WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.439 on the iHeartRadio Ane. President Biden and First Lady Jill 4 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:14.080 Biden will attend Trump's inauguration. President promised to attend the 5 00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:16.839 inauguration no matter who won the election, and the Bidens 6 00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.399 are going to honor that promise, the Biden says. The 7 00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:22.800 spokesperson says Biden, Sy's going to the inauguration as an 8 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.879 important demonstration of commitment to our democratic values into honoring 9 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.120 the will of the people as we continue to provide 10 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.119 an orderly and effective transition. He did not write that 11 00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:33.520 who was running the country. 12 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:39.000 We did see some rain through northern California yesterday. It's 13 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.560 made its way sort of through central California. Anywhere north 14 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.719 of the grape Vine up to about Fresno has seen 15 00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.079 rain today. And to give you an idea of how 16 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.960 much rain fell during the atmospheric river event from the 17 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:54.399 last weekend level at Lake Sonoma, it's not very big, 18 00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:56.880 but it's the levels at Lake Sonoma went up twelve 19 00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:03.880 feet wow in one storm. Santa Rosa saw twelve inches 20 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.439 of rain over the last three days. They said the 21 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:09.560 store mushered a tremendous amount of rain into the state 22 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:13.599 early last week, caused him widespread flooding, wide spread flooding, 23 00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:14.719 and even a couple of deaths. 24 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.439 Alex Jones will get to keep his conspiracy theory website 25 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:20.599 for now. His lawyers were in court this week trying 26 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.120 to block the sale of info Wars, which was auctioned 27 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.159 off as part of that billion dollar defamation lawsuit. Of course, 28 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.319 we reported to you the winning bid came from the 29 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.359 satirical website The Onion. 30 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:32.480 Onion. 31 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.079 Bankruptcy judge in Houston said he will not approve or 32 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.280 reject the sale until a hearing in December. 33 00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:44.719 Well, Gavin Newsom is acting like a weird, spoiled child. 34 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.319 It's not just Gavin Newsom, it's Democrats as a whole. 35 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.280 They were the ones who lauded the electric vehicle movement. 36 00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.040 They are the clean energy people, they are the clean environment, 37 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.519 save the planet people, and yet. 38 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.359 They will not use the T word. 39 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.879 They will not say Tesla the most successful electric car 40 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.040 in the country. They completely ignore just because they're small. Like, 41 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.719 if you're really into that, if you're really into electric 42 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.879 vehicles being the future, why wouldn't you embrace this despite 43 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:11.840 not liking the guy. 44 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:12.560 You can't. 45 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:20.000 You cannot argue how Elon Musk and Tesla changed the 46 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:21.479 electric vehicle market. 47 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:23.639 It's it's inarguable. 48 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.840 It's I mean, it's evidence by when you drive to 49 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.680 work every day, every other car is a Tesla. I 50 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.400 mean in southern California, much more so than anywhere else 51 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.879 in the country. Probably every car that you see is 52 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.280 a Tesla. And you know, you'll see five of them 53 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.840 in a row. You'll see one, you know, two or 54 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.879 three that look exactly alike. You cannot argue in some neighborhood, 55 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.000 specifically Orange County, a lot. There's a lot of Tesla's 56 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:47.479 out there. 57 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:47.840 Now. 58 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.000 What Gavin Newsom is talking about is positioning a plan 59 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.639 that would that would specifically flip the middle finger to Tesla. 60 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:03.039 He says he wants to continue the seventy five hundred 61 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:10.400 dollars EV rebate if Trump would repeal that federal subsidy, 62 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.080 I don't know if there are plans to do so. 63 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.360 I don't know if he's even suggested that he would 64 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:18.360 do so. This is another one of Gavin Newsom's assumptions 65 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:25.400 and in order to position himself as the Trump proofer. 66 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.960 So this proposal where Tesla comes in, includes some market 67 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.840 share limitations that would leave out Tesla models. The Governor's 68 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.520 office says the policy is designed so more car makers 69 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.599 can take root. Well, you know what, it's not the 70 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.000 governor's decision that would go to the courts about any 71 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.439 sort of monopoly rules. Right, you don't get to even 72 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.000 out the playing field in terms of what products get 73 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:50.479 to rise to popularity. 74 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:51.919 It's what people want. 75 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.719 In terms of the share, they say, Tesla makes up 76 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.120 almost fifty five percent of all EV's registered in the 77 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.960 state during the first records of this year. 78 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:01.560 That's down. 79 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.199 That's actually down a bit from sixty three percent during 80 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.560 the same period last year. Hyundai is in a distant second, 81 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.680 although I've been seeing a lot more of those lately. 82 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.639 They're at about a five point six percent share. Wait 83 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:16.000 a minute, there's one thing to remember about Tesla versus 84 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:21.800 Hyundai or Toyota or Rivian or anybody else. Tesla makes 85 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:25.839 its cars in California. Nobody else, not exclusive, right, they 86 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.480 make them and some in China, they make some in 87 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.560 your But Tesla makes its. 88 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.120 Cars here, the only electric vehicle company. 89 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.160 Why would you continue to flip off a massive employer 90 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:37.199 like Tesla. 91 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.000 Well, it's like pissing away the money for the low 92 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.240 speed rail just to spite the federal government. Right, That's 93 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.000 that's why I say he's such a small man. I mean, 94 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.000 I do want to hear from Democrats in terms of 95 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:51.720 does this turn you on? 96 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:52.600 You like it? 97 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.639 Just because Musk is getting closer to Trump that Gavin 98 00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:01.240 Newsom gives him the middle finger. Electric vehicle companies be damned. 99 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:03.319 I e Tesla. 100 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.079 Because I mean, I mean, you've got an f you 101 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.720 to Trump in one hand and cleaning up the air 102 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:09.439 in the other hand. 103 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.120 What do you value more? Is it the f you 104 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:12.639 to Trump? 105 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.560 Fine, I want to know that, yeah, Or is it 106 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.439 the turning California into a more electric vehicle state. 107 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.399 Well, and if the only reason why you would deliver 108 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:31.000 that carve out or the limits the market market percentage 109 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.399 limit on that is because you wanted to anger Tesla, 110 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.920 you wanted to exclude Tesla, which then once you get 111 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:41.399 into this idea of Tesla's being you know, the price 112 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.399 is coming down if they ever do, or Tesla introducing 113 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.519 a more reasonably priced electric vehicle that other people could buy, 114 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.439 then without that tax credit, people are going to go. 115 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:53.279 You know what, I don't need to deal with this. 116 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.800 I'm just going to go get my regular gas car. Yeah, 117 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.680 and that goes against what I guess should be the 118 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.480 OULDT A goal of these these subsidies, which is to 119 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.120 encourage people to drive electric vehicles. But if you're going 120 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.399 to take that away or specifically carve out which ones 121 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.759 they can and can't buy, Gavin Newsome being arrogant about 122 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.879 this just because he disagrees with Elon Musk, it's just juvenile. 123 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.199 Yeah, it's it's especially when it. 124 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.000 Flies in the face of what you're trying to do. 125 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.600 If it really is climate change and cleaning up the environment. 126 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.399 If you're that guy, then you should laud all electric. 127 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.480 Vehicles and stop, you know, stop with the discussion of 128 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.399 well we're going to charge people by miles now as 129 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.199 opposed to having the gas tax because people who drive 130 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.839 electric vehicles don't pay the gas tag. If you, China, 131 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.279 I did what you told me to, right, what you 132 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.000 wanted me to, stop penalizing me. 133 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.519 Yeah. Stop. 134 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.560 It just said to the governor that's okay, did it 135 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.800 feel good? I mean, it's just let's just strip away 136 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:55.519 that title. I mean, I know that you're old fashioned. 137 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.360 You like to have respect for people in power or 138 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.279 when they're not children, when they're not children. You know, 139 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.680 as we get older, that kind of goes by the wayside. 140 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:06.839 Because more and more people are children. 141 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.519 A quarter of Americans are still carrying weight they gained 142 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:11.199 last year. 143 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:13.920 Yeah, survey, that's how it. 144 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.720 Americans revealed the twenty four percent still carrying the weight 145 00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:19.879 they gained at the end of twenty twenty three. 146 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.120 It's hard to ditch ten pounds. It's very hard to 147 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:23.759 ditch weight. 148 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.199 And they're expecting to gain even more weight as we 149 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.879 get the end of twenty four. Respondents to the survey 150 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.319 of two thousand people said that they will gain about 151 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.519 six pounds between now and January. 152 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:41.800 First, you're looking a little slim easy, are you the cardio? 153 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.199 No no, I thought you were supposed to be getting 154 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:47.519 in shape for a fantasy camp. 155 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.040 I am, but I so you well in that case, yes, 156 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:54.439 But I've just I've decided that I need to eat 157 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.000 less food. I don't eat less often, I don't eat 158 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.639 one meal a day. I just eat generally less food. 159 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:03.040 That's probably good for me. 160 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:03.680 I like that. 161 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.759 You're not looking at the bag of corn chips, nor 162 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:08.240 the bag of lays that I have out here, and 163 00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:09.439 I'll have you know that. 164 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:10.839 These are just snacks. 165 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.680 These are from the game, and I didn't want to 166 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:18.920 waste them, and so they're open and I ate half 167 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:20.639 of each, and so I didn't want to waste them. 168 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.079 So I thought I'd bring them in and and just 169 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:24.600 eat them. 170 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:27.199 And just let their smell emanate throughout the studio so 171 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.399 that it makes us hungry. 172 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:29.639 Is that what you wanted to do? 173 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:33.279 Yeah, but you know how we don't like to waste. 174 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:35.960 Yes, I do know how we don't like it. 175 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.039 You know what I have that I have that weird 176 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.320 food and security thing that you're talking about of eating 177 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.919 less food, where if I'm hungry, I feel like I 178 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:47.679 need to eat like a big thing, right, But it's 179 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.600 actually just eat a little thing and then it probably 180 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:51.360 goes away. 181 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:57.320 Eat as water. Yeah, and then wait the wait. Yeah, wait, 182 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:02.200 nobody likes to wait. It's because we're yeah, food insecurity. 183 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.080 We're afraid it's gonna go We're afraid it's. 184 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.600 Going to go away. It's in our DNA. Okay. 185 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:09.559 Well, we've talked about a lot of people that have 186 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.039 taken off out of California to find some lower cost 187 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:17.200 areas to live in, but a new report reveals California 188 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.879 is still seeing some of the highest migration rates across 189 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.919 the country. It was the second most popular state for 190 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.399 Americans to move to this year. 191 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:31.759 I think there's something missing in this report, or I 192 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.200 would like to see an addendum to this report, because 193 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.039 there's something that's pointed out here pretty quickly. 194 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:37.000 I think is pretty fun. 195 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.480 But it says that the high frequency of moves to 196 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:45.000 California recorded could be surprising because the previous report showed 197 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.399 that California move ins declined by eleven percent since twenty 198 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.679 twenty two, and since twenty fourteen, California has seen seven 199 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:57.919 hundred thousand adults leave the state, most of them saying 200 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:02.200 the cost of housing was the primary reason. Many people 201 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.120 move into or back to California to be close to 202 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.720 friends and family. Still, people are more likely to move 203 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.399 to the South than they are to the West coast. 204 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.240 The top states include Texas and Florida, making up between 205 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:19.320 ten and seven percent of all moves nationally. Forty six 206 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.720 percent of surveyed realtor's clients moved to the South, twenty 207 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.360 five percent moved to the west. There's a funny quote 208 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.240 from a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee 209 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:34.519 at Martin, alex Bean. He said, it's fascinating that for 210 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:36.919 all the grief California's taken in terms of higher cost 211 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.919 of living, more regulations, increased, to media coverage of crime, 212 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.320 it remains one of the most desired states for people 213 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:43.559 to move to in the United States. 214 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:44.480 And this is the quote. 215 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:51.399 When it comes to California, aspirations often override logic, especially 216 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.080 for those in a younger age demographic. Yes, it seems 217 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.759 like that's the history of California for two hundred years. 218 00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:57.720 I'm going to move to La. 219 00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.840 I'm going to be famous, right, It just went for 220 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.399 I'm Hollywood to YouTube. 221 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.960 You end up you know, you end up bail and 222 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.080 Hay somewhere, and you thought you were going to be, 223 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.279 you know, the next big paramount picture star. 224 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.840 They also say that Californians who flock to other states 225 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.519 with remote work flexibility are showing signs of returning. Is 226 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.519 that because businesses in California are saying, Hey, these zoom 227 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:23.519 calls all day are not going to be a thing anymore. 228 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:25.679 You've got to show up. So people have to move back. 229 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.000 Some of it might be, but I do think there's 230 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.679 a there are people who leave the state with these 231 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.240 for the same reason, I mean, not the same reasons, 232 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:34.480 but with that same intention. 233 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.159 This is going to be paradise. 234 00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:40.559 If I move to Atlanta, or if I move to Miami, 235 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:43.200 or if I move to Saint Louis, it's going to 236 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.039 be beautiful and I'm not going to deal with the 237 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.480 same things like crime and homelessness. And then they get 238 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:51.240 there and they're like, oh, this is a nationwide problem, 239 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.320 and it's probably not what they expected. 240 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:55.720 I thought, say, that's the majority. 241 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:57.480 We go to a lot of cities where I don't 242 00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:00.879 see one single homeless person, and I mean part of 243 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.639 that is because of California's weather. 244 00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.399 Yeah, it's pretty moderate the whole year round. 245 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.519 But there's cities I go to where it's clean, there's 246 00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:12.120 no homeless people. It's not a situation. I mean, sure 247 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:14.440 there's a one off, but nothing like you see here. 248 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:16.720 I mean, I also may not be in those parts 249 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.080 of the city the city. Yeah, yeah, I did. 250 00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:21.639 Let me know, when you go to Foxborough a month 251 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:23.720 of five weeks from now, whether you see a lot 252 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.039 of homeless people in New England first weekend, Yeah. 253 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:28.639 Nuary, they say looking. 254 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.559 If you're looking for a hard to find bottle of 255 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:36.440 Kentucky bourbon, get your bids ready Kentucky.

The Tomorrow night, 278 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.159 of course, is going to be the absolute worst. And 279 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.440 if you've ever made your way around Southern California on 280 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.000 the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, you know how bad it can be. 281 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:55.200 They said. 282 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:58.360 The worst place to be in California Wednesday night before 283 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:02.840 Thanksgiving is North Bend I five between La and Bakersfield. 284 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:06.519 Travel time is expected to double to almost four hours. 285 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:12.480 That's without an accident, without a stalled vehicle, without a 286 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:16.840 truck dumping its pipe load somewhere down the Great Grapevine. 287 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:19.639 The Automobile Club of Southern California says six point six 288 00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:23.360 million Californians will travel more than fifty miles for the holiday. 289 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.759 That's increase of about three percent from the twenty twenty 290 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:30.960 three travel season and more than three percent of twenty nineteen, 291 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:34.840 which held the record apparently before the pandemic, they said. Actually, 292 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:39.480 traffic in Southern California spikes this afternoon.

I have no idea. I 304 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.279 would have no idea how to defrost it. And Brian 305 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:16.320 and all that stuff. You know, they have books on 306 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:17.320 how to do that. 307 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:19.399 I know. Okay, I'm just saying right now. 308 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:24.840 Oh, I would Without mister Google, I would have a problem. 309 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:30.720 In and out Burger has been dethroned. Uh oh, California's 310 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.240 new fast favorite fast food chain. 311 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:35.919 What do you think it is? 312 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:38.960 I didn't think it was this. 313 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.960 The number one spot is McDonald's. I get it. 314 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.879 I'm a traditionalist. I love McDonald's. I'll always go to 315 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:47.759 McDonald's first. 316 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.320 In the twenty years that I've lived in southern California, 317 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:55.759 I've probably eaten it in and out a couple hundred times, 318 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.720 a few hundred times maybe, And McDonald's I've been to 319 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:01.759 maybe four or five. 320 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:03.879 Oh, flip that for me. Flip that for me. 321 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:05.200 You don't go to in and Out. 322 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:06.080 Not really. 323 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:11.399 The line is punitive to me, like the drive show line. Yeah, 324 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.679 I don't know. I'm also gonna get like that. I'm 325 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.200 a McChicken person. I like the McChicken sandwich at McDonald's, okay, 326 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:19.720 or the chicken nuggets. 327 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.639 With the barbecue songe. I'm more of it. 328 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.000 I haven't had a burger from a fast food place 329 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.639 in a long time, but if I was, i'd probably 330 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:26.720 go to McDonald's first. 331 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:28.000 I don't know why. 332 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:30.720 It's just because growing up in northern California, we didn't 333 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.759 have the in and out burger. 334 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:33.600 Yeah, so it was kind. 335 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:35.440 Of like a novelty when I moved down here and 336 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:36.840 was kind of cool and I got into it for 337 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:39.159 a while, and then I kind of was already set 338 00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:40.679 in my ways with McDonald's. 339 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.399 They said the study was based on search engine interest 340 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.639 from California residence between November of last year November of 341 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:50.919 this year, and it included coffee chains. 342 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:55.080 Well, that's different criteria, isn't it. Because McDonald's has switched 343 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.080 things up, they have gotten more publicity I think than 344 00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:59.639 In and Out because in and Out kind of stays 345 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.240 the same. Whereas McDonald's screws around with you know, Mick 346 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.519 rib and bringing this back and bringing that back. Same 347 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.400 with Taco Bell, which came in second, then followed by 348 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.200 In and Out, Jack in the Box and Chick fil A. 349 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:13.880 In and Out is the latest food chain. 350 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.759 The move is response to minimum wage increases for fast 351 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:20.279 food workers in the state. They increase some of the 352 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:23.960 prices on their menu items. Of course, rounding out this 353 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:28.599 list Wendy's, which I think is an underrated burg Wendy's 354 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:33.039 is great, Chipotle, Burger King, deltalk O, KFC, and Carl's Junior. 355 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:36.799 On that list, the chicken tenders for Wendy's or second 356 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:37.279 to none. 357 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.720 I'm also a fan of the Carls Junior occasionally. 358 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.000 I do not like Carl's Junior. 359 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.480 They don't like the way they screw with the shape 360 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.240 of the nuggets with the star. I don't like their fries, 361 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.599 and is they have the curly fries still I don't. 362 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.079 I don't know if I've ever had curly fries from there, 363 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.640 so I cannot definitively say, but they make a good 364 00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.759 I guess everybody does throw bacon on there at some point, 365 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:02.160 but they're they're bacon Western cheeseburger with it. 366 00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:04.160 That is a good one. You're right, that is a 367 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:06.319 good one. They got the onion rings on way back. 368 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:08.480 I haven't had one of those in like twenty five years. 369 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:12.240 I used to get the double Western bacon cheeseburger and 370 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:19.079 the club chicken sandwich for one meal, large Doctor pepper 371 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.680 and a shake. So then you got to throw fries 372 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.119 in there too to round it all out. It is 373 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.160 a different time, if that's what you're asking, Well. 374 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:29.440 Your metabolism was different. 375 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.200 I was twenty two or twenty three. 376 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:33.680 That's perfectly normal. 377 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:38.160 I mean that's a that's about a thirty five hundred calorie. 378 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:39.920 Meal, turn forty day meal. 379 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.400 You turn forty and you basically have to stop eating, 380 00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:45.480 like enjoy yourself. Have a half an apple and a 381 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.200 couple of almonds. Yeah, and twenty two twenty three, you 382 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:49.279 can eat anything. 383 00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:53.880 And I did, man, I did. I Wow, that's eat 384 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:55.400 out on the road too. I'd eat that while I 385 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:57.319 was driving. So there's not even you don't even get 386 00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:59.880 a chance to move around after that. You just then 387 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.319 sitting in your ear n't go on your heartwalk, can't 388 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:05.640 go on that fartwalk just to move stuff around. 389 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:10.359 I was reading the BBC History magazine this morning, this 390 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.640 headline caught in my eye. Was there really a sport 391 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:19.240 called cock threshing? And the answer is yes. This gruesome 392 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.279 English blood sport, also called cock throwing, dates. 393 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:25.119 Back to at least the fourteenth century. 394 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:28.480 A hen or a cock was tied to a pole, 395 00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:31.960 a hat or a basket. Players then took it and 396 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:35.880 took it in turns to throw sticks or stones at 397 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:38.200 the bird until one of them managed to kill it. 398 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:43.119 The pastime was popular among children, who would played on 399 00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:48.440 something called Shrove Tuesday. Alternative versions involve strapping the chicken 400 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.119 too someone's back, or blindfolding competitors so they hit each 401 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.480
