WEBVTT - 12-2-25 America's Truckin' Network

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>This is America's Trucking Network with Kevin Gordon Vulvaable.

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for tuning in on this Tuesday morning, the first

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 2>show of December for America's Struck a network who says

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 2>nothing good happens after midnight. I hope everybody had a

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>fantastic Thanksgiving. We couldn't have had a better Thanksgiving in

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 2>the Gordon household if we tried. There were a couple

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 2>wrinkles along the way, but all in all, it just it.

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 2>You know when you go into something and you think

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be a problem and then all of

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, everything just kind of comes together.

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's been I mentioned this last week.

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>It's been several years since we've hosted our Thanksgiving meal

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 2>with our family.

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Our son, who's a chef.

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>A few years ago we pre play Endemic, decided that

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to start doing it. When they moved back

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>from a facility he was managing a restaurant banquet facility

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 2>at a university and they came back to the area

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 2>they had been here. They moved over there, then came

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 2>back and wanted to start hosting Thanksgiving because they had

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>a little bit bigger house. They had a bigger dining room,

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 2>and plus they had some family friends of theirs that

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>they wanted to have over as well, so we beg

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 2>we kind of acquiesced to them having Thanksgiving. Now, there's

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 2>been a couple of years when about three years ago

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>they moved up to the Northwest and because I was

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:44.959
<v Speaker 2>filling in for one of the shows, we couldn't get

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>up there, so we had a little Thanksgiving ourselves, and

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 2>so it's been kind of weird that we haven't really

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>hosted anything. But this year, with him being up in

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 2>the northwest Port part of Ohio, his daughter who is

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 2>still living down here, had to work at three o'clock.

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean this I think last week, and so they

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 2>decided to come down here and then have Thanksgiving at noon,

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 2>which normally we in the past have always had it

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>around five o'clock in the afternoon, so that kind of

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 2>moved up the timetable and everything. So we decided to

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.079
<v Speaker 2>just go ahead and have it here. And we had

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>it all planned out. I mean we began weeks before

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of saying, okay, here's what we need to buy here,

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 2>made the list of all the ingredients and stuff that

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 2>we're going to purchase, and then kind of set out

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 2>a timetable of when we start on, like well dethawing. Well,

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have to defaw the turkey because we actually

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 2>got a fresh turkey, an organic turkey this year, which

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>by the way, was seventy cents a pound less than

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 2>what we paid last year, which was kind of phenomenal.

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, so we go ahead and order that and

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 2>then we didn't have to thaw it out, so we

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't to add that to the timetable. We got some

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 2>of the stuff done over the weekend, desserts and some

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 2>of the things that we would normally have to you know,

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>has to sit around for a little while to firm up,

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.519
<v Speaker 2>and the flavors gel and all that sort of stuff. Anyway,

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>so everything was working real fine, and so we had

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 2>planned on Wednesday. I had filled in on the morning

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>show for our sister station. I've got home at around

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 2>eleven o'clock that Wednesday, eleven o'clock in the morning that Wednesday,

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>and we started saying, okay, we're going to get all

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 2>this stuff done. And originally we were thought thinking of

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 2>doing the turkey the night before, then wrapping it up

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 2>and then just heating it and up the next morning,

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and I kind of came I kind of thought, no,

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to try that because it might get dry.

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>And we've never over.

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 2>The last thirty five years that we've done Thanksgiving, we've

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 2>never had a dry turkey, and I want to break

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 2>that string. So I figured, all right, Well, by the

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 2>time I finish atn that Thanksgiving morning and get home,

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>get a couple hours of sleep, maybe throw the turkey in,

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, get all the stuffing and everything into it

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>by about starting about six o'clock in the morning, get

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 2>it in and start roasting it around seven o'clock in

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>the morning, because it takes about four four and a

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 2>half hours.

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>So I figured, okay, no problem.

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>So Wednesday afternoon, we're getting everything prepared and everything and

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>lo and behold, wouldn't you know that throw a monkey

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>wrench into it and we wind up we have a

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>toilet that decided that it was going to can you

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>say crap out?

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Now? Well it stopped working.

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 2>There's just a little floatation device in there, flow mass

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:29.040
<v Speaker 2>at whatever they call it there. Anyway, the float when

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 2>it's supposed to rise and then it cuts off the water. Well,

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 2>it cut off the water before it was actually filled

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 2>and it take maybe about five minutes for the toilet

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 2>of the tank to fill. So figured, okay, that's going

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 2>to get a little bit of use on Thanksgiving, so

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I better go get I better replace that. And I thought, okay,

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 2>according to the instructions and everything, it's only going to

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 2>take about thirty minutes. I figured, well, since I'm not

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>really you know, I'm not a pro at this, I

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 2>don't do it every day, so I figured, okay, it's

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 2>going to take about an hour. So we began starting

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.359
<v Speaker 2>to do this thing with the with the toilet, with

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 2>the back of the toilet, the tank and everything, and

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 2>lo and behold, I have to take and I have

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to remove this cabinet that's around the toilet in order

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>to get to it, in order to get everything disassembled

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 2>out of the tank, and so I had to unattach

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 2>this thing from the wall, move it over, and so

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.679
<v Speaker 2>then I get into the thing and find out, of course,

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, obviously you're going to be missing a piece

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>or or something's going to break, and so then you

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.280
<v Speaker 2>have to run up to the store and get that.

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>So this half hour project wound up being about four

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 2>hours long by the time I got the cabinet off,

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 2>got everything repaired, then reattached the cabinet and got it going.

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 2>So I kind of pushed this back a little bit.

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 2>So I figured, all right, my wife is busy getting

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:53.159
<v Speaker 2>the desserts and everything ready Wednesday night, and so I figured, okay,

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.799
<v Speaker 2>no problem. When I get back from ATM doing the show,

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 2>I figured, well, just a couple hours of chopping, you know.

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Put it aside. I had all the broth made the

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>night before, with the neck and cleaning the turkey, so

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.039
<v Speaker 2>I had that already before I even did the show,

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 2>and so I figured, not a problem.

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll just come home, do.

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 2>The chopping of the all the stuff for the stuffing,

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 2>get that all ready to go, go to bed for

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 2>a couple hours and get up and so anyway, that

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 2>a couple hours of chopping wound up taking me about

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>two and a half hours, so anyway, not much sleep.

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 2>But then we got I got up at six o'clock

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 2>and got everything ready, put some coffee on, and then

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 2>started stuffing. And from start to finish, by the time

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.919
<v Speaker 2>you saw tay the onions, the celery and that, and

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.719
<v Speaker 2>then put it in with the bread cubes and then

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 2>add the seasoning and all that sort of stuff and

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 2>then stuff the turkey. I figured that I've written my

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>notes down over the years and said, oh, that's going

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 2>to take you about an hour, And it took us

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 2>exactly an hour. So we got the turkey in at

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>seven thirty in the morning, and so I figured, all right, well,

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>going to be here to about eleven o'clock thereabout, so

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.599
<v Speaker 2>I'll sneak in a couple hour and naf And so,

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 2>as it turns out, everything just went fantastic. Our son

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 2>got here about an out, well about an hour before,

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>about eleven ten forty five or so, and because a

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 2>chef being a chef, he kind of had well, he

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 2>knows how to kind of time everything in terms of

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 2>putting the cast roles in, heating up the potato, getting

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 2>the gravy ready, carving the turkey, all that sort of

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>stuff once it comes out, and so you know, he

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of came in kind of pulled everything together and

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 2>all the time, and which was a tremendous help, and

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 2>just it's kind of interesting watching somebody that has done

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 2>this and knows how to do these things doing it.

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>And so everything turned out fantastic. It was probably the

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 2>best turkey we have had in as long as I

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 2>can remember everything. I mean, it was it was juicy,

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 2>it was just tender. It was fantastic. All the juices

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 2>into the stuffing were just fantastic, all the sides and everything,

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 2>and it was just it was one of the best

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Thanksgiving dinners we've.

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Had in memory.

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 2>And you know, normally the advantage of hosting a Thanksgiving

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 2>dinner is that you have lots of leftovers, and it's

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 2>kind of like one of those things where you don't

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's kind of a good thing and a

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.680
<v Speaker 2>bad thing, because I guess, I mean, there's a lot

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>of people that apparently don't once they get stuffed with

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 2>turkey and stuff, they're not interested in leftovers, and you

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 2>always kind of wonder, well, if nobody's taking any leftovers,

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 2>do they really enjoy the meal?

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>But then by the same token, they come.

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.719
<v Speaker 2>Back year after year and rave about wanting to be there,

0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 2>and then you see them fill their plates up and

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 2>gobble down everything, so you know, they kind of appreciate

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 2>it a little bit. But this year it was interesting

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 2>because our the granddaughter lives down here that had to

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.079
<v Speaker 2>work at three, she asked if she could have some leftovers,

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 2>and so we put up some containers, and then our other,

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 2>the next in line, granddaughter, who is a freshman in college.

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 2>We didn't know that, but she pulls out this thermal

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 2>bag that has all these containers and it she goes,

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I want to get some leftovers take back to me

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.960
<v Speaker 2>because I can have them, you know, maybe in the

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 2>in the dormitory and whatever, because I really love the

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 2>meal I want to have. I want to have the leftovers.

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 2>So she had all of her containers. And then by

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 2>the time we got everything packed up and everything, we're

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 2>looking around at what was left over, you know, for us,

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 2>because you know, God, I love one of the best

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 2>things about the Thanksgiving are the turkey sandwiches the next

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 2>few days or even a week afterwards, and we really

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 2>had not that much leftover. But all in all, it

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.319
<v Speaker 2>was fantastic. I don't think we could have had a

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 2>better Thanksgiving. Everything turned out fantastic, even with the little

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.320
<v Speaker 2>wrinkle of the of the toilet the day before throwing

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.199
<v Speaker 2>the schedule off. It's one of those things that you think,

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, this is going to be a disaster,

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.320
<v Speaker 2>and then all of a sudden everything starts falling into

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 2>place and everything turned out right. And I know We're

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 2>going to be talking about this and thinking about this

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>that day for a number of years.

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Coming up.

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 2>The Christmas season has finally begun for me. I'm Kevin Gordon,

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 2>America's Trucking Network, seven hundred W l W. I'm Kevin Gordon,

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>America's struck In Network, seven hundred W LW.

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 1>And of course, before I get into.

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 2>You know, the Christmas season officially starting, kind of finishing

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 2>up my thoughts as I was thinking about it during

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 2>the break about Thanksgiving and everything, you know, not only

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.440
<v Speaker 2>that we have the the you know, the the meal

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 2>and everything turned out fantastic. Then of course that night

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 2>watching the Bengals, you know, it was one of those

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 2>things where the Bengals were playing and I'm thinking, oh god,

0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, am I gonna be able to you know,

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>is it going to give me in? You know, you

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 2>got to pull for the home team, and you know,

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 2>it's always been one of these things where it's like

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 2>you get all these expectations and then they disappoint. But

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 2>I gotta tell you that that that game was absolutely fantastic. Also,

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 2>our granddaughter who came with the thermal back and she

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 2>was all prepared with her various containers because she wanted

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 2>to take leftovers home with her. This is the same

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 2>girl that about two three years ago we asked her

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 2>for her her Christmas list, and she runs upstairs and

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 2>she comes back down with it, and she's got this

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 2>thing on a list, and it was on this little

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 2>narrow piece of paper, and this list was as tall

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 2>as she is. We were just by her precision of

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 2>making sure how she, you know, had everything.

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Listed out and all this sort of stuff well over

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the weekend.

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>We asked her, by the way, we forgot to ask you,

0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, your list for Thanksgiving. So she sends us

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 2>a link to her spreadsheet now for her Christmas gifts.

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you she is quite a character. It was,

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 2>oh my goodness, a great weekend. Fantastic weekend, and just

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 2>communications back and forth and then a little character.

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>It was just fantastic.

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I mentioned earlier that Christmas season has

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.079
<v Speaker 2>finally started for me. You know most people, you know,

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 2>some people, the Christmas season begins right after Halloween. I mean,

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 2>if you you know, obviously, if you go into some

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 2>of the big box stores, I noticed that they were

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 2>starting to put out their Christmas decorations off to the

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 2>side in one corner before they started infiltrating the rest

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 2>of the store, you know, because they were competing with

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Halloween decorations and so on. But I started seeing some

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 2>of the Christmas decorations back in Geez even September, first

0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.559
<v Speaker 2>part of October, and then of course one's Halloween was over.

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 2>The store was completely flooded. The candy aisles and all

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.559
<v Speaker 2>that sort of stuff we're taking care of. For some

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>people it's, you know, the beginning of December. Some people

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't start until the first snowfall in December, which

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, depending upon where you live, that's not going

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>to happen real soon. And for some people it's you know,

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 2>the Christmas season begins the day after Thanksgiving. Well for me,

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.080
<v Speaker 2>it is it's a Christmas season until I see the

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:30.679
<v Speaker 2>Corona built beer commercial and it's just one of those

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 2>things that it pops up every year and it's and

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.840
<v Speaker 2>it okay, it's now Christmas season. I can begin the

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Christmas season. I'm a I'm not a you know, I

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 2>don't drink Corona beer. I'm not really fond of it,

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 2>but just seeing that commercial every year, and by the way,

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 2>for the last thirty five years, and I got some

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 2>interesting facts about this.

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned this last year a little bit. I don't

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 1>know if you remember this.

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, this ad pops up and it's been going

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 2>and they said that it will be going on about

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 2>eighty It'll run about eighty thousand times during all kinds

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 2>of sporting events over the next up until Christmas. This

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 2>commercial first air in nineteen ninety and remains one of

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 2>the longest running commercials ever Let Me See when it

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 2>first let me see. According to let Me See Corona Beer,

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 2>they call it the o Tan and palm ad ad

0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>pops up every year without fail, without virtually any updates.

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 2>It's simple, it's calming, and it'll play approximately eighty thousand

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 2>times during every sporting event for the late oct November

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 2>and into Christmas or into New Year's Day. Now, this

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 2>has this Florida feel to it. It kind of has that,

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, vibe of its being down in Florida, and

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 2>you kind of get that impression. But then they pointed

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>out in their fun facts about this that with the

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 2>exception of the mountain range off in the distance, which

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Florida just doesn't have these mountain ranges. And so I'm

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 2>apparently well I never noticed that before. But this commercial

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 2>was filmed in Mexico, which is the hub and you

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 2>know the vibe of Corona beer. Although Corona O Tan

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 2>and Palm Christmas commercial looks very Floridian, with the exception

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.800
<v Speaker 2>of the small cameo of the mountain or cliff in

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the background, it was filmed in Acamal, Mexico. Acamol is

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 2>a beach front town that relies heavily on tourism. Is

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 2>about two hour car ride south of Cankun. Now, if

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 2>you look at the map and drawing a trace, it's

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 2>basically a diagonal line directly from the tip of Florida

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 2>down to the Yucatan Peninsula. And a YouTube commercial or

0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 2>story it was ten years ago to celebrate the thirty

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 2>fifth anniversary of the iconic commercial. The creator, Mike Rogers

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 2>said that he had to shoot and wanted to shoot

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 2>in Mexico because it was the heart of the brand.

0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Roger said he's been to Acamel on a family vacation,

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 2>so you know what it was like. Location was incredibly important,

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Rogers said in the Corona video interview. We wanted the

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 2>cabana to set out right over the ocean, and we

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 2>wanted it there to be a palm tree that was

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 2>the perfect shape, so we started looking for a place

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:34.760
<v Speaker 2>and had the perfect tree. Commercial is thirty five years

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.840
<v Speaker 2>old as of this year. It's hard to believe that

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 2>that commercial is that old, and it hasn't lost this luster.

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>It's still one of those things that just captures that feeling.

0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Yead originally ran in nineteen ninety, almost a decade after

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Ellie or before led Christmas lights came up, so that

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 2>soft glow that you see with those lights are the

0:16:55.240 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 2>incandescent light bulbs, which makes it even more co The

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 2>cost of the commercial was fifty thousand dollars to make

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 2>at the time, or approximately fifty two packs of twenty

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 2>four Corona Extra bottles. Even better because there was no

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 2>actors and the company doesn't have to pay royalties or

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 2>residuals for any of the characters involved. Commercial may not

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.920
<v Speaker 2>have been shot in Florida, but the crew's experience shooting

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:32.720
<v Speaker 2>the commercial screams Florida. What you don't see in the commercial,

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 2>according to Mike Rogers, is that where they set up

0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 2>the camera angles and of course they're going through and

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 2>they look at the site and they try to figure

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.639
<v Speaker 2>out okay, what's the best angle. What just so happened

0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.760
<v Speaker 2>that the place where they were going to shoot happened

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:53.920
<v Speaker 2>to be occupied by alligators, So they had to hire

0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.560
<v Speaker 2>some wranglers to get the alligators out of the area

0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:01.159
<v Speaker 2>so they could set up the shop shot rather and

0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.160
<v Speaker 2>they promise the camera people, all right, just go ahead

0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>and get it set up and then you can escape,

0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 2>because the camera people were extremely nervous about this, and

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.439
<v Speaker 2>so they went ahead and got the wranglers to get

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 2>all the alligators out of the way and then they.

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Shot the commercial.

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.399
<v Speaker 2>But just amazing when you go behind the scenes in

0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:25.879
<v Speaker 2>terms of this particular commercial, how much time effort and

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily money, but where to set up the shot,

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 2>where they should do the location, and just getting it

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.440
<v Speaker 2>running and the fact that this commercial has run for

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:41.359
<v Speaker 2>thirty five years now is just absolutely phenomenal. And they've

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:46.880
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that they've tried to change the commercial, they try

0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 2>to update the commercial or maybe go in a different direction.

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:54.520
<v Speaker 2>But every year they look at that and they see

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:56.640
<v Speaker 2>some of the storyboards that come up and they say,

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what, we just can't beat it. And so again,

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:04.119
<v Speaker 2>for me, the Christmas season has begun because with the

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 2>football games over the weekend, I saw that pop up,

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I think it was Saturday afternoon for the first time,

0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:12.200
<v Speaker 2>and I said, all right, the Christmas season has finally

0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 2>begun coming up. We've got a little Christmas present possibly

0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.000
<v Speaker 2>in the way. Well, I'll just have to tease you

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.679

<v Speaker 2>supporting the mission of Reese Across America. And don't forget

0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:42.400
<v Speaker 2>mark on your calendar that does Saturday the thirteenth will

0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 2>be the date that they do the laying of these wreaths.

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.919
<v Speaker 2>If you haven't signed up yet, if there's a local cemetery,

0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:50.360
<v Speaker 2>actually what you do is you can go to their website,

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:55.720
<v Speaker 2>reescross America dot org and you can there is a

0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 2>place on there where you can find a cemetery close

0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:00.879
<v Speaker 2>to you. You can sign up to participate and they

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.680
<v Speaker 2>will contact you tell you all the ins and outs

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:06.399
<v Speaker 2>and time to show up and so on. It's a

0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:09.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun and there's a link on there where

0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:14.639
<v Speaker 2>you can actually contribute or actually sponsor a wreath some

0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and you can specifically specify what cemetery or what location

0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:21.640
<v Speaker 2>you want that wreath, or you can just do an

0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 2>overall contribution and support number of wreaths only seventeen bucks

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.160
<v Speaker 2>a wreath, which is the same price as last year.

0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:33.640
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, that's coming up on the thirteenth, and well,

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I won't be able to participate this year because we'll

0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.680
<v Speaker 2>be down in Nashville for the Rush Truck Centers Tech

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Rodeo event, which I'm really looking forward to.

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:44.200
<v Speaker 1>That's going to be a lot of fun. And we'll

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:46.400
<v Speaker 1>talk a little bit more about that the closer we

0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:47.440
<v Speaker 1>get now.

0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Also, November thirtieth mark the end the official end of

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:58.360
<v Speaker 2>the Atlantic hurricane season. And if the hurricane season seemed

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 2>like it was a little calm.

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:02.959
<v Speaker 1>Compared to other years, well you're not wrong.

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 2>What's interesting in this is that the fact that the

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:10.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five hurricane season, which officially ended November thirtieth,

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 2>was notable for its striking contrasts, wavering between periods of

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 2>relative calm and bursts of intense activity generating very powerful storms. Overall,

0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:23.960
<v Speaker 2>the season fell within the predicted ranges for named storms,

0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:28.800
<v Speaker 2>hurricanes and major hurricanes. What was unusual is the fact,

0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:32.879
<v Speaker 2>according to Neil Jacobs, PhD, under Secretary of Commerce for

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Oceans and Atmosphere at.

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Noah Administrator North.

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:43.679
<v Speaker 2>So let me see the hurricanes section, for the first

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:47.439
<v Speaker 2>time in a decade, not a single hurricane struck the

0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 2>US this season, and that was a much needed break. Still,

0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 2>a tropical storm caused damaged casualties in the Carolinas. Distinct

0:22:56.200 --> 0:23:00.359
<v Speaker 2>distant hurricanes created rough ocean waters caused property damage along

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 2>the East Coast, I believe along Cape Hatterason there in

0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:07.560
<v Speaker 2>the outer Banks, there were I think twelve structures that were,

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:10.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, on the stilts, and the waves coming in

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:14.360
<v Speaker 2>dropped those, so there were twelve houses. But as far

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 2>as lives are concerned, I don't remember seeing any casualties

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 2>in terms of lives lost. But again, for the first

0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:25.399
<v Speaker 2>time in decade, in a decade, a hurricane did not

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:30.760
<v Speaker 2>hit the continental the United States. And what's interesting is

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.480
<v Speaker 2>is that looking at these over the year, because again

0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 2>I pay attention to this simply because at the beginning

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 2>of every hurricane season, all we hear from the climbiness

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 2>is that this is going to be the worst hurricane

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.439
<v Speaker 2>season on record because of climate change, and you know,

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:47.399
<v Speaker 2>if we don't do something about that, we're all going

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 2>to die and all this sort of stuff. Well we

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:51.160
<v Speaker 2>were all supposed to die about what seven years ago.

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 2>That hasn't happened, by the way, just so you know

0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:58.040
<v Speaker 2>we're still around.

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.920
<v Speaker 1>And all this. And it's such a line.

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you saw this what they call

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 2>the Conference of Participants number thirty that was down there

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:16.119
<v Speaker 2>in Brazil. We reported that, how you know, just absolute

0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 2>hypocritical they are.

0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they've.

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Got people from they had thousands of people attend this

0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:26.639
<v Speaker 2>convention down there as to ways to stop climate change

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:30.640
<v Speaker 2>and so on, and to accommodate these people, to have

0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 2>a highway because this thing sits out on a peninsula,

0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 2>and rather than traveling to the peninsula, of course you've

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:39.119
<v Speaker 2>got to drive through, you've got to go to a

0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:42.439
<v Speaker 2>private airport so that you can fly your private jets

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:48.480
<v Speaker 2>in there. And they constructed this three mile road paved

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 2>to this resort, chopping down one hundred and ten thousand trees.

0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 2>One hundred and ten thousand trees in the middle of

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:06.160
<v Speaker 2>the rainforest. Now, aren't we told years ago that we've

0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 2>got to do something to preserve the Amazon jungles, that

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:12.359
<v Speaker 2>that is the lungs of the of the world, and

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:15.240
<v Speaker 2>that these people coming in and clearcutting this this.

0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Is a this is a war, or this is a

0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:19.640
<v Speaker 1>what was.

0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:24.960
<v Speaker 2>An outlaw or should be outlawed, That this is a

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:29.440
<v Speaker 2>threat against mother nature herself, and this is an attack

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:34.720
<v Speaker 2>on mother nature. And yet for these climinus, and I

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:37.480
<v Speaker 2>call them climinus because if you look at what they're

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:40.719
<v Speaker 2>talking about, they have nothing to do with They're not

0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:45.040
<v Speaker 2>concerned about saving the planet. It's all about control, and

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 2>it's all about where you live, how you eat your home,

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 2>how you cook your food, what food you can eat,

0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:52.000
<v Speaker 2>when you can eat it, and so on, and it's

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:54.960
<v Speaker 2>all about control. So they have more in common with

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 2>the communists than they do as far as a climatologists

0:25:59.920 --> 0:26:03.639
<v Speaker 2>or a cologists and so on. So environmentalism to me

0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:06.639
<v Speaker 2>has become the new communism. And so I just mashed

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:09.360
<v Speaker 2>the two together and call them climbinus. And so these

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:12.199
<v Speaker 2>guys attend this meeting, and I don't know if you

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:14.680
<v Speaker 2>saw some of the nonsense that came out. There's some

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:17.399
<v Speaker 2>sort of dance ritual that they did. They're doing a

0:26:17.520 --> 0:26:20.680
<v Speaker 2>rap music to where they're talking about, you know, for

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:22.800
<v Speaker 2>the for you know, now they're gonna want you to

0:26:22.920 --> 0:26:25.959
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to teach you how to breathe properly. So

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:28.679
<v Speaker 2>it's in through the nose, out through the mouth. And

0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:30.920
<v Speaker 2>they started doing this and all these people were doing

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 2>this dance to it, and it was just absolutely ridiculous.

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 2>And then in the middle of this, they had some

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:39.639
<v Speaker 2>fire at some one of their tents or something along

0:26:39.640 --> 0:26:42.119
<v Speaker 2>those lines that they didn't prepare for. So there you

0:26:42.200 --> 0:26:45.399
<v Speaker 2>got those pollutants in the air, plus the hundred and

0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 2>ten thousand trees that were destroyed. I mean, this just unbelievable.

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:53.640
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, at the beginning of the hurricane season, yeah,

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:55.760
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna have the worst hurricane season ever.

0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:57.280
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be all these name storms.

0:26:57.400 --> 0:26:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Now in here they mentioned in the story, they say

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:02.400
<v Speaker 2>that it was right in line with everything that they predicted,

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:05.639
<v Speaker 2>the number of named storms. But since none of the

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:09.200
<v Speaker 2>storms hit the continental United States, a lot of these

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:12.800
<v Speaker 2>named storms were out in the middle of the Atlantic

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Ocean and never really went anywhere. They formed. They formed

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:20.439
<v Speaker 2>this great amount of you know, thrust and winds and

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 2>all this sort of stuff and qualified as a hurricane,

0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 2>but dissipated before it did any damage or even went

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 2>even towards land. So it's like, you know the old

0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:32.560
<v Speaker 2>saying that if a tree falls in the middle of

0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:35.359
<v Speaker 2>a forest and nobody's around to hear, it doesn't really

0:27:35.359 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 2>make a sound. Well, if a hurricane is out in

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:40.680
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and churns up all

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:43.840
<v Speaker 2>this water, all these winds and everything and never makes landfall,

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:46.080
<v Speaker 2>did it really occur? I mean, you know, it's one

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:49.040
<v Speaker 2>of those things. And so they made it. You know,

0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 2>any little tropical storm that came up. They started naming

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 2>these storms when they were just basically off the west,

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 2>because all the stuff from these hurricanes, it begins from

0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:02.439
<v Speaker 2>the west coast of Africa and then moves across the

0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Atlantic Ocean and hits our eastern seaboard. So when these

0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 2>things are like one hundred miles off the coast of Africa,

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:12.119
<v Speaker 2>they were quick we got to name the storm. All

0:28:12.119 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, they were coming up with the name

0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 2>of the storm, and it was just it almost seemed

0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 2>like they were naming these storms just to prove themselves right.

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Atlantic Basin produced thirteen named storms winds of thirty nine

0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:27.520
<v Speaker 2>miles per hour or greater. So I guess where I

0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:30.000
<v Speaker 2>live in Wilder, Kentucky on top of the hill there,

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:32.840
<v Speaker 2>we must have tropical storms at least once a month

0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 2>because we're always getting wind gus up there about forty

0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:41.480
<v Speaker 2>miles per hour. So anyway, Basin produced thirteen named storms

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:44.400
<v Speaker 2>winds of thirty nine miles or greater, of which five

0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:48.480
<v Speaker 2>became hurricane winds of seventy four miles or greater, including

0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:51.760
<v Speaker 2>four major hurricanes with winds reaching one hundred and eleven

0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:55.920
<v Speaker 2>miles per hour, and average season as fourteen named storms,

0:28:55.960 --> 0:28:58.600
<v Speaker 2>seven hurricanes, three major hurricanes.

0:28:58.760 --> 0:28:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess a couple of them.

0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Actually hit the category five, which is kind of interesting,

0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:08.000
<v Speaker 2>but again no damage, according to Ken Graham, director of

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 2>NAA's National Weather Service, he mentioned that while the CLI

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:18.040
<v Speaker 2>climatological peak of the hurricane season was quiet with no

0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 2>tropical activity, the season generated three five category five hurricanes,

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:28.160
<v Speaker 2>second most on record in a single season. Fortunately, short

0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:32.680
<v Speaker 2>term weather patterns largely steered tropical systems away from the

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 2>United States, and it was interesting. In one case, there

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 2>was two hurricanes. I don't remember which ones. Let me

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:44.760
<v Speaker 2>see which ones. Oh yeah, Okay, Humberto was churning and

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:49.680
<v Speaker 2>then it collided. Let me see, Amelda collided with Humberto.

0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:53.040
<v Speaker 2>And so these two storms were out there in the

0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 2>ocean and they kind of collided with each other, dissipated,

0:29:57.800 --> 0:30:01.440
<v Speaker 2>knocked each other off their course again away from landfall,

0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 2>which was kind of a unique pattern and a Unix

0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 2>system in the Atlantic Ocean. So anyway, the climatologists, the

0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:12.120
<v Speaker 2>climbunists that we're telling us that we're going to have

0:30:12.400 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 2>a horrible hurricane season. Once again, the so called experts

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:20.720
<v Speaker 2>were wrong. Coming up, I mentioned I was going to

0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 2>mention this in the previous in this particular segment, but

0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the White House is talking about giving us a Christmas

0:30:26.760 --> 0:30:30.120
<v Speaker 2>present by Christmas, a Christmas present issuer. I'm Kevin Gordon,

0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:39.120
<v Speaker 2>america'struck a Network seven hundred WLW. This is Americastrucking Network,

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 2>seven hundred WLW. If you miss any of our previous

0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:45.160
<v Speaker 2>shows or any of our shows, any particular segments, Hi,

0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 2>if that iHeartRadio app brought to you by a Thrush

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 2>truck Center.

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned this gift from the White House.

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Scott Besson, there's a very good chance that Trump will

0:30:54.880 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 2>name a new FED chairman by Christmas. Treasury Secretary of

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Scott Besson said last week he expects President Donald Trump

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:05.120
<v Speaker 2>to make a decision on the new Federal Reserve chair

0:31:05.160 --> 0:31:09.400
<v Speaker 2>by the holiday season. Trump has been a fierce FED

0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:12.560
<v Speaker 2>critic and recently said he had loved to fire Powell

0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 2>and encourage Besson to work on the chair to get

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:18.880
<v Speaker 2>the Central Bank to lower interest rates. And I have

0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 2>been a critic well, actually I have been a critic

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:24.520
<v Speaker 2>of Jerome Powell even back during the Biden administration when

0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I think they should have started raising you know, if

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 2>they were trying, if their mandate is to rein in inflation,

0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 2>then they shouldn't have stood sat there for a year

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:34.360
<v Speaker 2>and a half and talked about.

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 1>That the.

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Inflation was transitory, which in the definition means that it's temporary. Well,

0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:48.320
<v Speaker 2>temporary doesn't mean a year and a half of rising

0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 2>of inflation with a peak of nine point one percent

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:58.239
<v Speaker 2>in June of twenty twenty four, twenty two. Rather so

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:02.040
<v Speaker 2>the fact that they were to raise interest rates at

0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:05.960
<v Speaker 2>that time to slow down the economy, to hold back

0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:10.400
<v Speaker 2>and rein in inflation wound up with inflation getting extremely

0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:12.960
<v Speaker 2>out of control. So he didn't do a good job

0:32:13.040 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 2>back then, and he's even admitted of looking back, they

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:17.240
<v Speaker 2>made a mistake.

0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 1>And yet now, instead of.

0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Wanting to spur the economy, which everybody talks about interest rates,

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:28.600
<v Speaker 2>lower interest rates means more consumption. People have more money

0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 2>in their pocket, they go out and spend more, which,

0:32:31.280 --> 0:32:35.760
<v Speaker 2>by the way, spurs the economy and increase his activity.

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Apparently he didn't read that part of the economics book.

0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:42.920
<v Speaker 2>So the fact that, and I've been saying pretty much

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:45.680
<v Speaker 2>since the beginning of the year, I had heard this theory.

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who it was from. I don't know

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:48.360
<v Speaker 1>if it was Kevin.

0:32:48.160 --> 0:32:53.320
<v Speaker 2>O'Leary or whether it was Lou Dobbs or one of

0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:55.720
<v Speaker 2>the folks on Fox Business, but I heard the theory.

0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it was Scott Besten to raise the anyway, it

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:05.040
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter that possibly what the president should do, because

0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:09.080
<v Speaker 2>it was kind of clear that, well, he can fire

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the FED chair for cause. But this moon federal regurgitators

0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:17.160
<v Speaker 2>in the mainstream media would have a field day with that,

0:33:17.480 --> 0:33:20.320
<v Speaker 2>and they started whining about the independence of the Federal Reserve,

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 2>even though we know that the Federal Reserve is not independent.

0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Otherwise they never would have lowered interest rates six weeks

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:30.240
<v Speaker 2>before the election in twenty twenty four to try to

0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:33.120
<v Speaker 2>get Kamala over the finish line. But again that's a story.

0:33:33.560 --> 0:33:38.320
<v Speaker 2>We've talked about that extensively on this program. So again

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:43.800
<v Speaker 2>I guess to avoid the firestorm, he didn't fire Joan Powell,

0:33:43.840 --> 0:33:46.320
<v Speaker 2>saying that of course his term ends in May of

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:51.960
<v Speaker 2>next year. But the theory was floated that possibly what

0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:56.760
<v Speaker 2>could happen is that he should appoint or announce who

0:33:56.800 --> 0:34:00.640
<v Speaker 2>is FED chairman is going to be get that by

0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:02.440
<v Speaker 2>the Congress and Senate because it has to be a

0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 2>confirmation process, and then that person would be the Federal

0:34:05.960 --> 0:34:10.759
<v Speaker 2>chairman Federal Reserve Chairman in waiting. And so what they

0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:14.280
<v Speaker 2>were talking about at the time was that if they

0:34:14.320 --> 0:34:18.480
<v Speaker 2>did that, then it could be a situation where if

0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:21.560
<v Speaker 2>something came up as far as the economy, he or

0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:24.800
<v Speaker 2>she could weigh in on that and have their opinion

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:30.759
<v Speaker 2>hitting the networks and hit the news cycles, which it

0:34:30.840 --> 0:34:34.520
<v Speaker 2>would possibly be in contrast with what the FED current

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:38.560
<v Speaker 2>FED Chairman, Lion Jerry Powell is doing. And so the

0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:41.759
<v Speaker 2>fact that they were talking about that, I thought it

0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:44.560
<v Speaker 2>was an excellent idea and should have been followed through.

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Now apparently.

0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:48.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, here we are in December, we've got the

0:34:48.080 --> 0:34:51.000
<v Speaker 2>new FED chairman going to be done by May of

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:55.279
<v Speaker 2>next year. But if they announce who the fedchairman is

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:58.759
<v Speaker 2>going to be before Christmas, that should spur things in

0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:01.720
<v Speaker 2>terms of the economy as far as people looking ahead

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:05.279
<v Speaker 2>and thinking, Okay, this guy knows what he's doing, or

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:07.759
<v Speaker 2>this guy has a track record and we can see

0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:13.879
<v Speaker 2>good things coming in towards May thereabouts. So hopefully they

0:35:13.920 --> 0:35:16.920
<v Speaker 2>will determine who that's going to be and come up

0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:20.080
<v Speaker 2>with the names. Now, what they've been talking about is

0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:22.120
<v Speaker 2>there's several names that have been floated.

0:35:22.480 --> 0:35:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Let me see if I can find those. Oh yeah.

0:35:26.160 --> 0:35:29.080
<v Speaker 2>In the meantime, Beston has continuing to interview chair candidates.

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:33.560
<v Speaker 2>The slate of finalists he believed to include National Economic

0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Council Director Kevin Hassett, former Governor Ken Walsh, Blackrock executive

0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Rick Ryder, and current FED governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman.

0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:49.279
<v Speaker 2>So doing the interviews of those, they may settle on

0:35:49.320 --> 0:35:52.080
<v Speaker 2>somebody and announce that. Now a lot of people are

0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:55.360
<v Speaker 2>saying that they believe that it's going to be Kevin Hassett,

0:35:55.760 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 2>but of course that's what people are assuming or beenulating on.

0:36:00.960 --> 0:36:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there's some.

0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Sort of odds in Las Vegas where people are putting

0:36:05.480 --> 0:36:08.200
<v Speaker 2>odds on who the person will be, and maybe those

0:36:08.200 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 2>surprises and come up with somebody completely different. But I

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:14.560
<v Speaker 2>sure like to see who that person is going to

0:36:14.600 --> 0:36:17.720
<v Speaker 2>be and see what happens as far as that, because

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I think the markets would really appreciate knowing that there

0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:24.200
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a steady hand instead of line.

0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Jerry Powell involved as far as the as far as

0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:31.880
<v Speaker 2>the Federal Reserve is concerned, well, we've saw some of that.

0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:34.800
<v Speaker 2>We're beginning to see some of the results for Black

0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:38.719
<v Speaker 2>Friday and the holiday weekend, the Thanksgiving weekend in terms

0:36:38.719 --> 0:36:41.960
<v Speaker 2>of retail sales. That was interesting that they said that

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:45.280
<v Speaker 2>one of the things they tracked, consumers spent record amounts

0:36:45.280 --> 0:36:49.000
<v Speaker 2>online on Black Friday. But it's less clear how traditional

0:36:49.040 --> 0:36:52.240
<v Speaker 2>retail stores did on the official kickoff of the peak

0:36:52.280 --> 0:36:56.120
<v Speaker 2>holiday shopping season, with one tracking company showing a slight

0:36:56.640 --> 0:37:00.200
<v Speaker 2>increase in foot traffic and another showing a big drop.

0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 2>So again depending upon the tracking in information in terms

0:37:04.640 --> 0:37:08.080
<v Speaker 2>of where they what, who was doing what, and depending

0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:13.000
<v Speaker 2>upon what company or which agency does these an analyses,

0:37:14.040 --> 0:37:16.440
<v Speaker 2>which one is going to be accurate. Now as far

0:37:16.440 --> 0:37:18.960
<v Speaker 2>as what we're seeing as far as online sales, the

0:37:19.040 --> 0:37:23.000
<v Speaker 2>online sales, they said, we see Adobe, which studies date

0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:27.479
<v Speaker 2>the date called from over one trillion visits to US

0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:31.600
<v Speaker 2>retail stores, reported that US e commerce sales reached a

0:37:31.760 --> 0:37:36.720
<v Speaker 2>record eleven point eight billion dollars online for Black Friday,

0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:41.360
<v Speaker 2>up nine point one percent year over year. That exceeded

0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Adobe's forecast of eight point three percent e commerce for

0:37:45.640 --> 0:37:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Black Friday. Between ten am and two pm on Black Friday,

0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:56.640
<v Speaker 2>online shoppers spent twelve point five million dollars every minute.

0:37:57.440 --> 0:38:02.399
<v Speaker 2>Twelve point five million do every minute. So they're talking

0:38:02.400 --> 0:38:05.800
<v Speaker 2>about it being off to a strong start. AI driven

0:38:05.840 --> 0:38:09.600
<v Speaker 2>traffic is up one eight hundred and five percent. I'm

0:38:09.640 --> 0:38:14.520
<v Speaker 2>not so sure that I would trust AI driven, you know,

0:38:14.600 --> 0:38:16.840
<v Speaker 2>pushing where you should buy and all that sort of

0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:21.239
<v Speaker 2>stuff traffic teriffts that contributed to. Now they're saying that

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:25.560
<v Speaker 2>they're seeing some price increases, but again overall they're not

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:29.480
<v Speaker 2>seeing a major effect from that. What talking about customers

0:38:29.560 --> 0:38:36.520
<v Speaker 2>or consumers shopping with surgical precision, they're being very specific

0:38:36.560 --> 0:38:39.480
<v Speaker 2>as to where they're spending their money. And one of

0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:42.360
<v Speaker 2>the things that I thought was very interesting is that

0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:47.840
<v Speaker 2>gen zers are showing up in retail stores looking for deals.

0:38:48.440 --> 0:38:51.120
<v Speaker 2>You would think that what we've been hearing from that generation,

0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:53.720
<v Speaker 2>that a lot of their stuff would have been doing

0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:56.560
<v Speaker 2>They would have been doing this online. And of course

0:38:57.280 --> 0:39:00.480
<v Speaker 2>there are stories out and of course we don't know yet,

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:05.240
<v Speaker 2>but Cyber Monday could break spending records. Let's see, shoppers

0:39:05.280 --> 0:39:09.879
<v Speaker 2>will spend fourteen point two billion dollars on that day.

0:39:10.160 --> 0:39:13.800
<v Speaker 2>So all this talk of a weak economy, things aren't

0:39:13.800 --> 0:39:15.560
<v Speaker 2>as strong as they should be.

0:39:16.600 --> 0:39:18.440
<v Speaker 1>That people are worried about the economy.

0:39:19.280 --> 0:39:22.400
<v Speaker 2>As I've been saying for months, I think it's one

0:39:22.440 --> 0:39:26.399
<v Speaker 2>of those situations where you've had such a drum beat

0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:30.080
<v Speaker 2>of negativity from the spoon fed regurgitators in the mainstream

0:39:30.120 --> 0:39:34.759
<v Speaker 2>media trying to talk down the economy, trying to, in

0:39:34.800 --> 0:39:38.440
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, manufacture or recession. And so they're at the

0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:41.439
<v Speaker 2>point where they have put these ideas in people's head.

0:39:41.960 --> 0:39:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Yet they're saying that, you know, my economy is pretty good,

0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:50.279
<v Speaker 2>my job seems to be relatively safe, I feel good
