WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty The Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.240 on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:10.080 The Park Fire, the one burning up in northern California, 5 00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.560 is now over four hundred thousand acres four oh one 6 00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:17.800 seven forty in terms of acreage. Cooler weather over the 7 00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.559 weekend did give them the ability. They've contained about thirty 8 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.359 four percent of it, they said, which is great news 9 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.000 because again it's going to start warming up. 10 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.239 Mixtape Monday comes your way. In the twelve o'clock hour, 11 00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:33.759 Aerosmith officially done touring. Band made the announcement, saying it 12 00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.759 was a difficult decision, but it became clear that Stephen 13 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:40.759 Tyler's voice is too damaged to perform live. Last year, 14 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.799 it was reported that Tyler mangled his vocal chords while 15 00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.439 on the group's peace Out Farewell tour. Now, Aerosmith says 16 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.000 despite having some of the best doctors around him, his 17 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:52.880 voice will never sound the same. They so they're grateful 18 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.600 beyond words for everyone's support and thanked fans for making 19 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.960 their dreams come true. I saw Stephen Tyler in a 20 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.359 flight one time. It looked like an older lady is 21 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.439 that long hair and very thin frame. 22 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.000 He has looked like that for a while. 23 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.680 Yeah, I'm surprised his voice lasted as long as it did, 24 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:09.519 the way he sang. 25 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.040 Well, him and Axel Rose. I mean, he had this 26 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:18.120 very same overpowering voice that you can't do that for 27 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.200 Axel Rose lost it years ago. 28 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:20.840 Yeah. 29 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.239 True, I wanted to throw this in there because we 30 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.200 were talking off the air about the Olympics and getting 31 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.840 back in the game. Rub some dirt on it, Teddy 32 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:34.920 Roosevelt's speech from the Sarbone in Paris? 33 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.959 Is this what I was referring to April of nineteen ten. 34 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.040 The man in the arena, Yes, the man in the arena. 35 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.040 It is not the critic who counts, not the man 36 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.280 who points out how the strong man stumbles or where 37 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.680 the doer of deeds could have done them better. The 38 00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:54.920 credit belongs to the man who was actually in the arena, 39 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.959 whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, 40 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:04.040 whose strive valiantly, who airs, who comes short again and 41 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.959 again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming, 42 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.599 but who does actually strive to do the deeds, who 43 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:15.719 knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in 44 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.599 a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the 45 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.960 end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, 46 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:26.520 if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so 47 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.919 that his place shall never be with those cold and 48 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.439 timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. 49 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.919 Yeah, that's for Bob on his couch in Des Moines, 50 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.280 who's throwing stuff at the television saying why don't you 51 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.280 make that tackle. I've often thought about getting this tattooed 52 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.319 on me, but I lack the surface area. 53 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:45.960 That's a lot of words. 54 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.080 I've seen, like every good lineman, I've seen this tattooed before, 55 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.319 and I also want that as a constant reminder of 56 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.039 how to just kick ass in your life. And I 57 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.840 just don't know how I could fit it on my body. Well, 58 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.719 you'd have to eat maybe a little bit on each arm. 59 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:03.719 You could do it on your. 60 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:05.800 Back, but I mean then you'd never see it, And 61 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.639 that point is to inspire you. 62 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.280 Yes, maybe I get a plaque at home and put 63 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.520 it up instead of tattooing it on my body. 64 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:18.080 Much better idea, much better idea. A. 65 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.400 That my husband is in small town off Hey, Gary 66 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:26.960 and Channon, Happy Monday. This is Renee. Renee and I 67 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.199 have no specific reason to call except to say that 68 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.759 my husband is in small town, Minnesota listening to you 69 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:37.479 guys on iHeartRadio, and I was just kind of hoping 70 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.000 you'd play this and give a shout out to him. 71 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.080 Hi, Bob or Renee. 72 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:43.639 You could just call your husband. 73 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:44.400 Yeah, there's that. 74 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.080 You don't need us as a conduit, Renee. 75 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.759 Maybe there's something going on. Maybe she's trying to. 76 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.680 I'm happy to help a love connection flourish. 77 00:03:54.759 --> 00:04:00.759 There is some movement in the murder of former General 78 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:07.280 Hospital actor actor Johnny Whackter. Okay LAPD has released surveillance 79 00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.840 photos of the suspects. They say now they believe killed 80 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:12.840 Johnny Wacter back in May. 81 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:14.919 He shot and killed the end of May. 82 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.720 Police said he and a coworker interrupted thieves trying to 83 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:22.000 steal his catalytic converter. Medical examiner concluded, of course, it 84 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:26.360 was homicide, gunshot wound to the chest. A coworker was 85 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.879 with him at the time said that she held him 86 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.759 in his final moments. He was killed senselessly. She wrote. 87 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.560 Now at this point they said that the guy has 88 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.600 like a tattoo on his over one of his eyes, 89 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.319 and you know, some pretty distinguishing marks. So it's not 90 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.720 it is likely that they'll eventually get him. Someone knows something, Yeah, 91 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.000 someone knows something, because they also said that they have 92 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.480 the vehicle that they believed to have stolen, vehicle that 93 00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.360 they believed that he escaped or they escaped in Angels 94 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.519 beat the METSI yesterday three to two, and the Dodgers 95 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.480 beat Thea's three to two as well. So the Dodgers 96 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.959 back in LA to take on the Phillies first place. 97 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.160 Phillies first place, Dodgers first pitch is going to be 98 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.120 at seven to ten. You can listen to every play 99 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.879 of every Dodger's game on AM five seventy LA Sports 100 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.079 Live from the Galvin Motors Broadcast booth, stream all the 101 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.120 games NHD. On that iHeartRadio app used the keyword AM 102 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.519 five seventy LA Sports. 103 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:24.800 I feel like every morning I listen to the news 104 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.839 and I listened to Amy King talk about how homes 105 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:33.160 are continually being broken into in La. It's like every morning, Uh, 106 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.560 a couple homes and silver leg busted into. Oh, a 107 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.240 couple homes and Pacific ballisades busted into this. Is this 108 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:40.879 just our way of life that we're putting up with 109 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.399 in Los Angeles that it's a crapshoot at this point? 110 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.800 Well, I think there's an assumption that there's going to 111 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.120 be burglary in place like La There's gonna be burglaries 112 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.040 every single day, but it's going to be in those 113 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:56.319 homes where you don't expect to see security systems all. 114 00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.199 They've become more and more popular because you know, the 115 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:03.639 number of or the cost of things like video doorbells 116 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.160 and stuff is much lower than it would have been 117 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:10.279 ten years ago. But the assumption is that it's still 118 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:11.360 going to be in a neighbor it's gonna be in 119 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.439 the valley somewhere. It's gonna be somewhere in the west 120 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:15.639 end of the valley maybe. 121 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.079 But when there's no ramifications, no repercussions for your actions, 122 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.959 it is going to be a problem that proliferates. And 123 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.680 that's what we're seeing. People know that nothing is going 124 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.120 to happen to them. They're gonna get a slap on 125 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.639 the wrist. So why not roll the dice in a 126 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.959 better neighborhood? Why mess around with Rosita when I can 127 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:35.319 go into the Hollywood Hills. 128 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:36.639 Well, and if people are. 129 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.360 That's the word, people are confident that there is no 130 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.839 physical repercussion, not just legal right, but trail. You're going 131 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.759 to be in la where not as many people are 132 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.639 going to have protection in the form of a weapon 133 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.399 and asteria capable of handling. In the event that something 134 00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.600 like that goes on, you're going to run rough shot 135 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:01.399 over everybody. 136 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.480 Well, that's what they did at the home of Tom 137 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:08.000 Hanks and Rita Wilson, the guest home of theirs. Law 138 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.079 enforcement says the burglars made their way into the estate 139 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.279 by smashing through glass. And to make matters worse, it 140 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.279 took place in broad daylight. Because of everything that we 141 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:18.800 just said. 142 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.639 Yeah, the security alarm was triggered, but that did not 143 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.800 stop them from going in. Now, I don't know if 144 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.319 this is an audible alarm that goes off and you 145 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.839 can hear the sirens or the tones or the bells 146 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:31.319 or whatever. 147 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:33.240 Well, if they're going to break the law to break 148 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:34.959 glass to get into your home, they're not going to 149 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.240 stop for the alarm. It's not like me at a 150 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.639 defib machine box where I'm going to actually be a 151 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.120 law abiding citizen and once I hear that alarm go off, 152 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:44.519 I will shut the door and move away. 153 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:45.759 I want to point this out. 154 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.439 This British tabloid that does this story said that's noah, 155 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.639 rest have been made. This is the fourth celebrity to 156 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:56.279 be hit in the last month, including Sarah Hyland.

Goldie Hawn has been hit as well. 165 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.800 Is this a ring that targets celebrities?

Well where did they 168 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.919 get Here's the thing is, where do they get the information? 169 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:38.759 It's not that. 170 00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.399 Difficult the Hollywood stars tours. 171 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.200 No, not that part of information. 172 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:45.919 I mean the information that the Tom Ranks and Riata 173 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.159 Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are not at home.

If you're listening and you're thinking 193 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:51.200 about targeting celebrities, Richard Dreyfuss, you know, maybe a better target. 194 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:55.960 Oh now that's not nice, that's not nice. Nope, you forget. 195 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:56.960 You have a short memory. 196 00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:58.240 What he did to us. 197 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.679 I am willing to forgive, considering that was seven and 198 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.279 a half years as well, I don't forget. 199 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.480 I get a picture of Richard Dreyfus tattooed. 200 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.720 On you some right next to the man in the 201 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.559 arena right that good speech. 202 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.960 Helloha for MAUI. We are on our way to go 203 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:23.840 on a stargling excursion to Malakini and we were listening 204 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.759 to Shannon Rey the Teddy Roosevelt quote, and my husband 205 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:31.440 was wondering why there is no recording of it, or 206 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.559 if you guys could find one. So that's our conversation 207 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.200 at seven fifteen in the morning. 208 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.600 In love you guys. 209 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:44.039 There was technology to record, but there's only a handful 210 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.320 of recordings of any Teddy Roosevelt speeches, and they're really 211 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:51.559 awful quality. I mean one hundred plus years later, so 212 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.360 I mean the Library of Congress has the sum of them, 213 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.399 but they're on those old wax drums. 214 00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:59.080 To be fair, I think that your rendition of it 215 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.960 today is just about as accurate of a rendition that 216 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.000 we will ever have. I think you said it with 217 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:09.360 great intonation. The pauses were in the correct places, the 218 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:10.320 feeling was there. 219 00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:16.039 I would have paid big money to have Robin Williams 220 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.240 do that speech, because he played Teddy Roosevelt in those 221 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:20.519 Night at the Museum movies. 222 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:23.200 Ah, yeah, I wouldn't because I don't know. 223 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:27.559 I don't think about cocaine a lot when I think 224 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:29.879 about Teddy Roosevelt, and I think about it a lot 225 00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.039 when I think about Robin Williams. 226 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:34.879 I don't think about cocaine a lot. 227 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.720 Just those two are just so it's a weird juxtaposition. 228 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.159 We'll get into the bear story. We're going to do 229 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:45.279 that after right the next segment. Yes, okay, the RFKJ. 230 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:47.519 I wanted to get right to the bear story right 231 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.840 now because I'm getting just excited about it. But I 232 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.320 will show restraint and I will talk about baby ducks. 233 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.679 Okay, Well, we actually did this story. A couple of 234 00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:58.120 weeks ago. 235 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:03.039 We heard this story of an order of balute that 236 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:06.600 had come into a warehouse in Orange County. Balute is 237 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:14.759 fertilized but unhatched duck eggs that just before they hatch 238 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:16.039 are then. 239 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.159 Are they pickled and then eaten? 240 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.440 Well either way. 241 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:27.799 The problem was hundreds of them started hatching, and the 242 00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.320 distributors like, oh crap, what the hell am I going 243 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.080 to do with hundreds of baby ducks? They were meant 244 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:36.200 to be eaten before they were born, and now they're 245 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.279 out of their shells and they're ducking around. 246 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:39.679 So she gets on the horn. 247 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.200 She's asking people like where do I put the baby ducks? 248 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:47.360 And she hears about the duck Pond. The Duck Pond 249 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:51.120 is a waterfowl sanctuary for domesticated birds. It's run by 250 00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:55.200 Howard Berkowitz, and he says, this is the largest rescue 251 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.879 we've been involved with. He was the one who went 252 00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:01.600 in and picked up that baby waterfowl fowl. What a hero. 253 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.080 He was appalled at their condition. They were starving, they 254 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.879 were dehydrated. It was hot here in southern California. Some 255 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:11.720 of them had been alive for one, two, three days 256 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.799 and they had no food, no water. So out of 257 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.720 the three hundred and fifty ducklings he retrieved, only one 258 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:20.559 hundred and forty were successfully nursed back to health. 259 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.799 That's a that's still a lot of ducks, a ton 260 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:25.480 of ducks. 261 00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:28.399 So this is where we picked up the story because 262 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:30.600 he put a call out for foster parents to care 263 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.840 for the newborn ducks. I'd like to go on the 264 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.679 record as reminding everybody and or a refreshing your recollection, 265 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:40.120 that I wanted to foster one of these ducks, and 266 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:41.279 you all said, no. 267 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.039 You have the biggest heart of all of us. Got it. 268 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:48.480 By the end of the day, people had good friends 269 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.039 and were allowed to go pick up a duck to foster. 270 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:53.360 And so by the end of the day only a 271 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.440 few of the scraggly dozen were left of the tiny, yellow, 272 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:02.480 fluffy beings. His name is Howard Howie the duck Burkowitz. 273 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:08.039 He's in his sixties. He wears glasses, salt and pepper beard. 274 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.080 They say that his gray hair pokes out of the 275 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.759 sides of his ball cap, not unlike the flicked feathers 276 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:14.559 of a duck's tail. 277 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:19.159 This Howie, Howie, Howie the duck call him Howie Howie 278 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.399 has dedicated his life to this. I mean he lost 279 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.080 his marriage to this and doesn't have kids, so these 280 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:27.200 are his kids. 281 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:31.279 He is a former biochemist, a part time classic car guy. 282 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:36.279 But yeah, his life's work is the Duck Pond. 283 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:40.399 This is lace less than an acre in rural Winchester 284 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.759 in Riverside County. It's home to a motley crew of 285 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:49.159 four hundred ducks, geese, chickens, including a hybrid goose the 286 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:55.000 Hawaiian Nini. He feeds them daily, make sure they're kiddie 287 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.519 pools are replaced with clean water every few hours. 288 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:01.639 He has a heat out of all of the ones 289 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:04.360 that he takes care of. He has a pet named Gousifer. 290 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:08.559 Now that is a good name. Gusifer must be a 291 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:11.799 handful that rides with him. He is. 292 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:16.480 Gusifer is his ride or die. 293 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.039 He says. When they bond with a human, you actually 294 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:21.120 become part of their flock. We have to go here, 295 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.159 We have to go here.

Some people 316 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:24.279 don't like the property that he runs with the ducks 317 00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:24.960 and the geese. 318 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:28.320 Oh man, what a nuisance, what a huge But. 319 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:30.960 He says, we've had animal control called on us several times. 320 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.519 Animal Control comes out, does their due diligence, and we 321 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:35.679 have passed every single inspection. 322 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.919 On top of water bills and food expenses of up 323 00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.720 to one hundred and seventy dollars a day, he has 324 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:46.360 a vet bill of three thousand dollars to pay. He 325 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:48.919 estimates spending about one thousand dollars of his own money 326 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:51.480 each month on operations that are not covered by the 327 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:53.360 donations to his nonprofit. 328 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.240 I think I think Howie, as much as he might 329 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.639 enjoy seeing you and showing you the property, would appreciate 330 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.159 if you just dropped a couple of ducats, get it 331 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.440 into his GoFundMe page, maybe to help you well, because 332 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:09.920 he's talking about buying a larger property. They're talking about 333 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.960 twenty acre property that he wants to get where they'll 334 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:15.039 have a bigger plot to roam, of course, and then 335 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.160 he needs to build a home for those rescues, and 336 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:19.160 that's going to take a lot of money. 337 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:21.160 When did it just be nice to get a baby duck, 338 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.119 one of these little baby ducks, these a little yellow 339 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.400 furry guys, and wrap him up in something in case 340 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:31.200 his finxtirt, his sphincter, lack of sphincter becomes a problem. 341 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.160 So you have like a little diaper on him and 342 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.480 just hold a baby duck for like an afternoon, And 343 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:36.519 that sound nice. 344 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:42.559 With a diaper, with a diaper, yeah, for the afternoon, 345 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:43.519 like a whole afternoon. 346 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:47.119 A couple hours seems like a lot, all right. 347 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:50.000 Back to the story of the day and the reason 348 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:52.759 why we know, at least in this moment, that God 349 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:54.599 loves us and wants to give us nice things. 350 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:56.279 Robert F. 351 00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.680 Kennedy Junior has posted a video on social media media 352 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.000 in which she admits that he dumped a dead bear 353 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:06.599 cub in Central Park ten years ago, and he's talking 354 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:07.839 to Roseanne Barr. 355 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:12.599 Which also makes perfect sense.
