In my mind. 24 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: Black Friday should start early and it should end early, 25 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: like people should have been headed home as we were 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: going on the air at two o'clock.

I don't know why people put themselves 46 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: through it, because here's the deal. Those stores are still 47 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: gonna be there tomorrow. And is that me on my bonk?

I can't understand it, Like I understand the 53 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: enthusiasm early in the morning. I know a lot of 54 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: people it's tradition. It's not my bag, but I know 55 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: it's tradition. Whatever, I get it. For my wife, it 56 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: was an event. She always wanted to get together with 57 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: her mother and then go do the Black Friday doorbuster 58 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: all that crap. When we first started dating in the 59 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: early two thousand, she wanted to do all that garbage. 60 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: I always hated it, but it's her thing, right, she 61 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: tells me. She goes, Oh, I told her. She's in Phoenix. 62 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: She's doing some work there's she's working with she owns 63 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: a business and some of her employees there and so 64 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: she's working with her employee. She'll be back in like 65 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: two weeks. She when I get back, we can go 66 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: Christmas shopping. And I go I started sweating, right then, Okay, 67 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: all right, I can do this. I can prepare it. 68 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 1: I'll pick up at the airport and then all right, 69 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: I get anxiety around crowds. I have to prepare for 70 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: it and mentally have to get ready to do Christmas shopping. 71 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: And when you tell me that there's backups, forget about. 72 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: Getting there is gonna take forever because the five's all 73 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: backed up. But if you're going to the Citadel, it's 74 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: gonna take an hour to find a parting spot. Nope, 75 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: I'm freaking out right now. I'm sweating four people driving 76 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: around in the parking lot at this very moment. There's nothing. 77 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: There's no reason for it. And if I were with 78 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: my wife, you know what she would do. She go 79 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: settle down, It'll be fine. No, it's not gonna be fine. 80 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: It's dinner time. I'm hungry, I gotta pee. We're not 81 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: gonna do anything right now. Let's just go home. It's 82 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: gonna take us another hour on the road. Just get home. 83 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: And you're talking about an hour of parking and then 84 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: shopping and then another hour on the road. Let's just 85 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: go now. Nope, I don't understand. It's my fault, by 86 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: the way, that I don't understand you. You people that 87 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: are driving around and willing to wait an hour to 88 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: try to find a parking spot at five o'clock on 89 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: Friday night. It's me. It's totally me. I just don't 90 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: understand your perspective. I don't. I don't get it. You 91 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: do you, that's fine. I accept you for who you are. 92 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: I do. I just don't understand you. And I'm trying 93 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: because my wife is like you. This is a point 94 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: of contention. I just don't understand her, and she doesn't 95 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: understand me either. I don't know why this bothers you 96 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: so much. I don't know how this kid bother you. 97 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god, an hour for a parking spot. Thank you, Dave. 98 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. We'll get it up that I don't know. 99 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: Maybe that wait time for a parking spot is down 100 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: to say, fifty minutes. Now, that'd be nice if we 101 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: got that in our next traffic update. If you are 102 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: working in the retail or grocery industry right now, you 103 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: may be excited to hear that the La City Council 104 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: has heard your please to make things easier on you. 105 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: If you are an owner in the retail or grocery realm, 106 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,239 Speaker 1: you may be a little perturbed by the city council, 107 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: thinking they're not listening to what's going on in your world. 108 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: Here's what the La City Council was doing. This was 109 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: a Channel seven that had the story it is the 110 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: time of year where retail rotary workers are clocking in 111 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: many hours, and today the La City Council voted to 112 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: pacity fair work Week policy, which would give thousands of 113 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: workers new protections. I would use what a college Guanda 114 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: has new details. Workers say during the pandemic, they put 115 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: in long hours on the job and there were sometimes 116 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: last minute changes. These workers have to deal with unfair 117 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: scheduling practices that make it hard for them to plan 118 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: their lives and their budgets. Are the what is the 119 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: unfair scheduling practices? That sounds That sounds lutitious, doesn't it. 120 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: You're engaging in unfair scheduling practices. What does that mean? 121 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: Unfair scheduling practices as fair is a condition of perspective, right, 122 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: So what does that mean? Unfair? It's unfair because they 123 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: say they don't know what their schedules going to be, 124 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: and that's not fair to them. It's giving all of 125 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: the power to the employer, who can make up the 126 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: schedule and they can determine the employee's schedule. But what 127 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: they're doing is they're determining the employee's life. Right, the 128 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: employee can't schedule their own lives because they're at the 129 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: mercy of the employer, and the employeer should be the 130 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: ones who have their ducks in a row and are 131 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: more flexible. So say the workers a delay. As protesters 132 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: in city council shouted to demand the resignation of Kevin 133 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: de Leone, after the room was cleared out, the council 134 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: moved ahead and voted for the Fair work Week policy. 135 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: The motion applies to large retailers and grocery stores and 136 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: impacts seventy thousand workers. Heidi Lopez works at a grocery 137 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: store let me just stop for a moment. It impacts 138 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: stores that have over three hundred employees nationwide nationwide. So 139 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: for instance, if you're working at Starbucks, you probably have 140 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: what twenty or thirty people, and a lot of them 141 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: part timers working at Starbucks, but Starbucks nationwide has more 142 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: than three hundred employees. The same thing, if you're working 143 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: at Ralphs, you might not have three hundred employees that 144 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: work at that grocery storey nation wid, you would which 145 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: that to me, that makes a lot of sense because 146 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: now you're talking about the small businesses, and I grew 147 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: up working small businesses, and my folks owned a small 148 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: business when I was much younger. And when you only 149 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: have half a dozen a dozen, maybe twenty or twenty 150 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: five employees, scheduling is a bit tricky, especially because you 151 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: have employees that come to you at the last minute 152 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: and they say, oh, my goodness, something just happened, so 153 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 1: you might have to change the schedule for somebody else, 154 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: and it happens. And those small businesses, oftentimes it's more 155 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: of a family atmosphere. But when you're talking about something 156 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: that's more than three hundred employees nationwide, now you're talking 157 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: about somebody that probably has scheduling software, they could be 158 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: looking ahead a little easier. My experience with my scheduling 159 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: is different every week. I don't know when I work 160 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: in the morning, when I work in the evenings, I've 161 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: been scheduled to close them to midnight and then come 162 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: back at six o'clock in the morning. I used to 163 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: have that happen to me when I worked in a 164 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: restaurant when I was in high school. I was a 165 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: breakfast line cook, but I was also working with the dishwashers. 166 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: I went in as a dishwasher when I was in 167 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: high school, and I slowly worked my way up to 168 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: breakfast line cook. I'm talking about when I was like 169 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen whatever. But then you know they they need 170 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: dishwashers on Friday night, but we only have two breakfast 171 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: line cooks and you need to be there on Saturday morning. 172 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: So that used to happen to us when I was 173 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: grown up. But again, we're talking about a small family 174 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: business as opposed to you know, Albertson's. Albertson's ought to 175 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: have enough employe used to be able to figure this 176 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: out ahead of time. The ordinance would require a fourteen 177 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: day advanced notice of work schedules fourteen days seems like 178 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: a lot. Seven seems more reasonable to me. Predictability pay 179 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: for a last minute schedule changes or canceled shifts. Oh, 180 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: predictability pay. I like that. The right to accept or 181 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: decline extra hours added on short notice, and mandatory rest 182 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: periods between shifts or additional pay. Some of this is 183 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: going to be inevitable in the work place, particularly in 184 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: the retail environment, but shouldn't we at least ask retail 185 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: employers to make that as easy as possible. The California 186 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: Retailers Association says this will be a challenge. Retailers and 187 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: other businesses continue to grapple with COVID related regulations, supply 188 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: chain challenges, and worker shortages. Even when the pandemic does 189 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: finally receive many of these challenges will remain for some time, 190 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: so this policy has the effect of heaping substantial new 191 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: compliance hurdles on top of what is still an extraordinary period. 192 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: Since the city council only had ten members at today's meeting, 193 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: there needs to be a second vote, and that will 194 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: happen within two weeks. Yeah, but if you're a business owner, 195 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: don't you want to be good to your employees. The 196 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,359 Speaker 1: stuff that I just heard didn't seem all that unreasonable. 197 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what the specifics of the this, you know, 198 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: whatever the pay compensation package was there, I don't know 199 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: what the civics are, but it seems to me that 200 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: if you're an employer and you are burdening your employees, 201 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: as an employer, I would only want to do that 202 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: to my employees if I had to, and if I 203 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: had to, I would want to make sure that they 204 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: were compensated appropriately. Sounds to me like the La City 205 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: Council is basically trying to legislate. Get your crap in 206 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: order right, get your ducks in a row, get yourself 207 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: a spreadsheet, figure this out, and if you're gonna be 208 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: a delta bravo of an employer, at least make sure 209 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: your employees know that they're that they're valued. Let them 210 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: know a little, a little end up, you know what 211 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: I mean. It is a tough time for some, but 212 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: there are some good news stories on the horizon. And 213 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: as much as the businesses are saying, oh, we're dealing 214 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: to too many restrictions while we're making a bunch of 215 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: money right now, well, when the recession hits that should 216 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: make everything easier, right, you won't need so much supply. 217 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: They'd probably argue that side too, wouldn't they. That's next 218 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: Chris meryll In for John and Ken k IF I 219 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: am six forty stimulating talk Live Everywhere and your heart 220 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: radio app MO Kelly doing a small Business Saturday show 221 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: tomorrow night at six pm.

KFI AM sixty 227 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: dot com slash small. We were talking about businesses and 228 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: how they're you know, they don't like regulations, and they 229 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: certainly don't like the city Council is going to mandate 230 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: that they have their schedules ready for their employees ahead 231 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 1: of time, else they face some sort of a consequence. 232 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: And I understand why businesses would stand up against They 233 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: don't want to do anything that makes stuff harder for them. No, 234 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: none of us do. None of us do. I get it. 235 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: It makes it makes perfect sense if somebody were to 236 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: come to you and say that you had to tell 237 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: your kids what their school lunch was gonna beat. Let's 238 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: say you send your kids to school and you make 239 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: their lunch, you had to tell them what they were 240 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: gonna have next Friday. You'd go, what, I'll figure it 241 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: out when I get there. And if the La City 242 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: Council came to you and said, no, you have to 243 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: tell your kids what they're going to have in their 244 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: lunchbox next Friday or else you're going to be penalized 245 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: for it, you go, that's blogny and they go, oh, okay, 246 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: so you do know you know what your kid's gonna have, 247 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: It's good blogny. So basically that's what the La City 248 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: Council is doing, is they're saying to business owners and 249 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: in many cases grocers, you need to have your employee 250 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: schedule posted fourteen days ahead of time so that they 251 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: can plan their lives. The easiest way to figure this 252 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: out is to get your employees on a regulated schedule 253 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: and only have a few on a swing schedule. Right, 254 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: That's the easiest way to do this. My son works 255 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: at a grocery store incidentally, and he's been going through 256 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: some of this is he's done training in different areas. 257 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: So his schedule was, like you know, I think he 258 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: was he was working some goofy shift, like a eleven 259 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: thirty to eight. Yeah, because there's a half hour lunch there. 260 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: So eleven thirty to eight or ten thirty to seven 261 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: that was his schedule. And he was doing that for 262 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. And then I just I was 263 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: talking to him today and it was after eleven and 264 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: I go, you're doing the eleven thirty. He goes, No, 265 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: I go in at one thirty. Now I'm working one 266 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: thirty to ten. And he goes, and I hate it. 267 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: Say he's a little frustrated his schedule is getting moved 268 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: around a little bit. Oh that's uh. And then my 269 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: watch is talking to me. Is I'm I talk with 270 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: my hands, and as I do my watch things, I'm 271 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: calling up things. So every now and again you'll hear 272 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: my watch talk through the radio. So my son is 273 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: in that in that boat where he doesn't really know 274 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: what his schedule is going to be, and it can 275 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: be it can be frustrating for my son. Not a 276 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: big deal, you know, it doesn't have a family used 277 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: to lose with his parents. You know, the only thing 278 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: he has to do is make sure the dogs get 279 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: their food when they're supposed to be fat, and that's it, right, 280 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: so he doesn't worry about anything else. But I can 281 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: imagine that if you're working in one of these retail 282 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: outlets or a grocery store, it is difficult if I've 283 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: got kids at home and you're trying to plan your 284 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: schedule and you're trying to make sure you can pick 285 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: those kids up. The businesses, however, are saying, well, this 286 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: is another burden that's being placed on us, and now 287 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: we're going to be penalized if we have to change 288 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: somebody's schedule. Most businesses, you would think, would want to 289 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: make sure that their employees are happy and healthy and 290 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: have a dependable schedule from a dependable employer. One of 291 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: the excuses though, that the employee the employers are using. 292 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: And again I don't blame the employers for opposing it, 293 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: opposing the city council move, but one of the things 294 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: they claim is that, look, we're still dealing with some 295 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: pandemic regulations, we still got supply chain issues. Employment is 296 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: still really tough. Well, listen, if the economy takes a crap. 297 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: Then chances are you'd be cutting employees anyway, So you're 298 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: probably ahead of the game. If we hit a recession, 299 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: you're not gonna have to worry about supply chain issues 300 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: anymore because people are going to be buying as much stuff. Look, 301 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: it's all gonna work itself out. But then they would say, well, 302 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: it's not really fair that we would have these additional 303 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: owners regulations on us or be penalized for not having 304 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: our employee schedules posted. Because if that were the case, 305 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: you know, and we're in a recession, our margins are low. 306 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: It's so hard for us. You know, there's always going 307 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: to be an excuse. It's always tough, but we might 308 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: be facing a recession. This is what we're all keeping 309 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: an eye on us. The inflation is so high. Many 310 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: of the stories today around Black Friday involve people's reaction 311 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: to shopping with inflation in front of us, and how 312 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: much more they're planning on spending this year, how much 313 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: less they want to spend this year. We're seeing a 314 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: number of the big tech companies that have cut workers. 315 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: Twitter cutting thirty seven hundred, Meta cut eleven thousand. Amazon 316 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: was cutting a bunch of workers as well. Loan Depot 317 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: is trimming jobs they've cut. They've cut two as low 318 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: as sixty five hundred workers nationwide. They had eleven thousand, 319 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: three hundred to start the year, so you know they've 320 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: cut what thirty five percent off their work force as well. 321 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: And with California being one of those states that is 322 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: so dependent on both the technology sector and also real estate, 323 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: if housing costs start shifting and we start seeing people 324 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: defaulting on loans like we did back in two thousand 325 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: and eight two thousand and nine, all of a sudden, 326 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: we're in a bad spot. So California gets hit with 327 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: a double whammy, being that tech is taking a hit 328 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: right now and we are the center of the tech world, 329 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: and because our home prices are so inflated, especially here 330 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: in southern California and then up in the Bay Area, 331 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: if all of a sudden real estate takes a dump, 332 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: we're in a bad spot in California, worse than other places. 333 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: We would also then be poised to recoup faster than 334 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: other places, just as we did after the Great Recession. 335 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: One of the other concerns, though, has to do with 336 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: the supply chain. A Wall Street Journal with an article 337 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: this week, saying officials are declaring an end to the 338 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: backup backup ships at Southern California's sports more than two 339 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: years after the vessels began lining up in weeks long queues. 340 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: That became one of the most visible signs in the 341 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: US of the pandemic driven turmoil and supply chains. Remember 342 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: when we had all the ships that were off the 343 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: coast and they were all just anchored, waiting and waiting 344 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: and waiting with a good news they're caught up now. 345 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: We thought that was gonna take forever. It did, but 346 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: forever only turned out to be two years, which is good. 347 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: Sounds like that aspect of the supply chain is caught 348 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: up now. It would be nice if we could start 349 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: seeing the prices start coming down and some of those 350 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: things that were so expensive because of that supply chain backup. 351 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: Hopefully that happened soon and offset some of the potential 352 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: for the recession that I just discussed a moment ago. 353 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: All Right, you are probably getting too about this time 354 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: of day, and if you're not driving around looking for 355 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: a parking spot one of the outlet malls, maybe you're 356 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: at home trying to figure out which of the leftovers 357 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: you're going to eat good, good for you. I'm still 358 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: full on the mashed potatoes that I had for breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack, 359 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: and then mid show gnashing. So I'm full of mashed potatoes. 360 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: I love mashed potatoes, can't get enough. I'm gonna tell 361 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: you what not to eat in just a moment. It's 362 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: a public service. Chris Maryland for John and Ken KF 363 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: I am six forty live everywhere on your iHeart Radio 364 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: app pleasure being with you. It has been a pleasure 365 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: being here the last couple of days, and I look 366 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: forward to the next time that we have an opportunity 367 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: to hang. The day after Thanksgiving is oftentimes spent shopping fine, 368 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: but for fatsos like me, it's spent rolling out of 369 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: bed and then rolling toward the fridge and then pulling 370 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: out the leftovers. And for me, the first thing I 371 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: always go to the starches. Man. I love the starches, 372 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: not yams, that's disgusting. It's the mashed potatoes and the 373 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: stuffing or dressing or whatever you want to call it. 374 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: I don't care. There is nothing better, and I don't 375 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: care if it's a day old. You throw butter and 376 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: gravy on top of that stuff. My goodness, my intestines 377 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: hate me so much. I don't even care. I love 378 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: him so much. But I thought, what is it that 379 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: people do with the leftover bird? If? If, like most people, 380 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 1: you've got a turkey around Thanksgiving, what do you do 381 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 1: with that leftover turkey meat? And Brian, do you have 382 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,959 Speaker 1: a preference when it comes to the turkey meat? You 383 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: what you go toward? Sandwiches? Sandwich? Thank you? Is the 384 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: only answer. The sandwich is the only answer. You are 385 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: not allowed to do anything else with that turkey other 386 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 1: than a sandwich. If you could, if I bend their 387 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: rules a little bit, you would be allowed to take 388 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: some turkey and put it on a plate and then 389 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: put mashed potatoes in gravy on top of that. I 390 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: would allow it. But for the most part, sandwich. That's it. 391 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: And you can do anything you want with the sandwich. 392 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: You want a turkey and bacon and let us in mayo. 393 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: Don't put tomato on there. That's vile. You want to 394 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: do that, fine, you want turkey and bread and cheese, fine, 395 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: do it. It's awesome. But sandwich is the right answer. 396 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: You shouldn't be doing anything else with that I've seen 397 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: a lot of recipes online today. A lot of different 398 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: places are putting out their typical stories, and Brian, you 399 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: know how this is where every year we get to 400 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: this time of year and we get the same stories. 401 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna here's the shopping, here's the expectations of shopping. 402 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: Here's your block Friday stories. And believe me, I did 403 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: enough of that today too, because we can all relate 404 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: to it. But if you if you're working in the 405 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: department of the New York Times, or if you're working 406 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: for CBS News and you're in the food beat, oh 407 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: my goodness, you love today.

The food people are like, 410 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: here's this wild recipe that I just dreamed up when 411 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: I was high and drunk and kidnapped in the trunk 412 00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 1: of a nineteen seventy to Pontiac. I don't know whatever 413 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: it is. I just feel like these people come up 414 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: with the most bizarre recipes. They're like, here's what you 415 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: can do with your turkey. If you want a delicious idea, 416 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: try poking marshmallows through your turkey and then brosting it 417 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: what I was putting marshmallows on day old turkey. He 418 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: goes in a sandwich. Period. If I worked for the 419 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: food column of the New York Times, here would be 420 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: my story, what's to do with those leftovers turkey? Make 421 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: it a sandwich? And not I'd handed into the editor. Done. 422 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: There you go, boss, I'm done with my story for today. 423 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: I've seen so many just goofy recipes. Don't do that, 424 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: don't do that at all. There are some things you 425 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: really should not eat, and these are not just my opinion. 426 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: You should not be eating oysters right now? Did you 427 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: know that oysters? Health officials are advising people not to 428 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: eat or serve some oysters that were distributed in thirteen states, 429 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: including California Food and Drug Administration advising consumers not to 430 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: eat at restaurants and other retailers not to sell die 431 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,959 Speaker 1: One Food company frozen half shell oysters that have a 432 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: harvest date of February sixth, twenty twenty two. Now, I 433 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: don't know how many of you check the harvest date 434 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: on your oysters, but perhaps you've got some of the 435 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: freezer and you can check on that. The South Korean 436 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: firm is recalled oyster products from the same harvest area. 437 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: FED officials are issuing the warning after a Southern Nevada 438 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: health district to reporting two clusters of illnesses from people 439 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: who ate raw oysters at a Las Vegas restaurant late 440 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: October and early November. The state officials have confirmed one 441 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: case of saple virus illness and nine potential illnesses. Now, 442 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: saple virus gives you all those things you would expect 443 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,719 Speaker 1: from any sort of a food born illness, nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset, 444 00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: stomach direa, also fever, body ache and headaches. Also more 445 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: common in kids under the age of five. I guess 446 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: it actually can be yeah, deadly there a restaurant customer 447 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: in Fort Lauderdale has died of a bacterial infection after 448 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: eating raw oysters. Wow, so I guess it could be 449 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: that bad. So really, don't eat that stick with the 450 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: leftover turkey and of course mashed potatoes and dressing one 451 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: thing you're probably not eating this year. And this is 452 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: gonna upset some people, I know. I was listening to 453 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: Neil Savadri yesterday was in for Bill Handle, and he 454 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: did an awful lot of talking about food, which you 455 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: would expect from the fork reporters. He was talking about 456 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: preparing the turkeys and people were calling with questions, and 457 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 1: he got a question from somebody out of San Diego. 458 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: It was more of a comment really, talking about meatless 459 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: thanksgivings and how she was enjoying the sunshine, sitting in 460 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: her living room with a breeze and cutting tofu, which 461 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: sounded nightmares to me. But you know, whatever floats are 462 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: both that's awesome, great, that's cool because she thinks it 463 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: probably sounds like a nightmare to have a turkey sandwich 464 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: the next day. So, you know, all except her she 465 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: accepts me. We'll win. But one thing that she didn't 466 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: mention was anything about beyond meat. When was the last 467 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: time we heard anything about beyond meat? You remember when 468 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: Beyond Meat came out and it was like in all 469 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: the fast food restaurants and everybody was getting the beyond 470 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: meat burgers. I tried one of the one of the 471 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: I think it was beyond meat. It was one of 472 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: the faux whoppers, you know, and they were like, oh, 473 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: you can't tell the difference. It tastes the same. And 474 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: I tried it and I was like, it does not. 475 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: It does not taste the same. It wasn't bad, but 476 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: you weren't going to convince me that it tasted the 477 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: same as a whopper. It did not. It was different, 478 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 1: wasn't better, It wasn't worse. It was different. Well, Beyond 479 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: Meat evidently is having some trouble, both The New York 480 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 1: Times in the Wall Street Journal explaining why the company, 481 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: which had a wildly successful IPO in twenty nineteen, is 482 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: struggling this year. The stock is down eighty three percent, 483 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: and like so many of those tech companies, Beyond Meat 484 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: is also beginning layoffs. Bloomberg came out with a story 485 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: on Monday based on the internal documents and photos suggesting 486 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: the presence of apparent mold, the steri, and other food 487 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: safety issues at a Pennsylvania plant. The company adamantly denies 488 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: any safety problems, and that comes after a company Exact 489 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: made police bladder headlines for allegedly biting someone's nose. So 490 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: a lot of bad stories coming out about Beyond Meat, 491 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: and then their stock is dropping. Why sales are falling 492 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: not bad, but they're down eight percent in the twelve 493 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: weeks ending October eighth. Beyond Meat sales are falling even 494 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: faster by twelve percent. An impossible Burger saw their sales 495 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: go up forty nine percent. Maybe it was impossible burger 496 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: that Burger King had, that had the whopper, whatever it was, 497 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: it was one of those meat substitutes, and it did 498 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: not taste the same. You can't tell me that it does, 499 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: So why are things dropping off? It's thank you, that's 500 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: the skuy, that's vile. I think nails on a chalkboard. 501 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: The thought is this, First of all, you've got market saturation. 502 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: At some point you've reached all of your customers, so 503 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: people that want to buy a meat substitute are buying 504 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: a meat substitute. So immediately your sales are going to 505 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: at least your growth is going to slow down, right, 506 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: And that's that's a normal adoption curve for any new product, 507 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 1: where those that want the product have the product, those 508 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: that don't want the product don't have the product, and 509 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: then you're trying to convert some people over normal for 510 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: any new product launch. The other side, though, is that 511 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: it's expensive. And while some people say I want that 512 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: plant based alternative because it's better for my health, or 513 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: they believe it to be better for the environmentally. Isn't 514 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: better for the environment, but it's better. It may be 515 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: better for your health, and if you're trying to stay 516 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: away from meat, then great that this might be a 517 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: suitable alternative. It's more expensive, and we're seeing high inflation, 518 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: and we've got people who are trying to get ready 519 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 1: for the holidays, and they just say, well, I've got 520 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: the family coming over. Maybe I'm not going to use 521 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: meat substitutes. Maybe I'll just save money, serve actual meat 522 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: like I've been doing, and then i will take the 523 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: money that I saved and I'll put that in my 524 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: holiday fund. A little bit of an issue, a little 525 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: bit of an issue that they have going on. One 526 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: more thing you shouldn't eat. I'm not gonna say you 527 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: shouldn't eat it, but it's gonna be a while before 528 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: you can. It's gonna be longer than you've ever imagined. 529 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: I want you to think about the longest you ever 530 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: waited for your food at a restaurant and multiply that 531 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: by about thousand.

All right, 553 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: and now for the rest of the stories. I was 554 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: talking about a delicacy. You may want this, but imagine 555 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: the longest you've ever been to a restaurant and had 556 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: to wait for your food to come out. You've probably 557 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: done it like I have, and it's annoying when it 558 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: takes forty five minutes, maybe an hour, for your food 559 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: to come out. I had worked at a restaurant now 560 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: our busy summer nights. It was a steakhouse. The busy 561 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: summer nights, we would have a big party come in 562 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: and then people behind that party would be waiting for 563 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: an hour. And believe me, we were busting our tails 564 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: in the in the kitchen trying to get it all done. 565 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: But sometimes it just took that long. Imagine waiting more 566 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: than that hour, more than a day, Imagine waiting more 567 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: than a week. I don't have to stay in your booth, 568 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: but the Mirror says that the most famous croquettes in 569 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 1: the world have a thirty plus year waiting list. For 570 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: the extreme Kobe beef croquettes from Japan's Asahiah family run 571 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: butcher shop and Yogo prefecture. I'm sure I mispronounced all 572 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: those words because one I don't speak Japanese, two I 573 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: barely speak English. CNN reporting that Asahiah has been in 574 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: business for nearly a century, and after World War Two, 575 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: the deep fried potato and beef delicacy popped up on 576 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: the butcher's menu, and now it is a thirty year wait. 577 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: Didn't take off until two thousand, but then people who 578 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: started to catch on to it. They were selling these 579 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: little delicacies for a dollar eighty, even though the beef 580 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: alone to make one cost two seventy at the time. 581 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: But they wanted them to pick up and they did. Now, 582 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: let me see, in twenty sixteen, the waiting list had 583 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: become more than fourteen years long. The public clamored for 584 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: their return, so they agreed to bring them back. Evidently 585 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: they stopped making them for a while. The new price 586 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: three dollars and seventy cents per a little bite, so 587 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: basically it's a little more than a mozzarella stick. And 588 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: the waiting list, though is thirty years plus. So that's 589 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: happening right now. Probably I'm gonna guess not worth it 590 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: sounds delih I'd love to try it. Not worth it, 591 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: all right, you're on your way to vacation. Maybe you 592 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: were going over the river and through the woods. Maybe 593 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: it's just easier to go over the river and over 594 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: the woods in an airplane. If you do so, you're 595 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna have to go through TSA. One thing that we 596 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: don't like is when TSA says we've got a problem 597 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: with your bag. If you haven't experienced it, good for you. 598 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: If you have experienced it, hopefully It's like my experience 599 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: is where they say we want to take a look, 600 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: and you go, I don't care, open it up and 601 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: they do, hopefully nothing embarrassing in there. I love watching 602 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: those TikTok videos of people where the TSA opens it 603 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: up and it's something embarrassing. Love that. But suppose they 604 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,239 Speaker 1: scan your bag and they find something in there you 605 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: didn't put in there, you might be thinking, my good 606 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: if somebody took my bag. It's like all those warnings 607 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: make sure you keep an eye in your bag at 608 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: all times. You should keep an eye in your bag 609 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: at all times. Check your bag before you go through 610 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: TSA to make sure that something didn't get slipped into 611 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: your bag like it did at JFK Airport. In New York. 612 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: You've got to get to the cat news. Yes, and 613 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: normally the cats referred to is out of the bag, 614 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: but that wasn't the case. For there's feline spotted by 615 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: the TSA. That orange fur that you see, there is 616 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: a cat. Somehow the animal made it all the way 617 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: through an X ray unit at JFK International Airport. The 618 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: traveler told the TSA that the cat belongs to someone 619 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: else in the household. According to the agency, the cat 620 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: is now actually out of the bag. You'll be really 621 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: shure to know and safely back home. And my cat 622 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: did this before I went. I don't care CNN International. 623 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: They're not good at chit chat. They're bad. The cat, 624 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: come to find out, was the roommates cat and evidently 625 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: climbed in the bag. I don't know how they got 626 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: away with it. I don't know if it maybe a 627 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: hard no. In fact, I think I saw the photo. 628 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: I don't think it was a hard side a hard 629 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: shield case. So how did they not? How did the 630 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: cat not move around? But it did show up in 631 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: the X ray. It actually it looked like almost the 632 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: X ray itself just showed what looked like a like 633 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: a stuffed cat in there, or like a porcelain cat 634 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: kind of showed up that way on the X ray, 635 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: but no, it was an actual cat. They missed their flight. 636 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,720 Speaker 1: They had to go take the cat home to the roommate, 637 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: and then they missed their flight. More of the rest 638 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: of the stories. You ever go out in the wilderness 639 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: and you are disgusted to find that others just don't 640 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: care to take care of the great outdoors as much 641 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: as you would like them too. They're supposed to take 642 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: only pictures, leave only footprints, right. The Yosemite Climbing Association 643 00:34:54,640 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: does an annual Facelift trash cleanup event and thousands ofvolunteers 644 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: go to Yosemite. It's a five day event every fall, 645 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: and they pick up almost fifteen thousand pounds of trash 646 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: in that five days. It's crazy. Uh, let me see, 647 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: what would you think? They were finding? Cigarette butts was 648 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: actually the most the biggest thing that they found at Yosemite, 649 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 1: which blows my mind.

I'm sure 657 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,439 Speaker 1: this blanket, sweatshirt, shoes, socks, things like that. I left behind, 658 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: food rappers, face masks, which makes sense now, doesn't it. 659 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: But the odd stuff that they found, a drone, a toaster, 660 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 1: used condoms.
