Good morning and welcome.
Welcome to Matt Nair on air.
Jane Matt Nair, Greg Bach, Calvin Butenoff coming to you live from our studio here at Radio Park in Racine.
You can always join us, call or text.
It is the same number for both 855-752-
4842.
You can leave a comment on the live stream on Facebook, YouTube and what used to be Twitter just quickly coming up later on this hour.
After the 1130 news, we will lighten things up as we always do with what we like to call a little audio sorbet.
Just kind of a cleansing segment to
Take a breath and have some laughs and try and distract ourselves for a brief period of time.
So after the 1130 News, we're going to talk about what old TV show do you wish was back?
What old TV show do you miss?
We'll kick that around after the 1130 News.
We will wrap up the show as we always do with this shouldn't be a thing.
Today it is the It Floats Trust Me Edition.
It's a good one.
We have an audio element, too, so stick around for that.
Right now, though, she is joining us from an undisclosed location somewhere in Wisconsin, I assume.
Civic media's Chief Morrell Officer, Dr. Kristen Lyrely is here.
Good morning, Dr. Lyrely.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Good morning.
I think that this episode also should be, this shouldn't be a thing.
Yes, this should not be a thing.
Yeah.
We're talking about measles and the resurgence of measles in this country, which had essentially been eradicated.
And now it's back from CNN this morning.
The measles outbreak in West Texas is now linked with cases in New Mexico and new cases in Oklahoma.
This brings the total number of almost 300 cases of measles across the three states.
In Texas alone, over 200 measles cases reported and there have been two deaths.
This shouldn't be happening, Dr. Lierly.
Measles was eradicated in 2000.
I have never seen a measles case.
I started medical school in 2003.
I've never, ever seen a case of measles.
I have learned about it and I'm learning about it again because it is a thing.
And it is a thing because of misinformation and fear.
And it all goes back to the MMR vaccine and all of that crazy misinformation that spread about autism.
which has been debunked over and over and over again.
Now, there was a study at one time from what I understand that purported this link between autism and vaccines.
That study was rescinded.
That study was pulled.
That was a small study of less than 30 people done by a gastroenterologist in England who was paid to do a study.
I did the whole thing was crooked and the guy has lost his license.
I mean this it just got completely blown out of proportion and here we are now Children are dying and this is just the tip of the iceberg Jane measles is
probably the most infectious disease out there.
And knowing that these little things are popping up all over the place, we're traveling all over the place.
People are moving around, not realizing that they're exposed to measles.
If you have been exposed to measles, odds are you're gonna get at least a mild version of it, and you're gonna pass it on to somebody else.
So if you have not been vaccinated, you are at risk.
It is highly contagious.
One of the most.
Yeah, one of the most highly contagious diseases, measles, and as we're learning tragically, it can be fatal.
This can kill
you.
Especially for small children, especially.
And if it doesn't kill you, it can impair you for the rest of your life.
It can cause brain inflammation, encephalitis, that can cause numerous other problems.
And if you get encephalitis when you're five,
you're going to be affected for the rest of your life.
I heard someone refer to COVID as this too.
Like it's a, it's a, it's a paralyzing event that is that another way of putting it is like, like measles can, like you might not, you might get, like you said, a mild case, but it can affect you for the rest of your life in ways you're not even sure that could come up later on and really make it hard to exist.
But actually the reason why I wanted to ask you, you gave all those criteria about the, you know, 30 less than 30 people studied.
It was over in England, paid to do it.
Why did it?
I mean, I don't want to point my finger at Jenny McCarthy, but it still has legs.
People still refer to it.
And when you say, well, sorry, my friend who is a doctor has said less than 30 people, paid to do it, rescinded, lost license.
Why do people still say, well, you don't know.
You don't know, you're not a doctor.
I've done my own research.
Yeah, I get it Jenny McCarthy has a son.
I think a son with autism and We're all looking for answers autism is multifactorial and it's complicated and it's devastating and we want answers We don't want this to happen to other people.
So I appreciate that activism streak but it's misplaced and what we're seeing in the United States when people can't get access to real health care to real information
We're seeking out natural solutions.
So we've been hearing a lot about vitamin A as a potential solution.
Vitamin A does not prevent you from contracting measles.
I want to be really, really clear about this.
Vitamin A is not the solution.
It might be in Africa.
where people have vitamin A deficiencies.
There we have studies that show that for people who are sick with measles, it does make a difference.
And we do use it in the United States for people who are like kids who are hospitalized with measles.
We do give them vitamin A because there is some evidence that it can make a difference, but it also can cause problems.
It can cause liver problems and it can give you that false sense of reassurance that you are protected from measles when in reality it does not.
at all protect you from measles.
The only thing that protects you is the vaccines.
If you're just joining us, Dr. Kristen Lyerle is here and we are talking about the resurgence of measles in this country, which was eradicated in 2000.
You said Dr. Lyerle left, right?
And now it's back.
And now our...
Head of the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy Jr.
says it would just be better if everybody got measles.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has suggested we have measles parties.
She should have a measles party, but all the rest of us shouldn't.
We should all just get vaccinated if we are not vaccinated.
And if you have been vaccinated, if you've received both of those doses, the risk that your vaccine has waned or that that immunity has worn off is very low, less than 1%.
So you are probably covered.
But if you're concerned, you can get a simple blood test called a titer that will tell you whether you have that immunity or not.
So
that's, it's, it's easy.
So that's one option or you can just get another vaccine as long as you can get safely get a live vaccine and you tolerate that well, then that is another option for you.
So to be clear, if you are concerned about measles and you want to make sure that you're protected, you can either get a blood test or you can just get another dose of the vaccine and you should be good.
And, and if I get another dose of the vaccine at I'm 65 and I had, I,
I had measles when I was a sophomore in high school.
Now, does that mean I am protected forever or is it because I'm going to Texas next week to see a friend of mine and she is, she's outside of Austin, which is relatively close to where this outbreak is in Texas.
Should I be getting another booster or because I had measles when I was in high school?
Am I protected now forever?
Jane, you are golden.
All of the
data that we have, the only area of my life, Kristen, where I am golden, I'm not getting measles.
Why thank
you.
Because you have had measles and you know, there is this is what happens with misinformation.
They take something that has some truth to it and they blow it completely out of proportion.
They cherry pick the data and they use it in a way to persuade to.
to trick people
into
doing things.
So for you, because you've had measles, you are likely to be better covered than somebody who has actually had the vaccine.
Now,
Getting the illness puts you at a much greater risk of the complications of the illness.
So the vaccine is safer, which is why we recommend the vaccine.
But for you at this point in your life, you should be totally fine.
If you want the reassurance that you're covered, getting a titer, just looking at that number might make you feel better.
But
you should be golden.
And what I remember from about this, and if anyone is of similar age and who had measles,
What I remember from that is my mother insisting that my room be dark because there was a concern about eyesight and measles and the potential for going blind.
Related to the encephalitis, the brain
inflammation.
Yes, yes.
So I can remember.
And I was really sick.
I can remember being home for about two weeks in my dark bedroom because there was so much concern about that.
Wow.
And you know, your immune system for potentially years after your measles infection, your immune system is depressed.
So it puts kids at an additional risk for potentially years after they've been sick with measles and opens up the door for all of these other illnesses.
You know, I don't like to read.
the livestream comments.
But there is one thing I want to talk about, because I think it's an important point.
Someone's saying one death from measles in 10 years, 100,000 deaths from diabetes per year.
I think you can talk about both things.
I think you
can talk
about, we're talking about measles right now.
We can absolutely have you back in the show, Dr. Lyley,
and talk about diabetes
and talk about the
importance of
being healthy, exercising, but one doesn't have to exist.
If one exists, the other one can exist as well.
Thank you for making that a concern to you about making your concern.
We will have Dr. Lierly talking about that as well.
And I don't understand because this was something that was already eradicated in this country, why it's not a big deal that we have.
So one is okay, 23 is okay.
Now we're up to almost 300.
So that's okay.
We had gotten rid of this disease and thanks to
Jenny McCarthy of all people.
Thank you for reminding me of her.
Sorry about that.
One of the original influencers.
Why anyone would take medical advice from that person is stunning to me.
Well, and when we have a functional CDC, which it's becoming less and less functional because of government interference, what happens when we have an outbreak is we send a team to this place and they put a big shield around that place and they investigate it and they do everything they can to quash these outbreaks.
An outbreak is three or more people.
So when you hear RFK talk about all of these outbreaks that we've seen, we have, but we've had an effective surveillance system to fight it.
That's something we don't have anymore and that increases the danger.
to continue our conversation with Dr. Kristen Lierly.
If you would like to join us, 855-752-4842.
You're listening to Matt Nair on air, coming to you across the Civic Media Radio Network.
We will be right back.
Good morning.
Welcome back to Matt Nair on here.
Jane Matt Nair, Greg Bach and Sweet Calbee on the board coming to you from our studio here at Radio Park in Racine.
You can always join us, call or text the number is the same 855-752-4842.
Leave a comment.
if you're watching on the live stream on Facebook, YouTube, and the platform, losing more users than a molting parrot.
Dr. Kristin Lierly is here.
She is our Chief Morrell Officer.
What?
I love you.
Thank you.
Me too.
I'm working on some new stuff.
I'm just working
on some new stuff.
It's popping and
fizzling,
maybe.
You gotta throw it out there.
It's like jazz.
See how it goes.
It's
the joke's not being said.
But we're talking about the resurgence of measles in this country, largely because many people are now vaccine skeptics.
OK.
Let's talk about Dr. Lirely, the link between nutrition and measles.
This apparently is something that our new Head of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy Jr., who, by the way, worked with a company offering alternatives to vaccines for measles, right?
Wasn't that group the one pushing the vitamin A thing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is the thing.
So, yes, great nutrition is important for
Everyone we all should get enough sleep.
We should get regular exercise We should eat healthy foods including fruits and vegetables and whole grains and drink plenty of water We know these things.
Yes, but it's just not that easy, right?
Healthy nutrition is not going to protect you specifically from measles and you know the irony here is so ridiculous I was watching a Fox News interview between Sean Hannity and RFK and it led off with
Here we are at Steak and Shake in Atlanta.
Or did you see this?
Yes.
First of all, Steak and Shake is a fast food restaurant.
They're sitting there with a hamburger and the fries are almost gone.
In our case, chewing on the fries.
And I'm thinking, that's not healthy.
French fries are not healthy.
I love French fries.
I eat French fries.
French fries are not good for you.
And they're there sitting talking about how important nutrition is and how it's more important than getting a vaccine.
Clearly, this was a sponsored spot for steak and shake.
which is the whole thing behind RFK.
He's selling the supplements.
He's doing the bit for steak and shake.
He's got a book.
No, this is why we need the government to provide this foundation of health for us, because the government does not have a financial incentive to sell you supplements, to sell you something that they want to trick you into buying, thinking that it's going to make you healthier.
I know I'm crazy, but...
I prefer to get my medical advice from people I don't know who have studied medicine as opposed to someone who was on an MTV show and then offers her opinion on whether or not you should get vaccinated.
I know I'm an outlier that way, Dr. Lierly, but I just find comfort in the fact that there are people who have spent their lives.
researching these things, and then they published papers that were peer reviewed, which means you open yourself up to criticism of the results of your findings, correct?
There is a process for these things.
There is a huge process and this is the problem with doctors talking about stuff like this on the news because you get like a doctor Oz who eventually because it becomes profit driven starts selling supplements and going down that capitalism pathway.
Most doctors are so steeped in well it could be this or it could be that it's all of that gray area.
Even if you see a study that is a headline that like NBC News is reporting, they're boiling it down for you.
What they teach us in medical school is to
look at the study.
Who did they study?
Where did they live?
What were the other medical complex things happening with these people?
How similar were the groups that were being studied?
There's so much more information that goes into these studies.
So when you see the headline, those are the broad strokes.
But all of the details and the complexities are things that we really need to understand in order to advise you.
So when you come to us and say, I saw this thing on the news,
And you think that it applies to you because that is what the headline says.
We can help you dig through the weeds and figure out specifically how it applies to you.
That is the advantage to having a partner in health care who is focused specifically on you and your health and well-being.
We had a caller who didn't want to be on the air for the answer, but they wanted to know the difference between red measles and German measles.
Is it the accent?
There was a cheap shot.
I apologize.
It
was
too easy.
Oh, that was great.
That was really, really fun.
It's like, you have some
measles.
What is the difference?
They're just two different viruses.
Both of them are part of the MMR vaccine.
So it's measles, mumps and rubiola and rubiola is the is German measles.
Oh, I did not know that.
Look what we learn
on this program.
And I got
a good joke out of it, too.
What a day.
You know, something important to know about all of these, though, is that this is a live vaccine.
So some of the vaccines that are out there are called killed vaccines where the virus is not active.
It's a nerd,
yeah.
It's inert.
This is a live vaccine where you actually can potentially get the disease from this vaccine.
And that is one of the precautions that we share when we vaccinate someone with this particular vaccine.
And one of the reasons why if you do have a condition or you're taking a medication that causes immunosuppression, we have to be really careful when we use this vaccine.
Jack from Miramec is on the line.
Jack, you got to make it quick.
We've got about 90 seconds.
Thanks so much for joining us.
What do you want to say?
Okay, first of all, there's an old internet meme that you might be interested in.
A little girl says to her mom, hey, mommy, what's that round scar on your shoulder, mommy?
That's a smallpox vaccination scar.
And a little girl says, mommy, what's smallpox?
There you go.
Just wait.
You'll find out soon and
later,
hopefully not.
Hopefully not.
Yeah, exactly.
The other thing I want to mention is this.
I've spent some time in Africa and they do not have a really good polio vaccination program in a lot of places.
I saw.
So many kids, just way too many kids who had severe disabilities caught by that.
We don't see that in this country.
For a reason, right,
Jack?
Yeah, we don't see that in this country for a reason.
Thank you so much, Jack.
Really appreciate it.
We are right up against the news.
Dr. Kristen Lierly, really appreciate your time, my friend.
It's good to see you.
I saw you were in Washington yesterday.
We'll have to do a little follow-up.
I'd love to know how that meeting went.
Oh, I'd love to tell you about it.
I'll text you after the show.
And Diabetes.
Let's talk about that.
We'll have her back.
We'll have her
back to talk about Diabetes.
News is coming up next.
When we return, which old TV show do you miss?
That's all on the way.
You're listening to Matt Nair on air.

And by the time I got to know them, they'd been in radio 10 years.
And, you know, they had done all the things.
I got accepted to radio school.
And then they sent me a sheet saying, well, this is how much you're going to make coming out of
radio school.
I said,
well, I don't want to live in a box under a bridge.
So I guess I'm going to have to get a job.

As we always do for the last half hour of the show, we try and lighten things up a little bit.
We like to call it, he's on the phone.
Can you fill it in?
It was an underwater harp.
So our question for you today.
What old TV show do you miss and wish would come back?
And I thought of this this morning when I was driving in and I was listening to you and Pat Crichtlow on Up North News Radio.
Today in 1966 was the premiere of the Batman TV show with Adam West and Bert Ward.
I loved that show.
I
mean, you know, what's, what's interesting about Batman 66 is the stomping ground that show was for celebrities.
It
was.
Caesar Romero played the Joker.
Burgess Meredith.
Burgess, Jack Jones was on that show.
Um, you had,
you had.
Devonda wasn't, wasn't Devonda Carl.
No, no, no, it was Eartha Kitt.
Eartha
Kitt.
Eartha
Kitt.
played a
cat
woman and also Julie Neumar played a cat woman.
There were three cat women on that show.
And then you also had the crawling up the, up the side of the building and then someone opening a window and it's like, Oh, it's Dick Clark.
You know, it
was, those were, that was before Laughin
started doing that.
And that was going to be my show.
Laughin.
I loved Laughin.
Like when I was, so I, so I come from a very interesting generation, especially within Gen X, which is.
I didn't grow up with just three channels, but I also didn't have 150 channels.
I had about 20.
We had a clicker box on top of the TV.
We had cable.
And none of those channels shut off at midnight, like the old days where it was the-
It was the national
anthem.
And then snow for 12 hours.
They had to fill it with programming.
So all the shows I grew up watching had been canceled for a good 15 years.
black and white shows, comedies.
And one that my mom showed me that I fell in love with when I was really, really young was laughing.
That show was a groovy.
There was nothing like it.
No, there
was nothing like it.
And there's nothing, there's been nothing like it since.
And I don't want to get into the whole like, well, you couldn't do that show.
You could absolutely do any show today or movie today.
Just be sensible
about
it.
But laughing was like chaos in a bottle.
and it worked every single time.
And it was almost like, and when you think about the format of the show, fit who we are today.
Quick cuts, there's no like really long sketches.
Camera going back and forth and back and forth.
It was all quick.
Yeah, and I just, I mean, and you wanna see a Goldie Han before she got into movies?
I mean.
That's where she got her start.
It was an amazing show.
I can still name all the actors on the show.
I would love.
I would love to have a version of laughing today that was tongue-in-cheek, political, but not so politically serious that you were not having fun.
But we don't live in those times anymore.
Like you could, you could, you could funnel, in 1969, you could poke fun at a tricky dick and he'd come on the show.
You can't do that nowadays, but laughing would be my vote.
Which
TV show do you miss?
Which old TV show do you miss?
Doesn't have to be that old.
No.
But today is the
Anniversary of the premiere of the original Batman series from 1966.
855-752-4842.
855-75 Civic, what old TV show do you miss and wish would come back?
We got some good texts coming in.
Brian Famillewacky, Mission Impossible with Peter Graves.
That
was a great show.
That was a great show and the disguise guy.
I can see him and I can't remember his name.
He always did all the disguises.
Unmission impossible.
Somebody can text that in for me.
I've forgotten what his name is.
Thank you for that.
Brian from Milwaukee.
Liz from Sockville.
I miss Mesh and the love boat.
Mesh is probably my number one TV show.
And I've watched it so many times.
I almost feel like it's still on the air.
That show is fantastic.
Loveboat, I can watch an episode or two and then I'm like, I get it.
I would like to see Fantasy Island again.
They tried to redo that show as like a darker version, I think, and it just didn't know.
There is no Fantasy Island without Ricardo Montabon.
With a deep Corinthian leather.
She's you on the live stream says, old cartoons.
I would love to see come back.
The world of Donald the Gnome.
and Pirates of Dark Water.
I would love to see Fractured Fairy Tales come back.
What was that?
That was part of Looney Tunes, and it was always a very short segment of the Looney Tunes on Saturday mornings.
But Fractured Fairy Tales is just what it sounds like.
They would take an old fairy tale and screw it up.
Okay.
And it was hilarious.
It was absolutely hilarious.
What old TV show do you miss and wish would come back?
855-752-4842.
Mike from West Bend is on the line.
Good morning, Mike.
Thanks so much for joining us.
Well, good morning.
Yeah, I started as a police officer in the 70s.
And you want to see a real police show, Barney Miller.
I love that show.
That was- That's what the real quad room was like, and I'll tell you, it showed that the cops had a lot of heart.
Oh, that was a great show, Mike.
I had forgotten about Barney Miller, and what a wonderful cast.
And a top 10 theme song, too.
Yeah.
One of the
funkiest.
That's fabulous, Mike.
Thank you so much.
What a great reminder.
What TV show do you miss and wish would come back?
855-752-4842.
John from Hubertus, WKRP.
Yep.
That was a bunch of... Was so brilliant.
Chai Chai Rocker was.
I swear to God, I thought turkeys could fly.
It's just one of those shows that is still
quotable.
Was Martin Landau the guy rolling rolling hand?
Yes, it was rolling hand.
Yes, Martin Landau.
Thank you.
Thank you.
He was the disguise guy.
Yes, he was the disguise guy in Mission Impossible.
John from West Bend, a tie between Laughin and the Smothers Brothers.
The Smothers Brothers.
I mean, you want to talk about some some real like, what do they call it?
not covert, but like controversial material.
You got Dick and
you guys, they got really political and they got in trouble
for
it
canceled for it.
Cause they were heavily anti-war.
And one of the best jokes ever was that he said, uh, that, that joke where he says, president Nixon has said that we're going to, um, you know, want to make sure that all of our, our veterans are safe for the holidays.
And then Dick goes, come on, boys, you're fine now.
Come on home.
It's just, it's, Oh, Maryland for Columbus, the West wing.
That's top three.
It's mash.
the West Wing and then whatever show is like in that spot.
But Masch and the West Wing are always in the top.
What TV show, old TV show, do you miss and wish would come back?
855-752-4842.
Terry on the live stream says, emergency.
I remember that show.
Dr. shows were really big in the 70s.
Dr. Marcus, Dr. Marcus Welby.
Marcus Welby, MD.
Trapper John.
Trapper John, MD.
Which was a weird spin-off of
the movie mash, not the TV show mash.
Yep, exactly.
Fractured fairy tales from Rocky and Bowwingle, someone listening in Madison.
Thank you for the clarification.
Oh,
yes, now I remember.
Okay.
The Rocky and Bowwingle.
Yes, I remember watching those when I was a little kid.
Oh, come on.
The Carol Burnett Show.
So brilliant.
Oh, and The Avengers.
That's, folks, if you have streaming The Avengers, and this is for your kids listening, we're not talking about Marvel, we're talking about the TV show, the English spy show.
Yes.
That is on streaming.
Is it really?
I
don't know where it is
exactly.
Does it still
pass the
test of time?
Oh, I don't know.
I never watched it as a kid.
Emma Peel.
Yeah, she was.
Hey, hello.
She was something.
Hello, Calvin.
Are there any shows?
I mean, I know that you're a resident young person, but are there any shows that you wish was still here that, you know?
Well, I don't.
None of them would be really considered old shows, especially to you guys.
That was not the compliment you thought it was.
I didn't mean it in any type of way.
I don't know.
I feel like.
Like community always had six seasons in the movie.
So I'm waiting for the movie community.
I think Jordan and Michael could do some interesting things with key and peel if they brought that I
would love
key and peel to come back They were fantastic.
I don't think they'll ever do a TV show again.
I think they'll I think they would sooner do a movie But they did their one movie they did their show they did their one movie and I mean Jordan Peele is just he's in a different I mean
Keegan-Michael Key is on a different level for TV and performing, whereas Jordan Peele is on a different level for what he is doing.
And Jordan Peele, every time I look at him, I'm like, you are a director.
He's
always got a big beard, and he's wearing a suit jacket.
I'm like, oh, sir, Mr. Hitchcock's calling.
He loves your look.
What TV show do you miss and wish would come back?

Uh, the Carol Burnett show, you could go to YouTube.
Yes.
There are classic Carol Burnett skits all over YouTube, including the one with Tim Conway and the, uh, the Siamese elephants.
Yeah.
When I'm really, really feeling down, I will watch that clip over and over and over again.
Just cannot hold in the laughter on all accounts.
He killed everybody.
He killed Dick Van Dyke.
He just broke them all up.
Tim Conway was hilarious.
Oh my gosh.
There's some great shows coming through here, like Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
Yes.
Oh my gosh.
Dick Van Dyke's show and the Mary Tyler Moore show.

Waukesha.
So, I loved, so I wrote a college paper about soap.
Go on.
Which was Billy Crystal's
first.
Yes, it was.
First big hit.
And it dealt with the idea of homosexuality on that show too.
And the world still made it through the night.
Shockingly.
Yeah.
Whose line is it anyway?
Steve from Milwaukee, another great one.
You can
still find reruns of that show.
I prefer the British version myself.
Do you?
Yeah.
The American version is wonderful.
They're very, but I've got, you know, a soft spot in my heart for all of those British performers, especially Sandy Toxford, who is the, who is the host of QI, which is the greatest quiz show on the planet.
Okay.
But yeah, I, I just.
Whose line is that?
Is it anyways?
Love it.

It's really dry in parts of Wisconsin.
So for my fellow social pariahs, smokers, don't throw it out the window.
Yeah.

Calvin, that means it is time for.
This
shouldn't be
a thing
As always if you find a thing you think should not be send it into Greg and me at Jane says at civicmedia.us this article from electric Fred Lambert with the byline headline reads Tesla's cyber trunk sank when launching a jet ski after Elon Musk said you could use the truck as a boat
Whoopsie doodles.
I mean he's not wrong Elon Musk did say that the boat would be a flotation device in certain situations.
What certain situations?
Let's go to the tape Cal.
A cyber truck has sunk at a boat ramp in California after the driver attempted to use it to launch his jet ski.
Local fire crews worked with divers to pull the submerged vehicle from the water.
In 2022, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted, Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat.
So it can cross rivers, lakes and even seas that aren't too choppy.
I do want to point out that it was pretty calm where this guy was trying to launch his jet ski.
That didn't save this Tesla.
There's a lot to unpack in that tweet.
First of all, any car can be a boat briefly.
Briefly.
That it becomes a sinking device.
Exactly.
It becomes more
anchor.
Yes, more anchor, less flotation.
I am not the smartest tool in the shed.
I am not a graduate with honors, but I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a brief ocean experience when it comes to boats.
They're pretty big.
They are pretty large.
They're known for being, I mean, like, we have the Great Lakes.
Those are big.
Oceans are, some would say bigger.
So I would like to see how long a Cybertruck would last as a brief boat.
On
an
ocean,
even if it's really calm.
Yes.
Yes.
Elon Musk has often made claims before about how Tesla vehicles can float briefly and serve as a boat.
This has never been taken too seriously because Tesla's warranty says something different.
Oh,
tell me more.
About taking it into the water.
Yes, it seems that in order to do this, Tesla built in a wade mode
For the Cybertruck to go into the water this Allegedly increases the height to the maximum and pressurizes the battery pack.
However slight problem This gets activated through the off-roading mode, which is not covered under the Tesla warranty
Breaking news Tesla has just released a new update for their Cybertruck and how it could be fully
floatable on the water.
You have to order what's called a ferry.
It shows
up to a duck.
You then put your car into its patented drive mode, put it on the ferry, and allow the ferry to float it, even choppy waters.
Problem solved.
Problem solved.
Cybertruck for life.
Totally normal behavior
here, folks.
Tesla owner in California, unfortunately, learned the hard way that the Cybertruck is not a boat.
It's not a cyber
boat.
Not a cyber boat.
It happened in Ventura, California.
And again, he was trying to launch a jet ski on the boat when he could not get his cyber truck back out of the water.
It became completely submerged.
Divers from the Coast Guard had to help the tow truck driver get it out.
There is not only audio, there are some video elements, so I encourage you to check out our show notes afterwards if you would like to appreciate the full scope and breadth of the story.
If you're having a
bad day, just watch this, because the best part is opening up to the,
huh, huh, huh,
sound.
You gotta love it.
That wraps up today's episode of...
This shouldn't be a thing.
On the way we have news next followed by Todd Alba from noon to two, Maggie Dawn, two to four, Dom Salvia, four to six, and then Pete Schwabba, six to eight PM.
