The Mark Arum Show 06-26-26 HR 1

Welcome friends to this amazing Friday. It is Friday, which is amazing. It's a payday Friday, yes, confirmed. It hit the direct deposit and it's a donut. I mean, it's just a great Friday. It's beautiful weather out there. Phenomenal. And it's, we've come to that point financially, Deborah, where I, like, set the alarm for 12.01 a.m. to make sure the direct deposit hits. Like that, that's how difficult financially things have been for all of us, you know, years ago. I'd be like, oh, do we get paid? I don't know. Now I know. I want to know when that direct deposit hits. I know you might be in a similar situation. So I want to help you out 10, 12 a.m.ish. We're going to do our grocery and gas. Giveaway a chance for you, a $150 gas card, $150 grocery card. and a free HVAC check for my friends at reliable heating and air. And I know it's tough out there because was it Judd doing the Kroger Point story, Deborah? And you were like, you were like, what? I can use my Kroger points for groceries. That's huge. Is that a big deal? To me it is. Like $10 off your grocery bill? Yeah. Did Judd do that story? Or am I misremember? Yeah. Judd's not even paying attention. Judd doesn't want to talk anymore. So I've been to Kroger, but obviously I usually shop at public. So I don't have, I've never taken advantage of the Kroger. proger plus gas card or whatever that mark aeline used to be a fan of that um and you could you could use your corger points to save on gas but now Judd broke the news. He does not want to talk to us today for whatever reason. I'll talk to you. I'm here. I'm sorry. So you can use your Kroger points for groceries. Yes, you can use them for groceries now. Up to $10, I think. I've never seen Debra that excited. I thought the same thing. Thank you. In all actuality, Austin Ella wrote the story. But when I read it on the air, I was like, oh my gosh, I was excited as I was reading it. $10 is huge. It is. So, like, give me some sort of background here. Like, how many Kroger points do you have? that usually are accumulated. Okay, so say you go to the grocery store and you spend $100, right? You'll get $10, right? So that those points can be used towards your next bill. Okay. But usually you could only use those for gas. For gas, right. That's that is big. Which still is a big deal. Your 10 cents off for gas is still enough, too. But the fact that you can use it either way is enormous. But the fact that gas prices are dropping and grocery prices are not. Right. And groceries aren't. You were so excited. You were so excited. Serial prices are still very high. Serial price. You've got to, you know, whatever it takes. Avocados. I just want to read. What I know you react to a story that way, I know, like, we better talk about that because you are very excited that you can use your Kroger points now to duct from your grocery bill. Anyway, grocery gas giveaway coming up at 1012 a.m. Scott Slade's going to join us live at 10.05. A little bonus Scott Slade here. Bill Crane at 1035, our political analyst. Deborah's got another pair of journey tickets to give away. I want to start with a World Cup recap because I was in, I went to bed yesterday, Deborah. at 7.06 p.m. You sent me a message really early and I'm like, oh, maybe you're not feeling well. I wonder what I should do. But I was just like, okay. I had a long day yesterday and I got a long day today and then we're going on vacation tomorrow. So I was like, I need to get a full night sleep tonight. So I did. So and Maya's like, I'm going to watch the Japanese World Cup.

You know. Oh, yeah. Are you okay watching bed? I'm like, I'm going to be fine. I'm going to have the ear buds in. And so she's watching the Japanese match. And I can't hear anything. But I know the bed starts shaking a couple times. I guess that's when Japan scored. And when they were playing Norway? They played Sweden. Sweden. It was a draw. It was a draw. So I woke up first thing. I said, hey, Maya, did Japan win? She said, no. I said, they lose? She goes, no, is a draw? I'm like, is that bad? She's like, well, it's not as good as a win. And then so that was a 7 p.m. kickoff, whatever they call it. But U.S. didn't play till 10. I obviously was deep in REM sleep. United States lost, surprisingly. So I was asleep too because, you know, we get up very early to do this show. So I had already gone to sleep. But I woke up and that was the first thing I checked because I listened to European radio. Yeah. So they'll tell you all the updates. And then it's on Twitter everywhere. U.S. lost in the very, like, end of the match to Turkey A, who was already disqualified. Turkey, it doesn't matter if they won or not. They were not going to move on. This was just pride for them. This is a pride game. Yeah, this is their last match. I mean, of course, you're still going to give it to all. It's a World Cup. But it didn't matter what they did. They're not moving on. Same thing for the U.S. men's team. We already clinched our next division. It didn't matter. But we didn't throw, like, our B team out there just to say, hey, we're going through. Yeah. It was like a last minute kick. It was a last minute shot. Yeah. And we just at the very end, the U.S. lost to Turkey. Which everybody was very surprised. It took away our streak. You know, we're no longer undefeated. But the U.S. still moved on to the next round. I want to get to that in a second. When did Turkey become Turkey, by the way? Years ago because they started, people were making fun of Turkey the animal and Turkey the country. So they want to be Turkey A now. So that was... That's one of the reasons, yeah. Because they were being mocked. And I think in the correct pronunciation of the language, it's probably Turkey. Okay. All right. So this is where I lose it because I'm used to like this, the NCAA bracket 64 where you just win and you go on. So like I've always been confused by the World Cup situation. So the U.S. lost yesterday, but it didn't matter because we are advancing to the next round. Right. But you never know who you're going to play until... We are playing Bosnia and Herzegovina in the next round. Okay. I would imagine we're probably favored. We're favored to win that. Yes, we are. All right. But we didn't know until... Until yesterday. That's so weird to me. Like, why don't we have like those brackets? Because there's so many. They've added... And it depends on who wins your bracket. Who wins the bracket and how many points. Like, you get... More points if you win, a point if you draw, zero points if you lose. But if everybody draws, then it has to go by a goal difference. So if you have, if you score three goals versus two goals. Oh, the amount of goals factors into it. Right. That's how it goes into. That's why it's so confusing. And that's why you have to wait until almost all the teams play to actually get that last team. But the U.S. is playing Bosnia and Herzegovina. I blame our assistant program director, Chris Crawford, on this loss. He was at the match. It's what he's been gone all week. He went out to the West Coast. He's got friends out there. He was bragging how he got tickets before I did. And, oh, I'm going to go to the match and everything. And they lost. I even got him a little World Cup souvenir thing. And he sent me pictures from the pitch. And they lost. Yeah. When in doubt, Blame Crawford, 100%. Ken taught me that years ago. I'm sure he was wearing his USA sweater and everything. All right. So the United States advances to play Bosnia or Herzegovina. Do we know where they're playing?

They're still out in California. Okay. Yeah. And here in Atlanta, the World Cup. Our next match here is Saturday, I believe. It's Uzbekistan and Congo. Oh, heard. Okay. Very good. Maya said that she was not happy that Japan, apparently, is going to play Brazil now, which I imagine. Yeah, Brazil's favorite draw. Yeah. All right. So we're caught up to here. I was watching the, like, I saw like the first seven minutes of the Japan, Holland, Norway, Sweden match. And have you watched any of the matches, Vaney on TV? I have not watched any of them. No, Judd, have you watched any of the World Cup games yet on TV? I have. All right, so I'm still in basketball mind frame, and because of the Knicks title, I'm going to mention it because Judd hates when I mention it. But I'm watching this World Cup match, Japan versus Sweden, and I'm like, oh, back court. Back court violation. Why didn't they call it back court violation? You know what a back court violation is in basketball? They don't have that in soccer. Not quite the same. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, that's right. But I think soccer might be football, might be more interesting if they did back court violations. They've got their own side. Yeah, you got a different set of violations. No, I understand. But so, you know, you can kick it to the other side of the field and regroup. You can't do that in basketball. Like, uh... Trey Young now with the Wizards who signed it, and it regregiously awful, big contract for the Wizards, by the way. He can't throw it back court to regroup. I think soccer might be more interesting if there's back court violations. They should have a shot clock, too. Yeah. You can hold on the soccer? Wow, could you imagine that? Like a 10-minute shot clock, though. I mean, I do enjoy watching the World Cup. The one rule I can't. wrap my head around is. Offsides. Yes. No one understands. I don't understand. So the person, you can't, the person can't be further along than the ball. Right. You can be further along than the other team and the ball. Yeah. It's really, it took me a long time to figure it out and I still think I get it confused. But anyway, I think back court violation. That might be, that might be something to, you know, I don't know. I know FIFA doesn't want to Americanize the game. No, definitely. But I sat up. I was like, back court. Mine is like, what the hell are you talking about? I'm like, he kicked it back the line. They do have other leagues. Like there's Octagon soccer, so maybe that works theirs. Yeah, I just thought. Oh, and another thing, I don't know yellow card. I know red card is really bad. That means you're off. They kick you off. They kick you off. The determination. So again, this is all from seven minutes of watching the Japanese match yesterday. How you determine a yellow card. It's a violation. Like if you foul somebody, just like you would in the NFL, right? They throw a flag on the play, foul, face mask or something like that. What if Vinny and I are playing against each other in a soccer match? And I get... Three yellow cards. Do three yellow cards equal a red card? Yes, you're getting kicked up. Okay, so there is a number. There's a max of enough. Like a tech in a flagrant. Yeah, it's similar to that. So you can't just accumulate yellow flags. No, eventually they're going to kick you out. Yep. And it'll hold over for like one or two games sometimes.

Oh, so, oh, all right. Yeah, so if you get like a bunch of yellow cards or a red card, sometimes it's not just that match, it'll be the next match. Yeah, I, and this happens in the NBA a lot, the flopping issue. That soccer's known for that. It was pretty, I mean, again, I watched seven minutes of this match. I got all of this to take away yesterday. Like some, they're like flopping. Which means, like, they got bumped a little bit and they go, oh, no, and they fall on the ground. They're hoping, yeah, they're hoping to get like some type of violation. A lot of the refs don't call it. And they're also hoping to get some more times. Like, you're not going to stop like you would in the NFL to make sure and go look at what I call it, VAR rather than instant replay. That's where you get time on at the end of it. So they're kind of hoping if I fall and think there's a follow, it'll just add some more time. Interesting. Yeah, all right. I'm going to watch a full match someday and take. And give, but all right, back court, yellow cards, off sides. I got all that straightened out. If, if, where's the World Cup final being held, Deborah? New York or what's the stadium in New York? It's in New Jersey. The one that we can't go to. Yeah. The Meadowlands, whatever they call it now, MetLife. If the United States makes it to the finals. And that's a, that would be huge. There is a good, it's a good team this year. They have a good team and a good draw, right? That's what everyone says. Oh, they, they have a good time. Yeah. How expensive will the tickets be if the United States makes the finals of the World Cup? I mean, they were all, because you could already buy tickets, right, before anyone knew any of the team. And they were already, what, 50, right? Yeah. Can you imagine what? Twice as much, what the price would be? More than your Nick's NBA playoffs that you and Ken wanted to go to? And that's with like 15,000 fans. Metal, like there's, what is it, 80,000 seats probably in there? Yeah. So there's more, that would, I mean, obviously, I'm rooting for the United States. That's where you see all of Hollywood, though, right? But that's, yeah, not even, like people that have never watched a soccer game. will want to go to that. Absolutely. Yeah. That's going to be, I bet all the ticket scalpers, the brokers, that's what they're rooting for, right? The United States to make the final. They want the United States to go as far as possible. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, it's a good, it's a good team always, you know, red, white and blue stars and stripes. I don't know if they're going to beat some of those top teams. One of the biggest, I think one of the biggest match to head matchups today. Mbapé versus France and Norway Mbapapé and Erland Harlan. Harlan. They're like the two best strikers. Yes. Yeah. When is that? That's today. That's today. Oh, all right. I got to take so over to the vet. No, no nap today. That's why I slept yesterday. Okay. All right. So I'm out. I'm actually getting FOMO now. I've always said, oh, I'd like to do. You want to come to church with me? See if you score a ticket. If I weren't out of town, I would go to church with you for sure. But I think I'm going to try to. try to get to a World Cup match here in Atlanta. Because I'm never going to have another chance. That's why I wanted to go so bad. When is it going to be one mortar right away? Yeah, very excited. All right, back court violations. The next World Cup will have back court violations.

923 on the Mark Aaron show trying to get you in the mood early on this Friday. Not really. Chris Isaac, the singer of this song, Wicked Game, turned 70 today. Loved this video, black and white video on the beach with that beautiful woman. Helena Christensen. Yes, this was a really popular song. I, Chris, didn't he, there was a controversy with Chris Isaac and Cameron Diaz at some award ceremony. Do you remember this? Oh, he like forcibly kissed her and she was visually like, did not like it. Like, hey, get off me. And then some, an actor, maybe it was Jim Carrey got retribution. Like tried to kiss him, you know, forcibly kiss him. Anyway, that's a really good song, really good video. Welcome back to the Mark Aram show. A couple of big local stories. Let's update the dat. We need a data set or sounder. since we talk about data centers so much. There is an update in data centers in Georgia. What can you tell us, Deborah? We talk about data centers a lot because Georgia is a big place for them to build data centers. In fact, it's increased about 300% from last year. And the minute they're done, they're already full. They're full of server farms and they just need another one immediately. So that's why there's always data centers in the news here. So as soon as they build one. They're done. Yeah, they're ready to be used. I know. I guess we're making too many AI photos. There's got to be, I watched a video the other day about Montana. It was like a three-minute video on social media about how sparsely populated Montana is in the size of the state. Like Montana is the fourth biggest state in the union. It's bigger than Germany, like the country. And there's so few people there. Can we just find, and I'm not talking about like beautiful nature spots like white fish and, you know, where they filmed Yellowstone. But there's like the eastern Montana is just like flat land. There's nothing going on. Can we just be like, all right, you know what? We're going to build all our data centers there. Let's just do that. No one has to worry about anything and just find a spot. Because we're not alone. Like people all over the country are like we don't want these data centers built in suburbs or in cities because of whatever. Let's just invest money. Let's buy half of eastern Montana, not even half, like a tenth of eastern Montana and be like, all right, this is where the data centers go. And no one ever has to deal with it. This is pretty interesting. Speaking of things that people don't want, apparently no one wants self-storage facilities in their neighborhoods. And I believe the city of Atlanta now is putting a pause on building any of these new facilities. Yeah, so Mayor Dickens is basically saying there's a moratorium on any new self-storage facilities. And it's not necessarily that people don't want them. It's like, is the middle of the city the best place for it? Should that be more like, if there's a food desert, do we really need to put a self-storage there? Oh, the use of land. Should this city area that's close to mass transit be affordable housing? or just something that the city could use versus this empty place that people might go to twice a year. It's funny. If you asked your grandparents or I'm thinking to my great-grandmother, Nana Minnie, who came over from Eastern Europe immigrated to the United States and told her, hey, in 2026, we have so much stuff that we can't fit it all in our houses, Nana. So we have to rent a box.

at this storage facility place to stuff our junk in. A woman who came over with maybe two suitcases? Not, not even. Like a handbag and 42 cents. You know, gets to Ellis Island with nothing. And in 2026, yeah, I have a five bedroom four bathroom house. Nana, and I don't, but hypothetically, talking to Nana Mini from above. I've got a 6,500 square foot house, but you know what, Nana? I just got so much junk. I need to rent a storage facility. As long as the storage facilities are there, we can still watch Storage Wars. Ever you ever watched that reality show? I've seen like one or two episodes. I actually kind of dig it. One of the guys died recently on Storage Wars. I've had a store. I'm an idiot. I've had a storage unit for 20 years. Really? Is it all baseball cards? It's mostly baseball cards. Okay. But I mean, it's a total waste of money. Like I'd never go there. So whatever there is not obviously valuable. I need to get rid of that. Get rid of that storage unit. All right, a couple of interesting local stories there. Self storage pause in the ATL and Georgia Data Centers keep on coming and coming and coming. All right, yesterday during the show, if you're listening to the Supreme Court, dropped some big decisions. But because we were on the fly, I wasn't able to really break it down. We will break it down for you next. Stephen Portnoy from ABC next on the Mark Abrams show.

I take pride in the words, I'm feeling. On this date in 1963, that was president, John F. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in West Berlin. He was greeted by more than a million people of the divided cities' residents. In that speech, he made his famous declaration. I take pride in the words, is bin, I'm feeling. So I don't know if this is true or not, Deborah. He meant to say, I am a Berliner. I think that's pretty close. I am a Berlin. But the sheet I'm saying is it translated literally to I am a jelly donut. Is that true? I, Ichbin is I am, right? Berliner. I don't know. Chrissy's the German. Yeah, Chrissy knows German. Christina in the Severe weather center. Let me know if that, because that can't be true, right? Am I just finding out about now that he meant to say I am a Berliner, but he actually said, I am a jelly donut? A berliner is a jelly donut. It is. Okay. Bareliner. That's awesome. I like international espionage. I just finished the agency, which is great. And I'm thinking like Michael Bourne. No, the Bourne's identity. I had a born identity moment yesterday leaving the show. There's very, you know, folks, you know me. I am not anything like the Bourne character at all. I'm not James Bond. I'm not cool. I am the opposite of that. But I felt for a minute I was Jason Bourne. So I'm driving home on 85 North. And apparently like an accident happened like two minutes before I'm getting up. And I see the brake lights. And I didn't like make an illegal turn, but I was like born like, like someone's chasing me. And I got off the exit at Northruitt Hills and shot up the expressway. And it was like you could hear the born music in the background like, find the Jason Bourne, born identity music, Vin. Everyone knows this. I think it would help my story out. So I'm at 85 North. I'm like, oh, no, there's a crash up there. And I was just like like butter, just went. got off the Northrowood Hell's exit, and then you stay to the left, it takes to the 85 Access Road, and I'm, like, coming along, like, I'm Jason Bourne, like, someone's chasing me, and I just avoided this, and I'm looking at my left, and 85's backed up, and I get on 85 the access road, and I get off a... It was, like, I rarely feel cool, but that was a really cool moment for me yesterday. I hope you experienced one of those cool moments this weekend. You probably have cool moments like that all the time, Deborah, where you're... Maybe not quite like that. You're Deborah born. I don't know about that. Did you find the song, Vinny? No, he can't find the song. All right, Vinnie's not getting started the show. Anyway, he'll find the born music, and I'll retell that story in the 11 o'clock hour because I felt so cool yesterday. All right, let's go to the nation's capital. Joining us from ABC News, Stephen Katie Porter. Stephen, good morning. Yesterday during the show, we started getting revelations of Supreme Court decisions. We were kind of doing it on the fly. Didn't really have a chance to break down what the Supreme Court had to say yesterday. Do that for us. What exactly did we hear from the Supremes?

from Haiti and Syria, the administration has the power to end that status and essentially say to those people, hundreds of thousands of them, and they have to go home now. They have to go home. The Supreme Court rejected the argument that this is based on racial animus. And while Samuel Alito made a reference to what then candidate Donald Trump said in 2024 that Haitian migrants in Ohio and Springfield were eating household pets, He said that kind of language would have scandalized the country in an earlier era. Nevertheless, he doesn't see evidence of racial animus. And that the decision as to when to apply or take away temporary protected status is properly within the executive branch and not something that courts should be second-guess. Interesting. Stephen Portnay from ABC joining us on the Mark Aaron Show. So what's left on the Supreme Court docket? What decisions are we still awaiting? Well, while the court gave two big wins to the administration yesterday on immigration, we're still waiting to see where the court... going to come down on this question of birthright citizenship and whether the president has the power to redefine the terms by executive order. Most legal observers that we've spoken with say that they'd be very surprised if the court's going to give Trump a win there. We also are waiting decisions from the High Court on the rights of transgender athletes in school sports in various states with their laws and also the power of the president to fire officials who serve on... independent agency commissions and ultimately the Federal Reserve. Interesting. Stephen, great breakdown as always appreciated. Have a great weekend, my friend. You bet. You too, Mark. So the big court decision that we are awaiting is that birthright citizenship issue. Scott Slay is going to join us at 10.05 right after the news. A rare. Friday appearance by Scott Slate. He is going to preview that. He's got a great interview on that big birthright citizenship issue that has yet to be determined by the Supreme Court. So Scott Slade live with us after the news attend. Just picked up some breaking news. And this is phenomenal breaking news. I am so happy. Marcy Williams is going to join me in the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame. She is part of the 2026 induction. By the way, it's criminal. criminal that I got into the Radio Hall of Fame before Marcy Williams, long overdue, well-deserved. I am so happy for my friend and colleague Marcy Williams entering the Radio Hall of Fame. Other inductees, Joel Williams. Oh, I know Joel, D-U-N and, yeah, Joel, very deserving. It's 6 o'clock. It's time for Greg Street to rock. Greg Street also getting inducted into Hall of Fame and Georgia legend Lawrence Smith. Also, you know him from, you know, all right, Lauren. That, you know, the toss from Larry Munson and Lauren on the sidelines at Sanford Stadium and Dallas McCade, country legend. All right, so new inductees into the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame, Dallas McCade, Lauren Smith, Greg Street, Joel Williams, and my, I used to call her my work mom, Marcy Williams. Yeah, she was my word. I love Marcy Williams. Oh, I'm so happy for her. It's criminal. that i got in before marcy williams but uh all right everything's right with the world so we're going to go to that ceremony then debor i'm gonna get a table for us you down okay yeah we'll go last three in the couple last years like ashley christie my vocal okay yeah but i don't i'm not counting on

the station to get us a table. Oh, okay, for sure. Yeah. I'll try to get Chris Camp to come down from Rhode Island. Oh, that'd be great. Yeah. Oh, I'm so happy from Ars Williams. She's phenomenal. My work mom joining me in the hall. It's criminal that I was in there. I still, it's so funny. I ran into Ryan Cameron at a vet not long ago, and he's still mad at me because he previously was the youngest. Georgia Radio Hall of Fame inductee. And then I got inducted and smashed the record. Yeah. And then Vinny next year. Oh, that would be something. Yeah. Oh, I'm so happy. Marcy Williams. Marcy Williams. All right. When we come back, we're going to hit our top local stories again. A reminder that our grass, a grass. Our grocery and gas giveaway coming up around 1012 a.m. You call in and you can win a $150. Grocery card, $150. gas card, and a free HVAC check, courtesy of my friends at reliable heating in air. So I'm driving 85 northbound. I see this crash just out the Claremont Road. Just happened. Break lights everywhere. Smoke rising. I slide over, get off the Northruid Hills exit, scoot up the 85 access northbound road. Fly by the delays to my left. Yeah, it makes every story cooler when you play the Jason Bourne music. Can we add this to our rejoins being? Our bumper music. I like this. Yeah. This is Moby, by the way. I'm not Moby. That's Moby. Maybe you should have, like, new songs to add. I sent it like 10 options. Yeah, come on. I put them in. You got a whole week to get him updated. Anyway, I felt like Jason Bourne. First time in my life, I felt really, really cool. All right, welcome back to the Mark Aram Show. 1135. We're going to check in with the Geological Society. Those massive deadly earthquakes in Venezuela, the death tolls rising, but was scary as ever. There's still 25,000 people unaccounted for. Just horrible tragedy there. We'll get a breakdown from the... Geological Society after the news at 1130. A quick update on that biolab plume, the infamous now biolab fire. I think Georgia Tech has... determined what exactly was in that plume that was floating over Metro Atlanta? Yeah, just down the street, Georgia Tech has been able to help out with this study. So this was back in 2024. I remember the plume that we were watching for like days? And now they said that there were levels of bromine in it. But do you remember when they came out with the report saying, oh, it was really minimal. It shouldn't have affected people that much. Well, Georgia Tech did their own. case on this and they basically said all of these levels are way higher like four times higher than they were originally reported and that's why so many people were feeling sick and didn't people call and say like their cars are rusted out and stuff like after this plume so georgia tech did their own research bio lab has not really much said anything about the whole thing i wonder if the tech research results will be uh allowed in court

Like that because we just I think last week there was two local law enforcement authorities that have had health problems because of the file at the bio lab and they're suing somebody that I guess the biolab parent company. I wonder if this new data is going to be admissible in court. Does it say any other chemicals or anything, any other thing in that Georgia Tech? Let's see, including over 2,000 or two dozen chemical families, including high, dangerous amounts of bromine that can, no, really just bromine is the big one that it mentions. Is it bromine or bromine? I don't know. I'm not a scientist. I always say bromine. Maybe it is. Yeah, I don't know. Whatever. All right. Good job, Georgia Tech. Get on there. I've been talking ad nauseum about the Great American State Fair. I really want to get up there to D.C. I think it runs through July 17th, so I might have a chance, mostly for the food. But a food item at the Great American State Fair is drawing ire on social media. What food item is it, Deborah, and why are people mad at it? Specifically, the fans that are out there kind of posting this on social media saying they went to get one of those giant pretzel. which are delicious, but they're costing about 25 bucks if you want to get a big pretzel. Now, food affairs is expensive. Oh, yeah. And they've had some other things on there. Like it's $2 if you want some water, which actually isn't too bad for the water. $20 smash burger, $9 lemonade.
