Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All right, Well, a couple
of Thanksgiving observations, and of course, really a reason to
be thankful every year is to be thankful that we
see another day of life and experience life as it
is in its current form. But I'm looking at my
(00:21):
Chicago Bears sweater and I'm reminded they play the Eagles
today on Black Friday, because when the end of all
has to oversaturate Thanksgiving Holiday with football?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Am I right? Am? I right? And I do hope
the Bears continue their hot streak against the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And on the sports side of things, my observation from
Thanksgiving yesterday was simply this, when the Chiefs lose, it's.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
A national sports story.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
The First Take and other outlets over the night and
this morning, leaning in with the fact that the Chiefs lost,
and they lost to the Cowboys, who, as Colony Romo
and Jim Nantz pointed out, As they pointed out, could
(01:11):
run the table if they beat Detroit next week. I mean,
this team, you know, gets rid of Micah. There's a
lot of stuff going on with this team, yet here
they are in prime position to take over the conference,
which I haven't seen that from Dallas in a while,
Dak not making the mistakes that he usually does. It's
been a different team for Dallas this year. So we'll
(01:33):
see what happens out of that. But I do hope
my bear, my Dad's bears. I'm sure my bears. I mean,
I want the Giants to succeed, but I want the
Bears to succeed for my dad, and when they do,
I'm happy as well. So they played a day Black Friday,
and then the other observations from this thing.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Seeming obviously it was dimmed because of the horrible shooting.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Of two National Guard right outside the White House, which
my mom and I were outside the White House back
in March, so you think, my god, how fortunately we
were there to be in March before things went into
chaos in DC. The female National Guards woman died, so
(02:22):
she's effectively murdered by the Afghan immigrant and a shooter.
And it's horrible. But I wonder if deploying five hundred
more to combat this is the right answer, because I
(02:42):
get it, you want to keep the streets safe.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
But I hate to say, this is almost.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Like annahou continual little bombing of Palestine, which really harms
innocent Jewish Americans because.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
They get the wrath of what the Israeli government does.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Well, can we say it plainly that what our government does,
including the seditious six and President Trump, by installing more
National Guard, it incites violence.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It incites violence. I know he's trying to protect us,
but when you're already pissing off.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
People by installing the National Guard, doing it again wion't
lead to more chaos.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So that's my take on that. And we do pray
for the families.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Of the National Guards woman and the guardsmen that were shot,
one killed, just devastating, devastating heading into Thanksgiving and then
here in New York. Thankfully the parade went off without
a hitch. But I have a message, and I haven't
talked for a.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Little bit, so I want to get all this out.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I want to stretch my leg here and talk to
you for a second here on Black Friday. I don't
really give a crap if Zora Mundani isn't not the parade,
if he's doing local charity work with those like Al
Sharpton and others, and feeding veterans on Veterans Day and
feeding the homeless on Thanksgiving and doing those different food drives.
(04:10):
I have no problem with that, as long as he
doesn't touch the parades as well. It's one thing to
not show up to the parades. But Dora Mondani, in
case you haven't noticed, the Veterans Day, the Columbus Day,
Thanksgiving Day are all institutions in New York. And your
(04:31):
hands can serve the people of New York at a
food kitchen, but they better not touch our parades. They
better not touch our parades. It's one thing you don't
show up at all the parades, but if you start
messing around with them, that's when we're gonna have a problem.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Because you come in you're.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Saying I don't like parades or that and the other.
You give them middle finger to Clustopher Columbus. You're not
even at the Veterans a parade, then you're not there yesterday. Meanwhile,
Curtis was always there. I mean, this is why he
should have been given a chance.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Give it more votes.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
He's always at these different things. Saint Patrick's DA Parade
another institution of a parade. Maum, Donnie's hands can serve
the poor, can serve the needy, can serve the veterans.
If he chooses that overgoing to a parade, but his
hands better not touch the fabric of the city.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
And these parades make up the fabric of New York City.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Tomorrow, next year's gonna be one hundred years of the
Thanksgiving Day parade.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
One hundred years. How awesome is that? So, mam Donnie,
you can stay away, you can not be part of.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
The festivities, but don't make policies that screw it up
either or completely upended either.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
By the way, if I'm gonna add.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
These thoughts to my stream right now on the one
leg of alex Onetime dot Pro, I'm streaming this weekend
my Thanksgiving thoughts on gratitude, thankfulness and being great and
Thanksgiving all weekend long.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I gotta remember to start up again for Sunday, but
for today and tomorrow at least you'll get twenty four
hours of.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Coverage and I'm excited to share that with you in
the link below. But yeah, zoramum Donnie, you can choose
to not go to the parades. You can choose to
crap on parades saying you don't go to them, you
don't find use in them, but just let them be
the fabric of New York City. Will you don't touch them.
(06:37):
You don't have to be there, but don't touch them
with policy either. And that's where I stand on that
here from a long up network. Now, another disturbing sat
I saw in New York One yesterday. Did you know
that twenty million dollars worth of Thanksgiving food go to waste?
(07:08):
I mean twenty million foods.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Going to waste. New York One had this whole.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Stat on it, and I was fascinated, because we can
do better as a country.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
We can certainly do better in the city. I mean
there's city harvest.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
There's local food drives that were going on for Thanksgiving,
and turkeys were given out, and those are always special
moments to cover. And I believe the mets and meetings
had their food drives as well.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
But I mean, twenty million dollars worth of food go
to waste, and that's a shame.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Because that would be three hundred and sixty two nine
hundred and eighty one thanks iming have gone to waste.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I guess Trump said this over the week. But and
then our refed RIFBD.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Estimating three hundred and twenty million pounds of food will
be wasted as Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Three hundred and twenty million pounds of food will be wasted.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
There's so many resources to go and donate the food
you don't want.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
To have or you can't have. And yes, I'm getting
my one Like Up Award of a Day as well.
Don't worry. But I had I had a get this
off my chat.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Because when I see these stats of twenty million dollars
three hundred well actually five hundred fifty million dollars worth
of food, three hundred and twenty million pounds of food
that equals twenty and sixty seven million meals.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Could be wasted.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
That is a new analysis by Reathing Food Waste, and
I do want to get them on through economics and data,
rethink food waste economics and data, because.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
How do we fix this? It's Giving Tuesday, this upcoming Tuesday.
How do we fix that?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Here in New York and here in the country, forty
percent of what gets tossed on Thanksgiving is Turkey?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
So how do we fix that?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Refe Thank you for this analysis, thank you for the awareness,
But how do we fix twenty five hundred and fifty
dollars fifty million dollars worth of food.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Being tossed out?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I think we should get Refed on the One Leg
Up Network to discuss this announcement and and find out
how to fix that, and look at city harvest, look
at local food drive, sit combat to this. That's an
epidemic wasting the food, and an epidemic because there are
(10:38):
people hungry and starving, and yet those who can afford
it are throwing out five million dollars worth of food.
It's grotesque. It's affluential, but it's grotesque and which we
(11:00):
need to fix. Find a way to fix that. So
I'll then email Refed and get them on the show
here on the Woe Ling Up Network to figure out
how we can absorb this data, fix it and make
sure people don't overbuy.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And when they do, how do we preserve the rest
of it? That's the question.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
We're gonna have one leg up on preservation and not
waste five hundred million dollars of food when there are
many out there that could use a how a warm.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And hearty meal this holiday season. So let's have one
leg up for those that can't afford it by not
wasting our food. Moving forward, can we make a pledge
to do that. It's Giving Tuesday, this coming.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Up I'm gonna try and get on to talk about
all this and then tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday, and I'm excited about that.
But I also believe small Business Saturday every day?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Do I think that should be a slogan, the message
small Business Saturday.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Should be every day. But yes, shop small tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And they'll get works and they'll get cash back, and
they'll get everything.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Directed to them.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
The small businesses that are the economic engine of the country.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I mean, I would love to have back on.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Bruce from the Small Business League of America because he
and I had a great conversation about these small businesses.
But apparently small businesses account for ninety nine percent of
all businesses, employing forty six percent of the private workforce.
So when you celebrate and honor small business, you are
(12:54):
giving back not only to your local business that needs it,
and probably five years after COVID is still needing your support.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
But there's a resurgence.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And look, new business applications have surged four hundred and
thirty thousand per month in twenty twenty four, fifty percent
more than twenty nineteen small business applications. Forty three percent
of self employed Americans are female, Black, Asian and Hispanics.
Small business owner optimism is rebounding over seventy percent. Expect
revenue to grow in the next year. Just look at
(13:30):
ai AI's got to cover with those stats.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Shout out to Gemini for that. Just type in small
business stats.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
So here on the one ling Up Network, I wish
you a happy thing Skimming week.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
We're gonna have another interview coming up soon with Scott Martin.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Martin and he's a He was a collegiate soccer coach
that got it with a debilitating flushing disease, but he
has not let that stop him. I'm gonna load that
podcast a bit later today. Maybe got a Terminalo's taken
here for his thoughts on Thanksgiving and and the sports
aspect of it, the richness of the sports aspect of
(14:10):
the Big three games that happen every year now including
the lines in the Dallas tradition, and so yeah, it's
a It's always one of my favorite holidays, my favorite
holiday of all.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
This Thanksgiving, and I cannot wait.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
To uh to share more this Christmas holiday season with you.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
But I don't know what's your favorite holiday, Alex Janwi
dot com. For me, it's Thanksgiving. That's holiday. It's the
most beautiful holiday. It's the one where we're not divided
at all.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
We just seen come together as family and put everything aside.
And that's where we to try to do every day
in an act of thankfulness, gratitude and thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
That's my thanks to me message
Speaker 1 (15:08):
