  Speaker 1: which I hate to say it, but that's the only
• 1:34

  Speaker 2: Tell us who you are, where you're from, why you
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: want to win.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I like to send that song out to my partner,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Amanda Jo, because she's kind of nuts. But I love her.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I know this is kind of an alien theme because
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: it's X-Files, but it just sounds spooky. So what a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: great place.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: You should find the Unsolved Mysteries music.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: That gives me the creeps.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: We're The Morning Show. That's Amanda Jo. My name's Damon.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: We're talking about the weekend. I'm playing this because we
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: went on a ghost hunt on Friday and the spooks
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: showed up.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Hartford Elks Lodge, lodge number 19, which I did not
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: realize until we were there. That is the sequence of lodges.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: And it was the first. So regardless whether or not
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: you believe in ghosts, it was really just cool to
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: go into the lodge and see the, what they.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Called it, the ritual room. Because it was just so
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: old and so cool.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: There's a ton of history in that building. I mean,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I could spend all day there just reading things on
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the walls and looking at pictures and stuff, but.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we put a great reel together if you want
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: to check it out. Country 92.5. But the table that
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: we were sitting at where the Halloween party is going
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: to be on the 30th was pretty active. I think
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: we made friends with a ghost. I mean, that little
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: EMF meter went nuts at one point.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It did. Honestly, we were asking questions and it would
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: start going. And we eventually figured out that the ghost
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: was sitting in a seat because anytime somebody came over
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to our table and sat in the seat. It stopped.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: It stopped. And then they got up. I'm like, quit
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: sitting there.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: You're sitting on the ghost. You're giving that one gal said,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I just give the ghost a lap dance.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, you did.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: You did. But yeah, super cool. And again, the Elks
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: are going to be having a Halloween party.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: The haunted herd party. on the 30th. I'm very excited.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I'm working on my costume. You can buy your tickets, readingsbykaren.com.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: She was actually the medium that helped lead us on
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: this hunt through the building.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: And they had all the fun.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Equipment to measure the electromagnetic fields and to see if
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: you could get a ghost to talk to you. So
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: it was super cool. Again, you can check out the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: footage Country 92.5 on Insta. On Saturday, I went up
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: to Hubline Tower, as I call it, the A1 Steak
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Sauce Tower, because I couldn't say Hubline when I first
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: moved here.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: For the first time, I actually got to go in
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the tower. They were doing the Tower Tour Festival.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I would have gone.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: It was so cool. More history.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I learned about the Moscow Mule and the guy who
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: brought the Smirnoff Vodka, and they had A1 Steak Sauce there, too.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: So it was pretty cool.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: And then I'm a little dragon today because I had
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: a wedding last night in the 413.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. In the later afternoon on a Sunday.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't get I was in bed at 10 o'clock.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: That was late for me on a Sunday.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: So we're dragging. What else did you do?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Saturday was a fantastic day, mainly because of my wife.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: She's like, we need to do some things. And we
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: finally did it. Like we have these dressers upstairs that
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: we want to get rid of and turn this room
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: into more of a kid playroom and art room. And
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: so we saw that Conard High School does a thing
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: with Journey Home, which is a great organization. So we
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: load them up in the truck and took them down
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: there and donated them, which was a great way to start.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: That's great. And then I painted doors. I blew leaves.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Did a lot of stuff. It was fun.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: You blew the leaves, not the leaf blower?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Well, no, the leaf blower, which, by the way, is
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the greatest invention of all time.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: No, I actually like the visual better of you blowing
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the leaves.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was down there going.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Anyways, and then Sunday, the big thing was my daughter, Tessa,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: TNT Joke Factory, had a field hockey game, and she
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: scored her first goal. Get it, girl! Yeah, and I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: got there just in time to watch it. So, fantastic.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: She's got the taste now.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I know. I know. She was so happy. We're all happy.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Hope you had a great weekend as well. And if
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we missed out on anything and you want to bring
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: up anything, send us a note.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Sharing is caring. Send us a talk back.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Amen. And check out that video of our ghost time.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: It was crazy. My name's Damon. It is time for headlines.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: And here is Amanda Jo to do weather today. Mix
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of sun and clouds highs near 60 NFL. Two teams
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that people in Connecticut might cheer for. played each other
• 6:05

• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And the patriots won 26 to 19 giants lost to
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: the saints 34 to 27 90s con went down over
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the weekend uh 90 stars were all over the place
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: you know what when i was really excited that i
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: saw nigel from the nanny i saw carrie got to
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: hang out with him i don't remember he.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Was the butler Yeah, I don't remember him.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, the English butler. He was so good.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: So if you happen to have a celebrity sighting over
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: the weekend and want to share, sharing is caring.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Country92.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: 5 on Insta. And McDonald's, bring it back, the Boo Baskets.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: But this year, they're not the traditional Frankenstein pumpkin.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: And Ghost.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: What are they?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: They actually teamed up with Disney and they're doing Disney villains.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: So you got Ursula, Scar, Jafar, Cruella de Vil, and Maleficent.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: How do you say that? How do you say that, Damon?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Maleficent.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I think I used to call it Maleficent or something.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It was like, you're totally off on that.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Haven't you seen the movie with Angelina Jolie as Maleficent?
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I did not see that one.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's really good.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Is it kid-friendly?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I think so, yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Because I actually think the Disney movie as a kid,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I thought she was the scariest. But then seeing Maleficent
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: in the movie, you kind of see what happens to
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: her to kind of make her that way.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: You know what we watched over the weekend with the kids? Ghostbusters.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, they loved it.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Was Slimer in that one?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Slimer is in that one. Tomorrow, the TNT Joke Factory
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: returns with all new jokes. But today, we're going back
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: into the archives to 2023 for this joke. Joke time.

  Speaker 1: No, the name of the tour and the album.

  Speaker 2: And he wrote in the comments always wanted to do
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: that So it's pretty cool.

  Speaker 1: Every time I play this, it sounds like the end

• 10:19
  Speaker 1: for it. New music fry. Yay. And that is the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: scoop today. Coming up next, feel good story. I know
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that you will like it, Amanda Jo. Well, everybody's going
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to like it, but it refers to a place that
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you used to work at back in the day.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Aye.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Find out what it is about 15 minutes from now
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: here at Country 92.5. Country 92.5 Morning Show. Let me
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: introduce us. I'm Damon. That's Amanda Jo. And Roxanne, our
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: fetal show therapy dog down on the floor. Time for
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: today's feel-good story. In case you didn't hear, it's about
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a place that Amanda Jo used to work at. So
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: she's wondering which one of those places beat Jay's Wholesale Club. Hey!
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Worked there in high school.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: They're celebrating 40 plus years. If you've heard the ads
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: on the air, you know that there's a lot of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: good things they're giving away to the customer. But wow,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of good things for its hourly employees. Earlier
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: this month, they held a surprise celebration at all their
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: stores and distribution centers where they rewarded 30,000 workers with
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: gift cards, no less than 250 bucks and up to $ 2, 000
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: depending on how long they've been with the company. And
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: with 268 locations across 22 states, that ended up being
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: $ 25 million worth of stuff to their employees. That is fantastic.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: But you've said to me before, you really liked that place.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: You thought they were really good for employees.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: And the first wholesale club was in.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Massachusetts. Medford.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Massachusetts.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I remember working there in high school. And
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: what was cool, I think I almost remember what I
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: got paid. I don't remember what the.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I think the minimum wage back then was like six something.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: And because it was a warehouse and you're kind of
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: like lifting heavy, even as a cashier, I think you
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: got paid more than minimum wage. It might have been
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: like seven something that I was getting. And then on weekends,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: you would get time and a half on Sundays. So
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: if I worked Sunday shifts, I'd get like 10, 10
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: something an hour. And then this was great. And this
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: was like free money for me in high school. Because
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: if they were closed on a Monday, like Labor Day
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: or Memorial Day, which often they did, you would still,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: as an employee, get three hours.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Of holiday pay, which is double.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: So I'd be like, $ 14 an hour for almost $ 20
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: an hour for three hours for not working, free money.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: So they were always great to their employees.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: That's fantastic. I don't want to question your career choices,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: but if you were still there, you'd probably be an
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: assistant manager by now.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, I say that all the time about Big
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Y and I went from BJ's to Big Y and
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I love my managers at Big Y and I'm going
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: every once in a while. I was like, I actually
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: there's somebody that I worked with in high school.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Well, no, I was in college when I worked at
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Big Y.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: And I ran into him when I moved back home,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: and he is now the manager in Northampton, Massachusetts.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Good on you. Pulling down $ 65, 000.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: It's a nice house and everything. I'm going, what? Things
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: that will never go out of business.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: No, you're absolutely right.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Grocery stores. Funeral homes.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Right.
