Welcome to the I Love Civo Show, guys. My name is Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us on the water cooler of content and conversation. We apologize for the late start here on a Thursday afternoon. A lot I want to cover on the broadcast. Headlines are on screen. Take a look at the screen for today's headlines, and we will have a conversation together. We want you, the viewer, and listener to participate in the discussion and, frankly, help shape the show. I want to talk about Dr. Anthony Fauci yesterday.

repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment. Fouchy, I think, is, we'll have a lasting legacy, ladies and gentlemen, that will forever be stained. I can't put it any more straightforwardly than that. Look, we have the benefit of hindsight now. We have the benefit of hindsight now, so we're able to speak with clarity and we're able to kind of, you know, determine the ramifications, the cause and effect of how, you know, doctors and scientists and the federal government and states and commonwealths and local jurisdictions managed COVID. With the benefit of hindsight, clearly with the benefit of hindsight, we know that it was managed correctly and we're still frankly dealing with the collateral damage of

COVID we're dealing with the collateral damage of COVID as applies to as it pertains to schooling public schools in particular they've not rebounded well post-pandemic we're dealing with the collateral damage of COVID still I mean look at inflation I mean how long has the word inflation be been part of our lexicon We had a newly-mented Fed chair who's clearly under the influence of the President, Donald Trump, hold rates steady when some predicted a hike. Many think a hike should have happened. Gasoline-fueled inflation is no joke.

I mean, geez, Louise, go to the grocery store, right? Geez, Louise, put the gas in your car and your vehicle, right? I mean, buy anything, shop for anything, hire anyone. I mean, floating debt more costly than ever, right? I mean, legitimate statement here. As I sit July 30th, 2026, July 30th, 26, a Thursday, this is the most expensive time to live in Charlottesville, Virginia, Almore County, Virginia. Central Virginia, maybe the country, certainly locally, right?

Housing all-time high. Sure, rents are stabilizing a little bit, and you have rental vacancies upticking, certainly. But for any rental stabilization that's happening here in Charlottesville and Almaro and Central Virginia, every other household budget line item is the most expensive it's ever been. And there's a lot of people

people to blame for that. There are a lot of people to blame for that. And frankly, atop the list is probably Dr. Anthony Fauci. I mean, you've got the Biden administration that is to blame for that. Whether viewers and listeners want to hear this or not, this is going to alienate and infuriate a lot of people that watch and listen to the show, but it's a reality. Democrats, you know, top of the totem pole Democrats have a lot to do with this. and how a pandemic and COVID was used to manipulate in an election and keep a president and Donald Trump from getting into office and his second term push.

We know this now, right? We know that it wasn't on the bottom of our feet. We know, ladies and gentlemen, that how we handled sheltering in place and restricting folks to their homes or having curfews. Good God, there was a curfews. in some locations. There were literally curfews

where we were not allowed to go out after certain times. There were participation numbers. There were X amount of people couldn't be in a restaurant. I mean, there were people turning in churches. There were being ratted out.

I mean, that's like... There was a COVID hotline that the governor initially set up. Nazi era World War II type stuff. Judah Wickhauer off camp? camera, two shot him. We now have the benefit of hindsight here. The big box brands, the Walmarts, the Targets, the Costco's were prioritized over locally owned and operated businesses. I remember picking up my beer at three-notch brewing company. I'm a huge Minuteman, IPA fan, and having to do curbside pickup for beer. I mean, imagine, imagine the rent they had to carry

at the just three-notch-ix location with that square feet. We talked about on yesterday's show, while Wing Cafe, that location owned by Alan Kajin still has not open. We broke the news on yesterday's show about Meza, a banner outside Trevinia Kitchen and Stonefield. Looks like Meza, the Mediterranean restaurants, going into that Trevinia spot in the shops at Stonefield

that sat vacant since COVID. I have the benefit of hindsight. It's easy to look smart with the benefit of hindsight, but now with that benefit and with Anthony Fauci in the news because of an extremely contentious Senate committee hearing yesterday, I want to talk about how COVID, how Fauci, how the pandemic continues to impact Charlottesville. If you've missed it, if you've missed it,

Dr. Anthony Fauci yesterday repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment and declined to answer dozens, dozens of questions from senators in a Republican-led committee hearing about his handling and or mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of those questions that were asked of Anthony Fauci were this. What color tie are you wearing? I plead the fifth. That's the one that I heard about. I plead the fifth.

What is the color of the car? that's in front of you. Dr. Fauci, I plead the fifth. What is your name? I plead the fifth. Okay? The invoking of the fifth amendment allowed Fauci to shield himself

from answering questions that could expose him to accusations of lying under oath. He did receive a pardon from Joe Biden in early 2025, but some Republicans are now aggressively pursuing a years-long campaign for his arrest and suggested he could still face charges for perjury committed during Wednesday's hearing.

He's a scientist. He led the nation's COVID response. And to Judah's point, much of the world even followed his response and strategy because we are the United States of America. Right? We know that Fauci during COVID became a much, much more wealthy individual. Those are facts on facts on facts.

And his celebrity, his notoriety, grew to household status. During COVID, Anthony Fauci was a household name. He was the face of COVID management. What we thought at the time was responsible COVID management. Now we understand that what we did in March of 2020 for two or three years, Setback a generation of children. A generation of children. You can't argue with me here.

We're negatively impacted in setback because we forced them to leave learning in public spaces amongst their peers in classrooms and schools with teachers. Do you remember the first public school to open their doors to in-person learning, Judah, in Central Virginia? Viewers and listeners? Not specific. I'm sure it was a... I have it specifically. Viewers and listeners, the Central Virginia Public School that was the first to open its doors in COVID.

Which one was it? And said, come back to the classroom. You need to learn in person with teachers and your peers. Do you know, it was Louisiana County Public Schools. Louisiana County, no secret, conservative in its ideology. It's superintendent, Doug Strayley, phenomenal human being. Okay. I can't tell you how many businesses.

locally in Charlottesville and Almaro County, to this day, are struggling with debt accrued because of COVID in the pandemic and the need for them to pay rents, their monthly lease, their rent, despite the fact that they had no customers allowed in the business. Charlottesville and Almaro County had rules and regulations that limited in-person participation at businesses. It was tied to six feet of distance that you had to be. So square feet of your... Which should we mention was apparently a complete fabrication by Fauci. He just pulled it out of his, you know what?

Completely made up and pulled out of his tail. Square feet for your restaurant, six feet between each customer. That's how many people were allowed in your restaurant. And Almore County in Charlottesville during peak COVID, we're enforcing those numbers and fining businesses that did not follow suit. You talk about inflation. Of course we're going to have inflation. You give Americans, every adult American, thousands of dollars.

Most adults, Americans, thousands of dollars to stay at home and do nothing. Of course you're going to have froth and stocks and equities. Of course that's going to yield and breed inflation. Not to mention just releasing more and more money into the public is inflationary. Fauci more than 100 times declined to answer questions. He's become not just a polarizing figure. He's not just received death threats, but Anthony Fauci is and will be historically the key component or a key component in the chapter of American history when our children,

my children, two sons, an eight-year-old and a three-year-old, your children study this period of time in America. They will forever, forever learn and read about Fauci and how our country struggled through this. There's just about every restaurant on the downtown mall right now is struggling with financial liabilities accrued during COVID. Half a dozen restaurants on the downtown mall,

I won't utilize their name. Their owners took debt against their home or assets like real estate. I won't say who they were, most noteworthy businesses that you can think of folks. You still have vacancies tied to COVID, Wild Wing Cafe Trevinia Kitchen. And when I watch a guy like Anthony Fauci before the Senate,

not even answer what's the color of your tie, what's the color of the carpet in front of you, and pretty much weasel behind the Fifth Amendment, despite enriching himself during COVID, despite his personal brand being household known, despite potential connections to the lab that created the, COVID virus. Potential connections?

I mean, I'm not going to... You're going to be... Okay, I get it. I'll go with you. Potential connections to the... What's it? The Wuhan Lab? Yeah. Potential we'll use just to cover our basis.

Okay? And I want you to remember during that pandemic, this network and this show really started booming in popularity. Because during COVID, five days a week, I sat in this chair, Judah sat in his chair, and we hosted the I Love Seville Show.

When everyone was forced to be at home, they watched this, and that's when our platform really took off. During that show, during that pandemic, I did not wear a mask while hosting this show. I didn't chastise the co-host or the guests that chose to wear a mask. I could care less. Co-host? They were co-hosts. Oh, yeah, yeah. Wasn't you.

You didn't do it. But other co-hosts we had did. Okay. Yeah, that's fair. Okay? I didn't chast. I didn't care. Right.

My issue during that entire period of time was the overreach by the federal government, state government, local government, and infringing upon our rights. Our rights to leave our home. Our rights to support and participate. with locally owned and operated businesses, our rights to pursue our faith and God and how we practice that faith? I don't know if you want to add mental health to that. I mean, there are people that still today wear not just masks,

but wear masks in their car alone driving. In fact, my mom, I was just talking to my mom about this because the Fauci hearing came. up and she saw someone just the other day who was driving around, got to where they were going, stepped out of the car, wearing a mask, driving alone in a car. You know what, but I get it. I think it looks absolutely foolish. But I, that's their right.

They can do that in our country. My problem is that, you know. I applaud them for that. Go ahead and do it. I don't. Don't force it on me. Yeah. I don't point at people because it could be somebody with, you know, with an immune,

a compromised immune system. For them, that may be a life-saving tactic. 100%. But for all the people out there who are terrified because of what happened during COVID, I have to, you know, do we place that on Fauci's shoulders? 100%. Yeah. 100%.

In March of 2020, my wife and I. and at that time we had one son. Just purchased our home before we moved to Ivy and the Glenmore neighborhood. My in-laws from New York came and visited us because we just bought a home and they were excited for us. Then COVID got moving with tremendous momentum. Fauci and the federal government

required everyone to shelter in place in the beginning. Yeah. Literally shelter in place. My in-laws stayed with us because of that for months. Yeah. My wife and my mother-in-law missed my wife's grandma's funeral, my mother-in-law's mom's funeral.

I mean. Because of COVID and sheltering in place. I talk to my, this comes. up from time to time with my wife, including yesterday with Fauci before the Senate and contentious capacity. And my wife emotionally brought up this, she's Irish, she's fiery, she's loyal, she said, basically this MFer calls me to miss my grandmother's funeral. I can't imagine how many people missed out on extremely important family events, whether funerals, whether, I mean. She said this MFer calls me for a year and a half of my life to keep our three-year-old son

inside and away from other kids outside of a handful of a select that we chose to go on lockdown together. Yeah. Her words. talk to the restaurant owners talk to the fabulous John and Andrew Vermillion let's give them some love

Charlottesful Sanitary Supply 63 years in business talk to a small business owner like the Vermilions honest and fair and communicative and ask them what it was like during COVID when

big box stores like Walmart and Target and Costco and Amazon were price over locally owned and operated businesses. When we started working with the Vermilions a couple of years ago, there was no e-commerce website. It was walk into the East High Street location

and purchase the product in the store. Yeah. Right? What's the impact of Fauci and the feds terrifying everyone from stepping foot outside their house because COVID could be on the bottom of our feet? Yeah. in the air.

What about people not being able to see, what about not being able to see someone in the hospital who's on their deathbed? Imagine not being able to see someone on their deathbed because, what, they might get COVID and die? I watch my in-laws and my wife do a Zoom funeral. Yeah. A Zoom digital funeral.

Or what's the, what do you do after the funeral? A wake. A Zoom digital wake. Yeah. Because of this guy. Comets put him in the feed, we'll relay him live on air. Jason Hampshire, I saw him yesterday. Phenomenal human being.

Put Jason Hampshire's photo on screen. The hearing was just theater yesterday. Anthony Fauci is guilty as sin and will skate off with his pension intact when he should be in prison instead. No doubt. He leaves that comet, Jason Hampshire. Jiddy, who likes that comet? Gladys Smallowwood liked that comment as well. Carol Thorpe watching the program.

While we collectively have the benefit of hindsight now, please acknowledge that there were many of us who knew at the time we were being lied to by Fauci, Biden, and especially the mainstream media. We screened it from the mountaintop. All three of them lost respect and credibility with the American public, which they will never, ever recover. 100%.

Stephanie Wells-Rodes is watching the program from the fabulous interstate family. Stephanie Wells Rhodes, texting with her earlier today, she's an amazing person, her photo on screen. She said, I had to miss the birth of my first grandchild

because of this guy. Carol Thorpe also added, our friend Joe Thomas, the broadcaster, could not get into the hospital to be with his mother before she died. Just absolute heartbreaking. Philip Dow, wasn't Biden's hands involved? Biden was involved,

but who was involved? controlling the weekend at Bertie's puppet. And wasn't Biden, the acumen wasn't there for Biden? Right. Who was controlling Biden then? We said all along that this was a manipulated scare tactic to influence an election. I don't think those that use this manipulated scare tactic to keep Trump from winning a second term in his second push, he lost to Biden.

they never anticipated this kind of collateral damage. Oh, I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if this was, besides what you're alleging, also a test run. To reset? A test run to see how much control we can keep on a population, on the world population. Wendy Crouch Gruniger watching the program. I believe this is Wendy Crouch Gruniger's first comment she's ever offered on the I Love Seville show. Welcome to the family, Wendy Crouch, Gruniger.

Jerry, how about college students, coerced or forced to take a vaccine, now proven to cause serious and potential long-term side effects? Not just college students? My wife still has guilt about vaccinating our first son to the frequency of what we did. Still has the guilt. Conan Owen watching the program. He's offered a couple of comments. He's the owner of Sir Speedy in Central Virginia.

Darden graduate Conan Owen, Sir Speedy, Central Virginia, Hispanic-owned business, Conan Owen. If you need anything signage-related, anything at all, graphics, direct mail, signage, lanyard, stickers, the banner behind me, signage outside your business, Conan Owen and Sir Speedy, Central Virginia.

He says, why did Fauci claim the fifth if he had an ironclad pardon from Autopenn Biden that covered all of his actions back to 2014? He could have stood up and said he created the virus, and he killed millions of people and he would be untouchable. It sounds like he's just protecting his reputation and those who protected him.

100%. The whole point of what Fauci did, pleading the Fifth, invoking the Fifth Amendment, 100 plus times yesterday, was because he knows his digital legacy, his digital tombstone. Our tombstones no longer, ladies and gentlemen, are a stone in a grassy field

that people lay flowers on. Our tombstone is our digital legacy of what people search when they find you online. Okay? And Fauci yesterday was looking to protect his digital tombstone, his digital legacy, and everyone else that kept him safe. Conan Owen is watching the program. He also adds, The reason the UI payments were a flat amount for everyone,

regardless of income, was because state unemployment IT systems could not calculate lesser of 800 or percentage of income, so they gave everyone the max, even if it meant a raise not to work. He adds, the PPP program was built for fraud. Banks weren't held accountable for approving fraudulent applications, and the whole process was unnecessary. The ITS has quarterly 941s for every business and could have pulled the data, calculated a wage payroll, and issued checks to real businesses. not anyone with a computer who could download 941s and fill them out at home. Nice. Olivia Branch watching the program, the Queen of Keswick.

Carol completely agrees with you, Judah, that it was a test run to see how they could control the world. I want you to envision a world where Teslas and EVs are driving themselves. A world where the market share of self-driving vehicles is obviously increasing. A market share where everyone, in theory, is safer on the road because self-driving vehicles are controlled by computers and software that limit accidents, keep cars in speed limits. They don't take their eyes off the road. Don't take their eyes off the road. Don't text and drive. Don't talk and drive.

are not distractible humans. That's what we're being sold through marketing and branding. Now I want you to envision a world where self-driving vehicles are the vehicle of choice for the overwhelming majority of Americans and nefarious, criminally-minded,

evil people want a way to take over our country. Do they do it by, through a job? traffic gridlock that they can hack through a traffic system that's hackable because everyone is now tied to software and robots and self-driving vehicles? Do you remember during COVID? That was one of a significant push to get rid of actual like currency, like tangible, feelable, touchable currency. We thought it was on the money. Some of us were saying during the pandemic, Do you realize if we get rid of actual money, like bills, 20s, Benjys, $10 bills, five spots, singles, they're getting rid of the pennies. Pennies are gone, right?

They are gone. That just leaves digital currency. Do you realize a world that's just a digital currency that's also tied to self-driving vehicles? Digital banking, digital currency, and self-driving vehicles, the amount of of, of, of, of, you know, nefarious possibilities that are available or possible because the human ability to think for themselves is being eradicated? Not even that. Imagine not just nefarious. Imagine a world where the government could take all your money, revoke your, turn your car off.

You want to see tent towns, wait until the government decides that certain people are undesized. or are, you know, or maybe just make a clerical error. And all of a sudden your bank account is empty and you've got no recourse. Patrick McAdams is watching the program on YouTube. He's a fantastic contributor to our family, Patrick McAdams, one of the greatest lacrosse players to matriculate through Amaral High School. He says, first he predicted it was Louisa that was the first to open before I said it. He said, not to mention.

all the medical junk. Imagine the acceleration of medical costs and fraud because of COVID. He says, despite having a pardon, Fauci's obstructing justice. He's trying to look like the victim. Lightning Fisher 8177 on YouTube says, prices double during Biden's term. Groceries haven't gone down. Fauci's absolutely guilty. Do you guys remember the housing fueled inflation. Housing during COVID, we bought our home, and this is public record. I'm not speaking at a turn. Some of the meme accounts that like to go after me posted this on their Instagram. We bought our last home and Glenmore in March of 2020 for $700,000. The most perfect time to purchase a home ever. Glenda Howard was the listing agent. I represented myself in this transaction.

I negotiated the deal, the contract represented myself, Glenda Howard on the other side of the deal. We walked into the home that we purchased from Dr. Bobby Chabra and his fabulous wife, also a doctor, on Piperway in Glenmore, with basically a hazmat suit on. We were required to put booties on, we had to wear masks, we weren't really allowed to touch things. I mentioned to my wife

we were living in Redfields at the time on Rockledge Drive that this is the best time sweetheart in American history to buy a house at least in our lifetime because people are afraid to go outside they have completely done away with open houses we were talking during COVID that the open house

the marketing mechanism of the open house was going to go away forever that's literally what we were talking about When we tour this home on Piper Way, it had sat for an extended period of time before COVID, because Glenmore was stale at the time. I came in and offered a low ball number, and I said, I want seller finance terms on this deal over a seven-year term at a 2.75% interest rate, 3% interest rate, I think we got. And this is by the deal I'm willing to do. And that was jumped upon. we live there from March of 2020 until May of 2024.

Okay? March of 2020 until May of 2024. In that period of time from March of 2020 to May of 2024, the home went from $700,000 to $1.2 million. And all we did was sleep on a pillow. There were no improvements to that. the house. There were no HVACs, no roofs, barely painted the inside. We raised a child in it, who was extremely rough. We had two dogs in that house. Max and Leo, now just Max the German

Shepherd. Leo passed away in that house. And basically a four-year period of time, the home went from 700 to 1.2 million. You talk about cost. cost of living in Charlottesville and Almore County in central Virginia being astronomically expensive, ladies and gentlemen, look directly at COVID and how it was handled and managed. You talk about this work from home, this hybrid work where we started getting nomadic money, COVID transplants, COVID carpet baggers, moving to Charlottes from big money, major metropolitan areas, maintaining their jobs at big money, major metropolitan areas,

while working in their basement tied to an ISP and their BVDs or their Victoria's Secret or their bathrobes, driving up the median family household income? It's now what, the median family household income, Judah, and according to HUD? What's the number? Is it 140?

Is it even higher? I think it is 140. I think it's just under 140 at 139 and change. 139,800. For the sake of remembering this, remembering this moving forward, this talk show will use the number 140,000 the median family household income, according to HUD in the greater Charlottesville metropolitan area. I'm going to do this.

Let's see what the HUD 2020 median family household income was. Okay, you write $140,000 down. That's now. In 2020, ladies and gentlemen, it was 90,000. $3,900. We'll round that up to 94K. Okay? So let's use the

2019 number right before COVID, which probably is your most accurate. And hear me out, folks. In 2019, according to housing and urban development, housing urban, I should know what HUD means. Jesus Christ.

HUD, I'm drawing a brain fart. It's, How am I not? I'll find that in a second here. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, okay, I was on it, thank God. 2019, the HUD median family household income in 2019 was $89,000. So in 2019, I can't make these numbers up.

This is HUD. You could find these online by doing a basic Google search. In 2019, it was 89,400. in 2026 HUD is $140,000. That's a $51,000 difference. $51,000 difference in what? Seven years? Yeah.

Folks, I want you to take a deep breath before we go to our next topic. And I want you to look around Charlottesville. And every time you ask yourself, Charlottesville, Almorel, and Central Virginia. How is the housing this obscenely expensive? How are the rents this is insanely expensive? The median family household income is $140,000. How did it get this high this quickly? Why am I driving 15, 20, 30, 45 minutes to work from Louisa or Flavana, the other side of the mountain, Stanton, you name it, to the epicenter of employment. Reverse commuting, perhaps.

Why am I doing that? Why am I rubbing two pennies together and trying to turn it into a quarter? What happened here? Well, Dr. Anthony Fauci and some Biden-led cronies tried to change the world to keep Donald Trump, and I'm not pro-Trump or against Trump, not pro-Biden or against Biden, but facts on facts,

they try to change the world to keep Trump from winning a second term. And as a result, we created an ecosystem where digital nomads are a reality. Yankees, nomads, carpetbaggers

from all pockets of the country have moved here and are working on an ISP in their basement in some kind of hybrid capacity, inflation is ugly and pesky and won't go away and middle class Charlottesville has been whittled down like a number two pencil after the SATs

when I watched him yesterday before the Senate squirm and plead the fifth more than a hundred times my emotions went from infuriated to nauseated to this man is pathetic anything you want to add I don't know. Yeah, I hope there's enough. How about the high school kids that missed their senior prom?

The high school kids that missed their graduation. The college kids that couldn't go to college in person. Remember when the University of Virginia was suspending and potentially expelling kids for having fraternity parties? Yeah. Remember when UVA literally was. policing fraternity parties and house parties and suspending kids. And it wasn't just UVA that was doing it. Yeah, of course not. Remember that? Carol says, how about the talk about the demise of the brick and mortar schools and that all education would become at home digital? She just says maybe the

one good thing that came from the pandemic was the all that trouble that was hubbing in the public schools started coming to the forefront. Yeah. Deep Throats watching the program. He's soon to arrive in Charlottesville from his sprawling ranch in Montana. He's got some commentary. Deep Throat, the crazy thing about Fauci is that he did a horrible job at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic as well. So the guy is our public health guru, and he whiffs on both novel diseases during his tenure, AIDS and COVID.

While it isn't as good as having him hung from a sour apple tree, which he surely deserves, the publication of his ultra-cringe diary is pretty humiliating. Remember when Anthony Fauci threw out the first pitch of a baseball game while wearing a mask? It was the worst first pitch I've ever seen in my entire life. I would encourage you viewers and listeners to YouTube Anthony Fauci first pitch Major League Baseball Game. Ginny Who watching the program. She says, I thought I had worked through my anger from 2020, but the Fauci hearing showed me, I clearly have not.

I share that on Facebook, and I'm definitely not in the minority. She says, and I appreciate you and Judah as well, guys. You guys have done a fantastic job. Thank you. She adds, public schools had serious issues long before the government shut down. It simply helped highlight them, and more people's eyes were open. It's actually a strange silver lining COVID, attracting a microscope to public schools and showcasing all the problems the public schools have had. She also adds, Ginny Who, this is why we took our kids out of town to either Suffolk or the eastern shore as much as possible,

where people were choosing to live normally and celebrated seeing children running around and playing together. And speaking of college, Ginny Hu said, I highly recommend looking at how schools handled the shutdown, and COVID jab mandate before you encourage students to apply there in the future. There were schools that literally required proof of vaccination before they allowed enrollment and admissions and for you attend class on the first day. And I doubt schools were the only ones who were doing that. I mean, there were people that couldn't get jobs. There were people that lost their jobs, people that were excoriated.

and, I mean, I think I saw, Ginny, I think I saw your Facebook post and, yeah, she lays out all, you know, a variety of ways that we were put down. We were name called. We were stigmatized. Scolded. Stigmatized. I was stigmatized. So were you. I was stigmatized so much during COVID for hosting this show.

And I'm like, are you an imbecile? We are in a 900 square foot studio. I'm not sitting close to Judah. We're the only people in this room. COVID doesn't go through the microphone and the screen and social media platforms. What are you talking about? I had so many people, business owners. We work together.

We saw each other 40 hours a week. How long, how long was the COVID insanity last? I don't even remember. Was it two years? It was probably a little over two years. And then at the end, people are like, this is insane. I had a business owner. You and I were going to share COVID or whatever else comes up.

We see each other 45 hours a week. Yeah. We work at a 900 square foot space. Yeah. To think that another business was just going to magically survive on vibes and good wishes. without being able to come into an office and do actual work is insanity. Yeah. There was a business owner.

I'm not going to mention this business owner's name. A downtown mall business owner. As left-leaning as you could possibly be, left-leaning. Tremendous respect for this person I do. Ideology is very different. Okay. This business owner, she would chastise me regularly during 2020. me in 2021, the years about hosting in this show, saying you're a leader in this show,

leader in this community. The fact that you're doing these shows and running your business during COVID is a travesty. You are bringing this community down, running your business and doing these shows. You should be staying at home and we shouldn't be seeing your face. And I responded back to her, I said, I'm not going to say who it was. Okay. I responded back to her. if I don't run my business or go to work, how do I pay my bills?

How do I, how does Judah pay his bills? How does the team pay their bills? And her response was, I kid you not. Let President Biden figure that out. I kid you not. I kid you not. I see this person to this day on the downtown mall. And when she sees me, I go out of my way.

way to go up and talk to her, try to shake her hand and hug her to really drive home the point. And she drops her eyes to the ground almost every time in shame and humiliation. Especially now I would assume. 100%. Now she knows she realizes how loony-tune she was. In shame, she drops her eyes to the bricks of the downtown mall. I go out of my way. I cut across the mall when I see her on the other side of the mall to go up to talk to her in person,

Every single time. I believe it. Every single time. Out of my way. I'll end phone calls. I say I'll have to call you back. Just to go and make a connection with this person. Handshake or hug always try to do.

And it's always body language and energy of shame. Anyone putting that much credence in a president? And I'm not just talking about Biden, folks. I'm talking about all of them. the one that we've got right now included. Nuts. You know what's crazy is I think I got vaccinated once. I did too, seven.

The first time once. I never got COVID. I never got it. I don't think I, well, it certainly didn't get the flu during that time. I never got it. Yeah, I don't think I got it either. I don't even really get sick. Yeah, neither of us do get sick all that often.

I mean, you've born here for six. 16 years, I think I've seen you sick like once. Yeah, I've probably stayed home from work once. Yeah. I actually think I worked a week here before finding out that I had pneumonia. Well, you could have gone home if you had a memo. Next, all right, next headline. What do we got you to work? We got some items. We've got to get out of the notebook here. Let's see, we could talk about biggest gentrification impact.

We can talk about best... the best little restaurant footprint in Seville area? The marker of the standard. Put that lower third on screen. I want to spend about 90 seconds to two minutes on this. Why this is a good talk show topic is because they're the same developer. The person, the development firm

that built the standard on West Main Street, that's where the pot belly sandwich shop is. It's now called Yugo Crestline. Think about how asinine it is to name a luxury of, student tower, apartment tower, Ugo, after one of the worst cars in production, global production, vehicle history. Okay. So Ugo Crestline was formerly known as the standard. I'm going to use the standard because I don't want to call it Ugo Crestline. I call it Twitter. I don't call it X.

Okay. The standard versus the mark. The mark is going to be the luxury student tower that's coming to Fifeville behind the historically African American church on West Main Street, literally in the heart of the community that's got a lot of people, you know, got their underwear and a bundle, rowed up, okay? Which one gentrifies the community more? The mark of the standard, you know? 60 seconds each.

Two minutes on this before we go to the next topic. I'll put us on the clock right now. Go. I mean, this isn't really my area. There's no wrong answer. There's no wrong answer. I would, I mean, I guess I would say the mark just because of the outrage it's produced

but I don't know the actual effects. The standard, is that next to West Haven? The standard creates a shadow, blocks the sun with West Haven. But I don't know that we have actually seen gentrifying effects based on the standard? I don't know. I don't think we have, at least besides casting a shadow. Patricia Ritz-McKennamie is watching the program. She says, Jerry, why did they change the name?

They changed the name of the standard because the standard was sold to, in a real estate deal led by Morgan Stanley. This was done fairly recently. It wasn't just the standard that was sold. It was luxury apartment towers and a number of university centric cities. They were rolled up in a deal, a deal with Morgan Stanley as the lead buyer driving the deal flow. That's why they changed it from the standard to you go crossline. Judah is right. The Mark and Fifeville will be one of the most significantly remembered gentrifying factors in Charlottesville City save the urban renewal of Vinegar Hill storyline, sad storyline.

Terrible. Hundreds of families, a couple hundred businesses, churches and an entire black community, many of them, overwhelming majority centered where Staples' office supply is, where the Shabin used to be. Okay. That was ripped away from the black community a handful of generations ago. And the black community at that time, in a narrow referendum vote, barely passed,

was then placed into public housing, which we now call West Haven. Charlottesville City said, we want this. It's right next to the downtown mall. We can have, this being, the area of a black neighborhood. So the city, urban renewaled it,

They called it urban renewal, basically took the land, the businesses, the real estate, the own property away from hundreds of people, and then put them in public housing. That's the most significant, jettrifying storyline in Charlottesville history. The mark in Fifell is going to be top five on that list. Where it falls on that list, two, three, four, five, TBD, but it's going to be in the top five. There's no question about it. And I'll say it again, and I'm going to drive home this point, if the black community, if the activist community, if the financially margin community wants an entity or people to blame for why this was permitted, you need to look exactly at livable Charlottesville. Next headline, lower third on screen, Judah Woodcower. Next up, we've got the best little footprint, little restaurant.

footprint in civil area. This is a fun topic. And this is because Mel's has a new tenant in play, right? Was it Michelle's soul food joint? Yep. Michelle's soul food joint is the one taking over that spot now. Okay. So Mel's a, she's got a food truck that I see every Sunday on Riverside. Yeah. So Michelle's soul food joint is the new tenant at Mel's. After the last tenant, delicious, what is it? I think it's a takeoff on dill, but delicious chicken and fish. Failed. In large part, they failed because of poorly run Charlottesville City Hall

and a health inspection process that took six plus months until the business could open. Yeah. Okay. Now you can make the argument that they should have. if I was advising him, made this a requirement before any lease was activated or signed to your homework. Okay. Homework was not done. The Mel Spott, I would call a little restaurant, right?

It's one of the little restaurants out there. It leads me to ask you this question. In Charlottesville City, let's go, city limits only, what are the best little restaurants, little footprint restaurants in Charlottesville City? A few come to mind for me. Ready? The luce pasta window. Does that even count as a restaurant? You can't sit down, can you?

I don't even think you can sit down outside. I mean, you can bring it to the mall. I mean, it's not a food truck. Luce pasta window. It's got to be a restaurant. What do you call it? A takeout window? But is that really the best footprint?

I mean, Jesus. Revenue per square foot? Money generated per square foot with the luce pasta? That's not what you were asking, though. I mean, that's what I'm alluding to. Okay. Lucche pasta I'll put on there. How about, what's the place on,

God, how am I drawing a blank on this? Where is it? Next to Guadalajara, the coffee shop in JPA. That's had some changes recently. I know there's like a couple of Asian restaurants. Atlas coffee. Atlas coffee right next to where Guadalajara closed on JPA in Fry Springs. Atlas Coffee.

Remember that Guadalajara and Atlas Coffee recently traded. I love Sebel subscribers, know all those details. It's $8 a month to get the Intel. You should be subscribing to our substack. Atlas Coffee, right? How about the Crape Place on Water Street? Yeah. Cray Place on Water Street.

Is that open? I don't think that's open right now. No, it's not open. I believe it became Vue noodles. I think that's closed as well now. Yep. Luce pasta. Atlas Coffee.

That was a great little. But, though again, I think there were only like a couple benches outside. The Mel's Place, Mel's Place, okay, and the University Shopping Center next to a few doors down from the Lou Stevens' own tennis shop, a few doors down from where Tokyo Rose used to be on Ivy Road, there's a carryout window Chinese food carryout window is that Juan Ho or is Juan Ho on JPA

I think Juan Ho is on JPA yeah Juan Ho's on JPA what is the name of the Chinese restaurant see if you can figure that out Chinese takeout Ivy Road Taiwan Garden Taiwan Garden

they crush it at Taiwan Taiwan Garden and the University Shopping Center. Taiwan Garden Restaurant, I believe that's what it is. Yeah, 2171 Ivy Road. Taiwan Garden to Go. That's a takeout window. That's one that's going to be on the list. So here are five, you want a conversation started for your cocktail and charcutory

party this weekend. Luce pasta, Atlas Coffee, the crate place on Water Street, Mel's Diner and the Taiwan Garden to Go, the best small restaurants, little restaurants, in Charlottesville City Limits. What am I missing viewers and listeners? Comments are coming in. Put your comments in the feed.

Conan Owen says, Great place turned into, the crate place turned into Vood Noodles, which now moved into the Jefferson Theater, and the little brick area on Water Street is now empty. It's not only empty, but it's overgrown. I actually saw it on the Charlottesville subreddit recently. Someone post about that great place.

John Blair's watching the program. He's offering some commentary on the COVID storyline from earlier in the show. Jerry, you hit on the biggest second order impact or effect of the COVID experience. The federal government's actions directly increased inequality by multiples. Due to the inflationary spend, prices exploded, but housing prices had a nuclear reaction. Inflation always increases in equality because asset holders see their worth's increase. The more assets you own, the more your net worth increases in an inflationary environment. As you know, a steep increase in money supply, along with a lack of good services supply increase,

only increases the velocity of money. The velocity causes rapid inflation. 100%. That's fantastic economic analysis there from John Blair, who I'm going to continue to say it would make a phenomenal city manager here in Charlottesville, Virginia. I'll say it again. Okay. Our topic is the best little restaurants in Charlottesville, Virginia. Little.

Got to be little. Okay. I was kind of surprised that Meza was going into the Trevinia kitchen spot. I'm baffled that they think that that can make it. I mean, that's, we're talking about rice bowls. You know how many rice bowls? Have you been to Meza? Yeah.

It had a spot like one street over parallel to, well, not parallel. It was on, it was like a, block and a half from, from Trevinia. And it's like, they do, they basically do rice bowls and salads. I can't imagine how many of those you'd have to sell in order to pay the, pay the rent at Trevinia. And speaking of which, the spot they were in, Carly Wagner's watching the program, $17 rice bowls. $17 rice bowls. And she says they are banging. They are very good. Carly Wagner, who I have tremendous respect for, she's extremely intelligent. I didn't say they were good or bad. Says there were so many wacky policies during

COVID. I gave birth at home in August 2020, which I am internally grateful for now. But it was because at that time, Centera was requiring two negative COVID tests before you could hold your baby. The baby that just came out of your body. Yeah, who might have COVID in care you. They would take to the nursery to be cared for by a different nurch each shift. As bad as COVID policies were, they helped me refocus and prioritize many things about life. I would have never had the homebirth or even considered homeschooling without COVID. And homeschooling is the most impactful and meaningful aspect of our family's life right now. That's from engineer Carly Wagner. That's from Realtor Carly Wagner, off the chart, smart Carly Wagner right there.

William McChesney says, I doubt John Blair wants the Charlottesville city manager's job. I wouldn't assume that William McChesney, the mayor of McIntyre, and I'm not, I don't have any intelligence, yes or no, this is just me talking. Never have I ever had this conversation in any capacity with John Blair. I do know John Blair used to work for City Hall, was the best city attorney Charlottesville's ever had, was an interim city manager, and is now unbelievably talented and a gift to Stanton. One of the key players that's Stanton and their local government. I do know he lives in the Charlottesville area.

I'm not going to say where. I see his son often. He's a fantastic squash player. See his wife often. She's a fantastic mom. Okay? I'm not saying he wants it. I'm not saying he doesn't want it.

I'm saying if it does come available, I'm going to be pushing John Blair is the city manager. And I'm saying the seat under Sam Sanders, the current city manager, is excruciatingly hot right now. I did hear through the grapevine from an incredibly connected and heavy hitter locally. I'm going to respect this man's anonymity. Okay? I talk to this guy often do a lot of business deals with this guy.

Okay? I did hear from him today on the phone. He had a conversation with the mayor. And the mayor confirmed with him that they are going to put policy in play that no public camping or storage of possessions will. be allowed on the downtown mall. And frankly, that's some breaking news for the viewers and listeners of the I Love Seville Show. Connected person, as connecting as it gets, not going to say who it was, conversation with the mayor, and the mayor said, no public camping, no storage of possessions is the plan for downtown

Charlottesville because they know tent town is going to head to the downtown mall once its tent town is torn down on September 1. That's breaking news for you, viewers, and listeners. Frankly, probably should have led the show with that. I'll lead the show tomorrow with that. Okay? I had six phone calls before the show started with people varying economic and political connections and interests.

We're covering a lot of stuff here. We went from the small little restaurants to who would be a great city manager to public policy about sheltering in place and storing of your possessions. My list, have I missed any viewers and listeners? of the best tiny restaurants in Charlottesville and no particular order,

luce pasta, Atlas coffee, the crate place on Water Street, Mel's Cafe, and Taiwan Garden. It's almost not fair to put Mell's Cafe on that list. Because Luce Atlas, crepe place, and Taiwan Garden takeout window are extremely smaller than Mels, even though Mels is very small.

Are we missing any? I mean, there's lots of small places. I don't know how small you're going. I mean, you've been talking about... It can't be a food truck or a full. food cart or a food trip. I mean, do I put the dairy market stalls on that list?

I don't know. I mean, I guess all the dairy market stalls would be on that list. Philip Dowell says this show is absolutely fantastic today. Thank you, Mayor of Scottsville. I mean, I guess you can make an argument that every stall at dairy market is on that list. You would be shocked

with how much the rent is for the stalls at dairy market viewers and listeners. How small are the, I don't know what the... Have you been to Atlas Coffee? No. Holy. It is not big. It is extremely tiny.

Okay. Have you been to Luce pasta? No. You would very much enjoy Luce pasta after work and getting some of their pasta to go. It's banging. I was waiting for a place kind of like that. I don't know exactly how they do it, but we had a place in Oldport when I lived there. And it was, you know, you could go and get pasta and it took five to ten minutes.

Have you been to? the Taiwan garden takeout window on Ivy Road? It's extremely good. Have you been to Mells? No. You need to get out. Conan Owen says how small is no longer small. I would put Oak hard or Public in the mix

Tavala on that list as well. What about Jack Brown? Tavala? Tavala is not that small, is it? No, Tavala's not that small. Tavala's small, but it's not that small. Jack Brown's is small, but it's not Atlas Coffee small. Okay.

But is a coffee place really considered a restaurant? They sell other stuff besides coffee. They sell food. What about Cumbra? Which one? Cumbra. Cumbria's small. Yeah.

Not that small. Really? Cumbra over here in the old barbershop spot off the downtown mall by Tarleton Oak. Yeah. And that thing's tiny. It's tiny. But you need to go to Atlas coffee. I think that's why we need some...

Maybe I should have put some parameters, square foot parameters. When I thought small, the first thing I thought of was Jack Browns. John Blair says... And then you're like, here's a place that doesn't have any seeds and you can't like even sit down outside. I'm like, oh, that's small. John has another one. Wayside is the best small footprint restaurant in Charlottesville. I think they only have four booths inside.

Wayside is small. It's small. Tom Powell says, Jerry and Judah, your show is always awesome. An appointment television. Thank you, Tom Powell. He's the founder of Toy Lift. We appreciate you, Tom Powell. All right, next topic here. We've gone 71 straight minutes here without a commercial break. I do want to give some attention to Stanley Martin Holmes. Stanley Martin Holmes, Judah, did you know has built more than 600 homes in the last two years in the Charlottesville, Central Virginia area?

Did you know Stanley Martin Holmes is bringing nearly 50 homes to the Fry Springs neighborhood in the very near future? Nearly 80 homes right outside Glenmore at Breezy Hill. And Stanley Martin Holmes is the developer and home builder that is absolutely reimagining Green County. They're extremely genius. Their foresight is off the charts. Off the charts their foresight. They're developing large tracks of land in Green County, literally a hop skip and a jump away from Rivana, Future in Rivana Station, where AstraZeneca's building their global and world headquarters.

Genius, Stanley Martin Holmes. Dedicated to homes that cater to each person's unique needs and lifestyles, Stanley Martin Holmes. Speaking of Holmes. What's the next topic here? 325 Kent Road. I found this compelling. You don't always find transactions like this. Put the lower throat on screen, then show them the photos.

325 Kent Road and the Lewis Mountain Neighbor. 325 Kent Road in the Lewis Mountain neighborhood. This has been purchased by, not an LLC. This is actually going to have been purchased by people who plan on living there. I'm not going to mention who the people are that bought this house. I will say 325 Kent Road was purchased for $1,910,000 on July 24th. I track transactions in Almaro County and Charlottesville City. And in Charlottesville City, and in Charlottesville City, specifically, you do not often see trades of this clip. $1,910,000 in Charlottesville City. $325 Kent Road, $1,910,000 and closed on July 24th. It was first listed on May 31st, so this went under contract immediately. Interestingly, it was listed at $1,895,000. It traded for $1,910,000. So it traded for $15,000 above list price. That leads me to believe it was a multiple offer situation with some escalators. I'll give props and kudos to selling agent Lindsay Milby of Loring Woodruff Real State Associates and props and kudos to buyers

representative, Vaux and Bobby Montgomery of Nest for driving this deal to close. 325, Kent road just traded on July 24th for $1,910,000 first came on the market in the Lewis Mount neighborhood on the 31st of May at $1,895,000. A couple plans to live there, a family. Next headline, Judah Wickhauer. Let us know. Next, we have the over under. All right. Tuesday is the school board meeting. On Tuesday, the school board. is going to host a public meeting at 10 a.m. What a bunch of numnuts. 10 a.m. for a. for a.

school board meeting that they want the community to participate in. Doing a.m. that's shady and that's numb nuts-esque. Okay. 10 a.m. during the work day on a. during the work week, 10 a.m. What are you doing? Sketch balls. Super sketch. Real sketch. Sketchy big sketch deans right there. Sketchy mick sketch teens right there. Okay. Can't be more straightforward than sketchy msketchsteen's okay how many people show up to this meeting i think this could be a prop bet for judah and i with a bottle of scotch on the line oh good lord no are we going to put the over under at 50 50 in attendance and we're going to have to eyeball this because it's going to be on the live stream we're going to have to use the live stream because we're going to be working school board at 10 a m on a

tuesday you sketchy mcatchdines 50 people over under Are you taking the over or the under? I'd take the over. I'd take the over on 52. 60. Over to the under. Sick. Oh, man.

Are you going to do this 10 people at a time? Until we find an over-under threshold. Oh, my goodness. All right. I'll put it at 100. The over-under is 100 people are in attendance at this school board meeting on Tuesday at 10 a.m. It's this Tuesday, viewers and listeners. This Tuesday at 10 a.m.

Taking the over or the under. I'll say under. Hundreds are a lot of people for a time. Tuesday at 10 a.m. Yeah, no doubt. Just even even considering all of the outrage and the anger and and they did that strategically. Yeah. I don't think it's going to help them. I don't think there's going to be 100 people that show up. I don't think so either. And early August right before school starts, two weeks before school starts. Yeah. And that right there is not an indication of apathy that is not, is not, is not, is not.

an indication of apathy. That instead is an indication of sketchy, sketched deans juking the system with a.m. called meeting during the work week. That's bogus. And that's sad. I'd say it's a lot like what they did to wrigglement. Riggling it. Firehouse primary? Yeah, rigging it so either the people that you want. That happened during COVID. The firehouse primary happened during COVID. We got Bob Good and nothing good about Bob Good during COVID because of Firehouse Primary because Riggleman was the minister at a gay wedding. Yeah. Conservative 5th District Kingmakers said, Denver, you like Bigfoot and you're officiating

in gay marriage? We're going to firehouse primary you out of Congress and nothing good happened with Bob Good. Yeah. What, back-to-back terms with Bobby Good? Come on now. Another COVID ramification right there, collateral damage. All right, final topic of the show.

Is it Hampton, Sydney? I think so. I found this intriguing. Yesterday, we broke the news for you that former UVA tennis coach Brian Bolin is now the head coach at Hampton, Sydney. It's no coincidence that Coach Boland, who's a friend of the program, he's a friend of the program, love Brian Boland. He's the head coach of a tennis team at an all-boys school.

He got into some trouble at Baylor. I'm not speaking at a turn. This is public record with some inappropriate text messages with a Baylor co-ed that wanted to play tennis at Baylor. It was investigated. Eventually that led to his fallout at Baylor. Okay. Hey, he's going to Hampton City.

It's all guys. You're not going to have that inappropriate co-ed texting happen at Hampton City. It's all guys. It's all guys. It's not a coincidence right there that Brian Bullen was hired at an all-male school. You can justify it with your donors, your board of visitors. your president and not have liability, exposure, culpability, any kind of people picketing, any kind of stuff like that. It's all guys. It's not going to be sexting, texting,

texting inappropriate stuff to co-eds. It's all guys. Okay. Here's an interesting, interesting wrinkle. Interesting wrinkle of the storyline. Former UVA tennis coach, Brian Bowlin, is the head coach at Hamptons Indy tennis. Former UVA lead squash assistant, Grant White. is the head coach at Hampton Sydney Squash. That means, ladies and gentlemen, that two UVA coaches, Grant White and Brian Boland, one-time coaches, are now leading rackets, squash and tennis

at Hampton, Sydney, one of the most prestigious all-men's colleges and universities in the country. That is to Hampton Sydney's benefit. I personally know, both Grant White and Brian Bowlin. I call them both friends. Bolin and White are going to make Hamptitsyn

and Tennis and Squash regional, if not, East Coast powerhouses. And they're going to do it by pursuing the athletic talent at the private and prep schools in the Mid-Atlantic. I'm talking from the Prep League, I'm talking from Stab, I'm talking from St. Chris, Benedictine, these private schools, Norfolk Academy, Walsingham Academy, Hanton Roads Academy, Woodbury Forests,

are hotbeds for racket talent. Grant White and Brian Bowlin will make Hampton, Cindy. Special place for rackets. Mark that down, viewers and listeners. He's Judah Wickhauer. I'm Jerry Miller. I'll close the show by saying, I have a client that is looking to purchase a service business.

A client looking to purchase a service business ladies and gentlemen, financing is buttoned up. A client looking to purchase a service business. If you have a service business that you're looking to sell, I have a buyer for you. Okay? My commission on this deal is 8%. It's standard on all the brokerage deals that I do. 8%. I have a client looking to purchase a service business. The financing is vetted. It is a fantastic buyer. 8% is my commission. My DMs, text messages. and inbox are open. For Judah Wick Tower, I'm Jerry Miller. This is the water cooler of content and conversation.
