  our
• 1:16
  midweek
• 1:16
  update.
• 1:17
  This
• 1:17
  is
• 1:18
  that
• 1:18
  show
• 1:18
  we
• 1:18
  do
• 1:18
  in

  the
• 1:18
  middle
• 1:19
  of

  the

• 1:19
  that

  last
• 1:21
  weekend's
• 1:22
  show
• 1:22
  and
• 1:22
  of
• 1:22
  course,
• 1:23
  what
• 1:23
  isn't
• 1:23
  fitting
• 1:24
  into
• 1:24
  this
• 1:24
  weekend
• 1:25
  show.
• 1:26
  Happy
• 1:26
  April
• 1:27
  Fool's
• 1:27
  Day.
• 1:28
  We
• 1:28
  are
• 1:28
  not
• 1:28
  going
• 1:28
  to
• 1:29
  be
• 1:29
  playing
• 1:29
  April
• 1:29
  Fools
• 1:30
  here
• 1:30
  today.
• 1:30
  So
• 1:30
  this
• 1:31
  is
• 1:31
  not
• 1:31
  something
• 1:31
  we're
• 1:32
  going
• 1:32
  to
• 1:32
  do
• 1:32
  today
• 1:32
  because
• 1:32
  it's
• 1:33
  just
• 1:33
  a
• 1:33
  regular
• 1:33
  show
• 1:34
  and
• 1:34
  not
• 1:34
  going
• 1:34
  to
• 1:35
  pull
• 1:35
  your
• 1:35
  leg
• 1:35
  because
• 1:35
  there's
• 1:36
  so
• 1:36
  many
• 1:36
  other
• 1:36
  people
• 1:36
  out
• 1:37
  there.
• 1:37
  I
• 1:38
  figured
• 1:38
  let's
• 1:38
  create
• 1:38
  a
• 1:39
  safe
• 1:39
  space
• 1:40
  today
• 1:40
  for
• 1:40
  you
• 1:42
  so
• 1:42
  at
• 1:42
  least
• 1:42
  you
• 1:42
  can
• 1:42
  get
• 1:42
  something
• 1:43
  that
• 1:43
  you
• 1:43
  know
• 1:43
  that
• 1:44
  someone's
• 1:44
  not
• 1:44
  going
• 1:44
  to
• 1:45
  mess
• 1:45
  with
• 1:45
  you.
• 1:45
  Let's
• 1:46
  also
• 1:47
  our
• 1:47
  38th
• 1:48
  birthday
• 1:49
  here
• 1:49
  at
• 1:49
  around
• 1:49
  the
• 1:50
  House.
• 1:51
  So
• 1:51
  we
• 1:51
  were
• 1:51
  founded
• 1:52
  on
• 1:52
  April
• 1:53
  1,
• 1:54
  1988,
• 1:55
  in
• 1:55
  Portland,
• 1:55
  Oregon.
• 1:56
  When
• 1:56
  they
• 1:57
  sat
• 1:57
  down
• 1:57
  and
• 1:57
  said,
• 1:57
  hey,
• 1:58
  we
• 1:58
  got
• 1:58
  a
• 1:58
  show
• 1:58
  tomorrow.
• 1:59
  And
• 1:59
  that
• 2:00
  was
• 2:00
  on
• 2:00
  a
• 2:01
  Saturday.
• 2:02
  They
• 2:02
  announced
• 2:03
  it
• 2:03
  and
• 2:03
  here
• 2:03
  we
• 2:04
  are
• 2:04
  today,
• 2:04
  38
• 2:05
  years
• 2:05
  later.
• 2:07
  Back
• 2:07
  then
• 2:07
  it
• 2:07
  was
• 2:07
  just
• 2:07
  a
• 2:07
  local
• 2:08
  Portland
• 2:08
  home
• 2:09
  improvement
• 2:09
  show.
• 2:10
  It's
• 2:10
  grown.
• 2:10
  I
• 2:11
  am
• 2:11
  the
• 2:11
  fourth
• 2:12
  host.
• 2:13
  Before
• 2:13
  me
• 2:13
  was
• 2:14
  Handyman
• 2:14
  Bob.
• 2:15
  That
• 2:15
  was
• 2:15
  there
• 2:15
  for
• 2:15
  about
• 2:15
  a
• 2:16
  decade
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  we
• 2:17
  had
• 2:17
  other
• 2:18
  hosts
• 2:18
  before
• 2:18
  that.
• 2:19
  So
• 2:19
  when
• 2:19
  I
• 2:20
  moved
• 2:20
  to
• 2:21
  Portland
• 2:22
  and
• 2:22
  I
• 2:23
  tell
• 2:23
  you
• 2:23
  what,
• 2:23
  I
• 2:24
  had
• 2:24
  moved
• 2:24
  to
• 2:24
  Portland
• 2:24
  out
• 2:24
  of
• 2:25
  Seattle,
• 2:25
  was
• 2:25
  kind
• 2:25
  of
• 2:25
  just
• 2:26
  wanting
• 2:27
  to
• 2:27

• 2:27
  of
• 2:27
  reboot
• 2:28
  everything
• 2:28
  down
• 2:29
  in
• 2:29
  Portland
• 2:30
  and
• 2:30
  I
• 2:30
  needed
• 2:31
  to
• 2:31
  advertise
• 2:31
  on
• 2:31
  the
• 2:32
  radio.
• 2:32
  And
• 2:33
  I
• 2:33
  wasn't
• 2:33
  going
• 2:33
  to
• 2:33
  start
• 2:34
  a
• 2:34
  big
• 2:34
  company
• 2:34
  like
• 2:35
  I
• 2:35
  had
• 2:35
  in
• 2:35
  Seattle
• 2:36
  with
• 2:36
  13
• 2:36
  designers
• 2:37
  and
• 2:37
  all
• 2:37
  that
• 2:37
  because
• 2:38
  I
• 2:38
  learned
• 2:39
  and
• 2:39
  what
• 2:39
  I
• 2:39
  was
• 2:40
  trying
• 2:40
  to
• 2:40
  do
• 2:40
  that
• 2:41
  bigger
• 2:42
  wasn't
• 2:42
  better
• 2:43
  when
• 2:43
  it
• 2:43
  came
• 2:43
  to
• 2:43
  my
• 2:44
  quality
• 2:44
  of
• 2:44
  life.
• 2:45
  But
• 2:45
  I
• 2:45
  tell
• 2:45
  you
• 2:45
  what,
• 2:46
  when
• 2:46
  I
• 2:46
  moved
• 2:47
  to
• 2:47
  Portland,
• 2:47
  I
• 2:47
  said,
• 2:47
  I'm
• 2:48
  going
• 2:48
  to
• 2:48
  start
• 2:48
  over.

  going
• 2:48
  to
• 2:49
  advertise
• 2:49
  on
• 2:49

• 2:50
  So
• 2:50
  I
• 2:50
  got
• 2:51
  a
• 2:51
  hold
• 2:51

• 2:51

  Here's

• 3:17
  Great.
• 3:18
  I
• 3:18

• 3:18
  to
• 3:18

• 3:18
  radio.
• 3:19
  Came

• 3:20
  few
• 3:20
  times,
• 3:21
  few

  spots.
• 3:22
  We
• 3:22
  had
• 3:23
  a
• 3:23
  blast
• 3:23
  together.
• 3:24
  And
• 3:24
  he

• 3:29
  Now,
• 3:29
  here's
• 3:30
  what
• 3:30
  was
• 3:30
  funny.
• 3:31
  Bob's
• 3:31
  wonderful
• 3:32
  wife,
• 3:33
  Lynn,
• 3:34
  days
• 3:34
  later,
• 3:35
  I
• 3:35
  meet
• 3:35
  her
• 3:36
  for
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  first
• 3:36
  time
• 3:37
  out.
• 3:37
  Running
• 3:38
  around
• 3:38
  at
• 3:38
  a.
• 3:39
  It
• 3:39
  was
• 3:39
  an
• 3:39
  event,
• 3:39
  I
• 3:40
  think,
• 3:40
  for
• 3:40
  the
• 3:40
  building
• 3:41
  or
• 3:41
  National
• 3:41
  Kitchen
• 3:42
  and
• 3:42
  Bass
• 3:42
  association
• 3:43
  or
• 3:43
  one
• 3:43
  of
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  groups
• 3:43
  around,
• 3:43
  I
• 3:44
  can't
• 3:44
  remember
• 3:44
  which
• 3:44
  one.
• 3:45
  We're
• 3:45
  sitting
• 3:45
  there
• 3:45
  in
• 3:45
  a
• 3:45
  showroom,
• 3:46
  met
• 3:46
  her,
• 3:46
  gave
• 3:46
  me
• 3:47
  a
• 3:47
  big
• 3:47
  hug
• 3:47
  and
• 3:47
  said,
• 3:47
  I'm
• 3:48
  so
• 3:48
  happy
• 3:48
  you're
• 3:48
  gonna
• 3:48
  be
• 3:49
  taking
• 3:49
  over
• 3:49
  for
• 3:49
  Bob
• 3:49
  because
• 3:50
  he
• 3:50
  wants
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  retire
• 3:50
  soon.
• 3:51
  And
• 3:51
  I
• 3:51
  went,
• 3:52
  in
• 3:52
  my
• 3:52
  head,
• 3:52
  I
• 3:52
  smiled,
• 3:53
  oh,
• 3:53
  yeah,
• 3:53
  it's
• 3:54
  gonna
• 3:54
  be
• 3:54
  so
• 3:54
  great.
• 3:54
  In
• 3:54
  my
• 3:55
  head,
• 3:55
  I
• 3:55
  was
• 3:55
  going,
• 3:55
  wow.
• 3:56
  We
• 3:57
  hadn't
• 3:57
  had
• 3:57
  that
• 3:57
  conversation,
• 3:58
  but
• 3:58
  I
• 3:58
  now
• 3:58
  see
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  future.
• 3:59
  We
• 4:00
  went
• 4:00
  on
• 4:00
  for
• 4:00
  maybe
• 4:01
  another
• 4:01
  year,
• 4:01
  and
• 4:01
  then
• 4:01
  he
• 4:02
  said,
• 4:02
  hey,
• 4:02
  I'm
• 4:02
  good.
• 4:03
  And
• 4:03
  back
• 4:04
  then,
• 4:04
  we

  messages
• 6:44
  me
• 6:45
  over

• 6:54
  So

  have
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  filter
• 6:55

  get
• 6:58
  lost
• 6:59

  look.
• 7:31
  Make
• 7:31
  sure
• 7:31

• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  whole
• 7:59

• 7:59
  switch.
• 8:00
  This
• 8:00
  one,
• 8:00
  looking
• 8:00
  at
• 8:01
  the
• 8:01
  picture,
• 8:01
  has
• 8:02
  six
• 8:02
  switches,
• 8:03
  one
• 8:03
  for
• 8:03
  each
• 8:03
  plug.
• 8:04
  And
• 8:04
  it
• 8:04
  looks
• 8:05
  like
• 8:05
  it's
• 8:05
  got
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  20amp
• 8:06
  style
• 8:06

• 8:06
  on

  it.
• 8:07
  So
• 8:08
  that
• 8:08
  looks
• 8:08
  like
• 8:08
  that
• 8:09
  one
• 8:09
  could
• 8:09
  be
• 8:09
  interesting.
• 8:10
  And
• 8:11
  then
• 8:11
  Here
• 8:12
  is
• 8:12
  one
• 8:12
  thing
• 8:12
  to
• 8:13
  keep
• 8:13
  in
• 8:13
  mind
• 8:13
  in
• 8:13
  barbecue
• 8:14
  grill
• 8:14
  accessories
• 8:15
  out
• 8:15
  there,
• 8:16
  guys,
• 8:16
  and
• 8:16
  this
• 8:16
  is
• 8:16
  a
• 8:16
  big
• 8:16
  one.
• 8:17
  Next
• 8:17
  Grill
• 8:18
  is
• 8:18
  recalling
• 8:18
  over
• 8:19
  10.2
• 8:19
  million
• 8:20
  wire
• 8:20
  bristle
• 8:21
  grill
• 8:21
  brushes
• 8:22
  due
• 8:22
  to
• 8:22
  ingestion
• 8:23
  hazard
• 8:24
  sold
• 8:24
  at
• 8:25
  Home
• 8:25
  Depot.
• 8:26
  I
• 8:26
  tell
• 8:26
  you
• 8:26
  what,
• 8:26
  between
• 8:27
  Weber
• 8:27
  and
• 8:28
  Next
• 8:28
  Grill,
• 8:29
  there
• 8:29
  are
• 8:29
  millions
• 8:30
  of
• 8:30
  these.
• 8:30
  So
• 8:31
  if
• 8:31
  you
• 8:31
  have
• 8:31
  your
• 8:31
  traditional
• 8:33
  barbecue
• 8:34
  brush
• 8:34
  for
• 8:34
  your
• 8:34
  barbecue
• 8:35
  and
• 8:35
  it
• 8:35
  has
• 8:36
  the
• 8:37
  wires
• 8:37
  sticking
• 8:37
  straight
• 8:38
  out
• 8:38
  of
• 8:38
  it
• 8:38
  that
• 8:38
  are
• 8:38
  individual
• 8:39
  wires,
• 8:40
  stop
• 8:40
  using
• 8:40
  it,
• 8:40
  guys.
• 8:41
  Those
• 8:41
  wires
• 8:42
  can
• 8:42
  get
• 8:42
  hung
• 8:42
  up
• 8:43
  in
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  grease
• 8:43
  and
• 8:43
  stuff
• 8:44
  and
• 8:44
  it
• 8:44
  can
• 8:44
  end
• 8:45
  up
• 8:45
  in
• 8:45
  your
• 8:45
  food
• 8:45
  and
• 8:45
  it
• 8:46
  can
• 8:46
  cause
• 8:46
  a
• 8:47
  serious
• 8:48
  issue.
• 8:49
  You
• 8:49
  don't
• 8:49
  want
• 8:50
  to
• 8:50
  be
• 8:50
  ingesting
• 8:50
  that.
• 8:51
  So
• 8:52
  time
• 8:52
  to
• 8:52
  change
• 8:53
  to
• 8:53
  a
• 8:53
  different
• 8:53
  grill
• 8:53
  brush.
• 8:54
  But
• 8:54
  if
• 8:55
  you
• 8:55
  have
• 8:55
  a
• 8:55
  NEX
• 8:55
  grill
• 8:56
  or
• 8:56
  if
• 8:56
  you
• 8:56
  have
• 8:56
  a
• 8:57
  Weber,
• 8:58
  jump
• 8:58
  online.
• 8:58
  There's
• 8:59
  recalls
• 8:59
  on
• 8:59
  this
• 8:59
  stuff
• 8:59
  and
• 9:00
  there's
• 9:00
  injuries
• 9:00
  reported.
• 9:01
  So
• 9:01
  this
• 9:01
  is
• 9:01
  not
• 9:02
  anything
• 9:02
  to
• 9:02
  mess
• 9:03
  with.
• 9:03
  So
• 9:03
  about
• 9:03
  10.2
• 9:04
  million
• 9:04
  of
• 9:04
  those.
• 9:05
  So
• 9:06
  the
• 9:06
  rest
• 9:06
  of
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  stuff
• 9:07
  is
• 9:07
  like
• 9:08
  ice
• 9:08
  axes
• 9:08
  for
• 9:08
  climbing
• 9:09
  toys,
• 9:10
  all
• 9:11
  that
• 9:11
  kind
• 9:11
  of
• 9:11
  stuff.
• 9:11
  Bikes,
• 9:12
  helmets,
• 9:12
  all
• 9:12
  that
• 9:12
  stuff.
• 9:12
  So
• 9:13
  there's
• 9:13
  a
• 9:13
  lot
• 9:13
  of
• 9:13
  stuff.
• 9:14
  Find
• 9:14
  out
• 9:14
  more@cpsc.gov
• 9:17
  you
• 9:17
  can
• 9:17
  find
• 9:17
  it
• 9:18
  over
• 9:18
  there.
• 9:19
  Now,
• 9:19
  here's
• 9:19
  one
• 9:19
  of
• 9:19
  the
• 9:19
  main
• 9:20
  topics
• 9:20
  I
• 9:20
  wanted
• 9:20
  to
• 9:20
  talk
• 9:21
  about.
• 9:21
  We're
• 9:21
  seeing
• 9:21
  this
• 9:22
  show
• 9:22
  up
• 9:22
  in
• 9:22
  social
• 9:23
  media.
• 9:23
  It's
• 9:24
  around
• 9:24
  there,
• 9:25
  and
• 9:25
  it's
• 9:25
  driving
• 9:26
  me
• 9:26
  absolutely
• 9:27
  crazy.
• 9:28
  We
• 9:28
  have
• 9:29
  people
• 9:29
  out
• 9:29
  there
• 9:30
  predicting
• 9:30
  there's
• 9:31
  going
• 9:31
  to
• 9:31
  be
• 9:31
  a
• 9:31
  housing
• 9:32
  crash
• 9:32
  in
• 9:33
  2026
• 9:35
  unless
• 9:36
  something
• 9:36
  big
• 9:37
  happens
• 9:37
  out
• 9:37
  there.
• 9:38
  We
• 9:38
  don't
• 9:39
  have
• 9:39
  enough
• 9:39
  houses
• 9:39
  on
• 9:39
  the
• 9:39
  market
• 9:40
  for
• 9:40
  a
• 9:40
  housing
• 9:40
  crash.
• 9:41
  With
• 9:42
  construction
• 9:43
  in
• 9:43
  many
• 9:44
  states
• 9:45
  behind,
• 9:46
  not
• 9:47
  enough
• 9:47
  homes
• 9:47
  out
• 9:47
  there.
• 9:48
  Now,
• 9:49
  really,
• 9:49
  what
• 9:50
  we
• 9:50
  have
• 9:50
  to
• 9:50
  see
• 9:50
  our
• 9:51
  housing
• 9:51
  crash
• 9:51
  where
• 9:51
  we
• 9:52
  saw
• 9:52
  maybe
• 9:52
  30%
• 9:53
  of
• 9:53
  the
• 9:53
  value
• 9:53
  go
• 9:54
  away.
• 9:54
  We
• 9:55
  had
• 9:55
  a
• 9:55
  extreme
• 9:56
  glut
• 9:57
  of
• 9:57
  new
• 9:58
  construction
• 9:58
  homes
• 9:59
  out
• 9:59
  there.
• 9:59
  There
• 10:00
  was
• 10:00
  just
• 10:00
  too
• 10:00
  many
• 10:01
  homes
• 10:01
  on
• 10:01
  the
• 10:01
  market.
• 10:02
  Is
• 10:02
  that
• 10:02
  the
• 10:02
  case
• 10:03
  now?
• 10:03
  No,
• 10:03
  it's
• 10:04
  kind
• 10:04
  of
• 10:04
  quite
• 10:04
  the
• 10:04
  opposite,
• 10:05
  actually.
• 10:05
  In
• 10:05
  most
• 10:05
  areas,
• 10:06
  we
• 10:06
  have
• 10:07
  a
• 10:07
  shortage
• 10:07
  of
• 10:07
  homes
• 10:08
  now.
• 10:09
  So
• 10:09
  I
• 10:09
  think
• 10:10
  until
• 10:10
  we
• 10:11
  can
• 10:11
  put
• 10:11
  some
• 10:12
  more
• 10:12
  money
• 10:12
  in
• 10:12
  people's
• 10:13
  pockets,
• 10:14
  I
• 10:14
  think
• 10:14
  we
• 10:14
  are
• 10:15
  going
• 10:15
  to
• 10:15
  see
• 10:15
  the
• 10:15
  market
• 10:15
  stay
• 10:16
  about
• 10:16
  where
• 10:16
  they
• 10:16
  are
• 10:16
  right
• 10:17
  now.
• 10:17
  And
• 10:17
  I
• 10:18
  think
• 10:18
  that's
• 10:18
  what's
• 10:18
  going
• 10:18
  to
• 10:18
  happen.
• 10:19
  And
• 10:20
  I
• 10:20
  think
• 10:20
  for
• 10:20
  people
• 10:21
  out
• 10:21
  there,
• 10:21
  and
• 10:22
  I
• 10:22
  feel
• 10:22
  for
• 10:23
  everybody,
• 10:23
  because
• 10:23
  I'm
• 10:24
  feeling
• 10:24
  the
• 10:24
  same
• 10:24
  battle,
• 10:25
  my
• 10:26
  energy
• 10:26
  costs
• 10:27
  here.
• 10:27
  We
• 10:27
  used
• 10:28
  to
• 10:28
  have
• 10:28
  some
• 10:28
  of
• 10:28
  the
• 10:28
  cheapest
• 10:28
  electricity
• 10:29
  in
• 10:29
  the
• 10:29
  country.
• 10:30
  Now,
• 10:31
  because
• 10:33
  what's
• 10:33
  happened
• 10:33
  out
• 10:34
  there
• 10:35
  with
• 10:35
  energy
• 10:35
  companies
• 10:36
  saying,
• 10:36
  hey,
• 10:36
  we're
• 10:37
  gonna
• 10:37
  get
• 10:37
  rid
• 10:37
  of
• 10:37
  that
• 10:37
  cheap
• 10:38
  energy
• 10:38
  and
• 10:39
  we're
• 10:39
  gonna
• 10:39
  go
• 10:39
  with
• 10:40
  wind,
• 10:40
  solar,
• 10:41
  all
• 10:41
  that
• 10:41
  other
• 10:41
  stuff,
• 10:42
  all
• 10:42
  of
• 10:43
  a
• 10:43
  sudden
• 10:43
  we're
• 10:43
  seeing
• 10:43
  energy
• 10:44
  rates
• 10:44
  that
• 10:44
  are
• 10:44
  25%
• 10:45
  more,
• 10:46
  30%
• 10:46
  more
• 10:46
  what
• 10:47
  they
• 10:47
  were
• 10:47
  just
• 10:47
  a
• 10:47
  handful
• 10:47
  of
• 10:48
  years
• 10:48
  ago.
• 10:48
  And
• 10:49
  so
• 10:50
  I
• 10:50
  get
• 10:50
  that
• 10:50
  we're
• 10:51
  going
• 10:51
  greener
• 10:51
  and
• 10:51
  that's
• 10:52
  probably
• 10:52
  great
• 10:52
  for
• 10:52
  everybody.
• 10:53
  But
• 10:53
  when
• 10:53
  it
• 10:53
  adds
• 10:54
  30%
• 10:55
  plus
• 10:55
  to
• 10:55
  your
• 10:56
  energy
• 10:56
  rates,
• 10:57
  that's
• 10:57
  a
• 10:58
  hard
• 10:58
  bill
• 10:58
  to
• 10:58
  swallow
• 10:59
  when
• 10:59
  everything
• 11:00
  else
• 11:00
  has
• 11:00
  been
• 11:00
  going
• 11:01
  up
• 11:01
  as
• 11:01
  well.
• 11:02
  And
• 11:02
  we
• 11:02
  saw
• 11:02
  that
• 11:02
  over
• 11:03
  the
• 11:03
  last
• 11:03
  five
• 11:03
  or
• 11:03
  six
• 11:04
  years
• 11:04
  of
• 11:04
  just
• 11:05
  absolute
• 11:05
  inflation
• 11:06
  killing
• 11:06
  us.
• 11:07
  So
• 11:08
  we
• 11:08
  need
• 11:08
  to
• 11:08
  get
• 11:08
  our
• 11:09
  wages
• 11:09
  up
• 11:09
  to
• 11:09
  do
• 11:09
  that.
• 11:10
  More
• 11:10
  take
• 11:10
  home
• 11:11
  pay
• 11:12
  tax
• 11:12
  decreases
• 11:13
  if
• 11:13
  we
• 11:13
  can
• 11:13
  get
• 11:13
  government
• 11:14
  spending
• 11:14
  down.
• 11:15
  And
• 11:15
  by
• 11:15
  the
• 11:15
  way,
• 11:16
  guys,
• 11:16
  that's
• 11:16
  on
• 11:16
  us
• 11:16
  as
• 11:17
  people
• 11:17
  out
• 11:17
  there.
• 11:17
  We
• 11:18
  need
• 11:18
  to
• 11:18
  vote
• 11:18
  people
• 11:18
  in.
• 11:18
  They're
• 11:19
  going
• 11:19
  to
• 11:19
  say,
• 11:19
  hey,
• 11:19
  we
• 11:20
  don't
• 11:20
  need
• 11:20
  more
• 11:20
  taxes.
• 11:21
  And
• 11:22
  we're
• 11:22
  going
• 11:22
  to
• 11:22
  have
• 11:22
  to
• 11:22
  say
• 11:23
  enough
• 11:23
  of
• 11:23
  that.
• 11:24
  Now.
• 11:24
  Some
• 11:24
  states
• 11:25
  are
• 11:25
  doing
• 11:25
  great,
• 11:26
  others
• 11:26
  are
• 11:26
  horrible.
• 11:26
  I
• 11:27
  live
• 11:27
  in
• 11:27
  Oregon
• 11:27
  State.
• 11:28
  We
• 11:28
  are
• 11:29
  one
• 11:29
  of
• 11:30
  the
• 11:30
  biggest
• 11:30
  overspending
• 11:32
  states
• 11:32
  in
• 11:32
  the
• 11:32
  country.
• 11:33
  If
• 11:33
  you
• 11:33
  look
• 11:34
  at
• 11:34
  what
• 11:34
  we
• 11:34
  spend
• 11:34
  and
• 11:35
  the
• 11:35
  results
• 11:36
  in
• 11:36
  it,
• 11:36
  it's
• 11:36
  just
• 11:36
  what
• 11:36
  it
• 11:37
  is.
• 11:37
  So
• 11:38
  I
• 11:38
  think
• 11:38
  we're
• 11:39
  gonna
• 11:39
  have
• 11:39
  to
• 11:39
  take
• 11:39
  control
• 11:40
  of
• 11:40
  our
• 11:40
  own
• 11:40
  destiny
• 11:40
  a
• 11:40
  little
• 11:41
  bit
• 11:41
  across
• 11:41
  the
• 11:41
  country
• 11:41
  to
• 11:42
  see
• 11:42
  things
• 11:42
  change.
• 11:43
  And
• 11:43
  that's
• 11:43
  going
• 11:44
  to
• 11:44
  be
• 11:44
  up
• 11:44
  to
• 11:44
  us
• 11:44
  on
• 11:44
  election
• 11:44
  day.
• 11:45
  We
• 11:45
  need
• 11:46
  to
• 11:46
  get
• 11:46
  stuff
• 11:46
  dialed
• 11:47
  in.
• 11:47
  And
• 11:47
  this
• 11:47
  is,
• 11:47
  this
• 11:47
  is
• 11:48
  not
• 11:48
  a
• 11:48
  right
• 11:48
  or
• 11:48
  left
• 11:48
  thing
• 11:48
  here,
• 11:49
  guys.
• 11:49
  This
• 11:49
  is
• 11:49
  a,
• 11:50
  everybody
• 11:50
  needs
• 11:51
  to
• 11:51
  do
• 11:51
  it.
• 11:51
  I
• 11:52
  think
• 11:52
  that
• 11:53
  we're
• 11:53
  going
• 11:53
  to
• 11:53
  get
• 11:53
  a
• 11:53
  little
• 11:54
  bit
• 11:54
  into
• 11:54
  politics
• 11:54
  for
• 11:54
  a
• 11:55
  second
• 11:55
  here
• 11:55
  just
• 11:55
  because
• 11:55
  we're
• 11:56
  going
• 11:56
  to
• 11:56
  be
• 11:56
  talking
• 11:56
  about
• 11:56
  elected
• 11:57
  officials.
• 11:57
  But
• 11:58
  I
• 11:59
  think
• 11:59
  if
• 12:00
  we're
• 12:00
  going
• 12:00
  to
• 12:00
  shut
• 12:00
  a
• 12:00
  government
• 12:01
  down,
• 12:01
  we
• 12:02
  should
• 12:02
  have
• 12:02
  it
• 12:02
  where
• 12:03
  Congress
• 12:04
  house.
• 12:04
  Everybody
• 12:04
  out
• 12:05
  there
• 12:05
  isn't
• 12:06
  receiving
• 12:06
  paychecks
• 12:07
  as
• 12:07
  well.
• 12:08
  If
• 12:08
  the
• 12:09
  government
• 12:09
  shut
• 12:09
  down,
• 12:10
  they're
• 12:10
  not
• 12:10
  getting
• 12:10
  paid,
• 12:11
  they're
• 12:11
  not
• 12:12
  paying
• 12:12
  their
• 12:12
  bills,
• 12:12
  they're
• 12:13
  not
• 12:13
  paying
• 12:13
  anything
• 12:14
  for
• 12:14
  them.
• 12:14
  That
• 12:14
  should
• 12:14
  be
• 12:15
  the
• 12:15
  first
• 12:15
  thing
• 12:15
  that
• 12:15
  shuts
• 12:15
  down.
• 12:16
  And
• 12:16
  I'm
• 12:17
  cool
• 12:17
  with
• 12:17
  that
• 12:18
  because
• 12:19
  why
• 12:19
  these
• 12:19
  guys
• 12:19
  are
• 12:20
  off
• 12:20
  on
• 12:20
  vacation
• 12:21
  doing
• 12:21
  stuff
• 12:22
  while
• 12:23
  there's
• 12:23
  hard
• 12:23
  working
• 12:23
  people
• 12:24
  out
• 12:24
  there
• 12:24
  like
• 12:24
  our
• 12:25
  TSA
• 12:25
  people
• 12:25
  out
• 12:26
  there.
• 12:26
  Now
• 12:27
  if
• 12:27
  you're
• 12:28
  investing
• 12:28
  in
• 12:29
  commercial
• 12:30
  real
• 12:30
  estate,
• 12:31
  hope
• 12:32
  you're
• 12:32
  not
• 12:32
  in
• 12:32
  Portland
• 12:33
  because
• 12:33
  you
• 12:33
  have
• 12:34
  just
• 12:34
  lost
• 12:34
  your

  ass
• 12:35
  on
• 12:35
  this
• 12:35
  one.
• 12:36
  So
• 12:36
  let
• 12:36
  me
• 12:36
  tell
• 12:36
  you
• 12:36
  a
• 12:37
  little
• 12:37
  bit
• 12:37
  what's

  going
• 12:37
  on
• 12:37
  in
• 12:37
  my
• 12:37
  city
• 12:38
  here,
• 12:38
  for
• 12:38
  instance,
• 12:38
  and
• 12:39
  we're
• 12:39
  seeing
• 12:39
  this
• 12:39
  in
• 12:39
  other
• 12:40
  cities
• 12:40
  across
• 12:40
  the
• 12:40
  country.

  Our
• 12:41

  office
• 12:43
  vacancy
• 12:43
  rate
• 12:44
  is
• 12:44
  probably
• 12:45
  somewhere
• 12:45
  at
• 12:46
  34
• 12:47
  and
• 12:47
  a
• 12:47
  half
• 12:48
  in
• 12:48
  May,
• 12:48
  mid
• 12:49
  to
• 12:49
  late
• 12:49
  2025.
• 12:50
  Citywide,
• 12:51
  it's
• 12:51
  close
• 12:52
  to
• 12:52
  30%
• 12:53
  and
• 12:53
  it's
• 12:54
  10
• 12:54
  to
• 12:54
  15%
• 12:55
  higher
• 12:55
  than
• 12:55
  most
• 12:56
  national
• 12:56
  areas.
• 12:57
  Now
• 12:57
  if
• 12:57
  you
• 12:58
  want
• 12:58
  to
• 12:58
  see
• 12:58
  a
• 12:58
  collapse,
• 12:59
  Portland
• 13:00
  has
• 13:00
  crashed
• 13:01
  and
• 13:01
  burned.
• 13:02
  Portland's

  20
• 13:03
  largest
• 13:04

  70%
• 13:07
  of

  their
• 13:08
  combined
• 13:09
  market
• 13:09
  value
• 13:10
  since
• 13:10
  2019.
• 13:12
  That's
• 13:12
  just
• 13:12
  a
• 13:12
  little
• 13:12
  drop
• 13:13
  of
• 13:13
  about
• 13:13
  2
• 13:13
  billion
• 13:13
  bucks

  from

  to
• 13:15
  under

  1
• 13:15
  billion.
• 13:16
  So
• 13:16
  if
• 13:16
  you
• 13:16
  look
• 13:16
  at
• 13:17
  our
• 13:17
  big

  Big

  45
• 13:22
  million
• 13:22
  in
• 13:23
  2025,
• 13:24
  2015,
• 13:25
  those
• 13:26
  same
• 13:26
  people
• 13:26
  had
• 13:26
  bought
• 13:27
  it

  for

• 13:32
  PacWest

  center,
• 13:33
  that's
• 13:34
  where
• 13:34
  KXL
• 13:34
  we
• 13:35
  were
• 13:35
  just

  talking

  about

  broadcast

  sold

  2016

• 13:41
  So
• 13:42
  you're
• 13:42
  seeing
• 13:42
  that
• 13:43
  kind
• 13:43
  of
• 13:43
  stuff
• 13:43
  citywide.
• 13:44
  And
• 13:45
  so
• 13:45
  these

  fire
• 13:46
  sales
• 13:46
  of
• 13:46
  people
• 13:47
  just
• 13:47
  going,
• 13:47
  whoa,
• 13:47
  we've
• 13:48
  lost
• 13:48
  it
• 13:48
  this
• 13:48
  bad.
• 13:48
  We're
• 13:49
  out.
• 13:50
  And
• 13:50
  so
• 13:51
  that
• 13:51
  put
• 13:51
  Portland
• 13:52
  ranking
• 13:53
  80th
• 13:53
  out

• 14:01
  Who
• 14:01
  was
• 14:01
  worse?
• 14:02
  Hartford,
• 14:02
  Connecticut
• 14:03
  and
• 14:03
  the
• 14:04
  metro
• 14:04

• 14:04
  also
• 14:04
  lost

  in

  2025,
• 14:07
  fourth
• 14:08
  worst
• 14:08
  nationally.
• 14:09
  So
• 14:10
  that's
• 14:10
  what
• 14:11
  we're
• 14:11
  seeing
• 14:11
  out
• 14:11
  there.
• 14:12
  And
• 14:12
  yeah,
• 14:12
  if
• 14:12
  you
• 14:13
  walk
• 14:13
  around
• 14:13
  town,
• 14:13
  it
• 14:13
  can
• 14:14
  be
• 14:14
  a
• 14:14
  ghost
• 14:14
  town
• 14:14
  down.
• 14:15
  So
• 14:16
  what
• 14:16
  is
• 14:16
  the
• 14:16
  reason
• 14:16
  for
• 14:17
  that?
• 14:17
  In
• 14:17
  a
• 14:18
  place
• 14:18
  where
• 14:18
  people
• 14:18
  go,
• 14:19
  the
• 14:19
  taxes
• 14:19
  are
• 14:19
  high,
• 14:20
  it's
• 14:20
  dangerous
• 14:21
  walking
• 14:21
  the
• 14:21
  streets
• 14:22
  and
• 14:22
  nobody
• 14:22
  wants
• 14:23
  to
• 14:23
  be
• 14:23
  there.
• 14:24
  So
• 14:24
  all
• 14:24
  of
• 14:24
  a
• 14:24
  sudden
• 14:25
  you
• 14:25
  see
• 14:25
  companies
• 14:26
  moving
• 14:26
  to
• 14:27
  Nashville,
• 14:28
  companies
• 14:28
  moving
• 14:29
  to
• 14:29
  other
• 14:29
  places,
• 14:30
  Texas,
• 14:31
  Florida,
• 14:32
  Austin,
• 14:32
  Texas,
• 14:33
  to
• 14:33
  be
• 14:33
  specific.
• 14:34
  So
• 14:35
  we're
• 14:35
  seeing
• 14:35
  that.
• 14:36
  So
• 14:36
  we've
• 14:36
  seen
• 14:37
  big
• 14:37
  crash
• 14:37
  on
• 14:38
  that.
• 14:38
  We'll
• 14:39
  see
• 14:39
  what
• 14:39
  happens.
• 14:40
  That's
• 14:40
  going
• 14:41
  to
• 14:41
  take
• 14:41
  probably
• 14:42
  years
• 14:42
  for
• 14:42
  that
• 14:42
  to
• 14:43
  come
• 14:43
  back
• 14:43
  because
• 14:44
  they're
• 14:44
  still
• 14:45
  making
• 14:45
  the
• 14:45
  same
• 14:45
  decisions
• 14:46
  down
• 14:46
  there.
• 14:46
  Cities
• 14:47
  like
• 14:47
  Portland.
• 14:47
  Could
• 14:47
  values
• 14:48
  go
• 14:48
  down?
• 14:49
  Yeah.
• 14:49
  If
• 14:49
  we
• 14:49
  keep
• 14:50
  losing
• 14:50
  businesses,
• 14:51
  absolutely.
• 14:52
  Is
• 14:52
  it
• 14:52
  going
• 14:52
  to
• 14:53
  crash
• 14:53
  now?
• 14:54
  Because
• 14:54
  once
• 14:55
  prices
• 14:56
  get
• 14:56
  low,
• 14:56
  people
• 14:56
  that
• 14:57
  are
• 14:57
  in
• 14:57
  apartments
• 14:57
  that
• 14:57
  want
• 14:58
  to
• 14:58
  get
• 14:58
  up
• 14:58
  into
• 14:58
  that,
• 14:58
  they
• 14:59
  start
• 14:59
  buying.
• 15:00
  And
• 15:00
  that's
• 15:00
  going
• 15:00
  to
• 15:00
  be
• 15:00
  interesting.
• 15:01
  But
• 15:01
  I
• 15:01
  just
• 15:01
  really
• 15:01
  wanted
• 15:01
  to
• 15:01
  get
• 15:02
  into
