Big day yesterday, big day because Artemis too launched after a couple delays. That was times it was probably right around 6.35, 6.40ish yesterday afternoon. Right. And. Oh, it was that late. Yeah. Because it was supposed to be like 4.45 and then they did a hold that it was there was some kind of one of those things weren't registering properly, I don't know. But it was fine. Oh, three, two, one, booster ignition and liftoff. The crew of Artemis too, now bound for the moon, humanity's next great voyage begins. That's always such a nice thing they do after the liftoff, they always have a little tag line. Yeah. Can I request something though? Yeah. That guy did nothing wrong. But I would like someone with a little more passion, a little more, whether it's like a soccer announcer. You know how like, yeah, any sports commentator is really into it. It's all business. I know. I got people's lives at stake here on a big, these rockets, well, then can we get someone

like Morgan Freeman who would like, I don't know, be able to announce it and have a lot of passion. Thousands of people line the streets to cheer the four person play crew of the Artemis too. That poor fourth person that we did, we were like lady, first black astronaut, Canadian astronaut and the other guy. Sorry. The successful launch, they accelerated to 17,000 miles per hour. It is a 10 day trip that will lay the groundwork for landing astronauts on the moon to build a lunar base by the end of the decade. So, yes. I thought they came back home. I thought they went around it and they did, they did, they're testing this thing out. They're going to do a little circle around the moon, come back, report their findings. And then the next mission will be landing back on the moon, starting the, they want to build a base on the moon and make sure we can live there and do all that. Yeah. So, that way we're ready to go to Mars. In our lifetime, we will see Americans on Mars. We will. And I'm telling you, when that happens, that'll be big.

It's going to take him six months to get there. I thought you were going to say, I'll be there. Oh, I will be in a rocking chair watching. Does Mars still need women? You know, they may. Better from Mars, wouldn't know it's a song. Okay. It's a song that he knows. Well, I'm glad that you got a real kick out of that. I couldn't even get it out. It's so stupid and I cracked myself up. There's no better cracking up than cracking yourself up. I live by that every day. Couple other headlines here this morning. There's a new Chick-fil-A opening in Lincoln Park, just as big as the launch. Oh, boy. The Chick-fil-A opens today Southfield Road, bringing about 120 jobs bonus if you show up. My God, can we get a Chick-fil-A in Southland? Did I tell you guys what I think is coming to Southland? Sorry. If you show up in the cow print outfit, you'll score free a free-on tray. Why? It's not a cow themed restaurant. That's their mascot. Yeah.

Their mascot is. Okay. Chick-fil-A's mascot is a cow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But not a chicken. No. I swear. Yeah. I'm pretty sure. Can I understand why? Why don't you look it up? No, I don't know. Now you're making me second-guess myself. All right. Well, also, I'll do that on my own time. Why would they offer that? I think it's probably because the cow was for the, you know, they're not, they don't do it. Because they don't eat it. Right. Oh, like that. What did you find? It's a cow campaign. It's a cow campaign. Okay. Well, that's cool. Yeah. Sorry, Chick-fil-A. What was your breaking news now? Southline's getting a Duncan. It's about time. I know. I'm pretty pumped about that, but I would like a Chick-fil-A or a Panera or a Chipotle. So that's kind of a big deal. I mean, keep that in mouthlines, like five streets. What am I in a dying part of town? You get a sheets. You get a Duncan. I got nothing new by me. Nothing. They tore down a right aid and then now it's just a hole. We got a Chick-fil-A too. God. Man, in that operation, I don't know how all Chick-fil-A's are run. I don't know anything about what Chick-fil-A does.

I've never, except for that one time, you share some tenders. I don't know what they do. I've been in there a few times. Yeah. Boy, their operation that they run is like, they put flowers on the table in little bases, not real, but plastic. It's cute. But I do want to know, like, what is the model? How do you get high school students? Because a lot of them are high school age. How do you get them to be nice, fast? They must be efficient, show up to work, because so many other businesses are struggling with that. Yeah, and they have old people that work there. Really? Yeah, yeah. People doing stuff, they have a faction that runs your orders just out to your car. That's their job. It's like, yeah, it's really, so I can get my steps in, yeah, yeah. I can just take out people's orders, make a little more money. Hey, Tars, rely on the air, so watch what you say. Just talking to Allison and Chelsea, do we know how much per hour, like, does a Chick-fil-A chart, how much is Chick-fil-A pay per hour, because the team there is unbelievable.

I come on, put a lot of real time data on air, but generally speaking, Chick-fil-A wages depend on location and role. In recent years, starting pay often ranges from around 12 to $15 an hour for team members with leadership roles earning more. I'd say it's less about the hourly rate and more about how they make that chicken sandwich taste like a hug. It does taste like a hug. Okay, I'm still into you. What? Yeah. And also, why did you have to tell him to, does he swear a lot when you're talking? You had to tell him to watch? No, but sometimes he'll open up with what we last talked about, which was like, so looking at you 401k, it's pretty embarrassing. I'm like, okay, well thanks. As I have to preface it, it's like when you answer the phone on speaker and there's somebody in the car with me. Oh, God. That's always the worst. Yeah, before you get yelled at. If they don't hear you. Yeah.
