And it was really refreshing because 46 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: this doesn't often happen when you go to a fast 47 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: food joint. The person who waited on me was not high. 48 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: There was a lucid kind of transaction. They're cognizant of 49 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: what was going on around him, and I'm just so 50 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: appreciative of that. Do you encounter a lot of people 51 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: who you think may be high in those kind of jobs. 52 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: I kind of just assumed it was a requirement the 53 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 3: way everybody acted in these establishments, and what. 54 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: When you so when you can smell the funk coming 55 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: out of the drive through window, it kind of gives 56 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: you a clue. But then when they don't have a 57 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: clue about anything, and they're looking at money like it's 58 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: an alien being. Then you know for sure. 59 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 3: If they like you enough, they'll let you smack it 60 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 3: through the window. I've seen that happen before as well. 61 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 4: And speaking of smacking, Indiana football smacking fifty six to 62 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 4: twenty two pick six on the first drive set the 63 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: tone for the game, Indiana, I'm excuse me. 64 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: Oregon went down a march down, tied the game at seven, 65 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 3: but Indiana just took control. They were up thirty five 66 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 3: to seven and a half and there was just no 67 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: looking back. 68 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: Oregon Ducks cannot do anything. If the New York Gents 69 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: aren't enough to convince Dante Moore to stay in college, 70 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: that game should have been Yeah. 71 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 3: Indiana will face Miami in the National Championship, the number 72 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 3: one seed versus the tenth seed Miami Florida. That kicks 73 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: off Monday, January nineteenth at seven thirty. 74 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: If the Hurricanes should win that game, that will be 75 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: one of the great upsets in all of the history 76 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: of college football. Ain't gonna happen. I don't think. Watching 77 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,239 Speaker 1: Indiana play last night. 78 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 3: The early look ahead lines is looking about a five 79 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 3: and a half to seven and a half point favorite. 80 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 3: I think if Miami doesn't turn the ball over, they 81 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: will stand a chance. But Indiana, if they just play 82 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 3: their discipline, dominant football, it's gonna be a long night. 83 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: Court Signetti is absolutely bar none, the best coach in 84 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: college football, There's no question about it. Yeah, and part 85 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: of that Saban coaching tree. 86 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 3: No doubt. What else we got college basketball today?

This morning show, as I 145 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: mentioned a few moments ago, the theme is gratitude, and 146 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: usually I reserve something like that for Thanksgiving because that's 147 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: the time you traditionally show gratitude, give thanks and the like. 148 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: But it was really brought in to focus on three 149 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: different things, and I'll be highlighting each of these as 150 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: we move through the morning, and by the way, as 151 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: I do, I'd like you to take some time, take 152 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: some stock and think about the things that you are 153 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: grateful for, truly grateful for. And it could be something 154 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: very small, it could be the biggest thing in your life. 155 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: In my case, these are pretty big. Yesterday my wife 156 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: endured another breast cancer lump back to me at Saint 157 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Edgewood, and I am so grateful that their hands 158 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: were controlled by God Almighty, and I do believe that 159 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: and the outcome was favorable. We'll know more in the 160 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: next few days. But everything, and I'm talking about from 161 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: the very time we entered the facility to the time 162 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: we left. The people at Sainty Edgeward are our top 163 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: notch and I'll get into some individual examples as we 164 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: proceed through the morning. So I'm very, very grateful that 165 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: God had his hand on the entire operation from start 166 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: to finish, and in Christa's recovery. She is listening this morning. 167 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: I think unless she fell back asleep, and she did 168 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: fall back asleep, who can blame her after going through 169 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: what she went through yesterday.

It's five point fifty four seven of the 203 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: Saturday Morning Edition for this Saturday, January tenth, twenty twenty six. 204 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: You think it's hard remembering to write a check, but 205 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: nobody writes checks anymore. To remember the new year this 206 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: early on, But do you have to say it. I've 207 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: almost got to remind myself that, yeah, we flipped the 208 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: calendar again, which is just something I knew was coming. 209 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: You knew it too, But here it is twenty twenty. 210 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: I cannot even imagine that.

Let's try that again. It's a 311 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: one hundred year old radio. But what's the brand. 312 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 5: It's an Earla, but the model is monodic S fifty 313 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 5: now monaudic. It was called led many to call it 314 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 5: the single Richard. Okay, that's completely false. But for those 315 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 5: of you playing at home, if you've got the beer reference, 316 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 5: then put yourself down for two bonus points and twenty 317 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 5: s and H green stamps. This set is an old, 318 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 5: very early TRF. Of course, nineteen twenty six everything's early. 319 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 5: Then it's got two separate tuning dials that ad just 320 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 5: three different tuning capacitors, so one's doing double duty. Still 321 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 5: makes it interesting. The tune stations. But the TRF had 322 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 5: superior audio quality but not great selectivity, so you have 323 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 5: to kind of use both tuning dials. 324 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: So to tune in one station, you've got to move 325 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: two knobs. 326 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 5: That's right, and you can move one in one direction, 327 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 5: the other in the other direction, and then pick up 328 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 5: the station again. That gave you the ability if you 329 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 5: had two stations that were like right on top of 330 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 5: each other, you can pick them up on a two 331 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 5: RERAF at the same time. This could separate them out 332 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 5: a little bit. But it's a battery tabletop wood radio. 333 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 5: It's beautiful thing. And it could run on a six 334 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 5: volt storage battery and sixteen nine volt batteries. But I'm 335 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 5: using power supplies and the tour can just fine. Okay, Hey, 336 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 5: let's go to the catalog, shall we. 337 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: Wow, they had catalogs back in nineteen twenty six. 338 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 5: This is amazing they did, and some people could read. Now, 339 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 5: I said it build this phenomenal new radio in forty 340 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 5: five minutes. The revolutionary Earla Sirkloyd five factory built kit 341 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 5: spelt bilt is forty nine dollars and fifty. 342 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: Cents, so they could read what they couldn't spell. 343 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, if it's factory built. But it's a kit. Huh oh, 344 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 5: well it continues, ready cut, flexible, thaughderless leads makes it 345 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 5: ridiculously easy to wire, so the radio comes complete, except 346 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 5: you have to connect a handful of wires literally. I 347 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 5: guess the idea was to suggest that you're saving money, 348 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 5: and you also want to claim you built the thing. Anyways, 349 00:22:54,520 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 5: amazing new inductance principle britains results hardly thought possible. Isn't 350 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 5: bragging about that. It isn't new principles of inductance like 351 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 5: new laws of physics. It didn't know we could think. 352 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 5: So send for the book Better Radio Reception, all right, 353 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 5: hold on, So inductance principles didn't change because of anything 354 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 5: the company did. But nonetheless, buy this book and how 355 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 5: to string an antenna and it'll work great. Finally, now 356 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 5: anyone can build the finest of receivers and only a 357 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 5: few minutes. Wait a minute, it was forty five minutes 358 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 5: earlier in the article. 359 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: Well, you know, a few is relative. You know how 360 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: much time you actually have. So if you've got an 361 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: hour to live, if you've got an hour to live 362 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: and build the radio in that hour, it's interminably long 363 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: forty five minutes. I'll tell you. 364 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 5: That if you failed miserably assembling toys Christmas morning, and 365 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 5: never mind trying to build furniture for Mykia, you could 366 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 5: probably still do this one. 367 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: You know what I love? This is what I can't do. 368 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: Other people are just fine doing it. You'd be great 369 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: at it because you're just good at this kind of stuff. 370 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: I cannot learn. How do you put anything together from 371 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: watching a YouTube video? I can't. 372 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: Well. 373 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 5: And the first problem with the scenario is you better 374 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 5: pick the right YouTube video. That's the thing. Yeah, exactly, 375 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 5: I don't know what I'm doing, but here let me 376 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 5: show everyone else how not to do it. I remember 377 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 5: a car that Murray had one time. You need to 378 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 5: figure out how to get the top off the engine. 379 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 5: So he replace a spark plug and the first thing 380 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 5: the guy grabbed the chrow bar. 381 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: No, not a good sign. Not a good all right, Ricky? Well, 382 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: thank you that again. 383 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 5: That's the What was the brand name URLOW, which actually 384 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 5: stands for Electrical Research Laboratories of Chicago, Illinois. 385 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: And the model was a Mono Dick. Yes, that's fifty 386 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: a Mono Dick. Acwer do you remember the key the 387 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: heath kits from Radio Shack. 388 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,959 Speaker 5: Well those were two different things. But yeah, the heath kit, 389 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 5: heath kits from Heath and then Zenas bought them out later. 390 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 5: I built a couple of those when I was when 391 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 5: I was a kid, and yeah they were awesome. 392 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: How easy were those to put together? Easier than this one? 393 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 5: Oh heavens no, No, that was. You've got a box 394 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 5: of parts and a set of encyclopedias with instructions, and 395 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 5: you better pay attention. 396 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: To learn how it was to learn how to put 397 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: a radio together.

Glenn Beck, 466 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 11: who appears on a lot of iHeartRadio stations and the 467 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 11: New York Posts have investigative reporters in Minnesota, and they 468 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 11: came up with this gem. Yes, seven hundred million dollars 469 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 11: in suitcases, I assume maybe a million dollars eat to 470 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 11: the International Airport in Minneapolis. Absolutely amazing over a twenty 471 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 11: month period, and all of that money went to Somalia. 472 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 11: Now that was the report. It raised a hell of 473 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 11: a lot of questions. Do they X ray, do they 474 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 11: ask you to open your suitcase when you go through 475 00:30:54,720 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 11: the Minneapolis airport. And how many times did they do it? 476 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 11: Was it seven hundred? Was it three hundred and fifty? 477 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 11: I found this story absolutely amazing, and it copped the 478 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 11: one about the woman being shot by the cop absolutely amazing. 479 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 11: The second story this week, this actually did occur earlier 480 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 11: in the week. Mom Donnie has some fruitcake, white chick. 481 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 11: It's amazing how white people are involved in Minnesota and 482 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 11: New York now and all of the crazy stuff that's 483 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 11: going on, which is anti white. But she wants to 484 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 11: kick white people out of their rent enforced and controlled 485 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 11: abode in Manhattan. And I heard this and I thought, 486 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 11: my god, is this a game of can you match? 487 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 11: Can you top this? Every week they come up with 488 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 11: something like this, and I'm getting ahead himself. The twenty 489 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 11: twenty one Infrastructure Bill, which we talked about two three 490 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 11: years ago, was it started about three point five three 491 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 11: point seven trillion dollars. I think it got pared down 492 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 11: to one point seven at the end. But you got 493 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 11: to read the whole bill. When they come up with 494 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 11: this crap, you can't trust the titles. And what we 495 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 11: found in that bill was a grant proposal for the 496 00:32:50,280 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 11: States if they promoted multi family dwellings and soon even 497 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 11: as I saw this, I thought, oh wow, the single 498 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 11: family home is going out the window. They don't like that, 499 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 11: And of course it was amazing. At the time we 500 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 11: pointed out that every major Democrat in this country has 501 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 11: at least one Obama has three homes, and they're all 502 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 11: single family homes, and they're all detached. And I will 503 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 11: use the word detached because it reminds me of a 504 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 11: real estate show that I used to watch on BBC, 505 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 11: and it was really interesting to see really expensive homes 506 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 11: where if it's attached to the home next to it, 507 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 11: maybe on either side, it is cheaper than the single 508 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 11: family detached home. And I thought, why did they do 509 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 11: this in Britain? But I just put it aside. But 510 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:13,479 Speaker 11: this brought back memories of that. Uh, just just think 511 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 11: about what they're trying to do. They are attacking homesteads. 512 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 11: And the last thing that I wanted to mention this 513 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 11: was a gratifying report. Of all the stories that have 514 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 11: popped up along the border, this one pleased me the most. 515 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 11: We have a bunch of ranchers, we have a bunch 516 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:38,479 Speaker 11: of farmers, who own land that's contiguous obviously to the river, 517 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 11: and they obviously got overrun every day for four years. 518 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 11: Uh and the sith they could not maintain their properties. 519 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 11: And I thought to myself was wait a minute, wait 520 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 11: a minute. Was this intentional by the administration to destroy 521 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 11: the single family farm? 522 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 2: Well? 523 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 11: I saw pictures this week video these ranchers, and by 524 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 11: the way, a lot of them are Hispanic. I just 525 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 11: thought i'd mentioned that. And they are cleaning their fields, 526 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 11: they are farming their fields, they're you know, taking care 527 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 11: of cattle and that sort of thing as they normally 528 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 11: would do. Think about this, folks, the single family farm, 529 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 11: which is a mainstay of the American economy, the single 530 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 11: family home. They are trying to destroy this, And that 531 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 11: was what I gathered from this week. 532 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, Steve, I think it's a 533 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: fantastic report. I'm glad you brought it to light this morning. 534 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: And what I think is that they're trying to eliminate 535 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: individual autonomy. Of course, our Constitution was written for the individual. 536 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: It wasn't written for the collective. It wasn't written for 537 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,399 Speaker 1: the greater good. It was to give the individual, the hm, 538 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: the her, their children. Individual rights, not collective rights. And 539 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: they're coming right out in New York City and saying 540 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 1: the collective mom, Donnie and the woman that Steve Resference 541 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,800 Speaker 1: does see a Weaver who famously in twenty twenty one 542 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: said that especially white people should have no rights to 543 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: have individual home ownership. We should reimagine that very very commy. 544 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: It's not even socialist. It's communist. Anytime someone talks about 545 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 1: the collective over the individual, no matter what that individual's skin, 546 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: it's communism and it's evil and it's killed more people 547 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: over the last century than any other form of government 548 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,439 Speaker 1: or social order. And that's what there I just saw 549 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: this morning. There is a proposed bill in the state 550 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,760 Speaker 1: of Massachusetts to limit how many miles you can drive 551 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: because they don't want your freedom of movement, your individual 552 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 1: freedom of movement. We saw a lot of that in 553 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: the early COVID restrictions. It was wrong then, it's wrong now. 554 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: Ray in Loveland, Brother Scott, I am so grateful for you. 555 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,280 Speaker 1: How are you this morning? 556 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 7: Good morning, Good morning, my friend, good morning, and God's 557 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 7: blessing to your dear sweet wife, Krista.

And I love your 566 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 7: topic this morning. I'm very thankful for you and a 567 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 7: leave on this note. On this note, and that is 568 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 7: family and friends will feed you when money will fail you. 569 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 7: And I'm very thankful to have friends like you and 570 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 7: Christ in our little happy, happy bunch this morning. So 571 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 7: God bless you, brother, all the very best. 572 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: Thank you for feeding me literally over the years and spiritually. 573 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: Brother into another hour of the Saturday Morning edition for 574 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: this Saturday, January tenth, twenty twenty six. I'm Gary Jeff Walker, 575 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 1: you or you, and that is perfectly fine with me. Rejoice, 576 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: all us pray, continually, give thanks and all circumstance for 577 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,280 Speaker 1: this is God's will for you and Christ. Jesus Amen. 578 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: It's a gratitude show this morning, and it's not even Thanksgiving. 579 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,959 Speaker 1: Steve Sulty, good morning, my friend, Good morning, Gary Jeff 580 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: grateful for you. And I saw your text about praying 581 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: for Christ on a daily basis. He's in your daily prayers. 582 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: We appreciate that, along with everybody else who took time, 583 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,280 Speaker 1: who knew what was going on with her to petition 584 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 1: in front of the Lord for her, and well, surprise, surprise, 585 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: it worked. 586 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:41,759 Speaker 2: Very good, very good. 587 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 12: So, as I said in my text earlier, taking a 588 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 12: little bit different taxes this morning. I know you always 589 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 12: like to hear things about, you know, climate change and 590 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,439 Speaker 12: the hope that it is so on and so forth. 591 00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 12: But anyway, saw something this past week. For many many years, 592 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 12: probably many decades actually, I've been I've supported an organization 593 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 12: called Property Environment and Environment Research Center of the NINEUS 594 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 12: PERK and Bozeman, Montana. 595 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 13: UH. 596 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 12: They combine free in voluntary markets, property rights and with conservation. 597 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 12: So if anybody's interested at p e ERC dot org. 598 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 12: SO got their winter issue of PERK Reports and had 599 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 12: a lot of nice little stuff in it, but two 600 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 12: of them caught my eye. I know a lot of people, 601 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 12: you know, know about the Endangered Species Act and how 602 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 12: bad it is giving people incentives to shoot, shovel and 603 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 12: shut up. So Perk's legal wins shapes new Endangered Species reformed. 604 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 12: The US Fish and Wildlife Services proposed to overhaul parts 605 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 12: of the Endangered Species Act policy and particularly rescinding the 606 00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 12: controversial quote blanket four D rule for threatened species, as 607 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 12: well as other broader changes of captat designation, consulting standards, 608 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 12: and topics. The announcement follows Perk and the Rocky Mountain 609 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 12: Elk Foundation's successful joint lilitication challenging the agency's reliance on 610 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 12: this one size fits. 611 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:17,439 Speaker 5: All four D rule. 612 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,720 Speaker 12: And we hear that a lot in bureaucracies, one size 613 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 12: that all exactly Steve. 614 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: For those who don't, what is the four D rule. 615 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 12: Well, basically they look at everything, not species specific, but 616 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 12: one size fits all, whether it's a threatened fish or 617 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 12: bird or cat or whatever. One size fits all. So 618 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 12: now they want to they're they're making they want They 619 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 12: litigated this case and one and now the US What 620 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 12: Dish Wildlife Service has to do proposed reforms and they 621 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 12: have been proposed h to restore Congress's original intent, which 622 00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 12: is tailored, science driven rules and that reward conservation. So 623 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 12: you know, rules change, whether you're looking at a fish, 624 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 12: a bird, you know, a rat, whatever. So Uh, this 625 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 12: is a great step in helping actually to promote recovery 626 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:24,760 Speaker 12: and conservation versus what is happening before is punishing people 627 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 12: again in the past. If in the past, if you 628 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 12: found something that you thought was a threatened species, you 629 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 12: you know the rule was, I mean, what became is 630 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 12: shoot shovel, shovel and shut up. The last thing you 631 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 12: wanted to do is a threatened species on your property. 632 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 12: Basically the government took it over. 633 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:43,439 Speaker 2: Yeah. 634 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: This this allows for customized species specific regulations for threatened 635 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 1: species under the Endangered Species Act, enabling tailored conservation measures 636 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: measures rather than applying blank and endangered species prohibition. 637 00:42:58,680 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 2: So you got it. 638 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: You got flexibility to permit specific low impact activities like 639 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: certain land management or agricultural practices, while protecting the species 640 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: from significant harm. You got it, all right. I didn't 641 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 1: know it. I gurgled it. Go ahead. 642 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 14: Yeah. 643 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 12: The next one, the title caught my eye. So that's 644 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 12: why I read it and said, for beavers, it's one 645 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 12: damn thing after another, of course. 646 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 14: Oh okay. 647 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 12: Two new studies highlight just how effective fevers are at 648 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 12: creating rich, diverse wetlands, out performing human built ponds by 649 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 12: a wide margin. Researchers found that beaver engineered sites hosted 650 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 12: twice as many hoverflies and nearly fifty percent more butterflies 651 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 12: and a broader diversion of bats than comparable human made 652 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 12: ponds or free flowing streams. The findings added to a 653 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 12: growing body of evans said fevers are powerful, low cost 654 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 12: partners and watershed restoration, route resilience, and ham aitat creation. 655 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,240 Speaker 14: As landowners and agency. 656 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 12: Seek scalable tools for ecological improvement, these ecological engineers continue 657 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 12: to demonstrate to sometimes the best restoration strategy is simply 658 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:12,959 Speaker 12: giving nature. 659 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:13,759 Speaker 5: Room to work. 660 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 1: How about that the Army Corps of Engineer needs to 661 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: hire some beavers. 662 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 12: So basically, what if you want to improve your ecological 663 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,320 Speaker 12: area of a stream and whatnot create something that beavers 664 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 12: will love to habitat, and you know, at very low 665 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 12: costs or no costs. 666 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: All right, So I am grateful for beavers this morning, Steve, 667 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: thank you on this show of gratitude. I am grateful 668 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 1: for our next segment. I got named Tom Davis worked 669 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: here in the news department at seven hundred WLW up 670 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:58,240 Speaker 1: till I forget when Tom left. But back in twenty fifteen, 671 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: I asked the news director Jeff Henderson, the guy who 672 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,720 Speaker 1: was in charge of the news department at the time, 673 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:10,399 Speaker 1: another great guy, good news director. I said, because Tom 674 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 1: usually did the news in the mornings, and I said, 675 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: if Tom has time, I'd like him for a segment 676 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:23,280 Speaker 1: on Saturday morning show. And Jeff's only thing was he said, Okay, 677 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 1: you can't get into politics, because that was back when 678 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: news departments still were more straight down the middle and 679 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: didn't get into commentary and politics in their newscasts. I said, no, 680 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 1: that's fine. I'm thinking about maybe having him just look 681 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,400 Speaker 1: for wild news stories from around the country, kind of 682 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 1: like smoking gun stuff, fark the onion, just wild different 683 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 1: stories from around the nation, around the world, and he 684 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 1: could do a report on that, And so Jeff gave 685 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,839 Speaker 1: the green light and Tom wanted to do it. Tom 686 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 1: has an extensive history in broadcasting, not just news. Today, 687 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: Tom's at a classic rock station in Indianapolis, and like 688 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,399 Speaker 1: I said, he left our employee a long long time ago. 689 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: But when he did leave, I said, Tom, can you 690 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:24,919 Speaker 1: still do the diaries thing on Saturday Morning? He checked 691 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,799 Speaker 1: with his bosses and I checked here and there were 692 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: no conflicts, no problems with that, and even though he 693 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:37,720 Speaker 1: doesn't get paid a dime, he does research every week 694 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,359 Speaker 1: and puts together these little minute and a half two 695 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:45,640 Speaker 1: minute news casts of wacky stuff that you hear every 696 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: Saturday morning. So I'm grateful that Tom. And when he 697 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,400 Speaker 1: takes a week off, it doesn't affect his pay at 698 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,879 Speaker 1: all because he's not getting paid a dime for doing it. 699 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,760 Speaker 1: And I joke with him about that. He still continues 700 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,799 Speaker 1: to do it anyway, because he he loves being on 701 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 1: the air, And I'm gonna assume that means he loves 702 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: being on the air on my show, because after all 703 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: these years of not working here anymore, he still does 704 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 1: these reports. And here is another one of the Tom 705 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:32,400 Speaker 1: Davis diaries I like to refer to as the and 706 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,800 Speaker 1: you know what it is. And here's this week's crop 707 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 1: a weird crap from all over the country. Tom Davis, please, 708 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 1: good morning, Gary, Jeff. 709 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 15: This week, her name is Wendy and she knows exactly 710 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,760 Speaker 15: where the beef is. But first in winter Haven, Florida, 711 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 15: my man recently broke into a home to use the microwave. 712 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 15: John Crookham left his wallet behind and told cops he 713 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,800 Speaker 15: was hungry and just wanted to eat some hot pockets 714 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 15: and some Vienna saw messages. The homeowner found the wall 715 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,760 Speaker 15: with John's ID and credit cards inside. 716 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 1: He was charged with burglary. 717 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 15: Meanwhile, in Uzbekistan, a woman is lucky to be alive 718 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,440 Speaker 15: after a set of birthday cake sparklers exploded in her face. 719 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 15: The birthday girl was receiving her cake from friends when 720 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,600 Speaker 15: the sparklers touched a hydrogen filled balloon and exploded. The 721 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 15: blaze lasted only a few seconds, but it was so 722 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,799 Speaker 15: big that it engulfed the entire doorway. 723 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 1: Luckily, nobody was hurt. 724 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 15: In Louisiana, a woman was recently arrested after attacking a 725 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,759 Speaker 15: cop while swimming nude in a private pond. Aaron Elizabeth 726 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 15: Sutton claimed that she was quote trying to be a 727 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 15: mermaid unquote. She resisted officers and even charged at one 728 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 15: kicking and punching. 729 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 1: She was charged with battery and criminal trespassing. 730 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 15: And Finally, a Florida tattoo shop owner, Wendy Marshall was 731 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 15: going viral because she eats two pounds of raw meat 732 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,480 Speaker 15: on a daily basis. Her favorite cuts include ground chuck, 733 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 15: Colt Cuts US, and Porterhouse. Wendy says the meat causes 734 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,719 Speaker 15: her to burp loudly. Wendy has been eating raw meat 735 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,319 Speaker 15: since childhood, when she and her grandmother used to chew 736 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 15: the fat off of it.

You into another hour of this 740 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 1: Saturday morning edition The Gratitude Show, and this next guy 741 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:38,239 Speaker 1: I'm definitely grateful for by the way, Chris to two 742 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 1: point zero. Of course, I'm grateful you, dear, grateful that 743 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,800 Speaker 1: you're on the mend, on the way to feeling better. 744 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 1: I have a surprise for you when I get home. 745 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:53,399 Speaker 1: Not another word, thanks, brother Ray Scott of Lovelin. Now, 746 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 1: this guy has been dutifully giving us some kind of 747 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 1: scientific information on this program, but almost as well as 748 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,239 Speaker 1: long as I can remember science. 749 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,440 Speaker 8: As a night scientist hit surprising all, binding me. 750 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 1: With and yet another science minute on a Saturday. Good morning, Michael, 751 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:14,920 Speaker 1: how are. 752 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,600 Speaker 2: You Gratitude Saturday? 753 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 1: Yes, sad to be here, Great to be here. 754 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:21,839 Speaker 2: I've been. 755 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 16: I've heard Steve segment earlier. I was pro beaver before 756 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,799 Speaker 16: Hugh Beaumont. So let me just tell you that. 757 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 1: Lord if you if you got that reference, you're as 758 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 1: old as us. Thank you. 759 00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:43,839 Speaker 16: So this is a kind of science, but it's business related. Also, 760 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,439 Speaker 16: I can't believe this hasn't hit hit your news yet 761 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 16: because yesterday Meta, which is Facebook, signed and the dollar 762 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:54,400 Speaker 16: amount was not disclosed. 763 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 2: They signed a. 764 00:50:55,080 --> 00:51:00,439 Speaker 16: Huge nuclear power deal with three nuclear power plans. I'll 765 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,279 Speaker 16: explain why this relates that directly to us here, but 766 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 16: to get six point six gigawatts, that's enough power to 767 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 16: power over five million homes by twenty thirty five. Now, 768 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 16: the three companies that they that they made a deal 769 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 16: with Terra Power, Oklow and Vistra, and I'll get to 770 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 16: the specifics of Viscera. It's very interesting. But Terra Power 771 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 16: they're going to build Meta and they've already have two 772 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:33,280 Speaker 16: of them under contract, but six more SMR small module 773 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 16: reactors they called Natrium reactors where they're based on sodium 774 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:38,360 Speaker 16: cooling science. 775 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 2: They don't know where these. 776 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,440 Speaker 16: Reactors are going to be built yet, they may be 777 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,720 Speaker 16: built around in this area. And explain why because currently 778 00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,799 Speaker 16: Meta has a huge data center facility being built in 779 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 16: New Albany, Ohio, which is outside Columbus, and that's going 780 00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:58,760 Speaker 16: to take about one gigawats to power. The other company, 781 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 16: these two Vistra. You may remember Vistra. They change their name. 782 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 16: They were called First Energy, yep, and First Energy runs 783 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,960 Speaker 16: Davis Bessie and they also run Ferry. And you might 784 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,440 Speaker 16: remember those two because a guy named Larry Householder got 785 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,920 Speaker 16: sent up the river because he took a little bit 786 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:20,280 Speaker 16: of bride money to keep those in existence for the voting, 787 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,840 Speaker 16: remember all that going down about five years ago. He 788 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 16: really didn't need to do that because now Vistra is 789 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 16: going to be paid by Meta to not only buy 790 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 16: over two years people WoT the power from them, and 791 00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,480 Speaker 16: also renew their license for the next twenty years and 792 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,360 Speaker 16: expand the plants. Okay, so that's a huge thing for 793 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,920 Speaker 16: northern Ohio. I don't know if it's good for the area. 794 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:46,719 Speaker 16: But and you've been up there to see oak Harver, right, 795 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:47,319 Speaker 16: you've been up. 796 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,880 Speaker 1: By Yeah, the cloud maker is they call. 797 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,840 Speaker 16: Clouds, That's what my kids always called it. 798 00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:53,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 799 00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,880 Speaker 16: And the second the third company, Darry Jeff is Oaklow. 800 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 16: Now Oaklow is going to is going to build a 801 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 16: one point two giggle why a nuclear reactor down in 802 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 16: Pike County for Meta. So, uh, this is like a 803 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 16: big deal for the state of Ohio for all these 804 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,239 Speaker 16: reactors that are going to be built and expanded here 805 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 16: and in our in our state. So uh, no doubt 806 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 16: the technology is there for these reactors to be uh 807 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,400 Speaker 16: not water based, but sodium based for cooling and uh 808 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 16: thermal energy stories for surges and things like that. So 809 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,800 Speaker 16: this is uh it's interesting to read read about. 810 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,480 Speaker 1: Well President President Trump's trying to do everything you can 811 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,880 Speaker 1: to get our gas prices down. What about our electric prices? 812 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 1: That's that's what it'll mean something to me. 813 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,200 Speaker 16: I know. I just try to see if we get 814 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,799 Speaker 16: to foot the bill for this thing or metas paying 815 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 16: for all this. 816 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought all I thought all the data centers 817 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 1: were paying for their own power. 818 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 16: So well, well, yeah, go check your electric rates from 819 00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,560 Speaker 16: three years ago to now your costs right exactly. 820 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,040 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Michael. Have a great Saturday, eight 821 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,839 Speaker 1: eleven at seven underd wl do for several years now 822 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,400 Speaker 1: has been bringing us the Word of God every Saturday 823 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,359 Speaker 1: morning with the Bible verse of the day.

The one 998 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,400 Speaker 1: we used to put out the fire? Signior good Lord? 999 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,720 Speaker 1: What fire are you talking about, man? The one at 1000 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,200 Speaker 1: your house? Signor A candle fell in the curtain, caught 1001 01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 1: on fire. Are you saying that my mansion is destroyed 1002 01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:17,439 Speaker 1: because of a candle? See Signor Rod. But there's electricity 1003 01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:21,000 Speaker 1: at the house. What was the candle for for the funeral? 1004 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:26,200 Speaker 1: Senor Rod? What plully funeral? Your wife? Senior Rod. She 1005 01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,520 Speaker 1: showed up very late one night, and I thought she 1006 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,240 Speaker 1: was a thief, so I hit her with the new 1007 01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 1: tailor made super caught four sixty golf club, Ernesto. If 1008 01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:43,840 Speaker 1: you broke that club, you were in big trouble. Good morning, 1009 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 1: twenty minutes till the top of the hour, Saturday Morning edition, 1010 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:51,720 Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. I'm forgetting now how many years it 1011 01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:56,280 Speaker 1: was ago that I asked Scott Reinhardt, who's still the 1012 01:05:56,280 --> 01:06:01,360 Speaker 1: program director here, I said, have this idea, what about 1013 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:05,680 Speaker 1: putting Moegger on the show talking sports every day? He said, 1014 01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,600 Speaker 1: I think that's an excellent idea. You know, I was 1015 01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:11,800 Speaker 1: looking to grab the the younger part of the audience, 1016 01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, because it's been so many years ago that 1017 01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:19,360 Speaker 1: I thought of Mo as younger demographic and now I 1018 01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:23,320 Speaker 1: still think of him as Moegger. And I'm very grateful 1019 01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,080 Speaker 1: that he's on the show every but not necessarily for 1020 01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 1: the younger demographic. I was originally reaching for. 1021 01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:30,000 Speaker 7: Hey, Mo. 1022 01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:36,480 Speaker 1: Thirteen years thirteen years. See, I was appealing to a 1023 01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,360 Speaker 1: younger demographic then, wasn't I? 1024 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:39,680 Speaker 2: You were? 1025 01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:44,840 Speaker 1: I just I mean, I just thought, you know, here, 1026 01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:48,200 Speaker 1: I am, this this old radio dude and doing this show, 1027 01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:50,840 Speaker 1: and a lot of the people were older who were 1028 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:54,720 Speaker 1: on the show. I said, let's let's grab you know, 1029 01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:58,760 Speaker 1: a relatively younger kind of guy to talk sports that 1030 01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:02,040 Speaker 1: everybody knows and every but it relates to and moegar 1031 01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:08,560 Speaker 1: and thirteen years. That's that's incredible, man, Thanks. 1032 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:08,360 Speaker 5: Well, thank you. 1033 01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,919 Speaker 14: What I was doing thirteen years ago on Friday nights 1034 01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,920 Speaker 14: is dramatically different than what I do on Friday nights now. 1035 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,160 Speaker 14: So yeah, I think the quality of a Saturday morning 1036 01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:21,920 Speaker 14: phone call has probably improved because of that, but markedly years. 1037 01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:25,280 Speaker 1: I would say so yes, And I think I in 1038 01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:28,880 Speaker 1: turn not to you know, separate his shoulder, patting myself 1039 01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,920 Speaker 1: on the back. I think I've gotten better at approaching 1040 01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:36,480 Speaker 1: this segment and asking you stuff, because you know, there's 1041 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,480 Speaker 1: been some Saturday mornings in past years where I just 1042 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,680 Speaker 1: kind of bumbling around doing just a generic kind of 1043 01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:48,280 Speaker 1: sports conversation. So toward that end, let's talk about the 1044 01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:52,200 Speaker 1: elephant in the room, which almost doesn't fit in the 1045 01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,320 Speaker 1: room because it's so big, and that is the Indiana 1046 01:07:55,360 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 1: Hoosiers and their continual march towards what seems to be 1047 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:04,880 Speaker 1: an inevitable college football championship. Last night, MO, I gotta 1048 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:08,280 Speaker 1: tell you, I'm like, I'm hesitant. It'd been a long 1049 01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:12,400 Speaker 1: day yesterday with my wife at the hospital and coming home, 1050 01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,720 Speaker 1: and we got up early and I said, you know, 1051 01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be able to stay awake for 1052 01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,680 Speaker 1: this game, even though it was on relatively early comparison 1053 01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:27,439 Speaker 1: to other sporting events on TV. And I didn't have 1054 01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,920 Speaker 1: to wait long to figure out the outcome that was great. 1055 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:37,759 Speaker 14: A game was over. Let's see it kicked off what seven, Yeah, 1056 01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:41,160 Speaker 14: was over I think by eighty five, so you could 1057 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 14: you can be. 1058 01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:43,000 Speaker 16: By nine o'clock. 1059 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:43,679 Speaker 1: Yep. 1060 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:46,759 Speaker 14: Indiana was the number one seed going into the college 1061 01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:50,240 Speaker 14: football playoffs, so it's it's not surprising in the least 1062 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:54,479 Speaker 14: that they're playing for a national championship. I think the 1063 01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 14: ease with which they have throttled the bluest of blue 1064 01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:03,120 Speaker 14: bloods in Alabama and a very good Oregon team in 1065 01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 14: consecutive playoff games is frankly shocking, and maybe it shouldn't be. 1066 01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:13,240 Speaker 14: But you know, I don't recall anybody who follows this 1067 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:17,840 Speaker 14: sport closely who thought Indiana's gonna get to the championship game, 1068 01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,160 Speaker 14: and they'll do so on the heels of just two 1069 01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:26,200 Speaker 14: absolute bludgeonings. They are an absolute machine. They've got the 1070 01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,960 Speaker 14: best quarterback in the country, the Heisman Trophy winner, weapons 1071 01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:33,200 Speaker 14: all over the place. They're physical, they can run with 1072 01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,799 Speaker 14: anybody downfield, they can beat at the line of scrimmage. 1073 01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,960 Speaker 14: On defense, like, I don't know what the weakness is now, 1074 01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,879 Speaker 14: They're gonna play a good Miami team that's very physical upfront. 1075 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:48,880 Speaker 14: But man, it's been something to behold. The ease with 1076 01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:51,759 Speaker 14: which they have dominated the two teams they have played, 1077 01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,439 Speaker 14: frankly on the heels of dominating Ohio State's offense, they 1078 01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,120 Speaker 14: didn't necessarily dominate the game. 1079 01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:59,439 Speaker 5: It was a close game right up until. 1080 01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:02,360 Speaker 14: Last couple of minutes. But if you just if you 1081 01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,040 Speaker 14: didn't watch Indiana all season long, but you were aware 1082 01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,520 Speaker 14: of the story and thought, okay, it's kind of cute, 1083 01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,240 Speaker 14: think about what they have done in their last three games. 1084 01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:13,559 Speaker 14: They beat Ohio State, the defending national champion, the team 1085 01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,599 Speaker 14: that was number one in the country all year long. 1086 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,879 Speaker 14: Beat Alabama, and it might not have been your typical 1087 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,280 Speaker 14: Alabama team. They didn't win by seven points or ten 1088 01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,000 Speaker 14: points or a field goal in the last second. They 1089 01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,040 Speaker 14: beat them by thirty five. And then to do what 1090 01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:32,080 Speaker 14: they did to Oregon last night, completely and totally deconstruct them, 1091 01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,879 Speaker 14: and in all three the sets of circumstances on neutral 1092 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:42,920 Speaker 14: fields is remarkable and awesome, and it's almost impossible to 1093 01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 14: imagine them not beating the Miami Hurricanes a week from Monday. 1094 01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:57,200 Speaker 1: Night, looking past the CFP, I was watching Fernando Mendoza 1095 01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:02,800 Speaker 1: and and he's not the whole story with Indiana. Obviously, 1096 01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,840 Speaker 1: Kurt Signetti is the biggest part of that story because 1097 01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:09,400 Speaker 1: he brought these players together and brought this coaching staff together, 1098 01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 1: and he's in the Nick Saban co coaching tree and 1099 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,760 Speaker 1: all those things. He obviously is a great motivator and 1100 01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,920 Speaker 1: I think he's the biggest part of this Indiana success story. 1101 01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:24,640 Speaker 1: But watching Fernando Mendoza last night, mow and through these games, 1102 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:28,880 Speaker 1: he's NFL ready right now. He he could go into 1103 01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:34,280 Speaker 1: any he could go into any NFL team situation, and 1104 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,599 Speaker 1: he's ready to play. And I just hope the New 1105 01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:40,200 Speaker 1: York Jets do not ruin him too. 1106 01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,960 Speaker 14: Well. The good news is the New York Jets don't 1107 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,280 Speaker 14: have the number one overall picking the tracks who has 1108 01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:49,960 Speaker 14: the number one? 1109 01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but. 1110 01:11:56,520 --> 01:12:01,800 Speaker 14: Correct. But I'll say this if if you remember the 1111 01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:07,880 Speaker 14: two thoy nineteen NFL or A college football season, LSU 1112 01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,080 Speaker 14: gets to the college football playoffs, which obviously at the 1113 01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:15,720 Speaker 14: time was two teams. Joe Burrow had won the Heisman Trophy, 1114 01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,439 Speaker 14: the Bengals were obviously careening toward having the number one 1115 01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,560 Speaker 14: overall pick, which they wrapped up in their second to 1116 01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,240 Speaker 14: last game with the season, and so there were a 1117 01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:28,759 Speaker 14: lot of Bengals fans who maybe didn't follow college football 1118 01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:32,599 Speaker 14: back closely or didn't really watch LSU, who I think 1119 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:36,400 Speaker 14: tuned in excuse me, specifically to the playoff to watch 1120 01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,559 Speaker 14: Joe Burrow because they had heard, okay, they'd got the 1121 01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:41,800 Speaker 14: number one pick. It's going to be this Burrough guy. 1122 01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:45,759 Speaker 14: Let's see what he does. And if you remember that day, 1123 01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:50,480 Speaker 14: he went out in the semi final and absolutely destroyed 1124 01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:54,679 Speaker 14: the Oklahoma Sooners, and then a week or so later 1125 01:12:56,120 --> 01:13:01,000 Speaker 14: towards completely towards Clemson in the National Championship game, and 1126 01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:05,719 Speaker 14: I just remember how giddy I felt as a Bengals 1127 01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:10,280 Speaker 14: fan watching that, and watching Bengals fans on social media go, 1128 01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:14,400 Speaker 14: holy crap. I remember watching the semifinal game with my 1129 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,960 Speaker 14: wife and she looks at me and she goes, wait 1130 01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,280 Speaker 14: a minute, that's gonna be our quarterback next year. And 1131 01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:26,240 Speaker 14: so I certainly understand there's a pretty decent chance that 1132 01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,600 Speaker 14: Fernando Mendoza goes to a situation that is untenable for 1133 01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:33,680 Speaker 14: any quarterback who's looking to have almost immediate success. But 1134 01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:36,040 Speaker 14: I put myself in the shoes of a Raiders' fand 1135 01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,280 Speaker 14: and I think, how much fun must they be having 1136 01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:44,720 Speaker 14: watching Fernando Mendoza knowing they're gonna get him watching him 1137 01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:48,280 Speaker 14: do what he's doing. I mean, he's been Burrow esque 1138 01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,559 Speaker 14: frankly in these in these two playoff games. And so 1139 01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:53,840 Speaker 14: I was thinking about that last night just from a 1140 01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:57,720 Speaker 14: Bengals perspective, watching Burrow play, and by the way, with 1141 01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:00,879 Speaker 14: a lot of folks saying the exact same thing. Hey, uh, 1142 01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:04,160 Speaker 14: Cincinnati's gonna draft this dude and they're going to ruin him. 1143 01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:08,439 Speaker 14: You know, we can debate to what degree that's happened. Yeah, 1144 01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:10,400 Speaker 14: that's gonna be a really fun place if you're a 1145 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:11,679 Speaker 14: fan of the Las Vegas Makers. 1146 01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:15,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, I and I. He's a little bit bigger than Burrow, 1147 01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:21,800 Speaker 1: isn't he. I mean as far as overall body weight, I. 1148 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:25,000 Speaker 14: Think with Joe Burrow and I don't think he's you know, 1149 01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:29,240 Speaker 14: Joe has toned himself significantly. I think with Joe there 1150 01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,240 Speaker 14: was a there was a if you if you go 1151 01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:33,559 Speaker 14: back to look at that LSU footage, there was a 1152 01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:34,960 Speaker 14: little baby fat to him. 1153 01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:37,120 Speaker 5: Uh, it ain't there now, But. 1154 01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,439 Speaker 14: Yeah, I think if you look at the two physical 1155 01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:46,160 Speaker 14: specimens in college, uh, Fernando would be slightly more impressive. 1156 01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:47,200 Speaker 5: I'll put it that way. 1157 01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:50,400 Speaker 1: The other quarterback involved in last night's game Dante Moore. 1158 01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 1: There had been intimations that he would probably stay in school, 1159 01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:58,360 Speaker 1: and I think that's that's a good call. If if 1160 01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,920 Speaker 1: I'm advising Dante more, what about you. 1161 01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:06,720 Speaker 14: Mo Yes, And by the way, they can probably make 1162 01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,240 Speaker 14: more money playing college football next year than in the NFL. 1163 01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:12,720 Speaker 14: But the one thing you have to consider is I 1164 01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:18,240 Speaker 14: don't think this is top to bottom a great quarterback class. 1165 01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:21,200 Speaker 14: And so you know, it's like Des Riger coming out 1166 01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:23,479 Speaker 14: at U. See, he didn't really come out his college 1167 01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:27,360 Speaker 14: career and died. He was the I think third quarterback taken, 1168 01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:29,639 Speaker 14: and in a different year he. 1169 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:31,040 Speaker 12: Might have been the eighth quarterback taken. 1170 01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:32,760 Speaker 14: So I think you have to consider that. But yeah, 1171 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:37,240 Speaker 14: I would I think most personnel evaluators would suggest that 1172 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:37,920 Speaker 14: Dante go. 1173 01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:38,519 Speaker 5: Back to school. 1174 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 1: Have you seen my Vanderbilt Cavodors play basketball? 1175 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:48,520 Speaker 14: Though I have watched him play Alabama on Tuesday? 1176 01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:53,120 Speaker 1: How about that day? I talked to my friend Scott Drought, 1177 01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:57,920 Speaker 1: who of course played at Vanderbilt very well, and he said, 1178 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:02,800 Speaker 1: not a pretty game. But man, Memorial Gym is back. 1179 01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:06,439 Speaker 1: I've been to several games at Memorial Gym on the 1180 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,400 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt campus, and I remember going back in the eighties 1181 01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:11,799 Speaker 1: and nineties when Vandy had some pretty good hoops teams, 1182 01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:15,240 Speaker 1: But I never heard the place like I heard it 1183 01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:19,880 Speaker 1: on Wednesday night against Alabama, that old place. I mean, 1184 01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:23,599 Speaker 1: they better be checking the foundation because it was rocking. 1185 01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:27,720 Speaker 14: Been lucky enough to go to a game there. UC 1186 01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:31,240 Speaker 14: played there when Andy Kennedy was the interim head coach 1187 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:33,599 Speaker 14: during the two thousand and five two thousand and six season. 1188 01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:38,080 Speaker 14: The Bevercats won the game one of the most unique 1189 01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:41,519 Speaker 14: places you could ever see a college basketball game. Couldn't 1190 01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,599 Speaker 14: suggest it more. The Commodore's are ranked seventh in the country. 1191 01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:50,120 Speaker 14: They've beaten a good Missouri team, They've beaten you know, 1192 01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:55,519 Speaker 14: a good LSU team. Like Yes, I watched that game 1193 01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:58,040 Speaker 14: the other night and it was fun to see that 1194 01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:01,840 Speaker 14: place as energized as it was. How about Vanderbilt being 1195 01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 14: really good in both men's basketball. 1196 01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:08,360 Speaker 1: And men's football. I know well, as Clark Lee, the 1197 01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:12,840 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt coach, said, with the introduction of NIL and the 1198 01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:18,240 Speaker 1: transfer portal at at a luncheon before the football season started, 1199 01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:23,760 Speaker 1: he said, before, we're really excited because before only the 1200 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:27,680 Speaker 1: big big players could cheat. Now everybody can cheat. We 1201 01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,680 Speaker 1: can cheat too, But. 1202 01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:32,680 Speaker 14: You know, what if you think about it, right, if 1203 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:34,760 Speaker 14: you think about football. So this is going to be 1204 01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:39,120 Speaker 14: the third consecutive year where an SEC team doesn't win 1205 01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:43,439 Speaker 14: the national title. Yeah, right, Now, the SEC loves to 1206 01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:47,240 Speaker 14: tell you how much superior they are. The commissioner of 1207 01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:49,760 Speaker 14: that league will go out of his way to tell you, 1208 01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,759 Speaker 14: you know that they should have like every spot failed 1209 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:57,280 Speaker 14: in the College Football PLAYFF. But what's been a great equalizer. 1210 01:17:57,439 --> 01:18:00,559 Speaker 14: It's been money. And you know, people say, but I 1211 01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:04,080 Speaker 14: think there's some validity to it. Right, The SEC has 1212 01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:07,559 Speaker 14: always been paying players. Now everybody can pay players, and 1213 01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:09,960 Speaker 14: so the field has quite. 1214 01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:11,240 Speaker 5: Literally been leveled, yep. 1215 01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:16,640 Speaker 14: Where now schools like Indiana can compete in sports that 1216 01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:20,800 Speaker 14: you don't associate them with, and schools like Vanderbilt, which 1217 01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:24,519 Speaker 14: in both highest profile sports have always been drowned out 1218 01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:29,200 Speaker 14: by other higher profile programs, can now compete. It really 1219 01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:34,200 Speaker 14: has to a degree level the playing field, and it's 1220 01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:37,960 Speaker 14: given us. It's given us some newness in both major 1221 01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:40,320 Speaker 14: sports that I think is refreshing. 1222 01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:44,080 Speaker 1: All Right, you see n Xavier both playing and trying 1223 01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,920 Speaker 1: to write their seasons. Who has the better chance to 1224 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:54,040 Speaker 1: improve their lot? As we speed towards March mo the 1225 01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,719 Speaker 1: Xavier Musketeers are the Bearcats. 1226 01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,639 Speaker 14: Well, you know, it's it's interesting. I think on one hand, 1227 01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,919 Speaker 14: you could say Cincinnati because for all of their issues 1228 01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:07,559 Speaker 14: and they got a ton, they are a really good 1229 01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:11,719 Speaker 14: defensive team. I mean, from a metrics perspective, the reason 1230 01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:13,920 Speaker 14: why they've had a chance to win their last two 1231 01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:16,400 Speaker 14: games has been their ability to defend, and so as 1232 01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:20,360 Speaker 14: we say, you know that travels. I think the problem though, 1233 01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:22,280 Speaker 14: is you look at the schedule and it's you're just 1234 01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:25,519 Speaker 14: having a hard time finding wins with Xavier. You know, 1235 01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:28,080 Speaker 14: they missed an opportunity, to excuse me, the other night, 1236 01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,080 Speaker 14: to be who I think is the worst team in 1237 01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:32,640 Speaker 14: the Big East because they couldn't grab a rebound in 1238 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,559 Speaker 14: the second half against Marquette, and so on the other 1239 01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:38,160 Speaker 14: side of things, you could say, well, Xavier's schedule is 1240 01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:42,120 Speaker 14: probably a little bit more forgiving. Now they still have 1241 01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:44,719 Speaker 14: another game against Yukon to play. They've gotta played Saint 1242 01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,240 Speaker 14: John's twice, which is not going to be easy by 1243 01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:54,320 Speaker 14: any stretch. But I'm I'll say Xavier for that reason. 1244 01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,479 Speaker 14: But for all of the frustration that you see fans feel, 1245 01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:00,960 Speaker 14: and as much as the it feels like the walls 1246 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:04,439 Speaker 14: are closing in on West Miller. They do defend well 1247 01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:06,679 Speaker 14: enough to stay in games. And if that's the case, 1248 01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,360 Speaker 14: you hope that offensively they can find a way to 1249 01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:12,720 Speaker 14: execute laden games to get some victories. But so far 1250 01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:13,599 Speaker 14: that hasn't happened. 1251 01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:15,400 Speaker 1: Well, thank you again for being a part of the 1252 01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:19,599 Speaker 1: program now for thirteen years.
