Hoover Dam

[laughs] No more student loans," um, that's when I di- I, I left GMA, jumped into the pool and I, and I landed really, really great at Scripps News, where, uh, I had some friends from ABC that said, "We need a weather guy.

We need someone that's not afraid to anchor out in the field." I didn't know what I was doing, but they're like, "Get out in the field and you're just doing live weather from the field." So because we didn't have a studio capacity yet, but we had the weather graphics, so you know, I would be live out at, uh, Hoover Dam talking about the great, you know, the, the, the huge drought, and then also doing the national weather from there.

So I had this reverse back ...

It's very strange.

This is mega.

What did the prime minister say? It's about the size of 10 Boulder dams.

It's going to create power for incredible amounts of people.

That was an accomplishment.

So the dam got built 1930, October 38, and Lake Havasu was formed.

Now, prior to that, of course, Hoover Dam was built in 1932, was completed in 32.

And the reason they put Hoover Dam in was for flood control almost entirely at first, because in 1905 and in 1907, Super floods came down the river from snow melt in the Rockies that melted too fast and other storms that took place, but just ravaged the whole corridor all the way down to Yuma.

And at Yuma, there's a diversion.

No diversions before then, but right there.

It was very quick, but Salton Sea is still there.

And so it's a very long lasting consequence of what happened there.

So Hoover Dam was built.

Try to give you good recommendations, things that are focused on Las Vegas Strip and Fremont Street, around Las Vegas Boulevard, events or things that are around the city.

So things like, you know, Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon, different fun experiences like horseback riding or anything kind of like along those natures.

Hiking, although I don't hike, but I do know the areas that people do like to hike.

But that's really what this podcast is for, is to help you plan your event for an anniversary, for a wedding, for bachelor, bachelorette parties, or just a good time on a weekend.

If you think you have those skills, you can give tours, you know, on studio lots, you could give tours of, you know, haunted house.

There's Hoover Dam tours a lot of the comedians do out here and make good money on tips.

If you think you're like an orator and you think you're funny and entertaining, that skill set can be applied to many actual jobs.

There are real...

You know, like the little thing you had in school.

And now they'll cut like a complex schematic of the Hoover Dam or something in there.

And you got to try and find your way out.

And they have

And then the neurons release those neurotransmitters through this process of vesicular fusion and release.

Those little beads, those little, you know, vesicles, the number of those vesicles in your brain are about the same number of grains of sand in the Hoover Dam.

Okay, the entire Hoover Dam, if you take the entire Hoover Dam and took every single grain of sand in the entire concrete building of that building, of that device, you would have that number of vesicles.

But people don't realize that the human brain operates at between 50 to 100 Hertz, which means 50 to 100 times per second, per second, the entire Hoover Dam breaks apart and reforms itself, breaks apart and reforms itself, okay? And it's not a zero to one event.

So now for a neurotransmission event to happen, what's called is a, it's called, I know we're getting in the weeds here, but it's kind of cool.

It's a action potential threshold.

As Doug Casey says, it's going to be like.

trying to drain Hoover Dam with a garden hose.

And we know when we look at all the historical comparisons, I don't care if you compare the commodity index to the S&P 500, the silver price, the gold price, any of these things, right? On a historic basis, we are like at one of the most undervalued, when you compare the gold mining stocks, the silver mining stocks, any of this stuff, right? On a historical basis, we are like crazy, crazy undervalued.

And there's no reason why we can't expect, right, that we can go back to those numbers that we hit in 1980 or even 2011, right, or even earlier in this year.
