Speaker 5 (02:43):
Well on what I think I think there's some kind
of deviated prebot dum Well, Good evening, everybody. It is

(03:23):
Alan Ray, Sunday Night with Alan Ray. Yet just heard
in the Crease with Jeff great show, great show. Before that,
you heard Cornymic Corn's reading Room. Good to have him
on Sunday nights too. Sunday nights on KLAUR and radio
are really starting to I mean they're taking shape. They're here.
If you're not joining us on Sunday evening, shame on you.

(03:44):
Shame on. You started out with just pretty much Jeff
and I and we've grown and we've developed, and what
a great time. It's great. I missed y'all last week.
I miss y'all. We had some technical difficulties, just didn't
cut it. High speed fiber internet is slowly creeping, slowly

(04:09):
creeping to my house. It's connected to the side of
my house right now. Now we just have to get
all of the things inside of the house and we
have to get them hooked up to all the other things.
So I've got high speed. I can't wait. I really
can't wait. So, but an interesting week, kind of a

(04:34):
kind of depressing when it worked. Not going to talk
about that. We dodged a bullet. We dodged a bullet.
Folks with a it looks like Hurricane Aaron is going
to go on up the coast. What were they calling that?
A fish hurricane. It's going to be a fish hurricane.
All the fish are going to drown. It looks like
it's going to miss us. We may get some riptides,

(04:56):
we may get some rain on the coast, but welcome
to hurricane season twenty twenty five. They got me thinking,
I'm not going to dwell the whole show on this
because I've got other things I want to talk about.
But two things. Number one, and I've preached this ad nauseum.
I've preached this, have a bug out bag, ready, a

(05:17):
bug out bag. I've never been in a hurricane, Okay,
but I still learned a lot of lessons in twenty
twenty four, unsettling lessons. Lessons that I had to rethink
some of the things I did not on the bugging
out part. The bugging out part, that's pretty good. You know,
access to water, a way to pull clean drinking water,

(05:41):
one of those life straws. A couple of those life
straws are cheap, very efficient water purification tablets, things like
that fire starting equipment, as already's infamous. His Now everybody
should have one of the backpack pencil sharpeners. Those those
titanium pencil sharpeners, great little deals. I mean, you could

(06:04):
take a stick and these things are just killer. You
could make all kinds of little fire starting stuff on
them and light them up. Your bug out bag should
be complete. We are heading into winter. If you're in
the north, if you're in the snow zone, your bug
out bags should be taking shape. I know it's been hot,
I know it's been nasty. I know it has been

(06:25):
ninety one degrees in the state of Michigan. But you
should be thinking this far enough ahead and getting ready
so it doesn't catch off guard. If you're on the coast,
if you're anywhere where this rain's gonna hit, this should
already be done. And when they tell you to leave,
don't be arrogant, don't be stupid. If you're on the coast,
within side of the water, get out, go away, Go

(06:47):
do something else. Drowned dead people are not all that tough,
you know, live to fight another day. By the way, guys, hey,
thanks everybody in the chat room. We got political junkie,
politics junkie in the chatroom. We got already in the

(07:08):
chat room. We got Jeff you just heard in the
crease in the chat room. Thanks guys for hanging out
with me tonight. The bug out bag should already be there.
I've preached them ad nauseam. I'll preach them again. I'll
have stuff. But what we found is a lot of
places because of the result of last year's hurricanes, we're

(07:33):
forced forced, du no fault of their own, to bug in.
By bugging in, I mean staying home, hunkering down, preparing
for what's to come. And it's a lot like bugging out,
except you've got the luxury of being able to store more,

(07:55):
more food, more water, more essentials, freeze dry. I had food.
I recommend you know, for lengthy periods of times, several
several meals of freeze dried food per person. The calories
might get you through ways again to filtrate, purify water,

(08:15):
fire starters, ways to boil water. But one of the
things I noticed last year at the hurricane season, some
things that were a brutal lesson a lot of the
people up in the hills North Carolina, Mountains of North Carolina,
up in Tennessee. And you didn't hear much about the
hills of Tennessee, but it's all right there. They all

(08:37):
suffered the same. They had their food, they had their water.
They are the essentials. The ones that were above the
floodplain or were affected by it were out of entered,
out of power, out of power for days, weeks, months,

(09:00):
And it made me rethink my my energy scheme for
bugging in. Yes, I have a generator. I have a
massive generator. I have a generator that will run this
whole stinking house. And I have run that baby for days.
I gotta get it in for some uh some maintenance.
If there's one thing I want one hundred percent at
all times, just my my gas generator, sixty five hundred watts.

(09:22):
It's got about four one twenty outlets, a big two
twenty outlets. It will run things. Trust me, it does
run things. But I added to that. I added to that,
and I'm gonna tell you why. I added two power banks.
I added a blue Eddy AC one eighty and a
blue Eddy EB three A. The AC one eighty is

(09:45):
pretty powerful. It's pretty good. It'll it'll run a refrigerator
all night. It'll give you lights all night long. Of course,
you know, if you've played your cards right and you
have solar lights, you have things like that. You don't
really need them, but you have access to electricity all
night long. The EB three A is tiny. It's a

(10:07):
little bogger. I can run a ham radio on that
a low powered ten watt my ZEIGU X sixty one
hundred or my G ninety twenty watts. I can run
that radio on that little EB three A for hours,
hours without running it down. And that's transmitting. That's that's

(10:29):
pushing it pretty hard. That's transmitting. That's not just sitting
listening to a radio. So I added those and I'm
probably going to get the next size up, the A
C two hundred, because I think that AC two hundred
will actually if I needed to on a pinch run
my well pump, I'm gonna get one because I got
a half horse well pump. Let me let me tell

(10:50):
you my thought process here. And you may or may
not live in the country, you may not have a
well pump, but my thought process is I want something
in a power bank, non gas generator to kick off
that well pop. And I'll tell you why. Between the
one eighty and I'm going to get that two hundred,
probably this year. At some point in time, the EB
three A, along with the gas generator. After a while,

(11:12):
gas was running out up in the hills. After a while,
people couldn't get to gas stations. People couldn't get to
areas where they had gasoline to run their gas generators.
They were failing one a lot of them had, and
what was being passed out by benevolent charities, people who
really knew what they were doing. And one of our
own mutual friends of Kaylaarron Radio, who you know, she's

(11:35):
always always on Twitter on x Anna, she had that
Blueoody AC one eighty and I asked her about I say, hey,
is that is that AC one eighty? She goes, yeah,
sure is. Somebody gave one to me with a solar panel.
I've been living off of it for weeks. I was like,
that's genius. You know I already had one, But this

(11:57):
is why I added these things. So I've added the
blue Eddy AC one eight. I've added the EB three
A between those two. If you don't need heat, and
you know you can shut things down, go quiet, go
silent like you'll want to eventually, that will give you

(12:18):
enough energy to you know, you can run your fridge
all night. You could take turns with your fridge and
your freezer, you know, go back and forth, plug them in. Yeah,
it's gonna be a pain in the butt. I'm seriously
thinking I'm going to get a bigger generator just to
go full house, you know, and there's not a lot.
I don't have to have a lot of electricity in
this house. I can run just about everything and it

(12:38):
barely bogs down that gas generators. But I want just
enough where if I need to go silent, I'll have
this stuff at my disposal with a couple of solar
panels that add up to two hundred watts, because both
of these blue eddies that I have here, they go

(12:59):
two hundred wats. That's what you can charge them with.
And you can run those things off of the solar
panel along with the charger, and it's passed through pass through,
so you can go solar charger. You know. You can
have your solar panel out into your battery bank into
whatever you want to run all day long, and it'll
last extra extra long time if you're charging it while
you're using it. So I'm recommending that if you've got

(13:24):
the money to spare, pick you up a couple of
these little power banks and a couple of sold you know,
two hundred bots worth of solar panels, because when the
gas runs out, you're gonna need something. And the blue Eddy.
The reason I recommend those, and I don't get paid
to recommend them. The reason I do recommend them is
they are you can charge them a lot more. They

(13:45):
have several more charging you know, over their lifetimes, they
go a lot longer. They also have you know, a
lot more information. They got a phone app you can use.
You know, you can roll over in the middle of
the night and see how much power you have. So
I'm adding that I have added these to my collection
and I've already used them. I've already used them. We've

(14:06):
had minor power outages where it's just like, you know,
don't worry about My wife loves them because she's not
out there trying to pour gas in the generator trying
to get it fired up, pulling on that cord. You
just plug stuff in and you just push the little
button and things turn on. And she likes that emergency comms.
I've updated that a little bit too for the bug

(14:26):
in station. And guys, I know some of you tuning in,
if you're tuning in for the first time, Okay, I
go a little bit prepperish on this show. Guys in
the chat, I know it's a shock to you, but
I do tend to get a little prepperish. I just
do as far as coms go. Yeah, you know me,
I just a little I've got coms, I got communications.

(14:49):
I'm a ham radio operator.

Speaker 7 (14:50):
You know.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
I've got all the things here. But I'm talking about
you right now. You should have at your disposal an
AM FM, shortwave single side b and capable radio. I've
got a text on PL eight eighty and it's absolutely phenomenal.
I did buy one of these here well back, I've

(15:10):
all one of these Chinese radios. It was pretty cool.
They boasted a pretty good boast. It's AMFM, short wave,
single side band, all the things, and it's got internet access.
You can do internet radio and all that. I'm gonna
be totally honest with you. The internet radio freaking rocks.
FM radio rocks. Short wave kind of sucks. AM definitely sucks.

(15:36):
I don't like either one of them on this, but
it was worth the money because the internet radio is
pretty cool. I listened to a lot of it. But
the text sun is really sensitive. The text on gets
you a decent single side band. Learn how to use it.
You will hear people in what they call emergency nets.
You will hear them communicating with each other. Now that said,

(16:01):
what else a CB? Sure? Why not? Why not a
citizens band radio? Why not a CB four watts? You
get the antenna out there a little bit, get it
up above the trees. Learn how to use it. It's just
like a HAM radio. It's this is eleven meter. Learn
how to use it. Set up, pre set up, set
up before things happen. A little community of people that

(16:23):
have them too, and and get on them once a week,
do a quick check, do a little what they call
a net where you just check in, say hey, how
you doing, blah blah blah, these things working, Yes, they're working.
Make yourself a little network. There's no reason why you
should have a CB. The new fmcbs sound absolutely phenomenal,

(16:44):
not to mention the fact, if you really want to
get into it, the fccs now allows you to go
single sideband on a CB with twelve watts. Just for reference,
twelve watts. Ah that X sixty one hundred I have
is only ten watts. At zaygu X sixty one hundred
HF I have is only ten watts. And I've talked

(17:05):
to people in Oklahoma and all over the world in it.
A CB will not get you out that far. It's local,
the communication is local. But twelve wats in a single
sign band is a lot farther than four watts on
AM or FM. But nonetheless, in a small community, if
you live in a couple of blocks away, you got

(17:25):
four or five people who've got your six and want
to take participate. Get a bunch of CB radios and
learn how to use them. It's free, they're yours. That's
why they're called citizens band. You want to get that
cheap bowt fang, go ahead, get that cheap bowl fang.
If it's an emergency, you can use it. You can

(17:45):
use it. In North Carolina, people who were not Ham
radio operators at all were calling in on these repeaters
and they were trying to find loved ones, trying to
figure out what's going on. They didn't have a license,
but it was an emergency. In the FCC definitively says,
if it's an emergency situation, you can use Ham radio frequencies.

(18:06):
I still recommend you at least get a tech license.
I still recommend you get licensed up because then you
can practice openly while things are calm, preparing for thing
for emergencies. Get a community, going get friends in the
ham radio community, learn how to communicate, so you're ready,

(18:28):
but be ready nonetheless, at least have a CB. And finally,
here's a couple of ones that surface that I really
didn't think about. Well, I've preached about getting a Noah
Weather radio. Get the Noah Weather radio. There are a
lot more sophisticated nowadays. They can dial in right to
your area, right to your zip code, right to your

(18:50):
general vicinity, and they won't go off. You know, if
something's going on three counties away, that doesn't go off
obnoxiously and wake out of a dead sleep. It only
goes off. To get emergency right in your area. Get one.
They're not that expensive. What fifty bucks I think. But
here's what I never thought of. And this is what

(19:11):
happened last year with and I actually watched a video
by a guy who he was running on battery backup.
He had a starlink internet access and he made a
YouTube video and he says, it's something I'd never thought
would happen, says, the two best forms of communication I
have right now. He was stuck in North Carolina in
the hills, hadn't had power for days, says the two

(19:33):
best communication items I've had this whole time are CBE
radio and an old analog police scanner. He goes, none
of the digital is working up here. All of the
emergency places have gone analog, and getting the news, I'm
using the scanner. He goes. I've had all the police

(19:54):
channels and their backup analog stations in this notebook. I
programmed them in and that's all I'm here. I'm hearing
all the traffic. You can buy these analog scanners. You
can go to swap meets, you can go to eBay
places like that, and you can get you a Uni
Den eight hundred XLT, which used to be the king,

(20:17):
the king of police scanners before they all went digital
and trunking. I have one sitting right off here to
my left. I have all the airban frequencies in it.
But but I also have a printed copy of all
the emergency backup channels for all the police, rescue, state, federal, FEMA.

(20:41):
I can program them in there in an instant and
run this bad boy and listen to what's going on.
Real cheap effective way to have on hand and do
what I did. Like I said, the airban frequencies, that's
a blast. I just sits there all day and I
you know, I'm in Detroit Metro's flight path. I listen
to planes fly over all day, sometimes sitting here working

(21:02):
at my desk. But if things go south, it'll only
take me about five minutes to program all the emergency
protocols in here, all of the channels that they use analog.
When digital goes down, and digital does go down, you
just think about it. If you lose Internet on a
wide scale, you lose cell towers on a wide scale,

(21:26):
you lose all your trunking frequencies. They go down, so
they have to go back up. You can go to
radio reference dot com and get all of your local frequencies.
Write them down on a nice little book, print them out,
print them out, put them in a folder someplace next
to your scanner where you can find them. And if

(21:47):
the proverbial do doo, it's the fan. You can punch
all these things in and you will have information when
nobody else will. So there you have it. That is
my updated bugging. In additions that you should be looking at, Yeah,
have the food, have the water, you know, even the
FEMA site, even the FEMA site has a pretty good

(22:09):
comprehensive list of things you should have on hand during
an emergency. They're not bad, but hearing what's going on
flying blind in the middle of a situation. I can't
think of anything worse than being going blind communication wise,
in the middle of an emergency, being stuck up in

(22:30):
those hills, not knowing what was going on, being there
in Florida when that other the next hurricane hit knocked
out a whole bunch of on the west coast of Florida,
knocked out a whole bunch of cities, cell phones and
stuff like that in that area. I can't think of
anything worse outside of starving and freezing to death. If
I'm bugging in, then flying blind in a situation, no communication,

(22:55):
no not hearing anything of what's going on in the
outside world. So I can make rational decisions based on
the knowledge. So hopefully, guys in chat, you know, I'm
preaching to the choir in chat. I know, I really
do know these guys already know we talk. Jeff, you know,

(23:20):
I know he's uh, he worked on a lot of stuff.
I'm getting ready. But the bugging in parts a little
bit different. The bugging in part is, you know, it's
it's things you should have anyways. It's long term. It's
like national global emergency where you're you know, you you've
got to survive, and you also have to think in different,

(23:46):
you know, different timeframes. You have to think three days,
you have to think three weeks, you have to think
three months, and you have to think three years. What
is your long term plan? Do you have a live
ary of printed books of all of your great grandparents'
knowledge that they had, great great grandparents, knowledge that they

(24:09):
had pertaining to growing food, making clothes, making lie soap
with ashes and stuff from fires, all of the things
that we feel we don't need anymore as a society
because we live in an instant society. We live in
a society of instant gratification of just on time delivery.

(24:33):
Last year should have been a pretty good signal, flare
that you need to think about these things. Nobody, I
guarantee you, nobody in North Carolina in the summer of
twenty twenty fourth thought about what was going to happen.
Yet there they were, staying warm, staying cool, all the

(24:53):
stuff bugging in let's face it, folks, You know I
said this during the Biden administration because I didn't trust
any of them. And it turns out I was completely right,
completely I nailed it that they were heading towards World
War three and they were too stupid to know what
to do about it. We're not done with that yet,

(25:16):
we're not over it. You have and I don't. I'm trying,
and I'll tell you why in a little bit. But
you have our president president putin, you have Zelensky, a scammer.
They're all meeting back and forth trying to end this conflict.

(25:38):
You've got you've got bad players right here in the
good old us of A who don't want that conflict
ended because they're making money. They're making kickbacks on it.
They're invested in the war machine, and they're cleaning up
when there's violence. And now I read that they there's

(25:59):
going to be europe being leaders coming over with Zelensky
this time. Oh, they're gonna show that Donald Trump guy
a thing or two. Should be funny. So it's just
one of those deals where we're not out of the
woods yet. We really are not. Let's face it, what

(26:25):
this current administration is doing right now, it's pissing off
a lot of people in Europe. It's pissing off a
lot of people in Asia. It's definitely pissing off a
lot of people in Russia and Ukraine. They all might
pull together and decide to take America out. They all might,
just seven or eight of them pull together and decide
to come after the United States and invade this country.

(26:46):
You don't know. It would be stupid, it would be foolheartedly.
They'd be like shooting ducks in a barrel. But they
might try. You never know. You don't know what tomorrow
is going to do. So be ready. You don't have
to dig holes, you don't have to do you know,

(27:06):
be crazy about it. But I have a plan, have
a plan, have provisions on hand that could cover you
up to a month. Ninety nine And I've said this before,
I'll say it again, ninety nine percent of all emergencies
ninety nine percent. It's a rarity that you have an
emergency in your area that lasts more than thirty days. Yeah,

(27:32):
I heard that too, Jeff says. I heard someone tonight
mentioned you may live forever, but relish the now. That's
exactly it. And don't don't fret and stew and have
anxieties over the future, but be prepared for the future,
be an asset, not a liability. Reach the bottom of

(27:54):
the hour. My god, this just goes by fast.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
You know.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
I miss one week and it's like, ah, what am
I going to talk about? And guys, I'm gonna tell
you this before I go to break. I've been having
a heck of a time. I don't get on Twitter
as much as I used to. I don't really listen
to the news much anymore. I get up in the morning,
I look out my window, I look out my door
with my cup of coffee, I walk out onto my

(28:20):
patio and things are going all right. The skys aren't
glowing with nuclear haze. They are kind of hazy with
Canadian secondhand smoke. But whatever, the economy's smoothing out. I know,
I know the news and all of the you know,

(28:42):
usual people are like, oh, the economy is terrible. It's
been terrible for four years. I find it's getting a
little bit better these days. And you know, gas isn't
three twenty five three point fifty a gallon. It's down
to like two ninety two eighty. It's easy to get.
We don't have stupid and shortages like we had. It's

(29:02):
all starting to smooth out, so I'm having a hard
time coming up with content. I'm gonna tell you the
truth and I'm gonna tell you what I did when
I come back, because it's really kind of funny and
uh turned out to be one of the lamest things
ever did. We're gonna take a short break. We'll be
right back at Sunday night with Alan Ray. Don't go anywhere.

Hey Randy, what you're doing?

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Oh hey Dave, I'm just making a list of things
that make me feel really really good.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Wearing Bomba socks. Trust me, that's number one on my list.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Bomba Socks feels so good because we use the smartest
design and best materials, making them the most comfortable socks ever.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Plus, because socks are the number one most requested clothing
item been homeless shelters, we donate a pair for every

Doom press the button mail. Hey there it is Hi.
I've got a microphone now, so welcome back. It is
Sunday Night with Ellen Ray. It's the show where we
look around this ginormous blue ghetto rock that we are
hurtling through space unimaginable speed. We asked the eternal question,

(32:25):
do I think there's some kind of deviated prebrit You
want to know what I think? I think you're all a
bunch of deviated preverts.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
What the white wide world of sportunes are going on?

Speaker 7 (32:40):
Here?

Speaker 5 (32:40):
There we go. That's the line. That's the question, although
the deviated prevert one is probably pretty good too. And
those of you who don't know what that's from, that's
doctor strange. My The guys. I'm sure the guys in
Chad they all know what that quotes from Doctor Strangelove.
But if you're listening, if you're one of the I
don't know twenty five people listening, that's what that's from.

(33:01):
So I did this thing right. I went into artificial intelligence.
I want into groc today and I asked the question, said, crock,
give me the top ten news stories. Top ten news
stories from the most reliable sources that have absolutely nothing

(33:27):
to do with Donald Trump. And after an unusually kind
of creepy pause, it spit out some news stories. Some
of them interesting, not really. They're all lame, every one

(33:47):
of them, completely lame, completely lame. Ladies and gentlemen, You
now know why, you know why. Now the media needs
Donald Trump. The media is living and breathing Donald Trump. Yes,

(34:07):
they hate him, Yes they want him. God, they don't
really want him gone. They want him to be humiliated
and just keep the cameras on him while he trudges
the world crying. They have to have him, They need
him because the rest of the top stories are darn

(34:28):
near completely lame. Let's see what we got here, And
we've already discussed the hurricane that wasn't even part of it.
Let's see, Oh, here we go. Cloudburst search continues in
Jamu and Kashmir. Apparently, and I don't know if you
saw this or not, there was this like horrible rainstorm

(34:49):
in Kashmere and in the surrounding areas and there's a
lot of people missing. I didn't hear anything about it.
I haven't heard anything about it in any newsburb. But
apparently there there was a problem and it's ongoing, and
there's people that are buried in mud. Was reiter So
this is al jazeras you know, they for some reason

(35:11):
thought this was trusted but whatever, so's rescuers search for
missing after devastating Kashmir cloud burst. So apparently it rained
a lot. This is this, Remember guys, remember this is
the top ten stories. They have nothing to do with
Donald Trump. This is number one. You know, you pray

(35:31):
for the people of that area because, I mean, this
looks horrible the picture they show it look like it
looks like they just got land based by rain and ongoing, says.
Teams of disaster management officials, police and soldiers aided by
local villagers are coming through devastated Himalayan village of Socidi.
There's also let's see rescue operations Pauls over night. After
successfully evacuating at least three hundred people on Thursday following

(35:53):
a powerful cloud burst that triggered devastating floods and landslides,
meteorologists are predicting more heavily rainfalls flooding the region. Okay, okay,
that's kind of interesting, all right, but that's the top story.
That's the biggest one. Now for the weirdest one. You

(36:13):
ready for this one? This is number two. You're gonna
love it. And I'm proving to you guys that the
mainstream of the legacy media, the media that hates, hates
our current president. They need him so very badly because
they have nothing else. They have nothing else. There's no

(36:35):
boogeyman out there, there's no news other than how horrible
our current president is for them. This is number two.
I'm at a bad man. I'm at a bad I
guess it's Turkish, I don't know. I'm met a bad
man arrested with whale vomit worth Rs two crore, which

(36:58):
is their money. I guess supplier is on the run.
So apparently apparently this man forty three Raju or his
alias's Rajesh Marwadi. Apparently during interrogations, Rajash revild that he
got the whale vomit from Ganesh Marwadi from from Mumbai

(37:21):
had supplied and then what they call this is ambergris
to Rahu, So this they're looking for a guy named
Ganesh Marwadi. So apparently whale vomit is sought after for

(37:42):
perfume reasons, highly sought after in the perfume industry. They
call it ambergris. But what it is, it's it's whale vomit.
It can fetch up to forty thousand dollars per kilogram.
It's lucrative protect stems from its ability to extend the
longevity of fragrances, leading to increased demand or despite its rarity.

(38:07):
So this guy was snuggling in whale vomit and it's
worth forty thousand dollars per kilogram. Folks, if I'm going
to turn to crime, I don't know. I mean, whale
vomit sounds like it might be something to look into.
And if it's whale vomit, what's the big deal? I
mean the whales done using it? Right? I had to

(38:28):
look into this. A little bit. But apparently what happens is.

Speaker 7 (38:34):
Was this.

Speaker 5 (38:35):
Ambergriss, often dubbed floating gold, is a waxy substance produced
by sperm whales. It forms and whales consume indigestible materials,
eventually expelling them as ambergriss. It's rarety in practicality and
perfumery as a fragrance fixative fixative makes it exceptionally value.
So why is it outlawed? I mean, the whales done
using it, They've blown chunks, they're done with it. Apparently

(38:59):
there's something that is very very illegal about it. Forty
thousand dollars per kilogram for whale vomit. Who knew? Who
did you know? Did the really Future Ama had an
episode with it? I didn't know that. Justica's Future Ama.
I watch Futurama. I don't ever remember this. So there

(39:22):
you have it. That's number two. Okay, we'll give them
that one. We'll get from that one. That was pretty interesting.
It was interesting. Canada resumes flights after strike ends, so
Reuters had this. Routers is supposed to be uh Kiff
ends up covered in it. Oh dude, you're gonna have

(39:43):
to hit me up with a link to that in
my DMS later because I'm gonna have to watch that.
Sounds like I'm so naive, Ladies and gentlemen. I didn't
know anything about any of this, Okay, So anyways, the
new King of Canada or whatever he is, dictator of Canada.

(40:05):
I don't know this new guy. He told the Canadian
Airlines people to get back to work they were striking,
told him to get back to work, and they did,
all accept for the flight attendants. Flight attends are are
refusing to go back to work. They're on strike. They're
not gonna go back to work. They're defying. They're defying
the current deity of Canada. It's gonna be interesting to

(40:28):
see what they do. Are they gonna, you know, freeze
their bank accounts? Are they gonna go after him like
they did the truck drivers? Remember that, the whole truck
driver thing, you know. And that's another thing. I don't
know a whole lot about this new guy in Canada.
I know the Prime Minister in Canada, the new King
of Canada. Don't know a lot about him. I'm assuming

(40:50):
he's as much of a socialist communists as what's his nuts,
but I'm not sure. I don't know anything about him.
So anyways, the refusal by the non year by the
Union to obey the order left many travelers at Toronto
Pierce International Airport confused and frustrated on Sunday afternoon, because
you know, strikes supposed to be over. Many of them

(41:10):
were camped out in airport loungers, uncertain whether when and
if the flights resume or whether Air Canada would make
tentative arrangements. So it's Air Canada. My mistake. That was
number three. And I'm not gonna go down all of
these because some of them I really don't care about.
Remember now, these are all these are all the top stories,

(41:32):
the top stories, the stories that if Donald Trump were
to be whisk away off the planet, these are what
you would hear on the news. This is it. It's a
yawn fest, folks. A Yeah, peacekeepers found weapons A weapons
trolled in southern Lebanon as drought threatens millions. So United Nations,

(41:55):
you know that glorified debate society. Peacekeepers are in southern Lebanon.
What are they doing there? Well, they're they're checking on
the Jews. They're want to make sure the Jews are
doing the right thing. They're they're pointing fingers at them,
and and and you know, making sure the Jews don't
do anything bad because you know, Jews. United Nations. Yeah,

(42:21):
I'm saying that sarcastically. I can't stand the United Nations.
But anyways, so while the UN peacekeepers are there, you know,
making sure that you know, Israel behaves themselves, they stumble
across this cash of weapons. We're talking anti take guns, missiles,
all kinds of stuff. It just happened to be there,

(42:42):
you know, just it was just there, no worries, no worries.
It wasn't like Hesbala put it there or something like that,
or something you know, terrorist organization put up there so
they can eventually use it to attack Israel. Right, it
wouldn't happen except that that's exactly what it was there for. Then,

(43:05):
of course, you know, they don't want to get too
much into the reason, you know why a bunch of
a big cache of weapons was there in Lebanon who
belongs to They don't want to get too far into that.
So right in the middle, this is right off a
United Nations own site, right in the middle of it,
they just think, boom, let's just switch gears and go
to there's no water in southern Lebanon anymore, people are
gonna die. It's climate change. Donate, donate, don'ate. Don't give

(43:29):
us all your money because they really don't want you
to sit there and ask the questions. You know, if
if Lebanon's the innocent party, why was there a big
cash of weapons there? That was number four. I go
on and on and on there there's I guess plastic
pollution talks adjourned without consensus. That was the United Nations
one something. Apparently in Geneva they're having these plastic pollution talks.

(43:55):
You know, they're good. They're going to punish the hoy
ploy the commoners, make us stop using plastics because I
guess they say that, you know, all the guys now
have plastic in their balls and stuff. I don't know.
So they're gonna make us not use plastic. They're not
going to quit using it, but they're gonna make us
quit using it. That was according to BBC News. Let's

(44:15):
see that's five six. Oh, here's a really important East
Bengal wins Kolkata derby. I have no idea what that's
even referring to the twenty twenty five Duran cups Kolkatta Derby.
I think they're talking about soccer. Yeah, they must be.
I can already feel the on. What's the other one though?

(44:36):
This is seven Kashmir student dies in Iran repatriation please,
So apparently a Kashmir student died in Iran. Iran doesn't
want to give up the body. The Kashmir wants them.
They're pleading and begging. That was according to the BBC.
Are you guys getting in here? The media has they

(44:56):
need They need a Donald Trump. If Donald tr Trump
disappears tomorrow, all these media outlets are going to go bankrupt.
They love to hate him. They're in love with hating him.
He goes away, they got nothing. It's gonna be funny

(45:19):
when when he disappears from public view. It's gonna be hysterical.
They're gonna have to find a whole new criminal to,
you know, go after. I'm not gonna bore you with
nine to ten, but eight is pretty interesting. It's something
that that Orty and Jeff probably have more expertise and

(45:40):
knowledge than I do, because as try as I may,
I don't understand crypto. I just don't I know if
if Michelle, if Galtz girl heard me say that, she
would be on the phone with me blowing it up,
going okay, I'm gonna teach you a is he? I
don't know. It sounds sketch to me. It really does
sound sketchy. I plug in my computer and let it

(46:04):
just do mind cryptocurrency and what do I spend it on?
Can I run down of the store. Can I run
down and buy a candy bar with it or something?
What does it do? I mean, it's kind of cool
that it's unregulated, that it's out there and the banks
are even giving up on it. But this is interesting.
Crypto search trends surge, so people are people are are investigating,

(46:30):
They're they're putting their searching for crypto information on the Googles, says.
Google searches for crypto hit a yearly peak, reflecting growing
interest in bitcoin coins and xrps use for international payments.
And because I did you know, as reuters, because I

(46:51):
really didn't want to get bored with it, I just
asked artificial intelligence. I asked Google's AI what it was
all about. Says A significant surge in retail interest has
been noted in the crypto market. With Google searches for crypto,
they have in quotes reaching a yearly peak. This heightened
curiosity extends beyond Bitcoin to include all coins and XRP.

(47:12):
Now here's the key takeaways to this. According to the
Great Google Google Moogli Machine, all coin searches at multi
year highs. Google searches for all coin have surged to
their highest level since twenty twenty one. I'm assuming guys
in chat correct me if I'm wrong. All coin is
like anything other than Bitcoin, something you know, other than
the usual popular stuff. I found out there was a

(47:35):
cryptocurrency called Pi Pie. I thought it was like Raspberry pie.
You can plug your Raspberry pies in and make money.
I was all set. I've got like six of them
hanging around here. I was gonna hold me and I'm
gonna be a Bitcoin minor. But it wasn't it. It
was something it means for pioneer. According to coin Telegraph,
over thirty one all coin ETF application has been submitted

(47:57):
to US regulatory regulators in the first half of twenty twenty.
Retail curiosity and institutional adoption. This trend reflects both. This
trend reflects both increased retail curiosity and institutional adoption of
all coins, signaling a maturing market for diversified crypto exposure,
says an investor. Xrp's role in international payments, xrps adoption

(48:19):
for international payments is also gaining momentum with its speed. Okay,
if you can use internation bitcoin for international payments, Okay,
I'm in. I'm good. I might have to start minding it.
You got these Chinese radios have to come from somewhere, right,
get your boof wings, your bowlfings. You know you can
use bitcoin. I'm good with that. Oh, I was right,

(48:41):
just says I'm right. All coin is anything that's not bitcoin.
Dang I win. Anyways, So you can use XRP for
international payment, with its speed, low transaction fees, and efficiency
making it attractive to industries like financial remittance and e commerce.
Blockchain mag reports that XRP adoption is accelerating, with new

(49:04):
partnerships emerging in Africa and Latin America and daily trading
volumes for passing ten billion dollars. Eow nice nice. So.
Google trends data highlights periods of intensified retail curiosity, but
does not predict market directions or provide exact search counts.

(49:24):
In other words, you know, they could be googling this
or something else. They could be looking this information up
for something else, and I did find You know, I've
been curious about this. And I'll have to talk to
already about this. Brave search engine. Brave search Engine allows
you to bitcoin. Mind already says he's leaning into XRP
right now. You might have to look into it. You

(49:46):
never know. That's part about it. It's non government regulated.
That makes me laugh. It's not regulated in any way,
is it. You know, so if the government has there's
mudgy little fingers, pudgy little clamps away from it. Eh.
I might have to learn it. I've learned other things.

(50:07):
I've learned how to use AI, Folks. You should be proud.
I'm gonna be sixty years old in a few weeks. Okay,
I'm zeroing in on it. I'm there, and I use
AI at work all the time. As far as work goes.
One of the best inventions ever. You get some mundane
task chucked at you, just going to I said, hey,
I need blah blah blah blah blah, and it poops

(50:28):
out what you need and you just refine it a
little bit and send it out and everybody goes, oh,
you used artificial intelligence create this. You're smart, You're keeping
up at the times. You're intelligent. Now I'm lazy. I'm
almost at the end of my working career. I know
a times suck given to me when I see it,

(50:50):
So I just let a I do it. And I've
gotten to the point where I can really dig down
deep into that and say, now do this, now do this. Now,
I'll take this away. I did when I did this
whole this last part of this show. First thing I
did was the top ten stories that have nothing to
do with Donald Trump. But they just threw some stories.
I said, okay, now make them the most neutral, politically

(51:11):
neutral sources. And it came out ten different ones. The
ten the ten ones that came up with first. We're
just like, no, that's all politics. So what do we
get when when we go completely neutral and look up
ten stories? We get whale vomit? We get air Canada strikes,
we get weapons uncovered in Lebanon that aren't supposed to

(51:33):
be there, plastic pollution talks, what a yawn fest? We get?
Soccer didn't even mention anything about you know, American football
getting kicking up this week. This, kids, is why I
don't listen to a lot of shortwave radios across the sea,

(51:54):
because this is the stories they have. It's like who cares? Okay,
already says it's still governed by the SEC. But then
in the government both dropping the laws. Who is opening
up to a potential gain? And I read that already.
I read that article about them backing away from some
of the regulations. It's been a pariah for several years. Okay,

(52:17):
that's interesting. I might have to look into that. And
it did come across that article see here. I am
all trendy and stuff, keeping up with the times. Not
that I care about all those articles. Like I said,
every one of those that would be your news. If
you turned down the six o'clock news and it was
completely political neutral, those would be your top stories for

(52:40):
the night. This folks, as much as they don't want
to admit it, as much as they hate too much,
as much as they seethe and they spit and they
bite themselves and draw their own blood thinking about it,
The mainstream media needs Donald Trump. Without him, they're lame.

(53:03):
They have nothing. They would actually have to work to
come up with stories. They would actually have to get
out there. They would they would have to actually go
interview people. They would have to mix with the unwashed masses.
The horror, the horror. Yeah, I already says it's not

(53:30):
gonna get rich fast. But I support what they're trying
to do, is yes, so do I so do I.
It's kind of an interesting thing. I'm gonna. I'm gonna,
I'm gonna dig into that a little bit deeper. I
might I might be rethinking the whole bitcoin thing. I
might be doing something with that. You know. I got
to keep that steady stream of handheld radios going. And
if I can pay international you know stuff, getting my

(53:53):
cheap Chinese handheld radios in here for my hamm radio stuff,
why not. And I've got an addiction, guys. I'm looking
at I'm looking over here on top of my desk,
and I've got like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight nine, I got one more, ten out on the porch,

(54:13):
eleven upstairs, and twelve out of my truck. I got
twelve handheld radios, now twelve. I might get rid of
some of them, I really might, but I don't know
which ones to get rid of. They all have their purpose.
The only one that I don't really use anymore is
that that radioity GD What is that seventy seven? That's

(54:36):
they're old. They're old DMR radio digital radio. It just
doesn't work, Jeff says. Next week on Sunday Night with
a own ray, we hold an intervention. Hey, you know,
I'm mild some of these hand radio operators. They've got
like thirty forty different handhelds. Man, not even kidding you.

(54:59):
It's a sickness. It's a sickness because they're inexpensive and
they're so much fun. And I think it stems from
being a kid and having walkie talkies. I'm pretty sure
that's what it stems from. Man, we're already back up
the top of the hour, five more minutes, and Man,
I was wondering, are we gonna have enough to talk about? Folks.

(55:21):
It is the beginning, It is the very beginning of
hurricane season. I got a feeling we're gonna have a
heck of a winner, at least up here in the North.
I usually if you've get a lot of rain, a
lot of storms, a lot of freaky weather activity in
the summer, you're going to have to have a lot
of things to think about in the winter because usually

(55:44):
big storms and stuff like that, you know, Jeff, I
mean you can get them GMR. You can get a
license for GMR radio and you can have it with
your son. You can hide it in his backpack and
only bring it out on the way home and talk
to you emergency comms. Baby doesn't take a test. You

(56:05):
just got to pay for the GMRS license. Those aren't bad.
It's just like Ham radio. It's just above the Ham
radio frequencies in seventy centimeter. It's a good way to
start it out. Next thing, you know, you'll have one
hundred and fifty of those. So yeah, prep, get ready.
It's gonna be uh. A winner is gonna be upon
us before we know it. And one thing I have

(56:28):
been doing, which I thought, you know, rehabbing the shoulder
and everything that I've been doing, I also started hiking
with weighted bests up to three miles. With uh, I've
got a twenty pounder. Now I've got three miles. I
can go on that thing like nothing's happening. The reason
being is having that nice, big heavy bag full of
stuff in my truck. If I actually have to walk

(56:50):
with it. I want to be able to go three
four five miles and not collapse in a heap, breathing
and puking and you know, gasping for air. I figured,
you know what, maybe I should strap some weight on
my button, go hiking around and it's a different lifestyle.
I'm gonna get up to thirty pounds. I've got a
thirty pound vest. Haven't been able to do it since
the shoulders screwed up on me. But I'm almost there.

(57:13):
I'm gonna get there. I am Alan Ray. It's Sunday
Night with Alan Ray. Thank each and every one of
you for tuning in. Look like what, we got one
hundred and eighty nine views. That's cool. That's cool. I
don't even think. I don't know if this thing goes
out on YouTube or anything like that. But if you're
listening on that, hey, pop in, say hi. I could
see it in the other room. Here. We thank each
and every one of you for making Sunday Nights on

(57:35):

reason log me into Kylarn's YouTube. Oh well, I'm an X.

(57:58):
