Speaker 1 (00:14):
Some of the old saw we used to sing as kids, Rain, Rain,
go away, come back some other day. Boy, a lot
of people must be humming that tomb to themselves. Hey, everybody,
Kate the lady here on ATM the Characuitie Board of
talk radio. It was a nasty one in the northeast.
Think about this, and some of you know what this
is like because you've experienced it in other parts of
(00:37):
the country. Just picture this for a second. You're out
doing your errands. Hey, it's going to be a rainy day.
You actually have an umbrella through in the car. But
did you expect three inches of rain an hour. That's
what slammed into New York. So, for example, if you
were at Grand Central station, you had to run for
your life because it was a wall of water. When
(00:58):
it comes to the there was no way you were
getting on the subway. If you're claustrophobic, that was frightening.
So there were a lot of delays. And then there's
a major highway ironically called Clearview Expressway in Queens and
so cars and trucks were almost completely underwater, just absolutely flooded.
(01:23):
I give you other examples, but you get the idea.
The pockets of famous areas and areas that people travel
all the time were just socked and various people had
to be rescued. So there were lots and lots of
water rescues, and then if you were traveling, fifteen hundred
flights canceled in and out of different airports in the
(01:47):
Northeast as well. In Baltimore, same thing got hammered with
way too much rain. It was the scenario of the
torrential summer storms batting down at a rate of speed
that fills everything up and causes those flash floods, very
(02:07):
scary along areas along a really popular highway I ninety five.
And the storm threat isn't over. In fact, in many
areas it's raining right now. Where are listening to me?
So Philly and Trenton and Dover, Salisbury, Washington, d C, Fredericksburg, Hagerstown, Harrisburg,
(02:28):
you get it. Pittsburgh even kind of a lower threat there,
but still they're getting a lot of that rain. So
you have commuters that were just fleeing the intense downpour.
So you got the fire department of the NYPD, for example,
Emergency Service Unit crews racing near these flooded areas trying
(02:52):
to help as many people as they could, And so
you imagine also creeks and rivers and other areas, ponds overflowing,
And like I said, you don't have to imagine it
for most people because you get it. You certainly have
lived in it all right. This is just another terrible,
(03:15):
gut wrenching story. Think about a mom and dad bringing
their kids to safety before they were stabbed to death
on a trail. You're hiking, you're new to the area,
you're excited to be there, and then you encounter this
twenty eight year old monster who turns out to be
a teacher who admitted to murdering this married couple found
(03:38):
stabed to death on a trail and in Arkansas Park.
This was just over the weekend, and they believe it's
completely random. So twenty eight year old Andrew McGann was
charged with two counts of capital murder and the killings
of forty three year old Clinton David Brink and his wife,
forty one year old Kristin Brink. That's the arkanhas Arkansas
(04:00):
rather State police say they were just out with their
two daughters at Devil's Den State Park before they suddenly
were in the middle of this, the mother especially, bringing
the kids to safety as quickly as she could. They
were just seven and nine years old. Just listen to
what the Governor, Sarah Huckabee had to say.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
We are here in northwest Arkansaw, a community that has
been absolutely heartbroken over the course of the almost last week.
Our entire state is grieving for the tragic loss and
senseless and horrific crime that's taken place in this area.
(04:47):
One of the worst experiences that certainly I've ever had
was making a phone call to the Brink family earlier
this week. Nothing like that should ever take place.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I second that nothing like that should take place anywhere.
And there you are enjoying a beautiful, beautiful summer day.
It wasn't a beautiful flight for twenty five people on
board a Delta Airlines flight from Salt Lake City. We
talked about it was breaking news in the previous show
to Amsterdam. They were hospitalized after the flight encounter significant turbulence.
(05:23):
They were diverted to Minneapolis Saint Paul. And what happened
was this flight, which was tough full of people because
again you're gonna oversee so think about how big those
planes are two hundred and seventy five.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Passengers, thirteen crew. Suddenly there you are.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
You're right around Yoming when the plane drops, I mean
Jess drops, but you're not on a funhouse ride. You're
scared to death that this flight is crashing. It really
hit me when I listened to what this couple said.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
The I'm playing rows wrapped up about five hundred feet
and then did somewhat of a nosedive very rapidly down
about fifteen hundred feet.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
There's a moment where we thought we were going down.
So I'm still shaking about it. It was very scary.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
The Federal Aviation Administration in the National Transportation Safety Board,
they're the two that would investigate, and that's what they're doing.
Tariff's tariff's tariffs. So India is weighing options to placate
the White House now, apparently because India is in shock
after being slapped with a twenty five percent tariff. Here
(06:37):
was President Trump.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
India has been a good friend, but India has charged
basically more tariffs and almost any other country.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, so they were shocked in New Delhi and disappointed,
they say, by Trump's announcement that there was this that
they were going to get slapped with a twenty five
percent tariff. They're considering jumping up their natural gas purchases
from the US and increasing imports of communication equipment and gold,
hoping that could help with this tariff and lower it.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Wants some good news.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I think it's pretty cool when you're an archaeologist and
you find a piece of history, even if it's puzzling.
When archaeologists unearth ancient shoes, they're usually about the same
size as what we have. Our feet are about the
same size. However, in northern England they were surprised to
find massive leather shoes that are much larger than usual
(07:39):
and they have no idea. They're puzzled why they're so big.
The super sized footwear comes from a Roman era for
it called Magna, which is along Hadrian's Wall. It's a
seventy three mile stone fortification that was built in one
twenty two CE that marked the northwest boundary of the
Roman Empire. So since May they have been working at
(08:03):
Magna and they've on earthed checked us out eight massive
leather shoes that each measure eleven and eight eleven point
eight inches long. So that yeah, the extra l furge
specimens now make up a quarter of all the shoes
(08:23):
found so far at the site. Maybe there really was giants,
maybe Jack and the giant beanstalk.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Maybe there's some truth to that.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
So they did find smaller shoes, but they've been finding
a lot of those giant shoes. Oh, the history of
what the past can tell us.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Eyes are the windows of the soul. That's next.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Here's a scary statistic. Nearly seventy five percent of kids'
vision issues are missed at school screenings. Wow, So we're
going to talk about why parents should add an in
person comprehensive eye exam to their back to school checklist.
So that should be happening right now. Jackie Bowen, ophthalmology doctor,
(09:26):
President of American Optometric Association Board of Trustees, joins us.
So we're lucky to have for Thanks for coming on, Jackie.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Bett, thank you for having me today.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So why should a comprehensive eye exam be part of
that checklist of her back to school?
Speaker 6 (09:45):
We're born with only one pair of eyes, and you
have to use those eyes of your whole entire life.
They don't come and go, and there's no such thing
as a false eye that works, and there's no such
thing as an eye transplant. So optometrists are the doctors
that take care of all ass of the eyes and vision,
and an annual exam is going to be much more
comprehensive at identifying problems. Screenings that are in school, the
(10:09):
pediatrician's office elsewhere in the community are helpful certainly at
identifying problems, but only about four percent of what needs
to be checked is assessed during a screening, as opposed
to one hundred percent of what needs to be checked
during a comprehensive exam with an optometrist. So although screenings
are good even children who identify as having problems and
(10:30):
needing a referral for more comprehensive care, sixty percent of
those kids do not get that care that they need.
So establishing good habits for parents and establishing those habits
in their children to visit the eye doctor on an
annual basis is extremely important, not just for learning and
social development athletic ability, but for lifelong eye and systemic health.
(10:56):
There are about two hundred and seventy diseases of the
body that can be identified in the eye, so I
always tell my patients your eye exam is about your vision,
but also about the future of your vision. And since
we can tell so much about how the whole body
is working, it's just common sense to make sure that
that's a habit.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Ooh boy, that's crazy to think about that many so important.
So the follow up to that is what is AOA's
recommended frequency of eye exams for kids?
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Sure, my answer is going to surprise you a little bit.
We want to see children at the age of six
to twelve months. First, those baby's brains are just firing
rapidly and critical cortical connections are being made, and we
want to identify deficits or imbalances if they exist at
that early age, so we can nip it in the
button take care of those things. Then, between three and
(11:48):
five years of age before school starts, a comprehensive exam
with an optometrist is recommended, and during the school years
we recommend an annual check. It's not just about wearing glasses.
So even the child who's performing well and seems to
be seeing well might have some underlying conditions that we
want to identify. And the eye is sneaky, it's not
(12:08):
going to tell you about a problem until it's pretty advanced,
whether it's visual or a disease related condition. So it's
a good habit to be and to ensure, you know,
accomplishing success in school and in life and adulthood, in
your career, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, and you're just mentioning that, and it goes along
with maybe a little bit of a follow up here,
what happens when you have undiagnosed eye problems as far
as learning with kids?
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Well, for example, one thing that's pretty common is to
have one eye that works well in the other eye
that's not so good, and the brain can't individually focus
the eyes, so it's going to always choose the easier
eye to see out of. Meanwhile, that other eye isn't
getting the cortical stimulus and the proper connections, so it's
frequently a deficit for the rest of your life, and
(12:59):
there's nothing that can be done to undo that cortical deficit.
So that's not something that you can necessarily observe. It's
not always an eye turn or crossed eye. A screening
will oftentimes not indicate that that's what's going on, and
so that can set a kit up for having problems
with focusing, changing focus depth, perception, binocularity, which of course
(13:22):
makes sense that riding a bike, or participating in sports
and just existing in society, social interactions, self esteem, all
these things are impacted if your eyes and your brain
and your visual system are not working smoothly.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
And then, finally, and this is super important too, what
are some of your tips for parents to help protect
their children's eye health.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Sure, well, we know that screens are just a part
of life. To function in society and certainly an education system, screens,
whether they're in the classroom or handheld or in between,
are going to be part of it. Most parents instinctively
know that it's not good for a child to say
and stare at a screen for a long period of time,
so you put limits on screen time. But while the
child is using the screen, and even adults, I make
(14:07):
this recommendation that you follow what we call the twenty
twenty twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, take a break and
look twenty feet away or more for twenty seconds or more,
and that gives the eyes a little chance to relax
shake out. Meanwhile, readjust your body and posture and your neck.
In addition to that, kick your kids outside, that outside
play for a couple hours a day is critical not
(14:29):
only in physical development, but in mental and ocular development,
and that prevents the onset and progression of near sightedness,
which frankly is becoming a global epidemic. We're very concerned
about the rapid onset of nearsightedness, largely due to screens
that not only affects vision as a kid, but can
affect your iehealth in significant ways as an adult. We
(14:51):
also make it easy for you to find a doctor
will take care of you. Our website is aoa dot
org slash. I Deserve More and that's eye deserve More.
And you just put in your zip code or some
information and that will direct you to an aoa optometrist
who's going to take care of your family. And that
side also has some other tips in addition to what
I've mentioned about taking care of the eyes with the
(15:13):
extreme demands on the visual system for children and adults.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, wow, great information, doctor Bowen, Thanks so much.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Thank you Kate for having me.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I'll tell you what if eyes are the windows of
the soul, like I said, and it's so important to
take care of them. It's so super important as you
become an adult. And then if you go into jobs
like becoming a major league baseball player, you know, the
people who can really see the ball say, when it
comes toward them and they can really see it, it's
(15:47):
like a grapefruit and not a little bebe at the
speeds that it's coming in. So we only had three
major League baseball games, but we had some people that
hit the ball pretty far.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Yeah, yeah, get up there and wham ahoma wammah wa
wa wa wham.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
G and Carlos Stanton and ben Rice Homeward in the
first two innings and the Yankees beat the Ray seven
to four. It was a game that was marred by rain.
I told you what the floods were doing there because
so much came down so quickly, three hours of a delay.
So it was a busy day too on the trade deadline.
When you look at the homers for the Yankees, you
(16:35):
think of Aaron Judge thirty seven for him so far
in the season. He's dealt with an injury though too
along the way. For Stanton, he had his eighth homer
since returning from ten to ightis in both elbows last
month and so that was important for him, and it
was important obviously for the Yankees. They pick up their
sixtieth win. The sixtieth win. We moved to the other
(17:00):
two games, and what were the highlights there, well, the
Braves and the Reds. It was all about the long ball.
Twelve eleven Atlanta wins this one. It's been a weird
season for Atlanta. They haven't even broken the fifty mark.
They're forty six and sixty two. But they picked up
this game against the Reds. You had, for example, in
(17:23):
this one, you had sackfly that made the big difference
in the tenth because it was final frames, by the way,
so ten innings. Marcelo Ozuno drove in Matt Olsen with
that sackfly in the tenth, So it wasn't the sexy
long ball.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
But it got the job.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Ton Elie Dela Cruz hit a two run home run
to stake the Reds in the game.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
But it didn't matter in the end, only for personal
stats because they didn't pick up the victory. But Dela
Cruz Cruz rather broke a little bit of a a streak.
He broke a career high twenty nine homerless games, and
he's known for coming around on the ball that whole
(18:09):
grapefruit theory.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That's what players used to tell me. It's like I'm
looking at a great fruit.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Mariners blanked the Rangers six nothing. They did that at
T Mobile Park out in Seattle, and it really was
more a story of pitching helped and the Mariners got
those runs that they.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Needed so early in the game.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I mean, that's the name of the game, right is
to get the runners, is to get the runners on
base and then to smash them in. So when we
look at the for the Mariners, they had a couple
of home runs in this game that made a difference.
Looking at the stat lines, you know you had Rally
(18:55):
that had a home run. So you also had Naylor
who who went yard too, and Young with a home run.
So a couple of home runs making a difference. Mostly
small ball and pitching and just getting that job done.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Wow, hard to believe. A little tiny snippet of sports.
And that's it. We're over the hump. Wait till you
hear our next guest.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
He is a documentary filmmaker, pretty famous, one out of
la He takes us to Ukraine. So the name of
(19:43):
the documentary is Sisters of Ukraine. It's war theme doc
from director Mike Dorsey and it is available starting right now.
Today was the drop day and it's so int interesting
the things that first of all Dorsey has done, and
(20:04):
what happens when they get to Ukraine and what that
journey was like.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Here's a little snippet of that doc.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
We just called all.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
The children to the most inner.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Room we have in the school.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
All Ukraine is in danger in this moment, Shimadchuki Zaki.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
We've died to rest tomorrow morning with the refugees, but
now with a lot of flight in the whole of
the country, we are going to applage.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
The refugees not to go to Bano Frankie and we
wait for them.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
If we have to wait one day, we'll wait one day.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
If you have to wait two day's wait, we are
going to wait for them.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
All right, So check this out. I got a great
documentary we're going to talk about because you know we've
been talking to so many people from Ukraine. Well, this
documentary is Sisters of Ukraine. Is a war themed doc
and it's from a very acclaimed director that we're happy
to have with us, Mike Dorsey, and it's going to
(21:08):
set sail in fact, it has set sale because it's
already it's August coming up. I mean, look, we're a
day away, we're stepping into August. Oh my gosh, time flies.
Mike Dorsey has a resume that so long it would
take me two hours to read all of it. But
let's just say he definitely has some incredible work out
(21:28):
there that I think many of you have probably seen.
He is a documentary filmmaker, TV producer, editor. He's in
at Los Angeles, California. He shares a love of the
Dodgers like I do. And his documentaries include not just
this one we're going to talk about, but a World
War two, a big film there, and we know we
(21:50):
focus on that too here and.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
A whole bunch of other things.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Six Degrees of Helter Skelter and Murder Rap, which was
adapted into a twenty eighteen scripted series Unsolved for NBC Universal.
Remember that Josh tamol or Pal was part of that
whole thing. So Mike, thanks for hopping.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
On, Thank you very much, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Let's talk about this one. How did this come about?
Sisters of Ukraine?
Speaker 9 (22:15):
U sure I was contacted by an almond grower. Actually
up in the kind of the central Valley of California
named Stephen Campos, and he knew this group in Spain
who was getting refugees out of Ukraine, and it was
the Spanish Ngo out of Barcelona, and they were teamed
up with this convent of nuns in Ukraine who were
(22:35):
getting refugees out of the country. And he just thought
this would be a great film idea. So we connected
and within weeks we were in Ukraine filming the movie.
It was amazing how fast it came together.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Ooh, what was it like filming there? What was it
three days and twenty I read twenty five hundred mile journey.
Speaker 9 (22:55):
Yeah, you can't fly into Ukraine, there's no commercial flights
because of the war, so you get to So we
flew to Warsaw and then drove eight hours across the
border into Ukraine. And when we were there, things in
western Ukraine had been relatively quiet, and that's where we
were going the initial invasion. Once that kind of failed
for the Russians and the fighting all shifted to the
(23:15):
eastern part of the country. Western Ukraine, with some caveats,
had returned somewhat to normal. In fact, our first day
there we saw police blocking off a road and we
were like, oh no, what's happened And it was a
five k run that was happening in this town that
we were in.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
So kind of this kind of trying to get back
to normal there.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
But the night before we drove in, the kirch Bridge
was bombed in Crimea, and that was a huge story.
That was a big national symbol of pride for the Russians.
They were very upset about that that got bombed. And
so by that first afternoon we were there, things really shifted.
We heard our first air raid sirens. All the Ukrainians
have the app on their phone that shows the map
(23:54):
of the country in which regions are under threat at
any given time. For the first time since the invasion,
the whole map was up. And then the very next
day the whole country was on lockdown and a power
station nineteen miles from us was bombed. We had MiGs
flying overhead the entire time we were there from then on,
and so things. It just shows how in a war
zone things can shift very quickly.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, no kidding, So tell us about tell us about
these young nuns.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
What were they like?
Speaker 9 (24:20):
They were incredible. I'd never stated a convent before. I'd
never really known any nuns. A mother, Christiana, who runs
this convent. She's probably around my age. All the other
nuns are in there, probably early to mid twenties. They're
young women, kind of knew it life, maybe a little
bit naive about life still, and they're there to run
a school. They weren't there to help refugees, but then
(24:42):
the war happened and they were thrust into this situation
where they basically have two jobs.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
And they were absolutely inspirational.
Speaker 9 (24:50):
I've never been around people who are dedicated to service
like that, who from the moment they wake up in
the morning till when they go to sleep at night,
they're serving others. I'd never seen. I'd never been around
people like that before. It was really inspiring.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Wow, incredible for you because you've done so many different
documentaries and have had the privilege, I'm going to say
this for you to be in the position where you are,
because you're you know, you're you're seeing people's lives. That's
what I love about your work and what I love
about documentary. Where would this rank for you? I mean,
you were right inside it.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
This is unlike anything else I've ever done because my
other documentaries have been about stories that already happened.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
They're looking back at something that happened, whether Tupac's murder
or World War two or whatever.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
This I jumped at this because I really wanted to
do something that's happening now. And we shot this was
called cinema verite style, which means all in the moment,
running around with cameras on, you know, handheld the whole time,
no interviews later on looking back at what happened. We
are in the moment with the people in the story
the entire time, and that was really an exciting way
(25:57):
to film. This really put the audience in our shoe
and what it was really like to be there.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
When people see this, what do you hope their takeaway is?
Speaker 8 (26:07):
I hope that they will realize that they can help.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
We're there with this NGO out of Barcelona, a nonprofit
group there that is helping refugees because it's the biggest.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Refugee crisis in Europe since World War Two. Eight million
people have fled Ukraine.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
All those people need a place to live, they need
food until they can get on their feet in whatever
country they've gone to. And some refugees have come even
as far away as here in the US, and there
are lots of aid groups out there that are helping.
And so I'm hoping that people will watch this and
realize we need to help and look locally. You know,
any city or town in this country probably has an
(26:42):
aid group that is helping Ukrainians right now, and just
do everything you can to help.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, boy, I echo that sentiment. And for you, it
has to be strangers. Like you said, You've done events
that have happened in the past, but here you're seeing
what's happening when real time and you're running around in
the middle of it. But then you and the crew
get to leave. That has to be also kind of
a weird feeling.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
It was tough.
Speaker 9 (27:03):
It was tough to leave them behind and knowing that,
you know, we shot this in October, winter is coming,
and you know that power plant was bombed on for
a reason because the Russians want to make them suffer
as much as possible when the cold hits. And to
know that we're leaving them to that and that even
more challenges are coming, it was really hard.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
So we played the trailer at the beginning of this
Ya Bravo. It pulls you right in. How can people
find this because there's lots of different ways to get
You can even own a copy of it.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Absolutely, So it comes out tomorrow Friday.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
It'll be on Apple, It'll be on Amazon, It'll be
on Google Play, any pay per view outlet, you know,
any on cable tv, pay per view, anywhere where you
can find movies, just about you'll be able to find it.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
And yeah, you can buy it or rent it.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Awesome. Mike Dorsey, thank you so.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
Much, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
So interesting listening to his story and what that was like.
He's right, I mean, you've bound's in there, and there's
no way to get there except for the way he did.
Of course, all hell breaks loose and they're doing this
doc and you have to really see it to get
that sense of what's happening there and sentiment, some sentiment
(28:19):
has changed here in this country about Ukraine, because remember
it seemed like, wow, what is going on with Russia
and Russia and Ukraine and this idea of meeting for
peace talks and the push of Trump was pushing that,
and there was that big hope and then things turned
(28:39):
completely in the opposite direction. At the end of July,
though we just a couple of weeks ago, a week
and a half ago, Russia and Ukraine met again. There
was that push to see something happen, but it was
a delegation, right, and there was no personal meeting between
President Zelenski of Ukraine and Vladimir Putin whatsoever. So at
(29:06):
this point, with what's going on, I think there are
more questions than answers. And from Trump's part, his patience
has been running very thin with this because every time
he had had a phone call in the past with Putin,
(29:27):
it seemed promising, and then it would be the complete opposite,
as he himself said, of what was happening, when all
of a sudden they would be back there with the drones,
going after the innocence, if you will. And so things
changed there, and you really get that sense and you
(29:47):
understand what it's like for the people in this very special,
special special documentary by the way, because here we are
August first, right, were at the last day of July
and into August Firth first. Rather, the President on Thursday
unveiled a bunch of new tariffs targeting exports from dozens
(30:09):
of trading partners with plans to escalate, and unless some
of these countries acquiesce and cut some sort of a deal,
some steep tariff some more than sixty countries was snap
into place on August seventh, specifically, and Canada is no exception.
(30:34):
There's been a lot of back and forth with Canada.
Canada had hoped to remove all terrorfts through negotiations. There
was a tiny bit of relief when the President announced
he was raising his general tariff against Canadian goods to
thirty five percent because of all of the goods the
tariff doesn't cover.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
But as was the case.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
With the twenty five percent tariff it replaces, the thirty
five percent tariff won't be charged on exports that meet
the United States, Mexico, Canada's agreement, so they're not tariffed
at all. However, auto steel, aluminum all that covered by
other Trump tariffs. Hey, it's Kate Delaney here. As you

Speaker 5 (32:09):
A.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Welcome to the Zinger Zone.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
This is where we test out these incredible one liners
that I've been working on all week long, just prepared
for all of you this time around.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Here's what the focus is. Gold. I think you get it.
(32:43):
Gold is the focus.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
And why because I saw a story about a massive
gold nugget that is headed for auction. Yeah, the nugget
weighs fifty three point sixty seven troy ounces, so that
would be three point seven pounds. What do you think
something like that would sell for Hmmm, I'm gonna say
(33:07):
herotage just putting it up and they're gonna get some
serious coin for it. The estimate is, and this is
from a private collection from somebody in Oregon. It is
the estimate is two hundred thousand and up. And it
has folds. It's like leafy, you know that. That's how
(33:29):
the metal is and the way it's grown. It's kind
of looks like an art piece. It's over five and
a half inches long and it's really this gold yellow
kind of luster, and the it's cool looking, I have
to say that, So it's a pretty valuable the size,
(33:50):
it's a it would be a treasure and an appeal
to somebody who was into gold. But I don't know
how much in the end you're gonna pay for because
I think there's gonna be a lot of bids. All right,
let's roll out these one liners. How about this? Why
did the pirate wear gold earrings because he couldn't afford
(34:13):
silver ones? Why did the gold coin go to therapy?
Of course, it had separation anxiety. What did the gold
(34:34):
say to the bank, I'm worth my weight in money?
Why did the lepre Kahn hide his gold in the freezer?
My friends, he went in some cold cash. Why did
(34:55):
the gold coin refuse to listen to music? It didn't
want to change it tune? All right, I'm just gonna
build this as this is my favorite of all of them.
Why did the goldsmith go on a diet? He wanted
to lose some carrots? Of course? Absolutely. What do you
(35:24):
call a gold coin that tells jokes? A funny currency?
Speaker 3 (35:37):
All right?
Speaker 10 (35:37):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Why did the gold chain refuse to join the dance party?
It didn't want to link up with the wrong crown.
Howbout this one? How did the gold bar feel after
winning the lottery?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Like a million bucks?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I hope you're amused out there. Oh, please tell me
you're amused. So what do you call it? Gold bar?
With a sense of humor? A witty bullyon? How did
the gold necklace feel when it was worn? Choked with compliments?
(36:33):
Some of you might relate to this. Why did the
pirate bury his gold in the garden? He wanted to
grow a money tree?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Come on, I know some of you growing up.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I don't care if you're in your twenties, thirties, forties, fifties,
sixties year older.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Did you ever hear the comment is? What do you think?
We have a money tree in the backyard? Money tree?
Now there's the money tree.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
How did the gold coin react when it found a penny?
Oh penny for your thinks. Yeah, that's when I get
down to the nitty gritty and it's like three o'clock
in the morning, and I'm like, I gotta write this.
I gotta come up with some more jokes. I think
I heard this one. I know, because you know some
(37:19):
of these jokes. I'm sure are out there because some
of them are so elementary. Here's the punchline. Here's what
you think of when you write down everything related to
related to gold. I like this one. What did the
gold bar say to the treasure chest? Open up?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I'm the bullionaire? And then I have this one.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
What did one gold adam say to the other during
a chemistry lesson? We're elemental to the equation? I have
just a couple. I'm giving you a lot. This is
probably annoying. What did the gold chain say to the pennant?
Together were a priceless combination? And then one more, why
(38:13):
did the gold statue go to the art gallery? It
wanted to see it's golden piers.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Thank you very much, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Let's put a few tips in the jar, or buy
me a cup of coffee.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
By the way, if you missed anything like those precious jokes,
remember you can always get the podcasts, even though it's
awesome to absorb the show on these fabulous affiliates.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
I know how it is.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
What did she say? What was that cheesy joke? Who
was that interview with? Wait a second, I missed the
Sports and the man Cave? How without that author. That's
pretty interesting. So this is what you do. You go
to Kate Delaney Radio.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
With extra Sauce the sauce.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Again, Kate Delenny Radio with extra Sauce the sauce. So
that's the highlight package for you. And it's on where
you can imagine. So you think of Apple, you think
of Spriaker, you can go to Spotify and you can
find it there. Just punch it in boom and there
(39:23):
you are. Can fast forward to your favorite spot or
what you missed, or listen to the whole thing when
you're running in this extreme heat. Hopefully you're not running
too far in the extreme heat. I had a couple
of quickies here for you.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Though.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
It's sad to hear this story about Justin Timberlake who
says he's going to press on with touring as long
as he can because he's got a debilitating lime disease.
He found out that he was shocked he found out
he had lime disease. So he's had this year plus
long to forget Tomorrow World tour And in wrapping up,
(39:58):
he shared with his fans that he has some health issues,
including the lyme disease. He said it can be relentlessly debilitating.
He said, it's hard on him mentally and physically. He
said when he first got the diagnosis, he was shocked,
but he could understand why all of a sudden, he'd
be on stage and he'd have this massive amount of
nerve pain, or he would just feel really crazy fatigued,
(40:22):
or feel like he just had some kind of.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Weird sickness, and it was so bad.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
At one point he thought, I got a bandon this tour,
but he didn't want to do it. He wanted to
because even last year he had a number of dates
that he had to change because he had bronchitis or
laryngitis or something else he was dealing with. And he's
liked touring and he's fleeting stress to his body. It
makes him feel happy, and he wanted to continue to
(40:50):
do what he could. But you know, he's been doing
it for thirty plus years. You think of the bands
that he was with, the boy band and what you know,
how long he's been touring here and there. So what
a sad thing. Lime disease. If you don't know it,
(41:10):
I mentioned it in the previous hour. It's a bacteria
transferred by infected ticks when they bite humans. Some people
could be more prone to it if you look it up,
because now, of course we look up everything. If you
go to the Mayo Clinic and look it up, it'll
say rash, fever, headaches, extreme tiredness, joint stiffness, muscle aches.
(41:31):
And there's been a weird increase in tick populations and
lime disease cases in the US has gone up, especially
in the New York area, in Michigan and in Pennsylvania.
They're getting a lot of they're getting a lot of cases.
And yeah, it'd be tough to deal with that because
anytime you have some we all know this, I mean, right,
(41:54):
anytime you have something happen, what's the first thing, especially
if you've really been been working on you yourself to
be in the best shape ever.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
But I go to the gym even though.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
I'm exhausted, I you know, walk the dog four miles
a day, whatever it is, and then you get these
diagnosises and you're.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
Like wow, And he was.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
He was really shocked by that, and that's how he
portrayed that, certainly to that very very supportive, supportive, supportive audience.
All right, coming up, we we got a couple of
great interviews with you, including Pam McGhee Wilkinson. She's gonna
tell you about this singer who I never heard of,
who will blow your mind. She's written a couple of
(42:36):
books about him. Next, I'm so pleased to welcome to
author's Corner Pamela McGhee Wilkinson her book, The Princess of
(43:00):
Cyrus Hill. It's something we're going to talk about here,
and I love princesses and boys. She did such a
good job with this and the story is fascinating, So
congratulations on the book, and I'm so glad you're hanging
out with us here on America Tonight with me Kay Delaney.
Pam tell us about the Princess, Well, she was.
Speaker 5 (43:22):
Born from the idea that my granddaughter who moved to
the southwestern part of England in two thousand and one,
she was about two and three quarters years old. Her
parents are there because her dad's going to get a
degree in Shakespeare in Works at Exeter University. And I
(43:43):
was talking to her one day and she had this
cute little British accent all of a sudden, which meant
I couldn't understand hardly anything she said. So when I
got back on the phone with her mother. I said,
what happened to her? I can't understand her. Oh, she's
picked up a British accent because she goes to primary
school and she's talking to little five and you know,
three year olds and with their cute little accents, and
(44:05):
so I immediately thought, oh, there's my cute little English princess.
Right about three weeks later, I get a package from
my daughter that has a lot of information in it
that I can put in this what do you call it?
I'm putting together a Oh I forgot the word, but anyway,
I'm collecting stuff and putting it together so that I
(44:26):
can keep memories of their time in England. And the
package came open. When the package was open, there was
a postcard there and it was like a not really
a regular map of Southwest England, but it was like
a cartoon version and I saw Exeter on there. And
(44:47):
then all of a sudden, I saw my cute little
English princess, my granddaughter grom Me in the countryside, and
I go, I need to write a poem about this
little princess. So I sat down and pen in hand
and wrote the poem. And I don't know an hour,
hour and a half, it's done. Sent it to my daughter.
Eventually she called me because she had to do internet
(45:10):
cafe back in two thousand and one. She called me.
She goes Mom, Matt and I her husband at the time.
We just opened your email and oh my gosh, Mom,
where did that poem come from? And I'm like, uh, sweetie,
it's called inspiration. And my little granddaughter was the inspiration.
The postcard that you sent was inspiration. And it just
(45:32):
came and they were actually had actually been sniffling. She
was crying over it, and I thought that was fun.
But anyway, one thing led to another, and twenty years later,
I mean, I printed it often went in all my files.
I've been writing poetry since eighty four or eighty five,
and it just went in a file. In September twenty twenty,
I decided, I think I'll go on and adventure and
(45:54):
publish a book, and it's probably going to be that poem.
So I go through all my poems, my writings, and
I go, yep, this is it. So I started that
process and next thing you know, it's April of twenty
twenty one, and it's out there. It's seventeen stands as long.
I can't talk too much about it because I don't
(46:15):
want to give away too much of the book. But
it's a pre Pewbescent princess called the Princess of Cyrus Hill,
and she is off out in the land that she
belongs to, just having adventure after adventure. So each sometimes
each sentence is another adventure. Not just a stanza, but
(46:37):
each sentence. So that's the story of the Princess of
Cyrus Hill for me. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
Yeah, I love it. Pick up this book because it's
very clever, well done. Kids would absolutely love it. I
think of like five little girls. I just told somebody
the other day and they were going to get it.
So you're talking about a twelve year old and we
won't tell anything, just running around in the countryside, and
what happened. She's royalty. Just put that in your brain.
She's royalty. That's what you have to think about, for sure.
(47:05):
And you mentioned it. You've been writing poetry, you know,
for a long time, since nineteen eighty five, and you're
a collector of such interesting things too, and you told
me about this incredible, incredibly talented man. I'm Jamas Kutenberger,
and I want people to know the story of Demish.
Speaker 5 (47:29):
Yes, okay, love talking about Demosh more than I like
talking about myself. And I like talking about myself. No,
I'm teasing, of course. All right. So in twenty nineteen,
I'm watching a show on television that is a variety competition,
and we were getting My sister and I were in
on this together. She's in Louisiana and I hear, but
(47:52):
we were talking about this guy that's going to show
up on this show that is a six octive. Man. Well,
since I didn't know what an octave was, I thought,
is that kind of like the bearded lady at the circus?
Is that like rare? What is that all about? So
I had to look up octaves and he's seeing six
out of seven? He is now seven octave plus many semitones. Well,
(48:13):
so I discovered him and I followed him. But other people,
many other people, including a lot of Chinese fans, discovered
him in twenty seventeen. So I won't go into all that,
but thankfully for that particular competition, I got to this
CBS show found out about him, and that means I
found out about him. Now I am one of millions
(48:33):
and millions of fans who followed Demash practically like we're
stalking him. I mean, there's if anything gets dropped on
a Facebook fan page, or if he does anything on Instagram,
we are all over him and talking about it. In
fifteen months into my fandom, I saw this picture of
(48:54):
his throat, and as soon as I saw it, I thought, well,
there's that golden throat. Oh my gosh, I think I'm
not read. I think I'll write a poem about his
golden throat. So I did. I wrote the poem, and
I posted a lot on I don't know three Facebook
fan pages, got some nice attention, but I thought that
was it. You know, the term a one off. I
(49:15):
thought that was a one off and I was not
going to be doing anything else in the future. A
couple of days later, there's another something that makes me go,
I think I'll write a poem about that. And the
next thing, you know, I've got twenty one poems, three skits,
and a lot of things that I refer to as
thoughtful expressions and humorous musings. I like to go for
(49:36):
humor most of the time. And someone said, you really
how to put that in a book? And what kind
of book would that be and I can give us
some thought. I said, well, I guess it'd be a
fan book. If you look up the genre of FanBook,
entertainment or poetry, you might find that book. But it's
called I Am Music, which is I'm not the music.
(49:57):
Demosters the music. He's always said, I music. If you
were to cut me open, musical notes would just fly
out of my body. I Am Music, My Journey with
Demash Kuteberg and the Best Singer in the World. That
was the first edition that came out in April twenty
twenty one. A year A little over a year later,
I published another book based on two poems that were
(50:18):
in the first edition of I Am Music, and that
became a book. So I published that in June twenty
twenty two, and then it moved into When I got
that author's copy in my hand, I thought, oh, my gosh,
if this was a puzzle, it's missing some pieces. And
I decided I'm going to have to write a script.
(50:41):
And then I said, what the heck I've been thinking
the whole time I was writing that book. Oh, by
the way, that's called a Themash Kuteberg and Fable. The
Sculptor's masterpiece. The whole time I was writing that book,
I felt like I was writing a movie, and you
could make a script out of that movie. Well I did.
I decided to just write a screenplay, and when it
(51:01):
was finished, I was in the process of republishing the
im Music Book and I just called it a second edition,
so that script is in the back. But Demache is
seven octave singer. He's from Kazakhstan. He's tall, handsome, and
probably one of the nicest guys anybody would ever meet.
(51:22):
Very humble. He will not brag about his octaves. I
have yet to hear him say, yeah, I'm seven octaves
and a few semintones. He won't do it because that
sounds like bragging. And he's been taught all of his
life to be humble. And we appreciate the humility, but
we know better. We know exactly all the octaves that
(51:43):
he sings, and we appreciate it. He also, he has
said before, let's not talk about the octaves. Those are
just tools that I use. What I want to do
is bring you into my world and take you to
another place, and boy does he ever do it. Now.
Other things about him, composer, lyricist, script writer. You have
(52:06):
to check out that thirteen minute video on his YouTube channel.
He wrote the entire script in the entire movie. It's
literally an eleven minute song and he Cary he handles
all of the octaves in that thing. It's an amazing
piece of work. Seven instruments. The ones that we see
(52:28):
the most are the dombra, which is a two string
instrument that's very popular in Kazakhstan, the piano and the drums,
and of course he can do the keyboard too. I
don't know about the other three or four. But you know,
he says, he says he's not an expert at all
these instruments. But we again, we beg to disagree with him.
(52:51):
So yeah, he's just been an inspiration. I'm one of
millions of fans. Let me just make this clear, millions
of fans that feel the same way and follow him
and support him. I've had published postcards and bookmarks with
his QR code in it and literally given it to
one hundred and fifty strangers down here in southwest Utah. Hey,
(53:15):
do you know who the best thing in the world is?
And I generally don't like their answers because it's not right.
They're not right. It actually is Demascuit Orgon of Causes Gone.
Here's his QR code. Check them out, go to his website.
If you don't fall in love with him, there's something
wrong with you. So yeah, so that's him. So I've
been on a great journey for six years. There's not
(53:38):
a day that has gone by that I have not
listened to at least one song, if not twenty. Again,
I'm not any different from anybody else. The only thing
that makes me different is I've published some books about him.
So we've got the first edition that I Am Music,
the second edition the Fable Book. So we've got three
(53:59):
books out there, and of course cute little children's book
Us out there.
Speaker 1 (54:02):
Yes, I love it. I want to tell everybody, because
we're almost out of time, go ahead and get this
and you will not be disappointed. I'm so glad we
got to tell both of those stories. The Presidence of
Cyrus Hill. Of course, it's the other one we talked about.
Go and check it out and get it on Barnes
and Noble, Amazon, wherever great books are sold. Pam, you
are a delight, Thank.
Speaker 10 (54:20):
You, thank you, I appreciate you. You have a great day.
Speaker 1 (54:40):
Megan Teaman joins us now and she is a captive
Wildlife specialist for the PETA Foundations Captive Animal Law Enforcement Division,
So she's here to talk about what about when you're
on the road and you take a road trip this summer,
Pete is advising why to drive right on by the
road roadside animal attractions, which you see them right So,
(55:04):
thank you so much for hopping on with us, Meigan.
Speaker 7 (55:07):
Of course, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (55:09):
So when we're talking about that, when I mentioned roadside
animal attractions, what are people most likely going to see?
Speaker 7 (55:18):
Yeah, so, like you mentioned, it's summertime. There's so many
vacations and traveling happening, and we're likely to see on
the side of the road some advertisements or billboards for
places that allow interactions with animals or photo opportunities or
drive through parks, you know. And these are going to
(55:39):
be held at facilities that we call roadside dudes, and
they are unaccredited facilities that are often keeping their animals
in horrible conditions, whether the enclosures are incredibly small or concrete.
A lot of them do not have access to proper
vetinary care or even adequate diet. So we're just warning
(56:02):
everybody who cares about animals to stay away from facilities
like this.
Speaker 1 (56:07):
Yeah, and I mean, and I guess you can find
them all over the place, right, We're talking across the
whole country.
Speaker 7 (56:12):
Yeah. Absolutely, And they may be in big cities or
they may be literally on the side of the road.
But again, these are places that are not providing the
best standard of care for the animals who live there,
So we're just encouraging people to stay away from them.
Some major red flags that you're going to see are
(56:32):
if the animals are forced to perform any type of
trick or show, or if the animals are forced to
do photo opportunities, especially babies. These animals are just you know,
they're wild animals. They don't want to be pet or
touched or held by humans. It's incredibly stressful and it's
(56:55):
incredibly dangerous for everybody involved.
Speaker 1 (56:58):
Yeah, So when we're talking about this, how many animals
has pee to rescued and what kinds We've.
Speaker 7 (57:04):
Helped rescue hundreds of animals from across the country from
these roadside zoos that now live happily at accredited sanctuaries
where they're getting the care they deserve. And we've seen
everything from the cats and bear to smaller reptiles and
exotic birds, tortoises and things like that. We've really seen
(57:28):
it all. And like I said, now that they're able
to have access to grass and access to proper diet
and proper venary care, some of these animals have never
seen that before.
Speaker 1 (57:40):
Yeah, and you know people talk about petting zoos and
the whole selfie opportunity that you could have. Are they
dangerous or hazardous?
Speaker 7 (57:49):
Absolutely, any type of contact between humans and wild animals
is potentially dangerous. These animals, we've seen them. When they
get scared or or if they're stressed out about something,
they're going to react and try to protect themselves and
they'll do that by biting and scratching and kicking. So
we've seen so many cases where adults and children have
(58:14):
been injured even hospitalized because of these injuries. And they're
so much more as well. You know, these animals can
spread zoonotic diseases. They are just like I said, not
they don't want to be pet or touched. And the bigger,
(58:34):
more potentially dangerous animals once they're you know, reached a
point where they're too big or considered too dangerous. They're
just put back into these small enclosures for the rest
of their lives. So it's just not a good life
cycle for these animals that deserve so much better.
Speaker 1 (58:52):
Yeah, what are some you know, on the positive side,
what are some examples of animal friendly Some are vacation spots.
Speaker 7 (59:00):
Yeah, people can enjoy so many things that have nothing
to do with animals. You know. We can go to
the beach, or we can go to parks. So many
circuses now have gone animal free. It's so great to
see that. And there's just so many choices that we
can make as people that can positively help animals. And
(59:23):
if we can just avoid these roadside doos, and if
we do want to see animals because they are amazing
and we do want to learn about them, we need
to support these accredited facilities, these true sanctuaries that are
rescuing the animals from these horrible situations and they're giving
them the life that they should have. You know, it's
(59:45):
not it's not the wild, but when they can't be
in the wild, they need to be given the best
standard of care and that's going to be at these
accredited sanctuaries.
Speaker 1 (59:56):
So if people want to know more. Where can it go?
Speaker 7 (59:57):
Megan, every co got our website at Peter dot org
slash roadside Dudes, and that'll give everyone a little bit
more information.
Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Awesome, thank you, thank you. And finally we closed the
show with some ubis what I call ubiquitous bits of
information that I think you'll find super super interesting my friends. Right,
so check this out. An Argentine police officer made some
bucks after his nude butt was put on the internet.
(01:00:30):
So he was hanging out in the nude and what
he thought was the privacy of yes, his own garden
because look, he has a six and a half foot fence.
A Google street View camera happened by and guess what
they called His body, house number, and street name not
only appeared online, but then they were shared in an
Argentinian news clip across social media, so you can imagine
(01:00:52):
what that led to. Initially, his claims were dismissed and
appeals judge agreed it was a blatant invasion though of
prime see as he was in his own yard for
goodness sake, behind a fence taller than the average person.
So we got twelve thousand, five hundred dollars. I think
he should have gotten more. Google has more money than that.
It's true. Look your home up somewhere and you can
(01:01:13):
see usually it's probably older photos of the view they's
taken taken, but they redo them too. How about this.
Starbucks said yet no more pick up only stores. They
had ninety of them and they're closing them. The CEO,
Brian Nicol, says the seating free shops were overly transactional. Duh,
(01:01:36):
and they lacked duh, the warmth and human connection that
defines our brand. Starbucks has been slumping in the same
store sales for six consecutive quarters. Knock, knock, who's there.
People want connection. We are so so so isolated, and
ever since the pandemic and then people working remotely. It's
(01:02:00):
a plus a lot of people. And it's not even
an age thing. It can be older people, It certainly
can be younger people. I think it spans from like
mid twenties, maybe even maybe younger than that. Where you
like Starbucks, you like the coffee, You got to finish
some report, so you'll go and you'll buy the coffee,
(01:02:20):
and you'll buy a scone or whatever they have and
sit there and hang out, maybe for an hour or so.
If it's a transactional thing, and it's just to go
pick up the coffee. You're not meeting someone there, you're
not running to get to work. I think in a
lot of cases when people go into stores, that's what
the deal is. But also when they're running and they're
picking up coffee and they're taking it if they actually
(01:02:42):
do work somewhere in a building. The thing about that
is a lot of times they'll take orders for other people.
You know, they'll get a whole bunch of orders. But
for sure, you look around the stores, I mean look
any everywhere you go, you see Starbucks, whether you're in
a rural area or a big suburban area or a
huge city. Everyone I've gone in, whether it's San Antonio,
(01:03:04):
whether it's New Orleans, whether it's Cherry Hill, New Jersey,
whether they're in Saint Petersburg, Florida, wherever, I always see
people in there, and sometimes you can tell they're just
meeting a friend. And there's no doubt I can see
why the drive through thing just wouldn't work out. That's
not their brand. You know, there are donut places, and
(01:03:24):
usually they're local and they might have a little bit
of a store, but the whole idea is like Dunkin Donuts.
They have a little bit of a store, but they
also are really a drive through thing. All I got
to finish with this one. This is cool. So there's
been this new deal for a lot of people. It's
been around, but movie and video game concerts. So check
this out. You know, music and film of course are related.
(01:03:47):
Think of Jaws. We play that theme and you know
exactly what it is. So fans are going to concerts
where the scores from their favorite films and their series
and even video games are actually performed live. John Ki,
the CEO of Black Ink Presents, they specialize in IP
based live shows, told a thing that I read called
(01:04:08):
The Hustle that they were probably ten to fifteen. There
were probably ten to fifteen shows that they did annually,
like in twenty ten. Now they're up to two thousand
shows worldwide and they're seeing alone already six hundred shows
this year. It makes sense because you want to if
you want to be interactive, if you want to go
(01:04:29):
to an event and you like the music, then there's
that whole thing there. You go, you go grab some dinner,
you go hang out, and especially younger people if they're
looking for an experience. This would work, but I think
even older people or people with kids if it's like
a Disney movie. All Right, we have done it. We
are out of the show. This was a lot of fun. Everybody.
Thank you my friends for hanging with us here on
(01:04:51):
eighty and the Charcuterie Board of Talk Radio. Don't forget
if you missed anything. You can absolutely go get the
show Kate Dealaney Radio with extra so Aus. Check it
out Apple or iHeart or any of the places where
you've got podcasts. Make account everybody.
Some of the old saw we used to sing as kids, Rain, Rain,
go away, come back some other day. Boy, a lot
of people must be humming that tomb to themselves. Hey, everybody,
Kate the lady here on ATM the Characuitie Board of
talk radio. It was a nasty one in the northeast.
Think about this, and some of you know what this
is like because you've experienced it in other parts of
(00:37):
the country. Just picture this for a second. You're out
doing your errands. Hey, it's going to be a rainy day.
You actually have an umbrella through in the car. But
did you expect three inches of rain an hour. That's
what slammed into New York. So, for example, if you
were at Grand Central station, you had to run for
your life because it was a wall of water. When
(00:58):
it comes to the there was no way you were
getting on the subway. If you're claustrophobic, that was frightening.
So there were a lot of delays. And then there's
a major highway ironically called Clearview Expressway in Queens and
so cars and trucks were almost completely underwater, just absolutely flooded.
(01:23):
I give you other examples, but you get the idea.
The pockets of famous areas and areas that people travel
all the time were just socked and various people had
to be rescued. So there were lots and lots of
water rescues, and then if you were traveling, fifteen hundred
flights canceled in and out of different airports in the
(01:47):
Northeast as well. In Baltimore, same thing got hammered with
way too much rain. It was the scenario of the
torrential summer storms batting down at a rate of speed
that fills everything up and causes those flash floods, very
(02:07):
scary along areas along a really popular highway I ninety five.
And the storm threat isn't over. In fact, in many
areas it's raining right now. Where are listening to me?
So Philly and Trenton and Dover, Salisbury, Washington, d C, Fredericksburg, Hagerstown, Harrisburg,
(02:28):
you get it. Pittsburgh even kind of a lower threat there,
but still they're getting a lot of that rain. So
you have commuters that were just fleeing the intense downpour.
So you got the fire department of the NYPD, for example,
Emergency Service Unit crews racing near these flooded areas trying
(02:52):
to help as many people as they could, And so
you imagine also creeks and rivers and other areas, ponds overflowing,
And like I said, you don't have to imagine it
for most people because you get it. You certainly have
lived in it all right. This is just another terrible,
(03:15):
gut wrenching story. Think about a mom and dad bringing
their kids to safety before they were stabbed to death
on a trail. You're hiking, you're new to the area,
you're excited to be there, and then you encounter this
twenty eight year old monster who turns out to be
a teacher who admitted to murdering this married couple found
(03:38):
stabed to death on a trail and in Arkansas Park.
This was just over the weekend, and they believe it's
completely random. So twenty eight year old Andrew McGann was
charged with two counts of capital murder and the killings
of forty three year old Clinton David Brink and his wife,
forty one year old Kristin Brink. That's the arkanhas Arkansas
(04:00):
rather State police say they were just out with their
two daughters at Devil's Den State Park before they suddenly
were in the middle of this, the mother especially, bringing
the kids to safety as quickly as she could. They
were just seven and nine years old. Just listen to
what the Governor, Sarah Huckabee had to say.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
We are here in northwest Arkansaw, a community that has
been absolutely heartbroken over the course of the almost last week.
Our entire state is grieving for the tragic loss and
senseless and horrific crime that's taken place in this area.
(04:47):
One of the worst experiences that certainly I've ever had
was making a phone call to the Brink family earlier
this week. Nothing like that should ever take place.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I second that nothing like that should take place anywhere.
And there you are enjoying a beautiful, beautiful summer day.
It wasn't a beautiful flight for twenty five people on
board a Delta Airlines flight from Salt Lake City. We
talked about it was breaking news in the previous show
to Amsterdam. They were hospitalized after the flight encounter significant turbulence.
(05:23):
They were diverted to Minneapolis Saint Paul. And what happened
was this flight, which was tough full of people because
again you're gonna oversee so think about how big those
planes are two hundred and seventy five.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Passengers, thirteen crew. Suddenly there you are.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
You're right around Yoming when the plane drops, I mean
Jess drops, but you're not on a funhouse ride. You're
scared to death that this flight is crashing. It really
hit me when I listened to what this couple said.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
The I'm playing rows wrapped up about five hundred feet
and then did somewhat of a nosedive very rapidly down
about fifteen hundred feet.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
There's a moment where we thought we were going down.
So I'm still shaking about it. It was very scary.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
The Federal Aviation Administration in the National Transportation Safety Board,
they're the two that would investigate, and that's what they're doing.
Tariff's tariff's tariffs. So India is weighing options to placate
the White House now, apparently because India is in shock
after being slapped with a twenty five percent tariff. Here
(06:37):
was President Trump.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
India has been a good friend, but India has charged
basically more tariffs and almost any other country.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, so they were shocked in New Delhi and disappointed,
they say, by Trump's announcement that there was this that
they were going to get slapped with a twenty five
percent tariff. They're considering jumping up their natural gas purchases
from the US and increasing imports of communication equipment and gold,
hoping that could help with this tariff and lower it.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Wants some good news.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I think it's pretty cool when you're an archaeologist and
you find a piece of history, even if it's puzzling.
When archaeologists unearth ancient shoes, they're usually about the same
size as what we have. Our feet are about the
same size. However, in northern England they were surprised to
find massive leather shoes that are much larger than usual
(07:39):
and they have no idea. They're puzzled why they're so big.
The super sized footwear comes from a Roman era for
it called Magna, which is along Hadrian's Wall. It's a
seventy three mile stone fortification that was built in one
twenty two CE that marked the northwest boundary of the
Roman Empire. So since May they have been working at
(08:03):
Magna and they've on earthed checked us out eight massive
leather shoes that each measure eleven and eight eleven point
eight inches long. So that yeah, the extra l furge
specimens now make up a quarter of all the shoes
(08:23):
found so far at the site. Maybe there really was giants,
maybe Jack and the giant beanstalk.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Maybe there's some truth to that.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
So they did find smaller shoes, but they've been finding
a lot of those giant shoes. Oh, the history of
what the past can tell us.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Eyes are the windows of the soul. That's next.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Here's a scary statistic. Nearly seventy five percent of kids'
vision issues are missed at school screenings. Wow, So we're
going to talk about why parents should add an in
person comprehensive eye exam to their back to school checklist.
So that should be happening right now. Jackie Bowen, ophthalmology doctor,
(09:26):
President of American Optometric Association Board of Trustees, joins us.
So we're lucky to have for Thanks for coming on, Jackie.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Bett, thank you for having me today.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So why should a comprehensive eye exam be part of
that checklist of her back to school?
Speaker 6 (09:45):
We're born with only one pair of eyes, and you
have to use those eyes of your whole entire life.
They don't come and go, and there's no such thing
as a false eye that works, and there's no such
thing as an eye transplant. So optometrists are the doctors
that take care of all ass of the eyes and vision,
and an annual exam is going to be much more
comprehensive at identifying problems. Screenings that are in school, the
(10:09):
pediatrician's office elsewhere in the community are helpful certainly at
identifying problems, but only about four percent of what needs
to be checked is assessed during a screening, as opposed
to one hundred percent of what needs to be checked
during a comprehensive exam with an optometrist. So although screenings
are good even children who identify as having problems and
(10:30):
needing a referral for more comprehensive care, sixty percent of
those kids do not get that care that they need.
So establishing good habits for parents and establishing those habits
in their children to visit the eye doctor on an
annual basis is extremely important, not just for learning and
social development athletic ability, but for lifelong eye and systemic health.
(10:56):
There are about two hundred and seventy diseases of the
body that can be identified in the eye, so I
always tell my patients your eye exam is about your vision,
but also about the future of your vision. And since
we can tell so much about how the whole body
is working, it's just common sense to make sure that
that's a habit.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Ooh boy, that's crazy to think about that many so important.
So the follow up to that is what is AOA's
recommended frequency of eye exams for kids?
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Sure, my answer is going to surprise you a little bit.
We want to see children at the age of six
to twelve months. First, those baby's brains are just firing
rapidly and critical cortical connections are being made, and we
want to identify deficits or imbalances if they exist at
that early age, so we can nip it in the
button take care of those things. Then, between three and
(11:48):
five years of age before school starts, a comprehensive exam
with an optometrist is recommended, and during the school years
we recommend an annual check. It's not just about wearing glasses.
So even the child who's performing well and seems to
be seeing well might have some underlying conditions that we
want to identify. And the eye is sneaky, it's not
(12:08):
going to tell you about a problem until it's pretty advanced,
whether it's visual or a disease related condition. So it's
a good habit to be and to ensure, you know,
accomplishing success in school and in life and adulthood, in
your career, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, and you're just mentioning that, and it goes along
with maybe a little bit of a follow up here,
what happens when you have undiagnosed eye problems as far
as learning with kids?
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Well, for example, one thing that's pretty common is to
have one eye that works well in the other eye
that's not so good, and the brain can't individually focus
the eyes, so it's going to always choose the easier
eye to see out of. Meanwhile, that other eye isn't
getting the cortical stimulus and the proper connections, so it's
frequently a deficit for the rest of your life, and
(12:59):
there's nothing that can be done to undo that cortical deficit.
So that's not something that you can necessarily observe. It's
not always an eye turn or crossed eye. A screening
will oftentimes not indicate that that's what's going on, and
so that can set a kit up for having problems
with focusing, changing focus depth, perception, binocularity, which of course
(13:22):
makes sense that riding a bike, or participating in sports
and just existing in society, social interactions, self esteem, all
these things are impacted if your eyes and your brain
and your visual system are not working smoothly.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
And then, finally, and this is super important too, what
are some of your tips for parents to help protect
their children's eye health.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Sure, well, we know that screens are just a part
of life. To function in society and certainly an education system, screens,
whether they're in the classroom or handheld or in between,
are going to be part of it. Most parents instinctively
know that it's not good for a child to say
and stare at a screen for a long period of time,
so you put limits on screen time. But while the
child is using the screen, and even adults, I make
(14:07):
this recommendation that you follow what we call the twenty
twenty twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, take a break and
look twenty feet away or more for twenty seconds or more,
and that gives the eyes a little chance to relax
shake out. Meanwhile, readjust your body and posture and your neck.
In addition to that, kick your kids outside, that outside
play for a couple hours a day is critical not
(14:29):
only in physical development, but in mental and ocular development,
and that prevents the onset and progression of near sightedness,
which frankly is becoming a global epidemic. We're very concerned
about the rapid onset of nearsightedness, largely due to screens
that not only affects vision as a kid, but can
affect your iehealth in significant ways as an adult. We
(14:51):
also make it easy for you to find a doctor
will take care of you. Our website is aoa dot
org slash. I Deserve More and that's eye deserve More.
And you just put in your zip code or some
information and that will direct you to an aoa optometrist
who's going to take care of your family. And that
side also has some other tips in addition to what
I've mentioned about taking care of the eyes with the
(15:13):
extreme demands on the visual system for children and adults.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, wow, great information, doctor Bowen, Thanks so much.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Thank you Kate for having me.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I'll tell you what if eyes are the windows of
the soul, like I said, and it's so important to
take care of them. It's so super important as you
become an adult. And then if you go into jobs
like becoming a major league baseball player, you know, the
people who can really see the ball say, when it
comes toward them and they can really see it, it's
(15:47):
like a grapefruit and not a little bebe at the
speeds that it's coming in. So we only had three
major League baseball games, but we had some people that
hit the ball pretty far.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Yeah, yeah, get up there and wham ahoma wammah wa
wa wa wham.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
G and Carlos Stanton and ben Rice Homeward in the
first two innings and the Yankees beat the Ray seven
to four. It was a game that was marred by rain.
I told you what the floods were doing there because
so much came down so quickly, three hours of a delay.
So it was a busy day too on the trade deadline.
When you look at the homers for the Yankees, you
(16:35):
think of Aaron Judge thirty seven for him so far
in the season. He's dealt with an injury though too
along the way. For Stanton, he had his eighth homer
since returning from ten to ightis in both elbows last
month and so that was important for him, and it
was important obviously for the Yankees. They pick up their
sixtieth win. The sixtieth win. We moved to the other
(17:00):
two games, and what were the highlights there, well, the
Braves and the Reds. It was all about the long ball.
Twelve eleven Atlanta wins this one. It's been a weird
season for Atlanta. They haven't even broken the fifty mark.
They're forty six and sixty two. But they picked up
this game against the Reds. You had, for example, in
(17:23):
this one, you had sackfly that made the big difference
in the tenth because it was final frames, by the way,
so ten innings. Marcelo Ozuno drove in Matt Olsen with
that sackfly in the tenth, So it wasn't the sexy
long ball.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
But it got the job.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Ton Elie Dela Cruz hit a two run home run
to stake the Reds in the game.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
But it didn't matter in the end, only for personal
stats because they didn't pick up the victory. But Dela
Cruz Cruz rather broke a little bit of a a streak.
He broke a career high twenty nine homerless games, and
he's known for coming around on the ball that whole
(18:09):
grapefruit theory.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That's what players used to tell me. It's like I'm
looking at a great fruit.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Mariners blanked the Rangers six nothing. They did that at
T Mobile Park out in Seattle, and it really was
more a story of pitching helped and the Mariners got
those runs that they.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Needed so early in the game.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I mean, that's the name of the game, right is
to get the runners, is to get the runners on
base and then to smash them in. So when we
look at the for the Mariners, they had a couple
of home runs in this game that made a difference.
Looking at the stat lines, you know you had Rally
(18:55):
that had a home run. So you also had Naylor
who who went yard too, and Young with a home run.
So a couple of home runs making a difference. Mostly
small ball and pitching and just getting that job done.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Wow, hard to believe. A little tiny snippet of sports.
And that's it. We're over the hump. Wait till you
hear our next guest.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
He is a documentary filmmaker, pretty famous, one out of
la He takes us to Ukraine. So the name of
(19:43):
the documentary is Sisters of Ukraine. It's war theme doc
from director Mike Dorsey and it is available starting right now.
Today was the drop day and it's so int interesting
the things that first of all Dorsey has done, and
(20:04):
what happens when they get to Ukraine and what that
journey was like.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Here's a little snippet of that doc.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
We just called all.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
The children to the most inner.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Room we have in the school.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
All Ukraine is in danger in this moment, Shimadchuki Zaki.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
We've died to rest tomorrow morning with the refugees, but
now with a lot of flight in the whole of
the country, we are going to applage.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
The refugees not to go to Bano Frankie and we
wait for them.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
If we have to wait one day, we'll wait one day.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
If you have to wait two day's wait, we are
going to wait for them.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
All right, So check this out. I got a great
documentary we're going to talk about because you know we've
been talking to so many people from Ukraine. Well, this
documentary is Sisters of Ukraine. Is a war themed doc
and it's from a very acclaimed director that we're happy
to have with us, Mike Dorsey, and it's going to
(21:08):
set sail in fact, it has set sale because it's
already it's August coming up. I mean, look, we're a
day away, we're stepping into August. Oh my gosh, time flies.
Mike Dorsey has a resume that so long it would
take me two hours to read all of it. But
let's just say he definitely has some incredible work out
(21:28):
there that I think many of you have probably seen.
He is a documentary filmmaker, TV producer, editor. He's in
at Los Angeles, California. He shares a love of the
Dodgers like I do. And his documentaries include not just
this one we're going to talk about, but a World
War two, a big film there, and we know we
(21:50):
focus on that too here and.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
A whole bunch of other things.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Six Degrees of Helter Skelter and Murder Rap, which was
adapted into a twenty eighteen scripted series Unsolved for NBC Universal.
Remember that Josh tamol or Pal was part of that
whole thing. So Mike, thanks for hopping.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
On, Thank you very much, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Let's talk about this one. How did this come about?
Sisters of Ukraine?
Speaker 9 (22:15):
U sure I was contacted by an almond grower. Actually
up in the kind of the central Valley of California
named Stephen Campos, and he knew this group in Spain
who was getting refugees out of Ukraine, and it was
the Spanish Ngo out of Barcelona, and they were teamed
up with this convent of nuns in Ukraine who were
(22:35):
getting refugees out of the country. And he just thought
this would be a great film idea. So we connected
and within weeks we were in Ukraine filming the movie.
It was amazing how fast it came together.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Ooh, what was it like filming there? What was it
three days and twenty I read twenty five hundred mile journey.
Speaker 9 (22:55):
Yeah, you can't fly into Ukraine, there's no commercial flights
because of the war, so you get to So we
flew to Warsaw and then drove eight hours across the
border into Ukraine. And when we were there, things in
western Ukraine had been relatively quiet, and that's where we
were going the initial invasion. Once that kind of failed
for the Russians and the fighting all shifted to the
(23:15):
eastern part of the country. Western Ukraine, with some caveats,
had returned somewhat to normal. In fact, our first day
there we saw police blocking off a road and we
were like, oh no, what's happened And it was a
five k run that was happening in this town that
we were in.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
So kind of this kind of trying to get back
to normal there.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
But the night before we drove in, the kirch Bridge
was bombed in Crimea, and that was a huge story.
That was a big national symbol of pride for the Russians.
They were very upset about that that got bombed. And
so by that first afternoon we were there, things really shifted.
We heard our first air raid sirens. All the Ukrainians
have the app on their phone that shows the map
(23:54):
of the country in which regions are under threat at
any given time. For the first time since the invasion,
the whole map was up. And then the very next
day the whole country was on lockdown and a power
station nineteen miles from us was bombed. We had MiGs
flying overhead the entire time we were there from then on,
and so things. It just shows how in a war
zone things can shift very quickly.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, no kidding, So tell us about tell us about
these young nuns.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
What were they like?
Speaker 9 (24:20):
They were incredible. I'd never stated a convent before. I'd
never really known any nuns. A mother, Christiana, who runs
this convent. She's probably around my age. All the other
nuns are in there, probably early to mid twenties. They're
young women, kind of knew it life, maybe a little
bit naive about life still, and they're there to run
a school. They weren't there to help refugees, but then
(24:42):
the war happened and they were thrust into this situation
where they basically have two jobs.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
And they were absolutely inspirational.
Speaker 9 (24:50):
I've never been around people who are dedicated to service
like that, who from the moment they wake up in
the morning till when they go to sleep at night,
they're serving others. I'd never seen. I'd never been around
people like that before. It was really inspiring.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Wow, incredible for you because you've done so many different
documentaries and have had the privilege, I'm going to say
this for you to be in the position where you are,
because you're you know, you're you're seeing people's lives. That's
what I love about your work and what I love
about documentary. Where would this rank for you? I mean,
you were right inside it.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
This is unlike anything else I've ever done because my
other documentaries have been about stories that already happened.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
They're looking back at something that happened, whether Tupac's murder
or World War two or whatever.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
This I jumped at this because I really wanted to
do something that's happening now. And we shot this was
called cinema verite style, which means all in the moment,
running around with cameras on, you know, handheld the whole time,
no interviews later on looking back at what happened. We
are in the moment with the people in the story
the entire time, and that was really an exciting way
(25:57):
to film. This really put the audience in our shoe
and what it was really like to be there.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
When people see this, what do you hope their takeaway is?
Speaker 8 (26:07):
I hope that they will realize that they can help.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
We're there with this NGO out of Barcelona, a nonprofit
group there that is helping refugees because it's the biggest.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Refugee crisis in Europe since World War Two. Eight million
people have fled Ukraine.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
All those people need a place to live, they need
food until they can get on their feet in whatever
country they've gone to. And some refugees have come even
as far away as here in the US, and there
are lots of aid groups out there that are helping.
And so I'm hoping that people will watch this and
realize we need to help and look locally. You know,
any city or town in this country probably has an
(26:42):
aid group that is helping Ukrainians right now, and just
do everything you can to help.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, boy, I echo that sentiment. And for you, it
has to be strangers. Like you said, You've done events
that have happened in the past, but here you're seeing
what's happening when real time and you're running around in
the middle of it. But then you and the crew
get to leave. That has to be also kind of
a weird feeling.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
It was tough.
Speaker 9 (27:03):
It was tough to leave them behind and knowing that,
you know, we shot this in October, winter is coming,
and you know that power plant was bombed on for
a reason because the Russians want to make them suffer
as much as possible when the cold hits. And to
know that we're leaving them to that and that even
more challenges are coming, it was really hard.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
So we played the trailer at the beginning of this
Ya Bravo. It pulls you right in. How can people
find this because there's lots of different ways to get
You can even own a copy of it.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Absolutely, So it comes out tomorrow Friday.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
It'll be on Apple, It'll be on Amazon, It'll be
on Google Play, any pay per view outlet, you know,
any on cable tv, pay per view, anywhere where you
can find movies, just about you'll be able to find it.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
And yeah, you can buy it or rent it.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Awesome. Mike Dorsey, thank you so.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
Much, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
So interesting listening to his story and what that was like.
He's right, I mean, you've bound's in there, and there's
no way to get there except for the way he did.
Of course, all hell breaks loose and they're doing this
doc and you have to really see it to get
that sense of what's happening there and sentiment, some sentiment
(28:19):
has changed here in this country about Ukraine, because remember
it seemed like, wow, what is going on with Russia
and Russia and Ukraine and this idea of meeting for
peace talks and the push of Trump was pushing that,
and there was that big hope and then things turned
(28:39):
completely in the opposite direction. At the end of July,
though we just a couple of weeks ago, a week
and a half ago, Russia and Ukraine met again. There
was that push to see something happen, but it was
a delegation, right, and there was no personal meeting between
President Zelenski of Ukraine and Vladimir Putin whatsoever. So at
(29:06):
this point, with what's going on, I think there are
more questions than answers. And from Trump's part, his patience
has been running very thin with this because every time
he had had a phone call in the past with Putin,
(29:27):
it seemed promising, and then it would be the complete opposite,
as he himself said, of what was happening, when all
of a sudden they would be back there with the drones,
going after the innocence, if you will. And so things
changed there, and you really get that sense and you
(29:47):
understand what it's like for the people in this very special,
special special documentary by the way, because here we are
August first, right, were at the last day of July
and into August Firth first. Rather, the President on Thursday
unveiled a bunch of new tariffs targeting exports from dozens
(30:09):
of trading partners with plans to escalate, and unless some
of these countries acquiesce and cut some sort of a deal,
some steep tariff some more than sixty countries was snap
into place on August seventh, specifically, and Canada is no exception.
(30:34):
There's been a lot of back and forth with Canada.
Canada had hoped to remove all terrorfts through negotiations. There
was a tiny bit of relief when the President announced
he was raising his general tariff against Canadian goods to
thirty five percent because of all of the goods the
tariff doesn't cover.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
But as was the case.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
With the twenty five percent tariff it replaces, the thirty
five percent tariff won't be charged on exports that meet
the United States, Mexico, Canada's agreement, so they're not tariffed
at all. However, auto steel, aluminum all that covered by
other Trump tariffs. Hey, it's Kate Delaney here. As you

Speaker 5 (32:09):
A.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Welcome to the Zinger Zone.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
This is where we test out these incredible one liners
that I've been working on all week long, just prepared
for all of you this time around.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Here's what the focus is. Gold. I think you get it.
(32:43):
Gold is the focus.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
And why because I saw a story about a massive
gold nugget that is headed for auction. Yeah, the nugget
weighs fifty three point sixty seven troy ounces, so that
would be three point seven pounds. What do you think
something like that would sell for Hmmm, I'm gonna say
(33:07):
herotage just putting it up and they're gonna get some
serious coin for it. The estimate is, and this is
from a private collection from somebody in Oregon. It is
the estimate is two hundred thousand and up. And it
has folds. It's like leafy, you know that. That's how
(33:29):
the metal is and the way it's grown. It's kind
of looks like an art piece. It's over five and
a half inches long and it's really this gold yellow
kind of luster, and the it's cool looking, I have
to say that, So it's a pretty valuable the size,
(33:50):
it's a it would be a treasure and an appeal
to somebody who was into gold. But I don't know
how much in the end you're gonna pay for because
I think there's gonna be a lot of bids. All right,
let's roll out these one liners. How about this? Why
did the pirate wear gold earrings because he couldn't afford
(34:13):
silver ones? Why did the gold coin go to therapy?
Of course, it had separation anxiety. What did the gold
(34:34):
say to the bank, I'm worth my weight in money?
Why did the lepre Kahn hide his gold in the freezer?
My friends, he went in some cold cash. Why did
(34:55):
the gold coin refuse to listen to music? It didn't
want to change it tune? All right, I'm just gonna
build this as this is my favorite of all of them.
Why did the goldsmith go on a diet? He wanted
to lose some carrots? Of course? Absolutely. What do you
(35:24):
call a gold coin that tells jokes? A funny currency?
Speaker 3 (35:37):
All right?
Speaker 10 (35:37):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Why did the gold chain refuse to join the dance party?
It didn't want to link up with the wrong crown.
Howbout this one? How did the gold bar feel after
winning the lottery?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Like a million bucks?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I hope you're amused out there. Oh, please tell me
you're amused. So what do you call it? Gold bar?
With a sense of humor? A witty bullyon? How did
the gold necklace feel when it was worn? Choked with compliments?
(36:33):
Some of you might relate to this. Why did the
pirate bury his gold in the garden? He wanted to
grow a money tree?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Come on, I know some of you growing up.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I don't care if you're in your twenties, thirties, forties, fifties,
sixties year older.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Did you ever hear the comment is? What do you think?
We have a money tree in the backyard? Money tree?
Now there's the money tree.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
How did the gold coin react when it found a penny?
Oh penny for your thinks. Yeah, that's when I get
down to the nitty gritty and it's like three o'clock
in the morning, and I'm like, I gotta write this.
I gotta come up with some more jokes. I think
I heard this one. I know, because you know some
(37:19):
of these jokes. I'm sure are out there because some
of them are so elementary. Here's the punchline. Here's what
you think of when you write down everything related to
related to gold. I like this one. What did the
gold bar say to the treasure chest? Open up?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I'm the bullionaire? And then I have this one.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
What did one gold adam say to the other during
a chemistry lesson? We're elemental to the equation? I have
just a couple. I'm giving you a lot. This is
probably annoying. What did the gold chain say to the pennant?
Together were a priceless combination? And then one more, why
(38:13):
did the gold statue go to the art gallery? It
wanted to see it's golden piers.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Thank you very much, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Let's put a few tips in the jar, or buy
me a cup of coffee.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
By the way, if you missed anything like those precious jokes,
remember you can always get the podcasts, even though it's
awesome to absorb the show on these fabulous affiliates.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
I know how it is.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
What did she say? What was that cheesy joke? Who
was that interview with? Wait a second, I missed the
Sports and the man Cave? How without that author. That's
pretty interesting. So this is what you do. You go
to Kate Delaney Radio.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
With extra Sauce the sauce.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Again, Kate Delenny Radio with extra Sauce the sauce. So
that's the highlight package for you. And it's on where
you can imagine. So you think of Apple, you think
of Spriaker, you can go to Spotify and you can
find it there. Just punch it in boom and there
(39:23):
you are. Can fast forward to your favorite spot or
what you missed, or listen to the whole thing when
you're running in this extreme heat. Hopefully you're not running
too far in the extreme heat. I had a couple
of quickies here for you.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Though.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
It's sad to hear this story about Justin Timberlake who
says he's going to press on with touring as long
as he can because he's got a debilitating lime disease.
He found out that he was shocked he found out
he had lime disease. So he's had this year plus
long to forget Tomorrow World tour And in wrapping up,
(39:58):
he shared with his fans that he has some health issues,
including the lyme disease. He said it can be relentlessly debilitating.
He said, it's hard on him mentally and physically. He
said when he first got the diagnosis, he was shocked,
but he could understand why all of a sudden, he'd
be on stage and he'd have this massive amount of
nerve pain, or he would just feel really crazy fatigued,
(40:22):
or feel like he just had some kind of.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Weird sickness, and it was so bad.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
At one point he thought, I got a bandon this tour,
but he didn't want to do it. He wanted to
because even last year he had a number of dates
that he had to change because he had bronchitis or
laryngitis or something else he was dealing with. And he's
liked touring and he's fleeting stress to his body. It
makes him feel happy, and he wanted to continue to
(40:50):
do what he could. But you know, he's been doing
it for thirty plus years. You think of the bands
that he was with, the boy band and what you know,
how long he's been touring here and there. So what
a sad thing. Lime disease. If you don't know it,
(41:10):
I mentioned it in the previous hour. It's a bacteria
transferred by infected ticks when they bite humans. Some people
could be more prone to it if you look it up,
because now, of course we look up everything. If you
go to the Mayo Clinic and look it up, it'll
say rash, fever, headaches, extreme tiredness, joint stiffness, muscle aches.
(41:31):
And there's been a weird increase in tick populations and
lime disease cases in the US has gone up, especially
in the New York area, in Michigan and in Pennsylvania.
They're getting a lot of they're getting a lot of cases.
And yeah, it'd be tough to deal with that because
anytime you have some we all know this, I mean, right,
(41:54):
anytime you have something happen, what's the first thing, especially
if you've really been been working on you yourself to
be in the best shape ever.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
But I go to the gym even though.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
I'm exhausted, I you know, walk the dog four miles
a day, whatever it is, and then you get these
diagnosises and you're.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
Like wow, And he was.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
He was really shocked by that, and that's how he
portrayed that, certainly to that very very supportive, supportive, supportive audience.
All right, coming up, we we got a couple of
great interviews with you, including Pam McGhee Wilkinson. She's gonna
tell you about this singer who I never heard of,
who will blow your mind. She's written a couple of
(42:36):
books about him. Next, I'm so pleased to welcome to
author's Corner Pamela McGhee Wilkinson her book, The Princess of
(43:00):
Cyrus Hill. It's something we're going to talk about here,
and I love princesses and boys. She did such a
good job with this and the story is fascinating, So
congratulations on the book, and I'm so glad you're hanging
out with us here on America Tonight with me Kay Delaney.
Pam tell us about the Princess, Well, she was.
Speaker 5 (43:22):
Born from the idea that my granddaughter who moved to
the southwestern part of England in two thousand and one,
she was about two and three quarters years old. Her
parents are there because her dad's going to get a
degree in Shakespeare in Works at Exeter University. And I
(43:43):
was talking to her one day and she had this
cute little British accent all of a sudden, which meant
I couldn't understand hardly anything she said. So when I
got back on the phone with her mother. I said,
what happened to her? I can't understand her. Oh, she's
picked up a British accent because she goes to primary
school and she's talking to little five and you know,
three year olds and with their cute little accents, and
(44:05):
so I immediately thought, oh, there's my cute little English princess.
Right about three weeks later, I get a package from
my daughter that has a lot of information in it
that I can put in this what do you call it?
I'm putting together a Oh I forgot the word, but anyway,
I'm collecting stuff and putting it together so that I
(44:26):
can keep memories of their time in England. And the
package came open. When the package was open, there was
a postcard there and it was like a not really
a regular map of Southwest England, but it was like
a cartoon version and I saw Exeter on there. And
(44:47):
then all of a sudden, I saw my cute little
English princess, my granddaughter grom Me in the countryside, and
I go, I need to write a poem about this
little princess. So I sat down and pen in hand
and wrote the poem. And I don't know an hour,
hour and a half, it's done. Sent it to my daughter.
Eventually she called me because she had to do internet
(45:10):
cafe back in two thousand and one. She called me.
She goes Mom, Matt and I her husband at the time.
We just opened your email and oh my gosh, Mom,
where did that poem come from? And I'm like, uh, sweetie,
it's called inspiration. And my little granddaughter was the inspiration.
The postcard that you sent was inspiration. And it just
(45:32):
came and they were actually had actually been sniffling. She
was crying over it, and I thought that was fun.
But anyway, one thing led to another, and twenty years later,
I mean, I printed it often went in all my files.
I've been writing poetry since eighty four or eighty five,
and it just went in a file. In September twenty twenty,
I decided, I think I'll go on and adventure and
(45:54):
publish a book, and it's probably going to be that poem.
So I go through all my poems, my writings, and
I go, yep, this is it. So I started that
process and next thing you know, it's April of twenty
twenty one, and it's out there. It's seventeen stands as long.
I can't talk too much about it because I don't
(46:15):
want to give away too much of the book. But
it's a pre Pewbescent princess called the Princess of Cyrus Hill,
and she is off out in the land that she
belongs to, just having adventure after adventure. So each sometimes
each sentence is another adventure. Not just a stanza, but
(46:37):
each sentence. So that's the story of the Princess of
Cyrus Hill for me. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
Yeah, I love it. Pick up this book because it's
very clever, well done. Kids would absolutely love it. I
think of like five little girls. I just told somebody
the other day and they were going to get it.
So you're talking about a twelve year old and we
won't tell anything, just running around in the countryside, and
what happened. She's royalty. Just put that in your brain.
She's royalty. That's what you have to think about, for sure.
(47:05):
And you mentioned it. You've been writing poetry, you know,
for a long time, since nineteen eighty five, and you're
a collector of such interesting things too, and you told
me about this incredible, incredibly talented man. I'm Jamas Kutenberger,
and I want people to know the story of Demish.
Speaker 5 (47:29):
Yes, okay, love talking about Demosh more than I like
talking about myself. And I like talking about myself. No,
I'm teasing, of course. All right. So in twenty nineteen,
I'm watching a show on television that is a variety competition,
and we were getting My sister and I were in
on this together. She's in Louisiana and I hear, but
(47:52):
we were talking about this guy that's going to show
up on this show that is a six octive. Man. Well,
since I didn't know what an octave was, I thought,
is that kind of like the bearded lady at the circus?
Is that like rare? What is that all about? So
I had to look up octaves and he's seeing six
out of seven? He is now seven octave plus many semitones. Well,
(48:13):
so I discovered him and I followed him. But other people,
many other people, including a lot of Chinese fans, discovered
him in twenty seventeen. So I won't go into all that,
but thankfully for that particular competition, I got to this
CBS show found out about him, and that means I
found out about him. Now I am one of millions
(48:33):
and millions of fans who followed Demash practically like we're
stalking him. I mean, there's if anything gets dropped on
a Facebook fan page, or if he does anything on Instagram,
we are all over him and talking about it. In
fifteen months into my fandom, I saw this picture of
(48:54):
his throat, and as soon as I saw it, I thought, well,
there's that golden throat. Oh my gosh, I think I'm
not read. I think I'll write a poem about his
golden throat. So I did. I wrote the poem, and
I posted a lot on I don't know three Facebook
fan pages, got some nice attention, but I thought that
was it. You know, the term a one off. I
(49:15):
thought that was a one off and I was not
going to be doing anything else in the future. A
couple of days later, there's another something that makes me go,
I think I'll write a poem about that. And the
next thing, you know, I've got twenty one poems, three skits,
and a lot of things that I refer to as
thoughtful expressions and humorous musings. I like to go for
(49:36):
humor most of the time. And someone said, you really
how to put that in a book? And what kind
of book would that be and I can give us
some thought. I said, well, I guess it'd be a
fan book. If you look up the genre of FanBook,
entertainment or poetry, you might find that book. But it's
called I Am Music, which is I'm not the music.
(49:57):
Demosters the music. He's always said, I music. If you
were to cut me open, musical notes would just fly
out of my body. I Am Music, My Journey with
Demash Kuteberg and the Best Singer in the World. That
was the first edition that came out in April twenty
twenty one. A year A little over a year later,
I published another book based on two poems that were
(50:18):
in the first edition of I Am Music, and that
became a book. So I published that in June twenty
twenty two, and then it moved into When I got
that author's copy in my hand, I thought, oh, my gosh,
if this was a puzzle, it's missing some pieces. And
I decided I'm going to have to write a script.
(50:41):
And then I said, what the heck I've been thinking
the whole time I was writing that book. Oh, by
the way, that's called a Themash Kuteberg and Fable. The
Sculptor's masterpiece. The whole time I was writing that book,
I felt like I was writing a movie, and you
could make a script out of that movie. Well I did.
I decided to just write a screenplay, and when it
(51:01):
was finished, I was in the process of republishing the
im Music Book and I just called it a second edition,
so that script is in the back. But Demache is
seven octave singer. He's from Kazakhstan. He's tall, handsome, and
probably one of the nicest guys anybody would ever meet.
(51:22):
Very humble. He will not brag about his octaves. I
have yet to hear him say, yeah, I'm seven octaves
and a few semintones. He won't do it because that
sounds like bragging. And he's been taught all of his
life to be humble. And we appreciate the humility, but
we know better. We know exactly all the octaves that
(51:43):
he sings, and we appreciate it. He also, he has
said before, let's not talk about the octaves. Those are
just tools that I use. What I want to do
is bring you into my world and take you to
another place, and boy does he ever do it. Now.
Other things about him, composer, lyricist, script writer. You have
(52:06):
to check out that thirteen minute video on his YouTube channel.
He wrote the entire script in the entire movie. It's
literally an eleven minute song and he Cary he handles
all of the octaves in that thing. It's an amazing
piece of work. Seven instruments. The ones that we see
(52:28):
the most are the dombra, which is a two string
instrument that's very popular in Kazakhstan, the piano and the drums,
and of course he can do the keyboard too. I
don't know about the other three or four. But you know,
he says, he says he's not an expert at all
these instruments. But we again, we beg to disagree with him.
(52:51):
So yeah, he's just been an inspiration. I'm one of
millions of fans. Let me just make this clear, millions
of fans that feel the same way and follow him
and support him. I've had published postcards and bookmarks with
his QR code in it and literally given it to
one hundred and fifty strangers down here in southwest Utah. Hey,
(53:15):
do you know who the best thing in the world is?
And I generally don't like their answers because it's not right.
They're not right. It actually is Demascuit Orgon of Causes Gone.
Here's his QR code. Check them out, go to his website.
If you don't fall in love with him, there's something
wrong with you. So yeah, so that's him. So I've
been on a great journey for six years. There's not
(53:38):
a day that has gone by that I have not
listened to at least one song, if not twenty. Again,
I'm not any different from anybody else. The only thing
that makes me different is I've published some books about him.
So we've got the first edition that I Am Music,
the second edition the Fable Book. So we've got three
(53:59):
books out there, and of course cute little children's book
Us out there.
Speaker 1 (54:02):
Yes, I love it. I want to tell everybody, because
we're almost out of time, go ahead and get this
and you will not be disappointed. I'm so glad we
got to tell both of those stories. The Presidence of
Cyrus Hill. Of course, it's the other one we talked about.
Go and check it out and get it on Barnes
and Noble, Amazon, wherever great books are sold. Pam, you
are a delight, Thank.
Speaker 10 (54:20):
You, thank you, I appreciate you. You have a great day.
Speaker 1 (54:40):
Megan Teaman joins us now and she is a captive
Wildlife specialist for the PETA Foundations Captive Animal Law Enforcement Division,
So she's here to talk about what about when you're
on the road and you take a road trip this summer,
Pete is advising why to drive right on by the
road roadside animal attractions, which you see them right So,
(55:04):
thank you so much for hopping on with us, Meigan.
Speaker 7 (55:07):
Of course, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (55:09):
So when we're talking about that, when I mentioned roadside
animal attractions, what are people most likely going to see?
Speaker 7 (55:18):
Yeah, so, like you mentioned, it's summertime. There's so many
vacations and traveling happening, and we're likely to see on
the side of the road some advertisements or billboards for
places that allow interactions with animals or photo opportunities or
drive through parks, you know. And these are going to
(55:39):
be held at facilities that we call roadside dudes, and
they are unaccredited facilities that are often keeping their animals
in horrible conditions, whether the enclosures are incredibly small or concrete.
A lot of them do not have access to proper
vetinary care or even adequate diet. So we're just warning
(56:02):
everybody who cares about animals to stay away from facilities
like this.
Speaker 1 (56:07):
Yeah, and I mean, and I guess you can find
them all over the place, right, We're talking across the
whole country.
Speaker 7 (56:12):
Yeah. Absolutely, And they may be in big cities or
they may be literally on the side of the road.
But again, these are places that are not providing the
best standard of care for the animals who live there,
So we're just encouraging people to stay away from them.
Some major red flags that you're going to see are
(56:32):
if the animals are forced to perform any type of
trick or show, or if the animals are forced to
do photo opportunities, especially babies. These animals are just you know,
they're wild animals. They don't want to be pet or
touched or held by humans. It's incredibly stressful and it's
(56:55):
incredibly dangerous for everybody involved.
Speaker 1 (56:58):
Yeah, So when we're talking about this, how many animals
has pee to rescued and what kinds We've.
Speaker 7 (57:04):
Helped rescue hundreds of animals from across the country from
these roadside zoos that now live happily at accredited sanctuaries
where they're getting the care they deserve. And we've seen
everything from the cats and bear to smaller reptiles and
exotic birds, tortoises and things like that. We've really seen
(57:28):
it all. And like I said, now that they're able
to have access to grass and access to proper diet
and proper venary care, some of these animals have never
seen that before.
Speaker 1 (57:40):
Yeah, and you know people talk about petting zoos and
the whole selfie opportunity that you could have. Are they
dangerous or hazardous?
Speaker 7 (57:49):
Absolutely, any type of contact between humans and wild animals
is potentially dangerous. These animals, we've seen them. When they
get scared or or if they're stressed out about something,
they're going to react and try to protect themselves and
they'll do that by biting and scratching and kicking. So
we've seen so many cases where adults and children have
(58:14):
been injured even hospitalized because of these injuries. And they're
so much more as well. You know, these animals can
spread zoonotic diseases. They are just like I said, not
they don't want to be pet or touched. And the bigger,
(58:34):
more potentially dangerous animals once they're you know, reached a
point where they're too big or considered too dangerous. They're
just put back into these small enclosures for the rest
of their lives. So it's just not a good life
cycle for these animals that deserve so much better.
Speaker 1 (58:52):
Yeah, what are some you know, on the positive side,
what are some examples of animal friendly Some are vacation spots.
Speaker 7 (59:00):
Yeah, people can enjoy so many things that have nothing
to do with animals. You know. We can go to
the beach, or we can go to parks. So many
circuses now have gone animal free. It's so great to
see that. And there's just so many choices that we
can make as people that can positively help animals. And
(59:23):
if we can just avoid these roadside doos, and if
we do want to see animals because they are amazing
and we do want to learn about them, we need
to support these accredited facilities, these true sanctuaries that are
rescuing the animals from these horrible situations and they're giving
them the life that they should have. You know, it's
(59:45):
not it's not the wild, but when they can't be
in the wild, they need to be given the best
standard of care and that's going to be at these
accredited sanctuaries.
Speaker 1 (59:56):
So if people want to know more. Where can it go?
Speaker 7 (59:57):
Megan, every co got our website at Peter dot org
slash roadside Dudes, and that'll give everyone a little bit
more information.
Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Awesome, thank you, thank you. And finally we closed the
show with some ubis what I call ubiquitous bits of
information that I think you'll find super super interesting my friends. Right,
so check this out. An Argentine police officer made some
bucks after his nude butt was put on the internet.
(01:00:30):
So he was hanging out in the nude and what
he thought was the privacy of yes, his own garden
because look, he has a six and a half foot fence.
A Google street View camera happened by and guess what
they called His body, house number, and street name not
only appeared online, but then they were shared in an
Argentinian news clip across social media, so you can imagine
(01:00:52):
what that led to. Initially, his claims were dismissed and
appeals judge agreed it was a blatant invasion though of
prime see as he was in his own yard for
goodness sake, behind a fence taller than the average person.
So we got twelve thousand, five hundred dollars. I think
he should have gotten more. Google has more money than that.
It's true. Look your home up somewhere and you can
(01:01:13):
see usually it's probably older photos of the view they's
taken taken, but they redo them too. How about this.
Starbucks said yet no more pick up only stores. They
had ninety of them and they're closing them. The CEO,
Brian Nicol, says the seating free shops were overly transactional. Duh,
(01:01:36):
and they lacked duh, the warmth and human connection that
defines our brand. Starbucks has been slumping in the same
store sales for six consecutive quarters. Knock, knock, who's there.
People want connection. We are so so so isolated, and
ever since the pandemic and then people working remotely. It's
(01:02:00):
a plus a lot of people. And it's not even
an age thing. It can be older people, It certainly
can be younger people. I think it spans from like
mid twenties, maybe even maybe younger than that. Where you
like Starbucks, you like the coffee, You got to finish
some report, so you'll go and you'll buy the coffee,
(01:02:20):
and you'll buy a scone or whatever they have and
sit there and hang out, maybe for an hour or so.
If it's a transactional thing, and it's just to go
pick up the coffee. You're not meeting someone there, you're
not running to get to work. I think in a
lot of cases when people go into stores, that's what
the deal is. But also when they're running and they're
picking up coffee and they're taking it if they actually
(01:02:42):
do work somewhere in a building. The thing about that
is a lot of times they'll take orders for other people.
You know, they'll get a whole bunch of orders. But
for sure, you look around the stores, I mean look
any everywhere you go, you see Starbucks, whether you're in
a rural area or a big suburban area or a
huge city. Everyone I've gone in, whether it's San Antonio,
(01:03:04):
whether it's New Orleans, whether it's Cherry Hill, New Jersey,
whether they're in Saint Petersburg, Florida, wherever, I always see
people in there, and sometimes you can tell they're just
meeting a friend. And there's no doubt I can see
why the drive through thing just wouldn't work out. That's
not their brand. You know, there are donut places, and
(01:03:24):
usually they're local and they might have a little bit
of a store, but the whole idea is like Dunkin Donuts.
They have a little bit of a store, but they
also are really a drive through thing. All I got
to finish with this one. This is cool. So there's
been this new deal for a lot of people. It's
been around, but movie and video game concerts. So check
this out. You know, music and film of course are related.
(01:03:47):
Think of Jaws. We play that theme and you know
exactly what it is. So fans are going to concerts
where the scores from their favorite films and their series
and even video games are actually performed live. John Ki,
the CEO of Black Ink Presents, they specialize in IP
based live shows, told a thing that I read called
(01:04:08):
The Hustle that they were probably ten to fifteen. There
were probably ten to fifteen shows that they did annually,
like in twenty ten. Now they're up to two thousand
shows worldwide and they're seeing alone already six hundred shows
this year. It makes sense because you want to if
you want to be interactive, if you want to go
(01:04:29):
to an event and you like the music, then there's
that whole thing there. You go, you go grab some dinner,
you go hang out, and especially younger people if they're
looking for an experience. This would work, but I think
even older people or people with kids if it's like
a Disney movie. All Right, we have done it. We
are out of the show. This was a lot of fun. Everybody.
