  Speaker 5: Why not?
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: Especially when it comes to healthcare, and that is meta share.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: You get both.
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: Many families save five hundred bucks a month with Medta
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: Share and that's huge. But it's also true that people
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: wind up way more satisfied too, and we know this
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: from research of members. There's a lot they like about

• 8:07
  Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 12: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  Speaker 12: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 12: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 12: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe

  Speaker 12: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 12: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's

• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Question The first thing today on the Talk Media Network
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: by Joe Thomas.
• 13:23
  Speaker 10: Not to put down to upstanding.
• 13:35
  Speaker 16: You've got to get signed for the kosel John.
• 13:46
  Speaker 15: Let's go.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: It doesn't matter whether it's Flight ninety three or the
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Fataclan or Twin Falls, Idaho. You fight terror by not
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: giving into it, by understanding that. With all due apologies
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: to those who use the phrase altho, those who have
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: the phrase applied to them will be the first to
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: tell you, I'm right. You are the first responder. Frequently,
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: law enforcement, at best is the second responder. The people
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: who are on site are the ones who can do
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: the most When somebody decides that their last good marble
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: has fallen out of their hands and it's time for
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: them to do something insane, mostly because they don't realize
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: it's insane. It seems to them to be the only
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: answer to whatever problem they have, whether it's with In
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: and Out Burger or generally the people in Twin Falls, Idaho.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: It doesn't make a different. Something makes this nameless goon
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: pick up a gun and start shooting into a restaurant.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: And I've seen it go the gamut political terrorism to
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: he felt like he didn't get his order right at
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: the drive through, and I know you're gonna sit there
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: and say, It'll shake your head and say, Joe, don't
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: trivialize this. That the stories run the gamut. With the
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: number of miles I have on my broadcasting odometer, I've
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: seen it all, including where somebody gets triggered because he
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: didn't like the attitude of the drive through clerk or
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: felt like he didn't get good customer service, all the
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: way up to I feel like Bernie Sanders should have
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: been the Democratic nominee in twenty sixteen. To Trump is
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: killing us all in the Middle East. Sure, there are
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: places where it's big more frequently than not. Sadly, the
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: mundane are the reasons that these events start to happen.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: And we told you the story in the news. We
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: gave you the official account. And I'm worried for this fella,
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: because the character assassination is going to begin soon, if
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: it hasn't already started. In order to assail the character
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: slash passed of Jordan Salinas. Jordan Selenas is the name
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: of the civilian who took his legally owned firearm. But
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: you know that the leftists are looking into that and
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: fired at the scene, surprising the assailant, who then ran
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: off duty police officer as well. But moreover than the
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: concern I have for what we're going to hear for
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: the next week about Jordan Salinas as, the gun grabbing
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: goons in the media and their newsroom minions will pick
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: up the torch of do you know what this guy
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: why this guy we used to be in the oathkeepers,
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: or this guy went to Charlottesville, not in twenty seventeen,
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: but he was in Charlottesville once, near where the twenty
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: seventeen rin stuck place. So it's all gonna be spin, spin, spin,
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: because they cannot have you hearing the story of a
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: civilian out for nothing more than a Sunday afternoon with
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: his girlfriend Saturday afternoon. Saturday afternoon with his girlfriend, probably
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: having a conversation about, Hey, you want to stay in
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Twin Falls. I don't know. I like this town, but honey,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: if you want to move, I don't know. I'm just
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: saying what Saturday afternoon conversations can be like sometimes and
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: sees people running out. This is Selena is telling the
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: story himself to the Idaho Statesman. Seeing people running out
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: of the restaurant, says, something weird is going on here,
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: gets his firearm and runs toward it. This is red
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: flag number one for the red flag crowd? Was his training?
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Does he have any training? I can hear them now,
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: And I'm only telling you so that you're inoculated. I'm
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: sorry too soon for playing word games with it. No,
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: just so you have an awareness that is coming that
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: you can brace yourself when your cousin calls you and says, ah, yeah,
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: I suppose you. Second Amendment freaks are all up on
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: arms that you're going to have a parade for this guy,
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: aren't you? Aren't you? Well, I heard, and then they'll
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: rattle off whatever the Internet is telling them. And I
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: feel for this guy because his heroism should not be
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: rewarded thusly, because that's how the goons and the authoritarians
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: shadow band people. This is that implicit vote suppression. Don't
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: help somebody in an emergency, because we're going to screw
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: you over for the next month. You're going to be
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: the dinner special at the Progressive News Network. We're going
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: to go through every inch of your life. I mean,
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: it's one thing when a politician steps up and says
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: I want to be a US Senator. Okay, you've accepted
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: the idea that we're going to comb through everything that
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: you've ever done in your life, every person you've ever
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: talked to, every website you've ever gone to. If we're
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: doing our opposition research correctly, and if anyone's ever thinking
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: of running for office, you better do opposition research on
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: yourself first. It's expensive, so I mean I would suggest
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: you do it on yourself anyway, because it'd be I
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: don't know if anyone wants to know what haters of
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: yours would like. That's one thing they've stepped onto the stage.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: What's going to happen to this Salinas guy is offensive
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: to me, all of the offense that I take for
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: the people who are just having a Saturday afternoon at
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: one of the most famous burger chains in the West.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: He doesn't deserve this. But I'm bracing you for the
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: fact that this is how they stop this stuff from happening.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: This is how they leave you open to that fire
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: so you can be the tragic parable that says we
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: need to ban all these weapons of war. But we
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: need more people like Jordan Salinas who will run towards
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: the danger because at the end of the day, we
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: are the first responders.

• 24:31
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here. In First Thing Today by Joe Thomas, I.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: Want to thank Kerrie who sent this one in and
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I guess she's listening at w j
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: O L in Joliet, she says, quick Trip sells e
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: eighty eight all across the Midwest. And I went and
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: I looked up quick Trip in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois. That's
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: how I guess that's where you're from, the Dakotas. So
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: you have then also sheets in the Pennsylvania mid Atlantic
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: areas there except New Jersey. New Jersey has a thing
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: about that, but anyways, they're a bunch of different places.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Thank you for some of the emails on that. And
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: I don't know if every retailer is the same as Sheets.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: I just know that it's easily fifty to sixty cents
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: less a gallon. And I'm not gonna sit here and say,
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: just isn't this great, because I'm sure this is all
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: the ethanol subsidies that pay for websites like get biofuel
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: dot com. Call what eight hundred biofuel? That's one eight hundred.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: You know those per inquiry to here radio ads that
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: you know the radio station only gets paid if you
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: call the number. And I'm sure it's more than just
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: call the number zone, but got to pay the bills
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: how you can. I'm just saying it's cheaper, and I
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: understand that you and I are paying subsidies into the ethanol. Okay,
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: so I've paid my subsidies into it. Allow me to
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: travel from New York to Charlottesville for as little money
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: as I can because I don't have a lot of it,
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: and I know that that there are going to be
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: the economist saying, no, you're not helping Joe. You need
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: to pay five dollars a gallon for gas because then
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: we can work on stopping the ethanol subsidies if we can.
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: Because ethanol likes so many of the alternative gasolines are
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: not as cheap as you think because of the amount
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: of energy you have to put into turning corn into
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: ethanol that you don't have to do to turn a
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: barrel of Brent crude into gasoline or gazzoling is mad
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Max call it. I appreciate the tips on where to
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: find eighty eight. E eighty eight is it's fifteen percent ethanol.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Is what it is, and that's why you can without
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: having to have a flex fuel vehicle and all that stuff.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: This is just anything after two thousand and two I
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: think is compatible with it.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: You can run it on it.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: My son the mechanic has said, you get a little
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: higher horsepower, you get a little lower fuel efficiency. And
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: I haven't penciled it out, but I have to think
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: that forty to fifty cents less a gallon, and if
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: I get a gallon less miles per gallon, one fewer
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: mile per gallon, I still think I come out ahead
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: on the deal. But traveling this this is one of
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: those weeks. Holy Moley. If you run a business and
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: you need to get in touch with people, get ready
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: for a week of Hey, we're away this week, give
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: us a or leave your message. I'll get you soon.
• 32:16
  Speaker 16: Bee.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: This is one of those weeks that everyone seems to
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: have jumped into something. Good luck finding a hotel. You
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: could be trying to stay in Indianapolis and it's not
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: the you know the five hundred was. You know that's
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: I just picked Indianapolis as a as a city that
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: really you're going to Indianapolis or something. I have to Oh, okay,
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: I get it, but be that as me regardless of
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: the city Twin Falls, Idaho, Largo, Texas. You know, it
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: doesn't make a difference. Wherever you're going, you're gonna find
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: hotel rooms at a premium. And if you're going to
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: try to go to someplace like Virginia Beach or Daytona. Yeah,
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: I hope you booked a while ago. I know Oprah
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: used to say, just go and walk up to the
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: desk and ask for a room. You'll get great prices.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: It was when Oprah said that, that's when the price
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: line and the booking dot COM's O went really, oh,
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: we could do that, and they created almost an industry
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: around it. Because a few dollars for a room is
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: better than no dollars for a room. That's the business
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: model of these folks there. So onwards inwards. A couple
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: of emails on the Good Samaritan in Idaho, Mark writes,
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: in Joe, what if there really is something wrong with
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: this guy? What if this guy has got some serious problems?
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: What if he is someone who and he goes on
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: into a whole laundry list of possibilities?
• 34:00
  Speaker 19: Sure?
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Sure, So your accusation, Mark, is that I'm out preceding
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: the field in defense of this guy without knowing anything
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: about it. Let's uh, I've got two words for you, Zimmerman,
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: just saying just say I know somewhere Senator Rick Scott
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: and former Attorney General Pam Bondi just went George Zimmerman,
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: two words for you, but I appreciate it. I'm not
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: saying that that isn't a consideration, but I think it's
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: more likely that the more vehemently the left tries to
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: assail this guy. I'd love to find out that this
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: fella in Idaho voted for Kamala Harris. That would, believe me.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: That would give me no less joy than to find
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: out that this guy is, you know, the local Democratic
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: Party chair. So I imagine an Idaho Democrat is a
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: whole lot different than a Virginia Democrat these days. I
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: remember the days when a Virginia Democrat was a little
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: different than a Soviet Communist. But that's also a day
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: in my history, this one. On the price of oil
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: and gasoline, Kerry writes in didn't you one time, Joe
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: do an an equation that could tell us what a
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: barrel of oil should cost at the pump. There are
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: a couple of equations. I don't have it up in
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: front of me. Yes, a couple of months ago, when
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: we were just getting numbered all the price of a
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: barrel and I understand a price of a barrel of
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: oil under the Biden administration was just one hundred and
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: twenty one hundred and thirty dollars a barrel, because that's
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: what they wanted it to be. That way, you'd buy
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: that Tesla or that you E mock, E Mustang or
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: whatever electric vehicle preus, et cetera. So the fact that
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: it's only eighty three little under eighty four dollars a
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: barrel and there's still issues with getting ships to the
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: Strait of Hooord moves. I think we're doing okay, keeping
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: in mind that American jobs will be lost if the
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: price of a barrel of oil goes below, say, fifty
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: five dollars a barrel, because then we can't afford to
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: keep people working on our pipelines Saudi Arabia. They're not
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: paying the guys on the pipeline twenty forty sixty dollars
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: an hour to do pipe fitting, just saying I'll go
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: find the equation for you carry. But there is one
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: where you can figure out if the price of a
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: barrel of oil oil is eighty three eighty seven, then
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: what should a gallon of gasoline? Understanding though, you have
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: to understand the commodities world. So if you pulled into
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: a gas station and it's for what did I see
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: at the sheets where I got the eighty eight octas,
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: I think it was almost a full dollar more. I
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: mean it was four dollars, just under four dollars gallon.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: That's what the gas retailer expects to have to pay
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: for the next gallon of gasoline, not the one that
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: he may have paid three point fifty for the gallon
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: that you were pumping into your car. But the next
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: batch is going to come at four point fifteen a gallon,
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: and he needs to pay for that. That's how the
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: gas pricing all works. But I'll go run it through
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: the equation for you, Carrie. Thank you for for being
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: an ardent listener and keeping notes at home, which frightening
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: a little bit.

  Speaker 14: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
• 38:04
  Speaker 14: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
• 38:08
  Speaker 14: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
• 38:11
  Speaker 14: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
• 38:15
  Speaker 14: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
• 38:18
  Speaker 14: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
• 38:22
  Speaker 14: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
• 38:26
  Speaker 14: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:28
  Speaker 14: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  Speaker 14: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 14: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 14: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:44
  Speaker 14: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:48
  Speaker 14: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
• 38:52
  Speaker 14: yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves

  Speaker 21: First thing today, that's it, say the quiet part out loud,
• 44:33
  Speaker 21: and then everyone have everyone email and text and saying
• 44:36
  Speaker 21: what do you That's not what everyone else. I was
• 44:39
  Speaker 21: listening last hour, and the guy before you said, I
• 44:44
  Speaker 21: can only do what I can do, you know, So
• 44:49
  Speaker 21: I found the calculator.
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: Actually there's a bunch of different ones. But one of
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: the things you have to remember about the price of
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: gasoline is at least a third of what you pay
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: at the pump are taxes. I noticed and quietly Josh
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: Shapiro in Pennsylvania has allowed the gas tax prices to return.
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: He had run them down for a while while it
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: was getting him some pr and I guess he decided
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: that pr war out, so let the gas prices go
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: back up dollar forty. Depending on what kind of state
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: you're in, could be as high as a dollar forty
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: a gallon is just taxes federal and state, so you've
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: got to figure that in and as if you go
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: to Calculator Academy, they actually throw that in there. So
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: if let's just say you're in a low cost state
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: where it's only like a dollar fifteen on average in
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: taxes at eighty eight dollars ninety seven cents, estimated gas
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: price should be about three twenty seven. That's ones that
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: goes through. I mean, because you've got to refine all
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: that stuff and get it out of the system. So
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: don't walk into your gas station this morning and saying, hey,
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: I listened to the guy on the radio and Joe
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: Thomas said, gas would be three twenty seven. That's all
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: I'm paying for it. Wouldn't that be fun if you
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: could haggle. Hey, listen, I'm gonna fill up. I've got
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: a thirty gallon gas tank here. What's it worth to you.
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: I don't want to pay four dollars a gallon? But
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: if I give you three p fifty and I'm buying
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: thirty gallons and that it's like like a farmer's market.
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: How about I buy all the tomatoes, but instead of
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: twenty nine cents each, you give me all of them
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: for nineteen cents each and I'll take them all off
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: your hands. I mean, that was the business model Sam
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: Walton used to put Walmart on the map. I'll buy
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: all your tractors, and then I'll decide what the price is,
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: and you'll, of course give me a discount because now
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: you save all the money in trying to sell the attractors.
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: One of the worst things that ever happened to the
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: quote middleman, because those middlemen all lost their gigs, or
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: a lot of them did, because you know, the tractor
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: and t shirt and underpants manufacturers didn't have to have
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: guys running around the country saying, hey, you know Marcus's
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: department store, you carry our underpants. Marcus's Department store was
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: now out of business because Walmart opened up down the
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: street and sold the same underpants for a whole lot
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: less because they bought them all. And then the underpants
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: manufacturer could lay off all their middlemen and still sell
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: all their underpants because they just sell them to Walmart.
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: So a couple of other stories that I think deserve
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: some air. I member the beginnings of my radio career,
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: and part of them because there were notable events that
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: took place in the first year or two of my
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: radio broadcasting career. Number one burned into my memory was
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: the Tawana Brawley case because it invented al Sharpton and
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: we're still suffering the after effects. This would be like
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: calling it long al Sharpton And similarly, the same period
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: of time, a virus that you could only get if
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: you were bitten by a tick off of a deer,
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: mostly in north northeastern Connecticut, in the area around perhaps
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: you've heard of the town's name Lime. There is a
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: I don't think tick tourism exists anymore, but for a
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: while people around the Northeast were going just to see
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: what Lime, Connecticut looked like. It was crazy, poor poor
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: residents of Lime Canedy. We're like, why are all these
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: people coming here? I don't know what. So the Borelia
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: bunga bunga whatever, the virus that the bacteria that those
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: particular ticks has spread into the mid Atlantic. I have
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: a dear friend. She's a news anchor, has been for years,
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: has successfully, through herculean therapies involving hormones and a lot
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: of treatment, has successfully beaten lime disease infection that she
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: she contracted in the Norfolk area. But and if you're
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: listening to us on w T A R, Hey, Crystal,
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: I love you and I'm glad you're doing and you
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: and Tom aren't awesome and I'm I'm sorry I missed
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: you with the VAB anyway. But it's a herculean effort,
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: is the point I'm making to beat lime disease still
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: to this day. And what's amazing to me, So that
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: was coming up on forty years ago. Has it really
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: been forty years since I started doing this? And just now,
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: just now, we have a test it's called lime Alert
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: says that it's an at home test. You can find
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: out if the tick you found on your well. I
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: don't want to discuss what area of your body you
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: found the tick, but you've pulled it off, and you
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: know they told you at the time, put it on
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: some cotton rap, you know, put it in a zip
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: lock bag and bring it to the local health department office.
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: And two or three weeks later, with only about a
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: week or so to go to do anything about it,
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: you would find out was it lime disease or not.
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: This test, lime Alert says you can find out within
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: fifteen minutes. They compare it to a pregnancy or COVID
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: nineteen test. There's a grinder for the tech and then
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: I guess some liquid that turns of particular color of
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: Burrellia who was a burgdorfary for Bergdorf Borellia Burghdorfi. The
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: bacteria is present in the tics. Who's there? Forty years?
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: Forty years the only thing missing from this test, And
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: I'm glad they finally have something like this for folks,
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: especially I live in a fairly rural part of central Virginia.
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, I pulled ticks off me and my wife
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: and our cat all the time. You're always thinking about it.
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: Every time you wake up with aky shoulders and your
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: knees hurt or anything like that. You're thinking, did I
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: what was that tick I got off of me? But
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: you can task now at home with this lime alert.
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: The only thing missing is a picture of Tony take
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: the shot or Tony take the fifth leave the Canoli's
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: Faunci on the cover saying it's safe and effective, And
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: we we get that one on there because that would
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: be a selling point. But forty years and we finally
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: have an at home test for something that's amazing to me.
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: This is what happens when the government steps in and says, no, no, no,
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: we'll handle this.
• 52:51
