Friday, 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,160 May the fifth be with you? Or for some people who like celebrating the 5 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,879 end of the week, they have a fifth and they finish it off during 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,199 during the day. Right, there you go. It's that's heavy with you. 7 00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:29,280 Why you've been a buying Okay, so I'm not having a fifth. 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,240 I'm not even having a fourth. I had the fourth yesterday, I had 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,679 the third the day before. Why do they call it a fifth? That 10 00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:38,119 would be a good question. Maybe you don't know the answer to that. 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:44,000 Jay Kershner is here. She often knows the answer to my questions. And 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,280 my question is why is it called the fifth? Is it a fifth of 13 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,960 a leader, a fifth of whether you know what? They call it? 14 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,960 More often than I've heard it apply to vodka A fifth yea liquors. It 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000 was because that was the standard bottle size. I guess once upon a time 16 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,920 it was the standard. Oh really is that it? Oh? Okay, 17 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:11,640 huh, there you go, Thank you very much. Here we are with 18 00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:18,439 another opportunity to engage our brains in our mouths and our connection with each other. 19 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,680 Eight five five nine nine nine, Doug is a good way to arrange 20 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,799 a connection with me as we talk about the events of the day, things 21 00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:29,599 that people are talking about, and certainly people are now talking with a little 22 00:01:29,599 --> 00:01:34,120 more educated Yes, but I think that it's I think we mentioned this yesterday. 23 00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:38,079 As far as Jamie Foxx is concerned, he's had a stroke and the 24 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:45,239 stroke has taken its toll as a stroke would. There are men his age, 25 00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:48,599 he's in his mid fifties who do have that problem, more black men 26 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,840 than white men at that age. And he always has looked to me like 27 00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:56,599 he's in great health. So you never can tell, and there isn't anybody 28 00:01:56,599 --> 00:01:59,920 who's going to stand out there and tell you publicly, because the family does 29 00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:02,799 want you to know that. But two and two is still four and he's 30 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,680 been out of he's been gone for a month. Is SPECULA Is this your 31 00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:12,039 speculation or have you seen this somewhere? Because I have not read this. 32 00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:15,199 I have not I totally get where you are coming from with this, and 33 00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:19,080 you may not be wrong. I just have not seen it. For another 34 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,919 way of saying, I may be right, I haven't seen it fully reported 35 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,759 anywhere. The only thing, which you know, people who are close to 36 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,120 him, who was it recently? I think Kevin Hart, who was asked 37 00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:30,639 straight out and he was like, look, that's not my place to say 38 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:36,879 anything. If it's actually a really private person. So when he's ready, 39 00:02:37,719 --> 00:02:42,159 yeah, it will be on him. But you yeah that when you the 40 00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:45,759 way you put it, that kind of sounds like it might be accurate. 41 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,199 I just haven't seen that officially reported, right. Well, you know what, 42 00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:54,159 um the official? What does it mean to be official? You're somebody 43 00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:58,159 that can read a report and then go, Pa, well, I'm a 44 00:02:58,199 --> 00:03:00,280 doctor and I can tell you this that or the other, or somebody from 45 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,520 his camp has confirmed it. I've seen it in my family, and I 46 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:10,199 know what the science. It happens quickly and oftentimes, you you know, 47 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,319 there are ways of getting back from it, depending on how severe it was. 48 00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:20,919 But being out of touch and out of sort of out of the circle, 49 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,599 especially it was in the middle of making a movie, Um, it's 50 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,080 it's been there for three weeks, yes, well, and or maybe it 51 00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:32,919 was something that was happening and they were able to catch it or if it 52 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,039 struck, maybe he had it at the hospital because he did not need emergency 53 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,479 services to take him to the hospital. Yeah, something wasn't right, and 54 00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:44,759 once he was there, they kept him, and three weeks later he's still 55 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,439 there at a hospital that he doesn't really know. If I, if I 56 00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:53,360 were in that sort of a predicament, I'd do my best to get to 57 00:03:53,479 --> 00:04:00,879 someplace you know that was where he is is not actually the seat of great 58 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,879 medical intelligence, shall we say? So you go where you can go, 59 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,080 And you know, I just I don't think we have to spend a lot 60 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,520 of time on it. I just think that under the circumstances that it's pretty 61 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,360 obvious what the heck is going on. Man, here's such a great act. 62 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:20,839 Well, it seems to be a good human being, bro. Yeah, 63 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:26,600 yes, yeah right, and you would wish that the good human being 64 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,319 part of it is something that you would Okay, you're take into account and 65 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,879 you hold a good thought. And so that's that story. This is a 66 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,000 news talk radio program. So the news is that Jamie Fox is still in 67 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,600 the hospital, and so then the conversation that comes after it is about Okay, 68 00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:47,680 so what could it really be and that's what I think it is. 69 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:56,160 Here's another item of interest, the rift that has come between Carrie Fisher's family 70 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,639 and what went on at the Walk of Fame ceremony. We have Billy Lord, 71 00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:09,040 who is her only child, not inviting the siblings to come to her 72 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,959 Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. Apparently it's been it's become. It was pretty 73 00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:17,000 blunt the other day we were talking about it, but Billy Lord said, 74 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:23,439 we have no relationship. They've tried to capitalize on my mother's fame to sell 75 00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:28,199 books about their relationship with her. Blah blah blah blah blah. And I 76 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,000 get it, frankly, I think that they know to each his own. 77 00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:36,680 Yeah, And there's a lot of turmoil there, and there's definitely a lot 78 00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:41,639 of I guess secrets that maybe only people close to her would have known. 79 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:49,959 Yeah. Yeah, So at any rate, the situation with the interest rate 80 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,839 going up again, we'll talk about that during the talk radio review and the 81 00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:00,560 talk radio Countown show, because that's something that we put our shoulder into this 82 00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:02,240 day, and it goes many of the same states to carry this program, 83 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:09,600 carry that over the weekend. But I think it's a it's there's something going 84 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,959 on here that people are now getting very uneasy about. And it may not 85 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,519 have to be speaking of money and investments a investor and investor shooting, let's 86 00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:25,680 do the right English tugger and investor, because you do, and before any 87 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,000 word that begins with a vowel, right and historian hill anyway, okay, 88 00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:35,439 yes, right, anyway, this guy's bought a couple of islands that were 89 00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:44,560 once owned by the wonderful, talented Jeffrey Epstein thirties certainly have gone over these 90 00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:48,399 islands with a fine tooth comb, and so then they became available. And 91 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:55,920 this fellow Stephen deck Off, who is an investment's person, bought the Great 92 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,600 Saint James and Little Saint James Islands in the Virgin Islands. Sick ste million 93 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:04,720 smackers. He says, I'm going to build an exclusive resort there. The 94 00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:12,560 islands were on sale for twice that oh, that just feels like it would 95 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,480 just be such a bad energy on those islands. Yeah, horrible, horrible, 96 00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:23,399 horrible, horrible. Anyway, The investment firm says the portion of a 97 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,639 significant portion of the sale proceeds to go toward the government as part of a 98 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,040 previous deal with Epstein's estate. Apparently he owed a lot of money to them, 99 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,759 and this is a The one house is twenty five rooms, and they're 100 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,600 going to rebuild it and reopen it in a couple of years. And so 101 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,480 there it is. I don't I'm not sure I know exactly where these are, 102 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:51,040 but I'm pretty sure they're down at the bottom end of the American the 103 00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:58,160 US Virgin Islands. So there you go. Don't have to rehash the story 104 00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:01,480 about Jeffrey Epstein. Anybody who doesn't know that story at this point is kind 105 00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:09,639 of like a sleep at the switch. A chemical explosion happened here in Massachusetts 106 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,120 yesterday afternoon. Four workers are pretty seriously injured. This up a new report 107 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,800 on the North Shore, up near the New Hampshire line. Let's see here 108 00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:26,759 the whole I mean, what I saw on the news last night. There 109 00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:31,360 was a conflicting story about how many people were injured and who was seriously injured 110 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:37,320 or what really happened. This is in an industrial park where there are other 111 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:45,799 companies like this. It's called Sequence, and the explosion occurred inside of the 112 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:52,279 of the of the building. They're a contract drug manufacturer. So what does 113 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,600 that tell you? There was a situation here in Framingham four or five years 114 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:07,480 ago where a company was engaged in making specific drugs. I don't know where 115 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:13,200 they there's a there's a term for a jay. It's like especially prescribed drugs, 116 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,639 designer drugs, but they are medicinal designer drugs that were being made here 117 00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:22,320 in premium and they weren't up to snuff. A lot of people were getting 118 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,559 sick, so they shut the place down. Basically, they bankrupted the family 119 00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:30,679 that was running it, as was appropriate because they were, you know, 120 00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:37,399 doing cutting corners, doing bad stuff. Right. I'm sure a lot of 121 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:46,080 people have noticed the situation with the staff writers for all the networks and for 122 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,799 movies. Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers say they're going to put their money where 123 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:56,600 their mouths are. They both do the late night shows on NBC. NBC 124 00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:01,039 is paying staffers on the show through the end of next week, and then 125 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,720 these two guys said they will pay the writers for the third week if if 126 00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:09,720 the strike goes on. Well, I guess we'll have to wait and see. 127 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,600 It's a healthcare thing as much as anything else that they explained this yesterday, 128 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,120 I hope fairly. Well, it's about healthcare. It's about pay too, 129 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,639 but it's about the circumstances. You know. You see all of the 130 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,960 excitement around being in the business, and you see all the glamor and the 131 00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:30,919 sparkle and that sort of thing. But there are eleven thousand, five hundred 132 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,279 screenwriters who you know, basically earn a base, you know, let me 133 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:41,679 say, a living wage. But these staff writers get paid like a teacher, 134 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,840 the same sort of circumstance, except they don't work all the time. 135 00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:48,840 My son has been a staff writer on two or three different occasions, and 136 00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:52,639 they pay you, you know, for going into the writer's room. That's 137 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,480 usually ten or twelve people in a writer's room for most any of these shows, 138 00:10:56,879 --> 00:10:58,080 and they're the ones that come up with the ideas and then there's a 139 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,960 head writer who sort of puts them all together. And that's what you see 140 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,840 or here when the shows are on the air and the dialogue that these people. 141 00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:13,000 Are very few shows and very few movies that are ever sort of written 142 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,840 or not written. You know. The great example of shows that weren't written 143 00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:20,720 where the smoking, the banded things, where they really had no script at 144 00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:24,919 all. They just all went in and did their thing, and I don't 145 00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:28,840 think there are too many shows. Johnny Carson used to have writers for his 146 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,440 for his monologue. That's where the late night shows mostly the writers are during 147 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,240 the monologue stuff. They don't need writers for the rest of the show. 148 00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:43,720 Yeah, or like when they do games. Yeah, right, exactly. 149 00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:48,440 Yep. So Drew Barrymore is not going to be the host of the MTV 150 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,879 Movie Awards because she's supporting the writers strike. I thought that was interesting, 151 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,519 isn't is that award? Is that show this weekend? Because yes, yeah, 152 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,720 yeah, their days away and now they have to scramble for a new 153 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,279 house. Yeah right, well, listen, I get it. Good for 154 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,840 her. He's always been very active when it came to the unions and stuff. 155 00:12:07,879 --> 00:12:15,399 So that's all of that story. It's a good news for those of 156 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,200 you who are Ed Shearing fans. We've been talking about this off and on 157 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:24,279 all week that whole business of Marvin Gays, let's get it on being an 158 00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:30,759 important part of thinking out loud, but not so fast. Yeah, there 159 00:12:30,799 --> 00:12:35,039 are there are mashups where sometimes things are similar enough where they they will go 160 00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:39,080 over. Ed Shearon during his concerts does a mashup of thinking out Loud and 161 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,759 then transitions into Marvin Gays Let's get it On, which Ben Crump called a 162 00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:46,519 smoking gun, and he was like, why would I be that stupid if 163 00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:50,639 I actually stole the song to go ahead and do a mashup version of myself? 164 00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:52,879 You know what? I think that's the one the day too, isn't 165 00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:56,279 it? That? Uh? Sort that That was one of the things, 166 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,080 one of the statements that they are all kinds of ways of especially today editing 167 00:13:01,159 --> 00:13:05,879 things. You can use technology to create almost anything. As a matter of 168 00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:09,799 fact, you don't even need Ed Sharon's voice anymore. You don't need Marvin 169 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,960 Gaye's voice anymore. You can take or at least originality. You can take 170 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,159 pieces of their voices from other songs and create a whole new song with AI. 171 00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:22,240 And that's something that's beginning to bother people as well. So at any 172 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:28,399 rate, there are a lot of Ed Shearon is not an r and Beer. 173 00:13:28,919 --> 00:13:33,960 He's not even from Americas, from England. And he wrote this song 174 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:39,159 with a friend of his in England. And then you look back at Marvin 175 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,720 gay and his writing. He did a lot of writing with Ed Townsend. 176 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:50,600 Ed Townsend's family was basically the originator of the suit and they were and he 177 00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:54,799 was found not guilty and they will get about unanimous decision. And then somebody 178 00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:00,320 from the legal team of Towns inside had said that I think I might have 179 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,080 even been his townson's daughter. They said that they didn't want it to have 180 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,840 to go to trial. But it's one of those things that un copyright infringement 181 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,639 or anything similar is involved. They have to go after the people even if 182 00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:15,039 they don't want to, because somewhere down the road someone else may actually infringe 183 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,279 on copyrights. And then if they go after them and they say, well, 184 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,519 but this person didn't you didn't go after them in retrospect, then it 185 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,840 kind of defeats the purpose of the next one. So it's one of those 186 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,600 they have to down the road in the future. Whatever I think. I 187 00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:31,120 don't know that I agree with that one hundred percent. They don't have to. 188 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,399 They do because some lawyer gets a hold of and well, yeah, 189 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,679 there's that, and if it's genuine, that's great. A couple of years 190 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:46,480 ago, Marvin Gaye's family one about five million bucks in a lawsuit that claimed 191 00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:52,480 Robin Thick and Farrell Williams. And there's some blurred lines copied to Marvin Gay's 192 00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:56,799 got to give it up, and so there's a fine line here. But 193 00:14:56,919 --> 00:15:01,799 I think these people are looking for a payday. Frankly, that was part 194 00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:05,000 of it so at any rate, and they don't get it from this circumstance 195 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,200 anyway. I'm Greg. I'm sixty eight years old. I grew up in 196 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,519 Cleveland, Ohio, major in business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition 197 00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:18,960 to substitute teaching. Part of the reasons for my motivational speaking is I kind 198 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,080 of feel like I have a calling or giving back to the younger generation. 199 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,799 You know, the golden role is doing to others you'd have them doing to 200 00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:28,879 you. My wife, Wanda, is a senior flight attendance, has been 201 00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:31,919 flying for over thirty years. We do laugh quite a bit. I think 202 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:37,120 most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly a say used 203 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,799 to, or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. I've 204 00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:45,919 been taking priviging for about three years now. People say to me periodical, 205 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,320 Man, you got a memory like an alpha. It's really really helped me 206 00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:56,080 tremendously, providing healthier brain, better life. Greg Freely is a paid testimonialist 207 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,919 and real privileging user based on the clinical study of subgroup of individuals who were 208 00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:03,840 cognitively normal or mildly imperative. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, 209 00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:08,639 cure, or prevent any disease. This is Sinco de Mayo. Jay 210 00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:11,639 and I are going to celebrate after the program, going out and getting drinks 211 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,960 tequila. Right, what else shall we have? What about just the food 212 00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:25,720 half some tacos. Have some tacos yay. So this is not Mexican Independence 213 00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:30,440 Day as a lot of people think it is. That doesn't mean it's any 214 00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:37,000 less important or notable for the people who come from Hispanic backgrounds. This is 215 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,080 the French got involved with the Mexicans back in the eighteen nine it was eighteen 216 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,960 fifties, eighteen sixties, somewhere in there. And so there were a lot 217 00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:52,000 of names that were present at the time. Benito Warez for whom, this 218 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,879 city, this sea, the city hell us. I always love this, 219 00:16:55,879 --> 00:17:06,000 want to go to El Paso. The sea is anyway, So there are 220 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,119 a lot of characters who are involved in the events of that time. A 221 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,960 lot of books have been written about a lot of movies have been done about 222 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:23,039 it, and so are the resistance forces were successful against the French ultimately, 223 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,680 and so is that something also It changed the history of Mexico. But did 224 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,880 it change the history of the United States as well? Probably? Yes, 225 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,839 yeah, I mean we learn about the Battle of Puebla in school. And 226 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,559 this is it, even though so many people think, oh, it's it's 227 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,160 the Mexican independence stay and it's not. It No, no, less important. 228 00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:52,079 It is a very important annual celebration. It commemorates this huge victory. 229 00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:56,920 Well for those of you who don't think that, you know, we go 230 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,960 through this whole business about immigration once again this week. It's a it's come 231 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,480 back into the talk radio countdown as an item because Joe Biden has done such 232 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:12,880 a miserably horrible job at protecting the borders, or intervening or making it work 233 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,279 the right way, of any number of things. It would be nice if 234 00:18:17,279 --> 00:18:22,200 we didn't just throw molotov talk cocktails at the fact that we're not doing it 235 00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:26,200 right and hello, have some leadership and let's fix the problem. And that's 236 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:32,160 not what we're doing. And so it reflects poorly both on the Mexicans and 237 00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:37,519 on the Americans. Frankly, it's a it's a mess. The other thing 238 00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:41,440 that's a mess, well, I guess we are. We can come up. 239 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,640 I'm looking at the top thing things on the chart this week from talkers, 240 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,240 and pretty much everything's a mess. One of the things that I feel 241 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,519 very strongly about is this whole business of AM radio and having its stay in 242 00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:59,599 automobiles. There's another group which I was a member for a while, National 243 00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:07,400 Season of Farm Broadcasters. They have sent a letter to Michigan Senator Debbie Stabino 244 00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:11,400 asking her, well, you know, I think yesterday we were talking about 245 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:17,599 what's going on in Michigan itself, because that's the home of the American automobile 246 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,119 industry. Even though you know, there are a lot of other states that 247 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,559 have car plants, most of them are in Michigan still, and in the 248 00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:27,680 Detroit area. There's some down around Cleveland, and then there's some in the 249 00:19:27,759 --> 00:19:30,960 South. There used to be a plant here in mass in my hometown of 250 00:19:32,039 --> 00:19:36,119 Framingham. General Motors built a huge plant. They made Buicks and Oldsmobiles and 251 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,599 Pontiacs here in the sixties and seventies and eighties. So the idea of AM 252 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:48,079 staying in automobiles. Now people have turned to Stabino, who's chairman of the 253 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,960 Senate Agriculture Committee, to get her and the folks who are involved in agriculture 254 00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:00,000 and rural life in America behind this effort to keep am radios in cars. 255 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,799 Very important ought not to be forgotten. Needs to be something that's a focus, 256 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,680 and frankly is so let's keep it that way. You got to keep 257 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:12,200 the eat on, if you will. Speaking of Senator Senator di Fi, 258 00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:21,880 Diane Feinstein's come out this week defending her absence from the Senate she's on the 259 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,200 Judiciary Committee. She says there's been no slowdown of judicial nominees, which is 260 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,039 folly because there certainly has been. There's a log jam of about what one 261 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,640 hundred and eighty I think the judge appointments that have been stalled by the Republicans 262 00:20:34,839 --> 00:20:40,799 because they don't have enough there is no majority of Democrats to move them along, 263 00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:42,640 which is in a sense kind of too bad that there's that much of 264 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,599 a direct divide, but we all know that's kind of what's going on. 265 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,920 Some of these nominees are horror shows. Joe Biden and his people have nominated 266 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:59,480 some really really bad people, unqualified individuals. But yet then there are others 267 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:06,839 who are that seemed to be okay, apparently seven were were somehow confirmed this 268 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,759 week. Somehow she got her two cents for I don't know she was actually 269 00:21:10,759 --> 00:21:12,720 there. I'm gonna clear on that, whether she showed up or they would 270 00:21:12,759 --> 00:21:18,119 did a zoom thing or whatever. But the Democrats still wanted to resign so 271 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,119 that they can get more of these uh more of these nominations through. She 272 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,880 actually is kind of sick. She has shingles, which you wouldn't wish on 273 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,079 your worst enemy, frankly. No, that's it's related to the chicken pox, 274 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,839 the same virus chicken pox. Right, you've hads, then it's already 275 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,599 in your system and it's just kind of waiting stays there forever. Yeah, 276 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,880 yep. Yeah. But in terms of what's going on, it is really 277 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:48,440 sad when you kind of look at it that politicians, whatever the parties are 278 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,440 politicians the voters would rather get somebody that's not as qualified in office just to 279 00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:57,000 keep their own party there. Yeah, right now, exactly, yep. 280 00:21:57,759 --> 00:22:03,359 So there are a number of people, though I noticed that they're the Republicans 281 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:11,480 appointing to a one person who seems to be the most of all of the 282 00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:21,920 people who are nominated, there seems to be one person, the nomination of 283 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,400 Michael Delaney, an Attorney General from New Hampshire. He's nominated to be on 284 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,279 the Circuit, the first Circuit Court of Appeals. And the people here in 285 00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:34,160 Massachusetts, in Maine and New Hampshire and Rhode Island and Puerto Rico who are 286 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:40,240 in that circuit, many of them don't like This guy has been pretty contentious. 287 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,319 He worked in the case he defended Saint Paul's School, a private school 288 00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:51,640 up in New Hampshire, when he was a private attorney in a case where 289 00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:00,319 this guy was accused of this student accused of raping he was eighteen fifty year 290 00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:06,400 old girl that he raped. This guy defended him, And yeah, that's 291 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,440 you pick and choose, and you do or die by what you've done. 292 00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:15,880 You look at your reputation. You're only a product of all the things that 293 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,720 you've done right under the circumstances. You know you have to be held accountable. 294 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,559 Was it just one of those things? I don't know. There are 295 00:23:23,599 --> 00:23:30,160 a couple of other nominees that are pretty controversial, and I go back to 296 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,920 what I say, there are so many lawyers around, so many lawyers that 297 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,839 aren't political, so many lawyers that have been involved in helping lots of people. 298 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,799 Why can't we get why do we have to go back again into this 299 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:48,079 political bucket and pick out people who are It's a horror show picking out people 300 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,559 who are stridently either the left of center. Yeah, right, the best, 301 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,119 thank you, that's really very good, the best of the worst. 302 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,920 Nope, sorry, no sail here, not at all. In Hawaii, 303 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:11,559 vacation took a dramatic turn for a couple of tourists. I shouldn't chuckle at 304 00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:14,359 this because I've had this happened to me, but it didn't have the same 305 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,720 consequences. So they were they put in their destination. They're driving a Dodge 306 00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:25,519 Caravan, and they put into the GPS what their destination is. And the 307 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,599 tourists they don't know where they're going, that's why they use the GPS. 308 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,200 So what does the GPS direct them to do? They sends them straight into 309 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,240 the harbor, right over a cliff. I hope they had insurance on that 310 00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:41,920 rental car. Wow, head first into the boat ramp and into the water. 311 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:48,119 So anyway, it was apparently raining as they were driving. They you 312 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,839 know, it rained heavily in the Pacific those islands. Yeah, it was 313 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,279 hard to thee Yeah, and they are okay, they were rescued, yeah 314 00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:03,119 right, but still so yeah right, point yourself in that position. Anybody 315 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:11,559 know what Swedish death cleaning is. Sounds like a funeral ritual, right done, 316 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:18,359 It's actually about living. It's a Swedish practice that was presented in the 317 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,799 book The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleansing, involving a person going through their 318 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,720 things so they don't burden their loved ones with junk when they die. Yeah. 319 00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:30,079 Right, it's kind of a good idea. Also, get to live 320 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,680 in more like a decluttered situation. And it's even the now like minimalism in 321 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,880 the sense that you are getting rid of a lot of stuff. But it's 322 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,319 not like minimalism and the sense for minimalism, you basically have to get rid 323 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,359 of everything, and if you bring something new in, something else has to 324 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,000 go out. You exchange things. But with this it's if it means something 325 00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:52,920 to you and you genuinely truly love it, you use it on a regular 326 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,039 basis. It doesn't matter how many items you have, just make sure anything 327 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,599 gets out. Yeah, you don't have to be in Sweden to do that. 328 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,440 You can do it yourself. As you're plotting. We're all heading in 329 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,039 the same direction. And I think this would be pretty therapeutic, don't you. 330 00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:11,240 Yeah. And it's not like you have to wait until you are just 331 00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:15,319 before hospicecare or something like that. You can do it now. Ready to 332 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,519 tank exactly. We all have a lot of things, and probably many of 333 00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:21,720 them. I know as I look around, the attic has got a lot 334 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,079 of things in it that I probably don't need. I'm trying to clean up 335 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,519 in the barnyard and around the barns down at the farm. I'm trying to 336 00:26:29,559 --> 00:26:32,200 clean that all up. We've sold a lot of stuff. We're going to 337 00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:36,839 have next week what we call the Junk in the Trunk sale, which is 338 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,799 people including us, cleaning out everything and bring it to the farm and we 339 00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:44,799 will get people together. Usually about a thousand folks show up for that. 340 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,000 We did a couple of times last year. Bring your junk in your trunk 341 00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:53,640 and put it out for sale and get what you can get. Here's one 342 00:26:53,640 --> 00:27:00,160 of the most powerful objects in the universe. Astronomers solving a mystery of quasars. 343 00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:06,400 There used to be a TV I think General Electric had a TV called 344 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:11,680 a quaisar when these when that first that word was first used because they wanted 345 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:17,640 people buying the TV to know they were getting the brightest, the most powerful 346 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,079 of all the television sets in the world. And it happens that's what a 347 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:29,960 quasar is. And so scientists this week unlocked one of the biggest quasars. 348 00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:34,839 Apparently they're ignited by galaxies colliding. Wow, think about that. Huh. 349 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:41,359 Here we are in our galaxy in the Milky Way, traveling and where who 350 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,039 knows where we're going and where we've been. We just keep moving. But 351 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:55,000 quasars can shine about as brightly as a trillion stars packed into the size of 352 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,400 our solar system. Can you imagine? That? Sounds amazing. When you 353 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,920 google pictures of quasars, it is I mean, it looks like something as 354 00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:07,000 a can art project. It doesn't look like it can write be something that's 355 00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:11,480 actually real and something out there. Yeah, you can see a lot of 356 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:17,720 those pictures as the various telescopes have contributed to more information about these things, 357 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,599 and they are available at the NASA website. But there, let's see, 358 00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:27,119 there are forty eight quasars apparently they've been observing with the various galaxies that are 359 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:33,160 in our neck of the woods, and so the people studying these things say, 360 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:38,759 quasars one of the most extreme phenomena in the universe, and it's likely 361 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:45,960 to represent our future because the Milky Way sooner or later will collide with the 362 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,960 Andromeda galaxy. That'll be the next that will be in five billion years, 363 00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:55,799 will be toast. Here about that. We only have five billion years left. 364 00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:59,119 Folks, make the best of it. Clean out your closets while you 365 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,920 can't.

I'm gonna I'm trying to prop him up right now, give 383 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,480 me a moment while we think about automotive interiors. You know, a lot 384 00:30:19,519 --> 00:30:23,599 of cars have new interiors. They've come a long way in the last couple 385 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:29,599 of years, and thankfully today's even inexpensive new cars. I don't have to 386 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:34,000 be uncomfortable or ugly. Rich Rosario is reporting for us now.

Brian Moody, executive editor for 390 00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:55,920 Autotrader, shares Autotraders best interiors under fifty thousand dollars for twenty twenty three. 391 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,000 The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon appear on our list for twenty twenty three, 392 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,119 and both trucks have embraced the driver centric, highly functional dashboard, throwing symmetry 393 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:10,480 aside for a big, useful interface. The new Electric Hounday Ionic six features 394 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,880 an airy cabin and a clean, minimalist interior. New car buyers don't need 395 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,640 to sacrifice interior comfort or function just because they're on a budget. The Bulbo 396 00:31:19,839 --> 00:31:26,680 XC forties interior is filled with sustainable fabrics and vegan leather alternatives, feeling rich 397 00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:32,039 and clean with a spa like atmosphere, while the Honda CRV continues its march 398 00:31:32,119 --> 00:31:37,119 toward elegance with a new more spacious interior design.

All right, so 400 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:47,119 do you agree with the contention here Nick that there's no such thing anymore as 401 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:52,319 a bad car. You cannot make a bad car and survived. We were 402 00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:56,160 talking about hundays and thirty five years ago with a piece of crap they were. 403 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,680 But now, yeah, they're very respectable because everybody has to basically make 404 00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:05,079 the same car to compete, right, Yeah, absolutely, And you're right. 405 00:32:05,359 --> 00:32:08,000 It's down to choice now, Doug. It's like what people actually like 406 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:14,400 personally on the inside of cars and where the seating positions, those style things. 407 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:15,880 But I mean, I've been road tripping on some of the at least 408 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,240 expensive cars in America, be honest with you, they're probably a luxury car 409 00:32:21,359 --> 00:32:23,400 compared to what we were doing thirty years ago. Yeah, so things have 410 00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:28,680 improved. There's so much better. There's the occasional cars interior that I don't 411 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,599 like, but it's more a personal preference than it is anything that really and 412 00:32:32,759 --> 00:32:37,400 truly wrong with it. Where the buttons and bows are. Speaking of buttons, 413 00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:42,319 I see that some of the carmakers are bringing back buttons and knobs because 414 00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:46,240 people are rejecting the touch screen and whether you know, the simple dashboard, 415 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:52,079 remember the good old days when you could turn on the radio. Yeah, 416 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,960 other things. So who's bringing that back. Well, there's a lot of 417 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,799 people that are doing things. For instance, Mazda has actually in some of 418 00:32:59,799 --> 00:33:02,759 the because you're not they don't have a touch screen anymore. You have to 419 00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:06,640 do it from the buttons off in the wheels. It'll display everything, but 420 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:12,799 you can't such right, And the idea is that you you're focusing on the 421 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,880 road, which you know, let's be honest with you. More and more 422 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,559 stuff you put in a car, the less and less we focus anyway, 423 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,799 So if you know, quit putting stuff in cars, it might change the 424 00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:24,359 whole whole way we do things, except make sure that you keep an AM 425 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:29,160 radio in your cars. All right, So you've been in Italy this week. 426 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,200 What were you driving? Alfa Romeo. They have a new Tenale, 427 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,240 which is a small subcompact car. It's sort of about the size of a 428 00:33:37,359 --> 00:33:39,799 Rouv four, but it's obviously a luxury vehicle. Um, the history of 429 00:33:39,799 --> 00:33:44,839 Alfa Romeo is amazing. I didn't know that. You know, Enzo Ferrari 430 00:33:45,079 --> 00:33:47,079 used to drive for the Alfa Romeo team. No, no, this, 431 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:53,000 yeah, yeah, well exactly. I went to the museum. I learned 432 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:59,720 an awful lot about Alfa Romeo. They're great Italian brand and the French who 433 00:33:59,759 --> 00:34:04,880 now our own renaut Sitchan who now owned the Alfa Romeo brand. They're coming 434 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,960 back to the United States with four so expect to see a whole bunch of 435 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:12,679 new Alfa Romeos in the next five ten years. All right, BMW says 436 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,679 don't drive their cars if there's a Chacata airbag in it. Is that the 437 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,880 encapsule version of the real story? What is going on here the older car? 438 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,800 Yeah, it's just it's just that same old Takata thing. We I 439 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,400 think the government probably should have smacked them down. I don't know if you 440 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,920 remember, but about two years ago, yeah, yeah, we were hearing 441 00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:35,239 don't drive your Subaru and don't drive this. But everyonebody has jacatas. They're 442 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,920 all years by everybody, right, Yeah, I mean supply it's the same 443 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,159 thing with a lot of things. Most screens in vehicles come from the same 444 00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:46,000 factories around the world. So you know, please don't drive your BMW's if 445 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,519 you have those certain years and they come down to the three series two thousand 446 00:34:51,519 --> 00:34:54,239 and two thousand and six and the M three two thousand, two thousand and 447 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:59,760 three. But you can all go always go to NHTSA dot gov and type 448 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,079 in your VIN number and it'll always tell you whether you have a recall of 449 00:35:02,119 --> 00:35:07,840 any kind. But unfortunately BMW falling to the Takata hammer. The hammer, 450 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:15,559 all right, remind me next week to talk about synthetic gasoline and synthetic fuels 451 00:35:16,639 --> 00:35:22,719 and stuff that's made from different sources and whether that's going to help the if 452 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:27,199 we can still drive a car with gasoline powered engines, Where to report for 453 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,039 fuel, Nick Miles.
