  Speaker 10: importantly finding out how what went on last night is

• 1:13
  Speaker 10: text message because I do get it. I understand how
• 1:17
  Speaker 10: mornings can be insane. It's I always muse that at
• 1:22
  Speaker 10: some point some linguistics expert is going to find some
• 1:27
  Speaker 10: hieroglyph that's going to prove that the word morning is
• 1:31
  Speaker 10: an ancient Greek word for last minute, because that's what
• 1:35
  Speaker 10: it seems like everything we do is last minute in
• 1:38
  Speaker 10: the morning. Uh So, I understand you don't have time
• 1:40
  Speaker 10: to get on chat, so yell something into voice to
• 1:43
  Speaker 10: text and shoot it off to us at.

• 1:55
  Speaker 10: Already been across the UN, just to me, having grown
• 1:59
  Speaker 10: up in the world of dueling vetos, either the Soviet
• 2:04
  Speaker 10: Union or the United States was vetoing everything at the

• 2:11
  Speaker 10: on the Gaza peace deal put together by Witkoff and.
• 2:17
  Speaker 9: Kushner.
• 2:18
  Speaker 10: I was just stunned by that, and maybe you were
• 2:21
  Speaker 10: the same, So share on that. Certainly, the revelations of
• 2:24
  Speaker 10: a seven year bromance between the former Treasury Secretary at
• 2:30
  Speaker 10: Harvard President Larry Summers and Jeffrey Epstein, and a reminder,
• 2:36
  Speaker 10: the key is to first and foremost not forget the
• 2:40
  Speaker 10: absolute dehumanizing horror that this guy was using for his
• 2:48
  Speaker 10: either his own gain or someone else's own gain. And
• 2:52
  Speaker 10: that's where it becomes who knew what and when and
• 2:56
  Speaker 10: what were the decisions that weren't made or were made
• 2:59
  Speaker 10: in a different because of those corruptions. So we got
• 3:03
  Speaker 10: plenty to get into this morning. Also the FCC. I

• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Media Network. All natural and free of artificial intelligence?
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Easy?
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: Easy? You mean Roku and substack? Yeah? YouTube and YouTube
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: and substack.
• 13:57
  Speaker 10: They've replaced TV and the magazine. Although there is probably
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: a market for a maga zine. I want to take
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: the Federal Communications Commission out behind the woodshed a little bit,
• 14:11
  Speaker 10: because if there is a hot mess exemplar of all
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: the things wrong in Washington, the Federal Communications Commission, even
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: under Brendan Carr, is a fine example of it. But
• 14:22
  Speaker 10: let me get to you first, because we promised. I
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: want to hear how the news of the day is
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: impacting you where you are. Good morning, You're on the air,
• 14:29
  Speaker 10: first thing this morning with Joe Thomas.
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: Who's this.
• 14:33
  Speaker 24: Morning? So it's funny that you mentioned the FCC. It's
• 14:38
  Speaker 24: a burning mess because if I understand right, you're just
• 14:43
  Speaker 24: on fire, burning up the airways to the point where
• 14:46
  Speaker 24: your flagship transmitter was setting the Sanmandoa National First on fire.
• 14:53
  Speaker 10: No, that was just an unfortunate association. And yes, there
• 15:00
  Speaker 10: was a forest fire right right next to our transmitter
• 15:04
  Speaker 10: towers yesterday because we high winds. Mid Atlantic is getting
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: hit by you know, fifty sixty mile an hour winds
• 15:12
  Speaker 10: and very dry conditions, so we've been having these conflagrations,
• 15:16
  Speaker 10: especially in the National Forest here on the Blue Ridge Mountains.
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: And yeah, it was right right next to our transmitter.
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: I have a photograph of they had extended the Department
• 15:27
  Speaker 10: of Forestry, folks had finally put the fire out and
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: there's white smoke wafting up right next to our transmitter tower.
• 15:35
  Speaker 10: I don't know if we can use that as a
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: promotional but you know, Hot Talk Thomas in the morning
• 15:42
  Speaker 10: or something. But it's good to be back on. Yeah,
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: that's it. I'm glad we're back on though there because
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: it's it's it was. It was daunting because you know,
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: when I just worked for broadcasters, silence drove me crazy.
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: Now that I own my own radio station and all
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: the folks along the network as well at Blessings, But uh,
• 16:07
  Speaker 10: if there if there is a transmitter that's not on,
• 16:10
  Speaker 10: it's it it.
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: I woke up this morning with a bloody nose.
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: I'm so stressed right now because of transmitters being off
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: and and things like that. I woke up this morning,
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: I'm like, what the heck? And it's like, you know,
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: I was just had to sit for a little bit.
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: I'm like, what the heck have I done to myself?
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: If I'm waking up in the middle of the night
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: with massive nosebleeds, you know you got to check yourself
• 16:34
  Speaker 10: before you wreck yourself.
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: Mike, I feel good.
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: I mean, I just I must have been stressed all
• 16:38
  Speaker 10: day yesterday with my transmitters being off.
• 16:43
  Speaker 24: Uh, as a manager, you got enough head nights when
• 16:46
  Speaker 24: you add the ownership, then the how much is costing
• 16:50
  Speaker 24: you and revenue, and how do you continue paying the employees,
• 16:54
  Speaker 24: and how does Demand and Energy expect you to pay
• 16:59
  Speaker 24: a bill when they're out there parking sayings. It's a
• 17:05
  Speaker 24: little frustrating, But the real reason I called was I
• 17:09
  Speaker 24: just wanted to remind you forget that God given rights,
• 17:13
  Speaker 24: that these truths we hold to be your parts. Remember
• 17:20
  Speaker 24: the three guarantees of light death taxes. And the check
• 17:25
  Speaker 24: is in the mail.
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: That's right, you know, what is it?
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: The great lies? You know the check is in the mail.
• 17:33
  Speaker 10: Of course I love you in the morning. No, of course,
• 17:37
  Speaker 10: I'll respect you in the morning.
• 17:39
  Speaker 18: Uh.
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: There and and all you'll hear it all, especially as
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: campaign season it kicks up there. Well, that's part of
• 17:45
  Speaker 10: the problem though, Guys like Tim Kaine and you know,
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: the the Maxine Waters and that crowd aoc. They're out
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: there trying to tell people we can invent rights for you,
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: and and it's it's a game where they've made us
• 18:02
  Speaker 10: so poor. Their policies have made more and more of
• 18:05
  Speaker 10: us struggling to make ends meet. And so then when
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: they come in and say, well we could just guarantee
• 18:11
  Speaker 10: you housing, we're ready on a larger and larger percentage
• 18:16
  Speaker 10: every year to say, Okay, fine, you win. I don't
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: need free speech. I don't need the right to worship
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: as I see fit. I'll trade that. It's like, let's
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: make a deal. What will you trade for what's behind
• 18:28
  Speaker 10: door number two?
• 18:29
  Speaker 24: Mike, I'll trade the reopening of the goatment for Lucky
• 18:38
  Speaker 24: Lupkiss's business, the Lucky Charm business and those listening out
• 18:47
  Speaker 24: of state. She's like a delegate, speaker of the House,
• 18:52
  Speaker 24: and she does in items that make people feel good
• 18:57
  Speaker 24: with THHB or whatever it's DC.
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: It's it's it's just shy of being a head shop there.
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: And she's been busted several times for selling stuff with
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: actual inebriates in there.
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: But they're close now.
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: They say that maybe this year will be able to
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: buy and sell Virginia taxed marijuana at the store because
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: they don't they don't know how to enact the sales tax.
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: Mike, Like, that's laughable. They must be high.
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: Un now, Well, you go ahead and do that. I
• 19:32
  Speaker 10: appreciate it, and I appreciate you coming back all right,
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: thank you sir. You know, And is that always the
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: fear when you're off the air, that nobody's going to
• 19:41
  Speaker 10: come back the next day.
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: That always is the fear.
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: That's the the part of why when there's silence, you
• 19:49
  Speaker 10: go oh no, even worse if a transmitter is off.
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: So the Federal Communication Commission Brendon Carr received a harsh rebuke.
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: Legal scholar Brian Fitzpatrick declared that the in an amicus brief,
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: that the FCC has no lawful authority to alter the
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: television ownership cap. Now, if you've missed this story, the
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: television owners, in a rare case of oh punish me,
• 20:20
  Speaker 10: punish me, want the FCC to lift a cap on
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: ownership so that they could own all the TV stations
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: in an area or a region because nothing could possibly
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: go wrong with that. And they're doing it because they're
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: saying that their real competition.
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: Now is not one another.
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: So Gray and all the TV operators, Next Star and
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: all these people, we're not really competing with one another.
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: We're competing with Google.
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: That's our argument to Brendan Carr, the Federal Communications Commission,
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: So they want to lift ownership cap on both radio
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: and television. And just got advice for my nosebleed. Better
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: put some ice on?
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: That does?
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: Can I put bourbon in the ice. You know, I
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: don't know is that does that said the same thing?
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: It's it is stopped by now.
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: Otherwise this is what you would have heard about four
• 21:23
  Speaker 9: hours ago.
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: The the the ownership caps would be lifted on both
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: television and radio. So it's conceivable that the local operators
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: that you're listening to us on would go away and
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: you would have just you know, one or two big
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: networks worth of programs offered, because it's like the old days,
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: the Mutual Network and the AND and BBC, and local
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: programming would become harder and harder to come by because
• 21:53
  Speaker 10: the complaint is we have to compete with Google. I'll
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: blow that up a little bit when we come back
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: from the other side. They're also wrong of license.
• 22:02
  Speaker 25: Hey, Brandt, and her name is Shary I love. She's
• 22:05
  Speaker 25: a friend of mine whom we were just praying for
• 22:07
  Speaker 25: because of a surgery. She just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 26: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:12
  Speaker 26: talk about all the time, which.
• 22:13
  Speaker 25: Is meta share. That is right, Yeah, So what was
• 22:16
  Speaker 25: your experience like with meta share and health care ability?
• 22:19
  Speaker 26: Honestly, Brandt, seamless and what a blessing that is when
• 22:22
  Speaker 26: you're already nervous about a health issue which I was.
• 22:25
  Speaker 26: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:28
  Speaker 26: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:31
  Speaker 26: call in with your need.
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: That is just yes, refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 26: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: What I keep telling people.
• 22:36
  Speaker 25: People love meta share and they love saving money. The
• 22:40
  Speaker 25: typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
• 22:43
  Speaker 26: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
• 22:47
  Speaker 26: and I mean different in a very very good way.
• 22:49
  Speaker 25: It is good different Call now. They're easy to talk
• 22:51
  Speaker 25: to and you can get a price within two minutes.
• 22:53
  Speaker 25: Call eight five five Share forty. That's eight five five
• 22:57
  Speaker 25: s h a r E forty eight five five share forty.

  Speaker 8: Hi.
• 23:02
  Speaker 27: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
• 23:07
  Speaker 27: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
• 23:12
  Speaker 27: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
• 23:16
  Speaker 27: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
• 23:21
  Speaker 27: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
• 23:25
  Speaker 27: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:31
  Speaker 27: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:35
  Speaker 27: on patients, but, as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:40
  Speaker 27: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:45
  Speaker 27: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
• 23:48
  Speaker 27: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
• 23:53
  Speaker 27: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

  Speaker 28: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 24:09
  Speaker 28: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch and nitric
• 24:14
  Speaker 28: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:19
  Speaker 28: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 28: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 24:28
  Speaker 28: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 28: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 28: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:40
  Speaker 28: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:43
  Speaker 28: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,

• 28:20
  Speaker 10: join us from his desk at full Sale University, where
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: he runs the Dan Patrick School of Sportscasting.
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: And Mac, I got to tell you something, you know.
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: I know you've got big doings going on in college
• 28:34
  Speaker 10: football and the hirings begin. I don't know if these
• 28:39
  Speaker 10: guys are quite aware of the changes in places, you know.
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: And I was telling you off air. Having lived in
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: State College, Pennsylvania for a while, one of the great
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: true marvels of the world were the fifty thousand or
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: so people that would show up for a Penn State
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: football home game that never had a ticket. All they
• 28:58
  Speaker 10: did was by a parking pass. They'd pull their RV
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: into the parking lot, set up the big TV outside,
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: all their friends would come over, they'd have a big party.
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: Never buy a ticket for the game. I mean, and
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: that's on top of the one hundred and ten thousand
• 29:13
  Speaker 10: in the stadium.
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: I mean, the city was in state.
• 29:16
  Speaker 10: And as much as love Virginia Tech, it's it's not
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: the same world he's trading. We were trying to get
• 29:22
  Speaker 10: the sound effect of the Nitney Lion that they play
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: whenever something good happens at Beaver Stadium. And I'm not
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: sure sure if Wow is the same as but you know,
• 29:34
  Speaker 10: I guess you know.
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: He's made his choice.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Well really from the get the committee, the committee had
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: a list, Okay, it always starts with the list, and
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Shane Beemer and James Franklin in the very beginning, we're
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: probably running one two one two two one, you know, okay, Abba.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: So I was surprised really in the beginning, in the
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: first couple of weeks that Shane Beamer was not really
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: shown any interest. Shan Biember didn't make any phone calls,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: he didn't really pursue it. He kept telling the South
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Carolina football people, look, I'm here, I want to build here,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I want to stay here.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: So Shane maybe in his mind and someday, you know,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: but I will get a chance to talk to him again,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: because probably it was talking about Bud Foster, but probably
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: it was Shane. You know, my dad was there. Why
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I don't want to coach in a shadow. And some
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: people are like, I get that, you know, I understand.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: But the other so, the other thing with Franklin and
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: why they were so aggressive with Franklin was okay, but
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the thing they had to put together, and now it
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: comes to surface.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Franklin was originally.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Owed a forty nine million dollar buyout after being fired
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: October twelfth. Okay, and part of his deal with the
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Hokies was and now is a nine million dollar settlement
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: from Penn State. And then I think and Virginia Tech's
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: not really talking about, but I'm sure they're going to
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: supplement some of that buyout over like three years. It
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: could be retention bonuses, could be you know whatever. But
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: now that that got so in other words, Franklin said, okay,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and he's fifty three years old, and he said, okay,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: So with you know, with all that being said, all right, now,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: a couple of things in a previous interview, just so
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: you hear kind of the mantra and what's happening as
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: far as coaches are concerned. He has twenty former Penn
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: State players on his staff doing you know, various It
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: could be grad sistance, it could be you know, he's
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: got so how much how many of the Penn Staters
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: are coming to Blacksburg. Well, anyway, Franklin always had a
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: feeling about coaches and how he wanted to manage your
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: coaching staff.
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: I think curiosity is a really important trait, right. Somebody
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: that is curious about a lot of different things wants
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: to grow once to evolve as a lifelong learner. Once
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: you think you got this thing figured out in this profession,
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: that's when your career is going in the tank.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so what you want to do is make sure
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: you've got these coaches that ask a lot of questions.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Then you know he wants that feedback.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: He I hate the narcissist is just a word that
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: people don't like to hear, and they think it's a
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: real no.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: No, he's a micro manager.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: He admits he's a micromanager, but he but he says
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: he's gotten a little softer over the years, but he.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: He's got it's what it's saban esque.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, And you know, if you read the Saman book
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and go Saban, Saban used to choose the lettuce on
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: the training table.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: He wanted every inch. That's true, every.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Inch of the program was under Saban's thumb when they
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: would play pick up basketball, when you know, everything was
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: under the watchful eye of Nick Saban. Okay, if you
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: go back into history, generals and presidents, and you know,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: probably it's been a lot of the same, right, all right,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: But as far as teaching, he loves Franklin loves teaching kids,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and you know it's such a big part.
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: I'm going to tell you when I hire you, I'm
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: a micro manager. I'm going to be a micro manager
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: and I'm going to be obsessed until the person showed
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: me that they're going to do the job at a
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: level that we needed done. Then I'm gonna walk away,
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: because let's be honest, I can't be running all the
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: different departments. So that's where hiring really good people is
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: very important. And then at that point you let him
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: run with it. Over the last probably ten years that
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: I've really tried to spend my time as the head coaches,
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: how can we create the best teaching environments. How can
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: we create the best learning environments?
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: So and he's had Ted talks. He loves videos. He
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: took a Gruden video talking about you know when Gruden
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: spoke at Wisconsin, you know, talking about how to play defense,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: how to win so and so over.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how did that work?
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Coach?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Anyway, when you look at Franklin had significant recruiting ties
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: to the state of Virginia, Hampton Roads area around Virginia Tech.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: He's a big name right now, Virginia's most fertile recruiting ground.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: As recently as the twenty twenty three class, they had
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: signed six of the top ten in this Virginia. So anyway,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: with coaches with players, he is definitely a micromanager naturally,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: you know, talking about his best two hours of the day.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: You're gonna hear a lot of these same comments tomorrow
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: because he's just you know, he's gonna spew the philosophy
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: and you know, and talk about that. And I think,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: no doubt the Virginia Tech Committee is probably kicking back
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: with with Big Bud Foster, you know, lunch, Pale Foundation
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: cigars and a bottle of Wind vodka, you know, from
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: because I think they're gonna feel awfully good about what
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: they accomplished and how they accomplished it. Bud knew something
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: when I texted him yesterday. Again, he never gave me
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: one ounce of information. Mine came from other sources and
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: people that I know and in the colleague ranks and
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: so on and so forth. But I texted Bud yesterday,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I said, can we record Foster and Friends on Thursday?
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I just had a feeling that I didn't want to
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: record today, not knowing for sure.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: That Franklin was hired. So I said, we're going to
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: record on Thursday.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Is that okay? And he sends me texts perfect. So
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: when Bud tells me perfect, then I know, okay, it's
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: in the wind.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to bother, but I didn't want to.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll probably text him today and say, well congrats,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: because I know.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: There was a lead man on the committee.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know his name, but he was an army
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: general and he wanted Franklin in the worst way because
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: just you know, they they were doing everything they could
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: to put this together to you know, impress. They've already
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: had him in Blacksburg couple of times. They took him
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: around neighborhoods. They showed, you know, they did all that,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: and so the thirty sixth at football coach will be
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: a big name now again. I got one negative text,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: and I told you this yesterday. I'll repeat myself. A
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: negative text from a guy who knows a lot about
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Penn State used to work there. I'm not gonna tell
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: you who it is, but he goes. People at Penn
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: State were not happy with Franklin. They say, you know,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: he because of being a micromanager and a narcissist.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: His graduation rates weren't good. He had his finger on
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: the pulse of everything.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: And sometimes football coaches can really irritate, you know, al Grow.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I loved al Grow, Okay, he's the one coach that
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time with.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: But I watched what.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Al Grow did with his system, and you know, going
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: from pros to college and college and pro, you know
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: what al Grow was the same way. That's the way
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: these guys, mostly the Sabans outgrows. Jimbo Fish is inter
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: coach here, whatever coach Ki is now, all the all
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: the really really good coaches are like this a lot.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: It's their way or no way, sure, and they're going
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: to ruffle feathers a lot of times with the president
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: or with the ad.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: It just happens that way.
• 36:41
  Speaker 10: But it has to be because if you and this
• 36:44
  Speaker 10: has been my life lessons is if you change who
• 36:49
  Speaker 10: you are because of the person who hired you, then
• 36:53
  Speaker 10: they a they're a pretty bad judge of people because
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: they shouldn't have hired somebody that you know, it's.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: A good point. That's a great point.
• 37:00
  Speaker 10: And if you're gonna go down in flames, at least
• 37:02
  Speaker 10: go down in your own airplane, flying your own way.
• 37:06
  Speaker 10: It's a good point because you know, what's the point.
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: And I did this, and you know, my wife and
• 37:13
  Speaker 10: I still harbor ill will towards Hyennas, Massachusetts for no
• 37:17
  Speaker 10: particularly good reason. We thought it was beautiful there, made
• 37:19
  Speaker 10: good friends, but we hated working there because of the situation.
• 37:24
  Speaker 10: So you got to fly your own plane, man, Yeah, no,
• 37:26
  Speaker 10: that's a good point.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: And and and speaking of which, and you couldn't have
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: said it. Better go back and watch Top Gun Maverick,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: where Tom Cruise has to teach the guys talk about
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: flying your own plane. Tom Cruise said it could be
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: done in three seconds or whatever, fifteen seconds it's got
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: to be done in fifteen seconds and the target and
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: uh and he did it.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: He proved so it was his way or no way.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: And he told John Hamm basically, you're wrong. So that's great. Yeah,
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: that's good show. So you're gonna go back anyway. You
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: gotta put up the press conference.
• 37:54

  Speaker 31: Why because most people spend more time planning next weekends
• 38:21
  Speaker 31: getaway than trying to ensure they're going to pay less

  Speaker 10: I know that we talk about this frequently around the holidays.
• 46:25
  Speaker 10: People are going to go visit mom and dad or
• 46:28
  Speaker 10: brothers and sisters and notice stuff. And I know that
• 46:32
  Speaker 10: it's it's uncomfortable to talk about it. But the Alzheimer's

  Speaker 10: Association website.
• 46:36
  Speaker 9: Even if you're.
• 46:37
  Speaker 10: Driving to work right now and thinking, oh, it's not me,

  Speaker 10: if they they may be showing signs and you don't
• 46:46
  Speaker 10: know it.
• 46:46
  Speaker 9: And I'm going to bear testimony.
• 46:49
  Speaker 10: I for almost a decade watched my father in law
• 46:54
  Speaker 10: give up on the things he loved to do the most,
• 46:56
  Speaker 10: the things that were essential to who he was. And
• 47:01
  Speaker 10: I watched it happen, Dad, where's your video camera? Oh,
• 47:05
  Speaker 10: I don't want it's pain and that, and these were
• 47:09
  Speaker 10: all red flags that he was beginning to descend into Alzheimer's.
• 47:12
  Speaker 10: And I had no idea. But if I had gone
• 47:14
  Speaker 10: to alz dot org, they have tips and warning signs.
• 47:17
  Speaker 10: Mary talk about, you know what happens around the holidays
• 47:21
  Speaker 10: with people who don't necessarily see each other every day.
• 47:25
  Speaker 32: Well, that's just it, Joe. You may not see your
• 47:28
  Speaker 32: mom or dad until around the holidays, and you know,
• 47:34
  Speaker 32: it's always something to be concerned about if they stopped
• 47:38
  Speaker 32: doing something they love. Like you just said, he no
• 47:42
  Speaker 32: longer wanted to use his video camera a lot of
• 47:44
  Speaker 32: times around a holiday, it's recipes. If there's something that
• 47:48
  Speaker 32: your mom or your sister, your aunt has always made
• 47:52
  Speaker 32: and this year they didn't make it because they said, oh,
• 47:55
  Speaker 32: we don't want that anymore, you know, or it may
• 47:59
  Speaker 32: be just because they weren't able to do that. But
• 48:03
  Speaker 32: if you go to alz dot org slash ten signs,
• 48:07
  Speaker 32: we have all those things to look at to see
• 48:09
  Speaker 32: what is normal and what may not be that you
• 48:13
  Speaker 32: want to talk to a doctor and maybe go with
• 48:16
  Speaker 32: your loved one to the doctor and talk about these
• 48:18
  Speaker 32: things you're seeing.
• 48:19
  Speaker 10: Yeah, no, absolutely there. It is so helpful. Plus the
• 48:23
  Speaker 10: twenty four hour tip line. The only time I've ever
• 48:26
  Speaker 10: needed it was on Christmas Day, bona fide, Christmas Day,
• 48:30
  Speaker 10: twelve noon, I'm calling the hotline for the Alzheimer's Association.
• 48:36
  Speaker 10: Wonderful young man right there, ready to answer my questions.

  Speaker 32: the year, twenty four hours a day. Also the website
• 49:06

  Speaker 32: take some online trainings if you're a caregiver, to learn
• 49:13
  Speaker 32: more about what you're seeing and what you may be

  Speaker 32: and coming up for you, find a support group. All
• 49:21
  Speaker 32: of those things at AOZ dot org are funded by

  Speaker 32: us to be able to provide free in the community
