Texas Hill Country Logistics, Central Texas Oyster Bar
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the program from Texas Hill Country and Northern Silicon Valley. They discuss local logistics, including a massive train carrying cargo containers east from California ports. The conversation shifts to the availability of fresh seafood in landlocked Texas, specifically a martini and oyster bar in Hill Country that receives its stock via truck.

00:00 Congratulations! Melting the M5M and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where the geese are coming in as I see them slowly fly in from the north. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Yes, screw the geese. Tell me about the train.
00:36 The train is still going. Wait a minute, it's going inland or which direction is it going? It's coming in from the port, loaded with cargo containers. It's coming in from the port going to San Francisco? No, this is the track that heads west. This is supplying, no the stuff from San Francisco is just pretty much hauled around by truck. Oop, there's the second batch. Oh, oop, there it is. No, it's the second batch of engines that have to be in the middle of this monster. Oh my goodness. And so it just keeps going and going with, each one's got two or three containers on it.
01:14 and it's almost done but it's not quite there. Nope, nope, there's more. And so all of that is going to California and not to the rest of the country. Clearly. No, it's going east. It's probably most of it's going anywhere but here. Well, it's not showing up in most places. Well, I think your stuff comes in from... No, we're good. In Hill Country, we're good because we're on the throughfare. So, you know, 290 is a trucker's route. So they, we have fresh seafood in the heart of Texas. Yikes. Yeah. What do you mean yikes? That's what I say, yikes. Mmm, tasty. It's fresh. Have some Central Lake, Texas oysters, everybody. Some oysters. We have a martini and oyster bar in town.
02:04 Where do you get the oysters from? From the truck. From the truck. That's what I want. Fresh trucked oysters. That's right son, we have truck oysters here in Hill Country. It's not a problem. Yeah, yeah, well there's a lot to talk about but it is a Thursday which do you have a do you have a report? Do you have something? I do have one. Oh, oh. I found an interesting, a very interesting phenomenon. Well hold on a second. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC! The never-ending three bad things! That's right, every single Thursday, the first Thursday of the week, John C. Dvorak runs down the top three networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, lets us know how important it is, all the stuff that they're telling us, including shopping.
