I hear, I do not. 9 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:23.679 I know you. 10 00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.440 I hear every third word, and I hear an echo. 11 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:29.800 So we're going to hang up and call you back. Okay, 12 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:33.359 so hang up, We're going to hang up on you. 13 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.399 We're going to call you back, and I will vamp hi. 14 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.640 It's the other side of midnight. It's a show filled 15 00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:49.000 with exciting production and complicated hoops and it's a yeah. 16 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.960 Oh it's Monday morning. Welcome brand new week. I hate 17 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.079 it when morning men say that. It's like, I mean 18 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.280 a brand new week and I've got I can't hear 19 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.600 anything in test test I've got. Oh, we got the 20 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.560 earphones with the tin the tinfoil like you made when 21 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.719 you were a kid and you would set up an 22 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.760 intercom that you could talk to your best friend at 23 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.439 the house next door. Well, that's what I've got. It's 24 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.400 a special challenge. Do you hear an edge in my voice? 25 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.760 Pay no attention to it. Just pay attention to the 26 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.560 words I had the best weekend. There are two reasons 27 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.359 for this, and I hope you had a well. I 28 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:28.000 don't care if you had a best weekend. But I 29 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.000 had a great weekend. And here's the weekend I had. 30 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:37.560 My wife and children were not home any questions, and 31 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:42.159 then they're not going to be home all week. And 32 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.519 then I did what I wanted to do. Now I'm 33 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.480 going to give you an example. Maybe you can relate 34 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:50.319 to this. Maybe you can share this. When I was 35 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.040 in a room and I wanted to go to a 36 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.840 different room, I stood up and I walked to that room, 37 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.560 like what I know, it's insane, mean, nobody said did 38 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.200 you leave anything? Did you leave any cups in the 39 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.640 TV room? Are there any cups in the TV room? 40 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.159 For some reason, the inventory on the cups dominates my 41 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:17.000 wife's thinking. It is completely changed from our honeymoon. Now 42 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.599 it's did you leave anything in the TV room? Is 43 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.360 there anything in there that I'll need to pick up later? 44 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.439 You know how this goes. You've seen this transcript your 45 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:32.039 entire life. Your mother shared it with you, your wife 46 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.199 has shared it with you. If you made that mistake 47 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.840 every time when I was a kid. We were in 48 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.919 the car with my grandfather. Every time on a Saturday 49 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.680 we went by a church and there was a wedding 50 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.560 four point thirty on a Saturday afternoon. My grandfather would 51 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.599 always say the same thing, go another mistake. That's all 52 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.759 he'd say, without any extrapolation, without any comment. It was 53 00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:00.400 like another mistake, and there it is. And here's the 54 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.039 best part of that story. I have a happy marriage. 55 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.319 This is I have a good marriage, and I'm delighted 56 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.199 when they're all away for a week. They're down with 57 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.919 her sister and the dreaded brother in law. The dreaded 58 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:21.840 brother in law. I watch something in this time alone 59 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:26.680 that I don't binge watch. I view people who binge 60 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:30.199 watch TV shows. As week. I watch an episode and 61 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.360 then I stop, and then I do something constructive like 62 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.599 go into the kitchen, and then a day or two later, 63 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.199 I'll watch the next episode, and in the next episode. 64 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.680 But this time, I see this series and I watched 65 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.039 the first episode and I'm like, oh my god, this 66 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.800 is incredible, and then the next one, and I binge watched. 67 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.960 I would binge watch all eight episodes of this particular 68 00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:01.039 series that was like whoa never say anything this great 69 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.439 for me. It may not be perfect for you, but 70 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:08.560 I think you'll have a good time. It's called Star City. 71 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:15.879 You may recall that Russia had a Cape Canaveral. Russia 72 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.560 had a Cape Kennedy and it was called Star City. 73 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.800 That's where all of their rockets went off from. That's 74 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:25.160 where their astronauts and the teams that built the rockets worked. 75 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.720 It was in one isolated place, much like Florida, and 76 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.279 it was called Star City. This is about an alternate 77 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:38.680 history where the Russians got to the Moon first. All right, 78 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.399 you've already seen that series that was called something Beyond 79 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.199 Space or something. I don't know, but this was different. 80 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:49.480 This was Russia beat us to the moon. And this 81 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.720 series is about what happened after that at Star City 82 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:58.240 to the Russians, what happened next in the Russian space program. 83 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.519 And it's not about getting in space. It's not about 84 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.079 all of the challenges getting into space. It's about living 85 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.160 at Star City. Now. I always thought that was a 86 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.600 better name than Cape Canaveral. I always thought that was 87 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.439 a better name than Cape Kennedy. I thought, wow, star City, 88 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.920 that is pretty cool. I watched all eight episodes, and 89 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:22.079 it was stunning. Do we have Wyatt? No? Is there 90 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.399 a reason we don't have Wyatt? Is it a new 91 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:30.759 phone system to Canada? What is the problem there? Well, 92 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:36.079 just keep calling, just keep calling, radio show, live, radio show. 93 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:41.079 Walter's talking away. Probably should just keep not talking to 94 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.240 each other. Just trying to get Whyatt. I know I'm insane. 95 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:50.160 I want you to hear from Wyatt Sharp, who joins 96 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.079 us at the beginning of every Monday morning show, Sharp 97 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.800 as Hell. He happens to be a senior in high 98 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.839 school who sounds better than anybody on this radio network. 99 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.040 He's a really smart guy, but he's also a shockingly 100 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:06.680 good broadcaster. I'm very nervous when he's about putting him 101 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.879 on because he does sound better than I do, and 102 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.839 that is a challenge. No, I didn't mean it that way. 103 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.279 It's you know what I'm talking about anyway, So it 104 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.360 star City. Now get a load of what this is. 105 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:24.399 We get to see what the Soviet Union worked like 106 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.480 at the height of the Cold War, at the very 107 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.199 height of their power sixty sixty one, sixty two sixty three, 108 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.279 when Krush Jeff was in charge and then Breshnef was 109 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:39.319 in charge, it was like really hardcore Russian and we 110 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.879 get to see how it operated in ways that were terrifying. 111 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:49.199 Their spy system way advance compared to ours, their military 112 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:53.240 internal operations way advance compared to ours. And it's an 113 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.399 alternate history as to what happened after they got to 114 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.800 the moon first, how did they deal with it? What 115 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:03.079 was fascinating is what happened to us after we got 116 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.800 to the moon first. And we'll talk about that. Do 117 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.600 you have him now? Guys? Do you have him now? 118 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.399 Could I talk to him? Are you just gonna keep 119 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:15.800 talking to him? This is he that charming to you? A? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 120 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.360 I'll tell you more about Star City in seconds, But 121 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.079 right now I want to talk about Wyatt Sharp. Welcome 122 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.800 to the other side of Midnight, Wyatt. Were they having 123 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.839 a chat with you? 124 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.560 You know it's the great Canadian cell service, I think 125 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.920 is the problem? 126 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:39.079 Yeah, it's not funny. You have updates for us. Wyatt 127 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.079 runs a YouTube channel that's terrific. He also happens to 128 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:47.439 be a senior in high school, has booked amazing guests 129 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:51.839 like Hillary Clinton, and has a has a real gift, 130 00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:53.759 like a real gift. You're going to use this to 131 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:55.839 get into Harvard. I know you will. So what's your news? 132 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:55.920 What? 133 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:57.439 What? What are you doing. 134 00:07:59.000 --> 00:07:59.399 This week? 135 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.040 In Bertin The Nancy Guthrie stuff has really continued to 136 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.879 get a lot of attention after my interview with the 137 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.959 PMA County Sheriff Chris Nanos, there's been a lot of 138 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.560 developments in the case. They release some ransom notes and 139 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.240 in my interview with him with this a little bit 140 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.279 last week, but it's been kind of expanded upon. They 141 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.600 confirm that they're using something called genetic genealogy to basically 142 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.600 connect family members to the potential suspect and an effort 143 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.199 and make their investigation move along a little bit faster 144 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.120 because people are getting pretty frustrated at the pace. 145 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:33.840 Of the investigation. 146 00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:37.480 What does that mean? 147 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.879 Well, basically, what is genealogy? 148 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:43.080 No? 149 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.200 What is the pace? When do they expect some conclusion? 150 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.080 Are they happy with the pace? 151 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:51.759 Yeah? 152 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:53.399 I think that's what I'm getting at, is that they're 153 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.759 definitely not. And it's not so much even they're frustrated 154 00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.159 with the pace of the investigation so much is the 155 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:03.039 fact that the FBI director Cash Bettel, for example, said 156 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.840 just this past week that they were withheld from the 157 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.279 scene for too long, and that the sheriff of was 158 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:12.679 didn't allow the FBI to use Quantico to go through 159 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.840 a lot of the DNA in various labs. Quanticos, of 160 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.480 course the FBI's premier lab that they use for most 161 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.120 of these types of high profile investigations, but the local 162 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.399 officials there refused, and the FBI attributes that refusal to 163 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:32.120 know the slowed pace of this investigation. 164 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:38.360 Why could a local sheriff prevent the FBI from becoming involved? 165 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:40.480 How does that work? I would have assumed the FBI 166 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:41.840 had priority. 167 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.320 You know, that's a great question, and it's one that 168 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.000 a lot of people are asking, But it's actually the 169 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:53.440 state officials that can prevent the FBI from accessing the scene, 170 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.480 and that's exactly what they did. You also have I've 171 00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.080 been seeing online some people saying, well, why can't the 172 00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.759 federal government just remove the sheriff? And that goes back 173 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.840 to the fact that in Arizona they have a democratic 174 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.879 governor and Chris Nanos, the sheriff there is a Democrat. 175 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.320 So you know, even though the sheriff is the lead investigator, 176 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.919 there's still a lot of partisan politics at play. 177 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:21.960 Well, Plus, isn't the sheriff elected there not appointed. Correct, Yes, 178 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.240 therefore it'd be impossible to remove the sheriff he was appointed. 179 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.200 They'd have a better shot. But what I don't understand 180 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:34.440 is why, Well you don't have this answer, but why 181 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.159 would they delay? Why wouldn't they want all the help 182 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.279 that they could possibly get. Is it just so that 183 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.039 they'd get the credit? Is that it so the sheriff 184 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.639 could solve the case and get the credit without help. 185 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.519 I think that's definitely part of it, because I think, again, 186 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.240 going back to the politics, he wants to be, you know, 187 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:55.440 the poster child, so to speak, for solving the investigation, 188 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:58.440 and if the FBI comes in and solves the case, 189 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.799 then you know, it might take some of it away 190 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.960 from him. But I will also say that part of 191 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.080 the problem is that Pema County, the area where this 192 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.960 is happening, they have not dealt with high profile investigations 193 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.279 like this ever, not even just recently, but ever. The 194 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.320 last high profile thing that happened in Pema County was 195 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.440 the shooting of gab Giffords and that was over ten 196 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.039 years ago. And so I think a lot of it 197 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.720 I attribute to just not really a whole lot of 198 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.440 expertise in that area, even down to you know, a 199 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.879 lot of the not just the shriff himself, but a 200 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:32.679 lot of the people who make up the office of 201 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.399 the sheriff. Through no fault of their own, this is 202 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.039 something that really they weren't prepared for because of the 203 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.200 sure size of their community. 204 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.519 You and I have never heard of Puma County, Arizona before. 205 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:51.559 This must be a very very rural, desert oriented, abandoned community, 206 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:55.360 and it's curious that a woman with those means would 207 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.120 have lived in such a pathetic place. 208 00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:01.519 Yeah, yeah, I mean I just think for her, I mean, 209 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.440 her house is very nice. I think a lot of 210 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.679 people I live in a very rural area, hence the 211 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.639 cell service sometimes. But I think that for a lot 212 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.600 of people who know Nancy Guttriy, it was actually just 213 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:17.960 them trying to map out how is it that someone 214 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.519 would even know how to get to her house because 215 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:25.039 of how rule and remote her house actually is. And 216 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.960 that's why in the very beginning of the investigation, as 217 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.759 with many investigations of this nature, you have people turning 218 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.600 to the immediate people who knew her as kind of 219 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.240 the first primary suspects in the investigation. Because of how 220 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.159 rural and inaccessible her house actually was. 221 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:45.919 Yeah, my first thought was the brother, the brother, the 222 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.039 son in law who looks like resputant. The son in 223 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.799 laws looks terrifying. That was my first thought. I assume 224 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.600 they have they have blocked him out and he he 225 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.240 is in. It's out. He's been ruled out, all right. Yeah, 226 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.360 there are other stories you guys are working on tonight. 227 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:04.080 Yeah. 228 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.080 The other one that I found, and we've hinted at 229 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.320 it before but not as directly, and that is that 230 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:12.759 gen Z is actually starting to put their phone down 231 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.879 more so than before. Because of course, what we know 232 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.600 is gen Z uses phones more than any other generation. 233 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.440 They're finding innovative ways to use it, but sometimes they're 234 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.519 getting addicted to it, right, And that's why you've seen 235 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:29.000 governments trying to ban both cell phones, especially in educational settings, 236 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.919 but also banning things like social media as well. But 237 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.480 there's the report that's kind out now that says that 238 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.480 young people are actually not using cell phones as often 239 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.039 as they perhaps were, and a lot of it comes 240 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.799 down to young people wanting to have more social time 241 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.279 with friends and with family because it's something that people 242 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.679 have lost out on a lot recently. With COVID nineteen. 243 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:57.480 They were locked inside their houses, they were having to quarantine. 244 00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:01.399 And so it's really the constant notification and their algorithms 245 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.480 and the social pressure that is in some ways creating 246 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.559 a lot of chronic stress for young people, and I 247 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.120 think young people themselves are starting to realize that. 248 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.039 All Right, Wyatt Sharp. What's the name of your channel on. 249 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:16.639 YouTube, The Sharp Exchange. And We've got some really big 250 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.960 interviews coming up as well, which I'm sure we will 251 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:20.960 talk about here on your show over of course of 252 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.000 the next few weeks. I won't give away one of 253 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.360 them because it's very big, but I have one coming 254 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.080 out tomorrow with James Carville on the state of the 255 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.720 Democratic Party and kind of where things are heading. We're 256 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:36.759 talking about the Michigan primary that's coming up on August fourth, 257 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:38.200 and lots of other news as well. 258 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:43.480 All Right, The Sharp Report YouTube, Wyatt Sharp, thank you 259 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.440 for being on the Other Side of Midnight. Walter Sterling, 260 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:51.440 Red Apple Audio Networks, Mattea Spoonbowman, Hollywood. Welcome to the 261 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.519 Other Side of Midnight with Walter Sterling live from Hollywood. 262 00:14:55.200 --> 00:15:00.759 Finally we have a live connection that reaches Hollywood. It 263 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.399 cost a tremendous amount of money to get this in 264 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.360 and fourteen people working overtime to actually be able to 265 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.799 reach to you. And soon I'll get a pair of 266 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:14.960 headphones that enable me to hear stuff and I'll get 267 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.279 on it. Right now, I'm staring at a black computer screen, 268 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.480 and then over there is another black computer screen. But 269 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:27.519 you know, the trick is to ignore all that and 270 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.000 just plow ahead. And then you know what people say, 271 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:34.600 You know what people say. Then they say, they say, boy, 272 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:39.399 he's a professional. What a professional he is if he 273 00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:43.080 can do a show with a black computer screen there 274 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.600 and another one over there. And then if I touched 275 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.759 one that was you know, feeding Dominic's Sacred show and 276 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.240 it went out for eight seconds, Oh my god, that's 277 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.840 a disaster. But if it happened to me twice, there's 278 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:01.480 no problem. You know. The overnight guy boom boom in Hollywood. 279 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.080 Thank you for being my friend. I don't have any left. 280 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:06.879 Well, it's a pleasure to be your friend, and I 281 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.919 bid you a very pleasant mooring. Although you've had so 282 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:11.399 much fun thus. 283 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.080 Far, I've had a special time. 284 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.720 It's a special time. Speaking of special time, you were 285 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.720 at home by yourself. You were enjoying the new series 286 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.639 on Apple TV, Star City, and I'm curious to know 287 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:28.360 where the orange flavored Hostess cupcakes involved at all. Well, 288 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.200 you were alone and secretly there. 289 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:35.000 That's a very good question. The orange cupcakes are such 290 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:39.919 a controversial food that I don't dare eat them in 291 00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.519 the home. I only eat them alone in the car, 292 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:46.720 which is also where I eat gas station chicken. Now, 293 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:48.440 have you ever had gas station chicken? 294 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:50.600 I haven't been that brave. 295 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.480 Well, I didn't think I was that brave either, but 296 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.159 I saw every time I went to this one gas 297 00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:01.080 station which had this incredible aroma of gas station chicken. 298 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:05.160 And I saw it being made and you could get wings, 299 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:11.799 legs or or something. Strip strip not a known part 300 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:16.920 of a chicken. And so I and it smelled great. 301 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:21.559 But here's the two things that persuaded me to try it. One, 302 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.480 the owner of the gas station made it. It was 303 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:26.839 always the owner of the gas station who made it, 304 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:29.359 so I figured there was some hope there. But the 305 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.160 other thing is there was always a line. It didn't 306 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.880 matter what time day I went in, there was always 307 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.359 a line of people wanting the gas station chicken. 308 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:38.599 Hmmm. 309 00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:44.200 And there then I got it, and it's a delicate 310 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:52.680 synthesis of light, grease and just enough spice in the coating. 311 00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:57.519 Wo I know, and it's cooked perfectly. I never thought 312 00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:59.759 i'd eat it, but I can't admit it to members 313 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.400 of my family. They'll be furious that I would eat 314 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.200 the gas station check and furious. 315 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:07.720 Did the chicken me get home with you to watch 316 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.440 the television program this weekend? Or did it just stay 317 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:10.720 at the. 318 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:12.839 Gas I sit in the car at the gas station, 319 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.759 don't I don't even leave the gas station in the car. 320 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:20.240 And then then I'll go home and I will watch 321 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.640 Star City, which is uh so far from me, the 322 00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:26.359 best television I've seen in years. 323 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:29.759 I understand that Ronald D. Moore was one of the 324 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.240 creators on that, and he's got you know, he's involved 325 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:36.920 in the Battlestar galact the TV series, the Star Trek Generations, 326 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.519 Star Trek Next Generation, Star Trek First Contact. So he's 327 00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.240 a sci fi guy, and I think that's probably why 328 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:46.079 he's had a lot of sci fi experience. Did he 329 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.079 do probably one of the reasons. 330 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.359 Did he do Strange New Worlds? Is he involved with 331 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:52.119 Strange New Worlds? Which is amazing. 332 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.039 No, I haven't seen that series yet. I don't know 333 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:57.720 if he is, but I know that he did those 334 00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:59.680 three at least, and so well, that's probably one of 335 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:01.720 the reason, since it's going in that direction. 336 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:03.960 Yeah, that's something I have. 337 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:04.319 To tell you. 338 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:08.200 This has been the biggest weekend in Hollywood in recent memory. 339 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:12.359 I mean this is a big thing. I mean big, big, big, big. 340 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:16.000 The two movies that are out have now made Hollywood 341 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:20.720 the most money it's made since before COVID. So the 342 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.400 first one, of course is Spider Man Brand New Day. 343 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:25.599 We talked about it last week. That's the new Spider 344 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.000 Man movie, which is out right now, and it's rather 345 00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:31.240 good and it certainly seems to be reflecting in the 346 00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:37.200 attendance worldwide Spider Man has made since last Friday. Nine 347 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:40.480 and twenty seven million dollars. 348 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:42.720 That's impossible, It's impossible. 349 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:43.279 Nuts. 350 00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:49.039 This makes it the biggest opening weekend, second only to 351 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:53.160 the one point two billion opening weekend of Avengers Endgame, 352 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:58.359 and that was before COVID. So, as I thought might happen, 353 00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:02.240 Spider Man would knock the Audist out of first place, 354 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:05.599 and it certainly has. But nine hundred and twenty seven 355 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.720 million dollars worldwide now locally. What I mean locally, I 356 00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:13.000 mean in the US and Canada. The Spider Man made 357 00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.480 three hundred and fifty five million, but that's an amazing 358 00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:20.359 worldwide gross. So it's remarkable to me that the other 359 00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:24.839 movie that also has Tom Holland, Zendia and John Burnhal, 360 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:28.400 The Odyssey, it just sailed past nine hundred and eleven 361 00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:32.680 million worldwide on its third weekend. So it's been a 362 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:36.680 very nice time in Hollywood. Universals are proding its biggest 363 00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:41.079 grosses probably since those old Monster movies with Boris Carloff, 364 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.759 like Frankenstein and Baylor Lugosi. So it's it's a good 365 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.279 time in Hollywood, and people are very happy with Tom Holland, 366 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:50.839 who's having a great time in his career right now. 367 00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:54.519 He just married Zendaya. He's having these terrific movies, and 368 00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:57.000 then he's going to play a fault people Fred Astaire 369 00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:57.799 coming up, so. 370 00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:00.599 Well, thank god, he's worst in Hollywood. Thank god he 371 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.559 has worked. Because we were worried about Tom Holland getting work. 372 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:06.319 I know you won't, all right, my friend, what are 373 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:07.720 you reviewing next week? You know? 374 00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:12.200 Oh, I haven't seen the playlist yet from the studios 375 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:14.440 there's some sort of a rom com that has sort 376 00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.000 of a mysterious thing that I don't even remember the title. 377 00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:19.680 You know, I go to four pictures a week, and 378 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:21.680 I just put in my calendar I have to go. 379 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:24.200 I've never watched the trailers ahead of time because I 380 00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:26.519 don't want to be influenced. And then when I see them, 381 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:28.279 I said, oh, well that was good or not good, 382 00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:30.640 and then we talk about it. So looking forward to 383 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:34.039 talking to you again on Friday morning. 384 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:35.839 How do I find you on Facebook? 385 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:40.119 Mattias Bomball's Hollywood on Facebook? It's M A T I 386 00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:43.720 A S B O M B A l apostrophe s 387 00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:47.480 Hollywood just like the city. Matias Bomball's Hollywood on Facebook. 388 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:50.279 Thanks Walter, thank you for being on the other side 389 00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:52.960 of Midnight with Walter Sterling. You and I are on 390 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:59.160 the radio in Chicago on the Great wg N. Oh 391 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:01.640 my god, there's no accounting for taste. There you are. 392 00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:04.119 You got a phone number? We can talk at any time. 393 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:06.720 I'll give you a reason to talk in just moments. 394 00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:10.279 Eight hundred eight four eight nine two two two, My gosh, 395 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:13.880 is it doctor Sky? Also from Arizona? Are you in Arizona? 396 00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:17.119 Tonight, sir Ah sure end, good morning, Walter. Good to 397 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:17.640 be with you. 398 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:20.599 It's nice, but I mean your voice is just it 399 00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:25.240 ruins my mystique. Like I think I have a good 400 00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.160 radio voice and then you come on the air and 401 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:27.799 all is lost. 402 00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:32.319 No, I'm here in Arizona actually struggling through one of 403 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:35.039 the most ridiculous days. But we expect that in Arizona 404 00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:38.960 one hundred and seventeen degrees. If you believe that the momenter. 405 00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:44.000 That's impossible. How it is? How does that feel terrible? Yeah? 406 00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:45.640 I mean I set the air conditioning. I think we 407 00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:47.799 had an air conditioning conversation before, so. 408 00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:48.480 I've lowered it. 409 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.119 Actually I had it at eighty, but after listening to you, 410 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:53.799 I put it at seventy eight. And my electric bill 411 00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:55.240 is going up exponentially. 412 00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:57.480 So there you go, right, And the beauty of that 413 00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:02.440 is that every year you and I by energy efficient 414 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.680 appliances progressively energy efficient appliances, and you go, well, I 415 00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.599 got another energy efficient appliance, and therefore my bill should 416 00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:13.720 go down. And it never goes down no matter how 417 00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:17.599 many energy efficient appliances we buy, the bill always goes up. 418 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:21.240 Makes no sense. It's one of the mysteries, Doctor Sampsai, 419 00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:24.720 it's a great mystery. Well listen, doctor Sky, there's a 420 00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:28.559 great story that's fascinating, and I'd like you to share 421 00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:30.799 it with us because it's a doctor Sky's story and 422 00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:32.240 share your theories. 423 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.559 Well, Walter, this week will be another good week for 424 00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:37.839 people who love space And even if you don't, it's 425 00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.720 good to pay attention because Wednesday, something unusual is going 426 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:44.200 to happen. It's been done before, but it's never received 427 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:47.079 the media attention. And what is that They will be 428 00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:51.680 actually intentionally slamming into the Moon an upper stage of 429 00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:55.400 a SpaceX booster from a mission Walter that happened back 430 00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:58.839 in January the fifteenth of twenty twenty five. The booster 431 00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:01.519 was actually trying to get it two space probes, two 432 00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:04.039 privatized space probes to the surface of the Moon, one 433 00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:08.039 Japanese and one American. But unfortunately, apparently I don't know 434 00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:09.759 the facts on this, but I believe this is what 435 00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:13.039 I've been reading. That booster never got its way out 436 00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:15.279 of the way, so it's got into this weird orbit 437 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.160 around the Moon. So what's going to happen Wednesday? And 438 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:21.480 the calculations tell us that the impact will take place 439 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.240 at this large booster, but we have to put it 440 00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:25.440 in the mind like a theater in the mind concept 441 00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:28.960 forty five feet long, twelve feet wide. We don't know 442 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:31.519 if it has any external you know, internal propellants still 443 00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:34.039 in it, God help us. But it will be slammed 444 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:37.319 into the Moon, traveling at over five thousand miles an hour. 445 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:40.519 Whoa with a kinetic effect. If you look at kinetics, 446 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:43.160 you know the energy that can be imparted or exported 447 00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:47.039 out three tons of TNT. That's their estimate. So why 448 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.200 are they doing this? I mean, it's not just for fun. 449 00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:51.559 We don't want to intentionally litter the Moon, but that's 450 00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:55.000 a whole nother story. It's actually to test what happens 451 00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:57.640 when we create craters because in the future, at least 452 00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:00.440 that's what I hope, when we do habitate the Moon, 453 00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:03.960 we're going to have to understand what impactors do and 454 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:05.839 what kind of damage they do on the surface of 455 00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:09.000 the Moon. Now, from the observation side, I've been viewing 456 00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:11.400 the Moon like probably many people with decent to very 457 00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:14.839 high power telescopes. So the point is some media hype 458 00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:16.480 and I want to correct this if we can on 459 00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:19.440 this show, your show, I think so much in so 460 00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.519 many in the media are talking about this as if 461 00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:24.240 it might be a visible event for people. I wish 462 00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:26.640 it were, but I can't rule it out. So you 463 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:29.279 would need a fairly large telescope. So here's the dynamics 464 00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:32.079 of what's going to happen. The curring estimates say that 465 00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:36.880 on Wednesday morning, two thirty five a m. Eastern daylight time, 466 00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:40.319 and this window can change by minutes who knows West 467 00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.720 coast of course, eleven thirty five pm Pacific daylight time. 468 00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.359 Now I'll be out there with the telescope the day 469 00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:49.400 before just to set it up. But the best views 470 00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.240 would happen for the eastern to midwestern parts of the nation. 471 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.799 Here or obviously anywhereward. It's dark what you could see theoretically, 472 00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:58.759 and this has happened before. I've watched a few of 473 00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:02.079 these events, never to see the impact, but we looked 474 00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:05.400 at exactly the location. Back in two thousand and nine, 475 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.400 NASA had a mission called l Cross to the Moon. 476 00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:11.799 It was a large booster from a Centaur rocket, and Walter, 477 00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:13.920 what they were doing is slamming it into the south 478 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.599 Pole area of the Moon. And this actually this experiment 479 00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:20.559 when they slammed it in. We actually detected water vapor. 480 00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:22.960 So that's why if people wondering why are we headed 481 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:26.079 to the south pole of the moon, the possibility now 482 00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:28.359 is a fact that there is water vapor in the 483 00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:31.160 form of ice there, but this one which will be 484 00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:33.839 visible on the very bright side the left edge of 485 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.319 the moon. It may be impossible to see the flash, 486 00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:40.079 but who knows. But what could happen Walter, is that 487 00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:42.799 to briefe from that impact could actually send the plume 488 00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:45.880 of material against the edge of the Moon, where people 489 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:49.000 who have a large telescope, not binoculars, may get to 490 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.759 see something unprecedented. I've never seen that. I don't think 491 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:54.640 anybody has, so it's pretty exciting. 492 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:58.240 What does it mean to us if the moon has 493 00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:00.000 water vapor? What does that mean? 494 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.319 Meat Well, Walter in the symbolest term, This is really strange. 495 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:05.839 People always ask me, They say, what temperature is the 496 00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:08.839 lowest in the Solar System? And going back to school, 497 00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.799 everybody would think, well, the outer planets. Now, Pluto's a dwarf, 498 00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:15.720 but let's take Nepten temperatures out there can be three 499 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.400 hundred degrees below zero. Fahrernhit. How they know that they 500 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.960 take these things called spectroscopes, space probes have visited it 501 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.759 and you know, put their so called thermometer out to 502 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:27.480 measure the temperature. But we find out Walter, at the 503 00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:30.599 south post of the Moon, this is almost incredible. It's 504 00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.680 probably the coldest place in the Solar system. Temperatures allegedly 505 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:38.000 recorded at over four hundred degrees below zero fahrenheit. So 506 00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:40.680 why is it important. It's important because in the future 507 00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:44.920 when we do habitate that area, there's that possibility since 508 00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:46.960 water is so scarce, you know, not only here in 509 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.279 the United States now the big water crises, but we 510 00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:52.519 need that and that can help us to generate, you know, 511 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:55.440 future production of water if we would scrape the ice, 512 00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:58.720 let's say. And it's a possible location for as we 513 00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:01.519 talk about now, for habitation. So it's got a positivity 514 00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:04.039 to it. But this one is just to detect what 515 00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:06.880 the impact results are, in other words, what happens when 516 00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:09.400 you slam something into the Moon like that. So it's 517 00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:12.279 exciting and I'll be out there with the telescopes. 518 00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.880 And so people, and it could be that the moon 519 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.000 is hollow. Is that also something we're studying here? 520 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:21.559 Yes, And this is interesting, but let me define what 521 00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:24.480 they call hollow when the follow astronauts orbited the Lonely 522 00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:26.839 Astronaut like Michael Collins and Apollo eleven. 523 00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:30.839 Uh, he's going to have to come on and tell 524 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:35.400 us more about that. That was an amazing story. How 525 00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:38.319 they train these guys to be in the subway tunnels. 526 00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:44.079 They think they're going to be solving robberies in the Bronx, 527 00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:46.759 and now they're stuck in subway tunnels and they better 528 00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:52.559 turn the power back off fast enough. Whoa, whoa. I 529 00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:56.480 don't always get to listen or look at what he's 530 00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.200 going to talk about ahead of time, and usually I'm 531 00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:02.079 as amazed as you are. Vic Ferrari, retired New York 532 00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:08.680 City Police detective. Oh my gosh, wow, Wow, the other 533 00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:13.400 side of Midnight. That's pretty cool, mister Ferrari. Vic Ferrari, 534 00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:17.400 buy that book, for gosh sakes, by that book. I've 535 00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:20.039 never said that before, have I? No, I'm telling you that. 536 00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:29.680 By the book, I was so The situation with my 537 00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:33.599 wife went like this. Everything was fine. I was spending 538 00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.200 the weekend at my sister in law's apartment, one of 539 00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:40.480 her many of her estate, and I was staying there 540 00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:44.440 for a couple days alone. All right. Then last night 541 00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.599 I get this notification when I'm away and they want 542 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:50.359 me to do something. I don't get a phone call, 543 00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:52.599 I don't get a text. I get a notification, much 544 00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.440 as you would at work or if there was a 545 00:29:55.440 --> 00:30:00.000 police emergency. And it says, Susan's going to come there 546 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:04.680 with her daughter tonight. I'm like, okay, and that's all 547 00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:08.079 I knew. I said, when is she leaving? They said tuesday. Okay, 548 00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:11.039 that's fine, and I changed my brain so I understood 549 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:13.599 I'd be in an apartment with these two other people 550 00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:18.240 I had met twenty five years ago. Well, I go 551 00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:21.720 to sleep, I wake up today. Everything's fine. Then around 552 00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:25.400 four o'clock I get this text. And the text says, 553 00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:28.000 now they're going to be staying in the room you're 554 00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:30.319 in because there are two beds, and I want you 555 00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:32.880 to make your bed. I said, WHOA, You had already 556 00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:35.839 told me I could stay in this room. And I said, 557 00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:37.799 when did they arrive? Oh, they haven't arrived yet. They're 558 00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:40.160 going to arrive today. You told me they were going 559 00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:44.079 to arrive yesterday. Right then it starts to get slippery. 560 00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:47.559 Right then I get slippery. I'm supposed to make my bed. 561 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:51.359 I'm supposed to change rooms, and I'm all settled. I 562 00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:54.640 have my things on the dresser, I have my clothes out, 563 00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:58.200 I have my prescriptions all set up right. You know 564 00:30:58.279 --> 00:31:00.680 the situation when you check into a hotel. Will Now, 565 00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.759 I'm all checked into the hotel and I'm told I'm 566 00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:08.079 going to have to move to a different room, and 567 00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:10.319 it was already promised. I said, no, you promised me 568 00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:13.480 I could stay in this room. You, in fact said 569 00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:18.640 first dives. Whoever gets into the room first, it's first dives? 570 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:19.599 Like what? 571 00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:28.880 And it continues, it continues. This story is amazing coming 572 00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:32.319 up eight hundred eighty four eight nine two two, eight 573 00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:35.079 hundred eighty four eight nine two two two. When when 574 00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:38.279 am I supposed to do something? Don't don't do that? 575 00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:42.880 Talk to me? All right, there's Eddie Aragan. Welcome New Mexican. 576 00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:44.920 Where were you born? 577 00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:47.920 By the way, Albuquerque? Can you spell it? 578 00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:54.160 No? And and you were born in Albuquerque when it 579 00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:56.480 was territory. 580 00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:00.440 I'm not that old. It was the territory of nineteen eleven, 581 00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:04.240 became a state in nineteen twelve. We were actually older 582 00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:06.119 than Arizona, but less developed. 583 00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:12.759 My grandfather went to elementary school in Albuquerque when it 584 00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:17.799 was a territory with the American natives. No, really, he did. 585 00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:20.519 And well, so you have quite the show tonight. I 586 00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:23.759 got to say, what you and your wife that whole Wow, 587 00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:26.200 there's a lot going on. I'm glad you're batching it though. 588 00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:28.839 That's great. And well you weren't the binge watcher? 589 00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:29.839 Do you not? 590 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:31.200 Binge? No binging? 591 00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:34.839 I did watch. I did binge watch. I watched Star City. 592 00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:39.880 The UTIs, have you seen stars? I haven't. 593 00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:42.640 In this alternative history, they got there, they got to 594 00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.359 the moon first, but that isn't what this story is about. 595 00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:48.920 This story is about right after they got to the 596 00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:52.119 moon first. What happened in Star City after they got 597 00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.160 to the moon first? What did they want to do next? 598 00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:57.240 How did they do it? And how did they all 599 00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:00.000 live with each other? How did they communicate the engineer 600 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.960 and the security people? It was it's and there are 601 00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.359 no stars in it. And the fact there are no 602 00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:10.480 stars and I couldn't stop watching it means it's a 603 00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:11.319 hell of a story. 604 00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:14.480 Well, well, I'll definitely have to check it out. I 605 00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:16.920 guess it's a long list. I have so many recommendations 606 00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:17.359 that come in. 607 00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:19.880 A yeah, but they're not important. They're really not important. 608 00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:23.319 My recommendations. What's important? Sir, Yes, sir, I I captain. 609 00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:26.440 I'm doing well. I got a lot to tell you 610 00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:28.400 to know. Okay, go go okay. 611 00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:32.960 So Apple, right, they just crossed the five trillion dollar line, Walter, 612 00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:35.400 Who I mean, that's a lot of cheese, right, that's 613 00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:37.400 a lot of do rey me right, just let that 614 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:40.160 sink in five trillion right. If Apple wore a country, 615 00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:44.839 that kind of economic firepower would put it in the 616 00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:47.920 same class as the world's top ten economies. And here 617 00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:50.759 we are, I have my Apple phone. It'd stand shoulder 618 00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:55.519 and shoulder with Germany, India, UK and GDP. And it's 619 00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:58.680 not just a company, it's a shadow country with a 620 00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.400 logo instead of a flag. There you go, the Apple 621 00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:04.000 on the back of your phone. And how does a 622 00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:08.639 country like that grow? This is what everybody needs to 623 00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:12.039 know tonight. It's a it's a conspiracy, but it's real. 624 00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:15.559 They don't do it just by selling phones, but by 625 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:19.760 actually slowing your phone down, Walter, pushing you into the 626 00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:23.719 next must have upgrade and calling it battery management. So 627 00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:27.719 back with the iPhone six and the sixes era, which is, 628 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.840 you know, feels like eons ago with the cycling. I 629 00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.360 think about thirteen years ago. This was your sidekick it. 630 00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:37.960 You know, I'm taking pictures in New Mexico, sunsets, my 631 00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:41.320 kids first steps, all the memes, all that stuff out there. 632 00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:46.000 Then one random Tuesday, my phone starting to act like 633 00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:49.000 it had like a smoking habit, you know, three packs 634 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:52.639 a day. It's dragging, the battery collapses and everything feels 635 00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.880 like it's moving like wet concrete. And I didn't change 636 00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:59.320 the phone, did right? Then Apple swoops in with what 637 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:03.480 they call a It gives us a iOS ten dot ten, 638 00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:06.599 dot five or whatever. The boring little update It says, 639 00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:09.920 we will update once your past fifty percent, improve power 640 00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:14.079 management during peak workloads to avoid unexpected shutdowns. Right, they 641 00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:19.199 tell you this sounds completely innocuous, harmless. Right, So translation 642 00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:24.960 from corporate speak Apple jobs, you know, Tim Cook all 643 00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:27.880 that to English. We're going to slow your phone down 644 00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.519 and hope that you blame it on the battery, not us. 645 00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:34.119 And they install a governor in the engine like it's 646 00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:36.599 like slowing down your car and never even tell the driver. 647 00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:40.599 So independent testers start like poking around, They run benchmarks. 648 00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:44.079 They you know suddenly, you know, try to figure it 649 00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.880 all out. And older iPhones, especially, you know, the ones 650 00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:49.239 I was telling you about the six were throttled by 651 00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.920 software once the battery ages, right, slows it down, and like, 652 00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:55.960 why can't get anything done with this thing? So the 653 00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:58.840 Internet slaps this name on it and they call it 654 00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:02.079 battery gate back in the day. All right, it's not 655 00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:05.320 a bug, not a glitch, not a feature. It is 656 00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:08.320 just something. It makes you feel like you need to 657 00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:11.039 upgrade your phone because it's dying, and I got to 658 00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:13.039 go back to the Apple store. So it's a five 659 00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:16.400 trillion dollar company. They get caught and they launch in 660 00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:19.760 this you know, tech giant apology tour way back in 661 00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:24.639 twenty seventeen, and they admit that they deliberately slowed down 662 00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:27.800 older phones six, seven, eight and all the way through 663 00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:30.639 once the batteries were chemically aged. They called it. But 664 00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:33.360 don't worry, it's all out of love, and we've got 665 00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:35.079 to make sure that you're taking care of They did 666 00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:38.199 it to prolong the life of your device. And then 667 00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:41.760 they even you know, dropped you know, some battery credits 668 00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:44.440 towards you. They give you like seventy nine bucks. These 669 00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:46.559 things are expensive by the way, you know, you know 670 00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:50.719 where they're made in China. So they admit it, Walter, 671 00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:52.840 that they slowed down your phone, and they swear they 672 00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:56.119 would never and never do it again. They would never 673 00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:59.199 share it in the battery life of any Apple product 674 00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:02.760 or degrade your experience or anything that is going to 675 00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:06.880 degrade you know, your opinion of Apple. Well, guess what 676 00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:07.360 they're doing. 677 00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:08.480 Same thing. 678 00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:13.079 This is plan exactly planned, obsolescens. This is like you know, 679 00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:16.199 your dad telling you, like, I'm not tracking in your car, 680 00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:19.320 not tracking, Yeah, and he's slowing you down. They're slowing 681 00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.360 your phone. They said they would never do it again. 682 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:24.519 And how do you think they've gone from two to 683 00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:26.840 three to four to five trillion dollars? They did it 684 00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:30.920 to prolong the life right now, they didn't. Their thing 685 00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:33.960 is they're driving the bottom line. They are selling more 686 00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:38.000 phones now than ever. So the legal system wasn't quite 687 00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:40.599 as forgiving. They give them a pittance, five trillion against 688 00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:43.280 five hundred million. They settle the class action lawsuit in 689 00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:47.360 all this, and the regulators oversawved the same pattern. In Europe, 690 00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:51.239 same thing. Watchdogs included Apple had engaged in deceptive commercial 691 00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:54.880 practices biomission because they didn't adequately inform you or me 692 00:37:55.039 --> 00:37:57.360 or anybody else who has an Apple phone that installing 693 00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:00.599 those updates could actually slow down the phones. In the UK, 694 00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:03.639 they had a collective lawsuit over the iPhone seven eight 695 00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:07.679 and the related models, accusing Apple of intentionally thralling devices 696 00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:11.159 without telling them. Actually, what's happening all sorts of cords 697 00:38:11.159 --> 00:38:14.480 throughout the world, and regulars say you left out important 698 00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:18.000 details to the consumer. So from our perspective, you know, 699 00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:22.320 here's how this strategy feels. Right, Your iPhone, six, seven, eight, 700 00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:24.840 whatever is fine, and then all of a sudden you 701 00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:29.239 stall a routine update app apps that you have on there. 702 00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:33.480 They start crawling, they're slowing down. Their phone's quieter, their 703 00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:36.639 speaker's not working. You weren't given any sort of warning 704 00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:38.880 about this. It's just that you were upgrading your experience 705 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:42.440 and you experience this sort of pain that prevents you 706 00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:44.760 from being able to use your phone the way that 707 00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:47.480 you liked it when you first bought it. So then 708 00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:50.519 ultimately you end up at the store. So tech writers 709 00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:52.480 are now jumping in on this and they're calling the 710 00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:57.280 systemic obsolescence. They're almost expecting it now to the point 711 00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:00.000 where you're not even messing with it. They're not smashed 712 00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.119 in their old phones. You're trading it in and then 713 00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:04.480 they you know whatever, I can get a little bit 714 00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:08.119 of a credit, and you've been brought into all of 715 00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:11.440 this and it's ultimately just driving the bottom line. Like 716 00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:14.199 they have more cash on hand. Get this stat, Walter, 717 00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:20.480 Apple has more cash on hand than the United States government. 718 00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:24.559 I believe that, yes, how many trillion did you say? 719 00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:31.960 Five trillion dollars? From our angle, this is like insulting, right. 720 00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:35.119 Their message is like, we change how your phone runs 721 00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:37.719 because we know what's best for you, and they insist 722 00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:40.239 they never degrade the user experience to drive any sort 723 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:42.960 of upgrades. But the real world effect on me, you 724 00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.440 and millions of other people, billions of other people around 725 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:47.920 the world thinking their phones are on their last legs 726 00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:50.760 and heading to the checkout line and they get fined 727 00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:53.679 a pittance and they have some sort of settlement. But 728 00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:58.679 this is where I'm telling you. Our phones, the way 729 00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:01.400 that power works, in the way that they can actually 730 00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:04.159 make more and more and more money, Like we could 731 00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:06.719 be using our phone six seven, eight, nine, ten years. 732 00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:09.159 There's nothing changing. It's the same thing other than the 733 00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:13.199 chips at. Apple has the economic heft, if you will, 734 00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:18.000 of a top five country around the world, five trillion 735 00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:21.559 dollar market cap. Okay, it can ship software updates on 736 00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:24.800 hundreds of millions of devices, change their behavior overnight, no 737 00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:27.760 vote by you or me, there's no debate about it, 738 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.559 just just a line and the release note, you know, 739 00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:32.800 after the fact, and some tech writers and everybody else 740 00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:36.199 kind of you know, saying I've got to upgrade my iPhone. 741 00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:38.719 So yeah, they paid hundreds of millions dollars to subtle 742 00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:42.119 these lawsuits, but it means nothing. It's incidentalllion dollars. No, 743 00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:46.039 and planned obsolescence is nothing new. It's how General Motor's 744 00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:49.239 got to be rich before Japanese cars said well, wait 745 00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:52.199 a minute, we can make these cars still last to 746 00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:54.400 three hundred thousand miles. And they're all, ohh and they 747 00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:57.119 used to only last for fifty thousand miles at the most. 748 00:40:57.960 --> 00:40:58.079 Uh. 749 00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:03.920 Planned appsolescence is a great American tradition. The other thing 750 00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:06.599 that's amazing about them having trillions of dollars in the 751 00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:11.079 bank is they never go on sale. Apple products never 752 00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:15.679 go on sale. They're never discounted. If a retailer discounts 753 00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:20.239 an apple product. They lose the right to sell apple products. 754 00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:23.800 Walter, I love talking to you. That's the next thing 755 00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:25.320 that was going to come out of my mouth was 756 00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:29.039 you're right. There is never any sort of promotion as 757 00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:32.519 driving the bottom line. It's like, look at the five 758 00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:35.119 new colors of the new laptop. Look at the three 759 00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:37.559 new colors of the new iPhone. Look at they're just 760 00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:43.159 selling you like bells and whistles that have no technological prowess. 761 00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:46.480 They are just selling you like a new style, like 762 00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:47.559 a new color. 763 00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:52.440 Or new orange yep or orange. Yeah, oh wow, it's orange. 764 00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:55.800 It's one thousand dollars if you want the orange. And 765 00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:59.360 that means nobody is looking at how ugly the orange is. 766 00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:07.039 And they since Steve Jobs died, there's been no innovative product. 767 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:09.599 Now it's still the same iPhone. I was the first 768 00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:11.920 in line back in two thousand and seven, when they 769 00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:14.199 rolled it off the line and I picked it up, 770 00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:16.719 I switched off for my tree. Do you remember the Trio, 771 00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:20.639 this device it was like a sort of akin to 772 00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:24.360 the U what is that that thing? The BlackBerry whatever 773 00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:26.800 whatever they had you know back then, and then before 774 00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:28.639 that it was the Palm Pilot. Do you remember the 775 00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:29.679 Palm Pilot. 776 00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:33.360 That wasn't theirs, but the Merlin was theirs. That was 777 00:42:33.400 --> 00:42:35.079 the handheld that they So. 778 00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:38.960 There is a great movie about that. It's called I 779 00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:41.719 don't know what it is, something Genius, and it talks 780 00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:45.119 about all these guys that were just cramming like all 781 00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:48.440 these ideas and they failed, right, and they failed over 782 00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:51.679 and over again until finally Steve Jobs released the iPhone 783 00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:55.360 and it's really revolutionized everything. But they don't deserve to 784 00:42:55.400 --> 00:42:58.199 be a three, four or five trillion dollar company. I mean, 785 00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.840 you look at the market caps of these these these 786 00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:03.559 you know companies, and you look at where the stock 787 00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:06.400 market is, and you look at the indexing that's going on. 788 00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:09.760 I mean your four oh one k people. You guys 789 00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:12.800 are funding all this stuff over and over and over again. 790 00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:15.320 And it's like, yeah, the AI is good, and I'm 791 00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:17.719 glad that all the AI companies are American. In fact, 792 00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:21.760 Hudloaw did a great little job on that. I love Larry. 793 00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:24.079 I think he does a great job on Saturday Mornings 794 00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:27.599 and he revamps everything. But Larry was talking about this like, yeah, 795 00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:30.159 it's good because these are all American companies and we 796 00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:33.159 do have to you know, beat the Chinese and beat 797 00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:35.920 these other countries, and we're glad it's all here. But 798 00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:38.920 at what cost? I mean, it's expensive. 799 00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:43.480 I had a friend who was rich and when the 800 00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:47.039 iPhone came out and there were people in line outside 801 00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:53.000 of iPhone stores. It was you know, six hour six, 802 00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:57.679 you know, full day lines. Sure, and I an iPhone 803 00:43:57.679 --> 00:43:59.480 shows up in my office. He gave me one as 804 00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:03.199 a gift and I said, I can't believe that you 805 00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:05.880 that you made somebody who works for you to stand 806 00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:09.440 in that line. And he said, I paid somebody to 807 00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:13.039 stand in that line. So it's a very different worldview 808 00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:15.840 that some of us have. All Right, Sure, there's the 809 00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:19.159 legendary Eddie Aragon. What's the name of your radio station. 810 00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:23.079 It is the rockof Talk Rockoftalk dot Com AM sixteen 811 00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:25.559 hundred k I v A and Albuquerque. And I want 812 00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:28.639 to change my name just for you, Walter. You know, 813 00:44:28.719 --> 00:44:30.519 I get all sorts of mail that comes in from 814 00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:34.280 the US Postal Service and it's always like miss you 815 00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:36.760 know written. A lot of people, you know, you know, 816 00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:39.039 say different things about my name is pronounced it whatever, 817 00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:43.039 but ed Dragon, Eddie Dragon because they change the A 818 00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.239 to a D. There's my name. 819 00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:48.440 Say that again, because now I'm confused. 820 00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:51.760 Change the A instead of a R, A G O 821 00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:54.039 N my last name. Just change the A to a 822 00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:57.760 D because it looks like a D anyway, just Ed Dragon, 823 00:44:57.880 --> 00:44:58.280 There you go. 824 00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:00.920 That makes you cool. You think that's going to make 825 00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:01.360 you cool? 826 00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:02.320 I don't know. 827 00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:05.159 I think so. All right, Ed Dragon, thank you very 828 00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:07.760 much for being on the other side of Midnight with 829 00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:13.599 Walter Sterling on the Red Apple Audio Networks. There's Andrew 830 00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:17.440 in New Jersey. Welcome? Is it in New Jersey? 831 00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:17.679 Yeah? 832 00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:20.880 See, the computer screen is very far away from me 833 00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:24.239 because there are three computer screens here, none of them 834 00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:29.320 are anywhere near me. What happened to Andrew? Hello? Okay, 835 00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:32.920 good he did not eight hundred eight four eight nine 836 00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:35.280 two two two. Eight hundred eight four eight nine two 837 00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:38.079 two two. I was looking forward to talking to Andrew 838 00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:41.719 because it was intriguing what he was wanted to talk about. 839 00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:43.800 But let me tell you what I let me share 840 00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:47.639 with you the traumatic evening and day I had today. 841 00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:51.440 So here's my traumatic day. All luxury problems, mind you. 842 00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:56.039 I'm spending a weekend, well, spending a week at my 843 00:45:56.119 --> 00:46:01.800 sister in law's apartment, and I'm there alone, and then 844 00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:06.519 yesterday I get informed. I get the notification, the official 845 00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:10.280 notification that there will be two other people staying there 846 00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:13.920 with me. That never happens. These are distant, vague relatives 847 00:46:13.920 --> 00:46:16.960 who I haven't heard or seen in twenty five years. 848 00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:22.000 No exaggerations, twenty five years. And I'm like, well, when 849 00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:26.239 are they coming here? They said, well, yesterday, so I'm 850 00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:31.360 ready to see them yesterday. And then I figure they're 851 00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:36.480 there big apartment. I do things. And then today four 852 00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:40.800 in the afternoon, I get a text saying they're arriving today. 853 00:46:41.079 --> 00:46:43.239 I said, I thought they were arriving yesterday. Listen to 854 00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:47.159 this story. No, no, they're arriving today, and they're going 855 00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:50.599 to stay in the bedroom. You're staying in What are 856 00:46:50.599 --> 00:46:53.719 you talking about. I've already unpacked, I've already slept in 857 00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:56.400 the bed. Oh yeah, we need you to make the bed. 858 00:46:57.039 --> 00:47:00.639 What mean you need me to make the bed. I 859 00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:03.480 I'm Walter Sterling. I don't make beds. I do talk shows. 860 00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:06.559 They forgot who I was, so right there there was trouble. 861 00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:10.760 They forgot who I was. And they'll be arriving soon 862 00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:14.280 and you have to make the bed and you have 863 00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:16.679 to sleep in a different room. They're going to sleep 864 00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:18.559 in the room you're in, But you told me it 865 00:47:18.599 --> 00:47:22.760 was first divs whoever got there first. That's the room 866 00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:25.239 you get and you keep because I asked you which 867 00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:28.760 room should I be in? No, No, I told you that. Yeah. 868 00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:31.480 And I'm like, now I'm getting mad because I have 869 00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:33.880 to move stuff. You know, I got to move stuff. 870 00:47:33.920 --> 00:47:37.960 And I was happy to be alone and to be happy, 871 00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:41.679 and to have to move stuff very dramatic. It's very 872 00:47:41.719 --> 00:47:47.880 difficult for me to have to move stuff. They show 873 00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:53.440 up and I'm not happy. And worse than that, Neither 874 00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:56.480 my wife nor my sister in law tells me I 875 00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:59.760 have to do this. They had my middle daughter tell 876 00:47:59.800 --> 00:48:02.920 me they're on vacation somewhere. I don't know where. They 877 00:48:03.039 --> 00:48:05.320 make The middle daughter tell me this, and I said 878 00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:08.280 to her, how did you get stuck having to tell 879 00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:10.960 me this? Why are you stuck having to tell me this? 880 00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:14.400 Why weren't either of them brave enough to tell me this. 881 00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:22.360 I got into a spiritual place and I left the room. 882 00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.039 I went into the other bedroom, which, oh, by the way, 883 00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:27.440 is a laundry room. Not only is there a bed, 884 00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:30.480 but there's a washer dryer. Any sheets that may have 885 00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:33.000 come up. I could have dealt with it immediately, because 886 00:48:33.039 --> 00:48:39.280 now I'm in the laundry room. Then I start getting 887 00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:43.519 texts that my wife's annoyed at me for not being 888 00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:47.199 gracious about this. You me be gracious? Now, why am 889 00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:49.079 I supposed to be gracious about having to make a 890 00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:54.000 bed move? Everything be unsettled? Clearly it has rattled me 891 00:48:54.079 --> 00:48:58.119 to this moment. How would you have handled it? My 892 00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:02.440 poor medium daughter had to deal with this. My sister 893 00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:05.960 in law thought it was all funny. She wasn't annoyed. 894 00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:09.679 My daughter forgave me. She wasn't annoyed. My wife's still annoyed. 895 00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:14.079 She didn't have to do anything. She forgot to tell me, 896 00:49:14.239 --> 00:49:17.880 she forgot to ask Andrew Welcome to the other side 897 00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:18.440 of midnight. 898 00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:22.000 Hey, hey, hey, Walter, how you doing? 899 00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:23.079 Yes, what's up? 900 00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:27.960 I don't know. You're talking about communication and relationships, and 901 00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:29.320 I can definitely relate. 902 00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:29.800 You know. 903 00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:33.079 The funny thing is, I've had it both ways, and 904 00:49:33.119 --> 00:49:36.719 you know, sometimes like I had a girlfriend, we were 905 00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:40.679 together for four years. We lived together, we had disagreements, 906 00:49:41.079 --> 00:49:44.320 like we never fought, like we treated each other with 907 00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:48.159 absolute respect. We understood each other very well and we 908 00:49:48.519 --> 00:49:51.559 talked about things. We always talked about things. I remember 909 00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:53.320 when I went to look for our first apartment in 910 00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:55.440 San Francisco, I got along really well with this guy 911 00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:58.320 that was rinting out his basement apartment. But he's like, look, 912 00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:01.199 I like you a lot, but have your girlfriends and 913 00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:03.000 I know you guys are gonna fight. And I was like, no, 914 00:50:03.079 --> 00:50:06.239 we really don't. What happened ultimately is the thing is 915 00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:10.360 I wasn't really like she was a best friend, not 916 00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:12.079 like you know what I mean, we weren't really in 917 00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:15.880 love ultimately, and like I just I craved the you know, 918 00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:19.199 the madness of most of the rest of my relationships, 919 00:50:20.039 --> 00:50:21.719 and it's just I don't know, that's the one time 920 00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:24.239 I actually had that, And I mean I did value it, 921 00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:26.559 but it just did didn't do it for me. One 922 00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:29.760 thing I know I'll say about women, and this is absolute. 923 00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:31.599 I hope no one's offended by it. But I've just 924 00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:35.159 seen this is that men tend to deal with when 925 00:50:35.159 --> 00:50:38.280 we communicate with each other, like it's with fact based 926 00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:43.599 regarded what happens would happen. Women generally they remember and 927 00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:47.079 hear what they feel, like the emotional impact of what 928 00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:49.679 you say and that's why they'll say. That's why they'll 929 00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:51.719 see you said I looked fat in this or something, 930 00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:55.440 because it's how they felt that. That's one thing I've learned. 931 00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:00.800 You lived with somebody for how many years? 932 00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:05.880 Well that one time four years really together, but. 933 00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:08.920 You weren't You weren't in love with her. 934 00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:15.280 I loved her very much, very very much. She just 935 00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:18.320 like we moved to San Francisco together from here and 936 00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:21.000 she didn't take to it the way I did. 937 00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:24.679 Well, it's a terrible place. It's an awful place to live. 938 00:51:26.159 --> 00:51:28.119 Well, you know, it's changed a lot. I gotta say 939 00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:28.920 it's worse. 940 00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:29.159 Two. 941 00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:32.599 Yeah, you know people would say that and say that. 942 00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:35.159 You know, people always sensational, and then one day is like, 943 00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:36.320 you know, I got to check this out. Let me 944 00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:39.280 see this homeless mister. San Francisco. It's like, oh my god, 945 00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:41.280 really crazy right. 946 00:51:41.320 --> 00:51:44.679 Well, their main shopping area is completely closed now. Their 947 00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:47.800 Union Square main shopping area, which had the most prestigious 948 00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:53.920 stores in America, they're all boarded up. Really, Yeah, all 949 00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:57.639 of those stores that were on Union Square are boarded up. 950 00:51:58.639 --> 00:51:59.000 Wow. 951 00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:01.800 Square was like a run and I didn't go there much. 952 00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:02.280 What is it like? 953 00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:06.320 The crazy homeless encampment with knife bights. Yes, people get 954 00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:06.960 in Shanghai. 955 00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:11.400 Yeah, yeah, that was funny. Got it, Andrew, That's a 956 00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:14.199 good call. I appreciate everything that you just told me. 957 00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:17.679 Eight hundred and eight four eight nine two two two. 958 00:52:17.719 --> 00:52:24.440 You and I are on the air in Chicago on WGN. 959 00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:28.280 There's a clip called trigger Men, and I want you 960 00:52:28.360 --> 00:52:30.400 to play that next. When I point to you, do 961 00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:37.039 you hear me? Okay? You and I are triggered differently 962 00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:43.559 than women. And this is a pretty good example. Men 963 00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:50.760 don't cheat for sex. Men cheat for softness. Men don't 964 00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:54.800 cheat for sex, Believe it or not. What they cheat 965 00:52:54.840 --> 00:53:01.159 for is what she just said, for respect and kindness. 966 00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:06.360 Because a guy's day is a little different than many 967 00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:10.199 women realize. A guy's day is all hardness. Got to 968 00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:11.840 be tough at work. You have to be tough on 969 00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:14.800 the playing field. You have to be tough physically, depending 970 00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:17.960 on your job. I saw an amazing job tonight. And 971 00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:21.679 then when a guy comes home after that day where 972 00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:25.920 he has to make sure that he brings home the goods, 973 00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:29.880 he wants somebody to say, how are you doing? And 974 00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:32.280 mean it. He wants somebody to say, what can I do? 975 00:53:32.360 --> 00:53:36.519 To make you comfortable. This is not this is not 976 00:53:36.599 --> 00:53:40.920 being less than, it's being an equal. This is the difference. 977 00:53:41.519 --> 00:53:45.079 The difference is that most guys, when they come home 978 00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:51.239 or when they're with you, they want you to be 979 00:53:51.400 --> 00:53:54.880 charming and kind and sweet. And if he crosses a 980 00:53:54.920 --> 00:53:57.280 boundary in terms of what your needs are, you will 981 00:53:57.599 --> 00:54:00.559 say them, but you will express it inside your way 982 00:54:01.400 --> 00:54:05.679 that he wants to buy in. You will in effect sell. 983 00:54:06.599 --> 00:54:10.119 In effect you'll sell eight hundred eight four eight nine 984 00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:12.239 two to two two eight hundred eighty four eight nine 985 00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:15.480 two two two. This is what keeps us up at night. 986 00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:18.480 This is what we take to work with us, isn't it. 987 00:54:18.760 --> 00:54:20.599 I have to tell you about this guy so all 988 00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:23.599 working today? Oh my gosh. I was walking down a 989 00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:28.039 street and I was passing by a loading dock of 990 00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:32.119 a hotel. And it's a big hotel, probably five hundred 991 00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:35.039 room hotel. Got I hate the way this chuir set 992 00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:39.840 up five hundred room hotel and five hundred room hotel. 993 00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:42.320 Think about the garbage of a five hundred room hotel 994 00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:45.280 that has a restaurant in it and room service in it, 995 00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:47.639 and five hundred at least five hundred people staying in 996 00:54:47.719 --> 00:54:50.760 this hotel. And now the back the bowels of this 997 00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:54.519 hotel is open, and it's open to where the garbage 998 00:54:54.519 --> 00:54:59.039 trucks are going to come right about now. But usually 999 00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:02.760 you don't see the guard bridge the trash docks. So 1000 00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:04.840 now we're looking at the trash docks at the back 1001 00:55:04.840 --> 00:55:08.360 of a hotel. No exaggeration, my friend, there were at 1002 00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:13.480 least two hundred plastic bags of trash. And they weren't 1003 00:55:13.480 --> 00:55:15.800 the cute little ones that you have in your kitchen. 1004 00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:19.920 These were enormous. These were enormous bags. These had to 1005 00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:24.559 be ten feet across, yes, about ten feet across. And 1006 00:55:24.599 --> 00:55:28.800 there's one guy taking these bags from the loading dock 1007 00:55:29.039 --> 00:55:32.760 and putting them on the curb. One guy. Maybe there 1008 00:55:32.760 --> 00:55:35.800 are more guys inside, but I'm only seeing one guy, 1009 00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:40.280 and he's taken these enormous bags of garbage and bringing 1010 00:55:40.320 --> 00:55:44.559 them to the curb. And I took a mental picture 1011 00:55:44.599 --> 00:55:47.199 of that. You've probably done that sometimes when you've seen 1012 00:55:47.239 --> 00:55:50.440 something you think is important. There's a mental picture I have. 1013 00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:55.360 Any time I think that I have any problems, I've 1014 00:55:55.360 --> 00:55:59.280 got to remember this guy who is I swear he's 1015 00:55:59.280 --> 00:56:03.360 loading two hundred of these garbage bags. But think about it. 1016 00:56:03.400 --> 00:56:06.840 Every hotel has that guy, and you and I are 1017 00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:10.280 working right now. This is the great shift. This is 1018 00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:13.599 when we do the most important work in any city. 1019 00:56:14.239 --> 00:56:18.679 We keep it functioning. The busiest time of day is 1020 00:56:18.920 --> 00:56:22.039 at an airport is right now. This is the busiest 1021 00:56:22.039 --> 00:56:24.639 time of day at an airport because this is when 1022 00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:30.159 the great cleaning crews are cleaning. Consider how many people 1023 00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:32.480 are walking through an airport at any given time. Just 1024 00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:39.400 think about that and you'll realize that there's a crew 1025 00:56:39.480 --> 00:56:43.400 working right now to keep it clean. Edward Jones, Do 1026 00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:47.760 you have Edward Jones? Run down? Says Edward Jones. Do 1027 00:56:47.800 --> 00:56:56.000 you have him? Did he call in? 1028 00:56:58.400 --> 00:56:58.519 So? 1029 00:56:58.719 --> 00:57:00.280 I have to figure out how to get at you 1030 00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:03.119 a phone number while I'm on the air. Is that 1031 00:57:03.159 --> 00:57:05.920 what you're telling me? How is that supposed to work? 1032 00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:07.920 One of you want to run in here and get 1033 00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:12.760 it from me. I don't fight over it, but either 1034 00:57:12.800 --> 00:57:21.599 one of you is okay. You don't want to know. 1035 00:57:21.840 --> 00:57:25.480 You just don't want to know. Remember I was telling 1036 00:57:25.480 --> 00:57:29.960 you about that guy who showed me I have no 1037 00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:33.519 problems at work right now. He's very valuable to me. Well, 1038 00:57:33.559 --> 00:57:35.960 on one second, I want you to hear from Edward 1039 00:57:36.039 --> 00:57:41.039 Jones who has some pretty good information for us. I'm 1040 00:57:41.039 --> 00:57:42.639 going to write down this phone number. 1041 00:57:42.679 --> 00:57:45.800 I can't say it, can I I'm on the air. 1042 00:57:46.639 --> 00:57:51.159 I can't say his phone number on the air. My 1043 00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:53.960 friend here is getting ready to write down a phone number, 1044 00:57:54.400 --> 00:57:57.920 which I would have to say on the air, but 1045 00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:00.679 I'm not going to say on the air. Thank you 1046 00:58:00.800 --> 00:58:13.519 very much. It's Edward Jones. Welcome to the other side 1047 00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:14.079 of midnight. 1048 00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:17.800 Good morning, Walter. Great to be with you. 1049 00:58:18.360 --> 00:58:21.880 Thank you for spending some time with us tonight. Edward 1050 00:58:22.400 --> 00:58:28.239 is an expert in military intelligence. He's a former marine. 1051 00:58:28.960 --> 00:58:32.480 I shouldn't say that all marines are always marines. They're 1052 00:58:32.519 --> 00:58:35.639 always marines, and they all know each other too, which 1053 00:58:35.679 --> 00:58:41.159 is particularly fascinating. Ed you have some perspective on our 1054 00:58:41.320 --> 00:58:43.679 situation in the Middle East and where you think it's 1055 00:58:43.719 --> 00:58:46.159 going and what we should be aware of, and please 1056 00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:47.360 go ahead. Edward Jones. 1057 00:58:48.679 --> 00:58:51.480 Yeah, thanks Walter, and yeah for the shout out. You know, 1058 00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:55.519 what's a marine, always a marine. Let's see, well, you know, 1059 00:58:56.400 --> 00:59:02.679 for President Trump again, you know, threatened really dire consequences 1060 00:59:03.320 --> 00:59:08.119 there forward the end of last week and threatening to 1061 00:59:08.239 --> 00:59:13.519 attack power grids and bridges, water supplies, things of this 1062 00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:17.800 nature and and he held off again. You know, we've 1063 00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:20.599 had this is the sixth month, by the way, we 1064 00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:24.559 just started our sixth month in this this mess over 1065 00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:30.880 there in Iran, and there have been three three combat 1066 00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:34.760 actions going on and three three seafires. So it's been 1067 00:59:35.400 --> 00:59:38.760 the seesaw for the last five going to six months. 1068 00:59:39.239 --> 00:59:45.320 And President Trump pulled back from his threats. My understanding 1069 00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:49.159 is that I know for a factor that he had 1070 00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:53.760 a meeting with his advisors, the closest advisors I presume 1071 00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:59.119 that would be General Kine and perhaps Admiral Cooper who 1072 00:59:59.239 --> 01:00:03.079 runs Syncom UH and UH and his White House team 1073 01:00:03.880 --> 01:00:07.000 on Friday at Camp David and UH, and they talked 1074 01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:08.920 to him out of it that they just basically said, 1075 01:00:09.119 --> 01:00:11.760 And he also had been getting phone calls from from 1076 01:00:11.800 --> 01:00:16.679 Saudi Arabia and golf partners down there saying, you know 1077 01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:20.320 a couple of things. One is that you know our 1078 01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:27.679 missile interceptors they're called these these particularly the Patriots and 1079 01:00:27.719 --> 01:00:34.000 the fads, which are really effective against the ballistic missiles, hypersonic, 1080 01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:38.400 very high speed ballistic missiles that come in and UH 1081 01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:41.360 and also the high altitude the FADS go after the 1082 01:00:41.679 --> 01:00:44.760 ones that are really up there, but they're depleting those 1083 01:00:44.760 --> 01:00:48.440 stocks and they're really in demand. You know, we can see, 1084 01:00:48.679 --> 01:00:50.880 you know, what's happening in Ukraine, for. 1085 01:00:50.840 --> 01:00:53.559 Example, but what what's going to happen here? 1086 01:00:54.639 --> 01:00:57.039 What's going to happen is uh, the way I see it, 1087 01:00:57.079 --> 01:01:00.000 I think we're just gonna be going back and forth 1088 01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:05.559 worth in this I for eye business. Trump made an 1089 01:01:05.599 --> 01:01:13.239 announcement yesterday. He's saying that negotiations will begin on Monday 1090 01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:18.360 afternoon in Tehran. But I'm sorry, and we don't know 1091 01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:20.239 where they'll be. But he said they're going to be 1092 01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:24.079 begin Monday afternoon. But I don't see any movement of 1093 01:01:24.119 --> 01:01:32.840 the negotiators advance, Woodcoff, and Kushner. They're not moving. So 1094 01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:36.280 I don't know what he means by negotiations. There. There's 1095 01:01:36.280 --> 01:01:40.000 two kinds of negotiations. There's the direct ones that we 1096 01:01:40.039 --> 01:01:42.119 saw in Switzerland, which I thought got off to a 1097 01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:45.719 pretty good start in June there in middle of June, 1098 01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:50.000 but a week or two later they were running has 1099 01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:52.800 walked away from the table. But the bed being said, 1100 01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:56.079 you know, where are the negotiations. I don't see them 1101 01:01:56.159 --> 01:02:01.159 right now. But I do see the negotiations between Iran 1102 01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:04.519 and their partner, their closest ally, their only ally really 1103 01:02:04.519 --> 01:02:07.039 in the Gulf, which is Oman, which uns on the 1104 01:02:07.039 --> 01:02:10.079 other side of the street, and they're negotiating, been negotiating 1105 01:02:10.119 --> 01:02:13.119 for the last few weeks. They're still in negotiations about 1106 01:02:13.119 --> 01:02:17.840 how to control and administer the strait i e. Chrudge tolls. 1107 01:02:18.280 --> 01:02:22.159 So I'm just really confused right now, Welder. You know, 1108 01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:26.639 I started this pretty pretty closely. But that's why I say, 1109 01:02:26.639 --> 01:02:29.920 this thing right now is really really stuck. And I'm 1110 01:02:29.960 --> 01:02:31.840 not I don't I don't think it's really going to 1111 01:02:31.880 --> 01:02:34.440 progress very, very far beyond where it is. 1112 01:02:35.320 --> 01:02:39.079 All right, Edward Jones, you don't sound optimistic. 1113 01:02:41.039 --> 01:02:44.239 Right now. No, and I've got other reasons for that 1114 01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:45.719 as well. I don't know how much time we have 1115 01:02:45.800 --> 01:02:48.679 this morning, but then but anyway, Yeah, that's that's where 1116 01:02:48.679 --> 01:02:52.239 i'm right now. I'm watching what what Trump said, you know, 1117 01:02:52.559 --> 01:02:55.800 the negotiations on it, and he's changed his mind so 1118 01:02:55.880 --> 01:03:00.559 many times that that's a that's informed in affected the 1119 01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:04.079 Iranian strategy, which I've said in the very very beginning, 1120 01:03:04.079 --> 01:03:06.559 Well do you remember this early on in the early days, 1121 01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:11.199 their goal is survival. They're showing the world they've showed 1122 01:03:11.199 --> 01:03:14.119 the world now for almost six months that they've survived 1123 01:03:14.199 --> 01:03:17.559 against the Great Satan, the largest power in the world, 1124 01:03:17.559 --> 01:03:22.400 the US and the Israelis. The Little Satan is a clone, 1125 01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:24.960 and they're going to keep doing this. They're gonna keep 1126 01:03:25.000 --> 01:03:30.840 taking risks. They exercised their strategy of what I call 1127 01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:36.719 strategic patients. They slow things down. Let's not focus on 1128 01:03:37.400 --> 01:03:41.079 the US negotiations. We've got the US at bay. We're 1129 01:03:41.119 --> 01:03:44.480 holding them at arm's length. We'll work with our friends. 1130 01:03:44.519 --> 01:03:48.159 The omanis to go to work on this straight plan. 1131 01:03:48.280 --> 01:03:52.639 So you know, it's really very very A lot of 1132 01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:56.840 stuff is happening. I feel sometimes, Walter, I'm watching a 1133 01:03:56.880 --> 01:04:01.840 FIFA Championship match with twelve teams on the field at 1134 01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:02.719 the same time. 1135 01:04:02.679 --> 01:04:06.719 Right, and unlike FIFA a sport, I don't understand. I 1136 01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:10.039 don't understand what's happening here, and I don't feel we're 1137 01:04:10.039 --> 01:04:14.159 making any progress. Edward Jones, I thank you for being 1138 01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:16.440 on the other side of midnight eight hundred and eight 1139 01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:19.400 four eight nine two two two. You and I are 1140 01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:24.599 talking to Heidi in the Bronx high Heidi, Yeah. 1141 01:04:24.679 --> 01:04:29.000 I just realized my phone charge is almost off anyway, Hi, Walter, 1142 01:04:29.159 --> 01:04:32.360 how are you. You were so you were so engaging 1143 01:04:32.480 --> 01:04:35.760 that one almost have no choice but to call because 1144 01:04:36.119 --> 01:04:39.440 what you talk about is so relatable to what we 1145 01:04:39.559 --> 01:04:42.880 all go through in life and different situation. But anyway, 1146 01:04:42.920 --> 01:04:45.000 a long story short, because I don't want to hold 1147 01:04:45.079 --> 01:04:49.159 up the phone line. When you talked about the ten 1148 01:04:49.199 --> 01:04:53.760 feet garbage bags one man loaded, I had a very 1149 01:04:53.800 --> 01:04:57.119 similar experience with that and the mental picture of that. 1150 01:04:57.559 --> 01:05:01.480 I had a very similar experienced last Friday night when 1151 01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:06.159 I took the New Jersey Transit bus after the Lincoln Tunnel. 1152 01:05:06.400 --> 01:05:11.199 Shortly before it goes into the terminal, they're doing construction 1153 01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:14.440 around I think it's tenth Avenue, I don't know exactly. 1154 01:05:14.960 --> 01:05:17.639 So the boss had to stop in the middle of 1155 01:05:17.719 --> 01:05:20.360 the night and the workers were, you know, with the 1156 01:05:20.400 --> 01:05:24.400 street lights, doing construction gear. I was at the front 1157 01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:27.159 of the bus and I saw this one man in 1158 01:05:27.239 --> 01:05:30.960 the orange gear running from one side to the other 1159 01:05:31.239 --> 01:05:34.039 moving things that the boss coulk go. And he worked 1160 01:05:34.119 --> 01:05:39.239 so hard. I never will forget that picture in my head, 1161 01:05:39.880 --> 01:05:44.199 the way it just told everything about that man, just 1162 01:05:44.239 --> 01:05:47.920 the way he was working very sincere, took his job 1163 01:05:48.079 --> 01:05:52.440 very seriously, and he went out of his way to 1164 01:05:52.519 --> 01:05:55.320 do his job. I never will forget this, and this 1165 01:05:55.559 --> 01:05:59.360 was one man doing this. I just when I heard 1166 01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:01.719 you say that, I felt like, oh my god, this 1167 01:06:01.880 --> 01:06:05.360 is a very similar incident, right. 1168 01:06:05.239 --> 01:06:08.119 And you're the same sort of person, Heidie. I'm sure 1169 01:06:08.119 --> 01:06:10.960 that you do what you have to do with seriousness 1170 01:06:11.039 --> 01:06:14.480 of intent, that you're thorough about it. And they're really 1171 01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:18.039 several types of workers. But to see a gentleman like 1172 01:06:18.280 --> 01:06:21.159 you saw, see one who I saw, and I think, 1173 01:06:22.159 --> 01:06:25.159 my friend, if you sit back and just think about 1174 01:06:25.199 --> 01:06:28.760 your day, we see people like that all day. They're 1175 01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:31.679 not the vice president, they're not in a fancy suit, 1176 01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:35.280 they don't get into an uber. They just get it done. 1177 01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:39.159 They just right, They just get it done. And I 1178 01:06:39.159 --> 01:06:41.320 bet you're like that too, Heidi, thank you very much 1179 01:06:41.320 --> 01:06:44.199 for the call. Thank you. Eight hundred eighty four sure, 1180 01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:46.840 eight hundred eighty four eight nine two two two eight 1181 01:06:46.920 --> 01:06:50.119 hundred eight four eight nine two two two. You and 1182 01:06:50.159 --> 01:06:54.280 I are talking about. What she's referring to is I 1183 01:06:54.320 --> 01:06:57.719 was walking down a street today and there were the 1184 01:06:57.800 --> 01:07:01.159 big garage door open onto the street that you usually 1185 01:07:01.199 --> 01:07:05.519 don't see huge garage doors. And there are the trash docks, 1186 01:07:05.599 --> 01:07:08.159 not the loading docks, the trash docks where all the 1187 01:07:08.760 --> 01:07:13.079 trash bags from a huge hotel were being taken down. 1188 01:07:13.719 --> 01:07:17.760 There were, no exaggeration, two three hundred of the biggest 1189 01:07:17.760 --> 01:07:20.559 trash bags I have ever seen. They had to be 1190 01:07:20.679 --> 01:07:25.400 ten feet wide circumference, whatever you call it, it's not 1191 01:07:25.480 --> 01:07:29.960 a math major, at least two hundred. And they had 1192 01:07:29.960 --> 01:07:33.480 to get from the loading dock to the curb about 1193 01:07:33.480 --> 01:07:38.039 a thirty foot walk. And there was one guy And 1194 01:07:38.119 --> 01:07:40.400 I'm watching a little while, I'm like, I don't see 1195 01:07:40.440 --> 01:07:43.840 another guy. This one guy was taking bag after bag 1196 01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:47.119 after bag and putting it on the curb on a 1197 01:07:47.199 --> 01:07:51.280 Sunday night. My hunches that there was no one else 1198 01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:53.320 schedule there to help him, and he had to get 1199 01:07:53.360 --> 01:07:56.559 it done in time for the garbage trucks to come 1200 01:07:56.599 --> 01:07:59.800 and pick it up. And I bet you he has 1201 01:07:59.840 --> 01:08:04.239 to do that every day because it's a hotel room 1202 01:08:04.400 --> 01:08:10.119 service rooms. But there's the power of the first shift. 1203 01:08:10.320 --> 01:08:13.559 There's the power of the great shift that you and 1204 01:08:13.639 --> 01:08:17.239 I are at a time of day where it's all task. 1205 01:08:18.119 --> 01:08:21.600 What you and I do is all task. We're not 1206 01:08:21.760 --> 01:08:26.000 asked for our ideas, we're not asked for how to 1207 01:08:26.039 --> 01:08:30.920 make this system better. We're asked to get it done 1208 01:08:31.199 --> 01:08:35.159 with you. Walter Sterling, The Other Side of Midnight from 1209 01:08:35.199 --> 01:08:40.239 the Red Apple Audio Networks eight hundred eight four eight 1210 01:08:40.479 --> 01:08:43.279 nine two two two. Eight hundred eight four eight nine 1211 01:08:43.359 --> 01:08:50.279 two two two. So today I faced a domestic challenge. 1212 01:08:50.600 --> 01:08:53.840 And the domestic challenge was very simple, staying at my 1213 01:08:54.000 --> 01:09:00.920 sister in law's apartment alone, plan to stay there alone, 1214 01:09:01.159 --> 01:09:04.359 and then I find out that two distant, vague relatives 1215 01:09:04.359 --> 01:09:07.720 were going to show up and I didn't know about it, 1216 01:09:08.079 --> 01:09:11.000 and that rattles me. But it got worse. I'd have 1217 01:09:11.079 --> 01:09:13.560 to move the room. I couldn't stay in the bedroom 1218 01:09:13.640 --> 01:09:16.000 that I'm in. That may not sound like a big 1219 01:09:16.039 --> 01:09:19.600 deal to you, but remember I sleep at unusual times 1220 01:09:20.119 --> 01:09:22.760 and I needed to be very cold, so the air 1221 01:09:22.800 --> 01:09:25.159 conditioner has to be just right. I am a diva 1222 01:09:25.399 --> 01:09:30.199 when it comes to sleeping a diva. These people show 1223 01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:34.279 up and I'm told I have to move to the 1224 01:09:34.319 --> 01:09:38.720 other room and make my bed. The making the bed 1225 01:09:38.760 --> 01:09:41.960 part was a problem. And then, rather than tell me herself, 1226 01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:44.479 my wife didn't tell me herself, my sister in law 1227 01:09:44.600 --> 01:09:48.079 didn't tell me herself. They asked my middle daughter to 1228 01:09:48.159 --> 01:09:51.439 tell me. The angel, the good one, the perfect one, 1229 01:09:51.640 --> 01:09:53.600 she had to tell me, said, how'd you get this job? 1230 01:09:53.880 --> 01:09:55.800 How did you get the job of telling me I'd 1231 01:09:55.840 --> 01:10:01.640 have to unsettle? Because I was all settled, and ultimately 1232 01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:04.399 I did move. I refuse to make the bed. I said, 1233 01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:06.479 I'm not going to make the bed. They can make 1234 01:10:06.520 --> 01:10:09.640 the bed, and I explained it to them in a 1235 01:10:09.680 --> 01:10:15.119 way that they were okay with it. And I have 1236 01:10:15.439 --> 01:10:18.800 I've apologized to my middle daughter because I was not 1237 01:10:18.880 --> 01:10:21.600 at my best. I was not at my worst. My 1238 01:10:21.720 --> 01:10:23.880 sister in law thought all of this was funny, so 1239 01:10:23.960 --> 01:10:26.720 she wasn't really annoyed. No one else would have mattered. 1240 01:10:27.319 --> 01:10:30.760 And my wife still hasn't forgiven me because what what? 1241 01:10:30.960 --> 01:10:36.560 Because I had to move? Eight hundred eight four eight 1242 01:10:36.680 --> 01:10:40.399 nine two two two. That's the challenge that men and 1243 01:10:40.479 --> 01:10:43.640 women who love each other react to the simplest things 1244 01:10:43.640 --> 01:10:47.479 so differently that you and I spend half of our 1245 01:10:47.520 --> 01:10:54.079 relationships just negotiating those reactions. Fred in New Jersey, Welcome 1246 01:10:54.119 --> 01:10:55.319 to the other side of Midnight. 1247 01:10:55.399 --> 01:11:00.239 Hi, Hello Walter, Hello friend, I need your help. 1248 01:11:00.520 --> 01:11:01.439 Oh you're in trouble. 1249 01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:05.479 A little bit ago you played I believe a woman 1250 01:11:05.720 --> 01:11:12.960 talking about disrespecting men. There's some commentary I need that. 1251 01:11:12.920 --> 01:11:17.560 You want to hear that? Here, let's play that again. 1252 01:11:19.600 --> 01:11:23.600 That would be labeled Oh, now you're asking a lot. 1253 01:11:23.640 --> 01:11:29.119 Hold on a second, Hold on a second. It's it's 1254 01:11:29.359 --> 01:11:31.600 you have no idea why this is hard. I have 1255 01:11:31.680 --> 01:11:34.960 no idea why it's hard either. Wait a second, do 1256 01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:37.880 do eight hundred and eight four eight nine to two two? 1257 01:11:37.960 --> 01:11:41.199 You and I can talk. We're talking about the challenge 1258 01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:44.720 of just doing what we have to do in our 1259 01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:47.840 personal relationships and then endless challenge. Did you find it? 1260 01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:53.960 Did you find it? I can't hear you. Yeah, I 1261 01:11:54.399 --> 01:12:01.399 can't hear you. Hold on a second, what play that? Fred? 1262 01:12:01.479 --> 01:12:02.640 Is that what you wanted to hear? 1263 01:12:03.640 --> 01:12:08.520 I'm in tears over that. I'm in tears over that. 1264 01:12:08.159 --> 01:12:12.399 That That sums up my day today, for sure, But 1265 01:12:12.560 --> 01:12:18.119 so many days I run a fruit and vessel market 1266 01:12:18.159 --> 01:12:21.600 at a vocal town far market, and people come all 1267 01:12:21.720 --> 01:12:27.640 day and the disrespect and they just push buttons and 1268 01:12:27.680 --> 01:12:31.399 it just makes things so hard sometimes. And for me 1269 01:12:31.479 --> 01:12:35.840 to hear that explains to me that there are people 1270 01:12:35.840 --> 01:12:39.760 out there who understand certain things that they could that 1271 01:12:39.840 --> 01:12:42.680 I'm not alone that that was. I wish I can 1272 01:12:42.760 --> 01:12:45.880 find out who that person was and get a transcripted at. 1273 01:12:47.279 --> 01:12:50.720 Uh fred, I will I will get you that information. 1274 01:12:50.960 --> 01:12:54.159 Keep listening and I'll get you that information. Walter Sterling 1275 01:12:54.560 --> 01:12:57.560 the Other Side of Midnight from the Red Apple Audio Network, 1276 01:12:58.159 --> 01:13:03.560 a known Canadian Dave's Scott Legend spased out radio up 1277 01:13:03.640 --> 01:13:08.039 to date on all spaced out radio things. Have you 1278 01:13:08.079 --> 01:13:12.520 seen the TV show Fear City? 1279 01:13:12.800 --> 01:13:13.720 Which TV show? 1280 01:13:14.520 --> 01:13:19.439 It's a series on Apple TV called Fear City. 1281 01:13:20.319 --> 01:13:21.119 No, I haven't. 1282 01:13:21.399 --> 01:13:25.960 Okay, So this is what's cool. It's a alternative history 1283 01:13:27.159 --> 01:13:31.279 of the space program. And the scenario is that Russia 1284 01:13:31.319 --> 01:13:34.439 got to the moon first, but that's not what it's about. 1285 01:13:35.199 --> 01:13:40.359 It's about what happened after that, what happened after. 1286 01:13:40.079 --> 01:13:40.680 That in. 1287 01:13:42.920 --> 01:13:48.039 Stars I'm sorry star City in star City and star 1288 01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:52.680 City is the Russian cape Canaveral Cape. Kennedy, I always 1289 01:13:52.680 --> 01:13:54.560 thought it was a much cooler name than we had. 1290 01:13:54.600 --> 01:13:57.520 It's always been called star City. But it's about the 1291 01:13:57.600 --> 01:14:01.239 life of people who live in star City, the engineers, 1292 01:14:01.720 --> 01:14:07.359 the military getting along. How that works in Russia completely 1293 01:14:07.399 --> 01:14:09.479 different than how it works here. But the story is 1294 01:14:10.039 --> 01:14:12.520 how they lived and what they did after they beat 1295 01:14:12.600 --> 01:14:13.199 us to the moon. 1296 01:14:15.600 --> 01:14:18.359 That is a very interesting theory and one of the 1297 01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:24.560 theories that I've heard of is that the Russian space 1298 01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:29.279 program actually lost a lot more astronauts up in space, 1299 01:14:30.119 --> 01:14:32.880 but gave all the credit to Yuri to Garin because 1300 01:14:32.920 --> 01:14:36.640 they needed to have a national hero for the space program. 1301 01:14:37.439 --> 01:14:43.079 Well, that might have happened, and that was covered in 1302 01:14:43.960 --> 01:14:44.840 Star City. 1303 01:14:46.560 --> 01:14:48.960 I'll have to look that up. That sounds really interesting. 1304 01:14:49.079 --> 01:14:53.439 It's on Apple TV and it's eight episodes and I 1305 01:14:53.520 --> 01:14:57.880 don't binge watch. I binge watched that. Once I started watching, 1306 01:14:58.079 --> 01:15:01.640 I could not stop it. There are no stars in it, 1307 01:15:01.760 --> 01:15:03.239 that's how strong the story was. 1308 01:15:04.600 --> 01:15:08.000 Oh, that is absolutely excellent. Sounds fantastic. 1309 01:15:08.279 --> 01:15:11.760 All right, there's Dave Scott. Do you have any updates, 1310 01:15:11.800 --> 01:15:14.079 anything interesting for us to think about. 1311 01:15:15.039 --> 01:15:19.720 We do. Just a couple of days ago, the NDAs 1312 01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:24.520 for people who have claimed to have whistleblower protection have 1313 01:15:25.119 --> 01:15:29.800 been lifted, and Eric Burlison, the congressperson who has been 1314 01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:34.640 spearheading this, said that President Trump has officially lifted the 1315 01:15:34.760 --> 01:15:39.439 NDAs for current and former personnel who had some sort 1316 01:15:39.439 --> 01:15:45.039 of contact or understanding of UFO programs within the US government. 1317 01:15:45.079 --> 01:15:48.840 He believes that's Burlison believes that this is going to 1318 01:15:48.880 --> 01:15:52.159 be something that opens up the true secrets of what 1319 01:15:52.239 --> 01:15:57.319 the United States government is currently holding regarding UFO's alien 1320 01:15:57.399 --> 01:16:02.680 life and unidentified a novelist phenomena. Now, it's great that 1321 01:16:02.760 --> 01:16:05.640 this has actually been released because now we can kind 1322 01:16:05.640 --> 01:16:08.319 of start to hopefully move the ball forward to any 1323 01:16:08.359 --> 01:16:12.359 type of disclosure. But the problem is, Walter, you need people. 1324 01:16:13.640 --> 01:16:17.439 You need people in order to sign up for this. Now, 1325 01:16:17.920 --> 01:16:20.000 the kind of people that they need in order to 1326 01:16:20.039 --> 01:16:23.279 break this story open isn't the person who say, is 1327 01:16:23.359 --> 01:16:26.359 working for the Air Force as a staff sergeant who 1328 01:16:26.359 --> 01:16:29.800 goes outside on a cigarette break and see something weird 1329 01:16:29.880 --> 01:16:33.800 over the base. No, they need people from internal in 1330 01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:36.159 order to be able to do this in order to 1331 01:16:36.159 --> 01:16:38.079 try and get any of the news out, to give 1332 01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:41.439 the stiffing dogs something that they can have a weed on, 1333 01:16:41.600 --> 01:16:44.239 to try and find out where these programs are being 1334 01:16:44.359 --> 01:16:48.279 hidden number one, but number two, who is currently holding 1335 01:16:48.680 --> 01:16:53.960 any potential crash retrievals and or alien bodies? And right now, 1336 01:16:54.000 --> 01:16:56.359 in the people that I have talked to leading up 1337 01:16:56.359 --> 01:16:59.359 to this, they don't believe anybody is actually going to 1338 01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:03.079 come forward. And there's a strong reason for that is 1339 01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:08.560 because many of these people who leave government programs, they 1340 01:17:08.680 --> 01:17:11.840 usually want to be hired on as contractors or some 1341 01:17:11.920 --> 01:17:17.880 sort of liaison towards defense companies or contracts in the 1342 01:17:17.880 --> 01:17:21.319 military industrial complex. And they don't want to shut the 1343 01:17:21.399 --> 01:17:26.439 doors on anything that they may perceive as UFO or 1344 01:17:26.760 --> 01:17:30.960 United States technology that hasn't gone through. And the last thing, 1345 01:17:31.079 --> 01:17:33.279 if you're on a hiring board, it's kind of like trying. 1346 01:17:33.560 --> 01:17:35.720 You know, you open up a position and you see 1347 01:17:35.720 --> 01:17:38.359 somebody with blue hair and a septum ring in their nose, 1348 01:17:38.680 --> 01:17:41.079 You're going to think twice about whether or not you 1349 01:17:41.079 --> 01:17:43.640 want somebody with pronouns coming in. And I say that 1350 01:17:43.760 --> 01:17:47.960 in jest, but the fact is they really don't want 1351 01:17:48.279 --> 01:17:51.880 somebody who is going to be a mouthpiece to secrets 1352 01:17:51.920 --> 01:17:55.520 that are being hidden by the government. It's basically, you're 1353 01:17:55.560 --> 01:17:59.039 either going to retire, you're planning on retiring, and you're 1354 01:17:59.079 --> 01:18:02.239 done with work, and that way you don't have to 1355 01:18:02.239 --> 01:18:05.239 hold on to any secrets anymore. And those are the 1356 01:18:05.239 --> 01:18:09.399 type of people who would might maybe do this whistleblowing thing. 1357 01:18:10.079 --> 01:18:13.000 But the people say who are still paying off a mortgage, 1358 01:18:13.039 --> 01:18:15.840 still have a family, maybe kids at college, who are 1359 01:18:16.000 --> 01:18:18.600 needing there for a one k, who are needing their 1360 01:18:19.279 --> 01:18:21.079 jobs or potential. 1361 01:18:20.760 --> 01:18:23.560 So you don't think you don't think that the lifting 1362 01:18:23.600 --> 01:18:26.479 of the NDAs is going to result in anybody turning 1363 01:18:26.520 --> 01:18:27.600 over their secrets? 1364 01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:32.039 I don't think so why would it? And here's the fact. 1365 01:18:32.079 --> 01:18:35.800 Here's the other thing problem with this NDA lifting as well, Walter, 1366 01:18:37.199 --> 01:18:40.399 is that let's just say you have an NDA, it 1367 01:18:40.399 --> 01:18:45.039 gets lifted, okay, and you want to you want to 1368 01:18:45.079 --> 01:18:48.600 talk about this, you don't get to talk or publicly 1369 01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:52.159 about it. You can't go on Fox News or CNN 1370 01:18:53.000 --> 01:18:56.279 because that's part of the agreement that they can only 1371 01:18:56.399 --> 01:19:02.079 talk to Senate and Congress people behind closed doors. They 1372 01:19:02.079 --> 01:19:03.720 are not allowed to go public. 1373 01:19:04.119 --> 01:19:08.239 Oh so they can only talk to the echo chamber. 1374 01:19:09.119 --> 01:19:13.920 Basically, yes, yes, And I don't know where the transparency 1375 01:19:14.039 --> 01:19:17.119 is in that. I mean, great, it's a step forward. 1376 01:19:17.239 --> 01:19:19.680 All the people are saying the right things. This is 1377 01:19:19.720 --> 01:19:23.239 a giant step forward towards getting this disclosure movement done. 1378 01:19:23.319 --> 01:19:25.720 And then they remind us this is a marathon, not 1379 01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:28.880 a sprint. But if you're going to have people and 1380 01:19:29.039 --> 01:19:32.119 allow them to talk to Congress, why does Congress get 1381 01:19:32.159 --> 01:19:35.640 to hold onto the secrets? Doesn't Congress work for the people, 1382 01:19:36.119 --> 01:19:39.000 and don't the people have a right to know I 1383 01:19:39.039 --> 01:19:39.600 think they do. 1384 01:19:40.960 --> 01:19:43.600 Dave Scott, how do we find you online. 1385 01:19:43.680 --> 01:19:46.680 Spaced out Radio dot com or you can find me 1386 01:19:46.760 --> 01:19:49.560 on YouTube spaced out Radio, or download any of my 1387 01:19:49.680 --> 01:19:55.520 shows free on Spotify, iHeartRadio, iTunes and many more podcast networks. 1388 01:19:55.560 --> 01:19:59.079 But the best thing is on spaced Out Radio slash shop. 1389 01:19:59.600 --> 01:20:03.000 You can fine sweatshirt T shirt with Walter Sterling in 1390 01:20:03.239 --> 01:20:05.159 a flying saucer. 1391 01:20:05.439 --> 01:20:08.119 That's right, and you fly it well, my friend, you're 1392 01:20:08.159 --> 01:20:08.439 the best. 1393 01:20:08.439 --> 01:20:11.840 Fly it well, you're the best, thanks, Dave Scott.

They don't stand on 1409 01:21:19.399 --> 01:21:24.119 ceremony very rarely. I don't want to say barely. You 1410 01:21:24.159 --> 01:21:27.640 know my experience and experience of people that come in 1411 01:21:27.680 --> 01:21:34.239 contact with and my daughter is also she went to 1412 01:21:34.279 --> 01:21:38.279 a private college, undergrad grad school and she has you know, 1413 01:21:38.399 --> 01:21:41.800 had friends that came from money, whether they inherited it 1414 01:21:42.000 --> 01:21:46.680 or earned or their inherited it or their parents earned it. 1415 01:21:48.039 --> 01:21:53.920 They are very nice, very nice, very easy going, where 1416 01:21:54.119 --> 01:22:00.920 when everything goes smoothly, when something doesn't shoot them, they 1417 01:22:00.960 --> 01:22:04.000 don't want to know you. They do it very politely, 1418 01:22:04.680 --> 01:22:09.479 but it's do you understand what I'm trying to point. 1419 01:22:09.560 --> 01:22:14.359 I'm trying to bring a curse and the whole personalities 1420 01:22:14.399 --> 01:22:19.640 can change. I experienced it personally in a dating settings 1421 01:22:19.920 --> 01:22:22.840 with men and encounter dated You didn't have to be 1422 01:22:23.079 --> 01:22:28.079 a lot, but you know, I know that behavior very well. 1423 01:22:28.479 --> 01:22:31.000 You know, and how did you deal with it? 1424 01:22:32.960 --> 01:22:37.239 How did they deal with it? Well? Well, each situation 1425 01:22:37.560 --> 01:22:42.760 is different with family. At one time I just distanced myself. 1426 01:22:43.000 --> 01:22:46.720 It was difficult, extremely difficult. That wasn't therapy because family 1427 01:22:46.760 --> 01:22:50.800 you can disinherit, you understand. And I had a family 1428 01:22:50.840 --> 01:22:55.760 members since deceased who would talk to me like you 1429 01:22:55.800 --> 01:23:01.800 would give me orders, just like a close very close 1430 01:23:01.880 --> 01:23:06.079 you know. I you know, it was a male and 1431 01:23:06.159 --> 01:23:12.439 a femail and you know. And and when my daughter 1432 01:23:12.479 --> 01:23:15.720 experienced said she didn't break it down for me. But 1433 01:23:15.880 --> 01:23:19.239 I just know how is I had met a man 1434 01:23:19.920 --> 01:23:23.640 as an example, for instance, I don't know, twelve fifteen 1435 01:23:23.720 --> 01:23:28.119 years ago, whose family is in a commercial real estate, 1436 01:23:28.760 --> 01:23:35.760 extremely rich, extremely and I wouldn't understand his behavior because 1437 01:23:35.800 --> 01:23:39.119 I thought, you know, she spoke with the statisticated things. 1438 01:23:39.199 --> 01:23:44.079 I mean, you know, I understand his but I remember 1439 01:23:44.479 --> 01:23:47.840 how I we were in a restaurant one time, and 1440 01:23:48.680 --> 01:23:51.199 he was he invited me to a gallery and this 1441 01:23:51.279 --> 01:23:55.199 and that and the arts that. So he took me 1442 01:23:55.279 --> 01:23:58.039 to a restaurant in Manhattan, in the city, in the 1443 01:23:58.079 --> 01:24:05.520 town and the viewers, and he was telling me what 1444 01:24:05.640 --> 01:24:09.439 to order, how to sit, not to ask questions of 1445 01:24:09.560 --> 01:24:12.479 the waiters, you know, if I had an equations to 1446 01:24:12.600 --> 01:24:17.239 address them to him whatever. And then suddenly I remember 1447 01:24:17.319 --> 01:24:21.600 he picked myself up, he like through the menu, you know, 1448 01:24:21.960 --> 01:24:25.479 not at me at the table and just walked out. 1449 01:24:25.800 --> 01:24:30.039 I mean he paid, you know, we were just getting appetizers, appetizers. 1450 01:24:30.079 --> 01:24:32.600 I was in shock, in shock. 1451 01:24:32.479 --> 01:24:36.199 I remember, well, I can understand. I totally understand. Listen, 1452 01:24:36.279 --> 01:24:39.760 this was great information. It's a good reminder the rich 1453 01:24:39.760 --> 01:24:41.920 are different than you and me. But you're a great 1454 01:24:42.000 --> 01:24:44.399 friend to this show. Thank you very much for calling 1455 01:24:44.760 --> 01:24:49.439 the Other side of Midnight. It has always been a 1456 01:24:49.439 --> 01:24:53.640 puzzle to me about the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages 1457 01:24:53.680 --> 01:25:00.640 came after the period of enormous architectural growth around the world. 1458 01:25:00.680 --> 01:25:05.239 The Pyramids came after the Pyramids. It came after the 1459 01:25:05.520 --> 01:25:11.800 incredible astronomical work that was done in Alexandria and in 1460 01:25:11.920 --> 01:25:18.159 South America, and then suddenly a thousand years we did nothing. 1461 01:25:19.399 --> 01:25:22.000 Does that make any sense at all? Let me make 1462 01:25:22.039 --> 01:25:24.600 it po more practical and simple for you, because this 1463 01:25:24.720 --> 01:25:29.640 is one of the great mysteries of human kind. Think 1464 01:25:29.640 --> 01:25:35.479 about your family history. What you know of your family, grandma, grandpa, 1465 01:25:37.760 --> 01:25:42.800 all of the DNA tests that you could take. Think 1466 01:25:42.880 --> 01:25:47.439 back before nineteen fifty, the stories you heard before nineteen twenty, 1467 01:25:47.560 --> 01:25:51.279 the stories you heard before nineteen hundred, and now go 1468 01:25:51.359 --> 01:25:55.279 back to eighteen fifty. What do you know of your 1469 01:25:55.359 --> 01:26:02.159 family before eighteen fifty. I'll bet it's mystery. I'll bet 1470 01:26:02.279 --> 01:26:08.399 you don't know anything about your family before eighteen fifty. Now, 1471 01:26:08.840 --> 01:26:13.279 they were writing books before eighteen fifty. There were logs, 1472 01:26:13.680 --> 01:26:19.239 there were histories. The Vatican libraries are packed with information 1473 01:26:19.399 --> 01:26:27.800 before eighteen fifty. Libraries around the world, Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, 1474 01:26:28.199 --> 01:26:32.760 those libraries have books from before eighteen fifty. But you 1475 01:26:32.800 --> 01:26:36.399 don't know anything about your family before eighteen fifty. Is 1476 01:26:36.479 --> 01:26:42.319 it possible? Is it possible that the calendars were adjusted 1477 01:26:43.680 --> 01:26:52.159 by the elites to maintain power. Michelle Gibson, who is 1478 01:26:52.239 --> 01:26:55.760 a researcher and an academic, she's on our show frequently, 1479 01:26:55.960 --> 01:27:01.119 and what she says is that a signific amount of 1480 01:27:01.399 --> 01:27:04.720 time was taken out of our calendar, out of our history, 1481 01:27:05.560 --> 01:27:09.640 and made things happen much sooner, much more recently than 1482 01:27:09.680 --> 01:27:19.039 we believe. She says that many of the things that 1483 01:27:19.079 --> 01:27:22.319 we think happened long ago did not happen long ago. 1484 01:27:22.920 --> 01:27:26.000 That hundreds of years were taken out of our calendars, 1485 01:27:26.119 --> 01:27:29.399 hundreds of years. That the Holy Roman Empire did not 1486 01:27:29.760 --> 01:27:33.199 end a thousand years ago, it ended maybe five hundred 1487 01:27:33.239 --> 01:27:37.760 years ago. Consider the Roman roads, consider the aqueducts are 1488 01:27:37.800 --> 01:27:41.840 just fine. The aqueducts in Rome still work, they still 1489 01:27:41.920 --> 01:27:46.119 carry water to the Roman Empire. The roads in northern 1490 01:27:46.119 --> 01:27:48.279 England that were built by the Romans, they're still there. 1491 01:27:48.319 --> 01:27:51.800 They're better than the Jersey Turnpike. They're better than RUT eighty, 1492 01:27:51.840 --> 01:27:54.920 which always, for some reasons, needs to be fixed. Why 1493 01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:58.119 does RUT eighty always need to be fixed when the 1494 01:27:58.199 --> 01:28:03.279 least used parts of Route eighty are never are always 1495 01:28:03.279 --> 01:28:06.159 the ones in trouble. It's it's the least used parts 1496 01:28:06.199 --> 01:28:08.880 of Root eighty that they're always fixing. Why is that? 1497 01:28:09.800 --> 01:28:13.439 But there? It is. Our memories don't go back as 1498 01:28:13.520 --> 01:28:18.640 long as they should with information that's readily available, and 1499 01:28:19.159 --> 01:28:22.399 many of the major events were told happened five hundred 1500 01:28:22.439 --> 01:28:26.119 years ago, a thousand years ago, that that isn't what happened, 1501 01:28:27.039 --> 01:28:31.920 and that information about the Middle Es, sorry, the Middle Ages, 1502 01:28:32.399 --> 01:28:39.600 the Dark period of our history was made up eight 1503 01:28:39.680 --> 01:28:42.279 hundred eight four eight nine two to two eight hundred 1504 01:28:42.399 --> 01:28:45.800 eight four eight nine two two two. You and I 1505 01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:52.880 talk about Tartaria, we talk about the land grab. In 1506 01:28:52.960 --> 01:28:58.439 eighteen fifty there was an enorm an, enormous, astronomical event 1507 01:29:00.520 --> 01:29:05.359 fire in the sky, major explosions. Telegraph operators said their 1508 01:29:05.399 --> 01:29:11.000 telegraphs went down. Nothing worked. At the same time, there 1509 01:29:11.000 --> 01:29:17.199 were massive weather challenges, there were mud floods. Mud floods 1510 01:29:17.399 --> 01:29:23.880 wiped out cities. The elites of the day went to 1511 01:29:23.960 --> 01:29:27.560 those cities where people had lost their homes, the buildings, 1512 01:29:27.640 --> 01:29:31.239 their architecture, they had lost everything, and the elites of 1513 01:29:31.279 --> 01:29:34.399 the day went in and just grabbed the land. They 1514 01:29:34.399 --> 01:29:36.840 went in and grabbed as much as they possibly could, 1515 01:29:37.720 --> 01:29:41.199 and that's how they built their wealth. They built their 1516 01:29:41.199 --> 01:29:47.720 wealth by stealing the land that was destroyed by fires 1517 01:29:47.760 --> 01:29:52.479 and mudslides. That's what happened. That's one of the great mysteries. 1518 01:29:53.720 --> 01:29:57.920 In eighteen hundred, every school map, in every elementary school, 1519 01:29:57.960 --> 01:30:01.800 every high school, every school map had a country called Tartaria. 1520 01:30:02.640 --> 01:30:09.960 Tartaria all of Central Asia. And by nineteen hundred it 1521 01:30:10.039 --> 01:30:12.720 was gone. What do you mean it was gone? Where 1522 01:30:12.760 --> 01:30:16.920 did that go? These were This was an empire without 1523 01:30:16.960 --> 01:30:24.560 posts around the world, amazing architecture, ether electricity, power that 1524 01:30:24.760 --> 01:30:28.439 was captured from the air, lay lines that were captured 1525 01:30:28.439 --> 01:30:32.840 from the ground that powered these cities, lit these cities, 1526 01:30:32.920 --> 01:30:38.239 heated these cities and then was destroyed. Why would that 1527 01:30:38.279 --> 01:30:41.159 have been destroyed. It was destroyed because it was free. 1528 01:30:42.399 --> 01:30:46.800 And at the same time standard oil, the oil barrens 1529 01:30:47.760 --> 01:30:50.680 were establishing. They were starting to drill oil, and they 1530 01:30:50.680 --> 01:30:53.720 got it out and they're like, well, wait, we want 1531 01:30:53.720 --> 01:30:57.800 to manufacture this heat. We want to manufacture this electricity 1532 01:30:57.840 --> 01:31:07.520 in this light. They wanted to put a meter on it. 1533 01:31:08.439 --> 01:31:10.720 You and I are on in Chicago on the Great 1534 01:31:10.880 --> 01:31:15.399 WGN Radio, the Great WGN Walter Sterling, the other side 1535 01:31:15.399 --> 01:31:17.279 of midnight. You and I can talk at the live 1536 01:31:17.399 --> 01:31:21.159 radio show Sunday into Monday on the First Shift, the 1537 01:31:21.159 --> 01:31:24.520 Great Shift eight hundred eight four eight nine two two 1538 01:31:24.600 --> 01:31:28.039 two eight hundred eight four eight nine two two two. 1539 01:31:29.119 --> 01:31:32.079 These are the biggest mysteries there are. How is it 1540 01:31:32.159 --> 01:31:36.960 possible that the world had free electricity? And that Tesla 1541 01:31:37.039 --> 01:31:40.239 knew this? Tesla will be the first to have said 1542 01:31:40.239 --> 01:31:42.560 you can find it everywhere in his writing that he 1543 01:31:42.640 --> 01:31:45.279 did not come up with the idea of free electricity. 1544 01:31:45.680 --> 01:31:48.000 He did not come up with the idea of capturing 1545 01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:50.960 ether and turning it into heat and light. He didn't 1546 01:31:51.000 --> 01:31:54.319 do that. He said, this has been done before, and 1547 01:31:54.399 --> 01:31:58.000 all he wanted to do was establish it, make it work, 1548 01:31:58.279 --> 01:32:04.000 distribute it for free. Because that's who he was. It's 1549 01:32:04.000 --> 01:32:06.760 the biggest mystery of our time eight hundred eight four 1550 01:32:06.800 --> 01:32:10.439 eight nine two to two two with Walter Sterling. Now 1551 01:32:10.439 --> 01:32:13.720 there are other mysteries. They are more urgent and current 1552 01:32:13.760 --> 01:32:22.279 mysteries that I want to share with you. One of 1553 01:32:21.359 --> 01:32:29.319 the big campaigns among generations Z is that they stop 1554 01:32:29.359 --> 01:32:31.279 going to bars. They don't want to go to the 1555 01:32:31.319 --> 01:32:35.680 bar anymore. They're not drinking. And many sociologists are saying, well, 1556 01:32:35.720 --> 01:32:38.479 it's because they don't want to have They don't want 1557 01:32:38.520 --> 01:32:42.880 to be drunks. They want to live a love healthy lifestyle. 1558 01:32:42.880 --> 01:32:45.720 They want to have wellness. They'd rather do things that 1559 01:32:45.800 --> 01:32:48.319 represent wellness. Go to the gym, meet each other at 1560 01:32:48.359 --> 01:32:51.119 the gym, meet each other in social things, playing cards, 1561 01:32:51.399 --> 01:32:55.119 traditional board games, all of that. And that's a lot 1562 01:32:55.119 --> 01:32:59.399 of nonsense. The reason there's a traumatic drop in alcohol 1563 01:32:59.520 --> 01:33:04.279 consumption among eighteen to thirty four year olds is marijuana. 1564 01:33:05.439 --> 01:33:09.760 That pot is legal, and what you used to go 1565 01:33:09.920 --> 01:33:13.680 and get a martini over the day, they're having a 1566 01:33:13.760 --> 01:33:17.560 joint over the day. That's what it is. I don't 1567 01:33:17.560 --> 01:33:19.720 know why that In none of the reports about the 1568 01:33:19.760 --> 01:33:24.239 decline in alcohol consumption, which is a significant decline, there 1569 01:33:24.279 --> 01:33:28.159 are distilleries and distribution centers that are out of business. 1570 01:33:28.199 --> 01:33:30.479 There are distilleries that have gone bankrupt in the last 1571 01:33:30.920 --> 01:33:36.279 two years because business is down. Business is down. But 1572 01:33:36.319 --> 01:33:38.479 then there are other wacky things that I hear from 1573 01:33:38.520 --> 01:33:40.920 gen Z's that I hear from my daughter. My daughter's 1574 01:33:40.960 --> 01:33:43.840 about to go to work. She just got out of college, 1575 01:33:43.880 --> 01:33:48.319 she just graduated from college, and she is going to work. 1576 01:33:49.159 --> 01:33:52.960 And one of the things that she and her friends 1577 01:33:53.279 --> 01:33:58.039 readily discuss, openly discuss is how much they're getting paid. 1578 01:33:59.279 --> 01:34:02.760 And when you were about to enter the workforce, one 1579 01:34:02.760 --> 01:34:04.920 of the things that your mother or father said to 1580 01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:08.880 you is do not tell anybody what you're getting paid. 1581 01:34:09.279 --> 01:34:13.560 And your mother and father were right, do not tell 1582 01:34:13.680 --> 01:34:18.359 anybody what you're getting paid. My daughter, I had to 1583 01:34:18.439 --> 01:34:21.640 have this serious conversation with her, Well, everybody should know 1584 01:34:21.680 --> 01:34:24.039 what everyone else is getting paid. That's how you may 1585 01:34:24.399 --> 01:34:28.199 make sure you're all getting paid fairly. No, that's not 1586 01:34:28.319 --> 01:34:31.079 how you all know. First of all, you're assuming a lot. 1587 01:34:31.199 --> 01:34:34.760 You're assuming the other person's telling you the truth. Secondly, 1588 01:34:35.319 --> 01:34:38.079 you're assuming that you don't have some nda in that 1589 01:34:38.239 --> 01:34:41.039 package of stuff you got from your employer that says 1590 01:34:41.039 --> 01:34:47.399 you will not reveal that information. Nowhere is it encourage 1591 01:34:47.439 --> 01:34:51.039 It's not a good idea. Well, everybody knows that credit 1592 01:34:51.119 --> 01:34:56.800 bureaus know. No major mistake, major misunderstanding of what credit 1593 01:34:56.840 --> 01:35:00.479 bureaus do, kreit, no cred. No place can you go 1594 01:35:00.560 --> 01:35:02.840 online and find out what somebody else makes for a 1595 01:35:02.840 --> 01:35:06.600 living unless they have volunteered it. It is not reported, 1596 01:35:07.159 --> 01:35:11.560 and in fact, most companies view it as a corporate secret. 1597 01:35:11.680 --> 01:35:16.479 It's a trade secret and the worst thing an employer 1598 01:35:16.520 --> 01:35:16.800 can do. 1599 01:35:16.840 --> 01:35:16.880 It. 1600 01:35:16.920 --> 01:35:19.000 In many states it's still legal, but it's not still 1601 01:35:19.079 --> 01:35:21.960 legal in New York State. In many states it's still legal. 1602 01:35:21.960 --> 01:35:25.279 When you sit down for a job interview the person 1603 01:35:25.359 --> 01:35:27.319 across from you. If they say to you, so, what 1604 01:35:27.359 --> 01:35:29.479 are you making now? What are you earning? Now? Don't 1605 01:35:29.520 --> 01:35:32.520 answer that question. It's none of their damn business. And 1606 01:35:32.560 --> 01:35:35.560 the way to answer it is to say, I signed 1607 01:35:35.560 --> 01:35:38.159 an NDA with my current employer that I would never 1608 01:35:38.239 --> 01:35:41.000 reveal that, And you might ask me the same to 1609 01:35:41.079 --> 01:35:43.359 do the same thing, and I'll be happy to I 1610 01:35:43.399 --> 01:35:47.800 will treat that as a trade secret, no problem, because 1611 01:35:47.840 --> 01:35:50.279 they would love to know what you're making. Because boom, 1612 01:35:50.319 --> 01:35:52.279 you're busted. You're not going to get any more money 1613 01:35:52.359 --> 01:35:54.640 than that. You're going to get just about that much money. 1614 01:35:55.159 --> 01:35:57.159 Worst thing you could do is reveal to an employer, 1615 01:35:57.199 --> 01:36:00.199 what's your potential employers what you're making. But even one 1616 01:36:00.239 --> 01:36:04.159 worse is to reveal to your friends what you're making. 1617 01:36:05.199 --> 01:36:11.359 Even worse the But that's definitely a generational thing where 1618 01:36:11.880 --> 01:36:14.439 my daughter who's twenty four, she believes that it's a 1619 01:36:14.439 --> 01:36:16.760 good thing, that it's the right thing to do. It's 1620 01:36:16.800 --> 01:36:19.279 the way to bust the man. How's that a way 1621 01:36:19.319 --> 01:36:22.159 to bust the man? What that does is it's going 1622 01:36:22.199 --> 01:36:26.079 to keep your salary right there. And if somebody is 1623 01:36:26.520 --> 01:36:30.279 particularly good at their job and deserves more, they're not 1624 01:36:30.319 --> 01:36:33.239 going to get it because if they're telling everybody what 1625 01:36:33.279 --> 01:36:36.479 they're making, that puts the employer in the jackpot. Then 1626 01:36:36.520 --> 01:36:39.840 the employer has a problem. If you've done a great job, 1627 01:36:40.039 --> 01:36:42.720 you deserve a raise, you deserve a bonus. Good for you, 1628 01:36:42.840 --> 01:36:47.039 it's your business. Don't tell anybody what you make, because 1629 01:36:47.079 --> 01:36:50.199 then the employer's got a problem, which is, oh, you've 1630 01:36:50.199 --> 01:36:53.079 told everybody what you make, and now they're all in 1631 01:36:53.199 --> 01:36:57.800 line with your employer to say, can I have that? 1632 01:36:58.079 --> 01:37:00.600 Can I make that? Why you're giving them to Susan, 1633 01:37:00.680 --> 01:37:02.840 and then they're stuck explaining why they gave that to 1634 01:37:02.880 --> 01:37:05.920 Susan and not you. And they have learned a valuable lesson, 1635 01:37:05.960 --> 01:37:10.119 which is to not give anybody a raise. Genius, got it? 1636 01:37:13.479 --> 01:37:17.079 Real work experiences eight hundred eight four eight nine two 1637 01:37:17.159 --> 01:37:23.359 two two. Eight hundred eight four eight nine two two two. Yes, 1638 01:37:28.199 --> 01:37:32.399 the So those are those are my frontline pieces of 1639 01:37:32.439 --> 01:37:34.720 advice to my daughter. I also heard her on the 1640 01:37:34.720 --> 01:37:39.199 phone with another worker at her upcoming business where she's 1641 01:37:39.239 --> 01:37:44.640 about to work.

No answer? 1645 01:37:59.560 --> 01:38:03.640 Thank you? Eight hundred eight four eight nine two. Eight 1646 01:38:03.760 --> 01:38:06.359 hundred eight four eight nine two two two. That's our 1647 01:38:06.399 --> 01:38:09.720 big challenge, my friend. Our big challenge on any given 1648 01:38:09.800 --> 01:38:16.640 day is not the job. It's not the health. Usually 1649 01:38:16.720 --> 01:38:23.279 the big challenge is just making it all work, making 1650 01:38:23.319 --> 01:38:30.640 it work with your relationships. That's the mystery is getting along. 1651 01:38:30.760 --> 01:38:34.000 I've got some stuff to play for you, but that 1652 01:38:34.199 --> 01:38:37.079 requires me having to find it.

Larry, Welcome to the other side of Midnight. 1666 01:39:45.680 --> 01:39:50.319 High Thank you, Walter. I was a little off there. 1667 01:39:50.359 --> 01:39:55.359 But what my question is to you is I would 1668 01:39:55.479 --> 01:40:01.960 like to lobby the milk industry and I would like 1669 01:40:02.039 --> 01:40:09.600 to see how who to contact to try to see 1670 01:40:09.680 --> 01:40:15.560 the regulations of the milk industry be required to go 1671 01:40:15.760 --> 01:40:20.720 back to the standard where milk is issued into the 1672 01:40:20.760 --> 01:40:24.640 glass bottles. Is I think that the plastic industry is 1673 01:40:24.720 --> 01:40:27.960 killing us. It's getting into the milk and the water. 1674 01:40:29.239 --> 01:40:33.079 Maybe the same for the water industry. 1675 01:40:34.039 --> 01:40:36.720 William, do you have that cart ready? Do you have 1676 01:40:36.760 --> 01:40:39.039 that cut ready that I discussed a minute ago? Are 1677 01:40:39.039 --> 01:40:42.680 you ready to run that cut? All right? On my cue? Okay, 1678 01:40:43.560 --> 01:40:45.119 what are you talking about, Larry? Do you have a 1679 01:40:45.119 --> 01:40:46.960 lot of free time? I mean, why are you worried 1680 01:40:47.000 --> 01:40:47.479 about this? 1681 01:40:49.359 --> 01:40:49.560 Well? 1682 01:40:50.239 --> 01:40:53.640 I have free time. But the reason I'm worried about 1683 01:40:53.680 --> 01:40:58.119 this is because I think that plastics are getting into 1684 01:40:58.199 --> 01:41:05.720 our food by way of water and milk and the uh, 1685 01:41:07.399 --> 01:41:13.239 the microwave, and it's causing a lot of cancer in 1686 01:41:13.399 --> 01:41:18.239 the the colon cancer, and I think we should all 1687 01:41:18.279 --> 01:41:19.399 be worried about it. 1688 01:41:20.359 --> 01:41:22.840 I appreciate the call certain citizens. 1689 01:41:23.479 --> 01:41:26.560 Well you know exactly what to do, you don't, you know? 1690 01:41:26.960 --> 01:41:29.520 You don't call me to ask that. You know exactly 1691 01:41:29.560 --> 01:41:32.600 what to do with that. You know exactly how to 1692 01:41:32.640 --> 01:41:35.319 get back to the standard of glass. First of all, 1693 01:41:35.399 --> 01:41:39.960 I get my milk delivered and it's delivered in glass bottles. 1694 01:41:40.840 --> 01:41:46.039 I get it now. Thank you for the call.

It's there are many milk delivery services that 1696 01:41:50.199 --> 01:41:55.520 specifically will deliver in glass bottles. 1697 01:41:56.800 --> 01:41:59.760 Well, anyway, I think we should contact our congressman. 1698 01:42:00.079 --> 01:42:02.359 Then don't don't tell me to do that. You can 1699 01:42:02.399 --> 01:42:05.239 do that, but that isn't going to get it.

And 1706 01:42:18.359 --> 01:42:21.000 you know what, they all will do it. Thank you 1707 01:42:21.039 --> 01:42:23.319 for the call.

Now, 1710 01:42:31.319 --> 01:42:35.800 what did I want to talk to you about? Uh? 1711 01:42:33.880 --> 01:42:40.920 Let me yes?

Usually the trouble is this, we 1730 01:44:17.119 --> 01:44:20.680 want to rewrite the past impossible, or we want to 1731 01:44:20.680 --> 01:44:25.399 predict the future impossible. That's what keeps most people up. 1732 01:44:25.920 --> 01:44:29.279 And you are at the at work on the great shift, 1733 01:44:29.399 --> 01:44:32.800 the late shift, and you're thinking about stuff you don't 1734 01:44:32.800 --> 01:44:36.279 want to ruin your day. What ruins our day? What 1735 01:44:36.479 --> 01:44:39.680 makes our day great? What makes our day great? It 1736 01:44:39.720 --> 01:44:44.600 isn't the day, it's an event. It's one thing. I 1737 01:44:44.640 --> 01:44:46.880 want to know what your one thing is. It's eight 1738 01:44:47.000 --> 01:44:49.159 hundred eight four eight nine two two two. It's a 1739 01:44:49.199 --> 01:44:52.720 live radio show with Walter Sterling. Eight hundred eight four 1740 01:44:52.760 --> 01:44:56.279 eight nine two two two. Oh my gosh. What Yes, 1741 01:44:56.600 --> 01:45:02.119 a website waltersterlingshow dot com and an email, but I'd 1742 01:45:02.199 --> 01:45:04.000 rather have you call, so I'm not going to give 1743 01:45:04.039 --> 01:45:06.920 you the email I'd rather have you call eight hundred 1744 01:45:07.000 --> 01:45:09.439 eight four eight nine two two two that thing, that 1745 01:45:09.560 --> 01:45:13.520 one thing that's eating at you or that you're making 1746 01:45:13.640 --> 01:45:16.359 really happy. The other side of midnight, Red Apple Audio, 1747 01:45:16.479 --> 01:45:20.640 notte all right, it's you and me at eight hundred 1748 01:45:20.680 --> 01:45:23.560 eighty four eight nine two two two. Eight hundred eight 1749 01:45:23.560 --> 01:45:26.680 four eight nine two two two. It's the other side 1750 01:45:26.680 --> 01:45:30.960 of midnight, which brings up the key issue, how many 1751 01:45:30.960 --> 01:45:34.720 sides of midnight are there? Are there just two? Or 1752 01:45:34.760 --> 01:45:38.119 are there four? Or they're ten. These are the existential 1753 01:45:38.239 --> 01:45:41.199 questions of our time. These are the things that people 1754 01:45:41.319 --> 01:45:47.159 are perspiring over right now. My existential threat at any 1755 01:45:47.159 --> 01:45:52.399 given moment is the dishwasher. The dishwasher is always speaking 1756 01:45:52.439 --> 01:45:54.760 to me. It has been speaking to me since I 1757 01:45:54.800 --> 01:45:57.600 was sixteen, when my mother first said to me, empty 1758 01:45:58.399 --> 01:46:02.119 the dishwasher. It was my first chore. And you know, 1759 01:46:02.720 --> 01:46:07.159 I have three teenage daughters and it exhausts them. The 1760 01:46:07.239 --> 01:46:12.439 possibility of emptying the dishwasher is something they can't begin 1761 01:46:12.640 --> 01:46:16.520 to deal with. If one of them does empty the 1762 01:46:16.560 --> 01:46:20.560 dishwasher today and then tomorrow I say, could you empty 1763 01:46:20.600 --> 01:46:23.680 the dishwasher please, they will say, but I did it yesterday, 1764 01:46:24.359 --> 01:46:26.840 and I said, yes, I know, but could you do 1765 01:46:26.920 --> 01:46:30.079 it today? And they will say, but I did it 1766 01:46:30.199 --> 01:46:35.159 yesterday because it's such an exhausting task. And then I 1767 01:46:35.199 --> 01:46:38.239 think about the man I saw tonight who was standing 1768 01:46:38.279 --> 01:46:43.119 behind the hotel on the loading dock with at least 1769 01:46:43.159 --> 01:46:48.479 two hundred bags of garbage ten feet across at least, 1770 01:46:48.880 --> 01:46:50.479 and he was going to take each of them from 1771 01:46:50.520 --> 01:46:55.239 the loading dock to the curb. A true midnight misfit, 1772 01:46:55.800 --> 01:47:00.800 a true third no sorry, first shifters, a great shift. 1773 01:47:01.640 --> 01:47:04.520 But again it goes down to who we are. We 1774 01:47:04.640 --> 01:47:08.119 are the ones. We are the task masters. We're the 1775 01:47:08.159 --> 01:47:12.399 ones who get it done. We don't waste our time 1776 01:47:12.560 --> 01:47:17.239 on theory. We don't waste our time filling out forms. 1777 01:47:17.520 --> 01:47:20.319 We don't waste our time making forms. That's for the 1778 01:47:20.399 --> 01:47:24.600 day people. The day people handle all of that because 1779 01:47:24.640 --> 01:47:29.079 it makes them happy. It would make us miserable if 1780 01:47:29.119 --> 01:47:31.159 you and I are put in a situation where we 1781 01:47:31.239 --> 01:47:35.720 have to generate forms, create forms, if we have to 1782 01:47:35.760 --> 01:47:39.479 fill out forms, we're miserable. When they stick a form 1783 01:47:39.600 --> 01:47:43.640 in your locker or your mailbox, I know what you do. 1784 01:47:44.119 --> 01:47:47.039 You lose it, that's what you do. And then a 1785 01:47:47.079 --> 01:47:49.600 month later they go the you fall out that farm, 1786 01:47:49.680 --> 01:47:53.199 and you go, I didn't get a form. That's what 1787 01:47:53.239 --> 01:47:59.640 you and I do. Our day is made up of 1788 01:48:00.119 --> 01:48:03.159 really odd things. If you break down the day, if 1789 01:48:03.159 --> 01:48:06.279 you deconstruct it, what's our day made out of? Our 1790 01:48:06.359 --> 01:48:10.039 day is made out of pieces that collectively can cause 1791 01:48:10.119 --> 01:48:12.159 us to say, God, I've had a great day today, 1792 01:48:12.600 --> 01:48:14.359 or gosh, I had a terrible. 1793 01:48:14.039 --> 01:48:14.520 Day to day. 1794 01:48:15.840 --> 01:48:19.119 But when you deconstruct it is to like, what was 1795 01:48:19.159 --> 01:48:22.920 the terrible part of the day. Usually it comes down 1796 01:48:22.960 --> 01:48:28.680 to the printer. Many of our joyful moments and tragic 1797 01:48:28.720 --> 01:48:35.600 moments are the printer. If the printer kick causes trouble, 1798 01:48:35.720 --> 01:48:37.479 We've had a terrible day. Why do you have a 1799 01:48:37.560 --> 01:48:40.399 terrible day? The printer the damn printer. And then we 1800 01:48:40.439 --> 01:48:42.600 start to explain what a curse the printer is. We 1801 01:48:42.680 --> 01:48:45.359 have to get a new printer. Ran out of stuff. 1802 01:48:45.399 --> 01:48:48.239 It said that it was empty, it had no more ink, 1803 01:48:48.640 --> 01:48:51.640 but then when it kept printing, it still had ink. 1804 01:48:51.720 --> 01:48:58.479 That's the lie. That's their installed expiration date. That's the 1805 01:48:58.560 --> 01:49:02.119 installed obsolescent, which is it tells you that it's out 1806 01:49:02.119 --> 01:49:03.840 of ink when it's not out of ink at all. 1807 01:49:04.800 --> 01:49:09.000 We've experienced that with the battery in the iPhone. Eddie 1808 01:49:09.119 --> 01:49:13.079 Arrogan or Eddie Dragon explained that to us that the 1809 01:49:13.119 --> 01:49:16.479 iPhone heats up on purpose. They and by the way, 1810 01:49:16.520 --> 01:49:21.119 you can search iPhone too hot, the battery is too hot, 1811 01:49:21.119 --> 01:49:23.960 and it tells you the settings to change that I've 1812 01:49:23.960 --> 01:49:25.439 done on my phone and all of a sudden the 1813 01:49:25.479 --> 01:49:29.359 battery was fine and it stopped heating up. But really 1814 01:49:29.399 --> 01:49:32.520 that's what it is. The iPhone's annoying us. The iPhone's 1815 01:49:32.520 --> 01:49:36.439 heating up. My gosh. The printers out of ink, the 1816 01:49:36.520 --> 01:49:42.960 paper jams. Those are the things that ruin our day. 1817 01:49:43.039 --> 01:49:45.920 And one of the things that has been really stupid. 1818 01:49:46.880 --> 01:49:49.079 Not true of the company I work for here, not 1819 01:49:49.119 --> 01:49:51.319 true of the Red Apple Audio Networks, in fact, quite 1820 01:49:51.359 --> 01:49:56.359 the opposite, but one of the things that many companies 1821 01:49:56.399 --> 01:50:00.279 has really screwed up. There are people in other companyanies. 1822 01:50:00.319 --> 01:50:03.520 You won't believe this, in other businesses and other retail 1823 01:50:03.560 --> 01:50:08.600 businesses that have people to fix the printer. What yeah, 1824 01:50:08.640 --> 01:50:11.359 they have people. They have guys just to fix the 1825 01:50:11.399 --> 01:50:14.479 printer so you don't have to waste your time and energy. 1826 01:50:14.520 --> 01:50:20.079 There are people actually hired to fill out the FedEx form, 1827 01:50:20.439 --> 01:50:21.800 to do the postal stuff. 1828 01:50:22.319 --> 01:50:22.520 What. 1829 01:50:23.039 --> 01:50:28.359 Yeah, they're called assistance. If you want to get fancied, 1830 01:50:28.359 --> 01:50:31.640 they're called executive assistants. Some places call them secretaries. Most 1831 01:50:31.680 --> 01:50:35.199 of them have been eliminated, especially in industries that are 1832 01:50:35.199 --> 01:50:40.119 consolidating and consolidating industries, those people are eliminated. That is 1833 01:50:40.159 --> 01:50:44.359 the biggest, stupidest, the falsest economy. A company can make 1834 01:50:45.039 --> 01:50:47.560 the dumbest economy. I'll tell you. I'll tell you what 1835 01:50:47.640 --> 01:50:50.960 company not to do business with. If you get off 1836 01:50:51.000 --> 01:50:53.319 an elevator, you're going to go see a company, you're 1837 01:50:53.319 --> 01:50:58.520 going to go deal with, maybe a new doctor or 1838 01:50:58.520 --> 01:51:02.239 a lawyer or some horm and you get off the 1839 01:51:02.279 --> 01:51:08.359 elevator and you're looking for a receptionist. You're looking for 1840 01:51:08.399 --> 01:51:11.359 somebody to smile at you and say hello. But you 1841 01:51:11.399 --> 01:51:15.119 don't see them. Now at this company, you get off 1842 01:51:15.119 --> 01:51:17.560 the elevator, you see somebody who will smile and say 1843 01:51:17.560 --> 01:51:20.640 hello to you and greet you. That is the proper 1844 01:51:20.680 --> 01:51:26.239 way to do it. It's almost common sense, but way 1845 01:51:26.319 --> 01:51:28.560 too many don't have that. Instead, you know what they have. 1846 01:51:29.000 --> 01:51:32.399 They have the dumbest greeting, the most inefficient greeting possible. 1847 01:51:33.600 --> 01:51:37.039 They have a trimline phone and the trim line phone 1848 01:51:37.119 --> 01:51:40.640 is hanging on that wall, and next to it is 1849 01:51:40.880 --> 01:51:45.199 a directory of extensions. What, Yeah, they like to have 1850 01:51:45.279 --> 01:51:49.079 ten names and you're supposed to die the extension of 1851 01:51:49.119 --> 01:51:52.039 that person. That's how you get in. And then you 1852 01:51:52.079 --> 01:51:53.720 look at the list of names and is the name 1853 01:51:53.760 --> 01:51:56.000 of the person you're there to see on that list? No, 1854 01:51:56.319 --> 01:51:59.159 it never is. And then you got to guess. You 1855 01:51:59.199 --> 01:52:02.520 got to guess which which three digit code should you dial? 1856 01:52:05.079 --> 01:52:07.680 And that's how you're greeted. That's not a greeting. That's 1857 01:52:07.720 --> 01:52:10.600 a challenge. It's not even a video game. It's not 1858 01:52:10.640 --> 01:52:14.840 even a good challenge. But that's how stupid companies will 1859 01:52:14.840 --> 01:52:17.880 greet you because why because they wanted to save on 1860 01:52:17.960 --> 01:52:22.199 a receptionist. Meanwhile, that receptionist can be doing many other 1861 01:52:22.239 --> 01:52:24.720 things and does do many other things if they're good. 1862 01:52:25.279 --> 01:52:28.720 It's called a starter job. Or there are people who 1863 01:52:28.760 --> 01:52:33.399 love it. They're task people, daytime people. But that's where 1864 01:52:33.399 --> 01:52:38.760 it gets stupid when assistants and secretaries get cut and 1865 01:52:38.840 --> 01:52:41.840 you're expecting an executive to fill out the FedEx form 1866 01:52:41.920 --> 01:52:45.119 and to fix the printer, and to deal with the 1867 01:52:45.239 --> 01:52:48.159 challenge of the printer, and to deal with the challenge 1868 01:52:48.159 --> 01:52:50.840 of the copier in addition to all of their other tasks. 1869 01:52:52.319 --> 01:52:56.560 Here's the danger. A person who works on the part 1870 01:52:56.600 --> 01:53:00.439 of their brain that's fixed the printer, the fixer fix 1871 01:53:00.479 --> 01:53:03.640 the printer part of their brain, at the end of 1872 01:53:03.680 --> 01:53:08.159 the day, can think they've really achieved something. They can decide, boy, 1873 01:53:08.239 --> 01:53:10.199 you know, I had a really good day. I got 1874 01:53:10.239 --> 01:53:14.239 stuff done. No, you fix the printer. If they didn't 1875 01:53:14.279 --> 01:53:17.439 do anything that can generate new money for the company, 1876 01:53:17.840 --> 01:53:20.439 if they didn't do anything that can generate profits for 1877 01:53:20.520 --> 01:53:24.920 the company, they haven't done anything. But they fix the printer, 1878 01:53:25.479 --> 01:53:30.760 they fix the copier, and they start to believe that 1879 01:53:30.760 --> 01:53:34.720 that's an achievement and are satisfied. It's much harder to 1880 01:53:34.800 --> 01:53:40.520 come up with new ideas ways to sell things. Selling things, 1881 01:53:40.920 --> 01:53:46.039 that's much harder. But many a company will give their 1882 01:53:46.079 --> 01:53:49.119 workers a false sense of economy, a false sense of 1883 01:53:49.159 --> 01:53:52.640 achievement by letting them think that filling out that FedEx form, 1884 01:53:52.720 --> 01:53:57.920 My god, that's a great day. That's just fantastic. Is 1885 01:53:57.960 --> 01:54:03.439 any of this familiar to you? Experience this? There was 1886 01:54:03.520 --> 01:54:06.920 a time when the guy who came to fix your 1887 01:54:06.960 --> 01:54:12.279 phone in your house, he had a truck and in 1888 01:54:12.279 --> 01:54:20.439 that truck was extra phones, cable, nick knacks to make 1889 01:54:20.479 --> 01:54:23.840 your phone work better, and if you two got along, 1890 01:54:26.439 --> 01:54:28.319 he'd give them to you. He'd give you a couple 1891 01:54:28.439 --> 01:54:30.399 nick knacks, he'd give you an extra cord, he'd give 1892 01:54:30.439 --> 01:54:33.319 you an extra phone. And you loved that guy, and 1893 01:54:33.359 --> 01:54:41.199 you loved that phone company. Now all of that's inventoried, cataloged. 1894 01:54:41.720 --> 01:54:43.119 You say to the guy, Hey, you got one of 1895 01:54:43.159 --> 01:54:45.479 these on the truck. He goes, I used to I 1896 01:54:45.520 --> 01:54:50.720 don't anymore. Lots of false economy. Jim and Staten Island. 1897 01:54:50.760 --> 01:54:53.399 Welcome to the other side of Midnight with Walter Sterling. 1898 01:54:53.479 --> 01:54:55.520 Hello Jim, Hey, Walter. 1899 01:54:56.079 --> 01:55:00.520 I was a printer technician. I repaired those crazy things. 1900 01:55:01.800 --> 01:55:03.000 How hard was that job? 1901 01:55:04.000 --> 01:55:07.760 Ah, dealing with people. People get a little frustrated when 1902 01:55:07.800 --> 01:55:11.000 they're dealing with the printers. I did copies too. But 1903 01:55:11.960 --> 01:55:16.239 a great scene in the movies Office Space when the 1904 01:55:16.279 --> 01:55:19.119 guys that get fired they take the printer out into 1905 01:55:19.199 --> 01:55:22.640 a park and the three take the three guys that 1906 01:55:22.920 --> 01:55:25.720 did software or something, they beat up the printer. 1907 01:55:26.960 --> 01:55:30.119 Two weeks ago, Jim, two weeks ago, I took out 1908 01:55:30.159 --> 01:55:33.199 a printer. I took it to its final resting place 1909 01:55:33.239 --> 01:55:35.920 in my backyard. I beat the hell out of it 1910 01:55:36.279 --> 01:55:39.239 for exactly that reason, and it felt good. Did you 1911 01:55:39.279 --> 01:55:41.199 ever do that, Jim? Or did you have too much 1912 01:55:41.239 --> 01:55:43.600 of a relationship with the printers? Oh? 1913 01:55:43.840 --> 01:55:47.880 No, you know I was intimate. I'm I have relationship 1914 01:55:48.000 --> 01:55:52.399 with inanimate objects. I fixed things, so I can't beat 1915 01:55:52.520 --> 01:55:57.399 I can't do that. So but I know hooking them 1916 01:55:57.479 --> 01:55:59.560 up now is the nightmare because you got to hook 1917 01:55:59.600 --> 01:56:03.760 them up the router now a nightmare, and they frustrate 1918 01:56:03.840 --> 01:56:07.000 you even I struggled with that for hours, and then 1919 01:56:07.039 --> 01:56:09.239 I took it, stuck in it. My son gave it 1920 01:56:09.279 --> 01:56:11.000 to me. I stuck it in the closet. I'm not 1921 01:56:11.000 --> 01:56:12.199 going to use it ever again. 1922 01:56:12.960 --> 01:56:16.439 As an expert on printers, which brand do you like best? 1923 01:56:17.319 --> 01:56:20.479 The old IBM lasers are the best. I would stay 1924 01:56:20.479 --> 01:56:23.000 away from the cartridge stuff, and I would stay away 1925 01:56:23.039 --> 01:56:26.119 from anything that goes through your router because that gives 1926 01:56:26.159 --> 01:56:29.960 them a path into your home for the weird, you know, 1927 01:56:30.159 --> 01:56:34.479 the the sci fi stuff. Once once you give them 1928 01:56:34.520 --> 01:56:38.039 your password to your router to print a piece of paper, 1929 01:56:39.479 --> 01:56:42.520 they control you. So you want to stay away from. 1930 01:56:42.279 --> 01:56:46.479 That, Jim, that is insanely useful advice. And I thank you, 1931 01:56:46.560 --> 01:56:48.760 I really do, thank you. Thanks for listening and thanks 1932 01:56:48.760 --> 01:56:52.119 for calling. Eight hundred eight four eight nine two two two. 1933 01:56:52.119 --> 01:56:55.079 Eight hundred eight four eight nine two to two. Walter Sterling, 1934 01:56:55.439 --> 01:56:59.239 The Other Side of Midnight Red Apple Audio Network eight 1935 01:56:59.319 --> 01:57:03.079 hundred eight eight nine two to two. Eight hundred and 1936 01:57:03.119 --> 01:57:14.479 eight four eight nine to two two. Let's see, let's 1937 01:57:14.520 --> 01:57:15.960 see the. 1938 01:57:23.279 --> 01:57:23.640 I was. 1939 01:57:24.079 --> 01:57:27.199 I'm challenged when I talked to my my gen Zer 1940 01:57:27.960 --> 01:57:30.720 when she says that she and her friends are sharing 1941 01:57:30.760 --> 01:57:34.319 information on their new jobs, about what they do for 1942 01:57:34.439 --> 01:57:38.199 a what they get paid, what they get paid, and 1943 01:57:38.239 --> 01:57:41.279 I'm like, I don't know, it's it seems like a 1944 01:57:41.319 --> 01:57:44.119 really bad idea to me. And I'm thinking about our 1945 01:57:44.239 --> 01:57:47.199 day when you and I go to work, when we 1946 01:57:47.319 --> 01:57:52.600 work on the first shift, the great shift, and we 1947 01:57:52.680 --> 01:57:56.920 are challenged by the fact that it isn't a bad day, 1948 01:57:57.159 --> 01:58:01.119 and it isn't a good day. It's one thing. There'll 1949 01:58:01.159 --> 01:58:03.960 be one thing that bothers us, there'll be one thing 1950 01:58:04.000 --> 01:58:08.000 that makes it a great day. But we generalize, we 1951 01:58:08.079 --> 01:58:10.279 make it to something much bigger than it is, or 1952 01:58:10.359 --> 01:58:13.520 something much less than it is. Right, That's what we're 1953 01:58:13.600 --> 01:58:20.880 up against. That's our challenge. And when so I was 1954 01:58:20.880 --> 01:58:25.000 thinking about today. I had a tough day today. All day, 1955 01:58:25.000 --> 01:58:28.560 it was a tough day. I was at home. I 1956 01:58:28.640 --> 01:58:32.079 was staying in my sister in law's apartment and my 1957 01:58:32.199 --> 01:58:34.880 sister I had the apartment alone, right, I had the 1958 01:58:34.920 --> 01:58:38.000 apartment for the whole day. And then I found out 1959 01:58:38.079 --> 01:58:40.039 that others were going to be staying there, that I 1960 01:58:40.079 --> 01:58:43.199 was going to have to have others staying there, And 1961 01:58:44.439 --> 01:58:46.720 then I had to deal with my sister in law, 1962 01:58:47.640 --> 01:58:52.760 my daughter, my wife, all of whom had deep thoughts 1963 01:58:52.760 --> 01:58:57.000 for me that I should. I'd have to change my bed, 1964 01:58:57.079 --> 01:58:59.439 I'd have to change the bedroom, I'd have to do 1965 01:58:59.560 --> 01:59:04.600 all my gosh, and then I'm like annoyed, Oh, annoyed, 1966 01:59:05.119 --> 01:59:11.159 can't have that. And those are the actual challenges. Those 1967 01:59:11.159 --> 01:59:13.560 are the mysteries of what you and I have to 1968 01:59:13.600 --> 01:59:19.880 deal with when we are dealing with relatives. And what 1969 01:59:19.960 --> 01:59:22.079 I have found best. I don't know how this works 1970 01:59:22.079 --> 01:59:23.800 for you, but what I have found best and my 1971 01:59:23.920 --> 01:59:28.399 relationships is that I'm not actually part of my marriage. 1972 01:59:28.720 --> 01:59:32.279 I view my marriage as none of my business. Let 1973 01:59:32.279 --> 01:59:34.760 her talk to her sister, let her talk to her 1974 01:59:34.800 --> 01:59:37.039 brother about it. But my marriage is really none of 1975 01:59:37.079 --> 01:59:39.399 my business as long as I stay out of my marriage. 1976 01:59:39.880 --> 01:59:45.600 Things go well. There was a situation today in New 1977 01:59:45.680 --> 01:59:48.600 York where there's a group of kids in a special 1978 01:59:48.680 --> 01:59:53.079 section of a school called Eyebrand. And these kids are 1979 01:59:53.119 --> 01:59:56.600 in Eyebrand and you and I don't have any problems. 1980 01:59:56.640 --> 01:59:59.199 You and I don't have any problems. The Eyebrand kids 1981 01:59:59.560 --> 02:00:08.199 are kids who have been physically have physical head injuries 1982 02:00:08.319 --> 02:00:11.560 that you and I can't even imagine what it's like. 1983 02:00:12.199 --> 02:00:18.119 We just can't even imagine what it's like. And the 1984 02:00:19.960 --> 02:00:22.399 let me just see you and I can't even imagine 1985 02:00:22.399 --> 02:00:24.680 what it's like. So there are thirty kids in the 1986 02:00:24.720 --> 02:00:28.000 special group. It's called Eyebrain. I'm sorry, Ibrain, I'm like, 1987 02:00:28.039 --> 02:00:28.680 why am I saying? 1988 02:00:28.720 --> 02:00:29.079 I Bran. 1989 02:00:29.880 --> 02:00:33.680 They're in Eyebrain and they're thirty kids, special ed kids, 1990 02:00:33.680 --> 02:00:37.119 but they have severe brain injuries. But there's a federal 1991 02:00:37.159 --> 02:00:41.800 government subsidy to the school district that takes care of them, 1992 02:00:41.920 --> 02:00:45.159 gets them to school, It gets them to class, it 1993 02:00:45.279 --> 02:00:47.199 makes sure that they have lunch, and make sure that 1994 02:00:47.239 --> 02:00:52.079 they're fine. And that's been so for a couple of years. 1995 02:00:53.199 --> 02:00:57.439 This week it was stopped. This week it was stopped 1996 02:00:58.239 --> 02:01:02.479 and as a result, well, these kids who thought they 1997 02:01:02.479 --> 02:01:05.039 were going to go back to school tomorrow. They're not 1998 02:01:05.119 --> 02:01:10.319 going back to school tomorrow. There's been a bunch of 1999 02:01:10.359 --> 02:01:14.680 lawsuits and what the what was changed as a federal 2000 02:01:14.760 --> 02:01:21.920 judge threw out a I don't know what they call it. 2001 02:01:21.920 --> 02:01:25.000 It was a hold. It was a delay of doing 2002 02:01:25.039 --> 02:01:28.399 anything to the kids until the lawsuit between the parents 2003 02:01:28.760 --> 02:01:33.319 and the school district was stopped and settled between the 2004 02:01:33.399 --> 02:01:36.880 kids and the school district was settled. Until that was settled, 2005 02:01:37.319 --> 02:01:40.640 they were not they didn't have to stop taking care 2006 02:01:40.680 --> 02:01:43.279 of the kids. Well, a federal judge said that pause 2007 02:01:43.399 --> 02:01:45.520 is not okay, it's not all right. We're not going 2008 02:01:45.520 --> 02:01:51.119 to respect that, and instead we're going to cease funding. 2009 02:01:51.640 --> 02:01:54.399 So here are these kids. They're young kids, are like 2010 02:01:54.520 --> 02:01:56.800 eight to twelve, and they're not going to let them 2011 02:01:56.800 --> 02:01:58.479 go back to school. They're not going to have the 2012 02:01:58.520 --> 02:02:01.119 funds to go back to school. First, it has to 2013 02:02:01.159 --> 02:02:06.359 be settled in court. And the delay in enacting that 2014 02:02:07.279 --> 02:02:10.880 was lifted by a federal judge. This is the challenge 2015 02:02:11.119 --> 02:02:14.079 of special ed. If you have a special ed kid, 2016 02:02:14.119 --> 02:02:17.399 if you know a special ed kid, there's a part 2017 02:02:17.520 --> 02:02:20.319 to it that is not discussed, and I'm going to 2018 02:02:20.399 --> 02:02:24.920 discuss it. It's this that special ed kids need special 2019 02:02:25.039 --> 02:02:27.680 funds that for the school to take care of a 2020 02:02:27.680 --> 02:02:31.680 special ed kid. The law says that a school district, 2021 02:02:31.680 --> 02:02:34.800 a public school district. The law says a public school 2022 02:02:34.840 --> 02:02:41.840 district must educate that kid. Then the parent has to 2023 02:02:41.880 --> 02:02:44.720 agree to what it is that they're being educated, how 2024 02:02:44.720 --> 02:02:47.680 they're going to be educated. The school district is only 2025 02:02:47.720 --> 02:02:50.079 obligated you ready for this, to put the kid in 2026 02:02:50.119 --> 02:02:53.560 a classroom. That's all they're obligated to do, is to 2027 02:02:53.600 --> 02:02:57.920 put your kid, a special ed kid with extraordinary needs 2028 02:02:57.960 --> 02:03:02.600 from autism to a praxia in a classroom. That's all 2029 02:03:02.640 --> 02:03:08.079 they're required to do. Meanwhile, if they can't accommodate your kid, 2030 02:03:08.119 --> 02:03:12.920 listen to this, If they can't accommodate your child, they 2031 02:03:12.960 --> 02:03:15.840 have to say. You have to then say you're not 2032 02:03:15.880 --> 02:03:18.920 accommodating my kid. And there's all this form and all 2033 02:03:18.920 --> 02:03:21.720 this paperwork, and these kids are screwed. Part of the 2034 02:03:21.760 --> 02:03:26.079 reason that they're screwed is that accommodating special at kids 2035 02:03:26.199 --> 02:03:28.880 is an enormous task for a school district. It's an 2036 02:03:29.039 --> 02:03:36.199 enormous task, and not every teacher is capable of working 2037 02:03:36.239 --> 02:03:39.840 with these children. Of course, not because every kid who 2038 02:03:39.880 --> 02:03:43.640 has special needs is different. You can say, Gee, they 2039 02:03:43.640 --> 02:03:46.399 have a praxi or they have autism, they have this 2040 02:03:46.520 --> 02:03:49.319 motor skill challenge, they have this reading challenge, they are 2041 02:03:50.520 --> 02:03:55.079 they have dyslexia. But those are all a huge variety, 2042 02:03:55.439 --> 02:03:59.239 a huge variety, a huge scope of those things. And 2043 02:03:59.279 --> 02:04:02.800 you and I are on the air in Chicago on WGN, 2044 02:04:03.239 --> 02:04:06.720 Thank You WGN with Walter Sterling on the other side 2045 02:04:06.760 --> 02:04:09.239 of Midnight at eight hundred and eight four eight nine 2046 02:04:09.279 --> 02:04:11.840 two two two, and what I came to learn with 2047 02:04:11.920 --> 02:04:14.359 my special ed kid? And the minute you have a 2048 02:04:14.399 --> 02:04:16.680 special ed kid, what do you learn? You learn that 2049 02:04:16.760 --> 02:04:20.119 all the other parents have similar challenges and the challenges 2050 02:04:20.159 --> 02:04:23.800 are these the school district says, we're taking care of 2051 02:04:23.840 --> 02:04:26.560 your kid, and then you find out that the school 2052 02:04:26.640 --> 02:04:30.279 district really can't and isn't. And you say, well, we 2053 02:04:30.399 --> 02:04:33.479 want this money to go to this special ed school 2054 02:04:33.880 --> 02:04:36.840 or to homeschooling or to tutoring or whatever it is. 2055 02:04:38.479 --> 02:04:41.119 They have to agree to that. And if they don't 2056 02:04:41.119 --> 02:04:44.920 agree to it, here's the magic word mediation. You find 2057 02:04:44.920 --> 02:04:48.640 yourself with a mediator, You find yourself starting to have mediation, 2058 02:04:49.600 --> 02:04:55.640 and you walk into these wacky settlements that are involve 2059 02:04:55.840 --> 02:05:00.800 enormous amounts of money, incredible amounts of money, and they 2060 02:05:00.840 --> 02:05:06.760 are mysterious in that there are no guidelines, there's no consistency. 2061 02:05:07.359 --> 02:05:10.239 You have to hire a lawyer. If you hire a lawyer, 2062 02:05:10.279 --> 02:05:12.840 you find out that in the settlement, the school district 2063 02:05:12.880 --> 02:05:16.119 paid for the lawyer, and in fact, the lawyer is 2064 02:05:16.239 --> 02:05:19.600 working for the school district. Oh my god, And it 2065 02:05:19.640 --> 02:05:23.840 goes on and on. Eight hundred eight four eight nine 2066 02:05:23.880 --> 02:05:27.520 two two two eight hundred eight four eight nine two two. 2067 02:05:28.600 --> 02:05:33.520 I have a tremendous empathy with these thirty kids in 2068 02:05:33.560 --> 02:05:35.640 the New York City school system that are in a 2069 02:05:35.680 --> 02:05:40.159 special program called Eye Brain that was put on hold 2070 02:05:40.199 --> 02:05:44.640 this week. And these kids, they're not going to school 2071 02:05:44.880 --> 02:05:48.239 until the settlement is made. Until there's a settlement between 2072 02:05:48.239 --> 02:05:55.920 the school district and the kids parents. It's a crappy situation, 2073 02:05:57.359 --> 02:06:06.119 all right, Walter Sterling. Exciting to be with you. And 2074 02:06:08.199 --> 02:06:10.800 now we're starting our work week. This is the special 2075 02:06:10.840 --> 02:06:14.199 time that you and I get where we're getting back 2076 02:06:14.239 --> 02:06:17.399 to work, which is much better than being back with 2077 02:06:17.479 --> 02:06:21.600 the relatives, much better than the existential threat of the dishwasher, 2078 02:06:22.199 --> 02:06:26.960 the existential threat of the teenager who doesn't think, Oh 2079 02:06:27.039 --> 02:06:30.039 I love the cats. I enjoy being with the cats 2080 02:06:30.039 --> 02:06:32.960 so much. You love the cats? Yes, I really do. 2081 02:06:33.319 --> 02:06:36.279 Oh that's fantastic. Are you gonna empty the litter box? 2082 02:06:37.239 --> 02:06:37.520 No? 2083 02:06:37.520 --> 02:06:39.600 No, no, I'm not emptying the litter box. But you said 2084 02:06:39.640 --> 02:06:42.760 you love the cats. I'm not emptying the litter box. 2085 02:06:43.439 --> 02:06:47.000 They're threatened by the litter box. The other side of Midnight, 2086 02:06:47.840 --> 02:06:50.920 Greg in Brooklyn, Welcome to the other side of midnight. 2087 02:06:50.960 --> 02:06:55.479 Hello Greg, it's an honor to speak with the Walter. 2088 02:06:55.640 --> 02:06:58.000 Hope things are well with you this morning, sir. 2089 02:06:58.119 --> 02:07:01.039 I hope things are well with you and Marinie Brooklyn. 2090 02:07:02.039 --> 02:07:02.279 Yeah. 2091 02:07:02.479 --> 02:07:05.000 Yeah, I'm a Franciscan brother of Brooklyn. 2092 02:07:05.119 --> 02:07:05.439 Wow. 2093 02:07:05.479 --> 02:07:08.520 And I lived with the other brothers and my favorite 2094 02:07:08.520 --> 02:07:11.880 house tour, because we all share chores, is to empty 2095 02:07:11.920 --> 02:07:12.760 the dishwasher. 2096 02:07:13.199 --> 02:07:15.039 Now why do you think that is? Do you view 2097 02:07:15.079 --> 02:07:18.000 it as a spiritual event to empty the dishwasher? 2098 02:07:19.000 --> 02:07:22.520 Well, one thing, it is serving my brothers. But the 2099 02:07:22.600 --> 02:07:25.439 other thing is it simply means that I've eaten. 2100 02:07:27.079 --> 02:07:27.199 Ye. 2101 02:07:27.239 --> 02:07:29.000 I don't know if you've I don't know if you've 2102 02:07:29.039 --> 02:07:33.520 considered sharing with your children that they're probably about a 2103 02:07:33.600 --> 02:07:36.359 billion or two billion people who would love to empty 2104 02:07:36.399 --> 02:07:40.279 the dishwasher, because that means they've had nice meals the 2105 02:07:40.359 --> 02:07:42.039 day before or even that day. 2106 02:07:43.039 --> 02:07:45.439 One of the mistakes that I believe people make with 2107 02:07:45.560 --> 02:07:50.680 children is they give them math for an emotional issue 2108 02:07:50.880 --> 02:07:54.079 or a practical issue. So, for example, when a parent says, 2109 02:07:54.399 --> 02:07:56.039 you know you're going to have a time out, I'm 2110 02:07:56.039 --> 02:07:58.359 going to give you a ten minute time out. That's 2111 02:07:58.399 --> 02:08:01.520 insane because no nine year old has a concept of time. 2112 02:08:02.239 --> 02:08:04.640 And if I were to say to a sixteen year old, 2113 02:08:04.920 --> 02:08:08.319 two billion people would give anything to have a dishwasher empty, 2114 02:08:08.359 --> 02:08:11.039 That'll mean nothing to them. But if I said to them, 2115 02:08:11.319 --> 02:08:14.640 but if I said to them, the dishwasher means that 2116 02:08:14.680 --> 02:08:17.840 you have food, that's all I'd have to say, the 2117 02:08:17.880 --> 02:08:22.560 dishwasher means you have food, That would do it. Putting 2118 02:08:22.600 --> 02:08:27.319 it on a grandiose and impossible do envision scale would 2119 02:08:27.319 --> 02:08:29.079 not do it. It's like when people used to say, 2120 02:08:29.119 --> 02:08:32.600 you know, children in China are starving, Well, they didn't 2121 02:08:32.600 --> 02:08:38.760 know where China was. Sure right now, a Franciscan friar, 2122 02:08:38.880 --> 02:08:41.079 what do you guys make bread? 2123 02:08:42.960 --> 02:08:47.279 No, we have ministries. Our congregation has been here since 2124 02:08:47.319 --> 02:08:51.199 eighteen fifty eight, and we've been in education, so in 2125 02:08:51.319 --> 02:08:55.039 high schools, grammar schools. I'm over at beautiful Saint Francis 2126 02:08:55.079 --> 02:08:57.760 College in downtown Brooklyn. That's my ministry. 2127 02:08:57.760 --> 02:08:58.000 There. 2128 02:08:58.880 --> 02:09:02.000 You got a good assignment, very very. 2129 02:09:01.800 --> 02:09:04.079 Good as Sami. Yeah, I love my work. I say 2130 02:09:04.159 --> 02:09:06.520 thank God for Monday. I know it's Monday morning, so 2131 02:09:06.600 --> 02:09:08.079 I say thank God for Monday. 2132 02:09:08.479 --> 02:09:11.279 I say thank God for you listening.

It's It's 2168 02:11:32.680 --> 02:11:37.840 just Us on WGN KMOX, Oh my god, WABC in 2169 02:11:37.920 --> 02:11:41.159 New York, Katieka. This is what a big time radio 2170 02:11:41.199 --> 02:11:44.600 show is supposed to sound like. Sort of almost, But 2171 02:11:44.680 --> 02:11:46.600 I like talking to you. It's the reason I do 2172 02:11:46.640 --> 02:11:48.279 this show is that you and I get to talk. 2173 02:11:48.640 --> 02:11:50.920 And I was sharing you with you the I had 2174 02:11:50.960 --> 02:11:53.640 a difficult weekend. I had a difficult weekend because I 2175 02:11:53.680 --> 02:11:56.439 had to deal with in laws, which is never good 2176 02:11:56.439 --> 02:11:59.520 for me. I had to deal with the challenges of 2177 02:11:59.640 --> 02:12:02.039 having a special needs kid and we have to start 2178 02:12:02.119 --> 02:12:06.159 school soon and it's going to be homeschool. And when 2179 02:12:06.199 --> 02:12:10.600 I first had a homeschool her, I was very nervous 2180 02:12:10.840 --> 02:12:13.359 because she's a social animal. This is a kid who 2181 02:12:13.520 --> 02:12:16.039 likes to hang out with people. She likes. She will 2182 02:12:16.039 --> 02:12:18.439 be your friend. If you meet her, she will be 2183 02:12:18.600 --> 02:12:23.279 your friend. And it turns out that this made her 2184 02:12:23.319 --> 02:12:29.159 more social that by homeschooling her, she became more social 2185 02:12:29.760 --> 02:12:33.600 because she had downtime, she had recovery time. She was 2186 02:12:33.680 --> 02:12:38.680 able to take it easy and deal with the fact 2187 02:12:38.720 --> 02:12:42.319 that she's although social is a type of introvert that 2188 02:12:42.479 --> 02:12:46.279 needs to be alone, and at least she knows it. 2189 02:12:46.279 --> 02:12:49.079 It's interesting a lot of introverts, don't. They think there's 2190 02:12:49.119 --> 02:12:52.159 something wrong with them. You know, you and I work 2191 02:12:52.199 --> 02:12:54.439 at this time of day because we don't want to 2192 02:12:54.439 --> 02:12:57.079 be bothered with people. We don't want to know other people. 2193 02:12:57.520 --> 02:13:01.159 This is who we are. We're not group thinkers, we're 2194 02:13:01.159 --> 02:13:04.960 not brainstormers. That's not what we do. We sit in 2195 02:13:05.000 --> 02:13:07.720 the back of the cave. Give me the problem, Let 2196 02:13:07.760 --> 02:13:09.359 me sit in the back of the cave. I will 2197 02:13:09.399 --> 02:13:12.600 solve the problem and I will bring it back out. 2198 02:13:12.960 --> 02:13:20.159 That's what we do. But you put me in a 2199 02:13:20.199 --> 02:13:23.359 group think situation. You put me in a brainstorming situation. 2200 02:13:23.439 --> 02:13:27.880 I can't do that. I'll shut down the minute I'm 2201 02:13:27.880 --> 02:13:29.720 in with a group and I hear somebody at the 2202 02:13:29.720 --> 02:13:33.399 front of the group say I believe in team players. Really, 2203 02:13:34.439 --> 02:13:37.000 I don't want anything to do with team players. I 2204 02:13:37.079 --> 02:13:41.680 want to deal with individual thinkers, innovators. Does that make sense. 2205 02:13:42.319 --> 02:13:45.159 I don't want to know about team players. I don't 2206 02:13:45.159 --> 02:13:47.960 want to. I don't want to people. I'm not on 2207 02:13:48.039 --> 02:13:52.479 a team. I'm not Travis. I'm not Travis. I'm not 2208 02:13:52.560 --> 02:13:57.600 on a team. That's not who we are. We get 2209 02:13:57.600 --> 02:14:00.760 to be this. We get to be working the great shift, 2210 02:14:00.960 --> 02:14:04.920 the late shift. We get to take our problems to 2211 02:14:04.960 --> 02:14:07.039 the back of the cave. We get to sit alone 2212 02:14:07.359 --> 02:14:10.000 and we need the alone time. And that's what my 2213 02:14:10.039 --> 02:14:13.880 special needs kid has. She gets alone time because she 2214 02:14:14.039 --> 02:14:18.920 homeschools in her bedroom with her laptop on the zoom. 2215 02:14:19.079 --> 02:14:23.880 That's what works for her. And they, and you know 2216 02:14:23.920 --> 02:14:26.680 who they are, are just figuring that out. They're just 2217 02:14:26.720 --> 02:14:31.000 figuring it out that there are different types of introverts, 2218 02:14:31.199 --> 02:14:34.640 they're different types of extroverts. There are people who are 2219 02:14:34.680 --> 02:14:39.479 both introverts and extroverts. Don't even want to know about them, 2220 02:14:39.680 --> 02:14:44.520 but it's all different. Those are the challenges. And that's 2221 02:14:44.560 --> 02:14:48.920 my recommendation to you, my friend. My recommendation to you 2222 02:14:49.600 --> 02:14:51.840 is that if you want to binge. I'm not a 2223 02:14:51.840 --> 02:14:56.079 binge TV watcher. I don't like to binge TV. Whenever 2224 02:14:56.119 --> 02:14:58.039 I hear somebody say, well, you know, I binge that 2225 02:14:58.079 --> 02:15:00.399 show on bitch, I always think they're weak they have 2226 02:15:00.439 --> 02:15:02.239 a weakness. What do you mean you binge that show? 2227 02:15:02.319 --> 02:15:09.520 What's that about? But this show Star City whoa it's 2228 02:15:09.600 --> 02:15:12.920 not really a science fiction show. It's an alternative history 2229 02:15:12.960 --> 02:15:18.680 show where the Russians won the space race. They won 2230 02:15:18.760 --> 02:15:23.159 the space race, and what happened in Star City, which 2231 02:15:23.199 --> 02:15:27.720 is there Cape Canaveral, what happened after that with the engineers, 2232 02:15:27.880 --> 02:15:31.239 with the scientists, with the security people in Star City 2233 02:15:31.279 --> 02:15:36.760 in Russia. It's fascinating. No Stars, it captured me for 2234 02:15:36.960 --> 02:15:41.600 eight episodes. It was very unusual. It was very unusual. 2235 02:15:41.680 --> 02:15:45.159 So anyway, it's a great show. I recommend that. And 2236 02:15:45.199 --> 02:15:46.760 then the other thing that you and I have to 2237 02:15:46.800 --> 02:15:51.000 consider is how much of our day do we spend 2238 02:15:52.000 --> 02:15:56.039 scrolling through TikTok? How many hours of our day do 2239 02:15:56.119 --> 02:15:58.199 we go through TikTok? How much of our time do 2240 02:15:58.279 --> 02:16:01.079 we do that? And we never discuss, we never admit 2241 02:16:01.159 --> 02:16:05.439 it when in doubt we're scrolling through TikTok. It's a 2242 02:16:05.479 --> 02:16:10.039 sad life, but it's true. And I'm always fascinated by 2243 02:16:10.039 --> 02:16:13.640 the TikTok store. In the TikTok store, I have bought 2244 02:16:13.640 --> 02:16:17.079 things I'm ashamed to admit. I have bought the drain opener, 2245 02:16:17.640 --> 02:16:21.439 that powder that instantly drains the entire street in the sewer. 2246 02:16:21.640 --> 02:16:27.359 I've bought that the interesting insuls that are multiple color 2247 02:16:27.640 --> 02:16:32.520 that have little spikes in them. Those work. I've wasted 2248 02:16:32.559 --> 02:16:40.000 a lifetime getting custom orthotics and the TikTok store insuls. 2249 02:16:40.040 --> 02:16:43.040 They are actually the best things that I've bought. That's 2250 02:16:43.079 --> 02:16:48.680 been my experience. Other things not so good. Nothing has 2251 02:16:48.680 --> 02:16:52.360 stopped my mail cat from p if you had that experience. 2252 02:16:52.559 --> 02:16:55.799 Nothing has stopped my mail cat from P. It's impossible. 2253 02:16:56.399 --> 02:16:59.920 We have done everything. We've done the diffusers, the abromas, 2254 02:17:00.719 --> 02:17:03.520 the different kind of litter, and we've done the different 2255 02:17:03.600 --> 02:17:07.360 kind of boxes, things that calm the cat, you name it. 2256 02:17:08.040 --> 02:17:13.840 Nothing has worked. Nothing. You've given me great suggestions. I 2257 02:17:13.840 --> 02:17:18.959 am grateful for your suggestions, but so far nothing has worked. 2258 02:17:20.479 --> 02:17:22.360 Shame on us. And what else? 2259 02:17:22.399 --> 02:17:22.520 Oh? 2260 02:17:22.559 --> 02:17:28.680 What did we learn tonight? We learned that Apple planned 2261 02:17:28.719 --> 02:17:32.200 obsolescence with their iPhones. We knew this, but how they 2262 02:17:32.200 --> 02:17:35.399 did it was interesting to the degree where other countries, 2263 02:17:35.520 --> 02:17:39.319 not our country, protected their citizens from what Apple did 2264 02:17:39.360 --> 02:17:43.719 to them. Apple forced them to buy thousand dollars phones 2265 02:17:43.719 --> 02:17:48.159 for absolutely no reason at all, no reason at all, 2266 02:17:49.559 --> 02:17:53.840 but our country, no problem that you know you you 2267 02:17:54.040 --> 02:17:56.319 make the phone hot. Oh that means you need a 2268 02:17:56.360 --> 02:17:59.559 new phone immediately. Yes, we have a new Orange phone. 2269 02:17:59.600 --> 02:18:02.000 Get the old Orange phone. It's a thousand bucks here 2270 02:18:02.040 --> 02:18:08.680 it is, but our country not protecting us. France they 2271 02:18:08.920 --> 02:18:14.000 find them a million bucks, fine, another million. But you see, 2272 02:18:14.319 --> 02:18:18.799 Apple six trillion dollars in the bank doesn't affect them 2273 02:18:18.799 --> 02:18:25.120 at all.
