Those of you wondering, this is a band called the Black Star Writers. They are Thin Lizzy 2.0. This is what's left of Thin Lizzy. I love Celtic Rock. Yeah. And called Celtic Infused Rock. Oh yeah. So these guys are a jam. If you ever get a chance to check them out, they've got like five records. And they came out of the ashes of what was once the Irish band Thin Lizzy and they kept the train

1:02to roll and they kick ass. Jugga, Jugga. Yeah, they do. So Commander Jesse Reed filling in today for Dana Wright. She is up in the Northeast right now. Her poor daughter. And I'll let Dana explain the story. She's going to an interview for postgraduate school and getting up to the Northeast with all the weather that they've had. The TSA concerns has been an absolute nightmare for her sweet little daughter who is just a wonderful human being. And what a pain in the neck. It has been to get up for this interview. Air travelers facing hundreds of flight cancellations and thousands of delays today in the wake of powerful storms that struck the Midwest and the Eastern Seaboard. Many airports also continue to struggle with disruption from reduced staffing at often jam security checkpoints amid a partial government shutdown that has lasted for more than a month.

2:04The shutdown started on February 14th Valentine's Day has held up paychecks for employees at the TSA. As Congress remains deadlocked over immigration issues, more than 300 TSA officers have quit. And call out rates have more than doubled. Monday had the highest call out rates so far. And at some airports more than one third of TSA staffers called out on Monday with rates at 35 percent in Houston, 37 percent in Atlanta and 39 percent in New Orleans. Keep in mind these these people, the TSA, they only make 35 to $45,000 a year. This is not a high paying job and they have to drive all the way out to an airport. Imagine being a TSA at MCI. Quick public service announcement for anyone traveling right now and I'm sure we don't have to say this to the listeners of the show

3:05because you have the best audience. And full disclosure, you are a pilot. Yes. Be nice to everybody if you're traveling and things get wonky with the weather or you're running into lines. Just don't, if you're frustrated, which is understandable, just don't take it out on those folks. They promise you or as miserable as you are. What's going on? Well, they're not in paid. Well, not just that, but I'm talking about the pilots, the air crew, the gate agents for, you know, it's not just this shutdown that's going on. It's the weather. Just realize these, these are things that they, those folks cannot control and they're doing their best. They're quick public service notes. TSA up at MCI or KCI as we so affect private call it, is a private entity they are still being paid. So don't get all they want to get started on this because we had the discussion a long time ago. You bring up a whole new topic, which is the privatization of all these government agencies. Well, I think we talked once about when the FAA, those guys were getting paid, the air traffic controllers. Was that late last year early?

4:10Yes, yeah. Try to remember, but we actually had the discussion either. I think I was on the show where we called Anderson. Yeah, you were here. But yeah, I mean, just another case to be made about some of these things, the benefit of privatizing them. Now, explain this to me, Sam and or Jesse, because I've heard that before that the TSA at KCI is a private entity. How are they private where in other cities they are part of the Department of Homeland Security? In other cities, they are part of the Homeland Security and they are paid by Homeland Security. In Kansas City, they are their own, and this isn't supposed to be a demeaning comment. So please don't take it that way. Or I'm not trying to downplay their job, think like Titan security, but on steroids, right? So they are their own security force that follows TSA protocols and get paid completely independently from the government. But under contract. Yes, to TSA, etc, etc.

5:11Another example, Scott, you might be able to identify with is when you used to drive on Fort Leavenworth on base, when your dad was there, stationed there, what were the gate guards? Were they army soldiers? There were. So sometimes you'll still go to a military installation. It'll be military police, actual folks that are actual service members, check in IDs and guard in the gates, and then sometimes you go to places and they have what's called DOD cops. These are contract essentially police officers that do the same thing. They still have to adhere the same rules. Just like the private security up at KCI has to do. They're still following the same procedures and whatnot. You can still use TSA pre-check and all that there, but it's they're contracted. So I might not understand that the TSA at KCI is still being paid. It is not TSA. Well, the company that employs these people who wear TSA uniforms is still, that makes me feel a lot better because they're not wearing TSA uniforms. Look at their uniform. It's not the blue shirt. It is very clearly says it's a different agency

6:14that is similar company. I never paid that much attention. I guess. Well, that makes me feel better because we're heading to Cancun in a couple of weeks. I'm watching the news this morning and CNN had one of their reporters up at Jackson Hartfield Airport in Atlanta. Thank you. And the line was literally out the door from the airport. People trying to get in to get checked. And fortunately for us, our flight to Cancun leaves at like 9.30 in the morning. And five guys, which is the company I always go with, they're picking us up at like 6.30 in the morning. And I was thinking about calling them. I had totally forgotten Sam that the agents up there are private or contracted. And I was going to call five guys and say, Hey, man, do we do we need to get there like super crazy stupid early, like 3.30 in the morning or five or 9 p.m.

7:16the night before? Right. And now I feel a lot better. Just bring your credit card and be ready to crank out a lot of dollars in that massage chair. That's a. Do they even have those a KCI? I know. I say that. You know, you like swipe your card there and it gives you a 10 minute back massage. They might have that in some one of the terminals or parts of the terminal. I remember while you're frustrated about the minor inconvenience back to Jesse's point, a lot of people can't fly. They can't afford it. It's a blessing to even be stuck in that airport. It's a blessing to be mad about the fact that you have a delay at TSA. Yeah, you're going on spring break. Yeah. Enjoy. I will. Tell the perception to have in the moment. But yeah. Thank you. More than a thousand flights were canceled as of midday today, 5,000 were delayed across the country according to flight aware. The disruptions were most severe at Atlanta's Hartfield Jackson International Airport, where 200 flights were canceled 500 delayed.

8:21I think probably maybe a bigger story is just that how we are so reliant on air travel and when it has a little hiccup, there are major things. You know, I've never been able to wrap my head around how they put a flight schedule together. Seriously, I'm serious because one, you know, a lot of bean counters. So for example, let's say you're the captain on flight 100 from New York to LA, right? And there's a horrible winter storm up in New York and flight 100 gets canceled. Well, that plane is needed in Los Angeles tomorrow. Yeah. So what do they do? So there is at every major airline, there is a department that's called networks and these are bean counters and they have more technology at their disposal today than maybe they did 20, 30 years

9:24ago. But you know, you got to imagine that the tickets go on sale for a flight 365 days out from that flight, essentially. They've got to already have a good idea of how many people are going to be going from one destination to another, one airport to another based on historical travel rates and things that are going on and, you know, historical weather, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They got to know which one of their airplanes because every airline has a variety of different platforms that kind of have a different mission. You've got smaller airplanes that carry less passengers, you've got wide bodies that fly international. So they've got to assign the right equipment to the right route. And then guess pretty darn accurately which one of those planes is going to get filled up almost completely full gambling odds makers. It is a science to say the least and it's a way above my paper. Do they ever fly like, let's say flight 100 gets canceled? Do they ever fly an empty plane from one city to another because it's got to be there? They will. Yeah, that's

10:24called a fairy flight. So a lot of times they'll be, you know, if you're sitting at home as an airline pilot and you're not currently on duty, you may get a phone call where they offer up, hey, there's a flight. We need to get a plane from point A to point B to service because a plane had a maintenance issue, a plane got delayed, a plane had to land somewhere else because of weather and got diverted. And now you are trying to scramble to get one of the spare planes where it needs to be to keep the mission going. And as you, and as everyone has seen the accordion fact because, you know, especially domestically, you know, you got an hour turn time when a plane lands before it's off to another destination. The rules are, there's, you know, a hiccup in that stream. It's the accordion fact is immense. Commander Jesse Reed-Philin and today for Dana Wright, same Steve as the third. My name is Scott Parks.

Life can feel overwhelming, but on my podcast, from the heart with Rachel Brayton, we're in it together. Every Friday brings you a new story. Listen to From the Heart with Rachel Brayton, wherever you get your podcasts.

12:33So we mentioned a similar story yesterday in the five o'clock hour. This is from CBS News. Spring break takeovers, and the word takeovers is in quotes, has started to overwhelm some Florida cities and local officials. The massive gatherings are organized on social media and post danger quote because they are organized by promoters. And the city is not aware of it, says commissioner Stacy Cantu from Daytona Beach. In Daytona Beach, Florida, large crowd, a present for a so-called beach takeover event fled after hearing what they thought were gunshots. Apparently it was people crushing water bottles to start a stampede. What? I'm still unclear what this actual event is a takeover. We're not young anymore, Jesse. We're not meant to understand. Also crushing a flash dance, crushing water bottles does not sound anything like gunshots. I guess depends on

13:35what you're crushing them with. Are you crushing them with bullets? Are you putting a gun or are you putting mintos in a bottle of die coke? When I was growing up, you know, we had those little like the regular, what is it, 12 ounce water bottle, the super thin plastic that we all have microplastics in our brains now for. We thought it was cool that you could drink all the water out of it and then twist it super tight. And then if you like slowly took the cap off, it would shoot the cap all the way across the classroom. It made a pretty loud noise. In no way did it sound like a gunshot. And these spring break takeovers is basically just, you can't stop all of us. Is that what it is? We're going together in a large group and be annoying just because we can. It is mass mayhem for the sake of mass mayhemness. So I saw something interesting in London a few weeks ago. I'm standing at a street corner to walk

14:36across. I'm like looking for a place to eat. And then no less than 500 kids on bicycles of varying ages, somewhere it looked like middle school age, some look like young adults. Just from all sorts of corners from behind me, different alleyways all just come pouring in and they just take over the street. They stop traffic and they're just weaving through traffic. And I mean, I got real skinny because they literally were flying past you two inches from you. And I just didn't move because I didn't want to get hit by one of them. And they're yelling at people that are trying to cross a street. What are they yelling? Just get out of the way. Like they kind of owned the street. And then finally they all cleared out and I looked at the person standing at the crosswalk next to me. And I said, what was that all about? They're like, oh, it's just something they do on Sundays here. The kids and I go just drive around like a bunch of maintenance. They were on bicycles. The bicycle equivalent of a side show. Bicycles and they're hauling ass and cars are screeching on their brakes and stopping and yeah, it was aggressive.

15:41It was enough where I did not want to move. I thought I was going to get hit by a bicycle. I know I'm dropping some breaking news here, but kids are dumb. And they just did. That's just in. Yeah, but we did dumb stuff when I was a kid. I've told you a thousand times about jumping the crazy bump on Highway 5 in Leavenworth County and in my mom's Mercedes and fertilizing green at a golf course with nine iron. I think the dumb stuff we did though. It was air reading. I was air reading the goal before you fertilize. The dumb stuff we did I think would only hurt ourselves though. I think the same point. The dumb stuff kids are doing now. It starts to endanger other people. Like, and I've made no secret of it. And I was dumb and I was young and I was drunk and I've vandalized the Leavenworth Country Club, golf course, a couple holes. And one of my greatest regrets in life and if I could go back and just grab that my 17-year-old

16:42self by the scruff of his neck, I would have beaten him to a pulp before he went out there. Could your self now beat your 17-year-old self up? Yeah, probably. Okay, just checking. Well, I'm a lot heavier than I used to. I just lay on top of him. When I was 17, I was like 150 pounds wet. Billy flop. And yeah, I would just tackle him and just lay on him and say iron claw, having trouble breathing, son. But me too. Wow. Wow. But now I would go back and I would just, I would punch my 17-year-old self right in the face and knock him out before he went out on that golf course. But I wasn't physically putting anybody else in danger. And my dad was, when word got around that I was one of the four involved, my dad wasn't having anything to do with it and he drove me straight to the police station, turned me in and he should have. And I would have done the same thing. And I respect him for it at the time I didn't because I was in big trouble,

17:48but I do now. But we weren't putting anybody else in danger. And when now you could argue when you're jumping the crazy bump on highway five, if somebody had to be coming the other way, we could have potentially put them in danger. But we weren't stopping traffic on fourth street in 11 worth or doing side shows or anything stupidly. I don't understand. I just wonder if these kids aren't getting hugged enough at home. And they just need the attention of other people looking at them and yelling at them and trying to discipline them. Well, it's the escalation of it, right? Because if they were to hear the stories that you're sharing now, and I'm not suggesting that you're causing more kids to do dumber things because of you sharing your stories, but well, I'm sharing also my regret. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. What I'm saying is that we look at growing up, I did a lot of dumb things. And I would look back at the stories that I heard from my mom. And I'm like, well, I can be more dumb than that. You know, you got to one up it

18:51in a way. You got to try to, it's like with the whole tee peeing thing going back and forth. And I mentioned last week when we were talking about tee peeing that I may or may not have covered my neighbor's concrete driveway with mustard. That was a way of one-uping the stupidity. Fun fact, mustard stains concrete driveways. I did not know that your friends parents don't necessarily appreciate it when you write and bad words and put less than acceptable designs on their driveway and mustard, and then it stays around for a while. You said may or may not, hopefully it was may not. Yeah. But I think this is the design. Sam, was it something that only 50% of the American population has? 49%. Yeah. And so these kids, specifically with the beach takeovers, it gets to a certain point where it's less about doing it because they think it's funny and almost subconsciously more about causing somebody else trouble for the sake of being funny. Have you seen that trend that's, and you can see them when you get in your doom scrolling modes, they keep popping up

19:55when I do jump on social media. And it's the, it's the guy standing in a supermarket or home depot. And some guys looking at something on the shelf and they throw this huge thing of glitter and stuff that like sticks to you up in the air. So it's going to fall on the person who's unaware of it. And then they turn around and you see this person like flower or graffiti or something, you know, falls on them and they go, what the heck just happened? And they turn around and look and the guy who threw it's acting, you know, like you don't know what you're doing. Some off a shelf. Oh, man, what happened? Where did that come from? And there's people giggling in the background like they think it's hilarious. I'm like, that's actually, it's a battery. I mean, you technically, you're right. Yeah, that is that is unwanted and semi permanent. Can you imagine if you got glitter bombed in a store? Oh, I would know what happened. Because I've seen it. There would be a distance. 913, 586, there'd be some more battery occurring. 913, 586, 777, 985, 866, 777, 985, here on Daemon Park.

21:01Just real quick, an update from Dana who just flew into New York City for the first time in her entire life. Oh, now I've been to New York many a time. My parents were both from New York. And would never want to live there. My mom did in the Bronx, but would never want to live there. But it's a wonderful city to visit. And Dan just wrote, she was holy blank. I had no idea we fly in over water and then bam, you're on the ground. I thought we were going to crash in the Hudson. It's like a meteorite hitting in Ohio. I wrote, you're obviously at LaGuardia, flown into that airport a thousand times. She goes, I about pooped myself. I thought we were having a water landing. So if you've, if you've never flown into LaGuardia, I think that's in Queens, is it not? It's pretty close. Yeah. When you, you're coming down and all you see a city and land and it's a great view. Yeah, it is. And then all you see outside the window when you're

22:06getting really low to the ground is water out the side windows. There's a couple of airports like that. Boston, depending on what runway your landing is like that. San Francisco, you come in over the water. Yeah. Let's go to George in Parkville, George. Hello. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Hello, George. Hello. Number one, Mr. Parks. I admire that you admit to do stupid stuff as a young man. I did. And I did the same thing. I grew up in rural Topeka, Kansas. And we used to go up by Holton and high a lot and cut the locks off the water towers and go swimming in them. Oh, my. Oh, my. That's dumb. Well, yeah, that's a federal offense. Now, did you drive yourself to the police station also, George? No, sir. Okay. I guess, I guess the more appropriate institution would have been an FBI branch. Yeah, we've provided ourselves with

23:09total anonymity. Anyway, longtime listener, several time caller. Great show. Well, thank you. Thank you very much. You're very kind to say that. Do appreciate it. 913-586-7798. New research has revealed what women love most about other women in their lives. And it has everything to do with what's on the inside, not on the outside. A new poll of 2,000 women unveiled that grit, resilience, humor, and intelligence, outshine beauty in a good fashion sense. Wouldn't we say that about just about any sort of relationship, whether it's what a man's looking for in a woman, what a woman's looking for in a man, or what you're looking for in a friend? You'd like to hope so for sure. I mean, I don't care that Jesse's built like a brick poop house in his good looking and as a top gun power. Hey, we talked about this. No means no. No means no. We till after the show and we'll see if we can turn that into a yes. Wow.

24:13Okay, you just drank skylight run for my car. Just so you can go out the back door. I'm gonna roll the guys at six. But no, I mean, I like humor in a in a friend. I want intelligence in a friend, somebody who challenges me and makes me think, and I don't want a dumb friend who's not funny. I love, like, and this is a little inside baseball. But before the show, everybody basically turns around and their chairs out in the newsroom and we just have like a 20 minute gap fest. Just hold core is banter. Just hold core. Some of us try to work, but yeah. Not very hard, Sam. I saw you today. And we just basically tell stories and laugh and fart jokes and and it's just fun. There's a little more sophisticated than that. No, no, it's not. I asked Carrington what his favorite iron maiden song was because he was wearing an iron maiden t-shirt and he doesn't listen to iron

25:15maiden bandwagon. Can't wear the t-shirt if you don't listen to the band. That's a fact. It sounds like this article basically says that ladies look at each other like Oreos, the good stuff's on the inside. Yeah. Aw. What a nice quote. Yeah, you can put that in your chicken soup for the solar or whatever book. I got to be honest, I would not have put that in the stack today for the old dude show. There's nothing ladies love better than guys talking about what women want. I thought it was why women actually look for and men and then we could joke about it and you know, have a misogynistic segment and then move on. But what I was trying to do was incorporate the female listening audience back into the show. Even though yes, it is a sausage party. I get it. Okay. And so I was trying to put a story in that I. Well, so there's no way to everything. Doesn't that go against the whole theory of we do it for other women, not for men. And I'm referencing like dressing up that Botox, cosmetic changes, things like that. The sentiment is always,

26:19we don't do it to impress men. We do it to impress other women. Well, it sounds like the other women don't care. So then why are you doing it? I think that's not a true statement they say. I think they're doing it to be attractive. Why do you work out and eat well? Because of the benefits of feeling good because I ate like junk and drink beer every day and you don't have a single aesthetic goal in your body though. Like is any of it aesthetic. It has morphed into that because of goals that I'm trying to attain. That's okay. From the physical field. Yeah. But it's not about how I look. No, I have body dysmorphia. Yeah, you do. I have no idea what I look like. But what I was what I was trying to get at and correct me if I'm wrong. Please. You work out a lot. Yeah. And you eat really, really well, not to impress anyone but to feel better about yourself. I do it to impress myself. Yeah, I try to beat myself every day. Okay. And so what I'm saying is to your point regarding why

27:25would women get Botox or fashion sense. They're not doing it to necessarily. And I can't speak for a woman, but I'm just spitballing here for a minute. They're doing it to feel better about themselves. You know, why am I on Thursday night? I'm going to get my haircut. Why? Yeah. Why am I getting my haircut? Because I want to look nice for myself. I mean, I do the same thing. I dress a certain way when I go into the office and it's not to impress anyone. It is kind of a confidence thing. It's sort of a mindset. Makes you feel better. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I dress the way I do and I know that everybody makes fun of me for it. I dress like a 17-year-old boy and I get it. And I dress the way I do because I'm clearly not trying to impress either one of you. I have no need to attract another female. I have one. And she kind of likes the way that I dress.

28:28Well, and it's actually funny you mentioned that because, and I've mentioned it before, I tried the Scott Park's uniform to work every day for about a month. And my mental health plummeted. And see, this dance shut up. I mean, it went through the floor, man, because I was like, what are you doing with your life? Sam, that's the number one thing for me, man. Like, I think more than anything that they've working out and all that for me is a major mental health stress release kind of thing. I mean. But see, for me, my mental health, I think, goes because I feel comfortable in what I wear. My mom hates it. My mom absolutely hates the way that I dress for work. But I don't dress to impress my mom. I dress because this makes me, when I'm on the air, this makes me feel comfortable. And that's why I dress the way that I do. I dress like I did when I was in high school. So then wouldn't that rain true for most people? I mean, this study is obviously about women.

29:29It's surveyed women. Yeah. What do you mean? Tell me more about how it's not so much about the shell and more about what's in the goodness inside you. Yeah. It was just really feeling. Yeah. Yeah, probably. I mean, at its foundation, it should be. But I think I'll written by a man or a woman. I'm curious about that. It's written by my guesses. It would be written by a woman. Would you say AI? Who knows these days? Who knows if who's reading the news at night on TV is AI or a real person anymore? My God. Chris Kets is real. Chris Kets is real. He is a man of men. He is this city's anchor man. He's a national treasure. He is. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I want to feel comfortable my own skin. And I think whether you're a man or a woman, I think that rings true. I'm sure somebody in the text line will fill us in on the real deal here.

30:31Well, somebody just wrote it. I'm checking back in on the show and it's still sucks. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. 61. Thanks for listening. Thanks for listening. 913. Welcome back. See you tomorrow. See you next time. 913-586-7798-586-7798. You're on Damon Parks. Do you have a dark curiosity? Heart starts pounding.

32:35That was a great keyboard solo, Air Solo just now, Scott. Thank you. I know there are one hit wonder here in the States, but I have a deep collection of aha records. You're a big fan? I am a big fan. A big fan. I think the Air, the keyboard Air Solo only involves one finger, not a whole chord, though. It's just one finger. Are we really analyzing our board? Oh, yeah. We have only take on me solos. Well, you guys made fun of my drum solo, Air Solo one. So, um, okay. From the text line, I like to collect and wear different calones, not to attract or impress anyone, but they help me get into a mindset, whether that is a sense of professionalism, comfort, or to even bring back memories. Also, from the text line, I'm a 70 year old woman, retired from the corporate world. At first, you definitely dress to impress how your dress makes a lot of difference and who will approach you and how they'll approach you before they ever find out the goodness of the Oreo on

33:40the inside. So, for example, uh, and I don't I don't remember the name. It's a very nice, uh, mid-expensive cologne that tea buys me, um, for my birthday and then for Christmas. And I, sex panther, brute, stings, the nuts, cool, cool water, but in a good way. I, I don't, I can't remember what name it is. I can't remember the name of the eternity. It doesn't matter. But every once in a while, um, I'll be at the store and I will buy, like, my store, I mean, grocery store. And I'll buy some old spice. It's like, four months being my grandpa. It's like, four, fifty, five dollars a bottle. Cheapest cologne on the market. And from time to time, when I'm getting ready in the morning, getting ready to leave for work, I will throw some of that on because that's what my dad wore. And it reminds me of my dad. And so when I'm driving to work and I can smell myself, you know, can put a little dabble here, a little dabble there. And it just reminds me of my dad.

34:42And it's a nice drive to work. The barber shop I go to, they do like a straight razor trail or the back of the neck. And, you know, so they put the warm shaving cream on. And then they put afterwards some kind of barber shop specific something that's like after shave, kind of, but it's, but it's very specific to the smell of a barber shop. And that's pure nostalgia. You know, you have to be a barber to a licensed barber to use a straight edge on somebody's neck. Well, I believe that. It's a weapon. Well, it's a large blade. Yeah. But like my hairdresser, who I'll see on Thursday, she is not a barber. Wait, did you say hairdresser? She's my stylist. Okay, whatever. She does do a straight edge on my neck because I love it. But she has to use, by law, she has to use a very small blade. She can't use the big whoosh that they use at the barber shop. Switch blade. And how do you identify licensed barber? I can tell you. It should be hanging prominently displayed at their station. No, no.

35:47The red, white, and blue circular rotating sign out front. Only a barber can use those devices. I can't remember the historical kind of that has a, it's a very symbolic. There's a lot of tradition in that symbol, right? I mean, when you guys are going to tell me, where's Dan, when we need him? Oh, he's coming in. He heard the barber shop, the barber pull. Dan, do you know the history behind why barbers can use that rotating red, white, and blue thing out front? It's dim. I don't exactly remember, but I know that barbers used to be surgeons. Yes, it stems from medieval Europe where barber surgeons performed blood-letting surgery and dentistry. The red and white stripes represent the blood stain and the white clean bandages hung on the pole to dry. Twisting in the wind, later blue was added in American interpretations to represent venous blood or patriotism. Well, those are, that's a leap.

36:48I don't know now if I want to have the blood-letting associated with this straight razor shave on the back, let's trim off the top and some blood-letting. I did not know they used to be surgeons. Oh, yeah, and dentists and everything. Jack of all trades, master of none. I'll be darned. You want to make sure they're slicing properly.
