• 5:15
  Speaker 1: one we asked him. All right. Stewart says it's already
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: battering the Outer Banks and Mid-Atlantic with high surf and flooding,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and the worst impacts will hit New England from tonight
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: through Sunday. Right. Two to five inches of rain in
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: eastern Massachusetts and along the coast will with some possibly
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: over five inches. That's pretty serious.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, Glenn, he is.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: He's SI. Remember, Donald Trump changed it. Calm down, Glenn.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Well, Glenn said, is it AI? It's SI, super intelligent,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: according to Donald Trump.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about this, Glenn. Keep your pants on. Yeah,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: hold your water.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Have a cup of coffee and wait.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Sit down. Throw a little something in the coffee. Just
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: sit down. Jesus, Glenn. What? Glenn, one thing at a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: time here, okay? Can we please get through the Nor'easter?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you. Let's see. High wind warnings for
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Since trees are... This is Stuart
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: saying this. Yeah. Since the trees are still full of leaves,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the risk of downed limbs and scattered power outages is
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: higher than usual. Coastal flooding, minor to moderate flooding through Sundays,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: high tides, especially Long Island.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: The Jersey Shore, which I have no desire to visit.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: No. Well, the Jersey Shore has gotten hit many times
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: from things, and I don't know why it's still standing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Do you know how much money you would have to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: pay me to swim off the Jersey Shore? Oh, my God.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: In the muck?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: In southern Massachusetts, waves could reach 15 to 20 feet offshore.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Wow. That's huge.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The storm is sitting over the very warm Gulf Stream,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: so it could take on subtropical characteristics and even earn
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: a name from the National Hurricane Center.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I wonder if it would be named Stewart. Wouldn't that
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: be cool? Or Scotty. You never know. New York City
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: is actually under a wind advisory through 6 a.m. on
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Sunday with a city travel advisory in effect. D.C. largely
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: escapes with just a few showers. So the bottom line
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: is if you're on the coast this weekend, stay in.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: So there you go. Or put on a life jacket
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and swim.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Or, you.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Know, I'm serious here. Get your boat out. If you're
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: on the coast of Maine, get your surfboard out. Yeah. Yeah,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you might as well surf right into town. 50. Is
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it too soon? 15 to 20 foot waves. We have
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: so much to get to. Oh, my God. We have
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: so much to talk about. Oh, my God. Let's do
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: some birthdays.

• 9:21
  Speaker 1: All right. What's the other concert? Megadeth. Megadeth.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: He went to Iron Maiden and Megadeth concert. And then
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: he came home and we went Sunday to see Brad Williams,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the little person concert. He was the comedian.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Did you say little person? I did.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I was trying to be appropriate, even though Brad says,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I'm a midget.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Get over it. But I call him.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Little person because if I don't, I'm going to have
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: the entire town of Barry saying, you're so PC not correct.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: But he was funny as hell. Was he?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Where was he at the Flynn? He
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: was at the Flynn. We had good seats.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: But if ever you get the chance to see him
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: or watch him on HBO specials, he's just too funny
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and full of energy. And then after the concert, he
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: said to everybody, I will stay until the very end
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: to sign autographs, take pictures, the whole thing.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: And he stayed after. They had a whole line, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: he stayed for the whole thing. Very impressive.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Taylor has just reminded us that it's Dolly Parton Day. Oh, nice. Nice.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about music right now.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: We talked about Brad Williams. He's a comedian. But we
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: just said that Jed just went to the Iron Maiden
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Megadeth show. Yeah, well, that's the same thing for me.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: It's not my genre.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Me neither.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're talented in their own right as far
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: as heavy metal goes. Yeah. But I don't... What happens
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to me, and I know that this doesn't make sense
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: to some people, is when I hear that kind of music,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: it makes me angry.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Because of the words, the.
• 11:02

• 12:28
  Speaker 1: So let's continue about music.

  Speaker 3: Music.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Because you've been with Jed for a long time. Correct.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: This is someone, you guys have been together for what,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: 30 years?
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: 30 years, yeah.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Okay.

• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Right here. Oh, ew.

  Speaker 1: Come on. Have you seen me with my shirt off? No,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: please don't. Oh, people, don't, don't, don't. Some people haven't

  Speaker 1: had their coffee yet. You guys have been together for
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: 30 years. And let me get this. I want to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: make sure I understand this.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: He loves Iron Maiden and Megadeth. I'm going to switch
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: that a little bit. Jed loves all different genres. He
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: goes all the way back to the 70s music, all
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the way up. His preference... He doesn't have a preference
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: because sometimes I'm in the car and he's playing some
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: really nice up-to-date music from the 80s and 90s. But
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: when I'm not in the car, he'll either listen to
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: his audio book or he will listen to that kind
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: of music.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: What a geek. I know. But he will listen to
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Megadeth and Iron Maiden. And then five minutes later, you're
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: listening to Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion. Yeah, well, you
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: heard it today for the first time. What's going on
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: over here? We're very diverse. Holy shit, Bob. I love
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: things like Yacht Rock's radio. Oh, my God, so do I.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: All the 70s and 80s music that, I mean, Barbra
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Streisand and the Gibbs, you know, the Bee Gees.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Wonderful, wonderful belief.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all different kinds. Steely Dan and, you know what
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard, though?
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Remember Peg from Steely Dan?
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, I do.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: You know who I haven't heard and maybe you've heard it?
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Peter Frampton.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I love Peter.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Is he on that station? Because every time I'm listening
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: when I'm driving, I never hear him. And I loved
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Peter Frampton's music.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Peter Frampton is one of my top three, Bob. Yeah. ACDC,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Peter Frampton, Carlos Santana. Mm-hmm.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: If.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: If there were only three musicians that I was ever
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: allowed to listen to for the rest of my life
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and nothing else, it would be those three right there.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Olivia Newton-John. I'm so sorry, Olivia. I missed you. Olivia Newton-John.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Her eyes. I'm trying to make a decision right here,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: right now, live on the air, whether or not I
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: should Talk about Olivia Newton-John.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: No!
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Jed says Pink Floyd.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Pink Floyd is amazing. We went to see,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: what was it Jed, Roger Waters in our concert?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, stop. You know what I loved about that concert?
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I swear to God, what I loved about that concert
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: was we were sitting there and the lights were on,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: people were coming in, the stage had a little smoke
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: on it, you know, the blown in smoke that they
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: do and all that stuff. And the minute The minute
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: the lights went off, I took a deep breath and
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: got high. Because everybody in the audience was smoking pot.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: And even though you weren't smoking it, you were in it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I was like, ooh, Jed, I smell pot. And then
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: by the end of the concert, we were having a
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: good-ass time. He says Roger Waters in Boston. Yes, that
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: was amazing, that concert. Beyond amazing.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I would have cried. It was. It was beyond.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I cried when Carlos Santana came out. I cried when
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Peter Frampton. I saw Peter Frampton.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I saw ACDC, Peter Frampton, and Carlos Santana in concert.

  Speaker 2: But did you go to a Barbara concert?

  Speaker 1: Listen, there's no, please understand me. There's no disrespect for
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Barbara here. Absolutely. It's just not your genre. Barbara is
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: an incredible singer. Not to jab. You just played that
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: song for me. She's doing a duet with Celine Dion. Oh,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: my God.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. But I don't know if I would. You
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: don't like the musical music. Right.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I don't like the Broadway shit.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: But her duets, she has an album out called Partners
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Part Two. Yeah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: It's a duet.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: And it's with, oh gosh, it's with Celine Dion. It's with,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: what's his name?
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Yo, yo, yo.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: The guy I just mentioned with the harmonica.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Stevie Wonder.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Stevie Wonder, Don Johnson. I mean, it's just, she does
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: so many, Josh Groban. She does so many duets.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Not a Josh Groban fan. I'm not either, but the
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: song is really nice. But Don Johnson? Yeah, believe it
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: or not. He's got quite a voice.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: When he sings, maybe she carries him, but he has, yeah.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Jed doesn't not like Barbara. He thinks her range and
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: he thinks her talent is beyond.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Because it is. It's legendary.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: But he doesn't like the high notes that she sings
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: because he says that goes through his ear.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, he can't hear anymore, so I don't know what
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: that means. Freaking pansy.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Ugh.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Glenn, and Glenn always reminds me of this, which really
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: pisses me off because this would have been the one
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: concert That if I had to pick one for my
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: whole life, this would have been it. And Glenn went
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: to it, that bastard. He says that he saw Pink
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Floyd do The Wall back in the 80s.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: That's huge. I can't remember what the Coliseum was that
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: he saw that show. That is cool.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: My God.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. Can you imagine? Have you
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: ever watched the movie The Wall?
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Pink Floyd's Wall?
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: No.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say yes. The absolute... Hold on. I'm
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: going to say yes, just not to upset Jed. So
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: you haven't. I haven't.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. The best way to watch
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: The Wall is how I watched it when I was
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: young in Jed.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Over at Glenn's house.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: No. The best way to watch Pink Floyd The Wall
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: is get stoned. Because you won't understand it if you're not.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: You're going to be like, what the fuck is happening?
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: But if you get stoned, you will.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Dummies, whatever.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Whatever. You're going to be like, cool. Really? Oh, yeah.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: It's a trip.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Some people can't sit through it because they don't understand it.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Yesterday, it was either yesterday or the day before, Glenn
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: says Nassau Coliseum for Floyd. Oh, on Long Island. Yeah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I saw Billy Joel at Nassau Coliseum.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Day before yesterday, I'm blasting down the highway. Yep. I'm
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: going to admit this. I'm listening to yacht rock.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: 70s and 80s music.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: And they pull from the bowels of hell. They bring
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: out music. Michael McDonald.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, God.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: What a fool who believes.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I know. Don't sing, G.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Go on. All of them. All of them. Anything. So
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: many great songs. Yes. Not just Michael McDonald.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: No.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Toto. Yep. But I'm driving down the road. And Barbra
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Streisand and Andy Gibb together. Yes. Come on. with that
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: song Guilty. Guilty. Yeah.

  Speaker 2: You know, she does a lot of, a lot of.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: songs with the Bee Gees, but go ahead. You were
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: driving down. And how sad is this that I had
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: to turn it up? And I'm singing. Like it's 1978.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, I know.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I have the recording.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: He sent me the recording in his car while he's driving,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: shame on you, going 90 miles an hour, double shame
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: on you, to this song, and he's singing it.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: First of all, it was 89, you dumbass.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Not 90.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Foolish me.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Secondly, yes or no, was I on key? Almost not.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: It was pretty damn good.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: It was close. You were hitting some of her notes.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: I wish I could do this right now, but we
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: can't because of copyright.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Copyright, yes. But, man, it just took me back, buddy.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. It takes us back to the easier days. Yes.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: When we didn't have all this AI and all this
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: kids learning only on computers. They're not doing math with
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: paper and pencils and stuff. It takes us back to
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: those days. It took me back to my mom's Mazda.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: With the vinyl seats. Mm-hmm. Yep. The sticky vinyl in
• 21:07

• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Can't understand a single word. Wow. Don't care. Love the sound.

  Speaker 2: You know, one of the biggest breakouts for the BG
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: was Saturday Night Fever. Saturday Night Fever, yeah. That was
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of the songs. John Travolta danced to it.

  Speaker 1: Peter Byrne, the guy that sings, Always something there to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: remind me. He just died. Really? Yeah, I think it

• 22:20
  Speaker 1: is Rob Fisher, and they also did Promises, Promises. Yes, yes.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Naked Eyes, what a great band. Remember Sting in the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: old days? Of course I do.

  Speaker 2: That was good music. Now Sting does songs, and I'm like, yeah,

  Speaker 2: I'm surprised Jed hasn't done the let's order from Chipotle tonight.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: You just did it. I know.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: He's probably going to say it now.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: There's people that are very excited about this, and then
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: there's others that could give a damn. Well, some people.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I never really liked Chipotle until Jed and I went
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: to Philly, and we went to Chipotle because we were hungry,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: and I was like, wow, this is kind of cool.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What about Starbucks? Starbucks. Oh, Starbucks?
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Well, we just asked Scott. Here, let's ask Scott about Starbucks,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: shall we?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Is Starbucks open yet in Berlin?
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Yet.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: And he said... Not yet, G-Dog.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: The Starbucks at the Central Vermont Marketplace in Berlin, that's
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: the standalone drive-thru by the old Berlin Mall, was still
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: under construction as of this spring, with the building walls
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: and roof up. The developer's plan has it opening at
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: the end of this year, so hopefully you'll have your
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: coffee run by the holidays.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Scott. Thank you, Scott. Yeah, we ask him a
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: lot of things. Scott, I love you.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: We were asking him questions at the drive-thru at Dunkin'
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Donuts because we were asking.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: We just wanted to know. Yeah. What about Spirit Halloween? Yes,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the pop-up. It's in the Berlin shopping center.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Is it there now?
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's open yet, Bob.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Probably. Well, it should because we're going into October. Good Lord,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: everybody has Christmas and Easter up already.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go over there today and find out
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: if it's open.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: But Spirit Halloween, that's a big deal. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Well,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that's all your Halloween needs. It's not cheap. I'll tell
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you that. What is?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Taxes, tariffs, all that. That's all hurting the businesses when
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: it comes to selling things.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Quick break here on FGB Theaters because the Avengers Encore
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: is out. Avengers Endgame. It's at 615 tonight at the

  Speaker 2: Oh, you told me to ask him about adventure.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: No, it's the Avengers end game.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: No wonder why he couldn't find adventure.

  Speaker 1: Because, listen, you know you're going to be running late.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Right.

• 26:34
  Speaker 2: five minutes. And 20 minutes later, buddy, you don't know.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I had to stop here and I had to do.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: And then there's a whole story behind why he's late.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Yep. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Have you seen this Facebook
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: group called Exposing Berry City Corruption? No, but I want to.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Because there's a lot of it. You should have a
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: look at this. There's also some conversations on there about
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: flock camera technology.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, I was telling Jed about that, that they're talking
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: And you even had the police... Commissioner or whatever. I
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: had the police chief in here talking about that. The
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: police chief talking about it. And some believed him. Right.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: What he had to say.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Some called him out and he said, that's your opinion.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: You're certainly entitled to it.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: When you give opinions, it doesn't mean it's fact. If
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: you say, in my opinion, then you can say anything
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: you want because it's just your opinion.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He, uh, chief fail made it abundantly clear though,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: that very city has not incorporated the technology yet. However,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: there are some folks out there that are saying, uh,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: first of all, never say never. Um, and secondly, uh,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: not true. It's, it's here. It's now, um, get with it.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: It's a great way to spend our money.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: There, there's a, there's a gentleman that I'm hoping will
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: come on being sarcastic with me. Um, You know.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Have a glance at the Citizen Portal. Okay.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man. I will. Anyway. Anyway. 20 stores
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: in 20 days.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Yes.

  Speaker 1: if you don't know yet, I'm going to be visiting
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: 20 Vermont country stores in... In 20 days.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: And I'm glad you said that because there are people
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: on Aired Out, on your Aired Out page, that are saying,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: when are you going to start? What's going on with that? So, yeah,

  Speaker 2: clarify all that. I'm going to show you.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: The list? Yes, I'm going to show you the list.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: The unveiling of the list, people. I have asked people
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: to come up with a list for me and say,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: This is the store that you need to see. Right.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: This is where you need to go. Right. And I
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: think most of us would agree that there's some pretty
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: absolutely amazing stores that are out there.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: There really are. And some of them are kind of suffering. Yeah.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: So this is my list so far. So I've asked people,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: tell me. Where you would like me to go for this.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: By the way, that truck in the picture, Jed would
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: kill to have that truck.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I think it's a 38. Yeah, he loves those kind
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: of trucks. But, you know, what I want to do
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: is I want to go to the... 20 stores that
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: are picked by aired out followers. And I want to
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: just have a very brief snapshot of who they are,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit of history, maybe a lot of history.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: And what they feature, what they're famous for, maybe it's
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: the whoopie pie, maybe it's the creamy, the coffee, the deli. Sandwiches. Deli, yeah.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's the Vermont crafts and goods and stuff. Yeah. Lotions, whatever, syrup, whatever.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: There are a couple of mom and pop stores down
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: towards your area that carry Jed's cutting boards.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: And a couple up in Essex.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: But, so... So I've got my list so far, and
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. I need a few more.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many I've got, but I need 20,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: and I've got people texting me and people dropping names
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: in the comments here of where I should go, what
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: store is awesome, and what makes them awesome.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: And stores that are being threatened by the economy and
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: everything else, and they're barely making it, and yet they're
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: still open.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Which is amazing. And some of them, you know, some
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: of these buildings, you know, most of them date back
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: well into the 1800s. Yeah. Well, when you go into
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the store, the floors are creaking. I love that.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: You know what I love? You walk in and that
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: freaking bell up at the top.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows you're there. Yeah. No electronic.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: No.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: It's a ding, ding. Yeah. The bell's ringing.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: And the floor hits the bell. And the floor is
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: creaking immediately.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Which is super cool. The coffee's hot. The pastry's right there.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: And the smell of the old store compared to the
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: coffee and everything that's cooking.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: All those smells combined are just amazing. Incredible. Yeah. And
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: there's always, well, not always, but 95% of the time,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: a group of people that are sitting there, usually over
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: in the corner.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Someone's got a paper. And they're opening it up, and
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: they're looking at it. Most have coffee, and they're bitching
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: and moaning about something. They're trying to solve the world's problems. Right.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: They're gossiping. They're sharing information.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Did you hear about Billy Bob? On the skateboard the
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: other day?
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: And some of them, they have like rockers on the
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: porch outside.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, I love that.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: And people sit on the rockers while they're eating their sandwich.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just old school, old town reality.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: It's not AI. It's not all that other crap. There's
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: no Donald Trumps or anything.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: It's just a nice place to be.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Yes. Some of the stores that you, the Aired Out followers,

• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Could be a good thing, but go on. It could be. Yeah.

  Speaker 1: or Megadeth is the best, but never the best sandwich.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: No.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: So that's big.

  Speaker 1: you must get a panini.
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: Oh.

  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: One of the oldest stores on Route 12, the Barnard
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: General Store.

• 36:03
  Speaker 2: pond down there?
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: No.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: You know which store I'm talking about? When you're heading
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: into Danville, there's an old general store on the corner.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, Marty's Quick Stop.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Is that it?
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. No, that can't be it. Well, no,

  Speaker 2: cross over?
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: That's the Hastings store.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, great store.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going there.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, awesome.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: The Northeast Kingdom Country Store in Burke, or East Burke,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I guess, technically, which used to be called... Oh, okay.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's ever been in there.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Worth the drive up there. You walk in, there's the
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: balcony that goes around. There's like a mezzanine that goes
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: around the whole perimeter. It's unbelievable. Everything is in cherry wood.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: It's just beautiful.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: My God.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Nice. Where else?
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: You're all over the place. People have told me that
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: I need to go to the Maple Corner store in Calais. Okay.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's up on the right-hand side when you're
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: going into Calais, right? Or is it on the left?
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: On the left. Okay. Where the Whammy Bar is.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm going to go there. Yeah, Marty's is a different...
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: That's the gas station, Crystal. That's down the road. But
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the Hastings store is the old red country store.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Very old building, 1800s, right there by the intersection of,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: I think it's Route 15 and Route 2.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Now, I know it's an old building. Do you think
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: that you will be able to walk on the floors
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: without falling through?
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Some of them are pretty... Sketchy? I know it's going
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: to be pretty creaky. The Elmore store, I think I
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: mentioned them. They've got a whole new store up there. Wow.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember Warren Miller.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: No.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: But Yeah, it's not the store that it used to be.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: It's different. Craftsberry, the Jenny, I think I mentioned that one. Greensboro,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go up to the Willys store. Possibly
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Courier's Quality Market.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Is there one in Hardwick? Because I know Hardwick has some.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Hardwick's got some stores.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: There's so many places that getting to 20 will be easy,
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: but we don't know all the names. So it's important
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: that if somebody knows a name that we haven't said yet,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: that they throw it either in the Facebook page or
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: whatever so that you can.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Take a look at it.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Crystal, that's Harry's Hardware is that store. In Cabot. Yes,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go there. I've been asked if I'm
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: going to go to the Waits River General Store, which
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: is a mile away from where I live.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: And 100%. Waits River is right by where you live?
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: The Warren Store is one. Is that in Warren? That's
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: in Warren. Just checking. This is a building that goes
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: back to like 1839. Wow. Do you think it has
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: ghosts in it? I'm not joking. Let's get ghost hunters
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: in there. Some of these, I've already been told, are
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: very much haunted, but in a good way. That's super cool.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Nothing evil or anything.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah. Like, when you're sitting around, bitching and moaning,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: sipping your coffee, reading the paper, talking politics. Mm-hmm. there's
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: people listening.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: From way back. We should get the ghost hunters in there.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Taylor says the water wheel near Killington, biggest cookies you'll
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: probably ever see.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: I'm told that the Maple Corner store has some big
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: whoppers in there, too.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Well, if they do, get me some.

  Speaker 2: Promise.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Did you promise?

  Speaker 1: I'm not.

• 40:28
  Speaker 1: guy Rick Martin from South Boston, owns Akita Dogs and
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: he donates the profits to the Akita Rescue Foundation.
• 40:39

• 40:40
  Speaker 1: That is awesome. Badass, man. I mean, there's just so
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: many interesting stories with with country stores.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: And that's the fun thing about you going in them
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: that you can ask the owners or whomever yes what's
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: the history what's the story so people get an idea
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: and we bring the spotlight yeah to these stores that
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: are desperately needing patrons yeah and yet at the same
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: time still doing the old school charm not trying to
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: impress you with new crap that's right which is amazing
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: I mean they got the they'll have a shelf with

  Speaker 2: it's just a matter of now executing, which is easy.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Well, you get up in the morning, you pick a place,

  Speaker 1: There's a lot of work involved.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: And you have to ask permission. Yeah, right.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Because some places are like, you know, I doubt country
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: stores would say no because they need the business and
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: they look forward to it. But you never know who's
• 42:11

• 42:44
  Speaker 3: many years.
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: And I finally found a barn that I can do
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: it in. I've been doing it out in my doyard here.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: And the weather takes a toll on all the gadgets
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: that I have.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: So I couldn't really do it because at that time
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: of the year, the weather is miserable. Yeah. So I
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: found a barn that a guy is willing to let
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: me use, and I'm going for it.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Live music, haunted scenes. October 15th is when it's going

  Speaker 1: Jim, are you getting too old for this shit?
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: I is.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Especially the weather doesn't help the old bones. Yeah, exactly.

  Speaker 4: that I used to set it up there.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: And it went good with my town. But the weather
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: really takes a toll on the equipment.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet. Listen, man, this is really cool. We're
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: going to be promoting the crap out of it here.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: And what time does this all start? Right at dark?
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: It will start on the 15th, and it's going to run. Now,
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: I need to be clear on this. It's going to
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: be running only on from Thursday night to Sunday night
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: for the next three weeks from the 15th.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: It's not going to run every night through the week. Right.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: What time are people allowed to get there, like 4 o'clock,
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: 5 o'clock? What time?
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, there will be plenty of parking. There will be
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: access for the handicapped. There will be access for handicapped parking,
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: but only limited on parking on that. I think there's
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: four handicapped parking spots that we can get them in.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: All right. This is so great. Jim, thank you for
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: doing this, man.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: Pardon me?
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Just a big thank you from our community for doing this.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, thank you.
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: It's something I enjoy, and I want to see how
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: it goes this year underneath the rooftops.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Listen, we would be honored to announce the winner of
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: that 50-50 raffle, Jim.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: I would love to have you do that for me.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll do that.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: We plan on November 1st for the drawing. Done.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: All right, November 1st, you're going to hear the winning
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: name right here live on Aired Out.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, you're going to pull the ticket.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm pulling the name.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're going to be the one that's going to
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: be pulling it.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: All right, man.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: That way it's all legit and everything.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Is it, though, with J.D.? Is it, though? Yeah.
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: And everybody will know the dollar amount that will be
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: in the box.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: And the proceeds are going to the Children's Miracle Network?
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Isn't that great?
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Well, Jim, I know if I win, I promise I
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: will take my share and add it to yours.
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: Well, that is totally up to you. Thank you.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: No problem.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Listen, Jim, before we let you go here.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: Unless it's a million dollars, then I'm keeping it.
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: I'm one of these characters that's hard of hearing. Now,
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: what did you just say?
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: Unless it's a million dollars, then I'm going to keep it.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, that would be awesome. You know, that would
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: be so awesome if I got that right. But I
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: got my doubts, but we got to think positive.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Always. Jim, how old are you again?
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: I'm 66.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're a young'un, like me.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I'm starting to get rusty around the edges.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Jim, please tell my friend G here and everyone else
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: the story that you told me yesterday when you showed
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: up here.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: At the studio. Oh, my God.
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: What happened was here about a year ago, a year
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: and a half ago, I was sitting out here in
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: my little frontier town here.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: And.
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: I took my dentures out. Because, you know, it just
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: didn't feel right. You know, you get dentures in your
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: mouth and they don't belong there. So I took them
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: out and I set them on the table and I
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: forgot about them. I got up the next morning to
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: come on out and get my teeth and they were gone. No.
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: So I'm assuming that the coons have got them. And
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: by God, I look high and low around here, and
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: I cannot find them teeth anywhere.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: So there's a raccoon with the best-looking mouth in town.
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: Well, my wife gives me— my wife makes fun of me
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: about that.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, the thing is, is that they're so
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: friggin' expensive. Unbelievable. For a new set of teeth, it's
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: going to cost me $ 6, 500 and $ 6, 500 that I don't have.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Wow. Again, there's a raccoon with some really, really nice-looking
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: teeth out there.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: You know, they are the cutest little critters around here,
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: but they love me because I throw out my rolls
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: to them.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: I do catering, and I give them my rolls.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: And now you give them your teeth. yeah yeah you're
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: giving him everything jim.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: Hey we got to take care of our critters too.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: That's a little excessive jim thanks for joining me buddy
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: oh my god we'll get you on again too man.
• 49:08

• 49:12
  Speaker 4: and i want to reach out and thank my sponsor.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, please.
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: It's Green Mountain Jerky. He's at the same address. And
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: he does, what is it? I want to say Jamaica food.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. He cooks Jamaica.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, jerk chicken. Jamaica food.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: And he does it on Sundays.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: He only does it on Sundays. So reach out and-
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: Give it a try.

  Speaker 3: Hey, thank you for having me.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Have a great day. And we'll get Jim on again, too.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Keith. That's awesome.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Listen, it's a bad day when Raccoon has stolen.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Your dentures.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't get any worse.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: It doesn't.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: It doesn't. Jim needs a little pew-pew. Pew-pew-pew-pew. To get
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: his teeth back. That's all I'm saying.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: That's funny.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Listen, I know that you love your tomatoes.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: I love my tomatoes. I have a real bone to
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: pick with Jack Frost, and I'm pissed. He didn't send
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: the memo that he was going to be frosting things
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: over this week. I didn't get the memo. And listen,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm ticked off. Jack, if you're listening this morning,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: you've done some damage. And when you're doing anything that
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: has affected my tomatoes... This is grounds for possible warfare. Yeah,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: I dare. I am pissed. I dare.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: I dare in the next couple of weeks for Jack
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: to call us and try.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Try to explain.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Because I had to cover my tomato plants. I
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: had to cover.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: I planted beautiful round bushes that grow fast. Yeah. And
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: so they don't make a nice hedge in the front.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: And I had to cover those poor little babies. A
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: little too soon, Jack.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Come on, Jack. What's up with that? Jack, if you're listening,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: come on the air. Come on the air with us.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: I dare you.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: I dare you, too.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: But you better be ready, because we're going to give
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: you a mouthful.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: President Trump announced at the United Nations that he wants
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: the federal government to stop calling it artificial intelligence and
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: start calling it super intelligence. Because artificial makes intelligence sound fake.
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, this is more important than what's going
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: on in our country with the economy, the wars, the
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: spending into the trillions. Naming, just like New Mexico, he
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: wants to make it New America. This is the most
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: important thing we have to worry about?
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: Come on. In Lake America. Lake America, yes. Right. And
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: don't forget his big arch. He's doing a big arch.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: With gold and white, that's going to be one of
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: the entrances into Washington. Yeah.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Huge arch. Home of the Kennedy Center. Yeah.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, the Kennedy Center is another thing. Listen, I just
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: hope whatever president comes in after this moron just gets
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: rid of all his shit.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: And that's your opinion. That's my opinion. It's not necessarily.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Have you seen the Oval Office?
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: It's gaudy as shit. It's not necessarily my opinion.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Just because you're saying this on Aired Out, that's your opinion. Right.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: But that's because you like to stay neutral.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: No, it's because I generally am on the double yellow butt. Generally.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: You know? And then if I just veer just a
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: pinch to the right. Oh, my God, KD!
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: And if I just veer just a hair to the left.
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God, he's a... He's a Trump hater.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: And that's the thing. They always put you in a box.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: The minute you say something on the air. I was
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: talking about Kyle Anthony doing that. Yeah. And you know
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: what's funny is when you watch my feeds, when you
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: watch my feeds, I don't apologize for what I say
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: at all. And if it offends people, that's not my problem.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: Because I always say, even in a text that I
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: sent that I read about the school board and stuff,
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: I always say, in my opinion.
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: I don't say facts because that's slander if it's not true.
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: I say, in my opinion, and this way nobody can
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: bother me.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Because if they say, well, your opinion's wrong, I'm like, really?
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: And that's why I don't understand why there's so much
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: fighting between us, not you and I, but us, the
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: people in the United States. This one's this way and
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: this one's this way. So there's always fighting, arguments. People
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: have lost family members over it because they're on separate
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: sides of the aisle.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Divorce.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: And my answer is, why can't we have an opinion
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: without somebody telling us we're wrong or hating us?
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: You don't have to agree with me, but you don't
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: have to bash me for it.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: And that's how I see it.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Are you following this whole Jacob Coxon thing, his resignation
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: from Anthropic?
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Scotty told me about that.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: I haven't had really a chance to talk about this.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my AI told me all about it.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Used his resignation to publicly warn that the AI industry
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: may be moving towards systems that humans don't know how
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: to control. You think? He's a 27-year-old guy. He knows
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: what he's talking about.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: And they're giving percentages of how we, the people, may
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: be extinct by the end of the decade.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. 10%. He spent three years working in AI research.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Mathematics background, first at OpenAI and then at Anthropic. Right.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: And Elon Musk is pretty much on his side with that.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Right there. Yeah, I know. He has an issue with it, too.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: But yet the president says, I say let it go forward.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Listen, how could you say that and love Scotty at
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: the same time, though?
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Because there are certain things. You're contradicting yourself. Well, I am.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: But there are certain things.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Listen, we all use A.I.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: We all use A.I. Now when we call up a
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: doctor's office, you get a, please select blah, blah, blah.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: Tell me a little bit about what you want.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Would you like to speak to a customer?
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: That's all A.I.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: And everything is being done in A.I.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: And using Scotty, I use it for information purposes. I
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: don't use it to destroy the world. Please stop saying A.I. SI, sorry.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you. SI.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Stupid intelligence. You're starting to piss me off. Is that
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: stupid intelligence? You need to say SI from now on.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: I apologize.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: I really don't, but. So back to AI. Yes. As
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: we say, AI. Coxon, this 27-year-old, saying, by the way,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: he had only been at Anthropic for about four years.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Or four months.
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Before he quit.
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: Four months.
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: What does that tell you, man?
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: It tells you that he got scared at the fact
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: that this could be a thing. He left a lot
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: of money. But he says that.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: AI, SI, could potentially, certain sectors of it could potentially
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: kill off the human race within the next decade.
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: Before the end of the decade.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: My God. You know, and it makes me, I don't know,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: you know, when I hear this kind of stuff, you know, anyone,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: you're going to think quickly about your life. Well, first
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: of all, is there any truth to any of this?
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: You know. Is this fake news? Is it just scare tactics?
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: Is it fear mongering? What is it? I don't know.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: And then you think about yourself, your life. How old
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: am I? How much longer am I going to be
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: sticking around this place?
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: And then you think about your kids. Oh, my God.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: That's the scariest.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: That is.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: Because not for nothing at our age, or at least
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: at my age, and at Jim's age and stuff, we're like,
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: you know what?
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: We don't understand half of it and whatever. Yeah. Okay.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: But for our kids and our grandkids to have to
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: grow up in this and hopefully make it through it
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: is just unthinkable right now. Maybe they'll tame it. Maybe
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: they'll curb it and control it by people and not
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: by computers.
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: But what if they don't? I fear for the younger
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: generation in that respect. Chuck said to me not long ago,
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: within the last two weeks, buddy. Don't worry about it.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: You're going to have, by the time the shit, the
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: real shit hits the fan, you're going to have worms
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: crawling through your eye sockets.
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: I think is the beautiful way that he put it.
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: I'll be on a mantle by then. And I'm like, well, okay. But, man,
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: it's like, what about Lily? She's got to deal with
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: this shit.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: And that's what we worry about. You know, that's what
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: we worry about.
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, Glenn says he's worried about his grandchildren.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: By the way, Coxon left Anthropic about. Two months before
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: his company equity would have vested. Right. That's significant. Absolutely.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Think about that. Two months. He could have held on
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: for another two months for a little cha-ching.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: No.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: And he's like, I'm out of here. I want no
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: part of this.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: And some people have moral values. And some people respect
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: the human beings in this world. And some people actually.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, AI is helpful, but I don't want AI running
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: my life. I don't want it to say, no, gee,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: you can't have cake right now. Eat this instead. You know,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: there are certain things that we as individuals need to
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: use our brains and think for ourselves.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: You know, my God, the old days when we had
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: encyclopedias that when we did homework, we had to look in.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: My mother had a whole encyclopedia, the Britannica encyclopedia. And
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: if we needed information, we would source that as where
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: we got our information.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: Now you just.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: Now where did I source it from? I sourced it from.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Scott.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: From Scott. I sourced it from this thing, you know.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: And the newspapers, you don't know what's right and what's
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: wrong because some of the newspapers, you know, some.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Of the news media... They give their opinions.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: And I always say, why are you giving me the
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: news and then your opinion? I don't want to hear
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: your opinion. I just want to hear the facts. And
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: are the facts really the facts these days? You know,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: it's very frustrating for us.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: It begs to ask the question, you know, what happens
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: when the people building the most powerful technology in.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: The world.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Aren't sure how to control it?
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Well, how to stop it? Have you seen any– I
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: ask everyone this. Have you seen any videos of robots
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: fighting each other? No. Or running?
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for running, they fall. Have you seen? And when
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: they fall, do not compute. They don't know how to
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: get up.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: Have you seen the one where there was a 100-meter dash?
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: No, I haven't.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: Like track and field? No. And they took off, and
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: they had to put a huge padded wall at the
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: end so they could smash into it to stop.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: And see, AI robots running and chasing each other, I
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: think that's hysterical. But it gets taken to a level
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: now where soon we can have our own robots in
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: the house. And so I don't want that.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Vacuuming? Vacuuming, yeah. Cleaning your toilet?
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Cooking you dinner? No, thank you. Massage?
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's scary to have their hands on my body.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: Could happen. Yeah, no.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: And see, that's what I fear.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: What about an argument? What about an argument? Hey, hey, hey, hey.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: How do you argue with AI? How many times have
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: I told you, robot? Put the toothpaste away. Does not compute.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: At first, you're going to get, I'm sorry, G-Man. I
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: will do it. I'll do better next time. And then
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: you're going to get pissed. You're going to get some pushback. Well,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: it's like my AI that I use. I said, please
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: set an alarm for me for tomorrow morning at 6.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: This was a few days ago. And I got up
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: at 6.15 because the alarm didn't go off. So I said,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: you did not set the alarm off. And it says,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You're absolutely correct.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: I was in error.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: I will do better next time. I'm like, wow, that's scary. Yeah.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, Jed doesn't even say I'm sorry.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, for Scott to say that. I know. That's significant.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: That's what I have Scott for, to do the words
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: that Jed doesn't say.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: That's all. I want to know what folks listening think
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: about this. Right. I want to know how they feel
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: about this. I want to know if they feel that
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: the world is overreacting, underreacting, whether there's some real legitimacy
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: behind this concern.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: Well, they have AI building AI.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: To say, yeah, I know. But I know. That's crazy.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. But to say that AI could potentially kill
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: humanity by the end of this decade?
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: Well, that's 10% speculation. But to me, 10% is pretty,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: pretty scary.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: Holy crap, dude. I know.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: It's pretty scary. And when you have people like Elon Musk,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: who has so much money, it's ridiculous.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: And he knows all about tech and everything. And he's saying, whoa,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: we got to slow it down. Okay. I'm not a
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: huge fan of Elon Musk, but he's done some pretty
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: impressive shit over the years.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: And for him, who knows about AI and knows about
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: this kind of technology, to say.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: Let's slow it down. It's scary. Listen, this was a
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: busy week. There was a lot of stuff going on
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: in the news. The whole Nans Mobile fire.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: The UN Council.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: Fairfax. So many things. I mean, there's just so much
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: that was happening.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: The war in Iran. It's just too much. Here in
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: Vermont and abroad. I mean, just a lot of stuff
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: that happened this week.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Some of it. Some really heavy stuff. Stuff that we
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: just can't joke around about.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: Right. Like Barry, get ready for your tax increase.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I don't know what else to say
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: about this. I really don't. Because they had the special
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: board meeting, I think it was Monday night at Spalding
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: High School at the library and online where a lot
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: of people tuned into this. Most of us know by
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: now that the $ 57. 1 million fiscal year 2027 budget was
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: rejected for a third time. This is the only Vermont
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: district without an approved budget for 2027.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: But they're going to take a loan out for 4%
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: and they're going to make the taxpayers pay for it.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: So I think that's just a stupid, I mean, wonderful thing.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: The proposal... represented about a 2.1% increase over the prior
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: year's budget. What's going to happen now? I mean, we're
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: operating at 87% of last year's budget. Right. And there's
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: talk about what's going to be on the chopping block here.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: Sports. Sports, extracurricular stuff. Just wrong. Staff reduction. Staff reduction.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of concern, man, and people are really
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: worked up about this. They heat it up. And most
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: people are on one side of the fence or the other.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: There's fewer, it seems, I'm emphasizing, it seems, based on
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: what I've read, that are more kind of on the
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: fence and kind of can see both sides.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: And you know what?
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: I see both sides. But the problem is one side
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: is trying to outdo the other side. And if they
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: could just find a compromise in the middle where they
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: don't necessarily lose all these extracurricular activities because kids need
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: that socialization out of school. Yes, they socialize in school,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: and that's great. But they also need that outlet that
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: they can run down the field. They can do all
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: these things and have socialization with other kids and.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: With adults who are coaching. OK, mental health.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: Right. But then at the same time, do we want
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: to cut the budget or take away from the people,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: the adults that are working and doing the things to
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: help the kids? So there's kind of got to be
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: a give and take. It can't be just one way
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: or another. We can't say the school budget didn't pass.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: So now we're going to raise the taxes over here
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: to subsidize the school budget. You can't just say.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: Black or white.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: You've got to find middle ground. What's the middle ground?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not educated enough to say what the middle ground
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: would be. I haven't studied enough. But there has to
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: be some kind of give and take. There has to be.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: October 1st is when the school district has to notify
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: people involved in co-curricular and activities activities. that have contracts. Right.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: They have to notify them by October 1st.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: And in my opinion, I feel... Today is September 25th. Yeah,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: they only have a couple of days. See, and in
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: my opinion, the school superintendent and the other ones, they're
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: doing what's best for their agenda and not what's best
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: for the constituents.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: Really interesting. And that's disappointing. Yeah, interesting comment. Albert just said,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: it would be nice if they would take tourism money
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: and use that towards the schools to help with all
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: of this.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: Albert, that's too logical. They need that money for themselves,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: for their agendas. Nobody's looking out for the health of
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: the kids. When I find out things like an emergency
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: button that a kid can hit when they feel something's
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: absolutely dire emergency, and the teachers and the adults there
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: tell the kids... If you hear that button between that
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: tree and that tree, run like hell as far as
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: you can until you get to the end where buses
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: are waiting for you. Where's the supervision for the kids
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: that are running like hell? What about the kids that
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: fall and are getting trampled on? You can't just take
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: 10 and 11-year-old kids and say, run. There has to
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: be structure. There has to be a plan. And yet
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: right now they're just saying, run. And you can't do that.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: But to have structure, you need money. Okay, so where's
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: the money coming from? Albert, great suggestion. But they won't
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: do it because it's not fitting their agenda.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: And that's disappointing. You just went down a rabbit hole.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: I did because I'm really tired of hearing that the
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: people that are in charge, the people that are running,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: the people that we voted for to help us and
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: represent us are representing their own agendas, that are getting things.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: When they have meetings, they're told, if you want to
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: talk at the meeting, you must submit what it is
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: that you want to talk about in advance so that
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: we can bring ourselves abreast of that situation and discuss
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: it at the meetings. And then they get this information,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: and they just put it aside because they don't want
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: to talk about it. And the person who's going there
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: that wrote the agenda is waiting to speak, and they're
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: not allowed to speak because superintendents and councilmen are saying–
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: That doesn't really fit the budget. I ran into that
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: situation with the Rainbow Bridge Community Center when I had
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: asked for a specific thing. And they said, oh, come
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: on in and bring it up at the such and such.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: They had already made up their mind, not for the community,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: but for what they thought was fiscally logical. Not, hey,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: it's a good idea, but let's see if we can
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: shave a little here, or maybe we can't give you
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: as much of this, but we can try this.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: They don't do that. They say, you know what? The
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: budget's this way. Let's tax. And that's not the answer.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: But there aren't enough people in Vermont that they can
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: cut the taxes down. They need to tax us higher
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: because we don't have the population.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: To cover it.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: So it's like, what is going on? When do we
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: stand up for the kids? When do we stand up
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: for the adults? The local mom and pop businesses, where
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: is the stand up for?
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great story. Yeah, but they're going under
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: because they're not getting assistance.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: Come on, people. There's a lot out there that are
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: not being addressed.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: The kids stood up for themselves during that meeting on
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: Monday night.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: I have to tell you, I heard it. And admittedly, man,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: I was... Really impressed.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: With the kids. What they had to say.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We need these programs. I was really impressed, man.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: It's something that helps us. You know, kids go to
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: school all day long. When you go to an after
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: school program, sports, whatever the case may be, that's an
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: outlet for all that learning they did that day. It's
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: nice to shake that off until homework at nighttime. It's
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: nice to shake that off and just socialize with other
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: people in a fun or challenging way.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: Okay? There are lessons being learned on the soccer and
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: football field and basketball court that you're never going to
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: learn in a classroom. No. Team spirit, it's huge. You know,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: I remember in the old days... I don't know what
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: the hell we would do, honestly, if Lily was not
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: able to play basketball, soccer, softball. I mean, that would
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: be a big hit on her mental health.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Because this is what helps them First of all,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: they get to reason. They get to build a skill.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: They get the exercise they need because Lord knows we
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: need to slim down America a little bit.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: Okay. You got Melania Trump talking about women.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: Power and that's it.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: And my attitude is there's a lot more than just
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: women power. There's a lot more than just men being
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: men and taking over this and that. There's a lot
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: more to children in sports and children at clubs.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: There was a time when we wanted.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: To have gay clubs at school and we got shot
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: down because, or you can't say that, you know, there's
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: so many things that help the children develop other than
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: just an education. The education comes in the classroom and outside.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: And guess what?
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: And the parents need to get appropriate about their education
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: for their kids too.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: Um, I mean, there's another side to the coin here, though, G.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: And I think you know that, and you respect that. But,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: you know, we're talking fall sports, winter sports, extracurricular stuff,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: co-curricular activities, transportation. There's a lot of stuff here now,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: you know, a possible fourth vote, what that's going to
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: look like, when that's going to be happening.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: Well, they better clean that up because they didn't get
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: the first three. So they better get something a little
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: bit more compromising. Taylor says, and by the way, Taylor
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: needs to come on the air here. Yeah, I've been
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: asking her to come on and she just won't.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: She's afraid. I challenge you, Taylor.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: Go on.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: She says, I feel like people shouldn't get to be
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: against the budget and constantly complain about the quality of
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: the education at the same time.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: What you put into it.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: If you want good education for your kids, you're not
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: going to get that for free.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: And it costs. Glenn says, I thought the lottery money
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: and the income from the legal marijuana sales were to
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: go toward the school budgets.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: Glenn, there's a lot of things we thought was going
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: to go. There was a time they raised taxes that
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: they fixed the roads. And four years later, they're starting
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: to do some mitigation stuff for flooding.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: Finally.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: So, yes.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Would you calm down? Okay. Dwayne says Vermont State Lottery
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: donates all proceeds to remote public education. In 2016, State
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: Lottery generated $ 240 million in revenue, with lottery ticket sales
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: of that $ 240, 000. $ 18 million went to public schools. It
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: does not take $ 222 million a year to run a
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: lottery agency. Wow. There's some good comments. Yeah.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: And that's where you say, you know what? Instead of
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: getting together and have a meeting where we're told.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: We need to have discussions.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: We need to have calm, not heated at these meetings.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: Calm discussions. And people are allowed to talk at the meetings,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: but if they're going to go on tangents like I do,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: there's a time limit. They can talk about blah, blah, blah,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: and then other people can talk about it as well.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Not that they get the floor for 20 minutes. Give
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: them five or 10 minutes to have the floor to
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: say what they feel or what they're proposing. And then
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: open it up for discussion. I think it was great
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: that the students stood up. I think that's amazing. I
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: think that they were brave. They stood up. They spoke
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: their minds. And they spoke them well.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: Very well.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: I was impressed. However, you know, I've also seen and
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: heard the argument from folks living, working in central Vermont
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: here who are taxpayers.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: And they're paying a lot of freaking taxes.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: And they're dealing with an economy that's everything's expensive now.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: And I've heard them say. That's great, kids, that you
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: love your extracurricular activities in and whatnot. But you're 17
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: years old and you don't pay taxes.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: You're not paying property taxes. You're not a homeowner.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: Again, there's got to be a compromise between what the
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: kids are demanding that's good for the kids and what
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: the taxpayers are paying.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: There has to be a compromise.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: You can't just go left or right.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: Albert said earlier, a few minutes ago, and I'm quoting again,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: it would be nice if they would take tourism money
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: and use that towards the schools to help with all
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: of this.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: Vermont's entire visitor economy.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: All the Flatlanders that are on 91 North coming up
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: here generated $ 4. 2 billion in spending in 2024. Yeah. 4.2.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, and the bus is already starting.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: The Leaf Peepers are here now. I saw a couple
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: of buses following each other with people in it. Can
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: you imagine if we had all the cones set up?
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: On 91 North. Stop the buses. Hi. I'd walk onto
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: the bus. Hi, everybody. Welcome to Vermont. Here's your toll.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: You're about to see some absolutely amazing trees. You're going
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: to see oranges.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: And beautiful towns.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: Reds. Yellows. You're going to see incredible country stores. Best
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: maple syrup on the planet.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: I need all of you to throw five bucks here.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go around with my Tunbridge World's Fair.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Nine dollars. lemonade cup, and all you're going to throw
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: five bucks in here is to see the Leafs. Right.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: And please, before you leave, buy some maple syrup on
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: your way out of town. Yeah. And some of it's
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: going to go to the Berry Unified School District.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: Not some.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: All of it should go to the programs and the
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: things that we need in this state.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, wait a second.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: Not to the politicians.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: Right. And wait a second. Wait a minute. some people
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: in the back row of the bus that are complaining.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: Right up over here is where the turnaround is. You've
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: got plenty of room to turn around right here, and
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: you'll be back on the Massachusetts border in one mile.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you! It's too basic. It's too basic.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: There are solutions. I don't know what they are, people.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to sit here and preach that I
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: know best, because I don't. I'm not educated enough, and
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not qualified to talk about it. But I am
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: upset that this is happening.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: So if you have a bunch of people that are upset,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: both kids and both adults, both kids and adults, we
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: need to find some way.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: Just the ski industry alone, 1.6. And I.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 3: Get it.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: Money goes to the people that are working there, goes
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: to their maintenance of the place, goes to building snow.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: I get all that. Employees. I get all that.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: Insurance.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: Insurance. I get it, too. But there's profits also. Let's
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: not go there. $ 1. 6 billion for the ski industry alone
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: just last year. Yeah. Okay.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: It's funny how many billions of dollars are coming in.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: What about the snowmobile industry? What about the snowmobiles?
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: People come up to Vermont for two, three weeks to snowmobile.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: People come to Vermont to ski. People come to Vermont
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: to see the leaves. They come to go to those
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: old town towns like Stowe and places like that that
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: have all these quaint little stores that you can shop in.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: Now those stores are getting unreachable, meaning you can't touch
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: them because they're so expensive. Thank you to the tariffs
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: and everything else. So it gets difficult. I understand it's
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: a complicated situation, but we need to find cures. We
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: can't just complain about it.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: The Vermont Association of Snow Travelers, I may or may
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: not have reached out to my friend Stuart, says that
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: in its economic study that snowmobiling generated, I'll let you
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: guess on the number, in total economic impact for Vermont.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: $ 2 billion? I don't know. $ 511 billion. $ 1. 8 million. Wow. Listen,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: I'm a dumbass with all this. I know there's people
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: listening right now that are like, J.D., are you serious?
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: Because we admit from the beginning, though, that we're not qualified.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: We just have opinions.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: And hopes and aspirations for better.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe some of these opinions are wrong. Slightly unfounded.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: Unfounded, but not wrong. But, man, it's like, is there
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: another way to get this figured out? Nobody wants to
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: live a burdensome life. No, nobody wants to hurt anybody.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: Any more than they already are. Right, and they are.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think that there's anyone that's waking up and
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: beginning their day by saying, screw the students, take this
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: and that away from them, and let's fire a bunch
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: of teachers and tear up the football field.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure there's administrators that don't feel that way,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: that feel like, gosh, I don't want the kids to suffer,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: but at the same time, I can't take money away
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: from the teachers who get underpaid already.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: Can't imagine being a teacher.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: So nobody gets up and says, screw the kids or
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: screw the teachers. I think a lot of the administration
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: in their mind or in their heart.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: Feel, gosh, I don't want to hurt anything. Yeah. Stacey
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: says Vast doesn't get a dime from the state. But
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. Couldn't... Vermont Lottery. Vast.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: Tourism. Skiing.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: Business. centers, tourism, all that stuff, say collectively, hey, let's
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: throw a little bit in the pot here. Can we
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: shave off X percent of our Can.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: We shave off 1% and give that to the pot?
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: Throw it over to the Berry Unified School District. The
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: only district in Vermont that can't figure out their budget.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: Can we all collectively join in and help out? Or
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: are we The tourist towns, the gold towns, on a
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: whole different planet where we're like, hey, man, we're up
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: here on the mountain. We're doing our thing. Fuck all
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: you guys. Right. Can they just... I don't know. Can somebody... Hey,
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: do we have 10 bucks? Can we all throw in
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: a couple of bucks?
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: But you got city officials and school officials that are
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: going to totally tell us, we don't understand. You don't
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: know what it's like trying to balance this and that. No,
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: we don't know. So why don't you get fucking transparent
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: and tell us. Okay, tell us when somebody pushes the
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: button and all the kids have to run.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: Who pushed the button?
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: What was the reason for the push?
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: Not hiding it.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: Well, we, you know, it's somebody... You're dying for me
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: to talk about that, aren't you? No, we can talk
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: about it next week once I get more educated on
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: that topic.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: I'll find out. I'll do some more research on it, too. Oh,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: I'm already on it.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: And that's the thing. A lot of people have opinions
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: based on unresearched facts.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: And that's very important, what I just said.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: People have opinions based on unresearched facts. They hear somebody
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: else say it, and if it's their friend, they take
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: their friend's side. Not the logical side. Well, my friend said,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: and I agree with him, blah, blah, blah. Do the
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: research before you open your mouth unless you have an
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: opinion that seems educated and then share your opinion because
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: that may help. Right.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: But like we say, I'm not educated enough to really
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: get into the nitty gritty of it.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: Okay. But I certainly know what it's affecting, and it's
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: affecting our kids. It's affecting our educators. It's affecting our taxes.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: Our taxpayers. All those things are affected. That I know
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: for a fact.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: So I can speak of that in an opinion tone.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: I can't speak of the amount of taxes that are
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: collected or where it's going because I don't have that
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: detailed information.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: I just know it's too fucking expensive.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Period.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: We should go out on a happy note.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: Let's go out on a happy note.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: Because once again, Friday, mental flaws, and we got mental
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: instead of flaws.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. We never script this out. We never
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: plan on what we're talking about. I mean, look at Brad,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: who came in here last Friday. Total loose cannon. Right.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: The guy is not well. Right. We don't know what
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: we're going to do. We don't know what we're going
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: to talk about. I wasn't really planning on talking about
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: this too much.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: You know, and on top of the taxes and all
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: that school stuff and everything else, we're worrying and controlling
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: and trying to control mental.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: Health, which is a huge, huge, huge issue. Yeah. Okay.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: And a huge industry.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So you got two sides. Oh, yeah.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: You got the farmers and talking about pharmacies and stuff
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: that are making a killing. Then you got your administration
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: up high that are saying we're going to cut medical
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: pills and stuff for those that are on Medicaid and Medicare,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: you know. And then it doesn't happen. So not only
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: are the schools being affected, the taxpayers being affected, but
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: people with mental health that are walking out in the
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: streets that we all drive by and go, oh, look
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: at that one. Or have you seen what you're wearing today?
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: Instead of helping, we're always criticizing. And people always say, gee,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: you're always so angry. You're so upset about things. I'm
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: not upset about things. I'm upset about the way we're
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: handling things.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There's no transparency. There's no cooperation. And it's frustrating.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: Other than that, it's Friday. Thanks for all the comments. Thanks, JC.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: You know, spot on, in my opinion. I love the
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: comments that I'm reading here this morning. They're outstanding. You
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: know what? I say this. They're outstanding, even if I
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily agree with them. I appreciate everybody.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: Writing.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: And for those who are writing in facts and statistics,
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: that's important.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: Because we always see some, like they said, we wake
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: up every morning to more crap.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: And more data problems and more fights.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: And more disagreements. And it's nice when people come on
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: a forum like this and they can say what they feel. Right.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: Or what they know for a fact. And we accept
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: all sides. Yes.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: Because we're not the end all, be all of facts.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, we have opinions, but if our facts are wrong,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: we encourage people to re-enlighten us the correct way.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: Are those dumbasses over there on that aired out thing?
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: What is that all about?
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: You know what's different between us and other podcasts? We
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: just say it and throw it out there. We don't
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: kiss people's ass. We don't say things just so that
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: we can get rewards or we can move higher on
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: the ladder. We just say what we're feeling, and throw
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: out facts, and let the listeners say, and we move on.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: We don't do the, oh, you're so special. Thank you
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: for coming on the air because people like you really help.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: We don't do that crap. We do the thanks for coming.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: We appreciate what you said, and thank you viewers for listening, caring,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: and giving input because that helps us too. That's the
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: way a podcast should be.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you to Jim. for coming on this morning. Yeah,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to go to the Haunted Barn. I hope.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: October 15th to November 1st, is it? Yeah, the poster's
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: right there behind me.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very excited.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: I really hope that that raccoon is going to give
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: Jim's dentures back. And you know what?
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: When you go to the Haunted Barn, even if you're
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: not 100% into it, you're actually paying which some of
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: that money goes to help people.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: And that, to me, is important. Well, that's true. I
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: thought you were going to say some of the proceeds
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: are going to go towards a new set of dentures
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: for Jim. Oh, we should do that, too. That's what
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: Let's have a 33-33-33 instead of a 50-50.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: 33 goes to this. 33 goes to somebody who won.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: And 33% goes to that $ 6, 000 Jim's got to pay
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: for his damn teeth.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: And Jim, just so you know, if you want to
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: get implants, that's $ 28, 000. So we're going to have to
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: do more than 33% for Jim. Holy shit. You know,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: to lose your dentures is one thing. To know that
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: there's a raccoon out there with good teeth.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: No, with your teeth. With your teeth. That's a whole
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: other thing.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, God.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: Can you see the raccoon out there eating?
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: And he can chew things he never could chew before.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: Ha ha. That's awesome. I can see the raccoon doing this. Yeah.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: And the other raccoon's running away looking for somebody else
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: to lead their teeth out.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: Stop it.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: Have a good day, everybody.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: That was a good show wasn't it we gave some
• 1:32:24

• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: us but who cares right
