It is 9 o'clock hour here on Wednesday, the 11th of March, 2026.

An interspersed throughout the month of March and maybe I think into a little bit of April

are going to be some very special 9 o'clock hours. I think we're one in.

This is number two. As we continue, there'll be some folks who you've never heard of before

and some folks whom you have met before and some folks who become straight up friends of ours.

And this is the case. Well, listen, you lay down X amount of money to get the co-hosting gig

for Food the Poor. You will be a friend of mine. But I mean in quite the literal sense because

they have graced us with their marvelous personalities and their travels every once in a while.

And now for stories on that. And more, Dan and Lisa Tercley of Oklahoma are with us for

the Food for the Poor. Co-hosting gig. We're going to talk about a bunch of stuff.

Great to see you guys again. You look great. How are you doing?

Doing great. Bless beyond what we deserve.

It is just joy. Lisa, you good? How's everything?

I'm great. Been trying to get rid of the crud.

Yeah, we went to Washington States and boy, that's a, that's a petri dish.

Just waiting to grab you.

Well, and, and, and with, is the, is we talked about this?

Is there a state you guys have not been to?

No, no, no, no, there is not. Tell everybody what your quest is.

What if the goal is not just to put tires on the ground, technically in every state,

but your goal is to do what and everything?

Well, we did it. We, we golfed in all 50 states.

And, we had to complete 18 holes.

Well, no, no, one nine was the middle of it, because some,

well, some, because some courses like the one in Juneau,

well, I only had nine holes.

Re, in a state as big of Alaska, the only guy nine holes?

Yeah, well, it's, yeah, golfing in Alaska is a totally different experience.

I can, it eagles flying around like pigeons and it's a bear walks up.

Well, well, we didn't get to see that. We were hopeful for the

time. Oh my gosh. We did all, we did 23 since we last visited.

No, we did 23 states last in this last year.

In a year?

In a year, yeah. And, and 26 brand new courses.

Have you been at home?

Lost it.

Well, that's what our kids say.

Our kids say they have to call us because they don't know where we are for any

freaking time.

Oh, but what are we talking about?

A good problem to have that.

So at one point, did you turn to her and say, honey,

I've got an idea.

I was probably on your, can I say you were, you're at least 50 years old?

Yeah, um, uh, we were in Hawaii.

So it's last year.

Yeah, and we golfed in Hawaii and, and it was like, you know,

this has been a very difficult state to get out of the way we've golfed in several

already. Let's, let's just, and we also had for a long time wanted to just be in all

50 states.

Well, sure.

So then we just added, let's make sure we have golfed in all 50.

And, and, and then we set off on that.

And I'd tell you what, we have a strong marriage because you have golf is a sport

that'll make you feel so bad about yourself.

And to be doing it with your spouse, you know, to survive that, you know,

there's, there's nothing we don't worry about.

If you can get past this, you guys are rock solid.

Here we are.

So how, how long, so Dan, you, real golfer as a kid?

Well, I'm going to call it that.

Yeah, he's the, he's the chair that ground up when I was a kid.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Chas, I still do.

I was a hacker.

Yeah, I was a hacker.

And at least what about you?

Had you had you been a golfing woman before you met this man?

No, not at all.

So, oh, when did you pick it up?

I don't know, probably 12, 15 years ago.

Yeah, actually a little bit longer than that.

I mean, she would come out with me every once in a while.

And then, actually, we moved, we moved to, uh, uh, to, up in Blanchard, Oklahoma.

And we found a nice country club there.

And she saw that.

And it was just like, you know, well, here we go.

Here we go.

Yeah.

So she really has been very serious like the last 12 years.

And, uh, but probably 20 some years we've been doing it.

So let's, let's tie a bow around this.

Another couple of minutes, because I am fascinated by, and these wonderful people have sent me.

They sent me a wonderful picture at one point.

They're standing at the first tier, the, you know, by the clubhouse or something.

Said, hey, guess where we are.

And I don't know if, and, and you enable, you actually, I don't know if you put this in as an Easter egg for me.

I zoomed in and saw that it was the actual golfer.

Of course, at the University of Maryland in College Park, where you brought me a little ball marker here with a turps logo on there.

That is so cool.

What, what was, okay, let's presume there were challenges to Alaska.

What other states wound up being a little tricky to, to play to get in your at least nine holes in it?

Uh, well, actually, uh, Alaska.

Uh, and then, um, I'm trying to remember one course.

Oh, um, we had to, you know, sometimes you have to be adaptable.

So we made our little, we finished up with a new England swing.

And we had to decide because of time constraints to take one course down the nine holes.

But, um, the hardest for us was, um, Mississippi, getting that one in.

Yeah.

Because it's the weather.

I always seem to catch us with that.

Oh, well, well, all right.

So, so you slot a state, I mean, if you're going to do Mississippi,

do you go ahead and do Alabama?

Do you go ahead and do, or, or, I mean, surely it wasn't 50, 51.

Do you do, I mean, did you, did you do DC?

We did DC.

We did, we did.

I mean, we were, I mean, we were, we were hoping we got our 20th anniversary coming up.

We thought about going to Puerto Rico to get that out of the way.

Just encouraging Virgin Islands and soon to be Greenland.

Don't be in Greenland.

It's surely it's coming.

So how many, this made, this is tough math.

Yeah.

How many trips did it take to log on?

Because if it was presuming that sometimes you would take a trip and do a couple of two or three or four states.

Uh, what do you think of the number of trips?

Five dedicated trips.

Yeah.

Because we had knocked several out before we thought about doing

Okay, gotcha.

And then we did a, a Midwest swing where we went, uh, just basically north, the, uh, Iowa,

and, um, that's an Iolo.

Yeah.

Yeah, Iolo.

Yeah.

I, uh, in Nebraska, north of South Dakota, Michigan, and, and Minnesota.

And that was her favorite place, Minnesota.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, which, you know, it's good to give Minnesota some good PR because what a beautiful state.

Yeah.

Was it in the summer when it was like 80 degrees?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, spectacular.

And it's a, I mean, and that's sort of the, it's sort of, uh, you know, uh, we love

coming to Texas because Texas is like, well, while I was stationed there for a couple of

years in San Antonio, your area, um, but, um, but to me when you come visit Texas, it's

like you're visiting an old friend, but when, when you're traveling in these northern

tier states, these liberal states, because we did our new England swing, it just, it just

feels different, you know, you're different and, and, but it's surprising, though, as we

traveled around and drew, because we did a lot of, we drove our camper for a lot of

that northern swing, um, we just ran the car on the new England swing and, um, yeah, you

just see tons of American flags and the rural areas, you don't see any or, I'm sorry, very,

very little of, of the left, you know, that's like, how does this keep happening when you

see that help, you know, but, um, I was telling Lisa, I feel less secure.

In those states, what I'm traveling, but I did when I was in East Germany.

You know, I mean, Lisa is Germany. You're like, okay, yeah, you're an enemy territory.

Here you are, you know, and, um, and, uh, but anyway, we didn't have any problems.

I was, I was surprised about Boston, how nice a place downtown Boston is.

Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. There are many, many places where they're governed horribly,

that are nonetheless really cool to, I'll be watching to DC itself.

Used to be San Francisco used to be one of our favorite cities.

It was one of those beautiful cities in the world would not possibly go there now.

No. And it's just, yeah, just, I just can't, just, I just absolutely can.

So last thing on this, because I could bug you down for this.

Oh, I don't know this. Uh, having engaged in all these travels,

place that, maybe different answers from both you,

place that surprised you where you go, what, I did, I did not expect this from this trip.

Anything for you? I can, I can go with Fargo North Dakota.

Always, always go with Fargo North Dakota. We were golfing in January.

I don't know. No, no, it was, um, no, oh, it was a, that was a, that was a fall or

spring or fall trip. But remember, we, we got the Fargo and you'll, you'll hit something

when we get to this. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Um, we got the Fargo.

And of course, Northern climate, you don't want to live there because it's so

flipping cold. And, and, and we get there. And Lisa is like, wow, this place is nice.

Not too surprising. But then we got into, we went to a store.

Yeah. And it was absolutely little Mocha D'shoe.

I mean, it's just an absolute invasion takeover. You go to Walmart to try to buy something.

Nobody there can talk to you. Speaking English.

Yeah, if you wanted to find something,

they give you Fargo North Dakota. Yes.

Now, I was so flipping surprise because it was so, it was so pretty there.

I thought, you know what? I might consider having a little vacation up here from time to time.

Now, but then you ran into the, the, you know, indigenous personnel.

And obviously it's America. We welcome all folks. We love all folks,

but you got to assimilate it. You got to, you know, et cetera, et cetera.

Anything else of what? No, that, that's probably the one for me as well.

But, I guess, but as far as suppressing, that surprised you, that would be

so you, so you weren't there in Fargo in the wintertime.

But I would love to know if you know what, what is the coldest round you played?

Well, that was on our, our, our swing out to the east.

I was in though, it was late, late winter or early fall.

Oh, it was actually take it back. We were here in April last year,

March last year, right after we left here, we took off on the trip.

And we went out to try to hit Mississippi. I didn't work,

but we did Georgia, North and South Carolina.

And anyway, the weather turned poor on us.

As we were heading to South Carolina, and your coldest round was in South Carolina.

Yeah, the South Carolina, oh, not take it back.

Yeah, it was actually North Carolina, because it skipped South Carolina.

But we were, it was going to be like 40 mile per hour winds.

Snow, Florida, snow, and but it's like, well, we're on this trip.

We're going to have to, more just make it nine holes.

We'll just do the nine hole minimum.

Anyway, the the pro shop called us up and said,

because I tell you, when the people knew that we were what we're up to,

we're trying to do, they were absolutely.

They're gracious. They're nice.

I mean, they don't put up the tee sheets for us months in advance.

Oh, nice.

And so the pro called us up and he said, I know you guys are traveling.

I know you guys are trying to get this in.

Are you really going to try to play?

Yes, we are.

You're the only one on the day you'll be all alone.

Only one.

And so so it came away through.

Yeah, so he came up and he said, I said, if we cancel,

will you go ahead and close and just go home and he goes,

yeah, we're going to send everybody home.

If you guys are going to cancel, say, okay, fine.

So what he did though is that they opened it up for us on,

they inserted us on Saturday.

So we skipped North South Carolina,

hit North Carolina, Virginia,

and then came back to South Carolina.

And so and then we don't really like to play golf in the weekends.

No, proper.

But they opened it up for us.

There you go.

Look at there.

So this, this is but one of the facets and factors of the Turk-Lake couple.

Dana Lisa back with us at a moment.

It's the food for the poor co-hosting gig.

Others to come.

We love these folks.

We'll talk about some stuff in the news.

Things they're up to.

Did I hear about a 20th anniversary coming later this month?

What?

I have questions.

And we'll take a look at all of these things and more

when we continue.

Mark Davis, 660 AM.

Do we get what we deserve?

So I want to say it was a couple of years ago

that I catch wind of this Icelandic rock band

called Kaleo Kaleo.

It's a soulful vocal there.

That's nice.

So I've played them every once in a while.

And so Dana Lisa sent the list of stuff that they'd like for

because by the way, when you do the food for the poor co-hosting thing,

you get to pick the music we play.

I rarely relinquish that kind of control.

And one of the things you sent was a Kaleo record

because family connection.

Well, my son and my daughter-in-law,

they live in Nashville at the time.

They live just east of there now.

But she was an aspiring songwriter

and you know how tough a road that is.

But anyway, she has tons of contacts

and she worked in a high-end restaurant at that time.

And have you been in Nashville?

Sure.

Well, you'll be walking by and suddenly hear Chris Rock walking by.

You know, and nobody gets excited about it in the restaurant.

Well, this gentleman, JJ, one of the vocalists in that group,

was there and had befriended my daughter-in-law and my son in turn.

And anyway, they're at the restaurant and he's a wine connoisseur

and my daughter-in-law Trish.

She's a sommelier and so they're talking about music and wine.

And anyway, it's getting late and then there's some other woman

who's also kind of loosely related to music business.

They're all talking and she says,

well, this place is closing.

What do you say we go to my place and continue?

And so they do, you know, they go and they're talking.

And he is coming out with a new album at this time.

This is a few years ago.

And she, the host, asks him,

hey, a chance you could play something

or sing something for your album for us,

little intimate group.

And he's like, well, sure.

And so she goes, you know, the room and gets a guitar

and brings it out to him.

And he's like, oh, that's nice.

He goes, yeah, where'd you get that?

Well, my dad gave it to me.

He's like, he's in the music business.

He's like, yeah, he's a broad steward.

And it's like, it's like they're floored.

The brush is with greatness and national.

And the thing that's amazing about musicians,

I said, I have no musical talent whatsoever.

And everybody in my family can sing, but I cannot.

But he comes up and he starts to play this guitar.

And he goes, I think this was the guitar

that he used on this album, or whatever.

And he recognized, he recognized the tone of the guitar.

I mean, they're just amazing.

We've had actually studio musicians rewrite,

or redo songs for us.

Our daughter got married many, many years ago.

She likes the song El Paso.

It's a Waltz.

But it's too fast for me.

And so I, we asked them and they had

a studio musicians recut that for us at a slower pace.

They're just amazing.

It is true, man.

It's when she get married.

I'm sorry.

When did she get married?

All of them.

2021.

Gotcha.

It was right into COVID.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah.

So this is funny.

I teased with Mike this morning.

I said, tomorrow remind me before we get to anything else.

When I need to remember,

we were going to do a little bit of history.

And I don't think he knew what was coming.

It was six years ago.

Tonight.

Now everybody's day can vary.

Lisa and I were at a restaurant.

And our waiter guy, the Somalye.

I was, I didn't know he was from Somalianos.

Somalye, the wine guy.

Came up and he's open,

opening a thing and said,

I hear Tom Hanks has it.

I'm sorry.

What?

You remember when Tom Hanks came down with COVID?

Like, oh, somebody we know.

Now it's real.

And then moments later, he comes back.

I guess he's opening another bottle.

Can't imagine why.

And then said they just shut down the NBA.

I said, what?

You mean this night?

Tonight's games?

No, the entire season.

And it was, and that was when I called Paul Glyzer

and said, who would be spring break?

I'm always off on spring break week.

And I said, Paul, I need my show back.

And it was the following day,

March 12th, six years ago tomorrow.

But I came back, did the prayer for the first time.

I said, first before you do anything,

we're all scared to death, freaking out.

Well, what was the first thing we got to do?

Let's pray.

And so the whole beginning of that other world

was six years ago,

tomorrow, today and tomorrow.

Where were y'all when the world shut down?

Well, we were, I was just working.

Yeah, we're, I was working at Fort Seale still,

still doing my job.

For everybody who knows, there's a lot of veteran stuff going here.

At least it was in the, did what for the Air Force?

I was civil service.

Cash and budget, the Air Force.

Exactly.

And Dan was an Air Traffic Controller

and, and, and, and, are you still doing flight instruction?

Well, you know, I, I, I maintain my currency with that,

but I don't really, I don't instruct anymore.

I kind of, it's just one, it's one of those things that,

you work so hard for it a long time ago.

I hate to let it lapse.

Sure.

So, um, actually, I was hoping on this trip,

I was going to be able to say, hey, we flew down here today.

We've, for two years, we've been trying to buy an airplane

and have finally given up on that.

No, no.

Uh, is it, is it, but okay?

Why?

Well, it's, um, the airplanes are old, older now.

Anything that's affordable now is, is, is so old.

If you get afforded, you don't want it.

If you wanted to get afforded.

Yeah, and, and we've spent, we spent, uh,

a lot of money and time chasing airplanes down.

And when you get there, you find out that there's something

made for me.

Oh, that's true.

Anyway, it's not like buying a bum car.

Because the car doesn't drop out of the sky.

But, but it's not so bad.

The much of that, but it's, it's the, the money

it would take to keep it going.

Of course.

And so it's, uh, I'm just thinking, well,

God, just tell me, you know, you survived this, you know,

yeah, what's, what Chuck Yeager never owned an airplane.

So there you go.

There you go.

You seem to manage to drive it.

So in a final minute here on this,

maybe a quick COVID memory.

And then we'll get to a much better memory.

And that is y'all's wedding.

20 years ago, uh, later this month,

were you, were you in Blanchard yet?

For COVID?

Yes.

So small town, Oklahoma versus big, uh,

how, how were those first days of the world shutting down?

How did it, how did it fall into y'all's lap?

I, I, I think it affected the, the, um,

metropolitan areas, much more than it did our little rural bubble.

Yeah, they, um, I, I think, you know, it seemed like, you know,

that I'll wrap it real fast.

It seemed like you know, we have the guidance from above.

At the next level down has to do something to add to it.

And it became such a layered level of idiocy, you know,

it's just like, you know, well, if they say we got to do six feet,

we're going to do three feet and we're going to, you know, and, you know,

and, and so I think a Blanchard kind of got a little bit idiot

for about a day and then got over it.

Yeah.

What a genius observation because a lot,

because what is how the government instinct is the, the public servant,

public elected officials, we, we better be perceived as doing something.

If we just tell people, wow, this is Roth, go lead your own lives,

make your own decisions, it doesn't quite feel like leadership,

even though that's sometimes the best leadership.

It was, you know, bureaucrats elected people,

unelected people saying we'd better be perceived as doing something.

Well, that's like the Democrats come up with their crazy ideas and they come

at Republicans and conservatives and say, well, what's your idea?

And I always thought, instead of saying, well, we're going to do something not that bad,

I think you should say, we're not going to do something that stupid.

Yeah.

Excellent.

A midterm philosophy worth pursuing.

Dan and Lisa Turkler here.

We'll be right back in just a second.

And I have 30 in the news when we go.

Hi, Mark Davis here is Mary Rose.

And I've got to say long, when it goes,

what's the long way to go?

Take it to the world, make it fall.

Lil Chris Cross.

Farad, like you win, like you win.

Lisa's contribution, I am told, good job.

Saw him, you ever seen Big Chris Cross out of Austin, Texas?

Yeah.

Yeah, he, it was him,

Men at Work and Toto, one of those nostalgia shows

at the Toyota Music Factory.

And there was just, there was some summer time last year.

That was, it was great.

So if you've noticed that opportunity, there you go.

All right.

So 20 years ago, your 20th anniversary is March 26th.

Correct.

Correct.

And I asked him just during the break.

He said, so, uh, where'd y'all get married?

And he said, Vegas, I said, stop, story, story to follow.

Where were y'all living at the time?

Althus.

Althus of London.

Yeah, remember I was Dan from Althus.

He's called you at the other side.

That's right.

In a minute, listen, we're going to go back 20 years.

We're going to go back 30 years to what might have been

one of Dan's first calls to the show, TikTok, TikTok.

So 20 years ago, and you guys have known each other

already for about five years, if not a little more.

So at some point, well, first of all,

where did you pop the question?

Where did, where did then?

Uh, once you give him the ultimatum.

Yeah.

There you go.

There you go.

There you go.

Here he is.

It's just time to do it.

You know, it's one of those things.

You know, you have, you have baggage from another marriage

and you know, it's just like an, you know,

we were raising our five kids and it's just like,

yeah, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're chugging along well.

And, and it's, but it was not getting married.

It was causing her more angst than I was being convinced.

It's like, and of course, you were fine with the status quo.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Yeah.

And, and, and it was broke.

It was, it was broken.

It was broken.

She was right.

And it's, it's, it's been wonderful 20 years.

I mean, just, and I said, we've survived.

And we survived golf.

So we're good to go.

Not just survive, but thrive.

So early happy anniversary for 15, 15 days, two weeks from tomorrow.

So it's, uh, it's 2006 and the subject arises, okay,

where do you want to get married?

Who said Vegas first?

I don't know, but I, I don't know.

It may have been me actually.

I, I, back then I, I just, I loved Vegas.

Right.

Um, I don't know.

I'm just kind of, it's, it's, it's lost this lost.

Yeah, it has, but it was closer for most of our family that was going to

have tried and, uh, and, and, and, and obviously, you know,

you can have fun in Vegas and, of course, yeah.

So, so you had, so you had been, you, you, you would become a Vegas fan already,

right?

Yes.

The shows, gambling, food, just the scene.

What, what was it about it?

Well, I know back when I was a teenager, um, uh, an older teenager,

probably 17, 18, 19, somewhere around there, um,

my sister and I used to go to Vegas to go see an act or whatever.

We lived in California.

We lived in California.

Okay, gotcha.

California.

Okay, that's right.

So it was a quick drive, um, there.

And we would stay for the weekend or whatever.

But, um, back then, the, the food was crazy.

All you can eat for five dollars, you know, it, it was fabulous.

Absolutely fabulous.

So, um, I, you know, I just, the shows and the lights and, um, the people,

you know, it's just a fun, fun place to be.

And it's worn by a precisely right.

So, uh, you got, you, you didn't do it in a place with a velvet

elephant or anything like this.

So, what was the venue?

Where did you, what building did you get?

It was treasure.

Treasure Island.

Yeah, they, they had, they had a very nice facility there.

Yeah, they did.

Yeah, it was really, it was actually very nice.

Do they do it up?

Oh, they, they did as much as you want to do it up.

Yeah, and I got to make a tux look great.

Oh, man, and it was, it's kind of funny.

So we, we used the term you invited every, and it was, I don't even know what the,

what is the actual definition of a destination wedding?

Is that where you sent out the, because you, you find out who your friends are.

You find out who your family is.

You said you did this out of consideration to make it pretty easy for the

California half of your family to go.

Where were your folks coming?

Well, it was my, my boys, they're an, an altous, and my,

brought my dad in from West Virginia.

There you go.

Let's see.

That was.

And most of my family.

Yeah, you have your mother's sisters and, and their kids.

So it wasn't a, a huge wedding.

Yeah, of course, my best man came in from Oklahoma.

Yes.

So, so we've probably had about 20 people there, really.

I mean, which is fine.

It was great.

When we have the, is that built in honey mood?

You have to go anywhere else.

You just stick around there.

Well, that was a whirlwind, because it was like, it was a rive.

Get the license.

Yeah.

Next day, get married.

Next day, fly home.

I mean, it was, it was a whirlwind.

So, so no, not much of the honey moon thing.

It was just the, it's, let's get this.

The two decades since have served as the honey moon,

everybody could cause it.

Actually, absolutely.

Yeah, I think you got the travel thing down.

So, I'd say, so, so, let's go,

so you would not even met her when you had somehow stumbled

across this little show of mine.

I did mention, and so we're talking 30 years ago,

I arrived at BAP in 1994.

And so, and sometimes not long after that,

you were literally, and I just want to share this publicly.

There was a day that might have been one of the first days

that you called.

It was in the era of Clinton.

I was talking about Reagan,

wistfully and nostalgicly.

And how did that then go?

Well, you were just talking about the presence that,

Reagan, this was in early 95s, I recall,

because I just started driving, working, picked you up.

And what were you doing at the time?

I was, I looked at, I was, I had retired near force,

and I was now in air traffic control.

We're at a tower up north,

and you're responsible for my deafness,

because I had to turn, because you were on the other side,

and to pick up that station,

I had to turn that up to get past this data,

to make it look like you were seeing this.

That's great.

So, this is before online listening.

Yeah, yeah.

So, and of course, I said, I was trying to catch Rush,

and then I spotted you, and it's like,

oh my gosh, this guy is so talented.

I just know you're going to be national, and you are.

But anyway, you were talking about the presence of Reagan,

and how disarming he was, and the pun intended,

with Gorbachev, and you were saying,

Reagan could just charm anybody,

and you had watched a video or a clip where Gorbachev

was in hysterics, and I was like,

I was in Berlin at this time,

or when that had happened.

And we had been privy, supposedly, to the joke

that he had told Gorbachev,

and unfortunately, I'm not a very great joke teller.

Okay, we're going to try.

We can try it.

But basically, it's a Gorbachev,

and Reagan are talking.

Well.

And Reagan goes, you know, Gorby,

he goes to the big difference between...

They call him Gorby.

Are we making that up?

Yeah, yeah.

So he goes, you're the big difference between your country,

and my country, he goes, Reagan goes,

and anybody in my staff can walk into my office,

pound his fist on my desk and say,

President Reagan, you're doing a lousy job.

And I wish I had a Russian accent by Gorbachev.

Gorbachev goes, it's the same in our country.

He goes, anybody can come in my office,

slam their fist on my desk and say,

President Reagan is doing a lousy job.

Yes, yes, yes, there you go.

There you go.

So I remember, that was the time I called it,

and of course we'd call it in many, many times,

since then, over different events.

So I'll tell you what, in our, in our, in our remain,

let's do two things in our remaining bits.

Either since you were last here,

because there's a couple of things going on

in the news right now that you're welcome to weigh in on,

or just over, I mean, we've done the Clinton years together.

We have done the Bush that we've done the,

the Bush years together.

We've done, we did 9-11.

We've done all those things.

It's been a lot of listening.

Either the long 30,000-foot level, good for a pilot,

or anything recently just, what strikes your talk show fancy?

What's going on?

Well, I guess I'm concerned, obviously, about the,

well, this, this, not having so much trouble

getting the past this filibuster thing is crazy,

because we know that if we let the Democrats do it,

we're done.

Yep, we're done.

But I guess the only thing that's concerned me is what people

don't know, I mean, people don't barely remember 9-11.

Most of them were not even around.

This coming September is 25 years.

25, it's crazy.

The Berlin Wall, yeah.

I'd be surprised if AOC's ever heard of it.

Yes, yeah.

And, and, and, and you know, and you look back at that,

and it's like this, yes, they think socialism,

and it seems to be catching on, unfortunately,

and, and it's like, you don't know what it was like.

When, and it's like, we, you know, well,

Lisa's never there, but I, I lived in the showcase

of Eastern block, a socialism, and even in West Germany,

West Berlin, nice place, comparatively,

but at the same time, they had the,

I don't want to live under that system that they have,

you know, and it's like, I, like I told you,

I thought I could solve the world,

when I was in Berlin, I thought I can solve

the world's problems with Butterball turkeys

and American toilet paper, because you got to see the

clashes, because we had the French and the British

and the East German and the Russian toilet paper,

and it was just like, you know, the,

you know, the East German stuff was called John Wayne.

You didn't have any idea why it might've been called John Wayne.

Yeah.

Wouldn't take crap off anybody.

But oh, yes, yes, he's here all week.

But, but the Butterball turkeys, it's just like,

you know, with the West Germans,

the West Berliners just did not have access

to the, they had a great cooks,

but I could, a Butterball turkey to them

was like treasure.

And we're not, we weren't allowed to give them to them.

That's like black market stuff.

You could, you could make legitimate gifts.

I mean, if it was a legitimate gift,

but we also, we were part of a sportsman's club

where we used to do a lot of shooting.

And every year we were, we were given permission

to have a turkey shoot, because we could race funds,

and we'd give away these Butterball turkeys,

turkey shoots for you, shoot a shotgun,

closest pellet wins.

Well, I was, you know, I was a judge, excuse me.

That was a judge and handing that out in this one old

gentleman had been shooting for hours and having won.

It's expensive for these guys over there.

And he came up and said, I was talking to him,

and he said, yeah, he goes, I save up all year long

to come shoot to get one of these turkeys.

He goes, I've never won.

And I'm like, oh, you win the day.

Yeah.

So I handed him like three of those, you know,

I was allowed to, I was a judge.

Sure, the exact same.

That's very special.

Yeah, you, you know, as just like, you know,

if, if, if those people could experience what we have,

you know, and then I thought, if they would see,

you could experience that toilet paper.

But yeah, it's just, you know, it's, it's not good.

I mean, it's just like, you know, I mean,

the guy can't even afford to shoot a shotgun, you know,

because it costs so much.

I opened up a can of tennis balls here,

one done by accident, and they thought I was wealthy

because they were playing with the fuzz of those tennis balls

because they can't afford to buy tennis ball.

But this is the system you want.

Yep, where the government controls all of this.

The government controls a DMV.

I can't, you know, you can imagine.

You used extrapolate that, I'll see if you want to.

Yeah, so it's just, they just don't know what they're,

what, you know, what they're asking for.

They just don't.

There's a historical illiteracy, a lack of context,

a lack of travel is so important.

I mean, I've always told people,

between stuff and experiences,

if you grow up and get a job and have some disposable income,

have experiences, go places.

They change stuff, stuff breaks.

I ate the late Anthony Bourdain,

the cooking show travel show,

he said, the more I traveled,

the more I realized how little I know.

Yeah, of course, in your travels for food for the poor,

I mean, which brings us exactly around to the enormous

gratitude before we pause and come back to a couple of final words.

I mean, how many, how many kids did you all feed just by being here?

And how much water, you know, it's funny.

You think about hunger, you know, food for the poor,

the whole point is food.

But I can say, the stuff that really got with me,

especially in Haiti, was water.

Oh, in a village that doesn't have running water,

you ever get real bitter because the water is off for three hours,

because somebody's doing some work in the yard.

Imagine just never.

And so with these people who have suddenly had water returned,

or brought to their lives,

rather than having a nine year old,

having to schlep it in the bucket

from a not very clean creek, half a mile up a mountain side.

So that's what this whole visit has been about.

And I mean, enormously grateful to you.

Oh, well, we're blessed and we like to share it.

And obviously, I hate being on the radio.

It is an absolute joy to have you guys here.

So let's see, why don't we, there, there is a tune.

All right, let's sit tight.

There's a wonderful sort of jazzy, arcane, magnificent record

that you got for it to take us out.

So let's do that.

You can tell us why you picked it.

And we'll have a couple of final words as we hit the exit ramp

and hem things over to our buddy, Mike Gallagher,

sound like a winner.

It is 9.49.

Mark Davis standing at least here from Oklahoma

and we'll continue in just a moment.

The great Maynard Ferguson extraordinary Canadian

trumpeter Maria from West Side Story.

Taking us out in grand style.

And listen, I sit here doing all these musical birthdays.

Dan just hit me to the fact that today would have been

ancient in Scalia's 90th birthday.

So let's throw him some love as well as we throw you guys

love for the visit.

What do you want to wrap a tie bow around it?

Take us out.

What's on yours?

What's on yours mind?

I know just a great to be here again.

Happy birthday.

The later I'm sorry, I'm Anthony Scalia.

I mean, just like he's been the one where you have to come up

and say like, you got to check your consistency

as a conservative, you know, and there's so many issues.

They're like, I don't know how I like it to be this way,

but if I'm consistent, 100% and with Clarence Thomas

and Samuel Alito getting on in years,

you know what everybody's favorite thing is right now?

Is one of them retires.

Ted Cruz gets named in Supreme Court.

And then God bless him.

Wesley Hunt might be a fitting successor for the set.

Well, I do hope.

I mean, I do hope that Thomas does.

He's tired before the midterm.

And if we lose it, I hope we're in.

We're going real fast to get him for he'll leave

and get a new and confirmed.

But yeah, but I would like Cruz to be on the Supreme Court

because that way we're in about these elections.

Yes, there you go.

You just in between senators and Supreme Court justices.

You just never know.

But I do know this.

God bless you guys.

Thanks for being here.

We enormously appreciate Dan and Lisa Tercley

of Blanchard, Oklahoma for Rhonda and for Matt

and for Mary Rose.

We appreciate it so much.

Thanks, Mike Gallagher is next.

Help us our country, our troops, our families.

Mark Davis, 660 AM the answer.

See you tomorrow.
