R2RO Radio Show: Aging Eyes and Onion Cries, Cajun Field Excitement, and an Interstellar Discussion: Space X vs. Blue Origin
Ever found yourself squinting at the newspaper, struggling with those pesky contact lenses, or tearing up while chopping onions? Well, you're not alone! Join us as we journey through the hilarious and sometimes frustrating realities of aging, with a special spotlight on changes in eyesight. We also dish out some practical kitchen safety tips, including the importance of fire extinguishers and the dangers of dousing a grease fire with water. And yes, we even narrate our funny misadventures with frying frozen turkeys!
Now, let's kick the dust off our old sports shoes and take a stroll down memory lane to Cajun Field. We reminisce about historic games, narrate the electrifying tradition of storming the field, and discuss the exciting reconstruction of the stadium. The new design promises luxury suites and a club level, offering a more comfortable and vibrant game day experience. So, buckle up sports fans, because the future of the university's athletics program is promising!
Lastly, we catapult our conversation to the stars with a segment on the mind-boggling advancements in space exploration. We marvel at the XB-37B space plane's record-breaking 908 days in space and SpaceX's Falcon program's astounding achievement of landing rockets back on Earth. We also unpack SpaceX's ambitious goal of 50 launches a year—a target they've smashed with 91 or 92 launches! And it's not just SpaceX; other players like Blue Origin are making waves in space exploration too. So, whether you're a space enthusiast or just curious, brace yourself for an out-of-this-world discussion!
Planet Radio 106.7,. The best rock on the planet. This is the R2RO show radio edit.
Speaker 2:We back too. It's been I mean, for me it's been a little while been busy working and doing other things. So it's good to Nice of you to join us. Come talk some stuff with some of my boys Back like a vertebrae no, not as upright.
Speaker 4:That's what happens at the 40, man, yeah.
Speaker 2:You have to work on it really hard.
Speaker 3:Trust me, wait till you're knocking on 50.
Speaker 4:Yeah well yeah, you're right, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1:Oh, dude, I already my arms stop being long enough to read anything.
Speaker 4:I still, I still have a-.
Speaker 2:Some distance.
Speaker 3:About foot and a half foot and a half you told me that story a bunch of times. A half just standing there with the paper. Oh yeah, my stepdad.
Speaker 1:I came in the kitchen. He was standing. He's 6'3", he's a big dude and he's standing there with the paper on the kitchen counter and he's just standing up over him. What are you doing? He's like my arms aren't long enough anymore.
Speaker 2:Hold this way out there. I never understood that, because I'm. What is it?
Speaker 1:You're nearsighted.
Speaker 2:So I can't see. Far Right, you can see here I can see near you have the nearest sight, the nearest sight, okay. So I never understood foresightedness because I was like but I don't understand, I can not see far.
Speaker 1:So it doesn't register. The closer it got, the better it got for you, yeah, for sure, that's how it was, as I was a kid. Now they're like meeting in the middle, much like my hairline date a long time ago.
Speaker 3:I'd probably be like Craig of Aged glasses and look, I don't care, just give me the glasses that work.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I can't wear contacts, Like my prescription allows it, but I cannot put contacts in my eye. I can't do it. I can't even watch someone put contacts in their eyes Dude really Dude come on, immediately start watering. I don't look, I know it's weird. Come on, I'll do it. I got you. No, bro, I'm good. Like I'm talking about it right now, my eyes are starting to water.
Speaker 4:I don't even know what it is. I'm gonna hold you down one day, until you stop, I can't.
Speaker 2:I'm serious, I can't watch somebody. I can't wait till you get drunk around me again.
Speaker 1:I mean I wore them, for I started wearing them in fifth grade, so I got. I got to the point where I could put that thing in with one hand after wet nicking in my mouth with some spit. I tried it.
Speaker 2:I tried it, I couldn't do it. I can't, I just can't do it. I don't know Weird, it's a weird thing of me, I mean.
Speaker 3:I guess, if I had to, I could figure it out, but I'm gonna toss this thing in my mouth and swish it around and I'm gonna stab it my eye, yeah.
Speaker 1:So that's a little weird man that came after lots and lots of bad ideas.
Speaker 4:Yeah, fully upset.
Speaker 1:That was the pinnacle of my skill level with these contacts.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that can't be good if you accidentally do that while you're drinking like some vodka or something.
Speaker 3:Oh, oh, oh you can chop an jalapenos, yeah.
Speaker 4:Onions or yeah. Eat ballcroffage.
Speaker 2:Mine just starts watering before my finger gets close.
Speaker 1:It's like no reject it, Reject it. Speaking of water and eyes, my friend Matt over here when I first lived with him back in our early 20s, has the most ingenious way of avoiding those crying eyes when you cut onions. Oh yeah, I've seen pictures.
Speaker 2:I might have seen you do it too. Leo thinks it's funny Motocross goggles Yep.
Speaker 3:Motocross goggles.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I walked in there one time and I think he even didn't feel like getting them off the helmet, so he had the full helmet on in the kitchen while he was cutting some onions, just in case he had some shrapnel.
Speaker 2:Knowing your juice and doing it was clean and strict.
Speaker 3:You never knew what was gonna fly around Stranger things have happened.
Speaker 1:You know, I always thought it was something that was going into my sinuses that was making it happen, but apparently not because he just had goggles on. He didn't have any kind of oh.
Speaker 3:I think I draw the line at respirator when I cook something. If you find a respirator when I'm cooking something I don't need to cook this. And.
Speaker 1:I don't know. That sounds like it might be good. No, I'm good dude. No, no, you don't need any safety gear in your kitchen no. What a question.
Speaker 3:You should have a fire extinguisher or tin. No. They've all needed a fire extinguisher once or twice, so Dude, there's no wood around here, so I can't say it. No mine.
Speaker 1:My dad did fire extinguishers for his living Growing up, so we had them around and we used them. You used them.
Speaker 4:You know how to recharge them.
Speaker 3:And fire extinguishers make great flamethrowers.
Speaker 1:Oh, the old water ones do. Yes, yeah, oh yeah. But yeah, people, if you don't have a fire extinguisher, put one in your kitchen. I've seen too many people try to put out a grease fire with water.
Speaker 5:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:That is how you turn your old house into a fire. Oh yeah, Burn for sure.
Speaker 3:Unless you're trying to make a really funny video.
Speaker 4:People do that nowadays too. Alexa did you get that?
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, how many times have we laughed at people trying to fry a frozen turkey?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that's the exact concept.
Speaker 5:Yeah, right.
Speaker 1:The frozen turkey. The water instantly evaporates and causes the oil to fly.
Speaker 3:I've seen somebody try and do it with a chain hoist, like an engine hoist. No, yeah, because they were like, ah, it's no big deal, it's just going to overflow a little bit, I'll be fine. No, it kind of exploded and yeah, everybody got it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that is the absolute worst thing to do. My dad used to do demonstrations and the things you would do.
Speaker 4:How does everyone not know yet?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 4:It's one of those things that everyone I feel like everyone should know you want to feel bad for humanity.
Speaker 1:Go read the warning labels on anything. Yeah, Because I will tell you right now, somebody went to law school. The warning labels are there because somebody did that and they got sued over it and they said you should have told me. For you it was a flammable and the court agreed you should have told them. So that is us saying those warning labels means most people don't know that and don't understand that. So we have to put it on.
Speaker 4:Yeah, we need to talk to these courts and we need to let the dumb just.
Speaker 2:We need to sell out.
Speaker 1:Chuck is fully behind Darwin's Darwin. Well, look, speaking of things blowing up, we can talk a little bit in a little while about the Cajun field coming down.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:When we come back, you'll hear more about us.
Speaker 5:The R2RO radio show.
Speaker 1:Planet radio, one of six, point seven the best rock on the planet.
Speaker 2:Speaking of rocks, rocks, concrete rocks, concrete rocks. They started today.
Speaker 1:They started tearing down Cajun field. I saw a picture or something. It's not going away, they're rebuilding it. They're taking a top piece down, but the words Cajun field are not there anymore. Oh, they took that down, yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, they're taking that whole section down, like the whole, the whole upper deck, or whatever, the grandstand, but it's also not going to be called Cajun field anymore, is it? No, it is Our Lady of Lords.
Speaker 2:Well, it has to be some type of Somebody has?
Speaker 5:to sponsor.
Speaker 4:That's right. Yeah, amen right, we got to go. But.
Speaker 2:I mean, they just like they just like knocking it down with an excavator or something right.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It'd have been cooler if they just blew it up.
Speaker 3:I mean they they're going to have one of those claws because there's a lot of rebar in that.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 3:But I mean, if you have one of those jobs, if you have a bum to go to work, no, you just destroy stuff all day Break stuff so much with heavy machinery.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like there's nothing you can't break. Yeah.
Speaker 2:He goes have at it, like you probably get signed up for that.
Speaker 4:That excavator is a huge one too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the beast of them all. Yeah, that one's. That would be super cool.
Speaker 3:It would have still been way cooler if they just blew the legs up.
Speaker 1:It's the stuff that I'm always, I'm always. Yeah, the old school Just wants to blow things up. Yeah, bro.
Speaker 4:They can't get any rebar on the turf though, guys.
Speaker 3:But it's the exact opposite of what your parents never wanted you to do. They never wanted you to break things. Oh, by the way, here's money and a giant piece of equipment. Go break that. All the way, man. All the way I broke a lot of things.
Speaker 2:Well, that's on purpose too, yeah, and they get paid to do it.
Speaker 1:Well, I did a lot of that too. It was the kid that would take things apart and then not be able to put it back together sometimes. So, it was destroyed, but it was also the kid that, just like breaking things, crash.
Speaker 3:And then they're like are they doing both sides of Cajun Field? Are you just doing one side?
Speaker 1:They're just doing the side that where the home team is the big side, it's a big side.
Speaker 5:So still, they'll do, the they'll do some stuff For you visitor.
Speaker 1:Well, they're actually going to have people sitting on that side while I think, while the construction may be still I think they're going to make the old, what would you consider?
Speaker 2:the visitor side of the field is now going to be the home side of the field for next season and then the following season they'll have the new home side done or something like that, and then the following season they'll work on upgrading and updating the visitor side. Gotcha the renderings of it that I've seen. So like that thing was built a long time ago, so it's a pretty old concept. It looks like really like it's just like a big high school stadium.
Speaker 1:It's it's how I remember my entire life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, me too. But the new one the renderings of it show it. It's pretty. It's going to be pretty cool. It looks going to be a little bit smaller I think it's actually going to hold less people but it's going to be a lot more comfortable and more luxurious.
Speaker 2:They're going to have some suites and some club levels, you know more so, like they did the same kind of concept at Tulane and Tulane stadiums really cool. It's kind of compact. It doesn't hold, you know, 70 or 80,000 people, but it for what it is. It gets really loud and it's pretty comfortable for all the people that go watch.
Speaker 1:So I mean I'm excited for it. That whole area they've done so well, like they built the athletic center, the indoor football facility, the baseball the softballs are some of the most beautiful stadiums of their con in the country.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, you know, LSU's got its thing over there in Baton Rouge, but I mean for a little laugh. Yet we got a really nice baseball park, yeah, and it holds a lot of people, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:So it'll be cool when the football team gets that done right and you know they'll fill it up. They'll be able to fill it up now and it'll look full and it'll sound full and it'll be a lot more.
Speaker 4:I mean, I don't remember seeing full Full. I think it'll be a fun environment.
Speaker 2:It'll be a lot more fun environment.
Speaker 1:Those old Jake the Loam days the stadium used to get pretty full. Yeah, we're going to Stokely. Super Bowl winner.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I missed the A&M game. I was. I passed up tickets. My brother was there To hang out.
Speaker 1:I was a senior in high school. That A&M ain't happening. Got to go run on the field, carry the goalposts. Ended up on DV afterwards, oh yeah. And then my freshman year of college is the next year, 1997. Number one Florida comes into town. Unless you beat some, I run on that field.
Speaker 3:I carry that goalpost.
Speaker 1:I end up on TV for that one. Oh yeah. So now people always talk about well, you didn't run on the field. When we beat Oliver in, I said they weren't number one, yeah.
Speaker 4:I got standards One step at a time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was a real magical moment. That was back when we stormed the field for beating somebody who was ranked, and they were ranked number 25. 25. Yeah, that was landing a gig. Cherokee with 1995.
Speaker 2:Juve Go.
Speaker 1:Εmi Goassemble Cause I stopped going Get in people. I mean, that's how good that program has got. Yeah, that's right, you're not going to storm the field just because we beat a ranked team.
Speaker 2:No, no, you're talking about UL. Yeah, I mean that's not happening.
Speaker 3:So, if I remember correctly, one of y'all has told me this before the team that hosts the game if the field is stormed, they get a fine. Yeah, yes, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard in my life.
Speaker 4:So much of the way.
Speaker 5:Really, how are?
Speaker 3:you expected to manage thousands of people. That are all like.
Speaker 1:I'm ready to go. Well, I mean, it's a safety issue, so they want to make them try. Yeah, Try.
Speaker 2:It's about trying and making announcements, and.
Speaker 4:Yeah, there's a hundred and ten thousand people. We're going to have a hundred and ten thousand cops.
Speaker 3:I got no, you're going to line up all the cops. They're going to line up like they're going to play Red Rover and they're going to hold hold hands.
Speaker 4:Electric Yep Jackets. Where? They can shock everybody, I touch them.
Speaker 1:You make it enough that you're not going to have random people storming the field for just some random game and that keeps the players and other people on the field safe, yeah, especially the visiting team, right.
Speaker 3:So visiting team gets whooped.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, do you want to be in the middle of a?
Speaker 3:bunch of fans, why no? I mean, has that happened?
Speaker 1:Oh, I mean, I'm sure it has happened at some point.
Speaker 2:They don't have a? Very nicely.
Speaker 1:I don't know if it's happened occasion field or at Tiger Stadium, but yes to Craig's point, they were not nice to them.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Has it has? I know that the field got stormed for the A&M game back in with 96, 97 or 96. Do you know of any other time that it's stormed?
Speaker 4:They stormed it again later on, early 2000s. I have to look it up. Yeah, that's possible.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I can't remember. I do know going from 98 to the 6th Part of that goalpost ended up on McKinley Street that night.
Speaker 4:That's all right Down in McKinley.
Speaker 2:Yeah but they had to take it up the hill. They couldn't get through the tunnel with it. They tried to go through the tunnel and it wouldn't fit, so they didn't went up the hill with it. Wow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they wrote a story. Is the hill going to stay on the one side? Yeah, I love. Well, yeah, it was now seats on one side. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're still going to have to look. I love that, the runs that I've seen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was one of my complaints.
Speaker 4:I didn't want them to take away the other hill either. I wanted both sides of the kids love it. It keeps the kids busy.
Speaker 1:I mean, that's one of my favorite things about Cajun Field that.
Speaker 4:I don't know that. I've seen that in another football stadium. I know I've seen a couple other, but not very often.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've seen it on some high school fields up in North Louisiana, but that's it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, very welcome in high school.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm glad we're getting something new for the football team.
Speaker 1:I'm excited for our occasions. When we come back, we'll be right back, okay, jen.
Speaker 5:It's the R2RO radio show.
Speaker 1:Planet Radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet. Welcome back to the R2RO show, Craig. You just you've been gone for a while.
Speaker 2:I've been gone. Yeah, I've been busy what you been doing. Working, working helping people send things to space.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I got to do some work over there with a couple of those different companies.
Speaker 2:Yeah, spacex, blue Origin, one of.
Speaker 1:Matt's favorite subjects is us launching things in the air.
Speaker 3:Invincible. Have you watched? Invincible.
Speaker 5:No.
Speaker 3:I did, you should. Sometimes you got to throw somebody into space. Yeah, I know, matt.
Speaker 1:Matt had one point you you were bringing it up every time something was getting launched in the space, but I think you were more excited about it and maybe not making it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean the explosion is it? The explosions are great, but it's I don't know Kind of. There's actually space happening, space travel space, this space that is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we grew up in you with the little the sign sci-fi nerds that watched all the TV shows going into the space.
Speaker 3:And now that we're doing it we're doing it they're doing it even further it is Wait, where are we? Going now. Well, they got this little. I say they somebody somebody. I haven't researched this, so the government like I'm going this way. I stumbled across it on Google News. They ain't really hiding it, so I think they call it the space plane. It's an XB seven, three or three, seven.
Speaker 4:So combination.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that thing and dude this thing is last go around. It was in space for 908 days, oh, wow, it's two and a half years, dude.
Speaker 4:Wait, it took off from like a.
Speaker 3:From underneath or on top of a Another point to yeah. What they're doing now is the SpaceX is supposed to fling one up yeah, and it's been postponed for the last two days.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so they're going to take off like from ground. Well they go be able to go into space for hundreds of days and then come back.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think, yeah, they're going. They've gradually gone. I think the first go around was like 234 days and then it gradually each trip. So it's in my mean, gradually.
Speaker 4:They're not telling anybody what they're doing with it, but Elon, elon, elon told us dude, we're going to be on Mars in the next couple of years. We're going, bro. He told us that's anything they're using the super heavy.
Speaker 3:I think heavy fling this one up, yep, because I think they're going out further than anything's ever gone for whatever amount of time.
Speaker 2:Well, it probably helps them save some fuel too, because with the B52, you're launching that from whatever 36,000, 40,000 feet, oh, so it's got to be a rest, so it has to take off and it's got to get out, whereas if on the heavy, they're going to get it in the orbit and then open up the fairings and then let it go.
Speaker 5:So the plane itself doesn't have to burn as much yeah.
Speaker 2:So SpaceX's Falcon program has Falcon 9, right, that's what they've been sending, all the Starlink satellites and stuff.
Speaker 1:That's the little single rocket Single, reusable.
Speaker 2:Right, they send it up. They can land it back on a, on what they call a drone ship or that's when I knew that they got too good at landing them again.
Speaker 1:Is Matt stop telling me that they were launching them? Yeah?
Speaker 2:because they don't blow up anymore, right? No, hey there's funny.
Speaker 1:I know you still watch them. I just he was like Scott doesn't care anymore.
Speaker 3:Honestly, the landing is what I like the most. It is pretty cool.
Speaker 1:It's super impressive.
Speaker 3:It's very strong, especially like that one, where they did them both at the same time.
Speaker 2:That's the heavy that when they launched the heavy, they'll do two at one time back on land. So it's heavy as how many rockets, three Falcon 9's strapped together and dude, they just.
Speaker 1:But they only land two of them On land.
Speaker 2:So typically when they launch a heavy, one of them is expendable, so they'll. They don't bring it back and they'll bring two back to land.
Speaker 1:Sometimes. So is that I know you told me that we use them as that. Basically the oldest one? Yeah, it's going through.
Speaker 2:I don't know how they pick that.
Speaker 1:It's been through enough missions, and we're going to retire it.
Speaker 3:First, them first out Like the food industry man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know how they Forced retirement. Yeah, forced, exactly right.
Speaker 3:They take the fins and the landing gear off of it and it's like you're not coming back, Not coming back.
Speaker 2:That's the truth, because that's how I found out. They're like why don't? Why? Well, if you're looking at the launch, look for the grid fins and the feet or the landing gear. Basically, if you don't see those on there and come back, all right. But I don't know how they choose, because I think this one I saw the pictures of it and it looks like the center one, which doesn't have the feet and the grid fins on it, is a new one. So I don't know how they pick, so I do. I know this. It probably costs more for the customer if they don't bring it back.
Speaker 1:And that heavy is what they're using to launch this plane, or is there something bigger than that that they do?
Speaker 2:Space X does have something bigger than that, but it's not, it's still in testing, as the starship is, the one is still kind of blow up.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, the starship that did see that.
Speaker 2:That's Falcon 9 heavy is a functioning. They launch somewhere is anywhere is between six and 10 of those a year right now.
Speaker 3:Wow. Yeah, I think they're going to this number sticking out my head. Twenty two thousand miles in orbit. Ok, she could be wrong. Yeah, I have to look that up on the plane.
Speaker 1:And I don't even know if people realize how often we're launching stuff In the space like just from the US, from just space X, right? So, just so, just that one company, just space X, so, and there's more, for people don't know.
Speaker 2:There's, there's, there's like probably a handful of the company's getting stuff in the smaller, some smaller, some doing some things that are trying to be bigger, like blue. Blue origin is going to have a huge rocket. It's not going to be quite as big a starship, but it's going to be pretty big. But space X last year had a goal company wise 50 launches right, which is one of pretty, pretty aggressive right. If you look at history it's really aggressive, yeah, from last year I mean, that's what I said.
Speaker 1:To one point is we would watch the rockets going in space because we didn't do it very well.
Speaker 2:No, that's why, because it was impressive to watch.
Speaker 1:Even the ones that we knew weren't coming back and weren't going to crash, it was still impressive to see something with that much firepower.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. Then this year they went to 100. They're currently at like 91 or 92 launches. It depends on if they get the one. I think they're supposed to be one tonight. I think the heavy got screwed on Sunday. They've been no the heaviest tomorrow. I just looked on Twitter or X, whatever it's called.
Speaker 1:But still, I mean they're getting close to two a week this year and we're already done like they actually did.
Speaker 2:They're probably going to hit their goal of 100 before the end of the year. They're launching almost every two days right now Holy.
Speaker 1:And that is the case again. We're talking about just space X.
Speaker 2:One company, one company. But I mean that they they're launching 80 to 85 percent. I mean Elon put something out on on X the other day that they're going to have like 85. They're on pace to do like 85 or 90 percent of the payloads into orbit.
Speaker 3:This year, just that space X. You know what I want to know? How long does it take to turn around a rocket? It's not very long. Really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they got a down pack, dude, and they have a lot of them. It's pretty cool. It's a rocket. It is extremely cool to have been doing some of the things that I've been doing over the last couple years.
Speaker 1:You remember that old movie Gattica?
Speaker 3:I barely. I remember Jude Law.
Speaker 1:You Can Walk Uma Thurman, but it was about going to space, but it was at a point where it became so. And there's this one scene in the movie where they're talking and behind them, like every 30 seconds, a rock is taken off with people going to space and they're just talking.
Speaker 2:It's whatever.
Speaker 1:It's like planes taking off and I remember watching that in the 90s and I'm like that is wild.
Speaker 3:It's not an evacuation, it's just Tuesday. Yeah, that's going to be that's going to be 2030.
Speaker 2:Like is right around the corner. Oh, I don't know. Maybe sooner.
Speaker 1:Maybe sooner, yeah, so so space, space this year, like space missions, not necessarily space tourism tourism in the 2030s.
Speaker 4:It's probably was thinking like 2030, tourism, like what you're talking about, like just going, I think people are going to orbit One, orbiting Okay yeah.
Speaker 2:Right, so like I mean there's already blue that does it, blue Origin does it with with their new Shepherd program. Eventually SpaceX is going to do some type of space tourism, just because, you know it's cool. There's a company called Space Perspective that is going to launch, basically I don't know exactly what gas, but a hot air balloon in the space and you're going to go to space for eight hours. I swear to God. It's a great idea, it's real. That's some red bull stuff, man it is You're going to take a balloon into space?
Speaker 5:You're going to go up there, you're going to hang out up there for eight hours, Bro check it out and then they're going to bring you back down.
Speaker 3:You're going to take a trip into space on a balloon.
Speaker 1:Not me, Bro. I won't even get in a hot air balloon.
Speaker 2:I'm good If I would do it. I would do it on the new Shepherd, get up there for like a like three or four minutes and come back down. It's like a 11 minute round trip. I'm good.

Speaker 1:That guy does really good. He does.
Speaker 2:He like I don't know. I know he has inside information in some places, but I think he also chased his public records to figure out who's applying for permits and all so.
Speaker 1:I got to talk to him one time. He's a pretty cool dude, yeah. The whole thing started was he's not from here, oh, and he didn't know what that was and he just said I was naturally curious and so I got out my car and went look and read the permit on the piece of paper. And that answered one question. He says, and I just kept doing it and he's gotten better at digging through public records and permits and stuff and now he has no followers.
Speaker 1:You can actually call these people Like hey, what you doing, I got a bunch of followers. That's right. You're curious about your business coming.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I think you can advertise with it. Except, accept Golf, because he made a play. I won't let him in. He made a pose today.
Speaker 2:Yep.

Speaker 2:if you work there, you have to sign. Andy, you can't take pictures of the place before they open.
Speaker 1:They have people in there over the last week and I'm sure, doing some of their soft opening.
Speaker 3:Put this way, they were some kind of way able to sidestep and ordinance, to put that gigantic sign up, so I wouldn't say that was your buddy. Yeah, doofy, probably did that.
Speaker 4:Just let him a few grand no problem the tax dollars they're going to bring in, I mean. But I mean that's I'm saying it's all money we get.
Speaker 3:Yeah. I'm going to pay my permit fee.
Speaker 1:Topgolf. Really it's a funny thing even if you don't play golf. I know I learned how to play golf but I'm not good at it. But topgolf's fun, Absolutely. It's a lot like bowling, but with golf clubs, which means Do they provide clubs?
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, oh cool, yes, yeah, you need to come.

Speaker 2:Everybody had a good time, yeah. I beat those actual golfers.
Speaker 4:I am not an actual golfer.
Speaker 2:I play golf, I own clubs and I pay green fees, but I got beat by people who don't really hit the golf balls.
