Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
What perfect way to end the week and start the show.
Kind of weird, right, we're in in the week and
we're starting all at the same time. How are you
good to be with you this morning? It's December the
fifth Friday, here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott
and Preston. He's ose. Our verse today is one John

(00:25):
four nineteen. Ready, we love because he loved us first.
We love because He loved us first. I think that

(00:48):
for some and perhaps some of you, struggling to show
love and affection to those you care about finds its
root right there. You struggle accepting God's love for you,

(01:11):
and so because you struggle with that, it is very
difficult for you to be a conduit of that love
and express it to others. It's sort of like a
pipe that's stopped up. We're meant to be a conduit.
God's love comes to us and flows through us into

(01:33):
other people's lives, and that flow blesses us while it
goes into other people's lives. And so if you're stopped
up and you're struggling loving others, notably family, make it
a point of spending a little time reflecting on do

(01:55):
you know that God loves you. Have you accepted that?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
That's strong.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
That's good. Ten past the hours, The Morning Show with Preston.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Scott's Weather, Traffic and the Big Stories in the press Box.

Surprised if you have a chuckle here and there, just
like that. Thanks for listening. It's The Morning Show with
Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
All right, real quickly, here's where we are. Thousand dollars

eighty nine dollars away. We got about fourteen hundred dollars
in yesterday. What do you think can we do it today?

(03:16):
Orphanshade dot com our goal is fifty five thousand dollars.
We are two thousand, three hundred and eighty nine dollars away.
That is so epically cool. Way to go, you, you people.

(03:40):
Click the donate button drop down menu, Build a house
comments House number six December the fifth, seventeen eighty two.
Martin Van Buren eighth US President born in Kinderhook, New York,
eighteen thirty one. Former President John Quincy Adams takes his
seat in the US House of Representatives of mass choosets

(04:01):
former president back in the House. That's kind of cool,
it really is. I'm not done serving. Eighteen forty eight,
President James K. Polk helps trigger the eighteen forty nine
Gold Rush when he confirms the discovery of gold in California.
Nineteen thirty three. Twenty first Amendment ending prohibition is ratified

(04:23):
nineteen fifty five, prompted by the arrest of Rosa Parks,
the Montgomery bus boycott begins. There you go, that's we
got here. It is National bartender Day. It's because the
end of prohibition. See that. See what they did there,

(04:45):
and that's clever. It is National soccer Sacher Zacher Torte Day.
If you like chocolate and cake, this is a day
for you. Layered ingredients. Austrian franz soccer or soccer Franzaka

(05:13):
invented this in eighteen thirty two in Vienna, and he
was sixteen when he did it. There you go, it's
a sponge cake. Sadly, it's got apricot jammed in between
the layers with the chocolate. Ruined it right there, absolutely

(05:37):
ruined it. Faux fur Day, Vaux for Friday and Bathtub
Party Day and National Back Friday is in like Your Back,
So you know, there you go, Hey, I want to
get this talked about now because I mean, and it's

(06:02):
it's something you'd never ever want to have happen ever.
And you know, we talk about the personal defense segments
on this show, and we've talked about how to handle
a situation where somebody has a knife, right, and our

(06:26):
personal defense segments. Well, Jose was a victim of a stabbing,
and it's really important that you know that he's here anyway.
He's okay, it was it was a slashing. He's okay,
but and I mean listen to his voice. He's laughing

(06:48):
about it. That's the kind of man he is. He
laughs at the face of danger. It was done by myself.
You weren't supposed to say that, okay, So he might
have had an inadvertent accident involving a knife. I thought
it sounded really good to say he was the victim

(07:10):
of a stabbing. He's clarified. Instead of slashing, we could
have left it right there and people will be what
the world happened? O say, listen to him, he's just
manning up coming in doing the show. Yeah, he stabbed himself.
The man stabbed himself seventeen minutes past that. You know,

(07:52):
he's clear me in shock over the stabbing incident. Hit
me up in the break here at the very tail,
and he said, you know that onion juice can bring
your hair back. It's like, whoa, I didn't know. Shock
kind of kind of worked that way, caused you to

(08:15):
just think all kinds of crazy things. My guess is
the stabbing incident occurred somewhere around onions. I don't know,
I could be mistaken, and so it's just kind of
locked in his brain here. And so he said he's
going to try applying onion juice to his scalp and

(08:35):
see what happens. Apparently all you have to do is
get onion juice, strain it, and apply it to your scalp.
For you said two hours, Yeah, two hours a week
for six weeks, one one time for two hours or
just the total of two hours. Oh, you get one

(08:56):
time for one hour, So as long as you get
two hours a week, okay, So you got to leave
it on there and imagine that's got to be a
lot of fun. I would suggest if you're going to
try this, do it while cooking dinner. It's like, I
wouldn't do it before you go to bed, you know,

(09:19):
I just I'm not sure that's kind of what you
want in your sheets and your pillow and so forth.
But no, there is some some a kernel nugget of
could be to this rumor. It's not necessarily induced by
the stabbing. But if you're just if you're just tuning

(09:41):
into the program, jose was stabbed last night, and now
it was self inflicted. But it is important to state,
because we do talk about personal defense on this show,
that he was the victim of a stabbing. What was
really interesting is, you know, as he was being stabbed,

(10:03):
he had this kind of instinctive urge to draw his firearm,
and then it dawned on him, Wait a minute, I
just stabbed myself. They put the gun down, So that
was good. That's good. Hey, if you've missed this news,
this is good stuff too. The scientific journal Nature, it's

(10:27):
one of the biggies, right, and they're like nuts on
climate change. They're nuts. They have had to retract a
study cited by Forbes, the Associated Press, and Reuters predicting
that climate change would cause catastrophic economic catastrophe after economists

(10:53):
looking at the data said that you're entirely wrong. Here's
the little this is again. This is one of those things.
And I'd like to think these are the reasons, among
the reasons why you listen to the show. Guess who's
reported to the economic the economists finding flaws in the study.

(11:22):
The New York Times. Now that's two stories this week
where The New York Times has said, hey, hey, hey, hey,
buncom called out the Washington Post on a story proving
it was wrong. Here, proving the journal nature was wrong.

(11:44):
Is the is the New York Times attempting to resurrect
some set of journalistic standards. The error ridden Potsdam study
has frustrated some researchers, who say it damages climate and
scientists credibility. You got no credibility to begin with, boys, boys,

(12:10):
You got none boys because it's wacko stuff. You know, boys,
it's just wacko wacka do you know, boys? But this
is really a nice it's a nice development. They didn't
correct the study. They retracted it. They went, uh, what study.

(12:32):
We don't know what you're talking about. There's a study study,
there's no study poof, it's gone, it's gone burning this
are you burning it? They're burning what study? I love it. It's
not a correction, it's a complete erasure. Twenty seven Pass Christmas.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
And the questions you want the answers to the Morning
Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one h point
seven WSLA.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
What's the Beef? In the final hour of the program,
take your calls. We have an amazing good news story.
We've got Devin joining us from Espositos talk about citrus
trees and camellias this time of year. What do you
do with this? Is this the time of the year

(13:33):
to plant a citrus tree? I've always heard that winter
is a good time to plant shrubs and trees. We'll
find out if that extends to citrus. But we've got
a ton to talk about as we edge closer to
reaching our goal for orphan Shade again. We're twenty six,
twenty seven hundred dollars away now Orphanshade dot Com. All right,

(13:57):
so what do you make of this arrest of the
d see pipe bomb suspect, young black male, not a
young white female. Remember we shared the intel that was
being pushed out that showed and talked about and relied

(14:21):
on quote gate analysis the walk of the suspect saying
it was a female that worked with Capitol Police and
was promoted to the CIA. Was that all subterfuge? Was
that faking us out? I don't know, I don't know

(14:43):
I was I've sent I've sent a note up to
some to a connection to some sources for us, and
I'm asking, basically, what the heck? And lastly, and U
you know my approach to stuff like this, Let's just

(15:03):
see what happens. More informations coming out. Dude lives with
his mom. He put pipe bombs, if it's him, put
pipe bombs in front of the d n C and
the RNC. There's some things floating around that the old

(15:24):
school anarchists, but you'd never know it because he's as
low key as they come, as low key as they come.
But allegedly the search warrant revealed all kinds of pipe
bomb making materials in his home, in his room where
he lives with his mom. I think what busted him

(15:44):
was his Nike Airmax Speed Turf sneakers. I think that
that's I mean, you start looking at they were looking
at three million lines of different code and so forth,
and you've got a fairly limited circulation sneaker, so who

(16:05):
bought them? And then you've got the pipe bomb making
materials who boughttom? And then you start to cross section
that stuff. And then you've got cell phone data showing
his phone was pinging at that time in those locations
when the pipe bombs were laid out. They're laying out
a case. And then to add insult to all of it,

(16:26):
he walks like a girl. If we're to believe the
Gates stuff the right I mean, and your honor, I mean,
my goodness, gracious, So we'll see. House Judiciary Committee in
the Florida State Legislature voted seventeen sorry three. The House

(16:50):
Judiciary Committee in the Florida Legislature voted thirteen to seven
in favor of House Bill one thirty three, which removes
the military age purchase ban of long guns that was
part of the ridiculous Parkland Bill of twenty seventeen. It
was one of the low moments for Rick Scott as governor.
It was bad legislation, never should have signed it. Here's

(17:10):
the story though. Now this comes from someone who I
don't agree with all of what this gentleman does. But
I agree with his passion for the Second Amendment. We
might climb the mountain a little differently, and that's okay.

(17:30):
I respect the work he does for the Second Amendment.
I'm not going to call out his name. He says
that word is circulating that Florida Senate President Ben Albritton
is trying to make a deal to lower the age
limit to purchase a firearm in exchange for adding restrictions
on open carry. That would be bad to that. I
would say, good luck, because a judge said it was unconstitutional.

(17:55):
Open carry's open carry, right, I mean, but we'll see.
And then lastly, studies showing smartphones given to children by
the age of twelve, those kids have a greater risk
of depression, obesity, poor sleep, and more. It's just more

(18:17):
evidence saying don't give your kids a smartphone. I personally
think that thirteen because the study also showed that if
they didn't have one before they were twelve, but they
got one when they were thirteen, within that year, it
immediately showed declients there was impact. Smartphones are bad for kids.

(18:38):
I believe that smartphones should be given to adults, period end.
When your kid heads off to college. They want a smartphone,
they can buy one forty one minutes past the hour.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Enjoy.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Welcome to Mad Radio Network. It's the Morning Show with
Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
All Right, the show is gonna have a little bit
of a lighter feel to it. We're gonna gradually just
kind of just kind of mix things up a little bit.
Sort of think of it as like you're making you're
making your cookies and now we're you know, we're gonna
throw in the basic ingredients and we're gonna get to

(19:28):
the good stuff that you throw in there, and then
we're gonna ruin it all with what's the beef before
we reel it back in? No your calls during the
third hour always a highlight. And let me say this,
there are only two segments of what's the Beef left
for the year this week and next week. That's it.

(19:50):
So I'm just saying this might be the time clear
things out, get things right in your heart, mind, spirit
for the for the rest of the year. Wrote down
in the in the rundown, Minnesota and Oh Canada their neighbors.

(20:15):
If you wander around Minnesota, you'll hear people that sound
very much like Canadians and vice versa. It's it's it's
just it's a it's a it's an accent in that
whole region, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota. As you
get away from that exact, you know a little bit
maybe of Michigan, the Upper Peninsula. But Mike Lindell, my pillow,

(20:42):
he may file a run for governor or apparently he has.
He's gonna file. He's gonna take on Can you believe there?
They let Tim Wallas run for a third term. There's
no term limit. Are you nuts up there? It's like,
what are you? What's happen? Happened? How did Minnesota slip

(21:04):
to hell?

Speaker 4 (21:08):
And?

Speaker 1 (21:08):
I mean that literally, I mean what what happened? Walls
is going to run for a third term. His polling's terrible. Look,
Mike Lindell is a good man who loves Jesus. He

(21:35):
is waiting to be He wants to go to court
on his claims on the twenty twenty election being stolen.
He said, we have the evidence. He's invested in his
own money to find out. He said, we have the event.
I can't wait to go to court. He said, that's
why we haven't been to court. They know we have
the evidence. Some of the voting systems that were used

(21:57):
and compromised allegedly were threatening to sue him. Guys who
worked for Maybe Dominion suit him an individual guy. And
then the Canadian story. The Canadian pastor protested outside of

(22:18):
public library in Canada because drag queens were reading to children,
and he said this is wrong, and so he publicly
protested the fact that drag queens were being allowed in
public libraries to read to children. So he was arrested.

(22:38):
It gets worse, the court would later, at the end
of his sentence one year of house confinement, ordered him
to apologize. He refused, I'm not going to apologize for
something that I believe wholeheartedly I'm right about. They arrested
him again. Calgary pastor Derek Grimer arrested for refusing court

(23:07):
ordered apology. Not gonna do it. This is happening more
and more across the globe. We've got another example of
this in the UK that you won't believe it has
a Florida connection. We'll share that next hour forty seven

(23:29):
past the hour, It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Good Morning, everybody, A news radio one hundred point seven UFLA.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Gotta let it build fifty two passed the hour, tomorrow's
the day, rain or shine. They're doing it. And boy
am I grateful for the rain. We need the rain,

(24:21):
so I am not going to complain about rain in
the forecast for the next few days. Yes, good, we
need it. Our plants needed, our shrubs needed, our lawns needed.
Now let me go ahead and throw this out there.
If any of you have have cracked the code on

(24:42):
beating moles, I'd love to know it, because moles are
killing me. I've got a beautiful yard, and moles are
killing me. I've tried the different kinds of I'll say

(25:09):
it traps, I've tried different kinds of baits. I've I've
listened to the well, you know, you gotta find that
main tunnel. Good luck. Yeah, you go right ahead and
find that main tunnel. I'm just like I'm I'm now

(25:32):
to the point where it's like, okay, I am going
to do everything I can to kill their food source.
I haven't been as diligent killing grubs in in in
my in my yard as I probably should. On your
way down there, you know. And that's and that's what
they're They're out there, they're munching on bugs. But if

(25:55):
you've got a trick that works, that works, you can
prove to me it works. I'd love to hear it.
Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Just send me a note.
Don't tell me marshmallows. I tried that marshmallows don't work.
The rumor was that you put those little mini marshmallows

(26:15):
in the hole and that they chew on them and
their stomach digestion system can't handle it, and they just
and they didn't work for me. I probably have moles
that do s'mores. But if you have a surefire this works,

(26:36):
let me know. Because Dad gummet anyway, rain or shine tomorrow.
That's just a detour in the program, free of charge.
That was not planned. It was not in the Rundown
Toys for Tot's Ride tomorrow nine thirty at the Walmart
on Appleachi Parkway nine to thirty. Bring an unwrapped new

(26:56):
toy and there'll be some music, ven and meals. For
those of you bringing an unwrapped toy, you can meet
Santa Tu. I'd say the big guy will be there.
But then you would think that was me. Then they'll
ride to Capital City Harley at eleven so at nine
thirty tomorrow morning, all right, and then we're a week

(27:19):
away from the Living Christmas Story by Claren Methodist Church.
Clarn Methodist Church, not United Methodist Church. So we're down
with them. So there you go. That's that's what's going on,
all right. In case you have not heard, Jose was

(27:40):
stabbed last night. He's doing okay, he's here running the program.
He did stab himself, all right, so that probably needs
to be said as well. So you just keep it
on the road there, all right. So take your time
driving and enjoy the second hour of the Morning Show
with Preston Scott, which is coming up next. Don't forget

(28:02):
Orphanshade dot com. We're twenty three hundred dollars away Orphanshade
dot com. Click that donate button House number six.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
I'm doing some of the ballet moves I learned years
ago as a dancer, dancing through that that that music
just evokes, jumping and spinning and throwing your hands up
in the air, doing stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
But I'm done now, hold on, okay, back seeded. Welcome
down to the second hour of the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. Great to be with you.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
It is.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Our Friday show, which means what's the beef comes up
in the third hour of the program. But we begin
with this. You probably don't know about this case before
the Supreme Court. First Choice Women's Resource Center. It's being

(29:36):
represented by Alliance Defending Freedom. We've had some guests from them.
From that organization, I should say on the program. They
provide free ultrasounds, STDs, testing, baby clothes, counseling and more.
But the New Jersey Attorney General's office is trying to
make a political example of First Choice because they provide

(29:56):
pro life and religious alternatives to the ext dream abortion
views of the Attorney General in the state of New Jersey.
And so this case is in front of the US
Supreme Court. The attorney representing the state of New Jersey
is in a back and forth with one of the justices.

(30:22):
The lawyer is soundep Ire Son deep Ire is his name,
and Clarence Thomas is notoriously quiet. When Clarence Thomas starts
firing off questions, every justice takes note. This is what

(30:44):
happened inside the courtroom.

Speaker 6 (30:47):
Did you have complaints that formed the basis of your
concern about the fundraising activities here.

Speaker 7 (30:57):
We certainly had complaints about Crisis Pregnant and c centers
that petition.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
About this Crisis Pregnancy center.

Speaker 7 (31:04):
So I think we've been clear from the outset that
we haven't had complaints about this specific So you had.

Speaker 6 (31:09):
No basis to think that they were deceiving any of
their contributors.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
I don't think.

Speaker 7 (31:15):
I don't think that's correct, your honor. I think we
had carefully canvassed all of the public information that has
provided on the website of First Choice in making a
determination that we wanted to initiate an investigation.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
But you had no factual basis.

Speaker 7 (31:32):
I don't think that's true, your honor. I think, for example,
you could take a look at a comparison between the
donation page for First Choice that we have carved out from.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
The very beginning. So you had no complainants, We.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Had no complaints.

Speaker 7 (31:46):
But the state governments federal government initiate investigations all the
time in the absence of complaints where they have a
reason to suspect that there could be potential issues of
legal compliance.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
And look, it could be the case.

Speaker 7 (31:59):
Based on our investigation when we look at documents, when
we look at information that ultimately will determine that First
Choice isn't liable for any violation.

Speaker 6 (32:08):
It just seemed to be a burdensome way to find
out whether someone has a confusing website. But you said
earlier that you did not agree with their characterization of
why they were being put to this, and it would

(32:29):
seem that the obvious way to refute that was to
say we had one hundred complaints, But you say you
have no complaints, but rather you looked at the website
and their materials and you think it could have been misleading.
So why is your characterization any better than theirs?

Speaker 7 (32:48):
So, your honor, i'd point you to the Turner Declaration,
which is at pages four hundred to four one hundred
and one of the Joint Appendix, which lays out the
predicate for the state's investigation. A First Choice and had
concerns in four buckets. We had concerns about potentially misleading donors.
We had concerns about the unlicensed practice of medicine, we
had concerns about patient privacy practices, and we had concerns

(33:09):
about potentially misleading or untrue medical statements. So I think
we had a more than ample basis to initiate this investigation.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
In medical and we had no complaints. But I think
that your honor that.

Speaker 7 (33:21):
Goes at most to the merits that doesn't go to
the standing analysis.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
This is an egregious attack for nothing other than bullying
a pregnancy center, and they have nothing to say about
planned parenthood, killing babies, harvesting organs. I'll have more on

(33:54):
that next week, perhaps ten minutes past that, as promised
courtesy of the Babylon B Husbands Seventeen Things They're good for.

(34:20):
This was shared by the lead research assistant of the program.
Marriage is an endless bouquet of blessings and discoveries, and
with each new day bringing joys and delights to those
who joined in the Divine Covenant. That being said, what
are husbands good for exactly? Wives can rest easy as
the Babylon B has compiled the following exhaustive list of

(34:44):
benefits of having a husband. Number one opening your Amazon
boxes with a multi tool arm candy. Now you'll finally
get all the looks when you arrive at parties. Number
three when your car makes funny noise. It's particularly helpful
after you run over something again explaining things that are

(35:07):
far too complicated for women to understand. An essential service
provided by all husbands. Ordering a dessert when you say
you're not hungry, and letting you eat most of it.
He knew you wanted it, even though you said you didn't.
Number six ruthlessly but expertly executing any spiders that dare
to frighten you. He's a cold blooded killing machine that husband,

(35:31):
as long as the spider doesn't get on him. Seven
Providing an adequate substitute parent when mom is unavailable for
at least a few minutes a day. He's a reliable guardian. Eight,
serving as an in bed warmer for your ice cold toes,
whether he wants to or not. Nine having much greater

(35:53):
odds in a fight against a gorilla. He'll last at
least seventeen seconds, whereas you wouldn't make it more than full.
Any obscure task you need done while he's working from home,
it's not like he has other things he needs to do.
You can just get your husband to do whatever you
need done whenever you need it. Number eleven briefly holding

(36:17):
your purse while you go tinkle. It's better than handing
it to a stranger. Number twelve. Sorry that just Number
twelve describing the full plot of a movie so that
you don't have to pay attention. Feel free to scroll
on your phone until the final scene. Then have him
give you the full synopsis. Thirteen purchasing your feminine products

(36:41):
for you so you don't have to feel awkward at
the grocery store. Send him late at night so every
employee in the store can watch him. Sorry, I had
it made me laugh so hard I coughed. Number fourteen.
Serving as a constant source of Civil war facts. You

(37:02):
never know when you'll need something about the Battle of
Antietam Fifteen. Doing most of the work on home improvement
project you impulsively started. Just a quick eighty man hours
of work, No big deal. Sixteen Suggesting places to eat
so you can make a face and shake your head. No,
you know what you really want, but let him try

(37:24):
to figure it out. Number seventeen Answering your questions about
the sermon after church, since you're not allowed to speak
during the service, just like the Bible says. So those
are the that's satire, friends, It's just seventeen things husbands
are good for. Courtesy of the Battlin be more from

(37:47):
the B. At the end of the program, we'll have
the headlines of the B. We've got animal stories coming up.
Speaking of, my email box is blown up with mole
riddance suggestions. I can't wait to take a look at these.
The one that that immediately got my intention was I
had multiple golf ground superintendents tell me they use juicy

(38:10):
fruit juicy fruit gum. I'll read up on this. There's
an article attached. Okay, all right, sixteen passes Christmas, Christmas.

Speaker 8 (38:25):
Christmas here sorry, three two one, Here is the number.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Two, three hundred and eighty nine dollars. Anybody want to
stroke a check for twenty three hundred and eighty nine dollars.
You would have the satisfaction of knowing that if you
made that donation Orphan Shade right now, we would be
at fifty five thousand dollars. Goal met Mike, drop dust

(39:11):
off the shoulder. Dust off the shoulder. Friends, you're about
to do this Orphanshade dot com. Fifty five thousand dollars
in one month. You all are amazing. More people have

(39:32):
donated this year than ever before. Well, we did. We
did one other fundraiser for Orphan Shade in twenty twenty
two raised just about forty thousand dollars just over forty thousand.
This is fifty five. Now they're smoking it. Well done,
Orphanshade dot Com donate button, build a house comments House number.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
Six in the wild or in our homes. We love
them Critters, large and small. Time for another edition of
animal Stories on The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
This from The Daily Caller. Allegedly, according to Scientific American,
citing peer reviewed studies, urban raccoons have shorter snouts than
rural ones, an early hallmark of domestication. There is thought

(40:36):
that some raccoons are becoming domesticated and will be pets
in a matter of time. If you have an animal
that lives close to humans, you have to be well
behaved enough that selection pressure is quite intense. So researchers

(40:58):
are arguing that the domestication often starts without human breeding programs.
Animals bold enough and calm enough to work the buffet
of our refuse, thrive near people passing along, tamer temperaments,
and over generations subtle anatonomical shifts. So they believe the

(41:21):
raccoon results line up with what happened to foxes. And
mice allegedly. Okay, now, while we're on the subject of raccoons,
this might be one of the best animal stories of
the year. Virginia Hanover. They came into the store to

(41:51):
find that it had been ransacked, broken bottles of booze
all over on Black Friday, and a raccoon had gone
on a liquor fueled rampage. How do they know, because

(42:15):
they followed a trail of smashed liquor bottles straight to
the bathroom, where they found the raccoon passed out, face
down next to the toilet. I mean all fours, totally
and completely zonked, not dead, hungover, officials said. Police brought

(42:45):
the furry bandit to the animal shelter to sober up.
After a few hours of sleep, zero signs of injury
other than hangover. In poor life choices, he was safely
released back to the wild. The picture of this raccoon
passed out laying by the side of the toilet like

(43:09):
he couldn't quite get there to vomit. This is one
of the best things I've ever seen, they say. Hopefully
he's learned that breaking and entering is not the answer.
Too good. Twenty seven minutes past the hour back with

(43:32):
more of The Morning Show with Preston.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
Scott Sensey of sensibility, communicator of common sense amplified. It's
the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I fear and had

(43:58):
some shopping help moments away. They we'll get you ready
for what's the.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Beef and then take your calls at the top of
the hour. It's Friday here on the Morning Show. Remember
Orphanshade dot com. Orphanshade dot com, click that donate button
and do the best you can get us another twenty
three hundred and some change and we are uh, we
are calling it a rap. We'll be at fifty five

(44:21):
thousand dollars and we will be building House number six.
They hope to build it this coming year, twenty twenty six,
right after home number five. They they're actually not right
after they Jay explained on the program Monday. They hope
to build them simultaneously. They've never done that. That's cool.

(44:43):
So Orphanshade dot Com, House number six is what you
want to be commenting that you're giving to all right,
So we've arrested the pipe bomb suspect five years They
said there was no new information. What does that tell
you I'm I'm not digging deep into this story yet

(45:05):
because I just am not comfortable that we know enough there.
For example, you remember it was just a few weeks
ago we went through the Gate analysis, the walking analysis
that said it was a female, that they had a
probability factor of accuracy of over ninety percent. So bad
news for this brother. He walks like a girl and

(45:28):
that's number one. But apparently they've got a boatload of
evidence against him. We'll find out. He'll have his day
in court. It's alleged, but five years why wouldn't if
let's just do the what if here? And I don't
know that I'm going to get to the other big stories.

(45:49):
What if this is the guy? All right, let's let's
let's go with that for now, Cash Betel dan Bon,
do you know who headed the investigation, the district attorney
or whoever is in charge of that area, Judge, I

(46:12):
think it's Janeine Piro said, they have a mountain of evidence.
This guy's a low key he's a seven and eleven
walk the dog, No, nothing lives with his mom. But
that they have all the evidence. Now, why would the

(46:36):
FBI under Christopher Ray, under Merrick Garland, the Department of Justice.
Why would they sit on this for five years? If
this is accurate? What is in this the guy plays

(47:00):
at the DNC, the RNC and these were legit bombs.
If if they got no new leads and they simply
looked at the information that was there, the old fresh

(47:22):
set of eyes type thing, Why in five years, sorry
four didn't the previous administration break this case. Is there

(47:43):
a reason why this guy was allowed to stay off
the radar? Is there a reason why he was ignored?
And again that's based on a presupposition that this is
a good arrest and he's the guy. Doesn't this lead
to a ton more questions? Cash Pattel I listened to

(48:07):
the press conference yesterday, said well, no more, we'll we'll
all kinds of information will be coming out. They have
to be careful. They can't prejudice a jury, they can't
go too far. They've got they got to be smart.
Let's let this guy have his day in court. And
I don't know, I just I'm not there yet. I'm

(48:28):
just not there yet. We'll see, We'll see where this
all leads. Another big story here, Children given smartphones by
the age of twelve have a greater risk of about
three or four different things depression, obesity, sleeplessness, and more.
And if they get the phone at thirteen, those things
start kicking in right away. So the advice of the

(48:50):
study is don't give your kids a smartphone. Now. I
personally would advise, having lived through this and made mistakes
as a parent, I would say no smartphones until they're
in college and they're paying for it themselves. That would
be my advice. Flip phone and check their texts, check

(49:10):
their contacts, know everybody that's on their phone. Everybody like
to see your contact list, please. And the key to
all of that is starting when they're little, verifying everything
when they're little, that way, when they're in middle school
and high school. This is what mom and dad do
all my life. Nothing new because here's the card they play.

(49:33):
You don't trust me, talk on right, I don't trust you.
You're a teenager. That's all you need to know. But
if you're doing it all their life, it's what you
do forty minutes past that.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
Some subjects will just make you furious. Don't worry. We're
here to make it all better. It's The Morning Show
with Preston.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
Scott All Right before I give you our shopping website
tip for the day, I wanted to go through a
list I found on the Federalist. The Ultimate Gift Guide
for the trad Wife in your life means kind of

(50:22):
an old school traditional wife. And they've got a list
of twenty five different gift ideas. Federalist has this Federalist
dot com, the Federalist dot Com. I'm going to zero
in on just a few of them. Seasonal spoon rests.
Traditional wife loves to cook. Now, if that's not, If

(50:42):
that's not, you, don't be offended. I'm just helping out
those who might be married to someone who's seasonal, and
guys struggle ficking out gifts for their wives. I'm not
one of those, but many do. Seasonal spoon rests, not
generic ones. This lady recommends getting individual plates, small plates

(51:09):
that can act as spoon rests that are seasonal, that
can be charted out every four times a year. That's
smart idea. Those plates will run you twenty bucks or less.
Analog kitchen timer twist it, let it go. It's close enough,

(51:30):
remember those those old school timers doing It'll be close enough.
Non toxic cooking utensils always good. There's all kinds of
things in here about knitting and crocheting and all that whatever.

(51:52):
I don't know many that are still into that. Some are,
and if they are there you go things for knitting
and crocheting. Primarily Pure Everything spray. This is from a
company famous for its deodorant. It's got a multitasking mist
formulated with naturally antibacterial ingredients like alo magnesium, apple cider

(52:17):
or vinegar to calm inflammation, purify skin, promote healthy healing
from head to toe. This lady's used it in place
of fabrize. It's called primarily primarily Pure Everything spray. Bird
feeders are always good. Who doesn't like looking at birds?

(52:40):
A wooden recipe box with a recipe card ledge. Some
people like doing the recipes on the old cards. There
is something very cool about that. Egg holders a drying dish,
a dish drying stone. You don't have to wash it.

(53:02):
It just absorbs the water and it's just sitting there
and it looks good. A French buttercrock keeps it at
the right temperature, soft pliable butter. You just put it inside.
It's protected. I'm just saying I'm stimulating the thought process.
If you've got a traditional leaning wife. Okay, so there

(53:23):
you go. Now here's your website of the day. It
is Signals dot Com. Signals dot com simple as that
it has everything. It's just got a bunch of stuff
and it has every price point in the world. I've

(53:47):
gotten their catalogs for years. So we've gotten Kevin's Catalog
dot Com, seventeen seventy six, United dot Com, Little Obsessed
Little Things dot Com, Men'sgear dot net, and today Signals
dot com. So look at that. Five suggestions from this
week to help you out with your Christmas shopping. You're welcome.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Remember the days when times were good and life was simple.
He still lives there. The Morning Show with Preston Scott
on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA where they're

(54:38):
in the.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Program in case you missed it, we talked about how
things have gone really bad in Canada. They're arresting now
a pastor for not apologizing because he complained outside of
a public library, protested drag queens reading to children. Didn't
touch anybody, he didn't harm anybody. This actually is worse.

(55:06):
You ready, you probably have never heard the name John
RICHELLEU booth. He is the director and owner of Phoenix
Evolution Consulting in the UK. It Consulting came to the

(55:31):
United States over July fourth to celebrate his fiftieth birthday
with friends here in the States, and he came to Florida, Hey,
Sunshine State, Come on buddy. During the visit, he was
invited to shoot a gun for the first time. He'd
never done it. They were shooting and they offered me

(55:54):
the opportunity to as a brit who'd never handled guns,
to handle a gun. After returning home to the UK,
he posted a series of photos from his trip. A
day or two after sharing the post, police showed up
at his house to tell him someone had made a complaint.
They warned him to be careful about what he posts online.

(56:15):
Ten days later, police returned forced their way into his
home at ten thirty in the evening and arrested him.
He was told the arrest stemmed from the firearm photos
and a separate post. Authorities claimed amounted to stalking and harassment.

(56:36):
He was questioned and held overnight before being released. Seven
weeks later, he said he was arrested again on the
allegation that he breached bail, which he says was based
on a false complaint. True. The complaints were tied to
a dispute with a former client, he said. He said,
I contracted with a gentleman's business to deliver works for

(56:58):
the government, and those works were still unpaid. Two years later.
He explained that a business partner had taken a photo
outside the man's home while delivering a final demand notice,
a step he said was lawful because the photo was
taken from a public area. So this guy, because he
posted a photo of him in the United States shooting

(57:21):
at a range or wherever, has been arrested and is
now being harassed by British law enforcement. This is where
free speech. This is where I mean. This is beyond
even free speech. This is what I can't take a

(57:45):
photo of what I did in the States on a vacation. Friends,
These are examples of what's coming our way. The intolerance
of the left demands it. So these stories are shared,

(58:10):
knowing full good and well the absurdity of it all,
but that it nonetheless happens. It's happening in Canada, it's
happening in the UK. Two of our closest allies, they're

(58:31):
arresting people in the UK for having an opinion about homosexuality.
That's considering. That's considered now harassment to say that it's
a sin. It is. It's now against a law to
say stuff like that, to post things like that. What's

(58:57):
the bee Friday is next. The phone lines. There are
four of them. They are open and available. Now. Reminder,
it might take a second longer than normal because Jose
is still staggering a little bit from being stabbed last night.
He was involved in a stabbing incident. He's okay. It
did not require him going to the hospital. But being

(59:18):
the manly man he is, he's here. He's a gamer.
It was a stabbing inflicted by himself. I mean, he
stabbed himself, but it's still a stabbing. Nonetheless, he called
it more of a slashing. So give it a second.
Eight five zero two zero five to BFLA. That's the
phone number. Call now, four lines open. Call now eight

(59:39):
five zero two zero five WFLA. There is one line open,

(01:00:06):
eight five zero two zero five to BFLA eight five
zero two zero five ninety three fifty two. It is
time for what's the beef? Whatever you want to complain about,
as long as you listen to direction, no profanity don't
make it personal and no screaming reparations. You can call

(01:00:30):
in eight five zero two zero five to BFLA George,
Thanks for being patient. You're up first. What's the beef?

Speaker 4 (01:00:36):
Good morning, Preston with the mole thing about the cat, Yeah,
the cat. The cat should be named juicy Fruit. I
was wondering how they knew what my cat's name was.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
That's funny.

Speaker 4 (01:00:50):
I'm just kidding. My beef is with our city commissioners
taking a hai did as much as you can, you know,
doubling their salary rays.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:01:04):
I just don't know when people of Tallahassee are going
to come to the their senses and and and stop
all this foolishness. I hate to say we need to
get term limits, but I think anybody, any listeners that
knows the governor, whatever the governor, can go in and
stop this, this foolishness of having no districts in a
city commission. I think Tallahassee is the biggest city that

(01:01:27):
doesn't in Florida that doesn't have districts, and uh it
is this is just it's just crazy pressing and it's
one more uh you know, middle finger to the voters
and citizens of Tallahassee and a and a thumb to
the nose, so to speak. And uh, you know, uh
we wonder why our property taxes and fees are so exorbitant.

(01:01:49):
It's things like this, and it's just they just don't care.
And I think it's time to get all of them out,
to be honest with you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
Thank you, George, appreciate that. If you weren't aware, it
was a referendum you voted on in twenty twenty four,
those of you that live in the Tallasse area, you
gave city commissioners you doubled their salary and they didn't
even tell you what that was going to be. But
it will be doubled. It will be what county commissioners
get indefinitely. So there you go, Greg, gear up, what's

(01:02:19):
the beef?

Speaker 9 (01:02:20):
While you were blessed to write the eulogy for Bill
Catterall and Sunday's Tallahassee Democrat. Further back in the paper,
what was the Democratic socialist drivel? Created by Andrew Sparr,
president of the Florida Education Association.

Speaker 10 (01:02:39):
He first said, the School of Hope expansion is quote
it is literally a hostile takeover of public schools. I
e that it is an end around the Supreme Court
decision Brown versus Board of Education, And then when Florida
became the first state to sign the declaration, he said, quote,

(01:03:03):
they're operating on a political ideology, trying to infuse his
vision of politics at our schools and lead by threats
and intimidation. Very bleeping Christmas, fella.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
Thank you, thanks, Greg, appreciate the call. Eight five zero
two zero five WFLA. Let's fit one more caller in
before the weather and traffic break Ray, you're up. What's
the beef, brother?

Speaker 11 (01:03:26):
My beef is.

Speaker 12 (01:03:28):
The lack of head rolling.

Speaker 11 (01:03:30):
You know why that we have so much fraud in Minnesota?
Do you know why the commercial trucking schools fifty percent
of them have been committing fraud. Do you know why
that it took four years with no new information for
the FBI Because a lack of responsibility, a lack of prosecution,

(01:03:51):
and people thinking they can get away with anything. We've
got to get back to where there are penalties for
breaking the law or not doing your job.

Speaker 13 (01:04:03):
We have to get back there.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
I thought you were going to tell me the reason
why it didn't happen is they were busy.

Speaker 11 (01:04:09):
Oh, oh, they were absolutely FBI. They were busy going
through Malania's underwear drawer and proving that white supremacy is
the greatest threat to all mankind. And then yeah, whoever
was heading up that part of the department, their heads
need to roll to Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
Very much, Ray, well done as always. Matt. Then, Juanita,
what about you. We've got a line open. Eight five
zero two zero five to BFLA. We got one line open,
three callers standing by, and Matt's up next. Here in
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
Show with Preston Scott, This is the Way on News
Radio one point seven double UFLA.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
Not the last time, but the second to the last time.
We take your calls for the year for what's the Beef?
Second segment of Audio Therapy. If it matters to you,
it matters to us, We'll pretend if we have to
eight five zero two zero five to b FLA. Matt,
thank you for your patients, you are up and what's
the Beef?

Speaker 13 (01:05:20):
Thank you.

Speaker 12 (01:05:21):
I'm so proud to be in one of these segments there.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
It's it's incredible for me.

Speaker 12 (01:05:25):
But you know what, there's there's a lack of interest
the lack of knowledge about this multi use trail that
we have running from Pedrick all the way to the
boat landing on Highway ninety at Lake Makasuki. I was
at a meeting a couple of week I have neighbors
that don't even know about this thing. The States proposed
a fifty two million dollars I don't know, it's a

(01:05:47):
slap on their back. They want to make this nice
little bike trail all along Highway ninety, and well, fifty
two million dollars will never cover it. I mean the
change orders alone will probably exceed at least fifty percent
of that. And they've got three bridges to build. There's
going to be stopping go paddles all along Highway ninety.
It's a huge thoroughfare for us that have to come

(01:06:08):
to work for twelve miles into Tallahassee. The money would
be more well spent making it a four lane all
the way to Monticello. I mean, people do not know
about it. The rags that we have for papers in
town have not said one word. No one knows, even
living along Highway ninety what's going on. The group that

(01:06:30):
was at the meeting was so small, and this is
all depicted from a group of women in Chipley. That
are you want to puddle these bikers all on Highway
ninety It's just anyone that's an avid biker never goes
down a bike trail. We built miles of it on
ninety eight and all you see is four wheelers and
side by sides and you name it. The big majority

(01:06:53):
of bikers want to go right down the road forty
five mile an hour, but they don't want these scenic
pass I think it's a waste of money, and I
just I think word needs to get out.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
Do me a favor, Matt, send me at Preston at
iHeartRadio dot com. Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Send me
any any links, any uh you know sources you have
on this entire thing, and uh let me let me
see what I can dig up and find out. I
appreciate the phone call. It opens up a line. Let's
go to Juanita. Juanita, good morning and welcome.

Speaker 14 (01:07:25):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
What's the beef?

Speaker 14 (01:07:28):
My beef is with that Christmas list that you were
suggested earlier for.

Speaker 15 (01:07:33):
A husband to buy.

Speaker 14 (01:07:34):
Why no, well, no kitchen stuff. Let me go ahead
and tell you they like dimians and for fun me
different things. But my beef is that list you said earlier.
I know, be a great with you, Preston, but that
that list wasn't great.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
Okay, hold on, hold on, now, that's fair for you,
But there are some women that would appreciate some of
those gifts. And let's be candid, there are some women
that would appreciate any gift from their husband that was
something other than a gift card.

Speaker 14 (01:08:12):
God no, but I'm telling you, if you serve, I
feat a bunch of women.

Speaker 3 (01:08:18):
They went long kitchen stuff.

Speaker 11 (01:08:20):
I gotta walk one near.

Speaker 14 (01:08:21):
I didn't appreciate that walk.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
Tell me this, do you trust your husband to pick
out your perfume?

Speaker 14 (01:08:29):
Guess? Okay, he's done good.

Speaker 16 (01:08:31):
He's done great with Jurie.

Speaker 14 (01:08:34):
But that's not be for today. Pressed.

Speaker 1 (01:08:38):
That's fine. I can take it, Wanita, thanks very much.
I appreciate the laugh that went along with that too.
That's fair. Kyle, you're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 17 (01:08:48):
Hey, Preston, good morning, and Merry Christmas as well. I
just want to put in a little complaint on the
news this morning, on the national scale or by side,
they put in there all of a sudden that there
were instead of how many people were saved by these
boats being blown up, but how many people were killed.
Eighty four guys were killed. That doesn't break my heart
at all. You know that there are a lot of

(01:09:11):
people out there are dying from what they're bringing in,
and they're probably saving tens of thousands of deaths by
these boats being destroyed. So once again the national media
is looking at it totally incorrectly. Eighty four deaths compared
to tens of thousands. It doesn't add up.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
I hear you one hundred percent. That is a very
fair criticism, Thank you, sir. But again I've told you
there's been a little slip on Fox. It is our
news source. They're better than what else is out there
for us. But see there's a discerning listener right there,

(01:09:50):
which is why he's listening to this show. Well done, sir,
And we got John, We've got Gerald, we got one
lane open. It's what's the beef.

Speaker 3 (01:10:05):
Usla on your phone with the iHeart radio app and
on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home, Xbox, and Sonos.

Speaker 18 (01:10:12):
So here we go Iheart's radio season, franking out the
phone calls what's the beef Friday?

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. He's ose
stabbing victim and a phone screener for the day as always,
second to the last session of therapy next week is it?
That's the final what's the Beef for the year, and
then we'll be back after the start of the year
and we'll start all over again with another new season

(01:10:47):
of the Morning Show. But let's go back to the
phone line. John is standing by. Good morning, John, you're up.
What's the beef?

Speaker 19 (01:10:54):
Hey, good morning the President, belated, Happy Thanksgiving, the early
ry Christmas in case I don't get back in again,
and thank y'all again for what y'all do for problem
to help you on, to try to help you a
little bit with your bowl problem.

Speaker 13 (01:11:06):
There.

Speaker 19 (01:11:06):
It'll take a little time, but all you need is
two red six inch bricks. You take one brick standing
on its edge, put it down in front of where
the mole trench is coming, and take that other brick,
and whenever the mole gets to that brick, he's either
gonna go under or over it. Either way, mash it
with the other brick you got. That's one hundred percent effective.
You just have to put in a lot of time

(01:11:26):
waiting on it to happen.

Speaker 1 (01:11:28):
Yeah, yeah, you had success with this or with this routine.

Speaker 19 (01:11:34):
No, I'm just good at standing on the pond, damn
and telling somebody to tread water. But I have a
lot of good ideas that I can't even use myself,
but I like to pass them on.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
I appreciate that. Got anything else, Yes, I would.

Speaker 19 (01:11:46):
The real quickly. I'd like to address the uh, the
double tapping on the doat boat. I compare it to
if you shot around into a tank current and you
killed half the crew and the other half got out.
You wouldn't spend your fire. You would continue firing because
they're combatants. War is one big atrocity, and if you
want to compete in it, you better compete in it

(01:12:08):
to win. You can't compete and win with an umpire
and armchair warriors and people's second gifts and you. That's
what causes gios to wind up killing the sale because
people load them up with guilt that they shouldn't be carrying.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
Thank you, sir, you have a good day. Thank you,
John appreciate that. Let's go to Gerald. Gerald, you are up.
What's the beef?

Speaker 16 (01:12:27):
Hey, good morning. Well they still haven't cut all the
trees down and people are still decorating their license plates.
My question is, in the sports world, why do the
jersey numbers? You know, when you look for someone, you
try to find somebody what position they are, or it
just doesn't mesh with the jersey's numbers. They got numbers

(01:12:49):
with the fifties on offensive line and linebackers with the
number four. That's incredible. What's the story with that? You
don't know?

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
Well, I mean they it depends. First of all, if
we're talking about professional football. They've kind of changed the
rules on that a couple of years ago, and there
are some limits, but there aren't many.

Speaker 16 (01:13:11):
Huh, all right, that's it. Everybody knows the news, so
you know the rest of the store we don't know
about either.

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
So yeah, gotcha.

Speaker 16 (01:13:20):
Can I tell you nice weekend, Merry Christmas, if I'll
talk to happy Hanukah and the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (01:13:25):
Thank you, Jerald, appreciate that. Yeah, if I'm not mistaken.
The offensive line, I think it's about the only one
that's still restricted. I think they got to be in
the fifties, sixties or seventies on the offensive line, but
I think about anywhere else, it's sort of a free
kind of thing. I mean, look, Micah Parsons, we're number
one for the Green Bay Packers that has been Warren

(01:13:46):
since Curly Lambeau. We're number one. All right, two callers left,
and that's it. We go to Patricia. Patricia, you are up.
What's the beef?

Speaker 14 (01:13:55):
My beef is. I was at FSU and a Diehardshu's
fan from before Bobby Vowden, and I suffered through Jeff
and Willie and Jimbo, and I still stuck it out.
But I'm telling you, I'm having a hard time. And

(01:14:16):
you know it's not all Mike Norvel's fault. It is
the new system that they do not have. It's just
a mess, and it makes college football not even enjoyable.
So I'm just frustrated, and I've got to stick it
out a little bit longer and hopefully they'll.

Speaker 11 (01:14:34):
Get it fit.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
Thank you, Patricia. I appreciate that, and hopefully you feel
better just kind of getting it said. Here's what I'll say.
I will take Mike Norvel over Lane Kiff in ten
days out of ten. You heard it. Mike Norvel cares,
he loves the school, he is loyal. Have things been yes?

(01:15:01):
Do they need to improve. Yes, but I am so
glad Lane Kiffin is not coming to Florida State University.
Just ask his players at ole Miss what they think
of him after reading what he claims was said in
the locker room. Final caller is Lance Lance, good morning.

Speaker 13 (01:15:19):
I made the show.

Speaker 15 (01:15:20):
I feel like I'm on the price is right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:22):
Come on, come on down, Lance, come on down.

Speaker 13 (01:15:25):
And I love koshno roll.

Speaker 15 (01:15:27):
We're blessed to have him. Here's my beef, all right,
and keep it general. Picking up food, local business owners.
The easiest task is welcoming people, say hello.

Speaker 13 (01:15:36):
Greet them. You're Jose was awesome.

Speaker 15 (01:15:38):
Actually didn't need to come on the show. He made
me feel great five minutes ago, Preston. But picking up food,
walking in a store saying hello, I don't know when
we lost that. My best job I had thirty plus
years ago was selling shoes and our owner was all
about make sure you look at them, welcome them, ask
them if they need help.

Speaker 17 (01:15:57):
When did that go away?

Speaker 13 (01:15:58):
I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:59):
I don't either. And Jose has brought his Chick fil
A background to customer service on this program. And keep
this in mind, Lance, he's a stabbing victim today.

Speaker 13 (01:16:11):
I can't believe it. I'm glad he's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
Preston, Yep, me too, me too, very Christmas, Merry Christmas, brother,
Thanks very much for the phone call. Yeah, if you
didn't hear the news, you'm self inflicted, of course. But
he's nonetheless all right from the ground up. Next on
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.

welcome for ends to the final half hour of the
Friday Show. Here the Morning Show with Preston Scott Show
and seven. But who's counting? He's Jose, I'm Preston, and
this is Devin from Esposito's Garden Center. Devin, good morning.

(01:17:11):
How are you friend?

Speaker 13 (01:17:13):
Doing good? How about you?

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
I'm doing well. Solve the riddle for me? Is it
is it okay to plant a citrus tree in the winter.

Speaker 13 (01:17:24):
Actually, it is, as long as you're willing to do
a little bit of precautions. You know, we just got
in a ton of citrus and some of it, you know,
is way more cold hearty than others. Like if you're
planting a satsuma or grapefruit or orange, those you really
don't have to worry too much about, you know, unless
we get the snow like last year right right right accident.

(01:17:46):
But I mean no, I mean you can plan them now.
It's just fine. And it's actually winters a great time
to plant the citrus because when it's cooler and we
are getting a little bit more rain right now, their
roots are still going to grow in the winter while
it's chilly, because they're not gonna have any top growth.
Their roots are gonna grow, and that's gonna give you
a head start for next summer when it gets hot,

(01:18:07):
they'll already have, you know, a couple extra months to
get going, and then when it gets hot they can
really just root off and take in and get going
and get you what you want, which is some citrus.

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
What are the most important considerations if someone's dropping a
citrus plant in a tree into the ground in terms
of you know, planning and planting it properly.

Speaker 13 (01:18:29):
So there's a couple things to really think about. One
is location. You want to pick a location that's gonna
get at least six hours of direct sun. The more
sun you get it, I always like to tell people,
the more sun you give it, the more fruit you're
gonna get.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (01:18:45):
You know, if you don't have a full full sun spot,
that's it's okay. You can plan it. As long as
it's getting six hours of sun, you're still gonna get
some fruit. Okay. So that's one. The second one is
gonna be, you know, choose give it some room because
they do get big. I mean on the variety, they'll
get up to fifteen feet tall ten feet wide. So
you know, you wouldn't want to plant it right next

(01:19:06):
to your house and let it grow into your house.
You know, make sure you plant it the right you know,
distance away from anything so it's not going to grow
into your house or take over other bushes. And then
just you know, when you plant it, you want to
make sure you amend the hole really good. Dig your
hole twice as wide, no deeper. Amend it with the
Michigan feet half Michigan feet half existing soil, and then

(01:19:26):
make sure you give it some biotone when you put
it in the ground. If you do those steps, that
thing is going to do great all winter.

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
So all right, all right, and then address this. Address
this one though, Devin. When you put the tree in
the ground, are you wanting that thing to be lifted
up with a little rim around it or sunk down
with a rim around it to retain moisture. People do
it different ways, and some I think fail miserably.

Speaker 13 (01:19:55):
Yeah. The biggest problem I see is you want to
make sure when you planet, you leave that root ball
up a ditch out of the ground, because it's going
to settle as you water it and everything. That dirt's
loose down there, so it's gonna settle. So if you
plant it flush, it's gonna sink down. And that's where
people run into issues because it'll sink down, dirt will
go on top of that root ball form a layer,

(01:20:16):
and then the plant can't breathe. So, yes, that is
a good point. You want to make sure you leave
that root all out at least an inch and just
mount the soil up to it to make like a
little mound, and you can do the rim. That's always
good to help. If you're just gonna rely on mother
nature to water it, make sure you do that dirt
rim to make the rings so it has a little
well to fill up with water.

Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
All right, a couple of minutes left here real quickly,
let's touch on camellias because I was at the store
recently and you guys have a boat load of camellias there.
What what what are the des and don'ts on planning those? Man?

Speaker 13 (01:20:47):
It's caamelia season for sure. I love them. I mean
one and it's kind of like the citrus, right plant
for right place. So there's two different types of chamelias
we have, well, we have another one. We're not gonna
talk about that, but we have to sink us, which
is the sanklas, which have small leaves and those like
the sun. And then we have Japonicas, which have jumbo leaves,

(01:21:09):
which like the shade. So that's how I always tell
people to keep them, you know, the difference and this
is sankuo. Like I said, yeah, you can plant it
in some more sun. We have some like we have
some that say lower, we have some that get big,
and all different colors to choose from, so you know
that really you really have the ability to pick the
perfect size chavilion, the perfect color. You know, if you

(01:21:30):
want more of a flat balloon with a yellow sitter
or more of like that peonist you'll type bloom with
all the petals, so you know, there's lots to choose from.
It's really cool. I love going back there in the
kavilia section every day when I'm at work and just
seeing which new one's blooming. I've found so many I
have to bring home. It's a problem, but it's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:21:47):
And growers are coming up with new versions of these
things all the time, aren't they.

Speaker 13 (01:21:52):
Oh man, there's thousands of them out there. You get
people that come in and want this specific variety of kavilion.
I'm like, I'm sorry, I can't find that one because
there's just thousands of them. So we've we you know,
we scoured all over and found trying to find some
of the coolest ones for people to be able to get.
So yeah, there's just they're awesome. I love them. It's
such a great thing. And one cool thing I like

(01:22:13):
to do with them and the winter is when the blooms,
when they're in full bloom, you can pick those blooms
off and fill up like a bowl with water and
set the balloons in there and they'll float in the
water inside the house it's pretty cool looking.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
Nice nice good tip there, Devin. Look at you man
interior decorator too.

Speaker 13 (01:22:30):

All right, now our second good news story, the main
news story here I want you to hear about. And

(01:24:04):
you've probably started to see something about this Ed Bombas
bam Bas, eighty eight year old army veteran Brighton, Michigan.
Now you probably have never heard of Samuel Widenhoffer. Samuel
is what is called a kindness influencer. He travels around

(01:24:27):
doing things for strangers, a lot of clicks, a lot
of revenue. Some of these guides get sponsored by people
depending on the circumstances. They get tips and say, hey,
check out this guy. Well Ed's working at a Walmart.
Why Well, he was working for GM. But when GM

(01:24:51):
went through bankruptcy, he got cut and he lost his
pension and he has to work at eighty eight years
of age. He lost his health care. His wife passed
away number of years ago. She got sick. They didn't

(01:25:11):
have insurance. I mean, and he's a good You can
just tell in the interaction with the gentleman that's doing
these videos that he's a good dude, a kind sweet man.
And he said, I retired from GM in ninety nine

(01:25:33):
and twenty twelve that went bankrupt. They took my pension.
The thing that hurt me the most was when my
wife was really sick, and when they took the pension,
my pension, they took the health coverage and all but
ten thousand dollars of my life insurance. He said, So
we did our best. She battled for seven years before dying,

(01:25:53):
and he just does what he can to make ends
meet at eighty eight years of age. And so the
influencer said, I want to just give you a little
bit of help, and so Samuel hands him four hundred
dollars and he just breaks down and cries and just

(01:26:18):
thank you so much. And he calls him outside and
they talk a little more, and he said, I want
to help you. He said, I want to I want
to set up a way for people to help you
so that you can retire with the dignity that you deserve.
They've raised one point seven million dollars, and I will

(01:26:42):
