Kruser & Crew 7-29-26

Mmm, Garfield, he loved that lasagna. Today is also National Chicken Wing Day. So I don't have any chicken wings, but, well, I got these wings. So here you go. Yeah, but a little luck, this will work out. Let's hope so. It's Cruiser and Crew endeavoring to do three hours of broadcast and streaming material right here at 97.3 FM and 590 a.m. WVLK streaming on smart devices everywhere. That was the only wings I got, right? I mean, a little Paul McCartney in wings, okay, with a little luck from the album, London Town. All right. Good to have you with us, and I hope you're enjoying your day. Today, National Chicken Wing Day. Now, this started in Buffalo. You would think that it would start in Buffalo. Some guy named Stan Lisa Murkowski back in 1977. Oh, he was the mayor. Okay. I thought he was. 1977, Mayor Stan McCowski proclaimed July 29th as National Chicken Wing Day to celebrate, quote, that thousands of chicken wings are consumed by buffaloonians in restaurants and taverns throughout the city each week. Americans ordered 1.3 billion servings of wings. Does that include boneless wings, which are really nuggets? Probably does. 1.3 billion servings of wings from food service in the 12 months ending June 2026. That's up almost 2.5% from the year before. You know, sporting events and chicken wings. And chicken wings are just, they're fun, they're good. I like a dry rub on the chicken. Sometimes if I go out and I order chicken wings and they do a buffalo thing or do they do some other sauce, they lay it on too thick. Too thick for me. I'm also that way about salad. I always order the salad dressing on the side because I think restaurants, when they put it on, they put on too much for me. So I like just the dry rub on the wings. So anyway, all right, we got restaurants offering deals, Buffalo Wild Wings, giving away a free order of six wings, boneless or bone in with a $15 minimum purchase. You've got to use a promo code free wings. Pizza Hut's got a bogo deal on chicken wings. That's right. It's a pizza place. But I guess they do wings, right? Oh, what else? There's a wing stop. They're turning the celebration into an entire week. You can win daily prizes and, well, so on and so forth. So if they push chicken wings, there's probably a deal. At Hooters, a dining deal for 10 wings, boning or boneless. Just 729 with a drink purchase. So, all right, so there you go. There's some of your chicken wing deals that are out there. All right, the Anthony Fauci hearings took place this morning. They went well. No question. This week, I mean, he's got a pardon. His pardon is every bit as thorough and as blanketing as the one that Joe Biden gave to his son. Hunter Biden. So I would think that if you've got immunity from prosecution, that taking the fifth, you're not incriminating yourself at least criminally because you have been pardoned. And he got, I mean, it was a blanket pardon. I mean, it's a pardon that basically covers anything he may have done or something that might come out.

Paul once asked him why he supported gain of function research, whether the doctor had directed funding of that research around the world or whether American inspectors had examined these Chinese virology labs, among other lines of inquiry, but Anthony Fauci wouldn't. When to answer the question, he claims Rand Paul is unhinged in his obsession with me. Democrats primarily dismiss the hearing as biased and backward looking. I can't imagine, though, there's going to be too many Democrats that want to snuggle up or be associated or be with Anthony Fauci. I doubt Anthony Fauci's going to get any more invitations to be on Jimmy Fallon show. Or not Jimmy Fow. Who is he on with Kimmel? He mentioned Kimmel a couple of times in all of this. It got so out of hand that at one point Rand Paul, Anthony Fauci and his attorney got under Rand Paul skin. And Rand Paul got to the point that he kicked Anthony Fauci's attorney out of the hearing. Because Anthony Fauci was talking, the Democratic co-chair or the ranking member, I guess is how they refer to it, on that committee, was going to let the attorney speak. But then Rand Paul said, well, we told the attorney you couldn't sit at the table with Anthony Fauci and there you are. And again, why is he there? The guy's got blanket. He's got a blanket pardon. So anyway, Rand Paul, the attorney's got to sit there and be quiet. And if you can't be quiet, I'm going to throw you out. So he gives the attorney another chance or was going to give the attorney another chance, but then the attorney kept talking. Now he's talking. So they took the guy out out of this thing. Guy's name is David Shirtler. The Shirtler's firm has represented Anthony Fauci at congressional hearings before. And so we really didn't get to, and again, I thought today, and given these diaries, a key point of the testimony, as I referred to a moment ago, would have been about the issue of the origins of the virus.

The diary entries show Anthony Fauci hosted a call with 12 epidemiologists back in February of 2020 to discuss the likelihood that the virus had been man-made and then released by accident from a lab in Wuhan. Anthony Fauci's contemporaneous notes show that 10 of the 12 scientists believed the virus must be man-made. The only two who disagreed had ties to Wuhan that could prove to be embarrassing if it were shown the virus had originated from there. Now, Anthony Fauci was overseeing federal funding of this gain of function research, which is kind of risky. It's risky coronavirus research that was going on in Wuhan. Now, we don't fund that. I think the Trump administration last year cut that off. Cut the funding off for gain of function research. but that could have contributed to the creation of the virus. And from what I've seen in the diaries, Anthony Fauci is admitting that, yeah, the wet market was probably only the accelerator of a virus that was created and got out of the lab. But we're not going to hear that because... Anthony Fauci took the fifth on, well, over 100 times, as you've said. So now, Chairman Rand Paul is saying he will proceed to a contempt vote. This is going to have to be resolved by the courts. Jonathan Turley, law professor and columnist, says Anthony Fauci is facing a number of threats going forward, including state hearings. adopting the bunker option with the invocation gave him immediate cover but could force him into court on these difficult decisions. So I don't know, even if you're a Anthony Fauci fan, wouldn't you have wanted to have heard some reasonable explanation as to why what he was writing in his diary was so different than what he was telling us?

I already believe, I mean, I have my belief set already as far as where the virus came from. I think it was created in the lab by gain of function research. The wet market was the accelerator. I've always thought that. I've said that. I think it started in a lab. And I think the evidence is somewhat conclusive there. But then, so then outside of that, did you believe what you wrote in the diary or were you believing what you were telling the American people at the time? Because there's quite a discrepancy. And then Senator Josh Hawley starts to bring up the money that Anthony Fauci made. COVID was good for Anthony Fauci. And, of course, there's a lot of ink in the diaries about Anthony Fauci's infatuation with becoming a celebrity. And the fact that he was getting all kinds of loving press and everything like that, Holly shows up today with an oversized copy of the cover. of Anthony Fauci on InStyle magazine. This was as about a savage of a takedown as anything I've ever seen in a congressional hearing. If you want to see the whole, it's about nine minutes and 11 seconds, 9, 9, 20, something like that, if you want to hear the whole thing. But I'll just play here, Senator Josh Hawley's conclusion. During his question, and of course he didn't get any answers to any of his questions either. The doctor took the fifth. To which then Josh Hawley says that when you take the fifth, that's, you know, silence is about admission.

Anyway, Holly goes on to talk about how the, I guess the government has certain awards in which you can win cash prizes. Holly accuses Anthony Fauci of using federal employees to win some of these awards, and Anthony Fauci did win some awards that were attached with cash prizes. And supposedly it's illegal to use federal employees. soliciting their help to try to get cash awards. But here was the concluding statement by Senator Josh Hawley after his brutal takedown of Dr. Anthony Fauci. Well, the anti-Fouchy argument, did it get strengthened today? With this, again, I can't imagine that any superfans he may have had are going to remain as superfans, or at least political types. There was an article this morning in the Atlantic on their website, and it was largely sympathetic, but the article was entitled The Unmasking of Anthony Fauci. It emphasized the toll the criticism from Republicans in the Trump administration had on him and the death threats and his family from unhinged maniacs. But then even the profile does concede that Anthony Fauci was not quite the saint that the mainstream media made him. out to be. And then the fact that he, uh, he, he embraced the celebrity, the author Catherine Wu for the Atlantic. Quotes a guy named Hugh Aachlan Klaus, who is Anthony Fauci's former deputy director. Start your day with the morning jolt of Drake C. Toll. See, now it's on demand. My podcast is kind of a radio thing, I think, but also it's a bit of a TV show, and it's about whatever I want it to be. It's listening live as it happened, when it happened, with the instant reaction. You're home for talking sports. We go back, the Dray Toll Show, Westwood One Sports Network, and there will be on demand on your radio. Anywhere in the country, I'll see you there. Westwood One Sports Talk. Your home for Drake C. Toll. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Director at NIA who retired in 2024, he certainly embraced that role talking about the celebrity and the attention he received. Anthony Fauci received. Sometimes I thought a little bit too much, said Mr. Action Clause. And the pandemic diaries fit that assessment. Seven times in the diary there's the word prolonged standing ovation. As soon as people recognized me, there was a wave of applause and squealing and screaming and clapping and thanking me with multiple people coming and asking for selfies he wrote in his diary in May of 2021. It was a little bit embarrassing, but it was just a manifestation of how these people need a symbol of integrity and truth. You know, if he was that symbol, he wouldn't have been facing the committee. He faced his face today. And now possible contempt charges. We'll take a break here and return with much more crowded day here on Cruiser and Crew. A little later, Bill Meck will join us. And then Chris Eddy from Smiley Pete Crave is back, the Food and Music Festival. It's back this weekend at a new location. We'll talk about that with Chris a little bit later on. Here's our phone number 859-253-959. That's also the number for the Stuttgart Motors text line.

In his diary, there was a time when Dr. Anthony Fauci believed that the virus was pretty similar to the common flu. Former CDC director, this is from the diary. Tom Frieden called me this a.m., and we discussed various aspects of the outbreak. This is from February 8th, 2020. He and I are on the same page and thinking that this is acting like a bad influenza in its transmissibility, and that the denominator is much greater than 3,867, making the case fatality rate more like 0.2 to 0.3% rather than 2%. But a month later, March 11, 2020, Anthony Fauci testifies to Congress that the mortality rate was around 1%, which means it's 10 times more lethal than the seasonal flu. You know, we all know they overstated deaths. They over calculated the deaths on COVID. But privately now, I mean... Should we not give Anthony Fauci or maybe some of the doctors some leeway of maybe a month? I don't know what the length of time would be, but when this thing is first breaking. And I guess guys like Anthony Fauci and people in our health. industry or health agencies or certainly at the World Health Organization, they were looking at this back in about November of 2019, even though the shutdowns and the lockdowns, it didn't get real here until February of 2020. But I think this started to circulate and there started to be some talk about a virus late in 2019. Around November, my memory wants to go to that month. Now, These were doctors. They're more experienced in knowing what coronavirus is, what this might have been. And by doing gain of function research, I mean, Anthony Fauci and everybody else involved with that knew it was risky. That you're basically creating viruses in a lab and it could get out. And if one got out like this one did, it could be devastating.

So how much time do you give them some time for, okay, they were just trying to figure it out. At first they thought, well, it's kind of like the flu. But I don't know, though. The lies even go on beyond that, or at least the discrepancies between the diary. And again, I have to think what he wrote in his diary is what he really thought and was the truth. You don't write lies in your diary, do you? Because then who you're fooling? You're ruling yourself. If you're going to write a journal, it's going to be an accurate representation of what you're thinking at the time or what was said or what you said at the time. By the way, I guess this diary must have been in some file at work because you know how Rand Paul got it? He got it from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. He was probably told to take the fit today because, and again, here I'm just speculating, but I'm thinking that the pardon must not cover after you're out of office, you're not a government official anymore, that you can't then do an appearance before Congress and be untruthful without there being consequences. The pardon broadly covered actions tied to Anthony Fauci's government roles, but does that shield him from potential liability if he had made false statements today? Or the fact that he didn't, is he in contempt of Congress? Because with that pardon, he didn't answer any questions today. So he's in contempt. I mean, Holly was, his first questions, what colors your tie? I regrettably must, on the advice of my attorneys, you know, he goes and then that's, what colors the carpet in the room? On the advice of my attorney. He was answering anything. What day is it today, doctor, on the advice of my attorney? I mean, those were, those were Hollis, Josh Hawley's first three questions. So this isn't, this isn't. over yet. And I think he got a guy that maybe at one time, as Josh Hawley suggests, might have been a good public servant, but got corrupted by all this, it seems like. And then, but, you know, there's a pretty long list of, well, we got to wear a mask because they're effective. But then privately, we question the effacy of mass or social distancing or the vaccine. Why in the vaccines? The, you know, at the time you had to get, we had, I mean, my employer mandated I had to get the COVID vaccine because we were told it would prevent transmission. Well, didn't. And, you know, a lot of this since then has led to a distrust of the FDA, the CDC, and all of that, which is going to put our public health in peril. Now we've got this cyclospora infestation. Our question of the day, do you have a lot of faith that the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration, will get to the bottom of this infestation with these parasites and be up to conquering other medical challenges? Right now, the majority of you say, 50-50, maybe fair to Midland faith in the FDA.

From these two-guard motorist text line, Anthony Fauci, Demetrius Liggins, Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, I can go on and on. People protected by various means while average Americans wonder what would happen to them if they had done the same activities. I believe Paul should be focused on Mitch McConnell. COVID's done. Today, one half of American people do not wash their hands after they potty. The doc had a right to an attorney. I would think he's got a right to an attorney, but I guess one of the attorneys broke the rules. And the committee chairman, and in this case, it's Rand Paul can set the rules of the committee hearing. And he had the, obviously, he had the authority to throw the guy out. when he wouldn't follow the instructions from the chair. COVID's done, but then again, it's not done. No, I mean, we've got to, we got to get the truth about COVID so we're prepared for the next one. And what's Rand Paul going to do to force? health information out of Mitch McConnell if Mitch McConnell don't want to give it. Now, of course, Andy Beshear is taking full opportunity of the Mitch McConnell situation because he's stuck in about 1 or 2% in the presidential polls, and this is getting Andy Beshear's name in national headlines, this pushing Mitch McConnell, you know, I'm giving you an ultimatum, you know, you come clean about your health situation or resign. And I do think they could be more forthcoming, the Mitch McConnell camp. But they've done, I guess, the minimal. And I don't, there's no recourse to make, to make changes or for the governor to call some sort of a special election. You may wonder, well, what's Mitch McConnell got to do with Anthony Fauci? Well, in this case, I mean, for Andy Beshear, it's a chance to get another quote picked up. Today, he posted on X. Today, Rand Paul wants to force an 85-year-old Anthony Fauci. Let's not make it sound 85-year-old. Why would we mean? Well, I guess we mentioned his age because there's 84-year-old Mitch McConnell. I'm wondering at first, are we trying to make Anthony Fauci a sympathetic figure because he's 85 years old and he's old and maybe a bit frail and. I didn't look frail to me. Today, Rand Paul wants to force an 85-year-old Dr. Anthony Fauci to address the American people but refuses to ask the same of 84-year-old Mitch McConnell. That's what the governor posted today. I wonder if you could do a mass tort or a mass lawsuit against him because we all lost money and freedoms. Does a civil, is a civil suit still covered by his pardon? I don't know. And I can't say whether or not. a mass lawsuit. I mean, yeah, people lost money. People also made a lot of money. People defrauded the government of a lot of COVID money. I doubt we got all that back. Let's do a couple of phone calls here. We have Mike first. Mike, welcome. Hello. Hi, Dave. I had a question for you. Yep. I wondered if you thought that the slogan, no one is above the law.

jive with the fact that you can receive a pardon. It seems to me that if that first slogan was correct, that pardons would be unconstitutional. I think we need to revamp the pardon. I mean, on the presidential level and the gubernatorial level. I think there need to be some restrictions. Certainly, I support the restrictions that have been put in. in terms of limiting pardons after an election before another term starts so that in that lame duck situation, you don't have governors like you had with Matt Bevin, just throwing out pardons willy-nilly. No one's above the law. That's a convenient thing to say, but that's not followed by either party in a lot of cases. You've got people within our political system that feel like they're above the law. They're skirting the law. They're ignoring the law or ignoring. certain established procedures for things. So that's a problem in our country, I think, when we see our leaders do this. I kind of roll my eyes anymore when I hear somebody say nobody's above the law. It just is kind of to me anymore. It's like, oh, God. I mean, so meaninglessly repetitive anymore that it doesn't have any meaning. Yeah, it just seems like that if you have enough power, you are above the law, and it doesn't matter whether or not what you've done is wrong. If you're in the right place and you have the right friends, connections, what have you, you're above the law. Well, and yeah, and there's a pretty good chance your political tribe is going to follow you regardless. Now, I mean, it could be something egregious. I mean, obviously there might be a line that could be crossed, but yeah. Like I say, I kind of roll my eyes when I hear that anymore. It's become so, so trite. Mike, thanks. This is Charlie. Hello, Charlie. How you doing? Hey, how you doing, Cruiser? All right, buddy. What's up? I don't have a whole lot to say, but I kind of wanted to call in because I could rant and rave about this topic all day, and I kind of agree with that. I guess you got that text saying, you know, a normal person. We do this most thing. We're crucified, but all these government linked to fear can get us, but. What I was saying, and two, you know, you were even bringing up the measles just like last week or something, but I think this is, you know, related to that. When you put out differencing information and there's questions about it, you know, immediately people are going to start question every other thing that we've been told. Yep. But my main thing I wanted to kind of ask you, because I feel like I'm maybe right about what I'm thinking, but. I don't see Rand Paul as somebody that's just going to go after somebody because they're the opposite party or just for some frivolous action. He just don't seem, you know, he just don't seem like that type of.

politician at all and the ways he's done it because he don't always stay with Trump, you know, so what do you think? Do you think he's got some legitimate cause to bring Anthony Fauci there? I don't see this as some just political. No, I don't either. No, I don't either. And as I said, I think the diary even makes it even more clear that we were not hearing from Anthony Fauci what he truly believed. And Rand Paul, he has. He's been dogged about getting to the origins. the origin story of this virus. And he's convinced that Anthony Fauci misled us and that we were partially funding this sort of gain of function research. And so would we bear some responsibility for funding research that created a virus that got out of the lab? And no, I don't think you're off base. Yeah, that's too far. No, I think he's genuine about this because I think, look, and I appreciate the call, Charlie. It's funny because I was reading something else today about John Thune, the Senate Majority Leader. And he's having a tough time right now because Trump wants him to cancel the August recess so they can pass the Save Act. And to pass the Save Act, he'd have to throw out the filibuster. Those are things that John Thune does not want to do. And the article was talking about how in the next Congress, John Thune may have even more trouble because you've got like three real mega house members that have upgraded. And they're the Republican nominees in their state for the Senate this time around. And they're probably shoe-ins to win. And Rand Paul was mentioned as one of the guys. There's a couple others that are seen as headaches to the leadership because, well, for instance, when the Republicans want to, let's say, extend the debt ceiling. Or when they want to fund the government for a short period of time to reopen it again, Rand Paul is a consistent. No, I'm not voting for that. No, the budget's too high. No, we're spending, spending, spending. We've got to stop. So I do think Rand Paul is one of these guys. I mean, you have a handful of them that I think aren't kind of their own people. And they tend to, they don't necessarily always tend to, yes, I mean, does Rand Paul vote with his party most of the time? Yes, he does. He's a conservative. But he's also a bit of a libertarian, and he does. He kind of, he's out there on his own on a lot of things, even if it flies against what the party wants to, wants to do. All right. And you know, just like COVID, remember we were ratting out our neighbors? They're throwing a party. Didn't we? We had a hotline here. You could call if you thought your neighbors were doing some, having some gathering. And, I mean, COVID turned neighbor against neighbor. Well, you've got that situation going on right now in Colorado in Denver. It's become a flashpoint for neighbor on neighbor accusations over water use. This thing with the, I read something in the New York Times, and I think I mentioned this to you guys some months ago. I read something about the Colorado River and that it was, uh, it was, its water levels were low and that was going to be a problem for Colorado because they get a lot of water out of that. That's where the water comes from in a lot of cases. Colorado's been in a severe drought since at least October of last year, with the October through June period, being the hottest and fourth driest on record, more than 90% of the state remains in drought. Reservoirs are at record lows, and the Colorado River is at all-time lows at some points. Denver Waters asked customers to cut usage by 20% and limit outdoor watering to two days a week.

But by mid-July reductions were only about 5%. And so you got residents reporting on each other for violating mandatory lawn watering restrictions. So there's become this divide between green lawns and brown ones. Neighbor versus neighbor. Neighbor on neighbor accusations over water use. Denver Water has launched an anonymous online reporting form for residents to flag suspected violations. Well, I mean, are these violations? Have they been? consummated into some sort of a law or emergency declaration or something because just because the water company asked you to cut usage by 20% or you, and I'm not saying you shouldn't. In this situation, yeah, you got to cut down on the water use. But do you have to? I mean, if you want to be the guy that has the green lawn and hell with everybody else, do you have to? By June, the utility had received over 4,000 reports of neighbors watering illegally. Some residency value in the system for group accountability and others. Well, they would just say snitches get stitches. I don't know, but that kind of reminded me the old COVID days, and now it's happening in Denver where they've got a serious concern about water. One of our callers addressed it, and I think this stuff with Anthony Fauci and all of this, and really was with COVID and the COVID vaccines. I think that was the start. I think there were already some religious group like Mennonites and some others, but there were pockets of vaccine resistance, but that has really grown to where now measles is not contained anymore. Thank you very much. But this does. This plays into a lack of faith that we have now in. the government institutions, including the health institutions, which we would have to rely on to guide us through the next pandemic, which there probably will be one someday. I don't know. We may not be around for it. That's why I think it's important. I disagree with some people on the text line. COVID was yesterday. Well, but I know, but we've uncovered some government discrepancies about what we were told. What did we really learn? from COVID so we can prevent it again. Question of the day, do you have a lot of faith that the FDA will get to the bottom of the cyclospora infestation? Well, where are we on that now? That continues to grow, doesn't it? The cyclospora situation, let me see, I got some updates on that. 45 states now, the only states that have not seen an outbreak, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, New Mexico, and South Carolina. Michigan and Ohio remain the two states most impacted. Washington, D.C., has got a handful of cases as well. 6,707 laboratory confirmed cases since May the 1st, according to the CDC. That's what they said in their weekly update yesterday. That's a more than 2,500 increase since its last report on July the 21st. Cases now recorded in 45 states up from 41 last week. No deaths, 423 hospitalizations.

This must be a big outbreak then for this many people and for it to to cover such a large geographical area. It must be in something that we all are eating. And I, you know, look, I haven't, I, I, I, uh, I wanted to buy some bag salad last week. I didn't buy it. I bring my lunch. Sometimes I'll buy a bag of greens and I make salad out of it, especially this time of year. We got some tomatoes we're growing. We have cucumbers. Didn't buy it. I can buy the fresh, I guess. That's better. I'll still have to probably put the fresh letter through a, let us through a car wash. So I'm sure it's cleaned enough. But, you know, these bag things, as I said yesterday, and this was pointed out, Timothy Leighton. wrote a column. He's a professor of law at Georgia State University. Bag leafy greens can make outbreaks bigger because food processors pool crops from an array of farms. That means leaves from a single contaminated spinach plant or head of lettuce can end up in many different bags. As far as washing this stuff, Professor Lytton goes on to say, the next place to look for solutions in trying to make fresh produce healthier. is in processing because the widely used process of washing with chlorinated water is inadequate it is okay well that's what they're telling me to do scientists are experimenting with radiation ozone gas ultraviolet light and cold plasma to neutralize pathogens these newer technologies are promising yet face challenges from cost to effectiveness that hinder their broader adoption in the in the industry We're sickened by tainted fruits and vegetables more than any other foods. And they can carry E. coli, salmonella, Listeria, and others. And those are more dangerous than cyclospora. They cause death. Those are what I just mentioned. Of course, being grown outside, you're exposed to all kinds of potential contaminants, including contaminated irrigation water, farm equipment, insects, other animals, pollution. You know, guys with dirty hands, you know, whatever, whatever else. But that's where we are on cyclospora, but the explosive diarrhea parasite in 45 states. It must be in something pretty, or unless you've just got pockets of outbreaks here and there. But again, it seems to me like it's something that got into the food supply in a big way and that, that, that, because this is not contagious. And then that product gets distributed widely across the country. So a question of the day, how much faith do you have in the FDA? Religious music is hot. I can tell you, I can give you evidence of that. I'm not going to do that here, but in just when I see radio, um, listenership levels around here. And then I notice that the YUM Center just welcomed a Christian artist that performed for the second highest crowd in Yom Center history. Grammy nominated Forrest Frank broke the KFC Yom Center's attendance record for a Christian artist.

A show that ranked number two in concert attendance in the venue's history, Frank's The Jesus Generation Tour, shattered the Yom Center's attendance record for a Christian artist with more than 20,400 fans attending the concert last night at the Yom Center. This comes about three months after Grammy Award-winning artist Brandon Lake broke the record for Christian music with 15,000 in attendance. Officials say Frank's record is the second largest attended concert in the Yom Center's history and the largest since Metallica. Set an all-time attendance record with more than 23,000 fans in March of 2019. The center said that that ranks Frank as the number two. The number two man in concert attendance. And the largest Christian concert ever held. The general manager for the KFC YUM Center, Eric Granger called Frank's Tuesday concert, quote nothing short of a defining moment for faith-based live entertainment. I'm telling you, it's hot. From the Stugart Motors text line, Alan, on Chicken Wings, it's National Chicken Wing Day. We all know the boneless chicken wings are just chicken planks. They're not wings. I agree with you, Alan. Do you know if any places in town are having chicken wings specials today? They are. I mentioned a couple of them. Now, you're going to have to download the app or join a loyalty club or something. These places just don't have deals you can walk in and get anymore. I got to sign up and join a club. I got to sign up to be annoyed by junk emails two, three, four times a day for the rest of my natural life. But if I'm willing to do all that, maybe I'll get a half dozen free bonus wings. So Buffalo Wild Wings has got some freebies wing stops, got wing deals and prizes, Pizza Hut with a Bogo deal. Here's another pizza place. We got a few of these, Pissanos. Pizza, they offer wings, Sunny's barbecue wing deal today, Hooters. And I'm not looking at what we've got around here. That should about cover it.
