from thirteen ten wyba Am Robin, how are you?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Oh? Doing a swell? Swell? I thought maybe you know
you were sweltering under the ank or something like you
know what, I got caught three times. You know, I'd
like to play a little game of chicken with mother
Nature with my convertible.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
You know.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Sometimes it's cloudy and you were like, oh, you got
your top down. I'm like, yeah, I'm gonta. I lost
three rounds yesterday, really three rounds because it was just
all of a sudden in a sporadic rain, and I
was driving to Madison's East Side and I had the
top down to start in it, and I'm like, oh,
it's going to pass over quick because little rains. That's
not bad. But no, it's it started to intensify, so

(00:53):
I had to pull over put it up. Uh. And
then I'm continuing on and it was like, well it's
nice again, and I want the breeze. So I took
it back down, especially to help dry out the interior. Yes,
so I took him back down. So I'm continuing on
my way lo and behold here comes another one. Oh
my god. I can't just an idiot. I should have
just stepped it up. And then you know, later on

(01:14):
the drive home, and I parked it at home, and
I was doing stuff inside and Fred was out all
on the lawn and all of a sudden, I'm hearing
we got a skylight in the kitchen. I'm hearing Petter.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Oh, no, I run out. Oh for three, yeah, oh
for three.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I was los there yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I have a sun roof in my truck and sometimes
so I really enjoy having an open and I'll just
forget sure and I'm like, oh my god, I'm outside too,
so I feel that pain.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Huh oh boy. What a day yesterday and into this morning,
just seeing the response, the reaction to the homecoming the
Americans who were released by Russia yesterday in the largest
prisoner swamp in US and post Soviet history. Among them,
Paul Wheelan, who was detained in Russia get this nearly
six years. He shared why he was at in the

(02:00):
first place. The FSB grabbed me, said I was a spy, apparently,
a general in the army.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
A secret agent Fordia. This is the nonsense narrative they
came up with, and they just they wouldn't let it go.
A general in the army.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah. And Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gerskovich also released.
He had just last month was sentenced to sixteen years
in prison on this ridiculous charge of espionage Russian American
journalists was also released. I cannot stress enough people pay
attention to State Department travel advisories. Now this guy was,

(02:39):
you know, Evan of course a reporter, and Paul what
their circumstances for being there. But if you're just going,
you know, abroad, traveling here or there, pay attention to
it or even Mexico when the State Department puts out
these warnings, right, because you just don't want to be
in a dire situation like that, and especially if they
can use you as political, political bargaining tool tool they will.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Well, and that clip like, I'm glad that he shared
that and that sort of like narrative that was coming
out of Russia and from Putin obviously, but they're not dumb.
They know exactly who this person was and what they
were doing. They know he's not a general in the army,
but they have got, you know, prisoners they want back.
And a lot of times the prisoners have done a
lot worse things than Narshos.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Uh huh, and they're still Americans being held a prisoner.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
And you know, so the one what was it a
year ago now, a year and a half ago, what
was his name? Remember his Yeah, Jame something some crazy
thing about like.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Oh the one that the merchant of death. Yeah, that
was Exchange. It's like, I don't know, should we be
Ladys go? But yeah, so we'll see. No.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
That's a really good tip. Listen to those State Department
travel advisories.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
On the roads of Fifty two year old man from
Rockford killed yesterday after he crashed into the back of
a semi south of New Glarius. This happened on Highway
sixty nine just after four in the afternoon. The semi
had been stopped to make a turn off the highway
and the man must not have seen his tail lights
or he ran right into it as truck ran right
into it and he was dead at the scene. There

(04:14):
was a fire at a home and sun Prairie yesterday afternoon.
This involved solar panels on the roof of this home
on Santa Bel Lane. It sounds like fire departments got
it taken care of before it did too much damage
here and no injuries were reported. You've probably been cheering
the Olympic winds the American wins this week, but you
just got to get say hats off to Simone Biles

(04:36):
and Katie Ladeki. Ladeki when won her thirteenth medal, that's
the most ever for a female Olympian in history, and
Simone she has just been kicking button, taking names. She
won a gold yesterday and the women's all around final
with a stunning floor exercise. Both of these women are
twenty seven years old, which they say is the peak

(04:58):
