Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hey, good morning, Welcome. Don't worry about yesterday. It's gone.
It's yesterday, it's the past.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Don't worry about tomorrow because it's not guaranteed. Just enjoy
and love and appreciate the day, which is why it's
called the present.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Love that great tune for us, Frank, Welcome to Friday, friends.
It's the final Friday of the Morning Show with Preston
Scott season of twenty twenty five. We are going to
work just three days next week. This is Jose's final day.
So you ever said, yeah? Like ever? I mean, he's

(00:56):
I don't know that he's ever coming back. I'm being deported.
They're sending me back to me. Okay, if you had
to be deported, would you choose Mexico or Cuba? Tough?
Tough question? Is it? It is because ones run by
cartels and the others run by Commedis Tommy's are cartels?
Where do you go? Commedi's are cartels? Send me hold

(01:19):
them to Jesus? Is that an option? Come on now, No,
Jose's gonna do a little little hunting. You're going on
your first hunting trip, that's right, yep. So we will
have a special guest producer. Next week, I will not reveal.
We'll just see what happens on Monday. But we'll be
back Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday next week and wrap up the year.

(01:41):
But it's Friday. It's our last edition of What's the Beef.
But let's get the scripture. In John ten, verse eleven,
it says, I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd
lays down his life for the sheep. I want you
to just think about that in the context of Jesus
speaking prophetically. First of all, isn't it just kind of tidy?

(02:08):
When Jesus arrives, who are his first visitors? Who did
who did God send the message to to go see
what he had done? Shepherds? Shepherds in the field because
they were the lowest of the low of the of
the of of the times. So God announces his son

(02:32):
to shepherds. Jesus then is speaking. He's in his ministry,
is three years of ministry, and he says, I am
the good Shepherd. And then he he's this is a
prophetic statement, the good shepherd lays down his life for

(02:58):
the flock. I bet the disciples are going.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Hum, what do you mean, Jesus? I don't wonder you
understand that. I don't understand that. Jesus, you're talking in
riddles and I don't understand it. We do, now, don't we?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Eleven minutes after the hour Friday, in the Morning Show
with Preston.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Scott, spending women who serve our communities as first responders.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Thank you. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. You know,
as I hear this, I hear roosters, and every now
and then you'll hear a rooster. In this segment yesterday,

(03:51):
I'm at a walmart here in the Capital City, on
the east side of town. That parking lot has been
taken over by roosters. Do you know that? Have you
been there? Oh? Yeah, you know. You know they're nesting
in the shrubs. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
I've tried catching a couple. Why, well, I just want
some roosters or chickens.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Oh you wanted to literally take one home? Yeah, but
no success. They Oh they'll they'll, they'll, they'll get nasty.
I bet they're beautiful. Someone in the parking lot said
to me yesterday, who apparently grew up on a farm, said,
not only are they beautiful, these roosters are healthy. They

(04:41):
are in great condition. So if you go into that
parking lot, you'll hear the roosters all day long, and
they're all over, they're they're and apparently they've made nests
in the shrubs in the medians where they where you
park in and around. It made me just it just

(05:03):
I'm like going to visit that Walmart from time to
time just to hear the roosters. It's so fun. Anyway, Sorry,
I don't know why, I why that came up. Oh
oh oh, because I was we were playing the music
to start the history segment. It's December the twelve. Pennsylvania,
seventeen eighty seven, second state to ratify the US Constitution.

(05:26):
In eighteen oh eight, the first Bible Society in the
United States had organized in Philadelphia. They would be chagrined
at what has happened in the City of Brotherly Love
since then. Eighteen thirty one, Alexis de Tocaville crosses the

(05:52):
Tennessee River en route from Louisville to Memphis during his
journey through America. Eighteen seventy, Joseph Rainey of South Carolina
sworn in as the first black member of the US
House in eighteen seventy. Nineteen twenty five, the world's first motel,
the Motel Inn, opens in San Luis Obispo, California. What

(06:14):
else do we have here? It is? This is good.
It's National Salesperson Day. So all of you out there selling,
read the room, Read the room. That's all I'm telling you.
Just okay. And by the way, I could transform the

(06:35):
car industry overnight if y'all would just call me up,
I can. I can help you. National Dingling Day. I
want to know more. It encourages us to reconnect with
people we once talked to often. Okay, all right, I

(07:04):
would have called it ring a Ling Day, going back
to the era of phones that would do that classic
ring sound. National Ambrosia Day. Do you know what ambrosia
salad is? You've likely had it. Ambrosia salad is a

(07:24):
It goes back to Greek mythology in a way. It
is the nectar of the gods, ambrosia. But what ambrosia
really is is it is a fruit salad appeared around
the eighteen hundreds, citrus fruit, coconut, and sugar. Those who
find coconut disagreeable leave it out of the recipe. But

(07:45):
if you're from the South, you gotta have coconut a
southern law house coconut. Let's see genuine ambrosia salad is
served the same day it's prepared. However, a lot of
modern recipes suggest overnight refrigeration. You can put pineapple, nuts, cherries, apples, bananas,
whipped cream or yogurt in as as well. National point

(08:11):
Setia Day, how many of you for years called it
a point SETA. I'm showing my hand, Yeah, points setia.
I still think point setta sounds better, but it is
a point Setia Gingerbread house Day. I remember trying to
make a gingerbread house once. I'm too detailed. I just

(08:37):
I can't handle not doing it well. It just offends
my eyes. It's like I immediately ate it. Almost eighteen
past the hour.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
Come back Christmas USLA on your phone with the iHeartRadio
app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa, Google Home,
Xbox and Sonos and Iheart's radio season.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
We're gonna let the Christmas music linger for a moment here, okay,
because I'm gonna drop a did you know? On those
of you in and around the capital city in particular,
here is something to be very proud of you. Ready,
The first known Christmas celebrated in the territory that would

(09:31):
become the United States was by Spanish explorers including Hernando
de Soto, in Tallahassee, Florida, in fifteen thirty nine, involving
a Catholic Mass at their winter encampment, though it was
a solemn, often violent observance rather than the festive celebrations

(09:54):
with trees or gifts. An earlier French expedition also held
church services on Ste. Croy Island in Maine in sixteen
oh four, but the Tallahassee event is recognized as the
first recorded Christian Christmas in the United States in Tallahassee, Florida.
How about that? Here's it? Did you know of? Did

(10:17):
you knows? Speaking of Christmas? On my blog page? Let's
just go over there. What do you think? Let's just
cruise over to my blog page. You will see a
very outdated photo of me. My wife looks at that
and goes, why is that photo still on there? And

(10:39):
I say to her, I have no idea. There are
newer photos. I'm old. Those photos represent that I'm old.
I have no idea why that photo's there, but it's there.
It's a younger me. Shortly after I let television, which

(11:01):
is which is almost twenty years now. That's pretty funny.
But I have I have posts that are all Christmas related,
and I'm just noticing here that I've got a duplicate

(11:21):
picture and I've got to change that. That annoys me.
But if you've ever wanted to just stroll through a neighborhood,
I mentioned to you that there was a neighborhood here
in the capital city that was once so lit up
with Christmas lights by so many people that people that
own horses and carriages would bring their gear and park

(11:46):
at or near a little Lutheran church that's nearby. They'd
set up a little hot hot chocolate stands and they
would you know, you could pay to go on a
horse carriage ride through this neighborhood and just enjoy the
Christmas lights. It was spectacular, it was awesome. There aren't

(12:07):
a lot of neighborhoods that do that, at least here
that I know of. If you know of a good
Christmas neighborhood where it's safe to walk and enjoy and encouraged,
shoot me a note Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Whether
in Panama City in the surrounding area, or Tallahassee in
the surrounding area in particular. But I found I just

(12:29):
stumbled upon an hour and a half video shot in
four K. It's not fluffy with music and production. It
just transitions from one scene to another and it's just
someone walking and you're seeing all kinds of people walking
in neighborhood in Brooklyn where everybody's in on it. And

(12:52):
I loved it. I absolutely loved it. It's one of
those that I would put on a big TV if
I were like doing some cooking or something, had some
people over and just wanted something on in the background.
It's perfect. It's absolutely perfect. So you can check that
out on the blog page. And then and tonight's the

(13:13):
night the Living Christmas Story begins thirty eighth annual Clard
Methodist Church in Tallahassee. Just look for the signs follow
the Star. It begins at six thirty tonight, runs till
eight thirty tonight, Tomorrow and Sunday. It's a three night thing.
That's it. And so get out and enjoy it. Get
out and enjoy the cool weather. We're gonna be down

(13:36):
in the twenties next Monday. Did you know that Monday
night in the twenties in the evening forties for the
high So we're getting some seasonally cool weather. Twenty seven
minutes past.

Speaker 7 (13:47):
Enjoy paying attention to what's going on in that Utah
trial of the assassin.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Accused assassin of Charlie Kirk. It's gonna be interesting. Erica
Kirk wants it televised. She wants cameras in the courtroom.
She does not want there to be any doubt over evidence,
over things presented. Judge weighing and measuring all that stuff. Man,
it's just so much around this trial. It's crime of

(14:33):
the century so far. I mean, it just is. Federal
judge ordering kilmar or Brago Garcia released from ice custody,
gangbanger from Salvador. They've tried to rehabilitate a good family man.
Just look at the record and oh, by the way,

(14:55):
it just doesn't matter. This is what I don't understand.
US District Judge Paula. Zennis ordered him released on the
grounds that the Trump administration and not obtained a final
notice of removal order that is needed to deport him.

Speaker 8 (15:11):
So what.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
He's here illegally. This is where I just and I
think a lot of you are with me on this.
It just doesn't matter. Okay, maybe we can't deport him
because we don't have that final order done. Fine, let's
cross that te and dot that I but release him.

(15:42):
I'm getting you ready for what's the beef? Aren't the
second big story? Just after we got off the area yesterday,
the news broke that the US military, the Coast Guard,
the Navy carried out an operation and took a tanker
from Venezuela. The skipper the tanker had been illegally moving

(16:03):
oil tied to sanctioned networks. I learned a little bit
more about this. Venezuela is violating US oil sanctions by
using deceptive shipping methods. It's called a dark fleet, with
vessels that use false locations to move its oil, circumventing
bands on dealing with the state oil company PDVSA, and

(16:28):
facilitating illicted oil trains that fund the Maduro regime. So
they've said no, they're not going to let them send
oil back and forth with Iran. They're not going to
let them send oil to Hesbela, and so they've just
shut it down. And apparently we are eyeball and other

(16:48):
oil tankers. So we've just taken them, and we're we're
bringing them to the states, we're going to take the oil. Well,
all right, then that don't bring down gas prices a
little bit. And then there's this with all the hand
ringing and Schumer out there trying to convince you that

(17:09):
it's the fault of the Republicans that that Obamacare is failing.
Here's a nice synopsis. Democrats wrote Obamacare. Remember, they wrote
it in a tortured way to keep it from saying taxes,
because if the bills said taxes, it would have died.

(17:30):
So they lied, and they got a Supreme Court Justice
John Roberts to agree with him. Well, that's what they meant. Yeah,
but that's not what they said. And your job, Justice
Roberts is to interpret what's said, not what's implied. But
we'll backtrack. Democrats passed it without a single vote. You
remember the famous line of Nancy Pelosi, well, we've got

(17:52):
a basset to know what's in it. Wh exclamation point,
question mark, exclamation point question mark. Democrats ballooned it with
expensive COVID subsidies. Democrats distorted health insurance markets by doing so,
and then Democrats doubled down and set an expiration date
for twenty twenty five. They did all of that. This

(18:15):
is all the Democrats doing. Now, you could make an argue,
you can make an argument that Republicans ought to be
more proactive about fixing it and long before now. Yeah,
you're right. I personally view this issue as one that
everyone's scared of because the American people don't read deep

(18:38):
enough into the stories and don't understand the ramifications of
what's happened. And that's where we circle back to the
messaging of the Republicans being absolutely horrific. So those are
your big stories in the press box here in the
morning show.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
In Show with Preston Scott, What a Time on News
Radio one hundred point seven double USLA.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Now, even though, as Jose pointed out to me yesterday,
scripture says, don't think about conspiracies, don't let them occupy
your brain, I'll go ahead and throw one out there anyway. No, Seriously,
I'm not alone when I say this, and I'm not
necessarily saying I believe this. I am saying it is

(19:50):
absolutely possible that our education system is designed to create
low information voters. Let me give you some information that
was shared with me that is absolutely jaw dropping. Nearly

(20:16):
half of young New Yorkers are still missing the mark
on standardized math in English. The State Department of Education
released its yearly report for public school students grades three
through eight. Fifty three percent were deemed proficient in English.

(20:39):
Fifty three percent nearly half are not. Just over half
made the grade in math. So roughly half of students
in New York are failing math in English, they're not proficient.

(21:01):
Just twenty nine percent of fourth grader and eighteen percent
of eighth graders are considered proficient in math. But let's
get to the real bottom line. You ready guess what
they spend per student thirty six thousand, two hundred and

(21:30):
ninety three dollars a year. Here's why I say this.
I have told you four years that money doesn't solve

(21:54):
educational problems. Does it buy nice tech. But I'll remind
you that students before there was ever a computer in
a classroom got great grades and were proficient in all subjects,

(22:17):
decades ago, before there was ever smartphone, before there was
ever the internet, before there was ever any technology. I
use this example frequently. It's the same thing as pouring
gas into a car or a lawnmower. A boat. When

(22:40):
you fill it up, you can keep pouring more in,
but it's just going to spill out, and it's going
to be useless because there's only so much money or
so much gas required to fill up the gas tank.
In education, there's just so much money you can pour

(23:03):
into it, and once you reach that point, you're not
getting any more for your money. You're getting nothing. You're
just wasting money. The taxes that go into student education
are delivering nearly half of the students not being proficient.

(23:26):
Think about that, and now let's go back to where
we started. Is this intentional? Jose shaking his head, Absolutely,
yes it is. I don't know, but I would be
open to the idea. But what this does is, first

(23:51):
of all, this guts unions. This absolutely guts unions. Do
I believe in paying teachers an appropriate salary for the
responsibility that we ask them to carry, Absolutely I do.
But I also believe you remove the safeguards for getting

(24:13):
rid of bad teachers because bad teachers are kept in
the system. You remove the safeguards for teachers involving their
personal politics. More on that later in the show. You
raise the standards the choice movement in Florida is the

(24:34):
best thing to happen to public education if superintendents and
school boards get off their rear ends and accept the
competition and address the issue. And some of that issue
isn't the responsibility of administrators and principals and teachers. It's
the responsibility of parents preparing their kids, being part of

(24:55):
their kids' educational process. Anyway, six thousand, two and ninety
three dollars per student per year is earning them nearly
fifty percent not being proficient in basic skills. Think on that.
Forty eight minutes.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Ask the hour on the Morning Show with Preston Scott,
The Preston Show with Morning Scott.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
What all right? I ask a question here? What in

(25:48):
the world has happened? And I just want you to
listen to this statement by the CEO for the United
States Chamber of Commerce, the US Chamber. This is CEO
Susan Clark. Just listen.

Speaker 9 (26:08):
All of us at the Chamber are so grateful for
your engagement over the past year. I also want to
thank the more than five hundred local chambers, associations and businesses,
along with the many federal, state and local officials who've
partnered with us to address diversity, equity and inclusion in
our companies, and advance equality of opportunity across our communities.

(26:31):
This work is a priority for the Chamber and our
members because, as we all know, it's not just a
moral imperative, it's an economic imperative. A study from the
WK Kellogg Foundation found that the US economy could be
eight trillion dollars larger by twenty fifty simply by eliminating
racial disparities where we live, work, and learn. Prior to

(26:53):
the onset of the pandemic, there were more than eight
point two million minority led businesses here in the US,
generating billions dollars in economic output. COVID nineteen, as we
all know, was devastating for the business community as a whole,
but especially for our Black, Brown, AAPI, and Native American
workers and businesses who drive so much economic activity and

(27:17):
who are disproportionately impacted.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
What the heck is she saying? You should know that
the US Chamber is not representative of each and every
individual state Chamber of Commerce. Let me say that upfront.
Though there are things I disagree with that the Florida

(27:41):
Chamber has engaged in or not engaged in. Might be
more appropriate. There is no comparison to how the Florida
Chamber conducts its business with the US Chamber. You know,
the US Chamber was created by President Howard Taft in
nineteen twelve, and he did it to give businesses across

(28:03):
America a voice in federal legislation. And what is this
but a bunch of woke nonsense? You know what this
sounds like. It reminds me of the Boy Scouts of America,
which is now what Scouting America or some nonsense like that,
because it's not about just boys anymore, and it's not

(28:23):
about the values of the Boy Scouts. And that's what's
happened to the US Chamber of Commerce. That's just a big,
fat giant wt hey, hey, hey, and ho ho ho

(28:49):
And welcome second hour of the Morning Show with President
Scott for the final show of the year. That is
Jose Can you see he'll be gone next week. I'll
be doing these final three shows with a guest producer.
Who's it gonna be. Ooh, he's gonna be a way hunting?

(29:13):
What are you hunting for? Anything that moves? Just kidding,
you're shooting squirrels?

Speaker 5 (29:21):
Just what if I if I if they come across
my sides, then yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
No you're not. What kind of gun are you bringing?

Speaker 5 (29:28):
I'm gonna take a couple?

Speaker 10 (29:30):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Are you bringing it twenty two for shooting squirrels? Yes, yeah,
I'm bringing. So you're gonna do a squirrel planking event huh.

Speaker 5 (29:36):
It's it's with a pistol, a little twenty two magnum. Okay,
so you know, just opportunity arises, I'll take advantage of it.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
But mostly we're so you're gonna eat some squirrel.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
Yes, anything I kill I am gonna eat.

Speaker 11 (29:49):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Are you camping? Uh no, no, sir, just uh, but
you're gonna you're gonna harvest squirrels and eat squirrel yes,
if if the situation arises. So what's what's the big target?
What are you getting tags for? Excuse me, dear? Mostly okay, yeah,
I believe all right. M h Do you know what

(30:11):
the limits are in terms of what how big they
have to be or you know males only?

Speaker 5 (30:16):
Yes, my good buddy that I'm uh he's actually going
to be taking me on the hunting excursion.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Uh, he knows everything. He's a very seasoned experience. That's
that's how to do it, absolutely so. But but I
mean are we looking at at you know, coming back
with a you know, getting a head mounted or coming
with the rack only or what if the Lord is willing?

(30:42):
That is the plan? Really yeah, the big dream. Okay, okay,
I'm anxious to hear what happens. But anyway, today is
the final day for what's the beef. We'll get you
ready for that later on in the hour. But came
across this in Epic Health. There is obviously a very

(31:04):
sedentary lifestyle that has developed in this country over the
last several decades. We are not the agrarian culture that
we used to be. If you're a young adult, chances
are you're sitting for at least six hours a day,
whether you're at a desk, in a car, or on

(31:25):
the couch, and all that sitting takes a toll on
your blood vessels and it raises the risk of heart disease.
For example, research has shown listen to this, a one
percent dip in how well your arteries expand and contract
bumps your risk of heart disease, stroke, and heart attack

(31:46):
by thirteen percent. And sitting does that. However, new research
from the University of Birmingham, recently published in the Journal
of Physiology, suggests that eating foods high in flavianols tea, berries, apples,

(32:10):
co CoA otherwise known as coco, help protect blood vessels
from the damage caused by prolonged periods of sitting. Now
you have to dig a little deeper into the study, though,
because what you'll learn is that, for example, you might
be sitting there and saying, well, I'm in good shape,

(32:33):
I engage in high levels of fitness, I exercise a lot,
doesn't matter. Fitness levels have no bearing on what happens
because you're sitting. So you could be a fitness guru.
But if you're still in a job or in an
occupation that requires you to be seated a lot, you

(32:55):
still have the problem. It doesn't matter. It's the first
study to find that fitness level do not influence how
flabonyls affect blood vessels, meaning that everyone will benefit from
increasing the amount of flabonols in your diet, regardless of
your your physical health. So the other thing that you

(33:18):
need to know is when we say coco, it's not
just any cocoa. Dark darker the better. So, for example,
and I know that this is just one example. If
you're gonna drink hot chocolate, drink dark hot chocolate. If

(33:41):
you're gonna, if you're you're if you're gonna consume, you know,
certain drinks, maybe coffee is not the drink to go to.
Maybe tea is. I'm just saying, so there's there, you go.
Tea and coco may help you offset the risks of
excessive sitting here to help. Ten minutes Past the Hours

(34:10):
Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 12 (34:12):
You're mocking me, aren't you.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Oh no, no, no, no, no no no.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
I used Radio one hundred point seven tell them.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
U fla Ose was just telling me in the break Oh,
he gave he does the chef's kiss a lot and
uh and he gave a chef's kiss to the French
hot chocolate.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
Why it's just very chocolate and a little thick, almost
like a loose custard. And it's just incredible, lots of
chocolate in it, dark chocolates, milk chocolates.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
And I told him I get my dark chocolate from Switzerland,
and my recipe comes from a a unmarried young lady
from Switzerland otherwise known as Swiss miss. I have a

(35:21):
bag of it right here, the Indulgent collection Swiss miss
Dark Chocolate naturally flavored hot Cocoa mix. I know it's cocoa,
but yeah, I'm down with it. Here's the thing. I
always put more than the amount of water that they say.

(35:41):
They say six ounces, and I know that creates a
thick but it's gone too fast, and so some of
you were saying, well, then double up. Then then I
drink it. Then I drink through a box too quickly.
And I don't do it like every day. It's just
like talking about it. I'm now, I now, I am
to make some hot chocolate in the break. It's gonna happen.

(36:03):
It's just gonna take me a while to make the
hot water. Because of our challenges here in the commissary.
You know, we do not have what you would expect
iHeartRadio to provide in our commissary. I'll just put it
that way, Okay. The choices are limited, and the way
to get hot water you have to put a filter
underneath the currig because the hot water that come. If

(36:25):
you just want hot water out of a currig, you're
gonna get all of the last nastiness that someone cooked
or made or whatever. You're gonna you're gonna get all
of this just so I have to take a massive
paper coffee filter and filter the water to get it.
And it's like, why bother, It's just not worth it. Anyway,

(36:48):
This made me laugh out loud. You ready, guess who's
in a conversation together on a podcast, Gavin Newsome and
Tim Walls. And guess what their topic was. Masculinity. They're

(37:09):
both pumping each other up on that they've got masculinity down.
Gavin Newsom is saying that I think this notion of
toxicity and masculinity needs to be separated. I think it's
been conflated. I think we're gonna have to work on
that a little bit. And I think, look, there's a crisis. Well,
Newsom is correct, Democrats don't have men. Real men are

(37:33):
leaving the Democrat Party. They just are listen to what
Wall says, and I'm not playing it. I'm just gonna
read it to you. Ready. I think some of us
scare them. I think I think I scare them a
little bit. That's why they spend so much time on me. No,

(37:54):
I'm serious, because I can fix a truck. They know
I'm not bessing on this I'm not putting this in
people's grill. Oh you're trying to be a man of
the people now, Tim, I'm not putting this in people's grill.
My identity is not hunting. My identity is not football coaching.
My identity is not you know, a beard in a truck.

(38:19):
He said he was. He was pretty upset when President
Trump called him seriously retarded. Maybe Timmy ought to realize
what Kamala Harris wrote in her book One hundred and
Seven Days. It revealed that Walls was picked as a
running mate because he was easy to manage, appealed to

(38:44):
white male voters or not, and posed no risk of
eclipsing her politically. What does that say about Tim Walls
that Kamala Harris's team decided that he was so inept
and so bad and so ridiculously dumb that he couldn't

(39:04):
possibly eclipse Kamala Harris. In other words, as bad as
Kamala was, Tim Walls was worse. But just think about
Gavin Newsom and Tim Walls sitting or together, sitting down
together and talking about masculinity like they know what any
of it is. That's funny, seventeen past It's good Jose,

(39:48):
just I've I've made my my hot chocolate, and it's
stirring it as we speak, and I will let it
steep for just a little bit. Oh that's stupid, but
I'm just I gotta, I gott. I can't drink it now.

Speaker 6 (40:07):
But uh.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
I walk into the studio and Jose's cut video playing
huff of his French hot chocolate, the French recipe, which
he's described as jelatness, and it's it's like he goes.

Speaker 6 (40:27):
Oh, oh.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
My gosh, look at that. Look at that. Doesn't that
look amazing? This is that look incredible? How do you
believe the word I use was delectable? Okay? And I
immediately went, uh, looks like oil? It has it? It
actually oil that has been used for like twenty thousand

(40:56):
miles in someone's car. That's the consistency of this stuff,
some delicious oil sludge sludge, chocolate sludge. There is no
way I would be drinking that. I would let that
set and then maybe take a spoon to it and

(41:16):
use it as a pudding. That's closer to pudding than
it is a hot chocolate. Don't you think it's it's
a little runnier than a pudding, right, but it's closer
to a pudding than it is a traditional hotcho.

Speaker 5 (41:32):
Yeah, like a loose chocolate soup flee, a little looser
than Oh.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Thank you, listen to this, and and and let me
just let me start with the question that I'm going
to end with as well. Do you think that what
I'm about to describe is isolated?

Speaker 12 (41:52):
Just hold on to that.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
Now this is in Washington. I would maintain that Washington state,
while it's more more likely to be prevalent, it's not
likely to be isolated. A non binary teacher. First of all,
show of hands, who has trouble with the idea of
there being a teacher that we happen to know is

(42:15):
non binary? What I mean, I can absolutely see a
kid in this day and age looking at a teacher
and going are you a Are you a guy or
a girl? Because the teacher is mes mix? Is that

(42:35):
how you say that? MX? Mix mix? TJ. Thornton?

Speaker 13 (42:42):
So what is it?

Speaker 1 (42:43):
First of all? Problem number one? What the heck is
a student supposed to call the teacher? Hey Thornton, No mister,
no miss no missus, no mix. See I'm not down

(43:03):
with that, right, There is a no go right, But
get this. The teacher asked us for a student in
his her class to be taken out because the student
was the child of a school board member that happens
to be conservative. So the teacher was unwilling to teach

(43:28):
the student because the school board member, Casey Taylor, voted
for female rights and sports, among other things, saying that
girls athletics should be based on biological sex. So they
didn't want the ten year old son to be placed
in her his classroom because he didn't support transgender athletics.

(44:00):
They also said they they them, It's one of those
they them things. So this person requested a meeting to
discuss developing a policy or practice to mitigate the placement
of students in their class who come from families that
do not support lgbtq IA plus identities. Their request was
centered on their safety in an effort to prevent future harassment.

(44:20):
There is no allegation that there was any harassment ever
done or offered. So let's go back to where I started.
Do you think this is isolated? This is why public
education is losing because parents don't want their kids exposed

(44:40):
to this crap. And I tell you now that forget
forget the I don't want that student in my classroom,
and the arrogance of that, the insanity of that, I
don't like their parents' political beliefs, so I don't want
them in my classroom. So what every concern servative kids,

(45:01):
every parent who's conservative or Republican. Those kids can't be
taught by this teacher or a group of teachers. Is
that where we are now? The problem starts with the MX,
but I'm gonna end with the question do you think
this is isolated? Is this just a one off? Or

(45:22):
are we likely dealing with this all over the country?
This Morning Show with Preston scuy Big stories in the
press box are next, and we got some shopping tips

(45:46):
coming your way in just a few minutes. We're halfway
through the show. What on, bro? What's going on? How
can we be through the show so fast? What's the beef?
Coming up in just a little bit, and by the way, final,
what's the beef of the year? Sorry, you can complain

(46:07):
about that when we come back on the ninth of
January that Friday. We'll be back on the fifth. The
ninth is a Friday, so you can call during the
first what's the Beef of twenty twenty six and complain
about the fact that you haven't had a chance to
complain in about a month, not quite a month, but

(46:30):
you get the idea. It's the final what's the beef
segment of the year coming up next hour, Big stories
of the press box. We have captured a Venezuelan oil tanker,
and we've got our eyes on several more. Apparently Maduro
has been funding himself literally and his regime by selling

(46:55):
oil on the black market and can't do that. It's illegal,
and the US is saying, no, not gonna have it.
And so we we've got some intelligence on a shipment
and we dropped some Navy and Coast Guard personnel on board.
I mean dropped, as in helicopter swooping in and on

(47:17):
board they went. It's going to be interesting to see
because if you're Maduro right now, are you going to
now reconsider the idea of leaving the country or are
you going to consider putting armed personnel on these ships?
Then what happens if it becomes a firefight, Well, first

(47:38):
of all, we'll win, That's the first thing that happens.
We will win. Our guys are better than their guys.
They are, they're better equipped. We've we we can we
can neutralize that. But we've we've taken the tanker. We're
gonna bring it to us port and go through the
process of what is required legally before we do anything else.

(48:04):
But we've got our eyes on other tankers, so that
it's just a story that I thought warranted being in
the In the press box this morning, Dems wrote Obamacare.
Dems post passed it without a single GOP vote. Dems
ballooned it with the COVID subsidies, adding even more subsidies
to what was already subsidized at eighty percent. Dems are

(48:25):
responsible for the distortion in the healthcare markets, and Dems
set the expiration date of those COVID subsidies to twenty
twenty five, meaning they originally set it so that by
twenty twenty five that should be enough over They did that.
They did that the fact that the healthcare system is

(48:45):
a train wreck, that's everybody's problem, and we'll devote some
time early in twenty twenty six to exploring that because
we're not fixing it between now and the end of
the year. And then there's this how is it possible
that another federal judge on the district level, Judge Paula Zennis,

(49:09):
has released Kilmar Abrego Garcia from detention. He's free, how
she says, it's because the Trump administration did not obtain
a final notice of removal. Who cares, so we can't
send him out of the country. Yet you don't turn

(49:33):
him loose. He's in the freaking country illegally. What the heck?
What this is judicial misconduct to me? She is not
following the law because the law would mandate that he

(49:55):
would be remanded to custody until he's here illegally. If
you're here illegally, sorry, you're under arrest. Sorry, not sorry.
Let's borrow from the Reese's Peanut butter Cup. Sorry not sorry.
So all right, let's uh, let's get you ready for

(50:16):
some shopping. We're we're in the home stretch here, right,
we are less than two weeks away, so we got
to be serious shopping tips. Next on the Morning Show
with Preston Scott.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
Oose, Weather, traffic and the big stories in the press Box.
The fastest three hours in media. And don't be surprised
if you have a chuckle here and there, Just like that,
it's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
I think I've helped a lot of you with your
Christmas shopping this year. Now, even if I haven't helped
you pull a trigger and make a purchase, I've helped
you knowing that there are these sites available for you.
I know I've helped Jose. I know that because I've
gone into his studio and seen him window shopping. At

(51:25):
the very least. There have been some cool sites, haven't there. Yeah,
what's been your favorite so far? Well, boy, I would
have to say the camp in Nemo Equipment dot Com.
Nemo Equipment dot com, we did that two days ago.

Speaker 5 (51:42):
Pretty neat there.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
You also like Kingdom and Country dot c That Yeah,
that one was good to And of course Kevin's catalog.
There's best. I've gone through a ton of sits, all right,
And if there's something you heard about or want to know,
just I can fire the list off to you. Just
send me a note Preston Atiheartradio dot com. Today. This

(52:06):
is the only one that I would say is not
safe for kids. Here's why there are there's there's one.
They've got a bunch of different categories, but there's one
category there that is designed for intimacy between a husband

(52:27):
and a wife. Okay, so while it doesn't show anything,
it's it's not something that you would want to, you know,
have the kids stumble upon. So I'm just I'm saying
that in full disclosure because the rest of the site
is just full of really cool ideas. Now, in this case,

(52:52):
I use this site for getting ideas more than anything else.
I have purchased from the site, but not a lot.
What I get from this site is, oh, that's a
cool idea, and then I'll look around and see if
there are other versions of it, because sometimes it's just

(53:12):
sold out. And it's called touchomodern dot com. Now to
access the site, you do have to sign up and
set up an account. You don't have to you know,
give them any credit cards or anything like that, but
you do have to sign up. And so you know
what I do with sites like this is I'll sign up,

(53:33):
I'll get my password, and and then when I start
if I get if I get email bombed, I just
unsubscribe and it's done. So I don't have any issues
with this site.

Speaker 8 (53:43):
But this site just has a lot of really cool stuff,
cool watches and old school turntables like the old vatrollas
only modernized where they do all kinds of things. They've
got collectible stuff like antiques, they've got they got knives,

(54:06):
they got cuff links and pendants and and uh, you
know devices that are electronic.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
They've got, you know, different kinds of pants and things.
It is definitely a dude's site. If you like to
have a poker game, they got you set up, like
having the guys over to play a little bit of poker.
It's touch of modern dot com, Touch of modern dot Com.
And again, this is not a and you get you

(54:33):
can scroll through this whole thing and and have no
issues at all. But there's gonna be one category here
that's really designed again for a husband and wife type things,
So just be aware of that, all right, And uh
yeah again, I think you'll I think you'll enjoy the site.
I think there's a lot of really cool categories and
gadgets and things in there. And just the name itself

(54:53):
sort of tells you touch of modern dot Com. Forty
six minutes past the hour back with more double u
f L a f M dot com keyword preston getting

(55:18):
email on hot chocolate recipes, Dean says, Hey, this is
a combo I use for healthy hot chocolate.

Speaker 5 (55:27):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
It is high flavinyl super cacayo. I'll simply tell you this.
I do not confuse cacayo or coko with cocoa. You
know what I'm saying. That is some nasty stuff. Cacayo.
Who you are? Deep, my friend? And then he combines

(55:50):
that with monk fruit sweetener, okay, with alulos. All right,
I'm gonna trust you on that meme, but I'm gonna
leave it with you. That recipe is safe in your hands.
But thank you for sharing it, getting a lot of
people emailing asking for the shopping list, and again I

(56:12):
just I'm happy to share it with you. It is
not proprietary in any way, shape or form. I am
an aggregator. Just be careful if you say that to
me to my face, you aggregator? Would you call me
or you speaking in tongues? Anyway? I'm not a big fan.

(56:36):
When Donald Trump just turns on people and gets so
personally attacking, He's called Marjorie Taylor Green Marjorie Trader Green.
There are issues that she has with Trump that I
don't disagree with her. There's some I'm very very I
think very fair and objective when it comes to Trump.

(56:58):
As I said from the very beginning, I am not
an always trumper. I am not a never trumper. I
believe he has done good and some great things for
our country, but I think he's wrong on some issues.
And we'll talk more about that next week. But what
the heck is she doing posing with the founder co

(57:21):
founder of the terrorist communist allied group Code Pink. She's
out there saying, well, you know, you've got to be
friends across the.

Speaker 14 (57:34):
We're not.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
You're posing for pictures with a group that is allied
with terrorist organizations. And this is a photo from her

(57:56):
congressional office this week. Like they are just the best
of friends. They've been friends for a few years. She's
been buddies with Susan Medea Benjamin. If you don't know
about Code Pink, you you look it up. They have

(58:27):
they have supported Saddam Hussein, Chavez, Maduro and Venezuela. They've
openly supported communists. China Benjamin lived in Cuba for years.
She was deported for criticizing the regime of Cuba. Whatever,

(58:50):
sure she was, that's a cover story. Now she met
with Fidel Castro she's she's all in on that stuff.
She is a close with bo. During the two thousands,
she staged a weekly protest outside of Walter Reed Army
Medical Hospital in Washington, d C. Where the group called

(59:12):
wounded soldiers war criminals. That's code pink. They're sick and twisted.
These are a bunch of Feminazis that are dangerous. Don't
wish harm to come upon them. But I'm letting you know, Peaches,

(59:36):
you can do better than Marjorie Taylor Green. You can.
That's not crossing the aisle. You cross the isle with
elected representatives, not quasi terrorist groups. You don't cross the
isle with them. All right, it's what's to be Friday.
The lines are open eight five zero two zero five

Speaker 16 (01:02:24):
Judges not the judiciary judges sick and twisted. Yeah, they
need to be held accountable, not immune from their decisions.
If they make a decision and the like this guy,
they're turning.

Speaker 17 (01:02:40):
Loose now the gang member.

Speaker 12 (01:02:42):
Yeah, miss thirteen.

Speaker 16 (01:02:43):
If you go out and commits a crime, the judges
on the hook for that crime. And they need to
restrict the district judges area of decisions.

Speaker 14 (01:02:55):
They're not international, they're.

Speaker 16 (01:02:56):
Not executive just they're local districts.

Speaker 10 (01:03:03):
And they have no executive oversight.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
Yeah, there's a bunch of district judges judges that should
be impeached by their their district of appellate court, no doubt, absolutely, Bob,
have a great Christmas brother, Thanks for calling in. You

Eight five zero two zero five to b FLA, David,
you're up, what's the beef?

Speaker 14 (01:03:33):
Hey?

Speaker 18 (01:03:34):
Pressing my beef is? I am absolutely sick of Medicare, Medicaid,
a volater, work welfare, social security. The government, by the constitution,
does two things. They run our navy and deliver my mail.

Speaker 11 (01:03:51):
That's it.

Speaker 18 (01:03:51):
Everything else needs to go away, and I mean everything else.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Do you feel better.

Speaker 11 (01:03:59):
Now?

Speaker 12 (01:03:59):
Really just changed.

Speaker 18 (01:04:02):
The original constitution that they're supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
I'm I'm for that. Thank you, David, appreciate that I

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
Hey?

Speaker 17 (01:04:13):
Good morning. I'm tired of When I turn on the radio,
I get a more in a Morgan commercial. When I
turn on the TV, I get a Morgan and Morgan commercial.
When I drive down the street, I see a Morgan
and Morgan bullge and board. I mean, my goodness, I
would think that they could do half of the advertising

(01:04:33):
you get just as much a business and it sure
wouldn't wear me out.

Speaker 1 (01:04:42):
I hear you, I hear you. I hope that at
least it enables you to just like you just did.
You had a nice deep breath and uh hopefully you'll
enjoy your holiday feeling a little bit better.

Forget to subscribe to the Conversations with Preston Scott podcast
on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome to the Morning Show with
Preston Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
Just a few minutes away from the best and worst
of the week, good news, dad, joke, headlines from the Bee.
But we are taking your calls. The lines are taken
right now, so just be patient and get it off
your chest. It's our final segment of audiotherapy known as
What's the Beef Friday for the year.

Speaker 12 (01:05:47):
This is it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
We'll be back on January fifth with live shows. January ninth,
the next edition of What's the Beef? Sam, thank you
for calling in, my friend. You are up. Merry Christmas.
Let's get that beef, taking care of what's the beef?

Speaker 12 (01:06:00):
Good morning, Preston, Merry Christmas to all your people. Anyway,
I've got a issue with your pronunciation and cocal that's
how you pronounce it. It's not cocao, and it is

(01:06:22):
very healthy for you. Yeah, no doubt to put the
food of the gods and gods. Yes, it's the original chocolate, okay,
the one that hasn't been one that hasn't been ruined and.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
For the god you know, yeah, it has.

Speaker 12 (01:06:43):
Proven cardiovascular buefessa. My other beef is with these people
at the store where you go to take your silver
and gold and get it traded in for cash. They
are so helpful and so wonderful to work with. It

(01:07:06):
makes me sick. But anyway, don't go to these signs
where they say we we buy gold, these out of
town ears, these these Bay Bay loafers.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
You know why those people, you know, you know why
those people are so bad that you're you're describing, you
know why, because because they probably do nothing but but CaCu.

Speaker 12 (01:07:27):
Yeah, well, well they are so helpful that I mean,
they are people you can develop a relationship with. They've
been here forever, they're in the shopping center right there
off of Magnolia.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
Okay, and uh.

Speaker 12 (01:07:40):
I would go to them all right, that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
Thank you.

Speaker 12 (01:07:45):
Make my beat by my uh, your praise and people
experiences into a beef.

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
There you go. That's what I'm talking. That's why you, sir,
are a ruminator. That's why you're part of this this family. Sam,
thank you even if if you want to pick on
me for pronouncing a really gross substance. And I know
it's healthy, but it's gross.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
Let's evidence by the fact that you have to add
things to it to make it palatable. And I'm going
to forgive you for you know, the fruit of the
gods about that. John, you're up. What's the beef?

Speaker 18 (01:08:21):
Yeah, good morning, Preston.

Speaker 14 (01:08:22):
First, Merry Christmas to you and and the whole audience out.

Speaker 18 (01:08:26):
There, and.

Speaker 14 (01:08:28):
One for a year. Real quickly, my beef is with
the United States Postal Service, and I'd like to give
you a quick example of how inefficient they are.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
Yeah, I live.

Speaker 14 (01:08:40):
I live in southwest Georgia. I'm sixty miles from Tallahassee.
I'm about ninety five miles from Oath in Alabama. Ordered
a package ordered from an animal health supplier out of
Doath in Alabama. The package, now this was several weeks ago.
I give them Christmas grace, but this was several weeks ago. Anyway,
the package went from Oath in Alabama to Bessemer, which

(01:09:02):
is outside of Birmingham, went from Bessemer to Macon, Georgia,
from Making, Georgia to Jacksonville, and now the last tracking
is on the way to Tallahassee. That is not an
efficient way to run any kind of business.

Speaker 17 (01:09:17):
But anyhow, what's wrong with that?

Speaker 14 (01:09:21):
Yeah? Well, if I was hauling it and getting paid
by the mile to do it, I would be plumbticule. Yeah,
but that's why your stamps are almost eighty cent, and
they're no faster than they used to be. Anyway, my
gripping's done.

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
Thank you, so y'all. Next year, Thank you, John, Merry Christmas,
Happy New Year. Michael Mark Jr. You are next. We
can fit one more caller in as well. We can
take at least four, maybe five. It's What's to be Friday,
the final edition for twenty twenty five. Here on The
Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is the final segment

(01:10:06):
of Beefs for twenty twenty five, no pressure, How would
you better be good? It's what's the Beef Friday? For
the final time this year on the Morning Show with

Yeah, we try.

Speaker 11 (01:14:07):
We try to speed up everything with the app, Like, hey,
you can order your your your meal on the app
and when you get here it's ready.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:14:13):
Well, first off, you don't have my item on your app.
It's not available to order on the app. That's that's brilliant.
And so I order something different, you know, gonna not
what you really wanted a little bit, but I'm gonna
do it anyway, right, Uh, order something different. Get there
and and it's a good forty five minutes before the

(01:14:33):
place closes, and I come in and they're like, oh,

we'll have that ready for you in a bit, meaning
it's not ready at the time they said it's going
to be ready.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
But at least it would be hotter, wouldn't it.

Speaker 11 (01:14:48):
I would, I guess maybe?

Speaker 12 (01:14:50):
And then uh.

Speaker 11 (01:14:52):
And then so I'm waiting for my meal to be made,
and not only do I not get to sit down
because they're sweeping the floors and they have all the
tables flipped in the chairs slipped. I'm just like, so
I get to just stand here and watch you make
my sandwich. I could have just done this the original
way and just you know, gone away to school, and
then I'm the one that's prepared here. What is the

(01:15:14):
deal with people standing in the line and finally getting
to the register and still not knowing what you want?

Speaker 14 (01:15:21):
This isn't your first time here.

The week, sir, you are up alrighty, So my best
of the week is the trip I'm going on today. Okay, Yeah,

a what's your main hunting rifle? I have a savage.
It's a micro hunting rifles. I kind of a little small,

(01:17:54):
Oh yeah, yes, sir, going old school steal sights maybe

Speaker 12 (01:18:30):
Same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
A trip, the good side of the trip and the
bad side of the trip, the drive. It would be
worth it, though, I can't wait to hear about it. Anxious.
That's that's gonna be fun, all right, My my worst
of the week, I've got two one and it's in. Obviously,
we don't do these every week now. We have a
special segment that we do twice a month, so it's
over the last couple of weeks. I went to the
NCAA soccer tournament and let me just put a memo

(01:18:54):
out to u f S, U Sports Athletics, a D
Sports Information. Maybe give your camera people and those that
are given photo journalism passes to take pictures at the
sidelines of the games that if they're not actively taking

(01:19:14):
a photo, sit down. The camera operators for the live broadcast.
I get it, but you know what, they're moving all
the time. But the camera people that are sitting there
checking their phone and blocking the view of people sitting
in the stands, how about you treat it like you
do every other sport. You have to sit down. There's

(01:19:34):
some sports you can't stand up. You have to sit
down the entire time. How about we do that second
worst of the week to the child's high school kids. Parents,
some of you have a kid in a truck that
has a PA system and they are saying inappropriate things

(01:19:55):
out of their PA system to other drivers. I know
this because it happened. Okay, So my advice to you
parents pull the plug. There's just no need for it.
And to the kids stop because it's gonna get you

(01:20:16):
shot and it's illegal. Yeah, I mean, it's just it's
it's stupid. Okay.

Speaker 18 (01:20:22):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
My best of the week Orphan Shade. We hit it
on Monday. We hit the mark fifty five thousand dollars
plus raised for Orphan Shade. That is my best of
the week. But I have another. We were just talking
about one of our callers, Jr. Called in about by

(01:20:44):
the way, that was my son, and I didn't even
know it. He fooled me, completely fooled me. He called
about customer service fast food restaurants. I went through an
Arby's this week. Unbelievable customer service from a young lady

(01:21:04):
named India. She is a student at Florida State University
in the Deadman School of Hospitality. It makes sense. I
just looked at her and I said, you, young lady,
I didn't have one of my cards with me. One
of my cards. You're incredible, So I'm going back there.
I'm gonna find her. I'm I'll give her one of
those cards. But I said, you are marked for success.
You are gonna be awesome at whatever you do. It

(01:21:25):
made her day, but I'm gonna try to make her
day again. But yeah, her name is India at the
Rby's on North Monroe. If you get her, incredible, Just
that is the way customer service is supposed to be done.
Absolutely positively. Oo, come and joy. Getting a lot of

(01:22:13):
requests for the shopping list. If you want the list
of sites that I've been giving out for the last
two weeks, and we'll continue next week so you'll get
in an advanced look at what I'm going to next week.
Just send me an email press excuse me, I'm so
sorry Preston at iHeartRadio dot com, and I will send
you the list. I've been playing hurt since Thanksgiving, but

(01:22:36):
I'm here every day for you, in part because i
know I'm taking two and a half weeks off soon.
So yeah, I'm just powering through it. This good news
story I saw on TV and then I looked it
up so I could get the information to share with you.
Nineteen eighty four was very significant for a guy named

(01:22:58):
Tom Sillo for a couple of reasons. One it was
the year he watched his favorite team, the Los Angeles Raiders,
win their third Super Bowl, Jim Plunkett, Marcus Allen his
favorite player of all time, Howie Long. It was also

(01:23:24):
the year that things changed pretty dramatically. He tried out
for his high school football team as an underclassman, but
he wasn't committed to play in the game as he
was to watching it, so he quit the team after
a couple of days, and he went down a different path,
and that path was drugs and alcohol starting in high school.

(01:23:44):
He said, just the reality of the way I went
at the time. I'd wanted to play college football and basketball,
but clearly never followed through on it. He had been
given an ultimatum years later by his wife, you either
choose family or you choose your alcohol. What are you
going to do? He chose to get sober, get off drugs.

(01:24:10):
He went to work for the city of Williamsport, Pennsylvania
for thirty three years, then retired, and then began his
job as the head equipment manager at his former high school,
but he always had a desire to go back and
get his degree, and the lifelong dream of being at

(01:24:33):
being a college athlete was still stuck in his mind.
At the age of fifty eight, he said, it's been
forty one years since I've been in the classroom. There's
an academic risk at my age, it's a huge financial risk.
He had a physical trainer that he worked with in

(01:24:54):
the weight room because he was doing some powerlifting to
stay in shape. My coach said to me, look, you
can get hurt in the shower, you can get hurt
on a set of steps. If you really want to
do this, just do it. Go play. The only thing
that has value in this life is time. How are

(01:25:15):
you going to use it? After that phone call, I'm like, okay,
full steam ahead, I'm going for this. At the age
of fifty eight, he enrolled at Lycoming College, a Division
III program in Williamsport, where he is now a walk
on on the football team, playing on the defensive line.

(01:25:41):
Fifty eight years old. It has inspired people to do
the same, to just go for it, to just make
the change, to do the right thing, to whatever it
might be. But the real coup de grave of this
story is right here. He has taken full advantage of nil.

(01:26:08):
He has a deal that he's getting paid even though
he's not a starter. I don't know if he's even
seen the field in a real game. But guess who
is financial partner is Asper Cream, the Joint Pain Relief

(01:26:29):
ointment has sponsored him. And it's brilliant. Is that just brilliant?
That is so good? And it's just a lesson in
first of all, there is a good side to nil,
but the bigger thing is pursue your dreams. That's good news.
And it's the Morning Show with Preston Scott Back Monday,
