Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Z Live. I'm survival. I'm your host. So glad that you could join us here today on Guardian Radio, 96.9 FM on this beautiful Wednesday, Thursday afternoon, sorry, Thursday afternoon, the day before Labor Day, which will be tomorrow, a holiday I open trusted. You are doing well. If you want to give us a call today, the numbers are 323-6232 or 325-4316 or 325-4259.

Tomorrow is Labor Day and it is easy to take for granted the wonders, the joys, the privilege, the benefits of paid labor.
Yes, I know when people have to hustle and sweat and you know, sometimes endure environments they believe are not conducive to their own well being or they think it should be so much better, they should get paid so much better, they should have so much better terms. I accept all that and that's why work in the field of labor has always got to continue.
But boy, I tell you, it is quite something to have work, paid work. And I remember when I got mine, I remember when I got my first job, the very first job, I, I got a real job. I mean when I surround like when I was a young, young, I was like maybe so my uncle, my uncle really used to have a building that stores in it. On one summer he gave a job to my, me and my brother to work. And so you know, I did that. It was like whatever they asked me to carry, I carried.
And I remember getting a voice. I think it was $20 or $40 and it was like, wow, you know, it was something but, but, but I got my, my very first job.
I was home for the summer from the College of the Bahamas and I had a friend and met a young lady who became a friend and her mother worked through Syntex and when I visited her at her home, her mother was there and we had college of the Bahamas and I was home for the summer.
My mother asked me, what are you doing for the summer? And I said, well, nothing yet.
And so she said, you know, would you like a summer job at Syntex? And I love a summer job at Syntax. And Syntex was. Those days for us was like a glorious place to work. I mean, anyone who was in the science department at the Hawks at Hucksville High School would have known about Syntex. And all the people who had come to work there were doing extremely well there. And so I, I went and I. She got that summer job for me. And oh, man, what a wonder. I was getting paid. Listen, back in, this was in 1985, I was getting paid $225 working at Syntax. You can't put that big, big money as a summer student.
And, and I, I remember the pride, the sense of accomplishment, the a sense of empowerment. I felt, first of all to land the job, and then secondly, to actually be on the job and be doing something meaningful. In those days, I worked in an area called QA called Quality Assurance. And so our job was to test, to provide the samples of the various chemical components that were being produced, that were being imported into Syntax to make the ingredient that they were making. Syntax made the basic ingredient for Aleve. That's what they made.
And so I had to sample, and some of the stuff was steroids, and they were very dangerous to sample. So you had to be fully gobed in the overalls and mask and breathing devices and all that kind of stuff.
And it was, it was quite something. And every other job I have held after that time just built on that pride, built on that empowerment, built on that occasion, and opportunity to be independent, to contribute, and so forth and so forth.
And so. And anyone who doesn't have a job, who's, who doesn't have a job, who either never had or doesn't have or lost a job, knows how that can impact you psychologically, impact you socially, economically, financially, and the like.
And the Bahamas economy, for all of its challenges, for all of its deficiencies, has been able to generate levels of employment that have afforded Bahamians a quality of life that is essentially unmatched in the Caribbean and unmatched in much of the developed world.
Now we can argue about how we used the income and wealth that we were able to generate over the years. And I think some of us have done a very poor job at it. We know that we know that some of us have done a mediocre job at it. Some of us have done a very good job at it and have enjoyed and continue to enjoy the benefits of having done so. But it all starts with that job. And you know, I hear sometimes on these shows, people get on these shows and I think, I think Shabbat Shawn Knight thinks ignorantly, start talking about, oh, always talk about his jobs, always talk about a job when we can have a talk about empowerment, it's so. Let me tell you why it's so ignorant.
Okay?
The economy of the world, not just now, but forever and forever built as it is around entrepreneurship. From the early days of hunter gathering or from the early days of domestication in agro economies, the entrepreneurs who develop their enterprises have always needed entrepreneurs.
So when are you going to develop any society other than a hunter gatherer society in which most people aren't going to have a job, in which most people own their own things? You want most people own their own things, Go right back to the hunter gather experience, because then everybody can hunt for their own things and gather their own stuff. But if you were going to live in an agrarian society, if you're going to live in a society around enterprises where people are trading goods and services on the basis of comparative advantage, you are going to live in a society where fewer people than not are going to be your entrepreneurs. And the vast majority of people are going to be workers.
And some of these people who these ignorant things forget CEOs of Fortune 500 companies making $100 million a year called CEOs because why?
They work for the company. They don't own the company. Many of them, they may have some shares in it, but they don't own the company. They have been employed by the company to, to work for it. So they just happen to have big salaries. Presidents of companies making 100,000, $200,000 a year. They are employees. They got a job. They got a job.
The Prime Minister of Bahamas got a job. He don't own the Bahamas.
All the ministers, they got job. Sebastian today, who owns enterprises that make millions? We are tall.
He now has a job, right? He works for the Bombers. You might say you don't need the income, but the fact of the matter is a job.
And all these architects and carpenters and electric. Electricians and mechanics and managers and insurance agents and nurses and doctors are all bad.
Are we running around some of us calling these shows talking stupid, talking, talking ignorance, man, instead of celebrating the grand opportunity and opportunities that our economy has been able to provide to so many people to afford to pay their bills, to house their children, to clothe their children, to feed their children, to educate their children to to to to to to do provide the medical support that children need to put their children on vacation. All through jobs.
Jobs. That's what I've been able to do all these years.
Thank God for jobs. Thank God for work. Thank God for labor. Thank God for labor. RS who will be celebrated tomorrow who have built some all the all these people talking nonsense about oh well, we all talking about his jobs. You know how you live in the house you live in because somebody had a job to build a house. You know how you eat the food you eat because somebody had a job to to provide the food. You know how you are able when you get sick to go to the doctor. Somebody's got a job job to provide a medical service.
Celebrate workers today. Celebrate jobs. Celebrate the opportunities that God has granted and given for us to earn wealth through paid labor.

[00:14:41] Speaker D: Welcome back. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to Z Live. I'm Chivago. I'm your host. I'm so glad that you could join us here today on Guardian Radio, 96.9 FM on this beautiful Thursday afternoon, day before Labor Day. I trust enough you'll enjoy a wonderful Labor Day holiday and celebrate yourself as a worker.
Hey, I don't need nobody else got to celebrate it for you. You celebrate yourself. Take it easy. Go find some mutton snapper or grouper or boiled fish or con or stew it and boil it and do whatever you want to do and this and pat yourself in the back and say, yeah, two years, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, 30 years, you're done. Good.
It been hard, it been challenging, it been difficult some days. But you get well done. Well done, well done. And I'm serious, it's a heart attack.
I serious is heart attack.
Joy and celebrate joy and celebrate yourself as a worker, a liberal.
And most of us are, most of us are these people with these grand delusions about all.
And you know what I always find amazing? The people who keep talking about, oh, we need more people to be entrepreneurs. Take workers themselves. It's a problem. It's a problem. It's a great thing being a worker. Thank the Lord. Okay.
And I've had most of my work experience, I have to confess, has been really enjoyable.
I'm not saying enjoyable as and I had fun all the time or lots of times, but I'm fulfilling. Didn't feel like drudgery, didn't feel like, oh my gosh, here we go again. I, I didn't, I have not lived my, my me and my sons, me and my children speak about, about that with some regularity. And they always, they always ask me about how I felt working these many years. And I always tell them, really, I never really honestly felt like I was doing drudgery work or the kind of work that I just couldn't get up in the morning, didn't want to get up in the morning to go and do.
Thankfully, I had work for the most part that fit my skill set, my temperament, my, my, you know, my interests in the other jobs I've ever had and actually literally wanted to quit it. You want to hear that?
Should I tell you the one job I really, really I have, but one of the jobs I had, and really not because it wasn't intriguing or interesting, etc, but I wanted to quit it was being Minister of State for Finance.
That was one of the, it was one of the most challenging periods of my life as a worker, as a, as a person with something to do.
I used, I mean, it wasn't the job itself, it was all of the circumstances around the job. Because remember, I became Minister of State for finance in 2007 and that was the onset of the Great Recession.
Demands, challenges abroad, at home and abroad at work and in the house.
All the things, you know, I had young kids who were, you know, getting up and getting out and so work periods in your life can times, it can go smoothly, sometimes it can go with some challenges, but, but to not have work, to not have the ability to earn income, to pay your bills and you know, and sometimes you earn and you, you don't earn enough and you don't, you know, you, you, you embrace a quality of life that costs a certain amount of money. And the truth of the matter is the money don't stretch that far.
Some demands come on you, emergency and otherwise and you know, but to have some base level of income as a starting point is a great and grand thing.
And to be able to earn either in your job or in and outside of your job, it's a great thing. One of that many, many of us have had the experience of doing and that's grand. And the b economy, for I say, as I said before, for all of its challenges, for all of its difficulties, this economy has been able to supply on a consistent basis.
On a consistent basis.
Amen. In the tens of thousand.
In the tens of thousand. I think near 200,000. 200 at last count. 218,000 people with jobs.
Our total labor force might be of the order of 241,000.
Our labor force participation rate is of the order of 76.7%, meaning that of the 241,000 people, 76, almost 77% of them participate in some job or the other.
Our unemployment rate these days hovers around 9%.
And then we got another percentage of people, maybe 5% or thereabouts or so who are, you know, discouraged workers so they don't get counted in the unemployed.
We have thousands of Young people who are not employed. Thousands of young people who don't know the joy, the benefit, the empowerment of employment.
We have an economy that simply does not at the moment provide for a place for all of them and for different reasons, mind you.
Some people there are jobs they just won't do. There are some people there are jobs they would do but don't pay enough. There are some people there are jobs that pay enough, but they're in the right place. It's in Exuma or Cat island or something. They won't go there. They won't be where. They won't be in Nassau or a new prophet or Grandmama or if they tried to be somewhere else, the cost of living somewhere else would be too difficult. Some people ain't won't work because they prefer to do other things and that's the life they want.
But a, a, an economy that you know, generates labor participation of 77%, almost 80% that fairly, that's fairly good.
We need a better economy. We need a more robust dynamic economy and we need an economy that rewards workers more. You know, because wages in the b has been stagnant for, stagnant for a lot of people for, for a very long time now.
And that, that's not a good thing when they are trying to keep up with the cost of living, which has been rising at a, a significant clip in recent times, maybe tapering off now into more reasonable levels. But still, let me tell you, that fuel price increase is putting a licking on people who trying to buy paint and all kinds of things in which fuel plays a part.
And so that's a difficulty for lots of people. So we need an economy that's generating more jobs, generating better jobs, generating more income and that. Let me tell you something, that is not a, that is a tall order.
I, you know, our leadership, whichever sides of the political divide they are on can talk all they want.
Oh, we're going to grow the economy. This we're going to growing an economy first of all is not entirely in their hands.
So entirely in their hands and even where they can do something about it, there is some fairly good evidence that we don't know enough of how to do what we should do because the economy is simply has not been there not been doing what we needed to do. We have not been able to have a. Okay, I need more jobs for these young people. Boom, here's what I'm going to do. I need better paying jobs for these people. Here's what I'm going to do.
I need more jobs in the.
We haven't had that. We haven't had that. We haven't had that. And so there are lots of people who, notwithstanding the, in quote, growth in the economy, do not feel that growth either by way of having gotten jobs out of it or having better pay income earning out of it or having better business profits out of it.
And it's not easy. It's not easy.
You right there in your personal life, you know, if you, if I said to you go and earn an extra thousand dollars right now. It ain't simple, it ain't easy. Well, what you think earning an extra $1 billion, $100 million is and not easy.
And so we, we get, we got some, have some very bad experiences even working, even the workers, people who are working in this economy because it is not doing for them what they would like it to do and because they have that have made this economy work be even more difficult for them. We have a call on the line. Go ahead, call. Are we listening to you?
Go ahead, call it with us.

You know, though, you know, I imagine it's not a nice feeling to get fired. Not imagine. I know it's not. It's not a nice thing to get fired.
And you know, the only time from a job is in politics.
People fired me in 2002, fired me in 2012.
I knew they fired the whole government I was a part of, but he got fired.
And you know, when you get fired from politics, you don't have no severance paid.
They don't give you no pay package.
They send you on your merry way and you gotta go find a way.
And then the same way as when you get fired from a private job, you have to now recalibrate.
You've got to now reflect on what you have to offer, what is out there, what you could do.
And right, just like that. You have no time to, you know, you could be upset, but you don't have some time to stay there too long. You got to go and get moving again.
I have a friend of mine, I, I think after the 2002 election, I like maybe about a month or so later, I was doing a seminar and he said to me, said, man, like you don't waste no time. But I said, but bro, what you want me to do? The people say, no, we don't want to keep you in this employee. What you want me to do?
That's Life, right? Life is adaptation, adjustments.
Life in the adult world is coming to terms with what has happened and doing what you have to do one day at a time, one foot in front of the other, one foot in front of the other, one action item towards your ultimate goal. That's what you gotta do.
And every worker who's been fired knows that. That's what it's like. Sometimes some firings elevate you to that other place that you need to be in life.
Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it's very hard.
Sometimes you lose that job and that has drastic consequences. And people have to work through all of that. And it sometimes makes people appreciate work more than they did before.
And you know, some of us, we are very egotistical in pride. We say all kinds of things. We on these people job, and I don't need this job, and, and these people that might make me sick. And I, I, I, I, I, I leave this job and you know, you know better. You know, in point of fact, you ain't leaving that job because you ain't got nothing to go to yet.
You may not have anything to go to for a very long time. So not fooling yourself. And thank God for that job, yes, you can put up with some stuff and you got to stay and keep your head and keep your wits about you. But don't fool yourself, man, stop. Let's stop. Let's stop.
I'm fooling ourselves. You know, this is what it job. This is what I got to keep. And I'm trying to do my very best to keep this job. I'm gonna. Even if they wanted to find me, they go, think a heart about it, because they say, you know what? That's a really good and productive worker.
But don't fool yourself.
Most of us are not indispensable anywhere.
Anywhere.
They can't do without you when you drop down and, and God forbid, pass away.
You'll see they replace you tomorrow.
You know, just be grateful, be diligent, make a difference.
My, my daughter, I once asked her, I said, you know, tell me one of the things that you have learned from me over the years. She says, wherever you go, whatever job you're on, add value to that job so that people create your presence there.
I want to keep you there. That's what she said. I said, well, I'm so happy to hear you say that, because that's the ultimate, that's the ultimate stability and permanence factor in employment.
It's value adding value. Wherever you are, you could be in A grocery store, you could be in a clothing store. You can be in a.
In a. In a.
A plumbing store, you could be in a hardware store. In the government service, you could be in the prison. Where are you adding value? Nor are you taking up space because taking us. Any physical body will do. It can't help itself. Any physical body will take up space.
The question is whether it's adding value in that space. The question whether there is some benefit, some gain that the organization is getting around in that space. Your activity in that space, your thinking in that space.
And that gives us and makes us workers and laborers whose gifts, as the scriptures say, make room for us.
That's the key. You want room, have a gift. You want more room, have more gift. You even wanting more room, have even more gift.
We telling yourself stories about, you know, what this one do to you and what. That's why I can't make it And. And we can't make it because they ain't this and that. The next thing. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're better and bigger than that.
Sometimes people do get in your way. There's no question with that. Sometimes people are obstructive. Sometimes people are offensive. Sometimes people will try and put you down. Sometimes because of your politics, because of your religion, because of your gender, because of your personality. People will and can oppose you and can try to set you back. And sometimes they will set you back. That's a. And now you got to figure out, how do I get around this? How do I get over this? How do I get under this? How do. How do I drive through this?
That's also part of human experience.
So Labor Day is tomorrow.
What do you do on Labor Day?
What y' all doing on Labor Day? Somebody text me, text me, call me, tell me, what do you do on Labor Day? Seriously, Most of y' all have gone to Labor Day March. I know that for a fact. Because in Labor Day March, don't have that many people like that. So what do you do on Labor Day? The whole day.
I know what's gonna happen tomorrow. They have a Labor Day march. I expect big turnout for the fpld.
What is turned out from the F. M?
If they show up at all. I don't know what you do on Labor Day.
I. When I was in politics, I spent most Labor Days on the march. That's true.
Some days when I wasn't in politics, I spend time watching the march. I'd go find a spot and watch the match from a spot.
Most Labor Days I treat like independence, you know, like I kind of take it easy.
I do Bahamian stuff, breakfast, lunch, dinner.
And I am watch some. You know, I always. I don't know why my Bahamian thing is if I. Because I love to watch tv. Right. I ain't gonna lie to you.
I watch tv. I can watch some.
This text says work. Are you working on Labor Day? Okay, say why the parade ending at PLP headquarters?
Really?
That's where. That's where it's ending at pm.
Wow. Okay.
Well people, let me say you guys can't beat them, join them.
So that's where it's ended.
What do you do? Somebody said they work. I can. Well, I imagine there are some people who can work on the. On Labor Day.
Working on Labor Day, you know, must. Must not be nice. But it is. What you got to do something. Some people. This says Lang. I rest from my labor on Labor Day. Wonderful. There you go. Rest from.
Oh, say that's the PLP version. The PLP version of the Labor Day march is going to end at the PLP headquarters. The others are going to end at various other places. Oh, I see, I see. Okay, well that makes sense then.
That makes sense.
The F and M G version 2 where they going up at headquarters on Mahe Street.
I remember there's always been that debate should be as a PLP or FNM or COI or should we just come in plain clothes and support the workers and so forth and so forth. You ain't never got to worry about how that question ending end with political parties and show up in their paraphernalia.
Tech says the issue is not just about workers and entrepreneurship. There will always be people who only want to work for someone else. There are some who are some who aren't who want to work for self in business that can create jobs. They are stuck because of the policies and laws that hinder such very few jobs of. Well, you know. Anyway, I gotta read that later. All right, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us. We're going to take a break for news and then when we come back, we got a special guest.

[00:41:58] Speaker F: A pleasant Good afternoon, Mr. Lang. I hope you and your family doing well on this beautiful surrender for the march.
[00:42:04] Speaker D: Thank you, sir. Same to you.
[00:42:06] Speaker F: I think I'll be trying to get up early tomorrow, rest today and go. I can't march no more. Junk will no more. So I just stand on the side and watch them come down Bay street or wherever they going.
You know when it comes to this thing called jobs, I don't know what's going on with the young guys today, young gentlemen today around my town.
My mother died in 1996 when I was six years old in Eastern senior school.
From then before then every Saturday before we go anywhere, my older brother, my cousin and myself, she would give each one such a butcher knife and tell us, you take that piece of the yard, you take that and we had the weed go anywhere on Saturday.
That was the rule.
After that she got started giving me summer jobs. Every time there's a summer Easter break, I would be working either the city meat parking grocery on Madera Street.
Oh man. Then she started carrying me to Nassau repair shop. I learned how to pump gas.
Then the next summer I would go back in Marty and Fender room. Then the mechanic and Fender room. Every summer I had to go to NASA repair shop.
She died when I was 15.
So that mean I had to put myself through the government high. My father was a bartender, always gone.
My older brother studying to be a civil engineer at Howard University, Washington D.C. and my cousin was doing dental technology.
And then I had to put myself through government high because my only sister was living with my cousins or spending plenty of time with my cousin.
So work was something I had to do.
Then I got married very young at 25. Had two kids, end up in a divorce, end up in a big house in Seabreeze. But then I had a young kid that his mother left on me when he was 4 years old. So I had to bring him up by myself.
Then he became a teenager, got him a job, put him through school here. But I wanted to send him off to school to Chicago. Maywood, Chicago, Forest Park, Chicago. I did all of that. He came back. I had to finish him up in high school here.
And then I sent him off to Freeport to finish the Grand Bahama. I got him a job. He ended up being a manager. Rubis. Now he's 32, up in Canada, studying to be a pilot.
So I know. But work it took me 20 years old. I sold a big house in Sea Breeze, got a small house down in Pride Estate because I only needed something small for me and my son.
He went off to Canada to study and I ended up paying the mortgage corporation for this house. Took me 20 years to put to pay this off. Worked at Batelco till I ended up at Batelco, help Leslie Miller build the bowling alley. And that was it. Then I retired in 2011.
Since then I've been retired. I finally paid off my mortgage.
But now when I go out sometime to get my little refreshments, when I walk into the bar or whatever, the young man sitting there from 10 o' clock in the morning, drinking liquor, drinking Red Bull. And I walking in and they asking me to buy them a beer. I say, brother, I ain't buying no man, no bear. You could sit here all day while the foreigner out weeding and making six $700 a week. And you sit and hustle and a collect. When I walk in, I say, brother, buying a six pack to me for me. I wouldn't buy you a cigarette. I wouldn't buy you nothing. I going home, sit on my porch, drink my beer. Have a great day, Mr. Lang.
[00:45:38] Speaker D: Take it easy.
Take it easy, Sparky.
Sometimes, sometimes I. I just do the experiment, you know, just see where the conversation would go.
But, but, but the baki's right. There are some people who will despise work.
You know, they, they, they don't want to work.
They might want a job to pay them money, but they don't want to work. And so they decide and choose to do some other things anyways.
So the Balmas Nationality act says in section 7, any person claiming to be entitled to be registered as a citizen of the Baham 7, 9 or 10 of the constitution in the prescribed manner and in any such case, if it appears to the Minister that the applicant is entitled to such registration and that all relevant provisions of the Constitution have been complied with, he shall cause the applicant to be registered as a citizen of the Bahamas, provided that in any case to which those provisions of the Constitution apply, the Minister may refuse the application for registration if he is satisfied that a.
Has a. Has within the period of five years immediately preceding the date of such application, been sentenced upon his conviction of a criminal offense in any country to death or to imprisonment for a term of not less than 12 months and has not received a free pardon in the sentence B. Is not of good behavior. Listen that. So you can be entitled under the Constitution for registration under the Bahamas Nationality act as a citizen, but not if the Minister deems you to be somebody of not good behavior, but that me or C.
Has engaged in activities, whether within or outside the Bahamas to the safety of the Bahamas or to the maintenance of law and public order in the Bahamas D. Has been adjudged or otherwise declared bankrupt under the law enforce in any country and has not been discharged or E Not being the dependent of a citizen of the Bahamas has not sufficient means to maintain himself and it's likely to become a public charge or if for any other sufficient reason of public policy not conducive to the public good, that the applicant should become a citizen of the Bambas. My God, that's some serious, serious power the Minister has to deny someone
[00:48:41] Speaker C: who
[00:48:41] Speaker D: might otherwise to deny someone who might otherwise under the Constitution be entitled to citizenship. What the. What the law is seeking to do now, the. The amended law, we can get them in a minute. Is to amend that provision so that, well, if you get denied by the minister for whichever reason, you can then get registration as permanent resident 500.
You might be not be able to take that up to date. But anyway, I was trying to wait for my guest, Mr. Ian Thomas of Direct marketing Marketers. You reach you here. What's going on, Mr. Thomas?
[00:49:19] Speaker A: Amen. Chicago long. How are you today, man?
[00:49:22] Speaker D: I am mostly good. I'm mostly good.

[00:49:35] Speaker A: Yeah, I think you got a point there. I think you got a point there. So let me just jump straight in this. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Ian Thomas, and I'm here from Direct Marketers. Direct Marketers, of course, is a marketing company where we specialize in radio, tv, print, social media and E Blast.

[00:50:15] Speaker A: Someone. Someone told me that last week. They said, why you tell Chicago that?

[00:50:22] Speaker D: So now so no one I don't want foolishly say your number.

[00:50:46] Speaker A: You see that as soon as I come here, this phone ringing. Chevalgo. Yeah. Look here. People listening to this show here. Everywhere I go, people talk about this show. It's so. It's so. It's so amazing, and I'm so happy that I have a chance to come here, but I got to run and tell you all about this. Me turn this phone off because this thing is going off again. What am I here to tell you guys about Epic Battery? You know Epic Battery, don't you, Chicago?
Epic Battery.
[00:51:13] Speaker D: Of course I do. How could. How. Who would not know?
[00:51:15] Speaker A: Yeah, you love Epic Battery over there.
[00:51:19] Speaker D: Yeah. Because.
[00:51:22] Speaker A: Okay, good, good I thought so. I remember that. So I just want to let everybody know right now this is a great time. Well, I'm sorry if you, if you're experiencing battery problems, but if you are, I want to say this is a great time to purchase a battery. You go down to Epic Battery. They have two locations right here in Nassau. Like, like Chicago said. They got one in Freeport. They got two locations here in Nassau. One is on Wolf Road. Everyone's kind of familiar with that one. And the other one is on Fire Trail Road. Unless you go ahead and you travel those road, just in case some of people, you are not aware that they sell more than batteries. Epic Battery also sells tires now, and they're the leaders when it comes to batteries and tires. Like I said, two locations, Wolf Road and Fire Trail Road, they carry a wide selection of tires to fit any, any car. American, Japanese, European vehicles. They have all those tires for that. I had the opportunity, like I said last time, to visit their production facility. And I was blown away by the enormous amount of selections that they have. And I'm talking about tires for cars and trucks, Jitneys and buses, dump trucks, tractors, motorcycles, ATVs, trailers, payloaders, and so, so, so much more. Right now, Epic is having a huge, huge battery blowout that were normally $125. They have been drastically reduced. You guys only pay $89 plus watt. That's a big discount, you know, from 1:25 to $89.
[00:52:48] Speaker D: That's very good.
[00:52:49] Speaker A: Yeah, man. You can get batteries for your cars, motorcycles and boats. Like I said, last week there was a power outage. A lot of people were talking about that. And I realized that my generator battery was dead. So I jumped in my car, went over to Epic on Wolf Road, went by there. The service guy said, hey, listen here, I think this is the battery that you need. Those guys are so knowledgeable and very, very helpful. And he told me I was able to get one of those batteries for $89. Not only did I get one, my sister was stuck at the. I need the dock and she needed a battery. So I, you know, I told her where she had to go and she was happy that was only 89 because she was willing to pay a up to 150, $179 to some other place. I can't call their name, but they were able to get that battery. Ladies and gentlemen, tell somebody $89 for a battery. If you jump in your car this morning and you take a little while to go over and you say Lord, it ain't the alternator. It must be the battery. Get a battery. $89. $89 battery at Epic. Call somebody and let them know sorry for my generator. And like I said, let individuals know that they also Epic Battery and they changed the name really? Epic Battery and Tire.
[00:53:55] Speaker D: Now, you don't say that name right, though.
[00:53:59] Speaker A: I know, I know you was gonna.
[00:54:01] Speaker D: Someone's gonna say electric battery.
[00:54:03] Speaker A: Yeah, Kenny. Kenny, you remember that?
[00:54:11] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:54:13] Speaker A: But Epic is a, is a staple in this community, man. So listen here. All the batteries come with a warranty, which made me and everybody else feel good. So you feel another sense of protection. So I spoke to Mr. Bryce, that's the owner down there, and his team, and, and I said, let's go in this direction of, of tires because you now you guys are heavily invested in tires. He said that it was a no brainer. They saw a need for it because the Bahamian people want affordable tires, Affordable brand new tires. They're solid, they're long lasting tires that you won't have to worry about anything. Look at them. My phone going crazy right now. I see you, Ms. Smith, calling me. I see you, Ms. Smith. Okay, so that's what I'm saying.
And you can get these ties without breaking the bank. So for all you guys out there who probably go to the auction and buy cars, this is a great time. You probably want to get your cars. You want and you probably buy them and flip them. Go down and get some, some brand new tires and then change that battery. That's a great thing. And this is a wonderful, wonderful time to go to Epic Battery. The boss said they're overstocked and they have to get rid of over $130,000 weight of tires and batteries. $130,000. They overstock and they want to pass the savings on to the public. So no matter if you live in Nassau or on the family islands, you can get batteries and tires right now at the least expensive. Damn. When we say cheap. Least expensive. Let me get a phone number. Epic battery or 1 7200. 341. 7200. Once again, 341-7200. Now by saying 34-1-1, I know that's the one on Fire Trail Road. Go down there, ask for Mr. Cash. That's my boy down there. Me and him had a great conversation Yesterday. Asked for Mr. Cash and Mr. Cash, I come down here and I want you to save me some cash. Go to Epic Battery, Wolf Road and Fire Trail Road. How you feel about that information, man? Chivago Plan.
That's a good.
