  Speaker 6: May is National Movie Month? Must confess I did not.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: I've moved in lots of months. Uh so, I don't
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: know about this. But Ryan Snyder from National Moving Month
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: Organization and the Trucking Association is on with us.
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: Good morning morning. How are you sir?
• 14:20

  Speaker 6: do do do our rents all go up in April?
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: What we How did May become National Moving Month?
• 14:35
  Speaker 22: You know that's that's a great question, Joe. So you know,
• 14:38
  Speaker 22: thinking about like college students right here in Charlotteville, a
• 14:41
  Speaker 22: lot of graduation happens in in May, folks hopefully moving
• 14:46
  Speaker 22: across state lines for new uh, for new job opportunities,
• 14:51
  Speaker 22: houses for sale, a lot more so in the summertime,
• 14:54
  Speaker 22: Spring and summertime than maybe, you know, January February, and
• 14:58
  Speaker 22: we just see a huge spike of moving between the
• 15:01
  Speaker 22: months of May and September.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: No, I and you say it that way, it makes
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: all the sense in the world. Ryan is director of
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: Governmental and Legislative Affairs for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: Administration And and I'm sure much of that covers other
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: businesses besides moving, But you know what, what things should you?
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: I've moved both at my own hands, and I've had
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: moving companies help me move. Which is more prevalent. Do
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: more people move themselves or is it more frequently people
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: are bringing in the big box truck and help having
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: them all loaded up.
• 15:43
  Speaker 22: Yeah, No, it's a it's a good question, Joe, and
• 15:46
  Speaker 22: and I don't have exact data, but I can tell
• 15:49
  Speaker 22: you that when you're moving across state lines, I am
• 15:53
  Speaker 22: almost certain that you're going to be hiring a moving company.
• 15:56
  Speaker 22: And you know, as here at FMC, you say we
• 15:58
  Speaker 22: are our primary is in safety, but we also want
• 16:02
  Speaker 22: to help consumers prepare for this move and moving is
• 16:05
  Speaker 22: a stressful point. As I'm sure you remember. Moving it's
• 16:09
  Speaker 22: the most pleasant thing that we do in the world.
• 16:11
  Speaker 22: But we want to help, you know, Americans be prepared
• 16:16
  Speaker 22: and protect their families as they move and try to
• 16:19
  Speaker 22: catch any companies looking to scam them as they're making
• 16:23
  Speaker 22: the stressful undertaking in their lives.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: Now, you have a website, it's called protect Your Move
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: dot gov. Is this that stuff I read about and
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: you know, I skip news feeds and they talk about
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: hostage loads and things like that.
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: Is that what you're talking about?
• 16:38
  Speaker 22: Yeah, No, that's exactly what we're talking about here, Joe.
• 16:43
  Speaker 22: Under leadership of President Trump, Secretary Duffie Administer Your Bars
• 16:46
  Speaker 22: FMCSA is looking to crack down on our efforts on
• 16:50
  Speaker 22: catching these scam movers. And scams can look like everything
• 16:53
  Speaker 22: from extorting customers who are demanding more money than what
• 16:59
  Speaker 22: they originally agreed upon.
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 17:01
  Speaker 22: Sometimes that's looking like holding their entire livelihood and their
• 17:04
  Speaker 22: houses hostage, you know, during the move, or even simply
• 17:08
  Speaker 22: not complying with federal safety standards that we have for
• 17:13
  Speaker 22: moving companies. So there's a lot of red flags that
• 17:17
  Speaker 22: customers should be on the lookout for as they're moving
• 17:20
  Speaker 22: across state.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: Lines, you know, and is obviously listed there at protect
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: your move dot gov. What are some of the common ones?
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: Is it you know, you know, asking for you know,
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: money upfront, Is it's you know, too easy going about
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: pay schedule?
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: What? What are some of the red flags?
• 17:40
  Speaker 22: Yeah, no, it's a great question, you know. Some of
• 17:42
  Speaker 22: some of the biggest red flags. We see moving companies
• 17:46
  Speaker 22: giving you a quote without understanding what's actually being moved
• 17:51
  Speaker 22: or seeing the house right. So most of the times
• 17:55
  Speaker 22: when you're going to hire a moving company, they're going
• 17:57
  Speaker 22: to say how many bedrooms are we looking to move?
• 18:00
  Speaker 22: How many floors are we looking to move? Are there
• 18:01
  Speaker 22: any stairs? If moving companies are giving quotes without having
• 18:06
  Speaker 22: that information, it's a pretty big red flag. If they're
• 18:09
  Speaker 22: providing written statements or saying that they're written, the quote
• 18:14
  Speaker 22: won't be given to you until all of the things
• 18:18
  Speaker 22: are on the truck, so out of your control. That's
• 18:21
  Speaker 22: a big red flag. That's a big red flag. Or
• 18:25
  Speaker 22: even having moving companies who don't have proper information on
• 18:30
  Speaker 22: their website. I'll give you an example of Joe, my
• 18:32
  Speaker 22: mom was moving from California to Florida last November, and
• 18:38
  Speaker 22: she sent me a moving company, said hey, can you
• 18:39
  Speaker 22: look into this. You're even in trucking, And I just
• 18:42
  Speaker 22: copy and pasted their their website address that was on
• 18:46
  Speaker 22: their website, pasted into Google Maps, Joe. It pointed to
• 18:50
  Speaker 22: a flower shop. Just simple simple things like that. Yeah,
• 18:54
  Speaker 22: a flower shop. Not a moving company, but a flower shop.
• 18:57
  Speaker 22: So if they don't have proper documentation like that on
• 19:01
  Speaker 22: their website, I mean as simple as that, that's a
• 19:04
  Speaker 22: big red flag. Something that's a little bit more in
• 19:07
  Speaker 22: the weeds. And you can actually find this information on
• 19:10
  Speaker 22: our website. Protectionmove dot Gov FMCSA requires every truck across
• 19:16
  Speaker 22: the state lines to be registered with US, and we
• 19:18
  Speaker 22: give them a usdot number. If moving companies aren't willing
• 19:23
  Speaker 22: to provide the Usdot number and insurance information to you
• 19:27
  Speaker 22: readily when you ask, that's another red flag.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: Well, I certainly understand why your mom would have moved
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: from California to Florida. We have way more affiliates in
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: Florida than we do in California, but they're hanging on
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: to us like a life raft in Sacramento and San Bernardino.
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: So I appreciate it.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: Ryan Snyder, who's director of Governmental Affairs and Legislative Affairs
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and the website
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: again is protect your move dot gov.
• 20:01
  Speaker 22: Yes, sir, protect or move dot gov.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: Well you have a wonderful day, a happy uh you know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: moving month, and and always put the heavy stuff in
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: the front.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: That's what I was always told.
• 20:12
  Speaker 22: Yeah, yes, sir, I appreciate it.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: Joe, have a great day. Bye bye four three four
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: eight A two four to two. Once was like one
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: of those you're holding the hands heads all right, all right,
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: gotta go fight.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: Sure, thanks, nobody knows how the end of phone conversation anymore.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: Let's go on move on with it. Also, Uh, this
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: month is you know, the ve Day, and as we
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: get ready to celebrate v E Day, of course, you
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: know we can't appropriately celebrate v E Day tomorrow without
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: acknowledging our keynote speaker ilhan Omar.
• 20:53
  Speaker 23: The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, it
• 20:56
  Speaker 23: was used to detain and deport Germany Japanese Italian immigrants
• 21:02
  Speaker 23: doing War War eleven.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: And we appreciate her participation in our celebration of the
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: end of our battle against the Nazis, the nationalists socialists.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: Of course they're back, They've just taken off their brown shirts.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: And there's several different eddies and currents, and where we
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: are today, it's still authoritarianism. It's still the idea that
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: there are special people that are given special privilege, and
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: that there are people whose role is to just serve them,
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: whether they like it or not, whether they feel they're
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: entitled to more or not. And there's so much more
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: of it in the world than we would like to
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: admit at popular and polite conversations. But that battle goes
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: on just as much as the same way as the
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: battle over the Civil War continues even though hostilities ended.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: with it, that sounds like something to look into, and
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: that is meta share. Maybe you've heard switching to meta
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: share to pay for healthcare can save many families up
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: to five hundred bucks a month, and that is huge,
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: after making the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: meta share is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Double meta share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: other's bills. People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: PPO network. So yeah, really, you can save a ton
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: and like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: taking care of your health care. So if you're self

• 28:20
  Speaker 6: It's time for us to open Mac McDonald's sports reporters notebook.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: And I noted this earlier in the program, Mac that
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: I've come full circle with the passage of Ted Turner yesterday.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: Do you know I was going to talk about you
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: just know I didn't. I didn't.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: I just you know we were earlier, and you know
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: you can't talk about a guy like him or dislike him.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: You know that invented twenty four hour news, you know,
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: in a milieu like this. But I said, you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: it's my first paid radio job. I was working at
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: an AM station that was playing you know, kind of
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: you know, Frank Sinatra songs and that kind of stuff.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: But our network, our news network, was CNN Radio, and
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: he had news at the top of the hour and
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: the bottom of the hour that's radio jargon, and then
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: at ten minutes or no, it was nine minutes before
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: the hour. I had to hit the network live because
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: Dan Patrick was going to deliver our radio sports and
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: I just I went back and I found some cassettes
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: of you know, because I just I would record everything.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: I didn't need, you know, Dan's sports reports. But there
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: was you know, a twelve year old Dan Patrick.
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Dan went to Atlanta.
• 29:32
  Speaker 28: He was doing Yeah, he was in Ohio and he
• 29:34
  Speaker 28: went to Atlanta to get a job and walked into
• 29:37
  Speaker 28: CDNN and they didn't have any like sports updates or
• 29:40
  Speaker 28: anything at that time, and he had a tape and
• 29:42
  Speaker 28: he waited like in the lobby all day to meet
• 29:45
  Speaker 28: with this you know, the manager there, not Ted Turner,
• 29:48
  Speaker 28: but short with the manager and Patrick eventually, Yeah, and
• 29:51
  Speaker 28: that was his first time he was on CNN doing headlines.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's so so, you know, and now here is
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: his program director at the university that.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: Bears his name all the yis later well, and.
• 30:02
  Speaker 28: The thing about Ted Turner and I you know, when
• 30:06
  Speaker 28: we don't think about people like that until I pass
• 30:08
  Speaker 28: you know, we don't talk much about John Sterling until
• 30:11
  Speaker 28: he passes, and then all of a sudden, Ted Turner.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: But he was.
• 30:14
  Speaker 28: I mean, I've got a million things here I put.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: On paper to talk about.
• 30:18
  Speaker 28: You know, what he did and the money he gave
• 30:20
  Speaker 28: to the United Nations Foundation, and you know, he sought
• 30:24
  Speaker 28: the worldwide elimination of nuclear weapons. He was the ninety
• 30:28
  Speaker 28: one time magazine Man of the Year. He loved CNN.
• 30:31
  Speaker 28: He called it his greatest achievement of his life. Mean,
• 30:33
  Speaker 28: you know, there were so many things. But when he
• 30:35
  Speaker 28: dove into when he dove into baseball, then he bought
• 30:38
  Speaker 28: the Hawks, and then he turns around and buys the
• 30:41
  Speaker 28: Atlanta Thrashers and stays in the hockey realm for about
• 30:44
  Speaker 28: five years. But you know, and he wasn't the most
• 30:47
  Speaker 28: you know, he didn't like just spend money to spend money,
• 30:50
  Speaker 28: but there was he did a lot of like quirky things.
• 30:53
  Speaker 28: So when you talk adjectives, quirky, brash, innovative, a media maverick,
• 30:59
  Speaker 28: a baseball owner, you know, he was a yachtsman. As
• 31:01
  Speaker 28: a matter of fact, if you remember, it was about
• 31:03
  Speaker 28: a couple of months ago when we interviewed Patsy Bowlling Kennedy,
• 31:07
  Speaker 28: she met Ted Turner when he was in a jacht
• 31:10
  Speaker 28: in the Bahamas practicing getting ready for America's Cup. She
• 31:14
  Speaker 28: took him out on her motorcycle and got him drunk.
• 31:17
  Speaker 28: I mean she loved the story and loved Ted Turner
• 31:19
  Speaker 28: because he was quite the you know, quite the party.
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: Did the What did Hanoi Jane post yesterday on her
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: Instagram Accounty?
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: I didn't hear that.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: She called him a swashbuckling pirate who swept into her
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: life and changed it forever.
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: I swashed.
• 31:34
  Speaker 28: But take an adjective and it'll probably apply to him.
• 31:38
  Speaker 28: He was He started his mediacre in twenty four You
• 31:42
  Speaker 28: guys know the story, and it took over his father's
• 31:44
  Speaker 28: billboard company. His father was an alcoholic, beat him, shot
• 31:47
  Speaker 28: shot himself, and then he buried his shock and he
• 31:52
  Speaker 28: just went to work immediately. He went to Brown University.
• 31:54
  Speaker 28: His dad pulled him out of Brown because he said,
• 31:57
  Speaker 28: you won't have a drink until you're twenty one.
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: He broke that rule.
• 32:00
  Speaker 28: He got in trouble with the girl in his dorm room.
• 32:02
  Speaker 28: I mean, the movie, the Ted Turner movie ought to be,
• 32:04
  Speaker 28: you know, really really good. But when he acquired the Braves,
• 32:08
  Speaker 28: fourteen straight Division titles from ninety one to five, he
• 32:11
  Speaker 28: got the Braves in seventy six and then five National
• 32:15
  Speaker 28: League pennants franchise franchise, but he pushed the He pushed
• 32:19
  Speaker 28: it there too. During a sixteen game losing streak in
• 32:23
  Speaker 28: seventy seven, he put on the uniform and managed the team,
• 32:27
  Speaker 28: oh day, and he went into the dugout and Bowie
• 32:30
  Speaker 28: K says no, no, no, no, no.
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: He got fined for that.
• 32:34
  Speaker 28: And then there was a time when he had players
• 32:36
  Speaker 28: wear nicknames on the back of their jerseys so.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: Like which they do now all over the place.
• 32:41
  Speaker 28: I mean, you know, and Andy Messersmith had had Messersmith had.
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: The number seventeen.
• 32:47
  Speaker 28: So Ted had him where his nick nickname channel on
• 32:50
  Speaker 28: the back, you know, his averagar channel seventeen with the
• 32:54
  Speaker 28: TVs thing, and uh well that didn't that didn't set
• 32:57
  Speaker 28: with a leader. But anyway, on a Charlie Rose interview,
• 32:59
  Speaker 28: because I was digging up some stuff today, you know,
• 33:03
  Speaker 28: Turner when he lost you know, his job for years,
• 33:06
  Speaker 28: suspended from baseball or whatever. He told Charlie Rose, that
• 33:10
  Speaker 28: was a time when he was pretty humbled.
• 33:12
  Speaker 19: But losing my job, losing my fortune and having other
• 33:17
  Speaker 19: personal problems solved of quite.
• 33:21
  Speaker 12: Significant magnitude humbled me.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Brought me down off my high horse.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: It's made it.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: No question. Oh, I used to really think a lot about.
• 33:39
  Speaker 28: There was It's like when you go back and just
• 33:41
  Speaker 28: start turning the pay There was a book. I heard
• 33:44
  Speaker 28: the author being interviewed yesterday, and the guys he was
• 33:47
  Speaker 28: a right. He actually was a manager with CNN, stayed
• 33:51
  Speaker 28: a lot of years in Atlanta and everything. But the
• 33:54
  Speaker 28: Atlanta Hawks made the playoffs fifteen times under his guidance.
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: Too.
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: Dominique helped well, yeah.
• 34:02
  Speaker 28: And so everything he touched.
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: I mean, he is not worth five children.
• 34:08
  Speaker 28: His net worth is two point eight billion, you know, so,
• 34:11
  Speaker 28: I mean and he and he you know, he he
• 34:14
  Speaker 28: believed in in political things, as I said, he uh,
• 34:18
  Speaker 28: he believed you know, I wanted to educate kids about
• 34:21
  Speaker 28: the environment, the cartoons, he launched Turner movie classics, you know,
• 34:25
  Speaker 28: all these little things he thought he could do. But
• 34:29
  Speaker 28: you know, he he introduced bison to the American West.
• 34:33
  Speaker 28: His restaurant was, you know, served Bison Berger's. I went
• 34:37
  Speaker 28: to his restaurant several times in Atlanta. I was not
• 34:40
  Speaker 28: a big Bison Burger guy. Maybe it was just because
• 34:42
  Speaker 28: of the name. But he but he created the cartoon,
• 34:45
  Speaker 28: He created Captain Planet to educate kids. So when they
• 34:49
  Speaker 28: started to talk about headstones, this was long before he passed.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you what I'm thinking about first, I
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: have nothing more to say exactly.
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I like, what's the new one?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Well, that's that's the most recently.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: One many years ago was you can't interview me here.
• 35:09
  Speaker 28: You know, so, and he had a he had a
• 35:12
  Speaker 28: quote one time, uh, we won't sign off until the
• 35:15
  Speaker 28: world ends. You know, he was being interviewed with all
• 35:18
  Speaker 28: the stuff with you know, see.
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: There are accomplishment.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: There are people on the receiving end of this radio
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: program who thought that that was actually an ambition of his,
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: not necessarily a concern there. So you know, but agree
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: or disagree, you know, one of the things. And I
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: know you worked in Hotlanta for a while, uh there.
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: But couldn't wait to get out.
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: But Atlanta was not you know, when he showed up
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: there in the seventies, Atlanta was a backwash. I mean,
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: it might have been the biggest city in the South,
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: but it was the South, so okay. But you know,
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: there was more estimable media coming out of Richmond, Virginia
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: than there was out of Atlanta. Uh, nobody considered Atlanta
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: a play. Now it's TV production, it's the it's it's considered,
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: you know, one of the biggest cities in the world
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: in terms of cosmopolitan efforts. Uh, it's it's brand, it's banking,
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: it's it's taken a lot of the banking out of Charlotte,
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: which was those the banking insurance capital. I mean, he
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: his gravity, what he you know, whether it's fake it
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: till you make it or not, made Atlanta a player
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: in the world of everything that was going on, and
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: it never was before that.
• 36:40
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: And he had his land.
• 36:42
  Speaker 28: I mean you go back to all the he had
• 36:44
  Speaker 28: over two million acres of land that he had purchased,
• 36:48
  Speaker 28: mostly in America. He he used to meet with like
• 36:52
  Speaker 28: Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates and David Rockefeller and they
• 36:55
  Speaker 28: would talk.
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: Healthcare, faith and stuff.
• 36:59
  Speaker 28: He he just would take millions and millions of dollars
• 37:03
  Speaker 28: and build foundations. You know, he wanted to run for president,
• 37:07
  Speaker 28: and you're talking about Jane Fondas she said, you run
• 37:11
  Speaker 28: for president, I'm out of here.
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: Uh you know, I didn't.
• 37:14
  Speaker 28: Want him to be in that uh network too, and
• 37:17
  Speaker 28: uh so, but he just for for years and years
• 37:21
  Speaker 28: and years was front and center without being front and center,
• 37:25
  Speaker 28: if that makes sense. You know, we knew what he
• 37:28
  Speaker 28: was doing, but a lot of people just said, Okay,
• 37:30
  Speaker 28: that's just Ted Turner.
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: Am I making sense?
• 37:33
  Speaker 15: Well?
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: You know, but I mean the gravity of a planet,
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: whether it's a good planet or not.
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: And you can say wheel or whoa.
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: You cannot disavowed that he existed and he created a
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: big part of where we are today in that Mac
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: and I appreciate it.
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: You know, well covered us. Well I was well covered.

  Speaker 6: If if I had humility, I'd be perfect. I think

• 38:12
  Speaker 11: still kills more people in the United States each year
• 38:14
  Speaker 11: than all types of cancer combined, but more than half
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a
• 38:20
  Speaker 11: recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
• 38:25
  Speaker 11: the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
• 38:28
  Speaker 11: improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
• 38:32
  Speaker 11: its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: have reduced deaths from heart disease by half over the
• 38:38

• 43:56
  Speaker 22: It's on.
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: H on your to do list.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Putting the radio on is the first thing today.
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: Sorry about that. That moment of silence brought to you
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: by the consideration of your actions, young man. Please sit
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: there and sit quietly for a moment there. It was
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: just to get your attention. Nothing does that more than silence.
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: So a couple of folks have been emailing me saying,
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: come on, Joe, what about the letter? What about the letter,
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: the alleged Epstein letter. I like this one, you know,
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: this shows how you're working here, Charles writes in under
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: the email address Epstein's suicide note to JT in the
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Was the handwriting compared
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: to Hillary's by any chance, you know, just in case.
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: Lou writes in, and I hazard to use this, Lou,
• 45:54
  Speaker 7: I really do.
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: Because there's a voice in my head saying nobody is
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: going to get it. I get the joke. I get it,
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: and you get it. But I don't know if anyone
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: will get it. And there will be people who will
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: be offended because it's making light of, you know, insert
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: anything that Jeffrey Epstein is accused of, and anyone whose
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: name has been associated with Jeffrey Epstein will be okay.
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: So Lou writes in, Joe, I saw the letter and
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: it apparently says, dear mister Cotter, Jeffrey can't be in
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: class today because he's about to commit suicide, signed Epstein's mother.
• 46:36
  Speaker 20: No.
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: See, see this is the trouble, Lou. You and I
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: remember the TV show Welcome Back Cotterer. And by the way,
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: the character's name was Jan Epstein, not Jeffrey Epstein. But
• 46:47
  Speaker 6: I saw what you're doing there and I appreciate it.
• 46:50
  Speaker 6: But see, this is the problem with humor based on
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: particular knowledge, Welcome Back Cotterer isn't one of those. They're
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: not getting a reboot on Hulu. Nobody is doing a
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty sixth version of Welcome Back Cotter. Lest certainly
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: not John Travolta. And I think there's there's a bunch
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: of folks, all right, lou Okay, seely got it. Seely
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: just tactic texted in from the four corners.
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: Lol.
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: That was rich, you know, But I'm I will apologize
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: for those who are sitting there saying, what the hell
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: is a welcome Back Cotter? Welcome Back Cotter was a
• 47:38
  Speaker 6: seventy sitcom about a guy from Brooklyn who went back
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: to teach at his old elementary school or his old
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: high school, pardon me, his old high school, and the
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: ne'er Dowells were, you know, still there. There were a
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: whole bunch of kids who you know, didn't do well,
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: and they were always thrown into this one special class
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: of kids that were underperforming in class. So they got
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: him out of the classroom with the good kids and
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: put them all into this one class. And this John
• 48:11
  Speaker 6: Travolta's entrance into the world. I think this was before
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: he was a scientologist, but he was technically the quote
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: star of the program and a bunch of other guys
• 48:24
  Speaker 6: and it was huge for a period of time. And
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: one of the kids was Juan Epstein. His parents were
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: Puerto Rican and Jewish, and he was always trying to
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: get out of class by coming up with fake notes
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: from his mother saying, you know, Jeffrey, Jeffries, he got
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: me doing it, Lou Juan cannot participate in class today
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: because he has a headache, signed Epstein's mother And the
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: gag was he wrote them himself and just signed his
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: mother's name to it.
• 48:55
  Speaker 22: There.
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: But I'm glad you got it, Ceily. You might be
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: the only one besides me that got the gag. But
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: I figured i'd give some context. So the letter, if
• 49:05
  Speaker 6: you insist, and the whole scenario.
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: With the cop that.
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: Picked up the letter because of his police instincts, which
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: apparently were on hold when he was murdering for other people,
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: was a tartaglione. And I mean this is right out
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: of an episode of Law and Order or the Sopranos.
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: So New York cop in jail with Epstein.
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: I don't know where he was when Epstein tried the
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: first time. But I do know a little bit about suicide,
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: and lying on the floor with a bed sheet tied
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: around your neck is not how you do it. I
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: gather he fell or the bedsheet didn't say tied to
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: whatever it was supposed to be tied to there, and
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: that was three weeks prior to his official quote unquote
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: suicide there and so the letter itself, I mean, if
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: you insist, says they investigated me for months, found nothing.
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point. So fifteen year old
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: charges something. I guess fourteen fifteen year old charges brought back.
• 50:41
  Speaker 9: It is.
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: A treat to be able to choose this time to
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: say goodbye what you want me to do. I'm not
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: sure what burr at means, burr at crying no fun,
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: not worth it. So I don't know what you infer
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: from that, but there you go. That's as best I
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: can read the handwriting, and I haven't compared it to
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: former First Lady Clinton's handwriting, but it looks like it
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: was written while he was hanging from his neck there
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: and then somehow got into the books like Ellen writes
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: and COmON, Joe, you still have the older demographic listening
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: we just sleep in a bit longer.
• 51:35
  Speaker 7: Appreciated the jokes.
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: There you go, lou, there's another vote on your side
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: for the Epstein's mother line there, and you'll probably hear
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: it again as the day goes on. So if you're
• 51:47
  Speaker 6: younger and you don't know the welcome back Cotter stuff,
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: now you know, and you'll know what all the other
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: folks in your office are giggling at when somebody says, hey,
• 51:56
  Speaker 6: I understand the note was signed Epstein's mother.
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: There. It wasn't signed at all.
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: And I don't have any other Jeffrey Epstein handwritings to
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: compare it to there. But you know, again, what does
• 52:11
  Speaker 6: the letter mean? What does it do to change nothing?
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: If you're so sure that you did nothing wrong, why
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: take this effort to end your life? This is the
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: bigger question that I think has left a lot of
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: people in this story saying yeah, right, Because if you're
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: innocent of something, fight it, even if it seems as
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: daunting as what they accused him of.
• 52:51
  Speaker 11: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 11: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 11: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience.
• 53:01
  Speaker 11: This compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
• 53:05
  Speaker 11: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 11: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 11: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
• 53:16
  Speaker 11: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
• 53:20
  Speaker 11: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 11: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 11: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 11: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 11: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 11: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
• 53:38
