Find out more about them at Klausor drilling.com. See 5 News, your place. Dave Richardson on the phone here. Dave, you wanted to respond to what former Senator Berchiger was talking about with businesses moving out of the state. Now, you're just driving in from K. Falls this morning. Welcome.

Thank you. Yeah, not so much about business exiting. state, but his comment about there being a less of a revenue pool to draw from. Yes. And I have told everybody who will listen, maybe I'm telling more people now, I don't know. But the best way to generate revenue is to get the people on board, raise the minimum wage standard. Because if you can't get, if you can't get taxes from businesses, if you raise everyone's wages,

Now you're getting 30% more of whatever you added their wages to, and they get the revenue that way because they don't have to do more for that revenue, especially that revenue. Is there not a risk, though, of Oregon businesses being even more uncompetitive, though, by raising the minimum wage? Because minimum wage right now in Oregon is relatively high compared to other states even right now, what, 1505, I think, here in Jackson County and Josephine County? Well, see, yes, you're right. There is that. There is that. But what will wind up happening is you'll get rid of everybody who is smart and can leave. And you'll wind up with McDonald's, all the fast food places, all the restaurants, everybody who is providing services where you can't move your business and start a new business in another state because you don't have a product that is marketable as a standard. Like both, Botech, for instance. Right. Botech is a standard in the industry, not the only one, the A standard in the industry. So they will be able to go anywhere and still sell their product.

McDonald's, the places that actually generate, I would say, income tax revenues, it's like up at the manner. I mean, if the manner, your manner employees, they don't, they don't get to, they're not going to pack up the manner and leave it. Yeah. So you, they. Yeah, but that's kind of. But that's almost dependent on transfer payments, though. You know what I'm getting at it? It's not necessarily an economic driver.

Am I wrong to look at it that way or not? I mean, maybe I'm right. Yes, I think you're right. It's a transfer payment, but it becomes an economic driver. If you can get everybody all the liberals to vote on the, I'm making $27 an hour. Okay, but your cost of goods sold has increased. Therefore, we're going to raise the price of it, but the government hasn't had to have. had to do anything to substantiate a higher revenue income.

Yeah, except that, yeah, this is sounding a bit like a mom-dani economics, though, isn't it? Well, the point that I'm making is I don't support increasing minimum wage. Oh. The point that I'm making is the government. That's how they substitute it. They say, if we can get all you guys to vote for raising the minimum wage, we don't have to do anything for the extra revenue that we're now wanting to get and the businesses are leaving. Now I understand what you're trying to make. I misinterpreted your point, David. Thank you so much.

All right. It's a quarter after eight at KMED. Kim Commando Digital Upd is coming up there. Stacey Washington will join me from Project 21 in just a minute. This hour of the Bill Myers Show is sponsored by Fontana Roofing. For roofing gutters and sheet metal services, visit Fontanaroofing Services.com. If you've been thinking about replacing your garage door, Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice accused the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, of using race-based discrimination. They did an investigation about that. And essentially what they were doing was trying to get more black and brown people into medical school.

And Stacey Washington is an ambassador for the Project 21 group. And she had an interesting take on this in the New York Post. Stacey, it is a pleasure having you on the program. Good morning. Thank you so much for having me on. Stacey, could you tell me more about Project 21, first off, before we get into what your op-ed was digging into? It's a black leadership network, and we're a part of National Center for Public Policy Research. All right, very good. And you put a piece out that is pretty simple.

I don't know if people are going to, if a lot of people on the opposite side are going to like you for this one, but it says you want more black doctors improve K through 12 education first. That could be fighting words in some places, wouldn't you think? Well, most things that I say are fighting words to the left because I speak the truth, but that doesn't stop me from speaking and writing about these things. And my interest in this is not so much based on wanting more black doctors or lawyers or black anything. It's actually the statistic that I share in the article. This is my second piece on education in the New York Post and California Post talking about Education in America because the focus is on how many, like what percentage, how many raw numbers of black this or that or whether or not black children should speak proper English, which is what I wrote about the week before.

Or if we should have black American English. And instead of focusing on those things and spending millions of dollars on the raw numbers of black students who are in medical school or brown students who are in medical school, we should be looking at K-12 education and saying, why isn't it working anymore? We used to be number one in education across the world. Now we're, you know, number 50, number 60, depends on what metric you're looking at. 70% of fourth graders in America, no matter what their race is, 70% of fourth graders can't read on grade levels. So that means the majority of children in American education and public education in the K through 12 are not being served. And so instead of focusing on the number of kids who are, obviously, if you can't read in the fourth grade, you're not on a track to take the MCAT. You're not even close.

You're not on the track to graduate from high school. You're not on the track to be able to read, you know, signs that all of us can read as adults or newspapers or technical manuals on how to hook up your refrigerator. or you're not on track to be able to do that. And so education in America needs an overhaul. We need to remove the sexual content. We need to remove all of the obsession about 57 genders and transitioning children from one gender to another, which is biologically impossible.

And we need to refocus on simple grammatical concepts, sight words, recognizing numbers, being able to do math, progressively, more difficult mathematical concepts so that kids can get out of algebra two in the eighth grade and actually be ready for calculus as freshmen in high school. There's so much trigonometry. These are so many different mathematical types

that children aren't even being exposed to in high school anymore because they're still taking algebra as 10th and 11th graders when they should have finished that in the eighth grade. And in order to be on track to go to medical school, do you need to take calculus as a senior or statistics as a senior? And I said calculus, let me correct. You need to take calculus two as a senior. You need to take statistics as a senior.

These are the tracks you need to be on if you want to be an engineer, if you want to be in any of the sciences. And they also need to take advanced biology. They need to take anatomy, physiology. These are classes they have to take. And then if you really want your child to be able to problem solve, which is what medicine is about, you have to have them taking classes like rhetoric and logic so that they can learn how to think through problems but not be triggered by people disagreeing with them because huge swath of what you do as a doctor is disagreeing with people or having them disagree with you.

Oh, yeah. What method or protocol would be taken. So, you know, this is a serious endeavor. You have to have at least one of the two parents in the household who's almost completely dedicated and obsessed with the kids' education. Kids have to be primarily focused and obsessed with education by high school at five hours of homework a night, three to five hours a night, five nights a week. It's their full-time job.

And then you have to get them into tutoring and extracurricular activities like music, because music is another language. And most children who master a musical instrument score higher and more proficiently on mathematical exams because they learn that additional language of music, which helps them to navigate mathematics, which is another language. So I'm speaking about this as someone who, this is my experience. I've been married for 30 years. I've been a mom for 27 years. and I spent my entire, the childhood of all three of our children, primarily obsessed with making sure that they could get the education that I felt they deserve as my duty to them as a parent to prepare them for life

with or without my husband and myself. Boy, your children were very fortunate to have you having that emphasis. A lot of kids don't have that. And when you talk about 70% of fourth graders aren't able to read it, efficiency. It's a real issue. And you're not going to fix that in college remedial, right? You just can't do it by that time. No, no. By the time you get to college, if you're taking remedial math in college, you're not going to be on a trajectory to do a STEM field career, because unless you're planning on going to college for six years. So you can still do it. I'm not saying it's impossible, but you really need

that remedial work to be done in the K through 12 years and preferably in grammar and middle school so that by high school, you're proficient or advanced in every area, which opens every professional avenue to you, whether it's STEM or literature, the arts, you can go into any of those fields, but adequately prepared coming out of eighth grade, then the option to do whatever you would like to do is open to you to make the decision instead of you being forced through the tracking system into, you know, less rigorous, a less rigorous direction educationally because you haven't, you just don't have the background to be able to do that. Well, you don't have the right stuff, so to speak.

You just don't have that background. I don't know if, well, of course, anyone who's gone to college understands that college is going to be about reading, reading, and more reading, as you well know, I would imagine. And if you're not reading in fourth grade and you're not reading by fifth grade or sixth grade or seventh grade, you're not getting that, you know, that basis right now. Is there a point in K through 12 where it's too late to really become a profession reader before getting into college and then getting into MCATs or STEM field? Well, I mean, I think a lot of educators would say, yes, there is. But I've also, because I read a lot about this in writing opinion editorials about education.

And I actually did some research when I was on, of all things, Diversity Committee, it was a few black moms and the principal who joined Diversity Committee. And all of us were intent on not doing any work on diversity. we did work on improving kids' test scores and improving math scores in the grammar school building where our kids were attending school. And we were the Diversity Committee, and we did no work on diversity. And what we learned because we were research-oriented is that a child can get a year and a half to two years of educational work done in a single school year of 10 months if they're focused, if their parents are participating, and if the teachers are intent on teaching the child.

So I would say any student who you say to your child, you hand them a letter from the doctor and say, read this to me, and they can't read it, and they're 14 years old. And then you sit down with them and read for 20, 30, 40 minutes a day every night, five nights a week. You make that your goal. You attach rewards to that. And you talk to your child if you care about them instead of punishing them or degrading them. You tell them, wow, we need to work on reading. And I know you can do this. And you sit down and you spend a year doing that, you'd be amazed at what the human brain can do.

It's like a muscle. It can do whatever you believe it can do. And so people who focus on education actually get results in education. If you focus on sports, you get results in sports. So it's whatever the focus is and the positive energy that's placed in that direction. Can you do it in time to become a doctor if you're already out of high school? Probably not because of the being a doctor is a calling, first of all. There's a certain personality type that does well.

and then there's also the advanced thinking, advanced reasoning and analytical skill that goes along with that. In addition to the amazing amount of information that people have to be willing to learn, and becoming a doctor means devoting yourself to eight more years of education after your bachelor's, and you need to have an academically rigorous bachelor's with two minors, a minor in psychology and a minor in chemistry, is usually how they do it, a major in biology. So it's a difficult road. I think a person who's determined to do it can do anything, but our primary focus should be on getting a good, solid American education,

the standard we used to have about 50 years ago. What changed, in your opinion, Stacey? And by the way, Project 21 Ambassador Stacey Washington, and we're talking about a commentary she put in the New York Post and the title of it. I just want to make sure you know about this. Want more Black Doctors, Improved K through 12, education first. Now, Oregon is all over race-based medical school admissions. They've been very big on

this. And, and of course, I have a feeling they're probably under investigation too, like a university of California. It's San Diego, a lot of this. But it sounds like what you're saying is that they're going from the wrong end of education, right? You know, trying to say, well, we're just going to put the quotas in at college. That's just not working, is it? That's the way I understand it. It can't work. It can't work. So you can't come in at the end, right? You can't come in at the end. If I'm baking you a cake, you can't wait until I'm adding a frosting and say the cake should be chocolate when I've made you a yellow cake. If you made you a yellow cake, you want chocolate, you should have told me in the beginning. That's the ingredients I would have put in. The ingredients for a doctor are completely

different than the ingredients for an English major or someone who's going to go into social sciences. So you have to start with the children when they're really, really small. And here's the fascinating part. And I challenge any person to prove me wrong because I did this with our children based on another mom telling me she was doing it with her daughter. I'm no good at math. I am a comart soul. I collect dictionaries. I love words. I love English. I love to read. I do not like math. But I didn't want my children to have that same focus. So starting at three, I got these flashcards that a friend in the pickup line mentioned to me she was doing with her kids. She said, my daughter's going to be a mathematician. I said, how do you know? She said, because I'm teaching her.

So I get these flashcards, and they're basically reasoning flashcards. Some of them have math problems in them, but most of them are just questions about mathematical concepts. And they're by age level. So I got the three to five age group and started doing those five minutes a night with my children. All three of my kids did calculus in high school or statistics. No kidding. That's an accomplishment that I don't take credit for because they did the work. But they learned to love math because I taught them to learn it, to love it. I taught them that math was fun instead of the way I learned. Math is hard work and it's mean and it's scary and look at these letters and numbers mixed together.

What do you make of that? Yeah, exactly. Well, you know, it sounds like, though, that, you know, you helped out. Is there a case to be made, though, that your children learned well because you yourself were passionate about it too. I learned to read when I was three and a half, maybe four years old because my mother was a passionate reader and it rubbed off of me and, you know, I sounded it out, it was phonics and things like that. It helped me so much over my entire academic life and it occurs in my current talk radio job. It's like I'm reading and reading and reading, you know, all the time.

As a same for me. In my radio job, I have to read a lot and I love doing it because I was taught to read by my mom and I started reading at about three. And so it's a same. It's true. The passion of the parent does get passed down to the child, but if you're not passionate about education, you can still focus on making sure that your child prioritizes it and respects education and treats their brain like a muscle that they can work. You don't have to have a passion for it. It doesn't have to be a calling for you.

If you don't feel that way, it's still something you can instill in your child by teaching them early, giving them the skills that they need to take control of their education, and then telling them, you know, you're in charge of your education. is one of the few things in life no one can take from you, the fact that you can read, the fact that you can do math. So let's focus on this. Let's read and attach rewards to the reading. Little, the little pinky-sized ice cream cones, some time at the pool. You know, I'm going to let you order things from the scholastic books.

If you read 30 minutes a night, you know, all summer long you're going to get to order $20 every time the scholastic books orders come through. Whatever floats your child's boat, attach that to their educational. outcomes, make it fun and rewarding, and you don't have to be finally educated. I dropped out of college, so when people talk about, oh, you must have done well, I didn't. I didn't do well in college. I went to the military, and I did well there. But I was passionate about my kids' education because I thought it was fun, and also because I thought these are the only people in the world who I kind of have complete control over,

I want to do a good job with it, and I want them to have fun in education as opposed to it being drudgery and work. And it's just the attitude that can make a world of difference with your kids. So parents need to get back in control of education. Stop leaving it to the teachers. They're overwhelmed with the NIA and the AFT and the woke monsters who are trying to control them. It's incredibly politicized.

I'll give you that. Stacey, do you think that the United States culture is starting to turn around a little bit and be okay with promoting intellectual pursuits? It seems like the culture has been kind of skidding for a long time in which, you know, intellectual pursuits and education seem to be getting downgraded in some form out there in popular culture. What do you think about that, if all, if anything at all? Popular culture, you perfectly characterized it. It ebbs and flows. It has cycles.

It has, you know, this is in vogue. Being silly is in vogue, being, you know, whatever. But in the most successful arenas of American society, education and intellectual pursuits have always been highly respected, highly sought after, and valued. And you kind of have to decide what part of American culture you want to be a part of. If you want to be a part of popular culture, then you're going to be taken by the tides and you're going to go with the wind and whatever the popular culture is, that's what you'll be a part of. But if you want to be a part of the world that sends rockets to space and, you know, lands them on chopsticks, if you want to be a part of the world that has reusable drones and drone ships and Seronic, the new company that's making a drone ship, the people who have stimulating an intellectual conversation about ideas, the kind of a world where there's continual excitement because of the creativity of the greatest minds on Earth,

which are centrally located in the United States, by the way, then you'll always see intellectuals. pursuits as a higher, a worthy, higher calling that you will devote yourself to. And so, you know, that's the best thing about America. You can be anything. You can prioritize anything in America. And I highly encourage people to see this as a choice that they're making, regardless of what popular culture elevates. I don't know any people, personally, who I'm close to,

who don't see higher education, higher intellectual pursuits as a primary. achievement that they continue well, you know, into elder age, reading lots of books, having lots of stimulating conversations and knowing other people who do the same. It's what makes life great. It's the sport of life. There's nothing better. Stacey, where do you broadcast, by the way? I'm on Sirius XM, Patriot Channel. Good for you. What time? It's 9 to Midnight, Monday through Friday, on Patriot Channel. And if you are not a late person, if you have the serious X-M app you can listen to me first thing in the morning. As you get ready with your coffee and head off to work, I'll be your best friend then. Stacey, I appreciate you coming on. It's a

pleasure getting a chance to know you and really appreciate what you wrote about in the New York Post. It is spot-on analysis in op-in. Okay. Thank you for having me on today. Thank you very much. Stacey Washington Project 21. 836, KMED, 993 KBXG is where you are on the Bill Meyer show. When your water stops, everything stops. You're here in the Bill Myers Show on 1063, KMED. David is in the Bay Area. David, are you smoked in down there from the various wildfires? What's your story today?

No, no, but I'm concerned about it because Trump not only wasn't providing aid to Canada to help put him out, But he was denying aid to the various blue states. And Oregon is considered a blue state. So I see one of the local stations is saying FEMA has finally partially granted Oregon's request. Yes. Yeah, he has been partially granted. Yes. Yeah, which is too little too late, right?

This guy is, what is it, the BLM land to the federal? lands, he's not sending anybody in there to rake the forest. And then he complains and does, as far as I'm concerned, he's pocketing the money. That's an interesting claim, David. That's an interesting claim. It would need a little bit of evidence to that. The main thing that I recall from President Trump is that what he, what has been controversial around here, at least to summon the the LAM is to actually get these lands more productive and actually earn money and earn economic activity in order, whether it's logging or whether it's through some other form in order to be able to earn the money and the economic activity to be able to do the forest treatment

programs. Cost a lot of money. Those forest service programs do not pay for themselves and they're There's a book written a couple of few years ago called Blackfire, and it's the story of San Francisco in its earliest days when the gold rush was going. And there were a bunch of mysterious wildfires in the city that burned down the city four or five times. And whether it was an arsonist or just bad luck is that issue. If you get a chance to read it, what the problem is, them was then was they had privatized fire departments and they would show up at your front door and then you would have to either pay them in advance to put out the fire or they'd start

fighting in the street among each other. I remember those stories. I have read about the early forms of fire departments, but the one thing I've assure you is that the firefighters that are in our forest fires, in fact, we have 15,000 acre one east Evans Creek, which has been controlled quite well fortunately. Most of them are all, I mean, there are some private contractors, but many of them are Oregon Department of Forestry. My bigger picture, though, is that when Trump comes up with an excuse like you're saying, oh, go out and get a job and then we'll put out the fire for you.

I don't recall him saying that, but I'll let you go. Go ahead and get and make your point there. Okay? Go ahead. Donald Trump, I've said this before on your show and 100 others, that Donald Trump is the son of the slum lord, and that most of the. and that most of his properties are slum lord properties. And the constant excuse for why he doesn't fix the plumbing or why he doesn't fix the roof

or why he doesn't fix a broken window is whitties are lazy people that won't get a job and that's they deserve to live this way. Okay. I tend to look at him a little bit differently. In fact, I looked at what happened with the United States Capitol during July 4th and whether you agreed with the fireworks displaying everything else. It looks like it was polished up pretty well. If he's a slum, Lord, it's a pretty good-looking slum over there in D.C. right now, wouldn't you say?

You haven't seen the air quality. Typically, they would blow it blow off 20 to 30,000 fireworks on the 4th of July. He went for 600,000. You know something? It doesn't get any bigger than that. It's once every 250 years. David, it's okay. It's all right. The air cleared. The air cleared, okay? It's fine. You can go there now. It's not funny, though. It's not funny. It is. It is funny. If you're going to complain about all the things the Trump administration does and all you can really, the air quality on July 4th with all the fireworks.

Nobody could go to the Washington monument. Nobody could go to the reflecting pool because it was a swamp. He had a, he pocketed the money. for the 250th anniversary. You remember, Doge shut down the 250th. When Doge got into the Treasury, it took 60% of what America had put together, $100 million to celebrate the 250th birthday. So I would just like to see the evidence of the pocketing the money. It's a big claim there, David. Appreciate the call.

And, yeah, I don't think you and are not going to agree on that much. but enjoy it. It's going to be a long two years for David, I think. It's 843. If you're planning your next adventure, stocking up for emergencies, or maybe you're just looking for, I don't know, something you won't find in an average store. Might I suggest you visit our friends over at Army, Navy, Marine Store, and Central Point,

sponsor of my studio here, all right? Military surplus, camping and survival gear, backpacks, boots, knives, flags, patches, pins, decals, clothing for men, women. Kids. I don't know if they have clothing for people of indeterminate gender. They normally go with men and women and kids. But anyway, just kidding, guys. All right, rucksacks and gilly suits, survival food, it's all there. And so when President Trump is finished destroying the world, according to David, you'll still have your survival food. Now, I'm just having fun with you. You get that, right? Army Navy Marine Store at 5100 Crater Lake Avenue and Central Point. You can also

ended up taking the fifth. He took the fifth this morning. didn't want to incriminate himself. I'm going to talk with some legal eagles about that tomorrow. One lawyer says it's a pretty good idea that he did. Senator Ryan Paul, not real happy about that, though. Because you refuse to answer, citing a privilege that is unsupported because of your pardon, and after being denied to do so, this committee has scheduled to vote next week on a resolution certifying your contempt.

Yep, for contempt, contempt of Congress. And Dr. Anthony Fauci didn't say. say much really other than I take the fifth, you know, that sort of thing, but he did mention this about Rand. Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion. Okay. Yeah, contempt, I suppose.

All right. Yeah, an opinion. Go ahead. Let me know. 7705-633-770K-M-E-D. My email of Bill at Billmyershow.com. Emails of the day, sponsored by Dr. Steve Nelson, Central Point Family Dentistry.com, next to the new Mazadlan Mexican restaurant in Central Point.

Nice location. You're super comfortable while you're getting comprehensive state-of-the-art dental care for the entire family. By the way, they have, if you don't have a dental insurance, and a lot of people don't. They have a dental plan there, which is a lot, or at least it works a lot like dental insurance, but it's considerably less expensive and better benefits. Find out more. Central Point Family Dentistry.com. Granny, calling me or writing me, rather, about David, we saw just a moment ago, David, our favorite progressive out of, well, I'll say it's going to be a long couple of years for him, I would imagine. But Granny says about David, I bet he thinks that Biden was great.

And also adds, listening to you car guys a little bit earlier, I'm thinking that someone with repair knowledge could do well fixing up older cars and trucks for resale now. in the future. I imagine, Granny, that is certainly a growth industry, you know, finding vehicles that, you know, you think about it, maybe a number of years ago, certain older cars, it wouldn't have penciled to repair them. But when you're looking at what's going on out there and a lot more people saying they don't really want the surveillance vehicles, you know, out there on them, they're not real happy, right? So it could be, could be something for an enterprising young man and young woman get involved with. Elmer writes me about Lindsay Graham. I was talking about this

astounding footage which is now starting to come out and no one's talking about it because all we're doing right now somebody dies in Washington, D.C., and everybody says what an absolute perfect person they were, just an angel and gosh, what super patriots they were. That's just the way it goes. That's what happens. You have to go through the it's kind of like the North Korean dear leader political statements when we have someone die

in Washington, D.C. in Congress. But Elmer says, Bill, Lindsay Graham was, and all the other war mongers there are psychopaths. The United States has done nothing but create more enemies over the decades of war in the Middle East. I highly recommend listening to Scott Horton and how we've been lied to in these never-ending wars. Trump ran on changing that, and he's flip-flop so quickly. It's hard to believe other than he has been compromised. I don't know about that, Elmer, but maybe I'll toss it out to the Southern Oregon jury. What do you think about that?

about what Elmer is saying about that. Could be compromised. Now, Jerry weighs in this morning and says, Bill, I fact-checked my comment from the other day. According to Google AI, Richard Nixon knew his whereabouts on November 22nd of 1963. He was in Dallas at a business convention. George H.W. Bush was in Texas, too. However, when I made the comment, I would have bet $100 that Nixon himself said he didn't know where he was on that day. could AI be wrong or maybe Nixon being 79 years of age when he appeared on Larry King's show?

Didn't it remember at that moment? That could be. Could be. Butch weighs in from Gold Hill. Bill, we ran out of time for my second call the other day. But I was really interested in that flock camera discussion. I have no problem with him, but I understand we could never have enough law enforcement on duty to do the same job. And you're absolutely right about that, Butch.

Regarding health care, our government is killing private health care. with reduced payment for services provided by Medicare, Medicaid, and those services contracted by the VA. We need to have hospital administrators and bureaucrats discuss fair reimbursement. Even those with no insurance will still be a problem for providers. Friends I worked with had a landscaper, a housekeeper, and a beautiful home, but no health insurance.

I look forward to our president having time to address this problem. Butch from Gold Hill. Butch, I appreciate that. Kevin writes in, Bill. in Grants Pass, flock, those flock cameras. How many of Edgewater Church's flocks got flocked by the camera hidden behind the speed limit sign on Foothill Boulevard and Agnes Avenue? It's right where you turn to get into the sanctuary. It's also pointed in a direction as to record license plates coming into and leaving Grants Pass via Foothill Boulevard.

It is also no longer there. Hmm. Patrick weighs in this morning, Bill, here's the issue. your privacy is protected, your property's privacy is not protected. This is where the next legal battle will be fought over the flock cameras. Fauci. Dr. Fauci is what John says. Dr. Fauci should be sitting in a jail cell doing hard time.

I think of all the other bad players in this whole COVID-19 scam. And Patrick. Oh, I read that one yesterday, Patrick. I saved it. Although I thought it was a good one. Typically two responses to sudden fame, soak it up like a narcotic or be very skeptical looking for the dagger. We know what Fauci did, right? All right, I appreciate it.

Hi, I'm Matt Stone, owner of Stone heating and air, and I'm on 106.3, KMED. 770563 rather here on the Bill Meyer show. Bob Hayworth also wrote me on this article, or this thing we were talking about earlier with Eric Peters during Wheels Up Wednesday, about, you know, what vehicle did you sell that you actually regretted? And I'm going to get to Todd's call at a minute about this, too.

And Bob writes, Bill, when I was 17, I bought a 1952 MGTD for $500. D drove it through high school, college, and for years after. Then when I moved to Colorado, I had my dad stored for me until I could arrange to move it, but he sold it. Wow. But my bigger regret are the valuable. guitars I've sold. By the way, my neighbor, Perry Atkinson, I think you know him,

loves to poke me in the eye when he drives by in his 1952 TD. Those are beautiful cars, Bob. Thanks for share of the story. And Todd's here. I want to make sure I got your name right there. Hello, Todd. How are you? Great. The guy talking about the, he lamented

selling the scout. I used to have one of those too, but when I was in college, I bought a 1955 Portia, Continental 356, 1,500 Super. Is that one of those so-called tea kettle, Porsches? A bathtub, the upside-down bathtub. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. So the first generation Porsche's 1949 to 1955 are the most collectible.

I bought it for $1,600. I sold it for $3,000. Today, those go for about a quarter of a million dollars. Oh. And the blou-pongued radio worked and the original clock worked. But one quick comment before you go, so when you'd get it up to, it was like an airplane wing design, you know, the bathtub upside down. When you'd get it up to about 100 miles an hour, the front wheels would lift off the ground that you could turn the steering wheel and you just keep going straight until you backed off the throttle and then they touched down again. I remember cars like that.

But my dad's 1969 Cadillac Coup de Ville did that same sort of thing. And, you know, unlike I could actually go pretty fast, it was a pretty good power on that thing with that 472V8. But 110 miles an hour, it's like you had no steering feeling whatsoever, right? Nothing. Yeah, but it was a nice relaxing ride. When you got to your destination, you were all rested. Unlike the Porsche. But what a beautiful car that was, I'll bet.

Just beautiful. It was, but every time I parked it, I was always afraid that even back then, when they weren't worth as much, I was always afraid it was going to get stolen. So it was like it took the fun out of it. All right. Well, I'm glad you shared it anyway. We'll talk again tomorrow, right? On conspiracy theory Thursday, you'd be well.
