Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everybody, good morning. Oh I'm so loud. It's eleven
o six. Hi, I'm glad you're here today.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
This is self evaluations are very very important. I said,
self evaluations are very important.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Listen, We're glad you're here. How are you today? Thanks
for joining us this morning on air? On YouTube? Are
we streaming Kylin? Because I'm looking at the camera.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
We sure are, look at my join us YouTube.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Terry Lynn, did you get the shot in the eye?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I didn't take the needle system all the things. In fact,
this is just a coincidence that we would say that.
But when it looks you look at the scary, the
scariest things that hoosiers what they're most afraid of. Needles. Yeah,
during this spooky month, needles number one.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Especially near your eyes.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Snakes, not bats, not ko.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You know, we cants. But when I hear people get
shots in their eye or in their eyelid, that's an awe.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I know people that do it and they have to
and they just say, they say, the worst part of
it is the stuff that they put in your eye
to numb your eye that burns, burns, burns, burns, burns.
But then but then you don't feel the needle.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So you're I thought you were doing Johnny Cash.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Hey everybody, it's October twelfth, and that means that I
hope you're having a great weekend. Some of you have
a three day weekend. Of course, tomorrow is Columbus Day
or Indigenous People's Day. I'm confused about it, because you know,
we go back and forth on it. I googled it.
I said which day is it, and they said it's both.
So tomorrow is both Columbus Day and Indigenous People's Day.
(01:42):
And some of you have a lot of days off.
As you're heard in the news. Mark Sanchez now in jail,
out of the hospital and in jail waiting for the
next steps. Our four and one colts are at home
today against the two and three.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Uh the poor Cardinals. Cardinals, they had such a bad
loss last week. Please, Colts, do not play down to
their level today.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No, but there's I noticed this morning coming in. I
believe the team is parked or in the Conrad because
there were many buses there, and and then you had
a lot of Cardinals fans that were waiting with their
pieces of paper and things to be signed.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But wait a minute, why would they take buses. Wouldn't
they fly into Indianapolis?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
They flew, But I think they take buses into Lucas
Oil Stadium and they take the Mint, a pretty fancy busplace.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
The ones that we saw, oh Conrad.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Very fancy, nice way to travel from here to there.
But I would imagine they flew in. But anyway, so
that's going to be happening. I saw a stack. This
a statistic this week that Colts fans spend an average
of two point three hours a week talking about their
their team, which means two hundred and ninety nine days
(02:56):
of NonStop team talk.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Whoa in a year.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
We're not even number one, but it's maybe. Is it?
Like the Roman Empire.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Sucked one time and I'm not following for that day?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Man?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Apparently think about the Roman Roman.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And I believed you, you sweet little Tarry and Stacy
and I believe.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
We took calls. I called my husband and he said, yeah,
I think about it, and.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Then Denny proved it to us the segment later when
he started talking about the Roman Empire.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay, this is going well, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Kylin had something she found over the week about some
sort of super sign, right, some sort of superstition things.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Well, it's rigged right, I mean have script writers and everything, right, Yeah,
you're right. Last year they had to mix it up
a little bit because people were on them, especially with
how they designed these.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They become aware.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Are you a conspiracy theorist?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I will Some of the evidence points to well, this
year apparently someone looked up on Google about the Super
Bowl and the Google search pulled up the teams who
were going to be playing on February eighth. Guess you
watch teams this?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I mean this, Wow, get out of here.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Uh huh. It had the results in everything.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It was the.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Colton Buccaneers, the Colts
and Colton Bucks Super Bowl and what was the score?
Thirty eight to thirty four with our Colts winning.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
That's what it said.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
That's what AI?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Is that? AI? Kind of I don't doing that.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I don't know who's doing that.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
But that's what she searched, and that's what I'll have
to see in a couple of months. I think it's remarkable.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
On the Home and Garden Show yesterday and he asked
me what I thought, and I said, I think that
we have better coaching and their players are better in Oregon.
But I said, I think we're going to win, and
by golly, I nailed it. How you won?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You won?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
They did?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Did you hear after the game how they were celebrating.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Let's hear it.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
They were loving it. Apparently the storms of the field too,
even though they were this was a road gase.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I don't know what they're saying.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I'm hearing Urt Signetti.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Oh, well, that is a mouthful, so probably you know
I mean that is it's a mouthful.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'm betting that Signette calls it Columbus Day. You know
he's a good Italian.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well, yeah, I'll tell you. Scott Johnston, who knows everything
here in our building. He works for the fan our
sister station, and he was telling me that he was
showing me the statistics of what i U was before
Kurt Signetti came here two years ago, and how it
is completely turned around, completely turned around. He is a
(05:41):
broken all kinds.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Of He's a heck of a chess player, and he
knows how to use the portal. A lot of the
coaches do not know how to use this interchange portal
that is available to all the players. Now Signette's got
it figured out, kind.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Of changed everything with this portal, all right, And did
you hear this yesterday? And I think this is the coolest,
coolest thing that the Savannah Bananas yesterday they released her Thursday,
I guess released their their coming upcoming season, which was
like seventy two stadiums. I mean, it was just amazing.
And they also announced that they were going to add
two new teams to the league and one of them
(06:17):
is going to be the Indianapolis Clime Clowns.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Is that great?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And I love that so very very much.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So what does that mean that they're going to play
The Clowns are going to play in different.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, they will be one of the right they will
be one of the teams that travels around. And it
looks like the full schedule, including their Indianapolis home games
at Victory Field. They've got two of them May fifteenth
and sixteenth. The rest of the schedule will be released
later on. But you can already get your tickets. But
you got to go to a lot It's a lottery system.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Terry. There is nobody better at kicking up an interview
than you. And when we had the founders of the
Savannah Bananas last year on the show that was It's incredible.
I mean then we.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Talked to Oh my gosh, I heard of their name
and I'm so sorry. She feels like it's last. Anyway,
she and her husband are the ones that really run
this thing and own this thing, and such a great
story backstory about how it happened. But it is a
lottery system that will be nuts and you only have
until October thirty first, so go to the Savannah Bananas
(07:16):
dot com and get your name in that lottery.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
We talked with Emily Cole Emi.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Thank you Emily Cole. I thought coal was part of it,
but I wasn't sure. She was awesome. We'll get her
back to show even how it has grown even in
the last couple of years since we talked to her.
All right, well, this is first day and we're glad
that you're here. Heartland Film Festival continues. A lot happening
today and more, but coming up we are going to
(07:40):
talk about is it the Food Championships.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
The World Food Championship.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
It is the World Food Championships. Culinary Crossroads very instrumental
in bringing them here over the starting last year, and
what the goals are for the future. We wouldn't it
be great if we could keep them here forever. It's
really a cool story and we will do that next
right here on the first day. Glad you're here ninety
three WIBC. Well, the World Food Championships are back in
(08:05):
India October sixteenth through the nineteenth at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
And joining us now is Larry Dickerson. Larry is the
founder and director of Culinary Crossroads Culinarycrossroads dot com. Hello Larry,
how are you?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I'm doing great, Terry? How are you today? I hope
you're doing well with this great ball day here in Indiana.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Culinary Crossroads is growing Indiana's culinary scene. Tell us about
this organization.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Sure Sure a culinary Crossroads the people, products, places and
services that define Indiana's culinary landscape and make it the
place where people want to live, work and play. That's
the overarching narrative that's associated with Culinary Crossroads in that
I have the opportunity when I came back here. I
(08:52):
was born and raised in Indiana, grew up at a
small town outside of Anderson, and so when it came back,
all these different experiences that I had around the country
taught me a lot about what still worked in tourism
promotion and what I thought would be a different way
to do it. And so working with the Lieutenant Governor,
(09:12):
I said, what if we go out there and tell
this story about our people, products and places that are
associated with culinary and use that as an incentive for
people to think about extending their stay if they come
into one of our conventions, or actually taking a look
at where they might want to live because they've got
a lot of flexibility. And she liked the idea. And
(09:33):
when I went to meet with her the first time,
it was do you like this idea? She says, yes,
the low hanging fruit, if you will, if people would
go to our restaurant to buyer protein and produces. The
more strategic aspect of it that the Lieutenant Governor pointed
out was this would be a great way for workforce
recruitment and workforce retention. So that's what was the emphasis
(09:54):
for starting Culinary cross Roads.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Larry, I have lived here in Indiana all my life
and see the growth of food choices and the diversity.
There's something now, I think for everybody.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
And that's similar whether you are in Fort Wayne, New Albany,
Evansville or up Any Goshen. That same dynamic was there.
And you just reminded me of like I would come
back in Fort Indiana, as I said, growing up here,
and every time that I would come come through, I
would see that, No, Indianapolis is really growing up. And
(10:26):
I had lived in some major metropolitan areas around the
around the country, and I thought, we really have a
lot to offer. And through that time when I would
come in, I also had a chance to meet some
of the women and men that were sort of defining
that culinary community here in Indianapolis. And you know, one
idea that would be, Okay, we can go do these
(10:48):
pop up dinners in other areas Saint Louis, Detroit, Grand Rapids,
et cetera, and then reciprocate and all that's great, But
the challenge was, what's you know? How do you keep watering?
How do you keep talking about it right? And that
was what drove us and drove me to come up
with this narrative of culinary crossroads.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well, culinary crossroads plays an important role in landing the
World Food Championships. This is our second year to host.
I wonder if that was an easy decision for the
World Food Championships to say, Okay, let's go to Indianapolis.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
When we had this narrative in place and we were
going to put the campaign out, you got to figure
out once you come out, what's going to be the
foundation point. And the same folks that were telling me
about the culinary scene, specifically guys like Craig Baker and
Cindy Hawkins and tearront Comings. Craig had been going from
the beginning to this thing called the World Food Championships.
(11:43):
I said, what is that? And at that time it
was taking place in Orange Beach, Alabama. So I went
down there with Craig and learned about it in twenty
seventeen and twenty and eighteen. And then when I brought
the idea of the narrative and the campaign the initiative
Culinary Crossroads said well, what if what if we were
to go out and promote the participants from Indiana, the
(12:06):
Team Indiana folks. Now twenty and nineteen, it had moved
from Orangeach, Alabama, and it was in the first year
of a three year contract in Dallas, Texas. And so
I went to the Lieutenant Governor and said, I think
we're ready to go, said, we're going to do an
activation and we're going to promote and support our team
Indiana folks, and we're going to go down there and
(12:27):
have a presence, and we're going to take our Calida
Crossroads Ambassadors and go start to tell that story about
Colin Air Crushwood. And so we went. We raised the money,
got a lot of help from visit Indy Lieutenant Governor's
office Ivy Tech Community College, and the Lieutenant Governor said, well,
can I go with you? And I said, well, sure
you can go. The other thing that we learned at
that time was after they get the champions and they'll
(12:49):
do this again here in October, they'll crown ten category
champions and then those champions reconvene for what they call
the Final Table. And they had not made a decision
as to war the final what's going to be in
two thousand and twenty. It's five years ago now, and
so we go down We're at the activation walking the
World Food Championships in Dallas, Texas, and the Lieutenant Governor says,
(13:12):
why isn't this in Indianapolis. I said, Lieutenant Governor should
be And we literally from that point on This is
in November of two thousand and twenty. That's when we
started just working on getting it to be here. Ultimately,
we were able to give them a value proposition that
was compelling enough to bring it here in twenty twenty
(13:35):
four and excited to have it back. And our goal,
quite frankly, is that we don't want it to leave.
And from now on we can tell people we're not
only the Culinary Crossroads, but we're the Food sports capital
of America.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Coming up the World Food Championships October sixteenth through the
nineteenth joining us now as Larry Dickerson. He's the founder
and director of Culinary Crossroads, instrumental in bringing the World
Food Championship to Indianapolis and the importance of getting the
national visibility too.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Oh. Absolutely, Again going back to an ongoing narrative that
we're sort of redefining the state of Indiana and using
culinary and imagine that when we think about culinary, that
you plant this flower bed that goes across the state
that is our restaurants and our protein producers and our farmers' markets,
and you see all of this and when you think
(14:24):
about what is an interest in terms of lifestyle for folks.
You can show them that you have as that as
a foundation point, then you can start having additional important
discussions about what we have in terms of our wonderful
cities around the state. Any city you go to again
for listeners around the state, then you look around and say,
wait a minute, within fifteen to twenty miles, this is
(14:45):
a phenomenal state. So the idea is that you lead
with culinary because whenever you're going to think of a
new idea or build a relationship, what do you do?
You find a place say why don't we sit down
and have breakfast or why don't we have dinner with
each other? So it's built around that context. And if
you have the World Food Championships where you bring in
thirteen to fifteen hundred home coaks, professional chefs, professional barbecue
(15:10):
teams from forty some states and from fifteen or twenty
different countries, the most important part about that is that
think of those influencers that they leave from here and
they go back to their respective areas around the country
and around the world, and they start telling this story
about Indiana built around culinary.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Larry, let's talk about Team Indiana. The chefs that were
selected to represent us at the World Food Championships. This
year's team tell us about their uniqueness or how they
will represent Indiana's food scene.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Well, one, we have the reigning world champion in Colin
Hilton from rg so he'll be there defending his title.
That's one of those things where that was such a
blessing that not only did we have them here last year,
but Colin went on to win the World Championship. We
have a lot of veterans that have been back there,
they know and they can teach others. Baker, Cindy Hawkins,
(16:01):
tur oncoming. We have folks from different parts of the state.
Marcus Staniel from up in the northeast side. So we
have this diverse group of women and men that represent
different communities that are there, and all of them have
their particular sort of approach to it because there's a
strategy that goes along with this. They use this methodology
(16:22):
because you have to execute what you said you're going
to do. You have to have an appearance there that
is compelling, and then obviously it has to taste good.
You look at competitors from around the country and around
the world. You have to know that you have to
hit on all three of those cylinders in order for
you to have success. And the good news is that
because of that team that we have that was I
(16:42):
think ten to twelve Indiana participants, we probably have close
to twenty various contestants that will be there from Indiana.
This is our culinary version of the Pacers or the Fevers.
You know, once you get in there and you see it,
you get this excitement about all the things that goes
into this competition, including having cheferies.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Larry Dickerson is here, the founder of Culinary Crossroads. Larry,
what's maybe one story or a moment from the past
events that stick with you and remind you why this
work that you do is so important, why it matters.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Some of your fans want to go out there and
see sort of like the next generation of chefs. And
they have the Junior Chef competition, which is actually sponsored
by our Port Council and also the Ivy Tech Culinary School.
And I think one of the things that I found
so exciting, and you see the excitements in the eyes
of those kids that are competing, and I know my
(17:37):
son is a trained chef himself, and you see that
they have that passion and that passion that you see
in those kids, I think is something that I took
away last year to say that's a future competitor that's there.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Well, Larry, we're going to let you go. Larry Dickerson.
He is the founder and director of Culinary Crossroads Culinarycrossroads
dot org and again the World the Food Championships taking
place here in Indy October sixteenth through the nineteenth. To
get your tickets and get them right now, go to
Worldfood Championships dot com. Larry, thanks so much for your
(18:10):
time today.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
It's gonna be great.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Eleven thirty News is next ninety three WIBC. Hey, welcome
back to the first day. It is a beautiful Sunday
and we're glad you're here with us as we get
set for the Colts game. Terry Stacy along with Denny
Smith and Kylon Tally producing today's show. I just want
to touch on a couple things you need to be
watching for this week. Northeaster. The worst conditions are starting
(18:34):
to really unfold today and we're talking about Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia coasts. Those are going to rise with this northeaster.
And I'm mentioning this because if you're going to be
traveling this week, it's at least in the next I
don't know, forty eight hours or so. I don't know,
but it really could become an air travel nightmare for
major hubs like Washington, d C in New York City
(18:54):
and Boston with these strong wins. So just to be
aware of that if you're traveling this week. Also a
big change coming for a lot of people who use
Windows computers. Microsoft is ending support for its Windows ten system.
I know many of you are aware of that, but
if you're not, I don't know why you wouldn't be,
But there are ways for you to do this on
(19:15):
your own. Denny, are you aware of this? I think, Kylin,
you know what. I don't really even know what this means.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I gave up on Windows long ago. I'm a Mac guy.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Okay, So if you have Windows ten, or if you
don't know you have Windows ten, you go to the
settings option on your PC and you can look at
which update you have, and then you can look if
you are able and eligible to update, and if you're not,
then all that means you're still going to be able
to use your PC. It just means that you're not
going to be getting security updates, so you might be
(19:44):
a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I guess, just yeah, having bugs. I understand that there
are maintenance programs now that you can give for twenty
five bucks a month or whatever two hundred and fifty
bucks a year that they will help support you. But
they're no longer doing it for free.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Okay, OK, that's.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
All, so you can still use your PC. No, it
just ends you're not getting any updates after thank.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
You to that day. You know, we have to turn
to I have to turn to the younger generation to
help me through a lot of things when it comes
to technical and I'm okay with it because my hope
is that I teach, I teach a little bit too
in some sort of way that we can work together.
And I love her. I love this little kyl and
she helps me through everything.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I hope that this isn't going to be a change
where Windows ten PCs. This is just not getting any
of the free updates. But I hope that it doesn't
mean they're going to start charging for updates in the future,
with maybe.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Some additional I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I hope not again. It includes security updates, bug.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Fixes, when my phone's update, they put in this code
that always uses up more battery power and that really
gripes me. And there are guys now that have learned
to hack that so that you if you charge your
phone with this one particular thing, it actually reprograms the
battery function charging mechanism. But it's it's really add sometimes
(21:00):
what these people do to.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Us, Denny tell us about is it cloaked.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Well, cloaked, Oh, this is.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Something Denny discovered when I don't know, is that Halloween.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Costume speaking which our dear one is going to be
at the Zubu again. So hey, no, it's this app
application and I just saw it, and so I explored
it and it said Cloaked will help remove you from
the dark web and remove you from broker lists and
all this type of stuff. So I thought this is hogwash,
you know, So I put in my phone number. All
(21:30):
I did was put in my phone number. Cloaked came
back and identified every phone number that I have had
since I was a child. At Arthur the Newbie School
when I was six years old. There there was two
seven two four, one seven, five three nine, which was
my first phone number, then listed all the other numbers,
and I'm going, I didn't even remember these, and I thought,
(21:51):
how the hell did they do that?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
That's it?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And then they showed they showed every address that I've
ever lived at, they showed where I went to college,
they showed everything, and I'm going and this sucks. How
much do I charge? How much do you charge me?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
It is about spooky seasons?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
So I signed Jane and me both up and it
was one hundred and thirty dollars for the two of us,
and I started it two days ago. They've already removed
me from five hundred and fifty nine sites and I
haven't had a single Blooney call or a single Blooney
email since. Is that cool?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
It's cool? How much did it cost.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
For Jane and me? It was one hundred and thirty bucks?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Okay? And how long will that last?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
A year?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
One year? Yeah, it happens. After that, I would pay
it again just.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
To get off these lists. Do you get all these
these I didn't know any calls on your phone?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, And and then I just block it, and I
usually would get a call maybe a couple days later.
Say just keep blocking them. But what you're saying is
where the number I think is what.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Five hundred and Yeah, there were twelve phone numbers and
some of them are an old facts line from the
plumbing company. I'm going, how do you know this?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It's ridiculous that when we sign up for new things
that it is a requirement for us to go and
say you're not allowed to sellar information. Yeah, I'm not
allowed to do that now.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Of all of all the information I put in, I
did not put in my social Security number, but they
say that they can even find more if I use
my social Security number. I wasn't going to do that.
I wasn't going to do that, and I've gotten made
at lockdown and everything. Five and fifty nine, lady.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Very scary world we're in. It really is when it
comes to where our information is and how it's there,
and you kind of just get to a point where
you're like you just accept it. You're like, well, you know,
what are you going to do about it? But Cloak
is the name.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Of that lak ed and I found it on Apple
and I'm sure it's probably on the other platforms too. Okay,
it's the real deal.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Good deal. Do you want to mention Kylin? Yes, Kylin
Zubu continues today. If you're looking for something to do,
Kylin is out there. She is the wisp witch.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Witch of the Wind at the Leebard Manor. It's a
magical house.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And what colors your wig, because that's how people identify it?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Right?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yellow? You can miss it. And the cloak that I
wear with all the feathers on it, with all the parrots.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Yeah I said you were a parrot.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yes, it is fun. It starts at two pm and
it's a great time for all the kids. On fall break.
We've had a ton of kids coming through.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
And we'll continue. Fall break still continues, I think for
another week.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
The school school take them all at the same time.
It's sort of neat. Yeah, a Westfield caramel, all of them.
They just keep rotating through zions, bills, all different.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It is eighteen days, twelve hours and seventeen minutes from Halloween.
Do you guys have your Halloween costumes? When did you
stop no dressing up?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
We stopped dressing up? Probably? Yeah? It probably really was
high school. Sometimes I would dress up to pass out candy. Oh,
but I haven't done it. If you remember, our Halloweens
haven't been so good over the last few years, they've
been cold or rainy, or snowy, or just they haven't
been great days.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I dropped up dressed up as a cowboy and a
pumpkin two years ago.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yes, Oh that's fun.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I like training.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Trunk or treat has become the thing to do. Kids
can start or trunk or treating. I believe we'll start
this weekend at different churches and leading up to Halloween.
Halloween that season of actually getting the candy. The kids
can get so much candy with trunk re treats and
everything that's added in your own neighborhoods.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Did you ever soap windows, throw corn or stick horn? No?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I didn't. I really did not come from a small town.
You know, people will know it.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I can't from a small town. Here, we knew how
to stick horns and run stick horns. You take a
slat and they always had a horn ring, so you'd
get underneath it and you do it down. And then
they almost left their cars unlock, you know, so you'd
lock the door on them. So it had to keep
punk until they got their keys.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Oh you know, you get shot doing this. I know
now you just can't do this kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I didn't say it was smart.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I said I did it. It was such a fun time.
But not anymore.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
You find a SnO, don't do it about a different
fun time. Okay, this isn't trunk or treating, but how
about trail and treat with Indie Cultural Trail. It's happening
next Saturday. You can get many canal boat rides. I'm
going to go just for that. There's gonna be kids, music,
balloon animals, and then of course candy five to seven
next Saturday.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Cool the County Parks is doing that at Cool Creek Park.
They have the Haunted Trail and there's there's stations like
that and it's fun. Kids like it.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
It's fun. And you know what else is fun. And
it started this week and it will continue on through
the next weekend and that is the Covered Bridge Festival.
And I know that the leaves aren't as beautiful as
we hope them will be, and that's going to be
closer to November, but there the Covered Bridge Festival is
really something you should do if you are a Hoosier.
And we've got beautiful days ahead the week. If you
(26:27):
get a minute, you have a day off this week
going midweek is always good, but it is really fun.
It really is fun. I don't know what it is
about our covered bridges that we are so, you know,
we got to see them and treasure them, but we
do and I love them.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
There.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
You become kind of a fan of them once you
start seeing. I think we have thirty one of them
are so in Park County thirty one covered bridges.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
There's one at Shade State Park that my great great
great Grandpa Westfall built and my brother has the toolbox
that he used and Tommy's got the location. He's to
track it down and find it.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Are you telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I'm telling the truth. I really am. He was a
bridge builder and he had this great big toolbox and
Tommy took it. But it's got all these tools that
he used to build bridges. It's really neat Terry.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Well, whenever you're doing this week again, you've got stories
still continue to happen this week and you can hear
them those and talked about all through the week with WIBC.
The government shutdown will continue, redistricting.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
The hostages are coming, hostages coming home.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
So a lot to follow this week and you can
do that right here with WIBC. Next on WIBC. Denny Paul,
You've got Denny's Dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
And Cents, five dollars and cents, the midlife money traps
and the Great Dollar Diet. I've got two subjects that
I sort of blend together. But the money traps for
all of us as we grow older are there.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, they're there also. Next hour, before we get a break,
you should know, we're going to be talking to the
president of Wheeler Mission who sat on a park bench
for twenty four hours and he had some important conversations
that he's going to share with us. That'll be at twelve.
And then we've also got details on the Midwest's largest
one day conference for women and it's coming to Indianapolis
this month. We're going to take a break. Thanks for
(28:08):
being here with us. On first day ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
We're going to be tracking two words this week that
are a little bit scarier than a surprise colonoscopy. It's
called money traps. Oh, money traps. Don't you know what
money traps are?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Pothole?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Well sort of. And then I want to talk about
something that I read from my buddy Craig Hempken. But
the first one is the spending trap. You finally start
making good money and then all of a sudden, poof
it disappears. You get a raise and you think, finally
I can do this, this, this and this, and next
thing you know you've done something stupid. Those are called creeps,
you know where they creep up on you, But they
(28:48):
really are if you just be patient. If you take
the money that you get in a raise and put
it in a savings account and then decide what you
want to do, it's a little bit easier. Then the
same thing happens with investing traps. Investing traps, you think
you've cracked the code, you found, you get lucky with
one stock purchase, and then you think that you're you're
a genius, and then you end up buying cryptocurrencies at
(29:09):
the top.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
It's gambling.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
It is it is, you know. I think the stock
market is like that, and people will always tell you
their winners, they'll never tell you their loser. And if
your portfolio looks like one stock on a prayer, it's
time to diversify. I'll just say that the other one
is the inflation trap, and that's where I want to
bring in Craig Hemke it's also known as the Great
Dollar Diet. You've recently heard that gold's been going up, ladies.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yes, it really is something else.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Gold is not going up. Gold is staying the same.
What's happening is the dollar and all the all the
currencies are failing, and so it takes more of them
to buy one ounce of real stuff gold.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I would want to buy What would if you said,
if I said, didn't you know what? I do want
to buy some I want to buy gold. I want
to invest in gold. What would you say to me?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I'd say, how do you what?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
What would I do? What would I by? How much?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Was?
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I would say stick with There's a lot of different
ways to invest in gold. I would stay stick with
a coin and start slow, and maybe start with silver first,
because silver is much more affordable. Silver's around fifty dollars
an ounce. Gold's around four thousand dollars an ounce. So
if you think of two coins one ounce each, this
one's four thousand dollars and this one's fifty. Swallowing hard
(30:21):
to get a four thousand dollars coin is pretty tough.
But I would say start with silver. I think that
silver has so many industrial uses as well. As that's
what the US dollar used to be backed by. So
this great dollar diet, inflation is like termites, you know,
it eats a little bit, eats a little bit, eats
a little bit. And it's been shown that just at
two percent inflation, which is what the Federal Reserve things
(30:43):
they're shooting for, after thirty years, you've lost over half
your money or you're spending power. So when we say
that gold's four thousand dollars an ounce, it wasn't ten
years ago. It was one thousand dollars an ounce. Five
years ago it was two thousand dollars an ounce. Now
it's a four thousand. So gold didn't get stronger. What
happened is our currency got weaker. So why is the
dollar shrinking? Well, central banks have been hoarding all the gold.
(31:05):
You say, who's buying all the gold? Central banks? Because
it is. Ever since we've there's a lot of rules
about what banks can hold is tier one assets. And
now that banks can hold gold and get full value
for it on their balance sheet, whereas before they couldn't.
You know, the Fed's not stopping to print money, and
(31:26):
in twenty twenty six they've already said that they're going
to chase that yield curve again, so they could add
two trillion dollars just a year from now. So physical
gold and silver supplies are running thin because of the
central banks. But the point is is that this inflation
trap the dollars shrinking, So that's a trap for us.
But here's another one, the credit card trap, you know
(31:47):
you think about. It's the biggest budget vampire I ever
ran across as a financial planner. People use the credit
cards because they think it's a good idea to you know,
don't confuse it like.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
You don't have the money. Now I did it, I
did it, and did it and didn't did it. You
can have the money, can do it, and then we
can make payments on it. Tone there's a difference whatever, there's.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
A difference between an emergency fund and emergency fund. An
emergency emergency fund says it's been a tough week, it's
time for Margarita's on Friday night. That's emergency fund. Emergency
fund is when we set aside money for those disasters,
like when the transmission goes out and you don't want
to have to borrow money for that one more. And
(32:30):
it's the comparison trap. And this is where our egos
get in the way. The comparison trap is, Oh, Bonnie
and John, they just got a new car, David, how
come we can't get a new car? Okay, it's the
comparison trap. You're keeping up with the Joneses and keep
it right. Have you ever heard it keeping up with
the Joneses. Well, don't get into that nonsense. Be who
you are, Be as humble as you can be. And
(32:51):
remember there are no suitcases in the progression to the
funeral home and to the cemetery. You can't take that
stuff with you.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
It's that's true.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
That's true. So save when you can invest smartly. Don't
fear the market, and you know, the fear of the
silent erosion of inflation. And for heaven's sake, stop measuring
success by the driveway square footage and what's setting in it?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
That's Denny Smith, dollars and cents love it. Thank you, Denny.
Paul Kayo, are you going to stick around for another hour?
Well sure, stay with us, you too, everybody, thank you
for joining us here on the first day ninety three WYBC,
The news is next.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
How was that for a midlife monetary session huh.
Hey, everybody, good morning. Oh I'm so loud. It's eleven
o six. Hi, I'm glad you're here today.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
This is self evaluations are very very important. I said,
self evaluations are very important.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Listen, We're glad you're here. How are you today? Thanks
for joining us this morning on air? On YouTube? Are
we streaming Kylin? Because I'm looking at the camera.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
We sure are, look at my join us YouTube.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Terry Lynn, did you get the shot in the eye?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I didn't take the needle system all the things. In fact,
this is just a coincidence that we would say that.
But when it looks you look at the scary, the
scariest things that hoosiers what they're most afraid of. Needles. Yeah,
during this spooky month, needles number one.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Especially near your eyes.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Snakes, not bats, not ko.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You know, we cants. But when I hear people get
shots in their eye or in their eyelid, that's an awe.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I know people that do it and they have to
and they just say, they say, the worst part of
it is the stuff that they put in your eye
to numb your eye that burns, burns, burns, burns, burns.
But then but then you don't feel the needle.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So you're I thought you were doing Johnny Cash.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Hey everybody, it's October twelfth, and that means that I
hope you're having a great weekend. Some of you have
a three day weekend. Of course, tomorrow is Columbus Day
or Indigenous People's Day. I'm confused about it, because you know,
we go back and forth on it. I googled it.
I said which day is it, and they said it's both.
So tomorrow is both Columbus Day and Indigenous People's Day.
(01:42):
And some of you have a lot of days off.
As you're heard in the news. Mark Sanchez now in jail,
out of the hospital and in jail waiting for the
next steps. Our four and one colts are at home
today against the two and three.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Uh the poor Cardinals. Cardinals, they had such a bad
loss last week. Please, Colts, do not play down to
their level today.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No, but there's I noticed this morning coming in. I
believe the team is parked or in the Conrad because
there were many buses there, and and then you had
a lot of Cardinals fans that were waiting with their
pieces of paper and things to be signed.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But wait a minute, why would they take buses. Wouldn't
they fly into Indianapolis?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
They flew, But I think they take buses into Lucas
Oil Stadium and they take the Mint, a pretty fancy busplace.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
The ones that we saw, oh Conrad.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Very fancy, nice way to travel from here to there.
But I would imagine they flew in. But anyway, so
that's going to be happening. I saw a stack. This
a statistic this week that Colts fans spend an average
of two point three hours a week talking about their
their team, which means two hundred and ninety nine days
(02:56):
of NonStop team talk.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Whoa in a year.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
We're not even number one, but it's maybe. Is it?
Like the Roman Empire.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Sucked one time and I'm not following for that day?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Man?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Apparently think about the Roman Roman.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And I believed you, you sweet little Tarry and Stacy
and I believe.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
We took calls. I called my husband and he said, yeah,
I think about it, and.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Then Denny proved it to us the segment later when
he started talking about the Roman Empire.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay, this is going well, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Kylin had something she found over the week about some
sort of super sign, right, some sort of superstition things.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Well, it's rigged right, I mean have script writers and everything, right, Yeah,
you're right. Last year they had to mix it up
a little bit because people were on them, especially with
how they designed these.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They become aware.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Are you a conspiracy theorist?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I will Some of the evidence points to well, this
year apparently someone looked up on Google about the Super
Bowl and the Google search pulled up the teams who
were going to be playing on February eighth. Guess you
watch teams this?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I mean this, Wow, get out of here.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Uh huh. It had the results in everything.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It was the.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Colton Buccaneers, the Colts
and Colton Bucks Super Bowl and what was the score?
Thirty eight to thirty four with our Colts winning.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
That's what it said.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
That's what AI?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Is that? AI? Kind of I don't doing that.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I don't know who's doing that.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
But that's what she searched, and that's what I'll have
to see in a couple of months. I think it's remarkable.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
On the Home and Garden Show yesterday and he asked
me what I thought, and I said, I think that
we have better coaching and their players are better in Oregon.
But I said, I think we're going to win, and
by golly, I nailed it. How you won?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You won?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
They did?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Did you hear after the game how they were celebrating.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Let's hear it.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
They were loving it. Apparently the storms of the field too,
even though they were this was a road gase.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I don't know what they're saying.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I'm hearing Urt Signetti.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Oh, well, that is a mouthful, so probably you know
I mean that is it's a mouthful.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'm betting that Signette calls it Columbus Day. You know
he's a good Italian.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well, yeah, I'll tell you. Scott Johnston, who knows everything
here in our building. He works for the fan our
sister station, and he was telling me that he was
showing me the statistics of what i U was before
Kurt Signetti came here two years ago, and how it
is completely turned around, completely turned around. He is a
(05:41):
broken all kinds.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Of He's a heck of a chess player, and he
knows how to use the portal. A lot of the
coaches do not know how to use this interchange portal
that is available to all the players. Now Signette's got
it figured out, kind.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Of changed everything with this portal, all right, And did
you hear this yesterday? And I think this is the coolest,
coolest thing that the Savannah Bananas yesterday they released her Thursday,
I guess released their their coming upcoming season, which was
like seventy two stadiums. I mean, it was just amazing.
And they also announced that they were going to add
two new teams to the league and one of them
(06:17):
is going to be the Indianapolis Clime Clowns.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Is that great?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And I love that so very very much.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So what does that mean that they're going to play
The Clowns are going to play in different.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, they will be one of the right they will
be one of the teams that travels around. And it
looks like the full schedule, including their Indianapolis home games
at Victory Field. They've got two of them May fifteenth
and sixteenth. The rest of the schedule will be released
later on. But you can already get your tickets. But
you got to go to a lot It's a lottery system.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Terry. There is nobody better at kicking up an interview
than you. And when we had the founders of the
Savannah Bananas last year on the show that was It's incredible.
I mean then we.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Talked to Oh my gosh, I heard of their name
and I'm so sorry. She feels like it's last. Anyway,
she and her husband are the ones that really run
this thing and own this thing, and such a great
story backstory about how it happened. But it is a
lottery system that will be nuts and you only have
until October thirty first, so go to the Savannah Bananas
(07:16):
dot com and get your name in that lottery.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
We talked with Emily Cole Emi.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Thank you Emily Cole. I thought coal was part of it,
but I wasn't sure. She was awesome. We'll get her
back to show even how it has grown even in
the last couple of years since we talked to her.
All right, well, this is first day and we're glad
that you're here. Heartland Film Festival continues. A lot happening
today and more, but coming up we are going to
(07:40):
talk about is it the Food Championships.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
The World Food Championship.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
It is the World Food Championships. Culinary Crossroads very instrumental
in bringing them here over the starting last year, and
what the goals are for the future. We wouldn't it
be great if we could keep them here forever. It's
really a cool story and we will do that next
right here on the first day. Glad you're here ninety
three WIBC. Well, the World Food Championships are back in
(08:05):
India October sixteenth through the nineteenth at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
And joining us now is Larry Dickerson. Larry is the
founder and director of Culinary Crossroads Culinarycrossroads dot com. Hello Larry,
how are you?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I'm doing great, Terry? How are you today? I hope
you're doing well with this great ball day here in Indiana.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Culinary Crossroads is growing Indiana's culinary scene. Tell us about
this organization.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Sure Sure a culinary Crossroads the people, products, places and
services that define Indiana's culinary landscape and make it the
place where people want to live, work and play. That's
the overarching narrative that's associated with Culinary Crossroads in that
I have the opportunity when I came back here. I
(08:52):
was born and raised in Indiana, grew up at a
small town outside of Anderson, and so when it came back,
all these different experiences that I had around the country
taught me a lot about what still worked in tourism
promotion and what I thought would be a different way
to do it. And so working with the Lieutenant Governor,
(09:12):
I said, what if we go out there and tell
this story about our people, products and places that are
associated with culinary and use that as an incentive for
people to think about extending their stay if they come
into one of our conventions, or actually taking a look
at where they might want to live because they've got
a lot of flexibility. And she liked the idea. And
(09:33):
when I went to meet with her the first time,
it was do you like this idea? She says, yes,
the low hanging fruit, if you will, if people would
go to our restaurant to buyer protein and produces. The
more strategic aspect of it that the Lieutenant Governor pointed
out was this would be a great way for workforce
recruitment and workforce retention. So that's what was the emphasis
(09:54):
for starting Culinary cross Roads.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Larry, I have lived here in Indiana all my life
and see the growth of food choices and the diversity.
There's something now, I think for everybody.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
And that's similar whether you are in Fort Wayne, New Albany,
Evansville or up Any Goshen. That same dynamic was there.
And you just reminded me of like I would come
back in Fort Indiana, as I said, growing up here,
and every time that I would come come through, I
would see that, No, Indianapolis is really growing up. And
(10:26):
I had lived in some major metropolitan areas around the
around the country, and I thought, we really have a
lot to offer. And through that time when I would
come in, I also had a chance to meet some
of the women and men that were sort of defining
that culinary community here in Indianapolis. And you know, one
idea that would be, Okay, we can go do these
(10:48):
pop up dinners in other areas Saint Louis, Detroit, Grand Rapids,
et cetera, and then reciprocate and all that's great, But
the challenge was, what's you know? How do you keep watering?
How do you keep talking about it right? And that
was what drove us and drove me to come up
with this narrative of culinary crossroads.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well, culinary crossroads plays an important role in landing the
World Food Championships. This is our second year to host.
I wonder if that was an easy decision for the
World Food Championships to say, Okay, let's go to Indianapolis.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
When we had this narrative in place and we were
going to put the campaign out, you got to figure
out once you come out, what's going to be the
foundation point. And the same folks that were telling me
about the culinary scene, specifically guys like Craig Baker and
Cindy Hawkins and tearront Comings. Craig had been going from
the beginning to this thing called the World Food Championships.
(11:43):
I said, what is that? And at that time it
was taking place in Orange Beach, Alabama. So I went
down there with Craig and learned about it in twenty
seventeen and twenty and eighteen. And then when I brought
the idea of the narrative and the campaign the initiative
Culinary Crossroads said well, what if what if we were
to go out and promote the participants from Indiana, the
(12:06):
Team Indiana folks. Now twenty and nineteen, it had moved
from Orangeach, Alabama, and it was in the first year
of a three year contract in Dallas, Texas. And so
I went to the Lieutenant Governor and said, I think
we're ready to go, said, we're going to do an
activation and we're going to promote and support our team
Indiana folks, and we're going to go down there and
(12:27):
have a presence, and we're going to take our Calida
Crossroads Ambassadors and go start to tell that story about
Colin Air Crushwood. And so we went. We raised the money,
got a lot of help from visit Indy Lieutenant Governor's
office Ivy Tech Community College, and the Lieutenant Governor said, well,
can I go with you? And I said, well, sure
you can go. The other thing that we learned at
that time was after they get the champions and they'll
(12:49):
do this again here in October, they'll crown ten category
champions and then those champions reconvene for what they call
the Final Table. And they had not made a decision
as to war the final what's going to be in
two thousand and twenty. It's five years ago now, and
so we go down We're at the activation walking the
World Food Championships in Dallas, Texas, and the Lieutenant Governor says,
(13:12):
why isn't this in Indianapolis. I said, Lieutenant Governor should
be And we literally from that point on This is
in November of two thousand and twenty. That's when we
started just working on getting it to be here. Ultimately,
we were able to give them a value proposition that
was compelling enough to bring it here in twenty twenty
(13:35):
four and excited to have it back. And our goal,
quite frankly, is that we don't want it to leave.
And from now on we can tell people we're not
only the Culinary Crossroads, but we're the Food sports capital
of America.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Coming up the World Food Championships October sixteenth through the
nineteenth joining us now as Larry Dickerson. He's the founder
and director of Culinary Crossroads, instrumental in bringing the World
Food Championship to Indianapolis and the importance of getting the
national visibility too.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Oh. Absolutely, Again going back to an ongoing narrative that
we're sort of redefining the state of Indiana and using
culinary and imagine that when we think about culinary, that
you plant this flower bed that goes across the state
that is our restaurants and our protein producers and our farmers' markets,
and you see all of this and when you think
(14:24):
about what is an interest in terms of lifestyle for folks.
You can show them that you have as that as
a foundation point, then you can start having additional important
discussions about what we have in terms of our wonderful
cities around the state. Any city you go to again
for listeners around the state, then you look around and say,
wait a minute, within fifteen to twenty miles, this is
(14:45):
a phenomenal state. So the idea is that you lead
with culinary because whenever you're going to think of a
new idea or build a relationship, what do you do?
You find a place say why don't we sit down
and have breakfast or why don't we have dinner with
each other? So it's built around that context. And if
you have the World Food Championships where you bring in
thirteen to fifteen hundred home coaks, professional chefs, professional barbecue
(15:10):
teams from forty some states and from fifteen or twenty
different countries, the most important part about that is that
think of those influencers that they leave from here and
they go back to their respective areas around the country
and around the world, and they start telling this story
about Indiana built around culinary.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Larry, let's talk about Team Indiana. The chefs that were
selected to represent us at the World Food Championships. This
year's team tell us about their uniqueness or how they
will represent Indiana's food scene.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Well, one, we have the reigning world champion in Colin
Hilton from rg so he'll be there defending his title.
That's one of those things where that was such a
blessing that not only did we have them here last year,
but Colin went on to win the World Championship. We
have a lot of veterans that have been back there,
they know and they can teach others. Baker, Cindy Hawkins,
(16:01):
tur oncoming. We have folks from different parts of the state.
Marcus Staniel from up in the northeast side. So we
have this diverse group of women and men that represent
different communities that are there, and all of them have
their particular sort of approach to it because there's a
strategy that goes along with this. They use this methodology
(16:22):
because you have to execute what you said you're going
to do. You have to have an appearance there that
is compelling, and then obviously it has to taste good.
You look at competitors from around the country and around
the world. You have to know that you have to
hit on all three of those cylinders in order for
you to have success. And the good news is that
because of that team that we have that was I
(16:42):
think ten to twelve Indiana participants, we probably have close
to twenty various contestants that will be there from Indiana.
This is our culinary version of the Pacers or the Fevers.
You know, once you get in there and you see it,
you get this excitement about all the things that goes
into this competition, including having cheferies.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Larry Dickerson is here, the founder of Culinary Crossroads. Larry,
what's maybe one story or a moment from the past
events that stick with you and remind you why this
work that you do is so important, why it matters.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Some of your fans want to go out there and
see sort of like the next generation of chefs. And
they have the Junior Chef competition, which is actually sponsored
by our Port Council and also the Ivy Tech Culinary School.
And I think one of the things that I found
so exciting, and you see the excitements in the eyes
of those kids that are competing, and I know my
(17:37):
son is a trained chef himself, and you see that
they have that passion and that passion that you see
in those kids, I think is something that I took
away last year to say that's a future competitor that's there.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Well, Larry, we're going to let you go. Larry Dickerson.
He is the founder and director of Culinary Crossroads Culinarycrossroads
dot org and again the World the Food Championships taking
place here in Indy October sixteenth through the nineteenth. To
get your tickets and get them right now, go to
Worldfood Championships dot com. Larry, thanks so much for your
(18:10):
time today.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
It's gonna be great.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Eleven thirty News is next ninety three WIBC. Hey, welcome
back to the first day. It is a beautiful Sunday
and we're glad you're here with us as we get
set for the Colts game. Terry Stacy along with Denny
Smith and Kylon Tally producing today's show. I just want
to touch on a couple things you need to be
watching for this week. Northeaster. The worst conditions are starting
(18:34):
to really unfold today and we're talking about Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia coasts. Those are going to rise with this northeaster.
And I'm mentioning this because if you're going to be
traveling this week, it's at least in the next I
don't know, forty eight hours or so. I don't know,
but it really could become an air travel nightmare for
major hubs like Washington, d C in New York City
(18:54):
and Boston with these strong wins. So just to be
aware of that if you're traveling this week. Also a
big change coming for a lot of people who use
Windows computers. Microsoft is ending support for its Windows ten system.
I know many of you are aware of that, but
if you're not, I don't know why you wouldn't be,
But there are ways for you to do this on
(19:15):
your own. Denny, are you aware of this? I think, Kylin,
you know what. I don't really even know what this means.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I gave up on Windows long ago. I'm a Mac guy.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Okay, So if you have Windows ten, or if you
don't know you have Windows ten, you go to the
settings option on your PC and you can look at
which update you have, and then you can look if
you are able and eligible to update, and if you're not,
then all that means you're still going to be able
to use your PC. It just means that you're not
going to be getting security updates, so you might be
(19:44):
a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I guess, just yeah, having bugs. I understand that there
are maintenance programs now that you can give for twenty
five bucks a month or whatever two hundred and fifty
bucks a year that they will help support you. But
they're no longer doing it for free.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Okay, OK, that's.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
All, so you can still use your PC. No, it
just ends you're not getting any updates after thank.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
You to that day. You know, we have to turn
to I have to turn to the younger generation to
help me through a lot of things when it comes
to technical and I'm okay with it because my hope
is that I teach, I teach a little bit too
in some sort of way that we can work together.
And I love her. I love this little kyl and
she helps me through everything.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I hope that this isn't going to be a change
where Windows ten PCs. This is just not getting any
of the free updates. But I hope that it doesn't
mean they're going to start charging for updates in the future,
with maybe.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Some additional I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I hope not again. It includes security updates, bug.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Fixes, when my phone's update, they put in this code
that always uses up more battery power and that really
gripes me. And there are guys now that have learned
to hack that so that you if you charge your
phone with this one particular thing, it actually reprograms the
battery function charging mechanism. But it's it's really add sometimes
(21:00):
what these people do to.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Us, Denny tell us about is it cloaked.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Well, cloaked, Oh, this is.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Something Denny discovered when I don't know, is that Halloween.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Costume speaking which our dear one is going to be
at the Zubu again. So hey, no, it's this app
application and I just saw it, and so I explored
it and it said Cloaked will help remove you from
the dark web and remove you from broker lists and
all this type of stuff. So I thought this is hogwash,
you know, So I put in my phone number. All
(21:30):
I did was put in my phone number. Cloaked came
back and identified every phone number that I have had
since I was a child. At Arthur the Newbie School
when I was six years old. There there was two
seven two four, one seven, five three nine, which was
my first phone number, then listed all the other numbers,
and I'm going, I didn't even remember these, and I thought,
(21:51):
how the hell did they do that?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
That's it?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And then they showed they showed every address that I've
ever lived at, they showed where I went to college,
they showed everything, and I'm going and this sucks. How
much do I charge? How much do you charge me?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
It is about spooky seasons?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
So I signed Jane and me both up and it
was one hundred and thirty dollars for the two of us,
and I started it two days ago. They've already removed
me from five hundred and fifty nine sites and I
haven't had a single Blooney call or a single Blooney
email since. Is that cool?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
It's cool? How much did it cost.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
For Jane and me? It was one hundred and thirty bucks?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Okay? And how long will that last?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
A year?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
One year? Yeah, it happens. After that, I would pay
it again just.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
To get off these lists. Do you get all these
these I didn't know any calls on your phone?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, And and then I just block it, and I
usually would get a call maybe a couple days later.
Say just keep blocking them. But what you're saying is
where the number I think is what.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Five hundred and Yeah, there were twelve phone numbers and
some of them are an old facts line from the
plumbing company. I'm going, how do you know this?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It's ridiculous that when we sign up for new things
that it is a requirement for us to go and
say you're not allowed to sellar information. Yeah, I'm not
allowed to do that now.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Of all of all the information I put in, I
did not put in my social Security number, but they
say that they can even find more if I use
my social Security number. I wasn't going to do that.
I wasn't going to do that, and I've gotten made
at lockdown and everything. Five and fifty nine, lady.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Very scary world we're in. It really is when it
comes to where our information is and how it's there,
and you kind of just get to a point where
you're like you just accept it. You're like, well, you know,
what are you going to do about it? But Cloak
is the name.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Of that lak ed and I found it on Apple
and I'm sure it's probably on the other platforms too. Okay,
it's the real deal.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Good deal. Do you want to mention Kylin? Yes, Kylin
Zubu continues today. If you're looking for something to do,
Kylin is out there. She is the wisp witch.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Witch of the Wind at the Leebard Manor. It's a
magical house.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And what colors your wig, because that's how people identify it?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Right?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yellow? You can miss it. And the cloak that I
wear with all the feathers on it, with all the parrots.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Yeah I said you were a parrot.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yes, it is fun. It starts at two pm and
it's a great time for all the kids. On fall break.
We've had a ton of kids coming through.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
And we'll continue. Fall break still continues, I think for
another week.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
The school school take them all at the same time.
It's sort of neat. Yeah, a Westfield caramel, all of them.
They just keep rotating through zions, bills, all different.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It is eighteen days, twelve hours and seventeen minutes from Halloween.
Do you guys have your Halloween costumes? When did you
stop no dressing up?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
We stopped dressing up? Probably? Yeah? It probably really was
high school. Sometimes I would dress up to pass out candy. Oh,
but I haven't done it. If you remember, our Halloweens
haven't been so good over the last few years, they've
been cold or rainy, or snowy, or just they haven't
been great days.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I dropped up dressed up as a cowboy and a
pumpkin two years ago.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yes, Oh that's fun.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I like training.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Trunk or treat has become the thing to do. Kids
can start or trunk or treating. I believe we'll start
this weekend at different churches and leading up to Halloween.
Halloween that season of actually getting the candy. The kids
can get so much candy with trunk re treats and
everything that's added in your own neighborhoods.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Did you ever soap windows, throw corn or stick horn? No?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I didn't. I really did not come from a small town.
You know, people will know it.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I can't from a small town. Here, we knew how
to stick horns and run stick horns. You take a
slat and they always had a horn ring, so you'd
get underneath it and you do it down. And then
they almost left their cars unlock, you know, so you'd
lock the door on them. So it had to keep
punk until they got their keys.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Oh you know, you get shot doing this. I know
now you just can't do this kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I didn't say it was smart.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I said I did it. It was such a fun time.
But not anymore.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
You find a SnO, don't do it about a different
fun time. Okay, this isn't trunk or treating, but how
about trail and treat with Indie Cultural Trail. It's happening
next Saturday. You can get many canal boat rides. I'm
going to go just for that. There's gonna be kids, music,
balloon animals, and then of course candy five to seven
next Saturday.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Cool the County Parks is doing that at Cool Creek Park.
They have the Haunted Trail and there's there's stations like
that and it's fun. Kids like it.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
It's fun. And you know what else is fun. And
it started this week and it will continue on through
the next weekend and that is the Covered Bridge Festival.
And I know that the leaves aren't as beautiful as
we hope them will be, and that's going to be
closer to November, but there the Covered Bridge Festival is
really something you should do if you are a Hoosier.
And we've got beautiful days ahead the week. If you
(26:27):
get a minute, you have a day off this week
going midweek is always good, but it is really fun.
It really is fun. I don't know what it is
about our covered bridges that we are so, you know,
we got to see them and treasure them, but we
do and I love them.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
There.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
You become kind of a fan of them once you
start seeing. I think we have thirty one of them
are so in Park County thirty one covered bridges.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
There's one at Shade State Park that my great great
great Grandpa Westfall built and my brother has the toolbox
that he used and Tommy's got the location. He's to
track it down and find it.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Are you telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I'm telling the truth. I really am. He was a
bridge builder and he had this great big toolbox and
Tommy took it. But it's got all these tools that
he used to build bridges. It's really neat Terry.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Well, whenever you're doing this week again, you've got stories
still continue to happen this week and you can hear
them those and talked about all through the week with WIBC.
The government shutdown will continue, redistricting.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
The hostages are coming, hostages coming home.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
So a lot to follow this week and you can
do that right here with WIBC. Next on WIBC. Denny Paul,
You've got Denny's Dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
And Cents, five dollars and cents, the midlife money traps
and the Great Dollar Diet. I've got two subjects that
I sort of blend together. But the money traps for
all of us as we grow older are there.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, they're there also. Next hour, before we get a break,
you should know, we're going to be talking to the
president of Wheeler Mission who sat on a park bench
for twenty four hours and he had some important conversations
that he's going to share with us. That'll be at twelve.
And then we've also got details on the Midwest's largest
one day conference for women and it's coming to Indianapolis
this month. We're going to take a break. Thanks for
(28:08):
being here with us. On first day ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
We're going to be tracking two words this week that
are a little bit scarier than a surprise colonoscopy. It's
called money traps. Oh, money traps. Don't you know what
money traps are?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Pothole?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Well sort of. And then I want to talk about
something that I read from my buddy Craig Hempken. But
the first one is the spending trap. You finally start
making good money and then all of a sudden, poof
it disappears. You get a raise and you think, finally
I can do this, this, this and this, and next
thing you know you've done something stupid. Those are called creeps,
you know where they creep up on you, But they
(28:48):
really are if you just be patient. If you take
the money that you get in a raise and put
it in a savings account and then decide what you
want to do, it's a little bit easier. Then the
same thing happens with investing traps. Investing traps, you think
you've cracked the code, you found, you get lucky with
one stock purchase, and then you think that you're you're
a genius, and then you end up buying cryptocurrencies at
(29:09):
the top.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
It's gambling.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
It is it is, you know. I think the stock
market is like that, and people will always tell you
their winners, they'll never tell you their loser. And if
your portfolio looks like one stock on a prayer, it's
time to diversify. I'll just say that the other one
is the inflation trap, and that's where I want to
bring in Craig Hemke it's also known as the Great
Dollar Diet. You've recently heard that gold's been going up, ladies.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yes, it really is something else.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Gold is not going up. Gold is staying the same.
What's happening is the dollar and all the all the
currencies are failing, and so it takes more of them
to buy one ounce of real stuff gold.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I would want to buy What would if you said,
if I said, didn't you know what? I do want
to buy some I want to buy gold. I want
to invest in gold. What would you say to me?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I'd say, how do you what?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
What would I do? What would I by? How much?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Was?
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I would say stick with There's a lot of different
ways to invest in gold. I would stay stick with
a coin and start slow, and maybe start with silver first,
because silver is much more affordable. Silver's around fifty dollars
an ounce. Gold's around four thousand dollars an ounce. So
if you think of two coins one ounce each, this
one's four thousand dollars and this one's fifty. Swallowing hard
(30:21):
to get a four thousand dollars coin is pretty tough.
But I would say start with silver. I think that
silver has so many industrial uses as well. As that's
what the US dollar used to be backed by. So
this great dollar diet, inflation is like termites, you know,
it eats a little bit, eats a little bit, eats
a little bit. And it's been shown that just at
two percent inflation, which is what the Federal Reserve things
(30:43):
they're shooting for, after thirty years, you've lost over half
your money or you're spending power. So when we say
that gold's four thousand dollars an ounce, it wasn't ten
years ago. It was one thousand dollars an ounce. Five
years ago it was two thousand dollars an ounce. Now
it's a four thousand. So gold didn't get stronger. What
happened is our currency got weaker. So why is the
dollar shrinking? Well, central banks have been hoarding all the gold.
(31:05):
You say, who's buying all the gold? Central banks? Because
it is. Ever since we've there's a lot of rules
about what banks can hold is tier one assets. And
now that banks can hold gold and get full value
for it on their balance sheet, whereas before they couldn't.
You know, the Fed's not stopping to print money, and
(31:26):
in twenty twenty six they've already said that they're going
to chase that yield curve again, so they could add
two trillion dollars just a year from now. So physical
gold and silver supplies are running thin because of the
central banks. But the point is is that this inflation
trap the dollars shrinking, So that's a trap for us.
But here's another one, the credit card trap, you know
(31:47):
you think about. It's the biggest budget vampire I ever
ran across as a financial planner. People use the credit
cards because they think it's a good idea to you know,
don't confuse it like.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
You don't have the money. Now I did it, I
did it, and did it and didn't did it. You
can have the money, can do it, and then we
can make payments on it. Tone there's a difference whatever, there's.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
A difference between an emergency fund and emergency fund. An
emergency emergency fund says it's been a tough week, it's
time for Margarita's on Friday night. That's emergency fund. Emergency
fund is when we set aside money for those disasters,
like when the transmission goes out and you don't want
to have to borrow money for that one more. And
(32:30):
it's the comparison trap. And this is where our egos
get in the way. The comparison trap is, Oh, Bonnie
and John, they just got a new car, David, how
come we can't get a new car? Okay, it's the
comparison trap. You're keeping up with the Joneses and keep
it right. Have you ever heard it keeping up with
the Joneses. Well, don't get into that nonsense. Be who
you are, Be as humble as you can be. And
(32:51):
remember there are no suitcases in the progression to the
funeral home and to the cemetery. You can't take that
stuff with you.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
It's that's true.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
That's true. So save when you can invest smartly. Don't
fear the market, and you know, the fear of the
silent erosion of inflation. And for heaven's sake, stop measuring
success by the driveway square footage and what's setting in it?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
That's Denny Smith, dollars and cents love it. Thank you, Denny.
Paul Kayo, are you going to stick around for another hour?
Well sure, stay with us, you too, everybody, thank you
for joining us here on the first day ninety three WYBC,
The news is next.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
How was that for a midlife monetary session huh.
