In its earliest days, the majorfunction of radio was news. Going on

day closer to the weekend. I'msmart and stuff. We will continue with
the big word of the week comingup at seven thirty. That means we're
one day away from giving away GreenDay tickets. Those come at you tomorrow
morning seven thirty am so new letteron the big word of the week.
I yeah, maybe some of youmight have already figured it out, but

(01:07):
if not, you'll definitely have itfigured out by seven thirty this morning,
and then tomorrow morning your chance towin. Jackson Here at six twelve feels
a little better out there this morning. The humidity is down and it was
actually only like seventy degrees instead oflike eighty one. When I left the
house this morning. It felt good. Yeah, it was fantastic. Now,

(01:27):
I mean you can immediately feel thedifference and go, oh, thank
god, it's not as hot.Well, it's not as humid. It's
the humidity. Like I could reallyfeel a difference in the humidity. Well,
you know, it's not the heat, it's the humidity crash, right,
it's truth to that there is it'sstill going to be in the lower

(01:49):
nineties. But considering we've been aroundninety seven to ninety eight degrees for the
last handful of days, lower ninetyis gonna feel pretty good and we may
get and relief for a couple ofdays, and then let's not talk about
next week because we're back to almostone hundred degrees. I take on Monday
Tuesday, what's going on with thisthis summer? And you know what I've

(02:13):
noticed, Well, there hasn't beenthose summer storms that we get. We
got one last night. Well wegot that one. Did you get that
one? Yeah? Yeah, Butlike we used to get them every day,
like we've had them every day,we haven't done that this year.
Yeah, it's been it's been fairlydry. The sky was absolutely gorgeous last
night. I put some a pictureout my window up on Instagram if you

(02:34):
want to see it. Yeah,that one's in McClain Jackson Radio, JAXO
in radio on Instagram. No sJaxo in radio if you want to see
it. I took it. Tooklike thirty five pictures last night. This
guy kept changing and I'm looking outmy window and like every five minutes it
looked even cooler, and I waslike, this is insane. It's almost

(02:57):
nine o'clock and I need to goto bed, and I can't stop staring
at the sky. It was beautifulthough, it really was. I was
gonna, oh, I've got tofollow for you. I'm gonna dig it
up and we'll give it to younext time we jump on the air.
Here about six thirty ish, there'sa guy and I think I even commented
on his post that I suspect thisaccount is going to blow up and I'm

(03:23):
glad I'm on it. Well,it's you know, just getting started.
There's this guy. He's from NewHampshire. He's driving a muscle car across
the world. Basically, he wentall over the States, did like eighteen
thousand miles in the States. Thenhe flew his car to Europe and He's
gone all over Europe, down throughItaly, through Greece, and now he's

(03:44):
about to cross into Russia because hewants to get to like Kazakhstan or who's
Pekistan or something like that is hisend goal. But he has to drive
through Russia. So his whole thingis like, keep following. We're five
days away from the Russian border,where I will drive an American muscle car
with American plates through Russia. Andyou're like, oh, this is gonna

(04:05):
get good. This is gonna getgood. He had not really run into
any problems until he hit where wasit not Grease? Maybe it was Turkey.
He was driving through Turkey in thelast few days. He they said

(04:26):
he was drifting, I mean kindof like spinning his tires around a corner.
And he's got a big, fastcar. I think he's in a
Challenger. And he got pulled overand he said the tickets, he didn't
give a dollar amount, but hejust said they were ridiculous, and because
he was traveling, they wrote himthe tickets and then took his license plates

(04:46):
to physically physically took his plates offof his car to assure that he would
come in the next day to paythe tickets. Isn't that crazy? It's
one way to do it. Yeah, I mean, and I think it
was. Anyway, it's about tocross into Russia. And you know,
the big thing is if you jumpinto the comments and you got half the
people going, you're insane, dude, you're gonna drive a car with New

(05:10):
Hampshire plates through Russia, big musclecar, You're dumb. And then you
have the other people who are justlike, man, don't believe everything you
see on the media. It's like, you know, we were always terrified
of these other places because people tellus how terrifying they are when they're really
not, and then they give examplesof like help. You know, and
I've heard this. There are peopleoverseas that never want to come to the

(05:32):
US because they are absolutely convinced becauseof the news that people just get shot
in the street everywhere, you knowwhat I mean, Because they hear about
all the shootings and they're like,you can't go to America, You'll get
shot. Well, no, youwon't. I went to college with a
girl who had grown up in theSoviet Union during the Cold War. Yeah,
yeah, and so when we talkedabout that and what it was like

(05:55):
on this side and that side,and what we would hear and what we
thought, and like what they hearthat we all have. Yeah, it's
crazy. So I'm very interested infollowing to see if he runs into any
problems. You know, he's gotsome Russian people commenting on there going don't
believe everything you hear. We're veryfriendly, we love foreigners, we love
travelers, visitors, but you knowhe sounds like a trap. Well no,

(06:15):
I just think if he runs acrossthe wrong cop or crooked anything,
he may find himself in some trouble. It's Russia, dude, they're not
very fond of us right now.I don't know for on very good terms
with Russia. And he's going todrive through there with New Hampshire place.
This guy anyway, I'll dig itup because I don't have it right in

(06:39):
front of me, but I'll takeit up. And then you should follow
him on Instagram. And when Ifirst found it, I think it had
like eighteen hundred followers, and likeovernight it's got like thirty or something,
just keeps growing. Everybody wants toeither a see the guy succeed or be
watch him get arrested. We willbreak you. He cused of being a

(07:00):
spy. I don't know. Sixeighteen right here and we are back in
just a few it's DC's Classic RockBig one hundred. DC's classic Rock HiT's
Big one hundred. There's Shremann,that Aerosmith Jackson here and I think I
got it. I think got itfor you, all right. I was
talking earlier. It is six thirtythree. Things I know coming up before

(07:21):
seven o'clock. I was talking earlierabout a guy just started following and his
account is just starting to blow up, so you can get in on it
early. And he has been drivinghis muscle car believe it's a Challenger all
over the world. So he didlike eighteen thousand miles in States, drove
everywhere. Then he flew his carto Europe, and he's been driving all

(07:43):
over Europe. And his plan isto go through Russia and into like Kazakhstan
or Bekastan or I can't remember.But he's trying to get to the other
side, and the only way toget there is through Russia. Right,
So he's been posting videos every day. Here he is in Turkey. Here,
he is in Greece. Here,he is in Italy. And it's
a pretty cool follow. But hisbig thing now is that I think he's

(08:05):
probably only a day or two away, because he's been doing a countdown six
days until I drive my American musclecar with American license plates through Russia.
And you're like, uh, Idon't know if that's a good idea,
dude, not sure, not sureif that's a good idea. But so

(08:26):
it sucked me in because, asI was saying earlier this morning, you
know, you got half the commentsgoing yeah, you know, it's like
that we only are afraid of placeslike this because the media makes us afraid.
And then you got other people going, n dude, that's dumb.
We're not on very good terms withRussia right now. I wouldn't be driving,
you know, a Dodge with NewHampshire plates through Russia. But he's

(08:50):
doing it, and he posts everyday. So it's a very cool follow.
Let me see if he's got yeah, and on Instagram he's got his
his his post and then his reels. The reels are where the good stuff
is, and it is Sinclair's underscoresearch s I N C L A I

(09:11):
R S underscore search Sinclair's search.Uh, it's basically a blog. He's
driving across the world in a musclecar with a hammock on the back.
That's the other thing. He hecamps. He's got one of those trailer
hitch hammocks, right, So hesets up a hammock and he sleeps,

(09:31):
sleeps on the hammock hanging off theback of his hitch. And he's got
like a little canopy can throw upif it rains. It's pretty cool.
Oh, it's a cool car,yes, Like I think it's a Dodge
Challenger. Uh yeah, that's aChallenger, right, yeah. Yeah.
And he's a little nuts man becausehe will he will almost do a bit
of off roading and he's going uplike mountain passes and stuff on dirt roads

(09:56):
and I'm like, imagine getting stuckon a mountain pass up a dirt road
in Russia. I'll pass. What'sthe endpoint of the trip, do you?
I think he said Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan. I can't remember one of those
two. One of the stands.And I think that's where he'll end his
trip. I think that's where he'llbe done and fly everything back, I
guess. But worth a follow forsure, And it's picking up like thousands

(10:22):
of followers a day, So checkit out. Six thirty six Things I
Know in just a few It isDC's Classic Rock Big one hundred. DC's
Classic Rock is Big one hundred.There's green Day at six forty eight.
It is time for Things I Know. Speaking of green Day, the single
American Idiot by green Day only madeit to number sixty one on the Billboard

(10:43):
chart in America, but it wasa top ten in Canada, the UK,
the Netherlands, Scotland, Croatia,New Zealand, and Australia. That
was pretty political record and I thinkit's a funny It made it to sixty
one here and the rest of theworld was like, yeah, right on

(11:05):
the money. The longest song toenter the Billboard Hot one hundred was I
Swear I Really wanted to make arap album, But this is literally the
Way the Wind blew Me This Time. That was the title. I swear
really wanted to make a rap album, but this is the way the Wind
literally blew Me This Time by Andrethree thousand that came out December of twenty

(11:26):
three. Wow. The song thatis clocked as the longest song twelve minutes
and twenty seconds. I don't knowof it. Well, how long has
it shine on you? Crazy diamond? No, even that's only like Pink

(11:46):
Floyd China. Even that's only likeeleven minutes, right, and pigs is
only like eleven Yeah, that isdamn. Americans throw away approximately sixty eight
million dollars in change every year.Guilty the guy that cleans out his car.

(12:11):
And if it's a bunch of penniesand nickels, I'm like, screwlies.
My mother would shoot me. Ohgod, oh my god. She'd
have a heart attack if she sawme throwing money away, even if it's
a penny. But uh yeah,And on average, about sixty eight million
of it gets thrown away every year. The US has nearly as many cars
as people, specifically nine hundred andeight cars for every one thousand people.

(12:35):
Wow, I didn't realize it wasthat high. But there's only one car
per one thousand in North Korea.That is the lowest ratio of any country.
The truck around on bicycles in NorthKorea. I think we don't see
much. We don't see much,and anything I have seen come out of
North Korea don't trust it. There'ssome skinny dude looks like he's starving on

(12:58):
a bicycle out in a ricefield.Only one in one thousand people in North
Korea have a car. And finally, Jethrow Tull was a real person.
He was a British agricultural pioneer inthe seventeen hundreds. The band picked the
name when a guy at their bookagency suggested it because he was just a

(13:22):
big history buff and somehow it stuck, so Ian Anderson decided to go with
Jethrow Tull. I always wondered whatthat meant, now I know, always
wondered, Who's jeth Throw Toll.You think Ian Anderson got picked on a
lot when he was a kid.Like grown up He's like, I'm gonna
grow up and I'm gonna wear tightsand play rock music on a flute.

(13:46):
People. It works. It didworks, damn well, is what it
did. Love Jethrow Tell all rightto six point fifty two. We'll take
care some business here coming up inthe seven o'clock hour, new letter for
you for the big word of theweek. Green Day tickets up for grabs
tomorrow morning. If you know theword, we'll get to Florida Man a
little bit later this morning. Sportson Tap and more. It's big one

(14:09):
hundred. DC's glass crockets, It'sa big one hundred. There's Tom Petty
free falling. Yeah, we weretalking, I don't know, not too
long ago, a couple of monthsago, seven o eight. Jackson here
and we're talking about people that hadtheir head frozen to try to come back
in the future. Disney, TedWilliams, Ted Williams, and I think

(14:33):
they screwed up something with Ted Williams. There's a new book out that talks
about It's not new, it's beenout for a while, but talks about
the world of cryonics. You know, Oh, that would suck if you
had it done. And then whenthey thawed you out. Well, I
think they screwed it up, andyou had they did something they liked.

(14:56):
They screwed his frozen head up.I can't remember what happened. I don't
know if the like where it wasfrozen, if the case broke or got
a crack in it, or somethinghappened, and they're not sure you'll ever
be able to bring dead's head back, or not bring part of it back
Disney. I don't know. He'sprobably still frozen in good shape somewhere well

(15:18):
there's Bloomberg just did a story onthis, on this emerging trend. They
call them revival trust and that isbecause when people are cryogenically frozen when they
die, they don't want to wakeup five hundred years from now poor.
They want money, So instead ofleaving their money to a loved one or

(15:39):
a charity, they continue to hoardit after death. But the problem is
that becomes pretty difficult because the lawdoes not allow you to leave money to
yourself right you're dead and ye,there's like a limit on how long a
trust will last. I think it'slike one hundred years and a bunch of

(16:00):
states. Florida is the is thelongest it'll last. Up. See,
Florida might be the place that lastup to one thousand years a trust.
So you could leave a trust foryourself in some place like Florida and that
you know, if they brought youback in seven hundred years, you'd be

(16:21):
all right. What are the maintenancefees to keep your head fued? I
don't know. That's a very goodquestion. I read about that on the
Ted Williams thing one time. Itwasn't as much as you thought it would
be. Once it was done.It was expensive to have done, but
the actual storage wasn't. They probablyshould have paid more because again I think
they dropped Ted's head on the floorand cracked the case or something. I

(16:47):
got to dig into that. Ican't remember what happened to it. All
our remembers that something went wrong.In the headline years ago read read Ted
williams Head abused, I'm like,oh, I got a click on that.
Ted williams Head abused. What's goingon here? So one, a

(17:08):
state lawyer says he's worked it outwith about one hundred clients. This is
a thing now that all these richpeople want to be frozen and the first
thing they're worried about is having enoughmoney there when they thaw out and they
want to wake up rich. Butit gets complicated when you parse out to
different ways you could be revived,Like are you the same person if they

(17:30):
only thaw your brain and put itin another body? I mean, it
just gets really crazy, right,Or what if they just upload your consciousness
into a computer or clone you?Right? Is that still your money?
Is it still you? Are youstill the same person? They talked to
a seventy six year old guy inMichigan, who's trying to plan for life
after death. He's putting one hundredthousand dollars in a revival trust, with

(17:52):
the rest going to his daughter anda foundation he set up. But I
don't think this guy's thinking this thingthrough. Let's say it takes five hundred
years, probably quicker than that.Let's say, well, first off,
who knows if this whole frozen thingwill even work. People are just like,
freeze me and if they ever comeup with something, bring me back.

(18:15):
He put one hundred thousand dollars ina trust. I'll say they saw
him out in one hundred years.That one hundred thousand dollars is gonna be
worth like two cents. That's gonnabe worth anything? Is there like so
that it can gain interest over thetime that you're frozen. You would hope,
so you would hope something. Butthen what's going to happen to you

(18:36):
know, the market and investments andand what's gonna happen to I mean,
we're gonna end up just going toa digital currency. Is there going to
be a new world order? Whothe hell knows what's gonna happen in the
next hundred years. Thinking of somany ways possibilities here, dude, things
could be upside down by November.Fact, that's what he was going to

(18:57):
say. No, you don't know, man, But I still I still
love the idea of like if Itell you, what if I had the
money and I might consider it,would you considerate just just on the off
chance, like I wouldn't believe it, but just on the off chance that

(19:17):
one hundred years from now they couldbring it back, right we one hundred
years doesn't seem that long. We'llhave two hundred years whatever it is.
But I have a feeling you'd comeback and go, yeah, no,
now check me out. I wantto. I want to. I want
to, like self destruct button.I want to. I want to,
like I can come back and likefive hundred years look around and go do
I like it? No, I'mgood, and just hit the self destruct
and go back to being dead.I think one hundred years is way too

(19:41):
short of a time span that athousand thousand. There we go. God,
I don't know that would be frightening, man. All Right, seven
fourteen, we got to take takea break here of your second letter.
Sorry not you're a second letter.Your fourth letter of the week. For
the Big Word of the Week iscoming up at seven thirty this morning.
That's good for Green Day tickets tomorrow. It's DC's Classic Rock Big one hundred.

(20:02):
DC's Classic Rock's Big one hundred Fleetoodmancan go your own way. It's
Big one hundred at seven twenty nine. We're going to give you a letter
here for the big Word of theweek coming up just around the corner.
Uh, let's take a phone callhere, Hi, Big one hundred.
Hello, Hey, I love correctionon something you reported on a little bit
ago. Yes, you said aboutDisney was frozen. Yeah, he was

(20:25):
cremated. Was he really? Yeah? Because I just I was just actually
because I was trying to remember theyou know, the story about Ted Williams,
because like twenty years ago they werelike Ted Williams head abused or used
for batting practice or something ridiculous.And in the story it said that his
body and head were stored at thesame place as Walt Disney's. Well,

(20:48):
like I said, Disney was cremated. He was cremated. Huh yeah,
huh here we go. Oh ohoh, look I just found something factor
fiction. Was Walt Disney frozen?His wishes were to be cremated, yes,
and his death certificate says that hewas cremated. But but apparently there
are still people that believe he's frozen. Who knows, sup, he'll live

(21:12):
forever? Yeah, right right,all right, man, hey, thanks
for calling. I appreciate it.Not a problem. But have a good
day you too. Everybody loves agood conspiracy theory. It depends on where
you look on the internet. Gottalove the Internet. There's all sorts of
places. No, he's absolutely frozen, and he's under the pirates of the

(21:33):
Caribbean ride. It was Walt Disneyfrozen. His daughter came out and and
has tried to squash it all andsays, no, his wishes were to
be cremated, and that's what wedid. But then you got the people
that, can we trust her exactly? You've got the people going, how
did she know? We don't believeyou? You frozen? I'm sticking with

(21:56):
the still frozen part. There wasa book that came out, I think
in two thousand and nine. Itwasn't quite twenty years ago, but two
thousand and nine. I think itwas that that revealed all that Ted Williams
stuff. Depends on what you readand where you read it. But you
know, I'm like I say,when you read headlines, just google Ted
Williams head abused and watch what comesup. You'll find everything from Ted Williams

(22:18):
head being used as batting practice topieces of head flying around the lab to
accidentally decapitated. I'm just like,I can't. In a world of so
much information, it's so hard tofind it to get the actual truth.
Yeah, now everybody loves a goodconspiracy theory. Man, how on earth

(22:40):
did I end up talking about TedWilliams? Oh? Like, why are
we off on Ted Williams Disney becauseof the original Yeah. The original story
was that there are these financial plannersnow that are struggling to find ways to
preserve people's fortunes that want to befrozen, and there are hundreds that are
there were requesting it, like tryingto set up what can we do?

(23:02):
Can we set up some sort oftrust? Can we you know, what
can we do so that if I'mfrozen and they do find the technology to
bring me back, I want tocome back with money, and and can
you imagine like being a you know, certified planner there? Yeah, it's
guy all right, So here's thedeal. I got a million bucks here.

(23:26):
I want to put this somewhere whereI can get it in a thousand
years. Well, it'll be worthyou know, twenty five cents. How
much interest does a normal savings accountgeneration. I don't want three over like
those thousand years. Doesn't that dependon the interest rates? Right? It
doesn't depend on the It is seventhirty three. Let's give him the letter

(23:47):
for the big word of the week. The big word of the week on
Big one hundred. Today's letter isthe letter A. The letter A that
should probably just about reveal the worldword for you. Right, Oh,
I'm sorry the letter Oh. Isaw crash. I saw crash rolling his
eyes, and I went, DidI say that? I said that wrong?

(24:08):
The letter Oh? I was thinking, oh, and I said A.
No, the letter Oh, Nowthat should actually start to reveal the
word for you. No, Ilook at it now and go if I
were to put an A in there, No, that doesn't work, does
it? I was thinking, Idon't know how to that does not work.

(24:30):
It's the letter oh. Oh isin outstanding the letter Oh. You'll
know if you've been collecting words whatthat word is. But we will finish
it up tomorrow at about this time, and that will be your chance to
win Green Day tickets. I said, oh right, oh, letter,
oh, seven thirty four, it'sDC's ClassicRock it's Big one hundred, DC's

(24:52):
Class crockets. Big one hundred iswhite Snake. And here I go again.
Seven forty nine. Have you seenthe latest conspiracy? No? Not
that the Earth is flat? No, not that we didn't land on the
moon. No, not the Trumpone. No, can I keep going?
Not that Disney's frozen and under thepirates and the Caribbean Bride. No,

(25:12):
there's that One's true. It's allover, It's all over twitter X.
They're saying that the reason Biden performedso poorly in that debate was because
it was a havana syndrome that theyhit him with the energy rays. Some
guy that Okay, it started withsome guy out of Russia who said,

(25:36):
that reminds me of havana syndrome.He thinks that he thinks that they somebody
directed some energy rays at him.That havana syndrome thing is pretty interesting though.
It's been hitting a lot of likeCIA people, and you know,
if it's a thing, But thereare countless, countless cases of it right

(25:56):
where people experience whatever it is,headaches and the confusion and all that stuff
like from not sleeping. Maybe nowwe're talking about no one. I have
an alternate theory. It's not thathe had Havana syndrome. He's old.

(26:18):
He's really old. He reminds meof my grandpa when he was that age.
And that's what happens when you getold. That's what will happen to
you. That's what will happen tome. That Why is our country run
by old white men? Why dowe do this? I've never done it

(26:40):
to this degree. It's crazy,man, It's crazy. It's crazy.
We were saying, we're trying toremember Reagan because you know, Reagan was
pretty old, and when he gotout of office, he was he was
seventy seven, seven seventy seven,So Biden's eighty eight or I'm sorry,
eighty one and Trump is what seventyeighty eight something like that. I think,
yeah, I think he's like threeyears behind. Reagan got out,

(27:03):
you know, because Reagan got hit. Was it Alzheimer's that hit Reagan?
Because he went downhill fast? Sohe got out. That was perfect timing,
right. Reagan was starting to slip, I think, and then he
was done, and he was ayouthful seventy seven Ray finished. I'll tell
you what. Reagan was a greatcommunicator, don't you think He was a

(27:26):
great speaker. Whether you're a Republicanor a Democrat or what doesn't matter.
He was a great communicator. Hewas a charming dude. Whether whether you
liked him or not, he washe was good at communicating. It is
seven point fifty two. I wantto say big thanks to the South South

(27:47):
Louden Youth Chral Corralral Corral because itsounds cooler, he said. The Youth
Corral that came in yesterday morning.Here they are. They are fantastic,
great group of kids. There's abouttwenty five of them in studio with this.
Yesterday morning. They won the contestto get up on stage and perform
with foreigner I Want to Know WhatLove Is? So you'll see them if

so cool. So I want tosay too, because a bunch of parents
showed up too, and I waskind of bummed that we didn't have enough
room in the studio, but withtwenty five kids in there, we couldn't

(28:33):
put another person in there. Butyou know, there were like twenty five
parents out in the hallways. Andso to the parents that came in to
stay, if you're listening this morning, awesome kids. You're doing a fantastic
job raising those kids, because theywere all super friendly, outgoing, talkative,
which I guess you kind of haveto be if you've got that kind

(28:55):
of personality to get up on stageand sing. Like those three girls that
I put them on the spot andthey walked up a microphone and started singing.
I would have never done that atthat age. Huh, no way,
So just great. I couldn't sing, Yeah, well I couldn't.
I couldn't sing. Just great kids, they really were. They were super
friendly, super outgoing, great personalities, and I think they're going to do

(29:15):
a fantastic job. So thanks forbringing them in. We appreciate it.
It's a lot of fun and welook forward to seeing them up on stage

indeed this wow Uh. There isa story in the news this morning about

(33:46):
a guy that he was stealing beerfrom a CBS. Okay, pretty Florida
man thing to do. He wasarrested Thursday after allegedly leaving his child behind
after he stole beer from a conveniencestore. In downtown Miami. He was

(34:09):
arrested for retail theft. The Departmentof Children and Families will have to follow
up with the children, of course. According to police, he walked into
the CBS in Miami with a strollerand two kids, went to get beer
a few feet away, and thechild managed to get out of the stroller
when he wasn't looking. He allegedlyput the beer on top of the stroller

(34:32):
and quickly left the store without pain, So he scooted in there to steal
some beer. As he turned hisback to grabbing the beer, the kid
climbed out of the stroller and tookoff. He didn't know, and he,
you know, got a few blocksaway with the stolen beer and realized
his kid was not in the stroller, so he had to go back to

(34:53):
the store, where he was immediatelydetained for stealing the beer and is now
being investigatid by the Special Victims Unit. I wow, empathize with this Florida
man more than any Florida man you'veever had. Wow, Like, I
know, my kids they're tough,man. Oh my god. It's the

(35:17):
funny thing is I can just picturethat, like I see him walking in
with his two kids and a stroller, and I see him turning his back
to steal some beer, and thekid just getting out and walking away,
and he pushes the empty stroller outand doesn't even realize it. Yes,
and then can you imagine, youknow, being a couple of blocks away
and going, oh crap. Yesterday, my wife was dropping the older kid

(35:43):
off that camp before taking the twoyear old to daycare, and she turned
her back, and then the twoyear old was gone, and he was
hiding behind one of the instructors atthe daycare too, because he didn't want
to go to daycare. Sure they'requick, yeah, and they do it
so often. My kid when hewas about that age, and he thought

(36:07):
it was funny. And I guessI found it kind of humorous too,
but my wife did not. Hewould whenever would be in a store,
you know how like you they havelike the circular racks of clothes, like
t shirts, pants, whatever itis, you know, the circular racks,
right, He thought it was coolto go inside of those and hide,

(36:28):
so he'd be right behind you andthen you turn around and he was
gone. And he thought it was, you know, funny. He was
playing hide and seek and he'd be. He'd he'd climb into one of those
circular things and hide, and he'sgone. He's gone. Can't find him
until you hear like a little giggle, you know, because he thinks he's
being funny and he's not. He'snot being funny. Now he's a teenager.

(36:52):
And the cops called the other daybecause him and his buddies this.
I blame this on his sister,because his sister used to look. I
have feral kids. It's what itcomes down to, right, And I
do that intentionally. We were talkingabout this the other day with Dennis.
Right, I'm not a helicopter parent. I let my kids grow up the
way I grew up. They're kindof free range. So my daughter and

(37:15):
her friends, you know, theyused to wander around town and they would
go explore things and break into theabandoned church and do all this crap I
did when I was a kid.I'm just like, be careful, right,
And they would explore tunnels and allsorts of stuff. And of course,
his sister tells him about this tunnelthat they used to explore in Philly
that goes, you know, allthe way from a certain area all the

(37:37):
way down apparently ends all the waydown on like the Schoogle River, which
could be dangerous if you're deep,deep down in this tunnel and there's some
sort of flood or water or realligatorsome callicator python. And some people saw
him and his buddies go into thistunnel and not come out, like they

(37:59):
must have been like eating up ata restaurant, a dak on a restaurant.
They saw them go in and observedthat it had been a long time
and they had not come out.No, they're exploring. Cops came went
in there and found them and theycalled you, yeah, yeah, did
you have to go pick them up? Uh? No, No, they
just said, hey, they can'tdo this. No. And I still

(38:21):
remember getting the call from the copswith my daughter because her and her friends
were walking the train tracks. Ohyeah, now that's dumb. I done
that though. That's dumb. Andit was also one of the tracks that
wasn't just the local, but itwas the high speed that would run through
there. And so he calls meand he's like, hey man, he's

(38:42):
like, look, we got yourdaughter here. She was walking the tracks.
You know how dangerous that is.I'm like, yeah, the stupid
kid. And he's like, youdon't mind that I scared the living crap
out of her? Do he?I was like, no, do please?
He goes, well, I basicallytold her that Amtrak had to shut
everything down for the day and they'reresponsible for millions of lost of dollars.
He's like, I better a bigline of like all the disruptions she caused.

(39:06):
He goes, in reality, youknow, we just can't have it.
Walking on, I'm like, yeah, I know. We used to
jump onto the trains when I wastwelve thirteen. Oh yeah, yeah,
yeah, we did. To Don'tdo this, kids, no, no,
don't do this. It's very dangerous. But we did the the freight
trains that would roll through and they'droll through it like, you know,
three four miles an hour. Yeah, and we would jump up onto the
the the cargo ones you know withthe have the doors open, and we

(39:30):
would much Yeah, that's bad,that's bad. Looking back on it now,
we were stupid, but we wouldjump on them and pretend to be
hobos for like a mile and thenjump off and then walk back and that
do it again. That was reallystupid. Don't do don't ever do that.
Expect so many things could have gonewrong there, so awesome. Yeah,
