- 0:09Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas, Jewort.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Said, steal men have a day at least for work.
- 0:17Speaker 2: When the sun comes up, drops a pet school.
- 0:21Speaker 3: Joe has all the Joss, no wonder.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Joe's an smile.
- 0:29Speaker 4: He only as.
- 0:34Speaker 5: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to you.
- 0:38Speaker 5: A quick note. I want to make this, you know,
- 0:43Speaker 5: because a lot of people don't know this, and one
- 0:45Speaker 5: of the neat things about doing this Trans Siberian Orchestra
- 0:48Speaker 5: hook up with my friends there, and we've done this
- 0:51Speaker 5: frequently in our flagship area. As a matter of fact,
- 0:54Speaker 5: I've been the I've been the presenting station, little old
- 0:57Speaker 5: news talk stations and it's cool and I've known them forever.
- 1:05Speaker 5: But one of the things that they do that you
- 1:07Speaker 5: might not know is if you purchase a ticket from
- 1:11Speaker 5: the band for the show, a dollar from each ticket
- 1:14Speaker 5: sale goes to a local charity. And it's for example,
- 1:20Speaker 5: it's the food Bank in this area. When they play
- 1:23Speaker 5: here in Charlottesville, it's the local food Bank. We've done
- 1:27Speaker 5: it for a toy drive group called Toy Lift, where
- 1:32Speaker 5: they gave a dollar from every ticket sold. So you're
- 1:34Speaker 5: thinking about you know, ten thousand dollars, twenty thousand dollars
- 1:39Speaker 5: raised for local charities, and you get a great Christmas
- 1:43Speaker 5: show as well. Trans dash Siberian dot Org on this
- 1:48Speaker 5: Tuesday morning. So much still to get into. Is this
- 1:52Speaker 5: and this is this is burning and itching and both
- 1:55Speaker 5: my friends in New Jersey and in Virginia. But is
- 1:59Speaker 5: this an endorsement of a gubernatorial candidate? This is from
- 2:05Speaker 5: Air Force one on Sunday.
- 2:08Speaker 6: I think the Republican candidate is very good and I
- 2:10Speaker 6: think she should win because the Democrat candidate is a disaster.
- 2:15Speaker 6: So I haven't been too much involved in Virginia. I
- 2:17Speaker 6: love the state. I did very well in the state.
- 2:19Speaker 5: I own winery.
- 2:21Speaker 7: I think the Republican.
- 2:22Speaker 6: Candidate is excellent, and I think the Democrat candidate is
- 2:25Speaker 6: a disaster. I mean I watched her in the debate.
- 2:28Speaker 6: You couldn't answer the most basic question. And you know,
- 2:31Speaker 6: a big thing with that race, and also the race
- 2:34Speaker 6: in New Jersey is going to be energy. Both of
- 2:36Speaker 6: the Democrats are going to drive the energy prices through
- 2:40Speaker 6: the roof.
- 2:41Speaker 5: So a lot of people here in Virginia are questioning
- 2:44Speaker 5: whether that was actually an endorsement. He didn't mention either name,
- 2:48Speaker 5: and that's fine. It wasn't planning, it wasn't making a speech.
- 2:51Speaker 5: It's not like he was at his winery here in Charlottesville,
- 2:54Speaker 5: which yes they have one. Go look up Trump Winery.
- 2:57Speaker 5: It's amazing, by the way, one of the most beautiful
- 3:01Speaker 5: spots if you ever do visit here. So here's your
- 3:03Speaker 5: travelog if you visit Charlottesville. Aside from trying to hook
- 3:08Speaker 5: up with us, you know, by all means, I've had
- 3:10Speaker 5: people come and visit from far away Seth I think
- 3:16Speaker 5: came up from Tulsa one time. She's like, yeah, we
- 3:18Speaker 5: visited Monticello and then we want to see the radio station. Wow. Okay,
- 3:22Speaker 5: but you know, far more pre eminent than that, obviously, Monticello,
- 3:26Speaker 5: Montpelier there and First Free Coffee bar where you can
- 3:32Speaker 5: get first free in the morning coffee and Charlie's Blend tea.
- 3:36Speaker 5: They've made a special blend of mint and honey tea.
- 3:41Speaker 5: It's called Charlie's Blend. You can get it to take
- 3:44Speaker 5: home at one, one, two seven dot Roasters there. But
- 3:48Speaker 5: also visit Trump Winery. I know they don't want to
- 3:51Speaker 5: talk about it. They're like, stay away from the talk
- 3:53Speaker 5: radio you get enough and the controversies that these you know,
- 3:57Speaker 5: protesters and agitators like to. But I love Trump Winery
- 4:02Speaker 5: and Kerry Willard and the folks who run into a
- 4:05Speaker 5: great job there. Now I sound like the President. They
- 4:08Speaker 5: do a great job. They do a great job.
- 4:10Speaker 7: It's amazing.
- 4:11Speaker 5: I don't know where the grapes come from, but the
- 4:13Speaker 5: aside from the hill, it is really good wine too
- 4:18Speaker 5: there and if you can afford it. The album Marle
- 4:21Speaker 5: House is considered one of the top destination bed and
- 4:25Speaker 5: breakfast in the country, just because that's how the Trump role. Technically,
- 4:31Speaker 5: Eric and Lara run own the winery. Anyway, and our
- 4:35Speaker 5: first things on this Tuesday morning promotional announcements. Aside, federal
- 4:39Speaker 5: prosecutors say they're going to try to get rid of
- 4:42Speaker 5: the lead defense attorney in James Comy's criminal case, saying
- 4:46Speaker 5: that he may actually have a conflict of interest. Patrick
- 4:50Speaker 5: Fitzgerald is possibly one of the co conspirators in the
- 4:54Speaker 5: leaking of the documents from the FBI. Department of Homeland
- 5:01Speaker 5: Security held a first nine month checkup report with Approbo January.
- 5:06Speaker 8: The Department of Homeland Security has arrested over four hundred
- 5:09Speaker 8: and eighty thousand criminal illegal aliens. Seventy percent of those

- 5:38Speaker 5: million dollars a month to keep air traffic controllers from
- 5:41Speaker 5: having to wait until the government partial shut down is
- 5:45Speaker 5: resolved for their back pay, as it is leading to
- 5:48Speaker 5: overwork and concerns regarding how carefully they're watching the aircraft.
- 5:54Speaker 5: Yesterday's worldwide disruption of Amazon Web services, second one in
- 5:59Speaker 5: as many weeks, could carry a financial toll on the country,
- 6:03Speaker 5: reaching into the hundreds of billions of dollars, according to
- 6:07Speaker 5: financial analysts. Amazon said its systems are now back online
- 6:11Speaker 5: after connectivity issues persisted for much of the day, hitting
- 6:16Speaker 5: sites like PayPal and Venmo, as well as other e
- 6:20Speaker 5: commerce sites. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday it
- 6:24Speaker 5: will allow the administration to deploy National Guard troops to Portland,

- 6:33Speaker 5: support ice officers and other law enforcement in those communities.
- 6:38Speaker 5: And Conservative leader in Japan, senay Takaichi, was elected to

- 13:47Speaker 5: dot com. This one comes in on to San Francisco,
- 13:52Speaker 5: writes the email, and it says it's Charles Trump's campaign
- 13:59Speaker 5: to clean up sanctuaries cities and they're real fascist is
- 14:02Speaker 5: like our island hopping campaign in World War Two. I
- 14:06Speaker 5: just hope President Trump doesn't ruin Cavin Newsom San Francisco,
- 14:10Speaker 5: which is justly famous for its main tourist attraction human
- 14:14Speaker 5: waste covering the sidewalks. Actually, you know, Charles, it's getting
- 14:19Speaker 5: better there. They they've actually elected as a Democrat, but
- 14:24Speaker 5: he is a law and order democrat, saying he's going
- 14:27Speaker 5: to put away people who break the law. We've got
- 14:31Speaker 5: Mark Mix hanging on from the National Right to Work Foundation.
- 14:34Speaker 5: But Charlie is called in at four three four eight
- 14:36Speaker 5: eight two four two one seven. Good morning, Charlie, are
- 14:39Speaker 5: on the air. What's going on? Hey Joe, good morning,
- 14:44Speaker 5: Good morning sir. What's up?
- 14:46Speaker 24: I wanted to show you how ill relevant and spineless.
- 14:49Speaker 24: Our two senators are United States senators.
- 14:53Speaker 5: Here in Virginia.
- 14:55Speaker 24: Every state gets an allocation of money yearly for the interstate,
- 15:02Speaker 24: and that money's used to maintain the interstate. What Pennsylvania
- 15:07Speaker 24: does is they call a certain part of the interstate
- 15:11Speaker 24: a turnpipe, and they make Virginians pay to drive on
- 15:16Speaker 24: that turnpipe. I don't understand why our senators doesn't walk
- 15:20Speaker 24: down to their office and say, hey, this has got
- 15:23Speaker 24: to stop.
- 15:24Speaker 5: We don't charge you to ride on Earth, it's.
- 15:28Speaker 24: On our interstate. Why are you charging my people? But
- 15:32Speaker 24: of course show they're not thenner to take care of
- 15:34Speaker 24: their people. They're there to take.
- 15:36Speaker 5: Care of their party, right and their own political aspirations.
- 15:40Speaker 5: Amen to that, brother, although they will.
- 15:43Speaker 24: But wait a minute, they ain't got no political aspirations
- 15:47Speaker 24: because every time they try to get out of Virginia,
- 15:50Speaker 24: the American people tell them.
- 15:52Speaker 5: No, Well, part of part of it. And this is
- 15:54Speaker 5: the peril of you know. And Tim Kane found that
- 15:56Speaker 5: out in a heartbeat. Is you know, you sell out
- 16:00Speaker 5: who you are. And I think authenticity is on the
- 16:03Speaker 5: march politically anyway. Political authenticity is being rewarded by voters
- 16:09Speaker 5: far over the whole you know, I'll sell out and
- 16:12Speaker 5: just you know, pitch whatever Hillary, because Caine was one
- 16:15Speaker 5: of the biggest critics of Hillary click Care when he
- 16:18Speaker 5: was mayor of Richmond, even though he was paid for
- 16:21Speaker 5: by George Soros even back then. Charlie, good stuff, my friend.
- 16:25Speaker 5: Thank you for calling him out on it. God bless God,
- 16:29Speaker 5: bless you, sir. And Mark Mix is president of the
- 16:33Speaker 5: National Right to Work Legal Defense Fund, and he is
- 16:37Speaker 5: a dear friend. We've talked for years and years and
- 16:40Speaker 5: years on various programs that he's helped do their Mark,
- 16:45Speaker 5: welcome back to the program. How are you doing, sir, Joe.
- 16:49Speaker 7: I'm doing fine.
- 16:50Speaker 25: Thanks for the opportunity. It's good to hear your voice,
- 16:52Speaker 25: and it's good to know you're up on the air
- 16:54Speaker 25: down in the Shenandoah Valley of being James Madison University
- 16:57Speaker 25: grad and part of the Yeah, the First Down Chang Gang.
- 17:01Speaker 25: Last year, I just retired from the chain gang at
- 17:03Speaker 25: JMU doing the person billity measurements on the sidelines.
- 17:07Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:07Speaker 25: So yeah, my daughters. I had three kids that went
- 17:11Speaker 25: to JAMU, the last one graduated, so I designed that
- 17:13Speaker 25: it was time for me to retire on that very
- 17:16Speaker 25: difficult responsibility of measuring a ten yard person.
- 17:19Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you would have been busy this past weekend.
- 17:22Speaker 5: I think they just scored again this morning. They just
- 17:25Speaker 5: were ringing it up on old dominion, you know. Here,
- 17:29Speaker 5: I was just curious, how many states, now that we
- 17:32Speaker 5: have a footprint that covers all these cities on this program,
- 17:35Speaker 5: how many states are right to work states? Besides Virginia's
- 17:40Speaker 5: tenuous grasp on being one of the furthest north right
- 17:44Speaker 5: to work states.
- 17:47Speaker 25: Yeah, Joe, there are twenty six states that have right
- 17:50Speaker 25: to work laws, including Virginia. So Virginia and twenty five
- 17:53Speaker 25: others allow workers the individual choice to choose whether or
- 17:57Speaker 25: not they want to financially support a labor unit. It's
- 17:58Speaker 25: real simple stuff. But to your point there, it is
- 18:02Speaker 25: a tenuous position here in Virginia, and we've got about
- 18:04Speaker 25: three weeks to figure all this stuff out.
- 18:06Speaker 5: It looks like, well, when the President says, you know
- 18:09Speaker 5: the and I love my friends in Virginia politics, they're
- 18:13Speaker 5: all freaking out that President Trump didn't technically endorse whin
- 18:17Speaker 5: some earl sears or sitting lieutenant governor as inasmuch as
- 18:22Speaker 5: he called Abigail Spanberg or a disaster but he didn't
- 18:25Speaker 5: call them either out by name, and I don't think
- 18:28Speaker 5: he was prepared to give an endorsement when they came
- 18:31Speaker 5: up to him in the aisles of Air Force One
- 18:33Speaker 5: this weekend. But you know he watched the debate. He
- 18:37Speaker 5: talked about seeing the two of them on stage together,
- 18:40Speaker 5: and really, you know, is enamored with Sears and as
- 18:46Speaker 5: he said, you know, there are so many issues that
- 18:48Speaker 5: are going to get ruined in this state if the
- 18:51Speaker 5: wrong party, you know, gets control again. And we watched
- 18:55Speaker 5: it Mark when Ralph Northam was the Democrat governor and
- 18:59Speaker 5: he had all all Democrat majority in the House and Senate.
- 19:02Speaker 5: Because I will point this out, a lot of Virginia
- 19:05Speaker 5: Republicans quit because they didn't want to be in the
- 19:08Speaker 5: same party as Donald Trump. So po's on their house
- 19:12Speaker 5: for it. And I will say the quiet part out loud.
- 19:14Speaker 5: They did it. They quit because they didn't want to
- 19:16Speaker 5: be in the party of Trump, and so be it.
- 19:19Speaker 5: But the House is up for grabs, so they could
- 19:21Speaker 5: get a majority back in the House and keep the
- 19:23Speaker 5: Governor's mansion, where some five hundred odd bills have been
- 19:28Speaker 5: vetoed in the last four years by Governor Youngkin of
- 19:31Speaker 5: some crazy stuff, Mark, including the end of right to work.
- 19:37Speaker 25: Yeah, the repeal of Virginia's right to work law has
- 19:40Speaker 25: been introduced and it was defeated. But this is different.
- 19:42Speaker 25: Abigail Spaandberger like Terry mcculloff who said on the campaign
- 19:46Speaker 25: trail back in twenty twenty one that if the bill
- 19:49Speaker 25: got to his desk he would sign it. Abagails Bamberger
- 19:52Speaker 25: has already voted twice as a member of the United
- 19:54Speaker 25: States Congress to repeal Virginia's right to work law. And
- 19:57Speaker 25: she's making comments now this has something like, well, it
- 19:59Speaker 25: may need to be changed or need some reform, And Joe,
- 20:02Speaker 25: I don't know what reform means when you need a
- 20:05Speaker 25: pay dues to keep your job or you don't. It's
- 20:07Speaker 25: a binary choice. But you know, politicians come up with
- 20:10Speaker 25: interesting things, and you're right. One of the things that
- 20:13Speaker 25: happened during the Northern administration when they had controlled the
- 20:15Speaker 25: House of Delegates and the State Senate was they basically
- 20:18Speaker 25: allowed union officials to come in and get between tax
- 20:21Speaker 25: payers and politicians when it came to working conditions for
- 20:25Speaker 25: government employees across the Commonwealth. Obviously it was made optional
- 20:28Speaker 25: at that point but one of the things Spanburger wants
- 20:30Speaker 25: to do as well is codify statewide union bargaining for
- 20:34Speaker 25: all government employees in the Commonwealth, let alone repeal Virginia's
- 20:38Speaker 25: Right through work.
- 20:39Speaker 5: And nothing says good times and great oldies more than
- 20:41Speaker 5: a government union because that business is never going to
- 20:45Speaker 5: go out of business. There's no negative pressure on just
- 20:48Speaker 5: asking for more money. There. Mark makes National Right to
- 20:52Speaker 5: Work Legal Defense Fund. Are you guys weighing in on
- 20:56Speaker 5: the race. Do you have a five H one C
- 20:59Speaker 5: four that is getting involved rolling up the sleeves or
- 21:03Speaker 5: are you just working in an advisory role with the
- 21:05Speaker 5: Seers Read and Miaris campaigns.
- 21:10Speaker 25: Well, Joe, we're not working with anybody directly. We have
- 21:13Speaker 25: a five to one C four that's doing issue discussion.
- 21:15Speaker 25: We're making sure Virginians know what the stakes are in
- 21:18Speaker 25: this election.
- 21:19Speaker 5: Okay.
- 21:19Speaker 25: Obviously, Abigail Spanberger's record is clear. As a member of
- 21:23Speaker 25: Congress again, she voted twice to appeal Virginia's Right to
- 21:25Speaker 25: work law and all the right to work laws for
- 21:28Speaker 25: that matter. We're still called the Proact, which was a
- 21:31Speaker 25: bill that had every single kind of thing that union
- 21:33Speaker 25: officials have wanted since nineteen thirties, they didn't get back
- 21:36Speaker 25: then when some series is indicated one hundred percent support
- 21:40Speaker 25: for right to work, she's campaigning on the issue. She's
- 21:43Speaker 25: using it effectively to attract what is an over eighty
- 21:46Speaker 25: percent majority of Virginians who believe it's wrong to force
- 21:49Speaker 25: workers to pay duser fees to get her keep a job.
- 21:51Speaker 25: So we have we have a lot of mail going
- 21:53Speaker 25: out to our supporters and members across the Commonwealth and
- 21:56Speaker 25: a fairly robust campaign to make sure people know where
- 22:00Speaker 25: all the candidates standing right tools.
- 22:01Speaker 26: And Brandt And her name is Sharry I love. She's
- 22:05Speaker 26: a friend of mine whom we were just praying for
- 22:07Speaker 26: because of a surgery. She just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 27: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:12Speaker 27: talk about all the time, which.
- 22:13Speaker 1: Is meta share.
- 22:14Speaker 18: That is right.
- 22:15Speaker 26: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
- 22:18Speaker 26: and health care ability?
- 22:19Speaker 27: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is when
- 22:22Speaker 27: you're already nervous about a health issue which I was,
- 22:25Speaker 27: members shared my expenses, there were zero problems. And let
- 22:28Speaker 27: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
- 22:31Speaker 27: call in with your need that is just refreshing. Yes,
- 22:34Speaker 27: That's what it is.
- 22:35Speaker 26: What I keep telling people. People love meta share and
- 22:38Speaker 26: they love saving money. The typical family can save five
- 22:41Speaker 26: hundred dollars a month.
- 22:43Speaker 27: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
- 22:46Speaker 27: and I mean different in a very very good way.
- 22:49Speaker 26: It is good different Call now. They're easy to talk
- 22:51Speaker 26: to and you can get a price within two minutes.

- 23:07Speaker 28: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:12Speaker 28: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:16Speaker 28: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
- 23:21Speaker 28: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 28: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:31Speaker 28: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:35Speaker 28: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40Speaker 28: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:45Speaker 28: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
- 23:48Speaker 28: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
- 23:53Speaker 28: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

- 28:58Speaker 33: to get to something, I don't even pronounced the city
- 29:01Speaker 33: where she is, but anyway, it was a long day
- 29:04Speaker 33: for her, but she got there safely.
- 29:06Speaker 7: So that's a good thing.
- 29:07Speaker 33: Dave toime to kind of kick back and catch up,
- 29:10Speaker 33: and then you know, late late last night trying to
- 29:12Speaker 33: stay up and watch everything. As of now, there have
- 29:15Speaker 33: been thirteen game sevens okay played in the American League
- 29:20Speaker 33: Championship Series since it shifted to the best of seven format.
- 29:23Speaker 33: By the way he answered that trivia question nineteen eighty
- 29:25Speaker 33: five Kansas City and who else Toronto? The Royals won
- 29:29Speaker 33: in game seven, So there will just because you got
- 29:33Speaker 33: to hear it, you know, from Sports Radio five ninety
- 29:37Speaker 33: in Toronto from Ben Shulman. And if that name sounds familiar, yes,
- 29:42Speaker 33: he is the son of Dan Shulman.
- 29:44Speaker 7: And he got to call a big one last night.
- 29:46Speaker 4: First real storing chance for the Blue Jays since the
- 29:49Speaker 4: first inn at one, Oh, pitch slag.
- 29:52Speaker 18: In the battle?
- 29:53Speaker 3: What Phil to d what ros Arena turns swiger digger?
- 30:03Speaker 3: Three Blue Jays in the bottom of the seven.
- 30:07Speaker 33: Yeah, And then I had to I had to edit
- 30:09Speaker 33: it out because what how did the how did the
- 30:11Speaker 33: analyst handle it?
- 30:13Speaker 7: You've got to be kidding me.
- 30:14Speaker 33: That's you know, that's just great insight with what and
- 30:20Speaker 33: we all.
- 30:20Speaker 5: Have our crutches and I understand bet you know the
- 30:25Speaker 5: is that taught in school for like, how did the
- 30:27Speaker 5: express disbelief?
- 30:29Speaker 7: Brad? Somebody hears it. Somebody hears it.
- 30:31Speaker 33: I go back to the I go back to the
- 30:33Speaker 33: eighties when people and I and I was guilty because
- 30:37Speaker 33: it was Marv Albert saying yes, you know, for jumpers,
- 30:40Speaker 33: and so that became the big play by play call.
- 30:43Speaker 7: I searched them.
- 30:46Speaker 5: How did people find you? Hang on one second, Mac, we've
- 30:50Speaker 5: got a ghost audio coming in here. Give me two
- 30:54Speaker 5: seconds here to fix that up. Sorry about that, Mac,
- 30:57Speaker 5: you were saying, so, you know, so Marv Albert saying it.
- 30:59Speaker 33: Back in the eighty eighty one or whatever, The big
- 31:03Speaker 33: term was yes by Marv Albert, you know. And so
- 31:06Speaker 33: I searched and searched for and it wasn't until the
- 31:09Speaker 33: nineties where I came up with boocket.
- 31:11Speaker 7: That's when the internet hit.
- 31:12Speaker 33: And I heard a guy somewhere out west, you know,
- 31:15Speaker 33: he's calling a jump shot and he went, you know, Johnson,
- 31:17Speaker 33: to the right side book it, and I went, oh, I.
- 31:19Speaker 7: Like that a lot.
- 31:21Speaker 5: So we are derivative if nothing else.
- 31:23Speaker 22: I know.
- 31:23Speaker 33: So all right, Seattle takes the three one leading to
- 31:25Speaker 33: the seventh, and George Springer of course produces the go
- 31:28Speaker 33: ahead three run shot that just flipped the whole thing
- 31:31Speaker 33: and questioning the Mariners manager Wilson, Well, of course this
- 31:38Speaker 33: is going to become a long time thing, and today
- 31:40Speaker 33: it'll be just you know, crazy. Why he went with
- 31:44Speaker 33: reliever Eduard Bizardo in the game to face Springer instead
- 31:48Speaker 33: of Andre's Muno's Well, Bizardo had already surrendered four earned
- 31:52Speaker 33: runs in relief entering play on Monday. He wasn't a
- 31:56Speaker 33: top three reliever for the Mariners, and he looked out
- 31:58Speaker 33: of place going against and then he left the two
- 32:01Speaker 33: seamer right in the heart of a Springer zone. On
- 32:05Speaker 33: top of that, Bizardo through two innings in game six Sunday.
- 32:09Speaker 33: You know, people say, oh is e fatigue?
- 32:11Speaker 4: Now?
- 32:11Speaker 7: I mean, come on, you've got through two innings.
- 32:13Speaker 33: Munos meanwhile hadn't pitched since Friday and later through the
- 32:17Speaker 33: ninth inning for Seattle in the game seven, so that
- 32:20Speaker 33: you know.
- 32:21Speaker 7: But don't you to me?
- 32:24Speaker 33: You walk they you walk Springer in that in that spot,
- 32:28Speaker 33: taking chance with the other guys or I mean, I
- 32:32Speaker 33: don't know if you bitched to him or you make
- 32:34Speaker 33: a switch. But anyway, here's how Wilson handled it in
- 32:37Speaker 33: the post game.
- 32:38Speaker 34: After the walk, hoping to get the ground ball, which
- 32:40Speaker 34: we did, but it just found a hole and then
- 32:42Speaker 34: you know, knew Menez was going to bunt there and
- 32:45Speaker 34: and Bizarto's been the guy that's that's gotten us through
- 32:48Speaker 34: those situations, those tight ones, especially in the pivot role,
- 32:50Speaker 34: and you know that's that's where we were going at
- 32:52Speaker 34: that point.
- 32:53Speaker 9: Did you consider going to Muno's And why did you
- 32:55Speaker 9: like Bizarro better than.
- 32:56Speaker 2: Munos in that situation.
- 32:57Speaker 34: Bizarto's been doing it all season long and has been
- 32:59Speaker 34: so con consistent at it, and he's done such a
- 33:02Speaker 34: good job all year. You know, it felt really comfortable
- 33:05Speaker 34: with him out there, the way he's been throwing the ball,
- 33:07Speaker 34: especially in this series, and you know it was a
- 33:09Speaker 34: good spot for there.
- 33:10Speaker 33: You got a little postseason exchange from Dan Wilson, the
- 33:13Speaker 33: Toronto manager.
- 33:13Speaker 5: Excuse me, excuse you, professor. Yes, so you know, and
- 33:18Speaker 5: I understand having a book, and I have friends from
- 33:20Speaker 5: four h and I understand having the binder that tells
- 33:23Speaker 5: you how to set up a golf tournament or whatever,
- 33:25Speaker 5: and you have the basics and who do you call
- 33:27Speaker 5: and all that stuff, But your eyes open, head on
- 33:31Speaker 5: a swivel man life. You know, it's like these coaches
- 33:34Speaker 5: they script out their first fifty plays and they're down
- 33:37Speaker 5: fourteen to nothing by the time they get through the
- 33:39Speaker 5: first twenty five because they've thrown three picks and fumbled twice.
- 33:44Speaker 5: But they're sticking to that script, and you got it.
- 33:48Speaker 5: I think back to Davey Martinez in the twenty twenty
- 33:52Speaker 5: nineteen World Series when all of a sudden, Patrick Corbin's
- 33:55Speaker 5: coming out of the bullpen, Steven Strasburg's MVP, because I
- 33:58Speaker 5: think he pitched out of the seven games, he pitched
- 34:02Speaker 5: four of them because he came out of the bullpen.
- 34:04Speaker 5: You know, Corbin came out of the bullpen. Is like,
- 34:07Speaker 5: all right, you know our plan was our plan. But
- 34:09Speaker 5: you know what, there's only two games left in the season.
- 34:13Speaker 5: I can't It's like it's like carrying three timeouts into
- 34:15Speaker 5: halftime in an NFL football game, you know, not getting
- 34:18Speaker 5: a back use them.
- 34:20Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, any any culture.
- 34:23Speaker 33: I remember out you know, long time, talking to Al
- 34:26Speaker 33: grow about certain things in about fourth quarter and situations,
- 34:29Speaker 33: and I remember the uh, you know, the the hook
- 34:33Speaker 33: and ladder play that he pulled on Georgia Tech and
- 34:37Speaker 33: you know, scored a touchdown. Georgia Tech was ranked at
- 34:39Speaker 33: the time, and you know, and Gross said it had
- 34:42Speaker 33: been in their playbook all season long, and so they
- 34:44Speaker 33: were it was like game seven, game eight or something
- 34:46Speaker 33: like that.
- 34:46Speaker 7: And he said, you know, it's a feel, it's a
- 34:49Speaker 7: gut feel.
- 34:50Speaker 33: You see things, you go, hey, let's you know, now's
- 34:52Speaker 33: a good time to say they're over pursuing.
- 34:53Speaker 5: So you know you gotta see those.
- 34:56Speaker 7: Yeah, you got you got just different things. And so
- 34:59Speaker 7: and you've got a lot of eight minds on the bench.
- 35:01Speaker 7: And do you do you overrule?
- 35:03Speaker 33: Do you try to talk him into it? You know,
- 35:04Speaker 33: you know that's the great thing. Uh, that's a great
- 35:07Speaker 33: thing about sport. There have been a lot of guys
- 35:09Speaker 33: sitting in a golf poster. You know, I should have
- 35:11Speaker 33: hit seven, God, I should have hit seven there instead
- 35:13Speaker 33: of eight.
- 35:14Speaker 7: And you know I left it short of the green.
- 35:16Speaker 7: It rolled off, you know.
- 35:17Speaker 5: So it's it's just one yeah.
- 35:21Speaker 33: Well, all so, all right, two quick stories before we
- 35:24Speaker 33: go this morning, because I've been following it very closely.
- 35:28Speaker 33: Uh Franklin James Franklin. Now is he is definitely under
- 35:33Speaker 33: Virginia tech radar. Okay, I'm not so sure that with
- 35:37Speaker 33: the connection with Brent pry And, but Franklin might be.
- 35:41Speaker 7: Interested you know, it might be interesting.
- 35:43Speaker 33: It's it's I can say that I'm not just throwing,
- 35:45Speaker 33: you know, something on the wall to see if it sticks.
- 35:47Speaker 33: I think there's a shot that that Franklin would be
- 35:50Speaker 33: I still say that Beamer's the guy, and I'll stand
- 35:54Speaker 33: behind that. But a lot of folks are saying, and
- 35:57Speaker 33: I'll have some reaction for you tomorrow, but a lot
- 35:59Speaker 33: of people are saying, you know, Franklin, this might be,
- 36:01Speaker 33: you know, just perfect for him, but he may not
- 36:04Speaker 33: step on Brent.
- 36:04Speaker 7: See.
- 36:04Speaker 33: He and Brent Priye coached at Vanderbilt. They coached together
- 36:07Speaker 33: at Penn State before Pride went Hockey Land. And so
- 36:11Speaker 33: right now with all the openings and everything, I'm just
- 36:13Speaker 33: not so sure what I think. There are eleven D
- 36:15Speaker 33: one openings now, maybe twelve in the apre'd have to recount,
- 36:19Speaker 33: but that's that's just the way. So and then to
- 36:23Speaker 33: follow up the one story that'll fly under the radar,
- 36:25Speaker 33: that won't get any traction today at all. A Florida
- 36:28Speaker 33: jury yesterday awarded mister Nicholas, yes, Jack Nicholas, fifty million
- 36:33Speaker 33: dollars in a defamation lawsuit against Nicholas Companies. Nicholas Companies
- 36:39Speaker 33: is owned by billionaire banker Howard Milstein, and Nicholas filed
- 36:43Speaker 33: the lawsuit because he claimed the defendant suggested that he
- 36:47Speaker 33: had considered a seven hundred and fifty million dollars deal
- 36:51Speaker 33: to become the face of the Saudi Arabian Finance Live
- 36:55Speaker 33: Golf Tour, and they released the story to media outlets
- 36:58Speaker 33: that Nicholas was going to be the next face you know,
- 37:01Speaker 33: talk about news and you know, releasing. And Nicholas said,
- 37:05Speaker 33: that's not going to happen, and he went into the court.
- 37:07Speaker 33: He went into court longtime, defit fifty million dollars in
- 37:12Speaker 33: the defamation lawsuit. And he had no interest, no interest
- 37:16Speaker 33: whatsoever in the Saudi Golf League.
- 37:18Speaker 7: That story will just fly under the radar, but I
- 37:20Speaker 7: saw it today. So that's why it's.
- 37:22Speaker 5: A reminder of our time. You know, you know, all
- 37:24Speaker 5: these statements in the internet is you know, a festering
- 37:27Speaker 5: pile of this stuff. Is you know, hey, I heard
- 37:30Speaker 5: mac McDonald plays strips on there, you know when he
- 37:34Speaker 5: you know, in inferring endorsements and things like that. Yeah,
- 37:38Speaker 5: and political season. You never mind, Joe Thomas.

- 38:03Speaker 23: It's Mark Falter, hosts of the Financial Fitness Show. I
- 38:05Speaker 23: strongly believe that no one should ever pay one penny
- 38:09Speaker 23: more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for
- 38:14Speaker 23: most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case. Why because
- 38:18Speaker 23: most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway than
- 38:22Speaker 23: trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
- 38:25Speaker 23: My Financial Fitness team has put together some materials that
- 38:28Speaker 23: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
- 38:30Speaker 23: Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
- 38:35Speaker 23: top ten ways to pay less than taxes, and an
- 38:38Speaker 23: investor's guide to taxes.
- 38:40Speaker 5: Now, how do you get it?
- 38:42Speaker 23: Simple? Eight six six seven six four six three five

- 39:04Speaker 19: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas Yes?
- 39:09Speaker 19: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
- 39:14Speaker 19: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 39:19Speaker 19: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 39:23Speaker 19: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 39:28Speaker 19: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 39:33Speaker 19: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 39:36Speaker 19: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 39:40Speaker 19: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 39:43Speaker 19: your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric Oxide,

- 44:21Speaker 5: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
- 44:24Speaker 5: so much. Going on this morning this week, and one
- 44:29Speaker 5: of them is we continue on into what we call
- 44:33Speaker 5: walk season with the Alzheimer's Association and alz dot Org.
- 44:40Speaker 5: Slash Walk is where you can find yours, a bunch
- 44:43Speaker 5: of them down Treasure Coast in November one. I think
- 44:47Speaker 5: also Jacksonville November one. A lot of the places where
- 44:51Speaker 5: you're getting us in the Sunshine State and here in Charlottesville.
- 44:55Speaker 5: It is this Sunday in our flagship city, and I
- 44:58Speaker 5: get the honor of being so to the hype man
- 45:01Speaker 5: for it. I'm going to be the Alzheimer's Association's version
- 45:04Speaker 5: of Flavor Flav trying to keep everyone entertained and informed
- 45:08Speaker 5: up through the opening ceremonies of the walk to end
- 45:11Speaker 5: Alzheimer's here and Matt Laird is the event chair for
- 45:17Speaker 5: that walk, and I want to ask you, Matt, thank
- 45:19Speaker 5: you for taking some time out. I know it was
- 45:21Speaker 5: very busy time with the walk coming up on Sunday morning,
- 45:24Speaker 5: but you've got, you know, being an event chair for
- 45:28Speaker 5: something like this, you have got to get all these
- 45:31Speaker 5: moving parts together. It's like saying to somebody, you're the
- 45:34Speaker 5: event chair for our Super Bowl party and now no
- 45:38Speaker 5: pressure player, So talk about you know how neat it
- 45:42Speaker 5: is to see all these moving parts finally coming together.
- 45:46Speaker 21: Hey well yeah, Jill, thanks for having me. It is
- 45:49Speaker 21: just great to finally get to the day of the walk.
- 45:51Speaker 21: You know what we do on the committee, not only
- 45:53Speaker 21: do we do the event, but we spend the whole
- 45:55Speaker 21: year fundraising and getting companies and teams together to raise funds.
- 45:59Speaker 5: For the cause.
- 46:00Speaker 21: Then, of course, you know we're expecting We already have
- 46:03Speaker 21: seven hundred and eighty three participants registered. We're expecting upwards
- 46:06Speaker 21: of nine hundred. We have twenty sponsors, we have a
- 46:09Speaker 21: fire truck, we have just a whole lot of things
- 46:13Speaker 21: going on up at the hospital in September twenty sixth,
- 46:16Speaker 21: and it is it's like the biggest Super Bowl party
- 46:19Speaker 21: I've ever been to, but it all goes to a
- 46:21Speaker 21: great cause. So it's a lot of hard work, but
- 46:23Speaker 21: we're about to see it pay off well.
- 46:25Speaker 5: And one of the things, and I've never been to
- 46:27Speaker 5: some of the other walks, I've got the chance to
- 46:29Speaker 5: be the keynote speaker at the Great Augusta Walk, But
- 46:34Speaker 5: you know, one of the hallmarks that I've seen is
- 46:37Speaker 5: that it is it's like a tailgate party for a walk.
- 46:41Speaker 5: So you're going to do the walk, and lots of
- 46:43Speaker 5: folks do walks, but it's the event beforehand with the
- 46:47Speaker 5: booths and people to talk to and networking and the
- 46:52Speaker 5: businesses like you said that support the cause because they
- 46:54Speaker 5: see it. Either they work in it like a you know,
- 46:58Speaker 5: a care facility, or they're just a business that gets
- 47:01Speaker 5: it and understands it. Like Edward Jones. I think they're
- 47:06Speaker 5: a nationwide sponsor as well as having some great branches
- 47:09Speaker 5: around here, so you get to network and food and
- 47:14Speaker 5: there's coffee, and there's music and there's it really is.
- 47:17Speaker 5: It's like I've been to some of these tailgate parties
- 47:20Speaker 5: in New England of all places, and New England takes
- 47:24Speaker 5: their tailgate parties seriously, but this is like a football
- 47:27Speaker 5: tailgate party.
- 47:30Speaker 21: Yeah, you know, it really is.
- 47:32Speaker 36: Yeah, like you said, we're gonna have food from Cane's Chicken.
- 47:35Speaker 36: We have a kid zone for the kids to have
- 47:37Speaker 36: some fun. We have all kinds of booths. We also
- 47:39Speaker 36: have researchers there to tell you about what they're doing.
- 47:42Speaker 36: We have the programming folks for people who need support
- 47:46Speaker 36: right now for Alzheimer's and caretaking. And you know, the
- 47:49Speaker 36: walk really only takes about twenty thirty minutes. The rest
- 47:52Speaker 36: of the time, like you said, is a tailgate.
- 47:54Speaker 21: Now what I say, unfortually, unlike football tailgates, we don't
- 47:57Speaker 21: have alcoholic this one. But of course you can come
- 47:59Speaker 21: out to walk and then you can go to a
- 48:01Speaker 21: bar yourself.
- 48:02Speaker 5: It's first thing in the morning, come on, I mean,
- 48:04Speaker 5: you know. But yeah, well there's always coffee there and
- 48:07Speaker 5: it's always but it's a great community time and especially
- 48:10Speaker 5: given the cause and that so many people suffer, you know,
- 48:15Speaker 5: the the yoke of caregiving, suffer in isolation. I think
- 48:22Speaker 5: one of the things that made this such a great
- 48:25Speaker 5: event and has grown into this crazy, uh you know
- 48:28Speaker 5: event fundraiser, is because it's a chance where everyone pardon
- 48:34Speaker 5: the phrase, we are mentioning a bar again, where everyone
- 48:37Speaker 5: knows your name or knows your story. You know, maybe
- 48:40Speaker 5: he doesn't know the specifics, but they know you're going
- 48:43Speaker 5: through something similar to them, and it's a hug and
- 48:46Speaker 5: it's like, hey, I feel you. I understand what you're
- 48:49Speaker 5: going through. And I think there's a there's a gestault
- 48:52Speaker 5: in that that I think comes out in those who
- 48:54Speaker 5: participate in these walks, and especially when I see the
- 48:58Speaker 5: college kids interacting with caregivers who are as old as
- 49:03Speaker 5: their parents or their grandparents, and you see that connection
- 49:07Speaker 5: going on. It's really mystical to me.
- 49:11Speaker 21: Yeah, I agree with you. You know, when someone gets
- 49:14Speaker 21: the diagnosis of Alzheimer's or your family member gets a diagnosis,
- 49:18Speaker 21: people feel completely alone because it is such a large diagnosis.
- 49:24Speaker 21: But you know, the walk lets people know that they're
- 49:27Speaker 21: not alone. Come out to the walk, you see nine
- 49:29Speaker 21: hundred people supporting the same cause, going through the same thing,
- 49:33Speaker 21: and you're reminded that not only is your community with you,
- 49:36Speaker 21: but the association is with you as well.
- 49:39Speaker 5: Well. I'm glad and people can still sign up for
- 49:42Speaker 5: the walk. Is still room for folks. How close are
- 49:45Speaker 5: you to goal?
- 49:48Speaker 21: So we are at sixty one percent to goal for fundraising,
- 49:51Speaker 21: which is about normal. We usually see a lot coming
- 49:54Speaker 21: in the week of the walk and the week after.
- 49:56Speaker 21: But yeah, folks can go to alz dot org slash
- 50:00Speaker 21: Seville Walk sign up and we'd love to see out there.
- 50:03Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate it. Matt Laird is the event here
- 50:06Speaker 5: and I mentioned a lot of our friends and a
- 50:09Speaker 5: lot of other places getting ready for their walks as well,
- 50:13Speaker 5: And we were talking about Florida. It seems like the
- 50:15Speaker 5: warmer weather climbates they go later and later, and I
- 50:21Speaker 5: think this is one of the last ones in the
- 50:23Speaker 5: northern part of the state. I know that our friends
- 50:25Speaker 5: in Georgia think of Virginia as a northeast state, but
- 50:30Speaker 5: we still we like to think of ourselves here as
- 50:32Speaker 5: a southern state. But we're one of the late ones
- 50:35Speaker 5: for there. And then you got early November. But you
- 50:38Speaker 5: can keep fundraising for your walk wherever it's been all
- 50:42Speaker 5: the way through the end of December.
- 50:43Speaker 21: Matt, correct, Yep, fundraising goes all through the end of
- 50:47Speaker 21: the year.
- 50:48Speaker 5: All right, well, I appreciate it, sir, and you have
- 50:50Speaker 5: a great day and we'll see you on Sunday morning.
- 50:54Speaker 7: All r you, sir, Thank you.
- 50:55Speaker 5: Joe, and I misspoke. Our friends down on the Space Coast,
- 50:58Speaker 5: it's this sat there, and then the Treasure Coast is
- 51:03Speaker 5: November first. I didn't want to confuse. Daytona is November one,
- 51:08Speaker 5: Jacksonville is November ninth there, and the Tampa Saint Pete
- 51:14Speaker 5: area is a lot of those have happened already in
- 51:19Speaker 5: that neck of there was November fifteenth in Sarasota, where
- 51:23Speaker 5: you can get to them and be part of it.
- 51:26Speaker 5: There so just ways to help out, ways to help
- 51:31Speaker 5: get yourself to that point where there is a cure
- 51:35Speaker 5: on the way. Joel down there in Naples, November twenty second.
- 51:39Speaker 5: I mean, gosh, we're going to have dress like just
- 51:42Speaker 5: dress like pilgrims and walk for Thanksgiving. But it is
- 51:46Speaker 5: a great opportunity to say thanks and to thank the
- 51:49Speaker 5: folks that are working in this space to help you
- 51:53Speaker 5: get to the day when we have a cure, when
- 51:57Speaker 5: we can say we can beat this thing. And I
- 52:00Speaker 5: know that we talk a lot about medicine and pharmaceuticals
- 52:03Speaker 5: and things like that. Yeah, and finding cures. We talked frequently.
- 52:11Speaker 5: You know, folks say, oh, well, there's no upside in
- 52:14Speaker 5: finding a cure or just you know, maintain I don't
- 52:16Speaker 5: think that's the case. And I've talked to a lot
- 52:18Speaker 5: of these researchers and I feel the same way about cancer.
- 52:21Speaker 5: I feel the same way about you know, liver disease.
- 52:24Speaker 5: I think that there are things that you can do
- 52:27Speaker 5: to cure these things. Sometimes they're old things, they're not
- 52:32Speaker 5: new things. They're old things. Sometimes they're mundane things. We
- 52:38Speaker 5: were just talking about heart health earlier. This month and
- 52:44Speaker 5: is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Sometimes these things you can
- 52:48Speaker 5: do are very mundane.
- 52:52Speaker 15: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 52:55Speaker 15: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:58Speaker 6: It was medicine that came through for us, and there
- 53:00Speaker 6: was no hassles, there was no problem.
- 53:02Speaker 15: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 53:06Speaker 15: of such an incredible ministry.
- 53:08Speaker 20: Meta Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
- 53:11Speaker 20: share each other's medical expenses.
