Now, Auto-Lite and its 60,000 dealers and service stations present... Suspense! Auto-Lite brings you Miss Betty Grable in... The Copper Tea Strainer. A suspense play produced and directed by Anton M. Lieder. Friends, even a camel can't compete with an Auto-Lite stay-full battery because an Auto-Lite stay-full battery needs water only three times a year in normal car use. Yes, sir, that dandy, dynamic, dependable Auto-Lite stay-full battery needs water only three times a year in normal car use. An Auto-Lite stay-full battery has extra plates, too, for extra power, protected by fiberglass insulation for longer life and stronger life. Why, in recent tests conducted according to the Society of Automotive Engineers Life Cycle Standards, Auto-Lite stay-full batteries gave 70% longer average life than batteries without all these features. So, remember, be battery right. Switch to Auto-Lite. And now, Auto-Lite presents Betty Grable in a tale well-calculated to keep you in... Suspense! I was in the 2x4 dressing room changing into my street clothes. It was raining, beating down on the low skylight like a fury. It made such a racket that I didn't hear a thing. Until a buzzer rang and the outer door opened. The first I heard your voice, I was sorry for you.  You'd be surprised if I ever told you, but I wasn't frightened at all when you spoke to Irwin. You, the photographer who runs this place? I'm James Irwin and this is my photo agency, yes. Do you have some work to do? I got work to do. Is there a name named Jeannie Dunn here, Irwin? When you said my name, I got a little scared without knowing why. I'd been modeling a sun suit and I was cold anyway. Irwin was never a guy to pay for decent heating. Now I got cold way inside and my fingers trembled as I tried to zip my dress. I leaned against the partition to try and hear better, but the rain was too loud. I couldn't figure out why I was so jittery. I was blank. I couldn't remember what had happened all day or yesterday. But I knew you were dangerous to me and I had to find out why. I opened the door a crack to hear better. Oh, Jeannie's posed for me for the past five years of an army. Say, why don't you wait until she gets dressed and ask yourself? Any pictures ever handy? Say, who was- Easy, easy. This is police business. Oh. And that was all it took to make Irwin dangerous, too. Then he was against me.   She's really stacked, isn't she, Cat? But if she's done anything wrong, don't worry. I'll tell you all I can't believe it. I'll cooperate. I believe you. You're the type. I couldn't stay out of sight any longer. I slipped into my shoes and stepped out from behind the door. Jeannie's done. What do you want, mister? I want to find out a few facts. You live with your mother, don't you? Sure. The old lady's an invalid. Hey, what happened?  I'm talking to Miss Dunn. She's got a boyfriend, too.  Get out of the room.   Okay, all right. Thanks for that, anyhow. But look about Ted Ward. If it's anything you're trying to pin on Ted, then Irwin's right. I won't talk. No. I didn't mention that name, did I? Ted wouldn't do a thing. Nothing wrong. What time do you usually leave home for work, miss? About eight, if it's any of your affair. Yes, I'm afraid it is. Could you be more specific? Describe your routine, say, this morning, for example? This morning. I've had such a headache all day. I really don't know about this morning. Actually, I can't remember. Most mornings, I get up about 6.30 and fix breakfast.  My friend, Mr. Irwin, told you. My mother's not well. She stays in bed until noon. And you leave her breakfast ready for her? That's right.  Has she, miss? No. I leave her teak up on the kitchen table with the tea measured out in a strainer ready to pour hot water through. Now, mister, you'd better tell me what... How long have you been going with this fellow? What's his name, Ted? A year or so, but... How old are you? I'll beg your pardon, miss. 30. About 30. You plan to marry him? Why, yes, as soon as... Well, as soon as possible. What, with supporting your mother? Excuse me. The price is nowadays. The dollar don't go far. You'd better take care of that call, mister. Oh, thank you. Are your mother and Ted work friendly? You'd better take care of that cold. I repeated that stupidly so as not to hear your questions. Then I stared at something you fished out of your coat pocket. I felt the arteries jumping on the sides of my neck. You were looking at my neck. Maybe I could ask you some time if that was a tip-off you learned by studying people like me.  It sparkled like a... a jewel. Only it wasn't any more a jewel than any of the junk on my bureau. It was a common tea strainer made out of bright, new copper. You watched me and spun the thing by the handle between your finger and thumb. I couldn't stop looking at the shiny wire and mesh like a net. Well, miss, what do you say? Are your mother and Ted work friendly? Suddenly my mind cleared. Everything I'd managed to block out came back. Everything. There was no more escaping the past. Or you...  Put that thing away! Get it out of my sight! Suspense? Auto-light is bringing you Betty Grable in radio's outstanding theater of thrills. Suspense. Here's to go on tonight. I'm hurt.  The sponsor won't let you talk about his product. I'll tell you half, they inhibit my artistic expression. I want to sling wonderful words about my personal experience with auto-light stay full batteries. And all they'll let me say is, not auto-light stay full battery needs water only three times a year in normal car use. Yup, needs water only three times a year in normal car use. Well, that's important.  Folks want to know those things, Harlow. Maybe so. And in recent tests conducted according to the society of automotive engineers, life cycle standards, auto-light stay full batteries did give 70% longer average life than batteries without all these features. Well, now, Harlow, folks should be told those facts. No, maybe you're right, half. Maybe I shouldn't be angry. Maybe I should put in a commercial right here. Oh, it's too late, Harlow. Here's suspense. And now, auto-light brings back to our Hollywood soundstage Betty Grable as Genie in The Copper Tea Strainer. A tale well-calculated to keep you in suspense.  I did, Mr. Detective. At the side of the tea strainer you kept spinning between your fingers. A cold blackness paralyzed me and our two voices seemed to be coming from a great distance. My stomach felt sick. It set me with questions and I fought with all my will to keep from giving dangerous answers. The rain banged louder on the skylight. A flood lamp sputtered out. And my breathing quieted down.  Yes, yes, I told you. Where did you get that tea strainer? The five and dime store. Why, miss? Nothing.  Why didn't you ask me that before, too? I wasn't sure. But the word started in memories flashing through my mind like jumping movie scenes.  But you couldn't see into my memory. The nagging clatter of my alarm clock at home was waking me one morning. Any morning except today. The others were all alike for the last ten years. Right, you devil!  Another day. Yes, mother. Sleep well? I'm always in pain, you know that, dear. If you're up, you could rub my back a while before you have breakfast, dear. Yes, mother.  Well, I lie here in pain. Oh, I'm not complaining. It's just... Yes, mother.  My medicine, oh yes, indeed. And, Jean, don't forget to have the prescription refilled. It's getting low and I can't bear the day without... I'm sure there's plenty, mother. I'll get it for you now. When I wish you would. I don't know how... I went into the bathroom while mother kept droning on and on. The bottle was almost empty. Mother, you haven't been taking more than you should have this, have you? Don't be absurd. You heard the doctor say that my medicine, more than one capsule a day, is poised. Talked and talked, accusing me of being careless with her medicine and neglecting her. She said if it hadn't been for me, she would still be on the stage and famous. But I realized she was in pain and unhappy and some mornings I was afraid all of my strength would be drained before I could get away from her, especially when she hopped on Ted and me getting married. Dear, don't be angry, but I simply must ask whether you're serious with your young man this time. After all, Jean, in the past years, there were several young men I certainly thought she were going to become engaged to. And every single one lost interest. Oh, Mother. Oh, yes, they did. You can't deny it. At your age, dear, a good has to consider her future. Now, that young man, William, something, he surely wanted to marry you and he had a bit of money too.  Was it anything you might have told him? You're trying to use me to excuse your own shortcomings, dear. What on earth, how could I scare away any of your young men? When I was on the stage, young men used to flock around me like bees. And now your Ted certainly thinks well enough of me to bring me flowers and look at my scrapbooks, even if my own daughter doesn't. I wonder how long that will go on. When will you ask him whether he thinks the daughter has the right to let a helpless old invalid die alone? Horrible, horrible girl. Have you asked him that already? After the sacrifices I've made for you, ruining my own health, destroying my youth and my career, so that you would have the best from life. Oh, mother. Perhaps the easiest way for both of us would be for me to not try and hang on to this mortal coil any longer, to close my eyes and never wake up. He used death as a weapon against me many times. I felt weak and nauseated, but I was certain she was bluffing. And I would rush out with no breakfast and a panic to feel the healthy life of the city around me and lose myself in the traffic and crowds. A rotten deal, isn't it, miss? Huh? Honest, I'm interested in you and Ted Walker. You serious about each other? What are you getting at, mister? What's happened? I have a right to know. You two really in love? You paid no attention to my panic. You kept prodding me with that question and twirling the tea strainer. Faster now, it seemed to me. Was I really in love with Ted? I couldn't have answered even if I'd wanted to. How can you tell a stranger your dreams? Miss, tell me. Exactly what's the matter with your mother? What treatment is she getting? That was funny. Ted asked almost the same question last night. You'd give a lot to know about last night. But you'll never get a word out of me. If you had seen Ted and me last night, you wouldn't have had to ask if we were in love.  And Ted took me to a little neighborhood bar where they have a jukebox and postage stamp dance floor. We were dancing crowded in like cigarettes in a pack. How about a kiss, baby? Ted, not right here in public. Nobody here but us, Jeannie. Us and the mob. Anyway, it's just as crowded at zeroes. They tell me. Well, we'll get to the ritzy places some day, baby. We got it coming to us. Oh, darling, you make it sound real sometimes. You stick it out a little longer, baby, and it will be real. Just trust me. There's always ways. Sure. A million bucks. Yeah, a million would help, wouldn't it? Oh, forget the gloom, honey. Uh, your feet had enough of my dancing. Uh-uh. You want another beer, you mean? Well, there is a booth.  Ted, Ted, don't start a fight. Come on. I should have poked him. Maybe you'll tame me down, baby. Here, sit next to me, huh? I don't want to reform you, darling. It's not that.  Oh, baby, I... I don't know the words like you do. How can I tell you? You don't have to tell me in words, darling. I want to, though. Somehow I want you to know I... I love you, Ginny.  We could be so happy together. Together? Yeah, that's what we both want more than anything else in the world, isn't it, baby? Ted, what's the matter? Huh? Matter? Oh, there's nothing the matter. I'm just figuring things out. What do you folks have? What? Oh, uh, what'll it be, honey? Beer's fine. Uh, two beers, huh? Come on up. Then we'll have to be leaving. I promise Mrs. Grogan I'd get home by midnight. Oh, baby, you promised me we'd make a night of it. I'm sorry, Ted. But Mother was worse this evening before I left. Ginny, what really ails you, Mother? The doctor has a long list. She's pretty bad off. Nothing's bad enough for her to keep you chained on like a slave. Ted, tell me the truth. Has she gotten to you with her...her talk? Oh, honey, don't... Ted, please, I want the truth. Well, I bring her flowers and try to win her over, Ginny, but it's no soap. She says, what do I want to do? Kill her by taking you away from her? She said that, huh? She did. I'm glad I know that. I'm glad I know that for sure. Look, maybe it's because she's so sick. Maybe...maybe she's not getting the right treatment. Say, what is the doctor giving her? Some stuff and capsules, mixed with strictening. Strictening? Right. That's poison. Yes, she has to be very careful. You, uh, need a prescription for that, don't you? Uh-huh. Here, I'll show you the prescription. I have it somewhere in my handbag. Oh, here. Yeah, my Latin sort of rusty. Excuse me, Ted. I'll freshen up and we'll go. Be right back. Okay, baby. The mirror in that dingy little powder room was cracked and clouded, but I could see my own face all too clear as I tried to dab on some rouge.  I tried to remember how I looked ten years ago when I had the screen test. I was Garbo and Dietrich, only younger, the director said. It was then my mother started getting sick and needing me. I looked into the mirror and saw my strange, pinched face. That was when the whole plan formed in my mind, as I stared into that cloudy mirror. Excuse me, miss. You better take care of that comb. Yeah, thanks. Now tell me, didn't Ted Walk ever blame your mother? Did he ever say that she stood in the way of your marriage? I never told you any such thing. Ted wouldn't have done it. Then what, miss? Mother's dad, isn't she? You're not very subtle. Why else would the police persecute me? She's dead.  No, no. You keep putting words into my mouth. Maybe she was worried about being in the way. Would your mother have been likely to have... Mother suffered night and day. I suppose that's why she acted so depressed. The tea would have been... What tea? Leave me alone, please!  Because she didn't want to be a burden any longer? Yes. Yes, that's what must have happened. But I lied. You led me into that lie. And then because I couldn't help myself, I relived the most terrible day of my life. A day I'll never confess to you or to anyone on earth. I woke up this morning with a headache. The pain running deep back of my eyes. I had a feeling of dread with the thought of last night in the mirror. Are you awake, dear? Yes. Then did you get my prescription filled as I asked you to? No, but there's plenty. Well, out later than usual last night, weren't you, dear? I don't mind for myself, but it isn't in position on Mrs. Grogan. Oh, your young man's such a man.  But I didn't hear her. I seemed to be moving in a strange world, all my own as I dressed and went into the kitchen. Sounds lost their familiar proportions and the sharp tinkle of tableware hurt my ears as I went about setting the table. When I put a teacup in its regular place in the center of the faded blue cloth, the spoon fell against the saucer. It was like a foul, rasping a slate in my ears. I ran from the kitchen to get the medicine bottle from the cabinet. There were only two capsules left. My heart was pounding. Only enough for two normal doses. Not enough for... I yanked my coat on and ran out the front door. I hadn't planned on this. I ran all the way to the corner drugstore. Is your ma bad off? No. Well, yes. Her prescription has run out. Having this unexpected job to do. I knew the medicine bottle had plenty the day before. I thought I must be going crazy. I'd known Mr. Harmon since I was a kid, his patient, wise-in-face and celluloid eye-shade. But I found no comfort in him now. Very young lady, I asked you twice for your prescription. Huh?  No, no. You sit down at the fountain, my dear. I'm not supposed to, of course, without a prescription, but I'll make up those capsules anyway. In the meantime, lemon, syrup and soda. Remember how you love that when you were a little pigtail tyke? I think I cried then. I scarcely was conscious as I hurried home. I took a drink of whiskey in the kitchen, gagging on it. Gene, where did you rush out to? I answered her while I struggled. Don screwed the cap from the medicine bottle. I took four capsules and emptied them into the tea strainer. I emptied two more to be positive. On the bottle's label it said, warning, no more than one capsule in any one 24-hour period. Be careful. And put two spoons of sugar in my cup, dear. It was too bitter yesterday. Did you hear me, Gene? I hear you. It was careful, all right. Three heaping spoons instead of two to hide the bitterness. A double measure of black tea carefully. Very carefully over the white pottery stuff in the strainer. And it was hidden completely. I left the tea kettle whistling on the electric plate. Ready for mother. I didn't see mother again. I left the apartment half running all the way downtown to the studio in the rain. Everyone was crabbing as soon as I walked in. Oh, good morning, Duchess. All right, hop in your sun suit now and make it snappy. And make up for black and white. What's the excuse today? Have to go to a funeral or something? I did it, he said, silently and got through a series of poses. My mind had gone blank and I struggled to keep that way. Numb. All I knew was I muscled up myself, remember. Keep busy and blank. And that's the way it was when you came in and asked me questions.  He released my memories but I told you nothing of the scenes you conjured up in my mind. I told you nothing.  You're not telling the truth, Miss. But the odd thing is you're closer to the truth than you realize.  I didn't.  What? She'd been hoarding them. Perhaps because she brooded she was a burden. No. But, Miss, your mother never would have taken those capsules the hard way in a cup of tea. There was the flaw in your lie, wasn't it now? What? Your friend Ted Warke got a hold of your mother's prescription. Maybe he took it from your purse. That doesn't matter. Oh, no. No. No, no. I'm afraid I must place you under arrest, Miss Dunn.  You said... You said... No, no.   He brought her flowers and some more medicine. Oh, no. Not Ted. He couldn't have done. No. No. You lie. So your mother never had a chance to use the overdose she had hidden? No. You lie.  Because as soon as he arrived, he made the mistake of accepting your mother's hospitality. He drank a special cup of tea. Half of it, anyhow. Enough.  I'm arresting you for the murder of Ted Warke. Thank you, Betty Grable, for a wonderful performance. Well, Hono, all over you're mad at the sponsor? No half, you know I never hold a grudge. In fact, I like to talk about auto-light-stay-full batteries. I like to tell people an auto-light-stay-full battery needs water only three times a year in normal car use. I like people to know auto-light-stay-full batteries are made by auto-light, which makes more than 400 products for cars, trucks, airplanes and boats in 28 auto-light plants from coast to coast. Yes, and auto-light also makes complete electrical systems for many makes of America's finest cars. Batteries, spark plugs, generators, starting motors, coils, distributors. All engineered to fit together perfectly, work together perfectly because they're a perfect team. So folks, don't accept electrical parts that are supposed to be as good. Ask for and insist on auto-light original factory parts at your neighborhood service station, car dealer, garage or repair shop. Remember, you're always right with auto-light. Again as our star, Miss Betty Gravel. I want to thank Tony Leder and his wonderful cast of actors for helping me to make my first suspense visit so pleasant. I'm a suspense fan from way back and I'm sure all of you are as anxious as I am to hear next week's show when Mickey Rooney appears in the Cornell Woolrich story, The Lie. It's another truly gripping study and... Suspense! Betty Gravel appeared through the courtesy of 20th Century Fox Film Corporation and will soon be seen in the technical picture The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend. Tonight's suspense play was written by John T. Copeland with music composed by Lucian Morrowek and conducted by Lud Bluskin. The entire production was under the direction of Anton M. Leder. In the coming weeks suspense will present such stars as Bob Hope, Claire Trevor, James Stewart and many others. So make it a point to listen each Thursday to suspense. Radio's outstanding theater of thrills. And next Thursday, same time, hear Mickey Rooney in... The Lie. You can buy auto-light stay-full batteries, auto-light resistor spark plugs, auto-light electrical parts at your neighborhood auto-light dealers. Switch to auto-light. Good night. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.


Ukrainian official. War is moving to Russian territory. Let them understand what war means. War is moving to Russian territory. Let them understand what war means. The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Alexei Danilov, told Radio Liberty. He said that Moscow must also suffer from war. Ukrainian children, women and the elderly are constantly living in shelters due to enemy attacks. Let the other party feel uncomfortable in their own homes in Moscow. According to Danilov, this is fair. More pressure should be put on the other side. He said that the Ukrainian counter-offensive is difficult, but Ukraine's defenders are advancing every day. The counter-offensive is difficult, but every day we are making progress in order to liberate all territories. Danilov noted that the counter-offensive is a very complex operation, but is taking place according to the approved plan. If someone thought that the counter-offensive would be some kind of walk in the park and we can immediately achieve the goals we set ourselves, including the liberation of all our territories, then keep in mind that the enemy is powerful. The enemy has a certain system of defensive and protective structures that it has built there, he added. Danilov said Ukraine's armed forces offensive is taking place in such a way as to keep as many Ukrainian soldiers alive and unharmed as possible.


An official International Society of Sports Nutrition position paper covering keto diets notes the ergolytic effects of keto diets on both high and low intensity workouts. Ergolytic is the opposite of ergogenic. Ergogenic means performance boosting, whereas ergolytic means athletic performance impairing. For non-athletes, ketosis may also undermine exercise efforts. Ketosis was correlated with increased feelings of perceived effort and fatigue and mood disturbances during physical activities, suggesting that the ability and desire to maintain sustained exercise might be adversely impacted in individuals adhering to ketogenic diets for weight loss. I already mentioned the shrinkage of measured muscle size among crossfit trainees, so a ketogenic diet may not just blunt the performance of endurance athletics, but strength training as well. Half people do 8 weeks of all the standard upper and lower body training protocols, bench press, pull-ups, squats, deadlifts, and no surprise, you boost muscle mass. Unless you're on a keto diet, in which case, there was no significant change in muscle mass after all that effort. Those randomized to the non-ketogenic diet added about 3 pounds of muscle, whereas the same amount of weightlifting on the keto diet tended to subtract muscle and have its loss of about 3.5 ounces of muscle. How else could you do 8 weeks of weights and not gain a single ounce of muscle but on a ketogenic diet? Even keto diet advocates call bodybuilding on a ketogenic diet an oxymoron. What about bone loss? Sadly, bone fractures are one of the side effects that disproportionately plague children placed on ketogenic diets, along with growth stunting and kidney stones. Ketogenic diets may cause a steady rate of bone loss, as measured in the spine. Presumed to be because ketones are acidic, and so keto diets can put people in what's called a chronic acidotic state. Some of the case reports of children on keto diets are truly heart-wrenching. One 9-year-old girl seemed to get it all, osteoporosis, bone fractures, kidney stones, and then she got pancreatitis and died.  A single high-fat meal can cause a quintupling of the spike in triglycerides in your bloodstream within hours of consumption, which can put you at risk for inflammation of the pancreas. She had a rare genetic disorder called glucose-transporter deficiency syndrome, where you're born with a defect in ferrying blood sugar into your brain. This can result in daily seizures starting in infancy, but a ketogenic diet can be used as a way to sneak fuel into their brains. So a ketogenic diet can be a godsend for the one in 90,000 families stricken with this disorder. As with anything in medicine, it's all about risks versus benefits. As many as 30% of patients with epilepsy don't respond to anti-seizure drugs, and the alternatives aren't pretty, including things like brain surgery. This can mean implanting deep electrodes through the skull or even removing a lobe of your brain. This can obviously lead to serious side effects, but so can having seizures every day. So if a ketogenic diet helps with seizures, the pros can far outweigh the cons. For those just choosing a diet to lose weight, though, the cost-benefit analysis would really seem to go the other way. Thankfully, you don't need to mortgage your long-term health for short-term weight loss. We can get the best of both worlds by choosing a healthy diet. Remember that study that showed that the weight loss after being told to eat the low-carb Atkins diet for a year was almost identical to those told to eat the low-fat Ornish diet? The authors concluded, this supports the practice of recommending any diet that a patient will adhere to in order to lose weight. That seems like terrible advice. There are regimens out there like the last chance diet, which evidently consisted of a liquid formula made from leftover byproducts from a slaughterhouse. That was linked to approximately 60 deaths. Well, it did promise to change people's lives. An ensuing failed lawsuit from one widower laid the precedent for the First Amendment protection for deadly diet books. It's possible to construct a healthy low-carb diet or an unhealthy low-fat diet. A diet of cotton candy would be zero fat, but the health effects of a typical low-carb ketogenic diet like Atkins are vastly different from a low-fat plant-based diet like Ornishes. Not only would they have diametrically opposed effects on cardiovascular risk factors in theory, based on fiber and saturated fat and cholesterol contents of their representative meal plans, when actually put to the test, low-carb diets were found to impair artery function. Over time, blood flow to the heart muscle itself is improved on an Ornish-style diet and diminished on a low-carb diet. Heart disease tends to progress on typical weight loss diets, actively worsen on low-carb diets, but may be reversed by an Ornish-style diet. Given that heart disease is the number one killer of men and women recommending any diet that a patient will adhere to in order to lose weight, seems irresponsible. Why not tell people to smoke? Cigarettes can cause weight loss too, as can tuberculosis and a good meth habit, but the goal of weight loss is not to lighten the load for your pallbearers.


Speaking of taking the opportunities when presented is your Peterson's not doing that. He's creating his own opportunities He's been incredible this year in the five Redskins wins He has over 90 yards in every single one of them He is carrying the ball as much as he ever has especially during his prime with Minnesota How has I once again Jim AP found the fountain of youth? I don't know I can assure you that I have no idea if I did know I probably would not be talking to you about fantasy football I'd be rich somewhere else and doing something else But I think that you know what you said is that the five wins That's the number that I want to focus on here is because this team is playing really good football It's giving Adrian Peterson extra volume. Yes. He is contributing to that because he's playing very well He is helping them get wins, but their defense is playing well Alex Smith is being smart at the football so they're not turning things over and that's leading to a ton of volume As you said 90 yards and five games this year He has had 24 or more carries three times and normally I Hate this type of running back especially at their price high Adrian Peterson $7,500 a week nine I hate this type of running back at that price tag But at the same time when you look at their schedule, there are a lot of interesting games ahead of them They've got at home against Atlanta with their rush defense has been terrible They're on the road against Tampa Bay just bench their quarterback Have a terrible defense there and at home against Houston whose defense has also struggled this year It's possible that the that the that Washington could fall behind in those games in which case Adrian Peterson will just disappear But those are defenses that he can probably run through which I think is super encouraging So I think when you look at Adrian Peterson He's probably not a guy I'll ever have in a cash game roster because if Washington falls behind early He is completely out of the game plan and that is a concern for me and I don't want running backs who are like that and I don't know if he's really a core play for tournaments because again The exact same risk there, but with the way he is playing with the way their defense is playing He's pretty much going to be worth tournament exposure Almost every week because he can have these big games where if Washington gets a lead They're just going to pound this guy into the ground So I don't think it's a cash gameplay yet to Adrian Peterson But I do think that the tournament viability continues to increase and I think at this point You just keep throwing tournament darts at him seeing what happens just in case Washington does get a lead because if they do You know exactly where the ball is going as long as the Redskins continue to win Adrian Peterson is going to continue to dominate He is one player that we should just never count out at this point He has solidified himself as an every week starter and a fendul. He's just priced so moderately that he's easy to get in there I absolutely love AP going forward completely agree with you Jim

The DL Debate with Sister Sarah's Laddercanny, serving food you'll love till 9pm daily in Sarah's Kitchen. And there's free admission entertainment every weekend. Welcome back once again, folks. I'm delighted to say I'm joining my county PRO, Sinead, Brain Sinead, out of the ashes of 2023 when there was turmoil to a level I have never seen before. We ushered in a new county board, yourself, of course, in their PRO, thanks to Mary Cawthon. And you can tell already, listen, I see bits and pieces of it there. There's a great vibe, a great working ethic now to get jobs done and promote the game. And how are you going to enjoy it? I'm enjoying it. Well, that's a question. I am living my best life as Mary Cawthon will tell you. Mary Cawthon, I suppose we are very much united. That's the first thing to say. And it's a breath of fresh air for the entire county. And to be honest, it's a breath of fresh air for me because this is what I've always wanted for years and years. When I wanted to get my chance in Donegal, GA, show them what I could do and show the ordinary people what I could bring to them. And Mary Cawthon is a fantastic chairperson. She's so dynamic. She expects us all to work. She knows there's not a whole pilot chance of holding me back to be fair. But she is incredible as a leader. She sets the bar so high herself, but she's phenomenal to work with. I don't think people get, you know, you look at where Mary Cawthon went in terms of her political career. I know from here in the Donnellow, involved with Charlie McConnell, the time and the effort. And it takes somebody with a serious brain for handling situations and bringing the best out of people. So she'd been doing that most of her life and now we're getting the benefits of that. We really are. Our county is so privileged to have a chairperson. And I am not looking up to Mary Cawthon to say she's the force to know that we would have had different political persuasions many years ago. And I couldn't be more united with the lady in what she's bringing to our county. It's absolutely incredible. She's putting in huge hours and more than myself and our fellow officers. But when I say we're united, we're very much united. We want to bring our county back. And we fully believe we are bringing our county back to where it should be. And it's an incredible opportunity for all of us. You know, we've chimed against back in. We've our horrors stronger than they've ever been. And it's a great place to be. We want to keep our county going. But we're not sitting on our laurels. We want to push on. There's an awful lot of work to do. We need to fundraise. We're in a precarious position and our treasurer has come in.  She's getting stuck in. She's getting on with her Grace Boyle. She's phenomenal as well. And we're lucky to have people like Mary and Grace in there getting stuck in to put our county back where it belongs. I was just trying to just burn there about the clothes, the way the season's gone, mad mental in terms of the teams and the games. Does that put a lot of pressure on you guys? Obviously it does. Because, you know, every week there's X amount of obviously preparation and games to get ready for. So if it's happening week on week, it'd just be a thing to be an odd break. We might get a bit of downtime. There's no downtime now. What is your week like? I suppose I can only speak for myself. The role, now I can compare this. I grew up the daughter of P.R.O. in Monaghan, who my mother had two spells as a P.R.O. in Monaghan. I now know what it was like then, but I suppose social media wasn't to the forefront like it is now. So there wasn't that whole workload. But I mean, the split season is absolutely relentless for a P.R.O. Now, as I say, I'm living my best life. I'm getting on with it. I'm doing what I need to do and I'm promoting everything that I can possibly promote. But I do feel it's very demanding given that we're volunteers. Mary Coplin, she must be sick looking at me. The two of us are absolutely everything. And Grace Boyle, you know, she is putting in huge, huge, huge efforts to Declan Martin, our county secretary. You know, it's very, very, very demanding. But I have to say, I'm actually really looking forward to the club aspect. And I have every intention of putting the same 110% effort into that when it comes around, you know, for championship. Obviously, we started our club games, our league games. And I had set up our website in time for that, which is what I wanted to do when I now it was held. Huge work in the new website. How does that go out? It was, when I say Helderskatter, it was Helderskatter. I suppose me, myself and I trying to, you know, work with a development company. And they were phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal LD design in OMA.  And I am forever grateful to them because I couldn't do what I have done and what I'm doing to give the ordinary people of our county what they want without those people. But I wanted the ordinary folk on the street, you know, anybody to be able to access our fixtures and they can do that now. As I say, it's a work in progress and it is a work in progress. I have a lot to add. The three ones are helping us out there. Of course, you haven't understand the man Chris down there has to tell a bit of the, as we always say, there's a background to this in terms of everybody has their way in.  So it's a tremendous amount of juggle. And I think what's coming across through it away from me, she said, did you actually love your GA woman? You're steeped in it and this side of things. I suppose it's, you know, it's a passion. So you're approaching it in a great way from the get go of getting things done. Listen, I suppose my husband met me when I was 18 and he knew that my aspirations were always to go as far as I could go in the GA. He proposed to me at the point where is Sean McKay, the force model and GA president ever entered into the county when he was. So my husband was under no illusions that it's the GA. We come as a package daily ticket or you leave it and that was it. He's a soccer head. Yes, I know. As you well know. Yeah, you played against him. But yeah, look at my kids. They know this is mommy's dream. And AJ will be 16 now on Thursday. Mikaela is 14. Chirin is nearly is nearly 13 and the boss baby Christopher, he has warned me to say hello to him. He's a little Christopher. I hope you're doing well. I'm hoping he's like nearly asleep. But anyway, I can keep on dreaming. But yeah, look at third. They're great. They know that this is mommy's dream and that I want to do me best for Johnny Gaul. And they know it's my adopted county. And I love it as much as I loved my own county growing up. And there's no difference to me. We move about. That's what we do. I mean, the more myself have been here there and everywhere. You mentioned Grace there, of course, Mary. I see you be Tanya a lot of games. You've a good work relationship as well. You've brought a wee bit of glam there as well. Yeah. Tanya Roberts Brown as CLG Nadunov. Look, she's one of my best friends. She's an integral part of what I do in that where I go, she goes. Crow Park last week. That was obviously one of the more glamorous elements of it. We have had an awful lot of less glamorous days out together. I wanted to go obviously for PRL a couple of years ago. I went two years ago and I was unsuccessful. And I don't regret being unsuccessful, I have to say. But when I was successful last year, it was a no-brainer. I wanted Tanya as part of my team. She is an incredible girl like myself. She is somebody that is a mammy to a child with different needs. We both have children with physical requirements. And we get each other 100 million percent and we support each other. To see Tanya announced as chairperson of the wheelchair, Komogi and Horlan committee in Crow Park today, I was absolutely overwhelmed to the girl. While I knew it was coming, it was incredibly special and I could not be more proud of that girl. And it is so, so befitting that she has this opportunity and I know she's going to take it and make it her own. Like she does with everything. Yeah. And Sinead, we were up at the press night the last night. Funny just talking to you. You know, I would see other people do this job and they would have did what they needed to do and they go home and they forget about it. Whereas you are actually embedded. Like I could have, I could talk to you for a couple of hours. I would say, hey, no problem. We have more time in terms of issues and tickets and the season and all that. But do you think, can we impact at a national level from our ideas here in terms of what I'm getting back from a lot of people is championship starting too early. It's too condensed now. We need a break to build up the championship. You know, people are on about the families going week on week. And you know, if we go on the group stages, all the games, Jim mentioned at the last night, do you think it does need still an overhaul? I do. I'd like to keep overhauling. I do. But you know, it's not right now. Anybody that thinks that I'm going to sit in the fence and sit and look pretty and say nothing, they don't know me. No, I couldn't have agreed with Jim again as more the other night when he says, I suppose the thing that resonated with me the most was Jim said that he's the father of six children. I'm one of six children. I grew up in a family where the GA was the be all and end all. Obviously, my parents were highly involved at different levels between club and county. And our family, the six of us grew up going to games. My sister, Gronja, she was taking to her first championship game when she was two weeks old. I didn't miss a championship game until I went to my honeymoon. When I was 21. So I mean, this is the level of, you know, dedication that you're taking on. I think we need to take a look at the grassroots. Yes, I do. I do think that. And I'm not criticizing people in Club Park. They all do a fantastic job. Do we need to patch that? How do you go about doing it? I know these things. Thanks for sharing up on that. See, there's a new one that all the hype is about. I have every belief in that. There are fantastic people put into that. And I have every belief that they will bring back what the grassroots want. But it's a process. Look, it's trial and error. Same as anything in life, it's trial and error. We have to try and work with it. But I do believe that we're going to get a happy balance. But we do need it. We need a happy medium. And listen, we have a great chairman. I was just mentioned, Jarvis Burns. You can see it there. Isn't great that people just talking to you how you can see his passion for it, you know. Which is, some of them chairman have met a few times and they've been so, so like they're not inspired. And we're Jarvis Burns. I suppose he resonated with me so much. I know he's only from over the road where I grew up. But Jarvis Burns, I suppose he mentioned two things. That he went to games and bangers the cars and that just described my upbringing right there in the centre. And then he mentioned Sean McCake who obviously was a huge influence on myself. But Jarvis Burns is one of us. He's an ordinary person that has achieved his dream. And I hope to follow in his footsteps someday. Albeit I'm a different gender. But I do hope to follow in his footsteps and he is a breath of fresh air. He's what our association needed. And I have every belief that he would do his utmost. So president, president someday is up to you. Please God, yeah. There you go, probably. But look, I've a lot of targets to hit on the way. But why not? Yeah, of course. You've got a dream big. I was born to be in the GA. And that's it. But at whatever level, I don't, it doesn't bother me, whatever level once a minute. I'll tell you what you were and it's absolutely refreshing. And as I say, I would love you to come in another night because of a yarn. As the championship goes on, I think maybe in between Ulster and the group stages of the championship we could get another talk because I would love to speak some more to you. But of course time runs out as ever. We have a wee outbreak to take just before we close. I want to thank Joe Dex for producing. She need to help me and you'll be heading for Derry soon for Celtic Park for the war. And Jimmy is inside. We're going to win too. And who's that other man there? There's a couple of top DJs there. Jimmy and Paul are waiting to get on folks. I'll speak to you in a couple of weeks. I'm away and hold these next week. I'll speak to you when I get back. For your week DG news stories and analysis, join me, Brendan Venne, this Monday and every Monday for the DL debate. This week I'll be joined by Chiefs Portrait with The Sun, Jason Byrne, plus County PRO, Sinead. Brain will be on the show and we'll have interviews from the Donegal senior football players and management as they look ahead to Ulster Championship. That's the DL debate. This Monday just have this...
