WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:02.319 Running a strange program, y'all. 2 00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:07.000 This is the other side of Midnight Weekend Review with 3 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:08.199 Walter Sterling. 4 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:31.359 The collectivist form of New York City has replaced frigid 5 00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:37.359 Ruggedy in Dvigilalism has great synat for a sag. 6 00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.280 Anyone can make it in New York. 7 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.960 And they can also make it anywhere. 8 00:00:45.079 --> 00:01:00.960 It doesn't matter. You voted for this, and now you're 9 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:02.840 gonna get it good. 10 00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:32.000 Have you seen the Grand Canyon? Have you seen it 11 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.799 up close? Have you gone there? We were just listening 12 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.439 to some information about the great mysteries, the great mysteries 13 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.239 of the Grand Canyon. How there are sealed iron doors 14 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.680 to caves, to passageways that are in the Grand Canyon 15 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.079 that we're not allowed to go to and haven't been 16 00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.200 allowed to go to over one hundred years. And the 17 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:56.400 hoppy Indians who used to occupy the Grand Canyon would 18 00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.799 not tell us what was in those caves. They would 19 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.040 not reveal to us for decades what they saw down there, 20 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.560 and then it got sealed up. But I urge you 21 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.840 take a look at that river, look at the river 22 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.639 that goes through the Grand Canyon. And when the tour 23 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:20.560 guys say that river cut these rocks and made the 24 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.000 Grand Canyon. Does that make any sense to you? It 25 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.120 looks like a stream. It looks that you can walk 26 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:32.000 across it. A river that you can walk across. Did 27 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.639 not cut the Grand Canyon. Something else cut it. Do 28 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.639 you know what it really looks like. It looks like 29 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.759 it was mind. The Grand Canyon looks like it was mind. Now, 30 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:50.280 who would have mined it? The Sumarians? The Sumerians minded? 31 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:56.439 And what for gold? It used to be a gold mine. 32 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.759 That river didn't do that. It was a little stream, 33 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.400 little stream. This is one of the great mysteries of 34 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.919 our time. Exactly what formed the Grand Canyon? And what 35 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.280 is hidden behind the iron doors, the iron gates to 36 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:17.520 the passageways under the Grand Canyon? And why are these 37 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.240 huge sections of the Grand Canyon, like about a third 38 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.240 of it? You and I can't visit. We're not allowed 39 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.599 to visit. One of the mysteries on the other side 40 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.080 of midnight. Walter Sterling lets you and I talk at 41 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.360 any time. Eight hundred eight four eight nine two two 42 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.120 two eight hundred eight four eight nine two two two. 43 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.639 Now listen, I got to tell you about the Worldwide 44 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:47.159 News Network. It's a new best in class global top 45 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:51.960 of the hour news service built by Lee Harris, also 46 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.800 our musical director. One of the few these days this 47 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.960 worldwise news network, So one of the few these days. 48 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.080 Man twenty This is live twenty four to seven by 49 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.360 a full staff of producers, anchors, correspondents. Do you realize 50 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.039 now there's been a major shift in a major significant 51 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.919 summer snack food. This is a scandal, This is a mystery. 52 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.120 You go when you get one of those drumstick ice 53 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:22.439 cream cones, it's called a drumstick, and that was one 54 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.519 of those ice creams, those novelty creams, which is what 55 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.920 they call it in the industry. It's one of those 56 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.160 novelty ice creams that your mother didn't want you to get. 57 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.240 You wanted to get the drumstick ice cream cone. She 58 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.639 didn't want you to get it. And the answer was 59 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.319 always vague about why she didn't want you to get it. 60 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:41.920 She thought it was fine for you to get a popsicle, 61 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.560 a creamsicle, but not the drumstick. Well, it turns out 62 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:51.800 your mother was probably right. Science shows, and remember we 63 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.600 always go with science, we don't go with rumor or 64 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:04.120 wet markets. Who knew what that was? The drumstick Novelty 65 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:11.079 ice cream has zero milk in it has zero cream 66 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:16.319 in it. It is a pure corn syrupy chemical confection, 67 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.199 absolutely nothing. And the reason for that besides it's cheaper 68 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.839 than actually using cream and actually needing to refrigerate in 69 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.920 a certain way, the reason for that is it won't melt. 70 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.519 Now it gets even more exciting. Unlike other products that 71 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:35.720 are designed in the ice cream cabinet to not melt well, 72 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:40.959 this one doesn't even melt under light and heat. So 73 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:46.000 the drumstick ice cream cone doesn't melt under any conditions 74 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.879 and therefore probably not ideal. Probably not an ideal food. 75 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:54.680 It's disappointing because it always looked good. But when each 76 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.000 layer of something tastes the same, the chocolate, the nuts, 77 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.000 the cream, the cone, When all all of that tastes 78 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:05.319 the same, probably a good clue that you don't need 79 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.439 to eat it. Walter Sterling The Other side of Midnight 80 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:10.639 on the Red Apple Audio Networks. 81 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.639 This is the other side of Midnight. Weekend Review with 82 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:25.839 Walter Sterling. This is the other side of Midnight with 83 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.560 Walter Sterling. Weekend Review. 84 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.160 If you want to go to wiggl or fight an 85 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.160 alligator in a swamp. Then the other side of midnight. 86 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.480 What do you want? It's Florida Story. 87 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:50.959 I'm James Parker and this is Florida Story. Oh thank you, 88 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.319 thank you so much. You are so time for our 89 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.600 first Florida story. We're going to Miami and in this 90 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:01.079 one is a story of a guy who, like many people, 91 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.519 lost his job when the pandemic hit. And so now 92 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.199 he's an unemployed mechanic in his mid thirties and he 93 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.360 applies for some assistance from one of the stimulus programs, 94 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.360 gets a se eight hundred dollars check. Once he gets 95 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.439 through the pandemic, he applies for the forgiveness paperwork. He 96 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.360 actually gets a letter back saying that hey, don't worry 97 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.959 about it, that money he's been forgiven. Going on about 98 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.759 your business. Fast forward to the current day, Flora man 99 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.480 win's a lottery, not the big lottery, but this ticket 100 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.439 is a scratch off worth ten thousand dollars. So he 101 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.839 stands it with his phone confirms, Hey, I really did win. 102 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.240 He goes to pick up his check at the nearest 103 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.279 lottery office and they say, oh, I'm sorry, sir, that 104 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.360 check is being withheld because you owe the government money. 105 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:45.759 That's what's happened to several Floridians. 106 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:46.639 Chung is not a loon. 107 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.199 TV stations all over the state of highlighted the same 108 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.079 story with the same scenario. Lotto winners are flagged at 109 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.600 the lotto office and then cannot get a hold of 110 00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.600 the Department of Economic Opportunities. Something that was so exciting 111 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.279 became an absolute namare. According to the Florida Lottery, from 112 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.079 January twenty twenty two to January twenty twenty three, close 113 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.639 to ten thousand a lot of winners statewide received a 114 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.360 letter like this claiming they owe a majority of them 115 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.720 owing to the Department of Economic Opportunity. 116 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:19.079 Oh man, what a bummer it has to be for 117 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.600 that guy. I mean, it's hard enough that he was unemployed, 118 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.759 he went through the pandemic, and then he got help, 119 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:25.399 and I he finds out he owes some money, and 120 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.399 then he finally wins gets a break. He wins some 121 00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.439 money on a lottery ticket, and he doesn't even get 122 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:30.920 all of that money, and then he's going to be 123 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:34.519 delayed finally getting the air corrected. That dude's just flat 124 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.799 out of luck. I mean, he did win ten grand 125 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.639 from the lottery, but other than that, he's he's got 126 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:45.759 a pretty unlucky go of it. For our next Florida story, 127 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:49.200 we're going to Vero Beach, and in Vero Beach, we 128 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.120 have a guy who he has a little bit of 129 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.159 a checkered pass. Then that will come into play in 130 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.639 just a second. But he's not doing a good job 131 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.240 keeping up his house. He's not in like a super 132 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.159 nice neighborhood. In fact, he's in a pretty crummy neighborhood. 133 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:06.399 And even in the crummy surroundings of this economically depressed neighborhood, 134 00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.759 his house is just got trash everywhere. It sort of 135 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.519 looks like Sandford Sons almost, And some of the neighbors 136 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.759 have called code enforcement on him, and he actually got 137 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.039 a citation saying, listen, if you don't get this all 138 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:21.799 picked up, you're gonna get fined. And you know you're 139 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.320 gonna to pay hundreds of dollars for this. And so, 140 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.840 in his attempt to be less of a mess of 141 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.399 a human being, he piles a bunch of the trash 142 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:36.639 in his backyard and starts a little fire. And the 143 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:38.960 fact that he's making it on floors stores kind of 144 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.360 let you know it's not going to remain a little 145 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:45.519 fire is it WPBF. 146 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.679 And the stuff then bounced from the fire pit to 147 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.559 a boat that has a boat, and the boat transferred 148 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.519 to the house, and then the house just got flee engulfed. 149 00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:56.480 Deputies tried to get Guy away from his home. When 150 00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.679 they said, he did the complete opposite. He locked himself 151 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.679 in side for about ten minutes. Investigators soon realized who 152 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.639 this man was. Guy was wanted for violating his probations 153 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.080 on felony charges, including burglary. 154 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.759 I'd recognize him from previous encounters, so I knew he 155 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.559 had warrants, and I knew we had other deputies looking 156 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:16.000 out for him. 157 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.399 Deputies tell us Guy then tried to run out of 158 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.559 his home and away from deputies before he was caught. 159 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:23.759 He was on cooperative. He was making excuses. He gave 160 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.080 the other deputy a different name when they responded there. 161 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.000 I think he says his name was Dylan, which is 162 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.159 not his name, and then he said he just couldn't 163 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.039 breathe that's why he tried to run away from the home, 164 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:33.240 which was not the case. 165 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.320 All right. One thing I really love about that story 166 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:39.679 is you gotta imagine being him in that ten minute 167 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.720 span from when his life's already been a wreck that 168 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.320 he's scared to see cops. But his house is such 169 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.320 a mess that he has to, you know, burn piles 170 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.360 of crap, and he even screws that up. He burns 171 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:51.799 his boat. I don't even have a boat, and this 172 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.840 idiot burns his burns his house down. But you know 173 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.639 things are so bad he's running away and the cops 174 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.879 are showing up. And that ten minutes where he has 175 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.559 to go back into the house and lock himself inside. 176 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:03.720 What goes through your head? 177 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:03.799 Like? 178 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.600 What are my options? How long can I stay in 179 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.639 a burning house? Well? Ten minute seems to be about 180 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.000 the max. Uh, how am I gonna get out of this? 181 00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.120 You can't? So what does he do for ten minutes? 182 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.639 Just enjoy his last ten minutes of smoky freedom? I guess, 183 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:22.679 hold my beer far Next Florida story, we are going 184 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.639 to Daytona where you have a guy who you know 185 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:29.559 you would think by listening to Flora stories, this happens 186 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:33.440 every single day in Florida, And I promise it's rare. 187 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.000 I know. I said that about thirty episodes ago, and 188 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.840 there's been just a huge rash of alligator attacks, but 189 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.600 as much as we like to make jokes about, you know, 190 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:47.320 Florida gators. It's still, mathematically speaking, fairly rare. However, it's 191 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.600 getting harder and harder to say that there's a man 192 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.639 over here in the Daytona area who here's a noise 193 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.000 on his porch. He thinks it's the neighborhood kids knocking 194 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.440 on the door of Fast and now you can, you know, Johnny, 195 00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:00.200 come out and play. So he thinks of some neighborhood kids. 196 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.399 It turns out it's a gator. And I don't mean 197 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.320 like one of these cute little baby gators. It's like 198 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.639 three feet long. This thing is seven and a half 199 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:12.639 feet long. So just imagine Lebron James laying down plus 200 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:17.120 another six or so inches right, and it jumps up 201 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.720 grabs him by the thigh. Okay, so now we have 202 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.039 a situation where I don't know what your porch is like, 203 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.440 but there is there a man eating dinosaur on it 204 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.080 that immediately latches onto your thigh. So this guy goes 205 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.200 into you get this Florida adrenaline rush, and so in 206 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.279 the Florida man in Florida mode knows how to grab 207 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.720 an alligator by the very front of the nose and 208 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.799 he opens the mouth, pushes the gator off, shuts the door, 209 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.600 runs inside, and calls nine to one one. Cops come 210 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.600 and they find the gator under the trailer by the house. 211 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.799 The Florida Wildlife guys come out and trap the gator 212 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.240 almost immediately. Florida man goes to the hospital. He's gonna 213 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.120 be okay. And I'm starting to be bothered by this 214 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:06.200 Florida custom. I say custom. It's literally a law in 215 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.519 Florida that you're not allowed to kill gators unless it's 216 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.759 a direct threat to your life. So you mean, even 217 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.240 after the gator bites the Florida man, when y'all find 218 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.639 it under the trailer next to the house, he doesn't 219 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.399 get to shoot and kill it, or when you catch it, 220 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.200 he doesn't get to like kill it and eat it 221 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.200 or have it or say it bit it. Come on, 222 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:29.840 can't you like infer some partial ownership to a wildlife 223 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.519 after it bites you, you know, like a little payback 224 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.879 or something. At least get some sausage out of it 225 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:40.120 or a pair of boots. A right for our next 226 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:42.519 Florida story. This is the first time I've even heard 227 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:47.840 of this town. It's called Southwest Ranches, Southwest Ranches, and 228 00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:52.200 what we have is a wedding and on someone's most 229 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.519 special night of couples getting together and then make their 230 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:57.240 vows in front of God and family and their closest friends, 231 00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:01.639 and then they have a kick ass adding reception. They've 232 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.679 got DJ Campo there, his real name's Jonathan, but he's 233 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:08.360 spinning it and he's killing it, and the dance floor 234 00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:10.480 is hopping and it's a little too loud, so he 235 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:12.840 gets some noise complaints in the cops call, and the 236 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:15.000 owner of the venue, who happens to be on site, 237 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.039 tells him, Hey, Campo, DJ Campbo, you got to turn 238 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.120 it down. He's like, I don't know if I can. Man. 239 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.080 You know, the roof is on fire. We gotta let 240 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.279 it burn. I'm serious. We've already got a call from 241 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.039 the cops. It can't see turned it down. But there's 242 00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:28.960 another call from the cops. So the owner says, if 243 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:30.840 I have to tell you again, we're just shutting this 244 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.559 whole thing down, And of course there's another call from 245 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.320 the cops and he tells DJ Campo to turn it down, 246 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:41.080 and DJ Campo says, no, I'm gonna finish my reception 247 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.519 and the owner pulls out a gun and says, no, 248 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.559 you're not. And so, in the classic rock paper scissors 249 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:56.600 esque version of turntables versus Glock, Glock wins and I 250 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.679 think the cops agree. They arrested the dude. He's being 251 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.440 charged and brandishing a handguy and waving around it. I mean, 252 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:04.480 it's awful because yeah, there's a bunch of people who 253 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:07.399 caught it on video too. So you know, my wedding, 254 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:10.000 it was beautiful, it was great, it was perfect. It 255 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.000 didn't have anything fun like this. And I don't know 256 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.840 that it's part of me. It's kind of envious. I 257 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.559 know that's really stupid. But I've been doing like four 258 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:22.399 years of Florida Stories. Okay, so it's making me stupid. 259 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:27.480 I'm James Parker. Florida Stories is a spring rock production 260 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:29.679 on the Red Apple Audio Networks. 261 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.240 Well, the whole thing descends into the vapid viscosity of 262 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:33.720 a dud. 263 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:40.039 You and I are on WGN in Chicago.

I happen to hate cell phones because 377 00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:36.920 that's that's what always happens. When there was a landline. 378 00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:43.759 That never happened. Right when there was a landline, I'd 379 00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.240 say goodbye hello and that would be the end of it. 380 00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:48.920 Now with cell phones, what do we have? Cell phone 381 00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.440 calls and with the word hello Hello. It's not a 382 00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.440 good system. It's not a better system. The only one 383 00:22:55.440 --> 00:23:04.400 of the few things that's better is that one of 384 00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:09.079 the few things that's better is that they're no longer 385 00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:13.599 these insane charges for long distance calls. Until very recently, 386 00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:15.319 if you wanted to make a long distance call, do 387 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.119 you remember, it was a cost of fortune. You waited 388 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:20.960 till after seven o'clock at night, and if you were 389 00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:24.200 a student, you did that trick of your parents would 390 00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:29.079 call you collect and you'd say no, and then they'd 391 00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:31.400 call again or something. But we worked it out so 392 00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:34.119 it was always free, or we worked it out so 393 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.440 that if I call you, I'll make it a collect call, 394 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:40.400 you won't accept the collect call, and then I'll know 395 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:43.559 you have arrived. That was the code. That's what every 396 00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.920 college kid did when they went away. They would make 397 00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:55.279 collect calls and their parents wouldn't accept it, and then 398 00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:56.839 you'd know that they were home. Yeah, that's what we 399 00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:58.400 used to have to do. That's what we had to 400 00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.599 resort to. It was not easy. That's the only thing 401 00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:04.359
