Okay, we've had this a littleearlier in the show. Here's what happened
on the station as the eclipse wentdown for thirty seconds. Everybody, it's
about to get really weird. Itdoes look like night rain right now.

(05:36):
Because I felt be quiet because peopleare hating us. Right now. We
are eight seconds away from your lifebeing changed forever. Ladies and gentleman,
soak it in. It's the pathof totality. I swear my girlfriends with
pubic hair is heavier than that.I don't even know what that means.
Morality and the path of totality.That people are clapping for the sun,

(06:01):
who are they clapping for the mooneverywhere, that question whose side are we
on? Take your glasses off andlook around at how dark it is?
My legal dark? Almost there,almost there, almost there, almost there,

(06:46):
Shooty, oh my god, lookat how well let me Cosina is this

(07:06):
you all seeing it? It's happeningright now, you know, I like
I said this earlier. They weretalking about it. They're making their jokes,

they start yelling yeah, And evenBen had oh my god, yeah I
didn't know. Yeah, And likeI told you guys, that's I was

(07:27):
alone in my front yard with Simonand Hendrix's two dogs, and I looked
up and I said, oh myefing god, I said, it out
loud, and I didn't realize,you know, it was yeah, it
was jaw drops your what did yourdogs do? Because Jeraldine was inside,
they did much of any. Hendrixkind of went halfway inside. I think
he went up on the porch andSimon just laid with me and no.

(07:48):
I was watching them. I waswondering if they'd have any reaction at all.
Nothing, but I like that.You could tell it was just like
everyone felt fine, Okay, thismight be cool, and then, oh
my god, just this peaceful momenthere's after the totality happens, and then
right after it's crazy. Right,man, this is pretty cool. It
does look like armor gedding up there. Wow, look at that. That's

(08:11):
damn. That's two different people.Super cool. It's incredible. So you
don't have to crap on everything.Yeah, he's been down playing this for
weeks, really, and now he'scrying. It's just the stuff with the
You know, everybody used this weirdoccasion to admit the worst thing you've ever
done. Christina, Well, Idid just burp on air, but I
turned my mic off. So skinnyppedin a neighbors pool quite a bit as

(08:35):
a kid. Okay, steal everything. Man, I watched you and your
wife having said chatter based I hookedup with my best friend's mom. Oh

Oh, don't look that hurts.I was looking. Wait, what are

(09:01):
you guys cheering the sun? Wow, this is happening, really famous.
Yeah, guys, I think Ilooked at not totality too much. You
burn your retinas? Yeah, Igot some spots. Oh, Jack,
I'm a changed man. After that, I think I want to go commit
some crimes. All right, I'ma changed man. He've changed for the
worst. I do. Like youhave one minute to admit the worst thing

(09:24):

That's good that I watched you havesex with your wife. He's hooked up
with my best friend's mom. Changejust up the road. Leave it to
Steve to invoke chatter bait. Thengets killed by James with his copperhead slaying
tool a samurai. Okay, here'sthe hell it kind of ended yesterday before

(09:50):
we get to what the local newsdid on this. Okay, we have
some time here. Ben. Earlier, you were saying, during a commercial.
There was some amazing ass out hereat Clyde Warning and you wanted to
rank it. Yeah, I toldyou that in complete confidence. I just
noticed some of the guys here looklike they work out. Guys, they
really do, They really do.Man. I feel like all these people

(10:13):
are universally bonded together forever. Yeah. Do you think any children were conceived
during that Yes? Not out here. You know, some people timed it
out. But now you can't guaranteeyou're making a child. I guaranteed that
someone within our line of sight.That's what I was got pregnant during.
Not at the park, but inone of those buildings, one of those
building. Yes, someone made alove explode. Someone got the bi sounds

(10:41):
like someone fill in the pool there, Chris, what I love it.
People are just like hugging and celebratingwhat just went down. I'm really glad
I got to experience this outside ofyou guys. This was really cool.
That was beautiful. Then you knowshe has to pick on Ben every time.
It was great, Ben cool.How many people think did try to

(11:03):
conceive during that month? I mean, because people are that's some wild ideas,
and the truth is we don't reallyknow how this whole world works with
the celestial bodies and also humans onEarth. There is a chance that if
you conceive a baby during that eclipsethat it changes something. They're an avenger,
yeah, Homelander could be born,yes, or spider baby. Okay,

(11:24):
they're not gonna be superheroes, butthere is Yeah, like the possibility
is that that changing something? Yeah? I agree. So if that's someone
remotely true, that means somebody didthink that planet the phiography for the well,
all the people like on the newlocal news and play a ton of
local news audio, but they weretalking about people in the buildings at these

(11:46):
offices just up at the window.You're all watching it from inside. That's
kind of cool to see all thesepeople to the window of these office buildings
that you only see windows of andthere they were. So yeah, no,
it definitely definitely happened. Someone didit. If you had sex during
the four minutes of totality, yeah, Colin, later in the week we
want or if you're worth over tenmillion dollars, yes, that as well.

(12:09):
And if you know anything about moon'syeah and menstruation, Kevin, he's
an education. NBC five is wherewe will focus our attention now. I
spent some time last night. Ihit record before I went on to the
park to watch this yesterday and recordedon the local news channels. Of course,
we got to talk to the kids. Does this kid? Is this
kid already smoking weed? Is myquestion. I've seen that though the sun

(12:31):
has changed every minute or so,the sun has some different things. What's
your name? Listen? I thoughtyou'd get it so excited when you looked
up there you see. I sawlike it was getting different, like it
was changing, and it was verycool, very cool. It's like the

(12:52):
moon that's actually listening. The moonhas a big part in it, doesn't
it. Yeah, it's like themoon, but it's actually the sun.
I was like, yes, yeah, I was adorable watching that. These
kids were all excited too, andthey're getting interviewed. It's like the moon,
but it's actually the sun. Thekids a future in morning drive.
Yeah. So this is a familywho is their homeschool. They were from

(13:13):
Heath and they drove down like tenminutes. But the husband here in this
relationship had drove ten hours to theone in twenty seventeen, and he said,
I was willing to do it again, but this one was easier ten
minutes. But they homeschool their kids, and I did think it was very
odd and I have many questions abouthomeschooling now. If this is what is

(13:33):
in the science you know, inthe science class of homeschooling, if this
is how they're doing it, Ihave big questions. Nia and sam Raid
are there from Heath, y'all didn'treally have to drive that far to experience
this. Talk to me, howyou guys are feeling right now? It
is so exciting, like it's unrealnow. You were mentioning your kids are

(13:54):
homeschooled, so these are some teachablemoments for them. Yep, we're having
school out here at Samuel Farm todayand it's so excited. We did a
little demonstration with like my fist andthe coffee cup earlier just to kind of
show them what was happening. Andso, yeah, we're having school outside
and so fun. How are youfeeling looking at all of this? Very
good? Very good? We did. We did a demonstration with my fist

(14:18):
in a coffee cup to show youwhat's gonna happen. What do you think
they have perfect scale models of thesolar system just hanging out at their house
or that elementary school. I gota fist in a coffee cup, I
will say I did. I madea feeble attempt to try to explain this
to a three year old ado thatwent over, well, did you use

(14:41):
a coffee cup? No, Idid use my two fists, and he
just kind of looked at me like, neat, dad, play some base.
Very good, Very good. We'rein Dallas, Texas. Let's go
to Chief Meteorologist Rick Mitchell. Nowhe's up on Reunion Tower outside. Okay,
so he's up at the top,like he's standing on top of it.

(15:03):
They were down broadcasting live near ReunionTower. But he's up on Reunion
Tower or at the one of theplaces it was. I don't know how
it's wired, but he was upthere, and they were you know,
we're gonna hell these things. We'reat ten minutes away though. But traffic,
we were warn traffic is gonna bea bitch. Oh, do not
go downtown traffic. Boy. Theyshow the camera of seventy five. There's

(15:30):
no one on the roads. I'mnoticing I'm starting to see more of the
traffic with their headlights on. Thatis thirty five E coming south towards US
and there's just not much. There'snot much traffic out there. It's a
workday. It is a Monday afternoon. Another thing we're noticing is that a

(15:52):
lot of the buildings in downtown havepeople on them. They were just filling
time, they were just trying toget there. It's amazing, not not.
His commentary wasn't much different than thelittle kids they interviewed a minute ago.
So totality happens. They've got thethere's people on them. They've got

(16:14):
the anchors down there, and SamanthaDavies, the weather lady, is down
there with them. But Rick Mitchell, the chief meteorologist, he's stuck on
Reunion Tower, and uh, youknow, he wants to talk. He
wants to get in the mix.Here there we go. Oh my gosh,

(16:36):
there it is. I'm looking forvenus. I see an airplane.
I bet those people are getting quitea show right of Oh, there's blown
away. Rick Mitchell is a topReunion I'm supposed to is breath taking,
Rick, I'm supposed to talk.I'm supposed to talk. I don't even
know what. I'm just overcome withawesomeness. I mean, this is just

(17:00):
incredible to watch the darkness settle inand the sun set. So those you
who don't think this is a bigyeah. So they're having a hard time
communicating because he's got to talk itover. It's hard. It's so tough.
Yeah, I'm not killing them becausethe coverage is great. I'll watch
pretty much all the coverage of allthe channels yesterday and kind of just blew

(17:21):
through it a little bit too.But it was great. They were all
over the place, reporters all overthe state and in town. It was
awesome. So Samantha Davies has gota story. Her kids were in school,
okay, and she's got a story. But Rick Mitchell's his MIC's on.
I'm not sure if this is theone, but this one's tout.
He's over. If this is theone that he interrupts, it's good though.

(17:41):
I have two kids at school rightnow, a six year old and
an eight year old. They fullyknow what alone Now how quickly it's getting

(18:02):
lighter, So totality is now officiallyover. What fantastic fact? So many
people, Okay, it's so crazy. I know a six year old and
an eight year old, they fullyknow what's learning. They learned about it.
I know he's just losing it becausehe's pumped. If you're a meteorologist,

(18:25):
this is your super Bowl, youknow he was freaking out. But
they're still trying to talk, andthey have left his bike on up on
Reunion Tower. Might hear him?I mean, I remember where I was
in twenty seventy, and that wasonly a partial. I was at the
Parole Museum in Dallas and it waspacked. I hope you've got to see
that a memory. A lot ofpeople have told a difference between a partial

(18:51):
I am so totality and people whoI know about lots of partials and lots
of total solar e clutches. See, there's there's no comparison, even if
you're like a different experience. Hemight have been on the phone with his
wife or one of his kids,who knows, but it just amped up.

(19:11):
He might have been like us andjust talking to himself, maybe just
muttering whatever. It's funny because he'sa weather man, right, yes,
Okay, So he was feeling thepressure this week to clear these clouds.
He said that. He said,it's not like there's anything we could have
done about it. But I amso relieved that the cloud's broke, and
a lot of people were able tosee it because they're a bummer, and

(19:33):
he's got to take it. Theshorts not his fault, isn't it.
Now Let's transfer over to Fox four. Now dan Henry is ripped. Good
god fling it over to Fox fourfor their weather coverage. I recommend it,
Kylie Capps Sometimes in the morning weekends, Dan Henry is just ripped and

(19:55):
he is really into this. Ithought the way he's describing what's going on
here, he used a lot ofthings I didn't know of. There's a
there's beads involved. Wow, Ithought he made it really sexual. If
we get lucky, we might seeyou know, that diamond ring effect maybe
Bailey's beads. Bailey's beads is asthe sunlight is actually passing through the deep

(20:17):
lunar valleys, and were able tosee that, that would be a bonus.
And diamond ring effect is when youliterally have just that tiny moment before
totality and you see that kind ofpinhead of light on the outside of the
sun. So we're blake. Weare just about here right now, we
are one forty right now. Ohoh my gosh, wow, wow,

(20:42):
love it. It's fun. Theseexperts just freaking out of it too,
you know, because dude, Ilike that because it's local news is the
home of sterility, you know.But to hear everyone, whether it be
the bet and Skin show or thator us our admission, all of us
had that moment of all right,what oh MiG yes, yes, yeah,

(21:04):
and that that's what that was,even that crowd going oh yeah,
It's like it's almost like the balldropping in New Year's Eve. Get the
countdown and you see it like it'sgetting closer, It's getting closer. There,
you know what's going to happen.Yes, I think we were all
we didn't fully know. I didnot know. This is a again,
he's just kind of recapping what justhappened. And you know, this is

(21:27):
now the moon's passing through and DanHenry is still Ricky Martin up. You
imagine you were hoping to see something. Did we see it? That was
a solar flare? Actually remarkable,but yeah, now we are we are
actually coming out of totality. ButBlake, that was absolutely incredible. You
know, very few things in lifelive up to the hype and the billing.

(21:52):
This one exceeds it. I mean, this was truly remarkable. You
walk me through the diamond ring.You see it twice, you see it
right before totality, especially in thebackside. Yeah, okay, Kevin,
what beads backside Valley's Yeah, huhyeah, what do you mean? Listen

(22:14):
to how this one finished too.This is back to NBC five. You
don't think this is a big deal? Yeah? Yeah, what? So
many people came can What are youdoing? Dirty things? Kevin? They

(22:37):
did, so many people came toour city. Why didn't you let her
finish your sentence? Then? Oh? Just for time. Well, I
don't like my clips to be toolong. Yeah, okay, it could
have been a half a second longer. There is. I didn't know we
were looking for the diamond ring,but I saw it. The diamond ring.
Yeah, when it comes back Bailey'sbeads. Did you see the little
red dot? So I I guessthat was the commet? No, No,

(23:00):
that's what I thought it was,because right when we were in the
middle of full full sand on thebottom right, I could see like a
little red dot. Oh my god, what is that? But I guess
that was just a little part ofthe sun the very first part. I
don't know. No, I thinkit was just part of the sun coming
out that came out maybe ten secondsbefore the rest. Seeing Venus was cool

(23:22):
because you're so close to it.I mean, Venus looked like a near
star. Yeah, it was bright. Yeah, it was cool. Oh
did we see any pics from thosepeople on airplanes? I saw a couple.
Yeah, it's neat. It's aIt's weirder though than I thought.
It's almost almost kind of like theground view of it. I don't know

(23:42):
if I've seen anything up close thoughwhile you're looking at that, Mikey,
Yeah, I did see, Uh, darkness comes over that's land they I
didn't think about that. There wasa satellite shot or a space station shot
that they did a time lapse showingjust the the black shadow circle as it

(24:04):
moved north. It was really coolhow it just kind of from space,
how that looked just that little blackcircle just kind of blanketed certain parts of
North America. Dude, amazing.It was wonderful, and I you know,
you know, life is like Ithink I stared at the damn thing,
and I looked at the dogs,and that one was I think locked
in forever. I won't remember onething that happened on Tuesday, April ninth,

(24:27):
twenty twenty four. But yesterday,like that one is locked in.
I'll remember that. There's no downmoment. Yeah. And it's funny because
and I know Tim. We hada caller on yesterday. It was kind
of cynical about it and talked abouthow there's no way that's gonna live up
to the hype. I hate allthe hype around it. And I kind
of agreed with parts of what hewas saying, and he's sense like,

(24:48):
dude, I'll come on whenever youguys want, because I will eat so
much crow. But we talked abouthow this is kind of like something that
isn't a historical thing and it'll we'llbe forgotten as soon as it happens.
I will never forget that moment.I will never forget what that felt like
it if you missed it, Ihate that for you because it's so hard

(25:12):
to explain in words. And whenyou hear these news people that you know,
they're professionals, they're paid to beable to convey thoughts and ideas and
in theory, to hear them,you know, grasp for words, to
just reach in to try to comeup with some way to describe what they're

(25:32):
feeling and seeing they're struggling with that. And that's how I felt yesterday and
that's how I feel today trying totalk about it, because it was just
an experience in the moment that youreally don't know how to describe it.
I'm getting a little support for thered dot. Yeah. All I could
look at was the red dot.I saw the red dot if I was

(25:52):
going crazy. Okay, good reddot, red dot for the win.
Well that was an audio recap fromEclipse Fun. I'm still thinking about It's
great. Yeah, oh my god, Vin's can shown the Speakeasier coming up
beginning at ten. But let's reallylock in here. JJ saw what's being
a highly highly praised movie, andshe saw it already. If we get

(26:15):
the early review, it drops onFriday, Civil War, your Birthday's,
your talkbacks, and maybe the musicgame next on nights. I have wonderful
