  Speaker 3: And then I want to hear from you as to
• 0:53

  Speaker 3: to Deezer, which upon finding out that my podcast was
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: on there, my daughter re-nicknamed Geezer, Podchaser, all kinds of
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: places you can find us there and listen to the
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: stuff you may not have heard. I might reference something
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: and I always try to make sure that the new
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: crowd gets hip to the fact that we may have
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: mentioned something earlier like the oldest war in human history
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: or gas taxes or NATO and their behavior towards Russia.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: And all those things can come back to us this
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: morning as we get together on a Teds-D, which is
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: the day we set aside to celebrate God's gifts to
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: you and once knowing what they are, becoming expert at them.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: And then in the application of same, you no longer
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: have to worry about what the keyboard warriors say about you.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: while you sit there at this great American cafeteria on
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: social media with three or four close friends trying to
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: have a conversation, and the class bully shows up trying
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: to ruin your day, you won't have it ruined. Trust me,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I've been in that cafeteria, both in metaphor, but also
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: in real life. I've been in that cafeteria, so I
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: know from which I speak. Our first things this morning, so.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: It's not fair.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: So tell us what you think about the news without
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: telling you about the news. President Trump said Tuesday his
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: administration is considering suspending a federal gasoline tax. He was
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: asked about it by reporters on the way into a
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: rally in Maryland. We're thinking about that, he told reporters.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Then he went in and touted the $ 3. 7 billion investment
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: in Submariner Technologies. nuclear-powered submarines at a Baltimore-area shipyard. The
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: workers of Baltimore and the shipyard here at Sparrows Point
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: have been a vital part of the American industrial strength
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: for literally over 100 years, and it's going.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: To be a big part of our future.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Russia says that it has no cases of plague among
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the people who had contact with the laboratory worker who
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: died last week after developing pneumonia of an undetermined origin.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Russia's consumer health watchdog said about 60% of identified contacts
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: had been tested and no plague had been found. Speaking
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: of a plague on your houses, war could be coming
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: to Russia. NATO, in the wake of revelations several weeks
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: ago that we told you about that CIA briefed NATO
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: leaders that Russia had a plan to attack them.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: They said, oh, no, no, no, we will destroy you first.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Stars and Stripes publishing this report yesterday that they have
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: a plan, including forward position troops, drones, and AI to

  Speaker 3: day Israel celebrates the first anniversary of the October 7th
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: terrorist attack since all the hostages have been returned home,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: marking a new stage in the three years since that attack.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Also going on while this anniversary hovers over Israel is
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: a parliamentary election, the first one since the October 7th attack.

  Speaker 3: I have nothing else to talk about in the commercials.

• 6:59
  Speaker 3: thrill seeker so I can hurt more stuff.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

  Speaker 8: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them, nestled
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: favorite form of ear candy. Oh, my. Those bejeweled sprinkles
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 11: Shh!
• 9:29
  Speaker 12: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 13: Shh!
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: training and more.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: So go forth.
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so much
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 14: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 15: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 15: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 15: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 15: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 15: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 15: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:23
  Speaker 15: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 15: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 15: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 15: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 16: Eat better.
• 10:42
  Speaker 15: Get moving. Visit checkupamerica.org or call 1-800-DIABETES, a message from

  Speaker 15: the American Diabetes Association.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: My name is Jim. I'm a veteran, and I lost
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: both legs in Vietnam. My victory was proving that a
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: disability is not a limitation.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I'm Julius. I'm a veteran. My victory was going from
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: homeless to home.
• 11:03
  Speaker 14: At DAV, we're on a mission, helping veterans of all
• 11:06
  Speaker 14: generations get the benefits they've earned.
• 11:09
  Speaker 16: I'm CeCe.
• 11:10
  Speaker 15: My victory was finishing my education.
• 11:12
  Speaker 14: When America's veterans win, we all win. Help us support
• 11:16
  Speaker 14: more victories for veterans. Go to DAV.org.

  Speaker 12: No word in the English language is less convincing.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Then probably.
• 11:52
  Speaker 10: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:54
  Speaker 10: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 18: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 18: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: I can probably swim. Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 12: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Cramp!
• 12:13
  Speaker 19: I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 9: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Probably....
• 12:23
  Speaker 16: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: and driving.
• 12:39
  Speaker 17: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
• 12:42
  Speaker 12: Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you
• 12:45
  Speaker 12: by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:47
  Speaker 16: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
• 12:50
  Speaker 16: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.

• 12:58
  Speaker 16: the Federal Trade Commission.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: On this Ted's D morning, thank you for letting us
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: be of service to you. And we'll get back cards
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: and letters. We get cards and letters, but also reaction,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: our point on NATO saber-rattling Russia. I made some fairly
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: unusual comments regarding Europe and Russia there. You know, I
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: was talking about Mesa Verde hemp. It is really something
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I've only started using, this CBD oil. And it's true, though.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I put it on, and my knee stops hurting. My
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: wife's back stopped hurting. I'm running out of things to
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: say in the ad, except that I maybe have to
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: go out and start exercising more, so more things will
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: start to hurt. MesaVerdeHemp.com is where you find Sealy's goodies there.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Another one is my diet, which I eat a pretty...
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: plant-based diet. It is plant-based. My wife does a lot
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: of that. So I am fairly immune to gut issues.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I feel like my gut is doing pretty well. We're
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: all very conscious of the gut biome and all of that.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Rachel Dyckman, Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, though, I'm serious because
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: our diet is impacting a people every day. Rachel, thank
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: you for taking some time out with us. How are
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: you doing?
• 14:45
  Speaker 20: Good morning. I'm doing well. Thank you. How are you?
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Excellent. But then again, I am not a sufferer.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Talk about what happens to people and how hard it
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: is to really get a grip on a diagnosis of
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: having Crohn's and colitis.
• 15:03
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 15:04
  Speaker 20: So Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis impact one in 100
• 15:07
  Speaker 20: Americans And they are chronic lifelong conditions that cause inflammation
• 15:12
  Speaker 20: in the digestive tract. And together they're known as IBD
• 15:15
  Speaker 20: or inflammatory bowel disease. And typically they are diagnosed by
• 15:20
  Speaker 20: a gastroenterologist, usually a combination of different tests, blood work, colonoscopy, endoscopy.
• 15:26
  Speaker 20: It can be tricky initially sometimes to get a diagnosis.
• 15:30
  Speaker 20: But once you are diagnosed, one of the greatest daily
• 15:33
  Speaker 20: challenges for people living with IBD as well as other
• 15:36
  Speaker 20: digestive conditions is is really figuring out what to eat,
• 15:39
  Speaker 20: which is exactly why the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation created
• 15:43
  Speaker 20: Gut-Friendly Recipes, which is an online resource with over 500
• 15:47
  Speaker 20: dietician-approved recipes specifically for people with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis,
• 15:53
  Speaker 20: and other digestive issues as well.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Now, if I remember correctly, again, qualifying myself, there are
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: some symptoms, but it's hard to tell sometimes. There there's
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: a consistency. There's a frequency of gut discomfort that that
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: is at least should be a motivator to have you
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: go ask a doctor, hey, what's up with this?
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 16:20
  Speaker 20: Correct, correct. So people with IBD typically will be running
• 16:25
  Speaker 20: to the bathroom frequently. Of course, this is going to
• 16:27
  Speaker 20: be very individualized. It depends on the form of IBD,
• 16:30
  Speaker 20: the severity, the extent of the disease, where it is located.
• 16:33
  Speaker 20: It can vary person to person, but oftentimes someone will
• 16:37
  Speaker 20: be running to the bathroom frequently, urgently. They may have
• 16:41
  Speaker 20: blood in their stool. They may experience a lot of
• 16:43
  Speaker 20: abdominal pain, cramping, potentially nausea, weight loss, malnutrition. potentially even
• 16:50
  Speaker 20: fevers and what they call extra intestinal manifestations, which are
• 16:54
  Speaker 20: essentially just symptoms that occur outside of the gut. So
• 16:57
  Speaker 20: some people will have eye inflammation, skin inflammation, joint inflammation.
• 17:02
  Speaker 20: So again, it's very individualized, but definitely important if you
• 17:06
  Speaker 20: suspect to see a gastroenterologist to be evaluated.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I do know also medically, I don't know Dr. I,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: but I talked to a lot of them that inflammation
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: is one of the more, you know, We're finding out
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: more and more about how other things are connected to
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: scar tissue that comes from inflammation, specifically things like our
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: blood vessels. The more we have inflammation there, the more
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: scar tissue, the more cholesterol buildup, the more the risk
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: of high blood.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Pressure and stroke, those sorts of things.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: So you talk about the inflammation in the gut and
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: the bowel areas. That can be dangerous if the scar
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: tissue is allowed to keep building up.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Correct, Rachel?
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: Correct.
• 17:51
  Speaker 20: So really the goal of treatment is to keep inflammation
• 17:55
  Speaker 20: levels low, ideally to get someone into remission where they
• 17:59
  Speaker 20: do not have active inflammation in the gut to prevent
• 18:02
  Speaker 20: the scar tissue from forming. Or in the case of
• 18:05
  Speaker 20: Crohn's disease, people can develop something called a stricture, which
• 18:08
  Speaker 20: is a narrowing of the intestine due to scar tissue.
• 18:11
  Speaker 20: So through a combination generally of medical treatment, medication, and diet,
• 18:17
  Speaker 20: that can really be helpful in keeping those inflammation levels controlled.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Now, aside from staying comfortable, the diet plan that you're
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: talking about, first off, where do you find it? But also,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I imagine these are diet plans that would help accomplish that, right, Rachel?
• 18:35
  Speaker 13: Exactly.
• 18:36
  Speaker 20: So the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation created this online resource,
• 18:40
  Speaker 20: Gut-Friendly Recipes. which has over 500 dietician-approved recipes that are
• 18:46
  Speaker 20: really built around what works. So for example, things like soft,
• 18:50
  Speaker 20: lean proteins to provide the building blocks that the gut
• 18:53
  Speaker 20: needs to heal and repair. Also things like vegetables that
• 18:57
  Speaker 20: are prepared in a way so that they're very gentle
• 19:00
  Speaker 20: on the gut and easier to digest. Fruits that are
• 19:02
  Speaker 20: blended into smoothies to help break down the fiber so
• 19:05
  Speaker 20: that it's a lot easier on the gut. Healthy fats,
• 19:08
  Speaker 20: gentle grains and starches. So it really helps to take
• 19:12
  Speaker 20: the guesswork out of what to eat and turns it
• 19:14
  Speaker 20: into real, practical, flavorful meals. It really also shows that
• 19:19
  Speaker 20: you don't have to eat in a bland, boring way
• 19:22
  Speaker 20: when you have a gut issue. It's all about these
• 19:24
  Speaker 20: little subtle adjustments in portion size, texture, to really make
• 19:29
  Speaker 20: the meal a lot better tolerated.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: And getting out ahead of it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, because if it's untreated, not to play scare tactic,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: but I'm in radio, so I guess that's what I'm
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: supposed to do. But the punchline is, you know, treat
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: it easily now with diet or it becomes much more
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: medically effective.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Intrusive later, doesn't it, Rachel?
• 19:54
  Speaker 20: Correct. And I do want to emphasize that most people
• 19:56
  Speaker 20: will require some form of medication or medical treatment in
• 20:00
  Speaker 20: conjunction with diet, but diet can really help to support
• 20:04
  Speaker 20: long-term remission. It can also help to make medications work better,
• 20:09
  Speaker 20: improve overall patient outcomes and quality of life. So really,
• 20:13
  Speaker 20: I think about diet and medical management working together to
• 20:17
  Speaker 20: ultimately promote hopefully long-lasting remission and prevent any negative downstream consequences.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Pun intended, I imagine. Rachel, I was hoping to get
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: a laugh out of you.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: She's so serious. She's so focused on it. Where do
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: people find out more about this diet plan? Is there
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: a special website for it or just go to the
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Crohn's and Colitis Foundation website?
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Where should people go?
• 20:44
  Speaker 20: Yes. So for free recipes and more information, you can
• 20:47
  Speaker 20: go to gutfriendlyrecipes.org, which is on the Crohn's and Colitis
• 20:52
  Speaker 20: Foundation's website.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Excellent.

• 21:08
  Speaker 3: You know, unfortunately, Ted Nugent did a lot of bands,
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: not the birds. It was in some notable things there,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: but I think the point and.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Is made, you know, that we were talking about war.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: And that it's very easy to fall into the, you know,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: warmonger neocon versus the, you know, never war peacenik.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Because the media loves to paint.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Everything in black and white, which is funny because everything, oh,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: we're in technicolor now, except for Our stories, which we
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: all seem to paint everyone as black and white.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: I'll get into that coming up.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: herbal supplements had no trace of the advertised herb. Don't

• 22:31
  Speaker 21: Would your car perform better with premium gas or regular?
• 22:34
  Speaker 21: What do octane ratings mean? I'm Ron Ananyan, The Car Doctor,
• 22:38
  Speaker 21: your automotive prescription, right after this.
• 22:41
  Speaker 19: Increase fuel economy up to 7.9% with Hot Shot Secret
• 22:44
  Speaker 19: Gasoline Extreme, the solution to maximize your engine's performance and

  Speaker 19: fuel economy. Whether you're driving a sports car or a
• 22:51
  Speaker 19: daily commuter, Gasoline Extreme is specially formulated with PEA to
• 22:55
  Speaker 19: deep clean. Don't settle for an average driving experience. Upgrade

  Speaker 4: Hot Shot Secret.

  Speaker 2: Powered by science.
• 23:10
  Speaker 21: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 21: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:16
  Speaker 21: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:20
  Speaker 21: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 21: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
• 23:26
  Speaker 21: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
• 23:29
  Speaker 21: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
• 23:31
  Speaker 21: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
• 23:35
  Speaker 21: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:37
  Speaker 21: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:40
  Speaker 21: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 21: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
• 23:47
  Speaker 21: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
• 23:50
  Speaker 21: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
• 23:53
  Speaker 21: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.
• 23:56
  Speaker 21: With your automotive prescription, I'm Ron Anany and the Car Doctor.
• 23:59
  Speaker 21: See you next time.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 7: It's on.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Local and corporate controlled is still corporate controlled. First thing
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: On this Ted's day, it is time for Mac McDonald
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: to open his sports reporters notebook for us. This, these
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: are his salad days, not just because his wife's watching
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: out for his weight, but this is when the coaches
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: all start to have their press conferences and Mac.
• 28:38
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 28:39
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: If you've ever seen the cartoon of the editor who's
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: just buried up to his waist in tape piled up
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: on the floor, that's what Mac looks like. Even in
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: the days of digital recording, he still piles tape around
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: his feet.
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm still digging out from a lot of stuff
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: and keeping notes. And I found a notebook the other
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: day filled with an actual notebook filled with All this minutiae.
• 29:04
  Speaker 11: And I went, yeah, no, I'm not going to throw
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: it away.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: There might be a.
• 29:07
  Speaker 11: Phone number in there or something. I had a great
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: conversation yesterday. At least people in the state of Virginia
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: would know this name. Robbie Robinson. He is the voice
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: of VCU. does a lot of marketing and stuff. And
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: I hadn't talked to Robbie in a long time and
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: his family's doing great. And I told Robbie, I said,
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: congrats on everything. It's good to catch up with people.
• 29:29
  Speaker 11: And I said, I just waited too long to call you.
• 29:32
  Speaker 11: It's just one of those things.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: Let's talk rubbing and racing. Brad Kozlowski does not have
• 29:38
  Speaker 11: a place where he going to go. He doesn't have
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: a landing spot for next year, but he is leaving
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: Roush Fenway. Kozlowski racing at the end of the year,
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: known as RFK. However, it does not mean he's ready
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: to retire after 19 years in NASCAR.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Now, we talked last week.
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: He said the end of the 26 season will mark
• 29:57
  Speaker 11: the conclusion of his five-year contract with RFK. He expressed
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: confidence that he will be driving next season. He has
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: not ruled out team ownership in the future, so a
• 30:07
  Speaker 11: lot in his future. But he told the media yesterday,
• 30:11
  Speaker 11: don't sit tight.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, sit tight.
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: I got everything under control.
• 30:15
  Speaker 24: You know, it's been a hell of a ride. I've
• 30:16
  Speaker 24: enjoyed everything I've got to do with RFK. And, you know,
• 30:20
  Speaker 24: my career is not over by any means. There's a
• 30:21
  Speaker 24: lot of things that still work out. I can't really
• 30:24
  Speaker 24: go into details on how we got where we are,
• 30:25
  Speaker 24: at least not at this time. Probably brings me to
• 30:27
  Speaker 24: the third part of where I'm going, what I'm going
• 30:29
  Speaker 24: to do. You know, had a pretty good idea that
• 30:31
  Speaker 24: this was, you know, in the works for the last
• 30:32
  Speaker 24: few months. Had a few people reach out before then. And,
• 30:37
  Speaker 24: you know, I'm just kind of gathering all the opportunities,
• 30:39
  Speaker 24: see what makes sense, and then we'll make a decision
• 30:41
  Speaker 24: in a couple months or so.
• 30:42
  Speaker 11: You know, Joe, in our past and whatever, especially since
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: we've been in radio forever, yes, I'll get to your
• 30:48
  Speaker 11: question in just a minute. But in the past when
• 30:50
  Speaker 11: we've had, you know, me, sometimes the general manager would
• 30:53
  Speaker 11: come in and go, by the way, we'd like, can
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: you add this to your list of things to do?
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Blah, blah, blah.
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: Well, Chip Bowers wanted, he's the president of RFK Racing, said,
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: that he wanted Kozlowski to focus on driving, but he
• 31:07
  Speaker 11: wanted him to transition fully into team leadership. And Kozlowski said,
• 31:13
  Speaker 11: that's not. You know, that's not really where I want
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: to go. So, anyway, that's over 19 years. Kozlowski, 36 wins,
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: over 623 Cup Series starts. So, there you go.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, Joe Thomas. No, no, no.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to make an announcement of format here.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Brad Kozlowski, whoever he drives for, is now the official
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: NASCAR driver of First Thing Today by Joe Thomas because I.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Get it, brother. I get it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: And don't answer the door if it's a FedEx truck, okay?
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: They're serving you papers.
• 31:49
  Speaker 11: Yeah, because you're never sure.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: They're tying this to the Joe Gibbs situation with his
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: former crew chief or the competition director or whatever that
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: went to Spire Racing because now they're saying that may
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: be where Keselowski's going and that now everyone in the
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: garage is saying, oh, the owner of Spire Racing is
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: just trying to steal everybody else's research by bringing in
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: the guy from Gibbs racing. And then they're going to
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: hire Keselowski or sell part of it because Keselowski has
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: got to be bought out. He owns part of the team,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: so he's going to have a golden parachute. Um, they're, um, they're,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: but they're, they're saying it's the same thing. How much
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: of Roush Fenway engineering is Keselowski doing? going to be
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: allowed to you know and this is this is what
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: hits home with me is they're saying oh uh we
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: taught brad metaphorically for my friends in radio who who
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: insists that i didn't work for them for 17 years
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: um you know we taught brad keselowski who by the
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: way came to roush fenway racing with his nascar championship
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: until um we've taught him everything and now he has
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: to forget everything Uh, before he goes to work for
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: someone else, um, this Brad Kowalski is our driver. He's
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: the official driver of first thing today.
• 33:10
  Speaker 11: And that's the great thing about the racing industry is
• 33:15
  Speaker 11: the fact that all the business dealings in the other sports,
• 33:18
  Speaker 11: I mean, yeah, there's.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: Trades in that kind of thing.
• 33:20
  Speaker 11: Like, and you know, with whatever, you know, basement major league, baseball,
• 33:24
  Speaker 11: football stuff, but in racing, almost every detail is always
• 33:29
  Speaker 11: on the surface. The racing industry trusts the racing writers
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: and the media that covers the sport.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: And so they release things all the time.
• 33:40
  Speaker 11: And so when you go to the track, you know
• 33:43
  Speaker 11: about 30 or 40.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Business things already.
• 33:46
  Speaker 11: So forget the family sitting with the headsets in the
• 33:48
  Speaker 11: stands just watching and listening to their driver. They know,
• 33:51
  Speaker 11: do you realize that Kozlowski did this and he did
• 33:54
  Speaker 11: this and driving to... They just know everything. That's the
• 33:59
  Speaker 11: great thing about.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: Racing, really.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: And this might annoy friends of ours in Dalton, Georgia,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: listening on News Talk 1230 down there or any of
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: the other southern realms that we're in. But Toyota is
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: the last vestige of people who race for the reason
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: people race in the first place. The reason the Indy
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: 500 is in Indianapolis is that's where the tire manufacturers
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: all were.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Or close to it.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: So they all came there to stress test their tires.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: The auto manufacturers used to like to race. All right,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: there was the NASCAR we were showing off for the bootleggers. So,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: you know, I have a speedy car, so hire me
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: to run your moonshine.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: But most of the other forms.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Of auto sports, the 24-hour of Le Mans, everything, is
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: so that the auto manufacturers show off how good their
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: engineering is. Look at how tough our car is. It
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: sounds like a hackneyed movie. It's a whole lot better
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: of a sports movie than air. But it ironically has
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Matt Damon in.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: Both of them.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Ford versus Ferrari is all of what motorsport was, was
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: let's make our cars as good as we can. And
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: part of the reason Toyota came in and gets it
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: is Toyota Racing Division said, we are going to create
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: innovations that will then go into our Tundras and our Camrys.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: Dealerships.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: So the better we race, the better our engines are
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: going to be in our consumer cars. And that's what
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: racing is supposed to be. It's supposed to be about
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: testing our engineering marvels to see if it works. And
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: I think we've gotten away from it with this cookie cutter.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Here's your body panels. Here's your engine. Here are your
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: shock absorbers. Now just go race because they're trying to
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: be the stick and ball sports. They're trying to be,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: you know, root for Giancarlo Stanton wherever he plays.
• 36:11
  Speaker 11: But even though I think they're so far ahead of it, yeah,
• 36:14
  Speaker 11: and you make a great point, but I think they're
• 36:17
  Speaker 11: way ahead of the stick and ball sports too. With
• 36:19
  Speaker 11: everything they've done for the longest time, I think they're right. Okay,
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: interesting story. Let's switch to baseball. Max Fried is going
• 36:26
  Speaker 11: to go tonight. The Yankees are down 2-0 to Tampa
• 36:29
  Speaker 11: Bay in the American League Division Series. Aaron Boone is
• 36:31
  Speaker 11: rolling with Max Freed in game three. Now you're saying, well,
• 36:34
  Speaker 11: is that any real big deal? Well, sort of, because
• 36:38
  Speaker 11: Freed could have gotten, he could have left because his girlfriend,
• 36:41
  Speaker 11: Rennie Meyer Whaley, is having a baby.
• 36:44
  Speaker 23: I would not like to get too into the personal stuff,
• 36:48
  Speaker 23: but yeah, that's true. I guess has that complicated this
• 36:52
  Speaker 23: heavy for you? Uh, No, I've got a really supportive
• 36:56
  Speaker 23: family that understands that this is my job, and it's
• 37:01
  Speaker 23: not going to affect what happens tomorrow.
• 37:04
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we'll see if he goes three innings. And Mason Miller,
• 37:09
  Speaker 11: the Padres thought Mason Miller was so bad. Aren't you
• 37:11
  Speaker 11: having a baby soon? He goes, good, you're on maternity leave.
• 37:14
  Speaker 11: And what Joe predicted, Joe's IQ is so high.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Tony Romo.
• 37:22
  Speaker 11: And CBS have mutually agreed to part ways.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: And J.J.
• 37:26
  Speaker 11: Watt and I have been so good last weekend.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: J.J.
• 37:30
  Speaker 11: Watt is tearing up with Jim Nant.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: J.J. Watt is really good.
• 37:37
  Speaker 11: So Tony Romo and CBS done. He had four years
• 37:41
  Speaker 11: and 72 million remaining on his tenure.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Ten-year, $ 180 million.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: That's a big man, because it's gotten so bad for Tony,
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: he's called us to see if we needed a sports guy.
• 37:52
  Speaker 11: So welcome to Amazon Prime on Thursday night, Tony.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Have a good time.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: I will see you tomorrow morning.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Beck.
• 38:01
  Speaker 17: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
• 38:05
  Speaker 17: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
• 38:09
  Speaker 17: the police? At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
• 38:13
  Speaker 17: protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather create.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: More chaos by playing politics.
• 38:20
  Speaker 17: If you're sick of elected officials caving in to demands
• 38:22

  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric oxide

  Speaker 25: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 25: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 25: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 25: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:48
  Speaker 25: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 25: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 25: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 41:00
  Speaker 25: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

  Speaker 10: Job, not for extra spending money, but to help feed
• 42:17
  Speaker 10: his little sisters?
• 42:19
  Speaker 13: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes

• 43:56
  Speaker 10: It's on.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:18
  Speaker 23: The what?
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: That must be because you didn't get your booster. Doctor
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: giving you the cure? What world does that guy live in?
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: That's fiction. Doctors aren't there for that anymore. I mean,
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: they are.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: I think most people, just like teachers, and I feel
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: for folks, because we live in this ones and zeros,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: black and white world, that all the people who go
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: into medicine to heal people, to make them better, to
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: give them the medicine they need to make them better
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: so that they don't have to see them again are getting,
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: you know, trampled under the media coverage of the ones
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: who are out there just, you know, hawking pills. And I,
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: you know, I feel for the ones who get into
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: teaching for that too. I want to, I want to
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: inspire kids. I want them to, and then you get
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: there and it breaks your heart. This is why as
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: an abstract that, There's an adjunct to the homeschool movement
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: that you may or may not have heard of. It's
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: called micro schools. Micro school is, for lack of a
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: better example, what the one room schoolhouse used to be
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: in the old days. It's a bunch of folks. Maybe
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: they all live on a cul-de-sac. Maybe they all go
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: to the same church, whatever they decide. I don't have
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: time to homeschool 100% by myself. So what do I,
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: you know, okay. So Marge, Joe, Steve, Karen, you guys
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: each take a day and you run the homeschool and
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: maybe it gets so big, they hire a teacher. And
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: this has become one of the biggest things in teaching teachers,
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: leaving the teacher's union to hang out their own shingle and,
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: and do better economically than while actually achieving the goals
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: that they went to school for, which is sitting with
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: kids and helping them learn. So a huge supporter of this.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: It's a relatively new thing, the micro school movement. Find
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: my friends at the Virginia Education Opportunity Alliance is a
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: big part of it. Craig DeSessa is the leader. It's
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: adjunct to my think tank that I work with, the
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: Virginia Institute for Public Policy. I wanted to, and I
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: had to go shuffling through files, and I apologize to
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: my friend John. You know John Sutz, one of our researchers,
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: and really, I mean, we have some fun with the phrase,
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: you know, the research department at First Thing Today by
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas, you know, and Eddie and Joel and, you know,
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: and Kareem. They'll all correct me when I, you know,
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: and I'm in a moment and it's like, no, George
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: Soros is from Democratic Party headquarters, not Yugoslavia, Joe. Men
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: are from Mars, women are from Venus, and all other
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: genders are from, well, you fill in the blank. Well, no,
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: I know some do pronounce it Uranus, but for the
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: sake of the joke, I was going to say it
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: the other way, but it's too late now. So our
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: friend John did some great research into this. And by research,
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: I mean he read a bunch of Gallup polls, which
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: can be difficult enough. But while we're talking about the
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: third anniversary of the terror attacks when Hamas, before they
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: were able to get themselves rebranded as a marginalized community,
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: would you realize, I mean, not only is it remarkable
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: that Hamas could find an ad agency in Chicago, would
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: take the job, but also in the short span of
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: three years has completely rebranded them as a misunderstood, marginalized community.
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: Who are just, you know, who are.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: Just striking out for their civil rights and killing, you know,
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: a thousand some odd people at a concert. And I
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: understand that there's a raging debate about the raging things
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: that went on after the killing. I'm fine with just
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: saying killing 1,200 people is bad. But this comes from
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: just nothing more than John's research into Gallup polls that
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: he all posts on his website. This is an infographic
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: you'll find there. 60% of American 18 to 24-year-olds support
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: Hamas compared to 44% of U.S.
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: Muslims that do.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: So rattle that around in your being for a second.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: More privileged, if you will, Caucasian mostly, American teens and
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: early 20 support Hamas than American Muslims do. And this
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: is one of the points I've made frequently is that
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: in our coverage, I try so desperately and sometimes I fail.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: to refer to them as radical Islamists. Earlier, when we
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: were talking about the oldest war, a lot of people
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: get lost and, Joe, the Barbary pirates were in Tripoli.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: They weren't in Tehran. The radical Islamist movement is who
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: they were. They were using their heightened extreme definitions.
• 50:33
  Speaker 13: To.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: justify their murder and pillage and such, just like they
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: do in Tehran. So the movement has moved like a
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: swarm of locusts. They were sure they were in Tripoli
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: and Libya. Now they're in Tehran and Baghdad. And they
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: kill more Muslims every year than they kill Christians. Then
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: they killed Jews. Maybe there was a spike in 2023.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, there was a.
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: But the person who's most afraid of a radical Islamist
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: is a Muslim because they're first on the hit parade
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: because not only are they the infidel, they're the infidel
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: from within. they've hit the double point score. They don't
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: get the Kewpie doll, unless the Kewpie doll is full
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: of C4 and is about to blow them to smithereens.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: But the infographic, we should share this again on social
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: media when he sent it to me a couple of
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: weeks ago. But on this third anniversary, I think it
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: would tweak a few people, don't you think, to share this.
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: This is just data. 60% of American 18 to 24
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: year olds support Hamas over Israel. 60-40, whereas only 44%
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: of Muslims support Hamas. This goes into the culture of
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: being seen in the right club because 18 to 24-year-olds
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: also are very easily preyed upon for those like, come
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: to this march. It's cool when they don't even know
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: what's going on. Thus, the LGBTQ for Hamas t-shirts.
• 52:51
  Speaker 10: You know, it's true.
• 52:52
  Speaker 18: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
• 52:55
  Speaker 18: to think about what matters most when it comes to
• 52:57
  Speaker 18: our spending, our health care. This is why so many
• 53:00
  Speaker 18: people are joining MediShare right now. MediShare is a trusted
• 53:05
  Speaker 18: way to save up to 50% on your monthly healthcare costs.
• 53:08
