• 2:41
  Speaker 5: To not being able to get it passed, the Democrats
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: or the Republicans together.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: I would pick Ted Cruz to be the next Supreme
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: Court justice.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: But the president says it's because both Democrats and Republicans
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: believe simply cannot stand Cruz and want him out of

  Speaker 10: Sorry, I got caught up listening to the story about
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: PCP guy.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Which is a strange drug to enjoy. Never understood that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Neither have I.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I've watched decades worth of cops on TV.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And every single time you see somebody who's using that drug,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: what happens is, first of all, they're naked. Second of all,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: they are running through, like, wooden fences in neighborhoods.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Four plus taser wires hanging out of them.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah. It just seems like a bad time.
• 6:03
  Speaker 10: And not to say there's any narcotics. It seemed that,
• 6:07
  Speaker 10: you know, like, Oh yeah, they're all bad ideas. That
• 6:11
  Speaker 10: one seems to just have zero, zero upsides to it whatsoever.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: But, uh, And I guess could have been a lot worse. Well,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: first of all, there was a kid in there, a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: horrible situation.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Sick.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Second of all, you know, hey, you need a little
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: pick-me-up after some PCP.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: How about some crack cocaine? Balance it out with the crack.
• 6:29
  Speaker 10: I did like the discussion of his kind of his
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: thousand-yard stares, disaffected gaze or whatever it was called. Because
• 6:38
  Speaker 10: what it reminded me of is the Gen Z Stare.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: The Gen Z, what is this?
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Are you familiar with it?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So I read about it over the days, but I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 6:47
  Speaker 10: There's a new story about this. I've been aware of
• 6:51
  Speaker 10: the Gen Z Stare for quite some time. So let
• 6:54
  Speaker 10: me ask you this. If anyone wants to help Will
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: out on this and share stories of when you have
• 6:59
  Speaker 10: encountered the Gen Z Stare, please text us, call us, whatever, 979-695-1620.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: The Gen Z.
• 7:06
  Speaker 10: Stare is if you're, let's say you're going to a
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: coffee store, like a Starbucks or something, and there's a
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: Gen Z kid behind the desk, and you're talking to them,
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: and they're just giving you this, have you ever encountered,
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: they're just kind of giving you this blank stare, like
• 7:22
  Speaker 10: there's no emotion on.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Their face, it's like there's no lights on?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've encountered kids like that.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that is, that is.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't know there was a thing. Most of those
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: kids I look at, and I ask them, you know, politely.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with you?
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah. What did they say? I don't know.
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: Frequently you'll get the stare and then they won't say anything,
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: which is the, which is the other side of this.
• 7:46
  Speaker 10: It's like, they don't, they don't speak as says they
• 7:48
  Speaker 10: just stare. And then they just kind of go on
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: about their business and people find it, find it off putting.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I would find it off putting.
• 7:58
  Speaker 10: So the reason this is coming back into discussion is
• 8:02
  Speaker 10: because there are articles of workplace debate. over whether or not,
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: you know, that's a career limiting move and you should
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: stop doing that.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Well, Gen Z or.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Their kids working at a coffee shop. There's two types
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of kids working right in jobs like that. Kids who
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: are developing their work ethic, who are, you know, who
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: will be more than that.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And then there's kids where that's their peak.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: They might move from.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Coffee to pizza or whatever.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: At least they're doing something.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: They're doing something, but a lot of those kids don't
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: want to be doing anything.
• 8:38
  Speaker 10: Now, keep in mind, Gen Z goes all the way
• 8:40
  Speaker 10: up to almost 30 years old now, so you have
• 8:41
  Speaker 10: people in office offices that still do the Gen Z stare,
• 8:45
  Speaker 10: like people that you'll talk to.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: I haven't encountered it in this office, although we have
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: some Gen Zs.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's people that look at us funny.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I've run into it a lot. Now, Gen Z.
• 8:57
  Speaker 10: There are people defending the youth on this, saying that
• 9:03
  Speaker 10: this is a rejection of what they call performative happiness.
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: Like basically having to fix your face because, you know.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: No, I'm sorry. That's a life skill. Performative happiness. And
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: you shouldn't have to do what they say. No, you should.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: If you want to succeed....
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: This is what I mean about the career limiting move.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I actually, I believe it's absolutely sure it is.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: You have to, I don't know how to tell this
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: to kids.
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: You have to fix your face because even in a
• 9:36
  Speaker 10: job that you love, you, you have to be self-aware
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: enough to know.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: We used to call it RBF.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:44
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: And some of us are prone to it. You have
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: to be aware of that. And then you have to soften.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: You have to soften. Because it's it's a lot it's
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: a lot and people don't want to be people don't
• 10:00
  Speaker 10: want to be brought down by every jobs are hard
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: enough man it's hard for everyone hard to be at
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: work real hard like to be anywhere other than work
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: most of the time i get that but uh you
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: still can't you can't.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Get there are certain people that the uncertain times around
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: 2020 That those masks were a benefit.
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: I never I when when COVID happened, I was the
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: first one with a mask on. And it was because
• 10:33
  Speaker 10: it completely fixed that problem for me.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I don't see you having that.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: I have that problem.
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: And if you take this and do this right here,
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: then it's just some people would say it makes my
• 10:42
  Speaker 10: eyes too aggressive when I had the mask on.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: But, oh, dude, it was great.
• 10:47
  Speaker 10: Like, I never had to, I mean, I feel like
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: my face actually got lazier. I feel like I lost
• 10:51
  Speaker 10: some muscle tone.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I think there's a whole generation of people, of kids,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that can no longer read facial expressions as part of conversation,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: which is the point of having face-to-face conversations.
• 11:03
  Speaker 10: Younger employees seem to believe that they should not have
• 11:06
  Speaker 10: to fake a smile or pretend they are comfortable in
• 11:09
  Speaker 10: the workplace.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: That is life. Right? That's just, again, I know no
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: one likes being told to smile. I get it. But
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: work on it every once in a while. Work on
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: it in a mirror.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So you must know Brian.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Do a few exercises.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Do you know Brian? Brian texted it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: What do you got?
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: He said, ha ha, the RBF king talking about others
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: with RBF.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: That's right. That's right.
• 11:31
  Speaker 14: Brian.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I don't see that with you, though.

• 11:37
  Speaker 4: me in public. It's just my face, dude. It's just
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: my face.
• 11:41
  Speaker 15: It's, I mean, it, it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 10: I look like I'm mad most of the time if
• 11:47
  Speaker 10: you just walk up on me.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I do too, but that's on purpose.

• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Not bad.
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: Again, a 20% chance of rain. Didn't pay off for me.
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: Paid off for Will for like five seconds yesterday.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, fairly decent little rain.
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah, maybe today will be the day. Getting up to
• 15:45
  Speaker 10: a high of 81, down to 62 tonight. And by
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: the way, if you're watching Election Day because it's been
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: in the news, like, hey, get there early because it's
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: not great weather on Election Day. We were doing some
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: digging into that because just at surface level, we couldn't
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: quite understand where.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Inclement weather. Inclement weather.
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: I mean, there's a chance of rain for sure.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: But this time of year, a cold front is clement weather.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I don't even know if.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: That's a word.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: That's what it's supposed to be. Yeah.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, you might have to put on a raincoat
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and be a little chilly.
• 16:10
  Speaker 10: But Tuesday is the day where we're supposed to see
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: that front come through because Tuesday during the day, 78,
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: Tuesday night, we're looking at 50.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: You know, so that's where all that's coming from. So, yeah,
• 16:22
  Speaker 10: you know, if that's a problem or you don't want
• 16:25
  Speaker 10: to wear a coat somewhere, then maybe.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Voting early might be your plan.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Like a good coat.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Everyone, you know, why wouldn't I?
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: Are you telling me you're going to give me an
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: opportunity to stand outside in the cold with a coat
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: and maybe a warm beverage and for an hour?
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: And again, my boss can't tell me. A felt hat. Yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 10: They can't tell me. I'm not allowed to do it
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: because it's impending. It's impeding on my right as an
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: American to cast my vote.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: I'm going to take that deal.
• 16:51
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: I'm going to take that deal 10 times out of 10.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I like bad weather. Yeah.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Not severe weather, but bad weather.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Bad weather. And I do like nice weather.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Because it keeps all the weaker people at home.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: And you know what? This is the time when bad
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: weather actually makes you a little bit happy. Like once
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: it's in February, it's a completely different story. You've had
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: enough of it. But like right now, it's a treat.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I believe it was Ron Swanson who said, there's no
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: such thing as inclement weather, only inadequate clothing.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: Weather brought to you by Malik. Be prepared for the
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: next power outage with Malik Service Company and a whole
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: home backup generator from Generac. Call Malik to schedule your
• 17:29
  Speaker 10: appointment today. There's another list of the toys we were
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: lucky to survive that's out today. I want to get
• 17:33
  Speaker 10: to this. Because really what I want to do is
• 17:36
  Speaker 10: I want to go through and I want to see
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: how many of these that you, Will Welch, survived.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: Because, again, these are vintage toys that should have killed us.
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: And we will begin with pogo sticks. Did you have
• 17:53
  Speaker 10: an experience with a pogo stick?
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: A brief experience with the pogo sticks. only because I'm
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: not the world's most gifted athlete.
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: Yeah, we might have to explain for the younger generation.
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: A pogo stick was basically a stick on a spring with.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Two pedals, and you would hop, hop, hop.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Right, you had handles on there.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Right, handles on it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: But it was basically a loaded spring, which meant you
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: could fall off of it, you could hit an edge
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: or do anything, and then the thing would just come
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: at you like a missile, straight, straight, Towards any part
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: of your body, you probably didn't want it impacting. And, yeah,
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: it was just an injury.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: My problem was landing square with it because I'd land
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: a little off tilt.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: And then I would go one way and it would
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: go the other. And, of course, you have to hop
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: on concrete.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Didn't work in the grass.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Bad bump. Easy bake ovens. A hot oven. What could
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: go wrong, they said.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I did not have one as a kid. It was
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: considered a girl toy.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Back then, in the 70s, when I would have had one.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: My daughters had one, though, so I can tell you
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: that I survived it.
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pizza Shooter. It fired thick
• 19:04
  Speaker 10: plastic pizza discs that were hard enough to leave welts.
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: I remember the toy. I don't remember the welts.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I don't remember the toy because the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: That was after your time.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I had aged out of it just a little bit.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Slap bracelets. The early metal versions could really mess you up.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: I disagree. I disagree.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I had some. I think maybe if you wore them
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: frequently and then the outer layer would wear off.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Then you have just nothing but metal under there.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: You essentially had a prison shank. Yeah.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: BB guns, number six, obvious reasons.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we had BB gun wars. Apologies to the Church
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: of Christ, A & M Church of Christ, which I
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: grew up behind because my neighbors and I would shoot
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: BB guns. We'd have BB gun wars. I swear it
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't me, but there was a window broken. during those
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: BB gun wars.
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: I would like to involve some of you guys before
• 19:56
  Speaker 10: we get much more into this.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: What toy did you survive?
• 20:00
  Speaker 14: 979-695-1620.
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: Because we're almost halfway through Renaissance Festival, I still have
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: a giant stack.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you need to get rid of those.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: I will pick a few of you.
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: Guys at random and give you a pair of tickets
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: as a reward for surviving. Because you don't get enough
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: of those. I mean, with some of these, you probably
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: should get an award.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: We've already got a text in. Should we wet the
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: whistle already?
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, give me that.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, the one from Matt, which I'm not familiar with.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: He's got a couple.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I'm familiar with all of those.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Okay, Sit and Spin, you're going to have to explain
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: to me. I don't remember Sit and Spin.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Sit and Spin, essentially, it was a merry-go-round, but in miniature.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: So you sat on it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Dear God.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: And what you were sitting on would spin.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Right. And it had a little.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I want to call it almost like a steering wheel
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: in the center. So you'd grab that, and that was stationary.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Why is that a toy?
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: And then you would spin yourself.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: That seems like a vomit-inducing experience.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, but back then, Dizzy was as good as
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: it got.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, I had the.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Sit and spin.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: He also says Hot Wheels. I had Hot Wheels.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Hot Wheels, yeah.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Hot Wheels were the other one he said he survived.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: He said Big Wheels. That's right, Big Wheels. I called them. Yeah,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: I know exactly what you're talking about. The little trike.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the big front wheel.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: And your brake, you could pull the handbrake and pull
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: yourself a state trooper slide.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: WTAW, you're on the radio. Good morning. What did you survive?
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Lawn darts.
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: Okay, so you're someone that actually did play with lawn darts.
• 21:37
  Speaker 21: I did.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Holy cow. Did you ever get close.
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: To, you know, thinking it was time to come home
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: with those things? Because, yeah, those actually killed people.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my brother was pretty rough with me, and my
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: older brother, a couple years older, and, yeah, I would get,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I'd have to stand close, and he'd throw them up,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: and we'd just hope it worked.
• 21:56
  Speaker 15: Ha ha ha!
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much for the call.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that my my dear friend, Tony Floyd.
• 22:04
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: From Pangburn, Arkansas.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, Lord.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: His family owned a an air conditioning company and he
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: swore that lawn darts put him through college because of
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the amount of lawn darts that would hit the outside.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's a javelin. Yeah. It's a spear falling
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: from the sky.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And he was slightly older than me.
• 22:23
  Speaker 15: So.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: So right there.
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: We're going to take a break and let you get
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: some of yours in. Again, if you want to play along,
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: we still have more that we need to get to because, shockingly,
• 22:30
  Speaker 10: if you grew up in the 80s and 90s, everything
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: wanted to kill you.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: You were talking about sit and spin.
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: I'm surprised we didn't have someone just say a regular merry-go-round.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, those should have been because those were deadly.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: What did you survive, Texas?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I am now a master of centrifugal force, though, because
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: of those.
• 22:48

  Speaker 4: You should be glad.
• 24:03
  Speaker 10: I mean, we were living in Final Destination, basically, when
• 24:05

• 24:07
  Speaker 10: put it.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: It was survival of the fittest. There's no reason any
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: of us should be alive.

  Speaker 1: It was Darwin in action.

• 24:20
  Speaker 10: a shower in the early afternoon, but it's not a
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: great chance of it, about 20%, then down to the
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: 60s tonight. Tomorrow, another 20% chance of showers in the
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: late afternoon, just so we can vary it up, and
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: a high near 79. Weather's brought to you by United

  Speaker 21: can call them, 561-717-6794. On this Thursday, I'm thinking about
• 25:36
  Speaker 21: election coverage. Now, I'm proud of my operations on television, radio,
• 25:41
  Speaker 21: and YouTube. If you turn on cable, well, a lot
• 25:48
  Speaker 21: of it's just bull. My tolerance is very low for that.
• 25:52
  Speaker 21: But here, we give it to you straight. Some folks
• 25:56
  Speaker 21: don't like that. In my recent best-selling book, Confronting America,
• 26:00
  Speaker 21: What Has to Change, we define these ill-informed citizens as
• 26:05
  Speaker 21: bubble people. They believe what they want to believe. Facts
• 26:09
  Speaker 21: do not matter. According to a survey by Pew Research,
• 26:15
  Speaker 21: two in five Americans have little or no contact with
• 26:19
  Speaker 21: people of different points of view. It's the same on television.
• 26:25
  Speaker 21: Programs refuse to book non-progressive guests because of the enormous
• 26:30
  Speaker 21: blowback they face from their liberal audience. It's just not
• 26:35
  Speaker 21: worth it to them to go through the exercise. Jon
• 26:40
  Speaker 21: Stewart would be a good example of that. The result,
• 26:44
  Speaker 21: a panel of liberal analysts on CNN or MS all
• 26:49
  Speaker 21: agree every night, every day, that Donald Trump is the devil.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: So what good does that do anybody?
• 26:59
  Speaker 21: No good. Back in a moment. Are you trapped in
• 27:03
  Speaker 21: a timeshare you don't use, want, or can't get rid of?
• 27:07
  Speaker 21: I endorse Lone Star Transfer. They are a family-owned company

  Speaker 1: Here's Brad Beard of Intercon.
• 35:47
  Speaker 16: I was in a store and heard a child tell
• 35:49
  Speaker 16: her mother, this one must be better because it costs more.
• 35:51
  Speaker 16: What a naive concept. Do adults sometimes fall into a
• 35:54
  Speaker 16: similar trap? Recently, I've had customers tell me they have
• 35:56
  Speaker 16: received a competitor's bid, which was five to ten times
• 35:59
  Speaker 16: as expensive as Intercon's quote for new windows. Are they
• 36:02
  Speaker 16: really getting the right value proposition? Fortunately, Energy Star certification
• 36:06
  Speaker 16: provides a set of uniform metrics to quickly compare the
• 36:08
  Speaker 16: thermal efficiency of windows. Windows have three basic components, frame material,
• 36:13
  Speaker 16: insulated glass, and balance mechanisms. How reliable is each component
• 36:16
  Speaker 16: and are costs associated with a warranty claim? Finally, the
• 36:19
  Speaker 16: experience of the installers can make a huge difference in
• 36:21
  Speaker 16: the final product. Do they install windows for a living
• 36:23
  Speaker 16: or are they subcontracted for the day? Intercon sells ENERGY
• 36:27
  Speaker 16: STAR certified windows with industry-leading warranties installed by our own
• 36:30
  Speaker 16: full-time employees. Why pay more if you can get everything

  Speaker 1: I peeked out the window. I said, Tucker, this is

• 37:53
  Speaker 10: back to business, because we were talking about the toys
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: we were all lucky to survive. So we asked for
• 38:00
  Speaker 10: some of yours, and you have certainly delivered. And again,
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: we mentioned this. I've there's no reason any.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: Of us should be alive.
• 38:08
  Speaker 18: No.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: Pre-1994.
• 38:10
  Speaker 10: There's just zero chance that if you told me to
• 38:16
  Speaker 10: do my childhood again, and from what I'm gathering, most
• 38:20
  Speaker 10: of us, that we'd be confident that we would make
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: it to the other side.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: There's no chance. No chance.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I look back on my youth and I look at
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: this list and I think to myself, these are all
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: things that I would sternly Tell my children not to do.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Let's begin.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Because we were given a pre-produced list, and there were things.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: We started with the lawn darts.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: There is one thing on there that I'm wondering if
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: I'm going to.
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: See, and I'm holding that, but yours are savage.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: We have Glenn and Joan and several others, and many
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: people have said lawn darts, but Glenn and Joan click
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: clacks or clackers. I remember those. So they were ropes
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: with heavy balls on the end of them, and you
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: made them clack together. Essentially, they were a bolo. I mean,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that I slung several of them
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: at friends that were running away to try to trip
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: them up like you saw in the cartoons.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Were you effective?
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Something, if they hit, they hurt, that's for sure.
• 39:20
  Speaker 10: Bradley says, my daughters had one of those Sky Dancer
• 39:22
  Speaker 10: flying Barbie dolls with solid helicopter-like art.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: The Sky Dancers.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Those little flying dolls?
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Those were bad.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: I had a child with very long, very thick hair.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: And those always ended in tragedy.
• 39:38
  Speaker 10: There have been a few different versions of this text,
• 39:40
  Speaker 10: but I'm going to read this one because I think
• 39:42
  Speaker 10: it's very specific. And also terrifying. Amy says, I survived
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: the metal slide at Dairy Queen.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Many, many people have texted in about the metal slides.
• 39:55
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that sucker will leave third-degree burns on the back
• 39:58
  Speaker 10: of your thighs. I remember that Dairy Queen. I remember
• 40:00
  Speaker 10: that slide, and she ain't lying.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: There are slides in most of our memories that are,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: shall we say, burned into our memory. Pam and Troy
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: both say slingshots.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: Slingshots! Slingshots, y'all.
• 40:13
  Speaker 10: You would just tell kids to use the weapon that
• 40:17
  Speaker 10: David used to fell Goliath and have fun.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: That was it.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: And you'd get the expensive one. The rich kid on
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: the block always got the one that had, like, the
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: arm brace.
• 40:27
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: And it had metal balls that came with it.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Like a.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Jeff says.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: Like a component bow.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Jeff says, his own curiosity, toilet paper burns way too fast,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: and don't tie a rope around your stomach when mountain
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: climbing the tree.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, stop it. What's this one? Oh, Bill. Wire-controlled gas-powered planes.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: Remember that? I do. Yeah, that's a missile. That's a missile.

  Speaker 1: Calder texts in, three-wheelers. Three-wheelers.
• 41:00
  Speaker 12: Oh, Lord.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: And if you remember the three-wheeler, Death Trap, let's take
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: the world's most unstable geometric shape and let's strap. Back
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: in that day, the Death Trap was the Honda 90.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: You could put it up against a tree and it
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: would climb it, but it was no telling when the
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: thing was going to flip just randomly.
• 41:20
  Speaker 10: By the way, three-wheelers have come up several times. Shane
• 41:23
  Speaker 10: takes it up a notch, though. Three-wheeler jump contests.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: Hey!
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: For distance.

  Speaker 10: and heights this is hopefully jason bonner is listening yeah that.

  Speaker 1: Was your people people also texted about building their own
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: ramps and we did that and of course then you
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: would have the neighborhood kids lay down in front of
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: the ramps and you would jump over them on your.
• 41:47
  Speaker 10: Bicycle lisa texts in Stretch Armstrong friends would open it
• 41:51
  Speaker 10: or it would split. And there was this is a
• 41:53
  Speaker 10: direct this is a direct quote. And there was tasty
• 41:56
  Speaker 10: goo inside.
• 41:58

• 41:59
  Speaker 10: Not no idea what the goo was.
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: But it was tasty. Lisa, you like that. Yeah, I never. No,

  Speaker 1: want to taste it. Gary and many others talking about
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: firework wars, Roman candles and bottle rockets.
• 42:16
  Speaker 25: 100%.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: In fact, Jay says bottle rocket wars get about a
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: three-foot piece of PVC, and then you could aim them. Jason,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: we didn't go find PVC.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: What did you use?
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: You could find an old wiffle ball bat and cut
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: the end off of it.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: All that bad boy out.
• 42:34
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: Jason says, an improperly deployed slip and slide. Oh, brother.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: You have to make sure the ground is right for that.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, you do. It's got to be soft.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, you do.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, yeah.
• 42:45
  Speaker 10: Now, I have not seen anyone text in the one
• 42:47
  Speaker 10: I was wondering if any of you guys played with,
• 42:48
  Speaker 10: because I think this goes back a ways before they
• 42:51
  Speaker 10: were a problem. Do you remember chemistry sets?
• 42:54
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: You ever have one? Yes. Okay, so what was it?
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: Did you do everything deadly in yours?
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Sodium ferrocyanide.
• 43:00
  Speaker 21: Get out!
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: They gave you cyanide?
• 43:02
  Speaker 22: Yes.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: They gave you cyanide! Yes, I will never forget that.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: And beyond that, like in my uncle's chemistry set, they
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: had radioactive materials in there.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: That's right, Will.
• 43:15
  Speaker 10: In the older generations, they would actually give you real-life
• 43:19
  Speaker 10: uranium in the chemistry set.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: Good times.
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, yeah. We are so fortunate.
• 43:27
  Speaker 10: We'll pick some winners and send you guys to the
• 43:29
  Speaker 10: Texas Women's Dance Festival.
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: It was a great, great time this morning, guys.
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: A chilling, chilling conversation.
• 43:34
  Speaker 29: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
• 43:37
  Speaker 29: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs
• 43:40
  Speaker 29: of Childs Dermatology for bringing the Focus on the Family
• 43:43
  Speaker 29: Minute to you each morning.
• 43:45
  Speaker 30: Reveal your flawless skin with Child's Dermatology. Ask about the
• 43:49
  Speaker 30: Candela XSEED microneedling treatment that repairs and restores aging skin naturally.

• 43:58
  Speaker 30: process to correct flaws and improve skin quality. XSEED is

  Speaker 30: the only FDA-approved microneedling device and is clinically proven to

• 44:16
  Speaker 29: Technology advances every day, but one truth will never change.
• 44:21
  Speaker 29: Just because we can do something doesn't mean we ought to.
• 44:25
  Speaker 29: Consider this. In 2006, scientists examined a sea clam named
• 44:29
  Speaker 29: Ming that they believed was the oldest living animal ever discovered.
• 44:34
  Speaker 29: To know for sure, they had to pry Ming open
• 44:36
  Speaker 29: and count its rings. They did so and confirmed that
• 44:40
  Speaker 29: Ming was born in the year 1499 during the Ming dynasty.
• 44:44
  Speaker 29: But there was a problem. Although the test confirmed Ming's
• 44:48
  Speaker 29: extraordinary age, it also killed Ming. Let me pause here
• 44:52
  Speaker 29: and ask you what you think about that. Is it
• 44:55
  Speaker 29: worth killing an ancient creature simply to collect that data?
• 44:59
  Speaker 29: To answer that, we must first address the ethical conundrum
• 45:03
  Speaker 29: I started with. Just because we can do something, should we?
• 45:07
  Speaker 29: The question reveals a crucially important truth about the intersection
• 45:12
  Speaker 29: between science and wisdom. Science tells us what can be done.
• 45:16
  Speaker 29: Wisdom tells us whether or not something should be done.
• 45:20
  Speaker 29: Individually and as a nation, we have the ability to
• 45:23
  Speaker 29: do mighty things, but ability is not enough. We also
• 45:27
  Speaker 29: need wisdom to guide us. Knowledge tells us what is possible,
• 45:31
  Speaker 29: but wisdom tells us what is right. Without that vital boundary,
• 45:36
  Speaker 29: our potential is as likely to cause destruction as it
• 45:40
  Speaker 29: is to do anything good. For more to help you thrive,

  Speaker 18: The following is not an actor, but a real-life story
• 45:50
  Speaker 18: from Trinity Debt Management.
• 45:52
  Speaker 31: Every day I speak with people who are worried and

• 46:12
  Speaker 31: much less than what they were paying before. Most of
• 46:15
  Speaker 31: our members end up saving thousands and even may improve
• 46:19
  Speaker 31: their credit scores by as much as 200 points. I
• 46:22
  Speaker 31: know from the bottom of my heart that I'm making
• 46:25
  Speaker 31: a difference in the lives of the people we help.
• 46:28

  Speaker 33: Reed Arena on Monday night against UAPB. Head coach Joni
• 49:49
  Speaker 33: Taylor spoke about what she learned about her team in

  Speaker 33: the closed scrimmages they've had recently.
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: We're resilient.
• 49:55
  Speaker 12: We're fearless competitors.
• 49:57
  Speaker 34: We've had some other players who will be available on
• 50:01
  Speaker 34: Monday but who did not play in our three scrimmages
• 50:03
  Speaker 34: just to take care of their bodies and neck injuries
• 50:05
  Speaker 34: that we don't want to get worse before we start playing.
• 50:09
  Speaker 34: And so we played our three scrimmages with six scholarship
• 50:11
  Speaker 34: players and two walk-ons and just had a really, really
• 50:16
  Speaker 34: good competitive spirit about us. I think it gave some
• 50:19
  Speaker 34: of our players a ton of minutes that they needed
• 50:22
  Speaker 34: to have. It allowed them to push through some things.
• 50:24
  Speaker 34: And so we're excited to have everybody back and healthy.
• 50:27
  Speaker 34: But I learned that we are just, we're what we
• 50:30
  Speaker 34: want to be in terms of our toughness and our resiliency.

• 53:19
  Speaker 10: And also, really quickly, I'm going to try to get
• 53:22
  Speaker 10: through this quickly, because Jennifer's text messages, have you read these?
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: I have not. We're talking about things you survived as
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: a kid.
• 53:28
  Speaker 10: I survived a rectangular trampoline my mom got from the
• 53:31
  Speaker 10: gymnastics gym. Don't know if it was pre-owned or not.
• 53:34
  Speaker 10: It had no mat around the springs and, of course,
• 53:36
  Speaker 10: no net. I was the youngest of my siblings, and
• 53:38
  Speaker 10: my four brothers would get on the four sides. I'd
• 53:40
  Speaker 10: be in the middle as the egg. The goal was
• 53:42
  Speaker 10: to launch me completely off of the trampoline into my yard,
• 53:44
  Speaker 10: which was sloped, so my dad had dug into the
• 53:47
  Speaker 10: slope on one side so the trampoline was level with
• 53:49
  Speaker 10: the ground as you got.
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: On, but the other end, six-foot drop to the ground.
• 53:55
  Speaker 10: She says if she even made it all the way
• 53:57
  Speaker 10: off the trampoline, frequently she landed on the springs or bars,
• 53:59
  Speaker 10: and she still has the scars.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: To prove it. Love a good trampoline, right?
• 54:04
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: You know what else I love? What's that?
• 54:06
  Speaker 10: Jokes will i love jokes fortunately for us will also
• 54:11
  Speaker 10: likes jokes i do gives us the ability to have
• 54:14
  Speaker 10: a segment called jokes with will.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: In today's edition why did cinderella get kicked off the
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: team no clue because she runs away from the ball
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: ah right yeah it's a problem you know i really
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: sympathize with batteries yeah i don't get included with anything either.
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: A little whiny, but I like it.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: I'm using that one. I started jogging. I didn't really
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: plan to start jogging. The ice cream truck wouldn't stop.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: So why couldn't the lifeguard save the hippie?
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: Why couldn't the lifeguard save the hippie?
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: He was just too far out, man.
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: So I now have an epi pen.
• 55:05
  Speaker 25: Oh, do you?

• 55:16
  Speaker 1: And finally today.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Did you know that Spider-Man has a winter jacket made
