• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Tunk Media Needwork by Joe Thomas.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us do our thing on this
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: ted Stay morning of the day. We celebrate whatever gifts
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: God has given you. Some of us are butchers, some
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: of us are bakers, some of our guitar players. But
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: whatever it is God has gifted you to do, please
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: do it with all the zeal and commitment of somebody
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: who is doing something they would do whether they were
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: being paid for it or not. But do it with
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: such grace and thoroughness that a grateful constituency will reward
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: you for that. And then you don't have to worry
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: about the haters. The hater's going to come.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: They always do.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: There's always somebody out there who doesn't like what you're doing,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: and that's okay because in America you're not supposed to
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: impact them by this. And we've corrupted our system so
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: many ways. We were talking earlier, and I have a
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: bunch of email reactions to our coverage of this judge's
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: ruling regarding funding for NPR and PBS.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: But we.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Get so caught up in what we want, we forget
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: that we're not supposed to get it at the expense
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: of someone else. And that's where all the leftist agendas
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: of free public housing and free healthcare and all the
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: other conceits that they want to put out, they come
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: with a price tag. You want a place to live,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: you want a government apartment. Say goodbye to your privacy rights,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: say goodbye to you know a lot of things that
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: you would think if as soon as you take that
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: handout from the government, because they come in and say
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make it easy for you, you've gone
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: off the end where it's very hard to get back.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: And that's where John, our friend John, who was just
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: on yesterday's show. Last time he was on with us,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: was detailing how many people contribute very little to the
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: tax collections in the country. Fifty percent of the population
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: contributes three tenths of a percent of the of what, oh,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: it's just three percent, Sorry, my mistake, three percent of
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: the tax collections there. Think about that and we'll get
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: back to you in a moment. Federal District court has
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: temporarily blocked a media merger between Nexstar and Tegna, finding
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: that the plaintiff direct TV is likely to succeed on
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: the merits of its anti trust claim. Judge Nunley in
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the Eastern District of California pardon me issued a detailed
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: order granting a temporary restraining order for all property transactions
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: in the merger. President Trump said Tuesday the United States
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: would be done in Iran within a couple of weeks,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: while also highlighting the recent military strikes and leaving open
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the post stability of diplomatic agreements. He said that we're
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: hitting them very hard. Last night, we knocked out tremendous
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: amounts of missile making facilities. He said this after an
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: executive orders signing ceremony, and the executive order he signed
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: did all the things that the Save Act does, but
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: only by executive order, requiring more restrictions on the things
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: that you can use to identify your citizenship in order
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: to vote in America's elections. Pope Leo says that he
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: heard that President Trump wanted to get out of Iran
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: as soon as possible. He said yesterday, Hopefully he's looking
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: for an off ramp. Hopefully he's looking for a way
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: to decrease the amount of violence. Meanwhile, our allies in
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: and Bahrain have all sent private communications to the President
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: encouraging him to make sure the US and Israeli campaign
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: continues until there is true regime change in Iran. Meanwhile,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: NATO continues to turn its back on the administration. Italy
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: has denied permission for US military aircraft to land at
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Signoniella Air Base in Sicily before heading to the Middle East.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Federal judge in Washington said the administration's efforts to cut
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: taxpayer moneies going to NPR and PBS was unconstitutional, finding
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: it retaliation tied to the administration's objections, so he overturned
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: the executive order based on the First Amendment. And those
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: are some of our first things on this Tedsday morning

  Speaker 3: here all along the Talk Median Network.

  Speaker 11: Considered by most. Optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:08
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi'm
• 8:14
  Speaker 11: doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized
• 8:20
  Speaker 11: curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program.
• 8:25
  Speaker 11: It makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation
• 8:29
  Speaker 11: is a key component to our overall health. The Mayo
• 8:33
  Speaker 11: Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has
• 8:38
  Speaker 11: antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer
• 8:44
  Speaker 11: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 8:47
  Speaker 11: many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 8:52
  Speaker 11: cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where we

• 10:21
  Speaker 13: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 10:23
  Speaker 13: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 10:26
  Speaker 13: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 10:29
  Speaker 13: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:33
  Speaker 13: they also perform life saving work every day.
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:37
  Speaker 13: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
• 10:40
  Speaker 13: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.

  Speaker 9: In their blood chemistry.

  Speaker 1: MHM amaze your friends. Here in First Thing Today by
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, and.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: You say stuff that's out of the norm, Mark writes
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: into four three four eight eight two four two one
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: seven are text message hotline, though I love to use Joe,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: what do you mean? HPV is an STD. So we
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: were talking about head neck cancers and our Caring Beyond
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Cancer segment, and I made a point because we've talked
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: about cervical cancer as well, and I've asked and I've
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: been told, and here from No less an authority on
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: things that are sexually transmitted than planned parenthood. Oh yeah,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I had to go. HPV is considered and is put
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: into the category as a sexually transmitted infection. I guess
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: what it's. He goes on to say, I've never heard
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: this anywhere before. If this is true, is anyone looking
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: into how this actually happens. Could there be a cure
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: for cancer and figuring out this well the believe it
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: or not, believe it or not. No, they're not really
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: looking into this because it involves sex. And for a
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: group of people that want you to be able to,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: you know, especially promoted by planned parenthood, a group of
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: people who want you to be able to quote clean
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: up the byproducts of congress. And I can mean that
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: in multiple ways, but I'm particularly using the Chemisutra's definition
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: of congress. So once you've engaged in congress, then you
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: know they want you to be able to order a
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: pill and be able to take care of the biological
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: outcomes of it. But there are other biological outcomes of
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: it that you can't just take a pill the morning
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: after and get rid of. And whether it's you know,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: throat cancer or cervical rectal cancers, that are a sexually
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: transmitted disease, you do them. I'm not going to go
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: there because people is be eating breakfast right now. But yeah,
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: but they won't look into it because it involves sex.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: It involves sex, and it might wind up with somebody
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: saying maybe you shouldn't do that.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: And it's and it's.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Always in that you can't tell me what I can
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: and can't do. I'm I would never presume to. I'm
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: just gonna tell you what's out there, and you make
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: your own choices. But informed consumers are our best customers.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Let me get to you at four three four eight
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: eight two four two one seven on this Tedness Day,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Good morning. Who's this on? First thing this morning with Joe?
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Joe's Joel, Happy TEDD Day.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Happy TEDSD Day to you and Ted and whoever else.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: So what's on your mind?
• 16:49
  Speaker 21: Well, I just wanted to tell you that I moved
• 16:53
  Speaker 21: to Arizona. The past thirteen days, I've been clearing.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: My apartment and well that's awesome.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Is that a Mike drop?
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: No, I mean.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: It's you know, because because I love you, and I
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: don't mean this just for Joel or in any sort
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: of creepy way, But in each and every one of us,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I want us to be able to live our best lives.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: And I think at some point on the air, Joel,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: we talked about your job hunt, and I said, you know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: there are states that need nurses more than others, and
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: unfortunately you were living in one of those states that
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: didn't need a lot of nurses, and that makes it
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: hard to find a job. It also makes it hard
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: to keep a job. There are states, is Arizona. I'm
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: not looking at the list I pulled up back in
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: the day when I said that, But is Arizona one
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: of those places that needs needs nurses a lot?
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: I think they do.
• 17:44
  Speaker 21: But one of the reasons is I have a twin sister,
• 17:47
  Speaker 21: you know, fraternal twin, and she kind of said, hey,
• 17:52
  Speaker 21: why don't you come out here? And there's it's it's
• 17:54
  Speaker 21: because of course, you know, it's drives desert. But I'm
• 17:57
  Speaker 21: actually in uh you know, I hate to say this
• 17:59
  Speaker 21: because missed Charlie Kirk, but I'm actually outside of Phoenix
• 18:03
  Speaker 21: called Surprise, Arizona.
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: And I like the name we have.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I know, where's our affiliate. We have an affiliate right
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: in between Tucson and Phoenix. It's it's a oh gosh,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: he's going to email me, I know because he's listening
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: and I'm looking feverishly for it because I wasn't thinking
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: about it there. But so you might even be able
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: depending on where your domicile is, you know, listen live
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: over the radio again there, Joel. Well, you know, good
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: on you for going and looking for something. Do you
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: feel like that your prospects might be better there?
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: I hope. So I did what I did was I
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: had to clear out. I mean, I gave away. I
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: sold a lot of stuff.
• 18:50
  Speaker 21: I don't have a lot of money I have, you know,
• 18:53
  Speaker 21: but I had enough so I could since I've been
• 18:56
  Speaker 21: off to you know, do some things. And then I
• 18:58
  Speaker 21: have my brother my helping me. But all I ask
• 19:02
  Speaker 21: for the community is, and I know you do too,
• 19:04
  Speaker 21: is just to pray for me, and not that I'm
• 19:07
  Speaker 21: pitiful or anything, but just that things go well and
• 19:10
  Speaker 21: I can be in a different direction.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: But that's all I ask.
• 19:14
  Speaker 21: And I feel good about it, but I'm just kind
• 19:17
  Speaker 21: of a little bit nervous about it. It's brand new
• 19:19
  Speaker 21: and I just arrived yesterday.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: So well. According to.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Registered Nursing dot Org, yes, that's one of those websites
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: I'm going to subscribe for daily updates from. But Registered
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: nursing dot Org says that Arizona is twelfth on the
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: list of states listed from most to least, but the
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: twelfth most in need of nurses, and that's Florida had
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: the lowest. So you were living in the bottom, you know,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: the place that needed nurses the least, and you're now
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: in one of the top fifteenes. So I think your
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: prospects are better there. Otherwise, I mean, you could our
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: friends listening at kfar. They need nurses in Alaska, but
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: it's not nearly as warm there, and otherwise you'd have
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: to subject yourself to a place like California or New Jersey.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: And I've lived and known lots of friends in New
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Jersey and only visited California, And I don't know if
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: it's worth nursing there, but they need them there too.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: But Arizona is definitely better prospects for your particular tenness
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: than Florida was. So good on you. I'm happy for you.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: What else on your mind or is it just getting
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: used to the dry heat?
• 20:44
  Speaker 21: Well, what's on my mind is there's a couple things
• 20:47
  Speaker 21: that we really have to pull together, not just as Republicans,
• 20:51
  Speaker 21: but as Americans. And we have to focus on the
• 20:54
  Speaker 21: energy has to be on the energy of doing well,
• 20:57
  Speaker 21: on treating other people well. And and yes there's money
• 21:02
  Speaker 21: being you know, taken for this war, and there's money
• 21:06
  Speaker 21: being you know, spent on other things that people don't
• 21:09
  Speaker 21: think are important right now, but they are important in
• 21:12
  Speaker 21: order for our country to be strong and and and
• 21:16
  Speaker 21: to be unified. And we're I know, we're approaching the
• 21:19
  Speaker 21: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: But it's more than that. It has to do with
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: our flag.
• 21:24
  Speaker 21: It has to do with our troops and just being good,
• 21:27
  Speaker 21: good governors to our our neighbors and our friends and
• 21:30
  Speaker 21: even to ourselves.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: You know. That's the thing.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: If we want to be self governing, we've got to
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: get back at you know, and get a handle on
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: the reins of being self governing.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: There, Andy just sent me a text, he said, good man.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Uh to you.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: So, you know, people always rooting for each other. And
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: I think that's the case. I think we're all rooting
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: for each other to it.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: And and I know that you know, we all pull together.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: We're like this dysfunctional family here. Every morning looking for bagels.
• 22:02
  Speaker 22: Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
• 22:05
  Speaker 22: with it. That sounds like something to look into, and
• 22:08
  Speaker 22: that is meta Share. Maybe you've heard switching to meta
• 22:11
  Speaker 22: share to pay for healthcare can save many families up
• 22:13
  Speaker 22: to five hundred bucks a month, and that is huge.
• 22:16
  Speaker 22: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
• 22:18
  Speaker 22: after making the switch too. The member's satisfaction rate for
• 22:22
  Speaker 22: meta share is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: Double.
• 22:26
  Speaker 22: Meta share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
• 22:29
  Speaker 22: Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
• 22:32
  Speaker 22: other's bills. People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide
• 22:35
  Speaker 22: PPO network. So yeah, really, you can save a ton
• 22:38
  Speaker 22: and like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're

  Speaker 3: So we pushed back on you didn't build it in
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: the in the I'm sorry, I can't stop it. I can't.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: This is one of those things. It's like the metaphorical
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: car crash. You don't want to look, but you do
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: because you can't help yourself. So Charles, I'm sorry, Charles,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: you've distracted the entire proceedings this morning news item. And
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you're a member of a big
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: box store or you do retail that way. My wife
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: and I are in Sam's Club. Although we debate Costco
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: all the time. Both have upsides downsides. You can buy
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: gold at Costco, I believe there, but I would do
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: it through jcsgold dot Com.
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: And all these.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Phenomenon have some quirk that has them standing out. And
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: for years it was the cheap lunch at Costco. And
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: I think I don't know if the corporate directorate at
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Costco have changed the mind. The one thing you used
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: to be able to go into this Costco club store
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: to do without being a member get cheap lunch. I
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: think you could get cheap pizza and cheap hot dogs.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: If you just needed like a two dollars lunch, you
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: could run in there. And I remember there's a vestige
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: of a memory of inkling that from years ago, a
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: couple of years ago at least, where Costco was at
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: very least thinking of restricting access to their lunch counter
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: to only members. Can you pull that up because this
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: is relevant to that and having if you follow me
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: on social media, Seville Joe Thomas, you know that we
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: engaged in quite a bit of kitch on our way
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: to and from Dallas. We here in our flagship city
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: of Stanton Harrisonburg, Charlottesville, have received our very first BUCkies.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: And you know you want to talk about kitch, But
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: there's an economic point to what I'm going to say
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: about some of these places, and it goes back to
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: one of the points I made about American work ethic
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: and American jobs and how we view our jobs and
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: how we view our employment. So stick a pin in
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: that thought for a second, because this story triggers it Costco.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Somebody thought this was a good idea. Costco is now
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: selling a brand of bourbon. Kid you, not a brand
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: of bourbon based on its dollar fifty hot dogs. It's
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: the bourbon is called I Got That Dog in Me,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: complete with a picture of Costco's famous dollar fifty hot
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: dog and drink combo on the front. The bourbon, not
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: the hot dog, has been aged for eleven years and
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: four months, although I have found hot dogs that look
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: like they may have been aged.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: To eleven years four months.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Would need them. But it's created by a couple of
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: whiskey manufacturers called Rare Character and the Costco Company, and
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: it ate a dollar fifty. Don't go into Costco thinking
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: this dollar fifty hot dog bourbon is a dollar fifty.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: It's eighty six dollars a bottle, which I presume is
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: a what do they generally sell by a fifth? I
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: don't know. That's just it doesn't say. This is one
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: of the things about this story, Charles. This story is
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: very ambiguous as to whether the bourbon tastes like the
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: hot dog or not. Because there are a lot of
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: things I've tried. I love peanut butter. If there's a
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: thing in my life that I am addicted to, it
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: is peanut butter. If you put me in a jar
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: of peanut butter together. Don't count on that jar of
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: peanut butter making it through the engagement. But when somebody
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: told me about the peanut butter whiskey that they make,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: what is it? It looks like a sheep had explosive
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: and an explosive bowel movement on a fence. What's I
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: forget the name of it. And they're not paying for
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: the ad anyway, But there is peanut butter flavored whiskey
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: and it was and we got it just because people
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: know my proclivity for peanut butter. And it's bad. Then,
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: I guess it was two years ago somebody gave us
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: some chocolate flavored liqueur and the peanut butter liquor and
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: they called it a Reese's peanut butter cup and it
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: was bad. I'm sorry. I mean, there are things I
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: don't I don't particularly like the flavor of gin. People.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: My son particularly is a gin efficionado and it's oh,
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: it's yeah, this has got the elderberry and you can
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: taste this is up front and it's got this essence
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: or whatever. It all tastes like windex to me. A
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: good bourbon, a good whiskey. Oh so good cheap stuff.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Not you can taste it, you know, it's it's like,
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, here's a movie should watch if you're a
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: liquor aficionado. Watch mister Roberts. It's an old old movie.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Hank Fonda before he had raised Hanoy Jane, Henry Fonda
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: and Jack Lemon and they're on a ship in World
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: War two and there's a whole scene where the Jack
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Lemon's character is trying to bring whiskey to a date
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: he's going on. But it's a ship, it's a ship
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: of the line, and there's no no whiskey on it,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: so they actually make whiskey. And it's really if you
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: want to get put off of whiskey, watch this scene.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: But I like a good whiskey. I like a good bourbon.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: So I'm not telling anyone any news. And I so
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: I but not no, not peanut butter. I like whiskey.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I like peanut butter, not together. I've never had a
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Costco hot dog, though people tell me they're incredible tasting.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Don't want to taste it as a flavor in a whiskey.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure where we have come off the rail culturally,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: to insist that we have these flavored beverages. Do we
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: need to mix the flavor of a Costco hot dog
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: with bourbon? I mean, why not just have a glass
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: of bourbon with your Costco hot dog? Now that would
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: be a dollar fifty lunch. Okay, So I was just
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: told that some Costco stories will allow you to use
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: the mobile app. But they did. They did restrict access
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: to the dollar fifty hot dogs and the cheap pizza
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: to just Costco members a few years ago. Okay, well,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: thank you for the update on that. But I just
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: there's just some things that are wrong. But anyway, on
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: to the point of the economics of these places we
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: want and we go where we can buy the things
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: we want. Are these jobs that are necessary to do
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: for your community? And I go back to the BUCkies.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: You know, there was a sign outside of the BUCkies
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: in East Tennessee somewhere. It's like, I forget the name
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: of the town, but it was East Tennessee. It was
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: in between Nashville and Virginia, and they had a sandwich
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: board outside talking about work here. Do you know what
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: they pay a store manager to run a Bucki's two
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: hundred and seventy five thousand dollars a year. Do you
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: realize that if you just ran the kitchen, you're making
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: one fifty just to run the kitchen to make sure
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: the jerky and the brisket is cooked and the buns
• 37:54

• 44:20
  Speaker 3: You know, we used to have a phrase back in
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: shop talk radio. Oh we're burning up the phones this morning. Now,
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: what is it about BUCkies?
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Just the guy?
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know the East Coast, West West coast,
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: you know two Pac, you know Biggie, you know I
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: got all that. But this is this is, this is
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: getting insistential about understand a couple of things about business.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: And we're going to do a business treatise on BUCkies
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: here just just because I can. Is that BUCkies as
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: a business says, Okay, we're here along the side of
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: a highway. What do travelers need on the side of
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: the highway? Bathroom, cup of coffee And and yes, there
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: are lots of people who do that. So they blow
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: it up out of proportion and and they they kind
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: of make it, you know that that bigger than life thing.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Who doesn't like jerky? And understand a couple of things
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: about the business model of BUCkies is they're not looking
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: for the truck stop business. This is for the mom
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: and the dad or driving cross country with the kids
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: in the car. And so it's snacks, it's coffee, and
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: it's immaculate bathrooms and and the bathroom is the thing.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, brother and sisters have people in the bathroom
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: cleaning them as you walk away from them. I was
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: in Severeville, Tennessee, which is Dollywood Land, and there was
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: a man, an adult man with a spray bottle who
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: walked up to the urinal as I walked away from
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: it and sprayed it down and cleaned it.
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: So there is.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: You know, And do they pay well? I mean, that
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: guy who was cleaning the urinals as I walked away
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: from him was probably making more money than you and
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: me put together. Unless you're very successful, he's probably making
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: some pretty good money. He was a retiree too. He
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: was an older man, older than I was. They pay
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: really really well. Why because they sell a lot of kitch,
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: a lot of BUCkies branded coffee munks and stuff like that.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: So they make their money doing that. And you know
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: the rest is, as they say, sauce for the goose
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: or the beaver. But you know, I won't hate on
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: BUCkies for the business model. They said clean battle. Let's
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: start with clean bathrooms? And how do how do we
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: establish that? How do we get there? People want clean
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: bathrooms on the highway? How do we get there? See
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: a need fill a need. I mean, is it health food.
• 47:47
  Speaker 8: No, it's not.
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: Don't go there and say, yeah, I'm on the BUCkies
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: diet there. But you know, it's just it's culturally. It's
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: one of those things that you know they're not selling you,
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: you know, jerky flavor whiskey maybe someday, I don't know.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: But the business is see a need, fill a need.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: I know the leftists like to believe, you know, we
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: start our businesses to quote make jobs for people. That's
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: an offshoot of it. And Costco and these other places
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: they do a service. They move products from manufacturers. Everyone
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: hates Sam Walton for creating Walmart. You know what he did.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: He said to manufacturers, I'll buy your stuff and I'll
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: sell it. How much will you give me if I
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: buy it at the bulk, if I buy a pile
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: of it, if I buy all of your tractors. Now
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: there are people who argue that's not fair, that's monopolistic,
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: that kind of thing, But you just got to compete
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: harder on those things. No, tom as, if I've tried
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: the red Redneck River era, No, but I I did
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: talk to the guy who runs John Rich's Bank, which
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: is old Glory Bank. I appreciate that. We gotta get
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: with that guy at old Glory Bank. Joel is back
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: on hanging on the line with us. Joel, I appreciate
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: it functional instead of the other. Okay, Yeah, our function
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: is a little each other.
• 49:27
  Speaker 21: We love you, Joe, and I'm not you know, we
• 49:30
  Speaker 21: don't have to qualify creepy or not.
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: It's not creepy.
• 49:33
  Speaker 21: We love each other because we're Christians and we care
• 49:36
  Speaker 21: about God and Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: That's Holy Week too this week.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, And you know, from somebody who had some
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: fairly substantial changes happened in his life during Holy Week
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, it's a there's an appropriateness
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: to that, uh and uh and a reminder that all
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: the trials and tribulations we face ain't nothing to what
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: was happening, you know, Passover Week back in Jerusalem two
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: hundred and you know, well two thousand odd years ago.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: I guess it was just a little under two thousand
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: years ago. So you know, trouble making rabbis from somewhere,
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: you know, down the road. You know this thing. People
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: forget this too. We were talking about this a little
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: bit over the weekend. I was talking to Father Frank
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: Pavone from a priest for life. But you know, people
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: forget that. You know a lot of people blamed the
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Jews for Christ's crucifixion. It was the Romans. And the
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: reason the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem didn't like Jesus was
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: that he was causing problems for the Romans. So the
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: Roman occupation is the is the source of all of
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: that angst that went in, and it is the source
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: of the corruption. And I'm not saying that the folks
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: that were running the temple in Jerusalem were wrong for it.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: But it's also a reminder that you know, understanding might
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: and right isn't a bad thing. So you can say
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: I'm a peace loving person, but in order to do that,
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: you do at some point have to be ready to
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: defend that right to be peaceful, sometimes without being peaceful.
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: And that's what I think Israel has learned that they
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: weren't doing two thousand years ago. They saw the Roman
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: legions march in and they said, we don't kill and
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: the Romans said, well, great, then line up and do
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: what we tell you to do. And when Jesus said,
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: this is all wrong and started causing trouble. The Romans
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: said to the Jewish leaders, you fix this, and that's
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: how we wind up in you know, at Passover week,
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: you know, two thousand years ago, and you know, a
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: Crucifixion waiting for this trouble making Rabbi from Galilee and.
• 51:57
  Speaker 21: Joe, we're is dust in the wind here, you know,
• 52:02
  Speaker 21: because without Jesus Christ and his hands and his glory
• 52:07
  Speaker 21: and his energy and his love for us, we're just nothing.
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: We're just dust. We're just particles that have mattered.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's right, because it's what we do that matters.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: It makes us, it takes us from matter to matter.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it, my friend. You have a great morning,
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: and I'm so glad for you. We're all happy for you.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Joe, and thanks again as.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Zoey's time, first to roll it up, pack it into
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: its box, make sure it stays fresh for tomorrow morning.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: We gather again here on the Taunt Media Network coming
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: I am Joe. Until then, so long and thanks for
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: all the fish.
• 52:52
  Speaker 14: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:54
  Speaker 14: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an
• 52:58
  Speaker 14: Irvine California based chiropractor with more than thirty years of experience.
• 53:02
  Speaker 14: This compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
• 53:05
  Speaker 14: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:10
  Speaker 14: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:13
  Speaker 14: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
• 53:17
  Speaker 14: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
• 53:21
  Speaker 14: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:25
  Speaker 14: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:28
  Speaker 14: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:31
  Speaker 14: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:34
  Speaker 14: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:37
  Speaker 14: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
• 53:39
  Speaker 14: and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
