Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hurricane Aaron is really packing a punch. North Carolina under
a state of emergency, people ordered to evacuate, and the
riptides have been crazy. In a place called Wrightsville, they
had over ten rescues because of the riptides. Hey, everybody,
(00:32):
another Dame Paradise in these United States, Kate Delady here
on at and the Shark Quterie board of talk radio.
So that is the deal. Dangerous waves and rip currents,
giant red flags all over the beaches. To not at
all think that you can combat riptides, not just warning
(00:54):
saying don't do it. In fact, talking to my relatives
who were in in Corolla, North Carolina, on the outer
banks the previous week, they said that there were a
couple of different patrols that were going up and down
the beach with a megaphone saying the sheriff will arrest
(01:16):
you if you go deep into the water. So serious.
I mean, look, you even have the New Jersey governor
saying don't go in the water. And the reason for
that is not because people are completely stupid. It's because
in our minds, we're going to the beach. It's a
beautiful day. Do you see the sun? Do you see
(01:36):
the weather. Are you kidding? There's nothing wrong, there's not
these it's not a tsunami. And they go to the
beach and they think there's no riptide. What are they
talking about? Because a riptide is so hard for people
to understand and for people to see. So you heard
the storm here in the studio that we played for you.
(01:58):
So the storm is not going to make land fall
on the East Coast, but it's triggered a tropical storm
warning for those Outer Banks mandatory VAX as I said,
for a lot of people living in the Outer Banks
and people that are visiting. They're gonna get heavy rain,
winds over forty to fifty miles an hour, and a
storm surge of two to four feet this week. There's
(02:18):
already a high surf advisory that's been issued. You've got
these large, giant breaking waves that are maybe up to
twenty feet in the forecast. Coastal damage is likely from
the large waves destroying some of those protective dunes. Flooding
will extend inland, likely impacting a lot of roads for sure.
(02:42):
And I told you about Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina,
And now that was just Monday that I was telling
you about right. But now you add up all the
days and I just had a buddy text me this
while we're on the air. Fifty people all together. That
is the official number. Fifty people have been rescued at
this point. No swimming is recommended popular beaches of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware,
(03:08):
where I grew up. Why Wood, New Jersey, banning swimming
period because of the rough surf, saying you cannot do it.
In New York City, they're closing all the beaches for
swimming on Wednesday and Thursday. No one wants to mess
with the riptide I told you about Jersey. The governor there,
Phil Murphy, telling all beach goers in the state avo
(03:32):
avoid the ocean this week. We're gonna see a lot
of flooding on the back end of this. So waves
are starting to pick up from Florida to the outer
Banks and then going all the way up to New
Jersey and maybe a little bit beyond that too. But
twenty feet in the Carolinas as it passes over the
(03:52):
outer Banks. Wow, you're gonna see some serious, serious beach erosion.
My friends. If you go to the out banks, you
might not recognize some of those places. You might not
recognize Myrtle Beach, some of the beaches there, Hatteras, You're
not going to recognize Hatteras. I hope not. I hope
that there's a little bit more of a turn and
(04:13):
we don't see as much beach erosion. I've seen what
hurricanes can do to beaches. We move on from that
front to a different front, and we're talking about what's
going on in Ukraine and is there going to be
this meeting between Zelenski and Putin? Is there anything that's
(04:35):
happening to make that a little bit closer. The White
House is saying Putin promise to meet with Zelenski soon.
But in the meantime, you have attacks on the Ukraine.
Russia launched two hundred and eighty drones and missiles overnight
according to the Ukrainian Air Force. So nothing is letting
(04:55):
up there, in fact saying oil refining and gas facilities specifically,
we're targeted. They were attacked, which is a direct violation
of international humanitarian law. I happen to catch this today
and flipping around Robert Wilkie, you might remember him. He's
a former Undersecretary of Defense during the first term for
(05:20):
President Trump and I think he really sums it up
so well, here's what he thinks this will boil down to.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
If we can underpin Ukraine with security guarantees, particularly from
the Europeans, and that might include inclusion into the European
Union itself, not NATO, then you would have the chance
that Ukraine can prosper behind an armistice line. But that's
(05:49):
only going to come if Putin believes that Western weapons
will be flowing to the Ukrainians. And also economic saying
in the terms in the sense that American energy independence
will be unleashed on the world and drive down the
price of Russian.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Oil, still a big question mark at this point. Nothing
new that's concrete on that front. This happened from Flight
Mayares Air Canada gradually resuming flights. They had to cancel
hundreds more flights because there wasn't a solid agreement, So
(06:29):
multiple days of cancelations, derailing, delaying, and messing with thousands
of people's travel plans. In fact, some people stuck where
they were trying to rearrange travel back to Canada or
even the United States. We know at the heart of
this ten thousand flight attendants refused to go to work
despite a government order on Sunday, and of course what
(06:52):
are they disputing wages in unpaid labor. So Air Canada's
component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees or the
acronym is CUPE. They say the carriers wages are below
inflation market value and the federal minimum wage. So they're
saying flight attendants have to be paid for groundwork. That
(07:13):
includes anything that's performed prior to takeoff and after landing,
which is ridiculous that they're not sorry that they're not
paid for that. Does that seem odd to you? You
look at the American flights, the planes out of an
American base, and all of them pay for that. So
the news is it's about stabilizing what has just happened
(07:37):
and cutting this deal. So there are going to be
flights that are gonna be canceled over the next seven
to ten days. They're trying to size everything. If you
because there are definitely people that fly Air Canada out
of the United States, if you are in one of them,
do I need to tell you need to check to
see if in fact it's going to happen. Let's put
(08:00):
it that way. And I got to bring this up.
How about Minnesota. They're suing TikTok. They're saying it praise
on young people with addictive algorithms. Don't we live in
the land of addictive algorithms, So what specifically has happened?
They're joining a wave of states actually that are saying
the app is harming young people's mental health. Minnesota Attorney
(08:25):
General Keith Ellison said at a news conference it's actually
about deception, manipulation, misrepresentation. It's a company knowing the dangers
and the dangerous effects of its product, but making and
taking no steps to mitigate those harms or infirm inform
rather users of the risks. I wonder how far that
(08:46):
suit will go. Birthdays in the like on the flip
coming at we have the they were popular birthdays. Boy,
I skip it a couple of times, and I'm getting
emails from Martha from bo and there was someone else
(09:09):
to skip who mentioned, Hey, who's celebrating birthday today? How
about that? Rabbits in Colorado have been spotted with horns. No,
it's not the National Inquirer or TMZ or something else.
It's real. They have these horns because of this benign
(09:30):
virus known as the chop Pepa Morovs virus. I don't
even know if I'm saying that correctly, and it causes
like these wart kind of tumors. So the little cute
cottontail bunnies, Oh, they look so bad. It's so awful
to see them. I mean, some of them just have
(09:52):
these horns that look like somebody was abusing them and
stuck it on their heads. And then some of them
it's worse. It's just grotesque. They have horns or like
these tentacles. And it's mostly spread by insects like fleas
and mosquitoes, and it's definitely, I guess, more prevalent during
(10:13):
the summer months. But boy, a lot of them are
showing up in the great State of Colorado. It reminded
me of Monty python and their rabbits.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
That's the most fault.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Cool and bad temper.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Wouldn't you ever say?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Eyes on kit, I saw my alma.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I was so scared that habit's got a fish of
street a mile wide.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
It's get stop.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He'll do you a cheat mate, monkey a waning you?
What's he doing? Nibilelyr bum, He's got sheet shut he
can leap about. Look at the bones, Look at the bones.
I mean, these bones are so crazy and people are
(11:01):
posting all kinds of photos of them and you see
their big, big pretty eyes, and you feel so badly
for these bunnies. Right, I guess it has no significant
effects on the wild rabbits unless it interferes with eating
or drinking, so it doesn't it doesn't do anything to
these poor cottontails. And they say the thing that's interesting.
(11:22):
They say that the rabbits can survive the viral infection.
The growth will go away when the virus goes away,
So unless they can't eat or drink, they're actually gonna
be okay. Thank you Colorado Parks and wildlife. And also
good to know it's not harmful to humans, So no
(11:46):
problem whatsoever with that. Whatever search engine you use, you
gotta go to it, you gotta check it out. It is.
I had no idea. It is really kind of freaky,
but I guess more painful for us to look at
than the rabbits to deal with it themselves. All right.
(12:07):
For everybody who wanted to hear birthdays, it's time to
roll him out. So who's celebrating a birthday today? If
you are, happy, happy birthday to you. Go buy yourself
a piece of cake if nobody else will. Fat Joe
(12:27):
do you know who Fat Joe is? That's his stage name.
He's a rapper. It's good. He's a good rapper. He
is fifty five years old. Yeah, you know. He he
got a lot of help from people who thought his
stuff was so, so, so good and got signed. I
(12:50):
want to say he got signed like in the nineties,
in the late nineties, and his debut single was Flow
Joe and it topped the Billboard Hot one hundred and
the Hot Rap Songs Chart two is as well. And
he's appeared in a bunch of films and so some
(13:10):
of you would recognize his face. I guarantee it Scary
Movie three, Happy Feet also, She's got to have It.
That's another one that you know that he he was in.
But he's one of those He's one of those artists
that spreads across different genre, like there's obviously a difference
(13:33):
between hardcore hip hop and rap, and that's him. I mean, songwriter, actor,
record producer, fifty five years old, also celebrating a birthday.
One of my favorites because I got to talk to
him once and he was a very normal guy. But
(13:54):
John Stamos. That's not why he's my favorite, though. I
think he's talented John Stamos actor and a musician. He
of course was on one hundred years ago General Hospital,
I think when I was in middle school and then
maybe the beginning of high school, and he kind of
got known I think there, and then he was on
(14:17):
Full House, which was huge for him. So full House
was a big one. Er. He's on Er, He's did
a bunch of Broadway, He's done a bunch of television,
other television. Two, he's been in a bunch of different movies.
Sixty two again, sixty two years old, and he he
(14:39):
credits his family. You know, he is a second generation
His father is a second generation Greek American restaurant guy,
and he grew up in Arcadia in Greece and some
of that whole work ethic and everything else. Most credits
(15:00):
his dad for so pretty interesting. And I'm so surprised
that he is sixty two years old. Former President Bill
Clinton is seventy nine years old. So once again, if
you're celebrating a birthday, happy happy birthday to you.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
I got a you.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah, bring out the party horns. Can we hear that again?
All right, this is one that will fascinate your friends.
Ubiquitous bit of information. I come across them all day long.
Here's a good one. What is the rarest eminem color.
(15:43):
I'll give you a second to think about that. Well,
I take a sip of water. Rarest color. I got
this wrong. I've been asked this now. I of course
know it. It's emblazoned in my brain. But when you
open a bag of em and m's, you know the brown,
the yellows, the reds, the greens, et cetera. You know
(16:03):
what is the one that is the one you don't
see as much? So if you look at the current data,
brown eminem's account for just over thirteen percent of a
standard bag, making them the rarest of all the current colors.
At one point in the late nineties, I don't know
(16:23):
what happened to mister brown, they would be thirty percent
of the bag. And that's why I did. It throws
me off because it's like brown M and ms. I mean,
we see brown eminems. What are you talking about? But now, no,
it's been the it's been the reverse. It's a whole
branding thing, right, So there are other colors that are
(16:45):
more popular the greens, the reds, the yellows. I mean,
you get it. We don't have to go too deep
on this, but I thought I thought it was pretty interesting.
I don't know, let's put it that way. If we
wanted to talk about, you know, we want to talk
about a thing that you just just doesn't pop into
(17:07):
your head that brown is that is that color? I
wouldn't think of that at all. And this is also
pretty interesting to me too, because we have you know,
every day is a national something day and usually more
of a something something something day, so four or five
or six things, and of all things, today is National
Potato Day. It is an incredible versatile vegetable. Oh I know,
(17:31):
I grew up on them, baked, fried, mashed, yeah, any
way you can imagine. But I think what is interesting
about potatoes is the average American eats one hundred and
eleven pounds of potatoes every year. Doesn't that sound like
a lot to me? Sounds like a lot to me.
And of course, where do we get most of our potatoes?
(17:53):
Do I need to tell you that people are listening?
In this state Idaho, four hundred and twelve pounds of
Idaho potatoes are sold every second every second. My friends, Wow,
that's a lot. It's a whole lot. And there's different
kinds of potatoes. If you go to the store, you
(18:13):
obviously realize that if someone says, hey, go get some potatoes,
you kind of got to ask, what variety are we
talking about? Gold? Are we're talking about reds? But what
are we talking about Russett? What are we talking about?
You have to specify. And of course when is the
biggest time for the sales of the potato. Between Thanksgiving
(18:34):
and New Year's Day. More Idaho potatoes are sold then
than any other time in the year because creamy mashed
potatoes for Thankgiving, of course, all kinds of things, for
all the celebrations. That whole window is when potatoes are
(18:56):
definitely the side dish. Now I know your take away
a piece of something fascinating, fascinating from this show. Hang
with us. I'm gonna remind you about the sauce and
a couple of other things as well. All right, boy,
(19:37):
this is fascinating. Think about this. IBM, the IBM Institute
did this business value study which is full of incredible gems,
and they found out, despite the challenges, CEOs are doubling
down on AI, and there's so much valuable content in
this That's why I'm thrilled that we have Selima in
(20:00):
on with us Managing Partner Strategy M and A Transformation
and Thought Leadership IBM Consulting and Boys shares the goods
on this. So Selima, thanks for hanging with us.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So what are the top priorities? With all that said,
as I said, you did this really chunky business value
study and what you found out? What are the top
priorities for CEOs this year?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Yeah, So we've actually been doing this study KPE for
twenty two years, so we have a longitudinal data. We've
interviewed more than thirty thousand CEOs over that time period,
and this year we're seeing a clear shift in CEO priorities,
which isn't surprising given all of the geopolitical issues, the
(20:48):
economic volatility, not to mention the rapid technological changes, especially AI.
But we see three main priorities that emerged for twenty
twenty five. The first is forecast accuracy. It's at the
top of the list this year, which is really interesting
because it's up from the fourth spot last year and
(21:08):
it was actually at the bottom of the list in
twenty twenty three. The second main priority for CEOs this
year is productivity and profitability. So that's a continued focus
for leaders. It's, you know, what you would expect. And
then the third is product and service innovation, which is
really reflecting a need to stay competitive.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, and you mentioned, you know, obviously the rapid rapid
advancement of AI technology. How has all of that acceleration
influenced CEO's perspectives on AI adoption?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
So, as with many technology cycles, with AI, we're seeing
this rush to invest in AI. And this rush is
being fueled by something we've all heard about, and that's FOMO, right,
the fear of missing out. Yeah, and it's overcoming this
FOMO and moving towards so delivering value that's really important.
But what does that mean? So many organizations have deployed
(22:07):
hundreds of proof of concepts, that's pocs, right over the
course of the last couple of years. But here's the reality, right,
pocs don't necessarily deliver business results, right. They may showcase potential,
but that potential doesn't always translate into value. And so
when you asked about adoption, sixty one percent of CEOs
(22:30):
confirmed that they're actively adopting AI agents today and they're
preparing to implement them at scale. However, only twenty five
percent of these AI initiatives have delivered the expected ROI.
And so what we're seeing is that successful CEOs they're
not just measuring success by activity. They're measuring impact, right,
(22:51):
so revenue growth, customer satisfaction, market share, and the best
leaders aren't chasing every idea. They're supporting what works, but they.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Have the courage to cut what doesn't.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah. So, I mean the great follow up to that
is when you think of business as so many lots
of CEOs listen to this show and lots of business people,
how can businesses apply AI to navigate the change and
uncertainty that they're experiencing like so many of us?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yeah, absolutely so. In our studies, sixty eight percent of
CEOs say that AI is changing core aspects of their organization.
And so what this means is that success, right, won't
come from doing the same things better. We need to
optimize what works well, clear out what doesn't, and make
room for new growth. And this is where AI agents
(23:43):
can really help because they can analyze information from across
the enterprise and make recommendations about what should stay and
what should go. Now this is key because as you know,
Kate from doing the show, that CEOs are we thinking
everything right from products and services at the offer to
how they're running their businesses. And so one of the
(24:05):
questions we ask theos is if you had the opportunity
to rethink and reshape your business and how it works,
and if you could use AI to achieve that growth,
what would you do?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Great question, right, what would you do? And you think
about the barriers right for CEOs, what they face when
it comes to fully realizing the potential of AI, and
what they can do to overcome these challenges. So what
can they do? You talked about earlier about looking at
all the facts and being smart and how you implement it?
(24:40):
What implement it? Rather, what can they do to overcome
the challenges they face?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
So there are two key challenges that CEOs face as
they're doubling down on AI and trying to get a
better return on investments from AI. One is around data
and the other challenge is on people, which is interesting
right because we're talking about a technology. But let me
start with data. AI thrives on data, right, So the
(25:06):
more comprehensive and integrated, the better the data is. Unfortunately,
more than half of the CEOs in our study admit
that the rapid pace of technology investments has left them
with disconnected systems, which really limits the potential of AI
GREI To be effective, organizations really need to ensure their
(25:27):
data is accessible, it's integrated, it's high quality. So what
we would recommend is master the basics, right map your data,
find the gaps, close the weaknesses. So that's data. The
other big challenge they have is with people, and people
continue to be at the top of mind for CEOs
this year, and it's not surprising that two thirds of
the CEO say that AI is more about the people
(25:49):
than it is about the technology itself, because they really
need people who can adapt quickly and think critically and
lead amidst all of this change. A couple of data
points for you, that's interesting. A third of the workforce
needs to reskilling within the next three years. That's what
the CEOs are telling us, and over half of them
say that they're hiring for roles related to AI that
(26:10):
didn't exist a year ago. The lots of complexity around people.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Wow, so fascinating. Where can our listeners go for more information, sure,
so they can.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Go to IBM dot com for slash ibb, IBM dot
com for slash ibb. They can look at the twenty
twenty five CEO study to learn more about what you
and I just talked about. And there's also other thought
leadership about a AI on that site.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Terrific, Selma Lynn, thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
All right, great information, there no question about that. We
got some quick hits for you, and then we're going
to bounce into our last segment where it's you, you
and the tall guy in the back. Everybody hitting me
up with all kinds of things like predictions for NFL teams. Oh,
let me shake the magic eight ball, says ask again later,
(27:07):
just insert whatever team that is. But I did have
somebody ask me about the power ball and if I
knew what it was up to, so there was no
winner on Monday. It is over six hundred and forty
three million dollars. Wow, many, many, many, many, many many
many way, that's right. What do you do a cash
(27:28):
A cash payout would be two hundred and ninety point
six million, like all taxes taken out. That is serious cash.
So two people by the way, one in Arizona and
one in Texas where we have amazing listeners. Maybe it's
one of you. One one million in prizes, it's not
(27:50):
bad to win a million, right. Tickets, of course for
Powerball are forty five states. I look to make sure
where are the tickets. The odds are always the same
terrible or one in two hundred and ninety two point
two million for the top prize, you would feel really lucky.
(28:11):
You'd have to ask yourself, do you feel lucky? Because
you'd be lucky if you hit the power ball for
that much money. That is just crazy town. I think
you need time to digest it, to really realize that
you're you're defying the odds to win that kind of
a prize. I've had lottery winners. It's been a long time,
(28:33):
but I've had lottery winners on the show in the past,
and it's interesting what happens to their lives. Some of
them they just get turned upside down in a way
they didn't expect. Others, it gives them that economic freedom,
and then the ability is to help people even more
because they have such a bigger resources. And I love
(28:55):
hearing those stories. Right, I mean, you could do that
with two cents in your pocket. But the fact that
somebody hit some really incredible fortune and the fact that
they spread it out try to help charities who really
really needed good on them. Just when I started to
eat shrimp, I happen to see this today. The FDA
(29:18):
is warning us not to eat possibly radioactive shrimp sold
at Walmart. So it's what they're saying is it's this
great value raw frozen shrimp because it could have some
radioactivity in it. This isotope. Great. The US Customs and
(29:42):
Border Patrol alerted the FDA about this because they detected
it in shipping containers at not just one, not two,
not three, no my friends, four US ports, four ports,
So they're testing the frozen shrimp from the distributor. Indonesia's
(30:02):
BMS Foods also tested positive for it as well, so
it's just kind of a recall on all products from
there and what was shipped. You know, the shipping containers
tested positive one after the other after the other. So
basically it's just this flat out check your fridge just
(30:25):
in case you've got it shoved in there somewhere. Great
value brand frozen shrimp products not eaten like not at
all sold or served period. Just forget it, get rid
of it. I mean, that's it. All you have to
do is tell me that and I'm done. I'm done
(30:47):
with it. But sometimes people don't get that info. They
filter out what's happening in the world. That's why we
love doing this show, filling in the blanks. But you
get too much exposure to that that could cause death,
could cause burns and what they call a cute radiation sickness.
That makes sense for sure to me. Hey, it's Kate
(31:27):
Delaney here. As you get ready to check out the sauce.
If you're loving the show and want to keep the
good vibes and caffeine flowing, why not fuel the fun
with a virtual cup of coffee. Just one cup helps
keep the mi cot and the stories coming. Click the

(31:50):
click the link buy me a coffee dot Com slash
Katie S Delaney and be part of the behind the
scenes magic. Yeah, we get some injuries as we open
(32:12):
up the man cave with that from the NFL. I've
said this couple of times that I've been throwing them
in here and there that yes, I mean, this is
a physical game. Injuries happen, They happen during preseason games,
they happened during drills. So, for example, the Cardinals players
like Jaden Davis cornerback and Starling Thomas cornerback both placed
(32:35):
on injured reserve questionable because of a concussion or several.
JJ Russell listed as questionable right Some other injuries in
include these, so this was a big one. The Jags,
Travis Hunter has had to work through an upper body injury,
(32:57):
and of course that's a big one. Following last week's practice,
Liam Cohen said Hunter was dealing with an upper body
injury and that it was just a precautionary thing, but
that he is day today. They are not concerned, they
say they're not concerned about They think he's going to
(33:17):
be absolutely fine and he's going to be the two
way star. They intend him to be full time on offense,
ease in on defense and earning more reps as the
season gets deeper and deeper. But he did miss a
week due to a minor injury. However, he's getting closer,
(33:41):
getting closer, and you want everybody healthy you can possibly have.
Let's face, let's be honest about that. New York Giants
had a massive injury update ahead of what's coming up
around the bend for them. It includes offensive tackle Andrew Thomas,
wide receiver Malik Neighbors, and running back Cam Scatabo will
(34:06):
miss over return rather to practice after missing time. Neighbors
had a back thing, Scataboo had a hammy injury, and
Thomas is just being activated from what I call the
pup list. It's all about timing and getting healthy before
(34:26):
the beginning of the season because they trust me. They
want to be there. They're not looking to leg it
out and not be there because of an injury. And
it's crazy how many significant injuries have happened. I mean,
everybody in their brother wighs in on. Maybe there's just
too much of it. Maybe that's what's so difficult. We've
(34:50):
been previewing the NFC. We did the NFC East the
other day, getting you ready for nail the score. This
time around, it's the NFC Southiked, Biked, Can we hear
that again, Mike? Those are two words I've never heard
(35:11):
before other than covering football, of course. All right, so
we'll go from Remember this is last year the Buccaneers
were ten and seven the Falcs were eight and nine,
the Panthers were five and twelve, the Saints were five
and twelve. If defense wins championships, then all of these
(35:31):
teams have to be looking at defense. But let's just
look at the Buccaneers. They've had injuries they've had to
deal with. They finished sixteenth in points against the and
eighteenth and in yards allowed lois since twenty nineteen, So
they got some problems here health wise, and they should
(35:55):
have a much better secondary. I think I said that
one night off the top of my head, and look
looking at their roster and talking to a few people,
the offense is almost fully intact, the biggest loss being
former uh O C Liam Cohen. So you've got to
look at teams you'd have to beat. Right, what are
(36:16):
the teams you have to beat? Commanders, Lions, Eagles beat
them all last year but lost to Dak Prescott less
Cowboys because he wasn't there at the you know, at
the time. So we look up and down at h
at the at the NFC as a whole, but we
look at specifically, so tough to the like I said,
(36:42):
the South, where you have Tampa Bay and the Saints
trying to side on quarterback, and then the Carolina Panthers
and the Falcons and that's you know, that's those are
those teams when you look at them. The Buccaneers to me,
I don't see how you go against the Buccaneers to
(37:03):
not follow up last season with a really really solid year.
I mean, they did just have to put one of
their top wide receivers with a neck injury on ir
but I think looking at you know, looking at again
their roster overall, I think it's tough to go. Tough
(37:27):
to go against Tampa Bay not winning that division. I
think the Saints and even the Panthers could win way
more than five games. And I think it's important because
you know, when the teams start to fold, there's more
and more pressure to keep things going, so that can
become so dangerous when when it's not going. I mean,
(37:50):
that's spottom of line.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
What it is.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
You know, I look at quarterbacks across the league, and
specifically you look at the the NFC South, you and
you look at Buccaneers last year clearly being finishing number one,
but then right after them and nipping at their heels
this time around, is the you know, is the Atlanta
(38:15):
Falcons and when you look at the Atlanta Falcons, I
don't care about the preseason. It's what we've seen in
the preseason with sometimes young, oldier quarterbacks. Is there kind
of a mentor relationship. If there's a mental relationship, I
think anybody would welcome. Anybody would welcome that, that's for sure. Also,
(38:38):
when we look ahead, you know, in the man Cave,
I feel so compelled each and every night to do
this because you're always beating me up, fam You're always
beating me up about this. But you want to know
the scores. I get it. You want to know the
scores of the Cubs and the Brewers. The Cubs beat
(38:58):
the Brewers six'. Four that it was a doubleheader game
one makeup from the day, before but they're not done,
yet so that's one. Game then you get the time in.
Between The cubs came back and won At wrigley for
one for. One, Meanwhile dodgers shut down The rockies, Eleven
(39:24):
reds got by The angels six For. Diamondbacks it really
held off The guardians. Defense But diamondbacks win by just
run six. Five AND i think there's a COUPLE i
might have glossed. Over, yes The tigers shut down The
(39:46):
astros with the six to one. Win The cardinals beat
The marlin seven to, Four Blue jays over The pirates
seven to. Three in, fact they made it look kind of.
Easy maybe it's just the point THAT i tuned and
to see the last couple of moments of the Man,
cave AND i missed a big one. Too not missed
(40:07):
it because it was on my, mind and actually somebody
even poked me about it earlier in the. Day but
The yankees at the franchise record with nine homers in a.
Game yankees knocked off The rays in a very very big,
way thirteen to. Three thirteen to. Three you can Bet Aaron,
(40:29):
judge of, course always has a hand in it. Somewhere
he's just been. Phenomenal And Gene Carlos stanton And Cody
bellinger both hit two home. Runs Aaron, judge, though lost
his fortieth of the. Season and The yankees get you,
know matched a franchise record with long nine long balls.
(40:52):
Too but if they finished last year where they, finished you,
Know toronto right, now number, One yankees number, two five games,
Back boston six games, Back Tampa bay twelve point. Five
you get, it so quite a few are either latch
(41:13):
key in it or have an aunt or a grandmother
that comes. Over BUT i, mean, WOW i mean just
looking at it and looking at what you know, again
looking at what's happening in baseball wrapping up and THE
nfl kicking, in and we have a big announcement at
(41:34):
the tail end of the show With nail The score
that is going to be so cake for. Everybody in
the very beginning of the first launch Of nail The,
Score so meaning the first game out of the, gate
you have so much time to think about this. Game
But i'm not going to spoil. It LIKE i, said
(41:55):
it's a surprise at the tail end of the hour
coming up as we close the door to the Man.
Cave Lindsey, willis who wrote the Book Be, there my
lived experience with my sister's bipolar, disorder talking about what
it's like in going through this as a family and
(42:18):
also what's it like to be a caretaker for somebody
who seems, fine as fine as going along and then
all of a sudden the wheels come off and you're
dealing with the aftermath of that and those conflicted feelings
that often a lot of people. Have author's, corner coming
up round.
Speaker 4 (42:37):
The bend on the show office.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
Bonner she asked about the. Books they rose really pleased
To welcome to the. Show Lindsay, Willis she's written a
very powerful book that you need to hear, about you
need to and you need to spread. Around And i'm
so serious about. THIS i talk about mental health so,
OFTEN i mean every day on every. SHOW i do
everything that we see where it. Leads what can we
(43:10):
do to help the, people what are we doing as a?
Nation all of, that and her story is so. Personal
be there and check out the Subtitle My Lived experience
with My sister's bi polar. Disorder and in this book
letters that her sister wrote when she was high meaning
high on what was happening to her manic, whatever or
(43:34):
when it was normal ish, Right and the book is so.
Beautiful the cover totally portrays. That and we're going to
talk about. That and you can See lindsay, there SO
i don't want to take up all the. Space, lindsay
thanks so much for coming.
Speaker 5 (43:46):
On thank you very much for having.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
Me so first of, all let's talk About. Betsy betsy
is your. Sister she was diagnosed at what twenty one
with bipolar.
Speaker 5 (43:56):
Brought, yes approximately that, Age, Yes and.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
What was that, like what do you remember conversations with
your parents or anything that happened Around betsy getting that.
Speaker 5 (44:07):
News but we always knew that she demonstrated kind of
bizarre behavior like bringing books to the, beach changing clothes
all the, time just being, manic, manic, manic, going, going,
going and then could get really. Nasty and then she
overdosed On kuelud's because and that's when they diagnosed. Her
but she was also using drugs back in the seventies
(44:30):
AND i think where she was smoking pot and doing you,
know those types of things and you, know to sedate her,
mania and she didn't you, know know what it. Was
so when you, helped you, know pot sedates. You so
she was doing all these things and then when she
was diagnosed with bipolar was, aha that's that's why she's
up and down all the. Time that's why she's manic
(44:51):
or depressed or or demonstrating really bizarre. Behavior.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
Yeah, SO i, mean so tough for family to deal with.
That and when you were a pair were, alive they
were primarily dealing with. It and of course you were
helping too as, well and you talk about all of
this in your. Book tell us some of the.
Speaker 5 (45:09):
Stories, well, uh my sister got caught shoplifting and that
was part of but that was before she was. Diagnosed
and kleptomania is one of the characteristics of someone would,
bipolar so my father had to deal with that and
keep it out of the. Paper my sister was could
be very very nasty and. Mean she was very abusive
and mean to me WHEN i was growing, up you,
(45:31):
know and people, say how could you taken care of
her for so many? Years because you, forgive you love,
somebody you're not going to just dump, them throw them
on a heap of you, know. Garbage but she was
very mean to. Me that was part OF i guess her.
Personality but also when she would get manick or, depressed
she would take it out on, me but we didn't
(45:52):
know what it. Was so before she was, diagnosed when
when she, was you, know hanging out with different guys
and getting, STONED i think that was because she was
trying to sedate herself because she was always, going, going,
Going she was a straight a. Student she could just do.
Anything she had, energy she could do. Anything, wow how.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Tough for everybody to deal with, that like you, said
straight a, student but then all these other things that
held her, down that held her. Back and at the,
time especially when she was, diagnosed people didn't really talk about,
it did they?
Speaker 5 (46:28):
Know you hide it in the. Closet my parents hid
it in the closet until the early until nineteen eighty.
Eight that when they moved To florida and retired eighty
seven eighty eight To Wormond, beach they finally let the
neighbors When betsy was living with them, that you, know
why is your daughter living at? Home they finally told.
People they never told anybody all those, years told nobody
(46:50):
about their daughter because she was living a fairly normal
life because it was hidden in the, closet.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Right, Right and so, obviously so you've dealt with this
your whole, life and from, afar what was it like
for you in the beginning in dealing.
Speaker 5 (47:07):
With, That, WELL i was living my own. Life she
was living her own, life and we, thought, well you,
know she's on this mild tranquilizer in, lithium she'll you,
know she'll Do. Okay she finished her master's, degree but
then it all fell. Apart you, know when she could,
over she could no longer take lithium and that was
the miracle. Drug you, know it's like. Assault and then
(47:28):
from there on in it all just was up and
down and spent a whole rest of her life in
and out of, hospitals in and out of, apartments going
through three, marriages getting. Evicted it just was a terrible.
Story and she was. Arrested she one time she had
was in jail for six. Months it was just some,
terrible terrible stories that we dealt, with you, know and
(47:52):
you know every time we dealt with, it we were
on the phone with. HER i was on the phone with.
Her it was just like to take a deep, breath
just get through the, day you, know and what else
is going to happen? Now and.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
You just.
Speaker 5 (48:07):
Wit but she was never on the. Street that was the.
Beauty we always promised that my sister will never my.
Daughter my sister is not going to live on the.
Streets we're going to help take care of.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
Her, yeah what made you decide you're going to? Write be?
Speaker 5 (48:20):
There my sister. Started my mother AND i thought Maybe
betsy should start writing a story of her life because
she was living at their house In Ormond beach and
about eighty eight eighty, nine and we, said why don't.
You that was about the point when she could no
longer work. Anymore my mother got around social security. Disability
she worked in psychiatric social. Work believe it or, not
(48:40):
she just couldn't do it. Anymore so my mother AND
i suggested that she start writing about her story about her,
life and she, did and that's the first couple pages
of the. Book she started, writing but she never. Finished
SO i, said, Well i'm going to finish the. Book
i'm going to write about, her SO i and me
because it affected. Me it affected me my whole life
and still still affects me. Today SO i wrote the,
(49:03):
book put it down for twenty, years picked it up,
again and finished. It my parents read the first drap
and they, said this a book will get published one.
Day it's better than the book we read Called My Sister's.
Keeper SO i had to get a story out there
AND i wanted people to know about. It and then
once it was, PUBLISHED i, said oh my, God now
what AM i going to? Do AND i came up
with another plan AND i, said, No i'm going to
(49:25):
GIVE i want to go get big so it can
give money to help.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
People, yeah we're going to we'll talk about that in a,
second but it with the. Book what's so unique is
the way you lay it out because you have letters
that she wrote that you were.
Speaker 5 (49:38):
Referenced, yes AND i, well As i'm, writing AND i
thinking of all, this AND i we did the table of.
CONTENTS i had all these thought processes and creative, ideas
AND i, said wait a, Second you've got letters your
sister wrote you from many many years, ago through all her.
Life you kept. Them why DID i keep? THEM i,
said SOMEDAY i could use, this tons of family pictures
(50:01):
THAT i scanned BECAUSE i keep. Things AND i, SAID
i got to put this in the. Book and then family.
Archives my great grandmother was, bipolar but they didn't know that,
then and there's a picture of her in, there and
there's letters that she, wrote so there's family archives and
there's a genetic. Link and SO i got to put
all this in the. BOOK i got to put the
letters in the book because the letters validate part of
(50:22):
What i'm. Writing so people could read the book and they, said,
oh so what this person could be making This, No
i'm not making it. Up here's a letter she wrote.
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Me, Right and the letters are really, SAD i, mean
the letters really show what it was like to live
in her, head Don't They.
Speaker 5 (50:42):
Very. Sad and she was a good, writer and she
wrote some really good letters that were like with, poetry
and she wrote things at the beginning of the book
where she gave advice to. Me and THEN i, wrote you,
KNOW i wrote the letter to my sister when she.
Died it was in the beginning the. BOOK i wrote
a letter to her with you, know BECAUSE i felt
(51:04):
THAT i owed that to. Her you. Know but she
was a good, writer and she could have. Been she
could have, been she could have been had a wonderful, life.
Speaker 1 (51:12):
Right but there was just no definitive cure for WHAT
i call a mental. Disease we say mental, illness but mental.
Disease it's just so different when someone's an alcoholic and
they go TO, aa when someone's dealing with something else
that they're dealing with with terrible, things, cancer et. Cetera
there's just a different reaction from the, world isn't there
(51:34):
to when you say the blanket mental.
Speaker 5 (51:36):
Illness, yeah because people, say Oh, god stay away from that,
person and oh you, know and and it's like not
in my, backyard and you, know that person is so.
Bizarre and you see people walking on city streets and
they kind of walk away from the peace of the,
person lay in the street or you, Know New York,
city AND i see these. People those people are a
(51:56):
lot of those people are mentally. Ill and you're walking
into city streets and they're you, KNOW i go To
New york about three five times a, year and they
and they they're walking, around you, know they're mentally you,
know they're talking to, themselves they're dressed, weird and people
just kind of walk by them and get away from,
them you, know move move us far away from the
curve as you can get away from, them you. Know
and a lot of them don't like. Living they're used
to living on the. Streets but if they had somewhere
(52:18):
decent that they all could go to and, live maybe
they wouldn't all be on the.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
Streets, yeah such a such a good.
Speaker 5 (52:26):
POINT i, Mean god, forbid it's an. Embarrassment we don't
want those people in. Art we don't want those people
and you, know in our in our neighborhood on the.
Street but you, can't you can't remove them from the.
STREET i don't think that's. Allowed that you have to
allow them to be out on the sidewalk like everybody else's.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
Right exactly the four. Seas you talk about the four
seas in your Book so important talk about?
Speaker 5 (52:51):
That, well, okay let me go to the section of the.
Book we have the four, seas page one seventy. Two four.
Seas you cannot cure, it you didn't cause, it you
cannot control, it and you must cope with. IT i
added the FOURTH i added the fourth. Seat you must
cope with. It you really have no. Choice the only
(53:13):
way you don't cope with it is to wash your
hands of the person completely and have absolutely nothing to
do with. THEM i have met people in my life
who have said they have A bodo brother and, says, oh,
yeah well his schizophrenic or he's. Bipolar how's he.
Speaker 4 (53:27):
DOING i have no.
Speaker 5 (53:28):
Idea we have nothing to do with it with, Him
so you must cope with. It to have nothing to
do with the, person unless they've threatened your, life that's one,
thing and you you, know but to not be able
to cope with it and to just discard that person
is very. Cruel, yeah you can't cure, it so you've
(53:48):
got to do whatever you can to realize that you
you didn't cause. It you can't cure, it you can't control.
It and to cope with. It you can come up
with coping strategies for being help that, person you, know
but it's not your. Fault you're not the cause of their,
problems even though they've tried to blame. You my sister
(54:08):
tried to blame me for her. Behavior, NO i. UNDERSTAND
i didn't cause you to be. MANIC i didn't cause
you to do, This but she used to throw it
in life space Like i'm the one that did. It,
NO i didn't cause you to do.
Speaker 1 (54:20):
This back with more of Doctor Lindsay willis and her
Book Be, There My Lived experience With My Sister's bipolar.
Disorder her back with Doctor Lindsay willis here on Atn
(54:42):
On Author's. Corner in, fact her Book Be, There My
Lived experience with my sister's bipolar. Disorder so we've been
talking about things that have happened with your. Sister but
it's so tough on the. Caretakers SO i can only
imagine what that was like for. You what what is
it like being the? Caretaker it had to have taken
(55:03):
a massive toll on.
Speaker 5 (55:04):
You oh and, yeah it took a toll on. Me
my whole life THAT i note in the book ways
THAT i. Cope one of the ways THAT i don't
in my. Life my whole life is. RUNNING i used
to be a marathon, runner my, husband My duci's. HUSBAND
i ran marathons into, triathlons so that kicks in the.
Endorphins And betsy exercised a lot, too so she. Tried
she was always a good exerciser to the best of her.
(55:26):
Ability and that, helps you, know sedate you a little
bit and calms. You it's like a. Drug running is
exercises like a. Drug it certain get you can mellows
you out a little. Bit so that was a Coping Macasine.
Lisen i've had my whole life.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
Exercising, yeah THE i mentioned the book you know at the,
top and what a great cover it. Is it's a
woman on the cover Who's, betsy and you see this
wonderful side of her. Face it's just. Amazing it's beautiful,
flowers all of, that and then the other that is much.
Dark how'd you come up with that?
Speaker 5 (56:01):
Concept, Well Sue miller came up with. It sue's the.
ONE i just gave her a picture Of. Betsy here's
the pictures in the, Book and here's a picture Of.
Betsy why don't you take her face and? Paint And
sue came up with. This so the dark, SIDE i
mean the spiders and the snake and the terrible things
that it, burned burned. Trees that's pretty. Bad And betsy
(56:25):
called it the black. Hole betsy's black hole was so
deep that's when you think about committing. Suicide so it's all,
Black sue. THOUGHT i didn't Tell. Sue sue did that all.
Herself all the black you look at, It so that is.
Awful did you imagine feeling that? Way the tears and
the and the snake and the, CROW i mean when they're,
(56:46):
depressed they are really really. Depressed.
Speaker 1 (56:48):
Yeah. Absolutely when people read the, there what do you
hope they take, Away.
Speaker 5 (56:54):
Well they take away that, empathy. Compassion you, know that's
why these people are the way they. Are, OH i
understand why these people do. This look at all the
characteristics of the bipolar. Person you, know IF i can
help help out in the community, center assistant living the,
city MAYBE i will. That you, Know oh my, God
(57:16):

a family, member you can take away ideas on how
to cope with it and you, know heal. Yourself the

Speaker 5 (59:43):
Much, appreciate thank you very much for having me on your.
Speaker 1 (59:47):
Show just a couple of quickies before we wrap up the. Show,
one it's so scary to. Me this is like a
four year health. Thing that the fifth person has died
after A legionaire's disease. Outbreak, second dozens of people In
New York. City, Great i'm headed To New York city
and this is you, know according to their health. Officials of,
(01:00:08):
course it happened In Central. Harlem it sickened the people In,
july in Late, july and the latest death was announced
On monday. Night so fourteen people were hospitalized as of
the beginning of this, week according to The New York
City Health. Department and of, course do you know What
legionaire's disease. Is it's that bacteria that causes the aptly
(01:00:30):
Name legionnaire's disease that was discovered in twelve cooling towers
on ten, buildings Including and this is, scary, right any
of it's, scary but a city run hospital and a
sexual health clinic, Too so of course there's remediation efforts
that are happening, now and they're completed on the cooling,
(01:00:51):
towers but too, late right for everybody else that was
caught up in. That and you, know this is a,
Disease LIKE i, said what is. It it's a type
of pneumonia that's caused by the neat Lead janella bacteria
that grows in warm water and spreads through building water.
Systems so that outbreak was linked to those cooling, towers
(01:01:12):
which use water and a fan to cool. Buildings you,
know people when they get, this they usually have these,
symptoms a, cough, fever, headaches muscle, aches shortness of breath
between two days to two weeks after they get exposed
to the. Bacteria that's what THE cdc says. Anyway so
what they're telling people In New York city is if
(01:01:33):
you live or work in the, area you have to,
contact you, know a healthcare provider if you have any
kind of flu like. Symptoms it seems like if you
have any kind of symptoms like the, flu it could
be something, else, Right but it's not a funny. MATTER i,
mean legionneers is so serious and it's so. Scary, boy
(01:01:53):
DO i feel for the families of the people who
who died from, that, right five people, dead all those
other people. Sick. Geez all, right let's turn to something
else THAT i, saw you, know while we are holding
our breath With, aaron and what's happening there as it's
hitting The East coast and the outer. Banks so many
(01:02:14):
of those pockets have been, evacuated which completely makes, sense
AS i discovered myself with, hurricanes you just don't know
what's going to. HAPPEN i, mean you, know you watch,
it you watch, it watch. It you could, say on one,
hand the good news is there is some. Warning but
the other side of is it when you talk about,
surges because they're talking about that there could be there's
(01:02:36):
going to be a surge when you talk about big
waves and rip currents and high seas and all, that
but it's really going to center between THE us And.
Bermuda so you, know lots and lots of people have already.
Evacuated but we keep talking about rip currents on this,
show and we've had people on to talk about, it
and have you ever been caught up in? One and
(01:02:58):
they've got flags all over the beach, dangerous dangerous rip.
CURRENTS i, mean red giant. Flags they had to rescue
about sixty people At Wrightsville, beach and that of course
led to, okay we can't keep doing this a no swim.
Order so if you think about where that, is you Think,
wilmington and so many people go To, wilmington Right and
(01:03:22):
Then South carolina they had dozens of. Rescues they're rip
currents In South carolina on The georgia. Beaches all of
this is exactly what was, predicted so it shouldn't necessarily
be a. Surprise you. Know we let you hear From
Hurricane center Director Mike, brennan who said over the, Weekend,
look these conditions might look like it's a great day
(01:03:44):
for a beach, trip but the rip currents are hard
to spot and amen to. That that's where people really
really get caught up in. This. Ah but, wait there's.
More did you just hear that? Hike we forgot to
mention that in the Man cave and at the top
of the.
Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
Show but a very special thing for the kick off
of THE nfl is happening here on Atn what we're
gonna do is for the very first, game which is On,

Speaker 5 (01:04:52):
On can they?
Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
Repeat so be, there get it. In send it To
kate At katedalaney radio dot.
Speaker 5 (01:04:58):
Com.
Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
Whoo thanks to The minnesota, Too jason And daniel for
their work on the technicals as always, excellent and all
of you for listening to this. Show make it, count,
everybody
Hurricane Aaron is really packing a punch. North Carolina under
a state of emergency, people ordered to evacuate, and the
riptides have been crazy. In a place called Wrightsville, they
had over ten rescues because of the riptides. Hey, everybody,
(00:32):
another Dame Paradise in these United States, Kate Delady here
on at and the Shark Quterie board of talk radio.
So that is the deal. Dangerous waves and rip currents,
giant red flags all over the beaches. To not at
all think that you can combat riptides, not just warning
(00:54):
saying don't do it. In fact, talking to my relatives
who were in in Corolla, North Carolina, on the outer
banks the previous week, they said that there were a
couple of different patrols that were going up and down
the beach with a megaphone saying the sheriff will arrest
(01:16):
you if you go deep into the water. So serious.
I mean, look, you even have the New Jersey governor
saying don't go in the water. And the reason for
that is not because people are completely stupid. It's because
in our minds, we're going to the beach. It's a
beautiful day. Do you see the sun? Do you see
(01:36):
the weather. Are you kidding? There's nothing wrong, there's not
these it's not a tsunami. And they go to the
beach and they think there's no riptide. What are they
talking about? Because a riptide is so hard for people
to understand and for people to see. So you heard
the storm here in the studio that we played for you.
(01:58):
So the storm is not going to make land fall
on the East Coast, but it's triggered a tropical storm
warning for those Outer Banks mandatory VAX as I said,
for a lot of people living in the Outer Banks
and people that are visiting. They're gonna get heavy rain,
winds over forty to fifty miles an hour, and a
storm surge of two to four feet this week. There's
(02:18):
already a high surf advisory that's been issued. You've got
these large, giant breaking waves that are maybe up to
twenty feet in the forecast. Coastal damage is likely from
the large waves destroying some of those protective dunes. Flooding
will extend inland, likely impacting a lot of roads for sure.
(02:42):
And I told you about Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina,
And now that was just Monday that I was telling
you about right. But now you add up all the
days and I just had a buddy text me this
while we're on the air. Fifty people all together. That
is the official number. Fifty people have been rescued at
this point. No swimming is recommended popular beaches of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware,
(03:08):
where I grew up. Why Wood, New Jersey, banning swimming
period because of the rough surf, saying you cannot do it.
In New York City, they're closing all the beaches for
swimming on Wednesday and Thursday. No one wants to mess
with the riptide I told you about Jersey. The governor there,
Phil Murphy, telling all beach goers in the state avo
(03:32):
avoid the ocean this week. We're gonna see a lot
of flooding on the back end of this. So waves
are starting to pick up from Florida to the outer
Banks and then going all the way up to New
Jersey and maybe a little bit beyond that too. But
twenty feet in the Carolinas as it passes over the
(03:52):
outer Banks. Wow, you're gonna see some serious, serious beach erosion.
My friends. If you go to the out banks, you
might not recognize some of those places. You might not
recognize Myrtle Beach, some of the beaches there, Hatteras, You're
not going to recognize Hatteras. I hope not. I hope
that there's a little bit more of a turn and
(04:13):
we don't see as much beach erosion. I've seen what
hurricanes can do to beaches. We move on from that
front to a different front, and we're talking about what's
going on in Ukraine and is there going to be
this meeting between Zelenski and Putin? Is there anything that's
(04:35):
happening to make that a little bit closer. The White
House is saying Putin promise to meet with Zelenski soon.
But in the meantime, you have attacks on the Ukraine.
Russia launched two hundred and eighty drones and missiles overnight
according to the Ukrainian Air Force. So nothing is letting
(04:55):
up there, in fact saying oil refining and gas facilities specifically,
we're targeted. They were attacked, which is a direct violation
of international humanitarian law. I happen to catch this today
and flipping around Robert Wilkie, you might remember him. He's
a former Undersecretary of Defense during the first term for
(05:20):
President Trump and I think he really sums it up
so well, here's what he thinks this will boil down to.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
If we can underpin Ukraine with security guarantees, particularly from
the Europeans, and that might include inclusion into the European
Union itself, not NATO, then you would have the chance
that Ukraine can prosper behind an armistice line. But that's
(05:49):
only going to come if Putin believes that Western weapons
will be flowing to the Ukrainians. And also economic saying
in the terms in the sense that American energy independence
will be unleashed on the world and drive down the
price of Russian.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Oil, still a big question mark at this point. Nothing
new that's concrete on that front. This happened from Flight
Mayares Air Canada gradually resuming flights. They had to cancel
hundreds more flights because there wasn't a solid agreement, So
(06:29):
multiple days of cancelations, derailing, delaying, and messing with thousands
of people's travel plans. In fact, some people stuck where
they were trying to rearrange travel back to Canada or
even the United States. We know at the heart of
this ten thousand flight attendants refused to go to work
despite a government order on Sunday, and of course what
(06:52):
are they disputing wages in unpaid labor. So Air Canada's
component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees or the
acronym is CUPE. They say the carriers wages are below
inflation market value and the federal minimum wage. So they're
saying flight attendants have to be paid for groundwork. That
(07:13):
includes anything that's performed prior to takeoff and after landing,
which is ridiculous that they're not sorry that they're not
paid for that. Does that seem odd to you? You
look at the American flights, the planes out of an
American base, and all of them pay for that. So
the news is it's about stabilizing what has just happened
(07:37):
and cutting this deal. So there are going to be
flights that are gonna be canceled over the next seven
to ten days. They're trying to size everything. If you
because there are definitely people that fly Air Canada out
of the United States, if you are in one of them,
do I need to tell you need to check to
see if in fact it's going to happen. Let's put
(08:00):
it that way. And I got to bring this up.
How about Minnesota. They're suing TikTok. They're saying it praise
on young people with addictive algorithms. Don't we live in
the land of addictive algorithms, So what specifically has happened?
They're joining a wave of states actually that are saying
the app is harming young people's mental health. Minnesota Attorney
(08:25):
General Keith Ellison said at a news conference it's actually
about deception, manipulation, misrepresentation. It's a company knowing the dangers
and the dangerous effects of its product, but making and
taking no steps to mitigate those harms or infirm inform
rather users of the risks. I wonder how far that
(08:46):
suit will go. Birthdays in the like on the flip
coming at we have the they were popular birthdays. Boy,
I skip it a couple of times, and I'm getting
emails from Martha from bo and there was someone else
(09:09):
to skip who mentioned, Hey, who's celebrating birthday today? How
about that? Rabbits in Colorado have been spotted with horns. No,
it's not the National Inquirer or TMZ or something else.
It's real. They have these horns because of this benign
(09:30):
virus known as the chop Pepa Morovs virus. I don't
even know if I'm saying that correctly, and it causes
like these wart kind of tumors. So the little cute
cottontail bunnies, Oh, they look so bad. It's so awful
to see them. I mean, some of them just have
(09:52):
these horns that look like somebody was abusing them and
stuck it on their heads. And then some of them
it's worse. It's just grotesque. They have horns or like
these tentacles. And it's mostly spread by insects like fleas
and mosquitoes, and it's definitely, I guess, more prevalent during
(10:13):
the summer months. But boy, a lot of them are
showing up in the great State of Colorado. It reminded
me of Monty python and their rabbits.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
That's the most fault.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Cool and bad temper.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Wouldn't you ever say?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Eyes on kit, I saw my alma.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I was so scared that habit's got a fish of
street a mile wide.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
It's get stop.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He'll do you a cheat mate, monkey a waning you?
What's he doing? Nibilelyr bum, He's got sheet shut he
can leap about. Look at the bones, Look at the bones.
I mean, these bones are so crazy and people are
(11:01):
posting all kinds of photos of them and you see
their big, big pretty eyes, and you feel so badly
for these bunnies. Right, I guess it has no significant
effects on the wild rabbits unless it interferes with eating
or drinking, so it doesn't it doesn't do anything to
these poor cottontails. And they say the thing that's interesting.
(11:22):
They say that the rabbits can survive the viral infection.
The growth will go away when the virus goes away,
So unless they can't eat or drink, they're actually gonna
be okay. Thank you Colorado Parks and wildlife. And also
good to know it's not harmful to humans, So no
(11:46):
problem whatsoever with that. Whatever search engine you use, you
gotta go to it, you gotta check it out. It is.
I had no idea. It is really kind of freaky,
but I guess more painful for us to look at
than the rabbits to deal with it themselves. All right.
(12:07):
For everybody who wanted to hear birthdays, it's time to
roll him out. So who's celebrating a birthday today? If
you are, happy, happy birthday to you. Go buy yourself
a piece of cake if nobody else will. Fat Joe
(12:27):
do you know who Fat Joe is? That's his stage name.
He's a rapper. It's good. He's a good rapper. He
is fifty five years old. Yeah, you know. He he
got a lot of help from people who thought his
stuff was so, so, so good and got signed. I
(12:50):
want to say he got signed like in the nineties,
in the late nineties, and his debut single was Flow
Joe and it topped the Billboard Hot one hundred and
the Hot Rap Songs Chart two is as well. And
he's appeared in a bunch of films and so some
(13:10):
of you would recognize his face. I guarantee it Scary
Movie three, Happy Feet also, She's got to have It.
That's another one that you know that he he was in.
But he's one of those He's one of those artists
that spreads across different genre, like there's obviously a difference
(13:33):
between hardcore hip hop and rap, and that's him. I mean, songwriter, actor,
record producer, fifty five years old, also celebrating a birthday.
One of my favorites because I got to talk to
him once and he was a very normal guy. But
(13:54):
John Stamos. That's not why he's my favorite, though. I
think he's talented John Stamos actor and a musician. He
of course was on one hundred years ago General Hospital,
I think when I was in middle school and then
maybe the beginning of high school, and he kind of
got known I think there, and then he was on
(14:17):
Full House, which was huge for him. So full House
was a big one. Er. He's on Er, He's did
a bunch of Broadway, He's done a bunch of television,
other television. Two, he's been in a bunch of different movies.
Sixty two again, sixty two years old, and he he
(14:39):
credits his family. You know, he is a second generation
His father is a second generation Greek American restaurant guy,
and he grew up in Arcadia in Greece and some
of that whole work ethic and everything else. Most credits
(15:00):
his dad for so pretty interesting. And I'm so surprised
that he is sixty two years old. Former President Bill
Clinton is seventy nine years old. So once again, if
you're celebrating a birthday, happy happy birthday to you.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
I got a you.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah, bring out the party horns. Can we hear that again?
All right, this is one that will fascinate your friends.
Ubiquitous bit of information. I come across them all day long.
Here's a good one. What is the rarest eminem color.
(15:43):
I'll give you a second to think about that. Well,
I take a sip of water. Rarest color. I got
this wrong. I've been asked this now. I of course
know it. It's emblazoned in my brain. But when you
open a bag of em and m's, you know the brown,
the yellows, the reds, the greens, et cetera. You know
(16:03):
what is the one that is the one you don't
see as much? So if you look at the current data,
brown eminem's account for just over thirteen percent of a
standard bag, making them the rarest of all the current colors.
At one point in the late nineties, I don't know
(16:23):
what happened to mister brown, they would be thirty percent
of the bag. And that's why I did. It throws
me off because it's like brown M and ms. I mean,
we see brown eminems. What are you talking about? But now, no,
it's been the it's been the reverse. It's a whole
branding thing, right, So there are other colors that are
(16:45):
more popular the greens, the reds, the yellows. I mean,
you get it. We don't have to go too deep
on this, but I thought I thought it was pretty interesting.
I don't know, let's put it that way. If we
wanted to talk about, you know, we want to talk
about a thing that you just just doesn't pop into
(17:07):
your head that brown is that is that color? I
wouldn't think of that at all. And this is also
pretty interesting to me too, because we have you know,
every day is a national something day and usually more
of a something something something day, so four or five
or six things, and of all things, today is National
Potato Day. It is an incredible versatile vegetable. Oh I know,
(17:31):
I grew up on them, baked, fried, mashed, yeah, any
way you can imagine. But I think what is interesting
about potatoes is the average American eats one hundred and
eleven pounds of potatoes every year. Doesn't that sound like
a lot to me? Sounds like a lot to me.
And of course, where do we get most of our potatoes?
(17:53):
Do I need to tell you that people are listening?
In this state Idaho, four hundred and twelve pounds of
Idaho potatoes are sold every second every second. My friends, Wow,
that's a lot. It's a whole lot. And there's different
kinds of potatoes. If you go to the store, you
(18:13):
obviously realize that if someone says, hey, go get some potatoes,
you kind of got to ask, what variety are we
talking about? Gold? Are we're talking about reds? But what
are we talking about Russett? What are we talking about?
You have to specify. And of course when is the
biggest time for the sales of the potato. Between Thanksgiving
(18:34):
and New Year's Day. More Idaho potatoes are sold then
than any other time in the year because creamy mashed
potatoes for Thankgiving, of course, all kinds of things, for
all the celebrations. That whole window is when potatoes are
(18:56):
definitely the side dish. Now I know your take away
a piece of something fascinating, fascinating from this show. Hang
with us. I'm gonna remind you about the sauce and
a couple of other things as well. All right, boy,
(19:37):
this is fascinating. Think about this. IBM, the IBM Institute
did this business value study which is full of incredible gems,
and they found out, despite the challenges, CEOs are doubling
down on AI, and there's so much valuable content in
this That's why I'm thrilled that we have Selima in
(20:00):
on with us Managing Partner Strategy M and A Transformation
and Thought Leadership IBM Consulting and Boys shares the goods
on this. So Selima, thanks for hanging with us.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So what are the top priorities? With all that said,
as I said, you did this really chunky business value
study and what you found out? What are the top
priorities for CEOs this year?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Yeah, So we've actually been doing this study KPE for
twenty two years, so we have a longitudinal data. We've
interviewed more than thirty thousand CEOs over that time period,
and this year we're seeing a clear shift in CEO priorities,
which isn't surprising given all of the geopolitical issues, the
(20:48):
economic volatility, not to mention the rapid technological changes, especially AI.
But we see three main priorities that emerged for twenty
twenty five. The first is forecast accuracy. It's at the
top of the list this year, which is really interesting
because it's up from the fourth spot last year and
(21:08):
it was actually at the bottom of the list in
twenty twenty three. The second main priority for CEOs this
year is productivity and profitability. So that's a continued focus
for leaders. It's, you know, what you would expect. And
then the third is product and service innovation, which is
really reflecting a need to stay competitive.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, and you mentioned, you know, obviously the rapid rapid
advancement of AI technology. How has all of that acceleration
influenced CEO's perspectives on AI adoption?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
So, as with many technology cycles, with AI, we're seeing
this rush to invest in AI. And this rush is
being fueled by something we've all heard about, and that's FOMO, right,
the fear of missing out. Yeah, and it's overcoming this
FOMO and moving towards so delivering value that's really important.
But what does that mean? So many organizations have deployed
(22:07):
hundreds of proof of concepts, that's pocs, right over the
course of the last couple of years. But here's the reality, right,
pocs don't necessarily deliver business results, right. They may showcase potential,
but that potential doesn't always translate into value. And so
when you asked about adoption, sixty one percent of CEOs
(22:30):
confirmed that they're actively adopting AI agents today and they're
preparing to implement them at scale. However, only twenty five
percent of these AI initiatives have delivered the expected ROI.
And so what we're seeing is that successful CEOs they're
not just measuring success by activity. They're measuring impact, right,
(22:51):
so revenue growth, customer satisfaction, market share, and the best
leaders aren't chasing every idea. They're supporting what works, but they.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Have the courage to cut what doesn't.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah. So, I mean the great follow up to that
is when you think of business as so many lots
of CEOs listen to this show and lots of business people,
how can businesses apply AI to navigate the change and
uncertainty that they're experiencing like so many of us?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yeah, absolutely so. In our studies, sixty eight percent of
CEOs say that AI is changing core aspects of their organization.
And so what this means is that success, right, won't
come from doing the same things better. We need to
optimize what works well, clear out what doesn't, and make
room for new growth. And this is where AI agents
(23:43):
can really help because they can analyze information from across
the enterprise and make recommendations about what should stay and
what should go. Now this is key because as you know,
Kate from doing the show, that CEOs are we thinking
everything right from products and services at the offer to
how they're running their businesses. And so one of the
(24:05):
questions we ask theos is if you had the opportunity
to rethink and reshape your business and how it works,
and if you could use AI to achieve that growth,
what would you do?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Great question, right, what would you do? And you think
about the barriers right for CEOs, what they face when
it comes to fully realizing the potential of AI, and
what they can do to overcome these challenges. So what
can they do? You talked about earlier about looking at
all the facts and being smart and how you implement it?
(24:40):
What implement it? Rather, what can they do to overcome
the challenges they face?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
So there are two key challenges that CEOs face as
they're doubling down on AI and trying to get a
better return on investments from AI. One is around data
and the other challenge is on people, which is interesting
right because we're talking about a technology. But let me
start with data. AI thrives on data, right, So the
(25:06):
more comprehensive and integrated, the better the data is. Unfortunately,
more than half of the CEOs in our study admit
that the rapid pace of technology investments has left them
with disconnected systems, which really limits the potential of AI
GREI To be effective, organizations really need to ensure their
(25:27):
data is accessible, it's integrated, it's high quality. So what
we would recommend is master the basics, right map your data,
find the gaps, close the weaknesses. So that's data. The
other big challenge they have is with people, and people
continue to be at the top of mind for CEOs
this year, and it's not surprising that two thirds of
the CEO say that AI is more about the people
(25:49):
than it is about the technology itself, because they really
need people who can adapt quickly and think critically and
lead amidst all of this change. A couple of data
points for you, that's interesting. A third of the workforce
needs to reskilling within the next three years. That's what
the CEOs are telling us, and over half of them
say that they're hiring for roles related to AI that
(26:10):
didn't exist a year ago. The lots of complexity around people.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Wow, so fascinating. Where can our listeners go for more information, sure,
so they can.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Go to IBM dot com for slash ibb, IBM dot
com for slash ibb. They can look at the twenty
twenty five CEO study to learn more about what you
and I just talked about. And there's also other thought
leadership about a AI on that site.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Terrific, Selma Lynn, thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
All right, great information, there no question about that. We
got some quick hits for you, and then we're going
to bounce into our last segment where it's you, you
and the tall guy in the back. Everybody hitting me
up with all kinds of things like predictions for NFL teams. Oh,
let me shake the magic eight ball, says ask again later,
(27:07):
just insert whatever team that is. But I did have
somebody ask me about the power ball and if I
knew what it was up to, so there was no
winner on Monday. It is over six hundred and forty
three million dollars. Wow, many, many, many, many, many many
many way, that's right. What do you do a cash
(27:28):
A cash payout would be two hundred and ninety point
six million, like all taxes taken out. That is serious cash.
So two people by the way, one in Arizona and
one in Texas where we have amazing listeners. Maybe it's
one of you. One one million in prizes, it's not
(27:50):
bad to win a million, right. Tickets, of course for
Powerball are forty five states. I look to make sure
where are the tickets. The odds are always the same
terrible or one in two hundred and ninety two point
two million for the top prize, you would feel really lucky.
(28:11):
You'd have to ask yourself, do you feel lucky? Because
you'd be lucky if you hit the power ball for
that much money. That is just crazy town. I think
you need time to digest it, to really realize that
you're you're defying the odds to win that kind of
a prize. I've had lottery winners. It's been a long time,
(28:33):
but I've had lottery winners on the show in the past,
and it's interesting what happens to their lives. Some of
them they just get turned upside down in a way
they didn't expect. Others, it gives them that economic freedom,
and then the ability is to help people even more
because they have such a bigger resources. And I love
(28:55):
hearing those stories. Right, I mean, you could do that
with two cents in your pocket. But the fact that
somebody hit some really incredible fortune and the fact that
they spread it out try to help charities who really
really needed good on them. Just when I started to
eat shrimp, I happen to see this today. The FDA
(29:18):
is warning us not to eat possibly radioactive shrimp sold
at Walmart. So it's what they're saying is it's this
great value raw frozen shrimp because it could have some
radioactivity in it. This isotope. Great. The US Customs and
(29:42):
Border Patrol alerted the FDA about this because they detected
it in shipping containers at not just one, not two,
not three, no my friends, four US ports, four ports,
So they're testing the frozen shrimp from the distributor. Indonesia's
(30:02):
BMS Foods also tested positive for it as well, so
it's just kind of a recall on all products from
there and what was shipped. You know, the shipping containers
tested positive one after the other after the other. So
basically it's just this flat out check your fridge just
(30:25):
in case you've got it shoved in there somewhere. Great
value brand frozen shrimp products not eaten like not at
all sold or served period. Just forget it, get rid
of it. I mean, that's it. All you have to
do is tell me that and I'm done. I'm done
(30:47):
with it. But sometimes people don't get that info. They
filter out what's happening in the world. That's why we
love doing this show, filling in the blanks. But you
get too much exposure to that that could cause death,
could cause burns and what they call a cute radiation sickness.
That makes sense for sure to me. Hey, it's Kate

Katie S Delaney and be part of the behind the
scenes magic. Yeah, we get some injuries as we open
(32:12):
up the man cave with that from the NFL. I've
said this couple of times that I've been throwing them
in here and there that yes, I mean, this is
a physical game. Injuries happen, They happen during preseason games,
they happened during drills. So, for example, the Cardinals players
like Jaden Davis cornerback and Starling Thomas cornerback both placed
(32:35):
on injured reserve questionable because of a concussion or several.
JJ Russell listed as questionable right Some other injuries in
include these, so this was a big one. The Jags,
Travis Hunter has had to work through an upper body injury,
(32:57):
and of course that's a big one. Following last week's practice,
Liam Cohen said Hunter was dealing with an upper body
injury and that it was just a precautionary thing, but
that he is day today. They are not concerned, they
say they're not concerned about They think he's going to
(33:17):
be absolutely fine and he's going to be the two
way star. They intend him to be full time on offense,
ease in on defense and earning more reps as the
season gets deeper and deeper. But he did miss a
week due to a minor injury. However, he's getting closer,
(33:41):
getting closer, and you want everybody healthy you can possibly have.
Let's face, let's be honest about that. New York Giants
had a massive injury update ahead of what's coming up
around the bend for them. It includes offensive tackle Andrew Thomas,
wide receiver Malik Neighbors, and running back Cam Scatabo will
(34:06):
miss over return rather to practice after missing time. Neighbors
had a back thing, Scataboo had a hammy injury, and
Thomas is just being activated from what I call the
pup list. It's all about timing and getting healthy before
(34:26):
the beginning of the season because they trust me. They
want to be there. They're not looking to leg it
out and not be there because of an injury. And
it's crazy how many significant injuries have happened. I mean,
everybody in their brother wighs in on. Maybe there's just
too much of it. Maybe that's what's so difficult. We've
(34:50):
been previewing the NFC. We did the NFC East the
other day, getting you ready for nail the score. This
time around, it's the NFC Southiked, Biked, Can we hear
that again, Mike? Those are two words I've never heard
(35:11):
before other than covering football, of course. All right, so
we'll go from Remember this is last year the Buccaneers
were ten and seven the Falcs were eight and nine,
the Panthers were five and twelve, the Saints were five
and twelve. If defense wins championships, then all of these
(35:31):
teams have to be looking at defense. But let's just
look at the Buccaneers. They've had injuries they've had to
deal with. They finished sixteenth in points against the and
eighteenth and in yards allowed lois since twenty nineteen, So
they got some problems here health wise, and they should
(35:55):
have a much better secondary. I think I said that
one night off the top of my head, and look
looking at their roster and talking to a few people,
the offense is almost fully intact, the biggest loss being
former uh O C Liam Cohen. So you've got to
look at teams you'd have to beat. Right, what are
(36:16):
the teams you have to beat? Commanders, Lions, Eagles beat
them all last year but lost to Dak Prescott less
Cowboys because he wasn't there at the you know, at
the time. So we look up and down at h
at the at the NFC as a whole, but we
look at specifically, so tough to the like I said,
(36:42):
the South, where you have Tampa Bay and the Saints
trying to side on quarterback, and then the Carolina Panthers
and the Falcons and that's you know, that's those are
those teams when you look at them. The Buccaneers to me,
I don't see how you go against the Buccaneers to
(37:03):
not follow up last season with a really really solid year.
I mean, they did just have to put one of
their top wide receivers with a neck injury on ir
but I think looking at you know, looking at again
their roster overall, I think it's tough to go. Tough
(37:27):
to go against Tampa Bay not winning that division. I
think the Saints and even the Panthers could win way
more than five games. And I think it's important because
you know, when the teams start to fold, there's more
and more pressure to keep things going, so that can
become so dangerous when when it's not going. I mean,
(37:50):
that's spottom of line.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
What it is.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
You know, I look at quarterbacks across the league, and
specifically you look at the the NFC South, you and
you look at Buccaneers last year clearly being finishing number one,
but then right after them and nipping at their heels
this time around, is the you know, is the Atlanta
(38:15):
Falcons and when you look at the Atlanta Falcons, I
don't care about the preseason. It's what we've seen in
the preseason with sometimes young, oldier quarterbacks. Is there kind
of a mentor relationship. If there's a mental relationship, I
think anybody would welcome. Anybody would welcome that, that's for sure. Also,
(38:38):
when we look ahead, you know, in the man Cave,
I feel so compelled each and every night to do
this because you're always beating me up, fam You're always
beating me up about this. But you want to know
the scores. I get it. You want to know the
scores of the Cubs and the Brewers. The Cubs beat
(38:58):
the Brewers six'. Four that it was a doubleheader game
one makeup from the day, before but they're not done,
yet so that's one. Game then you get the time in.
Between The cubs came back and won At wrigley for
one for. One, Meanwhile dodgers shut down The rockies, Eleven
(39:24):
reds got by The angels six For. Diamondbacks it really
held off The guardians. Defense But diamondbacks win by just
run six. Five AND i think there's a COUPLE i
might have glossed. Over, yes The tigers shut down The
(39:46):
astros with the six to one. Win The cardinals beat
The marlin seven to, Four Blue jays over The pirates
seven to. Three in, fact they made it look kind of.
Easy maybe it's just the point THAT i tuned and
to see the last couple of moments of the Man,
cave AND i missed a big one. Too not missed
(40:07):
it because it was on my, mind and actually somebody
even poked me about it earlier in the. Day but
The yankees at the franchise record with nine homers in a.
Game yankees knocked off The rays in a very very big,
way thirteen to. Three thirteen to. Three you can Bet Aaron,
(40:29):
judge of, course always has a hand in it. Somewhere
he's just been. Phenomenal And Gene Carlos stanton And Cody
bellinger both hit two home. Runs Aaron, judge, though lost
his fortieth of the. Season and The yankees get you,
know matched a franchise record with long nine long balls.
(40:52):
Too but if they finished last year where they, finished you,
Know toronto right, now number, One yankees number, two five games,
Back boston six games, Back Tampa bay twelve point. Five
you get, it so quite a few are either latch
(41:13):
key in it or have an aunt or a grandmother
that comes. Over BUT i, mean, WOW i mean just
looking at it and looking at what you know, again
looking at what's happening in baseball wrapping up and THE
nfl kicking, in and we have a big announcement at
(41:34):
the tail end of the show With nail The score
that is going to be so cake for. Everybody in
the very beginning of the first launch Of nail The,
Score so meaning the first game out of the, gate
you have so much time to think about this. Game
But i'm not going to spoil. It LIKE i, said
(41:55):
it's a surprise at the tail end of the hour
coming up as we close the door to the Man.
Cave Lindsey, willis who wrote the Book Be, there my
lived experience with my sister's bipolar, disorder talking about what
it's like in going through this as a family and
(42:18):
also what's it like to be a caretaker for somebody
who seems, fine as fine as going along and then
all of a sudden the wheels come off and you're
dealing with the aftermath of that and those conflicted feelings
that often a lot of people. Have author's, corner coming
up round.
Speaker 4 (42:37):
The bend on the show office.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
Bonner she asked about the. Books they rose really pleased
To welcome to the. Show Lindsay, Willis she's written a
very powerful book that you need to hear, about you
need to and you need to spread. Around And i'm
so serious about. THIS i talk about mental health so,
OFTEN i mean every day on every. SHOW i do
everything that we see where it. Leads what can we
(43:10):
do to help the, people what are we doing as a?
Nation all of, that and her story is so. Personal
be there and check out the Subtitle My Lived experience
with My sister's bi polar. Disorder and in this book
letters that her sister wrote when she was high meaning
high on what was happening to her manic, whatever or
(43:34):
when it was normal ish, Right and the book is so.
Beautiful the cover totally portrays. That and we're going to
talk about. That and you can See lindsay, there SO
i don't want to take up all the. Space, lindsay
thanks so much for coming.
Speaker 5 (43:46):
On thank you very much for having.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
Me so first of, all let's talk About. Betsy betsy
is your. Sister she was diagnosed at what twenty one
with bipolar.
Speaker 5 (43:56):
Brought, yes approximately that, Age, Yes and.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
What was that, like what do you remember conversations with
your parents or anything that happened Around betsy getting that.
Speaker 5 (44:07):
News but we always knew that she demonstrated kind of
bizarre behavior like bringing books to the, beach changing clothes
all the, time just being, manic, manic, manic, going, going,
going and then could get really. Nasty and then she
overdosed On kuelud's because and that's when they diagnosed. Her
but she was also using drugs back in the seventies
(44:30):
AND i think where she was smoking pot and doing you,
know those types of things and you, know to sedate her,
mania and she didn't you, know know what it. Was
so when you, helped you, know pot sedates. You so
she was doing all these things and then when she
was diagnosed with bipolar was, aha that's that's why she's
up and down all the. Time that's why she's manic
(44:51):
or depressed or or demonstrating really bizarre. Behavior.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
Yeah, SO i, mean so tough for family to deal with.
That and when you were a pair were, alive they
were primarily dealing with. It and of course you were
helping too as, well and you talk about all of
this in your. Book tell us some of the.
Speaker 5 (45:09):
Stories, well, uh my sister got caught shoplifting and that
was part of but that was before she was. Diagnosed
and kleptomania is one of the characteristics of someone would,
bipolar so my father had to deal with that and
keep it out of the. Paper my sister was could
be very very nasty and. Mean she was very abusive
and mean to me WHEN i was growing, up you,
(45:31):
know and people, say how could you taken care of
her for so many? Years because you, forgive you love,
somebody you're not going to just dump, them throw them
on a heap of you, know. Garbage but she was
very mean to. Me that was part OF i guess her.
Personality but also when she would get manick or, depressed
she would take it out on, me but we didn't
(45:52):
know what it. Was so before she was, diagnosed when
when she, was you, know hanging out with different guys
and getting, STONED i think that was because she was
trying to sedate herself because she was always, going, going,
Going she was a straight a. Student she could just do.
Anything she had, energy she could do. Anything, wow how.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Tough for everybody to deal with, that like you, said
straight a, student but then all these other things that
held her, down that held her. Back and at the,
time especially when she was, diagnosed people didn't really talk about,
it did they?
Speaker 5 (46:28):
Know you hide it in the. Closet my parents hid
it in the closet until the early until nineteen eighty.
Eight that when they moved To florida and retired eighty
seven eighty eight To Wormond, beach they finally let the
neighbors When betsy was living with them, that you, know
why is your daughter living at? Home they finally told.
People they never told anybody all those, years told nobody
(46:50):
about their daughter because she was living a fairly normal
life because it was hidden in the, closet.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Right, Right and so, obviously so you've dealt with this
your whole, life and from, afar what was it like
for you in the beginning in dealing.
Speaker 5 (47:07):
With, That, WELL i was living my own. Life she
was living her own, life and we, thought, well you,
know she's on this mild tranquilizer in, lithium she'll you,
know she'll Do. Okay she finished her master's, degree but
then it all fell. Apart you, know when she could,
over she could no longer take lithium and that was
the miracle. Drug you, know it's like. Assault and then
(47:28):
from there on in it all just was up and
down and spent a whole rest of her life in
and out of, hospitals in and out of, apartments going
through three, marriages getting. Evicted it just was a terrible.
Story and she was. Arrested she one time she had
was in jail for six. Months it was just some,
terrible terrible stories that we dealt, with you, know and
(47:52):
you know every time we dealt with, it we were
on the phone with. HER i was on the phone with.
Her it was just like to take a deep, breath
just get through the, day you, know and what else
is going to happen? Now and.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
You just.
Speaker 5 (48:07):
Wit but she was never on the. Street that was the.
Beauty we always promised that my sister will never my.
Daughter my sister is not going to live on the.
Streets we're going to help take care of.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
Her, yeah what made you decide you're going to? Write be?
Speaker 5 (48:20):
There my sister. Started my mother AND i thought Maybe
betsy should start writing a story of her life because
she was living at their house In Ormond beach and
about eighty eight eighty, nine and we, said why don't.
You that was about the point when she could no
longer work. Anymore my mother got around social security. Disability
she worked in psychiatric social. Work believe it or, not
(48:40):
she just couldn't do it. Anymore so my mother AND
i suggested that she start writing about her story about her,
life and she, did and that's the first couple pages
of the. Book she started, writing but she never. Finished
SO i, said, Well i'm going to finish the. Book
i'm going to write about, her SO i and me
because it affected. Me it affected me my whole life
and still still affects me. Today SO i wrote the,
(49:03):
book put it down for twenty, years picked it up,
again and finished. It my parents read the first drap
and they, said this a book will get published one.
Day it's better than the book we read Called My Sister's.
Keeper SO i had to get a story out there
AND i wanted people to know about. It and then
once it was, PUBLISHED i, said oh my, God now
what AM i going to? Do AND i came up
with another plan AND i, said, No i'm going to
(49:25):
GIVE i want to go get big so it can
give money to help.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
People, yeah we're going to we'll talk about that in a,
second but it with the. Book what's so unique is
the way you lay it out because you have letters
that she wrote that you were.
Speaker 5 (49:38):
Referenced, yes AND i, well As i'm, writing AND i
thinking of all, this AND i we did the table of.
CONTENTS i had all these thought processes and creative, ideas
AND i, said wait a, Second you've got letters your
sister wrote you from many many years, ago through all her.
Life you kept. Them why DID i keep? THEM i,
said SOMEDAY i could use, this tons of family pictures
(50:01):
THAT i scanned BECAUSE i keep. Things AND i, SAID
i got to put this in the. Book and then family.
Archives my great grandmother was, bipolar but they didn't know that,
then and there's a picture of her in, there and
there's letters that she, wrote so there's family archives and
there's a genetic. Link and SO i got to put
all this in the. BOOK i got to put the
letters in the book because the letters validate part of
(50:22):
What i'm. Writing so people could read the book and they, said,
oh so what this person could be making This, No
i'm not making it. Up here's a letter she wrote.
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Me, Right and the letters are really, SAD i, mean
the letters really show what it was like to live
in her, head Don't They.
Speaker 5 (50:42):
Very. Sad and she was a good, writer and she
wrote some really good letters that were like with, poetry
and she wrote things at the beginning of the book
where she gave advice to. Me and THEN i, wrote you,
KNOW i wrote the letter to my sister when she.
Died it was in the beginning the. BOOK i wrote
a letter to her with you, know BECAUSE i felt
(51:04):
THAT i owed that to. Her you. Know but she
was a good, writer and she could have. Been she
could have, been she could have been had a wonderful, life.
Speaker 1 (51:12):
Right but there was just no definitive cure for WHAT
i call a mental. Disease we say mental, illness but mental.
Disease it's just so different when someone's an alcoholic and
they go TO, aa when someone's dealing with something else
that they're dealing with with terrible, things, cancer et. Cetera
there's just a different reaction from the, world isn't there
(51:34):
to when you say the blanket mental.
Speaker 5 (51:36):
Illness, yeah because people, say Oh, god stay away from that,
person and oh you, know and and it's like not
in my, backyard and you, know that person is so.
Bizarre and you see people walking on city streets and
they kind of walk away from the peace of the,
person lay in the street or you, Know New York,
city AND i see these. People those people are a
(51:56):
lot of those people are mentally. Ill and you're walking
into city streets and they're you, KNOW i go To
New york about three five times a, year and they
and they they're walking, around you, know they're mentally you,
know they're talking to, themselves they're dressed, weird and people
just kind of walk by them and get away from,
them you, know move move us far away from the
curve as you can get away from, them you. Know
and a lot of them don't like. Living they're used
to living on the. Streets but if they had somewhere
(52:18):
decent that they all could go to and, live maybe
they wouldn't all be on the.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
Streets, yeah such a such a good.
Speaker 5 (52:26):
POINT i, Mean god, forbid it's an. Embarrassment we don't
want those people in. Art we don't want those people
and you, know in our in our neighborhood on the.
Street but you, can't you can't remove them from the.
STREET i don't think that's. Allowed that you have to
allow them to be out on the sidewalk like everybody else's.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
Right exactly the four. Seas you talk about the four
seas in your Book so important talk about?
Speaker 5 (52:51):
That, well, okay let me go to the section of the.
Book we have the four, seas page one seventy. Two four.
Seas you cannot cure, it you didn't cause, it you
cannot control, it and you must cope with. IT i
added the FOURTH i added the fourth. Seat you must
cope with. It you really have no. Choice the only
(53:13):
way you don't cope with it is to wash your
hands of the person completely and have absolutely nothing to
do with. THEM i have met people in my life
who have said they have A bodo brother and, says, oh,
yeah well his schizophrenic or he's. Bipolar how's he.
Speaker 4 (53:27):
DOING i have no.
Speaker 5 (53:28):
Idea we have nothing to do with it with, Him
so you must cope with. It to have nothing to
do with the, person unless they've threatened your, life that's one,
thing and you you, know but to not be able
to cope with it and to just discard that person
is very. Cruel, yeah you can't cure, it so you've
(53:48):
got to do whatever you can to realize that you
you didn't cause. It you can't cure, it you can't control.
It and to cope with. It you can come up
with coping strategies for being help that, person you, know
but it's not your. Fault you're not the cause of their,
problems even though they've tried to blame. You my sister
(54:08):
tried to blame me for her. Behavior, NO i. UNDERSTAND
i didn't cause you to be. MANIC i didn't cause
you to do, This but she used to throw it
in life space Like i'm the one that did. It,
NO i didn't cause you to do.
Speaker 1 (54:20):
This back with more of Doctor Lindsay willis and her
Book Be, There My Lived experience With My Sister's bipolar.

(54:42):
On Author's. Corner in, fact her Book Be, There My
Lived experience with my sister's bipolar. Disorder so we've been
talking about things that have happened with your. Sister but
it's so tough on the. Caretakers SO i can only
imagine what that was like for. You what what is
it like being the? Caretaker it had to have taken
(55:03):
a massive toll on.
Speaker 5 (55:04):
You oh and, yeah it took a toll on. Me
my whole life THAT i note in the book ways
THAT i. Cope one of the ways THAT i don't
in my. Life my whole life is. RUNNING i used
to be a marathon, runner my, husband My duci's. HUSBAND
i ran marathons into, triathlons so that kicks in the.
Endorphins And betsy exercised a lot, too so she. Tried
she was always a good exerciser to the best of her.
(55:26):
Ability and that, helps you, know sedate you a little
bit and calms. You it's like a. Drug running is
exercises like a. Drug it certain get you can mellows
you out a little. Bit so that was a Coping Macasine.
Lisen i've had my whole life.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
Exercising, yeah THE i mentioned the book you know at the,
top and what a great cover it. Is it's a
woman on the cover Who's, betsy and you see this
wonderful side of her. Face it's just. Amazing it's beautiful,
flowers all of, that and then the other that is much.
Dark how'd you come up with that?

Concept, Well Sue miller came up with. It sue's the.
ONE i just gave her a picture Of. Betsy here's
the pictures in the, Book and here's a picture Of.
Betsy why don't you take her face and? Paint And
sue came up with. This so the dark, SIDE i
mean the spiders and the snake and the terrible things

(56:25):
called it the black. Hole betsy's black hole was so
deep that's when you think about committing. Suicide so it's all,
Black sue. THOUGHT i didn't Tell. Sue sue did that all.
Herself all the black you look at, It so that is.
Awful did you imagine feeling that? Way the tears and
the and the snake and the, CROW i mean when they're,
(56:46):
depressed they are really really. Depressed.
Speaker 1 (56:48):
Yeah. Absolutely when people read the, there what do you
hope they take, Away.
Speaker 5 (56:54):
Well they take away that, empathy. Compassion you, know that's
why these people are the way they. Are, OH i
understand why these people do. This look at all the
characteristics of the bipolar. Person you, know IF i can
help help out in the community, center assistant living the,
city MAYBE i will. That you, Know oh my, God

one it's so scary to. Me this is like a
four year health. Thing that the fifth person has died
after A legionaire's disease. Outbreak, second dozens of people In
New York. City, Great i'm headed To New York city
and this is you, know according to their health. Officials of,
(01:00:08):
course it happened In Central. Harlem it sickened the people In,
july in Late, july and the latest death was announced
On monday. Night so fourteen people were hospitalized as of
the beginning of this, week according to The New York
City Health. Department and of, course do you know What
legionaire's disease. Is it's that bacteria that causes the aptly
(01:00:30):
Name legionnaire's disease that was discovered in twelve cooling towers
on ten, buildings Including and this is, scary, right any
of it's, scary but a city run hospital and a
sexual health clinic, Too so of course there's remediation efforts
that are happening, now and they're completed on the cooling,
(01:00:51):
towers but too, late right for everybody else that was
caught up in. That and you, know this is a,
Disease LIKE i, said what is. It it's a type
of pneumonia that's caused by the neat Lead janella bacteria
that grows in warm water and spreads through building water.
Systems so that outbreak was linked to those cooling, towers
(01:01:12):
which use water and a fan to cool. Buildings you,
know people when they get, this they usually have these,
symptoms a, cough, fever, headaches muscle, aches shortness of breath
between two days to two weeks after they get exposed
to the. Bacteria that's what THE cdc says. Anyway so
what they're telling people In New York city is if
(01:01:33):
you live or work in the, area you have to,
contact you, know a healthcare provider if you have any
kind of flu like. Symptoms it seems like if you
have any kind of symptoms like the, flu it could
be something, else, Right but it's not a funny. MATTER i,
mean legionneers is so serious and it's so. Scary, boy
(01:01:53):
DO i feel for the families of the people who
who died from, that, right five people, dead all those
other people. Sick. Geez all, right let's turn to something
else THAT i, saw you, know while we are holding
our breath With, aaron and what's happening there as it's
hitting The East coast and the outer. Banks so many
(01:02:14):
of those pockets have been, evacuated which completely makes, sense
AS i discovered myself with, hurricanes you just don't know
what's going to. HAPPEN i, mean you, know you watch,
it you watch, it watch. It you could, say on one,
hand the good news is there is some. Warning but
the other side of is it when you talk about,
surges because they're talking about that there could be there's
(01:02:36):
going to be a surge when you talk about big
waves and rip currents and high seas and all, that
but it's really going to center between THE us And.
Bermuda so you, know lots and lots of people have already.
Evacuated but we keep talking about rip currents on this,
show and we've had people on to talk about, it
and have you ever been caught up in? One and
(01:02:58):
they've got flags all over the beach, dangerous dangerous rip.
CURRENTS i, mean red giant. Flags they had to rescue
about sixty people At Wrightsville, beach and that of course
led to, okay we can't keep doing this a no swim.
Order so if you think about where that, is you Think,
wilmington and so many people go To, wilmington Right and
(01:03:22):

be a. Surprise you. Know we let you hear From
Hurricane center Director Mike, brennan who said over the, Weekend,
