HOUR 4: More companies turn to drones for speedy delivery.

You're listening to the Dana and Parks podcast on KMBZ. I had a speech professor at KU absolutely hated like nails on a chalkboard the sound of Eddie Money's voice. I love this song. I like Eddie Money's voice. He actually gave us a speech. He was demonstrating how to give a speech and he decided to give a speech on how much he hated the voice, the singing voice of Eddie Money. I don't think that deserves a speech. I don't think so either. B minus. Yeah. Yesterday, Dana tried to claim menopause for women only because even though we're named in it, men opause. Apparently, women are dropping thousands of dollars on menopause vacations where treatment for hot flashes, exhaustion, and insomnia turns luxurious. Oh. Mm-hmm. Okay. Some of the stars who have done it, Drew Barrymore, Naomi Watts, Hallie Bari Weiss. Very, very rich Hollywood people. Mm-hmm. Okay. Women are done. This is from the New York Post. Women are done treating menopause like some secret bodily betrayal. They are talking about the shift in their bodies more openly and expecting some real answers. Great. Yep. So anyway, there's now menopause retreats. You've got like 100 grand laying around and you're having hot flashes. Check it out. Yep. There's the inner glow menopause retreat. That's in Miami. It starts at $3,500 for four nights. Okay. How is that not insulting in some way? Your body is changing. Please pay us four grand to experience your body changing. Yeah. It is what it is. When are we going to get the manipause retreat? You do not get a manopause retreat. Not soon enough. You're going to get manopause. No and no. Not soon. Now men do it every summer. It's called fishing and drinking. We were talking about cat calling earlier and here's why I want to bring this up. This story is within the last year, but it's making the rounds again on the socials. They sent two female undercover police officers out jogging. Okay? And the police officers are jogging, jogging, jogging, just in jogging a tire and then watched to see whether men would cat call them because there was a report in this town where this happened that there was a lot of harassment going on on this jogging trail. Is cat calling a crime? Across the pond it is. This was an inkling. Oh, okay. Got it. I ask you, have you ever done it in your younger years? Probably in high school. Probably, right? Sure. As a grown man, I would hope that no one listening has done it. And is it harassment or just really frowned upon boorish behavior? I would keep my cat calling private. You cat call under your breath. Well, I'll give you an example. While back, I was driving somewhere. I don't remember where I was. Actually, it was this morning. It was in Leewood. And I was on state line. And there was a very nice looking younger lady out on a jog. Okay. And there I am. I'm heading southbound on State Line Road, not too far from where you used to live. And I see her. She's on the Kansas side on the sidewalk. And I just, I remember driving passing going, said out loud, I go, damn.

You purve. Now, the windows were up. The radio was playing some music. There's no chance in hell she could have heard me, but it was obvious that she takes very good care of herself and good for her. And I just wanted to offer her a very private compliment. A private compliment. Damn. Oh, my God. I don't think it's... Now, wait a minute. I don't think it's as prevalent as it once was. Have you ever cat called a man? Um, in your younger years. I. I doubt it. Really? I doubt it. Okay, do you ever private cat call in your car if you pass? Let's pretend that Johnny's not listening. No, I mean, like, okay, that's funny that you brought up the jogger this morning. There was a woman. I was also on state line road today. So here we go with the woman. I swear to you. Have you ever private cat called a man? No, I'm going to about to tell you what I did this morning. Okay. She was wearing a very tight fitting. It might have been the same woman. Tight little booty shorts. She was probably 45 years old. Hello. Little sports bra. I swear to you, I turn on to Overbrook. She's jogging, and I just go, damn, I swear to you. That happened this morning. Did she hear you? No, the windows were rolled up. Okay. I drove down state line this morning and did not see this woman. Literally just thinking you are in incredible shape. Clearly, you're a jogger, and I'm not. And, you know, I was just like, Look at you. Go mama. But you've never looked at another man. And done some boorish, like brerper, whatever it is you guys do. I don't even, I don't know how to whistle like that. I don't know how to do that. Well, first of all, Sam and I don't engage in that sort of behavior. That would be boorish. But you've never driven down the road and seen some guy walking or jogging, yogging, and just thought to yourself, not things, said out loud. Hello. Yeah, probably. I don't probably. But never to the point that I would stick my head out a window. And it's different if. It's all bad behavior, but I do think if a woman is walking down the street and there's like a group of men that are being obnoxious, that is different. Because to me, that would make me uncomfortable. Sure. You could feel, you know, like, leave me alone. Leave me alone. It's apparently illegal across the bond. Can men not be cackold? I think you can be. Would it be harassment? I think it's bad behavior. I think it's bad behavior. Don't you think it was more prevalent? Thank God. I'm not saying this was okay. I'm saying it's less...

prevalent now, and I'm thankful for that. But if you asked your mom, Scott, or my mom in the 60s and 70s, I know for a fact it was commonplace back then. So the text line has reminded me of a time where you did engage in boorish behavior. When I felt Johnny Dare's bicept. It wasn't his bicep. It was too. I went, look at you. You work out. It was more than that. Sam, I was there. It was bicep adjacent from what I've heard. It was like 15 years ago. Further in. Further in. So we were having a little get-together, a little crackers and wine and stuff like that with the higher-ups and the company who were in town. And they wanted to meet with Dana and me and I think Laslo was there. Johnny Dare was there. And Johnny was talking to the owner of the company at the time. That's right. And I was standing in their little circle of conversation. Dana comes over and goes, hmm. I did not say that. Then you tell the story. No, it's been 15 years. Also, bad, not great behavior. Did you squeeze his pectoral muscle? Did you squeeze his pectoral muscle or not? I kind of went, somebody works out, I think is what I said. Uh-huh. I've been cackold. No, you have not. When? Yes, I have. When? Just different times growing up, longboarding, walking. I was constantly out and about. Sling and dip, Sam? Out of a big car. Well, no. What about when you sling dip at the convention center? I was verbally sexually assaulted sling and dip on many occasions. Not okay. Not okay. Are you serious? I was like 15 and they would say things like, Sam. Can we spread that on? Oh! my gosh. And I would be like, all right, grandma, I'm going to go over here and give people some pretzels, you weirdo. Oh my God. That is not okay. That is not okay. Mm-hmm. Yeah. From the text line, if everybody was going to be honest, we all do it. Males and females. I never felt weird about it. Like, it was weird when the old ladies were asking you to spread dip on my... That was weird. But like when I was walking and somebody was like, hey, I'd be like, what's up? I never felt weird about it. Hmm. All right. Dale in Eastern Shawnee. Hello, Dale. Hello, Dale. I just want to call out Dana for her double standard. You know, we do it, Scott. And you say everybody does it, and I agree. But when we do it, Scott, she wants to put us in a white windowless van and call us to. So you put Dana in the same room with Salvador Perez and bud the door. Is he right? Very funny about the white windowless van drop Dale. Very funny.

And by the way, Dale was going to say that I love Jack Caglione. Johnny did buy me his jersey. You realize I am a champion of that child because he is my child's age. Not the way you were talking about him the first time we talked about him on the show. Absolutely not. I think he's lovely and I think people have too high of an expectation for him. He's 20, he's my daughter's age, my younger daughter's age. From the text line, I'm driving on state line right now. And damn! That woman is still jogging. Man, she's been at it for about six hours now. That's impressive. I'm not even mad. 9135. McDonald's Diet Coke as I was driving by her. Like, look at you jogging. 913-586-7-9-8. Take another bite of my breakfast burrito. Right. Sam Stevie the Third. My name is Scott Parks here on KMBZ. I told Scott during a break, there are a couple of cases over the years that I... recoil when I see anything about it. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to see. I don't want to click on it. I don't want to see the crime scene photos, like all of this stuff. And I think for all of us, Scott, especially in this business, as we get older, it gets harder to report on some of these things. That's just a fact. As you have children, as you go through life, stuff that didn't bother me in my 20s because I didn't have the life experience to truly understand really bothers me now. And you didn't have kids. And one of the things we've talked about off the air is do we cover This Lindsey Clancy murder trial that is full steam ahead this week. So explain what that, for those who are not keeping up. Allegedly. Was allegedly suffering from severe postpartum psychosis was on six or seven psychotropic medications at the time. And allegedly killed the three children and then flung herself out of window. She survived. She survived. And there's this whole, like, what do you do with her? Because she is on trial for the deaths of those children. And I said to Scott during a break, if they said to me, you have been chosen for the jury pool for a case like that at my age, knowing everything in all of my life experience now. I would probably perjure myself to get off that jury because there are certain things that I just at this age cannot. Perjury is a felony. Handle anymore. Like if they said, can you truly be impartial? I don't know that you would have to lie to get out of it. I would just say no. This is not a case. And let me give you an example without getting into the details. They played the 911 call in that courtroom today. The media has been banned from releasing the... audio, but we have the transcript of that call. I don't know how you can even be in that room and listen to that when the husband arrives home. I just don't. And then what do you do with that woman, Scott? Do you, does she go to a psych ward for the rest of her life? She, do you, do you?

Executor? I mean, like... But let me ask you a question. You have always said if you want to someday serve on a jury, but it's highly unlikely... Yeah, I think I'd be a very good juror, not in a case like that. But with the job that you currently have, you're highly unlikely to ever be picked. This woman does deserve, would you not agree a fair trial? Of course. And you have always said you could be impartial. There's a difference between could you be impartial. I think I could listen to all the evidence, right? But could you go through that? And I'm telling you I couldn't go through that. I would not be able to sit through that. I would not be able to look at those photos. I just would not be able to do it. Well, if you can't, then who can? Somebody better than me. I don't know if I'd say that. Because I believe in the system. I truly do. There's no way I could sit through that. But you have seen, because of what you and I have had to do for, what you and I have been able to do for a living, you have seen horrible things. Yes, and I think I'm crazy because of it. You have seen dead bodies. Yes, I have. So have I. I saw a man one time who was, he stuck his head out of his car window and his head hit a street sign. And then his head was no longer attached to his body. And I got there before they had time to cover everything up. And it was very unnerving. I just think there are some stories that are so awful. What are you going to do to that woman? I mean, I don't know the answer. I'm telling you I don't know the answer. Is she guilty? Yes. You would have to be crazy to do what she did. Do you agree? You'd have to be. You would have to be going through some sort of... Out of your mind nuts to do what she did. At least temporarily, yes. That doesn't mean there's not justice for those children. I don't know what you do with a case like that. Well, but if everybody went in, because I think most people would say, man, I really wouldn't want to be on that jury. But if everybody's feeling that way, then everybody's going in saying, I can't do this. The evidence is going to be too gruesome. It's going to be awful. I don't want to have to look at those pictures of the kids in their pajamas and they're lifeless and all this stuff. I mean, then. Somebody has to do it. Exactly. I mean, how do you? Why did this even go to trial? I'm being honest. Why do even, why does this even go to trial? My guess is that the, and I haven't read up on it today. Cree this thing out. I mean, well, don't put all those people through that. To what? The prosecution's going to want first degree murder and the defense is going to say, no, we're going to try to get her off on some sort of mental. She will never see the light of day. She will either end up in a mental health facility forever. Which probably sounds a lot better than prison. Or prison forever. Yeah. And so the defense is going to take it to trial, hope for at least a sympathetic jury that will send her, you know, convictor of, you know, second-degree murder or not guilty by reason of insanity. Never works. You know that. And I will say this. You could not sit through that and just say, okay, there's just nothing's going to come out of this. Like she did this and we're just going to say,

Not guilty by reason. She was out of her mind. Well, but nobody doubts that John Hinkley shot Ronald Reagan. That would be we want him walking out and around. And in fact, hasn't he been released? Ever thinking at the time? Like, no. He's now on some sort of supervised release. But he never went to prison. He went to a mental institution because he was not guilty by reason of insanity. And I think. An argument could certainly be made that so is Miss Clancy, and I only call her Miss Clancy because I don't remember her first name. I think it's Lindsay. All right. But I think I could defend her in court because I think she deserves a defense, not because I think she's innocent. And... I think she has, I think everybody would agree, has the right for her side to be heard. I just don't think there's any outcome where there's justice or there's a resolution. There's just not. There are certain cases that are just so awful. Nothing is going to come out of this where anyone is going to think, okay, you know. And I know you don't want to talk about this new documentary that's coming out about the four murders up in Idaho. I refuse to watch that. But one of the families that is interviewed and. The way I understand this documentary is that it's from the family side. It's not, they do very little to mention him. But one of the families say, you know, what does justice look like? Our kid coming back, but that's never going to happen. You know, so when you talk about justice in the case of Lindsay Clancy, you know, justice would be her three children coming back. But that's never going to happen. So what does justice then look like in a case like that? And I would make the argument probably she needs to go to a mental institution for the rest of her life. Yeah. 913-586-7798. Real quick before we get to a break, the FCC is banning imports of new foreign-made humanoid robots and power inverters citing national security risk in a move that targets China. Sam, can you explain this? They're afraid that if we import these humanoid robots... Do I understand this correctly that China could manipulate them and turn them against us? The concern being that, yes, there will be some backdoor loophole for them to get into the systems and take control of them, even though they're selling them to us under the guise of we'll have complete and total control. There's other concerns all over the technological world with technology that we buy from China and what that could potentially mean should they decide that they want to, you know, attack us with air quotes in some way. I actually think that's a legitimate concern. I mean, you want to talk about all of the electronic systems on our docs where we, you know, import everything. They're all imported from China. By the way, they're banning also robotic four-legged dogs. Okay. What? There's another story out today.

where authorities in one city are saying they are thinking about using drones. Oh, I saw this. Yep. In schools armed with bear spray to neutralize a threat inside of a school. And strobe lights. Stroblites and bear spray. We're going to disco ball them to death? Well, it would disorient them, yeah. To expand on that in a doomsday fashion, you think they're going to stop at arming these drones with bear spray? When I saw we're going to let a drone into a school with bear spray just in case, like, I'm all for thinking outside of the box with the violence problem that we have in America. I truly am. You know, we had some sort of door dash drone the other day go into an active SWAT crime scene because these robots haven't really figured out what they're doing yet or the humans haven't figured out how to program these so that these things are foolproof, right? Sending a drone into any school with bear spray, I'm just going to tell you right now, that is not going to work out well. That's going to end up in a lawsuit is what that is. Well, we've got to do something. I'm not saying this is the answer. I think we back to the drawing board this one. 913-586-77-98-58-8-6-77-98 here on Dana and Parks. In Seattle, there has been another Jimothy siding. I love that little guy. The two-legged walking raccoon? Well, he's got four legs. People are getting tattoos of that thing. Well, I want to be his friend. Okay. I have an early grievance, and you guys let me know what you think about this. Okay? Because it just happened again. I went to a health care provider earlier this week for a post-release physical. Okay. And I'm not going to name the place. I got excellent care. Good. I felt like my primary paid attention to everything that I had to say and was very responsive. But it's everything from your health care provider to the pharmacy that you pick up your medications from to the person who works on your car and changes the oil. Yeah. Can we get rid of the direct to my phone because you give them your phone number at the mechanic or at the health care provider at the pharmacy, whatever, where it says, thanks for choosing blank. To help us provide continued great care, would you take a moment to fill out the following survey? No one is filling out the survey. The only people who fill out surveys are people who feel like they didn't get good service. People who are angry. That's right. Can we get rid of this? I just got another one from the hospital that I went to on Monday morning. Enough. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I've always just clicked, no thanks.

So you actually click on it and respond, no thanks. I just go to delete. Oh, if I get an email, yeah, it's just deleted. No, these are texts. No, the worst is when you're on hold and then they say, if you don't mind, you know, after you're finished with us here, if we ever get to you, which we might not, hope you have a will on trust. Would you like to stay on the phone for a quick survey? And then it says press one for yes, two for no. Who are the people that press one for yes? So every time I call USAA. which is my insurance company. And I have a question about something. Usually it's about the cars. When, when before I get or just as I'm being sent to a operator, whatever they are, customer service agent, it'll say if you would like to stay on, there will be a quick survey at the end. Yes or no? And I always go, no. No. And I have to verbalize it. No. Okay, we thank you now. Can we also mandate that if you're going to put me on hold for 45 straight minutes? that you do not say in your hold recording, your call is very important to us. Obviously, it's not. Please stay on the line. I'm still here. I've been on hold for 45 minutes listening to the same loop of elevator music. I'm losing my dang mind. I'm not important to you. Then there's the passive aggressive for faster service. You know you can always go online. Yeah. No, I actually know that. And if I could get the service I needed online, I would have done that. Yep. DoorDash, by the way, is going to drones. They announced it today. DoorDash for years has rushed online orders from burritos to cold medicine to your home by bike, by drivers. Now the delivery provider is adding a new mode of transport. Air. DoorDash today announcing that it has secured a key certification from the FAA to make commercial deliveries using drones. The company is developing its own drones along with the ground infrastructure and digital systems needed to coordinate order pickup and delivery. Now, you said Amazon flies in your neighborhood all the time. Yes. Okay. Walmart. Walmart is even trying to come up with some sort of drone technology. What is going to keep? And maybe we have to go to Sam. The Walmart drone from hitting the Amazon drone? Yes, that's exactly what I'm going to ask. Great question, because it's not like there's lanes. And it's not like there's actually a human being back there with a joystick going, okay, I need to head up Elm, and then over to 39th. Okay, here I go. I don't know. They're automated, are they not? Yes. They are, in theory, they should be registered with the FAA. In theory, they should show up on some sort of radar. In theory, they should alert one another when they get too close. I keep saying, in theory, because I don't think they're going to really do all that. But if everybody starts delivering by drone, are we just going to look up...

Someday at 5.30, 6 o'clock in the evening. There's like 30 of them up there. And what would otherwise be a perfectly blue, sunny sky is just covered in darkness because there are drones everywhere. You've seen the movie Wally? No. That's our future. Everybody's going to be wearing hard hats. It'll be the new trend. Why are you wearing a hard hat, Scott? Because I got hit by another drone the other day. Drone smacked me in the noggin. Those things are heavy, too. It'll take you out. They, they're, uh. Anyway, the next time it happens, I'll take a photo and send it to, Scott. Please do. I've never seen one. Yeah, they're bigger than you think they are. And by the way, if you think that that's just going to hover down and lightly set the package on your doorstep. No, it drops it on your front lawn. From like 30 feet up. It does. It's like medication. It's stuff that's not breakable. You're not going to send like, I don't know. Well, you're really testing the limits of not breakable from 30 feet out. A wine glass or something. They're not going to do that. But doesn't this make stealing it, porch pirating, if you will, even that much easier if it's just laying in your front yard? Yeah. And now I don't have to run up to the door, the ring doorbell camera. Yeah. Scott, what did you have a hill in your front yard? I do. I have a little one. Guess what? Now your package is in the street. Yeah. I don't get it. It's not going to land softly. It's going to roll. And here's what I... You say you see three a day or three a week. About three a week. Three a week. We have Amazon trucks going up and down my street all the time. Okay, but is it not... Why don't we see drones? Less energy or less... I don't know. I'm sure there's... Is it not wasting... fewer resources to use the drone technology versus having a driver with the gas and the van. And I'm trying to see the silver lining here because really no one needs Kleenex delivered to their house that badly, right? But people do. But people do. They have dog food delivered to their home. Uh-oh. I'm going to say the controversial thing again. Are we just lazy? I did Amazon a dress to the house, and I should not have. Why did you do it? Because in the photo, you guys, it was this cute, you know, like below the knee, summer dress, and it looked like it had a very sharp navy and white collar, like a shirt collar, like a, you know, sharp collar. And I thought, you know what, I like that. Only like 30 bucks. So one night I ordered this thing. It comes to the door two or three days ago. I pull it out of this tiny package. First of all, I didn't know what it was. I didn't know it was the dress because it was in a tiny, tiny package. Was it vacuum sealed? Yeah. So I opened it up and out falls. You guys remember when your kids played soccer at age like five, the material that... Those mass-produced little soccer jerseys were made out of. Oh, yeah. Right, you know, like when they played for Blue Valley Rec. Don't get too close to a flame. Correct. This thing is so slinky and so crappy that the collar is not a collar at all, Scott. It's painted on.

Well, that's frowned upon. She sent another text that said, wish I was having a, and then there was a hot dog emoji. Oh my gosh. With you. Uh-huh. Wow. The mayor then allegedly sent an altered image of a baby wrapped in a blanket along with the message when she wraps you up in her blanket after you gave her a good and I'm going to stop right there. Well, with the hot dog one, I was thinking maybe she just likes a good hot dog. No. No, Sam, I don't think that's what I think that, yeah. Nathan's all beef. Coture? Really? It's not good. Stop talking now. Is she going to be charged or just relieved of her duties? The police chief has sent a formal complaint to the city attorney saying that these were unlawful. Okay. Uh-huh. Okay. Maybe a bar as hot dog? Maybe she skipped out on the sexual harassment training video. When you, I feel, would you? Clearly. 9113-5-8-6-77-98. Sam, Stevie the Third. Dana Wright, my name is Scott here on KMBZ.

Apparently, people are leaving their garage doors up at night. Oh, good Lord. Yeah. I saw this. Why? Leewood, apparently. Story here from Fox 4. Listen to this. No one likes being woken up in the middle of the night, especially by a knock from police. But in Leewood, that late-night visit could prevent a car break in, a burglary or some other crime. The Leewood Police Department says officers have found nearly 400 open garage doors during overnight patrols so far in 2026. When that does happen, officers stop, notify the homeowners, and help ensure their homes, their vehicles, and belongings are safe. Okay. Officials are encouraging residents to take a few seconds before going to bed to make sure that they have closed their garage doors and have locked their vehicles. We do this every night. Literally, I'll say... Oh, I'm obsessed about it. When it's time to go to bed, I'll say I'll meet you upstairs in two minutes. And I have my own routine. And if somebody else is around, it breaks my concentration. I double check every door, open the garage door, make sure that they're all down, and then close it and lock it again. Because I'm weird like that. Check the stove? Yes, I do, Sam. I do check the stove and the oven. Do people not, because my garage door, unless I'm working out or doing yard work or something, you know, I'm in the garage, I open it, I walk in, and before I even set foot into what is the confines of my home, I press the garage door button. Okay, but... There are times if, like, a rake is barely sticking out, or I don't know, I know you don't have cats, but a cat's wandering by. Like, it will, they're very sensitive. It will, you think it's going down, down, down, down. And if you walk off before you confirm that it has touched the ground, that thing pops back up. Well, as it should. And that it's open. Oh, absolutely. I don't know. What are you? I don't want to hear it. Sam, I know what he's going to say and I don't want to hear it. What are you laughing? Oh, she just had to mention cat. I'll leave it at that. Always double check. Just saying. Well, there is a cat. Was. There was a cat. The door will not go back up. Okay, sorry. Yep. Good talk. Has that ever happened? Nope. Like where a cat tries to scurry out of a garage as the door is going down? It's never happened to me, Dana. Nope. I've had a number of cats. Never got out through the garage. Only a few more seconds in the show. A story from the New York Times data shows that Gen Z is in a sex recession. Oh. Mm-hmm. Fewer Gen Zers are, you know.

Sam, can I read these birthdays? Do we know that these are accurate tonight? I double-checked every single. Is Taylor Swift celebrating a birthday again? Taylor Swift is 36 again today. Elizabeth Dole is 90. Ken Burns is 73. Martina McBride is 60. And Dak Prescott is 33. Bonus hour is next. On behalf of our producer today, the finest man in these United States, the great Sam Stevie the 3rd. My good friend and co-host, Dana Wright. My name is Scott Parks. God willing, back tomorrow 2 o'clock, have a great night. Be safe, be well, and be good to one another. Good night. Bye. Thanks for listening to the Dana and Parks podcast. Remember, you can catch us online anytime at kmbz.com.
