And welcome to trimradio.com, where we are on every Wednesday night at 08:00 p.m. [00:01:50] Speaker A: And it's now eastern standard daylight time. Wow. How are you guys doing with all this time change? [00:01:57] Speaker B: I don't know about you, but it. [00:02:00] Speaker A: Is really getting the best of me. [00:02:02] Speaker B: I have no idea why it takes me two weeks to get over this stuff. It really does. [00:02:10] Speaker A: I mean, my biological clock is broken. [00:02:15] Speaker B: I woke up this morning at 330. [00:02:19] Speaker A: I got out of bed at around 04:00 in the morning. [00:02:25] Speaker B: And I was. [00:02:25] Speaker A: Checking things online as I was trying to wake up, and then it was. [00:02:30] Speaker B: Time to go to a meeting and. [00:02:33] Speaker A: Oh man, what a day. [00:02:35] Speaker B: And I was dragging and then I. [00:02:39] Speaker A: Had a doctor's appointment this afternoon. I figured, well, okay, I'll get that over with. [00:02:43] Speaker B: Maybe I can go home and take a nap. No such luck. [00:02:51] Speaker A: I mean, this daylight savings time is for the birds. I mean, it really is.

[00:14:15] Speaker A: I was on the other night and I contacted a repeater that's about 30 to 35 miles away. Everybody was picking me up, clearly. And I was talking to all kinds of people. And this is like 11:00 at night. [00:14:28] Speaker B: And it was busy. [00:14:30] Speaker A: It really was. And somebody was in Richmond, Indiana, and. [00:14:34] Speaker B: They could still pick me up there out of that repeater in Dayton, Ohio. [00:14:39] Speaker A: Fantastic. It's a good hobby. It's good to communicate if the hooey hits the fan, if you know what I mean. The GMRS radios with a nagoya antenna. [00:14:52] Speaker B: That'S the bomb. [00:14:55] Speaker A: I can't say that it's a good antenna. Let's put it that way. It's an agoya seven seven one G. [00:15:05] Speaker B: And you couple that with the antenna for ocean radios. I've got one here. Matter of fact, I have two. I have one with the ocean antenna. [00:15:17] Speaker A: Which is a smaller antenna. And then I have this 15 and a half inch antenna from Nagoya. And I'll tell you what, they are fantastic antennas. [00:15:27] Speaker B: And I can get onto a repeater. [00:15:30] Speaker A: And I can talk as far away. [00:15:32] Speaker B: As 75 to 85 miles from where I'm at. They're good to have, especially when phones don't work. The Internet might be down, and you.

My world live laugh and whatever. Okay. [00:18:57] Speaker A: And we're on Facebook, and I do postings, and I think I said, I. [00:19:02] Speaker B: Had one where Cassie, she's another YouTuber. [00:19:10] Speaker A: That I like to follow because they kind of do things the old way, and they were talking about had enough. And her husband, who doesn't really say. [00:19:19] Speaker B: That much, speaks out. [00:19:22] Speaker A: He reached a boiling point. And it was an interesting discussion. And so you need to listen to that. Also. Patara had one this week. The real state of our chaos. [00:19:34] Speaker B: You have to listen to that one, too. [00:19:38] Speaker A: Then she had another one posted a little bit earlier than that. Americans are in massive danger. [00:19:45] Speaker B: She wouldn't be posting it if it wasn't true. [00:19:50] Speaker A: She's that factual? She is. Very good. Another one. Food supply under attack. [00:19:56] Speaker B: Something about the total solar eclipse, especially. [00:20:00] Speaker A: If you're in Indiana. We're going to talk about the eclipse today. So you want to check us out on the trim radio network at our page on Facebook? [00:20:11] Speaker B: Okay. Now what's going a. It's a public service announcement. [00:20:19] Speaker A: I just saw it today and I thought I would just tell everybody about it because. [00:20:26] Speaker B: You don't want to get this stuff again. There was an article that was posted and the Daily Mail over in England posted this. [00:20:40] Speaker A: And it's major measles outbreak reported in us. [00:20:45] Speaker C: That's us. [00:20:47] Speaker A: As migrant shelters become infectious disease breeding grounds. And the article said the radical progressives in the administration are responsible for the greatest migration invasion this nation has ever seen. But also an emerging public health crisis as millions of unvaccinated, undocumented people, I'll just say illegals, some with infectious diseases, are being piled into migrant shelters nationwide like cattle, according to the Daily Mail. If I were you, remember when we. [00:21:31] Speaker B: Had our problem with the jab, the woohoo flu bug? [00:21:37] Speaker A: And remember we always washed our hands and we used hand know when we needed to, we watched our distance around people. We may have to be doing that again. And I believe Patara was talking a. [00:21:55] Speaker B: Little bit about that. [00:21:58] Speaker A: And especially people down in the southern. [00:22:01] Speaker B: States and then wherever they're taking the migrants to. Okay. [00:22:10] Speaker A: There was a case of measles in Cincinnati, Ohio that came in through the airport. And I don't know how many people had potential infection of measles at that point. They were keeping that hush hush until it got out. [00:22:23] Speaker B: That was kind of scary. Okay. [00:22:26] Speaker A: You got to check into it. [00:22:28] Speaker B: Another thing on the web I was. [00:22:32] Speaker A: Getting Fox News, they put something up there. California mom alleged ringleader behind $8 million retail theft ring that hit over 200. [00:22:47] Speaker B: Ultra stores and others. [00:22:52] Speaker A: And the article said, a California mom is accused of orchestrating a nationwide shoplifting scheme that stole millions of dollars worth of makeup and clothing from hundreds of stores for more than a decade, according to the California Department of Justice and according to a complaint filed by the California attorney general's office, that was Rob Bonta. [00:23:16] Speaker B: B o n t A. [00:23:17] Speaker A: More than $300,000 worth of makeup and. [00:23:22] Speaker B: Other products were taken by Michelle Mack, 53, and Kenneth Max shared, what was it? [00:23:32] Speaker C: Bonsel? [00:23:34] Speaker B: But anyhow, can you imagine that the. [00:23:38] Speaker A: Scams are out there, the scammers are there. Believe me. If you're not getting pickpocketed when you go to a store or you're not getting scammed out of something on the Internet. I had an instance today. [00:23:54] Speaker B: That all of a sudden I was looking at. [00:23:58] Speaker A: Something on Facebook and I had a big surprise. [00:24:04] Speaker B: It said, oh, your computer has been locked up. [00:24:07] Speaker A: And yada yada, yada. It looks very official. I shut the computer down right away and I thought, oh boy, it's really going to cause a mess. Whatever it is could be a bug. And I went ahead and did Iobit malware. That's iobit.com. [00:24:24] Speaker B: I used their malware and detector and. [00:24:31] Speaker A: They went through and scanned it. I didn't have any malware. And then I went to use my avast. And then I finally used Windows Defender. I went through the whole spectrum with all three of them and luckily the computer wasn't infected. [00:24:47] Speaker B: I was really sweating that one and. [00:24:50] Speaker A: All I was doing is looking at something that was posted on Facebook. [00:24:54] Speaker B: So hey, word to the wise, watch. [00:24:57] Speaker A: What you're doing when you're checking things out on Facebook. There could be a bug in there. [00:25:03] Speaker B: Somebody could hack your computer. [00:25:06] Speaker A: Now I don't know if anybody hacked. [00:25:08] Speaker B: Mine, but I'll tell you what, I. [00:25:11] Speaker A: Got kind of very cautious and worried about it. Hopefully nothing happens. I talked about daylight savings time. Has it really affected you? [00:25:24] Speaker B: I know it's affected me. [00:25:27] Speaker A: And like I said, I wake up early in the morning 330 or get. [00:25:31] Speaker B: Out of bed around 04:00 and I'm having a heck of a time, and. [00:25:36] Speaker A: It'Ll be like this for two weeks. [00:25:38] Speaker B: It always happens every year because it happens. You change your rhythm. [00:25:46] Speaker A: I think it's circadian rhythm or your sleep rhythm, your biorhythm. You change it, it gets disrupted for a couple of weeks. And I believe there was a lawmaker that was out there. He was trying to introduce a law. I don't know. He was senator, or else he was. [00:26:03] Speaker B: A representative, to not do daylight savings time. [00:26:12] Speaker A: Just put everything on, everybody on the. [00:26:14] Speaker B: Same time and leave it that way. [00:26:20] Speaker A: Why change things? The only thing it does, it lengthens the time that you're going to be buying things in the store. And it also provides time for daylight for golfers. I know some golfers, they play indoor golf during the wintertime, and then as. [00:26:40] Speaker B: The spring gets warm enough, then they. [00:26:44] Speaker A: Go out and they play golf. And some of them that I know. [00:26:47] Speaker B: Play Mondays and Wednesdays and Fridays because the rates are lower and the weekends, forget it. The rates are up there and they're members of a golf club, and they. [00:27:03] Speaker A: Just don't like to pay the high rates. [00:27:05] Speaker B: I wouldn't want to pay them either. Golf is expensive. It isn't cheap. They say it's good exercise. [00:27:12] Speaker A: And the way I would play golf, I'd be chasing balls all over the place. I mean, I would probably have to. [00:27:18] Speaker B: Have scuba gear to put on because. [00:27:21] Speaker A: I probably hit enough balls into the ponds. [00:27:24] Speaker B: Of course, if you want to make some money. [00:27:27] Speaker A: I knew some people in college that. [00:27:29] Speaker B: Would go out and snorkel and dive. [00:27:33] Speaker A: Into the ponds at the golf course and collect balls. [00:27:38] Speaker B: They would take them and wash them. [00:27:40] Speaker A: And they would resell them. [00:27:42] Speaker B: They made very decent money at it. But I don't think they'd want to. [00:27:47] Speaker A: Do that in Florida because alligators like the ponds there. [00:27:53] Speaker B: Well, we know that the clocks have. [00:27:57] Speaker A: Already changed because it was this last Saturday evening, and I had to go around and change all of my clocks, and I had to change the clocks in the car. [00:28:09] Speaker B: That was easy. [00:28:09] Speaker A: Press a couple of buttons, I'm done, no problem. But some of them, you have to get off the wall and rewind and do all that stuff. [00:28:20] Speaker B: Just leave it alone. Okay. It's a pain. It really is. [00:28:29] Speaker C: Now. [00:28:32] Speaker B: When is it going to end? That's the question. When is it going to end? I guess when they say it's going to end. [00:28:43] Speaker A: It'll probably be sometime in October or. [00:28:47] Speaker B: November is when they're going to end it. [00:28:51] Speaker A: It's not a fun time, guys. It really isn't. I don't know about you, but it just drives me nuts. [00:28:57] Speaker B: How about you? Are you having a problem with daylight savings time getting up an hour earlier? Yeah. [00:29:10] Speaker A: And if you're working and you have to get on the road and you're. [00:29:13] Speaker B: Driving to your destination an hour early and you're still not awake, I don't. [00:29:19] Speaker A: Know about you, but that would cause me all kinds of problems. [00:29:25] Speaker B: It really would. [00:29:28] Speaker A: There was an article in Fox News. This couple lost their home after police seized their cash. [00:29:36] Speaker B: A jury awarded them $1 million and. [00:29:40] Speaker A: Jurors awarded an Alabama couple $1 million after deputies took thousands of dollars from them in a warrantless raid that left. [00:29:53] Speaker B: Them broke and living in a shed. [00:29:57] Speaker A: A deputy from the Randolph County Sheriff's Office in January of 2018 showed up at Gregory and Teresa Alman's home in Woodland, Alabama, to serve Greg with the civil papers, according to Reason magazine. [00:30:18] Speaker B: And the deputy left but reported smelling marijuana. [00:30:25] Speaker A: Hours later, a drug task force broke down the door and threw a flash grenade that detonated at Greg's feet and started ransacking the couple's home. And he said, I'm confused. I feel violated. I'm thinking the people who are supposed to serve and protect you're basically just. [00:30:50] Speaker B: Threw a bomb in my lap. [00:30:53] Speaker A: And that's what he said in an article in 2019. [00:30:59] Speaker B: They just went in and took his money on suspicion of marijuana. Was there any? They didn't find any. [00:31:13] Speaker C: But they took the money. Is that right? No. [00:31:20] Speaker A: Somebody asked me, they said, well, what do you think about law? And I said, it's like this. If you do something illegal and you. [00:31:27] Speaker C: Get caught, you get the punishment. [00:31:32] Speaker A: The law has to be written down and it has to be followed. [00:31:35] Speaker B: If you don't follow it, well, then. [00:31:38] Speaker A: You must be a liberal and think. [00:31:39] Speaker B: That you're above the law that gets. [00:31:44] Speaker A: You into trouble too many times. There was another thing on Fox News. [00:31:50] Speaker B: That four people caught running large scale. [00:31:53] Speaker A: Marriage scam to get green cards for 600 migrants, according to the Department of Justice. And I found this for Fox News and it said four individuals have been charged in Massachusetts after running a large scale marriage fraud agency marketed to illegal immigrants or migrants, according to authorities. According to a press release from the US attorney's office, District of Massachusetts, four philippine nationals in Los Angeles were arrested for marriage fraud and immigration document fraud after they created hundreds of sham marriages between illegal migrants. [00:32:41] Speaker B: Wow. [00:32:44] Speaker A: Now I'll tell you what the scam, marriages and adjustment of the guy's clients. [00:32:54] Speaker B: Biola Benitez, I guess he operated the agency the immigration status cost between $20,000. [00:33:06] Speaker A: And $35,000 in cash. [00:33:10] Speaker B: Can you imagine that? And they get scammed, I imagine with all the illegal migrants coming into the. [00:33:23] Speaker A: Country and they don't have papers. I'll tell you what, I have a feeling a lot of scamming is going. [00:33:29] Speaker B: To be going on. I really do. And if they get caught, I think. [00:33:38] Speaker A: It'S out the door. [00:33:38] Speaker B: They go. [00:33:39] Speaker A: And I would not have any hesitation for that. [00:33:41] Speaker B: You have to be legal. There are rules. [00:33:45] Speaker A: If they would do that in Austria. [00:33:47] Speaker B: They'D be thrown in prison and then. [00:33:51] Speaker A: They would have a quick trial and deported. In some countries, they would put you in a prison for quite a while. [00:34:00] Speaker C: Wow, it's scary. [00:34:04] Speaker B: It really is. [00:34:06] Speaker A: We were going to talk about the. [00:34:08] Speaker B: Eclipse that's coming up, the big eclipse. [00:34:11] Speaker A: When is it? It's on April eigth. Now, I don't know about you, but it comes up, sweeps up through Dallas, Texas, curves up into Indiana, around Connorsville, Indiana, and then comes into Ohio. And it basically goes up through a. [00:34:31] Speaker B: Town called Wapa Canetta. Around here we just call it wapak. [00:34:36] Speaker A: But it goes up through that way and on up through the state of. [00:34:40] Speaker B: Ohio and then up into Canada. Have you ever been in an eclipse? I was in an eclipse years ago. [00:34:52] Speaker A: And I believe that was back in. [00:34:54] Speaker B: 1993. [00:34:57] Speaker A: 94, 95 in that range. And I was in Cincinnati at the time. [00:35:02] Speaker B: We were coming back from lunch at. [00:35:05] Speaker A: Our favorite restaurant, and. [00:35:10] Speaker B: My boss and. [00:35:11] Speaker A: I, we were coming back and we noticed some weird things happening. You would see a tree with the leaves on it, and all of a sudden you'd have different shades around that. [00:35:25] Speaker B: Leaf and it would be like a. [00:35:27] Speaker A: Gray outline or whatever, and everything looked weird. Everything that day was weird. It really was. Things were just going crazy. And we made it back to the office and we were just on the. [00:35:42] Speaker B: Edge of the eclipse. It didn't go totally dark. Matter of fact, it barely went dark at all. But everything went wonkers. [00:35:55] Speaker C: Crazy things happening. [00:35:58] Speaker A: I mean, the phones didn't work. We had problems with the computer systems. [00:36:08] Speaker B: Even the vending machines. [00:36:09] Speaker A: We had little problems with the vending machines. [00:36:12] Speaker B: It's kind of crazy. Well, the time for the eclipse happens Monday, April eigth. [00:36:19] Speaker A: And depending on where you are, you can view the eclipse beginning anywhere from. [00:36:25] Speaker B: Around noon, which would be the southern part of Texas, to around 04:00 p.m. Noon to 04:00 p.m., now, when and. [00:36:44] Speaker A: Where is the eclipse? Everybody's asking that. Well, the next solar eclipse is in 2024. And then after that, I think we have to wait 200 years for it to happen again. Or according to a report, there won't be another Us eclipse spanning coast to coast until 2045. I don't think we'll be around at that time. [00:37:08] Speaker C: At least I won't. [00:37:12] Speaker B: But you can see what's going to happen now. [00:37:16] Speaker A: What states are going to see the eclipse. [00:37:19] Speaker B: You're going to have Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, or as they say, New Hampshire and Maine. [00:37:39] Speaker A: Maybe I got that accent wrong, I don't know. But those are the states that are. [00:37:43] Speaker B: Going to see. [00:37:46] Speaker A: You know, why is it so special? Because the moon lies a little closer to the earth during totality. [00:37:55] Speaker B: When it gets totally dark, as compared. [00:37:59] Speaker A: To totality in 2017, it'll appear just a bit larger in the sky. The moon will actually be a little. [00:38:06] Speaker B: Bit bigger in the sky. [00:38:08] Speaker A: And that means it's going to take the moon a bit longer to move. [00:38:12] Speaker B: In its orbit across the face of the sun. [00:38:17] Speaker A: So the moon is closest to the. [00:38:19] Speaker B: Earth, it blocks out the sun, and you have an eclipse. [00:38:24] Speaker A: And if you do reading from way. [00:38:27] Speaker B: Back when, you have people that were ignorant about an eclipse, they really didn't know what caused it. [00:38:39] Speaker A: And they might be saying, oh, the witch doctor has his power over his. [00:38:44] Speaker B: People, and just watch, I'm going to. [00:38:47] Speaker A: Put a curse on you. And he probably knew that they were going to have an eclipse because they probably had a calendar somewhere. [00:38:56] Speaker B: I don't know what type of calendar, but they had documentation someplace where they. [00:39:05] Speaker A: Knew that there was going to be an eclipse. [00:39:07] Speaker C: And he put the spell on them. [00:39:10] Speaker A: And he said, I'll take it away if you behave. So they all promised to behave. [00:39:14] Speaker B: And sure enough, the moon passes by. [00:39:18] Speaker A: The sun comes out again. [00:39:20] Speaker C: Aha. [00:39:22] Speaker A: He now has a lot of power. [00:39:23] Speaker B: Because knowledge is power. [00:39:26] Speaker A: That's what they always. [00:39:30] Speaker B: You know, that can go on. [00:39:32] Speaker A: You can have people in India that would all gather and they knew that there was going to be an eclipse because the shaman said there was going to be an eclipse, and they would all go out and they would watch the eclipse and the ooh, and the. [00:39:45] Speaker C: Awe. [00:39:48] Speaker B: And here comes the moon passes. [00:39:51] Speaker C: Between earth and the sun. [00:39:54] Speaker B: You have the eclipse. [00:39:58] Speaker A: They didn't know specifically what was causing the eclipse. They thought it could have been a curse or blessing or whatever. [00:40:07] Speaker B: And it's scary if you don't know what it is. [00:40:11] Speaker A: It's an occurrence. [00:40:12] Speaker B: You get along with it. But what happens to animals? [00:40:21] Speaker A: What happens during a total eclipse? It's strange. I mean, people just don't see it every year. [00:40:32] Speaker B: It doesn't come over your house every year. [00:40:36] Speaker A: I guess where I live, it's supposed. [00:40:37] Speaker B: To come close to where I live, and that's fine. [00:40:43] Speaker A: People were warning everybody, oh, stock up on food, stock up on water if you need imbibment with alcohol, stock up. [00:40:55] Speaker B: On that, because everybody's going to be. [00:40:59] Speaker A: Coming along I 75 and I 70 in Ohio, and they're going to be parking along I 75 and watching the event. [00:41:09] Speaker B: They're all going to be going to. [00:41:10] Speaker A: The towns along that route, and they're. [00:41:13] Speaker B: Going to be going into Walmart, Kroger's. [00:41:18] Speaker A: Aldi's, wherever, and getting whatever they need. Now, where I live, the hotels are. [00:41:26] Speaker B: Now booked by people coming in from out of the country. [00:41:33] Speaker A: They're not illegal migrants or anything like that. [00:41:35] Speaker B: They're paying visitors with passports, as far as I know. [00:41:41] Speaker A: And so the motels and hotels are. [00:41:45] Speaker C: Booked. [00:41:48] Speaker A: And it's getting that way all the way up and down I 75. [00:41:52] Speaker B: In Ohio, and I imagine a portion. [00:41:57] Speaker A: Of I 70 going through the middle. [00:41:59] Speaker B: Part of Ohio will have that happen. [00:42:03] Speaker A: But towns and cities are basically saying, well, we're going to have a concert the night before. We're going to do this, that, and the other, I think in the town where I live, somebody came up to the city commission meeting and they said, oh, we're going to have one of. [00:42:22] Speaker B: The guys put inflatable aliens in his. [00:42:27] Speaker A: Window of his business. [00:42:31] Speaker B: What does that have to do with an eclipse? [00:42:38] Speaker A: And then we're going to hand out these little green men to people to. [00:42:41] Speaker B: Come in to visit the town. [00:42:45] Speaker C: What does that do? [00:42:47] Speaker A: Oh, the businesses are going to have all kinds of stuff going on downtown. [00:42:51] Speaker B: Okay, that's fine. Are you going to have a concert or something? [00:42:55] Speaker A: No. [00:42:57] Speaker B: Other towns thought ahead and boy, they. [00:42:59] Speaker A: Had some really good stuff going on, but all we have is little green men. Sometimes I wonder where the intelligence level is. [00:43:13] Speaker B: Makes you wonder. It seems like this is almost like. [00:43:16] Speaker A: Wrinkle City in a way. Check it out. Just type in wrinklecity, wrinklecity.com. [00:43:27] Speaker B: Check it out. You'll have a fun time reading it. [00:43:30] Speaker A: And I don't think that there's an. [00:43:32] Speaker B: Eclipse version of that. [00:43:40] Speaker C: But I was. [00:43:40] Speaker A: Talking to somebody and they said, well. [00:43:42] Speaker B: There was a town in Kentucky that. [00:43:45] Speaker A: Had an eclipse go through it, and a lot of people came in and the grocery store shelves were bare. So basically there was no food. All the drinks were sold out, the carryouts were sold out, and they were going through a whole bunch of things. [00:44:05] Speaker C: That were sold out. [00:44:08] Speaker B: And they said, you know how long it took to restock that town, the. [00:44:14] Speaker A: Grocery stores and carryouts and everything? I said, well, it probably took a few days. They said, well, on a normal day. [00:44:22] Speaker B: Walmart gets refreshed every three days. [00:44:28] Speaker A: So if something happens and the coolers don't work and they get them fixed, they can have fresh fruits and vegetables brought in and they can have everything stocked up in basically in three days. But what happens if you have a multitude of stores? Can the suppliers restock everything? Think of the hot dogs that are going to be cooked out. Think of cold meat for the sandwiches. Think of the bread. Think of the potato chips. [00:45:03] Speaker B: Think of the coleslaw, the macaroni sauce, you name it. Are they going to have it? Think of the pizza shops. They're going to be busy, too. [00:45:14] Speaker A: I don't know if they would deliver pizza on the interstate, but they probably could. [00:45:21] Speaker B: But all this is coming down, and. [00:45:24] Speaker A: This one town of Kentucky just went nuts. I mean, they had to wait, I. [00:45:28] Speaker B: Think, a week, a week and a half for food, water, bottled water, pop or soda, as they say in the east. So people are saying, well, we just have to prepare. [00:45:47] Speaker A: And that's true. You have to prepare. You better be prepared for probably a week. [00:45:54] Speaker B: My guesstimation, it's only a guesstimation, I'm guessing at it. [00:46:00] Speaker A: A swag, scientific guess, if you know what I mean. If you know what swag means. [00:46:07] Speaker C: But be prepared for it. [00:46:11] Speaker A: Some reports were saying we might have Internet disturbances. We might have problems with our TV and radios. We might have problems with other things. That's why I say GMRS radio. [00:46:26] Speaker B: Hey, if you have one, you can. [00:46:29] Speaker A: Be communicating to other people around. The ham radio operators will be able to do that. [00:46:34] Speaker B: I know some hams, and they're going to be out running a type of a net, and that's great. [00:46:44] Speaker A: And some of them have GMRS radios, and they'll be using those also. But I'll tell you what, that's coming up. And so my thing is, guys, be. [00:46:57] Speaker B: Prepared as much as you can, because. [00:47:00] Speaker A: If you're not prepared and suddenly, oh, I need my medication. Oh, gee whiz, they closed the grocery store for the eclipse. [00:47:10] Speaker B: You mean I can't get my meds? Gee, I'm out of toilet paper. Hey, the store is closed for the. [00:47:23] Speaker A: Big eclipse, and everybody's out wearing their special sunglasses. I was in a store today and I was having lunch and I was leaving and I was talking to the cashier and I said, what are these. [00:47:37] Speaker B: Things over in this container, and they. [00:47:40] Speaker A: Said, oh, those are the paper glasses. [00:47:44] Speaker B: That you have to wear. [00:47:47] Speaker A: Special sunglasses. [00:47:48] Speaker B: So you can see the eclipse. [00:47:51] Speaker A: Okay. [00:47:53] Speaker B: I could just watch it on TV, couldn't it? Couldn't I? [00:47:57] Speaker A: Or I could go outside with really good sunglasses. Or I could take a box and put a hole in one end of the box, point it towards the eclipse. [00:48:06] Speaker B: And look into the box and watch it project itself on the box. [00:48:12] Speaker A: And you don't have to look into the sun. A lot of ways to protect your eyes. And somebody did today, they were saying, oh, somebody said to go out and. [00:48:24] Speaker B: Look at the sun for, I think it was 20 minutes a day, and. [00:48:31] Speaker A: Your eyes will get better. I'm like, yeah, right. [00:48:34] Speaker B: I don't think so. I don't want to burn out my. [00:48:39] Speaker A: Retinas because I was looking at an eclipse or I'm looking at the sun every day for 20 minutes for a month. [00:48:49] Speaker B: I don't think so. [00:48:51] Speaker A: So be prepared, guys. You have to be prepared, because if. [00:48:56] Speaker B: Not, you're going to run into problems, and then you're going to say, I. [00:49:00] Speaker A: Wished I could have. And, you know, on money and change, we talk about preparedness. We do a little bit on this. [00:49:06] Speaker B: Show, too. [00:49:09] Speaker A: About being prepared for any type of a disaster. [00:49:15] Speaker B: Do you have a good first aid kit? Do you have plenty of water stored up? [00:49:24] Speaker A: Do you have proper shelter in case of something not happening? How about electricity? Do you have plain flashlight batteries? [00:49:34] Speaker B: Do you have a generator? How about solar panels? [00:49:38] Speaker A: They won't work during an eclipse, but after the eclipse. [00:49:43] Speaker C: They will work. [00:49:47] Speaker A: You have to think of all kinds of things. What can go wrong during an eclipse? I haven't seen any witch doctors setting. [00:49:56] Speaker B: Up, going to put a spell on people. I don't think that's going to happen. [00:50:02] Speaker A: But some crazy things that are going to happen, according to Accuweather. [00:50:11] Speaker B: You'Re going. [00:50:12] Speaker A: To see a 300 and 6360 degrees sunrise and sunset. So no matter where you look around. [00:50:21] Speaker B: You'Re going to see a sunrise sunset area. [00:50:27] Speaker A: You'll be focused on the sky, and. [00:50:28] Speaker B: You look around, you can see a. [00:50:31] Speaker A: Scene that not many have experienced, according to Accuweather, and spectators who look at the horizon during totality, that's when everything gets dark, will witness the colors of sunrise and sunset around them in every direction. You might even want to take your cameras and take a picture of it. And this 360 degree sunset, according to Accuweather, is an effect caused by the light from the sun in areas outside of the path of totality. When it gets dark and only lasting as long as the sun is completely. [00:51:13] Speaker B: Blocked by the moon. [00:51:19] Speaker A: Now, what about stars and planets? As the moon causes day to turn into night, the darkness will reveal the stars in the sky as well as a few planets. And people shouldn't waste too much time looking for the planets and constellations, since these can be seen at night during different parts of the year. However, the eclipse will make it easy. [00:51:44] Speaker B: To spot Venus and Jupiter, which will. [00:51:47] Speaker A: Be a similar area of the sky. [00:51:52] Speaker B: In the sun on April eigth. [00:51:55] Speaker A: Okay, so you can see some of. [00:51:57] Speaker B: That going on, and a few lucky spectators may even see or may be. [00:52:04] Speaker A: Fortunate enough, I mean really fortunate enough, to see a meteor streak across the. [00:52:10] Speaker B: Sky during the brief period of darkness. Now, hopefully, there are no people streaking during that time. [00:52:19] Speaker A: Weird things happen. Have you ever heard of a shadow snake? Well, one of the rare phenomenons to look for, according to the report, is a shadow band. And shadow bands are thin, wavy lines. [00:52:35] Speaker B: Of alternate light and dark that can. [00:52:38] Speaker A: Be seen moving around, undulating in parallel on plain colored surfaces immediately before and after a total solar eclipse. Now, how about a drop in temperature? Well, according to AccuWeather, they're saying not only will the eclipse cause the environment. [00:53:01] Speaker B: To appear different, but it will also. [00:53:04] Speaker A: Feel different when the sunlight fades. At twilight, we always notice how things. [00:53:10] Speaker B: Start to cool down. And the same is true for temporary. [00:53:15] Speaker A: Dimming during the total eclipse. [00:53:18] Speaker B: That was according to NASA. Now, depending on factors such as the. [00:53:25] Speaker A: Time of year, the cloud cover, and the length of totality, the air temperature can drop more than 20 degrees Fahrenheit during a solar eclipse. [00:53:37] Speaker B: Now, in 1834, I wasn't around then. [00:53:41] Speaker A: The air temperature in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, reportedly dropped by 28 degrees Fahrenheit. And astronomers aren't expecting the temperature to drop as much in April compared to the 2017 eclipse, which took place in the summer. But people may still feel the temperature. [00:54:05] Speaker B: Drop during and immediately following the celestial event. [00:54:11] Speaker A: Okay, what about animals? [00:54:14] Speaker B: Do you have dogs and cats? Watch to see how they act. [00:54:19] Speaker A: How about birds? [00:54:21] Speaker B: How about farm animals? [00:54:23] Speaker A: Well, according to AccuWeather, the sudden darkness during the middle of the day can. [00:54:28] Speaker B: Play a trick on animals. [00:54:31] Speaker A: And depending on what types of creatures and critters they are, onlookers may be able to see the strange animal behavior for themselves. In a study conducted after the 2017 great american eclipse, researchers at Cornell University and the University of Oxford found that. [00:54:53] Speaker B: Birds had become confused in the moments. [00:54:58] Speaker A: Just before the totality due to the change in sunlight. And chickens may think that the eclipse is the sudden onset of night, they might look for a place to roost. Birds might get into the trees and be totally quiet. [00:55:15] Speaker B: It just might get very quiet. [00:55:19] Speaker A: Crickets could be chirping, but it depends. [00:55:21] Speaker B: On the weather that's out there. And we don't know what the weather is going to be, but strange things are going to happen. Animals are going to get confused. [00:55:33] Speaker A: Did you ever notice in an earthquake, just prior to an earthquake, even a. [00:55:38] Speaker C: Slight one, it gets real quiet. The birds don't chirp. [00:55:47] Speaker A: You don't see a lot of animals. [00:55:48] Speaker B: Around and they'll be up in the trees. [00:55:52] Speaker A: I've been through a couple of earthquakes. [00:55:55] Speaker B: And they were small ones. [00:55:59] Speaker A: And I remember just before the earthquake, it got real quiet. I mean, super quiet. [00:56:04] Speaker B: We didn't feel a thing. [00:56:08] Speaker A: You couldn't find any squirrels. They were up in their nests up. [00:56:11] Speaker B: In the tree, and we had a. [00:56:13] Speaker A: Big tree behind the house and the birds were in the bushes and so forth. Nobody was making a sound. And then all of a sudden, I noticed the salt and pepper shakers dance. [00:56:23] Speaker C: Across the dining room table. [00:56:27] Speaker B: And I'm like, what the heck is going on here? And I felt this rumble. [00:56:32] Speaker A: And it turned out that the rumble. [00:56:35] Speaker B: Was in a town called Anna, Ohio. And Anna is on a fault line. [00:56:42] Speaker A: Which basically runs close to the Miami river. And where I was at was within about 600ft of the Miami river. It was interesting to go through, but animals react differently. Well, how are you going to react? [00:57:04] Speaker B: Are you going to be prepared? [00:57:07] Speaker A: Are you going to get your lawn chair out? [00:57:09] Speaker B: What happens if it's not sunny? It'll get dark, but you won't be. [00:57:16] Speaker A: Able to see anything in the clouds. [00:57:17] Speaker B: Except the darkness when it comes over. [00:57:21] Speaker A: A lot of things to look at. [00:57:23] Speaker B: Guys, and it'll be an interesting experience for everybody. [00:57:29] Speaker A: Tell the kids about what's going to happen. Just go about your normal day. Make sure that you're prepped up on your food and water and so forth. Have a good time. A lot of businesses will close for this event. There'll be a lot of traffic and. [00:57:47] Speaker B: Congestion, not convention, but there'll be a lot of people, I'll put it that way. [00:57:56] Speaker A: And also watch your valuables, because people will take advantage of other people, too. [00:58:02] Speaker B: That's a given out there. [00:58:03] Speaker A: Well, anyhow, guys, that's all I've got. [00:58:08] Speaker B: And have a good week. [00:58:12] Speaker A: Catch up on your sleep if you can. Don't be an insomniac like I am, probably for two weeks. [00:58:21] Speaker B: That's going to be fun. But anyhow, guys, you have a good one. [00:58:24] Speaker A: We're going to talk to you next Wednesday. But remember, check out money and change. [00:58:29] Speaker B: This Sunday at 07:00 p.m. Have a good week and prepare and have fun. We'll talk to you later. [00:58:43] Speaker C: We, it's.
