  Speaker 1: We've cut the cost of radio listening by... Hell, it

  Speaker 2: One million dollars!
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: And call it even. First Thing Today by Joe Thomas
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: on the Talk Media Network.

  Speaker 4: he needs.
• 0:41
  Speaker 6: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: this morning. It's the radio program that has seen technological
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: advances come and go.
• 0:52
  Speaker 7: And like the cockroaches we are, we keep going. Every
• 0:56
  Speaker 7: time there's some new media that puts everyone else out
• 0:59
  Speaker 7: of business, there's the radio. All because you can take
• 1:04
  Speaker 7: me with you where you are by getting the amplitude
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: or frequency modulation tied in and then hanging along. It's
• 1:13
  Speaker 7: not a participation sport by law, but it's much more
• 1:17
  Speaker 7: fun when it is. Tell me how the news of
• 1:19
  Speaker 7: the day is impacting you where you are. I think
• 1:23
  Speaker 7: we've spent an inordinate or sufficient at least amount of
• 1:26
  Speaker 7: time so far. on Pete Hegseth's call for technology and
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: automation to be part of the Pentagon's future. And we've
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: expressed our concerns, I think, thoroughly about the idea of
• 1:42
  Speaker 7: autonomous warfare being easy to wage, hard to win. But
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: we can get back into that, many other things going
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: on as we finish our tour in Baghdad and Iraq
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: is now in the hands of the Iraqi security forces.
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: It'll be interesting to see now what comes next, not
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: the mess that certainly we saw upon our abandonment of
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: our mission in Afghanistan, but, you know, We can make
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: a mess of things regardless, but I think we're doing
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: okay when it comes to getting out of Iran. So
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: we get our first things going here, and that's going
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: to dominate it. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth held his
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: second State of Combat Readiness event at the Pentagon. So
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: we'll get you some coverage of that as well as
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: coming up on 4, 3, 4, 8, 8, 2, 4, 2, 1, 7. Yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: Can you tell I was vamping?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: Just, uh, just, you could hear the taps.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Dancing, right?
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: So our first things that, uh, Workplace shooting that grabbed
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: national headlines yesterday culminated not a couple of miles from
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: this studio as the shooter in the incident got into
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: a car and started heading back towards North Carolina. It
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: seems he was on Interstate 81 when the Virginia State
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: Police stopped him. He got out of the vehicle after
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: being stopped and put a gun to his head and
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: ended his life as he ended two other people's lives.
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: Earlier in the day, there is hope that one of
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: the victims will recover. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth held
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: his second annual State of the... Where did it go?
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: It just all of a sudden disappeared in me. There
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: it is. State of the Force. He gave the address
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, 6... major initiatives
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: under his leadership, and the most notable is an artificial
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: intelligence segment called Wards, and that you wouldn't be able
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: to demand privacy beyond, but that's just the activists. And
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: Secretary of War Hegseth has put together what he's calling
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: Project Meridian, Hundreds of protesters have come out of the

  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 1: 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 2: Shh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 13: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 14: Shh.
• 9:32
  Speaker 11: That's the sugary scent of shopping success.
• 9:35
  Speaker 15: For this is Goodwill. And with every item you buy,

  Speaker 15: you fund local job training and more. So go forth.
• 9:45
  Speaker 15: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so much
• 9:49
  Speaker 15: good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 11: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 16: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 16: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 16: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 16: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 16: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 16: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:23
  Speaker 16: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 16: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 16: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 16: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 11: Eat better.
• 10:42
  Speaker 16: Get moving. Visit checkupamerica.org or call 1-800-DIABETES, a message from

  Speaker 2: My name is Jim.
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: I'm a veteran, and I lost both legs in Vietnam.
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: My victory was proving that a disability is not a limitation.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I'm Julius.
• 10:59
  Speaker 17: I'm a veteran. My victory was going from homeless to home.
• 11:03

• 11:54
  Speaker 4: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 11: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 19: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 20: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 21: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Cramp!
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 17: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay. Probably okay
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking and driving.
• 12:39
  Speaker 21: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
• 12:42
  Speaker 20: Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you
• 12:45
  Speaker 20: by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:47
  Speaker 18: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
• 12:50
  Speaker 18: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.

• 13:13
  Speaker 1: News and analysis, now without artificial colors. First Thing Today
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: So let me pick up on a couple of things,
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: other things going on around here. And obviously this story
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: of the state of the force speech is dominating what's
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: going on here. And I'm getting a lot of text
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: messages and emails about technology. Bob in Moscow has got
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: a piece about robots in Ukraine. And I think it's interesting.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: The first part, and call me crazy, Bob, but there's
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: this big high-tech conference going on in Lviv. I thought
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: you guys were at war. How are you having big
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: tech conferences? I don't recall big tech conferences going on
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: during the last couple of years of World War II. Germany, sure,
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: they had the Olympics, but that was before people started
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: pushing back on them. I'm just curious. I mean, how
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: are these folks having all these big tech conferences? What
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: kind of war are we fighting here? And I'll get
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: into the robotic army. He says, this is scary as
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: we're creating a robotic army to patrol the streets, all
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: sponsored by USA dollars provided to Ukraine. I think a
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: lot of this is not USA dollars, it's NATO dollars.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: Andy writes in, Tennessee rifle was a great example of
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: the advance of weaponry that made a difference in the
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: defense of freedom. I mean, just simply rifling the barrel
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: and the creation of that changed the world in terms
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: of battlement. We're going to make better technology. It is
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: the same thing with artificial intelligence and all these other things.
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: If we're bad, it's going to be bad. The kid
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: that started the whole take down the southern Confederate statues thing,
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: the shooter that shot up that Charleston, South Carolina church
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: full of black people, sat through the service and then
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: shot him up. I'm not going to give you his name.
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: I don't think he deserves the run. But his family
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: may have been worse than he was. His sister is
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: a real hot mess. And daddy would come home from
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: Lord knows where drunk all the time, complaining that quotas
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: were the reason he was a bum rather than the
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: fact that he was a bum because he was a bum.
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: So little Dylan grew up thinking the reason his dad
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: sucked was because black people existed. If we're bad, our
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: weapons are going to be bad. When they invented tempered
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: steel so that you could build bigger swords and still
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: have them be manageable, did somebody say, oh my gosh,
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: everyone's going to have a sword in their hands and
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: then we're just going to hack each other up on
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: the streets? I'm sure if the internet existed then, they would.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: Because that is a possible scenario. And I'm not deriding
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: anyone who's concerned about artificial intelligence. I just say that
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: this is why it's important. And what we've become in
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: our personal addiction to democracy, our addiction to government... is
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: we've created a government that doesn't do the simple stuff,
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: that doesn't focus on national defense, which is one of
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: their constitutional mandates, if I'm not mistaken. So here we go.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: And like I said, Bob's text message about the robot army.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: Let me read the story to you. Where did it go?
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: Did he delete it? He didn't delete that story, did he? Oh,
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: here it is. It's on Yahoo.com from Defense News. Ukraine's
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: former defense minister launches Manhattan Project for killer robots. Ukraine
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: needs a new Manhattan Project, former defense minister Mikhail Fedorov
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: told a standing-room-only crowd of self-proclaimed tech nerds Saturday at
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: IT Arena here, the country's biggest annual technology conference. But
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: didn't Russian drones attack there? Just saying. Not that I would,
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: you know, but I mean, if Russia is doing all
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: this damage with their drone force flying over Ukraine, did
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: they not know this was happening? Somebody had to, tech
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: nerds are not good with security. Fedorov laid out his
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: vision of an army of robots, a force of two-legged
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: upright and other ground robots that would take over many
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: of the front line's most dangerous but necessary jobs from soldiers.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: Our idea is to combine engineers, startups, and capital into
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: one ecosystem. Just to call that a business. Now it's
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: an ecosystem, I guess. Nerds, right? Exactly. Exactly. So we
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: can launch humanoid-like robots on the battlefield, Fedorov told Defense
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: News in an exclusive interview after his presentation. We want
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: to eventually substitute our infantry with these robots. He's claiming
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: that they can have a robot in the battlefield in
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: six months. And the Russians will fly a drone that
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: they bought from Iran overhead and bomb it. Yes, I
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: just got this one from the Pacific Northwest from up
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: by Salem. Listening to this up there. There's a Star
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: Trek episode that addresses the pitfalls of automated warfare. Yes,
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: it's called A Taste of Armageddon. If you're looking for
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: the title. She didn't include it in the text. I
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: know the episode. War is not supposed to be something
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: you can do cavalierly, and that's the danger in this,
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: is if we're bad people, we will engage in war cavalierly.
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: The world has bad people, and they will use these things.
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: But a couple of things in defense of the humans
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: in our armed forces. Number one, one of the things that.
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: Made a big difference in a lot of our combat
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: scenarios is the idea of next man up. Next man
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: up being the theory that if the commander of a unit,
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: whether it's a major, captain, gunnery sergeant, whoever the commander
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: in the field is, if they get killed, the unit
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: keeps fighting for its goal. They don't always go, oh gosh,
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: I don't know what to do next. Our soldiers are
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: cross-trained and able to carry out the mission even if
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: the commanding officer is lost. Does that happen with a
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: drone army? I don't think so. So there's human capital
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: involved here as well that you have to think about.
• 22:01
  Speaker 19: Let's see if something costs less, but people are happier
• 22:05
  Speaker 19: with it. That sounds like something to look into. And
• 22:07
  Speaker 19: that is MediShare. Maybe you've heard switching to MediShare to
• 22:10
  Speaker 19: pay for health care can save many families up to
• 22:13
  Speaker 19: 500 bucks a month. And that is huge. But it's
• 22:15
  Speaker 19: also true that people are way more satisfied after making
• 22:18
  Speaker 19: the switch to the member satisfaction rate for MediShare is
• 22:22
  Speaker 19: double that of the typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Double.
• 22:25
  Speaker 19: MediShare works too. It's been around for 30 years. Members
• 22:28
  Speaker 19: have shared more than $ 5 billion of each other's bills.
• 22:32
  Speaker 19: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
• 22:35
  Speaker 19: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 22:37
  Speaker 19: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care

• 24:08
  Speaker 22: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13

  Speaker 3: Radio.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: It's on.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make it.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: And believe me, when my mom talked sports. That was
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: usually Dad's purview, but when Mom weighed in, she brought
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: the 2x4 there. And Mac McDonald, our sports director, is
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: there with his notebook open. Good morning, sir. How are
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: you doing?
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Good morning, JoJo. Yeah, the belt was always just hanging
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: on the door, so you knew.
• 28:46
  Speaker 17: Uh, it was there.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: All of those time out, put in time out. Now
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: we were put outside, you know, go play, go do something, uh,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: under the street lamp or whatever. All right. There's just
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: something about, uh, it was just an interesting day yesterday
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: and I loved it. As I said, afternoon games are,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: are great. Uh, I had a chance to, uh, go
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: eat a sandwich and watch the, uh, Watch the end
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: of the Phillies and the Braves while 75-year-old people were
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: trying to sing karaoke in this place.
• 29:17
  Speaker 17: So anyway, it was fun.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: But there's just something about Bryce Harper that I was
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: just looking up his numbers and stats.
• 29:24
  Speaker 17: But he.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: He went back to back with Schwarber yesterday, you know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: got the tie after making the gaffe in the outfield.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: I'm going to play the sound here in just a minute.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: His slugging percentage in the playoffs for the Phillies is 7%.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Babe Ruth has a career playoff slugging of 744. Lou Gehrig.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: was 731. So if you throw in Harper's time with
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: the nationals, his slugging percentage in the playoffs, 629, the
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: sixth highest in baseball history. All right. So he makes
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: the mistake yesterday in the outfield seventh inning Braves Phillies
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Braves can wrap up the series.
• 30:12
  Speaker 16: Oh, my! Here comes Murphy to score!
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they thought it was kind of a routine line
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: drive that he was going to be able to handle.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: But what happens in the eighth? Well, as I said,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Bryce figures out to back up Schwarber, and they go back-to-back.
• 30:26
  Speaker 11: This is Bryce's opportunity to make up for that misplay
• 30:29
  Speaker 11: with one.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Run down, guys. Ball and a strike to Harper.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Bryce to right!
• 30:35
  Speaker 13: We are tied!
• 30:37
  Speaker 17: Sounded gone.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: Back-to-back!
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. And again, I'm just learning that still there
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: aren't three analysts in Major League Baseball with all the teams.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: There are three analysts who can time a base hit
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: or can time a home run.
• 30:53
  Speaker 17: They all want to talk.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: They don't want to let the game breathe in a
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: big moment with a pitcher.
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: Well, this was what made, you know, it was Marv
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: Albert and Walt Frazier. had it down when they were
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: calling New York Knicks games.
• 31:10
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: As soon as it hit. Now, maybe basketball is easier.
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: So Walt's time was from either the make of the
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: basket or the rebound to the mid-court stripe. And as
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: soon as they got to the mid-court stripe, the play,
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: no matter how fast that was, Walt shut up. And
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: it was Marv's time from the mid-court stripe to the hoop.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what we teach. And I was taught.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: And I tried to teach other people or help other
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: people with that. A guy who recently passed away, a
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: good friend of mine. Well, Jim Hobgood was fun. And
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: I love Jim.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: Hobo passed away?
• 31:48
  Speaker 17: No, no, not hop on. This is another guy. I jumped,
• 31:50
  Speaker 17: I jumped off the rails. I was going to get back.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: No hobo, but hobo sometimes would go just a terrific
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: play by, you know, Oh, and he gets the three
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: at the other end. I'd go, nice job. I'll take
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: a break. You know? And so, but anyway, Mark Freidinger,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Mark Freidinger was the guy.
• 32:09
  Speaker 17: He was a coach with Larry Brown.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: He played, he's in the Rollins hall of fame, but
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: a dinger, passed away last spring, I think, just last spring.
• 32:19
  Speaker 17: And Dinger was just great at it.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: He had a wonderful feel and knew.
• 32:24
  Speaker 17: And, yeah, we had a lot of fun. So, anyway,
• 32:27
  Speaker 17: with that.
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: But, you know, baseball, I mean, wouldn't it be as
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: soon as the pitcher starts to wind up, shut up? Yeah.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to even before, you know, even
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: before then let the play by play guy go, you know,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: here's the one, one, at least, you know, and even
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: if it's a strike, Oh, it's outside, you know, ball too.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: The trouble is these guys get paid a lot more
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: than the play-by-play guys, and so the networks tend to say,
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: let Keith Hernandez talk.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you can't believe how many highlights I pull
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: where they're talking, talking, you hear the crack of the bat,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: and he goes, and he should be playing first base
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: for the last three innings.
• 33:09
  Speaker 17: And then all of a sudden, oh, it's a deep drive.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Well, it happens like that. 20 minutes ago. Just to
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: let people in on a play-by-play thing, we teach our
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: kids there is a thing called drop action. And when
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: I'm working with the play-by-play guys, there's a thing called
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: we're going to drop action because you want to make
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: sure you get it right. And even if you're a
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: split second. behind, you know, let the game breathe and
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: have fun with it. So if he's crossing the goal line,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: for example, in a long run of football, if he's
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: crossing the goal line, you should be saying the.
• 33:39
  Speaker 17: Five yard line.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: In other words, 25, 20, 15, 10, about the time
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: you say five, he's crossing the goal line, five yard
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: line touchdown. And you have a chance to be dramatic.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Plus you can pick up the number. Well, and that's
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: just the goal to don't play by play thing.
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: Al Michaels was great at just letting the crowd roll.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Go for so much.
• 34:01
  Speaker 25: Never.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: You're right. But even, yeah, even a radio, I used
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: to like a big, a Virginia went over Duke. I'll
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: never forget, uh, at, uh, at university hall before we
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: got into JPJ. And, um, that's when Adam Hall jumped
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: on our, jumped on the, uh, the, uh, press row.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: And he, you know, stepped all over our gear and
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: all over our stats and everything.
• 34:21
  Speaker 17: And, and, uh, I just do like this. Put my
• 34:25
  Speaker 17: arms out. Just shut up.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: We're going to just let this go for a while.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: More people tell me, even on radio, because what happens?
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: People are in their car or their home.
• 34:36
  Speaker 17: They're watching.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: They're screaming. Yes! Why take that excitement away from them?
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know why we.
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: Got off on that. I think it's why we connect
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: with listeners is we allow those things to, to breathe,
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: to happen.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Anyway, the greatest story, the greatest story ever was Vin
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Scully and the Kirk Gibson home run. Oh, and one
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: of the things, in fact, Sunday, I'll, I'll, I'll bring
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: that now because the whole, the whole setup with Scully
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: is just classic.
• 35:09
  Speaker 17: I get goosebumps when I listen to it.
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but it takes like 15 minutes.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: He had the bad leg and he was at the
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: plate and Scully says, Oh, I'll never forget. He goes,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: he's moving his leg like a horse trying to shake
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: off a troublesome fly. I mean, it was like, oh, okay.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I even get goosebumps. Well, when Gibson hit the home run,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: you know, he called it, it's gone. And then he just,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: he literally took off his headset. True story. He takes
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: off his headset and stands and just goes and stands
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: in the back and And just watches. He just let
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: it go. There was no reason for him to talk
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: because the producer was, you know, going all over him.
• 35:51
  Speaker 17: Well, the crowd noise.
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: I mean, if you're supposed to be bringing the feel
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: of the game, well, if I was at the game,
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: not with a radio on, I'd be just jumping up
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: and down, screaming.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Too many kids, especially the young guys today, they just
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: want to... you know, they want to keep talking. They
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: want to keep talking. They want to try to be
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: in the moment. Bob, Bob Costas tells a story too.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: He says that a lot of people and Jim Nance
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: is one of them where they have a scripted ending.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: And instead of just letting it, you know, just letting
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: it breathe or whatever. Costas said when he was doing the, the,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: I think it was the 95 series with the Braves
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: when they finally won. And he said that the fly ball,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: the catch by Grissom in the outfield. And he goes, Atlanta, Atlanta,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Atlanta has its championship. And then he said, five seconds later,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: he goes, I should, oh, I missed it. I should
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: have said Atlanta at last. He goes, then that would
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: have been better. And you know, but he, and he goes,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: you couldn't do that after you go, Atlanta has its champion,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: you know? So anyway, all right. What I want to
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: touch on this too, because this was a record last
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: night and the Atlanta won the Mystic Series 93-75, and
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: the W, the Liberty, is next. Dallas and Golden State,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: they're tied. The Wings beat the Valkyries last night 108-100.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Former Notre Dame star Arike Ogunbowale played 42 minutes, had
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: 45 points and seven rebounds.
• 37:16
  Speaker 24: Yeah, like I told you at halftime, I felt like
• 37:18
  Speaker 24: the first game I wasn't aggressive enough.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: I was really passive, and.
• 37:21
  Speaker 19: I wanted to come out and be aggressive and find
• 37:23
  Speaker 19: my teammates and, you know, make myself the score, and.
• 37:25
  Speaker 15: That's what I did.
• 37:26
  Speaker 17: There you go.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: So not to be outdone, Sophie Cunningham drinking coffee then,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: made fun of Aja Wilson, said, boy, the point is
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: really working because the guy pointed at Aja when she
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: got mad, got the technical, went after the guy, he
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: got tossed. Oh, can't wait.
• 37:41
  Speaker 17: They play again tonight.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: What's going to happen?
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: Max's favorite sport right now is women's professional basketball.
• 37:48
  Speaker 25: Oh, man.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the fever. What's going to happen tonight? So anyway,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: happy Thursday. Oh, yeah.
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: Good stuff. We'll get ready for college football tomorrow. And
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: I will keep my place as the color commentator.

  Speaker 10: In 2024, the American Heart Association celebrates 100 years of
• 38:05
  Speaker 10: life-saving service as the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on
• 38:09
  Speaker 10: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: in the United States each year than all types of
• 38:15
  Speaker 10: cancer combined, but more than half of Americans are unaware
• 38:18
  Speaker 10: of this fact, according to a recent Harris Poll survey
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: conducted for the American Heart Association. However, the majority of
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: heart disease is preventable. New research has improved the prevention, diagnosis,
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors. Efforts
• 38:33
  Speaker 10: led by the American Heart Association have reduced deaths from
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: heart disease by half over the past century. and helped
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: people with heart disease live longer and more productive lives
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: while managing their condition and risk factors. To learn more

  Speaker 22: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 22: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 22: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 22: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 22: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 39:28
  Speaker 22: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 22: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 22: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 22: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 39:42
  Speaker 22: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric oxide

  Speaker 26: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 26: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 26: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 26: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 26: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 26: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 26: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 41:00
  Speaker 26: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

  Speaker 26: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
• 41:14
  Speaker 26: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 41:17
  Speaker 26: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for

  Speaker 18: Who got his first job, not for extra spending money,

  Speaker 18: but to help feed his little sisters?

  Speaker 12: It's on.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through.
• 44:20
  Speaker 7: Oh, oh.
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: They took the credit for your second symphony. Rewritten by
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: machine on new technology.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: And now I understand the problems you can see.
• 44:35
  Speaker 25: Oh, oh.
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: So the hits now coming. And this is the fun
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: because I don't mind reading some of these because it's
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: you and you have a point to make. We were
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: just talking about play-by-play and color commentators and sports broadcasts.
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: And Marsha, Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. I know, I know. It's
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: not like you haven't heard that one before. I apologize. Probably,
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: you probably hated the whole era around Crossfire Hurricane because
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: most of us kept saying, Russia, Russia, Russia. But listening
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: to us up in Four Corners out there, have you
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: ever been out to Seeley's Place? I've never been. It
• 45:45
  Speaker 7: looks beautiful, you know, in the Western Slope and all,
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: but it looks gorgeous at the Mesa Verde Hemp Farm,
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: but I don't know where the signal goes. It might
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: be an hour's drive away. But Marcia writes in and says, Physician,
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: heal thyself. I like the use of the phrase, by
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: the way, Marcia. I love you, Joe, and I love
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: everything you say, and I think you bring up great points,
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: and you make me think sometimes, but every now and
• 46:21
  Speaker 7: then you interrupt callers and you try to change course
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: on what they're saying. Where's let it breathe then, Joe?
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: A couple of quick points on that, Marcia. And again,
• 46:37
  Speaker 7: this isn't the Connecticut School of Broadcasting. for our friends
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: at WGCH up there in 1490. Are they still up
• 46:44
  Speaker 7: in Stratford? And how many times does Stratford, Connecticut get
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: mentioned on the radio? Anyway, I don't want to turn
• 46:54
  Speaker 7: this into the Connecticut School of Broadcasting, but this program
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: is different than a sports broadcast in the fact that
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: the adherents to a sports broadcast have settled in maybe
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: they're working and they can't go to the game or
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: they're working and they can't have the TV on or
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: they're driving somewhere and they want to have the game on.
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: And so you're there and the game is going to
• 47:18
  Speaker 7: go on and you're going to be tuned in. Morning
• 47:22
  Speaker 7: radio is a little different than that. I sound like
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: Jim Rome. Jim Rome devolves into this so frequently on
• 47:30
  Speaker 7: his sports dog show. But just quickly, the reason sometimes
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: I will interrupt intercede on a conversation we're having with
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: a caller is mostly to make sure that voices are
• 47:48
  Speaker 7: heard within a monologue. And believe me, I hate it
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: when I'm monologuing. If I get onto a subject and
• 47:57
  Speaker 7: I realize, oh my gosh, that's why we keep that
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: segment from the Incredibles movie. My daughter was the one
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: who pointed it out to me. She goes, Dad, it's you.
• 48:11
  Speaker 7: You're monologuing. You're a supervillain.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: Now I'm a supervillain. But there have to be some,
• 48:23
  Speaker 7: if there's a discussion going on, you're coming in and
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: going out of a radio show. You're busy. You're coming in.
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: You're fixing breakfast for people. You're trying to get either
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: your day wrapped up or started. And if you hear
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: three sentences consecutively, that's really good for morning radio.
• 48:45
  Speaker 15: It is.
• 48:46
  Speaker 7: If you hear three sentences consecutively, it's really good. And
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: if you hear more than that, it's a blessing. But
• 48:54
  Speaker 7: if there's a point of view that doesn't mesh with
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: the program's point of view, I need to make sure
• 49:01
  Speaker 7: the program's point of view, aka mine, gets in there
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: so that somebody doesn't say, Hey, Joe, I heard Joe,
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: you know, whatever it is, bashing the soldiers at the front.
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: I'll allow somebody to have a criticism of our soldiers,
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: our president. whatever it may be, but the listener who's
• 49:28
  Speaker 7: coming and going needs to know what the host stands for.
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: I will at every moment allow for contrary views and
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: I will change my views, but if somebody says Donald
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: Trump is a warmonger or Donald Trump lied because he
• 49:46
  Speaker 7: said no new wars, I will push back on that statement.
• 49:51
  Speaker 7: Especially if it's one that I hear coming out of
• 49:54
  Speaker 7: every talking head with a desk and a TV camera,
• 49:58
  Speaker 7: either on YouTube, Instagram, I guess X is in the
• 50:05
  Speaker 7: business of video broadcast now, or any of our remaining
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: TV and cable networks. Because I don't want it to
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: just be a, hey, I got on the radio and
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: I said this. Because people will hear and then they
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: will say, oh, just controversial. Joe doesn't like Donald Trump
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: when that's not true at all. I get Donald Trump
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: probably better than anyone. Having grown up just a mile
• 50:35
  Speaker 7: or two from where he grew up, I get the
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: world he grew up in. All right, my dad didn't
• 50:41
  Speaker 7: own a bunch of apartment buildings, but I understood trying
• 50:45
  Speaker 7: to live up to a dad. But anyway, so Marsha,
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: I appreciate it, and I get it. I know I
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: do that. I know I do it, and I do
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: it intentionally because sometimes, you know, the idea of multiple
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: facets of a conversation need to be out there in
• 51:02
  Speaker 7: the in the bite-sized pieces that are allowable to a
• 51:06
  Speaker 7: morning radio listener. Anyway, a couple of the other things
• 51:12
  Speaker 7: going on this morning that comes out of this gift
• 51:18
  Speaker 7: that keeps on giving is this force, state-of-the-force address that
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: Pete Hegseth gave yesterday. And this one email comes in
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: from Larry listening to us in Virginia. He said, what
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: do you make of the fact that he's getting rid
• 51:40
  Speaker 7: of all these generals and admirals? Isn't there a concern
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: that we're losing institutional memory? And that hits home, Larry,
• 51:51
  Speaker 7: because having grown up in New York City, I remember
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: that after the 10 or so years that the city
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: was bankrupt and we had hiring freezes and we weren't
• 52:04
  Speaker 7: bringing in new police officers, new firefighters. When we started
• 52:08
  Speaker 7: to come back out of that, the Giuliani administration got
• 52:12
  Speaker 7: hammered by this a few times, is we would make
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: mistakes in the field because the field commanders had only
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: been in police force for four or five years. because
• 52:24
  Speaker 7: we had lost so much institutional memory. But I think
• 52:28
  Speaker 7: what Pete Hankseth was talking about is that these were
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: commanding officers more attuned to the idea or under the
• 52:35
  Speaker 7: orders of your mission is to create diversity within or
• 52:41
  Speaker 7: to move this agenda forward. These weren't forward line commanders
• 52:47
  Speaker 7: with units in the field ready to face hostile fire.
• 52:51
  Speaker 10: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 10: compression of spinal nerves, according to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 10: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience. This
• 53:01
  Speaker 10: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
• 53:05
  Speaker 10: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 10: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 10: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
• 53:16
  Speaker 10: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
• 53:20
  Speaker 10: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 10: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 10: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 10: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 10: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 10: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
• 53:38
  Speaker 11: And Dr.
• 53:39
