15
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 2>is a bit of a pivot from our last segment.

16
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 2>We had a wonderful segment with mister Ernie Singleton music industry.

17
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 2>Let's make sure you catch that on the podcast under

18
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Featured Segments. This not as not nearly as fun of

19
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 2>a topic, but something that needs to be shared. And

20
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.079
<v Speaker 2>when I came across this story, I said, you know,

21
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of focus on what we're putting in

22
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 2>our bodies, how much we're putting in our bodies. Of course,

23
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 2>weight loss and what we consume is always at the

24
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.439
<v Speaker 2>top of many of the conversations we have, especially as

25
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 2>we get closer this summer and with talk about eggs

26
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 2>and the prices of things going up, especially when it

27
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.120
<v Speaker 2>comes to food and other produce or produce in our stores.

28
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 2>The talk continues about weight loss and what's happening around

29
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 2>weight loss. And what also continues is the popularity of

30
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 2>the semi glue tie drugs. The main one, the one

31
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:54.599
<v Speaker 2>that has probably the best name recognition, is o Zimpic.

32
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 2>There's also we go Vy and these other kind of

33
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>off brand ones. But for the last many years, drugs

34
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 2>like ozempic have become popular with the masses, first starting

35
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>with those who are managing their diabetes, and then another

36
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>niche group came along and found out that it worked

37
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.360
<v Speaker 2>for weight loss, and now you can find ozempic pretty

38
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 2>much anywhere online as long as you have something like

39
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 2>a doctor's note or some sort of prescription that allows

40
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 2>you to get it. And that is because it is

41
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:32.479
<v Speaker 2>a drug it's not a supplement, it is not something

42
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 2>that is considered to be natural. No, it's a trug.

43
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a semi glue tide and you inject it. And

44
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>because it's a drug, there are side effects. And what

45
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>we're not seeing right now are commercials about semi glue

46
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.000
<v Speaker 2>tides with people in bathtubs holding hands while looking at

47
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>the sunset talking about the virtues of their weight loss,

48
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 2>while also along the bottom of the screen you have

49
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 2>that ticker that says this drug can give you heart

50
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>heart palpitations, and can cause stroke, and can cause kidney

51
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 2>disease and all these other things. Because the popularity of

52
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 2>ozempic far outweighs the side effects, at least right now,

53
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 2>there's been a lot of talk about these side effects,

54
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 2>including ozimpic face. That's said to be when people experience

55
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of this rapid weight loss, their face hollows and

56
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.240
<v Speaker 2>starts to sag.

57
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 3>All the fatty tissue in their.

58
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Face goes away, and their faces are left kind of

59
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>forlorn and again saggy. So ozimpic face became synonymous with

60
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 2>ozimpic weight loss. There's also something called ozimpic, but the

61
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>same thing that was happening to people's faces. It's happening

62
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>to people's rear ends. You no longer had that plump,

63
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 2>nice bagside. You had one that was sagging, one that

64
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 2>was not necessarily the most appealing to you or to

65
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.319
<v Speaker 2>others to look at for that matter. And people started

66
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 2>to really complain about their bodies and the side effects

67
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:09.560
<v Speaker 2>from these drugs. Another was hair loss. People were saying

68
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>that they were having issues with hair loss and the

69
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>side effects continue. But you don't hear as much about

70
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>them per se as maybe we need to.

71
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 3>Well that's until.

72
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Now The Daily Mail is running an article and it

73
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:30.680
<v Speaker 2>is called more Americans on Ozimpic Go blind as doctor's

74
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 2>sound alarm over potentially startling side effect. So now you

75
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>can enter blindness into the conversation. Here's what the article says.

76
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Experts have sounded the alarm about blockbuster weight loss drugs

77
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:55.000
<v Speaker 2>like Ozimpic leaving users blind, Kayla, have you heard of.

78
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 3>This as a side effect?

79
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.959
<v Speaker 2>Has this been anything that's come across your social media

80
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 2>friend groups? Any thing about blindness?

81
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 4>No?

82
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 5>I have only heard the mental effects that it has

83
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 5>on people. I didn't hear that it can cause depression

84
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.879
<v Speaker 5>or sadness or you know, feelings that necessarily that you're

85
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.920
<v Speaker 5>not necessarily used to. Really, yeah, I've heard that, but

86
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 5>I haven't heard physical elements except for I helped you

87
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 5>lose weight.

88
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 3>And that's only physical effect that I've heard, which people

89
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.600
<v Speaker 3>want and see. I've heard only the physical side.

90
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I hadn't heard the psychological or emotional side of So

91
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>they have all these thin people running around.

92
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 3>And they're depressed, yes, exactly, or worse, it's what you're saying.

93
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Well, blindness is now the newest thing on the list.

94
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 2>Several studies have linked the shots of these semi glue tides,

95
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 2>specifically ozimpic two conditions that cause inflammation and block blood

96
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 2>flow to the eye. And when you block blood flow

97
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 2>to the eyes, it can cause severe and sometimes permanent

98
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:02.519
<v Speaker 2>vision loss. Great, wonderful, just wonderful. Right, So you can't

99
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>even see how skinny you've gotten. You're blind and you

100
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 2>just can feel it. You have to hope that she

101
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.759
<v Speaker 2>look good and that your face isn't sagging, your butt's

102
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.160
<v Speaker 2>not sagging, but you can't even see it. Now, researchers

103
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 2>have detailed nine new reports. There are nine new reports

104
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.120
<v Speaker 2>of patients in the US who say they have gone

105
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 2>blind after taking one of these drugs, and they're citing

106
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 2>again ozimbic and monjarro to be the main drugs that

107
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.399
<v Speaker 2>are causing this side effects. There are nine people who

108
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:37.680
<v Speaker 2>say they've gone blind. One woman injected a dose of

109
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.279
<v Speaker 2>semi glue tide for her diabetes and she woke up

110
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.759
<v Speaker 2>the next day blind in her left eye. That prompted

111
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 2>her to stop taking the medication. You think, right, you're blind,

112
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 2>you wake up blind?

113
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.600
<v Speaker 3>She stopped. Did she get her vision back?

114
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

115
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 3>So, here we go.

116
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 2>So she stopped taking the medication for two months before

117
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.160
<v Speaker 2>her diabetes and FOT sheally forced her to go back

118
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>on it. So she was taking it to manage her diabetes,

119
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.800
<v Speaker 2>and she stopped because of the side effect of blindness

120
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 2>and the one eye. And when she stopped, her diabetes

121
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 2>got worse. So the management became there you go, that's

122
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>the issue.

123
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.360
<v Speaker 3>So she stopped. The diabetes forced her to.

124
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Get back on it, and two weeks after she restarted,

125
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.759
<v Speaker 2>she lost vision in the other eye.

126
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:26.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

127
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.279
<v Speaker 2>So now while she was originally treating the diabetes and

128
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>then seeing the side effect or seeing the kind of

129
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>the consequence of that be weight loss as well, she

130
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:41.639
<v Speaker 2>is now dealing with the blindness in both eyes. Nine

131
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 2>reports of people going through this. Another woman who was

132
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.800
<v Speaker 2>taking the semi glue tide for a year, woke up

133
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>one morning with something called a painless shadow above her

134
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:56.000
<v Speaker 2>left eye. Don't know what that is, but it doesn't

135
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.040
<v Speaker 2>sound like we wanted. When she went and got tested,

136
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 2>because of course, what the heck is this, it revealed

137
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:07.240
<v Speaker 2>that blood vessels in her retina had become damaged, leading

138
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:12.319
<v Speaker 2>to blindness. Another person, yet another person of these nine,

139
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 2>said that in his left eyes, I don't think this

140
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.639
<v Speaker 2>is just women. In his left eye, after taking one

141
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.439
<v Speaker 2>of the semi glue tides, he suffered bleeding, and when

142
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.399
<v Speaker 2>doctors told him to keep taking the drug because there

143
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.839
<v Speaker 2>was a lack of evidence linking the bleeding to the drug,

144
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:34.399
<v Speaker 2>it only got worse. So here are doctors, this doctor

145
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.840
<v Speaker 2>specifically saying, hey, no, no, no, there's been no study

146
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:38.240
<v Speaker 2>that says.

147
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:38.720
<v Speaker 3>That this is true.

148
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>It could just be a happy, little, unhappy little coincidence. Right,

149
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 2>this is not good, but it's not linked to this.

150
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Just keep taking it, you'll be fine. This gentleman kept

151
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:53.759
<v Speaker 2>taking it, and his blindness got worse. Researchers wrote in

152
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Jamma Optomology, this publication this research journal last month, just

153
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.919
<v Speaker 2>last month, that it's not clear exactly what could be

154
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.240
<v Speaker 2>causing the side effects.

155
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 3>So there you go. They don't know, but they say that.

156
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Because it's unclear, you need to be careful. You start

157
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.440
<v Speaker 2>to feel anything or experience a shadow, you need to

158
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.879
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and consult with your doctor because you could

159
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:16.600
<v Speaker 2>very well.

160
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.919
<v Speaker 3>Be putting yourself at risk of blindness.

161
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>When we come back, we're gonna talk a bit about

162
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.960
<v Speaker 2>California being at the center of the egg crisis, what

163
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 2>can we expect, And then we're gonna talk to Rent

164
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 2>the Chicken, Rent the Chicken, and we're gonna hear all

165
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.879
<v Speaker 2>about their homestead organization and how you can rent a

166
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 2>chicken and produce your own eggs right here on KFI A.

167
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:39.519
<v Speaker 3>Not well, you're not gonna produce your eggs right here.

168
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 1>No, at home, you're listening to KFI AM six forty

169
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.480
<v Speaker 1>on demand, KFI AM.

170
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Six forty five everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

171
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Tiffany Hobbs here with you and producer Kaylain and I

172
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:54.879
<v Speaker 2>are having some fun off air, so that's what the

173
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>laughter is from. We have a good time here in

174
00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:59.120
<v Speaker 2>the studio, don't we. Kayla I love this show, Tiffin.

175
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 3>I love this show. I loved your interviewer, Ernie Singleton.

176
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Thanks.

177
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:03.840
<v Speaker 2>You want to high from that, and that's what we're

178
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>talking about. Just you know the pictures that you sent

179
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.919
<v Speaker 2>of me, I look like a kid in a candy store.

180
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm just giddy and so just happy to be talking

181
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.600
<v Speaker 2>to someone who's a legend, someone.

182
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.559
<v Speaker 5>I respect like that and breaking news because he's given

183
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.720
<v Speaker 5>us like breaking information that he like. What if you

184
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.240
<v Speaker 5>missed it, make sure you check it out on our

185
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:20.879
<v Speaker 5>future segments.

186
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:21.960
<v Speaker 3>It will be up there. Shortly said.

187
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 2>It was the first time he was talking about it,

188
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 2>so you have to listen back to find out what

189
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:34.360
<v Speaker 2>that is. Very special, very special. Eggs you laugh, but yes, eggs.

190
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Eggs again are the conversation starter. They're what everyone's talking about.

191
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

192
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.799
<v Speaker 2>If you're laughing about it, then for good reason, because

193
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.240
<v Speaker 2>it's ridiculous. What's going on with eggs right now? I

194
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.960
<v Speaker 2>went to story yesterday, day before yesterday, one of the two.

195
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.320
<v Speaker 2>On Friday, on Valentine's Day, no Thursday, I was stopping

196
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.320
<v Speaker 2>for Valentine's Day and I went to a Vonn's and

197
00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:58.639
<v Speaker 2>the Vonds.

198
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.360
<v Speaker 3>Had a good stock of eggs.

199
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.159
<v Speaker 2>I was happy to see that it was a good

200
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 2>stock of eggs, and I kind of waited around because

201
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.159
<v Speaker 2>I was waiting for this crush of people to flood

202
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.639
<v Speaker 2>the aisle becas it didn't seem real. It seemed like

203
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 2>a setup, because every time I've gone to Von's in

204
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.039
<v Speaker 2>the last maybe month, there's been one or two cartons

205
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.440
<v Speaker 2>and you open it up because you want eggs, and

206
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.320
<v Speaker 2>four or five of them are cracked, some of them

207
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:27.279
<v Speaker 2>are missing, or they're seventeen ninety nine for a dozen,

208
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:32.039
<v Speaker 2>and I refuse. I don't know about you, but I

209
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 2>just can't move myself to spend double what something is

210
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 2>worth just because it's there. I don't want to subscribe

211
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.240
<v Speaker 2>to supply and demand. We already do that with so

212
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:45.519
<v Speaker 2>many things. So eggs have been a source of contention

213
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 2>for a lot of us. And as we now know

214
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:53.480
<v Speaker 2>because it's been talked about at nauseum, the influenza crisis

215
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:58.879
<v Speaker 2>with birds, the avian influenza crisis, the bird flew seems

216
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 2>to be the reason why egg prices have skyrocket and

217
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.399
<v Speaker 2>why they're in fact so scarce. The average price of

218
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 2>a dozen eggs in California right now thirteen dollars and

219
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>forty nine cents thirteen forty nine. That's a lot more

220
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.720
<v Speaker 2>than what it was just at the beginning of the year.

221
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 2>The average price at the beginning of the year was

222
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 2>four ninety five four ninety five, maybe somewhere around seven

223
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.080
<v Speaker 2>dollars if you were at a price to your store,

224
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:32.639
<v Speaker 2>like maybe a Whole Foods or something like that, but

225
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:36.879
<v Speaker 2>still not thirteen forty nine for an average. And again

226
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.159
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing them for a lot higher in certain stores,

227
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and they've always been higher in California. That takes us

228
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:49.759
<v Speaker 2>to our next stories. Why are things this way in

229
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.879
<v Speaker 2>our state? Why is California dealing with a lot of

230
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 2>the crisis, specifically when it comes to scarcity and inflation.

231
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.240
<v Speaker 2>And there are some reasons behind this, and what is

232
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 2>in fact in store for California's future as it relates

233
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:13.279
<v Speaker 2>to eggs. So why are egg prices so high? Again,

234
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:17.759
<v Speaker 2>there's the Avian flu. And before I continue, we were

235
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 2>talking about sema glue tides and I said semi glue tides.

236
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:25.559
<v Speaker 2>It is not and gerald Stone, one of our great listeners,

237
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.120
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that I was pronouncing it incorrectly.

238
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.879
<v Speaker 3>So it's sema glue tide. And this is Avian flu.

239
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.919
<v Speaker 2>Don't you dare say avi on It is avian flu,

240
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:38.080
<v Speaker 2>not like the water and that flu has led to

241
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.279
<v Speaker 2>the death of more than twenty one million chickens, including

242
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:45.519
<v Speaker 2>thirteen million in December alone. According to the US Department

243
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:50.480
<v Speaker 2>of Agriculture, the population of chickens those conveniently or conventionally

244
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 2>caged has been reduced by eight percent.

245
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:55.240
<v Speaker 3>That's a lot.

246
00:13:55.519 --> 00:14:00.000
<v Speaker 2>They're saying that this virus is unprecedented. We've heard that

247
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.679
<v Speaker 2>at way too many times in the last five years,

248
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:10.720
<v Speaker 2>specifically about viruses unprecedented, unprecedented times. Well, it is still true.

249
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.840
<v Speaker 2>And when it comes to the avian flu, that's what

250
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 2>we're dealing with. And when it comes to the situation

251
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:20.039
<v Speaker 2>in California, people are trying to keep up with demand.

252
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.559
<v Speaker 2>The suppliers are finding it very difficult to meet the demand.

253
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 2>The cost of a dozen eggs has risen fifteen percent

254
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.120
<v Speaker 2>over the last four weeks, more on the West coast.

255
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Our prices are particularly high because California relies largely on

256
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.279
<v Speaker 2>its own production of eggs.

257
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:42.200
<v Speaker 3>We don't outsource.

258
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:46.000
<v Speaker 2>We produce our own eggs, and that's been diminished because

259
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.919
<v Speaker 2>of the influenza outbreak. Forty percent of eggs consumed in

260
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:55.919
<v Speaker 2>California are produced right here. There is some good news

261
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:59.519
<v Speaker 2>on the horizon. Egg prices will likely return to normal

262
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:04.399
<v Speaker 2>once the chicken population is replenished and eggs are being

263
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:09.679
<v Speaker 2>produced at a normal rate. But right now people are hoarding.

264
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.720
<v Speaker 2>You can see it all over social media. People are hoarding.

265
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:16.320
<v Speaker 2>They're buying pallettes and pallets of eggs, They're selling eggs.

266
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I've seen eggs sold individually at liquor stores. This is

267
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:25.639
<v Speaker 2>unprecedented because now we have people trying to make money

268
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:29.799
<v Speaker 2>off of this crisis that we are all in fact experiencing.

269
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Most grocers are even implementing restrictions on how many dozens

270
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:38.960
<v Speaker 2>you can buy per trip. When it comes to the

271
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.559
<v Speaker 2>political side of this, our president, President Trump did in

272
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.960
<v Speaker 2>fact campaign on the promise that he would lower grocery prices,

273
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:49.399
<v Speaker 2>and he had frequently blamed President Biden for inflation and

274
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:53.840
<v Speaker 2>high everyday costs. We are waiting for that to take hold.

275
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.039
<v Speaker 2>That would be great, That would be great.

276
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.279
<v Speaker 5>Back in my day, eggs were so disposable you would

277
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.679
<v Speaker 5>throw them at people's houses. That that's you off. Now

278
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:02.159
<v Speaker 5>they're like it's like throwing a diamond ring.

279
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.799
<v Speaker 2>You must have been rich back in your day, back

280
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.279
<v Speaker 2>in my day, back in your day. But yeah, I mean,

281
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:11.960
<v Speaker 2>we're looking forward to hopefully some reduction in these prices

282
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.440
<v Speaker 2>again as the chicken population is replenished, but for the

283
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.960
<v Speaker 2>time being, eggs are going to stay very, very high.

284
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Up next, we have another interview, a wonderful interview that's

285
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:24.720
<v Speaker 2>going to give us all a lot of insight into

286
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:29.519
<v Speaker 2>the egg production business and chicken farming and this business.

287
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Rent the Chicken is going to allow you to rent

288
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 2>your very own chicken or two or three. We'll find

289
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.080
<v Speaker 2>out just how many you'll be able to rent and

290
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.440
<v Speaker 2>what you are expected to produce. On the other side

313
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.960
<v Speaker 2>silent guest? I would say eggcellent. That'd be a lot better.

314
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.920
<v Speaker 2>This conversation talks about something a little different than what

315
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:07.279
<v Speaker 2>you might be accustomed to. You might have heard of

316
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.400
<v Speaker 2>farm to table, Kayla, have you heard of farm to table?

317
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:13.200
<v Speaker 4>Sure?

318
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Sure?

319
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well this particular concept is yard to table. How

320
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:23.519
<v Speaker 2>cute and it is started by This concept was started

321
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:27.839
<v Speaker 2>by Jin and Phil Tompkins out there in Freeport, Pennsylvania

322
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:32.039
<v Speaker 2>when they found it rent the Chicken in two thousand

323
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.839
<v Speaker 2>and thirteen Rent the Chicken.

324
00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:36.839
<v Speaker 3>Their objective was.

325
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:40.359
<v Speaker 2>To help people have just one food source closer to

326
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:44.279
<v Speaker 2>their table. Yes, not the market, not the grocery store,

327
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.480
<v Speaker 2>but a food source closer to your own table. And

328
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.799
<v Speaker 2>they call that concept again, yard to table. Each location

329
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.759
<v Speaker 2>of Rent the Chicken is a family run affiliate helping

330
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.759
<v Speaker 2>families bring that one simple food source close to their

331
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:06.359
<v Speaker 2>own tables at home, one chicken rental at a time.

332
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:09.680
<v Speaker 2>And about the rental just a little bit. Rent the

333
00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Chicken provides different increments of actual chickens. You might be

334
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:14.839
<v Speaker 2>able to get.

335
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.519
<v Speaker 3>Two hens or four egg laying hens.

336
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.599
<v Speaker 2>You'll also get all of the materials required to be

337
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:27.279
<v Speaker 2>able to house those hens and produce eggs, including a coop,

338
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:30.920
<v Speaker 2>a food dish, a water dish, and food for a

339
00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:33.720
<v Speaker 2>five to six month rental.

340
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:35.920
<v Speaker 3>They also provide literature so.

341
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:37.799
<v Speaker 2>That you can read up on what you're doing and

342
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:39.839
<v Speaker 2>not just get out there all willy nilly and do

343
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:42.319
<v Speaker 2>these chickens some harm. No, they want you to take

344
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.119
<v Speaker 2>care of these chickens and to do right by them

345
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.359
<v Speaker 2>so that they can produce for you and your family.

346
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Rent the Chicken is a very special organization and in

347
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:54.519
<v Speaker 2>the wake of what's going on with the egg scarcity,

348
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.559
<v Speaker 2>with the Avian flu, with these price hikes, especially hitting

349
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:02.720
<v Speaker 2>us hard in California. As we've all been feeling, Rent

350
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.759
<v Speaker 2>the Chicken is aiming to combat that and provide you

351
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:10.680
<v Speaker 2>with your very own egg laying hens. And I'm very

352
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:15.839
<v Speaker 2>very happy to welcome Homestead Jin of Rent the Chicken,

353
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.960
<v Speaker 2>one of the founders with her husband there, Homestead Gin

354
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:20.839
<v Speaker 2>is joining us here on the show.

355
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:26.160
<v Speaker 4>Hi there, Gin, good afternoon. I don't know what time

356
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.440
<v Speaker 4>it is, good evening, It's okay. I am so blessed.

357
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:36.559
<v Speaker 4>That was beautiful. Oh. I've never been introduced so accurately

358
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.559
<v Speaker 4>and with such passion as you just introduced me. And

359
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:44.519
<v Speaker 4>I am honored. So thank you for having me today.

360
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:46.920
<v Speaker 4>I really appreciate it, and you nailed it. I don't

361
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:48.279
<v Speaker 4>know what else we have to talk about.

362
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:51.440
<v Speaker 2>You are most welcome, Jen. And can I call you

363
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Jin or would you like me to call you Homestead Gin?

364
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:56.599
<v Speaker 4>You pick either one.

365
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:58.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll call you Jin for the sake of time. Homestead

366
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Gin is kind of long. I do love it. Though

367
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:03.400
<v Speaker 2>I do love it, we would absolutely fit that in

368
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.960
<v Speaker 2>at some point, okay, But just so you know the

369
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:10.400
<v Speaker 2>reason that I introduced you with that passion and with

370
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:14.519
<v Speaker 2>such detail is because that's what your organization is, rooted

371
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:18.240
<v Speaker 2>in passion, in a detailed execution of what you do.

372
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.640
<v Speaker 2>You're not just out here giving chickens away for fun. No,

373
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:24.559
<v Speaker 2>there's a true objective to it, and it's so that

374
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:28.680
<v Speaker 2>people can have a more holistic experience in their own homes.

375
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:31.039
<v Speaker 2>They don't have to go to the market. They can

376
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.440
<v Speaker 2>experience what it is to raise a live animal, a

377
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.240
<v Speaker 2>hen or an egg producing hen, and to then benefit

378
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:41.799
<v Speaker 2>from the labor of that hen to have fresh eggs

379
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.200
<v Speaker 2>on their kitchen table. And I think that that anyone

380
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.799
<v Speaker 2>who enters into that sort of relationship with rent the

381
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Chicken has to be should be passionate about what they're doing.

382
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.039
<v Speaker 2>So thank you for all that you are providing.

383
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:01.759
<v Speaker 4>Oh you're welcome, egg Cited to be on your show.

384
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:05.119
<v Speaker 4>I'm thrilled to chat about rented Chicken and all things

385
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.599
<v Speaker 4>chicken and yard to table. We could. We have a

386
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:09.359
<v Speaker 4>lot to chat.

387
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 3>About, for sure, we do.

388
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:13.960
<v Speaker 2>And I have a question right out the gate, okay,

389
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:16.440
<v Speaker 2>And I've been thinking about it long and hard since

390
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I was told that you would be coming onto the show.

391
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I've gone back and forth over how to ask this question,

392
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:24.039
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like it is one of the most

393
00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:28.680
<v Speaker 2>pressing questions on the list, and that question is homestead

394
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:31.079
<v Speaker 2>jin what came first?

395
00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:34.119
<v Speaker 3>The chicken or the homestead.

396
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.759
<v Speaker 4>The chicken or the homestead, or chicken or the egg.

397
00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:42.240
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know. The chicken, the homestead, the egg,

398
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:46.079
<v Speaker 4>it all came first. For in regards to rented chicken,

399
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:51.160
<v Speaker 4>we say that with rented chicken, the hen came first, okay,

400
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:55.640
<v Speaker 4>and then the egg because we deliver the rental package

401
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:58.880
<v Speaker 4>with the hen and the coop with we have a

402
00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:02.079
<v Speaker 4>hatching program as well well, so we provide a five

403
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:05.759
<v Speaker 4>week hatching program with an incubator and fertile egg so

404
00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:10.160
<v Speaker 4>people can enjoy the experience of hatching baby chicks live

405
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:14.400
<v Speaker 4>in their home. We provide this to schools, daycares, preschool,

406
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.839
<v Speaker 4>senior care facilities, and even libraries participate. It's incredible. And

407
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:21.079
<v Speaker 4>then they keep the chicks for two weeks. Just when

408
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.200
<v Speaker 4>they're not so cute, we pick them up and take

409
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:25.759
<v Speaker 4>them back. So in the case of hatch the chicken,

410
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:31.759
<v Speaker 4>the egg comes first, And in regards to the homestead,

411
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:35.920
<v Speaker 4>the homestead came first, and then the chickens came homestead

412
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:38.759
<v Speaker 4>Phil before he was homestead Phil and I met when

413
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:43.000
<v Speaker 4>we both lived outside of Baltimore, Maryland, and then not a.

414
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Place where you would normally have perhaps a homestead right

415
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.000
<v Speaker 2>in Maryland, kind of an urban that's.

416
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:51.279
<v Speaker 4>Right, it was very urban. We did not have a homestead,

417
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:56.000
<v Speaker 4>although homestead Phil took over my very nice, newly planned

418
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:59.720
<v Speaker 4>out flower beds and planted carrots because he was determined

419
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:06.079
<v Speaker 4>to play something that we could grow and eat. Yeah.

420
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:09.960
<v Speaker 4>So then we decided to move to rural western Pennsylvania,

421
00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:14.519
<v Speaker 4>one county over from where I grew up, and he

422
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.680
<v Speaker 4>warned me. He said, I want to do some homesteading.

423
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:20.200
<v Speaker 4>I want to get some chickens, and I want to

424
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.400
<v Speaker 4>have a big garden, and I would like to raise

425
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.559
<v Speaker 4>some meat rabbits. And I was like, you've lost your mind.

426
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:29.480
<v Speaker 4>You can pick two, That's what I told him. So

427
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:31.759
<v Speaker 4>since then, we've had chickens that lay eggs, we have

428
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:35.079
<v Speaker 4>chickens for meat, we raised turkeys, we've had meat rabbits.

429
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:38.720
<v Speaker 4>The garden gets bigger every single year. He truly is

430
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.000
<v Speaker 4>homestead Phil. Jen.

431
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:42.440
<v Speaker 3>What is a meat rabbit?

432
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh, so it's not associated with rented chickens, but they

433
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:55.519
<v Speaker 4>are large, large, rabbits that are bread and raised to

434
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:57.519
<v Speaker 4>be processed to put meat on your table.

435
00:24:57.640 --> 00:24:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Got it, got it?

436
00:24:58.519 --> 00:25:02.960
<v Speaker 4>I thought he was in, But golly, I make the

437
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:06.920
<v Speaker 4>best buffalo dip and I did not say chicken.

438
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I'll leave.

439
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:09.279
<v Speaker 4>I'll leave the imagination to you.

440
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:10.039
<v Speaker 3>Guys.

441
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:13.799
<v Speaker 2>You know there's a lot to be asked of you, Jin,

442
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:15.880
<v Speaker 2>and we don't have enough in this segment. Can I

443

<v Speaker 2>keep you on for one more segment so that we

444
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:20.799
<v Speaker 2>can find out some more details about Rent the Chicken,

445
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:25.440
<v Speaker 2>some more pressing questions about things like climate and resources

446
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:29.720
<v Speaker 2>and other factors that could help or hinder people who

447
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:32.720
<v Speaker 2>may want to enter into your Rent the Chicken program.

448
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Can we do that on the other side of.

453
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:49.279
<v Speaker 2>bit more about the homestead organization that she and her

454
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:52.480
<v Speaker 2>husband started back in twenty thirteen and how they now

455
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:58.000
<v Speaker 2>are helping you produce egg laying hens. I have to

456
00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:02.160
<v Speaker 2>say that slowly egg laying hens with Rent the Chicken.

457
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about that on the other side of the break.

458
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Kfi Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

459
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:12.599
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand kf

460
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I Am.

461
00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Tiffy Hobbs

462
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:18.960
<v Speaker 2>with you here for one more segment, and then Michael

463
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Monks comes aboard via a very special two hour broadcast

464
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:26.200
<v Speaker 2>talking about what's happening now as the next phase of

465
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.640
<v Speaker 2>recovery occurs in the fire areas all around southern California.

466
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Make sure you listen to that very special broadcast from

467
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.960
<v Speaker 2>seven to nine right here on KFI, and tomorrow from

468
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:42.400
<v Speaker 2>two to four we are talking to Homestead Gin. Homestead

469
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Gin is a part of an organization that she started

470
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:50.119
<v Speaker 2>with her husband Phil in twenty thirteen called Rent the Chicken,

471
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:54.160
<v Speaker 2>and they are bringing chickens to your home, not in

472
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:56.359
<v Speaker 2>a way that you might be accustomed to. No, you

473
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.440
<v Speaker 2>are going to raise these chickens or chicks. Gin was

474
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.039
<v Speaker 2>explaining that to us in the last segment. And when

475
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:06.720
<v Speaker 2>these chickens mature, when you have these egg laying hens,

476
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:09.839
<v Speaker 2>you will then be able to produce your own eggs

477
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:13.839
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully be able to kind of subvert or get

478
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:17.680
<v Speaker 2>around the egg crisis that is looming all around the country,

479
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.519
<v Speaker 2>as is rent the Chicken. They are located all around

480
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:25.400
<v Speaker 2>the country, and Gin, I have some questions for you

481
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:27.480
<v Speaker 2>before we wrap up.

482
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:29.920
<v Speaker 3>When you think about creating.

483
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Your own chicken enclosure, because you provide rent the Chicken

484
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.039
<v Speaker 2>provides all the materials necessary for people to be able

485
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:40.759
<v Speaker 2>to house these hens in their homes or in their yards.

486
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:44.359
<v Speaker 2>What are some of the barriers that may prevent people

487
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.319
<v Speaker 2>from being able to participate in rent the Chicken. Do

488
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:49.359
<v Speaker 2>you have any examples of someone who may have said, Hey,

489
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 2>I want a chicken, and then you get out there

490
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.240
<v Speaker 2>to their home and you're like, no, that's not going

491
00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:54.680
<v Speaker 2>to work.

492
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 4>Well, we do our best to ask the question of

493
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:00.200
<v Speaker 4>talk to us about your yard space when they make

494
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.480
<v Speaker 4>a reservation or when they're making their reservation, so that

495
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.480
<v Speaker 4>we can not be as alerted upon arrival that oh,

496
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.599
<v Speaker 4>my goodness, this is not going to work. Some barriers

497
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:16.720
<v Speaker 4>could be our potential renters really need to have some

498
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:21.279
<v Speaker 4>bit of green space or dirt space. We have had

499
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:24.119
<v Speaker 4>people call and they say, I live in an apartment.

500
00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:25.279
<v Speaker 4>Can the chicken coop go.

501
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:27.519
<v Speaker 3>On my balcony?

502
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:31.319
<v Speaker 4>That is not a great choice. The chickens won't be

503
00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:34.799
<v Speaker 4>as happy in that space, and they do. You know,

504
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:40.319
<v Speaker 4>your viewers might not. No chickens poop, so that has

505
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:44.319
<v Speaker 4>to go somewhere, you know, and and on the balcony

506
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:48.240
<v Speaker 4>is not the best place for it. We just want

507
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:51.079
<v Speaker 4>the chickens to be happy. We want our renters to

508
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:54.319
<v Speaker 4>have a great experience. We need a way to get

509
00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:58.279
<v Speaker 4>the coop to the backyard, and if necessary, most of

510
00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:04.440
<v Speaker 4>our coops can be delivered partially assembled, so we can

511
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:08.200
<v Speaker 4>get into a smaller space that way, and it works

512
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:10.960
<v Speaker 4>out fine. Like we do ask some questions in advance

513
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:13.440
<v Speaker 4>about the yard space to make sure that we believe

514
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:16.720
<v Speaker 4>we can navigate that coop into the backyard. That's most

515
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:19.440
<v Speaker 4>of our concern is making sure the coop can get

516
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:20.720
<v Speaker 4>to the backyard.

517
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.359
<v Speaker 3>Got it?

518
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:25.119
<v Speaker 2>And I saw on your website that you allow these

519
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:28.799
<v Speaker 2>chickens to be rented for five to six months. How

520
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:33.119
<v Speaker 2>soon can someone expect, under really good circumstances and conditions

521
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.160
<v Speaker 2>for their hens to produce eggs?

522
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:39.359
<v Speaker 4>So we have these amazing hens. Sometimes they lay in

523
00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:41.640
<v Speaker 4>transit on the way to the renters out. Oh wow,

524
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:46.160
<v Speaker 4>usually within a couple of days. Sometimes sometimes their little

525
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:48.640
<v Speaker 4>systems get a little out of whackus, So what's going

526
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:51.640
<v Speaker 4>on in life? Once they make the transport, But it

527
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:53.480
<v Speaker 4>might take a few days to get back into the

528
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:57.519
<v Speaker 4>swing of things. But really they are usually ready to

529
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:01.440
<v Speaker 4>lay at delivery.

530
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.759
<v Speaker 2>And you are across the country. But we're speaking to

531
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:07.119
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people who are right here in Southern California.

532
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Where how can they participate in Rent the Chicken? If

533
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:15.240
<v Speaker 2>they live in southern California, where are you best contacted?

534
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Can they come out and visit your homestead? What can

535
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Southern Californians look forward to when they involve themselves with

536
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Rent the Chicken?

537
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:27.920
<v Speaker 4>Great question. They can go to rentichicken dot com, click

538
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:31.960
<v Speaker 4>on the pricing location or the drop down for California,

539
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:35.319
<v Speaker 4>Los Angeles. That's where we are. We don't really offer

540
00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:38.960
<v Speaker 4>farm tours currently because of biosecurity and all the things

541
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:41.799
<v Speaker 4>happening with avian flu. We just want to keep our

542
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:46.960
<v Speaker 4>risks as minimal as possible. But if someone's interested, they

543
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:49.799
<v Speaker 4>can give us a call, make an online inquiry, or

544
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:52.000
<v Speaker 4>if they're all in and they see that they're within

545
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:55.359
<v Speaker 4>the delivery range, they can make a reservation right there

546
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:58.279
<v Speaker 4>on the website and then we'll be in touch about

547
00:30:58.279 --> 00:31:00.359
<v Speaker 4>their yard space. Make sure that it's a good fit

548
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.960
<v Speaker 4>and plan on making our deliveries in April or May

549
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.039
<v Speaker 4>in the Greater LA area.

550
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Wonderful April or May. And again, can you give your

551
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:10.880
<v Speaker 2>website out one more time?

552
00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:16.359
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Rent the Chicken dot Com. There's no hyphens. The

<v Speaker 2>Rent the Chicken dot com drop down, California to be

557
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:30.279
<v Speaker 2>able to inquire online or get a phone number so

558
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:33.359
<v Speaker 2>that you can get your process started to get these

559
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.480
<v Speaker 2>egg laying hens to your yard space, and your yard

560
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.119
<v Speaker 2>will in fact be vetted first. They do their vetting

561
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:45.160
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that these are optimal situations or circumstances

562
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:49.960
<v Speaker 2>for these hens. No balconies sorry, people who live in apartments,

563
00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:52.240
<v Speaker 2>sorry about that. You got to keep going to the

564
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:54.960
<v Speaker 2>market or you can find a local farmer that way.

565
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.319
<v Speaker 2>But you can't have hens on your balcony if you

566
00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:58.200
<v Speaker 2>have dogs.

567
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:02.279
<v Speaker 3>Maybe another situation you're going to have to inquire about.

568
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:05.240
<v Speaker 2>You want to make sure that your circumstances are optimal

569
