I mean, it is absolutely totally totally fine. 86 today. Then next couple of days, little warmer 88 and a chance to rain this weekend. I, oh boy, I'm looking at this forecast. And if you're going to do the Auburn game, yeah, you're not supposed to take an umbrella into the stadium. You can take a poncho. And there's a 60% chance, but they took the lightning bolt out of the the eight day. So I don't know, maybe it's just rain because you don't want a lightning delay. That's not something that you would want. Certainly at a, at a football game, Tennessee game. Interesting. I mean, I guess you got to practice for the rain too, because if it rains, they're going to play. If it storms, yeah, it's a different thing. Rain's one thing,

1:04storms and other. Hey, great to have you. My name is Phil Whitman. I love you. And a thing you can do about it is Wednesday morning later on, Neil Denton digs in the dirt.

What should I do with it? Well, if you have a question, if it grows, Neil Denton knows. And I'm so proud to get with him. I'm thinking about thinking about it because I had that because I did it last year or year before. Whenever was it did it. I did the overseas in the front yard. You're just in the small part of the yard, not the big, you know, back 40 all happened. And it looks good. The question is you do do it. How often do you do it? Is my question. Okay. Sorry if I overseeded last year or year before last, you know, when should I do that? So anyway, Neil's going to be on and he can certainly answer any question you and I may have. Did you hear about? Yeah. 24 year old David Rudolph Jen Rathies and eight of a Franklin Tennessee arrested

3:12Monday on charges of theft of trade secrets and computer tampering reports from Auburn police. Yeah. Evidently, this guy stole some information and sold it to opponents. Well, what about? Linkett or, you know, a former Auburn employee arrested for leaking trade secrets. I don't know that we got any of those. I didn't get any. I don't know if Josh Hype will do or not, but we'll see.

Sometimes I'll be chawing on it. My wife will elbow me in church. Stop chomping. Bow. You know, here again, they're chewing gum. It's what

4:18holds those boring claims together. Today's pet tricks day. Pet tricks day. Uh, best pet trick maybe by the president. How does he get that Wolverine to stay on that head like that? And it changes color sometimes. That latest gentleman to me is quite fascinated. All right. Uh, biggest story. You got to know is, you know, and whether or not you, however you believe whatever. Uh, Christy Gail Pike convicted. She killed Coling slimmer. And she used a meat cleaver, a box gutter for about 30 minutes. Her forehead and chest were carved with pentagrams. Her execution has garnered attention from the United Nations because at the

5:20time evidently that the murder occurred a lot of satanic activities. Quote and quote, we're going on in the US. Come on. Um, by the way, the victim also suffered multiple instances of sexual abuse and assault. Uh, yeah. Look, Christ is now 50 year old. She says she's a remorseful woman understands her action. She says she's not afraid to die. She just done like the process. Okay. Well, yeah. I'm not afraid to die. I just, you know, it's that whole thing for getting up a bus today. I got a couple of things I'd like to do. Uh, wait a laughter football lord. Phil show news talk 987 and the Trump administration's ban on one billion dollars with a Canadian imports, including some alcoholic drinks went into effect yesterday.

Gonna be another beautiful sunrise this morning. It's gonna be nice and it it is

9:35gonna get warmer and it is more than likely at some point, especially Saturday. Gonna rain. Now we'll talk to Neil didn't come in. Now we do need some rain. I guess we need some rain. We're getting into the drier months. So as the Neil would always say all rain is beneficial rain. It'll help the color of the leaves and all of that. And yeah, and it ain't gonna be long. I'm gonna be backpacking and backpacked lower and blowing them around and getting them down there and mulching them up. Oh boy. That is so much fun. I mean, I got wiped. And I'm about to say I'm getting there over this. But you know what you go on. You're one foot in front of the other and breathe. That's what Pat Soma talked to us about and all of that. So we're gonna try to do that. Oh boy, coming up this hour you're gonna hear the cue to call

10:37to quantify for a decked system for your car or for your truck SUV for you or for a gift for somebody. These drawers man, they pull their under you. It's the latest thing and it is absolutely awesome. Hey, here's a guy. Here's a guy who is the best producer in the United States of America. That man's name is Landon Don't. Good morning boss. Can't see your shirt. Muppets. Oh cool. Ah, nice and whimsical. Let's see. You know, let's take it. Yeah. Don't get too serious today. Why would I? I know that, right? We gotta try. That's our job here. You know, you hear the news. It's all going, oh, the economy. This, that blah blah blah. So you try to line it up a bit. Hey, here's a question. How many bears can pile into a sedan? That would be seven. No, no five. Five is the magic word. Mama and her four cups. So they're in Gallenburg. And the video shows Mama Bayer opening the car door by herself for the cups.

11:46So I can't pile in here and get this get these snacks. Well, of course, bears have manners. Oh, holy. And the woman who filled it to the a film that said, you know, I'm sure that I'm glad they didn't come into my car. Next we had snacks and chocolate. And the woman who's just filming, it starts beeping her horn. And the bears go, what the heck? We don't care. We're bears. We're bears. Uh-huh. Go beep yourself. And the problem is, human beings have fed the bears. And now 60. Most of them in severe county have had to be euthanized. Had some friends come into town not long ago. From Holland and they stayed in Gallenburg and they said they were eating outside. Well, you're eating outside on you had a cabin, which is it's fine. But all of a sudden they see these two paws come up over the rail and then here comes a head.

12:53I feel like we should probably move inside at that point. That's exactly what they do. You see a bear near dumpster all that's just back away. If it comes inside your cabin, how whatever just leave the doors open. You know, if it's in your backyard, you could make some loud noises, but you know, they get into bird feeders a lot. Don't run. Cause bear might chase you. Matter of fact, it could trigger a situation response. If the bear comes up to you, strike up a conversation with the bear. Say, look, I heard you guys in the, no, make loud noises. Make me make sounds big as you can. And if they charge you, use the bear spray or don't play dead. Bear doesn't care. Obviously, he just thinks you're a Buick. He's going to try to open you up. It sucks, man, because people started feeding bears. And a lot of this is unfortunately learned.

13:53But now it's not all, but most of this, I think is learned behavior feeding bear. Rob and Jaffee lives in North. So do you ever ever see bears at your place? I've never seen one. Well, I did see a video of one that was near a car dealership where I live. He was just kind of walking through the lot and then walked across interstate 75. Okay, walked you. That's not good. Don't walk. No, it's not. No, don't be doing that. We see at our house, we see quite a few deer and this. I don't, I thought I did, but I don't think I've ever seen a bear really in my yard. But within walking distance, where they've been there over at the golf course one time, this was a couple of years ago. There were like three big bears on the golf course at Danards. Do you play through or just that's a great question. Depends on how the rounds go. That's a great idea. You play, you can't play through or over you. Well, I had a couple of buddies. It's like, hey,

14:57man, there's a barricot. He's been moving around golf course. Shoot the skull. They're getting their golf cart and put some beer and go chat or get us go watch it. Take pictures. All that stuff. They didn't approach it, but they just kind of like their bear watching with beer. Bears could like beer. Oh, I guarantee they would. I guarantee they would. Now there's one up at where my daughter lives and wears Valley and a guy who lives near her has put out now. This was a thing as of this week. And he put out like a blackberry pie. Real one. Just above that black berry. And he's got it lit because the bear's been getting his garage fridge outdoor fridge. So that's a big bear too. I've seen video. So what is God is these railroad horns, truck, you know, you don't talk about right? Right in front of or right behind actually the blackberry pie. And it's on a switch. So if the bear comes to get that blackberry pie, that train horn is going to go off.

16:10But with the bear care. Oh, with this one, they will. Okay. Because we're talking it's less than about a foot from the past. Oh goodness. And I don't think that a bear knows what a train horn is. But I guarantee you, you say what does a while bear in the woods, I guarantee you go right in. I think the bear in the neighbors would. Oh, but you know what? But I think all the neighbors have been alerted to. They say, you know, if you hear this, this is what this is. There's a train hole. Yeah, but even still if you knew it's coming, it's always still going. But what you would wake up and then you might smile, go, okay, I hope bear got it. You know, that kind of big. Man. All right. Great to have you on the field show today's blast for me day. Blast that's blasphemy. I'll start. Uh, George Clooney is Batman. You take that back. George Clutch blasphemy. You thought Clooney was a good Batman? No. That's what I'm saying. It's blasphemy that he played Batman. We all know Ben Affleck was the

17:15best Batman. Well, I don't know about that either. I'm not sure about that. All right. Great to have you on Newsdog 987W. Okay. I it's the field show. All right, howl are in the Hilton Hill on the Santana and three my brother from another mother. Yeah, I mean. You know, you're she's getting executed and now, but I guess four and a half hours, something like that. And for the past few days, they've had to tradition protocol is to watch.

18:15The inmate know lights off. In other words, you'd lights on all the time. So you got it, you know, you got to try to sleep with the lights on and all that. And uh, she says you're not afraid to die and just done like a process and all of that stuff. Well, why understand it? It's one injection and the one injection and I guess you just go to sleep. Don't reckon it hurts. Um, Guy don't reckon it hurts. But and you know, the all while we have an ex-gitter to me and she realizes what she did and today should be over. Does that mean that the family of her victim uh, I don't, I don't know. I made sure they would get some closure. Some don't know.
