Speaker 1 (00:00):
And this is the place. If you don't have the
time to come in and sit down on a hot day,
cool inside here, you can just drop on by and
get it for your ride home. I know now after
trying this, I've I got a scar on my arm
proof that I've been in some pizza ovens in my
life and this was one. Know. I'm going to say
(00:21):
it's the best Detroit style pizza that I've had. Has
anybody ever been to Detroit and had Detroit style pizza?
See Kate, he's on his way. You have all right,
Thank you, man, see you later. He's been there and
had it. I've been there and had it, and this
is better. And isn't it great when you mix in
(00:41):
sports and food. I was trying over the last few
months to kind of get back to watching the Carbs
and all. But when that the opening game last weekend,
I did it. I went to the store and I said,
I'm going in and Fatty Daddy mode, I am rolling in.
I got my Nathan's high hot dogs. I even went
with the fancy buns. Yeah showing off, aren't I. I
(01:05):
had some bacon on them, some grilled onions, mustard. I
lit a piece of log on fire with a fire
starter on my little habachi out there, just real quick
through the hot dogs on their closed the lid. They
were perfect in fifteen minutes. Some kettle style chips, and
I haven't had pepsi in the house, but I did
for the Fatty Daddy weekend. We're talking food and it
(01:27):
goes right along with sports, and today we're talking some
of the best ninety nine crab pizza and also sports
because tomorrow, of course, Georgia Southern's coming to town. As
c K was saying, they're coming to town, I'm going
to pay the play the dogs, and then they're staying
out here for the week because they're gonna be going
down to USC as well. The uh. I know, I
(01:48):
was bragging about the fancy hot dog buns. I solved
this story today, and I would have thought this would
be way higher than this. This is realature dot com
percent percentage of Americans can afford a home in this market?
What percentage do you think of Americans could afford home?
You think it's over fifty percent. No, it's twenty eight percent.
(02:11):
Twenty eight percent of homes currently for sale across the
country are affordable for a typical US household. We were
talking with Isaiah's talking about football players back in seven oh,
eight oh ninety. You know, have been a big deal
to go in McDonald's to have he's like pocket change money. Sure,
the economy has shown we've had some growth. We serge
past expectations. As the headlines say, investments sore. Gross domestic
(02:34):
product rows at three point three percent, but twenty eight percent.
I wonder that's Americans. According to relature dot com, what
would that be in California eight percent, eighteen percent. I
don't know what it would be. Home price for a
median income household has fallen to two hundred ninety eight thousand,
so they're going back a little bit, uh two hundred
(02:57):
ninety eight that would be a deal steel in the
state of California. The mortgage rates during the man made
lockdown and all the remote work that went in, and
it led to an explosion of home buying across the country.
Between twenty twenty and twenty twenty two, there was a
lack of inventory across the US, So maybe it'd a
turn back into some kind of a buyer's market. I
(03:19):
feel so bad. I think back to when I was young.
I'm sure no. Nineteen eighty four, first time out of
the house going to Chico. Moved out with my best
friend from since ninth grade, and we had a really
decent two bedroom, one bath. We didn't live around all
the college students. We lived a little bit on the
outskirts in a apartment complex in eighty four. There was
(03:41):
probably built in the you know, mid seventies or something.
To us, it still had a newer look to it.
Three hundred dollars. I had one, fifteen, he had one fifty.
And you could do it. You could move out on
your own as young people. Then. I even remember in
nineteen eighty nine in Colorado Springs, beautiful apartment that looked
at the rocky mountains there nor Rad. I'd always stare
(04:05):
up at it, going that we're gonna be melted if
there's a nuclear war. I can see nor Rad. But
that was like three hundred and ten dollars in nineteen
eighty nine in Colorado, with a fireplace and a balcony.
It was so much more doable. I just you think of,
you know, individuals by themselves, but then you think of
people to get married young and and all of that.
(04:26):
You just can't do it in California. I don't know
how people are I see up there off Frying and Copper.
There's that new Valero they built there. They got good
breakfast burritos in the morning walking there, and the place
smells like bacon, just makes you go crazy. But these
beautiful apartments they built up there, they have like swimming pools,
you know, on the third floor kind of place, and
(04:49):
expresso bars and they're just beautiful. I haven't gone in
a tourtum, but I did look at them online and
like a two bedrooms like twenty four to twenty five
hundred dollars. And I see all these young people walking
out walk and their dogs going into Valero. And the
reason I know the rents because I've been like, hey,
I noticed you came out of the gate there. How
much of those a running you? And they seem so
young to afford that, And I think it's probably four
(05:12):
or five people living in an apartment for many of
those individuals over there, it's not just a roommate situation anymore.
And I think, you know what kind of industries are
the people that are affording that? Coming from here. I
used to think back ten years ago, eight years ago,
six years ago, when you'd say the media and one
bedroom price in San Francisco, can you believe it? It's
(05:32):
three thousand dollars for an apartment? And here I am
talking about apartments a few miles from where I sit
right here that are inching up closer and closer to
that every day. If I told you ten years ago
that Fresno rent would turn into some outskirts of the
Bay Area, you would have been like, no, how's that
gonna Well, it's happened. And I still sometimes when I
(05:54):
drive the I guess it's the Tennessee in me. But
I like back roads. I just I'm a back rope person.
If I got to go where I lived somewhere in Clovis,
I don't take the busier streets. I take the outskirt streets.
I just like it. And my outskirt streets now aren't
the outskirt streets they were eight years ago, because now
(06:15):
and I'm like, where are all these people coming from?
These new subdivisions that are being built out there. It's
like I remember some it used to be an orchard
where people would ride bikes on this path, and now
you don't drive by it. In six months and suddenly
there's a big, huge build up. I don't know, Well,
I guess our last census. Well, let's don't get into
(06:36):
the census, but I think we can say that probably
more growth here than maybe we're even getting credit for
as well. But price is skyrocketed after the man made lockdown,
and home prices went up by forty three percent between
twenty nineteen and twenty twenty two nationwide forty three percent.
(06:57):
That's beyond and even got worse after the organs. Rates
shot through the roof, and well, we'll see maybe some
of those would be be coming down. I did see
this GV wire Farah Martin Pharaoh. If that's the name
your mom gave you, I love that. Tell your mom
she gave you a great name. Isn't that a cool name? Fhara?
Oh Mark, what's your name? My name is Pharaoh? Martin Uh.
(07:20):
He wrote, Fresno versus Clovis, which city is cheaper to
live in? Right now? Well, I think we would know
that right out the bat, wouldn't we Fresno way more
affordable than Clovis. Fresnoe's median home price one hundred and
thirty four thousand dollars lower than Clovis. Why can they
charge more incredible schools? Why can they charge more way
(07:40):
less crime? See see how that betters the city two
cities basically, you know, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Dallas Fort Worth
are further apart than Fresno and Clovis. It's one big city.
But when you hit that city limit sign, you do
see some changes. You don't see as many transients, you
don't see as much graffiti, you don't see as much
(08:03):
empty lots with nothing in it, and you know, shopping
carts sitting in it. So that's why the home price
is one hundred and thirty four thousand higher the Fresne
median home price July this year, three hundred and eighty
four thousand dollars Clovis over half a million. Bravo, bravo.
And I know they as they say, quickest way to
(08:27):
get rich in America. They've been saying it forever since
we started building log cabins. Moving west was buy real estate.
A lot of people made a lot of money, and
that's good, but renters less dramatic difference. Fresno. It's two
hundred and eighty nine dollars for a one bedroom in
Clovis one thousand, four hundred and seventy. I guess people
(08:49):
can afford to pay more because in Clovis to make
a little bit more, households earn more incomes at eighty
nine thousand, and Fresno is fifty seven thousand, two hundred
and eleven. So if you're making some money out there,
Fresno County, the median household income is seventy one thousand.
Average family sizes three individuals. Again, that's median household income
(09:11):
seventy one thousand, and that can be a few people
working as well. There was beyond the home prices. There's
actually the three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars that
was the median price in two thousand and nineteen. Today
people are just having too many issues getting in and
(09:34):
we've heard the you know, the fast food, the median
age wage twenty dollars going up, the minimum wage there
and how Sacramento just I guess they had a big
old meeting in a room and they all said, all right,
let's sniff out some socialist ideology here. Let's have the
government blend in with business. What industry should we go after?
(09:57):
Think of all the industries there are in California that
the government could have stepped in and stated to them,
you must pay this much. Why just fast food? Why
did they just go to fast food? I still never
had that answered. I don't understand it. Why didn't they
go to other industries and do this. I think they
just wanted to test the market out there to see
(10:19):
how we would respond to it. We've lost ten thousand
fast food jobs, a lot of it. We've seen the
prices go up. Now, I'm not against people making money.
I want people to make money, but it needs to
be with the demand of the market that demands what
people pay. What kind of living wage you need in
Presnel County? What would you need now? What does your
paycheck cover basic living expenses? If you earn right now?
(10:43):
Minimum wage in California is sixteen dollars and fifty cents.
That's nine dollars higher than the federal minimum wage, and
that includes Presnel County. And I think what's missing a
lot in these in this argument is I never understood
minimum wage was supposed to be so that I could
like move out stand alone, especially in California. Now, again,
(11:05):
there were different times. I think in nineteen eighty four,
if I'm remembering right, minimum wage was three dollars and
thirty five cents. And I remember what a big deal
it was in high school in eighty two, eighty three,
eighty four to work at my buddy's uncle's trap club
down their dangerous jobs, sitting down underneath the earth, but
putting clay pigeons on this machine pull shots going over
(11:28):
your head. That paid five bucks an hour. That was
amazing back then. It's like what you're making five bucks
an hour? Yeah, living wage. That's the rate that somebody
needs to earn to support themselves. And they say it's
over two thousand hours per year Fresno County. If you're
a single adult with no kids, they said twenty three
(11:49):
dollars an hour. It goes all the way up to
when you have a kid. They say, then you need
forty one dollars an hour. And I was looking at
that and I go, one kid, how does that ye
double it? I went, hog, wish mortgage or rent that's
in car payment, electric bill that doesn't double because there's
a child in there. Food might go up a little bit,
(12:10):
but how does how does that double? And then it
dawned on me childcare that's why that would that's why
that would double. They said, a single adult living a
loan in President County needs forty eight grand a year
before taxes to be able to live in this state.
But again, feeling sorry for those younger first time home buyers,
(12:34):
I know they have some plans and some things that
can get in there and make things work. Right now,
there's one point nine million homes for sale across the country,
and hopefully we'll see some prices drop and maybe some
people can get back in the mix. And if you
don't have the kind of money that it takes to
go buy a home, or if you don't have the
money to get Presidol State football tickets, I can take
(12:56):
care of half of that problem there. We're giving them away.
Big game tomorrow against Georgia Southern. Kickoff is going to
be at six thirty. Pre game five thirty. K and
his party will splast at four thirty, and Bulldog Boulevard
opens at three thirty. It's going to be the first
game of the year. So I want you to come
(13:18):
out and play some cornhole, which on Presno State Fridays
has been renamed to corn Dog Hole, and you can
play to win some incredible Detroit style pizza from ninety
nine Craft Pizza and Presno State four packs to the
Dogs home opener early evening six thirty Valley Children's Stadium.
It's the Trevor Nation All Over the Place Tour twenty
(13:39):
twenty five Live from ninety nine Craft Pizza at Palm
and n. So good to have k with me Ck
on Sports Fox Sports thirteen forty for the first hour.
You can come by play corn dog hole. That's how
we do it. Well, that's how we make the throw,
That's how it goes. Fresno City Council Member Nick Richardson
is going to be joining us at five o'clock on
(13:59):
the show. Oh uh, he'll be in here at five o'clock.
And uh we got to ask him about this intersection
at PAULM and Knees. I do not know who designed
that one, but boy, I tell you so. If you're
coming in, look for the shell station right there off
Knees and then come back right into the uh into
(14:19):
the parking lot there as well. I'd like to, Uh, hey, John,
you want to sit down with me? Man? We got
a mic right there for him. John Cleveland the owner
of ninety nine Craft and as I found out, uh
brother of the back c K was just all excited
about that. I I was not aware of the fact
that your brother, but I'm I'm just as excited to
(14:40):
meet you as well. A guy that can make a pizza.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Like that, Thank you, thank you. No, he was impressive.
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
That goes back to the uh My brother started coaching
there in the early eighties Clovis West and went to
Present City College and then jumped to Division one B
y U. So it was a shock to all of.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Us, but extremely exciting.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Time indeed, and you said no more pickup right? I
guess the old knees don't want to do it anymore.
I saw you, wasn't that you on your bike when
I pulled up?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Was?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Did you have your bike up there?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
That was not my bike?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Okay, you were on the phone. I thought, Okay, who's
this bike rider out here in the heat? What a
what a go getter.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
It's been a while since I've been on a bike
as well.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
When did you open ninety nine Craft? How long's you
been here in Preston? We opened one week before the
COVID lockdown. Wouldn't that be horrible for a restaurant that
opened one week before a COVID lockdown.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah, I mean, and that was the idea. We came
into this small spot, wanted to be careful, didn't want to,
you know, get too big a space, knowing that COVID
could hit again or something could happen. So we opened
up in August of twenty twenty two, just as it
was ending.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Right right, And had you ever thought about doing this before?
What did you do before you opened.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
The Actually I'm an insurance broker, okaying that for twenty
eight years. And we start this up with a friend
of mine and with the idea we'd bring in pros,
and we have.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Who's the proback there?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Okay, we got Sabrina back there.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I met, I met Sabrina. Russell's the one that there
is he the is he the ingredient guy?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
He is.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
He's on the line today, So yes, And Sabrina, who
looks like she's seventeen's actually twenty seven, been doing pizzas.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
For overt HR violation. Owner. You can't say things.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Like oh, no, I'm sorry, that's right, HR.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Violation, HR violation. Hey you got a funny cris They're
all laughing. You guys, have a fun time back there, it's.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
A lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Do you deliver?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
So we do. We use door dash as the delivery
starvery yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, but come on in here. It's a nice design.
Do you pick out the artwork up there?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
So that was my partner put these together back in
the day. And so we're probably gonna have a two
point zero version coming here within the next you know,
three to four months.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I assume that means Highway ninety nine by the design
around the ninety nine kind of like a freeway sign. Correct,
I'm looking right on that.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Right, So that was the idea right now, and then let's.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Name our place after the most dangerous freeway in.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
America, which I spent probably half my life on.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Okay, now, okay, here's my theory. Tell me your theory.
You spend a lot more time on it. It runs
down a major corridor that has La San Diego freak
boys trying to get to Reno and so they can
get their blow for their you know, they're in a hurry.
And then you've got the wife of the farmer that
wants to go from Kingsburg to Tillarry and she merges
(17:48):
on at forty seven, where their blinker on for another
few more miles, not knowing if she's changed. So it's
that inner it's a it's a connection like that because
you have rural people that use it because it's quicker, right,
and that creates that I call it the most unstable
feeling highway freeway I've ever been on in my life. Unnerving, unnerving.
(18:09):
It's like it's a race. People want to be in
first place and they never get there.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, there's a few on ramps that seem like they're
about ten feet long and you're competing with a semi Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, those were designed in nineteen fifty three, weren't they. Yeah,
eisenhowerd that was the first and they'd never changed it.
Now would you say ninety nine is unnerving. I'm not
putting down the name of your place.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I experiences.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Well, here's where you come in and calm down with it.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
But unfortunately I like the normally on there, not during
the busy times. I try to be.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah, oh yeah, I tell you that. Well, we're going
to talk about the intersection out here with City Council
of Nick Richardson when he comes in as well. But
there are so many businesses hidden back in here that
you don't know that are all back here, right. This
is a when you drive around back in this neck
of the woods here, and not a lot of any
people come up to this part of town that often.
(19:02):
But there's a lot going on here, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
There is.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
You know, in fact, maybe that the city council could
allow it. You turn right up here at this light,
you know whereas you come in down autumn.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Well, I know the guy that's gonna be talking to him,
so I'll bring that up. I'll have that guy bring
that up for you.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
So it is a little tricky.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Let me write this, so we needed I'm going I'm
making my list right now. Hang on, let me go
to my five o'clock. We're here, Okay, you turn or
anything else? What else you need?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Well, yes, write something on taxes.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, I feel like a drop you need to drop
on taxes? Well, right, drop on taxes, all right? Anything else?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Well, you know what maybe, well myself.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
You power to come up with come up with that,
to come up with it.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Here you are hitting somewhat hidden. Hey, fortunately over the
last six months seem to be more visible.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Hey, here's what I do not like about businesses, any
kind of commercial any kind of promotion when they don't
tell me how much, so I'm gonna have to come
out the pocket to knock it. So I'm just gonna
ask you that big four I would say that would
feed a husband and a wife, and the wife wouldn't
eat her third piece, and the dew would have it
(20:12):
for breakfast the next morning. Big slices there, that fourth
piece thing that I just ate? What are a part
of it? I hate? What does that run?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
That's twenty dollars?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Okay, wow? Five bucks a piece for this?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I really thought you were going to say twenty nine
ninety nine to keep it under third I really did.
I thought it was going to be that much. So now, hey,
how hard has it been? I read the numbers all
the time with the price of cheese and butter and
everything going up. Tell us how that hits you?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Oh no, definitely, it's uh.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
You know this business, you just have to stay tight,
very watch it very closely, or it will get away
from you.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, cheese, I mean, you're.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Not cutting You're not cutting back. That's what I had
to ask. You're not cutting back. That's that's a lot
on there.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, we got to give it.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
We got to make sure that people are getting a
value out of this, so they come back.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Okay, So I haven't been through a fast food drive through,
but I remember going through one where I won't say
the name of the place, but I ordered a Western
bacon cheeseburger and and then I with a meal and
I was really in a fatty daddy. I threw a
shake on and this was just a few years ago,
and it was like seventeen dollars and I was freaked
out by that. So when you say that pizza is twenty,
that's that's a good deal.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, I think so, yeah, yeah it can they fill
you app? It'll feel a few people, all.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Right, somebody has been sitting at work for the last
hour and a half or driving around and they're like, Okay,
I heard three dudes freak out over this, and I
don't freak out over food to that degree. It was
really really good. But if it hit them, can they
call before they leave or call in?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Definitely? Could we on that app?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You got the app, scan the iris, they.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Could go online, they can call, So, yeah, we try
to make it be as commodating as possible.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
All Right, this would be a good time to tell
that phone number, I would think.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Right, we'll we'll first off, this would probably be a
good time, but we've got we are trying to promote
them getting on the app right.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Tell them how to do it. So we're like, we
got the are we gonna have to get a young
person here to explain this? Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
You probably will?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Young people. Can somebody that works here explain the app?
We don't know. Together, we're over one hundred. You know
what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Well, I gotta tell you, you know, viral. Oh sorry, we've
been viral here. I did have to download the app, Trevor.
You know, so I had to get by your own pizza.

eight three eighty nine fifteen will lack like those commercials
on TV. Man, Uh, I've been sitting here, get to
know John a little bit. Seek was all uh enthrall
with the fact your brother being the big coach that
he was. And of course, uh, I just found out
a little bit that you were running around the deserts
(24:51):
of northern Chile. And I know it's Chile not Chili,
because I had a friend that moved from Chile and
he said his mom, on the first day school in
America made him wear to like the fifth grade, a
three piece suit and he said he stood out like
a chileansor thumb. But Pete was a good guy. But
tell us about your ventures down there. You just never
know what people have gone through in their life.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
No, it was probably one of the richest experiences I've
had serving for my church Church, Jewish Christ, the latterday Saint.
So I was there for two years in the Atacama Desert,
the driest desert in the world.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Was that your if I'm recalling right, your mission that
you went on, and what age was that?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I was nineteen and there too for two years? And
back in Should I tell the year I was there?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
We're dudes, it's okay, okay, yeah, nineteen eighty eight. Okay,
So you were down there running around the northern deserts.
How did that change alter effect your life when you
got back here? See, I've never left America, and I
need to Well, I've been to La but I've never
left America.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I mean, I think there's not a day that goes by.
I don't think about it in some experience. And it
gave me an opportunity to really grow up, connect with
the people. And I think the biggest transition was coming
back to the United States. Right, it just felt much colder,
and with you know, the families there, you could go
(26:16):
with the drop ey their house at ten thirty. They're
welcoming in, giving you whatever they have. So it was
night at night.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Now we didn't I called the police in my door
at night isn't that funny how it used to be?
I saw a comedian talking about how it used to
be how ring the doorbell and the kids would slide
across in their socks, all excited. Hey, companies here. We
don't do that as much anymore, do we. Do you
(26:44):
think as much as I think that now that we're
a few years out of the man made lockdown, that
it altered society a little more than we thought it would,
or we thought we might bounce out differently. Do you
think how did it change as well?
Speaker 3 (26:57):
I think the fact that I look at my phone
now to see who's rung the doorbell probably a good indicator. Right,
we're gonna yeah, so I've gone that path, right, So here,
who's this? We're not answering the door and so yeah,
I think it has changed.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah. I was talking with c. K and I brought
it up during the show, something that he told me
a couple of years ago. He's like, man, I kind
of miss it, and I go, what what? And he goes, yeah,
our neighbors we'd all get together because we couldn't go anywhere,
there was nothing else to do. We all got together
and we started doing it every week and he said,
it felt like like back in the day when people
get together and play cards and hang out and knew everybody,
(27:37):
and then when life came back to quote normal, that
they didn't do it as much.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
No.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
In fact, during that period made and ate a lot
of pizzas. Yeah, so that was you know, I think
this venture came out of that period and dealing with
some tough issues that the daughter was very sick, and
so we were home cooking, baking, and I found some
(28:04):
comfort in that.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah. You flash back to that desert at times?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yes, yes, No, do you.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Still have people down there that you met that you
still stay in contact with these years later?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Well, the world has shrunk now we're all friends on Facebook.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Let's wait is a facebook? That's Instagram? What is it now?
I think I just aged myself.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
You didn't say my Space, but that's all right, that's
all right. What did they do wrong?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Did we ever figure out what my Space did wrong?
And suddenly how everybody just said, ah, you're nothing. How
did that happen? Because that was like the big thing,
you know, and then suddenly it wasn't. Somebody needs to
do a crash course history and how that happened and
what they did wrong and what Facebook provided that that
MySpace didn't.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
And I think I skipped my Space, so I yeah,
I wouldn't know. But yeah, that's definitely things have changed.
Like I mentioned, right, this TikTok has just taken off,
and great for the pizzeria, but I mean, I've just in.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
The communist Chinese, right, Hey, I heard this like we're
gonna outlaw it. Then suddenly nobody does it in Trump's tiktoking.
You know, it's like I don't know. We don't know anymore,
do we? No, we do not know. Technology is changing
everything in this AI is just I say that we're
like right now, it's kind of like being in nineteen
(29:28):
ninety four not knowing what Well, what's email? How's that
going to change us? Boy? Look how that just took
off and changed the world. Where now people are? You know,
there's addicts where we all are, and somebody that says
that they're not they're not telling the truth. Go ahead,
put your phone in a drawer and turn it off
for a Saturday afternoon and tell me how you feel
the withdrawal of wondering what happened? Something wrong? Do I
(29:52):
not know? That something's wrong out there. How many times
is your phone ding or chime where you're going? Ah,
I might eat when that happens is see to me?
Now when that happens, it's not oh, let me see
who's contacting me. It's kind of like, ah.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Yeah, maybe a little anxiety, yes.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yes, times? Well, how many times it goes off? If
we have anxiety with it? That's being funneled into our
lights every day? John, let's take them to the parking lot.
Let's go break them right now with you. Let's start
a movement. Let's start a movement. Hey. When it started,
I remember i'd just gotten married and pagers were out,
and I said, nope, I do not want a pager.
(30:31):
And she said, why I go, because I'll be at
the store, I'll get paged. I'll go to a payphone
and you'll say, get wheat bread not white. I go,
I don't need that. No, no, no. But when the
baby was on the way the last three months, I
went ahead and put the pager on there. But I
knew I didn't want technology. Early on. I almost could
(30:53):
become minus the acid A Timothy Leary older man. Movement
of young people today to move to move away from it.
It right, ditch it Like the hippie young kids. Did
you know they went out to the communes and did
natural you know? They were, you know, fighting the Hi
Fi system at home. They didn't want that as well.
I really do hope there's a generation that might if
(31:14):
they see grandma and grandpa and everybody else, would there Ah,
that's we want to do something different. I hope that happened.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
I hope so, because I'll be in the grocery store
and if I don't see the text, you didn't bring
the milk, you didn't get the cheese.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, I just texted you. Heaven forbid, I have to
look at that.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
You've got to be on point twenty four to seven
or you'll get a smack down, won't you. Yes, remember
the days you could go to the store and just
roam and nobody could contact you. That's why I knew
the pagers were wrong right there. If I'd stopped it,
then man, we'd live in a different world. But speaking
of that world, go ahead and get the ninety nine
craft pizza app or on the way home, you can
(31:50):
call two eight three eighty nine fifteen if you want
to do it. The really really old fashioned way, right.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
And a lot of people still do that so they
want to talk to some so we're happy to take
that call.
Speaker 1 (32:02):

Uh District six here. Uh this this man defied a
lot of people. He had his competitor in the city
(35:16):
council race had the backing of everybody from Richard Nixon
on all the way up through the seventies, eighties, nineties.
Uh right, they kind of ye kind of did, and
uh he came through. And the reason that he came
through was because he got out and he walked. He
walked the district. He Uh, he got to know a
(35:37):
lot of people out there and uh they said, you
know what, I think, I'm gonna come out and vote
for you. And uh he won. He won the race,
and he's a first time city council member and it's
always interesting to sit down and to talk with him.
And we're going to do that coming up at five
o'clock here as well. On the show tomorrow, Georgia Southern's coming.
(35:57):
Paul Leffler coach and Cam we'll have your pregame at
five point thirty, kickoff at six thirty, and of course
c K would be there to start it all off
at four point thirty. Bulldog Boulevard's going to be opening
at three thirty and just the camaraderie. And I was
asking c K about the fact, I'm like, man, after
like that lost to Kansas, what's it like having to
(36:19):
do that the show? After you know, people are calling
in their depressed had and he goes, man, I tell
you what it's I don't care there's six home games.
I don't care what the score is. It's about community,
it's about coming out. It's about everybody being together. And
that is what I called the beauty of sports, because
you go back and you think about your life, and
even if you're not an athlete, many people were fans,
(36:43):
and even if you don't like it, you like how
it made the room feel. And I say that, like
I don't like coffee, but I like how coffee smells.
I like how coffee makes a room feel. And if
you walk into a room where there's sports going on
and people are excited, the room feels good. People feel good.
Sports makes people feel good, even when your team loses,
(37:06):
because at least you got something to sit around and say.
And I saw it with my own eyes. You want
to talk about a team that had lost some and now,
of course with Josh Allen with the Bills, they're doing good.
But when I lived in Buffalo for a few years.
You know, they got how many Super Bowls for I
think it was for that they did not win the Bills.
I mean they've done a thirty for thirty were players,
(37:28):
you know, they interview them and how they handled it
and the demoralizing effect of that town. But when I
lived back there, this was the twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen,
the Bills were not winning. But that town, that community,
they hardly ever bad mouthed them. They hardly ever talked
(37:48):
bad about them. They always believed in them. If it
was snowing, they would come out. And I now equate
it to what I see here in the valley with
the passion for as no state. There are some towns,
some cities across America that cities that surround them put
them down. Think about it. Think of Chicago and New York.
(38:10):
How they Oh, you're from Buffalo, right la San Francisco,
Oh you're from Fresno. And it gives people in Buffalo
and people of Fresno, Uh yeah I am, and we'll
come play you and will be you any let's get
it gives you that, It gives you that hip. You know,
it's a good it's a good ship that you have
on your shoulder. You know, that's always a negative, but
(38:31):
when people do that, and that's what I kind of
saw because I see the same excitement here and I
equate it to what c K said about you know
how hard. He's like, I don't care if the win
or the loss, man, it's all about us getting together.
And on an early Sunday morning in Buffalo, I don't
care if it was three degrees and two feet of
(38:52):
snow in the parking lot and you couldn't even push
a grocery cart to a parking lot because of the snow.
People would be in that grocery store. They were probably
all Catholic and went to church Saturday night, but they
would be there on a Sunday morning getting all their food,
all excited. They could be three and eleven on the
season and there'd be guys and they're like, Eh, let's go.
(39:13):
Yeah inside the grocery store. It was festive. So I'm
equating it to what we have going here. And this
goes way back, and there's a as I've learned over
the past decade, you know, when you're an outsider and
you come in, it can be a hard nut to
crack coach Enz is realizing that athletic director Classy realizing
that the people in Buffalo and the people in Fresno,
(39:35):
you got to prove something to them that if you're
from the outside, you got to show them that you're hearing,
you care, and you're down for what's going on. And
what I've realized over ten years, almost ten years now
is the tradition and how it goes back and what
that means the assisted Trevor Jerry show them Mondo Valley's
Power Talk
