Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack.
Speaker A:And this company that owns this radio station, we go by 479 Media Group.
Speaker A:You know, we've got this station and four other radio stations.
Speaker A:Our studios are in Fayetteville, long time home of the X104 9.
Speaker A:The guy that owns the X, bought these other stations, including this one.
Speaker A:And so we now have five radio stations that we operate in Fayetteville.
Speaker A:But we're getting ready to move to Lowell.
Speaker A:And so I'm really excited about this because I feel like Lowell is kind of the heart of northwest Arkansas in a way.
Speaker A:And it's not.
Speaker A:That's not me trying to suck up to the Lowell pharmacy guy.
Speaker A:That's not me trying to suck up to my buddy Bill that owns the Grove and Lowell, the comedy club, even though I love that place.
Speaker A:And.
Speaker A:And I'm not trying to suck up to him because he's running for mayor or any of that stuff either.
Speaker A:I'm just saying that From Lowell in 15, maybe 20 minutes, you can be in stadium watching the Diamond Hogs or, you know, Bud Walton or Razorback Stadium, the American Community bank center, bazillion dollar Stadium.
Speaker A:In 15 or 20 minutes northbound, you could be in Crystal Bridges.
Speaker A:You can get to any part of northwest Arkansas in less than a half hour from Lowell.
Speaker A:And 71B and Interstate 49 are closer together in Lowell than they are anywhere else.
Speaker A:And so I just feel like it's the heart of northwest Arkansas in a lot of ways.
Speaker A:I'm really excited about us moving there.
Speaker A:You may have heard a commercial with me soliciting for food trucks.
Speaker A:We're gonna have a few food trucks around our studios, which I think is pretty cool.
Speaker A:Just kind of turn it into a community space.
Speaker A:Kind of got that indie.
Speaker A:Indie vibe, right?
Speaker A:That's because we're an indie group.
Speaker A:There's two other commercial radio groups.
Speaker A:Cumulus, headquartered in Atlanta, and iHeartMedia, headquartered kind of halfway between San Antonio and Fifth Avenue in New York.
Speaker A:They're the big dogs that, you know, they have the I heart this and the I heart that and I heart everything else.
Speaker A:And they have no heart when it comes to employees because they fired their last local dj.
Speaker A:So if you hear people on the air on one of those stations mentioning Fayetteville, they're reading from a pamphlet they may have visited.
Speaker A:They don't live here.
Speaker A:I live on the far west end of Weddington Drive, beyond where it goes from four lanes down to two lanes, not far from the Weddington Volunteer Fire Department.
Speaker A:And the fact that I know there's a Weddington volunteer fire department or prove to you I'm from northwest Arkansas.
Speaker A:But anyway, we're moving to Lowell.
Speaker A:We're doing these food truck things, and I'm trying to kind of.
Speaker A:I'm trying to start getting that moving mindset right and going through some equipment, thinking about what I need to pack up, what I can go ahead and shut down.
Speaker A:And it dawned on me one of the most important pieces of equipment beyond all the the technical wonders of radio.
Speaker A:There's a company refrigerator, and it needs to move because I want to be able to put some stuff in the fridge, as always.
Speaker A:But, you know, just like any company, sometimes the refrigerator can be kind of scary.
Speaker A:And as I decided to dig into cleaning the company fridge, I found six signs that it was way past time to clean out the company fridge.
Speaker A:Best way to start your day.
Speaker A:These six jokes.
Speaker A:He's about to say, listen up for old haystack to crack open the mold.
Speaker A:Oh, goodness, yes.
Speaker A:I'm doing a morning six pack about cleaning out the fridge.
Speaker A:The top six signs that cleaning out your fridge was way overdue.
Speaker A:Numbers.
Speaker A:Number six, the Tupperware lid is straining harder than your uncle's belt buckle at Thanksgiving.
Speaker A:Oh, those bloated Tupperware things are scary.
Speaker A:Number five, the crisper drawer has accumulated an inch of black liquid that looks like crude oil.
Speaker A:I'm gonna scrape it up and see if I can sell it.
Speaker A:We'll make some gas out of that.
Speaker A:Number four, the mold on a container of pasta has a higher credit score than the intern.
Speaker A:Number three, I tried to move a Tupperware container, and it growled and pulled itself back into the shadows of the refrigerator.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:That's not a good sign.
Speaker A:Number two, the baking soda box that was supposed to absorb odors has packed its bags and left a resignation letter.
Speaker A:And the number one sign that it's way past time to clean out the refrigerator.
Speaker A:A pizza box in the back says, Eureka Pizza Eureka.
Speaker A:It's pizza.
Speaker A:And pizza from Eureka is a big, big deal.
Speaker A:It's big.
Speaker A:Another example of how, you know, I'm actually from here.
