Wednesday-1-17-2024

All right, good morning everybody, and happy end of the world. Ice frozen like that? What was the movie where everyone was snap freezing? And then they're like, this is the least technically accurate science fiction movie ever. The end of Something right was that the day after Tomorrow, Day after Tomorrow. Yeah, and then some guys like hold my beer and wrote the core, So which has to win, as we've mentioned before, but is close maybe, I guess. I don't know. I have some questions. I'm

going to I'm gonna take some grief for this. I always do because people are like, they're serious when they go the kids, like in the sarcastic way that Ross and I do, because we're also concerned about the kids. Ross has a kid, so like skin in the game. But also, I'm not a monster, and I want kids to develop skills that later in life allow them to survive like functional adults and not be giant moonbats. But

I'll just I'll go for functionality. So with that in mind, are there schools on delay because it's chilly out, somebody's gonna get mad, right, They're gonna call, They're gonna explain that the specifics of it. Are there schools on delay because it's because that's what it says here. Yeah, we got the notification last night. Markey and I are both leg you know, my market my wife. We were like what are you? What is going on here? Like why? And she's not from a cold weather place,

right, She's from Tennessee and Georgia. Okay, well some parts of Tennessee get little chili sho I don't know. But but still are they afraid the pipes and the bus are gonna burst and cover the kids? And anti freeze? Is that what you want? No, obviously there's a blizzard. So what time is the blizzard? Do you have? I don't have that. And when I gotta talk to Ray, did you did you see anything this

morning? Ross was that you were in here earlier doing stuff. So I've been looking at my weather app there and I don't see any even a chance of snow here. He his weather app by the way, there it is. Yeah, the weather window looks clear. Yeah yeah, trees, Yeah, you can see trees. That's a good indicator you're not in a white out blizzard. There's a there's a Wyoming Prairie pro tip for you, and you know how far it is on the Wyoming prairie between trees sometimes. So

I was smart enough to grow up in the mountain area. All right, So that's the thing. But it's not a thing everywhere, but it's still a thing. I anything to be safe for the children, they should they should make it an a synchronous day. Yes, so just for the safety of the children. Well, but remember that was only that's only uh, that was for that was temporary. Remember it's for the crisis. This is an emergency, so weather emergency. Yeah, the trees, they're right there?

Is it? Like? Did I step outside this morning and go right? Yes? Did I grow up being in insanely cold conditions? Yes, but I still went h when I went when I went outside, there's the main main difference today as opposed to other days. Yeah, So typically I put on my very lightweight and zip up sort of mister Rogers jacket. Remember when he would get in the house and he'd put on the the other one, like the small rock. Yes, like that twa switch. Yeah.

I typically wear a blue or red one. Right. Yeah, today I brought in very heavy hoodie. That's the main difference, because I was like, oh my god, it's cold, gonna put us I a little heavier and that was fine, all right, it didn't die. How why do you want to why do you want to start the day off lion to people? Why you always gotta be lying? He's wearing Stefan Diggs sweater right now.

It's it's a thing, you know, you this sucks about that because I saw the big poofy, weird sweater right and they're like, oh, this is comfy mood. He's in comfy mode, and I I'd like my head tucked. Yeah, but it was weird because like the sleeves were like extra poofy or whatever. Like the boie was like really weird. But my first reaction was I wanted to make like a Cosby sweater joke, and I can't make a Cosby sweater joke anymore because Bill Cosby. Yeah, I was

gonna go with I pop eye sweater. I thought that was accurate because to your point, the forearms, yeah yeah. And don't get me wrong, Stefan Diggs is cut right the professional football player. But that's too roomy. It's too roomy. And as as a citizenry, who you know really was weaned on the stylistic choices of Cam Newton, right, It takes a lot for somebody in North Carolina to look at a professional football player's outfit and go,

what the hell is that? I felt like he was walking in what is that big fancy thing they do in New York where they all dress up stupid, like the met Gala is? Yeah, the met gal He's walking to the met Gala with a big stupid poofy sweater, look like a Third World flag? Yeah? Yeah, because somebody's always got to do something crazy? Was it? Do you blame Cam Newton for this? Is this like an escalation and e evolution of it? I I don't know, man,

I don't know. It's not just Cam Newton. Where else did I see that dresses? Go? Was it Joe Burrow or somebody who's just like, I'm like, that's not what I expected you to be wearing. Yeah, And they always like, oh, he's got I'm like, he looks cringe, dude, he's got drips. They say that always that they said, I've never heard that said that he's got dripped or did a Joe that means you're dripping money? Right, Joe Namas start that with the big member he

wore, Like the what is it like the mink coat or whatever. Well he did, and then he called a super Bowl and then he tried to hook up with Susie Coolber live on the air. But you know he's got drip. What do you got? What are you gonna do? Man? So all right, well that's uh that, that's that in a nutshell, but he did. That's a thing. Yeah, I mean I get Rick Flair gets a pass because of the what it is, right, the NFL is not your your your your Your place in the NFL is not in part

dictated by the flashiness. You're willing to achieve it when you're not wearing your norse normal work gear, do you know what I mean? So you know Rick Flair's in the in the ring right then he's you know, he's wearing standard wrestling garb eventually, but you know when he's just out talking trash, talking about having to beat the man and stuff like like hit, the more

Foedora he is, the more appropriate because it's also a work outfit. I am literally staring at a Rick Flair cardboard cutout in my studio, yes, and I mean I see nothing inappropriate with what he's wearing. Well, so you're trying to yeah, it's nothing wrong. It's trying to get you to gamble and see that it's for the lottery. But all right, whatever, So happy Wednesday, your children, children won't freeze. Now. All you

gotta do is teach him yourself. Six fifteen hang on smart talk all day ninety four five w PTI and the Triad and one six one FM talk in the Triangle and it's it's right in the middle of the city, right right in like the downtown, like Central Park. And then what interrupts what every ninety minutes when you get a tour of the facilities there, the cola plant. Yeah, yeah, that's amazing. How did how did? I can't

He's from Malaysia somewhere else. I'm trying to figure out how some dude on Twitter who lives in Malaysia became a thought leader and he's Malaysian, right, He's not just it's just a guy who works over at the at the embassy or something. Right, Hey, how he became a thought leader in American politics? That Miles Chong dude. But I don't know, man, Like I've seen some stuff recently where I just kind of scanned past his stuff. So yesterday he was baffled by how soda works. Yeah, it's Ian mouths

Chong. If if you're on Guess you know who he is. You see him all the time. Oh, turn that off. That's one of his

videos playing is looking for the actual U? Yeah, talking about so like he posted a video it was like, did you guys know this is how the soda machines work when you go to a restaurant and it shot it's a video showing the behind of a soda machine and how it's carbonated water and syrup, right, which I am well aware of because I worked at a movie theater and I had to redo that stuff and it was a pain in the ends of the box. You got a box and a bag of syrup in

the box and it's it's it never really seated correctly. This guy was completely dumbfounded Ian mouth Chong about That's how he was like, did you know that when you get him drink at a restaurant, it's actually not like the drink behind there, like there's a big vat of cold you know what I mean. No, it's the sen it's the Coca cola well, right, which you have in downtown Atlanta. It's right there outside the factory. Yeah.

Fun fact. Do you know how they discovered how it how it first bubble and crude came up or in this case Coca Cola tell me random, uh when remember when Sherman burned it to the ground. Yeah, well they also, you know, build it in set up camp and said they were pounding intent spikes like bubble up. It just starts bubbling. Then all of a sudden, it just starts spraying Coca Cola. Ever, that's just like there will be blood. It's like so that. But people in the comments here

on X were completely I've never seen him ratio like this before. Everyone was like, did you never work when you were a tea? It's a common knowledge, right, Isn't it worked in a movie theater? I knew that. And everybody's like, anybody with any fast food experience that worked in their teens probably knows what's behind that soda machine. And he's like, oh no, my first job I worked at a computer store. I've never worked in that. I don't care. I don't care. That's not that's not an

excuse. I knew before I ever had to deal with one. And you know how I find out. I found out too Ross I worked, I knew, but uh, where I actually had to do it is I worked at our little movie theater for a little while, but the guy was super scatchy owned it and he just kind of wouldn't pay us, and they tried to pay us in movies, which works for a while and then you're out. So wait, wait is this a true story? That's true story? Yeah? Wow, yeah, because like you know, he thought I could

open a big theater in this little town that cash flow. Yeah. No, I did the same thing, and it was a great job when you're like sixteen fifteen, you know what I mean. It's like free movies. Now. That's how Coca Cola was founded. If you remember, down in Newbern, they were shooting at some food, right, and and that's how the pepsi squirrels. Yeah, just trying to survive, man. Yeah,

it came out just hard scrabble like Joe Biden back in the day. Man, just you know, just trying to get by crazy world and shooting at some food and then boom, there you got pepsi. So okay, all right, these are the people I told you, These are the folks. I'm sorry. And this look, there's stuff that I somebody explained something to me and that I feel dumb, like it happens, but it's much more

obscure. Right then, how does sodo work? You catch me on something, it's probably gonna be something a little weird, right right, Like I didn't know that, I really didn't. But also why the hell would I in this case? It's like your kids aren't gonna melt when it's twenty or or the opposite of it. And uh, soda is syrup. It's a funny people in the comments where like you do understand that soda is just carbonated water and syrup, right, like, that's that's what do you think it?

Like you said, do you think it just bubbles up out of the ground And you're like, I'm gonna bottle this stuff? Yeah? Well, hey man, the caramel gold hey, you know the the Coca Cola folk, that's a lot of money, made a lot of money. Now, RC Cola, that was probably some sort of sewer accident. I'm not really I start, did you like RC I did? Dude, I'm gonna irritate some people. I just do. It just tasted like flat soda to me. Now, the first time I had it was like this is the best

coal I've ever had. Yeah, and I didn't have it until I was like twenty eight, twenty nine, Like I never had it before. Mark, He's like, you got don't remember ever seeing it in New York. Maybe that's I should have waited because it is less sweet. Yeah, I think that's what it was. I think it was an age thing because he knows to get older, like you're you're buds change or whatever. Okay, all right, I don't know, ah it is. It is just one of the it's one of those weird days. Man. He might even he

might have deleted the damn thing, which I guess I wouldn't. I wouldn't be surprised. But the other side is the other side is like he's getting engagement and that's what counts. And you know the Bazooka Joe sweater. Is that what they were calling Diggs's sweater? If they weren't, they should, Oh he's a lo lo Look he lived in Minnesota too long, man, And the interest is just staying warm. The the stuff that people wear is pretty amazing. All right, hold on, hold on, hold on,

here we go. Oh all right, Jim, what's going on? Hey? How you doing Jason, I'm doing, sir. The reason I called you is UH had a little bit of light on the bus situation or the school situation. I should say it's probably more to do. I used to work for Almansbor Lincoln school Systems as a driver, and UH, each school has its own set of buses. There's no mechanics there, so each driver

comes in, they start their bus. And unlike other states in other areas where they have big companies like First Junion or First Students or other companies, they're all privately owned by the by the school themselves basically, so if the buses don't start, buses not start, Sir. I've I've started diesel engines every day in the worst conditions you could ever think of when I was growing up. It's just because now I'm going to tell you that there are many

of them that are going to start with no trouble at all. But all it takes is like one or two of them to not run. And it's I think the cascading effect that that will affect the whole school, that you'll have kids coming to school an hour late. I don't think I understand. I understand some of that, but I and and and I appreciate. I'm sorry. I'm not pushing back on you. But when they usually try to explain this, they give you the well, we don't want the kids at

the bus stop in the dark. And it's like, well, then, yeah, it didn't start starts school, then just make nine o'clock when school starts. This is not that hard. Well, like you, I come from the North. I grew up in Connecticut, and I'm a loot quite a bit older than you. And you know I went to school when it was twenty degrees. I walked there, you know, so you know the old joke goes you you walk both ways from phil Oh, look guy, you did you? Jim? I got to go to break come up against

it. I know, I look understand that there could be some, but it's they're diesel engines and that's not they'd say, it's because they don't want them there. And it's like, well it winners every year, and so is the Dark thank you. Casey is on PTI and the Triad and Talk and the Triangle. No, it's game on, man. They're putting they're

putting the US military on notice. So following obviously some some pretty high profile exchanges and stories, including what some have described as indiscriminate bombings of innocent civilians.

The the Hooti rebels have now been going, you know, back and forth obviously with the US military, and some would argue that from a naval perspective, they have a little bit of an advantage there, and that's evidence by they fire crappy missiles that kind of almost maybe one time hit some stuff and then we just like some dude at one of the piloting centers, the drone piloting centers out in like Vegas or whatever, you know, he just

hits the red button or whatever, and then that's that. But now the Houthi rebels have now they have deployed their entire air force to help provide ground troops or freedom fighters whatever the hell they think they are air support. And so this thing's escalating. Man. I mean, it's easy to sit there and go, I'm sorry, the Houti what right? Like I get that ross much like Miles Chong didn't know where they came from. Yeah, no, so I should probably retweet that his original tweet too. I'm doing it

this very moment. Hold on, yeah, in a real time, I'm gonna hear it retweet boom the repost button. No so up. Till like a few weeks ago, I had never even heard of a Houthie. I'm like, man, they really like HOODI and Yemen or something. He's like, really big me there behind the times. No it's not Darius Rucker. And I'm like, oh man, you thought Darius Rucker was trying to kill soldiers. I'm like, what is now? I'm like the big fan of HOODI over there, but I'm like, it's a Hoothi and I this is

so. The news is breaking, and all my brain is saying and processing is saying, another dumb group of idiots is attacking us and they're gonna get

their ass kicked. I don't care enough to even look into it. I'm just like, Okay, it's some stupid over there that's attacking us because they're dumb, and now we're gonna blow them to smithereens and good Have you ever seen the totality of events that transpired in like six hours when we didn't mean to quite be that much of a jerk but ended up taking half of Iran's navy out, and a lot of it was just weird, like where it

never had to happen. Right, they were targeting, they went, they were going, they had mined an area, right, they had put these mines everywhere, and and so they're like, all right, and then one of our ships hit one of those mines, and and by the way, made it and made it hit them the there's no bottom part of the ship, and through the quick action of our you know, our navy, these guys got that thing, you know, patched up whatever. Meanwhile, they're

like, all right, well, we have to be proportional. The problem was every time they went to do something proportional, these guys would do something insanely stupid, where you know, some guy in an a ten could just well probably not a ten then, but uh, you know, he's like, I have no choice but to fire a missile into you. I can't and I don't want to write. So that's exactly my processing on this story.

It's another group of people who hate us because we are who we are, and we're gonna have to crush them because they're being idiots Like this is how I imagine a playing out right, And I, like I said, I have not researched the story because to me, it's just another group of idiots who hate us for some reason. Yeah, okay, fair play to

you. Now we will decimate you. So I imagine they're sitting there and they're like, hey, we're gonna shoot rockets at you, and us, being the United States and our big ships, were like, yeah, you really shouldn't do that. No, we're gonna do it. Yeah, we're gonna do it. We're like, you, you shouldn't do that. It's exactly the Iran thing. Don't do it. And they're like, no, we're really gonna do it. We're like, don't do it. And then they do it, and they're like we're like, hey, don't do that

again. Don't It's like you're you're head, you're dealing It's like you're dealing with a child, right, You're like, don't do that again. If you do that again, you're gonna be in trouble. And they're like, aha, that to America. Yeah, and they send another bomb over and they we're like okay, and we just we just vaporize you off the map. We went then, and then the media is like, how dare the United States? Yes, these these good people, these uh what are they?

What are they? These fans of nineties pop, right, he's innocent. Fans of Darius Rucker. You know, the Dolphins make me cry too, you know what I mean? They make me cry. It is like a time the Dolphins. The I can't believe that. So did I like me not even researching this story, just like glancing my Twitter timeline. Did I nail it? Yeah, that's exactly what happened right now. It's like, yo, it's not just a missile, it's the totality of the HOUTHI

rebel air force is now set to be unleashed. I really fear your hot air balloons or whatever. You No, they don't have a balloon. We're going to shoot our laser focused giant lawn dart at your ear balloon and take out your entire air force. I'm not concerned. No, we're talking jet You know technology, man, it's no, they have they have to you know, they have some technology could be dangerous they have They have a one F five, They have an F five one. They have one and by

the way, you see how low that number is. The series like the it's there's a reason like all of our stuff, Like what do you think of badass air? Air superiority in the US in the US Air Force and Navy, like, we don't have single numbers. I mean maybe we do. But the badass stuff like what is it a ten ward hog? Right? F sixteen, F fourteen? This is this? They have an F five right. This is the stuff that we know of that we have.

I don't eve want to think about the stuff that's classified at the moment. Right. Remember when like the when it was it, what's that? What's the the SR seventy one? Yes, before that was declassified and people knew it was the thing. People would like they were like making like UFO sightings. I saw some crazy the sky doesn't look like an airplane. It was

going super That's the UFO. The stuff we have to have now has to be so above that, like want to and they're like, oh, we're gonna tack you with their F five hot air balloon or whatever they have. Okay, don't care. What's your name again? Who oh man? How do you flex with that? Because they are they're like, aha, watch out, what what what? I'm sorry, I'm not dude. You remember when Rambo took that that giant helicopter out with a rock with a rock bro,

Yeah, Like that's what kills this thing too? Right? It could be a rock, It could be the turkeys from your far Cry game. It could be like like it could just like do we have to even put up? Does goose have to go up? Or mav like to handle this? And and by the way, does that even count? If you are a fighter pilot in the US Air Force and he took out an F five amongst your friends, right, like, what was chasing you? Is it next gen third generation fighter jets from Russia? No? No? Oh?

Was it that Chinese fighter thing with the scramjet stuff they were talking about? No? I was it? Was it F five? And then they got to go look it up. I think if you have an F five you can get a Classic plates put on it so you don't have to pay the full registration fee. But we've on, We've on Cadillac of the Skies.

Bro Oh, I'm fifty one? All right? Well, never mind, I stand correct with the with the rebels gonna get it done, all right, six six forty ten, And you're right, and that the inevitability will be like we'll shoot their F five down. They be like, why would you do that? Now they have no way to protect themselves decimated their entire air force. I'm sorry, what's their naval for Kentiki? The raft?

I mean, what that thing? It's that and it's that thing that that dude and that other guy survived on, except the other guy didn't survive and the dude was way too fat. After six months, the original PT one oh nine PT went at a P fifty one. You're just throwing stuff out the sea. Yeah, all right, well, but but here's the here's the problem. You do that, and then if you happen to nail something and it's like super top secret, they're like, how does he do?

How does this guy know about the P fifty one? And then all of a sudden, like you you know, you get putined right up here on the seventh floor. Oh how the window fell out and ross fell out after it. There is no P fifty one, So be very careful, all right, six forty four hang on two stations driving the best in talk. This is Casey O'Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right, So I had to look it up. I had to look up the history of the F

five there, since that's what our troops will be facing. The light fighter aircraft own as the F five A through F five E ran and was produced by north Northrop Grumming or Northrop Corp. At the time, beginning in nineteen fifty nine. The rebels there their entire air force. Is that the Grand Tarno that Eastwood had right right, that thing you found in your you're now, you know, pop pop passes away and you're like, oh my gosh, what is this and it's it's a classic I was trying to be ridiculous

and you know, overly crazy with the Cadillact. This guy's the fifty one Mustang reference. Yeah, about forty five. That wasn't that far off. No, No, And what's crazy is so Grumman's so they built this thing, and they built it privately, and then obviously it was you know, at that point, I'm try to remember what the other plane was. Suddenly McDonald douglas was building. But they did that when you could still spec build stuff for the military. You can't. You can't assemble your own receiver now

without you know, atf wanting to kick your door in. Can you imagine if you're a young tech entrepreneur and you're like, I'm gonna build the next greatest murder jet, right, and you get the parts because you're the doogie houser of murder jets and you're just sitting there in your garage building this murder jet that you just can't wait. And you know, I can't wait to

present this to the leaders of the military. Wait till they get their eyes on this thing, and they're gonna buy my murder jets and I'm helping my country in great But right now, if you think about building a ghost gun, right the d o j wants to get a wants to get a warren. Maybe come in and shoot some of your family members. There's no half measures. You gotta go full Tony Stark iron Man. Yeah. Yeah, you can't spec build a murder jet today. Some bad's gonna happen when and

what happens they don't want your murder jet. You think they're gonna leave you around. They're like, ah, we went with a different murder jet, but I don't like that he knows how to build murder jets. You're gonna you're gonna be in trouble. Somebody's just sent me this. Do you know what? Do you know what the latest greatest technological breakthrough that the HOOTI rebels are gonna have to sit here and put up with right now. So we're like, ah, we love these murder jets. These are great, but

what if it could go much faster and not make a sonic boom? Ever, that's the thing right now, that's a that's crazy to How do you not to do something that just happens naturally? Doesn't even make sense? I can't, I can't even makes sense. I just imagine they all have like some sort of there's like an airy fifty one really with like Brent Spiner from Independence Day who's just like creating crazy stuff like no idea, how that's possible? Good luck? What if though, it's like Tony Stark and data get

in there? Ah, spec build and murder Jake, you've been working on a you've been working on nuclear sub right? Is that what's you have? It? Moored there in wake forest. He's got a bunch of branches over it. You wouldn't even know it's there. But yeah, that's his passion project that you feel for that it's actually inflatable. Oh man, I'm so stupid. You're attacking a cal right, that's high level. You don't get You don't get Calais jokes over on the uh you know the t D pop

station. They're not making Calais jokes of the boy. What if they are, though, Like, I don't want to pick out your buddy. He was very dice when I met him last month. No, only are they doing it, but they're actually doing it with an amazing patent impression. Oh you would think it was yeah, you would think it was like the actual pattern. You're like, how how they do that? Just there's just somebody from down the hall. They just come up here and just slap people randomly.

Are you're going to break? What are you doing? Can't do that? Oh? Speaking of the Armed Forces and its commander in chief, Joe Biden will be making a visit to Raleigh tomorrow where he'll room no doubt ruma around somewhere providing a much much coverage. Is he just going here because like Kamala, Kamala just did a visit and the visit to quote discuss bidenmics did I I will say this, Can you imagine putting your name on what's going

on right now? Like Reagan Reagan? Like Reaganomics was Reaganomics, but only after everyone's making a gain zillion dollars and every dude on Wall Street's blowing himself up with cocaine and and just insane in you know, insane trading schemes and everything's kind of a little out of control. But his bust along and you're like, I'm attached my name to what's going on right now where people can't afford food and they're a doctor married to a doctor whose kid is their kid's

a lawyer and lives at home. This is where we are, man. Uh, the Bidenomics and the investing in America agenda. Yeah, I don't see who was going somewhere. I thought that we were having visits where they were doing that. And is there something boon? Oh? No, Ross, what if they do something at your place in Boone there? I mean the boon, big beer, big beer, Boon, the triple B. Can you imagine him wandering around at the top of that thing. It's dangerous,

that sounds and then the HOOTI rebels might do something. You gotta watch out, man. Yeah, Janet, what's up? Hey, Casey? I just turned the radio along whom ARUs Rocker? Nobody if they're smart, that guy's that, that guy's he's a treasure. He's in North Carolina treasure. Why what did he do? Oh my gosh, I don't know. They're not reasonable people, the Hootie Rebels, because remember they just said they're going to come out to the US military with a plane from the fifties.

Notice, all right, they don't have they didn't have his up one on hand. What the hell I've met I've met Darius for a couple of times. That dude looks strike me. If somebody could handle himself like I don't like the Rebels, Chances he's got fighting jack. He could probably afford a F I can probably afford a dea F five. You know what my uncle recently told me when he got upset at the owner of a campground we were at that he has just enough money to name palm that place. So I'm

pretty sure my uncle's got that much money. Darius Rucker got there all right? All right? I love it, Janet, thanks for the call there. Yeah, can you imagine Hooti Rebels defeated by hoodie Kah. I'm gonna retweet this too. You wanna wanna check that out? And sorry, we'll hit the old or excuse me, repost or whatever. So there's a video that's going around h a barista at a at Terminal D in the Atlanta Airport

who she had gotten in. She got into a spat with one of her other coworkers or whatever, and I guess the managers are like, I'm sorry, you're out of here, you're fired, but whatever happened, and she's

she's like five foot and she is really upset. And in the video you see her trying to physically get back behind the counter, back to the employee area, and there's two managers standing there, and she decides that she's gonna she's gonna fight him, and at one point even picks up a high top chair, you know, like a reverend barber chair, and was was gonna hit these dudes. And the guy just he doesn't even move fast, just with one hand, just like takes the chair. Right. But if it

was a Disney movie, everyone's dead except her, right. I mean, that's how that works. When you get the the five foot tall barista against the sixth the one manager looks like he's six' three, who just one arm grabs the chair, not even in a forceful manner. It would be like if I'm like, hey, ross hand me a chair, and he just kind of here you go. If it's a Disney movie, you could be like a deaf amputee and still take him out. Yeah, hey man,

as long as you're have you seen Echo? I thought about clicking because don't do her there, don't do with them? Are there though? You know my thing? I want all the episodes to be there so I could binge it. I was moments away from pushing the play button the other day. You know, do it just so you have the show, prip Why what hapen to take one for the team. I mean we talked about I talked about that before it came out, like my wild irritation over them just

deciding that all tribes were the same. Yeah, and they're just She's a deaf amputee, a deaf Native American female amputee. Okay, and she is the ultimate Mary Sue. I'm I'm shocked they didn't make her trance, to be completely honest. Well, if you watched this whole thing, check another box. I did not, so perhaps said, yeah, it's right around the corner. Man. You know they should send her after the rebels over in Yemen. See you think Echo would win or the f five to be

fair to she's got plot armor. They don't stand a chance to be fair. Do you think you win or the F five? I mean it depends on the size of the rocket. I think I got a good chance that the rockets will work. So all right, everyone's down. Letting Darius Rucker do whatever he wants over there to give them the tools. Hey man, whatever works, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. We should be chatting with Lieutenant Governor today. That'll be about one

hour from now. We'll see, Uh what is going on there? Whoa old? Uh? Why did that start playing? You know Twitter's done that recently. Even when I closed the app, it doesn't stop me. That's what happened to me earlier, same exact thing. I didn't have the video. I didn't call the video up. I just tweeted it without and then I was freaking out because I'm like, I'm pretty sure she swears in there

when it's uh, when it's chair time. All right, So anyway, yes, was mentioning Joe Biden Megan a visit to the tri Angle tomorrow.

The White House went on to say, Hey, this is about repairing and rebuilding our infrastructure, lowering costs, supporting small you know, all the basically unchecked statements that you can make when nobody actually attempts to give you the same thoroughness, which is what they claim that they're giving to the right now, we're just trying to be thorough right, make sure everything checks out, and then you know, and then you can just say stuff like that. And

somehow the article then delves into Trump being unfit for the presidency. And it's supposed to just be a placeholder article to let people know that Biden's visiting. Biden lost North Carolina in twenty twenty to Trump by less than seventy five thousand votes. Okay, I have a question, is this so this is Is this a campaign stop? No, it's not. It's supposed to be a presidential stop. Why we dive into that now? Where I'm wondering, I

just want to know where the heck he's going. I had it in that other article and then I closed it because we got talking about rebels and just one of those mornings around these parts. All right, well, we got to get into it. We got to get into a few things before before we do chat with Lieutenant governor. But I got all sorts of stuff. I want to ask him. This is interesting and and and obviously a really

bad, really really bad idea. Uh. You know, one of the things as a responsible firearm owner that you want to keep in mind, uh, is that guns and alcohol don't mix, all right. You know there's there's gun ranges that have literally like social clubs in them and bars and stuff like that. But you know they have I remember seeing somebody was freaking out over a hunting facility, right, it was a bird facility because of this huge clubhouse there. They were, Oh, people are going there, They're

getting drunk and they're going there out. They're out hunting truckers and stuff and pheasants. And I went to that. I went to the facility before, and they have this this whole lockout procedure. So if you go, if you go into the bar restaurant and get a beer, you're done. I point this out because, in the same way that guns in alcohol dout mix,

guns and cocaine are probably not a good idea either. Hunter Biden, according to federal prosecutors in a filing yesterday, may have not understood that rule. Five years after the sister in law, UH turned Hailey Biden dumped Hunter's firearm in that trash can behind the grocery store next to the school. Officials have released a more thorough examination of the pistol and the holster and all of

its contents. By the way, it was a Cobra, a three eighty five pl revolver, and according to the filing yesterday previously undisclosed, the holster of the pistol was just chock full of cocaine, had cocaine all over it, because of course it did, right, if you're a Hunter Biden's pistol holster, you probably like you're just like all using a powdery winter wonderland, right, And obviously the holster, being you know, a fabric and leather,

is going to more succinctly hold on to it. But that was not the totality of it. According to the FBI chemist's report, investigators also found a pouch in the holster that was full of drugs, so not just residue on there. He had a custom coke pocket on his pistol holster, which I have a few holsters. I've never seen that option. Right, do they make pistols holsters with one hitters too? If you're more into marijuana right where it's a bong. I take your pistol, I'll leave it in do

whatever you're gonna do. But no, yeah, they found drugs in the pouch. The filing is a response to a motion of dismiss filed by Hunter's lawyers on the gun charge. The team recounted the evidence they had that to confirm the it was abundantly clear, like because this is the this is the the damning part of this. If you if you remember the whole pistol thing.

The problem was he lied on the form he had to fill out about his rampant drug use there and a couple other things, and it becomes it's one thing to say, no, look, I didn't think I didn't was using in a rampant manner, even though that's not the standard or any of the rest. You can't try to distance yourself from those two activities. If the very device that was used, if the very device that was used has the drugs on it, right, that's that's what they refer to as a

slam dun or should be. And I know, in an unbiased legal system, that's probably a pretty damning piece of evidence, says one of our emailers described, if your pistol holster looks like a powder donut, you're probably gonna lose, or at the very least should But again, I don't know that people have the utmost confidence in where there's things going. All right, So if you want to weigh in on that and the pistol holsters with drug compartments,

I guess feel free. So what you gotta do if you want to hide your drugs, what you do is you got to load your own and instead of dumping gunpowder in there, cocaine and then you just got bullets and you know, here you go, and then you just pull the pop the top off one. So not only do you you got your gun and you can flash it around and your you know, your your crack hotel videos, but also it's already in a device you could put right in your nostrils.

So that's called two birds one stone right there. Look it up seven eighteen Hang on your Day, Smarter one O six one f M Talk and news Talk NUPTI more with case starts now. All righty, welcome back kc O Day Radio program. Let't grab a phone call here on cocaine, guns and other stuff. Well that now now, I don't I know if I want to call it that unless it's a gun that shoots cocaine, which I have to think if you're like Motley Crue back in the day, you have one

of those on your bus as rock stars do. I'm just imagining Hunter Thompson walking around with you know, Woody Creek there, Colorado is cocaine gun. Yeah, amazing, that would be great. All right, Well that's said. That's another thing you gotta worry about. Jamal. What's up, hey, Kase? You know what, when you think about what Hunter Biden did, and to me, the black community should be real angry Joe Biden the

nineteen ninety four crime bill. I remember Max seing Nappy head Waters sat there on the floor and said, well, what happens if some friends had a done and you know, had a little blobling and you know, But Joe Biden was agnamant about, you know, getting these drug dealers and getting these

people off the streets, which he was right about. Let me say that the nineteen ninety four crime Bill was correct because if the drug dealers and gang bengals out off the streets, but his son, his son was caught with a gun ankle, I mean gun and crack, I mean cocaine and olster. Literally, this is what the nineteen ninety four crime Bill was supposed to be about. Wait, hold on, hold on, I'm sorry, So

were you are? Was there a was there a run of cocaine guns within inner city communities that they were attempting to target because I'm the first time I'm hearing about cocaine guns. So oh no, this happened on the floor that they were debating nineteen ninety four crime beer. It was like cracking one side of the pocket gun. Oh okay, so he says he just mixed them

like peanut butter jelly. Right, Oh yeah, he had. He had him a cracking butter stand with a cracking butter sand and the and the hypocrisy behind it. Casey, can't just think about this. They have released a report. They had their report saying that his son was standing there not only

with his coke residue in the host, but cocaine period. And not a Democrat is out here who was against was for prison reform and how it's targeting and hurting black men are out here saying a word they a black church is talking about the racism, and old Joe, old Joe Biden gonna say he was because that old klan Trump He's gonna come. He gonna put y'all's back and changing in the field. Y'all's gonna be picking sweet potatoes and cotton and

butterbeans. He gonna, hey, you're doing it, you elect Trump. Black folk don't trust him. But your son's sitting up here with cocaine guns, hookush underage hookers and he gets to do whatever. Isn't that the white privileged people swamping down and they didn't no fair? That sounds like politicians kid

privilege. But if you had to pick one right there, even even Jesse, if Jackson's son went to prison for his shinstiness, well, I just look I the fact that now we have to worry about cocaine guns and they're in once on you know, crime statistics within our tech, you know, within our communities, and not the best example coming from the White House there. I share your concern sir so, but I just say it's the more more hypocrisy when people call you telling you about you know, he doing this

for white o y'all. You know, when are people going to just wake up and say you know what it's not about racism is racism is to sell to the highest bidder, and all these people like Bob and all of them to do all this crime and boogoo wing about racism. It's not about racism. It's about selling power in the black struggle to keep a particular party. I am you know, I got it. I got a role and I think a lot of people would agree with you on that for sure. Oh

man, wait, do you hear this a Palestinian protest article? Hey? Keeping you connected? This is ninety four or five w p T I and the Triad and one six one FM talk in the Triangle. I just can't. I just you know what, here's what you need to do. You need to lock the entire store up once and for all. So there you see these pictures floating around of now Walmart and Target, who much like Razor Blades and H Laundry Detergent, have now had to put socks in underwear behind

uh lock and key. That's everything, right, that's all the stuff? Is there? Anything not? By the way, if you're a if you're a company and you make stuff that you know for the you know, sold in retail environments and they don't lock your stuff up. Do you kind of feel bad? You kind of like, hey, hey, people want to

steal our stuff too. In fact, that's what you do from a viral marketing standpoint, right, You got to you gotta hire a bunch of people to go steal a bunch of your stuff so that you get into the lock and key club. And then consumers would I guess, attach an inherent value to whatever it is you're making just my uh, just my free consultation for any of you manufacturers out there. All right, So check this out because what this is is not immediately apparent and tell you, actually you think about

it for a moment. Maybe you have or maybe you haven't noticed that there have been a lot of instances where pro Palestinian protesters, among all of the other fun banners and T shirts and everything else out there, have included a lot of imagery with watermelons, and the associated press wants you to know they're

not doing it to be racist. I guess they were very concerned that people would see that and think that the very same folks who went and uh hold on, let me check booed kids with cancer the other day, chanting shame shame at a pediatric oncology facility, which, by the way, what do the kids have to be ashamed of at the pediatric oncology facility? Hoarding celebrity meet and greets. I mean, what what is like if I can't figure

it out? And I'm just so I was racking my brain, that's the only thing, I guess, because they like they wanted to meet Jeter, and Jeter's people are like, I'm sorry, we're very busy with the Make a Wish Foundation. We're not going to be able to accommodate, and that like radicalize somebody, I guess, But yeah, they want to be they want to be very clear that the imagery of watermelons, if you would look,

is actually a rallying point. I'm using the words of the writer of this article that are not in quotes, has become a rallying point for solidarity with the Palestinian's plight. Yeah, a sign of solidarity because the watermelon with its green rind, black seeds, and red pulp represents the Palestinian flag. And there's a term for what they're implying that this is called algo speak, and it's a way that you bypass professor, You know you bypass governmental clampdowns

on stuff to include imagery that just means the same thing. So you know in in China. In China is really where you saw this pioneered, especially in and around like Tianemen and things like that. But I guess the writer here was concerned that with people would see what looks like cartoonish watermelon imagery and jump to ah, obviously they're racist, because the media themselves, remember that's this is what they do. Somebody makes an okay symbol to indicate that something's

okay. And now it's an investigation. Why does your why does your stage look like a run? Right? Right? Just make it more sense as I'm explaining, it isn't it. They can find they can find the hate hiding anywhere, as long as it's among the appropriate people in their stupid rune stage. But they wouldn't want you to be confused that people who harass cancer children. I don't want people doubt they're thinking that they're racists, say,

or hateful or something. So that's why we get this clarification. God help is man all right. The largest city in New Jersey, Newark, Newark, has expanded their voter base. That's right. The Newark City Council has voted to grant voting rights to sixteen and seventeen year olds for local school board elections. This is the one where they always try to start this because they're

like, I know, we should have the kids voting. It's not just an absolutely easy to read plan to boost Democrat voters, right, because then they can These kids are captives. So if you're a Moonbat teacher and you know there are some out there and you're like, ah, my kids can vote, now, I'm going to make it a class assignment. We're going to go we all go to the polling place together and I'll, you know, kind of tell them how to vote, or at the very least i'll

know. Because your big problem with sixteen and seventeen year olds is not that their politics isn't going to lean left heavily. It's you got to get them to get there and vote, or you got to get a bunch of absentee stuff and just fill it out for them. But I mean, who would

do that? So that's what you're going to struggle with. But that's an easily controllable thing here, So we when people push back on that, The way that they then try to start is go, well, look, you say they don't got skin in the game, but where do kids have skin in the game? School? Right? So why don't why don't they should be able to vote in school board elections? And that's what they're doing here, So they will now be allowed to vote in school board elections. Council

president Lemonica McIver, not mcgiver, but mcgiver, be very clear. I don't think she possesses even one one hundred of the skills of mcgiver. Obviously, because what she's gonna say next, you can tell she's dumb. She said. Not only did it past unanimously, but she declared that miners have the right to representation, and they do their parents represent them, because that's

how that works. The measure then went on to declare that sixteen and seventeen year olds deserve the right to vote because they may take on certain responsibilities like driving, paying taxes, and working, as well as civic activities such as political campaign contributions. Wait wait, this is also a money hustle. I'm sorry, how much your sixteen year olds donating to your campaign? Oh?

It just hit me. Do you know how obnoxious. It's gonna be when the kids show up to sell candy bars to me, But it's for money for political candidates and not football uniforms or pencils, because it never I do you not have this basic thing? What the hell? Where would all the money go? And then we're told it's not. Everything's fine, and it's like, I don't know, I didn't have. How many assistant principles did you have? We had one? Now you can like there's a principle for

each grade. There could be more. This whole thing. Man councilwoman Louise Scott Roundtree, who's also an idiot, went on to say, quote, it was biblical. I want to be very clear. She went on to use the Bible. It is biblical to let vote miners vote. Where where is that? Somebody with more instant recall Bible knowledge than me? Where was that? Is? That? Was that? What was that one of the smashed tablets? We didn't know it had an extra one on there? Right,

And it's like, God, thou shall let miners vote. It's right there about not you know, murdering people or hook it up with the neighbor's wife. So who are we to argue quote we dowb I think we downplay their wisdom because we think we elders know at all. Uh yeah, look, our kids even to have good ideas, occasionally maligned and not listened to.

Yes, it's also why every great eighties movie subplot the kids this amazing adventure ensues, and it's largely due to the fact that they were basically kind of sloughed off by parents or other authority figures, so they were left to handle it themselves. You don't think it would have been a better bet if perhaps some adults who cared were involved in more treasure hunting along the Oregon coast, especially considering the obstacles that those kids were likely going to face and did

face. So yeah, save me that. But the biblical thing, that's great. So somebody, if you want to help out eight eight, eight nine, three four seven, eight seventy four. What the hell does that mean? Ponder that? What we chat with Ray Stagic who means business dude, dude. Yeah, I grew up a cold weather environment. I'm stop, I got it. No, no, no, no, here's the thing, and I and I did. I walked out this where I went oooh yeah, right that being said, and by the way, no man

should make that noise. That being said, they delayed school. They delayed school for some of the kids. I had this conversation when the Buffalo game was changed. I had it with somebody at working maybe in the news releash nine feet of snow here. Well, listen, it goes back to the entire message I was trying to deliver, and I probably said it a little bit too loud. I was like, I wasn't sure I get it. They all right, so maybe the buffal games. But it's cold, but

it's it's okay, what did we used to do. This isn't working. We all just died. That's what did not see? Did not see twenty two or the day after tomorrow or whatever? Yeah, which one is it? Yeah? Day after tomorrow saying some of them survived, right because somebody has Yeah, exactly. I mean, if if we're talking Buffalo, by his opinion, I think it was the main the right decision to be made. I am nana a game from that. I personally was like, I

just let him play. But anyway, my point being, I said in the news room, I think I think we have softened way too much over the years. I think we've solved the record lows for the date are below zero, and this is actual air temperatures. What would we do? What would we do? Viot fires and the only thing to keep people work? And is it funny? I was talking about the late seventies early eighty lows nineteen seventy seven one below and Raleigh. The record for Ashville is six below.

So it's teens and even some twenty degree temperatures this morning. It's okay, you prep yourself accordingly, you drip your pipes. It's gonna be all right. Sunshine and upper third forty probably today for some twenty Tonight fifty degrees, Tomorrow fifty degrees and that a little rain tomorrow night early Friday, there might be a little mix, especially west and into the mountains where they may get at some of the ski resorts a little bit of snow. So the

skiing's going to be great this weekend. We'll get close to fifty Friday before the bottom falls out on temperatures again, thirty five on Saturday and ne're forty on Sunday. A lowe's going back down into the teens and a nice warm up coming next week. So winter weather enthusiast head to the mountains over the weekend. Should be beautiful, some beautiful ski weather Beach Mountain. I think I think they got like over a foot of snow and they'll have more coming,

a lot more coming tomorrow night to Friday. Boone at snow. Plenty of record snow. And you know what I found funny for Nashville. They had record snow, over six inches of snow, and I was kind of looking for songs about snow. There's a lot of country songs about rain, but you know what, there's not many about snow. So somebody get on that exact Brian has a song about snow. There is, but there's a lot more about rain. You know. There's a country artist named Hank Snow.

Yes I do, okay, I thank my playlist. Well, I'm just saying like, there you go. You're welcome. Boom, thanks yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, see in an hour, thank you. All right, there you go. Very stagic. So wait, it's big ski plot right, snow coming, make it cold. Kids can't go to school with family ski vacation. I see you, I see what you're doing. We'll uncover that next. The iHeart Radio app search Kcoda for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app all right, sep fifty five Kcoday Radio program.

And you know how government loves the government and just almost make a joke out of spending your money. It wasn't so damned expensive. It might actually be somewhat humorous from time to excuse me from time to time. But we got us a doozy and it's up there on par with some of the greats. One of our favorites around here, because there's a it's a local thing was back in the day over at Wakefornes University. They were speaking of cocaine.

They were like, hey, what if we give monkeys cocaine? And then somebody's like, ah, yeah, yeah, but how about we don't pay for it and the taxpayers paid for it. Brilliant they said, And that we were able to get that, and then that's how we get our intro song for the thing I'm about to tell you. So let's do that. Grand that's a lot to be asking to study cocaine. Old lunches up and watch house on this last and then once on is this man your bird?

The economic stimulation? Mind me? How to grow when looking monkeys on powder is what you get fitted to so many ways our tax dollars, good miss Spenning. Instead of using monkey powder to turn primates to cokedes, monkeys on callka. What the public had in line monkeys on called CAA, monkeys

on called CAA curious charge you to do a lot monkeys on calledka. All right, so how do you trump the federal government spending in that case one hundred and forty four thousand dollars to get curious George to do a line as the song mentions, well, things are more expensive now, so you allocate seven one hundred thousand dollars to develop a brand new trans inclusive sexual education program for fourteen year olds to educate fourteen year old transgender male students, so female

students identifying as men or I guess boys in this case, because we're talking about fourteen year olds boys and girls, so that you can educate them on the fact that they can get pregnant. So started you know fourteen, obviously we know the fourteen year olds can get pregnant. But apparently if you're fourteen and you decided that the assigned female at birth not going to work, and now I identify as a male. Apparently then you're unaware that you still can

get pregnant. But luckily the government's gonna spend seven hundred thousand to put a thing together going hey, hey, you can still get pregnant if you have a womb. So that the cocaine monkey people got to be drooling at this fat pay day at about five times. What day. God, we are

so doomed. And all right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is eight oh seven here on the Cacoday Radio program eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four on the show We've we got through Hoti rebels hooting the blowfish. Uh. Somebody sent me an email with a brilliant idea on how to handle the totality of the uh Hooti rebel air force, which is apparently an F five from the fifties, send miss America. Can you imagine, because you got it, you also have to look at that through a

cultural lens. How insulting an unburkeed twenty two year old beauty queen and an F sixteen destroying your entire air force? What that does for like your ego? That's got a that's like one of those things where we do those stories where somebody gets arrested for something so embarrassing you're like, you better lie you get to jail. You need to lie. You can't be a rebel group on the cusp of a cheesy, achieving labels of terrorist status, right,

you know, this is this is your dream. You can't be that and have one wing of your military obliterated by a prom queen who just happens to also be a talented pilot soon to be Harvard medical doctor, and also a beauty queen. Like that's that's got to be a masculine when when you go to like the you know, the conferences with the other rebel groups, right, who was the who was the dude in Cony? You remember Cony in Africa and he was a parent. Coney was the new hitler. Coney was

everywhere. Like there's a certain amount of cred that goes with that. You think Coney's guys are not gonna laugh at you at the mixer during the first night of the conference. No, man, So yeah, thank you. It was a Jerry. I'm sorry I just clicked away from the email, but thank you our emailer. I think that's a brilliant idea. And you know, who's wingman in her hoodie. He's still in this equation and he doesn't even need to like that's his call sign. Like there's no mystery here.

You're hoodie. And as we know, nothing bad ever happens to pilots or navigators whose call sign is bird related. Fact. Ross, would you check that out real quick? Ross could do some research. Are you sitting down? I am. I know, it's fine, it's fine. Oh, it's gonna be fine. Okay, for a moment I thought we were gonna go in another direction there, but yeah, that's where we are,

and then I was just mentioning before the break. The Department of Health and Human Services is awarded nearly seven hundred thousand dollars to put together a non heteronormative sexual ed program, which they say is inadequate. I have a question,

how is heteronormative sexual education on the topic of pregnancy inadequate? Because even if you distance yourself from labels engender and and all of that, I thought it was supposed to be dealing with the science, and the science goes like this plug socket baby, the title of my new book gonna have graphic art too,

so not for kids. But yeah, so the reason you have to come up with something new which is being disc as quote an inclusive teen pregnancy program for transgender boys, to quote educate them that they can become pregnant sounds

like a failing of the main trux of it. And the only reason that they would think that they couldn't become pregnant is because you've convinced them that if they then identify without surgery, right, if they have all the if they have the functionality removed, then yes, probably not going to get pregnant. But if everything's there, and you know you're at you're in a very fertile

stage of your life. Right. The only reason they wouldn't know that is because you've convinced them otherwise with your other educational programs costing a bunch of money for no reason, and then you tell me that person should be able to vote. It all ties together, folks, It all all ties together, and and in pure government fashion, the answer is throw more money at it.

And that's what they're going to do. Austin. Austin, Texas is in crisis, not from you know, not from any of the normal stuff, or just the sheer amount of hipster d bags that dot the area, which is too bad because like there's a lot of places that are really kind of stunning, and like you wouldn't think of that with Austin. But Austin's really like from a topography standpoint, you got the lake up there, you got some great golf courses around there, you have uh, you know,

some of the mountains and the and the like. They you know, they had the bats and all that. That's a big deal there. But there's so much more to the area around there, and Texas doesn't always get that, but Austin's got a lot going on there, and then it just fills up with that. Well, now they got a new problem. Austin is facing a ramp a run of machete problems. And I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking, case you didn't pronounce that correct, right, But I think that's probably how they would say it among the the hipster crowd of Austin, not understanding the machete reference, which in and of itself is a crime. Uh. Austin City leaders are struggling to figure out how to solve the machete crime problem in Austin, which has has resulted in several unprovoked and deadly attacks plaguing the residents. Machetes have historically been used as agricultural tools or as

military weapons. Thank you, Captain Obvious. It is kind of crazy, though, man watching uh where it is more common culturally to use machetes as gardening tools. Because you see a dude walking into a yard holding a big, you know, big old knife, You're like, what's going Oh, he's no, he's just trimming the hedges. I watched a dude cut along

with a machete once Ross is laughing. I know. So on the corner of my house, we have these big azilia bushes, right, Okay, sometimes they get like too big because I'm lazy stuff and like, you know, like weeds and all that. So I will go out there in the

corner of the house with my dad's old k bar from Vietnam. Yeah, and I will hack the living crap because that thing is still super sharp, Like it'll if you were not careful, you will it'll cut your hand up, uh huh, or your finger off or some So I will go out there. Mark He's like, what do you what are you doing with that knife? And I'm like, it works, right, What are you doing

with that now? I am cotting down the I'm trimming the azelia bushes and one swing like like a knife through Butter does she understand that the alternative is you to go get one of those saw those toothy hedge trimmer things and either get an electric one, which never has They've got one of those recently.

I was playing with those when we before we had our roof Don Chad, the roofing guy, was like, hey, you should, like, you know, before the insurance people come out and look at it and tell you if they're going to pay or not, you know, expect the house. You should probably maybe trim some of these branches just to get him away from the house, you know what I mean. So it's just, you know, because otherwise they'll be like things can get on there and get in your

house and blah blah blah. Yeah. So I bought one of those electric limb trimmers. Yeah, that go way up. It is so fun to use, and at first I'm like, I don't know, it's so fun. It's super fun. Yeah, but you know what else is fun? Using your dad's k bar. Right, there's that dual wheel death thing, all the key bar in one hand and the trimmer and the other oh no

stoppable man. All right, So but you have to understand where this is going because they're talking about how in uh, you know, Cuba and Brazil and Mexico and and then they throw and Rwanda in there. They're used as agricultural what Yeah, I think I think Rowanda should be its own category if you want to talk about the historical dual use of what what a comparison?

Let alone. It's like Austin and the killing Fields's fun. Yeah, guys on the radio finding the cockroaches, if you saw a hotel Rwanda, That's true. That was the thing. Like literally the radio shows had to make a decision where they were going with it, and that's where they went with it. Right. That's like, you know, all hell kicking loose and Ross and I have to decide whether we're going to encourage you to go out and hunt up people from Chapel Hill or something, which I mean's really dark

stuff. So to make that seamless transition from it's used to cut hedges in Cuba and Rwanda some stuff, Holy crap. Now it's not quite that bad in Austin. But I bring this up because merely talking about it knowing that there are certain cultural uses, which I don't even think is fair because I

think anyone with an arm can use one to trim branches. But I would say it's true that it's more tradition in many Latin American countries and other places to use that, largely due to the fact that they're pretty inexpensive and they work well. So that so people were upset that city leaders in Austin are even going, hey, we got a problem. Yeah, people running around doing the Rwanda version and not the Brazil version, and we need to do

something. And in my favorite rebuttal comment by Cleo Patrici, who is a Democratic, former Democrat lawmaker and co founder of some Austin organization, they want to be clear that city officials don't create this false sense of division because just because some of the high profile okay, okay, all of the high profile machete attacks that are quoted in this article were in fact carried out by individuals who were not from Austin originally, and in most cases not from the United

States but further south. So that's that's what they want to point out. And then Patricik says, and I quote, keep in mind that this goes there is a double standard, as most Texans laud James Bowie and his claim to fame also being a large knife. You think you think that's what it is. Do you think that that's why Alamo hero James bow Do you think it's because he invented a garden tool? And that's not what that's about.

And for people to have a positive opinion, I need a Bowie. And by the way, some people don't, just because you know, they still think that's Mexico. We stole it, that's fine, they took it back and then we're like, nah, we'll have that back again. Boom. And that's where it sits. But to draw this delineation where how can you be mad at current day machete guy when you think David Bowie or David Bowie. Yeah, when you like David Bowie even and James Bowie. It's all

so dumb and it's all so predictable each and every time. Now, how do you stop people from running around like they're on the hunt for you know, uh uh? Toutsis well. City of Austin is discussing perhaps the ease

of acquisition and putting more restrictions, said one lawmaker. They only cost six nine at the store, which I will attest to because I when we're doing the stuff of bus with the kids toys, right in that where you go in by the fishing stuff next to the toy stuff, they also had six dollars machetes there, so yeah, and then goes on to say and anyone

can purchase them. They're wanting to go the UK route, which is you know, culminated in one of our favorite amnesty days where people were getting gift cards by turning in sharp spoons right, and then the police took pictures of the sharp spoons, going we got another one off the street where we're going to make you safer here in the UK. You're welcome. So a twofold

play in one. They want to step up the presence of law enforcement and from the Park Patrol Division, but also they want to discuss options to make uh, these weapons of death and you know gardening much more difficult to attain. I guess machete waiting periods, I'm not sure. Obviously, they want to financially deincentivize people from using a thing that is largely used for because of the relative low cost of it, but still providing the function that people want,

because that's you know, government's going to government. Patricik also talked about other examples of unprovoked machete attacks, including in January or January ninth, excuse me, where twenty four year old Ashton Tally of Kyle, Texas allegedly attacked a nineteen year old college student. Again and not from Austin. Uh and say, they just have a whole list of some other incidents there. But yes, this is a big problem, big problem. They're gonna solve it

government style. And now if you want to, you're good. It'll be cheaper to buy the wand clipper thing that Ross is so enamored with, which I'm pretty sure you can attack somebody with. In fact, I believe in a movie I saw that happen, and in that commercial where the kids are hiding in the chainsaw shed, I think there were a few in there as well, So bad news for them. Probably have to price those out of existence. All right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.

That'll get you on the show, and we're back doing the mask thing. I'll tell you what's up coming up Casey O Day Radio program. This is one O six one FM talking the Triangle and News Talking ninety four to five PTI and the Triad. I'm just saying, if it ever becomes a thing, it's nothing but me and body paint in a hot tub. What do you think of that? They've got to help the ratings? Or yeah, but can you how long will it take you to eat an entire jar

of water with a fork? Oh, don't even try me. We may make that a promotion or something. I'll do that, and then occasionally I'll just go NPC and man, wait to hear about this ice cream. It's amazing, but don't mix it with the chili peppers. So Ros and I were taught, you know, there's a there's evolution in everything that you do.

And I was reading an article about how they're talking about how in certain disciplines including radio, and this is more this is probably more about targeting much younger folks than what is kind of our core demographic here, but of moving combining all the stuff you love about radio with like a twitch style thing, so which you know, in a way, Ross, you're the innovator here

because you're already doing that. Said I said, a wow, a guy, I told you this I feel like that's the future because it's it's video, it's audio, and the viewer slash listener right can can communicate with the broadcaster in real life via text message or right. It's combining all these three. So I could see it eventually going there. Yeah, but are we already offered the we already well not the video saying but you don't want that, you think you want that, you don't want that, you don't want

five am us. I'm exactly right, do not you think you don't? So if it does happen, then I have to go to that that one part of twitch that is nothing, but you know, swimsuit loopholes and body paints. Hey man, there's an audience for everything. Apparently, they said there is a streamer the other day she I saw her post an exerp there's

some sort of how do you pronounce like dexxerdo whatever. Yeah, And they just cover like streaming and like video stuff and video games, And they did an article about a streamer who for seven hours, the entire stream was a camera on her right. There's no game, apparently, just a camera on her with a jar of water, and it took her seven hours to finish the jar of water like drinking slash, eating it with a fork. She's like, how long can it take me in to finish this jar water with

a fork? And she's got thousands of yeah watching her do this for seven hours? Well they watching her. That's more background stuff where you getting things done? Maybe I don't know. I don't know, man, I oh you know what? All right? So body paint hot tubs and muck bang. That's which is kind of sometimes the Morning Show when I get the cold beef ERRONI out. Yeah, I was gonna say, but also like like a homeless vibe too, like a homeless feel. But it's good. What

do you do when you talking trash? Mister, I'm gonna go pretend I'm Rambo while wearing my new balances. I'm saying sometimes you know, you just you don't want a camera in here. Ross just he made a point, or he's like, man, look at my new new balances. Yeah right, they're red, white and blue like buffalo blue. Yeah yeah, I

don't care, anybody says man, new balances are amazing comfy. That's because one of our listeners on X, Sir Joshua was talking about He's like oh, well, you know you're getting old when you you pull your socks up to your knees. And I just replied, I was like, and it was a true story. I'm like today before bed, uh huh. I

checked my tire pressure outside. Very responsible came in, took off my amazingly comfortable new balances, and then I sat down in bed and watched Reacher and it was just with a with a grim reaper photo because I'm so old. I mean, that's a definition now apparently if you're old, if you watch Reacher. I think it's a great show. I love it. Really, Yeah, somebody because they posted, like, you know, there was a story this is the number one most viewed show on Amazon, And then the

younger zoomers were commenting all over the place like who watches this show? Only the old people watch this show. And they're like, yeah, your dad watches the show. That's why, that's why it's popular. Yeah, it's a great show. Well, you know, they tried this with what was the remember that Chris Pratt Navy Seal thing, the mini series, right, They tried to say that that was a great show too, that was a fantastic show. Apparently we feel that way because we're ancient and we're gonna turn

the dust suit. I don't have new balances on. Do they're so great? No? I think they probably are. They look comfortable. Listen, man, I need to wear my shoes or my back. It's okay. Well, maybe don't go out and ramble the bushes, right, come on, man, you don't be funnier as if you're in a gilly suit too, and you can see the new balances sticking out the bottom. That would be. That would be a drives by. They're like go bills. Also, don't murder me guy in a gilly suit with a k bar please,

whatever you do. Oh my goodness, are you ready for this? There's some science for you, science science science researchers in Canada, so you know, take that for what it's worth. Say that. Oh that's a good point. Now I have old listeners going that if you will love new balance, you're gonna love love sketcher slip ons. Yeah. I'm not not at that point yet. Are we bringing velcrow into this yet? Where we're need that I can't do velcro with the gym? Yeah, well that would be.

It was a hallmark of eighties gyms. But not no more. All right. That's Boston Paul by the way, and I'm sure he knows what he's talking about. It would say, as it pertains to old man footwear, So I got that going for you. Researchers in Canada say that they were trying to see if perhaps psychiatric issues, specifically people who you would clinically describe as a psychopath may have physical characteristics that coincide with that particular mental state.

And they say there are a few things, though the sample size isn't great, but a few things that perhaps can contribute to what they refer to as and I'm not making this up, the dark triad of traits indicating that somebody is perhaps prone to macavelianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. All right, so let's all check first, look at your whatever your dominant hand is, okay, And by the way, if it's left, that's one of the traits. So sucks for you. What is somebody? It's new balance,

not new balances? Are you trying to outold us? Because that's well done. Did I say new balance? I don't even know what if there's more than one of them? Well, yeah, that's why you're making it plural. Yeah, idiot, but that is. But it's like deer, like if I got Nike shoes, right, I'm getting my Nikes. I'm not getting my Nike. Oh dummy, but cheese it you grammar Nazi, but cheese it cheese it not allowed to cheese it. Remember we learned that.

So anyway, left handed also is your index or pointer finger, and your ring finger, which is longer ross ring finger longer or index finger. I am left handed and my ring finger is longer than my podcast. Oh wow. And also all all I eat and drink is bitter food. Plus I'm in the media. Your ticket, all the boxes bison. I got to return some videotapes. I bet you do. You know what you should do? You should journal about it. Hold on, hold on, we'll get

we get into that of a seri of mode. I love what everything just ties together. We'll even get another hooting in the Blowfish reference in but now ray Stagic here for the Weather Channel. We are proposing that North care on line of legend Hoodie from Hoody and the Blowfish go and fight the Hooty Rebels, now that we found out that their entire air force is one nineteen fifties Era of five series fighter jet kind of Oh okay, yeah, or the new Mist America one of the two. Yeah, that too, don't want

to Oh yeah, we could send her, I guess. So that's what we're out. That's what we're playing. Ross says. Ross has a new Balance shoes, does he? Yeah, says They're so comfy. They really are. My mom when I saw her, actually brought me a pair from the local shoe store back at home, you know, the local mom and pop where you can find like the size fifteens that she brobably some new Balance. I was like, wow, oh wow, Balance. Yeah. Can

you imagine? Yeah? Man, the designs fingers longer, ring fingers longer than just the key. So there's my contribution for the day. You're taking one of the dark triad traits of psychopathy? Are you left hand? Are you No? I am not left handed? My mom is though. Speaking of mom, so well, check her finger length and get back with all right, what do you got back? Anyway? Cold and it'll get mild

there pretty quickly. The next round of Arctic air, though already poised to come on in here for the weekend today, most of us getting the mid upper thirties tonight near twenty, so up a few degrees from where we are this morning, which is basically in the teens, and tomorrow will be closer to normal, close to fifty, and we'll see clouds and crees gonna bring

some rain in Tomorrow night into early Friday. Try head west. There may be some sleet or freezing rain mixed in you get into the mountains at higher elevations, probably some snow. I don't anticipate any travel trouble Friday, is it. If you're driving around, check your car thermometer if it's near thirty two, close enough that maybe you're running into some ice or maybe some freezing rain or snow. Again emphasizing this doesn't look like it's gonna be a big

deals A week. Low should probably go over the top of US or just north of US, which is not a favorable track for wintry weather, but it will drag the next Arctic front through up Saturday. Upper teen's low twenties barely get above freezing Saturday, but a nice sunny day in the teen Saturday night, Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon near forty, ended up near fifty by Monday, probably well into the fifties sometime next week, maybe even close to

sixty for some of us by about Tuesday or Wednesday. So nice warm up coming, Just going to take a few days to get there. Okay, all right, thank you, we'll talk tomorrow, sir. Have a good one and Jeff Bellinger joins us next. Hang on smart talk all day ninety four to five w PTI in the Triad and six one FM Talk in the Triangle. It's eight fifty three. Good morning, You're Bloombery up date now with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's happening? Well, good morning. Casey

Stock started the holiday shortened week with a losing session. The Dow was down two hundred and thirty two points yesterday, a big drag from Boeing on the Blue Chips. Boeing shares fell nearly eight percent. The aerospace company, of course, dealing with growing concerns about aircraft safety, just got word from Washington that consumers continued to spend at the end of last year, making December a good month for retailers. The government reports retail sales rows six tenths percent.

The increase with autos excluded was four tenths percent. The increase overall the biggest in three months. The federal government may crack down on banks overdraft fees. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has proposed that banks only be allowed to charge overdrawn customers what it costs for them to break even for covering an overdraft. The agency is considering capping fees at fourteen dollars or less. Banks currently charge customers

at average of thirty five dollars for overdrawing their accounts. Businesses cannot afford to be lacks about cybersecurity. JP Morgan Chase says hackers attempt to infiltrate its systems forty five billion times a day. That was not a typo forty five billion. Mary Callahan Urdos, heads the Banking Giants Asset and Wealth Management Division, to Old Bloomberg, the bad guys are getting smarter, savvyer, quicker,

and more devious. She says, It's hard to stay one step ahead of the criminals, and it will get harder and the Casey home loan demand picked up last week. Mortgage bankers report overall application volume was up nearly ten and a half percent. Casey, Jeff, can I ask you two quick questions? Okay? First, new balance or sketcher slip ons. What's what do you think's more comfortable of? More recently, I've had sketchers. Oh okay, all right, team sketchers, and is your index finger or ring finger

longer? No, they're about they're even okay, all right, good you're not a psychopath. That's a story out of Canada about that, so all right, good job, okay, all right, hey, yeah, there you go, Jeff Ellinger not a psychopath and team sketcher. So you got that craziness man. Speaking of craziness, the folks up in New Jersey within the New Jersey State Park System, have announced a new mask requirement for several of their inside I guess National Park or nash or at national parkscuse me,

State Park and or state memorials. This would include as you go down the list, let's see the New Jersey New Jersey National Parks. Sorry, scroll right past the list here. Well, anyway, there's a handful of them, including at New Jersey National Park, which is his own thing, and the Sandy Hook Visitors Center. Yo, don't I don't want to be that guy. You you're requiring people to wear masks to the Sandy Hook Visitors Center. Do you like do you know what Lanza was wearing? You wear do

was wearing a mask? So there's that, Just so you know, I'm just throwing it out there something to think about. I mean, those are the faux pause that the other way around, people will be the media'd be losing their damn minds over. Also, not to be outdone, you hear at the state of Georgia dead. If you got a stone mountain, you gotta wear a COVID hood right, craziness man, and then you can journal all of it in your new iPhone feature. So this is perfect for you

since your now psychopath coardy Canadian researchers. So what if this new feature showed up after an update? It's a journal, which is not an unuseful thing, but once it's like they want a whole dear diary thing. Yeah. I just woke up this morning and it's part of an updated is on my home screen. Yeah, and they like journal. I'm like, what's this is? Like? Tell everything that happened in your day. I'm like,

nice, try fed. There's no way I murdered a drifter with my k bar well, and then when that wasn't enough, I murdered another drifter with the long pole thing you used to tram bushes. It's been a busy day. The best part though, is after all that my back felt fight. Well that's I mean, that's what's important because of these amazing New Balance shoes. It's great, it's good for your sciatica. Did you want him to be on Team Sketcher or New Balance. I'm just shocked that he that he

knew what it was. Why would you be shocked? I mean, you've never heard of shoes, Casey, that's fair. Yeah, that's big shoe propaganda right there. Man, tell they get you. And then you know also with like glass on the ground, you're like, ah, I guess I need shoes or another tetnis shot. All right, there you go plenty to think about while you huddle inside for warmth with your children because apparently they can't go to school on time. So yay for that. See you back here tomorrow. Have a good one.
