**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Hey, it's King Scott, and I know you're like me, and you have a very busy schedule. So how are you supposed to have an incredible, delicious, healthy meal when you're only home for a few minutes every day? And if you're like me, you're sick and tired of fast food and all the junk options out there. Well, the answer is factor. And I've heard about factor meals and decided to skip those last second bad decisions and finally order. There are over 100 nutrient dense menu items to choose from, like the mouthwatering grilled filet mignon and truffle mushroom tortellini that I devoured last night. And there's options for everyone. I mean, my wife, she loved the balsamic beurre blanc filet mignon with risotto and brussel sprouts. And they keep rolling out new items too, like the salmon burger, shredded pork. Plus, you can have add-ons like the mouthwatering pumpkin flavored cheesecake and protein shakes. Incredible options. And these meals, they're ready in two minutes and they require no prep, no cleanup time. I mean, it is a no brainer. Why use factor and you should too. Let's eat real.

The choice of a lawyer is an important decision. It should not be based solely on advertisements.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:07)
My name is Rosemary and I was seriously injured in a car accident. Brown and Crouppen was right there from the start, all hands on deck. What I like most about Brown and Crouppen is that I had someone there with me right away, helping me with the claim.

We care about you and we will get you every dollar you deserve, no matter what. We're Brown and Crouppen.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:32)
They are the best.

All sorts of different types of cuisine.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:56)
It's a food-forward event.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:58)
Oh yeah. What's the best nation to go visit?

**SPEAKER_6** (3:01)
All of them.

Oh, you know what?

That's a good question, Scott.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:05)
Thank you.

**SPEAKER_9** (3:07)

**SPEAKER_6** (3:30)
Yeah, they got a couple of stages too. They also have like bands and dancers and DJs.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:34)
All local.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:36)
Super fun.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:37)
We'll chat about that later.
So a concert promoter recently posted a video online asking a simple question to Gen Xers. So we're either Gen X in this studio or close to it. And the concert promoter said, hey, help me out here. What is it gonna take to get you guys coming out to concerts again?

**SPEAKER_7** (4:05)
I mean...

**SPEAKER_1** (4:06)
I think raise the merch prices.

**SPEAKER_7** (4:08)
I looked this up actually yesterday. I got kind of curious. And people are going to more concerts now than before, according to research I saw.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:17)
So are ticket sales this summer up or down?

**SPEAKER_7** (4:20)
They are up.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:21)
Is that 100%?

**SPEAKER_6** (4:23)
According to everybody that I know that's doing summer concerts, it's way down.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:29)
From what I read, from what I read, sales are down.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:32)
Is it up for arena bands?

**SPEAKER_6** (4:34)
It's up for some of the big ones. You got the Outliers, the Noah Cons and whatever. But for the most part, dude, especially the mid-level, like pageant size, that kind of stuff. Mid-level bands are struggling to even survive.
