Stuck out here, don't know about you, but my morning commute is filled with thinking about who won, who lost and who was going to light up the next game, the last thing I want to be thinking about are my car lights. That's why I swung by advance, not only to their experts, set me up with two Silvania Silver Star ultra headlights with the furthest down low visibility. I saved 15 bucks by mail for better vision during these dark winter mornings.

[00:00:24]

Adventure Auto at Advanced Auto Parts and participating Carquest locations see stores for details. This is the down labor part. Sure. With this to got Sparkasse. The animal doctor is here seven, eight, six four five six four eight three seven is the telephone number. We will get to your calls. Also have sprinkled in some limited FAQ, Sean Connery, who are still on hold. So we're going to have to do those as well because we can't separate the calls.

[00:00:55]

But before we go any further, we need to go out first to Christine Lacy.

[00:01:09]

And finally, in 2009, Nigerian police arrested a goat on suspicion of attempted robbery. Watch. That's all I have. OK. Michael Jordan, OK. I thought you were going to go Brady that always MJ.

[00:01:27]

Yes, always MJ. OK, before we get to your calls, Roy, what do you have for Ron McGill of Zoo Miami?

[00:01:35]

Ron, one hundred pilot whales were beached in Sri Lanka. How exactly does that happen?

[00:01:41]

And what is the proper way for humans to help these whales get back into the sea? Well, you know, beatings are not a terribly uncommon thing, and unfortunately, most of the time they're related to an illness, a parasite, a sickness. It's unfortunate that a lot of the whales, even when they're returned to sea, end up beaching themselves again because of whatever illness brought them there in the first place. However, it can save a lot of these animals.

[00:02:05]

If you see a marine mammal stranded, you need to call your local wildlife authority, whether it be the Marine Mammal Patrol, whether it be your Fish and Wildlife Department, they're the ones that are suited to go out there. I mean, people can try to MEANWELL and try to go out there and bring those animals back out to sea. And you can really hurt yourself and you can really hurt the animal if you don't know what you're doing. Again, having said that, you may be able to save some of them.

[00:02:24]

Some of them, of course, have been saved over years. But a lot of times we've unfortunately found that many of the ones that beached the beach themselves, again because of whatever illness, whatever problem brought them there in the first place. So it's a it's an uphill battle, to say the least.

[00:02:37]

Chris, what do you have for Ron Magill of Zoo Miami?

[00:02:40]

Ron, I'm wondering how often animals in the same exhibit have altercations. And if you have, like, a most memorable one in your career?

[00:02:49]

Oh, that happens all the time. I mean, it's like, you know, how many times two families in the same house have altercations, whatever comes up. It depends whether it's a fight over food. It's a fight or space. It's a fight over a mate that happens all the time. The most significant ones I remember are lions. When the female lionesses are in heat, the brothers, the two males who normally get along with each other, fine turn into absolute arch enemies.

[00:03:12]

And they get into these battles that are don't make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. The roars, the screaming, the the lunges with the claws. It is looks like a fight to the death. Fortunately, it's usually just some superficial scratches and some egos being destroyed. But it is very scary to look at.

[00:03:27]

It's never a fight to the death. No, we've never had that happen. Generally speaking, in the wild, you know, here at the zoo. We're lucky we have very large exhibits. So an animal that knows he's about to lose can run away sometimes if you have animals in, too, and too much of an enclosed space, that could lead to a fatal outcome. Because in the wild, generally speaking, those battles are not to the death.

[00:03:50]

That is a very rare occurrence. Animals, no one's going to lose and they run away. But in captivity, you have to be able to give them a space to run to. If not, it can result tragically.

[00:04:00]

Will the zoo staff intervene at all during these things or you just let it play out? How are you crazy? What can you do? Nothing like going out there by yourself doing something wrong.

[00:04:13]

Answer then he makes a good point. There are times you know we'll have it. For instance, I'll tell you, when we put our rhinos together for breeding for playing rhinos is very physical, very intense. They'll actually draw blood, but it's actually part of foreplay. So we we we have to be very vigilant in observing them to be able to determine is this for players that they hate each other's guts. I have personally been between two rhinos are male and female with a female was just I mean, just killing them.

[00:04:42]

And she was knocking them all over the place. She was bleeding. And we had to come to a conclusion. Listen, this is not foreplay any longer because there's no way he's going be able to do anything the way she's beating him up. So we had to separate them. And I literally we went in there with a pickup truck. I'm on the bed of the pickup with a fire extinguisher, and we shot a fire extinguisher between them to separate them.

[00:04:59]

Laughing But this is serious. Oh, Marc, it's crazy.

[00:05:04]

You had a truck that was designated as a separate truck that was banged up to look. Things looked being looked at as it has. If it had rolled down a mountainside banged up by the rhino so much. And we go in there, we shoot the fire extinguisher, we separate.

[00:05:16]

That's great. Greg, what do you have for Ron Magill of Zoo Miami? Ron, this came up in the local hour.

[00:05:23]

We were wondering whether ants had teeth. And it got me to thinking, is it possible to do surgery on the tiniest little animal? What is the smallest animal that can endure a medical procedure? Cos I wish I had the answer to that, Greg. I don't know, I mean, I know that they have done surgery on something as small as a hummingbird, which is pretty tiny, but it's a very risky procedure, as you can imagine. And generally speaking, the riskiest part of any of those procedures is the anesthesia itself.

[00:05:56]

Just getting the anesthesia right is one of the biggest challenges with a lot of these animals. So, again, I've known they've they've done surgery on something as small as a hummingbird, and that's pretty small. So it can be done. Yermo put it on the pole.

[00:06:07]

Do ants have teeth? Ron, last week you you were away because you were involved in a number of procedures, surgical procedures at the zoo. Do you have a story involving an animal waking during the procedure in a way that caused you problems or do you have a memorable surgery story? Well, I do have a memorable story.

[00:06:30]

And it was literally two weeks after I started working over 40 years ago at the Olecranon Park Zoo on Key Biscayne. We had to immobilize the chimpanzee because he had cut his arm and the arm had to be stitched up. So those days we just had cages. It was an awful situation. So they darted the chimp and then once he went down, he was immobilized. We brought him out and laid him on the grass next to the cage. And we're right alongside a canal there with the zoo.

[00:06:55]

And the veterinarian gets on his knees between the chimp. I'm holding one arm. Another veteran is holding the other arm. I'm just this is my second week on the job. This chimp is out outcall, OK? And the veterinarian is leaning over and starts sewing up this this laceration on his arm. And then all of a sudden, without any warning, the chimp sits up, puts his face five inches in front of the veterinarian who's leaning over sewing his arm and just goes, wow, it screams at the top of his lungs.

[00:07:23]

I was so scared, I froze. The other guy on the other arm jumped into the canal, OK? And then all of a sudden, I see this is not I'm not exaggerating. All of a sudden, his eyes rolled back in his head and he fell back down on his back. And I'm shaking. I'm looking at the medical. What happened? Is he going to wake up again? And he goes, no, you know, the drug that they use back then is actually a drug that people you hear now is used for date rape all the time is ketamine.

[00:07:48]

He says that drug often causes these animals to have hallucinations in the middle of anesthesia. Well, they will react that way, but they're not awake. They don't know what they're doing and nothing can happen. You just let them fall back asleep. I go. I wish you had told me that ahead of time, but it's now different because now they they use a cocktail of drugs. They don't use street ketamine anymore. And that cocktail helps to offset these unexpected awakenings, so to speak.

[00:08:12]

But it was scary, man. It was really scary.

[00:08:15]

We've been doing this about ten years with Ron McGill and every damn week we learn something new. Adam B, you are on ESPN Radio. Go ahead, Adam.

[00:08:25]

Bobby Womack, Barry, Sean Connery. You're on deck. You're on with Ron McGill. Go ahead.

[00:08:40]

Hey, Ron, I'm just wondering if there was a species or subspecies of animal across the world that decided, hey, we're done with humans, we're taking them out, who's doing what's in the best chance of doing that? If they had the mental capacity to do so, it would be the mosquito, it would be the mosquito that would, you know, consciously seek out humans to spread fatal diseases from dengue to malaria to Ebola. Whatever it is, mosquitoes are the greatest vector and the greatest killers of human beings historically.

[00:09:14]

And if they had a mindset to where they could coordinate attack, we'd be in trouble.

[00:09:19]

Jason, you're on with Ron Magill of Zoo Miami. Go ahead, Jason.

[00:09:23]

They stand for taking my call. Just want to let you guys know that when you open the club on Friday, I'm up in Alaska. It's only seven, 45 in the morning.

[00:09:31]

And this time. So my question is, is outside of the spawning season, I'm an avid fisherman. Why is it that a giant grizzly bear can stand in the middle of a stream, jump up and snag a fish by pouncing on it? But I can stand in that water with a spear all day long and I can't get one to save my life. And that the bear is ten times bigger than me is about the size of Avatar.

[00:10:01]

Oh, I'll tell you why. Because a bear truly needs that to survive. If he doesn't have that skill, the bear will not survive. I promise you that. Now you feel like you have something to save your life. But if it was something to save your life, you would get good enough with that spear. And I can tell you, I know that because I've been with indigenous people in the forest with little spears or little arrows that they make themselves, that I try to shoot it and I look like a, you know, a blind person shooting in the dark.

[00:10:27]

They shoot it and they hit like tiny little monkeys and stuff. The accuracy is beyond unbelievable. So, again, why? Because that's how they survive. So when you have to fine tune these skills to truly survive, not as a you know, not not as a whatever you call a recreational sports, but to survive, if you really trust me, you would get as good with that spear as the bears with his claws. The bears just want it.

[00:10:50]

More eyeballs they need to survive means they want it more.

[00:10:55]

Right. They go home, put it on the pole game show.

[00:11:00]

Have you ever started a sentence with. I've been with indigenous people in the wild. Let's let's do a video now. Ron, what do you have that you're doing? Play by play.

[00:11:11]

OK, you ready? Yeah. Here we go. Play. Oh, these are the qualities. These are the this is the most numerous bird on the face of the planet, the qualities. And they make these huge formations in the sky. It looks like kind of like hollowly, like it's going to get such good old coming. Oh, and you have these birds coming to make these huge formations sky and it looks like some kind of alien object coming out.

[00:11:35]

It's like the attack. It's like the apocalypse. It's fantastic to watch these birds, these formations. They're making the sky again. You think about there's hundreds of thousands of birds in this formation and look at the way the formations go. It's like a symphony in the sky.

[00:11:47]

These formations, how are they able to do that without running into each other, flying into each other? Incredible coordination. It's the same way you look at big school fish. Watch what happens when, like a shark was in a school and the school puts no no fish. It's other fish. They just they just put perfectly and they make these perfect transitions and perfect wave. It's animals, man. That's what's so wonderful about nature. You know, we think we're so good.

[00:12:09]

And then you look at what nature can do and you think if these animals actually played sports, if they had the ability to to hold a football or hold a basketball and cut and fly and run the way these animals do, there'd be no competition. We'd look like a bunch of nothings.

[00:12:21]

There has there has to be one wayward bird that is always running into like giraffes. Oh, my God, Jerry's with this group. And yeah, they're just so small we don't notice and they probably don't survive.

[00:12:34]

That's natural selection. If you don't survive, then you know what? You're going to probably die and you won't pass that gene on. So there won't be any more stupid birds like you that kept on crashing into birds.

[00:12:42]

I can't decide if it works.

[00:12:44]

I can't decide if that's beautiful or horrifying. It's the smoke monster from Lost. It's both.

[00:12:49]

Thank you, Ron, for being on with us. I guys have a great week.

[00:12:53]

Strogoff I bet this is my third show with there. Still got on ESPN Radio. ESPN Radio is presented by Progressive's Home Insurance. Get your quote a progressive dotcom today. If you missed any of the show, we'll get back to that. That's conversational. Dan, it's time for Straight Talk. It is brought to you by Straight Talk Wireless.

[00:14:24]

A new South Beach session is out now if you want to check it out, the whistle blower podcast that goes deeper into the NBA game fixing scandal than I've ever heard a journalist go. The guy who made that whistle blower podcast is on with us.

[00:14:43]

And if you want the Cliff Notes version, it's the whistle blower podcast is very strong by itself. It's told over many episodes. But one of the things that is happening there is that as it relates to Tim Donaghy and the game fixing, this guy spent eight years reporting the story, gets closer to the truth than anyone else has. You've heard Mike Ryan talking about Ted LASO here. Very positive show. A lot of people are getting feel good vibes off of that show.

[00:15:15]

Greg Codi, I'm surprised to hear Greg Codi, who doesn't watch very much television get caught up. And I'm stunned that you have Apple TV. Plus I'm genuinely stunned. Do you watch anything else on Apple TV plus or just head LASO?

[00:15:31]

Nothing else that I'm aware of. My wife has Apple Plus and I'm just along for the ride, but that's the one show that just grabs me.

[00:15:39]

I so look, I was heartbroken when we had to watch the final episode, knowing I'd have to wait to watch another one same thing happen to Mike Ryan.

[00:15:47]

So we're going to clear out some time here. So we have time. We're going to go short this segment, so we make room for him. There were a couple of things those two got in the fight game that happened this week. And one of them, Dana White, saying now about five years too late, about five years out of squeezing every penny out of Anderson Silva. Now, he shouldn't fight anymore. I mean, it was I was it now he should have squeezed every penny.

[00:16:12]

Nobody will pay any more to watch him fight anymore. You should never fight again. It's a shell of Anderson Silva and has been for five years.

[00:16:20]

But also and I don't know how recent this was. It's something I had never seen before or guys during a stare down in boxing as both sides got very, you know, they looked visually upset right in each other's faces. And one of the boxers just kissed the other one right on the lips, like grab the side of his head and kissed him passionately on the mouth. I I've never seen that before. And it was it was amazing.

[00:16:46]

It was just what was the reaction to the most startling I mean, to be startled, I would say, would have been really something if he was into it, too.

[00:16:54]

And it just becomes a torrid romance and romantic music. Well, they never fight one of the guys there by happily ever after another one of the guys nearby started shouting right after the kiss.

[00:17:07]

I'll see you tomorrow. And I didn't know whether it was like a date or a threat. Like I just started shouting at the guy who had done the kissing. We'll see you tomorrow. And it sounded Dorcy on table for to aggressively passionate.

[00:17:20]

That is straight talk. It is brought to you by straight talk wireless. No contract, no compromise. Hey, it's your homey sorry, it's your home. I know you don't like it when I call myself your old man, so I have some favors to ask you. Could you get rid of a few chairs in the living room? My floorboards are tired.

Another easy thing.

So Bill Lawrence is responsible for Ted LASO, the television show on ESPN television. Plus, we've been telling you about he's also responsible for Scrubs and he's the the co creator of Cougar Town as well. We will get back to Christine Lisi a segment from now so that we can make the room here for Bill Lauren's love, talking to the creative types around here. Roy is a giant fan of Scrubs, but if I misspoke there, the first season of Ted LASO is available now on Apple TV.

[00:19:05]

Plus, the show's been renewed Four Seasons two and three. Thank you for joining us, Bill Lawrence. Are you surprised by the reaction to Ted LASO or did you know, you know, while you're doing it now, this is going to be good and people are going to embrace it. Thank you for joining us, by the way, on the program today.

[00:19:25]

You've got to be a sycophant for a sec. I'm a huge fan. So, you know, I mean, time has lost its meaning a little bit. So I don't listen to the show driving to work as much because, you know, I'm in my house, but it's couldn't be more fun than congrats on your permanent move to ESPN. Plus the complete and total.

[00:19:41]

It's not a movie. It's a promotion. No, it's not. It's not a promotion. We're just available there corporately. They're telling us it's not a move, a switch. It's not a shift. It's not anything. It's just that we're just going to be there. But thank you for congratulating us on something that's not worthy of congratulations.

[00:20:00]

Like you guys love to ask me a question, but I got to say, I tell you randomly what hooked me on the show really quick. And it's just because I'm over excited that Greg Coatis there. And when I went to college, I went to William and Mary and we which is, you know, has weird colonial people churning butter and stuff in historical. I don't know if you guys know Colonial Williamsburg, it has that kind of historical bent of actors all pretending to live in olden times.

[00:20:29]

And because of that, there are horses all over drawn carriages and stuff and a game we used to play, you know, my buddies and me, where if you're walking on a street and you saw, you know, a pile of horse manure up ahead and your friend didn't see it, you would immediately engage him and try to distract him so that he walked directly into it.

[00:20:47]

And you literally go like, hey, what's going on in your life? How's it going with your girlfriend? And that reminded me so much of what you do to Greg on the hard out that I had the giggles about it ever ever since I first heard.

[00:21:00]

Well, Greg, Greg, you must be delighted by this. As a fan of Ted Lizer, he was just telling us that he just stared at his television, sad with his wife when it ended because he doesn't want to wait for another another season, which, of course, by the end of this conversation, he will have asked you to send him season two or three, whether you're finished with them or not, right?

[00:21:18]

That's right. Well, I'm already rewriting my resume to include that. The great Bill Lawrence has likened me in the hard network out to a pile of horse manure. So that's that's a real highlight. All right.

[00:21:31]

Enough love fest. Answer some questions around here. What? Yeah. What were you expecting from Ted LASO when you started to make it?

[00:21:40]

Look, the if anybody knew what was going to work out here, they'd just do it all the time. So, you know, I used to want to call my company Noble Failure Productions. And so just try to make stuff that I wouldn't be embarrassed of. My friends and family watched it. And look, I'd be remiss if I didn't say Ted LASO. I'm not you know, I'm not the main guy. It's me and Jason Sudeikis. It's his vision as more than anybody in the world.

[00:22:06]

He's a writer and the star of it. And Joe Kelly Brennan, the four of us created it together. But I had no idea. You know, the only thing that we knew was the pandemic hadn't started. But we knew conversationally that the world had reached such a cynical place, you know, in discourse and social media and out there that it might be interesting to have a hopeful and optimistic character. You know, the type of guy that if I were to meet him in real life, I would assume that the mask would come off in a week or two and he'd reveal himself to be a jerk.

[00:22:38]

And then when he doesn't, you have to look at yourself a little bit. You know, is there a model for that?

[00:22:42]

Like, I don't know that a relentlessly upbeat character. Are you are you taking from anywhere there? Do you have a precedent?

[00:22:50]

Yeah, the only press we got is, you know, we're trying to hold on this optimistic spirit. And Jason and I are both huge sports guys. And and we think that most. Men and women, they had some seminal figure in their life, be it a coach or a teacher or even a family friend, that didn't necessarily whiteknight them, you know, and make them go down a different path, but at least show them the way. And we were kind of both really big into that prototype.

[00:23:18]

You know, for me, it was I was not much of a book smarts guy in high school. And there is a writing teacher that was the first guy that said, hey, you might be able to do something with this. And instead of sneaking out of school twice a day to drink beers across the street, a place called Peach Lake, Connecticut, why you come and talk to me about writing. And that guy's name was his name was Bob Cox.

[00:23:40]

I named this character Dr. Cox in Scrubs after him and Jason, it was his basketball coach. So for us, even if it's nostalgic memories, we're trying to kind of embody, you know, that coach or teacher that convinced us that there is maybe a different path to go down in watching this show.

[00:23:57]

It seems like it's kind of a bit of an undertaking. I don't know what the budget was for that, but were there licensing issues that you run that run up against when you're trying to get Premier League teams involved?

[00:24:06]

Oh, yeah. I mean, it was horrible. It was you know, anybody you guys know more than anybody. Everybody's so protective of their leagues and their brand. And, you know, the interesting thing for us is the kind of the lack of interest, you know, maybe the first year when they didn't know what we were going to do and were probably worried that we were going to poke fun has changed to, you know, much bigger opportunities and easier sledding this year.

[00:24:29]

But that's just how I think that's how all pro sports, because they're so protective of their brands.

[00:24:33]

Roy is a giant fan of Scrubs. What do you have for Bill Lawrence Roy? Yeah, I'm finally happy that we got you on here.

[00:24:40]

I've been thinking about you on the show for like five, six, seven, eight times.

[00:24:44]

So, you know, like it's dominated your life, Roy. I mean, you're obsessed with it. Yeah. Yeah. With Scrubs. Can you tell us more about the inspiration of the show? And you started the show based on a doctor friend that you knew. Can you tell us more about it? Yeah.

[00:25:00]

I mean, looked the very same dude I played the the horse manure game with. His name's JD, is my best pal in college, and he, you know, was not a good student. Neither was I. And when he decided to be a doctor, he actually had to go back to med school, which is not to be psyched to hear this. He had to go back to undergraduate college again and do like premed yet again to get into a good med school.

[00:25:27]

But I used to joke with him that my biggest nightmare, even though I love him to death, would be to wake up in an emergency room and see him standing over me saying, hey, it's going to be fine. I would immediately have a panic attack. And all these shows about doctors here, we're always with people screaming the stat and kicking doors open and being hyper serious. And, you know, I found that the doctors that I knew to be funny and ridiculous and insecure.

[00:25:51]

And so I just essentially stole his life. You know, he was the medical advisor on the show. So he had that as a second gig to pay off his med school loans. And he's out here now running. He runs one of the Kaiser hospitals in Los Feliz. His and he runs a whole covid command center and stuff. So, you know, he he was cool enough to give us his and his friends stories as long as we the one rule was he had to make it clear, even if we were being goofy, that these guys and women always cared about what they were doing and cared about the patients.

[00:26:19]

Is there a question about scrubs that you get most often, fans, fans of the show? Yeah.

[00:26:26]

You know what? The the big one always seems to be the the guy who played the janitor, Neil Flynn. And I think he's actually made an appearance on your show before you know it.

[00:26:36]

We should. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:26:39]

Or maybe my bad by bad the you know, I'm as lazy as they come as all kind of comedy writers secretly are. And Neil is such a funny improv guy is the janitor on Scrubs and the star of his show called The Middle, that you know, being a comedy writers like I have a term paper due every Monday just for your whole life and to cut corners in the scripts we would often when the janitors lines instead of writing them, I just write, Hey Neil, say something funny and and then hope for the best.

[00:27:10]

And then the B side of that was always when people liked that joke and came up to me and said, Oh, I loved it when the janitor said this, I'd go, thank you, even though I had nothing to do with it. Generally asking about how much he made up himself.

[00:27:23]

Greg, what do you have for Bill Lawrence, creator, co creator of Ted LASO, available now on Apple TV plus show has been renewed for years, two seasons, two and three. What do you have for him, Greg? Bill, you could have put the Ted LASO character in any occupation, in any context, why did you choose British soccer?

[00:27:45]

The two two reasons. One. Look, we wanted to Jason. I wanted to do our version of a sports movie, you know, and my favorite thing is when when critics or other people argue that sports movies are about the sport. They're not. I mean, there's one that I think I remember about figure skating, D.B. Sweeney. And if I can ever remember the title you guys remember that movie was he was like a hockey player that turned into a figure skater.

[00:28:08]

No, I'll look it up right now. We'll get up. The audience will help us.

[00:28:12]

You know, but the point the point is that the it's never about the sports. Bull Durham is not about baseball. I'm never I'm not a big boxing guy. I saw every Rocky movie when they came out. And so we just want to do a sports moon. We don't really care about the environment. And Jason, you can see this drag if you wanted to. He had made years ago to promote the Premier League. He had made a couple promotional videos as his character, Ted LASO, that he invented.

[00:28:40]

And it was more of a sketch. It was just about an idiot American college football coach that went to coach a Premier League team and didn't understand anything about the game. And that's how this kind of project came to be, is he came to me and he's like, hey, do you think we could turn this into an actual TV show and make this guy more kind of human and add some emotions and pathos and stuff, but not one of us.

[00:28:59]

And we had to hire a couple of British writers actually know and love the game because not one of us is a soccer aficionado, you know, and over there, it's it's like they're college football, man. They're so passionate and so regionally based. It's crazy. All right.

[00:29:11]

We'll talk to you tomorrow. We got to we're going to ask you about that plane crash question. We got to ask about your pain. Your plane crash cutting edge is the movie you were thinking. Oh, there we go. There we go. Oh, thank you. Yeah. We'll talk to you tomorrow. Yeah. I'm glad to also have a good day, man. No one ever really says yeah.

[00:29:30]

Yeah, it's easy.

[00:29:33]

But I want to do assume, you know, whatever I mean, boom, boom.

[00:29:37]

No one ever says yeah, it means it's weird.

[00:29:41]

It's like happy to be here.

[00:29:46]

The great thing about facts, they're proven like the fact that crude oil contains impurities or that base oil made from natural gas is ninety nine point five percent free of impurities.

[00:29:56]

And the fact that Pennzoil is the first synthetic motor oil made from natural gas, not crude oil, it gives you unbeatable engine protection. The proof is in the Pennzoil based on sequel's for a rare test using SFI 130 available at Pep Boys.

[00:31:22]

Greg Cody suggested earlier in the show that Justin Turner should be tarred and feathered. I need to get more information, please. Anyone who's got it on why we were feathering people after tarring that many of you written in, well, it helps kill them. Well, I don't think the feathers have anything to do with the killing.

[00:31:40]

Well, you want to make sure that the tar stuck in and took hold correctly, and the only way you could know that was by sticking feathers on the top to see if the feathers stuck.

[00:31:51]

That sounds reasonable to me. Thank you. Not the actual tar sticking to someone's skin. Right.

[00:31:57]

But to see if this if the tar was hot enough, it was sticky enough. If it took hold correctly.

[00:32:04]

I believe others on that just don't believe. Right.

[00:32:06]

Well, let's see if we have more information. Christine. I'm sorry, Christine Lacy, that we interrupted you.

[00:32:16]

And finally, it would cost about 1500 dollars to make a sandwich entirely from scratch, including growing the vegetables, killing the chickens and making the bread.

[00:32:24]

About that 1500 dollars for labor all the time.

[00:32:30]

That is targeted by deli. I mean. Exactly.

[00:32:34]

South Beach prices.

[00:32:37]

So, Courtney, do you want to first of all, do you regret tarred and feathered? Do you regret? Because that seems extreme for a lot of different reasons, not the least of which is tarring and feathering in general seems extreme. It's a little extreme, it's in the same category as when they had stocks in the public square where you'd have to put your head and your two arms through through a hole. And it's just the whole idea is to publicly humiliate someone for something they've done.

[00:33:05]

I don't think it's a you know, it's not a punishment intended to kill as far as I know, but it's just something to cover.

[00:33:13]

Wait a minute. You think being covered in hot tar is not meant to kill?

[00:33:17]

I like to think of it as warm tar. Oh, like, yeah. You know, like a like a nice bath. Just have some shame and some stickiness in your life and some. Right. But not some death.

[00:33:29]

Exactly. And imagine how tough it must be to to then remove that tar from your body. What do you what do you use to remove tar. I really have no clue.

[00:33:37]

And the sneezing evolved. I think that's the other thing with the tar, they would tar your body, you could move your arm, you could do anything. And then the feathers sneezing. This going to take me. What do you mean? Coughing Imagine me tarred and feathered.

[00:33:53]

Wow. Why did you do that?

[00:33:55]

To just turn me. I mean, he deserved it, you know, enjoyed the labor. She named SBM Radio Start.
