Transcript
- 0:09Speaker 1: I hope he died like a dog on a need
- 0:12Speaker 1: to know basis, because you need to know the first
- 0:16Speaker 1: thing today.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Let your rage you, George said, steal metemn every day,
- 0:25Speaker 2: at least for work.
- 0:25Speaker 3: When the sun comes up, drops a pet of the scoop.
- 0:28Speaker 4: No way, I think Joey is everything.
- 0:31Speaker 3: A dream, do all the treasures out and needs no
- 0:35Speaker 3: one that Joe's all smiled.
- 0:37Speaker 5: He only eggs.
- 0:42Speaker 6: Be Joe, thank you for letting me be of service
- 0:44Speaker 6: to you this morning.
- 0:46Speaker 3: I want to be Joe.
- 0:50Speaker 4: To any serious.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Why he is so serious?
- 0:55Speaker 6: All right, well, why is it serious? Because there's big
- 0:58Speaker 6: money at steak. We were talking about this earlier, big
- 1:02Speaker 6: money at stake in these elections. This is why the
- 1:07Speaker 6: rage must fuel you. This is why there was a
- 1:10Speaker 6: voicemail left for Tim Sheehy's senator from Minnesota by a constituent,
- 1:20Speaker 6: a city official in Helena, you know, trying to outdo
- 1:24Speaker 6: the judge from Arizona. Here go to Judge, Here go
- 1:28Speaker 6: to Judge. A story you can hear in full four
- 1:31Speaker 6: part harmony, including discussion points online at Joe Thomas in
- 1:35Speaker 6: the Morning dot com. Go to the podcast the archives,
- 1:39Speaker 6: and pick a distribution network. It's easier than just trying
- 1:41Speaker 6: to get them off the website because you have to
- 1:43Speaker 6: scroll and you do all this stuff. If you go
- 1:46Speaker 6: to Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com, there's a
- 1:48Speaker 6: menu of networks that distribute our podcast. It's Apple Podcasts,
- 1:54Speaker 6: It's iHeartMedia, It's Odyssey ironically, two companies that fired me
- 2:00Speaker 6: years and years ago, and so you can enjoy them
- 2:08Speaker 6: in all your finery there and just have them distribute
- 2:15Speaker 6: and like them please, because that helps us with our
- 2:18Speaker 6: algorithmic pursuits as well. Mike's on the line before we
- 2:22Speaker 6: head to our first things this morning. What's on your mind? Mike?
- 2:25Speaker 7: Okay, I heard you. Now Cheney passed away? Does that
- 2:32Speaker 7: mean it we can no longer play the song Cheney's
- 2:37Speaker 7: Got a Gun that Bob Rivers did years ago.
- 2:42Speaker 6: I was wondering where you were going with that song.
- 2:45Speaker 6: You know a lot of people play the Darth Vader
- 2:48Speaker 6: march from Star Wars as well there, and you know,
- 2:53Speaker 6: and I don't know, maybe as history writes his story,
- 2:56Speaker 6: it'll be told as somebody who just had a different
- 2:59Speaker 6: viewpoint of what it meant to be, you know, in
- 3:02Speaker 6: defense of Americanism, because I think it is easy to
- 3:08Speaker 6: fall prey to the trappings of America being what needs
- 3:11Speaker 6: to be defended more than the actuality of America that
- 3:14Speaker 6: needs to be defended, and.
- 3:18Speaker 7: We can go to a streams like in Brazil last
- 3:23Speaker 7: week they had twenty five hundred lineenforcements perform raids on
- 3:29Speaker 7: the community to pick up game leader well gang members,
- 3:34Speaker 7: and twenty nine people died or who is as a
- 3:37Speaker 7: don or, it's a dan Well one of those foreign
- 3:42Speaker 7: countries where one arm rebel, well armed group was controlling
- 3:49Speaker 7: the city.
- 3:50Speaker 8: They left.
- 3:51Speaker 7: Another armed group came in and said, well, you were
- 3:54Speaker 7: colluding with the first one, Now eat lead.
- 3:57Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, so how.
- 3:59Speaker 7: Do so, I'll go for our freedom of speech before
- 4:04Speaker 7: I'll go for those stream measures. Though if we do
- 4:10Speaker 7: ice right, we could have over three thousand people was
- 4:15Speaker 7: stormed Chicago and maybe quite the disruptions there, but.
- 4:22Speaker 6: That's what they're claiming. Anyway, Good stuff, Mike, you have
- 4:24Speaker 6: a great drive in and you sir, it's time for
- 4:31Speaker 6: our first things. Apologies to all the transmitter compressors that
- 4:34Speaker 6: just went WHOA, that's really allowed there. I don't know
- 4:38Speaker 6: what was on that, but as we look at our
- 4:40Speaker 6: first things this morning, Dick Cheney, former Vice President Secretary
- 4:45Speaker 6: of Defense at Al has passed away at the age
- 4:49Speaker 6: of eighty four. His family announced just a little while
- 4:52Speaker 6: ago this morning. Other first things, as we await reaction
- 4:57Speaker 6: to the passage, that's not the that's the one I want.
- 5:03Speaker 6: Cooperation between Iran and the United States is at question,
- 5:08Speaker 6: as the Iranian mullahs now say there is no such
- 5:13Speaker 6: thing as cooperation as long as the United States backs Israel.
- 5:19Speaker 6: Ayatola Ali Khameni said Monday, Americans sometimes say they would
- 5:24Speaker 6: like to cooperate with Iran. Cooperation with Iran is not
- 5:28Speaker 6: possible as long as the US continues to support the
- 5:31Speaker 6: accursed Zionist regime. And by the way, I liked Tucker
- 5:36Speaker 6: Carlson's interview. No, he didn't say that, though I added
- 5:40Speaker 6: the end for tongue in cheekness. Andrew Cuomo has picked
- 5:44Speaker 6: up a big endorsement in his race for mayor of
- 5:46Speaker 6: New York, the endorsement of Donald J. Trump, who said
- 5:50Speaker 6: that you have to vote for Cuomo to keep Zorhan Mamdani,
- 5:55Speaker 6: whom he labeled a communist, out of office. Chuck Schumer
- 6:00Speaker 6: taking his tongue in cheek and says he's going to
- 6:02Speaker 6: file the same FCC complained over Donald Trump's interview on
- 6:07Speaker 6: sixty Minutes that was filed by the President regarding Kamala
- 6:13Speaker 6: Harris's interview. Tim Sheehey of Montana was targeted with death
- 6:19Speaker 6: threats by a constituent who's matt at his votes in
- 6:23Speaker 6: the US Senate, and the White House has launched a
- 6:26Speaker 6: website detailing one hundred and fifty illegal immigrants who officials
- 6:30Speaker 6: say improperly received Medicaid benefits. And those are our first things.

- 10:07Speaker 11: diabetes heart disease and stroke kill nearly a million people
- 10:11Speaker 11: a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable
- 10:15Speaker 11: with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating,
- 10:20Speaker 11: and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about your risk
- 10:23Speaker 11: for type two diabetes and heart disease, and if your
- 10:26Speaker 11: doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The reason so

- 14:11Speaker 6: Enter online at Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com.
- 14:16Speaker 6: Now you had a question for me, doctor Clark.
- 14:18Speaker 19: Anybody at Liberty to say anything about the court case yesterday.
- 14:22Speaker 6: I have not heard. I was told by those who
- 14:25Speaker 6: were there that it went really well despite playing musical judges.
- 14:32Speaker 6: Because I guess the plaintiffs. These three court clerks asked
- 14:35Speaker 6: for a judge. That judge wasn't available. Then the next
- 14:40Speaker 6: judge on the docket came along and they're like, all right,
- 14:43Speaker 6: well he's going to be okay, And then he recused himself,
- 14:46Speaker 6: and then a Democrat appointee judge took the case but
- 14:50Speaker 6: then actually heard it with zeal and interest and seemed
- 14:55Speaker 6: very concerned about the case. So they were hopeful, but
- 15:00Speaker 6: there was still the judge had been ruminating for three
- 15:04Speaker 6: hours last time I spoke to anyone, and I have
- 15:06Speaker 6: not heard since.
- 15:08Speaker 19: So on the musical judges, my understanding is you had
- 15:12Speaker 19: a couple of recusals there and.
- 15:17Speaker 16: I don't know.
- 15:17Speaker 19: I you know, my ignorance of the court system. Do
- 15:21Speaker 19: you have to give a reason for recusal or can
- 15:24Speaker 19: you just look at something to go, yeah, if I
- 15:28Speaker 19: rule on the law, that's going to be disadvantageous to
- 15:33Speaker 19: my future political aspirations.
- 15:36Speaker 6: I don't know, and that may be the case. I
- 15:40Speaker 6: truly believe you have to give a reason. You have to,
- 15:43Speaker 6: at very least you know, file with the court your
- 15:48Speaker 6: reasons for you And I have plenty of lawyers out
- 15:51Speaker 6: there who listen to this program, and many of them
- 15:54Speaker 6: in Virginia. The court case he's speaking about is this
- 15:57Speaker 6: attempt to in this Mania to gerry manned or America
- 16:03Speaker 6: to whether it's Prop fifty in California and voters or
- 16:08Speaker 6: I guess what about two hours removed from going to
- 16:13Speaker 6: the polls in California and beginning voting on Prop fifty,
- 16:20Speaker 6: which would give their General Assembly the opportunity just to
- 16:23Speaker 6: rewrite at least it's procedurally what they're supposed to do
- 16:27Speaker 6: in California. In Virginia, they're trying to do an end
- 16:33Speaker 6: run around the process for amending the Constitution, which is
- 16:38Speaker 6: supposed to be the highest level of jurisprudence. I mean,
- 16:43Speaker 6: it's supposed to be difficult and hard to amend the Constitution,
- 16:49Speaker 6: because it's also supposed to be equally difficult to unamend
- 16:54Speaker 6: the Constitution aside from prohibition, and even then there was
- 17:04Speaker 6: some question whether they could actually get enough votes to
- 17:09Speaker 6: lift prohibition. Can you imagine trying to lift a constitutional
- 17:13Speaker 6: amendment banning alcohol today? Suppose we had a constitutional amendment
- 17:18Speaker 6: banning I don't know, marijuana, and you would never get
- 17:26Speaker 6: to the thresholds necessary to unamend the Constitution, so therefore
- 17:32Speaker 6: amending it has to come to the equally high scrutiny.
- 17:36Speaker 6: But in Virginia they're trying to circumvent all that, and
- 17:38Speaker 6: some clerks, constitutional officers elected clerks of the counties said,
- 17:46Speaker 6: you're going to force us to break the law if
- 17:49Speaker 6: you do this, Plus you weren't legally in session to
- 17:53Speaker 6: do it anyway, And they were in court yesterday and supposedly,
- 17:58Speaker 6: like I said, it was received well, but I don't know.
- 18:03Speaker 6: And having not heard after being promised that I would
- 18:06Speaker 6: be told what was going on, leaves me as I
- 18:08Speaker 6: was told yesterday, Oh, we'll call you as soon as
- 18:11Speaker 6: the judge comes back. And the fact that I didn't
- 18:13Speaker 6: hear that that puts me in a bad place when
- 18:16Speaker 6: it comes to it. I think the judge threw it out.
- 18:18Speaker 6: I think the judge said, they're the legislature and you
- 18:22Speaker 6: have to do what they say.
- 18:25Speaker 12: Now.
- 18:25Speaker 6: I don't know if the judge could rule in such
- 18:28Speaker 6: a way that says, first, the General Assembly has to
- 18:31Speaker 6: amend the rules regarding how constitutional amendments are passed on
- 18:36Speaker 6: to the voters, because in Virginia it's kind of the
- 18:39Speaker 6: backwards it's the opposite of California, see, the voters have
- 18:43Speaker 6: to say first, and then the legislature can have at it.
- 18:48Speaker 6: In Virginia, the legislature has at it, has to wait
- 18:51Speaker 6: a while, has to all has to go through an
- 18:54Speaker 6: election cycle to make sure they're all the same and
- 18:57Speaker 6: if they're not different, people can have a say in it,
- 19:01Speaker 6: and then it's supposed to come to the voters. And
- 19:07Speaker 6: they're trying to circumvent all that in a few month period, which,
- 19:13Speaker 6: as the clerk said, we can't possibly post the notice
- 19:17Speaker 6: that this is on the ballot today today. The post
- 19:22Speaker 6: would have had to have been put up ninety days
- 19:25Speaker 6: ago in order to comply with Virginia law. So I
- 19:29Speaker 6: don't know how a judge, regardless of who appointed you,
- 19:33Speaker 6: could say otherwise, regardless of political ideology. And I'm not
- 19:40Speaker 6: saying judges don't sit there and say, hmm, I wonder
- 19:44Speaker 6: what this means if I ever want to be And
- 19:46Speaker 6: I thought, you know, being appointed to a judge ship
- 19:50Speaker 6: and we're seeing Supreme Court judge races in Canian Pennsylvania,
- 19:55Speaker 6: but being appointed to a lifetime on the bench was
- 19:59Speaker 6: supposed to be eliminate that. Oh I better be you know,
- 20:02Speaker 6: played nice with my my political uh patrons, you're not
- 20:13Speaker 6: supposed to be even considering them anymore once you're appointed
- 20:17Speaker 6: to a political an a political term. That's that's what
- 20:22Speaker 6: I was always told. And of course these are the
- 20:24Speaker 6: things we have to get back to. And we were
- 20:29Speaker 6: talking about this with Dick Cheney, and I gave him
- 20:31Speaker 6: the benefit of the doubt that he might be that
- 20:33Speaker 6: person who's trying to defend the trappings of America. But
- 20:36Speaker 6: between Halliburton and all the other things that were all
- 20:39Speaker 6: too true. You're gonna go to use this all right,
- 20:48Speaker 6: that that there was an awful lot of military industrial
- 20:53Speaker 6: complex running through Dick Cheney's world. H and it was
- 21:02Speaker 6: protecting Americanism versus American versus America. Americanism like truth ism
- 21:13Speaker 6: and love ism is a fraud, is a is a
- 21:21Speaker 6: conceit that if I protect these things. It best depicted,
- 21:26Speaker 6: I think, for pop culture's sake, at the end of
- 21:30Speaker 6: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, where the Grinch thought Christmas
- 21:35Speaker 6: were the trees and the baubles and the who hash
- 21:38Speaker 6: and he stole all that thinking I'm going to stop
- 21:41Speaker 6: Christmas from coming. That was Christmasism. He stole the Christmasism,
- 21:47Speaker 6: just like you can steal Americanism, but if you stand
- 21:50Speaker 6: up for free speech and free association, freedom to publish
- 21:55Speaker 6: those sorts of things, then you stand up for America,
- 21:59Speaker 6: not American.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Is Hey Brandt and her name is Shrey I love.
- 22:04Speaker 22: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
- 22:06Speaker 22: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 23: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:11Speaker 23: talk about all the time, which is meta share. That
- 22:14Speaker 23: is right.
- 22:14Speaker 22: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
- 22:17Speaker 22: and healthcare ability?
- 22:18Speaker 23: Honestly, brant seamless and what a blessing that is when
- 22:21Speaker 23: you're already nervous about a health issue which I was.
- 22:24Speaker 23: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:27Speaker 23: me tell you, having people pray with you when you

- 23:01Speaker 2: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11Speaker 2: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:16Speaker 2: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 2: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 2: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:30Speaker 2: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:34Speaker 2: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40Speaker 2: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:44Speaker 2: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
- 23:48Speaker 2: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
- 23:53Speaker 2: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

- 28:19Speaker 6: Two guys whose names up here on no short lists
- 28:23Speaker 6: for any NCAA head coaching vacancies. Although I think I
- 28:28Speaker 6: saw mac McDonald's name mentioned in the New York Jets circle,
- 28:32Speaker 6: but that may just be a different one. I don't know. Yeah, yeah,
- 28:35Speaker 6: that's not me. Good morning Mac, our sports director. What's
- 28:38Speaker 6: in your Notebolk this morning? Well, a couple of great
- 28:41Speaker 6: things too.
- 28:42Speaker 28: One day, the Auburn Tigers fired Hugh Freezing over the weekend.
- 28:47Speaker 6: They fired him one Sunday National Championship to out the door.
- 28:51Speaker 29: You know.
- 28:51Speaker 28: It comes to the series of mediocre on field results
- 28:54Speaker 28: of course, of course, but apparently a lot of the
- 28:57Speaker 28: boosters and some of the Auburn officials are up set
- 29:00Speaker 28: because of Freeze's golf acimate.
- 29:03Speaker 6: He has a habit of golfing.
- 29:05Speaker 28: Regularly, which normally football coaches don't even touch clubs if
- 29:09Speaker 28: they play then you know. According to John Talty of
- 29:13Speaker 28: CBS Sports, even those around the program is shocked by
- 29:15Speaker 28: how often Hugh Freeze was on the golf course, you know,
- 29:19Speaker 28: during football season and stuff, and in times he would
- 29:21Speaker 28: just go to lunch and he'd go out to the
- 29:23Speaker 28: golf course and you'd watch people play. So I've apparently,
- 29:27Speaker 28: you know, if you have that obsession, it can even
- 29:30Speaker 28: cost you, you know, if you're trying to sneak away
- 29:33Speaker 28: from your QB colt today and just because you got
- 29:36Speaker 28: to play and the weather's nice. I get it all right.
- 29:39Speaker 6: This I told you.
- 29:41Speaker 28: I think yesterday that I wrote the article to YouTube.
- 29:45Speaker 28: I mean I wrote the letter to YouTube. Disney Networks
- 29:48Speaker 28: are dark on YouTube. Disney's not getting paid. It's prescriber
- 29:51Speaker 28: fees for the ten million people that subscribe to YouTube
- 29:54Speaker 28: TV and for YouTube TV every day that service doesn't
- 29:58Speaker 28: have Disney on networks, well, they are losing about one
- 30:02Speaker 28: hundred and fifty million dollars a day. Now you would think,
- 30:06Speaker 28: as I said, get this done, will you please? If not,
- 30:09Speaker 28: I mean I'll be canceling here in the next couple
- 30:12Speaker 28: of days. There are day four. By the way, if
- 30:14Speaker 28: you follow it, you're on day four of the of
- 30:17Speaker 28: the blackout. And even the Cowboys last night couldn't you know,
- 30:20Speaker 28: put the thing together. But according to numerous reports, Disney
- 30:23Speaker 28: gets about fifteen per month per subscriber, so it comes
- 30:26Speaker 28: to about one.
- 30:27Speaker 6: Hundred and fifty million dollars a day. You know what
- 30:30Speaker 6: they're doing, So hey, welcome back.
- 30:31Speaker 28: You know college basketball started last night. I counted this morning.
- 30:35Speaker 1: It took me about half a cup of coffee.
- 30:38Speaker 28: There were three hundred and thirty four teams that opened
- 30:42Speaker 28: last night and one hundred and sixty seven games.
- 30:44Speaker 6: Wow. Yeah, that's how bored I.
- 30:46Speaker 29: Was this morning.
- 30:47Speaker 28: But welcome back Mike Young. Okay, one of my absolute
- 30:51Speaker 28: favorite of course, Ryan Odam you know, and very motion
- 30:54Speaker 28: and said, you know, just said some great things. I'll
- 30:57Speaker 28: have that for you next hour. But Mike Young of
- 30:59Speaker 28: Virginia began his seventh season last night. Not a good year.
- 31:04Speaker 28: Thirteen and nineteen they were ninth in the ACC. They
- 31:06Speaker 28: won the ACC Tournament in twenty twenty two when twenty
- 31:09Speaker 28: three and thirteen they caught fire. Then they were the
- 31:12Speaker 28: first seventh seed to win the ACC Tournament. The only
- 31:15Speaker 28: reason that I bring this to the table is because
- 31:18Speaker 28: not only is he in our backyard, okay, but people
- 31:20Speaker 28: around the country need to know that this guy is
- 31:23Speaker 28: just a great guy.
- 31:25Speaker 1: Okay.
- 31:25Speaker 28: He loves his kids, loves the game. He's sixty two
- 31:28Speaker 28: years old. I don't know how many more years he's
- 31:30Speaker 28: gonna coach. You know, he had the amazing run at Wafford. Well,
- 31:34Speaker 28: he told the scribes last night. He goes, look there
- 31:38Speaker 28: are students here covering the team. Now they get all
- 31:41Speaker 28: the first questions, he goes, no, but none of you
- 31:44Speaker 28: other writers will get He goes to the student. So
- 31:46Speaker 28: the student asked him a real good question about screens
- 31:49Speaker 28: and asked him about playing defense, and he loved the question.
- 31:51Speaker 28: But no one, but no one in the country can
- 31:54Speaker 28: answer a question like Mike Young.
- 31:57Speaker 29: Greater attention to detail, just a greater at attention to
- 32:00Speaker 29: playing the damn thing the way we want to play it.
- 32:03Speaker 29: If we went under a ball under a handoff in
- 32:05Speaker 29: the first half, they stopped behind it and nailed it.
- 32:07Speaker 29: That's what good players do. You can't do that. We
- 32:09Speaker 29: didn't do it the second half. We did one time
- 32:11Speaker 29: and they made one. They're nice young men, they're like
- 32:15Speaker 29: little people. They don't always learn their lesson with that
- 32:18Speaker 29: first black on their backside. It takes them a little bit.
- 32:20Speaker 29: We're gonna get better with that.
- 32:22Speaker 28: So wow, and I've seen coaches do it. Take the
- 32:26Speaker 28: clipboard and we have them on the I had back
- 32:28Speaker 28: in high school. I had a clipboard thrown at me
- 32:30Speaker 28: because I kept running the wrong way.
- 32:32Speaker 6: That's the double ACLU will be on that like white
- 32:36Speaker 6: on rice. I always used to tell his name.
- 32:39Speaker 28: It's amazing what you remember his name is George Nicodemus.
- 32:41Speaker 28: And I always used to tell coach Nick, I said, Coach,
- 32:45Speaker 28: I thought, if I ran, that's the problem mc donald,
- 32:47Speaker 28: you thought, and so I remembered it for the rest
- 32:51Speaker 28: of my life. Okay, So people, you know, we've had
- 32:53Speaker 28: all this talk about the twenty and a half million
- 32:55Speaker 28: going to schools for NIL, you know, with the House
- 32:58Speaker 28: settlement and all the you know, eighty football programs getting
- 33:01Speaker 28: eighty percent or whatever. Have we talked any about the
- 33:04Speaker 28: basketball schools and how much basketball programs are getting the
- 33:10Speaker 28: NIL payroll for basketball Kentucky twenty two mil. Duke University,
- 33:16Speaker 28: a perennial contender, reported budget of twenty one point four
- 33:19Speaker 28: And in case you were asking, okay, Cooper Flag got
- 33:24Speaker 28: about twenty eight million in NIL money while playing in Durham. Okay,
- 33:31Speaker 28: So Auburn University, Auburn is you know, they're high on
- 33:35Speaker 28: the list. So in other words, what we're saying is
- 33:38Speaker 28: that these teams in schools are near the highest course
- 33:41Speaker 28: Saint John's, you know, teams like Saint John's, Gonzaga. They
- 33:44Speaker 28: don't have to know for the football team. Texas Tech
- 33:47Speaker 28: is up there. University of Tennessee on the list, Iowa
- 33:50Speaker 28: State is one of the top and the twenty University
- 33:52Speaker 28: of Georgia is also there.
- 33:53Speaker 6: But you know, Georgia could afford you know, the country.
- 33:55Speaker 6: Actually they could probably you know, take care of.
- 33:57Speaker 28: About four small countries the case. You know, it'll be
- 34:01Speaker 28: something that And I'm wondering if if announcers or whatever
- 34:05Speaker 28: we're ever going to work that into their stat acumen,
- 34:08Speaker 28: you know, when they're doing a game, are they actually
- 34:10Speaker 28: going to bring up to you know, here's Johnny Hodges
- 34:13Speaker 28: going to the free throw line. He's four of seven
- 34:16Speaker 28: from the floor, three of three from three, He's in
- 34:20Speaker 28: the twenty million category.
- 34:22Speaker 6: Has a deal?
- 34:23Speaker 28: I mean, are we gonna, you know, are we going
- 34:25Speaker 28: to start bringing that into.
- 34:27Speaker 6: I don't know, you know, it was interesting and I
- 34:29Speaker 6: was going to ask you about the Hall of the
- 34:32Speaker 6: Baseball Hall of Fame ballot came out and Barry Bonds
- 34:35Speaker 6: and Roger Clemens and all the steroid era guys are
- 34:37Speaker 6: starting to show up on there. But you actually talking
- 34:40Speaker 6: about and I know it's a particularly sore subject with
- 34:43Speaker 6: you ESPN and the House of Mouse not on YouTube,
- 34:49Speaker 6: but if there's going to be a saving grace for
- 34:52Speaker 6: sports broadcasting and I think the name image likeness ties
- 34:55Speaker 6: into this with me follow me for a second down
- 34:57Speaker 6: the rabbit hole, and please disregard my top hat. We're
- 35:00Speaker 6: just having tea. But the if the broadcast rights and
- 35:06Speaker 6: all the traditional broadcasts, and I say this owning a
- 35:09Speaker 6: traditional broadcast outlet, but one that's developing our own digital
- 35:14Speaker 6: marketing arm if if being able to quantify how many
- 35:19Speaker 6: people are tuned into I don't know, Monday night football
- 35:23Speaker 6: on YouTube and then you see it and you can
- 35:27Speaker 6: tell Mercedes, here's how many people clicked your ad to
- 35:32Speaker 6: get to our show or saw the ad or we're
- 35:35Speaker 6: watching during the ad. Because you've got so many more
- 35:37Speaker 6: metrics based on what you do through the interwebs. It
- 35:43Speaker 6: could save these you know, broadcasts anyway, you know, from
- 35:49Speaker 6: you know, all of a sudden losing all their sponsorship
- 35:52Speaker 6: because it's it's the one way they can turn around
- 35:55Speaker 6: to these big national sponsors and say we're still delivering
- 35:59Speaker 6: the goods now. The danger is for some of these leagues,
- 36:03Speaker 6: like the ACC, if they're not, that's a problem because no,
- 36:08Speaker 6: we're on broadcast television where we can't tell you how
- 36:10Speaker 6: few people are watching, uh, you know, Virginia Tech take
- 36:14Speaker 6: on you know, uh, South Florida state. You know that
- 36:20Speaker 6: that that maybe you think that that could be a
- 36:23Speaker 6: saving grace considering you can actually say, okay, Mercedes, here
- 36:27Speaker 6: is how many people watched that Bowl game.
- 36:30Speaker 28: Well, I know that that combined with and Joe that
- 36:34Speaker 28: you know, those are excellent points and questions, but that
- 36:37Speaker 28: combined with now and I don't subscribe, but I get
- 36:42Speaker 28: it in my email the Sports Business Journal. And what
- 36:45Speaker 28: I'm noticing more and more is that the Mercedes of
- 36:49Speaker 28: the world, the at and t's the I think they're
- 36:53Speaker 28: really intrigued by h a Cooper flag S type player
- 36:59Speaker 28: or a player that's really popular. I think they're very
- 37:01Speaker 28: intrigued by them doing, you know, representing them on national TV.
- 37:06Speaker 6: Now.
- 37:07Speaker 28: You know, even Steven A did something really you know,
- 37:10Speaker 28: he got caught last spring playing Solitaire on his phone
- 37:14Speaker 28: during the NBA Finals. Well, now he's turned it into
- 37:17Speaker 28: a profitable thing. He's representing the World Series of Solitaire,
- 37:22Speaker 28: which is going to be in Florida from the Solitaire
- 37:24Speaker 28: Cash app, which and it's a funny, funny commercial.
- 37:27Speaker 6: Maybe I'll bring it to the table tomorrow.
- 37:29Speaker 1: It's really fun.
- 37:30Speaker 6: Well that's you got to do that you've got to
- 37:33Speaker 6: turn today.
- 37:34Speaker 28: Is you know he's put that now into But Flag
- 37:37Speaker 28: got thirteen million from New Balance as an example, so
- 37:41Speaker 28: you know an off shoe brand that needed to grab somebody.
- 37:43Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a little thirteen mil pay. It is perilous though,
- 37:47Speaker 6: because these are eighteen year olds and they might tweet
- 37:49Speaker 6: something you never know knowing that he was going to
- 37:52Speaker 6: go number one in the end. Sure, So all right,
- 37:55Speaker 6: good stuffy Tuesday. You're my number one draft tip. Yeah,
- 37:58Speaker 6: you're the best you had me at Oh Hi.

- 38:13Speaker 18: most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case. Why because
- 38:17Speaker 18: most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway than
- 38:21Speaker 18: trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
- 38:24Speaker 18: My Financial Fitness team has put together some materials that
- 38:27Speaker 18: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
- 38:29Speaker 18: Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
- 38:35Speaker 18: top ten ways to pay less than taxes, and an
- 38:38Speaker 18: investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you get it

- 44:20Speaker 6: That's me four three four eight eight two four two
- 44:23Speaker 6: one seven. Thank you for joining us this morning. Friends
- 44:28Speaker 6: from the Alzheimer's Associates shows check and I think there's
- 44:31Speaker 6: like two walks left to take place anywhere in the
- 44:36Speaker 6: continental United States, and they're all down in Florida. I
- 44:39Speaker 6: think there's a couple coming up this weekend. We had
- 44:42Speaker 6: a few last weekend as well. Sherry Owen of the
- 44:45Speaker 6: Alzheimer's Association just finished up one in harrison Burg. Our fine,
- 44:50Speaker 6: go dukes there. How are you doing this morning, Sherry?
- 44:55Speaker 1: I'm good.
- 44:56Speaker 30: Not only did we finish Harrisonburg on Saturday, but we
- 44:59Speaker 30: were a new river Valley in Christiansburg on Sunday. So
- 45:02Speaker 30: all seven of our walks in the Central and Western
- 45:05Speaker 30: Virginia region are completed for twenty twenty five.
- 45:09Speaker 6: And a reminder, if you missed it and you're like,
- 45:12Speaker 6: oh my gosh, I meant to do that, you can fundraise,
- 45:15Speaker 6: get and raise money for it. Go for a walk now.
- 45:18Speaker 6: It's a beautiful time a year to go for a walk.
- 45:21Speaker 30: It absolutely is, and we're fundraising obviously until December thirty first,
- 45:26Speaker 30: and there are a couple of walks in our region
- 45:29Speaker 30: that we are trying to close the gap. So we're
- 45:34Speaker 30: just asking everybody to be thoughtful and think about the
- 45:38Speaker 30: Alzheimer's Association as we close out this year.
- 45:41Speaker 6: And it is always with the nonprofits in you know,
- 45:45Speaker 6: in those charitable organizations, these groups like the Alzheimer's Association, Sherry,
- 45:51Speaker 6: when times get rough, it's harder for them because the
- 45:54Speaker 6: need goes up and the resource goes down. And so
- 45:59Speaker 6: a blessing on all those who have been able to
- 46:01Speaker 6: raise money for the Alzheimer's Association so that you can
- 46:04Speaker 6: keep doing your work so it doesn't get shut down
- 46:07Speaker 6: like other things.
- 46:10Speaker 30: Correct. So we are three hundred and sixty five days
- 46:12Speaker 30: a year, and our hotline is the twenty four to
- 46:15Speaker 30: seven Hotline, which people when they donate and fundraise, know
- 46:21Speaker 30: that that money goes back into our community for things
- 46:25Speaker 30: like the hotline. But it's also important to remember, you know,
- 46:28Speaker 30: Joe November's National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and Caregivers Month,
- 46:34Speaker 30: and so what a wonderful time this month in November
- 46:39Speaker 30: to honor somebody who's a caregiver, because we have over
- 46:43Speaker 30: twelve million caregivers and family members who are unpaid across
- 46:50Speaker 30: the United States. I was one of them, your family
- 46:52Speaker 30: was one of them. We know what that is like.
- 46:56Speaker 30: And so what a wonderful opportunity to honor somebody who
- 47:00Speaker 30: is a caregiver.
- 47:02Speaker 6: And it's a double edged conundrum because not only in
- 47:06Speaker 6: many cases do you have to step out of the workforce.
- 47:09Speaker 6: Whatever it is you were doing for your community, you
- 47:12Speaker 6: are going to have to step away from it because
- 47:14Speaker 6: there's no question caring for somebody who's descending into Alzheimer's
- 47:18Speaker 6: is full time, and so that's lost to your community,
- 47:22Speaker 6: that benefit that you're creating through your work. And there
- 47:27Speaker 6: is a heavy cost as Alzheimer's takes a toll medically
- 47:33Speaker 6: and those sorts of things. So it's a double whammy. Really,
- 47:36Speaker 6: you lose out on your income and you're spending a
- 47:39Speaker 6: lot more money on care for your loved one.
- 47:43Speaker 30: True and what I hear a lot and I'm sure
- 47:46Speaker 30: you all experience this also is so many caregivers are
- 47:51Speaker 30: reluctant to ask for help because they're so overwhelmed, but
- 47:53Speaker 30: they feel like caring for their loved one is their responsibility.
- 47:57Speaker 30: I know because I was my mom's caregiver. I knew
- 47:59Speaker 30: I could do it. I was the one that was
- 48:02Speaker 30: going to do it. But yet it's so important to
- 48:06Speaker 30: be proactive and to help those who are caregiving for
- 48:09Speaker 30: others and offer to help run an errand or sit
- 48:13Speaker 30: for an hour or something because it's hard for caregivers.
- 48:17Speaker 6: That is very much so. Now I know that was
- 48:19Speaker 6: a there's an event with something's going on today? All
- 48:23Speaker 6: these people, Oh yeah, yeah, it's election Day. I knew
- 48:25Speaker 6: there was something going on today, Sherry, But twenty in
- 48:29Speaker 6: twenty odd days, I noticed I was in wah Wah,
- 48:32Speaker 6: which is a convenience store here in the mid Atlantic,
- 48:36Speaker 6: and they have their their wah Wah gobblers for sale.
- 48:40Speaker 6: Now it's I guess it's it's turkey, it's mashed potatoes,
- 48:44Speaker 6: it's it's stuffing, it's cranberry sauce all on a bun.
- 48:48Speaker 6: I don't know if I want my things.
- 48:49Speaker 30: Trying to figure out where this is going.
- 48:52Speaker 6: Thanksgivings coming up, and one of the things that I
- 48:56Speaker 6: really love about the Alzheimer's Association is how you help
- 49:00Speaker 6: families and certainly giving thanks to those who are caregivers,
- 49:04Speaker 6: but also as family wants to be around. There are
- 49:09Speaker 6: family traditions that maybe have to be tweaked. You're there
- 49:13Speaker 6: to help families who have to try to figure out
- 49:16Speaker 6: a whole new world as maybe Grandma is descending into
- 49:20Speaker 6: Alzheimer's Thanksgiving like you always did. It isn't necessarily going
- 49:24Speaker 6: to work, and you're great for helping out with that
- 49:27Speaker 6: so important.
- 49:28Speaker 30: We get calls about that all the time. You know,
- 49:31Speaker 30: how do I navigate that and how should I prepare
- 49:34Speaker 30: the family? Because our loved one is just not what
- 49:38Speaker 30: they're remembering, and so it does take a strain on families.
- 49:44Speaker 30: And the Alzheimer's Association is here to help. Call the
- 49:48Speaker 30: twenty four hour hotline, ask those questions, get some tips.
- 49:53Speaker 30: Go to alz dot org. There's so much information on
- 49:57Speaker 30: there for caregivers just for this situation. The holidays are tough,
- 50:02Speaker 30: and I understand that, but you know, the things that
- 50:05Speaker 30: are familiar to the loved one are very helpful. Music
- 50:10Speaker 30: is helpful. There's so many and all of these resources
- 50:13Speaker 30: are on alz dot org and on that phone call,
- 50:16Speaker 30: that twenty four hour phone call.
- 50:19Speaker 6: And it's such a moving target because I know that,
- 50:22Speaker 6: you know, one year it's really good to have everyone around,
- 50:26Speaker 6: and then the next year it's bad. You know, it's
- 50:30Speaker 6: Alzheimer's is such a movable target, you don't know. And
- 50:34Speaker 6: that's why being able to call and say, hey, last year,
- 50:37Speaker 6: everyone came and mom loved it, and this year she's
- 50:40Speaker 6: crying and she's upset and I don't know what to do.
- 50:43Speaker 6: You know, being able to call a human being who's
- 50:46Speaker 6: trained up to do this is you know, as the
- 50:50Speaker 6: quote from the speech I gave, why we walks, it's
- 50:55Speaker 6: why we walk, and it's.
- 50:58Speaker 30: Health important, staffed by people day and night. So eight
- 51:02Speaker 30: hundred two seven nine hundred for anybody who's listening and
- 51:06Speaker 30: may need that information. But I think it's also important
- 51:09Speaker 30: to know that donations and any fundraising from now until
- 51:13Speaker 30: the end of the year also go towards all of
- 51:18Speaker 30: that information goes towards caregivers. Support, goes towards the helpline,
- 51:22Speaker 30: and it goes towards the research that's finding that cure.
- 51:26Speaker 6: Amen to that Cherryoh and Alzheimer's Association here in our
- 51:30Speaker 6: flagship area Central and Western Virginia finally gets to put
- 51:33Speaker 6: down all the walk signs and my buddy Conan do
- 51:37Speaker 6: a great job making them for you. There, yea, And
- 51:41Speaker 6: so now it's on to the holidays. Now she's sitting
- 51:44Speaker 6: there saying, oh gosh, Josepid the T word. Now I
- 51:47Speaker 6: have to go get the turkey thawing in the sink
- 51:50Speaker 6: or something. But that's just me. I'm just I'm just
- 51:53Speaker 6: the stink bomb in the bathroom.
- 51:55Speaker 12: Uh.
- 51:55Speaker 6: And I'll be back, yeah, I see you will, absolutely, Cherio,
- 51:59Speaker 6: And thank you so much, dear, and I'll talk to
- 52:00Speaker 6: you soon.
- 52:02Speaker 7: I look forward to it.
- 52:03Speaker 3: Thanks boe bye.

- 52:07Speaker 6: more of If there's a Thanksgiving theme, I don't want
- 52:12Speaker 6: you coming to Thanksgiving because you voted for such and

- 52:34Speaker 6: there's a holiday gift giving stick that and everyone's stocking.
- 52:39Speaker 6: Think of a different way to say it, but yes,
- 52:42Speaker 6: give everyone the gift of the ability to have a
- 52:45Speaker 6: conversation again as we get around Thanksgiving. And I don't
- 52:48Speaker 6: mean just giving in and agreeing with your.
