Can A 2nd Year QB Save Tony Elliott's Job?; Richmond at UVA, 6 PM, Saturday, ACCN

FR afternoon guys I'm Jerry Miller thank you kindly for joining us on the last I love seille show in the month of August in the year 2024 man summer absolutely flew by there's a lot we're going to cover on today's program the whole premise of the show is to be the water cooler of conversation we want to relay story lines to you that matter and are tied to Charlottesville almor in Central Virginia we don't care if you guys originate the story lines pass them on to us if we do it and you help steer the ship commentary and content wise we just want to be the water cooler I think today's show embodies um that principle we're going to talk the University of Virginia the influence Bert Ellis and yin's appointments um to the board of visitors are having on Thomas Jefferson's University we saw two critical changes significant changes at UVA school that my dad attended my brother attended that yours truly attended a school that is is the region is absolutely the reach in the University of Virginia from a politics Wise from a from an economy uh standpoint from a social influence standpoint e the board of visitors has suspended the UVA Guide Service um the students that offered tours admissions tours to prospective students and parents alike now those admissions tours will be offered by basically employees of the admissions office and not an independent organization run by students I want to talk about that today obviously we talked about the protest rules have changed dramatically at UVA this tied to the pro Palestine uh brewhaha that happened in may now Frankly Speaking your windows of protest are extremely limited and if you're caught sleeping outside on the grounds of Thomas Jefferson's University you're going to have to deal with Tim Longo and his police force I mean it's as simple as that so I'm going to ask the question what is Bert Ellis going to do next what are the board of visitors going to do next when they meet in September for changes at the most prestigious and prominent University in the Commonwealth of Virginia I want to talk on today's program car data Charlottesville area Association of Realtors how we make our living is not this podcasting Network do we love doing the podcasting absolutely does it keep our businesses top of Mind our real estate business our business brokage business the funding we raise for uh small and medium-sized businesses that are looking to scale yes it does do we get to partner with amazing clients like Mahal on West Main Street if you haven't tried Mahi on West Main Street Johnny oralis and River Hawkins latest creation you're missing one of the best restaurants in the region period the artwork is gorgeous if you have photos you can put on screen now is the good time to to to to weave those in Mahi on West Main Street in the Old World of Beer location has more than 50 parking spots right on site guys TR try it it's exceptional we like working with M we like working with Pro ranata Dr John Shaban his team they're converting the cros location into a sports bar they've moved the Brewing operations to the Shanda Valley and the old skipping rock location where they purchased equipment that's nearly a million dollars in value and now they're doing real estate development in downtown Stanton Dr John shabin this team incredible things happening with the pro ronata brand I am so excited for today's show because it kind of um encompasses what we want with our 12:30 program we want to be today's digital newspaper and if you like the show I very much encourage you to watch it on YouTube we have found the YouTube platform is the most consistent with our software with our internet service provider with our seven cameras and our microphones so subscribe to the YouTube channel and watch there LinkedIn for example is not streaming right now which is IR ating the H double hockey sticks out of me but there's only so much we can control and you do the best you can with what you got every day you're above the mud um I don't often talk sports to lead the show but today's a different kind of day because the 2024 football season launches tomorrow at 6 o'clock when the Richmond Spiders visit Scott Stadium a game that's broadcasted on the um ACC Network depending on where you do your shopping the Richmond Spiders are a heavy Underdog last I checked 18 and 1/2 Point underdogs the week started they were 10o underdogs so the folks that are betting say Virginia is going to win and as a result that line is moving it's moving and it's moved fast over the course of the week I'm going to look right now what the line is it's 19 it's moved even more this is not a football game in a season to take lightly there is so much on the line here folks the head coach will start with him he job whether we want to admit this or not is 100% on the line this year and Tony Elliot's job security the third highest paid employee of the University of Virginia when you in when you factor in all the revenue streams with his contract Tony Elliott excuse me is the second highest paid number one is Tony Bennett number two is Tony Elliott number three is Craig Kent of UVA health and number four is Jim Ryan those are the four top paid UVA employees Bennett Elliott Craig Kat Jim Ryan and you have the second highest paid employee at the University of Virginia that may lose his job if his team does not perform this year and his job security I want you to think about this a man who makes over $4 million a year his job security is tied to a rising second year a 19 or 20y old kid a quarterback and whether or not he can take care of the football think about a career path where your 4 million plus a year job is tied to the performance the consistency the emotional stability and the decision- making of a 19 or 20y old that's pretty much what Tony Elliot has going on right now and this isn't just a traditional season guys this is a season that is critically important for the city of Charlottesville and aloro County hear me out small business owners across the city and across alaro County are screaming to all of us saying we're barely surviving we're barely surviving the debt we acred most of it floating debt during Co and the pandemic is coming due now we overextend it with credit cards we overextend it with lines of credit against our house we overextended by asking every Tom Dick and Harry for money to get us through a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic that was manipulated by politicians for political purposes now the collateral damage is our neighbors our friends our family that are small business owners they're begging us to support them or their survival is is on the cusp of being nil none chapter 11 All She Wrote fat lady has sung so this football team and the home football games that are on the schedule including the one that starts tomorrow at 6:00 against the Richmond Spiders having 60,000 people in attendance versus having what has been over the last two years 25 or 30,000 in attendant may be the difference of survival and death for some of the locally owned brands that we love to support you look at the football schedule I'm going to call it up right now I'm going to give you the home football games and then we'll get to the board of visitors we'll get the housing data we'll get to Laura fer the new chef at beer run you got the Richmond Spiders at home tomorrow then you're at WG Forest you got the Maryland terpens on home and the 14th of September that's two home games you got Boston College the 5th of October at home that's three Louisville home 12th of October that's four North Carolina the 26th of October home that's five SMU home 23rd of November that's six six home games the difference between 60,000 at Scott stadium for a long weekend and 25,000 at Scott stadium for a long weekend is going to have a dramatic impact on the economy in Charlesville now Moro County and the businesses we want to see survive I also want to ask you this question what is it going to be like when 60,000 we hope visit Charlesville for a football game and they walk downtown will those in attendance that are not regulars or locals those of us that live here year round will they walk up and down the eight blocks we call the downtown mall with mouth a gate like my parents did when they visited from North Carolina a couple of weeks ago they stopped halfway through the downtown mall they pulled me aside and said Jerry what's happened to where you work what's happened to where you live what's going on with these folks sleeping outside shaking us down for money how's it gotten to this point What's The Brand and how will it be represented in six games when a boatload of Outsiders come visit Charlesville and get a feel for our community again because when they come it's generally around Sports what are they going to see what are they going to think from a politics standpoint what are they going to think from a social value standpoint what are they going to think of in economy stand it's one thing to have a a skeleton of a hotel for a decade plus sit in hideous fashion right in the middle of the downtown mall it's another thing altogether to play hopscotch with piles of human feces around downtown Charlottesville and that's a very Vivid and graphic sentence I just delivered to you but that's the case so much on the line and a football season that is much more about wins and losses on a grid iron you have a 40-some year old man in his $4 million job on the line this year you have a community that's craving economic support you have a community divided on a political issue TI tied to houselessness and what to do about it and we're not alone with that division it's a storyline that's dividing cities and towns and regions and jurisdictions all over the country but it's very fresh here in our city because it's a problem we're not accustomed to dealing with it's a problem that's been a result of Co and the pandemic didn't have this problem in 2019 not to this magnitude 6 p.m. Richmond Spiders UVA a 19point favorite ACC Network and I'll close on this it's not just the six home football games that drive economic value it's the season in totality when the team does well even on away games when Virginia is not playing at Scott Stadium fans go out to bars and restaurants to watch the team and spend their money when the team struggles they don't do that not nearly with the same momentum well we Judah wiow into the mix on a two shot as we go to our next lower third bard of visitor Bert Ellis we've nickn nicknamed him fondle Razer Blade an Atlanta businessman appointed to the board of Visitors by the governor Glenn yunan now yun's appointments on the board of visitors um are the majority of the board as they just put another four or five on the board in August we saw the protest rules change that was announced this week your window of protesting sure you can protest just do it during daylight hours sure you can protest but you better not use a tent sure you [Music] can Judah is making a point here let's make sure he's got his mic on over there there we go I I think they need to get uh approval for tents and they have to be what go ahead yeah I I want you to protest what's bad about UVA I'm I need you to come to the principal's office and get approval from me first I got beef with what's going on at the University of Virginia but I need you to go to the uh to the to the office and get a uh uh directions and approval written that I'm allowed to do something that says you're doing it Bad No what's no we're talking about tents not yeah we're talking about tents you want to use the the tent get approval first yeah you want to protest something that's bad about UVA and you want to cover yourself from the Sun and the inclement weather go to the office and get approval and get a get a teacher note before you start saying nasty things about us okay they say you can't sleep outside there's certain hours that you can protest in the tour guides the UVA tour guides they suspended them they said you can't do admissions tours anymore where you were offering political rhetoric political commentary and smearing Thomas Jefferson's reputation linking him to rape and racism yeah linking him to slavery as opposed to just Towing the company line and saying Thomas Jefferson was the founder of the University of Virginia two big moves the board of visitors of main what is next and think about the position Jim Ryan is in Jim Ryan the president the collateral damage here in the crossfire Jim Ryan M he is being played like a political Pawn almost a puppet I think he's in a bad position anywhere you want to go on this I'm very curious of your commentary here uh I think uh if we're talking about uh Razer Blade Bert Ellis and what he's going to uh what he's going to start next uh regarding UVA my guess would be that uh he starts a dust up about uh Dei I think that's a very good betat that's the next thing I think that is going to be in his Crossfire I don't know whether it'll be about uh the money spent on it or just about uh it being a waste of University time and resources but um that would be my guess he's going to he's going to come at Dei hard he's the founder co-founder of the Jefferson Council to understand what Bert Ellis wants to do on the board of visitors you have to understand the missions of the Jefferson Council number one it's to promote a culture of civil dialogue the free exchange of competing ideas and intellectual diversity throughout the University number two the preservation of the Thomas Jefferson Legacy and reputation number three the preservation of the appearance of the UVA law as a UNESCO world heritage site and for support and re reinvigorate the honor System he wants the honor System to return to single sanction he wants the lawn not to be a chalkboard or platform for protests instead he wants the lawn to be bor boring consistent and as imagined by the founder of the University as an academic Village I think Judah makes a fantastic point and I was going to make the same the next item of concern or beef or conversation that Bert Ellis and his majority boov is going to be the impact of Dei at the University of Virginia and he's going to try to whittle that impact down like a number two pencils whittel down after using after taking the SATs I say te's Whittle down number two pencil you have to fill in all those bubbles uh yeah sure what what else whittles down a number two pencil like 20-month old kid whenever he uses it and breaks them sharpener what's that a pencil sharpener did you ever play uh that game where you would hold a pencil in between your two hands and your class would try to snap them and break them I vaguely remember that game remember those games yeah I think you're going to see Dei in the crossfire I think you're going to see the lawn have some new rules and regulations because UV it's the students the students don't own those units right they have to apply to live on the lawn and I would not be surprised if part of the application criteria includes language that says nasty crap on your door you can't post protest rhetoric on your boards on your doors or anywhere around your rooms I bet you that happens yeah I wouldn't be surprised I bet you the positioning of Thomas Jefferson from a monument or plaque or history standpoint around the grounds of UVA will become more prolific it's now in the back seat or in the rearview mirror and I would bet you the honor code and the single sanction nature of this honor code is something that's going to come into the conversation in the Forefront again single sanction mean one strike you're out yeah that's how it was okay that's how it was when my dad went there when my brother and I went there what is it now Grace H empathy understanding something to be said for those in uh moderation you say no it's not how Jefferson founded it that's fair there's something to be said about I will not lie cheat or steal yeah is there Grace for lying cheating or stealing I think in some situations possibly what's the grace for lying to I don't know I don't know I'm not saying I'm not giving a specific example I what's the grace for lying cheating or stealing I don't know you may be right specifically this question I've never I've never gone to UVA specifically this question if Grace is offered for lying cheating or stealing what does that do to all the students who matriculated through UVA prior to Grace being permitted I don't know about that argument but uh how do you why do you don't know about that argument you're essentially saying I mean it's the it's the same old argument we we had to walk 10 miles through the snow uphill both ways so you should have to do the same I had to pay my student loans off and I I worked through college so I didn't have any but how many people are making this argument how many people are making this argument we had to pay our student loans off why are you getting student loan forgiveness yeah how many viewers and listeners that are watching the program say what's going on with the student loan forgiveness when everybody else to this point had to pay student loans and how many other people are going to say this you're getting student loan forgiveness you don't have to pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars Back and You're utilizing that for other aspects of your life to move it forward where I had to bust my ass and I'm talking figur be in hypothetically here to pay those loans off and couldn't use it to buy houses or move my life forward you don't see that I I get the arguments comps are comps for a reason it creates consistency there's a reason in Major League Baseball Barry Bonds and Samy Sosa and Mark Maguire are not in the Hall of Fame Jose cono because they Juiced up steroids if these guys go to the plate and they Spike their arm with HGH or steroids of course they're going to hit the ball farther does that put them on an even playing field as Willie Mays does that put them on an even playing field as Larry Chipper Jones does that put them on an even playing field of Frank Robinson all wonderful arguments CS utilizing a consistent or even playing field across the board I don't raise my kids differently my oldest who's six has the same rules that my 21-month-old has does my 21-month-old have a hard time understanding them yes he's 21 months old but if I allowed my 21-month-old to have Liberties like candy before bed and didn't give it to my six-year-old we would have World War III and Ivy I believe it CS even playing field before we get off this topic we both think it's going to be Dei and language in the applications if you want to live on the lawn no longer can be a protest vehicle or protest platform we think that Thomas Jefferson is going to be returned to Providence at the University and this honor code and the single sanction nature of it is going to become a topic of conversation let's see how it plays out what we saw happen this week was the protest rules got completely changed and the rules and regulations became much more stringent MH and we also saw that admissions tours were suspended yeah those are two big changes after one meeting MH one meeting that happened the next one's in September all right next headline Judah wiow City attorney seille City attorney attorney in even more hot water yeah we got a City attorney that's on paid leave right now and I got to give Charlottesville tomorrow some props again I I find on a weekly basis that I'm giving props to Charlottesville tomorrow on hard news reporting I want to encourage the nonprofit news site Charlottesville tomorrow to continue its reporting of tangible and hard news the comings and goings and the happenings in City Hall and and the intersection of government the economy policy housing and nonprofits you guys are doing a bang up job have you not noticed that Charlesville tomorrow's coverage has pivoted from what was during the Giles Morris tenure all diversity equity and inclusion coverage or just about all of it to now hard news reporting oh yeah they're digging they're digging for uh for information on whatever they whatever it is that they're reporting on strikes their fancy and I love it and they're thorough uh they sometimes they're reporting on stories that I I feel it's almost over reported well no I was going to say sometimes I feel like they're uh digging into things and they'll have an article that I feel is missing something but I think it's because they're still pursuing the story and they're not afraid to uh to get it out there before they're before for the um all the information is in and uh and as we've seen they follow up regularly and uh and the follow-ups are always uh well well done they've pivot they're like hound dogs they're effing hound dogs they've pivoted their model yeah they've pivoted a model to hard news coverage seille tomorrow damn good job mhm set the who what when we why of their coverage it was released today on the City attorney and his brewhaha his dust up his drama drama drama as it applies to Chesapeake and the mayor of Chesapeake this ain't a good situation for a guy that currently is on paid leave with the Charlottesville jurisdiction uh it's you disagree with that all right first we got to set the stage for the viewers and listeners that may not have seen the article go who what when were why you're getting better at Judah let's see if you can execute so more information has come out about uh Charlottesville City attorney strowman and the fact that he used to be the uh the City attorney for Chesapeake uh apparently he was asked by the mayor to help out with a problem the mayor's brother was having step brother step step brother in a different state yeah in Georgia nun Georgia I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right but a city in Georgia his step brother lived in a city in Georgia keep going be succinct uh here's where we may differ on opinion it doesn't look like he did much more than than contact somebody in the Georgia government and basically did a little talking to the person and got I think it was a uh uh something to do with the the sewer SE septic yeah and got something put through the mayor Chesapeake yeah strowman the City attorney of Chesapeake the mayor of Chesapeake went to the City attorney of Chesapeake strowman who is now the City attorney on in the city of Charlottesville he's on paid leave we don't know why he's on paid leave the city hasn't told us right and it doesn't have anything to do with the the uh Chesapeake SL Georgia thing the mayor said dude I need your help MH my step brother's got issues with septic my step brother emailed me and said I don't want to waste any more money I'm spending thousands of dollars trying to get to the bottom of this septic issue in Georgia help me out the mayor Chesapeake sends an email why these dudes do this via email is just not Savvy sends an email to the mayor to the City attorney and says hey dude help my brother out I want you to do this on taxpayer time and I want you to see if you can recruit anybody else in the Chesapeake City Hall to help this problem help me my step brother out with this problem strowman little dial called Georgia did little digging looked in code figured out a path of attack when it came to the mayor step brother septic system asked one of the Deputy city managers for some help too and then gave the mayor a path of attack for him to pass along to his brother his stepbrother I don't even know if it went that far how to optimize the scenario in the situation sounds like it was a lot simpler than that you can't do that it sounds like he made a phone call right here strowman wrote this in an email to Mayor West we had a conversation with an official in the Georgia Department of Health we shared with him our experience that in Virginia a local ordinance imposing a moratorium on new septic or alternative on-site systems when sewer was not available would be preempted overruled by state law I suspect that is what did the trick does that sound like he spent days working on this project the mayor used taxpayer resources for the benefit of a family member who lives in a different state yeah right sure the perception of the storyline smells and stinks okay is it illegal probably not is it gray area absolutely is it creating a stink for the mayor most definitely and is it creating a stink for a man who's on sus who's on paid leave for a issue we don't know about this clouds the paid leave scenaria further clouds it does it not yeah definitely do you think he's going to do this again or do you think he's going to say uh mayor Juan Diego Wade I don't think I should be this do you think Wan Diego Wade is going to come to him I don't think Wan Diego Wade would ever ask him to do this I don't think so either I I don't think I think mayor Wan Diego Wade is is I don't think anyone on the an extremely ethical person I don't think there's a single person on Council that would ask him to do anything personal yeah agreed and we can make the argument that the mayor put strowman in a bad spot because it's the mayor and then strowman may say hey I'm just doing what the mayor's telling me to do he could also say I didn't do much more than call someone and say hey uh This is how we do it here uh look at what you're denying dude you have counselors in Chesapeake that are asking the Commonwealth Attorneys Office to conduct an independent investigation into this yeah you have counselors in Chesapeake that are calling for the mayor to resign yeah and others to probe the incident the Virginia pilot has made this front page headlines the paper that covers Chesapeake and the beach area the Hampton Roads area this smells and it smells of back room dealing okay and it smells at a time where the man can't afford stink because he's on paid leave for something we don't know about this article also talks about the fact that while he was still in Chesapeake he was fighting for more transparency he I'll I'll add some color to that the city councilors in Chesapeake denied information in a Freedom of Information Act request it was a planning commissioner in Chesapeake that was behind the Freedom of Information Act request and the city councilors would not provide the Foya content that the Chesapeake planning commissioner wanted and his freedom of act request and strowman the City attorney said you need to do this because if you don't you're going to get sued potentially if this guy pursues a lawsuit and you will lose lose and you will probably lose yep they quote the man who just walked by the hallway who I think could be walking down Market Street here in this seille tomorrow article not that man I was going to put him on screen but maybe they went the other way they quote councelor Lloyd snook as saying what strowman did is part of the reason we hired him it's part of the reason we hired him because he pushed council members to follow he wasn't afraid to go against them to do it the right way he said that wasn't a disqualification that was a qualification for us but he also highlighted that we had no idea about this I scratch your back you scratch my back stepbrother mayor septic Georgia storyline was there a uh reciprocation you do a good deed for your boss your boss is more likely to do a good deed for you it's called human nature that's a lot of speculation there that's not speculation that's human nature I get I get the guy I get the gentleman that uh the I have a I have a Contracting crew we have a little team that works for us and the properties that we own I suggest him to friends of mine that also own real estate including one of them that's watching this program right now Seth lisy said this guy does great work he's priced well he's efficient he's timely I make suggestions to him he hires him my guy's thankful future work he needs future work I need thank you thank you for helping me get more work Jerry maybe I can help you with these projects you have by doing them in more timely fashion more efficient fashion better price point it's just called business it's business regardless we'll close this topic with this it's not a good look you have to give me that yeah I'll give you that especially since he's on paid leaf and we don't know what for and we don't know what for here's all show I think I think I think the the most important thing out of this we haven't even touched it is is why hasn't the city told us what he's on paid leave for no you don't think that's you don't want to know I'm curious obviously but uh I I think the most important part of this is that he's been getting paid for how long a long ass time while we're hiring a uh uh another Law Firm to be the inim City attorney that's what I care a lot more than about uh him calling someone in Georgia and helping out the mayor's step brother uh unless that turned out to be you know like some big pay for playay type thing which I don't think it is it's just a mess that it is it's a mess because I can assure you the Virginia pilot coverage mhm that broke this news has now got in its newspapers and on its website that he's the City attorney here and that he's on PID leave yeah that's just basic reporting mhm so it do make Charlesville look good you give me that yeah especially if they've been paying him for what over 100 days and this dude ain't making chicken liver you're talking about a guy that's probably flirting with two bills in total compensation 200y in total compensation I wouldn't mind a 3mon vacation paid what's your next topic today oh Chef fer Laura fer yeah what you make of the beer run use with Laura fer I think uh I think they uh made out like bandis who's they beeron Josh and John yeah all right you go first on this Lura fer I believe Laura's watching the program right now Lowa third on screen I mean lf's the new chef at beerun previously the chef at common house yeah previously uh you know started their own business sadly with the wrong part business partner own operated and was The Culinary genius behind siren and the old shabin location she unfortunately was linked to the crumbling Hunter Smith Empire and the uh poorly managed finances associated with that Empire I'm not going to make this about Hunter Smith no um previously the executive chef at duner's restaurant duner's restaurant now owned by Christian Kelly and Jen Kelly we just moved to that side of town right around the corner had fabulous meals at duners duners is as consistent as ever she was almost the owner she was in line to be the owner and shaat doers if the uh the pandemic hadn't uh brought our economy to a scree pandemic brings the economy to a screeching halt the transition can happen to Laura Laura has to leave duners leaves duners because she potentially can't be owner had Chef leaves duners because duners had a close for a little bit she's got to make a living she's a hardworking ler lady she's the bread winner she's got kids y goes dumpling food truck mhm worked at some of Hunter restaurants including Champion Grill in Stonefield then goes out on her own thinking she has great uh infrastructure in place with the champion Hospitality Group open siren and the old shabine location House of Cards finally crumbles bills were not being paid not a fault of her own no she goes from there she's link with JR Hadley uh in Sky Bar the old Sky Bar location that is still shuttered has not open does not follow through the sky bar spot goes to common house instead we didn't think it was going to last long at common house it's a private setting it's bougie not open to the public a private club yeah her Cuisine is all about approachability and the public the Common Man the common woman home cooking soul food and I'm not sure where you'll find more uh more of that than at uh Beer Run damn good stoner food she makes I think her food's amazing and she's at beer run now as Judah said I don't think you're going to that place in bodies soul food food for the everyday person well I personally hope that she's found a home there and uh and the she and beerun will enjoy a uh a very successful partnership for years to come years to come I mean you know as long as she's happy there you know I don't want to tie down but uh um her Pursuit of Happiness is one that I admire she highlighted on social media it's that pursuit of Happ happiness and living life to the fullest that is a uh foundation for her decision-making yeah you find it unique that it's a restaurant like beer run or someone that is an extremely talented Chef has landed I don't know I mean I lacking knowledge in why she made the move move uh it could be like you said that uh that common house just wasn't uh wasn't open enough for her was to uh I mean in a lot of ways common house is the the antithesis of the Laura foner brand that I know yeah and that and beer run is much more accessible um even duners when she was doing duners duners is the definition it's higher price point it's higher price point it ain't cheap but it's approachable yeah it's a converted house mhm it's far from bougie yeah the beer run menu nachos hummus chicken wings perogies biscuit and pimento soups salads Burgers sandwiches Cuban sandwiches shrimp and grins catfish the highest priced entree on the beer run menu what do you think that number is if I put the over under at $20 would you take it under under or over for the highest price entree currently on the beer run menu oh man um that's a tough one CU I know prices have gone up across the board in restaurants lately uh I'm still going to I'm I'm going to I go under you won the betat chicken pot pie $18.50 the top priced item on the beer menu Beer Run menu is $18.50 and it's a chicken pot pie with the Bowes and second place at 18 bones this is beer runs gain yeah I can see them doing uh daily specials I think that's absolutely Honor's daily specials uh because there's no reason I mean you know uh the restaurants got got to have uh uh stuff in place so that uh their food is consistent no matter who's cooking they certainly don't need her to like you said make uh make nachos or uh or a bon me sandwich um but I could see them I could see them drawing a lot of people for uh for say faers daily specials I think the faer daily special is going to be reality I also want to highlight this the open nature of beer Run's kitchen is an opportunity for Laura to further build her personal brand M you as chef at beer run can interact with your clientele they will see you you'll be face to face and it's not just going to be with diners but it's going to be the retail customers as well I think this is a tremendous score and I'm curious if this is also going to her pres going to be parlayed into the Cardinal Hall menu as well the sister restaurant Beer Run once established and set up at beer run will she also offer her expertise and talents at Cardinal hole in some capacity very curious of that yeah I think this is a huge score for Josh and John no doubt if I put the over under of 24 months that Laura is the Chef at Beer Run would you take the over or under uh that's not fair I i' think I'd take the under you'd take the under on 24 months so would I I take the under on 24 months to the last topic of the show I believe is oh we have two more topics put the car data on screen this was from Real Talk from Kei Smith this morning I'm going to spend 90 seconds on this let us know when the graph is on [Applause] screen we're going to put the first eight months of units sold and price point for those units sold in 2024 across the charlotesville area Association realtor footprint and we're going to compare the first eight months of 2024 look at the screen look at the screen look at the screen look at the screen to the8 months the first8 months of 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 the first thing you'll notice Judah the first eight months of this year and keep the graph on screen the first eight months of this year the Top Line the orange line so shows that we have had 254 houses sold and this is all types of Home including new construction condos Town H home single family detach new construction 254 units sold in the first8 months this year no other year from 2016 until this year has there been less units sold than 2024 the only one that could possibly compare is last year where through the first eight months of the year there were 2, 205 units sold that is a difference it was the previous lowest that was a difference which was the previous lowest right exactly it shows you that no inventory is coming on the market the inventory is not coming on the market for a number of reasons the first reason is the lock and effect of people securing 2.5 and 3% loans during Co and they don't want to give them up yeah the second reason is the red tape associated with new construction new construction the red tape in government the cost of goods the cost of Labor is keeping new units from coming on the market hell the political pressure the social pressure from taxpayers say we don't want more construction is keeping units from coming on the market the new zoning ordinance through the first 8 months of the year is done diddly in the city of Charlottesville diddly MH now look at the bottom line the bottom line is price point the highest median sales price from 2016 to now $480,000 median sales pric car footprint I mean that's the highest ever right highest ever I don't I don't and you know if you pulled out the city of charlotsville nowor County it would be even higher than that yeah because that number gets pulled down some by fuana Louisa Buckingham Green City of Charlton alar County is well over five bills yeah so you have the lowest amount of units through the first eight months of the year and the highest price point through the first eight months of the year mhm that is compelling data right there yeah anything you want to add to this I mean it would be nice if uh I don't know about the other uh the other locations but uh it would be nice if Charlottesville could maybe focus on making it easier for building to happen you don't think so I I want to see the localities prioritize infrastructure before they prioritize building well that too I want to see the localities prioritize getting kids to school in time and having enough bus drivers and making sure our roads are safe making sure kids are not learning in trailers and have teacher to student ratios that are not 24 or 25 to1 I want to see police forces full I want to see the infrastructure that's used to support the House's population improved because we have a epidemic on our hands in the city of Charlottesville and it's worsening this house houseless crisis is worsening MH I don't I've seen in 2024 alone I would put it between 15 times people spiking their Arms shooting up heroin literally in public during broad daylight damn 15 times alone I've seen in 2024 that's probably a conservative number of a houseless person spiking their arm and shooting H okay it's one thing seeing it yourself it's another thing seeing it when your kids are with you and you got a precocious and inquisitive and and quick to notice six-year-old wondering what the hell's going on and then you got to think on your feet what how you're going to answer that how do you answer that Dad what's that guy doing with his arm and putting in his arm what what is he doing over there drugs are bad how do you answer that to a suur seriously it's not in the parent Playbook how do I answer that that question sometimes honesty is the best policy oh son he's shooting white china into his arm and that's why he's diing down his leg and has peed his pants that's what you want me to tell him honesty is the best policy that's not honesty that's what you just told me honesty is the white polic the best policy that's white china son that's embellishment he's chasing the dragon son that's what you want me to tell him come on I ain't going to tell him that I say let's try to change the subject well I hope you don't do that throughout your child's uh tenure in your house I I'm going to do it when he's six what do you want me to what what should I tell him I tell them that's drugs and uh if you don't want to end up looking like that you want me to tell my six-year-old that don't do drugs he's shooting at 1:30 on 1:30 in the afternoon on Third Street I'm not going to do that all right well then I don't know why you're asking my advice I'm I'm not going to do that said I don't know son but did you look at that building over there looks pretty cool how do you think they build that roof that tall look a bird no it's a plane I'm not going to tell him that and another thing some kids are sensitive I probably one of the least sensitive people you'll meet viewers and list how I was having this conversation with one of the viewers and listeners some a lot of people and it's not just kids a lot of people get very like uh hurt or feel the pain or sensitive or are impacted by what they see my wife is like that okay like concern worry and you don't want your kids to have those feelings early in life but they're going to have them anyway I know they're going to have them anyway but part of aren't contingent on your explanation of matters part of your job as parents is to shelter your kids from circumstances that may impact them negatively and you're not going to be able to do that forever but there's time and place for them to have these feelings and these interactions and that time in place is probably not first grade okay I don't know I'm just a guy that's trying to make it to bedtime with two wild animals that live in our house and I'm not talking about Max the German Shepherd walk around on two legs they know one speed and it's a th000 miles an hour last topic Maybe maybe it's tied to this one right here 69% of parents who have kids aged 13 to 17 say growing up today is harder than it was in 2024 according to a Pew Research Center survey I believe it 44% of the kids between age 13 and 17 say the same that's startling 69% of parents who have teenagers said being a teen today is more difficult than when they were a teen themselves the the funny the funny thing about this is that I thought they were talking about oh you know a long time ago and then I get to the part where they say a whopping a whopping 69% of parents who have kids ages 13 to 17 say growing up is harder today than it was in 2004 yeah we're old I'm like oh 2004 we old dude it's changed a lot more than than just in the last 20 years but yeah uh I I believe it it's uh there it's got to be very a very very different uh landscape than it was when when we were kids and even when you know people were kids we're back as parents and we're going to say this good Lord we gave pre-teens and toddlers and our kids and our teenagers a computer that allow them to watch anything they wanted interact with complete strangers share pictures of themselves and skimpy clothes and bathing suits or with no clothes on at all despite best evidence that the people that created the apps that were all on do not allow their kids near them exactly I mean the people that created the apps don't allow their kids to use them but we as parents are going to let our kids use our iPads our phones use the apps share pictures of themselves sometimes without any clothes at all on at all look at pictures of other kids that have filters on the pictures to make them look beautiful and not like they actually are in real life and we're going to Hope and cross our fingers and pray that this is not going to negatively impact our kids right there ladies and gentlemen there it is good God and if you're a parent and you don't give your kid the phone or the iPad or let them have Snapchat or Tik Tok or Instagram you're a terrible terrible terrible terrible person in the eyes of your kids haven't kids been saying that about their parents since the uh since the the beginning of kids and parents yeah but Mad Magazine is a hell of a lot different than Tik Tock uh no no doubt but the fresh prince of Belair is a hell of a lot different than Snapchat but the fact of the matter is The Simpsons and Family gu parents throughout history have had to decide what to allow and what not to allow and saying that things are different now and it's a phone and everybody else has them is uh Mad Magazine AOL and instant messenger didn't cause addiction issues that's even that's an even stronger reason to not allow them to guilt trip you into giving them a phone or an iPad or allowing them to sit and stare at a screen of any sort for you know half the day absolutely 100% agree with you someone marry this guy over there so he can bang out some binos please he's single and ready to mingle ladies and gentlemen that was well put I think you'd make a great parent but it ain't easy Parenthood the best hardest thing ever and the longest shortest thing ever that's how I describe Parenthood to people the best hardest thing ever and the longest shortest thing ever and I got this advice from my buddy Connecticut Dave he said crackheads have
