Unknown Speaker 17:53

What's my awakening happened while putting people to sleep. Actually, I was working in Vancouver, British Columbia 1981 I was a at the Vancouver General Hospital. I was a resident in anesthesiology. As you can see I've now changed a bit and I find myself on the cardiovascular anesthesia service and day after day I'm putting people to sleep. And I'm watching surgeons operate on arteries in their neck in their heart all over their body. And from their arteries. Their surgeons are pulling out this yellow greasy gunk called atherosclerosis is nasty stuff and stuff will kill you. This stuff will set up formation of blood clots and stop blood flow to your brain your heart will kill you with a stroke or a heart attack. And one day I'm watching the surgeon pull out a particularly slithery, rubbery piece of yellow material out of an artery. And I think to myself, Man, that stuff looks like chicken fat. And a little voice in my head says there's a good reason why it looks like chicken fat into this chicken fat and cow fat and pig fat and fat of every other slowly animals walking past this man's table winning at a fork in his hand. And and this really resonated with me because I was eating out to chicken and my cholesterol was through the roof. And my dad was already showing signs of the clogged arteries. And I knew I was going to be laying on the operating table with that striker. So going out my sternum and I didn't want that I saw those people when they woke up. And so I began getting these flashing lights say you should change what you are eating you should stop by and all that animal flesh through your arteries and then duly registered. But the real clincher came several weeks later, I was having dinner with a friend in a in red Stratton, Vancouver. And actually the seeds of this incident have been planted years ago. There were already literature reports in the medical journals that people could reverse clogged arteries with a plant based diet. This one was published in 1977. Dr. Dean Ornish had already published studies showing that you could reverse this plaque out of your arteries with a plant based diet. And as these were resonating with me, I remembered something had happened 10 years earlier, I, when I was a fourth year medical student, I would spend my my Saturday nights in the trauma unit at Battle Cook County Hospital in Chicago. And every Saturday night, I would see the worst of what human beings inflicted upon each other. I saw the shotgun blast and the machete chops. And by Sunday morning, I would walk out of that trauma unit shaking with what I had seen humans do to each other. And I knew I couldn't get rid of all the violence in the world, but at least I could try and get the violence out of my own life. So I started making a serious study of living a life of non violence. And I read the words of Gandhi and the Indian saints, about living a life of Ahimsa of non violence. And so one evening in restaurant in Vancouver, I am pontificating to a friend about living a life of non violence, but I was doing so while polishing off a 14 ounce porterhouse steak. And he looked at me with great compassion, and says it's all very nice, Michael. But if you want to really get the violence out of your life, you might want to start with that piece of animal muscle on your plate. Because in satisfying your desire for the taste of the meat in your mouth, you are paying for the death of the animal and for the next one in line at the slaughterhouse.

Unknown Speaker 22:01

Well, when he said that all the old rationalizations jumped into my head well that's what they raised them for. The animals dead already all of those came up, but before the words could pass my lips, that little voice in my head said, you know, right. Might. I've done a lot of my growing up on my uncle's dairy farm in Wisconsin, I saw the old dairy cows who weren't being milked shot in the head i I chopped the heads off chickens, I'd seen calves taken away from their mothers to keep that milk fluence my uncle good sell the note, I knew the cruelty and the violence that were inherent in all animal flesh products on meat, old dairy products. And when I went up to pay for the steak dinner, I felt complicit in a violent act of violent crime. And, and at that point, I knew that my days of eating meat and dairy products for over if I was going to be a man of integrity, I could no longer deny the fact that in paying for this meat, I'm actually paying for unspeakable cruelty to be delivered upon these innocent animals and I could not deny my complicity in that act. And so I adopted a plant based diet. It wasn't a big sacrifice had oatmeal and fruit in the morning with some rice milk on it. lunches and dinners, big colorful salads, hearty vegetable soups, Chai, oriental stir fries, Indian curries, big plate steamed green, yellow vegetables, to colorful food for dessert. It was a joyous way of eating still is no calorie counting, no portion control, just eat we got to get full and my body loved it. Within within 10 weeks at 20 pounds spirit tire fat melted around my waist. My high cholesterol sank to normal my elevated blood pressure went to normal and I felt great waking up in a nice lean light body every day. And at that point, I realized I was six months away from finishing my residency but as much as I loved anesthesia, I knew I didn't want to be an anesthesiologist and spend all my time putting people to sleep literally. What I really wanted to do was go back to general practice and help them wake up because I left general practice as a retreat. Because I couldn't handle I couldn't face my patients like Ken lovely man, funny guy. I really love Ken but his body was a slow motion train wreck. 60 pounds past obese on to medications for blood pressure on insulin and metformin for his diabetes. His lipids are over the moon. He hasn't had an erection for years because his arteries are so clogged up. And every time I saw Ken and all his You know, his wife, Karen is the mirror image of him. And on this morning, doctors all over North America and Australia, New Zealand, UK, everybody's got a waiting room full of Ken's because this is who we become in recent decades. And I would feel like a fraud. Every time I interact with Ken, I didn't know what to tell him, you got to lose some weight can eat a little less, you know, to walk a little bit more. And I fiddled with his insulin dosage. And as I was, as he was leaving the office, I would mumble under my breath. And please don't have your stroke when I'm on a call. And this was the kind of medicine I was practicing. And like so many doctors are practicing. And it's so disheartening, because we know we're really not helping and we're just presiding over the slow motion demise of these patients. Well, after my nutritional revelation, I knew what to tell these patients. Because Ken and all the diseases they bring to us, the obesity and the diabetes and high blood pressure and all the inflammatory diseases. We're told that these are chronic diseases, you can't get rid of them, you manage them. And doctors have become disease managers and we manage high blood pressure, we manage diabetes. I don't know of any doctor who filled out his medical school application and said my burning desire in life is to write prescriptions and manage chronic disease. We went into medicine to relieve suffering. And to cure these diseases. And every one of these diseases is curable every single one of them.

Unknown Speaker 26:41

I've every doctor who practices lifestyle medicine has a stable full of patients who used to have diabetes who used to be obese, we used to have asthma, all these diseases go away. But if you talk to the learned professors, or you open up the medical textbooks to find the cause of these diseases, you're going to run into two words that stop all further thought etiology. Unknown. We don't know what causes these diseases. There's some molecular mismatch on some genetic issue here. We're working on it as soon as the smart Doc's in the labs figure out how to make amazing silan we'll get it to a year and you can give it to your patients for $1,000 a pill, but till then you just keep describing your statins and your stance and and don't get too depressed. And more and more doctors are getting depressed and leaving medicine. Etiology unknown nonsense. That's the food what people are eating these days, people reading anywhere near the standard Western diet and yeah, they use in the morning and lunches and dinners have burgers and fried chicken and buffalo wings and peaches, etc. That is the cause of the clogged arteries, obesity, diabetes, etc. Every meal sends a tie of heavy saturated fats free radical containing oils, problematic proteins, concentrated sugars, this injures us on every level. And if you decide, you choose to put a piece of meat in the middle of every meal, and that's how most Westerners eating where's my protein got to meet with every meal. If you try choose to eat in that manner, you are choosing to add a particularly toxic brew of molecules into your bloodstream. Hour after hour, I'll just go over the first four of these very active cooking meat creates trillions of free radical ions in these rip electrons off of your DNA, your cell membranes, very destructive molecules, new 5g See this is a cyanuric acid that only animals make and it sets off inflammatory reactions throughout the bodies and the meat eaters are eating this stuff, two, three times a day endotoxin This is from the bacteria in the slaughterhouse that coat all the meat. They break apart their cell walls forms this endotoxin molecule that makes your blood clot slows your heart sets off allergic reactions. TMA Oh trimethylamine oxide. This stuff forces cholesterol into your artery walls, and it's made from the bacteria in your gut that are spawned by eating meats and eggs. We are not homo carnivorous, we are not meat eating eight but when we try and eat like that, we spawn microbes that turn on us and I'm afraid our friends and patients eating in the Paleo style you're going to learn this one the hard way. Even if you are taking the skin off the chicken and eating wild caught salmon, you are still putting these molecules through your bloodstream hour after hour, day after day, month after month, year after year and it has effects. We now know that food brings in a lot more than fats, carbohydrates and protein, our food is chemically alive. Within minutes, be the anything molecules in our food or washing through every cell in your body where your DNA lies unfolded. And the food molecules want to see your cells and they play your DNA like a piano. And they turn genes on, they turn genes off, they induce enzymes, they shut enzymes down. Every meal changes us on a genetic molecular level. In this digital age, we can't be shocked to realize that food brings in not only nutrients, it brings in information, the science is called nutrigenomics. It's how your food turns your genes on and off. And we can't pretend this is not happening. This is where inflammation starts. This is where cancer starts. This is where immunity resides. This is where healing begins. If we turn on the right genes with our food, people blame their genetic draw, my dad had a heart attack at age 56, I was going to get one too yeah, if you run the same food through your tissue is going to create the same diseases. But in one sentence, to free you from the idea that you're genetically predetermined to get these diseases, your genes may load the gun, but your diet, your lifestyle, pull the trigger, whether that disease actually manifest in your body depends upon the molecules you're flowing through your tissues day after day.

Unknown Speaker 31:36

You don't have to be a geneticist to understand that the genes that are going to be turned by turned on by this fuel mixture are going to be fundamentally qualitatively different than the genes turned on by this fuel mixture. And and the salad is symbolic of all the world of plant based foods, all the green, yellow vegetables, no food, etc. When you eat food like this, then our after our tides have these wonderful phytonutrient molecules washed through yourselves. And they are stabilizing. They are antioxidants, they quench free radicals, they promote tissue regeneration, they give the chemical message to your tissues shut down, everything's okay. Because the for doctors to practice medicine without appreciating what the patient's died is really doing to them, puts the doctrine in position like the blind men and the elephant, who were group of blind men grab different parts of the elephant each has a different part of the same elephant. But nobody has an idea what the whole elephant really is. Well, that's the problem with modern medicine. All these specialists are in their cubicles looking at the body from all their given viewpoints. And they're trying to figure out the molecular mechanisms, when the reality is that it's what our patients are eating, the Western diets become so toxic, that these molecules bubble up through all the organ systems. And the internist sees the high blood pressure. And the endocrinologist sees the type two diabetes and the desire to see is the sore joints and the rheumatologist sees the autoimmune diseases and the dermatologist sees the psoriasis and the gastroenterologist sees the Colitis and Crohn's disease. They're all looking at the same disease is what our patients are eating. It's the food, it's the food, it's the food and we can't pretend it's not. But when's the last time you went to a doctor and the doctor says, Take me through your eating day. What do you have breakfast, lunch and dinner? I'm really interested in your diet. Anybody have a doctor to ask you that? Why not? That's the real issue. Because if a patient goes on a whole food plant based diet, and we at least owe them the information, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days of their fuel mix, the changes are spectacular. The obesity starts to melt away, the arteries open up the high blood pressure goes down, the joints stop hurting the skin clears up the lung stuff, wheezing, the bowels start working. And people turn into normal healthy people that don't have diabetes that don't have aches and pains and they don't need medications and pills and procedure. You just see them at the health food store and the bike path which is really just where I want to see them. And medicine gets fun again, these fearsome diseases that you're told never go away and that food has nothing to do with them you find Absolutely. Food has everything to do with these conditions and they get better as the diet gets better, including the the artery disease, the plaques that are in this artery, a whole food plant based diet melts away. How much longer can doctors pretend that food has nothing to do with these diseases in is unfair and unethical to withhold this information from our patients. In fact, we are instructed by the Medical Association to give our patients this relevant knowledge. medicine becomes fun again, when that happens, it certainly happened to my patient can. The body thrives on a whole food plant based diet and served as the earth because the reality is that our flesh based diet the industrial production of animal flesh is the driving force behind every one of the major environmental destructive forces we face today. This is why the forests have been cut down to make grazing land and cropland for beef. This is where the water is going. This is what is polluting the water and 70 billion animals raised for slaughter every year all breeding out come dioxide and belting out methane.

Unknown Speaker 35:48

And our our thirst for flesh or hunger for flesh is really what's driving so much of the destruction we're seeing. I urge people to go to the website completely unaware and educate yourself about how our meat consumption is really driving these this poor bear onto this melting iceberg and strip mine in the ocean is not a help. But if we change our diet, we will need so much land less to feed everyone with a plant based diet that the forest will come back the soils will stabilize, the water will get pure. This Earth will heal and the chances for a Livable Future for our kids will increase. I urge everyone to go to pcrm.com.org Educate yourself and especially the physicians, there's lots of good CMU information there. Check out videos like Forks Over Knives eating you alive and what the health doctors all over the world are waking up check out the plan trician project you'll find there are 1000s of plant based doctors now all talking to each other is a new era of plant based medicine is going I'm doing what I can and going to round to medical schools and talking to first second and third year medical students about and giving them the lecture I wish someone had given me when I was a first year medical students saying it's what your patients are eating, ask them about your diet, you can treat these people who if we evolve our diet, as individuals, we will get healthier as a species, we will heal this planet, and the future will get better for all of us. So I want the public to wake up to the power that they have available to them in a plant based diet. I want my medical colleagues to wake up and see the food that our patients are eating are key in the causation and to cure these diseases. And to for all of us to be aware of the bright future that they plan plant based IRAs or plant based diet offers all of us. I'm Dr. Michael clapper. What's on your plate?

Speaker 1 37:53

Alright, DJ Yeah, the

Unknown Speaker 37:54

most powerful strategy for healing people in the planet. And that was Michael clapper.

Speaker 1 37:59

That's right. I know you're a big mushroom guy. Yeah. So that's really good. That's right. So we've got those are veggies, those are really supposed to be fungus, fungus. So what does that mean compared to a vegetable?

Unknown Speaker 38:13

Hi, I don't know. That's,

Speaker 1 38:16

that's up to the scientist. Somebody can call in and let us know. Well, that's interesting, because you're right. There's something different about how they're categorized.

Unknown Speaker 38:27

Yeah, that's the only thing that I know. That's fungus. That's edible. Yeah.

Speaker 1 38:33

Alright, folks, I hope you enjoyed that. We're trying to bring you interesting information to make you think about what we're doing. And we don't have to listen and do everything that some of these folks are saying. But I believe there's some strategies in life that we should we should tune into. And there's a lot of data on what this guy was just talking about. And, you know, if you're suffering from inflammation, if you're suffering from asthma, if you're suffering from different allergies, you might want to look at your diet and see what you can change in your diet. And sometimes even trying it for multiple weeks can change different diseases that you may have. So, but you know, it's a matter of choice. Everything is and we're trying to bring you interesting information, give us a call to 48557 3300 We're going to go to a song right now, and we will be back

All right welcome back What do we got DJ yeah

Speaker 1 1:05:05

Good, good question. You know, I think sometimes

Unknown Speaker 1:05:09

DJ for planes Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. I haven't heard that one in such a long time. He's got an eye loves of music, you know the from the 1940s because they, they had love songs that they would express feelings that you couldn't do yourself right. And I wanted to thank him for the two Frankie Yankovic things, I'm going to have to dig out my friends.

Unknown Speaker 1:05:36

I know you'd like those.

Unknown Speaker 1:05:38

I'm doing a lot of virtual dancing. Oh, right. I can't get my characters off the floor all that much. But I'm doing it. In my head. Anyway, I was thinking about it brought back an old friend from college days, who was a fantastic Polka dancer, you know, instead of just the back and forth, back and forth. He had these little skips and jumps and things that were that he was trying to teach me. And I could never get the rhythm of the whole thing going. But I was doing it in my head.

Speaker 1 1:06:12

He was doing like a double A double step in between, right? Oh, man, that sounds pretty

Unknown Speaker 1:06:18

cool. Love to watch those guys who knew how to do the real polka? You know that? Yeah. And you got the whole feeling from

Speaker 1 1:06:25

I mean, in Detroit. I mean, we were lucky that we had a lot of Polka around us, you know, with Hamtramck. And there's a lot of a lot of Polish influence here in this city.

Unknown Speaker 1:06:36

Yeah. And it's kind of nice to find out the different kinds of dances and things from different countries and what not to because we were a real melting pot of all sorts of nationalities in this whole area, right?

Speaker 1 1:06:51

And it's instilled today, you know, you feel that vibration from the past through the food that we eat, through this music through the conversation that you're talking about. What were some places that you would check that

Unknown Speaker 1:07:04

Polka, but I just can't get my feet to go up and down like they used to?

Speaker 1 1:07:10

Well, as much as you can, you know, I mean, where would you use to go to see polka? Peggy, where would you? Where would they know

Unknown Speaker 1:07:18

this was in college and just go to certain places that I say no, we're not even around anymore, right?

Speaker 1 1:07:25

I know, there's a few places like some, some places in Hamtramck that are kind of like, you know, bars slash halls kind of thing, you know, right. And then there's a really that the, the Rathskeller which is over on jhana, which is a German place, but, you know, talking about different places that you know, bring out that culture that has come here a long time ago, this

Unknown Speaker 1:07:51

fellow who was a dancer, I think he was German extraction to oh, I've been to that reskill or in a movie theater. That was a just a block away from it for some of the old movies and whatnot.

Speaker 1 1:08:04

Oh, really? So you know that? Even in there that that restaurant? I tell ya, I walked in there went to the basement, you know, all the woodworking and everything in there and the way that it's all set up. It's amazing jewel. That's, that's in our city that really I think a lot of people don't know about. Yeah, same thing with some other Polish places that are are here. And then you know, we've got a lot of Italian influence here in our city and great Italian restaurants. Great Italian music, too, you know, all the

Unknown Speaker 1:08:36

need to stay open. That's the problem. Yes. See? Yes.

Speaker 1 1:08:40

So did you make the chicken pot pie recipe that you gave us recently?

Unknown Speaker 1:08:47

Um, I made it a long time ago. But I always enjoyed it. Because you know what the sausage in and I was feeling guilty when you played that other record with back to plant foods and not

Unknown Speaker 1:09:00

Oh, eating butter? Oh.

Speaker 1 1:09:04

Well, you know, I always think, you know, life is about moderation. You know, in my opinion, you can have a little everything, you know what I mean? But you got to be smart about your health. And I think you know, as our generation now, you know, people that are in their 30s 40s and 50s that are, you know, starting families, they've got to think about these things because the food isn't the food that you grew up with. Peggy you know what I mean? The food now is got a lot of junk in it.

Unknown Speaker 1:09:35

I've survived long enough with eating all the wrong stuff, but

Speaker 1 1:09:39

well, but it was healthy. I mean, I think it was healthier back then. Like there wasn't as many chemicals in the food and all that other stuff. And the stuff in the food today. We got to really be careful you know, all the chemicals and

Unknown Speaker 1:09:52

everything. It's a lot of the additives. That's a problem

Speaker 1 1:09:55

to exactly when you're cooking at home like you do. You know what you're putting in It's all not not. They're not ingredients for preservation

Unknown Speaker 1:10:04

it in with a guilty conscience sometimes to put it in there. Oh, look,

Speaker 1 1:10:09

I like my eggs. I like my butter. You know, these are things. I love these things.

Unknown Speaker 1:10:15

I've had an egg every day of my life. I think I'm surviving that right? I agree with you to complain to my mother, everybody else gets to eat cereal. Why do I have to have this every day? You can have cereal. So the next day, she had a bowl of oatmeal for me there and there was the egg sitting smiling at me right besides just in case, right?

Speaker 1 1:10:42

You had a smart mama, that's for sure.

Unknown Speaker 1:10:44

Anyway, I used to enjoy all the old songs from the 1940s and 50s. Because they, they always had a message. In fact, I think most of the ones my age and maybe a little bit younger used to have, you know, when they were going with some fellow, they would have one particular song, which was their song Oh, and I had one when I was with my husband and I met him in Scotland again. And they were playing this one song. When we were eating, we went to a fish and chips store. And he left me for a few minutes and came back with a bottle of wine down the street. Have it like a romantic dinner or something like that, and a little tiny fish and chip shop

Speaker 1 1:11:30

what a guy this guy was a romantic your husband.

Unknown Speaker 1:11:33

And then they were playing this song that was you know, I would be leaving him to come back to this country before we were married. And and we had our song because they were playing that in the restaurant. And I used to say every once in a while. What was our song? I can't remember the name of it. He says, Well, he says I guess you'll never know. And of course you will never know. The songs.

Speaker 1 1:12:05

You'll never know was the song. Oh, that's so good. What was your husband's name?

Unknown Speaker 1:12:12

His name his name. Column, C L L u m?

Speaker 1 1:12:16

That's a good Scottish name, isn't it? Yeah. Column column.

Unknown Speaker 1:12:20

And they'll always come back I guess.

Speaker 1 1:12:26

Wow, that's really great story. Peggy I love that he

Unknown Speaker 1:12:28

was he was a great guy. I had a crush on him the year that I went to school. Over there. I went for a year there. And it was an experience that I would not forget, I was not too thrilled about going because there was no central heating. No water in the house. You know, it was back to primitive times, it seems. But I was there for a whole year and I met my husband to be while I was going to school there. And then I looked someone told me to look him up. After college when I went back again, for a visit him then it all blossom to back. So you know you wait for certain things, and they're the right thing waiting for you.

Speaker 1 1:13:14

Yeah, I mean, those are stories. I feel like a lot of the younger people can can think about, you know, when you and the you know, the what do you think is the difference? Peggy between the way people approach relationships today compared to how you approach the relationship back then I

Unknown Speaker 1:13:32

don't know. Well, the thing is, you just have to have a personal contact with them. Instead of you know, meeting someone on the computer, you get to really look into each other's eyes. And you can I think you kind of can size a person up a little bit better, you know, when you see them? Absolutely.

Speaker 1 1:13:50

And the feeling is there. That's that's you don't get through a computer, you know, obviously, right? The interaction amongst people. And it's been tough now Peggy because of all of this, you know, lockdown and everything What a crazy world you know, people can't meet people and interact very

Unknown Speaker 1:14:09

discouraging. And I feel so very sorry for the young kids in school that are being taught some of the wrong wrong things at a very early age. And they don't have a chance to interact with each other. And that's, you know, like when you get to high school and you can't get to meet people and interact with them. That's that's a very big loss in their life.

Speaker 1 1:14:33

Absolutely. Because we learn from that. We learn from people, we do interactions, social interactions.

Unknown Speaker 1:14:41

I've been I've been having a very lucky life. I had a lot of wonderful friends from the radio station. We keep in touch with each other still and I've had wonderful neighbors growing up and good friends kept in touch with for a while and

Speaker 1 1:14:59

what part of the city Did you grew up in?

Unknown Speaker 1:15:03

was in Detroit Northwest district Northwest district? Okay, Cooley High School? I think it's one of the only schools have it's such a beautiful school, they haven't torn it down. Yeah, I think someone's trying to buy it and turn it into apartments and stores or something like that?

Speaker 1 1:15:20

Well, there's a lot of educational buildings in Detroit that are just sitting there, you know, and, and something should be done with them, instead of being torn down, you know, a lot of crying,

Unknown Speaker 1:15:33

a lot of a lot of wonderful history that should still be preserved. And I was jumping for joy when they accept the train station, because everyone was talking about tearing it down. I thought, what a beautiful building so many memories in that place. And I'm glad to see that it needs to be taken on a new life of its own.

Speaker 1 1:15:54

Me too, you know, I felt the same, you know, it was on the verge of is it going to be knocked down? I hope not. It's such an integral part of what this city you know, how it kind of blossomed, you know, that train station,

Unknown Speaker 1:16:07

the whole area has become very valuable property nowadays

Speaker 1 1:16:12

to all you can't touch it around there now like that. So it's great to see that, you know, I mean, we're obviously, like,

Unknown Speaker 1:16:21

it was a simpler life growing up, because I grew up in Cleveland, where I was born, and you know, we'd have an old barrel or something like that. And we'd, one person would go in it and they roll in one other vacant lots. And we just, you know, we get an old an old refrigerator or something like that, that was delivered to the house, and you'd keep the big box thing you play around and that

Speaker 1 1:16:49

you know, the house or become

Unknown Speaker 1:16:50

a tank or whatever you wanted it to be. Yeah,

Speaker 1 1:16:53

I mean, I feel like we are at the stage of, we've got to get our big kids, our kids back outside and off of the digital products. And the adults too. You know, you get off your mobile phone. And in in be present.

Unknown Speaker 1:17:11

I don't even own a cell phone. So I am telling you, I'm a dinosaur.

Speaker 1 1:17:15

Well, we bad mark, you're smart. I think you're smart at what you're doing. Because you know, when you're in touch with the real things, this is what I think the youth is trying to get back to you know, we've had a resurgence of vinyl. Right? And even my, my little daughter at seven she really wants likes that vinyl, she wants to see it rotating, you know, and she likes the the record on?

Unknown Speaker 1:17:42

Well, I've got Frankie Yankovic, I couldn't go right to him, right.

Speaker 1 1:17:47

I love it do that today.

Unknown Speaker 1:17:51

It's Japanese music for my neighbors. So I've got just about everything. You could imagine how many records you think you got? Must be about 300 are somehow that's a great only get them for 50 cents or $1? Or something at the house sale. So that used to go to every week? Yeah. Do you have any thing with paperbacks? You know, and it's all of these. You know, when I'm by myself, I have somebody coming in, you know, just to see me through the day. And just to make sure I'm still hopping around. Yes, that's good. I can either play with old records, or else I can read the books or else I do my genealogy charts. And I keep in touch with Scotland. And she says, The one who's in charge says, can't believe the stuff you still recall that people have totally forgotten about. So they're taking down all this information that I still retain in this crazy brain of mine?

Speaker 1 1:18:49

Well, you know, I think everything that you're doing the reading of the books, the music, you know, and the recipes and the

Unknown Speaker 1:18:59

dancing, if I can hop I guess, hold on to the back of a chair to get a pie.

Speaker 1 1:19:04

Yes. Yes. All these things I, from what I understand, especially music and reading, really keep your mind tuned up. You know, so do i recommend that? I do one and

Unknown Speaker 1:19:17

you have to have wonderful people in your life. You've got to keep in touch with people because the friends that you have are very, very precious. Yeah. And that's, that's one thing you should keep.

Speaker 1 1:19:30

You know, you don't realize you don't sometimes realize that till they might not be around. Yeah. And

Hi, Dan. CO Well, you know, you're talking about dawn. Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, it was it's mentioned 30 times in the Bible. 30 times.

Unknown Speaker 1:26:15

Yeah. That's the dawn. Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 1 1:26:17

Greg, tell us. How long are you a longtime listener of the show?

Unknown Speaker 1:26:23

Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 1:26:25

Oh, wow. So. So have you read the Bible completely? Then? I'm assuming?

Unknown Speaker 1:26:31

Well, I'm studying it as much as I can.

Speaker 1 1:26:35

Ah, oh, good. Good. You know, I love that you brought that up, Greg, because what's interesting, and what's happening to that word Macedonia, in the a lot of the propaganda is trying to take that word out of the Bible and put in the word Greek instead of Macedonian. So, I don't know, I think some of the Bibles have are have they've, they've changed it already. So like, it's really interesting, what's happening, how people can change history even. I'm so glad you brought that up.

Unknown Speaker 1:27:17

Why would they do that?

Speaker 1 1:27:18

Well, over in, in Europe right now, there is a, you know, a big debate about the Macedonia name, the Macedonian culture, the Macedonian region, which is split up into three countries, Greece, Bulgaria, and Macedonia. So back in the day, it was all one country. And then they cut it all up and, and did some bad things to the people. And so politics, you know, politics, unfortunately. But I really love that you brought that up, Greg, you know, 30 times in the Bible. I don't know if there's a lot of other countries that are mentioned 30 times in the Bible.

Unknown Speaker 1:28:07

I don't know. But I know, I know. Oil is mentioned 180 times, oil and oil, and 60 of them are olive oil.

Speaker 1 1:28:18

Okay. Wow, that's interesting information. I bet you other cities and other places like our prime mentioned a lot as well. Like, maybe, you know, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, you know, different cities may be in the region there. Yeah. Interesting. This is so good.

Unknown Speaker 1:28:43

It's kind of interesting, you know? Yeah, Bible.

Speaker 1 1:28:47

Oh, yeah. Hey, deep. I gotta love

Unknown Speaker 1:28:50

Danko. Sure. I'm going on track train ride. Okay. And I was just, I was just wondering if anybody has good experiences or bad experiences on the Amtrak train?

Speaker 1 1:29:04

Oh, great question. Where are you going to Texas, Texas. Oh, that's a long ride. Wow. How many hours will that be?

Unknown Speaker 1:29:17

19 I

Speaker 1 1:29:17

think 19 hours. Boy, you know, I would love to take a ride on the Amtrak all the way across the country. I've heard that's a beautiful, beautiful ride. I have personally taken the Amtrak short rides to Chicago, you know, from Toledo to Chicago and different places like that and Detroit to Chicago, but I've had I've had decent experiences in those short runs, but I've never taken the long long run like you're gonna take Do you have a sleeping cab?

Unknown Speaker 1:29:49

Yeah, we got a sleeping cat. And then we're gonna eat our meals right on the train.

Speaker 1 1:29:54

Ah, that's gonna be great. That's, you know, because when you think about it, if you were contemplating driving or the train or flying? You know, I love the idea of the train, you know, you're going to get there in 19 hours, which you're going to spend the whole day getting to Texas no matter what you do, either. You know what I mean? Either you're getting in your car, you're gonna drive or you're gonna fly, and it's still gonna take you hours to get to the airport hours to check in hours to get back. You know, it's still gonna take you some hours to get there. What made you decide to go with the train?

Unknown Speaker 1:30:33

Well, we were gonna go a couple years ago, but this pandemic came. Yeah. And we haven't. It's been a couple years now. We're waiting to take the trip. But you're pandemics. They won't run. They won't run the Texas.

Speaker 1 1:30:51

I see. I see. So you've been you've been planning this for a few years to get down there. Yeah. I'm glad. When are you going? When are you going?
