Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Listen anytime you like. We won't tell your HR director,
- 0:05Speaker 1: but we might post it to your Grindr profile. First
- 0:08Speaker 1: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill.
- 0:14Speaker 3: He's down here every day.
- 0:15Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
- 0:19Speaker 5: Drops the kids to school and on the way.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
- 0:24Speaker 6: All the treasures that he needs.
- 0:27Speaker 2: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
- 0:30Speaker 7: He only aims to please you.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Let me be your Joe.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Here's another one nobody is mentioning.
- 0:39Speaker 6: I want to be your Joe.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Pardon me, if you're joining us already in progress, we've
- 0:43Speaker 3: had some pretty hot conversations. A lot of it's surrounding affordability,
- 0:49Speaker 3: since that's the word of 2026. And specifically medical affordability. Oh,
- 0:58Speaker 3: and I've got a bunch of emails and text messages
- 1:00Speaker 3: about Munchausen's by-government syndrome. Yay and nay about it. But
- 1:07Speaker 3: this one, Barry writes in, Joe, what is this fixation
- 1:12Speaker 3: on Obama? He's not on the ballot this year. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:17Speaker 3: he is. This is the election that never happened. 2026
- 1:21Speaker 3: is Obama versus Trump. Neither of them are actually on
- 1:28Speaker 3: the ballot. But this is Barack Obama and his agenda
- 1:36Speaker 3: versus Donald Trump and his. That's it. And I don't
- 1:41Speaker 3: mean to depersonalize it because there are great candidates out
- 1:44Speaker 3: there running in California and Nevada and Utah. But at
- 1:52Speaker 3: the bottom line of it all, It is people who
- 1:58Speaker 3: stand with the Trump agenda versus people who stand with
- 2:02Speaker 3: the Obama agenda. And that is why we've spent so
- 2:09Speaker 3: much time on this. Hamp in Virginia Beach. No, Hamp
- 2:14Speaker 3: on the Treasure Coast. I'm sorry, it's the Atlantic seaboard.
- 2:17Speaker 3: But Hamp down in the Treasure Coast. No one thinks
- 2:20Speaker 3: that Ilhan Omar wiped her phone or uses burner phones.
- 2:25Speaker 3: First off, here's a fun spot for you. We've had
- 2:29Speaker 3: the case of the burner phones and the fake emails accounts.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Look up Lisa Jackson. She was the administrator for this
- 2:36Speaker 3: organization called the Environmental Protection Agency that did very little
- 2:43Speaker 3: to protect the environment, but it was an agency and
- 2:46Speaker 3: it made a lot of people money. And she was
- 2:49Speaker 3: taking orders from Greenpeace and over a Gmail account to
- 2:53Speaker 3: some person named Richard Windsor, maybe one of the royal family,
- 2:58Speaker 3: we don't know. But that in and of itself is
- 3:02Speaker 3: a crime. If Ilhan Omar wiped her government phone, you know,
- 3:07Speaker 3: with a cloth, that's a crime in and of itself.
- 3:16Speaker 3: So when you're talking about And if you missed it,
- 3:21Speaker 3: it'll be coming up because our job here is to
- 3:23Speaker 3: tell you what went on last night, give you our
- 3:26Speaker 3: learned analysis of it, and then grab your reactions to it,
- 3:31Speaker 3: but also how it's impacting you, where you are. And
- 3:35Speaker 3: you do that like Hamp did. He texted me at 434-882-4217.
- 3:41Speaker 3: Barry emailed JTInTheMorningRadio at gmail.com because I get it. Mornings
- 3:46Speaker 3: are a cacophony. of all the things that you thought
- 3:49Speaker 3: you had more time to get finished. I'll put it
- 3:53Speaker 3: off till later. Well, now is later. And so you're crazy.
- 3:58Speaker 3: So write something, voice to text, whatever you need to do,
- 4:02Speaker 3: and get it off to us in your e-post. Or
- 4:05Speaker 3: you can call us if you have the time at 434-882-4217.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Our first things this morning, Hakeem Jeffries says, the first
- 4:09Speaker 3: hundred days, paw. He's looking at the first 100 hours
- 4:20Speaker 3: of reinstating the Affordable Care Act tax breaks, reversing Medicaid cuts,
- 4:28Speaker 3: holding votes against the Iran war, and undoing the tariff regime,
- 4:33Speaker 3: is what he calls it, fighting for an affordable America.
- 4:37Speaker 3: That's what unites Democrats all across this country, Jeffries said,
- 4:42Speaker 3: looking at a Congress that he may actually be the
- 4:45Speaker 3: Speaker of the House of. That's up in the air
- 4:48Speaker 3: as well with all the Democratic socialists saying, we'll see.
- 4:52Speaker 3: We'll see. He's part of the machine. Federal authorities, I
- 4:56Speaker 3: also mentioned this is what Hamp texted about. Congresswoman Ilhan
- 5:00Speaker 3: Omar's phone has been seized by federal authorities and they
- 5:04Speaker 3: have issued more than a dozen further grand jury subpoenas
- 5:09Speaker 3: to relatives and to co-workers all about Omar's application for citizenship.
- 5:17Speaker 3: in which she said she was 17 when there is
- 5:20Speaker 3: a case being made that she was 19 at the time,
- 5:23Speaker 3: which would have required her to go through the citizenship
- 5:27Speaker 3: process rather than have it granted automatically. President Trump in
- 5:32Speaker 3: Montana saying the Second Amendment, among all those other things
- 5:35Speaker 3: that Hakeem Jeffries said, will be under attack if Democrats
- 5:40Speaker 3: take control of the House. Ukraine continues to point fingers
- 5:47Speaker 3: at quote-unquote the West, meaning the United States now saying
- 5:52Speaker 3: that Starlink has cut in and imposed battlefield use restrictions
- 5:58Speaker 3: on Ukrainian drones. This on the heels of not being
- 6:03Speaker 3: informed by intelligence officials about an incoming ballistic missile strike
- 6:09Speaker 3: in Kyiv. These are some of the first things the

- 9:02Speaker 12: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
- 9:05Speaker 12: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them, nestled
- 9:08Speaker 12: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
- 9:13Speaker 7: Oh, yes! Yes!
- 9:16Speaker 12: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
- 9:20Speaker 12: favorite form of ear candy.
- 9:22Speaker 13: Oh, my.
- 9:24Speaker 12: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
- 9:27Speaker 14: Shh.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Do you smell that?
- 9:30Speaker 15: Shh.
- 9:32Speaker 12: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.

- 9:57Speaker 16: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 10:02Speaker 16: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 10:08Speaker 16: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 10:12Speaker 16: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 10:15Speaker 16: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 10:21Speaker 16: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 10:23Speaker 16: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 10:27Speaker 16: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 10:32Speaker 16: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 10:36Speaker 16: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
- 10:40Speaker 16: Eat better. Get moving. Visit checkupamerica.org or call 1-800-DIABETES, a
- 10:47Speaker 16: message from the American Diabetes Association.

- 10:52Speaker 3: both legs in Vietnam. My victory was proving that disability
- 10:56Speaker 3: is not a limitation.
- 10:58Speaker 1: I'm Julius. I'm a veteran.
- 11:00Speaker 9: My victory was going from homeless to home.
- 11:03Speaker 17: At DAV, we're on a mission, helping veterans of all
- 11:06Speaker 17: generations get the benefits they've earned.
- 11:09Speaker 18: I'm CeCe.

- 11:53Speaker 2: Should get matching tattoos on our first date?
- 11:55Speaker 20: Sure.

- 12:04Speaker 5: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
- 12:09Speaker 9: Cannonball!
- 12:11Speaker 7: Cramp!
- 12:12Speaker 9: I have a cramp.
- 12:16Speaker 5: I can probably hit the green from here.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Probably....
- 12:23Speaker 21: Can I get a mulligan?
- 12:26Speaker 5: Ready to go?
- 12:27Speaker 2: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 12:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
- 12:32Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 12:35Speaker 3: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 12:39Speaker 3: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 12:42Speaker 3: or a friend.
- 12:42Speaker 6: Buzzed driving is drunk driving.

- 12:58Speaker 19: the Federal Trade Commission.
- 13:01Speaker 3: Are you looking for that one-of-a-kind treasure you won't find
- 13:04Speaker 3: in a big box?
- 13:22Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
- 13:38Speaker 3: A couple of points of order here. And I said,
- 13:41Speaker 3: I got a few of these notes about my comment.
- 13:44Speaker 3: And I, every time I, When I first came up
- 13:46Speaker 3: with the phrase Munchausen's by government syndrome, obviously there's going
- 13:51Speaker 3: to be a reaction to it because we're not making
- 13:55Speaker 3: light of psychological issues. We're saying that this is a
- 14:02Speaker 3: different one. And this one is almost as much a
- 14:09Speaker 3: psychological disorder of those who are being abused by it,
- 14:14Speaker 3: almost in the sense of PTSD. We're the abused spouse
- 14:25Speaker 3: being told that it's our fault they do this to us.
- 14:30Speaker 3: And again, I'm not making light of spousal abuse. I'm
- 14:33Speaker 3: saying that look at the relationship that you and I
- 14:37Speaker 3: have with the American government. Unconstitutional as its behavior is,
- 14:45Speaker 3: which is constant, by the way, their unconstitutional behavior is
- 14:54Speaker 3: untoward because we're permitting it. That's the message I want
- 15:00Speaker 3: to get out there is we're allowing this to happen
- 15:03Speaker 3: to us. Andy is on the line with us at 434-882-4217.
- 15:06Speaker 3: Good morning, Andy. How are you doing this morning? down
- 15:11Speaker 3: in Sarasota.
- 15:11Speaker 1: I was doing great.
- 15:12Speaker 13: I'd encourage everybody to return to constitutional money.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Amen.
- 15:18Speaker 13: But also you, you mentioned, uh, this, like the lady
- 15:24Speaker 13: in Minnesota, like finally being brought to some kind of justice. The, uh,
- 15:30Speaker 13: project Veritas had in an embedded person, um, and in that, um,
- 15:37Speaker 13: undercover work, and I'm sure a lot of people know it.
- 15:41Speaker 13: I actually funded it personally.
- 15:43Speaker 3: Yeah, that's awesome that you did.
- 15:46Speaker 13: Yeah, and my nickname is Eagle.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Oh, I like that nickname.
- 15:51Speaker 9: It's a good one.
- 15:53Speaker 13: But this gentleman who wanted to spend enough time with
- 15:59Speaker 13: me that he could, if he needed to, he could
- 16:02Speaker 13: back up Hillary Clinton across the room. and did once
- 16:07Speaker 13: or twice in his undercover work, but he was actually embedded.
- 16:12Speaker 9: With the Somalis.
- 16:14Speaker 13: Could you imagine only, only one time during that time,
- 16:19Speaker 13: did he actually break silence? And it was, you know, when,
- 16:23Speaker 13: when he could like text in the middle of the
- 16:25Speaker 13: night and it awakened me and I was like, dude,
- 16:28Speaker 13: what's going on?
- 16:29Speaker 3: He said, I've.
- 16:30Speaker 13: Never, ever been this scared.
- 16:33Speaker 3: Wow.
- 16:33Speaker 13: That's a, I mean, it was, it was the, this Ilhan,
- 16:39Speaker 13: whatever her name is, I guess Omar.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:42Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 16:43Speaker 13: So, I mean, he was there, he was not with the,
- 16:46Speaker 13: he was doing, he was running the whole operation, but had,
- 16:51Speaker 13: it was not the person that was a, uh, I
- 16:54Speaker 13: think there were 300 ballots and three is the limit
- 16:58Speaker 13: in terms of being carrying them around. And, uh, The
- 17:02Speaker 13: Somalian who was actually with this evil person who was
- 17:10Speaker 13: collecting these ballots just stated in this video that it's
- 17:18Speaker 13: all about the money.
- 17:19Speaker 3: Oh, we've seen that now. You don't have to be
- 17:23Speaker 3: a graduate of the Learing Center in Minnesota to know
- 17:27Speaker 3: that it's about the money.
- 17:30Speaker 13: Well, that just if we just stay away from these
- 17:34Speaker 13: wars and.
- 17:36Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. And you talk about constitutional money.
- 17:39Speaker 13: Henry Chase.
- 17:41Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 17:42Speaker 18: OK, go ahead.
- 17:42Speaker 3: Well, you know, but the idea, you know, because all
- 17:45Speaker 3: of this stuff is is a perversion of the Constitution.
- 17:50Speaker 3: We go back and it was all about Alexander Hamilton.
- 17:54Speaker 3: You're a racist because Alexander Hamilton, all of a sudden now.
- 17:57Speaker 3: enough 20-year-olds think Alexander Hamilton was a black man because
- 18:01Speaker 3: their only experience with Hamilton is, you know, through the
- 18:05Speaker 3: Broadway play. But it's not actually Alexander Hamilton. So Hamilton...
- 18:15Speaker 3: is out there telling Washington, well, if they didn't put
- 18:18Speaker 3: it in the Constitution, do it anyway. It's implied powers.
- 18:22Speaker 3: It's you need to do something, so do it. And
- 18:25Speaker 3: we've been on the wrong course ever since then. We
- 18:29Speaker 3: were supposed to be a deliberative body where if the
- 18:31Speaker 3: president wanted to do something, he had to go ask
- 18:35Speaker 3: Congress for permission to do it, and then Congress would
- 18:38Speaker 3: have to grant it or not. And all of these
- 18:41Speaker 3: things have been turned on its head Then we start
- 18:45Speaker 3: after the Civil War extrapolating on the definition of what
- 18:52Speaker 3: the Commerce Clause means. And we insert government into these
- 18:55Speaker 3: regulatory positions that the Constitution never gave it its position to.
- 19:00Speaker 3: And if you allowed the free market to work, would
- 19:03Speaker 3: manage to be adjudicated in the marketplace much more efficiently
- 19:09Speaker 3: than they would be in a court or an administrative
- 19:12Speaker 3: court where the EPA says that We've decided that you're
- 19:16Speaker 3: going to be a polluter at some point, so we're
- 19:18Speaker 3: not going to let you build your airplane parts in Waynesboro, Virginia.
- 19:25Speaker 9: For sure.
- 19:26Speaker 3: Hypothetically, not like that's really happening or anything like that.
- 19:33Speaker 13: Well, you know, I'm a polluter. I actually worked for
- 19:37Speaker 13: Boeing for, I think it was three weeks, and they
- 19:40Speaker 13: had me counting engineers, and I had been hired as
- 19:44Speaker 13: an economic forecaster. and graduated from probably the best undergraduate
- 19:49Speaker 13: program in U.S. history over there at the University of Virginia.
- 19:54Speaker 13: I had started in civil. engineering and could get out
- 20:00Speaker 13: in a much shorter time if I transferred to the
- 20:03Speaker 13: commerce school. And I think the only person I'm still
- 20:07Speaker 13: in touch with is actually the head of the Sotheby's
- 20:11Speaker 13: Real Estate company oh sure i mean those are the
- 20:15Speaker 13: kind of people that you would meet at the commerce.
- 20:18Speaker 3: School so but how many engineers did you count at
- 20:21Speaker 3: grumman at boeing oh boeing i'm sorry yeah northrop grumman's
- 20:26Speaker 3: the one coming.
- 20:27Speaker 13: To waynesburg they were actually hiring 37 000 engineers that
- 20:32Speaker 13: one summer wow They were ramping up for the 757,
- 20:38Speaker 13: 767 program. And so, yeah, this is late 70s.
- 20:44Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Was it that early that they were ramping up for
- 20:48Speaker 3: these bigger jumbo jets? Because, I mean, that era.
- 20:52Speaker 13: They've been building the 747s for probably at least 10 years.
- 20:58Speaker 13: And then, of course, before that, they had built really
- 21:02Speaker 13: great warplanes. We definitely misused those by bombing Germany.
- 21:09Speaker 3: Well, we had to get them to stop because they
- 21:12Speaker 3: weren't going to do that otherwise. Now they're our friends,
- 21:15Speaker 3: so there's that. Anyway, Andy, good stuff, my friend.
- 21:20Speaker 13: And just keep doing it because this is important speech.
- 21:24Speaker 3: And Well, like I said, our faith comes from the
- 21:32Speaker 3: biggest loss, technically, in the history of geopolitics. When the
- 21:37Speaker 3: Romans said, ha-ha, loser, we're nailing you to the cross.
- 21:41Speaker 3: And boy, did that blow up in their face. Miscalculation.
- 21:45Speaker 13: This is also October, which is domestic abuse month. And
- 21:53Speaker 13: I escaped one of the nastiest human beings who ever lived.
- 21:58Speaker 3: And it does work the other way. Let's see.
- 22:01Speaker 4: If something costs less, but people are happier with it,
- 22:05Speaker 4: that sounds like something to look into. And that is MediShare.
- 22:09Speaker 4: Maybe you've heard switching to MediShare to pay for health
- 22:11Speaker 4: care can save many families up to 500 bucks a month.
- 22:14Speaker 3: And that is huge.
- 22:15Speaker 4: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
- 22:18Speaker 4: after making the switch to the member satisfaction rate for
- 22:21Speaker 4: MediShare is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
- 22:25Speaker 3: Double.
- 22:25Speaker 4: MediShare works too. It's been around for 30 years. Members
- 22:28Speaker 4: have shared more than $ 5 billion of each other's bills.
- 22:32Speaker 4: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.

- 28:22Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
- 28:27Speaker 3: I didn't know this. I was just watching on Netflix
- 28:31Speaker 3: this Lorne Michaels documentary. Yeah, it's very good. Mike Myers
- 28:38Speaker 3: admitted that Dr. Evil is Lorne Michaels. That's what he
- 28:45Speaker 3: sounds like. I love it.
- 28:47Speaker 9: I love a good documentary and following stuff.
- 28:51Speaker 14: Now I can't wait for the documentary on the Brewers, Joe,
- 28:54Speaker 14: because I am I'm announcing myself an official Pat Murphy fan.
- 28:59Speaker 9: If they would.
- 29:00Speaker 14: Change those ugly hats, you know, I was going to
- 29:04Speaker 14: send them a design, navy blue hat, just a little logo,
- 29:07Speaker 14: you know, the Brewers logo. What Jake Bowers did and
- 29:11Speaker 14: the story about Jake Bowers last night. uh was really
- 29:14Speaker 14: really good uh i'm going in a different direction today
- 29:17Speaker 14: by the way in just a second but the story
- 29:19Speaker 14: about jake bowers he got out of baseball thought he
- 29:22Speaker 14: was done uh his wife wanted to move back to
- 29:24Speaker 14: milwaukee he moves back to milwaukee uh.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Because he was with cleveland right he was yeah yeah and.
- 29:30Speaker 14: Then he finds then he then he finds out his
- 29:32Speaker 14: wife's pregnant again he goes oh my god i better
- 29:34Speaker 14: get some hospital insurance so he ends up in AA
- 29:39Speaker 14: and works his way back and then delivers. He had
- 29:42Speaker 14: a 12-pitch at bat against Yamamoto the other night. 11
- 29:46Speaker 14: pitch at bat last night, the go ahead home run
- 29:49Speaker 14: followed by, you know, Garrett Mitchell, they go back to back.
- 29:52Speaker 9: I mean, it was just a girl.
- 29:53Speaker 14: I just, I, I really like, I've never, all my life,
- 29:57Speaker 14: I was never really a nationally guy. I, you know,
- 30:00Speaker 14: I love baseball up and down, you know, up and
- 30:03Speaker 14: down all 32 teams, but I American league, American league,
- 30:06Speaker 14: American league, my whole life. And then, but now I
- 30:09Speaker 14: am a real fan.
- 30:10Speaker 9: Real Brewers fan.
- 30:12Speaker 14: I just love the fact that they're taking apart this
- 30:14Speaker 14: $ 400 million.
- 30:16Speaker 9: That's the story.
- 30:17Speaker 3: It's just the best. I love Magic Johnson, and I
- 30:22Speaker 3: love how he approaches the world. But he has gotten
- 30:27Speaker 3: lost in this idea that you can buy it. And
- 30:30Speaker 3: when you're dealing in a game, and Ted Williams said
- 30:33Speaker 3: this best, you're trying to hit a sphere with a
- 30:35Speaker 3: cylinder squarely. And it doesn't matter how much you pay
- 30:42Speaker 3: a ball player, they're only going to get a hit
- 30:45Speaker 3: at best once every three times. And if that doesn't
- 30:48Speaker 3: line up in whatever way, shape, or form, it's not
- 30:52Speaker 3: going to happen for you.
- 30:53Speaker 9: Yeah, Bauer said it. He had a great line last night. Joe,
- 30:56Speaker 9: you're so right. He had a great line last night.
- 30:59Speaker 14: And it's a terminology, you know, if you listen to
- 31:02Speaker 14: press conferences a lot, you pick up great terminology and
- 31:04Speaker 14: I'll use it on the golf course or whatever. But he,
- 31:06Speaker 14: he said last night, he goes, I wanted to take,
- 31:09Speaker 14: I wanted to take the inner lane.
- 31:11Speaker 9: I mean, you know, it's just so good.
- 31:14Speaker 14: And then he, you know, the 11 pitch at battery,
- 31:16Speaker 14: you know, Blake, Blake Snell, and I'll talk about it
- 31:18Speaker 14: next hour. Blake Snell had not pitched in the seventh
- 31:23Speaker 14: inning this season. And he's a left-hander. He had not
- 31:26Speaker 14: given up a left-handed home run all year. So, I mean,
- 31:29Speaker 14: it's just, you know, baseball is very uplifting.
- 31:31Speaker 3: But you can't buy it. You can't ask Hank Steinbrenner.
- 31:34Speaker 15: No.
- 31:37Speaker 14: All right, so I'd like to take you live now
- 31:39Speaker 14: to Birmingham and Hotel Wildermont. The LSU filings and court case,
- 31:44Speaker 14: and Greg Sankey, the reporter's got 15 minutes with Greg
- 31:48Speaker 14: Sankey yesterday.
- 31:48Speaker 9: He said everything.
- 31:51Speaker 14: I mean, Sankey just came out, and I have to
- 31:54Speaker 14: stay with this story because it's so good.
- 31:56Speaker 9: I've got to back up, though.
- 31:58Speaker 14: The LSU filings and court case, I'm giving the SEC
- 32:01Speaker 14: reporters a flowers today because a couple of them had
- 32:05Speaker 14: the the stones to ask sankey some really good questions
- 32:10Speaker 14: it's basketball media day now a lot it a lot
- 32:13Speaker 14: of commissioners would go.
- 32:14Speaker 9: I'm here to talk basketball it's on to philadelphia whatever.
- 32:16Speaker 14: Here so we we quiz the commish the lsu filings
- 32:21Speaker 14: and court case.
- 32:22Speaker 7: Understand their legal filings and all those things i'll ask
- 32:25Speaker 7: just generally What do you want to see from LSU
- 32:27Speaker 7: to feel better about their standing in the conference?
- 32:30Speaker 20: Well, I'd like to not be in court, but as
- 32:32Speaker 20: I said, those legal filings speak for themselves.
- 32:34Speaker 6: Are you concerned, I guess personally, that all these legal
- 32:37Speaker 6: things that are occurring between the SEC and one of
- 32:40Speaker 6: its founding members could be damaged the relationship for the
- 32:43Speaker 6: foreseeable future?
- 32:44Speaker 3: We're certainly concerned.
- 32:46Speaker 20: We've had disagreements among our membership over time, so this
- 32:49Speaker 20: is year 12 for me. I know that there's also
- 32:52Speaker 20: a commitment to the league and a commitment to its members,
- 32:54Speaker 20: but we have to work through some of these difficulties.
- 32:57Speaker 9: He's the master. That's it. So he's getting the flowers bell. Okay.
- 33:01Speaker 3: So that was the, I like that line though. Well,
- 33:03Speaker 3: I wouldn't, I'd like to not be in court. I'd
- 33:05Speaker 3: like to not be in court, you know?
- 33:07Speaker 9: Okay.
- 33:07Speaker 14: So with basketball media day being the reason that Sankey
- 33:11Speaker 14: is there, I think it's only fair that we talk
- 33:14Speaker 14: about the 2014 playoff. After all, we've got only got
- 33:17Speaker 14: the deadline is December 1st, right? So let's get that
- 33:22Speaker 14: 2014 playoff question on the record and, with the SEC commish?
- 33:29Speaker 20: I think I've always communicated that we've never said no,
- 33:33Speaker 20: that that won't happen, that won't be a point of support.
- 33:36Speaker 20: Identified the considerations around media interests, around where the games
- 33:41Speaker 20: are played, around impact on the regular season, noting that's
- 33:46Speaker 20: a judgment that has to be made. We've worked through
- 33:51Speaker 20: and continue to consider and work through those issues. I
- 33:53Speaker 20: think there's an openness there to playoff expansion on our part,
- 33:57Speaker 20: and I certainly think there's an openness.
- 33:59Speaker 3: All the spots are going to be SEC schools.
- 34:03Speaker 14: Yeah, so what happened this morning at 5.50, when I'm
- 34:06Speaker 14: listening to the press conference, you know, or going through
- 34:09Speaker 14: stuff and having a cup of coffee, there was the headline,
- 34:11Speaker 14: Sankey says, I have an openness to it. Whoa, women,
- 34:16Speaker 14: let's back up. This is the commissioner that all summer
- 34:18Speaker 14: dragged his feet with Tony Petitti going, no, we can't
- 34:22Speaker 14: do it. The conference championship game brings too much money
- 34:24Speaker 14: or whatever. But now the four letter is going, whoa, whoa, whoa, we.
- 34:28Speaker 3: Got billions of dollars.
- 34:29Speaker 14: Let's adjust these conference championship games. Believe me, I am
- 34:33Speaker 14: all in. If we get rid of the conference championship
- 34:35Speaker 14: games and we go to a 2014 playoff.
- 34:38Speaker 9: The Big 12 is going, you know what? Had we, okay,
- 34:42Speaker 9: enter athletic director here and we.
- 34:45Speaker 14: Had 24 teams, the Big 12 would have had five
- 34:48Speaker 14: teams in the college football playoff that will start today.
- 34:51Speaker 9: In early december but wait a minute whoa he's not done.
- 34:54Speaker 14: According to sankey basketball media days birmingham alabama hotel wildemont
- 35:00Speaker 14: there has been progress and we can expect a decision
- 35:04Speaker 14: sooner than later.
- 35:06Speaker 20: Going through and trying to remember metrics and analytics and
- 35:09Speaker 20: predictives that may have come from that is probably incredibly
- 35:12Speaker 20: boring and i'd be mostly wrong but i think in
- 35:14Speaker 20: general We have achieved some of the progress we've expected
- 35:18Speaker 20: on scheduling commitments. We'll see if we can finalize those
- 35:21Speaker 20: across the nation. We'll go from there, make some final
- 35:25Speaker 20: decisions probably sooner rather than later is my expectation.
- 35:29Speaker 7: Really?
- 35:29Speaker 3: On expansion, huh?
- 35:32Speaker 14: Have you seen, and I know you've seen it, I've
- 35:34Speaker 14: seen it a bunch, press conference, media day, you only
- 35:38Speaker 14: get 15 minutes, what are the writers saying? maybe the
- 35:40Speaker 14: TV guys, but a lot of times the writers, they
- 35:42Speaker 14: will get up, you know, saying, he says, well, that's
- 35:44Speaker 14: all I have today.
- 35:45Speaker 9: For you guys.
- 35:45Speaker 3: I'm going to leave.
- 35:46Speaker 14: And, you know, and then the key subject, whether it's
- 35:48Speaker 14: a coach, manager, player, whatever, they leave and they go
- 35:50Speaker 14: into the hallway and, and then the whole room empties,
- 35:54Speaker 14: and it's like a soccer herd ball at age four.
- 35:58Speaker 9: All the people, they just go out to the hallway, right?
- 36:02Speaker 14: So now they're trying to get the individual, they're trying
- 36:04Speaker 14: to get whatever lead they can get, so on and
- 36:07Speaker 14: so forth. I just pictured that, that Sankey was followed
- 36:11Speaker 14: by about 40 riders.
- 36:14Speaker 3: Open this?
- 36:15Speaker 9: Sooner than later?
- 36:16Speaker 7: What?
- 36:17Speaker 3: There used to be a comic strip called Bloom County.
- 36:20Speaker 3: And every time the artist Burke Breath would try to
- 36:25Speaker 3: depict press, it was a cloud, a cloud of dust,
- 36:30Speaker 3: and a microphone sticking out of one end and a
- 36:32Speaker 3: camera sticking out. And it was just bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark.
- 36:36Speaker 9: So here's the deal, really the bottom line.
- 36:39Speaker 14: And then if you want to read between the lines,
- 36:40Speaker 14: here's what we're looking at. If the SEC and the
- 36:44Speaker 14: Big Ten... The ACC has already said, hey, we'll get
- 36:46Speaker 14: rid of our conference championship game, but there's got to
- 36:48Speaker 14: be a scheduling model that everybody agrees on.
- 36:52Speaker 9: In other words, hey, Big Ten, you'll play nine conference games.
- 36:55Speaker 15: Nine.
- 36:56Speaker 14: You won't go to ten, you'll play nine conference games.
- 36:58Speaker 14: Same with the SEC, same with ACC. If they get
- 37:01Speaker 14: the power four to say, okay, the power five to say,
- 37:05Speaker 14: we'll play that many conference games, then we're going to
- 37:08Speaker 14: be in pretty good shape. And don't be surprised. I'm
- 37:10Speaker 14: just saying, don't be surprised. Sometime around Thanksgiving... that we're
- 37:15Speaker 14: going to announce it before that December 1st deadline, that
- 37:18Speaker 14: in 2027, there will be a football playoff field of 24.
- 37:24Speaker 9: Do not be surprised.
- 37:26Speaker 3: How soon after that does bracketology get a.
- 37:30Speaker 9: Oh, now it gets really good.
- 37:32Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
- 37:33Speaker 14: It gets really good now.
- 37:35Speaker 3: You know, Matt.
- 37:38Speaker 3: We're up against the clock here, and Matt's efforts brought
- 37:40Speaker 3: to you by the Lunch Pail Foundation. But I got
- 37:42Speaker 3: a really cool email, and this segment reminded me of
- 37:46Speaker 3: it as well. Do you have the opportunity? I know
- 37:49Speaker 3: you've got to get to teaching kids how to do
- 37:51Speaker 3: sports talk and broadcast. Do you have a few moments
- 37:55Speaker 3: for me to discuss money? Not your money or my money,
- 37:59Speaker 3: because you and I don't have any.
- 38:01Speaker 11: In 2024, the American Heart Association celebrates 100 years of
- 38:05Speaker 11: life-saving service as the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on
- 38:09Speaker 11: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
- 38:13Speaker 11: in the United States each year than all types of
- 38:15Speaker 11: cancer combined, but more than half of Americans are unaware
- 38:18Speaker 11: of this fact, according to a recent Harris Poll survey

- 39:04Speaker 23: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 39:09Speaker 23: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
- 39:14Speaker 23: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 39:18Speaker 23: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 39:23Speaker 23: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 39:28Speaker 23: and nutrients to every every part of your body. Both
- 39:32Speaker 23: age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
- 39:35Speaker 23: this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 39:39Speaker 23: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

- 40:33Speaker 24: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
- 40:37Speaker 24: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
- 40:42Speaker 24: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
- 40:45Speaker 24: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 40:49Speaker 24: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 40:53Speaker 24: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 40:57Speaker 24: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
- 41:00Speaker 24: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

- 42:19Speaker 5: Or a mother who's.

- 43:56Speaker 7: It's on.
- 44:10Speaker 1: Talk Radio, just the way your mother used to be.
- 44:13Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:18Speaker 3: Which means it smells a little bit like gin. I
- 44:22Speaker 3: love her anyway. When we debated, there was this beef
- 44:26Speaker 3: heater in the air. So I asked Mac to hang on,
- 44:35Speaker 3: and we'll get to folks on the line. I've got
- 44:37Speaker 3: callers coming in here at 434-882-4217. But, Mac, you said
- 44:42Speaker 3: something that I need to poke in on because it
- 44:45Speaker 3: makes my point from yesterday. You were talking about the
- 44:51Speaker 3: playoff expansion in football, college football, 24 teams, and probably
- 44:57Speaker 3: be 48 before we're done doing radio. and bracketology and
- 45:02Speaker 3: all of that. And you mentioned a dollar. You said
- 45:04Speaker 3: ESPN's come in with billions of dollars in licensing, I guess,
- 45:11Speaker 3: for the leagues if they sign off on making these
- 45:15Speaker 3: kids play more football every year?
- 45:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 45:19Speaker 14: See, they control the contract and have controlled the contract forever. Now,
- 45:24Speaker 14: if the agreement does not get reached in the field
- 45:27Speaker 14: of 24 by December 1– The college football playoff committee
- 45:31Speaker 14: has the right to now negotiate with HBO, Netflix, Amazon, Fox.
- 45:39Speaker 9: I mean, you know, they can go anywhere, any which way,
- 45:42Speaker 9: which it will.
- 45:43Speaker 14: Turn out to be almost like the NCAA basketball tournament. Well,
- 45:46Speaker 14: they'll get you won't know where to find Indiana, Ohio
- 45:49Speaker 14: State in the opening round of the field at 24,
- 45:51Speaker 14: for example.
- 45:53Speaker 17: Right. But.
- 45:54Speaker 9: But TruTV has.
- 45:55Speaker 3: It, or TBS has it. Or some smartphone app that
- 45:59Speaker 3: you only get if you download it. But my point being,
- 46:02Speaker 3: yesterday I received a very sweet email, and it's a
- 46:05Speaker 3: theme that I've got. The guy's emailed me in the
- 46:07Speaker 3: past saying that, you know, you and I are the
- 46:09Speaker 3: best sports talk radio on radio.
- 46:11Speaker 9: Which is so nice, and I'll send that guy something.
- 46:14Speaker 3: But his question was, following that up, why are there
- 46:19Speaker 3: so many sports talk radio stations in comparison to news
- 46:25Speaker 3: talk radio stations. And I said to him, I said,
- 46:28Speaker 3: I hate the sound like this. It's because advertisers, you know,
- 46:33Speaker 3: even the national advertisers that I have to run in
- 46:36Speaker 3: exchange for, you know, a talk show like Vince Colomide
- 46:44Speaker 3: or whatever, those advertisers will say, don't air this commercial
- 46:50Speaker 3: during controversial programming. And I'll say, but I have to
- 46:54Speaker 3: air it because I air controversial programming. It's crazy making.
- 46:59Speaker 3: It's this bipolarness of it. But advertisers don't want to
- 47:05Speaker 3: be on controversial programming, but they like the conversational, you know, live.
- 47:12Speaker 3: It's happening. It's breaking news in a lot of cases.
- 47:18Speaker 3: Aspect of sports talk with it being non-threatening. Outside of
- 47:23Speaker 3: Auburn and Alabama, you're not going to get a fistfight
- 47:26Speaker 3: breaking out over the guy's take on the New York Jets.
- 47:32Speaker 3: It's not threatening. So Mercedes and all these people. So
- 47:35Speaker 3: when you say ESPN has all this money, I go
- 47:38Speaker 3: back to my worry. When does it run out? When
- 47:41Speaker 3: does Mercedes realize that it's not selling any SEL 5000s
- 47:48Speaker 3: because of the Sugar Bowl?
- 47:52Speaker 14: Well, I think, and you know, you're going to, there
- 47:55Speaker 14: are a lot of branches here, especially with sports talk radio,
- 47:57Speaker 14: which actually started in 1964. WHN became the fan in 1987.
- 48:04Speaker 14: And the first 24 hour sports talk station was the fan.
- 48:07Speaker 3: Okay.
- 48:08Speaker 9: So they realized.
- 48:09Speaker 3: That I was listening to that.
- 48:12Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 48:13Speaker 14: And so I'm going to try to sum this up
- 48:15Speaker 14: in a number and a real quick story. One of
- 48:17Speaker 14: the reasons, and Bud Foster and I have been together
- 48:19Speaker 14: for four years.
- 48:20Speaker 1: All right.
- 48:20Speaker 14: Bud served on the committee to search for James Franklin.
- 48:23Speaker 14: The Hokie fan base is one of the more, you know,
- 48:27Speaker 14: one of the more rabid foam fan bases in America.
- 48:31Speaker 7: Right.
- 48:31Speaker 9: So Bud was on the committee.
- 48:33Speaker 14: So Bud, when he finally could release the story of
- 48:36Speaker 14: how they landed James Franklin, our podcast and radio show. Okay,
- 48:40Speaker 14: so I'm talking about the radio affiliates we have like
- 48:43Speaker 14: you and then the podcast that went all over. We
- 48:45Speaker 14: had 30,000 downloads in one month. And that's a true
- 48:52Speaker 14: story because they wanted to know the real story of how.
- 48:56Speaker 9: Bud did it.
- 48:59Speaker 14: And that's what made the big difference and the big jump.
- 49:03Speaker 14: So my point being is that when you can get
- 49:05Speaker 14: people like that who are more, you know, yeah, we're
- 49:09Speaker 14: all upset about Iran and gas prices and what's going
- 49:13Speaker 14: to happen in the midterms or whatever.
- 49:15Speaker 9: I get that.
- 49:16Speaker 14: But people would rather talk Josh Allen and will he
- 49:19Speaker 14: still be able to run again?
- 49:20Speaker 9: The raiders then you know in.
- 49:22Speaker 3: The indiana ohio state i wish i could get that
- 49:24Speaker 3: many people excited about the virginia governor never mind the
- 49:27Speaker 3: virginia tech football i understand all.
- 49:29Speaker 14: Right i get it it's uh It's definitely a phenomenon,
- 49:33Speaker 14: and a lot of people go that route.
- 49:35Speaker 9: Thank goodness.
- 49:36Speaker 3: But I know they're listening. See, that's the thing. See,
- 49:38Speaker 3: this is the baffling thing is, you know, I'll look
- 49:42Speaker 3: at the ratings for some of these games, especially the
- 49:45Speaker 3: midseason games, and they're dreck. They're dreck. And more people
- 49:49Speaker 3: are watching Fox News or even ABC News. And I'm like, okay,
- 49:53Speaker 3: so why aren't you sponsoring this stuff?
- 49:56Speaker 7: Oh.
- 49:56Speaker 3: That's right. Your board of directors will half your board
- 49:59Speaker 3: of directors will say, I don't want my money spent
- 50:02Speaker 3: supporting somebody. And so it becomes this.
- 50:05Speaker 9: All right.
- 50:06Speaker 3: Sponsor the Sugar Bowl. I don't care if anyone's watching.
- 50:09Speaker 3: Just say we're doing it. And it becomes I don't know.
- 50:12Speaker 3: It just it just becomes like a sticker.
- 50:15Speaker 14: Well, the NFL somehow the NFL somehow found a model,
- 50:18Speaker 14: which is just crazy now. And then when you've got
- 50:21Speaker 14: a team like the Brewers and now you've got a
- 50:23Speaker 14: good story. As long as you have a good story
- 50:25Speaker 14: in what we do, to me, the field of 24,
- 50:29Speaker 14: just to me, every morning, that field of.
- 50:32Speaker 9: 24 story is one of the great stories to me.
- 50:37Speaker 3: Sure. And it's one that's been coming for a while, too,
- 50:40Speaker 3: and a lot of.
- 50:41Speaker 9: Those are– Yeah, so that's why I follow it the
- 50:42Speaker 9: way I follow it.
- 50:43Speaker 3: Maybe– That's how we should do presidential elections. We'll do
- 50:47Speaker 3: it like bracketology.
- 50:48Speaker 9: Do it in bracket.
- 50:49Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 50:49Speaker 9: A field of 68 would be awesome.
- 50:52Speaker 3: That's what we need. Anyway, Mac, thank you for hanging
- 50:54Speaker 3: on with us and answering. Good stuff, my friend. No problem.
- 50:58Speaker 3: Follow the money. That's how it goes. Joel is hanging
- 51:01Speaker 3: on the line with us patiently. Good morning, Joel. How
- 51:03Speaker 3: are you doing this morning?
- 51:05Speaker 10: Good morning.
- 51:06Speaker 9: I'm doing okay. I finally, hopefully, hope this all works out.
- 51:12Speaker 3: I got an ER position and a stand-up. Awesome. Well,
- 51:16Speaker 3: I mean, that's one of those jobs. It's like every
- 51:18Speaker 3: time I see a law enforcement officer, when we finish chatting,
- 51:22Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, have a quiet day today. They're like, what?
- 51:26Speaker 3: Because what is a good day to somebody who works
- 51:29Speaker 3: in an emergency room? You're doing sanctified work. People are
- 51:33Speaker 3: coming in there hanging on the strings, the edge of death. And,
- 51:37Speaker 3: you know, I'm sure a good day is one where
- 51:39Speaker 3: you save some lives, but it's sure as heck is
- 51:43Speaker 3: a stressful one. So I always wish for folks who
- 51:46Speaker 3: work in emergency rooms, and I know you have in
- 51:49Speaker 3: the past, but in law enforcement as well, you know,
- 51:52Speaker 3: have a quiet day. Have a quiet day today. But
- 51:55Speaker 3: that's good news that somebody's looking at you for that.
- 51:58Speaker 3: And may you be a blessing to their face or
- 52:02Speaker 3: something like that.
- 52:04Speaker 9: Well, it's kind of like what you and Dr.
- 52:06Speaker 3: Clark were talking about, too.
- 52:07Speaker 9: But I don't want to just talk about me.
- 52:09Speaker 3: I want to talk about the subject. Well, no, hold on.
- 52:11Speaker 3: I mean, that's what I do. I talk about me
- 52:14Speaker 3: all the time, don't I? That's what everyone says, too. Oh,
- 52:17Speaker 3: you talk radio show hosts. You love yourself so much
- 52:20Speaker 3: and everything. And that's all well and good. And don't forget,
- 52:26Speaker 3: if you have a feeling on the news, 434-882-4217, on
- 52:28Speaker 3: any of it, Emails come into JTInTheMorningRadio at gmail.com, especially
- 52:39Speaker 3: if it's a story you haven't heard me hit yet,
- 52:42Speaker 3: because I know your window of opportunity with the program
- 52:45Speaker 3: is probably about 20, 25 minutes, maybe if I'm lucky,
- 52:48Speaker 3: a whole half hour with you.
- 52:51Speaker 11: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
- 52:53Speaker 11: compression of spinal nerves. According to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
- 52:57Speaker 11: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience, This
- 53:01Speaker 11: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
- 53:05Speaker 11: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
- 53:09Speaker 11: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
- 53:12Speaker 11: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
- 53:16Speaker 11: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
- 53:20Speaker 11: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
- 53:24Speaker 11: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
- 53:27Speaker 11: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
- 53:30Speaker 11: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
- 53:33Speaker 11: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
- 53:36Speaker 11: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
- 53:38Speaker 12: And Dr.
- 53:39Speaker 11: Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos and detailed instructions.
