00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

3
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:14.599
<v Speaker 2>By the way, during our discussion of high energy prices

4
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:18.359
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts, with the exception of one call from Canada,

5
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 2>we did not hear from any other states. So I'm

6
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:27.440
<v Speaker 2>wondering if this is a problem that is limited to Massachusetts,

7
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>because frankly, on most nights we end up with a

8
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 2>lot of callers from a lot of different states. So

9
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>we're going to kind of change topics here and go

10
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:42.359
<v Speaker 2>to the price of eggs. The agricultural agriculture secretary the

11
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Trump administration is a woman named Brooke Rawlins. I have

12
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 2>no idea what her background is. Obviously she's a supporter

13
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>of Donald Trump. She's the Secretary of Agriculture. So she

14
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 2>in the Wall Street Journal today talked about this and

15
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>talked about what she would like to do. She said,

16
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.719
<v Speaker 2>there's no silver. She talks about the Avian flu. Okay,

17
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 2>we can't blame anyone for the Avian flu, to the

18
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.239
<v Speaker 2>best of my knowledge. Okay, but she makes out the

19
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 2>point that the price of eggs under Biden's presidency rose

20
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>twenty percent, but the average price of eggs rose gross

21
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>like that strike that She says grocery prices rose by

22
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>twenty percent under President Biden. That's a lot. But the

23
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>average price of a dozen eggs went up two hundred

24
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 2>and thirty seven percent from one hundred from a dollar

25
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 2>forty seven in January twenty twenty one to four ninety

26
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 2>five last month. That's a lot. Okay, there were some

27
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.519
<v Speaker 2>places where people are paying six, seven or ten dollars. Now.

28
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>A part of this is avian flu, which has, according

29
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>to her, state of American poultry farmers and slash the

30
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>egg supply over the past two years. You can't blame

31
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden for the avian flu. Okay. However, she said

32
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>the Biden aminonistration did little, So what is she going

33
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 2>to do. She's announcing a strategy to combat avian flu.

34
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.520
<v Speaker 2>The Agriculture Department invest the billion dollars to currup the

35
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:25.719
<v Speaker 2>crisis and make eggs affordable again. Here's the problem. Donald

36
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Trump said that when he gets into office, he's going

37
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 2>to do this, this, and this. He's now been in

38
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 2>office for a month. Eventually these problems. The longer you're

39
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 2>in office, you basically assumed these problems. I'm not willing

40
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 2>to blame Donald Trump tonight for the price of eggs.

41
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>But I want to watch what this Secretary of Agriculture

42
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>is gonna do. She says, we have a five prong strategy. First,

43
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 2>we'll dedicate up to five hundred million dollars helping US

44
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 2>poultry producers implement gold standard biosecurity measures. Okay, that's fine.

45
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.360
<v Speaker 2>She says that she went to an egg production farm

46
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 2>in Texas, stringent members to prevent contamination, vehicles hosed down

47
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 2>before entering the property. I've never really been to a

48
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.120
<v Speaker 2>chicken farm as it were, but I've been to a

49
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 2>turkey farm. They're pretty dirty. Okay, so she said. Second,

50
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.240
<v Speaker 2>we'll make up to well, we will make up to

51
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 2>four hundred million dollars of increased financial aid available to

52
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:34.199
<v Speaker 2>farmers whose flocks are affected by avian flu. I. Like,

53
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you're going to spend some government money,

54
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>that's okay. Third, the USDA US Department of Agricultures exploring

55
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>the use of vaccines and therapeutics for laying chickens. While

56
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 2>vaccines on a standalone solution, We'll provide up to a

57
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 2>hundred million in research and development of a vaccines and

58
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>therapeutics to improve their efficacy, and efficiency. I like that

59
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 2>this should help reduce the need to here's one of

60
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>those euphemisms depopular flocks that means killed chickens, which means

61
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 2>killing chickens on a farm with as an outbreak. Fourth,

62
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.840
<v Speaker 2>in addition to tackling avian flud, will take other actions

63
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>to lower the price of eggs. For starters, we'll remove

64
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 2>unnecessary regulatory burdens and egg producers where possible. This will

65
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>include examining the best way to protect farmers from overly

66
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 2>prescriptive state laws, such as California's Prop. Twelve, which established

67
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 2>minimum space requirements for egg laying hens. Well with the

68
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 2>number of eggs who have been depopulated, the hens probably

69
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 2>have more space now than they've ever had before. But

70
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 2>in California, the average price of a dozen eggs nine

71
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 2>dollars and sixty eight cents. And finally, we'll consider temporary

72
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>import options to reduce egg costs in the short term.

73
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Import eggs, okay, we will proceed with imports only if

74
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.839
<v Speaker 2>the eggs meet string in US safety standards and if

75
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>we determine that doing so won't jeopardize American farmers' access

76
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:02.079
<v Speaker 2>to markets in the future. So that's a policy. That's

77
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 2>a plan. I like it. What are you paying for

78
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 2>eggs and what are you doing? I had I wanted

79
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 2>to have eggs this morning. We have eggs in the refrigerator.

80
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.399
<v Speaker 2>But I had pancakes. I had blueberry pancakes this morning.

81
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 2>That was my action of the day. And you know

82
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I had tonight for dinner, I had a salad. It

83
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 2>took a little extra effort to make a salad. Then

84
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.439
<v Speaker 2>it did just just do a can of soup. But

85
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I feel better having had a salad. So we got

86
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 2>to start thinking when you go to the store. If

87
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.040
<v Speaker 2>you look at those expensive cookie brands, don't buy them.

88
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 2>I see cookies now well known cookies that used to

89
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.839
<v Speaker 2>be two fifty package then now four bucks for what

90
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Don't buy them. Let them sit there,

91
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 2>let them go stale. That's all. We got to be

92
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 2>smarter as consumers. It's as simple as that. Let's go

93
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 2>to call. I'm going to go to Rick and Bill.

94
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Rick or Rick, appreciate you calling in. You are first

95
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 2>on the question of eggs, the price of eggs. How

96
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 2>are you Rick?

97
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing well and I love eggs and they're a

98
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:17.199
<v Speaker 3>good source source of protein. Absolutely and yeah, and I

99
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 3>haven't purchased them in recent times because of the inflated

100
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 3>prices have the bill Rick and market Basket, but they

101
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.240
<v Speaker 3>actually do a pretty good job of bringing pressure how much.

102
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>If you remember how much of eggs? How much are eggs?

103
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go to market Basket some day later

104
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 2>this week because I always save money when I go

105
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 2>to market Basket.

106
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, you do the qualities. The quality is fine, you know,

107
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 3>Shaws and Wegmans can be higher quality and sometimes better.

108
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:46.920
<v Speaker 2>But it's good.

109
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 3>You're not really you're right.

110
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:48.680
<v Speaker 4>You know.

111
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean I've never had I've never bought a product

112
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:57.920
<v Speaker 2>at uh at at Wegman's. Uh that that turned quickly.

113
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:04.279
<v Speaker 2>I've bought products at most other supermarkets. Strawberries, I love strawberries,

114
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 2>and you know, they're in the refrigerator for a day

115
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>and a half and all of a sudden you realize

116
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 2>there's a couple of rotten strawberries in there. Are that

117
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.319
<v Speaker 2>are moldy. Never had that happen at market Basket.

118
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.879
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, I mean this is where I always went

119
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.519
<v Speaker 3>as a kid when I grew up in Burlington, and

120
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 3>my father used to go there in the seventies, and

121
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 3>so I just I'm down the street from my house

122
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 3>is located down the street.

123
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.800
<v Speaker 2>So I go, what what an exit market basket?

124
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:36.720
<v Speaker 3>I think I haven't checked the exact price, but I

125
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:39.480
<v Speaker 3>thought I thought a few weeks back or a month ago,

126
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 3>I was looking at prices at five or six dollars

127
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:44.439
<v Speaker 3>something like that.

128
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.639
<v Speaker 2>I would have dot that. I will doubt that, and

129
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:48.759
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you I'll doubt that.

130
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you what because I'm not positive.

131
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no. I bought eggs at Shaw's the other day.

132
00:07:55.439 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it was four ninety five, which again, you know,

133
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.800
<v Speaker 2>you buy one dozen eggs, which you're going to hold

134
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.839
<v Speaker 2>you for. You know, even with a family, you're going

135
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:10.199
<v Speaker 2>to hold you for a couple of weeks. When the

136
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.279
<v Speaker 2>price of gas line up, you were buying ten gallons

137
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 2>at a time, it has cost you a three bucks

138
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.040
<v Speaker 2>more per gallon. So that's it's really hitting you. I'll

139
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>pay four ninety five for eggs in the short term

140
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.839
<v Speaker 2>because there they are, as you say, an important product.

141
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 2>If anybody out there has bought eggs and market basket

142
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.560
<v Speaker 2>in the last week, I'll bet you it's less than

143
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:28.319
<v Speaker 2>four ninety five.

144
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.720
<v Speaker 3>I hope, yeah, because I checked a little bit back. Yeah,

145
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.600
<v Speaker 3>and I don't want to. I mean I wasn't checking everybody.

146
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Oftentimes you they don't put them well, they do in

147
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.159
<v Speaker 3>market basket, but you don't always see the price of things.

148
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.559
<v Speaker 2>It probably I haven't market I can go into market

149
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 2>basket and buy progressive soup two for five dollars and

150
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.559
<v Speaker 2>so on a night. And I'm lazy and I want

151
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:54.320
<v Speaker 2>to have and I'm just I don't want to cook

152
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.200
<v Speaker 2>anything or make a salad team. I'll throw a can

153
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:58.360
<v Speaker 2>of minister and soup.

154
00:08:58.840 --> 00:08:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

155
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.039
<v Speaker 2>If you go into Shawls or something like that, that

156
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.039
<v Speaker 2>same cana soup is going to be three ninety nine.

157
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be a lot more expensive. I wish

158
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 3>you could buy a stick of butter. You can't do

159
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:12.639
<v Speaker 3>that anymore. It seems I went to market Basco. I

160
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:14.120
<v Speaker 3>was trying to find a stick of butter. So I

161
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 3>made a deal with my brother. I said, buy a

162
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.840
<v Speaker 3>four pack and I'll buy two from you today. That's sweet.

163
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 2>But butter doesn't really good. But boy is that butter

164
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.559
<v Speaker 2>doesn't really go bad? Right?

165
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.480
<v Speaker 3>No, it really doesn't. I mean you can leave butter out,

166
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 3>can I tell you?

167
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Can I tell you? And awaken one any secret about butter.

168
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Please, butter will.

169
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Help you lose weight. Yes. I was stunned to find

170
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.559
<v Speaker 2>that because when I first started with Awaken one eighty,

171
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I said, well, you I used butter on sandwiches. Said

172
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.559
<v Speaker 2>what's the problem with that? I said, well, I assume butter.

173
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:58.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, I gotta eliminate butter. No, no, so I

174
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 2>use butter in I and it hasn't put It hasn't

175
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.519
<v Speaker 2>impacted my weight loss at all.

176
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:06.879
<v Speaker 3>No, you're in good shape.

177
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 2>I me in better shape now than it was ten

178
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.679
<v Speaker 2>years ago. I'll tell you that I was five to

179
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.799
<v Speaker 2>eight one sixty eight at this point.

180
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, you've been there for ten years. Don't don't lose

181
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.600
<v Speaker 3>any more than that. But I got to lose about

182
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 3>fifteen or twenty pounds, get to one ninety five, that

183
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.679
<v Speaker 3>would be good. I just thank you for that tidbit

184
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.480
<v Speaker 3>on the waking money. I appreciate that a lot. I

185
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.240
<v Speaker 3>just wanted to say, I know you're not talking about

186
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.519
<v Speaker 3>the energy, but I just want to say thank you

187
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.480
<v Speaker 3>for bringing all this stuff up about the ones that

188
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.039
<v Speaker 3>the heads of the it's the heads of the Department

189
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.360
<v Speaker 3>of Energy that were elected.

190
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Department of policies, the people basically governor Healy should going

191
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:50.440
<v Speaker 2>and bowl them all out.

192
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.000
<v Speaker 3>So guess what, And I agree with you because you know,

193
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.399
<v Speaker 3>if we if we could have brought them the price

194
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:03.440
<v Speaker 3>I uh five instead of a we could have got

195
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.799
<v Speaker 3>a reduction on a better deal at ten. That companies

196
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.639
<v Speaker 3>will say, we'll give you a ten. And she says five.

197
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.840
<v Speaker 3>That's a clear indication that they don't care about the

198
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:12.000
<v Speaker 3>American consumer.

199
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.000
<v Speaker 2>It would be like, you know, I don't know what

200
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.279
<v Speaker 2>you I don't know what you do for a job.

201
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Let me just assume your your work for a company

202
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.919
<v Speaker 2>hypothetically and you you know, but I'm saying if you

203
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.879
<v Speaker 2>work for company and you go into your boss and

204
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:26.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, you say, you have been here a couple

205
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 2>of years, and uh, you know, I'd like to get

206
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.080
<v Speaker 2>a little raise, and the boss says, well, what are

207
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.720
<v Speaker 2>you looking for? And well, you know, I've been here

208
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.240
<v Speaker 2>for I haven't had a raisin. I'd like three percent

209
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker 2>and he says three percent. And then you find out

210
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.240
<v Speaker 2>from somebody, well the other people went in and asked

211
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.200
<v Speaker 2>for eight percent and they gave eight percent. You're going

212
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:48.320
<v Speaker 2>to say to yourself, the DPU said to the utilities

213
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:52.120
<v Speaker 2>cut the rates in Marching April five, percent, big deal.

214
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.759
<v Speaker 2>They came the companies came back a national grid and

215
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.879
<v Speaker 2>Everso's came back and said, we'll see you five percent

216
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 2>and we'll raise the cut to ten. The DPU was

217
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:03.320
<v Speaker 2>totally out of.

218
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Exactly, fire them.

219
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Fire the three of them say thank you for your service.

220
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:12.200
<v Speaker 2>We appreciate it, but we're moving on. That's not going

221
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.799
<v Speaker 2>to happen, though. I call on the governor tonight to

222
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.320
<v Speaker 2>fire the three of them. Boom, start from scratch.

223
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 3>I agree, I agree. I clean a dealership and I

224
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 3>do some sing and I do I do a couple

225
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.519
<v Speaker 3>other things as well. But that's uh. In terms of

226
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.320
<v Speaker 3>the my my two favorite bosses of the dealership. They

227
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 3>give me a raise unless I make a really good

228
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.799
<v Speaker 3>but they take care of me just fine.

229
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.799
<v Speaker 2>Good Rick, I got to run them well into the newscast.

230
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.799
<v Speaker 2>So I got you all right, thank you very much,

231
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much. You too. To the rest of

232
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:46.279
<v Speaker 2>the call is you've only been there a few minutes,

233
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 2>so none of you are going to get the time.

234
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Rick got. Let's pick up the pace. I got one

235
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 2>line open. I want to hear from ten people between

236
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:57.240
<v Speaker 2>now and midnight. They're I'm going to be solely disappointed.

237
00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 2>The lines are packedful right now, which is the way

238
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.759
<v Speaker 2>I like it. And I got Dallas in Ohio coming back.

239
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:04.279
<v Speaker 2>We're going to find out what the price of eggs

240
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:06.919
<v Speaker 2>are at Ohio. I'll bet you they're better than Massachusetts.

241
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.159
<v Speaker 2>I just kind of think so because they have more

242
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:12.240
<v Speaker 2>farms there. We'll see back on nights Side right after this. Dallas,

243
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 2>you hold on, I'm coming to get you.

244
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:21.960
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBS Boston's news radio.

245
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Dallas in Ohio. Hey, Dallas, welcome back.

246
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:28.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, how you doing, Dan?

247
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great? What the heck the eggs cost in Ohio?

248
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:41.240
<v Speaker 4>Okay? I bought a Baker's dozen about about two weeks ago,

249
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:47.120
<v Speaker 4>and around that time there was shortage, you know, there

250
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 4>was talker shortages on the shelves, and local news was

251
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.759
<v Speaker 4>showing the shelves and some of the stores and they

252
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:59.559
<v Speaker 4>had very little eggs on the shell. So I went

253
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:03.879
<v Speaker 4>to the or in much of my surprise, the store

254
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.679
<v Speaker 4>that I go to, the shelves are loaded and plenty

255
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 4>of eggs, you know, the regular the white eggs and

256
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 4>the brown eggs. So I picked up a Baker's dozen

257
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:25.440
<v Speaker 4>and they were less than seven bucks, which kind of surprised.

258
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.000
<v Speaker 2>That, isn't it. So you got thirty you got thirteen

259
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>eggs for seven.

260
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:31.840
<v Speaker 4>Bucks, actually eighteen.

261
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh, so you got eighteen for seven bucks. Okay, that's

262
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.480
<v Speaker 2>a good deal. So you're that you were paying about

263
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:42.480
<v Speaker 2>four eighty if you if you figured out that out, Yeah,

264
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 2>that's so that's about what I guess people are paying here.

265
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:47.799
<v Speaker 2>I figured that in a frontal You guys have a

266
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:51.639
<v Speaker 2>lot more farms and a lot more you know, chicken farms.

267
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.480
<v Speaker 2>There were some cities here in Massachusetts where you can

268
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:59.440
<v Speaker 2>keep chickens in your backyard. Okay, now people want to

269
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:00.960
<v Speaker 2>keep chicken in their backyard.

270
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:06.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, you could have chickens in the county did I

271
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.559
<v Speaker 4>live in? But you have to have a permit for

272
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.039
<v Speaker 4>them in order to have them.

273
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how much did they charge you for the permit?

274
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.159
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, I really, I really don't know. Ye.

275
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:25.440
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, what's the what's the feeling out there towards uh,

276
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.879
<v Speaker 2>what's going on in out of Washington? I mean, it's

277
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.000
<v Speaker 2>been a tumultuous a month and well five weeks now

278
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.559
<v Speaker 2>in Washington. And you know, we talked last night about

279
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:41.039
<v Speaker 2>maybe some sort of a deal in terms of the

280
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Ukraine War. Uh, it's been tumultuous, but I guess we've

281
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:49.440
<v Speaker 2>got to buckle up for the ride.

282
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.799
<v Speaker 4>Yes, that's that's all we can do. Of course. You know,

283
00:15:54.919 --> 00:16:01.000
<v Speaker 4>Ohio as has always been a Republican state, and I

284
00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:05.159
<v Speaker 4>don't know, there's a lot going on. Some people that

285
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:08.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, could say something, they're really not saying anything,

286
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:12.440
<v Speaker 4>any kind of quiet. But yeah, I think here we're

287
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.039
<v Speaker 4>just sitting back and you have you.

288
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.039

<v Speaker 4>known as the rubber capital of the world. You know

300
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:57.960
<v Speaker 4>we manufactured uh tires, Well we still do, but small operations.

301
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:02.399
<v Speaker 4>But I worked for one of the major major corporations

302
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:04.640
<v Speaker 4>here in my location.

303
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Were you in the tire industry?

304
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:08.720
<v Speaker 4>Yes? Yes?

305
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.359
<v Speaker 2>And did you work You sound to me like you

306
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:13.720
<v Speaker 2>probably were a white collar guy.

307
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:21.440
<v Speaker 4>Yes, all of the material materials that go into uh

308
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:27.400
<v Speaker 4>building a tire. Uh, the department that I worked worked in, Uh,

309
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:34.480
<v Speaker 4>we tested all of the various materials and uh, you

310
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:42.240
<v Speaker 4>know that go into manufacturing building a tire. Yeah, I

311
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:51.759
<v Speaker 4>you know, some synthetic rubber, natural rubber. You'd be surprised

312
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:53.000
<v Speaker 4>what goes into attire.

313
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll bet, I'll bet you know. I thought that at

314
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.480
<v Speaker 2>one point met the mayor of Akron, Ohio here in

315
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Boston around the time of the Democratic Convention. And I'm

316
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.119
<v Speaker 2>looking at the list of your current mayor is a

317
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.240
<v Speaker 2>guy named Shamas Malik.

318
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:14.640
<v Speaker 4>As understand, really nice guy. I'm mad him. He's very personal,

319
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:15.559
<v Speaker 4>really nice guy.

320
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:22.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I for some reason, the name of the

321
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.039
<v Speaker 2>guy who was the mayor doesn't ring a bell. But

322
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:27.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure I had met the mayor of Akron, Ohio.

323
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:30.400
<v Speaker 2>And I was trying to figure I was trying to

324
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:32.960
<v Speaker 2>pull the name, but I can't of look at these

325
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:35.319
<v Speaker 2>pictures and names and say to you, yeah, I met

326
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:38.039
<v Speaker 2>that guy, was a younger guy, but I don't see

327
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:44.079
<v Speaker 2>him here. Don pasqually, he he was your mayor a

328
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:46.480
<v Speaker 2>long time eighty seven to twenty fifteen, which would have

329
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:49.519
<v Speaker 2>been around that time, but I don't remember remember him

330
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:51.279
<v Speaker 2>as being a younger guy, but I know it was

331
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:54.640
<v Speaker 2>around the time of the Democratic Convention here in Boston. Hey, Dallas,

332
00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:57.400
<v Speaker 2>is always great to hear your voice. I so much

333
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:02.200
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you calling in, and please continue to do so. Okay, sure, Dan,

334
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I will thank Okay, Bye bye, Ted and ever Ted,

335
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.319
<v Speaker 2>you're next on the nights. I go right ahead, a

336
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:11.200
<v Speaker 2>little closer to home, Ted, go ahead.

337
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:16.200
<v Speaker 6>Hey Dan, A long long time the last time we talked.

338
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:18.279
<v Speaker 6>I'm a big fan of Reagan and Tip on the

339
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:19.720
<v Speaker 6>out and that's what we need back.

340
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:20.240
<v Speaker 4>In this country.

341
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:24.519
<v Speaker 6>I worked my career in consumer goods for years, dealt

342
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.440
<v Speaker 6>with all the major supermarkets. I own convenience stores, so

343
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:31.160
<v Speaker 6>I get this whole thing from both sides. Uh. This

344
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:33.359
<v Speaker 6>is the third election I did not vote for either

345
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.880
<v Speaker 6>major candidate. Trump admitted right after he won that he

346
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.920
<v Speaker 6>couldn't do the price of eggs. And then the thing

347
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:42.119
<v Speaker 6>that you have to understand is I would encourage anybody.

348
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.440
<v Speaker 6>It was a great article with Times by Faris Stockman

349
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:47.920
<v Speaker 6>right before the vote to say this is what the

350
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.960
<v Speaker 6>Democrats need to do because the funms are all owned

351
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.319
<v Speaker 6>by big agriculture and the farmers in the South that

352
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:58.359
<v Speaker 6>were getting hurt the Biden administration actually tain't changed your

353
00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:01.440
<v Speaker 6>anti trust loss to help them that Trump was going

354
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:02.920
<v Speaker 6>to roll back. But they don't see it that way

355
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:05.039
<v Speaker 6>because they can't do the messaging. And when you I

356
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:07.680
<v Speaker 6>worked for a global Beholmes that when it was owned

357
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.559
<v Speaker 6>by the original people were very good. They would listen

358
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:13.559
<v Speaker 6>to us about price increases. We get sold out to

359
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:16.279
<v Speaker 6>private equity and they killed it because they just want

360
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:18.359
<v Speaker 6>more and more and more. And if you read last month,

361
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.920
<v Speaker 6>read away their earnings were so bad for last year.

362
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.240
<v Speaker 6>They're now doing this thing called value packages for lower prices.

363
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:27.920
<v Speaker 6>But gir also didn't get more air in the bag now.

364
00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:30.920
<v Speaker 6>I opened up a bag of popcorn last night and

365
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:34.160
<v Speaker 6>I couldn't believe it. It was twenty five percent full.

366
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:36.480
<v Speaker 6>Like literally, it looked like I already ate it before

367
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.599
<v Speaker 6>I opened it. And everything you said is true. People

368
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.319
<v Speaker 6>have to shop smart. Your guy at market Basket is

369
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.920
<v Speaker 6>totally off. I paid four fifty nine last week for

370
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:52.400
<v Speaker 6>eighteen eggs, eighteen brown eggs. They had a special package.

371
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.680
<v Speaker 6>So I just think that you know, it's depressing because

372
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:58.839
<v Speaker 6>I don't think anybody's hearing us and going from what

373
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:02.200
<v Speaker 6>you said on a state level to anywhere, because there

374
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 6>seems to be no accountability for anybody to do anything.

375
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:09.799
<v Speaker 6>And people get so fed up because they see so

376
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:12.680
<v Speaker 6>much stuff that's wrong. When I was in my convenience stores,

377
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:16.759
<v Speaker 6>you're forced to take EBT and all these programs when

378
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:19.279
<v Speaker 6>the people aren't spending the money correctly, and that could

379
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.160
<v Speaker 6>all be fixed immediately. That's all computer software. That's not

380
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:24.960
<v Speaker 6>a hard thing. But nobody wants to take the bull

381
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:28.440
<v Speaker 6>by the horns and look at stuff and say when

382
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.519
<v Speaker 6>you know, I shop now, I'm a little handicapped, I

383
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:34.839
<v Speaker 6>don't use my phone, I don't shop hungry, and I

384
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:36.839
<v Speaker 6>walk around and I buy what's needed. It's not like

385
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.240
<v Speaker 6>everyone acts like it's the Blizzard of seventy eight, like

386
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:41.559
<v Speaker 6>we're not going to go through times again. We're not

387
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:42.880
<v Speaker 6>going to be able to get to the market in

388
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:47.000
<v Speaker 6>a few days, and the supermarkets everywhere and this competition,

389
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:50.319
<v Speaker 6>and I think also people should have looked at Kroger

390
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:52.680
<v Speaker 6>and safe way we're going to merge. Last year, the

391
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.200
<v Speaker 6>Kroger CEO admitted to Congress that they price fixed through

392
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.640
<v Speaker 6>COVID admitted it, and the merger did not go through

393
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:02.680
<v Speaker 6>because they don't need to raise prices that much. And

394
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:05.240
<v Speaker 6>I think the difference is the bling in their class.

395
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:08.759
<v Speaker 6>Now there's not enough for them. It's you know, if

396
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:10.920
<v Speaker 6>they if they were going to drop something to help them,

397
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.680
<v Speaker 6>the stock fights might go on by a ten Okay,

398
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:15.640
<v Speaker 6>so maybe they're gonna make ninety million instead of one

399
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.640
<v Speaker 6>hundred and ten millions. And I firmly believe I'm probably

400
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.119
<v Speaker 6>a little younger than you. The generation you come from,

401
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.119
<v Speaker 6>the Reagan tippo'neals of the world. They had shared sacrifice

402
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.480
<v Speaker 6>because they went through stuff together, they could agree to

403
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:29.759
<v Speaker 6>disagree or whatever that at the end of the day,

404
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:34.400
<v Speaker 6>they try to do things and everything now it's I'm petrified.

405
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:34.519
<v Speaker 4>For the next year.

406
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:37.920
<v Speaker 6>I just think the Democrats plan seems to me is

407
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.160
<v Speaker 6>that they just want everything to go as bad as

408
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.559
<v Speaker 6>possible and then I hope they can do something in

409
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.319
<v Speaker 6>the mid terms. It just doesn't seem that I don't

410
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.680
<v Speaker 6>want to hear Liz warn and these people just ranting

411
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:51.440
<v Speaker 6>and raving that that's not it's you know better than us,

412
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:54.359
<v Speaker 6>you're an attorney. It's policy that matters. It's what are

413
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:57.440
<v Speaker 6>you going to do well. It's not my attitude work.

414
00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I want to give Trump a chance, just as they

415
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:04.880
<v Speaker 2>gave a biden Field miserably on a number of points internationally.

416
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:08.599
<v Speaker 2>I think that that I don't think he was in

417
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:15.319
<v Speaker 2>charge about you. We'll see what happens, see what happens.

418
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:18.759
<v Speaker 2>I got you in before the break, but I gotta

419
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I gotta scoot, and I got more calls coming in.

420
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for joining us. Please continue to listen,

421
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:26.160
<v Speaker 2>and I'd like you to call more off because you've

422
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.279
<v Speaker 2>got a point of view. Thank you. Good night. We'll

423
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:32.599
<v Speaker 2>be back on Nightside. I'm gonna get Jennifer, Matt and

424
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Christine in, I promise, and that'll probably do it for

425
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:38.200
<v Speaker 2>the night. But we're gonna end up strong. We'll be

426
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:38.880
<v Speaker 2>right back.

427
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 1>Now, back to Dan Ray Live from the Window World

428
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:46.559
<v Speaker 1>to Night Side Studios, IBZ News Radio.

429
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, back we go. We gonna get everyone in.

430
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:54.559
<v Speaker 2>Gonna start it off with Jennifer in Boston. Jennifer next

431
00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:59.640
<v Speaker 2>time nights, I go right ahead, Jennifer. Good, what's your

432
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:02.240
<v Speaker 2>take on all of this price of eggs and things that?

433
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:09.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'm a pretty savage opera so yeah, I typically

434
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:15.400
<v Speaker 5>I don't buy things unless it's on sale, Like I'm

435
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:17.880
<v Speaker 5>that might stock a little bit too, like it depending

436
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:22.000
<v Speaker 5>on the shelf life or whatever it is, or space

437
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:27.400
<v Speaker 5>is a factor too. But anyway, with eggs, I typically

438
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:31.759
<v Speaker 5>get those at market Basket, and I got two or

439
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:36.119
<v Speaker 5>three different brands, and I usually get the organic cage

440
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:41.039
<v Speaker 5>free variety. Pet and berries is my uh yeah, but

441
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:44.799
<v Speaker 5>I don't mind, so, you know. But it's not a

442
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:49.279
<v Speaker 5>bad price either. So in market basket, I find there's

443
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:53.000
<v Speaker 5>Pet and Jerry's Medium and they're organic and a K

444
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:58.000
<v Speaker 5>Tree and they're under four dollars for a dozen. Yeah, yeah,

445
00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:02.640
<v Speaker 5>and that price has not changed yet. There's another variety

446
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.119
<v Speaker 5>I get that's no pride, I think, and they're like

447
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:12.319
<v Speaker 5>an armorish farm from Pennsylvania. And that one is an

448
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:17.079
<v Speaker 5>eighteen pack. It was three point fifty and now that

449
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:21.880
<v Speaker 5>did increase to only four dollars. No, yeah, not that

450
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:26.119
<v Speaker 5>at all. I also shop at Stop and Shop and

451
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:29.920
<v Speaker 5>I utilize like their gas points and whatever. I save

452
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:36.079
<v Speaker 5>a lot of money there, and they are the shelves

453
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:40.640
<v Speaker 5>of bear. The prices were like nine to thirteen dollars,

454
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:45.519
<v Speaker 5>I think, yeah, And I don't buy mints there. And

455
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.519
<v Speaker 5>then then I shop at all these and traded Joe's occasionally,

456
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:50.799
<v Speaker 5>like you know, if I'm in the neighborhood or whatever

457
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:55.759
<v Speaker 5>in PJ. So you know, but you know, I have

458
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:58.000

460
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:05.599
<v Speaker 5>you know, like with turkeys this this year when it

475
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:45.119
<v Speaker 2>call a little earlier. You're an interesting personal like to

476
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:46.480
<v Speaker 2>give you more time, but I got a couple of

477
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.920
<v Speaker 2>more calls we want to get into. Okay, thanks, have

478
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:51.079
<v Speaker 2>a great night. Let me go next to Matt. Matt,

479
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:53.000
<v Speaker 2>you were next on Nightsiger. Right ahead, Matt.

480
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:57.160
<v Speaker 6>Heyden, I'm gonna be quick.

481
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:00.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean the price, yahyeah, yeah, yeah, you got it.

482
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:03.359
<v Speaker 7>Uh no, No, they're definitely gone up. One thing I

483
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:06.759
<v Speaker 7>stay consistent with is I always get pastor raised eggs

484
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:13.160
<v Speaker 7>from Wegmans, and there's consistently seven books for a dozen.

485
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.279
<v Speaker 7>The only tid that I could say is that the

486
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:21.720
<v Speaker 7>stuff cage free and pass raised have stayed consistent. As

487
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:24.400
<v Speaker 7>I called it before, just said that's where the food

488
00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:30.240
<v Speaker 7>wasn't affected. Pastor rays were affected seventy percent caged. So

489
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.240
<v Speaker 7>that's all I could say is you know.

490
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:35.799
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting. I didn't realize that.

491
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:39.680
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, all right, yeah, yeah, well you have something in

492
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:41.519
<v Speaker 7>a cage just living right on top of each other.

493
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well that's the point when you think about it,

494
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:45.960
<v Speaker 2>that's that's exactly the point.

495
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:49.599
<v Speaker 7>And that's why that's why I want to hit it.

496
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:51.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, yeah.

497
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:53.400
<v Speaker 7>And it's healthier to eat too. It's it's worth the

498
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:54.200
<v Speaker 7>extra couple of books.

499
00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Yep. I would agree with them that as well. Thanks buddy,

500
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the talk soon, Okay, great, great call, and we're going

501
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:04.480
<v Speaker 2>to wrap it up with Christine. Christine, you were next

502
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:06.319
<v Speaker 2>on Nightside. You're going to wrap the show for us.

503
00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Go right ahead, Christine.

504
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:10.559
<v Speaker 8>Okay, a couple of weeks ago, I paid the same

505
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:14.400
<v Speaker 8>price at Stop and Chop eggs, same price like for

506
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 8>everybody's saying.

507
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.599
<v Speaker 2>So how much five dollars? You mean four fifty or

508
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:19.160
<v Speaker 2>something like that.

509
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:24.880
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yes, yep, it's crazy of theog eggs.

510
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:26.920
<v Speaker 3>Really it is.

511
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:29.759
<v Speaker 2>But but how long did do a dozen eggs last

512
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:30.400
<v Speaker 2>in your house?

513
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:36.640
<v Speaker 8>About? Maybe just past not even enough to pass a week?

514
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Really? Okay, so you're you're an egg either, Okay, So

515
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:44.359
<v Speaker 2>so that's costed you Normally they would have cost what

516
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:48.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe let's say a dollar ninety nine, It was costing

517
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.599
<v Speaker 2>you two dollars and fifty cents per week extra extra.

518
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:55.799
<v Speaker 2>Now when when you were when you were filling your

519
00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:58.799
<v Speaker 2>car up with gas, and gas was two dollars a

520
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:03.480
<v Speaker 2>gallon extra, and you were throwing ten gallons in your

521
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.039
<v Speaker 2>in your guest tank every week, that was twenty dollars extra.

522
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:10.440
<v Speaker 2>So you're going to keep it in perspective here as

523
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:11.440
<v Speaker 2>far as I'm conscared.

524
00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:14.920
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, And have you heard rooms that's Stop and Top's

00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:17.400
<v Speaker 8>you heard that?

00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.039
<v Speaker 2>I know that that they've had some demonstrations over there,

528
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:24.039
<v Speaker 2>and it sounds like they may have a they may

529
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:27.960
<v Speaker 2>have a problem. But there are other other companies, you know,

530

542
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:12.440

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:14.680
<v Speaker 2>for gas and electricity, and the high price of eggs.

546
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:26.759

547
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:29.799
<v Speaker 2>going to bring bring prices down is if we have

548
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.640
<v Speaker 2>the ability to say I don't need that package of cookies.

549
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:35.519
<v Speaker 2>I might like to have that package of cookies, but
