  Speaker 1: How many times have you been in the car, you're
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: at a red light for just a brief moment, and
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: it wasn't enough time to switch podcasts? Because I am
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: a podcast listener. I know what it's like to be
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: so involved in a story. And then from out of nowhere,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it's like, I'm bored. I'm bored. I got to get
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: out of here. How can I find the next podcast
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: like right now? Well, you have to go searching. How
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: many platforms for it? How about this? Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: your exploration. Hey, it's me, that question guy. You know,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the dude that's always asking questions because it's so much
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: fun to do the research for answers. For instance, I've
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: been a radio dude for 47 years. I mean, we've
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: always had to keep logs or documents for government departments.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: So why do truckers have to keep logs? Plus, someone
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of decision-making fame in an office that tends to be
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit bigger on the planet than most, he
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: says that hunters can now take down wolves inside Yellowstone
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: National Park. That is not true at all. And we're
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: going to talk about it. My name is Arrow. I'm
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I happen to call it the daily mess because it's
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a chronological walkthrough in everyday world. It is my daily writing.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: When a subject arrives inside of me, dude, it is
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: time to dig in. No hemming and hawing. Get your
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: butt to work. It's still keeping that daily journal, but
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: by doing the research, the picture actually becomes clearer. This
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: is the daily mess. Why do truckers have to keep
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a written travel log? If not completed, they actually face fines.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Not just fined. but completely kicked out of service. Fill
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: out that time log. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Not everybody knows what the hell I'm even talking about here.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: The reason for the time log is 100% for their safety.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Federal laws limit how long a commercial driver can drive
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and how much time they spend off duty. The record,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: as it is called, it's now called the ELD, electronic
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: logging device. But in the early day chapters, everything was handwritten.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: It was designed to allow inspectors to determine whether the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: drivers had exceeded their limits. If the log isn't filled out,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: oh boy, the inspector can cite the driver for failing
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to have the proper records. Incomplete and inaccurate records are
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a violation. It's pretty much a written record of a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: trucker's path. Each state takes driving, working, and resting very seriously.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: This goes all the way back to 1935 when Congress
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: passed the Motor Carriage Act. Now, it reminds me so
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: much of my early days in radio. We're doing those
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: hourly logs. Oh, my God, if you didn't do it,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: it was bad news. We had our program logs. We
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: had our commercial logs. We had our transmitter logs. If
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you forgot to sign that thing, the program director, the GM,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: or even the engineer, they would turn into an ugly
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: green Hulk. Coming up next, is it true that hunters
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: can now go after wolves in Yellowstone National Park? We're
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: going to talk about it. Hey, thanks for coming back
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to The Daily Mess. Is it true that hunters can
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: now go after the wolves in Yellowstone National Park? I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: want you to listen to me right now. This is
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: not true. Did you hear that? It's not true. You
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: cannot go after the wolves in Yellowstone National Park. No
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: hunter is allowed to hunt wolves inside the park. But, but, but, but,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: here's where the rules kind of change. If the wolves
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: should leave the park, entering the state of Wyoming or
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: even Montana... They can legally be hunted down. It got
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a little scary recently when the infamous Molly's Pack was
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: caught outside Yellowstone National Park. They have since returned. But
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: if spotted, those hunters can do whatever they need to do.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Why are they wanting to even bring harm to the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: wolves of America? Well, it all depends on who you're
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: talking with. Hunters, ranchers, and state wildlife managers all have
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a need to protect their best interests, you know, livestock.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Wolves wipe out cattle, sheep, and other living things. And yes,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: there's even the typical competitions with gaming. This calms down
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the wilderness because you know how it is in your
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: own backyard. There's a lot of deer, there's elk, and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: other wildlife, and it's not just on the mountainsides of
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the nation. National parks need these wolves to keep the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: ecosystem in line. But the surrounding states, like I said,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: they're trying to protect their investments. But no, you cannot
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: hunt down a wolf inside any national park. I'm Errol,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and that's The Daily Mess.
