Speaker 1 (00:00):
What happened to the game.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I love.
Speaker 3 (00:01):
Meanwhile, the Lakers are only a one point underdog. Give
me a break with that line.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
People, The Lakers are like the Yankees, right, you Laker
fans like the Yankees or the Dodgers, you know, like
these are bandwagon losers. If you're a Laker fan out
there and you got a good reason for it, I'd
love to hear it. But if not, you're a loser.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yikes.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Sorry, I hate to get candid here, but it's just like,
nothing annoys me more than people, especially Midwestern people, liking
the Celtics or the Lakers over the actual teams that
you know, potentially could exist otherwise there's no imagination to
that whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, okay, eh, if.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
You're seventy years old and you got to see one
NBA game a week and they always would only show
you the Lakers or the Celtics, Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Fine, yeah, that's how it happens.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
But if you were like thirty years old, if you're
our age and you grow up in the cable television
era with SportsCenter and you couldn't find somebody else that's here,
for give me a break. I hope the Timberwolves beat
them by fifty tonight. I hope they beat him by fifty.
Does Julius Randall suit.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Up for him?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah? Maybe, I don't know. I don't think it matters.
I want Anthony Edwards to dunk on Browny so hard
that it sends him back to middle school. Like I
want Lebron to cry on the floor because it's that devastating,
like he can't he can't even believe this just happened.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
To come on now, I want them to flop in tandem,
like synchronized swimming. I want to see father son synchronized
flopping on the court, Edwards.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
On the drive over both James, Oh, they go through
the floor.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
What happened? A synchronized flop with the father son duo
and they.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Both get called for personal fouls. That'd be that icing
on the cake. But we know the NBA would call
that on Edwards and you know the chiefs of the
mahomes of the NBA, Lebron James, Yeah, I said it anyway. Anyway,
the NBA stars tonight, I'm excited about it. Nix and
Celtics tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You're a Nicks gay, Oh boy, Nick scity, I am excited.
I am I'm super excited. Ah boy, here we go.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Now this helps you up, and then the Timberwolves play
the Lakers in the nightcap tonight in Minnesota. Come on,
I'd love nothing more than for Brownie James to somehow
just get Anthony Edwards to just spikes like he goes
up for a lamp and Rudy Gobert volleyball spikes is
shot to the sixth throw. Welcome to the NBA, kid,
(02:26):
all right, anyway, Girl Scouts, you're not a girl. I'm
not a girl. I'm not gonna pretend like I know
a whole lot about the Girl Scouts. If I told you,
if I told you that you had to pay annual
dues to be in the Girl Scouts, would that surprise you? No,
I think, isn't that how that works? It's how it works,
of course, it's how it works. How much do you
think that they're paying? Oh man, how much do you
(02:47):
think they're paying on a year to your basis to
this is just your annual duce.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
To be a part of the club.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Couple foul zend dollars, No couple hundred, No, twenty five
dollars in a big.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Mac, twenty five dollars with no, Big Mac. Really twenty
five twenty five bucks. Oh that's not too bad. No,
it's been twenty five bucks for the last eight years. Well,
now they make their real money with the cookies. Well
and the cookies, and I mean, I think you have
to pay for the uniform and the badges, and there's
different uniforms and badges that you can buy, and then
(03:19):
you're you know, I'm sure that kids have to pay
for their field trips and they have to pay for
the camping, and I don't know what they do. I
was a Boy Scout for a couple of years. Were
you and the Boy Scouts ever?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, So, like I think it's a little more expensive
upfront to be a Boy Scout. But there's a I
mean there's a lot of structure to the Boy Scouts
of America. I mean we had very specific meeting times,
beating places, we had different get togethers, different activities, camping.
I was only in it for a couple of years,
(03:51):
but I mean there's a lot going on there. I
don't know how much extra a lot of that stuff costs.
I haven't been on that side of it. Well, they're
changing the price. Girls out to the USA gonna raise
the price to forty five dollars per kid starting in
twenty twenty six, and then it'll jump up to sixty
five dollars in twenty twenty seven. So it's gonna almost
(04:11):
triple essentially now during a National Council meeting, they made
this determination because they're losing about five point six million
dollars this year. As a whole. They say they make
about thirty eight million dollars on the dues right now. Now,
if you're going from twenty five to forty five, it's
almost doubling it. Let's just say it's about thirty if
(04:35):
everybody stays in it. That's already in girl Scouts, like
the numbers say the same. Now you're adding like thirty
million more dollars to your to the people. Right If
they say that they're making about thirty eight million dollars
a year on just the dues, and we increase it
to forty five dollars, that's going to jump that thing
up to about sixty eight million dollars. And then you're
gonna jump it up another twenty bucks per per year,
(04:58):
and assuming everybody still stays in it. I mean, now
we're knocking on one hundred million dollars a year just
on the dues themselves. But again, sixty five dollars doesn't
sound like that much for an activity your kid's really into.
So my biggest question would be, like, how much extra
is all this other stuff? Do you have to pay
for the uniform? How do the cookies work? How much
(05:19):
money do the kids?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
If you sell an inordinate amount of cookies. Let's say
you're selling thin mints and tag alongs to everybody. You see,
Like you sell one hundred of those boxes in a week,
that's got to be a pretty large amount you make,
your deliveries and all that stuff you rake in the money.
I know how much those things cost. That's got to
count for something. But where's that money go? I just
read this story that came out. Was this today? Today?
(05:45):
It came out a Cincinnati woman's accused of sealing eleven
thousand dollars from the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio. According
to court papers, she was the troop cookie manager, and
after all the sales were final, the proceeds were not
in the true bank account. She had stolen eleven grand
and out of the bank account that was used for
the cookies.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Oh oh, who does this. You rob the Girl Scouts
and you thought nobody would notice. So they I mean
eleven thousand dollars or whatever?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? Who?
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Me?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yes, you couldn't be Maybe it was Donna. Who's gonna
go to jail?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
What was her name?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Her name is Dayosca Hudson, Yeah, day Oscar. Yeah. Well
here's my question. If you I gotta be talking to
people who are familiar with the Girl Scouts.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I have to be.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
There's got to be somebody listening to me right now
that knows more about the Girl Scouts than we too.
How much does it cost? Is this going to deplete them?
Is this going to take away opportunities this price hike?
Is this going to take away opportunities for kids to
want to be a part of this thing. I'm sure
their numbers haven't been what they were in years past,
but I don't know that for a fact. I'd love
(06:57):
to hear from you if you at all have any
experience with Girl Scouts, if you've been a troop leader,
if you've had a daughter or a niece, or a
nephew or a neighbor or a grandkid that has been
a part of the Girl Scouts of America or the
Girl Scouts of the USA. Please call us now at
four oh two five five eight eleven ten. Four h
two five five eight eleven ten. I'd love to learn more.
Please help me out right here on news Radio eleven
(07:18):
ten kfab O, Mas, Rob and Tracy on the line.
Hey guys, thanks for being on the show. Can you
help me out here?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Hello?
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Ever, Hey, we're still like it's a good value. I
think what it is like thirty five dollars a year,
So I mean there is no complaints as far as
value that they asked our child gifts.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
So if they raise it a.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Little bit, as long as it stays mostly local, I
don't see a problem with it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I would from your perspective.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You know, can you tell me other stuff that you
have to pay for throughout the year, Like, is there
other stuff that you're on the hook for?
Speaker 6 (07:54):
So there is each great save me twice every two
weeks and it's a five dollars do each time they meet? Okay,
and then we also there this is our second year,
so we are now having to sell like a fall product.
So fall products, they set a goal for the kids
to sell chocolates and candles and things like that, and
(08:18):
that's something that we didn't know going into it. So
that's another above and beyond the cookie sales.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And the right Okay, yeah, so do do you get that?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Who gets that money?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Like? Does everybody share that money? Or if she's selling
like more than everybody else, does she like get to
bank that for herself?
Speaker 7 (08:39):
Get for it?
Speaker 8 (08:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (08:40):
What do you get for it? You get No, we
really don't. The troop does get a percentage. The troop
probably gets a I could be wrong. I want to
say ten percent, okay, and then the girls get great prizes.
I really am happy with the prizes. They get some
cool merchandise for.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Their Okay, so they do get rewarded for doing better
sales than other people.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Correct, Yeah, okay, all right. Do you want to say
hi to Britlin our little girl scout. She's eight years old? Hey, Blyn,
she sells the cookie, so you say.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Hi, Hi, Hey, now you've been on the radio. Now congratulations.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
That's what she wanted.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
To do, and she is a star cookie seller. We
have a venue and a kind of a bar venue.
So it was a little bit so cheating maybe ah,
no came in one day and said, hey, guys, I
have cookie us Girl Scout cookies for sales. Follow me. Yeah,
you know, like five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Hey, that's that. That is capitalism one oh one. That
is just taking advantage of the situation one hundred percent. Hey, guys,
appreciate you for calling in and thanks for being a
part of our show. Thanks for listening to us.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
All right, thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah bye, maybe one of the best calls we've ever had.
Let's be honest, Nick's on our phone line of four
h two five, five, eight eleven ten. Hey, Nick, can
you help me out with this a little bit here?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, all right, what you got?
Speaker 8 (10:01):
So you were asking how much cookies are Nebraska? I
believe this last year we're selling them for five dollars
a box. I believe it was. Okay, and at five
dollars a box, the girls, each Girl Scout Troop retained
I believe it was like sixty to seventy cents per
box sold.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Okay, so yeah, that would be just about like a
little over ten percent.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Yeah, yeah, a little over ten percent. I think prior
color was pretty accurate.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, So okay, So with that is there, like how
much do you pay for a uniform, How much you
pay for like field trips and stuff like. Are you
on the hook for that or does the fundraising just
kind of take care of all of that.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Well, I think different troops did differently. My wife's the
troop leader for my daughter. Usually the families cover the
uniforms things like that, and then it kind of varies
on the activities camping, different things as far as whether
the girl covers it or whether the troop covers the cost.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
How many how many activities like a year like that,
like field trips or camping trips, How many of those
things are happening on a year to year basis?
Speaker 8 (11:05):
It really it all depends on the truth. As the
other prior caller said, Like our my daughter, they meet
every two weeks and they usually take the summer off
and then they usually try to do a couple handful
of camping activities or field trips or special activities throughout
the year. So it's I don't know, a half dozen.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Okay, you feel like you're getting good value? Is it
going to deter you guys? If you know they raise
the price in a few years to sixty five dollars
a year for the annual dues.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
Overall, I think the program is really good. I think
it teaches the girls a lot of really great life skills.
We would probably stop more because our daughter is getting
to the middle school age, so we probably stopped more
because of aging out, and sure than than the cost.
But I think it's a good value for the most part.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
What they do interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I love this. Thanks so much for calling us Nick.
That's good information, Brobam.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
All right, let's get a Lannie on the.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Phone line four two, five, five, eight eleven ten, Laney,
what you got on your mind about this?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Are you still there?
Speaker 8 (12:01):
Yep?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Oh, well I stopped sadly, I stopped buying Girl Scouts
cookies probably eighteen to twenty years ago. There was a
big story on it how the organization donated donates a
lot to Planned Parenthood, which was a big discouragement. And
if that's still today's situation, I don't like the idea.
(12:25):
That makes me a question about what they're going to
be teaching our little girls.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Right, so moral.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, So the I looked this up because I have
a morning show that I brought this up on as well,
and I had multiple people bring this exact point up specifically,
and according to their website, they say no, the Girl
Scouts of the USA does not have a relationship or
a partnership with Planned Parenthood. They have a social issues
(12:54):
FAQ on their website and they say that they do not. However,
I was able to uncover that people who were at
the top of the organization at various points have donated
to political causes or have donated to, you know, places
like Planned Parenthood independently in the past. And I understand
where you're coming from on that Lanny, that the numbers
(13:16):
themselves and maybe the finances that they come in, because
I mean, for the most part, Boy Scouts of America
have also kind of gone through some hardships with finances
over the last you know, decade or so, so it's
not independent of just the Girl Scouts. But I just
me not knowing about the Girl Scouts, and then me
talking to some people who like the last couple of
(13:37):
colors talking about, you know, how the experiences that their
daughters get. I feel like I'm still going to buy
the cookies. And again, I'm not trying to tell people
how they need to want to handle this however, but
for me, I don't want to penalize the eight year old,
ten year old, twelve year old girl that's trying to
get this experience with her friends, trying to learn about,
(13:59):
you know, the outdoor, trying to learn about different things
in their life. And I want, you know, first of all,
I like thin Mint's guilty is charged, but but I
don't think too And you have.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
A great point, and that's exactly, and I feel the
same way if it's like something independently, if if it
comes to you know, the facts that they are not
promoting that or a part of that, and yeah, that's
a whole different story, you know. I mean, like Starbucks.
I stopped going to Starbucks many years ago because they're
a huge, you know, supporter for playninged parenthood and all that.
(14:33):
There's some there's some bad juju on that is all that. Yeah,
I agree, if it's if it's something independent, yeah, by
all means I mean love a good girl scout cookie
absolutely yeah, and basically the benefits of what it helps
the kids exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
And that's kind of like I think about it as
micro as I possibly can, and I don't want to
penalize the kids in my neighborhood who are just trying to,
you know, have good experiences as kids because of something
that you know, some adult is doing. Some decisions adults
are making far far away. But they do have a
social issues FAQ page on their website which I looked
(15:09):
up today, and the first one, the first question they said,
is what is the Girl Scouts of the USA's position
regarding human sexuality, birth control, and abortion? And they say,
we do not take any positions or develop materials on
any of these issues. We feel our role is to
help girls develop self confidence and good decision making skills
that will help them make wise choices in all areas
of their lives. Parents or guardians make their decisions regarding
(15:31):
program participation that may be of a sensitive nature. So
basically they say parents have the control over what exactly
is taking place or what they would be learning anyway.
And then the next question is specifically, does Girl Scouts
of the United States have a relationship with Planned Parenthood?
That's question number two on this web page, and they
say no, Girl Scouts of the USA does not have
(15:51):
a relationship or partnership with Planned Parenthood. So that to me, lady,
like I'm hearing you, but at the same time, I'm
like you can believe them. I'm sure they're going to
say what they're going to say, but from their mouth
they say they don't support.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It, so I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Well, I appreciate that. That's really good information.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, no problem, man, Laney. I appreciate you listening and
calling in today. Please call us again sometime.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Thank you, No problem.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, And I'll mention a couple more of these things
that I think there may be some misconceptions about, at
least in recent including they talk about faith on this
social issues thing for the Girl Scouts.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I'll mention that.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And if anybody wants to get their thoughts on their
Girl Scouts or what they've learned through Girl Scouts, or
if they have a daughter that's going through Girl Scouts
right now, please call us at four two, five, five,
eight eleven ten News Radio eleven ten Kfab and Marie Sunger.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I was standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Such a fine site to see finish it.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
And then I went down the street and I bought
a sandwich extra tomato, yummy to me keep it ey,
get a diet mountain dew.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I don't know what you did.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You think you did you think if you would have
seen the actual lyrics there, that the Eagles would have
sued you suit us.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Is that did? I? Is it to keep it easy?
Water it easy, keep it easy?
Speaker 8 (17:14):
Eat?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
What the heck are you keep it easy? Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Gosh, terrible. I'm sad. I even I don't know you.
I don't know you. We're talking about the Girl Scouts.
They're increasing their prices here and I'm learning more about them,
and you know, so I had a caller call in
Laney basically said, hey, you know, it's a turn off
for people. They have been involved politically and have supported
(17:41):
Planned parenthood. And I went to their website specifically and
they said, we do not do that because they had
to say that because people, I think in general have
said that. So I'm just going to read you some
other things that were on here on this what they
call the Social Issues f a Q. On the Girl
Scouts dot org website, they say, does the Girl Scouts
of the USA just did they distribute a Planned parenthood
(18:04):
brochure at a United Nations event, which I think is
what a lot of people are referencing here, And they say, no,
we did not. In twenty ten, Girl Scouts of the
USA took part in the fifty fourth Commission on the
Status of Women at the United Nations. Our participation in
that conference was the subject of numerous Internet stories and
(18:25):
blogs that were factually inaccurate and troubling. Girl Scouts had
no knowledge of the brochure in question and played no
role in distributing it. Okay, Now again, we live in
an era where people will believe what they want, especially
if it's coming from the Internet, and you're it's an
uphill battle. I mean, you talk about some of the
(18:45):
people who have you know, been subject to ridicule, and
I mean you want to talk about like how much
worse certain situations got because things got out of control
on the on social media. I mean it happened with
regular larity, you know what I mean. Yeah, you can't
trust everything you see online. Yeah, but it becomes a
runaway train and then you know, like you can't even
(19:07):
get a candle on the story. There's no putting the
toothpaste back in the tube, right, but people will still
choose to believe whatever.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
There's a lot of toothpaste all over the place these days.
I don't want to know that. I'm just saying it's
just you know, a lot of toothpastes out of the
tube these days.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Josh Giddy a basketball player. Remember what happened to him
last year? Yeah, and they accused him of having relations
with a fifteen year old girl. But everybody just like
there was no evidence and no cooperation about that. He
would have been nineteen when it happened, and he met
the girl in an eighteen plus club. Now again, I
(19:45):
don't know like exactly you can do with the rules there,
but everybody just assumed full guilt even though there was
no cooperation, no suspension, and the investigation ended with really
no charges being filed whatsoever. But Josh Giddy for the
rest of his life now has to wear this and
people saying that he is a pededo and all this stuff.
I mean, is that fair?
Speaker 8 (20:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
But the fairs in August good one.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
The Girl Scouts also on their website here say what
is the Girl Scout's position on serving transgender youth, which
I'm sure many people are interested in these days. And
they say, and this is a quote, Girl Scouts is
proud to be the premier leadership organization for girls in
the country. Placement of transgender youth is handled on a
case by case basis, with the welfare and best interests
(20:31):
of the child and the members of the troupe or
group in question a top priority. That said, if the
child's recognized by the family and school or community as
a girl, lives culturally as a girl, the Girl Scouts
is an organization that can serve her in a setting
that is both emotionally and physically safe. Okay, well, that
leans to it to the next question they put on
(20:52):
their website, which would be the question that I think
all of us would ask in that regard, how does
Girl Scouts position on serving transgender youth apply to situation
involving camping or volunteers? Right, this would be like the
big question, right, Like you know, the locker room thing, right,
the boys and girls' bathrooms, things like that. All camping
would be like the one thing that this would certainly,
(21:14):
you know, flare up if you felt like, hey, you know,
this fourteen year old Girl Scout actually is not a
girl biologically That could lend.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Itself to be quite hairy.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Right, And again I'm not talking about excluding anybody or anything.
I'm going right off of their website girl Scouts dot org.
They have a social issues FAQ and this is what
they say. The question is how does Girl Scouts position
on serving transgender youth apply to situations involving camping or volunteers?
And I quote these situations are rare and are considered
(21:47):
individually with the best interests of all families in mind.
Should any girl requiring special accommodations wish to camp, Girl
Scouts recommends that the local council makes similar accommodation that
schools across the country follow in regarding to changing sleeping
arrangements and other travel related activities. With respect to volunteers,
Girl Scouts welcomes both male and female adult volunteers and
(22:10):
has developed appropriate safeguards regarding roles and responsibilities to ensure
that girls receive the proper supervision and support. Interesting, now,
on the other end of that token, the next question
that they have on this FAQ, and this is again
we're trying to uncover. This is to you know, the
Girl Scouts are they're hemorrhaging money. They're trying to figure
out ways they're going to charge more annual fees, trying
(22:33):
to you know, make sure that they can say afloat
over the next several years. Well, does Girls Scouting support
families of faith is the next question. And here's what
they said, and I quote, Yes, Girl Scouting supports girls
from all backgrounds and beliefs. While we are a secular
organization that refrains from teaching religious or spiritual beliefs or practices,
(22:54):
we believe that the motivating force in Girl Scouting is
a spiritual one, and we greatly value our long standing
partnerships with religious organizations across many faiths that share the
values of the Girl Scout Promise in law. We encourage
girls to develop connections to their own spiritual and religious
beliefs by earning recognitions provided by their faith communities and
(23:16):
by earning my Promise my Faith pen, which helps girl
deepen the connection between the Girl Scout Law and her faith.
We support the right of faith leaders to verify that
program delivered to girls in their places of worship is
consistent with their faith's teachings.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
End quote.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
So I look at this, and there's a lot more
on this social issues FAQ for the Girl Scouts here,
But one thing that I have learned today is I've
done more research trying to understand what the Girl Scouts
stand for and why maybe their numbers aren't as high
and maybe why that they're, you know, needing to try
to make more money. Besides, maybe they have too many
paid employees at the top of the bureaucracy, you know,
things of that nature. But I have learned that this
(23:54):
is absolutely an organization where, for the most part, you're
going to be able to get that transparency from if
you had questions about whether or not it made sense
for your daughter, or your niece, or your granddaughter or
your neighbor kid, and you were just like the girl
Scout's actually a good organization. It sounds like, for if
(24:15):
for nothing else, they are incredibly transparent with the way
that they view things, and most of the major decisions
that are made are made by the troops themselves and
the troop leaders themselves. And as long as you don't
have somebody stealing the money from the cookies, like the
lady in Cincinnati that was arrested yesterday, then sounds like
it offers a lot of good ways for girls to
(24:36):
get various experiences with their friends and have the opportunity
to experience things that maybe they otherwise would not have
an opportunity to do so. And that's one of the
things that I think the more you know, Right, the
more you know and the better you know. We position
ourselves as a society to learn about this stuff. And
knowing what I know now, I wish I would have
(24:57):
say in the Boy Scouts longer than I did, because
I found out, you know, as I got my twenties
turned into my thirties, Man, I really actually love being
out in nature, and I wish I had more skills
that I learned as a young person of ways that
I can utilize that while I'm out there now. I'm
learning them in my early thirties, and you know, I
feel like that would have been a good experience if
(25:17):
I would have experimented a little bit more with them
when I was at that age. Worth thinking about three
forty nine, we'll come back. We got more forty to
stick around. News Radio eleven ten kfab Emery's telling that
What happened to the game.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I love.
Speaker 3 (00:01):
Meanwhile, the Lakers are only a one point underdog. Give
me a break with that line.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
People, The Lakers are like the Yankees, right, you Laker
fans like the Yankees or the Dodgers, you know, like
these are bandwagon losers. If you're a Laker fan out
there and you got a good reason for it, I'd
love to hear it. But if not, you're a loser.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yikes.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Sorry, I hate to get candid here, but it's just like,
nothing annoys me more than people, especially Midwestern people, liking
the Celtics or the Lakers over the actual teams that
you know, potentially could exist otherwise there's no imagination to
that whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, okay, eh, if.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
You're seventy years old and you got to see one
NBA game a week and they always would only show
you the Lakers or the Celtics, Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Fine, yeah, that's how it happens.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
But if you were like thirty years old, if you're
our age and you grow up in the cable television
era with SportsCenter and you couldn't find somebody else that's here,
for give me a break. I hope the Timberwolves beat
them by fifty tonight. I hope they beat him by fifty.
Does Julius Randall suit.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Up for him?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah? Maybe, I don't know. I don't think it matters.
I want Anthony Edwards to dunk on Browny so hard
that it sends him back to middle school. Like I
want Lebron to cry on the floor because it's that devastating,
like he can't he can't even believe this just happened.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
To come on now, I want them to flop in tandem,
like synchronized swimming. I want to see father son synchronized
flopping on the court, Edwards.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
On the drive over both James, Oh, they go through
the floor.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
What happened? A synchronized flop with the father son duo
and they.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Both get called for personal fouls. That'd be that icing
on the cake. But we know the NBA would call
that on Edwards and you know the chiefs of the
mahomes of the NBA, Lebron James, Yeah, I said it anyway. Anyway,
the NBA stars tonight, I'm excited about it. Nix and
Celtics tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You're a Nicks gay, Oh boy, Nick scity, I am excited.
I am I'm super excited. Ah boy, here we go.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Now this helps you up, and then the Timberwolves play
the Lakers in the nightcap tonight in Minnesota. Come on,
I'd love nothing more than for Brownie James to somehow
just get Anthony Edwards to just spikes like he goes
up for a lamp and Rudy Gobert volleyball spikes is
shot to the sixth throw. Welcome to the NBA, kid,
(02:26):
all right, anyway, Girl Scouts, you're not a girl. I'm
not a girl. I'm not gonna pretend like I know
a whole lot about the Girl Scouts. If I told you,
if I told you that you had to pay annual
dues to be in the Girl Scouts, would that surprise you? No,
I think, isn't that how that works? It's how it works,
of course, it's how it works. How much do you
think that they're paying? Oh man, how much do you
(02:47):
think they're paying on a year to your basis to
this is just your annual duce.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
To be a part of the club.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Couple foul zend dollars, No couple hundred, No, twenty five
dollars in a big.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Mac, twenty five dollars with no, Big Mac. Really twenty
five twenty five bucks. Oh that's not too bad. No,
it's been twenty five bucks for the last eight years. Well,
now they make their real money with the cookies. Well
and the cookies, and I mean, I think you have
to pay for the uniform and the badges, and there's
different uniforms and badges that you can buy, and then
(03:19):
you're you know, I'm sure that kids have to pay
for their field trips and they have to pay for
the camping, and I don't know what they do. I
was a Boy Scout for a couple of years. Were
you and the Boy Scouts ever?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, So, like I think it's a little more expensive
upfront to be a Boy Scout. But there's a I
mean there's a lot of structure to the Boy Scouts
of America. I mean we had very specific meeting times,
beating places, we had different get togethers, different activities, camping.
I was only in it for a couple of years,
(03:51):
but I mean there's a lot going on there. I
don't know how much extra a lot of that stuff costs.
I haven't been on that side of it. Well, they're
changing the price. Girls out to the USA gonna raise
the price to forty five dollars per kid starting in
twenty twenty six, and then it'll jump up to sixty
five dollars in twenty twenty seven. So it's gonna almost
(04:11):
triple essentially now during a National Council meeting, they made
this determination because they're losing about five point six million
dollars this year. As a whole. They say they make
about thirty eight million dollars on the dues right now. Now,
if you're going from twenty five to forty five, it's
almost doubling it. Let's just say it's about thirty if
(04:35):
everybody stays in it. That's already in girl Scouts, like
the numbers say the same. Now you're adding like thirty
million more dollars to your to the people. Right If
they say that they're making about thirty eight million dollars
a year on just the dues, and we increase it
to forty five dollars, that's going to jump that thing
up to about sixty eight million dollars. And then you're
gonna jump it up another twenty bucks per per year,
(04:58):
and assuming everybody still stays in it. I mean, now
we're knocking on one hundred million dollars a year just
on the dues themselves. But again, sixty five dollars doesn't
sound like that much for an activity your kid's really into.
So my biggest question would be, like, how much extra
is all this other stuff? Do you have to pay
for the uniform? How do the cookies work? How much
(05:19):
money do the kids?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
If you sell an inordinate amount of cookies. Let's say
you're selling thin mints and tag alongs to everybody. You see,
Like you sell one hundred of those boxes in a week,
that's got to be a pretty large amount you make,
your deliveries and all that stuff you rake in the money.
I know how much those things cost. That's got to
count for something. But where's that money go? I just
read this story that came out. Was this today? Today?
(05:45):
It came out a Cincinnati woman's accused of sealing eleven
thousand dollars from the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio. According
to court papers, she was the troop cookie manager, and
after all the sales were final, the proceeds were not
in the true bank account. She had stolen eleven grand
and out of the bank account that was used for
the cookies.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Oh oh, who does this. You rob the Girl Scouts
and you thought nobody would notice. So they I mean
eleven thousand dollars or whatever?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? Who?
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Me?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yes, you couldn't be Maybe it was Donna. Who's gonna
go to jail?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
What was her name?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Her name is Dayosca Hudson, Yeah, day Oscar. Yeah. Well
here's my question. If you I gotta be talking to
people who are familiar with the Girl Scouts.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I have to be.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
There's got to be somebody listening to me right now
that knows more about the Girl Scouts than we too.
How much does it cost? Is this going to deplete them?
Is this going to take away opportunities this price hike?
Is this going to take away opportunities for kids to
want to be a part of this thing. I'm sure
their numbers haven't been what they were in years past,
but I don't know that for a fact. I'd love
(06:57):
to hear from you if you at all have any
experience with Girl Scouts, if you've been a troop leader,
if you've had a daughter or a niece, or a
nephew or a neighbor or a grandkid that has been
a part of the Girl Scouts of America or the
Girl Scouts of the USA. Please call us now at
four oh two five five eight eleven ten. Four h
two five five eight eleven ten. I'd love to learn more.
Please help me out right here on news Radio eleven
(07:18):
ten kfab O, Mas, Rob and Tracy on the line.
Hey guys, thanks for being on the show. Can you
help me out here?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Hello?
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Ever, Hey, we're still like it's a good value. I
think what it is like thirty five dollars a year,
So I mean there is no complaints as far as
value that they asked our child gifts.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
So if they raise it a.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Little bit, as long as it stays mostly local, I
don't see a problem with it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I would from your perspective.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You know, can you tell me other stuff that you
have to pay for throughout the year, Like, is there
other stuff that you're on the hook for?
Speaker 6 (07:54):
So there is each great save me twice every two
weeks and it's a five dollars do each time they meet? Okay,
and then we also there this is our second year,
so we are now having to sell like a fall product.
So fall products, they set a goal for the kids
to sell chocolates and candles and things like that, and
(08:18):
that's something that we didn't know going into it. So
that's another above and beyond the cookie sales.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And the right Okay, yeah, so do do you get that?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Who gets that money?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Like? Does everybody share that money? Or if she's selling
like more than everybody else, does she like get to
bank that for herself?
Speaker 7 (08:39):
Get for it?
Speaker 8 (08:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (08:40):
What do you get for it? You get No, we
really don't. The troop does get a percentage. The troop
probably gets a I could be wrong. I want to
say ten percent, okay, and then the girls get great prizes.
I really am happy with the prizes. They get some
cool merchandise for.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Their Okay, so they do get rewarded for doing better
sales than other people.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Correct, Yeah, okay, all right. Do you want to say
hi to Britlin our little girl scout. She's eight years old? Hey, Blyn,
she sells the cookie, so you say.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Hi, Hi, Hey, now you've been on the radio. Now congratulations.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
That's what she wanted.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
To do, and she is a star cookie seller. We
have a venue and a kind of a bar venue.
So it was a little bit so cheating maybe ah,
no came in one day and said, hey, guys, I
have cookie us Girl Scout cookies for sales. Follow me. Yeah,
you know, like five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Hey, that's that. That is capitalism one oh one. That
is just taking advantage of the situation one hundred percent. Hey, guys,
appreciate you for calling in and thanks for being a
part of our show. Thanks for listening to us.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
All right, thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah bye, maybe one of the best calls we've ever had.
Let's be honest, Nick's on our phone line of four
h two five, five, eight eleven ten. Hey, Nick, can
you help me out with this a little bit here?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, all right, what you got?
Speaker 8 (10:01):
So you were asking how much cookies are Nebraska? I
believe this last year we're selling them for five dollars
a box. I believe it was. Okay, and at five
dollars a box, the girls, each Girl Scout Troop retained
I believe it was like sixty to seventy cents per
box sold.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Okay, so yeah, that would be just about like a
little over ten percent.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Yeah, yeah, a little over ten percent. I think prior
color was pretty accurate.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, So okay, So with that is there, like how
much do you pay for a uniform, How much you
pay for like field trips and stuff like. Are you
on the hook for that or does the fundraising just
kind of take care of all of that.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Well, I think different troops did differently. My wife's the
troop leader for my daughter. Usually the families cover the
uniforms things like that, and then it kind of varies
on the activities camping, different things as far as whether
the girl covers it or whether the troop covers the cost.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
How many how many activities like a year like that,
like field trips or camping trips, How many of those
things are happening on a year to year basis?
Speaker 8 (11:05):
It really it all depends on the truth. As the
other prior caller said, Like our my daughter, they meet
every two weeks and they usually take the summer off
and then they usually try to do a couple handful
of camping activities or field trips or special activities throughout
the year. So it's I don't know, a half dozen.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Okay, you feel like you're getting good value? Is it
going to deter you guys? If you know they raise
the price in a few years to sixty five dollars
a year for the annual dues.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
Overall, I think the program is really good. I think
it teaches the girls a lot of really great life skills.
We would probably stop more because our daughter is getting
to the middle school age, so we probably stopped more
because of aging out, and sure than than the cost.
But I think it's a good value for the most part.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
What they do interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I love this. Thanks so much for calling us Nick.
That's good information, Brobam.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
All right, let's get a Lannie on the.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Phone line four two, five, five, eight eleven ten, Laney,
what you got on your mind about this?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Are you still there?
Speaker 8 (12:01):
Yep?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Oh, well I stopped sadly, I stopped buying Girl Scouts
cookies probably eighteen to twenty years ago. There was a
big story on it how the organization donated donates a
lot to Planned Parenthood, which was a big discouragement. And
if that's still today's situation, I don't like the idea.
(12:25):
That makes me a question about what they're going to
be teaching our little girls.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Right, so moral.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, So the I looked this up because I have
a morning show that I brought this up on as well,
and I had multiple people bring this exact point up specifically,
and according to their website, they say no, the Girl
Scouts of the USA does not have a relationship or
a partnership with Planned Parenthood. They have a social issues
(12:54):
FAQ on their website and they say that they do not. However,
I was able to uncover that people who were at
the top of the organization at various points have donated
to political causes or have donated to, you know, places
like Planned Parenthood independently in the past. And I understand
where you're coming from on that Lanny, that the numbers
(13:16):
themselves and maybe the finances that they come in, because
I mean, for the most part, Boy Scouts of America
have also kind of gone through some hardships with finances
over the last you know, decade or so, so it's
not independent of just the Girl Scouts. But I just
me not knowing about the Girl Scouts, and then me
talking to some people who like the last couple of
(13:37):
colors talking about, you know, how the experiences that their
daughters get. I feel like I'm still going to buy
the cookies. And again, I'm not trying to tell people
how they need to want to handle this however, but
for me, I don't want to penalize the eight year old,
ten year old, twelve year old girl that's trying to
get this experience with her friends, trying to learn about,
(13:59):
you know, the outdoor, trying to learn about different things
in their life. And I want, you know, first of all,
I like thin Mint's guilty is charged, but but I
don't think too And you have.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
A great point, and that's exactly, and I feel the
same way if it's like something independently, if if it
comes to you know, the facts that they are not
promoting that or a part of that, and yeah, that's
a whole different story, you know. I mean, like Starbucks.
I stopped going to Starbucks many years ago because they're
a huge, you know, supporter for playninged parenthood and all that.
(14:33):
There's some there's some bad juju on that is all that. Yeah,
I agree, if it's if it's something independent, yeah, by
all means I mean love a good girl scout cookie
absolutely yeah, and basically the benefits of what it helps
the kids exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
And that's kind of like I think about it as
micro as I possibly can, and I don't want to
penalize the kids in my neighborhood who are just trying to,
you know, have good experiences as kids because of something
that you know, some adult is doing. Some decisions adults
are making far far away. But they do have a
social issues FAQ page on their website which I looked
(15:09):
up today, and the first one, the first question they said,
is what is the Girl Scouts of the USA's position
regarding human sexuality, birth control, and abortion? And they say,
we do not take any positions or develop materials on
any of these issues. We feel our role is to
help girls develop self confidence and good decision making skills
that will help them make wise choices in all areas
of their lives. Parents or guardians make their decisions regarding
(15:31):
program participation that may be of a sensitive nature. So
basically they say parents have the control over what exactly
is taking place or what they would be learning anyway.
And then the next question is specifically, does Girl Scouts
of the United States have a relationship with Planned Parenthood?
That's question number two on this web page, and they
say no, Girl Scouts of the USA does not have
(15:51):
a relationship or partnership with Planned Parenthood. So that to me, lady,
like I'm hearing you, but at the same time, I'm
like you can believe them. I'm sure they're going to
say what they're going to say, but from their mouth
they say they don't support.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It, so I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Well, I appreciate that. That's really good information.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, no problem, man, Laney. I appreciate you listening and
calling in today. Please call us again sometime.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Thank you, No problem.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, And I'll mention a couple more of these things
that I think there may be some misconceptions about, at
least in recent including they talk about faith on this
social issues thing for the Girl Scouts.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I'll mention that.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And if anybody wants to get their thoughts on their
Girl Scouts or what they've learned through Girl Scouts, or
if they have a daughter that's going through Girl Scouts
right now, please call us at four two, five, five,
eight eleven ten News Radio eleven ten Kfab and Marie Sunger.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I was standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Such a fine site to see finish it.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
And then I went down the street and I bought
a sandwich extra tomato, yummy to me keep it ey,
get a diet mountain dew.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I don't know what you did.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You think you did you think if you would have
seen the actual lyrics there, that the Eagles would have
sued you suit us.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Is that did? I? Is it to keep it easy?
Water it easy, keep it easy?
Speaker 8 (17:14):
Eat?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
What the heck are you keep it easy? Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Gosh, terrible. I'm sad. I even I don't know you.
I don't know you. We're talking about the Girl Scouts.
They're increasing their prices here and I'm learning more about them,
and you know, so I had a caller call in
Laney basically said, hey, you know, it's a turn off
for people. They have been involved politically and have supported
(17:41):
Planned parenthood. And I went to their website specifically and
they said, we do not do that because they had
to say that because people, I think in general have
said that. So I'm just going to read you some
other things that were on here on this what they
call the Social Issues f a Q. On the Girl
Scouts dot org website, they say, does the Girl Scouts
of the USA just did they distribute a Planned parenthood
(18:04):
brochure at a United Nations event, which I think is
what a lot of people are referencing here, And they say, no,
we did not. In twenty ten, Girl Scouts of the
USA took part in the fifty fourth Commission on the
Status of Women at the United Nations. Our participation in
that conference was the subject of numerous Internet stories and
(18:25):
blogs that were factually inaccurate and troubling. Girl Scouts had
no knowledge of the brochure in question and played no
role in distributing it. Okay, Now again, we live in
an era where people will believe what they want, especially
if it's coming from the Internet, and you're it's an
uphill battle. I mean, you talk about some of the
(18:45):
people who have you know, been subject to ridicule, and
I mean you want to talk about like how much
worse certain situations got because things got out of control
on the on social media. I mean it happened with
regular larity, you know what I mean. Yeah, you can't
trust everything you see online. Yeah, but it becomes a
runaway train and then you know, like you can't even
(19:07):
get a candle on the story. There's no putting the
toothpaste back in the tube, right, but people will still
choose to believe whatever.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
There's a lot of toothpaste all over the place these days.
I don't want to know that. I'm just saying it's
just you know, a lot of toothpastes out of the
tube these days.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Josh Giddy a basketball player. Remember what happened to him
last year? Yeah, and they accused him of having relations
with a fifteen year old girl. But everybody just like
there was no evidence and no cooperation about that. He
would have been nineteen when it happened, and he met
the girl in an eighteen plus club. Now again, I
(19:45):
don't know like exactly you can do with the rules there,
but everybody just assumed full guilt even though there was
no cooperation, no suspension, and the investigation ended with really
no charges being filed whatsoever. But Josh Giddy for the
rest of his life now has to wear this and
people saying that he is a pededo and all this stuff.
I mean, is that fair?
Speaker 8 (20:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
But the fairs in August good one.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
The Girl Scouts also on their website here say what
is the Girl Scout's position on serving transgender youth, which
I'm sure many people are interested in these days. And
they say, and this is a quote, Girl Scouts is
proud to be the premier leadership organization for girls in
the country. Placement of transgender youth is handled on a
case by case basis, with the welfare and best interests
(20:31):
of the child and the members of the troupe or
group in question a top priority. That said, if the
child's recognized by the family and school or community as
a girl, lives culturally as a girl, the Girl Scouts
is an organization that can serve her in a setting
that is both emotionally and physically safe. Okay, well, that
leans to it to the next question they put on
(20:52):
their website, which would be the question that I think
all of us would ask in that regard, how does
Girl Scouts position on serving transgender youth apply to situation
involving camping or volunteers? Right, this would be like the
big question, right, Like you know, the locker room thing, right,
the boys and girls' bathrooms, things like that. All camping
would be like the one thing that this would certainly,
(21:14):
you know, flare up if you felt like, hey, you know,
this fourteen year old Girl Scout actually is not a
girl biologically That could lend.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Itself to be quite hairy.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Right, And again I'm not talking about excluding anybody or anything.
I'm going right off of their website girl Scouts dot org.
They have a social issues FAQ and this is what
they say. The question is how does Girl Scouts position
on serving transgender youth apply to situations involving camping or volunteers?
And I quote these situations are rare and are considered
(21:47):
individually with the best interests of all families in mind.
Should any girl requiring special accommodations wish to camp, Girl
Scouts recommends that the local council makes similar accommodation that
schools across the country follow in regarding to changing sleeping
arrangements and other travel related activities. With respect to volunteers,
Girl Scouts welcomes both male and female adult volunteers and
(22:10):
has developed appropriate safeguards regarding roles and responsibilities to ensure
that girls receive the proper supervision and support. Interesting, now,
on the other end of that token, the next question
that they have on this FAQ, and this is again
we're trying to uncover. This is to you know, the
Girl Scouts are they're hemorrhaging money. They're trying to figure
out ways they're going to charge more annual fees, trying
(22:33):
to you know, make sure that they can say afloat
over the next several years. Well, does Girls Scouting support
families of faith is the next question. And here's what
they said, and I quote, Yes, Girl Scouting supports girls
from all backgrounds and beliefs. While we are a secular
organization that refrains from teaching religious or spiritual beliefs or practices,
(22:54):
we believe that the motivating force in Girl Scouting is
a spiritual one, and we greatly value our long standing
partnerships with religious organizations across many faiths that share the
values of the Girl Scout Promise in law. We encourage
girls to develop connections to their own spiritual and religious
beliefs by earning recognitions provided by their faith communities and
(23:16):
by earning my Promise my Faith pen, which helps girl
deepen the connection between the Girl Scout Law and her faith.
We support the right of faith leaders to verify that
program delivered to girls in their places of worship is
consistent with their faith's teachings.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
End quote.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
So I look at this, and there's a lot more
on this social issues FAQ for the Girl Scouts here,
But one thing that I have learned today is I've
done more research trying to understand what the Girl Scouts
stand for and why maybe their numbers aren't as high
and maybe why that they're, you know, needing to try
to make more money. Besides, maybe they have too many
paid employees at the top of the bureaucracy, you know,
things of that nature. But I have learned that this
(23:54):
is absolutely an organization where, for the most part, you're
going to be able to get that transparency from if
you had questions about whether or not it made sense
for your daughter, or your niece, or your granddaughter or
your neighbor kid, and you were just like the girl
Scout's actually a good organization. It sounds like, for if
(24:15):
for nothing else, they are incredibly transparent with the way
that they view things, and most of the major decisions
that are made are made by the troops themselves and
the troop leaders themselves. And as long as you don't
have somebody stealing the money from the cookies, like the
lady in Cincinnati that was arrested yesterday, then sounds like
it offers a lot of good ways for girls to
(24:36):
get various experiences with their friends and have the opportunity
to experience things that maybe they otherwise would not have
an opportunity to do so. And that's one of the
things that I think the more you know, Right, the
more you know and the better you know. We position
ourselves as a society to learn about this stuff. And
knowing what I know now, I wish I would have
(24:57):
say in the Boy Scouts longer than I did, because
I found out, you know, as I got my twenties
turned into my thirties, Man, I really actually love being
out in nature, and I wish I had more skills
that I learned as a young person of ways that
I can utilize that while I'm out there now. I'm
learning them in my early thirties, and you know, I
feel like that would have been a good experience if
(25:17):
I would have experimented a little bit more with them
when I was at that age. Worth thinking about three
forty nine, we'll come back. We got more forty to
stick around. News Radio eleven ten kfab Emery's telling that
