00:00:04.750 --> 00:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>This is The Other Side of Midnight.

2
00:00:07.379 --> 00:00:09.140
<v Speaker 2>They're running a strange program, y'all.

3
00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:10.679
<v Speaker 3>With Walter Sterling.

4
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:26.239
<v Speaker 4>Sterling, Sterling, Sterling.

5
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.480
<v Speaker 5>He's more interesting than curling.

6
00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:33.340
<v Speaker 6>He's on your radio every night.

7
00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Walter Sterling, Sterling, Sterling.

8
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 7>Walter Sterling is live on the other side of midnight

9
00:00:40.659 --> 00:00:43.380
<v Speaker 7>for all you midnight misfits.

10
00:00:43.909 --> 00:00:46.609
<v Speaker 3>Sterling, Sterling, Sterling.

11
00:00:46.630 --> 00:00:53.490
<v Speaker 6>You dial, you won't be twirling when Walter Sterling's on

12
00:00:53.590 --> 00:00:55.270
<v Speaker 6>your radio.

13
00:00:55.490 --> 00:00:58.530
<v Speaker 1>It's the other side of midnight.

14
00:01:01.579 --> 00:01:07.189
<v Speaker 5>Eddie Arrigan, Eddie Dragon, a broadcaster from New Mexico, a

15
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.909
<v Speaker 5>great friend of the show, a world-class broadcaster whose voice

16
00:01:11.989 --> 00:01:16.189
<v Speaker 5>is way better than mine. Eddie Dragon has information about

17
00:01:16.269 --> 00:01:22.250
<v Speaker 5>Dolly Parton's passing, a horrible story about a great life. Eddie,

18
00:01:22.349 --> 00:01:23.989
<v Speaker 5>welcome to the other side of midnight.

19
00:01:24.629 --> 00:01:28.030
<v Speaker 2>Walter, good evening. Thanks for having me. Yeah, wall-to-wall coverage.

20
00:01:28.790 --> 00:01:32.950
<v Speaker 2>every channel, every newscaster, every memory that can be cast

21
00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:38.150
<v Speaker 2>about Dolly Parton. And it is kind of crazy how

22
00:01:38.510 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 2>we have this, you know, collective consciousness of when an

23
00:01:42.659 --> 00:01:45.280
<v Speaker 2>iconic figure, you know, passes and we need to pause

24
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.540
<v Speaker 2>for just a moment because tonight's story is about death

25
00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>memory and the possibility that that consciousness may be bigger

26
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.420
<v Speaker 2>than we understand, not just on the TV, not just

27
00:01:58.459 --> 00:02:01.980
<v Speaker 2>on the radio, just everywhere, right? It's omnipresent. But on

28
00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:05.879
<v Speaker 2>a day like today, this hits differently. Dolly Parton, 80

29
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:10.909
<v Speaker 2>years young, died today, according to statements from her family

30
00:02:10.930 --> 00:02:15.210
<v Speaker 2>and representatives. She was a global music icon, songwriter, storyteller.

31
00:02:16.449 --> 00:02:20.830
<v Speaker 2>Through efforts such as the Imagination Library, a presence in

32
00:02:20.849 --> 00:02:25.050
<v Speaker 2>the lives of people, she would Never personally meet, but

33
00:02:25.110 --> 00:02:27.469
<v Speaker 2>yet she's had an impact on so many people. You

34
00:02:27.509 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 2>and me, Walter, right? We know her songs. I mean,

35
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.539
<v Speaker 2>50 number one hits. I mean, think about that. That's

36
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of crazy. I mean, reports say she died in

37
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.500
<v Speaker 2>Nashville after a brief battle with cancer, surrounded by loved ones.

38
00:02:39.539 --> 00:02:43.939
<v Speaker 2>Her last post was just four days ago. But maybe

39
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:48.830
<v Speaker 2>the strange thing about famous people, Walter, dying is that

40
00:02:48.909 --> 00:02:53.229
<v Speaker 2>we resist believing it, right? We can't believe that she's gone. Um,

41
00:02:53.550 --> 00:02:57.789
<v Speaker 2>not because her fame makes anybody or anyone immortal for

42
00:02:57.830 --> 00:03:00.990
<v Speaker 2>that matter, but because certain people become part of the

43
00:03:01.030 --> 00:03:03.810
<v Speaker 2>wallpaper of our lives, how we look at them, how they,

44
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.539
<v Speaker 2>you know, weave themselves into our lives. And Dolly really

45
00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:10.659
<v Speaker 2>felt permanent, right? She was iconic. That's what we get,

46
00:03:10.740 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, like a song you could always turn on

47
00:03:13.419 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>like that bright voice that you would hear. I mean,

48
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 2>it still sounds as young as when it was first

49
00:03:19.099 --> 00:03:22.129
<v Speaker 2>submitted from her mouth. I mean, think about this. You

50
00:03:22.189 --> 00:03:25.969
<v Speaker 2>will always be somewhere out there laughing, singing, reminding us

51
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>to be kinder, braver, and maybe a little bit more

52
00:03:29.939 --> 00:03:32.580
<v Speaker 2>fabulous as she was. And then the news comes. And

53
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.639
<v Speaker 2>for a second, we say it's just not possible, right?

54
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>But it is possible. And that's the one thing none

55
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.409
<v Speaker 2>of us gets to outrun. Death gets us all. Which

56
00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:49.860
<v Speaker 2>brings me to a story that lives in the soft

57
00:03:49.939 --> 00:03:53.539
<v Speaker 2>candlelit corners of the internet, the kind that you hear

58
00:03:53.689 --> 00:03:56.310
<v Speaker 2>at two in the morning right now here, the other

59
00:03:56.349 --> 00:03:59.870
<v Speaker 2>side of midnight when the house is quiet, phone is

60
00:03:59.909 --> 00:04:02.469
<v Speaker 2>glowing in your hand, and you begin to wonder whether

61
00:04:02.590 --> 00:04:05.909
<v Speaker 2>death really is a door, a gateway, or merely a

62
00:04:05.949 --> 00:04:08.969
<v Speaker 2>wall that we have not yet figured out how to

63
00:04:09.069 --> 00:04:11.530
<v Speaker 2>see through, right? This is one of those stories. And

64
00:04:11.569 --> 00:04:15.819
<v Speaker 2>it begins back in 1980. A psychiatrist, which I know well,

65
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.129
<v Speaker 2>named Dr. Brian Weiss, And this was not some sort

66
00:04:20.209 --> 00:04:25.470
<v Speaker 2>of strange fringe character out there in some robe taking

67
00:04:25.509 --> 00:04:29.100
<v Speaker 2>appointments between crystal sails and moon water blessings or any

68
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.920
<v Speaker 2>other sort of mystic stuff. This was a Columbia-educated Yale

69
00:04:32.939 --> 00:04:38.660
<v Speaker 2>Medical School, conventionally trained. He became the chairman of psychiatry

70
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:41.740
<v Speaker 2>on Mount Sinai, just down the street here. And this

71
00:04:41.779 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 2>is the man of charts, diagnoses, medications, evidence, the kind

72
00:04:44.540 --> 00:04:46.899
<v Speaker 2>of doctor who probably heard the phrase past life and

73
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.319
<v Speaker 2>immediately reached For the nearest exit. I mean, he didn't

74
00:04:49.339 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 2>believe in that. Past lives?

75
00:04:50.579 --> 00:04:50.800
<v Speaker 3>What?

76
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>What is that? Shirley MacLaine type of thing. Reincarnation. Messages

77
00:04:57.139 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 2>from beyond. There's probably people summoning Dolly Parton's spirit right now.

78
00:05:03.730 --> 00:05:06.850
<v Speaker 2>Souls bouncing around through history. Where are they at? What

79
00:05:06.870 --> 00:05:08.730
<v Speaker 2>are they communicating? What are they trying to tell us?

80
00:05:08.790 --> 00:05:11.509
<v Speaker 2>And he probably said, no, thank you. Not on this

81
00:05:11.550 --> 00:05:14.550
<v Speaker 2>treatment plan. And then came a patient for him. And

82
00:05:14.589 --> 00:05:17.370
<v Speaker 2>it was written about in a book. Many lives, many masters.

83
00:05:17.449 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 2>And Weiss referred to her as Catherine. That was not

84
00:05:20.660 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 2>her real name, of course. But he wrote that she

85
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.810
<v Speaker 2>was a young woman suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, all

86
00:05:26.829 --> 00:05:32.209
<v Speaker 2>the kind of dysphoric and anxiety-driven stuff, panic attacks. Just

87
00:05:32.230 --> 00:05:36.569
<v Speaker 2>think about that, right? Darkness and choking and death. And

88
00:05:36.610 --> 00:05:41.250
<v Speaker 2>for 18 months, he said he treated her with ordinary psychotherapy.

89
00:05:41.310 --> 00:05:44.740
<v Speaker 2>And by his account, it was not getting them very far.

90
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.759
<v Speaker 2>So he tried hypnosis, right? Some people believe in it,

91
00:05:47.769 --> 00:05:51.550
<v Speaker 2>some people don't, but he went there not to contact

92
00:05:51.589 --> 00:05:53.829
<v Speaker 2>the dead, not to discover Cleopatra, not even to look

93
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.579
<v Speaker 2>for past lives, but he wanted to guide Catherine backward

94
00:05:58.060 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 2>toward whatever childhood experience might have been planted in the

95
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.220
<v Speaker 2>first seeds of those fears that were driving that anxiety.

96
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 2>And he asked her to return to the origin of

97
00:06:07.740 --> 00:06:12.879
<v Speaker 2>her symptoms. And Catherine began speaking She was no longer

98
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>in Miami. She was no longer Catherine. According to Weiss,

99
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:21.610
<v Speaker 2>she described herself as a woman named Aranda, living in

100
00:06:21.629 --> 00:06:26.569
<v Speaker 2>a village 4,000 years ago in 1863 B.C., and she

101
00:06:26.810 --> 00:06:29.889
<v Speaker 2>got everything exactly right. She described a flood, a wall

102
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.699
<v Speaker 2>of water, panic, destruction. And right there, sensible people may

103
00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>want to hit the brakes on all this. Like, whoa, wait,

104
00:06:37.139 --> 00:06:40.560
<v Speaker 2>you're from another life? You remember B.C.? What? A skeptic

105
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:45.209
<v Speaker 2>hears this and says, yeah, I heard it somewhere else. Imagination, symbolism,

106
00:06:45.310 --> 00:06:49.829
<v Speaker 2>a dream state drama, a half-remembered movie maybe, or, you know,

107
00:06:49.850 --> 00:06:53.110
<v Speaker 2>the unconscious mind is creating a little theater and hypnosis.

108
00:06:53.370 --> 00:06:55.740
<v Speaker 2>May make the, you know, curtains rise. You may start

109
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.259
<v Speaker 2>to think about other things. But this is not an

110
00:06:58.339 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 2>unreasonable response. But Weiss, the psychiatrist, said it was his

111
00:07:01.860 --> 00:07:06.660
<v Speaker 2>first response too. And after session and session and session,

112
00:07:06.699 --> 00:07:15.259
<v Speaker 2>Catherine returned with more supposed lives. different eras, identities, sexes, names, voices.

113
00:07:16.810 --> 00:07:19.589
<v Speaker 2>And while all that was happening, Walter, her symptoms reportedly

114
00:07:19.629 --> 00:07:22.389
<v Speaker 2>began to ease. The fear of water, the panic, the nightmares,

115
00:07:22.430 --> 00:07:26.300
<v Speaker 2>because she was going back into her past lives. Did

116
00:07:26.310 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 2>that prove that she had lived before? No. Did it

117
00:07:29.579 --> 00:07:33.199
<v Speaker 2>prove that hypnosis provides a shortcut to some sort of

118
00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:37.189
<v Speaker 2>ancient memories? Of course not. I mean, no. But in

119
00:07:37.310 --> 00:07:40.649
<v Speaker 2>his telling, it was enough to make a deeply skeptical

120
00:07:40.709 --> 00:07:44.029
<v Speaker 2>psychiatrist wonder whether he was seeing something that did not

121
00:07:44.110 --> 00:07:46.569
<v Speaker 2>fit neatly into any of those medical charts because he

122
00:07:46.589 --> 00:07:50.029
<v Speaker 2>was a practical man. So he wrote during some of

123
00:07:50.069 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 2>these sessions that she, Catherine, seemed to move beyond all

124
00:07:54.459 --> 00:07:57.879
<v Speaker 2>the alleged past lives into what she described as the, quote,

125
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:02.259
<v Speaker 2>space between each of those lives. And her voice would

126
00:08:02.300 --> 00:08:07.420
<v Speaker 2>even change. Her manners changed. She said beings she called

127
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.980
<v Speaker 2>the masters were speaking through her, and they were. And

128
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.660
<v Speaker 2>the story takes a real turn from unusual to deeply

129
00:08:13.699 --> 00:08:18.290
<v Speaker 2>personal because according to Weiss, those masters began offering information

130
00:08:18.370 --> 00:08:26.670
<v Speaker 2>about him. Private grief, personal details, matters connected to his

131
00:08:26.750 --> 00:08:29.339
<v Speaker 2>infant son who had just died a few years earlier.

132
00:08:30.100 --> 00:08:33.379
<v Speaker 2>Details he claimed Catherine had no ordinary way of actually

133
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.639
<v Speaker 2>even knowing, and she was nailing all of it. precisely.

134
00:08:37.419 --> 00:08:39.620
<v Speaker 2>And that was the moment that the story completely changed

135
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.000
<v Speaker 2>because you can go back and remember floods or histories or,

136
00:08:43.019 --> 00:08:45.960
<v Speaker 2>or hear any of these things, but you know, the

137
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.480
<v Speaker 2>information that are aimed directly at the actual doctor himself,

138
00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:53.490
<v Speaker 2>information tied to his private loss, this is the kind

139
00:08:53.529 --> 00:08:56.190
<v Speaker 2>of thing that can shake a person's certainty right down

140
00:08:56.269 --> 00:09:01.009
<v Speaker 2>to its foundation. And so the questions arrive quickly and

141
00:09:01.070 --> 00:09:04.860
<v Speaker 2>are answered even more quickly because the Catherine unconsciously picks

142
00:09:04.940 --> 00:09:08.879
<v Speaker 2>up clues from Weiss. Right? Did she know this? Did

143
00:09:08.899 --> 00:09:12.570
<v Speaker 2>she hear anything? He said no. His expressions, his tones,

144
00:09:12.590 --> 00:09:16.990
<v Speaker 2>his body language, something mentioned and nothing. Did the hypnosis

145
00:09:17.149 --> 00:09:18.909
<v Speaker 2>unleash some sort of powerful symbol?

146
00:09:19.889 --> 00:09:20.110
<v Speaker 6>No.

147
00:09:20.950 --> 00:09:24.860
<v Speaker 2>Could it have been some sort of cryptonesia, which is

148
00:09:24.889 --> 00:09:27.720
<v Speaker 2>forgotten information absorbed long ago from books?

149
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:28.139
<v Speaker 7>No.

150
00:09:29.139 --> 00:09:33.870
<v Speaker 2>But Weiss encountered something more radical. Something suggesting that consciousness

151
00:09:34.009 --> 00:09:38.580
<v Speaker 2>is not simply a flickering electrical event trapped inside someone's skull,

152
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:44.919
<v Speaker 2>but as a collective consciousness. Something that continues, something that remembers.

153
00:09:45.779 --> 00:09:48.840
<v Speaker 2>And Brian Weiss went on to write many books, conduct workshops,

154
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>and become one of the best known advocates of past

155
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.210
<v Speaker 2>life regression. And believe it or not, this is a

156
00:09:54.289 --> 00:09:59.190
<v Speaker 2>growing field. And his work has fascinated believers, intrigued curious

157
00:09:59.250 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 2>people who are very interested. And now it's become even

158
00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:06.779
<v Speaker 2>more scientific. And mental health professionals are now going into this, Walter,

159
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.740
<v Speaker 2>as a real field of study. Because this type of

160
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 2>criticism that was out there is no longer criticism. It's

161
00:10:13.539 --> 00:10:15.700
<v Speaker 2>actually a field of study of thinking that people are

162
00:10:15.740 --> 00:10:22.549
<v Speaker 2>living multiple lives over many, many years. Generations, centuries, eons even.

163
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:27.139
<v Speaker 2>So the memory under hypnosis is not a courtroom quality recording,

164
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.419
<v Speaker 2>and any suggestion can save any sort of recollections of this.

165
00:10:32.179 --> 00:10:35.039
<v Speaker 2>But to wrap this up and to look at this

166
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.309
<v Speaker 2>as something as a field of study going forward, maybe Dolly,

167
00:10:39.889 --> 00:10:43.710
<v Speaker 2>maybe us, maybe this isn't our only life that we're living.

168
00:10:44.610 --> 00:10:51.809
<v Speaker 2>Because now this is a real field of psycho... analysis

169
00:10:52.110 --> 00:10:55.490
<v Speaker 2>studying in this field and who knows we might be

170
00:10:55.549 --> 00:11:00.429
<v Speaker 2>evoking more Dolly Parton in our future who knows if

171
00:11:00.529 --> 00:11:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Dolly is just passing through us or if you know

172
00:11:03.259 --> 00:11:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Dolly is you know dead dead dead it's all up

173
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.879
<v Speaker 2>to I guess the eye of the beholder but this

174
00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:14.460
<v Speaker 2>is a real scientific field of study now so for

175
00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:17.309
<v Speaker 2>those of you who think Dolly is dead maybe she's not.

176
00:11:17.789 --> 00:11:22.009
<v Speaker 5>Eddie Dragon owner of a radio station in New Mexico,

177
00:11:22.029 --> 00:11:31.429
<v Speaker 5>a brilliant broadcaster, alternative information theorist, metaphysicist. One of the

178
00:11:31.509 --> 00:11:35.570
<v Speaker 5>last things that Nikola Tesla believed was that our brains

179
00:11:35.649 --> 00:11:41.379
<v Speaker 5>weren't just receivers of information, sounds, sight, memory. We weren't

180
00:11:41.409 --> 00:11:47.100
<v Speaker 5>just receivers. We were also transmitters. And the concept of

181
00:11:47.139 --> 00:11:50.809
<v Speaker 5>the law of attractions is based on our brain's ability

182
00:11:51.110 --> 00:11:57.129
<v Speaker 5>to transmit desire, hope, fear, and probably the ability for

183
00:11:57.210 --> 00:12:03.190
<v Speaker 5>us to transmit information generation to generation. There have been

184
00:12:03.730 --> 00:12:07.970
<v Speaker 5>many experiments with lower form animals where they were able

185
00:12:07.990 --> 00:12:12.629
<v Speaker 5>to test, here's the earthworm today, and we'll do this

186
00:12:12.669 --> 00:12:15.190
<v Speaker 5>and this with the earthworm, and then the next generation

187
00:12:15.230 --> 00:12:18.269
<v Speaker 5>of earthworms knows what that one knew, and there was

188
00:12:18.350 --> 00:12:21.110
<v Speaker 5>no other place for them to get that information. And

189
00:12:21.190 --> 00:12:25.340
<v Speaker 5>I suspect it has a lot to do with our

190
00:12:25.379 --> 00:12:29.759
<v Speaker 5>willingness to receive and our willingness to transmit and to

191
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:31.379
<v Speaker 5>be heard. And then there are other people who are

192
00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:34.240
<v Speaker 5>just too busy. They don't meditate. They can't get into

193
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:37.700
<v Speaker 5>that trance. They can't do that. But it could also

194
00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:40.750
<v Speaker 5>be the vibration under which you're born, how you manage

195
00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:43.450
<v Speaker 5>your life, how you treat other people. All of it

196
00:12:43.509 --> 00:12:47.799
<v Speaker 5>sets up our receptors to... the psychic world around us.

197
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.659
<v Speaker 2>There's no doubt that there's a broader consciousness, Walter, and

198
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.820
<v Speaker 2>we are learning from it, but it's beyond our ability

199
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.419
<v Speaker 2>to actually comprehend. And the fact that it's there and

200
00:12:59.490 --> 00:13:01.809
<v Speaker 2>we have faith and that we believe in it, I

201
00:13:01.870 --> 00:13:04.950
<v Speaker 2>think is sort of this salvation. That's where miracles happen.

202
00:13:04.970 --> 00:13:08.429
<v Speaker 2>That's where salvation maybe for humanity actually exists. And, you know,

203
00:13:08.450 --> 00:13:10.490
<v Speaker 2>Tesla was on to something, maybe one of the most

204
00:13:10.529 --> 00:13:11.830
<v Speaker 2>brilliant minds of all time.

205
00:13:12.129 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 5>Of all time. Now, one of the things you'll remember,

206
00:13:15.259 --> 00:13:17.500
<v Speaker 5>you'll realize is that when a friend of yours or

207
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.639
<v Speaker 5>a close person to you dies, you think about them

208
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.700
<v Speaker 5>a tremendous amount during the days and weeks right after

209
00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 5>they died. And you're walking down the street, you're walking

210
00:13:27.179 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 5>into a room and you think you see them. You'll

211
00:13:30.379 --> 00:13:32.960
<v Speaker 5>see somebody on the sidewalk. They look just like them.

212
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.860
<v Speaker 5>You hear their voice. Your cat moves in a new way.

213
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.799
<v Speaker 5>The dog starts barking at nothing. The energy. that that

214
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:43.820
<v Speaker 5>person had, the energy that that person puts out into

215
00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:49.350
<v Speaker 5>the world is still there. And we don't understand it.

216
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:53.720
<v Speaker 5>We don't know how it works. Eddie Aragon, New Mexico,

217
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:55.440
<v Speaker 5>great report on Dolly Parton.

218
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:11.639
<v Speaker 1>The Other Side of Midnight with Walter Sterling. It's The

219
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.850
<v Speaker 1>Other Side of Midnight with Walter Sterling.

220
00:14:17.309 --> 00:14:20.350
<v Speaker 6>There's an old guy who's on the air and they

221
00:14:20.470 --> 00:14:25.610
<v Speaker 6>call him Sterling. The bosses hired him on a dare

222
00:14:25.669 --> 00:14:31.570
<v Speaker 6>and they call him Sterling. Kind of hip, kind of odd, Sterling.

223
00:14:31.690 --> 00:14:35.450
<v Speaker 6>Kind of smart, kind of strange, Sterling. A different show

224
00:14:35.529 --> 00:14:39.590
<v Speaker 6>that's here to stay and they call it Sterling.

225
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.879
<v Speaker 5>The Other Side of Midnight, a most original program. Lesbians

226
00:14:45.980 --> 00:14:48.299
<v Speaker 5>in space, space, space.

227
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.950
<v Speaker 4>The Other Side of Midnight.

228
00:14:52.470 --> 00:14:55.570
<v Speaker 7>So we shall begin this lesbian event as we begin

229
00:14:55.690 --> 00:14:59.529
<v Speaker 7>all lesbian events with the singing of the Lesbian National Anthem.

230
00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:02.940
<v Speaker 3>Put your hands over your sports bras.

231
00:15:06.450 --> 00:15:14.440
<v Speaker 7>I drive a Subaru, donate to dog rescues, have arm tattoos.

232
00:15:22.250 --> 00:15:27.919
<v Speaker 7>outdoors in hats and cargo shorts with our ugly shoes.

233
00:15:31.059 --> 00:15:37.440
<v Speaker 7>My shoes are comfortable. My purse is functional. It has

234
00:15:37.539 --> 00:15:45.850
<v Speaker 7>Burt's Bees. My arms are always flexed. I stayed friends

235
00:15:46.009 --> 00:15:49.889
<v Speaker 7>with my ex because we share.

236
00:15:56.429 --> 00:16:07.639
<v Speaker 5>Walter Sterling and you at 800-848-9222. 800-848-9222. Introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts.

237
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.899
<v Speaker 5>People who like to be alone but derive energy from

238
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:16.909
<v Speaker 5>being with others but are perfectly happy being alone. They

239
00:16:16.929 --> 00:16:21.929
<v Speaker 5>don't need to be with others. Whereas extroverts need to

240
00:16:21.990 --> 00:16:26.230
<v Speaker 5>be with other people. This is our time. This is

241
00:16:26.269 --> 00:16:29.289
<v Speaker 5>who you and I are. This is the only time

242
00:16:29.370 --> 00:16:33.120
<v Speaker 5>of day where we get to be honest with who? Ourselves.

243
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.259
<v Speaker 5>You want to be alone? I don't care. Be alone.

244
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.740
<v Speaker 5>Have a good time. Nobody's going to say to you,

245
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:41.740
<v Speaker 5>why don't you come on outside? Why don't you come

246
00:16:41.820 --> 00:16:47.399
<v Speaker 5>out with us? Never do introverts say to extroverts, you

247
00:16:47.419 --> 00:16:51.529
<v Speaker 5>should stay inside. Don't bother to come out. No need

248
00:16:51.549 --> 00:16:53.570
<v Speaker 5>to make friends. Just stay inside.

249
00:16:53.629 --> 00:16:54.029
<v Speaker 2>It's all right.

250
00:16:54.629 --> 00:16:58.009
<v Speaker 5>Introverts never say that to extroverts, but extroverts, boy, they

251
00:16:58.049 --> 00:17:01.029
<v Speaker 5>think we should get out there, meet some people. It's

252
00:17:01.049 --> 00:17:03.769
<v Speaker 5>a beautiful day. Why don't you get out and enjoy

253
00:17:03.809 --> 00:17:06.589
<v Speaker 5>the day? No, you don't understand. I'm alone in my room.

254
00:17:07.369 --> 00:17:11.690
<v Speaker 5>I am enjoying my day. I'm left-handed. I don't have

255
00:17:11.710 --> 00:17:16.440
<v Speaker 5>to make any adaptions for you, a righty, as long

256
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.000
<v Speaker 5>as I'm alone in my room. When I'm alone in

257
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:23.220
<v Speaker 5>my room, everything's fine. It's like the Beach Boys song.

258
00:17:24.509 --> 00:17:26.529
<v Speaker 5>When I was a kid, I thought the Beach Boys song,

259
00:17:26.670 --> 00:17:30.150
<v Speaker 5>In My Room, was a happy song. It was well

260
00:17:30.190 --> 00:17:32.319
<v Speaker 5>into my 20s that I realized, God, it's a very

261
00:17:32.390 --> 00:17:38.880
<v Speaker 5>tragic and sad song. My 14-year-old daughter has apraxia and autism,

262
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:44.720
<v Speaker 5>and she spends hours alone in her room. She's very

263
00:17:44.819 --> 00:17:49.500
<v Speaker 5>happy in there. She's with her cat, her iPad, her iPhone,

264
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:53.119
<v Speaker 5>her Zoobs. Do you know what Zoobs are? I'm not

265
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.480
<v Speaker 5>even going to begin to explain it. No, no, not

266
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:57.900
<v Speaker 5>because I don't think you can handle it like a UFO,

267
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 5>because if I described it, you'd be like, really? Yes,

268
00:18:02.380 --> 00:18:06.420
<v Speaker 5>she has hundreds and hundreds of zoobs, and her best friend,

269
00:18:06.500 --> 00:18:09.400
<v Speaker 5>who's a little bit like her, together they play with

270
00:18:09.460 --> 00:18:13.990
<v Speaker 5>the zoobs. But she'll lie on her bed like a princess,

271
00:18:14.609 --> 00:18:17.910
<v Speaker 5>look on her iPhone, look on her iPad, and she's

272
00:18:18.150 --> 00:18:21.160
<v Speaker 5>totally happy. And then if you say to her, come on,

273
00:18:21.190 --> 00:18:23.009
<v Speaker 5>let's go see these people, if we have to go

274
00:18:23.089 --> 00:18:27.519
<v Speaker 5>see some people, She can't do anything more than one

275
00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:31.160
<v Speaker 5>social event a day. She can't do any more than that.

276
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:35.720
<v Speaker 5>That's it. But again, the extroverts, they always want us

277
00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:36.420
<v Speaker 5>to go outside.

278
00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:40.380
<v Speaker 8>I have decided that I need an emotional support extrovert.

279
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:42.980
<v Speaker 8>Someone who will invite me to things.

280
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:46.619
<v Speaker 2>I will go. They will talk to people. I will

281
00:18:46.660 --> 00:18:48.039
<v Speaker 2>eat the food and pet the dogs.

282
00:18:48.339 --> 00:18:50.849
<v Speaker 6>And then we can both go home feeling like we've

283
00:18:50.869 --> 00:18:51.440
<v Speaker 6>done something.

284
00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:55.079
<v Speaker 5>Wouldn't that be ideal? If you and I could have

285
00:18:55.160 --> 00:19:01.039
<v Speaker 5>a extrovert wingman, somebody to go with us, get us out, introduce,

286
00:19:01.339 --> 00:19:03.720
<v Speaker 5>and do all the talking for us. We don't have

287
00:19:03.740 --> 00:19:06.640
<v Speaker 5>to do anything. We just go with them. Everybody's happy

288
00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:09.720
<v Speaker 5>to see them. We don't need to talk. We're going

289
00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:11.019
<v Speaker 5>to a party on Friday. You want to come?

290
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:11.859
<v Speaker 8>I can't.

291
00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:13.420
<v Speaker 3>I have plans on Saturday.

292
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:14.769
<v Speaker 5>But the party's Friday night.

293
00:19:15.250 --> 00:19:17.750
<v Speaker 2>I know, but I can't do two things back-to-back on

294
00:19:17.769 --> 00:19:18.549
<v Speaker 2>the same weekend.

295
00:19:19.069 --> 00:19:19.450
<v Speaker 7>So, no.

296
00:19:20.230 --> 00:19:21.210
<v Speaker 5>I called you yesterday.

297
00:19:21.529 --> 00:19:23.849
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I saw that. Twice, actually, you called.

298
00:19:24.309 --> 00:19:28.259
<v Speaker 5>Watch the ring. Sorry, I don't mean to bother you, but..

299
00:19:28.430 --> 00:19:30.450
<v Speaker 3>So maybe don't. Have a good day.

300
00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:32.940
<v Speaker 8>Hey, we're going out to lunch today.

301
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Want to come?

302
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:34.859
<v Speaker 5>I don't.

303
00:19:34.940 --> 00:19:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Thanks, though. Have fun.

304
00:19:37.460 --> 00:19:38.940
<v Speaker 5>So what's next on the agenda?

305
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:40.740
<v Speaker 3>I think we're done here.

306
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:42.279
<v Speaker 4>I think we should go home, and I'm.

307
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:42.829
<v Speaker 3>Going to do the same.

308
00:19:42.849 --> 00:19:43.890
<v Speaker 1>See you later.

309
00:19:44.289 --> 00:19:47.809
<v Speaker 5>That's the thing. If I'm in a situation, especially at work,

310
00:19:48.130 --> 00:19:50.380
<v Speaker 5>and there are a group of people saying... hey, we're

311
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:52.200
<v Speaker 5>going to go to lunch now, Walter, you want to come?

312
00:19:52.220 --> 00:19:55.259
<v Speaker 5>The answer is always going to be no. It's very

313
00:19:55.299 --> 00:19:58.970
<v Speaker 5>hard to explain that to extroverts and to normies. It's

314
00:19:59.009 --> 00:20:01.690
<v Speaker 5>hard to explain why the answer is going to be no.

315
00:20:02.569 --> 00:20:06.150
<v Speaker 5>Easy to interpret it as he doesn't like us or

316
00:20:06.210 --> 00:20:09.269
<v Speaker 5>he's a big deal or he's arrogant. or he thinks

317
00:20:09.309 --> 00:20:12.210
<v Speaker 5>he's the smartest person in the room. No, it's not that.

318
00:20:12.910 --> 00:20:16.410
<v Speaker 5>It's that I am physically and emotionally challenged, and maybe

319
00:20:16.460 --> 00:20:18.819
<v Speaker 5>you are too, to hang out with a lot of

320
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.160
<v Speaker 5>people for a long period of time. And what they

321
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.440
<v Speaker 5>have found in studying introverts is that after about an

322
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:29.720
<v Speaker 5>hour and 45 minutes, we're done. If you and I

323
00:20:29.769 --> 00:20:31.930
<v Speaker 5>are at a party for more than an hour and

324
00:20:31.930 --> 00:20:37.369
<v Speaker 5>45 minutes, we're really done. And then something happens. Then

325
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:40.789
<v Speaker 5>Dracula comes out after an hour and 45. If I'm

326
00:20:40.829 --> 00:20:44.710
<v Speaker 5>there too long, I will start to turn on you.

327
00:20:44.730 --> 00:20:48.710
<v Speaker 5>I will start to turn on the situation. And those

328
00:20:48.769 --> 00:20:51.799
<v Speaker 5>canapes that I really liked, all of a sudden I'll go,

329
00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:53.900
<v Speaker 5>you know, these are cold. Why are you serving these?

330
00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:57.160
<v Speaker 5>Or why'd you invite Joe? What the hell's with him?

331
00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:59.960
<v Speaker 5>And all of a sudden I will find problems with

332
00:20:59.980 --> 00:21:04.670
<v Speaker 5>the social situation. Problems because I'm an introvert. And at

333
00:21:04.750 --> 00:21:07.869
<v Speaker 5>some point, I need to escape the social situation. I

334
00:21:07.930 --> 00:21:11.569
<v Speaker 5>need to get out of the social situation because I

335
00:21:11.670 --> 00:21:15.589
<v Speaker 5>can't handle anymore. My ram is full. My circuitry is full.

336
00:21:16.630 --> 00:21:20.180
<v Speaker 5>And my feet hurt like hell. Usually, I have found

337
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:24.700
<v Speaker 5>that left-handedness goes with flat-footedness. This is a lethal combination

338
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:28.099
<v Speaker 5>when it comes to being social. And I'll see people

339
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:32.829
<v Speaker 5>who are extroverts at parties, social situations. And as time

340
00:21:32.869 --> 00:21:35.630
<v Speaker 5>goes on, they get more and more happy. They get

341
00:21:35.750 --> 00:21:38.289
<v Speaker 5>more and more expansive. They get more and more part

342
00:21:38.309 --> 00:21:45.109
<v Speaker 5>of the event. I don't envy them. I can't begin

343
00:21:45.150 --> 00:21:48.759
<v Speaker 5>to envy them because I can't do that. You and

344
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.079
<v Speaker 5>I are on the radio where? In Chicago. That's a

345
00:21:52.140 --> 00:21:54.910
<v Speaker 5>very big city. On the biggest radio station, WGN.

346
00:21:57.579 --> 00:22:04.150
<v Speaker 6>Midnight Misfits, Walter Sterling, the other side of midnight.

347
00:22:04.509 --> 00:22:05.789
<v Speaker 5>And you and I should talk at 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222.

348
00:22:05.789 --> 00:22:08.230
<v Speaker 5>Lesbians in space, space, space, the other side of midnight. Do, do, do, do, do, do.

349
00:22:25.549 --> 00:22:27.630
<v Speaker 3>Something really weird happened with Una.

350
00:22:27.990 --> 00:22:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Tell me everything right now.

351
00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:31.759
<v Speaker 7>I don't even, like, I really don't know if I can, like,

352
00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:32.309
<v Speaker 7>explain it.

353
00:22:33.539 --> 00:22:33.859
<v Speaker 8>Try.

354
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:40.160
<v Speaker 3>It was like, her faces were, like, so close to

355
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:40.519
<v Speaker 3>each other.

356
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:43.000
<v Speaker 5>Like, I could feel her breathing on me.

357
00:22:43.180 --> 00:22:44.180
<v Speaker 2>Okay, hot.

358
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:45.400
<v Speaker 3>And then she touched my thigh.

359
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:46.730
<v Speaker 8>Ah, okay.

360
00:22:47.069 --> 00:22:48.230
<v Speaker 4>So she's in love with you.

361
00:22:48.250 --> 00:22:49.890
<v Speaker 9>No, because that was it.

362
00:22:51.109 --> 00:22:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Like, nothing else happened.

363
00:22:52.269 --> 00:22:52.589
<v Speaker 8>Really?

364
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.049
<v Speaker 5>And it's so confusing because I can't figure her out.

365
00:22:56.089 --> 00:22:58.650
<v Speaker 3>I can't, like, tell what she's thinking. And it's driving

366
00:22:58.670 --> 00:23:00.309
<v Speaker 3>me insane. But at the same time, I'm like, dude,

367
00:23:00.509 --> 00:23:01.690
<v Speaker 3>why would she touch my thigh like that?

368
00:23:01.809 --> 00:23:03.109
<v Speaker 5>No, 100%. 100%, actually.

369
00:23:03.190 --> 00:23:06.990
<v Speaker 6>The biggest all-night show.

370
00:23:06.450 --> 00:23:07.670
<v Speaker 3>On American radio.

371
00:23:08.009 --> 00:23:11.549
<v Speaker 5>Now, here's Joaquin. Joaquin, a truck driver. Are you an

372
00:23:11.730 --> 00:23:13.309
<v Speaker 5>extrovert or an introvert?

373
00:23:14.529 --> 00:23:18.769
<v Speaker 4>Walter, my friend, I'm a weird combination of both. I

374
00:23:19.089 --> 00:23:21.490
<v Speaker 4>definitely do like going out like I do karaoke and

375
00:23:21.509 --> 00:23:23.410
<v Speaker 4>whatever else. I do like hanging out with people, but

376
00:23:23.430 --> 00:23:25.619
<v Speaker 4>I also don't mind those times when I'm alone and

377
00:23:25.650 --> 00:23:28.039
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing something. And the time that I'm a real

378
00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:30.059
<v Speaker 4>introvert is going down the road in the middle of

379
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:32.519
<v Speaker 4>the night. And then you get that person that for

380
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:35.619
<v Speaker 4>some reason feels the need to stay 10 feet away

381
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:38.319
<v Speaker 4>from your vehicle, you know, because they don't want to

382
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:40.000
<v Speaker 4>be alone. I just want to be out there on

383
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:41.660
<v Speaker 4>that open road all by myself.

384
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:42.660
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

385
00:23:43.099 --> 00:23:45.349
<v Speaker 4>And that that's always been one of my most annoying

386
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:47.759
<v Speaker 4>pet peeves. You just want to come back and forth

387
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:51.319
<v Speaker 4>to work down to Allentown and Pennsylvania Turnpike. Oh, my gosh.

388
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:53.740
<v Speaker 4>Middle of the night, plenty of open road, and some

389
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:56.059
<v Speaker 4>idiot just has to decide that they want to drive,

390
00:23:56.099 --> 00:24:01.460
<v Speaker 4>you know. They just want to pace you somehow, you know. So, yes,

391
00:24:01.529 --> 00:24:03.789
<v Speaker 4>I'm a combination of the both of them. And I

392
00:24:03.829 --> 00:24:06.170
<v Speaker 4>also used to love sitting in a car. I had

393
00:24:06.190 --> 00:24:10.430
<v Speaker 4>a 1940 Chrysler Plymouth, all original. And at night, I

394
00:24:10.470 --> 00:24:12.049
<v Speaker 4>used to love sitting in that car with my cup

395
00:24:12.069 --> 00:24:15.269
<v Speaker 4>of coffee and a cup of bourbon. But, you know,

396
00:24:15.309 --> 00:24:17.859
<v Speaker 4>I got to ask you a question. You have a loving,

397
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.019
<v Speaker 4>much like me, a loving wife who takes care of

398
00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:25.000
<v Speaker 4>all your needs. When she takes her daily trip over

399
00:24:25.019 --> 00:24:27.059
<v Speaker 4>to Target to get paper towels, can't she get you

400
00:24:27.140 --> 00:24:29.779
<v Speaker 4>a jar of Duke's mayonnaise and a container of pretzel rods?

401
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.339
<v Speaker 4>Because I got a business idea for you. Just think

402
00:24:33.380 --> 00:24:37.000
<v Speaker 4>about this. Mayonnaise company has their sterling blend of mayonnaise.

403
00:24:37.609 --> 00:24:41.329
<v Speaker 4>Pretzel company maybe has Joaquin's extra thick, extra salty pretzels, right?

404
00:24:41.990 --> 00:24:42.400
<v Speaker 2>And then..

405
00:24:43.029 --> 00:24:46.829
<v Speaker 4>After your listeners get, you know, cholesterol issues, you can

406
00:24:46.849 --> 00:24:49.769
<v Speaker 4>get the pharmaceutical company to advertise on your show. And

407
00:24:49.789 --> 00:24:53.410
<v Speaker 4>then you can get the legal company to advertise on

408
00:24:53.450 --> 00:24:56.079
<v Speaker 4>your show. So right there, you've got four sponsors. Do

409
00:24:57.220 --> 00:24:57.880
<v Speaker 4>you think it happened?

410
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:01.440
<v Speaker 5>Do you have a trucking story for us, Joaquin?

411
00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:03.920
<v Speaker 4>I do, Walter. Yes, I do. As a matter of fact,

412
00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:06.640
<v Speaker 4>I like to work in innuendo. So tonight's story is

413
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:09.710
<v Speaker 4>going to be about pussy in the truck. So anyway,

414
00:25:10.150 --> 00:25:12.839
<v Speaker 4>at one point, you know, me and my wife, you know, she,

415
00:25:13.019 --> 00:25:15.799
<v Speaker 4>she traveled, she loved traveling with me, you know, and

416
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.559
<v Speaker 4>we're going down, we're going to Texas and we had

417
00:25:18.579 --> 00:25:22.259
<v Speaker 4>this cat actually. And this cat just loved to lay

418
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:25.289
<v Speaker 4>on the dashboard of my, it was my cab over truck,

419
00:25:25.309 --> 00:25:28.170
<v Speaker 4>you know, um, my cab over came with aerodyne and

420
00:25:28.210 --> 00:25:30.450
<v Speaker 4>those catches for some reason, love to lay on the

421
00:25:30.490 --> 00:25:33.470
<v Speaker 4>dashboard and sun itself there. And I got devious. I

422
00:25:33.490 --> 00:25:36.230
<v Speaker 4>turned the windshield wipers on and all of a sudden

423
00:25:36.309 --> 00:25:39.400
<v Speaker 4>this cat would jump in the air and, I did

424
00:25:39.420 --> 00:25:41.839
<v Speaker 4>this a number of times. Eventually, sooner or later, the

425
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:43.829
<v Speaker 4>cat flying would kind of be like laying there looking

426
00:25:43.849 --> 00:25:47.230
<v Speaker 4>at me like, okay, you idiot. I get it now,

427
00:25:47.269 --> 00:25:49.470
<v Speaker 4>you know. But it was the funniest freaking thing.

428
00:25:51.349 --> 00:25:59.599
<v Speaker 5>Oh, he got disconnected? Oh. All right. 800-848-9222. 800-848-9222. The

429
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:03.099
<v Speaker 5>challenge of being an introvert. The special challenges of being

430
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:09.390
<v Speaker 5>an introvert. It's an unusual thing to be. Because... inevitably,

431
00:26:10.089 --> 00:26:12.650
<v Speaker 5>whatever company you and I work for, whether it's big

432
00:26:12.730 --> 00:26:15.779
<v Speaker 5>or small, the person who runs it, owns it, leads it,

433
00:26:16.190 --> 00:26:21.630
<v Speaker 5>is an extrovert. In order to gather investors, employees, partners,

434
00:26:21.970 --> 00:26:25.130
<v Speaker 5>they kind of have to be an extrovert. And then

435
00:26:25.450 --> 00:26:29.230
<v Speaker 5>they say really horrible things like, I like team players.

436
00:26:29.910 --> 00:26:30.130
<v Speaker 8>Really?

437
00:26:30.150 --> 00:26:33.430
<v Speaker 5>Because I'm not a team player. I'll obey your rules.

438
00:26:33.930 --> 00:26:36.250
<v Speaker 5>I'll do what you ask. But that doesn't mean that

439
00:26:36.269 --> 00:26:38.900
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to sit with other people And come up

440
00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:42.859
<v Speaker 5>with brainstorming ideas. I can't really help you with that.

441
00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:45.809
<v Speaker 5>That's not what I'm going to do. All right. Let's

442
00:26:45.829 --> 00:26:46.509
<v Speaker 5>you and I talk.

443
00:26:46.529 --> 00:26:46.710
<v Speaker 8>800-848-9222.

444
00:26:46.730 --> 00:26:54.029
<v Speaker 5>800-848-9222. One of the most vicious and to me terrifying

445
00:26:54.269 --> 00:27:01.099
<v Speaker 5>conspiracies is Agenda 21. Agenda 21. Now listen to this.

446
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:03.900
<v Speaker 5>Because when I first learned about this two days ago,

447
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:06.440
<v Speaker 5>I started doing a lot of homework because I couldn't

448
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:11.569
<v Speaker 5>believe it. Agenda 21 is the name of the UN-published

449
00:27:11.710 --> 00:27:16.960
<v Speaker 5>white paper, United Nations-published white paper, produced after the Rio

450
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:25.710
<v Speaker 5>Socialist plan for a sustainable world. Not sustainable garbage, beverages, wood. No, no.

451
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:32.349
<v Speaker 5>A sustainable world in the 21st century. The Earth Summit

452
00:27:34.970 --> 00:27:39.230
<v Speaker 5>was billed as an environmental issue Facing Mankind and the

453
00:27:39.250 --> 00:27:43.470
<v Speaker 5>Blueprint for a Sustainable 21st Century. The Future of Mankind,

454
00:27:43.529 --> 00:27:48.920
<v Speaker 5>where the U.S. Constitution, American national sovereignty and constitution eliminated

455
00:27:48.980 --> 00:27:52.740
<v Speaker 5>and replaced by a Marxist world government controlled by a

456
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:58.180
<v Speaker 5>powerful cartel. American sustainability of the environment and creating a

457
00:27:58.220 --> 00:28:03.029
<v Speaker 5>more equitable world are thought to be income redistribution, applying

458
00:28:03.089 --> 00:28:10.720
<v Speaker 5>impossibly restrictive regulations that destroy deinstitutionalization of America and Western

459
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:15.559
<v Speaker 5>Europe through international trade organizations. All right, here's the bullet points.

460
00:28:16.859 --> 00:28:22.809
<v Speaker 5>Under Agenda 21, many American activities are listed as unsustainable.

461
00:28:24.990 --> 00:28:27.369
<v Speaker 5>Under Agenda 21, many of the things you and I

462
00:28:27.430 --> 00:28:30.829
<v Speaker 5>do right now are listed as unsustainable. They include all

463
00:28:30.869 --> 00:28:34.910
<v Speaker 5>private property ownership and rights. What does that clown mayor

464
00:28:34.930 --> 00:28:37.200
<v Speaker 5>in New York City want to do? He wants to

465
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:41.019
<v Speaker 5>get rid of property ownership and rights. All forms of

466
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:48.220
<v Speaker 5>crop irrigation, pesticides, commercial fertilizers, except where approved. They want

467
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:51.059
<v Speaker 5>to get rid of crop irrigation. That means they want

468
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:55.920
<v Speaker 5>to kill the crops. Livestock production and most meat consumption.

469
00:28:56.980 --> 00:28:59.019
<v Speaker 5>They want us to live in a vegetarian world. They

470
00:28:59.059 --> 00:29:02.720
<v Speaker 5>want to get rid of meat consumption. For us, I

471
00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:08.309
<v Speaker 5>suspect they will be eating filet mignon. Privately owned vehicles,

472
00:29:08.450 --> 00:29:12.309
<v Speaker 5>personal travel, that's got to go. Burning of fossil fuels

473
00:29:12.369 --> 00:29:17.789
<v Speaker 5>for energy production or personal vehicular travel. Single family homes

474
00:29:17.869 --> 00:29:22.599
<v Speaker 5>in suburban communities, they have to go. Most forms of

475
00:29:22.700 --> 00:29:29.980
<v Speaker 5>mineral extraction, mining, public lands, timber harvesting, that has to go. Dams, reservoirs,

476
00:29:30.019 --> 00:29:35.569
<v Speaker 5>golf courses, ski lodges, vacation resorts. The permanent human population

477
00:29:35.619 --> 00:29:42.319
<v Speaker 5>needs to be reduced by fewer than 1 billion people.

478
00:29:46.420 --> 00:29:50.059
<v Speaker 5>It has to be reduced by fewer than 1 billion people.

479
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:54.240
<v Speaker 5>That is the goal of Agenda 21 for now. Get

480
00:29:54.299 --> 00:30:00.900
<v Speaker 5>rid of 1 billion people now. Shortly after his inauguration,

481
00:30:01.980 --> 00:30:06.529
<v Speaker 5>George Bush became part of the President's Council on Sustainable

482
00:30:06.569 --> 00:30:12.869
<v Speaker 5>Development by executive order. It became federal policy within the

483
00:30:12.910 --> 00:30:18.559
<v Speaker 5>administrative branch. He effectively bypassed Congress and, through high gear,

484
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:22.880
<v Speaker 5>forever changing the mission of the federal agencies from serving

485
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:27.529
<v Speaker 5>the people Mission 21 was never ratified by the Senate

486
00:30:27.569 --> 00:30:31.549
<v Speaker 5>as required by law. 95% of all federal regulations are

487
00:30:31.609 --> 00:30:37.640
<v Speaker 5>on target for American sovereignty. Well, that's the deal. The

488
00:30:37.859 --> 00:30:44.299
<v Speaker 5>Agenda 21 wants to eliminate 1 billion people on Earth

489
00:30:45.059 --> 00:30:50.930
<v Speaker 5>with the goal of making Earth itself sustainable. This works

490
00:30:51.009 --> 00:30:54.009
<v Speaker 5>on the assumption that that the population of the world

491
00:30:54.049 --> 00:31:00.549
<v Speaker 5>today is not sustainable. Where's that research? Because if you

492
00:31:00.589 --> 00:31:04.980
<v Speaker 5>and I drive through Montana, Pennsylvania, all of Canada, there

493
00:31:05.059 --> 00:31:09.680
<v Speaker 5>is plenty of land, plenty of resources, no problem. Where

494
00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:13.940
<v Speaker 5>are there problems? In India. Move the people out of India.

495
00:31:14.339 --> 00:31:18.750
<v Speaker 5>Too many people in India. Don't kill them. Don't make

496
00:31:18.809 --> 00:31:22.269
<v Speaker 5>it smaller by a billion. But recognize the fact that

497
00:31:22.309 --> 00:31:24.210
<v Speaker 5>maybe they should be able to find some more land

498
00:31:24.250 --> 00:31:27.630
<v Speaker 5>for these people. And don't do it on purpose. Say, listen,

499
00:31:27.670 --> 00:31:31.359
<v Speaker 5>here's an incentive. It'll be great if you could move here.

500
00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:38.299
<v Speaker 5>Here's $ 100, 000. Agenda 21. A major initiative by the United

501
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:43.859
<v Speaker 5>Nations to make the world sustainable. This is terrifying to me. Paul,

502
00:31:44.180 --> 00:31:45.559
<v Speaker 5>you're on the other side of midnight.

503
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:46.420
<v Speaker 2>Welcome.

504
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:47.619
<v Speaker 5>Welcome, welcome.

505
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:48.599
<v Speaker 4>Hello, Walter. Hello Paul.

506
00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:48.950
<v Speaker 6>Good morning.

507
00:31:49.410 --> 00:31:50.390
<v Speaker 5>Good morning.

508
00:31:50.430 --> 00:31:54.180
<v Speaker 10>I'd like to speak to Dolly Parton, who passed away yesterday.

509
00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:59.519
<v Speaker 10>Do you think Dolly was an extrovert or introvert or

510
00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:03.180
<v Speaker 10>what do you think? Dolly Parton, the singer.

511
00:32:03.740 --> 00:32:06.079
<v Speaker 5>What does it matter, Paul?

512
00:32:06.619 --> 00:32:10.359
<v Speaker 10>Well, I suppose it doesn't matter really. The artists and

513
00:32:10.380 --> 00:32:13.019
<v Speaker 10>talents she gives and she'll be back on the charts again,

514
00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:17.180
<v Speaker 10>number one, I should imagine. I think you should, with Singer,

515
00:32:17.660 --> 00:32:19.599
<v Speaker 10>you've got the extra bit, haven't you? I imagine you've

516
00:32:19.619 --> 00:32:21.569
<v Speaker 10>got to outpour and you've got to be more and

517
00:32:21.589 --> 00:32:25.549
<v Speaker 10>more positive, I suppose, more outspoken, I suppose. There were

518
00:32:25.589 --> 00:32:30.690
<v Speaker 10>different issues she put in. She wasn't giving a few

519
00:32:30.710 --> 00:32:34.240
<v Speaker 10>views about politics, I don't think, and she kept quiet

520
00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:36.839
<v Speaker 10>on that stage, I believe. And I think that's how

521
00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:38.619
<v Speaker 10>it's going to be. But if it's a bit... I

522
00:32:39.339 --> 00:32:43.460
<v Speaker 10>suppose I could be outspoken, but I wouldn't be outspoken

523
00:32:43.500 --> 00:32:46.220
<v Speaker 10>in public, I don't think. Or there'd be a debate

524
00:32:46.660 --> 00:32:49.759
<v Speaker 10>of some sort. I don't know. It's hard to say, really.

525
00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:54.069
<v Speaker 5>No, I understand, Paul. It makes perfect sense. The fact

526
00:32:54.190 --> 00:32:59.269
<v Speaker 5>is that many stage performers are introverts. They're only extroverted

527
00:32:59.490 --> 00:33:04.930
<v Speaker 5>on stage. They only come out and come alive when

528
00:33:04.950 --> 00:33:07.210
<v Speaker 5>they perform. The rest of the time, they're in the

529
00:33:07.259 --> 00:33:09.299
<v Speaker 5>back of the room really quiet. This is true of

530
00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:12.440
<v Speaker 5>a lot of performers. A lot of people who entertain

531
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:17.960
<v Speaker 5>us are there for you and me. The minute the

532
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:20.549
<v Speaker 5>stage is closed, the minute the radio show is done,

533
00:33:20.589 --> 00:33:24.109
<v Speaker 5>the minute the TV show is done, they're alone. And

534
00:33:24.150 --> 00:33:27.630
<v Speaker 5>that's how they need to be to recharge. That's the

535
00:33:27.670 --> 00:33:31.059
<v Speaker 5>challenge of extroverts and introverts, that many of the things

536
00:33:31.099 --> 00:33:34.819
<v Speaker 5>that introverts do seem very outgoing. They could be baseball players,

537
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:37.740
<v Speaker 5>football players. My gosh, what could be more outgoing than that?

538
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:41.099
<v Speaker 5>But they can't talk off the field. They can't talk

539
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:44.460
<v Speaker 5>off the stage. They can't communicate. They can't go to

540
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:47.420
<v Speaker 5>dinner with you. And it's easy to say, well, that's

541
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:49.650
<v Speaker 5>because they think they're a big star or they're arrogant.

542
00:33:49.670 --> 00:33:50.109
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no.

543
00:33:50.170 --> 00:33:54.230
<v Speaker 5>It's that they just can't do it. They give every

544
00:33:54.289 --> 00:33:57.769
<v Speaker 5>single thing they have, everything they have to that performance.

545
00:33:58.170 --> 00:34:00.940
<v Speaker 5>And once that performance is done, they're cooked. They're done.

546
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:09.389
<v Speaker 5>It's a fascinating thing. 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222. But this is the

547
00:34:09.429 --> 00:34:12.030
<v Speaker 5>first radio show, the first thing you and I are

548
00:34:12.070 --> 00:34:16.329
<v Speaker 5>going to be a part of, where we celebrate it.

549
00:34:17.449 --> 00:34:22.630
<v Speaker 5>We think it's great. We think it's just fine to

550
00:34:22.670 --> 00:34:26.090
<v Speaker 5>be who we are. No place else you're going to

551
00:34:26.130 --> 00:34:28.190
<v Speaker 5>find this. Every place else you're going to be told,

552
00:34:28.570 --> 00:34:30.550
<v Speaker 5>You know, you really should get outside. You should do

553
00:34:30.610 --> 00:34:34.179
<v Speaker 5>some more things outside. Why aren't you playing with others?

554
00:34:34.579 --> 00:34:37.340
<v Speaker 5>This is the curse of your mother. Why don't you

555
00:34:37.380 --> 00:34:40.380
<v Speaker 5>go outside and play now? You're not going to sit

556
00:34:40.420 --> 00:34:42.480
<v Speaker 5>in your room all day. You need to get outside.

557
00:34:44.570 --> 00:34:49.250
<v Speaker 5>That's what moms do. But then we would really just

558
00:34:49.309 --> 00:34:53.230
<v Speaker 5>rather sit inside. Now, what did I want to tell you? Oh,

559
00:34:53.309 --> 00:34:58.550
<v Speaker 5>Keith Mortensen, hi. Beryl Kravitz, these are the Midnight Misfits.

560
00:34:58.630 --> 00:35:01.510
<v Speaker 5>Welcome to the other side of midnight. I have a

561
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:05.400
<v Speaker 5>robust list of Midnight Misfits. If you want to become

562
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:13.400
<v Speaker 5>a Midnight Misfit, that's easy. Go to the website, waltersterlingshow.com. waltersterlingshow.com

563
00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:23.210
<v Speaker 5>What's this? 800-848-9222 Yesterday we were talking about things that

564
00:35:23.230 --> 00:35:27.750
<v Speaker 5>really annoyed me. There are certain phrases that certain activities

565
00:35:27.789 --> 00:35:30.150
<v Speaker 5>that bother me. I don't want to hear about, let's

566
00:35:30.230 --> 00:35:33.889
<v Speaker 5>unpack this. Could we unpack this right now? Let's look

567
00:35:33.929 --> 00:35:35.550
<v Speaker 5>at it a different way. I don't want to hear that.

568
00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:39.920
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to watch anybody eating, drinking matcha. Do

569
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:42.510
<v Speaker 5>not order matcha when I'm around. I don't get it.

570
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:43.619
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

571
00:35:43.739 --> 00:35:46.780
<v Speaker 5>What is that? I don't understand why I have to

572
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:51.380
<v Speaker 5>use a shaving brush to make a drink. It's kind

573
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:55.750
<v Speaker 5>of weird. If it's a busy day, a hot day,

574
00:35:55.989 --> 00:35:57.610
<v Speaker 5>and we're in line to get ice cream at a

575
00:35:57.630 --> 00:36:01.250
<v Speaker 5>good ice cream place, do not say, can I get

576
00:36:01.309 --> 00:36:04.349
<v Speaker 5>a sample? No, you can't get a sample. The answer

577
00:36:04.389 --> 00:36:06.610
<v Speaker 5>is no. There'll be no samples. If I'm behind you

578
00:36:06.650 --> 00:36:08.929
<v Speaker 5>in line at an ice cream parlor, there will be

579
00:36:08.989 --> 00:36:12.469
<v Speaker 5>no samples. I was behind this woman the other day.

580
00:36:13.269 --> 00:36:17.840
<v Speaker 5>She ordered multiple samples. Oh, well, that's very interesting. Completely

581
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:20.920
<v Speaker 5>oblivious to the fact that, no exaggeration, there were 20

582
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:23.840
<v Speaker 5>people in line behind her waiting for her to Have

583
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:26.280
<v Speaker 5>a sample. Let me just try this. And then looking

584
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:29.280
<v Speaker 5>at their eight-year-old and saying, hey, Susie, do you want

585
00:36:29.340 --> 00:36:31.239
<v Speaker 5>some of this? Do you want to try some of this?

586
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:34.949
<v Speaker 5>Why don't you try something new? Do not try something new, Susie,

587
00:36:34.969 --> 00:36:35.869
<v Speaker 5>when I'm standing there.

588
00:36:35.989 --> 00:36:36.210
<v Speaker 7>No.

589
00:36:37.090 --> 00:36:42.429
<v Speaker 5>Catherine Collins, Barry Glick. Hey, Barry. Bill Buckingham, Charles Dempsey,

590
00:36:42.570 --> 00:36:46.840
<v Speaker 5>Wyatt Sharp. Hi, Wyatt. Sophia A., Drew S., Robert Young,

591
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:53.380
<v Speaker 5>Michael Leon, Mike Gull, Kathy M., Keith Mortensen, Mark Zaza,

592
00:36:53.460 --> 00:36:56.579
<v Speaker 5>these are a few of the Midnight Misfits. Welcome to

593
00:36:56.599 --> 00:37:03.170
<v Speaker 5>the other side of midnight. Kelly Martinson, Bill Buchanan, Charles Dempsey,

594
00:37:03.530 --> 00:37:07.050
<v Speaker 5>Rhonda B. These are the Midnight Misfits, part of a

595
00:37:07.110 --> 00:37:09.769
<v Speaker 5>very special group of people who work the great shift,

596
00:37:10.989 --> 00:37:20.130
<v Speaker 5>the first shift. That's us. There are so many problems

597
00:37:20.190 --> 00:37:22.550
<v Speaker 5>in our daily life when we have to deal with retail.

598
00:37:23.329 --> 00:37:26.650
<v Speaker 5>Just so many. What am I looking at here? Okay.

599
00:37:27.769 --> 00:37:31.670
<v Speaker 5>I work for John Katsimatidis, and I work for Margot Katsimatidis,

600
00:37:31.750 --> 00:37:33.809
<v Speaker 5>and I work for the Red Apple Audio Networks. And

601
00:37:33.829 --> 00:37:37.070
<v Speaker 5>I was thinking about this company for the few minutes

602
00:37:37.110 --> 00:37:40.400
<v Speaker 5>before I came on the air tonight. And I have

603
00:37:40.460 --> 00:37:44.380
<v Speaker 5>said to many, and the tricky thing about this is

604
00:37:44.460 --> 00:37:46.829
<v Speaker 5>it just sounds like I'm kissing butt. Now, if you

605
00:37:46.869 --> 00:37:48.329
<v Speaker 5>knew me at all, you'd know a couple of things.

606
00:37:48.369 --> 00:37:52.190
<v Speaker 5>You know, I'm from New Jersey. I am left-handed. I

607
00:37:52.230 --> 00:37:55.780
<v Speaker 5>was raised by a tough cookie. My mother was a

608
00:37:56.010 --> 00:37:59.920
<v Speaker 5>world-class mom, no complaints, but she was tough. And she

609
00:37:59.960 --> 00:38:04.519
<v Speaker 5>taught me to be very cynical and very leery of

610
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:08.000
<v Speaker 5>anybody that I met. And she taught me, I wasn't

611
00:38:08.019 --> 00:38:09.760
<v Speaker 5>born with this, she taught me how to size up

612
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:15.519
<v Speaker 5>people fast. And it has served me well. Because of that,

613
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:18.420
<v Speaker 5>I have made mistakes when hiring people in terms of

614
00:38:18.460 --> 00:38:20.590
<v Speaker 5>their skills, but never in terms of whether or not

615
00:38:20.619 --> 00:38:24.829
<v Speaker 5>they're honest, good people. And also, she gave me the

616
00:38:24.889 --> 00:38:29.010
<v Speaker 5>confidence to hire people who are smarter than me. The

617
00:38:29.090 --> 00:38:31.230
<v Speaker 5>best thing a person can do, I have found as

618
00:38:31.269 --> 00:38:37.800
<v Speaker 5>a manager, listen, I've run startups, venture startups, private startups.

619
00:38:38.260 --> 00:38:41.840
<v Speaker 5>I've run huge divisions in real companies that you've heard of.

620
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:46.010
<v Speaker 5>Any type of company you can imagine. I've been responsible

621
00:38:46.110 --> 00:38:52.070
<v Speaker 5>for running whatever, hiring a lot of people. The smartest

622
00:38:52.130 --> 00:38:54.550
<v Speaker 5>thing that a manager can do is two things. I

623
00:38:54.590 --> 00:38:56.789
<v Speaker 5>was taught this. Two things a manager can do that's

624
00:38:56.849 --> 00:39:00.869
<v Speaker 5>really smart. One, the title does not come with knowledge.

625
00:39:01.289 --> 00:39:03.969
<v Speaker 5>Whatever your title is, it's your job. It came with

626
00:39:04.429 --> 00:39:08.929
<v Speaker 5>no information. It gives you the opportunity to be a student,

627
00:39:09.489 --> 00:39:12.340
<v Speaker 5>to learn everything you can about that title for the

628
00:39:12.380 --> 00:39:15.719
<v Speaker 5>rest of your career. Whatever you need to learn That's

629
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:18.929
<v Speaker 5>what the title gives you. It brings no knowledge. The

630
00:39:18.969 --> 00:39:22.010
<v Speaker 5>worst managers are the ones who think, well, I have

631
00:39:22.050 --> 00:39:25.590
<v Speaker 5>this title now, and therefore I know everything that Jack

632
00:39:25.630 --> 00:39:29.309
<v Speaker 5>Welch knew. No, you don't. You have the opportunity to

633
00:39:29.349 --> 00:39:32.119
<v Speaker 5>learn everything. Jack Welch at General Electric knew, and then

634
00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:36.719
<v Speaker 5>hopefully not repeat his mistakes. What a horrible guy. Oh, God,

635
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:40.090
<v Speaker 5>the business people, they deified him. There was nothing worse

636
00:39:40.130 --> 00:39:44.150
<v Speaker 5>to deify. Anybody who comes in with the nickname at

637
00:39:44.210 --> 00:39:49.460
<v Speaker 5>General Electric of Neutron Jack, Why was he called Neutron Jack? Prophets? No,

638
00:39:49.500 --> 00:39:52.260
<v Speaker 5>he fired thousands of people. Really? That to me is

639
00:39:52.300 --> 00:39:56.139
<v Speaker 5>a great failure. You fire thousands of people, you have failed.

640
00:40:00.659 --> 00:40:04.199
<v Speaker 5>The title doesn't come with knowledge. And the other thing

641
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:08.789
<v Speaker 5>is hire smarter. Whatever the job is, hire people who

642
00:40:08.829 --> 00:40:11.889
<v Speaker 5>know much more about it than you do. Then you

643
00:40:11.909 --> 00:40:15.960
<v Speaker 5>get to learn from them and You don't have to

644
00:40:16.019 --> 00:40:18.440
<v Speaker 5>work as hard. Oh, they have it handled. I don't

645
00:40:18.460 --> 00:40:20.719
<v Speaker 5>have to worry about them. They know this job. They

646
00:40:20.739 --> 00:40:23.119
<v Speaker 5>got it down. They've done it for a long time.

647
00:40:24.019 --> 00:40:26.159
<v Speaker 5>Those are the best people to hire. The ones who

648
00:40:27.300 --> 00:40:29.219
<v Speaker 5>are so smart and know so much more than you

649
00:40:29.260 --> 00:40:37.380
<v Speaker 5>do that they have it handled. Many managers are threatened

650
00:40:37.420 --> 00:40:42.119
<v Speaker 5>by that. And that's too bad. The opportunity to hire

651
00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:45.170
<v Speaker 5>someone who's a lot smarter than you about something And

652
00:40:45.230 --> 00:40:47.610
<v Speaker 5>learn from them. What a gift. What a terrific thing.

653
00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:50.260
<v Speaker 5>Because in the words of Jack Benny, and this is

654
00:40:50.300 --> 00:40:54.300
<v Speaker 5>where a lot of managers forget. Jack Benny, great comedian, right?

655
00:40:54.420 --> 00:40:58.380
<v Speaker 5>He had a CBS primetime television show. And one of

656
00:40:58.420 --> 00:41:00.260
<v Speaker 5>his friends noticed it. He said, you know what, Jack?

657
00:41:01.260 --> 00:41:04.159
<v Speaker 5>You have a one-hour show. And on your one-hour show,

658
00:41:04.179 --> 00:41:11.489
<v Speaker 5>you have singers, dancers, other comics, puppeteers, ventriloquists, jugglers, all

659
00:41:11.530 --> 00:41:14.090
<v Speaker 5>these other people you're on for maybe years. five minutes

660
00:41:14.130 --> 00:41:17.409
<v Speaker 5>of your show, Jack. You're on for, like, maybe five

661
00:41:17.449 --> 00:41:21.309
<v Speaker 5>minutes of your show. And Jack said, yeah, but it's

662
00:41:21.409 --> 00:41:22.630
<v Speaker 5>still my show.

663
00:41:22.690 --> 00:41:24.909
<v Speaker 6>The biggest all-night show on American radio.

664
00:41:24.929 --> 00:41:29.199
<v Speaker 5>The Other Side of Midnight, Walter Sterling, Red Apple Audio Networks.

665
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:48.780
<v Speaker 1>The Other Side of Midnight with Walter Sterling. The Other

666
00:41:48.900 --> 00:41:51.420
<v Speaker 1>Side of Midnight with Walter Sterling.

667
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:59.280
<v Speaker 6>The people of Walmart on the other side of midnight.

668
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:04.309
<v Speaker 8>Jonesboro, Arkansas. Yeah, it's the home of Walmart, the corporate

669
00:42:04.530 --> 00:42:09.170
<v Speaker 8>headquarters of the world's largest corporations and really the corporation

670
00:42:09.690 --> 00:42:14.530
<v Speaker 8>that put Walmart on the map. And I like that.

671
00:42:14.550 --> 00:42:19.320
<v Speaker 8>His name, Michael Vincent Coleman. Not a kid, 43 years old,

672
00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:25.320
<v Speaker 8>and Coleman is now facing charges of first-degree murder, three

673
00:42:25.380 --> 00:42:29.949
<v Speaker 8>counts of criminal attempted homicide, second-degree battery, killing or injuring

674
00:42:29.989 --> 00:42:35.309
<v Speaker 8>an animal used by law enforcement, fleeing, resisting arrest, and

675
00:42:35.590 --> 00:42:40.340
<v Speaker 8>also having sex. 27 and a half grams of meth

676
00:42:40.590 --> 00:42:44.840
<v Speaker 8>suspected meth and perhaps some cocaine and uh and i

677
00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:48.440
<v Speaker 8>think that guy is not a good friend anybody's willing

678
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:53.909
<v Speaker 8>to hurt somebody that's a bad thing all the way

679
00:42:54.210 --> 00:42:59.210
<v Speaker 8>around walmart management alerted uh jonesboro police officer working off

680
00:42:59.230 --> 00:43:02.469
<v Speaker 8>duty security they wanted a man in the in the

681
00:43:02.650 --> 00:43:07.670
<v Speaker 8>East Highland Drive store, later identified as Coleman Band, for

682
00:43:08.510 --> 00:43:13.480
<v Speaker 8>prior things like shoplifting. You know, he must not be

683
00:43:13.559 --> 00:43:16.699
<v Speaker 8>much of a drug dealer. If you're also shoplifting, that

684
00:43:16.739 --> 00:43:19.719
<v Speaker 8>means your drug dealing hustle is not that good. From

685
00:43:19.780 --> 00:43:22.610
<v Speaker 8>what I understand, even though I do not have personal

686
00:43:22.650 --> 00:43:23.789
<v Speaker 8>experience doing this.

687
00:43:24.150 --> 00:43:24.710
<v Speaker 5>Right, Walter?

688
00:43:24.909 --> 00:43:25.090
<v Speaker 9>Maybe?

689
00:43:25.110 --> 00:43:25.230
<v Speaker 7>Maybe.

690
00:43:25.809 --> 00:43:29.889
<v Speaker 8>I don't tap. I'm good, I think. I've never dealt

691
00:43:29.969 --> 00:43:33.239
<v Speaker 8>meth or coke or drugs, but from everything I've seen,

692
00:43:33.739 --> 00:43:37.679
<v Speaker 8>that's a nifty way to make some money. The deal is,

693
00:43:37.780 --> 00:43:41.599
<v Speaker 8>if you get busted, you go to jail. It's a

694
00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:46.030
<v Speaker 8>risk-reward type of thing. If you're not making money at it,

695
00:43:46.849 --> 00:43:49.090
<v Speaker 8>give up the drug dealing. It's not good for you.

696
00:43:49.170 --> 00:43:53.519
<v Speaker 8>Driving over people, random sweet people... At your neighborhood Walmart,

697
00:43:54.099 --> 00:43:56.860
<v Speaker 8>not good either. I go shopping at Walmart. I was

698
00:43:56.900 --> 00:44:00.760
<v Speaker 8>there the other day. It was great. The people were super.

699
00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:08.510
<v Speaker 8>And you look at the innocents, wide-eyed children, grannies going

700
00:44:08.570 --> 00:44:12.610
<v Speaker 8>around circles like a Roomba. That's what makes Walmart special.

701
00:44:12.690 --> 00:44:16.849
<v Speaker 8>Michael Vincent Coleman, likely going to jail, probably guilty, but

702
00:44:16.889 --> 00:44:20.760
<v Speaker 8>we probably can't say that. So he's innocent until all

703
00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:25.059
<v Speaker 8>charges are proven. For the people of Walmart, I'm Velo Wool.

00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Louis?

719
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:18.420
<v Speaker 5>What's going on?

720
00:45:20.059 --> 00:45:21.619
<v Speaker 3>Oh, you have to look her up.

721
00:45:22.739 --> 00:45:25.030
<v Speaker 5>No, I don't have to look her up. You're on

722
00:45:25.070 --> 00:45:26.119
<v Speaker 5>the phone. You can tell me.

723
00:45:27.829 --> 00:45:35.250
<v Speaker 3>Oh, she's a brilliant artist. She's female. Yeah, she's brilliant.

724
00:45:35.469 --> 00:45:37.849
<v Speaker 3>I think it'll converge.

725
00:45:39.269 --> 00:45:41.389
<v Speaker 5>No idea what she was talking about. Do you have

726
00:45:41.429 --> 00:45:46.860
<v Speaker 5>any idea what she was talking about? I really don't

727
00:45:46.900 --> 00:45:49.179
<v Speaker 5>want them screen screened, but do we talk to them

728
00:45:49.219 --> 00:45:51.039
<v Speaker 5>at all before they come on the air? Just to

729
00:45:51.500 --> 00:45:54.659
<v Speaker 5>make sure, like, we're speaking English, we're on the same planet.

730
00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:57.820
<v Speaker 5>I'm not reprimanding you, Pete. You know I love you,

731
00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:01.599
<v Speaker 5>but boy. What was I supposed to do with that?

732
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:04.329
<v Speaker 5>You should come to Peaches in St.

733
00:46:04.349 --> 00:46:04.570
<v Speaker 4>Louis.

734
00:46:04.630 --> 00:46:07.960
<v Speaker 5>Is that a 1990s record store? That's the last thing

735
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:12.639
<v Speaker 5>I heard about 1990 was a Peaches record store available

736
00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:20.929
<v Speaker 5>in Westwood, California, 800-848-9222, with Walter Sterling. This AOC person,

737
00:46:22.010 --> 00:46:25.769
<v Speaker 5>she is freezing her eggs. And she's freezing her eggs,

738
00:46:26.130 --> 00:46:29.510
<v Speaker 5>and she's very annoyed that insurance does not cover her

739
00:46:29.730 --> 00:46:35.400
<v Speaker 5>IVF treatment. Now, I agree that IVF treatments should be

740
00:46:35.460 --> 00:46:39.179
<v Speaker 5>covered by insurance. And I'm not a woman, so I

741
00:46:39.219 --> 00:46:41.699
<v Speaker 5>really don't have any opinion about what she's doing, how

742
00:46:41.739 --> 00:46:44.070
<v Speaker 5>she's doing it, what she does with her body. It's

743
00:46:44.130 --> 00:46:48.429
<v Speaker 5>her body. And that's the relationship between her and her doctor.

744
00:46:49.829 --> 00:46:52.510
<v Speaker 5>And I believe anything that she does with her doctor

745
00:46:52.550 --> 00:46:55.800
<v Speaker 5>should be covered by all insurance. And I'm thinking how

746
00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:59.500
<v Speaker 5>magnanimous that is. And what a good feminist I am.

747
00:46:59.960 --> 00:47:02.179
<v Speaker 5>Do you have that recording of her saying these things?

748
00:47:03.639 --> 00:47:06.000
<v Speaker 5>Or do I have to do the show from scratch

749
00:47:06.059 --> 00:47:07.179
<v Speaker 5>every night? Do you have that?

750
00:47:07.489 --> 00:47:09.139
<v Speaker 4>Matt? Okay.

751
00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:12.800
<v Speaker 5>Anyway, so she was saying she's going to freeze her eggs.

752
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:13.940
<v Speaker 5>She's going to keep her eggs.

753
00:47:14.099 --> 00:47:14.340
<v Speaker 2>Great.

754
00:47:15.139 --> 00:47:17.539
<v Speaker 5>And then she was complaining that IVF is not covered

755
00:47:17.579 --> 00:47:20.059
<v Speaker 5>by her insurance. And I say it should be covered

756
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:23.340
<v Speaker 5>by all insurance. And then I started to think it through.

757
00:47:24.500 --> 00:47:29.110
<v Speaker 5>If you're a guy and you have erectile dysfunction and

758
00:47:29.170 --> 00:47:34.130
<v Speaker 5>you get Viagra or other medications, no insurance company pays

759
00:47:34.190 --> 00:47:38.269
<v Speaker 5>for it. None. What is the deal there? that IVF

760
00:47:38.329 --> 00:47:42.909
<v Speaker 5>is paid for by many federal programs, many federal programs,

761
00:47:43.070 --> 00:47:49.480
<v Speaker 5>many insurance companies, but not erectile dysfunction medications. And I

762
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:52.980
<v Speaker 5>haven't heard one congressman, I've never heard Brendan Gill pounding,

763
00:47:53.579 --> 00:47:56.820
<v Speaker 5>John Kennedy, I've never heard him pounding on the desk

764
00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:59.659
<v Speaker 5>and saying, this has to be fixed, why can't this

765
00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:03.139
<v Speaker 5>be fixed, why can't men get reimbursed for erections, why?
