There's that crispy, crunchy, uh, chicken chain, which I'm hoping to chat with, um, at the next show in Vegas next week.
Heather LalleyHOST
Um, McLane, the big distributor, has a, um, fried chicken concept that's, you know, essentially a plug and play at the c-store level.
Heather LalleyHOST
Um, so it will be interesting to see how these broader, you know, macroeconomic trends impact these growing channels, um, as we look at retail food service.
Heather LalleyHOST
Um, some other interesting things out of this survey, uh, s- uh, consumers, of course, said they want more value when it comes to c-store sales, um, you know, th- that, that, uh, better prices would be the things to lure them away from, from fast food and, uh, higher quality food and again, more freshly prepared, um, meals and snacks.

Ken, do you think David Stearns will learn from his mistakes? Will they give a pitcher a long-term deal? I know the free agent class this year isn't great.
AJ PierzynskiHOST
It's good, not great, but will they give a guy a long-term contract? Will they do that to try to help solidify that? I mean, they have McLane, they have, they have some other guys.
AJ PierzynskiHOST
Taillon pitched pretty well last night.
AJ PierzynskiHOST
Will they do that, and will Stearns learn from maybe some of his mistakes in the past? I, I don't know.
