All right. Thank you for that DJ chump car. Yeah, that was the TomTom club with genius and love, man. What a tuna. Wake up everybody this morning. What do you think of that, Jennifer?


Unknown Speaker 6:18

I love tom tom club. That was really nice. DJ. Yeah, DJ


Speaker 1 6:22

Shymko came up with that. And we appreciate that. Thank you for tuning in to ask the neighbor. This is our second week. It's March the 11th. Getting closer and closer to spring every day, folks. Thank you for tuning in to 690 am. I'm your host Danko. Souter offski. Good to see everybody good to hear everybody is doing okay. It's a little cloudy out there. But we're looking for callers today. And the number to call in is 248557 3300. The program is asked the neighbor and we are here fielding questions giving advice talking to different folks, yesterday was a pretty cool show, we had Dr. Beiter, on our show, discussing the different tapping mechanisms, methods that you could use to kind of calm yourself and help you with your anxiety. What do you think of that, Jennifer?


Unknown Speaker 7:19

I love that. And it was so timely. I mean, it's just for so many reasons. And he'd just what a lovely man had such a common delivery, just the way he speaks was just really engaging and students.


Speaker 1 7:35

Yeah, really talented fellow. He's created this project, and he works with education, education facilities, schools trying to implement this program, trying to help the students. Because if you really if you think about how a student's day begins, right, it can be tough from the day before they had issues at home, and then their whole day kind of goes off. But if you can center by using that tactic, I think everybody will treat each other nicer in school. Yeah, you know,


Unknown Speaker 8:11

yeah. Or even to do it just at home on a small scale. Like I'd like to. I don't, I wouldn't like to I'm going to implement this with my kiddos. I've got a high schooler and a middle schooler. So not exactly, necessarily prime age ranges for what does what is mom's touchy feely experiment of the day. There used to there used to be coming up with wacky like they call them my tree has ideas. Yeah. And I'm happy to be at the tree hugger and start to tap in?


Speaker 1 8:44

Well, I think it's, there's really proven statistics to it. I mean, you know, this is a method. And I think there's other other psychological type of tactics that you can use that are related to this type of tapping method, like NLP. And I'm not any kind of an expert on these things. These are just some things that I've heard or seen through the years. But even if anybody wanted to check into something a little bit deeper, it's called NLP, which is kind of a different whole different perspective on how to go about things and value and evaluate things ever hear of NLP, Jennifer?


Unknown Speaker 9:23

No. Neuro tell us a little bit teensy bit about it.


Speaker 1 9:27

Neuro Linguistic Programming is a field and I want to check it out just a little bit here so I don't misspeak. But yeah, it's a way that you can use your your words and motions of your hand sometimes in different ways to reinforce ideas that you want to implement in your life. Neuro Linguistic Programming is a pseudo scientific approach. to communication, personal development and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler, and John Grinder in California, of all places in the 1970s, Jennifer


Unknown Speaker 10:13

so I'm thinking Pavlov, and the dogs as perhaps a precursor to your pseudoscience of NLP,


Speaker 1 10:21

something like that. What is NLP therapy? Real science? Well, what is NLP therapy used for? They say practitioners have applied NLP commercially to achieve work oriented goals, such as improved productivity or job progression more widely, it has been applied as a therapy for psychological disorders, including phobias, depression, generalized anxiety disorders, or GA D. And post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. So it's a it's a real thing. It really is Jennifer, check it out a little bit. Guys, if there's any questions, or anybody that wants to contribute commentary to that, you can give us a call at 248557 3300. It's interesting to see, you know, as we go through this, moving out of the pandemic, right, we're getting vaccinations, we're starting to, you know, some states are now not wearing masks at all kind of scary guys. It's very risky. But hey, I think we're in a good state. We, I think, you know, our governor is making smart decisions on what our people should do. I want all the businesses to do well, that's one of the reasons we're here on this program. Because we realize that there's businesses out there that people might not know that they're open, or they reopened. So if you're one of those businesses, please, please give us a call here at 248557 3300. I also want to put a shout out out there.

Unknown Speaker 15:00

My pleasure. And it really has


Speaker 1 15:03

been quite interesting. We've had some great callers, we've learned some things. We'll go over a couple things that we've learned and we'll share those things on our website. Coming up this next week, we'll put up some recipes for the rice pudding that we discovered. We will also put up some recipes for the mac and cheese that was discovered and shared with us from salt and Co. Also, they are opening a place on on Jefferson called bread lists and they can find their information. It's go threadless.com That was Ryan Salter from salt and CO he gave us a great recipe for the mac and cheese. I can't wait to try that recipe.


Unknown Speaker 15:47

I can't wait to go to their restaurant. Yeah, it's now is a good time. I would like to


Unknown Speaker 15:55

i i took you


Unknown Speaker 15:57

up on one of your I think it was the guest you had yesterday for a kebab Island. Yes, kebab iLight. Wasn't that yesterday? So I got really fired up thinking about chicken shawarma. And so I did I got in my car, and I went over there. And oh my gosh, lovely space.


Speaker 1 16:16

Yeah, isn't awful space. Yeah. Yeah.


Unknown Speaker 16:19

Beautiful, huge, which I like, you know, for many reasons, like post COVID It's going to be a great place to Yeah, together and have like a post COVID party. Right. But right now, it's great because I didn't feel at all like I was next to people. You know, it's that big. There were several people there waiting for their orders, and I didn't feel crowded at all. And also they have the best baklava that I've had in probably 20 years. Oh, yeah, the shawarma was amazing. I think I ate it in about three seconds. I got that three 410 deal that you were talking about. Right? And just Outstanding, outstanding flavors they've got they make their bread and I don't know how to what word to use to describe the bread but very thin. And I found that just delightful instead of like a thicker pita it was a thinner pita and that's why I'm not sure if it's still called a pita bread. But holy cow. Yeah, that's off to kebab island that can't wait to go back.


Speaker 1 17:25

Yeah, it was amazing. And I you know, I really wanted those guys to call in because, you know, it's the independent places that are, you know, could struggle through this and try to be here for us. And it's challenging. I know, I've seen a lot of restaurants struggling but that's one of the reasons we're here, folks, if you are a business out there, and I want to share that information, like kebab Island kebab Island is located on 13 Mile Road, just just west of Shaner right across the street from Rand dazzles there. So if you have some time, and if you're hungry, check them out for lunch. They've got some great specials, kebab Island, what's the phone number for kabob islands, so we can share that Jennifer?


Unknown Speaker 18:11

Yeah, I've got that I was also going to share the the specific address. And then I also wanted to add out, I feel like Sam mentioned this yesterday or Mike on the show, but I talked with them specifically about they are looking for staff, oh, they know that business is going to ramp up now that we're beginning to get the COVID situation under control. And so they're looking, you know, it's a perfect job for somebody just entering the job market. So think of your high school kid. Look, if you're, you know, college kids that maybe are attending locally, it would be a great opportunity. And they really need the help. They really, really need to help. I personally am thankful that our government is being able to subsidize folks who are not working right now. Let me redact that statement. Unemployment Insurance is not government subsidies. Let me just


Speaker 1 19:08

really be clear. Yeah, okay.


Unknown Speaker 19:11

You never earned but I'm glad that they're adding that little bit on for COVID relief, but that little bit is sometimes you know, giving people pause because is it more effective to look for another higher paying job versus taking a lower paying job just to have that income? So that's why I really want to specifically have everyone think about you know, your high schoolers, your early college age kids because they can get great job experience great resume building material, and help out our local industries or local restaurants like kebab islands. I'm glad you also asked me a specific question which I ignored but kebab Island their phone number folks is 586 75 17511


Speaker 1 20:06

Okay. 586751751 That's a good number to remember. I wish I had something like, yeah,


Unknown Speaker 20:14

it's a nice easy number. And I called in advance because I just didn't know what to expect. So I put my order in and it was ready. And I think it was 10 minutes. So don't hold them to that. I may have just called it a lucky moment, but the address is 13440 East 13 Mile Road. And that's in Warren. So the intersection is a road that I don't know how to pronounce. Shana. Right. Thank you Shana. Looking at that word, I would say shader shader and 30 mile and I'll tell you what, it's worth it. It was fantastic.


Speaker 1 20:54

Check it out, folks. You heard it right from Jennifer. This is Ask the neighbor and kabob Island at 586-751-7511 is a restaurant that is open and it's got some really good deals. One of the deals is three chicken shawarma sandwiches for 10 bucks. I saw that and that was what I got. And it sounds like what Jennifer got. Hey, it's nice to get great quality food that's not fast food from local places, local business people that contribute directly to our economy. And don't bring it back to some headquarters some someplace else. You know,


Unknown Speaker 21:35

it's it's real food. And I know this is important to lots of folks. It's also Hello.


Speaker 1 21:41

Yeah. Is it all Hello?


Unknown Speaker 21:45

Um, I don't know if it's all Hello. But I think you either are Hillel or you're not full all as I recall. And it says hello on the front of there. It says it actually throughout the menu on several pages. So I'm pretty sure. Thinking back to my restaurant, work days and hotel work. I think you Hello, I think yeah, I think you are while or you're not. So


Unknown Speaker 22:11

they are Oh,


Speaker 1 22:12

all right. I didn't know that. I thought you could you know, have some halaal and not all Hello? No, maybe


Unknown Speaker 22:18

somebody can call in and educate me because I can be wrong.


Speaker 1 22:22

Yeah, that would be a good question. I mean, we will definitely set that out there. Guys. If anyone wants to call in and explain Hello, please give us a call 248557 3300 You're listening to ask the neighbor. And we're coming at you from 690 Am w NZK. Thanks for tuning in.

Open it up, you know and have people call in and have a discussion. You can't have a discussion with Google. You can just get a million answers but you can't really I don't know.

Speaker 1 35:39

You will. Alright. Take care. Thank you. Thank you. You bet. Alright, guys, that was Hannah from Taylor, longtime listener to ask the neighbor letting us know many, many things about halaal and other things about Dearborn. Thank you for that call. It was much appreciated. We thank you for that. Jennifer, wasn't that a great call to kind of get some feedback really quick?


Unknown Speaker 36:03

Oh, it was awesome. Yeah. I mean, I'm educated on halaal. And I really appreciate that, because I hate to, you know, say stuff that isn't entirely accurate. So that was awesome. And I just, yeah, I love that little glimpse into more of Metro Detroit's culture, right. And it is, I mean, I've lived I've had the great good fortune of living all over the country, in lots of major cities. And I'll tell you what, Detroit is such a world class city for getting that kind of experience of multiculturalism. It's one of my favorite things about this city is you can get out of your car, get out on foot and walk through Hamtramck, like you were mentioning a minute ago, for lots of neighborhoods in Troy or downtown or in the Detroit Institute of Arts. And you can literally hear five different languages being spoken and I just, that's invaluable. That's invaluable for our kids to hear. Their there are so many other people and so many other cultures in this beautiful world. And the more we get to know the better off we are as individuals.


Speaker 1 37:15

Yeah, she's even. It was great Hannah was is from Taylor, but originally from Jordan, and letting us know about the, you know, the differences of Jordan, and, you know, knowing more about the historical pieces of each country that our children come from, right, in the schools, yeah, different languages we speak, to get to know each place a little butter is a great thing. And I think we could we all of our schools could use more much more education on the global workings of our world, you know, from linguistics, I won't, I won't, but one good thing you can do is tap your way to happiness. And the way you can do that is by going to happy dot life h a p p e dot life, thanks to Dr. Beiter made a product procedure a program for middle schoolers that if they're fighting anxiety, or depression, and I think it's and he was mentioning it, even in front of board meetings, you can use this before you start a meeting or an executive it loosens everybody up it, it tears down like you know, these uncomfortable things that you might bring to the situation. We all know what that feels like. I mean, how many times have you walked in somewhere and you just haven't felt that there's this gulf of fog of information of some sort. So try it out. h a p p e dot life, and that's a free program, you can check it out. And it is it is a great program. I believe in this tapping method. It's a way that you can relieve your anxiety or depression in a simple way. And it's a good way to keep going for our children in a way that they can share kindness and respect and gratitude in a in a program you know everybody's so attached to their phone. It's unbelievable. So check it out. Happy dot life. Happy dot life. H a PP E dot life. I'm Jennifer. Guess who we have on the line now.


Unknown Speaker 39:40

Patti Smith.


Speaker 1 39:41

Nope. We have the hammer from Chicago on the line. Hello, hammer.


Unknown Speaker 39:48

Yo, yo, good morning from Chicago. Welcome. Thank God.


Speaker 1 39:52

Yeah. So it was it was negative something a couple weeks ago, right. And now it's 60s.


Unknown Speaker 39:59

Yes, it was Yeah, you were talking about how kids are so attached to their phone, I told my 17 year old son, he'd be the first one to get a phone and plant into his arm. You know, he's married to his telephone. These teenagers.


Speaker 1 40:12

Well, it's funny, but it's not funny. You know, like, we think about this. And having a teenager, myself and children evolved to be teenagers, you know, it's like, it's a scary thing, because that goes right into their brain. Like every single notification, every single beep. Every little thing triggers something in the child's brain.


Unknown Speaker 40:39

That's for sure. Yeah, the kids are busy on the phone. Well, you know, it's all virtual now everything, including staying at home and going to school, and there's just been a lot of pent up energies that these teenagers have. And I think some outlet is always good, right?


Speaker 1 40:56

Well, yeah, I mean, what is the right outlet? I mean, I'm wondering, you know, like, I know, you organize some basketball tournaments, and you do some work with track with kids in the neighborhood their hammer. Um, but yeah,


Unknown Speaker 41:10

my kids started football. Thank God. So at least now he's calmed down a little bit. They're going out there started a lot of schools and started practices, which is actually a good thing.


Speaker 1 41:21

Right, in Chicago? What is the general vibe of everybody? Is everyone feeling like we got to wear masks, and we're not wearing masks? What's the vibe over there?


Unknown Speaker 41:31

Right. Well, we're not Texas, that's for sure. Okay. My brother lives there and says that everybody's taking their masks off now, which, you know, people consider is sort of on the early side, but now people are pretty messed up here. But the restaurants, thank God are starting to open up to about 50%. So that's, that's where we're where we're at. We're about 50%. Open, masked up. But still, people are starting to get their inoculations, which I guess is helping people think about getting out more and opening up to 100%. In Chicago. That's true. That's what's happening.


Speaker 1 42:08

Well, I was thinking about maybe getting over there for my birthday on the 18th. But I don't know. We'll see how it goes. I was hoping for a little bit more openness over there.


Unknown Speaker 42:19

Yeah, some places are open around the country and Chicago still still getting their vaccinations in. And there's, I think only about 10 or no more than 15% of the population that's been inoculated. Yeah. vaccinated for the for the COVID. Here. Yeah, they're working on


Speaker 1 42:39

it. So what's construction looking like in Chicago? Like I know around here, people are starting to move around. They're, you know, they're measuring things. You know, it's construction time the highways are starting to get barricades, highways are down to two lanes, you know, it's back to construction time. What's happening in the commercial real estate in the home repair, Home Improvement? What are you seeing out there hammer?


Unknown Speaker 43:03

Sure. Well, most of the most of the parking lots and a lot of the do it yourself at home repair. Big Box stores are pretty packed during the day. You know, businesses way up for construction. And the other day I was at a lumberyard and they're talking about how you know, two to three bucks a square foot for lumber right now is going to go up again. There's just a huge increase for lumber. And as you said, the other day, Canada's one of our suppliers, because we're not able to keep up with all the growth for trees. You know. There's just an awful lot of new growth. And there were a lot of fires out west, where we get our lumber. I mean, everybody knows on the news, we've had a lot of


Speaker 1 43:49

Oh, last on, was it the fall right that last summer last fall? I know, Jennifer, you've got family out that way. Fires were rampant?


Unknown Speaker 44:00

Yeah, no, it was touch and go. I've got friends up and down the state. And, you know, half my friends in LA were packing up their cars and driving inland. And then my family in Northern California was like, no, no, everything's good. But then, you know, literally two hours later, my dad would be calling me saying okay, everything's fine, honey. And we are going to drive to Carmel and try and get out of the bay area for the smoke. And it's just it's amazing. So I gotta tell you guys, this is my, this is my plan. They all make fun of me because I moved to Detroit. Well, and I just I laugh at them. And I'm like, Hey, y'all are going to be over here and a hot minute because


Unknown Speaker 44:46

we're going to Detroit. Where were you before?


Unknown Speaker 44:50

Oh, before immediately before here I was in Denver for about 10 years and prior to that I was in California. So lots of my west coast. was momentarily but slightly snotty friends just laugh at me and I feel I'm gonna get the last laugh.


Speaker 1 45:07

Right, exactly. Well, what's in the news? Yep.


Unknown Speaker 45:12

Yeah, I was watching the news. There's actually an incredible amount of people that are moving from that West Coast area, some of those states to Boise, Idaho. Of all places. Boise, Idaho is versioning. Is that right? Yeah, it is.


Speaker 1 45:27

What's the population of Boise?


Unknown Speaker 45:30

That's a good question. You know, you could, yeah, not sure how Google there. Yeah, what's interesting, Danko if you moved out there, you could be a famous radio personality instead of a commentator. No, but that's all people know about.


Speaker 1 45:53

Right. So, uh, Idaho's got a let's see population. What do we got? Oh, 226,000 in Boise. 220. That's like the size of calendar.


Unknown Speaker 46:05

Double? Because it was small before, man.


Speaker 1 46:09

Um, so why why Boise? I'm just, I'm thinking like, okay, is that they don't have hurricanes. They don't have fires. They're too small town. What is it?


Unknown Speaker 46:21

Apparently, they have great infrastructure. Yeah. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Oh, it's


Speaker 1 46:26

beautiful. Now, that's


Unknown Speaker 46:27

all I was gonna say is just the beauty of it. I mean, I I, I toyed with Boise as a potential location probably 25 years ago. And I didn't want it because it was too remote. For me, I was looking at it coming out of California, right to remote. But you know, at that point, the cost of living was very low. And, you know, the ability to buy a home and some property was very accessible. But it's funny because like, the great exodus from California, put Denver on the map and Arizona and it's kind of a joke with the locals in Colorado and Arizona, like, you know, our state's been overrun by Californians, right, who come in having sold an $800,000 house or a $3 million house. And it just really puts a lot of pressure on the local marketplaces, because there's so much money that comes in. Yep. It's an adjusting cycle.


Speaker 1 47:25

I would say well, you know, Californians, right. I mean, it's kind of crazy. But, uh, there's so many California people, right, and they have so much net equity from their homes that they might sell. Like, I noticed I had family in Nashville. And there was a ton of people moving in to Nashville from California. Well, like you're saying, Jennifer, you know, they might sell a million or $3 million house and then go buy one in Nashville for 350,000. You know, which would you know, a lot of people moving in from the coast. It's an interesting phenomenon. Because even New York City I hear was like emptying out. And, you know, this story of California, you know, a lot of folks moving out because of the cost of living is so expensive. So places like Michigan start to look good. Boise Idaho looks good. So for sure, for sure.


Unknown Speaker 48:19

Yeah, there were a lot of New Yorkers moving here to from Chicago a few years ago, just it was bang for the buck. You know, you could get to get apartments and buildings here for under a million dollars, whereas a two bedroom apartment in New York City was 2 million or a million dollars. Right. And I know from doing some work a few years ago, we were out in Laguna Beach, you know, Orange County, California, were just a one bedroom shack on the side of the hills there. Went for over a million. I mean, he's, some of those houses were a couple million dollars and a lot of wildfires. So I know they were fleeing Orange County for the same reason. Yeah.


Speaker 1 49:00

Well, we're lucky in the Midwest, you know, we have we don't have those wildfires because we got a lot of humidity around here. And we've got the big Great Lakes that supply us with all this beautiful water and shoreline and all this other stuff. So we're in a good spot. We're in a good spot. We had Hannah calling from Taylor. We've got rich from Chicago, calling in right now. Rich, the hater. He's also our co host on very Chicago radio that we do every Friday between a 11 and 1130. Chicago time 1212 30 Detroit Time, Eastern Time. So


Unknown Speaker 49:39

yeah, we have a great show tomorrow. Actually two great guests. I'm looking forward to it.

If you want to test the waters, and you're not really sure that you want to put your property on the market, go to bid front.com and request the sign. And when people go in front of your property, they can scan it and then they can make an offer and maybe you might like the offer. Maybe you don't but it's a nice way to get soft feeling for what your value of your home is go to good friend great idea.


Unknown Speaker 1:09:41

Danko explain that a little bit more. That sounds fascinating, actually.


Speaker 1 1:09:45

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 1:10:06

sell your proper broker out of the equation right?


Speaker 1 1:10:08

And for a little bit, I mean, because maybe maybe you want to just test the waters, you're not ready to put the house on the market, you want to see what it's worth. Maybe you don't want to put you know your property, but you can least get some feelers out there. This is what it's about getting some feelers bid front calm. You put it out there, and then people can make an offer how many times folks have you may be seen a property that you're like, I'd like that house. I wonder if they would take x? Well, we weren't able to do that before. But with today's technology, you can you can scan bid front the sign in front of their property, and then it'll take you to a website, where you input, what address it is and what you think you want to offer. Real simple. You know, that's how life is. I think we can make it as simple as possible. Hey, hammer, you're gonna be excited to know. We have Steve on the line from volg vintage, which

It was just in there in mint condition. And I thought, Well, I remember that. Yeah. Ah, and then I went on, then I took them out. I'm like, I don't know how these are gonna roll, whatever. But they were in pristine condition you actually skated with? I went to the skate skate in Livonia. And then there were these trick skater guys that were checking out my skates they wanted on the wheel. Because the wooden wheels slide on the on the floor. It's so good. Right, right. And they can do the trick. You're right. They can do the tricks with them where you can't do them with


Unknown Speaker 1:18:23

the rubber. Exactly. So there you go. Incredible.


Speaker 1 1:18:27

Yeah, they were a motor city roller club or something like that. We had them on a very Detroit show. And it was so cool, because they could you know, slide and I realized too, and you would be amazed how fast those roller skates are compared to you others.


Unknown Speaker 1:18:47

The bearings probably has something to do with that. Higher quality bearings.

So I'm always buying I know and yeah, you go but I mean, like we could actually, you know you could put requests out here. Let us know what you're looking for. As we go on and you might be able to call in a couple times a week and go hey, you know Danko I'm looking for a lamp that, you know, there's this and that, you know,

Unknown Speaker 1:22:08

do you go how what's the times? Well,


Unknown Speaker 1:22:12

anything anything older than 1980? Or maybe the mid 80s? You know? Yeah. And then, you know, look, go all the way back. You know, it depends. I mean, a lot of that, you know, our young buyers, they didn't want things from 1910 anymore. 1920. But, you know, certain items, you know, occasional tables and things of that nature will still buy the real old antique stuff, you know. We also conduct a state sales. Oh,


Speaker 1 1:22:40

I didn't know. Yeah, yeah, we've


Unknown Speaker 1:22:41

We restage the house, we price everything, we invite the public there. And, and then then we sell everything in the house for you.

Yep. 11am in Chicago 12pm. In Detroit if you're going to catch it stream blue. We're going to be broadcasting out of 10 at am W N wi in Chicago tomorrow. And hammer and I are going to have some great guests. We have a caller right now. We've got Ike angle bomb. Hello, Ike. How are you?


Unknown Speaker 1:42:08

Wonderful, sir. I wanted to fight in on a few of the calls you got. Yeah. Thank you. Congratulations, when I tried to call in the line was busy. That means you're getting called.


Speaker 1 1:42:21

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Please them a great day.


Unknown Speaker 1:42:25

Okay, well, starting at the top, as they say, as you may have mentioned to you, I work with the Michigan Disabled Veterans Association. And in regards to the person that's got those vintage products and all I mean, it's every Sunday and Tuesday. There's a Veterans Hall on the corner. It's like a flea market. All the proceeds go to the veterans. Oh, no, what I was going to suggest and perfect and I'll be glad to, to participate in getting done. The fellow with all the vintage stuff might want to consider showcasing the items and helping the veterans and a table cost like 15 or 20 bucks for the


Speaker 1 1:43:24

ease. That's like that's like a sandwich price.


Unknown Speaker 1:43:28

You get well the beautiful part of what I envision what I envision is you got so many veterans would volunteer to be behind the table and whatever the proceeds are, would be going to veterans who helped us keep this country going. Yeah.


Unknown Speaker 1:43:49

Freedom. Yep.


Unknown Speaker 1:43:51

The other item with that water heater deal? Yeah. The complication I see. Is the installation of it in someone's home. Not a problem I thought was right. Well, that's the key. If they Glen Megan from the handyman.


Speaker 1 1:44:14

Yeah, one minute handyman. Yeah. Michigan's handyman.


Unknown Speaker 1:44:18

They could install it. Yes. Heck, having a heating system all set up. And Tom could make his own arrangement with with a good idea. That's great. Well, the thing is, is that and I just heard the I forget the woman's name that was always so excited about hearing from Lucy. Yes, Ellen. Well, what you and I have talked about this after a year. There is a special family relationship that Bob Ellison created. And that was so fortunate to be part of the extended family. Right. And that's what we got the cookbooks. Why not consider that kebab place? All right, apparently it's pretty big. Yeah, we spread us social distancing. And we announced that we are the SQ neighbor crowds gonna be there on such and such a day.


Speaker 1 1:45:22

Oh, it's just such an idea. I think that's a great idea.


Unknown Speaker 1:45:26

We? Well, we used to do that at O'Meara's on the west side. We could do this in different parts of the city. And also there Judy, in Westland has a boat 30 women that have friends have asked her neighbor, oh, and she asked me if we could, you know, alert them and they would love to participate. This is an expanding family. And you're 100% right. There is such a need for people to be in touch with each other. Unfortunately, we can't do it physically. But we can do it vocally. Yes. And my synagogue as a great tagline that I think is appropriate. And it says physically part, but spiritually together.


Speaker 1 1:46:28

That's a great. That's a beautiful thing. Yeah. And that's


Unknown Speaker 1:46:34

okay, yeah. And I want to do it with you.


Speaker 1 1:46:39

Thank you very much for calling. We appreciate your call Ike Engelmann. There has a show as well. Angle Bom. Bom. Big difference between angle bomb and angle, man. I know that because the bomb means tree.


Unknown Speaker 1:46:55

Right? Angle my angel man is not that bad. But I love tree grows. It's got branches.


Speaker 1 1:47:01

It's environmentally friendly. It's producing X.

Unknown Speaker 1:47:35

out the great heartwarming call from that fellow that was that's I can't know that there's something bigger than yourself out there. And the radio show helps to achieve that.


Speaker 1 1:47:45

Isn't it interesting. I mean, when we think about how technology, you know, keeps giving, you know, tries to give us this and this and this and this, but it's never going to give that human feel that human connection, like, like a voice does, or touch or what have you. You know, we can't replace that with an app.


Unknown Speaker 1:48:08

You know, I mean, absolutely, everyone's been cooped up and has cabin fever. We all last year, year and a half because of the pandemic. I think it's wonderful. Yeah, you're able to get yourself out there.


Speaker 1 1:48:19

I mean, this is one way that we can connect with folks. And I know, a lot of our listeners, I'm sure have been out there and wondering, you know, once when are things going to open up? What are some restaurants that we can go visit what are some things that we should do that are safe, you know, and in when you talk to the neighbor, you can get some more information. And you can call here Monday through Friday 9am till 11am. And on 690 am WNZK phone number is 248557 3300 we come at you every day. And and through different online streaming.

You know, we're always thinking like in the past or the future, you know, if we stay present right now, we can get great things accomplished. Like our show today, we're able to share what, where you might be able to bring some vintage things to Vogue, vintage right, Vogue, vintage is located in Ferndale, closer to nine mile off of Campbell Hilton.

They're using social distancing and different things, but it's a place where you can find cool things from you know, a lot of those stuff is like from the mid century 5060s But 70s 80s You know, cool stuff earlier stuff. Like I said, I got rollerskates from there that are just awesome. Man came with a an aluminum case. You know who's got roller skates. They got an aluminum case with a hammer.


Unknown Speaker 1:51:50

So do you have a nickname Danko like Danko the destroyer?

Unknown Speaker 1:52:00

the leather jacket to go with it. You're all set we can see out there on the on the roller rink there.


Speaker 1 1:52:05

I know. I'm trying to think of like what would be a great not the lone wolf. You know, that's but something folks if you got a nickname that you know that you think would fit for my rollerskating name, call in 248557 3300. You're listening to ask the neighbor. We're having a little fun with the hammer. From Chicago. He's my co host in Chicago. Very Chicago. We're promoting that show to everyone because I think there's some great value. We'll have on the show tomorrow. Hammer. A couple great guests.


Unknown Speaker 1:52:43

Absolutely. We have a will Adams film director we have the the disabled Museum of African American History, one of the representatives of VP tomorrow on the show, it's Black History Month. And the saddle Museum is now because of the Obamas help a an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC, which is big. So we have a connection as to DC and you know, Detroit, I was gonna say in Chicago are sort of sister cities in the Midwest. I mean, if you could think of the Great Migration during the 40s 50s and 60s, up north from down south, you know, we were the two big cities that everybody went to, right. Chicago and Detroit for for new jobs and a new start.


Speaker 1 1:53:33

Exactly. I mean, that's where they go. Yeah, I mean, everyone came from the south from the west. I mean a lot of when industry started cooking here in the Midwest, it was Chicago, Detroit. You know, of course buffalo, a couple other Cleveland, you know, the Rust Belt. What we call it now, what we call now the rust belt, but it's changed and it's coming along and it's you know, we have realized that this is a great part of the country. You know it it is a place where great families come from, and we do great things around our Great Lakes you know, not many places in the world can get to such mass freshwater. At a drop of a you know, time you know what I'm saying like right here in Detroit we're sitting across the river from Windsor, hello to our neighbors in Windsor, we miss you. Please give us a call if you're listening in from Windsor 248557 3300 We are 690 am WNZ. UK and we'd love to hear from you if you're in Canada. We haven't been in touch with our Canadian neighbors because of the border being closed hammer.


Unknown Speaker 1:54:53

Is that right? Yeah, we haven't been able to one in no one out how it's been or something probably commerce. That's it right


Speaker 1 1:55:00

Well, just commerce, I've seen some trucks back and forth. You know, it's, you know, every city in America is just devastated by what's happened here. You know what I mean? Like, Detroit, especially from our Canadian neighbors, we did a lot of trade with Canada. And, you know, our people going back and forth is a big deal to, you know, we I consider, you know, us like one ecosystem with our friends in Windsor. And I'm sure we have a lot of listeners in in Windsor, that tune in to 690 am a lot of ethnicities also moved to Windsor hammer, and Toronto. And as they came in from different Toronto


Unknown Speaker 1:55:39

is big for people in Chicago. Yeah, and it's just,


Speaker 1 1:55:43

you know, what's cool, too, is, you know, I'm waiting for that day, when I can jump on the, on the fast speed train to Chicago and be there in like, 45 minutes, you know what I mean? That'd be awesome. You know, we have all these things in the world, like in China, you know, they've got high speed trains they've had for 30 years in Japan and in France, you know, why can't we get a high speed train to Chicago? Come on, guys.


Unknown Speaker 1:56:07

We're a little behind the times. And, you know, I was gonna say one good thing about the Midwest or just good old Midwest values. Everyone always talks about Midwest values, right? And how sometimes old fashioned VR, but you know what, there's nothing wrong with that.


Speaker 1 1:56:21

No, hey, look, and we can see what's happening because the people from the coasts are starting to come this way towards the middle. And for good reason. You know, we got some great things to share here. Great culture, great people. Man has been a great show hammer. I want to thank everybody for tuning in to ask the neighbor.
