(00:00):
A billionaire that plans to a subvoyage to the Titanic type. I mean
they're talking about I know it's thisguy, this real estate tycoon out of
I think Dayton is where he lives. Is that Larry Connor that I didn't
actually pick up on where he lived. I just know he's in Ohio.
But yeah, what could possibly gowrong taking your little sub to the Titanic.
(00:25):
Let's ask what happened. Let's askthe people that, oh wait,
they got imploded in the bottom ofthe ocean. Right. This guy is
saying he wants to prove this stripcan be made safely, and he's insisting
that his sub is of much higherquality than the Ocean Gate Titan what you
called a contraption. I know clearlyhe believes that he's betting his life on
(00:46):
it. I mean, when you'rethat rich, you have that much money,
you you stand to lose a lotin a situation that's already occurred.
Make does this make sense to you? Because I understanding that he's a billionaire
and his sub unit that he hadbuilt cost twenty million dollars, I thought,
I don't know, I feel likeI would have expected it to be
(01:08):
more so like, I hope hedidn't cut any corners. Yeah, oh,
I would think he learned his lessonhere. If this guy cut a
corner or two, you get whatyou deserve, right, And that's as
a matter of fact, even ifyou don't cut any corners, you go
and do something like that. Andwe can continue this here in a second.
But when you're doing something along thoselines, and that happens like the
implosion that we saw. And bythe way, can you believe it's coming
(01:30):
up? June eighteenth is going tobe a year year were vaporized. I
know. Meteorologist Sarah Converse is joiningus. Now, Hey, Sarah,
how are you. I'm doing good? How about you? Yeah? Yeah,
everything's great, Everything is fantastic.So yeah, the the water log
(01:51):
thing that I feel like is continuingto happen. It's a little dicey right
about now, but it looks likewe're headed for some at least a little
more steady, a little more so, a little more seasonable coming up.
Yes, so we are going tobe dealing with hit or miss showers and
even some stunt thunderstorms for this afternoonand evening. We are going to see
temperatures dip down into the mid fifties, so a little bit cooler out there.
(02:13):
Still hanging on to the rain gearfor tomorrow, as we'll still do
with scattered rain showers and some thunderstorms, but temperatures are going to be below
average. We're going to be inthe upper sixties on Wednesday, and if
you're tired of the hitter miss showersand storms, the end of the week
is looking at fantastic sunny skies.Temperatures will be low to mid seventies,
and for the start of Saturday it'slooking really great too. Temperatures will be
(02:37):
warmer in the low eighties, butmore rain showers and thunderstorms will be possible
by the second half of Saturday.It's going to stay unsettled for the next
few days after the weekend. Allright, Sarah, thank you very much.
Seventy right now, thanks for listeningThe Mark Blazer Show with Josh Ces.
You know we're talking about that billionaireplanning to after this oce and Gait
(03:00):
disaster. He's going to take aswing at it. This guy, I
guess he lives near Dayton and he'sa billionaire, Larry Connor, and he's
he's planning to make the trip withthe subs designer, Patrick Lay. I
think low he is how you sayit, Lay, But the subs designer
clearly is staking his life on it. I'll tell you, if you got
(03:20):
somebody building it who's in charge ofevery step of the way, you want
him inside of it with you,right. I mean, you're gonna have
as good a chance as possible whenthe guy who's in charge of putting this
together is inside with you. Iwould imagine, well, yeah, you
won't. You won't make any mechanicalerrors, but not all that goes out
(03:42):
the window. I mean, it'sjust a matter of if there's any weakness
on this thing, they they'll bethey'll be on the bottom of the ocean
too. You know. Also,I thought that when when you see something
like this and these people perish doingthis kind of stuff, there's no question,
no two ways, how sad itis. And immediately my mind when
(04:03):
for whatever reason we were just talkingabout this guy and you're going, geez,
you know, I think this guyshould have learned his lesson when you
think about some of the stuff that'shappened that's been shocking, like Steve Irwin
the crocodile hunter, Right, theguy that died a stingray. I think
he took a barb, the Stingraybarb, which everybody predicted it was going
to be a crock that takes himout, but it didn't have it that
(04:24):
way. Some people would argue,well did he need you know he did
he died, there is that,yeah, but that was part of his
life and how he made a living. Right this sub this guy, this
Larry Khn, this is like aside thing, almost like hey, let
me show off a little bit orsomething. And I feel like God forbid
the ultimate or the unthinkable happens.It's just so it's extra sad when it
(04:48):
really wasn't necessary. It was needless. If you will, I know it
was. It was completely unnecessary.But listen, I guess. I guess
when you get to a point whereyou have so much money and you've achieved
things that and experienced things that ninetynine point percent of humanity will never ever
(05:14):
experience, you run out of thingsto stimulate you, interest you. And
so if this guy, if thisis like his dream, then I think
it's like in his mind he's like, look, I've done everything I want
in life. Now I want togo to the Titanic and if I'll die,
(05:35):
try it. Okay, Well,as long as you know the consequences,
I guess I'll say is good luckto you, manly, good luck
to this guy. Yep, eyeswide open in that situation for him,
you know, that's that's what he'sdoing. I thought this was so interesting.
This this one of the articles yousent me about this poison hemlock.
(05:57):
And it's a this flowering plant partof the carrot family and can be fatal
if ingested by humans or animals.And the thing is, we had the
chief botanist with the Ohio Department ofNatural Resources, Richard Gardner. He goes,
you know how it's a non nativeplant and it's you know, relatively
rare until about thirty years ago.It's one is more common. It's spreading
(06:19):
throughout the whole state. And it'sit has like fern like leaves and white
flowers and they usually begin to bloomhere in the next couple of weeks June
through August. This thing can getlike ten feet tall. It commonly mostly
around the six to eight feet,but can get to to and typically this
(06:40):
thing, you know, long fencelines, irrigation ditches, so on.
I just feel like when they startdescribed when this chief botanist starts describing it,
it sounds like bionic because it's likepoison hemlock. It likes full sun,
but it can grow in shade.It can't handle extremely dry, well
drained soil. But the thing thatgot me is like, oh, full
(07:01):
sun, but it likes full son, but then it can be in shade
as well. It's like, it'sscary when you start thinking about do you
know anybody who's come across because I'venever even heard of this before. Oh
I've seen it. I've seen you. Oh you've actually wait okay, yeah,
yeah. They do a good jobthough. As soon as it's spotted
(07:21):
by at a state park, theygo in there and names. I mean,
they get it out there quickly.Make your head spin. Right,
But I've seen it before. Itused to grow. Actually even it wasn't
common until they said until about thirtyyears ago. And that would be about
right, because I remember it.I remember it in the pasture along the
(07:44):
fence line where the cows were atmy grandma's farm in Pickwell. Yeah.
Yeah, the cows you said wouldeat it. No, the cows instinctually
knew. I don't know how theI guess evolution, adaptation or whatever,
they knew not to touch that,like it just like, it's amazing what
animals know that we don't give themcredit for. Yeah, that's that's amazing
(08:07):
to me that they just know it'slike it's bread instinctually because they die,
what die off? If they atethat? I mean, it would be
awful right right, especially when youstart looking at like it's it. You
know, it talks about what couldhappen with you know, humans, and
the way it affects animals is alittle bit different. They animals die like
(08:30):
the respiratory paralysis within two to threehours according to the USDA, so if
they ingest it, but then whenyou start chopping it, the SAP can
start flying around. You really gotto watch what you're doing. If you
come across this stuff and you don'treally know what's going on, think about
it. I I don't know.I uh, I feel like there there
(08:52):
probably are more situations where this couldbe around or growing or something. I
feel I don't know, man,it's like kind of freaking me out quite
frankly, but I guess it's likeit is. I mean, it's like
a monster plant that you know,keeps coming, and you know I you
know, you and I are notyou know, we're done. We're not
(09:13):
gonna wear masks over again. ButI'll tell you what this is. You
want to advocate for masks wearing,I would probably be wearing an N ninety
five respirator cutting that stuff down becauseI don't want I'm not taking any chances
on that that nonsense. Yeah,the SAP can get airborne and it can
go of course through your nose andmouth. So if you don't have all
of that, like the covered breathingyou, you could be in big trouble
(09:37):
with this thing. Yeah. Yeah, it's like sweating and vomiting and dilated
pupils. And I would think ifyou were around it, you would probably
start experiencing some of those things.And it depends on how much you ingest.
At that point too al severe everythingwill get. But this is a
real thing, and it's it's crazy. I do like that they put something
(09:58):
out about it now, so atleast people can kind of think about it,
or you know, they you know, maybe research. I don't even
I'm not sure exactly where it saysit's been. It's mainly the western part
of the state, but it saidit's spreading as far as Ohio go.
Yeah, well western part of thestate, that's where, that's where,
that's that's where I'm from. Soyeah, it makes sense. I saw
(10:20):
it as a kid. Yeah,yep, there
