And now, a Blaze Media podcast. So I didn't realize that Central Florida is now the home, and it has been the home, of the Center for Great Apes. Duh. I mean, it's got they have the elephants out there. Yes. Right? And they got the Center for the Great Apes. We've got Gator Land.

I mean, why am I not living there still? Seriously. Because now we have a 33-year-old orangutan. granted legal personhood by an Argentinian judge. So in Argentina, this is a personhood, great ape orangutan. And they said, ah, it's a great, it's a personhood. It's at the Buenos Aires Zoo, which closed down. Buenos Aires.

That's what I said, the Buenos Aires Zoo. Buenos Aires. That's what I said, the Buenos Aires Zoo. Buenos Aires. They close it down. So the orangutan has just been sitting. I don't know. what's going on. Nobody comes to see me anymore.

I'm just talking to myself. I don't know what's going on. So they ship him to the U.S. Now, here's the deal. He's got to go in quarantine in the U.S. Now, you'd think he's coming from Argentina. Buenos Aires. He's coming from the Buenos Aires Zoo. Buenos Aires. And you think that, you know, in Florida, that's where you'd go for being

quarantine, right? No, they send him to Kansas City. They send him to Kansas to be in quarantine. Where's that? Show me in the hand. Where's that? Okay. Okay.

Kansas out here. Oh, that's not Florida. Because Florida is the thumb. No, it is not. Florida's the thumb. The thumb, yeah. So it's in quarantine for a month in Kansas. And then they ship it to Florida.

Did we get a statement from the orangutan? Why they send him to Kansas and not in Florida? We asked about his time in the Sedgwick County Zoo in Kansas. And he had this to say. Was it as bad as some people say? I guess not. It's happy as a clam, though. However, clams are not persons.

In Florida, in Wachula, which isn't Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires. We got to move to, that central Florida is the place to be, right? That's it. You got elephants. You got orangutans. You got gaiters. Oh my.

So if you're listening live to the podcast, Chewing the Fat, on the Blaze Podcast Network, you are a lucky human being. And there... Is that the CTF hotline ringing? The 214-7359356, powered by Patriot Mobile.

Hello, CTF Hotline. How may I help you? Hello? Hello, CTF Hotline. How may I help you? Can you hear me? That's the alarm of this call ending soon. Yes, hello, CTF hotline.

Can you hear me? Hey, so this is J.D.N. Houston. That's how we do the phone call. See, when you hear hello, CTF Hotline, how can I help you say, hey, this is J.D. Houston. How are you doing? J.D.N.U.U. It could be his first time calling a podcast hotline.

Have you not called the podcast hotline before? It got a live person answered? I've called 100 times that never had it live. Well, first, let me say you're welcome. Thank you. All right. I swear to God, I'm hanging up. What's up?

What's going to? What can we help you with J.D.? You can help me with it. I was in the middle of lunch just now, and I'm listening to yesterday's two-in-the-fat podcast, and y'all are bickering about the dishes. between downtown St. Pete and Gatorland. I don't know that I appreciate the word bickering, but go ahead.

Well, I heard four hours thrown out. I know, I know, I know. You said there's no possible way, and I was completely on your side. Thank you. But then when you map it out to an hour and a half, you weren't much of a believer about the hour and a half number. I will say in the middle of the day, probably around this time,

you could make that shot in an hour and a half, especially going past Lakeland. Oh, yeah. I don't think so because, no way, because my main man, my main man, sheriff. Oh, I know you're talking to. You start racing through Lakeland with my main man,

Grady Judd. He's pulling you over. He's pulling you over. He's a crazy guy. He has a law-abiding police officer. That gets in trouble for his comments. Well, he says some things sometimes that are... Questionable.

They should not come out of a sheriff's mouth. You know what? They should. A lot of people think they shouldn't. Anyway, J.D., if you are able to get through there without being pulled over, you're probably right. But I will say, I will say, if you're going from St. Pete to Gatorland, it's probably going to be an hour and a half hour, 45. At least. In traffic coming from Gatorland to St.P., I've made that drive in traffic before, and it took me three and a half hours.

Yeah. So everybody was right. Don't try to say that you were right. Everybody was right. I was right. Jeffie was right. I was right. I was right.

You were not correct. J.D., are you the one that did across the country listen to the podcast, or was that somebody else? Yeah, absolutely. That was me. Oh, nice. Nice. Thank you. Oh, and if you're curious why you don't, why you have.

a listener in Puerto Rico, I was there on my honeymoon for a couple weeks, and I was listening to the podcast all over that country. I wasn't curious, but thanks. I was curious because we have, we have registered in Puerto Rico five. We do have, now this may come as a surprise to you, but we do have more than one listener in Puerto Rico. Yeah, we got five. Now we have more than that.

Well, now you have four. Wait, you were there for what? For a honeymoon? Yeah, I was there for two weeks for my honeymoon. Wow. Is there just one cell phone in your household? Your wife doesn't have a cell phone? husband? Oh, no. I've got two and she's got one and they're all three

subscribed. Okay, so that means that no doubt. So let me ask you a question. You went to Puerto Rico and I decided when did this happen because there's not a lot going out there these days, is there? Well, I spent two weeks there at the end of October for those last two weeks and it was it was pretty quiet, pretty calm, not a hurricane thing out. You know that to celebrate the Dia de los Los Muerreta, that's a Mexican holiday. You go to Mexico, not Puerto Rico. We don't believe in that. I'm just giving your heads up for next year.

If you're looking for, you know, all these Diyadh's Mortsal celebrations. Is this where you wanted to go or the wife? Undisclosed. Yeah, the wife. He just don't want to be. Hey, you'll never guess. You'll never guess. You've let me down.

Wait, is she Puerto Rican? No, no, no. Oh, okay. She's from Florida. She's a Miami girl. There you go. Oh, so even worse. For real.

Hey, JD, thank you very much, man. I appreciate it. You're living in Houston now? Oh, yes, sir. There's some traffic there, bro. I used to live in Atlanta, so it's better than that. I don't know about that. You should listen to my cousin.

He spinned the dials in Houston. Oh, yeah? What's the station? Freddy Cruz. Freddy Cruz. Freddy Cruz? Freddy Cruz. That's my cousin.

Freddy Cruz. Yeah, hold on the radio in Houston. Freddy Cruz. Hold on, Freddy Cruz. Oh my gosh. He's on KRBE, Monday to Friday, 10 to 1. Okay, I'll give it a list. Middays?

Middays? Middays. He's doing middays on KRBE? KRB. In Houston? Yep. What station is that? What do they do?

The pop. Oh. Yeah. He's just read flip cards. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And he's giving a thousand dollar away. Thanks for listening to KRDE.

It's 1058, 45 minutes after the top of the hour, 85 degrees out right now. here's the next new pop song play it's 104.1 so FM KRB well you got the promo in for the cousin so good job thanks JD I appreciate it execution news on chewing the fat today I've had this story for a few days one of the remaining Texas seven prison escapees had requested a delay in his execution denied sorry so he's going down on November 13th. Now, one of the things that used to happen in many states is you get a last meal. It doesn't happen in Texas anymore.

We found that out. You're on death row. You get a meal just like everybody else, but you don't get to choose. Well, in Georgia, you still get to choose. Now, there's a man that's on death row, Ray Jefferson Cromarty. He was scheduled to die October 31st. I'm sorry, to be executed for his crime of murder. And he ordered steak, lobster, macaroni and cheese, chicken sandwich.

Hopefully it wasn't for Popeyes. Chicken Caesar salad with ranch dressing, double cheeseburger, fries, red beans, strawberry, milkshake, and apple juice. I thought you said this is one meal. That's a heck of a meal. That's like a good last meal. That's a heck of a meal. I am a fan of that meal.

That's a good meal. I would prefer a chocolate milkshake, but, you know, whatever. Whatever you are. You know, if you want the strawberry. Of course. Of course. What do you mean? Of course.

Of course you find something wrong with that order. It's like that order is perfect. No, it's not, though. Yes, it is. It's not perfect. By the way, I'll take two, you know, for acid reflex just in case. Yeah, they pulled those off the shelf. You can't get those anymore.

Oh, but I'm going to die with acid reflux. However, since he. said, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I don't want to be executed. And I think, I think you, the Supreme Court needs to hear my case again. So they halted it. So he got that meal. But they halted it last second. But then they said, they came back and said, oh, yeah, no, that's denied.

You're going down. He gets another last meal. They're giving him another one. Now, this one is, it sounds like this is getting the same thing. Hold on. Steak and lobster. Yep. Macaron and cheese.

Yep. Cube steak, rice and gravy. That wasn't on the first time. Steak and cheese sandwich. That wasn't on the first one. Double cheeseburger, that was there. Fries, that was there. Rantz dressing, that was there.

Strawberry milkshake. He's got to stop with the strawberry milkshake. It's got to be chocolate. And layered cake with one. white icing. Hello. Now that's going to happen on November 13th. So is the Texas one.

We could lose power. Come November 13th, next Wednesday? I mean, the entire lower half of the United States might lose power. Once again, we have breaking news on chewing the fat. You know our motto. You know the sign language. Wait, wait, it's not sign language.

It's just a... It's just a motto. A tag? A fat. Not a motto. It's not a tag. It's a motto. Breaking news on CTF.

You know our motto. When chewing the fat is on, news happens. When chewing the fat reports. Something like that. Something like that. News happens. It's something like that.

It's on yesterday. It's the podcast description. It can't be expected to remember all that. There's a, oh my God. Let's go to. did a Jeff out on the streets reporting for CTM. Debbie got breaking news for us. I sure do, Jeffrey.

Thank you for putting me on today. You're welcome. You're looking good out there. I know it's a little cold and rainy where I'm at, but I just want to get you to the news as soon as I heard about it. Two million pounds of chicken products have been recalled in eight states.

I mean, it was just a couple of days ago. We've got pork and chicken. We've got chicken from Vietnam. We've got Nestle's. What else did we have? Was it pork? No, it wasn't pork. It was chicken.

Veggies. And veggies. Yes. Vegetable stuff. Oh, geez. And now we're back to chicken again. Only this is American chicken. Damn it.

Not talking about that Vietnam stuff. They're all the Vietnamese dominating the news. We need our chicken to be in the front line of the recalls. Simmons prepared foods incorporated at Gentry Arkansas establishment. I don't like them. Recall. I'm more of a Tyson chicken guy. They're in Arkansas too, by the way.

Oh, really? Oh, yeah. You ever, if you ever get an opportunity. Is there a museum or like a factory in that? You drive by those chicken farms, man. Are they being cooped up? You get the air quality. Oh, it's the best.

The chicken farm area? Oh, yeah. Oh, nice. I mean, just, they got chicken coops rode up for miles out there, man. Oof. And yes, the chickens are not free-range. They're now or they are? No, they are not.

So you can see them. Well, you know, I would consider them free range because they were brought in and put into a cage. That's free range enough for a chicken for me. Anyway, they're recalling 2,071,397 pounds of poultry products. It's a big number. It's a big number. They may be contaminated with extraneous materials.

That one is definitely contaminated with an extraneous materials. material, specifically metal. Okay. Are chickens of metal now? Specifically metal, yeah. So far from the cages. They're eating the cages. Yeah, they're eating the cages.

They're eating the cages. They're trying to cage out. The poultry items were produced from October 21st to November 4th. I mean, this is fresh chicken now. Oh, this is not like the Vietnamese chicken. This is freshly killed chicken. It's not the Vietnamese chicken. No, it is not.

Two years in stock. The product is something for recall bear, they got give you numbers. you can figure out. Give me the numbers. Hold on. I got numbers. Give me some numbers because what if I have some of that chicken that I forgot the company? Oh, that's a piece of metal.

You're good. Don't swallow. Yeah, don't swallow. Okay. Establishment number P-1949, P-486, or P-8-37. Now, that's inside the USDA mark of inspection. So these already were inspected. Wait, wait.

What was it like? number? P-1. P-837. I have 3-9. Oh, you're good then. Okay, good. These items were shipped to institutions. Really, are you an institution now? Yes.

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Texas. Minnesota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania. And Texas. No, you're good. I'm about my ticket online, though. Oh, that could be.

Okay, okay. If you bought your chicken online in Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Georgia, California, Arkansas, Arizona, or Alabama, it's possible. You got metals. The problem was discovered during further processing. Oh. So hold on. So you do, you produce the chicken, you cut it up, put it in a package, and there's more processing after that? I guess so, yeah.

We wrap it up and run it through there. I need to figure how the chicken is made. There's been no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption. So, I mean, they've either people have eaten. the little pieces of metal and moved on with their lives or no one's eating it yet. Is it just metal or precious metals? I don't think it's precious.

It's most definitely won't be precious. Is it a farmer in Arkansas? Gentry Arkansas. Is it, is it in Arkansas the place with the... Don't start with me with the diamonds. With the diamonds and the gold? It is, but it is.

Okay. No gold. Oh, no gold, just diamonds. So maybe we have some precious metals there. You know what? It's possible. Maybe that's what the chickens are used to cut through the cages. Hey, that one is rough.

I'm just trying to get all the facts, Jeffrey. Now, the concern is that a lot of their products may be frozen and institutional freezers just have the chicken there ready to use, right? So they're saying don't use it. Throw them away or return them to place of purchase. Why would you throw them away? They always keep saying to throw it away. So they're trying to save money.

Oh, they don't want to pay back. Refund. Just throw it away. Yeah. Just throw it away. No, I pay like 10 bucks for this. A chicken ain't cheap. You can quote me on that these days either.

Yeah, 10 bucks. Used to be you can run to the store and pick up some wings and have a good deal. You know, it was worth a couple of bucks. Yeah, 10 bucks. Chicken ain't cheap today. Where are you getting your chicken? I'm just telling you. Where are you getting your chicken?

At the high-rate chicken place, I guess. The chicken I get from Maldi is like, yeah. It's like. That's the Vietnamese chicken, my friend. Oh, okay. just saying one of my own they're like 10 bucks

I'm just saying anyway that's our breaking news report out of the streets thank you for recording that was our breaking news story here on CTF thank you know we say when CTF is recording

recording news happens something like but I thought you're going to do the breaking news about Lady Gaga that's the only reason why I thought you're going to do the breaking news are you joking around about Lady Gaga

is there is we never breaking news story? We do. We do have another breaking news story. Apparently we've got more breaking news here on CTF. Let's go to Jeff out on the streets, reporting. Jeff, you're looking good out there. It looks a little wet. Yes, it's windy and rainy out here, Jeffie, but I still have breaking news for you today. You know, you know what we say here on Chewing the Fat? CTF. When CTF is recording, news happens.

Is that the motto? Is that our mom? Okay, so make sure that's right. So apparently Lady Gaga canceled her show last night in Vegas, the Enigma show. She posted a picture of her with an IV in. Something's wrong. I don't know if it had to do with the fall that took place a little while ago. Right.

If you haven't seen the video of Glenn Beck falling with Lady Gaga in Vegas. Come on, man. You have to see it. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing. It is. A sheep, you know, popped up and. said she was okay, but apparently not now.

You don't know. She said she'd be back tonight for the show because this is, you know, she's got the Vegas deal. Oh, yeah. She doesn't show up for a couple of shows. They start deducting Gaga Cash. But, uh, can I quote you on that last one? Gaga Cash.

Yes. Okay. She doesn't show up for a couple of shows. Gaga Cash gets deducted quickly. Uh, so anyway, we hope she's okay. Bless her heart and gets back to a performing and showing. the world the talents of Lady Gaga. This has been a breaking news segment on

CTF. Thanks, Jimmy, for reporting out on the streets. Another breaking news story here on Chewing the Fat. Did you miss the other breaking news? When Chewing the Fat is recording, news happens. Do you forget about the other one? What's the other one now? What are you talking about? John Christ.

Oh, that's nothing. That's nothing. We don't need a breaking news story for him. Okay. Some, you know, religious comedians. out there trying to talk chicks and having sex with a big deal. Thank you. And he's, look, who hasn't done that before?

I realize, I realize that in today's world, the first hint of the word no means the world stops, right? No means no. But in a lot of people's world, the first no is just an opportunity to continue to try. to get a yes. But in the Chris story, at some point when the no meant no, he stopped. Right. He didn't move on. He just attempted to get a yes after that first no.

And who hasn't done that in their days? Oh, really? Why are you looking at me? Nobody? I feel bad now. Do not look into me. I mean, there are many people, and we've interviewed them on this show, that believe that no means yes.

I mean, that is, you've heard them on the show that believe no means yes. Not anymore, though, my friends. Not anymore. No means no. A big day in the toy world as the Toy Hall of Fame announces the 2019 inductees. And Nick Ricketts from the Toy Hall of Fame joins us.

Nick, how in the world are you? I'm great, thanks. It's a big day for it. us here. I know that. I mean, we've been celebrating most of the morning, and we're going to continue the celebration on into the afternoon. So earlier this year, we talked about the finalists for this year's possible inductions. We had the care bears. We had the Fisher Price corn popper. We had Jenga. We had Masters of the Universe. My Little Pony. Nerf Blaster. Risk. We had a smartphone. We had a top. We had

magic, the gathering, matchbox cars, and the coloring book. We're all possible inductees into the strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York. And today, we have announced the three new inductees

into the museum. And Nick Rickett's a curator at the museum joins us here on Chewing the Fat. And, okay, Nick. Don't let me down now because I voted. I voted a number of times. Do not let me down on who goes in. Are you ready?

Do we have a drum roll for Nick or anything? We don't have a drum roll? Seriously, hold on, Nick. I'm a little disappointed. We don't have a drum roll for Nick? I refuse to continue this interview without a drum roll. So just settle down, Nick. Hold on.

Seriously, we are, I'll jump. Thank you. Okay. Is it like an 80,000, just a drum roll forever, like from the band? We just never had the ending? I'll tell you, Nick, this show is, poof. Anyway, Nick, go ahead, because we just, you know. Sure.

Okay. All right, so don't let me down. All right, the first one, the coloring book got in. Okay. It's a hundred-year-old. Ah, yeah, yeah. I don't remember voting for that in my voting for house, but go ahead. Well, I'm sure you voted for the next one.

That's Matchbox cars. I'm okay with that, though. I'm okay with the matchbox cars going in. They deserve it. They deserve it. Okay, good. And finally, Magic the Gathering. Oh, I mean,

I mean, is the Queen here? Magic to the Gathering. See, those are great additions, no question. I was kind of, you know, I can't believe that the cornhopper didn't get in. I mean, I'm disciplined. I mean, the cornhopper is one of my favorites. Yeah, any classic toy, it's a pretty safe bet that eventually it will get in. I mean, what happened?

Did big cornhopper not pay enough money to get into the museum? No, that never happens. As a real museum, we can't allow that. Yeah, that's what they say. But then the cornhopper sits all by himself over there, corner. Yeah, sure thing. So we got Magic the Gathering,

Max Brock's Cars and the coloring book go into the Hall of Fame this year. When is the big ceremony or was it today? I mean, the actual ceremony happened today, right? Yes.

How come we were not broadcasting live from this thing? I am disappointed now. I wanted to be there live. So you had, what, a few million people show up at the Straw Museum? Yeah, as usual, and many cameras and That's fantastic.

Spent most of the day doing interviews like this. I know. It's really cool what you guys are doing, and I really appreciate it. You coming out of the show. So the Toy Hall of Fame is in Rochester, New York, and you guys are open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Yeah, not 24 hours a day.

Usually 10 to 5 a little bit later on Friday. And then you can, do you give tours or I just come in and play with the toys? You can just come in and play with the toys. I'm in love with that. If you'd like to make a small donation, we can probably arrange a tour. Nice. And I can find out more at toy hallof fame.org. Absolutely.

So when do we find out the, when does my corn and popper come back on the list again? Well, you can go online and nominate it for next year already. anytime. Yep, you can nominate online. Actually, it's at www.wmuseumof-play.org. But also you can find us to Google Toy Hall of Fame. Right. So, yeah, people probably are already voting if they have favorites that did not get in this year.

We have campaigns sometimes for certain toys. They're really popular. So can I just, if I go there now, I got to go there while I'm talking to you. If I go there now, it doesn't have a list of the things that I can now, or I just send in what I think is worth it. You can send in whatever you think, yeah. Nice.

Yep. And then you decide, well, you know, since Jeff wanted the cornhopper, we'll put that on next year, right? Yeah, I'm not the only one that goes into making that decision, but yes. Absolutely. How do I run for the board? How do I run for the board for the nominees for this? How do I make that happen?

Well, send me an email. I could get you started, I guess. Really? I just felt, I think I became a fan of you, Nick Rickens, curator of the Toy Hall of Fame. Let's go. I want to be a part of this. If nothing else, I want the corn popper.

Well, we actually do have an advisory committee for the Toy Hall of Fame that's separate from the board. Okay, well, then I want to be part of the advisory. recommend. Yeah. Whatever, whatever, whatever, however it takes to get the corned popery. That's what it takes. Okay, Nick, I appreciate it.

Listen, very much. Thank you for taking the time today. I really appreciate it. You guys do one great work, and it's always fun. Congratulations to the new 2019 inductees into the end of the Hall of Fame. Magic, the Gathering, Matchbox Cars, and the coloring book. amazing that that wasn't even in there yet. Unbelievable.

But again, go to the Toy Hall of Fame, or you can Google, it's the for, if I want to nominate toys, you didn't say Toy Hall of Fame, though. Toy Hall of Fame. Toy Hall of Fame would be the best, yeah, but a museum of play. Museum of play,

that's what it was. But Toy Hall of Fame will get you there, and you can nominate whatever toys aren't already in. You'd be able to see the inductees that are already there. And it'll give you a quick look at the museum as well. So if you're ever in, I mean, make the trip to Rochester, I'm a little disappointed that I haven't

been there yet. In fact, not long ago, I was talking to my wife and she goes, we should go there. Well, yeah, duh. Yeah, you'd have a great time. So, Nick, thank you very much. I really appreciate it. My pleasure.

You have no idea how pissed I am at the cornhopperist. Is that the one you would it for? I know. Look, I just can't believe of the corn and popper, isn't it? No, but did you vote for it? Well, yes.

Okay, then. I voted for the corn popper, and I voted for, on behalf of my daughter, I voted my little pony. No, it's too early for my little pony. I said, I thought the same thing kind of about that. It's too early. The Nerf blasters were. That's too early. I think so, too.

Who else was on the line? They had the smartphone, which is kind of weird on that. The top, not wait too, way too early. The top, that should be in already. Yeah, that should be in already. Right. Care bears. We're getting close.

They're walking the fine line. I know. Yeah, we're getting close. Jenga. Oh, definitely should have been already. The day the monopoly. Yeah, the day monopoly and like card games went in, boom, jenga goes in. Masters of the universe.

And he's old. He's old. I know. Yeah, he's old. But for sure, the top and the corn popper. Come on, the corn. Who does, who as a child didn't love and as a parent thought, I can't wait until we can get rid of this thing, the corn popper.

Right? Right. I mean, that's, that's a toy that you want. Those are the toys you want in your life. Are the toys that make the kid happy and annoy the adults. Hello, they're perfect. Perfect. So the museum of play.org or just go to Toy Hall of Fame.

They opened a four-star store in Frisco, making it, it's the sixth brick-and-mortar location that Amazon has. So cool. We should go. Is it? We should go. See, I'm kind of torn. What the hell, dude? They've got a 4,500 square feet store.

Roughly offers 2,500 items. that are rated four stars or higher on its website. In addition to trending products across a variety of categories, including home and kitchen toys, kids, devices, electronics, and more. Do they have food? It doesn't sound like it. Because remember the other Amazon stores, you could just have foods and then you just put it in your whatever bag and you just walk out.

Yeah, that was their first try at the grocery store. So this is not a grocery store hybrid. this is like a best buy. Right. Right. Yeah, it almost sounds like an Amazon. What's the stores that they used to have at the air? They probably still do actually.

The airports that have all the stuff. The stuff stores at the airport where you buy the little gadgets. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you know, like Brookstones. Where there you go in and you get the. There's one right here in DFW. You get the massage chair and you pick up the little drum. and you pick up the coffee cup that says Bob is sexy at 80 or whatever you know and the

blanket heavy blanket whatever you know all kinds of stuff right kind of feels like that don't forget the headphones don't forget because you forgot them at home so you have to buy the $2,000 headphones that are like 99 cents at Walmart and oh is that a drone yeah so they're flying drones out in the hallway can't get that on the airplane but go ahead and buy it here so I mean, it kind of feels like it's the new Brookstone. A Brookstone. We'll see. I mean, plus... Are you going to go? Should we go?

If I happen to be driving by with nothing else to do, I'd probably pull it. Is it plain or right? Frisco. Friscoe. Yeah, that's what I said. But if... To make it a destination, I find it probably not. Well, it's history, too. Probably not. Because I feel like if I wanted something that's in that store,

if I just order it, they'll bring it right to my house. There's no way. There's no we could order from my website. is because that's what they do. No, but you can't order that one. Amazon does. So there's a website I could go to. Yeah, what you do is you just go to Amazon. So I go to the forest?

Search. And there it is. And then the next thing you know, it's at your front door. And I kind of feel like that's a little bit easier than driving. If you live in the Metroplex, driving to Frisco. That's a long way. And even if you live in California, Friscoe's a little bit longer. But if you just drive into Friscoe,

Just to see an Amazon, a 4,500 square foot Amazon store. It seems to be it much. Is that big, 4,400? I mean, it's a store. No, you know what you know, I mean, it's a good size store. But it's a Brookstone. How big are the Brooks stones? Let's look at it up.

So, I mean, the average, according to Google, the average full-service neighborhood grocery store is $10,000. square feet, I believe that to be small for a grocery store. Because, I mean, obviously, being in the grocery business for a number of years, and frequenting, I know this may come as a surprise, but frequenting grocery stores here in the great state of Texas and other states that I've lived, 10,000 square feet seems a little small. But like the regular, it says here, according to Google, average hardware storage generally range from 2,000 to 20,000.

So 4,500 square feet. I mean, that's just a store. It's not You're not going to It's not like the Nebraska Furniture store out there And that's out there is that out there in Frisco 2 Yeah

So they're just trying to capitalize on that I mean Nebraska furniture has got the size of Vermont It's And they have their own Four level Parkings like Oh yeah And you rent golf carts to ride around

And buy stuff in I mean it's amazing And then next one They have a nice little concert hall It's pretty cool. I mean, who doesn't want to go to the Nebraska Furniture Mart for a concert? And Jeff, if you're going down a little by the street,
