• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and you know you're starting PETE this week, but your
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: body's try. That's why they didn't start you on PETE

  Speaker 1: part of the process.

  Speaker 2: I had neck plates put in because I had discs
• 3:23

• 3:28
  Speaker 2: put in two disks in my vertebrae and they also
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: put a plate with screws and stuff like that. They
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: went in through the front. So I was all bandaged
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: here and I wasn't allowed to move back here very
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: much because it had to heal, and I was sleeping
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: on a recliner and there was very little sleep for
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a while. It's an unfortunate thing, but it's but look

• 7:13
  Speaker 2: April shower.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: What is it? April showers, bring mayflowers?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but in Vermont it's May showers, bring June flowers because.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: We don't get it late May. Yeah, we don't get right.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: That normal weather and people, I know, Glenn and Stacey,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: you're gonna say, well, what's normal?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Normal is usually aprile showers, bring mayflowers. Yeah, and we're
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: not getting that. We're getting cold. And wait, dare I
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: say gray?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Did you just say gray? Yeah? You know.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: My husband says to me, I don't want to move
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: back to Vegas because it's all brown.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: The ground is all brown.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: There's not a lot of greenery, which there is, but
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: there's not all of greenery. Everybody's house has the desert
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: scenes in the front, so it's all brown. But in
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Vermont it's all gray.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Can we not get a bright color somewhere in this world?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Here's some positives. Glennis sings, April was trout season. That's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: a positive right there? Wow, Wow, that's trout season. Yeah,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: there you go. Come on, I know, I know, and
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not Jed would be thrilled. What about gardening?
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I love to garden. You know that can't do it
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: till maybe, and I have to wait until pretty much
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the end of May. What I usually do is because
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I have bulbs I put in the ground, and when
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the bulbs start to come up, that's when I know
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: it's time to start gardening and stuff. All right, So
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: this year I put gosh, like maybe sixty five bulbs.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: In the fall.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: In the fall, I put them in all different places. Okay,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: so beautiful, different colored flowers, things light, sixty five different.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Bulbs and amfella.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: So when I start to see them come up, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I start to see like the leaves on the trees
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: starting to come out bud right, But that's always a
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: false too, because we've had it where the tree started
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: budding and then we got a cold snap and it
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: hurt the trees because they're trying to wake up and
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: then they got cold. So in Vermont, it's kind of
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: like just sit and wait, yeah, you know, wait for
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: it to happen, and then when summer gets here, yeah,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: hurry up because it's almost over.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, here's another positive, and this is a big one,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and this you're gonna get very excited about. This May,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: which is coming up real soon, right, is Turkey season.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: And I have a flock of turkeys that walk in
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: my yard, so I'll just sit outside with a freaking
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: gun and pop one out.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: This morning, I was driving down East Copple Hill and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: there was a guy in his front yard. He had
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: probably at least a half a dozen turkeys, right, one

• 11:12
  Speaker 1: but it also is an opportunity for us to get
• 11:14

• 13:52
  Speaker 2: years old, she's very capable, very capable of riding her

• 14:24
  Speaker 1: if I promise you that I'm not going to crash? Right,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: he did not. He did not think that was funny.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: You know, surgeons don't find things like that funny.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: You know. When I went for my next surgery, I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: don't know if I.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Had ever told you this. When I went for my
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: surgery for a peer. When I came out of surgery,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I was pretty much paralyzed, right. I was like, oh
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: my god, I got very nervous. And my doctor was
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: there with Jed and he's testing my feet and nothing.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I felt nothing, and so he got very nervous, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I had to go back into surgery and he had
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: to open me up again, and he found that there
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: was a clot that from the surgery that had built
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: up and he had to drain it and retie it
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: and all this stuff. When I got out the second time,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I was fine, you know, when I came out of it,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: all everything worked. I went to see him post I imagine.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I went to see him after surgery for my stitches
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: to come out and all that stuff, and I said
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: to him, when you take the stitches out, be careful
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: because maybe I'll go paralyzed again.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Didn't think that was funny.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: He didn't find any humor in that, and I did.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I thought it was hys stoke. And his nurses were
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: there and they were laughing, and he was like, well,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: that was an unfit. It never happened to me before.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: And I was a little concerned, and I'm like, dude,

• 16:03
  Speaker 2: this complication.

  Speaker 2: And when the cat poops, it turns, it dumps it
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: all down and deneath and comes back up for him

• 34:21
  Speaker 1: your Facebook and you'll see it here around town and everywhere.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: M m. But you you just have a way of
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: allowing us to escape that and just be children, yeah,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: and just have fun. And it's so.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Funny because when I'm out in public, I always have
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: to be you know, appropriate and this and that. I know, Glenn,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be like, I'm sorry, when are you appropriate?
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: But overall, you know, I like to have fun. I
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: like to laugh, you know, and you're going through your
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: thing with your shoulder. I'm going through a medical thing also,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: and it's taking it out of both of us. I mean,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: with your shoulder, you got to adjust things and you're
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: tired by the end of the day. And your shoulder
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: and my medical treatments do I have to adjust around that.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: You know, when when I'm under treatment, I feel like crap.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: You know, I'll be on the couch all day. But
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: we have to find those times that we we make
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: it okay.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Can screw off.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's okay to make it okay, even if you
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: feel like shit.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay to make it okay. And if you
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: feel like shit, it's okay to.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Let people help, which is something I'm learning between my
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: neighbor and your wife. The two of them are just
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: they're keeping me above board on things. They're keeping certain
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: foods in me, all that stuff. So it's okay to
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: just be stupid sometimes stupid. Yeah, just just be stupid,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: not don't be offensive.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but let it go goof around.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't be.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: So don't be like the sergeants that don't know how
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: to smile. Yeah, right, clearly.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: I'm fine now, so you can smile about it, damn them?
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Can I can? I? You can do any you know,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I one of the And I just want to address
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: this briefly here. And I don't want to hang out
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: on this subject all day, right, but one of the
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: things that I wanted to ask you about and chat
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: with you about. And I'm looking for listeners to chime
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: in here drop a comment. On March thirteenth, I posted
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: up a photo of the old Beauveair's shoe repair shop,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: yes across directly across the street face that was like
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: an icon.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: That's everybody knew it was here Jed going there to
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: get his leather belts.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: And there's a huge sign in the window that says
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: coming soon beer and tobacco shop. Right, And I just
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: posted the the the photo that I took up on Facebook.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I've got one hundred and eight comments here and eight
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: shares right, most of which are a not overly enthusiastic
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: about this. And you can go through and and and
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: read the comments, which I know you have. He here's
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: here's my my quick two cents on it. I think
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: that and I don't know who is opening up this
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: this shop. Here's my my two cents, and I'll be
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: very brief on this. I understand what a lot of
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: people are saying. But at the same time, it's it's
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: a building that's that's not going vacant, and it's someone
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: who is starting a business, right, And it may not
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: be the one that you overly desire seeing on North
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: main Street, but it is a business and at least
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: it's not a building that's going to be totally vacant
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: and neglected and run down. Right. That's my two cents.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Do you have anything and you may not, but do
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: you have any thing that you want to say about that?
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: And if you don't, that's fine.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: You know, I have no problem with businesses coming into town. Okay,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see a little more diversity, but I'm
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: eager to get in there and with Jed and see
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: what beers they have, because Jed loves different kinds of
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: beers and things like that, so I'm eager to do that.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I just feel like Barry has a very select kind
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: of businesses that are in here. You have three pot
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: shops in Barry, in Barry, not Barry Town, not Mypellyer
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: because that's another spot. But you have three pot shops
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: in here that sell gummies and drugs and all that
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: stuff legally, okay, you have enough banks here to choke
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: a horse. Everywhere you turn there's another bank.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Then you have a plumber's place and a bunch of
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: empty buildings. And I just kind of wonder is a
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: smoke shop or that many pot shops or whatever necessary,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: and can we get some more diversity in because right
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: now what's happening is we're driving down the street. In
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: every section of street we drive down, there's one building
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: either on the left of the right that's empty.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: But if somebody's in Burlington, like we always say, oh
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: I'd love to go to Burlington and shop this weekend, Okay,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: let's go and when you get there you can shop.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: What about people in Burlington or out of state that says, hey,
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: let's go to Barry and do some window shopping. There's
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: really nothing to windows shop, which is disappointing.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Okay. I have no problem with this business coming in.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: I think it's great and it'll help people that love
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: different kinds of craft beers or whatever, and people who
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: may want to get smokes maybe at a better price.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: I just kind of wonder why Barry is so focused.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: If we're trying to get people back to mental health
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: and physical health, they're bringing a lot of smoke shops
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: in and to me, that's not necessarily the healthiest thing
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: for people.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, but what do I know.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Everybody those who smoke enjoy smoking, and I'm not going
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: to judge them because I was a smoker for a
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: number of years. Okay, I'm just saying I'd really like
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: to see some some more diversity of shops that we go.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: You know, you go to Montpelia, there's all different kinds
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: of shops. You've got the crystal shop that sells a
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: bunch of beads and crystals and they sell the witch
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: balls and all that stuff. You know, here, we don't
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: really have that. We have Aubischons and Nelson's. We got
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: a couple of choice restaurants and that's it. Everything else
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: is smoke shops banks. We just need more because every
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: strip mall in Barrie and everywhere you go, there's always
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: an empty building and that's kind of a nice source.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: So let's get some in. And I get it.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: We don't want to go to commercials, so we don't
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: want big businesses coming in here, which I think is silly, okay,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: because it'd be nice to have a TJ. Max or
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: a Macy's or something here that you can get different things.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: I like the you know, Bueno's kind of cool. I
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: like the place, I like Itali's yup is a really
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: cool place, yep. And I like the very city market
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: right next to that, right right.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: But that's only those things are. They're so toughed away.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: I really think Barry needs to let us put better
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: signs up to see them. Because one day Jed said,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that there was a deli over here,
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, their food is amazing. They
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: make great sandwiches. He's like, huh, I'll have to try it.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: I was like, Jed, you've been in Barrie for years.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: He's like, you can't see it. He's like, I didn't
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: know it.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Was there, you know. So I get.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: We like to signs up and they have to be
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: a specific way to complement the esthetics of Barry and.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: All that stuff.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: But people, we got to show these businesses off and
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: we got to take in businesses. Cut the taxes for
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: a while, do something with the taxes I have for
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: the first three years, right, you know, like they do
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: in New York and other places. We want to get
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: people in here. I get it, Barry, you're very greedy
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: for money. You're raising taxes all the time. You're making
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: us pay more and more and more every year for
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: bad roads. Okay, empty buildings. But once in a while,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: get a business in and if it's going to be
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: too much because your taxes, turn around and say, for
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: the first three years, we're going to give you a
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: tax break of twenty five percent or fifty percent to
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: get you started. And once you're in it for the
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: first three years and you're doing business and blah blah blah,
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: then we'll redo your tax quotas and stuff. I just
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: think that that it's important to get good businesses in here.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Not just smoke shops, not just beer shops, not just banks.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Let's get things. Let's make this a destination place. Because
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: everybody that comes up from out of state or whatever,
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: they go to Mumpelia and to Stow. Okay, even when
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: it's not snow season, they go to Stowe and Mompilia
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: because there's diversity of businesses. There's antique shops, there's all
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: the different things. And when they drive through Barry, they
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: blink and that's it, and they're like, oh, look this
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: building's empty. Oh that one's empty to what's going on.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: That's just my opinion, as they say on Glee, And
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: that's how I see.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: It, you know. And I've been saying this for jeez,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: forget it. I don't even know how many years have
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: been saying this, that it would be so nice to
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: have like a teen center or somewhere where kids after
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: school can walk with with proximity, can walk to some
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: kind of team center, come indoors during the winter, sit read,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: hang out, listen to music. You know. It's not a
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: full basketball court or anything, but just you know, maybe
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: a couple of maybe a what's that game that we
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: were playing there with foosball football game or something like that,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: you know, just someplace.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: And that's why I was trying to when I made
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: the Rainbow Bridge, I was trying to make a place
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: that anybody could go and play the air hockey or
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: use the computers to do research homework, or to hang
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: out and do their homework and stuff. That was my
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: original goal. It's changed a lot since then. Yeah, okay,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to say for the better or
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: for the worse. I'm just saying it. The whole theme
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: of that place change. But I wanted to open up
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: a place that people could just come and be right, okay,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: now you got to speak easy place over here or
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: that business place that people can sign up and use.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: What's that place? The very social club? Yeah, the social club.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: There, which I was very excited about until I saw
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: what the news are to be there and what you
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: get and stuff, and I was like, all right, that's
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: not really for me, but it's for a lot of
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: people because I see people going in there, so great.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: We've attracted a certain appeal. What about the other places?
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of smokers out there, I
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: get it, but there's a lot of non smokers.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: There's a there's a new place that I have seen
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: down in the plaza across from Burger King, uh huh,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: called Tobacco Wise. Yes. Yes, And I don't know if
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: you've you've so you know, I'm not I'm not a smoker.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I don't thape, I don't do any either. However, I've
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: been inside Tobacco Why, and I was really impressed. I mean,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: the product alone is unbelievable. Yeah, and it's clean. It's clean,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: it's new, the lighting, and they have a huge cigar room.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Now I don't smoke cigars, but let me tell you, man,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: it's like if I were a cigar smoker. Yep, that
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: would be my goal. That yeah, that'd be my place,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, and that's fine. The whole room is like
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: a documentary, yeah, you know, whatever the hell they call it,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: but it's pachically whatever. It's really really really nice.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I leached out to them. And don't get
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: me wrong about these pot stores and stuff like that.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: I have a medical marijuana cord and I have it
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: for my conditions, yeah, okay, and I don't smoke it.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: I like gummies and drops, Okay, that that helps me deal, right,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: So it's nice to have a couple of places that
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: I can go to get my drops and my gummies
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: and they all sell the same thing.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: You go to one place and they sell Foreben's drinks
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: even though they're in Montpellier and stuff, so they all
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: sell basically the same And they're only allowed to sell
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: so many milligrams perk okay because it's state regulated.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't need unlike Chuck, right, right, but
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Need three or four places when I could put something
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: else in there, A nice boutique in there for ladies
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: who are gonna go, Hey, we're going to go to
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: the opera house and watch such and such a place.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: So I'd like to dress up. So where do I
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: have to go? I have to go to Burlington for that?
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Okay. When we went on.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Our cruise, I did a lot of my clothes shopping
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: online and in Burlington because there's nothing around here. And
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: don't say there's a Walmart because no, for your style
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: of what you like. Well and Charylynne, you're talking about
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: wide variety. Yeah, well you got your sports jackets? Where
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: do you get them in Barrier and Burlington?
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: For the crews? Great point? Where'd you go? Great point? Right? Yeah,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: I understand. Right. So that's the problem.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: We don't have anything here that meets the middle class,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: upper class.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: No, we got a cater to No, No, we don't
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: have to cater to anybody. We need to put diversity
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: and let the people decide where they want to shop.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Taylor says, yes, it's great that there's a business going
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: in and the place won't be vacant, and I agree
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: with her. But like she said, we have plenty of
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: spaces to get beer or smoke shop items, yep. Which
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: means there's going to be already established competition, which is
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: going to be tough for them to go up against,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: and there's a good chance that they won't last long
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: because of that. Well, you got baron.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Everybody goes to beverage barn and there you can get liquors, beer,
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: anything hard side or whatever.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: So you've got that there and that's the main place.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Now, if this one is is gonna, I think be
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: a little different because it's going to be a smoke
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: shop for you know, nice things or whatever, and beer also,
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: so great, let's give it a try. I'm one for
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: trying any new business and giving them patrons. Go in
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: and check it out. Check it out, especially if you
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: enjoy beers different. Jed loves different craft beers. He loves
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: all different kinds, and he always tastes different ones, right,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: So if he sees one there that's different, he's gonna
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: be Oh, I'm gonna try that, and if he likes it,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: he'll keep getting it from there. Yeah, but can you
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: give us some other stuff? Can you give us a
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: nice clothing store. Can you give us a nice antique store?
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: Can you give us you know, can you give us
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: stuff that we can not little tiny store? What's going
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: up here where they're putting where what the wedding place
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: used to be for bride's dresses and stuff like that.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: We'll be honest.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's going in that spot is they're doing a
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: lot of remodeling.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: There, which is yeah. I don't know. They're ripping off
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: the whole front of the.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: They took the whole front off and they flattened it,
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: which is nice.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: And they put a beautiful set of concrete stairs and
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: walkway and everything, so you know, it looks grand.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to reach out to Bury Area Development yeah
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: one more time, yea, and ask them to come in
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: here and start talking about these things, because people want
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: to know. People want to know. They do. I mean,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: I just got a text here from someone who doesn't
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: want to post this publicly, but it's a little bit
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: of a rant about the Soups and Greens building.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yes, that has been dead forever.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: What's what's this, what's the latest? What's the style?
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know, well, we need to know, we
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: do we we the people, damn it, we need to know. Now,
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: there's a Chipoltley coming up by the mall. Well, I
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: don't want to call it all by that set of
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: stores up there, but near Walmart Central for mount Marketplace.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: It's not central for marketplace. There's nothing a market there.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: You got five below, which is little baby garbage. You've
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: got Holly Lobby, which half the community doesn't go to
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: because of the fact that they're anti gay and they're religious.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: And then you've got Walmart where everybody goes to get
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: their stupid little stuff. It's not a market, it's a
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: it's a set of stores in a building. Okay, so
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: let's go there first. But next to it, up by
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: the Senior centers and all that that they built for housing,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: they're putting into bolt let in there, and they're putting
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: my not my best choice, but a Starbucks up there.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Right, those are the Fox run apartments, which are beautiful. Right.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I would have chosen Starbucks, but hey,
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's building more places for us to go
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: get a nice coffee or for us to get a
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: nice meal, whatever the case may be.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Chapotle's.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: That like the kind of place that you can go
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: and you can get it done faster than if you
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: go to a restaurant. Yeah right, okay, so that's all great.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: Can we bring something down here, you know what I mean?
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: Can we give us something else? Because you have a
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Starbucks right in price Chopper, So now we got one
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: in price Chopper and then one at the top of
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: the hill.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Come on. Josh has a a good point here. He says,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: we almost got a home depot down by Price Chopper. Yeah,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: some years back.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: How stupid was that that we didn't get it?
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Protesters, Yeah, got the developer to back out. Yeah, we
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: almost didn't get a Walmart due to protesters and complaints. Right,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: everyone says they want more.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: Business, and then they complain, and then they complain and
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: then the complaints come out. Because not for nothing, the
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: home depot over here would have been huge. It would
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: have you know how much, Yeah, you know how much?
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: We would have gone there.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: Jed and I have to go all the way to
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: Burlington to get our home depot or down to westleb
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: And we make the trip because we like their prices,
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: we like their diversity of items that we can get
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: we can pick out a wash or dryer. They're not
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: this stupid little appliance store at the end of it
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: going into Berlin. Hey, it's a cute store, but they
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: don't have all the stuff that you would get at
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: a at a home depot or something like that. And
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: then the people said.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: Because what too much traffic, too commercialized? What Oh, because
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: then it's going to affect the little home stores over here.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: And come on, people, stop turning away businesses and start
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: accepting the fact that this is twenty twenty six. Okay,
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: we're not that old small town anymore. Okay, we need
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: to come up to the times a little bit. The
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: town can look quaint, but it's okay. At the end
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: of the town to put a home depot in or
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: something like that. They wanted to put a superstore in
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: for Walmart, they had to put the one they had
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: in because the superstore, Oh, we can't have all that.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: So we drive to Costco, Sam's Club, all these places
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: outside of Barry. We go to these places outside of
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: Barry because there's nothing here.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Ed has a great coming here, and I want
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: to see the look on your face. You're ready, Ed
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: says we need another tire shop. Oh my god, how
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: many damn tire shops do we need? You're right, and
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I know that's pure sarcasm, and I agree with you.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: How when they when that car dealer left and I
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: saw somebody was going in, I said to dred ooh,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: something's coming in here a tire shop, which, by the way,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: one block up there's a tire shop, and a block
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: from there there's a tire shop. What about part stores?
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why don't Oh there's plenty of part stores too,
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: So why don't we just put Hey, you know what,
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: let's put a tire shop in Barry two.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Busby isn't good enough? We need to go big.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, people, you're saying it like it
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: is well, because.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: I'm getting tired of living here and seeing nothing for
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: my dollar. You know, the roads suck. I don't care
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: how badly they try to fill it. You're putting cold
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: patches in the middle of the winter, and you're getting
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: the holes right back again.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: And they're saying that nobody can sue the town if
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: it destroys their car because they drove into a pothole
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: and the tire broke or something else.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Fish Fisher Road by eight or two Toyota get it
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: that intercept? Yeah? Wow, I take figure up. Do they
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: need to pause? Do they need to dig down like
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: ten feet and start start over? Yeah?
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, they need somebody who can guess what New
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: York guess what they get cold in winter?
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Two?
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Their roads don't look like this? What about the other
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: what about the hard wits roads don't look like this?
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: What about the other end of the mall? Like heading
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, if you leave the mall like and
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: you're heading out Berlinside there by Chestnut horrible, horrible where
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: the new Chipotle is going in and they.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: Just did they just did those roads.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: Oh my, Jed and I he said, you know what,
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: let's go this way because these roads are just done.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: And we got like halfway through it, and he's like,
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: these are like land mines, okay, and nobody people. It's
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: your tax dollars that you keep paying, okay, and yet
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: where's the production to prove it. Josh says, my thing,
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: I'm getting so annoyed with paying, Like Jen said to me,
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: I'm driving down these roads. Do I get a refund
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: for the shitty roads that I paid extra? Taxes for
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: and the roads look like shit. Can I go to
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: the town and ask for a refund?
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Comment here home depot would have been would have brought
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: so many more businesses here and shoppers. Yep. Similar to
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties when Harry's Aims Sayers Riches, Grossman's
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: and a full mall right here, right, you couldn't find
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: a vacant building in the area. Yep.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Well you know why they're vacant now, right, taxes are
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: too damn high.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: What's what's gonna what's gonna happen? This is why part
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: of the reason why I want Bury area development in here.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: What's what's being discussed about the mister Z's building? Yeah,
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: I mean Jen was just asking about it. I think
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: it was Jen just a little bit ago.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, disease building. It's the latest is empty and dead.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: You've got the what's gonna happen?
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Though? I do it up for Lee's what's going on?
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Are we going to take it?
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: Can take it down and make it a parking lot,
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: because lord knows, we need more parking for the restaurant
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: back there, because that that place gets packed in the
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: summertime especially, But what about the Salvation Army.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: That building. Yes, it got flooded. We get it. I
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: took a picture of it yesterday, put it up on
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Area out.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: But if it's not, if we're not going to use it,
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: let's do something about the eyesores, you know what, even
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: the windows. I was watching a home show. Not only that,
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: I was watching a home show where they go from
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: town to town and they fix the town's up. And
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: one of the things they did was they went into
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: a nice, quaint town like this, and everything was just
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: like this. All the buildings were they were brown stone,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: all that stuff, and they had a lot of empty
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: stores in it. So first of all, they did colors
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: on the buildings to give the buildings a certain pop.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: And on top of that, there's around here. And then
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: on top of.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: That, they put signs that came out of each building
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: over like over, so that when you look down your store,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: just like when you're in Price Chop or anyway, you
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: see these signs that tell you what's.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: In that aisle that's perpendicular.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, so they have signs that are perpendicular that when
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: you're walking down the street, you don't have to say, oh,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: what's this and you move out into the street to
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: read the sign that's stupid, okay. And then the empty
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: buildings they decorated them. They made them look like coming soon,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: this could be your space, and they'd have flowers coming
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: up for the spring or whatever, and the windows wouldn't
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: be just empty. They they decorate the windows with you
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: want to rent this space, coming soon, call this number.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: And they made it look like fun, so it wasn't
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: just empty hollow buildings that you're driving down looking at
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: ghost buildings. Yeah, they did something with the empty faces
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: to at least make it like, hey, you could rent here,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: or hey, this space is available for you.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: Call this number.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: Not those little stupid signs they pop in the window
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: that look cheesy and make us look like we're beaten
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: up town. Yeah, let's I'll head the whole thing. If
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: they want to pay me to fucking run this part
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: of it, I would because we need to We need
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: to decorate and upscale the empty stores. Not decorate with
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: Christmas decorations and Halloween. No, we need to cover the
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: windows three quarters of the way up with a sign
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: this could be your space, and have it nice and
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: decorated with whatever we want to put on it, you know,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: shoe shoe repairs in one picture and then on this
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: picture over here, ice cream. You know, so they can
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: get ideas of what can go in these buildings and
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: stop saying no to them, and give them a tax
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: break so they can get in there for the first
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: few years and get themselves established, you know, make the effort. Yeah,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: on their side, because we're tired of driving through it.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Every time Sheolin or Tracy says to me, hey, let's
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: go shopping. I'm like, okay, where do you want to go.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: Let's do Westleb this time, and then next time, you
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: know what, let's head up to Burlington to Church Street.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: Nobody says let's go shopping in Barry because there's nothing
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: to shop for people. Come on, that's my RAMT. That
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: shows you how passionate I am about that.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: Josh says Berry City isn't attractive to businesses high costs.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: Have moved businesses elsewhere because they have options. Yeah, and
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: says because they won't dredge the river. Nobody wants to
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: rent these buildings.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: And let's also talk about the fact that when you
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: drive it between Barry and Berlin, that stench Cherylyn and
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: I were driving through last week and She's like, I'm
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: so sorry.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: It's not me. It's the air.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: I said, no, I know. It's this horrible stench. And
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: once it gets in your car, it takes a good
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: ten to fifteen minutes of driving to get it out. Okay,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: And I thought I could be wrong, but correct me
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: if I'm wrong. But I thought last summer they did
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: something to correct that, didn't they They they they did.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they did, but it did something.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: It was on the three h two road to improve. Yeah,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: this is the uh whatever the jeez, what is it called.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: What is it called? Whatever it's called, you're gonna say that,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say the wrong thing. Yeah, whatever it's called.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: It didn't work. Yeah, because especially with the spring coming
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: and starting to warm up, you drive through that area.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: I literally, I swear to God, once I leave Barry
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: get to Beverage Barren, Yeah, I shut my heat or
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: my AC off completely so that it doesn't filter that
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: smell in until I get down by Dunkin Donuts, and
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: then I turn it back on because it's horrible. Glenn says,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: we haven't heard anything about it since they got the
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: money to do it.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Right, it was. It was the voters voted a bond
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: vote right to have that situation taken care of. Right,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know what. I don't I don't know what
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: it's called. It's called something I can't I can't remember. Well,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: it didn't work. The voter's money went. Well, No, I
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: don't think I don't think they have actually done it yet. Well,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: that's even worse supposed to be done working. And listen,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: our city manager has been in here, he sat on
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: that couch and he he has said, we got to
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: stop putting band aids on some of these big problems
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: that we have.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: Let's let's take the band aid off the roads. And
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: I am right the first time. I'm going to reach
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: out to them today and see that. Thank you Dan.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: Jesus if I have not had enough coffee this morning,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: the sewer treatment plant, Thank you Dan, Thank you. Why
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: was Why couldn't I think of those words?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: Because because there's so much there's so much going on
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: in the world, it's hard to remember every little thing.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: That's why we have listeners, and that's why we have
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: faithful listeners, because they are able to help us when
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: we need it. And right now to thank you Dan,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Thank you Dan. Yes, God, you're not getting anything for it. Dan,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: We're not giving you a gift car or any damn thing.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: Get over it.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: You'll get nothing. But here's the thing I need to
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ask our city manager Nicholas to come
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: in here and give us an update on you, yeah,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: because we'd like to know.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: And if he doesn't have an update, then just have
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: him say, you know, don't he don't have an update
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: right now. That's the thing though, I don't like double
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: talk and unfortunate, and Nicholas is not one to do
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: that for the most part. But I don't like politicians
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: who double talk. Yeah, you know, wouldn't it be cool,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: just once, just once, to have one politician.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: Who just says it, you know what I mean.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be nice for Republicans to look at Trump
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: and say you're gone too far?
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: Or hey, what's going on with the roads? I don't
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: have an answer for you yet.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: You just be honest. Look at this comment. I think
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: the homeowners around that area should have their property taxes dropped.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's what Jed said. He says he wants a refund.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: He's like, you know what, I want a damn refund.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: Because the roads are like shit. Now once you get
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: to Barrytown going Uphill Street, the roads become nice because
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: they know how to take care of their roads. Okay,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: but the line hang on a second. There's a couple
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: of whappers on Hill Street, right, a couple of there
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: below the Barry Town line. They're in the Barry City.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: When you're coming Downhill Street, there's a huge hall crater.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, that is so huge. Yes, I could swim in there.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: It's horrible. Have you seen the mermaid that's going around
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: the area swimming in some of the potholes. No, not yet,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: Oh you must.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: But what's funny is if you stand at the top
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: of Hill Street and you look down and just watch
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: the cars going down and up, Swear to god people,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: this is what you see. I'll do it this way. Okay,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: do it? A car coming down, a car coming up
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: head on, this is what they're doing. Yes, And then
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: if they get up to each other, then they're like,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: all right, which one is gonna move over and take
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: the beating.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: That's how it is.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: They don't know what you're supposed to be able to
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: drive rate on your side of the road, But going
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: up and Downhill Street before Barrytown. All you're doing is
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: dodge this and oh, here comes a car. Can I
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: speed up and get around this first? And that shouldn't
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: be the way it is for the amount of taxes
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: we pay, okay, and I'm in Barrytown, but not for nothing.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: I'm driving through Barry City. Yeah, okay. So instead of
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: being like, well, and that's the funny thing, because Barry City,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: in Barrytown, supposedly with the the board of whatever, the
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: boards that run you know, the politics and stuff, they
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: work in Unison. It's not well, they're Barrytown. We don't
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: deal with it.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: I pay my water, but I pay my water to
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Barry City. Okay, So they work in Unison. So there
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: should be no reason why Barry Town line it's nice roads,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: Barry City line crappy roads. This should be no reason
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: for that. And if you're gonna just cold patch because
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: you're too goddamn lazy to actually do it right the
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: first time so that you don't have to do it
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: again every year, if you're gonna cold patch, well then
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: get the hell up there in cold Patch that hole. Okay,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: do your job.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I'm good.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: And that's how I see it, people are like, holy shit,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: Jesus went on a ramp. You know, remember people every
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: now and then I got to do a ramp and
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: that was my soapbox.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: In through the nose, out through the mouth. Community Calendar.

• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: I love bingo, but I don't play. You know why

• 1:10:18

• 1:10:21

• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: It's a shame they're not still doing them here. But yeah,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: that's another political bs. That's the problem is everything is
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: so political and does any of the politicians want to
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: actually represent their constituents?
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: That's my question.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: Instead of trying to win over another party, can we
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: just focus on what you were actually hired to do?
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: That's the way I see it. I really think that
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: politics is much more important than people's personal needs.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: You know what it is though, it's more than take politics,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: break it down a little bit smaller than that. Right.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: What it comes down to is in this is just
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: my opinion, right, Hang on a second, Am I entitled
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: to it? But you are? Okay? Is clicks and pissing matches? Absolutely? Absolutely,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: there's too many, too much clicks going on. And it's
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: no surprise to me that Donny Brigg Fight Promotions would
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: say I'm funck this. Yeah, I'm out. You know what
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: else is going on up at the Burry Auditorium. I mean,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: there's a couple of great things that are happening out there,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: but you know, especially during the holidays with the huge
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: craft craft show up there, and I think the gun show.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of great things going on them,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: right but the farm show, there's one thing that's moved
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: to the Champlain Valley x FO. You know, yeah, I know,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: and it's disappointing. You know. It's this point. I'll tell you.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: When I was running the Rainbow Bridge, I was in
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: a ward. Never saw any of my award people come
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: in and see how I'm doing or what's going on
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: things like that. Okay, where are these people other than
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: showing up for the town meeting when they all get
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: to sit together and defend each other against the town
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: and throw a bunch of well, you know something we
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: can definitely look into and bab bah bah. I'm telling
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: you right now, people, and I know this for a fact,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: for a fact, and if you want to know how
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: message me privately. When they go into those town meetings
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: and they want to hear new business or whatever, they've
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: already made up their mind. You can go there and
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: you can put an amazing presentation in front of them,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: and they've already made up their mind because they ask
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: for those people to give them the information ahead of
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: time so they can process it and see it and
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: all that. Then they all make a decision, okay. And
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: then you get in there and you've got your speech ready,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: you've got your facts, your data, the sheets, all this stuff,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: and you get up in the podium and you hand
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: it out to them and this and that and you
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: do the whole thing, and then they're like, Okay, we'll
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: definitely consider that. But they already know it's not gonna
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: happen because they can't be honest about it. And I
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: know this for a fact, okay, because it happened to
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: someone I know, okay, And I don't want to say
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: who's there. What doesn't matter. The bottom line is we
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: should be going in there and they should be welcoming input.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: They should welcome it. That's why people go in there
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: so hostile and so angry, because they know they got
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: to fight real hard to get a road fixed or
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: to do whatever when they've already decided.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: It's not in the budget. It's not in the budget.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: We'd rather buy a bit building that's been sitting around
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: forever and spend this money without telling the town, instead
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: of helping these townspeople who are asking for diverse businesses,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: better roads, better lighting in the area. Okay, cleaner looking buildings,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: you know, is that too much to ask? Whatever the questions? Well,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: the cost money? Gee, this is just.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: Popping in my head right now. Whatever happened to all
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: the security cameras that were supposed to be put in
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: all over the city. Yeah, no, no, I'm literally I'm
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: asking does anyone know?
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: Well, they probably don't be the bud. Maybe they are,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: I just haven't. I don't know, No, I don't know.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: You know, over there, there's a building next to the
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: grills and all that stuff, and there's a sign from
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: you see over there, sign coming out. Yeah, that's what
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: they need to do on every building here. Okay, you
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: can from here, I can read it a perpendicular sign. Yes,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: from here, I can read it. So let's do that
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: going all the way down. Let's decorate the windows, saying
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: you can rent here and give them ideas of different
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: things that can go in that building. You know you've
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: got the place over where like you brought up soups
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: and greens, Let's decorate that window, assign and say your restaurant,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: your coffee shop, your bah bah could be here. Okay,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: let's do that instead of well we got empty buildings.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: Let's see if anybody has any ideas of what they'd
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: like to put in there, give us some ideas.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: Recruit. I remember, way back.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: When I did the Rainbow Bridge, the person who was
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: running the buried community that remember that young man that
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: was working there.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: Way back for b A DC Very Area Development. Yeah,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: Cody Morrison.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: Right, He actively actively was going to businesses outside of
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: Barry and trying to get them to come in. Okay,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: he actively did that and he brought businesses in. And
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: when I was opening up the center, he was there
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: weekly saying what do you need from us? Okay, what
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: do you need? Here's our standards this you must follow.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: What do you need? And I'd say, well this one
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: right here isn't going to work for me? And they
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: make adjustments accordingly. Okay, where is that now?
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: Where and I'm sure that's happening. I'm sure it's getting done,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: but we don't hear us see it. We'd like to
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: know what's actively being done actively not well, all these businesses.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: We need to get more in here, duh, don't double
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: talk us. Tell us what's going on because we live here,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: and Lord knows, we keep paying those taxes you keep
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: raising between school taxes. There's a lot of people that
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: don't have kids and they're paying school taxes. My neighbor Tracy,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: never had a kid in her life. They chose they
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: didn't want kids. They wanted to just enjoy life. Okay,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: she's paying the school taxes that keeps going up, and
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: she's like, why why does it keep going up?
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: Barry City or Barrytown.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: We're in Barrytown, but the taxes are going up everywhere.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: And I'm just you know, people, I'm not angry or whatever.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: I'm just kind of miffed. I'm miffed at how things
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: are being run. Okay, why is it that Mompilia has
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: a full stores? Everywhere they're all full? Why is the
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: stores in Burlington are all full? Why is it when
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: I drove through Rutland, all these storefronts were full.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: And we're not.
• 1:18:57

• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: we should all stand up, not just one or two people.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: We should all show up ice and do it.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: Look at the concerts in the park over here, they're wonderful.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: I don't go to a lot of them, but they're fun.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: They got food there, they got music there, and it
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: gets you out of the house, yep, and just sitting
• 1:19:32

• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: just at the fair that we have here once a year,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: but that we do interactions out on the street to
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: get businesses in Okay, where's all that stuff?
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: You need a permit to put a here on them?
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: Of course you do when you gotta pay for it.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: And then when you pay for it, where's that money going?
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: General fund? General fund? Right? Right? Yeah? Good good stuff.
• 1:20:13

• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing with G. Don't worry. He'll say
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: what you're thinking, Well.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: That's it, and it's not that I'm look, it's just
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: my opinion. Yeah, okay, But unfortunately are entitled. I am
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: entitled to an opinion. I am just check it. The
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: thing is with my opinion, though, I form my opinions
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: based on what I hear and I see and I read. Okay,
• 1:20:44

• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: say I don't like the empty building. I hear people talking.

• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: down the street with a friend of mine and they're
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: complaining about it, and then another friend I go out
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: with and they're complaining about And then I go into
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: town and at a restaurant while I'm meeting, people behind
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: me are complaining about it.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: It's a real issue.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: That we the people have, and I think it would
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: behoove our government here in town to listen more to
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: us and not tell us can't do it. There's nothing
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: more than I hate thing being told I can't do it. Okay,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: There's nothing more than I hate when we were remodeling
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: my kitchen. Jed said, I know you like that, but
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: I can't do it. I'm like, stop, there's always a solution, okay.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: And making us go through these roads every single winter,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: that's not a solution, that's a band aid.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: Like you say, yep, I want to say this. I
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: want to give a shout out to a couple of sponsors. Here.

• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: here we go to off insurance. Okay, you get insurance,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: and then when you're all set with your doctors and

  Speaker 2: this and that, the company decides we're now switching to
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: this and you're like what the f And they don't give.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: You an option. It's like this is it?
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, and they just switch on you, just like when
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: you're a bank card. Okay, your bank card runs out,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: it's good for four years or whatever. Now the date
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: has come, they send you a new card with a
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: different number. So now you've got to start all over again,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: contacting all the bills, places and everything else. You're automatic,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: so blah blah blah to change the number. Why can't
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: you just keep it simple?
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: Stupid?
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: If my numbers working fine for me, leave my number.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: If I have a problem with somebody breaking in and
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: get I'll contact you for a new card. But no,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: they know me. The insurance Judg's insurance switched completely as
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: of January. First, we're gonna be blah, I know. And
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: I was like, wow, now, don't get me wrong. The
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: hospital really really worked hard that you didn't have to
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: bring a new card in or anything like that. They
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: had it all transferred to the new insurance for everybody. Yep, okay,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: so jed and my insurance, which is through the hospital
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: that got switched automatically. I showed up. They said your
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: same insurance and then they gave that new name. I know,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: all right, but not everybody does that. No, and so
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know now with its new insurance if they
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: accept cleanses.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: Medicare doesn't cover eyeglasses or dental No it doesn't. No,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: you need to get a supplement for that.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: No, I don't have Medicare Supplement B ship Well, yeah
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: you've got. You've got pot A, Part B pot d uh.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: And then supplemental on top. Part D covers medications and
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: stuff like that, and A and B covers injuries, hospitalizations,
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: all that fun stuff. But no teeth and eyes Apparently
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: apparently you don't need your eyes and you don't have
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: well a lot of people and Vermont don't have.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: You know who? Do you know? Who? You did? You
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: know who? Just great stuff with with eyes.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: And that's him saying no, the Lions Club, man, they
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: really amazing stuff.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: Man. If you have, you know, an old pair of
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: glasses laying around, get it over to optical expressions and
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: they give it. You can donate there, and then optical
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: Expressions gives it to the Lion's Club and they repurpose
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: glasses nice, which is I think is so I mean
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: they do that with hearing it's too whichah Sherlyn says,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: I need to you do really yeah, but they also
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: do that with glasses, which is so important. It's so great,
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: and they've been doing this for like one hundred years. Yeah,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: well you need hearing aids for sure.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: Really yeah, you said what Yeah, because I used to
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: think it was selective hearing with you, but no, you
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: just don't hear anything.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was selective at one point it was, but
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: now biological yeah yeah. And then on top of that,
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: you also need common sense lessons. I've heard this before, Yeah,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: because like when we were on the cruise, Oh my god,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: you couldn't do anything without asking forrest.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: You were like, Charlyn, where's the bathroom? I need to go?
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: She's like, really, you can't use your eyes and find it?
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: Or Charlyn, what are we doing now?
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: JD?
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: I just told you what we're gonna be doing. Okay, Well,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: what was it? So you kind of need your attention
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: deficit needs to be tightened.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: Up a little bit, do you remember her yelling at
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: me on the cruise. Do you know anything about what's
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: going on?
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: Do you know anything that's going on?
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: Anything? Yeah?
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: One thing?
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Do you even know where we're going for dinner tonight?
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: Do you even know? Yeah? I didn't think so. Yeah, yeah, yep,
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: I know. Patty wants to spend the day with you. Okay,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: we can do that. Where are we going? She'll figure
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: it out.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we can't shop and barry, so we're gonna have
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: to go somewhere else if we want to have like
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: a little noch and something to you know, quench out
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: thirst and then do a little shopping.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: I ticked Patty off last fall, and I hope she's
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: forgiven me.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: Well, clearly she's forgiven you because she's not that shallow.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: That's the one thing I do like about my friends
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: is we don't hold grudges. Yeah, you know, there's so
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: many people out there at a hotel grudge.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was pissed and then yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: Look, all the ranting and everything else, it's all good,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: and sometimes it's good to get it out, and especially
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: when I'm speaking what everybody's thinking. But on top of that,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: you know, life is good. You know, I always say
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: when you wake up six feet on the ground and
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: not under Yeah, life is good. And the medical things,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: you know, we keep working at it and if it
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: takes us down, it takes us down.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: But then you rely on your friends.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: And people to be there for you. You know, when
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: I was going through my stuff a couple of weeks ago,
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: you were like, dude, I will come deliver free of
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: charge anything you need today, only free of charge. You
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: would always joke about that, And then the other day
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: when you weren't feeling well, you said, I'm not feeling well.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: I don't think I'm going to do the show today.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: And getting back in bed, the first thing I said
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: was what do you need? Do you need anything?
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: You know what that is? But we do. I think
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of people thought that I had a stomach bug,
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: you know what that was what? Honestly, I'm chalking it
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: up to just dehydration. Yeah, that could really mess you up.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: And I'm one that generally pushes water pretty good, right,
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: But man, it's like, I think I just got too
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: busy and wasn't drinking enough wine.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: When you were doing oxy codeine, which stays in your
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: system for a while, So if you haven't done it
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: in a few days, it starts to flush through and
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: your body has to adjust to that. You've got foreign
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: matter in your body. You're running around all over the place,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: You're working with clients who need a friend. You know,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: you're busy, and you got to stay focused on your
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: health first.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: You know, I've always been so busy, but recently, the
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: last two and a half months, I've really been just
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: vegging out. I'm letting my body tell me what to
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: do instead of saying, well, I feel nauseous, but I'm
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: going to go out anyway. Yeah, that only makes it worse.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: Glenn says, I should be drinking Guinness to get hydrated.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because at the same time as you're drinking that
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: to stay hydrated, you're also getting numb to the pain.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's a good call. I like that. You
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: know what you and Patty have in common, what a
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: whole heap ton of health issues for Patty attitude? Yeah,

  Speaker 2: You've got to live your life the best you can,
• 1:32:46
