1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: It's time for the good news. It's something good.

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: Around the room. I'll go first. Kind of annoying because

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: it rained yesterday, But what was great about it is

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 2: it was like forty two degrees, so it wasn't a

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: freezing rain, and we had a bunch of ice that

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: were my wife's pregnant. She's really avoiding all ice all

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: the time, so it kind of it melted, like all

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: of the ice on all of the surfaces outside, so

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: now she can walk around a little bit out there.

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: And we just needed it because everything was still iced over.

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: I was stuck in traffic. Though I'm never in traffic

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: because come to work early. I'm never on the road

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: at five o'clock PM, but I was yesterday because I

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: had we recorded twenty five whistles yesterday. Then I went

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: to brain therapy my therapist. Then I went to physical

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: therapy after that. So all those rain together and it

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: was five o'clock and I'm on the road and I'm like,

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: I hate this, just not work, so I have to

19
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: go to this every day.

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 3: So your therapist, when you say brain, you mean like talk, yeah, therapy, Okay,

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: I didn't mental health.

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: I was working on my mental health and my physical health.

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: I was telling my wife yesterday, Oh, you.

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 4: Were so on top of it yesterday.

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: That's pretty common. Try to schedule stuff near.

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 4: Oh, it's common to have those on the same day.

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did. In physical therapy yesterday, I ran for

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: ten minutes, but I did five minute walk, five minute

29
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: jog in the anti gravity treadmill. And really they say

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: anti gravity, they just basically put you in this air balloon.

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: It takes you to like seventy percent of your body weight.

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: The last time I did that, Oh, I should do

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: this is my tell me good. The last time I

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: did that only got through two and a half minutes

35
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: and had to quit because my ankle was killing me.

36
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: I did all ten minutes. It hurts today a little bit,

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: but I think there's been some progression. I was worried

38
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: when I fell on the ice last week that I

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: had reinjured my ankle. But after I ran for ten minutes,

40
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: it hurt a little, but I do feel progression. I'm

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: almost back. I mean, who knows, who knows what kind

42
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: of athlete I woulna decide to.

43
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 5: Be when you're back, Like, what do you what's your goal?

44
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 5: It's your goal to be back.

45
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm an empty canvas right now. If

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,839
Speaker 2: I want to get into marathon running, oh, you're back

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: in professional pickleball.

48
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 4: Don't do a marathon after your foot but I could.

49
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: I could start training. You could, but you're not going

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: to do it right out of the gate, All new canvas.

51
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: I haven't done anything in three months to tell me

52
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: something goods those two things, Amy, What do you have?

53
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: So at the beginning of the year, I set out

54
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: to read more and I've officially finished, like it's still

55
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: what We're very early February and I've already read three

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 3: books and I'm about to.

57
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: Finish my fourth.

58
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: That's really great.

59
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: I'm a whole new person, Like I can't wait to

60
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: like get ready for bed and get in bed and read.

61
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: And I have my little night light that is like

62
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: an amber color so it doesn't mess with, you know,

63
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: my circadian rhythm, and I I don't know, it's like,

64
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: who am I Like last night my boyfriend called me

65
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: and was.

66
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 4: Like, hey, what are you doing. I was like, I'm

67
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 4: already in bed. I'm reading. You know, this is the

68
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 4: year that I read.

69
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: That's great. It's fine to finish books.

70
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: It's so fun. This is not me.

71
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I've been kind of an okay reader, but

72
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: not really. I mean the fact that I'm on my

73
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 3: fourth book for the year. That's more than I read.

74
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 2: In the last few years combined. Yeah, making it.

75
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: And I've listened to some I've listened to books, and

76
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: so I guess I'm separating that from listening to actually

77
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: reading and carving out time. And I kept thinking, like,

78
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: I don't really have time for that, and it's like

79
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: I have time, it's just am I going to watch

80
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: a TV show or I'm gonna am I gonna read

81
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: a book?

82
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: Are you?

83
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 6: Four books?

84
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: Are we talking?

85
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: Like?

86
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 6: Hunter Page was.

87
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: The longest one, and that one I just that that's

88
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: a real one. Like that one I got into.

89
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: The other CAG.

90
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 6: Was really impressive.

91
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: The other two no, no, no, the other two are Emily

92
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: had books, and they're just like rom calm, romance types books,

93
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: and they're very easy reads. They're not like The Nightingale

94
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: was heavy. And that's why I'm kind of cleansing my

95
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: palette because The Nightingale's historical fiction and it's heavy stuff.

96
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: So I'm cleansing my palette with these little rom com.

97
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: Books that I still count.

98
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: I really love I know, but they're an easy read,

99
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: and so then I'm ready for my net. I say

100
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: all this that if anybody else has a once I

101
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 3: get done with Beach Read, which is what I'm on now,

102
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: I want another historical fiction book, so i'll take recommendations.

103
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: I'm not a big historical fiction guy, so I don't

104
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: have a good recommendation. I read that one, but then

105
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: I read another book that was the real version of

106
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: that kind of.

107
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: Oh well, I also like true, so i'll take it nonfiction,

108
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 3: no man, non.

109
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 5: Fiction, Yeah, yeah, that's true.

110
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: Right. Yes, you know, I call an infinite super baby,

111
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: so I'm not going to be that judgment.

112
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: I know my brain I was like, yeah, i'll take

113
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: a true story which is non fiction.

114
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: What is it?

115
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 4: It's similar to The Night Gil.

116
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's basically a real version of that story. The

117
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: problem with reading books on an iPad, which I often do,

118
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: is that I forget the titles of the books. I

119
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: forget the authors of the books, and I don't know,

120
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, like what the cover looks like, because

121
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: all I'm doing is going back to it and it's

122
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: just a page that i'm reading. So okay.

123
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: Also, I think this month helped me out lunch Box.

124
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: To your point of what am I reading is, well,

125
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 3: we lost power for several days and I was staying

126
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: at my house, so I was sitting by my fire

127
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: reading for when normally we would have been doing other things.

128
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 2: A Woman of No Importance The untold story of the

129
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: American spy who helped win World War Two.

130
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 4: Oo oh heck, yeah, I'll get into that.

131
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 2: It's a version of that story that you read, I mean,

132
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: very similar.

133
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, probably I'm able to get into it more

134
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: knowing that it's.

135
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: You read at Midnight Library I talked about a long

136
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: time ago. It's straight fiction. So I'm not a fiction

137
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: hater at all. I like Cleansed the Palace a little bit.

138
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: With fiction. It's just hard for me to find a fiction.

139
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: But I actually know in the first two nights if

140
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: I don't like it, I love the Midnight Library. It

141
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: was so good the Midnight Library. It's straight fiction, though,

142
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: So what's that about. I think you just read it

143
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: that I'm not gonna hear that. Author Matt Haig h

144
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: a I G. Also wrote The Life Impossible, which is great.

145
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 5: Is that also fiction?

146
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, if we're just going down this here,

147
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: h don't believe everything you think was really good. Project

148
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: Hill Mary straight fiction is awesome. That's gonna be a movie.

149
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: It was awesome.

150
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 4: Yeah. I read that a couple of years ago.

151
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: I finished The Some of Us, which is good. That

152
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: is that is it's non fiction. It's a lot of data.

153
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: It's The Some of Us, what racism costs everyone and

154
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 2: how we can prosper together by Heather like Life. Yeah,

155
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: it's good.

156
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 5: Stupid question, but like you know, when you talk about

157
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 5: movies and shows, like everyone's always like, oh my gosh,

158
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: have you seen this? How do you find a new.

159
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: Book like this right now?

160
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? Much like a Netflix show, it's people recommending or

161
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: go to good Reads. This is not a commercial for

162
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: good Reads.

163
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 5: Is that a website?

164
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: It's yeah, Oh, basically people review stuff.

165
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: Speaking of that's what your wife sent me. I know

166
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: the next book I'm reading, And she said she it's

167
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: from her good Reads. Man, what's it called. There's birds

168
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: on the cover. And I was like, oh, it's meant

169
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: to be birds.

170
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: I read Man search for Meaning by Victor E. Frank

171
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: has a bird on it. Did you read that?

172
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 4: No, that's I know. I haven't read it yet.

173
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: She just sent me the thing the other day of like,

174
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: because we were like, should we start like a little

175
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: texting book club.

176
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: It's like, maybe yellow Face is so good?

177
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 4: What's that?

178
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: It's fiction? Also, you've read.

179
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: So it's the Correspondent.

180
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: I've read that.

181
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, she said that's on her.

182
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: I know people are getting anoyed that us talking about books.

183
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 6: Why Bob said, I thought you said you gave up reading.

184
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 4: He's going over like this is what he's read.

185
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: In the last thirteen months or so. This is I've

186
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: read a bunch of this. Uh last year, I read

187
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: Chaangang All Stars fiction.

188
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: Bro, It's awesome.

189
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: I know Mike's wife read that one too. Yeah, she

190
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: liked that one.

191
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: Really like that one.

192
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 4: I'm going to order the course.

193
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: For me, this is my version of meditating though. What

194
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: reading yep, Because I'm like rushrush Truss calendar, calendar, calendar,

195
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: next thing, run, jump, go, get yet dead. If I

196
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: have a book, I have to focus or I'll read

197
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 2: lines and lines of pages of pay to be like,

198
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 2: what did I just read? I don't even know what

199
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: I just read, so I got to go back and

200
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: do it again. It is very much a focused type

201
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 2: thing for me. The daily Stoic, one of my favorite

202
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: books ever.

203
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 5: Amy, is it hard for you because you're dyslexic?

204
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 4: Reading has been difficult for me?

205
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: Read it from the back, the forward she had from

206
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: the back.

207
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,119
Speaker 3: Dude, But I think right now, since I have the momentum,

208
00:08:59,160 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: I gotta.

209
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 4: Stick with it.

210
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's so fun when you're like.

211
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 3: When you have the momentum and I have to keep going,

212
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 3: And so some of the pages, I'm like, shoot.

213
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 4: I just read that page. I have no idea what

214
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 4: I just read all the time.

215
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: So I'll either go back or it'll work itself out.

216
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 4: That I'll figure it out.

217
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: I'll do one more. I'll talk about that book Yellow

218
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: Face for a second, because I pulled up because I

219
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: remember was about author who was faking like she wrote something.

220
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 2: But it is about a white author, June Hayward, who

221
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: steals and publishes a manuscript from her recently deceased Chinese

222
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: American friend under the the pseudonym Juniper Song, which is

223
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: a Chinese American name. But she has it her friend died,

224
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: and again her friend's Chinese, and so she has to

225
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 2: kind of act like she wrote. She wrote. That's book minute.

226
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, book minute. I mean I think more people are

227
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: into books than you think. Listeners are the ones that

228
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: recommended all the Emily Henry books to me, and I'm

229
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 3: rolling through them.

230
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool though. When you finish books, then you

231
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: can add it to your collection.

232
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

233
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: It's fun and nothing feels better than when someone else

234
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: also read a book that you read. You're like, have

235
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: you read? They're like, yeah, have we just become best friends?

236
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 2: Lunchbox tell me, I'm good.

237
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 6: Yeah. So we have this ice storm and power went

238
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 6: out a lot of places. Tree branches fell, and there

239
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 6: has been tree branches on my power line connecting to

240
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 6: my house, just weighing it down like almost to the

241
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 6: ground in the backyard. Luckily it hadn't snapped. And there

242
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 6: were sort of linemen from Des Moines, Iowa driving through

243
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 6: the neighborhood yesterday and they saw it, jumped out of

244
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 6: the truck, got the equipment and got the branches off

245
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 6: the wire. So it never snapped.

246
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: That's good, okay, but you had power.

247
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 6: I had power, but I was still worried that it

248
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 6: was going to disconnect from my house because the tree

249
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 6: branches were on it. And they always say you don't

250
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 6: want to touch a tree branch that's on.

251
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: A power line.

252
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: They do say that, them say that.

253
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 6: And so I just left it alone.

254
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: What not a great conductor, though, But you don't want

255
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: touch anything touching the tree line?

256
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: Say that again?

257
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: Oh wood is not a good powers with tree wood?

258
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 6: Would well, what do you mean?

259
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: What like?

260
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 7: Would come on Wayne's World, The Old House.

261
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: Puppet and Joey.

262
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah anyway, No, but.

263
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 6: I just want to shout out the guys from des Moines, Iowa.

264
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 6: My wife did. I wasn't home.

265
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: Dang.

266
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're probably big fans of the show though. And

267
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 6: they happened to see some branches on our wire. And

268
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 6: that's what they're in town to do, is just drive

269
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 6: around and find branches on wires, and they boom took

270
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 6: them off.

271
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: In case anyone's wondering, drywood is a poor conductor of electricity,

272
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: acting as an insulator, primarily because it lacks, for you,

273
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: electrons necessary for electrical current to flow.

274
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 4: What about wet wood?

275
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 2: What about a good question.

276
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: Problem?

277
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 4: Well, we don't know that.

278
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't touch anything.

279
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't do it.

280
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: So the more moisture it has, I'd assume worse it

281
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: could be bad for you. Water soaked or green wood

282
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: is more conductive than dry wood. Water inside the wood

283
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: acts as an electrolyte, so water would be it. But

284
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: it's not all water, so probably still not a great conductor.

285
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't mess with it. I wouldn't mess with it,

286
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: even as it straight wood or as Amy says, what

287
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: did you say, wet wood?

288
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 4: Wet wood? What's the opposite to dry eddie?

289
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 5: All right, so last Friday, I guess that's when it

290
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 5: was like really freaking cold five degrees or seven degrees

291
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 5: or something. It wasn't the single digits, and my heater

292
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 5: was not getting above seventy like we had set it

293
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 5: to like seventy five, and it was just blowing and

294
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 5: blowing and blowing, and it was seventy five because because

295
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 5: just trying to get it up it was it was

296
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 5: still it was still chilly on my first floor. And

297
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 5: so I'm like, well, this is great, Like my my

298
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 5: heater is going out. And we'd been running it for

299
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 5: two weeks straight. So I shut it down and I

300
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 5: bought space heaters from Walmart, and I was like, all right,

301
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 5: this is just how we're gonna live until all this

302
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 5: ice goes away. Well yesterday, you know, you were sending

303
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 5: it rained and it melted everything. So I was like,

304
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 5: you know what, this is a good time to just

305
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 5: check the heater.

306
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: Dude, it works. I turned it on, and so what

307
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: was that?

308
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: It was ice?

309
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 5: I think the ice it was frozen outside and the

310
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 5: fact that it wasn't five degrees yesterday it was forty.

311
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 5: It actually worked normal. So I was thinking, we're just

312
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: gonna do. We're gonna be a space heater home for

313
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 5: the rest of the winter.

314
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: That's a big commitment, which is a little scary, but

315
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 2: it's a fire risk. I feel like, yeah, I know.

316
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 5: I'm thinking too though, Like, isn't that gonna be cheaper

317
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 5: than running the heater plugging in two little space heaters?

318
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're not. Everything's not gonna be heated.

319
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 4: You're just gonna have two little space heaters and you're

320
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 4: a family of six.

321
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: And little spaces are gonna be heated.

322
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 5: It's just the first floor though.

323
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: Oh the upstairs is fine. The upstairs fine, Well, then yeah,

324
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 3: maybe you're good because at not you just turn them off.

325
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: But then you're gotta walk way down to turn them

326
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: all before it gets warm again, right, Like, no, don't

327
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: you're not gonna do that don't do that, Okay, tell

328
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: me to go. Good job every body there.

329
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: You go, it's time for the good news by.

330
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: Students in the Auto Tech program at Luisa County High

331
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: School are learning how to actually fix cars, but they're

332
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: also learning how to get back to the community. So

333
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: the program has eleventh grader's fixing not only cars that

334
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: have been donated to give away, not only parts from

335
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: cars that dumps, but also teachers, other students, and other

336
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: people's cars that like a part of the school. They

337
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: fix their cars for free.

338
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 4: That's nice.

339
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: That's crazy. That's because the first part is I get

340
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: like you're but it's like if a teacher, if mister

341
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: Tollinson's truck's got a muffler that's making noise, you go

342
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: and you fix that form right.

343
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: But then it's also there's oversight, right, it's like what

344
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: it gets double checked by the.

345
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: I'm sure I think somebody check. I don't think there's

346
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: just like kids running like yeah, all good, I've never

347
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: heard of that. That's awesome. If they actually help people

348
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: at the school with their cars, so not only routine repairs,

349
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: but they also restore cars I was talking about earlier,

350
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: and they donated to single mothers in need. They're an

351
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: organization there. Holy crap, that is a great story. WTVR.

352
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: That is what it's all about.

353
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: That was telling me something good. It's time for the

354
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: good news.

355
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 5: Last week, the ice storm hit Mississippi hard. Interstate fifty

356
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 5: five was just full of a bunch of stranded semi trucks.

357
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 5: But Clyde Vinnem and his son CJ. They saw the news.

358
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 5: They like, we need to jump into help. They got

359
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 5: their jeeps and ropes and they went to the interstate

360
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 5: and pulled out hundreds of eighteen wheelers. Wow, in jeeps,

361
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 5: which is crazy, Like I have a jeep and I'm like,

362
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 5: I don't think I can pull an eighteen wheeler out

363
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 5: of anywhere.

364
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: I think it probably just needs a little boost.

365
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, a little bit.

366
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: But they were saying, too wench.

367
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 5: Some of these drivers had to spend the night in

368
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 5: their trucks because they were just stuck on the side

369
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 5: of the road.

370
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: And so we saw guy tried to take on a hill.

371
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: Most of the road was okay, and we were driving

372
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: and we saw up on the interstate. Most of the

373
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: interstate was okay except the ramp. It was uphill. This

374
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: a team lover was like, as screw it, I'm gonna

375
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: try it. Done blocked the whole ramp too.

376
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 5: That's what the that's what Clyde was saying. Said, a

377
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 5: lot of these trucks were trying to go up ramps

378
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 5: and hills. They got stuck, they slid off, and they

379
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 5: couldn't go anywhere.

380
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,360
