Speaker 1: Running a strange program.
Speaker 2: Y'all. This is the other side of Midnight Weekend Review
Speaker 2: with Walter Sterling, the biggest all night show American radio.
Speaker 2: You are listening to the biggest all night show in
Speaker 2: American radio, the.
Speaker 3: Other side of Midnight wyat sharp, Welcome to the other
Speaker 3: side of Midnight high Hello, good.
Speaker 4: To be back.
Speaker 3: Really, why do you say that.
Speaker 4: Always? It's such a pleasure.
Speaker 3: Why is this a crappy phone connection? What's that about?
Speaker 3: Do you hear the problem?
Speaker 5: I hear, I do not know you.
Speaker 3: I hear every third word, and I hear an echo.
Speaker 3: So we're going to hang up and call you back. Okay,
Speaker 3: so hang up, We're gonna hang up on you. We're
Speaker 3: going to call you back and I will vamp hi
Speaker 3: the other side of midnight. It's a show filled with
Speaker 3: exciting production and complicated hoops and it's a yeah, Oh
Speaker 3: it's Monday morning. Welcome brand new week I hate it
Speaker 3: one morning men say that. It's like, I mean, a
Speaker 3: brand new weekend, and I've got earphones and I can't
Speaker 3: hear anything in test test I've got oh, we got
Speaker 3: the the earphones with the tin the tinfoil like you
Speaker 3: made when you were a kid, and you would set
Speaker 3: up an intercom that you could talk to your best
Speaker 3: friend at the house next door. Well, that's what I've got.
Speaker 3: It's a special challenge. Do you hear an edge in
Speaker 3: my voice? Pay no attention to it. Just pay attention
Speaker 3: to the words. I had the best weekend. There are
Speaker 3: two reasons for this. And I hope you had a well,
Speaker 3: I don't care if you had the best weekend. But
Speaker 3: I had a great weekend. And here's the weekend I had.
Speaker 3: My wife and children were not home any questions, and
Speaker 3: then they're not going to be home all week. And
Speaker 3: then I did what I wanted to do. Now I'm
Speaker 3: going to give you an example. Maybe you can relate
Speaker 3: to this. Maybe you can share this. When I was
Speaker 3: in a room and I wanted to go to a
Speaker 3: different room, I stood up and I walked to that room,
Speaker 3: like what I know, it's insane. Nobody said did you
Speaker 3: leave anything? Did you leave any cups in the TV room?
Speaker 3: Are there any cups in the TV room? For some reason,
Speaker 3: the inventory on the cups dominates my wife's thinking. It
Speaker 3: is completely changed from our honeymoon. Now it's did you
Speaker 3: leave anything in the TV room? Is there anything in
Speaker 3: there that I'll need to pick up later. You know
Speaker 3: how this goes. You've seen this transcript your entire life.
Speaker 3: Your mother shared it with you, your wife has shared
Speaker 3: it with you. If you made that mistake. Every time.
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, we were in the car
Speaker 3: with my grandfather. Every time on a Saturday we went
Speaker 3: by a church and there was a wedding four thirty
Speaker 3: on a Saturday afternoon. My grandfather would always say the
Speaker 3: same thing, Go another mistake, That's all he'd say, without
Speaker 3: any extrapolation, without any comment. It was like another mistake,
Speaker 3: and there it is. And here's the best part of
Speaker 3: that story. I have a happy marriage. This is I
Speaker 3: have a good marriage, and I'm delighted when they're all
Speaker 3: away for a week. They're down with her sister and
Speaker 3: the dreaded brother in law. The dreaded brother in law.
Speaker 3: I watch something in this time alone that I don't
Speaker 3: binge watch. I view people who binge watch TV shows.
Speaker 3: As week. I watch an episode and then I stop,
Speaker 3: and then I do something constructive, like go into the kitchen,
Speaker 3: and then a day or two later, I'll watch the
Speaker 3: next episode. And in the next episode, but this time,
Speaker 3: I see this series and I watched the first episode
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh my god, this is incredible, and
Speaker 3: then the next one and I binge watched. I would
Speaker 3: binge watch all eight episodes of this particular series. That
Speaker 3: was like, WHOA never saw anything this great for me.
Speaker 3: It may not be perfect for you, but I think
Speaker 3: you'll have a good time. It's called Star City. You
Speaker 3: may recall that Russia had a Cape Canaverral. Russia had
Speaker 3: a Cape Kennedy, and it was called Star City. That's
Speaker 3: where all of their rockets went off from. That's where
Speaker 3: they are astronauts and the teams that built the rockets worked.
Speaker 3: It was in one isolated place, much like Florida, and
Speaker 3: it was called Star City. This is about an alternate
Speaker 3: history where the Russians got to the Moon first. All right,
Speaker 3: you've that series I was called something Beyond Space or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but this was different. This was Russia
Speaker 3: beat us to the moon. And this series is about
Speaker 3: what happened after that at Star City to the Russians,
Speaker 3: what happened next in the Russian space program. And it's
Speaker 3: not about getting into space. It's not about all of
Speaker 3: the challenges getting into space. It's about living at Star
Speaker 3: City Now. I always thought that was a better name
Speaker 3: than Cape Canaveral. I always thought that was a better
Speaker 3: name than Cape Kennedy. I thought, wow, star City, that
Speaker 3: is pretty cool. I watched all eight episodes and it
Speaker 3: was stunning. Do we have Wyatt?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: Is there a reason we don't have? Whyatt? Is it
Speaker 3: a new phone system to Canada? What is the problem there? Well,
Speaker 3: just keep calling, just keep calling, radio show, live, radio show.
Speaker 3: Walter's talking away. Probably should just keep not talking to
Speaker 3: each other. Just trying to get Wyatt. I know I'm insane.
Speaker 3: I want you to hear from Wyatt Sharp, who joins
Speaker 3: us at the beginning of every Monday morning show, Sharp
Speaker 3: as hell. He happens to be a senior in high
Speaker 3: school who sounds better than anybody on this radio network.
Speaker 3: He's a really smart guy, but he's also a shockingly
Speaker 3: good broadcaster. I'm very nervous. Ah, He's about putting him
Speaker 3: on because he does sound better than I do, and
Speaker 3: that is a challenge. No, I didn't mean it that way.
Speaker 3: It's you know what I'm talking about anyway, So it
Speaker 3: star City. Now, get a load of what this is.
Speaker 3: We get to see what the Soviet Union worked like
Speaker 3: at the height of the Cold War, at the very
Speaker 3: height of their power sixty sixty one, sixty two sixty three,
Speaker 3: when krus Jeff was in charge and then Breshnef was
Speaker 3: in charge. It was like really hardcore Russian and we
Speaker 3: get to see how it operated in ways that we're terrifying.
Speaker 3: Their spy system way advance compared to ours, their military
Speaker 3: internal operations way advance compared to ours. And if it's
Speaker 3: an alternate history as to what happened after they got
Speaker 3: to the moon first, how did they deal with it?
Speaker 3: What was fascinating is what happened to us after we
Speaker 3: got to the moon first. And we'll talk about that.
Speaker 3: Do you have him now? Guys? Do you have him now?
Speaker 3: Could I talk to him? Are you just going to
Speaker 3: keep talking to him? This is he that charming to you?
Speaker 5: Ay?
Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, yeah yea. I'll tell you more about Star
Speaker 3: City in seconds, But right now I want to talk
Speaker 3: about Whyatt Sharp. Welcome to the other side of midnight, Wyatt.
Speaker 3: Were they having a chat with you?
Speaker 5: Ah?
Speaker 7: You know it's the great Canadian cell service, I think
Speaker 7: is the problem?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not funny. You have updates for us? Whyt
Speaker 3: runs a YouTube channel that's terrific. He also happens to
Speaker 3: be a senior in high school, has booked amazing guests
Speaker 3: like Hillary Clinton, and has a has a real gift,
Speaker 3: like a real gift. You're going to use this to
Speaker 3: get into Harvard. I know you will. So what's your news?
Speaker 3: What what are you doing?
Speaker 4: This week? In PARTE?
Speaker 7: The Nancy Guthrie stuff has really continued to get a
Speaker 7: lot of attention. After my interview with the PMA County
Speaker 7: Sheriff Chris Nanos, there's been a lot of developments in
Speaker 7: the case. They release some ransom notes, and in my
Speaker 7: interview with him with this a little bit last week,
Speaker 7: it's been kind of expanded upon. They confirm that they're
Speaker 7: using something called genetic genealogy to basically connect family members
Speaker 7: to the potential suspect and an effort and make their
Speaker 7: investigation move along a little bit faster because people are
Speaker 7: getting pretty frustrated at the pace of the investigation.
Speaker 3: What does that mean?
Speaker 7: Well, basically, what is genealogy?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 3: What what is the pace? When do they expect some conclusion?
Speaker 3: Are they happy with the pace?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I think That's what I'm getting at is that they're
Speaker 7: definitely not. And it's not so much even they're frustrated
Speaker 7: with the pace of the investigation. So much is the
Speaker 7: fact that the FBI director Cash Bettel, for example, said
Speaker 7: just this past week that they were withheld from the
Speaker 7: scene for too long and that the sheriff of was
Speaker 7: didn't allow the FBI to use Quantico to.
Speaker 4: Go through a lot of the DNA in various labs.
Speaker 7: Quanticos, of course, the FBI's premier.
Speaker 4: Lab that they use for you know.
Speaker 7: Most of these types of high profile investigations. But the
Speaker 7: local officials there refused, and the FBI attributes that refusal to,
Speaker 7: you know, the slowed pace of this investigation.
Speaker 3: Why could a local sheriff prevent the FBI from becoming involved?
Speaker 3: How does that work? I would have assumed the FBI
Speaker 3: had priority.
Speaker 7: You know, that's a great question, and it's one that
Speaker 7: a lot of people are asking, But it's actually the
Speaker 7: state officials that can prevent the FBI from accessing the scene,
Speaker 7: and that's exactly what they did.
Speaker 4: You also have I've.
Speaker 7: Been seeing online some people saying, well, why can't the
Speaker 7: federal government just remove the sheriff.
Speaker 4: And that goes back to the fact that in Arizona.
Speaker 7: They have a democratic governor and Chris Nanos, the sheriff
Speaker 7: there is a Democrat, So you know, even though the
Speaker 7: sheriff is the lead investigator, there's still a lot of
Speaker 7: partisan politics at play.
Speaker 3: Well. Plus, isn't the sheriff elected there, not appointed?
Speaker 4: Correct?
Speaker 3: Yes, therefore it'd be impossible to remove the sheriff he
Speaker 3: was appointed. They'd have a better shot. But what I
Speaker 3: don't understand is why, Well you don't have this answer,
Speaker 3: but why would they delay? Why wouldn't they want all
Speaker 3: the help that they could possibly get. Is it just
Speaker 3: so that they'd get the credit? Is that it so
Speaker 3: the sheriff could solve the case and get the credit
Speaker 3: without help.
Speaker 7: I think that's definitely part of it, because I think, again,
Speaker 7: going back to the politics, he wants to be, you know,
Speaker 7: the poster child so to speak, for solving the investigation,
Speaker 7: and if the FBI comes in and solves the case,
Speaker 7: then you know, it might take some of it.
Speaker 5: Away from him.
Speaker 7: But I will also say that part of the problem
Speaker 7: is that pe mccounty, the area where this is happening,
Speaker 7: they have not dealt with high profile investigations like this ever,
Speaker 7: not even just recently, but Ever, the last high profile
Speaker 7: thing that happened in p mccounty was the shooting of
Speaker 7: gab Giffords, and that was over ten years ago. And
Speaker 7: so I think a lot of it I attribute to
Speaker 7: just not really a whole lot of expertise in that area,
Speaker 7: even down to you know, a lot of the not
Speaker 7: just the sheriff himself, but a lot of the people
Speaker 7: who make up the office of the sheriff. Through no
Speaker 7: fault of their own, this is something that really they
Speaker 7: weren't prepared for because of the sure size of their community.
Speaker 3: You and I have never heard of Puma County, Arizona before.
Speaker 3: This must be a very real, very rural, desert oriented,
Speaker 3: abandoned community, and it's curious that a woman with those
Speaker 3: means would have lived in such a pathetic place.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I just think for her, I mean,
Speaker 4: her house.
Speaker 7: Is very nice. I think a lot of people I
Speaker 7: live in a very rural area, hence the self service sometimes.
Speaker 7: But I think that for a lot of people who
Speaker 7: know Nancy Guttri, it was actually just them trying to
Speaker 7: map out how is it that someone would even know
Speaker 7: how to get to her house because of how rural
Speaker 7: and remote her house actually is. And that's why in
Speaker 7: the very beginning of the investigation, as with many investigations
Speaker 7: of this nature, you have people turning to the immediate
Speaker 7: people who knew her as kind of the first primary
Speaker 7: suspects in the investigation because of how rual and inaccessible
Speaker 7: her house actually was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my first thought was the brother, the brother, the
Speaker 3: son in law who looks like resputant. The son in
Speaker 3: laws looks terrifying. That was my first thought. I assume
Speaker 3: they have they have blocked him out and he isn't it.
Speaker 4: He's been ruled out.
Speaker 5: He's been ruled out.
Speaker 3: All right. Yeah, there are other stories you guys are
Speaker 3: working on tonight.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: The other one that I found and we've hindered at
Speaker 7: it before, but not as directly, and that is that
Speaker 7: gen Z is actually starting to put their phone down
Speaker 7: more so than before. Because, of course, what we know
Speaker 7: is gen Z uses phons more than any other generation.
Speaker 7: They're finding innovative ways to use it, but sometimes they're
Speaker 7: getting addicted to it, right, And that's why you've seen
Speaker 7: governments trying to ban both cell phones, especially in educational settings,
Speaker 7: but also banning things like social media as well. But
Speaker 7: there's the report that's kind of out now that says
Speaker 7: that young people are actually not using cell phones as
Speaker 7: often as they perhaps were, and a lot of it
Speaker 7: comes down to young people wanting to have more social
Speaker 7: time with friends and with family, because it's something that
Speaker 7: people have lost out on a lot recently with COVID nineteen,
Speaker 7: they were locked inside their houses, they were having to quarantine.
Speaker 7: And so it's really the constant notifications and their algorithms
Speaker 7: and the social.
Speaker 4: Pressure that is in some ways creating a lot.
Speaker 7: Of chronic stress for young people. And I think young
Speaker 7: people themselves are starting to realize that.
Speaker 3: All right, Wyatt Sharp, what's the name of your channel
Speaker 3: on YouTube.
Speaker 7: The Sharp Exchange. And We've got some really big interviews
Speaker 7: coming up as well, which I'm sure we will talk
Speaker 7: about here on your show over the course of the
Speaker 7: next few weeks. I won't give away one of them
Speaker 7: because it's very big, but I have one coming out
Speaker 7: tomorrow with James Carville on the state of the Democratic
Speaker 7: Party and kind of where things are heading. We're talking
Speaker 7: about the Michigan primary that's coming up on August fourth,
Speaker 7: and lots of other news as well The.

Speaker 2: This is the other side of Midnight. Weekend Review with
Speaker 2: Walter Sterling. This is the other side of Midnight with
Speaker 2: Walter Sterling. Weekend Review.
Speaker 6: Y'all listening to Walter Sterling on the other's side of
Speaker 6: Midnight on WUABC. The station nets so out of side,
Speaker 6: other people, the sound to sleep. We're still talking till
Speaker 6: the morning light with the pack a hostess orange cupcakes.
Speaker 6: Let's all taken another bite on the other side night.
Speaker 3: Mattheas Boom Boom in Hollywood. Welcome to the other side
Speaker 3: of Midnight with Walter Sterling live from Hollywood. Finally we
Speaker 3: have a live connection that reaches Hollywood. It cost a
Speaker 3: tremendous amount of money to get this in and fourteen
Speaker 3: people working over time to actually be able to reach
Speaker 3: to you. And soon I'll get a pair of headphones
Speaker 3: that enable me to hear stuff and I'll get on it.
Speaker 3: Right now, I'm staring at a black computer screen, and
Speaker 3: then over there is another black computer screen. But you know,
Speaker 3: the trick is to ignore all that and just plow ahead.
Speaker 3: And then you know what people say, You know what
Speaker 3: people say. Then they say, they say, boy, he's a professional.
Speaker 3: What a professional he is if he can do a
Speaker 3: show with a black computer screen there and another one
Speaker 3: over there. And then if I touched one that was
Speaker 3: you know, feeding Dominic's Sacred Show and it went out
Speaker 3: for eight seconds, oh my god, that's a disaster. But
Speaker 3: if it happened to me twice, there's no problem. You know.
Speaker 3: The overnight guy matteas Boom boom in Hollywood. Thank you
Speaker 3: for being my friend. I don't have any.
Speaker 5: Left pleasure to be your friend, and I bid you
Speaker 5: a very pleasant mooring. Although you've had so much fun thus.
Speaker 3: Far, I've had a special time.
Speaker 5: It's a special time. Speaking of special times, you were
Speaker 5: at home by yourself. You were enjoying the new series
Speaker 5: on Apple TV, Star City, And I'm curious to know
Speaker 5: where the orange flavored Hostess cupcakes involved at all. Well,
Speaker 5: you were alone and secretly there.
Speaker 3: That's a very good question. The orange cupcakes are such
Speaker 3: a controversial food that I don't dare eat them in
Speaker 3: the home. I only eat them alone in the car,
Speaker 3: which is also where I eat gas station chicken. Now,
Speaker 3: have you ever had gas station chicken?
Speaker 5: I haven't been that brave.
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't think I was that brave either, But
Speaker 3: I saw every time I went to this one gas
Speaker 3: station which had this incredible aroma of gas station chicken,
Speaker 3: and I saw it being made and you could get wings,
Speaker 3: legs or or something strip strip not a known part
Speaker 3: of a chicken. And so I and it smelled great.
Speaker 3: But here's the two things that persuaded me to try it. One,
Speaker 3: the owner of the gas station made it. It was
Speaker 3: always the owner of the gas station who made it,
Speaker 3: so I figured there was some hope there. But the
Speaker 3: other thing is there was always a line. It didn't
Speaker 3: matter what time day, I went in, there was always
Speaker 3: a line of people wanting the gas station chicken. Hmmm,
Speaker 3: and there then I got it. And it's a delicate
Speaker 3: synthesis of light, grease and just enough spice in the coating. Wow,
Speaker 3: I know, and it's cooked perfectly. I never thought i'd
Speaker 3: eat it, but I can't admit it to members of
Speaker 3: my family though, to be furious that I would eat
Speaker 3: the gas station chicken.
Speaker 5: Furious did the chicken? Can me get home with you
Speaker 5: to watch the television program this weekend or did it
Speaker 5: just stay at the.
Speaker 3: Guest I sit in the car at the gas station,
Speaker 3: don't I don't even leave the gas station in the car.
Speaker 3: And then then I'll go home and I will watch
Speaker 3: Star City, which is uh so far from me the
Speaker 3: best television I've seen in years.
Speaker 5: I understand that Ronald D. Moore was one of the
Speaker 5: creators on that, and he's got you know, he's involved
Speaker 5: in the Battlestar galact the TV series, the Star Trek Generations,
Speaker 5: Star Trek Next Generation, Star Trek First Contact. So he's
Speaker 5: a sci fi guy, and I think that's probably why
Speaker 5: he's had a lot of sci fi experience. Did he
Speaker 5: do probably one of the reasons.
Speaker 3: Did he do Strange New Worlds? Is he involved with
Speaker 3: Strange New Worlds? Which is amazing.
Speaker 5: No, I haven't seen that series, and I don't know
Speaker 5: if he is, but I know that he did those
Speaker 5: three at least, and so well, that's one of the reasons.
Speaker 5: It's it's going in that direction.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's something I.
Speaker 5: Have to tell you. This has been the biggest weekend
Speaker 5: Hollywood in recent memory. I mean this is a big thing.
Speaker 5: I mean big, big, big, big. The two movies that
Speaker 5: are out have now made Hollywood the most money it's
Speaker 5: made since before COVID. So the first one, of course,
Speaker 5: is Spider Man Brand New Day. We talked about it
Speaker 5: last week. That's the new Spider Man movie, which is
Speaker 5: out right now and is rather good, and it certainly
Speaker 5: seems to be reflected in the attendance worldwide Spider Man
Speaker 5: has made since last Friday, nine and twenty seven million dollars.
Speaker 3: That's impossible, it's nuts.
Speaker 5: This makes it the biggest opening weekend, second only to
Speaker 5: the one point two billion opening weekend of Avengers Endgame,
Speaker 5: and that was before COVID. So, as I thought might happen,
Speaker 5: Spider Man would knock the Odyssey out of first place,
Speaker 5: and it certainly has, but nine hundred and twenty seven
Speaker 5: million dollars worldwide. Now locally, what I mean locally, I
Speaker 5: mean in the US and Canada, The Spider Man made
Speaker 5: three hundred and fifty five million. But that's an amazing
Speaker 5: worldwide gross. So it's remarkable to me that the other
Speaker 5: movie that also has Tom Holland, Zendia and John Burnhal,
Speaker 5: The Odyssey, it just sailed past nine hundred and eleven
Speaker 5: million worldwide on its third weekend. So it's been a
Speaker 5: very nice time in Hollywood. Universals are proding its biggest
Speaker 5: grosses probably since those old Monster movies with Boris Carloff,
Speaker 5: like Frankenstein and Baylor Lugosi. So it's it's a good
Speaker 5: time in Hollywood, and people are very happy with Tom Holland,
Speaker 5: who's having a great time in his career right now.
Speaker 5: He just married Zendaya, He's having these terrific movies and
Speaker 5: then he's going to play of all people, Fred Astaire
Speaker 5: coming up, so well, thank god he has work in Hollywood.
Speaker 3: Thank god he has worked. Because we were worried about
Speaker 3: Tom Holland getting work. I know you won't, all right,
Speaker 3: and what are you reviewing next week.
Speaker 5: Do you know, Oh, I haven't seen the playlist yet.
Speaker 5: From the studios, there's some sort of a rom com
Speaker 5: that has sort of a mysterious thing that I don't
Speaker 5: even remember the title. You know. I go to four
Speaker 5: pictures a week, and I just put in my calendar
Speaker 5: I have to go. I've never watched the trailers ahead
Speaker 5: of time because I don't want to be influenced. And
Speaker 5: then when I see them, I said, ah, well that
Speaker 5: was good or not good, and then we talk about it.
Speaker 5: So looking forward to talking to you again on Friday morning.
Speaker 3: How do I find you on Facebook?
Speaker 5: Mattias Bomball's Hollywood on Facebook It's M A T I
Speaker 5: A S B O M B A l apostrophe s
Speaker 5: Hollywood just like the City. Matias Bomball's Hollywood on Facebook.
Speaker 3: Thanks Walter, Thank you for being on the Other side
Speaker 3: of Midnight with Walter Sterling. You and I are on
Speaker 3: the radio in Chicago on the Great wg N.
Speaker 6: It's Sterling, Walter Sterling. On the other side of Midnight.
Speaker 3: It's Sterling, Walter Sterling. You should be here every night.
Speaker 2: He takes to the air without a care and does
Speaker 2: his nightly shows and the midnight in this fits all
Speaker 2: tune in for reasons. Nobody knows.
Speaker 11: It's Sterling, Walter Sterling.
Speaker 2: On the other side of midnight.
Speaker 7: It's Sterling, Walter Sterling.
Speaker 8: You should be.
Speaker 10: Here every night.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, there's no accounting for tastes. There you are?
Speaker 3: You got a phone number, we can talk at any time.
Speaker 3: I'll give you a reason to talk in just moments.
Speaker 3: Eight hundred eight four eight nine two two two. My gosh,
Speaker 3: is it doctor Sky also from Arizona. Are you in
Speaker 3: Arizona tonight.
Speaker 1: Sir Ah sure en, Good morning, Walter. Good to be
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 3: It's nice, but I mean, your voice is just it
Speaker 3: ruins my my mystique, Like I think I have a
Speaker 3: good radio voice, and then you come on the air
Speaker 3: and all.
Speaker 1: Islat No, I'm here in Arizona and actually struggling through
Speaker 1: one of the most ridiculous days. But we expect that
Speaker 1: in Arizona one hundred and seventeen degrees. If you believe
Speaker 1: that the moomenter.
Speaker 3: That's impossible. How it is? How does that feel?
Speaker 5: Terrible?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean I set the air conditioner. I think we
Speaker 1: had an air conditioning conversation before, so I've lowered it.
Speaker 1: Actually I had it at eighty, but after listening to you,
Speaker 1: I put it at seventy eight. And my electric bill
Speaker 1: is going up exponentially.
Speaker 3: So there you go, right, And the beauty of that
Speaker 3: is that every year you and I by energy efficient
Speaker 3: appliances progressively energy efficient appliances, and you go, well, I
Speaker 3: got another energy efficient appliance, and therefore my bill should
Speaker 3: go down. And it never goes down no matter how
Speaker 3: many energy efficient appliances we buy, the bill always goes up.
Speaker 3: Makes no sense. It's one of the mysteries, Doctor Samsai.
Speaker 3: It's a great mystery. Well listen, doctor Sky, there's a
Speaker 3: great story that's fascinating, and I'd like you to share
Speaker 3: it with us because it's a doctor Sky's story, and
Speaker 3: share your theories.
Speaker 1: Well, Walter, this week will be another good week for
Speaker 1: people who love space, And even if you don't, it's
Speaker 1: good to pay attention because Wednesday, something unusual is going
Speaker 1: to happen. It's been done before, but it's never received
Speaker 1: the media attention. And what is that They will be
Speaker 1: actually intentionally slamming into the moon an upper stage of
Speaker 1: a SpaceX booster from a mission Walter that happened back
Speaker 1: in January the fifteenth of twenty twenty five. The booster
Speaker 1: was actually trying to get two space probes, two privatized
Speaker 1: space probes to the surface of the Moon, one Japanese
Speaker 1: and one American, but unfortunate apparently. I don't know the
Speaker 1: facts on this, but I believe this is what I've
Speaker 1: been reading. That booster never got its way out of
Speaker 1: the way, so it's got into this weird orbit around
Speaker 1: the Moon. So what's going to happen Wednesday? And the
Speaker 1: calculations tell us that the impact will take place of
Speaker 1: this large booster, But we have to put it in
Speaker 1: the mind like a theater in the mind concept. Forty
Speaker 1: five feet long, twelve feet wide. We don't know if
Speaker 1: it has any external internal propellants still in it, God
Speaker 1: help us, but it will be slammed into the Moon,
Speaker 1: traveling it over five thousand miles an hour. Whoa with
Speaker 1: a kinetic effect. If you look at kinetics, you know
Speaker 1: the energy that can be imparted or exported out three
Speaker 1: tons of TNT that's their estimate. So why are they
Speaker 1: doing this? I mean, it's not just for fun. We
Speaker 1: don't want to intentionally litter the Moon. But that's a
Speaker 1: whole nother story. It's actually to test what happens when
Speaker 1: we create craters, because in the future, at least that's
Speaker 1: what I hope, when we do habitate the Moon, we're
Speaker 1: going to have to understand what impactors do and what
Speaker 1: kind of damage they do on the surface of the Moon. Now,
Speaker 1: from the observation side, I've been viewing the Moon like
Speaker 1: probably many people, with decent to very high powered telescopes.
Speaker 1: So the point is some media hype, and I want
Speaker 1: to correct this if we can, on this show, your show,
Speaker 1: I think so much in so many in the media
Speaker 1: are talking about this as if it might be a
Speaker 1: visible event for people. I wish it were, but I
Speaker 1: can't rule it out. So you would need a fairly
Speaker 1: large telescope. So here's the dynamics of what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: The curring estimates say that on Wednesday morning, two thirty
Speaker 1: five a m. Eastern daylight time, and this window can
Speaker 1: change by minutes who knows West coast of course, eleven
Speaker 1: thirty five p m Pacific daylight time. Now I'll be
Speaker 1: out there with the telescope the day before just to
Speaker 1: set it up. But the best views would happen for
Speaker 1: the eastern to midwestern parts of the nation here, or
Speaker 1: obviously anywhere where it's dark, what you could see theoretically,
Speaker 1: and this has happened before. I've watched a few of
Speaker 1: these events, never to see the impact, but we looked
Speaker 1: at exactly the location. Back in two thousand and nine,
Speaker 1: NASA had a mission called l Cross to the Moon.
Speaker 1: It was a large booster from a Centaur rocket, and Walter,
Speaker 1: what they were doing is slamming it into the south
Speaker 1: pole area of the Moon. And this actually this experiment,
Speaker 1: when they slammed it in, we actually detected water vapor.
Speaker 1: So that's why if people wondering why are we headed
Speaker 1: to the south pole of the moon, the possibility now
Speaker 1: is a fact that there is water vapor in the
Speaker 1: form of ice there, but this one which will be
Speaker 1: visible on the very bright side the left edge of
Speaker 1: the moon. It may be impossible to see the flash,
Speaker 1: but who knows. But what could happen, Walter, is that
Speaker 1: debrief from that impact could actually send the plume of
Speaker 1: material against the edge of the Moon, where people who
Speaker 1: have a large telescope, not binoculars, may get to see
Speaker 1: something unprecedented. I've never seen that. I don't think anybody has.
Speaker 1: So it's pretty exciting.
Speaker 3: What does it mean to us if the Moon has
Speaker 3: water vapor? What does that mean?
Speaker 1: Well, Walter in the symbolest term. This is really strange.
Speaker 1: People always ask me, They say, what temperature is the
Speaker 1: lowest in the Solar System? And going back to school,
Speaker 1: everybody would think, well, the outer planets, now, Pluto's a dwarf. Well,
Speaker 1: let's take Neptune. Temperatures out there can be three hundred
Speaker 1: degrees below zero fahrenheit. How they know that, They take
Speaker 1: these things called spectroscopes, space probes have visited it and
Speaker 1: you know, put their so called thermometer out to measure
Speaker 1: the temperature. But we find out, Walter, at the south
Speaker 1: post of the Moon, this is almost incredible. It's probably
Speaker 1: the coldest place in the Solar system. Temperatures allegedly recorded
Speaker 1: at over four hundred degrees below zero fahrenheit. So why
Speaker 1: is it important. It's important because in the future when
Speaker 1: we do habitate that area, there's that possibility since water
Speaker 1: is so scarce, you know, not only here in the
Speaker 1: United States now the big water crisis, but we need
Speaker 1: that and that can help us to generate, you know,
Speaker 1: future production of water. If we would scrape the ice,
Speaker 1: let's say, and it's a possible location for as we
Speaker 1: talk about now, for habitation, so it's got a positivity
Speaker 1: to it. But this one is just to detect what
Speaker 1: the impact results are, in other words, what happens when
Speaker 1: you slam something into the moon like that. So it's
Speaker 1: exciting and I'll be out there with the telescription.
Speaker 3: And so are the other people. And it could be
Speaker 3: that the moon is hollow. Is that also something we're
Speaker 3: studying here?
Speaker 1: Yes, and this is interesting, But let me define what
Speaker 1: they call hollow. When the Apollo astronauts orbit, the lonely
Speaker 1: astronaut like Michael Collins and Apollo eleven, God bless him,
Speaker 1: I couldn't do that. Now, imagine that every fifty or
Speaker 1: some minutes, you're in darkness and nobody you can hear
Speaker 1: or see. He detected something as he's going around the
Speaker 1: Moon where there was like if you locked on autopilot
Speaker 1: and you said, keep me sixty miles above the moon.
Speaker 1: He noticed that there was this porpoising or wobble. So
Speaker 1: what is that? In simple terms, it's something in the
Speaker 1: lunar surface they call mascon. So there may be areas
Speaker 1: of the moon that are hollowed out, but not to
Speaker 1: the point where it's like you could fly through it.
Speaker 1: Or you know, there's movies out there. I think Moon
Speaker 1: figured the name of the Hollywood movie Moonshot or something
Speaker 1: where they say the moon is hollow and civilizations live there.
Speaker 1: So they've been there trying to detect what happens when
Speaker 1: you ring the moon, because Apollo eleven sent ussm experiment
Speaker 1: there and when things do happen, like we slammed other
Speaker 1: rocket bodies into the moon, so the moon does ring,
Speaker 1: it's kind of weird. So we really don't know Walter,
Speaker 1: the true dynamics of what the internals of the moon are.
Speaker 1: But it's fascinating, don't you think it's really?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And there's something you said with certainty that I
Speaker 3: have to ask you about too, which is, okay, when
Speaker 3: we inhabit the moon, Yes, what are the triggers to
Speaker 3: decide whether or not we actually need to go through
Speaker 3: all that trouble?
Speaker 1: Well, the truth is we have to get the right
Speaker 1: spacecraft to do it properly, because look at the tiny
Speaker 1: spidery lander that we had in the Apollo program, a
Speaker 1: great feed of technological genius. But now if we replicated
Speaker 1: that we're only going to be able to be, you know,
Speaker 1: bring a small number of people to the Moon. So
Speaker 1: the promise of the future is with SpaceX they're building
Speaker 1: a moon lander based on the starship design, and also
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos is designing. And when we have an Artemis
Speaker 1: three mission, we don't know when it's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Somebody says in the year twenty twenty seven will be
Speaker 1: not to go to the Moon. The original Artemis three
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the moon landing, but now we
Speaker 1: want to test the lunar lander. So the simplest way
Speaker 1: I can say it is that once we develop that,
Speaker 1: we can go to places like the south pole of
Speaker 1: the Moon. They call it the Aitken Basin, and this
Speaker 1: is one of the largest impact areas on the Moon.
Speaker 1: The old Cross mission identified that we have water vapor
Speaker 1: down there. So what's going to be the limitation. It's
Speaker 1: building the right spacecraft to do it, and then you
Speaker 1: have to do the whole design and this is going
Speaker 1: to take a while. So I don't think, folks, it's
Speaker 1: going to happen overnight and naturally not. So habitation modules
Speaker 1: would then need to be built. Apparently they're going to
Speaker 1: look to put a small nuclear reactor on the moon too.
Speaker 1: So it all sounds sci fi, but were on airplanes
Speaker 1: kind of science fiction back in the turn of the
Speaker 1: early nineteen hundreds, right, amazing, It.
Speaker 3: Is amazing, and it seems like a great dare. I
Speaker 3: dare you to inhabit the Moon? And this is not
Speaker 3: for you to answer, but I'm like, okay, so what's
Speaker 3: the benefit of us going through all that trouble? What's
Speaker 3: the end benefit of us inhabiting the Moon? I can't
Speaker 3: really imagine it other than og it's a really cool thing,
Speaker 3: can you.
Speaker 1: Well, if you want an answer, this is something interesting.
Speaker 1: There's a isotope of helium. And I met him, maybe
Speaker 1: you did, a lot of people know that there's only
Speaker 1: a few of the Apollo astronauts left, but Harrison Schmidt
Speaker 1: the only geologist to go to the Moon. He of
Speaker 1: course became a US Senator in New Mexico. Many may know,
Speaker 1: but one of the things Walter that they actually found
Speaker 1: or in his works, he talked about something called the
Speaker 1: isotope of helium three. What's that when you scoop up
Speaker 1: the lunar soil, there's this ingredient that you could use
Speaker 1: to help generate energy in the show. There you go,
Speaker 1: So there could be energy increments here. But this is
Speaker 1: way in the future. I mean, this is not something
Speaker 1: that's going to happen in my lifetime. Probably I would
Speaker 1: hope it happens quicker, but everybody has to make up
Speaker 1: their mind as to whether they think these things are worthwhile.
Speaker 1: But from my limited perspective, hey, I think it's a
Speaker 1: great thing to talk about.
Speaker 3: I have a television viewing tip if you haven't seen
Speaker 3: it already. I'm not a binge watcher of television shows.
Speaker 3: I view people who binge watch the series as weak.
Speaker 3: I'll watch an episode and then I'll watch the next
Speaker 3: episode a couple days later. But on Friday I saw
Speaker 3: it started to watch a series that I figured i'd
Speaker 3: watch one or two episodes and get back to it. No, no,
Speaker 3: I couldn't stop. And it's called Star City Wow. And
Speaker 3: it's about the Russian Cape Canaveral. And it's an alternative
Speaker 3: history in that they beat us to the moon, But
Speaker 3: that isn't the story. The story is what happened after
Speaker 3: they beat us to the moon, what happened in Russia.
Speaker 3: In Russia, in Star City, the people who live there,
Speaker 3: the scientists, the engineers, how they lived and how they
Speaker 3: interacted with each other, and how they viewed the United States.
Speaker 3: Absolutely fascinating but so well done. And I watched all
Speaker 3: eight episodes at once, and it doesn't have well there's
Speaker 3: no star and it doesn't have any actor I'd ever
Speaker 3: seen before. That's sure how strong the story is.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to check it out. Walter. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen it, but your recommendation goes right to the top.
Speaker 1: But just a little bit of information about the real
Speaker 1: Star City. I don't know if Hollywood, I haven't seen
Speaker 1: it yet. But they never launched rockets from Star City.
Speaker 1: It was a training location for the cosmonauts, but they
Speaker 1: actually launch all their rockets from a place called Baikenor,
Speaker 1: which is this bizarre space location. Who I say bizarre
Speaker 1: because it's so far out in the you know, planes
Speaker 1: in the maces of Kazakhstan. This is where they've done this.
Speaker 1: And of course Star City was dedicated to Yordiga Garin,
Speaker 1: who launched into space and sadly died. It's amazing that
Speaker 1: story could fill hours. You know, here's the first cosmonaut,
Speaker 1: first person to do the orbitation of the Earth, but
Speaker 1: what happens to him years later? He flies one of
Speaker 1: these Meg fifteen fighter jets out of one of the
Speaker 1: airports around Moscow and something happens where he crashes and dies.
Speaker 1: There's a long story behind. But I want to watch
Speaker 1: dar City because I love the stories like this. I
Speaker 1: think that's fascinating to take a look at it.
Speaker 3: So it was fun. Yeah, in Star City they refer
Speaker 3: to him, and every time they refer to his demise,
Speaker 3: they get vague, so so many many vague. All right,
Speaker 3: you're a good friend, doctor Scott. Tell everybody what time
Speaker 3: you're on the radio.
Speaker 1: We have our program, thank goodness, and we appreciate the
Speaker 1: entire red Apple Lodium network. Here we're looking Friday nights
Speaker 1: midnight to two am Eastern Day Lifetime and Saturdays, different guests,
Speaker 1: different topics on Saturday midnight to two am Sunday, and
Speaker 1: the subject matter. In case people haven't tuned in, we
Speaker 1: encourage them to. All the shows here on this great
Speaker 1: station is basically about astronomy, space, aviation, weather, celebrities. And
Speaker 1: also since I served in the military and did something
Speaker 1: in the Lee world, law enforcement world, we talk about
Speaker 1: stories of American exceptionalism. To keep the whole concept of truth,
Speaker 1: justice in the American way, a combination of topics with
Speaker 1: great game. And it's always a privilege and honor to
Speaker 1: be here with you and all the great shows and
Speaker 1: all the great hosts that are here on the.
Speaker 3: Station, live radio the way it's supposed to be. Thank you,
Speaker 3: doctor Scott. Thank you for being on the other side.
Speaker 3: My pleasure, real pleasure. Thank you, sir. All right, let's
Speaker 3: you and I talk eight hundred eight four eight nine
Speaker 3: two to two. Eight hundred eight four eight nine two
Speaker 3: two two. The exciting time that this is is that
Speaker 3: you and I just finished two days of hell. We
Speaker 3: had to deal with family relationships, all the things that
Speaker 3: we're not trained for, and now we get to go
Speaker 3: to work. Because the dirty secret is that we'd mostly
Speaker 3: rather go to work where things are vaguely organized, we
Speaker 3: know what to do. There's a cause and effect between
Speaker 3: our behavior and outcomes, whereas when you and I have
Speaker 3: to deal with children, teenagers, in laws, that's a whole
Speaker 3: different set of hers. And I had a I had
Speaker 3: a really tough weekend, and the reason it was tough
Speaker 3: wasn't because I had to deal with my daughters or
Speaker 3: my wife. Because I didn't. They weren't here. They were like,
Speaker 3: they weren't here. I'm gonna I got to look up
Speaker 3: something now that I shouldn't have to look up. Hold
Speaker 3: on a second, hold on, hold on, I got to
Speaker 3: look up something for my friends. Let's see. Uh, there's
Speaker 3: a clip there William called women Trying, And when I
Speaker 3: point to you, I'd like you to play that. It's
Speaker 3: called women trying, and it's there's the greatest mystery for
Speaker 3: any any married couple. The greatest mystery for any married
Speaker 3: couple is, at some point it starts to be a
Speaker 3: lot of work to communicate with each other. And that's
Speaker 3: it should be easier rather than harder, but it tends
Speaker 3: to be harder.
Speaker 11: If you don't I need a man so bad, then
Speaker 11: why are you so try and so hard all the
Speaker 11: time to get their attention. If you don't need a
Speaker 11: man so bad, why are you trying so hard to
Speaker 11: get them to pay for this and pay for that,
Speaker 11: and do this and do that.
Speaker 5: Because you do.
Speaker 11: Need a man, why don't you just admitted and not
Speaker 11: only do you need one, but you want one?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 3: You want one?
Speaker 1: Just admit it.
Speaker 3: That's the challenge, It's it's the admission part. Admission is
Speaker 3: the first step. Admitting it is the first step to
Speaker 3: solving the problem. But the way most men and women
Speaker 3: communicate is much trickier than that. And I saw it
Speaker 3: with my parents, I see it with my children. I
Speaker 3: see it with my kids dating, and I see it myself.
Speaker 3: It's like I see things ABC and D, let's do this.
Speaker 3: The result will be this and then we'll be happy.
Speaker 3: But with my wife it doesn't work that way. First,
Speaker 3: it has to start with me saying that I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but whatever it is,
Speaker 3: I have to start basically with me saying I'm sorry. Now.
Speaker 3: I've never asked anybody in my life to say that
Speaker 3: they're sorry. I've never said to somebody, you know, I
Speaker 3: really wish you'd apologize for that. It wouldn't occur to
Speaker 3: me to do that. It just wouldn't because it's like,
Speaker 3: nothing is that big a deal to me. So first
Speaker 3: I have to start with I'm sorry. Now. What I
Speaker 3: had to apologize for this weekend was particularly bizarre. Since
Speaker 3: we're not together. I'm staying in my sister in law's
Speaker 3: home and without notice. Get this, I'm staying there for
Speaker 3: the weekend. I'm alone. I've done this before. I know
Speaker 3: how to stay in somebody's apartment alone and see if
Speaker 3: this has happened to you. And then I get notification
Speaker 3: that some distant relative who I don't know and their
Speaker 3: kid is also going to be staying there. Oh oh,
Speaker 3: And I wasn't given an update on this. I wasn't
Speaker 3: giving any information on this, but I said, well, when
Speaker 3: are they going to get here? And I was told
Speaker 3: last night? All right, they were going to get there
Speaker 3: last night. Great. What did I do? Like any man?
Speaker 3: I locked myself in a bedroom and I hoped I
Speaker 3: wouldn't have to see them. When are they leaving? Exactly? Well,
Speaker 3: I think on Tuesday, all right? And I made that
Speaker 3: work in my head. I thought I'd be alone because
Speaker 3: I need to be alone. I don't know about you,
Speaker 3: but I do. And then these people who I vaguely knew,
Speaker 3: who I met once twenty five years ago. That's it,
Speaker 3: I met once twenty five years ago. They were going
Speaker 3: to be arriving, and they were going to arrive last night. Okay,
Speaker 3: all is well. What happened next was remarkable and I'll
Speaker 3: share that coming up in just seconds. This is the
Speaker 3: other side of Midnight on the Red Apple Audio Networks.
Speaker 2: This is the other side of Midnight Weekend with Walter Sterling.
Speaker 2: This is the other side of Midnight Weekend Review with
Speaker 2: Walter Sterling.
Speaker 3: It's the other side of Midnight Confessions of a Retired
Speaker 3: NYPD Detective.
Speaker 8: Sorry, Big Ferrari, on the other side of Midnight, on
Speaker 8: the other side of Midnight.
Speaker 9: Hey Walter. On tonight's episode of Confessions of a Retired Detective.
Speaker 9: I'd like to talk a little bit about the New
Speaker 9: York City Police Department's transit Police. So when I got
Speaker 9: hired in nineteen eighty seven, the NYPD was broken up
Speaker 9: into three police departments. You had the city cops, the
Speaker 9: transit cops, and the housing cops, and they all kind
Speaker 9: of did the same thing, but they fell out of
Speaker 9: the same umbrella. The only difference was on details and demonstrations.
Speaker 9: It was all on the NYPD. Transit and Housing didn't
Speaker 9: get involved in it, and they had their own chiefs
Speaker 9: and inspectors that didn't answer to anyone. Then they all merged.
Speaker 9: But the funny thing is, when I got hired, I
Speaker 9: didn't think transit police was a bad job, and I said,
Speaker 9: you know, I really wanted to be NYPD. I didn't
Speaker 9: want to go to housing. And I remember the day,
Speaker 9: a few days before I got sworn in, we were
Speaker 9: supposed to go downtown and there was a list, and
Speaker 9: you looked on your list and you saw.
Speaker 3: Where you're going to go.
Speaker 9: And I was kind of relieved when I went to
Speaker 9: the NYPD. But I was always fascinated with the transit system,
Speaker 9: and sometimes there'd be jobs down there and transit cops
Speaker 9: weren't available. Was sometimes you were unlucky enough to chase
Speaker 9: somebody into a subway tunnel, and I remember the first
Speaker 9: time that happened. I remember chasing the guy would reckless
Speaker 9: abandon I'm about thirty feet into this tunnel, and I go,
Speaker 9: what the hell am I doing. It's one thing to
Speaker 9: chase somebody on the street or through buildings or through
Speaker 9: a vacant lot. It's another thing into a subway tunnel
Speaker 9: because a lot of times these guys know the lay
Speaker 9: of the land, don't and you don't know what the pitfalls.
Speaker 9: And what I quickly realized is there's a ton of
Speaker 9: garbage down there. There's rats the size of Doxin's. And
Speaker 9: I says, oh no, no, no, no, no, let me
Speaker 9: put this sover, we'll seal the tunnel off on the
Speaker 9: other side, and then eventually we got the guy. After
Speaker 9: nine to eleven there was a shift where they wanted
Speaker 9: NYPD guys to be trained to be in those tunnels.
Speaker 9: So I took a day long course up in the
Speaker 9: Bronx I think it was a transit District twelve, and
Speaker 9: they sent NYPD detectives and they basically gave us a
Speaker 9: crash course on what it was like down there, followed
Speaker 9: by a tour of the tunnel. And what I quickly
Speaker 9: realized is once you're down there, I forget the distance.
Speaker 9: But it's almost like every fifty or one hundred feet
Speaker 9: there's these little cutouts into the concrete. So when the
Speaker 9: event of trains come and you can get in there,
Speaker 9: it's like a little on coove and you can get
Speaker 9: your back up against the wall and the train won't
Speaker 9: hit you. Also, down in the subway system, every so
Speaker 9: many feet there's a blue light, or in darry this
Speaker 9: should be a blue light unless the bulb burns out
Speaker 9: of the homeless people steal it. Next to that blue
Speaker 9: light is a switch and you're able to turn off
Speaker 9: power to the train, but it's only for about five
Speaker 9: or ten minutes, and unless you call dispatch and tell them, hey,
Speaker 9: I'm down here, the power will come right back on.
Speaker 9: So guys have gotten themselves into trouble where they turn
Speaker 9: the power off to the train and they didn't realize
Speaker 9: to turn it back on, and that's where bad things
Speaker 9: can happen. For more behind the scenes NYPD stories, be
Speaker 9: sure to check out my new book NYPD Behind the
Speaker 9: Blue Wall of Silence, available on Amazon. I'm retired detective
Speaker 9: turned off the Vic Ferrari with Walter Sterling on the
Speaker 9: Other Side of Midnight.
Speaker 3: He's going to have to come on and tell us
Speaker 3: more about that. That was an amazing story. How they
Speaker 3: train these guys to be in the subway tunnels. They
Speaker 3: think they're going to be solving robberies in the Bronx
Speaker 3: and now they're stuck in subway tunnels and they better
Speaker 3: turn the power back off fast enough. Who WHOA. I
Speaker 3: don't always get to listen or look at what he's
Speaker 3: going to talk about ahead of time, and usually I'm
Speaker 3: as amazed as you are. Vic Ferrari, retired New York
Speaker 3: City Police detective. Oh my gosh, wow, wow, The Other
Speaker 3: side of Midnight that's pretty cool, mister Ferrari. Vic Ferrari,
Speaker 3: buy that book. For gosh sakes, by that book. I've
Speaker 3: never said that before, have I No, I'm telling you now,
Speaker 3: by the book. So the situation with my wife went
Speaker 3: like this. Everything was fine. I was spending the weekend
Speaker 3: at my sister in law's apartment, one of her many
Speaker 3: of her estate, and I was staying there for a
Speaker 3: couple days alone. All right. Then last night I get
Speaker 3: this notification when I'm away or they want me to
Speaker 3: do something. I don't get a phone call, I don't
Speaker 3: get a text. I get a notification, much as you
Speaker 3: would at work or if there was a police emergency.
Speaker 3: And it says Susan's going to come there with her
Speaker 3: daughter tonight. I'm like, okay, and that's all I knew.
Speaker 3: I said, when is she leaving? They said Tuesday. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's fine, and I changed my brain so I understood
Speaker 3: I'd be in an apartment with these two other people
Speaker 3: I had met twenty five years ago. Well, I go
Speaker 3: to sleep, I wake up today. Everything's fine. Then around
Speaker 3: four o'clock I get this text and the text says,
Speaker 3: now they're going to be staying in the room you're
Speaker 3: in because there are two beds, and I want you
Speaker 3: to make your bed. I said, WHOA. You had already
Speaker 3: told me I could stay in this room. And I said,
Speaker 3: when did they arrive? Oh, they haven't arrived yet. They're
Speaker 3: going to arrive today. You told me they were going
Speaker 3: to arrive yesterday. Right then it starts to get slippery.
Speaker 3: Right then, I get slippery. I'm supposed to make my bed,
Speaker 3: I'm supposed to change rooms, and I'm all settled. I
Speaker 3: have my things on the dresser, I have my clothes out,
Speaker 3: I have my prescriptions all set up right. You know
Speaker 3: the situation when you check into a hotel. Will Now
Speaker 3: I'm all checked into the hotel and I'm told I'm
Speaker 3: going to have to move to a different room. And
Speaker 3: it was already promised. I said, no, you promised me
Speaker 3: I could stay in this room. You, in fact said
Speaker 3: first Divs. Whoever gets into the room first, it's first Divs.
Speaker 2: Like what?
