Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ninety three morning show. I'm Ali Max and I'm Mike.
Here are three things you should know today. Michigan lawmakers
proposing a nine hundred million dollar emergency plan to keep
snap food benefits going for one point four million residents
as the federal shutdown halts funding. The plan would use
state dollars to temporarily cover the gap so that families
(00:20):
can keep buying groceries in November. Lawmakers say this is
just a stop gap to help michiganers put food on
the table during the shutdown, and then if the government
ever opens again, you know that would come from other places.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Again, I feel like it has to write.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
That might be a stupid question, but it has to, right, Yes, Okay,
it does at some point, Yes, okay, right, Sure, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
If you had asked me this years ago, I still
wouldn't find no the answer, but I would have guessed, like,
oh yeah, it'll be crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Carter's, the popular kid's clothing brand of plans to close
about one hundred and fifty store over the next three
years as part of major restructuring. You don't like restructuring,
but you don't like to hear and I feel like
we keep hearing about different companies and all this restructuring
these days. The company is also cutting about three hundred
office jobs to streamline operations. Leaders say the move is
(01:17):
going to help Carters study its business and focus on
stronger performing locations and products.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Just as long as.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
They still got the fleece footy pajamas for all my
nieces and nephews.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, it is some of the nicest. Like it's price
you don't get me wrong. It's a little pricey, but
it's real, Like it's nicer than some adult clothes. Yes,
we had oh gosh or whatever it's got, I don't
remember what it's called, something like that.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And it was like it was like overall.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
She is like most uncomfortable fabric.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Like jeed overalls, but like it was jeeds that were
recycled four times over so it was hard edges and
the metal on it was super rusty and it was but.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
It was like ten bucks.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, but it was like armor. Oh yeah, like you
could fall down and oshkosh overalls.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
And like you'd be fine.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
That is a great point because I feel like my
kids have a lot more band aids than I have.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
When I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, and the band aid Don't get me started on
the band aids. Because the band aids look a lot
cooler these days.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
That's cooler. They'll wear them just to be cool.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah. Anyways, this is pretty cool. Bank of America card
holders can enjoy free admission to the Grand Rapids Public
Museum and the Grand Rapids Art Museum the weekend of
November first and second. So that's this weekend. And this
is like a thing that they offer. This is Museums
on Us and the offer runs the first full weekend
(02:35):
of every month.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I had no idea that was a thing.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Either.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You got to show your Bank of America or Merril
card and your ID for entry.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
That's three things you should know. Here's one you probably shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
This is from a Facebook group called the Calder News,
and I'm starting to see this more and more and more. Apparently,
you know the Chicken coop over on I think it's
the Vision.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Oh yeah, every day, I'm a help.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
The Chicken coop is oh good, So you could confirm
if there's a for sale sign on it. But apparently,
according to the Facebook, this Facebook marketplace post, this business
not the building. The business itself is for sale listed
as one bedroom, one bathroom house. It's literally listed as that.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
That's the confusing part. Is there a bedroom inside the
Chicken Coop?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It's one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. I mean, in
the grand scheme of things, that's a that's a house.
That's a wood bedroom, one bathroom house. Maybe a little
bit too much for it.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Actually, it seems pretty wild to sell a business on
Facebook marketplace, But then like, it's the Chicken Coop, so
you're like, no, that actually makes a little bit of sense.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
That's where they would be selling it.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Some of my first ever club gigs, which don't miss
those at all. We're down on that road, like across
the street from it, down the road from it. And
what I tell you that I would easily have spent
I don't know, percentage of my time at the Chicken
Coop just because like, the food was good, the food.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Was solid, the hours got kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yees well, but you coulda got sketchy for it.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Come on, hey, I live over there.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
No, you don't live Okay, I live a couple of
miles it's east of there, but Okay, you can.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Like smell when the fryars would turn on and like
everybody would come out, and then it's like I literally
drive by it every day on my way home. So yes,
I will check for the for sale side.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
It does say specifically this is the building is not
for which I don't know why. Maybe they want to
rent that. Maybe they're trying to franchise it, like a
McDonald's kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, but the business only is for sales if you
have an extra one hundred fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I haven't been.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I haven't been that way in a minute, only because
I drive the other way to get home. Yeah, but
I know, I know that you used to be good food.
I don't know how it is now. I can't say
how it is.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Now all it's been closed. I think for a minute,
oh has it?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Okay, yeah, I haven't seen anybody like hanging outside and
I haven't smelled on my turn there what it.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Reminded me of. And it's it's so much different. But
have you ever been to Cousins Tasty Chicken or whatever?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I have not, And you talk about it, you talk
about it all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Not one single time.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
No what?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Okay, no, is this our next food venture?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Okay, well we'll split because it's too much food for
one person.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
We'll split just a meal.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I love it, but it reminded me very much of
that in its earlier days. And the Cousins is like
evolved and grown and whatever. But that's what I thought
the Chicken Coop was going to be, and then it
just kind of fell off.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Interesting. Yeah, very interesting. Hmmm, we'll have to see.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Maybe maybe Cousins will buy it, maybe Michael buy it.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Oh I would love to. I wouldn't know how. I
don't have the buddy too, but I would love.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
