0:39
Speaker 7: I want to be so.
0:41
Speaker 6: I was old enough to know. You know this is live,
0:44
Speaker 6: This isn't memory X. As we begin our second time
0:49
Speaker 6: around the clock for this Thanksgiving twenty twenty five and
0:54
Speaker 6: the crazy issue that fuddles how somebody who was an
1:03
Speaker 6: asset for the CIA goes and shoots. Hold on a
1:08
Speaker 6: second here, this is starting to sound familiar. Was this
1:10
Speaker 6: that the Dallas Book Depository. So the story of the
1:17
Speaker 6: two National Guards troops and first and foremost pre eminently
1:20
Speaker 6: on this Thanksgiving, say a prayer for their recovery, for
1:24
Speaker 6: their doctors, for their families, for their strength as they
1:27
Speaker 6: are in critical condition after the shooting yesterday in Washington,
1:32
Speaker 6: d C. This fellow, the Afghan national who we spirited
1:39
Speaker 6: out after we screwed up the abandonment of the country.
1:45
Speaker 6: Joe Biden could say he did this is more collateral
1:51
Speaker 6: from that mess. Who knows what he was promised by
1:54
Speaker 6: his CIA handlers that didn't come through. Beware of narratives
2:00
Speaker 6: that will metastasize and can see at least slock in
2:03
Speaker 6: now with a Instagram video TikTok feed so talking about
2:09
Speaker 6: you know how we well this poor man he thought
2:12
Speaker 6: it is his home city of Washington was being turned
2:15
Speaker 6: into Candahar because there were troops on the streets and
2:19
Speaker 6: all these other things that are going to be told you.
2:21
Speaker 6: Plus as you gather for Thanksgiving, I'm warning you now
2:25
Speaker 6: this will come up. I know everyone's promised, every email string,
2:31
Speaker 6: every group chat about Thanksgiving and the holiday dinner, we're
2:36
Speaker 6: not going to talk about you. This story is going
2:38
Speaker 6: to come up, and it's going to be about see
2:42
Speaker 6: what happens when you put the National Guard and civilian
2:48
Speaker 6: and it's like the reporter from MS now doing his
2:54
Speaker 6: best il han Omar. Some people did some things.
2:57
Speaker 8: You don't know, people walking around with uniforms in an
3:03
Speaker 8: American city. There are some Americans that might object to that.
3:07
Speaker 8: And so apparently this shooting has.
3:09
Speaker 6: Happened apparently because people don't like uniforms in their cities,
3:15
Speaker 6: because whatever, because it makes us feel bad, makes us
3:19
Speaker 6: feel like we shouldn't steal something or hit someone or
3:23
Speaker 6: be bad to someone. There might be a police officer.
3:27
Speaker 6: And you know, when I was a kid in New
3:29
Speaker 6: York City, police department had something called the police Auxiliary.
3:35
Speaker 6: You weren't police officers, but you wore a uniform and
3:38
Speaker 6: you drove in a car that looked like a police car.
3:41
Speaker 6: And I ran into a friend of mine who served
3:45
Speaker 6: on the police department because yeah, you know what. We
3:46
Speaker 6: used to call them targets because they would be deployed
3:51
Speaker 6: somewhere and they're like, oh, look the police are down
3:53
Speaker 6: there at the corner because they looked like police, but
3:56
Speaker 6: they didn't. Just these excuse making target It's just bad form.
4:02
Speaker 6: But I'm warning you now, your Thanksgiving is going to
4:06
Speaker 6: eddie into this. So hopefully what we do here this
4:09
Speaker 6: morning will give you some a toolkit, if you will.
4:15
Speaker 6: So the latest, John Radcliffe CIA director said to Fox
4:19
Speaker 6: News quote, in the wake of the disastrous Biden withdrawal
4:23
Speaker 6: from Afghanistan, the Biden administration justified bringing this alleged shooter
4:28
Speaker 6: to the United States in September of twenty one, due
4:32
Speaker 6: to his prior work with the US government, including the CIA,
4:36
Speaker 6: as a member or of a partner force in Kandahar,
4:40
Speaker 6: which ended shortly following the chaotic evacuation Ramalana Lockinwall, the
4:49
Speaker 6: Afghan national twenty nine years old, who stands accused of
4:53
Speaker 6: shooting these two National Guard members who are in the hospital.
4:57
Speaker 6: I know. Tweets went out yesterday from Governor Morrissey of
5:01
Speaker 6: West Virginia saying that they had been killed. But they
5:03
Speaker 6: have not, but it's very dire as they are in
5:06
Speaker 6: critical condition, according to FBI Director Cash Mattel. Meanwhile, high
5:11
Speaker 6: school vice principal in Norfolk, Virginia is under arrest with
5:16
Speaker 6: his brother for plotting to quote kill police officers and
5:20
Speaker 6: ICE agents. John Bennett and his brother Mark Booth Bennett
5:24
Speaker 6: were overheard having this conversation in a diner in the
5:28
Speaker 6: Norfolk area by law enforcement and then they began investigating them.
5:34
Speaker 6: And when the brother, Mark Bennett, started a trip to
5:38
Speaker 6: Las Vegas after saying, Hey, I know a guy in
5:40
Speaker 6: Las Vegas that can get us the ammunition, arrests were made.
5:44
Speaker 6: The Kempsville High School assistant principal he's been there since
5:48
Speaker 6: two thousand and nine. Georgia judge said, hey, this would
5:52
Speaker 6: be a good time to issue an order dismissing the
5:55
Speaker 6: election interference case against President Donald Trump and his ally.
6:00
Speaker 6: In a one page order released right before everyone went
6:03
Speaker 6: home to get the turkey unfrozen, Sure, Superior Court Judge
6:08
Speaker 6: Scott McAfee dismissed the racketeering case that was front page
6:12
Speaker 6: news when it was brought by Fulton County District Attorney

6:22
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty five have put them on pace to
6:24
Speaker 6: be the number one smartphone brand over Samsung for the
6:28
Speaker 6: first time since twenty and eleven. Attorneys general from several
6:35
Speaker 6: Democrat states in the District of Columbia have filed a
6:38
Speaker 6: lawsuit to stop the administration from enforcing new snap eligibility rules,

12:56
Speaker 6: It's on.
13:08
Speaker 2: A hundred to do list. Putting the radio on is
13:15
Speaker 2: the first thing today.
13:17
Speaker 6: You know, when I first got into radio, I had
13:22
Speaker 6: to abandon a career in fast food restaurants. I used
13:27
Speaker 6: to make it for your your way, And sometimes I
13:31
Speaker 6: look back on that said, it was a really American thing.
13:33
Speaker 6: It was, you know, the red and Yellow clown versus
13:36
Speaker 6: have it your way. It was a really an American
13:39
Speaker 6: battle there, back in the day, back when people actually
13:42
Speaker 6: believed in that stuff. But when I was transitioning into radio,
13:45
Speaker 6: I didn't know anything about radio, but I knew some
13:47
Speaker 6: things about fast food restaurants. So I took a job
13:52
Speaker 6: as a night porter, tearing down all the equipment and
13:56
Speaker 6: mopping the floors and cleaning the bathrooms. For a friend
13:59
Speaker 6: of mine who ran a burger king, and it was
14:01
Speaker 6: middle of the night in a shopping center and it
14:05
Speaker 6: was so post apocalyptic it wasn't even funny. And I
14:09
Speaker 6: remember clinging to the radio. I had a radio, little
14:11
Speaker 6: boom box on the cash counter, and I just I
14:16
Speaker 6: had to listen to the radio because I needed to
14:19
Speaker 6: know there was another human being alive on the planet,
14:22
Speaker 6: and it was so important to me. And I think
14:24
Speaker 6: about that every now and then when Bob in Portland
14:27
Speaker 6: shoots me a text message before we come on the air,
14:29
Speaker 6: and he's on the phone with us in Portland listening
14:33
Speaker 6: to Freedom nine seventy. How are you doing this morning, Bob?
14:35
Speaker 6: Happy Thanksgiving?
14:37
Speaker 4: Oh I'm doing okay, Joe.
14:38
Speaker 18: I don't know if you can hear me, because you're
14:40
Speaker 18: kind of breaking up on my end of things, like
14:41
Speaker 18: you're underwater.
14:43
Speaker 6: No really, okay, let me see if I can fix that.
14:46
Speaker 6: Here is that to do anything a little bit better?
14:51
Speaker 4: I'm one to wish you happy Thanksgiving?
14:53
Speaker 18: And you know I catch your show the last two
14:56
Speaker 18: hours of my shift every morning because I'm still working
14:59
Speaker 18: this time of night. Okay, there we go, not clearer.
15:01
Speaker 6: Now, Yeah, I believe me. Sometimes it's me. I just
15:06
Speaker 6: sound that way sometimes.
15:07
Speaker 18: So, but you know, when people think about people that
15:12
Speaker 18: work on the holidays, of course remember firefighters, the MS,
15:15
Speaker 18: police officers, security officers, which I do now, you know.
15:19
Speaker 4: But also most of.
15:20
Speaker 18: The local radio stations you have, there's someone there as well.
15:24
Speaker 18: Although so many stations are automated these days, I'm not
15:26
Speaker 18: even sure how many stations even have someone behind.
15:29
Speaker 4: The remote anymore.
15:31
Speaker 18: But one of my one of my favorite memories of
15:34
Speaker 18: Thanksgiving is when radio made its face firmly in Maharsey
15:37
Speaker 18: back in those days. This was Lynchburg, Virginia w LBA
15:41
Speaker 18: five ninety. Yeah, I know that it's now dark. It
15:46
Speaker 18: went to a Christian radio station and then it went dark,
15:49
Speaker 18: so it's it's not around. But it went on the
15:51
Speaker 18: air in nineteen twenty one, so it had been around
15:53
Speaker 18: for a long time. And so you had to have
15:57
Speaker 18: someone there back then because remember the Emergent just broadcasts
16:01
Speaker 18: and it wasn't automated like it was today. They would
16:04
Speaker 18: call you, you had to check the code. Then you had
16:06
Speaker 18: to pot up and do the tones and use the
16:09
Speaker 18: decoder to in order to put it on the air.
16:12
Speaker 18: So a lot more streamlined these days. So someone had
16:16
Speaker 18: to be there every hour the station was on, even
16:19
Speaker 18: if they were getting Like our most of our stuff
16:21
Speaker 18: came off of the Stardust network, so there was a
16:23
Speaker 18: whole lot of on air except updating the weather and
16:26
Speaker 18: the news and stuff. And that particular Thanksgiving Day and
16:29
Speaker 18: it was nineteen ninety four. Everyone else in the radio
16:33
Speaker 18: station had family. Since I didn't have anyone, I volunteered
16:36
Speaker 18: to take the entire air show. So from the time
16:38
Speaker 18: we went on the air at six am until midnight,
16:41
Speaker 18: I was there at the station.
16:42
Speaker 4: I was scheduled to work.
16:43
Speaker 6: Good job, Good for you, good good teammate.
16:48
Speaker 18: So, you know, because with AM you have to pot up,
16:52
Speaker 18: you have to bring the radio power up in the morning,
16:54
Speaker 18: and you have to bring it down at night. It's
16:56
Speaker 18: not like the FM that stayed broadcast, you know. And
16:58
Speaker 18: I would call in and I still remember saying WLBA
17:02
Speaker 18: transmitter site, hellol WLBA, and then you'd enter your code
17:06
Speaker 18: and then you also had to take readings every thirty
17:08
Speaker 18: minutes from the transmitter.
17:10
Speaker 4: So all nowadays, all that's been replaced by automation.
17:13
Speaker 18: But back then with the AM stations, everything was done
17:16
Speaker 18: on paper and you had to have an FCC license,
17:19
Speaker 18: which nowadays you don't even need that to be an
17:21
Speaker 18: on air announcer anymore.
17:23
Speaker 19: But so it was.
17:24
Speaker 18: Our radio station was on the second floor of a
17:27
Speaker 18: two story like strip mall, and there was a Chinese
17:29
Speaker 18: restaurant downstairs. I'm like, well, I guess that's where I'm
17:31
Speaker 18: getting my mealed because everything else was closed, and they
17:35
Speaker 18: gave me credit, which was kind of nice because I
17:37
Speaker 18: worked at the station. So about two o'clock in the afternoon,
17:41
Speaker 18: I hear this tapping on the glass doors. We were
17:43
Speaker 18: on the second level and the studio was actually surrounded
17:46
Speaker 18: by glass year in a fishbowl, and so I went
17:49
Speaker 18: to the door and there was this elderly couple there.
17:51
Speaker 18: I'm like, oh, I said, the station is closed today
17:54
Speaker 18: because of Thanksgiving. They're like, are you the DJA that's
17:57
Speaker 18: on the air right now. I'm like, yeah, I've been
17:59
Speaker 18: here since five o'clock this morning. They said, well, we
18:02
Speaker 18: just thought you might, and they have brought me a
18:04
Speaker 18: plate of a turkey dinner with a drumstick, all the
18:07
Speaker 18: trimming stuff.
18:09
Speaker 4: And they had a whole other plate of just desserts.
18:11
Speaker 4: You know.
18:12
Speaker 18: So it's just like in this medium, as you know,
18:14
Speaker 18: you don't often connect with your viewers.
18:16
Speaker 4: I mean, you do.
18:17
Speaker 18: You go to these conventions and things where you get
18:19
Speaker 18: to connect with some of your listeners, but most of
18:21
Speaker 18: the time it's pretty much a one way medium. So
18:24
Speaker 18: you know, that has always stayed with me, you know,
18:26
Speaker 18: because people haven't been on the other side of the mic.
18:29
Speaker 4: They don't know all the stuff that goes on behind
18:30
Speaker 4: that we have to do.
18:31
Speaker 6: You know, well, you know, you tell a good story,
18:33
Speaker 6: and you know, here's one of the things I learned
18:35
Speaker 6: early on in broadcasting. And one of the reasons, like
18:38
Speaker 6: I chronicled earlier in the program. You know, it is
18:42
Speaker 6: a lot of work to put together a recorded show.
18:46
Speaker 6: It's easier really to come in and just do the
18:49
Speaker 6: show live. But one of the things I learned early
18:54
Speaker 6: on is that radio, outside of all the other media,
18:58
Speaker 6: I can guarantee no matter how how many people are
19:01
Speaker 6: tuned in, they're all, for the most part, sitting by themselves.
19:05
Speaker 6: I think the percentage is in excess of ninety nine
19:08
Speaker 6: percent of all people who listen to radio, even online
19:11
Speaker 6: with the smartphones, sound and everything, do it individually. They're
19:15
Speaker 6: by themselves. And I think about myself when I was
19:19
Speaker 6: at that you know, doing the night porter thing and
19:22
Speaker 6: and thinking about just needing to know there was another
19:26
Speaker 6: human being on the planet at that moment. And it's
19:29
Speaker 6: so important to remember that anyone who's listening to the radio,
19:34
Speaker 6: including the fellow who's listening to you and me right
19:36
Speaker 6: now Bob, is sitting by themselves, and it's just it's
19:40
Speaker 6: it's it's just a real affirmation to know that there's
19:44
Speaker 6: you're not alone, and it's you know, it's sweet that
19:48
Speaker 6: that couple did that. I've had a few, you know,
19:50
Speaker 6: listeners who have done that in the past, and and
19:53
Speaker 6: it's it's humbling, I think to me anyway, it is
19:57
Speaker 6: by the way, people are.
19:59
Speaker 18: Like, are you crazy taking food from a total stranger?
20:01
Speaker 18: But we didn't think that way, at least I didn't
20:03
Speaker 18: back then.
20:04
Speaker 6: Yeah. Nowadays, Yeah, it's like Halloween. You know, I'm sorry,
20:07
Speaker 6: here's an apple. I can't take that. It's not wrapped
20:09
Speaker 6: in plastic and sent to me by the Hershey Company.
20:13
Speaker 13: Uh.
20:13
Speaker 6: But last real quick thought, by the way, Uh. I
20:16
Speaker 6: my flagship station in Stanton, Virginia, not far from Lynchburg,
20:20
Speaker 6: we have uh one of our church services. As a
20:24
Speaker 6: fellow who used to do it for w L. V
20:26
Speaker 6: A uh and uh and uh. You know came to
20:30
Speaker 6: us and said, would you would you carry my telephone
20:33
Speaker 6: church services on Sunday mornings And I said, sure, absolutely.
20:37
Speaker 6: I think there's there's something special about being able to
20:40
Speaker 6: tune into the radio and still you know, hear the
20:42
Speaker 6: good news on a Sunday morning. So you know LVA story.
20:46
Speaker 4: We used them back then. We used the Marty unit on.
20:49
Speaker 18: The broadcast from the church absolutely, and the Virginia Tech
20:52
Speaker 18: Hokie games, which always threw things off because they wouldn't
20:55
Speaker 18: take their breaks when they were supposed to, so you
20:56
Speaker 18: really had to stay closed.
20:57
Speaker 4: By the mic A Tech game.
21:00
Speaker 6: They're better with that now. As a matter of fact,
21:02
Speaker 6: we've got a basketball game tonight because they won last
21:05
Speaker 6: night in the battle for Atlanta's over our friends at
21:08
Speaker 6: Colorado Springs. The Colorado State fell to them. Anyway, sir,

Speaker 5: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
23:14
Speaker 5: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
23:17
Speaker 5: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
23:21
Speaker 5: That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
23:23
Speaker 5: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
23:26
Speaker 5: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
23:29
Speaker 5: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
23:31
Speaker 5: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too.
23:35
Speaker 5: The vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
23:38
Speaker 5: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
23:41
Speaker 5: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
23:44
Speaker 5: your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
23:47
Speaker 5: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
23:50
Speaker 5: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
23:53

28:20
Speaker 2: by Joe Thomas.
28:27
Speaker 21: Amazing, No souls.
28:31
Speaker 17: I haven't even been invited, but then again somehown't feeling.
28:38
Speaker 6: So Alicia Witch, I just got Kareem texted in. I've
28:44
Speaker 6: loved her since she was in Sibyl uh and and
28:47
Speaker 6: I never watched Sybil I was. You know, we we
28:50
Speaker 6: talked about this earlier in the program, that I my
28:53
Speaker 6: wife catches me watching Mel Gibson movies, just like, how
28:56
Speaker 6: can you watch a movie with that guy? And you know,
28:58
Speaker 6: and now nowadays it's become even worse. You know, my wife.
29:02
Speaker 6: When I met my wife, if John Cusack was in
29:05
Speaker 6: a movie, we watched that horror flick, that's that psychological
29:09
Speaker 6: horror flick with Morgan Freeman who is at Room fourteen
29:13
Speaker 6: thirteen or whatever it was, just because John Cusack was
29:17
Speaker 6: in it, and you know, don't try to get in
29:20
Speaker 6: or nowadays nowadays you can't force her to watch Serendipity,
29:25
Speaker 6: which is a shame because it was one of her
29:26
Speaker 6: favorite movies. Then John Cusack opened his cake hole and
29:30
Speaker 6: started to talk about politics, and now that's ruined. Just
29:34
Speaker 6: tell stories. Storytelling is the most important part. You want
29:38
Speaker 6: to make a political statement, find a really good way
29:42
Speaker 6: to make it a story, and tell the story the
29:44
Speaker 6: way you know Jim Cavisil tells stories. And that's one
29:51
Speaker 6: that really conflicts my wife because The Passion of the
29:53
Speaker 6: Crisis is a Mel Gibson movie with Jim Cavizil, which
29:56
Speaker 6: I mean we will will watch anything. Jim Cavisil could
29:59
Speaker 6: be re reading the phone Book and we tune in
30:03
Speaker 6: for it. She's coming up in a moment, but thank
30:05
Speaker 6: you for greem for that. She's got a record out it.
30:08
Speaker 6: That's the title cut. I think I'm spending Christmas with
30:12
Speaker 6: you this morning, but I wanted to spend a moment
30:16
Speaker 6: on another story that falls under the category of Oh,
30:21
Speaker 6: by the way, can't imagine why the judge in Georgia
30:25
Speaker 6: thought the Wednesday before Thanksgiving would be the time to announce.
30:31
Speaker 6: And this is so classically what I talk about when
30:34
Speaker 6: I say that I grew up in a world where
30:37
Speaker 6: newspapers were the gold standard of narrative. And you know,
30:43
Speaker 6: the indictment always went banner headline, on the front page,
30:47
Speaker 6: above the fold, the whole thing. The indictment was the thing.
30:50
Speaker 6: The exoneration wound up on page thirty four next to
30:53
Speaker 6: the crossword puzzle. And it wasn't fair because you guilt
31:00
Speaker 6: by indictment. Indictment doesn't say you did it. It just
31:04
Speaker 6: means the district attorney said they want to prosecute you
31:07
Speaker 6: for it. And if there's a point of order in
31:11
Speaker 6: the Trump era, it's that you've got to wait for
31:15
Speaker 6: the full thing. So front page news for what was it,
31:18
Speaker 6: three weeks, four weeks more, the biggest news story was
31:23
Speaker 6: Fanny Willis and the election fraud case. Donald Trump called
31:30
Speaker 6: Governor Camp, you've got to change these votes. Then the
31:33
Speaker 6: fake electors and all the and I'm putting this in
31:36
Speaker 6: air quotes because none of this was stuff that we
31:39
Speaker 6: promlgated here on the program, But good golly, it was everywhere.
31:44
Speaker 6: I felt like I was bailing against the tide just
31:46
Speaker 6: to allow for the realities out there to get out.
31:52
Speaker 6: So when that cousin at Thanksgiving dinner says, oh, where's
31:56
Speaker 6: your red baseball cap there and wants to get small
32:00
Speaker 6: art allogy about it. Bring this up yesterday afternoon. They
32:04
Speaker 6: probably didn't hear it because you know, NPR probably didn't
32:08
Speaker 6: report it. Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee and Georgia dismissed,
32:14
Speaker 6: dismissed completely, and get at it does doesn't you take it?
32:17
Speaker 6: Crumple it up, throw it away. Dismiss the racketeering case
32:23
Speaker 6: that Fanny Willis brought two years ago. That was all
32:26
Speaker 6: the news for months and months and months. And you
32:28
Speaker 6: won't see this anywhere. You know why because they announced
32:33
Speaker 6: it Wednesday afternoon before everyone headed home to make sure
32:36
Speaker 6: that the bird was in the oven. This is so classic.
32:42
Speaker 6: Months and months and months, this was front page news.
32:45
Speaker 6: It was tarring and feathering. Donald Trump, he called Governor Kemp,
32:50
Speaker 6: you need to flip these votes. You need to find
32:53
Speaker 6: votes for me. It was all of it. It was
32:57
Speaker 6: election tampering, it was fake election. There's all of it.
33:06
Speaker 6: Trumple it up, get rid of it. And it's so
33:11
Speaker 6: and we'll talk about it some more on Friday and Monday,
33:14
Speaker 6: probably because by the time Monday gets back around and
33:17
Speaker 6: we start to kind of get back into the normal
33:19
Speaker 6: ritual the folks who are normally here on a Monday morning,
33:22
Speaker 6: you know, they won't know, they won't hear it. That's
33:25
Speaker 6: kind of the whole point of these kind of releases.
33:28
Speaker 6: It's why we do our Saturday morning show as well. Anyway,
33:32
Speaker 6: on this Thanksgiving morning, Alicia Witt, thank you for taking
33:35
Speaker 6: a little time out with us and sharing your new
33:37
Speaker 6: album with us.
33:38
Speaker 25: Thank you, Jo, Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. I'm
33:42
Speaker 25: doing fantastic and home in Nashville for a few days
33:47
Speaker 25: in between my sold out show in Saint Louis and
33:51
Speaker 25: hitting the road for two sold out shows in Orlando
33:54
Speaker 25: this weekend. So it is a whirlwind, and I wouldn't
33:58
Speaker 25: have it any other way.
34:00
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, you know, and people say, gosh, that
34:02
Speaker 6: must be a grind, but there, you know, there are
34:04
Speaker 6: people who look at somebody who welds things for a
34:07
Speaker 6: living and say that must be a grind. But if
34:09
Speaker 6: if it's what drives you, if you can't think of
34:12
Speaker 6: a world where you're not writing songs and you're not
34:14
Speaker 6: trying to connect with people, then then it's probably not
34:18
Speaker 6: a grind to be out on the road and connecting
34:20
Speaker 6: with crowds and seeing, you know, people get excited for
34:24
Speaker 6: especially this time of year.
34:26
Speaker 25: That's absolutely right. You hit the nail on the head too.
34:30
Speaker 25: I always say that the you know, the part that's
34:34
Speaker 25: a grind about it is getting up at four am,
34:38
Speaker 25: getting on a plane or getting in that van and
34:42
Speaker 25: driving to the next spot, loading your stuff in, making
34:46
Speaker 25: sure the hotel is confirmed, like all that stuff. That
34:50
Speaker 25: part is that's a little that's a lot of travel,
34:53
Speaker 25: and it's a lot of things to consider. But the
34:56
Speaker 25: performing and the when I sit down in front of
34:59
Speaker 25: that piano and I'm look out into the audience and
35:02
Speaker 25: share music for an hour and a half, that is
35:04
Speaker 25: not a grind. That is that is my nourishment. It
35:08
Speaker 25: fills me up and gives me the fuel I need
35:11
Speaker 25: to do all the rest of it, and I wouldn't
35:14
Speaker 25: trade it for anything in the world.
35:16
Speaker 6: Well, is it personally, because I know you have this
35:18
Speaker 6: incredible acting career as well, so one crosses the other.
35:25
Speaker 6: Is the musical stuff, like the release that hobby that
35:29
Speaker 6: you know, you know is certainly, you know, obviously much
35:32
Speaker 6: more than making ships in a bottle. I'm not trying
35:34
Speaker 6: to trivialize it, but you know, is that thing you
35:37
Speaker 6: can do to kind of shake the cobwebs off of
35:40
Speaker 6: the grind of going onto a set, you know, and
35:43
Speaker 6: performing television I know a lot of it, but you've
35:46
Speaker 6: worked with some of the most amazing directors in history
35:50
Speaker 6: as well. Is music kind of the escape room.
35:55
Speaker 25: I love acting still and I have not burned out
36:00
Speaker 25: on it. But I would say it because the playing
36:06
Speaker 25: of roles and the performing of songs or writing songs
36:10
Speaker 25: or being in the studio that they're different parts of
36:14
Speaker 25: my brain and my heart that feel equally important, and
36:18
Speaker 25: they challenge me and fuel me in completely different ways.
36:23
Speaker 25: And when I've had years where the focus has primarily
36:26
Speaker 25: been on music and I haven't played that many roles,
36:30
Speaker 25: I start jonesing for that. And the same is true
36:34
Speaker 25: when I have years where I'm primarily focusing on acting roles,
36:38
Speaker 25: I just feel like I'm not fully myself, like a
36:41
Speaker 25: part of me is missing.
36:42
Speaker 6: No, it's important.
36:44
Speaker 25: Like I just finished filming a movie in Toronto. I
36:48
Speaker 25: was there for almost six weeks and it was a
36:53
Speaker 25: very wonderful role that had a lot of challenges in
36:57
Speaker 25: It was a great deal of fun, but also a
36:59
Speaker 25: lot of emotion, a lot of action, lots of stuff,
37:03
Speaker 25: and that I think if I hadn't had the opportunity
37:08
Speaker 25: to film that movie right before the tour, there would
37:12
Speaker 25: be a part of me that didn't feel balanced because

37:58
Speaker 6: Wow, it's a I want to see that?
38:01
Speaker 12: Can you believe?
38:02
Speaker 26: With all the recent violent protests, looting, and destruction, some
38:06
Speaker 26: areas are considering either defunding or abolishing the police. At
38:11
Speaker 26: a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of police
38:14
Speaker 26: the most, some elected officials would rather create more chaos
38:18
Speaker 26: by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials caving

39:07
Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
39:13
Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:18
Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:23
Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:32
Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37
Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:42
Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
Speaker 9: in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

Speaker 1: Hiverybody, and it's always a boy. Growing up on a
41:02
Speaker 1: farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not
41:05
Speaker 1: only in alle of their beauty and kindness, but also
41:07
Speaker 1: their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who
41:10
Speaker 1: gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who work
41:13
Speaker 1: hard to provide for their young, or penguins who travel
41:16
Speaker 1: up to five hundred miles to secure food for their families,
41:19
Speaker 1: or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them to navigate
41:22
Speaker 1: the trees and the wild in search of fruit. This
41:24
Speaker 1: remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
41:28
Speaker 1: We know dogs are wonderful pets at home, but because
41:31
Speaker 1: of their acute senses, they also perform life saving work
41:34
Speaker 1: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
41:37
Speaker 1: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
41:39
Speaker 1: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
41:42
Speaker 1: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
41:45
Speaker 1: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
41:48
Speaker 1: So please join me an American Humane and supporting our
41:51

45:07
Speaker 6: How is your Thanksgiving so far? You're on the high
45:10
Speaker 6: side of it already into the afternoon. No football to
45:13
Speaker 6: watch yet, but you know, I hopefully you've had a
45:16
Speaker 6: good day so far.
45:19
Speaker 19: And I won't I won't pay to game live. I
45:24
Speaker 19: just don't believe in that anymore. Too expensive. Well, it's
45:28
Speaker 19: about three o'clock in the afternoon. I have to get
45:31
Speaker 19: together with an English teacher and her students later this
45:35
Speaker 19: afternoons talk about Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving festep is the tease.
45:40
Speaker 19: We're actually going to have turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy.
45:44
Speaker 6: Nice. Very What are the kids in Moscow school? No,
45:49
Speaker 6: are they getting the woke narrative of colonialism and you know,
45:54
Speaker 6: the white the white invaders, you know, stealing from the
45:57
Speaker 6: Native Americans? Or what are they getting taught? I'm just curious.
46:03
Speaker 19: They're taught actual history, no matter if it's good or
46:09
Speaker 19: bad about Russia, even with Lenin. What they're taught in
46:13
Speaker 19: school is not all good about Lenin's sure dictators. They're
46:21
Speaker 19: taught reality, like what you and I were taught when
46:25
Speaker 19: we were in elementary where we in the middle school
46:28
Speaker 19: when we were in high school in the seventies, and
46:31
Speaker 19: you know, we're taught actual history in the state of Illinois.
46:35
Speaker 19: For me to get out of middle school junior high
46:38
Speaker 19: to go to high school, we had to pass a
46:41
Speaker 19: state constitutional test and a federal constitutional test.
46:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, and they're talking about bringing that back, and the
46:48
Speaker 6: Left is losing their ever loving mind over it.
46:52
Speaker 19: Because they can't do it. So my question is now,
46:55
Speaker 19: with the district attorney, the head Hancho guy in Georgia
47:00
Speaker 19: dismissing all the charges, does that mean Fanny Willis and
47:05
Speaker 19: her boyfriend, kiss my, kiss my Fanny, Fanny's boyfriend are
47:11
Speaker 19: going to be investigated, including all the Communicats that they
47:17
Speaker 19: had in the visits to the Biden administration, right, and
47:20
Speaker 19: who was advising because if what Hadigan or Halligan or
47:27
Speaker 19: whatever her name is with call me and Leticia James
47:30
Speaker 19: if she's so bad for the Democrats and she should
47:33
Speaker 19: be investigated and thrown in jail. And the judge says this, right,
47:37
Speaker 19: I think I think that Trump should bring charges against
47:43
Speaker 19: Fanny Wilson a federal court in this judge's district under
47:47
Speaker 19: her rule, because she's always said President so she has
47:51
Speaker 19: no choice but to find them.
47:53
Speaker 6: Guilty through I love the idea because that's fair.
47:58
Speaker 19: Is fair, No, because then if she if she rules
48:03
Speaker 19: against it, then she can be impeached and put in
48:08
Speaker 19: jail for a sedition against the United States, because that's
48:13
Speaker 19: a treat in the Santa as a federal judge, she
48:17
Speaker 19: knowingly lies on a judgment.
48:21
Speaker 6: That's well put. Yeah. No, it's a very good pom.
48:24
Speaker 6: And we'll have a great lunch with the kids. The
48:26
Speaker 6: Russian kids. Tell them, I said, spasebo uh and uh,
48:31
Speaker 6: and we will talk to you again very soon, my
48:32
Speaker 6: friend yep.
48:34
Speaker 19: And they know more about Columbus than our kids.
48:37
Speaker 6: That's so sad. That's so sad. Well, there you go, uh,
48:40
Speaker 6: past the past the ms. I'll talk to you soon.
48:44
Speaker 13: Ye.
48:44
Speaker 19: Have a happy Thanksgiving you.
48:46
Speaker 6: Too, God bless so Alicia. You were telling us about this,
48:50
Speaker 6: And I love the fact that for years horror was
48:53
Speaker 6: like Sacra sank You couldn't have a horror comedy. You
48:56
Speaker 6: could have rom coms. Uh, you couldn't just have her,
48:59
Speaker 6: you know you. And now you can have action comms
49:02
Speaker 6: thanks to the diehard movies and come out to the coast,
49:06
Speaker 6: you know. So even action movies have to be funny,
49:10
Speaker 6: you know as well, So I guess it's fair skeet
49:13
Speaker 6: ole Rick working with you on this this horror. Who
49:16
Speaker 6: else is in this before we get back to talking
49:19
Speaker 6: about your new album.
49:20
Speaker 25: Some incredible comedians Pete Holmes and Natasha Letchiro are are
49:28
Speaker 25: in it as well. But it's all a cast of
49:32
Speaker 25: folks my age that we have gathered for the funeral
49:37
Speaker 25: of one of our college friends, and we gather after
49:43
Speaker 25: the funeral at this seemingly idyllic log cabin in the woods,
49:49
Speaker 25: and then some of us start tuning up dead yeah,
49:55
Speaker 25: and so it's a bit of a spoof on the
49:58
Speaker 25: Big Chill in a way.
50:01
Speaker 6: Okay, I get it. I see where you're going with that.
50:03
Speaker 4: I like that.
50:05
Speaker 6: I'm gonna have to you have any idea when it
50:07
Speaker 6: comes out or because I want to ask about the
50:09
Speaker 6: tour some more. But I just, uh, you caught my
50:12
Speaker 6: attention with the movie you're shooting, so oh, thank you.
50:17
Speaker 25: No idea yet when it comes out, but I would
50:19
Speaker 25: imagine it will be out next year. We just finished
50:22
Speaker 25: filming a few weeks ago.
50:23
Speaker 6: Probably October. If the theme sounds right for it, if
50:27
Speaker 6: they're if they're playing their cards right, So tell me so, So,
50:30
Speaker 6: how's a girl from Wooster? And I say that just
50:33
Speaker 6: to impress people that I say it correctly. You'll wind
50:36
Speaker 6: up in Nashville, and and you know your musical stuff.
50:42
Speaker 6: Now you've got a Christmas album. How does that all
50:45
Speaker 6: follow a line? Does it follow a line? Or have
50:48
Speaker 6: you not stopped to look back to see what the
50:50
Speaker 6: line looked like now that you've traveled some of it.
50:54
Speaker 25: That's a beautiful question. I In terms of finding my
50:58
Speaker 25: way to this life, it's been a combination of destiny.
51:05
Speaker 25: I believe twists and turns that I couldn't have orchestrated.
51:08
Speaker 25: That happened too randomly to be a conse sence.
51:11
Speaker 6: Though, Like.
51:15
Speaker 25: When I was in my first movie, which was David
51:17
Speaker 25: Lynch's Dune when I was seven. That only came about
51:21
Speaker 25: because I had been on a variety show called That's
51:23
Speaker 25: Incredible when I was five doing a scene REMI and Juliet.
51:27
Speaker 25: And I wasn't a child actor. I didn't have an agent.
51:30
Speaker 25: As you say. We lived in Worcester, Massachusetts, and we
51:33
Speaker 25: didn't know any actors. It wasn't a world where I
51:37
Speaker 25: thought you could get to do such a thing for
51:39
Speaker 25: a living, and it never crossed my mind. A call
51:42
Speaker 25: came out of the blue from the casting director for Dune.
51:46
Speaker 25: She had called That's incredible to see if they had
51:48
Speaker 25: any recommendations for a child actor because she was struggling
51:54
Speaker 25: to cast this role. The character basically needed to say
51:58
Speaker 25: very big adult sentences, seemed like an adult in a
52:01
Speaker 25: child's body, and they recommended me. And I went to
52:05
Speaker 25: New York to audition for the role at the casting
52:08
Speaker 25: director's request, and then she asked me to stay and
52:11
Speaker 25: meet David Lynch. And that's how that happens.
52:15
Speaker 6: Wow.
52:15
Speaker 25: And I knew I had this spider sense from the
52:18
Speaker 25: moment I first arrived on set that I had found
52:21
Speaker 25: what I was going to spend my life doing or
52:23
Speaker 25: part of what I'd spend my life doing. And playing
52:26
Speaker 25: music felt the same. I started taking piano lessons when
52:29
Speaker 25: I was seven and instantly felt like I already knew
52:32
Speaker 25: the piano.
52:34
Speaker 6: That's very cool. Alisia Witt is on with us, about
