Starting point is 00:01:07 I worked for a number of years in the grocery business. In fact, most of, a lot of my younger years, I went to grocery stores and walked stores and walked warehouses because my father worked for superfoods, which was an IGA warehouse independent grocery association. And so he was like the, you know, the go-between, the middleman, the guy that kept the grocery stores happy, and made sure the warehouse was doing them right and deliveries were on time. And, you know, you walked the stores. So when I was a kid, we'd go on these trips. And we'd drive to all these cities in Michigan for these road trips. Well, it'll be fun.
Starting point is 00:01:51 And we stopped at grocery stores. And my dad would say a load. The manager would be Saturday. we'd walk the store, we got to take a look at the store. So, I mean, I've been walking grocery stores for a long time. And aside from the fact that I've been eating a lot of the things in the grocery store most of my life, I've walked them and know what they're supposed to look like. So, I mean, my wife still gets pissed at me when we go to the grocery store.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I'm straightening up, you know, produce racks, and I'm pulling the produce. The produce people working just look at me like, what? Because I pull produce and I just hand it to them here. It's bad stuff. Get it off the wreck. I was like, what are you doing? You don't work here. And I mean, I know good stores.
Starting point is 00:02:36 I know good produce departments. I let you know the color schemes, all of it. I got it. So what I read that, you know, Facebook is now going to add food delivery feature. And there's a new place here that delivered food the other day. hear for us. And Amazon is creating, you know, their newest thing that you're going to be able to, you know, their Amazon dash that they created.
Starting point is 00:03:09 You know, they've got the Amazon Dash that they've created. And you go through your house, bloop, and sit your own little personal scanner where you order things on the Amazon Dash. Come on now. I mean, I don't know. I like technology. I'm happy about the technology, no question. And I like, I mean, Amazon, I mean, forget about it.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Forget about it. They're going to put the grocery stores, you settle down. It's going to be the new way you better hop on board, figure out a way to hop on board, be the store for Amazon, something. Because I don't know. That business is probably already long gone to be the deal for Amazon. They've got one big warehouse not far from where I live. in the Metroplex and that boy, bad boy, they probably need 10 of them here by now, that size,
Starting point is 00:04:06 just to fulfill the orders. But has Facebook, though they said Facebook is going to start where you'd be able to order food, Wednesday as part of its efforts to connect users and businesses. I didn't see that on my Facebook page. Let's go to Facebook and see, shall we? Oh, the Facebook page, I don't see where I can, it doesn't say, hey, Fatso, order food, here. So I guess they don't have it.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Buy and sell groups. Better like games, photos. I never look at any of this stuff. Let's see what the side sells. Portals, Palm Holmes, create an event, payment history, send money. I haven't already done anything from you. I don't need
Starting point is 00:04:48 to send any money. Create an ad. No, I don't need that. Discover groups, live video. Okay, let's go to the buy and sell groups and see what the heck that is. Buy and sell groups. Oh, wow. Oh, trade, garage sales all in my area. They're all going on in my area. I've got to look through that.
Starting point is 00:05:08 It might be some good stuff. But that's not shops. Okay, maybe under shops. Let's see what shops are. We shop and what's going on. Oh, these are all personal little web shops. Oh, look at the Dolly Parton, blue smoke. Oh, my gosh. From the Smoky Mountains is so pretty. And the little coins and the Second Amendment coins. bumper stickers. I support the police, not criminal bumper stickers. Pat doesn't have one of those on his car.
Starting point is 00:05:36 The Pat Gray automobile. And look at the flight coffee cups and the airborne coffee cups and the things and the stuff. And Donald Trump's shirts and masks. And I said, I read where Donald Trump masks are outselling Hillary masks. And for the last number of years, speaking of that, speaking of it, shopping. For the last number of years, the person who has sold the most Halloween masks has won the election. So I wonder if Donald just went out and bought. I just go out and buy a couple million Donald Trump masks, so I'll sell the most.
Starting point is 00:06:19 That doesn't count, Don. I mean, you might sell the most there, but that doesn't count. Okay? Just letting you know. But anyway, he's leading the, leading the package. on selling the most Halloween masks. So it might be a good sign for you Donald Trump fans. All right. But just remember now last week, last Sunday, we missed that it was World Food Day. Did you know that? Did you know that it was World Food Day?
Starting point is 00:06:50 I didn't think so. I didn't think so. And it was pretty, I mean, 700. and 93 million people in the world struggle with food insecurity. Now that's, remember we got to think about wording here. 793 million people in the world struggle with food insecurity, meaning they do not have sustainable access to enough food to lead an active life. Today on World Food Day, which was last Sunday,
Starting point is 00:07:27 Scholars from the global economy and development program present a new report on the scope of the efforts to end hunger worldwide, particularly in rural areas. Well, those rural areas could, I don't know, grow their own food. The 2016 update progressed toward SDG2. The U.S. responds to the challenge of global food and nutrition security. Mapping needs, policies, and resources in Africa. I mean, we all need maps.
Starting point is 00:07:59 She told us that almost 10 years ago now, right? Could America's smallest state lead the way toward the next energy age? Unlocking urban potential in Africa. These are what's going on around the global connection of the United Nations. And yet here in America, we are so, so. Well, I would say lucky and happy. but they, the United Nations, would say we are so horrific and overweight that we are able to order food from our homes and have it delivered. I would say, ah, yes, we can.
Starting point is 00:08:49 And as Sam Kinnison said many years ago, perhaps the people who live in, I don't know, the desert should move to where the food is. The experts at web.com want to bill your business a successful website for free, just like we did for these current web.com customers.
