1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: This is America's Trucking Network with Kevin Gordon Vulvaable.

2
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: Thanks for tuning in on this Tuesday morning, the first

3
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: show of December for America's Struck a network who says

4
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: nothing good happens after midnight. I hope everybody had a

5
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: fantastic Thanksgiving. We couldn't have had a better Thanksgiving in

6
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: the Gordon household if we tried. There were a couple

7
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: wrinkles along the way, but all in all, it just it.

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: You know when you go into something and you think

9
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: it's going to be a problem and then all of

10
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: a sudden, everything just kind of comes together.

11
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been I mentioned this last week.

12
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: It's been several years since we've hosted our Thanksgiving meal

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: with our family.

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Our son, who's a chef.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: A few years ago we pre play Endemic, decided that

16
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: he wanted to start doing it. When they moved back

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: from a facility he was managing a restaurant banquet facility

18
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: at a university and they came back to the area

19
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: they had been here. They moved over there, then came

20
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: back and wanted to start hosting Thanksgiving because they had

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: a little bit bigger house. They had a bigger dining room,

22
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: and plus they had some family friends of theirs that

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: they wanted to have over as well, so we beg

24
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: we kind of acquiesced to them having Thanksgiving. Now, there's

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: been a couple of years when about three years ago

26
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: they moved up to the Northwest and because I was

27
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: filling in for one of the shows, we couldn't get

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: up there, so we had a little Thanksgiving ourselves, and

29
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: so it's been kind of weird that we haven't really

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: hosted anything. But this year, with him being up in

31
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: the northwest Port part of Ohio, his daughter who is

32
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: still living down here, had to work at three o'clock.

33
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: I mean this I think last week, and so they

34
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: decided to come down here and then have Thanksgiving at noon,

35
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: which normally we in the past have always had it

36
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: around five o'clock in the afternoon, so that kind of

37
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: moved up the timetable and everything. So we decided to

38
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: just go ahead and have it here. And we had

39
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: it all planned out. I mean we began weeks before

40
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: kind of saying, okay, here's what we need to buy here,

41
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: made the list of all the ingredients and stuff that

42
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: we're going to purchase, and then kind of set out

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: a timetable of when we start on, like well dethawing. Well,

44
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: we didn't have to defaw the turkey because we actually

45
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: got a fresh turkey, an organic turkey this year, which

46
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: by the way, was seventy cents a pound less than

47
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: what we paid last year, which was kind of phenomenal.

48
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: But anyway, so we go ahead and order that and

49
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: then we didn't have to thaw it out, so we

50
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: didn't to add that to the timetable. We got some

51
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: of the stuff done over the weekend, desserts and some

52
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: of the things that we would normally have to you know,

53
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: has to sit around for a little while to firm up,

54
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 2: and the flavors gel and all that sort of stuff. Anyway,

55
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: so everything was working real fine, and so we had

56
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: planned on Wednesday. I had filled in on the morning

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: show for our sister station. I've got home at around

58
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock that Wednesday, eleven o'clock in the morning that Wednesday,

59
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: and we started saying, okay, we're going to get all

60
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: this stuff done. And originally we were thought thinking of

61
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: doing the turkey the night before, then wrapping it up

62
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: and then just heating it and up the next morning,

63
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: and I kind of came I kind of thought, no,

64
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to try that because it might get dry.

65
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: And we've never over.

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: The last thirty five years that we've done Thanksgiving, we've

67
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: never had a dry turkey, and I want to break

68
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: that string. So I figured, all right, Well, by the

69
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: time I finish atn that Thanksgiving morning and get home,

70
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: get a couple hours of sleep, maybe throw the turkey in,

71
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: you know, get all the stuffing and everything into it

72
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: by about starting about six o'clock in the morning, get

73
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: it in and start roasting it around seven o'clock in

74
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: the morning, because it takes about four four and a

75
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: half hours.

76
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: So I figured, okay, no problem.

77
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: So Wednesday afternoon, we're getting everything prepared and everything and

78
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: lo and behold, wouldn't you know that throw a monkey

79
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: wrench into it and we wind up we have a

80
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: toilet that decided that it was going to can you

81
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: say crap out?

82
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: Now? Well it stopped working.

83
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: There's just a little floatation device in there, flow mass

84
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: at whatever they call it there. Anyway, the float when

85
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: it's supposed to rise and then it cuts off the water. Well,

86
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: it cut off the water before it was actually filled

87
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: and it take maybe about five minutes for the toilet

88
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 2: of the tank to fill. So figured, okay, that's going

89
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: to get a little bit of use on Thanksgiving, so

90
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 2: I better go get I better replace that. And I thought, okay,

91
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: according to the instructions and everything, it's only going to

92
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: take about thirty minutes. I figured, well, since I'm not

93
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: really you know, I'm not a pro at this, I

94
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: don't do it every day, so I figured, okay, it's

95
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: going to take about an hour. So we began starting

96
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: to do this thing with the with the toilet, with

97
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: the back of the toilet, the tank and everything, and

98
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 2: lo and behold, I have to take and I have

99
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: to remove this cabinet that's around the toilet in order

100
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: to get to it, in order to get everything disassembled

101
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: out of the tank, and so I had to unattach

102
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: this thing from the wall, move it over, and so

103
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 2: then I get into the thing and find out, of course,

104
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: you know, obviously you're going to be missing a piece

105
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: or or something's going to break, and so then you

106
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: have to run up to the store and get that.

107
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: So this half hour project wound up being about four

108
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: hours long by the time I got the cabinet off,

109
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: got everything repaired, then reattached the cabinet and got it going.

110
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: So I kind of pushed this back a little bit.

111
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: So I figured, all right, my wife is busy getting

112
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: the desserts and everything ready Wednesday night, and so I figured, okay,

113
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,799
Speaker 2: no problem. When I get back from ATM doing the show,

114
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: I figured, well, just a couple hours of chopping, you know.

115
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: Put it aside. I had all the broth made the

116
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: night before, with the neck and cleaning the turkey, so

117
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 2: I had that already before I even did the show,

118
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: and so I figured, not a problem.

119
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: I'll just come home, do.

120
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: The chopping of the all the stuff for the stuffing,

121
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: get that all ready to go, go to bed for

122
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: a couple hours and get up and so anyway, that

123
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: a couple hours of chopping wound up taking me about

124
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 2: two and a half hours, so anyway, not much sleep.

125
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: But then we got I got up at six o'clock

126
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: and got everything ready, put some coffee on, and then

127
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 2: started stuffing. And from start to finish, by the time

128
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 2: you saw tay the onions, the celery and that, and

129
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: then put it in with the bread cubes and then

130
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 2: add the seasoning and all that sort of stuff and

131
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: then stuff the turkey. I figured that I've written my

132
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: notes down over the years and said, oh, that's going

133
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 2: to take you about an hour, And it took us

134
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: exactly an hour. So we got the turkey in at

135
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: seven thirty in the morning, and so I figured, all right, well,

136
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: going to be here to about eleven o'clock thereabout, so

137
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: I'll sneak in a couple hour and naf And so,

138
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: as it turns out, everything just went fantastic. Our son

139
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: got here about an out, well about an hour before,

140
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: about eleven ten forty five or so, and because a

141
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: chef being a chef, he kind of had well, he

142
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: knows how to kind of time everything in terms of

143
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: putting the cast roles in, heating up the potato, getting

144
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: the gravy ready, carving the turkey, all that sort of

145
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: stuff once it comes out, and so you know, he

146
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: kind of came in kind of pulled everything together and

147
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: all the time, and which was a tremendous help, and

148
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: just it's kind of interesting watching somebody that has done

149
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: this and knows how to do these things doing it.

150
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: And so everything turned out fantastic. It was probably the

151
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: best turkey we have had in as long as I

152
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: can remember everything. I mean, it was it was juicy,

153
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: it was just tender. It was fantastic. All the juices

154
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: into the stuffing were just fantastic, all the sides and everything,

155
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: and it was just it was one of the best

156
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving dinners we've.

157
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: Had in memory.

158
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: And you know, normally the advantage of hosting a Thanksgiving

159
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: dinner is that you have lots of leftovers, and it's

160
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: kind of like one of those things where you don't

161
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of a good thing and a

162
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: bad thing, because I guess, I mean, there's a lot

163
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: of people that apparently don't once they get stuffed with

164
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: turkey and stuff, they're not interested in leftovers, and you

165
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: always kind of wonder, well, if nobody's taking any leftovers,

166
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: do they really enjoy the meal?

167
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: But then by the same token, they come.

168
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 2: Back year after year and rave about wanting to be there,

169
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: and then you see them fill their plates up and

170
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: gobble down everything, so you know, they kind of appreciate

171
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: it a little bit. But this year it was interesting

172
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: because our the granddaughter lives down here that had to

173
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: work at three, she asked if she could have some leftovers,

174
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: and so we put up some containers, and then our other,

175
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: the next in line, granddaughter, who is a freshman in college.

176
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: We didn't know that, but she pulls out this thermal

177
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: bag that has all these containers and it she goes,

178
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: I want to get some leftovers take back to me

179
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: because I can have them, you know, maybe in the

180
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: in the dormitory and whatever, because I really love the

181
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: meal I want to have. I want to have the leftovers.

182
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: So she had all of her containers. And then by

183
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: the time we got everything packed up and everything, we're

184
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: looking around at what was left over, you know, for us,

185
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: because you know, God, I love one of the best

186
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: things about the Thanksgiving are the turkey sandwiches the next

187
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: few days or even a week afterwards, and we really

188
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: had not that much leftover. But all in all, it

189
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 2: was fantastic. I don't think we could have had a

190
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: better Thanksgiving. Everything turned out fantastic, even with the little

191
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: wrinkle of the of the toilet the day before throwing

192
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 2: the schedule off. It's one of those things that you think,

193
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: oh my god, this is going to be a disaster,

194
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden everything starts falling into

195
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: place and everything turned out right. And I know We're

196
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: going to be talking about this and thinking about this

197
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: that day for a number of years.

198
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: Coming up.

199
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: The Christmas season has finally begun for me. I'm Kevin Gordon,

200
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: America's Trucking Network, seven hundred W l W. I'm Kevin Gordon,

201
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: America's struck In Network, seven hundred W LW.

202
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: And of course, before I get into.

203
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: You know, the Christmas season officially starting, kind of finishing

204
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: up my thoughts as I was thinking about it during

205
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: the break about Thanksgiving and everything, you know, not only

206
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: that we have the the you know, the the meal

207
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: and everything turned out fantastic. Then of course that night

208
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: watching the Bengals, you know, it was one of those

209
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: things where the Bengals were playing and I'm thinking, oh god,

210
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: you know, am I gonna be able to you know,

211
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: is it going to give me in? You know, you

212
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: got to pull for the home team, and you know,

213
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: it's always been one of these things where it's like

214
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: you get all these expectations and then they disappoint. But

215
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you that that that game was absolutely fantastic. Also,

216
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: our granddaughter who came with the thermal back and she

217
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: was all prepared with her various containers because she wanted

218
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: to take leftovers home with her. This is the same

219
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: girl that about two three years ago we asked her

220
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: for her her Christmas list, and she runs upstairs and

221
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: she comes back down with it, and she's got this

222
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: thing on a list, and it was on this little

223
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: narrow piece of paper, and this list was as tall

224
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: as she is. We were just by her precision of

225
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: making sure how she, you know, had everything.

226
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: Listed out and all this sort of stuff well over

227
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: the weekend.

228
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: We asked her, by the way, we forgot to ask you,

229
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: you know, your list for Thanksgiving. So she sends us

230
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: a link to her spreadsheet now for her Christmas gifts.

231
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: I'll tell you she is quite a character. It was,

232
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, a great weekend. Fantastic weekend, and just

233
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: communications back and forth and then a little character.

234
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: It was just fantastic.

235
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: By the way, I mentioned earlier that Christmas season has

236
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: finally started for me. You know most people, you know,

237
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: some people, the Christmas season begins right after Halloween. I mean,

238
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: if you you know, obviously, if you go into some

239
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: of the big box stores, I noticed that they were

240
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: starting to put out their Christmas decorations off to the

241
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: side in one corner before they started infiltrating the rest

242
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: of the store, you know, because they were competing with

243
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: Halloween decorations and so on. But I started seeing some

244
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: of the Christmas decorations back in Geez even September, first

245
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 2: part of October, and then of course one's Halloween was over.

246
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: The store was completely flooded. The candy aisles and all

247
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff we're taking care of. For some

248
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: people it's, you know, the beginning of December. Some people

249
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: it doesn't start until the first snowfall in December, which

250
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: you know, depending upon where you live, that's not going

251
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: to happen real soon. And for some people it's you know,

252
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: the Christmas season begins the day after Thanksgiving. Well for me,

253
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: it is it's a Christmas season until I see the

254
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: Corona built beer commercial and it's just one of those

255
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: things that it pops up every year and it's and

256
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: it okay, it's now Christmas season. I can begin the

257
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 2: Christmas season. I'm a I'm not a you know, I

258
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: don't drink Corona beer. I'm not really fond of it,

259
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: but just seeing that commercial every year, and by the way,

260
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: for the last thirty five years, and I got some

261
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: interesting facts about this.

262
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: I mentioned this last year a little bit. I don't

263
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: know if you remember this.

264
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: But anyway, this ad pops up and it's been going

265
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: and they said that it will be going on about

266
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: eighty It'll run about eighty thousand times during all kinds

267
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: of sporting events over the next up until Christmas. This

268
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: commercial first air in nineteen ninety and remains one of

269
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: the longest running commercials ever Let Me See when it

270
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: first let me see. According to let Me See Corona Beer,

271
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: they call it the o Tan and palm ad ad

272
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: pops up every year without fail, without virtually any updates.

273
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: It's simple, it's calming, and it'll play approximately eighty thousand

274
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: times during every sporting event for the late oct November

275
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: and into Christmas or into New Year's Day. Now, this

276
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: has this Florida feel to it. It kind of has that,

277
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: you know, vibe of its being down in Florida, and

278
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: you kind of get that impression. But then they pointed

279
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: out in their fun facts about this that with the

280
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: exception of the mountain range off in the distance, which

281
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: Florida just doesn't have these mountain ranges. And so I'm

282
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: apparently well I never noticed that before. But this commercial

283
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 2: was filmed in Mexico, which is the hub and you

284
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: know the vibe of Corona beer. Although Corona O Tan

285
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: and Palm Christmas commercial looks very Floridian, with the exception

286
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: of the small cameo of the mountain or cliff in

287
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: the background, it was filmed in Acamal, Mexico. Acamol is

288
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: a beach front town that relies heavily on tourism. Is

289
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: about two hour car ride south of Cankun. Now, if

290
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: you look at the map and drawing a trace, it's

291
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: basically a diagonal line directly from the tip of Florida

292
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: down to the Yucatan Peninsula. And a YouTube commercial or

293
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: story it was ten years ago to celebrate the thirty

294
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: fifth anniversary of the iconic commercial. The creator, Mike Rogers

295
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: said that he had to shoot and wanted to shoot

296
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: in Mexico because it was the heart of the brand.

297
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: Roger said he's been to Acamel on a family vacation,

298
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: so you know what it was like. Location was incredibly important,

299
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: Rogers said in the Corona video interview. We wanted the

300
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: cabana to set out right over the ocean, and we

301
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: wanted it there to be a palm tree that was

302
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: the perfect shape, so we started looking for a place

303
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: and had the perfect tree. Commercial is thirty five years

304
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: old as of this year. It's hard to believe that

305
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: that commercial is that old, and it hasn't lost this luster.

306
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: It's still one of those things that just captures that feeling.

307
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: Yead originally ran in nineteen ninety, almost a decade after

308
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: Ellie or before led Christmas lights came up, so that

309
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: soft glow that you see with those lights are the

310
00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: incandescent light bulbs, which makes it even more co The

311
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: cost of the commercial was fifty thousand dollars to make

312
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: at the time, or approximately fifty two packs of twenty

313
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: four Corona Extra bottles. Even better because there was no

314
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: actors and the company doesn't have to pay royalties or

315
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: residuals for any of the characters involved. Commercial may not

316
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 2: have been shot in Florida, but the crew's experience shooting

317
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 2: the commercial screams Florida. What you don't see in the commercial,

318
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: according to Mike Rogers, is that where they set up

319
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: the camera angles and of course they're going through and

320
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: they look at the site and they try to figure

321
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 2: out okay, what's the best angle. What just so happened

322
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: that the place where they were going to shoot happened

323
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: to be occupied by alligators, So they had to hire

324
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: some wranglers to get the alligators out of the area

325
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: so they could set up the shop shot rather and

326
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: they promise the camera people, all right, just go ahead

327
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: and get it set up and then you can escape,

328
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: because the camera people were extremely nervous about this, and

329
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: so they went ahead and got the wranglers to get

330
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: all the alligators out of the way and then they.

331
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: Shot the commercial.

332
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 2: But just amazing when you go behind the scenes in

333
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: terms of this particular commercial, how much time effort and

334
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: not necessarily money, but where to set up the shot,

335
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: where they should do the location, and just getting it

336
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: running and the fact that this commercial has run for

337
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: thirty five years now is just absolutely phenomenal. And they've

338
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 2: mentioned that they've tried to change the commercial, they try

339
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: to update the commercial or maybe go in a different direction.

340
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: But every year they look at that and they see

341
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 2: some of the storyboards that come up and they say,

342
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: you know what, we just can't beat it. And so again,

343
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: for me, the Christmas season has begun because with the

344
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: football games over the weekend, I saw that pop up,

345
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 2: I think it was Saturday afternoon for the first time,

346
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 2: and I said, all right, the Christmas season has finally

347
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: begun coming up. We've got a little Christmas present possibly

348
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: in the way. Well, I'll just have to tease you

349
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 2: on that. We've got a possible Christmas gift coming up

350
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: from the present. I'm Kevin Gordon, America's Trucking Network, seven

00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 2: mark on your calendar that does Saturday the thirteenth will

375
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: be the date that they do the laying of these wreaths.

376
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 2: If you haven't signed up yet, if there's a local cemetery,

377
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 2: actually what you do is you can go to their website,

378
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: reescross America dot org and you can there is a

379
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: place on there where you can find a cemetery close

380
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 2: to you. You can sign up to participate and they

381
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 2: will contact you tell you all the ins and outs

382
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 2: and time to show up and so on. It's a

383
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 2: lot of fun and there's a link on there where

384
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: you can actually contribute or actually sponsor a wreath some

385
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: and you can specifically specify what cemetery or what location

386
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: you want that wreath, or you can just do an

387
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: overall contribution and support number of wreaths only seventeen bucks

388
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 2: a wreath, which is the same price as last year.

389
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's coming up on the thirteenth, and well,

390
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 2: I won't be able to participate this year because we'll

391
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 2: be down in Nashville for the Rush Truck Centers Tech

392
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 2: Rodeo event, which I'm really looking forward to.

393
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: That's going to be a lot of fun. And we'll

394
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about that the closer we

395
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: get now.

396
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: Also, November thirtieth mark the end the official end of

397
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 2: the Atlantic hurricane season. And if the hurricane season seemed

398
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: like it was a little calm.

399
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 1: Compared to other years, well you're not wrong.

400
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: What's interesting in this is that the fact that the

401
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five hurricane season, which officially ended November thirtieth,

402
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: was notable for its striking contrasts, wavering between periods of

403
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: relative calm and bursts of intense activity generating very powerful storms. Overall,

404
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: the season fell within the predicted ranges for named storms,

405
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: hurricanes and major hurricanes. What was unusual is the fact,

406
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 2: according to Neil Jacobs, PhD, under Secretary of Commerce for

407
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: Oceans and Atmosphere at.

408
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: Noah Administrator North.

409
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 2: So let me see the hurricanes section, for the first

410
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 2: time in a decade, not a single hurricane struck the

411
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: US this season, and that was a much needed break. Still,

412
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: a tropical storm caused damaged casualties in the Carolinas. Distinct

413
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: distant hurricanes created rough ocean waters caused property damage along

414
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: the East Coast, I believe along Cape Hatterason there in

415
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: the outer Banks, there were I think twelve structures that were,

416
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: you know, on the stilts, and the waves coming in

417
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 2: dropped those, so there were twelve houses. But as far

418
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: as lives are concerned, I don't remember seeing any casualties

419
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: in terms of lives lost. But again, for the first

420
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 2: time in decade, in a decade, a hurricane did not

421
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: hit the continental the United States. And what's interesting is

422
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: is that looking at these over the year, because again

423
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: I pay attention to this simply because at the beginning

424
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: of every hurricane season, all we hear from the climbiness

425
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: is that this is going to be the worst hurricane

426
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: season on record because of climate change, and you know,

427
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 2: if we don't do something about that, we're all going

428
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: to die and all this sort of stuff. Well we

429
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 2: were all supposed to die about what seven years ago.

430
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: That hasn't happened, by the way, just so you know

431
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 2: we're still around.

432
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: And all this. And it's such a line.

433
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this what they call

434
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: the Conference of Participants number thirty that was down there

435
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 2: in Brazil. We reported that, how you know, just absolute

436
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: hypocritical they are.

437
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they've.

438
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 2: Got people from they had thousands of people attend this

439
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 2: convention down there as to ways to stop climate change

440
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 2: and so on, and to accommodate these people, to have

441
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 2: a highway because this thing sits out on a peninsula,

442
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: and rather than traveling to the peninsula, of course you've

443
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 2: got to drive through, you've got to go to a

444
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 2: private airport so that you can fly your private jets

445
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: in there. And they constructed this three mile road paved

446
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 2: to this resort, chopping down one hundred and ten thousand trees.

447
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: One hundred and ten thousand trees in the middle of

448
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 2: the rainforest. Now, aren't we told years ago that we've

449
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: got to do something to preserve the Amazon jungles, that

450
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 2: that is the lungs of the of the world, and

451
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: that these people coming in and clearcutting this this.

452
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: Is a this is a war, or this is a

453
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: what was.

454
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: An outlaw or should be outlawed, That this is a

455
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 2: threat against mother nature herself, and this is an attack

456
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: on mother nature. And yet for these climinus, and I

457
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: call them climinus because if you look at what they're

458
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 2: talking about, they have nothing to do with They're not

459
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: concerned about saving the planet. It's all about control, and

460
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: it's all about where you live, how you eat your home,

461
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: how you cook your food, what food you can eat,

462
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: when you can eat it, and so on, and it's

463
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: all about control. So they have more in common with

464
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: the communists than they do as far as a climatologists

465
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 2: or a cologists and so on. So environmentalism to me

466
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 2: has become the new communism. And so I just mashed

467
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 2: the two together and call them climbinus. And so these

468
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 2: guys attend this meeting, and I don't know if you

469
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: saw some of the nonsense that came out. There's some

470
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 2: sort of dance ritual that they did. They're doing a

471
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 2: rap music to where they're talking about, you know, for

472
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: the for you know, now they're gonna want you to

473
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 2: they're trying to teach you how to breathe properly. So

474
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 2: it's in through the nose, out through the mouth. And

475
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 2: they started doing this and all these people were doing

476
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: this dance to it, and it was just absolutely ridiculous.

477
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: And then in the middle of this, they had some

478
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 2: fire at some one of their tents or something along

479
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: those lines that they didn't prepare for. So there you

480
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 2: got those pollutants in the air, plus the hundred and

481
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: ten thousand trees that were destroyed. I mean, this just unbelievable.

482
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 2: So anyway, at the beginning of the hurricane season, yeah,

483
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna have the worst hurricane season ever.

484
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: There's gonna be all these name storms.

485
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: Now in here they mentioned in the story, they say

486
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 2: that it was right in line with everything that they predicted,

487
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 2: the number of named storms. But since none of the

488
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 2: storms hit the continental United States, a lot of these

489
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: named storms were out in the middle of the Atlantic

490
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: Ocean and never really went anywhere. They formed. They formed

491
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 2: this great amount of you know, thrust and winds and

492
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: all this sort of stuff and qualified as a hurricane,

493
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: but dissipated before it did any damage or even went

494
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 2: even towards land. So it's like, you know the old

495
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: saying that if a tree falls in the middle of

496
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 2: a forest and nobody's around to hear, it doesn't really

497
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: make a sound. Well, if a hurricane is out in

498
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and churns up all

499
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 2: this water, all these winds and everything and never makes landfall,

500
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: did it really occur? I mean, you know, it's one

501
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: of those things. And so they made it. You know,

502
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: any little tropical storm that came up. They started naming

503
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: these storms when they were just basically off the west,

504
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: because all the stuff from these hurricanes, it begins from

505
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 2: the west coast of Africa and then moves across the

506
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: Atlantic Ocean and hits our eastern seaboard. So when these

507
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: things are like one hundred miles off the coast of Africa,

508
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 2: they were quick we got to name the storm. All

509
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: of a sudden, they were coming up with the name

510
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: of the storm, and it was just it almost seemed

511
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: like they were naming these storms just to prove themselves right.

512
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 2: Atlantic Basin produced thirteen named storms winds of thirty nine

513
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 2: miles per hour or greater. So I guess where I

514
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: live in Wilder, Kentucky on top of the hill there,

515
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: we must have tropical storms at least once a month

516
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: because we're always getting wind gus up there about forty

517
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: miles per hour. So anyway, Basin produced thirteen named storms

518
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: winds of thirty nine miles or greater, of which five

519
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: became hurricane winds of seventy four miles or greater, including

520
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: four major hurricanes with winds reaching one hundred and eleven

521
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: miles per hour, and average season as fourteen named storms,

522
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: seven hurricanes, three major hurricanes.

523
00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: I guess a couple of them.

524
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: Actually hit the category five, which is kind of interesting,

525
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: but again no damage, according to Ken Graham, director of

526
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: NAA's National Weather Service, he mentioned that while the CLI

527
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: climatological peak of the hurricane season was quiet with no

528
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: tropical activity, the season generated three five category five hurricanes,

529
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: second most on record in a single season. Fortunately, short

530
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: term weather patterns largely steered tropical systems away from the

531
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 2: United States, and it was interesting. In one case, there

532
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: was two hurricanes. I don't remember which ones. Let me

533
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: see which ones. Oh yeah, Okay, Humberto was churning and

534
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 2: then it collided. Let me see, Amelda collided with Humberto.

535
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: And so these two storms were out there in the

536
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: ocean and they kind of collided with each other, dissipated,

537
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 2: knocked each other off their course again away from landfall,

538
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: which was kind of a unique pattern and a Unix

539
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: system in the Atlantic Ocean. So anyway, the climatologists, the

540
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: climbunists that we're telling us that we're going to have

541
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: a horrible hurricane season. Once again, the so called experts

542
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: were wrong. Coming up, I mentioned I was going to

543
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: mention this in the previous in this particular segment, but

544
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 2: the White House is talking about giving us a Christmas

545
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: present by Christmas, a Christmas present issuer. I'm Kevin Gordon,

546
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 2: america'struck a Network seven hundred WLW. This is Americastrucking Network,

547
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: seven hundred WLW. If you miss any of our previous

548
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: shows or any of our shows, any particular segments, Hi,

549
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: if that iHeartRadio app brought to you by a Thrush

550
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: truck Center.

551
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned this gift from the White House.

552
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 2: Scott Besson, there's a very good chance that Trump will

553
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 2: name a new FED chairman by Christmas. Treasury Secretary of

554
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: Scott Besson said last week he expects President Donald Trump

555
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: to make a decision on the new Federal Reserve chair

556
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: by the holiday season. Trump has been a fierce FED

557
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: critic and recently said he had loved to fire Powell

558
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: and encourage Besson to work on the chair to get

559
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 2: the Central Bank to lower interest rates. And I have

560
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: been a critic well, actually I have been a critic

561
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: of Jerome Powell even back during the Biden administration when

562
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 2: I think they should have started raising you know, if

563
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: they were trying, if their mandate is to rein in inflation,

564
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: then they shouldn't have stood sat there for a year

565
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: and a half and talked about.

566
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: That the.

567
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: Inflation was transitory, which in the definition means that it's temporary. Well,

568
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 2: temporary doesn't mean a year and a half of rising

569
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: of inflation with a peak of nine point one percent

570
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:58,239
Speaker 2: in June of twenty twenty four, twenty two. Rather so

571
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: the fact that they were to raise interest rates at

572
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: that time to slow down the economy, to hold back

573
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: and rein in inflation wound up with inflation getting extremely

574
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 2: out of control. So he didn't do a good job

575
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: back then, and he's even admitted of looking back, they

576
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: made a mistake.

577
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: And yet now, instead of.

578
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: Wanting to spur the economy, which everybody talks about interest rates,

579
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 2: lower interest rates means more consumption. People have more money

580
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 2: in their pocket, they go out and spend more, which,

581
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: by the way, spurs the economy and increase his activity.

582
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: Apparently he didn't read that part of the economics book.

583
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: So the fact that, and I've been saying pretty much

584
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: since the beginning of the year, I had heard this theory.

585
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't know who it was from. I don't know

586
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: if it was Kevin.

587
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 2: O'Leary or whether it was Lou Dobbs or one of

588
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: the folks on Fox Business, but I heard the theory.

589
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 2: Maybe it was Scott Besten to raise the anyway, it

590
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 2: doesn't matter that possibly what the president should do, because

591
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: it was kind of clear that, well, he can fire

592
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 2: the FED chair for cause. But this moon federal regurgitators

593
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: in the mainstream media would have a field day with that,

594
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: and they started whining about the independence of the Federal Reserve,

595
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 2: even though we know that the Federal Reserve is not independent.

596
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 2: Otherwise they never would have lowered interest rates six weeks

597
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: before the election in twenty twenty four to try to

598
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: get Kamala over the finish line. But again that's a story.

599
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: We've talked about that extensively on this program. So again

600
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: I guess to avoid the firestorm, he didn't fire Joan Powell,

601
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 2: saying that of course his term ends in May of

602
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: next year. But the theory was floated that possibly what

603
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: could happen is that he should appoint or announce who

604
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: is FED chairman is going to be get that by

605
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: the Congress and Senate because it has to be a

606
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: confirmation process, and then that person would be the Federal

607
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 2: chairman Federal Reserve Chairman in waiting. And so what they

608
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 2: were talking about at the time was that if they

609
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: did that, then it could be a situation where if

610
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: something came up as far as the economy, he or

611
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 2: she could weigh in on that and have their opinion

612
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 2: hitting the networks and hit the news cycles, which it

613
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: would possibly be in contrast with what the FED current

614
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 2: FED Chairman, Lion Jerry Powell is doing. And so the

615
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: fact that they were talking about that, I thought it

616
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 2: was an excellent idea and should have been followed through.

617
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: Now apparently.

618
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 2: I mean, here we are in December, we've got the

619
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: new FED chairman going to be done by May of

620
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 2: next year. But if they announce who the fedchairman is

621
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 2: going to be before Christmas, that should spur things in

622
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 2: terms of the economy as far as people looking ahead

623
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 2: and thinking, Okay, this guy knows what he's doing, or

624
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 2: this guy has a track record and we can see

625
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 2: good things coming in towards May thereabouts. So hopefully they

626
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: will determine who that's going to be and come up

627
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: with the names. Now, what they've been talking about is

628
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: there's several names that have been floated.

629
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can find those. Oh yeah.

630
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: In the meantime, Beston has continuing to interview chair candidates.

631
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: The slate of finalists he believed to include National Economic

632
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: Council Director Kevin Hassett, former Governor Ken Walsh, Blackrock executive

633
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: Rick Ryder, and current FED governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman.

634
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 2: So doing the interviews of those, they may settle on

635
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 2: somebody and announce that. Now a lot of people are

636
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 2: saying that they believe that it's going to be Kevin Hassett,

637
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: but of course that's what people are assuming or beenulating on.

638
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some.

639
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 2: Sort of odds in Las Vegas where people are putting

640
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: odds on who the person will be, and maybe those

641
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 2: surprises and come up with somebody completely different. But I

642
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: sure like to see who that person is going to

643
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 2: be and see what happens as far as that, because

644
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 2: I think the markets would really appreciate knowing that there

645
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: is going to be a steady hand instead of line.

646
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 2: Jerry Powell involved as far as the as far as

647
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve is concerned, well, we've saw some of that.

648
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 2: We're beginning to see some of the results for Black

649
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 2: Friday and the holiday weekend, the Thanksgiving weekend in terms

650
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: of retail sales. That was interesting that they said that

651
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 2: one of the things they tracked, consumers spent record amounts

652
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 2: online on Black Friday. But it's less clear how traditional

653
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 2: retail stores did on the official kickoff of the peak

654
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: holiday shopping season, with one tracking company showing a slight

655
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 2: increase in foot traffic and another showing a big drop.

656
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: So again depending upon the tracking in information in terms

657
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: of where they what, who was doing what, and depending

658
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 2: upon what company or which agency does these an analyses,

659
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 2: which one is going to be accurate. Now as far

660
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: as what we're seeing as far as online sales, the

661
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: online sales, they said, we see Adobe, which studies date

662
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,479
Speaker 2: the date called from over one trillion visits to US

663
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: retail stores, reported that US e commerce sales reached a

664
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 2: record eleven point eight billion dollars online for Black Friday,

665
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 2: up nine point one percent year over year. That exceeded

666
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 2: Adobe's forecast of eight point three percent e commerce for

667
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 2: Black Friday. Between ten am and two pm on Black Friday,

668
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: online shoppers spent twelve point five million dollars every minute.

669
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 2: Twelve point five million do every minute. So they're talking

670
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 2: about it being off to a strong start. AI driven

671
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 2: traffic is up one eight hundred and five percent. I'm

672
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: not so sure that I would trust AI driven, you know,

673
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 2: pushing where you should buy and all that sort of

674
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: stuff traffic teriffts that contributed to. Now they're saying that

675
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: they're seeing some price increases, but again overall they're not

676
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: seeing a major effect from that. What talking about customers

677
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 2: or consumers shopping with surgical precision, they're being very specific

678
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 2: as to where they're spending their money. And one of

679
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 2: the things that I thought was very interesting is that

680
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 2: gen zers are showing up in retail stores looking for deals.

681
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 2: You would think that what we've been hearing from that generation,

682
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 2: that a lot of their stuff would have been doing

683
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: They would have been doing this online. And of course

684
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 2: there are stories out and of course we don't know yet,

685
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 2: but Cyber Monday could break spending records. Let's see, shoppers

686
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 2: will spend fourteen point two billion dollars on that day.

687
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 2: So all this talk of a weak economy, things aren't

688
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: as strong as they should be.

689
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: That people are worried about the economy.

690
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 2: As I've been saying for months, I think it's one

691
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 2: of those situations where you've had such a drum beat

692
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: of negativity from the spoon fed regurgitators in the mainstream

693
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 2: media trying to talk down the economy, trying to, in

694
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 2: my opinion, manufacture or recession. And so they're at the

695
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 2: point where they have put these ideas in people's head.

696
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: Yet they're saying that, you know, my economy is pretty good,

697
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 2: my job seems to be relatively safe, I feel good

698
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 2: about my family situation.

699
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm thinking in terms of the economy. But

700
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm so worried about my neighbors. I'm worried about other people.

701
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: I'm worried about.

702
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 2: What I'm hearing is far as these other people out

703
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 2: there talking about the economy, and it's starting to drag

704
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 2: people's optimism down. But the numbers are reflecting something far different. Well, folks,

705
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 2: we are up against the clock here. Stay tuned for
