1
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: This is America's Trucking Network with Kevin Gordon.

2
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: Welcome aboard, Thanks for tuning in on this first show

3
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: of November. I want to take a moment here briefly

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: and talk about the devastation down in Jamaica. Up to

5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: this point, there's something like the number right now is

6
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: fifty eight people that are dead, twenty eight in Jamaica

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: and then twenty eight in Haiti. The estimates are currently

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: Melissa has turned out to see it's not even on

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: the radar screen anymore.

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: And as a matter of.

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: Fact, the National Weather Service is saying that there are

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. Cyclone

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: activity is not expected for the next seven days. But

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: the pictures and the devastation down there in Jamaica is

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: just absolutely incredible. In our hearts and prayers go out

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: to them. I mentioned this is our first show of November.

17
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: It is Turkey month Thanksgiving at the end of the

18
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: month of late this year, so which means we're gonna

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: have a short holiday season or a short buying season

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: between Thanksgiving and Christmas. But again, my favorite time of

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: the year. It is one of my favorite holidays. I

22
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 2: have a tremendous amount of happy memories being in the

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: kitchen with my mom helping her cook. Going back to

24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: when I was a kid, I've mentioned before that I

25
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: used to go grocery shopping with my father and enjoyed

26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: doing that. I'm one of the few men I know

27
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: that actually enjoys grocery shopping. But when Thanksgiving came around,

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: I got four other brothers and so there were seven

29
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: of us in the family, and my dad's job was

30
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: pretty much to keep everybody out of the kitchen so

31
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: that Mom could get stuff done. But I would always

32
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: notice that she'd get a little stressed and you know,

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: trying to put together the meal, not only for the

34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: seven of us, but grandparents would come over, her mom

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: and dad, and then usually we would have two or

36
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: three other guests, and sometime even more so putting everything

37
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: together and making sure everything came out on time. So

38
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: when I got to be I don't know, maybe ten eleven, twelve,

39
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: maybe ten or eleven, I started helping out in the kitchen.

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: And there are benefits to that.

41
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: You know, you get to lick the spoons, and you

42
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: get to you know, you know, eat all the stuff

43
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: as you're preparing.

44
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: But I picked up a lot and learned some.

45
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: Of the stuff that she does, did followed some of

46
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: her recipes and helped her out and that sort of thing.

47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: My mom used to cook two turkeys, complete with the stuffing,

48
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: because she would buy the hens, which are a smaller turkey,

49
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: because she thought that She said that she thought that

50
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: the meat was a lot more tender and that it

51
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: was a lot better. So preparing two turkeys and stuffing

52
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: them and getting them ready and all that was quite

53
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 2: a task, and so I used to help her out. Now,

54
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: when my wife, Tara and I got together, we decide

55
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: it at one point that we were going to have

56
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: the family because we'd moved in with a bigger house.

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: We had a nice dining room, and thought, you know,

58
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: rather than having other relatives and so on. My family

59
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: was up in Columbus. Her family was down here, well

60
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: over in northern Kentucky where I live, and so we thought, well,

61
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: all right, we can't get up to Columbus, so let's

62
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: have everybody here. And so we planned to have this

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving dinner. So, you know, we'd been watching all these

64
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: cooking shows and everything, and you know, when you watch

65
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: these cooking shows, it make it look so easy, and

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: you think, oh, yeah, we can try that.

67
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and do that.

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: So we scrounged, were not scrounged around, but looked around

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: for some recipes and got some stuff together and went

70
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: out and bought everything the weekend before and made sure

71
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: that we have it everything that we had the turkey

72
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: and time to thought and all that sort of thing.

73
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: But I was looking around for looking around for recipes

74
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 2: and stuff. Now I had my mom's cranberry recipe. Now

75
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: we used to call it cranberry's but I don't even

76
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: know what to call it. It's kind of like a

77
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: cranberry salad. It's not a compote or whatever, but it's

78
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: it's got cranberries, it's got yellow and of course sugar

79
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: in there, celery apples and pecans, and it goes into

80
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: kind of a mold if it sets up properly, but

81
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: even if it doesn't, it's still very tasty and very good.

82
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: But a lot of times it'll mold, if you you know,

83
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: because it's a bit well. I usually do a bigger

84
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: batch so it molds together and looks pretty cool. But

85
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: I love it, and so I had that recipe. I

86
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: kind of had an idea what my mom's recipe was,

87
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: because I'm having helped her in the kitchen and everything

88
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: I knew she used, well, of course butter, but onions

89
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: and celery. As far as the dressing was concerned, stuffings.

90
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: Let's be clear here, I'm talking about stuffing. We're not

91
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: talking about dressing. We're talking about stuffing in the bird.

92
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: But and she would add stage to but we were

93
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: looking around for a recipe, and we and Tara had

94
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: this cookbook. I don't even know where we found it,

95
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: where we were it popped up from. It probably came

96
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: with a magazine subscription or something, and when I found

97
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: it or when we saw it, apparently got gotten in

98
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: some moisture and maybe fell in a sink or something

99
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: like that, so it was part of it was well,

100
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: you could tell it had been wet. But I started

101
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: going through that and I was looking for just some

102
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: maybe some dessert recipes. But I came across this recipe

103
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: for a what they called a hurt herb stuffing, and

104
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: then all this how to stuff in terms of when

105
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: to get the bird, how long it takes to thought,

106
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 2: how many hours it's going to take to cook it stuffed,

107
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 2: and unstuffed, and then this recipe for this herb stuff

108
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: this herb stuffing.

109
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: And so got together.

110
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: You know, in addition what my mom used, this stuffing

111
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 2: has parsley and it almost sounds like a time a

112
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 2: Garfunkle song, parsley sage, rosemary time plus Marjoram which is

113
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: a spice, onions and celery. And so we got all

114
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: planned ahead, and we got everything all together, and I

115
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: did the cranberry stuff because it's got it. It takes

116
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: a couple of days for it to set up, so

117
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: you got to usually prepare that on a Monday, and

118
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: then it'll firm up on between Tuesday and Wednesday, so

119
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: it's nice and firm come Thursday. So we got that

120
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: mostly done, chopped up, and gotten ready. But on that Monday,

121
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: my wife got sick and started getting sick, and we're

122
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: not really sure what it was and how bad it

123
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: was going to be. So we just continue to get

124
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: all the preparations done and chopped what we could ahead

125
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: of time so that we'd be ready to stuff the

126
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 2: bird on Thursday. And by Tuesday it was pretty clear

127
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: that she was really getting sick and that we weren't

128
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: going to be able to have this, so contacted her sister,

129
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: and her sister said, well, you know, we've been having

130
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving up here before and we've been having different holidays,

131
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: so you know, have everybody come up here. So I

132
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: went ahead and I wound up flying solo that day,

133
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,559
Speaker 2: but it was and getting everything together. We got the shoot,

134
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: I had the mashed potatoes, the sweet potatoes, and of

135
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: course it did the dress, did the stuffing, and did

136
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: the cranberries, and had everything prepared and then just packed

137
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: it all up and took it up to her sister's

138
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: house and she wasn't too far away, so it didn't

139
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: it didn't cool down too much, but.

140
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: Uh, it was, Uh, it was quite a day.

141
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: It's interesting that when you think back on it on stuff,

142
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: that when it's going to be when it seems like

143
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: it's going to be overwhelming, when it seems like it's

144
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: going to be a disaster. And fortunately this turned out

145
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: very well, which then cave is kind of this incentive

146
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: and everybody liked how the thing turned out, and so

147
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: they said, all right, from now on, you guys are

148
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: going to have the Thanksgiving every year. So it's evolved

149
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: into that and we've been doing it for Hanush it's

150
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: been about thirty four years now now as a real

151
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: treat coming up here in the next segment, we're going

152
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: to be talking with Michael Maddox. He is the Butterball

153
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: Turkey talk line expert, and we're going to talk a

154
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: little bit about Thanksgiving, how to prepare and all this

155
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. And my words of encouragement is that

156
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: even though it may seem a little intimidating, but if

157

272
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,280

273
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 10: method that we use.

274
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and from experience wise, I mentioned in the previous

275
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: segment that I've been doing this for probably it's been

276
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: about thirty four years now, and it was amazing how

277
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: the first time I did it, just following the steps,

278
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: taking your time, following the instructions. How well everything turns out.

279
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: Of course, you got to do a little bit of

280
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: prep ahead of time. So as part of that, how

281
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: do you know what size of turkey to buy?

282
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, great question, you know. So for us, we say

283
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 11: about a pound and a half to two pounds of turkey,

284
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 11: and that.

285
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 10: Gives you some leftovers, and so you can kind of

286
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 10: look and kind of think about how much you want

287
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 10: to have.

288
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: You can also go to Now wait a minute, Michael,

289
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: well you can't talk about just some leftovers.

290
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: We got to have lots of leftovers. We got to

291
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: have plenty of turkey sandwiches.

292
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 10: I am a thousand percent I'm a leftover pain. I'm

293
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 10: doing different things with it. And even you know, a

294
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 10: couple hours that takes them out of the refrigerator and

295
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 10: have a little snack as you're getting in there getting

296
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 10: something to drink.

297
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 11: The little snack is always tasty.

298
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: Exactly what's the best time to buy the turkey right now?

299
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 10: Butterball has a plenty of supply for the season like that,

300
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 10: So if you're going to go with the frozen turkey,

301
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 10: you can buy that anytime right now and put that

302
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 10: in your freezer. So you have it, and then also

303
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 10: thinking about the twentieth the week before Thanksgiving, November twentieth,

304
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 10: a butterball calls that National thaw Day, and you can

305
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 10: take that out of the freezer, leave it in the packaging,

306
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 10: and put it in a pan and put it in

307
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 10: the coldest part refrigerator or a secondary refrigerator.

308
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 11: And allowing that to thaw.

309
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 10: And a good little rule of thumb is four pounds

310
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 10: per day, so if you have a twenty pound turkey,

311
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 10: takes off five days of thought. So once a butterball

312
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 10: turkey is totally thought out, you have up to four

313
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,479
Speaker 10: days to use it, which is great for the holidays

314
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 10: like that, whether it be December or for Thanksgiving.

315
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's that's kind of the perfect timing because

316
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: you know, again it's a balk item and it's pretty big,

317
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: so you got to kind of go ahead of time

318
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: and kind of clear some stuff out of here freezer

319
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: or refrigerator in order.

320
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 3: To be able to accommodate this.

321
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: But it's well worth it because you want to do

322
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: it properly and you don't want to speed up the process.

323
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: You don't want to wait till the last minute and

324
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: have that stress on top of everything else, but again

360
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: what's what most common mistakes people make?

361
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 7: You know?

362
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 11: And you had mentioned that earlier. It just when to

363
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 11: all that out.

364
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 10: And that's why I recommend that National Quality is put

365
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 10: that in your phone, right simple, put a little alarm

366
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 10: on your phone on the.

367
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 11: Twentieth of November.

368
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 10: If you're doing that in December, just kind of does

369
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 10: a little backwards map there four pounds per day. And

370
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 10: even myself I put that in my phone as well,

371
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 10: and so that way to remind me, hey, pull the

372
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 10: turkey out wherever you're going to have that, and that

373
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 10: four pounds per day, so that throwing not calling that

374
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 10: out early enough. We do have a cold water method

375
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 10: which will also work, and you're still working.

376
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 11: With that to do that. Another item.

377
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 10: Sometimes people will stuff that turkey in advance too early,

378
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 10: and we want to recommend that you stuff it right

379
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 10: before you put that in the oven. You can have

380
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 10: the stuff and pressed and ready, have the turkey ready

381
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 10: to go, but don't stuff it into your record where

382
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 10: you put that.

383
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 11: In the oven.

384
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 2: I'm guessing you're a turkey stuffer then I do like it.

385
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 11: I'm a fan of that.

386
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 10: You know, it depends, but you know, butter Ball has

387
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 10: some great products because if you have a small, small gathering,

388
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 10: they also have a bone in breast. They have some

389
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 10: bonus breast and buy meat as well. So it depends

390
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 10: on the You mentioned sandwiches of things. That's a great

391
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 10: thing as well. So having that addition to the turkey,

392
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 10: you can have a couple of other items as well.

393
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that seems to be one of the things. Is

394
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 2: kind of like this toss up. I love to do

395
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: a poll out there, how many people prefer this stuffing

396
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 2: the turkey, and how many people prefer not to stuff

397
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: the turkey. Now, what's interesting, I'm we with the gatherings

398
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 2: that we've had, We've we've done well, We've stuffed the

399
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 2: turkey and then made some on the side. And I'm

400
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 2: telling you what the difference in taste. You can put

401
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: the same ingredients in, you can even add some broth

402
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: to it. But I'll tell you what, you just can't

403
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 2: beat the flavor of it being inside the turkey and

404
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: getting those juices that is just incredible.

405
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 10: Yeah, And the key of that stuff turkey is then

406
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 10: take a little longer to cook and maybe buy that

407
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 10: whole turkey. We actually have a little chart on there

408
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 10: as far as timing stopped or unstuffed.

409
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 11: Give you an idea, and you guys in the in the.

410
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 10: End, we're looking for one hundred and seventy degrees in

411
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 10: the breast and thigh, which is just wonderful eating quality.

412
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 10: And then the stuffing if you still that minimum one

413
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 10: sixty five, which is wonderful for that stuffing minimum one

414
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 10: sixty five.

415
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And with the various thermometers and stuff and the

416
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 2: availability of the cooking tools, it's not hard to figure

417
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: that out. I mean you just do the you know,

418
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 2: stick the thermometer in there and know and then you

419
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 2: know when to gauge, and it'll, I mean it'll it

420
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: is right on the money. When you follow the instructions

421
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 2: and do it to the proper temperture, it's going to

422
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: come out moist. And I think that's one of the

423
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: things a lot of people have a problem with Michael

424
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 2: Mannix and Butterball Turkey Expert talk talk line Expert. A

425
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 2: lot of people are intimidated because again, a lot of

426
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: turkeys sometimes are dry. But if you follow the instructions,

427
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: it's going to come out great.

428
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:41,240

Speaker 2: have gotten over the years.

439
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 10: I would say I had a couple that had called

440
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 10: and they were hosting for the first time and they

441
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 10: had family over and everything.

442
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 11: Like this, and they weren't sure. And all of a

443
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 11: sudden I was.

444
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 10: Talking to them, and again they got very quiet, almost

445
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 10: a whisper. I could barely hear them. They were hiding

446
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 10: in the closet behind the winner coach, asking me questions

447
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,760

537
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: Butterball Turkey talk line expert. And I'm telling you during

538
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 2: the entire time and getting ready for it, and talking

539
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: getting ready for the interview, all the flood of memories

540
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 2: of over the Thanksgiving years, going back to with my

541
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: mom and then the Thanksgiving we took over, and I

542
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: guess I failed to mention first I was looking through

543
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: my notes. I failed to mention that my initial solo

544
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 2: where my wife got sick and I had to wind

545
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 2: up doing it by myself. We were cooking, We cooked

546
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 2: for twenty people that year, and I was absolutely shocked

547
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 2: exactly how well it came out. I mean, you know,

548
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: again with a little bit of planning and a little

549
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 2: bit of forethought ahead of time. Then over the years,

550
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: last few years, her son, who's a chef, decided that

551
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: he was going to take it over and do it,

552
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: and of course him being at a certain facilities and

553
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: he'd having to prepare the stuff for that facility for

554
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: that day.

555
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: We would go over there or then eventually go to

556
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 3: his house.

557
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: For the last couple of years it's been he's taken

558
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 2: over the duties, but he moved out of town and

559
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 2: his daughter is still living here and she can't get off.

560
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: So he said, hey, how about if we have it

561
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 2: at your house? And it's fine. So we're back at it.

562
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: We're back cooking the meal this year.

563
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 3: So I'm really looking forward to it.

564
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 2: It's going to be a lot of fun, just all

565
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 2: the like I said, all the memories of all the

566
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: different times and the actual preparation and putting it together

567
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: and then having everybody all around the table and the

568
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: enjoyment of the day, and then of course the leftovers.

569
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 3: Can't forget the leftovers. But it was always a lot

570
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: of fun. I always look forward to it every year.

571
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: So again my thanks to Michael Maddocks and I hope

572
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 2: you got a lot out of that. I will be

573
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: posting some information about that on Facebook in terms of

574
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: where you can contact. Of course, you a Butterball Hotline

575
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you what it is a great resource.

576
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: They will walk you through just about anything, and there's

577
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: how to videos as Michael mentioned, and really great.

578
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 3: So, like I said, I'm really getting excited.

579
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can tell, but I'm really

580
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: getting excited looking forward to Thanksgiving holidays, and I hope

581
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: you are too.

582
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 3: Now.

583
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 2: I know a lot of you that are out on

584
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 2: the road. You have to postpone your things. I know

585
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: a lot of people that are in the sort of

586
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 2: food service industry and it's kind of difficult when that

587
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: is the big day. Then you have to kind of

588
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 2: plan your holiday different from the actual Thanksgiving celebration.

589
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: And those of you that are out there on the highway.

590
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: Those of you that will be on the road making

591
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: sure that our holiday that we have the food on

592
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: the shelves that we can get in order to be

593
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: with our families. I hope a lot of people out

594
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: there appreciate it. When you're traveling back and forth, if

595
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: you're going to visit relatives and you see these trucks

596
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: on the road, know that they are out there working

597
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: so that you can have a great holiday. And of

598
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: course they have to postpone theres either have there's the

599
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: weekend before or then the weekend when they get back

600
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: off the road. So again it's always a great time

601
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: of year. But appreciate all those restaurant workers, service industry

602
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,239
Speaker 2: people that actually have to work on that day, So

603
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: hats off to them and knowing full well that they're

604
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: going to have to celebrate their days different than the

605
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: rest of the country. Last week we got the US

606
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: weekly jobless claims and again this is what the third

607
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: or fourth week that the government shut down now in

608
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: a full month. And again I can't emphasize that. I

609
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: can't I've mentioned it before, but I've been interested in

610
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: the fact that these numbers they keep talking about, Well,

611
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: you got to depend on the Bureau of Labor Statistics

612
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: for this, and you got to depend on the Conference

613
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 2: Board for this information, the Census Bureau for this, and

614
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: all this government stuff. And I keep emphasizing the fact

615
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: that the federal Reserve has twenty three thousand employees. Now,

616
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell they do, but they

617
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: sure aren't doing anything for our economy. They're not doing

618
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: anything in terms of well, I'm sorry, and let me

619
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: take that back. They are doing something for the economy,

620
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: they're screwing it up by having our.

621
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 3: Interest rates to darnheigh.

622
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 2: I keep emphasizing the fact that if you compare our

623
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: interest rates to the rest of the world, to the

624
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: Western world, to the democracies out there. You look at Japan,

625
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: you look at Europe, you look at their their exchange,

626
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 2: their exchange rate, and their overnight funds rate, it's all

627
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 2: in the one and a half to two percent range.

628
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: So ours at three point seventy five to four percent,

629
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: is almost double that. And if you're talking about spurring

630
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: the economy, which we will be talking about in some

631
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: of these stories, you know, this is the thing that

632
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: would spur the economy. And every time they talk about

633
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: these things, I'm surprised that, you know, it doesn't sink

634
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: into their thick heads at the Federal Reserve. And that line,

635
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: Jerry Powell finally decides that okay, you know, he claims

636
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: their mandate is to make sure that inflation is under

637
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 2: control and that the job market is steady. Well, the

638
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: way you keep inflation low, I think I said inflation low.

639
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 2: Keeping inflation low is making sure there's enough productivity. If

640
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: the amount of productivity is high and the demand is steady,

641
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 2: those prices go down. And if the interest rates are low,

642
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: people have more money in their pocket. They can go

643
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 2: out and buy things. They can go out and buy

644
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: a car, they can finance an equipment for their business,

645
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 2: or buy a new truck, or buy some trucks for

646
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 2: a fleet. Those are the things that stimulate the economy.

647
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 2: And then they claim that their other mandate is to

648
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 2: make sure that the job market is strong. Well, if

649
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 2: people are buying stuff, that means stuff's going to have

650
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: to be made. If stuff's going to have to be made,

651
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: there's going to have to be employees there to make

652
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: that stuff. And once the stuff is being made, then

653
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,239
Speaker 2: it's got to be transported by people employees. Then it

654
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: has to go to the warehouses, go to the stores,

655
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: and the people in the stores have to be there

656
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: in order to do so. That grows the economy. And

657
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 2: I don't understand why this doesn't get through their thick heads,

658
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: but again again a big proponent of supply side economics.

659
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: Number of Americans filing for applications for unemployment benefits fell

660
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: last week, economists estimated on Thursday. Now again this is falling. Okay,

661
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: it's all within a range. So what happened to all

662
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 2: this stuff about oh, if terriffs going to effect, if

663
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: Trump does, is on Liberation Day when you saw what

664
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 2: the well on Liberation Day April the second, the stock

665
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: market tanked, I mean it went down what more than

666
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: a thousand points and everybody was in a panic. And now,

667
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 2: including that downturn, just since the first of the year,

668
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: the stock market is up thirty four percent, in record

669
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: highs day after day after day. Maybe a pause here,

670
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 2: but they've been setting record high not for the week,

671
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: not for the month, not for the year.

672
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: But historically in the history of the stock market.

673
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 2: And then you look at unemployment, and they're claiming that, oh, well,

674
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 2: there was going to be all this unemployment, there was

675
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: going to be a recession.

676
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: As a result of these teriffs.

677
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 2: And yet we've got unemployment well within the range, and

678
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: the initial job of claims all within the well. The

679
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: range that has been there has been for a number

680
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: of years. Let's see where was I here? Assessmated Thursday

681
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: and I see national filing application. Unemployment benefits fell last week.

682
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: Economists estimated on Thursday the new job opportunities for those

683
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: who are laid off remained scarce amid reluctance by businesses

684
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: to boost hiring because of interest rates.

685
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 3: I'll add that JP Morgan calculated.

686
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: Let's see initial job as claims for state unemployment benefits

687
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: dropped to a seasonally adjusted two hundred and nineteen thousand

688
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: for the week ended October the twenty, down from two

689
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty two thousand the previous week. Estimates from

690
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 2: Goldman Sachs and Nationwide were within that ballpark. Claims data

691
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 2: were unavailable for Arizona, Massachusetts. Massachusetts again was late last

692
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 2: last week with their numbers and now added to the

693
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: list as Washington d C. Conomists made assumptions for the

694
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 2: three in line with what the Labor Department would normally

695
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 2: do when data is not available. Despite the US government

696
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: being shut down for almost a month, states continue to

697
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 2: collect the claims data submitting it to the Labor Department.

698
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: Economists are accessing the data and using seasonal adjustment factors.

699
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: The government published early this year to make the weekly

700
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 2: claims assessments estimates, so they're able to do this. We

701
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 2: don't need to wait on the Bureau of Labor Statistics

702
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 2: to do this. Goldman Sacks, JP Morgan, I think City

703
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 2: Bank last week, that'll mention them here. But Goldman Sacks

704
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 2: and Nationwide are doing this and pretty much doing a

705
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: fairly decent job. Claims that current estimate levels suggests the

706
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: labor market remain stable and would argue against additional interest

707
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 2: rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Says who it's a

708
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: good time to stop here, because we'll pick this up

709
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 2: on the other side. I'm Kevin Gordon, America's Trucking Network,

710
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 2: seven hundred WLW.

711
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 3: This is Jim Hello, gym started.

712
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 2: This is America'structing Network, seven hundred WLW talking about this

713
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 2: unemployment claims and again, one of the sentences in here

714
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: labor market remains stable and would urge against interest rate

715
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 2: cuts from the Federal Reserve. Why if you're trying to

716
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: spur the economy. And as we talk about when we

717
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: talk about oil and gas prices, they always say, and

718
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 2: it's like so many of these articles if you read

719
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: them on a regular basis. If you fall all of

720
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: this particular economic news and stuff, you will notice that

721
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 2: it's like they have this boiler plate story available, and

722
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: all they do is they go back in and they

723
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 2: drop in the current numbers. Because a lot of the

724
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 2: phrases are the same, a lot of the stuff that

725
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 2: they talk about is the same. Whenever they talk about

726
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: interest rates and they talk about how they will say

727
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 2: interest rates, having interest rates low will stimulate spending by

728
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 2: the consumer and actually increase demand as far as the

729
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 2: oil is concerned, which could lead to additional oil prices.

730
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 2: Now that is from an investors standpoint, somebody who has

731
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 2: invested in the oil market and so on. For us

732
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: having the demand there and with the supply available that

733
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 2: is available, those prices have been coming down, as we've

734
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 2: been seeing through some of the numbers. But again, it

735
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 2: seems like every time somebody tries to, well, gee whiz,

736
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 2: maybe we want to slow this down over.

737
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 3: Here, put a little bit of pressure over here, they.

738
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 2: Wind up brewing things up instead of the market taking

739
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 2: care of itself. And as they keep talking about in here,

740
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: they keep talking about in all these different stories, how

741
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 2: the American public is resilient unbelievable. Getting back to this

742
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 2: particular story again, job was claims fall economists estimate they'd

743
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: gone down from down to two hundred nineteen thousand, down

744
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 2: from two hundred and thirty two thousand the previous week,

745
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 2: or in Klatchkin financial market economists at nationwide. This will

746
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 2: boast through the view that those at the FED who

747
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 2: think another rate cut isn't necessary in December. US Central

748
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: Bank on Wednesday of last week cut benchmark overnight interest

749
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: rate to another twenty five basis points to three point

750
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: seventy five to four percent range. FED Chairman Lion Jerry

751
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 2: Potwell I put Lyne Jerry in there. That wasn't part

752
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 2: of the story, but it should be told reporters the

753
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: further reduction of the policy rate in the summer meeting

754
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: was not a foregone conclusion. No materials shift towards employment contraction,

755
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 2: which is what they said was going to happen as

756
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: a result of tariffs. They also said that there was

757
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 2: going to be rampant inflation, that there was possibly going

758
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 2: to be a recession. None of that's on the horizon

759
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 2: right now, unless, of course, you listen to the spoon

760
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 2: federal urgitators in the mainstream media, who, in my opinion,

761
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 2: keep trying to manufacture a recession. But we're not letting

762
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 2: them have We're not letting them, We're not having any

763
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: part of it. Still, there has been a pickup and layoffs,

764
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: with economists blaming low demand for labor because of economic uncertainty,

765
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: tariffs on imports, and companies embracing artificial intelligence. Let me

766
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 2: just go off on a little bit of tangent here.

767
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 2: I've been seeing a lot of stuff, you know, obviously,

768
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: in artificial intelligence has been in the in the discussion

769
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 2: over the last several weeks, and a lot of companies

770
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 2: are moving to that and trying to eliminate different physical

771
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 2: presence of employees and replacing that with artificial intelligence. A

772
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 2: little bit of word of caution out there. I've been

773
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 2: seeing some stuff where people have relied on some of

774
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: the chat, GBT, GPT and some of these other things

775
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 2: for their information or to write certain documents for them,

776
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: and some of the stuff, and with apparently, I guess

777
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 2: people have assumed that this information is right, because after all,

778
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: it is artificial intelligence, right, And so what they found

779
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: is that some of this information has been wrong, and

780
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 2: they've been quite embarrassed in their presentations that you know,

781
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 2: making a proposal or something and your information is wrong

782
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 2: and that people know it's wrong.

783
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 3: That's pretty embarrassing.

784
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: So this this business, you know, artificial intelligence, it's a

785
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 2: matter of algorithms. It's a matter of input. And the

786
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 2: old thing, going back to the days when computers were

787
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 2: first being talked about, it's garbage in, garbage out. Once

788
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 2: you put the garbage in, unless if you change it,

789
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: you're just gonna get garbage out.

790
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 3: And so.

791
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 2: It depends on who's programming this, what type of schematics

792
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 2: they're putting into it. And I'm telling you what, when

793
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 2: you start using stuff, I don't care whether you're trying

794
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: to use your remote on your TV and coordinate between

795
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 2: your streaming service and your cable service, or if you're

796
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 2: trying to do a Bluetooth connection, as I have done

797
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 2: in the past, trying to maybe record an interview that

798
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: I can't. You know, you can't interview somebody at midnight,

799
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 2: So a lot of times if they're unavailable, I'll record

800
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: the interview ahead of time, so I have to do

801
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 2: that via Bluetooth and trying to get that up and running.

802
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 2: My wife and I will joke all the time about

803
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 2: you know, stuff having to do with the computer where

804
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 2: the computer freezes, and we'll say the path thing between

805
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: us is thank god we're not in an airplane, because

806
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: by the time we get this rebooted and get back

807
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: up and running either the television, the remote, coordinating these

808
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: things and whatever, we'd have crashed by then.

809
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 3: And so we get more and more reliant.

810
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 2: I saw a story the other day where one of

811
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 2: these agencies they say there was a glitch was at

812
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 2: ASW that had overnight. They had this glitch because they

813
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 2: instead a lot of companies, instead of having their own servers,

814
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 2: they are runting space on an Amazon server and apparently supposedly,

815
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 2: you know air quotes, there was a glitch with that.

816
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: Some people claim that it possibly was hacked. But something

817
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 2: like between thirty three percent and fifty percent of communications

818
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 2: back and forth dropped off. People couldn't make transfers, couldn't

819
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 2: make money transfers. People that people who haven't actually rely

820
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 2: on the software to control the temperature of their beds.

821
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 2: The beds actually got up to one hundred and ten

822
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 2: degrees and they couldn't get into their phone and they

823
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 2: couldn't you adjust it they couldn't change it. I guess

824
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 2: they would have had to have unplugged it at some

825
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: point in time to be able to sleep. But this

826
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 2: reliance on technology, and I believe it was last week

827
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 2: when we were talking to Louis Pugh about some of

828
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 2: the technology and how some of this stuff is supposed

829
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: to work but doesn't. He goes and they think you're

830
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 2: going to have a driverless vehicle, a driverless truck in

831
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 2: the next two to five years, are you insane? And me,

832
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 2: I cannot imagine ever getting in a car that does

833
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 2: not have a driver. I'm sorry that I don't believe

834
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: in machinery that much. So anyway they're talking about here,

835
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 2: so some of these companies are relying on artificial intelligence,

836
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 2: and so they'd be thinking in terms of laying their

837
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 2: employees off or laying people off. I'm telling you what,

838
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 2: I think this is going to be a if people

839
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: are If companies are jumping onto this to save a

840
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 2: few bucks, they are making a big, big mistake because

841
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 2: the human element, the intelligence of human beings is far

842
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: superior to some nameless, faceless program computer that is going

843
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 2: to be dictating. They're seeing Amazon laid off talking about

844
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 2: cutting up to fourteen thousand jobs rooms global corporate workforce.

845
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 2: Laughs are also happening automobile sector. American companies have announced

846
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 2: more than twenty five thousand job cuts this month. According

847
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 2: to Michael Hanson economists at JP Morgan, labor market will

848
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 2: appear far away from the material still appears to be

849
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 2: far away from material shift towards a contraction and employment

850
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 2: that might signal an imminent recession, despite some recent headlines.

851
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 2: So we're far away from any kind of a recession,

852
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: but they still want to throw that out there.

853
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 3: Let's see, Well, regular.

854
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: Claims remain likely estimate the more more than one hundred

855
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand workers as far as now get this,

856
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 2: as far as the federal workers are concerned, they estimate

857
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 2: that over one hundred and fifty thousand dropped off the payrolls.

858
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 2: But according to the numbers the analysis, because they're in

859
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 2: a separate group and that's reported separately rather than the

860
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 2: normal jobless claims. But that number that reports the federal

861
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 2: job jobless claims, initial job as claims only went up

862
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 2: ten thousand last month. So where's this one hundred and fifty.

863
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. So they're going to have to dig

864
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 3: it a little bit more into that. By the way.

865
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 2: Also, I want to mention also before we get out

866
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 2: of here, America's truck a Network supports a mission or

873
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,720
Speaker 2: but I do want to say that oil and gas

874
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 2: markets are pretty much holding steady. There's been a little

875
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 2: bit of a shift, not much increase and so on.

876
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 2: Things are pretty much holding steady. We'll get into a

877
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 2: little bit more of that tomorrow. Well, folks, that wraps

878
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 2: it up for us. Stay tuned for EDIE Radio Top
