Speaker 1 (00:00):
Remember Patrick lyone from the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I remember the name.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Yes, he of course he is a forward for the Jackets.
He's he was traded in August to the Montreal Canadians,
so he's there now, but he's on ir Actually he's
a he had a knee injury and here he had
some trouble as well, a little bit of trouble there
at the end. Anyway, I bring his name up. He
(00:26):
just sold his downtown Columbus condominium, so it's been on
the market for a while. I'm sure you would have
loved to have this one listed, Chuck. He sold his
four thy thirty one square fit condo, twenty fourth floor
of the Mire Nova Tower MM two point three million,
not bad. He listed it for two point seventy five
(00:47):
and he did.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Very well considering. Yeah, that's what that's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
So that's one of those ones that did not go
for list or more, which mostly the stuff you're dealing
with as of late is the case.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We just had a mansion in Ohio this past week though,
did you see that right on the lake? Gorgeous? Yes, gorgeous,
But it took a long time to sell it and
they took a big hit on it too. They like
three and a half million less than this price.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah, did they have a list of for ten million?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I think it was ten to four when they started. Yeah,
good lord, Ben.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, it's crazy to think any house in Ohio sells
for that kind.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Of Yeah, you know, I'd want I'd want warmth all
the time for that kind of money, you would think.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
But somebody who has that kind of money, is that
a third or fourth house for for that person?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Probably? Probably?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Primary, yeah, yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
In other words, yeah, you're not going all right, I
got my house that I was that's typically a third
or fourth Yeah. He paid two point four seven five
for it, so he did take a hit. He took
a little bit of a hit, I should say. And
this was in twenty twenty two when he paid that
for It's two bedroom, two and a half bath condo
(01:53):
has an office with a Murphy bed that can serve
as a third bedroom. I don't know what a murphy.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's one of those beds like you pull it down
from the wall.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Oh okay, okay uh. And then also, let's see the
primary bath includes heated floors.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Okay, good, that's.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Pretty nice if you could get that, get that worked out.
I gotta get that one in my next house. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
The heated floors. I like the sun lamp in the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah they don't. They don't get out of.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
A cold shower. You have that sun lamp. Oh yeah,
it's glorious.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Heated floors would be so nice. I've never felt what
that feels like, unless, of course, it's summertime and your
floors are hot because it's hot out. Yeah, then it's
a heated floor. But then you don't want it heated.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Not quite the same thing.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Damn it. There's a heated towel rack that was in it,
so your towel is nice and toasty.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Okay, I can see.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, why not drying off your your buns with a
heated towel, a jetted tub, and a sauna. The kitchen
comes with two wine coolers, a bar area, and a
built in meal coffee maker. Now I had to look
this up, not not just what it was, but how
to pronounce it, because it's spelled m I E l E.
(03:08):
It's pronounced Mela coffee maker, and they're around five six
thousand bucks.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
No, yes, no, I love my coffee, but no.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I mean this is the one that was like, you know,
it's got the grinder building and you know it just
looks like a rectangular box that's mounted into the wall.
It's building. It's kind of integrated, looks very nice. I'm
sure it does espressol, it does coffee, does everything. Yeah,
you would think for.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Trying to graw myself into two hundred bucks for a
bun right now, So you know.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That you got to pour the water in yourself. Yes, yeah,
because that's where I'm at too, brother, pour the water in.
I don't even have a line going, a dedicated water line. Yeah, yeah,
some people do that. It's got an expansive patio, three
garage spaces included with it. So Keller Williams Columbus is
who listed it, and so the Yeah, then they go
(04:03):
on to talk about line A and you know, his
second overall pick and draft in twenty sixteen. Blah blah blah.
But there it is. It just sold in case. That
kind of stuff is fascinating to me for whatever reason,
I don't know. I like to I like to see
how those rich folk live, you know, really rich folk,
like you know, at the NHL level.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
What did he do before coming to Columbus, you know
any idea. Was he already in the NHLs.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yes, he was a second overall draft pick twenty sixteen,
acquired by the Jackets in twenty twenty one. He fractured
as Clavigal last December.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I've often wondered about, you know, the young athletes as
we especially from real estate perspective, where everybody, you know,
we want to see your credit score, your credit history,
want your money to be seasoned before you put it
in as a downpay, blah blah blah blah, all these rules.
Then you get some kid that you know, he comes
out of college before nil comes out of college, signs
a fifty million dollar contract, imediately owns a four million
(05:01):
dollar house somewhere. How do you do that right to
check in come. You don't have the credit history, you
don't have anything, you haven't made the fifty million yet.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, but there's probably some sort of signing.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
But yeah, yes, it just always intrigues me that these
young people walk into that money and get that so quickly.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
If you if you if somebody came to you and
you had a four million dollar listing and they go,
I'm gonna put three million down and I'll pay it
off here in sixty days or another whatever, six months
or what is that enough? Where you got seventy five
percent down, do you get to bypass any of the
stuff you just listed there as prerect Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, you probably could see what I'm saying. There are
lenders out there that do their own underwriting. They make
their decisions in house, so they'd see some Okay, you
got three million out of the four down, and you
got a contract for four years. We'll do this so
they can make.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Some guaranteed money or yeah, they're they're probably not having
to go through the normal borrowing process.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, lender shame, we can't all do that. I'd love
to be able to. Yeah, I plan on making fifty
million next year. Can I just have this house now?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
He did bathroom floors at all? Yes, that would be nice.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
If I have a warm towel, it's because it just
came out of the dryer. Or you can put those
in the microwave and get to achieve the same effect.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
By the time you get him from the kitchen to
the bathroom. They're cool again though.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
So no, because you keep them folded, you don't unfold them. Okay,
So they got to be folded and then you fire
them up, and then you get them there. While they're folded,
you unfold them. Ooh, it's ugly, it's nice.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The important thing you didn't mention, though, did they have
a be Day?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
See, everybody's hurt me. You gotta have the B day.
I would never own one, but you everybody's all the rate.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You never would, No, No, I would in a second.
Some people say it's a game changer. You can buy
them for fifty bucks on Amazon.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
No. Some things I believe manual labor is appropriate, and
that's one of them.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, there's still some manual labor, just not as intense
and as much of it that after if you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, it just seems weird to me.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
All Right, we'll go from beidays to a nationwide egg.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Shortage, which is pretty much the same thing. You gotta
wash what comes out of there.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It's a similar smell. Yeah. Anyway, Yeah, I haven't seen.
According to what they're blaming this on is the spread
of bird flu right now. Of course, to the tune
of there, what did I see? And I could be
off on the quote I was, I'm going off of
my memory, which is not very good, but from this morning,
I think they said something around one hundred million hens
(07:36):
had to be what and that clearly cuts into egg
production when you're having to do that, and it's because
of bird flu. So Denver, Miami, New York are a
couple of places that they cite as shoppers are given
a limit for purchase. Now, I did like a dummy
when I was in Costco. All I was trying to
(07:56):
do was focus on getting out of there a with
my stuff, be alive, and see in a timely fashion.
So I did not get over to even take a
peek and say, oh, there's plenty of eggs here, and
how much are they? Yeah, because that's where I think
it's they're saying it's you know, it's elevating in price
right now.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I just posted something on Facebook about this. About a
year ago, everybody in America seemed to own chickens and
was selling farm fresh brown eggs. I'm a big fan
of the farm fresh brown egg I think they're waste
superior to the store stuff. Nobody I can't find them now,
which is really odd that. I mean, you used to
go to Facebook, marketplace or Craigslist and there was a
(08:33):
long list of you know, people selling eggs.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Did you purchase something like that? Oh yeah, oh you did? Yeah,
and buy them from just a complete stranger.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Guy over off of Al Cairo Road that I used
to get a lot from southwest side. And yeah, I mean,
you know, what can you do to my eggs unless
the shell's been penetrated? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Nothing. I I was just curious.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, and most people who are selling eggs are pretty,
you know, decent, normal, somewhat wholesome people. They're not.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Did he have a lot of as far as the hens,
I think.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
He had like a dozen hens. Yeah, But it was
just nice to be able to go get him.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And now I'm this is this is intriguing to me.
So how often would you go and buy them from him?
A and did he have the cartons or did you
just have to put him in a bag.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He would have cartons or if you had extra cartons
he bring them back. That was just kind of a
courtesy thing that you do. Yeah, you save them the
little cartains. Yeah and uh yeah, a couple of times
a month, and because there was a time. Now my
grandsons have backed off a lot, but they us still
love the eggs as much as I did. So, you know,
you go and get three dozen a couple of times
a month, and we were going through them, and there's
(09:41):
such a difference there is you get fresh brown eggs. Man,
the richness, it's just different. Oh my gosh. Yes, you
actually feel like you are eating something when you eat
those eggs.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
What was he charging you?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Do you remember? It was two fifty?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well that's a fantastic's excellent, which when you're talking about
fresh like that.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Now, if he find them for under five dollars, if
you can find them at all, you're lucky.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
How's your what's the favorite way to prepare them? Like?
What would your grandsons like?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
The scramble? Yeah? Yeah, they or just scrambled a little
cheese on top, Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Did you put anything in them? Cream?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Or no?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I put half and half in mind.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
No, the queen is she's an egg master. She does
the over easy for me. They are just perfect. Every
time I can nail that perfect every time. Really, I've
perfected it. I'm really I don't even need a spatul
I flip them and I don't make it. Yeah, okay, yeah, sure,
I did not hesitate you know a year, right. All
you got to say is can I take you?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yes? Yes is the answer.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
There are you some costco potatoes.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
It's all like doggy collar, Yeah, flipping those flipping the
over So I like the over medium eggs myself and
i've i've. The key is to have You gotta have
enough oil in there, be it oil, butter or whatever.
You got to have enough of that because you want
to do this, you know, moving moving the pan around.
(11:04):
You got to see this thing moving and it's just
this little you know, and it's flips. There is a
there's a bit of an art to it. And I
ate slash broke many a yellow over the yolks if
you will, over the years.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
She's got to throw a little copper skillet which is
dedicated to my eggs because nothing sticks to it.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yes, just so, just like the infomercial.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yes, yes, And then I bought her set of the
granite stone. She wanted like a nice butter seat of
the granite stone and she's like, they're nice, but everything's
too small because you guys eat so much. So I
get a set of pots and pans. Now they're too
small for her, even though they're nonstick and gorgeous. They're
too small.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Because they don't they don't make enough per Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
The pots and pans are just not big enough for
what she cooks to feed, you know, the troops.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, speaking of the troops, a nice segue there for me.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Senator Rand Paul voicing his opposition on Sunday the idea
of using military to carry out the mass deportations people
living here illegally. I understand on one hand what he's
talking about. Visually, it's kind of a bad visual, and
he lays it out. He goes, you know, they send
the army into New York. You have ten thousand troops
(12:17):
marching carrying semi automatic weapons. It's a terrible image. I'll
oppose that. This is what Senator Paul was saying. A
nineteenth century US law prohibits federal troops from being used
in domestic law enforcement except when authorized by Congress. So
it's an interesting it's an interesting thing. But when you're
(12:38):
talking about rounding up as many illegals as we know
that are here, it's just how do you really do
that if you don't have, you know, a large group
of people who can enforce something like that. So It's like,
I see both sides of this, and I'm kind of torn.
And I feel like this usually when it's at the
(12:59):
be getting of something, and I'm not privy to every
you know, the consequences are types of things that can
happen along the way.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
You know, you know, when the cities are burning and
violence is going on and rioting is happening, there's no
problem in calling in the National Guard to police the
streets and keep peace. So I disagree fundamentally with the concepts. Secondly,
I'm disappointed in Rand Paul, not because I disagree with
the legality versus illegality of it, but because he is
painting this picture knowing that this must be done, this
(13:30):
has to be done. He is painting this picture for
the American public, like, you know, the the rows of
jack booted Nazis walking through the street with their arms race.
That's that's not the scene we need to portray to
people's minds right now. And quite frankly, once Donald Trump
has sworn and he says we're coming, a lot of
people are gonna leave on their own. Yeah they are.
(13:51):
They're going to go just to avoid this kind of thing.
And they're discounting that as well. It's I don't think
it's going to be nearly the.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Well, as far as far as the scene goes, it
is if there are ten thousand troops going through And
I understand what you're saying. You're like, stop with the
fear mongering. Not fear mongering, but the way. Yeah, just
the way that it's portrayed. I can understand that part.
But is it that or isn't it that? Is the
(14:18):
way that I kind of almost process this. Would it be, Well, no,
they're not going to be, you know, whether their legs
are all in sync and they're like walking down the
street and they're holding up the weapons and you know,
I don't it's not like that. It wouldn't be. But
I do understand as far as the image goes, if it,
if it did get you're given the given mainstream media
(14:42):
a lot of you know, I don't know, is it
is it really something that they should be given as
far as those those images that they can use in that,
But I don't know. You can't. I guess you can't
always think that way.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And we're not talking about sitting in federal troops to
prevent shoplifting, right, Okay, we have any invasion of our borders.
This is not the law. This is the law. This
is the law of the land. Federal immigration policy that's
been broken. If our military is not to be used
to enforce our own borders and our own national security,
(15:16):
what are they there for. I don't I don't agree
with his argument. And a lot of this, too, is
going to come down to how much cooperation the Trump
administration gets from mayors and governors. If police are allowed
to actually arrest and send to ice illegals, and that's
going to make a big difference too.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, there are a lot of the mayors, a lot
of governors already saying they're going to fight this. A
lot of the blue states, the governors, the blue governors
are saying this.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So you're federal funding evaporates.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, ye,
Remember Patrick lyone from the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I remember the name.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Yes, he of course he is a forward for the Jackets.
He's he was traded in August to the Montreal Canadians,
so he's there now, but he's on ir Actually he's
a he had a knee injury and here he had
some trouble as well, a little bit of trouble there
at the end. Anyway, I bring his name up. He
(00:26):
just sold his downtown Columbus condominium, so it's been on
the market for a while. I'm sure you would have
loved to have this one listed, Chuck. He sold his
four thy thirty one square fit condo, twenty fourth floor
of the Mire Nova Tower MM two point three million,
not bad. He listed it for two point seventy five
(00:47):
and he did.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Very well considering. Yeah, that's what that's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
So that's one of those ones that did not go
for list or more, which mostly the stuff you're dealing
with as of late is the case.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We just had a mansion in Ohio this past week though,
did you see that right on the lake? Gorgeous? Yes, gorgeous,
But it took a long time to sell it and
they took a big hit on it too. They like
three and a half million less than this price.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah, did they have a list of for ten million?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I think it was ten to four when they started. Yeah,
good lord, Ben.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, it's crazy to think any house in Ohio sells
for that kind.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Of Yeah, you know, I'd want I'd want warmth all
the time for that kind of money, you would think.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
But somebody who has that kind of money, is that
a third or fourth house for for that person?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Probably? Probably?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Primary, yeah, yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
In other words, yeah, you're not going all right, I
got my house that I was that's typically a third
or fourth Yeah. He paid two point four seven five
for it, so he did take a hit. He took
a little bit of a hit, I should say. And
this was in twenty twenty two when he paid that
for It's two bedroom, two and a half bath condo
(01:53):
has an office with a Murphy bed that can serve
as a third bedroom. I don't know what a murphy.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's one of those beds like you pull it down
from the wall.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Oh okay, okay uh. And then also, let's see the
primary bath includes heated floors.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Okay, good, that's.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Pretty nice if you could get that, get that worked out.
I gotta get that one in my next house. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
The heated floors. I like the sun lamp in the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah they don't. They don't get out of.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
A cold shower. You have that sun lamp. Oh yeah,
it's glorious.

million next year. Can I just have this house now?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
He did bathroom floors at all? Yes, that would be nice.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
If I have a warm towel, it's because it just
came out of the dryer. Or you can put those
in the microwave and get to achieve the same effect.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
By the time you get him from the kitchen to
the bathroom. They're cool again though.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
So no, because you keep them folded, you don't unfold them. Okay,
So they got to be folded and then you fire
them up, and then you get them there. While they're folded,
you unfold them. Ooh, it's ugly, it's nice.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The important thing you didn't mention, though, did they have
a be Day?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
See, everybody's hurt me. You gotta have the B day.
I would never own one, but you everybody's all the rate.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You never would, No, No, I would in a second.
Some people say it's a game changer. You can buy
them for fifty bucks on Amazon.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
No. Some things I believe manual labor is appropriate, and
that's one of them.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, there's still some manual labor, just not as intense
and as much of it that after if you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, it just seems weird to me.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
All Right, we'll go from beidays to a nationwide egg.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Shortage, which is pretty much the same thing. You gotta
wash what comes out of there.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It's a similar smell. Yeah. Anyway, Yeah, I haven't seen.
According to what they're blaming this on is the spread
of bird flu right now. Of course, to the tune
of there, what did I see? And I could be
off on the quote I was, I'm going off of
my memory, which is not very good, but from this morning,
I think they said something around one hundred million hens
(07:36):
had to be what and that clearly cuts into egg
production when you're having to do that, and it's because
of bird flu. So Denver, Miami, New York are a
couple of places that they cite as shoppers are given
a limit for purchase. Now, I did like a dummy
when I was in Costco. All I was trying to
(07:56):
do was focus on getting out of there a with
my stuff, be alive, and see in a timely fashion.
So I did not get over to even take a
peek and say, oh, there's plenty of eggs here, and
how much are they? Yeah, because that's where I think
it's they're saying it's you know, it's elevating in price
right now.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I just posted something on Facebook about this. About a
year ago, everybody in America seemed to own chickens and
was selling farm fresh brown eggs. I'm a big fan
of the farm fresh brown egg I think they're waste
superior to the store stuff. Nobody I can't find them now,
which is really odd that. I mean, you used to
go to Facebook, marketplace or Craigslist and there was a
(08:33):
long list of you know, people selling eggs.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Did you purchase something like that? Oh yeah, oh you did? Yeah,
and buy them from just a complete stranger.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Guy over off of Al Cairo Road that I used
to get a lot from southwest side. And yeah, I mean,
you know, what can you do to my eggs unless
the shell's been penetrated? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Nothing. I I was just curious.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, and most people who are selling eggs are pretty,
you know, decent, normal, somewhat wholesome people. They're not.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Did he have a lot of as far as the hens,
I think.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
He had like a dozen hens. Yeah, But it was
just nice to be able to go get him.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And now I'm this is this is intriguing to me.
So how often would you go and buy them from him?
A and did he have the cartons or did you
just have to put him in a bag.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He would have cartons or if you had extra cartons
he bring them back. That was just kind of a
courtesy thing that you do. Yeah, you save them the
little cartains. Yeah and uh yeah, a couple of times
a month, and because there was a time. Now my
grandsons have backed off a lot, but they us still
love the eggs as much as I did. So, you know,
you go and get three dozen a couple of times
a month, and we were going through them, and there's
(09:41):
such a difference there is you get fresh brown eggs. Man,
the richness, it's just different. Oh my gosh. Yes, you
actually feel like you are eating something when you eat
those eggs.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
What was he charging you?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Do you remember? It was two fifty?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well that's a fantastic's excellent, which when you're talking about
fresh like that.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Now, if he find them for under five dollars, if
you can find them at all, you're lucky.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
How's your what's the favorite way to prepare them? Like?
What would your grandsons like?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
The scramble? Yeah? Yeah, they or just scrambled a little
cheese on top, Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Did you put anything in them? Cream?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Or no?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I put half and half in mind.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
No, the queen is she's an egg master. She does
the over easy for me. They are just perfect. Every
time I can nail that perfect every time. Really, I've
perfected it. I'm really I don't even need a spatul
I flip them and I don't make it. Yeah, okay, yeah, sure,
I did not hesitate you know a year, right. All
you got to say is can I take you?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yes? Yes is the answer.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
There are you some costco potatoes.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
It's all like doggy collar, Yeah, flipping those flipping the
over So I like the over medium eggs myself and
i've i've. The key is to have You gotta have
enough oil in there, be it oil, butter or whatever.
You got to have enough of that because you want
to do this, you know, moving moving the pan around.
(11:04):
You got to see this thing moving and it's just
this little you know, and it's flips. There is a
there's a bit of an art to it. And I
ate slash broke many a yellow over the yolks if
you will, over the years.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
She's got to throw a little copper skillet which is
dedicated to my eggs because nothing sticks to it.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yes, just so, just like the infomercial.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yes, yes, And then I bought her set of the
granite stone. She wanted like a nice butter seat of
the granite stone and she's like, they're nice, but everything's
too small because you guys eat so much. So I
get a set of pots and pans. Now they're too
small for her, even though they're nonstick and gorgeous. They're
too small.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Because they don't they don't make enough per Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
The pots and pans are just not big enough for
what she cooks to feed, you know, the troops.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, speaking of the troops, a nice segue there for me.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Senator Rand Paul voicing his opposition on Sunday the idea
of using military to carry out the mass deportations people
living here illegally. I understand on one hand what he's
talking about. Visually, it's kind of a bad visual, and
he lays it out. He goes, you know, they send
the army into New York. You have ten thousand troops
(12:17):
marching carrying semi automatic weapons. It's a terrible image. I'll
oppose that. This is what Senator Paul was saying. A
nineteenth century US law prohibits federal troops from being used
in domestic law enforcement except when authorized by Congress. So
it's an interesting it's an interesting thing. But when you're
(12:38):
talking about rounding up as many illegals as we know
that are here, it's just how do you really do
that if you don't have, you know, a large group
of people who can enforce something like that. So It's like,
I see both sides of this, and I'm kind of torn.
And I feel like this usually when it's at the
(12:59):
be getting of something, and I'm not privy to every
you know, the consequences are types of things that can
happen along the way.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
You know, you know, when the cities are burning and
violence is going on and rioting is happening, there's no
problem in calling in the National Guard to police the
streets and keep peace. So I disagree fundamentally with the concepts. Secondly,
I'm disappointed in Rand Paul, not because I disagree with
the legality versus illegality of it, but because he is
painting this picture knowing that this must be done, this
(13:30):
has to be done. He is painting this picture for
the American public, like, you know, the the rows of
jack booted Nazis walking through the street with their arms race.
That's that's not the scene we need to portray to
people's minds right now. And quite frankly, once Donald Trump
has sworn and he says we're coming, a lot of
people are gonna leave on their own. Yeah they are.
(13:51):
They're going to go just to avoid this kind of thing.
And they're discounting that as well. It's I don't think
it's going to be nearly the.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Well, as far as far as the scene goes, it
is if there are ten thousand troops going through And
I understand what you're saying. You're like, stop with the
fear mongering. Not fear mongering, but the way. Yeah, just
the way that it's portrayed. I can understand that part.
But is it that or isn't it that? Is the
(14:18):
way that I kind of almost process this. Would it be, Well, no,
they're not going to be, you know, whether their legs
are all in sync and they're like walking down the
street and they're holding up the weapons and you know,
I don't it's not like that. It wouldn't be. But
I do understand as far as the image goes, if it,
if it did get you're given the given mainstream media
(14:42):
a lot of you know, I don't know, is it
is it really something that they should be given as
far as those those images that they can use in that,
But I don't know. You can't. I guess you can't
always think that way.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And we're not talking about sitting in federal troops to
prevent shoplifting, right, Okay, we have any invasion of our borders.
This is not the law. This is the law. This
is the law of the land. Federal immigration policy that's
been broken. If our military is not to be used
to enforce our own borders and our own national security,
(15:16):
what are they there for. I don't I don't agree
with his argument. And a lot of this, too, is
going to come down to how much cooperation the Trump
administration gets from mayors and governors. If police are allowed
to actually arrest and send to ice illegals, and that's
going to make a big difference too.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, there are a lot of the mayors, a lot
of governors already saying they're going to fight this. A
lot of the blue states, the governors, the blue governors
are saying this.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So you're federal funding evaporates.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, ye,
