Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ninety three morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I'm Ali Max and I'm Mike.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
Here are three things you should know today. Hot now
officially back in West Michigan. Fans shown up in a
big way. More than one hundred and fifty cars lined
up for the grand opening of the new location right
across from Gum Lake Casino, including your guy, the TikToker,
who camped out overnight to be first in line. The
(00:24):
revived menu brings back nostalgic favorites like the olive Burger,
and they say prices, well, they're not going to be
you know what they used to be back in the
early two thousands. They are aimed to give families that
old school fast food value.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah. I saw a review of just the French fries.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I don't know how I stumbled upon that, and they
look the same from what I remember. But I'm sure
they can't be the same price, because that would be silly.
But also they went out of business a while, you remember,
so they can't have the same price, which is which
is fine, but it starts to give you that feeling
of nostalgia. I remember going there a million times, missed
out on it.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The first time around, so I gotta get there.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I think you're gonna like it.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I love an Olive Berger.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Okay, oh, then you'll really like it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I'm excited for that. Amazon gearing up for the holidays,
announcing plans to hire two hundred and fifty thousand seasonal
workers this year. This is the third straight year they
have added at least a quarter million seasonal jobs. Pay
on average over nineteen bucks an hour. That's not bad.
What they're hiring some full time employees as well. Full
(01:29):
time earns about twenty three bucks an hour plus benefits.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
That's not bad pad at all.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The leaves finally starting to change across West Michigan, but
this year's fall color show might be a little bit
duller than usual because of the drought.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
A lot of trees are stressed out and that can
make the colors less vibrant. So right now they are
at their peak in the Upper Peninsula. Lower Northern Peninsula
could hit about in the next two weeks for peak colors, okay,
But for us here in West Michigan, we'll be about
ten to fourteen days from now.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Have you ever done the trail of trees or whatever
up in Northern Michigan.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I mean, like not legitimately. Okay, I've like driven up
there in the fall, but never with the explicit purpose
of doing I went one.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Time when it's so if it's if it's about to happen.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
In the next couple of weeks, I would would recommend I
went one time when it was like peak fall, like
peak fall. I didn't know what it was. Somebody had
just suggested, Hey, you should go check it out. Yeah,
it's like a couple miles I don't even remember how
many miles is of like a tunnel of trees and
it's tunnel of trees.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, it's not trailer trees. It's a tune of trees.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
It's the most beautiful and I'm not even like a
lou look at the colors guy, but it's the most
beautiful thing I've ever seen. And there's like bars along
the way. It's one of the coolest things in the
entire world.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah. Lots of winery, yes, yeah, yeah, but it's a lot.
It's stretches for a really long way, so it would
take a little while to get through it.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
So I gotta stop at bars and go coffee houses
and what can you do?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That's three things you should know, here's one you probably shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
People who lived in the nineteen hundreds had to do
these eleven ridiculous things that no one has to do today.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Get off the phone so somebody else could use it.
Not a thing anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Stand in line to buy tickets. You do not ever
have to do that again. Print directions. Do you remember
doing that? That wasn't that long ago.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, when I would go to a friend's house for
the first time, I'd have to literally print off the map,
the map, quest like, give it to my.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Mom, get up to change the channel. I don't remember
the last time I've even done that. I can't even think.
I don't even know if they make buttons on TVs.
Couldn't tell you. I'm sure they do, but could not
tell you. Rewind a tape.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
That one's kind of sad. Lick stamps in envelopes, Yeah,
you do.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Wait if you don't have to lick them anymore, they
come sticky. Now what a stamp?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I haven't sent out a letter in a long time.
If it does anything, When did that happen? Was it
years ago?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I haven't sent a letter, and a very I've received
a lot, but I haven't sent a letter in a
very long time.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, stamps are sticky now, like what crazy?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
What wild? Or you have to cut out coupons, wear
pantyhose to work. I didn't know that was okay.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Print presentations on transparency paper, Oh.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Oh, like for the projector I'd like that too, though,
Oh that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Those like pens, those Visa v pens or whatever they were.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Loved.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Those made me feel so important.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Oh and they've got smartboards and like just yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
There's so many things that we don't do anymore that
I loved as a kid.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I don't have to think of, but man, those are
some good ones.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And like chalk, does anybody still have a chalkboard or
is it all dry erase?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Now? Think it's all dry erase. I liked a good
chalk but it was messy. It was super messy, but
I did like it.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Clapping the erasers, that was like the best job.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I loved that.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Beat Eddy. Three sports.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
There was really only one game yesterday, Red Wings versus
Montreal and they won or excuse me, Toronto and they
won three to two. They do not play again until Wednesday,
and you have no sports today.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
That's weird, I know, I don't know what to do.
