• 1:49
  Speaker 1: it's too. Early And i'm not saying that as a

• 2:14
  Speaker 1: or treat Or. Thanksgiving it is far too early to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: be Putting christmas stuff out at the. Stores AND i
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: know that everybody wants to get as, much you, know
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: bang for their buck as. Possible but you, KNOW i
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: think that would be accomplished through atmosphere and good. DEALS
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: i Missed christmas, atmosphere the hubbub of holiday, shopping if you.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: WILL i, know we don't have downtowns. Anymore we don't
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: have we don't have shopping malls all over the place.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Anymore it's many of the stores that we've seen here
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: have gone away in the last couple of. DECADES i get,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That but there was something magic Before amazon about going
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: out and the hustle and bustle Of christmas shopping and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: carrying all your stuff and trying to keep it balanced
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: until you finally got back to your, car and that
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: kind of. THING i enjoyed, that BUT i enjoy it
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: at the proper time of. Year if you, think after
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: my conversation With mark last week THAT i am not
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: yet ready for pumpkins, spice you can only imagine how
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: not READY i am For. Christmas AND i say this
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: laughably because the last Thing mark AND i were talking
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: about there Was Donald trump Wanting congress to vote on
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: This Daylight savings bill or daylight saving. BILL i guess
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it is to make permanent daylight saving. Time it makes
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: as much sense to do that as it does to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: have a bill that says you can't Put christmas stuff
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: out until Like november. FIRST i think that's a good.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Time right After, halloween Before. Thanksgiving Make Black Friday Black friday,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: again Because Black friday, starts it'll BE i guarantee you
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: The Black friday. Adds so we're gonna start here in
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the next couple of, weeks before the end Of august
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Early Black. Friday shop now get the best deals. Again
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the magic we are losing so very much because everybody
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: wants to do stuff on their own. Schedule that that universal,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: joy that universal feeling that we used to have at
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the holiday, season it, dwindles it goes. Away tradition.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Is.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Good State fair just finished. UP i said at the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: beginning of The State, fair there was something about the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: tradition of getting up at six am on the first
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: day of the, fair go, downstairs turn on THE. Tv
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it was, usually Frankly channel, ten because it seemed like
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: they were always broadcasting live from the. Fair and there
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: was the, governor you, know cutting the ribbon and opening
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: The State. Fair AND i heard the numbers were record
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: SETTING i don't know how we used to really pride
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: ourselves Onto ohio And texas would go back and forth
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and who was the biggest state? Fair and THEN i guess.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Billionman they said he was cooking the books and manipulating,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: numbers and people who went to their car to get
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: something and came back were counted as two visits and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that kind of. Thing so so that whole rivalry With
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: texas kind of went by the. Wayside but it, JUST
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: i don't, know it doesn't seem to me like the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: hoopla was there for the State fair this year and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that opening day grandeur of ribbon cutting and sleeping in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the uh what was the barn the governor used to sleep?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: In OH i can't remember the name of, it but
