Quin Hillyer Harris's VP - Scott Tindle talked about his history in Mobile and Bitcoins - Mobile Mornings - Tuesday 8-06-24
We'll get back with her a little bit, also Scott Tindall, who has got a program right here on FM Talk 106.5, beyond the blockchain tonight at 8 o'clock and he will also be in this morning to talk about his show tonight and also what happened to the stocks yesterday and the damage done to the stocks in general, including Bitcoin. We'll talk to Scott about that. Meanwhile, Quinn, I guess there's a few things we can probably chew up here on the morning of this Tuesday morning, so much going on, including some -- is this official yet breaking news with Kamala Harris? Well, now it's being reported by numerous places, including that she has chosen very, very liberal Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz to be her running mate over, you know, going hard left instead of going more toward the center, which she could have done with Governor Shapiro of Pennsylvania. So she is a lefty and she's doubling down and she's going hard left. So now both sides, rather than reaching out to the middle, have chosen running mates that only appeal to their base. This is very interesting and not good for the country. All right, so let's get into this thing here. The choice is Waltz, who appeared to be as left as any of the potential candidates, correct? Yeah, clearly, the ones that were under serious consideration by far the one most -- the one least able to even pretend to be a moderate. All right, so she just got thrust into this position two weeks ago. So she subtly is not running for vice president, she's running for president. Certainly this was not her decision, or maybe she had a say in it, but this partying machine is a lot bigger than Kamala Harris. I would disagree with you there, this is Kamala Harris's decision, this is who she is. The idea that there is some sort of secret machine pulling every string is one that I have always rejected or almost always rejected in almost every circumstance. Yeah, there was a group of individuals that worked together to try to get Biden out, but clearly they weren't even on the same page because it looked like the Obamas were caught by surprise when they all went for Kamala Harris in the first place rather than going for an open convention. So I don't think this is anybody other than Kamala Harris obviously talking to her advisors, but this is what this says. She is so anti-Israel and she is so much in hock to the radical pro-Palestinian wing of her party that she was not able to go with Josh Shapiro because he is pro-Israel through and through, and right there that tells you that she is the lefties even apart from anything else, but then Shapiro also had some other moderate streaks, he's basically for school choice although he hadn't really fought for it, and he's shown a great decency and a willingness to reach across the aisle, she rejected all that, she could have gone to the center, instead she went to a guy who is very far left when he was in the Senate, he got less than 10% from the American Conservative Union all the time, he got less than 10% basically from every conservative group, and he got in the 90% from all the liberal groups. This is a hard left choice saying "I've got an easy opponent, I think I can take Trump, I don't need to reach to the middle, I'm going to create a radical left-wing presidency." That's what she's saying. Okay, Quinn, I've got, so this is a story in my heap of stories that I got here on my right here, that I looked at over the weekend, I found over the weekend, I didn't think much of it at the time. May I read it to you real quick? Sure. The left heaped pressure on Vice President Kamala Harris over the weekend to stand firm in her radical positions on major legislative issues. The radicalized wing of the Democrat Party appears to be concerned about Harris' seeming pivot to the middle last week, anonymous Harris campaign sources tried to walk back at least four far left policies that Harris supported. Harris as the most far left US Senator in 2019, according to GovTrack's scorecard, must wrangle with her radical allies as she seeks to win independent voters in so-called blue wall states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The left, however, remains adamant that Harris must carry its agenda into the general election, causing further division within the party amid running may considerations. So political playbook reported the infighting on Monday, quote, "Harris has been able to keep a low profile on many issues that cleave Democrats, but in the short period, it took for her to lock down the party's presidential nomination. She has already staked out positions on a pair of key issues, climate and abortion policy, that buck progressives who hoped she would go further than President Joe Biden." Anyway, so it looks like if there was pressure on her, the pressure went out. Well, the pressure from the left went out. Here's the deal. So there are the political consultants who want to win. Right. First and foremost, they want to win, and they were all urging her or almost all urging her to go with Shapiro or maybe with Kelly of Arizona, somebody that could pretend to be more moderate. Right. That's what they wanted. Then you have the left-wing activist base, and they were pushing her to go left for Waltz or for maybe Buttigieg. And so it's not like there's one party apparatus, if there's an actual, to the extent there's a party apparatus, they wanted her to go to the middle and make sure they won. Sure. But the outside-the-party activist groups who, of course, make up a big part of the party's coalition, but it's not the party itself, they wanted Waltz or Buttigieg. And they, that's who she is comfortable with, that's who she listens to. And so she basically told the professional winners, "I don't care. I want to go with my left-wing buddy, basically." So essentially the way you see it, for sure, both Republicans, Trump, picking JD Vance, even on the Democratic side with Kamala picking Waltz, they were treated further to the fringes of the identity of their party, correct? They both doubled down to the people that were already supporting them. And rather than reaching to the middle or not as much ideological middle as much as it is sort of attitudinal middle. I mean, JD Vance is about as MAGA as you can get in terms of his style and his culture and the rest of it and then pushing some of these sort of non-traditional conservative ideas. But he's very MAGA-like, very Trump-like in the way that he pushes it, the way that he insults other people, et cetera, et cetera. But that was the base that Trump was already popular in. And yet Trump went with his base rod into somebody like, like a Glenn Yunken, who has already proven he can get votes from suburban people, from soccer mobs, et cetera. Well, that's what Kamala Harris has now done. She's gone to her left-wing base rather than to the center, rather than to somebody who, by the way, I mean, Josh Shapiro, bless his heart. He came out and had said all the right things after the Trump assassination attempt. He had a record when they had that fire that knocked down the overpass, the state overpass and he got something back up temporary in 12 days. He just said, "Forget all the stupid regulations I'm declaring a state of emergency and I'm getting this done." So he's a can-do guy. No, she didn't. She wanted a guy who would appeal to the left because she's afraid of the left-wing, A, and B, she's part of the left-wing. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. When is she afraid of the left-wing or is that her true colors? Well, it's both. I mean, look, she is the single most radical major party nominee, most radical left major party nominee in U.S. history, by far. I mean, look, when in 2019 that independent group, Ugov.Utract.gov or whatever it's called, get her to the left of Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders had a rating of 0.2 with zero being the most left-wing. He was 0.2. You know what she was? She was 0.0. Wow. She is, people don't get this. She is unbelievably extreme and she's vicious. I mean, okay. Here's the deal. You go back and you look like I did at the way that she questioned Supreme Court nominees, the way that she questioned our own Jeff Sessions when he was up for Attorney General. And the smear is the thing with her. She will take any allegation no matter how absurd and twist it and go with it and make it and make it look like it's real. She went with this Julie Sweatnick who was the lady, the woman, who accused Brett Kavanaugh of participating in a gang rape at the beat parties, which is the Michael Avenatti lawyer thing. Sweatnick was, I mean, that was so obviously alive from the beginning. Sweatnick ended up having to withdraw it, but while it was out there, even though it was absurd, Kamala Harris was out there pushing it as if it were real because the smear is the thing. She hates conservatives. She hates anybody that's not a total left winger. Before we get to the break and fill out this conversation with more things that are highly disturbing, has she, in a sense, done Republicans a bit of a favor here? Oh yeah, now the one thing Republicans need to worry about is Walt says a very folksy manner and he could appeal to people who aren't really looking at his ideology. Yeah, yeah, I mean, his personalities are apparently pretty good, but in every other way, she has done Republicans a favor because they're going to be able to say, "Just like I am, this is left wing on top of left wing on top of left wing." Wow. Yeah, we've got a number of other things to get to including the stock market and what's going on in the Middle East. Can we do that on the way? Sure. More with Quinn Hillier, Quinn Hillier dot com and the Washington Examiner on the way after this break. Good morning from Dan and Leanna and Quinn Hillier, Quinn Hillier dot com and the Washington Examiner. Morning again, Quinn, thanks for being with us, man. Glad to be on with you. So yesterday was an eye opener on Wall Street and not just Wall Street, but across the globe actually. Things look like they're selling down a little bit this morning, but man, that was a heck of a Monday, wouldn't it? Yeah, well, the stock market had a very bad day responding to a number of signals, one of which was an unexpectedly sharp uptick in unemployment, which was actually sort of delayed because you would have thought that keeping interest rates so high for so long would have started to knock up unemployment a little earlier than it did. And so it could have been just sort of catching up with what should have started earlier based on the fact that the Federal Reserve has been keeping interest rates not super high but high now for several years, which they had to do to get rid of the inflation caused by Biden and Harris. And it was inflation that every thoughtful, reasonable person predicted, including some top Democratic economists who said, if you pass this huge spending that Biden, Harris, want to push, you're going to create inflation. They pushed it, it created inflation, and the only way to get rid of inflation was for the Federal Reserve to knock up interest rates and to keep them up. And so now you have the other reaction, which is eventually when you keep interest rates that high, unemployment starts to rise, and this economy will be blamed on Biden and Harris. Can't wait for those ads to come up. All right, so we got to, we have that and there may be some recovery today, there was earlier this morning. Yeah. Yes, right, right, and also finally, we are at a, obviously, very crucial critical point right now in the war between Israel and on the Gaza Strip and Hamas. But this thing is escalate. Every voice out there says, don't escalate it, and it seems to be everyone's running right through those stop signs. Well, look, you've got Joe Biden with Israel under attack, with Israel having just had 12 people, although they were not actually Jews, they were Arabic, Druze, D-R-U-Z-E, Israel by a Hezbollah rocket, and Israel justifiably taking at three bad guys in that space of about 36 hours, everybody expects Iran to attack. And what does Joe Biden do when Israel is under attack? He left to be known that he told Netanyahu to cut out the bull blank. Why is this idiot president sending a signal of lack of support to Israel at the same time that Israel is expecting a massive attack from Iran? It's inexcusable, it's unconscionable. So as we sit here, we're just kind of waiting for the other shoot to drop. Is that essentially where we're at right now, Quinn? I mean, what could Iran's move forward? Well, here's the interesting thing. You know, to fly over some other countries, airspace on a military mission, you've got to get their permission, or at least you're supposed to get their permission. I read a story yesterday where Saudi Arabia and a couple of other Arab nations denied Iran the use of their airspace, which says something good about the strength of the Abraham accords, where Israel has accords with some of these other Arab nations now. But it also means that it makes it that much harder for Iran to be successful. And that's probably why it's taking Iran so long as they're trying to figure out how do they get to Israel without getting all the other Arab nations against them? Yeah, but maybe they requested that and it was denied, correct? Yeah, that's what the story is. Yeah, yeah. Quinn, if people want to, you know, catch up on Quinn Hillier every day and read your work and read your knowledge. You can Google Quinn Hillier and Washington Examiner, but also about once a week I update Quinn Hillier dot com, and that includes stuff that I write that doesn't necessarily have my name on it. So anyway, that's the best way you can subscribe at Quinn Hillier dot com. And how about the book? The book is the accidental profit. It's satire on modern media politics and religion all at the same time. It's a novel. Sounds good, man. Thank you for being here today. And we will talk next Tuesday, maybe. Commer conditions. Who knows? That would be great. Thanks. Hi, man. Quinn Hillier, Quinn Hillier dot com in the Washington Examiner, Dan, and hey, Leanna. Hey. There she is. Oh, there she is. There I am. There she is. Scott Tindall is going to join us here in just a moment. It is 830 FM talk, one of six, five and Mobile Monix. All right. It's a good morning. Good morning. Good morning, right there. All right. Some of the more interesting people along the Gulf Coast is my friend Scott Tindall. We're going to get into what's going on in the markets, including, well, crypto is not a market or is it? Yeah, we consider it the crypto market, sure. Scott, thanks for coming in. I'm always happy to be here, Dan. Tell them about your show tonight. Tell them about the show overall and what's going to be happening tonight on Beyond the Blockchain. The Tuesday nights at eight o'clock here on one of six, five hosts a show called Beyond the Blockchain and Beyond the Blockchain is about emerging technologies, cryptocurrency blockchain technology and really why that matters to you, right? We're trying to explain to people what's going on, what these technologies are going to do to transform our lives and also at the end, we just want to have a great time. We just have a lot of fun with it. Johnny Gwen co-host with me, a lot of people know Johnny Gwen and we've got another co-host her name's Sierra Catalina. She's out of New Jersey and she's our tech expert. She knows everything about everything and so she's really advanced in the crypto world, right? She's advanced in the technology world. Okay. I'll just crypto, but specifically AI and machine learning as well and so that's a good place to be. Yeah, we learn a lot from her and she adds a lot of value to the show. So it's a lot of fun though and if people have never listened to the show, it's obviously archived on the podcast through 1006.5 and you can go and catch up on some of the episodes and just kind of look and see if anything's interesting too. How long has Johnny been doing it with you now? You know, Johnny's been on the show a little over a year probably. Okay. And Sierra's been with us since the beginning of the year. Okay. So we've kind of built a really good team and I think we vibe pretty well with one another. Talk about your interesting past here in Mobile. When I met you so many years ago, you were at the grounds, but before that you were with McConnell, the listeners of this radio station are familiar with, not the auto dealership people, but the guy that secures ships at sea. Yeah. So I was practicing law and mobile and Jonathan and I had gone to law school together and he called me one day and said, you know, when you think about moving weapons around the world and I said, no, he said, you want to learn it? I said, absolutely. It sounds better than what I'm doing today. And so I went and joined him and I was the one of the very first full time employees to join him and start working on building out that company and he's still doing a great job with it. So I'm really proud of what he's been able to build. Yeah. He's still still still got to go and see his interest in the middle of these right now is going to be through the roof. Yeah. He'd be a great guest for you to tell you about what's going on over there. Yeah. He's in the middle of it. So from there, when I met you, it was when you were the executive at the grounds and you changed the name of the grants, changed the branding and all that. What was the greater Gulf state fair grants? Yeah. So I had left working with McConnell. I'd had a company called Tye Try, which was a show that we, I mean, a company we were able to take on Shark Tank and so we exited out of that. I was looking up, trying to find the next thing to do and somebody said, a friend of mine said, would you be interested in running a non-profit? I said, yeah, that sounds something I would like to do. I like serving the community. I said, what do you have in mind? They said, what about the greater Gulf state fair? And I said, well, I don't know anything about Carney's corn dogs or cattle. And they said, well, did you know anything about moving weapons or winning ties? Yeah. And I said, no. They said, well, just come use those same experiences here and see what we can do. So I was very fortunate to get that job. I was a very non-traditional candidate, which has kind of been a part of my career is stepping into new fields. And I went out there and worked with the board of directors and volunteers and we were able to create something really great and transformed the greater Gulf state fair and what we called the grounds and said, we were going to create the cleanest, most family-friendly event in America. People said, how are you going to do that? I said, well, people haven't been to every event in America. We just have to be the cleanest, most family-friendly event they've ever been to and so then that will count. Yes. And we started taking part of the Disney model on guest experience and incorporating that. And that's where I really found my passion for tourism and hospitality. And that's really my favorite thing to do. I really like technology as well. But now I'm interested in this melding of how does technology enhance the guest experience? How are we going to improve hospitality and tourism through this? Yeah. And you know, you'd like to do it. And if I'm wrong, tell me, but you'd like to do it also through team building. You like the relations on the ground of your team to get something done. Working independently doesn't really fly your kite as much as getting jazzed up about watching people succeed around you, correct? Absolutely. I prefer to be in a team. I prefer. I love the concept of watching a team grow through the ducks, the duck boats. People don't know. I used to own that. Yeah. So let's get to that. I'll let you get into your statement. But we had done a good job at the fair. And I felt like it was time to move on and try something new. And I had a couple of business partners who encouraged me to join them. And so we started Gulf Coast Ducks and started the duck boats at Mobile. And quickly within about a year, we were able to be one of the top 50 attractions in America, according to TripAdvisor. And the way we were able to do that, I tell people is we just use a formula we call grit. And grit is the unique combination of passion and perseverance. But for us, it became an acronym and it's different gratitude, relationships, innovation and teamwork. And so we start with gratitude. We say if we're not appreciative of what we have, we'll never be appreciative of anything we may get in the future. And relationships, because as much as possible business should be relational and not transactional. Definitely. And innovation, because we say, and this comes straight from Disney, creativity is thinking new things, but innovation is actually doing those new things. So we have to go forward and do new things. And the only way you can do that is through a great team with a team that has diversified experience, resources, life backgrounds, because if we were all just alike, we wouldn't need each other. Sure. And so we use that formula and that's how we were able to be successful, you know, everything from running a duck boat to managing Fort Condi for the city to opening a restaurant. And so we feel like that formula can be transferred into just about any business, because everything about gratitude, relationships, innovation and teamwork is transferable. And so that's really our theory. So we were friends when you were at the, we developed this friendship when you were out at the grounds. And then I was, I was privy to what was going on with the duck boats. You're the chairman of the board, we said. I was the chairman of the board of the duck boats, but that was a lifetime pass. That was, that was all tongue in cheek, but when that happened, that was a collaboration with the city and the mayor and, and explain how the duck boats came to be and explain what happened at the end. Yeah. So it was, we had to work closely with the city to get ramps put in, right? There were no ramps. We ourselves put ramps in at the battleship through a partnership with them. And then we partnered with a private business on the east side of the river to put a ramp in, but we had to work with the city to get a ramp put in on the north side of the convention center. And we were able to do it because it was already needed. We were able to work with Colby Cooper, who was chief of the staff, the mayor back then. And identified that there was no access to the river for emergency personnel. And so we were able to partner with the city and the city council to insert a ramp north of the convention center to be used as the ducks could use it when we were operating. But if any time there was an emergency in the river, we would be blocked from using it and mobile fire and rescue or a coast guard would be able to quickly insert into the river. Like if we had another incident up at the bridge, you know, just north of, you know, downtown. Yeah. And the quickest entry point to that was several, several miles outside the mouth of the river. And so that was a partnership that worked greatly for us. And then things were going wonderfully until June of 2018. And there was an accident in Branson, Missouri, where unfortunately, weather capsized a duck boat and over a dozen people drowned. And when that happened, the entire industry was kind of rocked and it just kind of goes to show you that you have to worry about the things you can control and not the things you can't control. We had no control over that incident, but we could control how we would react to it. Right. And so what we did was we worked closely with the coast guard and we're able to, and what I think is very unprecedented, not normal course of business, get the coast guard to release a letter to the press that said that we were compliant, that we did what we're supposed to do, that they check us regularly, that our safety procedures were appropriate. And that really helped us rebound and get our customers to come back and join us and trust us and guess around the country to trust us. And so, you know, that crisis management piece was like learning all the buildings on fire. Right. Yeah. I remember that suddenly you were getting calls from like, good morning America and things like that. And you're like, no, I'm not going to be the face of somebody else's disaster. Right. I'm not speaking on behalf on behalf of the industry. I'll speak on behalf of our company, but I was not going to speak on behalf of the industry. And finally, it was too much to overcome, no. Well, it just was inappropriate for me to speak on, well, in terms of when I wasn't there. Right. But in terms of the entire... Yeah. Eventually, insurance rates skyrocketed. Right. We were not able to renew our insurance. Mm-hmm. And it took several years for that to come back around. But by then kind of the dye was already cast and our supplier, the group in Branson was our supplier for spare parts. And once they could no longer supply spare parts, it makes sense anymore. Yeah. So the thing about Scott is when he's working on one thing, he's actually working on three or four on the side as well. And so I would always drop in at the fairgrounds to say hello, but I was just there to see what your mind was looking at and working on. So finally, now you're an attorney, you're a practicing attorney. But also the world of crypto, do you've immersed yourself in it and now the news from yesterday? What's your reaction as somebody who is a, I would say believer in crypto? Yeah, absolutely. You don't have to believe in crypto, it doesn't care whether you believe in it or not. Right. At the end of the day, cryptocurrency runs on blockchain technology. And blockchain technology is an emerging technology, which is for people that don't know, it's a ledger, which is immutable, right? So we can keep transactions on this ledger and no one can change it. It allows us to do business with people we don't know and still be able to trust them through a consensus mechanism of validating these transactions. All you need to know about Bitcoin is just like Visa authorizes your transaction at the gas station. When people do business in Bitcoin, if I pay you for a service, then the blockchain technology is what's validating our transaction to say whether or not this amount of Bitcoin is in this wallet or isn't another wallet. So Bitcoin is what we call the granddaddy of cryptocurrencies, right? It's the first it exists, but now there's over 2 million different cryptocurrencies and no one can know them all. So I tell people to think of cryptocurrencies like you would a startup evaluate the business. All of these cryptocurrencies, if they're legitimate, you're going to be able to find the founders, you're going to be able to research their backgrounds, you're going to be able to read the white paper, which outlines basically their business plan. And then you're going to be able to look at the support they have, and you should be able to find if they have outside investors. And if they check those boxes for me, then it's something to look at. And so people who are in crypto, we don't get phased by the stock market going up 3% or going down 3%. And I tell people, look back to what we talked about it. If you can't control it, you can't worry about it, right? I have no individual control over what the market's going to do. So why am I going to worry? In fact, if I'm not trying to retire tomorrow, it's largely irrelevant what the price is today. But you know, we look at the crypto market or I look at it and I focus primarily on one sector and we talk about the sector on the show all the time and it's called D-Pen, capital B, little E, capital P, capital I, capital N. And that stands for decentralized physical infrastructure networks. What does that mean? It means that people are building networks of communication or otherwise through a decentralized manner, meaning there's no one point of failure that we saw with CrowdStrike, right? With the CrowdStrike outage, we had one point of failure. And so some of my favorite projects are doing that. And those projects, whether the storm, better than others. And so... For that very reason. For that very reason. So one of my favorites is called HiveMapper and their token is called Honey. And what they're doing is they're building a decentralized competitor to Google Maps. Because if Google Maps is the only one that controls maps... It goes out. What happens if it goes out? Yeah. Right. So... And it starts with S and N's with D, but go ahead. So also, what happens if Google Maps can't get to your area quick enough, right? If you're in a rural area, your map is not getting updated. Maybe once every five years, at best. If you're in an urban area, maybe more than that. But we've seen instances where, because Google Maps has not been updated, people have literally driven over what they thought was going to be a bridge where the bridge no longer existed. Sure. So it's nighttime. So what HiveMapper does is it allows individual people to put a dash cam in their car and that dash cam uploads to the web, to the blockchain where AI takes it and renders it and can give you an updated map every seven days. So their goal is that you have a brand new map every seven days, and the way they're able to do this is through hundreds of thousands of people who are contributing to this network. In just over a year, they've already mapped 22% of all the roads in the world, not just in America, in the world. Wow. And they're just getting started. And so essentially, they are, as a distraction, say, they're guaranteed to be more accurate than Google Maps? 100%. I mean, and they can show you, if they've mapped it, it's more accurate. Yeah. Like I said, the average for Google Maps is three to five years for an urban area like Mobile, New York, maybe more often. But people worry about the pricing on these things. And look, if you just want to stretch back out a year, HiveMapper, the Honey tokens, up 365%. Mm-hmm. Right. So I mean, we don't care if it goes down, like for the week, it's down 6%. Do I care? I don't care that it's down 6% for the week because I know that it's going to continue to grow because it's a product that has value, right? What does Google do about this competitor? What have they done? So far, they've done nothing. They're still small enough that they'll fly on their windshield. Yeah. Yeah. But that will quickly change. Mm-hmm. And, you know, Google obviously would probably try and buy them and shelve them. But I don't think that's a likely scenario here because people who are building this type of technology are contrarians. They're not the ones that are building it just to get them to Google. To sell it to Google. To sell it to Google, right? They may sell out to somebody else. But it's not... Somebody like them. Right. Yeah. And so another one that we talk about a lot is Helium Mobile and the Helium Network. Yes. How am I a little familiar with this? Yeah. And so Helium Mobile is building a decentralized 5G wireless carrier to compete against Sprint, T-Mobile, all these folks. And they're able to do it the same way where individual people are contributing to the network by placing their own nodes or transponders. And they're able to offer wireless telephones or cellular service for just $20 a month. So we're AT&T, the average household is $178, I think. Even T-Mobile is like 50, Helium Mobile is able to do it for 20. Is Ryan Reynolds part of that with what he's doing? Ryan Reynolds has a different company. Okay. This is based out of Canada. It's not decentralized. Okay. Okay. But what Helium Mobile is now doing is they're doing beta testing to offload other carriers data onto their network, which would really spike network usage because at the end of the day, the whole idea is to have the best coverage you can, right? So you take like Helium Mobile, for the week, they're down 22%. Would that scare most people into the stock market? Probably. Sure. They're up 174%. Yeah. So I'm not really worried if I was down 22% on a week, if I'm around 174% for the year. I mean, do the tax and calls fly in every Tuesday? Hey, I'm now a millionaire. Thanks, Scott. No, unfortunately. No. You know, you got to have a million dollars to make a million dollars most of the time. Yeah. But there's other projects out there that are fun to pay attention to. Another one is demo, and what they're doing is they are computerizing all your data from your car, and using that to help you know when you have, is basically like the best way to think about it is, you know, like, what's the service where if you have a wreck, it tracks all that, and you know, you can buy a car and know it hadn't been wrecked and totaled. Yeah. I know what you're talking about. Yes. All your car data, so that when you go to sell your car, the person buying it has every bit of data on this car, and it increases the value of your car. Yeah. It also helps you know when there's something wrong with your car. Like maintenance and things like that. Yeah. Hey, Scott. That's a pretty cool one. Tell everybody again, when the show's on tonight? Show is Tuesday nights at eight live where the only, as far as we know, live radio show about blockchain crypto, but you can also catch it on the podcast and feel it normally has it loaded by like nine o'clock. All right. Thank you so much, Scott. And look forward to tonight. Yeah. Thanks for having me. It's always fun. You got it. Scott Tindall from beyond the blockchain on FM Talk 10065 and a million other things. It's 853. My bad. That was an older traffic report, so 65 is all cleared up now, right? Right. Everything is moving through that area. That's good. All right. Craig Manger is going to be the co-host or the host, I should say, would normally be the Jeff Porshow, but he's not here to speak for himself, so the heck with that. It's the Craig Manger show today, Craig. Good morning. Nice to meet you. It's nice to meet you too. Thank you for having me in. Craig Manger with 1819 News, and let's talk about the guest list today. Well, first up we have our state auditor, Andrew Sorrell coming up. He's part of this organization that I was unfamiliar with. It's a bunch of state financial folks who try to take on issues, especially surrounding DESG, and then we'll have John Wall towards the end, and of course, Joey Clark, my good friend, who I co-host radio with in Montgomery every Friday, he'll be on and we'll be talking about this new VP pick. I'm sure that'll be fun. Where in the state do you live? I live in the Montgomery area. Okay. I say in the Montgomery area, I live off a dirt road, off a dirt road, so you wouldn't know it. He looks like a dirt road sort of guy, doesn't he? I love it. I mean that in the best way. So Craig Manger, now you know the voice. Get ready for the content and the guest, and we look forward to your show, man. Thank you so much. Look forward to doing it. It is 858 on FM Talk 106, right? Thank you, Leanna. You're welcome. I had a great morning. Yeah, we both did, for sure. On the way, Craig Manger in for Jet Four, that's all week, great, Craig. I hope not. Maybe not 859. [MUSIC PLAYING]
