All right, we are brought to you by the Kentucky
Office of Highway Safety. Please buckle up, put the phone down.
In those construction zones, please slow down. We are in
a beautiful, beautiful place off Shelby Will Road. Here in
lovely Saint Matthews Dwight and your friends. I will say,
you have a lot of clients, but you love these guys.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
I actually I love Craign Landers, I love Larry Craig,
I love Joey Craig, I love Jimmy Smith. They're all
very close friends of mine.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
And I got to tell you, you.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
And I we were blessed to speak on the half
a lot of companies. What people don't understand is the
reason we're so enthusiastic when we talk about the companies
is often we went and we got somebody from sales,
and we said, I really want to represent that brand
because I'm a fan. For example, Barono's Pizza. I was

(00:50):
a fan of that. Craig and Lander and Barono's Pizza
were the first two people.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
That I went.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
I said, I gotta speak on behalf of that company
because I love them and Larry Craig. You're one of
the reasons fifty years. Can you believe you made it
fifty years with Craig and Landreth?

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Time has really flew.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I got to tell you, let's go back fifty years
to nineteen seventy five.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
If Dwight went and where was the first place? Blanton
and Dixie?

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Am I right on?

Speaker 5 (01:15):
It?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Across the street at across the street from Blattin and Dixie. Uh,
next door to Thomas car Warts.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Oh. How big of an outfit was that?

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Thirty five cars in the house trailer for an office.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Thirty five cars in the house trailer with the wood
front wards at front porch.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
I kept slipping out. We had to finally we had
to finally bolt it to the.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Tradelf how many sales guys three or four.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Two at two beginning h third and fourth would come along.
There a guy that a lot of people know, come
to work for me. He's my cousin. Was named Steve Conde. Okay,
oh yeah, and Steven never sold a car before, but
Steve was Steve was a natural. Everybody knew, everybody in
the South end, the Louisville. Everybody liked it.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Hold on, it's just the same Steve kind of that
went on be a realtor. Yes, are you kidding me?
I'm dear friends with Steve? Uh what the church with him?

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Right?

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Until Shaby Christian excommunicated me, we were.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Can you talk to a guy for five minutes to
know whether he's going to be a good salesman? No?

Speaker 4 (02:20):
No, not really. You think you might. It takes longer
than that. You know, salespeople are probably the hardest people
in the world to figure out. Okay, their ability to
communicate with customers is hard for him. Sometimes, you know,
you got to, you gotta. You know, the two best

(02:42):
people that make car salespeople are police officers and bartenders.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
No kidding.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
They know how to talk to all the public.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
They know how to talk to that.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
They can talk to the good, the bad, and the
ugly and do a great job.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Why did you look at me when you said the.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Talked about how that's just a nervous twist, right, This
fiftieth anniversary of Craig and Land with Craig's Best Cars
dot Com.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
By the way, but let's talk about fifty years ago.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
If in nineteen seventy five Dwight went and walked on
your lot and said, hey, Larry, here's the car I'm
looking for to help me out. I wanted to run
on electricity, and by the way, I wanted to drive itself.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
No matter where I go.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Can you imagine how much technology has changed since nineteen
seventy five?

Speaker 4 (03:28):
I mean day day, right right day. If you did
that nineteen seventy five, I'd call nine month one.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Well, there's a lot of regulations now. You can't build
a car like a you know, the Lincoln town Car
in seventy five because there's so much regulation that goes in.
That's why the it's so expensive. But man, what a
time to get into the business. What you know, what
were the big cars in seventy five? Was it the
Lincolns and Cadillacs.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
It was your muscle cars. Yeah, you're Dodge Chargers, your
road Runners, your trans ams, your Z twenty eighths, all
the muscle cars were was popular there. And the thing
about it the price point on these cars. You're talking
about buying a a road Runner that was had five
or six thousand miles hunder for less than five thousand miles.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Let's talk about that for a second, because just looking
into the Witting family, my car is a crick land
of Car. My wife's car is crick landed car, My
mom's car crickle land of Car Brothers, and on and
on and on, Mitch craig landed car cousin. My point
is we all went there and we got the car
that we wanted. For example, I said all the time

(04:37):
of the commercial in twenty nineteen, man, I really wanted
a twenty nineteen G Wrangler. I got a twenty nineteen
G Wrangler and we had two thousand miles on it.
It still had that new car smell, still had the
new car war teeth. But I say, to know, it
now smells like smells like smells like Aiquila and Nicotina,
sweat dog and Tiki. The point had the new car spelled,
new car look, and had the new car war t

(05:00):
and I say thousands of dollars.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
You all have been providing.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
High quality cars, whether it's barely pre owned or a
few years old, fit the budgets. That's going to make
you feel good thinking you supply supplied families.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
You know, Dwight, There's one thing that we always tried
to do, okay, and that was furnish a good product
for our customers. We've not been perfect any way, shape
or form. But anything we've ever done, we've tried to
do it the right way. If somebody has a problem,
they buy a car from us. If somebody has a problem,
if we can help them, we do. Can we never

(05:35):
turn our backs on customers?

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Can I tell you something that absolutely man, get ready
to helpe you got some fast links and get ready
to kiss your ass non stop, but seriously too late.
This is what I really admire about Larry Craig. He's
a genuine guy, and this story proves it. You start
out Craig and Landreth with your buddy Henry Landers, and

(05:58):
two years into it he passes away, but you keep
the Landrath name and the memory of your friend.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Why did you do that?

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Well, first of all, he was a very good friend.
Second of all, he started with me. We started from scratch, okay.
And when I say that scratch, we had lesson scratch okay.
And he worked hard for a little over two years.
We got the bidiness started, and then he had a
he had a boating accident on the Ohio River which

(06:27):
took his life at age thirty one. Of course, he
had no wife, no kids or anything like that. And
we had a We had a private him and I
had a private joke between ourselves that, you know, if
he didn't do what he's supposed to do, I take
his name down. So one night, one night, he come

(06:49):
back in. He'd been he'd been buying cars all day
and he looks at me and he says, you like
them cars I bought. I said no, Oh, you got
to be kidding me. I said, no, I don't like that.
I don't like them. Well, you haven't looked at him?
I said, yeah, I have. He said no you haven't,
And I said, you can keep messing with me. I
take your name down. He gets me by my shirt collary.
Weadh one hundred and thirty pounds so much. He gets

(07:11):
me by my shirt collar, says, promise me, you'll never
take my name down. And so far I'm never taking
his name down, nor will I ever.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah. Did you ever come close to closing doors? Closing down,
closing and just go do something else?

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah? Was there ever a time where you thought, man,
what have I done?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Are we gonna make it? Or the car just got weird?

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Well? My wife used to come by driving a pacer
and he had two little cars, two little kids in
the car with her and she said, can I go
to Kroger's. I said, no, no, you can't go to Krogers.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
What can I do?

Speaker 4 (07:43):
I said, I've got five dollars share of bread and milk. Okay,
And she would take the five dollars, and she somehow survived.
They just survive, And so, no, it's not always been easy.
Nobody nobody left me any money. When I was virtually broken.
I went in business. Okay, everything I had had tars
and wheels on it, and we built a business up
over the years. And thank the Good Lord for our customers.

(08:06):
Our customers were good to us. We do a lot
of people. I've been blessed in many many ways. My employees.
I've had some of the best employees that God could
ever create. And I've had some of the worst too.
But anyway, that's neither here nor there. But I'm really
thankful that we made it fifty years, and I'm really

(08:28):
thankful for the way we we did.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
We made it.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
Our our trip has been great, and we hope that
with my son, my grandson, my granddaughter, my youngest son,
that there's fifty more years into spitsiness.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
You don't want to this is a beautiful place. By
the way, I don't read. I can't imagine you thinking
about that first trailer thirty five and they walked around
this lot. Go I can't believe it's this now.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
It was an experience. It was an experience. We had
a trailer that they kept breaking in the back door,
steal onto our phones out.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's probably me we had, It's probably be my friends.
We had Kevin Bratcher.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
We had a front deck on for a porch that
wouldn't stage steel the guy in the build. It didn't
hook it to the trailer. And if you didn't watch it,
when you walk out the door, you fall down the crack.
So we we've had But all of it's been fun.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
The journey has been absolutely a great journey for me.
Yeah yeah, And like I said, sometimes we got hungry
and sometimes we didn't. But it's been a great journey.
If I had to do it all over again, I
don't know whether I do anything any different.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Can I tell you something I find absolutely fascinating, But
it's still it doesn't surprise me a bit. And that's
the returning customers to Craig Intlanders, and including me, They
just keep coming back because they found their home. When
comes to purchasing a legitimate, pre owned vehicle, that's kind

(09:56):
of make you feel good when you see the same
family faces, and even better when you see the generations,
then the son, then the grandson or daughter, whoever it
might be, walks through your doors. It's got to make
you feel good. I know it's a service, it's your job.
But at the same time, man, right, you.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Know you know you've done something right. Yeah, when you
when you get several generations of people. I went out
to out in Bullet County to the funeral home here
about a year ago, and I walked in the funeral
home and the funeral director looked at me and says, Larry,
are you storing cars on my lot? I said, what
do you mean? He's come on in and I want

(10:33):
to show you something. We walked around the parking lot.
We probably had one hundred cars there to had Craigan
land of license plate. That's awesome. And I looked at
the funeral director. I said, that's why I'm here. The
family in here is probably about fifty Wow.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Wow okay, and.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
So you know that's how much we appreciate.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
That is crazy, man, How do you buy cars like
money money. First of all, you got to.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Find the car, okay, And we have several sources that
we buy cars from and have for years and years.
Now the internet's a big play, a big player order,
you know, the biggest used car lot in the world's Internet.
And so business has changed and availability is a whole
lot better than it used to be. I used to
leave here and be gone three days at a time,

(11:25):
driving through states, buying cars and shipping them back here.
Now I can do the same thing and never leave
my office. So it's got easier, and it's really got
cheaper because the internet's free, you know, except for what
you know, your Mustley fees are.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Here's something else I want to bring up about Larry Craig.
By the way, Craig and Land are Craig's best cars.
I comm fifty That adversary fifty years is absolutely incredible.
But Tony and I we get to see the inside
of a lot of industries.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
It is very telling.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
For example, beer companies will be out with a beer
somebody that runs a beer company, and they'll run into
a competitive there is no love there.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Same with other car lots.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
We've been out with the other people at car lots
and they say, oh, there's such and such from this.
Here's one thing I'll say, Craig and Landrath, you do
a lot, you give back and as a result, I
see you all at a lot of functions, and I'll
see competitors come up to you and it's not a.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
It's hey, Larry. Every it seems like that.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Everyone, even within your industry has respect for you, because
I've never seen anybody have a crossword from you in
your industry.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Well one reason to half of them has probably worked
force at one time. Yeah, half of them has probably
worked force one time or another. And then I've been
on the Motor Vehicle Commission. Okay, I've been chairman of
ka DA. I've been chairman of Greater Little Automobile Delercs Association,
and I've tried to give back to the automobile business

(12:54):
to help people that need help. Card Delercer has got
a bad rep. And there's some good and bad like
and everything, yes, but basically car dealers, most of the
car dealers are out here trying to make a living
doing what's right, and they get twisted up sometime and
do stupid things. But I've tried to help this industry
more than anything else, because that's what it's helped me.

(13:14):
But we've did a lot of work and a lot
of help to dealers that needed it. And if you
got a bad dealer and he's going bad, you sent
him down and talk to him, tell him what he
needs to do, and you maybe turned him into a
good dealer.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
And that's I've had many conversations with many different dealers
all over the state and everything, and we've tried to
help them and I think we've changed a lot of
them Outlook so proud of that.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Over the fifty years, it probably went in waves. You know,
you sold a lot of Lincolns, and you sold a
lot of cameras. Is there any car that you think
you sold the most of You.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
Know it's somebody asked me one day, he said, you've
sold a lot of cars. What's your favorite car? I
bet you don't even have a favorite car? I said,
I do, I do, I got one. Are there's one
word that describes my favorite car, and that's sold.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, But you get in these cars now, we they're
like spaceships.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Oh I got We've got customers that buy cars. That
is in my age group. Okay, they come back five
or six, seven, eight, ten times to learn how to
operate everything right, and we don't mind it. And our
people are so good they teach them and if they
come back they can't. My phone, my phone won't pair
up with my car anymore. Somebody goes out and helps

(14:36):
some of this, that and the other, and hell, they
have to help me.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
He's talking to me.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
No, but that's kind of service you don't get everywhere.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
No, you're right, You're absolutely right. Craig's Best Cars I
com fifty years. Can't believe fiftieth anniversary.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Larry Craig and.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Tony was asking you when you start out in seventy five,
what was the most popular car.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
You said, muscle cars.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
I got it that after smoking the bandit it was
pretty It was pretty hard to keep a transam on
the lot.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah, we bought. We bought ten brand new, smoky and
abandoned cars.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
When they first come out. We ordered cars from different dealers,
one at a time, all over the state. And my
wife thought it was the most beautiful car she ever seen.
So we put her and them two kids in one,
and every time she comes a lot, we take her
out of it and sell it. She ended back up

(15:33):
in that pacer.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Okay, real, real quick story about that.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
After that came out and that car was so popular,
Burt Renolds did cars, and they told Carson Johnny said,
he said, look, after I did this, they were so
pleased that Pontiac said, hey, you're gonna get a lifetime
supply of trans ams. Burt Reynolds was so every year.
But then the CEO died and that stopped.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
He said, I thought he was talking about my life.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
But my buddy's got one and it's a two of
tea too, and he built it out. Whatever they're worth,
they're worth more now than they all selling bies for
you to add.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
You know the cars now, these old cars now. I
used to sell brand new Corvettes in nineteen sixty seven
for fifty five hundred dollars. Oh wow, I can sell
you a brand new Corvett com Orb for fifty five
hundred dollars now, and today that same cars one hundred
and twenty aren't thirty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah, if it's a good shape.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
Joey my son said, Dad, when you were selling them
cars in nineteen sixty seven, why don't you buy a
bunch of them, put them in the garage, I said, Joey,
I was trying to feed you.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
What least Craig of Labras stored. Because I grew up
my wife should grow on Blant Lane and Dixie Highway.
And I remember there was a when Deloria came out.
You all got a dolore and you said it right
there on the sidewalk. And every time we went to
the cow Palace on Sunday that was a big held
to day. We had to ride by that damn Delareate.
So I tried to talk to my uncle Edward and

(17:00):
into buying it.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
I wanted him to have that so bad.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
But it's funny how a movie or something like that
would influence a car and next thing, you know.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
It's the hottest item there is.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
It's it's amazing. You know, you you take and it's
changed now. You know a lot of back when kids
would come in in our area in the seventies, they
would want a muscle car. Kids today want toyotas. Don't
care if it's Appard or Hondai. You know, something small,
something good on gas, and I mean really a whole

(17:28):
lot more serviceable than a muscle car, so you know
it's changed what people's likes and dislikes are.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Uh. Best, you got a name for me? For best
sales person ever?

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Best sales person ever? I would say I have two names.
I have two names, and maybe even you know, I
probably could give you ten names. Okay, But when I
go back to the best sales person ever, I think
about a guy named Paul Miller who's been here forty years.
He retired from sales about five years ago and went

(18:03):
home and sat home, and now he comes back and
he does running forest and everything. But he was one
of the best salesman I ever had another one that
I didn't think was ever going to make a salesman,
and he was a constant problem, uh constant painting the butt.
But his name, his name was Buddy fanel And and

(18:28):
we heard we hard Buddy because he was a friend
of Haskell Moores. And Haskell said, I went to high
school with him. I'm his friend. I can't teach him
that you teach him. So I had him for about
three months and I said, Haskell, I'm gonna ship him
off to you. He's he's a lost cause. He's a
lost cause. So I send him to send him to Haskell,

(18:51):
and Haskell keeps him about three months and calls me up, said,
you know, he's not going to make it. And I said,
you know, he's such a nice guy. He said, I know,
I know. I said, I'm gonna ship him back down
to you so you can fire him. I said, I
don't really want to fire him, but if that's what
we got to do, it's what we got to do.
And he come back and something happened. I can't hardly
remember exactly what it was that turned him around, and

(19:15):
he became one of the best salesmen that we ever had.
He sell twenty five he self, twenty five cars a month,
had customers that would sit and wait for him for
three hours. Wow, if he was a business.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
A great story.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
One last, one, last story, and I'll let you go.
So you're a busy man now but soon to be retired. Uh,
let's talk about Jimmy Smith. Oh, he starts out selling
cars with you. Fast forward and he decides that he
wants to buy a franchise, and now he's a successful
that's got to make you feel good too that he.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Says, you know, Jimmy's my oldest son. We're no blood can.
But Jimmy's my old son.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Because you said, because you said, you have said that.
You know a lot of people when they come to
Craig Landrath and then they move on and start their
own lot. He had so much integrity and he had
so much love for you. He wasn't going to do that.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
He could have did that, but he went with the
Craignlanders brand.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
You know, I still have a hard time with Jimmy today. Jimmy,
Jimmy don't want me quitting, Okay, and not from I've
been to standpoint, from my personal standpoint, but I'm very fortunate.
I have Jimmy Smith, and I have his two sons,
and then I have my son Joey, which Joey's been here.
We used to have to he was so small. We
had to help him drag the holes okay, to watch

(20:27):
the dart. And then I got my grandson, my granddaughter here,
my youngest son. I'm blessed.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
I was going to say, I was gonna say, because
Joey also took the reins and now his son Joey.
It's amazing the whole Craig family. But listen, Larry Craig,
Craignlander fifty years. I got to tell you, man, you're
a little icon and the city is better. I'm not
just saying that because I know publicly and privately some

All right, Tina, Joey, We're gonna make you answer this
question and the rest can can jump in if you
get if you think you don't know it, it's a
multiple choice, okay, it's a physics. YouTube was launched in
nineteen ninety nine or two thousand and five. YouTube was
launched in nineteen ninety nine or two thousand and five. Joey,

(26:44):

Two thousand and five.

Yes, I gotta go. Five.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
Yeah, Johnny, do you can get agree with five?

I got nervous on that.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Good job, buddy, nervous on that? All right? The rest
of these questions are Christmas questions. Okay, so the rest
of the five are Christmas questions. You've lost one. You've
got a little room here, So here we go. Question
number six, Before turkey was common for Christmas in England,
what did they.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Eat their neighbors.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
It's a very cannibalistic society in England, and you would
eat your neighbor to celebrate.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
In a Christmas carol, the Cratchet's eat goose.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
It's a goose.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
It's a good final answer, goose or your neighbor.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
No, yeah, it's either one.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
No, No neighbors read goose? Was the meal that you ate?

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Have you read the original Christmas story? It is a
horrifying story.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
A Christmas carol? Oh yeah, yeah, yea, yeah, it's my favorite.
Here we go, multiple choice. Joey will go back to you.
The first string lights for Christmas trees were invented in
what century? Eighteen hundreds or nineteen hundreds.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Oh, I want to say eighteen hundreds, just because I
want to say nineteen hundreds.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Does that make sense? No, nineteen hundreds.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
But that seems like the logical answer, which makes me
gonna go eighteen hundreds.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Right, Okay, I'm putting this Joey.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
What's the answer eighteen hundreds or nineteen hundreds?

Speaker 5 (28:25):

Final answer? Yeah, do you want you trump him? John Man?

Speaker 5 (28:31):
Does that mean anything to say? Eighteen hundreds?

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Final answers nineteen hundred and eighteen eighty.

All right, we're up against eighteen eighty.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Was the first time they put string Christmas lights? Oh?

You can't a house man. I can't fat Dwight can
knock into my bed.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Last, all right, Dwight gets you ready. You've missed two.
If you get any of the three questions wrong, the
kids will suffer. The kids will not get the money
for crusade. How many multiple choice? How many towns in
America are named Christmas? Is it two or two hundred?

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Well, it depends on how many hallmarks one of these
you watch because they always break down in Christmas town.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
You know, half those towns in those movies are real
and the Jada.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Ceo falls in love with the mechanic. I want to
say too, but I also want to say two hundred
because it's ridiculous. John Alden, you know that I'm horrible
when it comes to geometry.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Remember if you miss this, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
Two hundred towns in America with the name Christmas. There's
no way.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Okay, what were the choices a geat how much?

Speaker 5 (29:53):
It's two hundred or two hundred? It's too it's two.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Godly all right, I'll go with this Cereal eater two,
I guess so.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yeah, Oh my.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Reason.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
I just thought it was gonna be two hundred.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Christmas Michigan and Christmas, Flora are the only two towns
name for Christmas. I thought that was a difficult question
because you think, oh, it's gotta be a Christmas Indiana,
a Christmas Artist and Santa Cals Indiana. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, Hey, hey, Joey Craig, have you ever been through
anything as exciting as this in your career?

Speaker 1 (30:32):
All right? Yeah, sales guys, get a calculator because I'm
gonna give you thirty seconds to answer this. I made
this question. I didn't realize you all would already miss
two questions. I'm gonna give you a full forty seconds
to answer this question. In total of the twelve days
of Christmas, how many gifts are given?

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Oh my gosh, well there's twelve. Well okay, there's partries
and a paratreet. So number one starts as too, right,
because it's two gifts. It's number one. It's a partridge
in a paratree. Is that count as one gift or too?

Speaker 4 (31:09):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Twelve plus eleven you're never gonna.

Speaker 5 (31:11):
I think I know the number. Okay, I think it's
seventy nine.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
No, that doesn't shut right.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
You're not just adding all the numbers together.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
No, because let's give you a skip butt. Let's give
you a skip button.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
Okay, will you explain this question at the end?

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yes? I will, o man, Yes, I will.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
A party in a paratree? You know what gift?

Speaker 1 (31:34):
No, I won't explain it because the next person that
comes in and tells me what the total number is
for twelve days of Christmas?

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Ready to do something big?

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Here?

Speaker 3 (31:42):
I see this stupid look.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
It's gonna get the two nights day at at Aubrey Land.
Oh tell me the number. We're on Shelbyville Road Craig
and Landreth. Oh my god, you tell me what that
number is and I will give you the hotel. Stay
at Gailor. I've been here before when I covered you. Well,
were down there in Nashville a couple of times. It's
a beautiful place. So two days stay if you tell

(32:04):
me the number. Last question, multiple choices. Oh no, what
country is credited by starting the first traditional Christmas tree
in the sixteenth century? Was it Germany or Britain?

Speaker 5 (32:23):
My brain went to Germany before you said anything.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Mine did too.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
But well you are German because the song Oh Christmas
Tree was originally called O Tanneenbaum, which is German.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Right. No, look at.

Speaker 5 (32:36):
John, look at John the producer.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Technically it was sixteen forty seven and John William.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
I believe Claude von Schnuten. This is for the children's
let's do it, babe, Let's say German.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
The answer is, and will the kids get the money?
They will the same country that crempus comes from. Germany.
Good job, Joey, good jobs.

with that, Joey, Craig, Joey, good.

idea what they want or they just kind of looking
the time? Yeah? Do you love the person that's already
gone to the internet and has the price and here's
what and they kind of argue with you a little
bit and no whole deal? No, No, you're okay if
they come in prepared. Yeah, all right, absolutely, Well, this
