Just waiting for something to load. Something I just laid eyes upon this morning, and I gotta tell you, I got some questions, and I think that's how we're going to kick off the show today. Wait, what is this? All right? Why don't you have so and so? You know what, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it at all. Sorry to send somebody finally sent an answer to but I thought was a very important question that they needed an answer to within, like you know, before close

a business. And then I see that they're writing me at three in the morning. All right, very good. So how many of you are into cars? How many of you are really into cars? Maybe you had, maybe you were for part of your life, maybe you were less. So I got a bunch of friends that are like super into cars. And that's cool, man, that's a great passion. I was. I was more so into it when I was like when I was a kid, when I was in high school. But I think you needed a hobby. And also

back when I was in high school, it was really crazy. So you could you could without being a master mechanic with you know, one hundred thousand and tech year, you could work on your vehicle and when I say work on it, I mean I was a high school kid and we swapped transmissions out. We took you know, three fifties, it was Chevy's primarily three fifties, and we could take them apart, put them back together, and

they'd run reasonably and gone are those days. So I think to some extent I felt a little out of love, which is interesting because obviously I didn't have access to, you know, a full time job income, so we kind of had to make do and go to mister rs and you know, which was a rocking yard where you could buy parts and put together some Frankenstein's of vehicles. But we had some fun ones. Well, we did My Buddy Boone Roads truck was great. We I took an old It was me

and a couple buddies. We got an old Ford F one one hundred. Do you remember when the body and the cab didn't have a separator, so this is that this back in the sixties, and we put we got a hold of a four to twenty nine police interceptor that we put in there, and that was a badass truck. All of this is to say there was a period of my life when I was really into vehicles, And nowadays I have some friends that are like really really really really into vehicles and like try

like they have some favorites. Man. And the reason I'm laying this out for you this morning is not because I wanted to in any way, shape or form brag. I'm not a master mechanic or somebody. I'm just I was just a boored kid who was like, hey, what if we put this ridiculous engine in this light body pickup truck and even have to customize a Ford nine inch onto the truck to basically keep because the other one blew out?

Like I was super into all that stuff, And I never had sex with the car, okay, or the truck in this instance, Like you hear me talk about it, I'm really excited. I missed that truck. That thing was going to kill me. And in fact, the dude I sold it to, I think he wrecked it in like six months, but I never hooked up with it. And this is an important distinction that I didn't know I was going to have to make Kinston, North Carolina. An

elderly woman. There are so many questions here. An elderly woman says a man has been using her car and to hook up with for three years. Okay, Kinston, we're all gonna learn a new word. You ready for this? Kinston police on Monday arrested Walter McCrae for activity related to mechanophilia. That's a thing. Raise your hand if you had ever heard the term mechanophilia,

right, there's a there's a there's a clinical term for this. And I don't just mean some of you who are like way too into your car, Like, yeah, how many of you have shoes off rule in your house? You ever met somebody who has a shoes off rule in a car? I have? He really liked that car, just fine, it's his car. Never for a moment assumed that I might walk in on him and uh his scat packed dodge and uh see him getting intimate. This is a

whole new thing for me. Maybe there's just nothing to do in Kinston, which I know is not true. They had the rest, they got the great restaurant down there. Yeah, I got the the the the little tourist trap thing going on there, but it's nice. The eighty two year old victim tells w I a t N. She doesn't know McCrae and says her car has also been used as an outhouse because I guess the car is uh, you know, is into some weird stuff, probably had daddy issue,

I don't know, don't know. But also three years. I then the number is important here, three years. Three years knowing that while you're sitting in your house, some lunatic is showing up and hooking up with your buick or whatever. And I know that, I know it says here that it's a you know, it's an elderly woman, and I don't know what kind

of support her family she has around her. But three years quote, I thought something was happening from under the hood of my car, because whenever he would come up here, he would use the hood to relieve himself, or at least that's what she thought. In fact, it would run all down, and I thought it was something with the car. So I took the car to the shop multiple times. Ooh, how'd you like to be that mechanic finally figuring out what it is? How'd you like to be that mechanic

who's had this sweet little old lady come in three times. You're like, ma'am, there's nothing wrong with your car. After you put your grubbies all over. It probably did that thing that guys do where you open the hood of a vehicle and you put your hand up on the top of the hood. You're kind of leaning over giving your diagnosis. Well, it was then, according to rest warrants, that they determined that you know, what might be up, and eventually they put cameras out to try to catch what was

happening. Initially they did catch one video where they realized the dude was literally hooking up with the vehicle and then for the finale would then get up on top of the hood and yeah, but she said to man also noticed her cans, but by then it was too late. Police say that they came they on Monday, took the you know, the recordings, and there you

go. They got pictures in video. He's facing five stocking and five or five felony stocking counts, five counts of damage to property three years, three years when you know your creepy neighbors coming by and have it again. I don't know what kind of support she had around here, but also I hate that this is a clinical thing, mechanoffhilia, and that I know that now do you know what is tragically missing? From this story, I think you

can probably figure it out. What's she driving? She got like a Bugatti or what? All right, Ross, end times every bod he's gone, right, you're you're basically that dude in the Twilight Zone episode with the now you got time to read we talked about the other day, But you crave a relationship? Is there a particular make or model that maybe you're looking into? And these since you're the only person left the Lambeau for the kids, it's for the kids, man, I don't well, I guess all the

kids are gone in this scenario. So all right, Ross is going Lambeau, but he doesn't say what this woman's driving, and I have some questions. But also three years, three years peking peeking out your you know, your lace curtains there watching you know, Wheel of Fortune or I'm sorry, I'm not trying to generalize people who are in their eighties, but there is

a lot of Wheel of Fortune watching. We have the numbers right, and you're just trying to you know, you're just trying to figure out why Bill from Pittsburgh's an idiot who doesn't understand that that's a you know, the phrase from a TV show what a more on? And while you're concerning yourself with that idiot, you look out your window and there's your neighbor doing only fans with your car. What the hell is going on in Kinston? All right?

Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four yep, with all the stuff going on in all the world and all the news, that's the one that I got sent eight copies of. And so many of you are fascinated as well, but not in a good way, in a why do I have to know that mcan affilia is a thing? And do you have to be a mechanic? I guess not. Doesn't say he is, so I think maybe even that term would be mildly misleading. All right, coming up on the show, let's see here, all right, So we are

we are dangerously close to getting into idiocracy. Maybe not to the full extent with Brondo and everything, but it's like every day we're like, what can we do to be less intellectually taxing on people? Oh? Hey, I know the irony here is it's actually a brilliant marketing thing. So I'll explain what's up there. We'll speculate on what's up with Roy Cooper and the Prime Minister of Japan. They got a thing this week. I have some thoughts. Now what is this hold on? You know, there are days I

love listening to the show first singing the morning. There are days I regret listening. Can you guess what this morning is? I would think that this is a good day. You know, that's not a situation most people have to deal with, at least that I know of. I mean, yeah, you get down around Myrtle Beach. There's a guy who will keep hooking up with your horse, even after going to jail a few times. Same horse loves that horse. But that's Myrtle. But you know, you don't.

You don't expect this. You don't think you're a hot new you know, insert whatever. You know. You don't go out and be like, ah, I got me on, look at this. I finally I finally decided to embrace my my rich a hole and uh look I got an M five. And then every morning you come out, you're like, is that pollen on the hood? Oh that's another thing. That's another thing. How would you know right now? But if we're getting you know, we're getting

technical. Remember that site in South Carolina, that candidate who thought that the KKK was putting stuff on her car and it turned out to be Polland oh yeah, I remember that lifelong resident of South just across the border in South Carolina. She knows it's polland she knows what happens, and yet you know it was some sort of hate crime. Well, I present to you, ma'am, this, this is the actual version of that. So you chicken little when and this woman is just living in hell for three U three.

Well, also, what if you need to run an errand what if she got a doctor's appointment and you go out and you're like, car's not ready anyway? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Holy cow, that's a story this morning. So there you go. You're very welcome. And I don't know, maybe somebody's really into cars. You're like, nas is normal, this is this is not a new thing. Then you can you can expound upon that. So we'll get into it. Happy Wednesday.

More to come, cac O Day Radio program. CaCO Day Radio program where you know we're staying on top of what's going on in Kingston. Very important. We have a few listeners down that away signal reaches, So glad you're along and glad you don't own a Burgundy two thousand and night Toyota Avalon. Apparently one of your neighbors has some thoughts. I'll tell you who doesn't have any thoughts. Although I can't decide. Oh you know what, Actually,

I'm gonna full circle this story with the other story. But I was just gonna I was just gonna, don let's figure out which of these two women is the dumbest. And it's gonna be between Sonny houstin from the View and everybody's favorite soon to be former Houston area lawmaker Sheila Jackson Lee she Jack as you know her here on the show. Who I mean, we have a classic she jack library here in the in the Computator and in fact,

let me let me just play you some of the hits. How's that because there's there's lots to choose from, and and holy crap, are they amazing? Like let's see here do do Do do? Do? You know? The short and the sweet ones? I am outraged? All right, A little voice inflection there kind of makes it funny, but that's that's not fair that you know she's outraged. She's outraged. Come on, Casey, all right, Well, let's talk about I don't know her superhero origin story,

shall we? And it's a doozy. Maybe he is no better than the immigrant that came in shackles like myself. I'm sorry the what think they can't? Okay, all right, I didn't realize that was the thing. Or how about during a committee hearing. How about during a committee hearing the correction that she issues when literally they're just talking about what is a huge problem, uh, all the way up the eastern seaboard, parts of Alaska too,

and that is the decimation of our fisheries industry. And you know that is that is a a political football man, whether it's going back under Barack Obama where they're created. We're creating the largest national park and it just happens to be this giant swath of ocean that we tried to regulate. You not able to fish, but now if we do this, then you can't. And she offered this corrections. Yeah, it's not oystermen, it's oyster persons.

Okay. And then my personal favorite, and for any of you Vietnam War era vets, you'll appreciate this. Today we have two Vietnams side by side, North and South exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. And my favorite

one, but he doesn't have audio. My favorite Shila Jackson Lee dumb moment story is when and you remember she she repped Houston or reps Houston and Houston has uh the uh you know, the space NASA control center, right, So they had her down there and they were showing her this is this, this is how the story was reported. So she and there's members of the

media there, there's a bunch of muckety much from NASA. I'm sure there's some other lawmakers and uh, they're they're walking her through, giving her the big VIP tour and they are showing her the command center for the Mars Rover, which you know, it's pretty cool, right, Hey, you want to drive the Mars rover. Who's turning that down? Oh my gosh. If you're the dude, that dude from the Kingston story, I I don't even want to think what you want to do with the Mars rovers, sir.

But anyway back to this, and so they were I don't know if they offered a let her like do it, you know, punch a button like a kid or something or what. But she had asked whether the rover it was if they could drive the rover to the Armstrong flag? Do you want to drive the Mars rover to the flag that was planted by Neil Armstrong? BI is the mathmath? I know it's early, but one's the moon,

one's the uh yeah. And by the way, as we'll come to find out in this segment, the Neil Armstrong thing that's that may all be b us. We'll wait for that, all right. So that's Sheila Jackson Lee. She's she's got some oldies but some goodies, and she's gonna be one of our contestants on who's a bigger idiot? And then the other one will be Sunny haustin from the view. And that audio cuts the deuce and I, you know, I got this other story about how scrabble is making

scrabbles issuing an idiot version? Did you know this? And I was I was getting ready to go on this rant about how stupid this is, and I will explain why. But now I realize why. I guess they're gonna Mattel's gonna lean into the the morons because there's more of them than I ever realized, just saying something. All right, So all in due time on that. Let's get into the Sheila Jackson audio. And here we are, we're talking talk about the moon, baby, speaking of the moon, speaking

of the moon. Well, if you're Hank Johnson, you're probably feeling good. You're not in on this. So Sheila Jackson lee is she's is this a high school? Don't even know who what she's speaking at, just because she's on like a running track or whatever, I guess she's she's speaking at a high school. Yeah, here we goes this was part of the eclipse being part. I couldn't decide if it was a high school or middle school. So it was a high school, all right. And so she is

shaping young minds. Talking. The topic is the celestial bodies. Please, if you would, sitting member of Congress, tell us more just provide unique light and energy the sun so that you have the energy of the moon at night. Yeah. And sometimes you've heard the word full moon. Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon. Is that complete rounded circle that has made up mostly of gases? Web sir? What and that's why the question. The question is why or how could

we as humans live on the moon. Well, okay, I'm sorry, and I will I will replay this thing in its entirety. So a A A an inquiring young mind asked a sitting member of Congress, who is there speaking to him? That's you know, it's pretty exciting when you're in a high school. I guess. Yeah, so you realize a bunch of dirtbaks we've elected into Washington and so you I don't know that to the test scores at this school, but I gotta think most of the kids now realize that

this is a moron. You've brought a moron. All right, tell us more about our gases moon, which I guess debunks the Armstrong flag, because how you're going to get a flag the standing gas right, jet fuel won't met still beams, and you can't plan a flag on a gas celestial body. There you go. I'm an Internet conspiracy theorist. I'm sorry. Let's get back to this cringey moment. Provide unique light and energy so that you have the energy of the moon at night, and sometimes you've heard the word

full moon. Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon? Is that complete rounded circle which is made up more see of gases. And that's why the question, the question is why or how could we as humans live on the moon. Are the gases such that we could do that? The Sun is a mighty powerful heat and it's almost impossible to go near the sun. The moon is more manageable. How would

the moon be more manageable if it's made of gas? That's it? Which, by the way, the sun is you know, I didn't make your gases argument, but the moon. Ye. Are people that summertimes go out and look at the full moon and they become wolves and we call these people were wolves. Amer concerned about them, but they're not wearing anything. The sun is so hot. We cannot go on the sun. We cannot go on the sun, even even in the dead of winter because it's still hot.

People vote for this, ye, people have voted for her numerous times. How is this even possible? Like eight or nine times? Right? More than that, I don't Maybe you just don't want the stupidity to end. Look, maybe you know the district she sits in. It's it's it's a you know, it's a heavy d district. So maybe they just assumed, hey, you know what, uh, let's just let's just do it for the for the lolls, right, which is kind of like the partially

the Jesse vent turevo. Maybe people watch this stuff and they're like, how could we not have this woman sitting around like she's you know, like like she's smarter than us, explaining about the moon being made of gases, which, by the way, gas cheese. That's some science I'm I'm willing to invest in, all right, So that's pretty dumb, right, And on a normal day, on a normal day, I think that would be the dumbest piece of audio we have on a normal day. But today's not a

normal day. It's a competitive day. So here we go Gladiator number two into the arena. Sunny Houstin Hostin however, you say her name from the view who took a trend we saw yesterday and you know where you had like NBC New York like does the earthquake related to climate change? Right? Took that stupidity and went, you know what, I'm doubling down. You know,

no, I'm tripling down on this. So here we go. Here is Sonny Houstin who is in real time being fact checked even with its if it's just their eyes by all the rest of these idiots at the table and not coming out on top, please give us your hot take and listen to Whoopee trying to talk about anything but this. I mean, I have to say, Karen Depice are one, oh my God, for makeup artists. When the earthquake was happening, she put her coat on and she was like,

Jesus has come. I'm now, I'm I'm out, I'm leaving. We've got a solar eclipse, We've got random the hallway there are here. And then also I learned that the cicadas are coming. Cicadas cicadas the first time in No No, and by the way they're they're trying to do it from an affection standpoint, but they're clearly they're clearly a they're clearly mocking this woman, or at least they're mocking people who believe what this woman believes.

Right with their makeup artists, I know, slightly tongue in cheek, but I think if they were in a room just the you know, just like two of them, and they you heard what they really thought of it, it wouldn't be very pleasant. So understand them thinking that their makeup artist is a misinformed idiot. Okay, and let's continue. Two different Well, this is what I read, two different times, different kinds of different times.

Times are coming for the first time in many many years, every seventeen years has happened. Well that's not what I read. But maybe you know, maybe you know better. They're literally the brudes. Do you know what their names are? Numbers? Their names are numbers that are the number of years

that they just stayed in the ground. But she read something in a way say all those all those things together, what maybe lead one to believe that, you know, either climate change exists or something is more's quite not at the mercy of climate change, it's not found. Then think that it happens in the eclipse. They've known about the eclipse coming because eclipses happened, and they actually can say when these things are going to happen. So all these

folks who are saying, you know, it's a sign from God. God doesn't give you warning, all right, So and again they're they're hung up on the God part of this. Your co host just said, or just explain that she thinks that the following things are the result of climate change. Soicatas that we've never seen before apparently or you know once like, uh we have we have seen we haven't seen them since they fell from the sky in Egypt. That's true. Yeah, maybe you read something more than I did.

I'm not sure. You probably read something I didn't read. But also yeah, well if you if you read something well and I kind of walked over what piece a little comment in there? Did you catch that? I know you gought it because oh no, it's such a great moment. Yeah, because you know, Sunny Hosting goes, well, maybe you've read something I ever read, and he goes, well, yeah kind of yeah, and in a way, so uh so, uh Sicata's climate change. Just

I don't want to make sure I have this clear. Socicata's climate change, earthquakes, climate change? And how does she also not know? Can you imagine the amount of which cred that this woman would think you're capable of if you literally just plotted out and predicted eclipses like I believe that we'll have another one in five years in May, And she's like, ah, you're a you know, it's probably try to burn you at the stake, not realizing

you know, we got math here. So in one diatribe of a minute, she chalks eclipses, earthquakes and scatas as she calls them up to up to climate change. How do you pick a winner here? I mean, you're a special kind of stupid if you've lost to Wiopi Goldberg and Joy Bahar. Yeah. But Sheila Jackson Lee, though it's tough, all right, Hey, all right, you want to make it tougher, Sheila Jackson Lee,

and thank you for reminding me of this. One of her congressional assignments for the majority of her congressional career was a ranking member on the House Committee of Science, Space and Technology. She's the highest ranking Democrat on Science, Space and Technology. And she thinks the moon is made of gas. I saw some people think she's like, oh, well she was. Yeah. They were trying to explain away what she told the kids, and it's like,

it's just not happening. But it is damn entertaining. The problem is it's real and not a far superior version of basically what they're just saying. Should I rub pig's blood around the door if it's lamb's blood sir, obviously you don't love your kids if you're not getting this right. So at least the oldest all right, six point fifty hang on CODA radio program a Wednesday edition where we're having an idiot off today. So that's fun. No,

you don't have to be dumb to participate. You just have to be equally as amused you encounter it, like when a decades long member of Congress wants to tell you about how the moon's mostly gas or or already on the flip side, a TV host wants to tell you that cicadas, eclipses, and earthquakes are climate change connected. It's really hard to pick a winner, and I'm going to make it even more complex here in a moment, but let me grab a call real quick. Sarah, thanks for hanging on. What's

up? Hi? So I wanted to comment on the moron that was talking about the moon, all right? That would be the congresswoman talking about the book. Yes, yes, yes, yes, So I couldn't help. But think of Bobby Bouche's mom when you were telling that whole segment. I think Bobby Bouchet's mom had some good advice. I don't feel that this woman

dies. She just loved her so right, this this woman is Yeah, so like I can forgive the one and to be fair, that girl, that girl did look like trouble, right, you would agree, true? True, yeah very much? All right? Yeah yeah, so all right, thanks for to call there, Sarah. Yeah, I can't. I can't. That's not fair. Ross you think that's fair throwing Bobby Bouchet's poor loving mother in with this this idiot. I mean, I gotta give it

to Sarah. It's hilarious. Yeah, eclipses other devil, Bobby Bouchet it right, But Sakata is a John Saccatta Cicada. Sakata is there all the devil Bobby love it. Yeah, but like you could, you could scientifically explain why eclipses are not climate change related the devil thing. That's an open ended question, you know what I'm saying, Right, that depends on your faith. But no, that is a is a good comparison. Uh and you know what, I'm gonna throw one other in here. This is so

bad. I just retweeted this. Did you see the photograph that the US Navy's Uh I guess it was under in Instagram? Yeah, so the US Navy just they just posted a picture trying to look for rank in this photo? Is that the CEO? That is the CEO of the ship. So they posted a photo and even if you're not a gun guy, you're gonna figure this out in two seconds. They posted a photo of uh, you

know, one of their one of their ship captains. He is on deck and he's got himself a he's got himself a rifle, right, and it's that he's firing the rounds and you can actually see the shell casings ejecting into the air above it, and he's kind of firing out. I don't know if he's firing it at a a Somali pirates, Iranian Iranian Iranian, a hole or a sea turtle, say hear pop kidding? All right, maybe

the sea turtle should have been trying to eat those straws. I don't know the problem is, and I have I have an abundant amount of questions. One the way that he's holding that weapon. I do like the hand on his shoulder for support kind of coming in from off there. And two that scopes backwards. Yeah, he was firing at the eclipse revers it so we didn't burn out his eyes you know what. Now, I feel like the

dumb one not knowing that. Right, So if you backwards mount your scope and then you can look at the eclipse and it won't be a problem. Is that Is that your advice from doctor Hayes this morning? Because I feel like that's not good advice. I feel like that's still gonna be a problem. But you're the highest ranking officer on this ship and you are like you ever looked into a scope backwards or a scope or something, maybe if you've

never shot a gun. You're put binoculars backwards. Everyone knows what happens. You immediately know, and then they put it out as some sort of like, I guess, in a recruitment effort, like hey, look how cool this is. You can stand on the deck and shoot at the eclipse with him. We're surrounded by stupid. So now the scrabble thing it makes sense. I wonder how many eyeballs went on that because you think, oh,

this guy took the picture, he just loaded the instant. No no, no, no, no, no, that's not how government bureaucracy works. That photo. The number of eyeballs it had to be on that thing before it got posted and nobody went, wait, what's how what that looks dumb?

Let's take another never cross anyone's mind. And that guy's in charge of where they're going, what they're you know, not running into I'm sure, I'm sure he's a fine dude and probably didn't want to do the photo the photo shoot anyway, and he's walked down, so we handed them the rifle. He popped off a few rounds, walked off, probably didn't even glance

down the scope. But still, come on, because now you're like, that's the guy driving the boat due when you're making the Marines that you're driving around nervous. Come on, man. So I retweeted that at Casey on the radio, all right, oh we gotta all right, so Wesley wants to cast a vote on our stupid off. Yes, Wesley, what's up? Hey? How you doing today? Casey? I mean, we're a nation being run by idiots. But other than that, sir, go ahead.

Absolutely, the fact that the that the view is still on the air with with people like this, that I think that they have important information to give to anyone is beyond me. And I just wanted to say that when she broke in and said God given you warning. He's given us the warning right now. They're the warning, do not listen to these people, turn

away from that crap and search for the truth. I mean, yeah, well, don't listen to them for truth, sir, but feel free to listen to him in the same way you'd stare at a car wreck on the way to work this morning. So oh absolutely, I'm driving the beltline right now, and I'm just hoping that maybe one of these scruble will take me

out so I don't have to hear this crap anymore. Yeah, well, come on, sir, don't take because I feel you're telling people to turn the show off, and now I have to let you go, So all right, don't do that. They'll listen. Wesley's Wesley's a new contestant and our dumb off because he just told you to turn the show off. And you should never do that. What you should do is rush out to get the new scrabble scrabble again. Scrabble is a game that is inherently waited,

already waited already in that way. It's it's it's a perfectly adaptable game. Your five year olds, they may not want to because they're five, but feasibly they can have a functional, weighted game of scrabble with each other in the same way that two English professors over at NC State could, right, because it's not about it's not about the totality of possibilities. It's in the in the sense that you know, some super hard word, may you may

just be able to spin it into existence or roll some dice. That's not how scrabble works. You get the letters and then whatever you bring to the party, brain wise, spelling wise, that's what you're expected to use. And then the other person can call you on it and you can't check. And you know how scrabble works. It ain't broken, but apparently it is. And I think that this is Mattel sitting there going how do we sell to idiots? And people went, well, let's make a game that is

for idiots, and then the idiots will want to play it. So that's what they're doing. For the first time. It's seventy five years. Mattel will be making major changes, offering a version of Scrabble that they tout as a no more scoring gameplay option. We'll now wait a second, you don't have to score. Now, there's not the score police don't show up. If you just want to casually play through the letters and have a little time with you know, whoever you're playing with, that's fine, you can do

that. The new double sided version of the game will include one side with the original game for those who you know want to play scrabble, and on the other side will be a less competitive version that they say will appeal to gen z gamers. How insulting for you. The flip side called Scrabble Together will include helper cards. Come on, what is a helper card? Car? What could you put on a card that is not literally just the answers, but it would have to be customized based on the letters you have in

your in your collection. There, So, what does the helper card do? Is it just like a written version of like the celebrity Jeopardy things where they're you know, tribec or I guess Will Ferrell's like, just make a sound, just make a sack, because it feels like that. The scoring system will be simpler, it'll be quicker to play and allow people to play

in teams. All right, here we go, Giles Brandreth. This dude's British all day, Giles Brandreth. Anyway, let's see, he says, scrabble found the younger people, specifically gen Z don't like the competitive nature of scrabble. That's because we're breeding competition out of everybody. Everybody gets a trophy. Let's not keep score. Yeah you did well, but this person didn't. And even though it was a fair thing and we used to know how to deal with us, you should apologize. Of course, they don't want

anything to do with scrabble with competitive scorekeeping. Uh. And use the word diversity in here somewhere, hold on, I scrabbled together continues to celebrate the wonder of words, but thanks to exciting new, cooperative and dynamic. So that's what that's what this is about. They've realized, or at least they're they're convinced that a there is a whole swath of people that unless there's five of them working together, can't spell a word. Naysayers on social media started

referring to it as scrabble for snowflakes. It woke scrabble, Yeah yeah, because it kind of sounds like that. And you referred to it as quote a more inclusive version. That's the word they use. Inclusive. You know, like people are sitting down to scrabble right now, they get out the rules and they're like, oh, I'm sorry, John, you can't play with us, says right here, it says no black people. No, it doesn't. It's scrabble. You can. There's not an inclusivity issue.

The only people who could feel is though, if you get the Scrabble out that it's not inclusive, are native Russian speakers or any of the Asian languages that utilize their own alphabets, right because you are restricted to you know, the standard twenty six letter alphabet. There's no cyrillic in there. But I but you know they have versions. They have a Russian version of this.

Uh, what is the Chinese version? Well, they probably use the simplified alphabet because if not, the box would be that it looks like a car would be in it. Oh, that's interesting. So the release of the new Scrabble will take place strictly in Europe at first, because Mattel actually licenses the Scrabble Branda Hasbro, and Hasbro wants to see how Mittel's release goes there. New research found that almost half of Scrabble players have attempted to make up

a new word to try to win a game. Yeah, that's but that's part of the game, right Again, you don't have to change anything here. But I think they realize, Hey, if we're going to do a version for stupid people, but will make it sound like it's fun and not wildly insulting on how much we're dumbing it down, then the stupid people will come because haha, they're stupid. In fact, Sheila Jackson Lee just bought three copies, so there you go. It worked. Yeah, John,

what's up? I do them? You know everyone's getting dumbers, so I feel better. Everyone's getting stupid around me. Well, I have to take a sense with something. You guys are being disingenuous about the wonderful, intelligent, audible Shoela Jackson Lee. Okay, she said you can go close to the moon. You go close to the moon. What's the part she left out is it has to be at nighttime, and if you go during the winter time, the nights are longer. She can spend more time there.

I mean, I think that her car ally g and buzz Alder and I think they laid that out for us. Sir, Well, you do have a point, But she was talking about going at nighttime just remember allocating where all of the tech money went for space travel. Anyway, go ahead, I was saying. On another note, a dad joke for you about the Moon. Do you hear about the restaurant on the Moon? Is it? Okay? No? No, I didn't go ahead, all right, great

restaurant in horrible atmosphere, dad joke for you. Well, how does the how does how are they able to build a restaurant on gas? Or? Hey, are you in the construction industry? Are you an't? Don't tell anybody, it's the secret. Okay, all right, get out here, sir. That's I mean, that's what I'd be wondering. I guess maybe you get whatever they were using on the ad of the Avatar movies to make the islands float. Yeah, space you can do that. You just grab

onto this stuff, all right. So Sheila Jactually Sunny Austin. We got the videos at Casey on the Radio. If you go to Casey on the Radio dot com, aget the shoe jack video embedded on the website, but also we've tweeted out links and then you can see the naval officer with the radical issue the scope. How does the scope even end up on backwards on a on a service weapon in a military setting, or is that that's is

that some prank? Is that some you know, behind the scenes military prank where you jack with another guy's rifle and make sure you use the term rifle because that is for shooting and not gun, which is for fun, as I think that many of you have probably learned. So there you go. I'll put all three of those folks in. You can figure out who the I give. Again, I'm gonna give the Navy guy the fact the benefit of the doubt that he walked up to do a photo op he didn't want

to do. Somebody handed him a rifle. He went blam blam. They got the photo and then he walked off, you know, to do ship captain stuff. But still not a good look man, all right? Seven to twenty three? Hang on, dude, this is just this is so uncomfortable. Man, all right, but we have to give it a mention. So Ben affleck Mary do j lo. I guess again, any who was hold on, I go figure out which grandfather it is, if it's

his dad, or here we go. So it was, oh, okay, so it was service for Jennifer Garner's father, his ex Okay, all right, all right, So anyway, this is Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, you know, their middle child. Obviously they're no longer together. He's with j Lo. I don't get it. I think Garner's better, but

whatever. The fifteen year old, their middle child, was at the funeral with the family for the late William Garner, Jennifer Garner's father, and as part of the service, stepped forward at fifteen to address those in attendance, which you know, for a fifteen year old, so I'd be pretty daunting,

especially in that scenario. Let's see, the fifteen year old, known as Sarah Fina Rose, took the opportunity not to talk about her grandfather who had passed away, which brought about this memorial service, but rather to use the opportunity to come out as transgender at the funeral during their portion of the eulogy. Hi, my name is Finn Affleck, the teen said, after stepping up to the lectern at the service, Finn talked about how they are

transgender now identify as I believe they them. Again, this is a eulogy with a bunch of people in a service, many of them emotionally taxed, to say the very least, just trying to make the best of the situation, which in the long run, you know, you can find cathartic, but at the time as an emotional roller coaster. And Affleck even went so far as to pull Bible verses in support of the New Life decision, including the beginning to read a Bible verse. Better is a little with righteousness than

a large income with injustice? And yeah, who does this? There's two things that I will never understand. One people go to a funeral and turn it into a not a funeral, right, so it can be like this, which I just can't wrap my head around. It could be like we talked about the Paul well stone that said the former senator in Minnesota, or the funeral that was you know, given free airtime on all the TV networks,

turned into a Democrat rally. Right, But like that, even that's more understanding to me because those people are just slugs and they can't help it. This is a fifteen year old who stepped forward to tell everyone their their news. And then the other one is people who go to other people's weddings to announce their own. I've never actually seen it, but you know, I see it show up on social media, so I know it's happening.

Also, Jennifer Lopez, one of Lopez's twins I believe is transgender. So already the percentage of transgender kids in that household, is it like twenty five percent or something. That's amazing. And in fact, if you go into West Hollywood, all of these stars kids go, it's like a third of the a third of the schools or LGBT. So that's weird. Huh weird how that all masks together in that area. But holy crap, man,

how do you decide that that. I guess you do it because you're fifteen, and when you're fifteen, ever, whatever you're dealing with, whatever your thing is, is the most important thing in the world. I was a fifteen year old. I know how the brain works. But even then, I can't imagine hijacking a loved one's funeral for my own thing, like do it at the mixer after or something. But ah, just gross, man,

But there you go, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four dude, Speaking of some political nimrods, Things going well within our various divisions of government, including at the Department of Interior, who arguably has a lot going on as the Biden administration. One of the things they immediately did is basically undoe the Trump administration from I don't know, listening to the people who live in these areas. Let me tell you, let

me tell you the greatest, my greatest beef. And you can localize this beef as well. But this is my version of it, right because you can localize this as a lifelong resident of Derrick County with a bunch of people who never go to the beach telling you what to do. All right,

they can be frustrated to understand it. But let me tell you when you live out west, especially when you live out out west in the open, the wide open areas lands that in many cases it is the very families that continue to work it today, like my family who can trace their lineage back to the settlement of you know, the wild West man and the utilization of those lands which initially there was there was rules and people homesteaded accordingly, and

then the federal government came in and basically took a bunch of it back. Later after the human shields that were Western settlers in that area did all the heavy lifting of essentially, you know, putting together, putting together these huge swaths of land and limiting the native's influence over it. That's what they used homesteaders for. Case you're wondering along the trails, the Bozeman, the Oregon and you know many others probably never heard of. That was the reasoning there.

That's why they built these forts. Okay, and ever since then, listening to bureaucrats in Washington come out and go, I think this fifty thousand acres that we just want the we just don't like drilling, so we're gonna make it undrillable. We're gonna make this a protected park. And then everybody who lives in that area is like, dude, because this is in Utah we're talking about with barriers. If you go to Utah, Southern Utah has

nine National parks or monuments, I believe it's nine. No, it's nine. With this, they had eight, and there's some of the most amazing things you'll ever see. If you'd never if you ever go anywhere, even being a Wyoming guide, I want you to go to Yellowstone. But if that, if you have the time, you should do Yellowstone. You should do Glacier to Yellowstone to Bryce Canyon. So that'll get you Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah, excuse me, perfectly doable, and you can

go. You can make the Grand Canyon the final thing. And then along that way, along that route you got you know, you go to Mount Rushwarts along the way, Grand Tetons are on the way. You got options. Obviously Utah has got many men the other options. Go do that. But the big open areas in the middle where mostly it's cows, and then mostly it's not cows, just wide open space. That's not what that is.

That's not what you need to be out there protecting. So as the Biden administration is working on re implementing the thing the Obama administration did that nobody in the area wanted, and the Trump administration did undo for a little while, that's not seemingly the core focus over at the Department of Interior, and in fact, a leaked video of one of their gatherings is it's a doozy man. It is an absolute dude. And by the way, there will

even be tears, emotional tears. So coming up here in just a few we will listen in as part of the Department of Interiors ALLY Awards. Yes, the federal agency has their her own ALLY Awards. These are awards for diversity, equity and inclusion items. So it's the WOKE awards put on by the Department of the Interior. And just wait for it, man, it's it's coming up. But first race stage A key's here, Hello, and he's gonna make it yeal with a little rain. But yeah, not for

long. So no in and out. One batch she's coming through. Just getting ready. If you're not in it yet, Winston Salem, you will be in the next hour, Greensboro. Then across the triangle, I've got this one round of shower start to come in this afternoon. I might see some thunderstorms. We're gonna do this like in batches or in rounds. We get this kind of little main small piece to come out ahead of the main line most of the afternoon. We've actually end up more spotty than anything else.

And then as we head through the overnight hours tonight and then through tomorrow morning, another batch of rain and thunderstorms to come on, and there could be some strong storms in some spots. Looks like the worst of it's going to be about ten Tomorrow morning until early afternoon and then tapering off a little bit, just isolated showers and utter showers, So a little unsettled over the next couple of days. Today's highs likely in the mid upper seventies, Tomorrow

in the low seventies. It'll be a little breezy, even outside of thunderstorms. That's will continue into Thursday night, but the sun's going to be back,

and I think I started mentioning this yesterday. Once we get into Friday, although a little breezy, it's going to be sunny in near seventy, then a long run of sunshine that will likely take us through Saturday, Sunday Monday, maybe even longer with a warm up Saturday load to mid seventies, could crack eighty maybe the low eighties Sunday load of mid eighties on Monday, so starting to get into the multiple day in a row thing of eighty plus

degree temperatures right into maybe even Tuesday of next week. So I had at least plan on some wet weather today tonight and on into tomorrow and Tomorrow night, most of it coming tomorrow and tomorrow night, and then some great weather. The payoff is going to be fantastic. Now for Augusta, the update from where we were yesterday does not look like we're gonna have all day rain.

However, thank you. The line of showers and the heaviest rain and thunderstorms goes through and by you know, eight or nine o'clock most of it's done and just some spotty showers thunder showers for the rest of the day. So maybe a little delay and getting started, but I think for the most part, once you get through tomorrow morning, things improving and some beautiful weather for Augusta for the rest of the weekend. What do you think Tiger's chances

are. I saw that Zero wrote a whole piece and they're like, get over it, and I'm like, I don't know. I used to think that, and then what he won with like four years ago. Nah, Dad, it's over. Yeah he did. But I I think it's a technical course. Man, it's not you know, this isn't bad age, right, Yeah, I don't do I think he makes the cut. I would bet that he probably does, but I mean, I don't think he's gonna win, So I don't know. I'm just that So I'm asking because

they the New York Post thing, I read this morning. They were just a brutal on the guy, and I'm like, were they? Yeah, I don't know. Somebody showed up drunk and won the open, So all right that ended? Why right? Yeah? Yeah? I love that guy,

all right. And I also love the memes for the you know, there's that there's that Tiger, and there's that's that picture, the famous photo of Tiger Woods on the putting green with John Daly and Tiger's dressed in his like country club best and Daily's wearing those the really loud shirts and pants, smoking a cigar. He can tell he's probably a little lit. And they had it, said m C State and Duke going back to the that game a few weeks ago, and I thought, no, that's that's perfect.

I'll let you guess who NC State is. All right, thank you, Tiger hater, get out of here, all right, all right, there you go. All right, So I did the big setup up on the Department of Interior, and trust me, the payoff is so worth it. And it's coming up next. Hang on, here we go into diversity,

equity and inclusion on your dime. Now, look, don't get me wrong, when you're talking about a big entity whether it's a corporate entity or you know, the Department of Interior or the IRS or you know, pick your government entity. You know you're going to have and I don't begrudge this.

You're going to have the corporate atmosphere stuff that goes with it, right, So you know there's going to be times when there's events where people are paying attention to work per se, they're doing training, or they're having fun. You know, it's the end of the year. Whatever, that's fine, I got it. That being said, this I the waste of time here is truly amazing. And what's important to know is the ALLY Awards, which

is the Federal Agencies Diversity, Equity and Inclusion annual award show. They actually do it virtually, so it's a teams meeting, which I don't know why,

but that's somehow that sounds more horrible if you think about it. And I got to tell you, I was thinking to my mind, do I want to do a two hour long diversity award show with my coworkers on a zoom meeting or let's see a two hour raw, raw meeting about where we're headed this year and then it's all about everyone else, but not you, all right, So on the grand scale of teams meetings that you don't want to go to, on a scale of one to ten, one being I'll

set my video to off, but my avatar will be there and I'll just be in the vicinity so I can kind of hear what's going on too. I'd rather go feet burst into a wood chipper. Where does a two hour mandatory diversity Awards show zoom meeting factor in? Because, damn ross you going to this team's meeting. I know how I was looking forward to it, but I looked at my calendar. I'm busy. I'm just too You're too busy for the mandatory two hour diversity Awards show. It's it's upsetting because what

is it? Mandatory two hour diversity? I trained, It's my passion and I was ready for Yeah, this is the awards right that I would have won. I'm sorry, I can't make it. Well, it's because you're not a poet, and I kid you not. So the event opens up with one of the employees who did a video video themselves doing a poem. Just all right, So here is the I guess the awards host. Now we would like to share a poem entitled I Am diversity story behind this is.

We discovered this several years ago when we were designing a interior toast Master slash diversity change Agent poetry. Okay, I got a question, So wait a secon. So you're doing a toast how in the wokest of woke eras that we live in with everybody butt heurd over micro aggressions, could you possibly put a toast master's roast masters style format together in an employee setting? That

sounds like an absolute recipe for disaster. I watched one of the roasts at a comedy club up in New York that it sounds in YouTube and like three of the comics are getting butt hurt because they thought that some of the some of the jokes were problematic, like if you can't even do that in a comedy club setting, what are you talking about? Murham? And that we

were so moved by it. We since decided to incorporate that and really resonates and it echoes a lot of the themes that we learned about this week. This is by Charles Benefield. Here we go, and what you're about to see is a video of BOEM Investing employees who participated in a recording and a recitation of this poem. Please enjoy. Let's recap this show thus far. Guy likes sexy time with cars. Grabble says people are stupid the view stuff.

The Navy's not the ground fighting for Oh it's one guy's got a rifle backwards her scope. God help us. You have the rifle backwards, and you like to make frank constructs frankin trucks. This is not a best stuff. I think it's been a fun show. What are you talking about, sir? We have even got to the diversity poem. You get to suffer through, Wow, a mandatory two hour online woke fest. I'd rather gouge my left eye out with it. Well why not, both sir? And

he could be like, I have a medical emergency. You could dip out, all right. So this is run the Department of the Interior. This is their online ally awards where everybody gets to spend a couple hours or whatever I did. I don't know if it was a couple hours. It was ninety minutes, but whatever. Listening to diversity, you know their co workers get diversity awards, and you know, the funny thing is, and I've seen we did a story for gosh, one of the one of the investment

banks up in New York, I can't remember which one it is. And they had they have DEI Awards too, which is this is the thing. These ALLY awards are a thing that happens in some corporate settings, government settings. They're not new. And they had like all the people who had won the award up there and no, but there's no white people. And it's like, well, that's weird. These are your ALLY awards, i e. Your diversity awards and awards, and there's no diversity among the award winners.

That's so strange. But here I don't know what the full tally was. But if if if this was in the the opening portion of the award show, I don't know how the hell I'd make the rest of it. All right, let's go ahead with our diversity poem from the people are supposed to basically make sure you're not getting gored by buffalo and screwing ranch grazing permits that are over one hundred years old. That's literally something we went through. So with that in mind, let's get to it. Go right ahead.

I am diversity, please. I didn't add this music. By the way, they video recorded this, so this is part of the presentation. I am diversity, Please include me. I'm present in every place you go, depending on your lens, I'm friend or foe. I'm forced to do a coug with like the winds of change, I move, I'm swift. I'm present with two or more together. If I embraced, I can make the good even better. I'm not limited to age, gender, or race.

I'm invisible at times, and yet all over the place exclude me due to a lot of knowledge. Welcome me like the recruit fresh out of college. Let me take my seat at the table, even though I may be differently able, My experience, my posture to a count to me can help add value for your company. None about me improve my underrepresentation, and I can. By the way, we'll continue, Are you guys feeling more diverse and welcoming, intolerant and open or are you starting to understand what a giant waste

of time this is? And for some reason, I'm getting the same. I'm having the same emotional reaction that I did watching all of those Hollywood idiots sing imagine from their luxury supermansions, and I don't know why that is. I guess it must be my lens. As the one guy said, provide a competitive edge to your entire nation. I exclude no one. I am strengthened by all. My name is diversity, and yes I stand tall. You me and keep what if you don't? What if you're short? You

see how inherently undiverse it is for you to always stand tall? What about the short kings or whatever the term is the kids use See you're inherently not being diverse. You're busted. Your whole poem is bs in the mix together. There's no problem that we can't fix on your What if I told you? We're not even halfway through this, and it feels like this has been two segments. That's help points through innovation and to many, I reflect hope

and inspiration. Your lives and companies will continue to change. Thus the need for diversity and the inclusion will also remain. Do all that you can to truly embrace me an experience life fullness totally. I'm the thought working behind the and familiar face. I'm the ingenuity that helps your team within the race.

I'm the solution that came from an odd question that was asked. I stand out in the you know what I'm going to I'm gonna cut you off the hook for the last thirty seconds because I feel like half our audiences in their garage with the vehicle on. And I get it. What I don't get is how this is a poem. If it is, it's a really bad poem. Are you listening to it? And by the way, before you

come at me like what do you know about poetry? I will have you know that my English, my first English elective class in college was poetry, not because I wanted to take poetry, but because with the way my schedule worked and the way that I you know, they test you in on which class or which section of classes you should be at. My options were Shakespeare

and poetry, and they were right across the hall from each other. And I initially signed up for Shakespeare, and then I noticed in the poetry room it's like forty girls and like three dudes. So I took poetry. Those girls are angsty, tell you that, but whatever, And you know, did a whole thing on Robert Browning and ed Grallan Poe and all of that. So that's great. So yes, I feel qualified to sit here and go not only is this a waste of everybody's time, but it's not good.

It's not even like there's movies out there that are really good that obviously I've woke messaging in it, and then you tend to overlook it because you like to it's a great movie. You ain't got none of that going for you here, sorry, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. So that was the first thing I said. I was going to tell you. Now on to Joe Biden, who had a bold

claim yesterday while giving a speech. Here we go, I, like an awful lot of people in this audience had was the first in my family to go to college and watch my dad struggle to help me get there, and what okay, And look, I've heard people you know that that storyline, that narrative. There's a lot of inspirational stories over the years that we've talked about a lot of especially for diversity folks. One of the favorites of diversity folks is, hey, let's you know, this is the first person to

go to college in the family. They're an immigrant family. You know, one of those narratives right there, And that's fine, and that's a great accomplishment because it's hard, and it's harder than ever to go to college, even though they'll give you one hundred and fifty thousand dollars loan for a career

that pays thirty thousand a year. But you know, justifying that and being able to actually do that is just not a reality for a lot of people, and for some people it's not a reality they want as they've decided that, you know, on the job training, apprenticeship or a technical schooling may be more lucrative and based on what it costs to get a skilled handyman to your house right now, they're probably not wrong. Crazy, that's if you

get him to show up. Oh so why is that a problem. Well, let's let's debunk Joe Biden with I don't know, Joe Biden, my grandfather finniggers granpould really be proud of me right now. No, I'm not joking. He would father. He's an All American football player, John and Santa Clara. Yeah, so, just for those who don't know, what do you say all American football player and then you know, you say at a particular university. Some people see that as your grandfather went to college.

Yes, yes. He literally has talked about his grandfather going to college on numerous occasions, and then as part of this speech talks about how he's the first in his family to go to college. Every day is an absolute adventure. Tell you what, man? All right, So what's our governor Bruin with the VITE or the the MP or the PM excuse me from from Japan. Well, there's a lot of speculation. I think we have some insight

info though, I'll share with you next. Hang on, we were talking about the Masters here and Tiger Woods, just because New York Posts was just like they were all up ontom like what are you doing, dude, And I would just say, you know, it's the It's Augusta. Don't get me wrong. There's a couple holes where having his old distance is a big deal, especially as you start climbing the hill on the back nine there.

You don't realize, by the way, until you're actually at the course, how steep up that slope is on the closing holes well down and then up. I mean, it's a it's a legit valley, and you know, so having distance to get across and maintain certain elevation for your proach shot the

couple holes where that's super important. But other than that, man, it's you carve that course up specially special when you're going through about you know, hole seven through about thirteen, or especially in the back time where you're quote making the turn there through all the pretty flowers are for those casual watchers like that. Ain't a distance thing. That's about being dialed in. So I don't know, we'll see Ross. You got a favorite for the Uh,

you got somebody you're rooting for in the Masters? Yeah, I mean the same thing on Lee Trevino. First of all, no, he's not playing you know that, right, He's not in it. And by the way, Lee Trevino and the Masters have a they got a weird history. The only reason I know Lee Trevino was because back in the day, I can't remember if it was something like the NES or the SNS, but it was

like that was the golf game I played. And then Trevino was also in Happy Gilmour, which, by the way, he like denounced Did you know that? No, I had no idea, Yeah, he so he did. If you remember in Happy Gilmour, he only has like one line in it, but basically he's in every every moment where Happy Gilmore Adam Sandler's character is having a meltdown, there's always a cut shot to Trevino watching him and

shaking his head right, and then I think he corrects Shooter McGavin. And so he was in that movie, and you know, his cameo, obviously, Bob Barker's cameo is the winner as far as cameos go. But his beef wasn't that he was mad because he doesn't swear, and he said he was upset because they led him to believe that there wouldn't be a lot of obscenity in the movie. And I'm like, you're in the scenes where he's yelling obscenities. What did you think they were gonna fix that in post right?

What did you think was gonna happen there? So that was weird, But the masters Trevino got butt hurt, like back in the day. Here's a couple things about Trevino because people argue about where he is. He's well, first of all, he's in his mid eighties, so he ain't playing tomorrow. But you know, Trevino didn't initially get to start playing golf Veno when he was coming out of high school and into college he joined the Marines. So arguably a guy who people argue whether he's in the top ten or

just outside. That's usually the Trevino argument. He had, you know, five or six less years. I think he did six years in or something. He had five or six less years where of you know what, it's kind of peaked time for a lot of golfers, and still managed to win.

See he won two British, two US two PGA championships, but never a Master's And he actually boycotted the Masters because he he felt it was too stuffy, and I think the first time he played, he wasn't a player in he was in some other way and they didn't give him a locker because they have all sorts of weird traditions and so like he had. He couldn't get a locker in the main clubhouse. I do remember what it was, and they made him enter through the kitchen one day, although they dispute that.

And then he said that the Masters was and so he didn't go for years and then I eventually he did go, but he never won a Master's, never put he won the other three, never got the discount for olive Garden as they stack around Augusta. We've talked about this before in the show. You win the green jacket and you put it on and you walk in like the restaurants around the area. You get like twenty five percent off at Olive Guard, and you get ten percent off at Red Lobster, like like

ten fifty percent of Applebee's. Yeah, and they stack. So if you wear multiple jackets, you like twenty five foot and you get like a free meal. So speaking of things that are you know, part of the lore and or completely made up, I'll let you decide. Yeah, so I guess, uh Lee Trevino on his deathbed. We'll be sitting there one day going how could I have never gotten an Olive Garden discount? So in Ross's little fantasy here. So but anyway, so that's Trevino in a nutshell.

That's why I picked him. He's a big marine guy. Do That's what I said. I'm a big marine. Go yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay? That that in the nessny is thing? What about a happy Gilmore? Come on, you got it like that? The shooter and it Shooter's not playing right, He's not Shooter, He's not That's not him he was an actual player, so okay, all right, So yeah, that's that's what's going on there, and good luck on that. In fact, I will h I'm gonna give you five hundred to one odds, so

give me your a hund row and good luck. All right, Look at that Ross is Ross is gambling, but not really because Tortino's not playing, all right, speaking of predicting what may happen, So North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, he went over to Japan here what like a month ago or something. I will always remember it because I remember he went to Japan and then Mark Robinson issued a gubernatorial proclamation and everybody lost their minds. I just laughed.

Whatever, but that visit may have paid dividends. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kashita will arrive at RDU Airport tomorrow, so that Prime Minister is coming from Japan to Raleigh same day. Officials in charge of approving economic consentives for business

recruitment have announced a special meeting. So obviously, you know the expectation is that some something something they figured it out or put the finishing touches on it, and some sort of Japanese business expansion into North Carolina, and they're gonna sit up there and shake hands and cut ribbons and talk about tens of millions

of dollars of tax abatements. Likely that existing business you may have to compete at least for employees with this organization, are still going to be honest if you had even if you were literally credited as other fireworks shopper, right, and you were in Joe Dirt with a non speaking role where they they've panned past you for three seconds in the background. I feel like your entire house would be a show. I'm not making fun of him at all. It's

I think it's a really cool photo. Okay. Ross just texted this to me, So it's Christian Bale. He looks like he's what fifteen in this picture or something. I don't even know how old he was. He was into Tiers of the Sun. But Empire's Son by Steven and here's the Son's the Bruce Willis movie nineteen eighty seven. His bedroom in England, Okay, and he's just he's got he's got a little video game set up there.

He's got his feet kicked up on the table, latest latest tech for the day, and in the background is a is an official movie poster of a movie he's in, which is incredible. Yeah, I mean Live with the Best Life. Man. They ask you like, hey, what was on your You know, I could have seen this before social media, like hey, what on your your walls, your bedroom walls? What posters did you have up? You know? And I can think of the ones that I

have in my bedroom right now. And like you were to ask him that, like, hey, hey, Christian, what what posters were up on your wall back in the eighties and he'd be like, ah, my movies, that's amazing. Wait a second, did you just say in your bedroom wall? No? Do you have movie posters in your bedroom? Did I? Yes? I did? Oh? I thought you said? Now, no, I'm when I was a kid. Okay, well the way you said it, if you go back and listen to it, So what movie

posters do I have now? Now you're referring to is when you were a kid? I thought you were like I thought your poor wife was coming home, and you're like, look at a new Deadpool poster I put on the wall. So all right, I was confused there. Yeah, dude, posters were the bad I remember, because you know, you'd go, Uh, where we get posters? Is that the Walmart and Sheridan. So we'd go up there and they had an end cap on one of the aisles and

this just isn't a thing anymore and I don't know why. And it was all the posters, but they were in like a big plastic foot flip book, right, so they had them all and then you you just flip them and go through all the different posters and uh until you found one with you know, the fairy faucet poster or latest movie poster or whatever it was. Man, And I was all about the posters. I loved them, but yeah, none of them I was in now. I had a Michael Jordan

poster. I had a Lamborghini poster. I had a face off poster which get a face off. Ye. I had a face off posters pretty amazing, like from the movie Theater, the one like I got it like off the wall y. Yeah. Yeah. I had a poster of JFK as well as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King together in nineteen sixty eight. That's a why. That's a so you had. I was in the politics a big fan. No, that's amazing. It's just it's what a what a variety of things in there, I feel like, because my I were mostly

just boobs and action movies. So although I did have a Phi crap A Zappa poster, do you know what that is? I was the only Yeah, I was the only kid who was kind of into Frank Zappa, even though that was before my time. But the poster said Phi crap A Zappa, and I thought it was funny, and so I put it up in there. But I remember having to explain who that was to everybody forever. So my favorite poster, though I didn't mention it, my favorite one was

I had a vintage Eisenhower campaign poster. They said, I like, Ike, Okay, all right, did you bring all your girlfriends in high school? Every single one of them? Yeah? Oh did you? Okay? All right, you're like that. This is my MLK poster. This is my Ike poster. Oh that's good. So yeah, I was trying to think of I had any posters that weren't just no. No, it was

all you know why, because no other posters would last in there. Because my little brother, he was in that stage where he's just an a hole, and he thought it was funny to go in and take him, and then inevitably the way take him is he wouldn't pull the pins on the corners out, so we'd ripped the corner. It was a whole problem, but we got it rectified and when he was old enough to be physically reminded not to do that. So that's how brothers role. All right, let me

get over to this thing here real quick. By the way, if you didn't, if you weren't here for the beginning of the show, you do not want to miss our last segment because we got a story out of Kinston that is crazy. Would be the best way to describe that. We'll get to that here in right after we chat with Stagic and Jeff Bellinger. All Right, I'm just making I don't know, can I say the list?

As we're talking movies? Can I say the name of this movie? So there was a movie that was released three weeks ago into US theaters and they literally have just pulled it, which you know, once you filmed the movie, you spent that amount of money. You know, this isn't one hundred billion dollar blockbuster, but they still spent what like twenty well when you get

marketing, probably thirty five million. They went into the box office made just two and a half million in its first uh three weeks, and it was at that point they pulled it out of theaters. And it is a big, big swing and a miss. I wonder why people might not have been going, but I have some theories. The name of the movie is The American Society of Magical Negroes. I'm probably canceled, but that's the name of the movie. But like, inherently me going, should I say the name

of that? I can't believe that that's good for marketing two with a name like that. All right, it's a romantic comedy, is it really? Because I assumed it was like a black Hogwarts sort of thing. Yeah, well, all right, so no, listen to this. All right? So the film, which is a romantic comedy, is here we go. This is let me read the actual description. This is the movie studios one

paragraph to sell the movie, all right. The American Society of Magical Negroes is a fresh satirical comedy about a young man named Aaron who is recruited into a secret society of magical black people who dedicate their lives to the cause of utmost importance. Making white people's lives easier, and then he meets a girl in hilarity ensues. It's got David Allen Greer, Drew tarvar of hinds. These are all if even if you don't know the names, you know who

these people all, I promise you. Yeah, I think nobody knew what the hell it was and they didn't want to say the name, and you know maybe and also, what the hell does that mean? A society of magical black people? Obviously it's some tongue in cheek white privilege story, right, that sounds like that sounds like what they're setting up for. But yeah, to have to rip it out of theaters, oh brutal. And of course the reason that we're hearing from some involved with the movie is because you're

all a bunch of big fat racists. So sitting spin on that anyway,

eight forty three raced age. It is here with your diverse intolerant weather, and by diverse, I mean some rain and then some not rain, so right, fire aways, all right, and then leading edge of this one round of showers pushing through and getting into Ashborough, Greensboro and heading east, so shortly here across the triangle already and the Triad and back toward to places like Ashville and on your Chattanooga. So we'll deal with these showers here.

As we head on through today, there might be a thundershower mixed in, and temperatures are gonna be in the low to mid seventies. If you get any sunshine at all, which you may not, you might be a little warmer, but we still do have these showers around, mostly cloud You might get a little break tonight before more showers come back tomorrow with thunderstorms midday into the afternoon. Now that's really the main show tomorrow, with heavier rain and

could be gusty winds. I don't think wide spread severe storms midday into Thursday afternoon, but nonetheless gonna be a little unsettled right into Thursday night, and then the sudd will be out and then we get the other end of the stick, kind of flipping around. Sunshine, breezy to windy at times on Friday near seventy loa to mid seventies, and sunny Saturday gonna push it to the low eighties on Sunday and sunny early next week. Looks real nice,

big area of high pressure. Case he is gonna be in and gonna hang around for quite a few days with a nice warming trend. We'll get into Augusta for the Masters tomorrow morning. We'll have some showers, thunder showers May nine o'clock. Most of the impactful rain could be over with, so maybe a little delay on the early tea times, but you'd be able to get

it going later. And the weekend's gonna beautiful. Friday, Saturday, Sunday look excellent, excellent all across the Southeast, including Augusta for the Masters. What's your favorite vehicle you've ever owned? Nineteen ninety three F one fifty Xcel four wheel drive, regular cab long bit. Okay you still have it or no, I don't, But I'm looking for one, believe it or not. It's got to be the same truck. It's got to have a tan

interior. Yeah, yeah, on that I've been I have. I have looked for the ninety seven Powerstroke diesel that I had, and that had the big, the big old powerstroke engine in it. F two fifty little lift kid white interior or white exterior, and then had that gray interior. That was the perfect truck. Man. I love that thing every time I see one. Now, it's like it's a collector's item. So I was. I found one actually, but it was a Actually today I was looking.

I found a short It was a short bed. The interior color was right, but it was a short bed. It was a little dinged up. But I was like, wow, we are I'm get I'm gonna find it. I'll find it, all right, very cool man. And then that will this little discussion will then lend us nicely into the story out of Kinston, where a dude's been arrested for making love to an elderly woman's car for

three years. Oh okay, so you have some fun with that. He really likes, you know, two thousand and eight Toyota something or other whatever that car is, so sure? All right, Corolla, No, it was Avalon. I think the nice he's uh, he doesn't date cheap hos man. Anyway, we got to run, thank you. Yep, Jeff Bellinger, he's next. Hang on, well, casey, we just got word that the cost of living made a bigger than expected jump last no, no, come on, bigger than expected. The Consumer Price Index up four

tenths percent in March. The core CPI, which strips out food and energy also up four tenths percent. The CPI was up three and a half percent year over year. All hotter readings than expected, and it looks like a selloff on Wall Street coming today. S and P futures are down sixty four points, Nasdaq futures are down two hundred and forty two. Now futures down four hundred and four. Greg McBride of bank rate dot Com just emailed kiss

a June interest rate cut goodbye. We also knew this was coming. Speaking of the cost of things, the price of Goodiva chocolates will be going up. Godiva's London based parent company says it is still finalizing pricing, but it expects hikes in the high single digits. Sky High cocoa prices make these increases necessary. The cost of coco is more than double just since the beginning of the year, and the Postal Service is seeking another price increase just four months

after the last one. The agency asking the Postal Regulatory Commission to approve a five cent hike in the price of a stamp that would bring the price to seventy three cents. Stamp prices were last hiked in January. Mortgage bankers reported Today that applications for new home loans fell four point seven percent last week. The average interest rate on thirty year fixed rate mortgages crept back above seven percent. Coca Cola being taken to court over labels on plastic water bottles that read

one hundred percent recyclable. A proposed class action filed in a California federal court charges the recyclability claim is false because some components of the bottles, like the caps and the labels, are not recyclable. In Casey, a lot of movie theater landlords around the country are choosing to lower the rent on theaters rather than lose the tenants. The Wall Street Journal says empty movie theaters are a

big challenge for commercial property owners. The sloped floors and big windowless rooms are not suited to other types of businesses, such as stores and restaurants. Casey, it would be a hilarious place for a bar, though, Yeah, with a slope, with a slope floor. I'll just say it, around one o'clock, it'll be wild in there all right, real quick. Jeff mm hmm. Tomorrow, Yes, who's your pick? That's the master's music. So who do you think is gonna win? The Masters this year my

favorite time of the year. Honestly, Casey, I don't even know a player who's in the Masters. Come on, you can think I got a golf player that you know, whose name you know. I'll give you a hint. He's from Florida, he's won a bunch, he got a car accident, his wife tried to kill him with a pitching wedge. Oh you're talking about Tiger Woods. All right, Well he's in it. So now you know one person. He's in it, So I'll let you root for him. Okay, all right, I'll go in there. You two.

All right, there you go, Jeff Bellinger, big Tiger Tiger Woods. Stand you guys didn't know that, now you do. Okay, let's start to the show with this, and we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna stop it. I have I had a bunch of questions. I don't know that any of them got answered. But I guess if you're you're planning to go to Kinston soon, or maybe you're listening from there this morning, glad

to have you watch where you park here we go home. A couple of years ago, when she started noticing fluid underneath her Burgundy, two thousand and eight, Toyota Avalon. This is a this is an elderly woman. She's got a two thousand and eight to Avalon and you heard it there. And for years, she starts, she noticed something and this thing has been happening.

Here's the thing. Thought something was wrong with her car. Turns out that Kinston police believed that the fluid was from this man, fifty two year old Walter McCrae, who engages in mechinophilia, or a sexual attraction to machines or vehicles. I thought something was happening from Amadehu of my car, because whenever he'd come up here, he'd urinate all over the hood of the car and it would run all down. And I thought it was something coming from

und. I took my car to the shop three times, okay, and by the way, he didn't just urinate on it and we'll leave it there. And the reason we know is because after this has been going on for three years, she finally decided, hey, let's get the cops involved. And they set up some cameras. I don't if their trail cams or what, and sure enough, here we go. Ray says that on several occasions.

McCrae also climbed on the hood of Taylor's car for sexual gratification. Taylor says this has been going on for three years and she could never catch him with her own camera until finally Kinston police were able to with a camera they set up. They called him on camera. They came on Monday morning and they took the films out and they come back to the door say we got him this times. They said, we got good films, we got good

pictures, but it it was more than we really wanted to see. So yeah, yeah, And frankly, I didn't want to have I don't want to be armed with the knowledge of the the term mechanophilia. I didn't need to know that there was a thing. And also it sounds like it could be vehicles, could be any electronic device. Does this guy not have appliances? I have a theory why he was going and hooking up with somebody else's

car or appliance. I think it's like, do you remember back in the day when you were shallow and young and stupid, and maybe you were dating somebody who, frankly was you know, normally you're scoring like sevens eight and there are five maybe, And then you do that thing where you're like, you go out on dates and even though like you're having a good time, like you're also the court of public opinion informs you and she's like, why

do we never meet your friends? Right? I think you know this guy was into eight Toyota Toyota vehicles Toyota sedans, but he didn't want to have to explain that to his crew, and so this was his little side thing. Man, it's a little secret
