Speaker 2: going to be a modified Taco Tuesday because we are
Speaker 2: going to elect and vote on the best taco in
Speaker 2: Southern California. And of course we have the majors Del
Speaker 2: Taco and Taco Bell, and then there are a few
Speaker 2: third party tacos out there that are not particularly well known,
Speaker 2: but it'll be one of the two big ones. It'll
Speaker 2: be either Taco Bell or Del Taco. And we are
Speaker 2: also going to vote on Tuesday. Hey, don't say that
Speaker 2: we're not politically connected on this show.
Speaker 3: Well, done.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Neil, Good morning to you.
Speaker 3: Willie Wolf. Good morning.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: By the way, I have to give you kudos yesterday
Speaker 2: that very strong. We were talking about Neil now doing
Speaker 2: more commercials in the morning than before, and we somehow
Speaker 2: mentioned that he was following my train, if you will,
Speaker 2: my lead, and he mentioned that I am his mentor.
Speaker 2: I've gotten a I got a couple of compliments on
Speaker 2: that one, Neil for you.
Speaker 3: Well, I will tell you it's all true, sir.
Speaker 1: Every bit of it. Amy, Good morning, Hi Bill.
Speaker 2: They're your Dodgers, I know, just one went away. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they're gonna do a sweep. And now are they
Speaker 2: going to sweep?
Speaker 5: I don't know. You know what New York. New York's
Speaker 5: a great team. So and they had a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 5: They just didn't capitalize on them.
Speaker 2: I will tell you the group that is screaming the
Speaker 2: loudest for the Yankees to win is our iHeart Sales.
Speaker 5: Team, because if the Dodgers lose, we get more games.
Speaker 2: If the Dodgers, that's it, that's exactly, that's exactly it.
Speaker 2: They pray for a game seven. But if it's a sweep, well,
Speaker 2: you know, it's still good. Though it's still good. This
Speaker 2: is why Kayles am Fox AM Sports five five seventy.
Speaker 2: Our sisters say down the Hall is doing so well
Speaker 2: because they have the Dodgers. We don't even have a
Speaker 2: little league team. Well we should get one, all right, Kno,
Speaker 2: good morning morning Bill and and good morning.
Speaker 3: Good morning Bill.
Speaker 1: Hey, how about those padres huh shut up provocation? J
Speaker 1: thought i'd throw that at you.
Speaker 2: Oh, and you can literally say how about them Yankees, which,
Speaker 2: of course is uh a term of art that has
Speaker 2: been around for a very very long time.
Speaker 1: You're looking at me like it's weird. That is actually a.
Speaker 3: Term I always look at you weird?
Speaker 1: What the hell is? First?
Speaker 3: Shut up at Uh?
Speaker 1: See? I know I get paid for this.
Speaker 2: Okay, guys, you have to understand that it's my job
Speaker 2: and a job for you to make fun of me.
Speaker 1: Oh, yesterday during the when.
Speaker 2: We did the promo entering the show, and we repeated
Speaker 2: that little little discussion Amy that we had about you
Speaker 2: being the voice of Ways, which is really kind of neat,
Speaker 2: and I asked you for you the voice of Scooby Do.
Speaker 2: There really is a Scooby Doo voice on Ways. And
Speaker 2: I don't know how many voices they do. There's the
Speaker 2: British voice, the upper Cross British voice.
Speaker 1: Uh don't they have like a Liverpool or yeah?
Speaker 5: And then they have voicey bands and they had they
Speaker 5: had Morgan Freeman for a while, so you basically had
Speaker 5: the voice of God for a while, but they rotate
Speaker 5: him in and out. They've had Kentucky Fried Chicken like
Speaker 5: Gernal Santrol.
Speaker 3: I have paw Patrol online right now.
Speaker 5: Paw Patrol tells you how to ghost places. Wait a second,
Speaker 5: you don't have me telling you where to go places.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have Amy on mine and then you go
Speaker 3: to pa Patrol. Oh uh huh, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: I just I don't even know who's on my way,
Speaker 1: so I just don't pay attention. Is it's no, it's
Speaker 1: some American gallon. I guess it's you, right?
Speaker 2: Are you the one American voice that's there? American female
Speaker 2: voice that's there?
Speaker 5: I am the first, I'm the original voice of the voice.
Speaker 1: That's impress stuff.
Speaker 3: Just use Amy, go to Amy.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 2: I also didn't mention we were talking yesterday, think it
Speaker 2: was during the break Mark Dennis who used to be
Speaker 2: and did I mention this on the air. Okay, Mark
Speaker 2: Dennis who used to be okay, it used to be
Speaker 2: our traffic guy for years and years.
Speaker 1: They end up unfortunately untimely dying. And he was the
Speaker 1: voice of the mono rail.
Speaker 2: You'd go on the montrail at Disneyland and you'd hear
Speaker 2: the I'm your hello, this is your captain. And today
Speaker 2: we're going on the monorail system, which we're going to
Speaker 2: take you no place and you're dead.
Speaker 1: You know that one. And he was the voice for
Speaker 1: years and years and years. So look at that.
Speaker 2: We have voices here. Impressive, Yeah, very impressive. All right, boy,
Speaker 2: do we have some stuff to cover today. Let's start
Speaker 2: with a handle on the news with Amy Neil and
Speaker 2: me lead story story about the ballot ballot drop boxes.
Speaker 2: A couple of them, three of them were lit on
Speaker 2: fire or last night in the Portland, Oregon area and
Speaker 2: then in Vancouver, Washington, right across the river, and it
Speaker 2: was well, it's being hailed or it's being described as
Speaker 2: a terrorist act. And the problem is which side did this?
Speaker 2: Because these races are hotly contested, I mean it is
Speaker 2: razor thin. So who is going to gain by this
Speaker 2: other than there are well, well, let me put it
Speaker 2: this way, the Republicans are arguing that dropboxes should not
Speaker 2: be allowed. Democrats are arguing that drop boxes should. So
Speaker 2: I am going to guess that was probably someone on
Speaker 2: the right. I may be wrong, by the way, because
Speaker 2: it's it makes sense that either one of the parties
Speaker 2: it was primarily Democrat or primarily Republican.
Speaker 1: That would be an easy one.
Speaker 5: To say, or it could be neither because it was
Speaker 5: in Portland and they had the anarchists out in full
Speaker 5: true for months after the George Floyd.
Speaker 2: Right, there's that and and thank you for bringing that up.
Speaker 1: You beat me to that punch, and you're right. So
Speaker 1: we don't know.
Speaker 2: Is it is it political? Is it anarchy? Is it
Speaker 2: just some pranksters? You know, there was a period of
Speaker 2: time in Canada, for example, their idea of terrorism in
Speaker 2: the seventies, uh is they would blow up mailboxes right
Speaker 2: around the world. Airplanes were being blown up and buildings
Speaker 2: were being blown up. It was the FLQ, I think
Speaker 2: was the name of the group.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: They would go around blowing up mailboxes. That's with their
Speaker 2: idea of terrorism. And it was just sheer anarchy.
Speaker 1: So there are there's a way and they I'm not
Speaker 1: going to go through it.
Speaker 2: But people who've their ballots were lost can easily redo
Speaker 2: their ballot.
Speaker 3: Yeah they know the time frame.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah they do.
Speaker 2: And then you call up and you go see if
Speaker 2: they if it was received or not.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's my turn, it is. State Farm has some
Speaker 3: splate to do. So.
Speaker 5: State Farm is California's largest home insure and it's now
Speaker 5: being accused of boosting the profits of its parent company
Speaker 5: at the expense of state policyholders. It all has to
Speaker 5: do with reinsurance and selling reinsurance and then not getting
Speaker 5: bunch back for it. But while they did this sales
Speaker 5: of reinsurance and boosted the profits, they're now saying we're
Speaker 5: in financial distress and need a thirty percent hike reinsurance.
Speaker 2: It's insurance companies buying insurance so that they too are.
Speaker 1: Insured against the risk.
Speaker 2: And in this case, the problem is is that State
Speaker 2: Farm owned the reinsurance company, so State Farm would overpay
Speaker 2: for their reinsurance to their own company and then claim
Speaker 2: losses on the underlying company were broke.
Speaker 1: Look how much money were losing.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because you're spending all your money paying too
Speaker 2: much for reinsurance with your parent company and That is
Speaker 2: what is going on right now with these folks. By
Speaker 2: the way, the reinsurance industry is almost as big as
Speaker 2: the insurance industry, and people don't really know that bottom
Speaker 2: line insurance you have to have.
Speaker 1: It's like you hate them, you lose them.
Speaker 2: I don't know where I was going to go with that.
Speaker 2: Never mind, I want to take will move on now,
Speaker 2: we will move on. There was I was going to
Speaker 2: do something. There was a catchphrase there I was going
Speaker 2: to use, and I was going to be It even
Speaker 2: tangled me up. You know how I go off on
Speaker 2: tangents that no one understands what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: This one. I didn't even know where I was going
Speaker 1: to go.
Speaker 3: Well, maybe it's time for ways for your brain.
Speaker 4: It is Israel's parliament. This is another weird decision has
Speaker 4: voted to ban a nearly eight decade old United Nations
Speaker 4: agency that provides essential services for Palestinian refugees. So obviously
Speaker 4: it's going to have horrible consequences for millions of Palestinians
Speaker 4: living under Israeli occupation. Move is expected to severely restrict
Speaker 4: you and Relief and Works agency for Palestinian refugees.
Speaker 2: So now this agency and has tens of thousands of employees.
Speaker 2: Israel has accused it for years of having pro Palestinian
Speaker 2: terrorist members.
Speaker 1: That's the accusation for years.
Speaker 2: And the accusation was also some members of UNRA were
Speaker 2: part of the October seventh attack, and so Israel has
Speaker 2: And by the way, I don't know if that's true
Speaker 2: or not.
Speaker 3: Why hearing about that now?
Speaker 1: No, We've been hearing about that forever. Oh, that's been here,
Speaker 1: that's been going on forever.
Speaker 4: I understand they've made those claims. Yeah, Why then why
Speaker 4: are they just now voting on that?
Speaker 1: Because two things.
Speaker 2: One, the government is that right wing there at war
Speaker 2: and as I've said many many times, Israel, if you
Speaker 2: look at Israel's side, they have just reached their limit.
Speaker 2: They are done. It's that simple and there. And as
Speaker 2: I've said, you know, I think what they want the
Speaker 2: Palestinians as well as the Lebanese to say, it's not
Speaker 2: worth it. It is simply not worth it. You have
Speaker 2: to leave Israel alone, although Israel has to leave them
Speaker 2: alone because if you look at this right right wing government,
Speaker 2: Palestine will never be a state. There's those such thing
Speaker 2: as a two state area. According to the Natayahu government.
Speaker 2: So it's one huge cluster truck over there and it
Speaker 2: doesn't stop. But again, the civilians and these people are
Speaker 2: really going to get nailed because ever since the occupation,
Speaker 2: ever since the sixty seven war, these Palestinians have relied
Speaker 2: on the United Nations.
Speaker 1: They can't feed themselves. Let's move on.
Speaker 5: The US is talking a little tougher than it's don't
Speaker 5: warning to Iran. The US has warned Iran at the
Speaker 5: United Nations Security Council that there would be severe consequences
Speaker 5: if it takes any more aggressive action against Israel or
Speaker 5: US personnel in the Middle East. The US also said
Speaker 5: it does not want to see further escalation.
Speaker 2: And that's sort of going both ways because here's what
Speaker 2: happened because of the attack, the October seventh attack, and
Speaker 2: then October eighth, the incursion into Gaza by Israel.
Speaker 1: So there's the war.
Speaker 2: Hezblah in the north does its thing in solidarity. Iran
Speaker 2: does its thing. Although the Iranian the leader or one
Speaker 2: of the leaders military leader of Iran was killed in
Speaker 2: Lebanon and there was a huge uproar in Iran on
Speaker 2: that one, and so Iran attacks Israel.
Speaker 1: Israel comes back.
Speaker 2: Retaliates, and now, okay, let's everybody calm down. Israel has
Speaker 2: said no more, we're done, and Iran has sort of
Speaker 2: hinted no more, We're done, sort of, And now everybody's waiting.
Speaker 2: Is Iran going to retaliate against Israel's last retaliation and
Speaker 2: if so, be prepared for its oil terminals resources to
Speaker 2: get blown up, and also its nuclear facilities are going
Speaker 2: to get all blown up, and then its full scale war.
Speaker 2: And it's not going to be an air war. There's
Speaker 2: not gonna be any incursion. There is no real army.
Speaker 2: All Iran really has missiles. Israel has everything.
Speaker 3: Else, something to look forward to. Oh yeah, all right.
Speaker 4: So Jeff Bezos, as we know, owns the Washington Post,
Speaker 4: he said, we're not going to do any of the
Speaker 4: endorsements on the presidential race.
Speaker 3: There was everybody was up in arms.
Speaker 4: I think he lost to what eight percent or so
Speaker 4: of the subscribers, which was around two hundred thousand folks there.
Speaker 4: But he defended this move in a very rare op
Speaker 4: ed piece published yesterday. He said the presidential endorsements do
Speaker 4: nothing to tip the scales of an election. He went
Speaker 4: on to say, no undecided voters in Pennsylvania are going
Speaker 4: to say, I'm going with this newspaper or that newspaper's endorsement.
Speaker 3: None, he said.
Speaker 4: What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias,
Speaker 4: a perception of non independence. Ending them is a principal decision,
Speaker 4: and it's the right one.
Speaker 1: Coming up at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2: I'm going to jump into this and talk about why
Speaker 2: that is not true or may not be true, and
Speaker 2: the importance or non importance of an editorial and an endorsement.
Speaker 1: That's coming up at seven o'clock.
Speaker 5: Airlines being held accountable. Starting now, airlines in the un
Speaker 5: US are now required to give you a cash refund
Speaker 5: if your flight is significantly delayed or canceled, even if
Speaker 5: you don't specifically ask for that refund. It's a federal
Speaker 5: rule that requires the airlines to dole out refunds that
Speaker 5: went into effect yesterday, enforced by the Department of Transportation.
Speaker 5: The big change is being implemented just a month before
Speaker 5: the start of what is likely to be a very
Speaker 5: busy holiday season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, prior to this, you could get a refund, but
Speaker 2: you had to aggressively ask for it and argue. I
Speaker 2: remember there was a Southwest flight I was on and
Speaker 2: it was canceled. And I went up to the gate
Speaker 2: and I went up to the desk and I said, hey,
Speaker 2: you know I missed my flight. I paid a couple
Speaker 2: hundred dollars. Can I get my money back? And it
Speaker 2: was no, speak English, no no.
Speaker 1: But thank you for jumping in on that one.
Speaker 3: You never know with air lines, That's true, all right.
Speaker 4: This is an interesting turnaround, Rancho Palos Verdes. The homeowners
Speaker 4: there in the Greater Portuguese Bend where the landslide is
Speaker 4: and all that horrible, that plague of the shifting land
Speaker 4: and all of that, well they're being offered a forty
Speaker 4: two million dollars voluntary buyout. And this is from FEMA
Speaker 4: in the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services. So FEMA
Speaker 4: has allocated funding for this program based on federally declared
Speaker 4: California disaster for that winter storm between January thirty first
Speaker 4: and February ninth of this year.
Speaker 3: And so that may be an out for people.
Speaker 2: Oh, that is going to be an out because every
Speaker 2: single person has to obviously get the money or will
Speaker 2: take the money.
Speaker 1: This is pre disaster appraisals.
Speaker 2: What was the house worth before the landslide happened. Here's
Speaker 2: federal money. But telling me they're they're going to be
Speaker 2: thrilled that now you could probably buy it and you
Speaker 2: want to make an herb garden. It's hey, you'll get
Speaker 2: that land for two bucks.
Speaker 5: Except it's forty three million dollars. Is that total because
Speaker 5: there's over two hundred houses.
Speaker 1: It depends.
Speaker 2: Well, it wouldn't be because if you're talking about that's
Speaker 2: a very good point because we're talking about bench of
Speaker 2: palace Verdice, which is a very expensive place. And you're right,
Speaker 2: But they're saying that this story is saying they're offering
Speaker 2: fair market value on these properties fifty dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, whenever eminent domain kicks in and the government takes
Speaker 2: land and they pay quote a fair price.
Speaker 1: For it, it instantly, it instantly goes to court.
Speaker 2: You know why, because their definition of a fair price
Speaker 2: is very different than your definition of a fair price.
Speaker 5: Well, some TikTokers are in big trouble now. Chase is
Speaker 5: suing some of its customers over a fraud scandal that
Speaker 5: went viral on TikTok over the summer. You might remember
Speaker 5: that customers were depositing checks that they had written to
Speaker 5: themselves and then immediately pulling the funds out before the
Speaker 5: checks actually cleared and well or bounced, which they were
Speaker 5: going to do. And it was because of a glitch
Speaker 5: in the system that allowed customers to take all the
Speaker 5: money out immediately as opposed to having to wait for it.
Speaker 5: So now Chase is suing at least four customers, four
Speaker 5: suits filed so far, and say that they owe the
Speaker 5: bank nearly six hundred and sixty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: Like one of the guys apparently cashed a check for
Speaker 5: three hundred and thirty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but how much can you take out of an ATM?
Speaker 5: Well, there was a Oh that's a good point, but
Speaker 5: there was a glitch in the system that allowed him
Speaker 5: to How does an ATM.
Speaker 1: Keep that much money in? Yeah, in the bank.
Speaker 3: What are they on the barbage?
Speaker 4: They have maybe thirty thousand dollars in an ATM or something.
Speaker 1: Or they could have gone in and taking it.
Speaker 2: We don't know how they did that because it's a
Speaker 2: CNN story, and some of these stories from all kinds
Speaker 2: of news agencies don't explain they don't go deep enough.
Speaker 3: Oh, well, good on them.
Speaker 5: Well to the people who thought that they could just
Speaker 5: go and write a check to themselves and they didn't
Speaker 5: have the money to back it up and get that
Speaker 5: money and keep it.
Speaker 3: Hello. Yeah, not a smart group of individuals, is my guess.
Speaker 5: Unless they got the money, which sounds like they did initially.
Speaker 1: What makes them pretty smart.
Speaker 3: Actually, no, because now they've got to pay it back.
Speaker 1: No, they're not. This is a lawsuit. Yeah, they were
Speaker 1: still with the bank.
Speaker 2: They're gonna get the bank's gonna go, oh, we're gonna
Speaker 2: stop all funds, et cetera.
Speaker 1: They have to call the police and they have to
Speaker 1: be arrested. It's just theft, that's correct, all right, Neil.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: Sean Comb's accused of sexually assaulting a ten year old
Speaker 4: now from Los Angeles in this new lawsuit. What a
Speaker 4: horrible story. So this goes back to two thousand and five.
Speaker 4: The parents of this ten year old boy from Los
Speaker 4: Angeles sought to help their son's career, and they flew
Speaker 4: him to New York at the time to meet people
Speaker 4: in music industry, and apparently Sean Combs told a consultant
Speaker 4: that the family hired that he wanted to meet the boy,
Speaker 4: but he wanted to meet him alone, gave him a
Speaker 4: soda that made the kid feel funny, by the boy's account,
Speaker 4: and essentially raped him. By this accusation, there's another seventeen
Speaker 4: year old male who said that he was molested. I
Speaker 4: say Sean Combs as well.
Speaker 1: This is quickly.
Speaker 2: It's not already gotten to the Weinstein case or the
Speaker 2: Bill Cosby case.
Speaker 1: No didn't do it. No didn't do it.
Speaker 2: Well, after you hit thirty or forty people coming forward,
Speaker 2: then maybe I.
Speaker 3: Think this is going to be big of all than
Speaker 3: all those combined.
Speaker 1: I think it is. I think you're right. Bill Cosby
Speaker 1: is huge. Bill Cosby was enormous.
Speaker 2: But you're right.
Speaker 3: This together, You're right.
Speaker 1: This may do it. This may do it.
Speaker 5: Who's on fire on the field. That would be Freddy
Speaker 5: Freeman and fans are elevenant. The Dodgers Yankees World Series
Speaker 5: has drawn the best ratings in years. For games one
Speaker 5: and two. The Dodgers and Yankees are averaging fourteen and
Speaker 5: a half million viewers a game, and this is the
Speaker 5: most to start the world series since twenty seventeen when
Speaker 5: the Dodgers played Houston.
Speaker 2: I'm going to do a story about the value of
Speaker 2: these teams and their brand coming up at seven fifty
Speaker 2: and it's interesting. But when you talk about fourteen million viewers,
Speaker 2: wasn't there a time that when you had the only
Speaker 2: radio and you'd have the World Series and three quarters
Speaker 2: of America would be.
Speaker 1: Tuning in.
Speaker 2: Or in the days of only the three networks and
Speaker 2: it was covered on television. H the that's something to
Speaker 2: ask you a serious a matter of fact, that's a
Speaker 2: good question.
Speaker 3: A bunch of hoops.
Speaker 2: What was the largest television audience for any World Series game?
Speaker 3: Your mom?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: Uh no, Megan Trainer, uh. Song and lyrics Spotify. I
Speaker 2: think they got this wrong.
Speaker 3: Okay, you know.
Speaker 2: That's something we're going to talk about later on with
Speaker 2: White Dubuski.
Speaker 1: He's not.
Speaker 2: Rich is not into day Mike is and Apple they're
Speaker 2: using new AI and one of the things ish Siri
Speaker 2: won't sound as stupid, uh, according to Apple, So we'll.
Speaker 4: Fight all about Okay, Well, let's hope those bats aren't
Speaker 4: made out of this tree. The world's trees are in
Speaker 4: critical danger. Staggering number of tree species teetering on the
Speaker 4: brink of extinction, according to a new global analysis analysis
Speaker 4: that was released just yesterday. So they for about a
Speaker 4: decade or so, they do this project and they poke
Speaker 4: around and look at the trees and see which ones
Speaker 4: are dying off.
Speaker 3: One in three tree species.
Speaker 4: Are threatened with extinction, and which is you know, a
Speaker 4: maser major crisis at this point. It's important to the ecosystem,
Speaker 4: it's important to our breathing. It's important to all kinds
Speaker 4: of things, food for and shelter for, wildlife, medicine, all
Speaker 4: kinds of things comes from trees.
Speaker 3: So treat your trees better.
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, that scary stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, super scary.
Speaker 2: Those analy it's climate change, a lot of it, a
Speaker 2: lot of it that doesn't exist.
Speaker 3: That just covers everything. Huh.
Speaker 1: Pretty much.
Speaker 4: That's the thanks Obama of like the world, thanks climate change.
Speaker 5: Bannon's back. Steve Bannon has been released from federal prison.
Speaker 5: He was an advisor to former President Trump. He was
Speaker 5: convicted in twenty twenty two on two counts of contempt
Speaker 5: of Congress for refusing to comply with the subpoena from
Speaker 5: the houselect Committee that was investigating the January sixth riot.
Speaker 5: He served a four month ter term. He is out
Speaker 5: and already planning a news conference for later today.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: The fun part of this story, Amy is Mike Lindell,
Speaker 2: the my Pillow guy, Oh Boy, is celebrating Bannon's release
Speaker 2: by offering free pillows, free dead cats or dogs, plus
Speaker 2: shipping and handling and you have to put in the
Speaker 2: relevant discount code Bannon.
Speaker 4: Well, I just hope Steve Bannon didn't let himself go
Speaker 4: while he was in prison.
Speaker 3: That's a joke. He always looks disheveled. Oh anyhow, okay McDonald's.
Speaker 4: You remember you've talked about Yes, we've actually have talked
Speaker 4: about Taylor, the company that owns the copyright and exclusive
Speaker 4: rights to fix these machines, the ice cream machine, those
Speaker 4: flurry machine, mcfluury machines. Well, the reason that they're broken
Speaker 4: all the time is that legally they're not allowed to
Speaker 4: have a third party fix them. Taylor has to come
Speaker 4: in and they're like years you know, backed up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they made the machine, don't they, And you can
Speaker 2: only do maintenance if you sell that machine.
Speaker 1: They have to do the maintenance. Nobody.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the deal.
Speaker 4: These uh, they have these locks, these digital locks on them.
Speaker 4: It prevents them from being fixed by anybody but them,
Speaker 4: but the United States Copyright Office is granted. And we
Speaker 4: talked about this some time ago that this was possibly coming.
Speaker 4: They granted a copyright exempt last week that gives restaurants
Speaker 4: the right to repair the machines by bypassing that digital
Speaker 4: lock that I talked about. So this should have started
Speaker 4: yesterday and so you'll probably start seeing these these machines
Speaker 4: back in actually.
Speaker 1: Back on board. That's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a website called mcbroken dot com that will
Speaker 2: tell you which machines and which McDonald's have functioning machines.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like user fed and people would go and say, hey,
Speaker 4: this one isn't working, and I hope this takes care
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 1: I love their soft serve. I think it's the best
Speaker 1: soft serve out there.
