guys welcome to the i love seville show my name is jerry miller thank you kindly for joining us on a tuesday afternoon in downtown charlesville an absolute pleasure to connect with you guys through the i love seville network a lot to cover on the program creed deeds asking all the right questions he has set a deadline a date for all of communications and materials involving Jim Ryan's resignation as Creed's is investigating the resignation of Jim Ryan at the University of Virginia. We'll talk about that on the show. Why did Jim Ryan resign? The easy answer is the pressure from the Department of Justice from the Trump administration, the leverage of federal funding at the University of Virginia, and if

Ryan did not resign, federal funding could have been kept in escrow or in some kind of coffer and not allocated to a university like UVA that needs the $300 to $400 million a year from the feds. That's not enough for creed deeds. He wants more information and now he's leading a charge. That topic to lead the show in a matter of minutes. We're also going to talk the pros and cons of taking the UVA interim president position or title or role. Paul Mahoney, the new interim president. I would not say that this is just a pomp and circumstance title. I think Mr. Mahoney is thrown into a lion's den here. Curious of your take on that when the show matures. Not an easy role as you have political trade wins, as you have

alumni, faculty, students, boosters in the athletic department, a federal government, so many different factions fighting for influence in clout at the state's premier university. We'll talk Charlottesville Public Schools. Natalie Oström has indicated public schools, $100 million in renovation costs ahead for Charlottesville Public Schools. She highlights the need to improve certain things at public schools. For example, natural light for kids at public schools. 100 million dollars of renovation costs ahead for the Charlottesville Public School system and their buildings. Remember, the budget for Charlottesville City, as a whole, fiscal year, 2026, was $265,200,000.

So this $100 million request is a huge chunk of the overall budget in the city of Charlottesville. We'll talk about that on today's show. And speaking of money on this morning's edition of the Jerry and Jerry show with Jerry Rackleff, the Virginia Sports Hall of Famer, who's covered the University of Virginia for more than 50 years, his sources have confirmed with him that the University of Virginia football roster has cost the department, ladies and gentlemen, somewhere between 20 million and 30 million with the number closer to 30 than 20. I want you to think about that. The current makeup of the Virginia football roster has run the athletic department and its fundraisers, its boosters, its stakeholders, $20 to $30 million, according to Jerry Rackcliffe sources,

with that number closer to 30 than 20. Oh, my, my. We're in a wild time for college athletics that are no longer amateur, but certainly a minor league of professional sports. We'll talk to Guadalajara on Fontaine Avenue. It's for sale. The asking price is $1.4 million. We'll talk Bob Good, potentially running for Congress again.

And we remind you of the debate on Friday's edition of Real Talk with Keith Smith, Scott Smith and Fred Missile will be in the House Friday at 1015 a.m. Friday at 1015 a.m. Get to know the candidates. Scott Smith, the Republican, and Fred Missile, the Democrat. They are running for the Samuel Miller District Seed on the Almore County Board of Supervisors. A lot to cover on the program. Neil Williamson, hello. Bob Yarborough, hello. Georgia Gilmer. Bob Shada. Greer Ackinback. Thank you for watching the program. Katie Pearl, Lonnie Murray. A lot of viewers and listeners, including print, radio and television.

Judah Wickhauer. First, I'd like to highlight Charlottesville Sanitary Supply. 61 years in business for Charlottesville Sanitary Supply. The Vermilions are five generations strong in Almorel County. Their business, Charlottesville Sanitary

Supply is three generations strong. Online at Charlottesfellanitary Supply.com and in person on High Street, ladies and gentlemen, they are the team behind our family swimming pool at our house staying crystal clear blue.

They have a mechanic on site for any vacuum repair, pool cleaning robot repair needs, and there's no one that has more knowledge and sanitary supply than Charleston supply guys in the Vermilion family. Studio camera two shot, Judah Wickhauer. Creed's wants some answers. He wants the receipts. He wants the dirt. He wants the scoop on Jimbo Ryan's resignation. And he is unwilling to accept.

This is purely a resignation due to. Donald Trump's influence the Department of Justice potentially overreach and pushing Ryan out of Cars Hill. We'll talk about that today. How about Natalie Oström telling taxpayers that we're in the middle of $100 million capital improvement project or campaign for Charlottesville Public Schools when, geez, Louise, the budget for physical year 20266 is $265 million? How in God's name did Charlottesville think the federal government? Executive Institute was a good idea. A hundred million in current school infrastructure improvement

needs, according to counselor Natalie Oshrim. We'll talk about that today. A restaurant we love Johnny Our analysis, Guadalajara on Fonte Avenue, for sale with an asking price of $1,400,000. Goodness gracious, we're locked and loaded with a lot to cover today. What tickles your

fancy the most? I'm certainly curious about creedids going after the information from the of visitors. Me too. And I hope he gets it. I believe he sent them 46 questions on August 1st, and I would be surprised if they're able to answer more than a handful of them.

And the deadline? Deadline is August 15th for more than just that. The deadline is also for, he's asked the rector and vice rector, to send all relevant documents and communications. Wow. We'll see. I'd love to find out more information, but I don't know if it's out there.

What interests you about this? Is it the fact that you're just not buying Ryan resign because DOJ pressure? Do you think there's more than meets the eye? Yeah, yeah. I mean, people keep talking about him getting pushed out, but nobody's, the people involved in this, are not the kind of people to, like, stay in the background.

You know, Trump loves to toot his own horn. And if he felt any elation or sense of accomplishment in getting President Ryan out of the president seat at UVA, I think we'd have heard about it. The fact that nobody said anything makes me feel like this was Ryan playing chess when everybody else around him was playing checkers and the chess moves that ryan was making the chess moves you was making was look take their target away and they're stumped they don't know what to do and that's what we're looking at nobody has any idea what to do

and as we've talked about in in previous episodes of the i love seville show Ryan is perfectly poised to take over the presidency again once the winds are blowing favorably. Unbelievable times, guys. Lower third on the screen. Ginny Who says on the $100 million that Charlottesville public schools are going to spend to renovate public schools in the city. She says, go hold class in the parking lot if you want more natural light.

There's free natural light in the parking lot. who says. I just can't with these people. The majority of the kids aren't even getting an education and they are more concerned with the buildings in natural light than the actual books and curriculum. That's a great point which ties in nicely with what we talked about the other day with where, what was it, eighth graders, I think only 29% are proficient in both reading and math. 29% of Virginia public school eighth graders. not just the city of Charlottesville, but across the Commonwealth. 29% of eighth graders in the Commonwealth in public schools are proficient in math and reading,

ladies and gentlemen. Since COVID, the numbers have worsened. Ginny's made the point that they were worsening prior to the pandemic, which is a valid point from a key member of our family, Ginny Who, but the numbers have absolutely worsened since the pandemic where a lot of public school students lost literally two years of schooling. that topic in a matter of moments. We retreat to the Jim Ryan topic. Why did Jim Ryan resign?

Cree Deeds has a deadline of August 15th. Cree Deeds wants all the communication, all the materials, anything passed between Ryan, the Board of Visitors, any correspondence in his inbox at his office by the 15th of August. And Cree Deeds is going to launch. his own investigation into the resignation of Jim Ryan. Judah and the I Love Seville Show have called it Ryan playing chess when everyone else has been playing checkers.

Jim Ryan is made a martyr. Jim Ryan has 14 months of sabbatical. Well, continuing to make the same amount he made as president. During those 14 months, he maintains his presidential salary for doing absolutely no work whatsoever. He gets a staff. after the sabbatical of 14 months he takes a job at the law school where he's making $750,000 a year

he has a home in Earleysville, Jim Ryan, this man is looking like Nostradamus here, McAvelyan, as if he has a DeLorean or a crystal ball and as Judah said, is playing chess when others are playing checkers. He looks like he is potentially

on the short list comes Spamberger's victory in early next year, or in November, and her taking office in early next year, a shortlist candidate to be reappointed president of the University of Virginia. And if that happens, if Jim Ryan is reappointed president of the University of Virginia, he will go down in history, in history with Virginia presidents, someone that was able to retire, resign on his own accord, and then get reappointed potentially six, seven, eight months later.

Be a wild time. That would be. Creed deeds, we cannot wait to see the transparency and the release of your investigation. Because right now, the easy answer is to just chalk it up to Trump made them resign by saying we're not going to give UVA $300 to $400 million. Yeah. Wild times. Now, a perfect segue into the next headline, Judah Wickhauer.

The second headline, put it on screen. pros and cons of taking UVA interim president position you take that job for the money yeah I probably would the money the guy doesn't need the money if I had the skills to to be the president of UVA yeah I'd take it I mean, it doesn't have to be a political position.

The interim job, the interim president right now is going to have to have to navigate the fallout of Ryan's resignation, the fallout of a, challenged Board of Visitors by state Democrats. The fallout of an outgoing governor, Glenn Yonkin, the transition of a Democrat Spamberger who is a clear favorite to win.

The fallout of faculty and staff voting overwhelmingly no confidence in the Board of Visitors. The fallout of the United Campus Workers of Virginia brainstorming a strike, strategizing a strike late last week, the fallout of a missing provost, the fallout

of a missing CEO of UVA health systems, missing CEO of UVA hospital, and missing dean of the medical school, all while the University of Virginia has become a hotbed for every political landmine that's viable in 2025. Every political landmine you have, right? You have Palestine and Israel. You have diversity, equity, and inclusion. You have Trump. You have the wealth gap, the education gap.

You have racism, anti-Semitism. You have striking workers. You have an exploiting, allegedly, medical system. You have a football team that is the worst record over power conferences over the last three years. A football team that just spent, according to Jerry Rackleff this morning, nearly $30 million to rebuild its football roster. A football team that is now partnered with Costco to sell tickets because they can't sell tickets at the ticket booth.

You go to Costco in Charlottesville, and on the aisles, you can buy game, literally two game passes with a parking pass, with beverage discounts at Costco next to the register, right by the National Enquirer, right by the fruit stripe gum, right next to the king-sized Reese's peanut butter cups, football tickets to UVA at Costco. unbelievable this is not one of those jobs where it's just like pompant circumstance where it's just like a ceremonial position I don't know that he's going to be tasked with all of what you just mentioned I believe there will be a lot of

holding the the ship steady and I doubt he's going to be making policy for what is obviously expected to be. So what do you think is expected of this guy?

What's expected of Paul Mahoney, who is as qualified as any to be the interim president and frankly qualified to be the actual president? Mahoney, ladies and gentlemen, the former dean of the law school from 2008 to 2016,

he's going to assume the role of interim president on August 11th, which is in six days. This guy has been a member of the law school faculty since 1990. He's held several chairs and administrative positions before taking on the role of dean at the law school. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a past member of the Investor Advisory Committee of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Prior to joining the university, Mahoney worked in private practice with New York firm Sullivan and Cromwell

and clerked for Judge Ralph K. Winter Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Court, Second Circuit, and Justice Thurgood Marshall of the U.S. Supreme Court. Wow. He's married to Julia DeLong Mahoney, who very interestingly, this is crazy. Julia DeLong Mahoney, his wife, follows I Love Seville on Instagram three days ago. I'm going to show it to you. I'm going to go on Judah's shot. Can they see me on your shot?

Yeah, they can see you a little bit. Is this I Love Seville Instagram? That does look like it. I go to I Love Seville Instagram. I check followers. Three days ago, who followed us? Julia Mahoney UVA. Three days ago.

He's announced yesterday and she's following us on Instagram. a wild time we live the wife of the interim president following i love seville and the i love seville network is this a cake job is this a cake job neil whiamson jenny who is this a cake job john blair is this a cake job deep throat james watson bob yarborough Bobby Shada, Kelly Jackson, city councilors and supervisors that are watching the program. Judah, your thoughts? I think by all accounts, he's probably going to focus on, not focus on,

but it sounds like he's a big fan of UVA sports. I think he'll try to help Shepard sports, the UVA sports in the right direction. I think he'll try to stay as far away from anything that even smacks of politics and he's going to hold the keel with the steady hand. Is his job purely to be the dogwood parade queen or the kiss, the shaker of hands and the kisser of babies? The ceremonial, you can do this type of guy and lead with gusto,

but actually materialize very little policy or change or influence at the university. Or is this guy going to roll his sleeves up and actually try to do the work? How long is this guy in office? Yeah. How long is he in office? If he completely stays away from the politics like you're saying, how can he actually do any work? The whole job is politics.

What's his fundraising capabilities? How much fundraising will he be tasked with doing? What's his role with the Charlottesville community? Goodness gracious, he's been at the law school and been affiliated with the University of Virginia since what? 1990? Was that the number? Since 1990, a member of the law school faculty. This guy's been a member of the Charlottesville, Almaro County, Central Virginia, and University community for 35 years.

Yeah. Very different than Jim Ryan. Paul has institutional memory in this community. Grew up in this community. As matured as a man in this community. As a husband, as a family man. What's he going to do with community relations with town and gown? What's he going to do with affordable housing?

What's he going to do with living wage? What's he going to do to help. fortify relationships with UVA vendors, with local businesses who want to be with UVA vendors, who are screaming at the top of their lungs to the I Love Seville Network and to you and I, that the University of Virginia is no longer prioritizing doing business with the small businesses in Charlottesville and Almore and in Central Virginia. And it is now more concerned about dollars and cents and opening up its vendor relations with anyone across the world as long as they give them the best price possible. I mean, that's pretty much all of us right now. Is that, all of us, it didn't used to be that way?

Is this a cake job? Is this the Dogwood Queen at the Dogwood Parade who stands at a podium, drives along on Market Street down Preston Avenue, all the key streets in Charlottesville, sitting in the back of a 1967 Corvette, just waving her hand with a white glove on, and Dogwood roses and flowers in her hand? Is that what he?

he's expected of him. I doubt it. Unbelievable. Does he have a chance of keeping the job? I think the better question is does he want to keep the job? But who knows? I mean, I would think that him keeping the job would be dependent on him wanting the job and how he appears as the president over the next few months. Logan and Wells Claylow, welcome to the broadcast. Barbara Becker-Tilly, thank you for watching the show. Deep Throat, I'm going to get to your comments on Charlottesville Public Schools and $100 million of spend with their buildings. James Watson, I'm going to get to your comments on natural light

with Charlottesville Public Schools. John Blair's got a comment. His photo on screen, number two in the family. Jerry, I think the real question about the job is, how long? If it's six to nine months, that's one thing. but another scenario is that there is continuing legal and political turmoil about the BOV what Spamberger takes office in January. Could this interim post last 18 months or longer?

Oof. Yeah. I mean, that's a great question. Does he move into Cars Hill? Does he move into the president's mansion? Is that usually what an interim president would do? I don't know either. I'm asking the question.

Does he move into Cars Hill? sincerely mean that i'm asking the question how does he address the students the first years and the students that arrive on grounds i had a client i can't wait to make the announcement we just brokered another business close a restaurant on the uva corner closed was it friday when did you pick up the commission check uh was that from uh we don't need to say what's the deal is, it's not our news to announce, when did you pick up

the commission check on that broker deal? It was yesterday morning. Was it yesterday? Closed on Friday, we picked up the commission check yesterday. Closed on Friday. My clients are eager to open their business, their new business, and then asked me

football game and when students arrive. UVA students started arriving the 21st of August. Classes started August 26. The first UVA football game is August 31st. some public schools are going back to class on Wednesday that's insane some public schools literally are going back to class tomorrow

how long do they have for summer break well I'll tell you what not as long as what I remember certainly not parents are jumping for joy all around central Virginia our oldest doesn't go back to school till the 19th of August Unbelievable time To follow it

I can't wait to see Cree Deeds' investigation Next headline Put it on screen, what do you got? $100 million Is that from Austin Powers? Did you put the pinky out? $100 million What's the last time you've seen Austin Powers?

I don't know It's been a long time Over a decade I'm watching a wild show on Netflix right now It's called The Hunting Wives It is absolutely wild This show The Hunting Wives

Is it The backstabbing and the seat In the lying In the chess and checkers Is it a trickeration? Oh no it's not a reality show It's the Netflix original The Hunting Wives

Goodness gracious, is it good. Natalie Oshran, ladies and gentlemen, indicates that public schools in Charlottesville de-throat your comments coming up. Several improvements made at multiple schools in the city of Charlottesville in advance of the new school year. The price tag for the citywide educational renovation project, Seville right now has this reporting. An estimate is $100 million. $100 million. One of the renovations major focus is offering, get this, Judah,

natural light for the kids. Natural light. I mean, that's great, but... Natural light. We're not concerned with math and reading and writing. We're not concerned with paying teachers more money, attracting more talent from a teacher standpoint. We're not concerned with textbooks.

We're not concerned with SOLs. We're not concerned with grades. Security and safety. Getting kids to school on time and home on time. Keeping roaming groups, gangs of students from roaming hallways unauthorized and unsupervised. but what we're concerned with Natalie Orsherne is natural light. And it's $100 million.

I like natural light. I also want kids to be able to read and write. Deep throat, number one in the family, his photo on screen. And remember, I said the fiscal year budget for the city of Charlottesville for 2026, 265,000, 200,000. Deep Throat says, he adds a little color and context to that. It's important not to confuse capital costs and operating costs when looking at the budget. Now, $100 million is $25,000 per student for renovations, probably the typical gold-bricking stupidity you would expect from Seville government. Don't get me wrong. This is deep throats words.

He says, and it is odd given how enrollment is very likely to fall. Remember, Weldon Cooper has indicated that local public school enrollment in Charlottesville and Almore County and in central Virginia is going to downtick as parents are choosing private schools for their kids or homeschooling. Deep Throat continues. But leave that aside, $100 million in capital cost is not like $100 million in operating budget. $100 million should buy us 25 to 30 years without having to spend a huge amount on capital improvements. CIVO can borrow 30 years in a muni market at 4%. Level pay, 30-year bond at 4%.

100 million principal equals annual cost of $5.7 million, which is probably what the city spends on useless nonsense per quarter. Denny shares a graph with us on and the DMs of my Twitter account. And I can't resist sharing this chart. enrollment is down spending is up and teacher salaries are lagging spending i guess natural light must cost a lot yep one other data point deep throat says san anns belfield academy apparently did their entire lower school campus rebuild back in 2008 and 2010 for something like 25 million dollars that was a different market cost of goods

construction, labor have certainly escalated since then deep throat, but he has another data point that St. Anne's Belfield economy, St. Anne's Belfield Academy, did their entire lower school campus rebuild in 2008, 2010, for about $25 million. Unbelievable. What do you make? Okay. Maybe they weren't focused on natural light. The natural light common is so quintessential Charlottesville. Yeah, why would you lead with that? Why would you emphasize a natural light? It's quintessential Charlottesville.

Instead, say, we're going to spend, it's a $100 million price tag because we want our kids to have better quality of life, which will yield better grades, better SOL scores, and improved performance across the board. James Watson's got a comment, his photo on screen, I respect James Watson tremendously. With all due respect to deep throat, Some folks may be overlooking the significance of natural light.

When you walk through Charlottesville High School, for example, there are certain rooms that have no windows, and some of the other elementary schools have windowless classrooms. Modern design for workspaces and school buildings optimizes lighting because it does impact a psyche. I think the idea is if they're going to renovate the buildings, they're going to look for these opportunities, particularly since kids are not spending as much time outdoors, getting help. healthy experiences as we once used to. It's a good comment. Yeah, it's a great comment. I'm not, I respect James Watson, Tramette. I'm not marginalizing the importance of natural light. Right. But like, as, as we said, why, why lead with that? Why not, you know, why not make it a feature, just a regular feature and not, you know, your, not your, your, your letterhead? And I also want to emphasize that enrollment is expected to decrease.

and performance has vastly slipped with Charlottesville Public Schools. So perhaps if it was me, the money would be better spent on paying teachers more. So students get a better educational experience. But deep throat made another good point that deep throat made the good point that that money is not, it's not 100 million for, you know, they're not going to spend it in one year. They're not going to add that. to next year's budget.

Deep throat adds this adds this via direct message. Maybe the natural light they're talking about is Natty Light the ice cold beer. And then he says it would take a boatload of Natty Light for me to entrust Charlottesville Public Schools with my

children. Deep Throat showing, throwing shade on a Tuesday afternoon on the I Love Seville show. The Nanny Light reference, wow, that's hilarious. Yeah. $100 million. $100 million.

$100 million. Absolutely unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah. Unbelievable. James Watson, guys, you should come to some volunteering with me in the schools this year, and you'll get to see these old buildings. I remember the old buildings, absolutely. When I was working for the Daily Progress in the sports department,

I was the high school sports editor, and I spent five six days six nights a week in those buildings i he's james is 100% right i uh when i went back to main ended up driving by my old uh my old junior high school uh and i also spent one year of high school there and man you want to see an old building charleslesville's got nothing on uh on the big school that i went to i'll i'll put this in perspective. We on this weekend, my wife and I needed to get out of the house with our two boys who were parents, are you like this? When you're at home on the weekend, do your kids misbehave and act up and do they act rambunctiously while at home so you look for things to do

with your kids outside the house? So when you have a seven-year-old and a two-and-a-half-year-old, you become masters or insiders of playgrounds locally. The first playground we went to, because we lived in Ivy was the Mary Weather Lewis Elementary School playground. Excuse me, Ivy Elementary playground. The Mary Weather Lewis playground currently has

been raised. I mean, I think they're completely putting a new playground in because the playground was all taken down and it was all in one heap piled up. All the slides, all the swings. There basically is no playground. It's a

trash heap of playground equipment as of Sunday and Mary Weather Lewis Elementary. So we're like, okay, we can't go to the Ivy Elementary School playground. So we went to the Murray playground. Ivy Elementary and Murray Elementary are two of the more noteworthy elementary schools in Central Virginia because of their proximity in Ivy. When we went to Murray, we enjoyed the front playground they had for the younger kids and the back playground by the soccer field for the older kids at the elementary school. One thing we were surprised of, and I love, I hear nothing but great things about Murray Elementary and nothing but great things about Ivy Elementary, but what surprised us was the need for improvement

on the exterior of Murray Elementary, the need for landscaping, the need for painting, the need for TLC on the outside of Murray Elementary. And it's, it can. cannot be cheap to run these schools. And Murray certainly was showing some of its age. And I'll leave it at that when we were enjoying the playground with our kids. John Blair, that's a great question about Cars Hill and the interim president, whether he gets to live there or not. Unless something has changed, doesn't the president have the graduates come to Cars

Hill for a reception? It would sting for the class of 2026 if they didn't have that reception. Yes, I do remember that. reception? Is Cars Hill going to go empty? Does the interim president get to live there? Would the interim president want to live there? He's been in this community 30 years. Would he want to live there? Does he have to live there to have the reception? Another great question. Another great question. Travis Hackworth is watching in Danville, Virginia. Hey, they just spent 80 million here in Danville overhauling the entire high school campus that was built in the 1950s. 80 million in

Danville. Leave it to Charlottesville to get the Rolls-Royce or the Bentley of construction with the focus around natural light. Ginny Who, if you're equating it to the Dogwood Parade, then the presidency is disappearing as well. And that's a zing from Ginny Hu on the disappearing Dogwood Parade. And she says, spot on deep throat. There's not enough Natty Light in the world for us either. Deep Throat says, kidding aside, my wife was a public school teacher in New York City for a few

years, and she would say she would have forgone some of her salary to not have to work in a total dump of a facility. Mouse-infested temporary classroom. So I take James' point that you don't want to consign kids or teachers to depressing campus. That said, who let it get to this point? And are we entrusting the same people allow this to happen

to play with $100 million? and expect a different result. And to add more color to this, to add more to this storyline is this is an example of why the Federal Executive Institute was a terrible play. Yeah. For the city manager and the superintendent

and the public school system to pursue, aggressively pursue, and then politic when they were given something and then had it take it away, for them to aggressively pursue the federal executive institution. Institute shows, you know, from my standpoint, not a true grip on reality. Yeah, we keep hearing about, we keep hearing about things like, you know, we need to, we need to, we need to completely re-revenate,

Walker and, and these other elementary schools. And now they want to spend $100 million on, on the high school. And we've got the, the jail that you know the offers went way over and why are we not I get that these buildings are not

you know they're not modular you can't just like pick a you know pick a room and update it but but yeah shouldn't we be shouldn't we be working on this over time rather than leaving it until it's

you know, a dire need. I guess my point is this. We have 24 doors in our portfolio, 24 rental properties. We have a crew, Manuel's crew of five to seven guys,

actively upkeeping and managing the properties. And when they're not doing it, small task, you are taken care of. Yeah. And it's, it takes a team of people to do this, to keep them up to speed so they're of market standard for occupancy and to maintain a 5% escalator every year with rents, right? Imagine what Charlottesville public schools is going through with what they have. It's just a tremendous responsibility.

And if you're not focused on it constantly, it's going to deteriorate. And it's like your health. If you go years without going for a physical and your cholesterol levels are high, or you go, you miss two colonoscopies when you have a history of polyps and you're supposed to go every five years, your risk of health concerns is compounded.

Same with maintaining the real estate. You go years without doing it. Someone we know we won't utilize his name, a vendor of one of the public school systems, has indicated that they were pushing, and pushing and pushing maintenance tied to the public schools. You mean deferring? Deferring maintenance.

Until finally, after years of deferment, the idea was to get back into business with this particular client of ours. Yeah. And it was past the point of no return with the machinery they had that was deferred maintenance. So it costs more to replace the machinery than it was to just maintain the machinery.

like an HVAC service contract. Next headline, what do you got? Guadalajara. 1.4 million. I think this is a fantastic opportunity. Hope Johnny O'Anallis is watching the program. No doubt. That's a great location.

I love Johnny O'Anallis and his family. Mm-hmm. Absolutely love Johnny Ornales. Disappointed that the Guadalajara on Fontaine is closed. No doubt. For $1.4 million in asking price and let me know if you're interested, the Guadalajara and Atlas coffee can be purchased. The Guadalajara is 2,285 square feet.

There's parking. It's a freestanding business located on Fontaine right down the street from the Paul Manning Biotech Institute. Atlas Coffee is a beloved coffee shop in a space that's the size of like a spare bedroom. This is a completely turnkey restaurant in Guadalajara. In a traffic count corridor, that's probably 10,000 to 20,000 cars a day easily. Are there headwinds for food and beverage? headwinds for sit-down restaurants, yes.

A family like the family that owns Guadalajara has multiple other locations. They chose to close this one and sell the real estate. Are you going to have to innovate and come up with a different strategy than just opening your doors and serving people food and sit-down setting? Probably. That should always be the case, though. Agreed.

But $1.4 million for the Guadalajara and the Atlas next door is a good price. Conan Owen watching the program. Let's give Sir Speedy some love. Sir Speedy of Central Virginia.

Visiting whom? Checking out the pier bar and grill. Oh, the seafood joint. Yeah. Was it good. It's okay. It's pretty good. You went with your family on Sunday? Just my dad. Okay. Did you enjoy it? Yeah. On the better question, did he enjoy it? He's got a tough standard. Your silence says a lot. No, he enjoyed it. He's a tough critic, is he not? He's a very tough critic. My dad's got to have his fries almost burnt to a crisp.

if not he sends him back and he didn't send them back but they weren't burnt to a crisp I think sometimes he understands the futility of his of his eternal search for

for perfectly crisp fries but we both had we both had shrimp and mine was great there are a lot of restaurant vacancies out there i question the uh i question them going with kajun and they didn't have any soup on the menu i question with the i questioned the seafood focus yeah when there's we kind of five seafood restaurants that are out there in the area

bonefish public fish and oyster bonefish is a uh it's a chain bonefish is a bonefish is a a chain, public fish and oyster doesn't open for lunch. Is the gold standard? It would be if they open for lunch. Bonnie and Reed? I don't think it opens for lunch. I've never been to Bonnie and Reed. Downtown Mall? What's that? On the downtown mall?

I know where it is. What are the other seafood spots? Pierre's? I mean, we decided there's a little bit of in what actually counts as seafood because everybody's got some seafood on their menu. No. But Pierre's is seafood focused.

Yeah. We're not counting Anderson's seafood market or Crozay seafood. Unless you want to just walk up in order. Those are markets. Yeah. My question was the focus on seafood specific. And if you're following the Dirty Aces progress, they got this red. It's very curious the connotations or the motif they've chosen with the business.

Dirty Aces has Bucksum beauties. on their signage, and Bucksum Bikini-clad beauties on their signage, and they've chosen a red neon light to dawn the exterior of the restaurant, giving vibes of the red light district. Oh, nice. It's classy. A Bucksum Bikini-clad beauties on the signage and red-light neon lights on the exterior of the building. They are very nearing opening.

I wish them nothing but success. I can't wait to check it out. Nothing but success. Guadalajara, 1.4 million, 2,285 square feet, the Atlas coffee included in the deal. Judah Wickhauer, the next headline. Is that the final headline? That is UVA football roster. This came up on the Jerry and Jerry show this morning.

Jerry Rackleff citing sources close to the program, and the guys covered the football program for more than 50 years. No one knows Virginia athletics better than the Virginia Sports Hall of Famer Jerry Rackleff. He said his sources say the price tag to assemble the current football roster is between 20 and 30 million, and his source said it's closer to 30 than 20. So that puts it above $25 million to assemble the Virginia football roster, ladies and gentlemen, more than $25 million to pay kids to play in the orange and blue. and the football team is struggling to sell tickets so much so that they've partnered with Costco

where you now can buy a two game pack of tickets on the checkout aisles of Costco right next to the yikes stripes fruit stripe gum the national inquire the king size Reese's peanut butter cups and the haribou green gummy frogs with the white underneath on the gummy. Those are dangerous. Those are good. I can eat an entire pack of those. Oh, man, I would not do that.

So could my son. I've heard stories. $25 to $30 million for the Virginia football roster, ladies and gentlemen. Absolutely bananas. A wild time we live in. No doubt. That's the show. If you need office space, reach out to us varying in size and price from $350 a month all the way north
