Bill Bubba Bussey

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to Bubba on the Lake. I'm your semi-retired, mostly washed-up host, formerly of the Rick and Bubba Show, Bill Bubba Bussey. I want to take just a minute before we start today And say a special thank you for all of the very kind emails, texts, comments on various social media about the first episode and being back out there, so to speak. Very, very thoughtful.

Very, very kind. And Betty and I both were very much touched by it. Thank you. That did mean a lot. And we appreciate it. As a matter of fact, there's somebody sending another one right then. It's the gift of encouragement. We talked a little bit about it. It's very important. And some of you have a gift for it. And we really, really appreciate it.

All right, I want to get right into what's going on. This week, as we're recording this podcast, we set the clocks forward again as we sprang forward. We lost an hour. And this thing, we have ranted about this for, gosh, 40 years now. And to no good. We're still tampering with the clocks twice a year. And to me, it's just an absolute no-brainer.

I want to stay on daylight savings time year-round, period. I don't mind the sun being up at 830. I do mind being in total darkness at 430 in December. I've mentioned this many times before, but just to recap. We are the easternmost state in Central Time Zone. So in December, it gets dark at 430. I have relatives that live in Texas. I have spoken with them.

Doesn't get dark there in December to 630, which is totally acceptable because the seasons cause more and less light anyway. But there are people that don't like this idea, apparently. I don't know who they are. I run into one every now and then. But even President Trump called it a 50-50 issue. So I want to bring this forward.

In the art of negotiation, why don't we move it forward 30 minutes, call it even, and never change the clock again? Anyone? Anybody? Anybody on board with that? We can work this out. Matter of fact, there's more votes coming in as we speak. I really don't know why it's doing that or how. Trying to find that button. I'm not even sure what's beeping in here now.

But couldn't we just land on that 30 minutes, split the difference, we'll call it even. Uh, if we're not going to get a win, really the win to me is not the time, even though I hate being dark at four 30 in December, it's changing the clocks twice a year. A lot of the clocks change themselves now, and that is just dandy, but there's a lot of them that don't.

And a lot of them apparently at my house are in difficult places to get to and require ladders. So it's just it takes you a year or an hour, I should say, twice a year to get all these things set. And look, folks, there's more to this than we just think it's a bad idea. Everybody kind of gets that feeling when you change the clock.

And there's a reason if you look at the stats and there's a lot of studies on this. But I will say the middle of the road is that when we lose an hour, when we lose an hour in the fall, heart attack, strokes, and other ailments that send you to the emergency room goes up by 24%. Okay? Heart attack, strokes, those kind of things, 24% increase. Okay? the day after we tamper with the clock.

In the spring, when you would add an hour the other time of the year, you actually have 21% less problems at the emergency room. So, when you, I'm even confused now, are we spring forward? In the fall, we fall back, we lose an hour. In the fall, the problem actually goes down 21%. See how confusing it is? It's just a nightmare.
