Speaker 1 (00:04):
We'll do it a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk Media Network,
All natural and free of artificial intelligence.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Stuart said, steal me stem, I'll write it and we'll
do it.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Lot is for work, when the sun comes up, drops
a pet to school.
Speaker 5 (00:21):
Then Jo has.
Speaker 6 (00:23):
Everything a gender, all the jost no one that josas smiled.
Speaker 7 (00:30):
He on the eggs.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Joe, thank you for letting us be of service to
you this morning.
Speaker 7 (00:39):
I want to be.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Here hold these truths. Four three four eight eight two
four two one seven. That is the phone number, because
we'll tell you the news certainly, and then we will
break down the news for you from where we said.
But mostly I want to hear how the news is
impacting you where you are, because that's going to be unique.
(01:02):
No matter where you are, whatever you're doing, Butcher, Baker,
candlestick maker, it is going to have a different impact
on you. And just I wanted to play this club.
I don't know if the moon was full or if
Jim Lovell waited for the moon to be full or
not he's considered.
Speaker 8 (01:22):
I know that I'm one of the luckiest men in
the world to be here on earth again, to have
enjoyed a career in the nation's great space program, and
then and then to be played on a big screen
by Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Swing that's from the American Film Institute, And if you ever,
if you watch that when you're fetting Tom Hanks, he
was truly surprised by the by this presentation. He didn't
expect Jim Lovell to come out and make a speech
or anything else. The Apollo, the actual Apollo thirteen commander
(02:01):
who Hanks played. And to be fair, how many of
your friends, how many of your friends, be honest with me,
now are living their lives with just a little bit
of an idea that maybe, just maybe Tom Hanks might
play them in there in the retelling of somebody's life story.
It doesn't even have to be your life story. It
(02:23):
can be somebody else's life story, just as long as
Tom Hanks gets to play you, even if it's just
a walk on. And for our friends, and I don't
know if they're tuned in for the Saturday edition of
the mission, but our friends kfar in Fairbanks, it's going
to be a busy week for you, guys. Better rest
(02:43):
up this weekend. Much going on in Alaska this weekend,
our friends on Long Island News Radio oneh three point nine.
Is so great to be back on WRCN for the
first time since nineteen ninety four. They have had me
back for the second weekend, So that must say something.
But just a life of duty, and so many of
(03:08):
us fall prey to this where you know, we are
so insistent on, you know, the way things going on,
that when something goes pear shaped, what do you do?
What do you do when everything goes wrong? And this
is sort of the story of Apollo thirteen, and having
been born on a Friday the thirteenth, I find there's
(03:29):
some appropriateness to it as well, and we appreciate that.
But our first things on this Saturday morning peace in
the Caucuses, and I don't mean the political Caucuses, as
the President held a profound meeting in the White House
yesterday to announce a peace deal thirty five years in
(03:54):
the making in between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The two countries
in the Caucus region will have signed an agreement to
create a transit conorder that will reconnect iSER Baijan with
its Nakajeevian enclave, which has been separated by Armenian territory
(04:16):
for thirty five years and has been the flash point,
much like the Kashmir region in between Pakistan and India
have been a flash point four years. Meanwhile, territories might
be on the discussion point in Alaska. This week, President
Trump and the Kremlin of both confirmed that there will
be a summit meeting in Alaska on August fifteenth between
(04:40):
President Trump and President Putin. At least, the President said
through truth Social that even President Zelenski is close to
a ceasefire deal to end the three and a half
year old war. However, the President said in the Oval
Office yesterday quote, there'll be some swapping of territories to
(05:03):
the betterment of both. Putin officials say that the region
called the Donbass is what they're speaking of, and that
they have told Steve Whitkoff that that's what they want
is they want that to be part of Russia, not
part of Ukraine. Contenders to be Jerome Powell's replacement, should
(05:25):
that ever become necessary, are becoming listed. There's apparently ten finalists,
including former economic advisor to George W. Bush, Mark Summerlin,
and former Saint Louis fed presidents James Bullard, Federal Appeals
Court Friday shut down Judge James Bosberg's attempt to pursue
(05:48):
criminal contempt charges against figures in the Trump administration at
two to one ruling. The US Circuit Court of Appeals
for DC said that Bosberg's orders were overly ambiguous and
left too much room for interpretation. The Pennel also found
that Bosberg's attempt to hold administration officials in contempt for
failing to follow an order that was later overturned by
(06:10):
the Supreme Court is unprece attended. A police officer in
Atlanto is dead this morning, and so is his assailant.
And a shooting that happened outside the campuses of the
US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention yesterday afternoon. And
those are our first things this Saturday morning. At Fishburne
(06:35):
Military School, there's no hiding here. They don't believe in
one size fits all education. They believe in structure, brotherhood,
and unlocking potential. Whether your son needs to discover his strengths,
build confidence, or gain leadership skills, fishburn helps young men

Speaker 7 (07:02):
Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas, yes,
actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
(07:27):
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric oxide,
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go
(07:50):
to total Wellness dot com. That's total wellness dot com
where we are helping you to look good, feel good,
and enjoy total wellness. Considered by most, Optimized curcumin is
one of the few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products
(08:11):
on the market. I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic
diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems to be a
perfect addition to any nutritional program. It makes sense to
me that preventing or reducing inflammation is a key component
to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic found that Kurcumin
(08:34):
can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties, and research
suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer or at least slow
the spread of cancer, and in many instances, make chemotherapy
more effective. It protects our healthy cells even from radiation.

Speaker 9 (09:02):
I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
are not from US. Real solid security employees will never
(09:25):
threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
your personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire
transfers of prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our
(09:46):
law enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at
OIG dot SSA dot gov. Share this information with your
friends and family.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah.
Speaker 10 (10:00):
It's always a boy growing up on a farm in Tennessee,
I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only in alle
of their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
(10:20):
jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
they also perform life saving work every day.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Dogs keep us safe at airports.
Speaker 10 (10:36):
They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
in need. So please join me an American humane and
supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
on this planet we inhabit. Together, go to American Humane
(10:56):
dot org to learn more.
Speaker 11 (11:00):
Bruh, that's buzzed.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
Speaker 10 (11:05):
And now a speech.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
heart and brain.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Who's with me?
Speaker 12 (11:13):
Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
brain is saying when it's time to go home.
Speaker 13 (11:18):
Somebody call me a ride.
Speaker 11 (11:19):
Love that guy, me too.
Speaker 14 (11:21):
Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
it's time to go home.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Buzz driving is drunk driving.
Speaker 15 (11:28):
Did you know that more than half our household energy
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
(11:49):
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
leaks around windows and doors, check ducts for holes, and
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs when
you shop for a new appliance, look for the energy
Star logo and read the energy guide label.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
And there are day to day things you can do.
Speaker 15 (12:08):
Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
air filters clean.

As a family member or friend, you may be the
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

Treatment works, recovery is possible on a need.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
To know basis, because you need to know the first
thing today.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Come on, now, come on, really, get in. Where are
you aheaded to.
Speaker 13 (13:35):
Speak?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You never see the movie Enemy of the States, and
there's a moment in it when Will Smith realizes things
have gone caddy wampus, when he's trying to get a
hotel room and all of his credit cards are declined.
I'm fancifully imagining a lot of that going on over
the Texas legislators this morning while we break down the
(14:04):
news for you, I'd love to hear how it's impacting you.
I also want to get into yet another one of
these con jobs on the HOV lanes, so six different
news outlets in the Long Island area. Traffic's going to
get worse on the lie. First off, is that humanly possible.
(14:26):
The Long Island Expressway was obsolete to the population it
was serving before it opened. That is the interstate that
runs out on Long Island, if you don't know. And
as they built it, people moved out to Long Island
until there were more people living on Long Island than
the highway could serve before it was finished, and it's
(14:49):
been behind ever since. So the silly headline Long Island
traffic is gonna get worse. That's like saying the rain
in Oregon is going to get worse. And we want
to get into this because you know these green scam
(15:10):
high occupancy vehicle passes for electric vehicles, which again not
it belies the whole point of a high occupancy vehicle.
If you pay some money you can drive in it
by yourself, then it must not be because of the
number of vehicles on the road. But we can get
(15:31):
into there in a little bit. But I want to
finish up on the runaway delegates to the Texas General Assembly.
So Ken Paxton, the Attorney General, who I'm not sure
because Ken Paxton has had some fits and starts as
to governor run form or whatever. Ken may have just said,
(15:51):
you know what, if this is the apex of my
political career, dang ganmet and there are people who have
political careers in their mind. I'm going to be a
US Senator, I'm going to be a congressman, lobbyist, or
maybe all of the above and retire a multi billionaire
from it is e Pelosi. But Ken Paxton seems to
(16:16):
right now have decided, you know what, this is my
Alamo pun intended. Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against
the Democrats. His statement, I filed a historic lawsuit against
Democrat runaways in the Texas Supreme Court to secure an
(16:36):
order declaring their seats vacant. These cowards deliberately sabotage the
constitutional process. They're out of state. Rebellion cannot go unchecked,
and the business of Texas must go on. So herein
is an interesting case study. Boys and girls, and how
(16:56):
the sausage is made. First you have to slaughter some pigs,
just saying. So the Texas Democrats, realizing taking a nose,
count that they needed a way to get something, anything
(17:17):
done for themselves, or at least to stop a lot
of conservative policies. So their threat has always been, well,
we'll just leave, and then you won't as long as
there's enough Democrats in the caucus. Writ large, to reach
(17:38):
one hundred, you have to have at least one hundred
members of the Texas General Assembly present to convene business.
It's called quorum, and states all the states have different
rules as to what quorum is. But in Texas they said, okay,
you can have that. You can have that ability to
(18:00):
delay quorum by not being present. However, having seen what
they did I think it was twenty two or twenty
one where they held up things for months or they
are all in Minnesota finding out what cold actually feels like,
they said it fine, there will be a limit if
(18:23):
you're absent from your seat. And this was controversial when
they passed it because it was maternity, so they had
to put in a maternity proviso and things like that.
But if you miss seven consecutive sessions of the General Assembly.
Your seat can therefore be declared vacant. And this is
what Paxton has filed into court. And many of you
(18:51):
sitting listening to the radio programmer thinking, hold it, a
Republican actually did that? Yeah, how a Republican actually did that?
It seems so out of character, doesn't it. But then
the judge then a follow up, because we told you
(19:11):
earlier in the week, if you get the week long program,
the weekday program, we told you, I think on Thursday
morning that a political action committee headed by Robert Francis O'Rourke,
former congressman and presidential candidate, called Powered by People, which
means the people give him money and then he uses
(19:32):
that as power to pay all the hotel bills and
the meals and all that for these people. These people
must give Robert Francis O'Rourke a lot of money. And
they said some of the money was coming from Alex
Soros and the rest of the Soros group. And if
(19:52):
you wonder for a second, quick tangent, if you wonder
why it seems like the democratic part the extremism has
been a little bit edgier over the last year or two.
Go look up the day that Alex Soros took over
the Open Society operations from his pop and George warned us.
(20:19):
George warned us as he exited the Open Society that
his son Alex is a true believer. Alex is an activist,
George's I don't know, agent, provocateur, pain in the arts, communist,
whatever it might be, you want to name him. He
warned us as he walked out of the door. That
his son Alex is an activist. Alex himself said as
(20:43):
he posed with Virginia Senator Tim Kine on his website
under the caption I love this guy, Alex himself said,
I'm going to use the Open as a weapon. And
since then, more and more things like all these Texas
Democrats taking extreme measures. But a judge has stopped the
(21:10):
flow of money, saying that the monies that were given
to powered by people were given if this is the
case under unlawful fundraising practices, they are making political contributions
that are used to fund personal expenses that violate the
state law. And I just wanted to bring these couple
(21:31):
of stories up because these fly in the face and
I know there's a lot of naval gazing and teeth
gnashing over some of the Republicans in the Republican State
House in the Texas State House. But maybe with the
behaviors of these judges and Ken Paxton, these Republicans will
stop acting like democrats and red neckties, because in many
(21:57):
cases that's what they are.

Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
is not just due to the octane rating. There are
(23:31):
better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too.
The vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
your fuel choices around, say every third tank full, you
may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
(23:53):
Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them
anytime soon. With your automotive prescription. I'm ronin any in

Here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
On a weekly basis, sports director Mac McDonald will share
with us his insights after decades of covering football, baseball, basketball,
tittley wings, you name it. But this week he went
too far and this is a parable kids, and be
careful what you ask for, you might get it. Much
(28:40):
of the Internet, social media, because social media is for
the most part middle school, have been fixated on videos
of Women's National Basketball Association players being hit as they
walk off the course, shorts of the WNBA with let's
(29:05):
just call them vibrators, and the Internet, because it's middle school,
has had any number of theories as to why somebody
in the stands would risk never being able to go
to another WNBA game for the risk of throwing a
(29:26):
vibrator into the face and then giving you know, great pause.
I mean, these could, injure, you could. This is the
this is my brain in my head saying don't say it.
Don't just don't say it. Don't don't. You don't have
to say you could put an eye out with one
of those. But oh well, now I have. But Mac mac,
(29:47):
our sports director, brought to you by the Lunch Pail Foundation,
till they hear this said, no, I need to know
more about what's going on here.
Speaker 21 (29:57):
I told you that I would look into the interleague
play for the teams that are probably going to be
in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yeah, and was it.
Speaker 21 (30:03):
And what I found out is that most of the
teams just have one interleague series, not two. A couple
of a couple of teams have two series, like Boston
plays Arizona. Toronto's got Cincinnati early in September. The Yankees
have seven games with Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Down the stretch.
Speaker 21 (30:21):
But but they play, they don't. Yeah, the Yankees didn't
really have an interleague partner. The Tigers have Miami in
Atlanta at home.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Well, it's because they played the Mets, like the Yankees
played the Mets like six times in the first month
of the season.
Speaker 21 (30:38):
But in September, it's not really Your Mets have a
ten game road trip uh September first through the eleventh.
Now the Mets will play at Detroit as well, so
they have a couple. My My whole philosophy to this
thing is interleague play. You just stop, you know, July
fourth weekend, have a have a week maybe after the
(31:00):
All Star break, and then cut it off.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
That's just my plan.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Okay.
Speaker 21 (31:05):
If you're curious about the green sex toys that are being.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Tossed again with the greens, this is two segments in
a row with the green set up. I deep dived.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
It's it's a cryptocurrency.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
No it isn't.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Oh now, yes, green green. It's called green dildo Coin.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
No, it's not. It is.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
I can't make it up.
Speaker 21 (31:30):
And the identities of those the people have been interviewed
and told USA and Yahoo Sports.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
They said, we needed to find a way. It's nothing
against the WNBA.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
We needed to find.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
A way to launch our website.
Speaker 21 (31:44):
Oh my god, launch this cryptocurrency and get the word out.
You got cryptocurrency has officially jumped the Shark boys and
girls exactly. Green dildo Coin launched its account on July
twenty eighth. That's a parent founder uses the name Lieutenant
Daldo Rain, who, if you remember, moves the fifteen minute
(32:05):
speech by Brad Pitt's character in Tarantino's movie and glorious bastards. Right,
So it's a bitcoin that I just looked at another
bitcoin website and it's trading.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
And you have a chance to invest in green delta coin.
You can make them all right if if that's not
crazy enough.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
And he kept going, and he kept going, so I
had to verify because you just can't just say stuff
like that. And there's this bitcoin actually exists and it
trades on the bitcoin currencies currently, just out of your
own curiosity, because now I know you're asking, you would
(32:45):
have to spend eight billion of these green sex toy
bitcoins of a cryptocurrency to buy one bitcoin it's zero
to the eighth degree point thirty four point zero to
(33:07):
the eighth degree thirty four percents thirty four bit sense
or whatever it is you would have to spend upwards
of You would have to collect eight billion of these things.
And who has room for that anyway? But mac, I
appreciate NFL season getting underway. Now hold it, yep, just
(33:29):
got a word that rookie running back for the New
Orleans Patriots just scored again on the Washington Commanders there
as he took the opening kickoff, decided, you know what,
all this tackling that's happening to me in practice is
no fun. I'm just going to make a lot of
people whiff and ran all the way back one hundred
and one yards with the opening kickoff, and the route
(33:51):
was on there is. And to be fair, a lot
of my friends who are Commanders fans are salty about
this because a lot of the New England starters were playing.
I said, well, first off, it was the moment that
they unveiled the statue to Tom Brady outside of their stadium.
(34:12):
I don't believe they had Tom Brady there. And it
was a four and twelve season last year. It doesn't count.
It's not going to keep you out of the playoffs. Playoffs.
(34:32):
Let the New England Patriots have their fun. It's been
a long time, and especially as they watched Bill Belichick
and his twenty one year old girlfriend flounce about the
campus of the University of North Carolina. And by the way,
I don't know how much cryptocurrency you bet on Bill
Belichick not making it to the opening of the collegiate
(34:53):
football season, but kickoffs for those games in about two
three weeks now three weeks a little less, and Bill
Belichick is still listed as the head football coach at
the University of North Carolina. So there's your sports update
for that. As the Major League, as Mac talked about
(35:14):
the Major League Baseball curmudgeonally saying he doesn't like interleague
play at this point. At this point, I think all
teams should have to play at least one game against
the Savannah Bananas in order to qualify for the Major
League Baseball postseason. I mean curious. Just and Mack and
I talked about this during the weekly program as well.
(35:37):
And if you've ever seen the videos, they're all over
social media. Savannah Bananas. They dance right up until somebody
throws a pitch. They dance on the bases, they have
all sorts of weird things going on. They score by thirds,
So the first three innings is a game, then the
next three innings is a game, and if neither team
has won both of them, then they play the final
(35:58):
three innings. It's interesting it they're outdrawing the Major League
Baseball teams. Now. Granted, they're only in town for maybe
one or two or three dates, depending on how long
they're booked, but there is an awful lot of interest
(36:20):
in this sporting event. Whether you call it baseball or not.
This is the same thing that basketball purists say, Well,
the Harlem Globetrotters aren't basketball either, give it. You paid
to go see them, which is at the end of
the day, what entertainment is about. So I'll be curious
to see is the next year unfolds in the winter
(36:42):
meetings if any of the things that I'm not expecting
Major League Baseball to change into scoring by thirds. All right,
you get a point if you win the first three innings,
and then we reset and we play the next three innings,
and then you get a point and then make it
almost like an NHL system where you know, you get
up each get a point if you end the game
(37:04):
in a tie, and then the extra point is up
if you know you win in overtime. That kind of stuff.
It'll keep more teams into the playhoff Hunt. Okay, so
your starter, you know, threw up on his shoes and
gave up eight runs in the first inning, says the
Washington Nationals fan, because that never happens to me. Well,
it hasn't happened to be yet today, but it's happened
(37:27):
to be pretty much every day this week. But you
have a chance in the middle innings to come back right?
What would you have you ever watched? Have you gone
to a Savannah Bananas game? I know they had some
big turnout on Long Island. Didn't they play where the
Ducks play? Had some big crowds there. No, No, I
don't think they're gonna let him in the Yankees. They
(37:49):
let him in Fenway Park, all the more reason for
why they wouldn't let him in the Yankee Stadium. I
don't think, but maybe we should have the Savannah of
Bananas decide who the World Series champion is.
Speaker 22 (38:01):
Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
the police.
Speaker 23 (38:11):

Exercise is hard, so is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
(41:21):
Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

The First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
Media Network.

Speaker 15 (44:21):
Go so so.

Head Home super vehicles, Damn this study.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
Damn.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
The proximity of my childhood to the Long Island Expressway
is part and parcel of why I think about things
the way I do. And if there are flashpoint moments
in a childhood, you know when Tom Hanks plays me
in My life story once they turned my unauthorized autobiography
(44:49):
into a film. Uh, one of those moments is when
I realized that the Long Island Expressway was obsolete for
the population of Long Island and before it was ever finished,
and it still continues to be. And I lived through
that era where they kept trying to add lanes and
(45:10):
they could only add lanes so far until they got
to a point where they couldn't. So all they did
was just make a much more profound choke point. But
it's it's way down there. It's it's in Nassau County.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
We don't care.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
It's in Nassau. Who cares it's down there? By this
the s ob the story's swirling because now at the
end of the month, more of these lies. Ah see
l I E. Lies. The express h O V lanes
(45:53):
are going to no longer have all the electric vehicles
in them with one person. And here's where the lie
of all these HOV lanes are. So the initial premise
of the high occupancy vehicle lane was what car pooling? Right,
(46:14):
So you car pool and that takes three other cars
off the road. So you ostensibly, and I remember the
public service messages, Hi, I'm New York City Traffic Commissioner
Tony Gotchabaloni and blah blah blah, and they would they
would sell the idea that if you took three cars
(46:34):
off the road for every car that remained on the road,
and the math and they would do graphics and oh,
look at how much lighter the traffic is. So we
make one lane that's just for those cars full of people,
and we would save on emissions and traffic would be lighter,
and you know, rainbows, the unicorn would come back, and
(46:56):
all of these things would happen. And then somebody in
the New York Department of Transportation and the Virginia Department
of Transportation and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and the
California Department of Transportation realized what if we charge people
(47:19):
to go in the hov lanes? Ah, so then hoping
that you didn't catch on that if the premise of
the lane is to get individual car drivers off the
road in exchange for car pools, but if you pay
us a little, you can be a solo proprietor of
(47:39):
your car. Then it really wasn't about all that other
stuff you made us think it was. And this green
past stuff that's about to expire because of the Trump
administration on Long Island is just more of this. The
traffic is going to be so horrible because the fifty
thousand electric vehicles on Long Island that have signed up
(48:02):
for the clean Pass, well, there's still an individual, single
person driving their Tesla or their I don't know which
ones qualified as a preist qualify if it's just a hybrid,
I guess at some point the debate must be had
full on electric like the cars made by the guy
that gave fifty thousand dollars to Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger,
(48:28):
even though he's a Chai coom apparently a Chinese citizen. No,
there's nothing wrong with that. Let's ask George Santos. He's
got nothing to do for a while. So the lie
of the lie continues. Oh, but these high occupants of
vehicle lanes, Well, why can't you carpool in your tesla?
(48:53):
If cleaning up the environment is such an important deal
to you get three of your friends to squeeze into
your tesla. I mean, I've been in a tesla. They
probably need to be in pretty good physical condition, because
a chunky person is not going to fit well in
(49:13):
the back with another chunky person. Huh, we don't use
that phrase anymore. When when did we stop using the
phrase chunky? Can I use rubenesque? I don't all of
a sudden everyone's paranoid because we're on on Long Island,
(49:35):
And oh, be careful, don't say chunky. No, that offend
people in mastic. Don't tell me why I can't say
chunky anymore. Oh, it's it's image shaming. Look at this
face and tell me I care about image shaming. My gosh.
(49:58):
So the lie again is that these electric vehicles were
getting a hall pass. They were allowed to drive in
the high occupancy vehicle lane even though they had no
high occupancy. But they bought the right kind of virtue
signal to get back to the days where the only
(50:19):
signals that get left on are the right turn signals
on Route twenty four in the Hampton's police. But it's
not just Long Island, it's every place that does these
high occupancy vehicles and they all but we're going to
do these great things, and all of this stuff is
(50:44):
they're lying to you. So I guess there's some irony
to the acronym L I E. Anyway, Meanwhile, more lies
being told by people behind podiums, as if somehow this
protects you. Assembly Bill four ninety five in California, zeroing
(51:11):
in on parents' rights, any stranger can download an online
form and declare themselves a guardian of a child who
may be in the public school system or even in
a daycare center or a summer camp. AB four ninety five.
(51:43):
The premise of it is to make it easier for
children of non citizens to be taken care of in
the event their parents are detained or deported. So here,
one left wing do gooder is now going to make
it worse for the other left wing do gooders. And
I didn't think we had a problem with this, but oh,
(52:04):
apparently so the California General Assembly wants to make it
easier for somebody to come in and take care of
the children of non citizens when they're being deported back
to their home country. Why can't the parents of the
non citizens? This is what I don't understand. But California
wants to keep the kids. So all you have to
(52:27):
do is download a form, fill it out, and declare
yourself the guardian of one of these illegal children. So
how is this border crisis now not a true child
trafficking problem? If Californias are just going to let you
download a form and take some kid from an illegal.
Speaker 3 (52:51):
You know it's true.
Speaker 25 (52:52):
Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
to think about what matters most when it comes to
our spending our health care. This is why so many
people are joining meta share right now. Metashare is a
trusted way to save up to fifty percent on your
monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred thousand people have
already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why too, especially
(53:14):
now during this challenging season with health care costs and
out of pocket expenses going up. Metas Share can save
you a lot of money. The typical family saves five
hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 24 (53:24):
Meda Share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
other's bills. There are different options to choose from to
fit your budget. I'll give you the number here in
a second, and if you call, you can get a
price within two minutes. Maybe now it is the perfect
time to make the switch and start saving.
Speaker 6 (53:42):
Here you go call eight five five share forty.
Speaker 24 (53:45):
That's eight five five share forty, eight five five share
forty
We'll do it a lot.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Joe, thank you for letting us be of service to
you this morning.
Speaker 7 (00:39):
I want to be.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Here hold these truths. Four three four eight eight two
four two one seven. That is the phone number, because
we'll tell you the news certainly, and then we will
break down the news for you from where we said.
But mostly I want to hear how the news is
impacting you where you are, because that's going to be unique.
(01:02):
No matter where you are, whatever you're doing, Butcher, Baker,
candlestick maker, it is going to have a different impact
on you. And just I wanted to play this club.
I don't know if the moon was full or if
Jim Lovell waited for the moon to be full or
not he's considered.
Speaker 8 (01:22):
I know that I'm one of the luckiest men in
the world to be here on earth again, to have
enjoyed a career in the nation's great space program, and
then and then to be played on a big screen
by Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Swing that's from the American Film Institute, And if you ever,
if you watch that when you're fetting Tom Hanks, he
was truly surprised by the by this presentation. He didn't
expect Jim Lovell to come out and make a speech
or anything else. The Apollo, the actual Apollo thirteen commander
(02:01):
who Hanks played. And to be fair, how many of
your friends, how many of your friends, be honest with me,
now are living their lives with just a little bit
of an idea that maybe, just maybe Tom Hanks might
play them in there in the retelling of somebody's life story.
It doesn't even have to be your life story. It
(02:23):
can be somebody else's life story, just as long as
Tom Hanks gets to play you, even if it's just
a walk on. And for our friends, and I don't
know if they're tuned in for the Saturday edition of
the mission, but our friends kfar in Fairbanks, it's going
to be a busy week for you, guys. Better rest
(02:43):
up this weekend. Much going on in Alaska this weekend,
our friends on Long Island News Radio oneh three point nine.
Is so great to be back on WRCN for the
first time since nineteen ninety four. They have had me
back for the second weekend, So that must say something.
But just a life of duty, and so many of
(03:08):
us fall prey to this where you know, we are
so insistent on, you know, the way things going on,
that when something goes pear shaped, what do you do?
What do you do when everything goes wrong? And this
is sort of the story of Apollo thirteen, and having
been born on a Friday the thirteenth, I find there's
(03:29):
some appropriateness to it as well, and we appreciate that.
But our first things on this Saturday morning peace in
the Caucuses, and I don't mean the political Caucuses, as
the President held a profound meeting in the White House
yesterday to announce a peace deal thirty five years in
(03:54):
the making in between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The two countries
in the Caucus region will have signed an agreement to
create a transit conorder that will reconnect iSER Baijan with
its Nakajeevian enclave, which has been separated by Armenian territory
(04:16):
for thirty five years and has been the flash point,
much like the Kashmir region in between Pakistan and India
have been a flash point four years. Meanwhile, territories might
be on the discussion point in Alaska. This week, President
Trump and the Kremlin of both confirmed that there will
be a summit meeting in Alaska on August fifteenth between
(04:40):
President Trump and President Putin. At least, the President said
through truth Social that even President Zelenski is close to
a ceasefire deal to end the three and a half
year old war. However, the President said in the Oval
Office yesterday quote, there'll be some swapping of territories to
(05:03):
the betterment of both. Putin officials say that the region
called the Donbass is what they're speaking of, and that
they have told Steve Whitkoff that that's what they want
is they want that to be part of Russia, not
part of Ukraine. Contenders to be Jerome Powell's replacement, should
(05:25):
that ever become necessary, are becoming listed. There's apparently ten finalists,
including former economic advisor to George W. Bush, Mark Summerlin,
and former Saint Louis fed presidents James Bullard, Federal Appeals
Court Friday shut down Judge James Bosberg's attempt to pursue
(05:48):
criminal contempt charges against figures in the Trump administration at
two to one ruling. The US Circuit Court of Appeals
for DC said that Bosberg's orders were overly ambiguous and
left too much room for interpretation. The Pennel also found
that Bosberg's attempt to hold administration officials in contempt for
failing to follow an order that was later overturned by
(06:10):
the Supreme Court is unprece attended. A police officer in
Atlanto is dead this morning, and so is his assailant.
And a shooting that happened outside the campuses of the
US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention yesterday afternoon. And
those are our first things this Saturday morning. At Fishburne
(06:35):

Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas, yes,
actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
(07:27):
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric oxide,
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

one of the few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products
(08:11):
on the market. I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic
diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems to be a
perfect addition to any nutritional program. It makes sense to
me that preventing or reducing inflammation is a key component
to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic found that Kurcumin
(08:34):
can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties, and research
suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer or at least slow
the spread of cancer, and in many instances, make chemotherapy
more effective. It protects our healthy cells even from radiation.

Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah.
Speaker 10 (10:00):
It's always a boy growing up on a farm in Tennessee,
I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only in alle
of their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
(10:20):
jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
they also perform life saving work every day.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Dogs keep us safe at airports.
Speaker 10 (10:36):
They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
in need. So please join me an American humane and
supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
on this planet we inhabit. Together, go to American Humane

Bruh, that's buzzed.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
Speaker 10 (11:05):
And now a speech.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
heart and brain.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Who's with me?
Speaker 12 (11:13):
Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
brain is saying when it's time to go home.
Speaker 13 (11:18):
Somebody call me a ride.
Speaker 11 (11:19):
Love that guy, me too.
Speaker 14 (11:21):
Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
it's time to go home.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Buzz driving is drunk driving.
Speaker 15 (11:28):
Did you know that more than half our household energy
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
(11:49):
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
leaks around windows and doors, check ducts for holes, and
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs when
you shop for a new appliance, look for the energy
Star logo and read the energy guide label.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
And there are day to day things you can do.
Speaker 15 (12:08):
Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
air filters clean.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
To know basis, because you need to know the first
thing today.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Come on, now, come on, really, get in. Where are
you aheaded to.
Speaker 13 (13:35):
Speak?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You never see the movie Enemy of the States, and
there's a moment in it when Will Smith realizes things
have gone caddy wampus, when he's trying to get a
hotel room and all of his credit cards are declined.
I'm fancifully imagining a lot of that going on over
the Texas legislators this morning while we break down the
(14:04):
news for you, I'd love to hear how it's impacting you.
I also want to get into yet another one of
these con jobs on the HOV lanes, so six different
news outlets in the Long Island area. Traffic's going to
get worse on the lie. First off, is that humanly possible.
(14:26):
The Long Island Expressway was obsolete to the population it
was serving before it opened. That is the interstate that
runs out on Long Island, if you don't know. And
as they built it, people moved out to Long Island
until there were more people living on Long Island than
the highway could serve before it was finished, and it's
(14:49):
been behind ever since. So the silly headline Long Island
traffic is gonna get worse. That's like saying the rain
in Oregon is going to get worse. And we want
to get into this because you know these green scam
(15:10):
high occupancy vehicle passes for electric vehicles, which again not
it belies the whole point of a high occupancy vehicle.
If you pay some money you can drive in it
by yourself, then it must not be because of the
number of vehicles on the road. But we can get
(15:31):
into there in a little bit. But I want to
finish up on the runaway delegates to the Texas General Assembly.
So Ken Paxton, the Attorney General, who I'm not sure
because Ken Paxton has had some fits and starts as
to governor run form or whatever. Ken may have just said,
(15:51):
you know what, if this is the apex of my
political career, dang ganmet and there are people who have
political careers in their mind. I'm going to be a
US Senator, I'm going to be a congressman, lobbyist, or
maybe all of the above and retire a multi billionaire
from it is e Pelosi. But Ken Paxton seems to
(16:16):
right now have decided, you know what, this is my
Alamo pun intended. Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against
the Democrats. His statement, I filed a historic lawsuit against
Democrat runaways in the Texas Supreme Court to secure an
(16:36):
order declaring their seats vacant. These cowards deliberately sabotage the
constitutional process. They're out of state. Rebellion cannot go unchecked,
and the business of Texas must go on. So herein
is an interesting case study. Boys and girls, and how
(16:56):
the sausage is made. First you have to slaughter some pigs,
just saying. So the Texas Democrats, realizing taking a nose,
count that they needed a way to get something, anything
(17:17):
done for themselves, or at least to stop a lot
of conservative policies. So their threat has always been, well,
we'll just leave, and then you won't as long as
there's enough Democrats in the caucus. Writ large, to reach
(17:38):
one hundred, you have to have at least one hundred
members of the Texas General Assembly present to convene business.
It's called quorum, and states all the states have different
rules as to what quorum is. But in Texas they said, okay,
you can have that. You can have that ability to
(18:00):
delay quorum by not being present. However, having seen what
they did I think it was twenty two or twenty
one where they held up things for months or they
are all in Minnesota finding out what cold actually feels like,
they said it fine, there will be a limit if
(18:23):
you're absent from your seat. And this was controversial when
they passed it because it was maternity, so they had
to put in a maternity proviso and things like that.
But if you miss seven consecutive sessions of the General Assembly.
Your seat can therefore be declared vacant. And this is
what Paxton has filed into court. And many of you
(18:51):
sitting listening to the radio programmer thinking, hold it, a
Republican actually did that? Yeah, how a Republican actually did that?
It seems so out of character, doesn't it. But then
the judge then a follow up, because we told you
(19:11):
earlier in the week, if you get the week long program,
the weekday program, we told you, I think on Thursday
morning that a political action committee headed by Robert Francis O'Rourke,
former congressman and presidential candidate, called Powered by People, which
means the people give him money and then he uses
(19:32):
that as power to pay all the hotel bills and
the meals and all that for these people. These people
must give Robert Francis O'Rourke a lot of money. And
they said some of the money was coming from Alex
Soros and the rest of the Soros group. And if
(19:52):
you wonder for a second, quick tangent, if you wonder
why it seems like the democratic part the extremism has
been a little bit edgier over the last year or two.
Go look up the day that Alex Soros took over
the Open Society operations from his pop and George warned us.
(20:19):
George warned us as he exited the Open Society that
his son Alex is a true believer. Alex is an activist,
George's I don't know, agent, provocateur, pain in the arts, communist,
whatever it might be, you want to name him. He
warned us as he walked out of the door. That
his son Alex is an activist. Alex himself said as
(20:43):
he posed with Virginia Senator Tim Kine on his website
under the caption I love this guy, Alex himself said,
I'm going to use the Open as a weapon. And
since then, more and more things like all these Texas
Democrats taking extreme measures. But a judge has stopped the
(21:10):
flow of money, saying that the monies that were given
to powered by people were given if this is the
case under unlawful fundraising practices, they are making political contributions
that are used to fund personal expenses that violate the
state law. And I just wanted to bring these couple
(21:31):
of stories up because these fly in the face and
I know there's a lot of naval gazing and teeth
gnashing over some of the Republicans in the Republican State
House in the Texas State House. But maybe with the
behaviors of these judges and Ken Paxton, these Republicans will
stop acting like democrats and red neckties, because in many
(21:57):
cases that's what they are.

Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
is not just due to the octane rating. There are
(23:31):
better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too.
The vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
your fuel choices around, say every third tank full, you
may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
(23:53):

anytime soon. With your automotive prescription. I'm ronin any in

Considered by most. Optimized curcumin is one of the few
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
(24:26):
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
(24:50):
healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

Here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
On a weekly basis, sports director Mac McDonald will share
with us his insights after decades of covering football, baseball, basketball,
tittley wings, you name it. But this week he went
too far and this is a parable kids, and be
careful what you ask for, you might get it. Much
(28:40):
of the Internet, social media, because social media is for
the most part middle school, have been fixated on videos
of Women's National Basketball Association players being hit as they
walk off the course, shorts of the WNBA with let's
(29:05):
just call them vibrators, and the Internet, because it's middle school,
has had any number of theories as to why somebody
in the stands would risk never being able to go
to another WNBA game for the risk of throwing a
(29:26):
vibrator into the face and then giving you know, great pause.
I mean, these could, injure, you could. This is the
this is my brain in my head saying don't say it.
Don't just don't say it. Don't don't. You don't have
to say you could put an eye out with one
of those. But oh well, now I have. But Mac mac,
(29:47):
our sports director, brought to you by the Lunch Pail Foundation,
till they hear this said, no, I need to know
more about what's going on here.
Speaker 21 (29:57):
I told you that I would look into the interleague
play for the teams that are probably going to be
in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yeah, and was it.
Speaker 21 (30:03):
And what I found out is that most of the
teams just have one interleague series, not two. A couple
of a couple of teams have two series, like Boston
plays Arizona. Toronto's got Cincinnati early in September. The Yankees
have seven games with Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Down the stretch.
Speaker 21 (30:21):
But but they play, they don't. Yeah, the Yankees didn't
really have an interleague partner. The Tigers have Miami in
Atlanta at home.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Well, it's because they played the Mets, like the Yankees
played the Mets like six times in the first month
of the season.
Speaker 21 (30:38):
But in September, it's not really Your Mets have a
ten game road trip uh September first through the eleventh.
Now the Mets will play at Detroit as well, so
they have a couple. My My whole philosophy to this
thing is interleague play. You just stop, you know, July
fourth weekend, have a have a week maybe after the
(31:00):
All Star break, and then cut it off.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
That's just my plan.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Okay.
Speaker 21 (31:05):
If you're curious about the green sex toys that are being.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Tossed again with the greens, this is two segments in
a row with the green set up. I deep dived.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
It's it's a cryptocurrency.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
No it isn't.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Oh now, yes, green green. It's called green dildo Coin.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
No, it's not. It is.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
I can't make it up.
Speaker 21 (31:30):
And the identities of those the people have been interviewed
and told USA and Yahoo Sports.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
They said, we needed to find a way. It's nothing
against the WNBA.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
We needed to find.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
A way to launch our website.
Speaker 21 (31:44):
Oh my god, launch this cryptocurrency and get the word out.
You got cryptocurrency has officially jumped the Shark boys and
girls exactly. Green dildo Coin launched its account on July
twenty eighth. That's a parent founder uses the name Lieutenant
Daldo Rain, who, if you remember, moves the fifteen minute
(32:05):
speech by Brad Pitt's character in Tarantino's movie and glorious bastards. Right,
So it's a bitcoin that I just looked at another
bitcoin website and it's trading.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
And you have a chance to invest in green delta coin.
You can make them all right if if that's not
crazy enough.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
And he kept going, and he kept going, so I
had to verify because you just can't just say stuff
like that. And there's this bitcoin actually exists and it
trades on the bitcoin currencies currently, just out of your
own curiosity, because now I know you're asking, you would
(32:45):
have to spend eight billion of these green sex toy
bitcoins of a cryptocurrency to buy one bitcoin it's zero
to the eighth degree point thirty four point zero to
(33:07):
the eighth degree thirty four percents thirty four bit sense
or whatever it is you would have to spend upwards
of You would have to collect eight billion of these things.
And who has room for that anyway? But mac, I
appreciate NFL season getting underway. Now hold it, yep, just
(33:29):
got a word that rookie running back for the New
Orleans Patriots just scored again on the Washington Commanders there
as he took the opening kickoff, decided, you know what,
all this tackling that's happening to me in practice is
no fun. I'm just going to make a lot of
people whiff and ran all the way back one hundred
and one yards with the opening kickoff, and the route
(33:51):
was on there is. And to be fair, a lot
of my friends who are Commanders fans are salty about
this because a lot of the New England starters were playing.
I said, well, first off, it was the moment that
they unveiled the statue to Tom Brady outside of their stadium.
(34:12):
I don't believe they had Tom Brady there. And it
was a four and twelve season last year. It doesn't count.
It's not going to keep you out of the playoffs. Playoffs.
(34:32):
Let the New England Patriots have their fun. It's been
a long time, and especially as they watched Bill Belichick
and his twenty one year old girlfriend flounce about the
campus of the University of North Carolina. And by the way,
I don't know how much cryptocurrency you bet on Bill
Belichick not making it to the opening of the collegiate
(34:53):
football season, but kickoffs for those games in about two
three weeks now three weeks a little less, and Bill
Belichick is still listed as the head football coach at
the University of North Carolina. So there's your sports update
for that. As the Major League, as Mac talked about
(35:14):
the Major League Baseball curmudgeonally saying he doesn't like interleague
play at this point. At this point, I think all
teams should have to play at least one game against
the Savannah Bananas in order to qualify for the Major
League Baseball postseason. I mean curious. Just and Mack and
I talked about this during the weekly program as well.
(35:37):
And if you've ever seen the videos, they're all over
social media. Savannah Bananas. They dance right up until somebody
throws a pitch. They dance on the bases, they have
all sorts of weird things going on. They score by thirds,
So the first three innings is a game, then the
next three innings is a game, and if neither team
has won both of them, then they play the final
(35:58):
three innings. It's interesting it they're outdrawing the Major League
Baseball teams. Now. Granted, they're only in town for maybe
one or two or three dates, depending on how long
they're booked, but there is an awful lot of interest
(36:20):
in this sporting event. Whether you call it baseball or not.
This is the same thing that basketball purists say, Well,
the Harlem Globetrotters aren't basketball either, give it. You paid
to go see them, which is at the end of
the day, what entertainment is about. So I'll be curious
to see is the next year unfolds in the winter
(36:42):
meetings if any of the things that I'm not expecting
Major League Baseball to change into scoring by thirds. All right,
you get a point if you win the first three innings,
and then we reset and we play the next three innings,
and then you get a point and then make it
almost like an NHL system where you know, you get
up each get a point if you end the game
(37:04):
in a tie, and then the extra point is up
if you know you win in overtime. That kind of stuff.
It'll keep more teams into the playhoff Hunt. Okay, so
your starter, you know, threw up on his shoes and
gave up eight runs in the first inning, says the
Washington Nationals fan, because that never happens to me. Well,
it hasn't happened to be yet today, but it's happened
(37:27):
to be pretty much every day this week. But you
have a chance in the middle innings to come back right?
What would you have you ever watched? Have you gone
to a Savannah Bananas game? I know they had some
big turnout on Long Island. Didn't they play where the
Ducks play? Had some big crowds there. No, No, I
don't think they're gonna let him in the Yankees. They
(37:49):
let him in Fenway Park, all the more reason for
why they wouldn't let him in the Yankee Stadium. I
don't think, but maybe we should have the Savannah of
Bananas decide who the World Series champion is.
Speaker 22 (38:01):
Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
the police.

Exercise is hard, so is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
(41:21):
Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor,
eat better, get moving, Visit check up America dot org,

Speaker 1 (44:29):
The proximity of my childhood to the Long Island Expressway
is part and parcel of why I think about things
the way I do. And if there are flashpoint moments
in a childhood, you know when Tom Hanks plays me
in My life story once they turned my unauthorized autobiography
(44:49):
into a film. Uh, one of those moments is when
I realized that the Long Island Expressway was obsolete for
the population of Long Island and before it was ever finished,
and it still continues to be. And I lived through
that era where they kept trying to add lanes and
(45:10):
they could only add lanes so far until they got
to a point where they couldn't. So all they did
was just make a much more profound choke point. But
it's it's way down there. It's it's in Nassau County.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
We don't care.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
It's in Nassau. Who cares it's down there? By this
the s ob the story's swirling because now at the
end of the month, more of these lies. Ah see
l I E. Lies. The express h O V lanes
(45:53):
are going to no longer have all the electric vehicles
in them with one person. And here's where the lie
of all these HOV lanes are. So the initial premise
of the high occupancy vehicle lane was what car pooling? Right,
(46:14):
So you car pool and that takes three other cars
off the road. So you ostensibly, and I remember the
public service messages, Hi, I'm New York City Traffic Commissioner
Tony Gotchabaloni and blah blah blah, and they would they
would sell the idea that if you took three cars
(46:34):
off the road for every car that remained on the road,
and the math and they would do graphics and oh,
look at how much lighter the traffic is. So we
make one lane that's just for those cars full of people,
and we would save on emissions and traffic would be lighter,
and you know, rainbows, the unicorn would come back, and
(46:56):
all of these things would happen. And then somebody in
the New York Department of Transportation and the Virginia Department
of Transportation and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and the
California Department of Transportation realized what if we charge people
(47:19):
to go in the hov lanes? Ah, so then hoping
that you didn't catch on that if the premise of
the lane is to get individual car drivers off the
road in exchange for car pools, but if you pay
us a little, you can be a solo proprietor of
(47:39):
your car. Then it really wasn't about all that other
stuff you made us think it was. And this green
past stuff that's about to expire because of the Trump
administration on Long Island is just more of this. The
traffic is going to be so horrible because the fifty
thousand electric vehicles on Long Island that have signed up
(48:02):
for the clean Pass, well, there's still an individual, single
person driving their Tesla or their I don't know which
ones qualified as a preist qualify if it's just a hybrid,
I guess at some point the debate must be had
full on electric like the cars made by the guy
that gave fifty thousand dollars to Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger,
(48:28):
even though he's a Chai coom apparently a Chinese citizen. No,
there's nothing wrong with that. Let's ask George Santos. He's
got nothing to do for a while. So the lie
of the lie continues. Oh, but these high occupants of
vehicle lanes, Well, why can't you carpool in your tesla?
(48:53):
If cleaning up the environment is such an important deal
to you get three of your friends to squeeze into
your tesla. I mean, I've been in a tesla. They
probably need to be in pretty good physical condition, because
a chunky person is not going to fit well in
(49:13):
the back with another chunky person. Huh, we don't use
that phrase anymore. When when did we stop using the
phrase chunky? Can I use rubenesque? I don't all of
a sudden everyone's paranoid because we're on on Long Island,
(49:35):
And oh, be careful, don't say chunky. No, that offend
people in mastic. Don't tell me why I can't say
chunky anymore. Oh, it's it's image shaming. Look at this
face and tell me I care about image shaming. My gosh.
(49:58):
So the lie again is that these electric vehicles were
getting a hall pass. They were allowed to drive in
the high occupancy vehicle lane even though they had no
high occupancy. But they bought the right kind of virtue
signal to get back to the days where the only
(50:19):
signals that get left on are the right turn signals
on Route twenty four in the Hampton's police. But it's
not just Long Island, it's every place that does these
high occupancy vehicles and they all but we're going to
do these great things, and all of this stuff is
(50:44):
they're lying to you. So I guess there's some irony
to the acronym L I E. Anyway, Meanwhile, more lies
being told by people behind podiums, as if somehow this
protects you. Assembly Bill four ninety five in California, zeroing
(51:11):
in on parents' rights, any stranger can download an online
form and declare themselves a guardian of a child who
may be in the public school system or even in
a daycare center or a summer camp. AB four ninety five.
(51:43):
The premise of it is to make it easier for
children of non citizens to be taken care of in
the event their parents are detained or deported. So here,
one left wing do gooder is now going to make
it worse for the other left wing do gooders. And
I didn't think we had a problem with this, but oh,
(52:04):
apparently so the California General Assembly wants to make it
easier for somebody to come in and take care of
the children of non citizens when they're being deported back
to their home country. Why can't the parents of the
non citizens? This is what I don't understand. But California
wants to keep the kids. So all you have to
(52:27):
do is download a form, fill it out, and declare
yourself the guardian of one of these illegal children. So
how is this border crisis now not a true child
trafficking problem? If Californias are just going to let you
download a form and take some kid from an illegal.
Speaker 3 (52:51):
You know it's true.
Speaker 25 (52:52):
Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
to think about what matters most when it comes to
our spending our health care. This is why so many
people are joining meta share right now. Metashare is a
trusted way to save up to fifty percent on your
monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred thousand people have
already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why too, especially
(53:14):
now during this challenging season with health care costs and
out of pocket expenses going up. Metas Share can save
you a lot of money. The typical family saves five
hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 24 (53:24):
Meda Share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
other's bills. There are different options to choose from to
fit your budget. I'll give you the number here in
a second, and if you call, you can get a
price within two minutes. Maybe now it is the perfect
time to make the switch and start saving.
Speaker 6 (53:42):
Here you go call eight five five share forty.
Speaker 24 (53:45):
That's eight five five share forty, eight five five share
