Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bulldogs tomorrow night, taking on Utah at seven thirty as
(00:05):
well six thirty pre game as well. CK kicks it
off at five point thirty. Out there, Bulldog Boulevard is
gonna be Senior Night and it is white out. The
weather's gonna be perfect, great chili football weather as well.
I just love being outside here. I realized I hadn't
been outside in a while, from my car to the
house inside at work.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
It's good to be outside. Beautiful weather.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
We're going to be doing some drawings here as well,
raffle drawings for turkeys, for pumpkin pies. We got some
Christmas trees to give away as well. I saw that
murder rates are down around the country. That's that's good.
They've been dropping around the nation as well, and that
has been happening. Homicide rates are down twenty percent this
year in the fifty two major US cities that report
(00:50):
the data is according to the Washington Post, there were
almost six thousand fewer killings last year. Then back during
the men made lockdown of twenty twenty one, FBI is
showting and the tree and they're saying, imagine that enforcement
are in tougher laws and the fact that schools got reopened,
and the fact that we've had a rebound in employment.
(01:10):
I was just talking, well, I talk a lot about
on the show about the ill effects that have happened
to the state. It's still a great state. We know
it's still a great state. I just feel like a
missionary behind enemy lines at times. I don't care what
your political affiliation is out there, there's nobody that wants
to live in a state that is violent, where crime
(01:30):
is going up, and it's been dropping across the country.
Our station, our facilities are iHeart Building along with the
other offices above us. It was not a targeted shooting,
but there was one point thirty in the morning somebody
rented a building back behind us or a party and
two different gangs were firing at each other. And the
effects of that that happened when there's a bullet hole
(01:52):
in the window where you work, and it made me
think of all these neighborhoods where drive bys happen randomly
in their front window of their living room get shot.
That does to people's psyche there as well, and to
also see the small ramifications.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It's only somebody losing their life or something.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
But you know, our boss having to get hold of
window companies and would having to go up, and just
the loss of.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Time and work.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
And we could put a monetary value to that.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And that's just.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
One window and one little building, and one little city
and one big state, imagine all over this state. And
I think when things get a little bit more settled
in some areas, you really get some you really get.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Some friendly people.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
And when I saw this headline here the best US
states to visit as well. This is done by journey
Skate And what they did was they asked international travelers
out there who have been to America, what is their
best state that they have actually been in? Who was
the most friendliest as well? I've never traveled overseas. They
(02:56):
say Americans stick out in foreign crowds because we're a
little more, I guess, a little louder. Maybe maybe we're
closer talkers than some other societies are around the world.
My coworkers is at B ninety five. He does afternoons.
Hey you doing guys. Hey, I like the hair color.
We got an orange and green going on right here,
(03:18):
soiling green looks good. But he went to Japan and
he was talking the first time he'd ever gone anywhere
like that, and he's talking about how just how polite
everybody was in the subways, and how people are just
at the counters, the registers are at the hotel desk,
just so polite out there. Sean Duffy, Transportation Secretary, put
out a video talking about how air travel needs to
(03:41):
be polite, how we're losing it with air travel. I
haven't seen a fly a fight on an airplane yet,
but I've seen enough of them on social media. Well,
these people that fly into America, what is the friendliest place?
You heard me at the end of last hour talking
to the outreach marketer here, Warren Edwards, and he saw
forty nine states in fifty days. And when we went
(04:02):
to the top of the hour Fox News, I started talking.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
To him a little more. Warren, I want you to
tell everybody about this.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
You got a YouTube channel out there, you film going
around and you have a tattoo from every state you
were in.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
That's crazy, man.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I traveled all fifty states and I had a different
tattoo artist in each state.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Okay, is this out of character for you or are
you kind of a madman like that? Because that's that's
like Guinness World Record kind of stuff it is. It's
I think I set four or five of them.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
But did you really? Yeah? I think so.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I still need to get the information to Guinness. But
surprisingly enough I was able to complete the trip in
forty nine days, all fifty states, and I did it solo.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, yeah, nobody else is that crazy to go along
with you? Crazy is a good work? Did you go
a car plane?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
What?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I drove in my car to all continental forty eight?
And I flew to Hawaii and Alaska?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And I already asked you for those that just got
to work and catch us? He said, the Midwest was
his favorite, and you really like Kansas. You weren't a
fan of Detroit. Did you spend much time down in
the South at all? No? I mean I only you
were there but one day in each stay you drove though,
so you got to pull over and experience idea society, right.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I did?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
And like I was saying, the small town communities are
wonderful when you get to larger populations and at bigger
metropolitan areas, especially like Boston, you get to Wichita things
like that that are very similar to Fresno and the
demographics it changes the lifestyle.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Any stereotypes broken.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Now you thought of some other areas what they were
like that they all fill the what you thought they'd
be like.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
You know what, as I traveled through the country, it
was amazing, and I found that there was a lot
of similarities in the size of populations, more so than
what the demographic necessarily was.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Of the people.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Well, you always think of stereotypes. They're buying LA's in
a game, You're buy in San Francisco's gay. Everybody in
New York is rude. And you find out that all
stereotypes aren't always there. Because when I went back to
New York City and I worked there, I didn't live there.
I lived in connecting into the train, but I got
to experience it. I realized they're not rude. You think
that when you're there, it's so many people crammed.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Into one little area.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
The normal niceties of thank you for holding the door
or let me get that for you.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
It's like an an ant hill out there. You'd be
going thank you, excuse me all day long. So they
just don't do it. But I found them to be genuine,
warm people, and I think you can find them anywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I think you can I mean, I think it's like
you said before, it's how you approach people, not how
you if you go. I went with a negative attitude.
Of course it's going to be negative. So I think
everything can be a positive situation if you make.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It all right.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And the reason that I have Warren staying here with
me here is well, you're a good talk and you're
an interesting person. But I'm going to give you this
ranking that journey Scape did to identify the friendliest states
in the nation. They ranked it on number of overseas visitors,
happiness score. Send them at score, And I could not
disagree with this anymore. But then again, I have an
(06:49):
expert in front of me. That's I'd have broken some
Guinness World records. You need to find that out.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I will, okay, number ten, I'll ask you to rank
these Virginia.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Virginia, I don't know. Virginia's pretty nice area. I'd say eight,
seven or eight.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
At number nine, they had Utah Utah. You know what,
Utah is a little different. I would rank to Utah
probably about a six or seven because it's a little
bit of a mix there with the Mormons. But for
the most part, it's a very beautiful area in a
very nice area.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I remember nineteen eighty seven when my well she became
my wife, she was my girlfriend. She smoked in and
she was in a parking lot in saw Lake City
and somebody came out and told her to put it out.
I thought that was so I couldn't smoke out in
the parking lot. And that was in the eighties. Yeah, okay,
Number eight, I can't believe an expert. They just went
to forty nine states in fifty fifty states, forty nine days.
(07:38):
And I was gonna talk about this at five o'clock.
You are the best expert here. At number eight.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Illinois, Illinois another one. You know what, I'd say, Illinois
is way up there. I'd say, where you are right?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It does? It was. It was a nice state though.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I mean I only had a day in each one,
but from what I could tell, Illinois was right up
there was probably seven or eight.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Number number seven they had ranking. Here's a friendly state
in America, Arizona, Arizona.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Well, I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
You know what, I don't know, they're probably about halfway.
Number six Massachusetts.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Massachusetts, a beautiful area, beautiful, nice area, too busy for
anyone to really, I thought.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
They kind of had a tude. Yeah, they got a
little attitude more than New York City. I think they
got there a little more on edge for some reason.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
They are. I would say, you're exactly right about that.
And if you're not from there, they don't trust you.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
You know, they just don't want people to be I
don't think they care about anyone who's around. They want
to do their own thing and how they want to
do it. They're getting from a to B, and I
noticed that even crossing the street, they just don't give
af about anything that's going on.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, and I know some Providence, Rhode Island, they use
the shoulder as a lane during rush hour and nearby
does it. Oh it's like you don't see the highway
patrol or whatever with their lights on. They how would
they use that shoulder as a link.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I was driving from Long Island, New York to New Jersey,
and three hour road trip took me six and a
half hours because of traffic.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
All right, number five friendly at city according to international
traslers that come over here in the Nevada.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I think we know why that's there. Because they want
their money.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That's why they put on that smile, right, you know what,
Nevada is a great place, but good luck finding the locals.
They I think they hide away more than anything, unless
you find them at work.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You know, the city I really don't like in America.
I lived there and work there six months. Six months,
how much I liked it. You know, I am not
a fan Arena Nevada, not at all. No, it's just
the people that are visiting and gambling or happy, and
the people that work there just don't like living there.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
That that was my perception the old Vegas, right, yeah,
all right? Well number four California came in California. I
don't know about that. Yeah, A lot.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Of garage stores go up, a lot of garage doores
come down?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Right, We know.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I love California for what it is. But then again,
you know, I've been here my whole life, and I
got to say that I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I'll be number four. Yeah, number three New York. That's
another one. That's a tough one because you know somewhere you're.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
At when it's different than being friendly, I see, right,
Because you could be a nice person, but you're not friendly.
You're not really outgoing or knowing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
You gotta you gotta think that it depends on where
you're at New York. I mean, New York's very large.
People don't realize how big New York.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Is, right, You're I lived in western New York as
well out there and there are some counties where I
lived in Wyoming County where they said there's more cows
than people. It's like a lot of the valley here
way out there, out of the New York metro and
out of Albany. It's just kind of like the Central Valley.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
That's right, That's right. It just depends on the demographic really.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
All right, And I okay, I think I need to
throw this survey away with number two.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
This, this is I would put this at the bottom.
New Jersey. No, people aren't friendly in New Jersey. People
are friendly in New Jersey, are they? Well? Yeah, you know,
like I said, spend some time there.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
A little bit like how far? How how populous of
an area were you in? It's the question.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, the busier they get, the lessons there. I think
they top Massachusetts with the twude. New Jersey attitude is
different than even New York City. Anything along the East
Coast is going to be different. It is even just
a little travel is going to have you. I have
my list here. You didn't see it, did you? Plan
said Okay, what do you think Number one friendliest state
and you've been.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
To it obviously, you know that's tough.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
U Oh, Kansas maybe, Uh yeah, I'd say Kansas.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
All right, think of the most welcoming state when you
get off the plane. They're kind of welcoming. You mean
you there.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I couldn't tell you because I drove off. I drove
off for eighty eight states.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Okay, hint, hint.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Hawaii, Okay, there it is. They didn't welcome being off
a plane. Don't they put the lake?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They do not. They don't do that any not in Honolulu.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
See Secretary Sean Duffy. Sean Duffy was correct. We need
to get that air travel back to how it used
to actually be as well. Uh well, we're seeing uh
Hawaii number one. I guess I've never been there.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
When I got off the plane, it wasn't that way.
But I also didn't get there at night. I got
there at night, not during the day, so maybe it's
different during the day.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So what we're saying here, Warren is everybody needs to
go out of their way to be friendly, especially during
this next month with Christmas shopping and all that.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Let's just make for his own real friendly. I think so.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I mean the nicer you go out there and make
it for everyone. I think the nicer it is for everyone.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Well, you guys have been nice here, and they're so
nice that they're raffled off a bunch of prizes, and
we're going to come back and let those businesses know
what they want. It is the season of giving, Warren,
thank you for all the giving you're doing with the
turkeys and the pumpkin pies and the Christmas trees.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And the gift baskets. Yes, of course. Hey, I think
that hat right there would look good with that jacket.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I think so it's a little roller skating. Is that
too roller skating? Looking for for Warren? I think it
no that that that works right.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I appreciate that. There's the Warren head.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I'm gonna getting trouble go dogs where Expedite earth Care
and Calipo Family, Kylo Family Clinics, Blackstone and Shaw.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
