- 0:59Speaker 3: You can text message to it, because I know that's
- 1:02Speaker 3: a lot easier as you try to deal with a
- 1:06Speaker 3: plethora of last minute things that have been put off
- 1:09Speaker 3: to well now, if you had only known that this
- 1:13Speaker 3: hour was going to be with the last minute, who knew?
- 1:17Speaker 3: So while you deal with all that, what morning is
- 1:21Speaker 3: both for those who are wrapping up the day and
- 1:24Speaker 3: for those who are just delving into it. Or you
- 1:29Speaker 3: can call and have a conversation. I love those you
- 1:32Speaker 3: know that, But I do my level best to read
- 1:34Speaker 3: your words into the public record, and sometimes it just
- 1:37Speaker 3: sounds like I'm arguing or debating with myself, which it's
- 1:41Speaker 3: a little weird, but it's talk radio and sometimes that's
- 1:45Speaker 3: what we have to do. We suffer for our art

- 1:58Speaker 3: Kareem on the subject we were just talking about last night,
- 2:02Speaker 3: the midnight ride of the FISA Act, midnight ride on
- 2:09Speaker 3: the House Rules Committee authorizing an extension of PISA without
- 2:15Speaker 3: any requirements of warrant which had been forced by Chip Roy,
- 2:23Speaker 3: Ralph Norman, and Morgan Griffith, and now without them in
- 2:27Speaker 3: the room, they said, hey, we could vote right now,
- 2:30Speaker 3: quick before they get back from the men's room. And
- 2:34Speaker 3: so in that midnight ride, pardon me an eighteen month extension.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Kareem rites in how many FISA warrants have been denied
- 2:44Speaker 3: out of the tens of thousands, twelve. Regardless of whether
- 2:49Speaker 3: a process can be corrupted or not, the process is.
- 2:54Speaker 3: The existence of the process is important because you can't
- 2:57Speaker 3: fix something that doesn't exists. So we get into our
- 3:02Speaker 3: first things. Republicans are struggling with the reconciliation lines on FAISA, extensions.
- 3:13Speaker 3: The seven oh two vote in the House Rules Committee
- 3:17Speaker 3: last night, extending it through April twentieth. With several Republicans
- 3:24Speaker 3: missing from the meeting, the vote was cast and the
- 3:28Speaker 3: FISA extension for eighteen months. Mike Johnson told punch Bowl News,
- 3:33Speaker 3: I'm just focused on getting the extension done. It's the details.
- 3:38Speaker 3: It's the details. President Trump says the war as it
- 3:43Speaker 3: were with around the bombardment is very close to Ovary

- 3:57Speaker 3: deal to cease hostilities. United Nations Secretary General Antonio gutierres concurred,
- 4:04Speaker 3: saying it's highly probable that tonks will happen in a
- 4:08Speaker 3: couple of days. Vice President j. D. Vance said Tuesday
- 4:11Speaker 3: there was a lot of mistrust between Washington and Tehran. Really,
- 4:17Speaker 3: he said he did feel very good about where we are.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Speaking of tension, Lebanon and Israel have set across from
- 4:27Speaker 3: one another at a negotiating table for the first time
- 4:31Speaker 3: in many adults lives yesterday as they discuss a deal
- 4:37Speaker 3: that would stop the battles between their country and the
- 4:41Speaker 3: Hezbola militant group hiding inside Lebanon and being funded by
- 4:46Speaker 3: Iran coincidence, federal judge has been ordered by the US
- 4:53Speaker 3: Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to end
- 4:56Speaker 3: his intrusive contempt investigation of the Trump administration for failing
- 5:01Speaker 3: to comply with an order to turn around planes carrying
- 5:04Speaker 3: Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador last year. WHILET Disney Company

- 5:13Speaker 3: their marketing department, Trump administration is intensifying efforts to identify
- 5:19Speaker 3: illegals in the country, and according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessnt,
- 5:24Speaker 3: they are working on the regulations governing banks in the
- 5:28Speaker 3: United States and collection of citizenship information. House Democrats Tuesday
- 5:35Speaker 3: introduced legislation to create a commission that could elevate a
- 5:40Speaker 3: twenty fifth Amendment commission within the House. Jamie Raskin of
- 5:45Speaker 3: Maryland led the charge, saying, of course it's unlikely right now,
- 5:49Speaker 3: but if the Democrats win a majority, then it probably
- 5:54Speaker 3: will come back. And those are some of our first
- 6:00Speaker 3: things on this Ted sde morning here on the Talk

- 10:08Speaker 7: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.

- 10:24Speaker 7: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 10:27Speaker 7: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

- 11:55Speaker 12: first date?
- 11:56Speaker 13: Sure?

- 12:27Speaker 16: Are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 12:29Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 12:30Speaker 16: I'm pretty sober.
- 12:32Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 12:35Speaker 11: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 12:39Speaker 11: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 12:42Speaker 11: or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message

- 12:56Speaker 16: Don't Serve Teens program and the Federal Trade Commission.
- 13:13Speaker 2: On your to do list. Putting the radio on is
- 13:15Speaker 2: the first thing today.
- 13:46Speaker 3: So we'll pivot to this story about the twenty fifth Amendment. Remember,
- 13:51Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi tried this under Trump one. Towards the end
- 13:56Speaker 3: of Trump one, COVID was already starting to gobble up
- 13:59Speaker 3: the news, so you may have missed it under the
- 14:02Speaker 3: safe and effective zeal of Tony take the shot, leave
- 14:05Speaker 3: the canol'ese fauci. But towards the end of Trump one,
- 14:12Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi floated the idea of a twenty fifth Amendment
- 14:15Speaker 3: Commission within the US House of Representatives that could invoke
- 14:21Speaker 3: the twenty fifth Amendment without the vice president and the Cabinet.
- 14:28Speaker 3: So they're back with this, Hakeem Jeffries and Jamie Raskin,
- 14:32Speaker 3: mainly because Jamie Raskin still wakes up hallucinating in a
- 14:37Speaker 3: world where he may actually be president someday. A section
- 14:45Speaker 3: four of the quick Tangent. By the way, the first
- 14:52Speaker 3: ten amendments to the US Constitution are eloquent in their simplicity,
- 15:02Speaker 3: barely a sentence or two long, and worded so eloquently that,
- 15:10Speaker 3: despite the slings and arrows of every thing you can
- 15:14Speaker 3: throw at them phrases like shall not be infringed, just resonating.
- 15:20Speaker 3: So it bears noting that after those first ten we
- 15:25Speaker 3: really started to get some pretty heavy handed, awkward, massive thing.
- 15:32Speaker 3: So the twenty fifth Amendment is a great one for that.
- 15:36Speaker 3: I mean, maybe it's two pages long, double spaced on
- 15:39Speaker 3: eight and a half by eleven. Section four says, just
- 15:44Speaker 3: for the sake of argument, I'm not trying to be
- 15:47Speaker 3: just as dull as the grass growing radio channel on
- 15:51Speaker 3: serious XM, but I'm sure they have one. I just
- 15:55Speaker 3: need this to be part of the public record, because
- 15:57Speaker 3: I don't know if everyone realizes this. Yes, whenever the
- 16:03Speaker 3: Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers
- 16:07Speaker 3: of the Executive Department's Cabinet or of such other body
- 16:14Speaker 3: as Congress may law by law provide transmit to the
- 16:18Speaker 3: President pro Tempore of the Senate and Speaker of the
- 16:22Speaker 3: House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is
- 16:25Speaker 3: unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,
- 16:30Speaker 3: the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties
- 16:34Speaker 3: of the office of as acting president. So it's already there, Jamie.
- 16:43Speaker 3: Take a minute read the Constitution and you know that
- 16:48Speaker 3: it's already there. All you have to do is pass
- 16:52Speaker 3: a thing that says we want to do there's no try.
- 16:57Speaker 3: I feel like Yoda hear Jamie, you want to do it.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Put on your big boy pants or your pull ups
- 17:02Speaker 3: or whatever somebody your agent needs. I'm not saying Jamie
- 17:06Speaker 3: Raskin's old, but Maryland was still considered a Catholic state
- 17:15Speaker 3: when Jamie first went into government. Jamie Lyndon Johnson was
- 17:24Speaker 3: still in the White House when he helped mentor Joe
- 17:29Speaker 3: Biden when he got into the Senate. So Jamie Raskin,
- 17:32Speaker 3: put on your big boy pants. Congress has already given
- 17:35Speaker 3: the authority to do this if they want, so, don't
- 17:40Speaker 3: tell me about how you want to have a twenty
- 17:43Speaker 3: fifth amendment. But there's another subtext to it, and then
- 17:45Speaker 3: I'll get you on the phone. Why push this twenty
- 17:50Speaker 3: fifth amendment stuff if you don't think you're going to
- 17:54Speaker 3: run the table in the midterms, which is what all
- 17:57Speaker 3: the commentaryot says. Oh, that's gonna be a blowout. Democrats
- 18:01Speaker 3: are going to win everywhere. It might be because Jamie's
- 18:05Speaker 3: home state just bailed on the idea of getting rid
- 18:09Speaker 3: of all Republican majority districts, and Jamie's smelling the tea cooking.
- 18:18Speaker 3: But if you are so cock sure that you're going
- 18:21Speaker 3: to win the House and Senate, why worry about the
- 18:26Speaker 3: twenty fifth Amendment. You've got at least four articles of
- 18:30Speaker 3: impeachment sitting in the hopper in Hakim Jeffrey's office waiting
- 18:35Speaker 3: to be filed. Unless you don't believe you're actually going
- 18:40Speaker 3: to win a majority in the midterms, Jamie, just saying
- 18:47Speaker 3: share that with you. I also wanted to get into
- 18:49Speaker 3: this story out of Vero, out of the Treasure Coast,
- 18:52Speaker 3: regarding this guy who is getting his breaking bad on
- 18:58Speaker 3: inside a storage facility and people want to go after
- 19:01Speaker 3: the owner of the storage facility for I guess, permitting
- 19:06Speaker 3: it to happen. But we'll get into that in a second. Here,
- 19:09Speaker 3: good morning, You're on the air with Joe. First thing
- 19:11Speaker 3: this morning. Who's this?
- 19:13Speaker 17: Hey? Hey, this is Moscow Bob Dross with you. Hey, Dress,
- 19:20Speaker 17: what's Soberdeen?
- 19:22Speaker 18: Hey?
- 19:22Speaker 17: Question for you. The reason why they're pushing the twenty
- 19:26Speaker 17: fifth Amendment isn't for the midterm elections. It's because they
- 19:30Speaker 17: have no presidential candidate for the elections come in twenty
- 19:36Speaker 17: twenty eight, and they assume that the Republicans are going
- 19:41Speaker 17: to retain control the presidency, so they're using it for that.
- 19:47Speaker 3: Oh so, because I know that last week one of
- 19:51Speaker 3: these attempts was made under the guys, I think Hakeem
- 19:54Speaker 3: Jeffries said, hey, listen, if you pick Chris Murphy to
- 19:59Speaker 3: be your vice president, will back you on this play
- 20:04Speaker 3: and actual addressing JD Van saying listen, JD. If you
- 20:10Speaker 3: move on President Trump using the twenty fifth Amendment and
- 20:13Speaker 3: promise to pick Chris Murphy, will back you up here
- 20:16Speaker 3: in Congress. And that's important because if the people don't
- 20:23Speaker 3: forget or people don't know necessarily that that's not a
- 20:26Speaker 3: foregone conclusion. So the president can fight back. If Section
- 20:32Speaker 3: four is invoked, the president can send a letter saying
- 20:36Speaker 3: the hell you say, I'm not qualified or I'm unable
- 20:38Speaker 3: to fulfill my office. And then it becomes a Congressional
- 20:44Speaker 3: well hearing would be a stretch for hearing, but Congress
- 20:48Speaker 3: would have to weigh in on it.
- 20:52Speaker 17: And the second point is, I believe this should get
- 20:57Speaker 17: twenty fifth amendments the extent to members of Congress and
- 21:02Speaker 17: the Senate and all federal positions.
- 21:09Speaker 3: Well, there are. And this is interesting because there's a
- 21:11Speaker 3: hodgepodge of recall methodologies in a lot of states. But
- 21:15Speaker 3: some states it's a very high bar. Some states it's
- 21:18Speaker 3: not so high. California, you know, I think you can
- 21:22Speaker 3: recall anyone you want just by saying, hey, I want
- 21:24Speaker 3: to have a recall vote, and they have to do it.
- 21:28Speaker 3: But in Virginia it's a very high bar to try
- 21:30Speaker 3: to get somebody recalled. There from that end of.
- 21:34Speaker 17: It, but the point is, we had someone that had
- 21:40Speaker 17: control of the nuclear weapons under Biden that cognitively should not.
- 21:47Speaker 19: Have been there.
- 21:48Speaker 17: And then it comes to point, okay, say heyo quickly
- 21:54Speaker 17: if he really plunged.
- 21:55Speaker 15: It or not.
- 21:55Speaker 17: The thing is I think that the public should have
- 21:59Speaker 17: the ability no.
- 22:02Speaker 1: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
- 22:04Speaker 1: of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the
- 22:08Speaker 1: advertised herb. Don't let that happen to you, Hi, this

- 23:10Speaker 20: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
- 23:14Speaker 20: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:17Speaker 20: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
- 23:21Speaker 20: That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
- 23:23Speaker 20: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
- 23:26Speaker 20: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
- 23:29Speaker 20: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
- 23:31Speaker 20: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too.
- 23:35Speaker 20: The vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well

- 28:26Speaker 3: sports director. He's got a notebook full of goodies for
- 28:29Speaker 3: us this morning. Happy Wednesday, Mac. How are you doing, sir?
- 28:33Speaker 15: Some of the some of the best sound comes from
- 28:36Speaker 15: you know. I had a when Jim Hobgood who lives
- 28:39Speaker 15: in Richmond, and Jim used to do you know he
- 28:42Speaker 15: did all the games with me at Virginia and he
- 28:45Speaker 15: one day on a road trip, We're having a nice
- 28:48Speaker 15: tea post game and he said one of the he
- 28:51Speaker 15: quoted one of the great things. Well, he goes the
- 28:53Speaker 15: most dangerous people in the world are people are stupid
- 28:56Speaker 15: and who have money. And I said, you know what
- 28:59Speaker 15: I said, you don't know how true that is. All right,
- 29:02Speaker 15: with that preface, let me the Charlotte Hornets won overtime
- 29:06Speaker 15: thriller last night, all right one twenty seven to six
- 29:10Speaker 15: LaMelo ball layup followed by a Miles Bridges block of
- 29:14Speaker 15: a layup at the other end. Ball had thirty and
- 29:18Speaker 15: Tennis siss okay. However, there was a little converty. Forget
- 29:22Speaker 15: the Amazon meltdown in overtime with a minute to play
- 29:26Speaker 15: where their servers crashed, and forget that all right second quarter.
- 29:34Speaker 15: Lamello right in the middle of it second quarter, he
- 29:37Speaker 15: yanked Bam out of Bio's left foot on a rebound.
- 29:40Speaker 15: The heat center fell, he injured his back, and Bam
- 29:43Speaker 15: missed the rest of the game. Now, Eric Spolstra said
- 29:46Speaker 15: the referees missed it and that Lamello, mister Lamello, should
- 29:51Speaker 15: have been tossed.
- 29:52Speaker 25: We had opportunities to win. I just that's a shame.
- 29:55Speaker 25: You know, he should be penalized for that. I don't
- 29:57Speaker 25: think that belongs in the game. You know, tripping, as
- 30:00Speaker 25: you know, shenanigans and you know, Curtis was there. It's
- 30:04Speaker 25: his responsibility to see that. And if it's not his responsibility,
- 30:07Speaker 25: then Zach's got to see it. If you know, somebody
- 30:09Speaker 25: has got to see that, and that you know, he
- 30:12Speaker 25: should have been thrown out of the game, you know
- 30:14Speaker 25: for that.
- 30:14Speaker 15: Yeah, okay, well let's let's dive into the LaMelo ball.
- 30:18Speaker 3: That is a just a domtreat a treat.
- 30:23Speaker 19: Yeah.
- 30:23Speaker 15: Twenty twenty three fan injury lawsuit ran over the foot
- 30:27Speaker 15: of an eleven year old. His lawyer's quote, the kid
- 30:30Speaker 15: is negligent, all right, that's still going on.
- 30:32Speaker 3: Shot last year find thirty.
- 30:34Speaker 15: Five thousand for flipping off a fan and a referee.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Oh my god.
- 30:38Speaker 15: Former LaMelo publicist sued him he failed to pay her.
- 30:41Speaker 15: Oh in the car accident in downtown Charlotte in February
- 30:44Speaker 15: where he had this customized camouflaged Hummer he you know,
- 30:49Speaker 15: and he banged into another car. Of course they got
- 30:52Speaker 15: it on film. Oh and then of course the red
- 30:54Speaker 15: light ticket that he should.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Have had but he didn't.
- 30:56Speaker 15: He committed to u see La at age thirteen, never played.
- 31:00Speaker 15: At fifteen, he was charged with racial slurs at a
- 31:03Speaker 15: pro wrestler. All right, if you go deep into the
- 31:06Speaker 15: ball family, you know that this is you know their
- 31:09Speaker 15: things probably you know they were probably handled standing up
- 31:13Speaker 15: in the kitchen and everybody arguing I'm just guessing. Okay,
- 31:17Speaker 15: So now, after all this and what happened the second quarter,
- 31:21Speaker 15: he pulls his ankle out of Bio gets hurt, spoilster.
- 31:25Speaker 15: This was this was the quick well just part of
- 31:30Speaker 15: the Lamello press conference trying to cover his tis.
- 31:35Speaker 24: Oh, yeah, I apologize on that one. I mean, I
- 31:37Speaker 24: got hit in the head and didn't really know where
- 31:39Speaker 24: I was. But I'm gonna check on him, see if
- 31:42Speaker 24: he's okay and everything.
- 31:44Speaker 18: It kind of looked like on film that you might
- 31:46Speaker 18: have grabbed his leg. I mean, did do you intentionally
- 31:49Speaker 18: grab his leg?
- 31:50Speaker 6: I haven't even seen.
- 31:51Speaker 24: Like I said, I got hit in the head, didn't
- 31:53Speaker 24: even know where I was, but just just playing basketball.
- 31:56Speaker 24: Say sorry, then I'm gonna check on.
- 31:57Speaker 3: A just playing basketball?
- 32:00Speaker 15: Is that not?
- 32:02Speaker 14: Is that not?
- 32:03Speaker 2: Is that not?
- 32:04Speaker 3: The greatest I must say? In the head, I didn't know.
- 32:07Speaker 15: Where I was, so I grab guy his foot and
- 32:09Speaker 15: injured him.
- 32:09Speaker 3: You and I, you and I have been doing this
- 32:12Speaker 3: for a while, and I remember having a conversation about
- 32:16Speaker 3: the Ball family some time ago, and I feel like
- 32:22Speaker 3: you and I sort of predicted that at some point
- 32:25Speaker 3: we would be here with it at least one of
- 32:29Speaker 3: these kids. I'm personally amazed that any of them are
- 32:32Speaker 3: still playing in the association.
- 32:34Speaker 15: But it's yeah, it's just it's just so good. I mean,
- 32:38Speaker 15: it's just it's.
- 32:39Speaker 18: Just LaMelo it it kind of looked like on film
- 32:42Speaker 18: that you might have grabbed his leg. I mean, did
- 32:44Speaker 18: do you intentionally grab his leg?
- 32:46Speaker 24: I haven't even seen, Like I said, I got in
- 32:48Speaker 24: the head, didn't even know where I was just just
- 32:51Speaker 24: playing basketball. Sorry, and I'm gonna check on.
- 32:53Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm gonna check on him. I'm sorry, man, I
- 32:56Speaker 15: wrecked everything. And you guys are you know, you guys
- 32:58Speaker 15: are out. And that's it. So anyway, Charlotte moves on
- 33:03Speaker 15: and uh we find out, you know, in Portland they
- 33:05Speaker 15: escaped and they beat Phoenix one fourteen, win ten. So
- 33:08Speaker 15: get ready for just a terrific uh playoff run for
- 33:13Speaker 15: you know, for every NBA team. Okay, I found some
- 33:15Speaker 15: great audio today which I love you.
- 33:17Speaker 3: And later than that, oh my god, well not no.
- 33:20Speaker 15: I shouldn't. I should have probably saved it for the
- 33:22Speaker 15: end You're right, it's this is more of a warm
- 33:25Speaker 15: up band, but this is pretty good. Kyle Busch drives
- 33:27Speaker 15: the number eight Chevrolet and uh, Jim Pullman is crew
- 33:31Speaker 15: chief and Derrek Neil in the spot.
- 33:33Speaker 26: Uh.
- 33:34Speaker 3: There was a great recording.
- 33:35Speaker 15: On on Instagram that fell on YouTube and I just
- 33:38Speaker 15: had to bring it to the table today because of
- 33:41Speaker 15: the insides of when when when I watched Days of Thunder,
- 33:44Speaker 15: which I love because not only Cruz and Nicole, but
- 33:50Speaker 15: what's his name the actor who just recently died, who
- 33:53Speaker 15: was in the movie, Robert, Robert, thank you? I went
- 33:56Speaker 15: I went blank there.
- 33:57Speaker 14: For a minute.
- 33:58Speaker 15: You know, there was some classic classic scenes with the
- 34:01Speaker 15: vault and uh and Tom Cruise. So when I when
- 34:05Speaker 15: I thought about it, and then this, so this is
- 34:07Speaker 15: real stuff there. Of course, naturally there are some things
- 34:10Speaker 15: bleeped out, but uh, it was really a conversation at
- 34:15Speaker 15: Bristol that that people. That's why you know what I
- 34:18Speaker 15: the first race I ever went to, I saw people
- 34:19Speaker 15: sitting in the stands, not only with the kid with
- 34:22Speaker 15: the Kentucky Fried chicken bucket on his head, uh and
- 34:25Speaker 15: the and the chicken breaze falling down, not only that
- 34:28Speaker 15: who yelled rubbing paint a million times. When I was
- 34:30Speaker 15: that next time, there's the only two words he could utter.
- 34:33Speaker 7: Uh.
- 34:34Speaker 15: That was my first, but my second experience was in
- 34:36Speaker 15: Martinsville with the family. They split the headphones four ways
- 34:42Speaker 15: so they could listen to their favorite driver on a scanner.
- 34:45Speaker 3: Well, this is the this is what you get.
- 34:47Speaker 19: What's the freak of problem?
- 34:48Speaker 2: Now?
- 34:49Speaker 19: Is the thing? Sideway?
- 34:50Speaker 13: The flow?
- 34:51Speaker 19: And what does it look like? Not getting in the corner?
- 34:55Speaker 2: Why I don't get it?
- 34:56Speaker 19: We tighten it up and why corner?
- 35:00Speaker 13: I don't know.
- 35:00Speaker 27: If he gotta headset on auto helmet, I don't, I
- 35:03Speaker 27: don't know.
- 35:03Speaker 19: Listen.
- 35:04Speaker 27: I know you're frustrated.
- 35:05Speaker 19: I don't like running thirtieth either.
- 35:06Speaker 11: But us yelling at each other during the race, is
- 35:09Speaker 11: it gonna help?
- 35:10Speaker 19: Like we got to keep the glue folded together?
- 35:12Speaker 3: Here you Cobby?
- 35:13Speaker 19: Yeah, Cobby, the same every week, the same stuff.
- 35:19Speaker 15: So that was Jim Pulm and the crew, Chieven, Derrick Needland,
- 35:22Speaker 15: the spotters, Derrick Needland's gonna look, we gotta keep things together,
- 35:26Speaker 15: you know. We and Kyle Wish was just kind of
- 35:28Speaker 15: quiet and help things saying yeah, well it's you know,
- 35:31Speaker 15: it's loose and it's you know, we're.
- 35:32Speaker 3: Trying to keep things on the track and it's been
- 35:35Speaker 3: bad for them. I mean, he's another one. Like he's
- 35:39Speaker 3: like Tiger Woods. He comes in a house on fire,
- 35:42Speaker 3: he's winning everything, and they're like, oh, this guy's gonna
- 35:45Speaker 3: have three hundred wins. This guy's gonna make Richard Petty
- 35:48Speaker 3: an afterthought. Yeah, just like Tiger Woods was going to
- 35:52Speaker 3: make Jack Nicholas look like you know, Joe Thomas on
- 35:55Speaker 3: the golf course. He's gonna win everything every year and
- 35:58Speaker 3: it's all and it doesn't work out because guess what,
- 36:01Speaker 3: that's what happens, you know, you know, and it's cars
- 36:06Speaker 3: and it's temperament. And I just think about Joe Gibbs.
- 36:10Speaker 3: I think about Joe Gibbs and the three guys, the
- 36:14Speaker 3: three completely separate and distinct personalities that he managed to
- 36:19Speaker 3: get quarterbacked into a super Bowl victory. And then all
- 36:23Speaker 3: of these people, the Tony Stewart's and the Kyle Bushes
- 36:28Speaker 3: that he's shepherded into NASCAR championships. And I think this
- 36:33Speaker 3: guy if and I know my friend Neil Williamson lent
- 36:37Speaker 3: me his leadership book from back in the I guess
- 36:40Speaker 3: it was in the nineties, he wrote a leadership book.
- 36:43Speaker 3: But if we're not all trying to be Joe Gibbs
- 36:46Speaker 3: in whatever business we're running, we're fooling ourselves because you
- 36:50Speaker 3: look at the meltdowns. You know, even Tony Stewart. So
- 36:54Speaker 3: Tony Stewart basically goes out and gets his buddies to
- 36:57Speaker 3: start their own race team and run like Joe Gibbs
- 37:01Speaker 3: until he gets bored and then leaves. But you know,
- 37:05Speaker 3: at least for a little while he was running it
- 37:07Speaker 3: like Gibbs ran it, you know, empowering people, giving the
- 37:10Speaker 3: those But you know these guys when they get out
- 37:13Speaker 3: from under Joe gibbs wings, where did they go. Doug
- 37:16Speaker 3: Williams talks about running Grambling. He's like, every day I'm
- 37:20Speaker 3: running Grambling and I'm thinking about Joe coach Gibbs.
- 37:23Speaker 15: Right, And if you have a sales meeting today and
- 37:27Speaker 15: you got shut down on Tuesday and your sales manager
- 37:29Speaker 15: was counting on you having the big day and it
- 37:32Speaker 15: didn't happen.
- 37:33Speaker 24: Oh yeah, I apologize on that one. I mean, I
- 37:36Speaker 24: got hit in the head and you know where I was.
- 37:38Speaker 24: But I'm gonna check on see if he's okay in
- 37:41Speaker 24: me too.
- 37:42Speaker 3: Good too, good, Mike D Your answer so jelly.
- 37:45Speaker 15: If I forget, if I forget tomorrow, I just playing ball.
- 37:50Speaker 15: I lost, totally lost.
- 37:51Speaker 24: I hit my head.
- 37:53Speaker 10: Good.
- 37:54Speaker 3: I guess they're brought to you by the Lunchpale Foundation,
- 37:57Speaker 3: where they never say I hit my head and I
- 37:59Speaker 3: didn't know what was going on?
- 38:01Speaker 26: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
- 38:05Speaker 26: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or.
- 38:09Speaker 3: Abolishing the police.
- 38:11Speaker 26: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
- 38:14Speaker 26: police the most, some elected officials would rather create more
- 38:17Speaker 26: chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials

- 44:12Speaker 2: The First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
- 44:15Speaker 2: Joe Thomas.
- 44:16Speaker 18: It's just what the doctor rotter.
- 44:20Speaker 3: This Tendnesday morning our friends that work in the world.
- 44:24Speaker 3: And as I like to say, in between the infusions,
- 44:28Speaker 3: I learned in my cancer journey that there's an awful
- 44:32Speaker 3: lot of folks that you never hear about that are
- 44:36Speaker 3: all part of I don't know. It sounds weird when
- 44:39Speaker 3: you say team, but it is. It's a team of
- 44:42Speaker 3: people who help you focus on the things that the
- 44:45Speaker 3: task at hand of beating the emperor of all maladies
- 44:50Speaker 3: cancer And it sounds like it sounds like to someone
- 44:58Speaker 3: who didn't go through it or hasn't gone through it
- 45:00Speaker 3: as a superficial thing. But trust me. Having lost all
- 45:05Speaker 3: my hair, including my eyelashes and my eyebrows, and my
- 45:12Speaker 3: facial hair, which exposed the fact that I have no
- 45:16Speaker 3: physical chin, which is why I grew the goatee in
- 45:19Speaker 3: the first place, and I still puzzle at the fact
- 45:22Speaker 3: that my ear hair didn't fall out. I want to
- 45:24Speaker 3: know why. But aside from that, I looked rough. I
- 45:28Speaker 3: looked like a stunt double for Ray Fines in the
- 45:32Speaker 3: Harry Potter movies. I looked like Voldemort. And if I
- 45:37Speaker 3: didn't have a loving wife and an attitude where I
- 45:40Speaker 3: sort of said, wow, I look like Voldemort, and I
- 45:42Speaker 3: could have a little fun at my expense. A lot
- 45:44Speaker 3: of people get, you know, in a rough place, when
- 45:48Speaker 3: they lose their hair, when they lose a lot of weight,
- 45:51Speaker 3: and those kind of things, and you need to if
- 45:55Speaker 3: you're looking for places to help out a neighbor who's
- 45:58Speaker 3: going through cancer, help them look and feel better about
- 46:01Speaker 3: themselves if you can do no other greater gift. My
- 46:06Speaker 3: son's girlfriend scarves and hats from an organization called the
- 46:11Speaker 3: Flourish Boutique here in Virginia that helps cancer patients here
- 46:16Speaker 3: at the University of Virginia Hospital. But I think last
- 46:19Speaker 3: time we talked to Kate Elliewood, she was telling us that,
- 46:22Speaker 3: you know, little by little, you know, organizations, nonprofits are
- 46:27Speaker 3: starting up these kind of things all across the nation
- 46:31Speaker 3: and making sure whether it's wigs, scarves, hats, those kind
- 46:37Speaker 3: of things are available to help you, if not replace
- 46:41Speaker 3: the plant things that you lose during your chemotherapy treatment.
- 46:47Speaker 3: Kate is back on the phone with us this morning.
- 46:49Speaker 3: How are you doing this morning, Kate, Happy.
- 46:53Speaker 10: Happy spring. Thank you so much for having me. I'm
- 46:55Speaker 10: happy to be on here again and thank you so
- 46:57Speaker 10: much for highlighting the important work.
- 47:00Speaker 3: And I don't mean to be dismissive about it, because
- 47:03Speaker 3: people will, though if they've never had that happen to them, say, oh,
- 47:07Speaker 3: it's just you know, the important stuff is the chemotherapy
- 47:10Speaker 3: or the radiation, and it's beating the cancer and it's
- 47:12Speaker 3: getting the tumor. And obviously that you're not going to
- 47:16Speaker 3: just try to dress yourself up to feel it. But
- 47:21Speaker 3: a positive outlook is such an important part of a
- 47:25Speaker 3: cancer battle for the patient. I think what you do
- 47:30Speaker 3: to keep their spirits up is so important. Do you
- 47:33Speaker 3: find the same thing I do?
- 47:36Speaker 10: And I think morsa. Recently, I've heard so many patients
- 47:39Speaker 10: say that they get up in the morning, they're already
- 47:43Speaker 10: not feeling good. They're having a tough time looking at
- 47:46Speaker 10: themselves in the mirror just from the physical finde effects
- 47:49Speaker 10: of their appearance right, And so it is important because
- 47:52Speaker 10: they need to go out in the world and feel
- 47:55Speaker 10: good about themselves in order to make it to their
- 47:57Speaker 10: infusion appointment or whatever type of treatment having. So we
- 48:01Speaker 10: can help restore their sense of self and help them
- 48:05Speaker 10: look good, they can feel better and it's really important well.
- 48:08Speaker 3: And also I don't want to sound like Tony Robbins.
- 48:11Speaker 3: I don't have enough teeth for it, but I want
- 48:14Speaker 3: to know how he gets two sets of teeth in
- 48:16Speaker 3: one mouth. But but you know, the power of positive
- 48:19Speaker 3: thinking is such an important tool in medicine in general,
- 48:24Speaker 3: and and I think it helps, you know, the oncologists
- 48:27Speaker 3: and the and the nurses that work in the oncology
- 48:30Speaker 3: department when a patient comes in there skipping and smiling
- 48:34Speaker 3: and saying, let's get at it today rather than it's drudgery,
- 48:38Speaker 3: because like you said, there's there's more more opportunity to
- 48:41Speaker 3: say I can't make it today, or you know, or
- 48:45Speaker 3: even then when the medicines go in, the positive attitude
- 48:48Speaker 3: just seems to turbo charge treatment definitely.
- 48:54Speaker 10: And there's so many side effects that doctors and nurses
- 48:57Speaker 10: have no control over. They you know, they do their
- 49:00Speaker 10: best with medicine. But if this is a side effect,
- 49:02Speaker 10: you know, the hair loss, that there is something that
- 49:04Speaker 10: we can help them feel better and we can treat,
- 49:08Speaker 10: then you know, we're trying to help as many people
- 49:11Speaker 10: as you can feel better about themselves as they're on
- 49:13Speaker 10: this cancer journey.
- 49:15Speaker 3: Now, if anyone's ever met me, they know that I
- 49:17Speaker 3: have fairly long hair. So it was pretty profound when
- 49:20Speaker 3: I started losing and I actually raised a bunch of
- 49:22Speaker 3: money for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society by selling my ponytail
- 49:28Speaker 3: to charity when I cut it off. But do men
- 49:31Speaker 3: come in looking for stuff as well? I made a
- 49:34Speaker 3: very bad choice. I found a Fedora beautiful stets in
- 49:39Speaker 3: Fedora that was just like one my grandfather used to have,
- 49:42Speaker 3: and my wife couldn't stand how I looked in it.
- 49:46Speaker 3: She's like, oh my god, that's so not you, Joe.
- 49:49Speaker 3: But do men come in saying, hey, can are there
- 49:52Speaker 3: things I can do as well? Are there points they
- 49:55Speaker 3: can get?
- 49:56Speaker 10: As long as you felt in that hat?
- 49:58Speaker 24: Right?
- 49:58Speaker 10: I thought you did.
- 50:00Speaker 3: I didn't feel good when my wife made fun of
- 50:02Speaker 3: me in it, But yeah, of course.
- 50:06Speaker 10: I was actually so happy to talk to you day
- 50:08Speaker 10: because I had a patient who is a man, and
- 50:11Speaker 10: he was fitted with a wig recently, and he you know,
- 50:15Speaker 10: we don't see many guys come through here, but it
- 50:17Speaker 10: was his hair was really important to him and we
- 50:21Speaker 10: were able to fit him with a wig.
- 50:22Speaker 26: That he really likes.
- 50:23Speaker 10: So we do have things for that's great men as well.
- 50:27Speaker 10: We have hats we have and we do have wigs
- 50:29Speaker 10: that we can fit them with. In order and look
- 50:31Speaker 10: at catalogs yep.
- 50:33Speaker 3: Now have you ever heard of a patient turning to you,
- 50:36Speaker 3: Kate Elliewood? It's the Flourish boutique here in Charlottesville at
- 50:39Speaker 3: UVA Hospital, And I don't know what the names are
- 50:42Speaker 3: in all the other places that do it. But if
- 50:44Speaker 3: you don't have one in your at your or adjunct
- 50:47Speaker 3: to your cancer facility, talk to someone, pick up the
- 50:50Speaker 3: phone because it's worth it. Have you ever had somebody
- 50:54Speaker 3: come back to you and say, you know, I kind
- 50:55Speaker 3: of like this look. I'm going to keep it now
- 50:57Speaker 3: that I'm done with my treatment.
- 51:00Speaker 10: Yes, a lot more recently it's becoming less of a
- 51:02Speaker 10: stigma to wear the wigs. We're seeing a lot more
- 51:07Speaker 10: patients really kind of embracing it. And you're right, they
- 51:10Speaker 10: are saying, hey, this is actually easier than coloring my
- 51:13Speaker 10: hair after it's coming back, and they do stick with
- 51:15Speaker 10: the wigs.
- 51:16Speaker 3: That's right. I always say, you know, thinking the Shinado
- 51:18Speaker 3: O'Connor look is never out of style. I guess completely there,
- 51:23Speaker 3: but it is such good work you do. How do
- 51:25Speaker 3: people help you out or contact you? Because I don't
- 51:29Speaker 3: know are you? Are you? I know that your store,
- 51:32Speaker 3: your your outlet is in the UVA cancer center. But
- 51:37Speaker 3: do they contact you through the cancer center or do
- 51:39Speaker 3: you have a direct line.
- 51:42Speaker 10: I think the easiest way is for we have the
- 51:45Speaker 10: website www dot UVA health dot com slash support, slash cancer,
- 51:52Speaker 10: and that will pull up all of the cancer support
- 51:54Speaker 10: services that we offer, and Flourish is on there as well,
- 51:58Speaker 10: so you can contact.
- 51:59Speaker 23: Us on that.
- 52:00Speaker 3: And I mean this, if you're listening to us, I
- 52:02Speaker 3: don't care if it's Colorado Springs or techs Arcana. If
- 52:07Speaker 3: your cancer center doesn't have a place that does this,
- 52:11Speaker 3: you just talk to talk to some people. Find out.
- 52:13Speaker 3: Maybe the United Way wants to help you start one up,
- 52:16Speaker 3: or the local rotary or somebody you know get one
- 52:19Speaker 3: started because it does such good stuff. Kate, It's so
- 52:23Speaker 3: good to catch up with you. That's a great story
- 52:25Speaker 3: because I was going to ask you about men and wigs,
- 52:28Speaker 3: so you got there ahead.
- 52:29Speaker 10: I was so happy to report that to you. Yes,
- 52:31Speaker 10: more men are coming through.
- 52:33Speaker 3: I love it.
- 52:33Speaker 10: Time changing.
- 52:34Speaker 3: I'd like the Howard.
- 52:37Speaker 14: All.

- 52:44Speaker 3: or we have the Howard Stern curly long haired look
- 52:47Speaker 3: for your wigs this morning. You know it's true. Difficult
- 52:52Speaker 3: times have a way of focusing us.
- 52:55Speaker 28: We have to think about what matters most when it
- 52:57Speaker 28: comes to our spending our healthcare. This is why so
