0:00Let's clear the air about hybrids with Kia. I live in Pasadena, so my Kia Telluride Turbo Hybrid has to do a little of everything. School bags, speech chairs, a grocery run, I swore would be small. And somehow there's still room in my sister-tex. I'm landing in Burbank, come pick me up. It seats seven, has over 600 miles of range, and makes the 134 feel a little less like a test of character. Space, range, flexibility. The Kia Telluride Turbo Hybrid is built for the way LA moves.

And by the way, good Friday afternoon, everybody. Good to be with you. We have Festive's Friday, coming away right after 5 o'clock. The airing of the grievances.

2:01Fox four reporting this afternoon that Southwest Airlines has just announced it is adding a non-stop flight from Kansas City to Puerto Rico. Okay. Another international flight. This is good. We are Kansas City International. Get your passports handy. Okay. I would rather I keep waiting for you to say they're going to add a direct to Baloxie, which does not exist. You always have to fly into some like Houston. Or New- Yeah, Houston is a big layover. That's the city of the God for God. I would not hold my breath about it and direct to Baloxie. Yeah, not well. The thing is you want to say like not enough people go there. You would be wrong. Baloxie is now second to Vegas for gambling trips because it's so beautiful. It's easier to get to. It's much less expensive. Not the gambling so much if you lose everything on the tables.

3:03But you know, to go down there and get a really nice hotel, the golf is outstanding. And so they're golf golf golf and golf golf in the golf. You're golfing golf. Sound exactly the same. Golf in the golf. The golf of Mexico. Is that what you're talking about? And golf. Whack. Which one's better? Both very good. You golf and O-Golf. Yeah. You golf and I'll go to the golf. Yeah. Okay. Correct. In text line, we were kidding. We know Puerto Rico is a United States territory. It's not an international flight. It's an old inside joke. And when Dana won the price is right and won a trip to Puerto Rico and said, I said, you gave up. Can I tell the truth? It's been so many years. I don't even remember what I said. So Dana was incredibly tight-lipped as she was required to be because the price is right was recorded like what three, four months before it aired. It was a long way. And Dana, for those of you who are new to the show, won the whole damned thing. Everything got a car, got a trip to Napa Valley,

4:05and got a trip to Puerto Rico. And I did not know this until Dana won the price is right that the game show taxes in California are extremely steep. And so you don't even leave the state with that car until you've paid the taxes on it. I had to call my dad. And most people can't do that. So you know, you win this amazing trip to, you know, Ann Ardickon, it's $30,000. Well, you're not leaving until you pay about $10,000 in taxes. So Dana said, I kept the car, but I'm going to sell it to recoup the money we paid on the taxes and then make a little profit. We kept the trip to Napa Valley, but we gave up. We didn't even accept the trip to Puerto Rico. And I said, Dana, you don't want to go to Puerto Rico and the car being the beaches, the sun. And Dana goes, I've already been to Mexico. Jason. Yeah. So anyway, it is now sort of a bachelor party destination and also just guys and gals trips.

5:13I, I cannot speak more highly of the experiences we've had down there. And not just because mom and dad, there is so much to do down there. I know they have invited you again and again, I do need to go to Scott. You would love ocean springs. I need to get down there as well. But Dana, I've got to be honest with you. I've literally never heard anyone in my life other than you say, I'm going to Blocsy. You got to, you got to know where to go. Okay. And one of my longtime girlfriends here in Kansas City, who a lot of you would know, like knows a lot of people, like invited to George Bush's inauguration, like that kind of gal, right? One of my dear friends, they just got a house in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, because it is just that lovely. Is it affordable? Mississippi? Well, I know, but like $6 to build a house. I know, but on the coast, those have to be semi-expensive, right? You would be stunned.

6:13Okay. Near the water, you would be absolutely stunned. There are so many neighborhoods in Kansas City that are much more expensive, Scott, including yours. I live in Islam. Yeah, I'm telling you, you would be surprised how easy it is to go. Now, they got their own problems. You know, they've got, you know, if you, yeah, no, it's not, he's Sam Stevie. Dentistry? You know, they are, they are 49 or 50th and a lot of metrics, but if you're looking for a place to retire, they just say and don't discount it. They're 49th or 50th in every metric. They got some problems down there where it's health-related, a lot of diabetes. Financially related. Latted diabetes. Lot of diabetes. Stental. Sam Stevie. They're dental. Just fine. Cousins marrying cousins. Although my dad likes to tell this story, it is almost too laid back to the point that, you know, once they went to the bank to make a deposit at like 10 or 11 AM on a Tuesday,

7:19there was a sign on the door that says, be right back Katie had her baby. No way. I swear to you that happened. That's awesome. He goes people down here just, you know, it's, they go at their own pace and that pace is not in full throttle. Okay. It's like they shut down a bank. Please sure you're not supposed to do that. Well, that sounds like a life I could enjoy. God, you would love it. Absolutely love it. Anyway, I would definitely do need to take them up on the offer. It's very kind. And so at some point I will get down there soon. A couple of things today. We have speaking of Mississippi, we have a junior at Ole Miss. My family's known this family for for a long time and little buddies mom posted on Facebook today, something very special. He's in a hospital bed. And I zoom in and I'm like, oh my gosh, what the heck is going on the grant. And it's for a very good reason. He is from here again, goes to school at Ole Miss and saved somebody's life today.

8:20And he is going to join us on the program from Mississippi at 315 this afternoon. And we are very excited for that. Coming up after the break, have you guys heard about this missing couple in Missouri? We've had this in our stack a couple days. We've got to talk about it. It has gone national as it should. We have a missing husband and wife in their 70s. Their dog is missing. Their car's, their keys, their cell phones. Everything is still at home. Investigators were contacted after a family didn't hear from them for about a week. Today, they are out there with dogs, drones. This is in a pre-rural area. How do a husband and wife just vanish from the face of the earth without a trace? And again, not a silver alert. They went into a car and they're in a ditch somewhere. Cars are still on the property, Scott.

9:24So they don't think they just opened the door and both just kind of wandered off into the woods or something? One of the neighbors went by. It's my understanding. And saw the front door wide open. Front door was wide open. The screen was shut, but the front door was wide open. They thought that was odd. And then I think they got in touch with family. Family was like, this is weird. We haven't heard from them. Authorities go in. They cannot find them. And it's been, I think we're working on two weeks. Was anything missing? Do we know? Police have not said. And a good friend and listener, long time listener of the program, lives on the rural road where this happens, where this happens, where the house, whatever happened, this house is at the end of her, where she lives. And she's going to call in and give us an update on that. She's actually, it's so remote she's trying to get to higher ground. She's having some cell phone issues, but we're going to try for her after the break. Tony Romo and CBS sports have parted ways, according to the network announcing today, months after the former quarterbacks July arrest for driving while intoxicated.

10:29The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback was arrested in Milwaukee on July 23rd. After a traffic stop court record showed that one of the arresting officer said he detected a strong odor of alcohol on Romo. Does anybody else read into this? They wanted him gone. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Because getting a D.Y., I'm not minimizing it. It's serious and it's foolish and it's stupid, especially in the age of an uber. But this tells me Romo was highly paid. He didn't, the head of CBS sports pay him a visit at his home. And said, you need to start doing a little bit more research and work. About halfway through the first season, they went in and sat down and said, we get it, Tony, you were in the sport for a very long time, but you don't know the modern players. And your job is to talk about the modern players, not like, yeah, we called that the old tractor pull back when I was playing just because you did does not mean you're going to be great at describing. Yeah. Right. And I think I never was a huge fan of his. I thought he was very boring, very boring.

11:31See, I found him obnoxious. I just just didn't think he had much to add. And I think, you know, anytime they're looking for a reason to get rid of you and you hand it to them on a platter. Here we are. 913-586-7798 Dana Wright, Sam Steve of the Third. My name is Scott Parks. Hey, if you miss a segment, be sure to check out the Dana Parks podcast. You can follow us on Apple podcast on Spotify or wherever you get your podcast. A mystery in Southwest Missouri, far Southwest Missouri. This is from People magazine. A couple in their little dog had been missing for two weeks after they vanished from their home in far Southwestern Missouri over the weekend. Officials announced that they were searching for Leo Lindeman, who is 73 and his wife Catherine, who is 74. They disappeared in the Anderson area. That's in McDonald County. While a couple is believed to have disappeared roughly Wednesday,

12:33September 16th, they were reported missing more than a week later on Thursday, September 24th. Authorities have obtained a search warrant for the home enabling investigators to dust for prints and search their home and surrounding area. Officials also obtained electronics and some trace evidence that may be helpful as the investigation continues. Joining us on the KMZ hotline is Alana, who is not necessarily a neighbor. That's not how it works in rural parts of the country, but lives in the area. Alana, thank you for joining us. Hey, thank you. Well, I'm so sorry we're talking under these circumstances, but when did you first know something was wrong? How did you hear about this? I probably like everybody else. Just social media. I don't really, I don't know the couple, and I don't live on the same road, but I do live in the area. It is obviously very rural and very wooded and very hilly, but very small communities, buying village only probably 800 people,

13:34and I think Anderson probably even less. So houses are spread out and we're kind of out in the woods alone. And my understanding is they were on a dirt road and possibly the last house on the road. So they didn't know but they probably would have seen it. I mean, we were on almost vendors and and Yeah, shoot Alana, we lost you there at the end and now we have you back. Are you seeing the activity though? The four wheelers and the helicopters overhead and all of that stuff? No, we are several miles from where they were their house was, so we haven't really seen anything. So Yeah, you're on 200 acres when you say hilly terrain, like, and I don't know this couple is in their 70s and there's a wide, you know, 70 to 80. There's a wide swath of what that could mean, right?

14:36With mobility and all of that stuff. Is this an area that you would maybe take off and go hiking? I mean, kind of describe the area. Yeah, it's very hilly, very terrain. And I don't know the couple. I do know that my dad will be 88 next month and he is, he can still climb those hills. But he is kind of a phenom though, so he's not really your normal 88 year old. So, you know, I just not uncommon. I don't think for people to go on walks and go on hikes. And it's very it's a very outdoors. I mean, it's very close north by Saracanthal. There's a lot of he, you know, hiking and mountain biking and things like that. I have no idea if they did that, but it would not be uncommon for a couple to go hiking on their property at all. And I mean, we do that. We're younger. We're only 53, but we we hike in the woods. All winter. One of the one of the neighbors, Alana is quoted as saying today, they have some security cameras on their property. The neighbors do. And video from

15:42those cameras doesn't show anything out of the ordinary or suspicious. But you and I were texting about this earlier. How do two adults and their dog just disappear into thin air? It's it is just weird. It's just weird. I don't know. Not again, not, you know, you would think that if their neighbors had cameras, they would pick up a car or something out of the ordinary. I mean, no, ours. Where do we have cameras? Somebody pulls in our driveway. We're going, there's going to be evidence of it. But it's just it's very weird. I mean, I you would just think that maybe they did go for a walk and something happened to them. That's I could see that happening. I hope it was something like that and out something more. Yeah, and bad. So yeah. Well, if one of them had just wandered off, I would imagine that the prevailing thought with law enforcement would be, you know, what we call

16:45a silver alert. They just wandered off, got lost. You know, they are in their 70s. It's not elderly, but it is older. But when two of them to Dana's point, when two of them go missing and their dog is missing and they left their cell phones in their homes, that starts to get a little suspicious. Exactly. I mean, we don't go anywhere at that cell phone. Brian and I, we've hiked alone, we've hiked together, you know, all over and it's very healing. It's very rough terrain. We do that with our dogs. I mean, all the time in the winter, when there's no kicks, you know, we don't do it in the summer. And that's another thing. Be weird to go hiking unless you had a really clear path in the woods in the summer. The kicks down here are just terrible. That's yeah. And it's kind of a wintertime thing for us, but never without a cell phone ever. I mean, just for safety reasons, you know, so it's just weird. Well, you keep in touch with us if you hear anything and we're going to keep hoping this comes to a good resolution. I think as every day passes, I think,

17:49you know, we're all more and more worried that, you know, that it would be tough to be out there this long without food, without water, but we just don't know. So if you hear anything, keep us posted. Yep. I sure will. Thanks guys. I want to be real. Thank you for the call. They say that they searched about 15 acres yesterday, which would be a drop in the bucket of what we're talking about here. Of course, nothing was found or that would explain maybe what has happened here. Relatives brought a private drone operator to the property this week too. They've got search and rescue teams out there. They have dogs. I don't know what else they can do. I would think the most likely answer here is they are somewhere on or around that property on their property or just you go walk out for a walk with the dog, but how far could they have gotten? And with all those drones up in the dogs, wouldn't they have found something by now? And the story went on to say in

18:49people magazine that they are an extremely private couple that a lot of the people who live in the area don't really know, no of them, but don't know them. But why would anybody just go to the point just walking off and going for a walk? Why would you do that without your cell phone? Okay, so we talked about this in the newsroom. And I think it was Sam that said we go walking all the time without our phones. And I said, you have lost your mind. You take your phone and turn it off. Like if you don't want things, you don't want to be bothered on your walk, that's one thing. Wouldn't you still take your phone? And if you take nothing away from this conversation, like take that away in case something happens, how you get struck by lightning? Someone falls and is bleeding and you're three miles away from your property, you need to call someone for help, even if you can't get cell service, they would be able to track you based on your whereabouts from your phone. They would be able to find you. Well, I go on walks all the time without my phone. Oh, I would never. I never leave the house without my phone. I also live in a neighborhood.

19:53I still don't think it matters. I'm a trend where people are going by all the time. I think it would be different if I lived in a rural area and I was walking, you know, miles into the woods and miles out of the woods. Absolutely. I would take my phone just in case I took a wrong turn and needed to pull up my maps and kind of reorient myself because as we've talked about on this program, it's very easy to get lost in the woods. And even as human beings, if we think we know where we're going, we tend to wander left. And so we may have thought we made the right term, but made the wrong turn. But to Dana's point that I made out in the newsroom and to your point, Scott, if I'm walking around Waldo, I don't need my phone. That's exactly when you need it, Sam, because you have said you have walked by some characters. And I'm sure they don't mean you harm. But, you know, you walk by someone with mental health issues. And I am surprised that you don't take your phone, turn it off, but keep it. And I think the reason we're having this like split down the middle between this conversation is because women, I guarantee you 99% of us would not

21:01leave the house without our phone to go on a walk because we're I'm just going to say this is going to be gender split by gender. I can see like I'm a guy. I'm going to go walk with my dog. I don't need a phone. I don't think there are very many women that would leave without a phone just in case. Hmm. See, I wish we didn't live in that world. Let me just say on the trails around my home, you can see a house from every part of the trails, which means somebody could see you. Sure. And it is the traffic, especially in the morning when I'm walking Lizzie, the traffic is so heavy with kids riding their e-scooters to the middle school, or people jogging, other people walking their dogs. So you're out walking, Scott. Yeah. And God forbid a kid on an e-scooter is struck by a car. You there are no roads. You would want your phone. Like I just I could think of a hundred reasons why like right now you would want to be able to call 911. There are no cars. And if the kid hit another kid on an e-scooter, both of them have their phones. I guarantee it. I am very concerned

22:04for this couple. I hope it ends up in a good resolve. But yeah. And unless they have some outbuilding on their property somewhere that they didn't think to check and they're just down no because relatives are there. They would know that. Yeah. Relatives would know that. And if you went camping, certainly you would take your phone, right? Yes. I mean, if we're just spitballing here, but if somebody took them for what end and saved me the Savannah Guthrie comparison, what end would it be to take an older couple and kidnap them? You're right. I mean, with in the Savannah Guthrie case, her mother Nancy, I believe is her first name. Extortion. Exactly. I will tell you this. Reporters asked, I think it was yesterday. Reporters asked, have you looked at their bank accounts? And the sheriff replied, we are waiting on

23:06the proper warrants to be signed to get that done. Now why that took two weeks or we can, I don't know what the judges really busy in the Donald County Missouri. I was surprised to hear that. We because that's the first place. Absolutely. I would look at the bank accounts. If there's no activity on the bank accounts, you know, maybe they decided screw this. We don't want to be here right now. And it's nobody's business. And we're going off to Vegas. Like I don't know that the bank account would at least show the activity. The population of McDonald County is 23,000. I'm sure the judges are not that busy. 913-586-7798-586-7798. Here on Danden Parks. We have Festus Friday coming away right after the five o'clock news, the airing of the grievances. Let's go to the phones. Cody in Shawnee. Hello Cody.

24:10Hey, good afternoon. Good afternoon. Thank God. I just wanted to say that I believe that people should take their cell phones with them, no matter what. And you know, what might happen out here. I mean, I was telling Stevie that a neighbor in mine collapsed down the street. And luckily, I, you know, I drove by, tried to unfortunately, he passed right there in his driveway. But I mean, you know, everybody that was driving by, this decided or even looked out the window, not, you know, not to really call or, you know, look at, at an emergency to say, hey, how can I step in? Another example, I saw a young lady getting picked up in a car while I was at work that obviously didn't belong to, you know, whatever was trying to get her, the police stopped them. And that was a possible kidnapping. So I mean, regardless, whether you're down the street, cross town, having your phone is key, because you just never know what might happen. And you could just be that one phone call away that

25:11could help save a life or, you know, eat that emergency contact. So regardless, I'm all for take it with you no matter where you go. Okay. I appreciate your point. And I hear you, there are sometimes I want to be out of touch. I don't want to be able to contact anybody. I don't want anybody to be able to contact me. We had another caller who couldn't hang on the line who brought up a point that there are in their 70s. You know, cell phones are a pretty modern thing. So 200 plus years we survive without cell phones. These particular, this particular couple, 50 years without cell phones. Maybe it just wasn't their thing. And you know, Dan and I both grew up at a time where the only phone you could use was on the wall at your house or on your parents' nightstand. I love that long cord wrapped into the other room and you're just listening in all the way into the other room. But, you know, I still romanticize and not in a perverted way, of course, but the idea of

26:17being without the ability to be contacted. Oh, sure. You know, if I'm going to the grocery store, I might go without my phone. If I'm going to the bank, maybe I'll go without my phone out. Just so that I can be alone. And I like it. I'm just saying, like, let's see you get a Jean-Mission Burke. That's great. Turn your phone off. What if you were going over to your neighbors, neighbors a couple doors down or something for dinner? I wouldn't take my phone to that. Back pocket turned on airplane motor off. Now, do we, is the access bad for our mental health as we kind of transition into whether or not we take our phones places? If you can't put it down, it's bad for your mental health. But the text line is coming up with any number of examples of, well, what if something bad happens to one of your family members? Yeah. Well, it's not going to change between the 20 minutes that it's going to take me to walk the rest of the way home. Well, it certainly would if you were calling 911 and you needed someone to call for help. You

27:20know what I mean? That's all I'm saying. In an emergency, you are blocking off your only exit to help. If you are alone and you don't take your phone, that's all I'm saying. Number of textures brought up the Indian Creek Trail Killer. I guarantee you all of those people had their phones on them. Great point. Well, they didn't make it out. That was execution style behind, behind. But you know what these devices have done to us and something in the text line is a great point. People live too much in fear of what could happen. I don't disagree with that. These phones, I think, have created in our minds this idea of I have to constantly be connected because I'm going to be walking down the trail and somebody is going to have a heart attack and just collapse on that. Well, I don't think constantly be connected. If you take it with you and leave it in your pocket or turn it off, you're not really connected. But you have an incation need to be. That's all I'm saying. I put, um, asked my mom and dad to put themselves back on

28:22life 360 because my mom had inadvertently shut it off. And I said, if you think I am pulling up life 360 to see where you are and Mississippi, you've lost your mind. I know you're either the casino or at home. The only two places she goes. I know that. However, if you're on a windy road some night, driving and, you know, that car flips, you know, it would be nice to know your last location so that we can go find you. But I agree with you on that. But if she's just going from her home, let me rephrase, uh, if she lived in my house, you're, you're familiar with my neighborhood. If she lived in my house and she just needed to go to the gas station, maybe grab a soda and fill up her tank. Yeah. There are so many cars that if something were to happen to her, they're going to be plenty of people to call 911 that someone would stop and help. Oh, right. I would hope so. Yes. Um, from the text line, this shows how addicted we have become to being

29:23connected at all times. Somebody else says, I always have my phone on me. But a lot of times I just leave it in the car when I go into different stores and stuff. Okay. And Scott will be very sorry, when or if something happens to his mom and no one can get in touch with him. There's always that one. You know, what if there's always the what if I can't live in that kind of that world of fear that something's going to happen? Scott, I sat here with respect and watched you stare obsessively at your cell phone when one of your children was in Europe. Well, it was also midnight over there. No, I don't think we need qualifiers. I'm just saying for every time you say, this is just we're so addicted. We don't need it. I laugh because I've watched you stare at that screen when she's six thousand miles from here. And I remember I joked at the time I go, what do you think you're going to do? I'll see you honey in 10 hours. You

30:25know, I don't know. To be fair, that was bad for his mental health. I mean, for my mental health. A positive way. No, I know. I let it in my head. I give you both that point. Carol in Kansas City. Carol, hello. Hi guys. I was just going to tell you I I carry my phone everywhere. It's always in my pocket. I'm always worried about my grandkids, my kids, my husband worried about everything. One day I went to run some errands and it was going to be a long day. I forgot my phone. What I freaked out, of course, for a couple of minutes. And as the time went on, it was the best day I've had in so long because I wasn't nobody was calling me. I wasn't stressed out about anything except for what I was getting done. Now, what I do it on purpose, no, I probably wouldn't. But it proved to me that

31:26everybody took care of themselves and everything was going to be okay. Great story. Thank you, Carol. All right. Be well. JC online three. JC, hello. Hey, how you doing? We're doing well. Thank you. Here's the deal. I'm in my upper 60s and my wife is in her lower 70s. And we are finding ways constantly every day to deal away with the cell phones by a burner phone and just communicate only with that. We don't, yes, do we play games on to do that stuff? But we don't need all that. We don't need Facebook. We just wanted to call somebody or they call us and we're talking about getting the landline back again. So all the phone is used for is when you're traveling, you got to call somebody. We're going to be late. Whatever. We don't need all that stuff. Just don't need it because we didn't grow up with it. JC with a burner phone, that sounds so naughty. Mom and dad got a burner phone. How does a burner phone work? Why, why, it's not permanent, right? You know, you pay for like the minutes every month. Like you have it

32:31in case you need it, but you don't really use it. But people always talk about that. They threw away the, you know, when they come in to crime, they break it in half and then they stop on it and then they throw it in the water. So a flip phone and a burner phone are two different things. A flip phone can be a burner phone, but you can have a smartphone that's a burner phone. A burner phone is when you go into the gas station or electronic store or a big box store, any of them. And you buy one of those super cheap cell phones boost and then you buy on the same rack right next to it. Yeah, it's like boost mobile. There's a bunch of different brands and today is point just like back in the day with cell phones when you had to buy minutes and text messages, you buy a certain number of call minutes, certain number of text messages. So it is in no way linked to your identity. That's what makes it a burner phone. I wonder with all of the flock stuff and the AI stuff, if we're going to start seeing people go, you know, swing back the other way toward Kaczynski and I don't mean the murdering, but I did watch that movie last night. And one of the things he said was the only way

33:34to actually protect yourself from the technology is to live in a cabin in the woods, which as you know is what he did when we also said bombs using technology murdered all of the people, most of whom were not the intended targets. Okay, from the text line, I'm 25 and I have a flip phone. Uh-huh. When we get back headline out of Hollywood and you are going to say I knew it. Michael Douglas has a new book out. Title of the book is one hell of a ride. And if ever you watched one of his blockbuster movies in the 80s and you thought gosh, that really looks like they have some on screen chemistry. He is finally getting it. They've been lying about it for 40 years and I'll tell you who it is when we get back. We this was 1988. I would like to slow skate right now.

34:35Booth the happy homes. Michael Douglas revealing he and Kathleen Turner were once secret lovers. Okay. And admits they lied about it for 40 years. Says the pair had an intimate relationship while making the 1984 blockbuster, romancing the stone. Remember, there's a scene that they fall down the muddy cliff. She falls and he falls and lands in a very provocative spot. Face lands in her midsection. I knew that they were not acting. Michael Douglas is revealing a romantic relationship from his past when he kept secret for four decades in his new memoir, one hell of a ride. The two-time Oscar winner now 82 recalls how he and his romancing the stone co-star Kathleen Turner now 72 fell for each other while making the blockbuster in Mexico. I also remember there is a dance scene in that I remember weird things. There's a dance scene you guys in that movie where they are in

35:36Mexico and there's this great, you know, like salsa kind of band going outside. I remember she has a flower in her hair and they start dancing and I knew it. I could told you I was probably 10 years old when that movie came out and I knew there was something going on. I'd never seen romancing the stone said every man listening. It was a huge hit in the 80s. Yes. Let me see. Oh my. And I will go to my grave. Never seen them. One of the photos from the movie. I mean, you know, she tore her dress. You could see a lot of her leg. Did he mess around with Sharon Stone in the early 90s? That it doesn't go into but the following isn't expert from his book One Hell of a Ride. Kathleen was smart. She was funny. She was sexy with a deep, sultry voice that became her signature. I instantly liked her and we were immediately attracted to each other. We need that lady made the cat noise last week to call him. Oh my gosh. She's so great.

36:43The mother of the teenager who was murdered by Christophe Pikes as she believed she is owed an apology following this week's botched execution in Tennessee. Wednesday's execution as we talked about yesterday came 30 years after Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19 year old Colleen Slammer. Pike is in critical condition at a hospital receiving life saving care after her execution failed despite multiple lethal injections. Slammer's mother had traveled from her home in Florida to Nashville with her husband for the execution. It's hard. I broke down in tears. She said her name is May Martinez. She was laying on the table talking still laughing, picking up her head asked if anyone has apologized to her about this. She told the station no sir nobody apologized. I think that the state owes me a big apology. And as a mother, I failed her.

37:44I don't know what we're going to do with her yet. The answer is that's the answer I got. She told the station. I said, here we are 31 years and you're laughing in my face again. And that's what I feel like they did. All I wanted was justice. I was listening to some commentary earlier today. Legal analyst. I think it was on CNN who said, mark his words. This is the last execution in Tennessee for years and years or execution attempt. It won't come back for years and years and years. It was the same dingaling that botched this one with her that also botched the last one a year ago. I think it was. There was another botched execution earlier this year. In Tennessee, same guy. It was because they couldn't find a second vein for the second IV. And so they just had to stop. It couldn't give him. I don't know why you have to have two IVs going at the same time.

38:45That doesn't know. I had to make any sense. I don't really understand the method. And we talked about it yesterday. How you landed on whatever this concoction or cocktail of drugs is, as the most humane way to get it done. We know for a fact it's not humane. It's a very violent process. We know of other drugs that don't create a violent process that work very well. People die on the street with it all the time. I don't know. It feels weird to even say a drug that works well in this. Like I don't like ranking the possible ways we can carry this out because we're so bad at it. And we get it wrong. We just get it wrong. To me, if you get it wrong once, this is not going to work because it's too important. The state murdering one of its citizens in the name of justice for the 90% of the time it goes right, we can have that conversation. How do we continue down this road when we know about 10% of the time they get it wrong? You've always heard Sean O'Brien say you wouldn't make a living manufacturing parachutes with those odds. No fair point. You know,

39:48they just released a guy after 41 years on death row. 41 years. They'd had the blood all of this time. They run the blood and they're like, whoops, doesn't match. I don't we don't do it well. And there are any qualities in the way it is, meet it out, hand it out, whatever you want to say. But for some people, I think they certainly qualify. I don't disagree with you, but I think my list is much shorter than yours. Serial killers, school shooters, and the kidnappers of children. That's my list is very short. Just kidnapping a child or kidnapping and killing and killing and all the other things that go with that. It's hard for me to like when you talk about Keith Nelson, who murdered Pamela Butler. You know, in those cases, I'm like, bye. See you. I don't see any. He died in prison. I need to look that up. As soon as I said that, discount the gruesome details of this case. I mean,

40:51if we're talking about extreme cases that make sense for this punishment, he was executed. He was good. Yes. Carrying a chunk of your victim's skull around in your pocket, I think qualifies. By the way, it does. lethal injection is the most botched form of execution. Somebody went and crunched the numbers. I ain't firing squad from 1890 to 2010. Roughly 3% of US executions have been botched. Under lethal injection, it is 7.2% are botched. Gas 5.4% hanging 3.12% electrocution failed 1.92%. I don't want to get to the weeds of the execution numbers. I really don't for a firing squad. I think zero. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go to that. Never failed. Yeah. I don't know what they're going to do in this case. I know it will be early next week before we know if she survives the weekend. They until her system, they can't reverse what has happened until her system gets

41:51rid of the toxins that the state put in her body. They are not going to know whether she ever comes back or if she's going to be in a medically vegetative state the rest for life. And then what do you do? She's alive. She's alive, but not alive. I'm plugger. Who? Who unplugged her? Dodgers aren't going to do it. Judge could order it done. Yeah. And then you just send in a martial or deputy. Just pull the plug 913 586 77798. Dan's got the news coming up in two minutes. Oh, deep purple. Yes, please. Thanks for listening to the Danah and parks podcast on KMBZ. Catch us online anytime on KMBZ.com or get the podcasts wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to the Danah and parks podcast on KMBZ. Tony, all everything you post stays up there in the cloud somewhere. Of course it is. Yeah. It can get you fired. The Portland Trailblazers fired their new television play by play broadcaster.

42:55Braden Bell is from the New York Post hours after they announced his hiring. After posts on Twitter resurface from Bell's past that featured massage, anistic and racist comments. The objectionable social media posts were made in 2012 and 2013 when Braden Bell was 15 years old, 15 and contained comments about Asian people. That's an air that's in quotes and used terms. I'm not going to say right now on the air to refer to women. They are derogatory terms. One starts with an S the other starts with the W. Bell is now 29 years old and unemployed after probably getting his dream job as the play by play TV announcer for the Portland Trailblazers. The Blazers said in a statement the Portland Trailblazers have zero tolerance racist, sexist and harmful. This does not represent who we are as an organization.

43:56Do we have to do better? Yes. But I would also ask who decided when they hired a play by play guy for the Portland Trailblazers to do a deep dive on his social media back to age 15. Are you who you were at age 15? I hope not. Oh god, I hope not for all of us. I was going to about to ask that exact question. I mean, I was a very angry child. And I've mentioned it before because this was a huge trend when I first started here at the radio station. People getting busted will say for things they posted when they were younger. So I went back and looked at my first ever Facebook posts. When I was 11 years old, I was very angry. I can't read a single one of those posts to you. It was all about hating life and blad, blad, blad, blad. That is in no way the person I am today. It's in no way the person I was when I started. I can't condone any 15 year olds comments about stuff like that. I just can't.

44:56But also what percentage of people are the same person at 15 they are at 29 and when in the answer is zero, I would hope zero. I just listen, I too can I condone you know, aside from like you're a hard carrying member of the KKK or something at 15 and you grow worse. What's like generally not okay to make jokes about women not okay to make jokes about Asian people. We're we're gonna sideline someone's career over a post he made when he was a child. Probably a sophomore in high school or freshman. Maybe a freshman in high school and he lost his dream job because hours after they initially hours. I don't even think he's called again. No, they said literally you know welcome so and so put this on social. This is who we've hired. See what my guess is that the team didn't do the deep dive. They put out a press release. Hey, we've hired Braden Bell. Yeah, you know, graduated from University of Oregon. I don't know where you went.

46:02And somebody else some internet sleuth went out and did a deep dive on all of his Twitter, all of his Facebook just to see if they could find something. And clearly they did. But from when he wants 15, you know, you'll hear people are age say a thousand times and two thousand times on a Sunday. I thank God. The internet didn't exist when I was a kid or the Twitter or Facebook didn't exist when I was a kid. And it is so true. Because the things I would have posted possibly when I was 15 years old. Oh, it would not have been good things. And I want to know who the people are that see that somebody gets a new job and think to themselves, you know what I want to do. I want to spend the next four hours scrolling back to this guy's Twitter posts from 15 years ago. Yeah, it that takes time. It does. Now let me give you a little y'all, but

47:04if you made the posts at age 30 and they are uncovered at age 45, that's a different story. Completely different story. And I don't know what the like cutoff age should be. But it's not 15. Well, no, and see at 15, he probably doesn't believe a single word he's typing. Yeah, probably at six followers. And he's just looking for attention. He's looking to get some shock value out of the things that he types. And oh, you guys hear what Brandon said on Twitter today, all right, you got to follow him. That is what he's trying to do. He's just trying to get your goat or shock you or be provocative. And again, I go back. If I had Facebook when I was 15, I probably wouldn't have this job today. I think it's a fool's errand to hold somebody responsible for what they wrote when they were a freshman in high school. Give me a break. Traditional pizza

48:09lovers have hurt your eyes. A famed frozen pizza company is doing something very bad. Tombstone pizza announcing this week that they're peddling their normal frozen pizzas. But topped with anyone pineapple. Nope. Don't tell me much worse, much worse. Candy cold. That is correct. Oh, come on. We have to put candy corn on everything and slap a label on it and say falls here. The company proudly wrote an oppressed release conjured in the spookiest corners of the internet. No, this Halloween season tombstone proudly presents the pizza nobody asked for. And frankly, we regret absolutely nothing. Introducing the limited edition tombstone candy corn pizza an unexpected flavor mash up from the official pizza of Halloween candy corn on pizza. It's weirdly good. I may be reaching the age where I no longer like candy corn. Oh, this is. We're maturing

49:09and growing up. I every year the first time I see it on the shelf at the grocery store, I buy a bag. Oh, the first and not really food. Do you eat it? Last year, I think we went through probably 10 bags over the month of October. Is that the most purchased Halloween candy? No, cherry mash for sure. I bet it's Reese's. I bet it's Reese's while you're looking that up. I'm the Jesus. The entire bag in three settings and it's grown up. It's disgusting now. What did you say was data? Reese's peanut butter cups. That is correct. Number one, care to guess any of the others in the top five. They're very popular candies. Snickers or milky way. No, milky way is number eight. Is candy corn on the list? Candy corn is not in the top 10. Oh, oh, oh, uh, Twix. Twix is number nine.

50:10Put you on your misery. Snickers is number five. We already do that. Kit Kat is number four. You are on the phone. Regular M&Ms is number three. Okay. Peanut M&Ms is number two. Oh, that's one of the greatest candies of all time. And I don't like candy very much. And Reese's peanut butter cups is number one. All right. Good. Let me get back. I'm super excited. You guys know how passionate I am about organ donation about be the match and doing the cheek swab, especially young people, people of color. They need you to swab your cheek. You could actually save a life. It's not difficult anymore. It doesn't have to be painful. There's not a whole lot involved to it. And a friend of our family's kid who grew up in Leewood is away at college, walked by one of these booths the other day that said, you know, be the match. Do your cheek. You could save a life, save to life this week. Good. And I saw his mother's post and I said, we are going to get him on the air. He is recovered. He is back at Ole Miss where he is a junior and we will get to him straight

51:12ahead on Dana and Parks. Stick with us. Couple quick programming notes. Don't forget if you miss a segment. You can check out the Dana Parks podcast. You can also follow us on Apple podcast on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. We have Festive Friday coming away right after the five o'clock news. The airing of the grievances we do it every Friday at five o'clock. So I told the story before when my daughter was at KU, she got really involved in be the match. And there was a kiddo that lived not far from her. And they had a lot of mutual friends in common. And he was in remission for Cancer Scott and that cancer came back. And so a lot of the kids on campus would have been four years ago, mobilized and started doing cheek swab drives on campus to try to find him a match. And while he ended up finding

52:14a familial match down the road, they ended up matching 11 students with people around the world and those students saved those lives. And so if you can't save the person you're trying to save, this happens a lot, Scott. You can end up saving someone half a world away that you don't even know. And this happened with a local kiddo and a friend of our families named Grant. We are so proud of him. And when I saw the post this morning, we had to get ahold of him and we want to hear his story. Grant Garberg, I believe you are back at Ole Miss. Are you calling for Mississippi? Yes, I am. I'm calling from Oxford, Mississippi. Well, we are so proud of you. You're a junior there now studying accounting, right? Yes. How did this whole thing start for you, Grant? How did you know that there was this need to do the cheek swab? So it was really a random kind of day. Me and my roommate had just gone out of our accounting class and we were walking on campus and we saw an NMDP which is formally known as Be2Match had a pop-up

53:19like cheek swab test because there was this young girl that had leukemia and they were trying to find a match for her. So we did the cheek swab kind of really heard nothing back, but we were registered. And then about a month ago, I received a call through NMDP saying that I was a perfect match for this woman with cute myloid leukemia who was Susan 51 and that's all the info they really could give me. And then, going contact, kept up in contact, they gave me a lot of information. It made it so much easier than I thought it was going to be. And really just kept talking at them and they made it so much easier for me. I did five till grasp them shots before donating which basically got my stem cells out of the bone marrow and put them in my bloodstreams. That during donation they could just take my blood and then they filter out the stem cells and then put

54:21the blood back into my other arms. How long would you say the process to grant? How long were you like in the hospital to actually do the donation? The donation took three hours, but I was in there. I had to do my last shot in the morning before and then they let me get breakfast. They ran another lab and they set me up and it was really painless and easy. Did they fly you to like another state to do it or could you do it where you were? So they flew me to Chicago because they had only like five like clinics where they do it and they were all both besides Chicago. So they got me and my mom who came with me, flights hotel reservations and covered dinner, food costs and also ubers. I know how proud your mom must be and this woman that you saved 51 years old that's right around all of your mom's age and my age and all of the mom's ages

55:23in your grade grant and I know she's very, very proud of you. Thank you. Yeah, it was really nice having her next to me the whole time for the process. Have you met the woman for whom she received your donation? I have not now. So they told me that it's they kind of keep an anonymous for a while. Yeah. But it around like six to nine months she has the chance to like reach out to me because I have no they don't give me any information on her besides the fact that she has leukemia and she's 51 in a woman. Would you want to meet her? Absolutely. I mean I was I was kind of bummed when they told me I had a weight like six and nine months. You're like I want a meter. Yeah, I was like come on, I want a meter at least talk to her. But hopefully she reaches out because it would be really great to meet her. Well, will you keep us posted and let us know if that happens. I just think it's a beautiful thing and we need more young people to donate and thank you for clarifying. It was

56:27be the match. It's now giving at nmdp.org. It's a new and we're going to put all this on social grant so that more young people see it. It's nmdp and I'm going to put it on social so everybody see because Sophie would say it's not be the match anymore. But what you are doing is matching and you saved a life over a few hours in Chicago with your mama and and we're just so proud of you. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me on. You bet. Grab me well. Thank you, man. Thank you. All right. Take care. That is Grant Garberg from Lee Wood currently attending Ole Miss. Nmdp and I'll put that on my social channels. Story here from the New York Post could a new drug that makes fat cells self-destruct be the next big GLP one. It's currently called CBL 514. Very catchy name. It targets fat cells and a new study shows it was effective in slimming down participants' waistlines. Early data suggests it's effective at keeping it off too. While GLP ones mostly decrease fat, they also shed up to 25% vital lean mass and after stopping GLP ones,

57:30people often regain two thirds of the weight that they lost within a year. So you have to stay on them. Some experts say CBL 514 could turn out to be a more fundamental obesity therapy than GLP one drugs like ozempic. It's an injectable drug but rather than slowing digestion and decreasing appetite like GLP ones, this new drug works more locally. It blocks a critical way for fat cells to survive, causing them to die off at the injection site. Most people get it in their stomach. Sounds like asteroids to me. It might be. It might be. Good. Give me some CBL 514. That's what I'm going to do. A little bit more health news here. A new report published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology finds most Americans are not getting enough fiber to maintain a healthy heart. In fact, only 6% of American adults meet the recommended daily fiber intake. Adults age 19 to 50 should be getting 25 grams of fiber

58:34fiber per day and women for women and 38 grams per day for men. The report found that on average, women were getting just 15 grams of fiber that's 10 grams less than they need. While men were only consuming 17 grams of fiber per day on average. What was that when we were growing out that you would put in the in water and our grandparents would drink it? Meta musul. Yes, Meta musul. That even came up in conversation with my mom and aunt Sue today. Boy, we are aging in real time. No, I need my Meta musul. I did not participate in the conversation and I won't say who was taking what, but my mom and aunt Sue were having this conversation and I just sat back in silence thinking, what am I listening to? One of them was taking mirror lax this morning. Oh boy. That sounds lovely. And the other was taking Meta musul. I'm like, what is going on? In what kind of alternate universe am I living in? We're two old women

59:36are talking to each other about the, I took my mirror laxious woman. Meta musul would be pooping for weeks. Take my boniva noon. By the way, fiber, you know, you know, Major League Baseball recently introduced the robot umpire. All right. Give me the, yes, give me the stats. I don't, I don't, but give me the stats. Okay. So on challenged calls, okay, which can be made by, I believe the batter or the catcher and pictures can also challenge call, I believe robot umpires overturned 54% of challenged calls in the first season of the automated ball strike system. Uh, who was more successful in getting a call overturned a batter or a catcher? I think the catcher. That is correct. Yeah. The catchers know, the catchers know that strike zone down. Have you ever seen them do it? And Salvi will challenge it. I want the statistics of all of the catchers in Major League Baseball, who has had the most successful challenges. Salvi has to be at the top of that list. He will challenge something

1:00:41Scott when they say it's a ball and Salvi is like, no, we're going to use a challenge. That was a strike. He will be correct to a quarter of an inch, a quarter of an inch or less, a tenth of an inch because it'll say, you know, the little uh, what do you call it? Kairon comes up over it and says, all right, we're going to challenge. And in seconds, it shows where it was. And it's like this close, but he's right more often than he's right. I'm looking. I'm looking. Hang on. All right, catchers, uh, Contreras led all catchers. One hundred eighty five challenges. Um, Salvi is not even in the top five. Oh gosh, that surprises me. Salvi door prezes name doesn't even appear in this story and it's four pages long. Okay. What is it that you like about the robot on Piers? And then I'm going to tell you what I don't like about it. First of all, it's limited and how often you can use it. And as long as it stays that way, it's like two. I'm, yeah, unless you get it right, then you can do it again. Correct.

1:01:43And I just, I like that it makes baseball an even more accurate, based sport than it already is. I'm trying to figure out which team was the most successful. Cincinnati Reds got more runs project what they call projected runs. Um, out of challenges 16.8 projected runs. You also have to know when to challenge and why to challenge and all this stuff, which, which, here's my issue. I don't like completely taking the human element out of it and this doesn't do that, but I don't like completely taking the human element out of it. And, but we do instant replay in football. And certainly did the runner beat the first basement, right? But, but Johnny will tell you this, you have to be so good to be behind the plate as an umpire. They also have statistics on the best umpires. Okay. Even the ones who got it

1:02:44wrong more often than their colleagues, the percentage of when they were wrong is so low. Scott, like we looked this up a few months ago when this whole thing started and they ranked the umpires too. And even the worst of the worst umpire is so incredibly precise. Like it's just, you know, they're all stacked on top of each other. But even the worst of the worst is like would never even you couldn't just call somebody up from college or something and say, hey, stand behind open and try to do this. They're all so good. What I find fascinating is the accuracy of the calls on the first base umpire. Because you're talking a fraction of a fraction of a second difference. Staring at that bag. And they, and they're listening for the pop of the glove and staring at the bag. So when did we just get rid of the human umps? I don't think a little light panel on this on this side of the uh I want to hear. Yeah. And I could just

1:03:45strike put up an axe. No. So if it's a ball put up a, you know, I will tell you this, the same arguments were made years ago when instant replay was brought into football. Why don't we just get rid of the up part? We love it. We love us. We love the instant replay. 913 586 777 985 867 867 988 here on Dana in parks. Story here from the US today. A bag of cash sitting on top of a bank of America ATM put a Texas man in a very weird situation. While many would have kept the money he searched for the rightful owner. The 37 year old from Lewisville, Texas found the bag at about 10 o'clock in the morning on August 3rd at a bank of America ATM in the Texas city about 30 miles north of Dallas. A second bag containing 19 checks was also at the scene. The man whose name has not

1:04:49been confirmed, but who local outlets report works as a barber was at the ATM with a 42 year old woman when they spotted the bags. Information on one of the bags appeared to link the money to a nearby Chick-fil-A. So he drove to the restaurant to try to return it. After a manager told the man the cash did not belong at that location. He called 911 and officers responded to secure the bags and determine who owned them. Inside the cash bag, by the way, was a bank receipt showing how much money it was supposed to contain, police counted the cash twice and used digital currency counters to verify the total. Would you care to guess how much money was in that bag? I would guess not a dollar, not a dollar was missing. I would have guessed like $10,000. That's got to be a pretty big bag. $128,514. Yes, favorite student front road didn't right?

1:05:51Pre-tell, how does one leave a money bag, which would have to be of some significant size at that amount? And wait. Just sitting on top of an ATM. How? Who? Maybe the manager of the store, probably looking at his phone. Yeah, scrolling. They now think it was Brings Technician, actually. He had service the ATM and quote, accidentally left the bag on top of the machine. Checking his reels. Couldn't wait till he got back in the car. Listen to some Rob Dyle, was he? Okay. The man did not ask for a reward or seek public attention after turning over the money. That's how we don't know his name. Like he's just, you know, one, do the right thing. A good human who did the right thing. Bank of America has expressed its gratitude to him. Detectives are saying they have never in all of their time seen someone turn in that much cash.

1:06:57I will be furious if Brings does nothing for this man. Well, they did, they probably did something to the driver who left it behind. Yeah, he's left without a job. He doesn't have a job. They won't do anything for him. Why? Not a dang thing. Would you rather have $128,000 and a guy that's probably in HR today, getting a stern talking to, or would you rather have $0? I would like to think, I would like to think that I would do the right thing. And I would turn it in. Quoting here from one of the, it was actually the police chief. I have never had a case like this before ever. He says the man's actions were straight forward. He believed the money belonged to someone else. Tried to get it back. Person didn't even blink. They took it directly to where they thought it was supposed to be. Can't confirm he got nothing. That makes me angry.

1:08:00To your point, Scott about doing the right thing in that situation, you have to. Because I'll go back and look. It's going to be on camera. Exactly. If you stole it, I was wondering, is that like the theft of mislein property? It probably is. And every bank has a camera pointing in every direction. Of course. It's not going to take long until they realize after going over, well, there's the bag on top of the ATM now. If every bank has a camera in every direction, why didn't they notice it immediately? What do you think someone would have been like, I'm sorry. What is that? If the tellers are right there, did no one think what's that up there on the, I guess it could have been a Saturday or Sunday. He founded at 10 o'clock in the morning. Yeah, brings we check the footage and it was a middle-aged man, roughly six feet tall, wearing flip flops in a hoodie, weird combination. We know exactly who that is. We know exactly who that is. Amazon prime customers could be getting some refunds. Okay. Amazon is issuing refunds to eligible Amazon customers

1:09:05under a revised $2.5 billion settlement with the federal government to resolve allegations at the retailer deceptively enrolled customers in its prime subscription service. The FTC said last month that more consumers qualify for refunds from Amazon and also raise the maximum payment. That too. Is it $128,000? It is $200. As of September, Amazon had refunded more than $845 million to customers. The total settlement was $2.5 billion. Yeah. Again, I tried to fill one of these things out the other day and for the time it's going to take you to do it. In some cases, the evidence you have to provide that you were wrong somehow is that worth your $10 that most people are going to get back, I would say no. No. Of course. I told you last Friday, Sarah was over at the House for Panking Friday. I can't remember the company, but it was, oh, it was CBS. She's like, yeah, Dad,

1:10:11apparently I got an email about a refund from CBS and I said, well, what does it say? She read it to me and I said, what is the maximum you can get? And she said, hang on. Oh, $10. And I said, honey, don't even waste your time. I'll give you $10 for not filling it out. Yeah. Because you have to give out all your information. You have to, to your point, Dana, provide proof that you don't have. I didn't save my receipt from CBS that day because I don't save it any day. And I don't really need $10 that badly. Local story here from Fox four last night, the Alaythabord of Education. These are never easy decisions, nor fun for a school board. The Alaythabord of Education voted to close down six district schools and continue with a consolidation of two others. During last night's meeting, board members voted in favor of closing down. These are all

1:11:13elementary schools here. Black Bob Heritage, Scarborough, Tomahawk, and walnut grove, and also Indian Trail Middle School. The closures will take effect following the end of this school year, according to the board of education and fairway elementary and ridge view elementary are both expected to close following their consolidation with north view and central. Yeah. Trees. Parents are not happy, obviously. And nobody would be happy if your kid goes to one of these schools, neighborhood elementary schools, and for low enrollment or whatever, it ends up getting closed. I would be more concerned because a lot of those folks in those neighborhoods probably don't have elementary school age kids. Maybe they're in middle school, maybe they're in high school, maybe they've graduated. I would be more concerned with what do you do with those properties? Who's in charge of renting, selling, demolishing? Do we have any say in what goes in there?

1:12:13Well, you know, my brother and I were on a walk yesterday morning because he was just in town for a couple of days. And we went on a walk down the trails without cell phones. And I have three elementary schools within two miles of my house. Yep. Three. In fact, two of them are within half a mile of my house. They're virtually right across the street from each other. And I wonder sometimes, you know, because those elementary schools were built as those neighborhoods were going up about 20, 25 years ago. And, you know, young families were moving in and buying these homes. And what happens then? Well, the kids got to get educated. So we start building a bunch of elementary schools and then we start building a couple of middle schools in the area. And of course, a high school. Well, how long until people like me keep their home, but don't have kids in the home anymore? 12 years. From maybe I'm saying that's what happens when the population boom is 25 years ago in that area

1:13:14and nobody is moving out of those neighborhoods. That's right. So take me and the needs across the street, for example, when we moved into that house, there were two kids in our home. And how many now? None. What about your neighbors around you? The needs. They are the only two people that live in that house now. And they've been in that house for over a decade. So when they moved in, their kids were in elementary school. Well, now they're both in college. And my neighbors to the to the left of me, their daughter just left for college two years ago and they have a senior. Also from the text line, if budgeting and funding was the issue, did they get rid of any administrators? Don't give me started. Same. Do not. I'm not taking the bet on for you. You would have to get rid of five principles because there's no location. Six. There's no location for them to be. I think the texture was referencing. Superintendent. Yeah. I know. I know. I'm just saying. But like, you know, the teachers will be

1:14:15scattered out in other teaching jobs. The you're not going to take, I don't know how many schools are in the entire district. You're not going to take those six principles and plug them within the same district after shuttering six schools. Why would you keep the teachers? It's obvious that they're not no fence to teachers. Yeah, but would you not need it? But would you not have the right to then ingest them in other elementary schools that have openings is all I'm saying. Oh, sure. If they had an opening, yeah. But the principles, goodbye. Sounds like we have six properties ready for data centers. 913. Yeah. Oh, I know. By the way, there's an update on a second data center in the city of Dessoto, a second one. 913. 5867. 9898. Let's go to Darrell in Gladstone. Darrell, hi. How do you do? We do. I lived in Elisa for 17 years.

1:15:16And I still think of the area where these schools are closing as being the quote new side of town. And I am just kind of floored that they aren't closing them on the more gentrified side of the community. Well, and that I remembered when I drove for the Johnson County bus years ago in 89, some schools in Sonny Mission District were already turning into resource centers and the like. This is before we had internet and and laptops and everything. What is a resource center? I've heard that term many times before. I just don't know what it is. Well, isn't that where they get books and printed materials back when that was in Bogue? Okay. And it was a, you know, it had been a grade school for 40 years. So and then I remembered that the the then new grade school at 75th and prospect in the KC Mo district was new in 90 and was is already shut down. It's not near as old as some schools that we're still using all over this city. Sure. I think the people

1:16:19I what I told Sam was this is I'm starting to be a big picture guy. This might be a housing affordability crisis that causes folks who are unable to move up in house from their starter young married home. In any given area be at 75th and prospect or Sonny Mission is which was 67th and Lamar is about where. Or Olathe. They're still in the home that they that was their starter home. Yeah. There are no little kids there. Thus we don't need a school here. I can't believe Scarborough Elementary is on that list. I my mind is blown. All right. Darrell, I'm sorry and thank you for the call. Thanks to a rerun of America's most wanted police in Iowa have made an arrest in a in a deadly hit and run cold case from nearly 30 years ago, the Des Moines Police Department announcing a breakthrough this week related to the case of 64-year-old Leslie Ruby who was killed in a hit and run outside of his Des Moines home. Des Moines home on September 29, 1997. Who's on a tractor, wasn't he? Ruby was a retiree, a grandfather and a

1:17:25Korean war vet. Police say he was described by everyone in Newham is very loving and caring. Investigators were able to identify the suspect as then 28 year old Gerardo Garcia Michael. But police say he fled the state before he could be arrested. Oh, say they knew who it was back then, but he gave him the slip. The popular TV show America's most wanted aired an episode on the Ruby case in 1998, 29 years later, police say a rerun of that episode led someone to send a crime stoppers tip to investigators. Wow. That Garcia Michael was his neighbor. Wow. Here's what happened at the time, by the way, way back in 1997. The department's traffic unit found the vehicle. It's like smashed up on the front end. There's an old evidentiary photo of it. They found the vehicle. So they knew right away the driver of the vehicle. Who does the car come back to? It's this neighbor. Garcia Michael. He, by the way, was no longer in Iowa. He was in New Jersey.

1:18:28Marshalls were sent to his home. They arrested him. Des Moines police are working to extradite him back to Iowa. Says the police sergeant in Des Moines. It doesn't matter if it's 29 minutes or 29 days or 29 years after a crime. Getting answers for the family is one of the most important things that we can do. You get that knock. Do you know why they're knocking on your door? Do you think to yourself? No, I hope they're looking over their shoulder every single second of every single day, especially now with DNA stuff for murders and rapists. I hope every day they wake up. And they think, uh, it's the day they're going to find me. Huh? It was. Goodbye. The US Attorney's Office of Mississippi says authorities have established a link between the Craterim derivative found at the scene of the student's death there and a local vape tobacco and beer store. They arrested the owner and the clerk, the store clerk and son. So I can't pronounce the names. Forgive me. Uh, 51 years old and his son are charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. They appeared before a judge

1:19:32yesterday in Oxford, Mississippi, where it was determined that there was probable cause to proceed with the case. It was one of the roommates of one of the kiddos who passed away who said, oh, yeah, he always went to this mom and pop store to get something called sort of the nest. I don't remember. There's like a slang term for the, for the Craterim. What they're saying is even though it's not yet banned on the federal level in the town of Oxford, they have banned it as a controlled substance. You cannot sell it legally out of a convenience store. That's why they were arrested. Why isn't this regulated? It's not like Craterim came out yesterday. I don't know. But we are so far behind the curve. And then something like this happens and lawmakers go, oh, man, we should probably get a handle on this. Well, but the city of Oxford or the state of Mississippi has gotten ahead of it. Yeah. It's a supplement, which is, it's weird the way that they go with regulating supplements. By the way, natural O, gas station, heroin, herbal speedball. A lot of great names.

1:20:33These are the names of the, these are the slang terms for Craterim. 7 OH is the product. I think you were thinking of Dana. And that's a synthetic, right? That is the synthetic. So natural Craterim is used medicinally all the time. I'm not saying you should use it. Not what I'm saying. It's the synthetic stuff that we're seeing these horrifying side effects with. So why isn't it regulated? And I'm the last person to call for more laws and regulations. But when I knew K2 remember what K2 they were selling that at gas stations. And lawmakers were like, we're seeing videos online. It's incredible. Climbing up on the roof of their car, thinking they're a cat, we should probably regulate this. I feel like it took years to get that regulated. Even though people were ripping each other's faces off. I'm brother. We have Festive's Friday, coming away in one hour. The airing of the grievances, we will do that right after the five o'clock news. Hey, if you miss a segment, be sure to check out the Dana Parks podcast.

Catch us online anytime on KMBZ.com or get the podcasts wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to the Dana and Parks podcast on KMBZ. Ooh, an hour from right now. It's Festive's Friday, the airing of the grievances. Uh, where I need a grievance from you this week. I've got one, but now I can't remember, but it's a good one. Whatever it was, it was good. It was like in my kitchen the other day, I was like, that's my grievance. I just have to recall it, which is difficult for me, but I will. Okay, if not, I have one. Okay. We've got a backup in Sam from the New York Post, Napoleon. Yeah. Apparently had a secret code that he would use in letters. And he wrote one to his steps on Eugene 217 years ago. Eugene, bone apart, okay? And nobody could figure out what the letter said.

1:22:37Um, AI has solved it. Oh, yeah. He, it's in French, of course, but, um, but he wrote translated into English. You must have received general marmant. My letters of the eighth, 14th and 20th of this month. The contents of the rest of the coded letter remained unknown. That's what they knew. I remain unknown until they set AI to decode it. A process that took about six hours. Huh. What's the rest of it? Hang on. How do we know they actually decoded it though? I mean, AI is built to please. So maybe AI looked at it as like, we don't know. Can you pick me up some McDonald's on the way here? We think he said this. And we're like, hey, AI is awesome. So apparently it says again translated into English, the Russians are marching against Austria. Okay. And the army of Friuli today, numbers 80,000 men, add the Dalmatian core without counting the reserves being organized everywhere in the rear.

1:23:39And you see that Austria will be attacked at once on every side. She is consequently hastening toward her ruin when you receive the order to march. You must not allow yourself to be intimidated by a few troops or a gathering of rabble. I continue to await news from you with impatience. That sounds like you would talk back then. There will be no rambling. And I'm waiting with impatience. Waiting with impatience. Did you ever watch the Napoleon with walking Phoenix? I keep like seeing it pop up something you might like. I've never clicked on it. I need someone else and even tell me on the text line, did you see it? Is it worth it? I would watch it. I don't really have an interest in the poll. I know. But I, yeah, I do. I'm walking Phoenix is such a great actor. And may I just briefly, I do ever run do not walk. Okay. Last night. And this is funny. I was talking to my mother today. And she's like, do I have something to tell you when you get home, I want you to watch this documentary. And when she told me the name of it, I screamed in my car. I watched it last night.

1:24:42My mom and I were watching the exact same thing at almost the exact same time. Unbeknownst to one another in two different states last night. It is a run do not walk. It is called the widower. The widower. It is on Netflix. It appeared first two days ago, maybe like into September kind of thing. The widower. It is one of the craziest and it's short Scott. It's not like a nine episode thing because I can't do that anymore. It is a one hour 40 minute docu series, like documentary about a date line reporter who, oh man, like 2008, how many years ago, 30 years ago, a brand new like what you say 2008 was 30 years. I don't know. This brand new reporter. 18. It had just started out at date line. And then followed this case for 30 years. He followed the detective on the case. He followed the victims in the cases. And so they have footage from almost

1:25:44like the minute that the first crime happened and the last crime and all the crimes in between all the way up to present day. It is called the widower because the creepiest man that you will ever lay eyes on in your entire life named Thomas Randolph was married six times. Four of his wives are dead. Four of the six not into really math or percentages, but that's not good. No, that's not. And by the time number six has died because my mom said, how didn't all these women know? Well, he was first married back in the 1970s. You know, we didn't have our we date in the same guy.com back then. The percentage of 66% and he has the exact same mo. He meets him. He wooves him. He marries them very quickly. And then the life insurance conversation comes up.

1:26:44And so with the with the most recent case in 2008 where his wife is shot and killed in, I believe it was Las Vegas, those detectives like, they're like, who is this guy? We got to kind of do some, like, let's figure out who this guy is. No one even in her family knew he had been married six times because if someone came to you and said, like, hey, before you marry this guy, you just met him a month ago on match.com. Before you marry him, you know, did you know he's been married five other times? Like that would kind of be a red flag. That would kind of be a red flag. And then, by the way, did you know that three of those five women are dead? That would be a red flag, a big time red flag. This reporter, and it's not done like a typical date line because the reporter's the one that's narrating and being interviewed the entire time. He goes to every trial. He goes to every hearing. He goes to every interrogation. This dingaling Thomas Randolph, who's now like 70 is such a narcissist. He sits down and does all these interviews. He's a despicable man. And I'm not going to tell you how it ends. I just don't know. I don't know. Anyone

1:27:48has married six times with four women dead. And no one thinks like the odds are not, you are either the unluckiest man in the history of statistics. Or you've killed these women. What number of spouses and it's a red flag? I will. I will. Ex spouses. I should say I word. I will give you. No, I will give you like dead or just ex spouses. Both. If the death is and you can prove it, like died of cancer, like died of myeloma. Allegedly. Right. Then, you know, I still think you look into it. If it's one of a bunch of them, but that's different than, you know, shot under suspicious circumstances. Give me a break. It's called the widower. It is on Netflix. Oh, I screamed out loud. I was like, you've got,

1:28:49I screamed. You've got to be kidding me. 20 times watching this thing. Ken Erker, Gypsy Rose Blanchard's partner and father of her child died yesterday on his 34th birthday. It's cause of death is not known at this time. Allegedly. Erker was found unresponsive at his Louisiana home by a family member, according to People magazine. Officers were called to the home at roughly six 15 last night. And Erker was found dead upon arrival. His death is under investigation. That's, that doesn't mean there was hanky, panky evolved. That's pretty common. There is an updated article about this if you would like it. Says Blanchard. I'm in disbelief. I can't think. I screamed until my throat hurts. There are no words that can express the depth of this loss. Now, Blanchard, if you're wondering, why do I know this name? Blanchard became famous due to her role in the killing of her abusive mother. She was released from prison in December 2023 after serving more than seven years of a 10-year

1:29:49term. Blanchard was the victim of Munchhausen syndrome by proxy in which a caregiver fakes their child's illness or induces symptoms to make their child ill. What was the name of the, there were so many movies and documentaries on that. Like mommy, dead and dearest was the name of the one that that is just shocking. That girl is a victim of those crimes. She is now saying that they quietly had split. Shortly before this happened, and she is claiming that he died of an overdose. That is in the last hour or so. It had been reported previously that he had thoughts of suicide. Okay. They met in prison apparently. She never should have gone to prison, by the way. Ever. I'm sorry. Do you know what her mother did to her? Force her to pretend she was in a wheelchair. Force her to pretend she was like eight years old when she was 17. Force her to go through grueling medical treatments for which there was no need.

1:30:57She was a human pincushion. She was never sick so that they could get free trips to Disney world. And then do you remember how this all came about? Like she was locked in her house. She couldn't go out. Everyone was like, oh poor Gypsy. She had to talk like this because her mom wanted her to sound childlike because she had gone through puberty and was no longer a child. Her mom could not stop the internet. And she started DMing with a boy that started paying attention to her. And like a lot of young girls at age, what was she? 16, 17. She wanted to date. She wanted to go on a date. Well, mom could not have that because Gypsy was not sick. She shaved her head. And said she had cancer and said she had cancer. Oh, made her do random things like look like she was having a seizure. Oh my god. Scott as far back as that child can remember, she was displayed and and for what benefit for the mother, there had to be more than just getting a trip to

1:31:57the sick attention that oh, you poor woman, you poor woman. And there were two hospitals, and I want to say children's mercy was one of them. There were two hospitals that looked at her and doctors had concerns and said we cannot find anything medically wrong with this child. And then she would take the folders, take her child out of there. This is not the doctor we want. And you know, her mother eventually was, I believe, stabbed to death by the young man that she met online. And I'm not saying that's okay. Oh, the man she met, the boy she met online killed mom. Because eventually Gypsy started telling him, I have to tell you something, I'm not sick. He's like, what do you mean you're not sick? She's like, I've never been sick. There's nothing wrong with me. I can stay, I can walk, but I'm not allowed to leave the house not in my wheelchair. He's like, wait a minute. What? And so they, you know, start this online relationship and eventually it's like, what happened to him? He's in prison for the rest of his life.

1:32:59Huh. He should be in prison. And she was sent away for seven years for telling him she's going to be home at this time and the back door is going to be unlocked. So she facilitated the murder of her mother. Yes. And he included burner phones and the whole whole night. But people would say like, well, why didn't you just leave your mom's house? She was psychologically tortured her entire childhood and child life. So of course, like people like, is she a little screwed up? Oh my god, you would be so screwed. I don't think there's enough therapy in the world to fix what that woman did. That woman was evil. Scott, her mother, I'm saying, I believe that. I believe that. Absolutely evil. They live in Southwestern Missouri. It's okay to go stab in people who are evil. Huh. Yeah, local is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jason. Yeah. I'll be done. Oh, that movie creeps me out. Mommy dead and dearest, I think is what it's all. That's the movie about Gypsy Blanchard makes her talk like this. Like she's a little girl. Oh, look up some of the photos.

1:34:02Got it is all 913-586-77-98. Let's clear the air about hybrids with Kia. I live in Pasadena. So my Kia tell you ride Turbo Hybrid has to do a little of everything. School bags, speech chairs, a grocery run, I swore would be small. And somehow there's still room in my sister text. I'm landing in Burbank, compact me up. It seats seven, has over 600 miles of range, and makes the 134 feel a little less like a test of character. Space, range, flexibility.

A local member owned not-for-profit financial institution working against the profit-first mentality of Wall Street banks. Because where I bank and what my money supports actually matters to me.

1:36:08L-a-k-r-g-i dot com. But neighbors in the DeSoto community continue to push back the planning commission approve phase one. It's on 300 acres of land for a hyper scale data center project J-hawk. I don't know what that means. It includes a two-story 450,000 square foot building. We've got a staff report that says that seems to be more good than harm the planning commission stated. Neighbors in DeSoto have started circulating a petition that would put a pause on any of the planned phases from digital

1:37:10realty. Said one neighbor Tony Coldwell, I think we're stuck with what we have and what's going on. Hopefully it won't get any bigger. The citizen led petition seeks to block high impact data center development by putting it to a vote. It is a similar petition that was also circulating in Edgerton and in Ottawa. They don't care what the residents think. They've made that very clear. Why? They're going to get voted out of office. I can't seem to come to a reasonable conclusion on why these council members and all these towns across the country want these so badly. There is no benefit. There's an upfront construction benefit that lasts that long. That's it. And then you're going to have 10 employees added to the city's pay rolls. Well, in the upfront benefit is nothing compared to the tax benefits that they're getting in return. Exactly. I mean, if you're giving them tax benefits, that means you want it.

1:38:15For what? I'm completely at a loss for why any community would want one of these. It's not the community that wants it. Okay, tell me more. It's the elected officials and to Sam's point, why? What at risk of political peril, what possible reason would a politician have for wanting this in their backyard? You have to follow the money. I'm sorry to say it, but you do. And they're signing India's. And they're signing India's. We don't really are the elected officials somehow benefiting from this because if everyone in the town is against it, why would you say, you know what, I don't care. We're going to do this anyway. To be clear, we're not making any allegations. We are. I'm just saying, why would you? This is a rare, rare, like, flat cameras issue in the news right now. We're almost everyone is in agreement. It's not a political thing. People don't want data centers in their backyard. And they don't want

1:39:18flat cameras. I'm spying on their every move, like the guy yesterday that is going to jail for looking up his ex girlfriend 10,000 times. I people don't want this stuff. It's like a rare case where everyone comes together against this thing. So why would a politician not glom onto that and say, I'm going to be the one that votes, nobody wants this, not in my backyard. And that's not what the politicians are saying. And so you have to ask yourself why? The text line has just exploded. This is how much of a hot potato, hot button issue, these data centers have become in these United States. 74% of Americans in a recent Fox News poll said they oppose data centers anywhere near their home and more specifically their town. 74%. It was the 26% that say I wouldn't bother me. I have theories. Yeah. Oh, no, I've gotten

1:40:18an argument with my friends about whether or not data centers are a good thing. They're out there. The people who think data centers benefit a community. Now most of the friends that I get into those arguments with happen to work in an industry that is data center adjacent. So also, Sam, they're probably pro data center in a general sense. They wouldn't be pro data center if it was plopping down right by where you live. Yeah. Everybody loves shopping at Walmart. Yes. And nobody wants to Walmart. There goes right in your neighborhood. Right. I'm serious. And yet somehow city councils continue to approve wallmarts all over the country. The text line has just I've never seen it move that quickly. Okay, keep building them until I retire in six years. That's where my paycheck is coming from. Okay. There you go. But what is the benefit I just simply cannot, putting my political hat on for just a moment, wrap my, our political consultant hat on. I can't wrap my head around why any

1:41:25politician, city council members, what I'm really saying, would approve a data center in your city. The so do is growing leaps and bounds. It's it you drive through it on the way to Lawrence. I think the so it's a nice little town and that's growing up. There is a tax benefit. Data centers cost hundreds of millions or billions of dollars to build. They pay massive property and local taxes that can help fund public schools, roads and emergency services without raising taxes on local residents. If you believe that, I was going to say massive or the same property taxes that everybody else paid based on the side of the land. Okay. Well, if it goes to fund schools, I happen to live in the DeSoto school district. I did not see a cut in the mill. No, that's so weird. Have you ever heard the milleveg going down? Rarely. It's dropping significantly in here. So I don't remember that headline. I'm not saying it's never happened. I'm saying I don't. It's like the death toll. It always rises. You never hear

1:42:29the death toll has fallen. Those words don't exist in news together ever. So if we're now looking at a second data center for the city of DeSoto, I better be paying zero dollars in property taxes to the DeSoto school district. If you've told people, we're going to do this. We're going to allow this in DeSoto, but you don't have property taxes anymore. Then what percentage of folks would be like? Okay. Now I'll listen to your argument. Property taxes just from the school district. Mm-hmm. Not much. I'd rather pay the small amount that I paid to the DeSoto school district than have one put up in my backyard. Remember one company offered every resident in the small town of Pennsylvania, 10,000 grand. 10 grand? And the resident said, no. Then we got Amazon vows one billion dollars for data center towns warning that listen to this Amazon's cloud computing division on Friday announced a new effort to temper opposition to data centers in some US communities while saying the US cannot afford

1:43:35to lose the race to dominate artificial intelligence globally. The tech giant pledged to invest an additional one billion dollars over five years in communities where it builds data centers. The facilities that power AI on top of existing commitments. Amazon said the money will go toward education, job training, energy affordability, and water and energy preservation. That sounds like a bribe. That is a bribe. Oh. Okay. And by the way, they don't even need the data centers right now. We can't as humans create enough data to fill them up. If you said to me, don't think that fast. If you said because how long have we had Facebook and memes and you know, when you put, when you go to your phone and it says, do you want to go into AI mode and you say, yes, and you say, make me a funny photo of Scott Parks wearing a lamb outfit in front of the ocean. And it will do that. And I understand that it takes energy and water and all those things to do

1:44:35that a lot of it. Okay. So if you said to Americans, we're going to stop building so many of these data centers. But it's not going to be as easy for you to create stupid memes of your co-workers. What percentage of Americans would say, you know what? Bring it on. Bring it on. Yeah. And by the way, I don't want anything that goes up to the cloud to be there forever. I would like it to go away if I delete it. It was them that the cloud people who decided that it's going to remain forever. What are we doing? You care to guess how many data centers there currently are in the United States? 3,700, 3,300. Oh, how many were there? How many were there like five years ago? Was it zero? Five years, I don't know when they started building these stupid things. Would you care to guess how many are in the Kansas City area? 40 10. And this goes down to Raytown and out by Blue Springs. It's 40. It's 42. Okay. 42 in the Kansas City area. Farthest North is roughly

1:45:42what town is this? I don't know what the name of that is. Okay. There's a bunch up to the north and to the east of Plac County and Leatherworth. The recent push, by the way, is recent. So you had asked how many there were a couple of years ago in 2020. There were only 2,700. So in six years, it's been 600 of them. Yet we've had how many proposals in the last six months? Dozens. Sure. And tiny little dissatoise. I know it's not tiny. It's got several thousands and thousands of people. But when I was growing up, it was a small town. Now it's getting bigger and bigger. And they're going to get two data centers. And what happens if you have a data center within eyesight of your home? What's an eye sore? Good luck selling now. It's an eye sore. Yeah. Yeah. It does. Having a data center near your home is not like having an elementary school near your home. It doesn't increase the value. It decreases the value of your home because nobody wants

1:46:45them. And if you have a house right next one, go ahead and forget ever putting a four sales side up or at least getting what you think you are, are, are deserved for your home because you're not going to get it. 913-586-7798-586-7798 here on Dana Parks.

It's a story from the New York Post. And it is a real live Ross Geller from friend situation when he walked down the aisle and said, I Ross take the Rachel.

1:49:53Nerves are known to get the best of some grooms in the minutes prior to taking the plunge. But when one jittery fell his big day mistake calling his wife to be another woman's name. It is a and I'm quoting here from the story and F up slip of the lip that the internet refuses to forgive. The names were similar. They were. But it was his sister or her sister. A big brother. That's even worse. The footage has has a mass 2.2 million views. And it shows the groom pledging his life and undying love to Emily. Emily. He was he was marrying Emma. Emma Emily. Did he tell you to be? I Ross. I Ross. Take the Emily. Take the Rachel. Emily. Emily.

1:50:59Should I continue? No. In the 11th second video clip, Emma laughs off the slip of the tongue and playfully corrects him before he finishes the vows with her actual name. I would be so. It would be funny. It would. But I would be so sad. My heart would hurt for him because you know like as much as you're trying to be like, it's okay. There's nothing you can say or do that's going to make him feel worse in that moment. Nothing. Even if you say it's okay, we're going to look back at this and laugh. You know that night when everyone celebrate. You wouldn't be offended. I would be the one that would just kind of laugh and be like seriously. Wow. I think I'd be offended. Emma and Emily. That's just so that you know. Now the names are similar. It's the sister which I think makes it more weird. But maybe that's a reason to discount it. What if it is the name of an X? Ooh. Similar to the Ross Rachel situation. Great point.

1:52:04What if it's an X? I mean that makes it super awkward. Or you're both divorced and he says X wife's name. Yeah. Or she says X husband's name. Ooh. I mean. Gotta practice. I think you gotta practice. Don't you practice every day when you call each other on the phone? Yeah. I think it's extremely rare this happens and that's why this made the news. When I tell my phone to call my current girlfriend, I don't say, hey, blank blank, call Shonda. Yeah. I feel bad for him. I really do. I feel bad for him. From the text line, I mean it's gone. It would not be okay. I don't think so. I don't believe her either. It's gone super viral. They just wanted to have a nice wedding. They posted it on the internet. I know. Okay. Kansas City taxpayers are now in the hook for $900,000. After the city agreed to settle a

1:53:06lawsuit filed by the former City Social Media Manager who alleged discrimination retaliation in a hostile work environment. The settlement comes after former City Social Media Manager, April Leonard, accused the city of failing to protect her after she was blamed online for a controversial social media post involving Kansas City Chiefs kicker, Harrison Butcher. Councilwoman Melissa Robinson called the nearly $1 million payout alarming. Says Councilwoman Robinson today is a sad day. Anytime we're doing these settlements and we're spending taxpayer dollars, it is a somber day for the taxpayers. Are we the most settled check writing city? Scott, I mean, in the last year, I'd say in the last five years, Sam. I was just about to say in the last year, I think that we're pushing like $5 million. So listen to this. Let her to ledge that she did not write or publish the post about Harrison Butcher. But because of her

1:54:10position as the city's social media manager, her name and photo circulated online as backlash over the post grew. Leonard alleges that the city failed to make clear that she was not responsible for the post and that the resulting backlash became serious enough that she needed to stay in a hotel for security. The city agreed to pay $900,000 to say, wait a minute, you're, wait, wait, the city didn't accuse her. But they didn't, they didn't correct it either. Is the city responsible for correcting online sleuths about what they post about somebody who works for the city? Are we sure the city didn't post anything with respect to her or her job? The allegation was that the city did not clarify it was not her. Listen, Leonard alleged she did not write the post, but because of her position as the city's social media manager, her name and photo circulated online as backlash over the post grew. And yes, the city did not back her and say,

1:55:15well, wait a minute, she had nothing to do with it because the city then would have had to put the smear back on itself. Do we ever find out who posted the post in question? No. Oh my gosh, we're not going to. But as a Kansas City resident, I am going to pay this settlement. You're definitely going to pay a portion. Thank you, the city. I just can't believe that the city has to pay out for what other people are doing. And then how many things do you think are written online about Kansas City police officers? I know, but why not come out and say because I don't know that she would be, is she considered a public official like a, I hit a low level social media manager for a city? She's a public official. She's not a public figure. Yeah. The city could have very easily said, everyone needs just to take a breath, calm down. We are investigating how this happened. And there's a lot of speculation online. This was not our social media manager. But a lot of things are said about you and me online. I know.

1:56:16As some of it's true or the chiefs or police officers or I know some of it is false. It is Odyssey responsible. Every time somebody puts something online about you or me or Sam that's not true is Odyssey responsible to say we'd like to issue a statement. That is what what you wrote about Scott is absolutely 100% false. But the company also would not respond to that and say, we'll handle the matter, which is what they did with this situation. They got pushed back because they basically, yeah, but they said we're handling it. And then they said, we've identified the individual who did it. We're handling the matter. The internet did its thing and said, this is the person. And they never said, wait a minute, that's not the person. I think that I obviously she has a case. We're paying out 900,000. Right. I think she definitely had a case. And she's saying in a hotel, I do not doubt for one second she got death threats. Because if memory serves, we're not even

1:57:19going to talk about the post. It was political in nature. If memory serves. Okay. So from the text line, so managers are no longer responsible for what their employees do. Sure they are. Within reason. But managers or employers are not responsible for what people who do not work for your company or your city. Yeah. That's what you're saying. It was a tweet from the city by the way, following his commencement address that drew controversy. The one that he gave up at Benedictine or whatever. Okay. So Sam, Kansas City has half a million people inside Kansas City proper. Little less than half a million. Okay. And this is a $900,000 settlement. Oh, I'm. That means you're on the hook for $2. Oh, yeah. Of this settlement. I'll cough it up right now. Pull it out of my wallet. Mary Beth is $2 in the hole because of this settlement. So your household has lost $4.

1:58:20I'm very proud of my city and everything it does. 913-586-7798-586-7798-15 minutes away. Woohoo! For Festivus Friday, the airing of the grievances here on Data and Parks.

2:01:26When it does strike, researchers say the disease manifests differently than it does in adults. Over the past two decades, colorectal cancers have exploded fivefold among children between the ages of 10 and 14, more than tripled among teens between the ages of 15 and 19, and nearly doubled among young adults between the ages of 20 to 24. The new data suggests that when people age 21 and younger are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, it's more likely to be serious either stages three or four. Because you would not have routine screenings for that at that age, and by the time you start having symptoms, it can be progressed. For the average US child, 62% of their daily caloric intake is processed. 80% of all foods marketed to US children are UPFs.

2:02:26Ultra-process, is that what you're saying? Yes, that is largely the cause of colorectal cancer. The beast and the edge of hell open tonight in Kansas City for a five-week run. It is the 52nd year for both. 50 second year, wow. This year's opening was delayed by a couple of weeks due to the heat, which impacted the attraction's usual mid-September start. The haunted houses, by the way, have also been recognized by America Haunts as one of the top five attractions in the United States. They're awesome. I can't wait to go. You're not going to night, are you? Probably not tonight, no, because I don't want to wait in a four hour long line, because it's always packed on the first night, get there early. You know where we're going to go? I think tomorrow night, have you seen the photos or the videos of the new video art installation they have placed on the World War I Memorial and Museum? It is, wow. You guys remember during the NFL draft?

2:03:28And I posted photos of this at the time because we were down there. You turned around and they just had poppies, thousands of poppies on the tower, but then also on the rectangular museum part, the base underneath the World War I Memorial. They have contacted an artist or contracted with this artist to come in and bring these stunning images. I mean, it is stunning. And we're going to try to get someone with the museum on the show on Monday, because I want to know all about it. Like, how did he do this? One of the images that was just one artist. I think so. I think so. And it runs every 15 minutes. It is completely free. And it runs. I think I read for the next eight weekends. And obviously you have to go at night. You're not going to see anything during the day, but it shines up on that thing. And one of the cool things is it looks

2:04:29like a waterfall. All of this water like crashing down from down down from the tower. And then it just looks like this gigantic ocean wave crash on the base. And then there's patriotic symbolism. And it's just really really and it's free. Just go down there and check it out. Oh, I think we're going to go tomorrow night. That's pretty awesome. Have you seen the dramatic new body cam footage capturing the moments that police realized they had finally found Luigi Mangione in a Pennsylvania McDonald's after an intense five day manhunt. Christie Wassert, an officer with the Altoona Police Department, smiled after pulling a gun magazine, which had been wrapped in underwear out of Mangione's backpack. The new video shows it's blanking him, dude. A male cop has heard saying in the footage released by the man, Hatton District Attorney's Office, it's blanking him 100%. Mangione was caught in Altoona on December 9th, 2024 in almost two years. Five days after he shot and killed United Health Care

2:05:33CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan. Okay. The fugitive initially gave officers a fake ID with the name Mark Rosario. But when a cop later asked if that was his name, Mangione answered no sir. No, it's not me. The cop then says then what's your real name? He says, uh, Luigi. The killer can also be seen the alleged killer. Be careful, New York Post. The alleged killer can also be seen trying to play it cool by chowing down on a hash brown and later a steak, egg, and cheese McMuffin. He keeps eating his hash brown. Well, he knows it's the last outside of jail. Neil is going to get for a while, uh, asked him questions as a medley of Christmas songs blared in the overhead speakers. Hmm. Hmm. Oh no, he did plead guilty. I beg your pardon. Um, I shot Mr. Thompson. A man had an any died. I forgot about that. Uh, he said, uh, to be sentenced

2:06:34in that case on December 18th. He did that to avoid the death penalty. Remember? That's right. I forgot. I totally forgot about that. I shot Mr. Thompson. A man had an and he died. Okay. From Channel nine, a Missouri man's Amazon account was hacked, leading to fraudulent purchases, totally more than $1,700 and sparking a police investigation in Kansas City. Now he is warning others. There may be more victims. Uh, the man who's identified as worth said last Thursday, I got a notification of my phone from Amazon asking if I purchased a couple of these items. I said, no, I went to look at it and noticed the address they were being delivered to was not mine. The fraudulent purchases included several high tech tablets, which were set to be delivered to a house in Kansas City, about an hour away from Mr. Worse Home in Cameron. You said he went ahead and filed a police report, uh, filed a police report that night, filed reports with my bank and went

2:07:38from there. Uh, Mr. Worse drove to the delivery address listed and called the police. While the wife and I waited down there for the police to show up, the local package delivery service showed up that day and brought an armful of boxes. Kansas City police discovered several more Amazon deliveries at the same address, all under different names. Yep. And then what does the person do with the stuff? Well, they're ordering stuff that they want. I mean, not in all cases. Haven't you ever, there's also a scam where they just send random stuff out and you open it like I didn't, I didn't buy this. No, but what they were, they had hacked into allegedly hacked into Mr. Worse's account and then used and to send it to what they wanted to their place. That's the dumbest scam. I've ever heard my entire life. All you do is go on your Amazon account, look up the address like they did. Here's where it is. Nobody said thieves are always. Nobody's getting rich off that scheme.

2:08:39The Lord, how dumb are those people? He says, I kind of hope that this brings awareness to one, to protect your account. Uh, police are investigating the potential fraudsters. Worth is working to recover the payments lost in the fraud. I think it's worth noting that the undefeated Kansas City chiefs play the undefeated Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday at 325 PM. I believe the Raiders are favorites to win that game. Let me. Oh, I'm telling you. Odds, um, Kansas City chiefs, I beg your pardon. Uh, the Kansas City chiefs are 4.5 point favorites. Okay. Good. The overrunner has said it 47 and a half points. Well, two teams are going in with a perfect record and one team is coming out without a perfect record unless they tie. I hope everybody behaves in the stands behave.

2:09:40It's there. It's not here, but still, ladies and germs, we have just cleared every single one of our phone lines. They are open and ready for your grievances. We'll do Festive's Friday coming up in just a moment. 913 586 77798 is a phone number 913 586 77798. Every line is open. Get in early. Festive's Friday is next right after the news. Thanks for listening to the Dana and parks podcast on KMVZ catches online anytime on KMVZ.com or get the podcasts wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to the Dana and parks podcast on KMVZ. It's time. Well, it's time to make all the stadiums. Yes, it is. Somebody's getting their star on the Hollywood World Cup fan next week. It is Festive's Friday and Ms. Dana, you get the honorary first grievance of every week. Uh, I have two very quick grievances. Number one, I came home last night in the pouring rain to an eviscerated full-size Robin right on the

2:10:43welcome mat on my doorstep. We've confirmed it was a Robin. It was. Okay. And then, you know, Johnny wasn't home. So I almost called Jack. I am not kidding. I almost called him and said, come get this. I'm not touching it. I don't want to look at it. I'm going to throw up. I had to foot wedge soccer dead bird to I couldn't get into the house. It was foot scoot. There were feathers. It wasn't as much of a scoot. Think of a hacky sack maneuver where you kind of go, eh, with the side of your foot. And then so the poor thing is then it took three dead bird soccer flings to get it off the driveway and under the lilac bush. So I did get rid of it, but there was no funeral. And I do feel kind of guilty for having to do that. And we confirmed who the killer. A lot of one of the cats and there's a lot of wildlife going on in my yard right now. That's going on. And then my other grievance, I need someone to explain to me. My tires are low. Anytime it gets a little bit colder, tires get low. I hop in the car to run some errands outside today. And my tires are so low that one of them says, you know,

2:11:46pull over now. You're about to die. I get this like alert on the car that says you got to pull over. You probably have a flat tire. I find a place that has air this gas station. So go to gas stations very often, right? It's called a quick trip. And I and it was not quick trip. You had to pay for the air, which that was new. Quick trips is free. And a swipe for the old air. Then I go, look, there's no way to know how long you put the thing on the thing to get it to where you're no longer going to die. If you like, there's no way to know. So I thought, okay, I'm going to start with the front right one. And I'm going to count to 10. So I went one, one thousand, two, one thousand. Then there's this lag between putting the air in it. And the car saying, okay, you're fine. This goes on so long. The thing stops with the air. You don't get free air all day. No, no, no, no, you do not. They want you to reinsert your credit card for more air. So now I got three of them that are kind of in the wheelhouse of where it's supposed to be. Do you have a tire gauge? No.

2:12:49No. You should get a tire gauge. Well, actually just ask Johnny. I bet he has four. I'm sure he does. I was trying to be like, look at me. I'm going to put I air in my tires. I usually have sailor to down the street. Yeah, I'm going to do this. How do you for trying? I tried. And now I got three or four different PSIs or what what PSAs. I don't even know what it is. They're all different. Sounds precise. I'm going straight home and I'm going to bed. I'm not meant to understand the dead birds or automotive things and not my lane. You need to go to AutoZone. It costs about two bucks and ask for a tire gauge. There is Naria truck out there that doesn't have four in the console. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not doing that tonight. Okay. All right. 913-586-7798. We do have lines open. We will get you in before the bottom of the hour. We promise 913-586-7798. Please allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy Festivus Friday. Let's get it on people. We got lines open.

2:13:49Don't tell me everything in your life is going well. Grievance-913-586-7798. We will get you on before the bottom of the hour. That is a promise. Scott in Kansas City, your first up. Hello. All right. I'm back. This is like I think my 14th time being first. Well, you call early. Yeah. So it's with my gas. But I just got that in the mail. I got one major grievance and a minor one. The minor one is they only give you like a week to pay it. But the major one is I like I get all my other bills like around the middle of the month. And I like to and then you know I like to pay them all at one time. You'll fill out all that I actually do the checks. I fill them all out the same time. But the gas one always comes then you'll two weeks later. So I'm always like you know sitting there waiting for that. I wish the gas bill would come with the other on my other bills. So I could do them all at the same time. All right, brother. We got you, man. Thanks for calling. 913-586-7798. Peter in mission. Hello, Peter. Hello. I just want to call in. I actually made a

2:14:52note on Monday that I would call in about this that the you guys did a segment about that. And I wanted to let you know that the bat in mouth story is maybe the worst thing I've heard on this program. Nothing against you guys. I know you don't you just support the news. Oh, the bat in mouth in the woman's mouth. Yes. Yes. That was horrendous. And I just want to let you know. I don't disagree with you. Imagine being that girl. Imagine being the doctor. It happened to. I can't. I don't want you. All right, man. Shane and Belton. Shane, hello. Yeah, I was just going to let you guys know every Friday. I tried to think of something that I have to look like agreements and honestly listening to you guys on the way home. You guys always make my day. So this is like a gratitude. That's fun. Thank you guys for what you do. And I enjoy my ride home every day. Well, thank you for letting us do it, man. Oh, Shane, thank you so much for the call. Have a good weekend. Yeah, you too. All right, be well. Let's go to Ben in Overland Park. Ben, hello.

2:15:56Hey, and welcome back, Scott. It's good. Thank you. Oh, you are cutting out, Ben. Ben, get the higher ground. We'll come back to you in just a moment. Mike in North Kansas City. Hello, Mike. I think that might be me. North as a river, you know, whatever. Mike complained, maybe people might not be able to relate to it is, I go to the laundromat to do my clothes because I don't have a washroom of my house. Yeah. People take the baskets and claim them as their own for every second they are in the laundromat. And you know, this, you know, when it's busy, you know, and there's no baskets available, and I got to grab hot clothes out of my, you know, in my hands and put them on a table. Yeah, I don't want to cause a scene because there's too many scenes being caused now, but it's like, you know, let me borrow for a second. Okay. Stop hogging the baskets

2:16:58at the laundromat. Mark in Kansas City. Mark, hello. Hello, let the guys love to show. Thank you, man. My grievances with you, Scott. Okay. You're not going to high school principals or principals in general. Been one, been a high school principal 16 years. Distress the job is literally chilly me. It is taking years off of my life undoubtedly. Oh, I believe that if I was dismissive against what you guys do for a living, that was not my intention. Oh, his brother's principal. Yeah. Yeah. It is extremely stressful, especially these times. I agree. My problem is not necessarily with principals or vice principals. I'm only going to say this for 10 seconds or less. We have way too many school districts in the state of Kansas. My grievance would be more with superintendents and not principals. If it came across as I was being derogatory towards principals, I apologize. That was certainly not the intent. John in Kansas City. John, good afternoon. Hello.

2:18:00Well, good afternoon, Scott. How are you doing today? We're doing well. Thank you. Wonderful. Glad to hear it. A simple grievance today as one of those speedy courier drivers across the Metro, getting business packages here and there. My small grievance is when a business has a schedule pickup to drive out of your way to go say hi and they're like, oh, we forgot to cancel that. We don't have anything for you. Oh, yeah. Just that little much brighter. Right on. And last one, this segment, Mike in Raymore. Hello. Hello. This is for people that use the ways that you have an option of marking if there's a cop with a radar gun and they're using it for flock cameras, which is completely useless. It slows down traffic. But at the same time, cops have figured out that they can now hide under the flock cameras because drivers are going to ignore it.

2:19:03Sam, can you explain this one to me? Yeah. I'm very confused. So Google maps and the ways app have combined efforts. And so if you're using ways or Google maps and you drive past a police officer who was taking radar, you hit a little button that looks like a conversation bubble with a plus sign in it and say, police officer taking radar. And then it will inform any driver passing that area that there is a police officer up on the right taking radar. Those other drivers can then confirm or deny that the officer is still there. What he is saying is people are using the police officer present warning to mark flock cameras. Oh, okay. It's dumb because the flock cameras going to be there anyway. Yeah. 24 seven. He said as a secondary point, now if you're a police officer, just sit under a flock camera and everybody's going to ignore it. 913-586-7798. We have every line open. We will get you in before the bottom of the hour. 913-586-7798. Here on Dana in Parks.

When you have Commander Jesse Reed, this is a gratitude. You have Commander Jesse Reed on there. I fell over laughing. I'm serious,

2:23:21because he was using the jargon that he, his British counterparts used whenever they were bombing or just doing their military exercises, their military missions. Do you remember any of that? No. Oh, he would, uh, with Commander Jesse Reed. He was talking about his British counterparts and how they'd say, oh, Charlie, you know, or something like that. Um, and it, yeah, it felt maybe you'd, gosh, am I dreaming this? Well, here's what I'll do. I'll pass it on to him. Yes. That he was a gratitude today. And I can help you because when he's on, I'm off. Uh, Shannon in Kansas City. Hello, Shannon. Hi, Scott. Hi, Dana. Hi, Sam. Love your show. My grievance is with people's driving between 87th Street and 75th Street in La Nessa, encore beer. It's 40 miles per hour. Why are we doing 30? Everybody is doing 30. What does it mean? Let's go to speed limits so we can

2:24:26get home on Friday. Shannon, that was robust. If I may, if I may, yes. Shannon very quickly. It's also when there's two lanes and only two other cars on the road and they both happened to be in front of you driving side by side at the speed five under it. I'm like, what are you doing? If you're in the left lane and there is a car to your right and it stays to your right, you're the problem. Uh, Nicholas in the Soto. Nicholas, good afternoon. Hello. Hey, good afternoon. Call me in with my grievance that Kansas City is just two nights of a city. My life and I have been living down in San Antonio for the last four years and we just moved back about a month ago. Man, we love it here. Oh, it's good to have you back. Did you not like San Antonio? We absolutely loved it, but, uh, you know, job opportunity and life, we got the opportunity to come on back. Good for you. Congratulations. All right. Thanks, guys. Be well. 913-586-779. 8th Ben in Overland Park. Hello, Ben. I'm back from Narnia.

2:25:31I'm a so my, my grievance is people in my apartment complex that have expired tags in some cases tags that are from five years ago. And then my gratitude is the fact that I've been in a job that's been going really well for three months and I'll leave it at that and you guys have a good night. You do the same thing for you, Ben. Glad to clear. Uh, Kelly and Excelsior Springs. Kelly, hello. Hi, I guess I should start off with a gratitude that I feel very blessed that I was able to upgrade my car. Um, but it has all those cameras and sensors. And so my garage, when it's open and I'm backing in, there's just like a crack, you know, the foundation's got a little bit of a separation. And I just had all the three of my dogs and we went for a fun little ride and I'm backing in and the car automatically slams the brakes because the things were going off the cliffs. And the poor dogs just were like kind of stuttered like what's going on? And I don't know how to fix it. I don't feel like depending on where the sun is, my car flips out. Yeah. It's called Phantom Breaking and it's the worst. Kelly, can I ask a question? Yeah. You're a garage backer in a

2:26:37Oh, I'm a, I know. I know you guys have had this hot take issue. I am a back in all the time person. My husband is a Smith system trained driver. Could he drives for a, you know, drove big trucks for delivery, but grocery stores and stuff. And so like first thing we taught our daughters was how to back into a parking spot. That's I back in everywhere. I at least put the little blinker like I'm going this direction. Don't be fooled. No, but I, that's fun. I understand people who who back in on like in the grocery store parking lot or whatever level. I've never heard of somebody backing into their garage. Kelly, do not let them shame you. I appreciate you saying to sing safe parking. Sam, a shame would be akin to a challenge. I'm not. This is curiousness. I definitely did not take it as a shame whatsoever. And you know, the more people who can hear its vapor to back in and possibly hit a grocery cart more than backing out and hitting cars and people get the message out. Okay. All right. Hey, we are very, very passionate about it.

2:27:37Almost, what's what I'm looking at? Who are you going to hit coming out of your car? Not challenging. I'm just, yeah, that is I would never be able to back into my garage spot. There's no way left support on the garage. We wouldn't have right. I wouldn't have mirrors. Well, he's always home before me. She wouldn't have a truck. There's not a room. On either side, there's not enough room. Jennifer and Shawnee. Hello, Jennifer. Hi, guys. Thank you for taking my call. I have a grievance. I have been looking at a new apartment. And I'm looking at some of these apartments around our area here. And it's like the rent is like $1,600, $1,800, $2,000. And some of these apartments have very old features like old carpet looking. Some do not have a washer and dryer. Look up. I mean, this is getting completely ridiculous. You should look at buying a house. Basically, I almost at that, like, I'm a teacher and I'm struggling to just afford the things

2:28:41I need myself personally. I'm also for my classroom. Jennifer, that year we rented a loft. It was more, it was as expensive as the mortgage that I had left behind. That's insanity. Yeah, it is. That doesn't make sense. I Charlotte in Overland Park. Charlotte, hello. Hello. Hi. Hello. I actually know about my good and for people in school. So, well, it's not the school. Like the school's fine. But the people in the school, I do go on the hands. Charlotte, can I ask you something? Is it your birthday today? Yes, it is. Well, we want to say to you happy birthday, sweetheart. Thank you. You have a good birthday weekend. And don't get unhinged. Bill and North Kansas City, Bill, hello. Hey, quick one here. My agreement says is people who get upset that other people have

2:29:45expired plates. I mean, way out of all the things in the world to get upset about high gas prices, award I ran, and somebody wants to be upset. And because I know a lot of my friends get upset because other people have expired plates. It's like, don't you got something better to do than be upset about that? Thank you. Okay. I'd love to challenge that grievance. I would love to challenge that grievance. Bob in Waldo. Bob. Hey guys, how's it doing? It's going well. Thank you. My agreement says it's a local movie theater company. I decided to go take my wife to a movie on Saturday. Happened to be our anniversary. And so she wanted to go see a movie. So we didn't see the movie obviously. Oh yeah. And that yeah, 15 minutes in the movie I had to walk out to the manager say, could you turn the volume down? He says, alter, I'll look into it. One hour later, I'm holding my ears.

2:30:49She has napkins in her ears because it was so freaking loud. Really? It was terrible. We had to leave. We left the movie one hour in. Yeah, you were like only a third of the way through it, Bob. Did you ask for your money back? Nope, because I figured, you know, well, I just sent a report to the AMC people and they said nothing, but I did mention the report that even Pete Townsend had heard his ears. I'm curious. Do the directors and the people that make the movies send out something to the movie theaters that say, we want it in this format and we want it this loud. Like a recommended volume. This is where we want it for this epic film. I think depending on what theater you're in, it has volumes based on that. So if it's like a Dolby theater or whatever, bring your earplugs. Yeah. 913-586-7798, every line is now reopened and we will get you in in the next segment. Before the end of the next segment, you will get on the air 913-586-7798 here on Dana and Parks.

2:34:03History that doesn't suck is a legit, heart-hitting American History Podcast fold through entertaining stories. History that doesn't suck, an Odyssey Podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts. You said at the beginning of the show of this hour that you had two grievances. I only remember hearing one. The tires and the dead bird. Oh, the tires, of course. You did get them both in there. John in South Kansas City. Hello. Yeah, my grievances with the poison control. We had my dog the other night. I got a king corso and he drank a bottle of soy sauce that we had some beef jerky marinate in. I just thought it was really drooling, really heavy. We call poison control. It's over $100 for them to give you advice now. We figured we'll take them to the emergency vet. We take them to the emergency vet. We're not going to spend $100 talking to poison control. That's unheard of. The vet, actually, you have to call poison control first and get a game plan from them.

2:35:07In order to give it to the vet, we were on hold 49 minutes before they came back with what we should do. At that point, the AI had told me that brain possible brain damage from sodium toxicity has already started to take place. We're still waiting on them to get on the phone and start to make a diagnosis for us. John, Rue, did you call ASPCA poison control? I'm trying to. Yes, we did. Yes. It says, I did not know this, but it says right here, a small fee that can prevent a big bill. It's over $100. They said, 80 something at first when we called 89, I believe, and we said, I guess we're going to have to bite the bullet. Then all of a sudden, they didn't even get a 110 before we said and done. Before you get that case number, they take that credit card to make sure it runs through. Sorry, John, what did your animal ingest? Soy sauce. We were marinating beef jerky to go in the dehydrator. We had a bottle, there was actually a full bottle

2:36:12of soy sauce in the bottle of liquid smoke that was mixed in a big bowl and it was up on top of the countertop and he jumped out there and jumped up there and drank it while we were gone. We got back and it was an empty dish and then started drooling really bad and looked like he was drunk almost. That's what made me think we need to call. We need to check on him and yeah, $110 later, they told us we had to go ahead and go into the vet and we dealt with that. I've never heard of a vet telling me I have to go online and talk to poison control. I had no idea. Before they're willing to do their job, 913-586-7798, we do have a handful of lines open if you want one, 913-586-7798, Alice in North Kansas City. Hello. Hello, I know that you guys can't challenge grievances but I would like to challenge the grievances from a guy who says that we shouldn't be upset that other people don't have tags or not have

2:37:19proper tags on their car because I disagree with that because it costs everyone money when police have to make traffic stops that they probably wouldn't make if they had the proper tag and it also costs money when or costs grievance and difficulty when states make laws based on you're not having tags if everybody had their tags they wouldn't have to make laws that make it harder for others. And the tag is a tax and when you have a 10 tag you're not paying your taxes. You're not paying your taxes, you're not paying your sales tax, you're probably not paying your property tax either. Depending especially in Kansas because you pay your property tax when you pay your car when you pay your you know register your car.

2:38:21And then you pay based on the first letter of your last name a certain amount on a certain month every single year. Dylan and Overland Park Dylan hello. Hey guys hey I got a grievance with shrinkage and by shrinkage I mean in the grocery store. Yep so a new product showed up in my household recently if you're familiar with a famous toaster pastry that exists and it slowly have slimmed down from two to one in each package by the guys of we're now over stuffed toaster pastry so yeah keep it that keep it that way and be vigilant they're sneaky. Have you over opened just a box of crackers and looked now like you know it could be any major box brand of crackers but when you pull out the thing open it there's like a third of the bag is empty at the top like saltines or something not saltines like written or trisks or anything that's in a box

2:39:22okay when you like cereal it's in a box but then there's that cellophane thing to open yeah whether or not stacked on top of each other no I did not notice that start looking it'll be like wow but is there a reason why chip bags have so much air at the top yes there is absolutely a reason they don't want to smash it does is to protect them through shipping because they put so many of those bags into a small box the boxes get flipped around thrown around it gives them a little pocket for the chips to move around and rather than just crunching under themselves from the text line my grievances we didn't hear if the cat was okay it was it was a dog actually but the dog was okay I'm sure the dog is fine I think his grievance would have been different had that yeah I think his grievance what a story I don't know what a dog that so I saw exactly right Delilah in belton hello hi good afternoon are you okay are you are we on bluetooth yeah do you want me to take you off

2:40:22if you don't mind because it sounds like you're in a wind tunnel absolutely I hate that so do wait go is that oh my god that's so much better way better okay and I have to turn my radio off there you go yes hey guys love your show been a long time listener but my what I'm going to say is that I agree I agree with Scott and not pinpointing personnel in schools but they're top heavy they're top heavy and the wages they pay those top people are out of line with what the teachers make and the teachers are doing the hard labor and I know in the school district I am and there are too many superintendents and once you reach a certain educational level there's a pay scale no matter what your job is and it goes up and up and up and up and up and I think if these schools are in such trouble which is unheard up to cut wages on the top level but how about we show good

2:41:23say then say okay superintendents you're going to take a $30,000 pay cut per superintendents you got 12 superintendents in a school district and they're all making a hundred six figures they make six figures 100 plus so Scott I'm with you I'm not pinpointing specific personnel but you get your your PhD or your doctorate oh Delilah we lost you apologize thank you for the call though Alicia in Kansas City hello hello I agree this against the traffic people in North Kansas City I was I just drove by Aniak and you know they have like those cameras up there that I guess it's traffic cameras I don't know what I'm going to fight this because they stopped me the officer told me I didn't have my seatbelt on after he looked and saw my seatbelt he told me oh I could hurry up and put it on oh what that ticket was for help fast what I have been putting my seatbelt on

2:42:25um but yeah I gave me a ticket for wearing a seatbelt what I would fight that what is what is the going rate I'm sure you're telling the truth and you were wearing your seatbelt but they gave you a ticket for not what is the going rate for not wearing a seatbelt these days it's $10 total is I was wearing my seatbelt so hopefully he has some some kind of dash camera that you could see me go by and he could see that I'm wearing my seatbelt because I wasn't wearing the same color shirt as my seatbelt you could see that it was on right and you're going to fight this yes I would not then I'm going to take it to the media and how do you fight this a cop's work against yours when you are doing what you're supposed to do well here's what I would do well I don't give legal advice uh I'm just saying as as a layman here's what I would do chances if if you end up fighting this in city court they have to show up to to to testify against you right correct I think most cops are not going to waste their precious time

2:43:30showing up for a $10 ticket for not wearing a seatbelt oh but I'm sure that he gave more than just one ticket because he was right there at that between the apartment complex and the gas station at fam giving everyone tickets well and that's fine but he would have to if everybody challenged did he would have to show up chances are he thinks or she thinks most people are just going to pay the $10 and it's the principle of the thing I told you this I got pulled over once on word parkway believed by a bicycle officer that's another story and I was in my car and he said you know what I'm going to do for you today I'm going to I'm going to make this a non-moving violation we're just going to call this a seatbelt violation this was years ago and I was like no I don't want someone I don't want someone going in I don't know to some city database someday and we'll look Dana wasn't wearing her seatbelt I was wearing my seatbelt so you'd rather they know that you were speeding I'd rather have a speeding ticket then no if I'm doing something wrong tell me I'm just well what I did was I pulled over for a bicycle I was gonna say no matter what they're

2:44:30gonna know you got to put them back by the person all day on word parkway that that happened to because he was motioning and I thought he was waving and I was like oh why do you need something no he didn't need something Dana first of all and that's not a grievance so I can challenge this nobody is going to go look up your past vehicle transgressions it was the principle of the thing I don't want somebody thinking I didn't have my seatbelt long what I did the principle is you ended up paying a hundred dollars for a speeding ticket when you could have paid ten for a seatbelt no he gave it to me as the ten but I it bothered me greatly wow Nicole in Kansas City hey guys hi so I have a grievance and to me for me it's with the insurance companies so hear me out all right but we will hear you out but don't make it a long story because we got a full board okay so I am having it upcoming surgery okay and my iron level are at a level where they're normal low so they're on the more of a low normal side but once I have
