And Kevin K. T Turner he sounds like this. Good
day DFW.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
And Christina k Ray little Baby corn Bread Race, she
sounds like this.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
But right now it's time for this O track, another
edition of things. Skin is tracking all right. Uh so
we just we know California is stupid expensive. What do
you do? You guys know what gas costs there? Five? Yeah?
Five bucks? Now right over it's over six. While I
(00:47):
was there, geez, why is it more in some places?
Don't know? You know what I'm saying. Proximity economy, flind Oh,
that's good. That was Elmer's. I was like that Elmer
Economy puetrou.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I mean, maybe it's just because there's so many people
and so much driving supplying to man, it's hard to
get it there.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Someone leave a message, someone leave a talk back on
why gas is more expensive. I say, these gas prices,
I'm like, yeah, it really is crude oil.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'm so tired, man, I have to get up early now.
And he comes here and he does that.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So anyways, it's not just the gas. Everything was shocking everything.
I just sent you guys a picture of two piece
of two pizzas, okay, and I'm gonna I'll put this
on social media so people can see it. I want
you all to look at those two pizzas.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Now.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Where I stayed in California in the pizza place was
right down the street, so we could walk and get
the pizza. There's no delivery charge. What I'm about to
tell you is not a tip. But those are two
large pizzas. Describe those pizzas, Christina.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
They do look very large.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
They are both half in half half one is cheese,
just cheese, the other is cheese and mushrooms, and then
one's pepperoni. On the other side is pepperoni, black olives. Oh,
and then more mushrooms. And it looks like New York
style pizza.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
What do you think those two pizzas that you're seeing
there with your eyes would cost no tip, no delivery
charge fifty Well, first of all, they look really good,
so it must be like a good pizza joint. Let
me just say I was very disappointed. Okay, better than
they tasted. Okay, so give us a comp is it,
(02:34):
mister Gaddy's. Uh no, it's it's a good it's a
it's a ballpark pizza. Yah pizza, it's a ballpark pizza.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Okay, yeah, I would say that. I depends.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
I mean, right now, our good friends of Domino's are
offering half off pizzas.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
That's been very nice. I think twenty eight ninety nine each.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Oh so you think sixty dollars a pizza. Yeah, that'sents
for both of them. Oh oh large, gotcha. So you
can understand when I was disappointed that I spent seventy
one dollars on the Oh my god, no delivery, no tip,
no tip? No, I mean when you go, they tipped
when they walked in, because that's the other thing. For
some reason, I have to tip for someone to actually
make the food. Now, uh but I don't. And that's
(03:26):
the thing. So I went to a Dodger game. I'd
never been to a Dodgers game. I was, well, it
was fun, it was hot as hell. Yeah, But I'm
standing in line to buy a beer and I'm just
kind of just talking to my son. I go, well,
I guess I'm gonna spend nineteen dollars on a craft beer.
And the guy in front of me turns around goes,
how does anyone live here? Like I didn't even say
(03:47):
his name, just goes, how does anyone live here? And
that's my thought the whole week, because we're on vacation,
and when you're on vacation, you tend to spend money
and go all right whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I'm just it's gonna be painful. But everyday people just
how how do you? How does two pizzas cost you
seventy dollars? Can't? How is this maintainable? How Dodgers look
this year? They did not.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
So that was the day after the trade. Uh no
a Tani, I don't really do they know? He They
had one guy on base and they walked him just like, okay,
just walking, dud.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
There's a guy. We're not even gonna wearing a.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Pitch to you.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Did you have a Dodger dog? That's nothing.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I didn't have a Dodger dog. But that's the other
thing I thought of, Ben So the the daughter's boyfriend's like, oh.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
My god, we got to get a Dodger Yeah you do.
I mean it's iconic.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
And I thought of what ben Oi says, if you
called a hot dog, it's oath. But if you called
a Dodger dog, right, I mean that changes everything. Don't
they sell ranger dogs?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Is it just bacon or is it applewood smoked bacon?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Right, it'd be said, Okay, I'm gonna go to the
Dodger Stadium and get a hot dog.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
No, I'm getting a Dodger dog. Yeah, I'm gonna go
get a thirty nine cent hot dog. No you're not.
You're getting a Dodger dog.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
