Episode Transcript

(00:06):
Well, there you go. Goodmorning, friends, and welcome to the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Thatthere is great Alan, I believe lenderguard
and it's great to be with youhere this morning. I'm April the eighth
Show, number fifty one, thirtytwo. There, man. My brother

(00:29):
gave a little shout out on Fridaynight and promptly told everybody that you can
listen to the show on iTunes.I was like, oh, my goodness,
gracious, my gracious. Anyway Igot that. I was listening to

(00:50):
the sheriff and my brother Takles Pitting. Yeah. Boy, you can catch
some of that Minnesota twang there.Yeah, but Patrick's not as bad.
And I suppose that just goes backto being being raised with a a sports

(01:10):
gut. My mom certainly never gotthe dialect, which just shocks me.
But she didn't. But at anyrate, good morning, welcome, Hope
you had a nice weekend. Itwas. It was a lovely weekend weatherwise.
My goodness, gracious. And tothose of you that we're ad springtime
Tallahassee, No, that was nota hologram. That that was me.

(01:34):
I was there. I'm not abig parade guy, but but I brought
my grandson with me, and hewas wearing his Green Bay Packer gear,
noting that he is a shareholder ofthe Green Bay Packers. And he gave
the wave to everybody. So ifwe saw you there, thank you for

(01:59):
coming on out and saying hello.Romans five ten. For if while we
were enemies, we were reconciled toGod by the death of his son,
much more now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life?
Come on, Romans five ten.That's how we start wander into the

(02:24):
American Patriots Almanac. Next busy show, lots to discuss. Stick around with
us. Let's be buddies all morninglong. It's the Morning Show with Preston
Scott. Preston Scott fun US Radioone hundred point seven double UFLA. Biden

(03:00):
rowing up his sleeves to buy votes, to engage in active vote bribery,
one hundred and forty six billion dollarsin student loan forgiveness. This is all
about buying votes. I'm just I'mso over it, he disgusts me.

(03:23):
I don't care if you're a Republicanor a Democrat. You're ruining our country.
You're disgusting me, and hopefully moreand more people get that way.
It's just sickening and it's just it'sbribery. That's all any of this is.
It's no different than the liberal handouts. To take your pick. But

(03:46):
anyway, just a quick little headsup and a reminder. The Flag Football
game is Saturday for Big Brothers BigSisters here in Tallahassee. Really, folks
using on Big Brothers. It isat Fred George Park ten am to noon
and there are over one hundred littleguys on the waiting list. Think about

(04:13):
this. These are little guys thatwant to have a big brother in their
life. I would say somebody tospeak life into them. If you have
four hours a month, at leastjust four hours. If you can give

(04:41):
more, that's awesome, but atleast four hours look into it. Big
Brothers, Big Sisters of the BigBand. But it's it's the Big Brothers
Football game on on Saturday. It'sflag football. It's just real casual.
You can find out more. You'renot taking a commitment right then and there,

(05:01):
but just getting more intel and it'llmake Boy, we just have so
many kids that don't have dads.You know, father's all over the place.
But dads, dads, that's anotherstory. We need dads. April

(05:21):
the eighth, otherwise known as theday that everybody's losing their mind about this
solar eclipse, dear goodness, nineteenthirteen seventeenth Amendment, which requires senators to
be elected by a popular vote ratified. What do you think about that versus

(05:45):
the state government appointed senators to representthem. I have mixed feelings. Of
course, me being history buff,I have an affinity for the original model.
Why because you all any of uscan do is project what it might

(06:11):
have been like and how it mightbe better because we weren't alive. These
purely popular vote decisions aren't always great, exhibited by Florida and it's woes with
constitutional amendment after constitutional amendment after constitutionalamendment getting voted in, to which I

(06:34):
would say, that's probably not agreat idea. But if you even dare
bring up the prospect of like,no, actually we're going to go back
to truly representative, it's like you'retaking the rights of the people away.
It's like, no, actually we'vedeparted quite a bit. But so how

(06:55):
is electing our senators? Yeah?Right, it's better than them being appointed
by the legislature, which may ormay not be I don't. I don't
think it is. I think itcould. It very much would vary from
state to state. I think Ilike the I do like the original model.
I think there was a lot ofwisdom in the how the Founders set

(07:17):
up the senators being appointed by thestates. So it's just it's a thought
experiment and is more an indictment onthe popular vote as a whole rather than
just so your argument is that thepeople are represented by who they put into
state government ergo, then state governmentcan be trusted to place the senators into

(07:42):
into office in like according to theoriginal model. Yeah, that kind of
tracks, okay sure. Nineteen fiftytwo, President Truman orders the seizure of
the Nation Steel Mills to avert astrike, an act later ruled illegal by
the Supreme Court. Oh you think. Hank Aaron hits his seven hundred and

(08:03):
fifteenth home run, breaking Babe Brucerecord in nineteen seventy four, then Hank
Aaron promptly lost his mind. Hewent politically just foolish. And then Frank
Robinson in nineteen seventy five of theCleveland Indians, makes his debut as the
first black manager of a major leaguebaseball team, and it's like, okay,

(08:24):
cool, happy for him, greatguy, great manager. But I
just anyway, seventeen minutes after thehour, come back with Yeah, we'll
just come on back twenty two minutesafter the hour the Morning Show. Hi,

(08:52):
he's Grant Allen. I'm Preston,Hope you had a nice weekend.
As you know, I follow auctions, fascinated by things that get appraised go
up for sale. I am.I won't say I'm addicted to because I'm

(09:13):
I'm just I'm not. But whengiven the chance, I will watch the
Antique road Show. I think thatis an awesome program and I love it
in the UK. I watched theBBC version as often as I see it

(09:35):
up and I think it's just aterrifically fascinating show. You get the inevitable
appraiser who has just the horrific Britishteeth, I mean, concave in shape,
yellow sticking out. What did youbring this here? Full? Okay,

(10:03):
wait, what can you tell meabout it? Oh? Yes,
ah, whoa, Well, you'vebeen duped. You actually have something far
more valuable. It's uh, thebackstories on these fines that people. Well,
this was given to me by mygreat gland Ma. I mean it

(10:28):
was just there's some epically cool stories, so I follow this. I just
anything that's auction related, historical inany way, shape or form is just
fascinating to me. Heritage Auctions hada copy of Action Comics number one up

(10:48):
for auction Action Comics number one.It was published by National Allied Publications.
There's a hint. You're like,uh sorry, not ringing a bell yet.
How about if I say it wasthe predecessor to DC Comics. Now
we're getting somewhere nineteen thirty eight onthe cover, the iconic first ever appearance

(11:18):
of the Man of Steel Superman.It was given a grade of Very Fine
plus eight point five. Third highestgraded copy of Action Comics number one known
to still exist. The Grading ServiceCGC said only about one hundred copies of

(11:39):
the comic are believed to still exist. It's graded seventy eight copies over the
years. This one broke a recordHeritage Auctions Thursday Night six million dollars.

(12:05):
The previous record was a copy ofSuperman number one that sold privately for five
point three million in twenty twenty two. The previous most expensive comic book sold
at auction was a near mint ninepoint six. It's a plus nine point
six copy of Amazing Fantasy number fifteen, which was the first appearance of Spider

(12:28):
Man. It sold for three pointsix million, So we've gone from three
point six to five point five nowsix million dollars for the first appearance of
Superman in a comic book dating backto nineteen thirty eight. So I bring
this stuff up because you just I'velearned this in all the years of doing

(12:52):
this show. You never know who'slistening, and someone out there you might
have an Action Comics number one stuckin a box somewhere in your attic,
or in your garage, or inyour safe or whatever you just completely forgot.
You added, well, you mightbe sitting on a ton of money,

(13:16):
just saying that would be easy forme to part with myself. Six
mil comic book Sea see a Supermantwenty seven minutes after the hour, come
back with the Big Stories in thepress Box. The Morning Show with Preston

(13:37):
Scott on News Radio one hundred pointseven WSLA, third hour of the radio
program Ten Ways to Being Happier oreleven little bonus way on top of It

(14:05):
got plenty of other stories that we'regonna get through today. We've got Joe
Camp's Next Hour, Doctor Joe.We've got animal stories. We've got a
not quite an animal story. Icouldn't put it in the animal stories because
it's just Yeah. And then BenWhite Tallassi Annual Motorcycle Music Festival will be
joining us in just a little bit. Talk about that which is coming up.

(14:28):
But the big stories in the pressbox brought to you by Grove of
Creative Marketing and Digital Expertise. Wehave a solar eclipse today. Are you
watching everybody lose their mind? It'slike the It's like the full moon to
end all full moons. It's justwild. Okay, I get it.

(14:52):
It's it's a phenomenon that you don'tsee very often, and you actually should
be very careful how you see it. Didn't we have one like in twenty
seventeen, or like a partial one. Yeah, this is a total solar
eclipse when the moon entirely hides thesun. There are these places that are

(15:13):
you know what are they calling it? Path of totality. It is going
to go through fifteen states this afternoon, roughly one hundred and fifteen miles wide.
There are people, by the tensof millions along this path. Did

(15:37):
you see the Airbnb heat map?No way, not the Airbnb heat map
of where things are most sold outacross the country, Just a perfect diagonal
line across the country. And oh, by golly, if you've got clouds,
you're screwed. And that's the thing. You have no idea that they've

(16:03):
got there, aren't. I watchpress conferences, Indiana, Ohio, all
these states. They're talking like it'sarmageddon, and it's fueling the panic that
some people are. I'm not donehere. NASA is going to launch three
rockets today, are they really?Yes, they're launching three rockets at three

(16:29):
different times, forty five minutes before, right in the middle of and forty
five minutes after, and they aremeasuring things in the atmosphere, atmospheric perturbations
whatever. These rockets will launch fromNASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia to study

(16:49):
the disturbances in the ion, asphere created when the Moon eclipsed the Sun.
Huh, so it's a big atmosphericday. I'm not done cern.
You know about CERN. Everybody's allbeen out of shape about CERN. It

(17:10):
is the European Organization for Nuclear Researchor CERNY. They're going to do a
they're gonna smash some protons together today. Well hope it's not too messy.
But here's what's going on. Youcombine all of this than the earthquake in
New York, and everybody's freaking out. Folks. I can't promise anything.

(17:41):
Only God knows. I'm just gonnatell you. I think everyone's gonna be
fine. Don't be staring at thiseclipse without glasses. You might see part,
You'll get a partial something something maybehere wherever you're listening to us from.
I'm just saying, please, pleasetamp down the absurdity. And you

(18:03):
know what, here's the thing.I don't trust the government either. Okay,
there, I'm with you. Thisis the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
The next total solar eclipse is goingto be in twenty forty four.

(18:25):
I'm gonna be here. I'm gonnabe doing the show. Is it every
twenty years? Yeah? I haveno idea. I don't care enough to
find out. I'm just being honest. I just don't. It's like,
Okay, there's an eclipse, woo, all right? Cool? Anyway,

(18:52):
other big stories. I love thisand again, big stories in the press
box fall into three buckets. Thingsyou're talking about, things you will be
talking about, my favorite things youshould be talking about. These are things
that you need to just have knowledgeof. My man, Tony Bobolinsky is

(19:19):
going on the legal offensive. Heis done. He is done being slandered,
defamed, maligned, accused, Andall he's done is told the truth
and supported it with an unending troveof documents, emails, texts, phone

(19:47):
calls, et cetra. He issuing US Congressman Dan Goldman for defamation I
love it while lawsuit in federal courtin Washington, accusing Goldman of repeatedly lying.

(20:07):
According to Bobolinski's complaint, Goldman defamedthe former Biden business associate in a
series of posts on social media byalleging Babolinski quote has used a Trump campaign
paid lawyer to make false allegations thathis testimony before Congress was Russian disinformation.
See these people say this kind ofcrap, never fearing that anyone's going to

(20:33):
ever pony up the money to takehim on. City of Tallahassee knows something
about that. We had corrupt goingson in city government, and no one
had the resources except one guy,doctor Irwin Jackson. He'd had enough.

(20:56):
You know a lot of people don'trealize doctor Irwin Jackson, friend of the
radio program. In fact, heblames me for him getting caught up in
all this. He said, ifI hadn't been listening to your show,
I wouldn't have known about any ofthis stuff, and I wouldn't have gotten
brought into it. He's a Democrat, but he's an honest man. He's

(21:18):
an old school Democrat, and hehe had the resources to fight. Tony
Bobolinski has had enough. It's thesecond lawsuit he's filed. Foudal lawsuit March
fourth against Cassidy Hutchinson, a formerTrump White House aide, mark herdown as

(21:41):
one of the many Trump should havejust fired, should have emptied the entire
staff, anyone around the White House, all of them. Last big story,
the Department of Justice under Joe Bidenis suing Utah. This is a
little tough to hear quick warning againstthe State of Utah over a male inmate

(22:08):
who thinks he's a woman and removedhis own testicles while behind bars. The
complaint alleges violations of the Americans withDisabilities Act. Here's what's interesting to me.
They're arguing that Utah should have provideda sex change operation for him.
Now that's ridiculous, But let mejust say this. According to the Assistant

(22:33):
Attorney General for the United States JusticeDepartment's Civil Rights Division, people with gender
dysphoria quoting, including those held injails, are protected by the Americans with
Disabilities Act. Excuse me? Areyou saying that people with gender dysphoria are
disabled? I'm just disabled. Howwe're not talking about someone that's wheelchair bound

(23:07):
eighty A that type of thing,you know, wide enough doors, handles
by the toilets and the bathtubs,that kind of stuff. So what kind
of disability are we talking about?I'm just staying I think that's a fascinating
open door through which someone ought towalk in and take a look around and
see what one can find. Fortyseven minutes past the hour, women's basketball

(23:33):
is over for the season. That'snext the Morning Show, Preston Scott,
I'm getting so many email about thesolar eclipse. Prestartradio dot com guys sent

(24:00):
me a photo here of a dudewith his eyes melting out of his face.
Thanks for that image early in themorning. Sorry, id a sneeze
built up there, all right,Lotty Woade. Congratulations young lady Florida State

(24:25):
golfer, first FSU golfer, firstFlorida golfer to my knowledge, to win
the Augusta Women's National Amateur, perhapsarguably the most elite women's amateur tournament in
the world. I mean, youknow, certainly the US Women's Amateur is

(24:47):
a big deal, and but thisis an elite field. They play two
rounds and qualify top thirty, makeit to Augusta and play the final round
at Augusta National. And man,she had a little girl named I think
Bailey Shoemaker just dropped US sixty sixon the field and jumped out to a

(25:10):
pretty good lead, and Lottie justhad to she had to almost birdy out,
and she basically did. She birdiedfifteen, seventeen, and eighteen,
and birdying seventeen and eighteen at Augustais no small feat, but she did.
And congratulations to her winning that NCAAwomen's basketball tournament. Despite the fact

(25:36):
that I think she's a profane,foul mouthed woman, Non Staley's a very
good coach, and she's got aterrific program. She's built at South Carolina
in a relatively short period of time, and I didn't think anyone could touch
this team. Here's what's really alittle perspective. Here's what's frightening. South

(26:02):
Carolina lost five players to the WNBAlast season. Last season they were thirty
seven or thirty six and one.Their only loss was in the semi finals
to this Iowa team. But thistime they prevailed. So I think they're
seventy three and one over the lasttwo seasons. That's impressive. They're bigger

(26:30):
than everybody else, and they're bigs, are talented players, and then they
added shooting. They've never been reallygood outside the three point circle. They
are now and they're becoming Yukon esque. So we'll see. I'm just going
to be curious to see if donStaley's act grows old. But I take

(26:56):
nothing away from her coaching ability.She's a wonderful coach, gets a lot
out of her players. But I'mcurious because they're talking about mowing changes for
the NCAA Women's Tournament because of theunbelievable success, given the trajectory of success
we've experienced over the last couple ofyears. I see no reason to wait

(27:18):
to start that review. The governancestructure has to approve a review, but
that is our ass coming out ofthis championship. I believe it will take
place. This is what they wantto speed up things, make changes,
make it more like the men's tournament. And what they're all forgetting is a
couple of things. Caitlin Clark.Now, I think Caitlyn hurt her team

(27:40):
yesterday because she gets selfish at reallyweird times, and she kind of pouts
on the court a little bit,and I was really disappointed in seeing that
that ain't gonna go In the pros. That will not fly because she's already
got everything against her. She willbe the number one draft pick. It'll

(28:04):
be very interesting to see whether ornot it works for her, because I
think there's gonna be tremendous resentment.She has grown the women's game, there's
no doubt about that. But isit enough? I don't know. Good

(28:33):
Morning Friends, Welcome second hour alreadyMonday edition of the Morning Show with Presto
Scott. April the eighth solar gloopsday. Everybody run for your lives anyway,
Good to be with you. GrantAllen over there in studio Monday.
I am here in Studio one.B. No, it's crazy out there,
it really is. But we aregrateful to be with you this morning,

(28:57):
and I am grateful to have withus Ben all Right. Ben is
the president of the Tallahassee Bike FestFoundation. He's a Navy vet and our
guest this morning. Ben. First, thank you for your service to our
country. How are you, sir, good? Thanks, Thanks very much
for having us on Preston. Wereally appreciate getting a chance to highlight this

(29:18):
absolutely. Well, let's go backa little bit. Where does the Bike
Fest Foundation? Where does this originate? So a few years ago, it
was actually a brain child of mywife and we're I've been on a lifelong
motorcycle enthusiast. Also she and Iare veterans. It was her idea to

(29:45):
create a festival here in town formotorcyclists to get together. The foundation itself
is our nonprofit and its mission isto raise money for local veterans charities.
Obviously, you saw a need andI can I can tell just by you

(30:06):
know, looking around the community andand what I've seen over the years.
We've not done a real good jobtaking care of veterans. Ben, When
did when did you first become awarethat there was a need to step up
and try to do some things tohelp, to be honest with the president,
As soon as I got out ofthe military, I noticed it for

(30:27):
myself. I noticed it for peopleclose to me, friends, family,
And I think the best way todo it, at least for us,
is to start local. Anybody candonate to the big you know, the
big charities out there and national charities, which is great. I think it

(30:48):
is more effective. I think ithits closer to home when you just start
in your backyard. When did yourlove of motorcycles begin? Oh? Boy?
That was that was? I meanwere you were? You? Were
you that little guy that always wanteda motorbike, you know, a minibike
when you were a kid, youwere bugging mom and dad for a minibike.
Yeah, And I think I thinkit was one Christmas. It was

(31:11):
barely old enough to walk and Igot one of those little walk the motorcycles
you walk yourself type of things.And it was because they didn't have they
didn't have the fancy stuff they havetoday back then. But yeah, it's
just been with me for for aslong as I can remember. Just so,
what was your first motorcycle? Itwas that in nineteen seventy eight Harley

(31:37):
Sportster Kickstart. It was barely ran, it was it was a piece of
work, but I loved it.So are you still a Harley guy?
Or have you branched out? BecauseI've I've kind of come to realize that
whatever someone it's sort of like flying, you know, whatever somebody learns to
fly in, they tend to bereally snobbish and want to remain with that
type of plane. Is it thesame with motorcycle? I mean started on

(32:00):
a Harley? Are you still aHarley guy? You know? It's I
can see what you're saying with that, and I can agree with that.
But I was for a long timeand we still have a Harley in the
garage about myself and my wife do. But no, I'm not exclusive.
I I've learned to pretty much loveto ride anything on two wheels, and

(32:23):
that's just that's just what puts asmile on my face. We're talking about
an event, and we're gonna getto that event when we come back.
It is the it's the It's atAppalachie Regional Park and it is the Tallahassee
Annual Motorcycle and Music Festival. We'regonna get to the specifics of the event
itself, and uh, look,if you don't ride a Harley, it's

(32:46):
it's all good. All motorcycles,all music lovers, you love motorcycles,
you love music, You're gonna lovethis. We'll talk about it next with
Ben White on The Morning Show withPreston Scott The Morning Show with Preston Scott
on US Radio one hundred point sevendouble UFLA or on NewsRadio double USLA Panama

(33:10):
City dot Com. Now, thisyear's event is going to benefit one of
one of our favorite groups, andthat's Honor Flight. For years, Honor
Flight Tallahassee has been part of thisprogram. We have tried to direct a

(33:30):
lot of attention to Honor Flight.And Ben White with us from the Tallahassee
Annual Motorcycle and Music Festival. Ben, what drew you to Honor Flight?
Well, in conjunction with a groupof writers that we're close with, we
were also veterans. We got togetherand decided that Honor Flight Tallahassee is a

(33:54):
worthwhile cause for us to donate to. You know, I had two grandfathers
that were World War Two veterans.You know, we see our our veterans
that are maybe a little too allto travel and things like that, aging

(34:15):
to the point where it's just notfeasible and don't have the chance to kind
of be appreciated. Sorry, Ikind of choks me up a little bit
sometimes. But the mission of HonorFlight to take veterans to DC to see
the memorials, to see the thethings that are there to honor them,

(34:39):
and to especially to be there whenthe flight returns to see the joy in
their faces experience. I see theexperiences and hear about the things that they
just did that day. It's justit just kind of melts your heart and
just it makes it all worth it. So where did the idea for the
Motorcycle of Music Festival come from?Well, like we talked about before,

(35:02):
my wife and I just love goinggoing around to the different festivals. We
we just saw a void in thisarea. What we wanted to create was
something different though you know a lotof you know a lot of times those
of events get a bad rep Wedon't we don't, we an't the type

(35:23):
of people and we don't want tobe the type of people to bring a
ruckus to town and things like that. We want a family friend of family
friendly event. We want to showcaselocal musicians. You know, we do
get some out of town, somebig, bigger acts and things like that,
but we we want our community cometo come out, not just community

(35:46):
riders. We just wanted to bean event for everybody here. And we
also have a kid's corner because that'salso important to me, going back to
what you said earlier. We wantprovide those kids who are into it are
just like the thought of two wheels, to come out and experience it and

(36:08):
have a kind of a wholesome environmentfor them to be and you know what
I mean. Sure, So it'san it's a free admission event and uh
and obviously opportunities to raise funds peopledonate to the cause, which is on
our flight? What time are westarting on Friday? And where where are
we going to be? Actually itstarts on Thursday and Thursday. Okay,

(36:31):
but this is and this is thethird the first year that we've we've added
Thursday. It goes from noon tosix on Thursday. Starts right and early
at nine o'clock until eight pm.On Friday and Saturday and noon to yeah,
I'm sorry, nine to noon ninetwo about two on Sunday. Is
that happened? That's your regional parkeast of town, just just outside of

(36:54):
town past the National Cemetery. Soundsgood, Ben, thanks very much.
I appreciate your time this morning andwish you nothing but the best. Thank
you. Preston. All righty BenWhite with us this morning and again the
event is is this Thursday? Sorry, I thought it was a Friday through
Sunday. It's a Thursday through Sunday. At the Appalachi Regional Park. You

later on in the evening, onI think Saturday night, maybe Friday night
as well, So go find outmore. It's again the last annual Motorcycle

(38:00):
and Music Festival. Sixteen minutes afterthe hour, back with more of the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Okay, this was sort of kind of an

(38:34):
animal story, but I couldn't putit in there. I couldn't do it
animal stories. To me, it'slike a Florida Man story, right,
Okay, Florida man's story that involvessome heinous crime is not going in a
Florida Man segment because it's designed tobe sort of ahay, you believe what

(38:58):
illuon this guy is or gal orwhatever, and it's sort of funny,
sad but funny, you know.And animal stories has to be something that's
cute, adorable or wow, that'skind of crazy type thing. This,

(39:19):
as I'm sure you'll determine pretty quickly, just didn't make the cut for animal
stories, which by the way,comes up in a half hour. We've
talked about the fact that billions,perhaps more cicadas are going to emerge across

(39:39):
the country soon, depending on whereyou are. We're talking about a noise
level equivalent to a jet engine onan airplane. That's how loud it's going
to be for a while. It'sgoing to drive some people looney. I'm

(40:05):
reading the headline, and forgive mefor the inartful manner in which this is
written, but I'm just reading BBC'sScience Focus magazine. Billions of cicadas will
soon emerge across the US. Willthere p be a problem? I'm sorry?

(40:29):
The what? Yes? Their urine? Yes? Yes? What?
These hummingbird size bugs can spray.You're in three times faster than a human.
Boy talking about a jet stream?Stand back right, and so the

(40:49):
backsplash. And this is according toa recent study in the journal Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences. Cicadasafter examining urine streams for who has that
job, honey, I believe I'llbe back from work a little late today.
I'll be examining the urine streams ofa cicada. What Smedley got that

(41:15):
job assignment? Anyway? After examiningurine streams from across the animal kingdom,
some hopefully goggle wearing scientists found thistiny insect can presume produce jets of pea
with a velocity of up to threemeters per second, which is three times

(41:37):
faster than an average man. Sofar, so gross. But add to
that the fact that billions, possiblyeven trillions of them are set to emerge
in a once in a two hundredyear event, and you may start to
feel a little worried about your summerplans. Cicadas can get the size of

(41:57):
a hummingbird. Their noisy think chains, think jet engines, and one of
the most interesting aspects is their prolongedjuvenile stage, during which they remain underground
for several years. This year,two so called broods of periodical cicadas,
one which emerges every thirteen one everyseven, are sinking up in some eastern

(42:22):
areas of the United States in anevent that hasn't happened since eighteen o three.
So if you don't if you livedin eighteen oh three and you didn't
have like homes that were insulated withmodern insulation, you know, modern walls,
you went nuts. Oh my gosh, Can you imagine being a guy
on the frontier and you're thinking you'rejust surrounded, You know, you and

(42:45):
your family living on the on thehomestead. Darling. You know, I
asked your shit up, but Ineed you to talk now because I can't
take this. No, he's outthere like that would have been so loud,
that would have been unreal. Ohmy goodness. It's not gonna happen
again until twenty two forty five.So they're like clockhorks there. Well,

(43:07):
that's when the thirteen and the seventeenyear cycles are going to match up again.
Huh. Now, imagine it's thesame people that were following the eclipse.
They were following for the same kindof people, and they're gonna they're
waiting, they're waiting outside the ground. Yeah, Edgar, here they come,

(43:30):
Edgar, they're coming. Here theycome. Oh. But here's the
thing. They're urine because they theywhat they feed on. I'm they're not
recommending that that you sample it.They're just oh, they're just pointing out

(43:50):
that because of what they feed on, it is it is, it is.
It's a little maple bark and stuff. I'll just say that they feed
on maple bark, maple tree,you know, roots and and different things
like that. Okay, they soundthey feed exclusively on xylem sap of trees,

(44:16):
same stuff that forms the base ofmaple syrup. Therefore, when comes
out is a sugary, watery fluidknown as honeydew. But they do not
recommend anybody. But here's what here'swhere it gets really nasty. They're going
to die. These bugs. Theycome out, they look around for a

(44:37):
mate, they breed, and theydie. That's it. And the urinate
apparently they're going to be decaying,billions of them all over these states,
all at once. That's what yougotta be careful of. Just say it.

(45:01):
I'm just do you see why thiscould not make animal stories? There's
just no way we're gonna try toredeem the animal kingdom. In about a
half hour here in the Morning Shorewith Preston Scott. And this is the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. Allright, Big Stories in the press Box

(45:22):
brought to you by Grove Creative Marketingand Digital Expertise. That's Grovi g r
o v A. Big Stories inthe press Box. Former Hunter Biden associate
Tony Bobolinski suing Representative Dan Goldman fordefamation. Lawsuit comes against the New York

(45:42):
congressman, one of three defamation claimsat Babolinsky's fighting on behalf of himself.
He's over it. He's done beingtargeted and being lied about. And I'm
glad, I'm glad he's suing.Biden Justice departments doing Utah over a trans
inmate who removed his testicles. Biden'ssuing because they believe it's Utah's responsibility under

(46:07):
the Americans with Disabilities Act to providetransgender surgery, which is a joke.
That is laughable. It is laughablethat taxpayers should be paying for surgery.
It is, well, then,why shouldn't taxpayers pay for breast augmentation?

(46:30):
Why shouldn't taxpayers pay for penile implants? Why shouldn't taxpayers pay for face lifts
and tummy tucks and butt lifts?Why shouldn't Why shouldn't Americans pay for plastic
surgery of all kinds? You knowwhy you don't get insurance coverage on certain

(46:53):
procedures because they're called elective. Youchoose to do this. And then there's
the solar eclipse. We've talked aboutit. Three pm is allegedly the time
to watch out. Well, letme just help you out here. There

(47:16):
is this idea that as long asyou're wearing these special glasses that you can
look at this thing through binoculars,through your camera, through a magnifying device
of some kind, and as longas your eyes are protected with those things.
Oh no, no, no,no no no. Looking through a

(47:37):
camera, lens, a telescope,binoculars, or any other optical device while
wearing those filtered glasses will burn youreyes, because what those devices do is
they grab all of the image andthey condense it, and the concentrated solar

(47:58):
rays will burn right through the filtersof those glasses. Don't do that.
They're gonna be stories. As sureas Grant and I are sitting here talking,
there will be here, there are. There are going to be stories
of people that did not pay attentionand we're so determined to see that I

(48:21):
didn't look for a minute. Don'tdo that, don't do it. I
remember as a kid, I watchedan eclipse through a device that allowed it
to go through a piece of cardboardand and then onto a paper and then
you watch the eclipse that way.Oh yeah, I remember like that,

(48:43):
that's ah. I remember that.From elementary school. You put them put
a hole in the cardboard and itwould pass through and and you could watch
the whole thing happen. It wasawesome, It was brilliant. And and
boy, what if you like cordedit on your phone and you're not looking
up at the sky, but yourphone is angled at the sky, and

(49:06):
then you watch it back after maynot ever looking at the at the screen
on your on your phone the sameBut you know, I mean, I
don't think there's a problem with that. You know, you're just gonna just
destroy your phone. No. Look, and I'll be honest with you,
I would be a little paranoid atthis point about any of those glasses if

(49:30):
they came from China. I mean, seriously, do you trust them?
Do you trust them? Anyway?You do you, I'll do me.
I don't care. I'm I'm goingto be in my office prepping for tomorrow's
morning show when this all happens.I'll look out in the backyard and go,
oh, I got a little dimfor a few minutes. Huh,

(49:51):
it's back. All right, that'sthat we're gonna see part of it,
perhaps if you have clear skies,But again, I don't care. Forty
minutes after the hour, but we'llsure talk about it. Welcome to the
Morning Show with President Scott Time forhealthy Expectations, and we are joined as

(50:19):
always by doctor Joe Camp's. Goodmorning, my friend, good morning.
How are you today? President?I can't wait for the eclipse. How
about you, Doctor Camps? Well, I hope I'm in my office work
today. I really I used toget excited about it years ago, but
it doesn't excite me. But it'syou know, it's okay for those that
to each his own. I thinkthat's the best way to put that.

(50:42):
President. There you go, thereyou go. You know, I'm going
to talk about the subject that hasbeen somewhat controversial depending on your religious orientation,
and I understand that. But forthe first time ever, there is
a new over the counter birth controlpill that that the FDA has approved.

(51:07):
And the reason I'm talking about thisis, you know, we're confronted with
teenage pregnancies, unwanted pregnancies, thosekinds of things, and so I'm sort
of a philosophy that that if you'regoing to participate that I certainly would hope
that you use some protective measures.Currently we have some, but a lot

(51:30):
of folks have been waiting on thishappening. The new drug is called opi
opill. It's going to retail forabout twenty dollars. It's a daily tablet.
The only contra indication is that Isee or if you have a history
or if you have breast cancer andit's recommended that you not take it with

(51:52):
other birth control pills. Now,one of the one of the real reasons
that that that I sort of likethis event is that you don't have to
have money for a physician visit,and you don't have to have to file
insurance and those kinds of things thatcan becomersome in the environment that that we

(52:15):
work in. But certainly this isshown to be effective, uh, and
it's relatively cheap, and hopefully themessage to get out there. There are
only a few pharmacies that are currentlycarrying this, but some of our larger
retailers. I won't mention them byname, but it should be readily available.

(52:40):
You go in, you take itonce a day only contrimunications or if
you are on some type of birthcontrol pill, or if you have a
history of a breast cancer. So, UH, just want to get that
messaging out there. This has beena breakthrough. I've been waiting for this
to happen for a long time becausecertainly, you know, it can obviously

(53:06):
prevent abortions. UH, taxed thatmarket, and it also attacks the market
as the teenagers having a mother's areactually babies having babies in some instances,
and it's a it's it's an eventthat we've all been aware for many years
and and I think this hopefully willbe a breakthrough to her to help curb

(53:28):
some of that activity of having todeal with unwanted pregnancy. So that's my
message this morning. I wasn't quitesure, I said, why, you
know, I don't know how pressingand reacted this, but uh, I
only know of one form of birthcontrol that works every time without saale.
Well, I understand that person,but that's an unrealistic approach. Let's face

(53:52):
it, my friends. I wouldlove to legislate how I really feel about
those kinds of things, but unfortunately, you know the tide and the way
things have turned. But certainly thisis something that I think moves us forward
in terms of dealing with abortion andunwanted pregnancy. So that's my message this
morning, Preston. I hope,I hope I keep continue to bring some

(54:15):
news that people can use and spreadaround because there's a lot going on in
all aspects of life, and certainlyhealth has no pass through on that.
So things are happening every day.So doctor Camps this morning for you,
Thank you, my friend. Bewell. We'll talk again next week.

(54:37):
Okay, Preston, thank you,sir, Thank you. Doctor Joe Camps
with us this morning. Forty sixpast the hour, forty seven past the
hour, And this is the PrestonScott Show. In the wild or in
our homes, we love them critters, large and small. Time for another

(54:58):
edition of Animal Story on the MorningShow with Preston Scott. A dog missing
from our owners California home for nearlya year has turned up gross Point.

(55:19):
Animal Adoption Society said that a terriermix was wandering loose in Harper Woods.
Concerned residents contacted local police. Policebrought the canine into the shelter. A
microchip identified her as Mishiga. Thedog was missing from her San Diego home

(55:45):
for almost a year. Let's dothe math. San Diego to gross Point,
Michigan is twenty three hundred and fortythree miles. Oh, just a
how does that happen? Yeah,it's crazy. My first thought is surely

(56:10):
somebody had to pick up that dogand then move or come from vacation and
go back to Michigan. I mean, you're not going on vacation in Michigan
and leave it anyway. Or maybeyou know, I've seen those movies.
Maybe the dog was just filming amovie, you know, the Amazing Adventures

(56:31):
where they get lost in a tripwith the family and then they find their
way. Only this dog stupid andgot lost. I don't know, but
reunion all because of the microchip,microchip your pet Utah. I watched this
video Grantsville, Grantsville, a TA. Can I get what what? Officer

(56:52):
Corey Cooper got a report there hadbeen three pigs insert Joe right, I
can just stop and you can justinsert your story about the three little pigs
right. They'd been on the loosefor several days in a given area,
and they left a trail of destructionin their wake, getting into people's yards,

(57:15):
going through the gardens, going throughanimal paddocks. I mean, pigs
are ravenous. They'll eat anything,rooting around, oh my goodness, destroying
people's landscaping and yards. Now thesedomestic hogs, or did they say if
they're the wild sort Nope, therethey have been loose. So they were

(57:37):
apparently they got loose from someone.Okay, so probably maybe previously domesticated and
in some former fashion spending some timenow out in the wild. They're returning
to their primitive roots. And OfficerCorey Cooper spotted at least one of them,
and the video shows him he doveand tackled this thing on a I

(58:01):
mean dove on a cement driveway ontogravel, short sleeves. He got it,
He got the pig. He said. I've known a lot of people
who've had them. I've had someexperience chasing pigs down when they get out.
Brother, tip of the cap toyou, because I watched what you
went through. He was the championat the county Fair when they did the

(58:22):
pig scramble. Probably you know whenyou let the little kids out and try
to catch the catch the pigs.Four ah, can I get a little
four age action there? He wasthe champion. And who says you can't,
you know, take those skilled skinto real life. That's it.
That's it. And then Oregon Departmentof Fish and Wildlife a tanker transporting one
hundred and two thousand spring chunook adolescentsalmon for release in the Imnaha River crashed.

(58:55):
Unfortunately, it was driving alongside thelooking Glass Creak when the truck with
the trailer with all the salmon wentover the side, dumping seventy seven thousand
of the salmon into the wrong bodyof water. I don't know, no
hazardous spill. Obviously, they gotabout a little less than thirty thousand of

(59:20):
the fish that they can then moveto the river where they were supposed to
go. It'll be interesting to seeif these things like destroy the ego life.
It's a threaten the species, Iguess. And so they were trying
to bring it back to a riverwhere they were somewhat native. But anyway,
boy, that driver, he's havinga tough day explaining that one.
All right, back with the thirdhour. All right, let's get to

(59:53):
the third hour here in the morningshow with thrusting Scott. Everybody is it's
just you know what, for aboutfive minutes, maybe ten. I know
the eclipse won't last more than fiveminutes for any one area. It's four
minutes, give or take or less. Bad guys could have a heyday because

(01:00:15):
everyone's up staring up in the sky. Can you imagine if you were like
driving on the highway. Oh yeah, it's gonna be nuts. I got
a note here from Ray said,I heard a great SoundBite from the news
guy Fox someone they interviewed, wegot our tickets for this eclipse months ago.

(01:00:38):
We're so excited, something to thateffect. I'm thinking, you're paying
for the privilege of looking outside.First. Ray is one of our best
but so true though, right,unbelievable. We'll get to that at the
you're probably paying for to be onthe hilltop wherever that is, to watch

(01:01:00):
it someone's private land. Yeah,exactly, that's what you're paying for.
And trust me, in the fineprint of that ticket said no refunds,
not responsible for the weather. Oh, I'd do the same thing if I
were a landowner. You bet,you bet five thousand dollars a ticket,

(01:01:21):
all right. I said, Iwas going to share ten ways, and
this is this is something that wassent to my attention. Ten ways to
feel happier according to science, generic, very generic, and and and then

(01:01:42):
I'm going to add an eleventh.It's a fundamental human goal, of course,
by the United Nations, for usto be happy. Seriously, of
course, it's fundamental grant Come on, you're supposed to be enlightened. Forgive
me, how can you not betotally tapped into the un Come on,

(01:02:04):
man the way, what are youpaid for this kind of commentary right here?
Number one, set a regular exerciseroutine. I agree, okay,
so this routine, this is goingto be grant agrees or disagrees, not
the summaries. Number two prioritize yoursleep. But do you mean we'll leave

(01:02:30):
that quiet? Embrace family routines,build and maintain friendships. Number five on
the list, share kindness. Here'swhat's going to be interesting as we go
through this list. As you gothrough this list, you're going to notice

(01:02:54):
that they're going to be tapping intothings that God says, but they're not
going to give God credit. Youknow, I did a little digging.
Do you realize that the Bible hassold I think the number was five to

(01:03:17):
seven billion copies. There's nothing close. There is no writing, no book
of anything that's even close. Andscience is just see science comes at things

(01:03:37):
with a presupposition that there is noGod. That's how they look at everything
through the lens of bias. Thereis no God. But just think about
the idea of friendships. Well,the Bible talked about the importance of two
and three being stronger than one,and the importance of having so one to

(01:04:00):
be there to lift you up,to build you up, to encourage you,
to correct you, to rebuke you, to say, uh, are
you sure about that? Exercise Body'sTemple of the Holy Spirit rest. That's
kind of a no brainer. Wewere created to need rest. It was

(01:04:21):
sort of an important thing to Godas well. The seventh Day, the
Sabbath of the Rest. Sharing kindnessthough number five before we get to the
rest of the list here and thengo to the eleventh one, which is
going to be obvious to you ina moment, But sharing kindness, the
idea of being kind to people seemsto be a pretty biblical founded concept of

(01:04:45):
considering others more important than yourself.More to come on being happy the morning
Joe at Preston Scott on News Radioone hundred point seven WSLA. Ten ways

(01:05:19):
for you to be happy. Theseare These are not just do this and
be happy. These are a culminationof these things can help you become happy.
Number six Practice mindfulness through meditation.Let me help you out there.

(01:05:39):
Prayer practice, listen to what Psychologytoday says about this, Monitoring your ongoing
experience may make wait wait moite.Monitoring your ongoing experience may make you feel
happier by helping you slow down toappreciate things or to notice more of the

(01:06:01):
happy things that are going on aroundyou. You may begin to pay more
attention to the trees and flowers,enjoy the feel of the sun on your
skin, or bask in the warmthof your partners or child's loving gays,
Huh, I would say pray,I would say pray. Number seven know

(01:06:28):
and use your strengths. Once again, God said people are given gifts,
use them. Use what God hasgiven you, and use it for His
glory, for his purposes. Numbereight express gratitude. Boy, That one

(01:06:51):
has been shown in scientific studies overand over and over to lead to better
health, better sleep, longevity oflife. Just the mere act of being
grateful thankful is a game changer.Smile, show up hands. How many

(01:07:15):
were told by their mother or fatherthat it takes more work to frown than
it does to smile. You usemore muscles in your face to frown than
you do to smile. And numberten set achievable goals for yourself power positivity.

(01:07:39):
You start with small goals and youbuild from there. You get some
wins. I know of people thatjust don't have any wins. They don't
finish things, and so they've neveracquired the discipline of getting some w's so

(01:08:00):
they can achieve things in their life. And I'm not talking about achieving for
the sake of personal glory or gain. I'm talking about achieving for the purposes
by which God gave you strengths andgifts and talents. And that leads me
to eleven. And this one reallyought to be one. If we're going
to put them in order of importance, know God and grow in your knowledge

(01:08:29):
that all of these things are reallybiblical principles. Nearly every one of them
is a biblical principle, just spunby psychologists in a way that doesn't you
know, that doesn't step on anyone'stoes. And you know, I'm telling

(01:08:50):
you there's a reason why the Biblehas sold five to seven billion copies.
There's no other book like it,no other book like it. It is
a game changing thing to have arelationship with God. Because here's the thing.
You're going to transition from understanding happinessto knowing joy. Happiness is what

(01:09:16):
happens to you. It is superficial. Joy is what abides when the happiness
goes away. So friends, Iwould simply, you know, as I
look at this article from smiling tosleeping, Ten ways to feel happier according
to science, I would say,yeah, whatever, know God and grow

(01:09:42):
in your knowledge of him. Thatis how you get to not just happiness.
Because happiness comes and goes joy.We need to be teaching young people
about joy, not the superficial,the deep that anchors, that really really
secures one's foundation. Sixteen minutes afterthe hour, come back with, uh,

(01:10:10):
well, we'll change gears. Itsounds like a song from the weekend.
Yeah, it kind of does,doesn't. It sounds like you're driving
summertime. The es are hot,do do you? Yeah? Anyway?

(01:10:36):
Yeah, yeah, see, I'mI'm a hip guy. Yeah yeah,
my own kind of defined way Idefine a hip. All right, let's
just for a second, let's bethe victim, a family member of a
victim of one of these illegal immigrantsthat are killing our citizens. Here's what

(01:11:01):
brought this story up. An illegalimmigrant who had been deported seven times,
arrested eleven times, charged, withaggravated murder after an unidentified body was found
in Ohio. Police found the bodyin Hamilton, responding to a nine to

(01:11:23):
one one call, interviewed to suspect. The following day, Furman Garcia Gutierrez,
forty six year old Mexican national,detained on an iceholder and held in
Butler County Jail for weapon charges,aggravated murder, drug possession. Butler County
Sheriff Richard Jones said that the suspecthad previously been deported and arrested multiple times,

(01:11:47):
using seven different names, three differentbirth dates. Since January twenty twenty
one, when Joe Biden took office, seven point six illegal immigrants have been
encountered by border patrol. And that'sall we know. That's just what we
know. That's not counting the godaways. Terrorists have been caught. How many

(01:12:17):
haven't. Fugitives have been caught?How many haven't. Here's my question,
isn't it time that someone sues thefederal government? Just sue them now?
Before you say sovereign immunity, whichis what my first thought was. I

(01:12:38):
went in and looked. The FederalTort Claims Act is a law that was
passed in nineteen forty six, allowingindividuals to sue the government for specific torte
claims, just like you'd sue aregular person or a business. The government
usually has sovereign immunity. However,the Federal Tort Claims Act doesn't completely erase

(01:13:04):
sovereign immunity, but it opens adoor. You get a chance to go
after compensation, but only if yousuccessfully prove the government is goofed up and
was negligent. You must prove negligence. How hard would that be? How
hard would it be to show allof these illegals committing all of these crimes.

(01:13:28):
We're not talking about the routine illegalworkers that are working jobs and you
know what, a lot of themare just trying to earn a buck,
and you know what, they sendmost of it back home. I get
it. But we're talking unfettered accessand invasion of our country by criminal elements.

(01:13:49):
These are gang members from MS thirteen. These are gang members of the
cartels. These are people now gaininga foothold in our country for the purpose
of criminal enterprises. These are Islamicterrorists. These are jihadis. These are
chikoms intent on infiltrating our country,setting up drug ops, setting up espionage

(01:14:12):
spy ops, and subverting everything thatthis country is or is left of our
country. So I'm just wondering asI'm looking at this guy. Seven deportation
and eleven different arrests and now murder, and how many other murders have we
chronicled, or even that we haven'tchronicled, that have happened across this country.

(01:14:35):
Lives extinguished because of illegal invaders.That alone is why you can't vote
for Biden. And again, ifyou vote for Joe Biden after these four
years, you are criminally nuts,criminally nuts, or you're you're at a

(01:14:56):
level of dumb that is I can'tI can't help you with I don't know
why you listen to my show.If you continue to listen, I continue
to have hope for you. Butif you vote for Biden, you you
really you need to see you Youneed, you need Jesus, that's what
you need. Twenty seven minutes afterthe hour, come back with the Big

(01:15:18):
Stories in the press Box. Thirdhour of the Morning Show with Preston's Guy
Preston Scott Do or do not?There is No Try on News Radio one
hundred point seven WUFLA oh it's Master'sweek. Cannot wait, cannot wait?

(01:15:59):
Always not going to have a pimentosandwich, but I am going to watch
a lot of golf later this week. Oh that sounds good. I should
get one of those what to watchthe golf tournament with? Yeah, I
should. I should get you know, pimento cheese sandwich for you know,
lunch one of these days. VernLenquiz's final Masters sixteenth hole calling the tournament

(01:16:23):
wasn't Jim Nance? Is he's stilldoing it right? Or yeah, he's
still doing the Masters? Hello?Friends. Dad did the eighteenth hole for
a few years, and then Patsummer All did it for a number of
years, and then Jim Nance plantedPat when Pat retired. Vern Lenquiz probably
the only guy on the broadcast teamthat was a slight overlap of my dad

(01:16:46):
overlap in terms of career worked atthe same time, maybe just barely,
just barely, Vern, So hewould have called a hole when your dad
called a hole. For necessarily hewas he would have been new at CBS
if he was working then at CBS. But he certainly has always been very
kind in his praise of my father. But anyway, the Masters just brings

(01:17:10):
up great mamer. I used toask Dad. I said, Dad,
what was the favorite sport you everdid? He said baseball? Why because
I was in a town more thana day and I could see friends and
just kind of be for a coupleof days, two, three, four
days, chill out a little bitinstead of being on the jets. And
I said, what's your favorite event? Expecting him to say something like the
super Bowl? He said the Masters. It was his favorite event of anything

(01:17:34):
he ever did. It was hisfavorite event. And so I'll just merely
throw out the Hail Mary, asI do every now and then. If
anybody out there knows a member atAugusta National and they need a fourth someday,
just let me know. I'm allin. I had an invitation to

(01:17:56):
play Augusta National and I blew it. My invitation died literally, and so
former longtime executive producer of CBS SportsFrank Cherkennyan was my invite. I just
let that slip on by Big Storiesin the press Box brought to you by

Grove Creative Marketing and digital expertise.Tony Bobolinski is suing US Congressman Dan Goldman,
among others, for defamation. Goodgo get them, go, get

You know why, because Tony Babolinskican present in this court case all of

(01:18:41):
the evidence that he's handed over tothe FBI, to the House, to
the Senate that they're they're ignoring,at least Democrats are. They're doing everything
they can in the mainstream media.And he will force Dan Goldman and others
to go ahead, prove it,Prove that I'm wrong, Prove I've spent

(01:19:04):
a half million dollars on my ownattorneys. Please show me the receipts where
Donald Trump's people paid for this,please, because I've been paying for it.
Those are among the claims that Goldmanhas made. See these guys make
these claims and they never think they'regoing to have to back them up.
The mainstream media doesn't say, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold

(01:19:25):
on a second, what are youtalking about. Mainstream media doesn't do that.
Give you an example in just asecond. Here Biden's Justice Department suing
Utah the state and complain alleges thatthe Americans with Disabilities Act covers transgenders who
want surgery. So this dude ata Utah prison wanted to be a woman

(01:19:46):
so badly he ripped out his owntesticles. Now I'm not kidding. He
removed his own testicles while behind bars, and the Biden administration suing the State
of u to offer not providing hissurgery at taxpayer expense. Of course,
I just think it's interesting that theBiden Justice Department thinks that transgenders are covered

(01:20:09):
by the Americans with Disabilities Act.What's their disability? I would claim that
it's self imposed, and then ofcourse it's the solar eclipse. Please read
some dues and don'ts. Do notallow your children to do this without you
present. Make sure they have eyeprotection that is appropriate. May follow the
follow the dos and don'ts. Yeah, your dog might get weird, your

(01:20:31):
cat might get weird, your petsmight do weird things for five minutes.
Oh well, whatever, Just please, please please be careful looking at this
eclipse. Don't look at it withoutproper eye protection, and don't look at
it even with proper eye protection throughand by the way, regular sunglasses are

(01:20:57):
not proper eye protection even with theproper I wear. Do not look through
a binoculars or a telescope or acamera lens. Nothing that magnifies solar radiation
will burn right through those. Justplease, but we're gonna have stories.
I know it, I know itall right. Forty one forty two minutes

(01:21:32):
after the hour of the morning Show. One of our I don't know,
you could say favorite topics, butit's kind of not because it's a really
sad topic in reality is our viceresident. I don't know if you heard
about this spectrum news reporter who shouldbe embarrassed and ashamed of himself and not

(01:22:01):
to turn in his man card letalone is White House correspondence card. What
I mean, let me just ask. I mean Grant is a journalism major.
He majored in convergence journalism. Heshould have been taught this stuff,

(01:22:23):
though, I will say up front, I don't know what's being taught in
any journalism class anymore. I don'tknow if they're teaching the difference between reporting
and writing an opinion, I don'tknow. But when did they ever go
over what you do if you're goingto interview somebody about a topic. Sure,

(01:22:46):
we had classes in chapters of ourGuided Reading Assigned reading throughout the semester,
specifically designed for long form interview shortform interviews et cetera. So,
if you're asking somebody, say aboutthe NCAA Women's basketball tournament, what would

(01:23:11):
you feel would be helpful for youto prepare for that interview and to ask
a couple questions, Well, whothe teams are, the format and structure
of the tournament, maybe knowing alittle bit about it, Yeah, the
sport, how the year regular seasonplayed out, in terms of comparing what
the tournament is, was their parody, was there, an upset, was

(01:23:33):
there? Whatever? Kind of amacro view and then maybe a little micro
if you're going to ask a specificquestion or two. The idea, though,
in basic reporting fundamental reporting, isto have a little knowledge of the
topic you're you're asking questions about.Part of that is for accountability purposes,

(01:23:56):
to ensure that your responses that you'reeliciting are accurate. Listen to this,
do you know, okay, abit of a history lesson? Do you
know that women were not the women'steams were not allowed to have brackets until
twenty twenty two. I'm gonna pause, we have more. Did you know

(01:24:23):
the little history lesson? Did youknow that that women's weren't weren't women weren't
allowed to have brackets, those thingsthat tell you what teams are playing each
other and advance and then they playanother team and advance, right, And

(01:24:48):
those are brackets. She's first ofall, the condescension, a little history
lesson. Oh you're gonna, you'regonna, you're gonna inform me of something,
are you? She continues, thinkabout that and what that talk about
progress, you know, better latethan ever, but progress and what that

(01:25:10):
has done. Because of course,when you know I had a bracket,
it's not broken completely, but Iwon't talk about my bracket. But you
know what, just how we lovewe love march madness and even just now
allowing the women to have brackets,that does to encourage people to talk more
about the women's teams, to watchthem now they're being covered, you know,

(01:25:31):
and this is the reality. Peopleused to say, oh, women's
sports, who's interested. Well,if you can't see it, you won't
be. But when you see it, you realize, oh wow, when
you see it, it's like we'reall kindergarteners in her world. But here's
the thing. Okay, the women'sbrackets. Did you know they weren't allowed

(01:25:59):
until twenty twenty two? Huh?Did you know Sweetheart nineteen eighty two,
and the reporter is going he does. I wouldn't expect him to know the
exact year the brackets started for women. NCAA took over the women's tournament in
nineteen eighty two. Women's college basketballin the eighty one eighty two season.

(01:26:25):
I would expect a reporter to go, no, ma'am, that's not accurate.
Twenty twenty two. Okay, history, I'm gonna I'm gonna teach you
some history. Okay. If everthere was a human being that is nails
on a chalkboard, it's her,and stupidity is now defined with her picture

(01:26:49):
next to it. Tomorrow on theprogram, Justin Haskins will be back.

(01:27:13):
Confirmed, fired up, excited.Have not talked with Justin in a couple
of months, Very excited to gethim back on the show. Also tomorrow,
Manley Minute Money talk Five facts aboutthe month of March from our friend
Scott Beacon. Scott, we're goingto work out having him join us in
the next couple of weeks about acouple of other things, but came across

(01:27:36):
his five facts, thought i'd sharethose as well. You've done the whole
did you do the ancestry dot comor the twenty three and me, what'd
you do ancestry? Unfortunately, Iregret sending my spit in now after reports
of what they're doing with it,what they're doing with my DNA. This
was her story from a couple ofyears ago. Bright Bart covered it about

(01:28:00):
well, you know these companies thatare starting to centralize and all of these
DNA samples potentially being in the handsof the Chinese. So yeah, this
was a report from maybe about ayear or so ago. So anyway,
hate to damp in the mood,but if the Chi COM's coming to the
conclusion, oh he's half for Lithuanianwhatever, they look at me and be

(01:28:20):
like, oh, this Anglo isOh that experience, she's wild opinion.
Anyway, Yeah whatever. It's interestingbecause there's a there's a PBS show called
Finding Your Roots. Oh yeah,I've seen it. I think it's an
interesting show. I don't watch itper se YouTube clip routinely. Every now

(01:28:43):

That's kind of interesting. I thoughtthis was just you gotta be kidding me.
They do a they do a showwith Michael Douglas, The actor,
of course, is Kirk Douglas's sonwho is spinning image of dear old Dad.

(01:29:05):
But Henry Lewis Gates Junior, who'sthe host and educator on the program,
does the big reveal and he saidthat we're gonna we're gonna show you
that you're related to another very famousactor. And then he pulled up a

(01:29:25):
photo and Michael Douglas says, areyou kidding? No, he is a
distant cousin to Scarlett Johansson. Oh, I did see that clip. It's
crazy maternal side of Johansson's family,which traces to Jewish ancestry in Eastern Europe.

(01:29:53):
And he said, well, that'sthat's incredible. Of course, it
is brought to you by Baron noheating in air. It's the morning show
on WFLA, and now the chicoms know it. Yeah, yeah,
what do you gonna do about that? Huh? Solar eclipse today? Last

(01:30:16):
