Remember all right, good morning everybody getting six or seven casey okay radio program. Um, God help us man. Apparently Biden decided that he wasn't going to go to like any of the dinners with the world leaders there at NATO, and um, that's kind of become a thing when he was in Japan and then where was it last early Indonesia or something, same deal, And I'm I don't know, I'm a little torn on it. Right, they're

not doing it because there's not going to be ice cream there there. I would assume strategically he's not going to dinner because there's a you know, the theory that some people have is that there is a window of time and there is a certain amount of preparation required when he is able to publicly do things. And I don't know that there's any evidence out there pushing back on that

theory. Four o'clock interviews on CNN instead of Primetime. The CPAP mask thing, which was still very prevalent, and for anyone out there who uses a c PAP, I'm assuming that doesn't last for half the day. The marks on the face, so that kind of gave the indication he had been sleeping just prior to that afternoon thing. And don't get me wrong, I love a nap as much as the next guy. But you know, it all culminates with they They don't want to get him around at that time of the

day with various world leaders because there's going to be cameras there. There's going to be, of course, the standard gossip that emerges from the various countries, press people and governmental people. And I don't you know, maybe that's his way of trying to project to the world. It's not as bad as his critics are saying. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is running around like some weird speaking spell or speak and say or whatever that thing was called. And it's

for her, I don't I don't think that it's because she's exhausted. I just think that she continues to be in over her head. How many of you didn't know what transportation was, Well, luckily the Vice president's here for and I again want to thank the Secretary for your work. This issue of transportation is fundamentally about just making sure that people have the ability to get where they need to go. It's that basic, is it? Is it?

Though? Is that what transportation is? Because people are referring to it as you know, she's an idiot. It's a gaff, but in reality it's a lie. Look at the priorities of the dot right now, and you know, with racist roads and you know, basically all of the diversity, equity and inclusion stuff being shoehorned in there. There's a big debate going on right now with the current budget that the House put out, how much of that you know, diversity equity stuff that the military is going to put up

with. And that literally is a sticking point for the Biden administration. They issued a statement yesterday because in the budget there's a line in there that says, when you're promoting in the military, you need to promote based on merit. Now, look, don't get me wrong, the military is like any

other entity out there. Right there's going to be I'm sure every one of you who has served in the military has scratched your head watching a promotion of one of your fellow troops because you know, dude can't tie his shoe, or she's an idiot or whatever. And you know, so there's there's a certain amount of like anything else, there's going to be people with alliances and

nepotism and people brown nosing and like, that's understandable. But what the administration is rejecting saying that they want to do is specifically work for diversity among all of the various ranks and merit will not be the primary issue in some cases. Well, I'm sorry, this isn't you're you're not making widgets, do you know what I'm saying. I mean kind of you are with some of

the especially when you get up into the upper rachel on there. You know that that middle of the road where you're not really in charge, but you've got a suite officer's job basically under one of the generals or something. But in reality, when you're looking at promotion, I would assume that you would want the person that's in the best position to carry out whatever the military mission is. And especially as promotions happen, these are the people in charge,

These are the leaders. How is this? How is this even a topic of discussion? Man? And they wonder why recruiting continues to be problematic. Um, I'll give you more on that story. We got bud light stuff, all sorts of fun little uh little nugget stories that actually and I this morning, I had to, UM, I had to learn a new term. And I'm gonna tell you I didn't want to, and I'm sorry I

did, but I didn't. I didn't know what this was, and it was it was buzzing on the social media yesterday after the Vassoline corporate account put out something really weird. So we will have to touch on that as well. But right now six fourteen, case O Day Radio program Hang on TALKTI two stations driving them as did Talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right, morning eighteen, all right, So here is here is the story on the budget and the military promotions thing do do do?

Do? All? Right? The administration has formerly announced a pushback against a new provision in the annual Defense spending bill that would require military promotions to be based solely on merit. The White House responded in a statement outlining a number of provisions they oppose, which is not unusual obviously, when you're hammering out something the House put together and it's posing party in the White House.

There you go. But it's it's one thing to say that you know you want to um, you want to include diversity, equity, and inclusion within the military. But when you put out a statement and you're formally announcing that you want it to be the driving force and how you promote, and you're already having issue's recruiting, like, it's just bonkers to me. All right, So here we go. DoD strategic advantage is a complex global security environment

with diverse and dynamic talent pool from which we draw. We rely on diverse perspectives, experiences, and skill sets to remain a global leader, deter war, and keep our nation secure. Moreover, DoD is committed to developing and maintaining dignify blah blah blah. All right. So basically they said, we're not able to staff the military and do so and reinvented in the way that we want unless this is the driving force. So anything forbidding that within the

budget flies in the face of what it is they're trying to do. Um let's see here. Oh that's the statement from Chip roy As you can imagine the House. Republican statements are it's dumb, you should you should you should promote based on merit, which I guess I would have. I would think most people would agree with that. I would think most members of the military and x members of the military would agree with that. But um, you

know, there's a I'm trying to remember what the Twitter account is. There's a Twitter account which is um it purports to be representative of US military member members, but it's all moonbat stuff. So like anything else, when it's then presented or quotes presented in a news story, uh, you know, it's it's it's said to be all here's here's a collective of military members.

Here's what they think. But it's the same game that we see like with the North Carolina Teachers Education Association right running around with the red fish shirts and most teachers are not a member of it, yet the media will portray it as well. This is this is on the pulse of what teachers are thinking. When that's not reality. So yeah, prepare for that fight. There's a whole laundry list of things within the budget that they're pushing back on.

So but I just putting that on the record, I thought was pretty strange in such a specific manner instead of just saying, look, we don't want our hands tied. So but you know that's what you do. You got to signal ahead of the elections, this is a priority for you because they think it's what people want. In reality, though, anytime we then see polling on this stuff, it it doesn't go that way. Firmative action.

The majority of individual us pulled, including the majority of black individuals pulled, oppose affirmative action. And that's you know, the way it was portrayed when it was going down. It was another one of these the end, you know, the end of democracy or however was portrayed. So we will wait and see. I'm curious though, because maybe maybe I'm wrong. Is this something that members of the military and vets, you folks, is this something

you care about? Does this concern you? I'm sure you have beef with the way promotions work currently, But if you're driving force is one of diversity, equity, and inclusion rather than who's the best person to and then you know, insert whatever the role is, and you know it's it very well could be a life or death situation. I would think that that would weigh on one's mind. But I'm not in the military. So eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. You want to weigh in on that,

um, so be siding. If you're gonna send an email and you want me to look at something. You gotta put the link in there, dude, or I'm just gonna make up whatever I think it is. So all right, Oh it's Wednesday. Why does this week feel like it's going so slow? Ross? Probably the part where we weren't here last week? Huh. Yeah, I mean I was super excited Monday and then I'm already like sleep deprived, like three days later. Do you oh? Um, you know I just saw this story this morning too. Um, here we

go. One in three, um, stupid pop ups and York posts is getting horrible. Umm. One in three marriages in America are subject to sleep divorce. Do you know what this? I didn't know what this term was, but yeah, it's pretty obvious. Basically, one in three marriages the partner's spouses they don't sleep in the same room or at least in the same bed. That happened to my parents, And but they had an amazing relationship. Like, you know, my father passed in twenty eleven and my mom

like still misses him to this day. That a great relationship. But the problem was, like my dad was a big snore and moved around a lot, and like so she just wouldn't sleep, so they ended up sleeping in separate rooms. I get it. Um, I worked with I worked with a guy who did UM morning radio guy, and they had you know, he had his room, she had her room because he got up so darn early and m but you know they were. They're still married, happy couple as far as I know so. But yeah, they said that. Um,

let's see here, who did this. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine. More than two thousand adults surveyed as part of this, and yeah, restlessness snoring the two largest reasons given non traditional schedules. Just digesting the rest of this story because I just glanced at it. Yeah, but you know, they call it sleep divorce. I think he's a little disingenuous. And

I'm sure there's some that. I'm sure there are some people that are literally like not doing the divorce and would be divorced, but just choose to coexist in the house for whatever reason, religious, for the kids, whatever it is. But I don't get the impression that's what they're talking about here.

They're just talking about getting a good night's sleep. Yeah. The issue marketing I have is we have an autistic child who likes to wake up around I don't know, one o'clock every night, singing old fifty sixties motown songs at the top of his lungs, and he will not go back to bed. But it's been passing out right, Like he goes to bed every now to eight clockwork, you know, because when you're artistic, your schedule is so

important. He goes to bed, passes out. But it's like also in cloud working for some reason, we're trying to get it off at like one o'clock, one thirty boom, he's up singing like old Bobby Rydell's songs Valada happening COEs on forever. It's like, I just want to sleep, dude. Well that's not on the list here, so but yeah, no I I I feel your pain. What was I'm telling you my hatred sing the other day? My hatred. It was my hatred for Bobby Rydell, who

I guess passed away. This knowledge you have as an autistic parent because you can sing. It was like Michael Jackson, he's out of that and now he's into Bobby Rydell. He passed away like last year, I guess. But my hatred for the man he's like it knows no bounds at this point, dude, because I just need to sleep and I'm tired of here in Valai. What's um? Where? Where did he even get a hold of Bobby Rydell? So we played Fallout four. It has like old songs on

it. But one of the mods on console was like this, uh, this playlist because part of the game is you have a radio while you're walking around, and the play the mod was like all these fifty sixty songs and Bobby Rydell was on them. And then for Christmas last year, the one thing he wanted was a CD collection of fifty sixty songs, and I got that for him. So yeah, he knows all of them. You know. It's like every song from that era, when it was recorded, who

sang it, when that person was born, when they died. M what's his favorite right Dell song? Valari I just well that's that's a good one. All right, yeah, no, right Deell died April fifth last year. Actually, so there you go, all right, we'll be back. Hang on, everybody. This is one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle and there's talk w PTI in the Triad. Well that is that's downright

terrifying. So engineers and I guess deep sea diving officials are now floating the possibility that the five people aboard the ocean Gate submersible likely had between forty eight and seventy one seconds where they knew what was happening and I obviously could do nothing about it. Yeah. Spanish engineer and underwater expert Jose Martin said that that timeline, with the damages, we understand it would fit with Titan's final

moments. So yeah, basically, less than two hours into the dive going to the shipwreck, they estimate there was an electrical fault that left the craft without thrust, and after that was the case, the weight of the passengers and the pilot UM would have disrupted their longitudinal stability. They estimated about fifty five hundred feet, so obviously an immense amount of pressure. At this point, the submersibile began to fall headlong towards the sea floor and UM can no

longer be maneuvered. So he estimates, you know, based on that drop and what was going on, Uh yeah, about a minute. Those are the story, man, You hear those stories. That's just that's terrifying because that's the what they were saying. Afterwards we found out for sure that they were gone, is that it was probably instantaneous. Right, there is like tweets about how the brain works and milliseconds and how much how much time it takes her up to respond to stuff. But knowing that they knew that is

kind of terrifying. It's like m Challenger when yes, yes, the scary like the god. The terrifying part about Challenger is and some people we thought, no, they didn't die in the initial explosion. They were actually still alive as they fell to the earth, even longer than yeah. Yeah, well, and I think it's because initially they thought was that they were They were basically at the seafloor by then, so fifty five hundred pounds wouldn't do

it. But once they fell and they hit that depth, that's what caused it. So you would have that falling it would be like a I guess a plane dashing out of the sky and nothing you can do, and just what an awful, awful thought. Man. All right, uh, oh good, we do have a all right, we're gonna get a call here on the whole diversity thing. U. The White House has said that they

do. They will reject a budget line inclusion by House Republicans, which basically says, look, if you're going to promote, you need to do so based on merit. The White House says they're they want to do it on diversity, equity, and inclusion. And you know this isn't They're not making children's toys here. These are These are folks putting their life on the line

in many instances. So I would assume you would want whoever is the most competent and best add carrying out the mission limiting uh, you know, injuries and or death to our soldiers. But I'm not in government, so what the hell do I know? And I'm not in the military. So let's see what you think. Andrew, what's up? Yeah? Hey, casey

um. So when you hear something like that coming from a political entity, like like a presidential administration, it definitely sounds like they're they're gonna, you know, deject all of us who bust a bust are but for the standards. But when you hear I will say, like diversity coming from a military stick mindset, like diverse backgrounds and skill set totally makes sense across the full spectrum of multi domain operations, you know, like you don't want a logistician

working on intelligence. Um. But also yeah, you don't want to be promoting people based off of the color of their skin because then you're you know, or because you're you're gonna wind up with nepotism and you're gonna wind up with all kind of other issues. Yeah. I just the bay, and I understand that the what you mean, Um, you're talking about diversity of

schools, skill sets. That's not at all what they're talking about. Just to be abundantly clear, right exactly, Okay, Um, maybe to some extent backgrounds and maybe there's some cross over there, but no, that's not what this is. This is about the current system within the military. There's already going to be decisions that are made where people scratch their head about it, right, like that exists already. It's just too big of an organization.

We're the largest bureaucracy in the world. Like it's never going to be perfect. Okay, but you know, this is them stating this is the goal. Um. I and they're having recruiting issues. I don't know how anyone reads that goes, yeah, let me sign up for that, especially if they don't feel they're going to tick any diversity boxes, right, because you're going to be stymied on promotions. So all right, Andrew appreciate the call, thank you very much. Yeah, yeah, that right. That's

the first thing that popped into my head. And I'm assuming people who are considering whether it is entering the military at first or having to make the decision to re up, these are all factors they're considering. All right. At two bud Light stories. One is the Costco story, which I found incredible. But let me hit this one first. So bud Light has now plummeted to fourteenth among beers. Remember it was number one, and then when it

was number two, that was a big deal when MODELO overtook it. Well, that free fall has continued and now it is in the fourteenth spot. I don't can you name. I mean, I understand there's there's a gazillion craft beers, but are there fourteen of the standard big beers that are really that popular? Like what do you have? You got? Um, well, you got bud you got bud Light, you got Miller Miller Light, you have michaelo Golden Draft. In some parts of the country, they don't

have it in the South for some reason. Um what what? Yeah, Miller Genuine Draft. I guess PBR probably MODELO obviously, UM maybe Hindneken. I'm just I'm just trying to think of the big, big ones. So for bud Light to be losing to PABs Blue Ribbon, um, that that is a crazy continued free fall. And now the Anheuser Bush folks are there. They want you to understand what it is you're doing. Yep, yep,

yep. They would like to remind you that this, this whole thing is jeopardizing the livelihoods of these sixty five thousand people who are economically linked. So it would be people who work for Anheuser Busch, It'll be people who work for the distributors. Um, you know, warehouse folks who drive trucks full of this That sixty five thousand people are in whole or or in a to a great extent, economically associated with the well being of Anheuser Busch's success.

And you know, I understand that. And obviously the of the sixty five thousand people were talking about a handful that made these decisions. But that's the reality for any company. You work at a company, the company doesn't do well. Unfortunately, this is the reality of it, and it cannot do well for a variety of reasons. In this case, it was a

wildly miscalculated marketing thing and more specifically hiring thing in the marketing department. And then the failure to address any of this stuff, and in a prompt manner, just trotting out, you know, Clydesdale commercials and friends at summer music festivals and thinking that that was going to correct all of this. And then the momentum, and I've said this before, the momentum then carried into a

cultural thing. And once it is firmly entrenched in the culture, where you're going to have people going, come on, dude, did you just order a bud light? What are you doing? When that's a natural reaction. And you know, in our society, which is so vain and loves, you know, posting pictures and all of that about everything that we do, people care what other people think of them. And once that ball's rolling, man, I don't know what you're gonna do. Case in point, ready

for this, well, actually, let me do this. Have you seen the photos from Costco? Oh? Yeah, Costco? I don't know. I don't know how much of the large retailers Costco is a percentage of bud Light sales, but it's not an insignificant number. Obviously, Costco sells a lot of beer all across the country, and they sell large quantities of it because they sell the big packs of it. So people are noticing what's going on with what is known as the Costco code on the pricing information, which

I had no idea about. But I'm going to explain it to you and why what the photos show is pretty damning and we'll do that. Come it up next on the case O Day radio program, Your Day Smarter one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk five w PTI More with Casey starts now. All right, So, um, the term is Costco death star. I've never heard of this before. Um. I used to have a Costco membership. I don't need more, just I wasn't you know, I was go there once or twice a year kind of stuff. But um, during

that time I had it for years. I never noticed this. But apparently if you look at the price tag right the the you know, the thing that's sitting next to the display there when you go to Costco. Um, if you look at the top right hand corner, there is in some instances eight an asterisk, and that is what is referred to as the Costco Star of Death. And basically, here's what it means. It means that that it's a signal that product will not be restocked once it's sold out. And

that can be for a number of reasons. It can be because they're just not going to carry it anymore. It could be a seasonal product. Right, So some of the stuff you see appear obviously, I don't know, around Christmas or Halloween, that kind of stuff. And then once they have all that they're going to sell at that store, you'll see a little asterisk appear in the top right hand corner of the price tech not on the actual item, but the one that's posted on the shelf there. And I didn't

know that. I also didn't know where's this other thing in here that when you look at the pricing. If something's being sold for were the last two digits excuse me here, ninety seven cents or an even number, that's another indicator that they are they're trying to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Whereas if it's at ninety nine. That's something that they're going to be keeping around. And it's it's not the totality of the company in every case.

Sometimes it is, but your store may vary. Is basically what's going on. So people are posting pictures of various Costco stores with the bud light with the little star up there. That is that's crazy just to make huge retail just a masterclass and how to destroy a business when it comes to marketing, Like I don't know the woman that was in charge of that, but is she gonna maybe Like I don't think she can work in marketing again, because maybe she can write a book and how to destroy account, do a

ted talk, and how to just make it make sales plummet? Like what it on? Come on, dude, do you think she's gonna be hired again? Yeah, but I think that she'll be hired by she'll probably they'll probably give her a professorship. What are you talking? Yeah, that's a good point probe at Harvard. I think she went to Harvard or she went to Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, they'll give her they'll give her a gig there, are you kidding me? What is the one thing that

we've learned all of all of the people on the left. They take care of their own. Man, they take care of their own. But kid, can you see her working in marketing again, if it's they're not teaching it, well, if it's some company that's you know, like if if it's like Ben and Jerry's right, if it's some company that just doesn't give a crap and politics for the most important thing, then yeah, she walks

into the interview wearing like one of those mustaches with the glasses. I'm just saying, you know, change, she can change how she identifies whatever, give her the gig, but I think that her being who she is, they're more likely to do it. And and the reality is, um,

the reality is that it wasn't just her. It was obviously they always leave this out, they say it's all about Dylan mulvaney, But in reality, what made a lot of people really upset was her referring to the current clientele is fratty and out of touch, and then to never address it was an air not necessarily just on her part, but basically everyone up into the you know, in management there, they just they just chose to ignore that and put us stupid commercials. So yeah, she's gonna be okay, but it

may have a different she may have a different look to it. The bigger question is how do companies, Because companies are they can't just come out and go, look, what bud Light did was stupid. We're never going to do that, and we're never going to hire anyone that would do that because then they anger activists on the other side. So what is going on behind the scenes, We may not know the totality of it. That is far

more important. And if you think right now at big, big companies that generally don't get seen as too political kind of fly under the radar that these are not discussions that are taking place, and these are not things that are factored in for hiring decisions. Give me a break, because you know that that's the case. It has to be happening. A pendulum has swunk um.

Yeah, So I'm trying to figure out where these picture. It doesn't say where all of these different pictures are from though, which Costco stores. So I'm curious if anyone heads over to the Costco or one of the costcos around here, let me know. Let me know if you see that little asterix thing there okay, because again it's not necessarily all the stores, but any story where it's suffering, which is probably a lot of them, that's shelf space. And I gotta you know, and what is that mean for

your standard grocery stores too? You know what's Harris Teeter thinking? Costco just has his code that I guess people were aware of, which I wasn't, but now I am. And there if it's not selling, they're they're not gonna put it in there. They got they got they got space, and they're gonna put something in there they're making money on. They're gonna make a business decision. So, um, we'll see, all right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four the phone number here on the show.

Um, a few military people sinam me stuff too. Yeah, yeah, So I'm not believing any of the you know, the statements that you're seeing in these stories where um, the military folks are all good with this. There's no way. I don't. Again, you don't even have to be in the military to sit there and resent someone who may get a promotion or an advancement in whatever your line of work is when you don't feel that they

earned it and you feel others were passed over. It breeds resentment and to funnel it then into a situation where that person can be commanding folks on you know, on a field of battle. Ah, craziness, man. And these twos and these stories exist simultaneously, the bud Light story where people are fed up with this crap, and the White House doubling down on this stuff. All right, hour in the books, coming back right after your news. Um, you got a little talk, just a little about Elon Musk

and Zuckerberg. This thing is getting all right, Good morning everybody. It is seven h seven, and we're gonna have to have a clock because I need to know what you purves are up to. I have so many questions about this story I'm reading right here headline. This is CBS news. Deer spread COVID to humans multiple times, new research suggests. Okay, all right, so this is going back looking to COVID nineteen various incidents dating back to

November of twenty twenty one and through April. All right, Basically, it's a sample of eight thousand, eight hundred and thirty wild white tailed deer across twenty six states Washington, d C. Obviously largely East coast, and it looks like there's a heavy sampling in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania area. Okay, so um. The analysis published Monday said that people people gave COVID nineteen to deer in including mutated variants from deer that then transfer back to

people. And again, these are these are these are living deer. Okay, So it's not like it's it's not like somebody during hunting season killed a deer and and caught some sort of disease from it, which happens from time to time with different things. It's one way to get the plague, man, you know, if you're not careful. Less so with deer. But obviously there's a variety of issues there. Most of it, though, the concern you get into with the wild animals is how it impacts livestock they may

interact with. Bruculosis is a good example of this, especially out west where I grew up. Blue tongue with antelope and deer two. All right, But in this instance, basically people are given COVID to the deer and then the deer given COVID back to people. How how is that happening? What

were you? What were people up to where this is a thing where you were in such close contact with said deer that you guys are swapping COVID nineteen because they do a they do not do a good job in explaining how that came to pass. Again, wild deer. These are not deer that are being raised on you know, operations that raise white tails. These are the deer you generally are glassing from a distance. You see him in the field

in the mornings, in the evenings, you maybe a trail cam. Maybe you do put a stock on them, because you're that's how you're hunting. But still you're not You're not you're you're you're not getting within six feet, is at least what I thought. But apparently they are the biggest problem obviously, and why they're studying deer like anything else is the mutations that come from

this. Let's see here. By comparing sequences from viruses and deer against publicly supported samples from human infections, they were able to trace the likely spread of three different variants between humans and animals. A total out of the eight thousand deer that were studied, spoke to one hundred and nine independent quote spillover events. Right, Because they're they're they're looking at the COVID that the deer had, and they're looking at what the humans in the area had, and they

realize that this unique mutation is shared exactly. M Let's see, I read this whole article twice, so they had spillover to the deer and then the spillover back from the deer two humans. Two of these spillback variants were in with Carolina, one was in Massachusetts. What are you all doing to the deer? What am I missing? I know, look, I know people were immensely bored during COVID, but what the hell? How is this thing?

And and also do you remember early on in COVID where like the whole thing with Katie give it to your pets right where you had people that were literally like, yes, I'm gonna have to grease madog. Right, we have these weird articles out there. What is it? What are people doing to swap diseases with the deer? Man? Because this is not a hunting thing. These are live deer that were infected live deer that then reinfected humans.

Back Government scientists concerned about how the virus could have spread between Yeah, yeah, I got a lot of questions because I've never looked at a deer like that, and apparently some of you have a very different perception. Now.

I've been close enough too wild deer, obviously from a hunting perspective, but in some instances where we've had deer that would get stuck in fences and I didn't want, Yeah, you don't want to get right up on them, so i'd be over like twisting the wire on the next post over, so I don't have to get near that thing. I don't think I got within six feet, because that's a good way to get kicked. Man, what a creepy story, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven

eight seven four. I just I don't know. If you're gonna put those numbers out, you should probably let me know how it's going back and forth. One of the things, at least from the human to deer side of it, um where they theorize I had to do with supplemental feeding. Okay, you know people running feeders, but still that's a whole lot of that going on and here in North Caronta. Yes, the dear we're ignoring the mask man day, you're correct, sir. They gave zero craps as as

far as I understand. So all right, you could get the little pet mask though those were those were extra creepy. So yeah, that's how we'll start the hour with that story. Let me flip over this other thing I want to talk about. Are you guys watching whatever this Elon Musk Mark Zuckerberg thing is? At first, I like I got the impression where it like it wasn't a personal thing, and now I'm not so sure, and it's just really weird to literally be proposing, um, measuring contests and uh then

Elon used, uh, the what do you use the word cuck? Yes, and then that turned into it's a white supremacist thing, um, which I would if if you think that that's the totality of what it is, it may be used, uh in in the the two or three examples that they're calling up here. But um, maybe you should google it because I feel like you're you're not gonna it's not gonna be a clan meeting. You need you get what I'm driving at. If you google that word with the

safe search off, I'm just I'm just trying to help out Ross. I'm right correct, Like, if you google that four letter C word, there, what do you what do you think it's more likely to come up a cross burning or a very um or like a dude sitting in a hotel chair. Yeah, yeah probably this ah, this is And then they were gonna fight and then they weren't gonna fight because Ellen Bomb didn't wanted to fight.

But Zuckerberg has been training, Like is the fight still on? Because I have a feeling Ela is just being weird Elon Like, I don't think he has any like serious Well maybe now he's pissed off because of the Threads thing. And you know, remember before Threads was coming on, they were having all that data scrapping problems where they were having to limit uh you know, posts and stuff. Yeah, though Threads is having some they're having some I

guess people who put it on iPhones it's chewing up their battery. Well that's the main problem with the Facebook app anyway. Facebook takes up so much space on your phone. But the other thing is too like everybody's like you saw Joan Donnagher and the Bloomberg Report yesterday talking about, oh my god, it's

the fastest growing social to a company ever. Yeah, but listen, it's attached to Instagram and Facebook, Right, So you automatically have two hundred million people on what those platforms, and you're giving them the option to join by just pressing a button. It's not like you're going over to Twitter and have to sign up and put an email address and do all that. You literally they say, hey, here's threads, push this button. So I mean it's not really them. It's not the same an't thing, No, not

at all. But I do know that Elon is threatening some sort of intellectual property lawsuit, so I don't know what's going to happen with that. But to your point, yeah, no, I don't think it's funny games are being weird anymore. I think it started out that way and now it's just weird. But I saw a photo yesterday of Mark Zuckerberg training with some UFC dudes and he's cut dude. Like, I have a feeling like Elon might be in trouble if they actually do this fight. Well again, I'm going

back to what I want. If they're going to do this thing, I want them to be able to use whatever gadget skills they have completely. It needs to be iron Man versus Batman, right, I want them you know, put put him in a cave with you know, some simple stuff or whatever, and whoever comes out with the next you know what I'm saying, Tony Stark made this in a cave, right, dude, that would be amazing and and and like, these are the guys that you want to do.

They can have a small team, all right, anything, Well, I agree, we need to put them in a cave in the Middle East with some you know whatever, some like an old refrigerator and whatever and see what should come up with. And I think if that was the case, Elon would win because mostly everything And you could say, okay, well Elon didn't make Twitter obviously, but you could say, you know, everything that

Zuckerberg has, he's pretty much stolen. Well, I mean that goes back to the very innovation of Facebook, with who is the Winklevoss twins or whatever? So yeah, right, so maybe maybe at that point, maybe zuck could do well if he had like, you know, somebody else's answers in the cave and what to make. But I don't know. Let's see here, come on, guys, deer farms, drive Rozoo's wildlife refuges, rehab pettings. Well again, there these are not the deer there, but obviously

you do get some cross interaction. And how many moonbats by homes and moved to Montana and are feeding deer to the point of domestication. You feed him while you want. You're not gonna domesticate deer, especially out in Montana, Wyoming, although um we did. There was one guy who he married, this moonbat chick. It was over by Gillette. His name escapes me, but he was neighbors with a friend of mine and like she was, she was like vegan and whatnot. And they run a cattle ranch. He runs

a cattle ranch. And he said that he started seeing like antelope and deer who obviously had been injured in fences walking around in like full ace bandages and stuff because whom was just running around rescue him and stuff. And he sent me these pictures and I'm just like, people got too much time on their hands. Kyot's got eat. Wolves got eat too, That's all I'm saying. All right, let me grab a call here, John, what's up, Hey, what's going on? Casey? I'm calling about the your your

your favorite little deer COVID story you got going all right now? I don't know if it's my favorite. Just just creep me out, sir, but go ahead. Yeah, so I have. It's kind of it's kind of out there, all right. You got to stick with me because you're trying to figure out how the COVID got, you know, from the person back to the person, Okay, or you know, like this whole thing maybe just maybe it's all made up, and the whole study they just made it

up. So they just made up that there which part is made up? That deer have COVID or that there's a there are similarities in the variants. Yeah they well no, I mean, maybe deer have COVID. But but the fact, you know, your people are all out here mingling with all the deer, you know, giving it and taking it. So maybe that part, you know, is a little little bit far fetched or or and

another option. Have you heard the stories we've done over the years. Wouldn't they didn't they just arrest some Mississippi for at ten year old or hooking up with a dog or a horse or so, I don't remember what it was. Plus you have a guy down in the burlet that your story was just talking about. I'm I'm look, I'm just I want to know. But I kind of don't want to know, so that's why I was bringing it up. So if if it has to be, would definitely win if they

could make devices or something. All right, Well, now the crepactors hit a living all right, John, thanks for the call. IM just saying, get a get on a dating nap or something. Well, unless you're a guy who doesn't make a bunch of money, this is this is the most obnoxious attitude. Uh. This this chick who is a relationship expert. A story on her giving advice out of San Diego, and um, you know she's she's trying to help women who can't find can't find a man,

say, it's harder than ever and the advice she's giving is horrible. But I think largely contributing to uh, these you know, these these creepy tiktoks where some woman's like, I don't get it, I don't know what's going on. I remember that woman's like, ah, every time I find a nice guy, he's conservative, what do I do? So well, we'll touch on that as well. Seven twenty two hang on keeping you connected. This is WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the

triangle. All right, long second there to um get things rolling in this hour, but we got lots of ground to cover, including a story that's getting national attention. Out of the high point. It's the story of the Hank and his owner, Adam Barnes. Hank is a black Lab and on Sunday, a police officer fatally shot the dog, according to the family, was the wrong dog. So we'll give you the details of that as you can imagine a lot of outrage, but folks also defending the officer, so

we'll get into both sides coming up the show. After the show, it's on the iHeartRadio app. Searchs Casey O Day for the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. All right, and there were a cup whole couple stories or one video and then one story Meg of the rounds here recently. But sadly this is not an unusual thing. It is occasionally something that law enforcement does. This one just hit close to home. So over the weekend, a family Adam Barnes is m is the I guess the patriarch's name, and he owned

owned a dog named Hank. Hank was a black lab. Barnes describes him actually as his um is his son's dog more more than anything and Um. They live in high Point and UM. On Sunday, police and High Point responded to a call from a woman concerned about a stray German shepherd. It

was in her yard. Apparently was in the yard acting aggressive, so she called told police as you do. Police showed up and in what is being said to be a case of I guess, mistaken identity, when they arrived on scene, initially they could not catch that dog, and a neighbor had then pointed them in the direction of where the heat I guess they said the dog was, but it turned out to be the wrong direction. And so

from around this house barking comes this black lab. The officer initially backed up as the dog continued to charge, but eventually drew a service weapon and shot the dog. At the time, the dog was reportedly about six feet away, fired four shots, killing the dog. Obviously, a lab is not a German shepherd. But and I'm curious what you think the dog was.

The dog was not just standing there now. The reason the dog was obviously barking and approaching the officers because the officer was now on the dog's property I

guess or adjacent to it. It's a little hard in the story here to figure out exactly where the officer was at the time, but yeah, he's in front of the house, sees this dog coming around the corner of the dog is barking as dogs do when you enter their property, and it was at that point the dog, which had been with the family for nine years, was shot. Let's see here if I let me read does this is some quotes from w XII quote. The dog was within his own yard.

He had no reason to shoot. If the officer was fearful for his life, he could have gotten back in the vehicle faster than he shot four shots maybe I mean six feet away. And here's the I'm not taking a side here. The whole thing is tragic and sad, but some people seem to be trying to, I don't know, assign some sort of malice to this,

and it just sounds like there was miscommunication. There was a situation here where the officer was directed by a witness in the wrong direction and didn't see the initial dog and then sees this dog coming barrel around the house, barking, coming aft, coming at him, and he reacted for his part. In the interview, Adam said, quote, I'm not out here to you know, call for anyone's job or get somebody fired, but I do want

you guys to acknowledge what happened. High Point Police and they're investigating the incident at this time. And again, this it happens. It happens more times

than you think. Now generally when when an officer goes and dispatches an aggressive dog, Um, there has been an incident where the dog has attacked somebody, right, and we've had some pretty pretty nasty, brutal stories where um, you know, we've seen people get killed by dogs here locally and around the country, and when the officer shows up, especially if somebody's injured like that, I think the expectation is that they're going to shoot the dogs.

And it's what's interesting to me is, um, the way that people are reacting to this in the sense that it's all or nothing right either um either you know, Hey, if you got a dog and it's it's it's being aggressive, it's somebody, ye, then you should be able to go ahead and shoot it. And then on the other side, it's no matter what's going on, you can't shoot a dog dogs just being a dog and I feel like the truth probably lies a little in the middle here. But I'm

curious what you think. And you know, when you get into like I don't know the fencing situation here, I've lived. I lived. When I lived in Minnesota, we had some people down the street who had these two dogs and they did have them, they did have them in their yard, but the dogs would constantly get out and they were really aggressive. And I remember I was I was because it's where he pulled into where I lived, and there is like these two kids that are they're like up against a tree

and they're bawling their eyes out. They're like five, and these dogs are, you know, ten feet away, scaring the crap out of these kids. And this is like, you know, the umpteenth time that we've seen these dogs get out the guy. The guy was a real piece of crap. And you know, I literally pulled over and I got out, and I was armed, and I told the kids they could get in my car, and then the kid one kid wouldn't get in the car because his mom taught him right, But I'm like a dog. So but that ended up

kind of dispatching the dogs there because there was more aggressive people. Well, eventually one of those dogs ended up, you know, it was one of the relatives of the guy ended up mauling a He was a young teenager, twelve or thirteen, pretty badly. So uh. And then some people are saying, well, look, if you can't tell the difference between a German shepherd and a black lab, you're an idiot. And I agree that you

should be able to tell the difference. But also they're going based on somebody who called and IDENTI find that, and you know, you're not one hundred percent that that person properly identified what the dog is. Eyewitnesses are there. There are problems all the time I identify a vehicle, it turns out to be something else they identify, in this case a dog. Maybe they don't know that much about breeds. I don't know. So what do you think?

Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. Yeah, so yeah, So here's my email. Sorry, if you can't tell the difference between a lab and a shepherd, you're a moron. I you know, I feel that I could tell the difference, but also I'm basing it off of a single report, and I have a secondary thing where a different neighbor has now pointed me to a specific yard and they were wrong. So you do have the air there. So police, sir, this is what they're

they're dealing with, is this dog. The whole scenario is just tragic and sad, and I feel horrible for the family Lee. But I don't get the impression the officers out there just like, hey, man, I hope I get shoot a dog today. So you can weigh in on that. Seven forty four all right, I'll look at this. So I got are we doing Ray on the hot line or the comracsax? I see he's calling in. We'll try the comrads. But he's calling in on the hot line.

Are you there, mister Staging? All right, it looks like he's gonna be on the phone. So do you do? You do you? Let's try it this way. Um, whole thing is now it's acting all weird. There we go Ray stage from the weather channel. All right, how are you doing? The man? You've got me somewhere. I don't think there's a whole Yeah, we could. We could hear you on the

comradsh that's funny. I got you on the phone now. So let's just let's just roll with this, bad boys, because somebody's playing music and the other thing. So yeah, good time, all right, all right, no problem, We'll just do this and then we'll do it on the phone in the next hour. Yeah, there's there's some there's some out of town hosts that are doing shows in the building and it's uh yeah, yeah yeah, but that's we thought it was today, but it's until tomorrow. So

phones phones for the rest of the week. Firewayser, which it sounds good. Well, it looks good. Um. There was a little small area of showers feader showers Ralphayville earlier this morning and well south of us, and that's moving away, so that's good news. There's a little clouder than that. We are in good shape here this morning. Lots of sunshine. I'm gonna see a little kick in the humidity upward as we hit about nineties.

Some will be just above same thing tomorrow and it's gonna start feeling closer to one hundred with the heathendecks tomorrow, So get a little sticky out there in the coming days. That will be Friday. In the weekend, we'll start getting shower steader showers. The bias will be towards the gapter dooon hours. Hot humid weather expected typical Mitchell by little mid nineties, maybe a little bit above average, but the heat and disease will make it feel quite a bit

warmer, probably close to one hundred. So well you'll dodge storms, but in between that'll be hot. All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it. We'll talk in an hour, okay, okay, all right? Uh and again phone number eight eight eight, because I'm dumb, Okay, what a day? What a day? What is is? I know? I'm I'm well aware. I did see the other video, this one in Ohio where they shot what was it a golden lab or a golden golden retriever?

I got it, man, it look it's horrible. But I also saw the video of those two pits that were chomping down on that dude and um and police went up there and doing everything in their power to separate these dogs so they could put them down. So and those were pitched, and then we had the woman with what was it like? Was it weener dogs? You got killed by six wiener dogs? So with that in mind,

we'll get your your takes coming up seven forty six. Hang on Thank You, jec Is on five WUTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. I welcome back seven to fifty one. Let's see here. This seems to be the dividing line, and I guess I'm a little unclear. I can go off what was said in the interview as to whether the officer was physically on the property or was quote in front of the property quote there was a stranger in front of his house while his family was

out there, and he doesn't know them from Adam. He's gonna bark, he's gonna run. And also keep in mind, um an officer, uh you know, goes up and knocks on the door. They don't need a warrant to do that, right, So, I again, I understand what people's concerns are here. I get it. Somebody pointed to a scenario where, um, you know what happens if an officer is on your property because they have the wrong property and you come around the house screaming at him and

something happens. There's been incidents like that, But I guess I didn't get the impression the officer was like digging around in the backyard here. I don't even he says, in front of the house, So I don't know if he means on the sidewalk or if he means literally walking up the porch to knock. They said, the whole situation sucks. So let's just get into some phone calls here, Scott, what's up, hey, Casey, love your show man. So what do you think about this? Well, my

take is, all right, we're looking for a German shepherd. He shoots the black lab. Yeah, that can go horribly wrong if it was human being. Yeah, personally, I think the officer needs to be removed. Well, in this scenario, does the human being come from around the house and uh and is moving aggressively at the officer or is it the human says, get off my property, because I understand what you're saying. But there is a dog. A dog's gonna a dog is gonna bark regardless if you

don't know you sure, nine times out of ten. Okay, But once again, we're looking for a German shepherd. Well, we're not a black lamb. We're we're we're going off of a single individual witness and then another witness contradicted that witness by from a location standpoint right, so right, this is this is this it's also messy. Yeah, yeah, no, I hear you. I mean they're roughly the same size, I guess, you

know, so there is some milarities there. You know, if it was a Chihuahua that rolled around and you were looking for a malamute, I think that would be pretty clear. But a black lab, a German shepherd roughly going to be the same size. And again I don't know, they're investigating. We'll see, but sadly it's not that uncommon. And you know, it was the dog on the property the whole time or did the dog leave the property. So I wish there was a little more info, Scott.

I appreciate the call this morning, though, I get your concern. Um let's see here, Jake, Hey, good morning. Yeah. I recently lost my dog, so I could feel with a Sago owner. I lost him on Saturday. But he was one of the best protective dogs, alert dog that you could really ever get. And about four years back, I had police in my yard with an AAR fifteen advancing on a house up the road, which is kind of a big deal. And I guarantee if I didn't have a fenced in yard, I would have a dead dog, and

I wouldn't hold it against the cops. Not to mention the fact that if you want a dog for protection and companionship, it is also your obligation to protect that dog as well as that dog's obligation to protect you. Yeah, I agree with that. And again I don't know, you know, because there's some dogs like where you don't even need a fence. They won't leave the property or they have the underground to the invisible fence, right, really

don't necessarily know that. I mean, sometimes there'll be a sign there that says that, but you don't necessarily know that. I was playing golf one Yeah, I was playing golf at a course one time, and one of the people on the course had it and this dog started making a bee line for me because I was right up against the out of bound steak and I didn't realize they had invisible fence, and that dog stopped about four feet short

of me because the dog knew. But for a moment there, I'm like, I'm gonna have to hit this dog with this three wood because I didn't know what the reason I bought my house was garage and had a fence in yard. I mean the fence in yard. It could be a very big selling feature, not to mention the fact that's safer and good senses to make good neighbors. Yeah, I hear you, all right, Jake, thanks for the thanks for the call. Um, So people, why didn't they

taze or pepper spray the dog? I don't know. Obviously, it's a lot smaller target to hit with a taser, and uh, you know, people consistently, I've seen a lot of law enforcement videos where the taser just it doesn't stick, doesn't work, it wasn't the right shot. Dog's gonna be moving faster, and um, you know, I don't know. I don't know what policy is there, to be quite honest with you. So, but it's a fair question, Brian, about a minute, go ahead,

Yeah, good morning. Look, I think it's an extremely unfortunate event, and I like dogs most times, and I like people. However, I do think the cops should have known the difference between a German shepherd and a lab being as most German Shepherds are police dogs. However, under this situation, when you're being embarked at and run out by a dog, I don't care how big or strong or tough you are. It's a scary situation.

And the cop reactor the dog was within six feet. I think everyone's just looking to hate on the police and look at another reason to put him in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. And I think it's unfortunate. I think that your first caller, Scott says the top to lose his job is ridiculous. It's just it's just a sucky event. That's all there is to it. Well, and you know what, maybe during the investigation the officer violated a bunch of procedures and we find that out. I mean, I

don't know that to be the case. So right, maybe let's let's let's figure it out. Let's wait and see what happens. All right, we'll get a bunch of one away in happy to do that. All right. We got another hour to go, so for sure we'll get your calls if you want to get them lined up phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. And and keep in mind six feet distance. Um, you know one of the things officers, I know it was a twenty

one feet somebody with a knife. You know, they're taught that if somebody's within twenty some feet of you, and they have a knife. You may not be able to get to your firearms the time. This dog's at six feet and he's faster. Remember, well, I guess that means we're in good morning everybody at his hour number three here at eight o seven. So I've got people up set with me on both sides of this dog story. I feel like I've been really kind of middle of the road hoping to hear

what you have to be. So either I want dog shot or I want officers demonized. Oh kay ah eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Well, um, we have more of your calls on it. But again there's, you know, there's some stuff we don't know. There is a couple of witness statements. There is the statements from the dog owner in the interview they did with w XII, and um, I guess I just I assume that the truth lies somewhere in the middle. But we'll keep

chewing on this. Let me get some more calls her Carol, what's up? Are you speaking to me? Yes, already ahead, you're on the air. Okay. So I was wondering at first whether it was the same family that had called the police and it was not. They went to a different house, which is where they were told the dog lived, and but I have found it on Google Maps. It does not have sensing, so there's that. But it's just really unfortunate. And nobody has said that the

police officer didn't realize that wasn't a German shepherd. He shot a dog that was the look to be getting ready to attack him. So I don't think that saying that they can't tell the difference between a lab and a German shepherd makes any sense. Well, I just I hold out the possibility that sometimes witnesses or people who call nine one one not intentionally, but you know,

I have given inaccurate information, and um, that's all. That's something that's going to be in an officer's mind, even if he did notice the difference. We're talking about some that transpired in seconds. So UM, but I wasn't there. I was not in the mind of the officer either. But people who are saying this guy's got some like blood lust for dogs, um, I don't think that that's fair at this point, and unless new evidence comes out. So yeah, it's just really unfortunate. So thanks for taking

my call. Yeah, I think anyone viewing this story realizes it's horrible. I would hope, but I don't know some of the email I'm getting, maybe none. Maybe I give some people too much credit. All right, Hello, what's up hey, Casey? So I'll call him out the down taste class surprised. So the way I see it, that doll was there for a reason. It wasn't because of cheating Cuddly. That was a working

doll. Okay, criminals have working dogs. They don't have pets. Okay, in my opinion, leave them a white and let them do what it takes to get the trash off the street. If you've got a dog to keep the cops out of your house, that's a problem. That dollar's gone. Well, well, nobody's accusing the family that I mean, it sounds like they admit that this was this was the wrong house, and right, I understand that, but at the time that was an information they didn't have.

So they were going based off of what they the information they had. And you know, stuff happens when you, you know, hang out with the wrong people living on neighborhoods. You know whatever. I don't know, again, I I don't know. I don't know, I don't think it's unreasonable if people have dogs that those dogs when people appear to be coming on the property, bark. But it comes into a fencing issue, it comes into uh does the dog stay on the property. There's a thousand things we

don't know here, so but I appreciate the call this morning. Okay, all right, yeah, I again the homeowner. By the way, in the interview, he sounds like a perfectly reasonable individual. He even went on to say, look, I'm not I don't I'm not calling for anyone's job. I just want them to acknowledge what happened. Somebody come out and say they're sorry. And if the if the information bears that, I don't feel that that's an unreasonable request. Let's see here, Anthony, what's up?

Hey? Man? Just wanted to say, I'm assuming you guys never got to see the bodycam footage, but Channel twelve showed the bodycam and the dash cam footage of the officer as he arrived on the scene, and from the footage you could tell that there were four or five people standing in that yard, and there were three or four lads and they were just all running around plague and had the officer took five seconds to look at the scene before he ever got out of the car, he would have known he was in no

danger there. But he got out of the car with his gun in his hand already and walked it. Never even got into the yard. He was still in the street when he shot the dog. The dog came running around the car, and they also showed footage of him as he was getting ready to leave the scene after the other officers had got there and took control of the scene, and he admitted to one of his officers that he was scared of dogs to begin with and probably shouldn't have gotten out of the car.

And I agree with them if he doesn't, if he's scared of dogs, he never should have answered that call to begin with, because that puts him in a bad situation to begin with. Yeah, and so I did see a small snippet of it, But when the guy was talking about him and retreating, um, I didn't know if the officer had had at any point stepped in and then backed up. So thank you for clarifying that. But also, you know, dogs, especially a lab, but a dog in

general, is gonna run at you. We've all had dogs run at us, and you know, most of us are are pretty good gauge of that dog either intends to bite me or that dog wants to lick me to death, do you know what I mean? Yeah? Yeah, So you know, it comes it comes down to what the officer was thinking and if and if he already had a problem with dogs or was scared of them. Um, that definitely could influence it. I I don't disagree with you, so

all right, yeah, that's uh. Any any officer that's scared of an animal like that, they should wait till they've got back up before they get out, because, like you say, they they're already predisposed to be aggressive towards that animal if they think they're in the leash a little bit of danger. What did that? But to be fair, that dog didn't look like he was running up for hugs. And even the homeowner says, you know, he says, the dog's barking because somebody's out in front of the yard.

So there was a certain protection element to it. But you know, most of us can get to read on dogs pretty quick. Yeah. But again, Hetty sat in this car and observed for about fifteen seconds. The other people would have had the dogs under control by then, but he got out of the car with a gun in his hand, and that was the wrong way to approach the situation to begin with. Well, and here's the

other thing, and I literally witnessed this yesterday. A woman was walking two dogs out in front of my house and around the corner here comes a lady who's she's got like six dogs with her. She's walking. Two of them are off leash, and one of them barrels over. And I've seen that woman who walks those dogs. They were they all walking a line. They're a bunch of old dogs, and I've never seen them do anything like that. But the woman who was who I had not seen before, with the

two dogs. She was terrified. And what triggered that dog was her two dogs, not the woman, was the So you know, the officer doesn't know maybe that maybe he thinks that that dog is in that yard even with the other dogs and the people, because now he's gone over to be aggressive there. So I'm saying, all of these scenarios exist, so we shall see. All right, thank you very much for the call. We try to just fit these last two in here because I got a few other things.

I want to get to before the show is over? Roy, what's up? Hey, Casey? I don't know how I can follow that last long call. You pretty much just won the game. But my family breeds laughs. We interact with the police force all the time. We give dogs away for various institutions. Every law enforcement officer understands what a lab is. And if you see a black lab with gray and his beard, you know that dogs not aggressive because the black lab is not a common black lab grey

in his beard. If he's aggressive, this officer, based on your previous phone call, I'm eating this all through. It is blankingy black and there's no other way around it. There isn't a procedure issues. This is a humanity is hold on, let me just can I just push back for a little on one thing because I I inevitably I always get this list sent to me whenever we do a story, usually about a pit bulls or and I

agree with you pit bulls or not black labs. However, if you look at the statistics, and it's just based on numbers, not per capita, but numbers of of attacks and bites by dog breeds, labs are right up there, and it's due to the fact that they're one of the most popular dogs. So there's a lot more of exactly right, exactly so exact well, no, no, but it's misleading in the sense that people are they're they're being dishonest about you know, per per one hundred thousand versus total numbers.

But it also points to the fact that there are lots of circumstances where black labs do bite people, right, But yeah, a black lab that bites a person does not become a black flably gray in his beard, and you can see gray in a black labs of beard from a well more than six feet away. So this officer just was in the wrong one hundred percent, and your previous caller didn't nailed it with video events. But that's all I want to say. All right, okay, all right, all right,

thanks for the thanks for the call there. Um, yeah, a lot of a lot of finites here, and now that they're gonna let you do it, I'd be very interested too to see a full interview with that officer, but they'll they'll give you the investigations ongoing things, so you probably won't. Right now, Rob, what's up? Oh? I disagree with both those two previous callers that you never know on a large stock what if they're going to attack or if it get stuff that's going on because you don't

know the owner. It's it, he asked. Breeds are important, that the ownership is more important, how they raise them, and to get to go into a situation as a police officers has a situation and hey, something's a dog's attacking a large dog. Well, the size difference between a black lab and a pitbull or a German shepherd really in that much. And going into the situation, having people in the yard making sure that they're okay, and a dog in that video coming around the car hot or not. You

know, that's that's ready. You gotta be ready for action. Unfortunately, And the police officer, sure, he can apologize, but he was doing what he felt was his duty to protect his community, which is what he has charged with as a police officer. That's that's their duty. But I did I did want to ask if I could say just one more little thing. Well, okay, what is it about sir Joe Biden is a big bag of suck? All right? Fair enough? I seem to remember you

having that opinion about Obama as well. So you remembered. Yeah, well it's a it's a strange turn of phrase, sir. So yeah, it's a great situation. So well, right now, all right, thanks thanks for the color. Up. He's taking a nap right now, so he wouldn't he wouldn't even hear you. Um. I worked as a UPS. I worked at upas as a driver, interacted with dogs often. I knew

how and learned to handle all types. Well look there, yeah, I mean obviously you're gonna be dealing with them like the mailman on a much more regular basis. I don't disagree with you there, but um, ultimately again, and let me give you let me give you an example here. Um, and this is this is more. This is more situational. This is more of a country thing, and more specifically, this is more of a

wyoming thing, at least from my experience growing up. If you have dogs and they're you know, they're riding around the back of your truck, and one of them decides he looks into a field, it's not your field, see some cows, and it's like, man, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go chase me some cows around because that sounds like fun. There is a very high likelihood that if that rancher sees it, he's gonna shoot that dog, because, um, you know, you know, you don't want

them harrass you don't want anything harassing cattle. You don't want to take them weight off of them, you don't want them running. They could get injured, obviously. So the mindset there is control your dog at all times, and you don't want to mend it up. You don't want to mend it up on somebody else's property because a lot of a lot of a lot of those folks they might as well be a coyote at that point. So and you'd be mad at me about that. I'm just explaining the situation as it

existed where I grew up. And I can think of several instances where dogs got out, they got on somebody else's property, they were out of harassing livestock, and the rancher dispatched them and they didn't get charged for it. Now, this is a law enforcement officer, obviously, it's a you know,

it's not a herd of cattle sitting there. But um, people react in a lot of different ways, and sometimes they react in ways that you disagree with, and that's when it becomes um, that's when it becomes you as part of a responsible pet owner, not putting your dog in that situation. So all right, yeah, send your hate mail. That's fine, We'll we'll bang through all of that, all right, Crazy this crazy, This is I think one of the best summations of this article of what is

really wrong. I think where people are saying, it's it's just so hard for folks to meet each other, and why can't I find a good person? Women saying what the hell is wrong with men? Men saying what's wrong with modern women? And and onward and upward, And we get in these debates that this woman is somehow seen as a relationship expert and is seemingly giving the worst advice I've ever seen, and people pay her for this too. And in my experience, if you follow this woman's advice, and she's mostly

advising women, obviously you're probably gonna be single for a long time. But I'll let you be the judge, okay. And the irony, of course is as I saw the picture of her too with her husband, and he's not smiling in the photo. I look, I understand I'm projecting just a little there about what it must be to be around her, But ultimately it's it's it's some of the worst advice, but it's also something that I think permeates a lot of modern culture, and we'll talk about it. Plus,

let's see here one other thing I want to get into. Two Do Do Do Do Do? Had a reset all of my little Twitter stories there. Do you know what? Do you know what the term slugging means? I didn't until this morning, and I got to tell you I would have been My life would be better off not knowing what this means. Yet Vasoline, the brand of Vasoline, on their Twitter account, caused quite the quite the story yesterday. Lots of a lot of jokes too, So we'll do it

delicately. We'll get you that the relationship story, plus a few other news things, all coming up here before the before the end of the show again eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four the phone number. We're gonna move on from the dog thing though, just because we did get a lot of calls, So stay tuned for the rest of the news coming up. All right, Smart Talk all day, WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the triangle. All right, welcome back.

It is eight thirty six here on the case O Day radio program. All right, so I've now seen about ten of the folks who are on strike pushing back on this this Deadline article claiming that it's a negotiating tactic by the studios. Ross sent this to me earlier. Why is it no loading the article? There we go? All right, now it's loaded at three times. Um. Yeah, so this is from Deadline. Hollywood Studios WGA Writers Guild of America America strike endgame is to let writers grow broke, go broke

before resuming talks in the fall. So basically they're gonna wait them out, They're going to bankrupt them, and they'll, you know, they'll break the union. Um. I think we're in for a long stripe. We're not gonna let it bleed out, said one industry veteran intimate with the point of view of studio CEOs. So this is UH, purportedly the strategy among the UH you know, the big streamers like Disney, Netflix and UH Paramount and

obviously the various UH movie and TV show producers. There the big concern and the you know, the where the where this thing gets real con spiratorial is that ultimately they'll break them because they have a fallback in The fall back is having AI write stuff all right, do you believe that? I mean, we've seen how many examples were AI literally just made stuff up, and then somebody's like, I don't think that's true, and and then it's like,

now you're right now. Granted, when you're crafting, you're crafting fiction stories in many instances, even if you purport to be using or doing and working for a reality TV show. I mean, it's it's all garbage fiction.

But do you think do you think that that they're willing to bet it all on that, or do you think that this is simply a side effect of how badly these studios have and this much of itself inflicted, have found themselves doing what was what was the Disney I remember looking at the year over year for Disney movies and it was crazy how much money they've lost this year just because they've had so many movies that just know they've absolutely cratered, just aren't

getting it done. And so you know whether whether it is some long game thing that they're trying here. And this anonymous source for Deadline is spot on or it's simply just movie companies going, um, we're bleeding man, and um, so we're not. We're not going to move at all. And and right, you and I were talking about this soft the year. I don't even I don't even know fully what they want. I think they want some expansion on streaming with residuals there that maybe they don't get in their current

contract. And you know, admittedly that's a fair conversation piece. I don't care whether you whether you are a writer in Hollywood or an actor, or you're you're a guy on the radio. The fact is that we are the whole the whole industry is evolving, okay, right, So, um, you know, the the amount of people who listen to this show and do it via one of our app our website is a number that grows every year. So you know, the way that content is delivered, even from a

radio perspective, is changing. Arguably, it's changing a lot faster over on the TV side of things and the movie side of things. So you know, if you've got if you have a contract that doesn't take those into account. I can understand why people are upset over that. I gotta get it, but Also, you got to counterbalance that against the fact that these the companies are losing their butts in many instances, and a lot of it, a lot of the blame doesn't just lie with the studios for green lighting this

stuff and and going forward. It's Hollywood writers, man. Look at the garbage they churn out, Look at look at how everything has to you know, be some not everything, but a good portion of it has to have some social justice angle. The product right has been insufferable and just abysmal.

It's been so bad. So if they're asking four more money, listen odds are I'm guessing anyway, they're probably making more money than the average dude, you know, slaving away digging a ditch right on the side of the road. Yes, the guy work in construction. I'm guessing they're probably getting paid well. Yeah, you know, like anything else, it comes down to what projects you're working on and um, you know, and and how much

you work. But yeah, for the most part, if you're if you're a full time writer in Hollywood, you're making more money in the dude doing

the road construction. But I'm I'm shocked at people in the comments of the tweet I sent you at, like, I would say easily nine out of ten, if not more, are all on the side of the writers, and they're all like, you know, it's the greedy billionaire and they can't believe that the studio would actually want to force these people to give up the strike, right, They're like, oh my god, they're actually their plan is to break the union and have them lose their homes and their apartments,

so you know they have to actually start working again. Well, yeah, that's typically how these things work, right, Otherwise you wouldn't have the strike. They would just give you what you want when you want it. Well, you gotta have leverage, right, and you know, going back in the day the writers, remember the writer's strike, what was it ten fifteen years ago? I think they're under the still kind of the same deal. They had loverage, They had leverage then. Companies were still making money.

They were making you know, a normal amount, which is a very good amount, and there was some beginning of the evolution of things, and they went on strike and it severely negatively impacted the bottom line. But those are not the conditions right now. No, before you could do it right, and as always, the powers in the hand of the consumers, right, if you want to, if you're on the side of the writers, boycott

the product. And if the studios hurt enough, they might go back to the writers and say, Okay, we'll give into your demands and we miss you. However, it's twenty twenty three and now there's different alternatives, right, they can go the AI route, or they could even outsource it. Yeah. Absolutely, And also there are a ton of movie companies that are not Hollywood based movie companies. So you know, do you think the do you think there's a writer's strike at Go Well USA, which is the big

Chinese one that is literally funds half the damn movies out there? Now? Do you think there's a bunch of Chinese script writers currently walking a picket line somewhere in Beijing. I suspect that's not the case. So when it comes to the AI. Recently, I saw some people on the artist front freaking out about there's the new Marvel show Secret Invasion, which is about it's got a Samuel Jackson and he's Nick Fury. It's the Marvel Universe, right,

Yeah, it's it's a new show. The intro to that show, they was revealed, was made completely by AI. No artists touched. It was all done. I think it was. What's the one um, I can't remember. The AI program is called or something like that. Yeah, yeah, so it made and the artists are like, oh my god. You know Marvel doesn't support artists. Well they can now plug in whatever they want to this machine and boom they get it produced in no time. But don't

they don't have to pay anybody. Yeah, I'm telling you the you have to. You got to take into account the landscape. And it's a landscape that most of the people walk in the picket line helped create. And you know, don't give me this garbage. By the while, we were just doing what the studio companies wanted us to do, kind of, but they weren't twisting your arm. I see your tweets. This is this is the garbage you think you want to. You want to you want to shovel out

there, and it's not going well. And meanwhile, Mission Impossible and the trafficking movie they're they're gonna make a gazillion friggin dollars this weekend. And nobody's like, ah, you know what, maybe they looked at they looked at the top gun sequel last year, and like it never dawned on anybody that maybe Tom Cruise is the only one who has it figured out right now.

They it never occurred to them, so you know, they're just like, oh, no, we need to get what we need to take this old product and making Nanna Jones one of the least likable people we could and get a strong independent woman in there to take the reins. Well, that's not what people wanted to see, and the numbers bear it out. Eight forty five race Agic Weather Channel joining us. Now, what's going on, sir?

Not much gonna heat up around here the next couple of days, talking about humidity, coming back to some uncomfortable weather and then maybe some showers, thunder showers. So close to ninety today, someone'll stay in the upper eighties with lots of sunshine today, probably be in the sixties again this morning to the west of the mountains. We talked about that earlier in the week.

It wasn't the fifties again, so it was another pleasant morning there, but then low nineties tomorrow, maybe a storm in the afternoon, I think Friday, and into the weekend scattered showers and butter storms. Little buyas towards the afternoon hours, hot and humid, probably lower mid nineties across the region, the low nineties for the Triad, mid nineties for the Triangle. UM took

a quick look into the tropics. How much going on? There is an area of disturb weather in the central Atlantic as a chance of developing at about fifty percent, but that looks like it is moving away. So for the beaches, it looks like nothing more but typical mid July afternoon showers thunder storms. Will be aware of that as you had on that later in the week and this upcoming weekend. All right, thank you very much, sir. We'll chat tomorrow. Okay, okay, all right, there you go.

Race Aging from the Weather Channel and Joan Donneger from Bloomberg News joins us. Next one FM Talk w PTI, two stations driving them best talk. This is casey Oda and Carolina's Morning News casey Oda Radio program. John Donnaker, Bloomberg News. What's happened on this one? Oh? Okay, she's on the foe. She's not on the comradation. Okay, all right, well that's fun. Ah let me uh well, we'll wait and see wait see here in just a moment. Let me add one other thing too. I

was thinking about with this with this Writer's Guild thing. Uh, it was fifteen years ago when they had the last strike. We talked about the evolution of things. One of the things that has evolved immensely because of how we consume entertainment products now is the calendar. You know, some of the leverage you're going to have fifteen years ago is that people were used to they their shows and they knew that. You know, he had a couple of seasons

of the show. You had the fall in the spring seasons, and and you knew how many episodes there were going to be in a rough timeline of when they were going to be there, and everything was pretty regular. That's not how we do things. I mean, don't get me wrong. There's still network TV, but less and less people watch that, and more and more people consume on the streaming model. And while some shows are fed on a weekly basis, a lot of them they just they upload an entire season

and it is a very long time between each season, right. No, No longer are those days of once you're your show in the spring goes off, you just wait through the summer and then it'll be back in the fall. It's years, literally years in many instances. How many shows did you watch the season of the almost forget to go back, and then like two years later you're like, oh, look at that, there's another season coming

out. Because that's that's that's the scenario. So rather than perhaps pressure from the public going, oh, man, I don't know what I'm I don't know what I'm gonna do if we get to the end of summer my favorite shows not there, the fact is people are more used to waiting for a very long time, so you don't have that added additional pressure on the on the writers or excuse me, on the studios. So like the whole the whole dynamic has changed. Yeah, I mean back in the day, right,

remember that during there was Star Trek the Next Generation. Right, this season, you would have like twenty thirty episodes per season, so if the writers were to strike, man, it would cause serious damage. Whereas now, like you said, you have to wait maybe a year or two for six or seven episodes. Yeah, and now and now also we have reality

television. Unfortunately, yes we do, so they can just turn a camera and follow the Kardashian said not to say, obviously the show is writers and most of it is fake anyway, but it's easier to produce than say, you know, a big show. Yeah, so um, this is Um it'll be interesting to watch it play out, all right, speaking of mindsets, I don't understand. So I was reading this, and I gotta tell you, any anyone who would pay this chick ascent deserves everything they get.

Now, this is This is one of the constant debates you see and discussions going on in social media and whatnot. And it it's like, um, you know, uh, why aren't why aren't men how we want them to be? And then on the men's say, why aren't women how we want them to be? And uh, there's a lot of changing attitudes on things, and some of them are really really bad. Carla Eliah, who is a relationship coach earns your living teaching women how to find the right man,

has some advice and I think it's more rible you're ready. So she claims that's many clients struggle to find the perfect man because they have the wrong mindset. She advises women not to date men who quote can't afford their lifestyle and and any guy on a low salary she advises shouldn't be dating in the first place because women are investments and men don't understand that. Yes, yeah, being treated right is the bare minimum, suggesting women shouldn't be treated equally to

men because women's time is quote more precious. The coach claims many clients struggle to find the perfect man because they they don't understand how to find a provider mindset who will give the partners. I'm not gonna be able to read the whole thing just with the with the amount of time we have left. But it's horrible, horrible advice, and because it it flies in the face of everything that modern culture would tell us about. You know, it's it's the

whole thing. You want to quality till you have to pay for the for your half of the meal. But it's like that on steroids. But the part where she just telling men, look, if you don't make a lot of money, you shouldn't even be in the dating pool because her mindset is that is all that it comes down to. And don't get me wrong, evaluating a partner or a potential future partner's ability to you know, hold down a job, meet financial responsibilities are all important things, but that's not what

she's talking about. She's she is furthering this thing where she's telling women you all deserve the top one tenth of one percent and you shouldn't settle for any less. And I don't know how that's a winning formula for somebody who's being paid and likely has clients who you know, wants some results there. But I digress. I don't know. Maybe because it's in San Diego, that's how it is. In my experience, women are scared of speaking their standards.

They think there are no men like that out there, when actually there's a big pool of men with provide her mindset. And when I hear provide her mindset, she's quickly wants to point out it's not about any of the traditional things. Reject that, and anyone who has that is not worth your time. You know where it's like, you know, I'm gonna play the male role, you're gonna play the female role. She summarily rejects that.

She just bels that because women are investments that men need to pony up regardless, And she puts a list of the gifts that are to be expected during non during the early dating time. I mean the whole thing is just Bonsors. But hey, if you want to never find anyone, there you go.
