This legislation, being this legislation being introduced, was major leagues, baseballs decision to pull the all star game out of Atlanta Georgia. It did so based on a pile of lies. You go to a game right now and pick up your tickets at the will call ticket booth. They will ask you for identification to vote, so major league baseball understands the value of identification and they apparently dont think they are being bigoted racist when they ask you for a drivers license to pick up your tickets, Ainsley Senator TED Cruz blasting, the mlbs decision to move the all star game out of Georgia and thats, where we find PETE Hegseth hes having breakfast with friends at the Marietta Diner in Cobb County thats, where the baseball team Wasgame was supposed to be held PETE. This is the county where the baseball game was supposed to be held. They are still trying to make sense why it isnt for the Woke crowd that came in and tried to get rid of it. They are not here to deal with the aftermath thats. What we are here to talk about this morning, we have Gus. How do I say your
last name, Chellios PETE such a great host for Us Covid changed your business completely. Did you a big overhaul? What did you do here had to make changes quickly? I figured the dining room was closed. We opened a 24 hour, drive thru, anything you want any time you want at a diner. These were booths and became a drive thru a packed, Crif threw and diner. How is business now? Everything has been very very busy. Show us a little bit more of the diner too. We were talking earlier about the all star game and the impact talk to us. How hard was that for you guys? I still dont know I dont know what happened down the road beautiful park, beautiful stadium. We were all excited about it PETE. You had the NBA all star game here. What was that like? It was awesome. All the businesses thrived from it. We were looking forward to the baseball PETE. It was downtown. You are not downtown. It was packed here when the all star
game T was crazy, PETE all STAR game down the road. It would have been packed too. Its a shame I had somebody tell me this story. They told me three times I still dont understand what happened. Pete. Some people were mad about the fact that apparently, everything in Georgia is racist, except the masters which still got to be here and the all star game was like right down the road PETE. How about getting workers back to work here? Thats been a challenge I dont know where theyre, but we have our family here, our team. We are doing great, but we could use more people. Definitely I think a lot of restaurants could use more people right now. Pete. Do you think some of that has to do with unemployment? I really dont know because even the busy restaurants, where everybody is making good money cannot find enough help. We will make it. We just got to run a little faster PETE from what I can tell with Gus. The guy knows how to run. I know you came from far away. I put a little spread french toast. I have seafood twin bacon cheeseburgers. I have
omelets and surf and turf weird time 630 in the morning. You might want some steak. I got olympic size platter here with Lamb Shops and Euro meet Greek Salad Reuben, you came from New York. You got to have a reuben Greek salad with euro and the cake for dessert many cakes. You saw the cakes before PETE. I have never seen a spread like this ever on breakfast with friend. I want it make sure you dont, leave hungry PETE, im silenced. I guess its up to you in New York to decide what I eat. First, I will go with your recommendation. Take your time! Pete! All we have is Time Steve. I read the menu at Marietta diner dot com. If I were there, I would be having the chicken Friday steak with eggs, pork, chops and eggs rain.
