Welcome to the I Love Seville Show, guys. My name is Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us on a Friday in downtown Charlottesville. It's our last show of the week for our flagship show, the I Love Seville Show, on its namesake network, the I Love Seville Network. The network is booming. If you haven't realized yet, we've added an additional content vertical to our platform. We will publish, we'll start with Charlottesville City, the real estate transactions that are being recorded on the I Love Seville Network. This takes work for us. So this is content that we're going to put behind a paywall,

but we're going to do it affordably at $8 a month. $8 a month. We're going to publish every day, Monday through Friday, the real estate transactions that closed. So we started in April. Anything that's closed in April in the city of Charlottesville, you can find on the I Love Seville Network. What we need to do, Judah, is on Iloveceville.com.

We need to create a menu. bar tab, I loveseville.com, needs to be a menu bar tab that says subscribe and the subscribe needs to transition potential interested parties to the substack. So a new venue bar tab, subscribe, which you can send them to the substack. If we can do that by COB, that would be awesome, please, sir. Our game plan is to roll out this proof of performance, which is already being received favorably by some. subscribers. It launched 24 hours ago, and we already have a couple of dozen people on board. I would imagine that's going to continue to wildfire expand. Our proof of performance is the city, and then we're going to hit Almore County. And then if we get Almore County done right, then I'll probably expand to a neighboring county with an eye on maybe Green, maybe Flubana. Interestingly, Green County has 2,000 new construction units in the hopper.

I can't believe I'm saying that. 2,000 units of new construction housing stock is coming to sleepy Green County, which 26 years ago when I first moved to Charlottesville, Green County was known as the hamlet for Haney's and Morris's and, shifflets and tailors. It goes from a hamlet or a very sleepy community for shiflays and shiflets and morris's and haineys and tailors and it's now arguably the fastest growing county by housing type or incremental housing units in all of this region central Virginia that is 300,000 people strong. Stanley Martin's a partner of the show. Stanley

Martin Holmes a fantastically talented developers, Stanley Martin. They're dedicated to building homes that cater to each person's unique needs and lifestyles. Stanley Martin has high quality single family homes, town homes and condominiums, design and constructed with innovative techniques that ensure exceptional efficiency and aesthetic appeal. Stanley Martin is leading the charge in Green County. They're geniuses. The people that push the dirt around are geniuses. I mean, think about the real.

risk and think about the visionary skill set of pursuing hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of units in Green County 10 years ago. Think about the risk profile involved with that. Think about the dry powder you need, the access to capital you need. think about the analysis and strategy the politicking the lobbying the patients that goes in before COVID targeting a hamlet for shifflets and heinies and morrises and tailors for hundreds of incremental housing units and hundreds of acres to purchase unbelievable and now they're in the cap-bird seat.

And they're in cap-bird seat because they've done it honestly, fairly, communicatively, strategically. AstraZeneca's got 600 people on the cusp of working on the Green County, Almore County line with a starting salary of $125,000. $125,000, the starting salary for AstraZeneca and its new world headquarters on the Green Almaro line. Genius!

And we know the supply chain tied to biotechnology all these jobs that are going to be riding the teat, sucking the teat. Give me a little sucking the teat motion, Judah Wickhauer. Can we put you on the two shot? What does sucking the teet look like? You're probably better at that. I didn't do that. How many new, you don't want to do a sucking the teet sound in motion over there?

Not really. Okay. You don't have to, Judah. Not something I want to. This is Judah. enshrine on the internet. This is Judah's second favorite. I'm a meme on the internet every day and everywhere.

And I'm encouraging the Charlottesville subreddit to pursue some Jerry Miller references because I got a McCallin-12 proposition bet that's weekly tied to how many times I mentioned on the Charlottesville subreddit with a viewer and listener of our Five and Fair talk show. So please mention Jerry Miller. There's someone that's got a handle on the Charlottesville subreddit. That is Jerry Miller is my daddy. I've seen that one. Literally keeping my bar stocked.

Jerry Miller is my daddy. That's not me, by the way. And there's a posting and commenting history that backs that up. The teat of biotechnology, this biotechnology beltway, is the real influence and impact population-wise, affluence-wise, amenity-wise, housing stock-wise. Yes, it's 600 in AstraZeneca. Yes, it's a handful of 100 at the Paul Manning Biotech Institute, but it's these smaller businesses. We talked about one last week or earlier this week. Agrosphere. Agrosphere.

Agrasphere, yeah. They're using time, T-H-Y-M-E, I believe, to, I think it's a like anti-insect kind of spray for plants. So, you know, it's not DDT, it's not chemicals. Right. And it smells like time. Smells like time. Keep going. I'm eating my spaghetti while you're talking here, this is my lunch. This is what I've literally, I literally got here at 8 in the morning and have not moved from this seat in four hours and 45 minutes. I think agrospheres is, if I remember correctly, they are employing like 53 people.

53 people, yeah. And all white-collar jobs, all heavy-hitter jobs. Yeah. This is, that's an example, the agrosphere of the sucking on the teat, sucking the teat of the biotechnology beltway. You have the talent coming from Paul Banning and the biotech Institute on Fontaine. You have a global company on the Admiral Green County line, Astrozenica, which is potentially the pinnacle of the profession. If you don't get in the pinnacle of the profession, the talent can matriculate from Fontaine to Eli Lilly and Goochland,

which is investing even more money in Goochland County than the $4.5 billion that AstraZeneca is doing in Almar at Rivana Station, Rivana Futures. You also have Merck billions of dollars on the other side of the mountain. The supply chain, the people that ride the coattails of these global institutions and the genius of Stanley Martin and these folks that are pushing dirt and developing farmland, which literally a decade ago, 15 years ago, was forgotten dirt. When I got here in 26 years ago, I've been in this community for 26 years.

There was nothing north of Fashion Square Mall. You go from Barracks Road to Fashion Square Mall. There was some commercial development, not like it is now. North of Fashion Square Mall, forget about it. Forget about it. Forget about it. Forget about it. Now you clearly have a corridor that's connecting what?

We're going to say the Snyder tennis courts. No, let's be straightforward. There's clearly a straight line that goes, giant Pantops shopping center, down Freebridge, past the shanty town on the banks of the Rivana River where people are shooting the white china and leaving their dirty syringes,

next to the river. Chasing the dragon. Chase that dragon. You pass the shanty town. We're not calling it Sandersville. We call it Paineville. I'm getting distracted. I'm sorry. And then you take the same stretch downtown, West Main, up Barracks Road, down 29, and connects all the way to

through green. So wait, you're going to... Into call pepper? You're going down Pantops and then... That's the stretch. If I had a zip line, if I had all the money in the world and I could create a business, I would create a gondola transportation business. Everybody laughs about my gondola idea.

The gondola would have a park and ride at the top of Pantops Mountain. The park and ride of the gondola would include a touch point in the city of Charlottesville. Maybe that's West Main, maybe that's Preston, somewhere in that vicinity. Maybe that's the city yard where the city is taking 10, 12 acres and storing their dump trucks and their heavy equipment in a community that's 10.2 square miles only landlocked and has no more dirt to develop. And makes a lot of sense for City Hall to take 10 plus acres and store their pickup trucks there, as opposed to allowing it to being developed. Maybe you take the city yard in the Star Hill neighborhood and make that a gondola touch point in a park and ride. You have the gondola ride all the way to somewhere on 29 for a park and ride. The gondola then can go into Force Lakes, Holly Mead for a park and ride, get off and get on, and then go to green and call pepper beyond.

Forget the cat, Charlottesville Amar Transit. I mean, let's forget the Charlottesville Amar Transit. empty buses, tin cans that are completely empty, that are costing taxpayers millions of dollars every year. Bus stops that have no cover from inclement weather, hot, rain, cold, or snow. That's probably the most egregious. Never on time. Always empty. Subsidized fares and bus drivers that now are leveraging collective bargaining in unions to essentially collect 2x what they were

collecting and compensation prior to COVID. Make that make sense. Screw cat. Give me the Charlottesville-Almoral gondola system. You think I'm crazy. You think I'm crazy. Gets the cars off the roads. It uses the sky.

It uses the sky. Doc Brown saw it. Emmett and Einstein. And we certainly know that Marty and Jennifer enjoyed it. Doc saw it. He just wasn't a businessman and couldn't strategize and organize and actualize it.

A lot I want to cover on the program. I want to talk about the Almaro County budget. Supervisor Mike Pruitt's on the program. On, is it Wednesday? Mike Pruitt is, I think he's watching the program right now. I hope he hears this. Mike Pruitt is intelligent, hardworking,

committed, talented, ambitious, focused, generous, philanthropic. I hope you hear that, Mike. I promise you Mike Pruitt, when you come on the program on Wednesday, it will be the fairest interview. I'll ask you tough questions, but you're eloquent, well-spoken, you're an attorney, you're used to being challenged.

There will be no gotcha stuff, and I think he knows that. Mike's politics and I are about 180 degrees apart on a lot of of things, not all things, we're both extremely committed to Almaro County. I'm raising two, my wife and I are raising two boys in there. Two boys in Almar County. We have four, four and a half acres in Ivy. And I'll tell a story. Previously, we've, we've lived in this house for two years. And for this past two years, we've had a lawn service. You want to hear something crazy? we've had a fantastic Hispanic gentleman service our house in Almar County and Ivy. He followed us from servicing our home in Glenmore, where we lived for four years.

I like to move. I see it as an opportunity to build wealth. My wife gets frustrated, but finally she's on board. I think the capital gains thresholds of $250,000 for an individual people, and $500,000 for a married couple should, be increased without question. They have not moved those benchmarks, 250K for the individual, 500 for the married couple, and a generation. And in that period of time, home values have escalated dramatically. So those capital gains benchmarks are crappy. We in Glenmore literally

hit that 500K number as a couple, bought for seven, sold for one, two. This is all public record. In fact, one of the meme accounts documented our sales journey on Instagram. Speaking of recorded real estate transactions, we're doing that now on I Love Seville. $8 a month, the price of a cup of coffee is going to get you every real estate transaction in the city of Charlottesville. And once we fine-tune the proof of performance for the city, we'll take it to Almaro County and some of the surrounding counties as well. $8 a month gets you edge. You can seek alpha. for $8 a month with I Love Cebo.

We go from Glenmore to Ivy and the Hispanic crew that serviced our 0.9 acres, literally under one, it was 0.9 in Glenmore, followed us to Ivy, where we have four, just under four and a half. Initially the quote he gave us was $150 to cut all the four acres and change, $150. $150. Then he's like, dude, this is, I can't do this. I can't do this for $150 anymore. You see, there's three team members here. One has a weed eater. One has a riding lawnmower. And the other one has basically a super deluxe riding lawnmower. We can't do it for a bone fiddy. It's like, I'm like, all right, what can you do it for? He then says, two-fitty. Two-fitty. I'm like, two-fitty. Two-fitty. I'm like, two-fitty. Two-fitty is a lot of money. I can't do two-fitty. We do it for less. We settle on

225 for the cut. Now we're back in 26, the escalated world of the war in Iran, the escalated fuel costs tied to the war in Iran. That 225 for the same acreage, that 225

for literally the same grass, what do you think that number's at now? Encroaching on 400? $400. $400 for the same dirt. So it goes from 225 to 400. That's a delta of a bone 75. Let's call it 26 cuts a year. 26 cuts a year. You're talking $4,500. My wife and I made the decision with a second grader in private school and with a third

grader that's about to start preschool in August, we made the decision to pull the trigger on a 48-inch John Deere riding lawnmower. The 48-inch John deer riding lawn mower, soup to nuts with delivery, ran us $2,800. I just told you for this year alone, the Hispanic crew that was going to cut our grass, that is so kind, so considerate, so talented, so benevolent, benevolent, so easy to talk to, was going to charge us $4,500. So there's a delta there of $1,700 in the first summer. first summer alone.

That means by purchasing a John Deere ourselves, we're going to save, now we're going to have cost ourselves tied to gas, and most certainly our time. My wife's to stay-at-home mom. We're going to save in summer one, year one, call it ballpark $1,500. And year two, it's all gravy. year two it's all gravy.

That means you're looking at a quarterly tuition payment just from buying a John Deere tractor. And these are the types of like fallouts or storylines or cause and effects of a geopolitical crap storm. I was going to use a bad word. Trump yesterday said escalated gas is going to stay around for a while longer. Surprise. Yeah, no surprise.

It doesn't take our rocket scientist to figure out that the gas goes up quickly, but it comes down extremely slowly. Wild. So a John Deere at $2,800-48-inch riding lawnmower is going to save us $1,500 in year one. And it's going to create an extra tuition payment every year moving forward, quarterly tuition payment. Think about that. now there's time involved with it and cutting four acres

that's why people bear sons that was not sexist at all I mean throughout recorded history people have born sons and daughters for different reasons they've done the dirty they've done the dirty sure uh James watching watching the program he says

there's still hardly no great restaurants north of fashion square mall However, there is one cool sports bar, but everything else is generally meh. Is that Timmerwood Tap House you're talking, James Watson? Patrick Bull is watching the program. The only thing at Pantops, at the top of Pantops, I can recall, was Aunt Sarah's Pancake House. That was a long time ago, Patrick Bull, but I remember that. Kay Powell is watching in Green County and says, we don't need any more homes or apartments in Green County. There's so many people moving here, there's not enough space on the roads.

The schools are full. She's exactly right. There's 2,000 new homes coming to Green County, though, okay? So giddy up and get ready. And speaking of sports bars, here's some breaking news for the viewers and listeners that are watching our fine and fair talk show. Speaking of sports bars, a sports bar is being planned and soon will open. I've been told by multiple trusted sources in the old South Street brewery location. Multiple sources have confirmed that a sports bar will soon open in the old South Street brewery location.

It's just what you've been asking for for years. Who has, who's been saying sports bar for Charlottesville City for years? Who's been saying sports bar for Charlottesville City? I really need to eat my lunch. Who's been saying sports bar for Charlottesville City since Wild Wing Cafe and Buffalo Wild Wings moved from Barrett's Road, Judah? Yep.

Right? How many spaghetti on my face? I don't think so. A pimple that's coming. A pit bull? A pimple. Oh, self-conscious about it. That's some breaking news for you.

Multiple sources have confirmed that a sports bar is coming to the old Wild Wing Cafe local, or excuse me, a sports bar is coming to the old South Street brewery location. It's already set up for it. It's genius. Deep throat. Comments are coming in. Number one in the family, deep throat. Number one in the family, deep throat.

So interesting that Green gets 2,000 units of family worker housing. Charlottesville gets student units only, luxury units at that. The job growth, as I have pointed out repeatedly, is negative in the city and more and more positive as you get further out. Deep throat says, and I guess the amenities such as they are of the city of Charleston, are nothing compared to being close to your job

at AstraZeneca or Injic and having some acreage. Someone explain this to the Gilliken gang. The problem is we can't speak to a five-year-old. Deep throat, I love it. Bring the smoke. Deep throat continues. Is this photo still on screen? We'll be in a second.

Keep it back. on screen. I've been doing a lot of traffic analysis recently. Most of the horrible choke points are within the city and stay choked all day, not just rush hour. The commuter choke points are fewer and less intense, but one that is truly horrible is free bridge. And he says, I absolutely love your gondola idea. In terms of buses, I've said over and over running empty buses at 10 miles an hour along serpentine routes, unpredictably at 40 minutes headway, is not transit. It is transit theater. If you want to cut carbon emissions, you need to get people on transit for long, linear, predictable commute runs, whether by bus lane or by gondola. It's so obvious to me.

It is so effing obvious to me. Now, that was deep throat talking. Now, this is me talking. I have been literally talking about a gondola for Charlottesville and Almarrow in central Virginia for 20 years. Why do we not have gondola system around this community with park and rides associated with each

entrance and exit point on the gondola? Have a parking lot around a gondola. Touchpoint. Do it at Pantops, City of Charlottesville, Barracks Road, Holly Mead, Forest Lakes,

Green County, Crozay, Zion's Crossroads. Now, you can't get too far because it's going to be extremely expensive. I mean, just effing start in the effing urban ring first. My favorite is when the city of Charlottesville goes, we must make our buses electric because the gas buses are bad for the environment. Yet the electric buses don't stay. on the road is long. They're prone to mechanically

breaking down. They're incredibly much more costly. And no one effing rides the buses and we're pushing people out of the community to pay for them through increased tax exposure. John Blair, I love when John Blair comments. He's super, super smart. John's super smart.

I saw your son yesterday, John Blair. I shook his hand. He had a nice firm grip. if you really want to go old school here's one for you the flaming walk was north of fashion square that was a popular location for UVA students also it closed last year but there are many tales that can be told about the bamboo house

the bamboo house did close last year there are many tales about the bamboo house I used to go to Flaming Walk for my birthday every year oh you did what did you like about the flaming walk that they threw

the shrimp in your mouth. I love when they chop it up. I love when they do the egg and they like, they take the onion tower, the ring of onions and make it into a tower, squirt that special juice, that special juice, squirt it into the onion ring tower and that special

juice that they would light and that special juice would turn into fire and then he would go ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-choo! And fling the shrimp. I bet you caught the shrimp every time in your mouth. He has incredible dexterity and hand-eye coordination. He also has the balance of a billy goat. You want to see like the eighth wonder of the world, watch Judah Wickhauer manage like a nine or ten

foot ladder. He's got the balance of a billy goat. Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down. That's why they call you the young cowers. That's why they call us the short cowers. I said the young cower. My wife said I'm not allowed to say anymore that Judah's single and ready to mingle to the ladies. Doesn't seem to make any difference. She said, leave that man alone. That's what she said. Don't say it anymore, so now I'm not. All right. Neil Williamson is watching the program.

For what it's worth, Dino's wood-fired grill is now open in Rutgersville, and it's very busy. Absolutely. Remember when Dino was giving us a ring and a phone call about that space, the old Vinnie's. As he was contemplating and expanding his empire, Dino is opening restaurants at an aggressive clip because he does business the right way, the honest way, the price point, high ingredient way. He does things honestly, prices them fairly, and he serves quality ingredients. Kit Ashy is also prolifically expanding her restaurant empire, and if you're just tuning in, multiple sources are confirming that a sports bar is planned for the old South Street brewery location. That will turn into legacy media news.

Hey, Daily Progress and the radio stations and the TV stations that are watching this show, you should be reporting that for your legacy news cycles. I would like to see that from you in the next week. week, if possible, please, Daily Progress, Civo right now, CBS19, and NBC29. Please do that reporting, okay? Hank Martin watching the program. Gondola, or just do a tunnel system like they have in D.C., make everybody happy. You cannot see it, view shed, unobstructed, and job creation for diggers.

The challenge with the tunnel system is the impact of, um, quality of life with the tunnel construction. The gondola construction is much less quality of life intrusive than the tunnel. That's why I went with the gondola. And I also see a world where the transportation is going to be much more flying Dolorian-esque and much more hill valley-esque than what it is now. You disagree?

I'm not really sure what you're saying. Flying Dolorian-esque. Flying Doloreans and hills and valleys? And Hill Valley. I know what Hill Valley means. What? Have you seen Back to the Future? It's been a while.

Isn't it Hill Valley? Now you're making me question. No, it's Hill Valley. It's the fictional California town and Back to the Future. I got you. In Back to the Future, too, the cars flew in Hill Valley. Yeah. And they ended up saving the clock tower.

We ever get flying cars. You don't think there's going to be flying cars? I think... I think they'll be... Dude, you're right. We're extremely close to self-drive vehicles everywhere. Yeah. Okay, how about that's a perfect transition into the Microsoft at Google Headlines?

What's the Google and Microsoft Headlines? Read them for the viewers and listeners? Everybody's fired. That's so funny, but so sad. I mean, coming soon to a newspaper, near you. Newspaper. Google's new code is

AI generated. 75% of Google's new code is artificial intelligence generated. Okay, the next headline. Which leads us to the fact that massive layoffs are currently

happening at Facebook and Microsoft because of AI. AI has caused this is another round of layoffs, by the way. they already had layoffs at Microsoft and Facebook. This is another round of layoffs that were released announced yesterday. Facebook is getting rid of, was it, 8,000?

Yeah. And not only, but it's worse than getting rid of 8,000, because from what I heard, that they're also not going to hire 6,000 that they were planning on hiring. Right. So it's not just a loss of 8,000, it's a loss of 14,000. Can I give you a flying chest pump? If you want. Do you want to suckle the teeth?

I'd rather not. So did you hear what he said, viewers and listeners? And remember, they already did multiple rounds of layoffs. And they're also not hiring the $6,000 that they had in the queue. And it just laid off $8,000. Facebook and Microsoft and Google, you're talking one of the, some of the most capitalized companies in the world. For the Charlottesvillian that's watching this program,

the Charlottesvillian that's in any kind of white-collar profession, I would encourage you very much to lean into AI, lean into it, become an AI virtuoso yourself. The ones that will be preserved and protected are the ones that can produce with AI at their fingertips, work in conjunction of the AI. The ones that lean away from AI, the ones that lean away from the innovation and tools

because of fear or because of uncertainty, because of anger, because of like being an old dog and can't learning new tricks, you're the ones that are going to get shit can't. Just being straightforward with you. And people don't want to hear this. Viewers and listeners, you may not want to hear this. The people that think this is a white-collar ecosystem where you can work 100% remote,

or even in large part hybrid, while maintaining some kind of relationship with your boss or your boss's boss or your boss's boss's boss through a screen or through teams or through direct message or a text message, you're not reading the tea leaves correctly. You want additional protection from being shit-canned? Get to know your direct superior and your direct superior superior,

not only be on a first-name basis with it, know their kids' names, buy their kids' birthday presents, figure out their favorite bottle of scotch or bourbon, bring them coffee, bring them lunch, form a relationship. There's no relationship in this. Is the screen world two-dimensional? One-dimensional? What dimension is that?

It's two-dimensional. There's no human connection in two-dimension. There's no human connection in two-dimensions. Deep throat. Sintera to downtown is like two minutes. The gondola goes 12 miles per hour. The La Paz one. Seems decent, no. 100%.

It's so obvious. Deep throat, I can say that at my firm, we are aggressively using AI, but we aren't shedding developers. We are just generating so much more in the way of analytics and tools. This is known as the Javan's effect. He's way smarter than me, deep throat. I will be very curious to see in the MSFT, and the meta layoffs, and the Microsoft and meta layoffs are really among good engineers, or rather the ranks of what David Graber called the BS jobs, product managers, compliance, etc.

I think it starts with the product managers and the compliance and the accounts people. I think it starts with that. I mean, I want you to consider a world where you're an accounts manager or an accounts coordinator, and the extent of your job, Judah, is coordinating the schedules of others. Consider a world where your job's primary role is scheduling the calendar and the coordination of projects of others and trying to manage workflow. That's a world that will be replaced by artificial intelligence. Next headline, what do you got you to Wickegaard? Jack of all which, Jack of all traits.

Let's see. Are we going up or down? I don't know, but I got about four and a half minutes here before I got a 130. We got Tom Tom. All right, the Tom Tom. Put the Tom Tom on screen. How many times does Tom Tom and Paul Byer have to prove to City Hall and City Council and the powers that be that a designated outdoor refreshment area for downtown Charlestville is viable, it's safe, and it's an economic engine waiting to happen? Allow downtown Charlottesville to be a designated outdoor refreshment area.

And if you have to shut down the cut-through streets on 4th and 2nd Street, which I am not a front. fan of. But if you want to shut down the cut-through streets on 4th and 2nd Street, because that's the only way you feel comfortable safety-wise to do a designated outdoor refreshment area where you can booze from the Omni Hotel to the Ting Pavilion, only staying on that

stretch of land, buying a drink at the whiskey jar and walking it all the way to, Jesus, what's on the other side of the mall? I'm walking it to, I'm buying my old fashion at the whiskey jar and walking it all the way to the other side of the mall by the Ting Pavilion where I'm going to hang out with the convent.

at Operation Hope that are being assimilated back into society for some kind of hard, felonious crime? What's my draw to go on the other side of the mall? If Friday's after 5 or something's not on the Ting Pavilion? Help me. Help me. If something's not at the Ting Pavilion, help me.

Kids that want to go to the Virginia Museum? I'm going to take Judah's idea. I'm going to take my old fashion to the Children's Museum. You. Giddy up. But why is there not Adora on the table? downtown mall, you idiots. You want economic

development for the city and something that's different from Almaro County that is eating your shorts, Bart Simpson reference, eat my shorts. Create Adora on the downtown mall. Even if you have to shut the side streets down, do it,

dummies. But if your allegation is that they're currently shutting down fourth and second and because they... No, that was a talking point for a talk show. The 4th and 2nd Street are shut down because they can't project management in timely fashion. That's why. But if you have to shut down the side streets, do it for the Dora.

The Dora upside is much more significant, tangible, and palpable than the upside of side streets. Why is this not being suggested by Chris Engel or Sam Sanders? Next headline, Judah Wickhauer, what do you got? TomTom is already doing this. There were thousands of people in downtown Charlestville yesterday walking up and down the mall with their booze and nothing bad happened. Right. Next headline. I mean, we used to do it all the time in Charlotte.

I mean, in Savannah. It's the most obvious thing in the world, but the common sense is not so common here. Next headline. Bride loses a 6K deposit. Dude, when is this borderline criminal? But I would bet you in that conscience. that she signed with Common House, where she was going to have her wedding and had to put an upfront $6,000 deposit, remember, Comethouse surprisingly closed, everyone lost their job. No one had any

runway that they were losing their job. They literally found out with an email that was posted on Reddit that they were losing their job. And then a piece of paper was taped to the front door of Common House that it was closed forever. That's how the world found out. This bride is now going on record saying, I gave them $6,000 of my money. My wedding is just a handful of months away. Where's my $6,000? And where am I going to consummate my marriage? Because my husband wants to slap the skins.

That's what she's saying right there and not so many words. And it's crickets from commonhouse. No skin slapping. And no 6K. Crickets from common house, Judah. Damn near close to criminal. But I would bet you that there's language in that. contract that if they shut down, they keep that 6K, or is there? All he wants to do is

skin slap. Next headline, what do you got, J-dubs? I got a meeting. Alcoe budget passes. Okay, how about this one here? The Almore County budget, ladies and gentlemen, has passed without any tax increases. If you can pass a budget without any tax increases, the Almaro County budget is how much money? $727.7 million. Holy Toledo. The Outerow County budget, for the sake of a talk show, let's call it $730 million. $730 million to run outmorrow County.

Holy Toledo. The budget was passed with no tax increases. Why, if you can pass a budget with no tax increases, do you need to solicit and advertise personal property tax rate increases, and solicit as if you are an auctioneer, a real estate tax rate increase. Just in case. You can fine-tooth comb the budget

to find the money for the things you need, but you still have to go through the theater, the angst, the heartache, the trouble, the blood-boiling turn of events of taxing our vehicles and our automobiles and our real estate to fund housing affordability. kudos to the Ammore County supervisors and one of them is going to join us on Wednesday,

Mr. Michael Pruitt of the Scottsville District, for a $730 million pass budget with no tax increases. But maybe we go about it in a different way where we're going to pass the budget without raising taxes from day one. Any other headlines, Judah Whitaker, Jack of All Trades,

as we give some attention to Charlottesville Sanitary Supply. 62 years in business for Charlottesville Sanitary Supply, anything cleaning related, anything shopping related, anything sanitary related, anything swimming pool related.

Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company are owned by the Vermilions. And there are five generations of Almorel County and three generations of business ownership. Ginny Who, thank you for the retweet. John Blair says, my son calls, Jerry, my son calls me Charles. Last time he said, Charles, I think Jerry Miller's son will be a professional squash player one day.

He and his dad practiced twice a day and all the coaches talk about how good he is. No joke, that's a direct quote. Well, thank you for saying that, John Blair, and thank you for saying that, Marshall. John, I'm always going to call you John. My son has fallen in love with this sport. And I will say this. Folks have asked me, he's like, you know, how's he improving so quickly?

It's like, this kid is doing it on his own. He is passionate about it. Getting an 8-year-old to wake up at 5.30 in the morning is impossible. But getting an 8-year-old to wake up on 5.30 in the morning that wants to do it, and we'll get out of bed and get dressed on their own is probable. He's just found something he's really interested in, and it's my job as a father to help foster his interest. I had a dad that is provided for my brother and I and my mom without a doubt,

but who was never there. He was a small business owner and a CPA and an accountant, and I never, never, never saw him. Never. But I don't miss dinners. and I'm there all the time for the sports and the games and present as much as possible. What do you got? Is there anything else?
