• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, twenty eighth day of May. I am Wes,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: thanks for joining me. Short week means it doesn't feel
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: like Thursday, you know, it just doesn't. It doesn't feel
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: like Thursday, but it is, so we can enjoy that
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: as we get ready to push a little bit closer
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: to this weekend, and it's a weekend after holiday. Many people,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I guess take, you know, take advantage of the holiday
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: weekend to jump start into a week long holiday. And
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I know some people that are wrapping up vacations this
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: week and enjoying that time. So good for them, So
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: they're probably not excited about winding down the week.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Well, I've been on some of.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Those vacations where maybe you are just like I'm ready
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to go home.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I have had a few of those over the years.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: But we're wrapping up, We're getting close to wrapping up
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: this shorter week as we enter our way a little
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: bit closer to the weekend and a little bit closer
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: to the month of June. I mean, you know, three
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: days ago, on the twenty fifth, I pointed out to
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Jill seven months till Christmas, and it's just that weird
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: feeling of how quickly it all goes, because it really
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: just feels like we just kind of took the Christmas
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: decorations down and all that. It's just part of the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: way this whole thing works, isn't it. A few things
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: that I want to get to today first and foremost,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I haven't really talked about this until there's like a
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: side story to it because to me, the main story
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: of it isn't really like it's just kind of one
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of those things that they gets talked about in sports
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and it's not it's not as important as I think
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the sports media wants to make it seem. And now
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: there's a second part to it that I think makes
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: it very relevant and it's worth discussing.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: That's my opinion on it.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: So you know, it's several days ago the President was
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: speaking at an event in I think he was in
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: New Jersey, New York or New Jersey. He was at
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: an event and he was going to be coming out
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: speak to a crowd, and the person that was asked
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: to introduce him was the quarterback of the New York Giants,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Jackson Dart, just finished his rookie season, of excitement in
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: New York about him rolling into his second season. I'm
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a New York Giants fan. This is why I say
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: there was a temptation to leave this story b to
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: begin with, for just because I just thought, well, even
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I wasn't that interesting in it. And you know, he
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: came out, he.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Introduced the President. He did what for you know, most.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Of the existence of this country, anyone would have done
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: if given the opportunity. It's an honor. It's like being
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: invited to the White House. You get invited to the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: White House.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: It's an honor.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: You go to the White House, you put on some
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: nice clothes, you go to the White House, and you do,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you know, whatever it is they've asked you to come
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: there to do. Obviously you're not going to go there
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and do something against your convictions. But if they're just
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: asking you to be a guest there, you put on
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a nice suit and you go. That's what you do.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Anything else is disrespectful, and you can say, well, I'm
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: not going to go because dot dot dot Like if
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: if if it's a specific event to support a specific
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: thing that you are against in some way, then sure
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: maybe you go. Well I don't I don't want to
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: go and seem like I'm supporting that, you decline the
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: invitation privately, and then you move on. It doesn't have
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to be a big public debacle. But that's what it's become. Now.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: People are trying to draw their line in the sand
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and say, you know, this is this is who I am,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: this is what I stand for, and all these things.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: It's just become this show. There's another word you can
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: put in front of that, right, but it's just become
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: this show. It's a theatrix of all of it where
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: people feel like they have to, you know, put on
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: this performance art and and express the reason that they
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: you know, aren't going to do whatever it is. You know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to go. I'm not going to go
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: to the White House because you know, the President I
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: don't like, or whatever it is. So he was asked
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to speak, and he was asked to introduce the president
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: of this event. Now keep in mind, this is in
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the New York area fan base. This is an exciting moment.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I'm sure for him it should be an honor. This
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: isn't at the White House, this is you know, in
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the New York area. So he goes, he introduces him
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and his one of his teammates. Now.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: He was drafted a year ago.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: In the NFL Draft and he and Abdul Carter were
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the two first round picks for the Giants. They had
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the first round, early first round pick. They picked abdual Carter,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a guy that a lot of people thought was the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: best player in the draft. Defensive lineman, an edge rusher guy.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: It's like an edge ure slash linebacker, defensive end, all
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: those things. Didn't have a superb rookie season, but they
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: did not have a good defensive coordinator. They didn't really
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: have a good overall coaching staff.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: It's just the reality of it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: So a lot of excitement about next season for both
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: of these guys. But they were both drafted in the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: first round. Later in the first round, the Giants had
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to trade up and get Jackson Dart.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: They wanted him.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: They felt like this kid from Ole miss Was had
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: so much potential and they wanted to get him.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: So the two are.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Basically locked together forever as first round picks by this
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: historic NFL franchise. You know, most of the time teams
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: don't get two picks in the first round. They're forever
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: united by this. A lot of times there's a trade
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: that unites people. You got the Philip Rivers and Eli
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Manning trade, and even Ben Roethlisberger was kind of in
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the like many thought the Giants were just going to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: take Roethlisberger if they couldn't get Manning. So like those
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: three are kind of connected in that way. Anyway, Dart
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: and Carter became friends, faces of the franchise offense defense.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Here we go, both Star Wars fans both you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: they just had this thing, this friendship that kind of
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: butted from it, and you know, Giants fans were optimistic.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: They felt great about it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: So Abdul Carter, who saw that Jackson Dart went and
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: introduced Trump, made a post on x Slash Twitter or whatever,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and he basically just said, you know, I thought this
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: was AI at first, What are we doing referencing Jackson Dart?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: And this, of course was like lobbing a grenade into
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a situation, like you could say. And I saw some
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: comments from sports people saying, you know, you're inviting controversy
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: by going and speaking Dart shouldn't have done it. Some said, hey,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: let the guy go do whatever he wants to do.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: You shouldn't be publicly critical of it. Talk to him
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: in private if you've got issues with it, or you know,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: just it's none of your business. Just leave it alone.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Like we just haven't accepted the fact that there's a
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: lot of things that aren't necessary to speak about. But anyway,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: this led to days of sports media just picking it apart.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: All the reasons that Dart was wrong, all the reasons
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: that he shouldn't have done it, all the controversy. This
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: is going to cause a rift in the locker room,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: it's going to ruin the whole season for the team,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: all of these things that, you know, chastising this man
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: for going and doing something that anyone should be honored
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: to be asked to do. Well, well, you know, a
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: couple of days go by, Abdul Carter posts on X
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: We spoke to each other like men, we're good. You
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: guys can drop your narrative.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I got to chues with that because he created the narrative.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Let's be honest here, as much as everybody ran with it,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: he's the origin of the narrative. Because you know, he
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: could have just kept his mouth shut to begin with.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: But that's fine.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: They spoke they patched it up whatever, And of course
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: that led to even more conversation, a lot of talk
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: about what's you know?
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Can you believe it?
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: And this is going to be a problem, and this
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: is going to be all these things now, that itself
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I didn't think was worth talking about. I mean, you
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: have Trump involved, you've got the NFL, there's different layers
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: to this, but to me, that itself it's not really
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: worth talking about. I would hate to think this is
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: going to be a problem for the team's season coming up.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Just as a fan, I like both of those guys.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I want to see them both do well. But here's
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: where things get interesting because not long after all of this,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: now we have Josh Jacobs running back for the Packers.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: He played at Alabama, so he's got a little local
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: connection to that to this area as.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: A Bama guy.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: He played for the Raiders, drafted by the Raiders back
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen, and then ended up with the Packers.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Great running back, great running back at Alabama, great running back.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: In spite of being on a team like the Raiders
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: it wasn't very good. He's done very well for himself
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: with the Packers, and he gets arrested now and it
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: is everything's alleged, but arrested under what police are saying
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: domestic abuse charges. And the sports media coverage of this
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: arrest versus the coverage of a guy who went on
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: stage and introduced the President.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Of the United States, you would think.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: That you're talking about someone who maybe didn't pay a
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: parking ticket in Josh Jacobs versus someone who committed you know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: multiple homicides in Jackson Dart. It's baffling the way the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: coverage of this is. It's so different. Now he's been
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: released from jail, there's questions about if he's you know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: not able to play, might he be you know, these
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: long suspensions, these kind of things. But these are the
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: conversations that they're having about him, is well, how will
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: the Packers recover from this? How will the Packers move
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: forward without Josh Jacobs if he's not able to play
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: or you know, suspensions and all these things, if he's
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: you know, put in prison, as if that happens. But
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: it is such a complete joke. How do you say
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: that a guy who introduced the President of the United
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: States has done something so heinous, so horrible, and a
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: guy who maybe at least charged with domestic abuse, and
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: there's a lot to it.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: It's not just.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: It's not just a general like, oh, this is a
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: domestic abuse. Let me see I can get the full,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: full breakdown of the charges. If I can get that
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: just really quickly, other charges could be there, reasonablieve additional
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: evidence may exist that would impact whether additional charges are appropriate.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: From the Brown County District Attorney.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: David L. Lassie.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: So yeah, they say they continue to evaluate. I've seen
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: a few speculating on what the other charges are and
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I don't really want to get into that unless we
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: are going to have some sort of charges. But I
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: guess I'll say this and I don't want to get
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: too deep into it, but this is from the report
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: from the police Department referred on potential charges of felony,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: strangulation and suffocation for misdemeanors.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Related to domestic abuse.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: That not as severe as speaking on behalf of the
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: president to introduce him at an event. Just keep in mind,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: that's what we're dealing with. That's the world that we
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: live in now, and that's the absurdity of all of it.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I want to talk a little bit more about Graham
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Platner because I've been saying basically that, you know, this
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: is the guy who is the Democrat hopeful that they
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: think is going to end up beating Susan Collins in Maine.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: This is the guy with the Nazi tattoo on his
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: chest that I guess he covered up, claims he didn't
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: know that's what it was, all these ridiculous things. Calls
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: himself a history buff, doesn't know what a Nazi symbol,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: is not familiar with that, but yes, is a devout,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: devout history buff, as he describes himself. Democrats are finally
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: now starting to say, whoa, We're supporting this guy, even
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: to the point where some are saying they would rather
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: not win the Senate than allow him to win.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Good for them? Where have they been? Why is this
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: taking so long?
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: But some moderate Democrats are basically saying that, you know,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: one I guess Melissa de Rosa, who is a former
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: aid to Cuomo, that Democrats will not cry tears should
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: we lose main.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Good for them? Where have they been?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Why has this not? The absurdity of this and it
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: just all falls under the category of they think that
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: this guy has some kind of appeal, some kind of sizzle,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and I think he probably does. But it's disturbing because
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: we have a number of situations where the wrong side,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: the wrong team, is grabbing the sizzle. Whether it's we're
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: going to go harass Jewish people in a neighborhood, We're
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: going to go harass Jewish students trying to take finals at.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Colleges, whatever it is.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: So, yes, this guy has some sort of an appeal
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: and they think he can win. They think he can
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: be like a Trump type figure, whatever it is that
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: they hope this guy is going to be. Now you're
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: starting to get some moderate saying, hey, we don't want
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the guy with the Nazi tattoo. That's we don't need that.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: We don't need the Nazi tattoo guy anywhere near our
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: or our senate race. We don't need him anywhere near
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: our party. We need to get rid of this good. Yes,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: why is it taking so long? Why has it taken
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: anyone this long to realize that this is bad?
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: It's really bad?
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: So good for them to finally come around on This
• 16:29

• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: door or completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: insulation issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: screen door to your garage door system that you can
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: put down and you can use your garage space as
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: a sort.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Of outdoor but indoor.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: man cavid, you'd like to be able to open the
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh six Thtory

  Speaker 2: Right after the break, NASA has announced it is planning
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: to continue its plans for a moon base. We'll talk
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: more about that, I'm sure on today's Made of Stars
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: podcast in great detail, Made of Stars podcast. Wherever you
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: get this podcast, you can get Made of Stars there
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: and we'll be talking more about that. It's an exciting time.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: It's a very exciting time. It's not just about going
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: back to the Moon. It's about going back to the
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Moon for good, going to stay, going to officially do
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: more than plant flags and footprints or however the present
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: put it. And you know, the Trump administration wants to
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: see this move forward and feels like there needs to
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: be pressure to do it during his time in the
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: White House because you don't know who's going to be
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: running NASA moving forward, whether or not there'll be some
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: consistency whoever the next president is. If it's another Republican,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: then maybe we get Jared Isaacman for a while longer
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: with this vision. So it's an exciting time and they
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: are pushing forward. We have Artemis three. Is there a
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks away now from announcing who the astronauts
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: will be for the Artemis three mission. That one's going
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: to be you know, in in Earth's orbit they're going
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: to be practicing some of the docking techniques and things
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: that will happen with Artemis four, where there will be
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: astronauts going back to the moon.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: So pretty exciting stuff.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: And again we'll talk more about it in a greater length,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: greater detail on the Mate of Stars podcast a little
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: bit later on today. We do it every Thursday most weeks.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: We do it every Thursday. Every now and then we
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: have to do one on a Wednesday, or we record
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: some ahead of time because we've got an interview or something,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: but for the most part we do them on Thursdays.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Samuel Adams has made a special beer called Utopias that
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: is so strong it is illegal in fifteen states, and
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Georgia is.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: One of them, so is Alabama.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: The brew is thirty percent alcohol, which is closer to
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: hard liquor than a regular beer. It breaks local laws
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: that were put in place after prohibition laws. So to
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: get that massive kick, brewers blend the breer. That's a mouthful,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: isn't it, Blend the beer in old whiskey and cognac
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: barrels for up to thirty years because the process takes
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: so long. A single bottle will cost you anywhere from
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: two hundred and forty to three hundred.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Dollars, so not an option at all.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: If you live any in any of the following states Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Idaho, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: West Virginia. I guess Florida would be an option. It's,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: you know, for folks that live in this area, and
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's your best bet, you know.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: I guess Tennessee. You can make your way into Tennessee.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: And if you're living in one of the states that
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: has it, if you try it, I'd love to hear
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: what you think about it. And an ambitious effort to
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: save the brand from going under completely, Hooters is reworking
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: its image to attract families, singles, and couples. After filing
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: for Chapter eleven bankruptcy last year, the chain's original founders
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: have stepped back into the leadership roles to clean up
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: the restaurant's reputation, and we lost hours in Columbus, Georgia.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: It closed the company. Second time we've had a Hooters
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: close here. The company began swapping out the controvert so
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: uniforms late last year that some say looked like bikini bottoms.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: They didn't they were just short shorts. They brought back less,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: revealing the orange shorts again. I guess I don't know
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: where they that they changed. It's been a while since
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I've been into a Hooters. Along with the wardrobe change management,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I really it's been a while since I've been into
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: a Hooters. Along with the wardrobe change management is overhauling
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: the food quality, hoping to attract new customers with casual,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: neighborhood beach bar vibes. Yeah, I mean, I think that
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: was part of what they were trying to do.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: At one point, wasn't it.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Ferrari brought in a design expert from Apple. This is
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Johnny Eve.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Eve E?
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Y e V But it's ive E. But I think
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: it's Eve or it's I've Maybe that's it.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: It's I've long Eye to help them create the first
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Ferrari electric car, called the Luce price tag starting at
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: six hundred and forty thousand dollars, It goes from zero
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: to sixty and two point five seconds as a top
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: speed of one hundred and ninety three miles an hour.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: It's the first Ferrari to have five seats and only
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: the second to have four doors. Ferrari fans do not
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: like it. The introduction of the Luce was so bad
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: that Ferrari stock price took a huge hit. Odds our
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Ferrari will bounce back, but it seems like the car
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: maker swung and missed in a big way, unveiling a
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: car that looks like a mix between a Honda, a
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: cord ev and Tesla three. So that'll do it for
• 25:36
