Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
But a final. Don't worry, We'll get to all the
other insanity over the weekend. What a final round of
the Masters? Have you ever seen anything like that? I
would argue probably, Oh man, I'm trying to think that
might have been the best Masters round since. And I

(00:22):
know some of you would be like Tiger come back
twenty nineteen, but I mean, just the final round of
that in a while, maybe since Michelson won what was
that four so twenty years? I remember that was the
Michelson won. He was the guy. He was the guy
who's the greatest golfer who's never won a major. Remember

(00:44):
that narrative, never won a major, never won a major.
I broke up with the girl over that Masters. That's
a true story. So I was I was seeing this
girl and she wanted to go see your parents who
lived in Chicago's is when I lived in Minneapolis, and
I'm like, it's Master's weekend and I can't remember what

(01:07):
it was. I had a couple of days off too,
and finally I'm just like fine. But the deal is,
when we're driving home on Sunday, I'm listening to it
on the radio, and I literally mapped out stations on
the route from Chicago to Minneapolis because I didn't have
you know, satellite or any of that stuff. And you know,

(01:28):
they provide you can listen to the Masters. They literally
broadcast it on radio. I mean we don't on any
of our stations, but they're around. And she's like, all right,
fine deal. So we drove down. I think we drove
down on a Wednesday, so it wasn't a problem driving down,
and yes, I was just a glutton for watching it,
even at her parents' house. And we did some stuff

(01:49):
and everything was fine. And on Sunday we're driving back
and it's Phil Mickelson is looking like he's gonna win
this thing, and I am absolutely glued to it. And
within forty five and she's like, can we not listen
to golf anymore? And I'm like, oh no, no, no, no, no,
no no. This was the deal, right, We just went
I you know, hung out with your family, which was

(02:11):
our family. Was nice. But I had never I think
I had met him once, but like spending a whole
weekend with him, you know, that's kind of a step there.
And and and then I'm just like, we we had
a deal, and I just really want to listen to this,
and for another thirty minutes she just kind of sat
there and normally she'd just sleep if I was driving,
I'm like, I just can you go to sleep?

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Please?

Speaker 1 (02:32):
You should go to sleep. You look very tired. And
then thirty minutes later she literally physically just changed the radio.
We uh. We parted way shortly after that. But yes,
wow ross wow, right, wow wow wow, yes, one wow,
three wows how many wows?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
So it's over on Friday Sunday yesterday. Oh was still
going on.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Literally right as I was sending you the prep was
the most minute ended because I had to prep during
that final back nine. Holy crap. That was not easy.
Luckily there's so much craziness going on, it worked out.
But yeah, it ended Sunday yesterday right around seven. So uh,
And it was the whole day just back and forth,

(03:17):
back and forth.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
You had what three different leaders that had to be
what your entire leg Twitter social media feed because I
saw nothing about on mine. My algorithm was like, you
do not care. I'm not showing you that.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
I mean, I tweeted about it a little. And then
after because I was hashtagging the masters, I started getting
fed all the postgame interviews or postmatch interviews. So but
absolutely amazing. So here we go, because this happened. The
journey is over. Hackhoy has his masterpiece, and you're happy.

(03:58):
You're like, oh my gosh, you made that punt. You
got a bonus, right, we got a bonus hole because
he had to go to a playoff because Rory missed
a longer putt, but one he probably should have made
because you know, nerves. I don't care that he's won
what four majors. Prior to his four majors, he just
hadn't won all four of the majors. It's called a

(04:19):
career Grand Slam for those who not in the know,
consistent of the PGA Championship and both Opens and of
course the Masters, and he had not won the Masters,
and he now is amongst six golfers still his friend
who admires so much, all right, but he is among
now six golfers to have won all four majors in

(04:44):
their careers.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
So was that his first win there for the Masters?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yes, and it was the only piece that he needed
for the Grand Slam.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
You might have mentioned that previous side just wasn't paying attention.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, So even if look even if you're not into golf,
it's truly, it's very impressive what happened, because like, Tiger
Woods is the last person who have won all four
of the majors, and then it's you know, it's the
usual suspect Sarah, Sarah's an you know Palmer, you know,
all the Nicholas, the people you expect. But but no,

(05:17):
in the modern era, it's Tiger Woods. Hold on, I
want to be accurate here because I'm missing one, one
or two names, so uh do. But in the modern
era it's Tiger Woods. And when I say the modern era,
I mean really golfers within that I paid attention within
my lifetime. Really two, it's Tiger Woods. And it's now

(05:41):
Rory McElroy. And and here's the deal. A lot there's
a lot of people at beef with Rory McElroy. One
of the underpinnings of what happened yesterday was that the
final round, who is going to be between excuse me,
I'm choking up was between in the final pairing it
was a Chambeau and McElroy who hate each other, and

(06:04):
a lot of it stems from uh Roy was kind
of the golfer who was chastising other golfers who were
going over that l I V. Tour and getting paid,
and Shambeau was one of the first to do it,
and they they they had the real public spat over it,
and some stuff was said, and then Roy left his
fiance ended up marrying another woman, and Shambeau weighed in

(06:27):
on that because this is kind of the guy he is.
He's got no filter, uh, And they so they didn't
speak an entire round of golf, which is which is it? Look,
there's some golfers that when they get into it, like
Tiger is famous for, especially on Sundays, that's he'd wear
that red shirt and he kind of wouldn't talk to you,

(06:47):
but he'd be polite at the beginning, and then after
that it was just game face, which is fine, right
these dudes. These dudes are doing it at the highest level.
You know. I actually there's a there's somebody I know
who played on PGA two are out of Raleigh. You
guys probably know who he is, but and you know,
I just I've talked to him a couple of times

(07:08):
and try to get a gauge on some of the
other golfers. And like the breadth of personalities all around there.
It's really fascinating. But I don't think anyone takes it personally.
I think d Chambeau kind of took it personally yesterday.
So you wonder if that was in his head, because
immediately Rory double Bogie's the first hole and d Chambeau

(07:32):
has a couple of good hold now he's in the lead,
and then he melts down, and Rory starts to melt down,
and then so hold on here, I'm trying to get
this thing here, all right. So then Justin Rose slips
into the lead, who had been leading a couple days
before it, had his own melt down, and it really
looked for a moment like Rory was going to choke

(07:53):
this thing. Man, it looked like for a moment he
was going to choke this thing. And Dave Portnoy was
all about it for some reason. All right, So here
we go, McElroy, Woods, Nicholas Player, Hoge, Oh excuse me,
I said, paulm that's right, Palmer, doesn't I forgot Gary Player,
Ben Hogan, and Sarahzen. But yeah, So since since the

(08:16):
nineteen sixty what was it, sixty six, there had not
been a career Grand Slam Tiger Woods did in two
thousand and now Roy did it twenty five years later.
That's how rare that is.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
So what's this like his first time winning it? The Yes,
yes it was.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's his first green jacket?

Speaker 2 (08:39):
And is that is that rare? Go ahead?

Speaker 1 (08:42):
How much discount does he get since he has one
green jacket?

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Well, it's his first time. Sae'd be twenty five percent
off right now. That's the only the olive gardens around Augusta.
Like if he goes somewhere else, it doesn't work. Like
if you go into the olive garden in like Salt
Lake City or something, they'll be like, what is that
I'm knowing?

Speaker 1 (08:58):
How does it work? Okay? Well let me okay, how
many how much discount does Tiger Woods get? Then?

Speaker 2 (09:06):
How many times has he won the Masters? Five? Then
they owe him money? Jack Nicholas, Yeah, they owe it.
They owe them money.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Jack Nicholas has six I believe he has six. He's
got six Masters.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Probably it's like a dog option in the company at
that point.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Well that's not paying off right now. Is a little
bit of a little bit of trouble there, all right,
So there you go, all right. Why look, color me impressed? Yeah,
I was correct. So Rory had four. He because he
won the championship twice, but he hadn't he hadn't won
a major in uh eleven years, So I look, it

(09:42):
was I if you're into golf, it was very good.
It was because sometimes they're not that good. This was
really good. And I because I don't get caught up
as much and in a lot of the personal stuff,
which you can tend to do with other sports, like
it's fine, go out there. Michelson always had a rap
app where people didn't like him, and he liked to gamble,
even gambled against a kid one time. Everyone lost their minds.

(10:07):
But he said the kid could wait till he's eighteen
to pay him, which I think he was just trolling.
So I actually appreciated that. And then some people didn't
like Daily because he wasn't, you know, country club enough.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
I did see how much money he made over the weekend,
or at least on Friday or Saturday. Did you see
that number?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
He won? Four point two many you're talking about Roy mc.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
No, I'm talking about Daily. How much money he made
at the Hooters with his bus so oh no, how much.
Did he make over six hundred and seventy five thousand dollars?

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I'm sure he did. The lie is crazy. People are
just like that's they're just killing it to line up
with this dude.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
By merch, that's just amazing.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
He sells those pants, which are extremely popular among people
who like to irritate the other people they're playing with. Like,
good for him. Man, how many boobs did he sign? Oh?
Yoh man.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
I don't know if they're if they do that Hooters anymore.
I think they're now like family friendly or like.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
I don't think you could stop John Day from doing it.
And what do you do if you're sitting there at
the autograph table and some chick rolls up and whips
a hootout like you got to deal with it in
a way. You sign it. So she puts it away
to as you know, to uh calm the situation. He's
I mean, he's doing he's doing a service there. How
many times have we been sitting at a radio thing

(11:24):
and you know, some smoke show rolls up in a
tube top and them boom. She's like, can you sign these?
It's a constant problem when you're famous, right, remember that,
Remember how much that happened. Doesn't happen to radio. Oh man,
uh well not this kind of radio. So anyway, just
to say it was it was great, and you know

(11:45):
a lot of questions because yeah, he has had some
meltdowns and PORTI hates him. Man, it was just crazy
port Nooy this week. I don't even understand what's going
on with barstool dude, but I do know that that
was great. I was extremely entertained, and while I love
the Masters, I don't think I've been that entertained and
quite some time, especially in a final round. So there

(12:10):
you go, all right, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four and then all of that happiness,
all of that joy, and you watch the post like
the Masters. If there's any golf tournament you watch the
post tournament coverage, it's the Masters. Because now you go
to the cabin. Okay, you go to the cabin, and

(12:32):
in the cabin is Jim Nance, and in the cabin
is whoever's the head at the time of the Masters, right,
one of the club members, and then there's the last
year's winner, and then it's you, and it's it happens
the same way. And Nan says, what he says, the
Masters guy says what he says, and then this case,

(12:55):
Scotti Scheffler, the guy who won it last year, presents
the green jacket terry and then he cries or he
doesn't cry, or when he wins, he cries or he
doesn't cries. And it's literally a prop bet you can
make by the way you're golfing. If you're gambling on golf,
you can you can you can bet whether they're gonna
cry or not cry. I have a question, how do

(13:16):
you feel about men crying when they win a sporting event,
because you know, there's not a ton of that until
the more modern era, right, I don't. I don't know
if there's I don't know if I've ever seen video
of you know, like Nicholas crying after a win. So

(13:38):
I'm just I've just thrown it out there. Don't get
mad at me. And there's been some really decisive wins.
So you can gamble on that. Brous you got a
problem if the Bills win the Super Bowl, if Josh
Allen turns into a puddle, Uh, not at all. Yeah,
I'm not saying I do too. I'm just it's curious
because you can bet on it. People have a lot
of opinions on it, and I'm like, I don't know, man,

(14:00):
you just did the thing that five other people on
the planet have done, and you've been trying for what
twenty years? Mcroy's remember this guy, he was so good
as a kid, he got an exemption into the Masters
is a kid, So yeah, I don't know that I
have a problem with that unless you're Lebron. Let's suck

(14:23):
it up, bro, what are you doing anyway?

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Sorry?

Speaker 1 (14:27):
I had to throw that one in so all of
this to say, uh, super excited, what a what a
fun weekend. I'm not sure outside exists. I did leave
the house once after I got after Friday Show. I
ran ran to the grocery store just to get a

(14:47):
few things and then just locked myself in like it's
a survival vault. And I was quite okay with that,
enjoyed that very much, except right after I watched the
Jacket present they cut away. I made a mistake. I
went out to my kitchen to grab a little Sunday eat.
I've been kind of grazing most of the day, but

(15:08):
I want a little something there at the end of
the day, And all of a sudden I forgot, and
I hear the sixty minutes theme song fire enough tick
tick tick tick tick, and it's we're gonna do a
softball interview with Zelenski and crap on Trump, and then
we're gonna do a segment on Greenland attacking Trump. And
I could not move from my kitchen in my living

(15:31):
room fast enough to turn it off. And I would
say it sapped about thirty percent of my happiness at
that moment. So screw you CBS. I hate you. I
hate what you were trying to do on sixty Minutes.
I didn't even watch, and I know it's probably dishonest,
and you stole some of my Master's joy from me.
I can't wait till The Masters isn't on your network again,

(15:51):
so I don't have to fear that because you kind
of almost just a little bit ruined my joy yesterday. Okay,
so there you go, We'll be right back hang on.
So just real quickly, I'll leave this as kind of
a if you want to call in and weigh on
on it, go ahead, because I've already gotten some interesting email.
I was mentioning one of the things that you could

(16:14):
bet on as a prop bet. So if prop bet
if you don't know, is any bet really that isn't
the outcome of the game or points totals for you know,
even parts of the game, but rather individual achievements or
just weird things like at the super Bowl, one of
the bets you can do is what heads or tails

(16:34):
on the coin toss, and they're usually both plus one ten.
So the only person making all the money is whoever
the book he is, so he always gets his. That's
a prop bet. And one of the prop bets at
the Masters is you can bet whether the winner is
going to cry after he quinches the victory. And that's

(16:57):
and so if you'd bet Rory would cry, he did.
If you would go back to who won a couple
of years ago, no, well whatever, he didn't. And I
remember somebody wrote an article because they were all like
offended that that's a thing, and it's like, well, so

(17:19):
like male tears are a whole thing, right, yeah, well
you know, people say, you know, you should be sensitive,
although some women react very badly to seeing their man
cry unless it's you know, the death of a family
member or something like that. And at a sporting event,
it's a whole question. I don't necessarily care you just

(17:41):
achieved something that only five other people have achieved. Like
the emotion going through has got to be significant. An
emotion to some extent has to be channeled in how
you approach things, because if you don't have control of
your emotions as somebody who plays golf, though not quite
on this level yet, but maybe one day, Ross, would

(18:02):
you see how many majors I have? Ross, gonna check
this real quick and see if how many of the
four major tournaments I've won on the PGA.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Sure, let me check out none?

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Oh you sure?

Speaker 2 (18:13):
I mean, I mean I can do sometimes.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
I like to tip a few back when I golf
and I couldn't even remember. So, but like, can we
agree that if you lose, you shouldn't cry? And here's why,
not just because of that, but because that's what you
that's the hole I lost. I came this close. I'm
gonna put some tussin on it, and I'm gonna work
harder next year and come back and do this thing.

(18:37):
That's what I want to see, not because of the
crying thing, but because you need to channel that defeat, because,
especially in golf, half of it's in your head. If
I'm mclroy after I hit that ball in the creek
there on what twelve or thirteen and and fell three
back with just a few holes to go. It's really

(19:00):
easy for a golfer, even an amateur golfer whatever, pro
golfer whatever, to go to get mad, to get flustered,
to get frustrated. And he did wide some wedges after that,
but he also made some really good shots. And anyone
who's ever played golf knows that your mindset is really important.

(19:21):
When you're feeling it, you're just feeling it. And it's
not just golf. It's did a lot of sports. You know,
you get a quarterback out there and he's just feeling
it that day. But a golf it's so important because
you don't have there's no one to rely on around you. Okay,
you can't be wide receiver number one and you're having
a bad day, but wide receiver number two is having
a great day, and it really evens out. It's golf,

(19:43):
it's all you, and it's the only professional sport where
you call your own penalties, by the way, that's that's
another wild thing. So it's easy to get there. So
if I'm watching somebody that I like in sports, and
they lose, I want I don't want to see them
have an I don't want to see him lose it
any of the rest of it. There was a story

(20:05):
about some old NFL coaches I think Man Madden was
one of them who literally threatened to find players for
crying in that situation. And I don't know that's a
little old school. I don't know that you'd see that today.
But go ahead. But once you've done it, you've done it, man,
Let all that emotion. Let all that emotion out. I'm

(20:29):
cool with it. Whatever. None, I want none, No majors, Okay,
all right, to work harder on that for next year.
So eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four you guys, okay with that? You want to watch
your sports guys turn into a puddle there in the
post game? How about if they lose? Is that different?

(20:52):
If they win? We can have that conversation because all
the rest of the conversations they are probably going to
annoy you a little because it was it was the weekend,
and all the insane people were doing insane stuff. Not
to mentionine what China's doing. I can't We're going to
get into that because China's got a plan and the

(21:17):
the friendly fire on a friendly fra. I guess friendly
fire numbers are injury and death numbers are stacking up.
And I'll explain what I mean by that. With what
China's doing, they're not actually shooting. But it's really interesting
whose ox is actually getting gored with their response to
the Trump tariffs. But let us start here. Uh where

(21:44):
am I not seeing? Ross? Did I send the New
York Subway story to you? Or did I not? I?

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Did that not get mad? Dang it? All right, I'll
find that. Let me go in a different direction. Let
me start up in Pennsylvania. There was a story that
happened on the New York Subway over the weekend, which
it is in there. Okay, I just for whatever reason,
I don't see it in the stack here. Oh they're okay,

(22:15):
Now I see it. Oh it was tabbed under the
masters say, I don't know why it does that sometimes.
All right, So let me start here. So police, So
though police have found him so or not found him.
They've identified him, but they they're looking for I was
checking this morning to see if they've found this dude.
So check this out for anyone trying to convince you, Hey,

(22:38):
you know it'd be a really good idea. Now, this
happened last week, but really all of it started to
come to light once they identified the guy. So so
imagine this. You, you against probably your better judgment, decides
you're going to get on the New York subway system
after dark, and while you're sitting there, you have a

(23:03):
heart attack or you have you die of natural causes.
Don't know what. Nobody murdered you. You died of natural causes.
It's sad, it's unfortunate. It sounds like the dude was
a homeless guy too, got on the subway and croaked.
But again, they don't think they're they don't think there's
any foul play there. So now a lot of people

(23:25):
are on the subway. Right, it's late, but it's not
like two in the morning yet. And they suspect he
died around eleven. I think no, he actually don't know.
I'm sorry, he died earlier than that. They think he
died probably around eight. Okay, so again, this subody still
got quite a few people on it. And you're dead.
I know you look like you're sleeping, but you're dead too.
And I don't know exactly what he looked like. But

(23:50):
nobody says anything. Nobody calls the authorities. Nobody says, you know,
try to say something to the conductor or one of
the people at the uh you know, at the actual
subway stop you're going to, or they got some workers
from the transit department. That nobody says boo, and that
for about an hour, hour and fifteen minutes, your body's
just dead. And then some dirtbag notices you're dead. So

(24:14):
what do you think he does? I think he gets authorities. Noah,
he robs you. He go though, even though you're a
homeless guy and who you probably got nothing on you.
This person, in front of the other passengers proceeds to
go through all this guy's belonging to take whatever he
wants and again and then just gets off. Nobody says
a word. And then about an hour and a half later,

(24:38):
now about two hours later, some other person gets on
notices he's dead. And finally, just finally, do you think
maybe somebody, out of just dignity and not wanting to
ride the subway with the corpse would say anything with
all those passengers standing around watching this situation, No to authorities.

(25:01):
This other dude, let's see here, why do they not
have his name right at the top or whatever. So
this other guy gets on and notices this guy's dead,
and at eleven forty five, according to witnesses, proceeds to
pull the pants off of the dead body, pull his

(25:24):
own pants down, and I think, you know where this
is going, So I'm gonna stop right there on the
subway in front of people becuz opportunity don't know. And
it was at that point finally after that guy literally
got off the train because nobody stopped him, which I

(25:48):
I understand. There's people like if I'm ever on the
subway and somebody's threatening physical violence, I don't care what
happened to Daniel Penny. I'm gonna stop it because there's
too many crazies. Nobody wants to jump in on the
crazy dude assaulting in that way, the corpse on the subway. Nobody,
so nobody tried to stop it, but they did finally
report it after and now investigators are looking for this

(26:10):
dude who lives with his mom and family. And I
had been imprisoned for a while, I had gotten out,
has had some had some runnings with the laws. Yeah, yeah,
so I don't think they've caught him yet and they

(26:30):
but they know who he is and they want to
talk to him obviously. I mean he's facing the charges
he's facing are not that substantial because the guy was dead.
But it's still one of the most horrific stories I've
read in a long time, and it really cements my
decision to never ever ever ride a public subway system

(26:54):
after dark. I might ride one during the day, although
New York's might be questionable, but like, you're not getting
me on the what's the one in Atlanta called that
the Marta? Right, Yeah, that one? That one I've read that.
I wrote that one after dark one time and I'm like,
this was not a good idea. What have I done?

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Man?

Speaker 1 (27:17):
So that's no, the one in Atlanta, which I think
is called Marta. Not getting on that after dark ever again?
Then the DC hell no, and New York doc because
I don't want to get robbed, but because I don't
want to have a heart attack and have that happen
to me. If that sounds weird, I don't know why. Yeah,

(27:41):
just because like people, you know, every time somebody would
come to visit my grave, friends, family, members listeners like
you who I'm sure with Pilgrimage, at some point your
mind is going to be like, yeah, yeah, he lived,
he lived, he lived a full life. But he and
I doing what he loved and he sure as hell

(28:02):
after it didn't. And then for a moment while they're
having that memory of you, and you know they're time
spent together and things you accomplished together, there's gonna be
just a split second where they're like yeah, and then
that guy sodomized his corpse, and then that will forever
be part of your legacy. So in a way, that's

(28:24):
just like, that's just another reason where I want nothing
to do with the subway system after dark. Sorry, there's
just too many crazies on those things. The one in
Atlanta I thought was gonna be fine. I was so wrong.
I was so wrong. Ross. Did you ever ride that
the light reel or whatever that thing is in Atlanta?

Speaker 2 (28:43):
No, it's called Marta. And my driver once was like, hey,
let's go on that and I said, no, you're my driver,
keep driving me. I'm not going in that thing. It's crazy,
what you know, I said, be common man in my driver,
I'm not come on, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
It's that ping. I'm trying to remember if that's ping. Now, Jersey,
you lived in Atlanta, that could.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Never ever Yeah, yeah, but I was so focused on work.
I stayed like I didn't really travel because to travel
anywhere in Atlanta it's like a two hour ordeal. Right, Yeah,
it's like I'm going to stay around this part of
town and not go that far. I was.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
I was a bad decision. I made bad bad.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
It reminds me of that scene. And remember the movie
The Collateral with Tom Cruise where he talks about, you know,
the city, everybody's paying attention to themselves, knowing really.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Folks, Jamie Fox is driving around. Yeah, yeah, it's a
great movie.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah, but he talks about how you could die in
the subway and it will take days for people to notice.
And you know, at the end of the movie spoiler,
he dies in the subway and he's just always paying attention.
And the issue with this is a lot of people
might have even thought the initial guy that robbed him,
I don't know he saw him have a heart attack
or whatever, but he probably thought a guy was drunk
and passed out.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Well, but again, that's one thing, right, you got somebody
sleeping on the subway. A lot of people are not
going to pay attention because you know, homeless people get
in there, or you get drunks after bar time whatever.
But let me but once you see somebody robbing the
dude and you do nothing, you're part of it. Now, Okay,
you don't have to physically stop them, but say something.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
It's the pennything though, Like you don't want to jump
in and do anything because what you might get stabbed
in the chest or you.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Not saying you got to do anything. Let the guy
get off the subway and then tell somebody like, hey,
there's a guy in here. He got robbed. I don't
know if he's dead or what. But the guy, here's
the description of the guy. That's all you got to do.
You don't have to go in and choke hold the
guy if he's not threatening you. But the fact that
people sat there and the only way that they then
would say anything is when they you know, imagine somebody

(30:34):
at the end of that movie and the director's cut
the guy dies. He's wearing that gray suit if I
remember in that movie, yeah with the white hair, yeah yeah,
and then all of a sudden you just see somebody
pulling Tom Cruise's corpses pants down.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
I was in the Criterion edition.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Oh it was in there. Okay, See these are the things.
This is why we have these conversations.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Oh it was Steve Buscemi.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Oh man. I never trusted him, never trusted him. It'd
be funny if it was Kaiser, SoSE wouldn't it? Did
you have a crossover there? Because remember that band murdered
his entire family? Well is there? What won't he do?
Spoiler alert on that? All right, real quick? Yes, Boston Paul,
what's what's going on?

Speaker 3 (31:18):
The question is did you cry when Rory cried? Did
he make you cry?

Speaker 1 (31:23):
No? No, he did not, because I didn't win the Masters,
So there's that. Are you happy? Y?

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Yeah? I didn't? Better stay? So what do you think
about Patrick Reeve's hole out?

Speaker 1 (31:36):
What's on? What? On seventeen?

Speaker 3 (31:39):
On seventeen?

Speaker 4 (31:40):
What I shot?

Speaker 1 (31:41):
That was? And who's you know?

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Chef w probably thought he'd never be in the money
and coming in fourth place. I mean it was just
a crazy finished.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
It was a crazy day, you know. I will say this,
Boston Paul. At least I watched all four rounds of
the Masters and didn't go to a dog park or
whatever you did.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
So hey, hey, beagles, baby, he.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Played with a bunch of bees. Eagles. You don't men
were doing me golf? You run around with big barely dogs. Man,
those are cats.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Hey, you know, folks, he tried to kill the laugh
He tried to kill the breed.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
And I can not him. That was not invented the beagles,
but still a cat. There nothing I can do about it.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
I had to be there. I got golf was not
on the top of the list Saturday.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Okay, you just watched it on your phone, didn't you.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Right, Okay, all right, all.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Right, all right, hey, no, no, no, I got a question.
I got a question. That story I just described. During
your time in law enforcement in the city the area
around Boston, have you ever heard a story where you
guys like somebody gets on mass transit dies and literally
he's getting robbed and sexually assaulted and nobody says anything.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Love a dead person, you know, living they've died.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
No dead're dead, I'm talking dead. No.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Uh, that's what that would be a new one.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
All right, Well, that's look at that. That's the first
good thing I've heard about Boston in a while.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
So well that'd be that would be also another rookie
call too, you know, uh hold the scream semi buddy,
go get the tape way.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Here for you. Yeah, I'll be over here pointing in
the other direction. All right, thank you boss for Paul.
Let's get back. Glad your liver survived. Okay, all right,
there you go. Yeah, he's like, I remember he's he
sent me a picture and he's like at a dog park.
It was during the Masters, and I'm like, what are
you even doing? You were so broken?

Speaker 2 (33:37):
All right?

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Uh, So we have that story, and then we got
to get into what happened up in Pennsylvania because of
course we're all doing the thing where instead of like being,
oh my gosh, that's horrible and let's figure out how
that doesn't happen anymore, we're all figuring out how we
can blame each other's political sides. So I'll fill you
in on the details there coming up Casey O Day
Radio program. So we obviously we talked a little the

(34:00):
Masters there over the weekend. That was super exciting. If
we're into that might have been one of the best ones.
And I'm probably twenty some years man, twenty some years
which is impressive. Really really thought that that was good.
I know. The last one they think was the big
one was Woods just randomly winning in twenty nineteen, which
was very cool. But yeah, that was definitely up there.

(34:23):
So on Saturday, after I got done, I was going
to throw this in here for any of you. So
after I got done on Saturday, I was, you know, like,
all right, that was that was that was pretty crazy,
And I got to watch something. So I flipping through
the very streaming stuff and I'm on Amazon Prime there,

(34:48):
and all of a sudden, I see that the number
you know, because I always put all these the number
one movies trending, and number one was that G twenty movie,
which we kind of talked about a little on the show,
where Viola Day as the president. And it's just kind
of crazy that you could. The thing that's pretty clear
there is the movie at least was partially inspired because

(35:10):
of the timing of it when they made it over
the idea that they thought Kamala Harris was going to
be president. Right, It's it's that's not a coincidence. It's
something that probably inspired the writers, which which I actually
kind of understand. I know a lot of people are like, oh,
this is but yes, I understand, it's Hollywood, and you
know they're they're kissing the behinds of one side versus

(35:31):
the other. But so they made a movie and I'm like,
I've just been sitting there watching Masters. I didn't feel
like going out or doing anything, and there wasn't really
anything else in my cue, so to speak, that I
wanted to see. So I turned it on Ross, I
watched it, and I have some thoughts, and my first

(35:52):
thought was, for basically about half or more of the movie,
I'm like, this is fine, this is you know why
because at first, this is the story. Let me give
you this setup. I won't I'm gonna it'll be kind
of spoilers, but it's not a brain buster. What happens
in this movie, Like, the plot is not a secret.
And so the plot is it's the g twenty Summit,

(36:14):
So you got the twenty most powerful nations of their leadership.
It's in South Africa, this big fortress hotel that looks
down over Cape Town, and that's where they're gonna have
this thing. And by the way, I thought that they
did a really good job of making a lot of
these world leaders pretty unlikable, pretty arrogant. The British Prime

(36:36):
Minister was an absolute d bag, which I'm okay with
considering who's in there right now. By the way, do
you see what the British Prime Minister just did to
the art collection and number ten Downing? He went through
and decided that they would They're gonna go during his
time there. They're gonna pull all the art off the
wall that celebrates essentially white people, and so that includes

(36:59):
literally Royalty, which is fine, you know, I feel about that,
but also Winston Churchill and Shakespeare. They just pulled all
their stuff off the wall and he's putting in a
bunch of woke art from whatever. So I had no
problem with them being portrayed like that. And the European
delegation other than them, especially like the the International Monetary Fund.

(37:22):
Chick was initially really really really like arrogant, which I
think describes the EU perfectly. So I'm fine with that.
But Viola Davis, who I want to remind you, and
this is not me picking on her, but it will
be important, is sixty okay, And I like Viola Davis.
I like a lot of movies she's in. I don't
have beef with her. But she's a sixty year old woman,

(37:44):
not even just a black one, just a sixty year
old women. And I'm not picking on women, but understand me.
And her backstory is, because now she's got to fight
these batties, was not as over the top as I
thought it was going to be. Whether they like she
you know, former two time seal or something whatever. I
know that's not a thing, but you get me. No,

(38:04):
her backstory was she had an MOS serving in the
military early on in Afghanistan or Iraq, I can't remember which.
She was part of a convoy that was ambushed. I
can't remember she was serving as a medic or what,
but it doesn't matter. She's she was not some elite
special Forces soldier. She was and they got ambushed and

(38:26):
a convoy they got pressed into a building. There's that.
You'll get the backstory more in the movie. I'm not
going to ruin that part as to what may why
that may have happened. And during the course of this,
she's terrified, right She's watching people around her for the
first time get killed. She herself was injured, her leg
and her knee was injured pretty badly as it portrayed

(38:47):
in the movie. And yet when she's in this building,
all of a sudden there's a secondary explosion, which is
not something that is not a thing that happens. Utilizing
explosions to then later use the gathering around explosions is
not just a movie trope. It is a strategy that
had been used by terrorists. And so she's in there

(39:08):
and it blows up, and there's some civilians in there,
and a woman who is holding their child, a civilian
woman in Afghanistan is literally cut in half by the explosion,
shielding her child, and Viola Davis's character has to grab
the child from the mother who's dying. And eventually, when
they egress out of the building, there is a photographer

(39:29):
there who had been embedded with whoever the folks who
came to rescue them, snaps a photo of her running
out with this child covered in blood, limping out of there, really,
and that photo parlays her into public office and eventually
into the presidency. And you know what I was at

(39:50):
that point, I'm like, maybe I have been too hard
on this movie because it's just straight. It felt very
eighties popcorn action flow during that time, and I'm like, Okay,
that's a reasonable backstory there. There are a lot of
women who who found themselves the victims of you know,

(40:11):
improvised explosive devices ambushes, who died in combat or in
situations where they where combat literally befell them. And that's
what happened with Davis's character. And there's lots of examples
out there. And she because of the situation, she really
was having emotional problems dealing with it. That's very normal,

(40:33):
and so she threw herself into never wanting to quote
be as powerless again. And so there's a scene in there,
although they don't get a lot of the backstory where
she's ross. What's the martial art where you use the
bot the other person's motions to throw them. I know
some women do this because you don't have to be
as strong.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
I mean, they do it in judo, but the big
one I think you're thinking of is a kido. Well,
it was one of those that's like Steven Seagull won.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Yeah, maybe it might have been judo. I don't know.
I'm not a martial arts guy, but it was clearly
that because you see her on the White House lawn
with the Secret Service guy sparring and they're doing the
throws and stuff. So she decides she's gonna go ahead
and do that. All right, Again, there's a lot of
women who take martial arts. That's not a thing. So
fast forward down to the G twenty and I'm like, okay,

(41:21):
you know what, this has been reasonable up till then,
well then the villain shows up. And the villain is Homelander.
If you watch The Boys, it's the same actor played Homelander.
And so he's got a team of disenfranchised military folks
and even some secret service guys, disenfranchised they feel their

(41:41):
governments have let him down. And then they're going to
take all of the skills that they have and all
of this stuff, and they're going to betray everything, and
they're going to lock this building down, this hotel, and
they're going to use it to crash the world's economies
because they're crypto enthusiasts. So I'm like, oh, hey, we

(42:04):
went here, but whatever, all right, And then with a
minimum level of judo or a kedo training, and you know,
the skills she learned clearly in basic training though not
part of her mos in the military before she was injured,

(42:25):
and has this bad knee that got her one hundred
percent disabled. She then proceeds to tear through do you
remember the equalizer at the end, that crew that showed
up at the home depot looking place where it's nothing
but seven foot Russians and just crazy sas guys, it's
that times five and Viola Davis what they don't say,

(42:46):
apparently now is a world class shooter, and she proceeds
to essentially tear through six of them at a time.
And the part where I'm finally like, ah, you got me,
I'm out out is they you know, there's always the
one giant Russian dude, or there's always one he doesn't
have to be Russian. But anytime there's a bunch of

(43:08):
henchmen coming at you, there's always one who is kind
of the final boss before the final boss.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Every time, like Captain America happened in that movie one
of them when he's in the ship and the Russians
like this big dude and you had like remember Rambo,
he fell down the hole in Rambo three? You need
to fight? Yes, yeah, yea.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Yeah, there's always one giant dude. What happens the whoever's
in whoever's the the you know, the protagonist will punch
them and it will do nothing right. The guy will
just kind of look back at them.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Like they're gonna right, like their face so for a
second will go and then they'll look back and smile.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Yeah, and whoever's the star of the movie always like,
oh it's not and then he has they have to
forgot another way to kill him. So Viola Davis's character,
and I'm not making this up. Who is a sixty
year old woman. I just want you to understand this now.
She's not portrayed that as much in the movie. I'd
say they probably peg her based on the age of

(43:58):
her kids and and Anthony Anderson's her husband. I don't know,
probably late forties. She's got like her Her daughter is seventeen, who,
by the way, also is a super genius electronics person
and at one point hacks the Secret Services system and
the RFID system at the White House so she can

(44:20):
go clubbing in Georgetown.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
Oh okay, what, well, you'd never done that, And no
she's so she's Ray and the Millennium Falcon where she's
like bypass the compressor or whatever, the capassor yeah, yeah,
what I did. And that Harrison Ford staring on like
I've been on this ship for years. I didn't know
I could do that.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
Yeah, well this this girl did, man, And by the way,
that's a skill set that will come in helpful later.
So back to the seven foot tall Russian. So now
she's like, all right, what am I gonna do? And
I kid you not this is gonna be a minor spoiler,
but it's okay because I'll leave the rest for you.
She decides she can't shoot him or stab them. What

(44:56):
she can't shoot him or stab him? And I'm like,
well you got to run right? No? No, no, no no.
She puts him in a headlock, drags him to the
ground and it's like that scene and No Country for
Old Men where he's strangling the deputy to death with
the handcuffs. So it's like, okay, hold on, but no handcuffs.
She just uses the brute force of her arms to

(45:17):
strangle him till he's purple and then snap his neck
like it's a sigul run.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
I'm pretty sure they could snap her arm off if
they wanted to, if they are the way you describe
them right or stand up, I mean even in the
even in uh Princess Bride, the you know, dread pirate
Roberts technique against Andre the Giant, where he's he's on
him on his back and he's just got him in
a headlock. Yeah. I mean even Atlmost failed a.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
Little bit, a little bit. That's a good point. Yeah. Yeah.
So uh at that point, I'm like, ah, you got me.
I'm out. I can't, I can't. What are we doing here?
I'm trying to find a picture of the dude she
strangled too. I will find it during the breaks, because
it's just so insane.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Man, it's just the widow thing, the scarlet Johansson thing
all over again. Right.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
I think what I'll do is I'm gonna turn it
on on my phone and take a screenshot. But I'll
do that during the break because I can't find a
photo of it.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Where you have this twenty pound woman who takes down
like these big, huge dudes.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Yeah, wasn't there a little more to the backstory of
Johansson's character though?

Speaker 2 (46:20):
There was she did have a little bit more training,
I would say that a little bit.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
So anyway, you were doing so well and they like
they had a real opportunity and Anthony Anderson, her husband,
who himself is a I believe it was a combat marine.
Is is what the storyline was there, and that's how
they met. Literally after she was injured. I think he
was in the hospital to or something like. He's he's useless, man,

(46:46):
He's running around with the kids. He's scared, he doesn't
know what to do. He can't fight. And uh, I
shouldn't say he can't fight. He does. Actually he does
actually fight a little bit, but not to the extent
that she is. And then again when she choked Andrea
the giant to death, broke his neck when all I
had to do was stand up, I'm like, all right,
no more of that, man. Uh jeez, all right eight

(47:08):
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four back
in just a few minutes, Ross, just real quick. So
Ross was mentioning a documentary he watched over the weekend. Uh,
this is that I can't pronounce it. How do you
pronounce this? G lo.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Gigloglow? Yeah, giglow Beach murders, the ones that happened in
the early two thousands or they found it around twenty
twelve or something, twenty eleven. Yeah, was it that long? No,
it wasn't that long it was. It took just all
the arrest though it was more reason recently. The arrest
was like two years ago in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Y you had me scared them, but that might be
the biggest timeline this.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Yeah. No, The story broke in like spring of twenty eleven.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
And the dude was an architect in New York City
and apparently, and he's still alleged because he hasn't been
tried alleged dirtbag murder in on Long Island. Right.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
No, it's a great documentary now on Netflix. It was
trending number one yesterday and our algorithm was like, oh,
you guys are gonna like this because we watch all
the true crime stuff. So it's really good. And the
big part that I didn't understand that was involved with
that case was the complete corruption involving the chief, the
chief of police, and the district attorney.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, which literally precluded them from
really doing anything with the case because, right, they were
just so corrupting. But I found interesting you told me though,
is the neighbor's reaction.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
Yeah, because right, usually when these guys are busted, like
the neighbors are like, what him, No, way he was,
you know, he's I can't believe it. And all of
his neighbors were like, yeah, that's the dude. He's super weird.
I mean, and you'll check out his house. His house
was in this suburban Long Island neighborhood and all the
houses are like super nice, and his house looks like

(48:43):
the house from Resident Evil. Looks like a haunted house, the.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
One the kids walking.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
They said. One of the neighbors said, they were like,
you know, this is the house where in Halloween the
kids would go door to door and when they would
get to that house, they'd be like, Nope, we're not
pushing that doorbell, We're not knocking on that door.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
To be fair, when you Resident Evil the video game,
you refuse to go in.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
The hand, I'm not going in the house, yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
I mean, which was a good call.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
It is, Yeah, why would I go in there?

Speaker 1 (49:09):
All right, So I mentioned it was all just chock
full of crazies. By the way, I sent you Ross,
I sent you the photo of the dude that six
year old Viola Davis could just strangle and snap his neck.
It's a little hard because they kind of they do
a scene where he's really really big. But then it's
kind of dark in that scene, so it's clearly it
was clearly to hide how insane that whole setup was.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
No, he's towering above her right, but his neck is Okay,
imagine Adam Shift's neck. Okay, it's not that. I mean
that guy. Look at this guy's like all.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
Neck No Adam shit, Well come on, Adam Shift's neck
is can we call it a neck? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (49:48):
I don't think so. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
No, this dude's just and she just gets again she
didn't She has a gun, but there's she doesn't have
any AMMO left, but she uses the gun as kind
of part of her strangulation, like the race the gun.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
She gets him on the ground and just kind of
chokes him out. But I imagine, just looking at this
dude's neck, he could probably break her arms with his neck.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
Just it's a good point. We surely just choke him out.
She chokes him and then does the quick snap of
his neck, which I don't know where she learned that.
They teach that? Uh and uh, you know judo? Is
that is that a Judo thing or do they teach that?
It is that? The whole thing is just crazy man?

(50:31):
All right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. So the big story was a couple of
big stories over the weekend that frankly are are kind
of insane. One is, oh, hold on here. One is
how China is responding to all the terrorff stuff. And

(50:53):
then of course what happened up in Pennsylvania. So up
in Pennsylvania in Harrisburg, which is the capital there. The
governor's mansion is this jig. It's a big mansion, sits
right on the Susquehanna River there. I wish you've been
to Harrisburg's have a big sports show there. But anyway, Uh,
And the governor, of course is Josh Shapiro, who most

(51:14):
of you probably remember because there was a lot of
Shapiro discussion when they were picking Tim Wohlz for the
VP nominee for the Dems, and that, you know, a
lot of people assumed that was because Shapiro is Jewish, right,
And uh, that's not a good look. And it really
speaks to where we are right now. Where you have

(51:36):
you got you have a swath and look, I'll fully
you got a swath on both sides of the aisle,
although it is remarkably larger on the left right now,
and you couldn't convince me otherwise who have some hang ups,
some of just about Israel, And that's fair. I think that,
I think that there is a line that you can
go up to when you're criticizing what Israel is doing.

(51:59):
But so many times I see the arguments that are
clearly born out of something else and also don't seem rational,
Like where you have people you know, who are who say, well,
Israel shouldn't responded to what happened there with the UH,
with all those shooting, or with all those murders, the
shooting at the UH. You know, they kicked it off

(52:20):
at that at that concert, and then you know, escalated
into going door to door in many of those horrific stories,
and you know, just because Hamasque chooses to hide literally
under its own citizens, and like, I don't know how
you don't respond. So I don't think that that's practical.
So I try to carve it off. But I will
readily admit that there is a segment on the right

(52:43):
or what you would consider right leaning politics, who clearly
are demonstrated some anti Semitism and it's gone beyond. And
I have no problem saying that and I know that
some of you, some of you are going to send
me your email and I don't care. I don't care.
But on the on the other side of the aisle,
that is hatred man, that is something else entirely that

(53:06):
then gets metastasized into the rest of the party where
you can run around and tear You're supposed to be
supposedly normal people and you're tearing posters of missing people
off of Do you remember all of that following what
happened over in Israel where people just so anyway, they're
just tearing posters off, they're they're physically and sometimes well

(53:27):
mostly uh, you know, I was gonna say mostly on
university campuses as where you see this, but where they
are physically encumbering the ability of students who they feel
are Jewish or even if they're not Jewish, but quote
unquote Jewish sympathizers, for being able to attend class. They're
they're they're vandalizing stuff with swastikas, you know, with with

(53:49):
tesla's and these are quote unquote supposedly normal people and
all of this, all of this is going on, and
Josh Shapiro is a Jewish governor, so so That is
one of the theories there. Another one of the theories is,
you know, what prompted this is the fact that they're not,

(54:09):
you know, in Pennsylvania, Joshapiro is not accomplishing what some
of his constituents want. Another theory is that some evil
Republican did it right. It all runs the gamut what
happened there, And for me, even before we started to
learn more about it, I'm like, can we all just
agree that all political violence, if that is in fact
what this turns out to be, Not that it would

(54:30):
make it better if it wasn't, but can we all
agree that none of this is appropriate and everyone should
rot in an effing prison who participates in things like this,
obviously to varying degrees. But the guy's got a family
in there, he's got kids in there. And the fire
was set in a way that somebody clearly kind of
knew what they were doing because of how quickly it

(54:52):
was able to spread, And they haven't described why. They
think it was very knowledgeable, but they've given some exams
samples of things that would make it so you'll have
to read up on that. But like, I was disgusted,
and I don't like Josh Shapiro's politics. But it's like,
how many times on this show I've said some bad's

(55:12):
gonna happen, and that's what throws me off. So we're
going to go on record here and all of this
is bad and none of this has a place in
where we are. Have you you see these polls where
you have what was it, fifty eight percent of Democrats
say that sometimes you have to take it to a
new level, or at least they're comfortable with it. That's

(55:35):
a really depressing number from recent polling because when you
start justifying these, whether it's keen a tesla or attempting
to burn down the Pennsylvania governor's mansion, I've got no
use for you, and frankly you shouldn't be able to
vote anymore. Yeah, yeah, you heard me. If you're out convicting,
and you got to be clear, because of course politicians

(55:57):
would then use it. But hit them the felony charges
if it requires, and let's go ahead and stop them
being able to participate in this because they are not
good arbiters of this. They have no place in what
is supposed to be how we do politics here in America,
which ain't always clean and isn't always not corrupt, but
it is still a or at least was a far

(56:19):
bit better than most other places in the world where
some guy keeps winning the election by one hundred and
seven percent. Okay, so I can go on record and
condemn this. Why can't you go on record and condemn
what's going on and not just inanimate objects. With the
Tesla vandalism, there have been multiple instances where the people

(56:41):
who own the cars were violently assaulted. Remember that woman
who was just who was just beat down through her
own window. You have to condemn this, you have to
be against this, And I'm sorry. I know I'm gonna
make a little bit of politics out of this, but
I have seen on the left, well, I have seen
some condemnation of what's going on with the Tesla, you know,

(57:04):
literal arson. And how by the way, when they arsened
or were arsiting that in Austin and Los Angeles, those tests,
how do they know there wasn't a cleaning crew in there.
So don't give me this that they're one hundred percent different,
because they're not. It's reckless, abandon to do what you're
going to do, and I don't care. And then not
even being able to condemn the the doge corruption. I'll

(57:25):
leave that to the side, But like people need to
speak up and and and stop doing these dog whistles
that they always accuse Trump of but I see every
day on the left. Now back to the Shapiro thing.
I don't know. There's the internet's doing what the Internet
normally does, or they go through and they try to,
at least the honest ones try to ascertain what they

(57:46):
think might be the background. But there's a lot of
people and I have most of them blocked, and they're
on the right and the left who go through, and
then they just write a completely fake narrative, uh and
and and and then it it like goes it goes viral,
and by the time it goes viral, the actual details
don't matter anymore. So they found this dude, his name

(58:15):
is Cody Balmer, thirty eight, that the Pennsylvania State Police
took into custody. According to authorities, he hopped over the
fence surrounding the property forcibly entered the residence before setting
it on fire, later arrested in the area. And I
don't here's the thing. Twitter. I still love me some Twitter,

(58:37):
but we're to the point where not everything is policed
quickly enough. And I understand why because they were over
policing and in very intentional manner, and I have no
problem with that, but you have to fish through stuff.
I don't know what to believe about this guy. The
narrative that I kind of believe, just based on some

(58:58):
other reporting and some people who actually knew this dude
who have commented in stories, is there might have been
an incident or the state literally I don't know how
they foreclosed necessarily, but they were participatory in taking some
property from him, which is not something that it doesn't
happen right Imminent domains a whole thing, and that sent

(59:20):
him off, and he blamed Shapiro for that. I don't know,
and I would encourage all of you to sit here
and wait to see fully what's going on, because I
saw people I saw the very same photos of this
guy utilized to say that he's a big Republican and
then utilized to say he's a big Democrat. And I'm

(59:44):
not going to play these games. I'm not on this show,
You're welcome to on the social media. So I don't
know what his motivation was. I think we'll figure it
out pretty quick, and he's got a family, and how
sad for his family if they didn't know anything about this.
But that's the reality of what's going on out there.
So uh, we'll we'll wait and see. But no, everyone

(01:00:07):
needs to be on the same page. And I don't know.
I'd like to think that this would be some sort
of motivating factor, but I think unfortunately we're going to
play the what is worst game and then it's going
to turn into a political argument. So there's that. But
I'll go on the record, none of this is okay
and you should all be buried under the prison. How
was that? Okay? All right? Very good? Seven forty six

(01:00:28):
race stage who did a fantastic job at the Masters.
Might not make it turn into although there was a
little mudball action from some overnight stuff, but not held out.
I don't know if you watched the golf, but what
a Sunday bro good.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
Yeah it was.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
It was gorgeous. I watched, Yeah, I watched the end.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Yeah, O ga.

Speaker 4 (01:00:48):
He tried to blow it. He tried to blow it,
didn't he?

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
Oh yeah, I mean technically all three of them tried
to blow it, So yeah, they did. That's the nature
of the course, so what are you going to do?
And another banger today, but then you're gonna punish us.
So what do you got?

Speaker 4 (01:01:03):
Well, not terribly. I mean we're still close to her
above average most of the week. The book ends today
and Friday are eighty plus for the triangle. Maybe not
quite there in the triad today probably upper seventies, but
you get the picture. Dry, mild, seen a little bit
of cloud right now, but I don't see the terms
of rain coming out of the cloud, so we'll have
a few clouds. Otherwise, sunshine today, Let's go a southwest

(01:01:25):
breeze load to bit eighties to cover us all upper fifties,
low sixties tonight, and then a little cloud tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow be a little breezy upper sixties, low seventies, so
we do come down, but that's more typical this time
of year, and then more the same for Wednesday and Thursday,
mostly sunny both days, a little breezy, upper sixties, low seventies.
The load's of the night you'll be in the little
bit forties with maybe some upper thirties and some spots

(01:01:48):
to the west. But case he really going to beautiful
week by Friday, we're back closer to eighty and again
if we dare extend it out to the weekend, partial
sunshine and maybe everybody's eighty to eighty five for Saturday
and Sunday, so take it a little break from severe
weather in the nation's midsection. Also, it looks like maybe
next week things will start picking up a bit, so enjoy.
It's a beautiful weather. Time to get the yard cleaned

(01:02:09):
up right ready for spring and summer. So it looks
like a good week to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
Okay, well, no, no, no, no, don't say that. Now, lives
are going to hear that, and men are gonna get
tasked with doing stuff. And Easter weekend's coming up, and.

Speaker 4 (01:02:24):
Well, listen, you're all invited. I've got eighty bags of
mulch and two pounds of sod coming later in the
week for the upcoming weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
So oh fun, you get a party, man, right, all right,
thank you appreciate it. It's it a bit yeah, the
mulch and sod party. Oh please, don't ever invite me
to one of those, all right, seven forty eight, Hang on,
I want to talk about Bible users, which is how
they describe folks. But and you know, we got we're
sitting here staring at you know, Easter weekend on the horizon.

(01:02:53):
So basically they track and they break it down by gender,
and then they break it down by generations. Okay, so
and what they wanted to determine is each of those
generations and by gender, who reads the Bible and uses

(01:03:15):
it to instruct their life, even if they don't go
to church, but people who believe and use it to
instruct their life. And there's one thing that has always
been the case. As you get older, more people, which
is not unusual. You know, kids are at Sunday school,
they've met maybe all the way in, but women read
a lot more. And when you get into total population

(01:03:39):
than men used to. And then some happened over the
last two years because the differential originally between men and
women was seven percentage points, so thirty four percent of
the total male population forty one percent of the total
female population read or was quote a Bible user. And

(01:04:00):
all of a sudden, over the last two years it
changed and now the gap is almost closed. It's within
the margin of air, so thirty nine percent to forty
one percent margin of air two and a half percent.
That's not insignificant. And also the younger men are greatly
that it's them who's increasing much more. So my question is,

(01:04:22):
why did seven percent of the mail now I guess
it would be seven percent of seven it's a significant percentage,
it would be three and a half percent. Why would
three and a half percent of the male population just
suddenly decide that they're going to start reading the Bible.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
I mean it's the first I've I've heard of this. Yeah,
I haven't seen the study. I haven't read the study.
I know that I started reading what forty one days ago.
I'm really enjoying it. Never read it before, right, And
I can only speculate, And I can't tell you why
I did. I just woke up and said I'm going
to do this, and I feel like I have to do.
It's super weird, but I've been following that feeling and

(01:04:57):
it's been great. But if I had to think about
it inspec I would probably say, you have a society
and a culture where they're trying to push this new
sort of family unit and these new values and these
new ethics, and I think there's a lot part of
a family. Yeah. Yeah, and like they're deciding what gender is,
and they're reassigning all this stuff and words now mean

(01:05:18):
different things. And I think there's a part of the
human condition where we realize this isn't right, it doesn't
feel right, and we're looking for something to back up
the traditional ways we know things are supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
And the met are primarily the ones who were seen
as in the way of this progress. So I understand
why that may inspire them to turn to more traditional things.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
What would be better for that than the thing that
completely formed our justice system and our Christian civilization? Yes, yeah, yeah,
because you're looking at and you're like, oh, this is nonsense.
I need something real.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
Yeah, yeah, I one hundred percent. And I had to run.
I ran up by Ross without telling him where I
was at. But that is also my leading theory too,
And we had we started in New York City where
a guy he gets on the subway, he drops dead
of natural causes he can get murdered, and instead of
anybody being a human, everyone ignores him except for two people,

(01:06:11):
one who, an hour after the guy reportedly died, robbed
him of whatever he had on him, which wasn't much
because the guy, I think was homeless or semi homeless
how they described him. And then if that's not enough,
And by the way, people were in the train car
watching him rob this dude and nobody said anything. So

(01:06:31):
about an hour and a half later, another guy gets on,
sees this dead guy, still people on the train, and
he sexually assaults his corpse. And then finally then somebody's like,
they don't do anything at the time because but then
somebody does say something, So that's awful. The Pennsylvania governor's mansion,

(01:06:53):
some guy tried to light it on fire and was
actually somewhat successful, And it's just for me, it's watching
it then turn in the same political slop and fake
people posting fake social media to win political arguments or
having not done their research. I just I tire of
it so much. There's race to figure out who they

(01:07:13):
might maybe have voted for. It's fine to look into
the background, and a lot of times it's very instructive
and it's very interesting, but I'm just I'm at the
point where whether it's a Jewish governor if that had
something to do with it, or just a Democrat governor
or a Republican governor, or a leftist voter or a
right wing voter or anybody in this country, we have

(01:07:35):
to unilaterally and with no uncertain terms, not playing cute
and quoi with this go. We're not doing political violence here.
That's for Haiti, that's for you know, some country that's
going through a coup in Africa, and it shouldn't be
for them, and I don't wish that upon them. But
we're not there, and we can't justify this. And so

(01:07:57):
then when I see studies where they're like fifty eight
percent of college aged voters think that, you know, violence
in response to speech that they think is violent, right,
words are violence that the universities have trained a generation
that words are violence, think that it's justified. And so
they'll go and they'll key a tesla and draw swastika

(01:08:20):
on it, or maybe punch the woman driving it through
the window repeatedly. Or maybe they'll physically assault some student
that disagrees with them on a college campus, or they'll
attack a federal courthouse for one hundred nights straight while
we ignore it. Or they'll go infiltrate into people that
are over at the Capitol yes on January sixth and

(01:08:42):
use it as an opportunity not to stroll through like
Grandma's literally were in some of those videos to commit
actual acts of violence, either just because that's their thing
or they want to make the other people look bad.
It doesn't matter. I'm not here for any of it.
You shouldn't be either, And that's where this needs to start,
and then we'll figure out the motivation, whether it's religion,

(01:09:06):
political persuasion, or another thing. I was reading where this
guy may have had beef because he had some property
taken from him as part of either a tax bill
or imminent domain and he just lost it. And Shapiro
was the object of desire, being the dude who's the
head of the state. I don't know, but I'm just

(01:09:28):
I'm just done with it. And anyone who would act
in this, I'm just I can't wait for them to
get a felony charge so that they cannot vote anymore.
But again, it has to the problem is is that
you're going to have people that are then going to
do like they did with January sixth, right, where you're
just like, ten years, what did you do? You walk
through a threshold while a cop was playing Bejeweled, right,

(01:09:50):
Because that's how you get into the partisan insanity. And
I understand partisans going to be there, but I think
real adults can really look at this and go, yeah,
we're not going to arson the governor's manchion. Okay, you
know how I feel about Josh Stein. If one of
you did that, I hope they throw you under the prison.
And you know how I feel about that dude who

(01:10:10):
had me so angry on Friday because he's pretending like
he's lying to you, by the way, and he's he's
playing games with Western North Carolina again, so he's out
there and he's right. Oh, the Trump administration is abandoned
Western North Carolina. No, with the Trump administration on one
thing that had to do with debris cleanup with the

(01:10:33):
in public on public roads, which has largely been completed. Right,
it doesn't speak to the private but we're talking about
debris cleanup funding that specifically goes after public right of ways,
so roads, obviously, waterways, things like that, and which is
normally a thirty day thing, which Trump had expanded to

(01:10:54):
one hundred and eighty days. Did not opt to renew
that at the White House level, largely because now it's
time for at the state level for dollars provided in
any state money to handle individual things outside of the
FEMA programs that people are already working through. And he's

(01:11:14):
making it sound like Donald Trump did the thing that
he himself did and ignore western North Carolina. It's the
scumbaggist of move. I want him out of office. I
don't want anyone doing anything. And that's a perfectly reasonable position.
He's whining and crying over the Supreme Court thing where
they threw out three hundred votes from people who've never

(01:11:36):
been in North Carolina, have no plans to ever come there,
but who are usually generally the offspring of parents who
ended up living abroad and permanently deciding to live over
there but not get rid of their US citizenship. And
then there's a bunch more where ID verification was not
taking place, and people keep going, well, that's a bunch

(01:11:58):
of military votes, but in reality, a lot of its expats,
and they're just saying, you can't have these ondes. So
instead of pointing out that maybe, just maybe that, the
elections folks here drop the ball on actually enforcing how
we do elections, mostly because Roy Cooper decided to screw
with the Board of Election, the state Board of Elections, right,

(01:12:22):
I was somebody who was an incumbent who was popular
on both parties for his own hatchet woman. And then
Josh Stein's gonna piggyback that and say, oh, the look
at the Democrats or the Republicans are trying to steal
this thing. No, if you read into this, it sounds
like they got really lazy on these verifications. That's not
Republican's fault. I'm good on the court for calling them

(01:12:45):
on it. Absolutely. And Josh Stein, remember, is a scumbag
who during COVID tried to use the legislature saying no,
we're not going to adopt these crazy rule changes to voting.
You can't do that. Who then decided he would arbitrarily
do that himself and I probably not himself, probably in

(01:13:07):
conference with party officials, Mark Elias and various others, but
he would go ahead and he just make those changes
as though he's attorney general and he can just do that.
And the court all the way up to the Federal
Fourth Circuit Court said no, you can't do that. So
he tried to rig elections based on his partisan wants
and needs. There is zero he has zero to say

(01:13:30):
on this where you should listen to it. He has
proven himself to be that corrupt in this sense, not
to mention the corruption when he decided to go after
the district attorney over there in Greensboro and lie about
him and then had to have the courts come in
and literally say that he was his campaign ads were lying,

(01:13:51):
but he didn't care because it achieved what he wanted.
It's the Harry Reid model. But I don't want anything
to happen to him, and not just because it then
invigorates the others, because I don't. That's not the way
we solve problems. We solve problems by me never forgetting
to remind you what a piece of garbage partisan animal
that Josh Stein is and willing to do whatever, willing

(01:14:14):
to do whatever for his team. Your rights be damned.
That's how you win this. And eventually maybe people wake
up to it, or maybe they don't. But that's the
process that we have. You out fundraise, you out canvas.
You do what that persistence dude is doing. Scott, whatever,

(01:14:35):
you go up and you just make that your thing.
That's how you get it done. You don't get to
vandalize people's stuff, commit artison or god forbid, shoot at
the president or the former president now current president. We're
not doing this and it needs to be pushed back upon.
And every time Josh Stein goes out there and lies

(01:14:55):
and says that Western North Trump administration just abandoned Western
North Carolina and people don't try to understand what is
even going on. What do you think that means to
desperate people who still have yet to find permanent lodging there,
which debris removal has nothing to do with. When you

(01:15:16):
got nothing to lose, you got nothing to lose, man,
And those lies sit with people. Oh, the Republicans are
stealing the election in an unprecedented manner with the Supreme Court,
and it's all corrupt, and how can you believe it?
What does that do to desperate people? It gins them
up to maybe go, well, something's got to be done,

(01:15:37):
and I'm going to be the one to do it.
You're all feeding the beast. You're all feeding the beast,
and you don't care. And you're smart enough to know.
You're just not smart enough to not get caught every
now and then so I can talk about it on
the radio. Shame on you, and if something happens, that
is on you. But the media doesn't care. And these

(01:15:58):
elected officials don't care Black care because I don't. I
don't want any of it, no matter how annoyed somebody
makes me. I shouldn't have to say this on the radio.
And in fact, you want to talk about somebody who
was keyed up to do something horrible. Story number three today,
a Wisconsin teenager killed his parents and then lived with

(01:16:21):
their corpses for weeks to obtain the financial means to
assassinate Donald Trump. This story and there's some there's some
craziness here because we're going to go into a Russia
Ukraine thing too, which is part of this. Nikita Cassup, seventeen,
has been charged in Waukesha County with first degree murder, theft,

(01:16:44):
and other crimes at the deaths of his mother, Tatiana
Cassup and his father, Donald Mayer. Authorities alleged the teenager
fatally shot them at their home. This is Wakshaw's right
outside Milwaukee. I guess you don't know where it is. Well,
I guess you do, because of you know, we had
a couple stories there about the parades and stuff. So
he's in custody. But listen to this authority say Cassa

(01:17:08):
planned his parents' murders and then use he was able
to then I think it fourteen thousand dollars. I you know,
maybe they had it in the house or whatever. I
don't know. He had fourteen thousand dollars. And then he
needed the money to buy drones. Let's see here, Yeah

(01:17:29):
he's gonna buy drones. Passports. I guess he knew where
to get fake passports, and then let's see, yeah, explosives.
And by the way, the way that he got busted
is he was sharing his plans online, including somebody who
was really kind of spurring him on, who is described

(01:17:50):
as a Russian speaker, and I suspect maybe he speaks
Russian too, because his mom seems to be Russian, and
maybe he was raised to speak Russian. Because he's conversing
in doesn't look like he was using a translate app,
which is kind of important because translated app does. If
you're using a translate app and you've ever had a
conversation with somebody in another language, there's a lot of miscommunication,

(01:18:14):
and so that's something that defensively people might try to use.
So it's pretty clear he knew what he was talking
about and he planned after assassinating Trump to flee to
Ukraine and live there. So I don't know if this
guy got drawn in by somebody over there like that,
that's going to be very interesting to learn about, if
we can learn about it. But the idea that he

(01:18:37):
was willing to kill his own parents to get the
money to commit the assassination, ride a manifesto and then
put together a plan with a group of Russian speakers,
which again the fact that he his mom is Russian.
Russian or Ukraine. I'm not sure clearly which, but he
speaks Russian. I don't he might have relative. It's it's

(01:19:01):
a little we're a little thin on that part of it.
But then go live in Ukraine like nothing happened. No, no, no, no,
So he's in touch with the person speaks Russian, but
shared a plan to flee to Ukraine. Eventually he was
captured in Kansas prior to being able to carry it out. Now,
the reason he wanted to murder Trump, Okay, he wanted

(01:19:24):
to get rid of the president and even perhaps the
vice president is seemingly over the Trump's position on the
Ukraine Russia thing. Well, how many people have been screaming
that Donald Trump is a Putin puppet, and he's trying
to kill the Ukrainian people because he won't you know,

(01:19:47):
it wouldn't play ball. He threw Zelenski out of that.
Every ounce of that and every bit of coverage who
decided that Putin that Trump's somehow working with Putin even
though he's clearly not. He keeps screwing this guy financially
with Tariff's, which he's continued, and he was tariffing before
tariff was cool into Russia. And he's also been working

(01:20:09):
to really preclude the ability of Russia to sell natural
gas and control pipelines, which is quickly going to become
a problem with some of the stuff changing on geopolitical front.
It's really bad news for Russia. Trump's at the forefront
of that. But you got this kid so ginned up
through a combination of online trolls or online friends or

(01:20:29):
who knows, maybe online assets within certain governments, who's so
motivated he's willing to kill his own family. Like it's
that the American show. If you haven't seen that, that's
actually a pretty good show, and really just kind of
flip and do this stuff, and a lot of it's
being spurred on I'm sure in his circle around Hey,

(01:20:51):
you know, Russia's bad, Ukraine's bad or good and I
don't know the combination there, but in his mind, but
all of it, all of that ire was then turned
to Donald Trump. Well, what do you think spurred that?
You think you just decided, Well, that happens to be
the president. No, there's a seething hatred there. It's something
triggered in And again he lived with the bodies for

(01:21:15):
a long time months, so we'll watch that unfold. But yeah,
it's just it's just horrible story after a horrible story.
Over the weekend, between those three and speaking to terrorists,
we got to talk about what China's decided to do.
And it's pretty like how they don't ban TikTok now

(01:21:38):
is beyond me, but whatever, But China's plan and more importantly,
and by the way, I say China's plan because I
guarantee the government's coordinating some of this. But China's plan
to deal with the tariffs is really interesting because it's
screwing the Europeans almost more than anything. When it comes
to a lot of the brands that people want. I'll

(01:21:59):
get into the detail on that. And I think people's
eyes are being open and rightfully, so we'll do that
coming up next. So hang out exactly one hour from now.
A whole gagle of them. Is that what it's called,
A group of women, A gaggle Okay, whole gaggle of
them are getting shot into space. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
So the launch, and I had to look it up here,

(01:22:23):
actually is currently scheduled for nine thirty. I haven't seen
if they've adjusted it at all, which is sometimes had happens.
But at the start of the show, we're going with
nine thirty, and that is Eastern time, so I guess
eight thirty local time for them. Well where are they
in Texas? That actually maybe even mountain time, but whatever

(01:22:44):
is the expected launch of the all women crew as
part of this is Amazon, excuse me, Amazon and not
Elon musk thing. You got Katie Perry the singer in there.
You got Gail King, the news I do hear quotes,
and Oprah's bestie let's see here, just a whole bunch.

(01:23:08):
But my point is, as you can imagine, especially the
woke media, they're all super excited about this, but you know,
just just say it's a rocket launch. The fact that
you want to make an all woman thing means that
now I have to process it through that lens, and
I have some questions, like one Ross, did you see
the picture of the video attached to the story where

(01:23:29):
they were all in their flight suits. I'm pretty sure
we you were cutting and pasting it. It was probably
in the in the story. I know. I thought, yeah,
and you had you had six women in a room
all wearing the same thing, and it went okay, So
that's a positive. My concern is, what if they get

(01:23:49):
up there and there's a problem. Right. Do you remember
the movie with the Tom Hanks right, Apollo thirteen, Right,
and there's that famous scene where they get in a
master alarm like Houston, we have a problem, right, and said,
then Houston's got to go to work. And if you
remember the movie, they got to figure out how to
make an oxygen filter out of a square thing and
it's got to go on a circular thing or vice versa.

(01:24:11):
And they got to troubleshoot this and they're using you know,
the gimbal this and they do it. They got to
do the math and then it's cold and Kevin Bacon
almost freezes to death, but somehow they make it. They persevere,
and they work together. I got a question. If you're
a ground control there and you're trying to ascertain what
the problem is, and you ask an entire spaceship full
of women what the problem is, what do you think

(01:24:32):
the answer is going to be nothing? Yeah, no, no, no,
But you guys are listing and your point, your point
of re entry is going to be a problem. He
could burn up in the atmosphere. Do you guys want
some help?

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:24:44):
We're fine, we're fine, So you know, God, I don't
want anything to happen. I'm just saying it could get
very unusual if you're trying to troubleshoot something and you
just have six women telling you that everything's okay, over
and over again.

Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
I'm not gonna lie. I get like a really weird
vibe whenever they start promoting and talking about these big
events like oh, it's like the first all female type crew.
It reminds me of being in third grade or first
grade whatever it was, but in the eighties and they
kept you know, first teacher. Yeah, I get And I
hate to think that, and I don't want obviously, I

(01:25:19):
don't want anything bad to happen. But I can't help
what my reaction is because I was so young seeing
that as a kid. Yeah, like on the TV in
the classroom.

Speaker 1 (01:25:27):
Yeah, it's just let's just again, that's fine that they're
going up. And again it's not like they'll really have
to do anything. It's all it's what a twelve minute
flight or something, or eleven minutes you're actually in space.
I don't know the total run of it, Like, you know,
we watched the I remember watching the Shatner thing in
its entirety, and it didn't even take an hour.

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
So I remember that Shatner got down and it was
like life changing, like this big event, and he's he's
standing there trying to talk to Bezos or the cameras
about what an amazing event this was and seeing the
Earth and you know, the tiny blue to all this
kind of stuff, and then Bezos is over there spraying
champagne on his hose, on his I mean, two different areas.

Speaker 1 (01:26:08):
Everybody, everybody celebrates different It's okay, it's okay, you know,
and there's in you know, space is interesting. I learned
a lot physiologically with the the two that were trapped
on the space station. They're like, like, what it does
to your body? Like grade their hair, her whole face
actually changed.

Speaker 2 (01:26:26):
Yeah, No, it'll like do stuff to your bones and
your height.

Speaker 1 (01:26:29):
In your circulatory system. I guess it speeds it up
your rhythm. What if they hold on russ what if
when they land they're all cycling together. If it speeds
up that part of your thing? I mean, face does that?

Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
I mean I know it does it to your sleep cycle,
but your securing rhythm.

Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
So yeah, watch out whoever's got to crack open that hatch.
So no, look, in all seriousness, I think they're gonna
have a good time, And I honestly I wouldn't mock it,
except for the fact that I'm having to ram down
my throat by the media about oh, it's all it's
all all these the women in space, and it's like,
here's the thing that's not fair to them because they
don't expect Gail King or Katie Perry or any of

(01:27:07):
the rest to do anything right. In fact, they don't
want them to touch anything. Guys, you ever had a
woman mess with the presets on your car? You know what?
That and vice a versa for that matter. But since
it's all women, this is the direction we're going, right,
So they just they're gonna sit there in their chairs
and then at some point they're gonna unbuckle and they're gonna,
you know, they're gonna laugh and bounce around. Sanchez is

(01:27:31):
fairly padded, so she'll be fine and uh and then
they're gonna come down and there'll either be life changing
or they had said that. Gail King's a little nervous
about it. I hope she doesn't have them. Could I
The worst thing would be that you do this and
then you have a panic attack and pass out and
you miss the whole thing. That would be That would suck.
I would feel so bad for somebody who's willing to

(01:27:51):
do that because I ain't going up in your in
your your your space, fallus, not now right now, but
then you pass out, missed the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (01:28:01):
Yeah, I just think you have a whole generation of
kids that were scarred. They have PTSD from the challenger
from seeing It's like, I just have this physical visceral
reaction to this sort of hype anytime I see it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:14):
I'm but but Elon's thing was hype, that's you know, Yeah,
when he landed that rock when he caught the rocket,
that was hype.

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
I always feel this way every single time I can
help it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:25):
Yeah, the difference was when they caught the booster or
when they landed those two on that pad in the ocean.
There wasn't people on there, so it's easier to breathe easier,
you know what I'm saying. This has a bunch of
people in it, and some of them are fairly well known,
and I and I can't even imagine what happened, right.

Speaker 2 (01:28:43):
To think that we we live through that and there
was no like if that would happen today. Once again,
you don't want it to. If there was a Challenger
type incident that happened today in front of.

Speaker 1 (01:28:52):
It went straight over Texas ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
The schools would be closed for a week.

Speaker 1 (01:28:58):
If the all woman crew blew up.

Speaker 2 (01:29:00):
I'm saying, if the Challenger as it happened, if the
Challenger event happened in modern day, didn't imagine didn't happen
in the eighties, it happens in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:29:08):
All that hype, first teacher, here she is, They's gonna
be great.

Speaker 2 (01:29:12):
Yes, they roll out to TV back in the day
and on the Wheelie thing and they turn on the
big box TV. If that were to happen today, First up,
the kids would be highly disappointed in the fidelity quality
of the television. Correct, But if it did happen, they'd
be off for a week. They'd be getting therapy sessions.

Speaker 1 (01:29:27):
You probably had some small animals in there to pat
and yeah yeah. Whereas us we just like, go all right,
go go talk to your parents about it. We'll see tomorrow, right,
And my mom's like, oh, that happened, all right, Well
I'm busy, so right, yeah, just work. Could you imagine
had big big bird been on it, which was literally

(01:29:47):
the plan initially, if y'all didn't know that they were
gonna put big burg in a big bird in the challenger.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
You know, you have these younger generations that are like,
how are you? How is this one generation like so
the tougher you know, they're like, well, this thing happened
in first grade that you would not believe.

Speaker 1 (01:30:05):
Yeah, are you sitting down? Well, they would say nine
to eleven right, not necessarily for the youngest generation, but
you know, I was twenty I was twenty one when
nine to eleven happened, So we weren't you know in
the kids kids zone anymore. But I was just starting
out in radio and I was crazy, So I don't know, man,

(01:30:26):
I don't know raced agic from the Weather Channel, they
getting ready to shoot a bunch of women into space
in Texas. There is got Katie Perry's going, Gail King
all that. It's the Blue Origan launch that's supposed to
be had nine thirty easterns about forty five minutes. They're
not dealing with any weather over in West Texas, are they? No?

Speaker 4 (01:30:47):
A few clouds, temperatures should be great, they should be
good to go. Checked it earlier. No big systems, nothing
that it might be a little breezy. So I don't
know what their criteria are for that, but I think
they'll be in good shape.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
Yeah, all right, well we'll watch it happened probably here
in a little bit, so for now we'll watch you
do the weather listen anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:31:04):
Yeah, it's really nice next few days. I mean you
do get a little cool down when when I say that, though,
it's just really bringing temperatures back down to what we
call like normal for this time of year. So I'll
be too worried when you hear well, temperatures are going
to cool off normally upper sixties, low seventies today upper seventies,
low eighties, so everybody is probably about ten degrees above average.

(01:31:27):
Be a little breezy too, some clouds around this morning
mixing with sunshine. I do think more sun later tonight
in the sixties, and then tomorrow we'll go to the
upper sixties, low seventies, same thing on Wednesday. Eddie cloud's
early Tuesday give way to Sunshine's a really nice couple
of days. Even Thursday is not going to be bad,
upper sixties, low seventies, The nighttime lows may get into
the low forties, possibly some upper thirties, and then Friday

(01:31:49):
we're back up near eighty and well a little luck.
The weekend looks good too, but even milder weather coming in.
So looks like toward the end of the month we're
getting now more of a change in the pattern that
looks more like late spring and start to hit it
maybe summer. And although this week it's gonna be pretty
quiet across the nation, next week can make it a
little bit more active in terms of severe weather. But

(01:32:10):
right now down here through the week looks like for
the most part, should be a beautiful week.

Speaker 1 (01:32:13):
So so these with this grow of women are going
on this thousand how far is it that they go?
How many miles or not manybody? Yeah? How many? Well
I do? It's eleven minutes, right, right, so eleven minutes,
eleven minutes, and I don't think there's a bathroom stop
anywhere along the way. So what's good? Do any part
of this discuss problem? No, I mean that's it's I'm

(01:32:38):
yeah right. You all did this to yourselves by hyping it.
And it's a bunch of women instead of just a
bunch of people, a bunch of people going to space
have fun. All right, thanks, very appreciate it, all right, Yeah,
and nowhere to pull over? All right? A forty five?
Hang on? All right? Ready? Kick this week off? Normal?
Or are we gonna all freak out for another week?
What's happening?

Speaker 5 (01:32:56):
Well, so far, it looks like a fairly normal start
to the week, and despite all of the tariff turmoil
last week, stocks managed to post solid gains for the week.
We saw some major gains and major losses during the
accessions last week, but the major averages had loss or
gains rather on Friday, ranging from one and a half

(01:33:16):
percent to just over two percent, and that was Friday alone.
Futures appointing higher this morning right across the board. The
now futures are up four hundred and forty one points.
Investors are encouraged by President Trump's decision to exempt smartphones, laptops,
and other computer consumer electronics from his new tariffs. The
President says no one is getting off the hook entirely.

(01:33:38):
He says the reprieve will not be permanent, but the
President's decision to exempt smartphones and consumer electronics at least
even temporarily, has given Apple some breathing room. The one
hundred and twenty five percent tariffs plans for goods produced
in China threatened to upend Apple's supply chain. The company
was in crisis mode until the President announce that reprieve.

(01:34:02):
New survey finds economists are evenly divided on the impact
of new tariffs. Walter's Clure shared the results of a
survey with USA Today. The experts say it's a toss
up whether the nation's economy will see a downturn. They've
put the odds of a recession right around fifty to fifty.
Starbucks Barista is going to have a new, more uniform

(01:34:22):
look starting about a month from now. The iconic green
apron will stay, but a new dress code will require
employees to wear solid black tops. The bottoms will have
to be khaki, black or blue. CEO Brian Nichols, been
working to revitalize the coffee company Starbucks, says this streamline
dress code will create a sense of familiarity for customers,

(01:34:44):
and the all electric Cadillac Escalate IQ will be arriving
in dealer's showrooms soon. Casey, the suv may do away
with range anxiety because it can go up to four
hundred and sixty five miles on a charge, but you'll
need deep pockets to avoid four this luxury ev it
will be priced at one hundred and twenty seven thousand,

(01:35:04):
seven hundred dollars. That's forty thousand more than the gas
powered version.

Speaker 1 (01:35:09):
Casey, you know, it's almost a loaded full size pickup
truck down today. So yeah, as crazy as that sounds,
because that would have been a house about five minutes ago.
But all right, beach to their own, Jeff, thank you
very much. We'll talk tomorrow, sir. All right, have a
good one. Ross. Did you see the Katie we're talking
just about the launch. Somebody sent that I had not
seen this. So the Katy Perry quote, is this helpful?

(01:35:36):
Is this helpful? In because this is still a serious thing.
You getting shot into space, you know, you get above
the Carmen line or whatever it is, and you know
that's there's a lot of there's a lot of danger associated.
So her quote is, quote, we are going to put
the ass in astronaut and it's the first time people

(01:35:58):
are going to space in full glam. You remember when
Neil Armstrong was on the Moon and he ripped his
shirt off and then Aldron was taking first thirst trap
photos and then they sent him up to Michael Collins
so he could post him to the various social medias.

Speaker 2 (01:36:16):
I do remember that, and that's why a lot of
people say that the moon landing was fake, because he
shouldn't have been able to rip it off like that,
Like he's that's gumption, man. That was what he should
have like imploded or frozen or whatever. But that's American moxie.

Speaker 1 (01:36:28):
You hold your breath, You're fine, right, Yeah, I believe
that's the thing. And I'm pretty sure I can give
you several examples of people getting jettison through the airlock
then surviving, so I guess not necessarily a thing. Of
course they didn't do it. What are you talking about?
I mean, I understand that you're Katy Perry and your
pop start again. I don't really have anything against Katy Perry,

(01:36:49):
but I know maybe I'm being an old fuddy duddy
and I just because at some point space has got
to be fun more than fearful or serious. And I
understand there is there is a fun element to it.
I get that one hundred percent. But like, I don't
know if I'm cracking. And also I don't know that
we need to I don't know that we need to

(01:37:10):
have a badonka donk off about who's going up into space.
I already our society has clearly transitioned in pop culture
that what they want is a rather rotundirrier versus you know,
even fifteen years ago over with the prey. And by
the way, whatever your preferences is yours. But like the
Kim Kardashian effect has infiltrated space.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
Now, yeah, it's the first space.

Speaker 1 (01:37:35):
That's what I'm doing. This is what I'm wondering. If
Katy Perry's gonna work I mean that in a serious manner.
Can you twerk in zero gravity? I don't know, all right,
I didn't get to the China story, but it ain't
going nowhere. I'll me give you just a little teaser
on it real quick, and then we'll get into this
more tomorrow because I want to pull some more audio.

(01:37:57):
China's reaction now is to tear the the reveal off
exactly how some of the world's most expensive luxury brands
I'll give you just a little snippet of the audio
are actually made made in Italy.

Speaker 4 (01:38:13):
Gucci eighty percent come from Chinese factory. They just add
the logo in Europe to make you pay the price
of ten.

Speaker 1 (01:38:22):
Times these brands. And one of the brands that I
did watch, and like I said, we'll get into more
of it tomorrow was Hermes. I refuse to say, amez
who do not correct me. I'm not gonna douche up
the way I speak. It's Hermes, deal with it. But
that brand sells a purse for thirty eight thousand dollars
that has an out, uses very high quality materials, don't

(01:38:43):
get me wrong, but they sell it costs fourteen hundred
dollars to make and so China's just like, here's the deal.
We're going to we're gonna lay all this bear
