- 1:01Speaker 3: disingenuous people. That's what we should have. That's what we
- 1:05Speaker 3: should have, a disingenuous people's day because we've got a
- 1:11Speaker 3: crap ton full of those, don't we? Disingenuous people's day.
- 1:16Speaker 3: That could be a five-day weekend. As we gather together
- 1:21Speaker 3: and bask in either the amplitude or frequency modulation goodness,
- 1:25Speaker 3: I want to thank you for letting me do what
- 1:27Speaker 3: I do, which is tell you what went on last night.
- 1:30Speaker 3: And then, of course, we will break it down for
- 1:33Speaker 3: you into easily digestible gummies. And as the side effects
- 1:38Speaker 3: start to take effect, I want to hear how it's
- 1:40Speaker 3: impacting you where you are. You, the singular most important
- 1:44Speaker 3: local part of the radio station. I want to thank
- 1:47Speaker 3: Steve gave us a call. After the program yesterday, listening
- 1:52Speaker 3: in Joliet at WJOL there, it was neat. And Steve,
- 1:58Speaker 3: call any time. And he's great. He's got this Dennis
- 2:03Speaker 3: Farina voice. And, you know, if you wanted somebody to
- 2:07Speaker 3: sound like they were from Chicagoland, Steve was right out
- 2:11Speaker 3: of Central Casting. I'm like, is this Dennis Farina isn't
- 2:15Speaker 3: calling me? And who expected a Dennis Farina reference at
- 2:19Speaker 3: this hour of a Friday morning? Well, it's a holiday weekend. And,
- 2:24Speaker 3: you know, we discover new things for Disingenuous People's Weekend
- 2:29Speaker 3: at 434-882-4217 is how you accomplish the contributions. Text message,
- 2:36Speaker 3: most popular way to do it because mornings are insane
- 2:40Speaker 3: because this is when all those things you put off
- 2:42Speaker 3: to the last minute. Metastasize. This is the last minute.
- 2:52Speaker 3: So we begin with our first things this morning, break
- 2:55Speaker 3: apart a bunch of stuff that are going on in
- 2:59Speaker 3: and around, up and down and sideways this morning. President Trump, though,
- 3:06Speaker 3: deciding that he doesn't sufficiently tweak members of the media
- 3:11Speaker 3: to He said he will host a White House celebration
- 3:14Speaker 3: honoring Christopher Columbus today, highlighting a reconstructed statue of the
- 3:19Speaker 3: Explorer as he urges Italian Americans to remember his support
- 3:24Speaker 3: ahead of the midterm elections. Meanwhile, the holiday weekend along
- 3:31Speaker 3: the Gulf and into the southern states is going to
- 3:33Speaker 3: be a soggy one. Residents boarded up windows and stacked
- 3:37Speaker 3: sandbags all along The Gulf Coast as National Guard soldiers
- 3:42Speaker 3: started to deploy in anticipation of the arrival of Hurricane Isaiah.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Isaiah is the first hurricane of the Atlantic season. And
- 3:50Speaker 3: believe me, the climate change zealots have been nervously wondering
- 3:54Speaker 3: what happens if there isn't one. The Category 2 hurricane
- 3:58Speaker 3: most likely to strike along the Alabama-Florida state line. No
- 4:03Speaker 3: mullet toss today. and bring storm surges along Pensacola Bay.
- 4:08Speaker 3: They're prepping for it. They're expecting major impacts in Mobile,
- 4:13Speaker 3: as well as effects on Florida cities from Pensacola to Destin.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Many of our affiliates, they are bracing for it along
- 4:22Speaker 3: the Gulf Coast. The firing squad execution of Fort Hood's shooter,
- 4:27Speaker 3: Nidal Malik Hassan, will be streamed live, the Pentagon said.
- 4:34Speaker 3: Defense Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had described the execution
- 4:40Speaker 3: as going public. The Army announced that the execution will
- 4:44Speaker 3: take place at Fort Hood on December 3rd. Hassan was
- 4:48Speaker 3: convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 others in
- 4:52Speaker 3: a shooting at the military base in 2009. President Trump's
- 4:57Speaker 3: administration announced Thursday it's suspending Microsoft and several other firms
- 5:01Speaker 3: from a program the H-1B visas that allow foreign workers
- 5:06Speaker 3: to apply for green cards if they're going to be
- 5:08Speaker 3: working at the company, saying that the companies were rife
- 5:12Speaker 3: with fraud. Airlines, including Lufthansa and Air India, have suspended
- 5:18Speaker 3: operations temporarily to Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, after explosions that
- 5:25Speaker 3: are connected to the battles going on in between the
- 5:30Speaker 3: Houthi rebels and Iran. Saudi-backed troops from Yemen. And Steve
- 5:37Speaker 3: Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump's envoys, have met with Ukrainian
- 5:42Speaker 3: negotiators yesterday and European officials, and they'll continue their meetings
- 5:47Speaker 3: today for new proposals aimed at breaking the stalemate in
- 5:51Speaker 3: the Russian-Ukrainian invasion. And those are some of our first
- 5:56Speaker 3: things on this Friday morning. You do things, and I
- 6:01Speaker 3: don't know how many miles you have on your odometer,
- 6:04Speaker 3: but some of the aches and pains that you feel
- 6:07Speaker 3: are from your hopefully well-spent youth, but they leave things
- 6:13Speaker 3: like sore knees and stiff shoulders, and sometimes it's just
- 6:17Speaker 3: a matter of you have the wrong pillow, and I'm
- 6:19Speaker 3: not going to do an ad for pillow companies. They
- 6:21Speaker 3: haven't paid for that. But wherever the aches and pains are,
- 6:25Speaker 3: our friend Celie out at Mesa Verde Hemp What a
- 6:29Speaker 3: godsend this has been in my family. My wife fell
- 6:32Speaker 3: and hurt her back trying to protect her mother from
- 6:35Speaker 3: a fall. And the topical application of the CBD oil
- 6:40Speaker 3: that Sealy makes, just three days and it was gone.
- 6:44Speaker 3: The trouble is I'm running out of things that ache
- 6:47Speaker 3: that I put CBD oil on. So I don't have
- 6:51Speaker 3: personal testimony, shoulder better, knee better. Maybe I should go
- 6:55Speaker 3: out and injure something that has been suggested by folks,
- 6:58Speaker 3: but you should visit Mesa Verde Hemp.
- 7:01Speaker 7: Let's see if something costs less, a lot less, but
- 7:04Speaker 7: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
- 7:07Speaker 7: to look into. And that's MediShare. Maybe you've heard joining
- 7:11Speaker 7: MediShare can save you or your family up to 500
- 7:14Speaker 7: bucks a month.
- 7:15Speaker 8: And that's huge, but it's also true. People are just
- 7:17Speaker 8: happier with it.
- 7:18Speaker 7: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
- 7:21Speaker 8: Values and what they believe in. MediShare works too.
- 7:24Speaker 7: It's been around for 30 years now and members have
- 7:27Speaker 7: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People

- 8:03Speaker 1: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 1: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 1: I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation... Our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 1: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 1: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 1: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:32Speaker 1: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 1: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
- 8:43Speaker 1: least slow the spread of cancer. and in many instances,
- 8:47Speaker 1: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 1: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 9:02Speaker 11: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 11: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 11: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 9:13Speaker 11: will be arrested, if you don't make payments or provide
- 9:16Speaker 11: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 11: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:25Speaker 11: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29Speaker 11: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 9:33Speaker 11: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:37Speaker 11: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:42Speaker 11: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46Speaker 11: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
- 9:53Speaker 11: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:58Speaker 5: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 12: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
- 10:01Speaker 12: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 12: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 12: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 12: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 12: who work.
- 10:13Speaker 3: Hard to provide for their young.
- 10:14Speaker 12: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
- 10:17Speaker 12: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
- 10:20Speaker 12: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
- 10:22Speaker 12: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
- 10:25Speaker 12: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
- 10:28Speaker 12: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32Speaker 12: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
- 10:35Speaker 12: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
- 10:37Speaker 12: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
- 10:41Speaker 12: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
- 10:44Speaker 12: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
- 10:46Speaker 12: and help those in need. So please join me and
- 10:49Speaker 12: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
- 10:52Speaker 12: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
- 10:55Speaker 12: to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
- 10:59Speaker 8: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 13: Oh yeah?
- 11:01Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 14: And now a speech. I just want to say that
- 11:08Speaker 14: friendship is about heart. Heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 16: Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 14: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 17: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:23Speaker 17: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:28Speaker 18: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 18: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 18: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:39Speaker 18: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 18: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
- 11:46Speaker 18: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:51Speaker 18: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
- 11:54Speaker 18: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 18: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:00Speaker 18: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 18: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:07Speaker 18: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 18: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 12:14Speaker 18: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 12:32Speaker 19: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 19: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40Speaker 19: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

- 13:12Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
- 13:16Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 13:20Speaker 20: They all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the
- 13:23Speaker 20: world was round. They all laughed when Edison recorded sound.
- 13:30Speaker 20: They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother when they
- 13:33Speaker 20: said that man could fly. They told Marconi wireless was
- 13:38Speaker 20: a phony.
- 13:39Speaker 21: It's the same old cry.
- 13:40Speaker 20: They laughed at me wanting you.
- 13:43Speaker 3: So they laughed at this guy that you're not supposed
- 13:46Speaker 3: to talk about, Christopher Columbus. But the journey of discovery,
- 13:51Speaker 3: the journey of finding things out. And remember, Columbus wasn't
- 13:57Speaker 3: out on a government program. Sure, Queen Isabel should give
- 14:02Speaker 3: him money. But it was for commerce sake. You know,
- 14:06Speaker 3: in countries where the government was commerce, that commerce didn't
- 14:10Speaker 3: happen without the government, you know. You didn't build that.
- 14:15Speaker 3: And so, sure, there was the connections with the Spanish
- 14:22Speaker 3: queen and the monies that their government gave to go
- 14:26Speaker 3: find a new way to India. And there was a
- 14:30Speaker 3: lot of reasons why that was the case, because getting
- 14:35Speaker 3: to the subcontinent was an important trade route. And from
- 14:43Speaker 3: where Spain was, it was a pain in the arse.
- 14:50Speaker 3: It was a long way over land and it was
- 14:52Speaker 3: a long way overseas. They didn't want to keep sailing
- 14:55Speaker 3: past perilous places in South Africa, straits and things like that,
- 15:01Speaker 3: and people who didn't like the Spanish. So they were
- 15:05Speaker 3: off to find A new way. And Columbus said, we
- 15:09Speaker 3: can go this way. And they're like, no, you can't
- 15:11Speaker 3: because you're going to fall off the edge. And he said, no, no, no, no.
- 15:15Speaker 3: I think we can go that way. And so he
- 15:20Speaker 3: loads up the ships and he heads west from Spain.
- 15:29Speaker 3: To look for a new way of commerce. A new
- 15:34Speaker 3: a new path to do commerce. It wasn't because we
- 15:42Speaker 3: wanted to or the government ordered him to. There were
- 15:45Speaker 3: business people who said, listen, if we can get to
- 15:49Speaker 3: India and China more easily, that's good. And nobody knew
- 15:59Speaker 3: how long it would be. I mean, it was not
- 16:01Speaker 3: like there were maps and Google Earth or anything like that.
- 16:05Speaker 3: So he said, we're going to go and we'll figure
- 16:09Speaker 3: it out. And then I'll be rich and you'll be
- 16:15Speaker 3: rich because you'll be able to sell stuff that people
- 16:18Speaker 3: want for less. All those things that Bernie Sanders would
- 16:24Speaker 3: not be happy with.
- 16:27Speaker 5: I don't know why this Columbus guy is going for
- 16:29Speaker 5: the oligarchs. We should tax Columbus. Why isn't Queen Isabella
- 16:36Speaker 5: paying a fair share?
- 16:40Speaker 3: So we go into Columbus Day weekend for a myriad
- 16:45Speaker 3: of reasons, and certainly the Italian-American culture celebrates. A quick reminder,
- 16:55Speaker 3: there were an awful lot of people who didn't want
- 16:57Speaker 3: the Italian-American immigration. Just saying. A lot of people didn't
- 17:04Speaker 3: want the Irish immigration. Just saying. This is why you
- 17:10Speaker 3: find neighborhoods still to this day in New York and
- 17:16Speaker 3: Chicago that are predominantly, especially the little Italy's of the world.
- 17:31Speaker 3: And they.
- 17:36Speaker 3: Faced some great hardship when they arrived here. But Columbus,
- 17:40Speaker 3: he didn't expect to arrive here or technically arrive in
- 17:44Speaker 3: the Bahamas. And it's not like an all-inclusive resort these days.
- 17:50Speaker 3: You sail to the Bahamas, it's a lot easier. There's less,
- 17:55Speaker 3: what the hell is this thing coming up to our.
- 17:59Speaker 3: There are three of them. I don't know, but I'd
- 18:03Speaker 3: kill everything that comes off of it Pretty, pretty frightening. But,
- 18:13Speaker 3: you know, Columbus not knowing where he was thinking, you know,
- 18:18Speaker 3: this is, you know, that doesn't look like the India
- 18:21Speaker 3: I'm aware of, but it, you know, they may be
- 18:28Speaker 3: a different type of Indians. But we were doing it
- 18:34Speaker 3: to look for new ways to find new things. And
- 18:37Speaker 3: the point of order on Columbus Day weekend should be,
- 18:41Speaker 3: are we still doing that? A world that said, don't
- 18:46Speaker 3: try to treat a disease. Don't look for old ways,
- 18:53Speaker 3: new ways, sideways to engage in a way to make
- 19:01Speaker 3: yourself money. To survive? Just wait for the government to
- 19:05Speaker 3: come along. Queen Isabella will come along and she'll take
- 19:09Speaker 3: care of you. Let's not forget, before we start thinking
- 19:15Speaker 3: you didn't build that, how many times Columbus had to
- 19:18Speaker 3: ask and how many different crowned heads of Europe he
- 19:21Speaker 3: had to ask before getting permission or funding from Queen Isabella.
- 19:28Speaker 3: I think the story I remember was at least three
- 19:31Speaker 3: times she said no. In Spanish, no. Hey, six semesters
- 19:44Speaker 3: of Spanish in high school, at least I know that.
- 19:59Speaker 3: The reason they don't want to talk about Columbus anymore
- 20:07Speaker 3: is because once the Europeans started coming to the United States,
- 20:17Speaker 3: some of them didn't have very high opinions of the
- 20:20Speaker 3: native population there, and that's not arguable. But the one
- 20:27Speaker 3: group that did hold the natives of this new world
- 20:33Speaker 3: in fairly high regard were the English settlers, probably because
- 20:40Speaker 3: they Their country, their world's history was replete with Saxons
- 20:47Speaker 3: and Vikings and French and Lord knows how many people
- 20:53Speaker 3: invading England. You'd think there were more natural resources in
- 20:58Speaker 3: England for the amount of people that just kept invading
- 21:03Speaker 3: the poor place. the Romans. I mean, there were people
- 21:08Speaker 3: from all over the world. I mean, England, whether it
- 21:10Speaker 3: liked it or not, was a melting pot, usually at
- 21:14Speaker 3: the end of somebody's sword or scabbard. So when the
- 21:19Speaker 3: English settlers got there, they're like, okay, they're different than us,
- 21:22Speaker 3: but you remember when the Vikings landed? Great Granddad had
- 21:26Speaker 3: to deal with the Vikings. And the great irony of
- 21:34Speaker 3: this is that the English settlers are the ones that
- 21:38Speaker 3: are bearing the brunt out of, I don't know, white
- 21:40Speaker 3: guilt or whatever it is for the crimes of the
- 21:48Speaker 3: French and the Spanish and the French again and some
- 21:52Speaker 3: more French who treated the natives pretty badly. Even Columbus,
- 21:58Speaker 3: he didn't treat the, well, he liked it.
- 22:01Speaker 13: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
- 22:04Speaker 13: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
- 22:08Speaker 13: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
- 22:11Speaker 13: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
- 22:15Speaker 13: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
- 22:17Speaker 13: it could just be you moving your body and doing
- 22:19Speaker 13: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a
- 22:22Speaker 13: stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also

- 24:03Speaker 1: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 1: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 1: I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 4: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation... Our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:19Speaker 1: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:23Speaker 1: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 1: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 1: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 24:39Speaker 1: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
- 24:43Speaker 1: least slow the spread of cancer. and in many instances,
- 24:46Speaker 1: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 24:51Speaker 1: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 25:56Speaker 17: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 14: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 1: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:05Speaker 14: Heart and brain.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 26:10Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 26:13Speaker 15: somebody call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 16: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 9: Me too.
- 26:16Speaker 17: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 17: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 18: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:25Speaker 18: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:29Speaker 18: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
- 26:34Speaker 18: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:36Speaker 18: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
- 26:40Speaker 18: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 18: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 18: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 18: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 18: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:58Speaker 18: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 18: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 18: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 18: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 28:17Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:31Speaker 3: You know, it's funny. We're starting, you know, and the
- 28:34Speaker 3: gifts are wonderful. But I was thinking about the throw
- 28:37Speaker 3: a finger in the air. So I told you a
- 28:40Speaker 3: fellow called from Joliet. He makes custom presents. horseshoes, and
- 28:46Speaker 3: he's sending one to us for first thing today. And
- 28:51Speaker 3: I can't wait to put it up because I have
- 28:53Speaker 3: this wonderful little chew toy that's made by our friend
- 28:56Speaker 3: Sealy out at Mesa Verde Hemp. It's like a dog
- 28:59Speaker 3: chew toy, like those Kong balls. But it's got President Trump,
- 29:03Speaker 3: and he's holding a finger in the air. And you
- 29:07Speaker 3: can infer it any way. You can give it to anyone.
- 29:09Speaker 3: As Sealy said, it's a bipartisan thing. gift, whoever you can.
- 29:14Speaker 3: It's a gift that keeps on giving. But I said,
- 29:16Speaker 3: you know, technically a horse is running on their middle finger.
- 29:22Speaker 3: And if you think about it, and I remember once
- 29:24Speaker 3: a veterinarian and Dr. Clark may be shaking his head
- 29:28Speaker 3: down there getting ready to walk into the McCurry Animal Clinic.
- 29:32Speaker 3: But it was explained to me that if you look
- 29:36Speaker 3: in the bones of a horse's fetlock and and and such,
- 29:41Speaker 3: and this came, what was the horse that had that
- 29:44Speaker 3: horrific leg break in the Kentucky Derby? And we were
- 29:50Speaker 3: working in southeastern Pennsylvania, and Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, is the
- 29:57Speaker 3: home of one of the great veterinary hospitals schools attached
- 30:01Speaker 3: to the University of Pennsylvania, Ivy League. But the big
- 30:06Speaker 3: veterinary clinic was in Kennett Square for big animals, horses mostly,
- 30:12Speaker 3: but cows certainly. So we got talking about why a
- 30:19Speaker 3: leg break is so dire for a horse. and the
- 30:24Speaker 3: doctor was showing me the bones, and he said, so technically,
- 30:29Speaker 3: so these are the vestiges of the other four fingers,
- 30:32Speaker 3: and the hoof is actually a giant fingernail. So when
- 30:35Speaker 3: you're nailing a shoe into a hoof, you're actually, it's
- 30:40Speaker 3: not like you're nailing it into the horse's foot. It's
- 30:44Speaker 3: really the end of one finger. And he said, technically,
- 30:47Speaker 3: it's the middle finger. And you wonder how, How in
- 30:52Speaker 3: the world this evolved? Because if some prehistoric horse, somebody
- 31:01Speaker 3: was running along, and I guess in the history of
- 31:08Speaker 3: the animal kingdom, at some point, the prehistoric horse had
- 31:12Speaker 3: a hand, not me, exactly like ours, but it even
- 31:16Speaker 3: looks like it has somewhat of an opposable thumb. But
- 31:20Speaker 3: it ran really fast, and it found it ran really
- 31:24Speaker 3: fast when it only used one of its fingers. And
- 31:28Speaker 3: over evolution, the horses that ran faster stayed alive, so
- 31:32Speaker 3: they had babies. And the horses with the bigger middle fingers, what? No,
- 31:40Speaker 3: not because it's Columbus Day weekend.
- 31:42Speaker 17: No.
- 31:42Speaker 3: No. Plenty of other ethnic groups wave middle fingers at you,
- 31:49Speaker 3: use their middle fingers for lots of things. I know
- 31:53Speaker 3: people who type with their middle fingers. I'm not sure
- 31:56Speaker 3: if they're sending a message or not, but stop yelling
- 31:58Speaker 3: at me. Relax. But, I mean, so technically a horse
- 32:02Speaker 3: is running on its middle fingers. So I'm going to
- 32:07Speaker 3: display it right next to this little chew toy that
- 32:10Speaker 3: Sealy makes for dogs. with President Trump giving a single-finger salute,
- 32:17Speaker 3: because it's just my shrine to the one-digit salute there.
- 32:25Speaker 3: And I'm sure one of you knows the history of
- 32:28Speaker 3: how that became something there as well, but this poor finger.
- 32:34Speaker 3: How many people have had a broken finger, and it's
- 32:37Speaker 3: wound up being that one, and it's wound up in
- 32:39Speaker 3: a cast, and it's so ironic. No, Chairman, I don't know. Oh,
- 32:45Speaker 3: I broke my finger. That's all. So as we head
- 32:48Speaker 3: into this Columbus Day weekend, be on a journey of discovery.
- 32:52Speaker 3: Go out into places where you're pretty sure you know
- 32:55Speaker 3: what you're going to find, but you really don't know.
- 32:58Speaker 3: I mean, just as a social experiment, do things that
- 33:03Speaker 3: you wouldn't normally do. And I'm not saying put yourself
- 33:07Speaker 3: in grave peril. But push your envelope a little bit.
- 33:12Speaker 3: I know that a lot of Columbus Day weekend or
- 33:15Speaker 3: Disingenuous People's Weekend, whatever it is in your world to
- 33:19Speaker 3: be called, is about furniture sales. And we have dear
- 33:24Speaker 3: friends who do furniture sales here locally. And that's okay.
- 33:30Speaker 3: A lot of car dealers have big sales going on
- 33:35Speaker 3: this weekend. And that's cool. But you yourself should put
- 33:41Speaker 3: yourself out there. Do something that you haven't done before.
- 33:53Speaker 3: Because that's what Columbus and his crew did, is they said, well,
- 33:57Speaker 3: we need to find a better way to do what
- 33:59Speaker 3: we're doing. Because it's not like Spain didn't have the
- 34:03Speaker 3: spices from the subcontinent and all the different things that
- 34:06Speaker 3: people had fallen addicted to from India. They just wanted
- 34:11Speaker 3: an easier way to get there so they didn't have
- 34:13Speaker 3: to deal with, I believe it was the French were
- 34:18Speaker 3: the big problem at that point. I don't think it
- 34:20Speaker 3: was the English. You know, 1400s, you know, maybe the
- 34:27Speaker 3: shipping was just, they were just looking for an easier
- 34:30Speaker 3: way to do it. A better way, not just, well,
- 34:36Speaker 3: it'll take us less time or cost us less money.
- 34:39Speaker 3: All of those things are laudable. But just look for,
- 34:43Speaker 3: re-examine all of your processes. One of the worst things
- 34:48Speaker 3: you're going to hear in a business, not to get
- 34:50Speaker 3: all Tony Robbins on you, is, that's not the way
- 34:54Speaker 3: we do things here. I've run into that so many times.
- 35:05Speaker 3: I am, without blowing my own horn, relatively successful at
- 35:09Speaker 3: what I do. It's probably because you and me, we
- 35:13Speaker 3: make a connection. And each new version of you comes along.
- 35:17Speaker 3: Every time I run into somebody, they're like, oh, it's refreshing.
- 35:23Speaker 3: And we do it and we are successful. We don't
- 35:25Speaker 3: have a formula for it or anything like that. The
- 35:28Speaker 3: formula is me. I get on the air and we
- 35:32Speaker 3: rage on against the machine. I tell you the truth
- 35:36Speaker 3: based on what I see and we have some yucks
- 35:39Speaker 3: along the way. And we shake our head a lot
- 35:44Speaker 3: and we facepalm in the morning. I love the smell
- 35:47Speaker 3: of facepalm in the morning. That's like three Robert Duvall
- 35:55Speaker 3: references in the last 24 hours. That's a lot. But
- 36:04Speaker 3: over those years, so being successful at what I do,
- 36:08Speaker 3: I have often been hired by companies that are watching
- 36:10Speaker 3: their success fade away or have not achieved any. And
- 36:17Speaker 3: you in your business have probably run into this. Well,
- 36:20Speaker 3: we're going to hire Bob and he's going to come
- 36:22Speaker 3: in here and he's going to figure out what's wrong
- 36:24Speaker 3: in our whatever it is, department or factory or system.
- 36:32Speaker 3: Maybe you're into logistics. That's a science I can't figure out.
- 36:35Speaker 3: You want to talk about three-dimensional chess. And the universities
- 36:42Speaker 3: try to have degree programs in logistics management. It is
- 36:46Speaker 3: learned by doing. It is Merlin. When I watch somebody, well,
- 36:51Speaker 3: these trucks are coming in from here, and those have
- 36:54Speaker 3: to be out, and This is why I never get
- 36:58Speaker 3: salty with people when there's airline delays. Because, you know,
- 37:01Speaker 3: you make all these plans and do all your logistics
- 37:04Speaker 3: and then weather happens. Like the storms coming to the Gulf.
- 37:07Speaker 3: We'll get into storm prep coming up in a little
- 37:10Speaker 3: bit because we have so many affiliates. You know, the 1520,
- 37:15Speaker 3: the 1580, the game down in Pascagoula. And we're on
- 37:18Speaker 3: the Gulf Shores and Sarasota and Tampa. So a lot
- 37:25Speaker 3: of folks, stormy weather is coming. Even here in our
- 37:28Speaker 3: flagship city, you know, halfway through the United States, they're
- 37:32Speaker 3: expecting five, six inches of rain over the weekend by
- 37:36Speaker 3: the time Isaiah's finally, you know.
- 37:40Speaker 22: What?
- 37:40Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 37:40Speaker 3: So it's coming inland. Tennessee, some of our friends that
- 37:45Speaker 3: are still, you know, get their eyes twitchy over hurricanes
- 37:49Speaker 3: coming up the Tennessee Valley also. only just getting back
- 37:55Speaker 3: on the air after all the damages of Helene, are
- 37:58Speaker 3: hearing about another one that's going to come rambling.

- 40:57Speaker 27: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:02Speaker 27: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 27: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 27: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 27: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:21Speaker 27: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 27: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 27: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:32Speaker 27: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

- 43:32Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 15: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 43:39Speaker 15: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 43:42Speaker 15: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
- 43:45Speaker 15: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
- 43:47Speaker 25: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
- 43:50Speaker 25: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.

- 44:08Speaker 1: Here is the sound of thousands of snails.
- 44:12Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Tonk Meal Network.
- 44:16Speaker 8: It's straight ahead for the weatherman.
- 44:23Speaker 4: Said there's a storm coming.
- 44:26Speaker 5: I want to run and the pressure is low.
- 44:31Speaker 23: A storm coming.
- 44:33Speaker 3: So whether you're ready.
- 44:35Speaker 20: A storm coming on the way.
- 44:39Speaker 3: So many folks, you know, like I said, 1580, the
- 44:43Speaker 3: game down in Pascagoula. We're on the Gulf Shores. Folks
- 44:48Speaker 3: bracing for Isaiah's coming along. And the people inland, they
- 44:59Speaker 3: don't necessarily grasp what folks, you know, like the people
- 45:04Speaker 3: who live at WR, you know, in Daytona and listen
- 45:06Speaker 3: to us on Daytona Talk Radio. out at 95.1, or
- 45:17Speaker 3: tune in along the Gulf Shores in Alabama, Gulf Shores,
- 45:26Speaker 3: HEP down there, 1310. But you get up into, and
- 45:33Speaker 3: you start to get to Irwin, Tennessee, where we just
- 45:36Speaker 3: met our friends at WEMB. who had to rebuild everything
- 45:42Speaker 3: after Helene came up the valley and devastated them and
- 45:46Speaker 3: that whole area still to this day with families trying
- 45:49Speaker 3: to get relief from losing everything and waiting for bureaucrats
- 45:56Speaker 3: to determine whether their homes were damaged enough. And it
- 46:02Speaker 3: makes you mad when you catch fraudsters in whatever bureaucracy,
- 46:09Speaker 3: because those fraudsters are the reason it's hard for legit
- 46:13Speaker 3: folks who are trying to get help after a hurricane
- 46:16Speaker 3: to be able to get it. And they're talking about
- 46:20Speaker 3: it coming all the way up. Our friends in Chattanooga
- 46:24Speaker 3: on WAM and all the way up through our flagship here,
- 46:31Speaker 3: they're expecting five inches of rain on Sundays. All the
- 46:37Speaker 3: way through, and it's kind of tracking. Isaiah's not as
- 46:40Speaker 3: powerful as Helene was. Helene was Cat 5, I think,
- 46:43Speaker 3: when she came up a broadside of WGSO there in
- 46:47Speaker 3: New Orleans. God, is he just going to rattle off
- 46:50Speaker 3: every station he's on? I know, I'm just... But, you know,
- 46:55Speaker 3: this is key to us. Because the Gulf, we have
- 47:00Speaker 3: so many friends, and we haven't even talked about Beaumont, Texas, KAC.
- 47:06Speaker 3: THW Freedom 1300. There, all the way around through WBGS
- 47:14Speaker 3: and St. Pete. It's going to be a stormy weekend,
- 47:18Speaker 3: but folks in that area already get it. They understand
- 47:23Speaker 3: what battening down the hatches means. When I worked in Riverhead,
- 47:28Speaker 3: and we'll be on there tomorrow morning on WRCN, but
- 47:32Speaker 3: when I was there, it was a rock station. But
- 47:34Speaker 3: everyone knew. Everyone knew what to do. And you looked
- 47:39Speaker 3: out for the people who were new to the area
- 47:41Speaker 3: and maybe didn't know. When I was in Ocean City, Maryland,
- 47:47Speaker 3: I mean, hurricanes came across there every September and October. And,
- 47:54Speaker 3: you know, you could look around and you knew who
- 47:57Speaker 3: the regulars were, who the long timers were. And they
- 48:01Speaker 3: were buttoned up and they were battened down and they
- 48:05Speaker 3: were going to be okay. They had the generators gassed
- 48:08Speaker 3: up and everything. The other predictable part of these kind
- 48:14Speaker 3: of storms is the Democrats will come out and tell
- 48:17Speaker 3: you that they've got new plans to fight price gouging.
- 48:21Speaker 3: These are the same ones who won't cut the gas
- 48:23Speaker 3: tax over the last six months because it helps them
- 48:26Speaker 3: make Trump look bad. But I know you guys are
- 48:29Speaker 3: bracing for it, and it's going to be a bumpy weekend.
- 48:32Speaker 3: And Columbus Day is probably going to have a lot
- 48:35Speaker 3: of power outages. I'm dealing with it here. I'm trying
- 48:38Speaker 3: to get our local electric company to connect up my
- 48:41Speaker 3: flagship station's AM to electricity. And they're like, I don't know.
- 48:46Speaker 3: We might not be able to get to you until
- 48:48Speaker 3: the end of the week. Come in soon. I hope
- 48:50Speaker 3: they change their mind and do it today. They have
- 48:53Speaker 3: literally about an hour's worth of work, maybe two, to do.
- 48:57Speaker 3: But getting on the schedule is the thing because they're
- 48:59Speaker 3: marshalling trucks, both for storm damage here, but all these
- 49:04Speaker 3: electric companies, whether they're on the same grid or not,
- 49:08Speaker 3: they scramble to help. You know, Dominion Energy of Virginia,
- 49:14Speaker 3: I'm sure it'll be a lot easier once NextEra buys them.
- 49:17Speaker 3: We'll be down in Florida. We'll just be part of
- 49:20Speaker 3: the family. Georgia and all those places. Anyway, let me
- 49:25Speaker 3: get Dr. Clark is on the line. We were talking
- 49:27Speaker 3: about you earlier, Dr.
- 49:28Speaker 6: Clark.
- 49:28Speaker 3: Did you hear us?
- 49:31Speaker 21: I might have missed part of that while I was
- 49:32Speaker 21: doing treatments. I did catch the part about the horse
- 49:36Speaker 21: anatomy and.
- 49:39Speaker 6: The evolution there, right?
- 49:40Speaker 3: The horses, as it was explained to me, basically a
- 49:43Speaker 3: horse's hoof is the, the, is its middle finger.
- 49:48Speaker 21: And that's how appropriate that the horse gives the middle
- 49:52Speaker 21: finger to everybody runs.
- 49:54Speaker 3: Past them at far faster speed than you can run.
- 49:58Speaker 6: Well, you know, here's the thing.
- 50:01Speaker 21: If you were to do some comparative anatomy joke, Let's
- 50:06Speaker 21: say you go to a subdivision.
- 50:09Speaker 3: And let me just insert here. Clark, before you get
- 50:14Speaker 3: too far into this Friday morning talking about comparative anatomy
- 50:17Speaker 3: and horses, you know, just you guys all settle down, okay?
- 50:21Speaker 3: He's talking probably about their feet. So anyway, so you
- 50:25Speaker 3: go into the subdivision.
- 50:27Speaker 6: Go into a subdivision. And all the houses are different, right?
- 50:31Speaker 18: Right.
- 50:33Speaker 3: Um, not all the subdivisions. I know a lot of
- 50:35Speaker 3: the subdivisions around here.
- 50:37Speaker 21: Maybe you're in one where like every fourth house is
- 50:40Speaker 21: the same and like that, but they're not all different.
- 50:44Speaker 21: Every one of them's got a driveway. They've got a
- 50:47Speaker 21: front door. There's a kitchen, a dining room, a living room.
- 50:52Speaker 21: There's two or three bedrooms. One of them's the master bedroom.
- 50:57Speaker 3: We don't use that term. No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 50:59Speaker 3: It's the largest bedroom now, I think is what they
- 51:02Speaker 3: call it. We don't use master anymore.
- 51:05Speaker 6: Well, okay.
- 51:07Speaker 3: I'm joking. I call it whatever you want. It's Columbus
- 51:10Speaker 3: Day weekend, too.
- 51:12Speaker 21: Some of them might have a walk-in closet. Some of
- 51:16Speaker 21: the houses might have a sunken living room. There's going
- 51:20Speaker 21: to be minor differences in the layouts, but they're all
- 51:23Speaker 21: basically the same. Now, if you start looking at anatomy...
- 51:29Speaker 21: And start comparing. You know, a snake and a lizard
- 51:34Speaker 21: have two nostrils, same as you and I, Joe.
- 51:36Speaker 3: Are you saying that I have a lot of things
- 51:40Speaker 3: in common with a snake? You wouldn't be the first.
- 51:43Speaker 21: I'm thinking we've all got a lot of things in common.
- 51:47Speaker 21: There's one basic floor plan, and there's minor variations of that.
- 51:54Speaker 6: You know, you've got a cat.
- 51:56Speaker 21: Your kitty cat can stand flat-footed. and jump up on
- 52:00Speaker 21: top of your refrigerator if it wants to. Now, that
- 52:05Speaker 21: cat's anatomy is not that different than yours, but it
- 52:09Speaker 21: is different.
- 52:11Speaker 6: And if you look at where.
- 52:15Speaker 21: Your calf goes down your Achilles tendon and hooks into
- 52:19Speaker 21: your heel, that's just.
- 52:22Speaker 6: About an inch behind the long axis of of your
- 52:30Speaker 6: shin bone.
- 52:33Speaker 21: Your kitty cat, relative to you, that attachment sticks out
- 52:39Speaker 21: a lot further.
- 52:40Speaker 6: The lever there is tremendously different.
- 52:44Speaker 3: Oh, I see what you're getting at.
- 52:45Speaker 6: Now, kitty's also got a lot.
- 52:46Speaker 21: More fast twitch muscle, but basically the same anatomy.
- 52:51Speaker 22: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
- 52:54Speaker 22: leg to a roadside bomb.
- 52:55Speaker 15: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
- 52:58Speaker 15: weightlifting champion.
- 53:00Speaker 27: I'm Sam.
- 53:01Speaker 2: I'm a veteran.
- 53:02Speaker 15: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
- 53:04Speaker 15: of and supporting my family.
- 53:06Speaker 23: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
- 53:09Speaker 23: of their lives.
- 53:10Speaker 22: I'm a veteran.
- 53:11Speaker 2: My victory was going from homeless to home.
- 53:14Speaker 23: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
- 53:17Speaker 23: the benefits they've earned.
- 53:19Speaker 27: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
- 53:23Speaker 23: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
- 53:27Speaker 23: for victories great and small.
- 53:29Speaker 22: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
- 53:33Speaker 27: My victory was getting my service dog a new best friend.
- 53:36Speaker 23: We help more than a million veterans every year as
- 53:38Speaker 23: they face and conquer their challenges.
- 53:40Speaker 14: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
- 53:43Speaker 23: When America's veterans win, we all win. Help us support
- 53:47Speaker 23: more victories for veterans.
