(02:38):
is somewhere else today. Oh really, really, mister Dolls, did you
just walk in? I could pickup on these things. Okay, I'm
very very perceptive. And don't youforget it, young lady. Wow,
all right, I have something totell you all about that goes on out
in our fair burg and people arestarting to worry about them, so I
figured i'd better tell you about them, because they go on on our fear
(03:00):
bird. Okay, they're causing alot of trouble. These are known as
heat islands. Heat islands, Yes, these are parts of town where,
for whatever reason, when it's reallyreally hot out there everywhere, it's really
(03:24):
really even hotter there in these partsof our town hot, and they're worried
about how this affects the more vulnerablesegments of the population. These neighborhoods include
(03:46):
the Bishop Arts District, the MedicalDistrict, and West Dallas. In these
areas, the temperature is quite oftenten degrees hotter than in other parts of
the city. Buildings and roads absorband release more of the sun's heat than
(04:09):
natural landscapes, and in those areas, I guess you don't really have many
natural landscapes. Other areas identified asheat islands love Field, Uptown, Oak
Lawn, Downtown, everywhere, Deep, Elm, the design District. Bars
(04:33):
are hot, huh? And marketcenter Yes, Bars and restaurants be hot.
Yes. Basically everywhere there's there area prolifera proliferation of those things.
You have a heat island, Andwhat they're going to focus on, they
say, is that when the exceedsheat, or when the heat exceeds what
(04:57):
is normal heat, then the saythat affects the health of those who lived
there. So now what they gotto do is make decisions about what they're
going to do about this, whatthe city is going to do about it,
how the city is going to combatthis. In twenty twenty three,
(05:18):
I don't think I have to tellyou all what last summer was like.
Last summer was warm, pretty brutal. I would say it was quite hot,
yes, it was like one tenand stuff. It was hot,
yes, And the words of agreat man it was balls hot. Yeah
it was. And you had morethan twenty people die in Dallas and Terran
(05:43):
Counties from heat related illnesses. Nowyou may say, well, it gets
hot up you know every summer here. Yeah, it does, it does,
it does, but not like lastsummer. I've been around here for
every summer of my life. Yeah, you're mister Dallas, because I am
mister Dallas, and don't you forgetit. And I know what summer around
(06:05):
here is like. And last summerwas not like any summer, even more
hot than hot. Yes, somewould say the nine routes in the study
included some points of interest. Ifwe may drill down a little bit,
all these areas you had City Hall. City Hall sits on sort of a
(06:32):
not really a hill, but anupgrade in downtown, closer to the sun
than closer to the Saint Philip's School, Fish Trap Lake, The Joppy neighborhood
Joppy joppy, choppy joppy joppy joppa, but they say it joppy.
(06:55):
Okay, I believe that's a partof sunny South Dallas, the Dallas Zoo,
the Macomas Bluff Landfill, and others. Now Dallas has joined other cities
like Salt Lake City, Oklahoma City, and Sedona, Arizona in the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations twenty twenty three. Urban Island Mapping Campaign and city officials
(07:27):
think that by getting in on thisaction and participating in the studies that these
people are going to conduct, they'removing in a good direction as far as
how they can fight this and howthey can help people in these areas.
But still, how does one stopit from being hotter? I don't know.
(07:47):
That's the water cooler stations, that'sthe grand question that nobody can answer
it. It could lead to somethinglike a couple of those orange Gatorade things
on each corner. Yeah, areyou going to celebrate by going to a
water park? I don't know,water park, But maybe that's right.
Maybe we'll just build a water parkin all of those areas I have thought.
I don't think it's possible, butI think it would be really cool
(08:09):
to be able to go from whereveryou live to work via water slide.
But it's I just don't know howwe make it happen. Underground tunnels,
we don't even have to go outside, like a lazy river underground. Yeah,
that'd be awesome. That would begood. Great. A lot of
pee though, probbed up with needlesand stuff too. People aren't supposed to
(08:30):
pee in the they do cool orthe lazy river they do anyway, they
do it. And do you allknow because I've been in it and it's
warm, and warm means pee everytime. Yep. It's usually a good
indicator. Yep. I just knowthese things because you guys do it.
I do. That's how you know. I'm always so proud at my house
(08:52):
where I have an exquisite pool.Of course, I always am so proud
of anyone who gets out of thepool to go to the bathroom. And
Mike, that's so kind of you. I don't wow. Good for you.
Everyone should get out to go tothe bathroom. That's gross. You're
just floating around in your own peace. There's chemicals and a lot of gallons.
(09:15):
It dissipates. What they're thinking Dallasmight do is join other cities such
as Miami and Los Angeles and createa cheap heat officer. Oh, can
we apply I'm Joe to focus soand preparedness for hot heat related emergencies?
(09:39):
Okay? Because they say these arenew kinds of problems and They're going to
require new thought processes and require thatthey look at things that they have not
looked at before. It's a newparadigm here. Yeah, little holes in
the sidewalk that shoot out water.I could work. I've got some ideas.
(10:01):
This would be a big waste ofwater. Elect me chief heat officer,
and I will lead this town inthe direction of cool water. What
do you think that job pays?It's not known right now. They say
that that the chief Heat Officer positionis going to depend on the willingness of
council members and the city manager tobudget. It's a budget for him or
(10:28):
her. Or there's the case ofme being, say like a scientist.
I probably don't have the background.Arizona has a chief now. You just
have to know about the heat andcooling. I mean born and raised Texas
person. Yeah, I know aboutthe heat. I can handle it.
I can't find the salary. Idon't know how much the chief Heat officer
(10:48):
makes. They probably don't have itposted yet, but probably haven't even created
it yet. Well, the onethat got hired in Phoenix is a medical
doctor that took the job. Butthat's just one. Doesn't mean you have
to be but it is Eugene LeVar, MD. Oh, and that is
big heat out in Phoenix too.Yeah, it is. Now it's a
(11:09):
dry heat and it's not as dryheat worse or wet heat. Which one's
the worst? Wet we have wethere, got wet heat. Yeah,
it's not the heat, it's thehumidity. It's the humidity, yes,
right, which is the wet andout there they don't have so much humidity.
So even though it's really really hot, you're able to withstand things a
(11:31):
little bit better. It's not quitethe incredible oppressive nuisance that it can be.
And most of the time is here. You know, it would be
a good thing if you're the chiefheat officer to have what like a belt
that has a whole bunch of loopson it that you carry freeze pops in
(11:54):
and so if someone's struggling, youjust pull it out like you're drawing a
firearm, but it's a freeze pop. Good idea, a perfect, great
idea. Your heat officer could makelots of friends that way. Yeah.
Kids are just gonna go run andtackle the heat officer. Yeah, well,
yeah, you have to be carefullike an ice cream truck. They're
emergency freeze pops. They're not recreationalfreeze pops for when I see somebody that
(12:16):
needs it for medical use only.Correct. Also, Greenwood, if they're
going to arm the heat officer position, they gotta do it with water pistols.
Correct. Yeah, two super soakersand a belt full of freeze pops.
So I show up to work.What a badass with a star on
my chest, says Chief Heat Officer. That's not a terrible idea. In
(12:45):
the back of my shirt says bringingthe cool since twenty four. Nice.
Yeah, Well, if you'd liketo find out more about heat mapping,
go to www dot green Dallas dotcom. I gotta go, gotta go,
gotta go. See guys later.I'm not done trying to figure out
my wardrobe when I become chief HeatOfficer. Let's talk through this. I
think it's gonna be wonderful. Wearlittle floaties on your arm, one inflatable
(13:09):
on each arm, yeah, alittle zinc on your nose, A whistle
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,just dressed as a lifeguard, but with
freeze pops at my hip and thewhistle would be necessary. May you see
somebody in violation? Yeah, ofwater conservation principles. Yeah, somebody's running
(13:31):
on the sidewalk and you're like,excuse me, sir, it's one hundred
and twelve. Running is going toreally up your heat here, you kind
of slow them down, get themwith a beat beep. Yeah. I
do hope that they're out on thestreets. Like, I don't feel like
the chief heat officer should be sittingup in some fancy office in a building,
just like looking at the weather.No. No, he needs to
be out there. He needs tobe out on the streets. I'm gonna
be on a bicycle out there,or a horse, right, maybe a
(13:56):
horse, a horse, yeah,a horse, yes, a horse,
just out patrolling. And he needsto show his face in the place of
all these areas that they're worried about, because those aren't areas that you know,
most Dallas bureaucrats readily go to.Yeah, I forgot what the areas
are, but I do want tohelp people stay cool. I'll get a
(14:18):
riding lawnmower, and that's how I'llget there. I'd be good, pretty
bad ass right here it goes.I feel like there's more efficient vehicles that
you could use, but I thinkyou're waisting gas. Yeah, you're not
going gonna put out a lot ofheat too. I just want to help
people keep it moving. Just drivea zamboni down the road with my chief
(14:41):
heat officer ball cap on. Ithink that's a position made for you'd be
good. I fear the big heatthough. I fear it. I'm scared
for the summer, mam too.I'm already dreading it. But think of
it random cold weather, Yeah,good sign that big heat is maybe not
(15:05):
as close as we may think.Water. I don't know, this is
probably it. Rather like the nextweek we're gonna get a bunch of rain
and stuff, and then I betwe're straight into the oppressive heat. Bad.
I bet we've been tiptoeing around ithere for a while. We're holding
it off. The heat officers doingsomething well. I've been working yeah,
(15:26):
yeah, yeah, yeah, I'vebeen working. Yeah, you're doing good.
I've been trying to keep the heatat Bay as best I can.
You're doing good work here. Yeah. How do you manage to do that
and inspect all of the bridges andoverpasses. We don't have kids. I
got a lot of time. There'sno t ball, true, there's no
recitals. Yeah, I just inspecta few bridges, keep the heat at
(15:48):
bay, and have a job.Well, one could argue you're doing much
more for society than I am.He's a man on the grind. M
hm, how's that working out?I don't know. I haven't actually have
it, so don't What's grinder?Oh gosh, that's a new one.
(16:11):
I've had that one for a while. I like it. What's grinder?
It's like so creepy the way hesays it. Who is that you?
Yeah? Yeah, what's grinder?I think that was early on. We
hadn't quite had our microphones dialed inyet. That doesn't sound like me something
baby, what's grinder? I promisethat sounds so creepy. Oh. I
(16:42):
would like to wish good luck tothe North Texas man that is suing cinemak.
Oh, he went to the movies. That's way you go to Albo
draft house. But he went toa cinemak theater and he bought a twenty
four ounce beer and a twenty ouncebeer. And he looked at the twenty
four ounce and the twenty ounce andhe was like, I don't think this
(17:03):
bigger one can hold four more ounces, And so he took it home it
only holds twenty two scannedalous actual.He's suing, Oh my gosh, he's
suing Cinemak, saying, you sayit's a twenty four, it can only
hold twenty two. There's no waythere's twenty four in there, because I'm
telling you can only hold twenty two, like you filled it up to the
tippy top. Yeah, he's like, it can't even fit twenty doesn't need
(17:26):
to be a monitoror just lie abouteverything that's right. That's fraud, that's
shrinkflation. Yeah. And they sayyeah, because in theory, the twenty
four ounce is better value, youknow, because based on their pricing,
it's thirty seven cents per ounce insteadof thirty nine cents per ounce. But
since it's actually only a twenty twoounce is available in a twenty four ounce
(17:48):
drink, that price is forty centsper ounce, which means you're actually paying
more for the bigger beer. That'ssome bullsh I'll keep you guys up today
and with this person as I trackthis lawsuit into the depth. Time,
let's go to Alamo Draft House Cinema. Yep, we're trying to trick you.
(18:11):
You'll get your ounces right. Bye, god bye, God, all
right, I gotta go. Allright, see you you left five minutes
coming out. Next, it's timefor fun drive on a Friday, Julie's

hadn't quite had our microphones dialed inyet. That doesn't sound like me something
baby, what's grinder? I promisethat sounds so creepy. Oh. I
(16:42):
would like to wish good luck tothe North Texas man that is suing cinemak.
Oh, he went to the movies. That's way you go to Albo
draft house. But he went toa cinemak theater and he bought a twenty
four ounce beer and a twenty ouncebeer. And he looked at the twenty
four ounce and the twenty ounce andhe was like, I don't think this
(17:03):
bigger one can hold four more ounces, And so he took it home it
only holds twenty two scannedalous actual.He's suing, Oh my gosh, he's
suing Cinemak, saying, you sayit's a twenty four, it can only
hold twenty two. There's no waythere's twenty four in there, because I'm
telling you can only hold twenty two, like you filled it up to the
tippy top. Yeah, he's like, it can't even fit twenty doesn't need
(17:26):
to be a monitoror just lie abouteverything that's right. That's fraud, that's
shrinkflation. Yeah. And they sayyeah, because in theory, the twenty
four ounce is better value, youknow, because based on their pricing,
it's thirty seven cents per ounce insteadof thirty nine cents per ounce. But
since it's actually only a twenty twoounce is available in a twenty four ounce
(17:48):
drink, that price is forty centsper ounce, which means you're actually paying
more for the bigger beer. That'ssome bullsh I'll keep you guys up today
and with this person as I trackthis lawsuit into the depth. Time,
let's go to Alamo Draft House Cinema. Yep, we're trying to trick you.
