Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
In Lukewan, Mary said, in verse forty six, my soul
magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior,
for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed,
for He has done great things for me. And holy
is his name. God's been so so, so, so so

(00:33):
so good to me. When I heard the song, it
just it brought back that expression of Mary upon learning that,
despite being a virgin, despite the scorn that would be
thrown upon her, the child she carried was conceived of

(00:59):
the Holy Spirit, and she correctly said, generations will call
me blessed. Yeah, that's a good way to start the day.
Good morning, friends, I'm Preston, He's ose. Welcome to the

(01:23):
Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Twelve past the hour. It is show fifty four thirty two.
For those of you counting, not that I am August fifteenth,
pay day for many, So what do we have here?
In the American Patriots Almanac. On this date in eighteen fourteen,
Andrew Jackson assumes command of the American troops at New

(02:03):
Orleans during the War of eighteen twelve eighteen forty six.
The first newspaper in California, the Californian. They dug deep
for that title, didn't they. What do you want to
call this newspaper? I don't know, say, Bob, how long

(02:26):
you been here in California? In California a few months now?
Nothing inspires you as far as a title for the newspaper. Huh, nope, nope,
don't have any ideas, Okay, California. Nineteen fourteen, Panama Canal

(02:54):
officially opens to traffic. Nineteen thirty nine. MGM's Wizard of
Oz premieres at Graelman's Chinese Theory or in Hollywood. They
had to change the name of that. By the way,
it was called Grammans until it became politically incorrect to
call it Grammans Chinese Theater. Can't do that. Nineteen four

(03:14):
I can't even imagine, because the Wizard of Oz to
this day is cool, even though there are parts like
the flying monkeys are a little creepy and Margaret Hamilton man
your little dog too. I mean it's creepy, right, But
if you put it in the context of nineteen thirty nine,

(03:35):
when that hit and you were looking black and white,
and then all of a sudden it goes to color
as it does in the movie. Now, that had to
just blow people's minds back in the day color and
then the little people come walking around. Oh my. Nineteen

(04:00):
forty five, the Allies proclaimed the Day after Japan agrees
to Unconditional Surrender VJ Day victory over Japan. And in
nineteen sixty nine, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair opens
up in upstate New York. So there you go this
date in history. It is as well, National leather Craft Day, Okay,

(04:25):
all right, National Lemon merangue pie Day.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
No, I can handle a lemon pound cake if it's
nicely frosted, I would say no. I mean I but
lemon merangue pie. No, No, But hey, if that's your thing,
this is your day. And today is National Relaxation Day.

(04:57):
Perfect when we come back, did you know? And it
happened again? Someone went to Arkansas digging for diamonds. Only
this story beats any story I've ever heard, and not
because of the diamond found. You've got to hear it.

(05:19):
Next sixteen past the hour, good boydie, it's what's the
bee Friday? In the Morning.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Show, Good Morning told Jose wants showback.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Come on, come on, come on, come on, got things
to talk about here. Did you know that Pete Best?
Some of you do know this. Some of you are
absolutely music nerds, and you know this trivia. I didn't
know this. Did you know that Pete Best was the
original for the Beatles Fired in nineteen sixty two, Ringo

(06:06):
Star replaced him Beatles Invade America. Best went on to
form the Pete Best four. How'd that work out for him?
It's is crazy, right, just how one little detour in
the path. He's probably just thrilled. I found that interesting,

(06:29):
all right. Crater of the Diamonds State Park, Arkansas, Murphrey's Borough, Arkansas.
We've talked about it is the only place in the
world where you can go and literally go explore to

(06:49):
find diamonds. It's a crazy backstory. But Sherry Fox of
Manhattan two years ago decided, I want to find my
own diamond ring. I want to find the diamond for

(07:10):
my ring myself, and so in July this year, she
traveled the Crater of Diamond State Park and Murphreysboro. It's
the only public site in the world where visitors can
look for and find and keep any diamond they dig up.

(07:31):
You pay a small fee of the state park. You
can rent a little kit that you dig and you
screen it and you find rocks and maybe you find
a diamond. Maybe. In its history, since becoming a state
park in nineteen seventy two, thirty five thousand diamonds have

(07:54):
been found, including the record breaking forty point two you
three carret Uncle Sam diamond. So, she arrived July eighth,
and she set aside three weeks to go there every
day until she found something. She had been there twenty

(08:21):
one days, and on the twenty first day, on July
twenty ninth, having not found her diamond, she's walking a
thirty seven and a half acre state park. And we've
told you that they'll turn up the dirt every now
and then, and timing it so that you hit it
right after rainfall can be invaluable because they turn over

(08:44):
the soil and the rain then washes the dirt down
a little bit, and you might sun pops out, you
might catch a glint. They'll uncover more diamonds, and so
the timing of it is everything. But she spotted a
little glint in the dirt. She thought at first it

(09:04):
might be a do covered spider web, you knoww that happens,
those little tiny little webs that you find on dirt, soil,
grass and all that. But it didn't fade. She nudged
it with her boot, picked it up. She said, I've
never seen an actual diamond in my hands. I didn't
know for sure, and then she went on to say
it was the most diamondy, diamond y diamond I've ever seen.

(09:28):
She went to the Diamond Discovery Center. They have actual
geologists that work for the State Park Service there that
can look at all stones brought by visitors and say, yes, no,
this is what you have this and they weigh at everything,
and she found a Oftentimes they're brown diamonds. We've talked

(09:49):
about that. This was a white, colorless diamond, weighing more
than two carrots two point three more than thirty five sorry,
more than three hundred and fifty diamonds have been found
in the park this year alone. When when she heard

(10:10):
what it was and its weight, she dropped to her
knees and cried. Then she laughed. She said, after all
the research, there's luck. There's hard work. When you're literally
picking up the dirt in your hands. No amount of
research can do that for you, No amount of education
can take all that can take you all the way.

(10:30):
It was daunting, but she did it three weeks. Think
about it on the final day of her three weeks
stay after going there every day, you'd have to be
a little discouraged spending twenty one days somewhere and not
finding twenty days rather and then you go back that
twenty first day. Good for her. That's awesome. That really

(10:57):
is cool. And I'm telling you that is a place
worth going to. It is totally out of the way.
It is like the literal armpit of Arkansas. There's nothing
around it, but it is absolutely worth it. Twenty seven
minutes after the hour, We're gonna come back. We got
three big stories in the press box this morning on

(11:19):
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
Find more on his vlog wuflafam dot com.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Keyword Preston. Thirty five minutes past the hour, let's get

(11:46):
to the big stories in the press box this morning.
Just a couple of those segments here on today's show.
In the third hour, we've got from the ground up
some ideas on things that you can plant in your
yard that might actually be useful to you from a
physiological health standpoint. We've got an expert from the Esposito's

(12:09):
Garden Center joining us to talk about that. Governor Rondo
Santas has announced the deportation depot. They are going to
convert Baker Correctional Institute into a deportation headquarters for North Florida.

(12:32):
There were talks of a few locations, but they have
settled on Baker and that is closer to Jacksonville than
Tallahassee by a good bit. It's to the east of
I ten on or east of seventy five on. Iten

(12:53):
awful little bit just to the south. But yeah, not
just to house people, and definitely it's the process and
then return illegal aliens to their home country. By the way,
flights have already taken place out of Alligator Alcatraz. Federal
judge in Miami issued a temporary restraining order against the
detention center, prohibiting the state from continuing construction due to

(13:16):
a legal complaint from an organization claiming it was threatening
the environment. Whatever pound sand Hunter Biden gave the typical
Hunter Biden response. I don't know if you've heard Milania
Trump is threatening a one billion dollar lawsuit for false, defamatory, disparaging,

(13:37):
inflammatory statements. Biden claimed that Jeffrey Epstein introduced Malania to Trump,
and so she is demanding a full retraction, et cetera,
and has retained counsels and has said, yeah, go for it.

(14:05):
I didn't get introduced to Malania through a friend, but
it certainly wasn't Jeffrey Epstein. Hunter Biden was asked about
it demanding when he was asked to apologize, and he
said in an interview, f that, okay, typical Hunter Biden, right.

(14:25):
I mean, look, I'm just going to tell you, and
for those of you that are that are you know,
profane speakers, I think it's an absolute sign of your
lack of intelligence to drop f bombs and profanities every
time you open your mouth. It is to me, you know,
you reach a point in your life where just every

(14:45):
other word being a curse word. It just displays absolutely
no intellect and no emotional control whatsoever. None. And if
there's anything that describes Hunter Biden, it's that he is
beautifully framed by his inability to speak without using profanities.

(15:07):
And honestly, that is one of the real markers for
illiberals in general. That's it, That's what they got, And
then I thought this was a brilliant story. Benjamin Netanyahu
has released a message and a statement to the people

(15:27):
of Iran. The moment your country is free, Israel's top
water experts will flood into every Iranian city bringing cutting
edge technology and know how we will help Iran recycle water,
will help Iran desalinate water. Israel is offering to help
the people of Iran solve maybe their biggest crisis. Water.

(15:54):
The thirst for water in Iran is only matched by
the thirst for freedom. And he sent the message directly
to the Iranian people saying, will help. The moment you
get rid of this leadership, We're ready to help. Brilliant, brilliant.

(16:15):
Forty minutes passed down. Those are your big stories in
the press box now speaking of.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Israel, Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 6 (16:36):
Doesn't this sound like hard hitting breaking news. The news
team at the Morning Show with Preston Scott featuring and
then they turned to the camera, squint.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Like a hard edged newsman would uns what we do
we break news? In fact, our motto round here is
when news breaks we fix it now, I said, Israel,
this is crazy. You may remember the story from back.

(17:18):
I didn't talk about this story, but you might remember it.
April twenty twenty four, the Israeli Defense Forces were accused
of deliberately targeting the World Central Kitchen aid workers. Seven

(17:40):
workers were killed after IDF targeted a three car envoy
on suspicion terrorists were posing as aid workers. Here's the problem.
IDF was onto something the World Central Kitchen, which is

(18:06):
a group that is used to deliver humanitarian aid. Release
his statement, w CK was contacted by Israel Israel's Coordinator
of Government Activities and the Territories and confirmed the vehicle

(18:27):
and persons of interests were not affiliated with WCK. We
strongly condemn anyone posing as w CK or other humanitarians
in this as this endangered civilians and aid workers. The
safety and security of our team is our top priority,
and that reaction came after five terrorists were eliminated by

(18:54):
the IDF. At the time, the idea was blamed. Now
they're being praised. Hamas uses vehicles that it either takes
or makes to mimic aid workers. They put on the vest,

(19:18):
they do the whole thing. And they're terrorists. They're taking
aid and they're terrorizing people, but they're posing as aid workers.
Israeli's had intelligence, they took them out and so it's
now been confirmed Hamas was using terrorists posing as aid

(19:40):
workers in Gaza. And this is exactly what Netanya who
was talking about the consistent threat. And it should be
noted the tactic of using nonprofit humanitarian organizations as a
disguise and for attacks or cover is a war crime,

(20:08):
one that Hamas and other terrorist groups inside Gaza are
committing and have been committing, and Israel is really good
at what it does. They were all up in arms,
Oh this is this is this is terrible. They were
they're attacking, aren't Nope, I guess they found out. No,
they aren't. These are bad guys posing as good guys.

(20:31):
I share the story because it just shows first the
dirty dog nature of these bad guys. They use reporters
as as terrorists. They they put terrorists strongholds in hospitals,

(21:02):
in schools, in civilian areas, inside homes, and they wonder
why sometimes there's collateral damage. These aren't military actions because
military bases don't do things like that. Look at where
US military bases are are they near our civilian areas?

(21:25):
Some sure to support the base, but the base is
the base. You know where it is. Terrorists don't operate
that way, never have, never will. Forty six passed the
hot Let me tell you about Joe and Eileen Bailey
mixed pulling up the Morning Show with Preston Scott blog

(21:58):
page and I'm just going to let you listen to
the first few moments of a recent monologue on last
Week Tonight with John Oliver.

Speaker 7 (22:15):
But I actually want to talk less about Chuck Schumer
himself and more about two of his favorite people, Joe
and Eileen Bailey. There are a couple that throughout Schumer's
career he has talked about a lot.

Speaker 8 (22:25):
They're a middle class couple in Massapequa, which is a
suburb on Long Island. Joe and Eileen Bailey. This middle
class couple. They bought into Reagan Republicanism in nineteen eighty.
Joe and Eileen are worried about losing their jobs or
their friends jobs, so that Baileys really don't believe in
trickle down. They don't believe in a whole lot of
government spending, but they believe in tax breaks. For kids

(22:46):
to go to college. He's an insurance adjuster and lives
in the New York suburbs by New York spandards. He
makes fifty thousand year. If he lived in the middle
of the country'd make forty. Wife works in a medical office.
She makes about twenty. She might make fifteen elsewhere. And
you know, well, I have guided my political life through
the bailies.

Speaker 7 (23:03):
The baileies have guided Chuck Schumer's political life, which is
a little weird given they don't exist.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Seriously, he invented them.

Speaker 7 (23:11):
Schumer first introduced the world to the bailies in his
two thousand and seven book Positively American, Winning Back the
Middle Class Majority, One Family at a Time. In it,
he mentions the bailies and astonishing two hundred and sixty
five times in two hundred and sixty four pages. But
he'd apparently been talking about them for years before the
book was published. One of his former spokespeople said he's

(23:32):
always asking what would the bailies think? And to be fair,
Schumer acknowledges that some may find this a little weird.

Speaker 8 (23:40):
If you ask my staff, I've been talking about them,
talking to the bailies for fifteen years. I have conversations
with them. One of my staffer as one said, I
had imaginary friends to the press got me in some trouble.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
But these people are real.

Speaker 8 (23:55):
And I respect them, and I really love them, and I.

Speaker 9 (23:57):
Care about them.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
So Oliver goes on to say, maybe one of the
problems plaguing the Democrat Party is the head of the
Democrat Senates, the Senate Democrats is listening to a fictionary
imaginary couple that doesn't exist. Now, I think Oliver is

(24:27):
driving at the fact that he got to be listening
to more illiberal, extremist people that are real. But the
fact that Schumer describes this fiction couple as Reagan era Republicans,

(24:49):
socially liberal but fiscally conservative. He said, they love Kung
Pow chicken, Joe's habit of singing the national anthem at
islander games, Eileen's father coming close with a diagnosis of
prostate cancer. I mean, let me, let me be clear.

(25:11):
In our world radio, we are asked to consider our
audience and to create a picture of who that person
might be. And so we we go through exercises defining
you what you like, what you don't like, where you

(25:33):
might have dinner, where you might shop, the types of
hobbies you might engage in. This is a routine exercise
in the world of any level of marketing or programming
identifying an an audience. But what we don't do is
we don't pretend these these people are. We don't suggest

(25:58):
that they have a name, and they're guiding us by
aim in our philosophies, as he has done deceptively for decades.
It's crazy, it really is. You can listen to the
entire thing on my x page at TMS Preston Scott.

(26:18):
You'll find the entire monologue and it's about a six
and a half minute monologue where Oliver goes kind of
nuclear on Schumer for this and people have a good laugh.
Schumer is being mocked endlessly. All right, let's get to
the second hour with no way possible a couple stories next,

(26:57):
Oh my, here we go. The second hour of the
morning shows what I did there. Jose's wearing a hoodie
with his earphones over the hoodie and with his dark
complexion and beard, you look like an Arab and all

(27:22):
you need is a massive swooping curved sword. Well ish
a lah.

Speaker 10 (27:31):
It just he looks the part like he's that dude
from Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Arc that
has that big old sword and it's just crazy.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Anyway, here's what I wrote on the rundown for the
next two stories. No period, way period, possible period. I'm

(28:03):
I'm almost This is Friday, right. I told you I
had stories for today that are just you just you
can't make this stuff up. Adults in China, stressed out

(28:26):
from well living in China, I would imagine, are are
turning back the hands of time to relieve their anxiety.
They are spending upwards of seventy US dollars for an

(28:55):
adult pacifier South China Morning Post noted for their larger
adult sized nipples and shields. Some Chinese retailers even claim
to be selling as many as two thousand a month.

(29:15):
Users not only say they help relieve stress and anxiety,
just like in babies, but are also used to help
quit smoking, which is presumably not an issue for infants.
Inside the article here, it says there is a psychological

(29:38):
term for the phenomenon regression, a defense mechanism used by
adults and challenging emotional circumstances where they try to cope
with their emotions by reverting to behaviors associated with a
previous stage of development, when they felt safer and more secure.

(30:00):
Here's my question. If that's true, do any of you
remember having a pacifier in your mouth? I mean, there's
a part of you that knows intuitively, well, I'm sure
I had one for a while. And we've all seen

(30:25):
the one or two children that are sucking a thumb
or using a pass fire beyond what is considered normal
a normal stage. But does that account for a wave
of humanity turning to pacifiers to deal with anxiety? And

(30:46):
I'm looking at pictures here, But here's the thing about
the pictures I'm looking at. These are not just people
in China. This has come across the Pacific. Americans are
now buying them. An adult binkie is becoming a thing.

(31:21):
Some people write, I have a mild case of sleep apnea.
Pacifiers work, wonders, I sleep through the night without waking,
shortness of breath. Okay, of course, after the age of two,
pacifiers do damage to your bite, to the formation of

(31:41):
your teeth, and the orientation of them. Using passifiers over
a long period of time may limit a person's ability
to open their mouth and cause pain when chewing. Within
a year, your teeth will change its position if you

(32:02):
use it a minimum of three hours a day. I just,
I'll be honest with you this, as much as I
wrote no way possible, this does not surprise me at all.
Remember what I said all through that years that we

(32:22):
are raising generations unable to cope because we don't say no,
because we don't allow them to come in last, because
we insist on rewarding everybody for just We're gonna no
grades anymore. Everyone's gonna everyone's passing the class. And so

(32:43):
the slightest bit of stress comes along and we're gonna
have a bunch of people turn into binkies. It's incredible. Honestly,
China is a part of me that thinks that makes
a little sense, in the sense just in regard to
you're living in an oppressive communist regime with no real freedoms.

(33:10):
I get stress level. What's interesting is it would it
would seem to me that you would have to be
exposed to something else to have levels of stress, or
else you wouldn't know any different. Right, That's what That's it.
That's life in China. So there are a lot of
interesting dynamics to that story, but it's still O MG,
you gotta be kidding me. Except for this, I've got

(33:34):
another story coming up next, No way possible times Dan.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
The Truth The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News
Radio one hundred point seven w FLAH.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
All right, let me tell you about fifty one year
old Jamie Stevens. Unless you think it's somebody that you
know domestically, we're talking about Torquay, Devon in the UK.
He's in twelvew he I don't even know where to begin.

(34:41):
Back in April twenty twenty three, Jamie's ex girlfriend, Anuska
Sites was reported missing to Police's thirty six. At the time,

(35:04):
my man, my man, Jamie Stevens. He said, I don't
you know. They used to be boyfriend girlfriend years before.
But I don't I don't know she is. I don't
know no reply. Visiting the the address where they both

(35:32):
used to live, he told officers that he recently moved.
Detectives gained entry to the flat on May twenty seventh,
just three months ago, and there was a blanket on
the couch, and underneath the blanket was was miss Sights,

(36:04):
a skeleton version of her. You see, she's been dead
for a few years. Now he gets arrested. He tells
officers that she came by his flat asked to stay

(36:24):
with him for the night. When he went out the
following day, found her on the couch. She covered her
body with a blanket and left her in place. Amazingly,
they don't think there's anything suspicious about her passing that
she just died of natural causes, I suppose. But my

(36:49):
man spent two years, apparently with his ex girlfriend's dead
body on his sofa and never thought it would be

(37:10):
a good thing to maybe call make a phone call.
You see why I wrote no way possible m hm,
seventeen minutes past the hour. It's we don't write it,

(37:33):
we just we just reported. This story is weird for
a lot of reasons. Now, I'm always intrigued by anything

(37:56):
involving pilots flying and so forth. Ethan and it could
be Gou Go out Guo, a very bright, articulate young
man trying to become the youngest person to fly solo
to all seven continents and raise money for cancer research

(38:18):
when he was accused of illegally landing in a Chilean
territory in Antarctica. Pause the story please show of hands.
How many in the class knew of a Chilean territory

(38:39):
in Antarctica? You knew? You knew Chile had territory in Antarctica?
No way, no way. Yeah. I watched the documentary once

(39:00):
that said what oh boy, I can't remember it was,
but it was, Yeah, it was a documentary. I was
blown away. Lead research assistant, I asked, have you ever
heard of Chilean territory in Antarctica? Will attempting to fly

(39:28):
from Chile to Argentina in late June, the young pilot
nineteen told ab Sou News in an interview this week
he lost radio transmission and his plane experienced an engine failure,
so he diverted to Antarctica and landed on a remote
island off the coast. And apparently that island is Chilean owned,

(39:56):
or at least claimed. The pilot's attorney said that he
had received explicit direct permission to land on the Chilean base,
but upon landing, he was arrested in charge with providing
false flight information, who said he did not have a
permit and violated international regulations regarding Antarctica the Antarctica continent.

(40:20):
What a Chilean court suspended his case this week and
ordered him to donate thirty thousand dollars to a local charity.
I bet the judge has some friends, you know what
I'm saying. The donation part of a stipulation for his
charges being dropped. This was confirmed by the pilot himself.

(40:45):
Prohibited from re entering Chilean territory for three years, blah
blah blah. Except he's not being freed to go. They are,
they completely. They continue to just change the rules and
move the goalpost. Despite his exoneration. They're not letting him
fly his plane off the base. He said he's been

(41:08):
told that the plane is not fit to fly it is,
it does not have enough fuel. It does, he doesn't
have the proper skills he in fact does, and the
weather's too poor, he stated in the interview. All four
of those statements are objectively false. By the way, no
of a nineteen year old that speaks like that. I

(41:29):
have all the paperwork, I have insurance that even covers Antarctica.
The plane is enough fuel, the plane is working, and
I'm a qualified pilot. So now the battle's on. I'll
tell you what see is. This is this kind of

(41:50):
thing Initially it strikes you as well, Chili, come on,
are you kidding me, except that this is the type
of stuff that's starting to happen more and more in
American courts. This what this makes no sense putting people

(42:11):
in prison for walking on the grounds of the Capitol
When people open the doors for him, that were security
guards can Capitol plice and said come on in, and
we're gonna then arrest him and put him in prison.
You're like, wait, what what are we talking about here?
And so as much as I want to say, Chili,
come on, are you kidding me? Chili's for Eden, not
for visiting. No, no, no, no, no, no no, We're

(42:35):
not that far away from this kind of nonsense. But
I'm obviously I'm gonna be following that story. Twenty seven
minutes past the hour, Big stories in the press box,
What's to be Friday, and more still to come in
the second half of the program.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
Started counting shows at the beginning because we weren't sure
how long he'd last. Now we're just proving to everyone
that week en count This is the Morning Show with
Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
This just into the WFLA Morning Show news Room, Florida
State soccer is really good. Sevenals started their season ranked
number three in the nation and they put it absolute
embarrassing beat down on the University of Florida's women's team

(43:34):
yesterday five to nothing. Ouch CA bibble. Yeah, FSU soccer
pretty good. Will see, of course, what happens with football
this year. There's there's there's nowhere to go but up
for FSU football. I don't know what to think. I

(43:56):
really don't. We're going to have Irishcheffel on the Monday
prior to the Alabama game and we'll begin our Monday
regular sessions with Ira to talk a little FSU football,
But I don't know what to expect other than this.
They will be better, and I can't think of another
team that had a one to twelve season that is

(44:19):
enjoying the recruiting success that FSU is having. It's crazy,
I'll be honest with you. When I heard the decision
to hire Gus Malzon, I was like, really, and then
I learned about the connection between coach Malzon and coach Norvell. Okay,

(44:44):
there's a part of me that thinks Gus wants to
take ahead job somewhere at some point again, but I
don't know. He had a lot of money that he
walked away from. He doesn't need money. He's made a
lot of money. But when he left UCF, I mean
he left the money, a lot of money on the
table there. And I don't know. I just and then

(45:07):
Tony Now Tony White, they're gonna they're not going to
keep forever the defensive coordinator that they got for Nebraska.
He's really good and he will be a head coach.
It'll just be fascinating to see how this season comes together,
and we'll know a lot because Alabama's not going to
be bad. Alabama's going to be at the very least good.

(45:30):
Are they Nick Saban Alabama? Nope, they're not. Don't know
they ever will be again anytime soon. I don't know.
It's sort of like the Bobby Bowden years of FSU.
I don't know we'll ever get back to that. I
don't know, but we'll see. Anyway, It'll be a lot
of fun, a lot of fun. Big stories in the
press box, Ryan just Santas announcing a new plan for

(45:52):
a new facility in the northern part of Florida. He's
going to uh, They're going to convert Baker Correctional Institute
in to the deportation depot. They gotta hate him for it.
The left has to just hate him. I just yeah.

(46:13):
Hunter Biden responds to the one billion dollar legal threat
from Malania Trump and knows she's not kidding. He slandered
and disparaged her. He was really true. He was funneling
some comments made by a guy named Michael Wolfe, who

(46:37):
was published in the Daily Beast. The article was titled
Milania Trump very involved in Epstein's scandal according to an author,
and so Milania's attorneys demanding an immediate attraction to that,
Hunter Biden offered the very well thought out intellectual f

(47:00):
that because that's that's all, Hunter. It's just think about
the interviews Hunter Biden's giving that are nothing but profanities. Seriously,
he's not able to make a point without him, and
where to believe that he was placed on the boards
of multi billion dollar companies in China and Ukraine for

(47:23):
his intelligence. He can't form a thought without dropping f bombs. No, really,
he can't. And then, in a brilliant play, Benjamin Netanyaw
who offering Iran life saving water, how to produce, how

(47:45):
to recycle, how to desalinate water if they overthrow the
tyrants leading the country said, if you want freedom, and
I know you do, we will help when you get it.
Just we're here the second you establish a free government,
we're gonna be there to help help make yourn successful.

(48:07):
Brilliant move. Forty minutes past the hour, you won't believe
who threw the sandwich. It's the morning show at Prestan
Scott on news radio one hundred point seven WFLA. Jose

(48:31):
said in the break, Oh, we're gonna finally talk about
the assault sandwich.

Speaker 11 (48:35):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
Personally, I prefer a pepper sandwich, not assault. That's just me, Okay,
I don't feel like I need a lot of assault.
If you don't know this story, among the things that
have happened in Washington, DC is a sandwich throwing suspect

(49:03):
has been identified and has been arrested. He launched his
subway sub sandwich, which, depending on the freshness of the bread,
could have caused a serious injury. Now, lucky for him,
the likelihood of his serious injuries diminish because subway bakes

(49:23):
its bread fresh. Right, We're not dealing with old bread.
You get one of those old, crusty breads could put
an eye out with that. But he didn't just throw
a sandwich at federal officers who, oh, by the way,
are doing their job. He oh wow, he said, f

(49:48):
you you e f ing fascists. Why are you here?
I don't want you in my city. It's your city.
And it's see right there, right there. I can identify
him as an illiberal leftist Democrat. No, but it gets better.

(50:14):
You'll never guess where he worked until yesterday, because when
Sean Dunn was identified and arrested for assaulting a police officer,
and yes, that's assault, even if it's a subway sandwich,
it's assault. He used to work for the Department of Justice.

(50:43):
Pam Bondy, Pam Bondy, I just learned that this defendant
worked at the Department of Justice no longer. Not only
is he fired, he has been charged with felony. And
this is an example of the deep state we have
been up against for seven months as we work to

(51:05):
refocus DOJ. So he's facing now federal charges for throwing
a substyled sandwich at Customs and Border Protection. And here's
the thing. It's assault, not just at PEPA, No, it

(51:26):
is It's like if someone is approaching you and pushes
you as I just did the microphone. That's battery. It
just is Why is that assault? Why? Because you have

(51:50):
to draw a line. You can't throw things at officers
doing their job. It doesn't matter what it is. You
can't throw things at them. You can't. Well, it doesn't
matter what you think. It's not allowed. It's just to say,
it doesn't matter. You can't do it. So I love

(52:17):
it because, as I've explained to young people for years,
when I was a pastor of high school and college students,
middle school, high school, college, I would tell the middle
school and high school students, dumb decisions now will cost
you some privileges, but as you age, bad decisions will

(52:43):
cost you infinitely more. It could cost you a life.
You make a decision to get drunk at a party
and go drive, you could die, You could kill others.
The consequences go up. In this case, this young man
acted young man. This man acted like a fool, and

(53:04):
as an adult, sorry, you don't get to do that.
You now are without a job. The good news for
him is he'll be hired by the view or you know,
MSNBC or CNN. As some analyst I'm sure, but he
will not work for the Department of Justice. Maybe the
ACL you will hire him, I don't know. Forty seven

(53:25):
minutes after the hour, come back. We will get you
ready for What's the Beef Friday? It's the Morning Show
with Preston Scott. Just got a note here from Sorry
five or three. Just got a note here from Mac.

(53:50):
He said, good morning, Preston. Your report of adult pacifiers,
at first, was funny to me at ninety years old.
I'm sure I never had a pacifier, and neither did
our three children. That would shock me that you never
used a pacifier, sir, let alone with your children. But
the story seemed foreign, even funny at first. It raised

(54:13):
my curiosity that adults would use something like a passifier.
Imagine my shock when I searched adult pacifier on Amazon
and saw their large selection of baby themed adult sized pacifiers.
Amazon has over sixty pages featuring numerous designs, different design features.

(54:37):
I even saw an adult pacifier with a small blankye
attached to it. My thoughts went from having a good
laugh to very concerned and disturbed. Told you, I told
you there are ominous overtones to that story. I missed it.

(55:00):
It led the second hour of the program. You can
check it out on the podcast What's the be Fridays
coming up. I've been just sitting on this story waiting
for this segment of the show on Friday. I've been
holding it for Friday show at this time. Did you

(55:23):
hear the Kamala Harris would not allow the Vance family
to tour the home they would be living in for
four years. Jd. Vance asked if his wife and kids
could just preview the home before moving in, to just

(55:45):
see it. It's normally customary for the outgoing vice president
to show the incoming vice president's family the house. Vance
said in an interview on the Case Miller podcast. We
have three little kids, so I guess at the time,
our kids were like seven to five, and you know two.

(56:07):
I guess Marabell turned three right before inauguration. Anyway, Usha
really wanted to show the children where they might be living.
We actually proposed is recognizing the weirdness of politics, knushould
take the kids over and show them we're going to
be living for the next four years. Kamala said, no,

(56:32):
I got nothing to tack onto that. That is right
on brand for Kamala. What a sad person. She is
really just unaware that everyone around is really laughing, and

(56:59):
it's just it's just it's it's pitiful how close we
came to having her in the Oval office. The one
thing about Joe Biden, well maybe Jill being obstinate and
not allowing Joe to be removed from office is we
were spared Kamala. Can you imagine Kamala having the power

(57:22):
of the incumbency. That's really just horrifying. All Right, it
is time for what's to be Friday. I have some
other stories here, but I just assume not get to
those stories. I just soon take your calls. So here's

(57:44):
what we're gonna do. The phone lines are open. Actually
we've got a call her already standing by. So the
Radio Phone Index RPI is underway. I think our record
seventeen or something like that. That's the RPI record. But
you're welcome to call in eight five zero two zero

(58:05):
five WFLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three
fifty two. What's the beef? Friday is next? I just

(58:31):
live as I just love listening to the music. Here
we go, third and final hour of the program. We
turned the page on the rundown and look and see
that it's time for what's the beef Friday? Your calls, complaints,
your quibbles, whatever's annoying you. If you're new to the
radio program, we have one line open right now. We

(58:51):
have four available, but one is open. Three are taken
and it's as easy as calling eight five zero two
zero five WFLA. We have a call screener, Jose will
determine whether or not you are fit for the airwaves.
Now we ask you to do these things. Don't use profanity.

(59:13):
We're not that way. Second, don't make it personal. That's all.
Just don't make it personal. If you have a bad
experience at a business, tell us. Leave the name out
of it. We're not here to hurt. This is about
helping you. We care about you, We want you to

(59:35):
feel better, and it works. You can live vicariously through
the beefs of others. But the chances are what you're
worked up about might be just you and we're here
to help. So call. We have one line open, but
we have three callers standing by. Greg has been very patient.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
Good morning, Greg, Welcome in homage to the now ceased
pastor Jimmy Swaggert. That's not blashemous. That's just stupid. First
of all, MSNBC and CNN went after Secretary of Defense
Pete Hegseth Pete Hegseth Church because it was pastored by

(01:00:17):
a member of the Christian Nationalist movement. These were the
people who told us in two thousand and seven Reverend
Jeremiah Wright at the freedom of religion and the freedom
of speech. But worse than that the Hollywood Bowls presentation
of Jesus Christ Superstar featuring Academy Award nominee Cynthia Erbio

(01:00:37):
as Jesus Christ and Adam Lambert, who sang with Brian
May and Roger Taylor and Queen as Jesus Is Scariot.
I'll just wait for the hammer to fall when looking
on Peacock for the much better version of John Legend
as Jesus Christ and Alice Cooper's Herod.

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
Thank you very much, Greg, appreciate the phone call eight
five zero two zero five WSLA eight five zero two
zero five ninety three fifty two call in now lines
are open, Michael, thank you for calling in. What's the beef.

Speaker 12 (01:01:16):
On?

Speaker 13 (01:01:19):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
Hang on, Michael, Michael, your phone is I don't know
if you've walked around somewhere, but we have we can't
understand you. Let's try it one more time and if not,
we're gonna need you to try call them back. Go ahead, okay,
hear me, now I can okay.

Speaker 13 (01:01:37):
With the war's going on and the fires, forest fires,
and the earthquakes as the volcanoes, I thank God's trying
to get our attention. Let's see it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
Thank you very much. I guess the beef is that
we're as a culture living in such a way that
God's trying to get our attention. Could be yeah, don't
deny them. That frees up a phone line eight five
zero two zero five to b FLA John. Come on, buddy, young.

Speaker 12 (01:02:10):
Morning, Preston, good morning. Thank you again for what you do,
my bason. Is I guess for our society. After hearing
the interview with the chief of police in Washington, BC,
it is amazing how we've accepted mediocrity in leadership, not
just in politicians, but in appointed officials and people who

(01:02:33):
are at their leadership position. They are supposed to be
taking care of things, supposed to be looking out for things.
And the chiefs had a blank stare when and asked
what the definition of chain of command was now chain
of command EVE one private in basic training after the
second week, I promise you as a chain of command

(01:02:55):
from his CEO up to the president memorized. It's just
amazing and just marginally literate people holding public positions. And
I'm not talking about our local TV people this time.
It's just across the country.

Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
But you may mentioned a while ago.

Speaker 12 (01:03:15):
About the nineteen year old that the country of Chile
is held, and how his verbiage was for a nineteen
year old. His verbiage was an anomaly and it shouldn't
have been. It should be the norm. But don't forget
there was nineteen year olds in the Second World War
and since then leading squads in the battle and doing

(01:03:38):
it very successfully. So all hope is not lost. But
I do want to just do want to point out
that thank you, but thank you again for what y'all do.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
Appreciate it. What's to Be Friday continues. Tim is up next.
What about you A five zero two zero five WFLA.

Speaker 9 (01:04:15):
To pass the hour.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
Good morning, ruminators, and welcome to What's to Be Days
second segment of Out of your Therapy. He's going to Tim,
who has been teaching waiting. Good morning, Tim, thanks for
calling in. What is the beat?

Speaker 9 (01:04:29):
Good morning? My beat is with people that don't follow
the rules, the culmination of making them want to make
this call. I belong to a local gym that has
an indoor track, and they alternate days flockwise and counterclockwise,
and they got signs all over the place telling you
which days to walk which direction. And the other day

(01:04:51):
there's some guy comes on the track and walks the
opposite direction, bumping into people all the way around. And
it just in theory, it's me that people can't follow
simple rules.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
Does anybody say anything to that person?

Speaker 9 (01:05:08):
I think I saw one person finally say something to him,
you know, I gave him a dirty look.

Speaker 14 (01:05:13):
That was all I did.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Well, were you able to see the reaction? Did he
turn around and walk the other way?

Speaker 9 (01:05:21):
Well? After he made one full loop, I think he
either stopped walking or finally started turning around because he
got the idea he was fortun people to go around
him as he came around. But yeah, it just you know,
and that's like I say, that's a culmination. You see it.
People get in the express checkout line with a full
basket of stuff, of people parked on the side it

(01:05:43):
says no parking, but oh, they're only going to be
a minute, so it's okay. It just I don't know.
I guess I try to follow the rules too much.

Speaker 7 (01:05:52):
Maybe do you feel.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
Better though calling in and getting it off your chest?

Speaker 14 (01:05:56):
Yeah, actually I gotta do.

Speaker 9 (01:05:58):
There you go, Thank.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
You, Thank you, Tim. I appreciate the phone call, simple
as that. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Let's
go to Mike. Hi, Mike, thank you for being patient.
You're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 13 (01:06:13):
Hey talking about jd Vance going into the reservatory where
the vice president lives at.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:06:19):
I think the reason that Amalo Hairstont wanting to come
in she didn't want to say all the empty bottles,
bourbon bottles, whiskey bottle she got destroyed in the election.
That's probably what it was.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
Have a good day, Thank you very much. Reaction to
a story. We've got lines open, but Daniel's taking one
of them. It's eight five zero two zero five WFLA
eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two
lines are wide open. Now's a great time to call Daniel.
Thanks for calling in, sir.

Speaker 15 (01:06:49):
I hope you're having a great morning. This is going
to be kind of boring, so I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
No, no such thing.

Speaker 15 (01:06:56):
The last few days, the federal government selling stocks of
Fannie May and Freddie Mack have been in the news,
and my beef is whatever generation of Americans thought it
was okay for the federal government to be in the
mortgage of business?

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
Okay? Is this biting you personally or is this just
an observation you're making.

Speaker 15 (01:07:20):
Just an observation, you know why. I just don't understand
how things like this, and not not just this, but
a lot of things in general that our federal government
over the decades has got involved in that has never
had any business in in the first place, and now
that there's a president and a generation willing to fix it,
you know, it makes him look like the bad guy.

(01:07:41):
It makes people like me and you probably look like.

Speaker 9 (01:07:43):
The bad guy.

Speaker 15 (01:07:44):
Yeah, but the federal government being in the mortgage of
business is definitely definitely one of those things.

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
I don't disagree with you. There. There are a lot
of things, as you mentioned, Daniel, thanks very much for
the phone call where the government has extended its reach unnecessarily,
and I think you point to something and here's my hunch,
and again I've not done any research on this, but
my hunch is they got involved so that more people

(01:08:10):
could own and buy property, well, buy property and sort
of own it, right, do you ever really own it?
That gets back to the old property tax issue. But
thanks for the phone call. Let's see here, We've got
Ron calling in, Jeff is standing by, and John is
calling in as well. We've got one line open. We

(01:08:30):
can take at least four callers in the next segment,
so if you want it, it's yours eight five zero
two zero five to b FLA. I cannot believe Will
I'm already hear the final segment of What's to Beat

(01:08:52):
for the week, But here we are four callers who
are standing by. We may be able to in a fifth,
but we'll see. Jeff, thanks for being so patient this morning,
and welcome to the program. You are on the air.
What's the beef?

Speaker 11 (01:09:08):
Hey, I'm a rule breaker that is complaining about people
who complain about me. Okay, I go seventy one in
a seventy mile per hour zone.

Speaker 9 (01:09:20):
Yeah, sometimes I don't always come to a complete stop.

Speaker 11 (01:09:24):
Sometimes there's a thousandths of a second.

Speaker 9 (01:09:27):
You know that I that I skip and I don't
know that those people just kind of bother me.

Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
Do you think it's really about that or do you
think it's about when people don't follow rules that impact
other people. See, going seventy one in a seventy doesn't
really impact you and or other people?

Speaker 11 (01:09:46):
Right, Well, I think it just chased some people.

Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
Yeah, but I mean if you're in the if you're
in that ten item or less and and you got
forty five items, you can see where that could be
a little bit of a come on.

Speaker 13 (01:10:02):
Now, sure yeah, so with items.

Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
Yeah, And I don't think many people are gonna get
worked up about that, but you get the point, come
on now. But I love the sense of humor. That's terrific.
Do you feel better calling in and and and and
getting it off your chest?

Speaker 9 (01:10:26):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (01:10:26):
The relief is unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
Right right, And now the whole weekend is going to
be better because of it, and Jesus will have far
less work to do on you on Sunday. There you go,
Thank you, Jeff, what an awesome phone call. Let's go
to Ron, Ron buddy, come on, bring it.

Speaker 16 (01:10:49):
Hey, pressing always first. Thank you not only would you
and Jose The show is educational informational you know. Uh,
it's great period. Anyway, Uh, trying to get to a
beef with some of these guys. I had no clue
what Grace's commentary was all about. But anyway, Uh, I
feel like we're going up the roller coaster again, Adam Shift,

(01:11:11):
do you know Russia stuff? Are we ever going to
get to the top and have a fun ride down?

Speaker 17 (01:11:16):
Come on?

Speaker 16 (01:11:16):
I mean always, we're gonna get them. We're gonna get them.
We're good, and then we have to be rescued and
taking off the roller coaster when we get to the top.

Speaker 9 (01:11:24):

the call. We got three callers left, and that's it.
We're gonna go to John John, Good morning, Welcome.

Speaker 14 (01:11:42):
Good morning, Presidon. My beef is with our local head
of education. How I don't understand how we can want
to spend a million dollars to fight drones over our
schools but can't get our kids in a safe place.
I used to put them on the school bus. Good god,

(01:12:02):
what's happened in this county? That's all I got.

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
Thank you. My brother appreciate that. Yeah, there's those are
things that I'm quite certain are being looked into. Second
to the last caller here, it's Tiffany. Tiffany, thanks for
calling in. What's the beef?

Speaker 17 (01:12:18):
Hey there, good morning. First of all, been listening to
you forever, even since before you got your windows replaced.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
Oh my good gracious.

Speaker 17 (01:12:25):
Always it makes me smile when you talk about It's
like I was there. Yes, well, is the normalization of
incorrect grammar? I go over it, and you don't say,
send Nancy and I your invoice and we'll look at you.
Say send Nancy and me your invoice. And I see
it in emails. I see it in scripts and movies, you.

Speaker 9 (01:12:48):
Know all of this.

Speaker 17 (01:12:49):
I see it everywhere. And it's irritating me right now.
So maybe I don't know. This will make me feel
better for a while till I see it a lot again. Yeah,
and so people test, would you say, send I your
invoice and I'll look at it. No, you will't, Just
test yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
It'll be okay, Tiffany, Tiffany, me and Jose agree with
you one hundred percent.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the call and UH
and the and the and the loyalty to the radio program.

Speaker 11 (01:13:34):
UH.

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
Last caller here quickly, Jackie, you're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 14 (01:13:38):
Okay?

Speaker 18 (01:13:39):
My beach is that the ten items are left line.
When you have a line that's ten items are less,
and somebody with ten items or less gets in the
big the other ways, and so you've got a big
buggy full and they've only got a handful, and they
won't go use their own lane. People that don't stay in.

Speaker 17 (01:14:00):
Their own.

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
Thank you, Jackie. But what if what if I don't
want to bag my groceries? What if I want someone
else to bag them? I have a right to go
in That doesn't say that. This this LANs for eleven
or more doesn't say that. All right, I got to
finish because we've got from the ground up coming up
next Phoenix from Esposito's Garden Center joining us. What can

(01:14:27):
you plant that will actually benefit you, like medicinally and
so forth? Next on the Morning.

Speaker 5 (01:14:32):
Show, in Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
Can you fly this plane and land it? Surely you
can't be serious. I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
On news Radio one hundred point seven UFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
Thirty five, almost thirty six minutes past the hour, Friday.
Here in the program, a couple times each month we
talked to some of the experts at Esposito's Garden Center,
and this week Phoenix's joining us from the landscaping Department
and education director. That's a lofty title, Phoenix.

Speaker 19 (01:15:18):
Yes, it is. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
I appreciate you joking with you. Hey, it's great to
have you on the program. I was fascinated when I
when I considered the topic of things that people can
plant and grow in their yards that are actually useful
for them. Is there? What is that called? That type
of gardening?

Speaker 19 (01:15:38):
Really, it's you know, the practice of herbalism, studying and
practicing the medicinal properties of plants and plant materials such
as the leaves, flowers, fruit seed, bark, roots, rhizomes.

Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
What is the most important fundamental thing that a garden
needs to have in order to pull this off?

Speaker 19 (01:16:01):
Really, you want to focus on soil and water anytime
you're gardening, just to make sure that the garden thrives.
You know, and having certain plants to really help. For instance,
I love having yarrow in the garden, the Latin name
Achillea millifolium. It's a perennial. It comes up every year.
It has diaphoretic properties. It promotes sweating to help reduce

(01:16:23):
fevers and eliminate toxins. You know, it's analgesic. It can
stop pain and hemostatic and it stops blood flow. So
a plant like that is not only just beautiful and
flowers every year, but it has so many benefits to
it as well.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
People have yards that have different exposures. Some people grow
stuff in their front yard, some in the back based
on the orientation of their yard. Is there a specific
orientation in North Florida along the Panhandle that you need
to have to be successful.

Speaker 19 (01:16:53):
Actually, we have really great soil here and a lot
of plant varieties that are unique to our area because
of the soil and the rains that we get and
the tree canopy. So I think we actually have a
great area for gardening. And even some of the wild
weeds that grow in our area, like the violets and
the chick weed, and even pesty weeds like cleavers, you know,

(01:17:16):
are actually medicinally beneficial and have a history of being
beneficial medicinally.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
How many plants I mean, if someone wanted to really
go into this, how many plants are there to choose from?
And are you picking plants based on a variety of
different things that might come up? And in ones you know,
just annual living their life, they'll need this, and they'll
need that. They'll need a little aloe for a sunburn.

(01:17:45):
You know, those are the go tos that people like
me think about. But how big of a field is this?

Speaker 19 (01:17:53):
I mean, this is we're talking conventional medicine really stems
from the healing modalities of arablism. You know, so willow bark,
for instance, has a lot of the same properties that
aspirn has or you know, so there's so much benefit
to all the different plants that you can grow, and
there's such a wide variety. But you can do this

(01:18:14):
in a small space, even if you just had a
balcony or a window at sunlight, you can grow some
particular plants. A lot of things in the lamey Aca family,
which is the mint family, have a lot of healing properties,
whether it's rosemary, basil, and you can get many varieties
of basil alone. So there's the range is so wide,
and we're so limited to what we even know or

(01:18:37):
even purchase at the grocery store. And there's so much
out there. Even at an Asian market. You can go
and get sweet potato leaves and eat the leaves. But
we don't think about that when we're buying sweet potatoes
at a conventional grocery store.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
No, not at all. How much is the minimum amount
of sunlight that you need to pull this off to
be able to grow most obviously there may be some exceptions.
And conversely, is there too much sunlight because we do
get some heat.

Speaker 19 (01:19:07):
We definitely get heat, and you know, our summers just
seem hotter and hotter, So there are definitely things that grow.
But sometimes I'll even just grow a field of flowers
like zenias or Mexican sunflowers and welcome the pollinators to
my garden, the honey bees and the butterflies, you know,
and things that thrive in this heat that you're still

(01:19:29):
you know, getting that beneficial And there's you know, many
tropicals that grow in our area that grow in other
zones that we can bring up here. For instance, I
have butterfly pea flower and also cassava yucca growing in
my garden. And I didn't think after our snow this year,
but it really it came back even stronger, and I
found that some of the plants came back stronger after

(01:19:51):
the snow.

Speaker 1 (01:19:52):
If someone's listening and they're thinking of starting a garden
like this, what's the minimum amount of sunlight exposure they
need to have.

Speaker 19 (01:20:00):
Well, you can have partial sun, full sun. It really
varies on the plant because even sweet potatoes like I
was talking about, they grow in partial sun. They won't
thrive in as much in full sun. So it really
just depends on the plant variety.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
We have wet the appetite, Phoenix, thanks for making time
for us this morning. This is a big topic and
I bet we visit on this sometime in the future.
Thanks for joining me this morning.

Speaker 19 (01:20:25):
Yes, and starting in September, I'll be hosting classes in
the Esposito shopping Center.

Speaker 1 (01:20:29):
Nice good stuff. When and where, like what part of
the center and what days and.

Speaker 19 (01:20:35):
Times right between Cafe del Martin and the trail and
ski so Saturdays and also during the week.

Speaker 1 (01:20:44):
Nice Phoenix, Thanks very much for the time today.

Speaker 19 (01:20:47):
All right, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (01:20:49):
That is Phoenix from the Esposito Garden Center. You just
heard it, and just some things to think about that.
Did you know that you could do all that in here?

Speaker 19 (01:20:57):
Y are?

Speaker 11 (01:20:58):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:20:58):
You didn't?

Speaker 15 (01:21:00):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
Notice how she tied into the bees. I didn't say
I didn't touch that topic. She just brought that up
organically from the ground up Esposito's Garden Center. Here on
the Morning Show with President Scott Popo forty three minutes

(01:21:39):
passed Monday. On the program, Christine Bawling, she is she's
behind a program that was done in I think it's Columbia,
and it's it's an interesting story. I was pitched and
I was I was tossing the coin on this one,

(01:22:02):
and I decided, let's let's let's talk about this. Her
contention is that there are some programs over the years
that USAID have been involved in that have benefited the
peoples of given countries. I don't doubt that the one
she's using as an example. I'm very interested in finding

(01:22:26):
out more if she really believes that, and then the
broader topic of USAID perhaps will come up. Christine Balling
will join us. Also, have you heard about the twelve
three thirty weight Loss Program twelve three thirty. I'll tell
you what that's about. It has nothing to do with
the month of December and the year twenty thirty. I

(01:22:48):
will say that it has nothing to do with that
twelve three thirty. You'll probably learn about it if you
if you're like curious and you got nothing to do,
and you're gonna just google it. But it's our good
news segment. Sorry, had a tickle in my nose. This

(01:23:12):
is pretty cool. Sam Hines was five when he was
placed in the intensive care unit Michigan's Helen Vas Children's
Hospital with failing kidneys and a very grim diagnosis. Five
years old, he had a rare, life threatening disease that
produces blood clots in the kidney and leads to organ failure.

(01:23:37):
He loved baseball, but he would have to have a
kidney transplant if he ever hoped to play period, let
alone baseball again. But when he was eight years old,
the hospital located an organ donor and he was going

(01:23:59):
to get a new kidney. You only need one. But
he was a left handed baseball player. Now he's eight
years old. Think about this. He bats left handed and

(01:24:19):
normally kidneys are transplanted to the lower right side of
the body, which means every time he would step into
a batter's box, he would have his kidney facing the pitch.
And so the family and Sam asked the doctors, could
you move it to the other side just in case

(01:24:43):
an errant fastball as he gets older or something comes
in at one hundred miles an hour and catches him
in the kidney. It's going to be on the other side,
thus protected. They said, We've never been asked that, but sure,
and they did. They were able to provide the surgery

(01:25:10):
and put the kidney on the other side of his body,
so this little boy could still play baseball. Friends, that
is so cool and that's good news. Forty eight minutes
after the hour, back with a dad joke and headlines

(01:25:30):
from the b Before we get to some headlines from

(01:25:53):
