Speaker 1 (04:45):
We are celebrating US Bowling League Day.

Speaker 7 (04:53):
There are a lot of them, a.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Lot of them. I guess the one of the bowling
alleys changed hands here. I think the bowl Land bowl Land, Yes,
under new ownership. Is it bowl or bowl Land? Could
there be two l's, you would think.

Speaker 7 (05:12):
Yeah. I drove by it the other day and I
was thinking about that looking at the sign.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
It's also National Welsh Rarebit Day.

Speaker 7 (05:22):
Welsh rabbit rare bit rare But I said rare bit.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
It's a cheesy toast. It sounds tasty there. That sounds
originally called rabbit in a tongue in cheek way in
the Welsh language because there's no rabbit. Sounded like no rabbit.
It's similar to mock turtle soup having no turtle in it.
Welsh Rarebit does not contain rabbit. Instead, the dishes made
with toast that has hot cheese poured over it. I

(05:47):
like it already. Yeah. Over time the dish became known
as Welsh rarebit nod to the inside joke. Very nice,
there you go. Swiss cheese is really what you want
to use?

Speaker 7 (05:57):
Yeah, that melts, That melts well.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
And some little bit of cayenne, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire or paprika. Okay,
top it. Top the cheese with a post poached egg
and the dish becomes a golden buck. Add bacon and
some call the meal a Yorkshire buck. Okay, that's that's

(06:20):
what we're celebrating today. So go put some cheese on toast.
Yeah right, that's really all you're doing.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
So, what's going on in the world?

Speaker 7 (06:29):
I love it? A New York Post twenty hours ago,
but viral video shows mysterious objects being tossed from the
White House window. So Pasovic said they found an intern
leaking to CNN.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
I know, Pacivic. But then.

Speaker 7 (06:44):
Deucey, oh Doucy, Yes, Deucy had the best.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
Well.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Deucey actually showed it to President Trump. President Trump says,
it's ai. It's fake. Those those windows are all well sealed,
they don't open.

Speaker 7 (06:58):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I love it. And that's now the
new meme that everybody's using.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, it's a great template.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
Yeah. Even the White House page on X used it
when they announced and showed the video of well what
was it that blew up that boat? Missile?

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yes, yeah, and well yeah, missile and it was coming. Uh.
I don't know was that coming from a helicopter? I
would assume I don't know.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
But anyway, a great, good job, keep it up. So
that's the meme is.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
And now you've got all the lefties out there going
that it was poor.

Speaker 7 (07:38):
They just blow up a boat. They don't even know.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
It's what are you doing?

Speaker 7 (07:43):
I have I have the quote right here. Oh yeah.
Kenneth Roth tweeted, drug trafficking is a crime, not an
act of war.

Speaker 9 (07:53):
Traffickers must be arrested, not not executed.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
No executed us for this is just illegal. He did, No,
they didn't.

Speaker 7 (08:03):
Yeah, so that democrats. So the Democrats are saying, leave
the drug traffic.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yes, let's just let's just jumping back evil immediately, yeah,
immediately every time.

Speaker 7 (08:15):
Hey, it's almost as bad as you know. Now the
Democrats that you're seeing them do. I've seen the picture
have the protect trans Kids shirt with the picture of
the shooter's face on the shirt too.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Well, well, at least you got a target. Now, the
uh to the cartels though, these cartels have literally uh
the weapons you have like a small arm, they're they're
well bigger than a small arm And if they're telling
Mexico what to do, they're bigger than a small army.

Speaker 8 (08:53):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
And the thing is, you've got more than just Mexicans
in these Mexican drug cards. Tells you've got a lot
of international mercenaries, including some probably some American veterans also
working for these cartels.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
Pretty good.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
These cartels are so used to because, let's face it,
I've set it for quite a while, the war on
drugs was did nothing but corrupt federal, local, and state
law enforcement officials into taking bribes for allowing these drugs
to come over the DEA. Had they had a nice

(09:32):
little gig worked out to it. You give us a
couple of show, you know, we'll take a couple of
these nail nail, a couple of these drug shipments for show.
To make it look like we're doing something right, and
you guys keep the flow of drugs coming in through
the porous open border, right.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
Well, now, then the war on drugs that the US
helped fund the drugs.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yes exactly. Yeah, So then Trump shuts down the border
so they can't get through that way anymore. They can't
use the tunnel because they found most of those tunnels
now and they've sealed those up. And so now they're
going old school again using the fast boats. Well, we're taking.

Speaker 7 (10:09):
Them out, not anymore.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
The amount of drugs that they're sending in is an
active war when you look at the number of people
who are using drugs that otherwise would not have fentyl
in them, but they're all laced with fentanyl, correct, And
these kids and adults are dropping dead from you know,
one hit or one pill, and so that is an

(10:32):
active war, correct, Whether you want to admit it or not,
that's an active war because they're infiltrating the country with
the drugs. They're killing people with these drugs.

Speaker 7 (10:41):
Yeah, because it's not like they're trying to get people
hooked on the drugs anymore. They're just trying to kill
people with them. Because you can't tell me. They don't
know putting that amount of fentanyl in it in it
isn't going to kill them.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yes, so it's an active war. Correct, We're shutting it down.
End of story. Shut down, nuke nukem.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
Moore, yep. And make an example of them, make an example.
There were like eleven of them on that boat.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I think there were eleve yes, and now.

Speaker 7 (11:09):
They they cease to exist.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Now they're sleeping in Davy Jones locker.

Speaker 7 (11:14):
Yes, well, part parts of them.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
I'm sure we're scooped up.

Speaker 7 (11:18):
What's with Greta Thunberg here? Boy? You see that haircut?

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah? But she you know, everybody everybody was saying, why
she why does she always look so angry? And in
those pictures I'm seeing, I'm seriously she's she's looking constipated,
not angry. I would suggest, you know, a laxative.

Speaker 7 (11:38):
There has been another, maybe a little more fun, another
photo that's been circulating.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Oh she get a boob job.

Speaker 7 (11:44):
I don't know. But you see the comment that Thomas
Soul we can't read that one on the radio. Go
look on X you'll see it. It's trending.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
Be fooled.

Speaker 7 (12:01):
They're meant to hypnotize an enslave yard.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, and and again idiocy. Well, from what I understand, initially,
the boat got turned back on their first day out
due to bad weather, inclement weather, bad sea stage back.

Speaker 7 (12:18):
When she did her little boat right, she did another one.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
She's doing another one.

Speaker 7 (12:21):
That's why.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
That's why, that's why, that's why you're seeing her little
ugly Dutch boy haircut and that there's just stupid face.

Speaker 7 (12:28):
I think I sent you the meme that said find Greta,
and it was he man and Greta and my reply
I think so it was.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
My My reply on that was actually it's.

Speaker 7 (12:40):
Not my phone, folks.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
That's uh, it looks like James Earl Jones from Conan.

Speaker 7 (12:48):
Oh that's right, Yes, I did see that. Yeah, that
was hilarious. Oh man, yeah, pretty bad.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Wow. Yeah, just I don't know. On a brighter note,
you know, we do like to give credit where credit
is due, and a little bit of credit must be
given to Muriel Baba bab Boo Bowser, Washington, d C. Mayor.
She's issued an executive order directing local law enforcement to

(13:14):
work with federal officials indefinitely day because too many people
who not the white depends whearing. Karen's correct, that go
there to protest about the National Guard being in DC.
But the actual people who live in the crime ridden
areas of DC who are posting video after video thanking

(13:38):
Trump for sending the National Guard in there, because finally,
after this one girl put it up there there's places
and she named the area. I forget what it is,
but it always lined with homeless trash on either side.
People would take ubers just not to have to walk
through that area because are so dangerous. And in one month,

(14:02):
the trash is gone, the homeless is gone.

Speaker 7 (14:04):
It just shows it isn't that hard to clean it up.
They just don't want to.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, liberals deliberately let their cities run rancid.

Speaker 7 (14:15):
Somebody in DC posted a picture of four National guardsmen
with their ars, you know, kit it out, just standing
there and said troops hanging out in the DC metro
area today displaying assault rifles doing absolutely nothing. So Homeland
Security shared it and said, quote, why do we need firefighters?
Nothing's on fire?

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah exactly. It's like, yeah, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 7 (14:37):
Yeah, you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Pull something right there with those guys in the AAR.
That's not the deterrent exactly. And if these blue city
marrors and these and Pritzker that lard ass. Oh yeah,
if they would actually just do their jobs and and
protect their constituents, Uh, there wouldn't be an issue. Trump
wouldn't be threatening to.

Speaker 7 (15:00):
In Baltimore now too, good, do it city by city.
It only takes a month each. He'll bell be perfect.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, they why is it the Democrats are now? Their
position is we love the crime. The crime isn't that
bad because Trump is against the crime. Yes, and all
they are trunk again. Well, Labor Day.

Speaker 7 (15:19):
Weekend, uh, it pointed, somebody pointed it out perfectly, Labor
Day weekend Trump is well, yeah, the fifty four shooting.
But I mean Trump was gone all weekend pretty much,
and what comes out everybody thinks he's dead.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
No, everybody's bitching because all he did was post on
truth social you'll give press conferences or nothing that's not
that's not right.

Speaker 7 (15:38):
Yeah. Well, look, you can't please these secs because you
can't please them because he lives rent free in all
of their heads and they need something that they can
talk about. And if he's not doing anything except truthing
every now and then across the four days for the
Labor Day weekend. They go insane because they have nothing
else to talk about. They have no substance, and they

(15:59):
are lose, fake news.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
No policies that work, nothing that's going to benefit their
people at all.

Speaker 7 (16:05):
But this is the media and the politicians.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
It's the same thing.

Speaker 7 (16:08):
Yeah, I know exactly.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
But Dan Perkins and I were talking about that yesterday,
and I suggest it started with Bush with w during
the six election, when the left realized, well, we can't
be in favor of the war anymore, right, you know,
so we got to go against Trump on all this
or Bush on all this and it was Bush arrangement
system syndrome, and it just metastasized into Trump and they

(16:35):
just keep getting more and more psycho. I don't see
a good end for them in this. I see them
getting more violent, and I see us ending them and
they're violence and kind of looking forward to that.

Speaker 10 (16:48):
We'll be right back with Charlotte County Speaks on news
Radio fifteen eighty WCCF.

Speaker 8 (16:57):
Turning the tables on despair.

Speaker 11 (16:58):
It's interesting in twenty five years twenty five years ago,
three out of four Americans believe the American dream was
obtainable now it's one in four.

Speaker 8 (17:10):
How do we turn the tables on that?

Speaker 11 (17:12):
Well, I happened to be in Italy right now and
I went to the Vatican to perform pilgrimage. Did the
doors something that was very very important to me. And
it was just a truly a wonderful, absolutely moving experience
to see people come from all over the globe and

(17:37):
different languages, different faces, smiles on people's faces.

Speaker 8 (17:41):
Absolutely truly a wonderful thing.

Speaker 11 (17:43):
You want to turn the tables on despair, stop looking
to people in politics and look somewhere else where might
that other place be?

Speaker 8 (17:52):
Well, why don't you think about it? A little bit?

Speaker 11 (17:55):

century blues breaking news, Oh my gully.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
The breaking news.

Speaker 7 (20:20):
Sidney Sweeney back in the news. Geez, Sidney Sweeney has
been seen in a new ad.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Ooh good.

Speaker 7 (20:29):
Yes, but she's pretending to be a ballerina, and so
the Internet is a glow of fire. Why because she's
somebody road correct.

Speaker 9 (20:41):
Somebody wrote, Sidney Sweeney pretending to be a ballerina in
an is so disrespectful to all the girls who have
spent their lives learning the craft, just for some basic
blonde girl to come in and pretend to be one
of them.

Speaker 7 (20:56):
Shameful.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
How dare you? How dare you? I know, how dare you?
How dare you? How dare you? And as somebody, why
why can't Sweeny be ballerina? Who's to say Sydney Sweeney
hasn't taken some ballerina classes? That's true?

Speaker 7 (21:18):
You know, say she doesn't stretch before she gets into
her parts.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know her,
you don't know my girl from Spokane. No, and you
even her alone. Somebody retweeted that and said, I know right,
Tom Cruise wasn't an actual Navy combat pilot. I know
Stallone didn't become the real heavyweight champion of the world.
And Ian McKellen didn't even learn how to do real magic.
So disrespectful, Yes, how dare they?

Speaker 7 (21:44):
And and you know the ad just I mean you
don't even want to you don't even want to look
at the ad. You don't even you don't want to
see it. You don't want to look at it, and
you don't want to look at it for more than
like half a milliseconds.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Just want a poster of it.

Speaker 7 (21:57):
Yeah, I don't know what they're selling, but I'm buying it. Oh,
but Sindy Sweeny's mid you know, you know, you know
he looks just as good.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Credit Thunberg. You know have you seen her?

Speaker 5 (22:17):
Have you seen her?

Speaker 1 (22:18):
What they just it doesn't matter what it is, man,
He's just mutants. These mutants just nothing. They can't have
any joy in their life at all. Every moment has
to be terror for them. Yes, that's too bad.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
There is an attorney named Clevenger. Apparently we're supposed to
know by UH Attorney Clevenger, Okay, Ty. Clevenger apparently fired
off a blistering letter to h A Attorney General Pam
uh Bond blondieh and UH Cash the Tell back in April,

(23:01):
accusing the FBI of flagrantly, flagrantly concealing critical records about
the late DNC staffers, seth Rich and the now discredited
Russia collusion narrative. February of twenty twenty four, Clevenger demanded
that the FBI hand over the seth Rich documents that
they continue to conceal from the public. They've got his laptop.

(23:21):
They know what's on it, and it was an inside
job in my opinion, In my opinion, what we all
think happened happened. He's the one who gave all that
stuff to wiki leagues, right, and was murdered for it.
And the FBI had a hand in it by not

(23:43):
investigating the Oh, we were hacked.

Speaker 7 (23:46):
DNC was hacked by the Russians.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Russians, and Coley just said, okay, we'll send some investigators.

Speaker 7 (23:54):
No no, no, no no no, no, no no no.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
We got our own Ukrainian team that's investigating in.

Speaker 7 (23:59):
Oh, okay, we'll we the FBI.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
We'll just back off. We won't look at it then.
But the FBI's refusal follows a pattern of obfuscation. For years,
the agency denied even possessing seth Rich's laptop, until Clevenger's
legal efforts forced the FBI to admit they had it
all along. Yet the agency still refuses to disclose any
metadata from seth Rich's electronic devices, probably because it implicates

(24:27):
them in his murder. Even more damning, Clevenger is already
uncovered proof that the FBI improperly withheld pages from the
CrowdStrike report related to the alleged DNC hack in twenty sixteen,
an event that conveniently became a political weapon against Donald Trump.
And again the Russiagate thing. You can look at that

(24:49):
all you want, but spygate is what they need to
be investigating.

Speaker 7 (24:53):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Russia Gate has absolutely is just going to be a
distraction that will lead up to absolutely nothing.

Speaker 7 (25:01):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Pull that microphone in to you close, would you, sir? So,
Folks in the studio, it's beef o Brady's, Charleye County.
Good morning, Good morning, and I understand that we've got
a new location that's actually opening up today, isn't it.

neighbors in the plaza. Really excited to bring beasts to

Speaker 7 (26:03):
So, yeah, is this busy, Sunseeker?

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Is this gonna be bigger than your Punic Gorda location.

Speaker 14 (26:10):
There is nothing bigger than the pun of Gorda location. Yeah,
that that's the monster in the whole franchise. No, this
is a smaller, little bit, more intimate, about one hundred
and forty seats, great viewing on seventy five brand new
seventy five inch TVs everywhere, really good sound system. So
it's a little bit smaller, set up perfectly for a
lot of takeout. We have a great takeout system curb

(26:32):
side things like that. So, no, not as big as
the Monster Store on Taylor Street or it's I hate
to say, Little Sister over there in Deep Deep.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah it's a good size store as well.

Speaker 14 (26:43):
Ye yeah, yeah, it's a place, beautiful outdoor patio over there,
everybody likes.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
So a little bit, a little.

Speaker 14 (26:50):
Bit smaller, little bit more intimate, little bit uh less staff,
I guess you could say, as well, So we'll be
able to do it with a few less people. But
great new hires. We've brought in people from a couple
of our favorite local places here in Penagorda that are
no longer there. We have some of the Harpoon Harry's
ladies coming by joining us at BEFO Brady's. We have
a few of your good Dean's employees that from previous

(27:12):
So we found some people, some good local people that
needed to keep going and what they do and worked
out well for us timing wise that they were available.
Like I said, we we closed the previous restaurant two
months ago. Today, July third was the last day from
my own Asian and September third is the opening day
for BEFO Brady So we turned.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
It around quick.

Speaker 14 (27:32):
Everything was fired up towards you know, getting ready for
football season, which we are. We're excited welcoming any and
all football fans to the new BFHO Brady's location. We're
not specifying any teams or clubs or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah, welcome, yes, especially in season.

Speaker 14 (27:48):
Right, We've got the other two BFO Brady's that standing
room only on Sundays, so we hope to bring a
few people maybe to this way to open.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Space for football located in between both look so now
we early just a few minutes ago, Chris Markowski was
lamenting that only one in four or now believe in
the American dream. Okay, and when you look at what
you've done, tell us, tell us about how you got

(28:17):
started with beefo brad how you got started into owning
these because it would seem to me that you're kind
of living the four.

Speaker 14 (28:24):
I guess yeah, I'm one of those four because everything
worked out really well for me. Came down from Michigan
as a career restaurant worker, got a great job in
Venice at Bogie's. Met a great guy, Marcustanzo there that
kind of took me under his wing and mentored me
a little bit. March now with Prime in Bocaalupo in
some of those places, got me started down here in Florida.

(28:47):
I moved to Port Charlotte, met the owners of the
Beefo Brady's in Puna Gorda on Taylor Street. Worked for
them for five or six years trying to get that
store going. It was a small, less than three thousand
square foot rest at the time, not very successful they were,
you know, I was going to the little leagues and
football events and schools and handing out free things and

(29:09):
just doing all the groundwork stuff to get it going.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
And I think I got my chance.

Speaker 14 (29:15):
The owners wanted to get out at that point, and
I couldn't believe the SBA gave me a loan at
that point for a small amount of money in the
grand scheme of things now what we're dealing with, but
they took a chance on me, and the community really
got right behind It almost was instant like once people
knew I owned the place, seeing me work hard for

(29:36):
somebody else, I think it all kind of clicked with
the locals. We were just getting into supporting all the
high school activities, all the local little leagues, youth education,
youth athletics. So many people in Charlotte County donate their time,
energy effort to help other people do things, whether it's
youth education or four age clubs or reaches across a Maria.

(29:56):
I mean I could go on and on and on
and on. So getting behind those things has really helped us.
But the community just supported before Brady's on Taylor Street,
as soon as we bought it, we expanded. Did the
arcade next start expanded the other way? Did five expansions
there I think in six or seven years to now
be over ten thousand square feet, sixty five banks room,

(30:20):
full arcade, you know. So it's the largest in the franchise.
It's it's a top three store in the franchise. Obviously
Deep Creek is right there as well, does just as good.
And then now we have the third one, a little
bit smaller, but very blessed to have three Charlotte County locations.
I mean that says a lot about the county supporting

(30:41):
us and the people that we serve every day. We
have tons of regulars that come in two, three, four,
seven times a week.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
You know, in some cases at different stores.

Speaker 14 (30:51):
So value community, good food, good service, great people. We
retain employees very very well. You see the same faces
a lot of times at the same stores. People love
that stuff.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
So yeah, got my chance.

Speaker 14 (31:06):
Community got behind us expand expand, expand, and that allowed
us to do Deep b Phil Brady's number two, which
in turn allows us to do number three. So the
American Dreament is live and well it is in Charlotte County.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
And for myself, how's the menu evolved since you've taken
over BFHOI Brady's that's the one thing about being a franchise.

Speaker 14 (31:28):
It's corporate, so we don't get a lot of freedom
to create new things on our own and do what
we want. Beefs has a whole team of chefs and
people whose job it is is to find the next
couple of things for the menu. We get new menus
two or three times a year with usually minor changes.
Get rid of a couple of things, add a couple things.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
What's been the biggest seller our wings?

Speaker 14 (31:49):
I mean, of course, yeah, Bfhoix Brady's Chicken Wings, fifteen
and sixteen different sauces I believe to choose from.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
We have a very deep menu, so we go all over.

Speaker 14 (31:59):
The place from wing burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, chicken tenders.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Salads, soups, wraps, you.

Speaker 14 (32:06):
Name it, kids, meals, We're gonna we're gonna be doing
brunch potentially on Saturdays once we get our feet underneath us.

Speaker 7 (32:11):
Hero Eggs too.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, absolutely great.

Speaker 9 (32:15):
People.

Speaker 14 (32:15):
Look, it's a little bit smaller place, a little bit
easier to manage, do some fun things like that.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
So we're gonna we're gonna have fun.

Speaker 14 (32:20):
There is the idea it's gonna be a good, family
friendly fun neighborhood sports pub.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, yep, awesome.

Speaker 14 (32:28):
So how many years now, man, I bought Taylor Streek
ten years ago. We're coming up on the first ten
year run. Yeah, but I worked there five or six years,
seven years before that for previous owners. But in my
ownership almost ten years.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
It's a blur. Honestly. I've went fast, man, Yeah, really
really fast.

Speaker 14 (32:48):
But excited about the next ten for all three locations,
and excited for today opening day.

Speaker 7 (32:54):
At forty three hundred King's Highway.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
There you go, we're calling it Kings Beefs.

Speaker 14 (32:58):
To break it up a little bit, we got pun
of Gorda downtown on Taylor Street, we got Deep Creek,
and now we're calling King's Beef's over here on King's Highway.
There you go, yep, like follow share. We're on Facebook
Kings Beef building up that. So that's where a lot
of information goes that we're gonna share with tons of
information to share with people.

Speaker 7 (33:15):
Soon you'll be ready to take over the whole port
Charlotte Mall.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, what's.

Speaker 7 (33:23):
Excited they're going to do?

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, where the Macy's was supposedly right, Yeah, I heard
some stuff like that as well.

Speaker 7 (33:29):
Yeah, so you need to be over there.

Speaker 8 (33:31):
You never know.

Speaker 14 (33:32):
You know, Port Charlotte is without one to a certain
extent down there. That is what we want to try
to make our way that way with this new location
right there on forty one, we want to inch our
way north, encourage some Port Charlotte people to make their
way down to Befo Brady's.

Speaker 7 (33:47):
Well, you're getting like each good residential area. You're in
Punta Gorda there and near Taylor, so you have all
the high school kids, which is great. And you know
Deep Creek is the suburban area.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Here, and you really, when you think about it, in
Deep Creek, you're like one of the only options. Yeah,
I mean you can go all the way to if
you want to keep driving, you go, but if for
a for a local in your neighborhood. That's the way.

Speaker 14 (34:13):
We love the location, you know, the old location, location location,
you know what I mean. We live right there in
Deep Creek as well, so we understand what those people did.
It's fast food everywhere, one or two sit down places.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
So we that's why we.

Speaker 14 (34:28):
Built it bigger than a little bit of a traditional beast.
That's why we standed the patio. We could only make
the parking lot a little bit bigger.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yeah, we'd have it taken care of as always. Free
to park on the grass, they're very cool with it.

Speaker 14 (34:40):
Yeah, absolutely find a spot and come on in.

Speaker 7 (34:42):
And now there's new spot on Kings I mean that's
basically the warehouse district down that road on the Harbor View, yep.
And so everybody leaving work is going to want to
go and hang out somewhere.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
And you get all kinds of parking there.

Speaker 14 (34:52):
Yeah, a huge bar at the new beefol Brady's, big
twenty one person seat bar, big high lot of high
tops around the bar. So it's got a really nice
lounge area and then a nice booths and tables area
as well.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
So excellent, check it out, man, please, we'll do, we'll do.
It's in the neighborhood for me. Yeah, it's in the
neighborhood for everybody. Everybody cruises by there at some point.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
I am really disappointed in you.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Do you have any ethical qualms regarding human experimentation?

Speaker 7 (35:44):
You think this is some kind of game. You're just
gonna drop the mic and walk off.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
It's heartbreak.

because sometimes you're like, you know what, only wore this
for four hours and it was mostly in air conditioning.
I can wear it again. I'm addicted to online articles, right.
I love relationship advice, especially bad relationship advice, because you'll, yeah,
it's perfect, isn't it. Because you'll always see like articles

(36:19):

there had to be some other sacrificial lamb, and apparently
this nobody is going to be it. Okay, former Florida

(37:24):
House Speaker Paul Renner, who nobody knows you ever heard of, No, no,
no idea, he's uh, he's going to be the sacrificial
lamb to get his ass kicked by Byron Donalds governor.
He's decided that he's going to run for governor. Yeah,
you know, God bless you, good luck, but you're gonna lose.

Speaker 7 (37:44):
Yes, I'm sorry, you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Nice guy, navy veteran. Thank you for your service, but
you can Nobody knows who you are. No, and nobody cares.

Speaker 7 (37:58):
Nobody cares?

Speaker 1 (37:59):
By is our man direct?

Speaker 7 (38:03):
The five year old slips out of the house and
heads to Chick fil A for breakfast. There you go quote,
are you gonna get me to jail? Before anyone in
his house woke up on Tuesday, ju he walked. Okay,
a five year old, you have money? I don't know.
I'm reading the story a five year old Jacksonville boy
named William. Really, he has decided he'd get up and

(38:26):
take a walk down to the old Chick Fula by himself.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Can't blame him.

Speaker 7 (38:30):
Nobody knew he'd left since everyone was asleep, and before
mom and dad knew it, the cops were knocking on
their door as seven twenty in the morning. So police
got him home safely.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
And while did they give him some Chick fil A?

Speaker 7 (38:43):
Yeah, I'm getting to that. While his parents seemed a
little shook up, William looks to have had a blast,
though he was quiet once his parents came outside to
get him. Looks like they had a little rendezvous with
Chick fil A at a later date and William gave
the boys and blew some cookies, so everyone must have
been on good terms. William has since learned his lesson here,

(39:05):
which is obviously that God's chicken sandwich is one hundred
percent worth the ride in a police car. Indeed, and
next time he's bored and nobody's awake yet he should
once again do the correct thing and walk down to
the Chick fil A for some holy breakfast.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Hey, you might have seen this on Facebook and the
next door everybody complaining about it. I can understand why.
The company that paints the lane lines, Oh yeah, they
went down midway. Apparently they weren't aware that their little
spray paint thing was broke, and so it's just this
blur of yellow just kind of running down the middle

(39:42):
of the street.

Speaker 7 (39:42):
That's fun.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
A lousy contractor. Yeah, you know, what are you gonna do?
They were performing the work at night. I mean, thanks
for that for not slowing down. But at the same time,
you screwed it up.

Speaker 7 (39:55):
So there.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
It's under warranty, so they're going to they're going to
fix It'll get fixed.

Speaker 7 (40:01):
We have our top men are to the case, top men,
top mad.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
But you see the video, it's like, wow, that dude
was stoned.

Speaker 8 (40:11):
Do this.

Speaker 7 (40:12):
It's hard to get good help. They're all getting deported.
What do you want?

Speaker 8 (40:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (40:16):
Wow, you know how many contractors we've called.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
We kept our legals, that's why we were working at night.

Speaker 7 (40:22):
Yeah. We called one guy who was on a boat
in the middle of the night. We couldn't tell, and
all of a sudden the line went dead. They said,
what's that coming from the sky and the line went down.
We don't understand why.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
I just don't get it. We just don't get it.

Speaker 8 (40:41):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Oh, sad, sad news. Here the parents of hot Dogs
and Ketchup are divorcing. Yes, friends, I'm sorry to say
that craft Hines marriage is officially headed for divorce. The
craft Hns marriage began in twenty fifteen, so they made

(41:03):
it ten years. That's better than the seven that's true. Yeah,
other than the seven year itch. But they created one
of the largest food conglomerates. But after a brief honeymoon period,
things got a little bit rocky and well.

Speaker 7 (41:18):
So now RFK is coming in saying you gotta break.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
It up, break it up, to break it up, get
rid of the seed oils, oils. The breakup officially announced yesterday,
but the divorce won't finalize until sometime next year. The
two separated companies are going to split the custody of
hot Dogs in Ketchup, meaning they're no longer live under
the same roof, and we still don't know who's going

(41:41):
to be picking them up for soccer practice, but they
both will still be available in stores. It's unclear if
the parents will be going back to their pre marriage names.
All we know is that the company will be One
company is going to be a North American grocery business
with brands like Oscar Meyer, Maxwell House, pre son Craft,
singles and launchables.

Speaker 5 (42:03):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
The other business will focus globally on sauces and quote taste.

Speaker 7 (42:09):
Elevation with brands like Mayonnaises.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
The taste elevation Heinz, Ketchup, Philadelphia Cream Cheese, and Kraft
Mac and Cheese will be under that. So they're splitting
those up.

Speaker 7 (42:23):
Okay, so maybe it'll get better, who knows well. Speaking
of RFK Real Quick, doctor Malone speculates RFK Junior may
have an important announcement this month regarding a potential link
