Wednesday-1-10-2024

All right, good morning everybody, and welcome Happy Wedness Day. That's how it's called. What do you work? I just you know, it was just binging on videos this morning. Depending on where you are, uh well, I think basically everywhere within the sound of my voice, you're like, wow, that was so wicked little storm that moved through. But in some places, holy cow, did you see some of the videos out of Charlotte with that car, Like there's one where there's this car just floating down the

creek and like, thankfully some folks were able to rescue the driver. But you know, just and I don't know the store. I don't know if it was one of those who like I could make it, if I just go eighty eight miles an hour, I can get across. I don't know locally or within the you know the more and then somebody was killed in Katawa County try a triangle to I guess to a lesser degree, although there were

some areas where obviously there were big problems. I don't know if you saw the picture from Florida the Panhandle there, so you got you know, how we got the row really tight row beach houses, right, that's pretty typical in North Carolina. Well, I'm down you know the Redneck Riviera too, and you know they're on stilts essentially, right, That's fine, and that'll get you above the water most times, but it'll also blow you over like a domino. So I hope everyone is safe out there. If you got

any crazy weather stories, we'd be interested to hear that. Let's see here, there's one other I was gonna mention to you ross you said there, you're someone in your wife's family, like their mall was my sister in law there in Covington, Georgia. It's the parking lot completely flooded of the mall.

Yeah, you're driving. You're driving, I think it's like I twenty or something, and you're driving there and it goes down to there's like a guardrail and then it sinks down where like the mall is like there's a ross and there's a Michaels and stuff like that. So it's at like a slope and the entire thing is flirted like it goes up to the guardrail. It's crazy. A lot of elevation chained there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What will the way where nuisance kids do? The mall flooded man,

that sucks for them. I guess I'll have to go to school maybe, although not today. In a lot of places, as there are a generous amount of closings, both school, some government stuff, and some you know. So basically, if you got like an appointment somewhere, you might just give a little look see on the internets. Wouldn't be the worst thing. I was surprised. I'm not knocking and I'm not gonna get it, but I was surprised some of the closures I saw. I don't know if

they were preventative or there were individual incidents with some businesses. But we'll chat with Ray stage coming up, so we will get into that all right. Coming up on the show. In addition to that, we got Navajo news and I'm inspired. I gotta tell you, I am inspired by this because I didn't realize this is how it works. So this is gonna be it's gonna be a big day. We've hatched a lot of schemes on this show. They haven't all panned out. You know, it wasn't It wasn't that

long ago. Ross was sticking post its to squirrels. Right, try to get that business up and running then, you know, we've offered to open a consultancy many many days, I struck upon holding my own lottery. That was fun. But now we're going big time with this story. I'll explain what I mean by that coming up the Hunter Biden art insanity is exactly what

you thought it was. Those are not my words. Those are from literally the guy dealing the paintings, which I'm surprised he said something that's a good way not to be able to deal the paintings and at least get your little share. But good on him, Good on him and Ross. We're gonna have to get all you guys into witness protection or something. Man the attire Bill's mafia from these violent, insane Miami fans. I don't know what's going

on with this. A Buffalo Bills fan was shot and killed near the Dolphin Stadium right after the game. So I had not seen this. Fans shot and killed after a confrontation near Hard Rock Stadium Sunday. The fan, identified as thirty year old Dylan Isaacs, was walking through postgame traffic with friends when he got you know, they're staid of walking through their cars or moving.

I guess he got bumped by a car. Isaacs and his friends chased down the car, at which point a fan, an opposing fan, and others. I guess the brothers in the car one of them got out and shot the dude. Now again, I don't know necessarily what prompted it. I wonder if they're not telling a story about how they didn't They just thought it was a crazy person trying to get them. But they have to know they hit him, because they knocked them over according to witnesses. So just absolutely

tasteless. Who does this, man, I'm telling you that division you're in, Ross, there's some there's some sketchy folks running up in that division. For you know, murdering tight ends to this some fan who just doesn't want to get run over, leaving and somebody who's angry responding. But yeah, so that's and I was trying to look this up. Ross. Has a Bills fan ever murdered an opposing fan that you know of? Has that ever been a thing. I don't think it's happened. I don't know. I

would hope not. I mean, we don't have time to check the entirety. Just during the Josh Allen era that I no, Okay, I didn't see this with the Vikings either. It took like two seconds after they heard that this happened, the Bills fandom to like, you know, start to go fund me for the guy's family, Like yeah, yeah, go fund me to raise money to bring Isaac's body back to He's actually Canadian. He

lives just across the border there. Uh and uh. Even Tyreek Hill, the Dolphins wide receiver, commented saying football is supposed to bring us together, not divide us. Remember that part. I don't know how effective that was, but that was a little bit of something. So oh man, there you go. And and by the way, you don't want to mess with Bills fans. They'll literally they'll light you on fire. Man. Is that what you want? You get three drunk Bills fans and from a tailgate,

and they can turn whatever structure you're into the prom scene from. It's a special knowledge they possess, so probably not a smart thing to do, all right, So we'll get that. Yes, we got to talk about Ray Apps and I don't want to do it. I don't because they still fail

to understand what the hell is going on. But that tunnel story is still in the news and it's creating some really strange scenarios because of course the entire story is going to be injected with very strong opinions with the Jewish community, but also really creepy, like you know, found footage horror movie style video that we see of them walking through the tunnels there what blew me away. In fact, I even texted to Ross yesterday. You know the chick who

runs libs for libs of TikTok with Chaya Chaia. I can't I don't know how to pronounce her first name, but remember she's public now, so on the twitters obviously we follow libs of TikTok on the show account, but also follow her, if only to document all the ways in which they're trying to They were coming after this woman for reposting videos that other people posted. She tweeted this out. I don't know if she's being held hostage or what's going

on. Man. The disgraced teens who dug underneath a well respected synagogue did so on their own after being explicitly told not to. They went against synagogue leadership. Gen z He was taught that nothing is more important than their feelings, and now they're emboldened to act entitled and spoiled with zero regard or respect for others. We keep seeing this time and time again in our institutions. We must fix the broken education system. The future of our country depends on

it. So I was a pretty industrious kid, teenager whatever, right, you know, I really didn't sit around and you know, just hiding my room. I was out and about doing stuff. That's a I guess, part and parcel of growing up there, and me and my buddies did some stuff. Not gonna lie. Of course, we had access to heavy equipment too, so tends to get easier. But you're not gonna convince me a couple of kids dug those tunnels. I mean what or even I mean,

it's extensive. So the narrative, the narrative, the response from the from the synagogue, from the leadership there is they're like interlopers who were told that they couldn't come into the synagogue, so they dug their way in or something

like. I said, the whole thing's weird, and I saw the entire Twitter Twitter sphere, Twitter verse turn on the libs of TikTok Chick because nobody's believing that a couple couple teenagers with a little extra time built rambo tunnels like they're Andy Dufrain with a little pickammer, like a little rock cammer, those

like elaborate tunnels. Man. And it only took him six months, right, Andy dufrayin right, it took him a few years, a little longer than it's a rock hammer, I mean, what could you do with a rock camera though? Right? Yeah, that's like I said, I still have no idea what's going on. I just want I just want an explanation that makes some sense, and I feel like we've yet to uh receive that.

And if it is if you have like rogue, if you have a rogue group of people who really want to go worship but you won't let them, and they so want to worship that they're digging secret entrances into the synagogue, that's a crazy story in and of itself. Hey, what's the give us some backstory on that. But yeah, that didn't work, and so just I mean that's the update. I wish I had some more for you, but you get the gist. And once again, I'm a genius with

my travel scheduling. I'll explain coming up here on the CaCO Day radio program. Keeping you connected. This is ninety four f WPTI in the Triad and one six one FM Talk and the Triangle. Well, well, good morning six twenty five. I hope you didn't want to go to Ecuador, which

you should. I had a really good time, but I feel like your experience would be different now after the largest criminal organization apparently decided to start seizing control of stuff yesterday, and I'm talking including going into the you know, the big it would be a kin to like rolling into CNN where a bunch of a bunch a bunch of cartel really isn't the right word for it, but it's just the criminal organization there, their version of the cartel. But

it's it's it's not just about drugs or stuff. It's about a lot more than that. And the head, you know, the main crime head, was incarcerated and somehow was able to make his escape. That is crazy. I guess he he had the he had the l chapos skills or an ungodly sum of money in the loyal army of individuals, and he got out.

And then the president Ecuador is like, we've got to do something. And then his henchmen started like literally taking over stuff, including mid broadcast on what is their their big nationwide news network, just rolled right in held him at gunpoint. You see one of the male anchors breaking down and everybody else laying face down, threatening to you know, they're putting guns to their head. In other places, there were other facilities and government workers who were taking hostage.

They they say that some were executed. So that's not going well down there at all. And so just you know, be aware. I don't know how it impacts everybody, but just more law lessness, uh, sweeping over other places that used to be uh, you know, people used to go to Venezuela. It was beautiful, man. I'm glad I turned down that gig. I'm sure it was. Yeah. They offered me one hundred thousand pesos. One hundred thousand pesos I turned it down. Was really oh

man, that sounds like dude. I mean that would stress me out. I gets stressed out over station meetings, let alone that like couch money you're dealing with. I'm trying to think what the Ecuadorian is if if it was, if that was in Colombia, because I remember that's where I took a because you spend Ecuador. I was spending dollars. Uh, Columbia, you kind of can. But I remember I went to when I got off the airplane in Colombia before we went to Guatapay, which is very beautiful, absolutely

one of the coolest place has ever been. I hit the ATM so I had cash and uh it limit on the ATM was two million pesos. Oh my god, you fell like a king punching that number in. Is something bad that it's like five hundred bucks. Yeah, Rosser was gonna be the voice of Ecuador. He turned it down. That's a good thing you did, and you'd be face down prone with a gun in the back of your head. No olive garden there, man, I think there is actually anyway.

All right, this is Casey O Day and Carolina's Corning News. All right, welcome back six thirty five here on the k c O Day radio program. All right, So, yeah, I was just looking at the list here of all this insanity down in Ecuador. This is TV station.

A bunch of police officers. Uh, they're describing the escape as he quote disappeared, which I guess means that I'm sure guard just kind of walked him out for the right amount of money this, uh, this feto this crime lord there so, uh what is it the leader of the lost ChIL Naro's gang. Well, that's fun so ChIL Naros is uh whether there's a city there. But also it's like kind of means like macho man or men in in the way that it's slang used. So your namey, you're gay,

is wacho man? What has Randy Savage been up to? Man? I mean that explains the purple dow rags. I mean yeah they were. I mean some are rare do rags. Yes, that's so there's that, I guess. So if if like twenty Randy Savages storing the station, are you giving up or you get a you get a fight? Man? At at that point, I'm joining, oh really get gets you a do rag? Just don't even look at miss Eliza though, because they get pissed off.

Oh yeah, don't do it. Yeah, don't do that. Yeah, you jumped in and then jumped right out of the gang doing that and it's probably not pleasant. So yeah, that is just that is a mess down there. And the video is just crazy. They were in the TV station, they had like sticks of dynamite or what they were saying were sitting.

I mean, I don't maybe they were, maybe they weren't. And they were like they were taking turns taking it and like putting it in like the front shirt pocket of the hostages with like the wick sticking in their face and then flicking a lighter near there. So yeah, they were going for full uh uh, just criminal pieces of garbage. All right, let me grab a call here, sarge. What's up? Yeah, Brooklyn Western Avenue in Eastern Parkway, the old Brooklyn Jewish Center, the largest synagogue in the world.

Eastern Parkway going going south from Eastern Parkway is solid now solid Hasidic Jews in single family attached houses. Eastern Parkway is solid Jewish Hasids. These people walk to it and from their services. They can They could remove any amount of material, just like the way ants move build giant ant hills. They are there. You could not imagine how many people there must be. Five thousand members of people and any given meeting at the synagogue, no, no,

no, intimately familiar women. I went to Junior High School down a few blocks from there, going towards Bedsty going north in Bedford Stuyvesant. On Jewish holidays, I was the only white boy in the school, all the Jewish kids even then, this is in the nineteen fifties. Since then, a change from being conservative Jews, which are regular people, to have seeded Jews who are fanatical or I don't want to run them down, but anyway,

they're really they're Orthodox Orthodox. They would do anything that they're told to do by their rabbi. They would take a pocket book full of dirt to their attached private house down the street because they walk. They have to walk to services. They're not allowed to drive anyway. So they said, wow, how much could they take? Take five thousand people? Let them take one cubic foot of an hour? Who knows? Anyways, Susser hanging hang

on here there, but sorry, some other story. They are okay, okay, all right, all right, yeah, no, no, no, I'm oh yeah, I mean I am here. I can go on and on and tell you everything you want to know about the Central Synagogue. But you know I'm telling you they are They built those tunnels in their cooperative effort. They would they will never tell you the truth. Uh. They

are committed. They are fanatical, they are self protective. And if you drove down Eastern Parkway and go down Nostern Avenue, President Street, Union Street. Go down and take a look at the neighborhood. Casey, if you want to know anything about it, my wife will send you an email. Okay. Well, no, no, And here's the thing that went out. I am a Methodist. Okay, Well, why did you guys have that big woodschipper? Why did you guys have that big wood schipper at your

church? Because the Methodists actually have the best disaster relief effort of any denomination, of any people, and they took care of all the people in eastern North Carolina that were destroyed by that and they sent the first Methodist church in Wilson sent cruise down to Katrina. Eastern North Carolina had a bad hurricane. They were still working out there two years later. Okay, And you can

make front of Methodists if you want. They're not making making fun of I'm not even making fun I wonder why there is a twenty thousand dollars wood chipper that got stolen from a Methodist church, because I think it's funny, not that it got stolen, but just theudi you asked me why they had it. I'm telling you to reason. Okay, all right, well, no, and here's the thing. But the thing going back to New York is it's just I found it so weird because kind of that's what the synagogue is

saying. They're saying some more radical or fanatical offshoot that wasn't allowed to go. There was the one who dug the tunnels. And then the woman on Twitter said it was board Kids, and I'm like, I don't know what I'm telling you. What's what? Yeah, Mark, phone's going dead, So I go, okay, I got it going, all right, Okay, all right, I'll tell you again. Okay, looking forward to it. Thank you. So that's solved. I guess, right, I don't

know. I mean I don't know. So like somewhere in between two board kids and five thousand members of a synagogue with each having pockets full of dirt like Andy Dufrain, somewhere in the middle lives of the truth probably, and I just I don't know what it is. So that's that's why we gave you the update there. All right, let me, well, let me do this just because I need to pivot into something else and it'll be a smoother transition if we just go ahead and hit the brake. So we'll do

that. Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Hang on Best Show. After the show is on the iHeartRadio app. Search Casey O Day for the podcast on the iHeart radio app. Did you put that video on the show account? That was on your personal movie? It's my personal and I quote tweeted, I'll retweet in the show account. Yeah, retweeted on the show. So I supposed to this video and when you watch the video, you're gonna come to the same conclusion that he did. But

I thought it was funny. So I actually sent the video to a couple buddies that I've made over the years in in Costa Rica, who are their Costa Ricans, and they were in the In the video, it's some idiot tourist who's out hiking around like the middle of nowhere Columbia, like the remote section of Columbia, which is very sparsely populated as you get down and head

towards the southwest. I didn't go down there, but some people do, like you know, people making drugs, because that's basically where so much of that goes on. And in the video, I that's got to be a woman just with the emoji use in the way that but I'm speculating so and it's in English, so maybe she's an American tourist. I don't know.

But she sees this small plane coming in right over the tree tops, I mean us, right over the te tops, tree tops, and then make this real quick dive into this dirt runway that's just there in the middle of nowhere. And what does she do. She starts filming it. She puts it on the internet. I'm sad people have zero situational awareness. But I sent it to my I sent it my buddies just because I'm like, you were you grew up in Central America. They were both like, yeah,

that's that's the dumbest woman I've ever seen. That person is probably so dead like and the super incredibly rare, rare occurrence that I'm you know, hiking in the jungle in Columbia right right, and then I see like a little small puddle jumper plane come through above the tree line and land on a makeshift dirt runway. Right as soon as I see that little wouldn't have tried to

land. I have seen no country for old men. I know about Anton Sugar, right, what I am going to do At that point, I see the point in coming in. I put my hands over my eyes. I run the opposite direction, screaming, I don't see nothing. I don't see nothing. And the last thing on a tree or a snake. Last thing I do is post it on the internet. They see your account that has your photos your oh man, this is how, this is how this

happens. This is how idiots abroad. Man right there. But yeah, if you see now, I understand that a plane's got to get load of land. And if you see then it sits down this valley. But it's clear that the plane is unnecessarily close to the tree tops well on approach, and we don't see what happened before, may have been flying like that.

Here's a little here's a little fun fact. Do you know why a plane might fly at that altitude unnecessarily and actually a dangerous manner because radar, Man, they don't want they don't want to get popped by the by the authorities figuring out what they're doing there. So yeah, the film in that, that's great. Well, we'll tweet the video, Russ sweeten the video out. It's the dumbest thing ever, all right, So check this out.

Yesterday we told you that a massive space burial kind of is uh is going to be happening as part of the mission to head back to the Moon, which apparently now has been pushed back to twenty twenty six. That news breaking yesterday. But three hundred and thirty people. It's not actual bodies per se, but it is portions of it, and they're on these little capsules in

it like suitcase. It's very future looking, and so they were ceremonially going to essentially transport these these remains, these DNA and they're and they're the DNA is sealed in there, so it's but it's still good to go. I guess if aliens wanted to clone George Washington and then you know, invade us

while we're conflicted about fighting back against the first president. But they were gonna they were gonna drop these canisters on the Moon, and Gene Roddenberry's in there, several uh several Star Trek actors JFK part of his remains George Washington, and uh, now there's an objection. The Navajo Nation has officially asked NASA to scrap the plan, saying the Moon is a sacred space and leaving human remains on the moon would turn it in from in from a religious site for

the Navajo into a waste site. So they would ask you not to not to do? Is that how that works? Ross? How long? How long have you known me? Ten years? Right? According to the promo? Ten years? Be right? Yeah, or maybe a little more. You'll you'll testify in court that uh the whole time. I've always been a sun worship do you own? Shut up about it? I love the sun. Man got I got sun bling, send him sung memes. It's crazy anyway, So that's mine. Did you want to use it? Do you

want to use the sun at all? Or I mean, if you want to lend it to me to be great? Ah lend. I mean I'm a fan of the sun and like the vitamin D. How about a sun licensed a small month? Oh? Good point? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yet it that's the way I mean, if if anyone's gonna if anyone's gonna own the moon, shouldn't it be like the country that went up there and put a flag on it and said that you know, hey, we've been here. Or is it just the old rule of claims that claimed it's

my Yeah? It's like when you're when you let's say, like a bunch of your bunch you're leaving. You're all about to get in a car, and you say shotgun before you get to the car. That's your seat, right right. I saw the seat first, I saw the moon first. It's mine claimed. So anyway about that Sun subscription, if you buy twelve months, there's a thirty three percent discount on the Sun subscription. So I want to get on that. What if? Well, but by the way,

what if the Navajo did what if? Like the what's the what if the onon Naki took one of them up there for a for a fly by or something. Should they be penalized because they didn't actually have a flag if they're no, I mean that's how it should work, though, Like it should be ours because we went up there and put a flag on it. And I've been saying that forever. We should have a Moon base up there

by now. But the only way that doesn't count is if if you go up there, we put our flag up there and suddenly, like you know, they make themselves known, Hey, this is we live here, we are the Moon people. Well, then you have to have a war to conquer it, so it could be there. If there's somebody living up there, you're a colonized they did there. Yeah. But here's the flip side

of this. If I know anything, it's that when it comes to Native American reverence for anything having to do with burial sites, whether in this case it's one they want or they don't, generally you shouldn't screw around in that realm, you know what I mean. Like, there's been a few Native American burial sites that have come up in pop culture, and it never seems to end well well at first because you're like, oh, I'm a cat's back, but your cat's not back, not really, neither's your kid.

And also why would you build a whole housing development on it? Like you see all these problems, Like do we want the first crew returning to the Moon to have to deal with space pulturegeist? I don't think so. No, you don't want to curse. I mean, there's space is already ready to kill you at any moment with one mistake. Right now, you're gonna have space poultry. Guys like who keeps opening the airlock? Well, if it was you on there, I would say Ross is doing it because that's

how he he does to people he didn't like. But but you're not gonna be there, so space poultry guys, that's dangerous. Man. You're just in there trying to you know, eat your rations or whatever. And space poultry guys, you're messing with the thing. You don't want that. So I don't know what they're gonna do. But JFK and George Washington may not end up on the moon because apparently the White House is taking it very seriously.

And by the way, just so you're just so we're clear, the Navajo believe that they members of the tribe did go to the moon at some point, so that ad Anaki thing that literally kind of plays into it when you watch the ancient alien stuff. So so I don't know. Maybe they could be like a YouTube comment or and this is their version of but AnyWho, all right, two more hours to go, hang on back, all right, good morning, and welcome. It is our number two here on

your Wednesday morning. We'll get a chance to chat with Race Stagic coming up. That's that's gonna be pretty important because I guess unless you're in your fallout bunker with everything sealed, a little bit of weather out there, and depending on where you are, it was it was really bad. Multiple deaths. One here in North Carolina and Cataba County. It looked like the real heavy

flooding was down around Charlotte. There's some crazy videos of people just floating by in their car because I don't they you know, they decide, hey, I can make it, and rushing stream now you can't. And thankfully others were able to rescue them. But down in Florida you had like beach row houses like tipped over like dominoes into each other. Rossa's wife's relative. Their whole mall was, it's a new swimming pool. I have to assume that's

down in Georgia. There's bass boats on it already. They do like the bass boats down there on those reservoirs. But yeah, it was, it was bad. The good storm indicator at the radio station is the last little like two hundred yards on smoke Tree Court, which is just the you know, the little stub road that the station sits on the end of. And since it's in high woods, there's lots of trees around, so it's like

it's like the branch count like how bad it is. It's like, oh, there's some twigs, or there's decent sized branches, or oh my god, that's a tree. How am I going to get in? There? Is really the scale? Ross had to get out and move branches this morning. Do you get a chainsaw out and go all lumberjack? Or no? I did it with the sheer power and force? Oh did you okay? You made it sound like a really big branch. I didn't see the one you made. It was normally a drive over. I'm like, what the

hell is this about? Right right? Yeah? Yeah? So but if you guys got any crazy weather stories, please by all means eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four All right, let me grab a phone call on that lunatic tourist filming what straight up looked like Narco planes making remote

landings in the jungles of Columbia. Because that's smart, Paul. What's from nineteen eighty to eighty six, I had reason to work in Sinaloa, Mexico, and back in the border was a lot softer than it is today, and I was able to go in and out of Mexico pitching rides on private aircraft. And one time I was waiting to meet a politician who was coming back to Mexico from Arizona. And I was on this dirt airport, dirt airstrip, had no idea really where I was in relation to the town.

And I had a guy there with me watching over me, and our ride wasn't showing up. Our meeting was a showing up. And then all of a sudden, this stretch limo roars onto the airstrip, dust everywhere, followed by a school bus full of Bonda musicians. A bunch of drunken Mexicans pile out and started whipping it up. And I look at my guy and I said, you know, oh my god, we've stumbled into some kind of a drug deal here. Wait. You know, why why do you think

it's a drug deal? Because a bunch of guys are having a fiesta and they got musicians and it sounds like a party, sir. Well, in that part of Mexico, I was accustomed to being around the cartel, let's put it that way, but never out in the boonies in town, where they tended to behave themselves as long as you left the bar when they came in. But anyway, the uh, Eventually these guys noticed that we were like up on this little hill or we're looking the airstrip, and uh,

they don't like that a little bit. Yeah, the main dude wanders up and says, you know, what's going on? Where do you guys doing it? And my guy, my handler, he explains to him, well, you know, this is Paul Bush. He's he's he's a journalist from the States, and he's he's here, he's waiting to meet someone. And the guys said, journalists from the States. From from where? And he

asked me, and I said, Orange County, California. And he says, oh, I have two stores there, and he said, what do you mean and he hands over his card and he's the founder and president of l poo what And they were having a birthday party and you almost missed down in an I love Elo. It was great back then. Well anyway, we we chatted. I learned his story, a great story at parallels Carl

Carter's story. Carl's junior and I have this business, had this business card and on the back of it it said, good for two free poyoloco. Your head was going to get in the cooler and instead you got free chicken tacos. Well, when I eventually got home. I said to my wife, come on, we're going to go into Santa Ana and get some Poyo loco. And we go into the little poyoloco there. You know, there is not a big chain back in those days. I hand over the card

and I swear the young lady in a little uniform hind the counter. She almost starts trembling when she sees it. It was like Gus Fring had signed that card. And you know, if I've never forgotten that that I can't figure And I always wanted to write the story because the parallels were so amazing. But he eventually to figure out the totality of it. So like you,

you assume that they were up to no good. Then you get the card and you're like, ah, but then the woman's trembling, So does that mean she she liked because it wouldn't you know, wouldn't put it past criminals to also have other businesses that they run money through. You probably have heard of this or so I'm trying to figure out. I don't conclusion. I don't think this guy was dirty at all, because in Mexico is probably

a little bit of it. If you're doing that well yeah, maybe, but I but I also know that back in those days, entrepreneurial founders made a point, you know, whether US or Mexican, to meet all their employees and everything. And he'd probably been up, you know, to meet him. And you know, back in those days, if you got a job with a if you were in Mexico and you got a job with a company where they provided you with a uniform and an identity, it was it

was a big deal. And for me to have his card meant that I must be very important. I think that's all it was to it. I never had a hint that there was any actual drugs involved. But as far as why was I concerned, well, it was the eighties. The reason why I quit going there for work is I got a call from one of my contacts who was a dual citizen, and he said, Paul, where I'm moving my family up from Mexico. You need to know it's not safe

to go into Sina Loo anymore. And this was right after the enery K Camarina killing for the DEA agent. I believe he was, so you know, it was an edgy time and but you got free chicken tacosirs. I mean even when Denny's took him over, it was still good food. I don't even know if they still exist. I don't know, but I remember because I didn't know about him, and he has a kid grown up Wyoming

obviously. But when I got Southern California for for for college, I was introduced to Loco and in and Out Burgers, and I was in heaven. Man. But you went to school in southern California. Yeah, Santa Barbara, Oh wow, yeah, all right, Paul, I gotta go do this show. No, that's great. Like imagine the range of emotions, because you know, and people would go, well, you're profiling? Are

you eighties remote airstrip? Are you profiling? You see a dude with U just a ton of bunch of people rolling, rolling in a vehicle that would get stolen in most instances, but probably doesn't in this case. Remember they tried to napped George Norri down in Mexico when he went down to do an event in Mexico City. I only know this because he came. We did an event years ago in Greensboro. George Norri came here and so i'm i'm,

I'm I drive from Raleigh to Greensboro. And then Norri flies in literally get him at the airport, and we were both saying the same hotel for the event, and then all of a sudden it was that it was a giant snowstorm about seven years ago, maybe six seven years ago, and like we couldn't go anywhere and everything was closed, and so it's like George Norri and me and the hotel is full because there's power outages everywhere, so people

are moving over into there and it's just like so we had we had like a couple day and a half or whatever until he could finally get out of there, and he just telling me these stories like that. Ah, I tell you I was in Mexico and almost got kidnapped, you know, for the ransom kidnaps. So yeah, I mean remote Airstrip eighties, I too would be wondering. But free chicken Tacos is a hell of a final act,

all right. Seven sixteen k COOT Radio program Hang On, Thank You KSE is on ninety four to five w pt I on the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. You know, I get I get the frustration that people feel, and I understand too the motivation here a little, although I don't know. Yeah, I think you have to understate. We're very easy and I'm guilty of it sometimes of not just stopping for a moment to kind of look at it and analyze, right, because you have

an emotional reaction to stuff. And I feel like people are being a little unfair on this Kaitlin Clark stories. Do you know who Caitlyn Clark is? So Caitlin Clark is a female basketball player, and she played for Iowa and she was the best. And so now that she enters the w NBA draft, even if you don't care about w NBA, there is an expectation that she is probably going to be the most sought after recruit in in forever right And as a result, she's already got all these endorsement deals. And a

story broke that they were doing it. They're doing a breakfast cereal for her, and I don't know why the breakfast cereal is the gatekeeper, but people were getting like, Ah, you're not, Jordan, You're not. I think Mahomes has a breakfast cereal. Doesn't Josh Allen have one? Didn't Somebody send us a picture from the grocery store where they had all the Weans, that's right, and that was Wegmans in Bralligh. Those are the Josh Jacks.

Josh I think you go so anyway, so anyway. So they're giving her a breakfast cereal and people are all mad about it because oh they're doing it because they're well, I don't know about that. You have to understand that the person doing the company doing the cereal is high v. Do you know what hive is. It's a grocery store in Iowa and Minnesota. It's

a Midwestern grocery store. And in the same way that people go absolutely out of their gord if they're into college sports for you know, teams around here in Iowa. I'm saying this, and I don't mean to be in I'm not saying this to be an insensitive jerk. It's the reality on the ground. Having lived in the Midwest, less so in Minnesota, but very much so in Iowa and Nebraska and a handful of other places. Iowa Nebraska are the big ones. Do you know what happens when the team has a game?

Ross knows what happens. He lived in Omaha. He's seen this in action. Uh, Nebraska, I've lived in a lot of places, right, New Work, Yeah, on the coast eastern Carolina, Salt Lake. I lived in Georgia. Right, They're big Bulldog fans there. I've obviously lived here now for seventeen eighteen years. I'm well aware that people are very fanatical about their certain college teams, whether it be State, Duke or Carolina. I've never lived anywhere in wake Forest. I've never lived anywhere that is

so crazy about college football. Then Omaha, Nebraska and Lincoln. Yes, you've never seen anything like it. I remember driving around on a Saturday when I first got there, and I was pretty young. I was like twenty twenty one years old, and there was no one on the roads. The weather was beginning to stand right, there was there was no snow. It wasn't like the you know, typical Nebraska winter. It wasn't. It was fine road conditioned roads. There was no one on them. I went into

the supermarket. I can't remember what it was called at the time, but their version of food line or whatever. I walked in there and it was empty, and playing on the speakers in the grocery store was the Huskers game.

For the two schmucks who had to work, Yeah, yeah, and I went into another store, They're playing the game over the loudspeaker, and I every every girl that I dated there when I was at a relationship or when I would go over to a to a friend's house, the basement of the family home would be the colors of the Huskers and would be just that would be the theme of the room. Every I would say, Satan's look

like Satan. Yeah, yeah, red, white, and black, right, And I would say, uh, probably, like at least at least as a minimum, one out of every three homes their basement is just has a Husker theme to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I never seen anything like it. So the fact that she is she came out of Iowa, obviously, you see how it is there, and it's a regional grocery store that covers primarily Iowa. That I don't think that's I think

there's there's lots of woke and stupid nonsense to get to. I don't know if this is it. This is what I'm saying, because they get crazy. Did you didn't not? Did Nebraska just set the record for highest attendance in a volleyball game, right with the corn Huskers playing in the football stadium, and it was full. You know what the funny thing is, there's a stat which I'm sure it still holds, but I have looked this up. But I mean, like a decade ago, this was the this was

the stat at lest I'm pretty sure it would still hold. The most populated area in all of Nebraska on on game day is the stadium. There's a lot of people in the stadium right than like any given city in Nebraska. Yeah, Wyoming, Wyoming, same deal. The stadium, the stadium for the Cowboys is the largest city in in Nebraska, excuse me, in Wyoming during the game. Which that's that's crazy, man, But that's what it is. So yeah, I don't know about that. You want something to

be angry about, Look at what happened up in New York. Do you see what they're doing. Remember how we were promised that remote learning was this. They this They didn't want to do it, They never want to do it again. But these were such extreme conditions. They had no other choice. They had no other choice. And by the way, uh you know, they they'll even maybe even now finally admit that maybe it's not the best environment for your kid, or at the very least for a lot of kids.

I'm sure some kids maybe do better because people are different. But well, New York apparently they found another emergency reason and parents are absolutely losing their minds as they're doing remote learning for I guess one of the reasons that we failed to discuss the first time we discussed this. So I'll tell you what New York's up to coming up. Aco Day Radio program. This is one six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk NPTI Triad. Now,

Oh this is uh that looks awful. One of our one of our listeners from up were you in, sir you Jefferson West, Jefferson area up there? Well, anyway, just sent me a little video of the w Taga River and that thing's that thing? Was? That thing looked like the Colorado Man. Yeah, a lot of rain, depending on where you are, a lot a lot of rain. Continue to see stories from Charlotte. Also locally, Uh, storm damage, there's some I had a three minute power

outage. I guess I wasn't in my house when it happened, but I got the text from Duke. They're like, ah, there's a power outage, and then three minutes later like everything's fine. We fixed it, but I don't know because I was I wasn't there at the time. So but yeah, so we'll get we'll dive into that a little more. Coming up here in just about seven minutes, raced Agic from the Weather Channel. He'll join us, but first before we do that, we gotta get a double

dose as stupid. So well, why not Florida then Florida Man? Is something in the water they er or Sam that they should do all that crazy crap. It's like the state is wanta be dumb ass trapped. Nowhere else has the Florida Man. It is almost like as the weird factor climbs and you find out it haven't in Florida every time. Florida then Florida Man. If anyone can jeer me, if you know you can just mind life be crazy. But of course, but it's not. It's pad crap crazy as

yours. Nowhere else are you gonna find him? They're so used to it they don't find him. Hooray for Florida. Then Florida Man. In this case thirty eight year old Steve Nerdon. Where is this near tamp Yeah, Penelas County, so Tampa area. Please received a report of an assault in

progress. According to the victim, Nerdin became enraged after they had a disagreement during a an intimate moment catch my a drift, and apparently retrieved a weapon and started assaulting the woman, punching her in the left eye, also shoving the weapon in her mouth, attempting to choke her, and I guess split her lip trying to do it. So that's now, you goll casey,

why are you doing this story? That sounds horrible and it is horrible, right, But let me give you the context, not that it'll make it okay, but it will make it slightly more interesting. According to the report of give it the statement given by the victim, so she readily admits this

is what she said. It was around one in the morning. The two were getting to know each other in that most intimate of ways, and at some point things weren't going well, and she quote started laughing and suggested that he get ed medication, which is cold man right like so in this case, according to the victim, after she made this suggestion and laughed at him and also commented on specific ratings of what he's you get it right, The

report goes on to state that and went to a shelf behind some books and retrieved a giant pink adult item and that was what he beat her with and attempted to choke her with. And eventually he was arrested for domestic battery obviously first degree, and he's being held on bond there. But yeah, like none of that should have happened. But I'm also like, why would you

think that's a good I guess I don't know how drunk they were. It looks like there was a little bit of alcohol going on there, and dude had priors and she knew him, so like she knew what was that He's he's got some angry issues there. So anyway, there you go. That's that's Florida man doing his thing for the next Florida style story. Though, speaking of the Wataga River, I don't have to go far. We go to a Taga County is it crazy story? Apparently police police up in Boone

have we're arresting a woman. Here we go, the thirty two year old woman was arrested for an alleged assault. Let's see, I guess she got into a she got into a scrap down about down by the bars. That's weird how that happens. They're in Boone, they arrested for assault and according to the the Boone Police Department, she was placed in a squad car and then by the time they went to transport her, they looked back there and

she had chewed through the back seat like a like a squirrel man. She che The problem is, you can't it like the back seats in a squad car. I don't know exactly how they're built, but something tells me they don't have a pass through for obvious reasons. So I at that point, I guess, what are you just to? You just hit the metal of the trunk. She didn't get out, but she did get a head size

hole chewed into the back of the squad car. So yeah, she's facing not just obviously the assault charges, but you know then you get additional charges based on the incident. I'm not reading the last line of this story. I know this is what Ross is patiently waiting as he sees me going through this story and working down through the story. No, I'm just staring at you through the studio mont here. I'm fascinated by the story, are you yeah? Is that enough? Should I be done with the story or do

you want me to finish the story as it's written here. I mean, it depends do you want to be you know, do you want half asset or do you want to be you know one hundred so many people can trust. Yeah, well I've been. Now I'm having issues because I read this story yesterday when I sent it for prep and I don't remember this part. But allow me. The damage was discovered out of the suspect anyway, the

suspect was being processed. Quote, it's an unfortunate situation. I'm sure she regrets putting herself in that position where she's quote eating the back of a police car. Now that everything is calm. That according to Sergeant O'Neill, who said that standing atop the boone Big Beer, the triple be the boon, big beer, big beer, boon. Are you so she just wanted something to eat? Can you imagine if they were to put a Bucky's right at the base of the big boom beer, your boon, big beer, whatever

your fake thing is. You know, we were talking about the Husker Stadium, the most populated area in the state at that point in time. When you know the same thing South Carolina, the BUCkies. Well, anyway, we got stage at yet because we've got a lot to digest, so let me know if he's there. So some chick tried to eat her way out of a cop car, which you can't do. Just for future reference,

you're still on the BUCkies thing too, Huh. Well it's you know BUCkies were Do you understand the process they tried to get a because initially they wanted it, and the little snobs over in Chapel Hill they wouldn't let him put it over in their county because they're like, ew petroleum products, damn. And then they're like and then they went to a more reasonable group of individuals

in Alamance County, And now we're here and Sharky's is coming. So yeah, I couldn't get a mention, all right, man, So I'm looking I'm looking at So we got some spy videos and stuff coming in. Uh. The Wachaga River looks like the Colorado during the melt. That's crazy. I saw video of Charlotte of them having to rescue people because they were in a car and they're like, I can just hyder a plane across the top

of that puddle, no problem. You got to hit eighty eight folks, you gotta hit eighty eight miles an hour, and then you need one rock, You need one point twenty one jigawats and just remember, yeah, I mean rivers are high. And uh, that's why we say don't cross water covered roadways because six inches of water will knock you down. I don't know how much it is, it's more than six inches, but more than six

inches will carry your car away. And you know, looking at the river gauges to the north, the flat river below Lake Mitchie is just coming down from major flood stage and most of the Aria rivers now are at or below moderate to major flood stage one three four inches of rain. That was a range and even the severe weather. Don't have any confirmed tornado reports, but there were some tornado warnings yesterday and unfortunately in the state of fatality from severe

weather. The problem or the issue here now is that although I have a couple of dry days in the let's just say lower mid fifties, lows near freeze, there is more rain and thunder coming Friday into Friday night, Friday afternoon, Friday night, and I don't know how quickly these rivers are going to receid down below even minor or moderate flood stage because we may have more heavy rain, not as much as this event, but there's thunderstorms and there's

another slight to enhance the risk of severe weather. Again, the dynamics for severe are all the same wind profiles. There's sheer, not only speed heer, but directional shear. There's instability and cape convective available potential energy. I'd not to get into too many meteorological terms. I'm sorry. Well, yeah, I know I did that somewhere else today too, and they are kind of like what huh, what you need to know is that now I can't

even talk about it. There is a severe weather risky yeah, Friday. There's a heavy rain risk Friday. And I wouldn't be so animated about the flood risk if we didn't just get all this rain because the ground is going to be saturated. And then early next week now not at all clearing shelves yet although it's gonna happen. What are you doing? There's a chance. There's a chance, is all I'm saying. Some of us could see some

snowflakes sometime Monday night and Tuesday, especially early on Tuesday morning. Especially Wes, especially with elevation. But I will say this, there's our best shot so far this winter and the Triad and the Triangle. If you haven't seen any snow showers to potentially get snow showers, don't say it's gonna happen. I'm just saying it's our best shot so far this winter. So, but

we got to get through all this other garbage first. Yeah, all right, well, and you know that's a three day weekend coming up too for some folks with the MK. Yeah I'm here, I'm here Monday, here Monday or your I am not. Oh wow, look at that you have to do on Tuesday. You just said that there's potentially weather. I want to be safe, so I will not yet keep yourself safe. And we're at the five degrees A kickoff in Kansas City there Saturday night. There's so

ye that they're on Peacock So am I gonna borrow somebody's log? Why? Because you know the scam scam? Why do you want to watch the Chiefs game for Taylor Swift? Is that? What's up? No? I watch every game. That was not possible to watch every game because much from around at the same time and I don't believe you have seven TVs simultaneously going in your home. Well I have three, and with YouTube and the ticket you could put the four. They got a channel that it can show four,

so that's four eight. I could show twelve at one time if I if I had to, but I don't like the multi All right, mister conductivity or whatever here goodbye? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, raced agic there from the Weather channel. Flexing. Flexing is TV ross. How many simultaneous things could you call up at one time? Uh? Maybe like five, five or six? Yeah, I'm thinking I've got three TVs O I only ever used like two of them and an iPad laptop. Oh yeah, that we

could probably do nine or ten. Yeah, and I'm only have the one. You got the whole family package there, so look at that. Well all right, well we'll take a break. Seven coming up for some reason, we got to talk about reparations because there's some bill. And speaking of bills, oh, I gotta do the New York story. I'm sorry, I got sidetrial. Do the New York story. What the parents are mad

about up there? First? That and speaking of bills, with the state of California is not getting ready to do, because of course they are hang on for that ninety w PTI in the Triad and FM talked in the Triangle, all right, welcome back seven fifty four here on the KCO Gay Radio program. And oh boy, all right, let me uh, let me do the New York story because I got distracted by Ross inserting the boom big beer in there. So parents in New York City were informed that their child's

schools. And I'm trying to remember how many schools it is. I guess the main, the big one where they're doing this, the main one that's in the story is in Brooklyn. All right, so this is James Madison High School. Oh my gosh, how does that still name? James Madison High School? With all those in Brooklyn, with all those hipsters about. Well, anyway, but the high school would be going remote. So what do you think it was? The Maybe the heater went out, Maybe there's

a COVID localized COVID outbreak. No, Instead, the decision was made to return the students to remote learning so the school could be converted to housing for nearly two thousand migrants who had to be evacuated from the tent shelter that was that's out on where is it someone of the islands there is that Roosevelt Island, the one that's I'm not super familiar with all of it, the one that's not out by the Statue Liberty. But anyway, they'd set up that.

Essentially they use those there's a ton of fields there, like soccer fields, baseball fields, all of that, and they've been using that as essentially like a tent city. But with the storm coming, they had to do something, so they decided, hey, we'll just go remote with the kids. And now the high school is a migrant shelter. So again I told you this, with the with the remote learning stuff, you're going to be real surprised or maybe not surprised as there continues to be more and more super

emergent and see legitimate reasons, uh to go ahead and go remote. And we've seen suggestions for other stuff like you have. There's still i think teachers Union in California still once and they're still talking about I think doing like one or two days a week remote. I think they wanted Fridays to be a remote day and they're still talking about that, but they're talking about something else.

In California too California lawmakers. By the way, anytime you hear a story that starts with California lawmakers, you have to understand it's so one sided there that if a bill is coming up in the full California legislature, it's probably already you know, it's probably already going to pass because it's there is no there's no pushback, there's no competition, if you will, uh, for for what actually happens there. So I'm gonna go, I'm just going

to assume this is gonna come to come to pass. California lawmakers are getting ready to ban tackle football for kids. Now in this case, when I say kids, it would be kids twelve or under, so not all of them, although I'm sure eventually they'll get to the high schoolers and middle schoolers as well. Uh yeah, they got to go they're gonna band Now how

does that work? Is that? So like if me and my buddies are in a park playing tackle football because we're dumb, and you know, when we were kids started as flag or touch football, things got a little more grunt, like could you arrest us? I don't know how that works. But also I gotta think that there's gonna be a few less D one super prospects coming out of that state. Because yeah, and also, if you're going to teach kids, this is about the time they're learning to play organize

foot and you have options to not do tackle. But once you progress there, it's important you teach kids how to do it right. Get some skills, and that includes tackling people without snapping their neck or taking a penalty. Man. All right, good morning and happy middle of the week. Ain't good, it ain't bad, just it is what it is. Kc O

Day Radio program. Glad to have you along. I need to add one more thing to the that story of the high school up in New York where the decided, hey, you know what, I know, it's school supposed kids supposed to be in school today, but we're in remote learning because we're going to move two thousand of the the migrants into the school. This is

what kills me. Right. There isn't a city in the United States that has more resources available right just out of sheer size, population center, valuation, you know, of everything there, the amount of money I mean, la I guess could compete, but New York still beats them out. And even with all of those resources. Everything is like a panicked decision where they don't know what to do. Right. They're like, all right, let's take all our sports fields and now they're a camp. Let's let's take hotels

in Times Square and we'll convert those to migrant housing. Oh no, there's a bunch of problems and asks the one, so let's do that? What was the what was the other big one where you're just like, what are

you doing? And but I point this out because the numbers that New York seen, even though it is a lot by New York standards, pales in comparison to what communities in Texas and Arizona and even parts of California and especially small communities have dealt with for ever and especially now in in in a much more significant fashion. Like where was it Brownsville, Texas? Do you remember the video where they showed downtown Brownsville and the entirety of it looks like San

Francisco with but like one big homeless camp, just people camping there. That was it? That was that was like the totality of their business district just covered. Just trying to deal with the numbers. And remember we saw those numbers and like, you look at those numbers and you realize if you could fill four Michigan football stadiums with with the with the latest round of numbers in retrospect for twenty twenty three, it's just it's crazy, man. So now

they're going to do this. But I was slightly inaccurate. They're not doing remote learning in the sense that everybody's tuning in to the normal class and then there's the teacher on the other side. No, no, no. Instead, actually what they're doing is why can't I never remember the name of this. The students are being provided their assignments, which are available on this Google Docs thing that they I guess the school has that, you know, to

provide resources to the kids. And also during remote learn arning, Google Classrooms is what it's called. So students were sent a message instructing them to log into their Google Classrooms account, pick up the required assignments, and spend the day doing those assignments. And then at the bottom they write, teachers will be available via zoom if requested prior by email. Well what does that mean? So if a kid is doing their assignment today and they're stuck that it's

too late to request a teacher help them. What are the teacher are the teachers? Are the teachers there, like, I don't know, catering for the two thousand folks that were moved in there? The hell are they doing that? They can't just teach a class that they all learned how to do. So. No, they didn't just decide to go remote learning. They went that whatever that ross I can remember the name of it. What's the day where you were the teacher? Right? And you just they didn't need

I think those are called asynchronous days. Asynchronous that's the word I'm looking for. So they went they just they just pulled an asynchronous day. Yeah. Yeah, that's gonna irritate some parents for sure. All Right, I have a call here, Casey. What's up. Hey? I just had a question of comment. You're you're talking about emailing and stuff like that. I think what they meant is you email the teacher and then the teacher gets back to you on zoom after the email. But my question was how long did

they plan on having them in the school? Was it for the rest of the year, was it for the rest of the month. Was it just storm and then they're moving them back out? Well, here's the problem it. Initially it was explained that it's because of the storm. The problem is they hated over there. Uh. And there's a bunch of advocacy groups that because it's in it's temporary, it's like ten housing, they feel that it's

inhumane. So now activists are demand and they don't move, and a bunch of the migrants are not keen on going back to tent city Ireland Island, which I guess I would understand this time of the year a tent versus inside a physical building. But again, I'm just flummoxed at New York with all those buildings and all the resources and all the money and everything. I understand

things are cramped there, but just the sheer size of it. That two thousand is this overwhelming number, right, Like they have high schools with two thousand students in it, which is why they're housing them there. So well, we would agree that during a storm that would be a humanitarian issue, right, You don't want them hel in the storm, put them right, right, but put them in the Berkley Center, do you know what I'm saying? Right? Put them in you know, yeah, put them in

the arena. I mean I know that didn't work out great in Houston post Katrina. There were some issues, but I get it, and then that might be why they didn't do it because they saw how poorly that worked out well. But you can also you can also figure out how to police that right because there's gonna there's look, there's gonna be a heavy lift on the part of resources. You would agree to move two thousand people likely to be

regardless. Yeah, the resources are going to be an issue regardless of where you put them. So if it's not where we have people living in the super Dome for months and it's just going to be a day or two as as stated, then I don't understand why you couldn't utilize the uh, the arenas there go to Madison Square Garden, you know what I'm saying. And instead of instead of yeah, sure, pushing them out of this school. That's the part I can't wrap my head around. And I understand why parents

are mad. You're looking around at all these I'm a teacher, Casey, and I will say this remote learning, especially for if it's just a day or two, it's not that big of a process. Yes, you get assignments, teachers are available for a day or two if that's how long they plan on doing it. It's not a hard thing to do now, moving scheduling and stuff like that. For an arena where you're dealing with millions of dollars in contracts, that might be a little tougher than sending out a couple

of summons via Google classroom. That's the way I view that. All right, Well, I don't think every arena's got a Billy Joel concert today. I'm gonna meet you halfway because I think that here's where the frustration lies. It's not the idea that because like I mean, let's face, you're a teacher. You know how those days right ahead of a vacation or at the end of the year are right, like, there's not a ton of learning going on usually, and it so people people, we're back, we're back.

It's actually it's actually seconds messer for us. Well, no, no, no, I'm not saying in your individual I'm just saying in the generic sense me remembering my time as a school kid, Like you know, there's certain times of the year where there's not a lot going on, and if there is a day like you know where where it has to haven't fine, But The problem is is that people who would have been sympathetic to that, uh, they were lied to and they were gas lip about the idea that

there would be no learning loss for the kids. You know. That's and the beef isn't necessarily with the teachers, although it isn't Randy Weingarten and the teachers Union, but it's the idea that they were told one thing and then they were told not to believe it when their kid is struggling, that it's

anything but the kid's fault. That's what irritated so many people. Instead of being adults and saying, look, this isn't ideal and there's going to be problems, but we've had to weigh the problems and we feel this is the better solution. Instead they were told that they hate teachers and they hate so

well. And you're talking about learning loss over a year, year and a half period of two to maybe five days, but you understand which people are going to have a short loss, but then they are able to recover that very quickly when they get back with the teacher, some of them, some of them. That hasn't. That actually hasn't been the case among the younger

sets. We've seen now absolutely, Like I said, over a year and a half period, Yes, that is much harder to recover, and I agree with you there, but that was also a much different situation than housing people for a storm that's coming through and now is gone and then recover. But once you told a bunch of people that they're irrational and they're dumb, and that they are they don't know what's happening with their own kid, people

get a lot less reasonable to hear you out. You know what I'm saying, right, But I also don't think this has anything to do with the learning loss as much as it does immigration obviously, and that's another issue whenever you can't and when you can't even agree on simple legislation to alleviate that Republican or Democrat. Yeah, again, there's there's a there's a range of emotions here. But let's not pretend that that you know the previous, the previous

remote learning. Like if you hadn't done all that and you just told they were doing remote learning, I don't I think people would be like, well, let me see what that's about, because they didn't know. Well, now they know absolutely, But when you have to do it for a year and a half. Yes, it's not ideal. Nobody, nobody, even teachers, the people that came up with that, would have said, yes, we would rather do this than in person learning. No one ever except

for the Chicago teacher lady. She was like, yeah, let's do this all the time. That one lady, that one person lady, that teachers union got that the creepy look in Chicago mayor ousted, and then they got the uh, the insane guy in So it was they were pretty powerful. All right, I got a roll man, thank you very much for the

call. So yeah, that's that's what's going on up there. But yeah, I look again, if it was your first time hearing the words remote learning, like I think people would be all right, well let's see if this is just for a day. But now you've run into all these issues like are they going to what's going to happen if they don't want to go back there to the tent city? What are you? What are you going

to do? And then with all the crap that went down and all the bs the people were fed, they don't have the patience to hear you out when you're doing that stuff, and you think that's unreasonable or reasonable. That's fine, but I at least understand why people are just done quote listening to the experts and being told by their government better is what they're gonna do. That's that's there's there's there's a lot of fault here as to why we're here.

And it doesn't just live with parents who people think are being irrational over immigration stuff. There's a lot more. All right, eight eighteen Casey O Day Radio program. We can get some more calls if you like. We're gonna have to contextualize stuff. So you probably saw this story journalists joke about assassinating Trump a kinda kind of I but not really I know, I know, stupid me trying to actually you get some context here. Uh, we'll

explain it coming up next. Hang on, This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News. I almost forgot. I almost forgot because it was such a mystery. On the show, they outed Bob, remember just Bob from the Alaskan Airlines plugdor incident where they made painstaking points during the during the actual press conference by the NTSB to point out that the dude who founded his name is Bob. But we're not gonna tell you anymore. It's just Bob.

And immediately you're like that dude's got to be a witness protection what the hell's going on with that? Or he's gonna warrant? Well? Uh, the Oregon Public Broadcasting did a story and actually he talked to him, and I guess told me to use his real name. So his name is Bob Sour. He's a science teacher. And I'm not knocked on Bob because I now that we know, I don't think he's probably a former mind. I don't know. Maybe I don't know, maybe it was in the mob, but

like they're talking to him about it. And how would you describe if you were being interviewed on the news and a an airline plane door fell, you know, twenty thousand feet and stuck into your yard like a you know, like a toss volcanic rock. Right, this just bladed into your grass, which is what happened. How would that interview go? You'd be like, oh my gosh, right, you'd be It would be very excitable. It would be somewhat irrational because you're like, oh my go, had I been

checking my mail, I would have been cutting half. This is crazy. Not Bob Man Bob starts, Oh, Bob got real nerdy on this thing real quick. And let's see. So Bob says he didn't touch it for fear of destroying evidence, but he was intrigued to see the door's serial number,

another manufacturing details. And then he goes on in this interview to talk about the interest level in the research he's been doing on like the you know, to figure out what it was and everything's there, and I, okay, all right, I kind of get that, but then he just keeps telling the reporter about it. He goes, I was doing some ready, I was doing research and I was able to determine that the door was actually

manufactured in Malaysia and tracked it back. It's the nerdiest interview I've ever seen. Obviously, I'm not gonna not gonna hit all of it. But yeah, so Bob's out. We know who Bob is. Now, okay, all right, very good, just following up, just following up, all right, I'll see, Paul, what's going on? Oh wait, I'm sorry that we had some people they formed a committee to deport you. You know this right? Oh yeah, I heard them about that, but I

didn't say I don't like North Carolina barbecue. But the bucket stuff's real good. Now, what I'm calling about was illegal immigrants displacing the school kids. I've been in this country fourteen years. I think it's a great place. Everything about America being exceptional is true, all that sort of stuff. But ninety percent the same here in Australia and Australia five percent there's better. Five percent here is better. The five percent that's there. Better. Part of

that is the immigration laws. When an illegal immigrant is identified at the border, they are put in an internment camp until their documentation that bona fides are proven, so we know whether or not we want to integrate these people into our society. We don't have no people released into our society with the hope of kicking them out and finding out. Can I be fair? Can I be fair? It's really hard to walk to Australia, so it is.

You would believe you wouldn't. There's a certain time of year, about four or five months of the year when the weather is really good on the northern coast and we basically called the refugee regatta. Yeah, from Papua New Guinea in this area. Yeah, about I have another Australian buddy used to live up there was telling me about that, tell me some other stuff too, But I appreciate the call. I gotta go to break from Man Your Day Smarter one o six one FM Talk and News Talk n w PTI more with

Casey starts now. All right, good good morning to you. It is eight thirty six, uh. Yesterday a driver was taken into custody. This was right around six o'clock last night after crashing into the White House gates, which is such a popular activity that I would point out if you haven't been to DC in a while, getting to the gates in a vehicle is not supposed to be something you can do. They have there's Secret Service. They

have like a block perimeter around the White House. It's been that way for a while, and in fact they even have those They utilize those what do they call the ballards or whatever, the you know, the concrete pillars that come up or metal pillars that come up rise out of the ground. They actually use that to So I guess my question would be how how did how did they get through these these you know, mobilize vehicle devices and around Secret

Service, so they could crash into the White House gate. That's what's weird. Man driver taking into custody and investigating the cause and manner of the collision. Let's see here, and then I'm looking at the NBC news story. I don't even think they point this out. They should know their office. They're broadcast facilities where I did the radio row from and it's got like CNN and a bunch in there, and it's literally like it's just a couple of

blocks, so you would think they'd see it. Here we go. The White House fence has been updated in recent years, including making it taller. In twenty twenty one, they build a thirteen foot fence with wider, stronger posts. And it was and then now we have this this security perimeter. You can still walk up. You still walk up there to the gates, but you're not gonna be able to drive. And there's and it was really kind of limited where you could drive anyway. But yeah, you can't do

that no more. Did I And I'm and I'm I'm trying. This is from WSOC AM I reading this right. So among the individuals who needed assistance during the flooding in Charlotte was a woman who it sounds like she crawled, or she like tried to shimmy down somewhere so she'd get a better view of a porta potty floating by on the on the on the street or river or whatever so she could film it. And then she couldn't get up because you know it's wet rocks or so. I don't know, she's fine, but

what are you doing? I just don't understand these people where like their first reaction to everything right is to whip out the phone and record it and put it online. My I could be driving home today out of nowhere, like I'm just saying, I'm on Atlantic, I'm out of red light, and suddenly my car is surrounded by moose. Well, well, no, I would be insane because moose, aren't you know? They don't right, nothing but moosing everywhere. As we learned, yes, I I would not take

out my phone phone and film it. I wouldn't even consider it. And this drives Marquee, my wife, insane, because like things will happen and she's like, why didn't you record it? And I'm like, I didn't even think about it, Like I just don't even think of but you got these people and instead of immediately stopping to assess their situation or look at their

surroundings, or see if they're safe of their potential for danger. The first instinct, the very first instinct, is to whip out the phone and try to post on social media for your dopamine hits. It's nuts. Now, would I stare at a at a porta potty floating down the street from if I'm in a safe place? Yeah? Right, because you don't see that every day, but you have, Russ. Tell me if you think that this is my theory on what she thought she was gonna get. You know

that meme with the dumpster on fire, right right? I think she saw that and what I'm gonna have. I'm gonna have the new better version of that. I was gonna get someone to add flames. That's my theory. I think I'm right. I know I'm right. Yeah, that's not a theory. That's exactly what happened. Yeah, I'm gonna make this new moose.

Yeah dude, you got are they climbing? Listen? I might consider it like an hour in if I was surrounded by the most in an hour, I think my brain would finally click and I'd be like I should probably film this for the website or whatever. It's it's a deficit I have. I understand my weaknesses. And the thing is, there's so many times that things happen or I see things and I just don't think about filming it. I just don't because you and I don't do We don't do a lot of

videos, pictures, stuff like that. I do very occasional stuff, but like everything, if you go into my photo gallery, do you know what ninety percent of it is screenshots, screenshots or memes. Yeah, screenshots and memes. That's it. Baby. And meanwhile, like Marky, she has photos of everything and videos of every family event. And I'm thankful she does because I was doing it yesterday. I was going back and looking back at some videos and I thought to myself, I'm so thankful my wife took a

video of this. But I would have never thought of it. And maybe you know, there's a seven year age difference between Markey and I. There's a gen X and a millennial thing there. That's probably the difference. Well, I just do not think of filming in these events that happen when I see it that I just don't think of it, justn't. Yeah, maybe you know, I'm at a concert. I don't think of filming the concert. I sit back and I enjoy the concert, and I take in the

moment. Oh, the concert thing is just but the same thing when I see things. I sit back and I take in the moment. Right, But if you went, Let's say you went to a Taylor Swift concert, okay, because that's you know, that's a big thing right now. Not that you would, right because I'm suicidal and I'm trying to send the world a message. Yeah sign all right, But anyway, let's say you went and he wanted to be there, Like, it's not surprising that you saw

Taylor Swift in your scenario. You're in you're in Raleigh city limits, and you've been surrounded by eight moose or moosin like, that's that's on a different level right there. But you know it's people like you and me why we don't have clear bigfoot footage. Same thing. So, but I'm saying I would put my safety first, and I would try to consider, you know,

I would assess my situation and look at my surroundings. So if I'm at that fictional Taylor Swift concert and something crazy happens, Rozelle Ghoul sends out the ninjas from the Leagues of Shadowskay, I wouldn't film it. I'd be like, I'm going to you can't because you can't see them on film they're

ninjas. No, I would assess the situation. I would see if I was in danger and try to get away, I ran film and you would have some jackass idiot in the front row filming it, going look at the ninshows on the slip stander Taylor Swift, and then you're a headline idiot dies by ninja Taylor Swift concert. Well, this happens all the unknown idiot dies and then the video which has been uploading the clouds beyond there and it would

look like that video of the Miami Mall aliens g liars. There's no didjas. This guy's just dub all right, So don't film floating porta pot. I didn't. I didn't realize we had to put a restriction on this. That's it. Yeah, that's why you come to the show. Advice people, absolute wonderful advice. Now, if the same scenario with the moose was that they were climate protesting moose and they were gluing you know, gluing their

hoofs to stuff. I would film that because I'd be just like so annoyed with all of it, because all of those glue themselves and block traffic. People annoy me. It would just be refreshing to have another species. And by the way, eight don't want you to go somewhere, You're not going there. You don't realize how big a moose is until you're near a moose. It's intimidatingly Okay, yeah, it's like you're surrounded by like seven or eight like Josh Allen's, You're like, there's nothing I can do. Now,

there's nothing I can do. Do this thing. Josh Allen wouldn't even reach the paddles on a couple of the moose that I've been around. It's crazy. It's intimidating man, especially young in earlier in the year. Earlier in the year, if you see a bunch of young, young male moose, and like, you know, if you're up in the mountains like in Wyoming or wherever where they have a lot of moose and you come across them pre rut or just on the cusp of it, stay the hell away.

You don't want anything to do with a bunch of juvenile just getting into the rut moose they are they see something, They're just like, let's go, let's go stomp the crap out of that. And they did. They had some dude. They took some dudes jeep apart. When I was a he was up in one of the parks. He saw a bunch of moose and he gets out and they charged him. Immediately he was able to get in the jeep. They beat this thing and it looked like it was in a

rollover accident. So to Ross's point, yeah, you're in danger. You need to get away and not be filming stuff. All right, seven forty four, here on the CaCO Day radio program, John, What's up? Yeah, man, there was a two calls before I think there was a guy being very disingenuine about kids missing school and going remote days. I don't know what that guy was on. Maybe it was on some super political like

I got to believe this juice. But the reality is that I'm from Robinson County and I was teaching North Carolina history at the moment COVID came, and we had just experienced Matthew and Florence, and I told my kids, because we will not be back in two weeks. You'll be lucky to see me

next year. And they said, what do you mean, I goes well with all this political change happening, because it was like it was still like four years into Trump and all that craziness, and then with the me too and Black Lives Matter riots in the street, and I was like, we won't be back, like we can't even decide whether or not we can talk about where this thing came from, COVID came from. And so now if I had the kids who I haven't seen in three years that see me on

the streets, they were like, we miss your class. Not because we just miss you, but we didn't realize how hard it was going to be in the real world because they're now graduated and trying to get into college and some of them can't make it. Yeah, and so to say that two and three days out of school going remote because of a storm can't lead to something else is ridiculous. We were out of school four days before we got a message that is going to be a month, and at that point it

was the end of the school year. It was just ridiculous. Man, I recognize a year and a half and in one or two days is different. But it's you recognize, it's the totality of it, and it's the fool me once idea I think drives a lot of people there. Well, I appreciate it. John. I can't imagine being a history teacher nowadays because I love I love history sometimes, but like when you see stuff like sixteen nineteen project coming down and oh you know, oh all right, real quick,

real quick. I was told that I should and I quote, glance over the Holocaust in the Civil War and squeeze in BLM and prior history. I was like, you got to be kidding me. Glance over it. There's a reason. There's a reason, like well like half of the students that younger students don't even they don't know about the Holocaust, and this is

how we get here. So I'm like, yeah, why do we glance over twelve million people just getting dusted all to earth like it's nothing like, well it was wild they got they got, uh, you gotta you gotta make some flags and stuff. So all right, I gotta I gotta go John very late for the weather raced Agic Weather Channel. What's going on, sir? In case we are winding down now this latest round of rain and wind. More coming, however, really don't really like to be the bear

of bad news. But more rain and thunderstorms and severe weather enhanced risk for most of the eastern part of the state to gain Friday Friday night early until then a lot of sun, some clouds today, still gusty wins and close to fifty mid fifties. Tomorrow loads will be near freezing, so chilly mornings, and then the rain chance ramps up Friday early, especially tried in points

west. There could be a little wet snow in the onset. But then as the PRESP spreads through Friday afternoon and Friday night, rain and thunderstorms, probably ending around midnight or just thereafter, and again severe weather as possible with all the elements, wind, hail and even tornadoes. Sun near or close

to fifty over the weekend, I guess that means the same thing. And then MLK day Monday, cloudy with a chance of rain Monday night to Tuesday, maybe some snow for some of us, so I have to keep it eye on that very closely. I will go clear on shelves yet case, but maybe a little bit colder air, especially early on Tuesday. All right, thank you, sir. We'll come back with Jeff Bellonzer. Next hang on the idea is eight fifty three. Your Bloomberg update now, Jeff Belser.

What's happening out morning? Casey got confirmation of a big tech deal after the markets closed yesterday, Hewlett Packard Enterprise buying Juniper Networks. This is a deal worth fourteen billion dollars hpees. Chief executive says the company's networking business will double in size once this deal closes. There are some concerns today about the strength of the security measures used by X and the social platforms reliable as reliability

as a source of information. The Securities and Exchange Commission says its account on X was hacked and the posting led to a spike in the price of bitcoin. This is considered to be among the most consequential breaches in years. Salary increases will be elevated post pandemic, but this year's raises won't be as generous as last year's. Willis Towers Watson says American employers are budgeting for four percent

races. Pay hikes average four point four percent in twenty twenty three, but the average was around three percent in the years leading up to the pandemic. Tesla's revamped Model three sedan now available in North America. Consumers have been waiting for that announcement. The electric vehicle has been on the market in China and Europe for a number of months now, and robocall volume in the USKC increased nine percent last year. According to a U mail index, more than fifty

five billion of the calls replaced in twenty twenty three. The number of robocalls fell significantly in December, and while that sounds encouraging, the CEO of you Mail says, a drop office typical in December because the bad guys go on vacation just like everybody else. Yeah, but they do it with our money. So there's you know that. That's right. Yeah, all right, Jeff, appreciate it. Thank you very much, sir. Okay, you have a good day. All right, there you go. Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg

News on the phone. Today's that he's at home hiding from the storm too. So a lot of a lot of a lot of kids are today. They're out, and there's lots of business closures, although less so here probably than in Charlotte, but so be it. All right, a couple of things for before we bug out of here. There's yesterday these headlines all about about some journalists we're joking about assassinating Trump. It's kind of hard to hear. Let me play it for you. Hold on, let me let me

barther. Why am I not hearing that? Is that channel jacked? Oh? That's great? All right? Ross my button bars? There we go. Okay. You know the worst part is he's hanging out of it. It be on the other side. I mean, if he's driving, you've got a good shad. He's driving with the front window. Now, I'll just to be clear these are videographers or the or at least one of them is, because what they're talking and what they start talking about is they're talking

about a camera shot and it's abundantly clear. Yet Yeah, I wasn't thinking about that. Yeah, Like if you just pulls up like JFK, I don't like a jam, and then you hear somebody kind of and then he makes a JFK joke and then they joke about, hey, mister president, why don't you take a convertible today? It's nice though, all right, are they, because again I try to rationalize this stuff because everyone just freaks out on the internet. Do you feel that those two individuals, in some

way, shape or form are are I don't know. Maybe maybe politically they they wouldn't mind it, but it sounds like they're joking. Even if it's dumb, it's just dark humor. I saw it, and by the way, I saw somebody also come at that point and they were just getting eviscerated. But I don't care because, like I understand that, you know, Sarah Palin couldn't put targets over districts without people freaking out. But I'm not

going to join that party. By the way, you know Shane Ross, you know Shane Gillis is the comedian Shane Gillis almost on SNL and then like a tweet emerged. He's hilarious. He does a whole bit about the UH and I'll be very clear, so he his joke is that the funniest president, the funniest presidential assassination would be Trump, and everybody cringes in it. But his joke is that, you know, Trump would just be talking to the dude while, you know, while some guy's rolling up you're a loser,

You're and he does a very good Trump impression. He then goes on to point out that Biden would be the first president you could punch assassinate, which is very funny, right, So, like, but I don't think Shane Gillis wants to do anything. But I don't know Shane Gillis. So I just know that I laughed a lot at the punches fast oh man. All right, anyway, we got a roll on probably going to jail,
