Good morning, good morning everybody. Happy Tuesday, January the 3rd. How are you doing?

Was that coffee tasting on this fine, fine Tuesday? We're three days in to 2023. Really in two and a third, two and a quarter.

Are you still on your New Year's resolutions? I'm going to hold you accountable here.

Dave, are you still doing your New Year's resolution? Plucking one day at a time, man. One foot in front of the other. One day at a time.

We have a lot to talk about today on today's show. First, let me just introduce and welcome everyone that is new here. It seems like we have a little influx of new people daily now, which is amazing.

If you are wondering, I've had several questions now. Where do I watch the show? We are live on YouTube at 6.30 a.m. Central time every single morning. Well, Monday through Friday, I should say.

And then you can watch the show afterwards if you don't catch it live. You can also download the show, the audio portion of it on any podcast and app.

So, and then if you're wondering where are these comments that Zed's reading from, zedmedia.substac.com. If you're tuning in for the first time today, we talk about everything trending from politics to money to sports.

So, we do here on this show. We dive down. We give you a little update, a little summary in the morning while you're drinking your coffee. So, you can shut off the internet and get on with your day.

It's the whole point of the show. We take it very, very seriously. All right. I want to get you all riled up. Get you angry before you go to work. Of course.

Anyways, we have a lot to talk about today. If you are a football fan, even if you're not a football fan, there was a very, very disturbing scene on the football field last night that ended up getting the game canceled.

They suspended the game indefinitely. We haven't heard anything else. That doesn't really matter at this point, but we will get to that here in a little bit.

But first, we got to get to our national holidays. Today is national drinking straw day. You only got two options. Drinking straw day and national chocolate covered cherries. Yuck.

Did you guys have any of those little chocolate boxes this year at all for the holidays? No, but I love those things, dude.

I love and hate those things because randomly you'll get one of these little bastards. You'll get a frickin chocolate covered cherry. Whoever makes these chocolate backs is shame on you.

So, I mean, you're playing with fire. There's landmines, dude. There really is. Dude, there's some real duds in there. Oh, man. And I don't even know who likes chocolate covered cherries.

Dude, my favorite part about national drinking straw day. It's Greta's birthday today.

It's really, yeah. So sorry.

Way to put the plastic straws out there. I'll tell you.

You know what? While we're on it, I saw this headline yesterday. This is from a few months ago. This is from CBS News.

CBS News, mainstream site reporting on this from this October 24th. So like I said, a few months ago.

Is there a headline? Plastic recycling a failed concept study says with only 5% recycled in US last year as production rises.
