[email protected]. Located in Findlay, Ohio.
They have three campuses. One is the equestrian campus. Then we have the main campus, and we have the hazard materials campus. And they're one of a few schools in the United States that do that.
So you want to check them out at www.findlay.edu. And I'll tell you what I think I'm going to see if I can't get the posting that they sent me on the eclipse.
They have a commons there in front of the school of business.
It's a fairly large area, and a lot of people were there on the lawn actually watching the eclipse.
All the students and faculty, they came out to watch the eclipse.
Did you watch the eclipse? What did you think of it? Didn't last that long, did it? Well, another big shout out to the rusty ducks custom pens and blanks. Check out Phil over at Rusty Ducks custom pens and blanks. And they're on facebook. And he does an excellent job making custom pens. I mean, custom.
Michael had one made up for one of his cars that he does. He was redoing or remodeling a car, if you want to call that rebuilding a car. And it was a very special car and had special paint job on it. And of course, Michael got a hold of Phil over at Rusty Ducks custom pens and blanks.
[00:08:06] Speaker B: And Phil made a pen form.
[00:08:11] Speaker A: And it's a good keepsake and something to pass down to your ears. If you have a company or if you have a school or a college or university or a business and you want to have an award pen that you can pass out to maybe your top donors or to benefactors of the university or college or your business clients, check out Phil. The prices are very reasonable. They're custom. They're on the cross pen platform. He does a fantastic job.
[00:08:45] Speaker B: And he's doing other things, too.
[00:08:49] Speaker A: He's getting ready for a trade show and he's making cooterry, I guess it's called Cooter reports. You know, where you put the meat and cheese and so forth.
Well, he's doing that and a bunch of other things. He's very talented, does an excellent job.
[00:09:05] Speaker B: So check him out.
[00:09:06] Speaker A: Rusty ducks custom pens and blanks. They're on Facebook, so you want to check them out.
A big shout out, of course, for money and change. Every Sunday, 07:00 p.m.
There will be some times where we will have replays of the show because I'm involved in a band. We have concerts, and I think we've got six concerts scheduled this year so far for the summer. And then we go into our fall concert and then our winter concert season.
[00:09:38] Speaker B: Keep kind of busy.
[00:09:39] Speaker A: But we try to do as many live programs as we can, so we keep the reruns down to a minimum.
Also my world live, laugh and whatever every Wednesday at 08:00 p.m.
I don't think we'll change that time.
And we're on from eight to nine every Wednesday. Also the deep south homestead with Danny and Wanda King. Check them out on YouTube. They're down in Wiggins, Mississippi. They just don't talk about farming, too. They talk about the economy and a lot of different things. Also, there's Brad and Krista with the big family homestead. Are they going to stay in Wisconsin or are they going to go to Iowa? That's the question. And they haven't popped out the secret yet. They haven't let everybody know what's going to happen.
They're probably making up their minds, but we'll wait and see.
[00:10:39] Speaker B: Also, big shout out to the southern.
[00:10:43] Speaker A: Prepper one, which is Dave Kobler. I've known Dave for about 15 years or more.
And Dave talks about boots on the ground and the economy.
[00:10:56] Speaker B: Yes, he's a prepper, but he walks.
[00:11:01] Speaker A: The walk and talks to talk, if you know what I mean.
[00:11:03] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:11:05] Speaker A: And then there's prepper nurse one with Ed Carswell. And we've got prepper Princess Amber Stork. She's out in California, and she is a self made millionaire.
Really, the technical term is million heiress.
[00:11:22] Speaker B: Okay, but she likes to say millionaire.
[00:11:25] Speaker A: And she's done this. And she's, I believe, around 40 years old.
She doesn't mind me giving out her age. At least that's what she's saying. Okay, and then we also have Appalachia's homestead with Patara.
And she's out in the Knoxville area in eastern Tennessee.
And she kind of has that eastern Tennessee twang, that accent.
But she's such a sweetheart, and she has a very good show. And she talks about current events, things going on at their farm. The prices, man, I'll tell you what, the prices are going up and up and up.
And we'll get into that when we talk about the eclipse.
I think that was a hype job. It really was. But anyhow, you want to check all those people out, because, hey, they have good shows on YouTube. They're worth listening to. They provide a lot of great information.
And some of the shows are only 20 minutes long, some are an hour long.
[00:12:36] Speaker B: But check them out.
[00:12:37] Speaker A: It's worthwhile. If it wasn't worthwhile, I wouldn't recommend them. And I forgot one. Lds prepper David Gilmore is out in.
[00:12:48] Speaker B: Idaho, and he got me hooked onto.
[00:12:53] Speaker A: A new thing, and you can probably see it here. Gmrs radio, dollar 35 for a license.
And with my setup right now, I can talk from my location to Dayton, Ohio, without any problems. 35 miles away on a repeater. And from there I can get down to almost Cincinnati. And I don't have the repeater numbers, but I've joined a group down there, and hopefully I will get that. But anyhow, GMRS radios, this is an ocean wou X U N 935 G, and it's great. It's not something you get at Wally World.
It happens to be a really good radio. There are a bunch of them out there, the blister packs at Wally World.
[00:13:45] Speaker B: Nah, trust me, when you start getting.
[00:13:49] Speaker A: Into these, you're going to pay a little bit more money, but you're going to get a lot more out of it.
Matter of fact, I've been talking every night, and our group gets online about.
[00:13:58] Speaker B: 11:00 at night because everybody's home from.
[00:14:02] Speaker A: Work and they just want to chat and so forth. We always have a good time on.
[00:14:06] Speaker B: That, so it's kind of a hobby with me.
[00:14:11] Speaker A: And tomorrow I'll be looking at another radio and we'll see what I can get on that. It's an all channel scanner. It's expensive.
[00:14:22] Speaker B: But, hey, once you get into this.
[00:14:26] Speaker A: You really get involved.
But that's a big shout out to everybody that we shout out to. I mean, they do a fantastic job with their shows, and I've got to give them a pat on the back. If I don't give them a pat on the back.
[00:14:43] Speaker B: They deserve it.
[00:14:44] Speaker A: Everybody deserves it. There was one guy that I was watching, and it was hobo shoestring.
And you're probably looking gone, my God, he's watching a hobo.
Yeah, the guy did videos and put them on the Internet, and they would be all probably about an hour long, and it would be on his hopping a train and going from one location to another. Sometimes he would go to Alaska, sometimes he would go to Florida or the east coast from Johnson City, Tennessee.
He was quite a character.
And he ended up missing in March, the last part of March, and they couldn't find him. He didn't take his medication with him or anything, but sadly, he passed away. He drowned in a lake.
And they don't know everything behind it, but hobo shoestring is no more. And at one time he ran for the king of the hobos. It's an interesting thing to check out.
So you look up hobo, hobo shoestring and look at that channel. It'll probably be on for a little bit longer on YouTube, but check it out. He was interesting to watch. And I know some other youtubers that.
[00:16:21] Speaker B: Have met him, and he's been at different places, including Deshler, Ohio.
[00:16:28] Speaker A: And you say, well, where's Deshler?
Well, it's about 20 miles west of Findlay, actually, northwest of Findlay. And a lot of trains come in there from north, south, east to west. And it's a junction, and it's interesting to watch. And there are a lot of good people, YouTube that actually watched that channel. And it's live and it's great. But anyhow my condolences to the Nichols family.
[00:16:59] Speaker B: It was, I believe it was Tim.
[00:17:02] Speaker A: Nichols was his name. Last name was Nichols. I know that, but I know him as hobo shoestring.
[00:17:08] Speaker B: So, you know, we're gonna miss him.
[00:17:11] Speaker A: He had some very interesting videos.
Well, another thing here as we go on, a lot of stuff happened this last week, all the hype.
[00:17:25] Speaker B: How much hype did you experience in your location?
[00:17:32] Speaker A: You know, everybody's saying, oh, the eclipse is coming. Oh, it's going to be fantastic. There going to be hundreds of thousands.
[00:17:40] Speaker B: Of people traveling to see a total eclipse.
[00:17:46] Speaker A: And they played it up for probably two weeks.
They played, I mean, they really played it up, especially through my area, arcing through Ohio and then going up into upper New York state because it was the total eclipse. You could actually experience a total blackout in the middle of the day, basically.
[00:18:10] Speaker B: Around 03:00 330, and then you could.
[00:18:14] Speaker A: See the sun almost disappear behind the moon.
It was so interesting to see.
[00:18:23] Speaker B: But I had seen other eclipses.
[00:18:28] Speaker A: I don't travel for eclipses. There were some people that were interviewed in Dayton, Ohio, with, I believe it was whio tv that they travel all over the world just to see an eclipse. And they came in from Greece.
Well, their english was pretty darn good.
[00:18:48] Speaker B: I'll tell you that.
[00:18:50] Speaker A: And they explained why they do this. It's just a hobby of theirs. And they were in Ohio to see the eclipse and then they were going.
[00:18:57] Speaker B: Someplace else, kind of following the eclipse.
[00:19:04] Speaker A: And all this hype.
And locally somebody told the merchants, oh, we're going to have a lot of people.
And they anticipated, oh, 100,000 people or more.
[00:19:21] Speaker B: It never happened.
[00:19:25] Speaker A: They hyped it up so much that.
[00:19:29] Speaker B: A lot of the stores stayed open longer.
[00:19:34] Speaker A: And in a city of about 22,000 people, the stores downtown basically close at.
[00:19:41] Speaker B: Five or 06:00 at night, but they.
[00:19:44] Speaker A: Were going to stay open for everything.
[00:19:46] Speaker B: And I thought, okay, I went outside.
[00:19:50] Speaker A: And I looked up and I saw the eclipse and I put on my glasses because, you know, the sun was kind of bright. And I watched the eclipse and I.
[00:20:01] Speaker B: Said, hey, what am I doing out here looking?
[00:20:04] Speaker A: Because I've seen eclipses before.
Not total, but I've seen eclipses before.
So I went back inside and I finished some work inside and some research that I was doing for money and change. And I thought, well, okay, we'll just get this research done and then I'll call up a friend, we'll go out to eat. And the traffic on the road wasn't bad. They didn't have throngs of people blocking the interstate or anything. Traffic was smooth. We left there. We came back on the interstate, which is I 75, and we traveled from the restaurant back up to where I live. And we went to the downtown area and looked around and all we saw were a couple of kids dressed in inflatable martian outfits.
Now, the city to the south of us had a concert and a lot of people downtown. And I'm looking around, where's all the people downtown here?
Not very many people.
And these little kids running around in inflatable martian outfits.
[00:21:21] Speaker B: So I don't know.
[00:21:24] Speaker A: It's different every place. Some people like to just sit outside and observe and chill out. Some people like to have a party and invite everybody over. Some people like to go downtown to the different shops and so forth.
It varies per community, but you take a look at what was done as far as.
[00:21:46] Speaker B: Oh, people making money.
[00:21:50] Speaker A: I'm not so sure they were.
[00:21:55] Speaker B: And.
[00:21:55] Speaker A: I forgot to hit a button.
[00:21:56] Speaker B: Oh, my God, I'm getting too new to this.
[00:22:01] Speaker A: But anyhow, for those guys that just came in, welcome to money and change.
[00:22:05] Speaker B: No, it isn't. It's my world.
[00:22:08] Speaker A: Money and change is going to be on Sunday. Well, anyhow, guys, getting back to everything.
[00:22:17] Speaker B: A lot of stuff was going on.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: And your location may be different than my location.
Some towns really partied it up and some people didn't for the big eclipse.
Some people said, magically things are going to happen, something magical is going to happen and so forth. And I'm thinking, well, what's going to happen during an eclipse?
I don't know what's going to happen during an eclipse, but I do know one thing before the eclipse. And let's see if I can do this.
I'll change my background here from the eclipse background to this.
They were spraying up in the clouds.
They were spraying.
What was in the spray? I don't know.
[00:23:12] Speaker B: All I know is I saw the.
[00:23:16] Speaker A: Contrails in the sky, and these had crisscrossed in a pattern that was like tic tac toe.
Just about an hour or two before the eclipse, and they were spraying the sky. Some people call these chemtrails.
I'd like to find out what's going on up there in the chemtrails.
Some people call them contrails.
[00:23:48] Speaker B: There's been pictures of people seeing these.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: Planes spray things out the backside of the plane or off the wings.
And everybody's outside, everybody's looking up, and these contrails are there. They're outside partying.
[00:24:05] Speaker B: And who knows?
[00:24:08] Speaker A: Maybe they were breathing in some of the stuff from the contrails.
[00:24:11] Speaker B: I don't know, but that's what was happening.
[00:24:15] Speaker A: And then you take a look at the eclipse, and it was cloudy. Everything was lightly clouded for some weird reason. And the eclipse happened, of course. Everybody's sitting outside going, ooh, oh, this is really neat.
And you won't see it for another hundred years.
I don't think I'll be around that long.
Who knows? I mean, you never. Never can say never, but anyhow, this is going on.
[00:24:51] Speaker B: And then today.
[00:24:55] Speaker A: I started getting the sniffles.
You know, the sinuses mess with you and your eyes start to burn. And I was outside just a little bit. I mean, we're talking minutes.
And I came back in and turned.
[00:25:10] Speaker B: My air purifier on and basically stayed inside.
[00:25:16] Speaker A: I didn't want to go outside because of particulates in the air. And you get pollen and everything else.
Gee whiz, we got problems, you know.
[00:25:30] Speaker B: So what do you do?
[00:25:35] Speaker A: But what did you do during the eclipse?
I think during the eclipse or just after the eclipse? I posted a few things on our Facebook page.
And some of the things I posted, I also did it on money and change.
There were videos on the pepper pantry.
[00:25:56] Speaker B: Prepper pantry.
Okay.
[00:26:00] Speaker A: P a n t r y. Hygiene and sanitation. What happens if an eclipse causes a problem and you have to get clean? And they always say it's always wise after an eclipse. Somebody was stating in one of the things I was reading that you should always go in and take a shower afterwards.
It brings good luck. You get rid of all the cooties and stuff from the eclipse. If you believe it, that's fine.
I don't. But anyhow, they were, they were pressing this point across.
I also posted, are you prepared? And it was from Glenn Beck.
You can go to the Facebook page.
[00:26:48] Speaker B: Which is my world life or live.
[00:26:53] Speaker A: Laugh and whatever, or you can go to money and change and check that out because those videos are there and they're there for a purpose. Because what happens if something would have happened during the eclipse, then you would have known things that you should have.
[00:27:09] Speaker B: Done to begin with.
[00:27:12] Speaker A: And did I mention that we're on X, better known as Twitter? Yeah, we've been doing that, and it's been showing up right after the show. And what I will do is I will go ahead and click, click on.
[00:27:25] Speaker B: The show and watch the show and.
[00:27:29] Speaker A: Find out what button I didn't hit right.
[00:27:31] Speaker B: I'm still learning.
[00:27:34] Speaker A: I know. I'm a slow learner, right?
[00:27:36] Speaker B: Yeah, I am.
[00:27:38] Speaker A: So anyhow, check out our Facebook page because we put a lot of information there. And I also put something up. The pictures on the chem trails, I.
[00:27:49] Speaker B: Didn'T take them, somebody else did.
[00:27:53] Speaker A: But they were around and it's like, what are we gonna, what are we gonna do?
[00:27:59] Speaker B: Some days are perfectly blue and all of a sudden they start spraying out of nowhere.
[00:28:11] Speaker A: What are we going to ingest in?
What are we gonna breathe in?
Do we need to start taking ivermectin or some crazy thing?
[00:28:21] Speaker B: I mean, I don't know.
[00:28:23] Speaker A: I take my vitamins. I take my vitamin d three.
I take 6000 units a day.
For me personally, I don't get out in the sun that much. And when I do, I usually burn.
So I have to watch, you know, what I'm doing. But I do like to go out and sit outside once in a while.
But during the eclipse I said, no, I'm going to, I'll observe a little bit and I'll go in and I'll stay inside because there's no need. I don't know what they're spraying in the air anyhow. And so that was a problem.
Now some people wonder, can a total eclipse cause problems? And there was an article, Fox News, can a total solar eclipse make you sick?
And experts weigh in on the eclipse sickness.
I don't know if it would make anybody sick. Some people said, I feel very buzzy all over, especially in my head. Another person chimed in, according to this report, he said, then I have an.
[00:29:33] Speaker B: Eye exam and at least I didn't.
[00:29:36] Speaker A: Damage my retinas while I watched it.
And some people said, well, they were having menstrual problems because of the eclipse.
[00:29:48] Speaker B: Who knows?
[00:29:51] Speaker A: And somebody else said, as far as I know, there is no physical relationship between the eclipse and a person's health. And people experience any symptoms that might be more due to superstition or than the actual effect of the, you know, of the eclipse.
Did you experience anything?
I don't know. I, I don't think I did.
I was exposed to some pollen because right now, guess what, it's pollen season.
But did you have that problem?
That's kind of crazy.
Well, what did it do for the economy?
There were reports of hotels, motels, whatever you want to call them, up and down I 75. And the prices would go from $200 a night all the way up to $1,200 a night.
And you had to stay at least two nights.
So that's $2,400 that you would be paying out of your pocket to watch an eclipse.
[00:31:07] Speaker B: Is it worth it?
[00:31:11] Speaker A: A lot of the hotels were pre booked for months.
There were people going into campgrounds and camping there, and they were going to watch the eclipse.
So the hotels made money, the campgrounds made money. There was a school north of me about 13 miles, and they had a big parking lot. So they rented out their parking lot.
[00:31:36] Speaker B: At $100 a car just to watch an eclipse for five minutes at the most.
[00:31:47] Speaker A: And at the end of the five minutes, they hung around a little bit, then got on the interstate and left one of the masonic lodges in another town to the west, which is about 30 miles to the west. They were renting parking places for $30 when you could just go to the.
[00:32:07] Speaker B: Park and find a spot and park.
[00:32:11] Speaker A: There and go for free. But they were doing that and they were selling hot dogs and stuff. I hope, I hope they made some profit for the lodge because they donate.
[00:32:18] Speaker B: To a lot of good causes locally. Well, and in the state of Ohio, too.
[00:32:29] Speaker A: But the economy picked up a little bit. But has it been doing very well?
Not really. We've got inflation, and the inflation is making everything cost more.
The food cost is up. I had a friend that had a restaurant in my town, and I stopped in to see her, and I went to the door. They said they'd be open till 06:00. I went to the door and tugged on the door. It was locked.
And I started to turn away, and she came to the door. She said, come on in. So I went in, and since she opened the door, I thought, well, I would just buy an iced tea and sit there and talk to him a little bit and then leave.
And I said, how's business?
[00:33:15] Speaker B: She says, what business?
We were done at 02:00 p.m.
And.
[00:33:22] Speaker A: They do a very good breakfast and lunch business, and they were willing to stay open longer. But guess what? No business.
[00:33:30] Speaker B: So they closed.
[00:33:31] Speaker A: They had staff there that they had.
[00:33:33] Speaker B: To hire to stay extra.
[00:33:37] Speaker A: So it was a losing proposition for them. And I imagine some of the other stores had the same type of problem in this little place. I want to tell you something. The lighthouse restaurant, it's what it's called the lighthouse.
It's packed for breakfast.
[00:33:55] Speaker B: It's packed for lunch, and they close.
[00:33:59] Speaker A: At 02:00 and that's every day.
And here they decided to stay open longer to be able to serve these big throngs of people and that they never showed up.
So how many businesses made money? Probably the hotels and some of the fast food places, maybe souvenir shops.
They were selling little green men, little Martians.
I looked at the label.
[00:34:33] Speaker B: And I said, hey, Pat, these are made in Germany.
[00:34:39] Speaker A: And then I looked around, I said, forget that. It was made in China. Fine print.
And she didn't know. And I don't know how many she sold.
I don't know how many she will give away.
I know I bought one. I had to. I mean, I like to support my local businesses.
I'm just kind of a fuddy duddy that way. You know what I mean? Well, the economy.
According to National association for Business Economics, the Nabe on Monday predicted that gross domestic product, a measure of the value of goods and services, will rise 2.2% in 2024. I don't know what it's going to do. They're estimating. I don't know how good things are going to be.
Like I said, some businesses would make money and some people would lose money.
[00:35:42] Speaker B: Now, you know, we're losing money because.
[00:35:46] Speaker A: Of all the undocumented or illegal aliens coming in.
I wonder if those Martians that were running around downtown had a green card. I don't know.
But I was looking at that and all these statistics, and I don't care whether you get it from Fox News or you get it from the Washington Times or the Post or wherever, the New York Times, they talk about problems.
[00:36:21] Speaker B: With crime, and you don't have a border.
[00:36:25] Speaker A: You really don't have any control. You don't vet.
[00:36:29] Speaker B: Vet the people coming through to see.
[00:36:33] Speaker A: If they're criminals or whatever.
You don't check them to see if they have any diseases coming into the country.
And I guess lately we're having a problem with measles.
I mean, measles was eradicated here in the states, and then they opened up the borders and people came in.
[00:36:52] Speaker B: Guess what?
[00:36:53] Speaker A: Some people are getting measles again.
[00:36:58] Speaker B: But I started looking at statistics and I thought, okay, let's go to the.
[00:37:05] Speaker A: US Customs and Border Protection and see.
[00:37:08] Speaker B: What their statistics are for criminal, non citizens arrest people.
[00:37:16] Speaker A: Anyhow, the arrest of individuals with criminal convictions now, back in the fiscal year 2017 was 8531, and then in 2020, it was 4238 and 21 was 10,763.
Fiscal year 22 was 12,028. 23 was 15,267 arrests.
And so far this year, it's 7064 arrests. And that's only from July, I'm sorry, January up to April.
Now, what type of convictions for right now, the 2024, we've got assaults, battery, domestic violence. We've got 458 cases, burglary, robbery, larceny, theft and fraud. 286, driving under the influence, 1194 homicide, manslaughter, 18, illegal drug possession in trafficking, 663 illegal reentry. In other words, we kick them out and they come back.
[00:38:38] Speaker B: Well, guess what?
[00:38:40] Speaker A: From January 1 until now, 4407 people were involved in illegal reentry, illegal weapons possession, transport and trafficking, 101 sexual offenses, 95 others, their stats are saying 1334.
Are they accurate?
[00:39:12] Speaker B: Well, those are the ones that they had booked.
[00:39:19] Speaker A: How many came into the country during the eclipse?
[00:39:27] Speaker B: I don't know, but I keep listening.
[00:39:30] Speaker A: To people and they say it's going to get bad, and if you're not prepared.
[00:39:36] Speaker B: And things really get bad, and.
[00:39:40] Speaker A: For some reason the government says, well, you have to stay home because now there's a special flu bug that's going.
[00:39:46] Speaker B: Around from illegal immigrants or there's something.
[00:39:52] Speaker A: That was caused from the eclipse.
You can't go travel. You can't do this. You can't do that.
Are you going to take ivermectin? Are you going to take hydrochloroquine? Are you going to wash your hands? Are you going to be careful around the people that you're at?
Are you going to wear a mask?
Masks don't work. It was found out why they made everybody wear a mask. Beats the heck out of me.
I've got some masks. I bought a bunch during the pandemic because they said, oh, you have to wear a mask.
And then they found out if you're wearing a mask, you're re breathing everything that you're breathing out, and you get more bugs in the mask.
And the mask really doesn't help. The only thing it does help against.
[00:40:46] Speaker B: If somebody is spitting or coughing, it contains it.
[00:40:52] Speaker A: That that's about it.
But you take a look at everything and you kind of wonder, okay, what's all being caused by open borders.
One thing I do know, that if you were in Austria and you came into the country illegally and they caught.
[00:41:12] Speaker B: You, you would be spending your time.
[00:41:16] Speaker A: In what is called the gray bar.
[00:41:18] Speaker B: Hotel, better known as the slammer or.
[00:41:22] Speaker A: Better known as jail, and they would have a deportation trial, and you would be gone. You would be kicked out of the country. They do not have any sympathy for people coming in illegally and breaking the rules.
I believe the same thing in Hungary.
[00:41:41] Speaker B: And you say, well, that doesn't have.
[00:41:43] Speaker A: Anything to do with the US.
[00:41:47] Speaker B: Well, yeah, it does, because we pay.
[00:41:50] Speaker A: Out all this money to feed, transport, give them some spending money. I don't know how many millions it is for people coming in illegally. We're paying them to be here.
Well, that they ought to do that. No.
[00:42:10] Speaker B: Where does the money come from, uh, tax money. Okay? It comes out of tax money.
Who pays the taxes?
[00:42:22] Speaker A: Oh, you and me.
[00:42:25] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:42:27] Speaker A: Then your taxes are going to go.
[00:42:29] Speaker B: Up, or we're going to go into debt and things are going to get.
[00:42:36] Speaker A: Very expensive, and we're going to have runaway inflation. We're also going to have diseases.
Hospitals will be overcrowded when they are now in some places, not every place, but in some places. And that's what's going on.
And you say, gee, stu, you didn't joke around tonight.
Well, there was a lot of things we have to think about with what is going on.
Did people make money during the eclipse? Well, they kind of sort of did. You know what I mean?
The hotels made money.
Some of the restaurants made some money. Probably the fast food, probably the carryouts.
[00:43:25] Speaker B: Made money, because a lot of people.
[00:43:28] Speaker A: Like to have a little alcohol while they're watching the sun and the moon come together during an eclipse.
They sell a lot of gasoline. Speaking of gasoline, locally, our gasoline was like one, sorry, $3.29 a gallon, and then for the eclipse, it went to $3.59 a gallon.
And that everybody's been saying, keep your gas tank topped off. Keep it filled.
And I'm going to tell you right now, always keep your tanks filled. You have to keep it filled. If you don't keep them filled. And we have a catastrophe like the Baltimore bridge.
[00:44:20] Speaker B: There's a problem, and we may not.
[00:44:23] Speaker A: Get gasoline, and the prices may go up because gasoline suddenly gets scarce.
I was going to cover some things tonight on that Baltimore Bridge because there were some new scans made by the army corps of engineers of the bridge and how badly it's damaged, and it's going to take a long time to get everything cleared out. The good news is that they are clearing smaller channels so that smaller boats can get through, but not the big ocean going ships.
And generally you have coal leaving the port and foreign cars coming in like Mercedes Benz and so forth.
It's going to be interesting to see how the prices are going to rise and are they going to change ports and are they going to move them to New York or are they going to move them to another place, maybe Norfolk, or are they going to move them to Miami, Florida, or Houston, Texas?
I've been to Houston, Texas, to the port of Houston. I want to tell you something. It is huge.
I think it was the third or fourth largest port in the country.
I took a tour on a boat one time, and I'm going through there, and I'm looking up at the boat and my head was like leaning way back and I'm seeing people looking down and they're saying, you know, hi. And we're like, what? Hi. And we're going down through the ship channel. And all of these big ships were there and they were unloaded, getting ready to be loaded.
It was an interesting trip.
[00:46:12] Speaker B: It was free.
[00:46:12] Speaker A: It was done by the city of Houston or the port of Houston. And we had a very good, very good trip.
[00:46:18] Speaker B: It was a 1 hour trip in the port.
[00:46:22] Speaker A: But what's that going to do to Baltimore?
There was a report that I read that 8000 people would be out of work per day. That would be longshoremen and so forth.
[00:46:35] Speaker B: And that doesn't include the people that work in restaurants.
[00:46:42] Speaker A: I mean, they depend on the longshoremen and transfer drivers and everything else. There's going to be a huge economic impact to that area.
And I imagine there are going to be some restaurants and other places closing because they don't have the business that they had.
Now, what's going to happen to the other ports?
How much security is going to be in the ports? Because up in New York, I guess, the Verrazano Narrows bridge almost got hit.
They said the power went out on.
[00:47:20] Speaker B: The ship.
[00:47:23] Speaker A: And the tugboat had to kind of deflect things, I guess.
It's getting scary out there, guys. You have to be prepared, pay down your debt, put some money aside, buy some long term food, be able to purify and store water. One gallon per person a day.
[00:47:41] Speaker B: Is it the minimum you're going to need?
[00:47:44] Speaker A: Probably two to three gallons per person.
[00:47:46] Speaker B: Per day just to survive.
[00:47:49] Speaker A: Because you have to wash things, you have to stay clean, you have to have drinking water.
It's all got to be purified. You have to have that stuff.
And you do that and make sure that you have a good first aid kit with you.
You know, if you're a diabetic, make sure you have your medications. If you have a heart condition, make sure you have your medications. Just a lot of things to consider now. I've got a kit that I carry.
[00:48:20] Speaker B: In my car with all of that.
[00:48:23] Speaker A: I've even got a tourniquet in there for some reason. I bought this kit and I really like it, but I haven't used it yet. I hope I don't have to use.
[00:48:31] Speaker B: It, but I always carry some spare money.
[00:48:34] Speaker A: I also carry some emergency food just in case.
During the summer, I will put water in that travel kit. It's a nice bag and I can keep it in the trunk. And if something happens, hey, I'm good.
I can survive.
Surviving is a good thing.
It really is. But anyhow, that, that's all that's going on there, and I'll be posting this.
Some of it will be on the money and change site, and some will be in live laugh and whatever. Just so if you want to check the articles, you can.
Well, a little humor today.
You know, the wrinkle city Gazette is out there. You can check it on weebly webly.com, and it covers many, many, many years of information.
The one thing I thought I'd bring up, have you ever read a church bulletin and looked at things in the bulletin and it just don't seem right?
It's how they phrase things.
And you kind of wonder, well, what's going on? Well, as far as bloopers in the church, the following are actual church bulletin.
[00:49:52] Speaker B: Board bloopers found all across the states. Here, the outreach committee has enlisted 25.
[00:50:02] Speaker A: Visitors to make calls on people who are not afflicted with any church.
I thought it would be affiliated, but they're saying afflicted.
Low self esteem support group will meet Thursday at seven to 08:30 p.m.
Please use the back door of the parsonage.
How about for those of you who.
[00:50:28] Speaker B: Have children and don't know it, we.
[00:50:32] Speaker A: Have a nursery downstairs. I would imagine if you had children.
[00:50:36] Speaker B: You would know it.
[00:50:39] Speaker A: If not, you would be probably in paternity court.
Which reminds me, I was visiting one of my facilities. I was doing an inspection in Cincinnati, and I was talking to the manager of the facility, and we were just having a good conversation, and there was a sheriff's deputy there and we were talking to him and so forth.
All of a sudden, this little kid comes up and grabs the manager's leg.
[00:51:11] Speaker B: And goes, daddy, daddy.
[00:51:16] Speaker A: Well, the guy who was having his leg grabbed by the little kid happened to be, oh, just about 75 or 80, and it definitely wasn't his kid.
Talk about laughter that was going on. It was something else. And this guy was doing a WC fields. He's shaking his leg going, get away, kid. Get away. Leave me alone.
[00:51:40] Speaker B: It's interesting.
[00:51:44] Speaker A: The pastor will preach his farewell message, after which the choir will sing break forth into joy.
That isn't worded quite right, is it? Next Sunday, Misses Vinson will be the soloist for the morning service. The pastor will then speak on. It's a terrible experience.
Have you ever had that in church where somebody starts singing and they're off key?
[00:52:18] Speaker B: That happens.
[00:52:21] Speaker A: Remember, in prayer, the many who are sick of our church and our community could be wrinkle city.
Then there was another one that was posted, said the 8th graders will be presenting Shakespeare's hamlet in the church basement on Friday at 07:00 p.m. The congregation is invited to attend this tragedy.
[00:52:51] Speaker B: Hey, it happens.
[00:52:53] Speaker A: People that write things like that are something else.
Have you ever done phonetics?
They teach people to say words out phonetically.
A long time ago in english classes, they used to do that.
Well, here's something for you.
Jake, who was about five years old, he's learning to read.
He points at a picture in a zoo book of zoo animals and says.
[00:53:25] Speaker B: Look, mama, it's a freaking elephant.
[00:53:30] Speaker A: And there was a deep breath. What did you call it? His mama said.
[00:53:35] Speaker B: He said, it's a freaking elephant, mama.
It says so on the picture, and.
[00:53:44] Speaker A: She looks at it, and so it does. It was an african elephant.
Well, was the kid hooked on phonics?
[00:53:53] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:53:54] Speaker A: I don't think phonics really went that far for years. Maybe they're still using it. I don't know.
[00:54:00] Speaker B: I think when I was taught to.
[00:54:02] Speaker A: Read, it was on a stone tablet someplace.
I have no idea.
You know, you might be from wrinkle city when you fish coins out of the public fountains.
We have a few fountains around here, but I haven't seen any coins.
You, you're from wrinkle city when you consider pork and beans to be a gourmet food.
[00:54:31] Speaker B: And you're from wrinkle city when you.
[00:54:34] Speaker A: Have to have rabies shots and your doc hasn't, or you borrow shopping carts for other projects.
[00:54:44] Speaker B: Have you ever seen that?
[00:54:46] Speaker A: People get shopping carts at Wally World, or they get them at Kroger's or Aldi's or whatever, and they take them home with them.
They walk them back to their apartments or whatever, and they use them for barbecue grills or to carry stuff, and they're.
[00:55:04] Speaker B: They're all over.
[00:55:06] Speaker A: I might live in wrinkle city because it's out there.
The theme song at your high school prom was friends in low places.
Yeah, that's probably true.
Matter of fact, I have a school reunion tomorrow, class reunion from the class of 66.
And it's actually tomorrow at 11:00 and somebody is trying to call me.
I will get with them later. I'm doing a show.
[00:55:44] Speaker B: Good grief.
Ah.
[00:55:50] Speaker A: But anyhow, we have a reunion tomorrow at cracker barrel at 1030 in the morning.
Why would we be doing lunch at 1030? I don't know, but we'll find out. So everybody that was in my class of 1966, please show up so we can ask that question. Why are we eating at 1030 in the morning instead of maybe noon or 01:00 in the afternoon?
And we have people coming down from Michigan, we have people coming in from other states, and we do this every three or four months apart.
What happens if you go into a bank and the bank tellers put their hands up in the air as soon as you walk in? You might be from wrinkle City or you can't get married to your sweetheart because there's a law against it.
[00:56:48] Speaker B: Hmm.
[00:56:51] Speaker A: I once heard somebody said there was a sign in West Virginia that said it's all relative. I don't know what they mean about that.
[00:57:01] Speaker B: Just.
[00:57:03] Speaker A: Welcome to West Virginia.
They could probably say that about a lot of states.
And the last one is you might be from wrinkle City if you go to a family reunion just to get a date.
Well, that's about all I've got, guys. I'll tell you what.
Stay tuned on Sunday because we're going to be talking about how the economy is and how to do some prepping for a possible downturn. I can't tell you the time, I can't tell you the place, I can't.
[00:57:44] Speaker B: Tell you the date, but everybody keeps.
[00:57:48] Speaker A: Saying things are going to happen.
So you want to take a look.
[00:57:53] Speaker B: At live life and whatever my world.
[00:57:58] Speaker A: Check it out. I'll post some things there, but mainly check out money and change on Facebook.
Check it out. It's free. The information's there.
You take a look at it. You make up your own mind because there's, everybody's got an opinion. I don't know about you, but a lot of people have opinions and it's interesting. And, oh, by the way, take some time. And if you have a meeting at city hall with the city commissioners and so forth, a monthly meeting or whatever, go.
It's amazing what you can learn there.
It's amazing what things happen.
And sometimes that kind of opens your eyes up a little bit about the world. Anyhow, guys, that's all I've got for this month, actually, not this month.
[00:58:53] Speaker B: This week seems like it's been a month.
[00:58:56] Speaker A: Anyhow, we'll be trying to cover a whole bunch of stuff later on. You know, just check out our page. Hope you had a very good experience with the eclipse.
Go out there and be happy. And by the way, if you want to have some fun, check out the YouTube videos on WKRP in Cincinnati. I'm going to try to post that because that they used to be in the Flem building, f l e m building. Which was actually the old inquiry building where I worked back in the early nineties in Cincinnati. It was a popular show back then, and it was funny, especially the turkey drop. You have to see that. Well, with that, guys, have a good week, and we will see you next Wednesday right here on my world.
[00:59:56] Speaker B: See ya.
