Hey there, I'm Paula Pan, host of the Afford Anything podcast. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. How should that money get invested? Why value? Why not growth? We're gonna answer all of these questions. All of them? All of them. From investing strategies and the thing about tariffs to economic trends and beyond. In one episode. In one episode. Can you believe it? I gotta ask for a raise. What's 5% of zero?
Oh crap.
Should be relatively decent with a high of 54. Cloudy skies, yes, but tomorrow's sunny and 59. Wednesday, cloudy, 66. And we got some rain coming on Friday, but then next week we might drift into the 70s. Fingers crossed, that actually happens. How nice would that be? Huh? 70s. Bring it, baby. Come on. That is what we are looking for. Get the shorts back out. Oh, we want that. We really want that. We want that a lot. Come on, come on, come on.
Right now, Dixon and Vining here on Talk995 and Talk995.com have a very special concert announcement for you. It's another one of them there, one of them before you can buy them, Delios. Oh, yeah. And we are going to have tickets every single day this week, including this hour, not right now, but this hour. We're going to have some tickets that we are going to be giving away to. What, Valerie? To see.
Come roll. Luke Bryan performing at the Birmingham Coca-Cola Amphitheater. Wow. That is a Saturday night. Yes. July 19th. Sweet. And we've got your tickets. It's going to be exciting. Yeah, man. George Bird, J. Avery, Anna, Drake Milligan, and DJ Rock will be there as well. And we got one pair of tickets every single day this week for this July 19th show. That is going to be on you before you know it. Absolutely. It will. It's amazing how quick
Well, you've realized we're in the last week of January right now. Love it. I wasn't along. Look, Brian, huge, massively successful country artist. You're going to want to get tickets to see this guy. If you don't win them from us, you can pick them up Friday, rather, starting at 10 a.m.
And we'll give you the details on how to do that later. Right now, all we really want to do is to give these away. And we'll do that coming up at about the next 25 minutes or so. Yeah, and just know that each day this week, Richard and I will have a pair of tickets. So today and through the rest of the week, just listening in the morning between six and 10, we'll give you an opportunity to score a pair of those tickets before they go on sale on Friday morning. I like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like it. We're very excited about it. Okey-dokey. It must be time to go ahead and do this thing then, huh?
And now it's Dixon and Vining's top three things you need to know today. All right, you've heard about the female hostages released by Hamas. Heard about Pete Hagseth and Christie Gnome being approved by the Senate. Pete Hagseth by just one vote. Christie Gnome by quite a few.
So let's move on to cover some of the stories you have not heard about as of yet today. Like the plaintiffs in the $30 million Hoover football lawsuit say the judge in the case has family ties to the team and the school and he wants they want this thing reassigned. He needs to recuse himself from this case.
Reginald L. Jeter's wife apparently worked for the Hoover school system for a good bit of time, including as an assistant principal and a liaison, director of curriculum and instructor. There's enough of a tie there that I would feel uncomfortable with having this guy. Absolutely. And just because you're suing the school system. Yeah. And she was part of it. Yeah, that doesn't work. And she's still, by the way, involved in education. She's just actually the assistant state superintendent for the Alabama Department of Education.
It's going to like, yeah, can we get somebody who's not that close to the thing? Yeah, there's too many ties there. And if you were the one filing this lawsuit, there's no doubt you would ask for this judge to recuse himself. Let's find somebody else that doesn't have this connection.
Yeah, this once again goes back to the football coaches who were behaving lutely and incorrectly with, in some cases, pushing their players down, ripping their helmets off. Pelvic thrusts were involved. Just some really stupid stuff. Well, a lot of that's just humiliating. It's one thing to correct your players in the way that they're practicing or whatever it is that you're doing. It's another to, you know, humiliate them. And apparently that this was nothing new for a couple of these coaches. Uh huh.
that if you look in the background, there were complaints at other places that they worked. And that's what they're, they're going to reveal in this case. Exactly. The claim is, hey, these guys didn't do their due diligence. They didn't do background checks on these guys. Is it worth 30 million? Almost certainly not, but you know, you aim for 30 million. They'll probably get something out of this if they end up winning. If you get a half a million or a couple of million, you consider that a victory.
250,000 children were born to illegal immigrants in 2023, according to a preliminary report. That number comes out just as Donald Trump has sworn in, rather has signed an executive order that says, we're ending birthright citizenship. That, of course, being challenged in court, it will find its way all the way up to the Supreme Court eventually as we, you know, sort of
Pick apart the 14th Amendment and decide exactly what it is it says. But 250,000 kids a year in four years, that's a million new American citizens we didn't bargain for. No, it sure isn't way to go. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, it's all on you guys. A lot of kids. That is a lot. In fact, it's more children than were born in individually 48 of the 50 states.
In other words, it's more children than say we're born in Arizona, more children than we're born in Montana, more children than we're in all but two, Texas and California. It was more children than we're born in any given state out of 48 states. That's crazy that we just we just added a 51st state and it's full of illegals.
Unbelievable. It ain't right. Now, let's see. What else can I tell you? We discussed that already. Oh, George man convicted in an Alabama shotgun shooting death of a man found dead in a truck toolbox. Remember this happened a couple of years ago. This body turned up in a truck toolbox wrapped in plastic 40 year old look chancy.
Williams was killed with a shotgun by apparently 31 year old Eric Kyle Hooper of Center. A Cherokee County jury has now convicted him of that murder. Williams body found March 15th, the hides of March 2022 during road maintenance and Esam Hill Road in Polk County, Georgia. The road crew discovered a black truck toolbox that contained a body wrapped in a tarp.
GBI identified Williams, who lived in Cedar Town as the victim, said he had been shot twice. Court documents state Williams was killed on March the 9th, so was really only six days until his body was uncovered. Finger-tipped on the duct tape used to seal the plastic from the tarp around Williams' body, as well as some witness statements led authorities to identify Hooper as the suspect. He was charged, recently found guilty. It was a drug deal going wrong.
Fingerprints on some duct tape. That's what got him. I'd like to hear more news stories about drug deals that went right. You never get those, you know? Here's your crystal meth. Here's your money. Thank you very much. Everyone goes in separate ways. That's the good news we all need. Really? This drug deals going wrong thing is getting tires. I don't care for it. You don't want it to go wrong this way. Oh, absolutely not. There was your life over some drugs. That was bad. Was it really worth it? I don't know. It really was. I would think not.
uh... bonus story about this alabama couple received a sweet surprise of the parking lot of crispy cream on wednesday shania shanja shanja s h a yes okay apostrophe ny a bennett uh-huh shanaya sure we'll go with that i'd be experiencing contractions while at her dothan home during the second day of a historic winter storm event
As the contractions intensified, Bennett, her partner, Keon Mitchell, and their four-year-old son began heading to Flowers Hospital. However, due to the roads being iced over from the weather, it was taking too long for the family to reach their destination. Keon said about a mile from the hospital, Bennett began screaming to call 911. She could feel the baby's head.
John turned into a closed Krispy Kreme parking lot. Moments later, Dallas Bennett made his grand entrance into the world. Oh, wow. Nothing like having a baby in a Krispy Kreme parking lot. Nothing says love like that. They missed out. They missed out. He's a boy who's born in the car. Right. Should have been named Carson. Come on.
Carson, something with a K, the middle call and take that. Carson. Crispy. Yeah. Come on. We were holding on to Dallas' head, turned to the Krispy Kreme parking lot. Boop, he popped out. Keon said everything happened so fast, the paramedics arrived within three minutes of his son's birth. They were like, we don't need y'all here. You're done. Yep. Krispy Kreme said, wow, in exchange for this, how about we are giving you
A lifetime of free donuts. Or a year's supply. Is that all? Was it a year's supply? A year's supply? I think it was a year. Well, that's what I was going to say. What qualifies as a... We should have, we should have Krispy Kreme donuts for the rest of their lives. This should be a life supply of Krispy Kreme.
And it should be for the kid's life. It should be like the child's life supply. He should get the couple gets free donuts for a year. That's not enough. No, it's not enough. That is just not right. Oh, and they'll also host his first birthday party at Krispy Kreme. I mean, should I, should I, is going to take the baby weight off? That's for starters. So she doesn't need donuts. Let's be clear. Yeah, she can have a donut now. She does not have it. Eat away, girl. Okay. Listen, she had a baby. She can have whatever she wants. She'd have a 12 pack of donuts if she wants donuts. That would be 13 because it's a baker's dozen.
Life time supply. Step up. Life time supply. You need to give her a lifetime supply. They gave birth to a kid in your parking lot. A dozen donuts at least once per week for the rest of her life. He was born a free press that comes with it. In the glow of the hot donuts now sign. And then they should give it to the child once he reaches 18. He should have donuts for life. They should have named him hot donuts. What were they thinking? That's what they should have named him.
What should they name them? Hot donuts. Hot donuts. Hot donuts. What are your potentials here? Hot now. Hot now. Jeez. 815 with Dixon and Vining Pro Lift garage doors says, how about one of them their insulated garage doors? OK. We're through the cold weather and you go, well, he struggled through that. OK.
You know what we have a lot of in Alabama? Really hot weather. Weather that's in the upper 90s, the low 100s, the humidity at shocking levels. And wouldn't it be nice if inside your garage, with the door closed, you had that AC bleeding in from the house and you have an insulated garage door. So working in there is as comfortable as it would be to say work in your own living room, except you wouldn't put a table saw in your living room, right?
I'm just making suggestions here. It also would keep your car, you know, right there, temperature controlled. I love that. Pro Lift has got the garage doors you're looking for.

Nice day, cloudy, yes, but a high of 54 is good for me because I am sick to death of the deep freeze, man. Now yesterday it was pretty nice. Did get some needle-like rain. Is that the park with the dogs? And it didn't exactly unload on us, but it did start to pelt us pretty good. And so we were like, okay, half a miles enough this time, kids, we're gonna have to boogie. And it was 50 degrees, but it definitely felt colder.
Yeah, and it's going to be nice as we progress through the week to see 60 degrees. And early next week we saw 70 on the weather map. We'll see if we get that. But man, that is just incredible for this time of year. We'll take it. I guess, you know, when you get
Snow on the ground in Alabama. You deserve a little bit of 60 and 70 degrees. So sooner the better. So nice. Yeah. A little break from the rain after this moves through this morning, but we're going to get some more rain in here later in the week. Good time to call B-dry. Those of you that are dealing with any

A23 and the good news, Pygney Woman is still alive and kicking.
That would be the woman who has the pig kidney. Yeah, she seems to be doing pretty well. Her name is Tawana Looney tunes. And she has a pig kidney 61 days as of yesterday, which is very impressive because the longest anyone has lived
with a pig organ in them has been 60 days. Not only is she living, but she is living her best life. She's taking long walks around New York city. She is hanging out. She's actually, you know, she's an Alabama woman, but she is visiting there and she, she's just going and doing and being and living. She's like, I feel great. I feel absolutely great. Wow. Mm hmm.
So is there some prediction about, you know, the longevity of her? I mean, is this something we're looking at way down the road or is this just a trial balloon we got going here? Yeah, I believe that this is kind of a, you know, look, she was at the point where it's like, you know, you could take the pig kidney or you can die here now.
So let's go ahead and try the pig kidney. And if it lasts for two months, well, that's two months longer than you have. And we'll get some information out of it, right? Which is you think back to Barney Clark, the guy that got the first artificial heart. And it was like he knew he wasn't going to make it. He was aware that it wasn't going to last a long time. He had to have a backpack on to power the thing. It was crazy. But it got us a little further down the scientific road. Eventually, you have to test this thing on humans.
And we are at the point where we are testing it on people who are just at the end of the line where like, it's this or die. And I'm sure several people choose, I'll take die. I don't really want to pig organ inside of me, Muslims mostly, but still. That would never work. So wrong. It is so wrong. Could be Jews. Could be Jews. Anyway, they're trying to be kosher. That's all.
So, um, listen, you could bless the pig and put the heart in there. Just go ahead. If you say so, it'll be all right. All right. It's kosher. There you go. The, the religious leader, Valerie Vining has spoken on what is acceptable. Just say that it's been blessed. Exactly. Only four other Americans have received hugely experimental transplant from gene edited pig organs, two hearts, two kidneys, none lived more than two months.
So making it 61 days is a big deal and 61 days and being in relatively good shape. Aside from an overwhelming craving for slop, she's really doing. Richard, stop. What? That's so wrong. I don't understand. Oh.
The woman is alive. That's what I'm sure her family and friends care about the most. Yeah. And that it's working. Oh yeah. I'm sure it is. And getting a little further down the road to see what kind of genetic changes have to be made in order to make this work means that we could eventually get to the point where, yeah, we can use
pig organs, rather than have it to wait for a human to kick, you know? Or, you know, make sure that, and when it comes to a kidney, they don't necessarily have to be dead, but they do have to be a match. So, you know, and you're taking a healthy kidney from somebody who could probably use it and putting it in somebody who has unhealthy kidneys. And so it's, you know, it's dangerous on both sides. Here it's like, it's a pig. It's a pig. It's okay. Why a pig?
I guess they're closest to human physiology. What about like a chimpanzee? You would think, right? Yeah. I mean, like, why not that? But they put up too much of a fight, apparently.
The pigs just go quietly. This whole segment. It's all. Well, there's a theory. Yeah. I don't know. I hope that this is becoming a thing where, you know, someday if I need a kidney and who knows, you know, that would work. I certainly have abused mine over the years. Liver, too. At some point, they may be like, Hey, listen, time for the pygmy. Break it out.
Get the pig kidney into Dixon over here. It's not even, it's gonna feel right at home in him. Have you heard his show? Exactly. That sums it up nicely. Man, if there's not a promo in there, I don't know where it went.
Oh, can you tell it's Monday? It's almost feeling a little Friday. It does not feel like Friday to me. It does not feel like Friday to me at all. It feels like there's an entire week stretching out in front of us. And it's another week of Donald Trump being president, which means we have many stories today. You know, every day we try to balance national and local stories on this show.
There's too much national right now. It's like drinking from a fire hose. It's just the guy is just spewing us and blasting us with one thing after another after another. We even said this earlier this morning off the air, Richard. But the press secretary, what's her name? Carolyn Levin. Yeah, we're like, has anybody even heard from her yet? No, because Trump's sucking all the air out of the room. There's no time for her. He's like, I don't need to do my job. He's got it covered by being a third string quarter.
back. My job is so easy. This is the difference between Biden and KJP. KJP had to talk literally every day because Joe Biden was nowhere to be fine. And now it's opposite. We can't get Trump to be quiet. The press secretary can have a word. You know, it's amazing. Trump flew to North Carolina, visited the people there and then off to
L.A., where he visited the fire people and he sat in a meeting and just basically ripped Karen Bass a new one and talked about, you're taking too long. This is taking far too long. Let these people clean up their own homes. You have emergency powers. You can do that. You know, this 18 months nonsense is ridiculous, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And then he flew back to Washington, D.C. and continued head more to the day.
I organized my office Sunday and was winded. Okay? That's the difference between me and Donald Trump at this point. Holy cow. If you've got trucks that aren't quite meeting your businesses' needs, what you need, my friend, is an upfitting.

We're going to give you a shot today and every day this week with a little game called Famous Luke's. Famous Luke's. Famous Luke's. Okay. I like it. All you need to do is be the 11th person to text us the answer to this famous Luke question. This famous Luke, no longer with us.
Ah, there's a clue. Number one. God, his start on the television show Beverly Hills 90210. Later went on to appear in such films as eight seconds, the fifth element and once upon a time in Hollywood. 11th person to text us the name of this famous Luke.

Unless we already have it. We're watching most of you. If you've never texted. We've got drones in the sky. We're keeping an eye on you people. We know what's going on.
A lot of people know the answer to this one. Maybe not. They do. And that's good news. Y'all are all over it. Keep them coming. The 11th person with the correct answer, Steve, is going to pluck them out of the lineup. Roland, Roland, Roland. Keep them coming, people. We love it. There'll be more Luke questions over the course of the week. So be on top of it. All right. 838. And wow. Okay. The United States Secret Service is now under scrutiny after the attempts at shooting Donald Trump. I will say,
If there's something that needs a solid overhaul, and Trump, by the way, I think he played it just right when Butler, Pennsylvania, he didn't like excoriate the Secret Service people because he's like, these people are responsible for my life. I have to be, hey, the people on stage, they were fantastic. They did a great job. They protected me. It was wonderful. It was, you know, of course, laud the folks who threw themselves on top of him, so on and so forth. Then he gets an office and he can go, yeah, yeah, we're replacing the guy at the top, which he did. Yeah.
He did. He replaced him with his own guy, which I thought was interesting. The guy who had been in charge of his detail, he's like, I know you. I know you're doing a good job. You threw yourself on top of me. I love that. That was very exciting. And so, you know, you can make the changes from the inside, but clearly
There was something horribly wrong there, and we never really did a good look or inside scoop on what happened. I felt wanting after the Butler thing, didn't you? I was kind of like... Oh, no question, because there was all that discussion about someone was supposed to be covering that roof. Well, you even go back to the detail that gets their days in advance.
You would say one of the closest buildings that it was that rooftop that rooftop should have been covered like. Yeah. I don't even want to use the description I was going to, but they should have been all over that. That that was the closest rooftop and you're telling me on the day that Donald Trump is doing an outdoor rally.
There's no one on top of that rooftop and this guy is moving around with backpacks and binoculars, rangefinders, whatever it is you want to say that he was doing that day on a bicycle zip-zipping around and he's able to get on that. What the heck is going on with Trump's detail? Yeah, people. And even local law enforcement, come on, they knew that that was
And that was the problem. They were the guys who spotted them, but they were not on the same channel as the Secret Service. So the communications was completely disrupted. It looked like the three stooges out there that you all couldn't get this together. That was ridiculous. This was absolute failure from the top down. And that's only what we know, which again is strange because, you know, there's a lot of stuff that we haven't heard. I never really felt like we got a complete after
Yeah, here's what we found out through all of it. There was no end to it. No full and complete report on the situation, which are very disturbing. All right, we have a winner here. Enter and sign in, mystery guest. What is your name, sir? Jimmy. Jimmy, you're from where? Fodenville. And what do you do for a living, Jimmy? I'm a mechanic. And what was the answer to our Luke Quiz question? Luke Perry.
That is correct! Yes, indeed! Congratulations! Jimmy, you have just won yourself a pair of tickets to go see Luke, Brian, at the Coca-Cola Embassy at a Saturday, July 19th, with special guest George Bird, Avery Anna, Drake Milligan, and DJ Rock. That's right!
These tickets don't even go on sale until, hold on till the end. These tickets don't even go on sale until Friday at 10am. Oh my gosh. It's from Dixon and Finding the Coca-Cola ambideater. And from Spiegel Chicago, Illinois, 60609. And talk 99.5. We'll always forget that. Cool. Those people. Right, the people who signed my ticket. Jimmy, you don't have to pay extra for that. You realize that all comes free. That's right. Every bit of that. Oh yeah, yeah, I do.
He's like, how much do I have to pay to keep him from saying that? Is there money I could pay to make him stop? So I'm taking you're a huge Luke Bryan fan and I'm excited. He's coming to the Coca-Cola amphitheater. Jimmy, are you?
yeah i'm a big country plan all right after music awesome awesome will you got those tickets before they even go on sale excellent but for you do we have all of his info or do we know okay we're going to hold and see you pick up and run with it from uh... there i love the fact that uh... we got the winning uh... statement from jimmy uh... i went through that entire spiel and then john texted us luke perry uh... that john
That's okay. Contest is over. Maybe he's pre-texted and he's texting again just to make sure we got it. Sure, no, I'm looking at it. He's texted us wheels a lot though. A lot of wheels. Yeah, keep doing that. We've got those to give away. Still giving those away. That's happening on Friday, absolutely. Okay, we'll have another Luke question tomorrow for Luke Bryan tickets of the Coca-Cola Anthony. A lot of concerts coming up. I looked in my little digital wallet.
Yesterday we got a lot there. I am loaded down with events that are coming up all very rapidly like just one after another after another not necessarily because again Past me had these great plans and present me as like crap. I'm not really good. This is a lot of work Well, you could give the tickets away. I'm not going to give them to me not gonna happen
And just once again, to reiterate, because some are like, oh, our Coca-Cola amphitheater used to be Oak Mountain. No, this is the brand new amphitheater in Birmingham, downtown Birmingham, that they are constructing right now. Still in the process of building. You will be sitting in some brand new seats, because I think Luke is one of the July 19th comes before the Toto show, I think, and we just gave away some. I think it's after Teddy Swift. Jason Aldine, Aldine.
Um, and some others. Yeah. Yeah. So this may, maybe one of the newer shows. Going to be one of the more, uh, yeah, sooner ones. Yeah. Hey, a quick, uh, congrats to Alabama basketballs, SEC win over LSU and congrats to Auburn for defeating, uh, Tennessee, but wow, a huge stampede, you know, game day was there. Number one versus number six.
Apparently, some people got crushed, trampled underfoot, and things were ugly. And, you know, Auburn, they're like, we're not used to having a really good basketball team, so we're not sure how to handle it. I'm so let me change that. We're not really sure about having a really good sports team, so this is huge.
Well, this really wasn't handled exactly the way that it needed to be and it created this where they said you couldn't line up. Usually they're there lined up the day, the night before, right? Or the day before for this when it's game day. And apparently they didn't allow them in until like six 30. Well, by then you've got just a massive people that are trying to get into the arena and it caused the stampede issue.
So hopefully they don't do it this way the next time. It's also, by the way, let's not let the people who were involved off the hook. You know, you were in a line of some semblance. You were in some, you know, maybe not a perfect, but there was a kind of, there were people at the front and there were people in the middle and there were people on the back and the people on the back were like, I'm going in. No, you're not.
Be a human being for the love of God. Stay where you are in line, everybody move forward. Why must you be like this? Why you're knocking people over, you're trampling over the top of them, you're not animals. No. Stop it. I mean, seriously. Not as good. No, act like a decent human being. This is ridiculous. We actually have to tell people not to do that. Don't trample one another. Try not to trample each other, it's wrong.
845 with Dixon and Vining Parrot Structural Services Parrot SS dot com 668 2626. So you've got a foundation issue or you think you might have when you were out and about to round the foundation of your home and you saw some stair step cracks in the brick that made you go hmm.
I'm kind of curious about that. I'm not sure I like that. Well, that's where you call Parrot Structural, 6682626. You have them come out, take a good long look at what you have, and then give you a prognosis. They'll look inside. They'll look outside. If you've got a crawl space, they'll get in there. If you've got a basement, they'll go down there. And then, of course, they'll, you know, see what's happening all over the house.
just to make absolute certain that the diagnosis and the prognosis that they give you is absolutely right. And then they say, get a structural engineer to back us up because we want you to be sure we're absolutely right about this. Now you can or you don't have to, but I can tell you it's nice to have somebody who is so concerned about you and your well-being.
that they're going to ask you to do that.
I'll take it. Yeah. I'll take it. I mean, I did you and I did the same thing. I'm in the bathroom getting ready this morning and I'll look at the temperature. I was like, 45. I was like 45. We're not in the teens. This is great. I mean, we're used to like 11. That's what we've been seeing guys. When you wake up at 3 30 in the morning and you look at the temp and you go, 11. Remember those mornings were lonely. Mm hmm. Yeah.
And the car heated up like right away on the way to work. I did not turn off my street before I was like, I can actually turn this up. The thing is when we have temperatures like, you know, later in the day, you and like everybody else do, you get done with work, you get home, you get out of your work clothes order, you got on and get comfortable.
I always throw on a pair of shorts and some type of long sleeve comfortable shirt, whatever it might be. But when we have teens out, there's no way. I'm like, I'm in my house and I look like I'm in Alaska. Even though the heat is going, it's like, you've got to dress. There's no way around it, except for Wilson. Wilson's probably in shorts.
But, you know, with temperatures like this, it's like, all right, back to the shorts, you know? Fantastic. Wilson and John Fetterman. Those are the two people you can count on. And Andrew McLean, yeah. Hey, by the way, Andrew's haircut looks fantastic. I just have to say it. There's some people that have given him grief, and I'm like, would you all just be quiet? You finally cut his hair and it looks fantastic.
i'd rather like the uh... the uh... comparison to sling blade i think that's all that was the one i was very attractive about i was like i was not nice he looks great okay and you just keep it like it is
Well, I mean, it's going to grow whether he wants it to or not. I know, just keep it cut. Keep it trimmed. Keep it trimmed as he gives it. You look younger for starters. He does. And you look thinner. He already has lost a ton of weight, but taking all that hair off, you look significantly thinner. So is he still wearing the visor with a haircut or is the visor gone too? Oh, the visor's there. He wears the visor. Yeah, OK. Yeah. Because I thought the visor was kind of there at all. Look, cutting his hair did not fix his horrible fashion sense at all.
is still wearing the Tennessee gear and the shorts and the really crappy shoes and all that is still happening.
But the hair looks nice for a change. Oh, I'll have to pop in and see what he's got on today. All right. I'll be like, what do you, what do you got on, Andrea? Mm-hmm. How about that, Matt? How about that, Matt? A Trump shirt or a Tennessee shirt? Uh-huh. It's pretty, pretty fair bet. Bucky's has filed a lawsuit against a smaller Texas based gas station chain on allegations of copyright infringement. Uh-oh. They say the Super Fuel's logo is a little too similar to the Bucky's logo.
lawsuit filed by buckies in u.s. district court argues that super fuels cartoon dog and a cape logo too similar to the buckies cartoon beaver in a hat. Oh, you're kind of stretching it. Yeah, a little bit. I'm looking at the two logos here. Okay. The thing that really is interesting is that super fuels clearly designed their stores to be similar to buckies.
You know, it's got the rounded sort of almost alamo-like top on it.
where the logo goes and the logo is about the same size, and it is a cartoon dog. They say with similar coloration, they both have red in them and brown in them. This isn't even close, come on. You're really pushing it, guys. Yeah, I mean, sorry. I mean, it's easy to kind of borrow the model, the big, you know, lots of fuel pumps and everything else, and you're gonna have a character. The colors are, come on, no. The real question here is, could a reasonable person be confused
about this, that they are at Superfields and they think they're at Bucky's and the answer is no. No, I don't think so. Which is why I think a court will rule against Bucky's and say, you're pushing it. They might be trying for some sort of settlement or something because Bucky's is huge and they can crush competition like this, but I don't think it's right. They may also be trying to stop others from expanding into this realm where like ours is a groundhog. I don't know what you're talking about. We got a badger for ours.
Yeah, this is a guinea pig. It's a little too close. I get it. I see why they might say we have to file some sort of, but I walk into an Aldi and I see phase potato chips and it's an exact ripoff of the Lay's logo and I'm like, Lay's ain't suing these guys. Come on, get over it.
I mean, this is clearly something that if they wanted to, Frito-Lay could be like, no, you can't. I mean, I don't think that there's anything that they can do if they, again, wanna steal like what the model of the floor is that they're serving meals in there and then they have an exorbitant amount of beef jerky and they've got a little area where you can buy little gifts and things like that and they've got 100 fuel pumps instead of 200 fuel pumps. I mean, anybody can do that. You can't stop them from doing that.
And the logo is not even close. It doesn't look close to me that they're both looking in the same direction. They're both looking like, you know, off to the right, all right. But yeah, the dog on the blue circle, you know, brown dog. I don't know. I think you're pushing it. I know you don't like it because it is similar, but it's not.
lawsuit wants a permanent injunction to prevent super fuels from using the dog logo for super fuels to pay buckies for any ill gotten gains and for all signs, packages and other materials with a dog logo to be destroyed. I don't think they win this one. I do not see it. But again, they might just be threatening in order to get a some sort of a brokered settlement where they go, okay, how about this?
we change the logo and we just sell out of the stuff that we have and we don't keep you know we don't just get rid of the logo why can't you do why can't you just have packages and stuff in the store that has the logo on it they want them all destroyed
So it's like, how about you just let us sell out of that and we'll change the logo and we won't have to do this anymore. What are you going to use? And then they change the logo. Superfuels. They change the logo to a hedgehog. And it's like, hey, that's too close. And then you get Sonic coming after you. What are you doing? Come on. I don't know. Look, I haven't been to Bucky's in a while. And now that I say that out loud, I'm kind of sad about it.
We'll get on over there. No, I'm out of diet. The only thing I really want. I want that sandwich. I want the brisket. I like their brisket sandwiches. I realize it's not the best brisket. Don't get on me about this. No, but it's pretty good. But for the price for gas station brisket, it's damn fine. It's pretty good. Damn fine. What I really like
is their breakfast. That was what I got the last time I was there. I was headed over to the Blue Light Art Special show, right? And I sat on a pause here and grabbed me one of these here, bacon, egg, and cheese burritos. And it was a beautiful, I mean, it was
Jammed full. I don't remember what I paid for it. I know it wasn't cheap, but I remember eating it and going worth every penny Put a little bit of that hot sauce on there. You go. And me a gigantic diet. You're making us hungry. Thanks, Richard. And of course, yeah, I can't do that now because if I do that, then the diet gets thrown in reverse. I've done very, very well up to this. That's the sound I do make when I back up because I'm that size. That's why the diet is happening.
Mmm. We'll get there. I'm closing in on goal number one. I'm closing in. I thought I was going to get there. What's goal number one? Well, the goal number one is I got to get under 200 pounds. And you're close. I'm close. I'm on the edge. I should be there easily by this coming weekend. I'm glad I surpassed that goal. I'm under 200. Well, yes, needless to say.
No, my goal is a little different than that. But that's goal one. OK, you have to set little marks along the line of golf. I want to get there. I'll allow myself to eat this one thing and then down, you know, from there. For me, it's like the 10 pound marks like, you know, once I reach a 10 pound mark, it's like, oh, OK, a little treat. Yeah. And then back on it. It is. And go where you want to go. A little treat, too. A little treat. Got to be a little treat. You can't be like, well, my reward is going to be the buffet at Golden Corral.
No, you can't know. No, no, no, no. No. At least not at RA. It doesn't work that way anymore. Nothing that involves the words all you can eat should be involved really ever in your life. You're not supposed to eat all you can eat. Have you ever thought about that? It sure is fun. Isn't it? Come on, can I have another one of those big fat yeast rolls? It's waddling out of a place. Can I have one for each pocket? And I need some for him, my purse, please.
No. I need those wrapped up and ready to go. Yikes. I can't live that way. 9 o'clock, Dixitivining, talk. 995.com.
