Hours and I hope you're able to spend that amount of time with me I say may because Andrea remains under the weather she should be right as rain by tomorrow she sends her regards I was in constant I tell you constant communication with Miss Lindon Berg over the last 20 hours or so and I happen to know that she will be fired this is not any sort of fatal flu or a fatal sickness thank God Andrea will be Ok simply not able to answer the bell this morning and you know obviously we want to make sure that she gets she gets well so are we wish Andrea the best and she'll be back tomorrow morning bright and early that means you and I get to spend some time together on the telephones 545-9950 locally 545-9950 our toll free line is yet to protest at a town hall meeting 84445599508444559950 are telephone numbers over the course of the morning you might see calls to utilize those telephone numbers I'll try to be nice to you. You know I was made aware yesterday that well I'm actually I already knew this when Andrea is away we started our Radio Partnership in May of last year May 24th to be precise was our 1st day on Talk 995 and so many of you come to the party new every day I know many of you have been here for the entire time some of you were with Andrea prior to me were with me prior to Andre and we appreciate all of you as you come together not just on our show but on the radio station 13 hours of live and I will talk you know believe it or not there are some of you that listen to Richard Nixon there in the middle of the day I know hard to believe most of you all of you listen in the afternoons to Leeland live by the way happy birthday Lynn forgot to say that yesterday Leland turning the big 50 yesterday and choosing not to spend it on the airwaves way and then I understand that I think late and was telling me he was going to spend some time up in north Alabama or just driving around north country on a it was also he and his 7th anniversary yesterday Scott Beason filling in capably yesterday and I appreciate that too so anyway and then the ride home so it's 13 hours of live in local talk and we appreciate that but back to the genesis of the show so I know we're not I don't know if you're aware of this Austin Austin Faulkner by the way aka papa Smoot running the control screening or telephone calls capably producing the show and if you're aware of this when Ana is not here I get 2 reactions because everyone tells me that and it's true actually I'm meaner when Lindenberg not here I'm more gruff and crass and demeaning and Curt to the callers to this show and to the issues that we are tackling and I know that. Some in the audience can't don't like it they want to be back but they want her influence they want her presence and trust me I do 2 others love it other day I mean so there's a split there's some that like the main Matt and he's like the Incredible Hulk he comes out when when he came and went on He's not here he comes out so it's something some folks love this and somebody for some folks hate it I don't know what the people who hate it are saying because you just said the nicest thing I think you've ever said to me I'm capable of running the board well so far I mean the mornings Hurley is only 4 minutes into the shadows of general there's been a hiccup by this there's plenty of time for you to screw up by by faith in you that you'll screw up 345 times before this break is done but for this segment stuff you can always leave out 2 states when naming the 50 by the way speaking of Papa Smoot and I got to tell you it's an odd thing when you've got a producer running your show it's a weird thing when you walk into the producer's sweet and you tell him that he has to pull his own birthday song. That he would make it to be no no this. Last and started working for this for this radio station when he was 14 years old now pull that music back up on the House and . 18 years old is that right I wish. Someone the money he's a dad he's got a home he's got a wife he's going to. Is the dog there yet often the rain has put me on finishing I say I understand that Anyway Happy Birthday bunny how you how you celebrate that I'm going over to dinner with my parents. Here's the I thought about getting it and this is that start got to me it got stuck here that I'm being sincere when I tell you this I was out and about running a few errands. There's a side story to that that I'll relate to in a minute because it's the juxtaposition between me on Sunday afternoon and me yesterday anyway I'm running errands and I thought maybe I should get Faulkner something you are 242626 yeah man you don't look at day over 24 when I started working here at 26 years of age it's time to learn some stark realities and those realities are that everyone in your circle of friends doesn't get you crap for your birthday so I learned that a long time ago and who you are right you are now officially I mean you have a house you're building a fence you've got the dog you've got the wife of course you've got a little baby Smoot you are a g.a.m. Officially congratulate yourself Austin you are a. You guys know what it is. And as again you don't get you don't get birthday presents willy nilly from random people anymore it's just it's the way that it works Oh happy birthday you get that 26 years of age Congratulations you you made it another year stead of video games you get power tools you meant but I was told this and I will offer this sage wisdom in all seriousness it's not the day that matters it's the growth over the course of the year and you've grown so much this year I mean mostly in the midsection Well thank you well but marriage will do that to you as well all right 545 enough of that smote 54599554599508444559950 So for those of you who like me meaner I'll try to do what I can for those of you who like me nice or well I don't know what to tell you on his back tomorrow 6 am Until then you got me mad the bathroom built in Alabama might be a necessary. Might be a necessary Well I don't know if it's necessary or unnecessary it might have a better chance of surviving judicial muster after what the Donald Trump administration did yesterday with regard to resending Barack Obama's weird title 9 provision covering school systems around America with regard to little boys that want to go into the bathroom where the little girls and little girls they want to go into the bathroom with little boys I don't know how to say this other than to say it when it comes to transgender issues one we are talking about a minuscule portion of the population spending this inordinate amount of time when we have other things to talk about discussing this minuscule portion of the population seems a little bit ridiculous to me but you know what I'm sucked in like Al Pacino in Godfather 3 every time I try to get out maybe that can and I feel the need to share some thoughts with you one miniscule portion of the pot if you lay shut I've seen I've seen of bear a variance of percentages and I'll share those with you in a minute but it's very small secondly I understand we have sexual predators in our midst I understand that those sexual predators type try to take advantage of certain things too to benefit themselves in their sexual deep sexually deviant behavior and so they'll try to take advantage of this like they'll try to take advantage of anything else does that mean they go away if there's no transgender bathroom issue no that doesn't mean it goes away that means they try to take advantage of something like this to their benefit to their nasty evil benefit thirdly and I think most importantly I understand that there are individuals. That have their wires crossed in a certain way with regard to their gender I get a little doubt when parents are talking to their are talking about their kids who are 5 years old or 6 years old and telling me definitively I mean you've seen these videos write stories and definitively mama is telling me that their 5 year old was born a boy but is a girl and definitively there's mama telling me typically it's mom mom and tell me that their little girl was born a born a girl with girl parts but they're absolutely a boy that's gives me out I don't know how you can figure that out at that point I think maybe you should wait a little bit I think maybe you should have a little bit of patience but I recognize that there are people whose wires across a little bit and I say that just look if you're transgendered you are abnormal and I'm not trying to say that to be nasty to people I'm saying that because it is a fact Words mean things and if you're transgendered by your definition by your definition you were born in a mistaken gender what you are telling me by telling me that you're transgendered is that you were born with boy parts but you should have but that was a mistake something got crossed up and you should have been a girl now I didn't cause that mistake that you claim happened but to deny that that's what you're arguing I mean I'm just trying to figure out the parameters of the argument if you're claiming that you were born with boy parts and a boy body but in your mind you should have been a girl then you're by definition you're telling me that a mistake happened and I'm not calling you a mistake I'm saying you're saying a mistake happened not me you. And if that's the case do you not expected that you're going to have to live your life a little bit differently than everyone else that we can't make accommodations for every mistake that makes you no less then that makes you no less valued and that makes you no less loved it really doesn't and I'm using the terminology that you have placed in front of me because a lot of I know a lot of my liberal friends go nuts when I call transgendered people mistakes oh my god you have a business that's so big that I doubt I'm using there but I'm using damn parameters and based on your parameters based on what you put in front of me I would argue to you that you're going to have to move a little on this issue you're going to have to make a few accommodations but here's the deal folks it's not them truly transgendered people they represent a minuscule portion of the American populace they deal with it they get it they understand it it's leftist liberal activists it's these skulls a much tree huggers always looking for group think always looking for a group cause socialists that want to pretend that those that disagree with them are bigots and racists and xenophobes and homophobes and transgender. It's those people that are pushing this agenda and it you know if they're not for a number of transgender people and it's mama who is convinced that her 5 year old little ball of female in a male body. Well my little darling angel has to go to the girl's room even though he's a little boy No he doesn't you all figure that out later put him in a little boy's room or part of the teacher's lounge for God's sakes All right got to take a break Mike hang in there you'll be 1st up on the mat and on the show with no under the weather Thursday edition I'd love to hear what you think about this I'll tell you what Donald Trump did and he'll be vilified for it but you know what that equates I'm Andrea Lindenberg and I'm here to talk to you about mammograms you don't have to cringe I want to tell you about Camille you women's imaging which is revolutionizing women's health care I say revolutionizing because they that's the ladies who own and run Kamil you women's imaging want to make your visit a pleasant one and yes it's possible Dr Monica Taria the creator of the center strives to remove the worry that often comes with mammograms you no longer have to wait anxiously for that phone call or letter because consultations with doctors and test results are given the same day a women's imaging does more than just mammograms they also provide bone density evaluations with the most advanced equipment available to help diagnose osteoporosis so don't put off getting a mammogram any longer you can enjoy a day spa like setting was same day results call 205542820. 54 or 2828 or go to a l.
