Tune in here to this ​Thursday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the upcoming District 6 Charlotte City Council Republican primary and his exclusive one on one interview with candidate Sary Chakra. Brett highlights the uniqueness of this race—it’s the only Republican primary in Mecklenburg County—and the fact that all three candidates, including Democrat Tiawana Brown, are newcomers.

He discusses Sary’s motivation to run, his emphasis on transparency and public safety, and his desire to bring bipartisan cooperation to the council. Sary also stresses his support for CMPD and first responders, as well as his firsthand experience in infrastructure and real estate, which he says gives him insight into Charlotte’s needs.

Listen here for all of this and more on Breaking With Brett Jensen.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Hi Oh, Let's go Hi Oh, Let's go Oh, Let's
go oh, Let's go.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Nos Talk eleven dead and nine and nine three WBT
Brett Jensen here with you on this Thursday night edition.
I'm breaking with Brett Jensen as we go up until
seven o'clock tonight. Telephone number to get in on the
show seven oh four five, seven eleven ten. That's also
the WBT text line number which is driven by Liberty
Buick GMC and everyone. You need to be following me

(00:53):
on accept Brett Underscore Jensen for all the lateters of
breaking news in and around the shadd area.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
And had you been.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Following me on X you would know that the very
first interview of Sari Chakra and sarih is a young
man in his in his mid thirties and he is
running for District six City Council. There are three candidates. Well,

(01:23):
that means unlike the municipalities which everyone runs for and
everyone's on the ballot. What this means is Sari is
primary or is in a primary I should say against
Christop McCary. Chris McCary obviously the wife of Tart McCarry
who now works up in DC for the Trump administration

(01:44):
in the Transit department. So you've got this is the
only Republican primary in the entire county. So you're going
to have these two run against each other. They're both
in their thirdies, and they're both new in terms of running.

(02:06):
And although Christoph Baccary did run, you know, she ran
for state representative over you know, a year ago, year
and a half ago. I guess last year November, so
not quite a year ago. And the person on the
Democrats side has a run for political office. So you've
got basically three newcomers to the Shattle City Council trying to.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Take over the seat of District six.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
So this is his very, very first interview, and we're
just gonna go. I caught up with him earlier this
morning and here's how it went. So, Siri, tell me
about why you decided to run. I mean, people know
the Baccari name in this district because of Tarpacari, and
now christ is running for his seat.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Why did you decide to get in the race.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
That's a great question.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
So I'm a Charlotte tan I'm born here, raised here,
I've lived in multiple districts throughout the city. But now
I reside in districts. You know, Althrooud High School. I
was in debate team. I've always loved US history, and
I majored in criminal justice at East Carolina University.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
So I've always had like an appetite.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
I'm not appetite, but I've always had a want to
get involved in local politics and upholled laws and just
make sure everyone's on the same page. So well, that
being said, the reason I decided to run is I
saw an opportunity when mister McCary took a job of
the Trumpet administration and I congratulated him, it opened up
a opportunity to run for a vacant seat. Me being

(03:32):
a district of this seat and seeing what is transpired
the past couple of months in Charlotte made.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Me want to run.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
I wanted to run to be transparent with the people
in local government.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
You know, not just the primary, which will cost money.
But you know, famously two years ago Tark spent five
hundred thousand dollars to beat Stiffney Hand. Is Stiffney Hand
spent two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
For a city council seat of all things. We're not
even talking state Senate right, So, I mean, so it
could cost a lot of money to try and win
the seat. Are you prepared for that?

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yes, I am prepared.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
So, as you stated, there will be a primary and
you know, best of luck to my opponent. And after
the primary, I think that's when I'll secure more endorsements
with the Republican Party and people. So I am looking
forward to that and we'll see what happens.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
What things are you championing?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I mean, is there certain things that you really look
at and go Okay, this really needs to happen for
our city or for our district.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Yes, so I advocate big on transparency and public safety.
Regarding transparency, I want to be the voice the people
of District six and maybe one day too most of
Charlotte to they can rely on me, They can rely
on a voice of transparency to translate to them what
is happening in our city. Most people do not really

(04:55):
follow local politics, and honestly, there isn't a platform that
has really re out to individuals of certain age groups
to explain what is going on that's really important to me.
And secondly, public safety. You know, Charlotte had struggled in
the past couple of years regarding what's going on with
shootings and just things of that nature. So I do

(05:17):
support community policing, I support CMPD, and we can't forget
about our brothers in Red the fire department as well well.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
I was gonna say a lot of people always to
forget the fire department as well for that, you know,
and as it was saying, the first responders.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
Right right, and they are first responders. They hold a
very critical.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
And important role.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
When you call on nine one one, you know, they
ask you three questions fire medic or police and if
in an emergency, sometimes you say all three.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
They are the.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
First ones on the scene. So yes, very important.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
What has concerned you about things going on in the
city council for the last whether it's the last six
months or the last you know, six years. What has
been concerning to you as you watch and you've gotten
more more involved and paid more and more.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Attention to what's going on with the city council.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
That's an excellent question.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
So you know, our city council is a majority democratic council.
So I think being a voice of reason, even as
a Republican and coming together and being bipartisan is important.
I feel like the city of Charlotte at times has
struggled to come to decisions together, and at times they
have come to decisions together. I think I'm the person

(06:27):
to really help and bring most of the things coming
together at a higher rate. I am very bipartisan, and
I want to work with my constituents and the people
that represent the other districts, So that's something I really
advocate for.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
What's been the feedback, like when you announced that you
were going to run, whether it was through other Republicans
or just your friends or what has been the feedback like?

Speaker 5 (06:51):
So the feedback has been very positive. People know me,
I'm very charismatic. I'm a very social person and I
just love dealing with people. So serve in public office
to me is a privilege. And when I've shared that
with my family and my friends closest of friends, of
course everybody supported it.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Now, of course, you know, District six was.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Heavily a Republican and it had mister Tark Bookari as
a councilman for the past couple of terms who did
an excellent job. So I knew that running, especially in
a primary, I would face some setbacks. Knowing that the
Bookary name is there, but at the same time, Krista
Bokari is first time running for this seat. I am

(07:33):
also a first time runner for the seat, and if
I'm not mistaken, a Democratic opponent as a first time
runner for the seat. So it's a really level playing field.
So despite what I may here, I'm in it to
win it. I'm here to speak to people. I'm out
there shaking hands, giving out flyers, pamphlets introducing myself, and
I'll continue to do so for the primary on September ninth.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well in this district specifically, while yes, Turpercari has won
the last you know, the less several terms here, it's
because he's won the unaffiliated vote. That's what's always put
him over the top. And I think technically there might
be more Democrats in this district than actual Republicans, but
he kept swaying the unaffiliateds.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
How do you appeal to the unaffiliated votes?

Speaker 4 (08:15):
That is an also an excellent question.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
I think by being just transparent, level headed, and just
being reasonable, hearing people out. And that's one of my
jobs here is and duties, just to go around and
talk to every single household in District six, whether you're blue, red,
or unaffiliated. But yes, I believe there are more unaffiliated
voters in our district. And I think by going door

(08:39):
to door and talking to these individuals and letting him
know that we can come to the table with agreements
and solutions to the better of District six.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
All right, So I end every conversation with this.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I just did this the other night with Congressman Mark Harris,
and also do this with Tim More and the lowest
levels of politics to the levels of politics and everythingle
one the same way.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Is there something that you'd like to say to.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
All the listeners and all to the voters that are
happening to listen right now or we'll download this later.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (09:11):
Absolutely. My name is Sari Chakra. I am running for
Charlotte City Council District six. I do have a website
where I share what I believe in in my policies.
That's www dot Sari Chakra dot com. You can reach
out to me. I do have a Facebook page. I
do have an Instagram page. Reach out to me. I
want to answer questions. I want to come around and

(09:34):
put my name out there, put myself out there to
take on questions from people in this district. I am
a voice of reason for you. And even though this
is my first time, I am turning thirty four years old,
I bring a lot to the table, especially from a
private background in infrastructure construction with roadways, so I've seen

(09:55):
firsthand what Charlotte needs, and of course in real estate
by dealing with small in people. So I'll end it
up that and I look forward to answering any questions
you guys may have.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Please visit my website right well, real.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Quick, because I learned this my first year in journalism.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Spell your name to people.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Because I remember my first year journalism working at the
Shot Observer, somebody's told me their name was John and
I just spelled it john and they spelled it j
Owen and I got ripped sideways.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
So I don't care. If your last name is Smith,
there might be a y instead of an I.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
So I always say, how do you tell people how
you actually spell your name?

Speaker 5 (10:33):
Sure, I'll tell you how to spell, and I'll tell
you how to pronounce it. So it's pronounced Sari Chakra.
I tell everyone it's like Gary with an S. To
remember my first name, Sari Chakra. It's spelled s a R. Y.
Last name is spelled.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
C h A k r A.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
All right, Well, Sarah, seriously, I do appreciate today taking
the time to talk to me, and I know we'll
be speaking more as we get closer and closer to
the first week of September.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
So I appreciate your time.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
I look forward to it. Brett, thank you for having me.
I look forward to it again.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
So that is Sarah Chakra again running for Charlotte City
Council District six. It's the only Republican primary in all
of Mecklinburg County for Charlotta City Council. You've got two
Republicans running and at large, and you've got you know,
other Republicans running in various districts.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
And school boards and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
But this is the only place that there is a
Republican primary, and these two will, like you know, early
voting will start.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
I believe. I think it's August twenty first. I think
some run in there. So again, you're gonna have about
two weeks of early voting. So from there we'll see
what happens. We'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
But like I told him, or asked him, I should say,
are you prepared to have a lot of money because
it's going to cost money this particular seat, because it's
the most challenged seat in all of the Charlotte City Council.

Speaker 6 (12:16):
Welcome back to Breaking with Brett Jenson on this Thursday night,

(12:41):
going up until seven.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Okay, so I'm just gonna throw it out there. Go ahead,
and I'm just gonna throw it out there. And I
may take grief, I may take some heat.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
It's okay.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
I'm secure enough of my masculinity to say it. I
get home last night at seven twenty five, seven thirty
seven twenty five, and I go on and as soon
as I'm going into the house and I get an

(13:16):
update on X from Adam Schefter, the number one NFL
reporter for ESPN has been for a couple decades or
fifteen years, whatever it is, and it said currently there
are one point two million people watching the New Heights

(13:38):
podcast live. For those of you who don't know, the
New Heights podcast, which is the number one sports podcast
in the world, is run by the Kelsey brothers, Jason
Kelce and Travis Kelce.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Every week, well, who's Travis.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Dating Taylor Swift? Taylor Swift did a live too, or
it wasn't live. It was recorded, but they aired it
live and I went home. It started at seven o'clock
and it wound up being like a two hour and
two hour and four two hour and five minute podcast

(14:15):
with Taylor Swift, and I watched the last ninety minutes
of it, and then I went back and watched the
first thirty minutes of it that I had missed, and
she announced her new album coming out, Life of a Showgirl,
coming out October third, because apparently thirteen is some special

(14:38):
number for her or something, so ten to three. I
don't get it, but whatever, because I don't follow her
closely enough to know why thirteen is a special number
for her.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
But everything was.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Orange and her album is like tangerine orange and everything else.
So anyways, as of oh gosh, I don't know, like
several hours ago, there had been was it ten million people?
Twelve million people had watched the thing so far and

(15:09):
like the first fourteen hours, and so I'm gonna see
if I can't find it real quick, just give you
an update.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Because I like And here's what I told. Here's what
I told.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Warnable Warnblee and I were talking about it, and I said,
you know, I said, the thing is.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Said. The thing is is that it's amazing to me.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
By the way, Yeah, they're at twelve million views so
far and it's a two hour podcast. But here's here's
I find her so fascinating. People who did not like
basketball found Michael Jordan fascinating. He was the most popular
person in the world all through the nineties. The most

(15:54):
famous person in the world all through the nineties for
more than a more than a decade actually going into
the eighties was Michael Jordan. People who didn't like basketball
knew who he was. It's the same thing with Tayler
Swift and all the sports guys get up.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Said all I can't believe they're coustly showing her like
to get over it. Of course they are. Of course
they are. It's the most.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Famous person in the entire world.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Of course they're showing her.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
And she happens to be dating maybe the greatest tight
end of all time.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
So there you go.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Of course they're showing. And he's on a winning team.
He's spending the Super Bowl what five times, he's won,
three loss two.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
So I watched it. But here's what I told Wearable.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I said, Katie Perry, who has about as much brain
activity as an apple, I said, or I said, people
like Beyonce, who you have no idea if she can
talk because she's not allowed to talk because of jay Z.
All these people, all these female singers, not exactly Rhodes scholars.

(17:04):
Taylor Swift started making songs when she was sixteen. Let
me tell you something. That woman is crazy smart. And
I did not anticipate that. I you know, because she
gives so few interviews, you don't know how smart she is.
But from a business sense, an English in a language sense,

(17:27):
just the way she talks, she's clearly the smart one
in that relationship. I mean, Travis, like, God bless him,
but he's just a dumb jock.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Like he truly is. She's extremely smart.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
And that caught me off guard last night, and I
was truly impressed by that. So yeah, I watched the
two hour podcast with Jason Kelsey, Travis Kelsey, and Taylor
Swift announcing her new album last night.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
That's right, I manned up and said it.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
That's right. I watched it. I watched all two hours,
and I might go home and watch it again tonight.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
I'm trying to decide if I'm actually gonna watch Happy
Gilmore too for a second time.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Welcome back and Brad Jensen on this Thursday night might
be raining in parts where you are, It's raining pretty
hard earlier today. All right, let's get into a couple
of other things. So I want to take a look
at the North Carolina or the Senate race for North Carolina,
and specifically obviously you know Wantley and.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Cooper and.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
I talked about this right when it happened. If you remember,
the Democrats made this big to do. Roy Cooper has
set a record by raising three million dollars in the
first twenty four hours since he announced his run for Senate,

(19:16):
with ninety percent of that being one hundred dollars or less. Now,
what's the significance of saying that ninety percent of it
was one hundred dollars or less in donations? It means
think about how many people would have to add donate
for it to be three million people or three million dollars.

(19:36):
You see what I'm saying. So instead of one person
donating three million dollars, right, you might have three hundred
thousand people donating ten dollars or thirty thousand people donating
one hundred dollars and makes it sound like it's big, widespread.
Oh my gosh, ninety percent was donated one hundred dollars
or less. And the thought on that, my own personal

(19:59):
thought is that is, while in terms of I guess
technically that would be okay or accurate, they didn't say
where the money came from. That's number one, right, But okay,
let's say all three million came from North Calina, and
we know that didn't happen. Here's my belief in what

(20:22):
happened the three million dollars one hundred dollars or less donations. Okay,
here's what I think happened. Let's say Lonnie's in charge
of the North Carolina Democrat Party and I donate to

(20:44):
the North Carolina Democrat Party or just the Democrat Party
in general, doesn't even have to be the North calind
Democrat Party, could just be the Democrat Party up in DC.
Lonnie's in charge, So I donate to the Democrat Party
five dollars.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Isaac announces that he's running for office, So what does
Lonnie do with the seventy five dollars. No one's donating
directly to Roy Cooper. There's again, there's no way on
God's green Earth he raised three million dollars of people
donating directly to him.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Did not happen, did not happen.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
But what did probably happen is I donate the seventy
five dollars to the Democrat Party, which Alani oversees. Lonnie
then takes that seventy five dollars along with two point
five million dollars and gives it to Isaac. So technically
my donation was less than one hundred dollars, right because

(21:49):
I donated seventy five to Lonnie's charity or Lonnie's group.
But Lonnie then gave it to Isaac, So Isaac can
sit there and go, hey, the donation was less than
one hundred dollars. That tells you how many people donated
to my party. No, no, no, no, No one's giving money
to Roy Cooper. Melbow toast milk, toast a rice cake,
the most boring thing on the planet. I mean, seriously,

(22:12):
I'm not even trying to be mean, but I've been
saying that ever since I've been covering politics here at WBT,
since twenty eighteen. Maybe singularly, Maybe singularly the worst uh
personality of any politician I have ever covered. Let me
tell you something like Tijuana Brown, maybe a felon, but

(22:37):
she ain't boring. She ain't boring talk Percari. He's never
seen a camera he didn't like, but he ain't boring.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Roy Cooper.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Looks like he's in a perpetual state of just waking up.
That's what his face always looks like, like he just
woke up. We've all heard of RBF. He Roy Cooper
has just woke up face like seriously, I mean, he

(23:12):
truly always looks like he just woke up. Joshtein's got
a personality, the governor, Vye, Lyles, mayor Charlotte.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
They do great Roy Cooper.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
If you want cure for insomnia, pull up his old
press conferences during COVID where he was speaking to the
state five six, seven days of a week. That'll put
you to sleep, if it doesn't infuriate you. For all
the bs and stuff that he was coming up with.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
We're following the science and the data.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Food trucks helped breweries cut down on COVID. Food trucks,
food trunk so breweries. Okay, all right, So that's how
I believe with all my heart and soul. Roy Cooper
got his three million dollars with ninety percent coming from

(24:17):
less than one hundred dollars donations I donated to Lonnie.
Lonnie then in turn gives gives to give Lonnie's charity
or organization seventy five dollars. Lonnie's organization then in turn
gives it to Isac who's running for Senate. And then
Isaac can say, oh, Brett's donation was less than one
hundred dollars. Yeah, but no one donated it to you.
Everyone donated it straight too, straight, too a mediary because

(24:43):
no one's giving money straight to you, nobody, let's be honest.
So we'll see, we'll see how that goes. I'm I'm
telling you it's just but I mean, I know it's
gonna come as a surprised to you, especially with all

(25:03):
the FBI stuff coming out about Adam Schiff and Kmy
and the Clinton's, the new ones that came out ye
about the Clinton meetings and twenty six like all kinds
of stuff Clinton meetings in twenty sixteen, all kinds of
stuff coming out right, tons of about the Clinton Foundation.

(25:24):
All there's all that speculation that they used the money
from the Clinton Foundation to pay for Chelsea's Chelsea Clinton's
like extravagant wedding, and how the Clinton Foundation went belly
up right when she lost the election raised what over
I'm guessing, but probably from what I remember, I know

(25:45):
seventy million, fifty million dollars to rebuild Haiti after the earthquake,
and I think they built ten houses.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
It's good work if you can get it.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Oh by the way, don't forget Chelsea's got a wedding
at some high end swanky Martha's vineyard or someplace anyways.
So yeah, yeah, so again, just you just had to
consider the source where it's all coming from.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Just consider the source.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
Why where'd you dry loud.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
All the ways sound to be sny my Dynasty.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Welcome back to Breaking with Brett Jensen. Seven four five
seven zero eleven ten. That is the telephone number, and
that is the WBT text line driven by Liberty Buick
g mc. Okay, I want to talk to Isaac a minute,

(27:03):
because you guys know when Isaac first got chickens, I know,
three four months ago, and you build a chicken coop
and they weren't laying eggs, and he was all like
it was a little concerned. And I was asking Isaac
a million questions about raising chickens and getting eggs because
I knew absolutely nothing about it. So Isaac's got two chickens,

(27:29):
how many do you can have, Isaac?

Speaker 7 (27:31):
Seven?

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Seven?

Speaker 2 (27:32):
So you got two of the seven that are popping
out eggs left and right?

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Correct? Three? Oh, you got three chickens?

Speaker 7 (27:38):
Yeah, I have three of the Rhode Island reds, you know,
the only ones laying so far.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
So Isaac the other day brought me eighteen eggs.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah, eighteen eggs. They're all brown eggs.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
And he said, don't put them in the refrigerator because
once you put them the refrigerator, you have to eat
them quick because these are not like specially like nothing's
been done to the eggs. They've just been naturally outside
and they'll last would you say, like three weeks or
something like that?

Speaker 7 (28:04):
Yeah, okay, once you wash them for refrigerate them is
like three weeks.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, So I haven't like they're just sitting on the counter.
So the question is, and I'm curious about by the way,
I ate four more last night. So I've eaten eight eggs,
eight of the sixteen in two days.

Speaker 7 (28:22):
Pretty good, Yeah, I mean they're they're good for dinner
last night too.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
As a matter of fact, last night I made while
watching Taylor Swift. Last night, I made uh for the
first time ever, Juavos Ranchero's, you know, the sauce. I
didn't put all the special stuff in it, like a
like Adobe and like none of that. I just did salsa,

(28:48):
really really good salcea and eggs.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
That's all I did with it.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
And then I actually on the side, I made some
Mexican rice on the side.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
So that's what I ate for dinner last sent when
I got home.

Speaker 7 (28:58):
Sounds pretty good.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
It was actually pretty good.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Was actually pretty good, And I should have added more salsa,
to be honest with you. But anyways, so now I
got eight of the sixteen left. How many eggs do
you currently have in your possession?

Speaker 3 (29:12):
If you had to guess.

Speaker 7 (29:14):
If I had to guess after today, I got six
last night. I probably have. I have at least four
more when I get home.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
But how many total?

Speaker 7 (29:23):
I got had six last night, believe it.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
So you've only got ten eggs in your possession.

Speaker 7 (29:27):
Yeah, yeah, I bet I'm pretty much giving them away
as fast as I can right now.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
So how many eggs are you from the three from
the three hens? How many are you giving? How many
eggs are they producing a week?

Speaker 3 (29:36):
On it?

Speaker 7 (29:37):
You wouldn't believe it, man, I wouldn't believe it. It's
uh so I gave you eighteen eggs, yep, and I
collected what did I give this to you? Monday? Uh?

Speaker 3 (29:45):
What's today?

Speaker 2 (29:45):
No?

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Tuesday? Tuesday?

Speaker 7 (29:47):
Yeah, I had, I got rid of all my eggs
that past Friday and then so I had eighteen eggs
and three days.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
So you're probably getting what maybe fifty eggs a week?

Speaker 7 (30:01):
Close to it?

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Close to it?

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, I mean if you got eighteen in three days,
and then you're getting more, so thirty six. So we
have forty five forty forty five eggs and that's just
out of the three chickens.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
What are you gonna do when the other four start
popping them out?

Speaker 7 (30:14):
I'll have everything set up by then and I'm gonna
start selling them. Okay, Yeah, you can buy a dozen
eggs for three bucks around you know, around three bucks
at the grocery stores. I'm gona sell them for two fifty.
There you go make some money back and they're fresh
the investment. Oh yeah, they're good. Like I said, I
had some last night. You had some.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
I've eaten Like I said, I mean, I'm still here.
I haven't died, so we're good. I haven't know Samonilla.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
There you go.

Speaker 7 (30:38):
Brett hasn't died yet by my eggs.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
That's right. Well you no, seven al, I'm that's what's
going on here. You know.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Well, like I said, because I know, we talked to
you at length, or I talked to you at length
about this when you first got the chickens, and there
were little chicks at the time, weren't they or were
they chick Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Chicks right March, yeah, April.

Speaker 7 (30:59):
I got them in a b and they were eight
weeks old when I got them. Yeah, and uh, pretty
much fully grown now laying eggs and Rhode Island reds. Uh,
there's uh supposed to lay somewhere around like two hundred
and fifty a year. This is all Google and UH
people used to have chickens have told me all this information,

(31:20):
so if it's wrong, don't blame me.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
But that's seven and fifty eggs just from those three
roosters or three three chickens?

Speaker 3 (31:27):
Yep, and you got four more? How many? What are
the other?

Speaker 7 (31:31):
I have one rooster? Okay, uh, he's a batam. He's
the one with the feather feathers around his feet. And
then I have two rock firds and one wine dot.
Why do you have the rooster because a friend offered
it to me for free, so I took it. And
if I ever want to hatch chickens hatch chicks in
the future, they'll have a free rooster to do that with.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Okay, yeah, all right? Do you have to do anything
different with the rooster? Do you have to keep them
away from the hens? Not right now?

Speaker 7 (31:57):
He's still young. As long as he doesn't get too aggressive,
it should be fun.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Okay, but you're gonna have to build a secret separate
pen for him, possibly because we could have to, but
hopefully I won't have to do that.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
All right, So how many of these? Those? Those other three?

Speaker 2 (32:12):
So minus the rooster, so you've got three, you've got
six chicken totals the.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Three six hands. Yeah, they haven't started laying eggs.

Speaker 7 (32:19):
Yet, three have three.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Haven't so how yeah? So how many eggs will they are?
How many eggs per year?

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Are those three supposed to be doing both?

Speaker 7 (32:29):
The Rockford's they're supposed to lay two hundred and ninety
I believe, and then the wand dot it's back to
like two point fifty.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
So now you said you told me the other day.
So the red Roade Island reds, those are brown eggs. Yeah,
those will be white eggs.

Speaker 7 (32:44):
Correct?

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Correct? Okay, why do you know why they're brown eggs?

Speaker 7 (32:49):
No idea, no idea.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
I just didn't know.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
And I've seen eggs that are speckled and whatever, but
it doesn't change anything on the inside.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
They're all the same on the inside, right.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
I do know that because I I googled that probably
two years ago, what's the difference between brown eggs and
white eggs? And AI came back said, nothing, you jackass?

Speaker 7 (33:06):
Okay, Chat GPT had some bugs.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Worry about it.

Speaker 7 (33:10):
It was Chat was a little judgy, get a little
sketchy over there.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Chat GPT said, whoever said there was no such thing
as stupid questions was wrong? All right, thanks Chat, thanks Chat,
appreciate it all right, Well, I appreciate the eggs.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Like I said, I've already plowed through eight of the
sixteen in two days. So I appreciate the eggs.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
I really do appreciate it because I always have eggs
in my refrigerator like I ate them a lot.

Speaker 7 (33:34):
Yeah, well, I have too many. I don't know what
to do with all of them.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
And what I'll keep doing is I'll just keep bringing
back the empty curteins.

Speaker 7 (33:41):
Please do please bring me all you got.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
That's what I'll be doing.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
So all right, everyone that's going to do it for
us tonight again thanks to Sarah Chakra who spoke with
us earlier, and also thanked to thanks to Isaac and
his hens for giving me eighteen eggs.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
Really appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
All right, look forward to doing this all over again tomorrow.
