1:05Yes, my house. With love from your eye-heart media family and a beautiful basket of all little things for my daughter's newborn baby son. Oh, that's so nice. Well, elephant flowers air. Beautiful. Thanks, eye-heart. Love my eye-heart media family. How's he doing? He's doing great. Does he walk yet? Doesn't walk yet. I confiscated him yesterday for a little bit. Yeah. My daughter just got home from the hospital yesterday. Oh, she's home. Yeah. Oh, cool. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. You know, she's getting, she's navigating around after that big. Yeah. That was a more deal. Yeah. So you want her house to see the baby. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I need to bring her some stuff and you're going to watch the entire of all things like that. Did you, did you happen to mention to us off the air? You were thinking about keeping that baby? Yeah. I said I might get it. Picking that baby. Did you say something about a new baby?

2:06A new, you know why? Because they sleep. Well, yeah. I mean, he's not, he's just sweet and and smells yummy and is so cozy and his little outfits and fits so perfectly. Yeah. Yeah. I'm surprised Janky Candle hasn't figured out a way to make that smell. Fresh baby. New babies. I think that we're all right. I don't know. It's a good smell. Yeah. So yeah, that was very nice. So thank you for that. I'm sure Colleen and everybody and Jamey and all the people that work there and I heart thank you all so much. If you realize that it's costing more money to gas up. It's beyond that though. It's beyond more money. It's insanity. I mean, we just heard on the news today that gas went up 11 cents since yesterday. I never know what gas costs ever, never have, never, never, never. I don't pay attention to what it is per gallon. You must notice though, when your pit fill out, that it costs more than before. I noticed that sometimes it's $38, sometimes it's $44. It's all, I never, but I don't think about it. I'm like, whatever it is, it is. And like the fact that I'm not

3:09only noticing, but gasping, like like $57. I was like $80. Like in the same car when it's normally 38. What? Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. So and then I got an email yesterday, Fox two from a viewer who said, you're misleading people by saying that this is the, this is because of the war, you're forgetting about the 50 cents tax. Was it? What was the 50s? The tax from the state of Michigan on the gas. But so yes, I guess the gas tax in Michigan went up. But they also got rid of the 6%. So maybe it was like 50. I don't know. But in other words, it all meant it all meant from the state of Michigan. Yes, the gas has gone up with it like like three or four cents a gallon. But the bigger jumps are happening because, yeah, because like we said earlier on the show, there's just oils not getting through.

4:10Right. We'll be like this forever. I hope not. You know, you hope not. I hope to sell gets resolved at some point. And we need someone like Billy Bob Thornton and Landman to just come through. That's what this world needs. Landman was real. I know. Billy Bob. He like it has to be kind of to a certain extent. So here's a couple of things you can do to keep the gas prices a little lower or guess maybe to stretch the gas a little bit. Okay. I don't know how many, I don't know how realistic they are. Don't do extra things. Well, like don't go faster than 65. Like you will cause an accident on 75 if you're going under 65. Right. Just stay in, you can do it. But just stay in the snow. But do it in the slow lane. That's all. Yeah. You can, you can drive 65. Apparently cars are more efficient at that speed. Use cruise control more. I do like the cruise control. I have super cruise on my car. You don't use it ever. I always on the expressway. Yeah. Really. I get pulled over a lot. It's a good, it's a good, it's a good conscience. No, I need to use it. If you see a red light ahead, ease off the gas early in coast for a while. Don't just keep,

5:15don't, don't play chicken. Never play chicken where you're like, I'm going to keep going because it's going to turn green. I know it's going to turn green. It didn't turn green stop. Hey, does your list have that thing? Is this real? Do we tailgate semi's and ride on their fumes? All of your driving rules really concern me. Have you ever heard that? No, we've heard that. Make sure your tire pressure is correct. Under inflated tires will use more gas. My tire pressure light went off that day that it was super cold. It hasn't gone back on. I remember a couple weeks ago. I was like, this is insane. The car is driving terrible. I don't understand why and why am I going through so much gas? I had it in four-wheel drive for like a week. Oh, that's the worst to find out though. You guys will literally just take a stack of money and light it on fire when you use four-wheel drive. Yeah. Reduce your car's drag by removing roof racks and bike racks. Allyson, the slicker and more aerodynamic the car, the better it'll be at the pump. Consider camp. No, consider carpooling.

6:18Consider carpooling. But also consider camp. And consider camping. I would just think that like not having to go extra places would be smart. You know, be very mindful of like where you're going. You're only required to go to one place. Just go to there. Right.
