mind right now. Eric, I heard you chuckling. It sounds
like it sounds like I had a good weekend.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Area.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
I did have a good weekend. It was RESTful, had
a few things, got a few things done, still need
to do. You know, around the house is always something
to do, mm always things that can be done. You
know it's not inside outside mowing, edging, trimming, painting at
something like calking.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
What motivates you to do those things? Deadlines motivate me.
I don't know if it's just this business has rubbed
off on, but when I'm up against it.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
I'm really motivated to look.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Around and see what needs to be done and what
and and I was thinking this weekend, I said, why
I got the time, nothing else to do. I can
really do so and so. And then I thought, and
then again, I can do it tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Well, now that happens to me too. It's like I'll
get to it then tomorrow. Oh man, next week, next weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Remember they used to have those those round pieces of
material called to it's yeah, and they'd say, well, what
is this, Well, this is around to it.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Around to it, around around to it. I'm working on it.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
They were little circular pieces of wood and they had
t u I t round in the middle, around to it.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
You never saw that, I did see?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Oh you did?

Speaker 5 (01:55):
I did?

Speaker 4 (01:56):
I have seen them.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
All do they still exist?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Ah? Probably, just like it was a phase.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
That's true. That pet rocks, Oh yeah, pet rocks. And
what was the other thing, the thing that was like
a chia pet? Remember those cheap put water in it. Yeah,
it would grow that little thing. I don't know if
they exist anymore not.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, they were hideous, articulously stupid things. Yeah, apparently there
was some paste you put on the outside. Yet ceramic
piece of whatever and different shape, yeah, different shapes and
the you know, stuff would grow out of it.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
So well good. I hadn't thought about that for a while.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, there was the chia pet, the pet rocks, the
pet rock around to it.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Oh, there's so many different things.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
They're not as popular as they used to be. But
the wristbands, oh yeah, wristbands, yeah, poastic wristbands.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yeah, that's true. They were popular.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Everybody used to have to have a risk band, and
everybody had a message.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
To put on, something to say on that riskband.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Something to say, something to say.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
So yeah, but see now if you have something to say,
you can just go to social media.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well, we got some stuff to talk about on that today.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
I decided to take a little bit of a break
from you because it's going to be there tomorrow. A
little bit of a brain and some of the things
that people will do to go viral, you guys, and
a lot of times I think it's it's important to
stop and take a good look and a deeper look.
When we say social media influences behaviors and events and

(03:41):
things all around the world, we're not joking. Social media
is a force very to be dealt with. And you
hear it from youth groups people, you know, the police
officers fighting crime. You hear it from parents. You hear
from schools, aute you name it, churches, you know, the
social media aspect, because everybody wants this.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Hey, look at me, and I want to be viral.
I want to go viral. And some people say, well,
what is viral. I'm gonna tell you just what is viral?
What is viral?

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yeah, and you know it's pretty interesting.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
I think I sent you that guy last week. What
was his name, marsh Was it Marshan?

Speaker 4 (04:24):
I think was Marshawn?

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Uh, yeah, Marshawn the Yeah, I can't remember his last name,
but he went by. This guy went viral talking to.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
The Louisiana legislature, I do believe when they were trying
to redraw maps, and I mean he made a plane, you.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Know, he was. He was, he really did.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
He unloaded on them and he was quite where. I
need to find Marshall play that.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
He made a good point. I'll see if I can.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, we we can find Marshawan.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
But but for the but for the most part, you know,
some of the most ridiculous things Marshaan's wasn't ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
It was quite quite useful. And and this is.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
The double edged sword that we talk about that social
media is and has become so many good things, like
we can we can let's hold up Marshan as an
example of the good of going viral, and then I'm
going to share examples of from the ridiculous to the
sublime for going sublime, for going you know, wanting to

(05:23):
go viral. But we also have some good news. I
mean news we didn't even expect. I you know, I
looked at my I looked at my email, and I'm.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Like, what, what did you do that too?

Speaker 4 (05:36):
I did? I thought, Oh that was it?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh I did too.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Well.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
What we're talking about, everybody, is the fact that Geno's
DJ Geno Celebration Acquires. Geno has been steady pumping free
tickets into the community, generating support for this big celebration
acquires that he has going on make first It's a
huge show and he is so excited about it and

(06:06):
he wants the community to get excited about it as well,
and so he was given away tickets.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
I think we've had four ticket giveaways.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
I think we have spread out over it a few months.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, yeah he and he started starting promoting to it
well in advance. Well we thought, you know, okay, well
last week and that was it. There was nothing of wit.
We have what we call ladies and gentlemen A. I
guess it's a website software. It tells us that tells
us when we have tickets to give away, who's giving

(06:38):
them away, how many, uh, and things of that nature
and pretty much what time during your show we'd like
for him to be given away.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Although we use a.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Lot of discretionable don't.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
We use a lot of discretional latitude on that. But
we get it done. We get it done.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
The same thing with you know, promotional information like the.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Cruise US some other things. Those are all loaded into
our to do list for for you for our shows
through the week. Well, lo and behold.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
I looked and it said you know you have a
new huh And looked in there and Gino DJ Geno,
God bless and we love We got to get him
in here.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
Oh yeah, he.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, he has committed to yet another week of giveaways
of these free tickets.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yes, another week, another.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Week of free tickets to his celebration of quiet. Yeah yeah,
And so it.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Goes so guess what sometime during the show today, we
know what time it's said on the computer.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
But we're gonna you know, yeah, well.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
We're gonna do it. We're gonna play We'll just play
it by your.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah, we will just play it by here. Just keep listening.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, just keep that.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
All you have to do is keep listening, and Geno
is is going to be so good to you, so
good all week? The twenty second Friday didn't say eighteen
through the twenty second?

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Okay, yes, yes, I'm gonna look again to make.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Guess what I did too, make sure it wasn't a
two day or a three day. But it seems like
to me on my when I opened up my directions,
it's at eighteen through the twenty second.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
See yep, well.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
I yeah, I see it. Okay, it looks like.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
The twenty second is.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yes, yeah, yeah, you're right, twenty second.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
That is what I thought.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
I thought it. I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I looked at that two or three times.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
So did I I was like it, did I make
a mistake? Maybe I clicked the wrong date?

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Because you know a lot of times when when when
promoters have these events in these shows, they have a
set amount that they are allocated by contract.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
That's true to give away.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
And so Gino is doing a lot of this. I'm
sure this all wasn't contracted. I think he's doing a
lot of this out of the goodness of his heart.
I know he is, because I know Gene know yes,
and so this is just absolutely, you know, fantastic.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
So we are delighted.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
We are truly delight to be able to share with
everyone out there, our listeners, yet another week's worth of
opportunity to get tickets to DJ Geno's celebration of choirs.

Speaker 2 (09:23):

But everybody else better to be.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Ready because he is. He's amazing, Yeah, he is, he
is Cyrus.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
You know, I got my uh switching gears here just
a little bit. And I'm glad you reminded me of
this story because this was one that I saw last
week that I wanted to mention as well. But got
my utility bill and it makes no sense.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
It makes no sense. Well, last and then you know,
as had the nerve to send me an energy savings kid.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Oh really yeah, oh so you've saved energy? Right.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Well, here's the thing they couldn't give me the Okay,
let me let me back up.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
First of all, I got my ae S bill.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
The bill before was not that much, you know, it
wasn't even one hundred dollars. Oh, this bill is one
hundred and thirty one dollars or whatever. And it's like
I'm using I've used even less electricity because they haven't
had to do it. You know, we haven't had to
run air or heat. It's just been a couple of
you know, ceiling fans, I guess.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
And I'm like, what in the world. How it's just arbitrary,
I think so.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
And the thing, you pick a number, they don't. No
one has to come out and read meters anymore. Nope,
it's all done remotely.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, computers do it.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
And I have a family member just talked to over
the weekend. Their bill originally was one thousand dollars a
couple of months in a row. They got it all paid.
It's two hundred. Now what two hundred dollars? And I'm like, well, really,
I don't. I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
What do they have a large home?

Speaker 4 (12:57):
They have a two story at home. It is totally
a lie. Oh that may be a big part of it,
of course.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Well see here's my thing. My house isn't. Why would
my my electricity bill I have. I have partial gas
and partial heat. I don't have a total electric.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
That's like the same thing yeah with us.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, so why anyway, but.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
This may be why in this story.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
That time, Yeah, it could be. Well.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
It says that officials and lawmakers in at least six
states are trying to block rate increases proposed by utilities
due to rising electricity bills. Arizona Attorney General Chris Mays
is challenging utility rate increase request in his state.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
UH Indiana, Maryland.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania are also taking steps
to block utility rate increases. The voracious energy demands of
AI data centers have driven up electric prices in some
regions and launched a money making energy sector construction boom.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Now you see the first part of that, the voracious
energy demands. They didn't say anything about that with the AI.
It's like AI is going to be great, It'll be
great for your neighborhood, it will be great for you.
Nothing about how much energy it's going to use.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
None, nothing, And you know that that was part of
the well, not part of it. That that was well,
one of the many arguments that they were making in
you know, in the Councilman Gibson's district, Martin Dale, Brightwood,
and it was that well and the mayor and I
guess everybody else that whoever, well Metro Block says that

(14:39):
that's not going to be the case.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Okay, good enough, Yeah, that's that's good works.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, well that's what they said.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
I said, so what we accept that, and we'll we'll.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Put a million, we'll put two million dollars into the community.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
And of course the construction thing they mentioned here is
not going to be long term. It won't be going
on you know, years and years and years only when
it's finished. And after that that's done. That part of
it's over.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, yeah, part is over.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
So yeah, And anyway, consumer advocates have argued that utility
should shop for the lowest cost investor cash instead of
regulators setting returns above what the market might require. Critics
of utility investment returns argue that they contribute to rising

(15:23):
okay for me until ten percent of the typical customer
bills and exit. So we're all paying, you know, you,
me and your family, and we're all paying for something
we're not using.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
That's true, we're not using.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
But this this era of just do what you want
to do and let somebody else pay for it is getting.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Out of hand.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
It is, it really is.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
So I'm glad that these states, and these are both
democratic and Republican led states. If I'm not mistaken, I
know Maryland, let's see Indiana's Republican Maryland is Democrat.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Uh, New York Pencil. Yeah, bipartisans.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
I hope they succeed with this really well. I hope
they do, because it's it's out of hand. It's it
just doesn't make any sense to you keep raising rates,
raising rates, raising rates, and then you do the AI
thing and raise rates even more. But you didn't say
anything about that was going to happen. Plus, not to
mention the water that these data centers take will be taking.

(16:28):
That's been sort of pushed aside a lot of discussion. Yep,
nothing's been said about that.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
The investment returns that utilities get from uh aren't the
reason that but researchers suggest their contributing factor aren't the
sole reason. But they get a lot I'm reading here
through a lot of other parts targeting utility invests utility.

(16:55):
It's just that includes investment in modernization, renewable energies.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, are renewable energy certainly.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
So it's going to be beneficial to us in the future.
That's their idea, right, it's down the road. Oh that's
not what they've said, but that's just me sarcastically. Oh,
you're going to love this and the future is going
to be great. Yeah, AI is used. We use it
for some things. I guess with our phones there's some
AI connections based on how things work, and that's fine.
But as I said all along when this we were

(17:25):
talking about this early on in the year with Martindale
Brightwood and the whole data sent of thing there, tell
us the whole story, give us everything, the pros and
the cons. Don't just oh, it's going to be good,
it's great, wonderful. You know, there's always got to be
a downside to something like that. Tell us how much
water it's going to take, how much energy is going
to take, how much our electric bills are going to increase. Oh,

(17:48):
that's not going to happen. But tell us the truth.
Just tell us the truth. But I think sometimes when
you withhold the truth, that knowing that people are going
to disagree, that's why you don't say anything. You kind
of leave those things out. It's like, hey, buy this car.
It's great, it's got it's got fifty thousand miles on it,
but I didn't talk about the rust underneath, and the

(18:10):
two accidents has been in that's been repared, but hey,
fifty thousand dollars for a car that's just our fifty
thousand miles, for a car that's just a couple of
years old, and it's been in three accidents, rust underneath.
It's been fixed and repared, But go ahead and buy it.
That's kind of how I feel about.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, that's true, don't. I don't disagree with you.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
I mean, I'm agreed on all points, all points, and
so I'm glad states are fighting back. I'm glad that
the you know, consumers are putting a little fire under
their feet should to fight back. They should because this
is absolutely ridiculous. There is no way rate payers should
be responsible. But what I was saying about my house

(18:54):
several years ago, I got that home energy assessment thing
from it was IPL at the time, and they put
in a smart thermostat, changed all the light bulbs out,
put all kinds of They were trying to get me
to get rid of my refrigerator, and get rid of it.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
They were going to replace it with a new one.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Well they were going to replace it, but a new.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
One of their choice, and so a white one that
looked like a little dorm refrigerator was not going to
be would not work in my kitchen. No no, and
I told him, I said, well, I know it's not
the most energy efficient, but I will. But I guess
some people did take that deal. I mean it was
when they were offering great, great things. So then they

(19:38):
wanted to do another one under AEES and they said, well,
we're giving away for the upgraded energy assessments, We're giving
away home air purifiers. And I think they were with
like about two or three hundred dollars. You know, if
you get the assessment home are So I got the
assessment and the home air pure fire, well, not eligible

(20:00):
because you recently had so and so, Oh, we're going
to send you a kit.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
And in that kid, it was a.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
A faucet thing, majig you know you put you know,
ferrator right, yeah, and then it was a shower thing
I magig that they gave me, and they gave.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Me power strip yeah, power strip okay.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
And it was something else in there. But that's that's
what I was. I wasn't eligible for the even though
I took the second assessment I were, I was not
eligible for the big prize because that was just given
to the people who at first time assessment. But you
know the stuff that you know, everything that they were
talking about. I said, that's already done. You all did that.

(20:44):
You already, you already did that. So technically my house
is energy what do you call it? I guess energy compliant.
And yet and still the utility bills are all.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Over the map.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
See that doesn't make any sense. It's like, how can
that be? It's it's it's there. But now you're saying, well,
you know we're going to charge a little more from this.
You left the light on. That's what it is. Your
light was on a little too long. And maybe if
you you wash clothes, you washed them a little too long.
And I'm being sorry, Cass. You know that's what it

(21:18):
almost seems like. It's like shorter showers.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, keep your keep it. When it's hot, burn up,
you know, burn up eighty.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
When it's cold, you wait till light sickles form on, right,
and you know that's what that's what you're supposed to do,
and you might get a ten dollars reduction in your
But I think in these computers, in the minds of
these computers, it's a pre set. It's preset regardless of
what you do. I think, So it's not usage factored.
It's not usage based, Eric, It can't be.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
Because it used to be back in the day. You know,
when they would come out to your house, water company,
light company, you'd see where they came out, and then
if it was estimated, you'd see it was estimated. Whereas
now it's all done remotely. But why is it that
I can't get an accurate amount in my bill? Why
is it all over the place when I know I'm
doing these things to save energy. I'm in a pretty

(22:12):
much an efficient energy efficient home, but still the rates
are up and down. What's that about?

Speaker 2 (22:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
They can't explain that.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
No, And that's part of the reason I refuse to
go on there. What they call it their budget, you know,
where you have the same payment every month. I did
it with the with the gas because it was gas,
water and sewage and it made sense.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Uh And and that does make sense.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
And they're they're more consistent, yeah than the electricity.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah, we're on that gas, gas.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Water, gas water, sewage.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
And even the electric where we live. And it's pretty
reasonable so far. Really, I don't say too loudly, but
it's pretty reasonable so far.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Okay, okay, Well, speaking of reasonable, would you jump into
a monkey's cage at the zoo to go to get
a picture to go viral. No oh, I'm gonna tell
y'all about we want to take a quick jump into
this is Yeah, we I still want to.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
I'm gonna give y'all a good example.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
This is this is what we talk about when we
talk about social media and going viral. Three one seven
four eight zero thirteen ten. Three one seven four eight
zero thirteen ten. We have examples for you. We have
good ones that have gone viral and we.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Did you see that?

Speaker 4 (23:32):
I just I'm picturing that. He's got me laughing. I mean,
jump into a monkey's cage.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
And then had the nerve to cry foul when they
got arrested. You really, yes, honey, I.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
Can't hear that one.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
All right, we'll be back right after this.

of the more ridiculous ones. I don't I'm gonna see

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Find uh oh, Marshan, I'm gonna see if I can

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Oh you got it?

Speaker 4 (24:49):
I think I found.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Okay, there there is a clip. I think it's about
two or three minutes that he was talking.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
If I remember hearing it? When you send it to
uh huh uh.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
I send it to you. I wonder how I said.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Let's see. I found a clip here. I don't know
how long this, but I do have this.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
It's on YouTube.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
YouTube.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Is him sitting there at the table with the red
hat on?

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Yeah, that's it. That's it. Was a language It was
language free, wasn't it.

Speaker 6 (25:15):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah, yeah, he did not.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
He was very okay. So here here's the story. Here's
the story.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Cac cock ca Okay, here we go.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Two American nationals were arrested in Japan for entering the
monkey enclosure at the Ichikawa City Zoo. One man climbed
over a fence and dropped into the dry moat surrounding
the monkey exhibit, while the other man filmed him.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Got it okay.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
The man did not come close to the animals, as
they were quickly apprehended by zoo officials officials on the job.
The suspects face charges of obstruction of business, which they
deny and initially lied to police about their identities. Punch,
the baby macoq or macaque mccock or mcaque.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Never heard of it, Never heard of a macoq.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
The baby maccock at the zoo gained viral fame earlier
this year, attracting a surge of visitors and a devoted
fan base online. So Punch was doing the dogone thing okay,
Punch was getting the views and the likes, and then
Punch had gone viral.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
So these two Americans go to this zoo City zoo in.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Japan, find Punch and try to videotape themselves inside Punch's
place where he lives, probably trying to create a video
to which they got to go viral too, and initially
lied to zoo officials about their identities and everything else.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Aren't you proud to be in.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
A Oh yeah, lied about all of that and went in.
But why, I mean monkeys, they that's a wild animal.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Monkey is a wy They are not. They're not the
no on on on Tarzan, nothing like that. Michael Jackson's
what was his uh.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Bubble bubble that was a different situation.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
But yeah, but they're not. They're not meant to be
the wild animals. They're not meant to be pets.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Well they're not, so why would you because there have
been stories where people have done that before, gotten into
cages with monkeys, and it didn't end so well.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yeah, remember that story you were telling me. I remembered
that that was that was almost tragic. It was, well,
it was tragic for the animal.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
But yeah, remind Yeah, the a woman had a gorilla
that she had raised from uh little baby, and uh, well,
one day I guess she had a friend come by
and the gorilla attacked the woman master face that. I
don't know whether she survived or not. My thought was,
why would you have a gorilla as a pet? I mean,

(28:07):
it's just there. It doesn't make any sense because it's
not meant to be a pet. It's a wild animal,
full size, full size, and she, well, I raised it
from a baby. That doesn't matter. It's the instinct is
it's an animal.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
It's why it would feel threatened or intimidated. And the
friend probably didn't know how to approach. She probably true,
it was an animal.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
An animal exactly.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
And what do you want an ape in your house
or anyone?

Speaker 4 (28:33):
Well, you know there are people that have snakes as pets.
I've seen stories on that a lot of company, And
I'm like, why would you want to have it? It
doesn't do anything. No, you can't hear it, you don't
know where it is. But what would you do if
you're in bed and appears on your bed above you
one night your pet snake ole constrictor right, and some
people have I don't know, Tina, that's.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Weird, it is and it defies logic.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
But these two Americans going to First of all, there
they disrespected the country absolutely, that you're a guest in
someone else's country. And I mean, I I don't know
if you've ever been on vacation and out of out
of the country and watched some of your fellow Americans

(29:20):
behave I have I have to, and it has been
I mean, I wanted to drop my head. It's like,
come on, don't act like that. I mean, the behavior
that that sometimes Americans take to foreign countries, thinking that
every place is just like here is appalling at times.

Speaker 7 (29:39):
It is.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
I've seen some really really bad examples. So I'm not
surprised that these these two American nationals, as they say,
went to Japan. I'm not surprised they lied, because what America,
America knows anything about liars.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Oh no, don't any.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
We have no examples of anybody that ever lies, not
in America, in America, not even from the top down.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
No, no lies.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
So we don't imagination, We don't lie.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah, it's your lion eyes and lion.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
You're seeing it, you're hearing it. It's not telling you
the truth. That's your imagination gas lighting.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
So yeah, yeah, so there was there was that. Now
that's that's okay, punch. That was good that whatever Punch did,
whatever Punch did and went viral.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Good for punch.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
Punch is in his own and I mean that that's
not even counting or not even approaching or talking about
the worldwide effort, the pitas of the world that feel
like zoos are inhumane, horse racing is in and all
the other things. I mean that that's a whole nother story.
It is whole other side.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
But this, it's just you just were being a rude
house guest at the very very least.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
I agree. It's like, why would you. Of course they
wouldn't do it here because they know what would happen.
It's like they couldn't most likely couldn't get away with
it here in the States. So let's go overseas and
go there, go to Japan and do it there. But
they should be thankful the monkey didn't do something else.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Well, they should be thankful that the zoo authorities got
to them before they could get to any animals.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
It sounds like they acted very very quickly, which is good.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
That's a good thing.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
It's a thing.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Now, who do you have, Marshaan? Let me see here,
I didn't have any language.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Let me see if I can play him. I'm gonna
this is off the fly.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Let me see if I have see what happens.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
I've got him here. Let me so far, so good?
Let me click on and see what happens.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Okay, all right?

Speaker 8 (31:40):
Who we letting our people die any ron based on
false pretense that Tauty gabtt and Joe can't say it
ain't real. Y'all okay with all that? So I'm positive
y'all gonna be okay with the match.

Speaker 9 (31:53):
But the beautiful thing is the children that y'all have made,
and the people that's younger than y'all don't support me,
none of this racism that y'all want. The Maga Party
is the last breath of the Confederacy, and I'll be
happy to see millennials in gen c Bury.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Y'all. There will be no more of your party.

Speaker 9 (32:12):
The midterms gonna come, y'all gonna get wiped out.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
Trump gonna get dragged out.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Of the White House.

Speaker 8 (32:17):
And I'm gonna love every second of it, because y'all
loved every second of the suffering that he calls to
everybody in this country and worldwide.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
We starve in Cuba, we.

Speaker 8 (32:29):
Bomb Nigeria, We hold in Zimbabwe and Zambia hostage for
their minerals. We don't want to give them aid support.

Speaker 9 (32:40):
The pro life is that say all life is special, y'all, letting.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Kids die of AIDS.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
What part of your Bible say that point out the scripture?

Speaker 8 (32:52):
I think everybody would love to see it, and we
would love to see y'all in the midterms.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Yeah, well, that is an example of a video content
both all of the above that went viral, meaning thousands
and thousands, millions of views, millions million, And that's what everybody.
Everybody wants to go viral when you get hundreds of

(33:18):
thousands up to millions of views, just like Punch the
Monkey probably got hundreds of thousands or millions of views,
Marshaan got hundreds of thousands upwards of I haven't even
checked what Marshan's numbers are, but to refresh your memory, Marshan,
a Louisiana resident identified by that red hat reading that

(33:39):
Trump was wrong about everything. You know the you know
he wore a Trump like hat that usually says make
America great again. Marshan's hat said Trump was wrong about everything,
and he wore that hat as he conducted his impassioned
speech to the Louisiana State Senate. It was during a
redistricting hearing. He heavily criticized Republican lawmakers for their legislative

(34:04):
maps condemning the state's political direction. So you know, there
it was. And that's one of the good examples of.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Going viral. So you see the good with the bad.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
I mean, I'm sure Punch the Monkey was entertaining, but
and there are some things that are entertaining these clowns
trying to get in to become viral themselves. I you know,
the the thirst, the the hunger for that attention online
is it. You know, it can result in criminal you know,

(34:41):
it becomes.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Criminal at times.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
It does.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
As we know it became criminal with poor Punch the
Monkey because these they they were willing to break the
law to get that attention.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
And in so many other ways too, where you know,
people have been harmed or killed as a result of
some of the stuff. Oh yeah, and children, especially on
social media on social media.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
But but Marshawn he made a plane, made it real
and made all of the national the news shows and everything,
and that's that's part of going viral.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
And there were no injuries from his statement that he made,
non't want.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Injury harm, Nobody got arrested. There nothing he said or
did was illegal, not at all.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
So you can see the contrast, the very clear contrast
between well, here, let me give you another example. Give
you another example while I'm here's another one that resulted
somebody trying to go viral and got arrested. A woman

(35:54):
fired from a Massachusetts McDonald's over a viral video showing
her stuffing French fries in her mouth and then putting
them back.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
In the box.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Oh oh, putting them back in the box is going
to face criminal charges. Oh now, that's according to Massachusetts Southbridge,
Massachusetts Police. The employee was featured in stomach churning footage
grabbing a handful of fries at the Southbridge restaurant, shoving

(36:24):
them in her mouth into her while a coworker laughed
behind her in the kitchen. After the video, Yeah was laughing.
After the video went viral, Southbridge Police set investigators and
officials from the Board of Health were reviewing the incident
to determine the food was so, if the food was
served to a customer, and to identify any affected individuals.

(36:47):
The owners of the restaurant issued a statement condemning the
actions of the individuals and the video, stating that they
are no longer employed by the organization. Well, honey, look here.
Lack of him deployment is the least of your problems.
You don't caught a case, oh absolutely, you don't define
trying to go viral. Is anybody getting this when we

(37:11):
say who.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
The other thing is there's money.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
In well there's money, yeah, yeah, but there and they
knew their camera is in the restaurant. I suppose.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
No camera in the restaurant was as important as the
one video that that that they wanted to put on.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
And this is a thing that just confused, it just
confounds me. It's just beyond belief. You're doing something.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
So so so very stupid, not to mention illegal, and
you can't wait to not only video tabe, but but
you can't wait.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
To show everybody. Yeah, that's where we are.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Told me once that if somebody was stabbing you downtown
on Monument Circle, there'd be somebody video table that's just
before there'd be somebody trying to pull them.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
That's true. We've seen it all over.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
The sailing off of you.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
Yeah, seen people being beaten and people are videotaping kids fighting.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
But you know what, but the one good example of
that was George Floyd.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Now, there were there were people that tried to intervene
and they could not because the police man standing there
with guns and women. I don't know, there may be
but anyway, officers with guns, yeah, would not allowed. They dared,
and so they used the only weapon they had, which
was the camera, which was was phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
I mean it created so in that instance.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
Yeah, but it's a good thing in that instance.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Yeah, but there wasn't there was an attempt to try
to help him, true, But.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
In others it's just people want to go viral and
they're not getting help.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
This person whose idea was to start putting cameras on
phones and when did that start? Oh, I have to
research that cameras first started going.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
Yeah, it's been well, let's see flip phones. They had
cam camera a little different than what we have now.
There were cameras on some flip phones. But you couldn't
go viral, I don't think at that time. And it's good,
as you said, in the case of the George Floyd
situation and others like that, but in other cases, so

(39:18):
many other cases, going viral just to be going viral,
just to get the likes, to get the attention, and
I guess try to make money. From it someone.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Else, it says.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
The first commercial camera phone was the Kaya Sarah Visual
Phone VP two ten, released in Japan in May of
nineteen ninety nine. However, the breakthrough for mass market photo
messaging came in November twenty two thousand November of two thousand,
two thousand, with the release of the Sharp JSHO four,

(39:48):
which featured a zero point one point one megapixel camera.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
We've come a long way since then.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Now, it says.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
For context, the first real pro poto type camera phone
moment occurred earlier in June. Earlier in nineteen ninety seven,
when rigged a digital camera to a mobile phone to
instantly share the very first photo of his newborn daughter.
So let's just safely say around between nineteen ninety seven

(40:19):
and two thousand and look at how it has exploded.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
It has tremendously.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
People buy phones now for the cameras.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
They do exactly more than for the phone.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
I wonder how that's impacted or affected cameras sales.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
That's a good question. There's still camera stores around that
do work on cameras. They sell cameras as cam quarters,
that kind of thing, And I often wonder that too.
How it's affected sales for them because cameras have had
to kind of step up to be able to do
the video thing as well. Yeah, yeah, but there are
those who want just the regular good old camera.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Indeed three one seven, four eight zero thirteen ten three
one seven four eight zero thirteen ten one zero thirteen ten.
The other thing we did not do right off the top, Eric,
and we should. We should remember actually, especially now, the
weather because we're probably going to get some alerts.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
There's a lot of red on the DP or oh.

Speaker 4 (41:15):
Yeah, borrowing James weathermen. Yeah, we have a severe thunderstorm watch.
It's an effect right now for all of central Indiana
until six o'clock tonight. Showers and thunderstorms likely, then showers
and a possible thunderstorm after five. Some of the storms
could be severe. High about eighty five before we're all done,
and then tonight some showers and thunderstorms possible before midnight,

(41:40):
then partly cloudy or tomorrow looks like a high of
eighty six, mostly sunny, then storms in the afternoon. But
for today it is a severe thunderstorm watch, which means
conditions are pretty much ripe. We could see some pretty
intense storms.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Yeah, come through today.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Yeah, it looks like they're just out on the on
the edge of the city, moving from the west to
the east, and a lot of red in court you
know a lot of times, and I'm just looking at
one particular that different radars are coated differently, But the
red in the middle, from what I've been taught, is
usually turbulence.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Oh I have I remember, yeah, learning about that.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
And those could very quickly turn into a tornadic activity,
but not to And I'm not a weather forecaster and
I'm not saying any they're just right now saying strong
storm watch.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
I'm surprised it's not a warning though.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
It's a watch. Still it hasn't updated. We're still at
eighty two at the airport.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
Yes, my daughter's class, she's a teacher. They had their
end of school year field trip today and they had
to cut they had to cut it very short because
you know, storms moving in. Keeping the kids safe by
all means.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
You to keep the kids safe.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
So there was that three one seven four eight zero
thirteen ten three one seven for eight zero thirteen ten.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Lines are open.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
Uh, but just uh, you know, one of the things,
like I said, I wanted to get off.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
My chest at the top of the show is just viral.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
And and you know, I have to say that the
jury is still out in terms of how I feel
about social media. You know, I have to say I
use it a lot too for information, but I I'm
not a big engagement person.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
Neither am I Yeah, I use it for information quite yeah,
researching things of that nature, but I don't I don't
post much of anything. To be honest, Well, I.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
Mean this, this may sound a little a little crazy,
but I found that as I was as I was,
you know, engaging a lot more than what I do now.
Sometimes I do now just because it's the right thing
to do and we're support you know, it's.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Important to do that.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
But like if you do it at every event and
everything that you go to, you know, you turn around
for whatever, you know, you find yourself more engaged with
your phone than you are with the event and what's.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Happening around you.

Speaker 3 (44:17):
I agree, And I always tell you know, people, if
you go out to dinner, watch what you watch how
people are relating at their dinner tables while they're waiting
on their drinks, the water, the bread or whatever to arrive.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Watch how people are communicating.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
That's true. Does that not scare It's going to be
pretty quiet in some cases, not much communication at all. Yeah,
I've seen it's changed over the last would you say,
quite a bit the last eight ten years. You know,
ten years ago, you could have a table full of
people out to dinner and you'd hear conversation. Yeah. Now

(44:55):
it's silence. Everybody's on their phone. And I've even seen
people in church on their phones and in some cases
in church, well maybe they're taking maybe they're taking notes. Okay,
they're taking notes, but I have to admit that I
am scripture. Yeah, but I've been able to see that
some people aren't. They're just playing games and you know,

(45:19):
texting other people in church during service. I've seen that.
But the phone is it's taken a lot of attention
away from personal relationships, you know, like conversation you and
I are having You and I are having conversation now,
but people don't talk talk about I saw something Tina,

(45:42):
was it last year a year before where it said,
uh was it gen z gen x that if you
were going to call them, you should text first before
you call because they won't answer if you Maybe it
was in twenty twenty four if you don't. If you
just call, you don't text first general and they may
not they may not answer. And I've had some people say, yeah,

(46:05):
that's correct. You need you need to text me before
you call. Otherwise, if you just call me, you say
gen Z. I think it's gen.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Z nineteen ninety seven to twenty twelve.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
I think I think it's gen Z.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
So there's are the twenty something.

Speaker 4 (46:21):
Yeah, I saw that. It was in twenty late twenty four.
When I saw that, I'm like, oh, really, so don't
call me. Text me first to let me know you're
going to call us. I can prepare for pop.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Well, you know someone answered It's there are no seriously,
there are some leadership and workshops that are out there
that are advising people not to you know, it's not
in terms of business practices. If you call, if you
want to call a you call somebody, don't necessarily ask

(46:56):
them to call you back because you're asking for more work.
Do you You're more effective sending an email because people
are spending more time on their emails than they are
on their phones, and if they have to pick up
the phone, answer it and take the message and then
turn around and call you back you're asking them to
do work, to do more work than the work it

(47:19):
takes to And I was thinking, I'm like, you know
who got paid what consultant got paid a whole lot
of money to come up with that. And I'm not
saying that it's incorrect, because in a lot of ways
it probably is true.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
Because when you say, hey, give me a call back, Well,
if the majority of your work at your.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
Desk or what have you is email and sometimes even
text messaging, you're not you know, it's not a call
and talk type of world anymore.

Speaker 4 (47:48):
That's true, very true.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Now, if you.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
Do leave a message, don't ask that person to do
something for you. Tell that person just want to let
you know. I'm trying to get a hold of you.
I'll call you back. If you say, can you give
me a callback? You're asking that person too. Now this
has been This is not I'm not saying that this
is right or whatever. I'm just saying this is what
is being taught, and this is the perspective that this

(48:13):
is how they're looking at it.

Speaker 4 (48:16):
Yeah, text or email rather as opposed to calling.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
Back people don't pick up the phone.

Speaker 4 (48:24):
But then it can be misinterpreted in so many ways
when people write things, you know, whereas if you're hearing
someone's voice, well yeah it can be you know what
they mean, but it can be written and be misinterpreted,
which is sometimes starts beef with people. What did you
mean when you said that?

Speaker 2 (48:42):
I didn't mean that.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
I didn't say that, I didn't understand it. Or texting
I didn't understand you know. So it is it's like
I think Indiana has what is it? You can text
for help. It's nine to one one or something like that.
I forget what it's called. You can text to get
help if you can't talk, but they say nine to
one to one is best to get the help. And

(49:05):
that way you can describe where you are what's going on,
much better than if you are texting it. If you're
in a hurry, you can misspell, you could miss whatever,
and people can miscunscrew what you're trying to say. But yeah,
I guess in a sense, well it's necessary in a
business sense email, but it is chance. Yeah, they have Tina.

(49:29):
I I just got an update on the weather. Okay,
severe is thunderstorm warning now for northern Morgan County, northwestern
Johnson County, Hendricks County, here in central Indiana, also south
eastern Boone, western Marion County, and Hamilton County southwestern Hamilton

(49:52):
until two forty five. Severe thunderstorm warning. Storms are located
along the line you mentioned ten miles northeast of Greencastle
to about eight miles north of Spencer, moving northeast at
about forty five miles per hour. The hazard is sixty
mile an hour wind gust. That's what the radar indicated.

(50:13):
So we have a severe thunderstorm warning which includes Indianapolis,
Marion County, Morgan County, parts of northern Morgan County, northwestern
Johnson Hendricks County, and also southeastern Boone County in Hamilton
course until two forty five, Yes afternoon, okay.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
YEP three eight zero thirteen ten three one seven four
eight zero thirteen ten. Lines are open. We'll take your
calls for whatever may be on your mind. Of a
lot of developments over the weekend, a lot of national, international,
local news right now.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
The race, I guess is big. Yeah, that's a big
one of the things. A big one.

Speaker 3 (50:59):
Uh, there is, I guess the curfew, Uh, the stricter
curfew from from i MPD. Uh they're doing that now,
working it out and I guess there haven't been any
issues with that, and it I think the.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Prom season seems to be going okay. Usually we have
oh yeah, the prom season.

Speaker 4 (51:24):
Yeah, I almost forgot about that.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Yeah did you.

Speaker 4 (51:27):
It's been a long time.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
It has been a much long time for me. But
it was fun that I noticed some people in our
neighborhood were having prom.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
Parties and oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
Prom celebrations and things that one a couple of weeks
ago went tragically wrong. But uh and after prom party,
you know, family had rented a rented a home and
the mother you know, got shot and killed. And yeah,
it's like it's just awful beyond all. So I hope
that that case is being expedient. I did, because with

(52:01):
that many people there, somebody knows something.

Speaker 4 (52:05):
And again, as we were saying earlier, cameras, camera phones
had to be all over the place, so someone had
to see something or record something.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Yeah, what are those what are those outdoor cameras called? Again?

Speaker 4 (52:18):
M oh yeah, okay, mine is the driveway camp. That's
what I call them, driveway cam and door cam for
the front.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
No, no, no, I mean to talk about the public streets.

Speaker 4 (52:29):
Oh they call them sometimes they're called Flock cameras. Okay,
that's a company that makes them. Flock. Now, they're different places.
You'll see those IMPD has cameras too that they use.
I can't think of the proper name right now, but
Flock is one company that makes some. There are the
companies that make some of them. The flock cameras tend

(52:51):
to look a little inconspicuous on a pole with just
a single what looks like a solar panel, and the
camera's very small, and you wouldn't see it until well,
you just wouldn't see it unless you know it was there.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Gone are the days.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
Gone are the days great big cameras. Yeah, I'm not
talking to even about privacy.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
I'm just wow.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
Yeah, these cameras are so small. Some are black, some
are silver, different colors. You'll see them on the Interstate.
I've seen them on the Interstate off ramps, on ramps.
They're there. You just don't see them. They see you.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
But weather is the concern right now, and I want
everybody to stay safe there.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
It has escalated from a watch to a warning.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
Yes, a very impressive line of strong storms looks like
it's moving through, soon to be moving through the area,
So please take heat and understand that it's getting ready
to get ugly out there for a few You know.
The good thing about storms, if they're silver lining, they don't.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
They always moved that.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
I feel like they don't last long. They moved through,
and that's pretty much what.

Speaker 4 (54:02):
That's true, and then the sun can come out later.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
It can be amazine a lot in Florida.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
Oh yeah, Florida has a lot of that.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
I got caught in one of I was out playing
golf and it out of nowhere, I mean in the
middle of the golf course, out of the nowhere I was.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
I was drenched. Really, there was nowhere you're going to.

Speaker 4 (54:20):
Go, Well, that's true, you're out there.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
You can't go there, am I mean, I just kept
walking to toward some shelter or what have you.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
But by then I was liquid, you know, I was
just and as soon as it as quickly as it appeared,
it ended.

Speaker 4 (54:37):
That's like the islands, any of the I've been to
many islands, uh huh, for cruises, it'll rain like that
sometimes down torrential. Twenty thirty minutes after that, fifteen minutes
later is as dry as can be. Dry suns there
you have no clue there was a.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
Storm, no, none whatsoever. I had. I had heard about it,
but until it hit.

Speaker 3 (54:56):
Me, I'm like, oh, okay, this is how it goes
into the golf game.

Speaker 4 (55:01):
The golf game. Did you come out with a good score?
Can you remember?

Speaker 2 (55:06):
I were able to remember.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
I just remember the water I had to dry out,
you know, could you have to dry your bag?

Speaker 2 (55:13):
And you just had to know? It was just a mess.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
So how was I doing up to that point? I'd
have to read I.

Speaker 4 (55:20):
Don't know, go back and check it out and see.

Speaker 3 (56:44):
And again, in the interest of public safety, want to
remind you there are some severe thunderstorms moving into the area,
prompting National Weather Service to issue severe thunderstorm warnings Erica.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Any updates from.

Speaker 4 (56:56):
That so far is still the same. Northern Morgan County,
northwestern Johnson County, all of Marion County under this morning, Indianapolis,
southwestern Hamilton County. And let's see that I forget Boone County,
southeastern Boone County until two forty five severe a thunderstorm morning.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Yeah it's two oh four, so that gives you an idea.
We talked.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
I was mentioning it. They do move pretty quickly. They
do pretty quickly, but boy can they do They can.

Speaker 4 (57:26):
Do some dam some damage while moving through. It's eighty
two still at the airport. It says here, I.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
Noticed it was unusually warm. When when did you notice it?
I noticed in the spring it's cool and then it
warms to the temperature.

Speaker 4 (57:40):
But this morning it was just fuck, it was exactly well,
it's dropped to eighty one down there, Okay, so I
guess it's it must be raining or about to rain.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
Bringing the temperature down.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
So this is interesting. Marjorie Taylor Green, you know, she's
no longer in Congress and former MAGA, one of Trump's
biggest supporters.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Is she sounding an alarm now?

Speaker 5 (58:05):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (58:06):
And she is warning of revolution in America? Really, that's
what she says.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
Says here Marjorie Taylor Green warns of a potential political
revolution in America if President Trump deploys American soldiers in Iran.
Green has been vocal in her opposition to the US
war against Iran, criticizing Trump's decision to launch air strikes
last June. Trump Trump recently issued a warning to Iran,

(58:38):
stating that the clock is ticking is peace negotiations between
the US and Iran style. What I want to know
is what leverage does he have over these people?

Speaker 2 (58:49):
He doesn't have. What gives him the what gives him.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
The idea that they haven't listened to a thing? Nothing, nothing,
because they know that they have the upper hand by
controlling that narrow passage where the economies of a lot
of a lot of countries are dependent.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
They're controlling it. He can't do it.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
I mean, well, you better, you better behave It's like
a parent. It keeps telling a child no seriously. It's
like I'm gonna I'm giving you one last morning. Okay,
I'm gonna count to ten, all right, now, i'm gonna
count to twenty. Now i'm gonna count to thirty.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
You better. He doesn't have anything. He's got nothing.

Speaker 4 (59:27):
That reminds me you said that. I remember this is
a true story. I was in the stores a long
time ago. This parent said to their child, stop doing
that whatever they were doing. I told you to stop that. Okay, one,
I told you to stop. They started counting two. Then
the child goes three. I was like, you gotta get

(59:48):
and nothing happened. Nothing happened like that's a bad your child.
You go one, two and the child goes three and nothing.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
That's kind of like this with absolutely absolutely so anyway,
it said that she expressed disappointment in his shift from
his campaign.

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
Promises of no more foreign wars and no more regime change.
She's distanced herself from Trump over various domestic and foreign
policy issues, including his support for Israel during the war
in Gaza and his handling.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
A big tech regulation.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
You know, Okay, these people that were the biggest Trump
supporters you could ever possibly imagine now shifting gears.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
I don't know that I trust that.

Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
You know, you don't think it's really real that they're
switching gears.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
I think it's all calculated. Everything is calculated when it
comes to politics. I think it's calculated in terms of
what the calculus is. I don't know. I don't know,
but I just have a hard time believing that anybody
that was that all in for him and everything he

(01:01:03):
said and the I mean, he's no less mean than
when she was. Seriously, he's no less racist. Yeah so
he you know, he's just what's the difference is something
that didn't benefit her or something she did not agree with?

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
I think a lot, a lot of manga magates are
not happy because I think some people thought, you know,
being maga, they might be, well, these things he's doing
won't affect us, that's gonna affect everybody else. But the
gas prices, the food prices, all of this, the price
of everything has gone up, and it's affecting them just

(01:01:38):
like it's affecting you and me and everybody else.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
Yeah, but will they voted that way?

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
See?

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
This is this is my question.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
People are gonna squirm and not be happy and complain
and the like, But look at what happened in our
elections in the primaries, at least on the Republican side.
You can't tell me that they're not hurting just as
much as everybody else. But Trump's name was all over
so many of those candidates, and they simply Now, some

(01:02:08):
of it had to do with the way the districts
were drawn, and you know, getting the advantage that they
often you know, Republicans often want.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
But I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:02:17):
I still want to know what it is that he
holds over so many people in Congress, all of these
people that seem to be afraid to do anything.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
I don't think he holds anything over him as much
as he behaves the way they wish that they could.
He does things that the way that they would like
to do, but simply just don't have the celebrity or
power or what have you to do.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
So it's kind of like by proxy.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
You know he's he's doing and yeah, he's the one
carrying out.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
Wow, that's the way.

Speaker 3 (01:02:51):
I look at it, because I you know, yes, there's
some of them that are probably afraid. I've said this,
I don't know how many times, but I just don't.
I think fear only goes so far. I think some
of it, A lot of it is. Yeah, that's what
I want. He's doing what I want to be done
what I want them.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
I don't like. I don't like DEI because it's unfair
to me.

Speaker 3 (01:03:10):
Could be you know, everybody else is getting something but me,
and Trump's singing that song.

Speaker 4 (01:03:15):
So but now he came in saying no wars. Yeah
he's gonna end wars. Now he's flipped on that. Yeah,
gas prices are high as can be, food prices are
even higher, and you have all these promises made. I've
heard people that are MAGA supporters say he lied.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
Will they vote that way.

Speaker 4 (01:03:36):
That's a good question.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
That's the only thing. And I'm hearing it too.

Speaker 3 (01:03:40):
And how many times do you hear on national feeds
or anywhere. Well, behind closed doors, Republicans are living, they're furious.
But then you know, when they get in front of whoever,
and then when they go to the policy, they behave
in a completely different way because they want to hold
on to whatever power structure that person represents.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
So while they may not like it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
They may find certain things disgusting or deplorable, it's not
enough to make them change the way that they vote
or the way that they see how voting should be.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
And Indy, I mean, I have to say I was
a little I know, it was the Republican primary and
they haven't been put against the general election in terms
of independents who are the true swing voters. I know
all of that, but I was a little surprised that
five out of.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
The majority of five out of eight or five out of.

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
Seven Trump supported candidates be one in their primaries and
their Republican primaries. But again, that's just Republicans among Republicans,
just like the primaries with Democrat Democrats with Democrats. Now,
when you put a Democrat, an Independent, and a Republican
altogether in one race, That to me is going to

(01:04:59):
be the true t.

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
Yeah, that's true, that's kind of true. Tests.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
Yeah, but with Republicans, I'm not. I guess I shouldn't
be surprised, but I just.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
Don't think that. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
And getting us to getting us to vote. People talking
about were registered, We registered, We registered.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
No, we need voters. We need voters, and we need our.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
Every demographic in our community, from the young to the middle,
aged to senior, the extreme senior we need. You know,
I consider eighty to ninety in today's society, they're the
true senior citizens.

Speaker 4 (01:05:43):
That is true. You're right, aren't they?

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
Yeah, they are not extreme senior, but true truer. It
used to be fifty to.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
Sixty when you were a seniors. Yeah, I used to
read headlines. An elderly woman, how old was she? Well,
she was sixty one.

Speaker 4 (01:05:58):
The elderly woman.

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
Yeah, plus sixty sixty one. That elderly woman's still working
the checkout line across.

Speaker 4 (01:06:04):
There were exactly Yeah, eighty eighty to ninety, that would be.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
Yeah, senior citizens. Indeed, So.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
And there we have it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:18):
So a couple of other things I was going to
bring to your attention, and it had to do I know,
I know, with the potholes pothole situation.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
I got into a discussion.

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
With the with the gentleman, I think we were at
the grocery store. We were just talking and I was
what were the grocery store parking lot. I was just
looking at my my tires to make sure they were okay,
because I had I thought, I had hoped that I
had avoided yet another pothole. And we got into a
pothole conversation and he was telling me that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
I forgot his name. I should have remembered his name.
I'm sorry I forgot his name. But anyway, he was
telling me.

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
That he had submitted, you know, a couple of times,
once maybe three years ago, and then another this year completely,
very very similar to a lot of the conversations that
we've had here on the show, and has yet to
be reimbursed. And he too mentioned that the bar the

(01:10:28):
level was too high to be able to get paid,
but that Indianapolis purely did have a problem with potholes,
which we already know. And so I told him I
was on tire number five, and.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
He had a hard time.

Speaker 3 (01:10:47):
But last said, this is just a bad year for
the potholes, because I have gone through many winters and
other situations other seasons here in Indianapolis had not gone
through five tires.

Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
It just, I mean, it just it just added up
that way.

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
And for those like Lifestyles and the others who have
had to pay a lot of money, I feel for you.
I don't know how much louder I can shout it
from the rooftops. But whoever is in charge of the
city's administration, city's chief executive i e.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
The mayor, if.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
They would figure out a way to carve out a
potful I say, czar, but a person or maybe even
a department of two or three. You know, I know
money's money is very tight, budgets are tight, all kinds
of other things but people also do creative things with budgets.

(01:11:47):
They call it creative financing, especially to address an issue
that is as dire and as crucial as potholes.

Speaker 2 (01:11:55):
But if you could just the problem is.

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
So widespread that just you know, going to regular council
meetings and DPW giving a list and all those things
aren't getting it because it's getting further and further and
further behind, not to mention the overgrowth on some of
the islands in the middle or you know, the areas

(01:12:18):
in the middle of that particular maintenance of the city
is falling woefully behind and definitely needs to be addressed.
So as you are picking and as you are choosing
your candidate, your next candidate premier, and you'll have an
opportunity next year in twenty twenty seven, put it to them.

(01:12:39):
This is not a funny, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
Well, we'll shrug it off type of issue. This is serious.

Speaker 3 (01:12:45):
People are getting you know, they're getting hammered, cars are
getting damaged, people are having to pay out a pocket
a whole lot of money, not to mention the fact
that the city has apparently a pocket of money that
it's hard to get to anyway. So either change the
requirement and lower the bar, do something to start spending
some of that money that the council sets aside for
this or helps allows you to set aside or do

(01:13:09):
something that says I'm paying attention to potholes, and again
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
I'm not blaming the council or you know, everybody can.

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
Everybody is doing what they can do, but the chief
executive can do more. The chief executive can do more.
And if he or she wants to appoint a special
person or create a department because and declare potholes a
city emergency, then that can be done.

Speaker 4 (01:13:41):
Certainly can that can be done.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
And funding and financing can be and I'm sure the
council would be sympathetic to it and and do whatever
they could do to help.

Speaker 3 (01:13:53):
But I think, you know, like I said, this, this
gets back to I don't know, but anyway, well not
listening to me.

Speaker 4 (01:14:00):
Maybe they are. They may be listening. It just takes
a little time for it to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:14:04):
I guess I'm not a politician, and I don't know
how city government works when it comes to stuff like that.
I do know that when you try to spend money,
it's as hard as I don't know what. So I
get that, I get it, But I also get that
there are ways, uh managerial ways to be able to
do that if you want to address it seriously.

Speaker 4 (01:14:27):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (01:14:28):
So and that that that falls squarely on the mate.
I mean that your counsel folks can only do so much.
They've only got so much money that they are able
to work with. So yeah, there we go.

Speaker 4 (01:14:39):
What do you got, Eric, Well, Tina, I got some
great news. We got a winner. Okay, and Gerald, are

Speaker 4 (01:17:22):

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):
So yeah, we have me two times what I got.
I love it. I love it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:30):
We have more tickets tomorrow too, Yeah, we do.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
We have more tickets, so by all means, so please
keep our number handy, but we're taking your calls for
whatever else you may want to talk about. UH three
one seven, four eight zero thirteen ten three one seven,
four eight zero thirteen ten is the number. And uh
in continuing with our what folks won't do to go viral?

(01:17:56):
To continue with that, I just said, I was going
to give you differ different examples. This is a graduating
McNeese State University student McNeice. I think they were in
the basketball tournament Men's NCAA basketball tournam mc nise anyway,
posed for a senior photo shoot with a fourteen foot

(01:18:19):
alligator named big Ai or is it big Al?

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
I think it's a big al.

Speaker 3 (01:18:25):
Aiming to highlight her work, is cat Daily highlight her
work with animals and challenge negative perceptions of reptiles. Cat Daily,
who helps run Gator County or Gator Country in Beaumont, Texas,
emphasized that alligators are not as aggressive as commonly believed,
in that they can coexist peacefully with humans when left undisturbed.

(01:18:50):
Not quite sure who wants to find that out, but
it says the photographer who captured the viral images, of course,
went viral noted that the alligators involved in the shoot
were trained and well tempered, ensuring the safety of their participants.
Gator Country, where Daily works, serves as a sanctuary for

(01:19:10):
around four hundred and fifty alligators and plays a crucial
role in conservation efforts by rescuing and caring for these animals.
Despite graduating with a degree in general studies and Natural sciences,
Daily expressed contentment with her current job at the park
and plans to continue working there to further her passion
for wildlife conservation and education.

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
So this is kind of a double edged sword.

Speaker 3 (01:19:34):
She took a picture with the fourteen foot fourteen foot alligator,
saying that, yeah, she took a picture with a fourteen
foot alligator, but this one was tamed and was not
a wild alligator, right, and her point being that they
can peacefully coexist when they're left alone.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
Well, who's going to go bother one?

Speaker 4 (01:19:58):
Yeah? Who would bother an alligator?

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
Don't know?

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
But she's from this this preserve where she works. That's
the alligator she took a picture with. It went the viral,
but the the the disclaimer was, yeah, that alligator had
been trained.

Speaker 4 (01:20:11):
How do you team an alligator?

Speaker 2 (01:20:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
It just it's just said that the alligator from the
sanctuary hold on not Laurel Oglesby, the photographer who captured
the viral images, noted that the alligators involved in the
shoot are trained and well tempered.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Okay, trained and well tempered.

Speaker 4 (01:20:33):
Yeah, right, then it's an alligator. It's a wild animal.

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
It's an alligator, wild animal, and you're not going to
convince me. I don't care how many pictures you cha.

Speaker 4 (01:20:40):
You know, there are people that I know who have
certain types of dogs. I won't mention the type, but
oh he won't bite. It has teeth, right, Yeah, yeah,
it doesn't know me, it does it? It could no.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
Yeah, and the same thing with you know, like if
you have an allergy or something to a cat or whatever, Yeah,
Fluffy never comes out.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Fluffy doesn't like company. Fluffy.

Speaker 4 (01:20:59):
Fluffy.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
You hit the door, there's a Fluffy standing right there
looking at you.

Speaker 4 (01:21:03):
I've had that happen to me. I don't have allergies,
but I don't like cats.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
I am not a fan.

Speaker 4 (01:21:07):
And it seems like they if I visited people that
have cats, it's all on to get my lap and
wrap around my legs.

Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
Yeah, come on, it wants to be all.

Speaker 5 (01:21:15):
Over you know.

Speaker 4 (01:21:16):
Could you get fluffy?

Speaker 2 (01:21:17):
Please please? Yeah, well they just want to give you
some love. Well take it somewhere else. It's somewhere else.
Because everybody is not.

Speaker 4 (01:21:27):
No, they're not.

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
And I'm not speaking against neither am.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
I I've had them, and I I admire people who
are pet people. But you have to understand everybody isn't everybody,
Just like everybody doesn't think a child is cute, everybody's
not a child person.

Speaker 4 (01:21:40):
So that is true.

Speaker 2 (01:21:41):
You just have to be aware.

Speaker 3 (01:21:44):
Uh three one seven four eight zero thirteen ten three
one seven four eight zero thirteen ten.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
George, go ahead, how are you?

Speaker 13 (01:21:51):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
I'm doing well. How are you today? This is going
to rain a little bit and stormy, but other than that,
not bad.

Speaker 5 (01:21:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:21:59):
I had a good I'm telling Eric, I just one
little twenty six dollars on the lottery. Oh a little
bit lunch money.

Speaker 2 (01:22:06):
Love lunch money. Enough to play one more time?

Speaker 13 (01:22:09):
Right then keep it rolling.

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
Congratulations.

Speaker 13 (01:22:14):
Yeah, yeah, what I was talking about. You know, you're
talking about the pothole situation. It's it's a nationwide problem
on social media, and it was down in Texas. There
was a small town that needed money for their roads.
It was real bad. And not to brag on a

(01:22:37):
particular country that starts with an eye over in the
Middle East. They needed money for their roles, real bad.
But Governor abbot Uh told them that they had to
give that money up that the tax players were playing
and send it off to that one country that's supposed
to be good friends with the big Orange man Uh.

(01:23:00):
And this goes on across the country where a tax
dollars are being diverted to this to this place. And
when we have pothole problems, you wonder where where's the
money going to? But they can't use the money because
the money's being redirected, and there's nothing that the city's
or the city county council or anything anybody can do
about it. And this was in the state of Texas

(01:23:23):
where and I've seen it pop up a few times
and the same thing is going on with you might
have heard about it in Arkansas where the back roads
or really damaged, really bad. And once there in the
Huckabee Satus, Sarah Huckabee Sandus, she supposedly donated fifty five
million dollars of the taxpayer's money to this country or

(01:23:46):
basically given.

Speaker 4 (01:23:46):
It to them.

Speaker 13 (01:23:48):
So if we wonder why the potholes are not getting
filled or they're bad, and you dig down a little deep,
that could be part of the problem where you know,
where the Moneys disappearances.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
You know what, George, I don't doubt that the problem
is multifaceted, and I don't pretend to think that it's
all just you know, with the you know, just like boom,
We're okay, it's over. It is multifaceted, but it can
it can be focused and directed. The majority of it
can be focused and directed by a city's chief executive

(01:24:24):
if they wanted to do it. I get exactly what
you're saying. I get exactly what you're saying.

Speaker 13 (01:24:30):
Yeah, because they get down in tech, the little small towns.
I think they had somebody was in charge of the
finances or and they had a city county council and
they said, well, we need why is our money going
over there? And they went to they legislative system process
in their county and decided to well, we're going to
take our money for our tax payer dollars and use
them for our roads. And they got a call from

(01:24:51):
the governor's office, so you better not do that. You
better send that money to where it's posed up up
to the state, and we'll send it to where it's
where where it's already allocated to go. Mm hmm. That's
that's saying. That's and I'm hearing a loud about that
across the country. People are having problems like that.

Speaker 4 (01:25:09):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 13 (01:25:12):
Yes, it's really on that second thought, that alligator you remember,
I don't know why, I've seen two instant where this
guy he was a wildlife trainer and he had some
so called trained gators and he accidentally put his foot up.
He's supposed to have a stick, but he's to hold
the gator's mouth over. But he decided he wanted to
run his hand through the mouth, and a dip of

(01:25:35):
sweat fell on the gator's tongue and took his hand,
took one of his fingers. They're like a snap maternal.
If you dropped one listening with their mouth up, you
drop one little bead of anything, Well, fish comes through
there and they touch it. It's a wrap. I don't
said why she would sit up and tell people that
you can have a pet gator.

Speaker 3 (01:25:53):
Yeah, crazy, crazy to go viral, to go viral, George.

Speaker 13 (01:25:58):
Yeah, I remember the one of who that Miami vice
when done crockerhead Elvis, and I was, you know, he's
been on the chain and trained. He was still Wow
if you do. If you threw a fish in his mouth,
he snapped down on it real quick. So my advice
to anybody if you got a pet gator, leave him

(01:26:18):
in the wild or you know, in the zoos. Don't
be trudging him all he's trained.

Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
Thank you.

Speaker 11 (01:26:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:26:24):
My advice is wild anything, leave them and let them stay.

Speaker 13 (01:26:29):
Let him stay wilde.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
So and go ahead, all righty, thank you George, and
go ahead, hurry up.

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
How are you? How are you here? You're up next?

Speaker 3 (01:26:39):
Not hurry up, not hurry up, you're up next. I'm sorry.

Speaker 11 (01:26:44):
Okay, thanks for taking my call. Thank you for hoping
that Since.

Speaker 10 (01:26:48):
All this revenue coming in from the race. I know
it's in speedway, and I've done the sports events we
have here, it could be, you know, go to our
roads and streets and it's kind of bad when I
forget what national magazine, but it made a national magazine about.

Speaker 11 (01:27:10):
We having the worst roads and so they don't build
count embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (01:27:16):
Yeah, Well, the thing about the if I'm not mistaken,
the race, the money that comes in for the race,
that's calculated by and helped me out if I'm wrong
here at airport, flights, rental cars, hotels, restaurants, shops, you know,

(01:27:38):
and all those kinds of things. That's how that is
is calculated. So the economy that benefits from the race,
they're all individual economies. I mean, they all create their
own individual services, goods and services that caught.

Speaker 2 (01:27:54):
I mean people.

Speaker 3 (01:27:55):
That have houses they benefit and they make money because
they can chards for parking. So I mean it's just
it's just but mainly it's restaurants hotels, uber drivers, you
name it, all kinds of But still.

Speaker 10 (01:28:11):
Though, we have a lot of dense downtown and Indiannapolis
and look like some of that money could go to
our streets.

Speaker 11 (01:28:19):
I don't know. I don't know how they figing it up.

Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
I don't know, uh, but it would.

Speaker 3 (01:28:25):
Yeah, I don't think that there's anything that would go
into a generalized fund or that. I guess the taxation
maybe food taxes and things like that that you know,
on the food purchase, maybe that might help a little.

Speaker 13 (01:28:40):
Yeah, maybe somewhere.

Speaker 11 (01:28:41):
Yeah, I'm not that personally. They got the money somewhere,
Dawn there in that pocket.

Speaker 2 (01:28:47):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (01:28:48):
A lot of that money went into that new hotel
was being constructed.

Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
Yeah, right across the sh.

Speaker 10 (01:28:58):
And we'll look like they would get the eight fixed first,
and then because you're gonna have business coming into those
new hotel, they would look like they get this cheek
fixed first.

Speaker 3 (01:29:08):
We tell you there's no gaping potholes around any of
those Oh no, none, none at all none.

Speaker 10 (01:29:16):
I mean, we had people coming into town and they
running all over you.

Speaker 11 (01:29:20):
Potholes and everything. Sixteenth Street is terrible and there's nothing
being done about it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
That's true.

Speaker 11 (01:29:29):
And H West three that bridge at one point that
they fixed the bridge this smooth. But after that you
guys start dodging potholes.

Speaker 2 (01:29:38):
Yep, uh, you're right.

Speaker 3 (01:29:43):
And maybe somebody heard you as well, like find that money.

Speaker 11 (01:29:48):
A national magazine. I forget which one it was. Yeah,
Indianapolis pothole and you.

Speaker 13 (01:29:53):
Know that's terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
It is it is. Yeah, you don't want that on it?
All right? Well, thank you, Anne, appreciate.

Speaker 10 (01:30:00):
Okay, somebody and Pam and worked for NSA magazine and
went back and reported it.

Speaker 11 (01:30:05):
So hopefully the help. All right, all right, thank you,
a good day.

Speaker 2 (01:30:09):
Thank you you too. Vivian, go ahead, how are you hi?

Speaker 14 (01:30:12):
TINAI have you ever thought about anybody ever thought about
the pot holes in the community in our area?

Speaker 5 (01:30:20):
Is part of the DIY because you can go anywhere else.

Speaker 2 (01:30:24):
You mean, do it yourself, do it yourself? Did no?

Speaker 14 (01:30:27):
I mean you did your verse?

Speaker 5 (01:30:29):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:30:29):
DEI?

Speaker 5 (01:30:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:30:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:30:32):
Have you ever thought about best in the bill too?

Speaker 5 (01:30:36):
That take you know, if they took away taking want
to take away everything else. So why give us a
nice little road to street to drive on it?

Speaker 13 (01:30:43):
That's part of it.

Speaker 14 (01:30:44):
And another thing, it's a lot of roadwork. Street works
going on. I have to do is get past fifty.

Speaker 5 (01:30:51):
Second goal per sess fifty second street, all of those communities.

Speaker 13 (01:30:55):
I drive up down sixty second and had two little potholes.

Speaker 5 (01:31:00):
They graved the whole street on both.

Speaker 13 (01:31:02):
Sides and repay them.

Speaker 14 (01:31:06):
Right there at thirtieth and Deerborn, the.

Speaker 5 (01:31:08):
Police department is right there.

Speaker 14 (01:31:10):
If you drive a small vehicle that holds so big
you would go in that.

Speaker 5 (01:31:14):
Holy you have to have a tow truck to get
your vehicle out.

Speaker 14 (01:31:18):
So of course it's gonna.

Speaker 5 (01:31:20):
Stay there because those people that work the police department,
people that work they don't even live in the neighbors,
so they don't care.

Speaker 2 (01:31:28):
Have those do you know if those have been reported?

Speaker 5 (01:31:32):
You have hundreds of police officers and detections and shaff
everybody going there all day long, and I'm sure they
have seen it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
Yeah, let's hope that all of this, all of.

Speaker 5 (01:31:43):
That type of stuff. That's the e I too. They
just figured that none of us have thought about that.
But that's part of the bill.

Speaker 2 (01:31:50):
Okay, all right, Vivian, there's a there's a thought there,
you know. I don't Yeah, yeah, thank you, thank you
for your call. I'm I'm not sure that.

Speaker 3 (01:32:02):
Street funding and roads and pothole funding would be part
of DEI, but there have been some that have said,
you know, why does this area come first, or why
is DP why is this area prioritized over this one,
which could be looked at as somebody getting preference over
somebody else.

Speaker 2 (01:32:22):
Indeed, we'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (01:32:30):
Let's get back to the conversation. It's Community Connection with
Tina Cosby on phrase AM thirteen ten ninety five point one.

Speaker 3 (01:32:39):
FM, and we are back and Eric, it's just about
black outside of about midnight.

eight zero thirteen ten. Three one seven four eight zero
thirteen ten is the number. Feel free to give us
a call. Let's go back to the phone lines, Bobby,
go ahead, how are.

Speaker 7 (01:33:46):
You take y'all?

Speaker 2 (01:33:49):
Well, good afternoon.

Speaker 7 (01:33:52):
I was just thinking, if you know, you guys do
a good job talking about voting, and I would imagine
all black radio gospels, mainly gospel guntles, they do a
darn good job about talking about voting all over America.
But I was thinking, if you take to fifty from

(01:34:15):
thirty to fifty year olds, if those parents are not voting,
who's going to teach our kids to vote? Because now
it's just like your other stations. I can't remember what
the numbers are on it. You know, I know they
do too, but a lot of kids now they're listening

(01:34:36):
more the radio that has a lot of cussing in it,
so you know that they're not gonna be saying nothing
about no voting. Now, I believe I can't say they can,
but I believe HBCUs they talk good about voting, But
who's going to really put the idea in our kids

(01:34:57):
about voting? Because a lot of the stuff that happen
way back in the six sixties and stuff, some them
parents don't even know about it. I just wonder who's
who's if they're not listening to guys like you and
some other places. I do know that that you know,
say about who's going to teach them?

Speaker 2 (01:35:17):
Well, and that's a good question.

Speaker 3 (01:35:19):
Uh, but uh, the you know, the spaces in which
most people live, which are right there on their little
handheld computers called cellphones. Uh, there is language on all
of them. It's just a matter of whether or not
people want to tune into it or or take advantage
of it. But I mean it's there. Uh, it's just

(01:35:41):
do they consume it?

Speaker 2 (01:35:42):
Do they do they take heed?

Speaker 1 (01:35:44):
Do?

Speaker 6 (01:35:45):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
What do people do with it? And so also we've
been talking about social media a lot and going viral.

Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
People pay attention to what they want to pay attention to.
And in terms of teaching, you know, we all have
to do our part. I guess we do the best
we can, but I don't think we should sleep on
the fact that it's out there. It's just a matter
of whether or not they're going to pick up on it.
So we have to keep sounding the alarm and letting

(01:36:12):
them know that, hey, all this stuff that you see
coming across your phone and things of that nature, pay attention,
look a little deeper because it's there. And I know
for a fact it's there because my phone kicks it
out to me all the time, and I'm not nearly
as attached to my phone as thirty to fifty year
olds are. I guess you would say, Eric, do you

(01:36:33):
get a lot of info on your phone?

Speaker 4 (01:36:34):
I do get a lot of info on everything.

Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
Every Yeah, the phone is just an information highway.

Speaker 4 (01:36:40):
It is certainly is.

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
So it's there.

Speaker 3 (01:36:42):
It's just a matter of But your point is well
taken about how we're going to teach, you know, the
I think thirty and younger, you know, eighteen to thirty
year olds are more the thirty to fifties, you know,
I don't know, but eighteen to thirty eighteen, what is
eighteen to thirty five? Those are the prize demos, well,

(01:37:04):
twenty four to fifty six, fifty.

Speaker 4 (01:37:07):
Yeah, those demos are necessary.

Speaker 2 (01:37:09):
Those very incredible demographics.

Speaker 4 (01:37:12):
They are.

Speaker 7 (01:37:14):
One more thing. I got to say, the churches too.
They do a good job.

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
Churches too. Yeah, absolutely, you know, some do some Some
churches are pretty standard, pretty traditional, and they just keep
it to the book, and you know, I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
Criticize them for that because that's what they do, that's
their lane. But other churches have more social expressions of faith.
I believe, as one pastor put it, other churches are
much more steeped in social expressions of faith than some
are more than others.

Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
So yeah, right, yeah, there we go. All right, thank you, Bobby,
appreciate your call. Good food for thought, Good food for thought. Yeah, Lynne,
go ahead.

Speaker 6 (01:37:51):
How are you, my Tina. I'm just sign in reference
to the gentleman that just called. I know they that
Stacy Abrams has a website that is out there to
help educate people and teach people what they can do

(01:38:11):
in the communities, to reach out to people and get
them registered to vote and give them information on voting
and that type of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
She does.

Speaker 3 (01:38:21):
She'll be here, by the way, she was just here,
but she'll be back in June for the Urban Leagues
Equal Opportunity Day lunch and yeah, and we're hopefully I
better not speak. But let me put it this way,
the request to get her has been put in for
her to talk to you all, to talk to us.

Speaker 2 (01:38:40):
Yes, we'll see. Sometimes I would definitely like to hear. Yeah.
Sometimes we can get it worked. In other times not
so much, but at least we ask.

Speaker 6 (01:38:49):
So yeah, okay, great.

Speaker 11 (01:38:52):
Well my question for you is, I'm wondering if you
have seen this flag.

Speaker 6 (01:39:00):
It's it's an American flag, but it doesn't have it
only has I believe the thirteen stars in the circle
and it's hanging on a utility pole on thirtieth Street
in Brightwood.

Speaker 2 (01:39:16):
Oh, I haven't seen that, Okay, I you know it's
still there.

Speaker 6 (01:39:20):
I saw it a couple of weeks ago, and I've
been really busy and I've been missing your show. But
I wanted to ask if, if, if, since you haven't
seen it, I mean, if you had seen it, and
if you might know what it's there for, what is
the significance?

Speaker 5 (01:39:37):
I do not.

Speaker 2 (01:39:38):
I am not aware.

Speaker 4 (01:39:39):
Eric.

Speaker 2 (01:39:40):
Yes, if anybody knows, let us know. I'll look it up.
That's that's news to me. I didn't know.

Speaker 11 (01:39:47):
Yeah, I tried to look it up, but I really
couldn't find anything. But I'm not you know, I might
might not have, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:39:55):
Looked as deeply, or might not have the same resources
that you have to find out. But I would really
like to know because I can't imagine why someone it's
not in someone's yard.

Speaker 11 (01:40:08):
It's just on a utility pole, like a light pole or.

Speaker 6 (01:40:12):
Telephone pole or something right there on Thirtieth Street. It's
between Emerson and Sherman, and it would be like on
the south side of the street, and it's just hanging
there by itself, And I'm just wondering what it's there for,
and what's the significance, who would have put it there,
and why?

Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
Well it says here.

Speaker 3 (01:40:31):
The thirteen star American Flag was the first official US flag,
authorized by the Continental Congress on June fourteen, seventeen seventy seven.
Featured thirteen alternating red and white stripes and thirteen stars
in a blue canton to represent the original colonies that
declared what independence.

Speaker 2 (01:40:53):
Okay, I know that's the.

Speaker 6 (01:40:54):
History, you know, But I'm just wondering why that particular
flag is where it.

Speaker 3 (01:40:59):
Is, with the significance of it being there that I
don't This is the first i've heard of it, but
we will certainly certainly see what we can find out.
That's interesting. It's called the Betsy Ross flag exactly early
earliest design.

Speaker 6 (01:41:19):
Yeah, but it's still a mystery to me as to
why that particular type of flag is hanging in Brightwood
like that.

Speaker 4 (01:41:29):
I can't find anything that.

Speaker 6 (01:41:31):
A residential area, you know, it's not.

Speaker 2 (01:41:34):
A business or anything. Yeah, that's very curious. That is
a curious one. Indeed, that is.

Speaker 3 (01:41:44):
Right with neighborhood flag. I don't see anything. Okay, yeah,
maybe somebody will help us out.

Speaker 11 (01:41:53):
I would certainly like could could I leave my email
with you?

Speaker 2 (01:41:57):
Mm hmmm yes, but yeah, we can take it off
the air. Eric can take it off the air.

Speaker 4 (01:42:05):
Up up.

Speaker 2 (01:42:06):
Uh right, Nope, don't see anything.

Speaker 11 (01:42:11):
I didn't find anything either, so that's really made me
even more curious.

Speaker 2 (01:42:14):
It's quite well.

Speaker 3 (01:42:16):
Go ahead and and give Eric uh your your email address,
and he'll take that off the air and we'll see
what we can find out. Uh, CEO, let me see
if we can find it. You know, maybe somebody that's
in charge of the neighborhood association or the Neighborhood Development

(01:42:36):
Center something like that. Neighborhood Development Corporation rather, Okay, alrighty,
thank you, but I do believe yeah, Martin Dell Brightwood
Community Development Commissioned, so we can we can certainly check
with them and find out what's going on with the flight.

Speaker 2 (01:43:00):
It's an interesting thing.

Speaker 3 (01:43:02):
But for now, again a reminder, if you don't already
