No, I'll run this town to be near you. 11.05 on an extremely busy newsday Friday. Welcome back, friends, Mark Aram and crew with you till noon coming up in 30 minutes. Deborah's got weird Al Yankovic tickets to give away. One hour from now, we will give you another chance to win a grand for gas. Yes, a thousand bucks up for grabs right after the new news here on 955. WSP. You heard the breaking news there from Sabrina, President Trump saying the blockade. will be lifted in the straight. Kelly Meyer just posting on Twitter about the situation room meeting. Pete Hegseth told her we'll see when pressed if military action might be the next option. But obviously fast-moving developments, I think. Oh, look at this. What did I say before the break, Debra? I said, I think President Trump's going to sign that. Barack Reid from Axios breaking President Trump signals he's about to prove the Iran deal. That damn, but I'm good. Did you bet it on Kalsi? Did you bet it? You said not too. I said not going to. Anyway, massive developments there. Yeah, I think, I just think the economic pressure. Like, let's just get a 60-day memorandum of understanding. Let's open the straight. Let's get oil flowing. Let's normalize the markets. Let's cut back on what we're paying at the pump. And then if you don't get a deal in 60 days, then you revisit it. Damn, I should bet it on Kalshi. I think I'm not, I don't know if I'm allowed or not. I don't know. I am allowed to give away tickets. And ironically, on this date in 1965, Help me, Rhonda. By the Beach Boys hit number one of the pop chart where it stayed for two weeks. That's a name you don't hear anymore. You don't mean any babies named Rhonda. Let's give away some Beach Boy tickets, Debra. What do we have? All right, Beach Boy is going to be at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center on July 17th, a pair of tickets. All right, Trent, by the way, is done with his hiccups miraculously. All that the cranberry juice, the sugar, the peanut butter on something. But he's good. So are you going to take it or is Brooke going to take it? Brooke's going to take it. All right. Seventh caller to 404-87207207.00-7-50 is the number to win. Again, two more chances to win if you miss out on Beach Boys, Weird Al, and a grand for gas right after the new news on 955. WSP. Let me see. All right, so I didn't bet the markets. Let's see how the markets are reacting to that breaking news there that it looks like President Trump's going to sign off. Dow's up 300, NASDAX up 38, oil down 0.98.

2:53

But once that news hits the market, I think oil is going to drop, which is good news because we're paying too much of the pump. This kind of shocked me. Electronic vehicles. I expected a surge, a mini surge, if you will, on EV purchases since the war started on February 28th. But worldwide, Vinnie, take a guess. What percentage of car sales worldwide are electric vehicles, not just in the U.S., worldwide? What percentage of vehicle sales are electronic vehicles right now? I give about... 30%. Wow. All right. You would have lost on prices right. That's a bigger number than I thought. It's 25% Deborah. Oh, I'm close. Yeah, you're close, Finney. 25% of the global new cars or yeah, 25% of EV global market is up. That's up 4% from just 2025. So more people are investing in EVs globally. China's the big leader of production and getting people to buy them. And then a lot of countries in Europe, but the United States is still kind of not in last place, but. Towards the bottom, 10% of the United States. We don't want to give up the... I love my muscle cars. Yeah, I understand. But that's a bigger number than I thought globally. I saw a video on social media. And you can't buy Chinese cars, right? We don't import any Chinese cars here. Japanese, Korean, right, Hyundai, Kia, Civic, whatever. I saw a video about, and I don't know with AI these days, you don't know, but apparently China makes some of the coolest cars imaginable. And like with every bell and bells and whistles, you can't even imagine. with like partitions. Like if you get the kids in the back seat and you just, you're sick, like you ever see in a limo where you can roll up the window? Yeah. Like that in a regular sedan. Like the kids, like the kids are in the back seat, just making a racket. You just, you put down this. And I don't, just Google or go to YouTube. You've been to Asia. I know you haven't been to China. Yeah. Do you see anyone in Japan? Do they import Chinese cars there? I saw cars that I didn't recognize, but I didn't know their nation of origin. The cars in Japan are just, in one word, tiny. Like, they are... A lot of places in Europe are very tiny. So, so small. I don't know if it's the fuel efficiency or just the skinniness of the roads. But there were, like, I didn't see a single American car, though, any time I've been to Japan. But I see German cars. Mercedes and BMWs are there. But again, smaller versions. Like, not... Rarely would you see an SUV or a minivan. No, you rarely see SUVs in Europe. But I don't know. But again, it could be fake news, AI video. But apparently, and they're not cheap. They're like north of $100,000 of these Chinese automobiles. But they have literally like things that we've, we've, you've never even thought of being in your car. More cup holders? I don't know. It was like the whole front panel. Like, you know, newer cars. Oh, it's the lights and everything. Yeah.

5:56

Maya had a rental car a couple weeks ago, and it was the weirdest thing. So when you get in your car, Deborah, you got a pickup truck. How do you put it into drive or reverse or whatever? I have a dial. A dial. I don't have a, it's not a gear shift anymore. It's not the traditional one. Yeah, it literally dials like I'm dialing a phone, you know. That's what I have in my car. Maya had this rental car. And it was like where the radio is in the center console, below that, there were like four buttons. Physical buttons or like a screen? No, physical. Oh, nice. Where you pull like a lever, four levers. One was R for reverse. One was D for drive. One was P for Park. And I don't know what the third one. Neutral maybe. Something. But it was no stick, nothing on the, on the, no gear shift, no gear shift, no dial, but like just a lever. You pull back. It was the weirdest thing. Like you pull it out like. Yeah, just a little bit. Just take your finger and you go, peep, you put up the R one. And then you're, I didn't like it. That would take a lot for me to do. Yeah, it was really, really weird. I forgot what make and model it was. Yeah, find out. Yeah, it was. We got to, all right, let me ask you this. I should ask Clark Howard this. So mine, I went to Connecticut last weekend for Memorial Day to see my parents. And we flew into Hartford. We rented a car. And I rented online through one of the big name companies. I did through my Delta app so I can get miles because I'm a miles dude. And I rented a mid-sized SUV. Our flight was delayed. We got to Hartford Airport late. Go to the place. the rental car and you go into the garage and they're like, what car did you request? And I gave the paperwork. She's like, oh, I don't know if we have any SUVs left. And at this point, we're like, I don't care. A sedan's fine. She's like, oh, great. Like, I just want to make her life easier. I want to make our life easier. But the sedan was less money than the mid-sized SUV. Yeah. Do I... I didn't do anything. But should I ask for a cheaper rate? Yeah, absolutely. I should have, right? Yeah, for sure. Heard. Yeah. I didn't do that. It didn't matter at the end of the day. I did put the gas back in. I didn't want to get charged $7.50. Yeah, but then they charged you more and you had a lesser car. Yeah. Well, we're talking. Oh, EV sales. 25% worldwide. I don't doubt that because as much as gas has risen here in the United States, it's risen that much more in Europe and India. And Asia. I want to say, is it Sweden? At Scandinavia, one country was hoping to have all EV cars by a certain year. So they've really been pushing for everyone to go electric. All Waymos. Waymos are electric, I believe. I think Waymos are electric. And they're back on the streets of Atlanta now. Yeah, now that it's stop raining. Yeah. That's, I don't know. Is that reprogram them? Or they just like... I don't know. I think they just realized there's no flooding until they put them back out. All right. So Waymos are back out there. I haven't need to take an Uber in a while, so I haven't been given that choice of the Waymo. All right. Interesting. All right. The unemployment rate...

8:58

This next story doesn't jive with the unemployment rates because as bad as the economy's been and inflation, et cetera, the unemployment rate is still in the fours, like the mid-fourths, which to me, in my lifetime, you'll take that 10 out of 10 years. Unemployment rate 4.4%, 4.3%. Yeah, that will take it. That's why I don't understand this next story, Deborah. According to analysis, one in three American men. are not working. 33% of how is that possible if one in three men aren't working, that unemployment rates only like 4.3%. Well, that I don't really know. That's not in the story, but it does say like why fewer men are working. Some of it is the types of jobs that men usually would have seem to be going away a little bit more, or they're losing traditional roles. Like the ones that have been growing are in health care and education, and they seem more women in those roles than men. You know, not that they're not men in them. It's just they tend to be filled by women a little bit more. But the number one reason that's key, and this is your average work age. So you're thinking. like 20 years old into the early 60s. So your group work is there. A lot of the reason why men have left the workforce are saying is because of disabilities, whether it's physical disabilities or even things like anxiety, they're choosing not to go to work because it's too much pressure. And they're struggling to really get by on disability. So I guess that doesn't count in the unemployment rate. If you're on disability or you choose not to look for work, because I was like, Like, I know one of my friends right now is unemployed. And he left his company like a year ago. Just didn't like the direction of the company. Really successful dude. And he was like, I'm not worried. I got severance. I got, he was like, it was the summer of, I'm not going to say his name. Summer of Vinny. I got six months. Summer of George. Yeah, summer of George. Six months getting paid. Do stuff around the house. And then he's like, and, you know, I'll find another job. 12 months later, he's still unemployed. But he's being selective, right? Like there are, you go to places and you can see like I could get a job at a retail or fast food if I really wanted to. He's looking for that, you know. Right, he's looking for a career. One of those elusive, because he just left a really good job. And he's struggling to find that. I also wonder if I say, describe someone in middle management, Deborah. Describe someone physically in middle management. Let's see. Polo shirt, khakis. It's a dude. Yeah, white dude, like late 30s, early 40s. So that's why I think we might see one in three American men not working because traditionally those, those middle management jobs are being taken away by AI. So you've got those dudes and the khakis and the polos that are 40 years old. And they just lost their middle management job because of AI and they might be out of the workforce. Knock on wood. I know Vinny's full time now. That's big. That's big time. Don't take a management position, Vinnie. Yeah. And he's double dipping. And he's double dipping. And he's double dipping.

12:06

We're getting gutbusters next week on you, Vinny. That's all I'm saying. Congrats to Jim in Atlanta. Jim won, I guess our final pair of tickets this week to see the Beach Boys. Congrats, Jim. Enjoy that concert. When we come back, we're going to go back to D.C. get the latest on the Iran War. An update on that $1.76 billion fund that President Trump was pushing forward. We've got an update on that from the court system. We'll give you those details. And all you want to know about facts of life. The facts of life. 1122 on the Mark Aram show. Loved that theme song in that show, The Facts of Life. This isn't the original one, though. Did you remix this, Vinny? No, I don't know Facts of Life, so this is all I found. To be living up to your dreams. Why are we playing The Facts of Life? Lisa Welchell, Blair, she was the hot one. in the facts of life. I like Joe the brunette. Tootie was the other one, right? And Mrs. Garrett, I saw someone post like, who knew that Mrs. Garrett was the hot one on that? Like, she looked back at the picture. Anyway, Facts of Life. You're too young to remember Facts of Life, Deborah, at least. You got to remember that TBS showed reruns of everything when we were kids. When it was on. When it was on, I didn't watch it. Anyway, Blair is 63 years old. Happy birthday to Blair from the Facts of Life. All right, real quick, the, what is the anti-weaponization fund? That's, I couldn't think of the name. name of it. The $1.76 billion fund, $1.76 billion fund set up. Federal judge today barred the Trump administration from taking steps to create. or operate President Trump's $1.8 billion fund until a hearing on June 12th. The order covers any transfer of money into the fund, decisions on any claims, and the disbursement of any payouts. So federal judge today, I think I got the hiccups. I think Trent gave you the hiccups? I heard that. Uh-oh. Like two in a row. Where's the cranberry juice? The sugar, what did you do, Trent? Is this one of the... Is it a side of Ebola? Did you give me Ebola, Trent? It's always ground zero in this building, isn't it? All right. Let me see if those hiccups. Anyway, yeah, federal judge today barred the administration from taking steps or to create that $1.8 billion fund until. a hearing on June 12th. Pam Bondi, the former Attorney General, appearing before the House Oversight Committee in a closed-doors hearing on the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein files. Real quickly, Pam Bondi, you know, no longer the Attorney General, lost her gig. And then we found out, Debra, she's getting treated for cancer, which is a horrible situation. But she was subpoenaed while she was still the Attorney General before the Oversight Committee.

15:00

And then lost her job. And then there was back and forth like, well, does she still have to testify? They still want her testimony. Here's the rub. There's no cameras in the hearing room. I believe there's no transcript being taken in the hearing room. And she's not under oath. Now, just because you're not under oath, that doesn't mean you can lie willy-nilly to. you know, a congressional, you still, you're not allowed to do that. I think you can still be held in, you know, perjury or contempt, but she's not under oath. It's not being videotaped, and I don't believe it's being transcript. So the only information we're going to get out of that hearing, because they still want some clarification on, on the Epstein files, is going to be from the representatives in the building. Now, we did hear from James Comer, Republican Congressman from Kentucky before the hearing took place. It's not, not. Just this administration, it goes back several administrations. So we're going to do everything in our ability to try to get justice for the victims. All right. So there's James Comey and more from Jamie, not James Comey, Comer, sorry, apologies. More from Republican Kentucky Congressman James Comer before the Pam Bondi hearing. What we're trying to do is just connect all the dots and see if they're. is a way to hold people accountable. Remember, many of these crowns happened 20 plus years ago. We're going to do everything in our ability to hold people accountable. So that's again, the only details we're going to get. There's no recording. There's no audio. There's no video is once the hearing's over, when we hear from the Democrats and the Republicans on the Oversight Committee, they will let us know, hopefully what the former Attorney General had to say. Do hope she beats cancer. That's got to be tough. You're dealing with cancer treatments. I don't know, radiation or chemo, whatever they got her on. And then you've got to go testify. That's not an enviable position. So thoughts and prayers to Ms. Pam Bondi in her fight against cancer. All right, news weather and traffic and three won't come back, the latest in Iran War. We'll update our top local stories. And Deborah's got a pair of tickets to give away to see Weird Al Yankovic. And you'll be entered to win a grand prize VIP meet and greet with the Parity King. Your chance to win those next on the Mark Aram Show.

17:28

1136 on this payday Friday edition of the Mark Aram show coming up in 30 minutes. The next chance for you to win a grand for gas. Right after the new news, I'm going to give you a keyword in the Grand 4 Gas. You enter that keyword into the WSB Radio app or online at WSBRadio.com slash gas, and you can win $1,000. But you do not have to wait 30 minutes to win. What do we have right now, Deborah? A pair of tickets to see Weird Al at Ameris Bank Amphitheater on May 31st, and you were automatically entered for the grand prize of a meet-and-greet with Weird Al. Phenomenal. Phenomenal. I should mention. 10th caller to 404-872-0-750. Caller number 10, 404-872-0-750 wins the weird out tickets, courtesy of the Mark Aram Show at 95-5 WSP. In just a second, we're going to update the Iran negotiations. But this story jumped out to me, Deborah, and I wanted to pull in someone to give me a different perspective. It's a new study. Joining us live in studio, the most handsome producer and all the producery, Jared Yamamoto. Good to see you, J. Rad. How are you? Good to see you, too, man. And by the way, with those weird alt tickets you guys are given away. Yeah. Saw him at shaky knees last year. Blown away. Blown away. He's probably the surprise out of the entire festival. He's remarkable. He was great. I loved it. All right. So you are a noted concert goer, social dude, bar crawls. You're out there living your best life. Debra found a new study that there's a certain age where sleep. becomes more important to you than your social plans. And I just wanted another perspective in here because you're Mr. Social, you're shaky knees, your Rana Palooza, whatever concert series is going on, you're doing it. Deborah, what is the age where Americans... value sleep more than social activities. Right. The survey of about 2,000 Americans says that the age 32 is when people stop wanting to do so many events maybe later at night or too early in the morning and sleep is just a little more important. So 32 years old. So 32. Jared, how old are you right now? 37. 37. So you are still favoring the social aspect of your life in favor of more sleep. Absolutely. I'm going out all the time. Now, I do have to put out this warning. I don't have any kids or anything yet. just me and my wife Tina. So we're, we love to be social and we love to have our weekends filled up with all kinds of activities. I have not felt that decline yet. If you had little mini Yamamoto's, you think that might change. Absolutely. Yeah, it would definitely change. I agree. So I'm with you. I think I was in like 41, 42 where that. switch flipped where I was like, it's got to be something really good for me not to want to go home and not do anything or just sleep. At your age, in my 30s, and it was weird because I always had to work morning, so that would temper what I was able to do socially. But, you know, I was late 30s. Like, ah, let's go to the bar. Let's go out drinking. Let's, you know, go to a concert. And then like 40, 41, 42, I think.

20:29

Mother Nature caught up. And now, like now at 52, we got, we got invited to an event tonight, Deborah, from Bites and Sites, David Danzig. Oh, yeah. I don't know if you got it on that. I know what you're talking about. Yeah. And I said to Maya, I was like, hey, this is, and she goes, 630 on a Friday in Roswell, no thank you. And this is an event that I thought she would love to go to. And I was like, yeah, you're right. Let's just stay at home. It's land the plane. And sleep. So I don't know. 31. You're 37. You're still living your best life. When I was 37, I was doing what you did. Out there, you know, doing out and about. Out and about. Vinnie, you're 25. Correct. But now you're full time. When do you think you're going to hit that peak where, all right, no more hookah bars, no more concerts, no more Hawks game? Maybe he came in that one day and he was rough. Remember? Yeah. One morning and you were rough. If y'all had asked me to guess, that literally was my number. Now, I don't think it's going to hit me then. I think I'm more towards Jared's, like, 35-ish. But I plan to have kids by 32. I don't know. Oh, man. Okay, all right. So you're prepping there, buddy. Let me tell you this. My 30s? have been way more fun than my 20s. I had a great time in my 20s. My 30s have been wild. I've had a wonderful time. That's because you can afford it in your 30s. That is true. I agree. You're a highly paid, handsome producer. No, I don't know about that now. The handsome is producer. I got the sugar mama. I got the wife that handles all that. All right. You're still riding high. But it's because you are a dual-income family, no kids. They're like I am. Yeah. So, all right. I don't know. I guess. It's a different era for the younger generation at 31, if that's what the data is showing. They, you know, they're not in their prime earning years yet. They're on the cusp there. They might be having kids. And everything's so expensive these days. Like, what are shaky knees tickets cost? Shaking ease are about, for a general admission, $300, $299? Yeah, just under three. It's crazy. Yeah, which is a lot. But it's, but it's worth it because it's the most bang for your buck. Yeah. A festival at least with that, you get multiple artists and multiple bands. It's like binge watching a show. You're just binge listening to music. Yes. That's why I think the $300 is worth it. I've been there. Like, I'll use Music Midtown for an example. Sure. From 23 to 40, I don't think I missed a Music Midtown. And then I hit 41. And I was like, can I get the VIP bathrooms? What is there parking? And I think that was when I hit the wall. Like, no, I need to rest. Sleep is more important than seeing rain. Wu Tang's out of this year, right? Yeah, that's going to be fun. So you'll love that. And then the gorillas. I mean, it's. Strokes are bad. Yeah, I mean. I'm all about the woo. But if I don't get the VIP bathrooms there, I'm not going. That's fair. I do think the wall for me, and I realize that, you know, the clock is ticking on my end. But once the little yams start coming, then at that point, I'm sure I'm going to be much more tired and not willing to go to do all these social things. I will never ask that question if there are little Yamamoto's on the way because I think it's an inappropriate question. But I would imagine since Sweet T. Sister is procreating.

23:39

There's a lot of pressure. Like a sea monkey. Like I would take that. I would imagine that takes some of the pressure off of you. No, no. Really? You know, it doesn't. No, they got to have cousins to keep up with. Yeah, it puts so much extra pressure on us because I also have two other sisters that live here in the Atlanta area. And they have brought their families here. And they have young kids. And they're like, well, come on, Jared. When are you and Tina going to bring the kids along? But you don't have Helen breathing down your neck, though, right? I mean, she's got the grandkids. Believe me, if she could have more, she would want to have more. So there's a lot of pressure. But I'm never like that, by the way, PSA, that is might have been an appropriate question in the 50s and 60s asking a couple like, what are you having kids, man? Like. Don't ask that. That's HR right there. Yeah. Don't ask that question because there's a number of reasons. I mean, Jared's reason, he still wants to hit the concert tour. But there are a number of reasons why there might not be little Yamamoto's. But anyway. I can't wait to see you at shaky knees with like a two-month-old. Oh, you see the little head phone. Yes, yes. I'll be there. I'll be there. That'd be fantastic. Let's tease the Eric von Hessler program today. You produce it. So what can we expect to hear on our ride home today? You know what? I know that we're going to talk about. what's happening with the America 250 concert event. That 10-day event, it looks like another artist has jumped out. You had Brett Michaels jump out. Oh, he did. So that's a new development. Commodores are out too. So there's a lot of people. Martinez McBride. Once you lose Martina. Yeah. That's up. All right. What would you pay for a concert ticket to see the America 250? Oh, 300. Right now with that lineup, probably less than $250. Do we know who's left on the card? That's a great question. We'll find out at 3 o'clock today. Okay. So if anybody's left. Brett Michaels, because he was. He was still on. He's one of my favorite interviews. I love that. He is such. Well, thanks, Deborah. I just mean like talk and talk and talk. He'll talk to it. No, like, I've been here a bunch of times. And he's like, Just the nicest guy. And I was like, I said, I didn't say it on the air, but I'm like, Brett's too nice to pull out. Like if he committed, he's got, but he pulled out. Apparently, he was citing safety concerns, which is a good way to cop out of something like that. If you're concerned about the political implications of being involved with an event like that, you could just say the safety concerns are, are an issue. So, I mean, are we, are we going to refill with Lee Greenwood and Kid Rock? I mean, what? That's a great question. We're going to have to find me. Doesn't he loves the village people, right? The president loves the village people? He does. How many of the village people are still alive? Well, they have a rotating cast. Like new people come in all the time. All right. Three to seven p.m. And I should remind you, you're going to have at least one chance to win a grandfragast during the Eric von Hessler show. No, two in p.m. 2 p.m. 2 p.m. is the first one, and then 5 p.m. is the next one. And then 5 p.m. is the next week is the last week for grant for gas. Which is crazy. I wish I could win that. I know. How high these gas prices are. I need this. And you don't have to spend it on gas. You can spend it on shaky knees or Rana Palooza tickets or a hookabar. Or a hookah. Rana Palooza, my buddy in high school, Ron Dalla Valley, right after Lollapalooza.

26:51

kicked off. He had a big house, not a big house, like a normal house, but a ton of land behind his house. And like the second year after Lollapalooza kicked off, he did Rana Palooza. And every local band in like Connecticut came and played. And it was, to me, it's always Rana Palusa. I like that. But it was free. I didn't have to pay. That's the best kind of concert that you can go to, a free concert. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right. Good to see you, Jay Rad. Good to see you guys too, man. Love to Sweet Tea. Absolutely. Dennis and Conyers won our final pair of tickets to see Weird Al. He is now entered to get that VIP experience with Weird Al. So good luck, Dennis. Enjoy the concert there, my friend. Today is going to be the day that they're going to throw it back to you. 1153 on the Mark Aram show. Happy 59th birthday, Deborah Crush, Noel Gallagher. Maybe not a crush, but I do love the band. I know you absolutely love this band. He turns 59 today, guitarist, singer, Oasis. Welcome back to the Mark Aram show. Speaking of Debra, if you're freaking out about getting World Cup tickets like Debra is, maybe you should go on up to Dave and Busters. Apparently Dave and Busters has some World Cup tickets. Yeah, Dave and Busters is having this new machine. It's basically a human crane. Remember how we were talking about crane machines earlier? Yeah, claw machines. Yeah, claw. So they're going to put you in this thing where you turn into a human, well, they're calling it a human crane. Human crane. And you'll be able to pick from inside. And some of those prizes are going to have a chance to go to World Club, including the championship at MetLife Stadium, which is a big deal. Are you heading to Dave & Busters right after the show? I am. Marietta, right? Marietta, yeah. Vinnie and I will go together. Her. All right. 1999, before Vinnie's born. One year. New Year's Eve. Going into the year 2000, new millennium, I spent it at Dave and Busters and Marietta. How was that? I was hosting New Year's Eve party for 955 The Beat. And I said, I'll host it. I'll give up the greatest new years of my life if I can do traffic on 955 The Beat. And Lori, I'm not going to say her last name. She's like, absolutely, you can be our traffic reporter. So I did it. Signed body parts. It was it was. Fun experience. I remember those days. And then the January 3rd, she's like, yeah, we're not going to do traffic on 955 to be. Oh. Like they. Lies. They flat out lies. Gotcha. Anyway, nothing against. I had a great time at Dave and Busters. Lori, why'd you lie to me? Cracker Braille. Vinnie's a big Cracker Barrel fan. There's a Cracker Barrel giveaway, not World Cup tickets, though. Not World Cup tickets. Vivini, you might want to go check out Cracker Barrel soon because they are giving away free gas and food to customers if they're trying to get people back into the restaurant. Now, one of it is when they change the logo. And Vinny got all upset about it. Some people haven't recovered from that, even though they've changed it again. And a part of it is just people don't have as much money to eat as they would have a couple months ago, even a year ago. So less people are going out to eat and Cracker Barrel is feeling that. So now if you sign up for their rewards program, I'm not sure what that is, but you'll be eligible every time you go in there and buy something, even if it's from the gift shop or a meal, you're going to be eligible to win these gas cards and free food at the restaurant.

That's a good idea, Cracker Barrow. You want to go to Cracker Barrel and then Daven Busters, Vindy? Yeah, yeah, perfect. We'll do that. We'll do a day trip. You and me, Vin. That's perfect. Cracker Barrow, Dave and Busters, will win World Cup tickets, we'll get Uncle Herschel's breakfast. Everything will be fantastic. All right, good job, Cracker Barrel and Dave and Busters. Now you know, because of the Mark Aram Show. Breaking just moments ago, President Trump posted on true social saying that he is meeting right now in the situation room to make a final determination on whether or not to move forward with the 60-day ceasefire extension that would see the straight of her moves being reopened as a priority. Tyler Kendall from Bloomberg News joined us live in D.C. with the breaking news. And it looks like President Trump is going to sign off on that memorandum of understanding. Breaking News live there from Tyler Kendall from Bloomberg News. Now you know. The only kind of shift you could make is if you voted in the nonpartisan primary only for those judicial races in the general primary, then you could vote for a party primary that you didn't vote in before. Otherwise, you have to stay in the same lane you were in Democrat, Democrat, Republican, Republican. Great clarification there from political analyst Bill Crane. If you voted Democrat or Republican in the primary, you are stuck with that ballot in the runoff. Now you know. Most of the American citizens, at least at the start, it would be about a 50 bed capacity. And these would be Americans who may have been exposed to Ebola, but have not yet tested positive. They don't yet require intensive treatment. Shannon Kingston from ABC joined us at the State Department with the latest on what the U.S. is doing about the Ebola breakout. And now you know. The Mexico supply right now is they're predicted to only produce 75% of what they normally do. Also, there's a USDA delay getting across the border. That has driven the avocado market up $28 in the last eight days. That's the king of produce, Bobby Marbles, on why avocados are going to be more expensive over the next two weeks. Now you know, because of the Mark Aram Show.
