Starting point is 00:00:00 Good Friday afternoon, guys. I'm Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us on the I Love Seville Show. It's great to be with you on a glorious Friday afternoon. Not only glorious, but gorgeous, I would say. I mean, we're March 8th, and what are we dealing with, 60, 70 degree weather? Oh, it's amazing. I usually say that I usually want it to be warm like this in March, but March tends to surprise me with some like last minute cold snaps. And so I'm very happy with the weather we've had this March. Let's go. Absolutely, Judah. And Judah Wickhauer's generosity on full display today after I gave him a little ribbing on yesterday's program. There goes Tim Longo. Chief Longo, how you doing? I just waved to the chief. He makes a, have
Starting point is 00:01:07 we created a name for this, Chef Wittkower? Let's call it, how about... Wittkower stew? How about spicy sausage stew? Judah juice? That's kind of scary, the Judah juice. No. We're not going to call it Judah juice? I mean, do you want to... I don't want to eat Judah juice. Do you want to take it home and ask your wife if she'd like some Judah juice? We're not even going to go down that road. He has made us a...
Starting point is 00:01:35 I'd call it if chili forticated with stew and soup, we get the Witkower wizardry in my hand right here. I'll go into a little more detail about it later, but it's closer to a puzzle. Oh, okay. Let's go to the one shot so the viewers and listeners can see the headlines on screen. A number of breaking news items on today's program, which we're excited to talk about. Mickey Tavern, the Mickey Tavern deal is no more.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Ladies and gentlemen, this hit the news cycle about a month and change ago. Mickey Tavern was set to be purchased by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, the nonprofit that owns Monticello, the nonprofit that owns Jefferson Vineyards. In fact, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation spent $11,750,000 last year to buy the 400-acre Jefferson Vineyard. The Thomas Jefferson Foundation, the nonprofit group that owns and operates the Monticello estate, was about to purchase. And in fact, the talk in dealmaker circles was, it was pretty much signed, sealed, and delivered. But the deal has fallen apart. We will read verbatim the nitty-gritty on what has transpired.
Starting point is 00:03:03 This, straight from the source, Mickey Tavern and the owner, Greg, himself. We have some good news and some not-so-good news regarding Mickey Tavern. The prospective purchaser, which is the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, has terminated the contract. Here's the good news. We are still owned by the same proprietor and have been in business that's been in business
Starting point is 00:03:30 for over 50 years. The same proprietor owns this. More on that in a matter of moments. The beloved Greg continues to own Mickey Tavern. More information on this deal that's fallen apart, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:03:46 You will continue to have a wonderful midday dining experience in the ordinary with great fried chicken, delicious biscuits, and the sides you love at Mickey Tavern. You will recognize the staff. The staff will not be outsourced to a Pennsylvania hospitality group. That was the scuttlebutt with the Thomas Jefferson Foundation purchasing Mickey Tavern. They were going to outsource the food and beverage management to a Pennsylvania hospitality group, which was then going to slash payroll and make cuts to further maximize profits. That's not going to happen anymore. More good news. The Tavern shop will reopen soon.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Here's the not-so- good news. The tavern shop will reopen soon. Here's the not so good news. It's going to take a while for new merchandise to arrive at the tavern shop. Jokingly, tug in cheek, Greg, the proprietor says, well, not so good news. Greg will not be retiring anytime soon. Remember, one of the key influences to this deal of Mickey Tavern being sold to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation was Greg, the proprietor, was looking to retire. And if you know anything about the food and beverage business, it is a grueling business, a grueling business. And Greg McDonald has done a fantastic job running Mickey Tavern. So that is news that you may be hearing for the first time, news that after today's talk show will hit the legacy and
Starting point is 00:05:12 traditional media cycles of print, radio, and television. Mickey Tavern will not be purchased by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, the nonprofit group that owns Monticello and Jefferson Vineyards. Where do you want to go with this one, Judah? Frankly, I find this to be fantastic for the community. I am a bit saddened for the owner who is looking to retire after many years of hard work. But in the grand scheme of things, we are not going to see staffing outsourced, budgets cut, and an icon that is Mickey Tavern will persevere and be preserved in its current form, at least for a little while longer. Yeah, I think it definitely sounds like, aside from what you mentioned with the proprietor wanting to retire, it sounds like this is the better way to go.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Even aside from the fact that the Thomas Jefferson Foundation seems like it's been a bit of a you-know-what show recently. I think probably a lot of the staff at Mickey Tavern are probably wiping their brows. Oh, look at that. Judah with the brow wipe right there. If you want to get lower thirds on screen, my friend, I concur and agree with what you just said. It sounds like all of their jobs
Starting point is 00:06:52 were potentially in jeopardy. And the insecurity of that cannot be enjoyable. Holly Foster watching the program right now. Let's go to Holly Foster on screen. She's a key member of the I Love Seville viewer and listener family. We have multiple breaking news items in today's edition of the program. Holly Foster is watching in Henrico.
Starting point is 00:07:16 She loves Central Virginia, Charlottesville, and Almarol dearly. Number 17 in the family, Holly Foster. She says, I hope that Mickey Tavern will be able to keep the staff in the original menu. Holly Foster, we hope as well. And now we can speak with confidence and conviction that it will happen. Why do you think the Thomas Jefferson Foundation backed out of this deal in the bottom of the ninth inning? I don't know. Like I said, it sounds like they've had a lot of internal issues going on lately, and this may have just been an offshoot of one of those internal issues getting in the way of, you know, I guess them acting as a single unit.
Starting point is 00:08:06 But ultimately, who knows? Thomas Jefferson Foundation is certainly in the news. If you want to rotate the second lower third with the first lower third. Monticello's been in the news, not necessarily for all the right reasons. The non-profit that owns Monticello, the estate
Starting point is 00:08:26 the Jefferson Vineyard neighbor neighboring property and the organization that wanted to purchase Mickey Tavern has had a level of scrutiny on it over the last six months with resignations
Starting point is 00:08:43 at Monticello, surprise resignations. Yeah, a lot of them. A lot of resignations. And catching serious flack from the community for outsourcing the food and beverage and hospitality management of Mickey Tavern, a beloved brand. To a Pennsylvania company.
Starting point is 00:09:03 To an out-of-state company, exactly. So if you are hearing this for the first time, that is news that will certainly be in the legacy or traditional media cycle that has not penetrated yet television, radio, and print. This is another piece of breaking news. Spring Creek Golf Club in Louisa County has been sold. This surprised me. Spring Creek Golf Club and the Spring Creek gated community
Starting point is 00:09:36 of Zion's Crossroads, the club has been purchased by Heritage Golf Group. Heritage Golf Group. Heritage Golf Group has 35 country clubs it owns across the United States. Its home office is in Northern Virginia. If that lower third is on screen, give me a thumbs up. Its home office, thank you Judah, just outside Washington, D.C. Heritage Golf Group owns clubs in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, the Commonwealth of Virginia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
Starting point is 00:10:18 The company continues to grow by acquiring a mix of private country clubs and residential communities, member-owned clubs with growth potential seeking strategic alternatives, and premium daily fee and resort golf properties and major resort destinations in metropolitan markets. Spring Creek Golf Club is a gorgeous community. If you live in the Spring Creek neighborhood, you probably don't know this. You're talking one of the largest neighborhoods in central Virginia. Spring Creek, nationally recognized golf course. It's a 72, it's a par 72, 18 hole championship course,
Starting point is 00:11:02 7,348 yards from the back tees. It was designed by Ed Carton. It's a course that's accessible for all golfers, yet challenging for tournament professionals. It's got a 15,000 square foot clubhouse with large multi-level outdoor areas offering spectacular views of the 18th finishing hole the restaurant is open to the public and receives positive reviews more breaking news for you spring creek golf course
Starting point is 00:11:35 in the 950 acre spring creek residential community in the interstate 64 z's Crossroads Corridor, 15 minutes from Charlottesville and 45 from Richmond, has been sold to Heritage Golf Group, which is based out of Herndon, Virginia. Significant right there. Significant. You have an out-of-market owner now owning
Starting point is 00:12:01 one of the premier golf clubs in central Virginia. Spring Creek, if you play this course, I would expect your rates to escalate. I would expect cart fees. Fees
Starting point is 00:12:20 associated with playing this course to increase. I'm curious what's going to happen to current management and current staff. Anytime an out-of-market owner comes in and purchases something, they're doing it with the eye of maximizing profits. The same story with Mickey Tavern.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Yep, I was just thinking that. This is Mickey Tavern, similar storylines, except in this storyline, the deals happened. Yep. in that. This is Mickey Tavern. Similar storylines. Except in this storyline, the deals happened. Yeah. You will see this penetrate the legacy media cycle outside of once this show is
Starting point is 00:12:55 completed. There's another golf club, country club, in our central Virginia market that I'm hearing is off market for sale it is tough a tough tough business to be in
Starting point is 00:13:23 if you're a homeowner in Spring Creek, how do you respond to this news, Judah? I think I'd have to wait and find out if they have what kind of plans they have, how they're going to change things. Not initial trepidation that an out-of-market owner owns the club.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Remember, when you're buying in a gated community, your home ownership is tied to the success of the club. Philip Dow, thank you for sharing the show. We appreciate you, Philip Dow. His photo on screen, if you could. Philip Dow in Scottsville, Virginia is 14 in the family. John Blair, we appreciate you as well. His photo on screen, number two in the polls. Mr. John Blair. So not initially trepid from you, J-dubs. I think the fact that they have successfully taken over other businesses and the fact that you're right, they're going to have a lot of homeowners to answer to. I think that whatever happens, you're right, they'll try to maximize their profits, obviously. But I think in this case, we'll probably have to wait and see how drastic any changes are.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Time will tell. John says, way to break some news, Jerry and Jude, on Mickey Tavern. He also said he had the pleasure of attending a Monticello District Boy Scout event last night organized by Ginny Hu, one of the key members of our family.
Starting point is 00:15:13 John says Ginny Hu is a first-class person. Let's get Ginny Hu's photo on screen, number four in the family. We love hearing when viewers and listeners interact, conversate, and meet outside the family. We love hearing when viewers and listeners interact, conversate, and meet outside the show. A busy Friday for this talk show, ladies and gentlemen. If you're just tuning into the show, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation has backed out of its purchase
Starting point is 00:15:40 of Mickey Tavern, the nonprofit that owns the Monticello Estate and neighboring Jefferson Vineyards, had a deal in place to buy Mickey Tavern, the icon, and has now kiboshed the deal with the Thomas Jefferson Foundation backing out of the arrangement. If you're also just tuning into the program, Heritage Golf Club out of Herndon, Virginia,
Starting point is 00:16:03 has purchased Spring Creek Golf Club in Louisa County. Judah's got the next headline. UVA disputing the DEI numbers, the diversity, equity, and inclusion numbers, and says it, in fact, is spending less. This is making traction not just in Virginia, not just in the U.S., but with media outlets that have a worldwide feel and pull, including the Daily Mail. Yeah, as far as the U.K. and possibly further. But it's very interesting. UVA is alleging that a lot of the employees salary in with the DEI numbers. Okay, read it verbatim. Let's see. The university disputed parts of the report and says it only spends $5.8 million out of its annual $2.3 billion academic budget on DEI.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Which could be true. We've got, but we've still got some pretty high, highly paid employees there. And some of them are, some of them seem like they may be a bit unhinged. There is... Unhinged, wow. They're one of the... And this is according to the story.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Yes. they're uh one of the and this is according to the the story yes um um rachel spraker an equity and an equity and inclusive officer i don't know if that should be equity and inclusivity who calls appalachia's wave of premature deaths a sign of white toxicity. What does this even mean? What? What does this even mean? I think it's... I mean, it's...
Starting point is 00:18:39 Would you call that racist? What does this even mean? What is she even alluding to? She's alluding to the fact that apparently she's from the Appalachia area. And I think she believes that there is a white toxicity problem there that is feeding into the fact that people, I don't know if it's necessarily committing suicide, but the fatality rate of people there seems to indicate, she believes, that it has to do with white toxicity. They also say researchers have highlighted Rachel Spraker, who makes $242,840 a year as an equity and inclusion expert with a track record in controversial comments
Starting point is 00:19:42 about racism in her native Appalachia. I don't know. I don't, I don't care if people make good money. I don't care if people, and make sure we have the right lower third on screen if we can, please. I don't care if people earn an income that is considered high. Props to them. I have no beef if employees of UVA are trying to maximize their earning potential. Props to them. I do have a beef when a number of $20 million a year is being allocated to staffers.
Starting point is 00:20:30 And the spending watchdog Open the Books, you can find them online at Open the Books, reported recently that the flagship public college in the Commonwealth of Virginia, right here in Charlottesville, spends $20 million, 15 on salaries and 5 in benefits for its DEI staff. I said on this program, you're spending, I said this earlier in the week, if you're spending $20 million on DEI, should that $20 million be better spent on $450,000 a year scholarships. Definitely. Scholarships that could be genuinely allocated
Starting point is 00:21:10 to students of color. That would seem to have a more significant impact on diversity, equity, and inclusion than hiring staffers. Not to mention the fact that UVA has come under some scrutiny recently about their lack of action in the case of Jewish students being harassed. And it seems, I don't know, it seems, egregious isn't the word I'm looking for,
Starting point is 00:21:56 but it seems strange that they're spending this much money on equity and inclusiveness and then keeping mum about some of the things that have been done to students in the name of anti-Semitism. And not just unique to UVA, that storyline. We've seen that storyline...
Starting point is 00:22:21 Certainly across the United States. Certainly in Ivy League schools, and certainly across the United States. Regardless, still a sad storyline. Certainly across the United States. Certainly in Ivy League schools and certainly across the United States. Regardless, still a sad storyline. Especially when you're spending $20 million a year on DEI. Whether it's $5.8 million or $20 million. There's more about Spraker here as well. Spraker has spoken about how her community embraced white supremacy and suggests that is linked to its social problems, which include rising rates of gun suicides and opioid overdose deaths. I grew up in rural Appalachia, she says in a video for the college's anti-racist table group.
Starting point is 00:22:57 White people are dying of whiteness, too. The toxicity of whiteness. Many of them were dying prematurely also in their 20s. What does that mean? What does that mean? I have no idea. But she's getting paid an awful lot of money to spout some pretty crazy ideas.
Starting point is 00:23:19 I don't care what money that she's making. I don't either. I do care that she's utilizing her position and platform as a university employee to make that commentary that I don't understand. Yeah. I would like, can you unpack what she's alluding to here for me? but I think she is just saying that the increased number of people in her home area who either through suicide, opioid overdose deaths, she's saying it's because they're white. What?
Starting point is 00:24:05 Talking about white toxicity. Last I checked, suicide impacts people of any skin color. And drug overdoses impact folks of any skin color. How is it tied to whiteness? You're asking the wrong person. It's kind of nuts. I, I, you're asking the wrong person. I, I, I. It's kind of nuts. It seems nuts.
Starting point is 00:24:30 It's kind of racist. It seems nuts. It seems nuts. Brian Haleska walks by the studio right there with the fresh haircut. Holly Foster in Henrico says this. I would be worried about the purchase of Spring Creek if I was a Spring Creek homeowner. Many Kingsmill residents lost many of their amenities
Starting point is 00:24:53 when the current ownership management company took over. What was once included in their dues was discontinued. If they wanted to use the health club, indoor pool, and restaurants, you had to buy yearly social memberships. I grew up in Kingsmill. I can speak to this. In Fairfax Woods is where I grew up.
Starting point is 00:25:12 I will say this. If you were going to use the sports club and the indoor pools and the restaurant, you had to be a member of the club all along, even before the current ownership purchased the club. She does make an accurate point in that some of the amenities were lost once the new owner came in and purchased the club. The new owner tried to maximize profit centers and basically turn everything into a money-making opportunity, I would imagine that could happen in Spring Creek.
Starting point is 00:25:50 No doubt. When an outside-of-market or an outside-of-neighborhood purchaser buys a club, they're looking for every profit center possible. And I would expect in Spring Creek that fees will increase across the board. So if you're a resident that is something to follow closely. In regards to UVA pushing back on its DEI spend, I will close the topic by saying I am all for the University of Virginia becoming
Starting point is 00:26:21 more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. I think the money is best spent by allocating scholarships to further and inspire diversity, equity, and inclusion. I don't think the money is best spent hiring admins and assistants and personnel to drive this potential theme or narrative, especially when some of these folks are spouting out at the mouth and utilizing the UVA platform to basically say the deaths in Appalachia associated with suicide and drug overdose and opiate overdose are associated with the toxicity that comes from being white. Apparently.
Starting point is 00:27:14 It's nuts. It seems like Looney Tunes there. Let's go to the next topic on today's talk show. Before I get to basketball, I want to highlight the generosity of Judah. Yesterday, I gave him a little bit of ribbing, kind-natured ribbing, although Philip Dow came to your defense in the comment section. I came into the studio today after a parent-teacher conference, which I attended, to a Tupperware container full of delicious soup, fornicates with stew, fornicates with chili. I opened the lid of this Judah Wickower Tupperware container, and I catch a whiff of it, and it smells absolutely delicious. While opening the Tupperware container, which I'm holding in my hands right here,
Starting point is 00:28:12 I see enough to feed the Miller family. And this will be on the dinner table this evening. I take a scoop on the talk show right now with a fork from my desk drawer, and I grab some sausage, Looks like some bell peppers, some onions, some kale, some broth. Yeah. Cayenne.
Starting point is 00:28:33 I didn't put a whole lot of... I spiced it up a little bit more the last time I made it. Oh, it's delicious. I didn't want to... I don't know your... I don't know Lauren's how well she takes spicy food so I didn't want to
Starting point is 00:28:50 and if you guys decided to I see an olive in here no this is an olive oh no this is a big sausage I stand corrected and if you guys decided to give some to Trey I didn't want to
Starting point is 00:29:04 make it too spicy so I didn't want to make it too spicy so I didn't actually add any any cayenne or red pepper just it's got the poblano a poblano pepper
Starting point is 00:29:21 which isn't very spicy in itself and is there a synonym for stew A poblano pepper, which isn't very spicy in itself. Is there a synonym for stew or soup or chili that starts with W? The letter W. W? W. Anyone have a synonym for stew, soup, or chili that starts with the letter W? Can someone help us out?
Starting point is 00:29:48 Anything at all? Judah, you're a wordsmith. Can you think of something? This is quite good. I will save some for the family here, but I'm going to have a couple more bites. This is quite good. So I can't take all the credit. There is a wonderful blog called Cricket Hill.
Starting point is 00:30:09 It is owned by the Pritzloffs. Pritzloffs? By who? The Pritzloffs. Oh, I know Johnny. His wife does that work. What's the blog? It's called Cricket Hill. CricketHillVA.com. CricketHillVA.com. Johnny Pritzloff getting some love on today's program his beautiful wife found a delicious glenna yep i found a delicious spicy beef stew recipe
Starting point is 00:30:36 that i added someone let johnny johnny pritzloff and glenna know he's getting his beautiful wife is getting some props oh she's got a pimento cheese recipe on here. Yeah. Crickethillva.com. I saw a lot of stuff on there. Spicy beef stew. Yeah. Similar to, how did you find this website?
Starting point is 00:30:55 I think maybe I saw one of her Facebook stories with some food in it. And I was like, oh, that's interesting. And then I found crickethillva.com, found this recipe, looked interesting, so I gave it a try, added the kale to it and then when I made it this time, I switched out the beef for the Italian sausage. It's good. It's quite good.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I highly recommend it. Did you make it in the instant pot? I did. I had to make some adjustments because her recipe is for a slow cooker. So I had to figure out how to convert it to the instant pot, but
Starting point is 00:31:41 it came out very well. And I highly recommend it with some sour cream and a loaf of bread slathered in butter. Oh, okay. Here we go. Do we have a W word that we can utilize with Wittkauer for some alliteration? I'm struggling to find a W word. I don't know if there is a good W word for stew.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Synonyms for stew, chili, or soup. Let's start with W. I don't have one either. We're going to have to come up with a better brand. What was the brand you came up with? Obviously, we're not going to utilize Judah juice because that has some creepy tendencies.
Starting point is 00:32:27 I think I said spicy sausage stew. Spicy sausage stew is a so-so brand. Despite your It's not humanized, localized, or personalized. I got a fantastic one from the better half. Judah jambalaya. Judah Jambalaya.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Judah Jambalaya? That's a damn good one. It's not bad, but it's not a Jambalaya. That's the front runner so far for Judah Jambalaya. That's not bad. That's the best one we got so far. This is what we specialize in, so I would hope you come up with something, and I come up with something.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Stew, soup, chili. Hmm. All right, you think about that. Wickower's whirl. Wickower's what? Whirl. No, you don't like that one? Eh. Wickower's willy-wa A state of confused activity That's not good I thought you were just making up words No, willy-wa is an actual word Alrighty then So far Judah Jumbo-I is number one This is pretty good
Starting point is 00:33:37 Don't eat it all I'm not going to eat it all I'm going to save some for the family UVA Georgia Tech tomorrow night, 8 o'clock, ACC Network. Many are saying it's a must-win game if Virginia is going to go dancing in March. You lose this game to the Yellow Jackets, and you may not get an NCAA tournament invitation. It's an 8 o'clock tip.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Georgia Tech is 14-16 on the season, 7-12 in conference play. UVA is third currently in the regular season standings. They've got to beat the rambling wreck. Judah Jambalaya is pretty damn good. Let's see what happens with Bennett's boys tomorrow night in a game that the selection committee certainly will watch. From an eye test standpoint,
Starting point is 00:34:29 you've got to close the season strong. And you've got to close it with some zest, some pep, some success. We'll see what they do. All right, some closing thoughts from you, Wickhauer, on a two-shot. I'm really enjoying your stew.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Judah Jambalaya seems to be the frontrunner. Why do you not call it Jambalaya? Because it's too runny? Too fluid-based? No, not necessarily. Jambalaya is just a particular thing. Just like it's not a chili. It's not really a...
Starting point is 00:35:11 This is close to a chili. It's chili stew and soup. What do you mean it's chili stew and soup? It's a chili stew and soup. Albert Gray is welcome to the program. A chili stew and soup. Had a menage a trois. That's what this is. I wouldn't call it a chili, though. Albert Gray's Welcome to the Program. Chili, stew, and soup. Had a menage a trois.
Starting point is 00:35:27 That's what this is. I wouldn't call it a chili, though. Chili usually has beans and more beans, and then some more beans on top of that. Zuppe Judah? That's what Kevin Yancey in Waynesboro says. And he said, what happened to the Vienna sausages and crackers, Judah? Zuppe Judah. What?
Starting point is 00:35:44 He said, what happened to the Vienna sausages and crackers, Judah? What? He said, what happened to the Vienna sausages and crackers, Judah? Ah, some other time. This is, I've worked alongside him for 13 years. And the first time in 13 years, Judah's brought food or a beverage or anything to the office. Thank you. You're welcome. I was overwhelmed with your kindness and generosity today. I'm glad you like it.
Starting point is 00:36:16 I was pleasantly surprised, my friend. I hope Lauren likes it too. What's that? I hope Lauren likes it as well. I think she will. I think she absolutely will. My closing thought, are we going to, are the car washes... Oh, you saw that on Reddit as well? Yeah. Are they trying to outdo the vape stores.
Starting point is 00:36:48 This was in relation to the Tiger car wash on Pantops. I'm excited for the Tiger wash opening on Pantops. I think the Suttons do it right. I have no doubt. I have no problem with them. It just seems, you know, we've seen an explosion of both vape shops and car washes. Soon, one on every corner. Well, I mean, there's a reason.
Starting point is 00:37:11 You know why? They make money. Yeah. How about the storage units? Yeah, those two. There's storage units, storage units, vape shops, and car washes. They make money
Starting point is 00:37:25 the tiger washes across the street from another car wash basically yeah and I believe they're low low cost oh it's going to be a pricing battle a commodities battle there on the base of Pantops Mountain
Starting point is 00:37:41 could be tiger wash has got economies of scale. Yeah. In that they're local, they have the Tiger brand, they have the membership and loyalty club associated with their app. When you go to a place like Bel Air and you fill up, you use the app for gas purchases or to collect rewards associated with free sandwiches, 25, 50 cents off gallons of gas.
Starting point is 00:38:06 They're going to weave the car washes into that app to try to get a market advantage. I'm continuing to eat Judah Jambalaya here. There's not going to be any left. Sorry, Lauren. No, no. There won't be some left. There just won't be any sausage left. I'm not just eating the sausage from Judah Jambalaya.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Thank you for this. I have noticed the prolific nature of car wash birthing in the community as well. All right, that's the Friday edition of the I Love Seville show.
