Speaker 1 (00:00):
What a Blazer show.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
All right, let the recovery begin, right, Welcome to the show.
Thank you for listening, Mark Blazer and Chuck Douglas.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Is with me, accounted foreign fully conscious?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
I might add, I was gonna say, how are you
recovering or has it been almost nil on it?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
If you had any trouble?

Speaker 3 (00:32):
You know, this is really weird.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Last night I barely slept it all, and I feel
fine about it. It's it's really strange. The kids have
had more trouble with the time thing than I have.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
And you know, you were just telling me this is
an interesting part of this. Literally last week you were like, man,
you know, I am feeling so tired, and You're like,
I got so much sleep. I got a really good
night's sleep, and I don't know why I'm tired. It
is bizarre how it works, though, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yeah, last night I finally got in bed about twelve thirty,
and by one thirty the dog wanted to go outside.
And then I was up again until about three thirty,
and then up again at six and I'm still good.
I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well, we'll see.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
There are a lot of people who probably are not
in your situation. I'm feeling okay as well, but I'm
running on a lot of adrenaline. Let's bring in a
certified sleep science coach and wellness expert NASA, and it's
is it Martinez or Martinez?

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Nasha?

Speaker 5 (01:32):
It's Martinez Martinez?

Speaker 2 (01:34):
All right, Nasha, thank you so much, by the way,
welcome to the show, and thanks for jumping on with us.
This is a this is a thing, and you just
heard us kind of talking about it here for a
little bit. Take us through. First of all, the circadium
rhythm is I think the culprit in this situation, it
kind of gets out of whack, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
I mean, is that part of it?

Speaker 5 (01:53):
Yeah, you're absolutely right. So the circadian rhythm, or your
body's internal clock, I'll base on twenty four hour cycle.
So this significantly influences your sleep wake patterns, which are
guided by environmental cues like light and darkness. So even
throwing it off by just an hour or you can
experience this when you travel right and there's a time

(02:16):
difference in your body experiences jet lag. So there are
a few techniques that we can walk through just to
help people adjust to the new time.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, So what are some of those techniques.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
I mean, is this something somebody could do if they're
in their car listening right now, or should they probably wait?

Speaker 5 (02:34):
They should probably wait until they get home.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Okay, yeah, because it involves I'm guessing closing your eyes
or something.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
As a nap, so we don't want to do that
on the road.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Absolutely, please please wait until you get home. So I
would recommend before going to bed tonight, setting up a
good bedtime routine. Write something that will help ease your
body into sleep. So this can look like anything that
works for you. Right, people enjoy meditating, some people might
find relaxing taking a warm bath, just like sending an

(03:06):
hour before bed with no technology, just to queue to
your mind it's time to go to bed.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
How about how about how about bourbon? Is that something
you have on your list or no?

Speaker 5 (03:17):
Well, the thing is with bourban is that it may
help you relax, but it probably won't help you long
term to stay asleep, like it might wake you up.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Thank you for putting up with my sleep breast, well,
thanks for putting up with my silliness, because clearly I
had to throw that one in there.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
I was like, right in the middle of this.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
List, I'm guessing, yeah, that was probably not something on
your list.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
But continue, Nasha, continue, please.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
Yeah, absolutely, So, like I mentioned, a warm bath, reading,
so anything that really helps you relax. And then tomorrow morning,
I recommend waking up and getting sunlight first thing in
the morning. So that could look like taking a walk
around your block, or if you live somewhere that's cold
where I am in New York City, that could look
like opening your curtain, drinking your coffee next to a window.

(04:02):
Just making sure that you're getting sunlight because that'll cue
your body and your natural cortsal level, so it'll help
regulate your twenty four hour cycle.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
We're talking to Nasha, certified sleep science coach and wellness expert.
Of course, we all lost an hour of sleep over
the weekend. Daylight saving time is up on us, and yeah,
now it gets dark earlier again for a little while,
until you know, we kind of catch up with the
way that the sun's rising and setting. A lot of
people were getting used to having a decent amount of

(04:32):
daylight kind of early on and then this happens and
then boom, it's dark again. So that's not helping people
get out of this funk that they're in either but
NASA also if you could talk to the cardiac event
is a real thing with something like this, and is
it just basically the stress of you know, the stuff
that we're talking about. Your circadian rhythm is off and

(04:55):
you're just feeling groggy and so on, so it just
adds to the stress.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Is that kind of what's at the root of this?

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Absolutely all of those things that you mentioned. And also
just like daily stressors, So people who have kids and
now they have to navigate right with their kids and
going to school and waking up a little bit earlier,
so all of that can contribute to them.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
So the other thing that I think is always something
a lot of people, for whatever reason, they will they'll
cut a corner when they're buying for whatever reason, and
maybe earlier on in life it's because of finances. But
it's so important, and we talk about this and it
should never be looked over. Don't sleep on it, or
do sleep on it, I should say, But the type

(05:38):
of mattress that you get because of all of the hours,
what do we spend a third of our life sleeping
something like that?

Speaker 5 (05:45):
It is a third of our lives, So a third
of our day goes to sleeping, and sleeping affects every
aspect of your well being, right. It affects your mood,
it affects your cognitive function short term and long term,
and it affects the way you perform if you're an
athlete or working out, it affects all of that. So
it's super important that you get quality sleep. And one

(06:07):
of as you mentioned, one of the most overlooked factors
is your mattress. So I always suggest, like, if you're
in the market for a new mattress, taking some things
into consideration. So the most important thing is your preferred
sleeping position. So if you are a side sleeper, you'll
want a softer mattress to really pressure from your shoulder
and your hips. If you're a side or backsleeper, you'll

(06:28):
probably want something that's a little firmer because you want
to ensure that you have proper spinal alignment. And this
is where it gets tough. If you sleep with a
partner and you have different sleeping positions or preferences, then
trying to find a mattress that works for both of
you can be a little challenging. So I always recommend
getting a medium firmness on your mattress to make sure

(06:51):
that both of you feel comfortable on there.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
You know what we're talking to Nasha who is a
certified sleep science coach wellness expert, and of course losing
an hour of sleep over the week and everybody dealing
with daylight saving time. Now we're talking about the mattress
right there. You talk about sleep positions. And you know myself,
I'm married as well as Chuck, we're both married. We
have but do you have any advice if there's a

(07:15):
dog in the mix as far as sleeping in the bed,
because maybe I tell my wife sometimes I'm like, I've
had it the way the dog moves around and they're
always messing around doing something, and I don't know that
there's anything for that except kick them out.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I suppose no.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
I mean, I fear you. I have a cat who
also gets like midnight zoomy's and always wakes me up.
What something that that's helped me is number one, ensuring
that my mattress has enough motion isolation. So when you're
testing out a mattress, you'll want to see the balance
on it. Because also, like if your partner is someone
who tosses and turns all night, you'll also feel that recoil,

(07:53):
which could also wake you up. So making sure that
you have a mattress that passes what we call the
Goss test. So we actually put a glass of water
on the mattress and we'll jump on it and see
how much it moves. Yeah, you can find that on
our website. We do a lot of fun testing with
our mattresses.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
I can tell you once upon a time I had
a I mean really bouncy mattress. Unfortunately, and uh when whenever, yeah,
she would flip over, everyone almost bounced me out of
the bed.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
I was like, literally, yes, it was crazy.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
I was like, I gotta do something. I gotta change
this up because that's not gonna fly. But unfortunately, at
the time, I wasn't in the position to get anything new,
so I just kept dealing with it. And uh, but yeah,
that's that is so important because when they move, it's
like it wakes you up, especially if you're like for me,
being the man of the household and you're you kind
of sleep light anyway, because you know you're you're trying

(08:48):
to protect everybody.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
You know.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
I have a couple of kids and my wife and
so it's you know, throw that in the mix, and
it's like it makes for a disaster sometimes trying to
get a night's sleep, you know exactly.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
And also like if you have a large dog, it
sometimes helps to put a blanket near the foot of
your bed and trying them to sleep on there. So
that way, that also absorbs a lot of like the
motion if they're moving around a lot.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Very good, all right.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
She's Nasha Martinez, a certified sleep side coach and wellness expert.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Nasha, thank you so much for joining us.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
And yeah, here's hoping some of your some of your
advice gets taken to heart by some people who are
struggling out there.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
But Nasha, thank you so much.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
You're welcome, all right.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
So, yeah, like you were saying, Chuck, I don't know
you said, Lupa.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Does Lupa sleep there with you guys?

Speaker 3 (09:36):
And if I can get away with it, the Queen
is not one to have the dog in the bed.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
See, It's it's kind of opposite for us at different points.
And I was I struggled with you know, Esther was
doing just fine sleeping in the kennel when we first
got her. For over a year and then one night
I just kept feeling so bad that we because get
what happens is downstairs. You know how the temperature are different.
If you like, in the summer, we pull we pull

(10:03):
the air down, the ac down, so it would be
a much colder downstairs. And you know, temperatures usually, you know,
heat rises, so it takes it to be a little
lower to get the upstairs a little cooler and more comfortable.
And I used to struggle with I'm like, she's down
there freezing in her because she's on the first level,
and I just I swear it was killing me. And

(10:23):
I kept saying it over and over, and finally Jenny's like,
and it was just funny watching esther's face too.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
She's like, what am I? What am I doing in here?

Speaker 3 (10:30):
You?

Speaker 1 (10:31):
I'm nuts? This isn't my bed.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
It was just the most bizarre thing. But it only
took her like two nights, and now it's her pad
and I'm just visiting.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Right well, the the the whole, and I can get
away with this because I know she's not listening right now.
I sleep better without the Queen, but happier with the Queen.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
That's a good way to put it because.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Sarah, when she's there, I'm you know, I'm accommodating the
way she's laying or she you know, is kung fu
fighting in her sleep or something, and because sometimes do that,
just down of the little snore will go and then
all of a sudden and I'd get a foot in
the face or whatever. So yeah, I try to accommodate that,
and I don't sleep necessarily very well. Now when she's

(11:14):
not there, I sleep wonderfully, but I'm not happy because
she's not there.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
I can't stop laughing about the kung fu fighting man
because some people it's mostly kids I think that do that.
I'm fortunate that Jenny's never done anything like that, but
forget it when we start talking about kids. I mean,
my son can get violent and all of a sudden,
you know, he's halfway he rotates somehow, he does half

(11:39):
of a curly shuffle in the bed, you know, so
he starts out in the normal position and then he
gets and I'm just like na, na, Nah, this ain't
gonna fly. And you try to put him back and
they start swinging or whatever.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
It's just like Geez I was telling her this morning,
when you start talking like that because I laid there.
I told you I didn't sleep much of what I
and she's going at it and I'm just laying there
with my head on my hand, looking at her, and
I'm thinking I'd done married a Japanese woman because I
don't even know what she's saying. But she just goes
on and the louder it gets to know more, I
know I need to get farther from her because here

(12:10):
it comes.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Man, what least you're getting it figured out. That's half
the battle, right, I mean.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
You knowing when to duck is how you win eventually.

Speaker 6 (12:19):

Speaker 7 (15:23):
Doing, YEAH i got a reputation to, keep so certainly
don't becoming everybody my sweet start Here chuck is rubbing
off on. Me it's ALL i could.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Say, yeah well tell us about. It what do You
what exactly is going on with The Girl scout?

Speaker 7 (15:38):
Cookies, yeah so kind of bumped into this by, accident
but that that's how life. Works so one of my
colleagues FROM fop were At City hall and we came
across this young girl Named jay and her Mom, britney
were selling some cookies and they're From White, house a White,
Hole Girl Scout troops sixty six seven zero sixty six
Seventy AND i, said, hey how's the cookie cell? Going
and she said not very. Good and this little girl was,

(16:00):
saying how there's five girls from Their scouts and extremely
short on, sales and they don't believe they're gonna make
their goals and their their their dreams of going To
disney look like they're. Over SO i mean that took
two seconds for THE fopeda step. In we, said our
members are part of this, community they believe in our.
Communities so what we did is we bought every single
cookie on that. Table so we're definitely gonna have to

(16:20):
work out a little bit harder this. Month but then
we still let's get the community. Together let's start getting
the word. Out and a lot of people your, listeners
they want to. Help we know, this, well here's an
opportunity to help these kids go To.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Disney well how do they.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Get to troops specifically sixty six seventy because we know
typically it's easy to find them that you, know you
could just be walking into A walmart or into A
meyer or whatever Or kroger and they could be set
up right. There but, specifically this The White, House Whitehall
Girl Scout. Troop they're the ones looking for specific in this. Situation,

(16:53):
now some might be listening, going hey, man that's till
they get into their you, know into their favor or.
Whatever but, Look i'm All i'm down with trying to
help them get To disney as. Well this is, good
but how do people physically buy so they get the
credit for?

Speaker 1 (17:07):
It so this is.

Speaker 7 (17:09):
Where it's going to get a little bit tough and
a little orthodox because it's towards the end of the.
Sales so the first thing you could, do and probably
the most, easiest is you can go to THE fop
nine dot. Org that's our. Website under there there's foundation.
Donate if they donate, to THE fop will earmark that
and one hundred percent of that will go to The Girl.
Scouts they could follow up with an email To brittany

(17:50):
you want to donate what you want and we'll take
care of.

like talking about, This Zach attack ends up sending me
an email and said give him give them my credit card.
Number if they don't make their, goal he's going to
go ahead and buy the trip To disney for the.

Whitehall Girl Scout troops six sixty seven. Zero any of

(18:36):
those means can get to.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Us also with, THIS i, mean what kind of do
they put numbers on this or did they just say
we need to sell the most or did you inquire
about that? Going so what's basically going to get this
done as far as numbers, Go i'm guessing, man maybe
they probably didn't talk about.

Speaker 7 (18:55):
That it probably takes about each child probably has to
come up with about five hundred dollars in, sales which
which you, know in the scheme of things for some
people is not a lot for some. People that's. Everything
WHAT i love the most About, jay this little GIRL i.
Met she was actually putting in the. Work she was sitting.
THERE a lot of times we don't see. THAT a

Yeah i'm THINKING i don't know if that's there's any legal.
Repercussions but instead of being in front of a grocery.
STORE i think that's Where i'd.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
BE i, mean it's going to take a special group
of parents to be okay with Their Girl scouts setting
up outside of one of the.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
DISPENSARIES i, mean but it's absolutely.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
GENIUS i would imagine you would sell those in the
inside of an. Hour you could have thousands of boxes
and you would probably move, THEM i mean pretty. Quickly
i've maintained that having a donut place just next to
almost sharing a, wall if you, will with a dispensary is.
Genius but that right, There, CHUCK i mean that is
sharing a wale up perfect.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
Man let the fumes get over there while they're deciding
which greenery they want to.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Purchase head look Like Yogi Bearrett Jellystone.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
Park following that sent out the door and right next to,
That hell, Yeah, CHUCK i.

Speaker 9 (22:51):
JUST i just looked this. UP A Girl Girl scouts
actually did that In San francisco twenty. Eighteen they said
they sold two hundred and eight boxes in an.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Hour you, could, yeah so do that.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Math you set up outside, there you just invest five,
hours you sell a thousand boxes of, those and that
right there would be some big. Money that might be
what they need to just get over the hump and
end up At. Disney BUT i, again since it was twenty,
eighteen what is that that'd be what seven years? AGO

(23:23):
i would imagine that that might have been the last
time their people probably got involved in. It, yeah that's
Not it doesn't go along with our image or whatever
Arc bleezer.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Show.

Speaker 8 (23:44):
Ah, yes beautiful, weather and it just gets better every.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Day this. Week you gotta be in, Heaven.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
CHUCK i know last week about Midweek you're, Like i'm

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Shirt no, jacket enjoying the heck out of. It i've
got what's sixty five, Now, yeah Sixty it's, BEAUTIFUL i.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Know and that's the thing where it just continues to
get warmer every. Day this is a, nice little little
reprieve from what feels like this, long, cold gray winter we've.
Had but this is this is nice and it's not
just a one. Off it's literally the entire week of warm.
Temperatures so but look it is It's, columbus it Is,

(24:28):
Ohio so let's.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
GO i Know april's going to he is a surprise.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Coming, yeah hopefully it's not more snow at some, point
but we all know how that.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Works you can get snow In, april that's for. Sure.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Man so all, right The department OF A department Of
justice investigating major egg producers and soaring. Prices let's bring
In peter Hire lamboos FROM Abc, news the investigative, reporter and, Uh, peter.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Welcome to the.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Show so if you will talk about, that are they
are they basically the investigation like they're looking at price?

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Gouging is that in play? HERE i, mean what kind
of stuff are they looking?

Speaker 10 (25:05):
At, well that's exactly right at this point to the
DJ's in the very early stages, here but they're trying
to figure out if these these massively high egg costs
the average of five dollars in super markets across the
country though we've all seen, higher is only due to
the bird flu or if there's allegedly some kind of
kind of coordination among these major egg companies to keep prices.

Speaker 7 (25:26):
High so there.

Speaker 10 (25:28):
Isn't any particular finding at this. Point, again they're in
the very early, stages but they're looking into these major
companies to see if there's some kind of collusion between
them to, profit particularly from this bird.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Flopidoc, yeah this is to certainly see the projection right.
Now AND i don't know if you're on if you've looked.
In i'm sure you have since you're doing a report on.
This BUT i was seeing that they're talking, about for,
instance over the weekend last weekend for eighteen, eggs we
paid eleven dollars in some, change and THEN i was
seeing on the news that they're projecting another eighteen to

(26:04):
twenty percent hike in the, future where this is going
to continue. Climbing is that what you're seeing as?

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Well, no that's exactly.

Speaker 10 (26:12):
Right THE usda last month predicted that the cost of
eggs could go up as much AS i think sixty.
Percent they're estimating about average about forty percent in their margins.
Bearer but, again it's only climbing from. Here that we
did see a little bit of a reprieve on the
wholesale price last, week and this kind of begs the
question of who's paying for this and who's benefiting from.

(26:34):
This if you look at some of the largest egg
companies in the, country they seem to be doing rather.
WELL i, mean Cal, maine which is the largest distributor
and producer of eggs in the. Country their stock prices
up fifty percent year over. Year their profits are up
three hundred and forty two percent last quarter compared to
the previous. YEAR i, yes they're ondergoing some hardship when
it comes to having to lose a lot of, chickens

(26:54):
but they're making a lot of money and consumers pure
to be paying for now there's something wrong with make.
Money THE dj is not trying to criminalize, capitalism but
there is this question of is there potentially some kind
of coordination.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Here, yeah you mentioned that, quarter the first quarter of
this year for that company and how they were.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Up their profits were up at three hundred plus.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Percent there IS i mean that's not necessarily indicative of
total sales because as we, know the prices have been
spiking for a, while WHICH i think that's indicative of
what kind of is happening, there, Right, yeah and we'll.

Speaker 10 (27:27):
SEE i think we'll get a better picture when they
release their findings from quarter three of this fiscal. Year
AND i should, note you, know Col maine is not
able to be reached for, comments and the company that
represents all of these egg manufacturers in the country are
pushing back strongly on the idea that these prices are
due to anything other than the bird. Flu but, again you,
know there is a history here where companies have kept

(27:51):
prices high after these you, know limited supply issues and
surging demand in part to recoup some of the losses
from having killed the. Chicken so, again these prices seem
like they're going to stay high for a, while and
for now it seems like they are least some companies
that are making a lot of money off of.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
It, BOY i hope there's some of that stuff that's you,
know being investigated, here and CERTAINLY i feel Like i'm
confident that they'll find if there is, anything they'll find,
something and it'll be a big. Scandal Big egg is
after us or Big chicken or whatever you want to call.
It But i'm, hoping, MAN i am hoping that something
sideways has not happened and you, know them deciding, oh,

(28:30):
well look we have a chance here to really cash.
In you would just hope that you, know all these
companies get together and don't do that in this.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
SITUATION i.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Hope by the, Way, PETER i was pronouncing your last name.
Correctly DID i get close at?

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Least?

Speaker 10 (28:45):
YEAH i would say it was pretty.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Good, actually harlam Booths, OKAY i JUST i wanted to
make SURE i was saying it. Correctly peter Harlm BOO'S
Abc news investigative.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Reporter, peter thanks for joining. Us appreciate you very.

Speaker 7 (28:55):
Much thanks so much for having.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Me.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Guys stick care you?

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Bet you? Bet? YEAH i don't when you're hearing all that,
chuck are you?

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Going?

Speaker 2 (29:02):
MAN i, HOPE i, hope, hope, hope hope that something
sideway hasn't happened. Here but would it really shock you
compared to what's going on with this president invading Mar A.
Laga we can go down the whole list of stuff
that's happened to him that you. Go are you kidding?
Me you want to talk about sideways and something like?

Speaker 1 (29:19):
This could it be a?

Speaker 4 (29:20):
CONSPIRACY i hope, not though we have seen And i've
been talking about this since the first part Of january Now.
FEBRUARY i guess going into The Super, bowl we had
wings for The Super BOWL. Kfc no shortage of chicken, There,
well we've Got chick Fil a doing. Well no shortage
of chicken. There there's McDonald's hast, chicken no shortage of.

(29:41):
Chicken where do we have all this? Chicken the grocery
shelves are full of all kinds of. Chicken where do
we have all these? Chickens and we don't have? Eggs
something does not smell. Right and it's not just about
an egg.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Farm, YEAH i didn't that would have been a good
obviously a good thing to say To peter, there BUT
i you, KNOW i didn't want to get INTO i,
mean that's a that's an interesting. Point AND i and
call me, DUMB i, Suppose but right Now i'm not
sure which chickens is. It is it the non laying

(30:12):
chickens that are not being, effected because if they're saying
they've got to get rid of them because of the
av and, flu then you're, right it WOULD i feel
like it would be all.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Chickens, yeah only chi Can only the chickens that lay
eggs can get the aven and. Flu how why is
it all these others are okay for us to process and.
Eat it doesn't make.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Sense.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah and and if they're, saying, well THE avi and,
flu you can't have them laying eggs because they pass it.
On but you're able to eat. Them that's the only explanation.
Here but the other part of that, is, well, no not,
really because you're saying they all had to be destroyed
FROM avi and. Flu which, again if that's the, case

(30:55):
why do we have the? Wings why are we not
seeing a shortage of? Chicken nobody been able to answer,
That by the, way have they.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Remember the swine flu and mad cal and and, look,
man it all turned out to be a bunch of nothing.
Burgers and if that's what this turns out to be after,
PEOPLE i, mean that's like one of the. Basics that's
one of the eggs you gotta that's breakfast for the.
Kids that's what stretches things that eggs are a pretty
vital part of Every american. Household and it just if

(31:24):
we find out they've been jerking our chains on, this.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
There's gonna be some. Blowback, yeah, yeah for.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Sure so we'll keep an eye on this AND i
hope that, somehow some way it starts to go. Down
but the fact that THE doj is on the job
depending on you, KNOW i.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Mean we know who we voted for here.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
There if there's something going, on they're gonna find it
And i'd like to, Say i'll be shocked if they
find something that's a little bit off, here BUT i hope.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
NOT i hope.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
NOT i hope that's.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
Well binding needs a, win so you, Know i'm glad
to see that she is suffering after that document. Thing,
man something's got to go right for her before people
start taking her.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Seriously i've just been quietly not really speaking about that.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Going.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
MAN i hope she can redeem herself some way.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
HERE i mean we did when at first that little
bit of a fiasco started. THERE i took her to
task on the air and just kind of been quietly
waiting and hoping that she does, somehow like you, said
redeem herself or, something something go really well for her right,
now because, yeah she's she's not like a lot of
conservatives most, favorite because a lot of people were waiting

(32:32):
on this this list and now it's reduction and, anyway
staying about staying with the.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Eggs let let's Take Dave dave as is ringing. In,
Dave welcome to the. Show thanks for.

Speaker 11 (32:43):
Calling. Brother, hey, GUYS i gotta tell YOU i getting
lay eggs from a local. Farmer it's been five bucks
a dozen for two, years it's still five bucks a.
Dozen all those chickens are out running around their yards
picking all the insects, up you, know by. Local that's
ALL i can.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Say, yeah where the the guy that you're, using does
he SUPPLY i, mean does he have a decent amount of?

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Chickens?

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Dave and does he are there a lot of people
in other words that are buying from? Him because how
many could somebody do on a situation like?

Speaker 1 (33:16):
That or does he have a bunch of?

Speaker 11 (33:17):
People, well there are a bunch of. PEOPLE i, mean you,
know WHEN i pick up my, eggs they're no more
than two days out of the rear end of that.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Chicken right, right, Right, okay you know.

Speaker 11 (33:35):
How to if you know how to read THE uh
the codes on THE uh you, know on the boxes
that you get from the, stores you're lucky if you
get them two three weeks you, know after being picked, up.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
RIGHT i, mean clearly it's a it's a much different
operation when you're getting them from the. Store BUT i
know exactly what you're talking, about no question In, Dave thanks,
man thank.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
You let's grab who's on the on? Hold, dirk welcome
to the.

Speaker 8 (34:02):
Show thanks for having me on. Gentlemen, sure, sure the
meat chickens and six to eight weeks you typically have
a harvestable, bird, okay so their turnaround is very. Quick
the egg laying, hens depending on the, breed eighteen to
twenty two weeks old is before they can even start,
laying and then their productive life may be a. Year

(34:25):
so that can show you how long it takes to
get if you've got to wipe out a whole flock
or a whole, barn how long it's going to take
you to?

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Get, well, pa why only a?

Speaker 8 (34:36):
Year?

Speaker 4 (34:37):
Is are they giving them something to inspire too much?
Laying are they forcing them to create more eggs than
they naturally?

Speaker 8 (34:43):
Would, no some breeds will give you three hundred to
three hundred and fifty eggs a, year but once they
get two years, old their production goes, down but their
feed consumption, Doesn't so your profitability decreases if you're not
still producing a large number of. Eggs that just the,
Way so then those birds would be.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Called that explains then that they you, know after two,
years they they probably then can sell them for you,
know chicken, breast chicken, thighs all of that.

Speaker 8 (35:12):
Stuff, correct they're probably they're probably going into soup and
shredded chicken because these laying hens they don't have a
lot of meat on. Them it's kind of like a dairy.
Cow dairy. Cow you look at, them there's they don't
produce as much.

Speaker 7 (35:27):
Meat as a beef cow WOULD i?

Speaker 8 (35:29):
See, okay there their bread to lay a bunch of
eggs or egg laying. Machines where the meat, chickens which
are cornish crossed they are they're like on. Steroids they're
not truly on, steroids but you know What i'm, saying
they right?

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Right, well then one more.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Question then one more, Question, derek because you sound like
you're very knowledgeable. Here so with the younger chickens that
you were talking about typically are used for meat. Chickens
if if avian flu affected the flock or the whatever
you call, them then then that would mean that any
of the younger woods would have to be wiped out,
too if they were in the process of getting to

(36:04):
that point where they're gonna be a good meat.

Speaker 8 (36:07):
Chicken right, Right and but those are all BEING i,
mean the turnaround is so quick on. That you know
from a from a chick a day old, chick the
harvest is maybe eight. Weeks, okay, okay and then there
are six pounds seven pound bird ready to be a
broiler At kroger Or myers or wherever you're going.

Speaker 7 (36:28):
To get your bird.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
At, okay very.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Good we need to range our egg.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Parameters, thanks open it up from just chickens to ducks
and geese and all kinds of other foul here in
The United. States so why hold ourselves hostage to something like? This,
YEAH I i, yeah that's those are all good. Questions
and you heard.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
ME i didn't even know whether it was the same
ones that are being used for the meat chickens or
that was, interesting Though dirk had some good.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
INFORMATION i appreciate.

Speaker 6 (36:59):
That, Traffic, Weather, sports and The Mark Blazer show on six'.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Ten, wtvn well we got a. Blood moon he's coming,
up HERE and.

you say.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Blood Moon chief Meteorolit just marshall McPeak is joining.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Us now so a total also a total lunar Eclipse, eclips,
yeah yeah that's happening, this Week right.

Speaker 6 (37:27):
Friday morning so like two thirty in, the morning we'll
have a total. Lunar eclipse i'm hoping that we'll be
able to see it between. Some clouds it looks like
we're probably gonna have some partly to mostly Cloudy sky,
Friday morning So overnight Thursday into, friday morning you're gonna
have to stay up, late overnight so the eclipse begins

(37:47):
at about twelve thirty, or so and you get the
partial eclipse until it's a full eclipse about two thirty
ish in, the morning and then it'll be a partial
eclipse as it begins, to end so it'll be between,
some clouds but it's Coming on. Friday morning we'll talk
more about it as the week goes on and see
how those clouds are going to behave between now. And
then tonight would be a beautiful night for it because

(38:09):
we'll be mainly clear forty two for the, eventual low
mostly sunny to party cloudy during. The Day, on tuesday
some clouds come, and go but a very mild higher
on sixty. Eight degrees that's almost twenty degrees above average

Speaker 2 (38:26):
On thursday, all, right marshall, Thank you it is sixty six,
right now.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
YOU know, I yeah i'm in a couple of.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Different tournaments, out Here and I'm In las vegas this
week and so. Excuse me over the weekend was Was,
at durango which is where the first. Tournament was and
so the beautiful part of that was it was a,
slot tournament because most people, are like what you get?
In those but the thing is you had twenty thousand

(38:57):
dollars in free slot play that was on the. Life
line you could, win that and then second place was,
still thousands third place, still THOUSANDS and i didn't get
anywhere near any.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Of that as far as the way the.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Tournament goes but the beautiful part is it's totally random
with those, stupid tournaments and they call, them tournaments but
it's really just, a crapshoot which let's, face it that's
the way it is with any slot.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Machine ANYWAY but i still ended. UP winning i got
into some of, the money and so that was.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Really fun AND so, i decided with a blackjack tournament
that's coming up this, COMING weekend i, was like why
not just work, from here do the show, from here
and THAT way i don't have to fly back and
forth back, and forth because this coming weekend it's a,
blackjack tournament it's not another.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Slot tournament this one could be could be.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Very good and, Last year i'll, you know in case you,
didn't know but LAST year i got to the final
table twice in a couple at different, times tries if.
You Will, AT palazzo i was in four or five
different blackjack tournaments there and got to the final, table
twice which ended up being pretty good year last year.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
As Far and.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
I'll tell, YOU what i don't remember the LAST time
i was able to say that about Trips To, las,
vegas man because these places aren't standing because everybody's coming out.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
Here winning, for sure considering by the videos you sent,
ME today i would forget. THE gambling i would go
just for.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
The shows And that's i'm so glad you kind of teed.
That Up and i'm glad you are good with having
a conversation about IT because I Saw brian adams, last
night and not that it's been something on my radar
that for years and years, And years i've, always, SAID
man I gotta i Gotta See, brian adams because, you
know kind of going back a, LITTLE bit i Did
Have tom petty on. MY list i never got to

(40:40):
see him before. HE passed i had this. IS sickening
i was telling the people next to me before the show,
last night we're just kind. Of BESSEN and i had
the chance back in the day to Go see Prince At,
mandalay BAY and.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
I you, know what my dumb. ASS did i ended
UP just i, was, Like nah i'll, UH no I
Don't i'm i'm good.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
WITH that i just wanted to, go gamble and like,
AN idiot i didn't Go, see prince and MAN did i.
Regret that when they reported he was dead in an
elevator In His paisley, PARK residence i, was like you've
got to be. KIDDING me, i mean you think about
a genius like That and i'm. Skipping it SO whenever
i get the chance to go see SOMEBODY that i
really Really Love brian, adams music and certainly he's got

(41:21):
ballads and all, that stuff but he's got some. Rockers
too Man, AND chuck i don't know where you come down,
on that but that was last night so good from top.
To bottom he has still. Got it he is belting
it OUT and i didn't. EVEN check i don't know
what his, age is but he looks fantastic and he.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Sounds, GREAT man i was.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
Waiting for as he went into the bridge there to
see if he could still hit the. Higher notes, and
HE as i was telling you when, were texting he
doesn't have the rasp that he had back in, the
eighties but he still hits those notes nice. And clear
his voice sounds good. AND strong i was.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Very impressed he just turned sixty Five.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
IN november i was looking up and, He did i'll
tell you this, last night some of the stuff that he,
was singing some of. HIS hits i swear, To, YOU
chuck i could CLOSE and i was At The. Encore
theater THIS is, i mean it's state of. The art
the sound is so amazing in there, no feedback it's.
So clear if you close, your eyes it's like he

(42:24):
was standing right in front. Of you the way his
voice was coming through and. The phone, you know it
doesn't do it justice as far as the VIDEO that i,
sent you but it's, pretty good, pretty GOOD but i
swear you could close your eyes and he Sounded Like,
don henley like the guy doing, You know Boys, of
Summer That. DON henley i swear he had that kind,

(42:47):
of sound and you're right at times. He did he
did an acoustic couple Like to Love. A woman he
did that ACOUSTICALLY and i didn't get video. Of that
and during that when he would really just like rip
into some of, the vocals that rasp would just kind
of come out like almost like.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Flow out.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
It wasn't it was only when he like pushed his
voice it would start to kind of.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Do that but, you're right he was. Smoother then it
sounds like some.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Of the other stuff from his recordings or what, have
you like on some of his his records.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
And stuff but are they easy going out there about
the recording the shows as well as you don't do
it from beginning.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
TO end i didn't even hear anybody say and no.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Recording devices typically they have that stuff, posted everywhere and
believe it, or not it's mostly on the magic shows
and stuff that they say don't do any video because
they say the flash and some of that can mess
up the performer and. SO on i don't know how
legit any of that is and how hard they. TRY
to i think THEY'RE really i stood there and recorded,

(43:54):
YOU saw i mean three, four MINUTES and i probably
have like four or, five songs and, you know people
were walking around that work there during the. WHOLE show
i never had anybody come up to me, and, go
hey you can't. DO that i think it's kind of
on the artist and, THEY like, i mean you think
about a Guy Like. Brian adams he's he's not looking
for royalties. OR anything, i mean he's he's in the

(44:15):
back nine of his career and he probably just once
the word spread he had such command of. That, Audience
chuck i'm, telling you he never, was like let me.
Hear you he wasn't. Prompting anybody he would just kind
of he would, start singing and he knew it was
a course that, everybody knew and he would. Just stop
he wouldn't hold his hand up. Or anything that crowd
was so. Into it last night they were singing the

(44:37):
ballads and he did like a kind of a weird Version.
OF heaven i wanted to tell you about TWO and
i didn't really. Record it That was Jenny and i's
that was our. First song we danced to his husband
and wife and that's. Our song it was like a
special thing. For us but as, you know that's. A,
ballad well they sped it up and kind of put
a beat, under it and it sounded it, sounded OKAY

(45:00):
but i typically don't like when artists change up something
that was a hit, For Them and i'm not sure
exactly why he. Did that and if, you ask if
you told me THAT and i didn't know the concert
or hadn't watched, Him perform, i'd, say well maybe he
can't hit some of. Those Notes but i'm here to
tell you he could sing every note of that song
because they, did it but they kind of sped it

(45:21):
UP and i can't even. EXPLAIN it, i mean they
didn't speed it up to where it was like a
house version where it, WAS like, i mean it wasn't,
like that but they sped it up and it was
clearly it took on a. Different life it didn't really land.
For me but that was the only THING that i
have that was a bit of a disappointment about. This
show but if you get out here and you're able to,

(45:41):
see him man really, do it especially if You're A brian,
adams fan you will not. Be DISAPPOINTED like, i said
he has so much life and he just seems like
the young guy on stage still like moving around.

Speaker 1 (45:54):

Speaker 3 (45:54):
Really cool i'm glad he.

Speaker 4 (45:55):

amazing still but he's going to be At this. Encore
theater it is an. Intimate SETTING like i, told you
there's fourteen hundred and eighty seats. In there every one
of them had a butt in it, last NIGHT and
i would imagine that's the way it Is For lionel.

big artists that come. Through there but they'll do like a,
mini residency so, they'll do, you know maybe three or
four nights in. A row they'll take like two, nights

it's it is a nice. Intimate, setting MAN where i
WAS at i was Like ro q from, the FRONT
which i. DON'T know i mean that's still back a,
little ways but it's it's, stadium seating and, you're like

Up upper the.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Upper mezzanine it's it's, good man that's a really great
place to see. A show i'd never been In The,
