You and S.co. You're listening to the Dana and Parks podcast on KMBZ. Well, a good Monday afternoon. I hope everybody had a great weekend. Two hummingbirds sighted in the park's backyard. You already got two. Little ones, though, just tiny little. They're all tiny. Oh. I thought they'd be bigger. I had two on my evergreen tree over the weekend, which confused me, but they were hanging out. Wrong way. Wrong way. Yeah. Wrong way. Tiger berries are that way, brother. On a walk with a birdie this morning. Oh, there go. Speaking of birds. And just walkie, walkie, walkie, walkie. And a morning dove fell out of the sky. and almost hit the dog. Landed in the grass, stunned. We don't know where it came from. Was it dead? It was not. And by the time I heard that this had happened, I get up and go out there to see if this bird is in distress. Clearly. You know, Johnny was just like, get the dog away from the bird because the dog was like, and the bird was gone. And I just, I've never seen a bird fall out of the sky before or heard of that happening. There's a couple little feathers where he was, if you know what I mean. And then that was it. So I don't know. I'm wondering if he may have been accosted in the tree. I don't know. The only thing up above was power lines. Are you an avian grim reaper or something? It kind of seems that way. The chimney swifts, the birds falling out on top of the porch. You guys, I seriously went out to see if the bird needed help and he was gone. And then I was like, what am I going to do? Call Operation Wildlife, which I guess is what you would do? For a dove? For a dove that just fell out of the sky and kong. I mean, maybe if it was like a hawk or something with some talons or something. This is a message to all birds out there. If you see Dana fly away. Run. Run. Wow. Yeah. Somebody said on the text line, it's possible the heat is taking animals out too. Oh, I hope you're wrong. I hope you're wrong. But that's an interesting hypothesis. How did it go seeing the kids off for college? I have two children now on the East Coast and they are doing great. In fact, have not. How's mom doing? I'm doing okay. They are so excited, Scott. I have not heard. It's as it should be when the birds fly the nest. They are just living life. I said this morning, you know, if you could maybe FaceTime me and show me the new digs, that'd be great. And they're like, Mom, we don't have Wi-Fi yet. So they are there. They are thrilled to be there. My two left me and you had one come back. Yeah, but after two and a half months in Europe. Yeah. Yeah, she's finally back. And thank God. Who all watched Ted Lassow over the weekend. Let's have it out. We did. We did too.

It was a beautiful love letter to Kansas City. Why are you pausing? Daniel Manning Elementary? That's hilarious. It was too much. Beasler, the sob on the kids team. It's so lovely. Listen, as a Kansas Cityan, and I know that I am going up against the brain with the three of you, as a Kansas cityan, I was amused and entertained. Yes. From a purely cinematic, good TV, if I live anywhere else in this country other than Kansas City, what the hell did I just waste 34 minutes of my life doing? They had to set up, and I'm not spoiling anything. You know the entire season is. him agreeing to coach a women's team. They had to have a setup for how that fork in his road happens. Absolutely. And it was the best kind of setup that all of his colleagues fly in to come ambush him in Kansas City to try to get him to come back. That's the only spoiler we're giving. That's it. No other spoilers. That's it. I'd like to walk out to four inflated tires as he was. I mean, if you haven't watched it by now, we've got a new episode. I know. That's right. It's lovely. As a Kansas Cityan, I thoroughly enjoyed it. If I lived in Cincinnati or Detroit or Seattle, I'm thinking... It wouldn't mean anything then. Exactly. It's just, you're just watching a show and, okay, this is how they're getting him to agree to do this thing. I thought it was fine. You're overthinking it. Mm-hmm. Can Rebecca drop more barbecue sauce on herself? I said no more spoilers. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I give out a huge plot line there? Well, that was already written in the Ken City Star. But yes, I think everyone should watch it. You will smile. You'll giggle at some of the Easter eggs. You'll see the plaza. I thought it was lovely. Okay. I took in the Odyssey yesterday. All right, let's get to it. Let's get to it. How was it? Wow. I think I'm still processing it. I went with my buddy who had already seen it, and we took it in at Screenland Armour in 70 mil, which was absolutely incredible. He had already seen it in 35 mil and said it was 10 times better in 70 mil. Okay, so find one of the theaters around town that does the 70 thing. How many do? Only two. There's one, Olathe, and then there's one at Screenland Armor. Those are projectors, by the way. Only two projectors in the city. Man, we joke about long movies and when are you going to get up to go to the bathroom. There is no point in this movie where you can get up and go to the bathroom. You're like the third person that has told me that. It jumps timelines so much that there were multiple times that I watched like groups of five or six people get up and go to the bathroom and they came back two or three minutes later and I'm certain they had no idea what was going on when they came back. But I'm going to watch it again. It moves that quickly. Mm-hmm. So my oldest son watched it twice and was thrilled to do it. Like the second time he goes, I cannot wait to go back and see it. And I wonder if it's one of those, Sam, where it's, you've got to be paying such attention. Would you read up on it first? Would that be helpful, do you think, for people? I mean, if you have a pretty good understanding of the story of Odysseus.

You'll pretty much be able to follow what's going on. If you have no idea about the story of Odysseus, the entire thing is going to be very confusing. Who the hell's Odysseus? Oh, my God. This was something we were supposed to study in high school, Scott. I'm just going to let that one linger out there on the radio waves. with no answer. Remember when Brad... Like a boxer or something? Remember when Brad Pitt starred in the movie Troy? And I looked at Dave Helling after he saw it over a weekend. He was my co-anchored at the time at Channel 5. And I said, does he play Troy? Those words came out of my mouth, Scott. On the air? Off the air. And Dave, as only Dave can do, went... D-write. You are D-Rome. Troy is a place. Brad Pitt plays Achilles. Like, I don't know. All the trailers were like, Troy. And I'm like, oh, he's a guy named Troy. Like, I didn't know. Maybe you and I should not go see this movie together. Well, I'm going to see it. I just don't think I can see it in a theater. I mean, for the second week in a row, we flirted with it again. Right. We did too. And I'm just like, do I really want to? carve out that big of a chunk of a weekend to go see a movie when I could wait until it comes out on streaming and then do it like, you know, half on a Saturday, half on a Sunday. You could stop and Google what was happening because you didn't know about Troy and Odysseus. I will say that... Tell me who Odysseus is. Well, I will. After you see the movie? He is the star of the Odyssey. Okay. Oh, my. I'm saddened for you guys. I think most people don't know, Sam. My daughter said she did not study up on it prior, and she still really loved it. It was awesome, absolutely. And the way that he told the tale and jumped timelines 20 years ahead, 20 years back, that's all I'll say. But it was really, really good. It is long. But if you're going to watch it at home, we always talk about movies that are built for the theater. This is one of those where at times it's so quiet. And then it just absolutely explodes in the sound. If you try to put that on your television and turn it up loud enough that you can hear the quiet parts, you will blow the speakers on the loud parts. So you need a soundbar if you're going to watch it at home. Tell Dana that part about the phone where they let you know at this theater how much time is left. Oh, yeah. So this particular theater, they print out on the ticket what time the movie is expected to end. That's actually helpful. It was awesome. And so I talked to Rob about it from 965 The Fan, and he said that like two and a half hours in, he felt like it was too long. But since I knew when it was going to end, I was kind of checking my watch, first of all, to make sure that I wasn't going to. P myself. Second, because I was like, there's a lot to wrap up here. And I, you know, oh, it's, it was supposed to end at 722. I look at my watch. Oh, it's 7.11. How are they going to bring this entire story together in 11 minutes? It is just nonstop action. Three straight hours of awesomeness. I can't wait. I think, Scott, you will like it in the theater because you like that explosion. You like the visual and the, yeah, I think we should go see it. I also don't like to inflame my bladder. I know. And get to the.

Restroom at least once in a three-hour movie. Speaking of Brad Pitt, he's in our stack today. Did you see the headline? Is it possible? He just did this interview with, you know, variety or GQ or somebody looking fabulous. Is it possible to be sober for several years and then decide you are going off the wagon? Yes. And try to do it responsibly. No. His entire interview, the, I'm sure they talked about a thousand things, the one thing that is in every headline today is that Brad Pitt is no longer sober. Really? That is correct. Huh. We'll talk about it when we come back. Okay. Telephone number here is 913-5-867798. Dan Weinbaum, Sam. Dana, my name is Scott, here on KMBZ. A story here from the USA Today, originally from Esquire magazine. Brad Pitt's family troubles have taken their toll on him. The Oscar-winning actor, who's been in a years-long legal battle with ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, opened up about his mental health journey amid the personal drama in an interview with Esquire that was published earlier today. Says Pitt, who's now 62. I was never suicidal in any way. It was just not my makeup. In fact, if I have any afflictions, it's probably being an optimist, which has helped many times. And it's also gotten me, I've walked foolishly head on into a Mack truck because of my optimism. It goes on to say that he is no longer sober. I guess their divorce battle lasted eight years. One of the things I thought to myself when I read that line was that's on you. What's on you? That that lasted eight years. That is on the both of them for not figuring that out and dragging it out. And then that's bad for the kids. It's bad financially. The lawyers all win. And it's because they were fighting over some winery and France or something. Yes. During part of his sobriety. So listen to this. The interviewer shows up to do this interview for Esquire magazine. And when he arrives... Brad Pitt says, can I offer you a glass of wine? And the interviewer said, is this just for guests? You know, kind of made a comment about it. And he kind of smirked and said, ah, I got back off the wagon. And then they talked about it. He said that he was sober for seven years. And now, quote, I drink alcohol in a more restrained manner. I got overconfident a couple of times. He said, yep, not good for me, he explained, not in big quantities. Asked if this means he can enjoy a glass of wine. The Ocean's 11 actor then added, yeah, well, I can have a few, but I can't have a lot. I have to be professional about it. And he's done several interviews about his...

sobriety journey and now he is drinking he claims in moderation whatever he's an adult he can do what he wants he wants that's right but i think one of the questions scott for us anyone listening that has not had alcoholism touched them in their family or with a close person in your life or any of those things is are there some people out there who have a snapshot in their lives where you're just a wreck okay and i think he would acknowledge that during that time when he was drunk on a plane and yelling like he was a wreck right then he chooses sobriety for seven years and alcohol is now back in his life why you can't speak for him that would not be for you and i've got a good friend who says i can't have one i'll have a thousand and one okay the old adage is one's too many and the thousand's not enough right so are there some people on this continuum for whom yeah you can knock it off for seven years and then you can have a glass of wine at dinner and you're fine and that doesn't turn in to 20 drinks Then you probably don't have the disease, would be my guess. He was just out of control for a snapshot in time during a divorce. And just because you drink too much doesn't make you alcoholic. It's very hard to describe what it's like being an alcoholic to somebody who's not. And I'm not taking a high road here. No, I know you're not. If anything, I took the low road for a long time. It's really hard to put it into words what it feels like. And then literally waking up every day, do I flee or do I fight? What am I going to do? And it doesn't consume your every thought, not even close. But it's always in the back recess of your mind, always. One of our listeners described it. If someone was thumping you in the forehead every second of the day, for them, that is what it was like, that there was always this early on. Early on. And I just, you know, the danger in his honesty with this is you don't want people to see this who truly are an alcoholic and say, well, I can do that. I'm just going to have one glass of wine at dinner at night and then you're back right where you started. But I do. I have always believed not everyone can be put in that box where this is what you have. And I believe it is, no, I believe it is what you have, Scott. What's in the box? And I believe we all know people in our lives where you think, yeah, they could probably pull it back a little bit. But is it the disease or is it not the disease? And maybe for him it was never the disease. He was just... More power to him. Yeah. But that's not a road that I can go on. Correct. I just can't. And I have to accept that. I have to live with that. And, you know, have I made mistakes? Have I fallen? Yes. Relapse doesn't have to be a part of your story. And I'm not sitting here.

lecturing anybody, but for me it was. You know, and that's just the way it was for me. Unfortunate, but it happened. In 2017, he told GQ Magazine of his sobriety that he could not remember a day after leaving college where he wasn't boozing or, quote, had a spliff or something. Could not remember a single day. Where he wasn't altering his state of mind. Yeah. So now he's, what did you say, 62? Can't even believe that. Yeah, 62. You know, is it possible for someone like him without the disease? You know, that's between him and his therapist or him and his, you know, whoever, romantic partner or family or, like, is it possible that you can then go back for him to having a glass of wine with the guy at Esquire who's doing the interview? And then you go about your day and you don't wake up not remembering the night before. Is there not a spectrum? There has to be. I don't think it's a hard line. You've either got it or you don't have it. And I've dealt with a lot of alcoholism in my life. And... I firmly believe that there's a spectrum of sorts to where you can be fully addicted. You can not understand life. Full transparency, I was there. I quit drinking for a year and a half and I didn't understand how to live for that year and a half. I had to recalibrate what it meant to go play pickleball. Yeah. Like the idea of playing pickleball sober to me was weird. And I had to figure out, oh, I can go to concerts and... drink a water. Yeah. I can go hang out with my friends and drink a water. And then, you know, a year and a half of cold turkey, I started having a drink here or there. And you're fine. Well, the urge is still there to go overboard. I just have to recognize if I'm going to dip my toe in the water, I better not step on the diving board. Which is what he just said. He's in that interview. He basically says, I can have one, I can have a couple. I can't have, quote, a lot. Well, I think... And so where is that line, right? Everybody knows where that line is. For yourself. Yes. Yes. But I think anybody would say, I can't have a lot, whether you're, you know, a borderline teetotaler or a full-blown alcoholic. You know, none of us should be drinking a lot. It's not good. Right. You know, the problem becomes those who... either have the disease or are going to get it and those who most likely are not. And, you know, I don't know how I got so fortunate. Certainly some personal responsibility played a role or irresponsibility. But, you know, it is what it is. And I can't let it define me, but I can't let it define me if that makes any sense. Sure. His quote is, I can't have a lot. I have to be professional about it. A professional drinker? No, you have to know where that line is. Yeah. A acknowledge where that line is for you, no matter who you are. It has nothing to do with fact he's famous. Yeah. I just think, you know, it always makes me a little bit nervous. And I'm guilty of this myself when, because I do believe in.

being transparent about it and letting other people know who think that they're all alone and they're suffering in their own silence, that there is, that there are other people out there that are just like them and who suffer from this or deal with this. I don't want to say I suffer for, I definitely have to deal with it. But then when people like a Brad Pitt go out and say, well, you know, now I can have one or two or three, I just need to know where I draw the line. My fear is that that sends the wrong message. Now, you can make the argument. And then the line starts to move, doesn't it? Well, for some people, maybe it does. And then you could make the same argument with me. You know, I was doing great. And then I relapsed. And then I was doing great. And then I relapsed. And, you know, I've been transparent with it in the sense that, you know, all of a sudden I'm not here for 30 days. I wonder if Scott went. Well, he's not on a sabbatical. Well, he is kind of. But I just, you know, the one thing you'll never hear me say on this show is, you know, I can have one or two. And I'll be okay. Because that's a lie. That is, if I have one or two or three, there's going to be 30. And that's just the way I'm built. Brad Pitt's quote was, I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good. Okay. From the text line, did Scott's parents both drink at home in front of Scott and his brother? Rarely. It was extremely rare. that I would see my parents with alcohol. My mom did not drink much. She would drink, but not a lot in front of us growing up that I remember. My dad was a Miller light guy. I just remember Miller. My dad was Coors, the banquet of beers. Go get me a Miller light, Dana. Go get me a Miller light. I think in my entire life, I've never seen my mother drunk. And I think I saw my dad drunk maybe twice. The night of his 40th birthday party. and he had a friend in the Army whose wife had asked him for, had asked his friend for a divorce, and my dad took him out, and they got all sloppy. Phil, on line one. Phil, good afternoon. Hello. Hello, thanks for taking my call. You bet. Of course. As someone in recovery, at least my experience has been. The only person who can decide if someone is an alcoholic is themselves, which is done for many reasons as 12-stepers to quickly find out. What we can do if we choose to is decide if another person is... drinking is affecting us and if we are experiencing along the family disease of alcoholism. And I just want to send for, say, for anybody suffering from the family disease of alcoholism, there is help, and you can find it. And their recovery is possible. All right, man. Hey, do appreciate the call. Thank you for it. 911, 586-7798. If you miss a segment, be sure to check out the Dana Parks podcast.

Read that, don't swim. Stay back at least 10 feet. Avoid dense shoreline vegetation. Tall grass, murky banks. Because they can leap like... Says here, look for alligator warning signs. And they don't mean like... Dead bodies? Things that would warn you of an alligator. They mean literal signs saying alligators present. I am going to offer an unpopular opinion about our next story. Because even Sam in the newsroom went, wait, what? Are there more tips, Sam? Step two, three. No, don't feed the alligator. Okay. Especially your arm. And last but not least, yes. Keep your small dog and child away from any alligators. Good talk. What's our next story, Dana? Oh, Scott. A woman and a friend and her little boy went missing over the weekend after a tubing, river raft tubing excursion, whatever. And all weekend, it did not look like this was going to end well. They found like their car had been, looked like it had been broken into. They didn't know what was going on. The dad is crying. He's like, we don't know if they were kidnapped. Where was this? They have been found. But wait until you hear what happened. Okay. A Michigan mother and son who disappeared while tubing on a river with the mother's cousin were found alive after spending days stranded in the wilderness. Sheriff's deputies are calling this nothing short of a miracle by the way that they were found alive. Okay. Sarah Vita and her nine-year-old son, Kaden. were tubing on the Muskegon River along with her cousin. The trio took off Tuesday from a boat launch and didn't return. On Wednesday, her mom became frantic after finding out her daughter didn't make it to a scheduled surgery. So they don't even realize until the next day these people are missing problem number one. Vita's car was found parked at the boat launch with no one inside and a broken window kicking off a multi-day search involving drones, dogs, and helicopters. Why was a window broken? It turns out they went tubing. on tubes that mom bought, say, at Walmart, that were meant for a swimming pool. Now, Sam, you're going to have to look up this river. Okay. I've never been to Michigan. It is called the Muskegon River. Muskegon, yeah. Okay. Is that in the UP or the LP? I believe that is in the LP. Okay. They were found alive a quarter of a mile into some brush. after officers with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources saw footprints and heard cries for help. Okay? So they went without food three days. I think they were one into day four. Actually, it is amazing. It is a miracle they were located. They were deep into the woods and officers had to use a chainsaw to remove mom from the thick brush. They are exhausted. They are worn out. They had to be carried out of the woods. They were in the wilderness 72 hours.

They are in rough shape, but alive and safe. What's the moral of this story? Maybe don't get your river rafting tubes from Walmart? I said to Sam, I thank God they are alive. Stupid is, a stupid does. Thank God they are alive. I don't go tubing, Scott. There's really not... An amount of money that exists for you to get me to go out and do. It's just not my thing, right? Have you ever been like tubing from the back of a boat? Totally different. On a lake? Like, there are a lot of people that have eyeballs on you. Yeah, right. I, this is so avoidable. It is borderline criminal. No. Uh-oh. What's the charge going to be? Being an idiot. Going down a river with a child. in an inflatable tube that, by the way, then busted, and that's why they end up. They're going tubing, okay? And then this thing you bought it, the dollar tree is not meant for river tubing where there's sticks and rocks and all of those things. Tube ends up going bust. They have one cell phone that is no battery. And then they, my assumption is the crawl out of the river to try to find help. And by that point, they don't know where they are. That child almost died. And where were their cell phones, I'm assuming, back at camp? I don't know. They only brought graphs that were meant to be used in a pool, which then broke and left them stranded. While they did take along one cell phone, it lost battery, leaving them with no way to contact anyone. Dumb, certainly, but not criminal. You can buy kayaks from Walmart. And people float on regular pool floaties on float trips all the time. Yeah, they're called drunk at the Lake of the Ozarks. God. Am I wrong? But am I right? I feel bad. When her mom found her, you know, saw her and there was this, they were reunited. She said, I just gave her a hug and a kiss. And she looked at me and said, hi, I messed up. You would know. We almost died in the woods. Okay. Only half, quarter of a mile, by the way, away from where they were. Yeah. Were they the only human beings in the world that go rafting on this specific river? apparently where the rafts broke and how they exited and went up into the woods, I don't know how they could not find their way back. It was thick brush, but again, they're... What were they doing in the brush? Why not just stay by the water's edge and wait for somebody to come by? That was their biggest mistake, yeah. Was trying to hike out? Yes. If you don't know where you are and you're just hiking into thick and dense woods, you are going to veer left studies show. Does it really? Yes. Everyone veers left. According to a massive study a couple of months ago, every human being on Earth is left to their own devices. Veers left. Will veer left eventually in a complete circle. Mm-hmm. So why even leave the water's edge? Just sit there and wait. There's got to be some other morons coming down. With a cell phone that can help us. And then at that point, you just say, hey, we're stranded. Call for help.

Now if it turned even more tragic and one of the kids got caught under a tree or something, okay, we're looking at criminal charges, right? Everybody's alive, no harm, no foul. They're just dumb. I don't, we can't lock this woman up because she's dumb. I'm not saying you lock her up. I'm just saying, give her a little fine. I just, I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea that somehow she thought, you know, it's $2.99 on sale. this raft looks pretty good. It's sturdy. I don't know. It's dollar general sturdy. I have another dumb question, Sam. When you start at like the trailhead or whatever of the float trip, wherever the river starts or whatever, and then you float all the way down, how do you get back to where you were where you were parked at the... So the way that I do it is I work through an outfitter typically. So they'll either drive me up. Got it. And I'll float down to the outfitter or I'll float down. And the outfitter will be waiting there with a bus to drive you back out. We had a raft from the dollar tree. I don't think there was an outfitter. I think this was just mom, her cousin, and this poor kid thought, let's go have a nice day. When we're up in the UP, though, we'll like drive down to the end of where we want to get out and station a couple of bikes so that we can bike back. There you go. That's pretty smart. You can raft like 13, 14 miles on a very windy river, and then it's only a two or three mile ride back to where you parked. What if you missed the mark on your bikes? Well, you're going to keep on going. Keep on going. Keep on going. Do you keep a whistle, Sam? I hope that you do. I do not know. I mean, we typically, when I go floating, we bring enough gear and enough snacks that if we were to end up in a situation where, you know, we had to camp on the side of the bank for a couple of days. We could get by just on the protein bars and, you know, chopped up veggies that I put in the cooler. But if you're going to go out by yourself and maybe that's where she could get the child neglect charge is that she went out by herself and clearly did not have a very good out plan. You need to have the out plan. You need to know, okay, we're going to float for four to six hours. Right. You know, hey husband or boyfriend. What do we do when we're done? Can you come pick us up at whatever bridge? Okay. Good talk. She's dumb. Jackie the bald eagle has died. I was worried that was going to happen. T. Just texted me following a multi-week battle with anemia. passed away this morning in California at Big Bear Lake. Dana Wright, Sam Steve the 3rd. My name is Scott Parks on KMBZ. Oh, we lost a good one. Ben Jay Jones, former congressman, also known as Cooter. From the Dukes of Hazard has died at his home in Georgia at the age of 84. Jay Jones died after a heart attack. I beg a pardon, I said in Georgia in Virginia, according to his wife, Alma. Quoting here from Alma, I lost the love of my life today. Ben passed from a massive heart attack. He was at home resting in his favorite chair waiting for the Braves to come on.

Ben had the most amazing, rich, full life. He loved and was loved by so many he will be missed. And I love him so much. Tom Wopat from the Dukes of Hazard. Clearly. Says the Dukes of Hazard lost another integral part of their cast today. Ben Jay Jones was a fine friend and a fierce advocate for all the best things that we can offer in the entertainment business. He will be sorely missed. He was a main cast member from the late 1970s until the show's conclusion in 1985, at which point he was elected to the Congress. Listen to this. Mr. is from the New York Times. Mr. Jay Jones overcame two decades of alcoholism, multiple divorces, numerous arrests, and spent time in jail before being cast as Cooter Davenport, the unruly but amiable mechanic on the Dukes of Hazard. In that role, he repaired the show's signature car, the General Lee. He was initially a minor character known as, quote, Crazy Cooter. He was transformed at Mr. Jay Jones' insistence from a one-dimensional southern caricature into a fun-loving but loyal companion who became one of the show's most popular characters. Story here from Channel 9. An act of bravery and compassion is bringing two strangers together in Florida. Listen to this. A young man rescued a woman whose car got stuck on a railroad crossing in Hob Sound, saving her from near disaster. Just a few days ago, Josiah Bauer and Debbie Spolstra did not even know each other, but now they have this special connection. quoting here from Bauer, Josiah Bauer. Friday, I was leaving work and I was heading back home. I was trying to get home for a tire appointment, funny enough, and running late. Train crossing went down. I looked down on my phone and I glimpsed up and I saw the truck, check that the car stuck behind the crossing. So she was stuck. He was right behind her. Have you seen this video? The train is coming. Her car is literally stuck. If you can picture this. under the arm. The arm came down on her car. Okay. And she instead of, I don't know what you do in that situation. First of all, you should not be on the tracks. The lights are going before the arm comes down. She goes on the tracks. Arm comes down. She freezes, Scott. And she admits this. She says I was in a panic. I froze. What I did is I put my car in reverse and apparently the gate got stuck on top of my car on the antenna. So when I tried to reverse, it would not let me reverse. I was kind of frozen. I sat there. I saw the train. Bauer, realizing that she was still in the car, did not hesitate and jumped out of his car to go help. He lifted up the arm, which I wouldn't even know you could do that, but he lifted up the arm, allowing her to then reverse back. Why didn't she drive forward? Sam, the train, as he is lifting that arm and she hits it and the train is there. I mean, it is right there. If she drove forward, she'd be trapped because the arm was down on the other side. Well, why don't we not go over the train tracks when you hear ding, ding, ding. I said to Scott during a break, I go, how does that happen? I don't understand, but I look this up. The lights by law start flashing and have to flash for three to five seconds before the arm comes down. So if she's not paying attention,

And she starts to get up, you know, because there's always a hump. You drive up that hump. They're always a little raised. Starts to get up there. Then sees that the arm is coming down, panics. What is she in a lowrider? I don't. Scott, I don't know how this happens. But he saved her because I think she was so panicked, she just would have sat there. Good on him. Yeah, good for him. A quick break. Dan Sullivan got the news coming your way in two minutes. That guy over there is Sam Stevie III. She is Dana Wright. And my name is Scott Parks here on KMBZ. The news is next. Thanks for listening to the Dana and Parks podcast. You're listening to the Dana and Parks podcast on KMBZ. You got Dan doing the news over there. That guy who answers the phones over there. Dana. Oh, yeah. And hair grease. We are aware and following any updates of an Amber Alert issue just minutes ago out of Independence, Missouri. We have very little detail right now, but what we do have is they are asking you to be on the lookout for a white 2026 Ford Expedition. Again, that is a white Ford Expedition, 2026. Temporary Missouri tag, 008. Let me back that up a little bit. 008 P6QX. No details regarding the child or children involved have been shared. That's all we got. The Lee's Summit Police Department told Channel 5 that the Amber Alert is under their investigation. Now, there are more stories clinking around my brain today about the flock cameras. If the flock cameras work so well, should they not know where this SUV is right now? Can it read a paper temp tag? I don't know. I would think so, yeah. Um, if Lee's Summit or independents have flock cameras, then yes, it should. They're pretty useless in the state of Missouri if they can't read temp tags right now. Right, right? That is accurate. Well, he got away. Why? He had a temp tag. They all have temp tags. Again? Mm. Have you seen the new Bill's Stadium? Well, I know what you can't see, and that would be the field from a whole bunch of those seats. Bill's Mafia won't be doing backflips when they sit down in some of their seats at the brand new and highly expensive High Mark Stadium. After a massive $2.2 billion price tag, $850 million of which was taxpayer money. On the bill's new stadium, fans are giving terrible reviews while season ticket holders entered for the first blue and red practice, which set an attendance record of almost 52,000 people. Fans took to social media to complain about poor sight lines and obstructions littered throughout the stadium. Quoting here from one.

A fan who posted on social media. You have to see the photos to understand how funny this is you as. Whoever designed this new bill stadium wasn't very keen to detail. Imagine paying tens of thousands on PSLs and season tickets and walk into a view like this. How is this blanking possible? wrote another fan. The complaints did not end there. Fans are also frustrated with small video boards on the massive stadium making it difficult to see anything of note. If you are in a middle section of the upper deck, you get to look at a stairwell the entire game. And when you stand up, you can see half the field. The quotes and the memes, you guys, apparently $2.1 billion does not buy you a clear view. There are some that are so funny that we cannot read. on the air. But one guy with the vantage point, you know, he's like seated in the seat looking that way. And you can only see the stairs. You just see stairs. Says, you have got to be blanking kidding me. I don't know anything about building design. I don't. I know generally it's got to be a bowl. It's got to fit like 70,000 people in it. And for those prices, you have to be able to see. Not necessarily right up close, if you're not on the 50 yard line in the front 10 rows, but you have to be able to have a view. Of more than half the field. Yes. Preferably the whole field. I would say really, Scott, that's the one thing as a designer of stadiums that would be a non-negotiable. You have to be able to see. Yeah, these sightlines aren't just obstructed in the far upper nosebleeds. These are sight lines that are obstructed down in the middle. Well, the one that kills me is the one where the staircase, I think Sam may have mentioned that a moment ago, where the staircase is literally... In front of the seats. Correct. Good luck. Good luck seeing the entire game. If you're a Bill's fan on a budget, that's going to be your favorite section. That's the problem. These are not budget seats, Sam. In fact, fans are furious. As I should be. They were told... When they chose their seats or whatever, because you could kind of see in the design, is there a railing there? Like, what's going on? They were told the railings would not obstruct your view before they purchase those seats. What about all the people walking up and down the stairs throughout the game? Well, if they're tall, yes, Sam, those people will definitely obstruct your view. My tall, do you mean at least four foot two? Maybe they shouldn't have spent so much time on their giant broken table in the annex I mean you guys

There are some bad moods on this show today. Between the two of you over there. This all came out when they hosted over the weekend 52,000 fans for the team's, quote, blue and red practice on Saturday. So NFL kicks off what? Is it this week? Well, the preseason stuff. The preseason kicked off last week. Yeah, yeah. So you might be wondering like, why, how do we know this? Well, we know this because 52,000 people bought seats to watch this. practice. Yes, text line, we know. They hired Populus, a Kansas City-based architecture firm. We're aware. Oh, we're aware. Hey, maybe that was their chiefs fans at Populus. It was part of the plan. Yeah. Spider-Man did very well at the box office again this weekend. I made $144 million domestically in its second weekend. Spider-Man Brand New Day has now made $1.7 billion worldwide in two weeks. Yep. Number two was The Odyssey at $31 million and then a bunch of movies I've never heard of except Toy Story 5. We're just still in fifth place. I'm going to wait to stream that one, but I'm very excited to stream it. Ooh, number 10 was Cat Video Fest 20266. Ooh. Made $568,000. That's a meout and the money. Okay. Wow. What did you just say? We heard him. So over the weekend, apparently Taylor was in town. Oh, she was? Mrs. Kelsey with Mr. Kelsey. And they went out to eat at the 1587 Prime. And I told you this, we went two weeks ago, I think, checked it out, absolutely loved it, had a great night. But I will tell you, there's not like some private super secret back room, I don't think, where, like, if you want to go eat there, it's like, it's open air, sort of, right? They have to have their own, like, private room or something. So she and Travis apparently dined over the weekend, and someone tried to sneak a photo. And an original poster said, Travis and Taylor are here. They are out in the open. They do have security. But people are being respectful, right? They're not, they're eating. Let them have a meal. Sure. Let's not be, right? Someone snapped a photo and now the internet is divided. And I don't know why the internet's divided. I think you deserve to be able to have dinner with your husband without people sneaking photos and then posting them online. Am I wrong? No, I would agree with that generally. Like it's sort of the one rule. Like if you see someone famous, they're eating with their family, you don't do that. After, like if they're out walking on the sidewalk, that's different. I feel like the dinner should be, we should be protective of that space. The fan base that has awarded you a lifestyle as a multi-billionaire doesn't deserve the right to take a picture of you in a public place? If you ask. maybe if she gets up to go to the bathroom and then that's weird because you're going to the bathroom. But like I don't think. Yeah, let's follow her into the bathroom. That's like I don't think like this photo is like you can tell someone was trying to sneak it. Taylor. Let's just act like we've been here before people. Can you spare a square, Taylor? No toilet paper over here. And I know she would spare a square. Now what about if they're walking down the sidewalk? Totally different. Why?

Because it just is. What if they're having a romantic walk through a park holding hands, maybe kissy, kissy? I feel like they wouldn't do that, but if they were and you're in a park and they're in the park? They're allowed to go to Loose Park. Of course they are. Great gems of our city. Are her fans the craziest fans on the planet? And I'm asking genuinely because I saw a video over the weekend. of Lionel Messi, the man who can't even play soccer on a field without three security guards ready to pounce on any person who's going to run onto the field. True. Right. Walking out of a dick sporting goods with his two sons and getting into his own escalade to drive home. Not a security guard in sight. A fan pulled up said, oh my God, it's messy. Messy goes, what's up? And then gets in his escalade and drives away. But Taylor needs security. Well, they do need security. They absolutely need security, Sam. Well, that's why that's my question. I don't think they're crazy. I think you just, you know, when you're in an environment that you cannot control, you want, you should be able to go have dinner with your husband. You should be able to have dinner with your wife. I don't disagree. Yeah. But Sam does bring up an interesting point. You're literally dining, you know, I understand that the restaurant is a private establishment, but they're technically sort of out in public. But it's the very people who are wanting to take a photograph of you, and I speak to both of them, that has provided you with this lavish lifestyle that you get to enjoy. Now, granted, did you do the hard work? Did you write the songs? Did you lift the weights? Travis Kelsey? Yes. And so, you know, are you successful because of a lot of things that you've done? Yes. But you're not successful if people don't come to your concerts or go to your football games or buy your jerseys or buy your merch. And can they not just? No. Because if you do one, there's 30 more people behind, you know, saying, okay, now I want one. I just don't think. You can't win for losing, right? Well, probably not. Have you ever taken a picture of a celebrity and they didn't know it? Um, I did. I think it's more fun to take photos of people who look like celebrities, but it's not them. I do that quite a bit on vacation. Like I took a picture several years ago when we were at one of those gala's downtown. Travis Kelsey was about 30 feet behind me. Yeah. With his back turned... You know, he was facing in another direction. And I just, I had, I believe I had you take the photograph and I said my picture with Travis Kelsey. And the joke obviously being, here he is 30 feet away. I've never met the man in my life. But Dana took a picture of me and Travis Kelsey in the same frame, not anywhere near each other. Totally different edigella like that. All right. 913-586-7798-98-78 here on Dana and Parks. Update on the Amber Alert in Jackson County, Missouri. Sam, go ahead. The child and the vehicle have been found. Oh, good. Yeah. Safely, I'm sure. Yes. Okay, good. So the Amber Alert is now over. That is correct. Okay.

ABC News. At a Massachusetts lab, pebble-sized pellets are transformed into forks and films that won't leave persistent microplastics in the environment. These are bioplastic pellets. CJ biomaterials ferment sugar to make plant-based polymers that microbes will consume. Did you understand a single word you just read? No, but I like the headline. Plastic forks shed harmful microplastics. Now there's an alternative. Okay. The alternative is a different kind of plastic? Well, but it's plant-based, so is it not then biodegradable? I guess that's fair, yeah, but if you're still superheating it to create, I don't know. Just use metal forks, people, or eat with your hands. Bingo. It's go primal. And I still, you know, we've said this on this program for years. Go into a grocery store. Or a convenience store. Oh, just try. And try to not buy something in plastic. It's impossible. It is absolutely impossible. I'd like to look back at the year that this really... Tipped. Where was the tipping point? It was the 1950s. Hmm. The tapper where ladies have the freshest ideas for locking in freshness. No, it's later in that. Really, the plastics explosion. Because the whole bill of goods that we were sold in America was that it's so much better than glass. Plastics, plastics. Don't you remember the entire... Maybe you were in Germany. They had a whole ad campaign about how great plastics were for all of us. Plastic made its debut in 1950. Well, yeah, debut, but when did it become it was... in everything, on everything, sold in everything. I don't think that was until probably the 70s, I want to say. Mainstream is the term you're looking for, and plastics became mainstream in the 1950s. Really? Pepperware and housewares were launched in 1948. They were going door to door by 1950. By the mid to late 50s, they were said to be in almost every household in America. Wow. Between 1950 and 2017, 9.2 billion metric tons of plastic were made. So what's the alternative? I think that ship has sailed. If we get rid of plastics, what do we put stuff in? Styrofoam? It's even worse. Glass. Yeah, we use exclusively glass Tupperware in my house. Good. Good for you. Because you just reuse, reuse. Has the plastic lid, but as long as the food's not sitting on the plastic, you're not getting that microplastic transfer. Okay. So my sandwich that I brought from home is in a glass Tupperware. Yep.

Good for you. You're doing it right. Okay. What about sandwich bags, Sam? Well, see, I bring my lunch every day at one, two, three, four, five, six, seven plastic bags in my lunch. But are sandwich bags better than... Anything that you consume that touches plastic gets microplastic transfer. The warmer it is, the more the transfer. Yeah, you're never supposed to heat anything in that. So, tea, and I just noticed this in the cupboard the other day, has found biodegradable bags. Oh. For like chips. Okay. Or, you know, carrots, celery, whatever. The problem is they're basically little paper bags, okay? But you can't seal them yet. What do you mean? There's no sealant at the top. So how do you just hope? You just... You place it gently into your lunchbox. Very gently. Oh, I've used bags like that before. By the way, bioplastics do still shed microplastics. The only way to get away from microplastics is get away from plastic. Okay. And then go to what? Paper? Yeah. And so now we're cutting down trees. Use metal utensils. Use glass. Use glass cutting boards or metal cutting boards. Now people say they were all mad that they're going to stop giving away plastic utensils in, what was that New Jersey that banned them? Like some whole state banned plastic stuff. Like you have to ask for it and there's a cost associated with it. I'm all for that. We need to reduce. And to reduce, you've got to stop handing that stuff out. Well, but it's just like anywhere that there is a fast food or fast casual dining restaurant, they're going to have all that stuff on the side. And you can grab as many straws as you want, all made out of plastic. As many napkins as you want, Chipotle, all made out of dead trees. Okay. We used a lot of hemp before the plastic craze. Go back to hemp. What would you like to guess why they switched over to plastic and away from hemp? Would it be lobbying? One is petroleum based. The other grows out of the ground. All right. That's not a conspiracy. No, it's not. No, that's a fact. It is not a conspiracy. By the way, the former president is not doing well. This is not politics, but just an update. Hunter Biden says that former president Joe Biden is living in pain. as he battles cancer, but that hasn't stopped him from, quote, doing his thing. Quoting here from Hunter Biden in an interview with the BBC, the cancer is spread. It's metastasized into his bones. And further, it's very painful and it's very debilitating in many respects. But he's still out there. He's still doing his thing. Joe Biden's office announcing in May of 2025 that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The diagnosis came after a small nodule was found in the former president's prostate after a routine physical exam. I didn't know this. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States. Okay. Now that surprises me because I've always been told prostate cancer and this is I have, you know, my father.

is a survivor of prostate cancer and my uncle, his brother. And his brother decided not to treat it because his physician said, you will be long dead before it kills you. It's so slow growing. You will die of other things. And it was my understanding most men do. If you're diagnosed, you know, In your 50s or 60s. Well, I think his brother was in his mid-70s when he was diagnosed. They said it's up to you, but statistically you are likely to die of something else. It's the number one killer of men? No, it's the number one cancer. Cancer, okay. I think he said killer. Pardon me. Second leading cancer killer in men. According to ABC News, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States, according to the NIH. Does it often go undetected because the symptoms that would show up in everyday life without getting too detailed are embarrassing to discuss in a way? No. I had mine checked not too long ago. Yeah. It's not cancerous, but enlarged. Okay. And were the symptoms something that you would have wanted to talk about with other people? I've talked about it with you in the men's restroom. Okay. And it was embarrassing. All right. I don't think so. None of us are getting any younger. We talk about all that stuff. At least talk to your doctor about it. My God. I didn't talk to you about it other than to let you know that I had an enlarged prostate. But Sam and I have had. And I believe my reply to you was everyone your age has that, right? Yeah. Not that you shouldn't ask a doctor about it. Not that you shouldn't get it checked out. But. It's not like you said to me, did I tell you the day? I grew a third nipple. And I'd be like, oh my gosh, no way. And I have an enlarged prostate. Yeah, when you said that, I was like, okay, well, like you're 55, yeah. Thanks for the concern. I'm not saying I'm not concerned. Just saying, I think it's common. You're dying anyway. Who cares? 913. Something else will get you first. 5867798. 5867798 here on Dana and Parks.

Story here from the New York Post and investigation is underway into what killed a 22-year-old man who died on a flight from Dallas to Los Angeles. The L.A. County Medical Examiner's Office identifying the man as Rain Walmsie. He was on board Southwest Airlines Flight 958 on Friday. According to the medical examiner's office, the case remains open. Still not sure what took his life. He's only 22 years old. The flight was traveling from Dallas to L.A. when Walmsie suffered a medical emergency and stopped responding. Let me ask you, what would you do if you're on a cross-country flight and the person sitting next to you dies? In this case, 22 years old, you have got to take that plane to the nearest airport. And it's, when it's a young person, you cannot even. Emergency responders were waiting for the aircraft when it landed at LAX. It would be heartbroken. Absolutely heartbroken. Paramedics were unable to revive Walmsie and firefighters pronounced him dead on the scene. Did you hear some other plane passengers had to restrain a lunatic who threatened the crew and started shouting that he felt like opening the emergency exit? 36 years old. He was on a Botic air flight from Malaysia to India a couple days ago when he, quote, went berserk. Is it berserk or berserk? I believe it's berserk. Then why is it spelled berserk? Why is February spelled February, but people say February. They were at... 30,000 feet. When he allegedly tried to open the commercial jets emergency exit door mid-flight, cracking the window and, quote, causing significant damage to the exit window panel, later telling police, quote, he just felt like doing so. What's his name? There's video. I need to send him the care package from Jerk Air. Yes. Absolutely. He was 36 years old, Jamshir Athalikani. Okay, I'll figure out how to spell that, and I'll send his VIP package invite. He was in seat number 12A and, quote, without provocation, tried to open the emergency exit and destroy the exit window panel. He threatened the co-passengers and the crew who tried to stop him. I don't think mental health or drug or alcohol issues are playing a role in this story. Later, he was overpowered by the co-passengers and the crew. I'm always fascinated by how ready, willing, and able. Other passengers are when you know what hits the fan with some cuckoo to just jump right on in and stop them. Well, what's the alternative? Right. They take the plane down with you want it anyway. Passengers and crew managed to subdue the agitated man and restrain him with duct tape. Zip ties. Close. He's been arrested. Clearly.

Story here from the Wall Street Journal. Follow me on this one. And by the way, when I say sheriff's deputy in the first three words of the story, it's in air quotes. Got it. Okay. The sheriff's deputy chatted breezily over the phone about his three young daughters as Kimberly Fudge drove through gritty streets and lush Florida byways on a grim errand, gathering thousands of dollars in bail to avoid arrest for missing jury duty. When Fudge, who's only 38, a manager in the finance department of a government contractor, reached the drop-off point, she laughed. It was a convenience store with abandoned gas pumps and a cryptocurrency machine inside. Uh-huh. She was told by the sheriff's deputy to scan a QR code and feed the machine $4,000 in cash. Good God. She walked back to her car. and began to voice doubts that had been building. Are you sure this is where I'm supposed to post the bail? The officer's friendly demeanor then vanished. His voice rose. He reminded her that he was tracking her location and that deputies were two blocks away ready to bring her in. Oh, yeah, we're going to bring you in. She went back inside and made the deposit. No! Listen to the voice in the back of your head. Like, didn't I hear on the news that sheriffs would never ever ask you to go to a kiosk and put money in? Oh, you guys. It was the first of many that day, a team of at least five scammers playing different roles with perfect Florida accents. One's a judge. One's a cop. Oh, sure. Would keep her on the phone for nearly 10 hours that day. And talk her into paying $25,000. Says Fudge, they had me scared. Oh, sweetheart. They knew my social security number. They knew how much I had in my bank account. They had every single thing about me. Which the sheriff's department would not have. Americans are now awash in scams. Phony UPS tax, AI-generated voices of loved ones in trouble, spoofed emails, tricking city governments. People reported losing $3.5 billion last year to imposter scams. That's triple the level from 2020. The only way we are going to... We're not going to stop it, but... try to minimize the damage is talk about stories like this all the time so that you then go home and say to your mom, hey, I just want to remind you, listen to Dana Park's day of the day. And if anyone ever calls you and they're yelling and you've got to take a bunch of cash and plug it into a machine in a convenience store, which should be illegal to even have. Why are we still allowing cryptocurrency machines inconvenient stores? Because they're legal. Because 10% of the time they're used for perfectly legitimate reasons. I think that's high. And if you took that access for the scam away, they would find another way. We're making it too easy for them to wipe out our retirees accounts. I think the really important question is, how do we implement or re-implement, I guess, logic back into the minds of Americans?

If the sheriff's department was demanding this money because you didn't show up for jury duty, wouldn't the deputies coming to arrest you be great stewardesses of that money to return it back to the sheriff's department? Yeah, it wouldn't involve a cryptocurrency machine in a convenience store. Let them come and get me. I got the cash here. I'll give it to them. We'll be good. And once I've inserted $4,000 of my hard-earned money into this machine. Four more people call me that day and I'm on the phone with them for a total of 10 hours. For a jury summons, I never got. They don't have crime to be fighting? No, they're too busy catching people who skip out on jury duty. Also, they were down the street ready to arrest you and they haven't shown up for 10 hours. What are they crawling? I'm telling you, they are good and they prey on people's anxieties. She was 38. This is not some 85-year-old grandma who is, you know, well, it's on the internet. It must be real. This is a 38-year-old woman, a professional, who apparently had $25,000 just laying around that she could insert into ATM machines. Check that, cryptocurrency machines. If they want cryptocurrency, it's a scam. Then how do we get people to understand that? How many times have we talked about this story on this very show? Countless. Countless. There was one, the one that was like, damn, they are up in their game, where they asked a woman locally to drive to the sheriff's department. Was it Clay County? Oh, that's right. They asked her to drive the sheriff's department and someone will come out to get the money. That, okay, that is so next level that you think, all right, I'm driving to the sheriff's department. It's got to be legit. And then some guy comes out in plain clothes. He's a detective. He's a detective. Here, give me your money. And the only reason she kept her money that day was a real sheriff's deputy came out and she said, hey, I don't know if I'm in the right place. I've got this money I'm supposed to give to this. deputy for a fine that they said, and then the sheriff's deputy said, ma'am, that is a scam. Yep. You are being scammed. Yep. She got her first call, by the way, Ms. Fudge at 1043 in the morning. It was on a Tuesday last month. The call was from an unknown number. She was at her office. She had just gotten a refurbished Samsung in the mail and was still setting it up when it rang. She assumed it might be a contact the phone, didn't recognize yet, so she picked it up. Caller was from a neighboring county. Why are you serving jury duty on a county that's not your own? Right. You're not even, I'm sorry, you registered a vote in that county? That would be illegal. I'm going to go ahead and repeat myself. How do we re-implement logic into the minds of Americans? I don't know. We are taught to respect authority. It's part of the problem. And, you know, it's good to respect authority, I suppose. When you're growing up, be nice to your teachers, be nice to your elders. We are taught our entire lives you respect authority. So when you think someone, it's why if a police officer says, starts asking you very pointed questions after you've been pulled over, even if you know your rights in your mind.

Nine times out of ten, you answer the question because we've been taught to respect authority. And there's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, until they're telling you to shove your life savings into a machine in a grocery store. But those are scammers, not the authorities. They're just scammers pretending. But your mind thinks, I have a police officer telling me to do this, I'm going to do it. And you use the word logic, Sam. I think the word probably that would be better is skepticism. Yeah. How do we make it so that when somebody calls me and they claim that they're from the sheriff's department, I'm not skeptical and think, well, I never got a jury summons. Why would I have to pay a fine? And if they really are down the street, have them come over and I'll give them the money and not put it in the ATM. Yeah, I think that would be the logic part. The fact that that didn't click for her, I'm concerned about the whole rest of the process. On the phone that day for 10 hours, ended up coughing up $25,000. She will never get back. Ever. My guess is at the age of 38, that was a huge chunk of her savings. I bet it was. I bet it was. Huge chunk. She said they knew not only her Social Security number. But how much money she had in her account? It's all for sale, Scott. And they figured out a way to get into her computer or her phone. It breaks my heart. 913-586-77-98. 911-3-5-86-77-98 here on Dana and Parks. Let's go to Candy in Gardner. Candy, good afternoon. Hello. Hi. I just wanted to tell you guys about another scan that is going on that is really evil. So I lost my cat a while back. My cat Dexter was missing. And I had posted him all over different websites. And, I mean, I was devastated. I'm walking the streets every night for hours looking for him. Well, on about day five, I get this call from this vet, supposedly, telling me that asked me if I knew, and it was some lady's name. And I said no. It said that that lady had brought him in, that he had been hit by a car, that he was in no risk of being euthanized or put to sleep, but that he did have a broken femur. And I was so scared about getting my hopes up and it not being him that I asked them to send me a picture. I'm like, you're sure it's him. And he said, I'll get a picture of them. I'll call you back in a few minutes. And he called me back, and he sent me a picture of my cat, Dexter, laying on the surgery table in surgery. ended up getting suspicious after a while, and I did a reverse image search of that picture and found the exact same image. A lady had made a TikTok video about people trying to scam her, and it was the exact same picture, except obviously it wasn't Dexter on the surgery table. It was her cat. And I just think that is a horrible thing for somebody to do. They're praying on people that are desperate and grieving and, you know.

Candy, it was just horrible. I'm telling you, I'm so proud of you for reverse image searching that. Nine times out of ten people aren't going to do that. Or no, how? She stopped her own scam. Let's go to Barb in Odessa. Barb. Hello. Hi, how are you guys? We're doing well. Thank you for asking. I'm doing good too. My shingles are gone. Anyway, I had a story that this had been, oh, several years ago, but a woman called me from Jeff City and said my grandson was in jail, and I had to postpone of $1,000. And, of course, I did panic at first because I know that wasn't true. So I put her on hold, and I called my daughter, and she said, no, he's in bad sleep. So when I hung up, I took the number off. I called Jeff City, and I reported it. And they told me they have had over 400 calls from this situation. And I feel sorry for people who's dumb enough. I'm sorry, I don't mean that way. But, you know, when you're 38 years old and you send $25,000, you've got to stop and think a little bit. Well, probably true, Barb, yes. Yeah, I know. But she's scared. I mean, but here's the thing that it just blows my mind. And Sam, you mentioned logic in the last segment. In what world do you skip out on jury duty, which she never did, by the way? Right. Never even got a summons because she wasn't needed for jury duty. And the fine is $25,000. There are some scams that seem. More believable than others. The one Barb's talking about if you think it's your grandson and they go, Mom, Grandma, and then you reply with the name. Scott? Yes, I've been kidnapped. Help me. Or I'm in jail. Help me. Those are the ones where you can start. Okay, now you're panic. They're saying send this money right now. Call my mom at 6.05 tonight. Diana in Overland Park. Hello, Diana. You get the last word. Okay, great. Well, I just wanted to say that I'm very proud of my 88-year-old mother, who even had a stroke in December, she was back at home and on her desktop computer when she had a scam like yours, Scott, with all the bells, whistles, and noises, and telling her not to turn off the computer and to call a number. Well, she turned off the computer because she'd heard me talk about those stories. And when she turned it back on, everything was fine. She didn't lose my inheritance. Nope. Good. Good for you. Good for her. So keep telling those stories. Okay. We'll do. Hey, appreciate it. Speaking of inheritance, we have a story in the stack that a growing number of folks are demanding it now. From mom and dad. You're still alive. I want my inheritance now. No, that's not up to you. It's my money. I want it now. Mm-hmm. Also, one of the world's largest data centers companies is looking at DeSoto. Good luck.

Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. Good times, good times. What's worse? The data center or the flock camera? Oh, data center by far. Okay. I think the flock camera, it's a problem. Being tracked everywhere you go, no water. Which one do you want? You pick. I'd rather be tracked everywhere I go. Also coming up on the program, two police officers said, you've got to be kidding me after a traffic stop. Out. You're really trying this one, aren't you? It was a bad day. Get out. Dan Weinbaum has the news coming your way in two minutes. Thanks for listening to the Dana and Parks podcast. Remember, you can catch us online anytime at KMBZ.com. You're listening to the Dana and Parks podcast on KMBZ. All right. All kidding aside, what do you have, Sam? Really? Kidding? Oh, I'm not kidding. This story might be the greatest of all time. Okay, I'm done now. We have a traffic stop right here in these Kansas City, Missouri's, where officers walked up to the vehicle, as one would do during a traffic stop. And they were already suspicious because they did spot the man driving a stolen vehicle. And as they walked up, they couldn't help it notice what they thought was... A weird goat-sounding ringtone. But even more confusing is that it sounded like it was coming from the trunk. And sure enough, they pop open the trunk and two goats pop out. Indeed, there were two goats in the trunk of the stolen car. Officers worked with Casey Pat Project to take them. Enough. Oh, sorry.

is what they sounded like when they found the goats. They pulled the guy over, Scott, and they arrest him because this is a stolen car. And, you know, anything that can hurt us, no, okay, we need to put your hands behind your back, great. And they keep hearing this. And one of the officers says, where is that cell phone coming from? Where is the ringtone? And the dude just looks at the officers and goes, that ain't no cell phone. Those are my goats. They're in the trunk. I swear to God. I have cell phoneers are my goats and they are in the trunk. Now, all kidding aside, kidding, kidding, yes. It's too hot to have goats in the trunk. So officers rescue the goats. They end up at KC. Pet Project. Then the foster family that fostered the goats has now adopted the two babies. They're named Denver and Aspen. Okay. Somebody has a bizarre fascination with Colorado. Do you steal the car first and then put your goats in the trunk or did the goats? I'm so confused. I think the baby goats were also stolen? I don't know. Were they being held hostage? That's confusing. Throw them in the trunk. All I know is it was a bad day for that driver. Okay. I was waiting. It's been a while since we've had goats in the studio. And it's going to be a while until we ever do again. We should have them on the show. We should absolutely have them back in the show. Dana, no. The goat peed for nothing short of seven minutes. And now let's go to the goats for comment. I know. Stand by. How did you feel? It's so good. Ah, thank you, Mr. Goat. Appreciate it. We allow. from time to time for you to bring in your fun little animals. The entire point was to see if the goat could faint. Do you remember that? His name was David. I wanted to see if he could faint. I almost did when he kept peeing minute after minute after minute. You just go, how much does he have in there? And you said, it's no big deal. He's got pants on and a diaper. It made no difference. And then you dang near killed Toby Tobin with all the ammonia smell that was in there. You told me to clean it up or I'd get in trouble. I didn't want to get in trouble. It was on a Friday afternoon, if I remember correctly, because Toby was coming in the next morning and Sam and I were like, this one's on you. Not cleaning it up. I am not cleaning up goat urine. On a Friday night. Didn't it leak? Oh, all the way down into the boss's office. I mean all the way down. The best part was is I got in that following morning to read the news for the Toby Tobin show and he came out to the newsroom and looked at me and goes, what happened in there? Did he really? It smells like a botched crime scene cleanup. And that was the day that the door was propped open for the rest of eternity. Is that right? I'll tell you this. There's a reason I'm bringing this up. Last week or maybe two weeks ago, there was a story in the stack. I'm not going to say what. And it piqued my interest. And so I reached out to the person that was the subject of the story and said, would there be any way you could stop by this week to share your story on the Day in Parks program and had wanted to have them on Friday? And that did not work out for them. And so they will be here this Friday.

for a story that I think you are really going to enjoy. And the, no, stop. The only thing I'm going to tell you is it is not a goat. Is it going to make me cry? No, I think you'll giggle. I think you'll just be, and it's not going to scare you. It's not a monkey. I know you got a weird thing with monkeys. He's got a monkey phobia. I don't even know what the word is for that. It's not a phobia. Monkeys are fine. In the wild, in a cage, I don't want one near me. I just, they're very climbing. This is. This is nothing that can hurt you. It will not hurt anything in here. So it's an animal. We have guests coming on Friday, but I'm not going to tell you what it is. And it's a great story. Does it sing? No. Do anything remotely entertaining? No. Well, the interview will be entertaining. Okay. Is this a common household pet? For some, it can be, yes. Is it a tarantula? No, God. Do you know me? No. I'm not bringing in spiders or snakes or anything gross like that. Can I make a request? It will be lovely. You can. As the producer of this program. I'd just like to be informed. I know, but I find it better with these stories, Sam, if you're not. Because I'm going to say no. No, you're going to be like, well, I feel like we should run this by the boss. And we don't need to. I'm not doing anything that's going to get anybody in trouble. No one is going to be urinating. It's a good local story about a group doing really good work. And now let's go to the singing parrot. That one time it did not work out very well. And now for the chorus, Mr. Parrott. True talent. I'll tell you this, eight out of ten times when animals have come in. It's a failed. No, it has been great. There's two times it didn't work. And the peeing goat actually worked except for the urine. Everything else about it was fine. How was the play? I was the play, Mrs. Lincoln. The rest of the play was great. It was a disaster. The goat was a disaster. Well... Urine was falling into our boss's office. How come Jamie gets to have dogs in, and then I try to do one thing, and everyone's like, well, I don't know if we can do that. She has dogs in every week. Do they wear pamphers? They don't need to. Well... Just trust me. Oh, God. It's going to be great. The track record is not built on how many go well. Pardon me. Yeah, actually, no, that's what I'm trying to say. How many go well? It's how many go bad. Yeah. Bad? Mm-hmm. Both out. So does this one fly? No. This one walks. This one does not fly. And that's the last hint I'm giving you. Four legs? Nope, not going to give you that hint. Eight? Because what if it's a kangaroo that could be two or four? Does it slither? No, no, Dan, I don't like snakes. Does it have legs? I'm not going to tell you, because then you're just going to guess and no, I just enjoy the ride. How could a kangaroo be two or four? What happened to the kangaroo? Well, it's got the two at the bottom and then the two at the top.

Those are hands. So wait, you're bringing in a kangaroo? I'm not. But don't think I haven't tried. That was an adorable one. That little baby. Oh my God, Sam. You loved that thing. Still trying to figure out the tortoise. It was on the lamb. It was on the run for 48 hours or a week or something. Then they found it. What else have we had in here? The monkey. We did have the monkey. That weirded me out. There was something that was sat on the top of your head. A chicken. We had blueie the chicken. Bluey the chicken, that's right. There was an owl. Oh, I forgot about the baby owl. That was cool. Who remembers that one? Out. Okay, the puns have gotten really, really bad. I mean, after the owl, I knew that I had to keep my head on a swivel whenever you wanted to bring animals in. Okay. I quit. Okay. Don't quit before Friday because I think you're going to enjoy it. Did I tell you guys, scientists recently combined, this is getting crazy. Is this a joke? No, no, no, no, no. They have figured out a way to cross a cheetah.

with the DNA of a crab. Mm-hmm. Things went sideways real fast. All right. All right. Story here from the post. Jason is not asking his father for an allowance, a luxury car, even help with rent. The 38-year-old New York City-based comedian has spent years making what he considers reasonable requests. We'll circle back to that. With a clear plan and proposal. He wants a shot at the big time, a $600 improv class, a plane ticket to Los Angeles for a gig that will bring him exposure and connections. The occasional investment in a career that he's been building. While juggling two jobs. Keep in mind he's 38. Despite his father recently inheriting millions, the answer is almost always no. But Jason sees things differently. I can't believe he agreed to be interviewed for this article. Jason tells the New York Post regarding his father's reasoning, when I die. You'll never have to work again. He kind of pokes fun that I'm not more financially stable. When I was your age, I had a boat, an apartment on Park Avenue. I owned a business. His success was handed to him. Oh, son. Wow. You're going to wish you hadn't said that. Wow. A warm gift is better than a cold gift, he said. Help me while it can actually change my life. Why wait until I'm 60? This increasingly common disagreement is playing out just as America enters the largest transfer of wealth in history. An estimated $124 trillion is expected to change hands over the next 20 years. But it begs this question, what do adult parents owe their children? Nothing. And do children deserve to benefit from parents' blood, sweat, and tears? That is up to every single person listening. There's no one blanket answer for that. There are some people who believe passionately that your wealth is your own, and you should pass it along to charity in death to make the world a better place. There are other people that have worked and scrolled away, and if there's anything left, the kids can have it. But I've also met other people who will say, I worked hard. I'm not going to hand them anything. If they know they're going to be handed something, they're not going to go out and get, and this is what his dad is going to say, and I have friends who are comedians. The dad is going to say, you're not going to go out and, quote, get a real job if I hand you a couple of million to see if you can make your passion go. Are you saying being a comedian is not a real job? I'm not. I'm saying statistically, do you know how hard it is to make a living as a comedian. He says in this article, he has two jobs, plus he's a comedian at night. You know why? They give you like a beer tab in 50 bucks. There's no money in that until you hit like Bridget Everett and you get an HBO deal or not even Jerry Seinfeld. They just...

making a living as a comedian and how few people are able to do it. There's another person featured in this story. Her name is Ashley. She's 43. Her parents' decision not to buy her a condo despite being aware of the tax benefits. She's selling him on the tax benefit. As something that she still stews over, the New York native telling the post that her parents sold their apartment in the city and then decided to rent. Quoting here from Emily, or Ashley, beg your pardon, they could have funneled it into a condo for me and made my life easier. Am I entitled? Yes. Honest, also yes. Oh. Oh. This is a one way, to me, this is a one way conversation flowing from the people with the wealth, if they choose to have it, to the people that are inheriting the wealth. Whenever, on your timeline, whenever you want, you don't as the inheritance hopeful, get to lead the conversation and say, hey, about all that money you have. I mean, could we not just help me out while I'm here? That is a conversation for the elder to have, not for the child to have. From the text line. Maybe that guy should write better jokes. Well, maybe. I wish it were that simple. 913-586-7798. Let's go to Matt in North Kansas City. Matt, good afternoon. Hello. Hey, guys. Interesting conversation. I don't agree with the kid by any means. I mean, he's acting for something for nothing kind of thing. But it brings up a larger conversation that's been going on these days about the boomer generation really hoarding wealth and not, not assisting, you know, not doing just basic things for either family or others kind of a thing. You know, I'm Gen X. I'm your oldest generation. And, you know, we're working on a plan where, you know, the wealth that we potentially have, you know, we're wanting to, how do we help to struggle going away? Say like, you know, like my son, okay, maybe he needs a down payment for a house. Okay, well, that's fine. We'll help you there. Now, you've got to pay it back. There's going to be a thing, but there's a, but there's a, but the boomers, I'm kind of a critical of the boomers, quite frankly. They afforded a lot of wealth. And they don't do much with it other than the spend it themselves kind of a thing. And so there's a larger principle here, even though I totally disagree with this kid. Well, hang on though, Matt. You just said they don't do anything with their money, they being the boomers, except spend it on themselves. But doesn't that fuel the economy? He does. And everybody has the right to do what they want to do. I'm not saying they don't have a right to do that. Everybody can do what they want. Exactly. But I think there's a little different attitude with the younger, I mean, the ex-generation and maybe younger of like, okay, maybe I have this wealth. But what can I do more with it with my own family and with the community and things like that? And not just, well, the heck no, you ain't getting my money now, blah, blah, blah. I mean, it's a.

You know, there's a fine line there. It's a conversation. Like, help me now when I need it. I've heard people say that. Help me now when I need it in my 30s and 40s. I'm starting out. I need a house. Like, I would like to have a house and housing costs. We all know this are almost unattainable, right? So why not help me now when I need it versus later? But also, there's no, just because your parents did well does not mean you are entitled. to all of the fruits of their labor. To your point, the conversation needs to be started by the parent. Yes. I know of situations where, you know, they needed the child, needed an extra 5, 10 grand for something, whatever it was. And the parent was like, hey, I'd like to help you out. You're going to get this 5 to 10 grand in 20 years. I'm just going to give it to you now. That's great. You can have that conversation all you want to. I think what Matt was trying to get at in terms of boomers hoarding wealth is that there are numbers that show that part of the reason we're having the housing crisis that we are is because it's those boomers, those Gen Xers that had the extra wealth laying around that bought up all the homes and made them rental properties. I understand that side of the argument. That doesn't mean that you then get to go and look at your parent and say, well, you were successful, so that means I don't have to do squat. The other thing I look at for our generation, Scott, because housing costs have gotten so high and also college costs have gotten so high, right? Yep. And so if you were able to just barely squirrel away enough to get by to help get the kids through college, is that not enough? And there's an argument to be made that like... It's so expensive to do that that is the gift that we gave you. That, you know, maybe you don't have debt coming out of that so that you can start out, find a career that you're passionate about, start out with a clean slate is one of the greatest gifts, the most expensive gifts a parent can give a child. Which often occurs if you follow the biological timeline here. as the parents are getting closer and closer to retiring themselves, right? And then all of a sudden, they're forking out tens of thousands, if not more, in college tuition. People will say, well, why do you have all this money saved? Why don't you have, like, millions of dollars in the bank? Kids are expensive. My goodness, you know, we all did really, like, I think we did really well in life. Like, we did, we all did good. But, you know, those. tuition bills and housing and all that like now that the two of the four of them are in grad school that is completely on them so there is not another dime for any like we gave you the perfectly amazing four year education for your state education barely can afford, barely could afford to do that. Yeah. And so once that's done, that is your start in life. You are already way ahead of the start line. Well, and my brother and I, my parents put us both through school. And, you know, my grandfather, my dad's dad, was the first member of our family to ever go to school. To college. And I think he paid for my dad and his sister. And then my parents paid for me and my brother.

With the assumption, I don't know that they ever said it to me, but the assumption that I would do it for my kids to. That because I got my education paid for by my parents. You pay that for it. I would pass it down. Yes. But that doesn't mean you pass on a Lamborghini and a beach house and whatever, right? Absolutely not. Lane in DeSoto. Lane, hello. Hey, guys, happy Monday for what a Monday's work, at least. Yep. Here's my thinking. Both my parents are retired. I'm getting ready to retire. If my parents leave me nothing, that's 100% legit. The only thing I ask is that they've planned ahead for their demise and whatever's going to happen. And if that hearse comes screaming into the cemetery... Skid sideways, the back door shoots open and the casket rockets over into the hole guys. As long as they got that covered for pay, I am perfectly fine with having zero in the bank with at that point. Lane, I have a friend who read a book about that, and she was telling me about it the other day, and the synopsis of this... book is how to spend every time you have slide into home plate at the 11th hour as you are dying with nothing left like spend it right you can't take it with you and they've adopted that strategy she said we're spending it all of it on us it's their money and i'm like yes you know if if my mom i'm with you lane if my mom uh doesn't pass anything down to my brother and me that's fine i literally saved expecting nothing. Do you think those conversations should be had, though? Like, like... We've had it. Someday, you know, this is where the key is to the lockbox, you know? My brother and I know where the paperwork is. Yeah, yeah. Yes. I would rather not be completely in the dark on that stuff because I've watched friends go through it. And I'm not. But I'm just saying I've watched enough friends go through it where one of them is a very good friend of ours, where... Like all of the eyes were dotted and all of the T's are crossed. And it still took a year to settle that estate. It is a nightmare if you don't do it correctly. Well, that was an awkward conversation to have with my mom. Where's all the paperwork for the day that you're not here? Well. But you have to have that. And I started financial planning about a year ago, and I have told both of my girls where the paperwork is and so that they can find it. I've just told all my kids calls God. I don't know.

So it's a fascinating story in the New York Post about, I don't want to use the word kids, but young adults saying, hey, mom and dad, you know, you're still alive, still kicking. Why aren't you kicking some of that money down here? You could have really helped me buy that condo. I need the help now, not later in life. In our family, we've done the thing where, like, my grandparents loaned my parents the money for their house on the hill. And there was a note, like an actual, you know, my grandpa would draw up a note, a bank note. And this is what you're going to pay back. This is when it will be paid off. This is the interest accrued. And my dad did the same thing for me once 20 years ago, I want to say. when I left the IRS with, you know, remember that? Oh, I remember. Yeah. I remember. What? Oh, my gosh, Sam. It was the one of the most devastating days of my life. I, you know. It's about the same time that a Diet Coke got pulled back in a window from Wendy's. You had a lot going on in my life and then got socked with a, it was many, many, many, many, many, many thousands of dollars tax bill. I remember. Oh, tax fraud data over here. All right. Wow. No, it was just like at the end of the year when I went to file, they were like, okay, and now we're going to do this. Okay, you owe, I think it was $28,000, if I recall. It was somewhere in that neighborhood. I mean, just a mind-blowing, shocking amount of money. You made one really bad financial move that I will not share. Nope. But it was. It was against... Never making that move again. It was against present advice. I will tell you this. I paid that off. Yep. In whatever term we ended up settling on, I don't remember what the interest was. He charged me like three or four percent, I think. Paid it off. Paid him several hundred a month until it was paid off and I got it done. Is this story not a commentary, though, on the entitlement epidemic that we have going on in this country? The way it's being presented, yeah. They come across as incredibly entitled. And even Ashley admits in the story, am I entitled? Yes. Am I also honest? Yes. What are you entitled to, Ashley? Your parents' money? Right. That is just crazy. They gave you life. I assume put her through school. I think that the story indicates that that was the case. And she says they could have funneled it some of the money when they sold their apartment in the city. They could have funneled it into a condo for me and made my life easier. There's a reason Ashley did not want to use her last name in said story. The parents will know.

By the way, only 4% and obviously this study is skewed because who would actually admit it, but only 4% of adults have admitted to asking their parents for their inheritance early. However, 76% of parents when surveyed said that they would be willing to offer it up if asked. And what if you end up living longer or there are some issues with your health? Right. And you need to go into long-term care. Like, there's so many things that, like, retirement is expensive. And I think it was Lane or Matt. I can't remember which one it was, saying that the baby boomers are hoarding all of this money. Well, they're also living into their 80s when their parents were lucky to see 70. Yeah. You know? And so my mom is 81 and still in... really decent health. By the way, even though 76% say they would be willing to pass it down early, only 8% reported actually doing so. You know, I have said this again and again, Scott. What are we going to do in these United States when it is our turn up to bat in the assisted living slash long-term care, like all of that stuff? The money is not there for our generation below us. The money is not there the way our grandparents saved it. And then the costs have like times 10. Some of those places are $10,000, $15,000 a month. But your grandparents and my grandparents grew up in the Great Depression. Yes. And they had dollar bills hidden in between dinner plates. My grandfather, when he passed, there was plenty of money for my grandmother to live all of her days out and then go into long-term care. Plenty of money. That is not going to happen for anyone like 40 and younger. Where is that money coming from? It's not a party, but we do get row. I want to be in that woman's retirement facility. I want to be her neighbor. All right, Ginger. It's got to Sherry in Shawnee. Sherry, good afternoon. Hello. Hello. How are you guys doing today? We're doing well. Thank you for asking. So I have kind of a weird perspective because I don't have children. So, you know, it's just me and my cats and they're well taken care of. But my mother became ill and she had remarried and my stepfather convinced her to sign everything over to him and that he would distribute to me and my brother's what we were supposed to get. And then after mom passed away, he did not do so. And he just recently sold. the house that he was supposed to sell immediately, but he's been renting it for like 15 years and making money off of that. And he just sold it and has no intention of, he's cut off contact with me and my brothers. We're not going to see any of what my mom worked so hard for to provide for us. Do we expect it? No. but that was what her wishes were, but it was not in a will. Sherry, I was just going to say, I've heard those stories, and I am so sorry that happened to you, but you have to have a will in a trust to direct them to do that. Yes. That is my point, is just do not trust anybody to do what your final wishes are. They need to be, it needs to be in paper, in the paper, something. Amen. All right, hey, appreciate the call. Thank you for it and the story. Jim, In Olathe, Jim, good afternoon. Hello.

Hey, how are you guys doing? Happy Monday. Same. So I'm the executor of my mom's estate. My mom's got, oh, I don't know, she's close to $200,000 in investments and everything. And my dad passed away a year and a half ago, and they would not spend the money. And my mom was born in 42. My dad was born in 40, yeah. and 1940, but they saved their whole life to take care of us. And it's like, we are all fine, spend the money. And they would not go anywhere. They wouldn't go do anything, you know, their home bodies. And my mom is 84 now, needs dentures, and she won't go spend the $5,000 because she doesn't want to spend our money. And it's like, mom. They're like, it's your money, spend it. Yes, spend the money, enjoy your life, you know. Yeah, it's just crazy. It's just, my kids, I've helped my kids out all my life. I've helped them what college they've done. I've helped them through it, paid for it. They dropped out, didn't want to, and they have successful lives now. They're doing great. You know, I gave them money ahead of time. Am I going to leave them money? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how long I live. So, you know, it's nobody, I've worked. My wife and I have worked all of our life for the money we make, and we provided for our children very well. They have not wanted for anything. They didn't wear rags for clothes. Yeah. You know, so. I drew him up the ladder as far as I could get him. Now it's your turn to climb all the rest of the way. That's right. That's exactly right. Is he working on a front loader? I don't know. I don't know. And how far is that guy reversing? He's like, I've worked hard on my whole. You're still backing up. The loading dock was back there, bro. Thank you for the goal. You passed it twice. According to CBS News, the crew on Mark Zuckerberg's yacht didn't hear a call for assistance from a nearby ship that had run out of fuel off the coast of Alaska. By the time Mark Zuckerberg's yacht received the call the ship in need of help, it already received assistance from another vessel. There were multiple yachts in those waters at the time. The issue surfaced in a report in the Alaska Beacon and Independent News publication, which said in an August 8th article that the call for assistance came from a 21-foot skiff that ran out of fuel between the fishing community of Petersburg and the city of Juneau. But Mark Zuckerberg's yacht didn't hear the call for help. Well, they were busy. Did you hear over the weekend a mother and a baby died when a sightseeing vessel or something capsized? And it turns out, I have to look up all the, I was reading this couple days ago, but it turns out the captain of this boat had a license to drive a limousine.

I'm not laughing. Well, I know, but like, how are you supposed to know when you climb on one of the things, to go sightseeing or whatever, that the dude that's taking your ticket knows what he's doing? And the answer is you don't. How do you know if you get into a Uber that the person actually has a driver's license? You would think with a boat, you would have to have some sort of boat knowledge. to take passengers out on water, open water. And when I get into an Uber, I would like to think that they have driving knowledge. The vessel was carrying 14 people when it overturned to New York Harbor on Saturday night. And it was too many people, Sam. It was overloaded. Arrested for reckless endangerment and authorities are still investigating what happened. 913-586-7798 here on KMBZ.

Carly Simon seemingly shaded her estranged ex-husband James Taylor in a biting new song from her first album of original songs in 18 years. Comes in waves, Simon's highly anticipated 24th studio album that will drop on Friday, features as its second track, Maybe I Never Loved You. Maybe I Never Loved You, but anyway, I thought I did. I married you. We had a kid that counts for something. Maybe I never loved you, yes, and maybe I did. And maybe you never loved me, although God knows you said you did. They've been divorced since 1983. Well, let it go. Scott, she is an artist and is sharing her feelings through her art. I think she has to let it go. I think that might have also been, I'm not going to say what I want to say without looking it up, a tumultuous relationship. We will leave it at that. Okay. I don't know anything about it other than they've been divorced since I was 12. Yeah. Well. It'll have no fury. Well, apparently not. She did release a new song. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Maybe I never loved you? Okay. Oh, I'm not seeing those lyrics in this song.

I love her. Oak Park Mall is expanding its retail lineup with three new stores set to open this fall. The mall announcing that JD Sports Miss A and Happy Beauty will join its mix of retailers in the coming months. JD Sports, a global retailer known for its athletic footwear, apparel and streetwear, will bring another major sneaker and sportswear brand to the mall's lineup. I think that makes it four now. Yeah. Are you surprised that a shoe... companies on that list because to Sam's point, there are about a billion different ways you can buy shoes right now straight to your door. Now, they're a little like swimsuits and underwear and shoes. I would prefer to buy them in person. I would prefer, but I... Four? Yeah, I think that's four now. Four shoe stores? Well, two per floor and one in each wing. Okay. Whatever. You know, I put that in there to show us that malls are not dead. That one isn't. Okay, you just read that story. Do you know it was silently going through my head as you read it? Malls are dead. The thought of getting out and going into a mall, just the thought, is so exhausting to me I could lay down on the floor and take a nap. Not happening. Ever. Even the Barnes & Noble? Nope. Well, town center's not a mall. You know why? There's a Barnes and Noble at Oak Park. You can drive right up, walk out and go in. You don't have to do the maze of all, you know. But I like to go in, like if I'm in the market for a book. Okay. I like to go in and see what books are available that I've never even heard of. I do. But not inside of them all. But the Barnes & Noble at Oak Park, you can walk in from the outside. Okay. No, not me. I'm telling you. I'm never going to be a mall walker. Is it us or is it the establishment? And I'll use my movie experience over the weekend as my example. Now, maybe because it was one of the greatest movies made in a long time, that this is why I felt this way. But I got to be honest, I was kind of dreading the whole idea of going and sitting in an uncomfortable chair to watch a movie. And then when I left, I was like, you know, I missed that experience. I'm going into a mall. No, going to a movie. I'm using that as my analogy. I see. Maybe we wouldn't hate going to the mall as much as we think we would. We used to do it all the time. I love our couch and I love our bed. And every time we're like, let's go out and do something. When it's this hot out, the house wins every time.

And this song came on and I thought of you. It's so good. Story here, scientists may have developed an easy way to stop one of the most aggressive and common forms of head and neck cancer. that often starts in the mouth and the throat, and all it would take is popping a piece of bioengineered bean gum. Wait, what? I'm good. No. Would you like juicy fruit, fruit stripe, or bean? I'll take the bioengineered bean gum, if you don't mind. I'm looking out for my health as I get older. Okay. What is bean gum? I wouldn't look that one up. Okay. It's made from Lab Lab beans. Okay. It is a natural plant-based food additive. Mm-hmm. Okay. Or you could just avoid the things that give you mouth cancer. Okay. We're not going to go there, but you could do that, Sam. Okay. Don Nelson, the second winning as coach in NBA history who won five championships as a player with the Boston Celtics died over the weekend. He was 86.

Great player, great coach. Don Nelson has passed at the age of 86. Okay. Workers at an airline catering facility near Los Angeles International Airport are raising alarms about alleged unsanitary conditions. A union representing employees at Flying Food Group has filed a safety complaint. It alleges that workers have observed cockroaches and other vermin in food prep areas and near airline food carts. Vermin. Vermin.

One employee said she opened dishcards to find decomposing food covered in mold maggots and flies. And this is the place that provides the food for the airplane. The airplane or the airport? I beg your part. I was going to say, when was the last time you were on a plane and they had food? I'll take the lukewarm beef stroganoff, please, with a side of fried vermin. She claims that a supervisor ordered her to clean the dishes. Protein rich, Sam. So I guess they also do flights, too. She claims a supervisor ordered her to clean the dishes for reuse on an upcoming flight. Close. I guess if it's an international flight, do they have to feed you? Yes, they do. I think we have this conversation like a week or two ago. Last week, yeah. When we flew to London, you know, you leave at night, so you arrive in the morning in Europe. And I remember we got a, I want to say a dinner. Help me here, Sam, when you went to Bulgaria. And then like a bagel with some cream cheese or something in the morning. Actually, breakfast wasn't that bad. I got a full dinner hot. Well, I say hot. It wasn't hot. But they tried to heat it. I was up because I couldn't sleep for the midnight snack, which was also a full meal served hot and then a full breakfast. Did I ever tell you about the craziest thing that happened? regarding an in-flight meal in my life. And it was back when you did get a meal on a flight. So I would have been early teens, I want to say, probably the 90s. Like right when they stopped kind of doing that. And we were almost the last to board, and it was me and my mom, I think. And we see these two men coming, like it was taking a long time. Like we were waiting on somebody, but you didn't know who. We see these two big men coming down the aisle. There's a man in between the two large men with a hoodie over his wrists, hiding his wrists. Well, he walks right by my seat. I'm in the aisle. And it's clearly handcuffs. And the two big guys are like the U.S. Marshals. So we've got like fugitives on a plane here and they sit right behind my mom and I, right behind us. And so later in the flight, you know, we're kind of writing notes back and forth. You lean back. So what are you in for? What do you think he did? Yeah. Do you mind if I bring my seat back? And, you know, they had kind of, I don't want to say normal conversation, but. when he had to go to the bathroom, they had to get up with him. And I mean, it was this whole deal. And we were like, what do you think he did? So they come to give us our meal choices. And I said, I'll take the lasagna, whatever it was. And they ask him behind us, and what would you like, sir? And he says, I'll have the lasagna. And the flight attendant goes, I'm sorry, that young girl in front of you just with the last one. He can have it. He can have it. Are we giving him a spork with his meal? It was so weird. And then when it came time to deplane, they deplane first. Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure. We have a quick update from Bill's Mafia. Of course. Oh, and the seat? So this is the new football stadium in Buffalo. Where you can't see the field. Got it.

So we reported earlier in the program that there's a couple of seats that the view is obstructed by giant speakers, a couple, the giant screens. And if you happen to be on the 50-yard line on the third deck of the stadium, your view is obstructed by an entire stairwell. Yeah. So the officials with the team, of course, are on sports radio today trying to defend their horrible design. It's awful. I'm not even making this up. They said they will be handling it on a case-by-case basis. Is that a staircase-by-staircase basis? Yes, it's a staircase by staircase basis. And I'm here to tell all you all, when you get home, don't do it now, don't do it if you're driving. You have to look up the photos of the obstructed view, and I posted it on my KMBZ page. It is... hilarious. It is so funny. Not if you're a fan. No, no, no. And here's the other little controversy, Sam. I don't know if you saw this in the last couple hours. Fans are now, they kept the virtual... tour they were given when they chose their seats okay and so they have screenshots of the virtual tour and what it showed their seat was going to look like versus what they paid for and several of these fans kept very detailed notes and said to the people selling the tickets wait a minute what is this railing right here are you sure we do not want to pay for an obstructed view And they were all told, oh, no, no, no, no, no. No, there's no obstruction. This is just, you know, this was built into the design. Every seat is a good seat. That was a flat out lie. So I'm guessing during the course of the construction, and yes, we're aware of the Kansas City connection to the new Bill Stadium. There had to have been hundreds of men and women working on this stadium. At no point. During the construction progress, did somebody say, hey boss, we might have a problem here. What do you mean? Well, I'm sitting in the seat. I can't see the field. Safety walls made of plexiglass or thick glass frame several of the stairwells around the 50 yard line sections, creating, quote, a heavily blurred viewing experience. Here's where else you're obstructed. Some of the seats, and it's funny when you look at it and you see the stairwell and you're like, there's a stairwell in front of my seat. People were taking photos as people were going to and from the bathroom, to and from concessions right in front of your seat. The only thing you can see is heads. Are people right in front of your seat? Not to mention, why did they even put stairwells in front of the seats? You go to Arrowhead Stadium, you walk out of the stairwell. Yes. And when you go down to the front row, all there is is a railing so that you don't die. Who's idea? Okay, well, that railing, you know what we're going to do? We're going to put some stairs right there. You guys, it's so many of the seats. The first five to ten rows of certain 400-level sections feature structural overhangs, heavy stair railings.

and concrete setups that cut off the view of the nearest end zone. There are standing platforms, stairs, and structural pillars. Pillars. I understand. Blocking the opposite side of the field for some of the lower level rows. These are not just the nosebleeds. Some of these seats that are obstructed are 50-yard line down below. This reminds me that state farm commercial. where they're in the stadium. Right behind the pillar. Yes. It got the cheap seats. I should have looked first or double-checked or whatever. Yes. By the way, the operating officer, the chief operating officer of the bills, Pete Yayeli, seemed to brush off the concerns, saying it was less than 1% of the personal seat license holders who were complaining. By the way, they did sell 17,000 personal seat licensing contracts, read that season ticket holders, all of which purchased more than one seat. That means at least 34,000 of the seats in that stadium were purchased before it even opened. Who do you blame here? Because I blame everybody from the design to the team, not the players. But honestly, Scott, as this is being built, I mean, we're doing this in Lawrence right now, right? Yeah. Are there not people with the university like on site making sure that I don't know when you're seated in the stadium, you can see the field? Like, did no one realize this until they... painted the end zones and we're ready to go? I mean, it's 2026, Dana. Stadium construction is not a new art. And what is a booming business, actually? It actually is. Populus, which has the contract, the architecture contract on the new Bill Stadium, I believe also has contracts on several other NFL teams throughout the country. I believe they're working on the... Practice facility here, but if I remember correctly, Manica, another Casey based program is doing our stadium. So we should be able to see the field. Okay. Now, listen to this. The new Highmark Stadium for the Buffalo Bills was constructed by a joint venture between Gilbane Building Company and Turner Construction Company in association with two other partners. The open air venue was designed by Populus. Okay. So there were a number of different companies with... Yes. So if you're populace today, you need to be on social going, look, we designed the bowl. We did not design the stairwell in front of the stands. Well, but you also have to blame the team. Oh, I agree. I think the team takes the brunt because that's their stadium. Where were you when the designs were being... Where were you when the building was going up? Did nobody say, you know, if I just swing by, I know you guys are still only halfway done, but I would love to take a... Oh, you know they noticed it when the guy went up there to bolt those seats in and realized he couldn't even see a lick of grass, but it was way too late at that point. This update, the chiefs have already been urged to avoid the bill's mistake, and I quote, don't do this. Don't do what?

So, Elise Summit Man and former law enforcement officer faces felony charges for possession of child pornography. And let me tell you how this happened. It is... beyond Scott the pale. 51-year-old Clifton Wade Tucker Carlson faces counts of possession of child pornography and invasion of privacy. He has experience as a law enforcement officer, though I cannot find where he served prior and currently works as an armed guard with access to firearms according to the probable cause statement. Tucker Carlson had his guests out to his camper. at a lake in Warsaw last week. Okay? All right. While his guests were there, they found a live video feed on his phone that was accidentally left in the bathroom of the camper. So follow me here. Phone is in the bathroom in this camper. Dad, guest, gets up to go use the restroom, looks at the phone and notices it is a live video. of child porn of a minor undressing before getting into the shower. The victim's father said when he confronted Tucker Carlson about the, like, what the hell? You can imagine you would come out of the bathroom and go, what is this? He was begging and pleading with the dad.

before handing over an SD card saying, quote, here's all the video footage. Then he tried to say that the camera was intended to record someone stealing from him not to record children. Benton County Sheriff's Office was called. They looked at the video footage on the SD card. There was a different camera on that SD card, and that showed footage of a minor in a state of undress. Okay. His bond has been set at $50,000. I think in a case like this, we absolutely deserve to know where did he work before. He's from Lee's Summit. That does not mean he worked in Lee's Summit. You could have worked anywhere on the Missouri side, right? We don't know. But his law enforcement background was important enough that they put it in the probable cause statement. What would knowing where he had worked prior, why would that be important to you? Because I don't think this type of crime is a one off. I don't think this is something that you've been a law-abiding citizen your whole life and then you wake up one day and start recording minors in a state of undress. But it would have been in his probably private capacity. Would you not agree that he would, if he did these things? Because we don't know where he worked. But like, okay, let's say. Just throwing this out. Okay. Was he in his role as a police officer ever around any children? We'll leave it at that. Like, you, I think the public deserves to know this. And also, I cannot believe the bond is only $50,000. That seems shockingly low to me for a crime of this nature. Yes. I also read that the family left the next day. Why would you wait? I don't know because we, like, I don't know how many people were there. This is a camper. There couldn't have been 20 people there. No, wait a minute. In fairness. Could have been storming. Like, I don't know. It could have been. The former officer could have been taken away. And it's eight, nine o'clock at night. And you're like, well, we're here for the night. He's not. He's not here anymore. And so we're just going to stay here. Yeah, where are the other cameras? You know what I'm saying? Like, I would just be like, we're out. We're out. Or were they on other properties? You said this was a live feed. A Lee Summit Man is facing felony charges after hidden camera videos were found by guests at his lake property, is all it says. I read that. The videos came from somewhere else. Guest visiting found Tucker Carlson's phone in the bathroom with video footage of a minor undressing to take a shower in the bathroom. Okay, that's weird. During a conversation later in the evening, he was begging and pleading about the incident to the reporting party, who is the father of the victims. He claimed the camera was set up to catch a worker stealing from him. Okay, in your bathroom? The next day, the guests left and contacted police. A story here from the Associated Press, UEFA, Kanka Kaff, and the AFC believe that FIFA President Gianni Infantino's recent plan to sell an interest in the World Cup was a fundamental breach of trust with the institutions of world soccer's governing body and those that it serves. UAFA runs soccer in Europe, Kankakeaf in North and Central America and the Caribbean, and AFC governs the sport in Asia.

From the Associated Press, in the past year, the U.S. has seen a jump in frequent marijuana users going to the hospital with nausea and vomiting. Quoting here from the U.S. CDC, the abruptness and sustained magnitude of the increase is largely due to the condition getting its own diagnosis code last fall, which is providing a more accurate picture. They're not necessarily more cases. We just know of them more accurately. Of what was an under-recognized problem, according to the authors of this report. Hospital emergency room diagnoses of the condition, which I can't pronounce. rose 16% from last October to May of this year. The syndrome is seen in people who frequently use marijuana, especially smokers, characterized by recurring nausea, uncontrollable vomiting, and excruciating abdominal pain. What are these people smoking? I don't know. Marijuana? Yeah. How bad do you want to be high? I was in college the most recently of the three of us. So I knew a lot of people who ingested the devil's lettuce daily like all day. Like all day. Not a single one of them ended up in the hospital. Sam, maybe it's that Colombian red we've been hearing about. Okay. These stories just baffle me. Is it? possible that they were so high they were actually smoking the poop lettuce. Don't make any jokes about that. It almost got me last night. Did it really? I don't know what we had, but let's just say there was a 3.30 sprint to the bathroom. Rolling up some of that romaine. Oh, my gosh. And then here's the worst. I'm so embarrassed. Clearly. So it's like 3.30 in the morning, and I'm laying there awake. My stomach is hurting. And it's just like, blibble, blub. And I get out of bed and I sprint. I mean, I haven't run that fast in a long time. And so I'm finished, wash my hands, get back in bed. About a minute later, T gets up. And she looks over at me because she, last night, for whatever reason, I was struggling to fall asleep and stay asleep. Yeah. And she looks at me at my eyes are wide open and she sees it in the light coming from the TV. And she goes, You're awake? And I go, oh yeah. I go, honey, trust in me and in God. Do not go into that path. Do not go in there. I go trust in me and in God. Do not go in that room. So she went and found one down the hall. Did you look at her and say, I'm about to blow this B up? It was thunder down under, baby.

Story here from Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, where a bizarre theft was caught on police body camera. Authority said a woman stole a fire department pickup truck, turned on its emergency lights, and then just drove off. When officers finally tracked her down, they found something else that they weren't expecting. The woman behind the wheel of the stolen Pleasant Prairie Fire Department pickup was not responding to any emergency. As police questioned the suspicious driver, the officer discovered that the woman was not dressed for the occasion. In fact, she wasn't dressed at all. So the officer, why are you naked right now? She responded, I'm supposed to be meeting someone. Don't do drugs, kids. The naked woman who is now identified as 36-year-old Emily Fair. Sam, can we get, please, please, can we get the... Oh, there she is. Please, can we get the audio? Excuse me, I have not updated you on the charges against her. Supposed to be meeting someone. Emily Fair is now charged with operating a motor vehicle without the owner's consent. One of the officers who happens to be female says, so why are you naked driving a truck? Our truck. Keep in mind, as she went about her joyride, she also had access to the breaker breaker one nine. And she used it and let me just quote some of the things she was saying into the CB radio. Number one, Brennan, do you read me? It's not clear who Brennan is. I'm sure that's the somebody she was going to meet. Number two. Brennan, come in. I'm hungry. You got food in there? The radio messages went back to the station, of course, and then she was arrested at a Department of Public Works garage around an hour after she took the truck, meaning she was in the truck, naked, stolen an hour before they caught up with her. Gonna need some new seat covers. Hey, stop. Put it in park. The woman behind the wheel of this stolen Pleasant Prairie Fire Department pickup early Tuesday morning was not responding to an emergency. Are you a firefighter? Yeah. Are you supposed to be driving this truck? Yeah. As police questioned the suspicious driver, the officer discovers the woman isn't dressed for the occasion or at all. Why are you naked right now? I'm close to be here. The naked woman now identified as 36-year-old Emily Fair, charged with operating a motor vehicle without owner's consent. Court docs say the bizarre case started just before 1 a.m. early Tuesday. Investigators say Faire was caught on video climbing into the pickup truck, turning on the emergency lights, and driving off from Fire Station 3 in Pleasant Prairie. It's just minutes later. Dispatchers hear strange calls on the radio. Brennan, do you read me? I'm hungry. You've got food in there? It would take officers and out. I'm hungry. You got food in there? Brennan, do you hear read me? Brennan. The funniest thing is, I don't even know where to begin, but the officer that goes, are you a firefighter? Yeah. You're a firefighter. Mm-hmm. Why ain't you got no clothes on, Lurley? I'm going to meet somebody.

Oh, Dana's right. Drugs are bad, kids. Very bad. The Power Bowl is now up to $95 million. If you get the lump sum, by the way, if you win, $905 million. Okay. If you get the lump sum, $391 million. Not that that's anything to sneeze that, don't get me wrong. No, no. But more than 50% of it is gone. Well, yeah, then taxes. Yeah, that's 391 before taxes. Oh, yeah. You walk away with like, what, $300 million? $247 million. I'm okay with that. Oh, I would be too. It's just amazing how much they take. I mean, I would be fine with $243, you know? 243, 243. Did you see that they're expanding it over to England? I did read that. And then it said, don't worry, it doesn't hurt your odds here. I disagree. This is... Sorry, go ahead. Well, Sam, help me understand. It doesn't hurt your odds. Why? The odds are based on the number selections, not the number of people playing. There are 292 million different number possibilities. Right. So theoretically, if you had $292 million, couldn't you buy every ticket? Every number? No, you would need $2 per ticket, so you would need $500. Whatever that is. And you wouldn't you couldn't quick pick. You would have to say to some poor clerk, okay, number one. They would not let you do that. No. And even then, you would still be losing. So if you did that on this payout, that would cost you just under $600 million. So you would have gone through that endeavor, all of that time to print out all of those tickets to lose $400 million. Okay. So you would have to check your mouth before you did that. What they're saying is with the addition of the UK as part of Powerball, whatever it is. Is it Powerball or Mega? I think it's Powerball. Yeah. What they're saying is this is only going to increase the pot. Okay. It's going to rise more quickly. Now, it does also, though, with the more people that get in, help me hear, mathematician Sam Stevie, if more people get in, it does increase the chance that you would have. If you were to win, you might have to split it. Yes, that is definitely true. Also, it increases the likelihood of there being a winner by the sheer number of individuals purchasing tickets, meaning the pots should be lower again. What makes it really interesting is that, In the United States, each state pays a certain percentage, allegedly, to the schools in that state, allegedly, because I don't believe it. Right. So what happens with the money over... Exactly. Across the pond. Oh, I hate that phrase. What is across the pond? It's not a pond. It's a big church ocean. And how much money do they actually give to the schools each year? Well, what I used... I was told by someone who was very, very, very smart journalist capital J that it was... a shell game. So did, let's say it's 200 million. Does $200 million go to the schools? Yes. But they removed $200, $200 million from the schools here. Oh, so... Put that over there. And so...

It's a net zero. So here we are. This was $200 million. We had set aside for you. We're going to claw that back. And here comes some Powerball money. Correct. That is the way it was explained to me. So did the money, does money go to the schools? Yes. But it was also removed from the schools before it went to the schools. So it was a net zero. That would be like your employer saying, I need $100 and here's $100 for your next paycheck. Right. Well, I didn't make... The math does not math. I didn't make any money there. I just kept the money I already had. Okay, fair point from the text line. If you were to follow Dana's logic and purchase 292 million powerball tickets, yes, some of the other combinations would be partial winners. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you'd win a million here or a million there. Only being down 400 million in your endeavor would actually only be about a $300 million loss. Great idea. But still a loss. Let's do it. Wow. If you had that kind of money, would you just do it because you could? If I had that kind of money, I would be living on an island somewhere, probably in Fiji. I'd be yachting around Alaska. ignoring distress calls. Speaking of Island, we started Widows Bay last night. If you have Apple TV for Ted Lasso, run, do not walk. What is it called? Widows Bay. Widows Bay. It is hilarious, dark, dark. It's not scary in the sense of like, you have bad dreams that night. It's like something is going on on the island. You don't know what it is. But the, the dialogue, the writing, Scott, is wicked. Fast, smart, funny. I need some Sam's because I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Are these short little 30-minute episodes? More like an hour. Okay. Stay away from the instigators. It's not good. Okay. Good to know. Dark wins. We are now halfway through season two. It is absolutely a run. Do Not Walk. Dark wins. That's what Scott had last night. I wouldn't win. 913-586-7-98 here on Dana and Parks.

Today is National Duran Duran Appreciation Day? How come they get a day? I don't know. They're hungry like the wolf. Seriously? That's Duran Duran, right? Yes. Oh, okay, good. Yeah, they're hungry like the wolf. A story here from the Kansas City Star, the world's largest data center developer announced its plans to request public tax incentives to help build its proposed data center in DeSoto. Oh, yeah, free money, good. Digital reality, which operates more than 300 data centers around the world, purchased roughly 1,400 acres of land in the Ad Astra Enterprise Park. This is over by the vehicle battery plant, Panasonic. to eventually develop a nine building data center and lease it to a global cloud infrastructure operator. No tenants have yet been identified. The first phase of the development is proposed to be located on 281 acres at the southeast corner of 99th in Lexington. And the second phase is set to be on approximately 1,100 acres at the southwest corner of Astra Parkway and 115th Street, according to city documents. How about this? Say no. Yeah, I am not a DeSoto resident, but I do happen to know a couple. And I know that they could be, could not be angrier about what happened with the Panasonic plant. Folks who moved out there, folks who lived in Kansas City in the metro and moved out to DeSoto because they wanted quiet. They wanted peace. They wanted the rolling plains of Kansas to bring them joy as they woke up and sipped their coffee on their front porch every morning. Tell me more. And now they have blackout curtains because that plant is glowing 24 hours a day. An area that for the most part, unless you're in the actual downtown area of DeSoto, doesn't even have street lights. Doesn't have street lights. Yeah, it's country. Well, true. What is it going to take? I mean, if I'm into Soto, we're moving. Like quickly. Yeah. If this thing goes in. Which, by the way, those properties out there are specifically the ones in the country with all the new builds that they're building these farm mansions out there. Not cheap. Very expensive. Or at least they were purchased for a lot of money. Probably not as expensive anymore now that you have a Panasonic plant and soon to be a data center right there. By the way, I went to visit a, speaking of these McMansions and stuff. These things are popping up everywhere now. Oh, yeah. I went over to a friend's house in Roland Park the other day. And I hadn't been over there in a long, long time. And he lives east of row. They were building like these gorgeous homes.

I'm not going to say what Streetie lives on, but it's east of row. And then the other day I was driving over to Saras, and to get there, I have to drive through old Shawnee Town, right? Okay. Up where Shawnee Pizza is and, you know, basically Neiman. Right. All right. They've got a bunch of Little McMansion, not little, big McMansions going in in Old Shawnee Town. It's the trend right now that's happening all over Waldo. Developers will buy one property and rent it out for... however long it takes for the property next door to come up for sale. Yeah. Combine the two properties and build a mansion. I mean, it's not like they're not unattractive homes. Don't get me wrong. But my friend doesn't live in one of these McMansions. He lives in an older home. Yeah. You know, which is to say late 1940s or whatever. Right. Whenever Roland Park went up. And I said to him, I said, I said, those are really pretty homes. They're very nice. Unless you live right next door to it and the value of your property just went through the roof and you didn't do anything. And you can barely afford to live there now if you're on a fixed income. Or if you're, you know, trying to find one of those old airplane bungalows as your first house and now it's going to be $400,000 because they built a McMansion next door. And DeSoto just has to say, we don't want your data center here. You think that's going to happen? I hope it does, but I don't think so. No. And I don't understand the attraction that these towns have to these property killers. And I've yet to be informed on how they actually make money for the city. No one has given me an answer on that. I bet they don't make money. Exactly. They just store data. All right, we got to run. Have a great night. Sam Stevie the 3rd, finest man in these United States.
