WELL
WELL IT
WELL IT IS TIME FOR SOME TALK. AND I WENT DOWN FOR THIS ROSCOE'S TACOS IN GREENWOOD
MAKING ITS TRIUMPHANT RETURN
AFTER CLOSING DURING THE PAN AM
TACOS ARE YOUR FAVORITE FOOD.
I'M WITH YOU ON EASY. THEY
SOUND GREAT. CARLOS, YOU'VE
BEEN TEASING ALL THE FUN YOU
HAD VISITING THERE THIS WEEK.
THIS PLACE STUFF A LEGEND DOWN
ON THE SOUTH SIDE IN GREENWOOD.
SO THE QUESTION IS DID YOU GET
TACOS? NO, I DIDN'T. THEY
DIDN'T BECAUSE THEY HAD BECAUSE
THEY DON'T REOPEN UNTIL MID
JULY. I WAS KIND OF. I WAS LIKE
YOU'RE GETTING GOES BUT I'LL
TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED. OK. SO
RITA AND ROSCOE TOWNS AND THEY
OWE ROSCOE'S TACOS AND THEY HAD
TO CLOSE THEIR BUSINESS IN
MARCH BECAUSE OF COVID 19
PEOPLE IN GREENWOOD HAVE BEEN
CLAMORING FOR THEM TO REOPEN SO
MUCH. SO I HAD A GREAT DEAL.
YOU KNOW, LET'S LET'S HAVE YOU
SIT OUTSIDE BECAUSE YOU'VE
ANNOUNCED THAT YOU'RE TO REOPEN
.THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED IN MY
30 YEARS OF BROADCASTING. WE'RE
RIGHT HERE OVER NEXT TO MADISON
AVENUE AND SMITH VALLEY ROAD
BETWEEN US WENT TO MADISON.
PEOPLE WERE DRIVING BY DURING
THE INTERVIEW HONKING LIKE
CRAZY DURING THE INTERVIEW. AT
ONE POINT I SAID TO HECK WITH
IT, JUST LET THE HONKS HAPPEN.
I'M GOING TO RE ASK THE
QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
SO AS YOU WATCH THIS PACKAGE
COUNT, HOW MANY HUNKS YOU HEAR
IN THE BACKGROUND BECAUSE
PEOPLE IN GREENWOOD LOVE ROSCOE
SARKIS HOW LONG IS ROSCOE'S
TALK HAS BEEN HERE ON THE SOUTH
SIDE? WE OPENED IN SIX. TWENTY
FIVE YEARS. WHAT HAPPENED WHEN
CORONA VIRUS RESTRICTIONS
WOULDN'T PLAY WELL WHEN THE
GOVERNOR SAID TAKE OUT WAS OUR
ONLY OPTION. HE LOOKED AT THE
SIZE RATION RIDE AND WE FELT
LIKE IT WAS BETTER OFF FOR
EVERYONE IF YOU JUST STOP. SO
YOU GUYS DIDN'T FEEL THAT YOU
COULD OPERATE SOLELY ON TAKE
OUT A LOAN WHICH IS WHAT THE
JUST COULD DO WHEN YOU LOSE
HALF OF THE REVENUE. IT'S NOT
SUSTAINABLE FOR ANY. YOU GUYS
WERE PREPARED TO SHUT IT DOWN
FOREVER. YEAH. IT WAS SCARY. SO
WERE THERE TEARS? OH MY
GOODNESS. YES. A LOT. SO WHAT
WAS THE INSPIRATION ON ROSCOE'S
TACOS? RIO? A LOT OF IT WAS THE
COMMUNITY SENDING ME MESSAGE
SAYING HOW MUCH THEY MISSED AND
TELLING STORIES ABOUT HOW THEIR
THEY GREW UP HERE AND NOW THEIR
KIDS ARE COMING IN. HE DIDN'T
GET HOW SPECIAL IT WAS AND HOW
SAD THEY ARE. SO GET A LITTLE
BIT OF MONEY FROM FRIENDS AND
FAMILY WHO HAVE HELPED US
FUNDRAISER FROM OUR CUSTOMER.
AND WE JUST DECIDED THAT LET'S
DO IT, LET'S SERVE THE
COMMUNITY. ROSCOE'S HAPPENS
AGAIN. SO HOW DID MAKE YOU FEEL
WHEN EVERYONE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
WAS SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU? IT'S
BEEN OVERWHELMING HAVING
HEARTFELT PEOPLE I MEAN IT'S
JUST MY PHONE BEING ALL OF THIS
CRAZY SINCE I MET AND HE'S LIKE
OH YES, YOU'RE ANSWERING
MESSAGES AGAIN. I'M LIKE YEAH.
I MEAN IT'S EVERYDAY BUSINESS.
IT HAS A DIFFERENT MEANING TO
THE PEOPLE WHO COME IN AS A
CUSTOMER. THEY CAN'T GET THIS
PARTICULAR PRODUCT ANYWHERE
ELSE. WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO
A BIG TURNOUT. WE REOPEN. SO
THERE WERE TEARS WHEN YOU GUYS
HAD TO CLOSE DOWN AND THERE ARE
TEARS OF HAPPINESS WHEN YOU GET
TO REOPEN. LIKE WHEN I'M FREE
SOME OF THE MESSAGE STILL COME
IN THE OFFICE LIKE WHAT'S
WRONG? I SAID I'M JUST THE
MESSENGER BUT I SAID HERE, READ
IT. IT'S VERY EMOTIONAL. YES.
THEY'VE VERY KIND. I RECEIVED
AN E-MAIL FROM A GUY NAMED
ALEX. HE REALLY LAID IT REALLY
GOT HE READ IT TO ALL OF US.
THEY WERE JUST LIKE FIVE. IT'S
JUST LIKE IT MUST WOULD BE MORE
HUGGING OR LIKE CRAZY WHEN
THEY'RE DRIVING BY HERE. THAT'S
GREAT. BUT A GREAT SCAN. YEAH I
MEAN CAUSE I KNOW IT'S GOING TO
BE IT'S GOING TO BE HUGE. YOU
MIGHT HAVE TO SET A TENT AT
ABOUT THAT'S A ONE THING
HOOSIERS LOVE AND LOVE
TRADITION IS THE TRADITION OF
ROSCOE TACOS. IS THAT THE
REASON YOU GUYS ARE REOPENING.
YOU CAN'T GET IT ANYWHERE. I
CAN. AND IT'S NOT FAIR TO TAKE
IT AWAY. YOU KNOW, I HERE'S THE
THING WITH THAT INTERVIEW THERE
WERE SO MANY MORE HONKS THAT I
HAD TO EDIT OUT JUST SO YOU
WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN GOING CRAZY
LIKE THERE'S TOO MANY HONKS
GOING ON DURING THE INTERVIEW.
WE COUNTED DOZENS OF HONKS WHEN
IT WAS GOING ON. THAT'S HOW
MUCH PEOPLE LOVE ROSCOE AND
RITA HERE IN GREENWOOD. AND SO
I KNOW EVERYONE'S ASKING. I HAD
THREE PEOPLE PULL UP DURING THE
PACKAGE. WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO
REOPEN? ALL RIGHT. SO THEY'RE
SAYING MID JULY NOW BECAUSE OF
THE ANNOUNCEMENT YESTERDAY THAT
THEY CAN'T OPEN BACK UP AT 100
PERCENT. THEY CANNOT REOPEN AND
DO BUSINESS UNTIL THEY'RE OUT
AT 100 PERCENT. SO THEY'RE
LOOKING AT MID JULY AS FAR AS
REOPENING. BEN AND JULIA.
PEOPLE ARE CLAMORING FOR
ROSCOE'S TACOS TO REOPENING AND
IT JUST GOES TO PROVE THAT
HOOSIERS IF THEY LOVE SOMETHING
THEY'RE GOING TO GET IT BACK.
YEAH, ESPECIALLY DOWN IN THE
SOUTH CITING CARLOS WHAT I LOVE
ABOUT THIS STORE. YOU'VE TALKED
TO SO MANY LOCAL BUSINESS
OWNERS THROUGHOUT THIS
PANDEMIC. RIGHT. AND I THINK A
LOT OF US CONSUMERS JUST ASSUME
OH WELL THEY CAN START TO CARRY
OUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE JUST
FINE BUT THEY WERE REALLY
HONEST AND SAY LOOK, THAT'S
PROBABLY JUST A DROP IN THE
BUCKET FOR US. WE'D LOVE TO WE
JUST DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO
DO THAT. WELL, THAT'S THE THING
THAT YOU DON'T REALIZE WHEN YOU
A REALLY GOOD HALF OF YOUR
REVENUE SO YOU SAYING THAT YOU
KNOW THAT YOU CAN YOU CAN
SURVIVE ON HALF OF YOUR REVENUE
BECAUSE THAT MEANS YOU'RE
MAKING DOUBLE THE REVENUE WHEN
YOU'RE AT FULL CAPACITY. THAT'S
NOT THE CASE. SO YEAH, A LOT OF
SMALL BUSINESSES. WHEN YOU SAY
YOU HAVE TO CUT IT IN HALF.
THEY SAY WE CAN'T CUT IT AT
ALL. ALL RIGHT. WELL, JUST
PROMISE ME WHEN THEY DO REOPEN
WE'LL GET SOME OF THE YES. I
MISS JULIA. I MISS THE DAYS
WHEN I WOULD DO A FOOD STORY
THAT I GO AND JULIA HERE'S SOME
TACOS. OH, SO DO WE. YEAH, WE
DO. ALL RIGHT,
