Why don't you say so? To keep me fun? Christ say so, sir? All right, everybody, welcome to the new year. Here listening to Life Liberty Happiness. We are live in the David Honeker State Farm Studios listening to a Little Doze you Cat live in the studio with Trent Warner and the Doze you Cat himself, Woody Watts. I'm here. Do you know a little doz you Cat there? I can't say that I knew who she was, Okay, hey, I like it introduced the new music, that's right, twenty twenty four. Knew me she like the rival to Nicki Minaj. I think so that would be an accurate depiction. I wouldn't know if she walked in here. I would know Nikki, you said you would. I would know Nikki if she walked in here, but I wouldn't know Doja dojo. Let me see what she looks like, not just doj doja cat. I won't know what that means. He's the one that talks all funny doja cat like. It's got all these weird yips and sayings and stuffy Cardi B. Yeah, that's who I'm probably thinking about. So you wouldn't know Nicki Minaj if she walked in, you would know Cardi B. No, I would know Nikki. Okay, I don't know. I guess I don't know Cardi or I need to look her up. She gotta get I gotta get up on your algorithms are gonna I just stopped it, Nikki, there was no reason to go beyond that anyway. Welcome to life, liberty, happiness, and thank you to our show sponsors. Like I said earlier, David Honaker State Farm Studios. David is a long time sponsor. He's been with us from day one, day one, which we're on year four, is that right? For over three now? Yeah, we're in in year four. Yeah? Is that? I mean, is that accurate? Or I mean we started looking right now in twenty twenty. We have one hundred and sixty three episodes. Yeah, so, and we'll be doing it once a week for so how many? Yeah, we're year three going on for year three, going for Okay, remarkable. It's absolutely remarkable. Yeah, that's consistent, that's well done. Not a lot of people can do that, speaking to us in the Flintstemes. Yes, when you think about it, everybody loves Raymond was only nine seasons. We're not that far off. Once a week were they once weet? Yeah? They were once week? Semps one a week, Yeah, we might be the next sims. Thank you to seeing us business services as well. Charlene does a wonderful job. I bet you she'd be a busy this time of year, slammed U said. When I email within two seconds, she emails me back. Now it's five seconds. But she's mhmm, twice as busy as your math would do. Like what would her rate of return be? Calculate that? I love what the joke behind this is Trent and his brother went and fixed a natural spring and I got calculation sheets the next day. Man, man, many talents over here. I'm always blown away. We had a spring house was lencoling, so we had to fix it. You need to know the capacity of the tank. You needed to know how fast it could fill up, how much water was coming in, Like if you had just said to me, it'll take about eight hours to fill that tank up. Then I'd go okay, now I get literally point zero zero one four gallons per minute. It take twenty two hours. I like your math O'Brien, like you were talking about your satellite internet. Yeah, I just ordered and see it when he gets here. I mean, what testing when he comes in. That's why I got it in the back of the truck for you to get a hold of. Are you going to be in town tomorrow, yeah, I'll be right. Well, let's test it. Ride down the road. You got starlink is coming, it's here, yeah, supporting in the back of my truck. Huh. I want to see how we can do with live sports. I mean, this is an investment. It's the future, Trent, it's the future. But if you use the starlink, then Ashley can't use cable at home. Well, I mean right now, I'm testing it, so she does. She's got to listen to the games. She can use her phone, all right, move it on this day in history. I found this interesting that when I looked it up, this popped up. By the way, before we start this day in history, I told you yesterday I'm watching the Pat McAfee show and he says, we're going to start off the twenty twenty four with a new segment, and I forget the Guy's day, and he goes, yeah, yeah, we're going to do this day in History, And I went, what gosh, So I'm bound and determined that just what parts hasn't like, there's only one segment that nobody has stolen yet, right, and let's have at it. They used my material, they just don't call it because it's true, Brad trying to pipe in here, New Year, New Year, New Brad. This segment of the show is sponsored by Northeast, so it's hard to stop a train anyway. This day in history, Nancy Pelosi, believe it or not, was sworn in as the first woman to be elected into the Speaker of the House. What you was a two thousand and five huh? I believe it was. Man, Things gone downhill. We've gotten more in debt and she's gotten richer. Well, you know what's funny about that is I thought about that the other day. You know how the narrative is always of how nasty Donald Trump was and how mean and rude and this that and the other. Dude, there are so many examples of Democrats just being disgusting, Like, could you imagine if a Republican ripped up the State of the Union alive on TV, what the other side would have done. They would have probably kicked that person out of the speakership. Our side would have censored right right exactly. It would have been horrible. But she did that, and then the whole current Chuck Schumer who literally thought they got over on Trump in that meeting in the Oval Office. What they still don't understand, they still don't understand is you and I look at that and go Donald Trump won that argument. He doesn't care who gets the blame. He just wants it fixed. I gets just politics have been just destroyed by evil people like and we should be calling people like Nancy Belows the evil I saw on the way down here, heard I should say on the way down here that today is speaking of this day in history. We topped the thirty four trillion dollar mark in debt. We went over it, and they said in record time, because we were scheduled to do that in twenty twenty nine. We've gone that fast. They blamed it on COVID and it's literally the only thing Joe Biden does fast. Spend debt. That's that's it. I got a great more money that they've spent that you can't wait to hear about it and underreported stories by Christy Clark. Perfect Moving on trauma. All right, So over the holidays, spent a week at the beach with the fam. How's the weather? The weather was perfect, Like, you couldn't ask for a better beach trip. The weather was in the mid fifties, sunny, a little win actually, probably the least amount of wind I've ever had at the beach. We had one rainy day, which was perfect. I mean, having one rainy day is fine because we were doing escape room stuff on that day anyway, so you were indoors, so it was it worked out absolutely perfect. And we had a theater room there in the house, so like I would have had to escape the escape room trip, I do not see the appeal in those. But well, I have the question I always ask people, is have you done one? And well didn't this shut up? Well, I mean I know I don't like liver. I gotta try it, Oh my god. So anyway, No, we had a we had a wonderful Does Rake get to swim to y'all have like a heated pool or anything. Oh, there wasn't a pool there, but we didn't. We didn't do the pool thing. But there is a hot tub, so she oh, okay, she did that. We did tons of stuff there was. I took the kids to the aquarium, which was neat although, man, I have become a terrible public person. Hey is the queriment Jeanette's pier? Is that where it is? No, okay, it's over at Rono Colin. I got, but it's I just I'm not a walk into the aquarium and there's a loud and you know what I'm talking about, Trent. There's the mother that's the loud mouth. But you can hear her voice above everything. Yes, escape also has two kids, little snot nosed kids, chubby both of them. And of course Logan's tapping me going, was that you brown when you were a kid? Oh my god. So anyway, the little chubby kids of it, mac mine pufferfish, pufferfish pop, and it just god. So I'm like, hey, let's go to a different section. Yeah, And I just I just kept going, trying to get away, and it's like I want to enjoy the time and with especially because it was just me and the kids. It was Ashley didn't go. Nobody else went. It was just us, and so it was it was a lot of fun. But then you got you add other people in it, It's like, ugh, how's Lugan getting around? Oh man, you wouldn't even know he's rib surgery. Yeah, oh good, Yeah, I mean he's still he's still kind of limpy, you know. Uh. And occasionally you'll see him want to want to do something like a stepdad, you know, and realize, oh, I'm not supposed to do that, you know, like just so you you kind of realize that each family had a meal, you know, So it was that was fun of doing that part of it. And then we each family kind of chose a game to play. So Ashley, being the thrifter she is, found this game called Mary Dismuss. Okay, I have not heard of this, and I will tell you my mother is ruthless. So you basically, you one person asked a question and everybody has a white marker board with the erase, you know, the dry erase whatever, and so you answer the question ever how you want to. But you know, like whoever has the funniest answer wins and you're you're basically dissing someone. So the question was what family member would you eat first if the apocalypse zombie apocalypse was going to happen in a month right in your start, So my mom writes Brian, we could all have a meal. It was like, whoa where are we going with that? Oh? She was? She was horrendous, and Reagan was even worse like but and Reagan ended up winning. So I'll give you a quick story my niece. One of hers was about getting bit by a raccoon. She got attacked by a raccoon one time, and so we're all listening to this story. Rachel, Yes, well that was that night whatever had that conversation about this raccoon. I what are you laughing at? I don't know, man, just the stories people get attacked by raccoon. Okay, well when I tell you this, none of you are going to believe this, except for I have photo evidence. Four o'clock in the morning, I wake up and I decide hot tub time. I like to get in the hot tub by myself and relax and literally just like it's my peace time to get away from everything. At four oh yes, that is my time to just relax. So I go out to the hot tub at four am. It's cold because it's nighttime at the beach and it's four am and it's four am December. I flip open the top, I climb in, and I'm like, oh, this is so nice. And I hear this noise. I look above my head because the deck protrudes out over top of the hot tub. They're climbing the pole and Wedgie himself between the rafters. No is it raccoon? No? And he is standing on a rafter staring down at me. Oh my god. And when I say he is dangling, he literally is hanging on by a claw. Dude, I'm not sure you've ever seen a fat made get out of a hot move quicker than not. I get out of the hot tub and then I look up because all I could think of is if he dropsy. This tub is screwed because we both would have tore that thing they held get out. Could you imagine if it had fell in? I jump out, and then I proceed to stare at him and he is staring at me. So now we have a staring contest where I still want to get in the hot tub, but he won't leave. So he starts to climb down the post. There is vinyl railing at the next you know segment that he's getting onto. By the time he's climbing down the post, I'm like, all right, he's gonna climb down and go away now, So I'm climbing back into the tub. When he gets to the railing, the dude decides that he's going to balance himself on a vinyl railing and walk across the vinyl railing, which again is above my head. He's looking at me as he's walking across, and I'm literally telling the raccoon to pay attention to where you're going because he's looking at me, and he is constantly slipping, and I saw he finally makes it to the other side and then off the porch he goes. This went on for a half He watched the raccoon walk. Yes, it's like a person. Oh yes, like on his back legs. Yeah, he's all on forded krap on the but it's vinyl, dude. But this went on for thirty minutes, And of course I had to get a picture because I'm like, when I try to tell this story in the morning, there's no one that's gonna believe because my niece just told a raccoon story. You went up to your niece's raccoon story the next morning, can't you see it? Buddy? Oh my god, Oh good, that's funny. That would have just told me to go back inside and go to bed in the morning. All I can think about is my niece got bit by one of these damn things. So anyway, that was my Christmas highlights. We'll have some more Christmas highlights coming up when Carolina Kevin comes on. Yeah, I can't wait to hear this. Uh. One of the things I did want to mention is it's amazing to me and I know you have it too, the different personalities within a family. Yeah, it just fascinates me how different everybody is, you know. Yeah, but what we find is consistently Yeah, like you're going to expect the same thing from each person each year. Well, we don't. What I do love about our family now we don't give gifts anymore. Well, I'm not talking about gifts. I'm just talking about the way somebody's what somebody says, they act, They're going to be the same, they're that person every year, that's right. Yeah, Yeah, I just some of the traits like food. I ain't touching the damn sweet potato, all right, and the rest of my family it's like they want to bathe in it. I hate a sweet potato. I mean, anybody try to put marshmallows honor to make it taste better worse? Thanks Wully, It's disgusting. Yeah, all right. So the last thing we did was my sister left on Friday, so my my wife and I and I, Logan and his girlfriend. We went down to the theater room because Ashley wanted to watch the movie Sound of Freedom. I do not recommend it. I don't remember. Is that the one with the kids? Yes? Oh man, you can't disturbing, right, very Dis's what my neighbor. That's what our friends said. It's they're glad they watch it, but it is hard to watch. Yeah. I Google ruins it for me because like we're watching and Logan is getting angry, like angry, and it's it's the exact response you would give. I'm telling you, you would be so mad. And that's what Logan's like this, I can't watch this because it just it angers me. It's just ridiculous. And I'm like yeah, and Logan is like, there's nothing you can do, and I said, no, there is Look at this guy, he's doing something. He's making a difference, right, telling the story and hunh the guy telling the story. The movie is about this guy, right. So I'm I'm literally saying, hey, there is a way to make a difference. And then I google the guy and then I'm just done with the whole thing. How the Left ruins everybody. I just get it. They've ruined that guy's life. And what do you think they've ruined it with? What do you think he's done? No idea, he's being it's been alleged that he has sexually harassed somebody. Oh god, when do you think those allegations happened? After the show? No, after the movie. So here's like when he started, he was an FBI agent and then he decides, you know what, I'm going to do this as a nonprofit because the FBI wouldn't do anything about it. So he starts on his own trying to save these children. He was appointed by Donald Trump to head the Sex Trafficking Task Force. Now all of a sudden, he's a sexual harassment guy, of course, And this is I'm just they destroy everything, and all I can think about is how could you be upset with someone saving kids lives? Like? Where does the left get this shit from? I know, that's it astounds me. And I've said this so many times lately. The country we live in now, I'm just astounded. I mean, in five years, it just is completely changed, completely different. Yeah. And the one thing that bothered me what he is. When you google it, Wikipedia will say he has baseless claims of how many kids he's rescued. Now here's what. They don't tell you that he has has rescued that's verified. Yeah, they're just saying he has baseless claims of how many. But then when they do the sexual allegations, do you think they call those baseless? There's been no proof yet. They don't say, hey, they're baseless allegations against him right now, but they say his claims are baseless for how many kids he saved? Like I just I'm so done with the whole liberalism b Yes, because that's what it is. Watch the movie just so you can understand just how bad it is and it'll open your eyes to the Holy cow, this is nuts that it's going on. Yeah, I need to see it all right? What you got? Oh? Man, I loved the break being a home as much as we were. You get to see some things. And Perry and Sarah told me Parry's my son. His girlfriend Sarah that they watched a movie the night before with her parents. That her mom's reaction was she was so disturbed by it she couldn't watch it. And her dad and Perry laughed so hard at it. It's like the biggest extremes in the reaction. And it's this movie called Whiplash. And I had just seen the trailer for it. You know how Netflix does such a good job with trailers. Yes, you know, you get to see some of the trailer and you can get hooked. And I told myself and I told them this, and Perry said this. That was my exact reaction too, that why do it sounds good? But it's it's a jazz drummer. It's a kid who wants to be a jazz drummer, all right, yeah, and he's doing that thing. And I thought, okay, I could be hooked by that, but jazz, I don't know if I'm really into that. Dude. It is Bobby Knight. It is coaching like you would not believe. And the effort of a kid that wants to be great and does everything he can in his power to make his coach happy. Dude, it could have been it could have been about Tiddley Winks, it could have been about anything, and dude, I was hooked. I just couldn't. I loved that movie. I wanted to go on for another hour. I couldn't believe it was over. When it was, I was like, tag on it, Whiplash. Whiplash really really good, I recommend. And I finally got hooked by Game of Thrones. Honestly, man, I gave it because of you, because of Catherine and Brian that told me that it's really really good. Gave it more than just the three episodes. I gave it more than the six episodes. Yeah, I tell you what happens. There's so many parts to it. I couldn't keep up. I was like, I don't know whose dad is, who, whose son is, whose cousin? You know, I know the midget man, I kind of like that guy. And but man, last night, Yeah, I ended season one at midnight, and I wanted to watch another episode. Yes, the Little Dragons have come. Oh it's so good. It's the first time I've seen the Dragons eight seasons. Dude, I cannot wait to go home tonight. I want to watch it an episode tonight. It's one of those series once it starts clicking in your brain like oh this is this is who they're connected to. Yeah, and then it's like don't stop. Yeah, it's like keep going on. Well, I'm in so watch you with kids in the room. No, no, don't do that. I've hit pause a couple of times when they come down the steps to do that. Here listening the life liberty happens. That's drama now on just Wort. It's time, all right. College football was major over the holidays. We had the college football playoffs. Yes, my two picks made the finals. Okay, I think we can agree the committee got it wrong and you don't think so. But I mean, that's like the dumbest thing of all the dumb things you say. That could be the dumbest. Well, I'm not sure how you get that, Like, in all honesty, if you want, literally, you just said the two teams that made the final, yeah, they were my picks, and the committee got it wrong. When both teams that they beat literally was the last play of the game. From also making it in. Okay, they literally picked the four right teams. Okay, so that was the best two games you could possibly have. Okay. Your thinking is like the College Football Committee. You're looking for the best matchups. You're not looking for the best four teams. Anybody who watched college football knows Georgia is probably top two in the country. Right, But I'm not even close. It's not even an argument. Okay. If you're telling me george is the fifth best team in the country, that's your argument. Ran every week stands on itself and makes the season. The time that you lose has an impact. They just lost to Alabama. But you can't when Alabama just you can't. Okay, you can. If you're a god, you can. I'm saying Alabama just beat them. You're not gonna then put Georgia in and leave Alabama out. Okay, that don't do that. But there's no way you're convincing me Texas is better than Georgia. When the vote happens at the end of the year, Georgia will be third, Washington or Michigan will be second, and the other team will be first. Alabama and Texas dropped to fourth and fifth. That's just the way it's gonna work out. Okay. Like I said, if you're looking for the four best teams in the playoffs, they missed the boat. Oh, I mean you're saying you're pacing it off of that came down to the last play. I mean Alabama Auburn came down to the last play. We're not arguing that Auburn's top ten in the country, are we Listen the way you argue every week of the season has a story and it all gets put together. Alabama belonged in there because they just beat Georgia. Texas belonged in there because they had beaten Alabama and had a great season. Two. I don't know what other team you want, but Florida State in there. I think I told you there's watching Georgia play. There's not There's not an argument to be made that they weren't top four teams. So you're you're you're basically telling me that every year, whoever the loser of the SEC championship game is doesn't belong in the playoffs. No, there's been years where both of them make it in. Okay, I just both games were great. So if if you're the committee and you're just looking for matchups. You got what you wanted. If you're looking for the top four best teams, you didn't have. You left Georgia at home. And I think I think Kirby Smart said it, by the way, and I mean nobody argues with his intellect. I mean, the team that's left out, you're gonna listen to that coach, sure, especially when he's two time defending national champion. I don't call him an idiot. I didn't call him an idiot either. I'm just saying, what are you making up? He didn't lose to Texas. You're just you're basing it. He lost the last game of the year. That's your it matters. Okay, Well, I'm telling you I think I think the best teams should have made it, you know, I mean even Georgia. I mean it's not like they were stomping everybody either. They had some rough patches in the way they they I think they dropped down the third part of the season too. It's not like they had the dominating year all year long. We know Ohio State was number one most of the year and they didn't make the Playofso I don't think anybody's griping about that no, because they lost in the bowl game, right and they did not look like a top five team. Yeah, I think I think the better story the great question Man College game Day was so good this weekend wonderful. The better story I loved was the discussion between Kirk Curves Street and McAfee about whether they should play any of the bowl games anymore. And Kirk cerb Street said, yeah, I don't, don't. You said, unless they can fix something, I don't think they should play any and McAfee says, I completely disagree with you, And it was really cool they could have that conversation. And then Joey Galloway, I think he's the one that had the best to comment for all of them. He said that you take that Florida State loss where they lose sixty three to three or something like that, it was a blowout, he said, but you ask everyone that got to play for Florida State, I guarant damn tee you they love that they played that game. Sure that they got to play because all year they've been back up to somebody that they think that they're better than, and they got to play the game. Here's what I found interesting and I can't remember now who came up with the idea. I love the idea. I thought it was phenomenal. It was Look, let's look at college basketball. We all nobody's arguing that we need to cut it back to thirty two teams, right, nobody's arguing that for college basketball. For the turn to argue that, But go ahead. You don't think the first round games are phenomenal? Yeah, I don't like Virginia losing to a sixteen Oh my god. Anyway, so he was like, listen, I don't care if you make it thirty two teams, whatever you want for the playoffs. What I think you should do is you got to stop with the bowl games of six and six teams playing just because we want a reward of six and sixteen for being good enough of beating six bad teams. Right, I can't tell you how many ball games I saw were empty. I'll give Tech credit as much as I don't want to say this. That Military Bowl when they were six and six, they packed that damn place. Yeah, that was in the rank. So what do you think of this? This is what he said, take the losing team. So if you're going to have the playoffs, take the losing teams in the playoffs in the first round and put them in a bowl game against the teams that weren't good enough to make the playoffs, and let's have bowls. I like that. I don't know how it's gonna work out, because I mean, in the end, it's like Kirk garth Street said when he was trying to make his argument, I mean, those other things are just irrelevant. They already are. I mean, how empty almost every single one of those ball games were. I mean even Liberty's game, Oh yeah it was. And it's almost like they purposefully don't show the stands. You know, it sounded loud. That's why I texted you the crowd. Yeah, because when Liberty scored, my god, it was loud as heck, and I thought one they packed the stadium and then they showed a picture later on it's like it, yeah, somost like they take angles so you can't see how empty it is. Yeah. I mean I was fortunate to go watch Tech when they played in the Orange Bowl against Stanford, and you could have we sat in our seats, which was on the second Bowl. We'll forget what it's called, but there was nobody within thirty feet of us. Yeah, so we moved down to the first Bowl because there was nobody out there, and that's an Orange Bowl. Yeah, so I could I get your point. You're right, I think. I think my favorite thing that I heard this weekend actually was since it was a tweet by Kirkirk Street, which I love KIRKERB. Street. I mean that whole group. I loved the whole College Game Day group. All of them have great opinions and thoughts. But he said something I think was great. Man, when you're watching the Rose Bowl, it has an atmosphere and a look to it like no other arena, and he said that we should make that our national championship game. I agree with that the Rose Bowl should be a national championship game on January one. I mean, whatever they got to do to do something like that, I mean, god, I agree. That was awesome. Listen while we're on this kick, we'll move it up. Pat McAfee, I discussed this with Woody early on in the week. If you had told me that a person could literally change the network, I would think you're crazy. And I'm not trying to over exaggerate it. Pat McAfee makes ESPN watchable now. They were good on college game day. But it's not just college game day. Like there are people now that see McAfee on college game day and now go watch his show because of how phenomenal he is. It's the people that he connects with. That clip, if we're gonna play it was that is classic Pat McAfee that most people probably didn't understand. But you and I enjoy this because the professionalism of Rhys Davis, the look on his face, and then to watch rob Or Galloway and then the other Desmond Howard, the look on their faces. If that was not Ernie Shack and Chuck Show all rolled under one, it was great. So we'll play this clip. Pay attention to the whole clip, it's a little long, and then we'll discuss it afterwards. Copy Milroe often wears his own branded apparel reading LANK across the front. It's an acronym that stands for let a nasayer know. Being told by his former offensive course nay, I thought, is that not what you thought? Boy? Let nay say? Or no? They say no? Of course, that's all right? Almost here with that, I thought it was going down for those people who don't know h lank is the acronym and it naysayer is not typically what is used in that. It's the in word let a in word. Know, right, when you watch the clip and then you go back and watch it again, I now feel what gallant he was talking about. Right, he thought it was coming out of Reese's mouth because he said let a nay sayer. That was like, oh is that what that dude? And nobody else, nobody ever brings that up right, nobody would have said a word. Well. I thought it was really cool. I was watching it live when all that happened, and there was a There was another part in the earlier in the episode where a B fifty two or the stealth bomber went overhead and they're like in the middle of it and Pat McAfee starts yelling like, oh my god, look at that plane. And it's like totally interrupted everything they were doing. You were so used to the script they do and Reese is so professional when to him, he was just reading it. Even if you look at his facial reactions, he thought, oh did I say something like wrong? Am I? He turned red? And Kirk kirk Street actually got a little bit yes because he's the profession was getting interrupted by this, you know, immature, juvenile and it's like Kirk is like trying to but then he couldn't stop it once it started. And it's almost like Joey and Esmond. Their reaction allowed it to be fun allowed it to be funny. Yeah, that was great. And that's what I think about what I Here's what I think makes Pat different than everybody else. Here's the thing. It is the professionalism, like you were saying with Rhys Davis, but Pat McAfee he has the respect that the others can't get. And I say that because the dude has Nick Saban on his show weekly? Who else has Nick Saban on their show weekly? Nick ain't doing that with somebody who he doesn't think is professional. You follow what I'm saying. The dude has the clout to get that, which is a big get by the way, And I thought about Somebody said something to me, did Nick Saban ever coach him? And I said no, But then it dawned on me. They're West Virginia boys. That's got to be the connection. And dude, I heard him the other day talk about Rich Rodriguez and I died laughing. So I think and I need to go back and look at this, but I'm pretty sure Rich would have been his coach at West Virginia and just I don't know. Pat's on a whole other level. And what's so sad is these other networks are going to try to duplicate it and you can't. There that's authentic. Yeah, like you you mentioned it, Woody, what he did for his the guys on the show. Did you see that story? All right? So Pat bet on himself. He left football with a three million dollar contract in hand. He left that, laid that to the Colts, and went home to do his own deal, which was Woody chop right. He was just going to do sports, and he chose his friends like you. And then when ESPN came on with there, I got, y'all. We discussed this, which is going to lead me into something else here in a second, but can't wait it. Basically, when he got the big deal with ESPN in a lot of people were pissed. They're like, oh God, well there's Pat McAfee. Pat wasn't going to change. And that's what I love about it is he hasn't. The dude goes to the bank when he signs that deal with HISPN. He takes fifty thousand dollars cash for each one of those guys and then delivers it to them house, to their houses at midnight, rings the doorbell and videos giving them cash. And it's just like, dude, we've made it. Like he was more excited like you and your brother. The looks on your faces was enough for me. When you're like the truck right like, it's like y'all are excited as I am, and it's you can see the genuine love on McAfee's face of dude, we've made it well, we've gambled on ourselves and we made it. To be honest. I've tried to watch the show. It's how long is that thing? Oh? God, I think it's like three or four hour? Yeah. I have not been entertained like I hope I was would be. I've like segments and stuff, but man, just sit there that long and watch something anymore. Though, Dude, there's so many little stories the when he has Chuck Pecano on, like, I just it's a whole nother level of coaching because Chuck is unfiltered too. Was that his coach and the Colts? Yes, okay? And it's just the Italian side of it and him talking the Italian language, and then AJ Hawk just he talked about them flying back after the National Championship game and AJ Hawk playing cards and McAfee's saying he is the worst card player in the world and the best at the same time, and he's talking about him cheating, and it's and then Aaron Rodgers pumps in of oh my god, that guy is the worst, and then there AJ's like watch your mouth and watching them go at it over card game is it was just it was how did HB. Hawk and Pat McAfee get together? I'll see them together. I don't know how their friendship start. That's a great question because A J. Hawk when he was a green Bay pick, green Bay pick, and then he was a Ohio State guy. Right, Yes, that's her, So what's what's the connection with him? It's a great question. I don't have to find that. Pat went to West Virginia, that's right, and then he played for the Colts, Okay, So I was wondering how they got together. Yeah, I don't the same thing with Butler. I think Butler did play with the Colts though the black he's the one black out on the show and they say, yes, that's a good one, all right, NFL quickly, uh San Francisco and the Ravens of the number one seed. And the one thing that kind of struck me was I saw a highlight where the Colts and the Texans are playing this weekend. Yeah, and whoever wins is in the playoffs, dude. The Colts yea of all people. And the Texans yeah. C J. Stroud is phenomenal. You know what I hate about that? Though? They I mean, they make it sound like the Panthers made the wrong choice because in their first year, I mean give you the Panthers selected the guy from Alabama. There was no one on TV saying you don't take Bryce Young that you should. Now everybody's going I can't believe the Panthers owner makes all these bad decisions. Come on, man, it's our first year. Don't you think in this McAfee talked about that a little bit today. Don't you think that the NFL just seems to pick the next richest guy to pick on? Will you ever notice that, Like now that Dan Schneider's gone, it seems like everybody's turned on the point and McAfee's like, here's the thing they don't understand about the Carolina Panthers. He's got more money than God. He doesn't care. He's just gonna flip you off and pay you and shut up like that's but it got Dan Schneider. Eventually. You can't be throwing drinks on fans. That's a little bit tough. That's that's your no. But I agree. I want to know what the fans said. I do want to know that too. I'd like to hear that. I mean, hey, I could make something up for us. Yeah, right, left with that. Well, I'll put it to you this way. All you got to do is have the right scenario. If it had been the old Bobcats owner, the black guy and a white guy had aational slur and he got a drink thrown at him, it'd be a completely different store. Absolutely don't know what the guy said yet. I haven't heard anything about that. No, we have no clue. So what I what I told? What he is Grove Street FM. We have a strong family here of network, right, we have fourteen podcasts. What be up to something like that? I don't did you see the statistics at the end of the year, Trent I saw what what he had said about the complete the whole Grove Street FM. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we had two hundred and thirty three thousand people download the app, right, yep, the app views, we'll call them at views. So well, you can't keep asking you you can't look at the app without down he can. It's a yeah, but that's a lot. Let's just say this a lot. Well yeah, yeah, no, no, you to put this in perspective, CNN, what do you think their average viewer is between ages of eighteen to forty five? Ten, that's twenty two thousand. Yeah, so, I mean the numbers are stacked. And one hundred and three thousand downloads of the show of the collective network of shows? How many? One hundred and three thousand, so god, and this hundred thousand is hours? Yeah three. But listen, here's the funny part that I really didn't put this in the post. But that is technically under that's not the most because I have a new status system that didn't kick in until the end of March. Here we go, So that number is actually lower than what it actually is. But I didn't want to oversell it or hype the numbers. I wanted to do. That's only seventy five percent. Yeah technically. Yeah, so there's about two and a half to three months worth of stats on the shows downloads that were not included. All right, So here's what we're going to try to do here on Growth Street FM. We're always constantly growing. Which reminder, Grow Street FM Live Sports. We'll be back in action on Friday. Thank you, join, don't join, join the team joint live at Liberty you can join the team.

Congratulations to coach Pribble and the Lynchburg Christian Academy Bulldogs. So on this family net family of networks. How what's the proper way of saying Grow Street FM, Grocery FM. We are looking for the next big talent and I for one want a weekly sports show. I mean I can change my voice. No, I don't we have our show, we need a mic bream and somebody else. Lynchburgh doesn't have a sports show and done that. Rich Roth's gotta do something. Have you listened to it? The Lynchburgh doesn't have it for twenty years? Okay? Would you not like to listen to an entertaining sports show? I would, all right? So I with the talents out there right south there, yeah, all right, So we have a wide open platform.

Yeah, so I want to shout out for him. I got it written here too, man. I can't I cannot remember someone scoring this much, but I texted the other night congratulations Cooper, his son playing for JF scored thirty one and that was their holiday tournament, and the next night scored thirty seven. Yeah, and grief to to nail down on that point. It wasn't against crappy competition. They were playing on the holiday tournament. Yeah, correct, they were playing Cave Spring. Yeah. I'm not sure what Kate Springs record is or that tournament how good it is, but it's still I mean it's I mean, that's that's Yeah. You want to crush it awesome, I don't care. Dude to thirty seven.

This quick segment this week twenty twenty three is in the books. Twenty twenty four seems to be the year of explaining just how great the president was in his economic accomplishments. Have you noticed that? Yep? Got that on. I have had it actually today. Good, so that'll be coming up later on. I know. That's all I saw this weekend was how great the the forecast was for the economy. Yep. And yet I'll I heard when I was at the beach is Yeah, this has been a rough off season. We typically have a lot of people here, but groceries and everything else through the roof. That's one thing I noticed the other day that people aren't talking about foreclosures and repossessions. Interesting and what those stats are. Tucker had a great segment on his new network about that. It was really eye opening. Epstein. That's the big thing in the news right now, right the Epstein List. So when I see stuff like that in the past, I would be like, Oh, I wonder who's on this? But when I think about this, look, we've talked about this for so long, stupid. So the question that I have is who's on the list that they need to destroy? They being whoever? Yeah, and because why else would you? Why else is this coming out? Like who's making that decision that says, hey, male's a good time to release the list? Well, today they were supposed to release it, and then on my way down here I saw where they've postponed it till January twenty second. Yeah, I don't know. I'm trying to figure out what is and what isn't because I saw somebody going through the list. Yes, I saw one two on Facebook where they literally or not Facebook but TikTok where they literally were showing the name and then like the Alex did you see that one that at Yeah, I'd like to start Andy Stewart. That's fine, that Andy Stewart. I don't know him, Andy Stewart. Uh, And the one speriously died here recently, which which is eerie. When the flight logs, when you would see the people's names, and then they would have like one female, they didn't have her name. It was listed one female. It's like, all yeah, But the one that was real eerie was the two females. But the return flight log only had one female. Oh God, what happened with the other female. Oh so I'm like you, I don't know, I don't I don't know what's the list has already been out because I've already seen the names so much. My buddy today, my buddy Warren, he got thrown in Facebook jail because he just mentioned that. Uh. He mentioned the story about Jimmy Kimmel saying that he was going to sue Aaron Rodgers for saying what he said on the Pat mcavy show. And there was something about I bet he's worried about the list coming out, something like that. Jimmy Kimmel, the guy that would sit there and lie about insurrection and jokes and everything. He literally lied about Aaron Rodgers and he can't take the heat when it's on him. So apparently he says that. So my buddy just posted he protests so much? What is that? Whatever that saying is he do protest too much? And that his name was on that old flight logs list. So I don't know. It's kind of interesting, but that that through my buddy in Facebook jail of course, Yeah, that's kind of interesting. Uh. The elect the Election Integrity Act. One of my dudes that I love, Clay Higgins. He is a congressman from New Orleans. When you hear him talk, he sounds like a mafia guy. But he has introduced legislation for the Election Integrity Act. And it's a simple, it's not a convoluted it's not a back door. It just says that if a major party UH has a name on a ballot and a state removes it, that that state's electoral college is not counted in the general election. I have no issue with that. I think it's a great And if you if you vote against it, what do you say? I mean, like, what are you? Dude? You know what? I get so tired of I can't tell you how many times I hear someone say I've got a bill in to do such and such, and nothing ever happens, and they never they never even vote on it. It never even becomes that's just like more news or fodder, more nothing more, blah blah blah. I hear you, like even the thing about Trump not being on the balance. To me, the only reason they're doing this is so that Trump's attorneys and he have to go spend more money in Maine and Colorado, and eventually even those judges knew that they're going to get overturned because he still has his name on the ballot. Yes, I echo your sentiments, and I because I think the exact same thing when I see this. I'm tired of hearing Jonathan Turley on Fox or the other ones talk about our democracy because nothing has happened for all the other times. For instance, listening to Chuck Schumer talk about the ramifications in the attacking of a Supreme Court justice. Nothing happened to him, but it was how dangerous his speak. Nothing happened. Nobody has ever said a word to Chuckshu, we're about it, yet our side kicks out. George Santos, correct, That's what I'm saying. It's you're like me, You get tired of hearing it because it's stupid. It doesn't nothing changes, nothing ever changes, make somebody brought up a simple point that I never thought about all of these allegations that you're alligating the Trump had that Trump's done. Alleging alleging is that the right word. I like alligating those great event like an alligator. So all of these things that they're alleging that he's done a bunch of croc aren't Republicans alleging the exact same thing with Biden, But nobody's threatening to take him off the ballot. I mean his are way worse. I mean, honest to God, I think you can make an argument that a guy that has left that many illegal aliens invade your state probably shouldn't be allowed on their back in your state exactly. I mean, why couldn't you make that as valid as anything? Sure you could, all right, Johnna Slippery Slope Local Elections new council was sworn in last night. What he had the coverage on Grove Strera at FM, breaking coverage. The new members are Updike in Foreman and they will join returning members Black, Hayley, Carson, Johannson, and Stanley. Tim Black was re elected as mayor and Stanley vice mayor. Your life is complete, mister Trent my life is complete? Interesting? Would he I saw? I guess, did you see the women's department store that's opening up in Bedford? Now? Apparently huh, he probably wouldn't. But I'm wondering why. You know, only because I pay attention to what's going on downtown, because I'm trying to find people to least the space of mind. But no, I mean I like it. I just I get so tired of the locals. I just I'm so sick of it. So it's I want to explain why you're not on council. I have no problem saying it. That's my campaign right there. Yeah, that's a campaign for me. Yeah, headphones. Anyway, I have no problem saying it. Listen, it's a high end department store. The lady is from Fredericksburg. She has a high end department store there. She's putting one in downtown. It is beside Rose Sitzler Attorney, across from the Social Services building. And I mean there's stuff, you know, like garments and things like that are over one hundred bucks, and the locals, oh, it's too costly or too pricey. And I say this every time. I don't need you shopping there. I need somebody from Force, somebody from Roanoke, somebody from Lynchburg, somebody from Smith Mountain Lake shopping there, the small mindedness of it's too expensive for our town. Yeah, I want that. That's what brings in other right, you think let me ask you a question, would he do you think Jim Messier, who owns Arthur's Jewelry, wants a department store or another antique store that's selling thrifts or does he want to high end boutique in here. Well, the same people that complain don't go in anyway. It's just it's especially on Facebook, it's just such a pit of despair. It's just like, y'all just support a business opening, period, Like how how about the renovations that are going on at the what used to be the Azul restaurant. Yeah, the anger Oh I watchro by that to day. It looked like they were converting it back to an old Phillips station or something. I mean, no, it's gonna be of Brown and Edwards think, uh financial, Yeah, it's just gonna be in office. But the anger online? How dare them to do this? I'm no, I'm not joking. Somebody puts a Facebook post on of You know, look what they've done to this beautiful restaurant, and then they go crazy in the you know comments, right. I told the buddy of mine that I was going to take a picture of the building they tore down over here on the other side of the apartments. You've seen that. Yeah, yeah, look what they done to that old red bill. Gosh devastating. By the way, they're building a fitness center there. That's nice over there. Exactly did they complain when y'all renovated this section of land right here that people just protest because I don't really care, dude, I don't care, So I just it's is Prin's right, It's probably why I just don't care. Just didn't sound like a good campaign slogans. That's what was on the billboard. T Yeah, what's happening is brought to you by State Farm.

I mean he threw him the best softball questions that you could possibly throw them. And you know he knew the questions before he started in front of it. But he couldn't even answer that question.

That's what mean, Like you never felt like, yeah you started, Yeah, these are all of these aren't mine, they're going out. Yeah. What got me thinking about this was there was a meme a Mimi one of trends Mimi's that showed a guy on a yoga mat doing setups. Day one. Yeah, day two, he's like laying on his side. Day three, he's in a curled up position. In day four the mat is over top of him like he's asleep. And I'm like, that's me right there. All right. So number ten, yeah, uh, be on time. That's a lot of people are you know what, I'm going to be on time? So this is just just resolution because most of the time your top tens are your top ten, but there are some of mine are in here. But to be honest with you, I'm not a real I'm not big on resolutions, So I am you never, Like was told very early on in my Wiley and Wilson days, Yeah, be fifteen minutes earlier. You're one minute late. You know. I had a fascinating lunch today with the head of Wiley Wilson no, good, Yeah done, it's out great conversation. Yeah, I will say this. You actually taught me early on. Ron Driscoll was the one that hammered in my head you other people's time is important, never be late. But you were the one that gave me the idea that if you're going to be late, make sure you call way ahead and tell them if you're going to be ten minutes late, tell them you're going to be twenty minutes late. And then when you show up ten minutes they think you're actually early. And that works. That's a great idea, dude, it works. Well. You don't want to say, I mean, part of it is you're not trying to appease them. You've already shown you're late. You don't want to say ten oh five and then be late again. Correct. Don't hit it on a minute, dude. I have done that where I'm just something got caught up whatever, and I might I'm so sorry, I'm gonna be fifteen minutes late, and they're like, okay, no problem. And then I show up in five minutes and like, oh you're early, and it's they forget all about you being late. It's a great piece of advice. Number nine, travel more. That everybody says they wants to travel more, and then they end up doing what we all do, which is work forty hours a week and never get a chance to go anywhere. Number eight be more organized Some people, like my wife, I don't sure how you can be more organized. But that's one. Stop cursing. I do this one every year and I last about an hour. Well this show, you did it in the first hour of the show. Oh god, the first ten minutes of the shows. It's anger that gets me when I get angry, a cuss words coming out, and you bring it out in me. By wood it's not Woody, it's you, it's me, son of them. Second hour, you can Oh, here's another one. Forgiveness and you're part of that too, But you should regret more past grudges. Man, my wife I love saying, Ashley, why can't you just move on? Forgive? Yeah? Yeah, how does that work? She tells me off the time. Oh, I've forgiven, but I ain't forgetting. Yeah that she ain't giving up on that. Read the Bible. I hear this one a lot. I'm going to read the Bible. Now, let me ask you a question. Does this count or does it not count. I had one one year where I was going to read the Bible from cover to cover. Yeah, all right, So I used to My commute used to be twenty five minutes. So I would listen to the Bible on the way to work and listen to the Bible on the way home every day. And I got through the Bible. Is that considered reading the Bible from cover to cover? Did you pay attention? Yes? Absolutely. I don't give it to you, all right, I will say I would say I listened to the Bible. I listened to the Bible. But I will tell you this, when you get into numbers, it's hard to pay attention. Yeah, numbers gets very very confusing. Such and such, be got such and such, It goes on for such and such. I'm going to cut off a little bit here with So I had Riley listed there to ene mine. That was her resolution last year. This girl, and she's a junior at JF. Yeah, she read the Bible. That was her resolution. She did it cover to cover. She had an app to tell her what like every day, how hard you should go do that too? And so just she to keep up so she knows she's on pace. Or not on pace, and she read the Bible for the year and then got baptized this summer. I mean she just did this on her she just really yes, it was great, yeah, great twenty twenty three for her. I will say this, the Bible app that I use, which I think of us, that you that you version or whatever, though I just used the Bible. I forget what's called. But anyway, it notification comes up every day with a Bible verse. It's eerie how accurate those Bible verses are to your day. Oh when you need something? Oh my god, Yeah that's cool. I'm like, turn that off. You ever staid there and thought the preacher must have known what was going on. That dagon sermon is right? Feeling make you feeling heated? Talk to somebody, Yeah, I'm looking at him, going quit looking at me? Man. I went one time before this was a blue Ridge when I went to Blue Ridge, and I still remember I was thinking, man, the spotlight is coming right down on it. And I swear, I feel like everybody's just looking at me. Number four, get a little warming here. Save money. Yeah, I always want to save money. And by six months in and I'm like, what all my savings, I buy a truck, all right. Number three, lose weight and eat healthier at barstool Sports. Do you know Frank the tank? Yes, yeah, then I saw that. Oh my god, that is so. Is it two hundred pounds as a as a person that is heavy? Yeah, I will say just watching him in the look on his face when he got off the scale is uh, dude, that is amazing. That's awesome that he's where he's at. Am I right, was it two hundred that he was? He said he was over five hundred pounds and now he's down the three sixty or was it three forties? He was in his three forties. That's right, over one hundred and fifty pounds. Oh my gosh, yeah, you're right, he was over five hundred pounds. Now, he did say that one hundred pounds of that was because he ended up in the hospital with mercer, which I don't know. How do you get murdered? He still counts he lost it? Well yeah, no, still, yeah, I know that feeling making it all right? Number two drink less drinking and number one, Oh, it's got to be all time joining the gym. Yeah, that has to be everybody's number one could you imagine, like the gyms must lick their chops, like, here comes January, we're gonna get a like. Look, when I worked for the YMCA, I was the I was the marketing director, and we would gear up three months before January. That was all of our marketing budget went from January mid February. Yeah, but you know your new logistics of that. I lived across from the Jamerson Y and it it was unbelievable. January one, you could not party, You couldn't there was nowhere to go. And I lived there and I was like and in February one, you didn't think about it again until December one thirty first, Like, here's what really sucks, what he is when you're dedicated and you go to the gym every morning, this is how you know your life is screwed. Like I was there. Now, I can't say that I wanted to go every morning. Yeah, but whether I wanted to go or not, Trent was banging on my door and we went every single morning. Did we miss We never missed. I mean when we go one morning and the damn gym's closed up. Yeah, So that's the kind of craft that HAPs that happens to me, I actually go every morning and the damn gym goes bankrupt. Oh that's right, Oh that's right, Yeah, you remember it. I'm like, this isn't right. I guess we should have gone two a days. That's it. And so then we started going to the y do you remember, Yeah, and you to get so mad at me because we would get on the elliptical and he's like, oh, I guarantee you I could go further than you. Oh man, we got a stress there, oh god. And we tried to one up at one another, beat each other's records. Yes, and we won damn near die. But all right, what do you get? Yeah? So people ask me this all the time, and I know you don't care, but I do these resolutions where I cut out something every year, right, And so what I do is I got a streak going where December thirty first, I will do what I'm not going to do the whole remainder of the year, and then January first, the following year I will redo it. Correct. So this is what I've done so twenty sixteen. So this is the historic historical ones since twenty sixteen I started. I did no fries that year. Yep, then twenty seveneen was no sodas. Twenty eighteen so no fries was tough. Twenty eighteen was no bags of chips, and then Brian and I get into big arguments about that because Cheetah, Cheetah cheetahs, the cheese puss was not chips. Twenty nineteen was an easy one with no donuts. Twenty twenty was really tough. No bread, so that included pizza, like hamburgers, cheeseburgers, any of those kinds of things. That was a tough year. Twenty twenty one was no snacks or desserts after seven pm. Yeah, that was a good year. That was a year I was trying to lose weight, so I made that. Remember that, Yeah that was but man, I'd see six fifty coming and I knew I had to jump into that pantry just to get something in me before that cheatah. Twenty twenty two was no chat Asians. That was dump. Twenty twenty three was no cake. And this year twenty twenty four, I'm gonna try to do no beer. This is going to be the greatest year of my life because that's what you're getting every week from a gift from me is beer. Collected. I'm not saying I want to drink it in twenty twenty five, but that's what I'm cutting out this year. I love did. Somebody's comment was something that you're like, eight Tito's Tito's a beer. So I have variations on the rules, but it's no alcohol. It's not what I'm doing. It's just no beer. Yeah. So yeah, and then Riley I told you she read the Bible this year and would in our house. He also did no fries this year, so that kid was so freaking happy. Marty took him to Donald's and gave him two fries. That's awesome. That was awesome. Man. I told my mom, you made me think of fries. Think this is so stupid, but it's the little things in life that make you happy. Is there anything better than finishing a value meal or something and reaching back in that bag and the one more that's like a gift? He was just like, there's a fry left. That's it's a great feeling. What are do you have any resolutions for the year? Nah, you know, Swoody balls anything I've out got what business related? It's kind of boring though, but yeah, just does refine my business you know, just kind of like focus on you know, parts of it, kind of filter through and just I'm over here trying to add shows. That's that's part of it. Yeah, refine and grow. We grew a lot last year and built some good relationships and shows and everything's going well. Just I want to make sure that goes keeps going, So keep it refining and keep it tight and lean and going up. That's all just been too much. Can go to disneymore. Yeah, we need to have Laura on the show. Yeah, she'd be great, definitely. Yeah, she could talk about her top ten favorite things about the show. I want to, Hey, you know what we're gonna do Laura's top ten amish things? Oh god, was she amish too? No, I just don't want to hear what she thinks about she's probably in homewood shot. No, I can get on that episode, all right, yep, on to how about it? That's fine. Say I just got three things to say. God, bless our troops, God bless America, jo start God. Yeah. Yeah. So speaking of resolutions, I've got one to play for you here. That's gonna be me the rest of the year. Cut fifteen, Hello house, I'm glad to be more more over buried. And I'm gonna make you all, lord y'all have no choice. I love the best part. Not only is he so good at that, but when you watch the clip of him the way he comes out of his shoes, he's like yelling at you and pointing at the camera and he's got those that, I mean his hands. You ever notice how big is hanged. Oh my gosh, I mean, this dude is just what. He was a freak of nature. He was just just. But man, what I saw that was one of those tiktoks that you see, like your resolute, more obnoxious, more overbearing. But what's that I got, see, Trent? I guess that was my newslution five? Back on? All right, So you were talking earlier about the whole Claude van damn thing and what you know out there already promoting what Biden has done. Dude, it's an election year. Obviously they're not going to have any debates on their side, right, So what they do now is every Sunday they're going to parade out the van damn lady and let her do the promoting. All right, So let's listen to cut twenty. This is what we're going to hear this year. We need to continue to work together on border security. Right the president first day in his administration. In a couple of weeks, we're going to hit three years since the president been in administration. The first thing that he put for it was a comprehensive immigration law, and that's what he put for it to Congress. And that's because he believed that our system was broken. We need Republicans in Congress to work with us on that. But we saw what the House passed ending ending of last year. They wanted to take away law enforcement folks who are at the border trying to protect our protect our border. Instead of them going after the president's family, they should really truly, truly focus on the American family. We need to unbelievable. Did she say that was one of the first things he did? Yeah? Did she not realize Democrats had control and he was exactly elected, right, So how did Congress not take it up? She said. What she's saying was the first thing he did was promote border security. Like the stuff that he did. I'm dude, they just they just lie, They just come on and they just lie. And the other thing about her is I don't know what she's doing with her makeup, but she's blinking like you know, she's lying when she blinks, like she does this over blinking. But she's done this thing with her mescara. It looks like the raccoon that you had in your chacuzzie or your hot tub. It could have been her hanging out. It was her saying right there and she had the little pink going across and dude, she's blinking so much. It had I had a hard time listening to it. But here's here's another one that it's just you're just gonna love this. What she had to say cut twenty three for two words. Two words that that I'm going to give you that we're going to continue to do as it relates to the economy, is continue to lower lower cost and that has been at the center of bidnomics. That has been at the center of how the president feels like he needs to move forward. And I'll take a step back for a second. In the last two years, almost three years now, the president has done more more in the last three years than some presidents had done in two terms. In two terms. Wow, oh boy. First of all, we're paying a minimum eighteen percent middle they took over. We went to a restaurant in next hid where it was myself, Honor, my son and his girlfriend. That's it, just us eighty seven dollars and it was lunch menu and it wasn't expense. We didn't do seafood. I had a cup of soup. That's not a lie. Yeah, a cup. That's the only thing I had in water. And it was eighty seven dollars. And that's not including the tip, just a tip. So I mean, it's idiotic to say we continue lower costs when you when you listened to her first off, Biden couldn't even answer an answer on the New Year's Show, right, he cannot answer it. Now she's out there on Sunday doing these Sunday shows. When Kaylee mcinnane Nearny remember her mcinally when she was stomping on people with that notebook that she had, did you ever get the feeling that she's running the country. No, she knew what was going on. She could cite when Trump did this or whatever. Correct. I swear when I hear this lady, I figure she's she's one of the ones running the country. There's no doubt she i mean, she's the one up there like standing on her heels. You know, you've brought up a great question when when when Trump was in office? Smart Meadows? Uh, these were some of the inner working guys cash for tail? What's the other guy's name? You know, these were the inner working guys, right? Yeah, that were his advisors. Who are his advisors? Man? How do we not know who they are? The only three people that I think are running the country? Is that one video where you see him trying to answer the question on the phone, and they showed the people with their heads peeked around the corner that are trying to answer for him or give him the know that blinking fellow Anthony BLINKOTNT. But who's his chief of staff? Like Obama was Valerie Jarrett? You know what I'm saying, you knew who? How do we not know? And how isn't that person on any of these shows? In one of the under reported stories I don't have? Why would Jill Biden? Jill Biden have a press secretary? That's a great question. Did you know that her press secretary got run off in Spain? You know there were that G seven summit whatever that little thing is where all the countries get together. He got run off because he brought his gay lover that he just met in Spain and tried to get him up on the same floor that Biden was on. Yeah, dude, like you couldn't like Spain or China didn't bring in some gay guy to get onto the floor and kill our president. And he's just bringing some dude up there. Anybody heard that story? Now? Did you know that story? I never heard that till today, and it was underreported stories. Right. Tell me if you've ever heard of this guy, Jeff Zence, ever heard his name ever? He's the White House Chief of Staff and nobody knows it's a joke. Has he got lipstick on? No? But I will find out his background. Hey' Kevin joining us today? I think so? But you still got that's cups? Well, that's you? Are you efforting? I am? I can't. Okay, I'm looking this guy chief of staff and it has struck me. Here Ron Klean was before him. Never heard of that guy either. Kirby is the other guy that I was thinking of the Navy, the secretary guy, and I swear between the three of them, and then I still think that Susan Rice and Obama are pulling the strings everywhere. Well, that's what I'm wondering. But then when I see this stuff, I'm just thinking, who are these and how are they connected? There you go. He was the director of economics for Barack Obama, so that makes sense. And he's the director. He was the director of Office and Management and Budget. Wait a minute, I thought that was a non partisan I thought the Budget Office was a non partisan organization that did the budget. So the CBO congressional budget also. You know, I've been thinking about it. Obama. I've been worried about him ever since they lost that down chef to the lake, just the chef, you know. You know, they wanted to They tried to make it sound like Millenia wasn't with Trump during the holidays, and they left out that Milania is taking care of her mom who's in like at that hospice state. So she's with her mom trying to take care. They left that part out of why she's not been with him on these Christmas and the New Year's tours. He's been by himself. Did you not notice that no one noticed that Obama wasn't with Michelle at the the funeral for Rocelynd Carter. Oh, I did not have to send dude. He's not come out since he lost his gay chef. M. That's a good point. I'm just wondering you think he is. Uh. You know, the show's groundbreaking. There's going to be somebody's got to pick up on this. Just so y'all know, does not live near me? Around like a loose What are like genters and the ice tray? I do? The voice thumpers are along everything? Hello? What inflation to high? Do you have a good? Uh? According to kg P, just listen to one bucket? Did you ever get a holiday? Yep? I got my baby back Wednesday? Tuesday, baby back? Baby? Would you lose my white diamond the twenty nineteen Chevrolet Camaro? I didn't know that's what you drove. She went injured, she got sick. Mmm. Yes. Unfortunately, Kevin did not make the trip to the beach. We were all devastated. I got up Trent, got my bags packed, got on the road, heading up seventy seven, got on eighty five, got up to near Greensboro, heard a roying noise, pulled over on exit and a guy pulled over and answers everything all and I told him I just needed to get up off of the exit. I got to a VP station and the light come on and said break assist, and so I got to check it into it and all anyway to break caliber. It was a break sensor that sensors the calibers to your breaks. So if you put on brakes, it would push you back to you and it was a hard pedal. They wouldn't give none. That roaring noise was the caliber. Yeah, it was rubbing up. You ever seen an ass on the race in Martinsville at night when they light the rollers up turned glow? Yeah? Yeah. So I just said, you know what, I ain't gonna drive the damage no more. So Recor came picked me and the call up. We went to Burns Chevrolet and rock Hill, South Carolina and dropped her off and there was evidently I didn't know about it, but they had sent a card in the mail if you ever got a newer vehicle, they send things like recalls. But the passenger side airbag had a recall on it, so they went ahead and replaced that why they had it. But I got it back yesterday, drover today, It depends on I told Dylan. I talked to him and Dustin because I'm gonna be coming in for my birthday which is Monday, and that's national championship. But it just depends on if y'all get in the ice sign. I don't think I'm gonna be up on the road coming in Virginia. I think that's happening Saturday. What is y'all's you know, I need to look at that because it looked like the last I saw it look like it was just north of us. Yeah, I don't think we're gonna get anything, but I'll look now since you're here, my friends, Now this is supposed to be happening Saturday, and send y'all's well forrest Virginia's when I got on Aki weather is thirty five for the high, twenty nine for the low, and won du we have thirty seven degrees is the high on Saturday, twenty seven is the low, and the potential is for anywhere from a quarter inch to one inch maximum. Yeah, it doesn't sound like it's gonna be a killer now, that's just no not ice, right. Yeah, I don't see anything about it. Mine mine just says rain there you go. Yeah, I don't think But besides that all right. So if you get to bed for me Brian's or either yes, what Dylan's to watch National Chances? What who you got that game? Uh? You know Michigan is tough, dude. Their defense is just that defensive line. I didn't have any idea they were that good. Their lights out. Their lights out when it comes to big plays and stuff and defense, them guys are just they're corn fed, mashed potato eating, be a can, riding in the back of the truck. Crazy, just country big boet. So you think Michigan, Yeah, I'm gonna take them. They to me. They just got they gonna dominating defense. And you know Washington there offense is explosive. They can have explosive plays, but when it comes down to it, I think it's gonna come down in the trenches. It's gonna be on the offense defensive lines. It's where you're gonna win that game. And I just see Michigan overtaking Washington. You know, typically going into a game one side or the other. Like I'm a real believer in that harball, Like the dude catches a lot of grief, like he lost to Ohio State. I think the first three years when he was at Michigan, and now he's beaten a high state what three four years in a row, same thing. He made it the playoffs three years and lost three years, and you know, it just feels like it's his time. And the Michigan players sort of have taken this US against them approach. But at the same time, most of the country hasn't seen Washington. Dude. Those guys have been steady all year long. And that Michael Pennix guy is an unbelievable quarterback and they've got some studs. And he throws that ball over the top of the left shoulder or in between two people. It's unreal. He has got I mean, you know who. He reminds me of Warren Moon, Yes, and I guess it's because that Washington connection is a husky thing. But god, he looks like you. You know, it's funny because I'm waiting for somebody to bring this up. He's from the Big Ten, Michael Pennox, so is the coach. Oh yeah, the coach was there, so I mean they do have some knowledge of Michigan. Yeah, but there again, Michigan has some knowledge of Pinnis. So it's gonna be a great game. I just you can't count out Washington because everybody has and they just keep winning. Take the same point, Brian, I mean Woody, I was gonna say the same thing. Brian just tooking words out of my mouth. Well, I'm just telling you I want to bet against Pinnis, but I can't because that dude is so good. So I really feel like it's one of those games where I can't lose. Either one of them to me, is deserving. By the way, my fand will count is as high as it's ever been. Yeah, I finally got on the plus side. Did you bet on Alabama? Oh? Man? That was the heartbreaker. So I did two parlays. One it suggested that morning it was trying to entice you. Yeah, I was like, man, I'm going to pick every SEC team over every Big ten team, But then it wanted Texas to beat Washington, and I didn't feel good about that pick, so I hedged my bets. I still picked every SEC team, but then I picked Washington, so I figured, you know what, I'm gonna lose ten bucks, but I could make eighty if Washington beats Texas, right, so it's worth hedging my bet. I needed Alabama to win both those games, both those parlays, so in Alabama didn't make that third. I mean I was three yards from making eighty bucks. So I'm not a big spender. I just I started with two hundred bucks to start college season and I'm at two sixty at the end of end of the year. So what did you come up with on your list? Trent? For your New Year's not eating or drinking. I'm going to do no beer in twenty twenty four. Oh go good lord, gonna be worse off at the end of the next attend of this year. You know, I wasn't a big beer drinking person anyway, so it's not that big of a difficult really. I think you picked up forty eight cans of beer. Cos make you pick it up. It's great. That's very a big beer drinker. But I have not been so much in my fifties up there in the dog races and all up in West Virginia. So I remember the Irish beer drinking green and everything else. You get no beer, just straight up no beer. But I can still do. I can still do t thos and bourbon, that kind of thing, Red Zapple, like any of sad sadder's not a beer, so you're saying the angry I remember cake and all it was deal bread. It wasn't bread white bread, but it was wheat bread. Yeah, oh no, No. The best was the fries. Tater tots aren't fries well or not? Browns and taters and whole fries and dice fries and waffle fries. But I'm not regular free fries, right, just a fry. Die. I wouldn't do fries. I guess bud Light's not considered beer anymore. Say will you drink that? That's what I have to So Perry is my son, is my gauge. So before I was to do something, I texted him and he makes the decision whether or not. I can't. I can't. He thought you could pull off beer. Is that what he said? No? No, I'm saying, like, if you had that question whether a cider is a beer or not, I would just text him and then he's my gauge. Okay, Perry next week, Yeah, okay, so you can drink twenty four guinnisons. I would think that's a draft beer. Yeah, So I could not do that, but I do like the I do. My favorite sider is the Dickens, the Dickens, Yeah, cider, Oh Dickens, what he just got it? Second hour, Room four or old Woodie back. He's just like old Scott. The switch is on now, Perry's listen room for room for they He would Tripolo col his phone, the omish man uh NFL Kevin, how did you like the Detroit Cowboys game. I'm gonna put it to you this way. Once I finish my statement, you all are gonna agree, and then we'll move on to the next subject. Perfect. Every team in the NFL has experienced losing a game because of the referees, and every NFL team and the NFL has experienced winning a game because of the referees. Because nobody on this earth is perfect besides the good Lord Jesus above. And there are games that have been decided by the referees, both losing and winning. And Detroit has had their share of winning games because of bad calls. So people are quick to forget that there are games that you have benefited from in the past, that you have won because of a call or calls during a game. And it's like that spread and across and it's gonna be that away now and it'll be that a way in the future, because no one is perfect, period. There are discrepancies in different calls. But you cannot tell me of any team in the NFL that has not benefited from a wrong this call from a referee that they didn't win a game. The Redskins, we went legitimately, oh my god, I've seen so many games. But then you know, you go back to the fact is what stands out the most, what puts the exclamation point, what puts the star on the tree, and that is is that when you have more viewers in a game, and you have more analysts in a game because it's the America's team, the Cowboys, and you have prime time and it's watched, well, that's gonna overshadow the third night game at the second week of the NFA old back. You know, there was a lot on the line, a lot of things changed because of the outcome. There's no doubt about that. It changed the whole landscape of So you're right, the moment itself was huge. My whole thing is you can make a mistake, which obviously was made, but to claim that it was done on purpose is where I just I scratched my head because there's zero evidence to back up a conspiracy theory. Exactly what I tell people is this, you don't know the logistics of getting ready for a national football game from when the player wakes up in the morning of what they got to go through that day, the process, the people that shows up to the game, how many hours they got to wait on the road in line, how many people tailgates? You got a plethor for of people doing what was it? All kinds of stuff leading up to a game. You're gonna tell me, oh, well, they got it fixed. It just makes no sense to me how you would have so much emphasis and so much Oh. I can understand that the Lions fans being upset. I'm not. I'm not going to negate that, but it would be different if the referee announced sixty eight as the eligible receiver and then through a flag, that would be different. I could understand you being angry. But when he didn't announce it and he called the penalty, you can't say that he purposely changed the call. He made the call that he made because he had seven indeed as the eligible wide receive or receiver that reported Trent. I'll ask you this, did a game that get decided by referee when DEAs Brian called the football and made the cut. Dam I forgot that play. Oh. We had the catch where they had to come up with the rules and what constitutes a catch. That was a playoff game. You had Tom Brady the tuck rule. Yes, there's been many of plays that's happened in the NFL. Is going to happen and they'll change. They'll change the rules on this. There'll be a different way that you have to report after this is done, said and done, there'll be a different way, which I've always said this. We do it in high school. You can't, no matter what you do, you can't go to the ref and report. In high school, if you want to be eligible, you have to wear an eligible number. So we have had lineman change numbers so that a lineman becomes eligible. You can't do that in the NFL. Brian ray Lewis's last game and last play of his career, he ran in there and went up to the referee, put his arm rend his shoulder and he said, I'm reporting to be eligible, and they snapped the ball and that was the last play of ray Lewis's the reader ending that was it. I didn't know, but yeah, what if he called it murder and they called it back stripped. Hey, I'm not letting him go for that. I don't every time I hear him. I just got to bring that up. No, I understand, I understand that. Let me tell you something. They're a thing in life that you me, Brian and everybody else in this world and listening today, we have done something in our lifetime that we regretted and that we were fortunate or not to have exposed or found out about, or we could have been in the public kind too much. That's true. I'm just saying, don't there ain't nobody out there that can be judging, because I can tell. And this is what I would like to happen in the future. These people that get on TV and talk to the American people, and they up there and the way they worded, how they switch it around backwards and try to persuade something about somebody. I believe, if you've got something to say about somebody, and you're an anchor in your own national TV like ABC or NBC or CBS, if you sit there and try to portract portray a different from perspective to the American people. Somebody y'all to be able to bring up stuff you didn't done, and you'll pass and expose you, just like the list going on Jeffrey Epstein, like it always says, when you point the finger, you got more back at. That's why you always points. You can't you can't help me. Hey, do you have a Did you have a did you make a resolution? We talked about mine. Yeah, I told you finally going to be poor pork. Oh you do not doing pork at all? No, no, babe, that's awesome. Guess what we're having Monday night for the championship game. I don't care what you have and I'll have to We're having ribs. Are you? Are you really taking pork out? Is that a religious Is that a religious thing? Now? One thing is I'm getting older. When I either I get the damn gap uh. You have focused it. You still think it's gout. You're not listening to me, Brian. I've been already turned my HT ten Z whatever it is separated from the peels, you said, because I've been doing that for the last month and it's still happened. No, No, it's gonna happen for a while to that stuff gets happened. Well, it's gonna happen in fact A twenty twenty four. I ain't gonna have no boy, that happens too. Is that like one of that that hoof thing you can't have? No, I think is your So your your gout is from your help me out, Kevin, your in begins the end. I think it's a it's a your level. But he was on that one. I got, Yes, I got that. It increases your level of something. I forget what it is, and it gets caught in your joints, and when it does, it can start to crystallize. You have to lower that. And there are pork is one of the things that raises that along with beer shellfish. H Well, that must be what I'm doing too. I have better joints. No beer. Yeah, sweeteners, artificial sweeteners will absolutely destroy you. Yeah, so don't do no substitute like the ones in pink pack or you know which ones is? What is the pink Brian sweet Low, I'm a pink pack. What's the yell? No Flidas on time tonight? More credit for everything? Let me get that? All right? What's your word of the day? Swing? Wrap up? Well, I got a couple of things for you. I guess I love what he's like. What in the world anyway, what all of my guys. If it ain't nothing going right, just go left? Okay, right? That could be the MEMI of the week. Whenever gets mad at Trent, he says, I don't even know water problem is in the world of the today is water? She just gets mad? All right, we'll catch up next week, Trent, Sir. Last thing for you. I got three words brother, mm hmm, it comes forward, mm hmmm. I love you too. There you go, brother, I love you all right. I got three words for you. Made in the United States. God, that's funny. Yah. You got time for underreported stores almost but you got weight loss? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. I got to fifty while I was at the beach. Nice, and now I am back down to forty seven. I had a good beach trip. Now I'm saying I lost weight while I was at the beach. But since i've been back, I've beat Oh oh, but I'm still at forty seven. So I will be at fifty by this weekend. We'll be good to go. Nice traveling. I'll always retain fluid when I travel. I haven't released that yet. Plus it's a different diet too. When you're on vacation, yeah kind of, you know, your body changes a little bit. M Yeah, yeah, you know I've become wi Yeah. On this particular, I really like things that are soupy, Like, uh, today, all I've had today is one time soup. Oh yeah, and I what's great about it is I'll take half of it and split it and I'll have some at like eleven o'clock and then I'll have the rest of it at like three. Yeah, and it's I don't know what it is. It's like I crave that. Uh it's one time that little crispy uh egg noodle? What's a one time? Yeah, you're you're kind of right, it's not crispy. Okay, you're thinking all fried one time maybe, but I'm thinking of the same thing. Yeah, I don't know what's in your damn soup? What is it? One ton met Chinese? I do egg drops soup egg But yeah, I mean I like I like the hot just drinking it. It's good. Like I'll go home today and I'll mix up. I'll take two boillyong cubes, put them in a big glass, like a big cup hot and I'll take crystals hot sauce and pouring there with a little bit of black pepper, and that's what I'll drink. That's kind of my intermittent fasting diet. When I start doing that. Yeah, I like it, but it's something about it, you know. I quit. I weigh myself every day when I was doing the fasting thing, and I do so much of it. So but I decided after I hit my weight that I wanted to with my cousin. He and I were doing it. I was like, you know what, the rest of this year, I'm just gonna eat what I want when I want and not waiveh myself to January first. I was actually pleasantly surprised. It wasn't as high as I thought it might be. So that's great. I'm not in a push to start the fasting again yet. Man. My wife looks phenomenal. I cannot tell you. Send me pics. And we were at the beach and listen, yeah you want something here all start And she did some shopping where she I guess she's all clothes now it fit and you know what I'm talking about, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, And she looks amazing.

Oh, you got to catch up Christmas because y'all were out of town. Oh so going into the beach doesn't cancel out. They get together. She still got all the trees up or the trees come down, y'all. I thought, are you kidding? Of course there are. You don't get out of it. You just don't know, really not okay? Damn. So I took the electric smoker with me to the beach. I forgot to send Trent. Oh so you're not gonna send me pictures of Ashley, but you just send me pictures some of a raccoon in a hot roast, raccoon in a hot tub, and a roast that I I deleted Electric smoked. Oh well I deleted them. I think. Well, I'm disappointed. I mister Ribs, that is I'm taking it's taking the world by storm. And you heard it here first. What is it? It's just it's you wouldn't understand. Okay, Harry, your son is laughing hysterically right now. If he's listening, he knows exactly what that is. The end of show. I know we've got a couple of minutes here, but so the end of show, and I'm not I still got Christy Clark's thing to do. But speaking of the New Year's resolutions and all that and the motivational thing, I do this thing with my kids, and I've always taught them this that there are no crutches. And I don't know if they'll remember this when they're going into their adult life, but what I mean by that and not crutches physically, but there's no excuse. And so today's motivation is for those people that are trying to lose weight, those people that are trying to go to the gym, is not to end January thirty first, but to keep going. And so that's that's the motivation I found for today's show. It's wonderful. It's a it's a journey it's a long process, you know. For me, it's I'm happy. That's what I'm kind of laughing about. Is I meant right around fifty pounds and it's fluctuating between forty seven and fifty for about a week. And there was a time where I would be discouraged as hell. Yeah, but for me, I'm going Jesus. I just made it through Christmas and Thanksgiving well, and there's you know, even when I was doing the flastic came, there is that time where you plateau a little bit and then it drops again and you're like, man, how's that happen in one day? So you can't give up on those days? Yeah, But I mean I can say health wise that one. Feeling wise, I feel great, much better. But my legs have not caught up. My feet, knees hurt like ellstill, But Fieub's helping. Four o'clock in the morning, Well you stop with Oh I can't, man, dude. If I could do it every morning, I would. It's so peaceful at that time of morning. I used to let me tell you, are you tired by? Like oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no. Really my granddad used to get up that time, and I used to envy being him like I wanted I wanted to be able to do that. So I'm a six am or, but I would love to be a four am. I mean I would. I would love to be able to do that. That just this the piece. So I'll tell you a quick, a quick story that I won't tell you because my brain just shut off on me at the end of the show piece. I was gonna tell you something that I just the train has left the station. You want to remind everybody about Friday listening. You go ahead, Grocery of FM. Right, you got sports and we're doing a boys game. Yes, it's gonna feel kind of weird. We haven't done one in such a long time. We have that break so yeah, but I'll tell you what. We'll be slamming it in January and February, won't we Yeah. Liberty has a tough matchup tonight. Girls. They've got the return matchup between Liberty and Magna Vista. I think it was a four point game in Magnavistam, so they've kind of them at home. And then my daughter Riley, she has her first travel volleyball this weekend. When do y'all do your first week next weekend. Y'all are at Lynchburg next weekend. Oh, yes, it is Lynchburg. Yeah, it's got rolling up this weekend and then Lynchburg next week. Yep, it's about to be on. Oh I know what I was gonna tell you now. So I used to do a fill in for a guy who delivered Richmond Times Dispatch papers. And so you would deliver them around four o'clock in the morning, right, And I'm just telling you there is a different species that is around at that time of the morning. Yeah, and when you're delivering papers like he what was great? You remember the old tapes that you had in your vehicles, cassette tapes. So he made a tape of his route. So he would say, take a let left, well, I mean that would exactly be where you're at, right, yeah, And then he would say, all right, this first house on the right, there will be a blue mail ox. And so that's how I did my take Google maps for Google Maps exactly. And it was so funny because he would go, this was off of Langhorn Road. He said, now do not look left. There is a guy that makes breakfast every morning at four point thirty and he is totally nude with nothing and man, of course you look left and you're like, oh, that's like the things you see at four o'clock in the morning. Yeah, are crazy. The funniest part are the people that are delivering Like you were, you're not going to see another vehicle and then out of the blue, here comes somebody one thousand miles an hour. It's the news in advance being delivered. That's the other person working at that point. But it was it was fun doing those things at that time. Is it's a different animal, man, the people that are awake at that time. My boss and we sat outside were meeting before a meeting, and our meeting was early, so we were we met at sheets that morning at seven forty five or seven thirty, No, it's seven. And he said he always loves meeting here at that time because this is Americana right here. These are all the people that are coming in to get that coffee and you know, honey bun or whatever, because they're getting ready to go for a day's worth of labor. Yeah, and it was awesome. I mean really it was you know, Southern Air and you know all the all the all the companies that you would think are coming out and got to go to work and contractors and stuff. They all hit sheets and it's just kind of a neat thing. It's oh speaking of that would eat just before you get into Nag's head. Yeah, there is a Royal farm. Oh nice. So I had to stop in and see what the hype was all about. It out it was packed. I will I have one gripe. Okay, why did they change things? Why would your diesel pumps be yellow instead of green? Yeah? Yeah. I literally am like, oh uh this, Like I know I'm screwing up, but it says diesel. Yeah, and it's like that's the only thing that's only great. Their food looked phenomenal. I didn't eat. I don't. I don't like the VP stations have all of theirs is green. It's good mess messages with me. Yeah. The Christmas gas you can't do that. But I'm excited about I think it'll be open here first to February. The Royal Farms in Bedford where they building, Uh it's at Harmony right here in four sixty Okay, Yeah, I mean they're known for their food more so than anything else. Yeah, it's I call it a higher end sheet. I think it's their Their food is more better than it's It's like a wah wah. I would put it on that scale if you've ever been to a wa wah. Yeah. I didn't put wibbi higher than sheets. I put them in the same For me, I just thought they were about the same. My problem with sheets is they we should do that as a top ten. No, that's a great point, because my problem with sheets is you cannot get anything fried at sheets. They do not. That comes out of the friar into the package and it's dripping like it's so they don't put it in a strainer. You know. You know what I'm saying. So you can't. You can't do sheets fried stuff. It's just not good. Never paid attention, but I can't wait. I'm excited about Royal farms here in Bedford, and Dunkin Donuts should be open shortly on four to sixty right where Little Caesars used to be. That'll be Dunkin Donuts.
