Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell You What. Can
Somebody give me one good reason why we're still changing
our clocks.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I am so glad we're talking about this every time
we have to change the clocks. I am so ready
to rage because it's so silly.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It's so dumb we do it.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Though I asked, yes the daylight excuse me, I asked
for one good reason why we do it. You're not
answering the question. I'm like it for one good reason,
and you can. Speaking of talkback, maybe this is your
first time ever using it, now's the time if you
know the answer talk back on the iHeartRadio app. Give
me one good reason why we're turning our clocks back
and forward.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I don't have a good reason. I think it's so
stupid that we still change the clocks. It's very dumb.
I don't support it at all, and I'm very happy
when I hear politicians talking about eliminating all of that.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I'm not because they've been talking about it for years
and nothing has been done.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
At least there's people who want to do something about it, like.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Why, but then you have so many people why why
was someone vote against that?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Why? How do you what how how do you have
a heart stand?
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Must love it getting dark at five?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I don't like single issue voters, but I earlier than.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
That, my guy, I will say, part of that is
because we're in a northern state.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
If you go south, you have more daylight. It's just
a fact.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
But well, well not in the summer, not in the
summer so much. Yeah, you have more light in the
in the summer upright, right, but we but we're also
freezing up here in the way. It's already gets you know,
semi intolerable. You can't live outside without your clothes a
certain time of year. Here in Florida, you can pretty
much do that all year. It might get a little
(01:37):
nippy here and there, but you know, you're you're gonna
survive up here. Ain't happening in January or December. Unless
you really get lucky, it's not going to happen. So
at least throw us a bone. Let's have a little
more daylight, you know. But they say, well you do
then in the morning it gets brighter earlier, and I'll
screw the morning. In the afternoon, people getting off of
work in the commute, yeah, have a little time when
(01:57):
you get home.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, whoever supports this clearly doesn't live in a northern state,
and they don't care about seasonal depression.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Which is already dark enough. It just makes it darker.
That is the absolute truth. People do get that. I've
known people that have that. I've probably had it. I
just never really realized that's what it was. Yes, you know,
but I know people that had it, specifically that moved
up here from other states, and well Maverick even talked
about it on the air. It goes, Man, it gets
(02:26):
even darker here than it did in Ohio in the
winter time.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, it's crazy. If you go down to Iowa, you
get a lot more daylight. It's very strange, very very weird.
And I don't like single issue voters. But if there's
someone who could guarantee that if I voted for them,
they met the party, they might be able to convince
me because I hate it.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Talk back on the iHeartRadio app. Get familiar with that.
You're going to need it from Morgan Wall and tickets
this week anyway.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
One good reason.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
The government's all a bunch of idiots. It can't figure
out and agree on anything, even as simple as leaving
the clock set at one time.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Okay, Now I respect that, it's still not really a reason.
Anybody getting a reason.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
There's no good reason to change the time.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Well, there has a reason. There has to be a reason, right,
I mean there has to somebody. Can you make one
up and get a hold of us on on talk
bank or something. There has to be there's I mean,
there's gotta be why they do this years ago. Has
something to do with the farmers or something, isn't it?
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Good morning?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
K one oh two?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I hate daylight savings. I work in a big office building.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
The first two hours of the day, I was just
going around checking clocks, making sure they're all correct.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
That says it all right there, yep, nobody gave me
one good reason.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Is there is no good reason.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
And when you have kids, you don't it doesn't matter.
They're gonna still wake up at the same time, even earlier.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
So dumb they're still filing in.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
There is no God given perfect reason or explanation for
changing our clocks back. It's absolutely insane, batty and should
be stopped immediately my country.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Ye okay, so how many talkbacks have we played? Three
or four or five? No good reason, there is no
But I'm asking for somebody. You got to come up
with something.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Do you guys do the same thing that I do?
And I'm like, oh, it's five nineteen, but it would
be six nineteen right now.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh yeah, chang yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
And at home it is.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
It is at home at six nineteen everywhere, because you've
got the clocks, and then you've got the smart clocks, yes,
and then you get the dumb clocks your oven and
your microwave and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
We all just have to rise up against Benjamin Franklin
because he's the one that originally proposed the idea.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Damn it, ben.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Ben Franklin did.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah, Franklin dead stupid, put them one hundred?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
How long you go? Was that times are a change?
In Ben?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
In seventeen eighty four he said that people could save
candles by waking up earlier to use natural sunlight.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
No, Ben, two years, y'all was a long time.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
He needs to be put on a penny, not one hundred.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yo.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
I saw one who gets up at three am. That
sun setting an hour earlier is great because you know,
in the summer months it's terrible, and that thing don't
set till eight thirty. Oh, bro, it's so hard to sleep,
and you can get some room darkening curtains, but man,
you know that sun is still up. You want to
(05:39):
be out there partying and living it up, having some
bruskies with the boys.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
My guy, we can do that no matter what time
it is.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
In Alaska, they have daylight all the time sometimes and
they can get along just fine. And apparently there's some
like some scientists or something named George Hudson and eighteen
ninety five wanted more daylight hours after work to collect insects.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So okay, well it's all for you, buddy.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yep. Ye, I don't do that.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I mean, that's not my thing. But farmers have lights
on their tractors for a reason, Chris.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
They don't need daylight saving time to farm anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
We're not pulling plows with oxen anymore. Okay. He sounded
kind of confrontational, but I think he's kind of agreeing
with me, isn't he?
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Yes? Yep.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Wait, well, because you mentioned that it had something to
do with farmers, and that's often an argument that people
bring up, like it has something to do with harvest
and farming and blah blah blah. Like no, it's it's sorry.
It's twenty twenty five, almost twenty twenty six. We have
great technology and they're out there farming anyway. Go out
into any farming community and at night, when suns down,
(06:44):
they're still up.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
They got their lights on.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
They're up there at midnight they have lights now. Yes,
whatever time that they have to be out there, it
doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
My gosh, Chris Wine wine wine bitch, bitch, bitch. The
only reason why there's daylight saving time is to listen
to people like you whining and crying about it. Just
there you got Charis love you.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, that's my guy. You know who that is.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's so I'm trying to find some of the quote
unquote modern reasons why it sticks around. And they say
that even though energy savings today are minimal, daylight saving
time stuck around because it was seen as beneficial for
evening daylight, which means more time for shopping, recreation, and events. Hello,
we have light bulbs. Economic activity that's so vague. Fewer
(07:34):
evening car accidents due to better visibility. What No, we're
all we're all at least up here in Minnesota. We're
all still driving home in the dark.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
We've been at it for how many minutes. I haven't
heard one good reason because there are none. There are none.
Thank you, Thank you everyone for your participation, because everything
that you just said justified everything that we just said,
what everybody feels. There's no good reason to keep doing this.
Thank you and thank you for listening to this upside. I
tell you what you'll find more of the iHeartRadio, we
