  Speaker 4: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:11
  Speaker 5: Joe works at the steel mill.
• 0:13
  Speaker 6: He's damn near every day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 7: Leads for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:18
  Speaker 8: Drops a kid to school in the normal world.
• 0:22
  Speaker 9: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:23
  Speaker 10: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:26
  Speaker 11: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:29
  Speaker 12: He only aims.
• 0:30
  Speaker 7: To please you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 9: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:37
  Speaker 9: this morning. The radio program that isn't afraid to identify
• 0:44
  Speaker 9: as a radio program because, well, most everybody, I think
• 0:49
  Speaker 9: 96% of all Americans listen to the radio. So why
• 0:51
  Speaker 9: would we be shy about that? I mean, if we
• 0:53
  Speaker 9: want to stay cool with the crowd, how about you
• 0:56
  Speaker 9: be my content creators? And then we can use that
• 0:59
  Speaker 9: as well. 434- 882-4217. I'll tell you what went on
• 1:05
  Speaker 9: last night, but I want to know how it is
• 1:07
  Speaker 9: impacting you where you are, because that's the most important
• 1:11
  Speaker 9: part of it. You're the most important local aspect of
• 1:15
  Speaker 9: the radio station. And you can text message to that number,
• 1:21
  Speaker 9: which is very popular. Eddie pointed out, because I asked
• 1:26
  Speaker 9: earlier to the crowd writ large, you know, if there's
• 1:32
  Speaker 9: amplitude modulation, AM, or frequency modulation, which is FM, what
• 1:37
  Speaker 9: is it called when you're listening to us online? And
• 1:41
  Speaker 9: he answered, digital modulation. I don't know, Eddie, that sounds
• 1:45
  Speaker 9: like something I'd have to do a few stations of
• 1:47
  Speaker 9: the cross for engaging in, but I'll go with it
• 1:51
  Speaker 9: for now, for lack of a better argument there. Joel,
• 1:57
  Speaker 9: we were asking about orgies. in the last segment. And
• 2:02
  Speaker 9: if you're joining us in progress and you hear me say,
• 2:04
  Speaker 9: we were talking about orgies in the last, it has
• 2:06
  Speaker 9: to do with the Cornell situation, but Joel actually wound
• 2:10
  Speaker 9: up and looked up online and boy, you know, the
• 2:13
  Speaker 9: cookies on your computer now are going to be interesting, Joel.
• 2:16
  Speaker 9: I'm curious to see what ads start popping up when
• 2:20
  Speaker 9: you start asking it, what, what are the participants in
• 2:23
  Speaker 9: an orgy called? And it's a screen capped or, or,
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: or GSTs. revelers, participants, and swingers. So there you go.
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: You've learned something. We've added to the vernacular. That's not
• 2:37
  Speaker 9: a vernacular.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: That's a doiby.
• 2:41
  Speaker 9: What, nobody remembers the Three Stooges anymore? Hello? Is this
• 2:46
  Speaker 9: thing on? McFly? McFly? Bueller? Anyway, so many of these things,
• 2:53
  Speaker 9: big doings. We spent a good bit of the weekend
• 2:56
  Speaker 9: getting caught up from our September 11th trip and our
• 2:59
  Speaker 9: podcast page is up to date and it's got the
• 3:02
  Speaker 9: chapters in it and all of that subscribe through Spotify
• 3:06
  Speaker 9: or Apple podcasts or whatever distribution Nexus you go through

  Speaker 9: and you'll get it sent to you right as it
• 3:13
  Speaker 9: happens FBI has arrested a woman at Los Angeles International
• 3:19
  Speaker 9: Airport as she was leaving the country and accused her
• 3:22
  Speaker 9: of spying on the Taiwanese president's family for China I
• 3:29
  Speaker 9: knew I was going to get... So her name is
• 3:32
  Speaker 9: Wenying Zhang, who's... This is from the news coverage. Wenying Zhang,
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: also known as Heather, not making this up, surveilled the
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: Taiwanese president's son and his family for the Chinese government
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: while in the United States. Zhang, 34, was arrested on
• 3:56
  Speaker 9: charges for working for China as an unregistered agent. Zhang
• 4:03
  Speaker 9: took photos and videos of her targets and sent license
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: plate information to her Chinese bosses. The U.S. Air Force
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: had brought home its bombers that were stationed at Royal
• 4:15
  Speaker 9: Air Force Fairford. This after a report, and Marco Rubio
• 4:21
  Speaker 9: said it over the weekend, he said there are state
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: sponsors of this terror plot, but he didn't say which ones.
• 4:30
  Speaker 9: OPEC Plus is not the same thing as LGBTQ Plus,
• 4:34
  Speaker 9: but it's more dire to all of us. They say
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: they're going to keep steady the current exportation of oil,
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: OPEC standing for Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, includes Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria,
• 4:54
  Speaker 9: and Oman. Some of them like us, some of them don't.
• 4:58
  Speaker 9: They'll meet again on November 1st to see if this
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: has had the necessary impact on the midterm elections. Meanwhile,
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: I mean, well, they'll see how the oil market is,
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: is what they said. Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels apparently got
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: hold of ballistic missiles. Where did they come from? also
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: a whole bunch of drones, and they used them to
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: attack the Saudi Aramco sites in Riyadh and Quraish. According
• 5:26
  Speaker 9: to the Houthis and their press secretary, the New York Times,
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: they caused major fires, and it was all in response
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: to Saudi-led coalition air and missile strikes in Yemen. Flavio
• 5:43
  Speaker 9: Bolsonaro is ahead, but not by enough to win the
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: presidency in Brazil. He has about 57 million votes. And
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: incumbent Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva has 53 million votes.
• 5:59
  Speaker 9: Neither got to the 50-point threshold, so there will be
• 6:03

  Speaker 13: with MediShare and that's huge, but it's also true that
• 7:19
  Speaker 13: people wind up way more satisfied too. We know this
• 7:22
  Speaker 13: from research of members. There's a lot they like about MediShare,
• 7:25
  Speaker 13: but especially they love being part of something they believe in.

  Speaker 12: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 12: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 9:08
  Speaker 12: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 14: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 12: Your favorite half breakfast pastry, half all-day dessert food made
• 9:20
  Speaker 12: into your favorite form of ear candy. Oh, my. Those
• 9:24
  Speaker 12: bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 15: Shh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 9:32
  Speaker 12: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 12: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 9:41
  Speaker 12: training and more.
• 9:43
  Speaker 17: So go forth.
• 9:45
  Speaker 12: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so.
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: Much good to your community. Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 12: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 18: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 18: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 18: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 18: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 18: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 18: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:23
  Speaker 18: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 18: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 18: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 18: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: Eat better.
• 10:42

• 10:56
  Speaker 9: is not a limitation.
• 10:58

  Speaker 8: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 12: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 13: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 17: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: Cramp!
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 9: Probably.
• 12:23
  Speaker 17: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 9: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay. Probably okay
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking and driving.
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: Buzzed driving is drunk driving.
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: A message brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

  Speaker 4: News and analysis, now without artificial colors. First Thing Today
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:18
  Speaker 15: Everybody have fun tonight.
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: You see, you see. So this is how we get
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: a reputation. You know, it's it's weighing Jung is Heather's.
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: I still I'm still fascinated how that becomes Heather. And
• 13:48
  Speaker 9: how somebody said, sure, we'll call you Heather. But, you know, don't,
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: we have to maintain some level of gravitas, aren't you?
• 14:01
  Speaker 9: Because really, I mean, the trouble with, you know, Chinese
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: spying is 20 minutes later, you're hungry for more information.
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: And of course, the inbox is full of Eric Swalwell stories.
• 14:20
  Speaker 9: I like this, this one. from Mary listening out on
• 14:26
  Speaker 9: the Inland Empire on KMET.
• 14:29
  Speaker 22: She said, you see, Eric Swalwell loses his job, and
• 14:33
  Speaker 22: now we have all these free agent CHICOM spies running
• 14:40
  Speaker 22: around California.
• 14:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, it's unintended consequences. I really, you know,
• 14:46
  Speaker 9: I appreciate that. But so why.
• 14:51
  Speaker 9: Why this urgency over Taiwan? So if China is spying
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: on the Taiwanese president, what is the intent of this?
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 15:02
  Speaker 9: So the existence of the spying is notable. But what
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: are they looking to do? Are they trying to figure
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: out a pattern so somebody can be waiting, you know,
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: in a dark alley that the president of... And what
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: does that do to Taiwan? Why would China want to
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: inflame this situation? Most people in this country want it
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: just to go away. Most people view Taiwan, as I
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: said on this program last week, Taiwan is to China
• 15:35
  Speaker 9: what Israel is to the Muslim, the Islamists in the world,
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: to the Arab countries. And in the case of the
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: efforts we've put forth on behalf of Israel, we have
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: actually won over, go back to 20 years, go back
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: before Trump was elected president and look at how many
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: Arab nations were our friends. Even under the Obama administration,
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: and he went and he knelt down and bowed and
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: scraped and apologized for the U.S. And they still didn't
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: like him. And they really didn't like Biden. probably because
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: Hunter was sitting on all their boards showing up, you know,
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: like a Cornell flat frat boy or something. Ellen writes
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: in those Cornell idiots didn't do anything. You can't find
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: on an only fans page, you know, and this is
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: one of the reasons that we lampoon this excreble commerce
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: is that, you know, somehow, we're being told that women
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: debasing themselves is okay until it's not. And that's the
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: problem with, you know, raising young people to be good
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: adult people is that you have wants, desires, we all do,
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: understanding them, understanding their context and understanding their impact on
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: other people are part of the whole becoming an adult.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: And I should make this point clear about something. Clark
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: asked us earlier about the efficacy of the fraternal system.
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: The fraternal system is, in many ways, shapes and forms
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: the way that high school kids are brought into campus.
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: As a matter of fact, a little bit later on,
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: our friends from a fraternal organization, though not, quote, a fraternity,
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: The Foundation of Christian Athletes is going to join us
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: from the hills of Best, Virginia.
• 17:45
  Speaker 21: What?
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: Oh, no, that's what they call themselves, especially in conversation
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: with those of us in Old Virginia. But, you know,
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: there are communities of like interest. There are roles to
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: play of the fraternal organizations. Many of them raise children.
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: thousands and thousands of dollars for charity. You can argue
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: is that because of or in spite of the reputation
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: that the fraternal, the Greek system, if you will, has
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: on these campuses. But it's had been in its best
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: intents a way to start to transition the young people
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: who had been taking care of mommy and daddy into
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: a world of being responsible adults was really the original intent.
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: And I think like all things, there are good participants
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: and bad participants in it. And I'm not making an
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: excuse for them, but we see in this particular story,
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: what's playing out now are the worst scenarios that take
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: place in the Greek system on both sides of the gender.
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: But Ellen's point about, you know, nothing you don't see
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: on OnlyFans is a good point. I mean, heck, OnlyFans
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: has become part of pop culture now as Sidney Sweeney
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: and her good genes are. It was the housemaid or
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: whatever the show she does. I don't I don't watch.
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: I just know as an arbiter of pop culture. that
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: she does this show called that, and in this she's
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: taking care of the house, she's looking after the kids,
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: and they catch her doing only fans' videos, obviously creatively
• 19:41
  Speaker 9: cropped and edited so that you only see the fact
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: that she's videotaping herself in what appears to be naked-ity.
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: And so here it is, pop culture. This is Overton Window.
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: The idea of amateur pornography isn't new. I mean, how
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: many kids have been caught with pictures on their phones
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: or sexting? And all of this stuff has just created
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: this callousness to this, but let's not also discount the
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: existence of Mifepristone. See, now I'm participating in it. It's okay.
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: Do what you want. There's a pill for that. It's
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: like saying, it's okay. Go hang out with people with COVID.
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: We have a shot for that. Engage in, you know,
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: extramarital unprotected sex. We have a pill for that. So there's, interestingly,
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: the same people like Kathy Hochul, who will march up
• 20:43
  Speaker 9: and down the street in pink hats demanding women's rights
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: to sexual health care, then decry this as some fruit
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: of some strange tree that they don't have any part in.
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: I'm sorry, I'm not buying that. Good morning, you're on
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: the air with Joe. First thing this morning, who's this?
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Hey, this is Moscow Bob, and can I change the
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: subject for just a second or two?
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: Well, I'll tell you what. Hang on to that change
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: of subject. I'll see your change of subject and up
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: you a different story altogether. Absolutely. Go ahead. Tell me
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: what you want to change it to because we've got
• 21:23
  Speaker 9: the news trundling up on us here. And then when
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: we come back, we'll hear it.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of hearing of Nick Saban. Yes, Nick Saban
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: says he retired because he didn't like where things were going.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: He didn't like where things were going because the playing
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: field was being equaled, and he couldn't cheat anymore and
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: pay the players more than what he could get the players.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: That's the only reason he won all those championships, not
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: because he was an excellent coach, but because he was
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: able to circumvent the system, pay players, have their– Alumni
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: board buying things.
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: Allegedly, of course, we have to remind.

  Speaker 25: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
• 23:07
  Speaker 25: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:12
  Speaker 25: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
• 23:17
  Speaker 25: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 25: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,

  Speaker 25: with any new technology, always keep a human in the
• 23:41
  Speaker 25: loop to maintain the best pet health care. AI is

  Speaker 1: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

• 27:56
  Speaker 23: It's on.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: Kickoff blocked.
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: It was so bad. All right. Something is, something is wrong.
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: Something is run amiss and I can't play our entree here,
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: but so you'll have to take my word for it.
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: This is first thing today by Joe Thomas and something,
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: something is there's a ghost in the latrine. As we
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: used to say, when our sales manager used to show
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: up early in the morning, there it is. So, So
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: for the folks who only believe this is actual when
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: they hear the branding.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: There you go. Now you know who you're talking about.
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: That's much better.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: Yes, there he is. He's a man. Boy, we just
• 28:53
  Speaker 9: got Nick Saban speaking of turkeys. A guy, Bob in Moscow,
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: called and he's like, Nick Saban's only mad. Because Nick Saban,
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: you know, quit because he couldn't cheat anymore and get
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: all the kids to come to Alabama for, quote unquote,
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: their own name image likeness. I said, you know, if
• 29:11
  Speaker 9: you want me to go to that part of central Alabama,
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: you know, there's got to be an incentive to it.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be.
• 29:18
  Speaker 15: And plus, his documentary is this week. It's an eight-part,
• 29:23
  Speaker 15: I think, six-part, eight-part, something like that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: No, really, he has a documentary to sell. What a surprise.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a big thing.
• 29:30
  Speaker 15: It goes back to his days at West Virginia when
• 29:32
  Speaker 15: he played. A lot of the stories I think we've
• 29:34
  Speaker 15: heard a thousand times, but it should be good because
• 29:38
  Speaker 15: people don't realize the Kent State shootings when the National
• 29:43
  Speaker 15: Guard showed up on campus whatever year that was which
• 29:47
  Speaker 15: I should know the year 68 I think but but
• 29:49
  Speaker 15: that's when Nick Saban stood in his football office and
• 29:52
  Speaker 15: watched it and he'll probably tell that he'll probably tell
• 29:55
  Speaker 15: that story you know Ten soldiers and Nixon's coming.
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: Five dead in Ohio. You know, Crosby, Stills, Nash.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: So it should be good.
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: Crazy day. I got to go back Friday night, first
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: of all.
• 30:07
  Speaker 15: And if you didn't, if you were out of the
• 30:10
  Speaker 15: world or, you know, you're on another planet and you
• 30:12
  Speaker 15: missed what happened. And then, you know, finally the ACC
• 30:16
  Speaker 15: revealed something I had never heard before.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: There were a thousand different angles.
• 30:21
  Speaker 15: But anyway, this happened Friday night when it was an
• 30:25
  Speaker 15: 11-point lead. Once again, Tech erased the 11-point lead, had
• 30:29
  Speaker 15: a chance to go 5-0, but this happened.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Snap back, hold that, kick out its way.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: 15, no good!
• 30:43
  Speaker 15: Pitt survives and wins it.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, 35-33 was that final, and there were all kinds
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: of angles.
• 30:50
  Speaker 15: But what I did not know is that there is
• 30:53
  Speaker 15: a rule that states, stay with me, if a field
• 30:56
  Speaker 15: goal attempt travels higher than the top of the uprights
• 30:59
  Speaker 15: in college football, the entire ball must pass strictly between
• 31:03
  Speaker 15: the inside edges of the uprights extended.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Any kick going directly over the outside of the upright.
• 31:09
  Speaker 22: Is ruled out.
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: No good.
• 31:11
  Speaker 15: The ball must pass completely inside the imaginary vertical infinite
• 31:16
  Speaker 15: extension of the inside edge of the uprights.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Who writes these rules?
• 31:20
  Speaker 15: So if any part of the football travels directly above
• 31:24
  Speaker 15: the physical upright or its vertical extension, it is treated
• 31:29
  Speaker 15: as a miss.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: No good.
• 31:30
  Speaker 15: On top of that, the ACC said, well, we can't
• 31:33
  Speaker 15: review it. Because it's a rule and the love kid
• 31:37
  Speaker 15: who kicked it for Virginia Tech, the ball actually went
• 31:40
  Speaker 15: above the upright. Now, there was all kinds of viral telephone,
• 31:47
  Speaker 15: iPhone videos of the kick.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: And there was an end zone view that looked like.
• 31:55
  Speaker 15: that it was good, but there's another one that USA
• 31:59
  Speaker 15: Today published, I think it was them, which would have
• 32:02
  Speaker 15: been on the opposite 35-40 yard line, somebody sitting on
• 32:06
  Speaker 15: the other side of the stadium, but the angle is
• 32:11
  Speaker 15: perfect and shows that it was a little left anyway
• 32:14
  Speaker 15: above the upright. So say what you want, but the ACC,
• 32:17
  Speaker 15: and so the ACC, they have a camera underneath But
• 32:22
  Speaker 15: that camera, they, and so, but it was a non-reviewable.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: Play, according to the Atlantic Coast Conference. So they couldn't
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: have even taken a look at it.
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: This is, we talked about this earlier.
• 32:32
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: Not about sports per se, but, you know, how people,
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: when they have perspective, they just like, this is where
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: you expect the head coach to come out and say, Yeah,
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: the three turnovers had more to do with us losing
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: the game.
• 32:45
  Speaker 15: Well, and James Franklin basically said that. No, Joe, that's
• 32:49
  Speaker 15: a great point. James Franklin basically said it. And when
• 32:52
  Speaker 15: he was asked the question, he said, look, from my angle,
• 32:57
  Speaker 15: I couldn't tell. He says, I really couldn't tell. And
• 33:00
  Speaker 15: if the officials called it no good, then it must
• 33:03
  Speaker 15: have been no good.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Franklin was great.
• 33:06
  Speaker 15: You know, and just, you know, later on in his
• 33:09
  Speaker 15: discussion of postgame, he said, yeah, the three turnovers and blah, blah, blah.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: You know, it made a big difference.
• 33:14
  Speaker 15: Now, a guy who really showed his backside was Pat Narduzzi,
• 33:19
  Speaker 15: who should have said something about it in his postgame interview,
• 33:23
  Speaker 15: but instead it was all about the Panthers.
• 33:26
  Speaker 29: Wow.
• 33:26
  Speaker 16: Wow.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: We got a hell of a football team.
• 33:28
  Speaker 29: Now, any of those voters out there, if they wake
• 33:31
  Speaker 29: their ass up, they might.
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: Figure that out.
• 33:33
  Speaker 29: And I'll tell you what, we beat a damn good
• 33:35
  Speaker 29: football team in Virginia Tech, but I can't say enough.
• 33:39
  Speaker 29: We got four turnovers defensively. Offense made plays when they
• 33:43
  Speaker 29: needed to, and we got that dub.
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: And the voters were cowed into submission. He made it
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: into the top 25.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Hey, Pat, you could have said something. All right.
• 33:56
  Speaker 15: Now, if that wasn't enough of controversy going on on
• 34:01
  Speaker 15: Friday night, Padres manager Craig Stammen told the media, quote,
• 34:06
  Speaker 15: we joked today at the umpires meeting about what would
• 34:09
  Speaker 15: happen if a ball hit the roof.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: It's unlikely, but it could happen.
• 34:14
  Speaker 15: Well, it's the second time this year that the Padres
• 34:16
  Speaker 15: were victimized by a roof. The catwalks at Tropicana Field
• 34:20
  Speaker 15: obstructed a Xander Bogart's drive in a game against the
• 34:23
  Speaker 15: Tampa Bay Rays. And then, of course, we all know
• 34:26
  Speaker 15: what happened because, you know, the shot, Trevor McGill retired
• 34:32
  Speaker 15: the next batter, Jackson Merrily, in the game after it
• 34:35
  Speaker 15: was all said and done.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: But it was the ball hit by France.
• 34:39
  Speaker 15: Looked to be that it was the go-ahead home run,
• 34:41
  Speaker 15: but it hit the roof, it was caught, and it
• 34:43
  Speaker 15: was ruled out. Just one of the crazier nights.
• 34:49
  Speaker 9: Playing indoors. That's right.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: This is where we are.
• 34:54
  Speaker 9: Luckily, they didn't break one of mom's vases while they.
• 34:57
  Speaker 15: Were And not only that, it was the ninth inning,
• 35:01
  Speaker 15: American family field, the high fly ball, might have been
• 35:04
  Speaker 15: the go-ahead runs, hit the roof, caught, so on and
• 35:07
  Speaker 15: so forth. So it was a weekend of just oddities.
• 35:12
  Speaker 15: Then the New York Jets... which I have a real
• 35:15
  Speaker 15: good friend, and we normally get together on Sunday for
• 35:18
  Speaker 15: an iced tea and.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: Lunch, and we watch the 1 o'clock games.
• 35:22
  Speaker 15: The New York Jets have finally ended their interception drought
• 35:26
  Speaker 15: 637 days. It was in the second quarter, Minka Fitzpatrick
• 35:31
  Speaker 15: intercepted Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Badgett, and it was the
• 35:34
  Speaker 15: Jets' first INT since January 5th, 2025. Now, if that's
• 35:39
  Speaker 15: not enough, Vikings, Dolphins, and this happened.
• 35:44
  Speaker 30: This season, Malik Willis navigating third down. Pressure coming and
• 35:48
  Speaker 30: flags fly. Play stops before it starts. And then the official,
• 35:54
  Speaker 30: Adrian Hill, got run over. Eric Wilson running over our referee,
• 36:02

  Speaker 30: Defense 15 unimpeded to the quarterback.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Five yard penalty.
• 36:14
  Speaker 15: Then he got up and made the call.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: So anyway, he was not happy with Wilson. Told Wilson
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: to go back to their.
• 36:22
  Speaker 9: Conscious proprioception.
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: I had to go back and listen to that. Contra
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: is something. Anyway, I'm going to have to look that up.

  Speaker 9: Which are most of them.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: They clobbered clobbered Florida. John. So, I mean, and John
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: Summerall was really good.
• 37:01
  Speaker 15: Cause as I said, I'm, I'm really in the, in
• 37:03
  Speaker 15: the John Summerall camp, but I thought, I thought Florida's
• 37:06
  Speaker 15: offense would be, you know, I thought they would be,
• 37:08
  Speaker 15: would be dynamite at the end, but I mean, it just,
• 37:12
  Speaker 15: you know, it didn't happen.
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: It didn't happen. He given Saturday there.

  Speaker 20: According to a new report from Discovery Education, 92% of
• 38:05
  Speaker 20: students say that engaging lessons make school more fun, and
• 38:08
  Speaker 20: more than 90% of educators said engagement is critical for
• 38:11
  Speaker 20: student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning, but gaps
• 38:16
  Speaker 20: remain about how to achieve, measure, and sustain students' interest
• 38:19
  Speaker 20: in the classroom. Although 63% of students agreed that students
• 38:23
  Speaker 20: are highly engaged in school, Only 45% of teachers and
• 38:27
  Speaker 20: 51% of principals surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators
• 38:32
  Speaker 20: disagreed on the top indicators of engagement. 72% of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 20: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 20: while 54% of superintendents rate performing well on assessments as
• 38:45
  Speaker 20: a top engagement indicator. Also, two-thirds of students said they
• 38:49
  Speaker 20: believed that AI could help them learn faster, yet fewer
• 38:52
  Speaker 20: than half of teachers report using AI themselves to complete tasks.

• 39:09
  Speaker 1: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

  Speaker 31: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 31: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 31: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 31: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 31: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 31: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 31: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

  Speaker 4: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:19
  Speaker 9: Yes, I do. I mentioned this group before. The Fellowship
• 44:32
  Speaker 9: of Christian Athletes. Rob Dowdy sitting down with us. Rob Dowdy,
• 44:37
  Speaker 9: former West Virginia star, now out there starring for a
• 44:41
  Speaker 9: lot of kids who are coming into athletics. First off,
• 44:46
  Speaker 9: thank you for helping them get that perspective, Rob. That's
• 44:50
  Speaker 9: your blessing.
• 44:51
  Speaker 21: Thank you for having me on here. It's a wonderful
• 44:53
  Speaker 21: question that I love to share. I was an athlete
• 44:56
  Speaker 21: at West Virginia University. And we had a chaplain.
• 44:59
  Speaker 9: They have universities in West Virginia?
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: As surprising as it is.
• 45:03
  Speaker 9: My friends in West Virginia call it Best Virginia, by
• 45:05
  Speaker 9: the way.
• 45:05
  Speaker 21: It is indeed Best Virginia. They don't call it Almost
• 45:08
  Speaker 21: Heaven for no reason. Coming from Columbus, Ohio, I'd never
• 45:13
  Speaker 21: been that high before. So I felt like I was
• 45:16
  Speaker 21: touching heaven being in those mountains. But, yes, so as
• 45:20
  Speaker 21: I was playing football out there, I met our FCA chaplain,
• 45:24
  Speaker 21: and he invited me to a huddle. Funny enough, I
• 45:27
  Speaker 21: tell and joke around with people and say Chick-fil-A is
• 45:30
  Speaker 21: part of my salvation story. And so he invited me
• 45:37
  Speaker 21: and said, hey, you know, you should come and check
• 45:40
  Speaker 21: out our Bible study. And I was like, no, I'm
• 45:42
  Speaker 21: a freshman. I'm trying to get settled.
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: And actually trying to get some snaps, you know, extra.
• 45:50
  Speaker 21: Work, all the things. But also a few days prior,
• 45:55
  Speaker 21: I had a family incident that a family member had
• 45:59
  Speaker 21: gotten shot. They luckily lived, but was wrestling through that.
• 46:03
  Speaker 21: And so the Lord came in and just moved through him.
• 46:11
  Speaker 21: And he was like, hey, man, we'll have as many
• 46:14
  Speaker 21: Chick-fil-A sandwiches as you want. And I was like, hey, man,
• 46:17
  Speaker 21: I'll see you at 8.
• 46:18
  Speaker 9: AM or PM? 8 PM. Okay. You talk about your
• 46:27
  Speaker 9: story is so familiar to, I think, a lot of folks.
• 46:31
  Speaker 9: When you think about the issues that face young people,
• 46:39
  Speaker 9: they go off to school. They're in an unfamiliar place.
• 46:43
  Speaker 9: A lot of unfamiliar voices in their head. And I
• 46:47
  Speaker 9: want to talk about the other aspect of humility and
• 46:49
  Speaker 9: the things that a biblical grounding can help an athlete
• 46:54
  Speaker 9: with when they come out of high school and they've
• 46:57
  Speaker 9: never been tackled for a loss until they get to
• 46:59
  Speaker 9: the next level or anything like that. And the world
• 47:03
  Speaker 9: wakes them up. But talk about the fear that even somebody,
• 47:09
  Speaker 9: a successful athlete, and I'm sure in your high school
• 47:12
  Speaker 9: career you were a BMOC athlete. And now you're in
• 47:17
  Speaker 9: West Virginia, don't know anybody. And talk about, you know,
• 47:23
  Speaker 9: being able to find a community that helps you get
• 47:25
  Speaker 9: through that fear. Oh, yeah.
• 47:27
  Speaker 21: I mean, it's transformative to have a community, to have
• 47:31
  Speaker 21: a group. You know, you come into school and as
• 47:34
  Speaker 21: a freshman in college, particularly on a football team, you know,
• 47:38
  Speaker 21: you kind of get adopted into a community of, you know,
• 47:42
  Speaker 21: 160 guys, at least in a locker room, right? But
• 47:44
  Speaker 21: it's not yet community to you.
• 47:47
  Speaker 9: I mean, the coach was in your house recruiting you
• 47:50
  Speaker 9: by himself. And then all of a sudden it's like
• 47:52
  Speaker 9: you're one of 160. Yeah.
• 47:53
  Speaker 23: Right.
• 47:54
  Speaker 21: And that's the thing is, you know, usually everyone has
• 47:57
  Speaker 21: the experience of like, welcome to college football.
• 47:59
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 48:01
  Speaker 21: And for me, it was, you know, pretty early on,
• 48:05
  Speaker 21: you know, it was just trying to find that community,
• 48:09
  Speaker 21: trying to make myself known, trying to, prove myself, right,
• 48:13
  Speaker 21: all these different things, and working myself almost to death
• 48:18
  Speaker 21: and trying to make myself known. And so the anxiety,
• 48:23
  Speaker 21: I mean, is crazy because you come from being the
• 48:26
  Speaker 21: big fish in a small pond at your local high
• 48:28
  Speaker 21: school to then being a small fish in a big
• 48:31
  Speaker 21: pond on a national stage.
• 48:34
  Speaker 9: And so.
• 48:35
  Speaker 21: Um, you know, they don't really prepare.
• 48:38
  Speaker 9: You for that.
• 48:38
  Speaker 21: There's no class that you can take, you know, you
• 48:41
  Speaker 21: get hit in the mouth and you get back up
• 48:43
  Speaker 21: and you try to figure it out.
• 48:45
  Speaker 9: But, but also this is, I know I've read so
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: many stories because, you know, there seems to be not
• 48:50
  Speaker 9: enough room in all the libraries of the world to
• 48:52
  Speaker 9: tell the stories of athletes that go the wrong direction.
• 48:54
  Speaker 9: Oh yes. And they, they, they listened to the wrong
• 48:58
  Speaker 9: guy in the wrong dorm. And the next thing, you know,
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: I mean, I just watched, what was it? The Netflix
• 49:03
  Speaker 9: documentary series Untold, and they're talking about Johnny Manziel. And
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: he's completely still unapologetic. He'll say, oh, I went wrong there.
• 49:14
  Speaker 9: It's been great since then. Yeah, I did it. He
• 49:18
  Speaker 9: recognizes but doesn't apologize for the people he let down
• 49:23
  Speaker 9: and things like that. But in himself, first and foremost.
• 49:27
  Speaker 9: But there must be so many athletes that are saved that.
• 49:31
  Speaker 9: by being part of the fellowship of Christian athletes. Absolutely.
• 49:34
  Speaker 21: And I think that was a large majority of my story,
• 49:38
  Speaker 21: not only salvation of my soul, but I mean, just
• 49:40
  Speaker 21: my football career, there were certain activities that I, I
• 49:43
  Speaker 21: didn't engage in because I was kind of known as
• 49:47
  Speaker 21: the FCA kid, right? You know, it's like, don't invite
• 49:51
  Speaker 21: Rob to the thing. Like he's the FCA kid, like,
• 49:54
  Speaker 21: you know? And so it was like, There were times
• 49:57
  Speaker 21: where I tried to break out of that, and people
• 49:59
  Speaker 21: held me accountable of like, no, that's not you.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 50:02
  Speaker 21: You're the FCA guy. Stay the FCA guy. And now
• 50:06
  Speaker 21: I would be, you know, kind of confused.
• 50:08
  Speaker 9: That's kind of an honor, though, isn't it? I guess
• 50:13
  Speaker 9: what we all aspire to is to be a good example,
• 50:16
  Speaker 9: not a horrible warning. Amen. And so when you go
• 50:21
  Speaker 9: and you talk to a high school kid, And I've
• 50:23
  Speaker 9: told this story. My listeners have heard this, but they're
• 50:25
  Speaker 9: going to hear it again, hear it again, hear it again.
• 50:29
  Speaker 9: My high school football team, the four years I was
• 50:32
  Speaker 9: in high school, 42 and two, 42 wins, two losses.
• 50:37
  Speaker 9: The only two losses were in the city championship game.
• 50:40
  Speaker 9: We had two wins in the city championship game.
• 50:43
  Speaker 21: That's impressive.
• 50:45
  Speaker 9: One player played on Sundays, started maybe a couple of games,
• 50:50
  Speaker 9: mostly special teams. Everyone else, kids from bad parts of
• 50:56
  Speaker 9: our city. By the way, the city was called New York.
• 50:58
  Speaker 9: You might have heard of it. Pretty big, you know.
• 51:01
  Speaker 9: So a lot of the kids used that, though. Cornell, Iowa,
• 51:08
  Speaker 9: you know, big schools, Rutgers, schools that said, come play ball.
• 51:13
  Speaker 9: But they got engineering degrees. They got legal degrees. And
• 51:17
  Speaker 9: then they came back to their communities to help. it's,
• 51:20
  Speaker 9: it's such an important story. And I don't think the kids,
• 51:23
  Speaker 9: I don't think there was a fellowship of Christian athletes
• 51:25
  Speaker 9: at Bayside high school in the day. Um, so God
• 51:29
  Speaker 9: bless him for going to, you know, getting the right
• 51:31
  Speaker 9: choices done then. But when you go in and you
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: talk to these high school kids who think, like you said,
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: you know, I, I am it. Um, Do they understand
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: at that point, or are you just sort of planting
• 51:45
  Speaker 9: a seed that they'll realize a year or two from
• 51:48
  Speaker 9: now is you were right all along?
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it depends, right?
• 51:52
  Speaker 21: You have those who have the ears to hear and
• 51:55
  Speaker 21: the eyes to see, and they're like, oh, yeah, I
• 51:59
  Speaker 21: can see myself getting in trouble. Let me choose something different.
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: Maybe you sound like somebody's dad, but you're a little younger.
• 52:07
  Speaker 21: A little younger, right? And that also plays a factor.
• 52:10
  Speaker 21: How long ago did you actually play college ball?
• 52:13
  Speaker 9: You know, they're like, before they.
• 52:14
