  Speaker 4: more bombing runs, broadcasters in Israel, proving that they can

  Speaker 11: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 11: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them, nestled
• 9:08
  Speaker 11: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 12: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 11: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 11: favorite form of ear candy. Oh, my. Those bejeweled sprinkles
• 9:25
  Speaker 11: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: Shh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Shh.
• 9:32
  Speaker 11: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: And with every item.

  Speaker 11: You buy, you fund local job training and more. So
• 9:44
  Speaker 11: go forth. Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home

  Speaker 11: so much good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 13: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 11: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 14: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 14: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 14: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 14: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:23
  Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 14: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 14: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 15: Eat better.

  Speaker 20: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.

  Speaker 19: I can probably swim.

• 12:07

• 12:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 20: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 20: and driving.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
• 12:42

• 13:12
  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: First thing today, beyond the question of mental health, and
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: it's always a question, and we have a day. It
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: just passed, October 10th, World Mental Health Day. But every
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: day we see more stories of people struggling with and
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: trying to define, which I think is a mistake to
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: ask elected officials, trying to define where the line is.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: But I think we all agree that we need to
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: do a better job with mental health care. in this country.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Joining us is Dr. Jessie Gold, psychiatrist, best-selling author, international speaker,
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: but we won't hold any of that against her. Good morning, Dr.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Gold.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 13:59
  Speaker 23: Thank you for not holding that against me.
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: Good morning.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, sometimes that's all it takes for somebody is
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: to just say, hey, you know, okay, that's all well
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: and good. We won't hold it against you. We won't
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: charge you with anything this time, you know, and that
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: kind of stuff, just to put a smile on someone's face.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: And we talk about our siloing ourselves off over the
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: last generation or so. Is that part of what's driving
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: what seems like a mental health epidemic?
• 14:31
  Speaker 23: I mean, there's so many reasons why I think we're
• 14:33
  Speaker 23: seeing more and more mental health crises, but also even
• 14:36
  Speaker 23: conversations around mental health. So conversation isn't actually necessarily a
• 14:40
  Speaker 23: bad thing. That's a great thing. But sometimes more conversation
• 14:44
  Speaker 23: means that people notice things, right? Like if we talk
• 14:46
  Speaker 23: about it more, you're going to be paying more attention.
• 14:48
  Speaker 23: We'll have more conversations and maybe that'll lead to more
• 14:51
  Speaker 23: people getting help, which is good and not bad, but
• 14:54
  Speaker 23: kind of all things are happening at once.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, absolutely.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: And there is, You know, there is a place where
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: I've talked to so many physicians who say, yes, there
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: are imbalances. There are things that cause our neurons firing kooky.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: But then there are also just feelings of it's the
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: tsunami is coming. And is there or are we any
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: closer to really being able to define what is, you know,
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: a tough day versus an actual mental health, you know,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: treatment requiring crisis.
• 15:37
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I mean, I think for me, when I'm thinking
• 15:39
  Speaker 23: about that, I'm wondering about how long something's been going on,
• 15:43
  Speaker 23: if it's interfering with your day to day life, if
• 15:46
  Speaker 23: it's getting worse, or if it kind of started severe
• 15:48
  Speaker 23: up front. So like, everyone feels sad sometimes. And that's
• 15:52
  Speaker 23: actually great. And we should just feel sad and not
• 15:54
  Speaker 23: try to change that. But if you're sad for two weeks,
• 15:57
  Speaker 23: that's very different than feeling sad because something happened for
• 16:00
  Speaker 23: a day or something like that. And so Noticing that
• 16:03
  Speaker 23: emotions are normal, reactions are normal, and there are versions
• 16:07
  Speaker 23: of that where you could actually have a diagnosable condition
• 16:09
  Speaker 23: that needs support and help. There are different things.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: And I know that sometimes it's just so daunting that
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: you don't know where to turn. But then there are
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: other folks who also face this with concern about a stigma.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: Like if you go and you seek treatment, it's like
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: everyone has got kid gloves on you all of a sudden.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: And that seems to make it worse. Dr. Gold, what
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: is keeping people from talking to professionals about this?
• 16:41
  Speaker 23: I'd say a couple of things. Like one, I think
• 16:43
  Speaker 23: there is a fear because it's just not something that
• 16:45
  Speaker 23: every culture and every age and every generation talked about.
• 16:48
  Speaker 23: And so being able to say like, this is normal,
• 16:52
  Speaker 23: this is something just like high blood pressure or diabetes
• 16:54
  Speaker 23: that we all should be talking about is we're getting there,
• 16:57
  Speaker 23: but we're not there completely. So there is that fear
• 17:00
  Speaker 23: of like, you know, asking for help and what it means.
• 17:03
  Speaker 23: But I do also think then what this campaign is
• 17:05
  Speaker 23: really focused on too, is like, we don't necessarily always
• 17:08
  Speaker 23: know when we need help. So sometimes we say fine,
• 17:10
  Speaker 23: but we're not fine. Sometimes we feel better than we
• 17:13
  Speaker 23: did before. And so we say we are fine, but
• 17:16
  Speaker 23: we're not actually perfect or we're not actually as good
• 17:18
  Speaker 23: as we can be. And so, you know, this campaign
• 17:21
  Speaker 23: for Johnson and Johnson generation fine is really saying like,
• 17:24
  Speaker 23: maybe there's more to that. Maybe fine is not the
• 17:26
  Speaker 23: finish line. Maybe we need to feel empowered to have
• 17:28
  Speaker 23: conversations that say like, I'm not just sitting here being
• 17:32
  Speaker 23: accepting of being okay or being fine. I can have more.
• 17:36
  Speaker 23: I can have a more fulfilled life. I can feel
• 17:39
  Speaker 23: empowered to have those conversations.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Is it also, I mean, it's a two way street.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Obviously part of fighting mental health is, you know, not
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: feeling alone. And I've talked to folks who have said that,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: you know, part of the issue is I don't want
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: to burden other people. I don't want people to feel bad.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: or to feel guilty about me not feeling great, does
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: that play a role in it and how the other
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: party reacts? I know I've heard about it about parents,
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: that this generation is particularly acute because the parents, I
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: guess that would be Generation X, the parents are now
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Generation X, are so hyper, like, are you okay? Are
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: you okay? And they take it. And the kids actually
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: retransmit this idea that The parents put so much into
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: their kids being great that they don't want to tell
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: them that they're not so great sometimes.
• 18:37
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 18:39
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 18:39
  Speaker 23: I mean, I think there are definitely generation differences in
• 18:42
  Speaker 23: mental health, how we talk about it, how we stigmatize it,
• 18:46
  Speaker 23: what it means, our care and concern about it, our
• 18:48
  Speaker 23: comfort talking about it. I also think that, you know,
• 18:52
  Speaker 23: as we kind of look at the general population, like
• 18:56
  Speaker 23: we're getting a little bit better on that. And maybe
• 18:58
  Speaker 23: that's just because of storytelling and social media, but I
• 19:01
  Speaker 23: do think it's not perfect. Like I think talking about
• 19:04
  Speaker 23: it doesn't necessarily mean that you feel like comfortable talking
• 19:07
  Speaker 23: to someone else about it or that you feel like
• 19:10
  Speaker 23: comfortable talking to a provider about it. And so, you know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 23: the reactions we have as other people are really important
• 19:15
  Speaker 23: that we start with listening. Sometimes we start right with
• 19:19
  Speaker 23: fixing and it's a hard thing not to just fix.
• 19:22
  Speaker 23: And when you're a parent or when you're a friend
• 19:25
  Speaker 23: and someone's struggling, you do just want to like fix it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 23: And there's a degree of that that you can help
• 19:30
  Speaker 23: with and link them to the resources and know they exist.
• 19:32
  Speaker 23: But there's also a degree of just like man, like
• 19:35
  Speaker 23: tell me what's been going on and like listening to
• 19:37
  Speaker 23: that and being there and supporting that. That's just as important.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: It's sometimes it's, there's not a thing, right? It's like, well,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: if you take this thorn out of my side, I'll
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: be better. Um, dr jesse jesse gold i wish right
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: um and there are downloadable resources also uh it's generation-fine.com correct.
• 20:03
  Speaker 23: Correct. And like on there, you can get a self-reflection
• 20:05
  Speaker 23: tool there. You can find ways to talk to your
• 20:07
  Speaker 23: provider with a care conversation guide. There's all sorts of
• 20:10
  Speaker 23: things on there that would empower you to both like
• 20:12
  Speaker 23: self-assess and have conversations, which are all the things we've
• 20:15
  Speaker 23: been talking about.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Well, I know it's a daunting thing and I appreciate
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: you taking some time out with us to talk about it.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: And please keep us on your dialer and we'll chat
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: whenever you feel like it needs. But I feel like
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: it It always seems to be something, whether it's soldiers
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: coming back from service, parents, heaven sakes, the horrific story
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: out of Massachusetts and the mother and her three kids.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, there are from one end of the spectrum
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: to the other things that we have to deal with
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: on a day-to-day basis. And you don't want them to
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: get insane like it happened in Massachusetts, but You also
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: don't want to overreact to them when they happen at
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: your dining room table, I think is the best answer, correct?
• 21:07
  Speaker 23: I mean, it's a spectrum. I think mental health is
• 21:09
  Speaker 23: a spectrum. I think that's why we sometimes just don't
• 21:12
  Speaker 23: know what we can expect or what to look for
• 21:14
  Speaker 23: or what to talk about. And so just being aware
• 21:17
  Speaker 23: that all of that is fair and true and it
• 21:19
  Speaker 23: can look different on everybody, which is why our self-assessment
• 21:23
  Speaker 23: tools or the conversation guides can be helpful because which
• 21:25
  Speaker 23: are all on that website, which is generation-find.com can be
• 21:28
  Speaker 23: helpful because I think it looks different in everybody. And
• 21:31
  Speaker 23: it would be great if every single person who had.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Something looked exactly the same, but it's.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Just not how it is.
• 21:36
  Speaker 23: And so many of us, so many of us like
• 21:38
  Speaker 23: show up at work and we're actually not okay, but
• 21:41
  Speaker 23: we don't realize that because we showed up at work
• 21:43
  Speaker 23: and it's just what we're used to talking about. And,
• 21:45
  Speaker 23: and I think measuring things by, and just because you
• 21:48
  Speaker 23: show up doesn't mean like the rest of your life
• 21:50
  Speaker 23: doesn't have any issues in it or like you're not
• 21:52
  Speaker 23: sleeping or eating or functioning to the way that you
• 21:55
  Speaker 23: want to. So just being aware that it is a
• 21:57
  Speaker 23: spectrum just like anything.
• 22:01
  Speaker 12: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:04

• 22:08
  Speaker 12: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
• 22:11
  Speaker 12: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
• 22:15
  Speaker 12: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
• 22:17
  Speaker 12: it could just be you moving your body and doing
• 22:19
  Speaker 12: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a

  Speaker 12: Yes.

  Speaker 13: Actually, three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr.

  Speaker 25: Mitch.
• 24:13
  Speaker 13: And nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all
• 24:17

  Speaker 3: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: You know, it is with great heart that I join
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: you each radio morning knowing that me and Mac and you,
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: with your help, we're beating the teams with four times
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: the payroll, just like the Milwaukee Brewers do. The new
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: adopted favorite baseball team of First Thing Today by Joe
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Thomas because our budget is one quarter of what most of.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: The other ones.
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: How did you know I was going to tuck payroll today?
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: How did you know that?
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Gee, so it's easy as saying six to four final.
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: Oh, well, I was averaging.
• 28:52
  Speaker 29: I was looking at what he did, what Pat Murphy
• 28:53
  Speaker 29: did at Notre Dame and Arizona State.
• 28:55
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
• 28:56
  Speaker 29: And, you know, he took the Netherlands. He won gold
• 28:59
  Speaker 29: in the European baseball championship. I mean, I'm so in
• 29:03
  Speaker 29: love with Pat Murphy and this team and what he's done. So, yeah,
• 29:06
  Speaker 29: I crunched some numbers for you. When he was at
• 29:08
  Speaker 29: Notre Dame, he averaged 45 wins per year. Arizona State,
• 29:12
  Speaker 29: 42 wins per year. the Brewer pitching, and I'm going
• 29:15
  Speaker 29: to get into that in just a second to Milwaukee
• 29:17
  Speaker 29: became the first major league club to finish a post-season
• 29:21
  Speaker 29: sweep after getting swept by the same opponent, the previous
• 29:24
  Speaker 29: post-season and the third franchise to sweep a defending champion
• 29:28
  Speaker 29: while eating snow cones on a Saturday during, okay.
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: Anyway, but they, you know, they, all right. So here
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: are the numbers. Okay. The Dodger payroll, the Dodger payroll, 2025,
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: tax returns, 350 million.
• 29:39
  Speaker 21: Okay.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: The Brewers roster. 122 million.
• 29:47
  Speaker 21: Okay.
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: So how do they do it?
• 29:49
  Speaker 21: All right.
• 29:50
  Speaker 29: Elite free agents absorb large contracts, go deep into the
• 29:54
  Speaker 29: luxury tax.
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: That's the Dodger philosophy. Milwaukee, it's called payroll efficiency. Basically,
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: it's a Midwest version of Moneyball. Okay?
• 30:05
  Speaker 29: Pre-arbitration players, value development, avoid overpriced long-term deals.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: Now, what they didn't tell you is about.
• 30:12
  Speaker 29: The secretive lab in Arizona.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: It's a pitching lab.
• 30:17
  Speaker 29: $ 60 million with 24-hour armed guards, high-speed cameras everywhere, slow-motion
• 30:24
  Speaker 29: pitching technology. So like a golf lab that has a
• 30:29
  Speaker 29: thing called track man or flight scope, they track spin rate,
• 30:33
  Speaker 29: seam orientation, release point, consistency, and movement profiles.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: You know what that reminds me of years ago, years ago,
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Tom house, you know, the famous pitcher Tom house was
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: hired by the Texas Rangers. They had this guy, Nolan,
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: something or another pitching, but all the other pitchers, but
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: what they did is all they did, during spring training
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: was throw footballs. And the goal was to throw a,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: because throwing a football is like throwing a slider. And
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: the better you threw a football, the better you were
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: going to throw a slider. The better you throw a slider,
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: the more pit batters you were going to get to
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: ground out weekly to the second baseman.
• 31:10
  Speaker 29: And very good Auburn, Auburn coach, or I mean, Mississippi
• 31:15
  Speaker 29: state coach, Brian O'Connor. Former Virginia coach did the same thing.
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: His bullpen guys, you always saw him with the football.
• 31:21
  Speaker 29: So, all right, let's go a little sound for you
• 31:24
  Speaker 29: because Murphy, first of all, has plenty of respect and
• 31:27
  Speaker 29: he plays with respect and he just does things the
• 31:29
  Speaker 29: right way.
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: This is totally out of respect. I respect Dave. I
• 31:32
  Speaker 9: respect Andrew. I respect, you know, the whole organization from
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: top to bottom and their history.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: We were hungry.
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: And as long as it's an even playing field, we're
• 31:41
  Speaker 9: going to come in and give it our best shot
• 31:43
  Speaker 9: to win. And And that's exactly what we did.
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: Okay, now I'm going to take you to Jake Bowers.
• 31:47
  Speaker 29: We told the Jake Bowers story yesterday about needing hospital
• 31:50
  Speaker 29: care for his kids or whatever. However, it was last
• 31:53
  Speaker 29: year when the Dodgers swept them, you know, after they
• 31:56
  Speaker 29: won the Cubs series and then the Dodgers swept the Brewers.
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: Bowers noticed something that stuck with him.
• 32:03
  Speaker 28: We won the DS against the Cubs and I think
• 32:06
  Speaker 28: we kind of celebrated like that was something. Those guys
• 32:10
  Speaker 28: swept us, they sent us home and you would have
• 32:13
  Speaker 28: thought it was a handshake line at a spring training game.
• 32:16
  Speaker 28: That's something that I carried with me. That's something that
• 32:18
  Speaker 28: I remembered. And yeah, I mean, it was just, it
• 32:21
  Speaker 28: was a little bit of motivation to just say, we
• 32:23
  Speaker 28: got to keep going until there's not another game left
• 32:27
  Speaker 28: to play.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:27
  Speaker 29: So, you know, those guys, you've seen a lot of
• 32:29
  Speaker 29: those pictures when, when another team sweeps or another team
• 32:32
  Speaker 29: wins a series, the other teams just sit in the dugout. Well,
• 32:34
  Speaker 29: that's what Jake did. Bowers just sat in the dugout.
• 32:37
  Speaker 29: When those guys act like this is no big deal.
• 32:40
  Speaker 29: He goes, I get it. You know, it's kind of
• 32:41
  Speaker 29: crazy because everybody, you know, there's more champagne being spilled
• 32:44
  Speaker 29: this year than really than I've seen ever before.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: So anyway, Cleveland Rays will decide.
• 32:52
  Speaker 29: So now either a Tampa Milwaukee series, it doesn't make
• 32:56
  Speaker 29: any difference now.
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: Milwaukee, Cleveland, that's what we want, that World Series. Thank you.
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Yankees, for participating. Thank you, L.A., for participating.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no. Major League Baseball does
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: not want Cleveland playing Milwaukee in front of six people
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: on TV.
• 33:15
  Speaker 29: I'm telling you, though, I know Major League Baseball doesn't
• 33:18
  Speaker 29: want it, but they can sit there and go, see,
• 33:21
  Speaker 29: small market teams, we.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: Don't have to worry about it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw the video yesterday. I
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: don't know where it was, but it was Bob Costas,
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: who knows a thing or two. You want to talk
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: about four times the payroll.
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: But he was saying the exact same thing. He said,
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: this is the Players Association's worst nightmare, is that when
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: the team says, no, Major League Baseball's worst nightmare, because
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: there's no need for a salary cap. He said, when
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: was the last time the Yankees were in a World Series,
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: never mind 1-1? Sure, the Dodgers won three games. But
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: eventually somebody beats them and they lose 60 games a
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: year no matter what anyway. So this is the point
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: of baseball. It's the sphere being hit by a cylinder
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: trying to do it squarely. It's interesting because when the
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: Brewers hired Murphy, I remember a little bit of it
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: because we had affiliates out that way. They weren't happy
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: in Milwaukee. They were like, why didn't you get this
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: guy and that guy? And it's always the same thing.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: It's always, why aren't you hiring the big-name ex-manager from
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: the Braves or the Red Sox or whoever? And it's
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: always these guys like Murphy that win the World Series.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Davey Martinez with the Nationals. It's like this guy you've
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: never heard of that comes along and– And you look
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: at his body of work with, like you mentioned, Notre
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: Dame and all these.
• 34:49
  Speaker 29: College world series three or four, you know, he was
• 34:52
  Speaker 29: four time pack 10.
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: Coach of the year. And I mean, you know, he,
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: he was a coach. For seven years.
• 34:59
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 34:59
  Speaker 29: And then, you know, he was named manager in 2024,
• 35:03
  Speaker 29: and he was with the Padres for a year in 2015, too,
• 35:05
  Speaker 29: as a manager.
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: But, I mean, he's just, I just love the guy.
• 35:08
  Speaker 29: And so I'm so, you know, so happy for them.
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: All right, I want to move on because I'm going to.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Actually, one coda, quick note on Irvin, the owner. Irvin
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Magic Johnson, I take you back to September of 1990.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: September of 1990, Irvin Magic Johnson voluntarily gives up a
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: portion of his salary so that the Los Angeles Lakers
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: can stay under the salary cap and trade for Terry
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: Teagle and bring him onto the roster. Gee, Irvin, back
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: in the day, you used to say to people, Maybe
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: if you want some support in the lineup, you should
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: give up some of your salary.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: Gee, how did that work out, right?
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 35:55
  Speaker 29: Tomorrow, shameless plug, Joe's one of our affiliates for Foster
• 35:59
  Speaker 29: & Friends. Tomorrow, an interview with a guy named Donnie Simpson. Now,
• 36:03
  Speaker 29: you're saying, all right, who's Donnie Simpson? That's not a
• 36:06
  Speaker 29: big household name.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: Who's Donnie Simpson? Donnie Simpson.
• 36:08
  Speaker 29: Yeah, Donnie Simpson played for Herman Boone, all right? Remember
• 36:12
  Speaker 29: the Titans, Herman Boone.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: Played later, 76, after Boone had been there five years.
• 36:17
  Speaker 29: The movie, Remember the Titans, was from 1971. Now, Donnie
• 36:23
  Speaker 29: will tell you about the movie, and yeah, they Hollywooded
• 36:26
  Speaker 29: it up.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: That could be a verb a little bit.
• 36:29
  Speaker 29: But tomorrow, Donnie Simpson will talk about the racial tension
• 36:33
  Speaker 29: in Northern Virginia. And at that time, where they were, Alexandria, whatever,
• 36:38
  Speaker 29: with T.C. Williams High School, it wasn't as bad as
• 36:41
  Speaker 29: it appears.
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: But you will hear this. We leave for camp.
• 36:45
  Speaker 29: Gettysburg College, August 15th, 729 a.m. If you report at 730,
• 36:51
  Speaker 29: you will not be playing football this season.
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: You will be watching.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: It was a real issue, but it wasn't, you know,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: it wasn't as bad as the movie probably portrayed.
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: I think we were similar to other southern towns.
• 37:03
  Speaker 19: Sports wise, we were fine because we all.
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: Had grown up together.
• 37:06
  Speaker 29: Alexandria had youth football, youth sports, for example, and you
• 37:09
  Speaker 29: had the African-American schools predominantly and you had the white
• 37:12
  Speaker 29: schools and we all played each other. There were so
• 37:15
  Speaker 29: many during integration. There were so many feeder systems into T.C.
• 37:19
  Speaker 21: Williams.
• 37:20
  Speaker 29: They actually had 4000 students in two grades. So they
• 37:25
  Speaker 29: only had junior, senior year. And so Donnie, who became
• 37:29
  Speaker 29: a walk-on, went to Florida State to play baseball. He
• 37:32
  Speaker 29: becomes a walk-on with Bill Dooley, plays at Virginia Tech.
• 37:34
  Speaker 29: Herman Boone writes a letter for Donnie and says, I
• 37:37
  Speaker 29: think he deserves a scholarship. And Bill Dooley gives Donnie.
• 37:40
  Speaker 29: It's just a great story. So anyway, it's tomorrow, Foster
• 37:43
  Speaker 29: and Fred. That's my shameless plug, and it'll be all
• 37:47
  Speaker 29: over the airwaves.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: Broadcast the Titans. That's what you guys are doing there.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: That's right. Broadcast the Titans.

  Speaker 13: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 13: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long

  Speaker 22: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 22: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 22: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that

  Speaker 22: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 22: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 22: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example

  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting us be of service to you

• 44:26
  Speaker 4: You know, number one country to download this is Brazil.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: And maybe it has some connection to the congressional elections
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: that happened down there because their version of the midterms,
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: you know, is exactly what President Trump would like to
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: see is more conservative voices there. So we'll see what
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: happens when the Bolsonaro election happens. finally comes to fruition,
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: a man who's seen all this stuff from the inside
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: and the outside. He is former chair of the House
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: Freedom Caucus, now host of the Good for America podcast.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: Bob Good, happy Friday. Bob, how are you doing this morning, sir?
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: Doing well, Joe.
• 45:03
  Speaker 19: Good morning. Great to be with you.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you so much. On a morning, we were
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: talking a little bit about this in the green room,
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: The latest out of Bend, Oregon. I was telling my
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: listeners earlier, I said, you know, be careful. We're already starting.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: I can see the websites all beginning. Who is this person?
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: And they're using quotes around the word Samaritan, the civilian
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: that entered the fight. Very similar to one that happened
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: in your congressional district a few years ago when somebody
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: who had lost their last good marble went into a
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: grocery store and started shooting. and an off-duty law enforcement
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: officer in the parking lot heard the shooting and went
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: in and interceded before the police legitimately in any way, shape,
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: or form could be there. And I read that the Bend,
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Oregon police were there in three minutes after the call,
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: which is a great response time, but it's three minutes
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: longer than you want because it can't be everywhere. But
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: you were saying this goes back to the whole gun-free thing.
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: you know, schools and, you know, why are we leaving
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: our kids so undefended?
• 46:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 46:11
  Speaker 19: Did you see that headline?
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: A deranged, violent shooter walks into a police station and
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: starts shooting at cops.
• 46:18
  Speaker 19: Have you seen that headline? Why haven't we seen that?
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: No, you don't see that so much.
• 46:22
  Speaker 19: Perhaps it's happened one time in history.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 46:24
  Speaker 19: I don't recall it happening. But you think about.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: What might drive or motivate evil folks, wicked folks, people
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: with obviously holes in their hearts, who would go and
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: shoot innocent folks, but they're angry at the system, they're
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: angry at society, they're angry at culture, whatever. Wouldn't you
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: think that maybe someone might be angry at law enforcement
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: at some point in time, but why don't they go
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: into a police station and open fire and start shooting
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: because For obvious reasons, that's a hardened facility where the
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: people would shoot back.
• 46:56
  Speaker 19: Well, why don't they go to a gun range?
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, here they were at the gun range or at
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: the gun club or at the shooting range, whatever.
• 47:02
  Speaker 19: And they started shooting at people. No, why wouldn't they
• 47:05
  Speaker 19: do that?
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Because they are calculated in the sense that soft targets
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: are soft targets.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 47:12
  Speaker 19: Fools all too often are soft targets.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: And what do you hear when these happen? often, hey,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: there wasn't an SRO or there was only one SRO.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: There probably ought to be two in every school. We
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: ought to probably fund that. A door was propped open.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: A door was left open. We weren't following security protocols.
• 47:31
  Speaker 19: There was a breach in.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: The process, if you will, of what's supposed to be
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: taking place to keep our kids safe.
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: You go back to Texas and the shooting there, the
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: door was broken and had been on a maintenance to-do
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: list for years. And I think about that because here
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: in our flagship state of Virginia, many municipalities are going
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: to vote on whether or not to give the schools
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: an extra one percent sales tax locally to do maintenance
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: on schools. And these are the same people who will
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: always say, oh, you know, it's really expensive to have
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: a school resource officer or we'll have to raise everyone's
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: taxes in order to have this school resource officer. When
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: does budgeting become, you know, an important discussion that people have, Bob?
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: And what is your allocation of funds? And what are
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: you saying about your community if you'll spend more money
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: on paving the parking lot than you will on securing
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: the building?
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Well, safety and security is a primary role of the government,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: as we know, to do the portion that citizens can't
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: do for themselves. National defense, national security, local law enforcement
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: on the local state level and so forth. But that
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: is a priority. And if the kids aren't safe, then
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: they tend not to learn very well, obviously. We can't
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: educate them if we're not keeping our kids safe. And
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: there is no perfect ability in a free society, no
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: perfect system that ensures absolute safety for any of us.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: We accept a degree of risk in a free society,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: in a free country. That is part of why the founders,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: as you know, believe that the Constitution should preserve and
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: protect a God-given right to self-defense, a God-given right to
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: protect ourselves, to protect our family, to protect ourselves from
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: our God.
• 49:20
  Speaker 19: Government, by the way. That, as you know, was essential
• 49:22
  Speaker 19: to it.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Those who don't like that, they have a mechanism to
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: change it, and it's not to infringe upon the Second
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Amendment protection to keep and bear arms, but it is
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: to change the Constitution. If there's enough of a groundswell
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: of support that you want to You don't believe in
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: this God-given right that the federal government is responsible to
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: protect and defend for.
• 49:43
  Speaker 19: Us to be armed.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: But here in Virginia, Joe, we just had Abigail Spanberger
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: and the radical leftists that run the General Assembly pass
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: a law to say you cannot carry a firearm into
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: a hospital.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: So does anyone really believe that's making hospitals more safe
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: as they have become even softer targets? And it's a
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: cliche and it's repeated, but it's true. That bad guy
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: who was intending to go into a hospital and kill people.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: is not deterred by some general assembly law that said
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: he can't take a gun in there. He already knew
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: it was illegal to go into the hospital and start
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: shooting people. But what it does is make that target
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: even softer and makes people even less safe in hospitals.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: It's good that in churches we're seeing more people armed.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: I know some pastor friends, there's a saying, hey, I
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: got a Glock for the flock.
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: Now, there's a bumper sticker. I can get behind that
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: bumper sticker. But you talk about hospitals. You saw what
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: happened to the UnitedHealthcare CEO. You know, what does it
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: take for somebody to get mad at, you know, being
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: turned down for some, you know, or his mom or
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: his wife gets turned down for some treatment. That knocks
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: his last good marble out of his hand and he forgets.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: thou shalt not murder, never mind the fact that 25
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: years since we've had thou shalt not murder on the
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: walls of our schools anyway. But, you know, they talk about, oh,
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: we don't want our kids to feel unsafe. Bob Good,
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: I'm with us from the Good for America podcast. And
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: one of the things the leftists love to say is, well,
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: we don't want our children to feel like they're in
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: a prison. My high school was built in 1933, and
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: it looks exactly like a prison. because it was built
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: on the same blueprints that prisons were. It didn't make
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: me feel less likely that I could learn. It felt
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: like it's a building, and we coddle and we obfuscate
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: our kids as if they're some fragile little toy that
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: you can't explain, hey, there are bad things that are
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: going on out there, and you need to know this.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, think about kids just... One generation, two generations ago,
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: were coming and going hunting after school, and they all
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: had rifles in the back of their cars. And they
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: went out and they went deer hunting or dove hunting,
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: which is the season now. And they had riflery classes
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: so that kids understood self-defense. And some of the gym
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: classes were judo and martial arts and understanding that. That
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: didn't make kids feel less safe. I think that made
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: them feel more safe, Bob.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, and those were in the days when states, some
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: states and many localities and municipalities.
• 52:30
  Speaker 19: Had laws that you had to be armed. There had
• 52:32
  Speaker 19: to be a gun in the home. And some of
• 52:34
  Speaker 19: those laws, as we know, are on the books. I
• 52:36
  Speaker 19: want to get this in, Joe.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Ten years ago when I was a county supervisor in
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Campbell County just outside Lynchburg, I advocated for arming school personnel.
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: Hang on to that thought one second, Bob. Hang on
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: to it one second. Bob Good, on with us.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: My name is Bobby.
• 52:52
  Speaker 18: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
