We have all the tools, including our minds, to 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,640 get to work. Talk about things that matter to you, the events, 5 00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:21,679 the issues, the people, like the Senate passing this foreign aid bill. 6 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,120 We talked yesterday about the House passing it. So now the Senate has passed 7 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:31,280 it and Biden's going to sign it, So then what's next. This is 8 00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:34,840 help for Ukraine. A lot of people don't want us to do that anymore. 9 00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:38,479 Help for Israel, A lot of people don't want us to do that 10 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,759 anymore. At Taiwan, I don't know that there's anybody. I haven't heard 11 00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:45,759 anybody say no, we shouldn't help. Try one. I think that's where 12 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,439 the most support is. But what does it tell you that the thing passed 13 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:56,520 in the Senate seventy nine to eighteen, and wasn't the TikTok situation in this 14 00:00:56,679 --> 00:01:02,159 same bill? Yes, yeah, it was by TikTok. See ya audios 15 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,680 mucha Jo's you've had it, sell it or get out one or the other. 16 00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:11,519 It's okay with me. So the urgency depending on who you listen to. 17 00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:17,239 It's kind of like the other stuff, you know, the protests and 18 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,799 things that are going on. It's who you listen to. It causes you 19 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,040 to act, right. I mean, I think that's true. It's not 20 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,640 true just in politics. It's not true just in international relations. It's true 21 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,359 everywhere. For example, your father has a great influence on me, my 22 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:40,719 thinking and how I do my radio work because he's the radio guru, and 23 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,280 he's inspired me in lots of other people of the years to do their best 24 00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:48,640 and providing them with coaching that is the best. And that's one of the 25 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,400 other things. Do you have a coach? I ask that unilaterally. If 26 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,560 everybody who's listening, who's the person who helps you in your life the most, 27 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,519 it may be you. And that's okay. As a matter of fact, 28 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,480 that's good if you're not necessarily dependent. I'm not dependent on him, 29 00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:12,120 but I am connected because being connected makes sense. I've never thought in the 30 00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:15,960 years that I've been on the radio, which now I'm pretty close to seventy 31 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,400 years sixty, let's do the seventy please, sixty years on the air from 32 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,439 when I was a teenager, and I've had lots of great experiences, different 33 00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:32,479 experiences, like hopefully a lot of you have in your chosen field. What 34 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:40,120 have you done in terms of staying with the requirements of your job? You 35 00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:43,759 school yourself and people say, well, I drive a truck. What do 36 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,879 I have to school myself on? Well, you score yourself on the latest 37 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:53,159 techniques. I've taken care of your vehicle of what's going on on the highways, 38 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:55,960 because there are always different things going on in the highways. Even knowing 39 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,759 where the work is. You can't go anywhere country now, whether it's a 40 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,520 local job, whether it's a statewide job, or whether it's a national job. 41 00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:12,960 There are delays everywhere. There's roadwork everywhere. There's construction everywhere. Wow, 42 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,719 and guess who's paying for most of it? Aha, you and me, 43 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,759 we're doing it. Don't you feel good about that? So yeah, 44 00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:27,680 listen as you're driving around. Here's something else to think about. The auto 45 00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:36,120 insurance rates have gone up month by month twenty two percent more it costs you 46 00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:42,599 to ensure your car, your whatever, mostly cars. Insurance has been affected 47 00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,800 by you know, lots of different things in lot, whether it's a house 48 00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:50,319 or whatever it is. But auto insurance rates up almost three percent last month 49 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,960 alone, twenty two percent from a year ago. Premiums going up very regularly 50 00:03:57,039 --> 00:04:00,879 because of inflation. So you know, they say that inflation is cool down, 51 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,879 but the prices are not to a point. Some of these companies, 52 00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:11,400 like most of the other things that have like the cost of an airplane ride. 53 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,840 I'll give you an example, going back and forth to Los Angeles as 54 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,000 I do in the winter time. I'm pretty much done with that now because 55 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,639 we have to get to work on the farm. But the back and forth 56 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,680 is at least twice as expensive as it was a year ago. And what 57 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,360 do they blame that on the cost of fuel? Right? Cost of insurance? 58 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,639 How much at cost? To think about this, Think about how much 59 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:38,720 you pay, whether it's progressive or whoever it is a local carrier, how 60 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,439 much you pay for insuring your car. And then if you have a boat, 61 00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:46,639 how much it costs you to ensure the boat. Then think about it, 62 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,600 not even just different tiers, but different uses. Like they ask you, 63 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,079 is this your regular car, your vehicle that attract to work every day? 64 00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:56,639 Is this only a week in car? Is this something that miles you 65 00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:00,439 drive? It just sits in your yard because you're waiting to get to fix 66 00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:01,920 Well, guess what, something could happen and tree could still fall on it, 67 00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:08,319 so you still have to ensure. Yeah, if you saw that movie 68 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,079 No Hard Feelings, you see how it is an old buwer gets destroyed during 69 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,360 the course of the movie. It's kind of interesting. It's fun to watch 70 00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:26,040 actually uploom. Anyway, the whole idea of insurance, I was suggesting that 71 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,199 you think about what it costs you to ensure your car or things that you 72 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,399 have, and then think about how much the insurance is on that boat that 73 00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:39,600 crashed into the bridge in Baltimore. How much the insurance was on that a 74 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,199 year. Take a guess, m two point five million, two point six 75 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,720 you're pretty close for you, all right? How much do they get cost 76 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:56,279 to insure the average airliner American, Delta, United, most of those companies 77 00:05:56,319 --> 00:06:03,560 are they are self insured to a point think seven million a plane, about 78 00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:09,279 a plane plane a year? Yeah, not quite for one plane. For 79 00:06:09,399 --> 00:06:14,079 one plane a year. The average plane that carries a couple of hundred passengers, 80 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,279 like a seven to fifty seven. I take a guess what it costs. 81 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,480 Is it one point eight? No, it's not that well. I 82 00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:25,920 was going to say, it's not that bad. Think about what you pay 83 00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:30,040 for your car. For example, I'm thinking about my cars, my trucks. 84 00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:36,040 My cars are about one thousand bucks a year for insurance. And so 85 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:42,839 if you take the value of the car, whatever your cars were, but 86 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,759 what they charge you for is not only what your record, your driving record 87 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,800 is, but you know how much does it cost to buy a new car 88 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,680 or to replace a car. And that conversation with my daughter since the wreck 89 00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:00,839 that she was involved in a couple of weeks ago, so their insurance in 90 00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:05,800 California was about twice what mine is here in Massachusetts. And so you look 91 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,319 at all those things. Just take the value. Let's say your car is 92 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,959 worth fifty thousand dollars and you pay one thousand dollars a year. So the 93 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:21,120 average seven thirty seven these days costs about two hundred and ten million dollars, 94 00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:28,560 and to ensure it every year about four hundred and seventy thousand dollars for each 95 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,160 plane. And then there's the umbrella on the over so you know they're looking 96 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,800 at the cost of the new cars for having sake, average up to forty 97 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:46,480 seven thousand dollars. That's pretty stiff. The first ever YouTube video that was 98 00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:53,600 put out nineteen years ago was a trip to the Zoo? Why not right? 99 00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:58,839 Listen? It was fun, it was grainy, it looked like somebody 100 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:03,759 had used a film nineteen twenty nine. But what it lacks in quality it 101 00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:07,600 makes up for in charm or as we say here in New England, in 102 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:15,680 cham there's on YouTube wind. So YouTube. I was thinking YouTube been along, 103 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,279 been around longer than nineteen years though apparently it hasn't. Is that do 104 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,839 I What am I getting? Or no, it hasn't. And here's something 105 00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:26,000 for your typical do you know or did you know? Do you care? 106 00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:31,039 Fat files? Yeah? Do you remember Janet Jackson's napplegate from the Super Bowl 107 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:37,039 halftime show? Okay? So just yeah. That essentially is what led to 108 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,159 the creation of YouTube. The creators wanted to find a video. They were 109 00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:46,000 looking for a video of the performance online and they were like, how is 110 00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:50,480 this not online anywhere? Why are there Why is there no like search engine 111 00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:52,960 that just has all of these videos piled together that you can easily find if 112 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,799 you're looking for a video that was aired somewhere here or there. And so 113 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:05,519 they created YouTube because snipplegate. So I didn't know. I'm just I guess 114 00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:11,080 what the biggest part of this is. I'm surprised that it was only nineteen 115 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,919 years ago. It seems like YouTube has been around, like PayPal and some 116 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,480 of these other things that have only been around last twenty thirty years or so, 117 00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:22,480 like they've been around forever, like Uber yeah, uber, yeah exactly. 118 00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:26,279 So anyway, it's it isn't that way, and so YouTube, I 119 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:33,559 guess we're celebrating a little bit because of the acknowledgment of the first or one 120 00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:37,399 of the first YouTube videos was called a trip to the Zoo that they just 121 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,399 wanted to be posted. Yeah, and that's also something I guess you can 122 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,440 see it still on YouTube someplace right now. The most watched videos on YouTube 123 00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:52,000 certainly don't anything to do with a zoo, but they are music videos, 124 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:58,320 right. Taylor Swift and the questions been asked by the way about Taylor's Swift 125 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:05,600 as to whether she's being out promoted, whether there's too much Taylor Swift? 126 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,279 Can there ever be too much Taylor Swift? The question is being asked, 127 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:15,919 I mean, is there too much Michael Jackson, Yes, there was too 128 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,480 much Friends Yeah, never too much of the Beatles. No. I think 129 00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:24,600 it just depends who you ask. A fan is not a fan, and 130 00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:28,559 fans are fans. So yeah, some people will say no, the amount 131 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,879 does not exist in other people will be like, yes, I'm tired of 132 00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:33,679 her face, move on right, let's go all right. I don't know 133 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,440 if that's the case with Gwyneth Paltrow. I think most people kind of figure 134 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,879 that she's a pretty interesting character. I find it'd be very interesting. Actually, 135 00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:45,519 Oh, I feel like she is so polarizing. People you love Gwyneth 136 00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,360 Paltrow or absolutely hate her. I'm with you. I find her adorable. 137 00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:52,159 I like I find her interesting. Yeah. So she has her children trying 138 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,519 to teach her about things on the internet. She's done this thing called Goop, 139 00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:03,279 which is all over or social media. She doesn't apparently engage too much 140 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,240 in what it takes to get the publicity, but she's also talking her children, 141 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,200 talking to her children about understanding memes. Yeah, she said, what 142 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,799 does that mean? And I'd ask you the same thing. I don't really 143 00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:16,960 know what a meme is, what the meaning of a meme is, What 144 00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:20,960 does this mean? What is it? What does a mean? It's like 145 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,879 online jokes and stuff, and sometimes it's a static image, sometimes it's a 146 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,399 video. But she always has to ask her her kids the meaning of specific 147 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,679 memes, like Okay, so what's the joke of this one? Or what 148 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,559 does this one mean? I don't get it. So I'm right there with 149 00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:41,320 you. I look at this stuff. I don't get it either. I 150 00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:46,159 have to have you or James, as somebody explained to me or my children 151 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,240 explained it to me. And what is really going to be dangerous is when 152 00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:54,399 my grandson Miles or Jasper explains it to me. Now that is the time 153 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,600 for curtains on that discussion. So it's great business time for Caldron. I 154 00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:03,960 would think the phones will be ringing off the hook and people be ordering nauseum. 155 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,399 That's right.

When you look at some of the other stuff that's 168 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,480 going on, and Willie's this weekend talking to a couple of friends in Los 169 00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:07,440 Angeles about AI and where it's going and what will happen, and you know, 170 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:13,240 the people that are trying to create a situation where we worry ourselves to 171 00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:18,120 death. But well, I know, I don't even want to repeat the 172 00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:22,879 rumors. You've all heard them probably anyway, So we move ahead. One 173 00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:28,600 of the problems that radio is having in television as well and news is exemplified 174 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:31,399 by National Public Radio. A lot of people are talking about this. A 175 00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:39,120 lot of folks who listen to this program specifically claim that they also listen to 176 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,639 NPR. A lot of NPR co listening to this program. So I'm not 177 00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:48,639 a big fan. Frankly, I listen because I think the stuff there that's 178 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:54,039 valuable. But I also don't like the way they run their network because it 179 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,519 takes too much taxpayer money and they aren't efficient at how they use it. 180 00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:05,519 But anyway, there are more and more programs, more and more local stations, 181 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:11,559 and certainly the national NPR listeners are hearing more sponsors. Sponsors like there 182 00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:20,279 is commercial revenue coming in and so one of the things that they have suffered 183 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,360 from. However, according to a couple of studies, why are people either 184 00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:28,919 giving to NPR or not giving to NPR? And the interesting thing is that 185 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:35,240 the reason people say that they are not giving to NPR is because there's too 186 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:43,679 much push for diversity. It's generated a lot of turmoil among the staff at 187 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,440 NPR stations, and it's generally a lot of management as to how to get 188 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:54,399 more money. And because their stories seem to focus and I understand this. 189 00:14:54,600 --> 00:15:00,039 I think that's part of the Black Lives Matter thing that became difficult. It 190 00:15:00,039 --> 00:15:03,759 has become difficult because there's too much of it and that's the public's reacting. 191 00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:07,120 At first, there was an embracing. I certainly embraced it. I think 192 00:15:07,159 --> 00:15:15,120 it was necessary. It's important to pay attention to a coefficient that gave equal 193 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:20,600 representation in any kind of a job to whatever the minority is, whether it 194 00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:26,559 was black, Hispanic, whatever. But I think that it's gone too far, 195 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,399 and the people at NPR have found that to be the case too, 196 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,600 because people are stopping. They think it's gone too far there. It's generated 197 00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:41,039 a lack of funding, not an end to the funding, but it's changed 198 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,600 the way that they're trying to do fundraising. So does that showcase how much 199 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,679 racism and prejudice still exists that people won't give them money because they're offended because 200 00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:58,799 it's not majority white people anymore. Well, it's how they present stories that 201 00:15:58,919 --> 00:16:03,639 really is the issue and what they cover. Frankly, But in terms of 202 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,039 what you just said and how to generally apply it, Jay, I don't 203 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,919 think I know where my heart is and where my head is. In terms 204 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,399 of support for everybody and anybody, I think everybody needs to be in the 205 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:22,240 same pot and considered equally as to their representation. So like if we have 206 00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:26,960 if the population of this country is twelve or fourteen percent black, which apparently 207 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,879 it is. Then I think that the number of people, if you are 208 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,000 going to be specific about this and give them their due, maybe some people 209 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,039 think, well, because there's so much prejudice and they've had a shirt, 210 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,080 they've gotten a short shrift over the years, maybe we give them more. 211 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:49,159 Okay. So if you agree that it's fourteen percent, and you give twenty 212 00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:56,080 five percent of the work, and any given persuasion or pursuit to give the 213 00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:59,759 jobs to black people twenty five percent as long as they qualified, Okay. 214 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,000 But if you listen to again the story coverage on NPR, or even look 215 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,559 at the television, we all know this. You see the ads. Now 216 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,599 most of the ads that are done for most of the commercial products are being 217 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:18,079 done by black actors, and there's a big to do. Was quiet for 218 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,960 a while, but it's become more noisy where white actors are getting tired, 219 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,960 are being pushed aside because they don't have the right skin color. So that's 220 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,279 what I mean. You know, I've told you the story about my son 221 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,680 who was a scriptwriter for a long time and got out of the business because 222 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,680 when he went to get a job at a writer's room for a TV show. 223 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,920 He was on the list and it looked like he was certainly qualified. 224 00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:48,920 They wouldn't hire him, and the producer told him, you're not black and 225 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,200 you're not gay. We only want black or gay or both. Isn't that 226 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,839 crazy how everybody has to be put into a box. Yeah. Have a 227 00:17:55,839 --> 00:18:00,400 friend who auditioned for one of the well known singing competition shows and by the 228 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,839 time he auditioned, he made it through the first round. He got to 229 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,960 the second round before things were televised, and they told him we already have 230 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:12,319 one of you, a perfect even though like he's an amazing singer, but 231 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,240 they were like, we already have one of you, and so you're out. 232 00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:22,400 Man. Can you imagine? Ugh, I bunga all right? Couple 233 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,759 of quick hits here if you will. The second patient to receive a kidney 234 00:18:29,319 --> 00:18:37,119 from a gene edited pig has received the said kidney at New York University's Langone 235 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:47,319 Health Center. Surgeons performed the transplant after implanting a mechanical heart pump in her 236 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,200 chest to make sure everything was working as they put in because they had to 237 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,759 stop her heart. Apparently that's part of the operation. I didn't get that 238 00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:56,440 from the first time we talked about that. Was it a month or two 239 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:03,240 ago when the first pig kidney went into a human being was apparently that person 240 00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:07,359 the recipient is still very healthy, but they got to stop your heart, 241 00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:11,160 it would appear in order to stick. Well, yeah, I think I 242 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,400 think the other person only needed the kidney where she needed a heart pump as 243 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,079 well, So for the heart pump part, they had to stop the heart. 244 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,960 Yeah, all right, I need to get to the bottom or I 245 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,880 need to help you get to the bottom of We talked about this in the 246 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:33,000 food fam and farm thing earlier about the cows and whether or not the bird 247 00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:37,599 flu is going to ruin the milk, and if you're drinking milk, we're 248 00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:41,240 going to get the flu, and all this other nonsense that is complete conjecture 249 00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:49,000 and baloney. So what's happening now is the FEDS are requiring cows transported between 250 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,920 states to be tested for the bird flu. What is supposed to happen? 251 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,839 What always does happen? For example, when I buy cows up in Vermont 252 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,039 to bring into my farm here in Massachusetts, I have they have to have 253 00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:04,640 a health certificate from the state in order to ship them over the state line. 254 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,680 And you know whether you do that or you don't do that. If 255 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,720 you're a good farmer, you know whether a cow is healthy or not healthy, 256 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,400 and you know that's you can tell. But then they test the blood 257 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:22,000 and they do other things. But this bird flu, which basically has been 258 00:20:22,039 --> 00:20:26,759 around for a couple of years, it's affected. It's from the poop of 259 00:20:26,839 --> 00:20:33,160 geese and other animals of that ilk, and they have salmonella in their poop 260 00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:37,799 and the birds also there are other birds that you know, regular birds that 261 00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:47,000 are transporting this flu. And if the cows eat something that has the feces 262 00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:51,400 of a bird, a bird plops or poop on a cow or something like 263 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,599 that, and then they have a bird flow. The cows are going to 264 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,799 get it, but it's not going to kill them, and it really isn't 265 00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:00,319 going to hurt the milk. Even if you have the flu, who's in 266 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,920 it? Are you going to get the flu? You're not going to die, 267 00:21:03,279 --> 00:21:06,400 But are you going to get the flu? It's not proven yet, 268 00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:12,119 Frankly, it's but as usual when something unusual happens like this, everybody goes 269 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,359 bananas, don't drink any milk. Jay's happy to tell you to go drink 270 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,799 that almond crash milk is icious. Cats, I'm sorry, I misspoke. 271 00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:32,319 Cashew non dairy is delicious. Okay, good for you. All right, 272 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,200 let's see what else here. There's a new and then we're going to talk 273 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,960 about this this week with doctor Ken. I think, uh, the FDAs 274 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,599 have proved an antibiotic to treat urinary infections. If I can pronounce this, 275 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:51,119 let me try Okay, you any want me to try this. It's pivmicillium, 276 00:21:53,559 --> 00:22:00,480 pivmicillium, pivemicillium, piv maicillium. This has been a drug that's been 277 00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:03,839 used in Europe for a long time, but the FEDS here is that not 278 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,200 FDA not we can't have that here, and we got to test it instead 279 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,839 of whatever. So it's going to be available next year. But mostly it's 280 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:18,240 for women, not for men. So am I going to ask an indelicate 281 00:22:18,319 --> 00:22:22,039 question here? Yes? I guess I will. What's you know? Urine? 282 00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:27,519 A urine? You're well men's yeah, we have a yeah, function 283 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,279 looks different obvious fure as men do get uti is that, there's no doubt 284 00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:37,279 about that. But also take take notice of this medication needs additional testing. 285 00:22:37,319 --> 00:22:41,279 Medication that has approved in other countries need additional testing before they put it on 286 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:47,799 the market here. Yet our food or food like products that are very easily 287 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,839 to get here are completely pulled off the shelves. Or we have the same 288 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,720 products with different ingredients. When you like, take one box of cereal here 289 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,880 versus another box of cereal that's the same product, the same maker. Every 290 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,400 thing is the same in the UK, and then you look at the ingredients. 291 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,359 Listen, the ingredients are completely different. Why are they so will and 292 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:11,160 nelly with our food? But when it comes to medication they are really test 293 00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:17,759 things. Yeah, it's a constituency much anything else. We've been trying for 294 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,559 years. The farmers have been trying for years to get beef that's coming from 295 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,880 Chile in Brazil to be labeled as such because it's not as good as the 296 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,640 American beef. It just isn't. But can you get that done? Ew 297 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:36,039 the lobbyists that work for those institutions, and that is what surprises me about 298 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:41,359 this drug stuff, because the lobbyists are really big time, super strong and 299 00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:45,799 effective when it comes to the drug companies. But they obviously can make this 300 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,960 work, which is you bring up the right question, Jay, No question 301 00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:53,279 about that. There's always something so special about getting the gift of Omaha Steaks. 302 00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:56,720 I know that it is one of my favorite gifts to give, It's 303 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,160 one of my favorite gifts to receive, and especially around holiday times when we 304 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,680 know we are going to be loaded up and we start planning our menus around 305 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,039 it.

I consider this to be really good news because I'm a 316 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:02,440 lot of things, including a frequent flyer. Yesterday, the Department of Transportation 317 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:10,680 said it's going to implement stricter passenger right rules, including one that requires all 318 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:18,359 of the domestic airlines to provide you with cash refunds when the flights are canceled. 319 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,200 You know, they don't. They give you a flight voucher and you 320 00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:23,000 got to use it in a year, and what happens if you don't use 321 00:25:23,039 --> 00:25:27,440 it in the year, You get screwed. So in this case, no 322 00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:32,200 more, I think was this is one of the good You know, there 323 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,880 are a lot of things I can say about this administration that I think are 324 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,680 cool, but I do think this is something that is very very appropriate, 325 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:48,759 frankly, so good for them. The story from Indiana today about an elementary 326 00:25:48,799 --> 00:25:55,759 school that has become the first there to approve a four day school week. 327 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,599 What are the hours? What are the school hours? They're an extra hour 328 00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:06,720 every day, but they say it will save them lots of money and energy. 329 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:14,480 The teachers like the idea. Apparently of working four days a week doesn't 330 00:26:14,559 --> 00:26:18,519 change the number of hours that they work. I wonder though, so I 331 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,400 think children need to kind of be occupied, and not that schools should be 332 00:26:23,599 --> 00:26:30,279 responsible for just occupying them, But I do think that I don't know. 333 00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:33,559 It's like the four day work week. I'm not sure that I go for 334 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,400 that either. There are a lot of companies that still now are employing it. 335 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,599 They work ten hours a day and four days a week, and they 336 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:48,200 have three days off, so it's still working forty hours. And I don't 337 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,440 know. It just maybe it's just on a traditionalist and it doesn't set well 338 00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:56,240 with me. But if it's trying, a lot of people will watch it 339 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:02,319 carefully to see how it works. That's all where it goes. It starts 340 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,680 next year, next school. Here. A couple of new types of mosquito 341 00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:12,880 nets important tools for fighting malaria as there is more of it around now. 342 00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:21,200 Most all doctors and medical folks thought that malaria was all done, it wasn't 343 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,119 going to be a problem anymore, but that's not the case now. In 344 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:30,920 Africa and also in any equatorial region where it's hot and wet, mosquitos are 345 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:37,359 all over the place. They're becoming resistant to a lot of the stuff that 346 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,480 you know you're spray to get rid of them. That happens with lots of 347 00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:51,240 insects. They become immune to it after a while. So anyway, yesterday 348 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,400 in Colorado, the Parks and Wildlife guys rescued a pair of yearling mountain lions 349 00:27:56,079 --> 00:28:00,759 that were trapped in a dam. You watch the video. This is really 350 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,359 pretty amazing stuff. You get right down to it. The animal kingdom, 351 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,400 and how do we get along? How do they get along with us? 352 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,960 And how do we get along with them? How do we survive with them? 353 00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:19,079 How do they survive with us? And so a couple of the parks 354 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:25,640 guys were on alert and they were able to get They were able to save 355 00:28:25,799 --> 00:28:29,200 the mountain lions, which is important to a lot of people, somebody who 356 00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:32,759 cares. But no, they deserve to be able to live the same as 357 00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:37,519 you do. Frankly, all right, speaking of that, the problem with 358 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,960 bears is getting bigger and bigger. And here's about as dumb a thing as 359 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:47,359 you can get. The woman named Maura Gallagher, seventy two years old, 360 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:52,200 vacationing in Romania with a friend of hers. They decided to go for a 361 00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:56,240 drive through the mountains. During the outing, the women came across some brown 362 00:28:56,359 --> 00:29:02,799 bears and they were trying to get photos. Okay, so you know from 363 00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:07,000 here it's going down though of Darwin. Yep, right exactly. So she 364 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:12,640 puts the window down and this woman, dummy that she is seventy two years 365 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:18,880 old, tries to take a selfie with the bear. And did you hear 366 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,519 what she said about the situation, because the bear gives so she said, 367 00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:27,440 I thought the bear wanted to be friends. She also said I didn't get 368 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:33,880 a proper picture, so I wanted to get closer. So anyway, she 369 00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:37,279 get rolled out in a stretcher. She's lucky to have her arm and the 370 00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:41,880 rest of her being. Frankly, this is she was a mummy bear with 371 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:48,079 a baby. Hello, stupid. Doesn't everybody know that you don't go near 372 00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:52,200 a bear if it has a cub with it? She says, we saw 373 00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:55,279 these bears and they were gorgeous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're a 374 00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:00,920 numskull. So anyway, it's not lucky. Bear wanted to get into the 375 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,240 car, and well, that'll be an even better photo. Let's nott the 376 00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:07,480 bear into the car, right, and let's eat get eaten by the bear. 377 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,440 That'd be great. They survive so we can make fun of them. 378 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,799 Yeah. Yeah, but but but how are you that clueless? Honestly, 379 00:30:17,559 --> 00:30:22,240 how are you that? How did you make it to seventy two years of 380 00:30:22,319 --> 00:30:26,720 life? Yeah? Thank you?
