Speaker 1: This is America's Trucking Network with Kevin Gordon.
Speaker 2: Welcome aboard, Thanks for tuning in on this first show
Speaker 2: of November. I want to take a moment here briefly
Speaker 2: and talk about the devastation down in Jamaica. Up to
Speaker 2: this point, there's something like the number right now is
Speaker 2: fifty eight people that are dead, twenty eight in Jamaica
Speaker 2: and then twenty eight in Haiti. The estimates are currently
Speaker 2: Melissa has turned out to see it's not even on
Speaker 2: the radar screen anymore.
Speaker 3: And as a matter of.
Speaker 2: Fact, the National Weather Service is saying that there are
Speaker 2: no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. Cyclone
Speaker 2: activity is not expected for the next seven days. But
Speaker 2: the pictures and the devastation down there in Jamaica is
Speaker 2: just absolutely incredible. In our hearts and prayers go out
Speaker 2: to them. I mentioned this is our first show of November.
Speaker 2: It is Turkey month Thanksgiving at the end of the
Speaker 2: month of late this year, so which means we're gonna
Speaker 2: have a short holiday season or a short buying season
Speaker 2: between Thanksgiving and Christmas. But again, my favorite time of
Speaker 2: the year. It is one of my favorite holidays. I
Speaker 2: have a tremendous amount of happy memories being in the
Speaker 2: kitchen with my mom helping her cook. Going back to
Speaker 2: when I was a kid, I've mentioned before that I
Speaker 2: used to go grocery shopping with my father and enjoyed
Speaker 2: doing that. I'm one of the few men I know
Speaker 2: that actually enjoys grocery shopping. But when Thanksgiving came around,
Speaker 2: I got four other brothers and so there were seven
Speaker 2: of us in the family, and my dad's job was
Speaker 2: pretty much to keep everybody out of the kitchen so
Speaker 2: that Mom could get stuff done. But I would always
Speaker 2: notice that she'd get a little stressed and you know,
Speaker 2: trying to put together the meal, not only for the
Speaker 2: seven of us, but grandparents would come over, her mom
Speaker 2: and dad, and then usually we would have two or
Speaker 2: three other guests, and sometime even more so putting everything
Speaker 2: together and making sure everything came out on time. So
Speaker 2: when I got to be I don't know, maybe ten eleven, twelve,
Speaker 2: maybe ten or eleven, I started helping out in the kitchen.
Speaker 3: And there are benefits to that.
Speaker 2: You know, you get to lick the spoons, and you
Speaker 2: get to you know, you know, eat all the stuff
Speaker 2: as you're preparing.
Speaker 3: But I picked up a lot and learned some.
Speaker 2: Of the stuff that she does, did followed some of
Speaker 2: her recipes and helped her out and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: My mom used to cook two turkeys, complete with the stuffing,
Speaker 2: because she would buy the hens, which are a smaller turkey,
Speaker 2: because she thought that She said that she thought that
Speaker 2: the meat was a lot more tender and that it
Speaker 2: was a lot better. So preparing two turkeys and stuffing
Speaker 2: them and getting them ready and all that was quite
Speaker 2: a task, and so I used to help her out. Now,
Speaker 2: when my wife, Tara and I got together, we decide
Speaker 2: it at one point that we were going to have
Speaker 2: the family because we'd moved in with a bigger house.
Speaker 2: We had a nice dining room, and thought, you know,
Speaker 2: rather than having other relatives and so on. My family
Speaker 2: was up in Columbus. Her family was down here, well
Speaker 2: over in northern Kentucky where I live, and so we thought, well,
Speaker 2: all right, we can't get up to Columbus, so let's
Speaker 2: have everybody here. And so we planned to have this
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving dinner. So, you know, we'd been watching all these
Speaker 2: cooking shows and everything, and you know, when you watch
Speaker 2: these cooking shows, it make it look so easy, and
Speaker 2: you think, oh, yeah, we can try that.
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and do that.
Speaker 2: So we scrounged, were not scrounged around, but looked around
Speaker 2: for some recipes and got some stuff together and went
Speaker 2: out and bought everything the weekend before and made sure
Speaker 2: that we have it everything that we had the turkey
Speaker 2: and time to thought and all that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: But I was looking around for looking around for recipes
Speaker 2: and stuff. Now I had my mom's cranberry recipe. Now
Speaker 2: we used to call it cranberry's but I don't even
Speaker 2: know what to call it. It's kind of like a
Speaker 2: cranberry salad. It's not a compote or whatever, but it's
Speaker 2: it's got cranberries, it's got yellow and of course sugar
Speaker 2: in there, celery apples and pecans, and it goes into
Speaker 2: kind of a mold if it sets up properly, but
Speaker 2: even if it doesn't, it's still very tasty and very good.
Speaker 2: But a lot of times it'll mold, if you you know,
Speaker 2: because it's a bit well. I usually do a bigger
Speaker 2: batch so it molds together and looks pretty cool. But
Speaker 2: I love it, and so I had that recipe. I
Speaker 2: kind of had an idea what my mom's recipe was,
Speaker 2: because I'm having helped her in the kitchen and everything
Speaker 2: I knew she used, well, of course butter, but onions
Speaker 2: and celery. As far as the dressing was concerned, stuffings.
Speaker 2: Let's be clear here, I'm talking about stuffing. We're not
Speaker 2: talking about dressing. We're talking about stuffing in the bird.
Speaker 2: But and she would add stage to but we were
Speaker 2: looking around for a recipe, and we and Tara had
Speaker 2: this cookbook. I don't even know where we found it,
Speaker 2: where we were it popped up from. It probably came
Speaker 2: with a magazine subscription or something, and when I found
Speaker 2: it or when we saw it, apparently got gotten in
Speaker 2: some moisture and maybe fell in a sink or something
Speaker 2: like that, so it was part of it was well,
Speaker 2: you could tell it had been wet. But I started
Speaker 2: going through that and I was looking for just some
Speaker 2: maybe some dessert recipes. But I came across this recipe
Speaker 2: for a what they called a hurt herb stuffing, and
Speaker 2: then all this how to stuff in terms of when
Speaker 2: to get the bird, how long it takes to thought,
Speaker 2: how many hours it's going to take to cook it stuffed,
Speaker 2: and unstuffed, and then this recipe for this herb stuff
Speaker 2: this herb stuffing.
Speaker 3: And so got together.
Speaker 2: You know, in addition what my mom used, this stuffing
Speaker 2: has parsley and it almost sounds like a time a
Speaker 2: Garfunkle song, parsley sage, rosemary time plus Marjoram which is
Speaker 2: a spice, onions and celery. And so we got all
Speaker 2: planned ahead, and we got everything all together, and I
Speaker 2: did the cranberry stuff because it's got it. It takes
Speaker 2: a couple of days for it to set up, so
Speaker 2: you got to usually prepare that on a Monday, and
Speaker 2: then it'll firm up on between Tuesday and Wednesday, so
Speaker 2: it's nice and firm come Thursday. So we got that
Speaker 2: mostly done, chopped up, and gotten ready. But on that Monday,
Speaker 2: my wife got sick and started getting sick, and we're
Speaker 2: not really sure what it was and how bad it
Speaker 2: was going to be. So we just continue to get
Speaker 2: all the preparations done and chopped what we could ahead
Speaker 2: of time so that we'd be ready to stuff the
Speaker 2: bird on Thursday. And by Tuesday it was pretty clear
Speaker 2: that she was really getting sick and that we weren't
Speaker 2: going to be able to have this, so contacted her sister,
Speaker 2: and her sister said, well, you know, we've been having
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving up here before and we've been having different holidays,
Speaker 2: so you know, have everybody come up here. So I
Speaker 2: went ahead and I wound up flying solo that day,
Speaker 2: but it was and getting everything together. We got the shoot,
Speaker 2: I had the mashed potatoes, the sweet potatoes, and of
Speaker 2: course it did the dress, did the stuffing, and did
Speaker 2: the cranberries, and had everything prepared and then just packed
Speaker 2: it all up and took it up to her sister's
Speaker 2: house and she wasn't too far away, so it didn't
Speaker 2: it didn't cool down too much, but.
Speaker 3: Uh, it was, Uh, it was quite a day.
Speaker 2: It's interesting that when you think back on it on stuff,
Speaker 2: that when it's going to be when it seems like
Speaker 2: it's going to be overwhelming, when it seems like it's
Speaker 2: going to be a disaster. And fortunately this turned out
Speaker 2: very well, which then cave is kind of this incentive
Speaker 2: and everybody liked how the thing turned out, and so
Speaker 2: they said, all right, from now on, you guys are
Speaker 2: going to have the Thanksgiving every year. So it's evolved
Speaker 2: into that and we've been doing it for Hanush it's
Speaker 2: been about thirty four years now now as a real
Speaker 2: treat coming up here in the next segment, we're going
Speaker 2: to be talking with Michael Maddox. He is the Butterball
Speaker 2: Turkey talk line expert, and we're going to talk a
Speaker 2: little bit about Thanksgiving, how to prepare and all this
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. And my words of encouragement is that
Speaker 2: even though it may seem a little intimidating, but if
Speaker 2: you follow the recipe, if you go by the plan,
Speaker 2: it really turns out well. And when you hear people
Speaker 2: talk about how difficult Thanksgiving is, with a little bit
Speaker 2: of planning and a little bit of help, especially from
Speaker 2: the family members and taking the time to do it,
Speaker 2: it is certainly well worth it. Plus you are in
Speaker 2: control of the leftover turkey for sandwiches. Later on, I'm

Speaker 2: hash more than a decade. Couple of decades actually, But
Speaker 2: let's begin at the beginning here. Let's start with the
Speaker 2: game plan. What tips do you have to stress for
Speaker 2: your holiday? I found it amazing twenty one percent of
Speaker 2: people are intimidated by doing a turkey I would assume
Speaker 2: this is first timers or even people that do this
Speaker 2: on a regular basis.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Sure, it's a lot of times it's the first time
Speaker 10: could easily be seasoned veterans per se.
Speaker 11: It's he's in hosts per se because you know.
Speaker 10: Maybe have a host of this many people. We see
Speaker 10: larger gatherings together and all of those first time hosts
Speaker 10: maybe they're inviting their family or in laws or parents
Speaker 10: and those kinds of things. Like everybody, right, you want
Speaker 10: to have to get it right right.
Speaker 11: You want to make it perfect. You want to have great,
Speaker 11: great butterball turkey and the great side dishes and of
Speaker 11: course dessert.
Speaker 10: And so our goal is at ease to stress, right
Speaker 10: were don't make it easy by contacting us at the
Speaker 10: Butterball Turkey talk Line. A good trip or a trick
Speaker 10: or a tip that I share with individuals that are
Speaker 10: hosts and things like that is to you have your
Speaker 10: to do list, take some things off that list and
Speaker 10: ask friends or families ver you invited, hey, can you
Speaker 10: bring this side dishes or can you bring the dessert
Speaker 10: or can you bring beverages and just kind of lightens
Speaker 10: up their load and gives them a little more confidence
Speaker 10: so that that they can focus and you.
Speaker 11: Know turkey right, And it's to the larger size bulky.
Speaker 11: But it's very easy if you follow some steps like that.
Speaker 10: And we actually have a wonderful couple of open paand
Speaker 10: method that we use.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and from experience wise, I mentioned in the previous
Speaker 2: segment that I've been doing this for probably it's been
Speaker 2: about thirty four years now, and it was amazing how
Speaker 2: the first time I did it, just following the steps,
Speaker 2: taking your time, following the instructions. How well everything turns out.
Speaker 2: Of course, you got to do a little bit of
Speaker 2: prep ahead of time. So as part of that, how
Speaker 2: do you know what size of turkey to buy?
Speaker 11: Yeah, great question, you know. So for us, we say
Speaker 11: about a pound and a half to two pounds of turkey,
Speaker 11: and that.
Speaker 10: Gives you some leftovers, and so you can kind of
Speaker 10: look and kind of think about how much you want
Speaker 10: to have.
Speaker 2: You can also go to Now wait a minute, Michael,
Speaker 2: well you can't talk about just some leftovers.
Speaker 3: We got to have lots of leftovers. We got to
Speaker 3: have plenty of turkey sandwiches.
Speaker 10: I am a thousand percent I'm a leftover pain. I'm
Speaker 10: doing different things with it. And even you know, a
Speaker 10: couple hours that takes them out of the refrigerator and
Speaker 10: have a little snack as you're getting in there getting
Speaker 10: something to drink.
Speaker 11: The little snack is always tasty.
Speaker 2: Exactly what's the best time to buy the turkey right now?
Speaker 10: Butterball has a plenty of supply for the season like that,
Speaker 10: So if you're going to go with the frozen turkey,
Speaker 10: you can buy that anytime right now and put that
Speaker 10: in your freezer. So you have it, and then also
Speaker 10: thinking about the twentieth the week before Thanksgiving, November twentieth,
Speaker 10: a butterball calls that National thaw Day, and you can
Speaker 10: take that out of the freezer, leave it in the packaging,
Speaker 10: and put it in a pan and put it in
Speaker 10: the coldest part refrigerator or a secondary refrigerator.
Speaker 11: And allowing that to thaw.
Speaker 10: And a good little rule of thumb is four pounds
Speaker 10: per day, so if you have a twenty pound turkey,
Speaker 10: takes off five days of thought. So once a butterball
Speaker 10: turkey is totally thought out, you have up to four
Speaker 10: days to use it, which is great for the holidays
Speaker 10: like that, whether it be December or for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's that's kind of the perfect timing because
Speaker 2: you know, again it's a balk item and it's pretty big,
Speaker 2: so you got to kind of go ahead of time
Speaker 2: and kind of clear some stuff out of here freezer
Speaker 2: or refrigerator in order.
Speaker 3: To be able to accommodate this.
Speaker 2: But it's well worth it because you want to do
Speaker 2: it properly and you don't want to speed up the process.
Speaker 2: You don't want to wait till the last minute and
Speaker 2: have that stress on top of everything else, but again
Speaker 2: being stressful. I understand you guys have partnered along with
Speaker 2: Headley and Bennett, you've created this a first for the hosts.
Speaker 10: Yeah, some fun, some fun, building some confidence for them
Speaker 10: and where the idea is getting the holiday host giving
Speaker 10: them a leg up per se. And we've partnered with
Speaker 10: them and we actually have some Thanksgiving hosting pants and
Speaker 10: these are fun pants that have our butterball blue and yellow,
Speaker 10: even have some turkeys loot the turkeys on there as well,
Speaker 10: and we're actually giving those away for free and they're
Speaker 10: going to be available on the next couple Mondays at
Speaker 10: tenth and the seventeenth of November and they're available at
Speaker 10: twelve o'clock eacht in time, and you would go to
Speaker 10: Thanksgiving hosting pants dot com you can get a free
Speaker 10: pair of these pants will bias last. And what's kind
Speaker 10: of fun is that they have uh a place for
Speaker 10: your thermometer which is extremely important, place for your towels,
Speaker 10: some other gadgets if you wish, and even has a
Speaker 10: little bottle open on there for for hydration.
Speaker 2: You're hosting pants. It was your basically built in tool belt,
Speaker 2: so to speak.
Speaker 10: One hundred percent and we even have a kind of
Speaker 10: fun as there's a little emblem on there that's actually
Speaker 10: put on their upside down on purpose, so that way
Speaker 10: you can see the twenty hundred.
Speaker 11: Butter ball numbers. So in case you got to sneak
Speaker 11: out and call us and help you solve an issue
Speaker 11: or hey, what do you think about this.
Speaker 10: Or what's your So that's why they're calling one of
Speaker 10: the one of us, one of the fifty experts here.
Speaker 3: That is great, That is fantastic.
Speaker 2: The number upside down so you can look down is
Speaker 2: kind of a little cheat sheet there.
Speaker 3: It's fantastic.
Speaker 11: We'll help helping the host.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, well, Michael Maddox as a Turkey talk line expert,
Speaker 2: what's what most common mistakes people make?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 11: And you had mentioned that earlier. It just when to
Speaker 11: all that out.
Speaker 10: And that's why I recommend that National Quality is put
Speaker 10: that in your phone, right simple, put a little alarm
Speaker 10: on your phone on the.
Speaker 11: Twentieth of November.
Speaker 10: If you're doing that in December, just kind of does
Speaker 10: a little backwards map there four pounds per day. And
Speaker 10: even myself I put that in my phone as well,
Speaker 10: and so that way to remind me, hey, pull the
Speaker 10: turkey out wherever you're going to have that, and that
Speaker 10: four pounds per day, so that throwing not calling that
Speaker 10: out early enough. We do have a cold water method
Speaker 10: which will also work, and you're still working.
Speaker 11: With that to do that. Another item.
Speaker 10: Sometimes people will stuff that turkey in advance too early,
Speaker 10: and we want to recommend that you stuff it right
Speaker 10: before you put that in the oven. You can have
Speaker 10: the stuff and pressed and ready, have the turkey ready
Speaker 10: to go, but don't stuff it into your record where
Speaker 10: you put that.
Speaker 11: In the oven.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing you're a turkey stuffer then I do like it.
Speaker 11: I'm a fan of that.
Speaker 10: You know, it depends, but you know, butter Ball has
Speaker 10: some great products because if you have a small, small gathering,
Speaker 10: they also have a bone in breast. They have some
Speaker 10: bonus breast and buy meat as well. So it depends
Speaker 10: on the You mentioned sandwiches of things. That's a great
Speaker 10: thing as well. So having that addition to the turkey,
Speaker 10: you can have a couple of other items as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that seems to be one of the things. Is
Speaker 2: kind of like this toss up. I love to do
Speaker 2: a poll out there, how many people prefer this stuffing
Speaker 2: the turkey, and how many people prefer not to stuff
Speaker 2: the turkey. Now, what's interesting, I'm we with the gatherings
Speaker 2: that we've had, We've we've done well, We've stuffed the
Speaker 2: turkey and then made some on the side. And I'm
Speaker 2: telling you what the difference in taste. You can put
Speaker 2: the same ingredients in, you can even add some broth
Speaker 2: to it. But I'll tell you what, you just can't
Speaker 2: beat the flavor of it being inside the turkey and
Speaker 2: getting those juices that is just incredible.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And the key of that stuff turkey is then
Speaker 10: take a little longer to cook and maybe buy that
Speaker 10: whole turkey. We actually have a little chart on there
Speaker 10: as far as timing stopped or unstuffed.
Speaker 11: Give you an idea, and you guys in the in the.
Speaker 10: End, we're looking for one hundred and seventy degrees in
Speaker 10: the breast and thigh, which is just wonderful eating quality.
Speaker 10: And then the stuffing if you still that minimum one
Speaker 10: sixty five, which is wonderful for that stuffing minimum one
Speaker 10: sixty five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And with the various thermometers and stuff and the
Speaker 2: availability of the cooking tools, it's not hard to figure
Speaker 2: that out. I mean you just do the you know,
Speaker 2: stick the thermometer in there and know and then you
Speaker 2: know when to gauge, and it'll, I mean it'll it
Speaker 2: is right on the money. When you follow the instructions
Speaker 2: and do it to the proper temperture, it's going to
Speaker 2: come out moist. And I think that's one of the
Speaker 2: things a lot of people have a problem with Michael
Speaker 2: Mannix and Butterball Turkey Expert talk talk line Expert. A
Speaker 2: lot of people are intimidated because again, a lot of
Speaker 2: turkeys sometimes are dry. But if you follow the instructions,
Speaker 2: it's going to come out great.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 10: We even you have a how to videos at butterball
Speaker 10: dot com on where to probe with the thermometer in
Speaker 10: the different areas of the leg and the high and
Speaker 10: the deepest part of the breast as well as the stuffing.
Speaker 10: So if you're not quite sure, go to butterball dot
Speaker 10: com and you can see some videos how to do
Speaker 10: that and just give you kind of that confidence and
Speaker 10: everything right.
Speaker 2: And what are some of the strangest questions you guys
Speaker 2: have gotten over the years.
Speaker 10: I would say I had a couple that had called
Speaker 10: and they were hosting for the first time and they
Speaker 10: had family over and everything.
Speaker 11: Like this, and they weren't sure. And all of a
Speaker 11: sudden I was.
Speaker 10: Talking to them, and again they got very quiet, almost
Speaker 10: a whisper. I could barely hear them. They were hiding
Speaker 10: in the closet behind the winner coach, asking me questions
Speaker 10: because their in laws that just arrived and they weren't
Speaker 10: sure about how to cook it properly and everything.
Speaker 3: That's great, that's great.

Speaker 2: previous segment or any of our shows, hit up that
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app Of course, that's brought to you by our
Speaker 2: friends at Rush Truck Centers.
Speaker 3: We certainly appreciate.
Speaker 2: That that was such a whot to speak with Michael Maddox,
Speaker 2: Butterball Turkey talk line expert. And I'm telling you during
Speaker 2: the entire time and getting ready for it, and talking
Speaker 2: getting ready for the interview, all the flood of memories
Speaker 2: of over the Thanksgiving years, going back to with my
Speaker 2: mom and then the Thanksgiving we took over, and I
Speaker 2: guess I failed to mention first I was looking through
Speaker 2: my notes. I failed to mention that my initial solo
Speaker 2: where my wife got sick and I had to wind
Speaker 2: up doing it by myself. We were cooking, We cooked
Speaker 2: for twenty people that year, and I was absolutely shocked
Speaker 2: exactly how well it came out. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: again with a little bit of planning and a little
Speaker 2: bit of forethought ahead of time. Then over the years,
Speaker 2: last few years, her son, who's a chef, decided that
Speaker 2: he was going to take it over and do it,
Speaker 2: and of course him being at a certain facilities and
Speaker 2: he'd having to prepare the stuff for that facility for
Speaker 2: that day.
Speaker 3: We would go over there or then eventually go to
Speaker 3: his house.
Speaker 2: For the last couple of years it's been he's taken
Speaker 2: over the duties, but he moved out of town and
Speaker 2: his daughter is still living here and she can't get off.
Speaker 2: So he said, hey, how about if we have it
Speaker 2: at your house? And it's fine. So we're back at it.
Speaker 2: We're back cooking the meal this year.
Speaker 3: So I'm really looking forward to it.
Speaker 2: It's going to be a lot of fun, just all
Speaker 2: the like I said, all the memories of all the
Speaker 2: different times and the actual preparation and putting it together
Speaker 2: and then having everybody all around the table and the
Speaker 2: enjoyment of the day, and then of course the leftovers.
Speaker 3: Can't forget the leftovers. But it was always a lot
Speaker 3: of fun. I always look forward to it every year.
Speaker 2: So again my thanks to Michael Maddocks and I hope
Speaker 2: you got a lot out of that. I will be
Speaker 2: posting some information about that on Facebook in terms of
Speaker 2: where you can contact. Of course, you a Butterball Hotline
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you what it is a great resource.
Speaker 2: They will walk you through just about anything, and there's
Speaker 2: how to videos as Michael mentioned, and really great.
Speaker 3: So, like I said, I'm really getting excited.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can tell, but I'm really
Speaker 2: getting excited looking forward to Thanksgiving holidays, and I hope
Speaker 2: you are too.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of you that are out on
Speaker 2: the road. You have to postpone your things. I know
Speaker 2: a lot of people that are in the sort of
Speaker 2: food service industry and it's kind of difficult when that
Speaker 2: is the big day. Then you have to kind of
Speaker 2: plan your holiday different from the actual Thanksgiving celebration.
Speaker 3: And those of you that are out there on the highway.
Speaker 2: Those of you that will be on the road making
Speaker 2: sure that our holiday that we have the food on
Speaker 2: the shelves that we can get in order to be
Speaker 2: with our families. I hope a lot of people out
Speaker 2: there appreciate it. When you're traveling back and forth, if
Speaker 2: you're going to visit relatives and you see these trucks
Speaker 2: on the road, know that they are out there working
Speaker 2: so that you can have a great holiday. And of
Speaker 2: course they have to postpone theres either have there's the
Speaker 2: weekend before or then the weekend when they get back
Speaker 2: off the road. So again it's always a great time
Speaker 2: of year. But appreciate all those restaurant workers, service industry
Speaker 2: people that actually have to work on that day, So
Speaker 2: hats off to them and knowing full well that they're
Speaker 2: going to have to celebrate their days different than the
Speaker 2: rest of the country. Last week we got the US
Speaker 2: weekly jobless claims and again this is what the third
Speaker 2: or fourth week that the government shut down now in
Speaker 2: a full month. And again I can't emphasize that. I
Speaker 2: can't I've mentioned it before, but I've been interested in
Speaker 2: the fact that these numbers they keep talking about, Well,
Speaker 2: you got to depend on the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Speaker 2: for this, and you got to depend on the Conference
Speaker 2: Board for this information, the Census Bureau for this, and
Speaker 2: all this government stuff. And I keep emphasizing the fact
Speaker 2: that the federal Reserve has twenty three thousand employees. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell they do, but they
Speaker 2: sure aren't doing anything for our economy. They're not doing
Speaker 2: anything in terms of well, I'm sorry, and let me
Speaker 2: take that back. They are doing something for the economy,
Speaker 2: they're screwing it up by having our.
Speaker 3: Interest rates to darnheigh.
Speaker 2: I keep emphasizing the fact that if you compare our
Speaker 2: interest rates to the rest of the world, to the
Speaker 2: Western world, to the democracies out there. You look at Japan,
Speaker 2: you look at Europe, you look at their their exchange,
Speaker 2: their exchange rate, and their overnight funds rate, it's all
Speaker 2: in the one and a half to two percent range.
Speaker 2: So ours at three point seventy five to four percent,
Speaker 2: is almost double that. And if you're talking about spurring
Speaker 2: the economy, which we will be talking about in some
Speaker 2: of these stories, you know, this is the thing that
Speaker 2: would spur the economy. And every time they talk about
Speaker 2: these things, I'm surprised that, you know, it doesn't sink
Speaker 2: into their thick heads at the Federal Reserve. And that line,
Speaker 2: Jerry Powell finally decides that okay, you know, he claims
Speaker 2: their mandate is to make sure that inflation is under
Speaker 2: control and that the job market is steady. Well, the
Speaker 2: way you keep inflation low, I think I said inflation low.
Speaker 2: Keeping inflation low is making sure there's enough productivity. If
Speaker 2: the amount of productivity is high and the demand is steady,
Speaker 2: those prices go down. And if the interest rates are low,
Speaker 2: people have more money in their pocket. They can go
Speaker 2: out and buy things. They can go out and buy
Speaker 2: a car, they can finance an equipment for their business,
Speaker 2: or buy a new truck, or buy some trucks for
Speaker 2: a fleet. Those are the things that stimulate the economy.
Speaker 2: And then they claim that their other mandate is to
Speaker 2: make sure that the job market is strong. Well, if
Speaker 2: people are buying stuff, that means stuff's going to have
Speaker 2: to be made. If stuff's going to have to be made,
Speaker 2: there's going to have to be employees there to make
Speaker 2: that stuff. And once the stuff is being made, then
Speaker 2: it's got to be transported by people employees. Then it
Speaker 2: has to go to the warehouses, go to the stores,
Speaker 2: and the people in the stores have to be there
Speaker 2: in order to do so. That grows the economy. And
Speaker 2: I don't understand why this doesn't get through their thick heads,
Speaker 2: but again again a big proponent of supply side economics.
Speaker 2: Number of Americans filing for applications for unemployment benefits fell
Speaker 2: last week, economists estimated on Thursday. Now again this is falling. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's all within a range. So what happened to all
Speaker 2: this stuff about oh, if terriffs going to effect, if
Speaker 2: Trump does, is on Liberation Day when you saw what
Speaker 2: the well on Liberation Day April the second, the stock
Speaker 2: market tanked, I mean it went down what more than
Speaker 2: a thousand points and everybody was in a panic. And now,
Speaker 2: including that downturn, just since the first of the year,
Speaker 2: the stock market is up thirty four percent, in record
Speaker 2: highs day after day after day. Maybe a pause here,
Speaker 2: but they've been setting record high not for the week,
Speaker 2: not for the month, not for the year.
Speaker 3: But historically in the history of the stock market.
Speaker 2: And then you look at unemployment, and they're claiming that, oh, well,
Speaker 2: there was going to be all this unemployment, there was
Speaker 2: going to be a recession.
Speaker 3: As a result of these teriffs.
Speaker 2: And yet we've got unemployment well within the range, and
Speaker 2: the initial job of claims all within the well. The
Speaker 2: range that has been there has been for a number
Speaker 2: of years. Let's see where was I here? Assessmated Thursday
Speaker 2: and I see national filing application. Unemployment benefits fell last week.
Speaker 2: Economists estimated on Thursday the new job opportunities for those
Speaker 2: who are laid off remained scarce amid reluctance by businesses
Speaker 2: to boost hiring because of interest rates.
Speaker 3: I'll add that JP Morgan calculated.
Speaker 2: Let's see initial job as claims for state unemployment benefits
Speaker 2: dropped to a seasonally adjusted two hundred and nineteen thousand
Speaker 2: for the week ended October the twenty, down from two
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty two thousand the previous week. Estimates from
Speaker 2: Goldman Sachs and Nationwide were within that ballpark. Claims data
Speaker 2: were unavailable for Arizona, Massachusetts. Massachusetts again was late last
Speaker 2: last week with their numbers and now added to the
Speaker 2: list as Washington d C. Conomists made assumptions for the
Speaker 2: three in line with what the Labor Department would normally
Speaker 2: do when data is not available. Despite the US government
Speaker 2: being shut down for almost a month, states continue to
Speaker 2: collect the claims data submitting it to the Labor Department.
Speaker 2: Economists are accessing the data and using seasonal adjustment factors.
Speaker 2: The government published early this year to make the weekly
Speaker 2: claims assessments estimates, so they're able to do this. We
Speaker 2: don't need to wait on the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Speaker 2: to do this. Goldman Sacks, JP Morgan, I think City
Speaker 2: Bank last week, that'll mention them here. But Goldman Sacks
Speaker 2: and Nationwide are doing this and pretty much doing a
Speaker 2: fairly decent job. Claims that current estimate levels suggests the
Speaker 2: labor market remain stable and would argue against additional interest
Speaker 2: rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Says who it's a
Speaker 2: good time to stop here, because we'll pick this up
Speaker 2: on the other side. I'm Kevin Gordon, America's Trucking Network,
Speaker 2: seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3: This is Jim Hello, gym started.
Speaker 2: This is America'structing Network, seven hundred WLW talking about this
Speaker 2: unemployment claims and again, one of the sentences in here
Speaker 2: labor market remains stable and would urge against interest rate
Speaker 2: cuts from the Federal Reserve. Why if you're trying to
Speaker 2: spur the economy. And as we talk about when we
Speaker 2: talk about oil and gas prices, they always say, and
Speaker 2: it's like so many of these articles if you read
Speaker 2: them on a regular basis. If you fall all of
Speaker 2: this particular economic news and stuff, you will notice that
Speaker 2: it's like they have this boiler plate story available, and
Speaker 2: all they do is they go back in and they
Speaker 2: drop in the current numbers. Because a lot of the
Speaker 2: phrases are the same, a lot of the stuff that
Speaker 2: they talk about is the same. Whenever they talk about
Speaker 2: interest rates and they talk about how they will say
Speaker 2: interest rates, having interest rates low will stimulate spending by
Speaker 2: the consumer and actually increase demand as far as the
Speaker 2: oil is concerned, which could lead to additional oil prices.
Speaker 2: Now that is from an investors standpoint, somebody who has
Speaker 2: invested in the oil market and so on. For us
Speaker 2: having the demand there and with the supply available that
Speaker 2: is available, those prices have been coming down, as we've
Speaker 2: been seeing through some of the numbers. But again, it
Speaker 2: seems like every time somebody tries to, well, gee whiz,
Speaker 2: maybe we want to slow this down over.
Speaker 3: Here, put a little bit of pressure over here, they.
Speaker 2: Wind up brewing things up instead of the market taking
Speaker 2: care of itself. And as they keep talking about in here,
Speaker 2: they keep talking about in all these different stories, how
Speaker 2: the American public is resilient unbelievable. Getting back to this
Speaker 2: particular story again, job was claims fall economists estimate they'd
Speaker 2: gone down from down to two hundred nineteen thousand, down
Speaker 2: from two hundred and thirty two thousand the previous week,
Speaker 2: or in Klatchkin financial market economists at nationwide. This will
Speaker 2: boast through the view that those at the FED who
Speaker 2: think another rate cut isn't necessary in December. US Central
Speaker 2: Bank on Wednesday of last week cut benchmark overnight interest
Speaker 2: rate to another twenty five basis points to three point
Speaker 2: seventy five to four percent range. FED Chairman Lion Jerry
Speaker 2: Potwell I put Lyne Jerry in there. That wasn't part
Speaker 2: of the story, but it should be told reporters the
Speaker 2: further reduction of the policy rate in the summer meeting
Speaker 2: was not a foregone conclusion. No materials shift towards employment contraction,
Speaker 2: which is what they said was going to happen as
Speaker 2: a result of tariffs. They also said that there was
Speaker 2: going to be rampant inflation, that there was possibly going
Speaker 2: to be a recession. None of that's on the horizon
Speaker 2: right now, unless, of course, you listen to the spoon
Speaker 2: federal urgitators in the mainstream media, who, in my opinion,
Speaker 2: keep trying to manufacture a recession. But we're not letting
Speaker 2: them have We're not letting them, We're not having any
Speaker 2: part of it. Still, there has been a pickup and layoffs,
Speaker 2: with economists blaming low demand for labor because of economic uncertainty,
Speaker 2: tariffs on imports, and companies embracing artificial intelligence. Let me
Speaker 2: just go off on a little bit of tangent here.
Speaker 2: I've been seeing a lot of stuff, you know, obviously,
Speaker 2: in artificial intelligence has been in the in the discussion
Speaker 2: over the last several weeks, and a lot of companies
Speaker 2: are moving to that and trying to eliminate different physical
Speaker 2: presence of employees and replacing that with artificial intelligence. A
Speaker 2: little bit of word of caution out there. I've been
Speaker 2: seeing some stuff where people have relied on some of
Speaker 2: the chat, GBT, GPT and some of these other things
Speaker 2: for their information or to write certain documents for them,
Speaker 2: and some of the stuff, and with apparently, I guess
Speaker 2: people have assumed that this information is right, because after all,
Speaker 2: it is artificial intelligence, right, And so what they found
Speaker 2: is that some of this information has been wrong, and
Speaker 2: they've been quite embarrassed in their presentations that you know,
Speaker 2: making a proposal or something and your information is wrong
Speaker 2: and that people know it's wrong.
Speaker 3: That's pretty embarrassing.
Speaker 2: So this this business, you know, artificial intelligence, it's a
Speaker 2: matter of algorithms. It's a matter of input. And the
Speaker 2: old thing, going back to the days when computers were
Speaker 2: first being talked about, it's garbage in, garbage out. Once
Speaker 2: you put the garbage in, unless if you change it,
Speaker 2: you're just gonna get garbage out.
Speaker 3: And so.
Speaker 2: It depends on who's programming this, what type of schematics
Speaker 2: they're putting into it. And I'm telling you what, when
Speaker 2: you start using stuff, I don't care whether you're trying
Speaker 2: to use your remote on your TV and coordinate between
Speaker 2: your streaming service and your cable service, or if you're
Speaker 2: trying to do a Bluetooth connection, as I have done
Speaker 2: in the past, trying to maybe record an interview that
Speaker 2: I can't. You know, you can't interview somebody at midnight,
Speaker 2: So a lot of times if they're unavailable, I'll record
Speaker 2: the interview ahead of time, so I have to do
Speaker 2: that via Bluetooth and trying to get that up and running.
Speaker 2: My wife and I will joke all the time about
Speaker 2: you know, stuff having to do with the computer where
Speaker 2: the computer freezes, and we'll say the path thing between
Speaker 2: us is thank god we're not in an airplane, because
Speaker 2: by the time we get this rebooted and get back
Speaker 2: up and running either the television, the remote, coordinating these
Speaker 2: things and whatever, we'd have crashed by then.
Speaker 3: And so we get more and more reliant.
Speaker 2: I saw a story the other day where one of
Speaker 2: these agencies they say there was a glitch was at
Speaker 2: ASW that had overnight. They had this glitch because they
Speaker 2: instead a lot of companies, instead of having their own servers,
Speaker 2: they are runting space on an Amazon server and apparently supposedly,
Speaker 2: you know air quotes, there was a glitch with that.
Speaker 2: Some people claim that it possibly was hacked. But something
Speaker 2: like between thirty three percent and fifty percent of communications
Speaker 2: back and forth dropped off. People couldn't make transfers, couldn't
Speaker 2: make money transfers. People that people who haven't actually rely
Speaker 2: on the software to control the temperature of their beds.
Speaker 2: The beds actually got up to one hundred and ten
Speaker 2: degrees and they couldn't get into their phone and they
Speaker 2: couldn't you adjust it they couldn't change it. I guess
Speaker 2: they would have had to have unplugged it at some
Speaker 2: point in time to be able to sleep. But this
Speaker 2: reliance on technology, and I believe it was last week
Speaker 2: when we were talking to Louis Pugh about some of
Speaker 2: the technology and how some of this stuff is supposed
Speaker 2: to work but doesn't. He goes and they think you're
Speaker 2: going to have a driverless vehicle, a driverless truck in
Speaker 2: the next two to five years, are you insane? And me,
Speaker 2: I cannot imagine ever getting in a car that does
Speaker 2: not have a driver. I'm sorry that I don't believe
Speaker 2: in machinery that much. So anyway they're talking about here,
Speaker 2: so some of these companies are relying on artificial intelligence,
Speaker 2: and so they'd be thinking in terms of laying their
Speaker 2: employees off or laying people off. I'm telling you what,
Speaker 2: I think this is going to be a if people
Speaker 2: are If companies are jumping onto this to save a
Speaker 2: few bucks, they are making a big, big mistake because
Speaker 2: the human element, the intelligence of human beings is far
Speaker 2: superior to some nameless, faceless program computer that is going
Speaker 2: to be dictating. They're seeing Amazon laid off talking about
Speaker 2: cutting up to fourteen thousand jobs rooms global corporate workforce.
Speaker 2: Laughs are also happening automobile sector. American companies have announced
Speaker 2: more than twenty five thousand job cuts this month. According
Speaker 2: to Michael Hanson economists at JP Morgan, labor market will
Speaker 2: appear far away from the material still appears to be
Speaker 2: far away from material shift towards a contraction and employment
Speaker 2: that might signal an imminent recession, despite some recent headlines.
Speaker 2: So we're far away from any kind of a recession,
Speaker 2: but they still want to throw that out there.
Speaker 3: Let's see, Well, regular.
Speaker 2: Claims remain likely estimate the more more than one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand workers as far as now get this,
Speaker 2: as far as the federal workers are concerned, they estimate
Speaker 2: that over one hundred and fifty thousand dropped off the payrolls.
Speaker 2: But according to the numbers the analysis, because they're in
Speaker 2: a separate group and that's reported separately rather than the
Speaker 2: normal jobless claims. But that number that reports the federal
Speaker 2: job jobless claims, initial job as claims only went up
Speaker 2: ten thousand last month. So where's this one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 3: I don't know. So they're going to have to dig
Speaker 3: it a little bit more into that. By the way.
Speaker 2: Also, I want to mention also before we get out
Speaker 2: of here, America's truck a Network supports a mission or
Speaker 2: res across America. You can hear us every truck and
Speaker 2: Tuesday at five am and ten am Eastern on REES
Speaker 2: across America Radio, available on the iHeartRadio app. Search the
Speaker 2: word rese for Rees across America Radio. And thank you
Speaker 2: to all our truckers who support the mission of Reese
Speaker 2: across America. So again, folks, we're up against clock here,
Speaker 2: but I do want to say that oil and gas
Speaker 2: markets are pretty much holding steady. There's been a little
Speaker 2: bit of a shift, not much increase and so on.
Speaker 2: Things are pretty much holding steady. We'll get into a
Speaker 2: little bit more of that tomorrow. Well, folks, that wraps
Speaker 2: it up for us. Stay tuned for EDIE Radio Top
