I thought we already did die, you know. science and you know, sheet in the Arctic, all of the gobbledygook and garbage, which is typically the case when we eat it now. Should everybody close their refrigerators now? Yeah, all of my global alarm. That's not so nice and strange. Well, well, happy camper one for the Fruit Loops and of course told us for the seventies, which... Was even the subject of all of the underground comics guys you probably don't remember this but some of you might I'm jogging your memory. It used to be underground books underground comics that were generated Anti-heterosexual they were all queers of $3 bill typically and everything hang do having to with America all gonna die and find our frozen We'll be just like the woolly man. No, yeah, exactly and almost as tasty a frozen 400,000 years or 10,000. Yeah, we'll have vegetation in our mouths. Yeah Well, no, I actually did the, uh, uh, what was it? Pop-Tarts. Probably find out. No, no, no. Pizza. Pizza. I found another human with Pop-Tarts in his mouth. Frozen in the ice with pizza. Yeah, tasty. All things good as I found another. And a Budweiser in the other one. Yeah, the other one is the pizza and everything, you know, is gone. But the stuff they can scrape out of your mouth and chew on and give an idea, you know. We do have a collar, Mark. Anyway, real quick here on this, again, 208-935-0094. Please take the time and donate. We've got this drawing coming up, and there's more than just the radio in there, so we'll let you know. On that note, Joe, Box Roy, so pay attention to your mailbox. Okay. Number one. Yes, sir. Number two, we... jump in there. Alright we have Katie in Texas here. Good morning Katie. Good morning Joe, good morning Mark. I was wondering if you gentlemen would please explain how a person would go about locating a station to broadcast on? To do a program, finding a hole in the frequencies that are out there. Well here's a little trick number one and I love because they are digital. Digital, yeah. Yes. First of all pick your location and then sit here in the car and what you want to do is you can do a scan but the problem with a scan is it's kind of fast. You really won't be able to read it fast enough. So what you do is you go down to the bottom of the dial and you go right click and you might be taking obviously a notepad and you listen to see where there's a hole. Now there are typically holes in the FM frequencies. Hang on there's an easier way to do this. Do you have a computer? Yes. Just type in radio-locator.com. Alright, now you're going to pull up a page and it's going to ask you for your zip code. Okay, so you put in your zip code and then hit the button again and what will happen is it will come back with a screenshot of all the, it will have three different lists, you know, good, bad, and ugly. and it will tell you what frequencies are used and what ones are not used in that area code. And the advantage of that is that again you can test what is there and then use the cards. Ultimately, what you're looking for is you want three frequencies that are consecutive. 97.1, 97.3, 97.5. And the reason you want three of them is you want to pick the one in the middle and that puts there's nothing on the left and nothing to the right, nothing above you, nothing below you and you want the one in the middle if you can create that scenario. In my area here for example I got lots of them because we're out here in the middle of nowhere. So if you look at, just for those of you out there listening if you want to find, if you see if there's any frequencies available in your area just write down radio-locator.com putting your area code and it'll come back and tell you what frequencies are available. Now like I'm saying, use zip code, right? Yeah, use zip code. Zip code, okay. And then ultimately you want three of them, you know, like in a pack, you know, where you go consecutively, one, two, three, that are not being used and you want to take the one in the middle. And that way you're not stepping on anybody's toes interfering with anyone else. And then like Mark is saying, if you want to check that out, just You know, put your radio on that frequency and go out and drive around. Now, if you happen to hear something out there, you know, way out in the distance or something, that doesn't matter. The FCC is telling you this frequency is available in your area. And radio stations, whether people know it or not, they only have a designated area. Now, it might overrun a little bit. There might be something they call reflection. A reflection is a signal that might hit a hillside, bounce off and go someplace else. That's possible. But if it tells you in your area code that this frequency, whatever comes up is available, then it's absolutely open. That's the quickest and best way to find out. That's great. Thank you so much, Mark and Joe. Have a great day. God bless you. Okay, you're welcome. Cool little tool there because That's the way we used to do it until that came along, is go out and ride around, see what frequencies were being used. And of course in the more heavily populated areas, like Chicago, New York or something, you're not really going to find anything because they've all been absorbed in the more heavily populated areas. But for those of you living out in Podunk, South Dakota or out in the middle of Texas or Idaho, Colorado, whatever, It's not going to be quite as cumbersome to get a frequency, but if you're in a major metropolitan area, around the outskirts thereof, you're like Minneapolis, St. Paul, it might be a little more difficult. Okay. So, that was a good question. People are, like we keep saying, it's not really that difficult. You know, we talked about this and we're going to continue to talk about it here in the future. You know, this is one way, something that you can do. to help people start understanding what's going on in this country. Of course, they're going to see a lot of things on mainstream media. Their ideas are going to be twisted as to whether you're in a Sandy Hook situation or what really happened. Imagine how many people are walking around out there today. It doesn't have a clue. They got the, I saw the plane crash into the World Trade Center mentality. They have no idea there's a whole other story out there about what actually took place during 9-1-1. And what's almost amusing is, you know, they keep reinforcing their official story with little stories here and there, you know, it's just, that's the way it works. But there's things that you can see with your own eyes that just doesn't make any sense. And people just don't know that. They do not. So it's up to us to get the real information out there. If nothing else, raise questions. Do you really believe this story? They forgot to tell you this part. And why don't you ask a few questions about that part? Because if you're out there asking questions and they don't want to talk to you, well then you know you're on the right track. Why would they be hesitant or unwilling to answer a question that seems applicable? Hey, how come the front of that plane came out the other side of the building? Or what happened to all the kids at Sandy Hook? Or what happened over here? We have a right to know. The answer is to these questions. Anyway, once again, for those of you who are, uh, were just letting, you know, Katie calls in from Texas, want to know how to find a frequency. You know, to put a station on, just use radio locator, radio-locator.com. All right, back to you, Mark. to us. Alright, you must revisit your subject. 208-935-0094. To the best of my knowledge, folks, we've been doing a fun drive here for a month. I don't want to get too much into this, but based on the phone calls that I got yesterday, apparently somebody else is already halfway down. They're fixing to go the rest of the way down, and some of you may or may not know who I'm talking about, but I'm not going to mention any names. Just to give you an idea, things are going to start happening and things are going to start failing. And I would hate to think that the ground crew, that would be the micro effect, the ground addition for us, supported by those who are all involved, that means all of us, would allow that to happen to the micro effect. So if you will, be the first one to call in this morning anyway, 208-935-0094, make a contribution. or go to the front of our website at the donate button. And by the way, every once in a while somebody has, I don't know if it's in their computer or whatever it is, but the donation button doesn't work. So don't hesitate to just go ahead and call them. We can process it just as fast that way. Or you can snail mail us at PO Box 164, Kamiye, Idaho 83536. And of course I'm Joe McNeil. I got a phone call a couple weeks ago. Somebody said, hey, I was listening to you talk to me. I didn't know what your name was. So I guess I don't give my name out of it. After you've been here a while, you kind of figure everybody knows who you are. But for those new listeners, I'm Joe McNeil and I'm here with Mark Kornke. We're here every morning, Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. Pacific. That's 8 o'clock Eastern Standard Time for a three-hour program. And then of course we have other live programming going on. And are you with me Mark? Yeah, you keep wandering out there, man. I'm gonna have to get a put a leash on your something. Yeah well actually the couple things here real quick with the But look at backup frequencies one of the reasons people would what would you that well just in case? Somebody gets you know decides to throw they're just trying to put a stick the big thing is to be able to concede to the next Immediately kind of up and down the dial that way something in the low band end of the dial They can't follow up something down and they've opened this is something that FM 100 and we're talking about one of the first of the virtually dial up and identify your frequency right there to extreme systems if you're gonna go you know that route because whoever wins this micro FM 100 well line of the radio if you do the Purchasing do purchase the others they are receiving unit. We can hear you'd have a little bitty screwdriver and you're trying to get it down And if that's how it works, yeah, yeah now all you have to do is hit the button useful the way it's set up track down an upright belt sander just let you know for our listener out there for today all the time in radio sounds like we're gonna fight without other w- Right. Be creative and think. Be radio, you know it's like well how much does that car just come- Remember not only do you have the primary frequency not just 101 it's 101. So the big thing is just make it fun. You can of course when you want to walk away the cool thing about the network is if you have an hour of re-saying well do your own thing and have some fun. I think one of the most important things about radio is that we've lost complete I hope I did well. Hell, you've got more computer throw power than NASA has. And it's under every desk or it's sitting in a laptop right now. You know, people are just tossing over the technology. How about buy it? And still have it. The other thing though, like I said, collect. Leave them there. As you were saying, you have to drive or take them and make copies of your library of like, you know, like a, I've got 72 songs on this CD. Well, fantastic. Even when there's inventory on it. At the moment, I think I have about 50 gigs of music. 50 gigs. How many songs that is? A variation of rock and roll, 60 stuff, country, western, country and western. Programs that you think are worth maybe a specific program. Everything that you feel is important in your collection, just put it in that portable hard drive and you can plug it into anything. I'm not sure. I think we might have Don here. Let me check real quick. Is this Sir Don? No, not Don. Okay. No, we got a caller. Call us. Jump in there, please. I didn't have anybody. No, I need to make a donation. Tell us. Oh, okay. Very good. I need one of the girls. Okay. Hang on just a second here, guy. Let's do it this way. I'll go ahead and take care of that. Jump in there. Okay. We can tag team. Look, it's like Big John Wrestling! And then the paw goes through the microphone and the other paw touches and now I can legitimately get out there. As a matter of fact, on that note, speakers don't need too much, but you do want something that another thing to remember is, sounds great here in the studio. Wow, what the hell happened there? Oh, oh, we gotta adjust a few. There's a cable that came undone when I decided to move my keyboard today and I forgot to check. Any number of different things. Like you're gonna do the radio stick standing. Always check to make sure you know where things are. And mark them. This is another thing. One of the things that I've been doing when I talk about saving cables, f***ing cables and the connect cables, you can get, almost every couple of times, but you can get bargained. If you had to go and buy them, it's one thing. But if I patient and I watch where they're getting, because I have, if I have a box and it has a yellow corking cable, I know that that connecting cable that I'm looking for is yellow at the other end. It reduces the amount of time and confusion for another reason. Maybe I'm not the one changing them. They say, hey, hell, real quick. Unplug yellow. By the way, cable. Now this is also true in the outside. You always see this in the movies. I don't know which one it is. All the same. How about we think ahead and prevent that from happening. I'll tell you, I'm sure yours looks the same. You know, at the studio here, we've got cables running everywhere. We have like Bell Telephone here. And if you don't label those, and you're having a problem with one of the channels or what have you, you have to know which one you're looking for. How about that one? Which one is? Oh, it's the black one. Well, I thought the other one was black. Yes, it is. Sometimes you can't get it. Well, like RCA cables, for example. Yeah, you can get different, you don't necessarily get different colors, but they do have different ends on them. You have to mark differently, okay? So, but you should take a piece of tape, you know, wrap it around the thing and label the cord as you're building your station because you may have to go back and figure out, you know, where, wherever this problem is or whatever it is, you know, what channel it's on or, or what have you, something might be feeding into the board or, or something along those lines. You have to be able to isolate the problem, is the bottom line. So the cords that you use should be labeled It seems pretty simple when you're putting it all together, but let me tell you what happens. You know, if that happened, how'd it happen to me? It's been so long since you had to do anything because you put it all together, right, and it worked great. And then one day, ten years later, you have to go back and figure something out, and you forgot everything that you did. Because a lot of, you know, you slept since then. A lot of water went on the bridge, however you want to put it. And now you don't know which cable is which, which one goes to the computer, which one goes to the satellite feed, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD player, which one goes to the CD your wiring together, you know, with either taping together or little tie straps or something so it makes sense. And the more organized you have it, the better off you'll be when it comes to maintenance in your radio station. I promise you, we've gone through this a bunch of times and I'm glad, well, we just put a new mixer in here. And because I already had everything labeled, it didn't take long to take one out, put the other one in, and just start plugging everything back in. We knew exactly where everything went. So, just some heads up on things that you'll be facing in the future at some point. These little stations are so easy to put together. Okay? And right now we're down at the bottom of the hour. I think it's break time. If we are it is your problem with the South Park. I will not mention the name. And of course, on Tuesday we'll be in Southern Michigan still. We still don't have any still.

Welcome back folks, we're down here at the bottom of the second hour here on the Morning Angel Report. I'm Joe McNeil here on the Micro Effect Radio Broadcast Network and we have Mark Hornke with us. I was playing around at night, I found this thing, man I got this years ago, I got it stuffed up under the desk here and covered with all kinds of boxes and what have you. I had no idea, there was something I was going to use for making commercials and this kind of stuff. Let me try something here. testing. Okay that's one two, corporate that somehow, I don't know it's just a voice changer, it's all it is. Something you could have some fun with on your local station if you wanted to have some fun. And there's nothing wrong with having fun these days my friends. Everybody's so full of doom and gloom. No laughter going on out there man. Life is good, we just have to get the monkeys off our back if you wanted to look at it that way. We are getting some donations in here this morning. It's going to be very helpful. Let me tell you what I have to accomplish today, my friends. We are about $400 short right now. I'm keeping some monkeys off of our back concerning the satellite feed. So if you can make a contribution today, that would be very helpful. 208-935-0094, 208-935-0094. Make those contributions, my friend. We would love to be here. for 2015. Keep plugging along and we're trying hard and we just need you to try with us. So down here at the bottom of the hour we got 17 degrees here at the studio and it's supposed to be sunny today. We do have snow outside on the ground. High today I think it was like 22 or something like that. So we'll not be using sunscreen, cover-tone or any of those products today. The beach towels will remain in the closet until a better time comes along. And if you try to jump in the river down here at the Clearwater, if you don't get out there far enough, you will bounce off the ice. No fun at all. Anyway, back to you, Mark. This communication is a reminder that we are trying to get as many micro-fms up on the line as we can. It's a way of doing battle. Yeah, anything in between will work. You don't need bullets. You don't need anything. It's information. You're putting up a little station. You know, imagine thousands of these things all across America, the alternative media, okay, that's what we are, the alternative media all across the country. But we're doing it ourselves, you know, without the major conglomerates and corporations and big money. It's, you know, we, the people putting up our own network, friends. That's what this amounts to. You know, yesterday I mentioned, I'm sorry to interrupt you here Mark, but you know, it's don't start pulling together. We're not going to be doing any accomplishing anything. You know yesterday I brought up you know a couple that you know their apartment got broke into. You know these things like this if we all work together it's not a dream. It's not socialization. It's not coming. It's a people doing what needs to be done. That's how I see this. That's how Mark sees it. You know everybody Imagine if we had at least two or three of these in every county all across America. How powerful or effective do you think that mainstream media's propaganda machine would be? They would be getting defeated by the people. And you know, this was the reason why they bought and purchased every radio station, every TV station. There is nothing, they control it all. This is the only way that is taking back your country without firing a bullet. And right now I prefer that. But we do have the bullets ready to go if that's what it turns to. And it's sad that we should sit here. Well, it looks like that's where it's going to go. It looks like it doesn't have to be that way. If we were out there with little micro stations and you know, listening to you, you know, it's not limited to the micro effect. Maybe you have something to say. Or maybe you have some recording CD like Mark was saying earlier stuff piled up in your computer some audio that's worth listening to put it on the air I've got a stack of CDs over here of information I sit here I consider it to be old information but you know I tell you what every once in a while I'll drag it out and I'll put it on the air and I'll get emails man that was a good recording where can I get some it's old stuff but it still applies today It still applies. There's people who don't know anything about the Federal Reserve. They don't know anything about the medical industry. They have no idea how a government should function. Never mind the way it is functioning. They have no idea. And you take these old recordings, put them on the air, and those are the kind of things that wake people up. So radio stations all across the country, little low power small little mom and pop things, you know, maybe it's just a hobby. That's how it started out for me. Just a hobby, a little hobby thing I had going on. Lord, how we suffer now. This is what it had grown into. And for information, for example, if you don't understand, you think it's so complicated, you know, there's Mark, other people, you know, there's people that we've got a few people, Mark Pfizer with Lisa K. Candles. He's all over the country, man. All the time. If there's any problem, he's done it. Stop by and help somebody put together a little radio station or whatever kind of broadcasting. He's done it. And there's people that can help you with that. I can help you with it. So it's not like you're trying to do something on your own. That was the whole point of the National Association of Micro-Broadcasters. And we could all share the information, get it all done on the phone, or in some cases, people went to somebody else's house or another location, and physically helped them get it up. And by doing that, you're starting to reach the people that need to be reached. You know, we can sit here every day and talk to you, the listener, but what about the people that need to be reached? This is the only way that I, unless Mark can come up with something or somebody can call in with a better idea, this is the only way I see to reach America. And we can do it ourselves. We're going to finance our own war in the future. Is there any doubt about that? There's nobody going to be coming by with cases of ammo. Here you go, man, and drop it down into the foxhole you're sitting in. Supplies will be coming in for it. This is the stuff that we are going to be doing. We're financing our own war, and this is part of it. Getting the information out. This is how it gets done. So those of you out there listening, it is Communications Tuesday. If you have any questions, 208-935-0094. call in and ask those questions just like Katie in Texas how do you find the frequency and we can tell you how to do it what to do with hooking up your transmitter you know we've been telling everybody do not turn that transmitter on just so you can see the light without an antenna hooked up do not fire up that transmitter get your antenna and everything all hooked up so that when you flip that switch you're not frying your transmitter and here we go Okay, Bill in Texas. Alright, good morning Bill. Good morning guys. Yes sir, and thank you for your donation sir. No problem, it's off that card I was telling you about. Okay. Since you needed the money, I figured Miles would do it now. Yes sir. You were talking about an FM transmitter. They're not real hard to make, but you could make a J-Pole antenna. Usually people use copper pipe, you know, you could use things. Right. Stuff. What's great about a J-Pole is you You know how you see cars with the magnetic antenna on their hood and they're driving around? Well, that metal of that car says the ground plane. You can't use one of those antennas sitting on a brick on the ground, or you can't. It's not going to roll out of the... Then you get a 300, you can buy an adapter for. And you can hook that up together and it's basically on the net. The reason I called is I've been looking, I haven't been able to find it so Mark might know. I'm looking for just the magnetic bay connected with the You used to be able to buy those and then buy length of the rod and you cut it yourself. Yeah, that's a good question because you know we had a store, the Plain Jane Company, and I'm trying to find it. Unfortunately one of our friends just passed me who was our go-to. He was the guy that knew we were to find to his son. A lot of the sport here in Michigan. Three antennas, they have three bases, three different magnet bases. They're all generic, they were the best price. and they were right here in Michigan over on the west side of Jackson. I can do a follow up on that for you because I bought virtually hundreds of those. But I haven't been able to find them. And it's like a lot of the other stuff in the electronics industry. Doesn't mean it's not there. Gotta find out where the no name went. Because it's totally generic. Nothing fancy. They don't just keep cranking out the same model. Now usually they had about a 15 foot band. You could either buy them with the connector and you specify the connector and that's why they had three. But yeah, I know what you're talking about. It used to be you'd even find them with the truck stuff, but I don't think I've seen them with the truck stuff. Eric, magnetic base, you would hook up and you'd dipole your teeth and do a blot of onion. You'd eat multi-tine from the base, four-tine, five-tine, seven-tine. Inexpensive bank amount, CB antennas that are out there. And you cut the rod to the length you need, long of course, so you can tune it down and sit on almost any radio. Right. You can still buy the, well you can still buy the existing ones that are really the same thing. You've got the They're about, what, maybe 16 inches long, the antenna. And usually, if it's a cheapie one, it has about, oh, I think, what, nine feet of cable. If it's a better one, it's the exact same card. It has like 16 feet on it. I prefer getting the bigger ones because I found you could use the, like, mounties up on vans. I would run the lines completely from the front of the vehicle inside all the way to the back door and run it across up the van. And that works as a phenomenal ground plane. The signal was fantastic out of a duck box. Everybody, oh, Carter, that's really crisp. Well, it's not so much that. It's a cheapy antenna with a whole lot of coax extended. So the signal is really not interrupted and it had a good bounce. Question, I'm going to have to look around. I would try DealXtreme. OK, dealxtreme.com, DX.com? Yeah, I looked and I didn't quite screw there. I have these five radios I'm trying to get antennas for so they can go with these two handhelds and then I know what to do with them. base connector right? There was a barrier. Okay then still might check the truck stops. If you got one of the better older truck stops they have those. Around forever and some of the stuff even still has dust on it. It's not like the new ones where they change hands and names every 15 minutes. We got one down the roads like that. They just change company names again and you know change their products and took the old store out. You want one of the older guys been doing business for a long time. Poor ITV shop. Ian that's been there on the second floor for a while. Jeff that's your best down in Texas you should have a few. There's a truck stop at San Antonio and I mean sorry San Marcus with an A that's all I can remember about it but it's been there time I'll check that out because I got a call. Watch for the old dusty faded car. Yeah just check that out. Those are stock away because it's that one time when somebody's because people pull in like us all the time ago there's that thing I needed right there and I still have mine broken and I need that. that they make everything that they made 10 years ago or 15 or 20 years ago and a lot of guys run equipment for a long time. They like that rig, they'll keep rebuilding it. He's replacing components that are the weathered end and the antenna's out there where it takes a beating. A lot of guys, you know, will run them and then, hey, get busted up, they'll buy another one to replace it. Some planes and all the antenna books, they recommend at wavelength and you can take just almost any kind of wire and you would run wires sort of like in a pattern going out from the center and it's 492 divided by frequency and megahertz to get the wavelength. We recommend at least a quarter wavelength out from the antenna but you know you could use I would say 8, 4 would be minimum and go out that way if you don't have your antenna on a car. That type of antenna is you do the selective ground plane underneath it. That's hooked to ground. Create your own array. That's one of the things that you know most people haven't messed with big FM stations When we used to put in TV transmitters, just use material you put in concrete and put a layer concrete over it area around the antenna and ground that. You could even use fencing material to be single-strands if you have an old piece of fence laying around. Galvanized fence actually is a quick tool so again it bladders zinc-lead coating does a fine job of protecting the long run even if it's on the ground. So even rust, amazingly enough on that note, even rust If you have a high concentration of iron, it really, it actually affects the signal guys. If it rusts and the iron oxide is still there to do the job, when the recognizable material has gone back to the earth. I've seen that in Arizona, or at least northern Arizona. They're all red from the iron oxide. You put up a transmitter on a hill and it gets phenomenal range. Yeah, northern. That's why I've always been fasting. You know, Michigan here, we have high ground, we have massive bodies of water. Think about it. And we've got everything here. And I can't understand why the big boomer is exactly that. A station here could talk to half the planet. And I don't know why they weren't. You know, you see the station through, like, in Pennsylvania, Louisiana, which is a good location, too. Louisiana, the bottom of Louisiana. The Gulf of Mexico works like a big, you know, like a big thing, you know, like cork. everything that goes out signal wise to South America. Which is why the stations were put where they were. And the base of Mississippi, for much of the same reason I was talking about with Michigan, you know, a lot of iron, a lot of metals, you know, that kind of thing. And that's why Red Lion and a lot of the other shortwave stations are there. The old ones were gone now, even in the last 20 years. Your commercial stations were located there for the signal outbound and then they take advantage of the Atlantic and go to Europe. here in Michigan we've got the Great Lakes. If you were to be in the upper part of the state because of height, combined with the water, combined with the natural elements, you know, it should just literally boom, and I'm sure it does. It's just the closest MARS station the military has, well we know what the secret was, they got one over by Escoda, that one we're not supposed to know about. Michigan, there was one that was up at the top of the upper bubble. Another one though that most anybody will talk to if you're listening to Military Shortwave is out of Battle Creek, Michigan, down at the Bough ground. That's low country down there. I've seen a lot of radio stations, so I'll take an old Lime Rock mine down and the Lime Rock and then of course it fills up with water. When I first moved out there to see it, you'd be driving by and hold and there's a tower inside the water with the antenna going up, run the FM transmitter off of the, using the ground of that, and they also have one of the largest, or it used to be, shortwave rebroadcast stations on Lake Okeechobee. And that's a huge length. But I remember seeing the antenna array. I mean, from a distance, actually. We trained down there. You know, the militia that trained down on Lake Okeechobee, there's several good size, several thousand people. The encampments, I actually can remember recall, we were on a night patrol and I wondered about that. Yeah, that's a big short way for you to broadcast. How's Cinerosing? Yeah. Only because, again, the water and electricity guys, as we know, are not the first combination. Don't go near that. It's kind of a lesson you learn somewhere along in your life. Yeah. Oh no, I know what you're saying, Bill. I understand how they do it, but it's just when you think about it, it's like that's a lot of power. If there ever was a failure or a mistake, we all know the alligator toasting that would be going on nearby. Right. Only for a little bit. Hey, we're up here at the top. Bill, could I get you a... Well, I got to get my first call. Thanks, guys. Yeah, call back in. We have to hang up. Call back in. Shelby's having a little problem there. I'm not sure what it is. Okay, well I'll have to call her back. I have to head off my first call this morning. Okay. She has my number, but I'll call you back today. Okay. All right. Thank you for your call, Bill. We are headed to the top, guys. Yes, we are. 089350094, God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run.
