Speaker 1 (00:06):
Honey bashes two home run balls.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
For the Dodgers and boy trying to make history there.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
As the World Series Game three in.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Los Angeles continues to roll on, It's an extra frames,
bottom of the tenth plus Travis Kelce makes history, and
so do the Chiefs with their win over the Commanders
on Monday Night Football. Hey, hey, everybody, I'm Kate Delaney
here on America tonight, And as we always do, we
(00:39):
start first with the rundown. Yeah, and you kind of
heard that the machine was already starting up in the studio.
Hurricane Melissa awful. It's said to be the worst storm
to ever hit Jamaica and the worst storm on the
(01:02):
planet right now, as some have described it, because we're
talking about winds of one hundred and seventy five miles
an hour.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
It is bearing down.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
As this leaves my lips category five already, the outer
bands have it, powers out many many areas, Trees are down.
Its catastrophic winds, rains, flooding, all of that is starting
to happen.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Storm surge.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
The brunt of it, where I'm saying, the one hundred
and seventy five happens a handful of hours from now.
But you know, the US Embassy in Jamaica, there are
Americans there, tourists that are trapped, says Americans should be
prepared to shelter in place. You have the Jamaican Prime
Minister urging residents to obey evacuation orders.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
To take a listen, safety is priority.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I'm being smart.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Helps a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, being smart because trying to to somehow get away
when already gets too late. Just having to be able
to stay in place and hopefully someplace where you are
away from the wall of water that has already started
to hit Jamaica because of the outer bands in Tampa, Florida.
(02:17):
There are many people, as there are across this great
country who have friends and family in Jamaica who live
in Jamaica. Here's a couple that shared their thoughts on
talking to family.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I literally just got off before my sister. Everybody is racing.
The government of Jamaica is telling everybody do not jamble
with this one. This one looks like a big.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
One, looks like a big one. And this woman had
the same sentiment.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Very because it's like a handsa tie, you know, so
you can the best thing you can do for in
the situation.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
For Jamaica's just pray for Jamaica.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Pray for Jamaica, and we all are doing that. You
see it all over social media. People have posted some
of the ferocious renderings of the giant, massive hurricane where
it's red in the center and it's twirling and it's
right there about to take over Jamaica. So evacuation orders
(03:15):
of course applying to Port Royal and Kingston, Portland Cottage
and Rocky Point in Clarendon, Old Harbor Bay.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And Saint Catharine.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Some of these names of me sound familiar to many
of you have spent time in Jamaica. So evacuation orders,
it's just very direct, save your life, remove yourself from
communities that are extremely vulnerable, low lying, flood prone areas.
I've always wanted to go to Jamaica my whole life.
I've had the pleasure of visiting many wonderful places. It
(03:45):
was on my list, and four months ago I went
to Jamaica. I got to see Jamaica. It was amazing.
Where we were reggae hill. I'm sure we'll get wiped out.
I hate to say that, maybe I'm wrong. And then
Dun's falls incredible nine hundred fifty feet hiking up.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
It just the beauty blew my mind.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And you know this is in an area Ocho Rios
where they may get they're gonna get hit with it,
but they may be lucky except for in those low
lying areas, right. I mean, listen, it's so bad that
in a US Air Force Reserve crew known as the
Hurricane Hunters, flew through the eye of Hurricane Melissa on Monday,
(04:25):
but there was another crew that couldn't go because too
much turbulence with the kind of hurricane that we are
talking about, Cat five, Cat five, I'm going to say
it again, one hundred and seventy mile an hour wins.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
All right, we move to our own catastrophe that is
happening in this country with the government shutdown, because we
know November first, more than forty million people won't get
those snap benefits. Families are worried. There are food banks
that are getting a lot of food donations, thank goodness,
all over the country. But then there's people working at
and volunteering because because the government is shut down. This
(05:10):
is one of the many things that have happened. Scott Bessett,
the Secretary of the Treasury, said this about where we're at.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
They've dug in the American people are hostage to Chuck
Schumer and King Jeffery's poll numbers. Both of the two
guys from Brooklyn, like I call them, are worried about
being primary from the left. Fifty two Republican Senators have
voted eleven times to reopen the government, three brave moderate
Democrats who come across the aisle. So I call on
(05:41):
moderate Democratic senators to end this craziness.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You'll be heroes, all right, But it hasn't ended. Nothing new.
There is no movement. There's still more of the war
of words happening, and that's it. So it's about the
people and the people who are furloughed, not getting checks
or even helping other people. Jenna Norton. I happen to
catch her on the tube today. She's with the Natural
Institutes of Health. She talked about the fact that of
(06:07):
course she's not getting a paycheck, but she was worried
about other people.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
I am not showing up to work, and I've been
trying to use that time to work with some of
my colleagues to make sure that we're you know, giving
back two folks who aren't able to afford their day
to day necessities. So you know, we've been working together
with an organization called twenty seven United, which is an
(06:33):
NIHL alumni organization to volunteer at food banks and other
organizations that need extra support during this time.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, So while that's happening, you have air traffic control
staffing problems that have really spiked a lot of concerns
about more disruptions. Dallas Fort Worth they had delays of
over an hour in the morning and that bled into
the afternoon because of the lack of air traffic controllers.
More than fifty staffing shortages have been reported since Friday morning,
(07:04):
causing delays from LA to Washington.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
DC.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Controllers are considered essential workers, so they have to work
during the shutdown, but they're not getting paid. And flights
for Los Angeles International Airport temporarily had to be completely
stopped on Sunday because of the staffing shortage. So imagine
that you're on a plane and I guess you're circling
around or going someplace else because you couldn't do anything.
(07:28):
You couldn't land at Reagan National Airport in Arlington, they
had staffing problems. It caused a ground delay Sunday that
lasted at one point because it got later in the day,
it lasted until midnight. So there have been a lot
of problems as a result of that. And because like
I mentioned, thousands of federal employees unpaid or furloughed. There's
(07:52):
a break in that food assistance that is happening. So
then there's the banks that are overflowing. I'll tell your
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, he looks pretty weary, he said
over the weekend. Controllers are wearing thin and calling and
sick as they continue to go without pay for what
is difficult, complex work. And that's the key, complex work,
(08:12):
that is the key. The President is in Asia. He
met with the first female Prime Minister of Japan.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The relationships there are good.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
There's a deal being cut with China, so those extreme
tariffs are off the table. That's the good news. There's
a very big historic trip, no question about that. Coming
up next. A view from the cheap seats, A whole
bunch of different things.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Something unique on the flip.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (08:57):
Actually three known gas is doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
is a gas that's readily made all day long to
keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
(09:21):
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
precious gas, and in turn blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah. Since Halloween is coming up at the end of
the week, as we cruise into things on my mind
from the cheap seats, this has been on my mind.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I've read a lot about UFOs. I've talked to experts.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
About unidentified flying objects, unidentified submerged objects, you get it,
things that we can't explain. Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for
the Pittsburgh Steelers, now says that he and a friend,
and the friend verifies this, stepped out of a place
(12:45):
that they were staying in New Jersey and they saw
a UFO shoot across the sky and they both swear
by it. Other people in that same area reported UFO
sightings too as well. Do we believe in UFOs are
just the Is it just the crazies that think that
there are UFOs?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Why don't we believe in UFOs?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Is it a scientific impossibility or is it just our
ego that stops us for entertaining the idea. But yet
we are many of us fascinated by it, and that's
why it's exploited so often on the big screen because
people will go and see shows that deal with UFOs,
especially in a comical way or a childlike what way
(13:31):
if you think of E T and Steven Spielberg. Right,
And it just made me think in my head because
I know I'll see a lot of aliens that will
come to the door, I hope, because I got that
candy I can't eat. So it made me think, how
would I react if I had an Aaron Rodgers moment
(13:51):
if it really was an Aaron Rodgers' moment that he
saw that, Right, And I was looking up some stuff
about UFOs and looking through our files of people that
we have talked to, and it's interesting because I used
to live in Las Vegas, and Nevada is a place
where people say they see more UFOs or report them
(14:13):
than anyplace else. And in fact, the Mahave Desert, the
Mojave Desert, is what they talk about. They talk about
that there's something that's weird that they'll look up. They'll
see this cloud formation that looks like a flying saucer,
and they really think that they're seeing a flying saucer.
Are they hallucinating? Do they want to see something weird?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
What is?
Speaker 7 (14:37):
You know?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
What is the deal?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And there's a highway it's called Exterrestrial Highway. It's one
hundred and forty mile ribbon of road in south central
Nevada and it's just outside of Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I know it well.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
It runs through one of the darkest and really scariest,
most desolate stretches of the United States States, and it's
famous for alien encounters. Since the fifties, there have been
more reports of UFO sightings there than anywhere else in
the country. Skeptics will say that UFOs are probably just
super stealth aircraft from Nellis Air Force Base. Ufologists that
(15:21):
name is people who believe in aliens have a different
kind of explanation. They say that that's the place where
it's the outer corners of the universe, so that's why
they would come there. And some believe the proximity to
the Nevada Test and Training Range and of course Area
fifty one, the top secret base that the US Central
(15:42):
Intelligence Agency didn't admit was real until twenty thirteen. We
used to have my friend and he stills my friend,
Bob Nay, the former Congressman from Ohio on the show,
and I asked him about that one time, and he
said that he would never reveal what he knew about
Area fifty one. And he said that even his sons
(16:03):
couldn't get it out of him. So some who have
worked at Area fifty one couldn't keep their mouths shut though.
They claim it is home to an alien spacecraft and
possibly even a dead alien.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Think Independence Day.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Others have linked the site to a nineteen forty seven
incident near Roswell, New Mexico, that led to a bunch
of conspiracy theories about the government's role in covering up
what some thought was the crash of an alien space ship.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Right think X files. The truth is.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Out there, So I think if you want to find
out for yourself, you need to go down Extraterrestrial Highway.
It is very creepy. I will tell you. I have definitely,
you know, driven it. If you leave from Las Vegas,
you had north on I fifteen, go right past downtown,
(16:58):
go past the Las Vegas Speedway. Then you go on
ninety three and go eighty five miles north through the
desert to a place called Eli And there's just I mean,
it's nothing. You see sand and sagebrush and juniper and
prickly pears and that kind of thing. It's dark, it's dry,
(17:20):
it's creepy. It is creepy. In fact, they that used
to be the whole deal of the joke, that there
were a lot of bodies buried out there, right, And
because it's Halloween, it made me think of this. Like
I said, this is my view from the cheap seat,
something that I have pondered, and I have asked other people.
(17:40):
I've asked military people.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I know when I was out a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
At Vandenberg Air Force Base, and they believe that sometimes
it's not at all what we think. It's something errant.
It's something that just we can't process. I can't process it.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Right. Do I want that moment in close encounters? No? No, No,
I do not want that moment? Right. No.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
And you think about the two thousand and nine movie
The Men Who Stare at Goats, right, and it's you're
talking about there where they're interviewing people who report alien
sightings across the country and you talk to how many
five thousand people? And this is based on The Men
(18:32):
Who's Derek Goats is loosely based on this group that
did that when they were working inside Area fifty one.
So there is a guy named George Harris who's a
US Army vet and local entrepreneur. And you know, you
go down that route and he's someone who was in
the army and did that where he interviewed those people,
(18:55):
and that is again loosely based on the men who
stare at goats. And it's interesting if you go to
if you find him, if you seek him out, and
you can. Zork stands forty feet high outside the Alien
Research Center founded by Harris, and like I said, he
(19:15):
was the one who interviewed so many people about alien
sightings across the country. You know, there is lots of
lore and alien history and sign from the nineties that
hangs inside, surrounded by handwritten messages on the wall. And
I mean it's more like a gift shop, I would say, now.
(19:37):
And of course, what do they have alien themed clothing
and magnets and hot sauce that kind of stuff and shotglasses.
Why not he has a brand, and why not have
a tequila that is in the bottle is shaped like
alien heads. Because people are searching, People are searching for something,
(19:58):
people want to believe that there is something out there,
or they don't want to believe there is something out there,
And I wonder where you fall.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
As far as that's concerned.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
The no, thank you, I don't want to know, or
I think there's something out there, and maybe I'll go
get me a chot ski even if it's tacky and
it's a green head and it's a magnet or it's
a mug or it's a hat or it's a whatever,
I'll go do it.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I'll go out there to that highway.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I'm gonna believe I'm going to poke around those dirt
roads and disappear into the desert. And you know, I
think the question is just make sure you leave some
sort of breadcrumbs so you know how to get back,
because it's so easy to get lost on your search
for aliens or the truth. That could be pretty tricky
(20:51):
in itself, all right, Like I said, view from the
cheap seats something I'm pondering, and nobody will answer the
question that I know that would be privy to that
information as too. Is there really a spaceship at Area
fifty one or not? The Washington commanders taken on the
Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City already, you know, not
(21:14):
good for them. For Travis Kelcey touchdown number eighty three. Oh,
what a victory for them because they're five and three
now where they've really turned things around. Pat mahomes through
for two hundred and ninety nine yards on Monday Night football,
three touchdowns, Kareem Hunt found the end zone twice.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
And how about that.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
The game was tied at the halfway point, and then
it ended up very lopsided again twenty eight to seven
in favor of the Chiefs. And huge for Travis Kelsey
because he gets number eighty three to tie Priest Homes
for the Chiefs career record. And by the way, another
touchdown went to Rashid Rice, who caught nine passes for
(21:57):
ninety three yards in his second game from a six
game NFL suspension. So while that is happening in Major
League Baseball, Wow, what a game. Extra innings were right now.
That's why I love live baby. We're right now and
(22:18):
the top of the twelfth the Blue Jays and the
Dodgers are tied at five, tying the game. Of course,
show hey o'tani with his second home run? All right,
coming up next gaming and parenting something very very interesting
tips for parents stay with us, so think about gaming
(23:02):
and some of the conversations that we've had on this show.
I am really excited to introduce to you doctor Elizabeth Milavidov,
who is the global head of parental Advocacy for Roadblocks
and we have talked about this again on this show
so much so it's so important for us to keep
doing that because she's got some great tips for parents
(23:25):
to keep their kids safe while gaming online. Doc, thanks
so much for coming on.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Oh, it's an absolute pleasure. Love talking to digital parents.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
So what is your role at Roblox and why is
it so important right now?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
So my role I am, as you said, the global
head of parental Advocacy, and my role is really to
be the voice of parents and caregivers within Rollblocks, to
really listen to to parental concerns and to sort of
be that bridge to go back and forth between parent
(24:00):
in communities and our Roadblocks teams and let them know,
you know, what can we do to listen and learn
and what can we do to really improve the Roblocks
experience for digital families.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I think it's really cool that you have this parent
counsel tell us about the Parent Council and how it's
going to help parents have a stronger voice in online safety.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yeah, well, this is exactly it, right, We're trying to
reinforce the voice of parents and caregivers, and we really
want to, you know, understand what they're thinking, what they're
saying that goes beyond just what they're reading and the media.
We really want to, you know, demonstrate a proactive approach
to safety and show them what we're thinking about. And
(24:42):
so what's exciting for me is that this parent council,
just like my role, this is the first in industry.
I mean, this has not been done before, at least
not to my knowledge. And like I said, it's more
than fifteen years in the space. We've had teen counsels
and youth councils, and in fact, it was our own
teen counsel that gave this as a suggestion, saying maybe
(25:02):
we should have a parent council. So I'm hoping that
over that one year period I will meet with parents
and caregivers. And I should probably tell you the parents
and caregivers are coming from two different regions, so twenty
from Europe and twenty from America. Canada and the Mexico
and I'm hoping to add other regions later, but let's
(25:25):
see how it goes first. But this idea is to
bring them together, right, and some of our priorities will
be for parents and caregivers from these regions to really
gain valuable skills and insights on the roadblocks platform, understanding
that again it's a platform and not a game, Understanding roadblocks,
(25:46):
products and policy, while at the same time learning about
digital parenting, digital safety, digital wellbeing something else that I
think is really cool and the word and power we
use it all the time. But I really hope that
this will empower parents because they'll have the opportunity to
collaborate with our internal teams and they can help us code,
(26:07):
design and share some of their insights on our platform features. So,
for example, if we share our parental controls or moderation
and we ask them, you know, how do you feel
about this? Is this user friendly enough for you? And
I hope that we'll be able to tweak these things
to really make it as parent friendly as family friendly
as possible. And then I would say the last and
(26:29):
perhaps the most important is that we would love it
if once parents and caregivers understand what the platform is,
understand the benefits and how their children can thrive online.
That they get out there and they educate and engage
with other parents and caregivers in their regions about some
of these topics, and really just the idea in general
(26:50):
is to stay in tune with the trends and needs
of parents everywhere and to empower them to really become
champions of digital safety. I mean, it's it's big. I'm
really excited. It's gonna it's gonna be so much fun.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah, wonderful that you're drawing from these different areas too.
So you really thought this out, of course you did.
But the fact that you did that, I think is
phenomenal and for you, it's got to be interesting to
think think about the results you'll get and the input.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Oh my goodness, absolutely, because just like we've seen with
our teen counsel. In fact, I was even sitting in
the room where we had teen counsel and they were
meeting with some of our internal user experience engineers, and
the engineers you could see them scribbling and taking down
notes as the kids themselves said well, no, we really
don't use it that way, and they were like, wait,
(27:39):
what so, I think we're going to see the same
thing with parents and caregivers, where perhaps we're you know,
always building this platform thinking safety by design, but perhaps
there's something that parents can can help us to upskill
and do it even more safely by design, if you will.
But yeah, it's definitely something that we've been thinking about,
(27:59):
and it's some that I've been thinking about for again
the past fifteen years. Is really, how can we give
parents and caregivers, the people who are right there on
the front lines with our children. How can we give
them the support and the resources that they need.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, and we know we.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Have digital parents listening. Now, what are some steps parents
can take to make sure their kids are safe while
gaming online?
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Sure, I think that I really enjoy this question because
I find that for me, I really want parents to
roll up their sleeves and just get in the game.
I know that we don't all have a lot of time.
I was a mother of two teens. I get it.
But I think that if you keep in mind what
I call the ACE method, which is just awareness, communication
(28:46):
and engagement, that it can go far. So awareness that
means understanding what games your child is playing, understanding and
this You can use this for social media as well.
What platforms are they using? Understand what's out there, what
are the trends. Next is that communication where you are
going to be doing the who, what, where, when and
why with them? Who are they speaking to online? What
(29:08):
are they talking about online? Where are they going why?
You know, what is so exciting about these things? You're
really getting involved in showing them that you are an
active digital guardian. And then lastly is this idea of engagement.
And this is after you've put in your parental controls,
which for me, I love it when parents talk with
their kids and their teens about parental controls and they
(29:31):
do it together. But afterwards, you stay engaged. You become
that trusted adult for them. So that way they know
that if anything happens, any risks, or any concerns, or
even any successes where they finally made that airplane in
the game, that they can share it with you and
that you are their trusted adult. They're trusted champion and cheerleader.
(29:53):
I know it seems like a lot, but I really
believe that parents can do this, that they don't have
to be h digital parenting expert or even a tech
tech expert to want what's best for their children, and
for me, the best way to do that is to
get in the game.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Yeah, and you said it. One of the key tenants
of that is having that conversation communication right, talking to
the kids and figuring out the way to talk to
the kids right to talk about the ads of online safety.
What resources are available to help all of that?
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Oh, yeah, absolutely. I think it's it's just so important
for us to establish those boundaries and balance and you
do that according to your own you know, family values.
And here at Roadblocks, we do have resources on the
Roadblocks dot Com Forward slash Families where they can find
materials for our civility initiatives, our digital wellbeing safety. There's
(30:47):
even videos to walk you through parental controls and you know, newsflash,
we should be updating this in the next three to
four weeks, which will make it even more parent friendly.
And so I'm really excited to be here at Roadblocks
and to guide and be this voice on this new journey.
It's just really exciting for me.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
And let's say that again. Where can people go to
learn more?
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Sure Roadblocks, dot Com Forward slash Families.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Love it, Doc, Thanks so much.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Absolutely A pleasure anytime.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
All right, let's give you an update on what's going
on with Hurricane Melissa. Its early bands have down trees,
triggered landslides, taken out power lines in Jamaica. It is
a nightmare, the worst of the worst, the strongest storm
anywhere so far this year. So there are people that
(31:41):
are getting ready to help Jamaica once this passes. But
the slow tease and dance of the storm that's been
going on for days is now slowly making its way
across the island. The brunt of it will be felt
in the morning hours here on the eastern seaboard is
(32:01):
when they'll really feel it. But they're already feeling the
outer bands and already dealing with evacuations. And they made
sure they got many of the people were told you
got to get the boats out of the harbors, and
they did that.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
They did a good job of that.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I was looking at some of the live cameras and
people did everything they could sort of batten the hatches.
But you really don't stand much of a chance. If
you're talking about one hundred and seventy five mile an
hour winds. Not every part of the island will be
hit with that kind of wind, but a majority of
it certainly will. So it's going to be what happens afterwards,
(32:39):
and what will Jamaica look like, And of course the
people in Jamaica where most are. The most populous region
I should say, is Kingston, but then you have all
the other areas surrounding it that are tourist friendly, not
that Kingston isn't, but where a lot of tourists will go,
(33:00):
like where I was, Otto Rios, and then some of
some of the other Montego Bay, for example, is another
big area that's outside of Kingston, and all of those
areas will be affected. It's just a question of where,
because some areas are more low lying. But boy, the
(33:21):
conditions and just watching as it was approaching is frightening,
and looking at the video of the inside of the
hurricane is in one way almost breathtaking and sickeningly horrifying
as you realize what is headed in that direction. I mean,
(33:42):
really in the later hours, pretty much with the Jamaican officials,
we're telling people with the evacuation, this is a directive
to save your life, and that's it. I mean, you've
got to get out, You've got to find the place
you've got to seek shelter. You can not take a
chance with this. All right, I want to mention again
the President is in Asia, very big trip. Shanai Takiyachi,
(34:07):
who is the Prime Minister, the first female prime minister
of Japan, welcomed our president. They are signing a rare
earth deal for minerals. The United States seeking to limit
dependency on China for the materials, central and components and
everything from cell phones to jet engines.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
So that's a good deal.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
The deal was inked a couple of days before this
meeting with Chinese leader. See of course in South Korea,
which is supposed to be really big, stay with it.
Speaker 11 (34:40):
Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
to look into. And that's Metashare. Maybe you've heard joining
metashere can save you or your family up to five
hundred bucks a month, and that's huge.
Speaker 12 (34:54):
But it's also true. People are just happier with it.
Speaker 11 (34:56):
They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
their values and what they believe in.
Speaker 12 (35:02):
Meta Share works too.
Speaker 11 (35:03):
It's been around for thirty years now and members have
shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
You can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
being happy with how you're taking care of your healthcare.
Whether you're self employed or part of the gig economy,
or you just want to plan that you're happy with.

At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel problems.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
For example, sticktion.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Engine oil can break down under extreme heat, leaving behind varnish,
a carbon based deposit that creates drag on the engines
moving parts. This sticky friction is stiction. Symptoms include a
rough idol and the loss of fuel economy and performance.
Hotshot Secret Stiiction Eliminator is formulated to be left in
the engine. It works as you drive. Stiction Eliminator is

Speaker 7 (37:52):
Now let's talk about the mail. Can we talk about
the mail? Please mac them. We dine and talk about
the mail for you all day.
Speaker 16 (37:56):
Okay ah, yeah, we did have to dig very far.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Leading us off is Kevin.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
He is listening to us in Salt Lake City, so
that it would be ks L Great station one O
two point seven FM.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
keV says Kate.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
People in Salt Lake City, of course, are talking about
all kinds of things, but especially this weird delta situations.
Do you hear the story about the crew member who
accidentally deployed and evacuations slide on Saturday and then people
were trapped on the plane. They were people that were
(38:48):
coming from Salt Lake City. They were trapped at the
gate in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
What a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
I had a friend whose neighbor happened to be on
that flight is what you talk about.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
I think you call them flight mares.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
That is the ultimate flight mare, when you're set to
get off and you can't get off because of a
mistake like that that takes forever to fix.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Apparently. Yeah, Kevin, thanks for bringing that one up. And
you're right.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
There were people from Salt Lake City or people that
were going through Salt Lake City.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
It was in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
It was this Delta flight thirty two forty eight, and
so here you are getting your stuff ready, you know,
when you're ready to unbuckle and jump up, and hitting
the wrong button deployed the giant air bag.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
It filled up.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
There's like a boom when the slide deployed. But it
was a nightmare for the crew too, not just the passengers.
And it's going to cost Delta a lot of money.
I'm certain they say like one hundred thousand dollars at least.
So they didn't really at first they kept saying flight attendant,
but they didn't really specify flight attendant or pilot open
(39:59):
the door without disarming it. That's what happens. So by
not disarming it and the door think they're being opened wrong.
The slide inflates for an emergency evacuation. It's like flipping
kind of a switch, so after landing they disarm or
switch off the slide mechanism. It allows the doors to
be opened normally if an armed door is open from
(40:21):
the inside. Kevin, I'm so glad you brought this up.
I just had somebody have this discussion with me. Even
just by pulling the handle, the slide burst out in
seconds and you can't stop it. So as they try
to figure out what to do on the outside, I mean,
there they are, people are trying to get ready to deplane.
They can't deplane. They have to take care of that.
(40:43):
It took four hours, so people were stuck. And repacking
the undamaged slide can cost like twelve grand I guess
with inspections and all of that. Replacements another twenty thousand.
But they had to rebook passengers, they had to do
the hotel thing. I'm assuming they had to take the
plane out of service because then the slide has to
be reinstalled. So that's where you get maybe the one
(41:05):
hundred thousand dollars. A lot of industry experts are pegging
it as that, but and then you got the costs
of the of everything else in between. If the flight
is canceled and passengers have to be a comedy, that
can increase to like two hundred thousand. And people did
definitely get jammed up by that four hours late. That's
(41:28):
what it showed up as.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Oh, and it's tricky because it's not a major hub.
Delta isnt a major hub there in Pittsburgh. If it
was Atlanta or Detroit, they'd have spare planes easier of
that whole thing.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Oh yeah, that would be. That would be the worst.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Finally, we're here. Yay, we're ready to get off the plane. No, no,
you're not. You're not getting off the plane.
Speaker 7 (41:53):
All right.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
This one is from pat he's listening to us klis
Low Information Station. That would be and wonderful Saint Louis, Missouri.
My man Kelsey Delaney, he did it again. It is
so nice to see my chiefs winning the way they are.
(42:14):
It looked like a pretty lame excuse though, in the
first half of this, because I think they should have
taken it to the commander's blown opportunities. But hey, they
do what they do. They came back in the second
half and roared in a very, very big way. They
look like my Chiefs of old.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Could it be?
Speaker 2 (42:31):
And I don't even want to jinx them. They might
be super Bowl bound. I love that enthusiasm for the
team that you're root for. Yeah, you know what, it's
interesting Kelsey had like ninety nine yards and he got
that eighty third touchdown. Yeah, it was a big night
(42:51):
all the way around for the Chiefs and that second half.
You're right, it was weird because the first half, yeah,
the you know, seven to seven tie, but then it
was a story of two different two different games, and
the Chiefs are going to be in action with the
biggest game of the season. Really they go to Buffalo
(43:13):
to take on the Bills. I mean that's you know,
playoff implications. That's what I think of when I see
the two of them, And I don't know, you know,
could they go to the Super Bowl? Of course they could.
They seem, you know what, they seemed so determined after
being deflated by Philly in that such a lopsided Super Bowl.
(43:34):
They came out flat in the beginning of the season
and then came back. There's something about being tested, right,
And I love Pat Mahomes.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
I mean, no matter what he's he's been.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
My favorite since I had the chance to interview him,
even when he was a kid playing. And the way
he just the way he works it, the way he
systemizes and is such a fine tuned athlete. I mean,
if you want to, if you want to know anything
about Pat Mahomes, watch that quarterbacks thing. I think it's
on Netflix. And then the series about the Chiefs just
(44:09):
it's a I mean, it's just amazing how he gets
himself ready for the season, off season, you know, the
whole thing.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
So yeah, I mean, I'll go there with you. Of course,
the Chiefs could.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
Be contenders, but there are a lot of other contenders
out there too, sitting there as well. All right, let's
go to this one from Murray who is listening to
us k f YZ ninety eight point five FM news
talk in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
Wow, it looks like we just dodged a bullet.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Kita was with my family in Jamaica for five days
two weeks ago, and I suppose when we know it's
hurricane season, there there's always that possibility. People who take cruises,
we weren't on a cruise know the same thing.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
But boy, we had the best time.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
We really had taken all kinds of excursions around the
island with some other people and a tour guide and
saw some amazing things. We did the falls that I've
heard you mentioned and which my wife said was tricky
for her, but the kids loved it.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
And it's very sad to.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Look at Jamaica and think some of the places that
we trampled all around and met people and got chachkes
and ate incredible, you know, chicken jerk and other things
may not be there, and I really really feel for them,
and I know people are going to help, but there's
(45:50):
just nothing you can do until after it passes. And
that's pretty much what the what everybody's waiting for, hoping
that the brunt of it won't be maybe as bad
as it looks, but it looks like a complete nightmare. Yeah,
I think what we were looking at and what I'm
looking at, there's no way around that. It is not good.
(46:13):
It is already getting battered. But these are the outer bands.
And as somebody who knows a little bit about hurricanes
went through one as a kid, but not like I
did in Florida with the back to back hurricanes, where
you you know, are where are you evacuating too? Should
you evacuate? What's happening? Is there going to be a turn?
(46:33):
And there was no turn? I mean this is just
head on going there. So and when you say CAT five,
you if it was here in the States, you just
get out, just drive to another state. I mean they're
on an island, you know. That's the thing about that.
All right, quickly, let's go to this one from Kurt.
He's listening to us Tucson kvo I ten thirty A.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
M kay.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
One thing I have to say to you, real or
fake Christmas trees? That's clever Christmas trees real, of course,
my friend, they're already setting Christmas tree markets up. I
am all about the real. I hate fake Christmas trees.
I get why people get them easier. You don't have
all the stuff that you have to go and drag
the tree in. But bahum bug. It was a big
(47:20):
deal to my mother. It reminds me of my mother
and my family growing up. My favorite time Christmas, besides
of course Turkey time Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
So yeah, absolutely, thumbs up. All right. Pre market bell.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
Down, futures down point oh four percent, zero four percent,
SMP futures down point zero four percent, NASTEC futures up
zero point one percent. Minuscule numbers. I say that all
the time, right, So stock futures really is somebody was
analyzing it just in The futures not really changed at
this point because we're notching record highs are indexes at
(47:57):
this point. Negative news would be Amazon. They're gonna announce
their largest layoff in company history. They're gonna lay off
thirty thousand people. Right, We've got earnings reports coming up.
Of course, Wednesday is the big announcement from the FEDS.
Is there gonna be an interest rate cut? I believe
there will be. So there's a lot of positive things
(48:18):
that are happening bouncing off some of the negative things
that are happening. Thanks to the Minnesota Two, Jason and
Daniel for their work on the technicals as always, and
all of you for listening to this show.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Make it count. Everybody
Honey bashes two home run balls.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
For the Dodgers and boy trying to make history there.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
As the World Series Game three in.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Los Angeles continues to roll on, It's an extra frames,
bottom of the tenth plus Travis Kelce makes history, and
so do the Chiefs with their win over the Commanders
on Monday Night Football. Hey, hey, everybody, I'm Kate Delaney
here on America tonight, And as we always do, we
(00:39):
start first with the rundown. Yeah, and you kind of
heard that the machine was already starting up in the studio.
Hurricane Melissa awful. It's said to be the worst storm
to ever hit Jamaica and the worst storm on the
(01:02):
planet right now, as some have described it, because we're
talking about winds of one hundred and seventy five miles
an hour.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
It is bearing down.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
As this leaves my lips category five already, the outer
bands have it, powers out many many areas, Trees are down.
Its catastrophic winds, rains, flooding, all of that is starting
to happen.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Storm surge.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
The brunt of it, where I'm saying, the one hundred
and seventy five happens a handful of hours from now.
But you know, the US Embassy in Jamaica, there are
Americans there, tourists that are trapped, says Americans should be
prepared to shelter in place. You have the Jamaican Prime
Minister urging residents to obey evacuation orders.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
To take a listen, safety is priority.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I'm being smart.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Helps a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, being smart because trying to to somehow get away
when already gets too late. Just having to be able
to stay in place and hopefully someplace where you are
away from the wall of water that has already started
to hit Jamaica because of the outer bands in Tampa, Florida.
(02:17):
There are many people, as there are across this great
country who have friends and family in Jamaica who live
in Jamaica. Here's a couple that shared their thoughts on
talking to family.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I literally just got off before my sister. Everybody is racing.
The government of Jamaica is telling everybody do not jamble
with this one. This one looks like a big.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
One, looks like a big one. And this woman had
the same sentiment.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Very because it's like a handsa tie, you know, so
you can the best thing you can do for in
the situation.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
For Jamaica's just pray for Jamaica.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Pray for Jamaica, and we all are doing that. You
see it all over social media. People have posted some
of the ferocious renderings of the giant, massive hurricane where
it's red in the center and it's twirling and it's
right there about to take over Jamaica. So evacuation orders
(03:15):
of course applying to Port Royal and Kingston, Portland Cottage
and Rocky Point in Clarendon, Old Harbor Bay.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And Saint Catharine.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Some of these names of me sound familiar to many
of you have spent time in Jamaica. So evacuation orders,
it's just very direct, save your life, remove yourself from
communities that are extremely vulnerable, low lying, flood prone areas.
I've always wanted to go to Jamaica my whole life.
I've had the pleasure of visiting many wonderful places. It
(03:45):
was on my list, and four months ago I went
to Jamaica. I got to see Jamaica. It was amazing.
Where we were reggae hill. I'm sure we'll get wiped out.
I hate to say that, maybe I'm wrong. And then
Dun's falls incredible nine hundred fifty feet hiking up.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
It just the beauty blew my mind.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And you know this is in an area Ocho Rios
where they may get they're gonna get hit with it,
but they may be lucky except for in those low
lying areas, right. I mean, listen, it's so bad that
in a US Air Force Reserve crew known as the
Hurricane Hunters, flew through the eye of Hurricane Melissa on Monday,
(04:25):
but there was another crew that couldn't go because too
much turbulence with the kind of hurricane that we are
talking about, Cat five, Cat five, I'm going to say
it again, one hundred and seventy mile an hour wins.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
All right, we move to our own catastrophe that is
happening in this country with the government shutdown, because we
know November first, more than forty million people won't get
those snap benefits. Families are worried. There are food banks
that are getting a lot of food donations, thank goodness,
all over the country. But then there's people working at
and volunteering because because the government is shut down. This
(05:10):
is one of the many things that have happened. Scott Bessett,
the Secretary of the Treasury, said this about where we're at.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
They've dug in the American people are hostage to Chuck
Schumer and King Jeffery's poll numbers. Both of the two
guys from Brooklyn, like I call them, are worried about
being primary from the left. Fifty two Republican Senators have
voted eleven times to reopen the government, three brave moderate
Democrats who come across the aisle. So I call on
(05:41):
moderate Democratic senators to end this craziness.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You'll be heroes, all right, But it hasn't ended. Nothing new.
There is no movement. There's still more of the war
of words happening, and that's it. So it's about the
people and the people who are furloughed, not getting checks
or even helping other people. Jenna Norton. I happen to
catch her on the tube today. She's with the Natural
Institutes of Health. She talked about the fact that of
(06:07):
course she's not getting a paycheck, but she was worried
about other people.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
I am not showing up to work, and I've been
trying to use that time to work with some of
my colleagues to make sure that we're you know, giving
back two folks who aren't able to afford their day
to day necessities. So you know, we've been working together
with an organization called twenty seven United, which is an
(06:33):
NIHL alumni organization to volunteer at food banks and other
organizations that need extra support during this time.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, So while that's happening, you have air traffic control
staffing problems that have really spiked a lot of concerns
about more disruptions. Dallas Fort Worth they had delays of
over an hour in the morning and that bled into
the afternoon because of the lack of air traffic controllers.
More than fifty staffing shortages have been reported since Friday morning,
(07:04):
causing delays from LA to Washington.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
DC.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Controllers are considered essential workers, so they have to work
during the shutdown, but they're not getting paid. And flights
for Los Angeles International Airport temporarily had to be completely
stopped on Sunday because of the staffing shortage. So imagine
that you're on a plane and I guess you're circling
around or going someplace else because you couldn't do anything.
(07:28):
You couldn't land at Reagan National Airport in Arlington, they
had staffing problems. It caused a ground delay Sunday that
lasted at one point because it got later in the day,
it lasted until midnight. So there have been a lot
of problems as a result of that. And because like
I mentioned, thousands of federal employees unpaid or furloughed. There's
(07:52):
a break in that food assistance that is happening. So
then there's the banks that are overflowing. I'll tell your
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, he looks pretty weary, he said
over the weekend. Controllers are wearing thin and calling and
sick as they continue to go without pay for what
is difficult, complex work. And that's the key, complex work,
(08:12):
that is the key. The President is in Asia. He
met with the first female Prime Minister of Japan.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The relationships there are good.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
There's a deal being cut with China, so those extreme
tariffs are off the table. That's the good news. There's
a very big historic trip, no question about that. Coming
up next. A view from the cheap seats, A whole
bunch of different things.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Something unique on the flip.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (08:57):
Actually three known gas is doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
is a gas that's readily made all day long to
keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
(09:21):
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
precious gas, and in turn blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah. Since Halloween is coming up at the end of
the week, as we cruise into things on my mind
from the cheap seats, this has been on my mind.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I've read a lot about UFOs. I've talked to experts.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
About unidentified flying objects, unidentified submerged objects, you get it,
things that we can't explain. Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for
the Pittsburgh Steelers, now says that he and a friend,
and the friend verifies this, stepped out of a place
(12:45):
that they were staying in New Jersey and they saw
a UFO shoot across the sky and they both swear
by it. Other people in that same area reported UFO
sightings too as well. Do we believe in UFOs are
just the Is it just the crazies that think that
there are UFOs?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Why don't we believe in UFOs?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Is it a scientific impossibility or is it just our
ego that stops us for entertaining the idea. But yet
we are many of us fascinated by it, and that's
why it's exploited so often on the big screen because
people will go and see shows that deal with UFOs,
especially in a comical way or a childlike what way
(13:31):
if you think of E T and Steven Spielberg. Right,
And it just made me think in my head because
I know I'll see a lot of aliens that will
come to the door, I hope, because I got that
candy I can't eat. So it made me think, how
would I react if I had an Aaron Rodgers moment
(13:51):
if it really was an Aaron Rodgers' moment that he
saw that, Right, And I was looking up some stuff
about UFOs and looking through our files of people that
we have talked to, and it's interesting because I used
to live in Las Vegas, and Nevada is a place
where people say they see more UFOs or report them
(14:13):
than anyplace else. And in fact, the Mahave Desert, the
Mojave Desert, is what they talk about. They talk about
that there's something that's weird that they'll look up. They'll
see this cloud formation that looks like a flying saucer,
and they really think that they're seeing a flying saucer.
Are they hallucinating? Do they want to see something weird?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
What is?
Speaker 7 (14:37):
You know?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
What is the deal?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And there's a highway it's called Exterrestrial Highway. It's one
hundred and forty mile ribbon of road in south central
Nevada and it's just outside of Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I know it well.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
It runs through one of the darkest and really scariest,
most desolate stretches of the United States States, and it's
famous for alien encounters. Since the fifties, there have been
more reports of UFO sightings there than anywhere else in
the country. Skeptics will say that UFOs are probably just
super stealth aircraft from Nellis Air Force Base. Ufologists that
(15:21):
name is people who believe in aliens have a different
kind of explanation. They say that that's the place where
it's the outer corners of the universe, so that's why
they would come there. And some believe the proximity to
the Nevada Test and Training Range and of course Area
fifty one, the top secret base that the US Central
(15:42):
Intelligence Agency didn't admit was real until twenty thirteen. We
used to have my friend and he stills my friend,
Bob Nay, the former Congressman from Ohio on the show,
and I asked him about that one time, and he
said that he would never reveal what he knew about
Area fifty one. And he said that even his sons
(16:03):
couldn't get it out of him. So some who have
worked at Area fifty one couldn't keep their mouths shut though.
They claim it is home to an alien spacecraft and
possibly even a dead alien.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Think Independence Day.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Others have linked the site to a nineteen forty seven
incident near Roswell, New Mexico, that led to a bunch
of conspiracy theories about the government's role in covering up
what some thought was the crash of an alien space ship.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Right think X files. The truth is.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Out there, So I think if you want to find
out for yourself, you need to go down Extraterrestrial Highway.
It is very creepy. I will tell you. I have definitely,
you know, driven it. If you leave from Las Vegas,
you had north on I fifteen, go right past downtown,
(16:58):
go past the Las Vegas Speedway. Then you go on
ninety three and go eighty five miles north through the
desert to a place called Eli And there's just I mean,
it's nothing. You see sand and sagebrush and juniper and
prickly pears and that kind of thing. It's dark, it's dry,
(17:20):
it's creepy. It is creepy. In fact, they that used
to be the whole deal of the joke, that there
were a lot of bodies buried out there, right, And
because it's Halloween, it made me think of this. Like
I said, this is my view from the cheap seat,
something that I have pondered, and I have asked other people.
(17:40):
I've asked military people.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I know when I was out a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
At Vandenberg Air Force Base, and they believe that sometimes
it's not at all what we think. It's something errant.
It's something that just we can't process. I can't process it.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Right. Do I want that moment in close encounters? No? No, No,
I do not want that moment? Right. No.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
And you think about the two thousand and nine movie
The Men Who Stare at Goats, right, and it's you're
talking about there where they're interviewing people who report alien
sightings across the country and you talk to how many
five thousand people? And this is based on The Men
(18:32):
Who's Derek Goats is loosely based on this group that
did that when they were working inside Area fifty one.
So there is a guy named George Harris who's a
US Army vet and local entrepreneur. And you know, you
go down that route and he's someone who was in
the army and did that where he interviewed those people,
(18:55):
and that is again loosely based on the men who
stare at goats. And it's interesting if you go to
if you find him, if you seek him out, and
you can. Zork stands forty feet high outside the Alien
Research Center founded by Harris, and like I said, he
(19:15):
was the one who interviewed so many people about alien
sightings across the country. You know, there is lots of
lore and alien history and sign from the nineties that
hangs inside, surrounded by handwritten messages on the wall. And
I mean it's more like a gift shop, I would say, now.
(19:37):
And of course, what do they have alien themed clothing
and magnets and hot sauce that kind of stuff and shotglasses.
Why not he has a brand, and why not have
a tequila that is in the bottle is shaped like
alien heads. Because people are searching, People are searching for something,
(19:58):
people want to believe that there is something out there,
or they don't want to believe there is something out there,
And I wonder where you fall.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
As far as that's concerned.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
The no, thank you, I don't want to know, or
I think there's something out there, and maybe I'll go
get me a chot ski even if it's tacky and
it's a green head and it's a magnet or it's
a mug or it's a hat or it's a whatever,
I'll go do it.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I'll go out there to that highway.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I'm gonna believe I'm going to poke around those dirt
roads and disappear into the desert. And you know, I
think the question is just make sure you leave some
sort of breadcrumbs so you know how to get back,
because it's so easy to get lost on your search
for aliens or the truth. That could be pretty tricky
(20:51):
in itself, all right, Like I said, view from the
cheap seats something I'm pondering, and nobody will answer the
question that I know that would be privy to that
information as too. Is there really a spaceship at Area
fifty one or not? The Washington commanders taken on the
Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City already, you know, not
(21:14):
good for them. For Travis Kelcey touchdown number eighty three. Oh,
what a victory for them because they're five and three
now where they've really turned things around. Pat mahomes through
for two hundred and ninety nine yards on Monday Night football,
three touchdowns, Kareem Hunt found the end zone twice.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
And how about that.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
The game was tied at the halfway point, and then
it ended up very lopsided again twenty eight to seven
in favor of the Chiefs. And huge for Travis Kelsey
because he gets number eighty three to tie Priest Homes
for the Chiefs career record. And by the way, another
touchdown went to Rashid Rice, who caught nine passes for
(21:57):
ninety three yards in his second game from a six
game NFL suspension. So while that is happening in Major
League Baseball, Wow, what a game. Extra innings were right now.
That's why I love live baby. We're right now and
(22:18):
the top of the twelfth the Blue Jays and the
Dodgers are tied at five, tying the game. Of course,
show hey o'tani with his second home run? All right,
coming up next gaming and parenting something very very interesting
tips for parents stay with us, so think about gaming
(23:02):
and some of the conversations that we've had on this show.
I am really excited to introduce to you doctor Elizabeth Milavidov,
who is the global head of parental Advocacy for Roadblocks
and we have talked about this again on this show
so much so it's so important for us to keep
doing that because she's got some great tips for parents
(23:25):
to keep their kids safe while gaming online. Doc, thanks
so much for coming on.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Oh, it's an absolute pleasure. Love talking to digital parents.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
So what is your role at Roblox and why is
it so important right now?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
So my role I am, as you said, the global
head of parental Advocacy, and my role is really to
be the voice of parents and caregivers within Rollblocks, to
really listen to to parental concerns and to sort of
be that bridge to go back and forth between parent
(24:00):
in communities and our Roadblocks teams and let them know,
you know, what can we do to listen and learn
and what can we do to really improve the Roblocks
experience for digital families.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I think it's really cool that you have this parent
counsel tell us about the Parent Council and how it's
going to help parents have a stronger voice in online safety.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yeah, well, this is exactly it, right, We're trying to
reinforce the voice of parents and caregivers, and we really
want to, you know, understand what they're thinking, what they're
saying that goes beyond just what they're reading and the media.
We really want to, you know, demonstrate a proactive approach
to safety and show them what we're thinking about. And
(24:42):
so what's exciting for me is that this parent council,
just like my role, this is the first in industry.
I mean, this has not been done before, at least
not to my knowledge. And like I said, it's more
than fifteen years in the space. We've had teen counsels
and youth councils, and in fact, it was our own
teen counsel that gave this as a suggestion, saying maybe
(25:02):
we should have a parent council. So I'm hoping that
over that one year period I will meet with parents
and caregivers. And I should probably tell you the parents
and caregivers are coming from two different regions, so twenty
from Europe and twenty from America. Canada and the Mexico
and I'm hoping to add other regions later, but let's
(25:25):
see how it goes first. But this idea is to
bring them together, right, and some of our priorities will
be for parents and caregivers from these regions to really
gain valuable skills and insights on the roadblocks platform, understanding
that again it's a platform and not a game, Understanding roadblocks,
(25:46):
products and policy, while at the same time learning about
digital parenting, digital safety, digital wellbeing something else that I
think is really cool and the word and power we
use it all the time. But I really hope that
this will empower parents because they'll have the opportunity to
collaborate with our internal teams and they can help us code,
(26:07):
design and share some of their insights on our platform features. So,
for example, if we share our parental controls or moderation
and we ask them, you know, how do you feel
about this? Is this user friendly enough for you? And
I hope that we'll be able to tweak these things
to really make it as parent friendly as family friendly
as possible. And then I would say the last and
(26:29):
perhaps the most important is that we would love it
if once parents and caregivers understand what the platform is,
understand the benefits and how their children can thrive online.
That they get out there and they educate and engage
with other parents and caregivers in their regions about some
of these topics, and really just the idea in general
(26:50):
is to stay in tune with the trends and needs
of parents everywhere and to empower them to really become
champions of digital safety. I mean, it's it's big. I'm
really excited. It's gonna it's gonna be so much fun.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah, wonderful that you're drawing from these different areas too.
So you really thought this out, of course you did.
But the fact that you did that, I think is
phenomenal and for you, it's got to be interesting to
think think about the results you'll get and the input.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Oh my goodness, absolutely, because just like we've seen with
our teen counsel. In fact, I was even sitting in
the room where we had teen counsel and they were
meeting with some of our internal user experience engineers, and
the engineers you could see them scribbling and taking down
notes as the kids themselves said well, no, we really
don't use it that way, and they were like, wait,
(27:39):
what so, I think we're going to see the same
thing with parents and caregivers, where perhaps we're you know,
always building this platform thinking safety by design, but perhaps
there's something that parents can can help us to upskill
and do it even more safely by design, if you will.
But yeah, it's definitely something that we've been thinking about,
(27:59):
and it's some that I've been thinking about for again
the past fifteen years. Is really, how can we give
parents and caregivers, the people who are right there on
the front lines with our children. How can we give
them the support and the resources that they need.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, and we know we.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Have digital parents listening. Now, what are some steps parents
can take to make sure their kids are safe while
gaming online?
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Sure, I think that I really enjoy this question because
I find that for me, I really want parents to
roll up their sleeves and just get in the game.
I know that we don't all have a lot of time.
I was a mother of two teens. I get it.
But I think that if you keep in mind what
I call the ACE method, which is just awareness, communication
(28:46):
and engagement, that it can go far. So awareness that
means understanding what games your child is playing, understanding and
this You can use this for social media as well.
What platforms are they using? Understand what's out there, what
are the trends. Next is that communication where you are
going to be doing the who, what, where, when and
why with them? Who are they speaking to online? What
(29:08):
are they talking about online? Where are they going why?
You know, what is so exciting about these things? You're
really getting involved in showing them that you are an
active digital guardian. And then lastly is this idea of engagement.
And this is after you've put in your parental controls,
which for me, I love it when parents talk with
their kids and their teens about parental controls and they
(29:31):
do it together. But afterwards, you stay engaged. You become
that trusted adult for them. So that way they know
that if anything happens, any risks, or any concerns, or
even any successes where they finally made that airplane in
the game, that they can share it with you and
that you are their trusted adult. They're trusted champion and cheerleader.
(29:53):
I know it seems like a lot, but I really
believe that parents can do this, that they don't have
to be h digital parenting expert or even a tech
tech expert to want what's best for their children, and
for me, the best way to do that is to
get in the game.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Yeah, and you said it. One of the key tenants
of that is having that conversation communication right, talking to
the kids and figuring out the way to talk to
the kids right to talk about the ads of online safety.
What resources are available to help all of that?
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Oh, yeah, absolutely. I think it's it's just so important
for us to establish those boundaries and balance and you
do that according to your own you know, family values.
And here at Roadblocks, we do have resources on the
Roadblocks dot Com Forward slash Families where they can find
materials for our civility initiatives, our digital wellbeing safety. There's
(30:47):
even videos to walk you through parental controls and you know, newsflash,
we should be updating this in the next three to
four weeks, which will make it even more parent friendly.
And so I'm really excited to be here at Roadblocks
and to guide and be this voice on this new journey.
It's just really exciting for me.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
And let's say that again. Where can people go to
learn more?
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Sure Roadblocks, dot Com Forward slash Families.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Love it, Doc, Thanks so much.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Absolutely A pleasure anytime.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
All right, let's give you an update on what's going
on with Hurricane Melissa. Its early bands have down trees,
triggered landslides, taken out power lines in Jamaica. It is
a nightmare, the worst of the worst, the strongest storm
anywhere so far this year. So there are people that
(31:41):
are getting ready to help Jamaica once this passes. But
the slow tease and dance of the storm that's been
going on for days is now slowly making its way
across the island. The brunt of it will be felt
in the morning hours here on the eastern seaboard is
(32:01):
when they'll really feel it. But they're already feeling the
outer bands and already dealing with evacuations. And they made
sure they got many of the people were told you
got to get the boats out of the harbors, and
they did that.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
They did a good job of that.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I was looking at some of the live cameras and
people did everything they could sort of batten the hatches.
But you really don't stand much of a chance. If
you're talking about one hundred and seventy five mile an
hour winds. Not every part of the island will be
hit with that kind of wind, but a majority of
it certainly will. So it's going to be what happens afterwards,
(32:39):
and what will Jamaica look like, And of course the
people in Jamaica where most are. The most populous region
I should say, is Kingston, but then you have all
the other areas surrounding it that are tourist friendly, not
that Kingston isn't, but where a lot of tourists will go,
(33:00):
like where I was, Otto Rios, and then some of
some of the other Montego Bay, for example, is another
big area that's outside of Kingston, and all of those
areas will be affected. It's just a question of where,
because some areas are more low lying. But boy, the
(33:21):
conditions and just watching as it was approaching is frightening,
and looking at the video of the inside of the
hurricane is in one way almost breathtaking and sickeningly horrifying
as you realize what is headed in that direction. I mean,
(33:42):
really in the later hours, pretty much with the Jamaican officials,
we're telling people with the evacuation, this is a directive
to save your life, and that's it. I mean, you've
got to get out, You've got to find the place
you've got to seek shelter. You can not take a
chance with this. All right, I want to mention again
the President is in Asia, very big trip. Shanai Takiyachi,
(34:07):
who is the Prime Minister, the first female prime minister
of Japan, welcomed our president. They are signing a rare
earth deal for minerals. The United States seeking to limit
dependency on China for the materials, central and components and
everything from cell phones to jet engines.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
So that's a good deal.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
The deal was inked a couple of days before this
meeting with Chinese leader. See of course in South Korea,
which is supposed to be really big, stay with it.
Speaker 11 (34:40):
Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
to look into. And that's Metashare. Maybe you've heard joining
metashere can save you or your family up to five
hundred bucks a month, and that's huge.
Speaker 12 (34:54):
But it's also true. People are just happier with it.
Speaker 11 (34:56):
They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
their values and what they believe in.
Speaker 12 (35:02):
Meta Share works too.
Speaker 11 (35:03):
It's been around for thirty years now and members have
shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
You can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
being happy with how you're taking care of your healthcare.

Speaker 7 (37:52):
Now let's talk about the mail. Can we talk about
the mail? Please mac them. We dine and talk about
the mail for you all day.
Speaker 16 (37:56):
Okay ah, yeah, we did have to dig very far.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Leading us off is Kevin.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
He is listening to us in Salt Lake City, so
that it would be ks L Great station one O
two point seven FM.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
keV says Kate.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
People in Salt Lake City, of course, are talking about
all kinds of things, but especially this weird delta situations.
Do you hear the story about the crew member who
accidentally deployed and evacuations slide on Saturday and then people
were trapped on the plane. They were people that were
(38:48):
coming from Salt Lake City. They were trapped at the
gate in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
What a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
I had a friend whose neighbor happened to be on
that flight is what you talk about.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
I think you call them flight mares.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
That is the ultimate flight mare, when you're set to
get off and you can't get off because of a
mistake like that that takes forever to fix.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Apparently. Yeah, Kevin, thanks for bringing that one up. And
you're right.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
There were people from Salt Lake City or people that
were going through Salt Lake City.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
It was in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
It was this Delta flight thirty two forty eight, and
so here you are getting your stuff ready, you know,
when you're ready to unbuckle and jump up, and hitting
the wrong button deployed the giant air bag.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
It filled up.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
There's like a boom when the slide deployed. But it
was a nightmare for the crew too, not just the passengers.
And it's going to cost Delta a lot of money.
I'm certain they say like one hundred thousand dollars at least.
So they didn't really at first they kept saying flight attendant,
but they didn't really specify flight attendant or pilot open
(39:59):
the door without disarming it. That's what happens. So by
not disarming it and the door think they're being opened wrong.
The slide inflates for an emergency evacuation. It's like flipping
kind of a switch, so after landing they disarm or
switch off the slide mechanism. It allows the doors to
be opened normally if an armed door is open from
(40:21):
the inside. Kevin, I'm so glad you brought this up.
I just had somebody have this discussion with me. Even
just by pulling the handle, the slide burst out in
seconds and you can't stop it. So as they try
to figure out what to do on the outside, I mean,
there they are, people are trying to get ready to deplane.
They can't deplane. They have to take care of that.
(40:43):
It took four hours, so people were stuck. And repacking
the undamaged slide can cost like twelve grand I guess
with inspections and all of that. Replacements another twenty thousand.
But they had to rebook passengers, they had to do
the hotel thing. I'm assuming they had to take the
plane out of service because then the slide has to
be reinstalled. So that's where you get maybe the one
(41:05):
hundred thousand dollars. A lot of industry experts are pegging
it as that, but and then you got the costs
of the of everything else in between. If the flight
is canceled and passengers have to be a comedy, that
can increase to like two hundred thousand. And people did
definitely get jammed up by that four hours late. That's
(41:28):
what it showed up as.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Oh, and it's tricky because it's not a major hub.
Delta isnt a major hub there in Pittsburgh. If it
was Atlanta or Detroit, they'd have spare planes easier of
that whole thing.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Oh yeah, that would be. That would be the worst.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Finally, we're here. Yay, we're ready to get off the plane. No, no,
you're not. You're not getting off the plane.
Speaker 7 (41:53):
All right.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
This one is from pat he's listening to us klis
Low Information Station. That would be and wonderful Saint Louis, Missouri.
My man Kelsey Delaney, he did it again. It is
so nice to see my chiefs winning the way they are.
(42:14):
It looked like a pretty lame excuse though, in the
first half of this, because I think they should have
taken it to the commander's blown opportunities. But hey, they
do what they do. They came back in the second
half and roared in a very, very big way. They
look like my Chiefs of old.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Could it be?
Speaker 2 (42:31):
And I don't even want to jinx them. They might
be super Bowl bound. I love that enthusiasm for the
team that you're root for. Yeah, you know what, it's
interesting Kelsey had like ninety nine yards and he got
that eighty third touchdown. Yeah, it was a big night
(42:51):
all the way around for the Chiefs and that second half.
You're right, it was weird because the first half, yeah,
the you know, seven to seven tie, but then it
was a story of two different two different games, and
the Chiefs are going to be in action with the
biggest game of the season. Really they go to Buffalo
(43:13):
to take on the Bills. I mean that's you know,
playoff implications. That's what I think of when I see
the two of them, And I don't know, you know,
could they go to the Super Bowl? Of course they could.
They seem, you know what, they seemed so determined after
being deflated by Philly in that such a lopsided Super Bowl.
(43:34):
They came out flat in the beginning of the season
and then came back. There's something about being tested, right,
And I love Pat Mahomes.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
I mean, no matter what he's he's been.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
My favorite since I had the chance to interview him,
even when he was a kid playing. And the way
he just the way he works it, the way he
systemizes and is such a fine tuned athlete. I mean,
if you want to, if you want to know anything
about Pat Mahomes, watch that quarterbacks thing. I think it's
on Netflix. And then the series about the Chiefs just
(44:09):
it's a I mean, it's just amazing how he gets
himself ready for the season, off season, you know, the
whole thing.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
So yeah, I mean, I'll go there with you. Of course,
the Chiefs could.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
Be contenders, but there are a lot of other contenders
out there too, sitting there as well. All right, let's
go to this one from Murray who is listening to
us k f YZ ninety eight point five FM news
talk in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
Wow, it looks like we just dodged a bullet.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Kita was with my family in Jamaica for five days
two weeks ago, and I suppose when we know it's
hurricane season, there there's always that possibility. People who take cruises,
we weren't on a cruise know the same thing.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
But boy, we had the best time.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
We really had taken all kinds of excursions around the
island with some other people and a tour guide and
saw some amazing things. We did the falls that I've
heard you mentioned and which my wife said was tricky
for her, but the kids loved it.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
And it's very sad to.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Look at Jamaica and think some of the places that
we trampled all around and met people and got chachkes
and ate incredible, you know, chicken jerk and other things
may not be there, and I really really feel for them,
and I know people are going to help, but there's
(45:50):
just nothing you can do until after it passes. And
that's pretty much what the what everybody's waiting for, hoping
that the brunt of it won't be maybe as bad
as it looks, but it looks like a complete nightmare. Yeah,
I think what we were looking at and what I'm
looking at, there's no way around that. It is not good.
(46:13):
It is already getting battered. But these are the outer bands.
And as somebody who knows a little bit about hurricanes
went through one as a kid, but not like I
did in Florida with the back to back hurricanes, where
you you know, are where are you evacuating too? Should
you evacuate? What's happening? Is there going to be a turn?
(46:33):
And there was no turn? I mean this is just
head on going there. So and when you say CAT five,
you if it was here in the States, you just
get out, just drive to another state. I mean they're
on an island, you know. That's the thing about that.
All right, quickly, let's go to this one from Kurt.
He's listening to us Tucson kvo I ten thirty A.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
M kay.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
One thing I have to say to you, real or
fake Christmas trees? That's clever Christmas trees real, of course,
my friend, they're already setting Christmas tree markets up. I
am all about the real. I hate fake Christmas trees.
I get why people get them easier. You don't have
all the stuff that you have to go and drag
the tree in. But bahum bug. It was a big
(47:20):
deal to my mother. It reminds me of my mother
and my family growing up. My favorite time Christmas, besides
of course Turkey time Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
So yeah, absolutely, thumbs up. All right. Pre market bell.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
Down, futures down point oh four percent, zero four percent,
SMP futures down point zero four percent, NASTEC futures up
zero point one percent. Minuscule numbers. I say that all
the time, right, So stock futures really is somebody was
analyzing it just in The futures not really changed at
this point because we're notching record highs are indexes at
(47:57):
this point. Negative news would be Amazon. They're gonna announce
their largest layoff in company history. They're gonna lay off
thirty thousand people. Right, We've got earnings reports coming up.
Of course, Wednesday is the big announcement from the FEDS.
Is there gonna be an interest rate cut? I believe
there will be. So there's a lot of positive things
(48:18):
that are happening bouncing off some of the negative things
that are happening. Thanks to the Minnesota Two, Jason and
Daniel for their work on the technicals as always, and
all of you for listening to this show.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
