Speaker 1: Sometimes it's produced, sometimes it's acoustic. Sometimes I go and
Speaker 1: I get a producer and do a full musical score
Speaker 1: to it. But I collect some of the celebrity deaths
Speaker 1: or local debts and I work it into a song.
Speaker 1: And you know, songs work a lot of times with rhyming,
Speaker 1: and yeah, so we just kind of remember those who
Speaker 1: have passed.
Speaker 2: That's the best way. I like it when you perfom
Speaker 2: it live, honestly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like doing it live too. Yeah. So we'll
Speaker 1: do it live at five fifty ish today, Okay, don't
Speaker 1: miss that. It'll be fun and a lot of other stuff,
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. It's a It's one of those
Speaker 1: things where this the show might sound a little off
Speaker 1: to you if you're listening, because Ben and Skin aren't
Speaker 1: here and it is the Ben and Skin show. But
Speaker 1: I hope we Christina and I have kind of kept
Speaker 1: it feeling the same, uh, and I have decided it
Speaker 1: feels the same. I'm starting the show off with business news, Christina.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
Speaker 1: Three stories from the world of business are going to
Speaker 1: start the day, and we will start with a local
Speaker 1: one here. Washington Post is going after one of our
Speaker 1: Texas treasures. Yes, those libs up there in Washington. Here
Speaker 1: is what the story says from a Washington Post. The Post.
Speaker 1: The article is tied what happened to Waterburger?
Speaker 2: What happen?
Speaker 1: What is the deal? The writer is of this articles
Speaker 1: a a guy the name of Omar Galaga loves arcade games.
Speaker 2: Yep, beat me to it and smashing watermelons.
Speaker 1: And he is a Texas based guy. Mm hmm, you're Gallagher.
Speaker 1: Joke snuck in there, the Texas based guy. And so
Speaker 1: in this article he takes one TikTok post and it's
Speaker 1: a guy in Hazlet. I just love the Washington Post
Speaker 1: is somehow got their hands in hazl It. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: makes me happy. And the guy in Hazlett posted a
Speaker 1: video after a bad experience that he had at a
Speaker 1: Fort Worth Waterburger. He said he had the wrong order
Speaker 1: and twenty five minutes of waiting, to which I say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: don't be a caring about it.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, that does happen. You don't have to
Speaker 2: tell the Washington Post that that's true. It's like, just
Speaker 2: be a normal person. It happens to everyone. Some people
Speaker 2: have bad days.
Speaker 1: Well, he made the video on TikTok Okay.
Speaker 2: Wait, did he get the chicken fingers? Because that's usually
Speaker 2: what takes twenty five minutes? Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, thing, did you order something that's not easy to
Speaker 1: put together there?
Speaker 2: Do you want your food fresh or no?
Speaker 1: His name is Jim Fitz and he says in that
Speaker 1: TikTok video, don't go to Warburger anymore. Ever since they
Speaker 1: got bought out, it's been trash.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So then he spoke with the Washington Post and he
Speaker 1: said it's just been a string of bad experiences and
Speaker 1: Waterburger despite like anyone, do you think they've been very successful?
Speaker 1: I think twenty twenty three was their most profitable year ever.
Speaker 1: I mean, like they're doing great.
Speaker 2: Would anyone doubt that they weren't doing great?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I remember having concerns when they were bought
Speaker 1: out years ago, just as we all did just Chexas based. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't need Chicago coming in here buying
Speaker 1: my Texas.
Speaker 2: It's not changing anything, it's not. It's okay.
Speaker 1: So another person, and that was interviewing this article says,
Speaker 1: when when friends or family come from out of state,
Speaker 1: it's not Waterburger they want to go to anymore, it's BUCkies.
Speaker 1: Oh well, which, as someone who's got North Carolina family, yep, absolutely, everyone.
Speaker 2: Loves okay real quick. When we drove to Houston, there
Speaker 2: are two BUCkies on the way to Houston, both packed completely.
Speaker 2: Both times we left Saturday midday packed, came back Sunday night,
Speaker 2: late night packed.
Speaker 1: And that trip to Houston is it's normally not a
Speaker 1: bad drive.
Speaker 2: The way back suck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the way back does suck, but going down there
Speaker 1: you still have your you know, I don't know, you're
Speaker 1: still excited about what you're going to do. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: way back always sucks, right, But I agree with you
Speaker 1: on those two BUCkies specifically, it's insane even if you like,
Speaker 1: I need to get gas.
Speaker 2: Too, Exactly, I can't and we had to and I
Speaker 2: had to fill up my tires too. I just don't
Speaker 2: understand it, but that he is correct on that people
Speaker 2: do say BUCkies now over Waterburger is a.
Speaker 1: Guy who gets to stand when I go number one.
Speaker 1: BUCkies are nice in that regard for you, right, Oh, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's another thing that I think we look over if
Speaker 1: anyone has anything bad to say about BUCkies. I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear anything bad from women about BUCkies. Oh,
Speaker 1: because you get to sit on a nice, clean toilet.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna let us talk.
Speaker 1: No, no, and men who have to poop too. But
Speaker 1: I just don't, you.
Speaker 2: Know, pristine bathrooms. Yeah, I don't think I've heard any No,
Speaker 2: I think i've heard anyone complain about BUCkies besides it
Speaker 2: being packed. Like I just said other World.
Speaker 1: Of Business news. Have you ever been to a Big Lots?
Speaker 2: Yes, so I bought some furniture from Big Lots in college.
Speaker 2: Actually really nice furniture, good price. Thank you, Big Lots.
Speaker 1: Well, they are apparently closing up shop oh, going out
Speaker 1: of business, selling all of its stores nine hundred locations
Speaker 1: across the United States.

Speaker 1: Lots is up there with another place that's closed. Lot
Speaker 1: of is cons into a CONS, but they've closed a lot,
