So our event last week, uh, unfortunately canceled, uh, because of everything going on. I talked about doing a virtual thing and it did. The more we talked about it, the less sense it made people in a Google hangout going, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey it, no. Um, unfortunately our Ann Arbor event, uh, has now fallen victim, uh, for the first Tuesday of April, uh, with the extension of the closure, uh, out to at least the 13th at the or through the 13th at this point to the 14th. Uh, and, and who knows? Cause now we ha we, we just got, we all just got the same emergency alert to our phone. Dude, that was the first, so I'm listening. I listened to 97 one typically when I'm at what I'm in the car and I'm just, I'm just done blog. Okay. And I heard that was the first time in my life I've heard, and I'm trying to go back my entire life to one I've always heard the test is a test of the emergency broadcast system. I got it through to my phone. I know I did both. Oh I gotta tell my phone also, but it was, it was live over the radio. I'd call it, cut him off cause he's like, Oh my God, that was so loud. And he re-read what he was talking about and that was the first time I've heard it. And it was [inaudible] governor Whitner, you know, you have a 12 o'clock, uh, a nonessential business. It was basically read what it said on your sent to your phone, but I'm like, Hey, that was it cause we were not in hurricane country. That is, yeah, that would have been the first time that I'd actually heard a cut in like that. Cause it's always like it has been a test of the emergency room. I get like no, this was the actual first time I had that. But like apparently it's like super loud when you're a radio DJ and it plays when it takes over you. Yeah. I'm not surprised I guess. But yeah. So I mean I guess the latest update, uh, is that uh, yeah, not all non-essential, but I guess here's my, yeah, so the whole nonessential business thing. Uh, you're supposed to close as of midnight tonight, but you look at what's qualified as an essential business and it's like, well what I like, who's really got a close that cause, well it's, it goes, it goes down, down, down the line. Like so like United shores essential business finance, it's financial services but also distributors and suppliers and people that mean that sub selves is all your it guys, all your [inaudible] food service Telcom. Cause we were worried cause we're, you know, building out the new building. This is a great time to do side hustles and side projects that were like, is black box, can they still run cat five fours? Is that a social services or a supplier? They're a supplier. Distributor, yeah, I guess so. So like now it's like really awkward. I know how yeah. Like yeah I guess. And then Mark, um, friend of mine works for waste management. He's got to carry around a letter. Um, yeah, it says he's an essential laughably we can write those letters if we need to because apparently we're an essential service cause we're immediately, we had to talk about that today on our, on our call because one guy out of our team of 30 has to be there just in case like you've got to reboot a server, get onsite at the data center. Um, or like do we I those letters, he was like, well I don't think so. But I'm like, well, what they've said is, well granted, I mean, you take what they've said with a grain of salt at this point. Cause I mean as of yesterday, um, she said there wasn't going to be a stay in place order and then as of 11 o'clock this morning, there's a stay in place order. Um, but they've said they're not going to be pulling people over or anything like that. But what they are planning on doing is targeting quote unquote. And this is again why, okay, well who's not supposed to be open. They're gonna be going to those businesses that they see open and be like, all right, what the hell are you doing? Everyone's got an argument though. If you're a dry cleaner going, I'm supplying the bank laundry. Laundry. Laundry is specifically exact laundromat dry cleaner. That's what I mean. If you actually read the verbiage of this who Oh yeah. Who's not exempt oil change place. They've got to do the car for the vice president of the bank. Got it. Keep us. So you know, hardware stores are still open because you've got to keep that house repaired. Dude. If liquor stores and weed dispensaries are on the critical list, I yeah. Well, cause that's sort of like the guy that I was calling in 97 one that now that I'm listening cause the damn beeping in my ear, he's talking about like, it doesn't seem like anything's changed, like just a little bit lighter on the roads and it's a lot lighter on the roads. Yeah. But 70 fives close. Like it all got cropped out to two down to two lanes, which is one thing I was gonna yell about. Like now that there's no traffic, fix the damn roads and you know, I guess you can now. Yeah, if you do some road crews, road crews are essential services. Yeah. I'm going to operate it. You know, I guess we'll talk about TV in a minute, but I just want to hop right into this. The best article I read all week and it's, it's, it, it talked to me. Um, basically how well gen X is handling this more. I love it. Love it, love it. Well, it goes on to basically, you know, then there's another thing going, Hey, by the way, um, millennials, you know, millennials aren't the ones, um, you know, rushing to the stores and like those are G are rushing to parties and like being assholes. Those are, that gen Z are back. We're in our thirties now. Our backs hurt. Right. But like gen X, like we are like, I'm quintessential gen X born right in the middle of it. Yep. 73, um, like the Nirvana thing at high school graduation, you know. Um, but basically talking about how we lived our first, what, 13 years of our lives with no electronics. Yup. So we, like, we, we know how to use elect. We're the only generation that knows how to use electronics addict or technology adequately. And we're the only generation that knows how to live a life without it. Yup. So now at this time it's like this, like no one from my peer group or anyone I know is panicking. They're just watching TV and shit. Yeah. Like, life's good. Right? Well, it's like I said, dude, I'm like, I'm taking advantage. I'm finally getting around to like handling a couple projects like I, so the, my kids are ecstatic cause in the basement I'm, I've got um, an original PlayStation two [inaudible] uh, a Nintendo GameCube and 64 and the original, we, I'm on Atari 2,600 and some other stuff that I'm finally hooking up to one of the big screens down until I got to make this funny about that. Like I did that in like, Oh one in my townhouse. I was, well I just was like, well dude, do you remember my old basement at the old house cables? Well, but so now I figured out, okay, here's all the stuff that I need to do this now cause okay, how do you hook all that stuff to a TV that only has HTMI inputs? No red white, no, only HDI inputs. That's what I thought. I excited red, white and I just basically had it. Oh yeah, no. So, so here's a great story. So like I had Sunday, I just, I had to get out of the house and I went to, I was going to go to best buy and pick up all the stuff that I needed and my daughter, you know, wanted to get out. And, and so she came with me. So number one, if you ever decide that you want to have a little bit of fun, assuming they stay open, uh, best buy has like big giant signs on the doors, uh, that says, you know, social distancing, six feet strictly enforced. Um, just like walk in and then like flinch towards one of the employees, like you're gonna get close to them and like watch them jump back into hilarious. Like they're absolutely paranoid about it. Um, so we go walking in and the guy's like, Hey, you know, can I help you find anything? I said, yeah, don't worry about it. I said, I'm, I'm just looking for some video upscale units. Uh, I gotta hook up some old components to a newer TV. And he goes, Oh, we don't carry that kind of stuff in stock here. And I went, yeah you do. So I walked back to home theater. Sure enough, they, I need six of those. Give me, did it. And then I'm in and out. Like walking back out. My daughter, she's 12 and she's, my daughter cannot help herself as we're walking up towards, and we walked past Skippy, Mick flinch a lot. Uh, and she says, um, yeah, my dad found everything he needed like right where he thought I was going to be. ...
