Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
That's a first. I just ripped part of my hair
out with these inputes. Good lord, it's Frida. I am
feeling it. Thank goodness, we made it.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
We're covering this morning's top stories. The FAA is looking
into a communications outage at Denver International Airport that happened
earlier this week. The outage happened Monday and lasted for
about ninety seconds just before two pm Local time. It
left fifteen to twenty aircraft unable to communicate with air
traffic control as they approached the airport. The FAA said
(00:37):
air traffic controllers were able to use another frequency and
there weren't any impacts on operations. This comes after New
Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport saw back to back outages
in a two week span, and then we also learned
this morning that the hotline between the Pentagon and the
FAA has been inoperable for over three years at Reagan
(01:01):
International Airport.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It's tough to hear about all of this and then
continue for many of these people to get out and say,
but it's still safe to fly. I'm sure it is.
Although this is incredibly disheartening, to say the least.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well, I mean, it indicates that there's a major problem
within the FAA and within the infrastructure at our airports,
which is kind of a scary thing, not kind of,
it is a scary thing absolutely.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Why we're just hearing about it now? Do you think.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Because nobody's looked into it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Before or they've kept it quiet?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Why would they keep it quiet? Why wouldn't they just
fix it?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Because they don't want to fix it? Others wherewithal to
fix it? I don't know. I mean, if I'm not
directly involved. If I were, I would hope to be
able to have an answer for that.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I think because it's been totally mismanaged and nobody was
paying any damn attention, that's why. And now they're paying
attention again because there's actually capable people in these rolls
again and they're discovering all of the all of these things.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Well, there are people who are within the FAA who
have said that this is dangerous, that we have a
lack of personnel that you know, they have been talking
about it, but basically it sounds as if under the
previous administration they were ignored. Thanks Pete Buddha judge. But
that you know, Mayor Pothole Pete's out here trying to
(02:25):
point fingers at the current administration. It's ridiculous. I don't
know if you saw him making the rounds over the
last week, because of course the left leaning propaganda press
has been talking to him as if his opinion matters.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Now, well, I did see him making the rounds with
his beard. Now, Mayor Pete grew a beard, and how
there's a whole slew of jokes. Yeah, I can go
along with that, but I will leave that alone for
right now and just say, Mayor Pete is totally inept.
(03:02):
He's a good talker. I mean you can't. You have
to hand him that. He sounds responsible and serious and capable,
and he's anything but he's a fraud. So he's a
good talker and that's it. But I would argue that
everybody within the Biden administration was like the backbench team,
(03:26):
everybody from Jennifer grand Home to Pete Bododha judge to
just look at who is in charge.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Well, yeah, I don't know how many times are ways
I can say sleep better at night now that the
adults are back in the room. And in charge.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I mean from the White House to the DOJ, to
the Department of Energy, to the Department of Transportation.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Of Human Services.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
All an s show under the Biden administration.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Use headlines and the talk you need. This is Charleston's
Morning News with Kelly and Blaze on ninety four to three.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Is it true that the hotline, the direct line between
the Pentagon Air Traffic Control and the DCA tower has
been inoperable since March of twenty twenty two, Yes, sir,
that is correct.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Oh man, what is coming of this? So very latest
this morning Texas Center, Ted Cruiz just a little bit
of a highlight, was speaking in front of Congress there
to officials with the FAA, and that's regards to d
C in the tower there with the Pentagon, and of
course the tragedy over the Potomac with the military helicopter.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Reagan International Airport. So you know there was a fatal
crash back in January and where the plane crashed in
the Potomac after hitting a military helicopter, and then there
was two other planes that had to be diverted. So
the same thing didn't happen again, and they still haven't
(04:59):
shut down the air space to military helicopters. And now
it turns out that the hotline between the FAA and
the Pentagon has not been operational for more than three years.
I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
It's just a myriad of failures. And you have to
wonder how long the previous administrations would go back three years?
Did they know about this? Who knew about this? Is
it too much for me to ask, considering the previous
president didn't know about a lot of things that was
going on around him.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I'm sticking to my opinion is nobody knew about it.
That's why it stayed inoperable for three years. Nobody that's
how bad at their jobs they were.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Or has learned helplessness. It's like, oh, well, i's just
expected it doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I don't think anybody is paying any attention.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Well, it's even more scary and pet.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Pood Judge was laying in his hospital bed with his
hospital gown on. I thing, you just had babies.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I just I don't want to laugh at it because
it's just so.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Incredibly it's clownish.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yes, it's absolutely ridiculous. We have, you know, been tortured
through that clown show. For four years. Thank god again
the adults are back in charge. It is going to
take some serious time to write these ships though, And
do people have the wherewithal to you know, go through
whether it's anything tariffs or you know, all of the
(06:29):
things that are having to be revamped, overhauled, taking care
of frankly dealt with rebuilt. Look at the how they're
I mean, we're talking about the Denver Airport.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Newark continues to make headlines even this morning with the
blackouts or outages.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah, there's been several in Newark. There was one in
Colorado earlier this week. So this system is failing us.
And not only and by the system, I don't even
mean the mechanics of it, of course that's part of it,
but our system of government, the way that we handle
these things, and maybe it should be privatized. And every
(07:14):
time that anybody speaks of privatizing anything, it's like, oh,
that's horrible. Why would we turn it over to capitalism
in a free society. No, the government has to handle this.
How dare you even bring up privatizing it? But in
the meantime, when the government handles it, it's a broken,
outdated system, rife with fraud and waste.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Right, a boondoggle, an absolute mess. You had the opportunity
to fix it, and you mucked it all up. Look
at our own example here in South Carolina with our DMVs.
Even in South Carolina, where someone say, oh, the government's
more efficient or it depends on who you are and
what you're talking about. But when we took it out
(07:58):
of the hands, privatized basically a DMV, it became a
far better machine.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Well I would say.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Far better than it was.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Plenty of frustrations with the DMV.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It got better.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Well that was ten fifteen years ago still, and so
we did see an immediate change and it did get better.
But somehow now it's all screwed up again. I don't
know when the last time you had to go stand
in line at the DMV was. But you know what,
it's not fun.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It's never fun. It's the DMV. But it runs far
more efficiently than it has the first you know, half
of my life. Geez it just to me. It does
depends on where you go. I guess maybe I know
the right ones to go to. I will DMV shop
to get in and out quicker.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Yeah, well, good luck with that, because like I said,
now we're back to long lines and it's horrible. So
I don't know what's going on there, but you know,
we have our own problems here in South Carolina. And
again it's government right, So look at our roadways, and
I take every opportunity I can to call out, you know,
(09:09):
the South Carolina Department of Transportation, and they're not the
only ones. It's the politicians in charge, and that's where
the bucks should stop. But certainly the DOT also has,
you know, some culpability. And this look at just the
atrocious state that our roads are in of disrepair or
(09:30):
even just the lack of roads, how much the traffic
gets worse literally day after day after day after day.
And you sit there and on the one hand, you
have the federal government mandating that you must drive fuel
efficient cars, and they're going to tell you what kind
of car to drive, and then you're going to go
sit in traffic because your roadway system is totally mismanaged
(09:52):
and burn through all that fuel or electricity or whatever
it is that you're using to propel yourself, and also
just the damage that it does to your car, The
added maintenance cost of all of these potholes, and uneven.
You know the tie you're ware and just the whole
thing and the frustration of it all.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
All of that is why we bring you traffic every
ten minutes here on ninety four to three WSC. And
we appreciate you listening, including us in your morning commute,
by the way, because we know how frustrating it is.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and plays.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Great new news. Friday night, fireworks coming up. River Dogs
baseball is actually home all weekend long, and Tomorrow night's
Military Appreciation Night powered by Boeing so on the heels
of sports. Nice reminder that right in our own backyard,
we've got good all American pot baseball with our River Dogs.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
We're recovering this morning's top stories form our FBI director
James Comy is receiving criticism for a social media post
some say calls for the assassination of President Trump. The
post included a photo of seashells on the beach arranged
to form the numbers eighty six forty seven. The post
faced criticism from Trump administration officials, with Homeland Security Secretary
(11:09):
Christy Nomes saying Comy was calling for the assassination of
President Trump. The number eighty six is occasionally used as
a slang term for getting rid of someone or something,
while forty seven was interpreted as a reference to Donald
Trump's status as the forty seventh president. In a post
on Xnome said DHS and the Secret Service are investigating
(11:30):
the threat Comy has since taking the post down. Telsea
Gabbart also said they're going to investigate.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Now I do. I did come across the clip, and
I can pull it up here where she goes off
about that, because it was the first I'd kind of
heard about it, and I'm like, wait a second, why
would what did it stand for? James Comy like, what
was that?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Well, he's playing stupid and says he knew it was
some sort of political message, but he didn't know what
it meant. Is what his excuse was. Wow, that guy
is so irritating.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
He is slimy. He would I'd lost all respect any
with which you know, I might have had for this man.
When he stood at a podium and said all the
ways that Queen Clinton ought to be charged with crimes
wiping my server with a cloth or something, and then
said Chuo won't be charged. I lost all recept for
him then, but this is really a new low.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
He's annoying. He has that earnest look on his face
like he's so above everybody. He's just an honest FBI
law man. But he's not. He's a jerk. And he
knew what eighty six forty seven meant. He was the
head of the FBI. And anybody that works in food
and dove knows what eighty six means. Hey, eighty six,
(12:39):
what does that mean? Means to get rid of it?
Kill it? And there's actually a movement with T shirts
and other you know, bumper stickers and stuff like that
that says eighty six forty seven.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
All right, So here's a Tolsey Gabbert on Fox talking
about take a listening.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Especially coming from a guy who's the former director of
the FBI, a guy who spent most of his career
prosecuting mobsters and gangsters, people who know and execute other humans,
and use this exact lingo of eighty six.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, he knew what it was, and now he wants
to play stupid in Koy never liked him, never will,
and he's part of the whole corrupt FBI. By the way, in.
All of those people during that era were Robert Muller.
You read back on some of the stuff they did,
especially out of Boston. I even read a book on it.
(13:33):
Whitey Bulger in that whole case and how they're White
Bulger's getting away with murder while he's an FBI informant
and he's using the FBI. So he's almost like a
what do you call it a double spy or what's
the term for it when somebody's double agent? Yeah, double agent.
So he's playing on both sides, you know, with Robert
(13:54):
Muller on one side in the FBI, and that all
of this stems Outrobert Muller's FBI and then James Comy
rises to the top.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Look how far he's fallen. I mean, what does it
take for you to be spelling this out in the
sand in seashells? The whole thing is disturbing. Do you
think anything's really going to happen? Though?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Well, I don't know if he spelled it out. He
claims he just stumbled across it.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh, but felt compelled to share it.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
No.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I think you know they're going to use it for
political fodder and it'll go away eventually. But it shows
you what a jerk he is. Like I said, news
headlines and the talk you need.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Plays on
ninety four to three WUSC.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Hey, thanks for being with us on this Friday morning.
Maybe you have big plans for the weekend, or maybe
you're just going to relax. Either way, hopefully it's a
good one for you. So men are twice as likely
to die from what's called broken heart syndrome compared to women.
New research out of the University of Arizona looked at
what's officially called to cut so bo cardi ow myopathy.
(15:08):
I'm sorry, I don't mean a lot so anyway. This
is a condition brought on by extreme stress or emotional distress.
It can lead to shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and
other cardiovascular symptoms. After looking over four years of data,
researchers found the condition was fatal for men eleven percent
of the time, compared with only five percent of the
(15:29):
time for women. The reason for the discrepancies aren't fully understood.
Researchers suggest it might be related to hormonal differences. So,
you know how you make a hormone.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You're Okay, so kudos to you for attempting that. What
is it to katsu bo cardio to.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Cut takatsu bo cardi? Oh, myopathy?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
We all know cardio myopathy. But so well this, Yeah,
you guys, sadly you have a shorter lifespan than we
as ladies, right, so you just on average tend to
pass away earlier than women. And you know, what I've
noticed in my life is when the wife, you know,
dies first, men seem to die real soon after. I mean,
(16:21):
do you not notice that in your own life? Your
own life experiences sometimes and then I mean for me,
it's been sort of the case it seems as if
if the woman dies first, the guys are close behind.
You know, all of this is sad. And my dad
used to say, we all die of a broken heart.
And I mean, in the at the end of the day,
(16:42):
that's the truth in that our heart stops. But boy,
what a sad study here.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah. Well, I mean it's the human condition, all right.
So I mean it's tough if you lose somebody you love. Well, yeah,
but it's not only having them dying, right, it's uh
just separation. It's a you know, if you're h I
think it comes down to stress is what it comes
(17:13):
down to. Probably.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, it's interesting they throw hormones in here too.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Mm well, because that stress might affect men and women
differently because of hormones. I don't know. That's my take
on it. I'm no doctor.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
It's just kind of funny when you're you know, with
your loved one for a long time. You know, say
you've been married for decades and decades and decades, You've
had a whole life together, and that, you know, the
constant joke is like, you're gonna put me in my grave. Woman,
You're gonna you know, whether it's the man or the woman,
like you're killing me, you know kind of thing. And
in the end, in the end, it all that stress
(17:50):
is what kept you alive. No, none that I tried
to put a nice bitch now exist side is going
to come out here we go.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Figures a woman would say that, no, that's not what
that stress is, not what kept you alive. It's literally
what kills them. And so there's a grain of truth
when they're like, woman, you're going to kill me?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
No, Well, I we can look at it both ways.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Why do you think men die sooner than women?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well, and have a scientific factors as to why you
cannot blame a woman on that.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I'm saying, well, it's stress, right, and stress kills.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
But in this story, it's quite literally saying that you
know with her being gone, that the stress of her
being gone is what kills.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
So anyway, No, it's a condition brought on by extreme
stress or emotional distress.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Right, So, I mean sauce of hers too much to
bear and your heart is broken, you get her from
and you die. Men or twice as likely to die
from a broken heart compared to women.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It sounds to me like affirmation of what I just said,
that the stress gets them and not as much as
it does women. And maybe it's a hormonal difference why
there's that different reaction, or maybe it's just that display
we had right there where women are giving men a
hard time.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Oh here, okay, Wow, it's always had. It's going to
be our fault, just like it's always going to be yours.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Exactly I had to go there. But anyway, I mean,
this is not you know, some woman leaving a man.
That's not what the research is. It's a condition brought
on by extreme stress or emotional distress of course, that
can happen if you know, if you if your loved
one dies or breaks up with you, or whatever the
case might be.

in a free society. No, the government has to handle this.
How dare you even bring up privatizing it? But in
the meantime, when the government handles it, it's a broken,
outdated system, rife with fraud and waste.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Right, a boondoggle, an absolute mess. You had the opportunity
to fix it, and you mucked it all up. Look
at our own example here in South Carolina with our DMVs.
Even in South Carolina, where someone say, oh, the government's
more efficient or it depends on who you are and
what you're talking about. But when we took it out
(07:58):
of the hands, privatized basically a DMV, it became a
far better machine.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Well I would say.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Far better than it was.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Plenty of frustrations with the DMV.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It got better.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Well that was ten fifteen years ago still, and so
we did see an immediate change and it did get better.
But somehow now it's all screwed up again. I don't
know when the last time you had to go stand
in line at the DMV was. But you know what,
it's not fun.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It's never fun. It's the DMV. But it runs far
more efficiently than it has the first you know, half
of my life. Geez it just to me. It does
depends on where you go. I guess maybe I know
the right ones to go to. I will DMV shop
to get in and out quicker.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Yeah, well, good luck with that, because like I said,
now we're back to long lines and it's horrible. So
I don't know what's going on there, but you know,
we have our own problems here in South Carolina. And
again it's government right, So look at our roadways, and
I take every opportunity I can to call out, you know,
(09:09):
the South Carolina Department of Transportation, and they're not the
only ones. It's the politicians in charge, and that's where
the bucks should stop. But certainly the DOT also has,
you know, some culpability. And this look at just the
atrocious state that our roads are in of disrepair or
(09:30):
even just the lack of roads, how much the traffic
gets worse literally day after day after day after day.
And you sit there and on the one hand, you
have the federal government mandating that you must drive fuel
efficient cars, and they're going to tell you what kind
of car to drive, and then you're going to go
sit in traffic because your roadway system is totally mismanaged
(09:52):
and burn through all that fuel or electricity or whatever
it is that you're using to propel yourself, and also
just the damage that it does to your car, The
added maintenance cost of all of these potholes, and uneven.
You know the tie you're ware and just the whole
thing and the frustration of it all.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
All of that is why we bring you traffic every
ten minutes here on ninety four to three WSC. And
we appreciate you listening, including us in your morning commute,
by the way, because we know how frustrating it is.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Great new news. Friday night, fireworks coming up. River Dogs
baseball is actually home all weekend long, and Tomorrow night's
Military Appreciation Night powered by Boeing so on the heels

we've got good all American pot baseball with our River Dogs.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
We're recovering this morning's top stories form our FBI director
James Comy is receiving criticism for a social media post
some say calls for the assassination of President Trump. The
post included a photo of seashells on the beach arranged
to form the numbers eighty six forty seven. The post
faced criticism from Trump administration officials, with Homeland Security Secretary
(11:09):
Christy Nomes saying Comy was calling for the assassination of
President Trump. The number eighty six is occasionally used as
a slang term for getting rid of someone or something,
while forty seven was interpreted as a reference to Donald
Trump's status as the forty seventh president. In a post
on Xnome said DHS and the Secret Service are investigating
(11:30):
the threat Comy has since taking the post down. Telsea
Gabbart also said they're going to investigate.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Now I do. I did come across the clip, and
I can pull it up here where she goes off
about that, because it was the first I'd kind of
heard about it, and I'm like, wait a second, why
would what did it stand for? James Comy like, what
was that?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Well, he's playing stupid and says he knew it was
some sort of political message, but he didn't know what
it meant. Is what his excuse was. Wow, that guy
is so irritating.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
He is slimy. He would I'd lost all respect any
with which you know, I might have had for this man.
When he stood at a podium and said all the
ways that Queen Clinton ought to be charged with crimes
wiping my server with a cloth or something, and then
said Chuo won't be charged. I lost all recept for
him then, but this is really a new low.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
He's annoying. He has that earnest look on his face
like he's so above everybody. He's just an honest FBI
law man. But he's not. He's a jerk. And he
knew what eighty six forty seven meant. He was the
head of the FBI. And anybody that works in food
and dove knows what eighty six means. Hey, eighty six,
(12:39):
what does that mean? Means to get rid of it?
Kill it? And there's actually a movement with T shirts
and other you know, bumper stickers and stuff like that
that says eighty six forty seven.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
All right, So here's a Tolsey Gabbert on Fox talking
about take a listening.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Especially coming from a guy who's the former director of
the FBI, a guy who spent most of his career
prosecuting mobsters and gangsters, people who know and execute other humans,
and use this exact lingo of eighty six.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, he knew what it was, and now he wants
to play stupid in Koy never liked him, never will,
and he's part of the whole corrupt FBI. By the way, in.
All of those people during that era were Robert Muller.
You read back on some of the stuff they did,
especially out of Boston. I even read a book on it.
(13:33):
Whitey Bulger in that whole case and how they're White
Bulger's getting away with murder while he's an FBI informant
and he's using the FBI. So he's almost like a
what do you call it a double spy or what's
the term for it when somebody's double agent? Yeah, double agent.
So he's playing on both sides, you know, with Robert
(13:54):
Muller on one side in the FBI, and that all
of this stems Outrobert Muller's FBI and then James Comy
rises to the top.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Look how far he's fallen. I mean, what does it
take for you to be spelling this out in the
sand in seashells? The whole thing is disturbing. Do you
think anything's really going to happen? Though?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Well, I don't know if he spelled it out. He
claims he just stumbled across it.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh, but felt compelled to share it.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
No.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I think you know they're going to use it for
political fodder and it'll go away eventually. But it shows
you what a jerk he is. Like I said, news
headlines and the talk you need.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Plays on

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Hey, thanks for being with us on this Friday morning.
Maybe you have big plans for the weekend, or maybe
you're just going to relax. Either way, hopefully it's a
good one for you. So men are twice as likely
to die from what's called broken heart syndrome compared to women.
New research out of the University of Arizona looked at
what's officially called to cut so bo cardi ow myopathy.
(15:08):
I'm sorry, I don't mean a lot so anyway. This
is a condition brought on by extreme stress or emotional distress.
It can lead to shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and
other cardiovascular symptoms. After looking over four years of data,
researchers found the condition was fatal for men eleven percent
of the time, compared with only five percent of the
(15:29):
time for women. The reason for the discrepancies aren't fully understood.
Researchers suggest it might be related to hormonal differences. So,
you know how you make a hormone.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You're Okay, so kudos to you for attempting that. What
is it to katsu bo cardio to.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Cut takatsu bo cardi? Oh, myopathy?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
We all know cardio myopathy. But so well this, Yeah,
you guys, sadly you have a shorter lifespan than we
as ladies, right, so you just on average tend to
pass away earlier than women. And you know, what I've
noticed in my life is when the wife, you know,
dies first, men seem to die real soon after. I mean,
(16:21):
do you not notice that in your own life? Your
own life experiences sometimes and then I mean for me,
it's been sort of the case it seems as if
if the woman dies first, the guys are close behind.
You know, all of this is sad. And my dad
used to say, we all die of a broken heart.
And I mean, in the at the end of the day,
(16:42):
that's the truth in that our heart stops. But boy,
what a sad study here.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah. Well, I mean it's the human condition, all right.
So I mean it's tough if you lose somebody you love. Well, yeah,
but it's not only having them dying, right, it's uh
just separation. It's a you know, if you're h I
think it comes down to stress is what it comes
(17:13):
down to. Probably.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, it's interesting they throw hormones in here too.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Mm well, because that stress might affect men and women
differently because of hormones. I don't know. That's my take
on it. I'm no doctor.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
It's just kind of funny when you're you know, with
your loved one for a long time. You know, say
you've been married for decades and decades and decades, You've
had a whole life together, and that, you know, the
constant joke is like, you're gonna put me in my grave. Woman,
You're gonna you know, whether it's the man or the woman,
like you're killing me, you know kind of thing. And
in the end, in the end, it all that stress
(17:50):
is what kept you alive. No, none that I tried
to put a nice bitch now exist side is going
to come out here we go.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Figures a woman would say that, no, that's not what
that stress is, not what kept you alive. It's literally
what kills them. And so there's a grain of truth
when they're like, woman, you're going to kill me?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
No, Well, I we can look at it both ways.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Why do you think men die sooner than women?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well, and have a scientific factors as to why you
cannot blame a woman on that.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I'm saying, well, it's stress, right, and stress kills.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
But in this story, it's quite literally saying that you
know with her being gone, that the stress of her
being gone is what kills.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
So anyway, No, it's a condition brought on by extreme
stress or emotional distress.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Right, So, I mean sauce of hers too much to
bear and your heart is broken, you get her from
and you die. Men or twice as likely to die
from a broken heart compared to women.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It sounds to me like affirmation of what I just said,
that the stress gets them and not as much as
it does women. And maybe it's a hormonal difference why
there's that different reaction, or maybe it's just that display
we had right there where women are giving men a
hard time.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Oh here, okay, Wow, it's always had. It's going to
be our fault, just like it's always going to be yours.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Exactly I had to go there. But anyway, I mean,
this is not you know, some woman leaving a man.
That's not what the research is. It's a condition brought
on by extreme stress or emotional distress of course, that
can happen if you know, if you if your loved
one dies or breaks up with you, or whatever the
case might be.
