But we're having 15 00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:50,159 fun while we do it. I have been doing this 16 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,159 kind of coverage for many, many, many years. I have 17 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,159 gone out to stand on the side of the road 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,159 to tell you not to drive on the roads. I 19 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,880 have gone out and braved the element to tell you 20 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,760 do not brave the elements. I have been essential personnel, 21 00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:11,439 and so I feel comfortable dictating the terms of a 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,319 little operation that I like to call snow Man on 23 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:22,319 the street, wherein I deputize everybody in the audience to 24 00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:26,560 call in with their news reports. There are a couple 25 00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:31,640 of rules. The first rule, I'm going to ask you 26 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,560 when I throw it to you, I'm going to give 27 00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:37,120 your name and your location, like your town or your city, whatever, 28 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,680 or if you've got like a cross street area you 29 00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:43,040 want to say, that's fine, tell Steve the collscreener, and 30 00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:46,439 you're going to say your name and where you are. 31 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,280 And then I'm gonna throw it to you and I'm 32 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,239 gonna say, like Joe in Charlotte, what's the mood? That's 33 00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:57,560 the question I throw it out, and that's how you 34 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,120 start your report, what's the mood? Because that is of 35 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:05,799 course the question that true journalismers use when they don't 36 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,960 know what other question to ask. You see it all 37 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000 the time when they're doing this scene setters. Reporters will 38 00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:17,639 do a scene setter like so, you know, standing in 39 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,199 front of this building where something is going to happen 40 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,759 in another two hours, and then the anchor will ask 41 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,919 some silly question like. 42 00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: What's the mood? What's the mood? What's the mood? 43 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 2: In the sports world, they have it's not the same, 44 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,800 but they have a similar type of a crutch where 45 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,759 they just say talk about which isn't really a question, 46 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,719 it's a demand. But talk about whatever, talk about this, 47 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:41,120 talk about that, and then the coach just talks in 48 00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:43,759 sports ball coach talk, and then that's the end of 49 00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:45,879 the clip. And it has just been a complete waste 50 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,680 of time, which is really the point, okay, because I 51 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,319 don't need like I can actually hang on a second. 52 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: Let me look out the window, all right. 53 00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: I have no precipitation outside the window here in West Charlotte. 54 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: Nothing. 55 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,599 Speaker 2: The mood is disappointment. Okay, So that's the first thing 56 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:07,759 that you do. Answer the question as I toss it 57 00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:10,360 to you, what's the mood. And then when you're done 58 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,159 with your report, when you've you've told us all of 59 00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:19,800 the interesting facts and data, you've really transported us all 60 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,680 to your location, so you've painted the picture. It's like 61 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,000 we're right there with you. Remember you have to throw 62 00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:29,960 it back to me. You got to say back to you, Pete, 63 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,800 because if you don't say back to you, Pete, then 64 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,919 I'm not going to not to start talking because I'm 65 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,039 going to let you do your report. 66 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,719 Speaker 1: Okay, those are the rules. 67 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: You can talk about the road conditions and the precipitation 68 00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,240 people's behavior, whatever you want. 69 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: It's two rules, though, what's the mood? And then back 70 00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:48,240 to you, Pete. 71 00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:50,919 Speaker 2: Now, if I ask you a follow up question, just 72 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,520 a heads up, you have to start your answer with 73 00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:59,120 great question, Pete.

As you know, Pete, 219 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,919 we're in northern Mecklenburg County and Davidson is an idyllic 220 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,919 liberal sanctuary, and I've seen a couple of people wearing 221 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,919 I can tell that they're apprehensive because they're not used 222 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,080 to seeing snow. But they're wearing these red sweaters, and 223 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,559 on the sweaters, I've seen a couple of these that 224 00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:19,639 says he is now a felon, and that they seem 225 00:13:19,759 --> 00:13:24,480 joyful with that.

And we're reporting live from 464 00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:14,160 the west part of Lincoln County, which would never be 465 00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:17,839 confused as a Lincoln Ton or East Lincoln, which is 466 00:26:17,839 --> 00:26:19,880 pretty much just Northwest and Ecklenburg. 467 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 12: Back to you, Pete, that's some. 468 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,759 Speaker 2: Vital information about the geographic designations too, Ned.

As I sit in my living room, I 515 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,680 am noticing there are no squirrels playing in the yards 516 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,759 in my neighborhood today. As a daily observer of the 517 00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:50,200 neighborhood squirrels, I can tell you this is a sign 518 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,839 of a potential weather disaster. I'm seeing a few flakes 519 00:28:54,279 --> 00:29:00,680 that have just started. Back to you, Pete, we now 520 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,559 go to Lake Wiley JB. In Lake Wiley or well 521 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,960 at Lake Wiley JB. What's the mood? 522 00:29:09,839 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 19: Thank you for taking my call here, and Pete, the 523 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,759 situation here, the mood is calculating, And I don't want 524 00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:22,559 it to be calculating in some type of nefarious way 525 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,400 or sinister way, but I'm sitting here and it looks 526 00:29:26,519 --> 00:29:31,680 like calculating the rate at which the snow is falling 527 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,440 out here right now. To get to that one and 528 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,839 a half inch level, it's going to be sometime around 529 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,720 mid March. So I think maybe you know we could, 530 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,680 we could take a pause from the panic button. But 531 00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:49,720 you know, this weather thing, it's it's it's really strange. 532 00:29:49,759 --> 00:29:53,480 It's dynamic. Some people don't seem to understand that. They 533 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,839 think it's just static, but it's dynamic. The only people 534 00:29:55,839 --> 00:29:57,839 who can really tell what's going to happen with the 535 00:29:57,839 --> 00:30:01,640 weather is the climate age activists, because they know what's 536 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,480 gonna do in one hundred years now. So you know, 537 00:30:05,559 --> 00:30:06,880 we just do the best we can. 538 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: And back to you, Pete, compelling and rich. 539 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 2: Thank you, JB. We now go to East Charlotte. Sarah 540 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,599 in East Charlotte. What's the mood? 541 00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:24,319 Speaker 7: Oh well, Pete. 542 00:30:24,359 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 9: Here Sarah and very important for me, Charlotte. And it's 543 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,519 a little bit confusing here. It seems that it's full 544 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:36,480 of just absolute total misinformation. There's absolutely no flake falling 545 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,480 from the sky. And as we say this, we are 546 00:30:39,519 --> 00:30:43,319 now oh wait, here come the drones are coming in. 547 00:30:43,599 --> 00:30:45,440 They must have heard that we were telling the truth, 548 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:46,119 that this was all. 549 00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 17: It form it. 550 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,519 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we've apparently lost Sarah. We'll check back 551 00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:54,599 in with Sarah when we can. All right, that'll do 552 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,200 it for this episode.
