Speaker 3: We went. I went first class, of course.
Speaker 2: The uh the groom, I mean the bride's parents pay
Speaker 2: for the wedding, which I did.
Speaker 3: And if you're going to have a wedding.
Speaker 2: You I might as well go balls to the wall.
Speaker 2: So the food was insane. The appetites were absolutely crazy,
Speaker 2: and then the dessert, and then I even not only
Speaker 2: is an open bar, I paid for parking. You know,
Speaker 2: everybody was stamped, they were validated, so it was across
Speaker 2: the board and me paying for it. And I parked
Speaker 2: outside outside the restaurant. This was Anaheim white House. And
Speaker 2: I'm let me tell you, if you want an.
Speaker 3: Event, this is where you want to do it. The
Speaker 3: Anaheim white.
Speaker 5: House is a beautiful Oh.
Speaker 3: They do such a gorgeous job. It's insanity.
Speaker 2: Bruno and Silvano who runs the place with Bruno his nephew,
Speaker 2: I mean, just crazy, wonderful. I mean, there's no place better.
Speaker 2: And so on the way out, I you know, part
Speaker 2: of it was paying for parking, and that was, you know,
Speaker 2: part of the bill. On the way out, as I'm
Speaker 2: going to the street from my car, one of the
Speaker 2: people there, one of the servers, said.
Speaker 3: You know where you park and I have your stick
Speaker 3: or swiken validate it.

Speaker 6: Now, I think your speech of like, hey, I paid
Speaker 6: for this, all right, I'm done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't drink too much, and don't forget.
Speaker 2: I turned to Pamela, Barbara's sister, who was maid of honor,
Speaker 2: and I said, Pamela, I hope you're enjoying.
Speaker 3: This too, because this is for both of you. Just
Speaker 3: it's a two fer. It was all right, guys, let's
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 2: It's time for Handle on the news with Amy Neil
Speaker 2: and me lead story.
Speaker 3: It's the fun. Yeah, it's all about the election tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Last day pushes. I don't know if I've ever well,
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: I have seen candidates work this hard through the last day.
Speaker 2: One thing I'm going to give Donald Trump for a
Speaker 2: seventy eight year old guy, he is indefatigable.
Speaker 3: If I have that word correctly, I mean this guy,
Speaker 3: a fifty year old guy. He's yeah, no, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2: I expect I expect Kamala Harris to do what she
Speaker 2: does she's sixty years old or fifty nine. But when
Speaker 2: it comes to someone seventy eight, When I hit seventy eight,
Speaker 2: am I gonna work that hard? How many people work
Speaker 2: that hard? I mean, the guy's insane and his story
Speaker 2: after he puts these twenty year olds to shame.
Speaker 3: What people that work for him. They can't believe how
Speaker 3: hard he works.
Speaker 6: Kamala is running around in chucks, but he's doing it
Speaker 6: in and loafers.
Speaker 5: It's really tough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, all right, fine.
Speaker 6: I'm really excited. It's a little commercial for me this year.
Speaker 6: I got the tree, I got my election tree, and
Speaker 6: I did some shopping. But I gotta tell you, in
Speaker 6: the past, I felt the spirit of the election, and
Speaker 6: now it just seems like it's so commercial it's hard
Speaker 6: to care.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna yeah, I don't know. It depends who wins.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 6: It's like, are we gonna save taxes? Are we not
Speaker 6: going to say tax I don't know.
Speaker 2: There's a story I want to do at seven thirty
Speaker 2: about the Proud Boys who have sort of kind of regroup.
Speaker 2: Not really, but it's it's a fun story because now
Speaker 2: it's all pre election stuff, and I'm going to try
Speaker 2: to find ways in which we haven't talked about it before. Alright,
Speaker 2: let's do uh one more before we take our break.
Speaker 7: NBC has some splaning to do, so NBC News aired
Speaker 7: a short video message of former President Trump last night,
Speaker 7: apparently to provide the leading presidential candidates with equal airtime
Speaker 7: after Vice President Harris showed up for an unexpected visit
Speaker 7: on Saturday Night Live. So apparently she was on her
Speaker 7: way to Michigan and then said hey, let's go back
Speaker 7: to New York City and then boom, she was there
Speaker 7: on Saturday Night Live. Cute, right, except that it violates
Speaker 7: equal time laws for candidates apparently, and even Lauren Michaels
Speaker 7: a month ago said, yeah, we're not going to have
Speaker 7: any of the candidates on because it just kind of
Speaker 7: opens up this can of worms.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does a couple of things.
Speaker 2: First of all, those that are saying it really wasn't
Speaker 2: political for Kamala Harris because it was sort of a
Speaker 2: joke and it was a kind of humor, hold on.
Speaker 2: And then that may be true, but that doesn't doesn't
Speaker 2: mean that you don't have a presidential candidate on national
Speaker 2: television showing.
Speaker 4: Her face and talking about the election.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the election.
Speaker 4: No, she was talking about the election.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the last but Saturday way, I would think
Speaker 2: that's and so the argument is going to be that
Speaker 2: it wasn't particularly political, not that it matters at all,
Speaker 2: but the FCC requires equal time, and you know, I
Speaker 2: didn't even I haven't even heard about equal time in
Speaker 2: a very long time, because whenever we have candidates on politicians,
Speaker 2: I think as a matter of course, we always ask
Speaker 2: the other side. I will never have anybody on who
Speaker 2: I will not ask the other side on. But I
Speaker 2: don't know if that was still around and how it's
Speaker 2: been enforced. I can't remember when it was enforced this time,
Speaker 2: and this this election, I think is so close and
Speaker 2: so serious, is that at NBC should have and did,
Speaker 2: And it was a blatant and clear effort at first
Speaker 2: to evade the equal time role. And so I believe
Speaker 2: that Trump did get his time right. One of his
Speaker 2: political ads were run.
Speaker 7: Well, apparently it showed up during a NASCAR race towards
Speaker 7: the end of the broadcast.
Speaker 4: But they can't they can't offer.
Speaker 7: Equal time because there's not another Saturday Night Live before
Speaker 7: the election.
Speaker 2: And the other argument, I'd say giving them Nascar, giving
Speaker 2: Trump Nascar time is a waste of is a waste
Speaker 2: of time because that's already his crowd.
Speaker 3: The trick is to turn the other crowd, right, what
Speaker 3: are you gonna do, Nascar?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna run it at a Trump rally. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's Equel Tomes.
Speaker 6: It was crappy and for whatever reason, they are incredibly
Speaker 6: afraid because every single I don't care if you are
Speaker 6: a D list actor, it's you know, they're pushing it.
Speaker 5: All right. So more coming out of the Middle East.
Speaker 6: Israeli police have arrested a top aid to Prime Minister
Speaker 6: Benjamin NETANYAHUO. And this is all over the alleged leaking
Speaker 6: of classified information to foreign media. So this investigation centers
Speaker 6: on the allegations that the Prime Minister's office promoted a
Speaker 6: foreign promoted to foreign media, the claim that Hamas was
Speaker 6: planning on smuggling hostages out of Gaza somewhere around over
Speaker 6: the Egyptian border there, and this created divisions and is
Speaker 6: really causing problems with the ceasefire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's there's an argument that Naha, who's doing everything
Speaker 2: to not effect a ceasefire, which I believe he is
Speaker 2: promulgating and in fact extending the war.
Speaker 3: I believe that also Hamas they're doing that too. I mean,
Speaker 3: both these sides are completely crazy.
Speaker 2: And he is Nasao who is awaiting trial as soon
Speaker 2: as he leaves the leaves the Prime Ministership of Israel.
Speaker 2: He is under indictment for fraud up and down the street,
Speaker 2: and you think they'll get him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah too. It's when he leaves they're going
Speaker 3: for it. Sure.
Speaker 2: They just can't do anything with a sitting prime minister,
Speaker 2: much like you can't do anything with a sitting president.
Speaker 3: You have to wait until it's all over. And that's
Speaker 3: what's happening.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, I think that who's doing everything to make
Speaker 2: sure this thing extends.
Speaker 3: I think that who is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't put the country first, at least I
Speaker 2: don't think so. I believe it puts his own personal beliefs,
Speaker 2: in his own personal survival first.
Speaker 6: And it's you don't think in his mind that is
Speaker 6: for the greater good of the country.
Speaker 3: I guess it is.
Speaker 2: Let me, let me do this for those people that
Speaker 2: are opposed to Trump. Right, do you think that as
Speaker 2: possible that Trump believes he is there for the greater good?
Speaker 3: Or do you think he is so cynical?
Speaker 2: No, I'm just an ass and I'm I just want
Speaker 2: to do it so I can fly on Air Force
Speaker 2: one and slum. No.
Speaker 5: No, I think he's an interesting That's an interesting point.
Speaker 6: Actually, I dar to believe sometimes that he cares about
Speaker 6: the country more than he cares about himself.
Speaker 5: I get that.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: No, that's not to say, well, let me put it
Speaker 2: this way. Well let's go on, because you know how
Speaker 2: I feel about this. But I'm just saying it can
Speaker 2: be argued that he cares more, most more about the
Speaker 2: country than himself. And I'll tell you, certainly his followers
Speaker 2: believe that one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: His followers belief that's the case. All Right, moving on.
Speaker 7: Had some saber radling going on by Iran's supreme leader,
Speaker 7: the Ayatole Kampmani said that Israel and the US will
Speaker 7: face a crushing response to attacks on Iran and its allies.
Speaker 7: Rainian officials increasingly threatening to launch another strike against Israel
Speaker 7: after Israel launched its retaliatory attack on Iran, targeting military
Speaker 7: bases and other locations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this gets to be interesting because at first,
Speaker 2: after the Israeli attack on Iran, following Iran's attack on Israel,
Speaker 2: it is the first time these countries directly attacked each other.
Speaker 2: Everybody calling down Israel said, okay, we're done. You know,
Speaker 2: even the initial attack was one day finished against Israel.
Speaker 3: Didn't go on. Israel retaliates one day.
Speaker 2: Boom finished, and everybody thought it was over. There was
Speaker 2: even hints. Now Humani says, we are going to give
Speaker 2: a crushing response to what Israel did, and he also
Speaker 2: mentioned the United States. Now is he what are they
Speaker 2: going to do? What is Iran going to do? Attack
Speaker 2: US bases? Kill US airmen and service members. You know
Speaker 2: how many task forces I don't know how many carrier
Speaker 2: task forces are now in the Persian Gulf, at least one,
Speaker 2: maybe two. Yeah, you think is Iran that crazy? Well,
Speaker 2: Jamas certainly was, and Kazbola certainly was. And look what's
Speaker 2: happening there is Iran prepared to go to war with
Speaker 2: the United States by attacking US facilities.
Speaker 3: And we're not even talking through.
Speaker 2: Their proxies, the Huthis and chrisbo Law and those other
Speaker 2: terrorist organizations that are funded and led by Iron They're
Speaker 2: talking a direct response of going crazy. Tell you one thing,
Speaker 2: these people do not want Trump to win. Trump would
Speaker 2: take out if Ron were to even try that, I
Speaker 2: don't think you would see much in the way of negotiations. Boom,
Speaker 2: It's over, which I happen to think is a great idea,
Speaker 2: But then that's me. I'm sorry, Neil, you're going to say.
Speaker 6: No no, No, I'm just I thought we were moving on.
Speaker 6: Oh we are, all right. So you talk about Michael Jackson,
Speaker 6: you talk about Ray, Charles, Frank Sinatra, and one person
Speaker 6: that worked with all of them, Quincy Jones, hit making producer,
Speaker 6: longtime powerhouse in the music industry.
Speaker 5: No one would deny that he died Sunday. He was
Speaker 5: ninety one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what a guy he was.
Speaker 2: Man, If you look at his credentials, insane, just insane.
Speaker 4: Dating back to like the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, he was just and what a musician was
Speaker 2: in addition to producing and writing and arranging and all that.
Speaker 2: If you heard some of his original jazz recordings, he
Speaker 2: was unbelievable.
Speaker 7: Our vaccines on the table if Trump wins. Former President
Speaker 7: Trump said Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who is now endorsing Trump,
Speaker 7: would have a big role in the administration if he wins.
Speaker 7: On Tuesday, he had a phone interview with NBC News.
Speaker 7: He says he's open to some of RFK Junior's more
Speaker 7: controversial ideas now. He was asked whether banning certain vaccines
Speaker 7: would be an option during a second term, and Trump said,
Speaker 7: I'm going to talk to Kennedy and talk to other people,
Speaker 7: I'll make the decision. But he's a very talented guy
Speaker 7: and has strong views, so he basically didn't say one right.
Speaker 3: Say one way or the other. But you know it's
Speaker 3: a political move.
Speaker 2: Trump wants a RFK FiOS and he's uh going to
Speaker 2: say here you go?
Speaker 3: Now is he actually going to do it?
Speaker 2: I think even some of his staunchest advisors Trump said
Speaker 2: is would say, you know what, you really don't want
Speaker 2: to do this, for example, removing fluoride from the water systems,
Speaker 2: drinking water systems out Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 5: Remember being saying that for years.
Speaker 2: I remember as a kid before they in fact here
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, before they did put fluoride into the
Speaker 2: drinking water.
Speaker 3: Uh, it was an uproar.
Speaker 2: The Communists are putting fluoride in though too destroyed. Literally
Speaker 2: it was back in the fifties the Communists were going
Speaker 2: to put in fluoride and it was a huge fight
Speaker 2: to put in fluoride. I mean, I don't know why
Speaker 2: the communists didn't fight. How dare they put water into
Speaker 2: the water system because that's a communist plot.
Speaker 3: I mean it's insane, And is he going back to
Speaker 3: those days?
Speaker 2: So I think this is Trump's saying this about RFK.
Speaker 3: Is simply a political move. And then I hope and
Speaker 3: I think it would happen.
Speaker 2: RFK disappears after that, or he's given some commission to
Speaker 2: study it, and then it's going to disappear, all right.
Speaker 6: So more about the possible cabinet. If Donald Trump wins again,
Speaker 6: thirty three trillion dollars in debt would be put on
Speaker 6: someone to cut. Elon Musk might be that someone. He
Speaker 6: warns hardships for Americans if Trump puts him in charge
Speaker 6: of cutting that thirty three trillion dollar debt, and he
Speaker 6: paints a very clear picture what he says is ahead.
Speaker 6: If Donald Trump appoints him to lead government efficiency efforts,
Speaker 6: he says it'll be temporary hardship. But uh, and the haircut,
Speaker 6: but he says he's looking for a path to long
Speaker 6: term prosperity.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: As nuts as he is, and Elon Muk's Musk is crazy,
Speaker 2: he's the only one that's talking reality in this entire campaign,
Speaker 2: right and by the way, the only thing he is
Speaker 2: dead wrong on it will be temporary. It is going
Speaker 2: to be massive. Do you know Republicans used to be
Speaker 2: deficit hawks. We can't spend more money than we have.
Speaker 2: I mean, the Democrats, you have to give them. They're
Speaker 2: going to spend money like crazy. They don't care how
Speaker 2: much you borrow, always have, you know, let's just borrow, borrow, borrow, borrow.
Speaker 2: Let's spend, spend, spend and governmental programs. Okay, fine, so
Speaker 2: we know where they are. Republicans have moved over from Gee,
Speaker 2: we can't spend more money. We have to unmitigated spenders
Speaker 2: like the Democrats. Trump and Kamala Harris are running to
Speaker 2: see who wins the let's spend money till we are
Speaker 2: completely broke race and their neck and neck thirty three
Speaker 2: trillion dollars in national debt. We can't even get our
Speaker 2: deficit annual deficit under a trillion dollars a year. So
Speaker 2: this will never happen because neither side will actually rein
Speaker 2: in the spending. You know, there's only been twice in
Speaker 2: the modern era where the budget has been actually has
Speaker 2: been balanced. Here's a government yeah once during places, once
Speaker 2: during the Eisenhower years.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the government two hundred year, one hundred fifty
Speaker 2: years ago. We used to actually spend the money we
Speaker 2: had the budget was balanced.
Speaker 7: Okay, fallons get to weigh in in person sort of.
Speaker 7: As a group of LA County inmates submitted their ballots,
Speaker 7: there was a round of applause yesterday. For some it
Speaker 7: was their first time to vote. So normally, eligible voters
Speaker 7: who are in jail can only pass cast their ballots
Speaker 7: through vote by mail, but they changed that in twenty
Speaker 7: twenty with a new voting and model and system and
Speaker 7: expanded voting access to include in person voting in jails.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a problem with it because when they
Speaker 2: were waiting in line to vote, they got a little
Speaker 2: bit too close to each other and so.
Speaker 6: There was accidental rapings. Is that what you're implying That.
Speaker 2: Maybe not so accidental, But you know, now they just
Speaker 2: keep them fairly apart when they great.
Speaker 4: I thought you lost your right to vote when you.
Speaker 2: If you're in prison, if you're in prison as a felon,
Speaker 2: if you've been in California, all the rules are different.
Speaker 2: But if you are in if you're a convicted felon
Speaker 2: and you are out, you can vote.
Speaker 3: If you are in prison, you can't.
Speaker 4: But these guys just did there.
Speaker 5: Yeah they're in prison.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they could be underd there for a misdemeanor
Speaker 2: oh okay, yeah, misdemeanors.
Speaker 3: You have the rights to vote.
Speaker 4: Come hell or high water, gotcha, okay.
Speaker 5: Okay uh.
Speaker 6: Spain's flood survivors are are ticked off rightly, so some
Speaker 6: say they tossed mud, they shouted insults.
Speaker 5: This was like this is like an old movie, old.
Speaker 6: Time where the King and Qui come by in the
Speaker 6: carriage and the townspeople throw crap at him. Because now
Speaker 6: you have the Spanish royal couple touring the flood flooding
Speaker 6: area on Sunday first visit to the center of the
Speaker 6: nation's deadliest natural disaster in living memory, and survivors were
Speaker 6: hurling mud at them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they were pissed off that the government didn't
Speaker 2: do enough to help those that were victims of that flood.
Speaker 3: It's a once in a thousand.
Speaker 2: Year flood in which a year's worth of rain came
Speaker 2: down in eight hours and they didn't well, you weren't
Speaker 2: able to help us very much. Come on, really, there's
Speaker 2: some mudding.
Speaker 3: Yeay, yeah, at what point? You know, what point is
Speaker 3: that you haven't done enough?
Speaker 2: Did you see the video of those those cars going
Speaker 2: down the newly formed rivers.
Speaker 3: Like toys that were bobbing. Uh, it was crazy. Do
Speaker 3: even we wouldn't even know how many people were killed.
Speaker 3: We know it's in the hundreds. Amy, Do we have
Speaker 3: a figure yet as to how many?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's at least two hundred and five right now.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 7: And actually that number, if I'm remembering correctly, is from Friday,
Speaker 7: so it may have gone up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I know hundreds are still missing.
Speaker 7: Well, this guy literally fell for the Dodgers. A man
Speaker 7: was severely injured. Well wait till you hear he fell
Speaker 7: from the third floor of a building during the Dodgers
Speaker 7: parade through downtown LA on Friday. Happened about one thirty
Speaker 7: at eighth the Flower Streets. So he's up there to
Speaker 7: celebrate what right, celebrating the boys in Blue? Well maybe,
Speaker 7: But then someone who saw the man after he fell
Speaker 7: said she noticed a young boy shouting and heard the
Speaker 7: boy screaming, that's my dad.
Speaker 4: Don't get near him.
Speaker 7: And then the LAPD said that the man was engaged
Speaker 7: in graffiti related activity and was tagging.
Speaker 2: Stuff tagging up at that fell what thirty feet Now,
Speaker 2: it depends on what he fell on. If he fell
Speaker 2: on concrete, that becomes problematic. But he's still around we
Speaker 2: just don't know what his injuries.
Speaker 5: Are or one.
Speaker 6: Okay, so come next year, you're gonna be allowed to
Speaker 6: save just a bit more about five hundred dollars or
Speaker 6: so on.
Speaker 5: Your text deferred for a one K. So it's not
Speaker 5: a whole lot.
Speaker 3: No, it's not.
Speaker 6: It just changed its five hundred dollars and they kept
Speaker 6: the fifty and older.
Speaker 5: You know that contribution.
Speaker 3: You can rev up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can turbo your Yeah, I do that. I
Speaker 5: do that, and uh that stays.
Speaker 6: It's seventy five hundred dollars, will be okay.
Speaker 4: Amy, Yeah, I'm waiting for to turn my mic up.
Speaker 3: Oh he was.
Speaker 4: He was busy having a pop tart?
Speaker 3: Yeah, a pop tart like a what flavor?
Speaker 5: Like a ferret?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Bugs the hell out of me. I'll get him.
Speaker 2: What flavor is that little strawberry that with a strawberry
Speaker 2: like the almost kind of strawberry flavor, No real strawberries
Speaker 2: in it, strawberry pop tart.
Speaker 3: The only one worth the dam was the brown sugar one.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 7: RFK might ban that strawberry flavor if he gets into
Speaker 7: Trump's administration. He's not even in the administration yet, and
Speaker 7: a regional health pub Department in Idaho is no longer
Speaker 7: providing COVID nineteen vaccines to residents in six counties. There
Speaker 7: was a vote by the Health Board. The decision was
Speaker 7: four to three. The district is along the Oregon Idaho border,
Speaker 7: includes three counties in the Boise metropolitan area. Idaho has
Speaker 7: the highest childhood vaccination exemption rate in the nation and
Speaker 7: now they're not going to offer COVID nineteen vaccine.
Speaker 2: Now, this is the fun story part of it here
Speaker 2: is that public hearings have to be had before the
Speaker 2: Health Board can make that decision. And there were two
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety public comments were brought forward saying we
Speaker 2: must end vaccine mandates.
Speaker 3: We don't have a mandate. We must end all vaccine mandates.
Speaker 2: We don't have a mandate. There is no mandate here.
Speaker 2: This is just making tests available. Next person up, We
Speaker 2: must end vaccine mandates.
Speaker 3: Two hundred and ninety of these. We don't have a mandate. No,
Speaker 3: there is no mandate. People are nuts.
Speaker 2: Mandates don't even exist anymore any place. And they were
Speaker 2: and I was wrong about those, by the way, with
Speaker 2: the school kids, and.
Speaker 3: Then all the mandating.
Speaker 2: I pushed hard, hard, hard for it, and I think
Speaker 2: the mandated vaccines hurt a lot in terms of our
Speaker 2: education and the segregation of the kids outside of the
Speaker 2: system learning at home.
Speaker 3: Way too. It went on way too long.
Speaker 5: I thought you did a lot of mandating in college.
Speaker 3: Wow. Hell, very strong, very strong, all right.
Speaker 6: TGI Fridays American casual dining chain filed for chapter eleven
Speaker 6: and they said, the vast majority of this really goes
Speaker 6: to the COVID nineteen pandemic. It was the primary driver
Speaker 6: of their financial challenges. No crap I said it from
Speaker 6: the beginning, and I will say it again that it
Speaker 6: was stupid that they shut everything down and did what
Speaker 6: they did to small businesses and now large business.
Speaker 2: Yeah, American casual dining well in the old you know,
Speaker 2: we should talk about this maybe on Friday, Foody Friday,
Speaker 2: because there is I mean, you have better grasp with
Speaker 2: this than most people. What's going on with casual dining
Speaker 2: in general in this country? Matter of fact, let me
Speaker 2: ask you right now, what's going on with casual dining
Speaker 2: in general in this country?
Speaker 6: Wait, families don't families don't have a core unit the
Speaker 6: way they used to, so they're not going out and really,
Speaker 6: these places, if you walk into them. They're massive. They
Speaker 6: can only exist if large amounts of people are going
Speaker 6: out at a time. So you're talking about four or
Speaker 6: more people going out to dine for one, and you know,
Speaker 6: there are a misunderstood and an unappreciated part of our
Speaker 6: culinary you know, ecosystem. And it's unfortunate because it's not
Speaker 6: easy to keep that kind of consistent consistency and price down,
Speaker 6: prices down, and so they're going to become a thing
Speaker 6: of the past unless we, you know, go and utilize
Speaker 6: them for happy hours and go and you know, after
Speaker 6: work parties and like.
Speaker 5: So that's what's happening.
