Find out more about them at Klausurrilling.com. 960s Real American Quiz, and we have some history. It was actually yesterday in history of 1968. So let's go back then to those ancient days with Doug. Hello, Doug. How you doing this morning? Hey, I'm good.

Doug, we're going to find out here if you know your history. The very first national 911 call is placed in the United States. First official 911. Of course, we take it for granted now. And by nearly all of the nations, 327 million people, 911 is a relatively recent invention, still not standard, even many years after Congress adopted that. But at the time, AT&T was considered the monopoly, natural monopoly here. And the number 911 was used because it was easy. easy to remember and crucially it had not been designated an area code. All right? So the question

for the win this morning, Doug, which town in the United States had the very first 911 system in the 911 call? Was it A, Huntington, Indiana, B, Noam, Alaska. Was it C, Marquette, Michigan, D, Haleyville, Alabama, or E, Page, Arizona? I had no idea. So you're probably just going to going to make a guess, but give me a shot. I just got a camera. You're going to go with Alabama. Sounds like something the day we do. Marquette, uh, no, Haleyville, Alabama, right? That's it, huh? Yeah.

Yeah. You're a way. It's not very often someone gets it first off, but you just guessed, and you guessed well. The first 911 call, the first 911 call was placed by Representative Rankin. I think it's fight was his name. The Speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives. Now, Nome, Alaska adopted the system a week later and then followed by Huntington, Indiana, still be many years before the system was widespread.

By 1987, 50% of the station was using the system. By the way, Canada chose to adopt the same number for its emergency calls. 98% of U.S. and Canada can now contact emergency services by dialing 911. In many former British colonies, they use 999, and the number 1112. He's used at Russia. So just kind of a little interesting side note. So Doug, off the diner 62 with you. Hold on, okay?

I'll get you all set up. 17 minutes after 8, Kim Commando's digital updates coming up. Then your calls. It's pebble in your shoe Tuesday. But it doesn't have to be a pebble call. Can be anything else on your mind here, too, for that matter. Like, has anybody else met Jesse Jackson? I know that Minor Dave said he met Jesse Jackson, the late Jesse Jackson.

passing away overnight when he was in town shelling for the Clintons you know back of the day. Did you ever meet Jesse? Or what about Robert Duvall? Robert Duvall, he passed away age of 95. What a story. Boy, what a what just a what an amazing career that he had.

Trying to figure out my favorite Robert Duvall part. There was so many but still I know he wasn't on the screen a whole lot but the Godfather is the one that still comes to mind when I think of him, a very young Robert Duvall. But my favorite, if I had to pick one, Lonesome Dove. Lonesome Dove is the one that I really think about.

It comes to mind. 770KMED, we can talk about that or anything else on your mind, too. Short and chilly days are an opportune time to work on the interior of your home.

Have a pebble in your shoe you'd like to share. Pebble in your shoe Tuesday. Always a lot of fun. 7705633. Non-pebble topic, I would ask, though. Favorite Robert Duvall role. And for me, it is still. Lonesome Dove, I think, is my number one.

And the role in the Godfather, number two, although he doesn't have a lot of screen time in that movie. But that consigliary, whatever you pronounce that, Scooby Steve, what are you talking about? Come over here. I can't read lips. Scoo Steve from Cool 103.5 will try to yell at me through the window. It does not work. Sorry, Bill.

Yeah. Open range. Open range. Did you see it with Kevin Costner? No, I did not. You got to watch it in honor of Robert Duval. Okay. I will do so. I appreciate that. 770KMED. So that's one topic. And then Minor Dave was actually close. to the Reverend Jesse Jackson a number of years ago when he was in town Shelling for

Did you ever meet Jesse? Anybody else meeting him at that time? Dave said he was actually a perfectly fine guy. Bad politics. Bad politician, though, that's for sure. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome.

Hi, it's Carol Ann. Carol Ann. How are things this morning? You're staying out of the snow and the ice? Oh, very snowy up here in the Applegate. Well, I was wondering about that. I saw... As Boo Radley and To Kill a Mockingbird.

Boy, I never saw that one. That's going way back, isn't it? Oh, that's a good one. You should check it out. Yeah, he plays the scary neighbor who Radley as a young man and the great Santini. I remember that one. That was lovely. Great movie.

I loved Robert DeVall. He's one of my favorites. But I can't help myself, though, Carolyn, because to me, my godfather, the godfather is the number one movie, in my opinion. in my opinion, one of my top of all time. And so I always have to elevate that movie because he was in it. All right. Okay. All right.

Thanks, Carol Ann. 7705-633. All right. Hi, good morning. It's Pebble in your shoe Tuesday. Pebble or something else on your mind? Who's this? This is Randall from Central Point.

Hey, Randall. What's going on? Hey, I just wanted to mention to you. He appeared in a movie, the great Northfield, Minnesota raid. In 1972, it was filmed in Jacksonville, and there was one scene that was taken outside of Gold Hill in the old house on the road between Gold Hill,

the backway in the White City. There's an old farmhouse sitting in the pines and the oak trees. And that was, as I remember, Robert Duvall, and he played Jesse James and Cliff Robertson played Cole Younger. And that was Southern Oregon's brush with greatness. Was he considered a great actor at that time in the early 1970s? 72 like that other than the Godfather, maybe? I don't know.

I wouldn't say he was just becoming at that time. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we had our brush with greatness then. Yeah, the majority of the film was filmed in Jacksonville. Now, was it a good movie? It was average. That's all right.

We got to the honest with ourselves, right? Okay, I'd never heard of it. It wasn't a John Wayne or Clint Eastwood movie. Got it. All righty-7-0-K-M-E-D. Let me grab another line here on Pebble in Your Shoe Tuesday. Hi, good morning. Who's this?

Welcome. Good morning, Bill. It's Francine. Good morning, Francine. How are you? You holding up okay? I'm holding up okay. Yeah, the electricity flickered really for just like a half a second.

a few times now and I have to keep turning the radio back on. Yeah, I got a notice from one of the transmitters up on Jacksonville. Hill, I'm not sure if it's on generator power or not, but I haven't had a chance to look at that yet, but something tells me that's what happens. You know, the snow gets on the lines, gets heavy, boom, down it goes. Yeah, I can't really tell how much there is because the ground is so uneven, but I know like the railing on the porch, you know, there's this big long line of snow on top of it. it's probably about eight or nine inches, but I know, I don't think that's what's on the ground.

I think it's just collecting that way. That's still pretty significant, though. So what else is on your mind, huh? My car's covered. I had to cancel an appointment for today because I'm not going to go out there and shovel snow off my car and the road. Don't blame you. So what else is on your mind today then? Okay, well, for one thing, if you've never seen to kill a mockingbird, you've got to see it.

It's just, it's an incredibly, it's a very beautiful, very moving. moving very well done film Gregory Peck. It's awesome. It's the only story that I can't think of her name off the top of my head now, but it's the only book that this woman ever wrote. They turned into a movie, and it's just an amazing story. Yeah, I read the book a couple of times in school, and I really, you know, I thought the book was quite good, so I never bothered with the movie. So you're thinking the movie, though, is worth it. It's very well done. Yeah, I think you would enjoy it. And it's very young Robert Duvall. And yes, he was kind of a scary neighbor, but that was a perception of him, you know, as part

of the character, which you're probably aware of it if you've read the book. He actually wasn't really scary. He just seemed like he was. Seemed. What he was. Yeah. It's been a long time since I read the book, too. I'm going to have to run that through the old memory banks here, okay?

Yeah, you'll enjoy it. Okay. And I got one little pebble in my shoe. What's that? Okay. The commercial where I think it's from Progressive, where they have all these people. people talking at once, really snide, snotty people. And now it's getting in when the Stephanie refrigerator all turns bad and smell better,

you know. You know, it's so funny. I thought that one was kind of funny. I think there was the one in which. And, yeah, your number one person's becoming a veterinarian, you know, leaving to become a veterinarian. I thought that was pretty funny myself. Well, there's some kind of funny aspects to it, but just, you know, there's only so many times you can listen to a, a chorus of snide, snoddy remarks, even if...

But you kind of understand, though, snide and snoddy, that is, you know, that is the culture today. Snide, snide. Yes, I know. And remember, we can't have good conversation because, well, everything has to be a hot take, right? I know, I know. I know. You know, I, I, when you were talking, or you guys were talking about the shooting, the tragic shooting at the ice rink and all that. Yeah.

And Robert slash Roberta. Yes. And he's trans. It's like yet another long. I went on, I decided just to see if I could find any photos of this person or, you know, and so I went, the first one of the first links that came up was PBS. Yes, and they never even mentioned that he'd went by Roberta or anything. I mean, not one word about his proclivity. Yeah.

Well, there is a picture of him on Fox News and not exactly an attractive, quote-unquote, woman. All right. Well, you know, when you start hacking away a person's body, it doesn't always come out like, you know, like the movie story version. Yeah. Well, it's interesting that the media has done a really good job of trying to repress any real coverage of some of the mental illness problems they were having of people who arguably are afflicted with mental illness, but we're not supposed to notice. Well, they hide everything, you know, that really matters.

I mean, just the kids, what it does to the kids, they've been hiding that for years and years and years and it can even go into other dens of the iniquity or depravity like while the Epstein files. I was talking with Steve Bonta earlier this morning from the New American, and I him what he thought was most significant. I mean, yeah, we can all sit around there and go, oh, Bill Gates had this and then gave, got STD, yada, yada, yada, and all the other things like that. He said what he thought was the most interesting part of that, of that story right now, is finding out that the Pizza Gate, there is more truth to the Pizza Gate conspiracy theory

than was given responsible journalism attention, you know, the trafficking of young women, young women and men. Well, you know, the quote I always sign at the bottom of my emails by, what's his? I've read his first name, Crowley, the young man who was making the film that ended up, he was making the film Gray State, and they found him and his family dead, you know, and they called it a murder or suicide, which nobody believes anybody that knew anything about him. Anyways, so there's a quote I used for my signature on my email. It says at some point in time, every conspiracy series quits being a conspiracy or something like that. Yeah, well, it's being a theory. Yeah.

Quit being a theory. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Thanks for the call there, as always, Francine. 770 KMED. It's pebble on your shoe Tuesday and just kind of noodling around, too, for this matter, between the weather and the news and the, especially the bad news out of the state legislature. It's all bad.

I wish I could tell you differently. But hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome. Hello. Hello, can you hear me? Yep, I sure can. Who's this? Oh, hi. My name is Paul.

I'm originally in Bay Area, but now I live in Medford. Hi, Paul. I work with Robert Duval and Steve McQueen on the movie Bullitt. Oh, man. On Bullitt? I was a mechanic who worked in Specter Performance who built all the cars. Oh, man. That must have been wild.

Now, were there modifications that had to be? done with those Mustangs and the bullet chases and all that. There must have been something that had to be done, right? Yeah. Only when they took off, only one wheel was burning. Yeah. Those were just regular old play on a car. There was only one penny charger.

All the rest of them were 318 charges. Okay. Yeah, they were just basically jumped. What is your best memory or most vivid memory of? of working with that. What struck you? It's like, what do you tell the kids, let's say, or grandkids? The case might be. Well, mainly I tell him, I said, when I was talking to Steve McQueen, I told him that I was a Mopar guy. And basically, you said, they're cars. And I said, well, I worked on other cars, but I hated working on other cars, but I like working on him, Ethan.

I got the impression looking at the stories that Steve was not exactly a likable guy. Is that true? no not really he was he would say hello he would say goodbye and every once in July he got to give you a thumbs up when he got out of the car but he wasn't talking to

really anybody he was he was very very very very um he was doing very sincere in that row because number one he loved car racing and he continued on for the rest of his life

racing cars so that movie there was kind of special for him. And he didn't have a stunt driver, did he? Pardon me? Did he have a stunt driver? Yes, he did. He did, okay.

I wasn't sure most of the time insurance would not allow the star to actually be doing a lot of that stuff back then. He did a lot more than the other drivers. And, you know, I can't even remember their names who drove the charger. but they only had still shots in sites and shots from vehicles next to them on platform. But Steve McQueen, there were quite a few times where he would do Derm, Donuts, take off, stuff like that. All right. Well, hey, thanks for sharing it.

I really appreciate the story. I really do. 770-5633. Love that. People's brush with greatness, right? Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome.

Hey, Bill, it's Greg. Good morning to you. Brad. How you doing? Hey, I vote with you. Lonesome Duff for Robert Duvall. And I love Robert Duval and just about anything he was ever in. But Lonesome Dove was just very special. Robert Duvall was one of those interesting characters.

And I would dare say kind of like, you know, the respect of like Bruce Willis in which even if the material was not the best, he would tend to make it better just by his presence in a movie. There are certain actors and actresses that are just that way. that will take even marginal material and elevated. But Robert Duvall, you know, had a lot of great material to work with over that career. That's for sure. His rendition of Augustus McCall is one for the age. Is it just, you know, when you see what you did with that character, they're just, yeah. So two pebbles.

Pebble number one, which would be a longer discussion for a different day, is the impact of lobbyists on our legislature. So Herman Bartiger brought it up. I know some inside baseball stuff that I'll share with you. People who are conservative leaning would be surprised what gets done with their money once it goes to the lobbyist. That'll be a discussion for a different day. But since you are a media expert and award-winning media expert, I might say. Well, okay, I don't know if there's that much smoke to blow up me, but anyway, go ahead.

Yeah. So, Bill, but you know what? you're this guy, you get up at ODark 30 every morning to do what, to make sure that your station goes online so that you can bring money in and keep things going. If you had lost two-thirds of your customers in the last 10 years, how likely is that the company that you're part of would still be in business, but that's what happened to CNN? Can you talk about that a little bit? How can this company still be in business when they've lost two-thirds of their customers

since 2016. Well, there is a real effort, I think, behind the scenes that a certain amount of globalist media must be supported. I think that's part of it. And even if it is a

loss leader, though, I think it's about the prestige there too. But I want to be fair to CNN. CNN has lost two-thirds of its audience over the last few years. But I'll make a prediction. I have a feeling that they're on their way back.

You know why? Why? Not because of leftism or that they're going to push this. I'm just talking about what I'm seeing on the screen there. I watched CNN for the first time in probably two, three years over the weekend and the last weekend, too, a little bit of the Nancy Guthrie coverage and various other things. I'm noticing a different tone coming out of CNN, and I'm not excusing the sins of the past. I'm not saying that.

But it seems like they're actually working on bringing back news, actually covering news, actually having adults conversing rather than having the Fox News channel, which, you know, God love them. I know I'm a Fox radio subscriber, and I like the radio service for sure. But, you know, not the overproduced noise box that so many cable channels are, in my opinion. I think that, you know, CNN is being rebuilt right now, and there seems to be a push to make it more adult and make it more actually newsy. That's my opinion, just my observation. It may be, maybe I'm going to have to watch it more and I'll be proven differently. on that, but that's kind of what I'm thinking right now at this point.

What say you? Well, I'm not going to argue with you on that. I'm just going to say, I can't think of another business that could lose two-thirds of its customers in 120 months and still be in business. I can't think of any other business that could even do that. Yeah, well, there are deep pockets. Deep pockets in, well, of course, they may be sold. Maybe they're getting gussied up to be sold right now by the company that owns them.

I don't know who owns them at the moment. Are we looking at money laundering on a scale? I mean, it's money laundering in plain sight. Is that what we're seeing? Pretty much, yeah, because it's about politics, but I think CNN is a little different than I was, at least my mind's eye of CNN was, you know, two, three years, because I had given up on them, yeah, given up on them completely.

Appreciate the call, Brother Brad. 770KME, let me grab another one. Hi, good morning, who's this? Good morning. Bill, this is Tom. How are you? I'm fine, Tom. What's up? I wanted to call about Robert DeValle. He was a great actor, and I wanted to know if you ever seen a movie called A Family Thing?

It does not ring a bell. Okay, he finds out he has a black brother in Chicago. It's a half-brother. It's a funny movie. James Earl Jones is in it also. You might enjoy it. Oh, gosh, I love James Earle's Jones. And there's a particular part in the movie you're going to love it. love when he's in his pickup truck and he sings to these two black guys. Uh-huh.

You'll love it. All right. I'm going to look it up. It's called a family thing, right? Yeah, yeah. Hey, Bill, I dropped off a bar of soap for you the other day. I picked up my wife's windbreaker. That was a great windbreaker.

Thank you. Oh, glad. I was wondering what this was. You dropped off a bar of soap. I'm looking at it here. I put it next to the control board. It's organic poison oak soap. Yeah.

I figure you get out. wood there for your generators, you know? Yeah, I do. I do. And well, let me tell you, though, what was your name again? One more time? Tom. Tom. Tom, I had never been so sick in my life as I was. I want to go about five, six years ago when I was out there clearing weeds at a transmitter site. And unbeknownst to me, what I thought were trees where that was actually poison oak. I just did not know. I was miserable for probably two months. And if I had had this soap, that probably would have helped me, really, if I'd gotten into that. Oh, yeah.

I hear all the horror stories. Oh, I cannot believe. I was never so sick in my life. And wanting to cut my arms off in the middle of the night from the, you know, when you're ready just to get out the saw and cut your arms off because of the poison oak and the itch is just keeping you from sleeping. I'll tell you. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, thank you for the gift. I appreciate that. Well, if you go out built, like in the woods or out there in the yard, whatever, just come back, wash up, but that'll take all the oils off. The green clay soaks the poison off your skin and the essential oil heals, it stops the it. If you do get it, just leave it filmed on for the night and you won't have an itch or anything. It'll cure it. Really good product. I appreciate the help and the gift, too.

Pebble in your shoe Tuesday, Dr. Doctor, Doctor, so we go to Dr. Tom. Hello, Tom. How are you doing

this morning? Welcome. Thank you. Yeah, the Poison Oak. When I was about nine years old, lived out in the country. And my cousin, Mark, came to visit me from Oakland, and then city slickers, you know. And so we were just going out the door, and his mom says to me, now you make sure you keep my son away from Poison Oak. And I said, okay, I will do that. And so we went up in the hill, and like any other good country kid, I had a big long knife and everything that I always carried around. And he started using it to hack away on a big old vine. And I said, Mark, that's poison oak.

And he said, oh, no, I know what poison oak looks like. Oh, no. No, Mark, if you look at that vine, go way up that oak tree and way to the top. You'll see those same kind of poison oak leaves. Oh, you don't know what you're talking about. And he continued to hack away. Well, next morning I got up, where's Mark? he is very, very sick.

And so went into the bedroom. There he was all propped up and she, his face was swollen up. And I remember at the time, I think, boy, those squinty eyes, it looks just like Roy Rogers. Oh, no. And its mom says, I said, I told you, keep him away from poison.

I said, I told him, but he wouldn't listen. Yeah, I would. What did you do with that knife? Because just having that knife is bad, too. It lives on the edges for quite some time. That oil that, what, you, it's a you type oil. It's like you, starts with a you, you know, that is the oil in poison oak that is so nasty. Such an allergy.

Yeah, well, at that time, I wasn't reacting to poison oak. I could just, you know, take a bath in it and I'd be fine. Oh, good for you. Well, thanks for the story. Boy, boy, that's bad. Well, that was my experience. What happened to me? I was like the kid.

Hi, good morning, horse lady. What's up? Oak. Yeah? If you're out in the hills and you know what the Indian soap root is, dig one up, pound the bulb, get to the creek, wash with it, no poison oak. Yeah, I'm told that whatever you do, don't do it in hot water. And that's what I did. Oh, God.

Oh, Lord, no. Don't. And I wanted to remind you, it's cold enough. Make sure and sprinkle ground red pepper on your side. socks. It'll keep your little feeties warm. All right. Around in the brush. Well, thank you, horse lady.

We got Lucretia here. Hello, Lucretia. What's up? It's up in your world, huh? Good morning. Hi, Bill. Hi. You were talking about electricity yesterday.

Yes, about the electricity, the first electric power plants coming to Southern Oregon. Sure. Yeah, I was listening to German warfare on what's happening in Africa and how they had good electricity, then all these different mining companies came in, and basically, I believe, I recall, something like 48,000 kilowatts or produced a day, and 40 of those go to the big mining companies and only eight to the people. And they hired a guy that was clearly part of the gen is they shut down their ability to get electricity, and so they have just roaming blackouts now. So this is all being planned, because obviously over there, they can get electricity anytime they want.

They're not on 60-volt-60-whatever. Okay, how can they get electricity anytime they want? All the way from Europe, all the way from Europe. They can just instantly add it. And so there's no reason. He was talking with a fellow totally knowledge, well, totally well-aware of how this guy that they elected, was just lying and suppressing everything. But it's interesting how we used to have electricity, and we got it from the atmosphere.

You interviewed a fellow on Airbus travel. Do you remember when he said all Airbus travel was eliminated, what year that was? No, I think you're mistaken me with somebody else. No, and remember he says we're going to have Airbuses back again. When Airbuses? No, I don't remember ever talked to anybody about air buses. I really don't. Yeah.

Lucretia, Lucretia, you're putting me further down the conspiracy theory. Now, the thing is, though,

I do believe I am with the physicist to say that zero point energy is something that is perfectly theoretical and could power all our needs. As soon as we're able to tap that,

then we'll have air buses in the sky. How about that? But when that one airbus that ignited in and... Oh, you're talking about dirigible. Okay. Deregibles. You see,

when I'm hearing airbus, I'm hearing like airplanes or something like that. Okay. Yeah. Do you know when those were removed? Well, most of them ended up being bounced after Hindenburg disaster. Right. And do you know what year that was?

Wasn't that 1932? 33. Well, I know they were all removed worldwide in a period of just two months. I was listening to this other program in two months. All of a sudden they didn't put any in a museum. Yeah. Well, yeah, it was because of hydrogen, though. It was because of hydrogen. Hydrogen, of course, was a lot lighter than helium, which is what they would use in an air ship today. But unfortunately, there is that little pesky, flammable part of it, all right? Lucretia, I'm really short on time, but I appreciate it. The other second topic will have to do another time, maybe tomorrow, okay? It is 10b49-7-0-5-633.

And you're waking up with the Bill Myers Show. Another one of my great sponsors, it's Cherise over at No Wires Now on Open for Business. We wanted to do a quick swing-by check-in.

Cherise, great to have you back. We haven't talked to you here for a little bit. What's going on here? Because I'm still loving my cell phone bill, which is cheap, you know, 30 bucks a month. You know, is what Linda and I are both paying for two lines right now. I guess we're going to hit our one year pretty soon. But how you doing?

Welcome back. Really good, really good. Hey, I have some great ideas for the cell phone. If your cell phone bills are going up and you have DISH network, I can get you the $15 unlimited line with boo. boost. I've switched a lot of people over to that, and that seems to be working really well. You know, if you're overpaying for TV, Internet and cell phone service, now is the time to come in and talk to me because if you do, I'm going to give you a free ticket to get into the sportsman show this weekend. Very good. Very cool. So what do you have to do to get that again? Just call you?

Yeah, well, if you know, if you can come in, that'd be better. You've been calling me. So, yeah, if you can come in about now, between now and Thursday. I'll give you a free one per family, one free ticket in the entry to the Sportsman Show. This will be like my 20th year at the Expo. I've been going to the Sportsman Show for quite a while. And it's a great way to talk to people one-on-one. A lot of people are like, oh, I hear you own to Bill Meyer. Oh, I know. And the thing is, though, when you're there at the show, you usually give away a gift if people mention us, you know, mention me.

And when they come talk to you, right? Right. Yes. Please do. Come by and mention Bill Meyer, and I'll give you a free gift, and I'll try to save you a ton of money. on your TV, internet, and cell phone service. Yeah, my name may not be worth much elsewhere, but it's worth a lot of, no wires, so that's good.

Just having fun with you. So anyway, so we're talking about free cell phone service for a year, internet as low as 40 bucks a month. You have a special deal, which is going on. How does that work? Well, it depends. You know, I do offer Hunter, I offer cable, I offer dish, I offer direct TV stream.

So I offer a lot of different, you know, options. and I even offer Starlink. So if you live out in the country and you can't get cable service. Yeah, by the way, is it as hard to set that up the Starlink as some people say it is? It's kind of curious. You know, it just depends. I mean, if you want it mobile, if you live out in the country, you probably really want it on the house. You probably don't want to leave it out in the yard because it is warm and I hear it attracts animals.

So it just depends on your situation. Everyone's different. All right. But you do have a way, in other words, you work with all the different, many of the different internet companies. And you have deals and office. and various other things, right? Right. And the majority of you all are paying way too much.

And if you haven't talked to me in a while, and now's a good time to regroup. I always say every two years, come talk to me. I'll let you know what the new offers are and we'll see if I can help you save some more money. Okay. Now, the best way to get in touch is, well, you could call,

and that's 541-680-5875. If you have a cell phone right now, you could text a copy of the bill and then you could go to work on it, right? That sort of thing? Yes. All right. what your situation is. I'm also starting

the new AT&T business line. So if you are a legit business. It's only $10 a line for unlimited cell phone service. You just have to own the phone and you get to keep your same number too. Okay. So this is NoWires Now. You can go nowiresnow.com. You can find out things

Yep, I have some free gifts, and I also have a basket entry drawing giveaway as well. All right.

Come see me. Final question I have for you, though. Let's say that Hunter's coming into your neighborhood, and you know they grind up the street, they're laying the fiber and stuff. What can you do to work a deal with them? Is that what you're offering to? Yes, yes. So if it's Spectrum or if it's Hunter or whoever it is, call me because I'm going to give you local service.

You don't have to call them 1-800 number. you don't have to talk to someone in another country, and that's important because I'm also going to help you save on your other bills as well. So give me a call first before you call a $1,800 number, or if you call Hunter directly, and you want to see what your other options are. Maybe your cable bill has gone up really high, and you're thinking about switching to Hunter, but then you're going to lose your discount on your cell phone. So, you know, there's just so many different things that could happen if you switch. All right. I'm here to help you switch. All right, 541, 680, 5875, no wires, now.com.
