Six, three KMED. Now, Bill wants to hear from you. Five, four, one, seven, seven, five, six, three, three. That's seven, seven, oh, KMED. And we're going to get to the phones.

It's open phones the entire hour for Pebble in Your Shoe Tuesday. We talked about a lot of things this morning, everything from the Oregon political situation to what's going on with the Trump administration and more. And there was, oh, I have to share this. I have to share this with you. I caught this on YouTube. This was a YouTube short out there. And it was from the early 1960s. Remember George Carlin? Now, when I was growing up a kid in high school, the early 70s, it was or mid 70s, it was Hippie Dippie Weatherman and you know, all that kind of stuff. He was sort of in his his hippie comic deal. But he always did very pointed political commentary and also satire about what really goes on in the government even then.

This is I think from a Tonight Show appearance that he had in the early 1960s. I want to say 1961, 1962, black and white. And it reminds me of the conversation going on about Epstein files and the releasing of other government information. It just made me laugh out loud because it rhymes so well. We've got a document that every American ought to see. This here is a list of 146 outstanding communists in the State Department.

Each and every one of these 123 names has been thoroughly investigated by the FBI. We're going to take these 94 guys and throw them in jail where they belong. All 62 of them, believe me. You've got a list with 38 names on it like that and you know how to work with it. We know how to handle these 17 commies. Not one of the five of them will get away. And when that guy shows up he's in trouble, pal. So you go from 146 down to one and even that one might disappear. I can't help but there's a little

bit of, well maybe a lot of that going on in our own system, you know, bipartisan sort of deal. Let me go to Francine. Hey, Francine, good to have you on Pebble in Your Shoe Tuesday. What's up, huh? Well, see, I want to talk about roads and traffic and people's behavior, so there's kind of two topics. Okay. In the past couple of weeks, I've had to use the Phoenix overpass. Oh yeah, that's the Divergent X, right? They kind of cross over each other. I remember when they put that in, I thought, boy, this is a little confusing, but it seems to be okay for most people.

But what did you think? Well, I believe it was in the first week somebody went the wrong way and the elderly person went the wrong way and died. Yeah, I do remember that. Yeah. You know, drove right into a truck or something. No, I have, okay, I keep thinking this makes absolutely no sense. It's just intentionally twisting it all around and, you know, people come, we've talked about

the roundabouts before and I said, I think they're they have you have to kind of use your brain and it's probably a good exercise for some people that don't do that very often but this thing I still can't it still doesn't make sense it feels so unnatural and it would be so easy to go the wrong way like I really have to focus when I'm in there because it just feels like I'm on like some kind of alien highway or something. Nothing is intuitive about going through the Divergent X intersection in Phoenix. No, it's a really bizarre design like somebody just thought they were being artistic. Roads are not supposed to be artistic. They're supposed to be functional and safe. I think the

purpose of the Divergent X, if I recall, what was discussed by the road designers back at that time, is that there wasn't a lot of real estate available, or a lot of money I guess, too, at that point. And it allows a lot of traffic to move in certain areas without having to spend a lot, if I recall. I think that was one of the reasons that was done. And it's not an incredibly busy intersection for the most part. I'm not giving excuses but I remember that's what we were told back at that time.

No, the way that thing functions... no, I'm sorry, I can't agree with that. Okay. Nothing simple about it. Okay, here's the other thing is, judge me just nuts. I'm going to use an example of going down Barnett towards the freeway from up at the hospital side. Okay. Okay, heading west. And you get to that intersection that takes you can either get onto the highway at Highland,

Highland and Barnett. Okay? Yeah, by Dairy Queen, by the Dairy Queen, right? Not too far from that. I guess. I don't know. I don't pay by the Dairy Queen, right? Not too far from that. I guess. I don't know. I don't pay attention to Dairy Queen. Well, I like Dairy Queen soft serve. I can't help it. I don't get it very often, but I like it. So I always look at that. You can indulge. It's okay. All right. So it's a double left turn lane. And what tends to happen in left turn lanes that drives me nuts. One thing people do not pull up close, especially when it's a high traffic area, they leave

like a full car lane between them and the person in front of them. Then also people tend to always go into the right lane more often than the left lane. They don't stay in their lane and then move over, right? Well, no. Well, what they do is they, the right side of the left-hand turn lane gets so full of cars, it ends up blocking other cars from getting into it using the other side. And it's slow, I mean, it drives me crazy. And if I can get into the other one, I'll do it. And it goes so quick and the other one is just going kicking if I get stuck on the other side it's forever you

know and usually sometimes you miss the light because it's such a long line I don't understand why people have no common sense to you know oh we'll just get over here and this makes it work for everybody. All right thank you for your pebble Francine. Be well. All right. All right. 7705633. That's how it works on Pebble in Your Shoe Tuesday. Join in and we'll be right back to talk with you. Joel here from Butler Ford and Truxon. Hey, I've got 74 new and used trucks in my inventory, including a brand new Ford Super Duty starting at $10,000 off MSRP. Here's how I do it. Ah, okay, hold on here, Dave, because you're bringing up something that happened almost two hours ago on the show. Right.

All right, that was Corey, and he's the EMF guy, EMF specialist, and he claims that they have this chip to put on the back of a cell phone that will reduce the harmful radiation effects. And maybe it's true, I would need to see some proof about it, but it sounds like nonsense to me. It's the first two, because I think that he's trying to reverse the polarity in the magnetic field from positive to negative or negative to positive. When I was a kid, my dad was remodeling a really old, old car that the negative side was the hot side and the positive side was the negative side. I mean the ground side. Okay, so how are you going to be changing the polarity of the magnetic field because

the magnetic field would be alternating current anyway. It would be positive and negative. You know, get the field going. Right. Well, I don't know. I'm not no expert, but I do know that you can put a chip on and reverse the polarity of the field going. Right. Well, I don't know. I'm not no expert, but I do know that you can put a chip on and reverse the polarity of the magnetic field. All right. Well, we'll see. Maybe he has a... My comment, my pet peeve is Epstein is a psychological op. Yeah,

I'm not saying he didn't commit those crimes, but his real crime is laundering money for the CIA, Five Eyes, and the British Crown. All right an interesting theory. Thank you Dave. 770-5633 Pebble in your Shoe Tuesday. What's the pebble in your shoe today? Hi this is Bill who says. Good Bill. It's Rich. Hello, Rich. So I have two things for you. One on the serious side, one maybe a little less. All right. The first one on the serious side is the intersection there at Phoenix that they overpass and stuff.

Yeah, that's the divergent X. I was talking about that with Frank Sin. The real principle of it was to not have people turning in front of each other, like a truck trying to enter the freeway. The way they enter the bin is just they have a right of way to go right on, instead of having to wait for a light to turn in front of something like you do at Barnett Road or 62. You're right, because you're right, you're not turning and less turning

would also tend to mean fewer conflicts. But I would agree with Francine that it can be to the uninitiated a little confusing. Would you agree on that? That some people could be confused by that design? Well I think once you've done it 21 times it's a habit. It's not that big a deal and she even made the comment that people need to use their brain and turning into lanes and stuff. So, yeah, maybe a little bit. Okay.

Okay. Here's, here's the other one. And this one's one that's more important. There's a few of us out there are concerned when you take vacation days. Oh, we need to know in three months ahead when you're going to have a vacation day so that we can apply for vacation ourselves. Because some of the Nimrods that you've had cover for you aren't worth a hoot, so I'd rather be off when you're off. Oh, okay. So... You know, I have to plan my vacations quite a

bit ahead. They won't let me... I can't find out on Thursday that you're not going to be there Monday. When I go on vacation, when I submit a vacation request to my boss, I should submit a request online too or on my Facebook page or whatever it is three months in advance. You have a following out here that this is important stuff. Life is good. Rich, I appreciate the kind words there. I don't know if I could give you three months. Maybe I could give you a month. Would you be okay with a month? Okay. I'll try that with my guys. They might let me work on that. Now, I'll let you know this one right away. Okay. Oh, I'm just going to I'm just going to look at the calendar right now for Christmas holiday. All right, because Christmas holiday. See if I can get my pulling up my outlook right now so I can file my vacation request with you.

Christmas is going to be on Thursday this year. I'll be doing my Christmas show Wednesday the 24th. We'll actually play music this year before I take off. So I will be off the 25th through Friday. I'll be coming back on Friday the 2nd of January. So if you want to file, because there's nothing going on in Talk Radio World that final week of the year and I feel sorry for all the BNC team people who have to fill in.

So there's going to be a fill-in from my fill-in filling in for that fill-in that final week. Okay? Yeah, I want that week off. Okay, good. All right. So you put it in. All right. Thanks, Rich.

Thank you. Thank you. That's very kind. All right. 7705633, Pebble in your shoe Tuesday. What's on your mind? Rich. Thank you. Thank you. Bye-bye. Thank you. That's very kind. All right. 7705633, Pebble in your shoe Tuesday. What's on your mind?

I love Pebble in Your Shoe Tuesday. People are reducing their cortisol and their stress by sharing what is bugging them this morning. I always enjoy that. Debbie, you're here too. You wanted to respond to Francine's talk earlier about that Phoenix intersection exit 24 on I-5. It's thy divergent X and some people like it, some people don't and oh no no, you were actually calling about Highland, right? The two, the double left turn?

Highland and Barnett. Okay, Highland and Barnett. Okay Highland and Barnett sorry sorry go ahead. Okay the reason that I get in the right hand lane and I think a lot of other people do too it's because I want to get on the freeway and that's the lane you need to be in to get on the freeway going north. If you get in the left-hand lane, then you get through the corner and then I want other people to let you in so you can get on the freeway. It's really rude. Nobody wants to let you in. Yeah, because everybody knows the scam because you know what's going on. Californian driver especially, because Californians know how to do the cut in and get ahead because it's just, know they're insane you know roadways and

California's know how to get somewhere so they get in the left lane they zoom to the very front of it and then there's always going to be some idiot polite Oregonian to let them in right I suppose though but I get in the lane that I need to be in so that I'm ready to turn. But you see there you are being the polite Oregonian, you know, once again. And this is a, oh, hi, Californian, you know, in the super fast. Well, you know, the little cars, especially with a 17-year-old in it with the fart can muffler that goes to the very left, they go to the very front. Those are the same people. do the when there's a merge coming up

ahead they will not merge they will not merge they will not merge they'll just zoom to the very front and there's always some idiot that lets them in and so if we would become more like Californians we wouldn't let them in. How about that? I guess. But I understand her issue because I sat there with the right lane full of cars and nothing in the left lane before. I want to tell you my pebble when it comes to you know out there in the driving world, right? When I'm on a two lane, a two lane turn, you know like you're talking about there, and how people... Oh no, I'm sorry.

One turn lane going into a two lane deal. And the law is very clear. You're supposed to turn into the lane closest to the center, right? Closest to you. And then invariably, what 90% of Oregonians do is that they turn left and they zoom and they go into the right lane instead of the left lane where they're supposed to turn into. And so that's it. I want a laser cannon to be able to take out people that do that when I'm trying to turn right. Would you be okay with that? Laser cannon? You're gonna have them built into your car? Absolutely, absolutely. Shooting out of the headlights or something. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, with lasers, you know. Yeah.

Thanks, Debbie. All right, 827, why don't we do the Diner 62 real American quiz? Have a little bit of fun, bit of a palate cleanser there, and then we'll be back to your pebbles. 770-563-3770, okay, maybe, well, maybe there's one more pebble, then I'll do Diner 62. Hi, who's this? Good morning. Welcome.

Hi, this is Dave. Dave, go ahead. What's up? Yeah, you were talking about the electric magnetic field earlier? Yes, yes. Good morning. Yes, the electric magnetic field here. There was a cell phone radiation guy who was trying to talk about his expertise.

Go ahead. It's not just the cell phones, there's other things as well. Like my experience with the electric blanket was my legs were jittering and when we took the blanket off the jitter stopped and then also I had an experience with a amplifier under the seat of my car and the area of my private area was jittering. When I covered the amplifier with cardboard and tin foil, then the jitters stopped there too. So I had those two experiences. Okay, now I have to ask you here Dave, you mentioned that your private area started

jittering because of this. I thought I had the prostate cancer, but it was the magnetic field. Okay. At first, I was thinking that some people would look at that jittering in that area as a feature, not a bug. That's all I was getting at. Okay. One last thing, Bill. Okay. I like to... know, when Miner Dave calls, I've been wishing over a couple of years now that you would ask him some questions about how successful he's been in the past and what kind of money he does, hard rock or pan or that kind of thing. I've never heard of it at all. I'd like to hear that. It'd be interesting, I think. Yeah, I don't know if he's actually been able to... because he's been famous, I think, for anything being locked up for mining, for his attempt at mining, but I'll have to ask him. All right. It'd be interesting to hear what he has to say since he's minored Dave all the time, but we never hear him say anything about his mining, his experiences.

Yeah, okay. Will do. I'll ask him next time. All righty? All right. Thank you. mining his experiences. Yeah, okay, will do. I'll ask him next time, alrighty? Alright, thank you. Thank you. 7705633, now then, Diner 62, Real American Quiz. 7705633, 770K, MED, we have a $20 gift certificate, some great American history, and a lot of fun, and it's multiple choice. And it's a great question about the moon landing,

all right? We just had that that anniversary just the other day, wasn't it? Yeah. 7705633 if you haven't won it in the last 60 days. We work for Donald Trump. We work for the American people. Get in the conversation. It's gonna make this country into a rocket ship. On News Talk 1063, KMED. Diner 62, real American quiz. Diner 62 is just south of White City, Highway 62, right by Wellburn's Weapons, Chevron there. Just wonderful food.

Last Friday, they delivered an amazing sandwich. I love the sandwich. I enjoy everything they do there, really. And they sent a turkey. Wasn't it BLT? It was, well, turkey and bacon. Turkey and bacon and cheese. Oh, it's delicious.

Onion rings with a two, even better. Man, avocado. If I'd ordered that, they would have put them on a two. Diner 62 will really take care of you, okay? So let me go to Peggy. Peggy would like to be a winner. By the way, there's one open line if you wanted to join in depending on, of course, I don't know if we'll go four deep or not. Hey Peggy, how you doing? Oh, I'm doing okay and I'm first again. Gosh, you're just so quick on that trigger, you know? But Peggy, it was this week last Sunday, it was last Sunday in history, July 20th, 1969,

President Richard Milhouse, which rhymes with White House, Nixon, along with millions of others, watches as two American astronauts walked on the moon. Later that night, Nixon recorded succinctly in his diary, the president held an interplanetary conversation with Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin on the moon. Anyway, America and the Soviet Union had been in a race to see who could get to the moon first ever since the Soviets beat the US into manned spaceflight with Yuri Gagarin's flight in 1962. Later, JFK vows that America would be first to put a man on the moon, saying

to be sure we are behind and will be behind for some time in manned flight, but we do not intend to stay behind and in this decade we shall make up and move ahead. So anyway, they put all sorts of money into the space exploration and then less than a decade after the moon speech, NASA sent the first man to the moon. Now the question for the win this morning, Peggy, how many men have walked on the moon? How many? Is it A, four? Is it B, six? Is it C, eight? D, ten? Or E, twelve men? How many men have been up there? From us at least. I'm not counting the aliens, okay? C. C. 8. Is it 8? Sorry. Let me go to Mel. Hello, Mel. Maybe you can bring some clarity here. It's not 8. Either 4, 6, 10, ten or twelve how many men overall have made it there six six oh actually six was Peggy's answer I think so I'm sorry I

gave you that wrong one so it's either four eight ten or twelve four four no all right operator error. Let me go to the next one. Hi. Good morning. Who's this? This is Eric. Hello, Eric.

So it's not four. It's not six. It's either eight, ten, or twelve. What's a U? Well, the answer is actually zero, but let's go with eight. You see, that's the conspiracy theory. Thursday answer. But you're very, yeah.

Was it eight? No. All right conspiracy theory, Thursday answer. But you're very, yeah, very good. Was it eight? No. All right. So, all right, maybe we'll change it then. How many men, supposedly, according to the United States official services and sources, have walked on the moon? Let me go to the next line.

Hi, good morning. Who's this? Hello? Hello. Hi. Hi, this is Mary. Mary this? Hello? Hello. Hi. Hi, this is Mary. Mary. So it's either 10 or it's 12.

I'm going to say 10. You're going to say 10. Was it 10? Oh, we got one more. One more and that's going to be it. Hi, who is this? Hi Bill, it's Peggy again. Peggy, you made it back in. You poor woman, because you got screwed the first time here, okay? I did. So now you're the last person standing, 12 or 12? I think it even doesn't. Yep, it was 12, according to the official sources. Okay. Total of six U.S. missions have landed man on the moon. In total, 12 have walked in six NASA missions. These missions ran over a three-year period, ending in 1972. And since 1972, no other crewed mission has landed

on the moon. Now, Nixon joined approximately 650 million people around the world in watching Armstrong and Aldrin as the astronauts left their lunar landing module and walked on the moon. Soviet Union and China, America's two biggest rivals in the space race, banned the broadcast. They were not allowed to see that. They didn't want people, you know, watching this. And after they planted an American flag on the moon's surface, the astronauts spoke directly to the president who congratulated them on their historic mission. His phone was linked to be a satellite through the NASA Control Center in Houston, Texas. So there we go. Peggy, after all of that drama, you are now gone.

All right, you hang on. And we'll have another one of these coming up. 770-5633 open phones on Pebble in Your Shoe Tuesday. Anything that happens beyond your mind. We'll have some emails of the day too. Geerson's Out outlet is the home of Escalating discounts what's escalating when something company that actually stands for something Good morning. This is news talk 1063 KMED and you're waking up with the Bill Meyers show. I've been selling my soul working all day over time hours for Bullshit pain so I can sit out here and waste my life away

drag back home and drown my troubles away yeah yeah Oliver Anthony I had to agree with you Eric on that one he has a newer song out that uh Bryce was telling me about this Bryce was telling me about this. It's called a scornful woman. I'll have to edit that up a little bit, but yeah, he gets a little spicy on it. But yeah, scornful, a scornful, mean, vicious, spiteful, scornful woman. That's a country song, right? Let me head back to Pebble in Your Shoe Tuesday Calls. Good morning, 770-563-3. Glad you made it through. Who's this? Todd and Central Point. Good morning, Bill. Good morning, Todd. First, I want to thank Eric for working, which is my beef, what sticks in my cross. So I go to the growers market over there in Hawthorne Park on Thursday mornings. I treat myself to some of the fine stuff that they have there.

And there's one baker there, very, very high quality stuff, not cheap, but I treat myself. And there's usually a little line and I'm waiting. And the same thing happened two weeks in a row, two different people in front of me, a small group of young people in their 20s, nicely dressed. They don't look transient or anything like that. Twenty-something year old woman, but well-spoken, nicely dressed, like I said. They each asked the proprietor the same thing. Can I pay with EBT coins? And for those who don't know,

like Eric who works for a living, EBT coin is a smaller denomination of the electronic benefit transfer and they're actually little wooden coins. Really? And it's a form of welfare and these able-bodied people on a workday, I'm semi-retired so I have a reason that I can be there. But they didn't seem to have that concern. And the proprietor said the same thing each time. Well, I can accept them, but I can't give you change. Well, in each case, the young lady said, oh, no problem. No problem because it's my money and Eric's money that's paying

for it. And if you were really on public assistance and you were scraping to get by and you needed that handout, hopefully for just a temporary period of time, you'd be shopping and food for less and you'd be pinching pennies and you'd be calculating to make sure your dollar or my dollar went as far as possible. That is what a person who was truly needy would be doing. Exactly. And you know, I attend a small church about a block from there, and I'm constantly cleaning up after the homeless. And I'm like a detective.

I pick up their trash and I kind of read through it and see what I'm going through. And it's kind of like a day in the life. And a lot of it is paperwork from where they're getting public assistance. And some of it is pretty substantial amounts of money. What kind of paperwork are you have you seen cleaned up? I'm just curious because if you said that there is assistance paperwork there must be kind of damning. Oh I can I still have it in my possession. One of them it was a receipt from one of the local stores like Safeway. And it was

a cash takeout and it said, AL US debit. I thought, what is that? So I looked it up. It's Alabama. It's an Alabama debit system, but it's a national system for public assistance. And I could see on the person's account that they had 700 bucks and they just took out $200 cash and they didn't buy anything at Safeway. It's just a free money coming out through the bank. One last real quick story and then I'm going to run away before I jump off a cliff. Hey, let me tell you, I appreciate you telling me. I wasn't even aware.

I did not know that there was an EBT card or a version of it in coin form, like a wooden coin form kind of thing. That's amazing. I had no idea. Wow. Bill, this is why we see so many homeless people or transants or bums or whatever you want to call them inundating Hawthorne Park in our southern Oregon area. We pay them to live like that. And it's not that I don't have a heart. I mean, I interact with these people all the time. Sometimes they're very gentle, decent people, but we're enablers. I'll agree with you there, and I'll give you an example. I drive in and out of the Bear Creek Center quite frequently going over to Bi-Mart. Oh dear. And there is just, there's about a buzzin' dozen of people there that usually seem to be working the baking rackets there, around there, around the fast food restaurants especially.

And it surprises me how I'll see the same people day in day out and they're holding up their signs, anything helps. I'm thinking, well, if you have the time in the wherewithal to sit there and hold your sign up and you are definitely able-bodied, you can tell they're able-bodied, able to get around okay, they're not in a wheelchair or anything else. If you can do that, then you could probably find some way to get some form of employment, even if only part-time, to try to help out. I guess you'd have to get cleaned up in order to go to work, but just saying, it's my thought.

Well, I see the same thing. I shopped at that grocery outlet near Stewart 99 there. It's the same people year after year. It's the same people that are begging from me. But I'll just tell you one quick story and then I'll jump off. So late one night I'm in an Albertsons and I'm checking out there may be three other people in the entire store. Two young ladies are checking out one in one line, one in the other. It obviously looked like it just came from working out. If you had told me that they had just competed in the Olympics the year before, I wouldn't have known any different. They were that physically fit looking. And the transaction of one of them was right in

front of me. Took an exceptionally long period of time. I thought, what is going on here? She only had like a handful of stuff. They had that computer screen in front of you. And so it wasn't like I was spying. It was just her transaction was right in my face. She was trying to figure out if I was spying, it was just her transaction was right in my face. She was trying to figure out if she was going to, how she was going to split her $13 purchase between her Wix card and her Snap card. And I could see that she had a $326 balance on there. And I thought, you know, maybe there's some situation at home where she needs all this,

but she just came from working out. She looks, you know, like in her early 20s, super fit, and she's got, she's buying it with my money, all this food. So, I'm, that's my pebble in my shoe. It's perpetual. That's a big one. Thank you very much for sharing that. 7705633, if you have your pebble call, I will be right with you. This is the Bill Meyers show. The purchase of another gutter manufacturing machine has spurred speculation in the offices of From Closard Drilling, and I'm on KMED. Mike in Central Point, hello Mike. You're concerned with... when I go gap-toothed hillbilly, right?

Hello, Mike? Mike, let me try it again. Hello, Mike. I think that might work this time. Are you there? Yes, I am. Okay. So I was using that term gap-toothed hillbilly, and you're thinking I'm not doing it right, huh? Well, no, just because. So I like Oliver Oliver Anthony and I've listened to you for years but just because someone likes a genre or a certain type of person and your comment that you should put on your gap-toothed hillbilly it just it just seems that you're assuming that and then it's inappropriate. Oh okay. I'm going toward what the left does you know just because I like Trump I'm considered a racist and or things like that.

And I just think that we need to move away from things like that because we're better than that. And it just doesn't seem right that you're assuming that a certain person is that way when we're not. Well, I wasn't making that assumption. I just, you know, I took Gap Tooth Hillbilly as usually it's dismissive from Salem. That's because that's the way Salem tends to look at us

is a bunch of Gap Toothed hillbillies there. But I would tend to embrace it as a badge of honor, I guess. And I guess this is coming from having grown up in a family with a lot of gap-toothed hillbillies. I guess I didn't look at it quite the... I didn't look at it derisively, okay? But point well taken. All right, Mike? All right. Thank you. You have a good day. All right.

You too now. Yeah. You know where I actually got the term was Paul Hanson, my old newscaster back when we first started doing talk here after 9-11. He would always come in here and it's just like, oh, they're going after the gap-tooth hillbillies in Southern Oregon again. Of course, he'd be laughing about this and talking about the attacks from Salem even back then.

So I always remember the Gap Tooth Hillbillies. Gap Tooth Hillbillies, here we go. Gap Tooth Hillbillies unite. All right. Let me go to Gene. Hello, Gene. Great to have you on. Hello.

Hello. What's up? Okay. Well, you just. Hello. Hello. What's up? Okay, well, you just brought up something else, but the phone, I was carrying, my daughter insists I have the phone with me at all times. And I have the phone in my pocket. My hips started hurting like crazy.

Well, I took the phone out of my pocket and put it down and see how thick I'm about that. I put it in a padded case and I'll stick it in my pocket with the padded case that's not hurting my hip. So there's possibly something to that what the guy was talking about. Oh yeah, and I think there is something about tissue heating and some issues possibly. I also don't like the fact that the FCC decided to shut down any other regulation of that. It's something that the federal government claims supremacy over. But yeah, I'm not convinced though that, you know, a

chip is going to all of a sudden change the radiation pattern of a phone, but that could be, you know, maybe that's something we would have to investigate for another day and that's what the the guest was actually talking about. Cherry is here, here, by the way, thanks for the call there, Gene. We got Cherry who's been waiting patiently. Hello, Cherry, what's going on? Hi, hi. Well, the pebble I have is that Hollywood has committed suicide. There's hardly any good movies except for the old ones, you know, the 2014, 2010. So I've got a list of movies that are really good. And the one that I saw recently of you know this year was Snow White and I felt like I had crawled back into my mother's womb at when I

saw that. When you when you said that is that said admirably or did you? Yeah yeah it was it was very cute it was at there was no blood shed, oh, it was very cute. It was, there was no bloodshed. Heads got cut off. Oh, you liked it then. Okay, all right. No guts, no guts flailed out onto the ground. Well, gosh, you know, if guts aren't flailing out on the ground, I don't tend to watch it,

but you know, I don't crash there. But hey, send me another list of the movies you like and I'll post it today, okay? All right? But but oh, okay But I have I have a list and I'll just read it out the mist by Stephen King 2007, uh-huh really good very good stone with De Niro and That was about a prison movie. It was excellent. Yeah, I would love to get them all on except I'm almost out of time. All right, so could you send me the list and

I'll post it too then we can talk more? How about that? Okay. All right. I want to give everybody a shot here before I turn into a pumpkin. All right, let me head to line one. I want to make sure and get everybody another shot hi who's this good morning bill i'd day uh... look i'll be clear that uh... guy who called you know about the public assistance uh... i'd i'd just want to say that uh... couple things you know the the welfare state and the social the other that the social estate in america in America is now well established.

When you look at just some of the examples that he gave, and I just want to say this, I don't think a lot of people understand, I think you do, and I know I do. But when you look at what Donald Trump is doing, I don't care what you think about him or his mean tweets, I mean, but when you look at what he's attempting now, okay, in terms of getting, cleaning the roles of people, able-bodied people who should be out there working, okay, and getting these people back to work and cutting just the trillions and trillions

and trillions of waste we have in this country. If you just think about that endeavor, to me it just takes on, it's just amazing what he's trying to accomplish, what he's accomplished so far. Because if we don't, if we don't, you know, what the caller a few callers ago you know described in down at Hawthorne Park is it's just going to get worse. Yeah and uh and also what he's up against in that attempt. Great call to wrap it up. We'll talk more tomorrow. Wheel's Up Wednesday. Thank you so much.
