phil mccorey, good to have you here. here today, gone tomorrow. but today it s here today, gone tomorrow with hair. it s hair? 100% human hair. mike: i could use it here. cut you off a piece. mike: lovely. so where does the hair come from and how did you get this idea? well, the idea is from the prince william sound oil spill, observing the otters in the water. i took care of homes and i created oil spill in the kitty pool and got gallon of used oil out of the water the two minutes. mike: wow! you are going to pour oil. we created so many oil spills i lost count of how many we created. i m stepping back. i decided. i ll be careful. mike: so far by the end of the show i ll have an oil change instead of clothing change. this is hair. talk about a new way to say he has a rug on. it looks like carpet.
mike: what do you want to say, john? tell us, c mon. i want to say they are working hard to gather up that oil. in fact, this weekend, they will be putting a new cap on one of the controlling type caps and they feel very positive that they are going to be able to capture more of the oil and get it more under control. that s their major emphasis right now. mike: john will be with us the whole show and he will give us his expert opinion on products like this. they say that hay is for horses. as you know, it s also for oil clean-up. coming up, we will speak to people who say it can work. we re going to show you exactly how. we ll be right back. health mart pharmacies are locally owned our pharmacists combine expert knowledge and personal attention. no wonder jd power and associates ranked health mart highest in customer satisfaction. see if you live in a health mart town
mike: let s just see. oh, that s gross. it look like i m in a hersh hershey s bar right now. okay. rub through there? yeah. mike: gosh i hope this works or else it will be a really no oily residue. mike: okay. let me go out here to the audience and see if anyone will shake my hand. [ laughter ] you feel any oil? i feel none. mike: none. [ laughter ] brave man! [ applause ] so this is a simple type of product that is biodegradable. fully organic. once you can scoop up the oil, the compound out of the oil, you can squeeze the product, recycle 70% of the oil and the compound can be reused ten times to pick up more oil. mike: wow! we re going to look at another product here. this is some product that is made from beeswax.
two weeks later, the oil is gone. you don t come back, you don t clean up anything, you spray it with the aeroapplication or hydro seedler or spray it and forget about it. works on plants, water, wetlands and has been around mike: it doesn t hurt the fish or wildlife. when it s done working it s fish food. mike: john, you have seen the product. tell me is this again a usable product you could see being employed? yeah. mike: in the gulf? yeah. i think it has application. i think both the product beforehand that you showed and this have applications. whether it can be applied in open seas and that sort of thing is something to be seen but exciting technology. mike: all right. we are out of time in the segment. we have a lot more coming up. they knew the oil was coming and they acted fast. i want you to meet the community that came together to save the shores. joining them next. we ll be right back.
carpet fibers, something that care is behind. care wants you to not throw carpet scraps from the motel rooms and hotel rooms and whatnot in the landfill because it takes forever for it to biodegrade. we take it and send it and have it air laid into product that can actually go in the water. get the oil, do some cleaning. under the water, on the bottom of the pan. beside the pan. rock, shore, duck, bird, crab. it doesn t matter. it doesn t want the oil. mike: the water pours out of it. this looks simple. should we employ this on the gulf? yes, sir. mike: why aren t we? i think the only emphasis is trying to kill the well and trying to shut it off. i don t see any reason this can t be mike: i don t either. this is one of those this
