Kirk laugh, Kirk laugh.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
This is almost like a chuckle, but it's a it's
an awkward chuckle. It's like when someone says something that
you can't believe they said, and you want to respond,
you don't know how and you just kirk laugh.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
M Or it could be the shock you feel when
you plunge into cold water.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
That's ever understand why people do that, Yes, especially with
all these people going to these cold what do you
call the cold plunges that they cold plunges. I'm not
signing up for that.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's supposed to help you sleep better, it's supposed to
help you with inflammation, it helps prevent diseases.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
They got all kinds of benefits. They say, he benefits.
They say, you're unbelievable. I can't handle it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Not gonna try.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I can't do I can't do the cold. I can
do a sauna, I can't do the cold plunge. It's
just it goes against every fiber in my being.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, I'm not a cold guy either. I tried doing it.
I went to h what's it called ice Box? Is
that the name of the place done in Forest Acres? Yeah,
I had a membership there for like a year, and
you know, it was a great deal for that. But
that now that one. I forget the actual temperature, but
I know it's below zero. And you go in you
(02:35):
have special slippers on your feet, good lord, and then
you have no alls. You had on with special slippers,
and I think I wore a face mask in order
because you didn't want you to breathe the cold air
because it would burn your lungs or your nose. So
you have like a like a face mask on, but
just like the COVID mask, and you can do it
and your underwear and that's it.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And you go and put a gun to my head.
And I'm not sure I'd rather take the hot lid
and take the cold weather.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
A lot of people swear by it. Now, I do
want to get a sauna. I don't know why saunas
have to be so expensive or just so hard to find.
I mean, they're just nobody's really offering saunas as an opportunity.
The real saunas we have tons of health benefits that
have been studied, and the like the problem is, I
(03:24):
wanted to I tried it. I almost bought a cheap one.
I almost bought it. I like, had it in the cart.
You ever do that? You ever put something in the
cart in the cart, and now you're ready to hit by?
And then I said, let me just google one more
time on the thing. And it was talking about the
health benefits come. It's got to be hot, bro It's
got to be one hundred and seventy degrees minimum. That's
(03:47):
where the help.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I know why I have it. I've been to like
one hundred and forty I think one.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Hundred and seventies where the health benefits come. And so
I guess like the finish saunas, the ones that those
people do like every day over there. They go in
for like fifteen to twenty minutes and it's one hundred
and eighty degrees and they just sit in there and
let that steam pour all over them, and it does
all kinds of wonders for your body, they say.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I kind of kind of dig it. I was standing
out yesterday on the hot asphalt in South Carolina and
it was I was in the sunshine. I know it
was ninety nine degrees on the thermometer. I know the
feels like had to be one hundred and five, but
I was on the hot black asphalt, so I'm going
to say it's like one hundred and fifteen. And I
kind of enjoyed it. Yeah, I love it. I realized
(04:39):
that was becoming unsightly. I'm sweating through my shirt.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
But that, I mean, that's better than being cold the
way I look at it, I hate being cold. But anyway,
back to the saunas thing. I had one in my
box for like eighteen hundred bucks, and I was ready
to go, and then I looked at it again and
it said it only goes up to one hundred and thirty.
And I'm like, well, then you're missing all the help benefits.
So why would I pay eighteen hundred dollars and then
some go twenty minutes to sit in it every day
(05:05):
if I'm not getting the benefit.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Now the steam room, the sauna. Yeah, and I remember
the first time I was in a sauna. I was
a young man and it was back in the day.
A girl gave me a Saint Christopher. Do you remember
those necklaces?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
They were popular where I'm from, because we had a
lot of Catholics. And actually the middle school that was
the private middle school. I went to Pitkin Middle School,
but the rich kids, or the Catholic kids, I went
to Saint Christopher's.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
So I got this Saint Christopher on and I'm seated
in the sauna and I'm kind of leaning forward and
I'm just sitting here and I'm thinking, God, she's hot here.
I might just thinking, man, I'm pondering, you know, I'm
thinking how long could I sit in here? And I
don't really I don't have a watch on, because I
(05:53):
think they tell you your watch will melt, don't put don't
take your watch in there. So you're basically sitting there
in your underwear with a towel wrapped around you, and
there's you sit there, and I'm sitting there, and I'm
sitting there and sitting there, and I'm like, I finally,
I don't know how long I was in there, And
guess like twelve it wasn't quite fifteen minutes, like twelve
thirteen to fourteen minutes, because the little at the clock
when it came out. But when I stood up, that
(06:15):
Saint Christopher that had been leaning off of me now
went up against my chest and I mean it was
like a hot coal. I mean I got like a
I got like a blister. Gosh, that is hot. Brother.
They should have told you we don't wear any jewelry there.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't wear anything in there if possible. So anyway,
if anybody's got a a And by the way, the
infrared saunas, that's the angle that I'd actually like to
go on, because the infrared sauna is they say you
don't have to bring it up to like one twenty
taking the health benefits. So but the cheapest one I
can find is like six thousand dollars. So if anybody
got a line on a used infrared one, okay, I
(06:55):
keep checking Facebook, Marketplace. I haven't been able to find.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I'm not opposed to I love the sauna, but it
just seems it just seems nasty. It seems unhealthy when
you get in there.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I don't know, well it would be if they didn't.
If they I mean hopefully if you're going to one
of those types of places, they're supposed to sanitize them
after every.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Day, right, so they just seem like they would never
be really clean. And they got that little what's that
like a eucalyptus.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Kind of Sometimes people bring that in and add that
to clear out your siginuses a little bit. Yeah, Well,
we got Labor Day weekend coming up, Jonathan. And if
you're thinking again, TRIPA a's projecting another record breaking travel weekend.
If you're wondering where are the busiest travel destinations via
(07:42):
car ten, I'll just go ten to one Vegas, Miami, Denver, Atlanta, Chicago, Anchorage, Alaska. Anchorage,
Alaska is going to have more traffic than Chicago, Illinois.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Then Boston, New York, Orlando, in Seattle is the worst
city in America for traffic this Labor Day as far
as the projections go. But Atlanta's in there at number seven.
I hate holiday traffic. I know it's miserable, and I mean,
I know we didn't make it, but I'm sure Charleston
is probably pretty high up there too.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Oh sure, And you get a plan when if you
get a plan when you leave, you can't leave after
three o'clock on a Thursday on a long weekend out
of Columbia and hit twenty six anywhere or I twenty
and think you're going to go anywhere, particularly, I went
twenty six.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It's interesting when I see people study traffic patterns. I
remember seeing like a short video on this, and the
guy was showing why a certain highway had a certain
traffic problem at a certain time, and it was because
when they built the highway in the nineteen fifties or
whenever it was that they built it, they hadn't taken
(08:57):
into consideration that when we're driving to work, the sunrise
would be in their eyes, and when they were driving home,
the sunset was going to be in their eyes.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Way three seventy eight from Columbia, Saluta miserable, and he.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Said, because of that, you're adding roughly thirty minutes to
the average commute, just that the way they didn't, so
they nowadays when they build these things, they try to
build trees around it. If they have to go in
that direction, they try. They're doing everything they can to
minimize that. But you know, when you get stuck in traffic,
(09:32):
I don't is it worse or is it better? When
you get stuck and you're in there for like fifteen
minutes and you're just going one mile an hour stop,
one mile an hour stop, and it just goes on
and on for fifteen twenty minutes, and then you get
up there and you see it has nothing to do
with your side of the road. There's an accident on
the other side. Everybody's looking at it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Right, Or there's a car off on the side of
the road and they're changing a tire. Yeah, did we
really slow down to watch change is tire?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yes? Come on, that is I think it's worse. I'd
much rather see a car on fire in the in
the you know, if.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I had to sacrifice for twenty minutes and standstill traffic,
how want of those somebody sacrifice their life? Is that
what it is?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I guess it's just so infuriating, and I still I
went to London.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Someone to fill it more sorry for than yourself. Is
that what it is?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I've only been to England once and when I went
there it was two thousand, so twenty five years ago
i visited England and I'm assuming they're still doing this.
It was kind of a new practice then and I
still don't know why we don't do it here. That
when emergency services, whether it's a fire truck, ambulance, whatever,
gets on the scene, they're all equipped with a screen
(10:47):
and they can put it up in like thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, the bumper's got a receiver on it, and the
other bumper to the other fire truck is you know,
twenty five feet whatever. They have these screens, they pull
out and they stick the pole down here, they stick
it down the air. Then you can't see a thing.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, they'd stop you from Look.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I don't know why we don't have them.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Like I said, they had them twenty five years ago
in Europe.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Why don't we have those? And or why don't we
have the car Accident Channel? If everybody has the slowdown
and look, you would think this would be the first
thing you'd tune into when you got home, the Car
Accident Channel.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
This could be a million dollar idea that you just
came up with.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
If it's that damn interesting, you would think you'd be into.
Why we might even have Car Accident Channel live.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
It's like on patrol Line, It's like, yeah, and we
have like Curtis or somebody hosting it. All Right, we're
gonna go to Bakersfield, California. Now we got a three
car pile up on the one oh.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
One, and then a lot of people are going out
of the way and we've seen the plea and we
had the tragic loss of how a patrolma here in
South Carolina with a woman and his wife said please
move over and give these guys a little space whenever
you see And this morning on the way in, I
was shocked. Shocked, Yeah, I was. I won't mention which
law enforcement agency it was, but there was a car
(12:05):
that's been on the medium, in the medium on a
bridge here for like two days. And this morning when
I came past it, there was a law enforcement vehicle
on the other side of it. So if I'm coming
and it's on my left, he's parked behind it. And
as I went past it, because I didn't move over
because the car has been there for two days, so
(12:25):
I stayed in the in the left lane. But as
I came past it, there was a law enforcement officer
standing there with the door open. He's standing between the
car and the door and I'm like, brother, turn on
your lights, give me a heads up that I'm that
close to you. And then I did see a lot
of South Carolinians over the weekend. If there was a
(12:47):
broken down car or whatever on the side of the
road on the right and one on the left, I
saw which don't pull off to the left. Don't pull
off to the left. People were getting over and giving
that car more room. So yay, because we're losing too
many people in general, and certainly losing over the past week.
(13:09):
Another South Carolina, how patronati is tragic?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well, Jonathan. Back in nineteen seventy four, So fifty years ago,
we had forty six percent of people between the ages
of twenty five and thirty four. Again, fifty years ago,
forty five percent of people in the twenty five to
thirty four age group hit all four of what's called
(13:35):
the traditional adulthood milestones, so living away from your parents,
have a full time job, married, have had a child.
Those are the four milestones to adulthood. In this ranking,
and again fifty years ago, forty five percent of people
(13:56):
in that twenty five to thirty four year old age
group had hit off one. Okay, today we're down to
twenty one percent. Wow, And a shocking amount of people
in their thirties are still living at home with their parents,
which is I don't know. I don't know how anybody
does it. I don't know how the kid does it,
and I don't know how the parent does it. I
(14:16):
don't know how anybody can have Like now, if there's
something wrong with the child, I get it, that's different.
But I'm saying, if you've got a able minded child,
they got to get out of the house. I mean,
I get getting married. Maybe a lot of people are
putting that. I heard a headline on NPR. I was
listening to NPR for a little bit yesterday and they said,
(14:39):
is getting married now considered a luxury item? I don't
even know what that means. I didn't stick around for
the for the story.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Real question, what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
A luxury item? Like? Why would that? I thought you
saved money when you got married.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I think that they know that the obvious next step
is a child, and they're all freaking out because they
can't afford a kid. We got to find a way
to make sure young people know they all be home
frapping it up for the thing is possible.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
But I mean, you could have phrased it is having
a child the luxture at him, but they said he's
getting married now.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Allow that.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I wish I had stayed for the story, so hear
the insane nothing else.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You're saving half a rent.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
You would think, But I just I can't believe how.
I don't like to say it, but how immature today's
young adult because you are when you're twenty five, you're
a straight up adult. Yes, And twenty five to thirty four,
thirty four years old, and you haven't moved out of
your parents' house twenty one percent, twenty one percent at
(15:42):
all four twenty one Yeah, So the overwhelming majority of
people under the age of thirty four have not done
all four of these things. Had a child, got a job,
got married, or moved out of their parents' house.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Hey, uh, see something else else that came to never mind,
we'll talk about that preparation for tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
The Census Bureau researchers said. The findings today suggest that
young adults prioritize economic security overstarting a family, and this
reflects the rising burden of housing, food, gas, and other costs.
You guys could excuse anything. Do you think that, I mean,
go back and look at the nineteen seventies. Took a
(16:25):
look at nineteen I thought signing Donald Trump. Take a
look at nineteen seventy two. In nineteen seventy three, do
you think that the gas costs were cheap in nineteen
seventy three. Do you think that that was like a
good time that the economics of the seventies were in
a great place. We were, we had the embargo, we
had we had interest rates in the teens, in the
(16:45):
flipping teens, like seventeen percent interest rates.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, and you got to make sure that you do
the equation right so you understand the math as it.
You got to get the what's the word I'm looking for,
not translation.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Rate, conversion rate?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Conversion rate here because one of my kids was talking about, well,
what do you have to may for your first apartment?
I think I paid like three fifty three seventy five. Wow,
I'm like, yeah, but you got to remember something.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, national incomes averaged like twenty five grand a year exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah. So way, all right, Hey, what's going on in
your neighborhood? We should be talking about why are you
not going to get married? What are you doing over there?
Why don't you at home? Frap it up as we
talk about it. We got to get our birth rate
up over around here. I want to become the national
spokesperson for increased birth rate. Get home right now and
wrap it up. They don't want to do it go
(17:36):
work up, Go work with an appetite for a big supper.
All right, Tomorrow when you reach out to us on

They should have told you we don't wear any jewelry there.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't wear anything in there if possible. So anyway,
if anybody's got a a And by the way, the
infrared saunas, that's the angle that I'd actually like to
go on, because the infrared sauna is they say you
don't have to bring it up to like one twenty
taking the health benefits. So but the cheapest one I
can find is like six thousand dollars. So if anybody
got a line on a used infrared one, okay, I
(06:55):
keep checking Facebook, Marketplace. I haven't been able to find.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I'm not opposed to I love the sauna, but it
just seems it just seems nasty. It seems unhealthy when
you get in there.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I don't know, well it would be if they didn't.
If they I mean hopefully if you're going to one
of those types of places, they're supposed to sanitize them
after every.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Day, right, so they just seem like they would never
be really clean. And they got that little what's that
like a eucalyptus.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Kind of Sometimes people bring that in and add that
to clear out your siginuses a little bit. Yeah, Well,
we got Labor Day weekend coming up, Jonathan. And if
you're thinking again, TRIPA a's projecting another record breaking travel weekend.
If you're wondering where are the busiest travel destinations via
(07:42):
car ten, I'll just go ten to one Vegas, Miami, Denver, Atlanta, Chicago, Anchorage, Alaska. Anchorage,
Alaska is going to have more traffic than Chicago, Illinois.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Then Boston, New York, Orlando, in Seattle is the worst
city in America for traffic this Labor Day as far
as the projections go. But Atlanta's in there at number seven.
I hate holiday traffic. I know it's miserable, and I mean,
I know we didn't make it, but I'm sure Charleston
is probably pretty high up there too.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Oh sure, And you get a plan when if you
get a plan when you leave, you can't leave after
three o'clock on a Thursday on a long weekend out
of Columbia and hit twenty six anywhere or I twenty
and think you're going to go anywhere, particularly, I went
twenty six.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It's interesting when I see people study traffic patterns. I
remember seeing like a short video on this, and the
guy was showing why a certain highway had a certain
traffic problem at a certain time, and it was because
when they built the highway in the nineteen fifties or
whenever it was that they built it, they hadn't taken
(08:57):
into consideration that when we're driving to work, the sunrise
would be in their eyes, and when they were driving home,
the sunset was going to be in their eyes.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Way three seventy eight from Columbia, Saluta miserable, and he.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Said, because of that, you're adding roughly thirty minutes to
the average commute, just that the way they didn't, so
they nowadays when they build these things, they try to
build trees around it. If they have to go in
that direction, they try. They're doing everything they can to
minimize that. But you know, when you get stuck in traffic,
(09:32):
I don't is it worse or is it better? When
you get stuck and you're in there for like fifteen
minutes and you're just going one mile an hour stop,
one mile an hour stop, and it just goes on
and on for fifteen twenty minutes, and then you get
up there and you see it has nothing to do
with your side of the road. There's an accident on
the other side. Everybody's looking at it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Right, Or there's a car off on the side of
the road and they're changing a tire. Yeah, did we
really slow down to watch change is tire?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yes? Come on, that is I think it's worse. I'd
much rather see a car on fire in the in
the you know, if.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I had to sacrifice for twenty minutes and standstill traffic,
how want of those somebody sacrifice their life? Is that
what it is?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I guess it's just so infuriating, and I still I
went to London.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Someone to fill it more sorry for than yourself. Is
that what it is?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I've only been to England once and when I went
there it was two thousand, so twenty five years ago
i visited England and I'm assuming they're still doing this.
It was kind of a new practice then and I
still don't know why we don't do it here. That
when emergency services, whether it's a fire truck, ambulance, whatever,
gets on the scene, they're all equipped with a screen
(10:47):
and they can put it up in like thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, the bumper's got a receiver on it, and the
other bumper to the other fire truck is you know,
twenty five feet whatever. They have these screens, they pull
out and they stick the pole down here, they stick
it down the air. Then you can't see a thing.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, they'd stop you from Look.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I don't know why we don't have them.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Like I said, they had them twenty five years ago
in Europe.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Why don't we have those? And or why don't we
have the car Accident Channel? If everybody has the slowdown
and look, you would think this would be the first
thing you'd tune into when you got home, the Car
Accident Channel.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
This could be a million dollar idea that you just
came up with.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
If it's that damn interesting, you would think you'd be into.
Why we might even have Car Accident Channel live.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
It's like on patrol Line, It's like, yeah, and we
have like Curtis or somebody hosting it. All Right, we're
gonna go to Bakersfield, California. Now we got a three
car pile up on the one oh.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
One, and then a lot of people are going out
of the way and we've seen the plea and we
had the tragic loss of how a patrolma here in
South Carolina with a woman and his wife said please
move over and give these guys a little space whenever
you see And this morning on the way in, I
was shocked. Shocked, Yeah, I was. I won't mention which
law enforcement agency it was, but there was a car
(12:05):
that's been on the medium, in the medium on a
bridge here for like two days. And this morning when
I came past it, there was a law enforcement vehicle
on the other side of it. So if I'm coming
and it's on my left, he's parked behind it. And
as I went past it, because I didn't move over
because the car has been there for two days, so
(12:25):
I stayed in the in the left lane. But as
I came past it, there was a law enforcement officer
standing there with the door open. He's standing between the
car and the door and I'm like, brother, turn on
your lights, give me a heads up that I'm that
close to you. And then I did see a lot
of South Carolinians over the weekend. If there was a
(12:47):
broken down car or whatever on the side of the
road on the right and one on the left, I
saw which don't pull off to the left. Don't pull
off to the left. People were getting over and giving
that car more room. So yay, because we're losing too
many people in general, and certainly losing over the past week.
(13:09):
Another South Carolina, how patronati is tragic?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well, Jonathan. Back in nineteen seventy four, So fifty years ago,
we had forty six percent of people between the ages
of twenty five and thirty four. Again, fifty years ago,
forty five percent of people in the twenty five to
thirty four age group hit all four of what's called
(13:35):
the traditional adulthood milestones, so living away from your parents,
have a full time job, married, have had a child.
Those are the four milestones to adulthood. In this ranking,
and again fifty years ago, forty five percent of people
(13:56):
in that twenty five to thirty four year old age
group had hit off one. Okay, today we're down to
twenty one percent. Wow, And a shocking amount of people
in their thirties are still living at home with their parents,
which is I don't know. I don't know how anybody
does it. I don't know how the kid does it,
and I don't know how the parent does it. I
(14:16):
don't know how anybody can have Like now, if there's
something wrong with the child, I get it, that's different.
But I'm saying, if you've got a able minded child,
they got to get out of the house. I mean,
I get getting married. Maybe a lot of people are
putting that. I heard a headline on NPR. I was
listening to NPR for a little bit yesterday and they said,
(14:39):
is getting married now considered a luxury item? I don't
even know what that means. I didn't stick around for
the for the story.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Real question, what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
A luxury item? Like? Why would that? I thought you
saved money when you got married.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I think that they know that the obvious next step
is a child, and they're all freaking out because they
can't afford a kid. We got to find a way
to make sure young people know they all be home
frapping it up for the thing is possible.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
But I mean, you could have phrased it is having
a child the luxture at him, but they said he's
getting married now.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Allow that.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I wish I had stayed for the story, so hear
the insane nothing else.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You're saving half a rent.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
You would think, But I just I can't believe how.
I don't like to say it, but how immature today's
young adult because you are when you're twenty five, you're
a straight up adult. Yes, And twenty five to thirty four,
thirty four years old, and you haven't moved out of
your parents' house twenty one percent, twenty one percent at
(15:42):
all four twenty one Yeah, So the overwhelming majority of
people under the age of thirty four have not done
all four of these things. Had a child, got a job,
got married, or moved out of their parents' house.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Hey, uh, see something else else that came to never mind,
we'll talk about that preparation for tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
The Census Bureau researchers said. The findings today suggest that
young adults prioritize economic security overstarting a family, and this
reflects the rising burden of housing, food, gas, and other costs.
You guys could excuse anything. Do you think that, I mean,
go back and look at the nineteen seventies. Took a
(16:25):
look at nineteen I thought signing Donald Trump. Take a
look at nineteen seventy two. In nineteen seventy three, do
you think that the gas costs were cheap in nineteen
seventy three. Do you think that that was like a
good time that the economics of the seventies were in
a great place. We were, we had the embargo, we
had we had interest rates in the teens, in the
(16:45):
flipping teens, like seventeen percent interest rates.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, and you got to make sure that you do
the equation right so you understand the math as it.
You got to get the what's the word I'm looking for,
not translation.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Rate, conversion rate?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Conversion rate here because one of my kids was talking about, well,
what do you have to may for your first apartment?
I think I paid like three fifty three seventy five. Wow,
I'm like, yeah, but you got to remember something.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, national incomes averaged like twenty five grand a year exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah. So way, all right, Hey, what's going on in
your neighborhood? We should be talking about why are you
not going to get married? What are you doing over there?
Why don't you at home? Frap it up as we
talk about it. We got to get our birth rate
up over around here. I want to become the national
spokesperson for increased birth rate. Get home right now and
wrap it up. They don't want to do it go
(17:36):
work up, Go work with an appetite for a big supper.
All right, Tomorrow when you reach out to us on
social media, you know how to do that. Also tomorrow,
when you want to win, use the same number to
chit and chat, use to win, which you're talking about
