Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yes, there are. It is a government shutdown. I know
that's the lead story. But Dwight, can you tell me,
out of all those jobs that aren't getting paid right now,
which job gets paid? What's the big one?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I would say, Senate Congress.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yes, the people that actually caused the shut down, they
still get paid. And we've said on this show for
eight nine years, we said what we said, make it
if the government shut downs, you don't get paid, but
you don't get back paid. You don't get paid right, No.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Absolutely, and see how that goes the federal employees. They'll
receive their back pay. Yes, you know.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And here's the thing. They all think they're one upping
the other guy. Surveys are polling will show that the
majority of Americans blame both sides. When they ask him
the question, you're like, do you blame Democrats or Republicans
on this? Most people say, yeah, I blame both.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But here's the thing. It's worn off. The scare of
is worn off. We're gonna shut down the government. At first,
I was like, oh my gosh, this sounds serious. You know,
twenty times ago when they tried it, and now they're saying, hey,
we're gonna shut down the government. Oh okay, sounds good. Yeah,
I know, I fun with that. Yeah, I'm sure we'd
like to go to the park, but uh yeah, this
(01:09):
tree is closed. Evidently, this federal federal tree is now.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I don't know if you could go to the parks.
I think you can because the last time, remember it
was an extended time in Trump's first administration, it was
like two or three weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It was thirty five days.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Thirty five days, yes, uh, and the trash was piling
up at the at the because people were still going
to parks.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Right, they were like, oh wait, there's nobody at the
front gate. We can just go in. So we'll keep
you up if that if that changes. Because literally I thought,
really last night they were like twelve oh one, the
government shuts downs, and I was like, watch this. I
bet like at twelve it'll they'll figure it out, But
it could be any time now.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I barely made it into a worn today. It was
so bad with the government.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
It's just continuing to kick. They're never they're never going
to fix anything. They're just gonna kick the can down
the road to the next argument. It's really it's really
the game plan of the federal government. It is to
let's see who's gonna win on this one, all right,
So we'll keep you up. If it passes, we'll figure
it out. Bowman Fast were live at Bowman Field in
(02:11):
an airplane hangar on Friday for the show. This weekend,
of course, is Bowman Fest aerobatics show. Matter of fact,
I was watching some of the planes over Saint Matthew's
because it's near my house. Some of the planes were
practicing already, forty military vehicles. It's a big family found event.
It's this weekend starts with a five K on Saturday.
All right. I never had I never had in.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
What was that? Okay? Yeah, oh my gosh, what's wrong?
What did you eat right before we go on the
air or something?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
It was a McDonald zeed McMuffin.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Okay, yeah, that's what it smells like.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
The ham. They call it Canadian ham, but it's a
Canadian bacon. Yeah, I'm sorry, they call it Canadian bacon. Yeah,
it's ham. I never had one of these because I
always had like a when email came around. Yes, we've
been working so long in radio that I remember not
having an email address. But the station just gave me
an email address, right, I never had an AOL ale
(03:08):
neither aoo L. Yeah, they finally shut it down today.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Neither did I. And that's why I guess I didn't
get to joke. People would always talk about, oh, he's
got an aol dot com address.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Oh that they still does, still does. I was like, oh, well,
so the dial up sound is so annoying. I can't
imagine why people didn't like it. But the they even
made a movie. Tom Hanks made a movie called You've
Got Mail.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Remember how long it dial up it would take to
download a song? Like on napsure you started download, Yes,
you would cut your grass, take a shower, go get
your shopping. Oh here it comes right here.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Let me go ahead.
Speaker 2 (03:46):

In the first thing in the morning. I just want
to get this, uh just want to get this three.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You know what, I don't feel comfortable playing. I don't
feel comfortable playing any of that, So don't do that.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I swear to you. I thought that the fact, same thing.
But yo, yeah, I want to download this two minute
Kenny Rogers song. It takes like two and a half
hours to.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Take a while. It would take a while. Who do
we have coming on? Do we have Metro Safe coming
on today? All right, we'll talk with the Metro Safe
a little bit later. Fat Bear Week is over, the
winner who won thirty two chunk, and you know what,
I'm happy for him, Yeah, because he's been the runner up. Right,
(04:38):
he's been a runner up and he's uh not special needs,
but he's got a he's he's got a broken jaw.
Like his jaws is kind of a skewed to the side. Yeah,
thirty two chunks. Uh, it is skewed to the side. Uh,
but that has not prevented him from feeding his big
(04:59):
fat belly. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Wow, yes, yes, she look at those feet.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Brooks River is where this thing is. And people, my
wife has been obsessed with this thing forever. Look.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So he's he's got the gut thing because he's standing
on all of his fours right, all forest force, and
his gut is hanging down to the ground.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
It looks like me, like right before I'm getting ready
to do a plank.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah I can.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I can actually balance myself and do the Superman They look.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
They look so much, so much fun until they rip
your face off and they eat you alive. They started,
they starting your guts, so you're you're still alive while
they're eating you.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, how do you know? They're just uh, that's just
not how you say hello.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
And barre language. Yeah. One of the and you have
a video from someone that was executed by isis that
you can never forget. I can never unhear the audio
from the video camera of that idiot that went into
the National Parks and lived with the bears because he
thought they were his friends. And him and his poor
(06:07):
girlfriend he just started dating, went in and they ran
up on one of the bears while they had she
had her cubs and they were feeding, they were eating,
and they ran into him and the video is running,
so they record them to getting eaten alive. You can't
not onhear it. It's still it's going through my head
(06:27):
right now. It's really disturbing people. And the poor girlfriend
that had no idea what she was getting into. But
you know what, at some point you're like, yeah, he's
all awesomebody, there's some bears, but you know.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
What, two less people in front of me at the
YU scan check out.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But it doesn't seem like how that story always ends
with people that have Oh, I have a pet lion, right,
or I have a pet chimpanzee.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
It seems like is it just me or the chimpanzee's
more violent than a lie?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, the chimpanzees are seem more violent because they rip
your face off, which is.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Again, but in the chimpanzee world, that could be one
of the highest compliments they could give you. Yes, face removal?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Okay? Uh pete Hegseth yesterday. Yeah, a lot of people
were upset.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
With the he needs to come out of a show.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
He really does. I gotta tell you it was I
thought it was funny. I thought I thought. I thought
what he was saying to them was because these are
generals and admirals and four star generals, they don't hear
any negative. Everyone everything, everybody steps to what they do,
so then they don't hear. They don't get orders, right
because the president orders or the you know, or a
(07:40):
heg Seth orders you. That's one person orders a three
star general. We'll do something.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
If you remember my mom, after I lost my father
years later, married in Air Force general and I lived
with him for a couple of years. I say, I'm
out of here. I'm familiar with generals, yes, and their
expectations yes, yes, he yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
The word not with the pH, but with the F
was was thrown around yesterday. It's unacceptable to see fat
generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and
leading all around the world. It's a bad look and
it's not who we are or what we need. So
what we're gonna do is have height and weight standards
(08:22):
for every member of the Joint Force. Okay, at every rank.
They were now required to do PT tests twice a year.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Okay, But then here's my question, serious question. If you're
a four star general with whatever, my three whatever, brigadier,
whatever level you're in general, and they determine, you know what,
your forty pounds overweight, will you be able to get
enough time to get that weight off and keep your
rank right?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yes, I would assume, so I don't know the timeline.
He didn't go over that, but twice a year, so
you're going to have a chance to get in shape.
But he did also add, if this conversation is making
your stomach sink or your your heart sink, do us
all favorite retire wow design and just move on and look.
(09:12):
If you're a if you're a high leveling military officer
like that, you're getting paid in retirement. Oh yeah, so
you might as well just say, look, I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna get in shape. I'm kind of fat
and happy. I'm gonna go retire. You get it, You
get pretty good. I mean yeah, that's what I wanted
to do to No, you would have just folded your
notebook and said, well, okay, all right, excuse me, excuse me,
(09:33):
excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Excuse me right in the middle, right, excuse me? Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Oh there's one down holding up the press conference, taking
fifteen minutes to get out of into the aisle.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
The other thing is, you know, when when you're around
wrestling teams a lot, because we were for almost ten years,
a lot of the guys in the coach wrestling they're
all in they were all former military, and they always
I could overhear the guys talking to each other that
were in different services of hey, did you hear the
new standard? And they're like, yeah, I heard, and they
were It was a slow burn towards lowering the standards
(10:10):
for just being in regular Army or the regular Navy
you have to do these pt events, you know, pull
ups or run a mile whatever, run the obstacle course.
And they kept lowering it because they couldn't get any
of these kids that were coming out of high school
to pass, so they kept lowering it.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, that's quite dangerous. I think what resonated with me.
I didn't see the entire speech, but I saw a
couple of lines from it, and I think the line
that resonated most with me is where he said, and
I'm paraphrasing something along the lines of is this unit
a unit you would want your child in? Meaning yeah,
I would you want your child to be with a
(10:51):
group of individuals where the standards have been lowered so low. Yeah,
anybody could pass, especially when it comes to war. I mean,
it's one thing of it's reest. You know, Okay, well
accept everybody whatever. It might be right, but man, this
is a you get people killed.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Which was the actor they used to do the mouse thing,
the comedian. He was kind of funny. He was always stoned.
Oh god, what was his name? He did an army
movie where he.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Joined the army.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Polly Shore did a movie and they will Be They
were the water purification team right, no.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
No, but because they thought they would never get sent.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
They never get sent anywhere, and the war breaks out
and they're like what uh so they're the clean water,
they're the water boys. They're the water boys for the army,
which is kind of important, supply chain all that stuff.
But there are because people are realized. Sometimes I tell
the military we're talking marketing stuff. I was like, you know,
you always get that the picture of the guy coming
(11:53):
off the off the tank or whatever with a gun
and he's in position to fire. I was like, that's
that's what is it? Three percent think of the military
that are actual combat maybe higher, but not much. I
mean there are, there's ninety percent of the jobs or
non combat. So he's talking specifically of hey man, we're
going to get back to some standards.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
And I know a lot of people were upset with that,
but he they put that on television yesterday because that's
what I noticed when I walked in and I was like,
this is on TV. It was on ABC, CBS, you
name it. He was running live and he had the
American flag back there like the movie pack.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah. I saw the shot shot.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Right, So I was like, this is he's sending a message.
This is you don't put it on TV if you're
not sending a complete message. So that was yesterday on
that one. All right. So in Jaytown, I guess near
your house. Did you see where this this? Uh? Father
and son were in their car and this piece of
metal flew through their windshield. They don't even know where
(12:54):
it came from. No, no, you can see there's a
piece of metal weighing several pounds smashed through her car
windshield Monday, sending an eighteen year old to the hospital
with cuts from the glass shattering. It happened around Billtown
Road in Jaytown.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, Shannon Sheehan and his son were driving through a
construction zone in Billtown outside Silver Oaks Subdivision around ten
thirty am and the object struck the vehicle and it
came through the window. It came through the window. So
they still don't know because the construction sites we weren't blasting,
(13:29):
we weren't doing anything like that, so they don't know
what came through the whether it's alien.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Well, it's just like, okay, this happened to me over
the summer. The moment. Remember it was right after our
Tormack kills it was raining, it was raining. It was
my first week on crutches. Somebody had a big, huge
piece of lumber come off their truck. It bounced and
went right where my head is. But it bounced off
the windshield, destroyed the windshield.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, that poor piece of board. If it had hit
your head, no, kid, that would have been a useless
piece of board at that episode.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
So anyway, and by the way, thank you the Simplebodyshop
dot com. The Simple Bodyshop dot com. But I was
telling the story and Greg out here in sales said
he lost. I think it was his college roommate in
a car accident that way.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
No way, Yeah, something hitting a wrenshield.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, because it went all the way through.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah. I don't think people understand the noise in the
sound coming through that with something like that happened. So
there's Trills still trying to figure out where that piece
of metal came from. All right, we're gonna take a
short break. We'll come back. Unlimited Landscapes. Go see my

Not a little fat d white around one. No, that's
when I'm asking. Yeah, there was a cookie Crobs, but
that's what I'm saying. Every time Pop would fill it up.
I was always amazed of little fat feet cookie jars
in the seventies were like you had to have a
cookie jar on I don't know who said that was
a rule, But if I went to a house and
there was actually cookies in the cookie jar, I was amazed.
(16:18):
You'd almost start crying.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
My mom, he's in there, you know. My mom would
tell a little fat d white cookies are for company,
But Mom, did you cookie? Can I say one thing
before we get off of this. I was always jealous
in they did this in the South then. I don't
know if they did in the East End, but I
was always jealous. There was one or two families in
the neighborhood and they would get deliveries from place a
(16:42):
place called Charles Chips. Yes, Charles Charlie chips and they
would be potato chips and cookies, and they just it
was Amazon. They bring them right to the door. Yeah,

And I believe, and we're gonna go break here in
a second. I believe.
Speaker 2 (17:46):

lot about who you are.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Okay, what cookies would you have.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It's a it's it's a no brainer. It would be
chocolate chip cookies would be in there all the time.

Mine would be not just Oreos, but the double fudge
dipped Oreos, the staple for little fat Dwight.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Now, you can't do that because it might get warm
in there and they get all gooey and the chocolate
on your hands.

a crisp cool thirty eight degrees.

don't want to jinx some event to happen. But this
is like or something.
Speaker 2 (20:00):

Speaker 3 (20:40):
We announced it last week and uh, what we tried
to do We started talking about this about a year
and a half ago. Monica came on board. That was
one of her first tasks and she did a great
job with it was to have a one stop shot
where the public can download something and everything they need
is in one app.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Okay, so what am I looking for?
Speaker 2 (20:59):

So uh, you know, we.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Always tell the public to prepare today for what could
happen tomorrow, building, building an emergency kit.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
What you need to have in that.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Uh you know. One of the big things that the
public gets confused on is if we have some type
of emergency where we initiate a shelter in place or
an evacuation. So it's got the definition of the two
of those and the differences in you know, between the
two and what to do for different uh you know,
for different emergencies. It's got different maps in there where
you can look at traffic conditions and go right.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, Kelly Jolt, he's with me on this far Superior Android.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
We couldn't leave you all out.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
And it's one word, it's lou Ready, yep, Okay, I'm
gonna do this.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, already, I've signed up. It's it takes a couple
of seconds.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
It's no problem at all. One of the big things
we're really excited about in the app, too, is a
function called safe Walk, and it's a way that you
can send a text with your live location to a
trusted friend. So, say you're going out to dinner and
you're just you're by yourself. You know you haven't you
haven't brought your friends with you, and you need a
way to walk around safely. Send that link over to them.
They can track you to make sure you get to
(23:07):
your destination safely.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, all right, safe walk makeup?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Do you know how to spell it? That may be
why you're struggling.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Ready, l O, U are like a?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Do you? I like kellen? Ready? I like hell? Oh?
You know what?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
How many a's are in? Ready? You know what?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Let's go back to the let's go I'm sorry, let's
let's let's reconnect with the walking thing. I'm interested in that.
So you're saying I can send a signal that I'm
going to walk to dinner with my wife, or I
have an older person in my family that cannot wander off, right,
how do I do?
Speaker 4 (23:42):
So?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I just said look safe walk? Okay, you got contacts,
make a plan, safe walk, weather maps, emergency management, hiring,
follow community engagement, and so much stuff on this app.
This is cool.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Yeah, So start. When you do the share with a friend,
it comes up with your recent texts. So I texted,
you know, with my best friends this morning. So their
text pops up on my phone and says you want
to do your resents and you can send that live
link right to them and they'll get that request. It'll
say click to accept my walk request, and then please
pay attention while you monitor them. The closing the window
will end the walk.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I sometimes send Kelly Jones photos, Yeah, tasteful photos only
from you. Yeah, so is there an option to send
photos on it? Is this something that?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Is this something that those cities have that we were
copying or whose idea was this?
Speaker 4 (24:31):
It's not copying, it's sharing.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
The wheel.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
So yeah, I really liked Chicago's I was up there
visiting the city and I always look for different things
that you know, when I travel to see what they're doing,
and Chicago did a really good job with that. And
they actually used the same back back end platform that
that we use as well, So we learned a lot
from them.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Did you recruit a little bit? Say, hey, come down
to Louisville.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I'm always recruiting you are it? You are the hiring
part of the app as well. You know, we're always
hiring EMTs, paramedics, nine to one call takers and dispatchers
and uh, you know, we're always looking to get better.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
How are the drones doing. I know we've implemented that
in the last couple of weeks and that is really
sort of a what a what A what a great
tool for you guys to be able to see the
scene of where you guys are about to pull up
to or at.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
So we're in the process of installation now, we've got
to do some hiring, some training, and we look to
the first quarter next year to hopefully go live with
that we'vet are. We still already do drones where we
go out to the scenes and we found from the
scenes of emergencies.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Right, so they already in their locations because we talked
about that, how they're going to be in static locations
at certain point happening.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Now right now? Wow, Yeah, I got to see it yesterday.
It's pretty incredible to see them in their little natural habitats.
We call them docks. So the drone in the docks.
I got to see a test takeoff yesterday. That was
really cool.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Yeah, we're getting ready to you know, take off if
you will around the level. It's going to be really exciting.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, it's nice. What's the time how long can you
fly that thing? It's forty five minutes or something.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Well, it just depends on the distance in the back
that they go the weather. Yeah, it just there's a
lot of different things.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
But that's the point of hiring a third party company
to help us with this is these aren't your regular,
run of the mill drones. These aren't your hobbyist drones.
They're specific to you know, to underdo go through I
should say, you know, whether it's an hour, hour and
a half, eventually they're going to have to come back.
And the idea is to supplement the drone's first responder
program with the drones we already have that Jody mentioned.
(26:30):
So if it is something we need them for longer,
you send the drone that was the first responder, send
him back home, and then throw in the air one
of our own other drones that can do more stationary work.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Metro Safe joins us, and Monica Harkins joins us. She's
you're what the public information officer? Okay. I got a
couple of questions because you have a media background in
media Tonys and media. You were television WDRB. But a
lot of media people they always get asked to be
public information officers and they leave their gig. We never
(27:01):
get asked to represent any kind of.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Because they wanted Monica, they don't want people to go, well,
you know.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
You do stay quite a bit. I've had to learn
to shut my mouth. It's pretty hard.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I've bet dog well that we would have a very
difficult issue.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
So it's hard to do. You miss doing the news
beyond you know, the first.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Couple of months, I didn't miss it. I do miss
the presenting now. I think the presenting part was really fun.
But I haven't been doing much of that. So maybe
we'll be doing some more interviews and I won't feel
that at that pool.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
How difficult is that awkward small talk at the end
of a segment.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Well, with me, it's never awkward.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
But when we close out this segment, I want to
do the news people awkward small talk all right?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Before I ask you what cookies are in your cookie jar,
I do want to ask you. So you know, when
we see the military, not military, when we see the
police helicopter above our house in Saint Matthew's, we know
something's going on.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
What will maybe with these new drones that will become
normal to see well, how high do they fly?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Normal? One hundred feet?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Just a couple of hundred feet, so I'll be able
to see it if it's flying over Saint Matthews or whatever.
I can know it'll be just like the hell, Hey,
something's going on, right, people don't.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Have anything to worry about though, right yeah, Nick, it
may not be it make it could It could be
just you know, a house fire or you know a
missing person or something like that that they're they're trying
to get above to see what's going on. So you know,
there's a criteria we're gonna set when the when these
things actually get in the air.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
And then you have a camera set up for this
app so you can I can watch the it's it's
under the weather app uh and it's got a shot
of what the river.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Well right now it is it.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
We usually typically shine it out to the southwest because
that's the way weather comes in. Obviously we're not expecting
anything for the next couple of days, but we can
move that and it's on mining or tower just right
next door to Hear. So we're looking to get several
more throughout the county. But the theory behind that, if
you remember the tornado, the unworn storm from July fourth,
a couple of years ago, because it was between radar loops,
the National Weather Service has access to this as well,
(28:47):
and they might be able to warn a storm by
what they see.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
This as what they have to wait on to see.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
With the radar.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
And we were already watching storms.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
What was it, Oaks Day, Oaks Stay.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
We were able to watch that and watch it approach
Churchill down.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
So are you thinking about adding camera shots?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Man?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I don't know how many cameras you guys got, but.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
And if you look at that too, it also gives
real time weather data. So depending on where we put
these cameras at, you know, for a hazardous material spill,
they can get real time weather data at that location
or very close to that location instead of relying on
what's coming from the airport.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Well, I think it's cool, Lou Ready is the app?
Go to your app store? Yeah, one word and just
download it now. It took me a couple of seconds
to fill it. Okay, So Monica, you go first. If
you have a cookie jar? What's the cookie and the
cookie jar?
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Well, definitely at Christmas time it has to be gingerbread.
I mean that's the best sugar.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
You gotta go sugar gingerbread.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
I make my own homemade gingerbread every year.
Speaker 1 (29:40):

chocolate chips in it? Okay? Maybe I'll down.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Oh nice, Well, mister Rockefeller just doing popular cookies.

That's not what you actually like, mister Rockefeller. Some of
us just have to have normal cookies, cookies you told
me to pick.
Speaker 4 (30:15):

Speaker 1 (30:56):
All right, Eatling and Eling, folks, If you're selling your
home one percent commission rate, that's it and no surprise
charges in the paperwork. A lot of real estate brokerages
might do that. Not with Eatlan and Eland. Forty six
years they've been doing it, and they sold half all
half of all the one percent deals last year they did.
So interest rates are down. People are moving and shaking
and selling and buying. Go with Elin and Edlin five

Speaker 2 (33:29):
So you're eating the icing. But what I mean, ginger

You know what I've seen people do. Never been blessed
with a wife that would cook for me chocolate chip
cookies with the M and ms on those Wait, how
do they do that?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
The eminem's in a talking to cookie are fantastic.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
But how do they just because why won't they melt
when you bake them?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
The emin m No, it has a coding on the outside.
That's why they're Eminem's melt in your mouth, not your hand.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
They should use that, you should call the Eminem factor.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
They were invented. Eminems were invented for the Second World War.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
So is it true that you fired from the Eminem
factory because you threw out all the w's.
