- 1:41Speaker 2: saw the spot today. We have the egg hunt. I know,
- 1:43Speaker 2: we have the big cruise coming up on Saturday. But
- 1:45Speaker 2: what we haven't really talked about because that thing sold out.
- 1:47Speaker 2: It's set and ready to go.
- 1:48Speaker 7: Yeah, but we still get people reaching nine, it's like, hey,
- 1:53Speaker 7: how do I get tickets to this yachtley cruise on Saturday?
- 1:55Speaker 3: Stay tuned.
- 1:55Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll do another thing a little bit later
- 1:57Speaker 2: this year, but we'll have another opportunity we're almost certain of.
- 2:00Speaker 2: But this one's sold out fast. The idea is novel
- 2:02Speaker 2: and people are really excited. People are like emailing me
- 2:05Speaker 2: trying to get me to give up what I'm wearing
- 2:07Speaker 2: and all this other stuff. It's crazy. Tons of prizes,
- 2:10Speaker 2: fun games. It's gonna be a good time. But what
- 2:12Speaker 2: we haven't talked about is usually we do this search
- 2:15Speaker 2: your asof contest for Easter. Right because of that, we
- 2:18Speaker 2: give away a big green egg egg Easter. It's an
- 2:21Speaker 2: easy jump to make, right an Easter egg hunt. Yeah,
- 2:24Speaker 2: there you go.
- 2:25Speaker 3: We missed that.
- 2:25Speaker 5: Very careful with that.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Missed that this year because of some things just internally.
- 2:30Speaker 2: We didn't get it together in time. But what we
- 2:33Speaker 2: are vacations, what we.
- 2:34Speaker 5: Are doing getting married, it all just kind of convoluted.
- 2:39Speaker 2: What we are doing is we're doing it for Father's Day,
- 2:42Speaker 2: because I mean, that's a grilling holiday. They already have
- 2:45Speaker 2: a big green Egg package going on an ACE now
- 2:48Speaker 2: where you can get a couple hundred bucks off of
- 2:50Speaker 2: the large ones, one hundred dollars off one of the
- 2:51Speaker 2: medium are small, we're giving away a package. It's damn
- 2:54Speaker 2: near two thousand dollars, right, it's the egg and all
- 2:57Speaker 2: the other stuff that goes with it. And what we
- 2:59Speaker 2: do is, if you're new to the show and you
- 3:01Speaker 2: haven't had a search your aceof experience, I hide a
- 3:06Speaker 2: little box that has a certificate in there and that
- 3:09Speaker 2: is the winner. Right, So you find this box, you
- 3:12Speaker 2: win the egg. Here's how you do that. Monday, which
- 3:16Speaker 2: is the day after the cruise. Next Monday, we were
- 3:18Speaker 2: releasing the very first clues for the search or asof
- 3:21Speaker 2: contest going into Father's Day weekend. By the end of
- 3:24Speaker 2: the week, we'll do a stanza every day and by
- 3:26Speaker 2: the end of the week or usually by Thursday, all
- 3:29Speaker 2: the clues are out and off you go to find
- 3:31Speaker 2: to find the box.
- 3:33Speaker 6: I thought you were gonna say that by Thursday the
- 3:35Speaker 6: egg will probably be foun.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Wekind of draw it out little bit because I want
- 3:38Speaker 2: to give Tools as the their due credit. They're donating
- 3:40Speaker 2: a gigantic prize, and if you haven't been to the
- 3:42Speaker 2: Tools They're absolutely awesome. They're different than all the other
- 3:45Speaker 2: tools that you may go to. Absolutely beautiful, tons of
- 3:47Speaker 2: cool stuff up there, and they deal with the best products.
- 3:50Speaker 2: That's what I like about them the most. You get
- 3:52Speaker 2: the great quality products there. But we're starting that on Monday,
- 3:55Speaker 2: so all you sleuths out there can gear up because
- 3:59Speaker 2: I found the place yesterday. I actually drove to the
- 4:03Speaker 2: place yesterday where it will be hidden. To careful now
- 4:09Speaker 2: to soak up all he goes, no, no, no, to
- 4:12Speaker 2: soak up all the area and kind of get an
- 4:14Speaker 2: idea the clues I can use to build my poem,
- 4:18Speaker 2: my uh my cipher.
- 4:21Speaker 6: So you're not gonna give any clues like what county.
- 4:24Speaker 2: No, nothing, it's gonna be well, it's gonna be in
- 4:26Speaker 2: a three county area, right, It's either it's gonna be
- 4:28Speaker 2: an Orange Seminole or Ossiola County.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Okay, oh, you're narrowing it down then.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Well, no, that's what we've always said, because uh.
- 4:34Speaker 3: I think I checked.
- 4:36Speaker 7: The rules are on their website, but that also lists. Yeah,
- 4:41Speaker 7: I mean, but now you've just you've done a big
- 4:44Speaker 7: favor for everyone. It's gonna be either it's gonna be
- 4:47Speaker 7: either an Orange seminol or Osiola County.
- 4:50Speaker 2: That's I thought, that's what we always did. Wow, that's
- 4:52Speaker 2: the first clue. Yeah, yeah, there you go. There's your
- 4:54Speaker 2: first clues and one of the three. All you need
- 4:56Speaker 2: to do is isolate those three thousand square miles.
- 5:00Speaker 7: So we actually have it's on our website that real
- 5:02Speaker 7: radio dot FM slash ace you can get. You can
- 5:06Speaker 7: you know, get an overview of what we're doing and
- 5:09Speaker 7: what the whole price pack is because comes with a
- 5:11Speaker 7: lot of accessories.
- 5:15Speaker 3: Eighteen ninety five value. But thanks to toolsday hardware.
- 5:19Speaker 7: Well, this is so much fun to do, and Jimmy
- 5:22Speaker 7: has to do most of the work, which is why
- 5:23Speaker 7: I just love this day. All the work I start
- 5:26Speaker 7: tonight actually because I just I had to double check
- 5:29Speaker 7: that the place that I was going was going to
- 5:32Speaker 7: be okay. Because the whole idea for the search your
- 5:34Speaker 7: Aesop contest is it's accessible twenty four hours a day.
- 5:38Speaker 7: You don't have to go in anywhere, you don't have
- 5:40Speaker 7: to pay anything, and where this will be you can
- 5:43Speaker 7: walk right up to it twenty four hours a day.
- 5:47Speaker 2: So there you go. That'll start Monday. The first clue
- 5:51Speaker 2: will come down on Monday. Usually now, letsen, let me
- 5:53Speaker 2: give you a No, the first clue is usually just
- 5:55Speaker 2: the setup. It doesn't start getting media until around Tuesday Wednesday.
- 5:59Speaker 2: By Wednesday, uh, you have enough full protein action.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:03Speaker 7: By the way, it makes a great Father's Day gift.
- 6:05Speaker 7: If my kids are listening like their yea yeah, yeah,
- 6:10Speaker 7: uh so we expect. We've had people travel from other
- 6:13Speaker 7: counties outside the area, from Polk County to coming into it.
- 6:16Speaker 7: We've had people come from Jacksonville and Flagler County to
- 6:19Speaker 7: come down here and spending an entire day looking. People
- 6:22Speaker 7: certainly thought that they knew where it was gonna be.
- 6:24Speaker 7: And I'll tell you something else. I'm gonna go ahead
- 6:26Speaker 7: and give you a heads up. Right off, Rip, you've
- 6:28Speaker 7: already narrowed it down.
- 6:29Speaker 2: No, hold on, dude, don't think that you're gonna be
- 6:34Speaker 2: able to put this cipher into any of your AI
- 6:36Speaker 2: bots and figure it out, because we do that before him.
- 6:39Speaker 2: We made it AI. Yeah, we make it AI proof.
- 6:41Speaker 2: So we enter this thing into like fifteen different AI
- 6:44Speaker 2: monsters to see if it can figure it out. And
- 6:47Speaker 2: it has. We did it last year, and I think
- 6:49Speaker 2: we did a year before, did we not, Jack? I
- 6:50Speaker 2: think so that's when AI was stupid. Yeah, yeah, no good. Yeah,
- 6:53Speaker 2: he's way smarter now. So we'll see how I'll go.
- 6:56Speaker 2: So that starts on Monday. We're excited about it. Fun Yeah,
- 7:00Speaker 2: ro Radio dot FM, slash Ace all right four seven
- 7:03Speaker 2: nine four one text us at seven seven zero three one.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Did you guys ever have a time in your life
- 7:09Speaker 2: where you did something after work? Like, I mean, there,
- 7:13Speaker 2: and I'll give you an example. There for a minute,
- 7:15Speaker 2: Jack and I were going and meeting my kids at
- 7:17Speaker 2: a little place over in Wakaiva playing trivia, And that's
- 7:20Speaker 2: kind of just people's schedules change kind of blew that apart.
- 7:23Speaker 2: But there for a while we were doing it, and
- 7:25Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it because in the middle of the week,
- 7:28Speaker 2: you know, especially if it's like Monday or Tuesday, you're
- 7:30Speaker 2: starting to look for the weekend and it's so far away.
- 7:33Speaker 2: It's kind of a bomber. But if you have something
- 7:35Speaker 2: you do after work during the week, it makes I
- 7:38Speaker 2: think it makes the week go by so much faster.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Have you ever had had anything like that in your
- 7:42Speaker 2: all your work career? Oh?
- 7:44Speaker 6: Yeah, when I did mornings years first started doing mornings,
- 7:47Speaker 6: used to go for beer and wings.
- 7:49Speaker 5: After the show.
- 7:49Speaker 3: After the show.
- 7:50Speaker 5: Yeah, so you've found too many feathers on your wings?
- 7:54Speaker 3: Well, how many days would you do that?
- 7:56Speaker 5: Almost? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Like.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Almost every day you guys have some beers. Did you
- 8:01Speaker 2: do anything like recreational like go shoot pool or throw
- 8:03Speaker 2: darts or have like a kickball league or anything like that.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Did you do anything like that?
- 8:08Speaker 5: No, Chris has done that, not me.
- 8:10Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, do you ever do that something like that?
- 8:12Speaker 8: Jiet?
- 8:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I was part of a cross dressing ax throwing league.
- 8:15Speaker 3: That's awesome.
- 8:16Speaker 7: Yeah. How'd you guys do? Oh? Well they were they them?
- 8:20Speaker 3: Yeah you were? How'd we do? We? We did great.
- 8:26Speaker 6: Kickball leagues are fun until you pull something and you
- 8:29Speaker 6: remember how old you are and then you're like, to
- 8:31Speaker 6: hell with this, but this is going to take weeks
- 8:33Speaker 6: to get better.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Yeah, we were, you know, talking about shooting pool for
- 8:36Speaker 2: a while. I know that the whole idea is like,
- 8:39Speaker 2: what what is the most is it trivia?
- 8:41Speaker 3: Now?
- 8:41Speaker 2: Is that the number one thing you think people like
- 8:43Speaker 2: do during the week after work they kind of get together,
- 8:45Speaker 2: go to trivia or something like that. Is that the
- 8:47Speaker 2: is that kind of the common get together they think
- 8:49Speaker 2: trivia is one, karaoke might be one. See for me,
- 8:52Speaker 2: it's I mean, twenty eight years of this job, always
- 8:55Speaker 2: working until seven. I was always going home right after
- 8:58Speaker 2: the job.
- 8:59Speaker 3: Sure. Yeah.
- 8:59Speaker 7: And before that I was working in a bar, so
- 9:02Speaker 7: you know that kind of that was my social life.
- 9:06Speaker 7: Was working in a bar until late and so there
- 9:08Speaker 7: wasn't going into another bar.
- 9:10Speaker 6: Yeah, I know locally, there's one thing they do that
- 9:13Speaker 6: looks like fun music video bingo.
- 9:15Speaker 3: I haven't seen that one.
- 9:16Speaker 6: Yeah, they're doing that over at Whiskey Kitchen.
- 9:20Speaker 5: Really yeah, what is that? I don't know, but it
- 9:22Speaker 5: looks like fun.
- 9:25Speaker 3: That's the good name of something, doesn't Yea.
- 9:28Speaker 2: I played softball after work before I've done Let's see
- 9:31Speaker 2: what else I did the kickball before. No, I did
- 9:34Speaker 2: a pool league, but it wasn't like after this. But man,
- 9:37Speaker 2: I think I want to find something to do like that.
- 9:39Speaker 2: We do the trivia occasionally, but again, my kids' schedules
- 9:42Speaker 2: are so crazy, and we live way out there. Nobody
- 9:44Speaker 2: does like a trivia that out there that we know.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Yet we like feisty trivia and we try to hit those.
- 9:48Speaker 2: There's plenty of places in town to do that, But
- 9:51Speaker 2: I just wondered what most people out there do, like
- 9:54Speaker 2: after work?
- 9:54Speaker 3: What do they do? What do you guys do?
- 9:55Speaker 2: Do you just go straight home or do you do
- 9:57Speaker 2: something to ball of Steam once a week something like that.
- 10:01Speaker 6: I don't know, because by the time you'd get home
- 10:03Speaker 6: and get the boat ready, I mean it almost be
- 10:04Speaker 6: too late to Yeah, yeah, go out on the lake.
- 10:06Speaker 2: I ran a poker game for about two years on
- 10:08Speaker 2: Thursday nights that we did for a while. That was
- 10:11Speaker 2: a lot of fun. And then I had the poker
- 10:13Speaker 2: tournament over in Daytona for a while, but that was
- 10:16Speaker 2: a work thing. It wasn't really a you know, a
- 10:18Speaker 2: thing thing.
- 10:20Speaker 7: Oh people texted, some people play pick a ball, But
- 10:23Speaker 7: if you're a nine to fiver, you still have some daylight.
- 10:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:27Speaker 7: I think it's weird for us specifically. Yeah, it's weird
- 10:30Speaker 7: because I mean, you're only getting home by seven thirty.
- 10:33Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
- 10:33Speaker 2: I was invited to play some pool leagues, but they
- 10:35Speaker 2: you know, they all started at seven o'clock, and you know,
- 10:37Speaker 2: they're not making it.
- 10:38Speaker 7: The same thing with music video Bengo, the same thing
- 10:41Speaker 7: with city council meetings.
- 10:42Speaker 2: I know, is that where you want to go is
- 10:45Speaker 2: is that.
- 10:45Speaker 3: Your fun I thought about it.
- 10:47Speaker 5: I mean, that's yeah, someone's got to watch these jokers.
- 10:50Speaker 5: But those I think even start at six.
- 10:52Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, nobody's mess out. Nobody's doing that.
- 10:55Speaker 2: You actually play a pickup basketball game over in Longwood.
- 10:58Speaker 2: There was a guy who had no true story you Yeah, listen. Oh,
- 11:02Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, how long ago was this.
- 11:03Speaker 3: We's got a bad.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Shot man, not a bad shot, not as mobile as
- 11:06Speaker 2: I used to be, But I used to play all sports.
- 11:08Speaker 3: I love it. But a buddy of mine knew a
- 11:10Speaker 3: guy who was a doctor who.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Actually built the gymnasium, donated the money to build the
- 11:15Speaker 2: gym for a school right off of sand Lake Road
- 11:17Speaker 2: over there, not far from Lake Brentley High School, and
- 11:21Speaker 2: every I forget what night it was. I want to
- 11:22Speaker 2: say it's Tuesdays.
- 11:24Speaker 9: Uh.
- 11:24Speaker 2: He had a group of guys that they would go
- 11:26Speaker 2: in and they had the entire gym to themselves.
- 11:28Speaker 3: I'll tell hey, this gym, but I get to use
- 11:30Speaker 3: it on Tuesday. Dude, I'm telling you that's pretty much
- 11:33Speaker 3: what it was. I'm not joking.

- 14:08Speaker 6: extreme tension as the White House maintains a crippling oil
- 14:12Speaker 6: blockade against the communist nation. Meanwhile, his stop at Scentcom
- 14:16Speaker 6: in Tampa will focus directly on ongoing military.
- 14:20Speaker 5: Operations in the Middle East.
- 14:23Speaker 6: Speaking of the operations in the Middle East, Florida gas
- 14:25Speaker 6: prices are inching back up, rising another four cents overnight.
- 14:30Speaker 6: I love it when they wait for the time I
- 14:31Speaker 6: need to get gas. I really appreciate this. It's so thoughtful.
- 14:35Speaker 5: Triple A reports.
- 14:36Speaker 6: The state wide average now sits at three ninety six
- 14:39Speaker 6: a gallon, while the national average dipped a penny to
- 14:41Speaker 6: four point fifteen. Florida's average is up slightly from three
- 14:45Speaker 6: ninety four a week ago, but hey, it's down sharply
- 14:48Speaker 6: from four to forty three a month ago. We'll take
- 14:50Speaker 6: it right.
- 14:51Speaker 3: I got guess last night.
- 14:53Speaker 7: I finally wait, you know, and I've been listening to
- 14:55Speaker 7: say it's going up and up. I'm like, I should
- 14:57Speaker 7: have got it yesterday, and you know, we think I
- 14:58Speaker 7: should have out of yesterday. So I was bracing myself
- 15:02Speaker 7: and I paid what do you think I paid for
- 15:03Speaker 7: gas yesterday?
- 15:04Speaker 5: Well, you know you got the BJ's discount.
- 15:06Speaker 3: The bjays three oh one. Oh, I wish three twenty
- 15:13Speaker 3: two a gallon.
- 15:13Speaker 7: Wow, which is seventy seven cents less a gallon then
- 15:17Speaker 7: I've seen at most stations around, I've been seeing three
- 15:19Speaker 7: ninety nine everywhere.
- 15:20Speaker 3: Yeah, three twenty two with that DJ let's go hotly,
- 15:23Speaker 3: Jack says, I wish for twenty cents twenty times to gather.
- 15:27Speaker 3: That would be twenty cents. Your ten gallons car holds
- 15:30Speaker 3: like eight gallons of gas. No, it's ten.
- 15:32Speaker 6: But listen, if you need gas and you have that
- 15:34Speaker 6: seven to eleven APP, I believe tomorrow will be another
- 15:37Speaker 6: one of those days when you can get a good
- 15:39Speaker 6: discount on the gas, like fifty like that.
- 15:42Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, So think keep that in mind.
- 15:44Speaker 7: And guess what the upside APP is always a thing
- 15:47Speaker 7: that's free money. You're getting the h By the way,
- 15:49Speaker 7: did you got to go to a certain gas land?
- 15:50Speaker 2: I used that I used that the other day with
- 15:52Speaker 2: the buddy of mine when we were we went over
- 15:54Speaker 2: to Daytona play golf. He wrote with me and uh,
- 15:57Speaker 2: I had to get gas, and he goes here, let
- 15:58Speaker 2: me do this. And I looked up there and I
- 16:00Speaker 2: was paying like two sixty five a gallon. Yeah, yeah,
- 16:03Speaker 2: because I mean it takes fifty five percent and that
- 16:04Speaker 2: was back when it was like three to eight or whatever.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:06Speaker 6: Well, meanwhile, diesel is also on the rise in Florida,
- 16:09Speaker 6: climbing another two cents to five oh one a gallon.
- 16:14Speaker 6: Governor DeSantis is defending the property tax Amendment against attacks
- 16:18Speaker 6: from local governments at an appearance in Brooksville.
- 16:21Speaker 14: Disproportionately helping people who are middle class and working class,
- 16:28Speaker 14: very little benefit for somebody that's super wealthy.
- 16:31Speaker 6: Desanta says he's willing to give grants to cities and
- 16:34Speaker 6: counties to cover basic services, but opposes quote backfiling and
- 16:38Speaker 6: quotes are backfilling rather budgets to make up for losses
- 16:42Speaker 6: with a higher homestead exemption. Opponents are warning about cuts
- 16:46Speaker 6: and services if the amendment passes, but already early support.
- 16:50Speaker 6: You said yesterday, Jimmy, it's at what over eighty percent
- 16:52Speaker 6: of well.
- 16:53Speaker 2: I saw a poll is an eighty percent if it
- 16:55Speaker 2: if they were to take the vote that day, it
- 16:56Speaker 2: would have been eighty percent approval. Of course, a well
- 16:58Speaker 2: pass these sixty percent threshold needs to pass well.
- 17:01Speaker 6: On the other side of the political aisle, the Florida
- 17:03Speaker 6: governor's race is heating up as Democrat David Jolly announces
- 17:07Speaker 6: his running mate.
- 17:08Speaker 12: And so it is with absolute joy, joy that I'm
- 17:12Speaker 12: able to announce today the Congresswoman Gwynn Graham is a
- 17:15Speaker 12: great Oh wow, he's.
- 17:18Speaker 6: A good gut For those who do not know. Graham
- 17:21Speaker 6: is the daughter of former Florida Governor Bob Graham. She
- 17:23Speaker 6: unsuccessfully ran for governor in twenty eighteen, losing in the
- 17:27Speaker 6: Democratic primary to Andrew Gillum. The announcement comes as Jolly,
- 17:31Speaker 6: a former Republican, looks to unify Democrats after Orange County
- 17:35Speaker 6: maryor Jerry Demings suspended his campaign after being diagnosed with
- 17:40Speaker 6: prostate cancer ahead of the August eighteenth primary.
- 17:44Speaker 5: Party primaries are.
- 17:45Speaker 6: Set for August eighteenth ahead of the November election. The
- 17:48Speaker 6: Division of Elections says Republicans hold a one point five
- 17:52Speaker 6: million voter registration edge over Democrats. And this is going
- 17:57Speaker 6: to be your first year. You get locked out of
- 17:58Speaker 6: the parties, isn't it.
- 17:59Speaker 3: Joe exactly. I just realized, welcome to my side.
- 18:02Speaker 6: That's the only Suchey part of That's right, that's right,
- 18:07Speaker 6: all right. I love this next story on Miami Dade County.
- 18:11Speaker 6: Man is going to be part of an upcoming space mission.
- 18:14Speaker 6: You know, we talked about this yesterday when NASA announced
- 18:17Speaker 6: the four astronauts that'll be part of the Artemis three mission. Well,
- 18:21Speaker 6: one of them is Miami Sunset Senior High school grad
- 18:25Speaker 6: and Army Lieutenant Colonel Frank Rubio. The forty nine year
- 18:30Speaker 6: old is no stranger to space, as he spent over
- 18:33Speaker 6: a year in orbit in twenty twenty two and twenty three.
- 18:37Speaker 6: In that mission, Rubio set a record for the longest
- 18:40Speaker 6: spaceflight by an American. In Artemis three, Rubio into three
- 18:43Speaker 6: crew mates will orbit Earth as part of NASA's plan
- 18:46Speaker 6: to prepare for a future moon landing. Artemis three is
- 18:49Speaker 6: due to launch next year. And no, he is not
- 18:52Speaker 6: related to Marco Rubio, despite them both growing up in Miami.
- 18:56Speaker 6: Marco Rubio was born in Miami to Cuban parent. Frank
- 19:01Speaker 6: Rubio is his Famili's emigrated from El Salvador and he
- 19:04Speaker 6: grew up in Los Angeles, got it, although he went
- 19:07Speaker 6: to high school in Miami.
- 19:08Speaker 3: Gotcha.
- 19:08Speaker 6: But that's cool story, right. It's nice to see you know,
- 19:11Speaker 6: some local Florida guys on these missions. Some flava all right,
- 19:16Speaker 6: Data centers may not be welcome in parts, at least
- 19:19Speaker 6: of North Florida. The Clay County Commission met yesterday and
- 19:23Speaker 6: discussed a one year moratorium on the center's Opponents are
- 19:27Speaker 6: concerned about just how much water and electricity the centers
- 19:31Speaker 6: would use. No vote was taken on The commission will
- 19:34Speaker 6: discuss this again at its next meeting in two weeks. Meanwhile,
- 19:37Speaker 6: over in Jackson County, officials there are taking more drastic action.
- 19:40Speaker 6: The County Commission voted yesterday to draft an ordnance banning
- 19:44Speaker 6: data centers permanently. A vote could come at the next
- 19:49Speaker 6: meeting in two weeks. And of course this comes as
- 19:51Speaker 6: Jimmy and I were just talking about a story in
- 19:53Speaker 6: Mississippi where a class action lawsuit has been filed for
- 19:57Speaker 6: residents saying that the noises created a bearable Yeah.
- 20:00Speaker 2: The noise is making it almost impossible to live in
- 20:02Speaker 2: their own homes. Ruining their property value. It just health,
- 20:05Speaker 2: and it just so happens. This data center is right
- 20:07Speaker 2: around the corner from a cousin of ours that lives
- 20:10Speaker 2: up there in that South Haven area, which is exactly
- 20:12Speaker 2: it's an Auxford south Haven is I believe a suburb
- 20:15Speaker 2: of that, which is it's all U. They're pretty close.
- 20:17Speaker 2: And I remember texting him when they were contemplating building
- 20:20Speaker 2: this and ask him if he had heard anything. So
- 20:22Speaker 2: I got a texting back of Zev's hearing anything about it.
- 20:24Speaker 6: Yes, I mean, this class action lawsuit covers at least
- 20:26Speaker 6: ten thousand people who said this power plant that SpaceX
- 20:31Speaker 6: and Xai built to power this data center is creating
- 20:35Speaker 6: an unbearable noise that's affecting their health and their home values.
- 20:38Speaker 7: See, they had no problem creating the rule that they
- 20:43Speaker 7: had to provide for their own power. But now you
- 20:46Speaker 7: want him to do it quietly? Yeah, yeah, all right,
- 20:49Speaker 7: they were there first. Guess what we're going to need
- 20:51Speaker 7: data centers. That need is not going away. We just
- 20:53Speaker 7: have to find a way to do this where it's
- 20:55Speaker 7: manageable to be whether it's reduced to industrial areas.
- 21:01Speaker 2: The problem is is every state wants one because they
- 21:03Speaker 2: want the employment or they want they want the impact
- 21:05Speaker 2: business in their state. The problem is is no states
- 21:08Speaker 2: want them because of what they do to communities. What
- 21:10Speaker 2: they should do is make them all build. And the
- 21:13Speaker 2: rural areas of our country, the Dakotas and certain parts
- 21:16Speaker 2: of like like the Kansas and Iowa, they're literally where
- 21:19Speaker 2: there's a house every eighteen miles and there's plenty of
- 21:22Speaker 2: space out there.
- 21:23Speaker 3: Build them out there, or.
- 21:24Speaker 7: Even in not commercial areas but more industrial area.
- 21:29Speaker 2: And Florida's tough to do that with because there's very
- 21:31Speaker 2: little industrial area left in Florida. What isn't already developed
- 21:34Speaker 2: this way, it's conserved. But just wait if the head of.
- 21:38Speaker 6: The FWC is gonna find some land out there, some
- 21:40Speaker 6: wild Florida swamp and he's going don't worry about He'll
- 21:43Speaker 6: take care of it for you.
- 21:44Speaker 3: Well, yeah, put it in the Everglades. Yeah, all right,
- 21:46Speaker 3: all right.
- 21:47Speaker 6: A death row inmate from Orange County is making another
- 21:49Speaker 6: attempt to save his life. Dusty Ray Spencer filed an
- 21:52Speaker 6: appeal last week with the Florida Supreme Court or over
- 21:54Speaker 6: his nineteen ninety two conviction of killing his wife. His
- 21:57Speaker 6: lawyers claim the way the state plans to carry out
- 21:59Speaker 6: his death by lethal injection violates Spencer's constitutional rights. I
- 22:04Speaker 6: love when killers remember constitutional rights and something being you know,
- 22:08Speaker 6: cruel and unusual punishment about forty years too late. They
- 22:12Speaker 6: also claim his execution would be cruel and unusual because
- 22:15Speaker 6: of his age. Spencer is seventy four. His execution is
- 22:20Speaker 6: set for the twenty fifth.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Well, if you killed me sooner, it would have been okay,
- 22:27Speaker 2: everything just waited too long.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Now I'm too old for that. I'm too old to die.
- 22:30Speaker 5: I'm too old to die be cruel and unusual.
- 22:32Speaker 2: I haven't heard that about the injection. I've heard the
- 22:36Speaker 2: argument of the nitrogen thing is it is a big
- 22:38Speaker 2: stinking point or sticking point. But I haven't heard anything
- 22:41Speaker 2: about the lethal injection. That thing's pretty efficient, right.
- 22:43Speaker 5: It's efficient.
- 22:44Speaker 6: But the problem with a lot of times too, is
- 22:46Speaker 6: they might get some of those drugs from European companies
- 22:48Speaker 6: who do not want their drugs used as part of
- 22:52Speaker 6: the lethal injection cocktail.
- 22:53Speaker 3: I see.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Yeah, And by the way, that's the most humane way
- 22:57Speaker 2: they kill people, is the injection, because they put you
- 22:59Speaker 2: out first, like you get sedated first, then they kill you.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So it's you just go to sleep. He
- 23:05Speaker 3: just go to sleep, and then you need a donezo.
- 23:08Speaker 6: A Saint Petersburg man will get millions of dollars from
- 23:11Speaker 6: the state for life changing injuries he suffered following an arrest.
- 23:16Speaker 6: Governor Rond de Santis has signed a bill to award
- 23:19Speaker 6: hirabelto Sanchez Mayon with over two million dollars. He was
- 23:23Speaker 6: arrested three years ago for trespassing and when he was
- 23:26Speaker 6: placed in the transport van, he was shackled but not
- 23:30Speaker 6: secured with a seatbelt, and that means at one point
- 23:33Speaker 6: the officer driving the van stop short and Sanchez Mayn's
- 23:38Speaker 6: head wound up hitting the van's bulkhead oh Man. As
- 23:41Speaker 6: a result, he was left paralyzed and eventually had both
- 23:44Speaker 6: legs amputated.
- 23:45Speaker 3: Go way.
- 23:47Speaker 6: He already settled with Saint Pete for two and a
- 23:49Speaker 6: half million dollars. Wow, which of course will have to
- 23:53Speaker 6: take care of his care for the rest of us life.
- 23:54Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, good lord.
- 23:56Speaker 6: Some local law enforcement agencies are going to benefit from
- 23:58Speaker 6: spending approved by state officials. The state Board of Immigration
- 24:02Speaker 6: Enforcement approved almost ninety million dollars in grants yesterday. The
- 24:06Speaker 6: Brevard County Sheriff's office is getting the most money at
- 24:09Speaker 6: fourteen million dollars. The Orange County Sheriff's Office and Polk
- 24:13Speaker 6: County Sheriff's Office are each getting ten million dollars. The
- 24:16Speaker 6: money is being used to upgrade communications systems. On this
- 24:21Speaker 6: next story, parents might want to upgrade their communications systems
- 24:25Speaker 6: with their teens because a late night adventure is proving
- 24:28Speaker 6: costly for one group of utes in Orange County, not
- 24:32Speaker 6: utes utes. Belle Isle police announced yesterday TOTES Nineteen year
- 24:39Speaker 6: old Gary mcthurin was arrested Monday for reckless driving. He
- 24:43Speaker 6: was allegedly driving an SUV while four passengers were sitting
- 24:48Speaker 6: on the roof.
- 24:49Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I saw this story.
- 24:51Speaker 6: The passengers were not charged with a crime, but they
- 24:53Speaker 6: were given tickets. The Belleisle Police Department says they're all
- 24:58Speaker 6: for making memories with friends, but becoming a traffic safety
- 25:02Speaker 6: lesson isn't the kind of memory anyone should be aiming for.
- 25:05Speaker 6: You don't want to be part of those movies that
- 25:07Speaker 6: you know, driving instructors show before you get behind the
- 25:10Speaker 6: wheel of a car for the first time, like don't.
- 25:12Speaker 2: Be this kid, Yeah, blue lights or whatever it was, Yeah,
- 25:14Speaker 2: how many days left in this hundred days of summer?
- 25:17Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 25:17Speaker 5: Yeah, until Labor Day nine eight yeah, un till Labor Day.
- 25:19Speaker 2: It's so funny when you hear stories like that, you know,
- 25:21Speaker 2: growing up down here, when it would be nothing for
- 25:25Speaker 2: a family to load up literally every child they had
- 25:27Speaker 2: in the back of a pickup truck, Yes, and drive
- 25:29Speaker 2: eighty miles an hour to everywhere.
- 25:31Speaker 6: I mean our first seatbelts was your mother's, you know,
- 25:35Speaker 6: was her right arm.
- 25:36Speaker 3: I think you should have probably been killed like eighteen
- 25:37Speaker 3: times as a kid.
- 25:39Speaker 6: Well, here's something you didn't expect to see with all
- 25:41Speaker 6: the rain we're getting, or at least it's starting to.
- 25:43Speaker 6: But there is a burn band in effect in unincorporated
- 25:45Speaker 6: Orange County. So that includes ed Wood, bell Isle, which
- 25:48Speaker 6: we just talked about, Oakland, and Eatonville. That means burning
- 25:52Speaker 6: without a permit is not allowed. Campfires and bonfires are prohibited,
- 25:56Speaker 6: but you can grill. The band will be lifted when
- 25:58Speaker 6: drought conditions. And speaking of the weather, Colorado State University
- 26:02Speaker 6: hurricane researchers are lowering their outlook for the twenty twenty
- 26:06Speaker 6: six Atlantic season. They're now predicting an even more below
- 26:10Speaker 6: average year. Forecasters expect eleven named storms with five hurricanes
- 26:15Speaker 6: and two major systems. That's down from April's projection of
- 26:18Speaker 6: thirteen named storms and six hurricanes. Researchers say that developing
- 26:23Speaker 6: Al Nino could limit activity.
- 26:25Speaker 5: They're actually saying it could be a super El Nina.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Okay.
- 26:29Speaker 6: In the meantime, the National Hurricane Center is watching a
- 26:33Speaker 6: potential disturbance in the southwestern Gulf with only a low
- 26:37Speaker 6: chance of development, has like a ten percent chance of development.
- 26:40Speaker 6: It's expected to move over Mexico, not really pose a
- 26:43Speaker 6: big threat there either, and certainly no expected threat to
- 26:46Speaker 6: the US Gulf Coast or anywhere in Florida.
- 26:48Speaker 2: Yeah, we will take all the rain. We don't want
- 26:50Speaker 2: the Yeah, we don't want the storm Storge. That'd be great.
- 26:53Speaker 2: We'll just take your rain, please. So a year off
- 26:55Speaker 2: would be great, all right?
- 26:57Speaker 6: A managing critical condition after a shark attack in the
- 27:00Speaker 6: Florida Panhandle Monday. The man in his late twenties and
- 27:03Speaker 6: an employee at the Naval base in Panama City, was
- 27:07Speaker 6: swimming near the marina on his lunch break when the
- 27:10Speaker 6: attack happened.
- 27:11Speaker 5: Onlookers called for.
- 27:12Speaker 6: Help at the US Navy thing and then there was
- 27:17Speaker 6: this more subdued response.
- 27:21Speaker 3: Well, I'm actually on the NSA Panama City installation.
- 27:25Speaker 2: There's a generally get attacked by a shark out here.
- 27:28Speaker 15: Is a gentleman to be attacked by a shark?
- 27:30Speaker 16: Yes, over here by the NWR.
- 27:33Speaker 6: On bab don't worry, don't panic that. I mean, take
- 27:35Speaker 6: go ahead, take your time, you know, yes, Cam that.
- 27:37Speaker 2: Gentleman, you take a little If you take a left
- 27:40Speaker 2: on Smith and you go up to that second line
- 27:42Speaker 2: and you take another left, it's only about one hundred
- 27:44Speaker 2: yards up there, and if you look left you can
- 27:45Speaker 2: see him right now.
- 27:46Speaker 3: He's gonna both arms.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Every emergency needs at least one person who can keep
- 27:52Speaker 2: his head. Yeah, I don't want that guy though, when
- 27:55Speaker 2: I'm getting attacked by a shark, I want the guy
- 27:57Speaker 2: losing his s so that everybody gets.
- 27:59Speaker 3: The idea what's happening. So he said that guy a
- 28:02Speaker 3: job at nine to one.
- 28:03Speaker 6: Right, the second person in the water with the victim
- 28:06Speaker 6: at the time was uninjured.
- 28:08Speaker 5: All right, Speaking to sharks.
- 28:09Speaker 6: You're heading to Massachusetts to catch a World Cup match.
- 28:12Speaker 6: Cape Codd officials are urging World Cup visitors to be
- 28:15Speaker 6: aware of sharks. Visitors are being told to stay close
- 28:19Speaker 6: to shore, avoid swimming near seals, don't watch Jaws. Sharks
- 28:24Speaker 6: hunt for seals, and shallow wados.
- 28:27Speaker 5: Did I just say watto shallow wato? Thank you.
- 28:31Speaker 6: Beach goers are also urged to follow signs, flags and
- 28:34Speaker 6: lifeguard instructions. And then, speaking of traveling, that's where Jaws
- 28:38Speaker 6: was right, exactly exactly was it wasn't called Cape cod
- 28:43Speaker 6: though it was.
- 28:43Speaker 7: They say, don't watch Jaws, or did you just add
- 28:48Speaker 7: that's an interesting take? That'll be quiet the city going.
- 28:53Speaker 7: Don't watch Jaws. I mean exactly, enjoy the matches. Don't
- 28:56Speaker 7: watch Jaws.
- 28:57Speaker 6: Don't watch Jaws, don't go in the water. All right,
- 29:00Speaker 6: if you are traveling man, there's just some things you
- 29:02Speaker 6: don't want to hear about your pilot, right, like Jacket
- 29:04Speaker 6: alluded too earlier. You don't want to think he's inebriated
- 29:07Speaker 6: when he's behind the controls.
- 29:08Speaker 5: And then there's this story.
- 29:09Speaker 2: You don't want him to have just argued with his
- 29:11Speaker 2: wife exactly. Don't want any of that stuff, you.
- 29:13Speaker 5: Know, big financial problem.
- 29:15Speaker 3: You don't want to be financial problem.
- 29:16Speaker 5: No, I don't want to be fired and let go
- 29:18Speaker 5: or something. And this is his last flight.
- 29:20Speaker 3: We don't need any of that.
- 29:21Speaker 6: Yeah, we don't want to see the side of that mountain.
- 29:23Speaker 6: While a man is facing legal trouble after an investigation
- 29:26Speaker 6: by authorities in Ontario, Canada found he allegedly flew commercial
- 29:31Speaker 6: planes for jack How long before he was found to
- 29:35Speaker 6: be doing so without a required license.
- 29:38Speaker 3: Oh so it's been a while. I was going to
- 29:39Speaker 3: go short. I will say thirteen years.
- 29:42Speaker 5: How about seventeen years?
- 29:43Speaker 3: Seventeen years?
- 29:44Speaker 2: And this guy flew everything from seven thirty sevens to
- 29:47Speaker 2: seven seventy sevens. He flew everything out there no license.
- 29:50Speaker 6: The pilot was arrested June first, and he's charged with
- 29:53Speaker 6: seven counts, including fraud, using forged documents and public mischief,
- 29:58Speaker 6: public mischief.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Timeout, what's his safety record?
- 30:02Speaker 6: The investigation was dubbed Project Icarus, and according to authorities,
- 30:06Speaker 6: it isn't that it suggests quote a deliberate effort to
- 30:09Speaker 6: circumvent systems designed to safeguard the public end quote, to
- 30:14Speaker 6: which the following a duendum was added.
- 30:16Speaker 2: You think, yeah, I mean, don't they have video games, jacket,
- 30:19Speaker 2: don't your consoles have video games where you can damn
- 30:21Speaker 2: near download like a flight simulators that are so freaking
- 30:25Speaker 2: close to those things simulation.
- 30:29Speaker 7: It literally is yeah, yeah, it's called yeah, okay, one
- 30:32Speaker 7: hundred dollars game right now?
- 30:33Speaker 3: Is it really? Wow?
- 30:34Speaker 6: Air Canada, which employed the pilot, issued a statement noting
- 30:38Speaker 6: that quote safety was not compromised by this incident end quote.
- 30:42Speaker 6: But the pilot in question was removed from active duty. Okay, great,
- 30:46Speaker 6: His first court appearance will be on June twenty ninth.
- 30:49Speaker 2: What was his safety record? Let this guy get his
- 30:52Speaker 2: license and keep going. I don't think he's had any
- 30:54Speaker 2: problems in all those years. I'll take it. I'll take
- 30:57Speaker 2: that problem.
- 31:00Speaker 4: Here.
- 31:00Speaker 3: I don't want to see that.
- 31:01Speaker 2: I'd rather see that guy uner the captain stumbling out
- 31:03Speaker 2: of the lounge.
- 31:04Speaker 7: If anything, for you can get his pilot's sight sense.
- 31:06Speaker 7: Why couldn't this guy, Why couldn't he go back to school?
- 31:09Speaker 8: Like?

- 34:54Speaker 2: wildlife refuge.
- 34:55Speaker 3: And those guys are at the monster thing the other day,
- 34:58Speaker 3: were they not.

- 35:02Speaker 3: Yeah, this people. Yeah, I do get my animal people
- 35:06Speaker 3: make I don't blame you.
- 35:07Speaker 5: I get my animal people mixed up. But back to Nature.
- 35:10Speaker 6: You guys, take a guess how many baby animals they
- 35:13Speaker 6: had to take care of.
- 35:14Speaker 5: I believe it was just in March alone, just from.
- 35:18Speaker 6: Because there are a wildlife rehab right, so when people find,
- 35:22Speaker 6: you know, baby animals on their property or there's been
- 35:25Speaker 6: tree clearing or whatever.
- 35:26Speaker 2: I get this one mixed up with the one that's
- 35:27Speaker 2: out there near us that does the tigers and stuff
- 35:30Speaker 2: like that.
- 35:30Speaker 6: Yeah, that's exactly where I get mixed up. Yeah, oh gosh,
- 35:32Speaker 6: this is in April. This how many animals they took
- 35:36Speaker 6: in in April thirteen, seventy five, six and seventy nine.
- 35:41Speaker 6: Was it like mostly squirrels and stuff.
- 35:43Speaker 5: Like that, all kinds, all kinds of baby animals that
- 35:45Speaker 5: they take care. Is there a.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Season, Okay, I know there is because when I lived
- 35:49Speaker 2: in Geneva, I used to see them all the time,
- 35:51Speaker 2: and I know there's a in spring, the fawns would
- 35:53Speaker 2: come right in.
- 35:54Speaker 3: Man. I've seen so many videos on install about people
- 36:00Speaker 3: finding fawns that had either been abandoned by their mom,
- 36:04Speaker 3: or their mom had been killed by a car or
- 36:05Speaker 3: something like that. And these fawns are like little puppies.
- 36:08Speaker 3: They just follow the people around and they will know.
- 36:11Speaker 5: You cannot have a fawn.
- 36:12Speaker 2: They will pick the fawn up and they will literally
- 36:14Speaker 2: walk over to the woods and no, no, no, no, I'm
- 36:15Speaker 2: not your mommy.
- 36:16Speaker 3: They're like talking to this thing like it's gonna understand.
- 36:18Speaker 5: It's so funny you say that.
- 36:19Speaker 3: They just turn right right and around and come right
- 36:20Speaker 3: back at them.
- 36:21Speaker 5: Back to nature.
- 36:22Speaker 6: Wildlife Refuge was the very first time I'd ever seen
- 36:24Speaker 6: a fawn in my life. And their little legs they
- 36:27Speaker 6: look like like little girafts, like they look like pretzel sticks.
- 36:30Speaker 6: They're those skinny, little itty bitty things. You don't know
- 36:33Speaker 6: how they survive in the wild. But they do, yeah,
- 36:36Speaker 6: and it's wild. They have a natural instinct to drop down.
- 36:40Speaker 6: And it's kind of funny because.
- 36:42Speaker 2: In these videos as seen the same one as the video,
- 36:45Speaker 2: as the fawn is kind of walking out of the woods,
- 36:47Speaker 2: obviously mother nowhere to be seen, you know, because I'm
- 36:49Speaker 2: gonna tell you, they don't usually get that far away
- 36:51Speaker 2: from mom. And if you kind of get near a fawn.
- 36:53Speaker 2: We've experienced this out in Geneva, the mother will let
- 36:56Speaker 2: you know in a second where she is. They'll do
- 36:58Speaker 2: the stomping and the huffing and the puffy and stuff,
- 37:00Speaker 2: and they have they let you know that what you're
- 37:02Speaker 2: doing is not cool, and they are. They're pretty agro. Actually,
- 37:06Speaker 2: they came to my dog a number of times, you know,
- 37:08Speaker 2: because she was just kind of interested in what was
- 37:10Speaker 2: going on, wasn't trying to attack anything. That never even barked,
- 37:13Speaker 2: and the dough.
- 37:14Speaker 3: Was not having it. Yeah, you know how you fix that?
- 37:16Speaker 3: Oh shut up? It works for Disney movies.
- 37:20Speaker 2: So the fawn as the person was walking up, the
- 37:23Speaker 2: fawn just had it's almost like somebody pushed a button
- 37:25Speaker 2: and they just dropped to the ground and got as
- 37:27Speaker 2: low as possible. Because I guess that's how they and
- 37:29Speaker 2: they don't have a scent or something at that age too.
- 37:32Speaker 6: Right, they're so well camouflage that one of the videos
- 37:34Speaker 6: I recently saw on Instagram was a dog literally walking
- 37:38Speaker 6: over the fawn hiding in the grass because no scent,
- 37:42Speaker 6: and they couldn't see them because the little spots on
- 37:44Speaker 6: their back make them blend in with those tall grasses
- 37:47Speaker 6: so well that as long as they stay there still,
- 37:50Speaker 6: they should be safe from predators until mom comes back.
- 37:52Speaker 3: Yes, that's straight. I didn't know they had no sense.
- 37:55Speaker 3: I didn't. I wouldn't have thought that to be possible.
- 37:57Speaker 3: I think it's up to a.
- 37:58Speaker 2: Certain age that they don't have a scent, or their
- 38:01Speaker 2: scent is so faint that it can't be sensed by predators.
- 38:04Speaker 6: Because this dog literally was walking all around the fawn
- 38:07Speaker 6: and the fawn just never.
- 38:08Speaker 7: Moved, and again we almost walked over it. And we've
- 38:11Speaker 7: learned from Darryl Payne about the incredible ability for dogs
- 38:15Speaker 7: to be able to smell so much.
- 38:17Speaker 5: Better than ourselves.
- 38:18Speaker 7: Some of those dogs they can smell bombs in cocaine
- 38:20Speaker 7: and so much luggage. I think they can spell another animal.
- 38:24Speaker 7: And the fact that they can't. This is wild and
- 38:27Speaker 7: they're so cute. I mean it is, I mean there's
- 38:31Speaker 7: and it's some of these are heartbreaking.
- 38:33Speaker 5: They are heartbreaking because.
- 38:34Speaker 2: The natural look of the deer is kind of like,
- 38:37Speaker 2: you know, like a you know, it's a very sympathetic character,
- 38:40Speaker 2: you know.
- 38:41Speaker 6: And if by chance, you know, they do also offer
- 38:43Speaker 6: summer camps and stuff like that. And if you've got
- 38:45Speaker 6: a kid at home that maybe wants to go into
- 38:48Speaker 6: environmental sciences or become a veterinarian or work at a
- 38:51Speaker 6: zoos someday, these are great volunteer opportunities to get some
- 38:56Speaker 6: experience under your belt and help out your local community.
- 38:58Speaker 6: And they've got a lot of really fun events coming
- 39:00Speaker 6: up as well. If you don't want to volunteer, maybe
- 39:03Speaker 6: just support them at one of their upcoming events.
- 39:04Speaker 5: You can do that too.
- 39:05Speaker 3: Good.
- 39:05Speaker 2: Well, what we'll do is we'll take a little break,
- 39:07Speaker 2: we'll come back and we'll talk to Debby about those
- 39:08Speaker 2: very things. Animal House up next here on the Jim
- 39:10Speaker 2: Colbert Show.
- 39:13Speaker 18: Ade female Deer. We'll leave the fallen alone during the
- 39:18Speaker 18: day off in the bushes. They have no set so
- 39:22Speaker 18: their predators can't pick them up. That's why they do
- 39:25Speaker 18: that then they come back for him later. You just
- 39:28Speaker 18: got to leave them alone.
- 39:30Speaker 3: Okay, I will gladly leave them alone. I don't want
- 39:33Speaker 3: to disrupt that family. Can you hear that?
- 39:34Speaker 14: Culvert?
- 39:35Speaker 2: Okay? All right for the seven nine four one text
- 39:38Speaker 2: us seven seven zero three one. Thanks for tuning in.

- 40:07Speaker 6: now please join me and welcoming back. Debbie halsl and
- 40:11Speaker 6: Luna the Eastern screech owl from the Back to Nature
- 40:13Speaker 6: Wildlife Refuge.
- 40:17Speaker 3: We have an owlcam today.
- 40:18Speaker 5: Do you have an owl cam today?
- 40:20Speaker 2: Jimilebert live dot com If you want to check out
- 40:22Speaker 2: Luna the owl. She's perched up on one of our
- 40:24Speaker 2: mic stands.
- 40:25Speaker 6: Maybe we could actually get her to like maybe talk
- 40:27Speaker 6: or something on the mic today. All right, she does
- 40:30Speaker 6: have her own motorphone right now. Yeah, and we don't
- 40:33Speaker 6: want her to worry about it being expensive equipment or anything.
- 40:37Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll too much. No, exactly.
- 40:42Speaker 15: She had one little droplet already.
- 40:43Speaker 3: So when we got here, she's fine.
- 40:47Speaker 5: I was told, as long as I clean it, they
- 40:49Speaker 5: can come.
- 40:49Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 40:49Speaker 5: Yeah, So how's it going, Debbie?
- 40:51Speaker 6: Before you, before we did Animal House, we talked about
- 40:54Speaker 6: the immense amount of animals you took care of alone
- 40:58Speaker 6: just in the month of April. What six hundred and.
- 41:00Speaker 10: Six hundred and seventy nine animals come in April alone?
- 41:03Speaker 10: It just it was the most. It was like three
- 41:05Speaker 10: hundred more than we well actually three hundred more than
- 41:09Speaker 10: what we're used to seeing about that time, but about
- 41:11Speaker 10: one hundred more than we've ever gotten in like in
- 41:14Speaker 10: our existence in one month.
- 41:15Speaker 15: So it was close to seven hundred animals.
- 41:17Speaker 3: Why the surge?
- 41:18Speaker 5: Yeah, what's it?
- 41:19Speaker 8: Is it?
- 41:19Speaker 5: A development?
- 41:20Speaker 10: It is development, you know, in my opinion, my humble opinion.
- 41:24Speaker 10: But you know, we're we're doing so much development. But
- 41:26Speaker 10: at the same time, it is baby season and a
- 41:29Speaker 10: lot more people are a lot more aware.
- 41:31Speaker 8: You know.
- 41:31Speaker 10: And but these animals don't have any place to go,
- 41:34Speaker 10: so they're frequenting, you know, the populated areas, so they're
- 41:38Speaker 10: making their homes in a lot of the residential areas.
- 41:42Speaker 10: And it just was a crazy boom. And I really
- 41:45Speaker 10: thought that it would be maybe a little bit less,
- 41:47Speaker 10: you know. I mean, we did get a tiny cold snap,
- 41:50Speaker 10: so I thought that might help, you know, with a
- 41:51Speaker 10: few things.
- 41:52Speaker 15: But this year, apparently it didn't do much of anything.
- 41:56Speaker 10: Well, they were coming from everywhere, and it was still
- 41:58Speaker 10: the ton that we turned away that we were unable
- 42:01Speaker 10: to take care of because we were dragging the floor.
- 42:04Speaker 6: So I want folks to really understand just how far
- 42:07Speaker 6: a wildlife rehabber will go when it comes to the dedication.
- 42:12Speaker 6: You were telling Jim and I that at one point,
- 42:14Speaker 6: how many babies at night were you bringing it that
- 42:16Speaker 6: you had to feed and take care of.
- 42:18Speaker 10: Yeah, well, you know, because the staff there's only two
- 42:21Speaker 10: of us really right now that are able to take
- 42:23Speaker 10: the babies home. And at one point during May, I
- 42:27Speaker 10: had sixteen bottle baby raccoons going home with me at
- 42:30Speaker 10: night and forty baby o possums at night.
- 42:33Speaker 15: Yeah, and that's just.
- 42:34Speaker 10: For around the clock care. That's not including everything you know,
- 42:37Speaker 10: during the day, plus working at that time because it
- 42:40Speaker 10: was so busy, like twelve to sixteen hours a day,
- 42:44Speaker 10: and it just I was dragging. I was ready to
- 42:47Speaker 10: really just fall down, and we were all in the
- 42:49Speaker 10: same boat. I mean, everybody was just plumb exhausted.
- 42:53Speaker 2: How do you I mean the possums, is that a
- 42:55Speaker 2: situation where the mom was killed or whatever, because they
- 42:58Speaker 2: have a bunch, don't they. I mean they right on
- 43:00Speaker 2: the mom's back or something.
- 43:01Speaker 19: Is they right?
- 43:01Speaker 10: Well, you know, most of the time we get them
- 43:03Speaker 10: because they're either dog attack.
- 43:05Speaker 15: Or hit by car.
- 43:07Speaker 10: Cat attack too rarely cat attack. Really, squirrels and birds
- 43:11Speaker 10: are more.
- 43:11Speaker 15: The cat attack. So the possums typically is dog attack.
- 43:15Speaker 10: And this dog attack on mom most of the time, right,
- 43:18Speaker 10: And so a lot of times she doesn't survive or
- 43:20Speaker 10: she might be really injured and we have to pull
- 43:22Speaker 10: the babies and take care of them independently, you know,
- 43:25Speaker 10: because she just exerting her energy to try and take
- 43:28Speaker 10: care of herself. And they're not fighters salvageable, no, not really,
- 43:32Speaker 10: even though they.
- 43:32Speaker 3: Have those awful looking teeth, very past.
- 43:35Speaker 15: Fifty in there.
- 43:36Speaker 10: That's a lot, you know, but but we get we
- 43:39Speaker 10: get a ton and usually you know, the opossums and
- 43:41Speaker 10: the songbirds are the highest number of intakes that we
- 43:44Speaker 10: get a year. Usually we're about a thousand or more
- 43:47Speaker 10: on the songbirds and usually between a thy and twelve
- 43:49Speaker 10: hundred possums a year.
- 43:51Speaker 3: Damn.
- 43:51Speaker 10: And I think we're already into like the seven hundreds
- 43:53Speaker 10: on possums already this year or pretty close to it.
- 43:57Speaker 6: So well, I know that you do a lot of
- 43:59Speaker 6: different programs in the community to try to make money
- 44:02Speaker 6: and make ends meet, like everyone does.
- 44:04Speaker 5: I had mentioned before. Do you do summer camps with
- 44:06Speaker 5: kids or are.
- 44:07Speaker 6: There volunteer opportunities maybe for like your older teenager who's
- 44:11Speaker 6: looking at their college major, maybe being environmental science or
- 44:15Speaker 6: veterinary medicine.
- 44:17Speaker 10: Right right now, we don't have any of those programs
- 44:19Speaker 10: available unfortunately, because of diability, you know, liability, and people
- 44:23Speaker 10: suing for a lot of things that they don't need
- 44:25Speaker 10: to be suing for. Great, Well, it is what it is,
- 44:28Speaker 10: you know, it's the reality. And and so unfortunately our
- 44:32Speaker 10: insurance doesn't cover anybody under eighteen.
- 44:35Speaker 2: Wow, So you hate to know you lost the place
- 44:38Speaker 2: because Philip got bitten by a coon.
- 44:40Speaker 15: I know, I know, it just it's unfortunate.
- 44:42Speaker 10: But there's a lot of people that would try to,
- 44:44Speaker 10: you know, take advantage of that, and we just can't
- 44:47Speaker 10: risk the opportunity, you know, for someone to you know,
- 44:51Speaker 10: to utilize us, to to have gain on that. It's
- 44:54Speaker 10: hard enough just for us to fundraise the money just
- 44:57Speaker 10: to stay open and keep doing what we're doing.
- 44:59Speaker 6: You know, I have to give you credit though, I
- 45:01Speaker 6: don't know who's helping you plan all of these events,
- 45:03Speaker 6: but for anyone who wants to support the Back to
- 45:05Speaker 6: Nature Wildlife Refuge, I mean, you've got something coming up
- 45:09Speaker 6: pretty much every month until the end of the year.
- 45:12Speaker 10: Yeah, well we have to, you know, keep at it,
- 45:14Speaker 10: you know, and and the audity is fair. We're working,
- 45:16Speaker 10: you know, Prometheus is allowing us to come and be
- 45:19Speaker 10: a part of that. But Prometheus also does the pumpkins
- 45:22Speaker 10: for Possums, where they they buy a whole truckload of
- 45:25Speaker 10: possums and they are possums. Yeah, they love that, I'll
- 45:29Speaker 10: tell you of pumpkins. And they sell the pumpkins to
- 45:33Speaker 10: raise money for us, and last year they raised eight
- 45:35Speaker 10: thousand dollars.
- 45:38Speaker 6: I know that the biggest buyer of pumpkins is going
- 45:41Speaker 6: to be Jim Colbert, because I think his favorite animal
- 45:44Speaker 6: in the whole world is the opossum.
- 45:46Speaker 2: Not a big fan of those, but I would gladly
- 45:48Speaker 2: help out as long as you take care of one owl,
- 45:50Speaker 2: that's all right. Well, I love owls so much. I
- 45:52Speaker 2: have no idea why I've become fascinated with them, but
- 45:55Speaker 2: they are a remarkable animal.
- 45:58Speaker 3: Give them.
- 45:58Speaker 6: That compliments the story with Luna.
- 46:01Speaker 15: Well, Luna, Yeah, Luna.
- 46:03Speaker 10: We've had since twenty seventeen. And she flew into the
- 46:06Speaker 10: building of the Orange County Environmental Protection Division.
- 46:09Speaker 5: Wow, that's very ironic, right, all things to crash into.
- 46:12Speaker 10: And you know they're strictly nocturnal, so she's only out
- 46:15Speaker 10: at night time. And the likelihood is she was chasing
- 46:18Speaker 10: a moth or something or another and she wasn't paying
- 46:20Speaker 10: attention and she slammed into the building.
- 46:23Speaker 15: I guess it's the window.
- 46:25Speaker 6: She looks a little insulted as you talk about it.
- 46:27Speaker 6: She looks like she turned her head.
- 46:29Speaker 10: She did, and she's fully recovered. But the only thing
- 46:32Speaker 10: wrong is that she won't hunt. She will not hunt
- 46:35Speaker 10: no matter what, and even you know in her enclosure
- 46:38Speaker 10: outside where she's at you know, little lizards and things
- 46:42Speaker 10: go through there and she does not give one iota,
- 46:46Speaker 10: So she likes her meals delivered to her.
- 46:50Speaker 15: Do you really have to work?
- 46:52Speaker 18: I know?
- 46:53Speaker 7: So I don't know.
- 46:54Speaker 10: I mean maybe she can you know, hunt on her own.
- 46:56Speaker 10: But she heard that if you go to back to
- 46:58Speaker 10: nature and you pretend like something's wrong, you know, you
- 47:01Speaker 10: get free room service and free.
- 47:02Speaker 15: Room your whole life.
- 47:04Speaker 2: We were just talking about fawns and the idea of
- 47:06Speaker 2: you know, fawns being scent listens up at a certain
- 47:08Speaker 2: age and everything like that. You guys also take in
- 47:10Speaker 2: fawns or foxes or anything like that.
- 47:12Speaker 10: Well we get you know, on occasion, we do get foxes.
- 47:14Speaker 10: You know, everything is dependent upon you know, what we
- 47:17Speaker 10: have the space for. Unfortunately, we don't have the proper
- 47:20Speaker 10: provisions for for deer, for fawns. You know, we could
- 47:24Speaker 10: on a temporary basis, but then we have to send
- 47:27Speaker 10: them to another facility that specializes more with them. And
- 47:30Speaker 10: actually they're down either in Melbourne or over in Fort Pierce.
- 47:33Speaker 10: We have to send them there, gotcha. But a lot
- 47:35Speaker 10: of times they're kidnapped. People just don't give the parents
- 47:37Speaker 10: enough time. The parents hide those babies during the day
- 47:40Speaker 10: while they're out doing whatever they want to do and
- 47:43Speaker 10: forge and and they come back for the babies and
- 47:44Speaker 10: then they're like, what the heck, where'd my baby die?
- 47:47Speaker 6: You heard that if you remember, there was a viral
- 47:49Speaker 6: story a couple of years ago of a man who
- 47:52Speaker 6: thought he was rescuing a baby bison from the side
- 47:55Speaker 6: of the road. And it turns out and even it's
- 47:58Speaker 6: even the case with some With some birds that you
- 48:00Speaker 6: might see if they have some feathers, the chances are
- 48:03Speaker 6: their fledglings and their parents are still watching out for them,
- 48:07Speaker 6: but they're practicing flying. It's when you see a baby
- 48:10Speaker 6: bird with no feathers on it, that's when you know
- 48:13Speaker 6: that has to be rescued, because there's no survival without
- 48:16Speaker 6: any feathers. But a lot of times you're right. People
- 48:18Speaker 6: want to do the right thing for the baby animal,
- 48:21Speaker 6: and more often than not, we act first right and
- 48:24Speaker 6: think later. So for most people, you tell them, if
- 48:27Speaker 6: you see a baby fond, just leave it alone for
- 48:28Speaker 6: a day or two, well, you.
- 48:30Speaker 15: Know, keep your eyes open.
- 48:31Speaker 10: And then you know, people are getting smarter these days
- 48:34Speaker 10: about a lot of that. And you have a lot
- 48:35Speaker 10: of very conscientious people who put the little cameras out
- 48:38Speaker 10: right and they to see. They put the cameras out
- 48:40Speaker 10: to see if the parents come back, and so they
- 48:42Speaker 10: can tell you for sure. I've been watching this thing
- 48:45Speaker 10: for day and a half. But in the heat that
- 48:47Speaker 10: we have right now, you can't. I mean, you know,
- 48:50Speaker 10: it's a catch twenty two. You leave it too long,
- 48:54Speaker 10: it's super dehydrated. It's gonna have issues. But you don't
- 48:56Speaker 10: wait long enough. Mom might come and go, what'd you
- 48:59Speaker 10: do with my baby? You know where to baby goes?
- 49:01Speaker 2: And they only feed for mom, right, They would not
- 49:02Speaker 2: go to a puddle and drink or would they Well,
- 49:04Speaker 2: it depends on.
- 49:05Speaker 15: The size of them.
- 49:06Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean they might, but it's it wouldn't be
- 49:08Speaker 10: normal for them.
- 49:09Speaker 15: Just right off the bat to know that.
- 49:11Speaker 2: We just got a text in here I want to
- 49:13Speaker 2: bring up. It says I live in Eustas out near
- 49:15Speaker 2: deb and myself, and they said they have a sandhill
- 49:17Speaker 2: crane that's in their backyard with a pretty severe limp.
- 49:20Speaker 2: Is that something you guys handle or who should they call?
- 49:22Speaker 15: Well?
- 49:23Speaker 10: You know, and again, even with something like a sandhill crane,
- 49:25Speaker 10: you're in a situation where.
- 49:27Speaker 15: There's very few people who do rehab.
- 49:30Speaker 10: That are set up for that, and if it has
- 49:33Speaker 10: a limp, it doesn't necessarily mean that it needs to
- 49:35Speaker 10: be removed from the area that it is, because dependent
- 49:38Speaker 10: on the injury, you may just have costed its life.
- 49:42Speaker 10: Because there's a lot of regulations that say if it
- 49:44Speaker 10: comes in with this injury, this injury, this injury, it's
- 49:47Speaker 10: an automatic you think, so, you know, but if it's
- 49:50Speaker 10: doing okay, and it's been that way going on for
- 49:53Speaker 10: a little bit, just monitor it and then if it
- 49:56Speaker 10: gets worse, you know, but they can always call us
- 49:59Speaker 10: and have that understation with us, you know.
- 50:01Speaker 6: Which the good thing is if you can't take care
- 50:04Speaker 6: of it, you have other wildlife rehabilitation or organizations you
- 50:07Speaker 6: work with, right.
- 50:08Speaker 10: Well, I mean there are other places, but very few
- 50:11Speaker 10: are set up for it because a fair portion of
- 50:14Speaker 10: rehabbers are doing it out of their home or they specialize.
- 50:17Speaker 10: And now there's so many new regulations when it comes
- 50:20Speaker 10: to doing rehab at all, and if you don't have
- 50:23Speaker 10: a license that includes certain species, you're not even allowed
- 50:26Speaker 10: to take them. Yeah, so it's gotten a lot more
- 50:29Speaker 10: serious over the years, you know, even much more strict.
- 50:32Speaker 15: I guess I should say with the rehab.
- 50:33Speaker 6: So where do folks go to see all the different
- 50:36Speaker 6: events that you've got coming up, including June twenty seventh,
- 50:39Speaker 6: like she mentioned Prometheus Oddity's Fair that's taking place at
- 50:43Speaker 6: Osciola Heritage Park that's June twenty seventh. But then you've
- 50:46Speaker 6: got the Baby Squirrels Shower, the virtual event in July
- 50:50Speaker 6: owl Aween for Jimmy.
- 50:52Speaker 5: That celebrates for Halloween.
- 50:54Speaker 6: So where's the website that folks go to to get
- 50:57Speaker 6: the information and is that the place they can buy
- 50:59Speaker 6: tickets as well?
- 51:00Speaker 10: Yeah, well it's bt N Wildlife dot org okay. And
- 51:04Speaker 10: Prometheus that's through Prometheus. That's not really us, we're just attending, okay,
- 51:09Speaker 10: so you know.
- 51:10Speaker 8: And then the.
- 51:10Speaker 15: Virtual Squirrel Shower.
- 51:11Speaker 10: We don't quite have a date for that yet and
- 51:13Speaker 10: it might just be a weekend kind of thing. Wild
- 51:16Speaker 10: for Wildlife. It used to be called Wine for Wildlife,
- 51:19Speaker 10: but there was a lot of people that felt that
- 51:21Speaker 10: it was just about wine and it's not. So a
- 51:23Speaker 10: lot of a lot of things have changed because we
- 51:25Speaker 10: used to do it a quantumly winery, ye and now
- 51:27Speaker 10: that that that's not the same anymore.
- 51:29Speaker 15: You know, we have a new venue and all that
- 51:31Speaker 15: kind of things, so.
- 51:33Speaker 6: Changed it wine for wildlife. So BTN wildlife dot org
- 51:39Speaker 6: is the place to go for all of the event
- 51:41Speaker 6: information and and to sponsor an animal like Luna.
- 51:44Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah, Well we're grateful for you know, people
- 51:46Speaker 10: that are stepping up to the plate to help us.
- 51:48Speaker 10: You know, we've been so busy with the animals, it's
- 51:50Speaker 10: really set us behind on some of the fundraising. You know,
- 51:53Speaker 10: we were trying our best to keep up with everything
- 51:55Speaker 10: that's coming in, but at the same time wearing a
- 51:58Speaker 10: whole lot of other hats, trying to be a fundraiser too,
- 52:01Speaker 10: and one you got to raise four hundred thousand dollars
- 52:03Speaker 10: a year.
- 52:04Speaker 15: It's not so easy to keep up with them, especially
- 52:06Speaker 15: just two of you, well, me and Luna.
- 52:09Speaker 3: Right right.
- 52:11Speaker 15: Now, there's there's quite a few of us, you know.
- 52:13Speaker 10: I mean, we had to hire three part time staff
- 52:15Speaker 10: just to keep up with what's coming in. But you know,
- 52:17Speaker 10: unfortunately they're not able to take babies home, so it
- 52:21Speaker 10: just leaves it with me and Kelly for the most part.
- 52:24Speaker 10: Right now, that are the ones that are taking babies
- 52:27Speaker 10: at the moment.
- 52:28Speaker 3: And again that's btnwildlife dot org.
- 52:31Speaker 6: And I'll be posting the Animal House podcast in the
- 52:33Speaker 6: next few minutes in case you missed any of the

- 54:47Speaker 2: from online that DeAndre skits have become like beyond gigantic.
- 54:52Speaker 3: Dude.
- 54:52Speaker 2: When I saw that for the first time, I was like,
- 54:54Speaker 2: that is so jolly, That is so you dude is.
- 54:57Speaker 20: Bringing like a different people to the club. You know,
- 55:00Speaker 20: it's more like people who like crude human. I wouldn't
- 55:04Speaker 20: even call it crew, just funny, you know what I mean,
- 55:06Speaker 20: Like adults are coming to the show like all colors, black, white, Asian.
- 55:10Speaker 3: It's so ridiculous. That's so stupid.
- 55:12Speaker 2: I think that's what makes it. I mean, it's so
- 55:14Speaker 2: funny knowing you for a while, like I can only
- 55:17Speaker 2: picture you shooting these things and saying to yourself, this
- 55:19Speaker 2: is so ridiculous. It is hitting so hard.
- 55:23Speaker 20: Man, because I mean, like I made one that was
- 55:25Speaker 20: like Deandre's Chinese restaurant and animal shelter. When I made out,
- 55:30Speaker 20: when I was like, oh, I can say anything at this.
- 55:32Speaker 3: Point because nobody getting mad. They know it's just stupid.
- 55:34Speaker 2: It's just stupid jokes, but they're great. Where did idea
- 55:37Speaker 2: come from the DeAndre thing?
- 55:39Speaker 20: Well, I was I wanted to make like a waffle
- 55:43Speaker 20: House training program, like if I was worked out, Like
- 55:46Speaker 20: you know how you go into a job and they
- 55:48Speaker 20: bring the TV out and you know, you a little
- 55:52Speaker 20: training video. I thought of that, and then me and
- 55:54Speaker 20: Jake were shooting it, and he was like, hey, man,
- 55:58Speaker 20: let's let's shoot like a extra one too. Let's make
- 56:01Speaker 20: another like with his character. And we did the Mechanic one.
- 56:04Speaker 20: And when we did that, that got like a million
- 56:06Speaker 20: views and like one day, and I was like, yeah,
- 56:08Speaker 20: we're gonna keep doing this.
- 56:10Speaker 2: Yeah, and that Jake is Jake Rica, who also is
- 56:12Speaker 2: another Orlando comic that wound up kind of going out
- 56:15Speaker 2: to Austin like a lot of the Orlando comics have. Yeah,
- 56:17Speaker 2: kind of got there to the mother Ship and man
- 56:19Speaker 2: like you and uh and oh god, I just I
- 56:23Speaker 2: just drew it up total blank. Jimmy, Yeah, oh yeah, Cam, Yeah, Cam.
- 56:27Speaker 2: I wanted to say Cat, but yeah, Cam, I mean
- 56:29Speaker 2: that whole crew. You guys would do open mics at
- 56:31Speaker 2: Bulling Bush and my wife. But I sitting in the
- 56:33Speaker 2: front row and want you guys come out, do your
- 56:35Speaker 2: minutes and then get the hell out of dogs.
- 56:36Speaker 3: Yeah, you will never smile.
- 56:37Speaker 20: You just you might if he smile like that's a
- 56:40Speaker 20: good joke, Jim smiling at it.
- 56:45Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, dude, it was.
- 56:46Speaker 2: It's so wild watching a lot of these people that
- 56:49Speaker 2: we watched you open mics.
- 56:51Speaker 3: You know, go and just hit it and it lets
- 56:53Speaker 3: you know.
- 56:53Speaker 2: And you said it perfectly, like Orlando isn't the place
- 56:56Speaker 2: where you will get to that next level on comedy,
- 56:59Speaker 2: But I think Orlando is a spot you get great.
- 57:02Speaker 2: You can kickstart your career here. There are good enough
- 57:04Speaker 2: open mics here where you can get some time.
- 57:06Speaker 20: Man, Orlando in Florida is the best comedy scene by far.
- 57:10Speaker 20: I don't care who hear it. None of y'all could
- 57:12Speaker 20: hold weight to nobody from Orlando, period, like, because you
- 57:16Speaker 20: could just get up so much. Then you got real
- 57:18Speaker 20: audience members, and you got people who don't know what's
- 57:21Speaker 20: an open mic going on tonight, so I mean it's
- 57:23Speaker 20: a mix.
- 57:24Speaker 3: And then you got like.
- 57:25Speaker 20: The Bulling Bush. That show is great, like every second
- 57:28Speaker 20: sad every two weeks. So I mean, you can really
- 57:31Speaker 20: grow if you keep your head down and just stay
- 57:34Speaker 20: focused on that and don't get caught up with the
- 57:36Speaker 20: riffer having out of other nonsense that come with politics
- 57:39Speaker 20: of anything.
- 57:39Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 57:39Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
- 57:40Speaker 2: The funny thing is I just met a friend that
- 57:42Speaker 2: this couple we've known forever, they're fans of the show.

- 1:00:23Speaker 2: Right, and you do this all the time, right, yeah, yeah,
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: that's real and it never happened, right, yeah, right, because
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: back in the day, man, you know, before you got sober.
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: Is it fair for me to say that? Yeah, I mean, well,
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: I just enjoyed myself.
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: You know, And I'm not I'm not dogging a dog,
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: but I mean you, your path now is so different
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: than what it was back then, and you were so funny,
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: but as a as a broadcaster, I didn't feel like
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: it take the chance.
- 1:00:47Speaker 20: Because yeah, yeah, yeah, it might get a little crazy,
- 1:00:51Speaker 20: but I didn't want to be I didn't want to
- 1:00:52Speaker 20: because you were so funny.
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: Dog. So you're saying it's not because he's black. You
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: were so funny and I wanted you to have it on.
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: You's so bad, But I just didn't know where you
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: would go, where you would do at that time in
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: your life.
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I get it. I mean I didn't give
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: you no credit for being a good for being that guy.
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: It's all good.
- 1:01:10Speaker 20: Like I listened to one one show it was like
- 1:01:13Speaker 20: probably years ago, and y'all were talking about the dirt
- 1:01:16Speaker 20: that'sying went apart, where they getting the dirt to build something.
- 1:01:20Speaker 20: So I understand who watching the show. They don't want
- 1:01:22Speaker 20: nothing too crazy to day have already crazy enough. You know,
- 1:01:26Speaker 20: you gotta have some ballad.

- 1:01:35Speaker 3: I still use it.
- 1:01:36Speaker 20: You still use the same but now I got it
- 1:01:39Speaker 20: to where it's like, Cuz I'm not pro or or
- 1:01:42Speaker 20: none of that. I just think it's funny the element
- 1:01:44Speaker 20: that I'm coming at with that joke. So I mean,
- 1:01:47Speaker 20: I try to piss off Republicans and Democrats.
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: You just know, man, just just love people. Man, That's
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: the only thing that mattered.

- 1:02:21Speaker 20: his thing, Like everybody's just grinding. It's the opportunity is there.
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: It's like.
- 1:02:27Speaker 20: Fifteen clubs, it's thirty shows every night, so it's an
- 1:02:30Speaker 20: opportunity if you want to get up and they real
- 1:02:33Speaker 20: shows what people paying money to go to.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: What's that scene in Austin, like compared to Orlando. I
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: know that that downtown scene near that club is Banana's
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: at sixth Street. Scene is all I mean, it's out
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: of control.
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: It's like four or five clubs.
- 1:02:45Speaker 20: You got Sunset, you got Mothership, you got Creaking the Cave,
- 1:02:49Speaker 20: you got Vulkan, you got Black Rabbit. This is all
- 1:02:52Speaker 20: walking distey. Yeah, that's not to say bar shows. And
- 1:02:55Speaker 20: it's like a lot of tours are coming there for
- 1:02:58Speaker 20: comedy and making that like they're whole vacation.
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: So that's pretty cool, you know. Yeah, So what are
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: you using for to write material right now? What are
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: you focusing on or is it just things that happened
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: to you in your life.
- 1:03:09Speaker 20: Yeah, I got a lot of old stuff I got
- 1:03:11Speaker 20: written down and I need to kind of craft. But
- 1:03:15Speaker 20: like I'll just write it in my notes, like write something,
- 1:03:17Speaker 20: and then I'll go on stage and I might just
- 1:03:19Speaker 20: talk about it the first time, like not even really
- 1:03:22Speaker 20: have a joke about it, just like they react. Yeah,
- 1:03:24Speaker 20: see how they react to it, and then go back
- 1:03:27Speaker 20: and then like write it down more or I'll voice
- 1:03:30Speaker 20: recorded just so I can hear it before I go
- 1:03:32Speaker 20: on stage. So I mean, like it, it's a lot different.
- 1:03:35Speaker 20: It all depended too. Some of it. I write it
- 1:03:37Speaker 20: all out then I throw the paper away as soon
- 1:03:39Speaker 20: as I get on stage, and I hate it.
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: We're talking to David Jolly, or Lando comic. He'll be

- 1:04:21Speaker 20: or fifteen minute spots. I go to them, then I
- 1:04:24Speaker 20: go to another club. Somebody throw me on this show.

- 1:04:30Speaker 20: of change on Monday and by Friday. You can work
- 1:04:35Speaker 20: it so many times so you can kind of think
- 1:04:37Speaker 20: about doing that on the weekend, you know what I mean,
- 1:04:41Speaker 20: Like you can just you got nothing, no choice but
- 1:04:43Speaker 20: to grow long as you keep your head down and
- 1:04:45Speaker 20: just and you're just working.
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: Cause it's different crowds.
- 1:04:48Speaker 20: You got like liberal crowds, you got conservative crowds, and
- 1:04:52Speaker 20: like this part of town might be these people like this,
- 1:04:54Speaker 20: and I can take this from here to see if
- 1:04:58Speaker 20: they react to it, then I know it's a good Joe.
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just actually talking about Ross that very thing,
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: because he works different rooms. He worked at golf club
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: the other night and he goes, Man, you just got
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: to go in there and kind of figure out what
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: they're liking.
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: Yeah, and then feed them that as much as possible
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: and get out of here. You got you gotta know
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: where to get out. You're gonna do any acting?
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: I mean, I gotta tell you, dude, I think you
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: have the acting thing because you're You're just unique enough
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: to pull that off. Is that Does that interest you

- 1:05:38Speaker 20: want to give it away from it. It's pretty good. Yeah,
- 1:05:41Speaker 20: I'm we're gonna shop that, or if not, just try
- 1:05:44Speaker 20: to just shoot it ourselves.
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: And you have to do that because I mean, you
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: look at Shane, he got the Tires gig, and of
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: course that comes off the heat of his comedy career.
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: But that Austin scene and those comics are so hot
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: right now. It just seems like Hollywood or anybody, Netflix,
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: any of the streaming companies would just automatically be drawn,
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: you guys, because there's so much heat right now.
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: You know.
- 1:06:02Speaker 20: But like the thing about Austin, like I love it,
- 1:06:06Speaker 20: Everybody happy to be there, everybody happy to be doing comedy.
- 1:06:09Speaker 20: Then you got like people from New York, they already
- 1:06:12Speaker 20: just angry all the time.
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: They're sad.
- 1:06:15Speaker 20: It's like, don't like then they'll take shots ay Austin,
- 1:06:19Speaker 20: and nobody ever respond, Like only person respond is Tony.
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: Because he liked to keep up with it, you know.
- 1:06:24Speaker 20: Other than that, we're like, man, why do y'all just
- 1:06:26Speaker 20: why would you just here last month doing our spots
- 1:06:29Speaker 20: if you hate it so much?
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: So it's it's it's sad. It's sad people hate that much.
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: How about LA Comics? So they come a roll out,
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: I know it. There's like, you know, there's always been
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: rumors of this mass exodus of LA comics leading there
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: because the scene is I mean, it's still strong, no question,
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: but you know, again, the Austin heat is so hot
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: right now.
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: You guys get a lot of.
- 1:06:47Speaker 20: LA comics come out, and then like it's a lot
- 1:06:49Speaker 20: of them that store comics, they'll come out do the
- 1:06:51Speaker 20: Mothership for a while. For like a week, do as
- 1:06:54Speaker 20: many shows as they can, then do it again next
- 1:06:56Speaker 20: month because they're afraid to just like just leave la.
- 1:07:00Speaker 20: A lot of people are afraid to just say, Okay
- 1:07:02Speaker 20: that lay's over. Yeah you know, I mean, I'm not
- 1:07:05Speaker 20: saying it's over. It's just it's just growing as a comic.
- 1:07:08Speaker 20: You can get up so many times in Austin in
- 1:07:12Speaker 20: walking distance.
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: And how much does the online stuff matter to comics
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: like that now? Like when you guys talk about you know,
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: obviously with Joe, he clips up the podcast quite a bit.
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: Shane's got a lot of clips out there for not
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: only to stand up from his own people, I mean
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: in your world and in the comedy world. How important
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: is that aspect of getting to that next level?
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: Oh?
- 1:07:32Speaker 20: I mean like to me me personally, what I think
- 1:07:35Speaker 20: is to be able to touch another person is important.
- 1:07:39Speaker 20: You know, like put something out because you never know
- 1:07:41Speaker 20: watching like with DeAndre like that the Chinese restaurant at
- 1:07:44Speaker 20: Adam Michelle to just hit again in Facebook. So it's
- 1:07:47Speaker 20: been another three million people that have seen it because
- 1:07:50Speaker 20: it's just in rotation.
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: People are like, however, to out sharing sharing it and
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: sharing it and they never would have known who I
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: was without social media. So I mean, how are you
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: re acting to this?
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: I mean, I gotta tell you again, the scene right
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: now is way different than it was with you four
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: years ago. Ye cut throat out here. Now, man, what's
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: it like for you? Like you've got great success now.
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: I'm sure you're making great money. Now, how has life
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: changed for you since this has happened?
- 1:08:17Speaker 20: Uh, just more notoriety and when it comes to like
- 1:08:20Speaker 20: people in the airports and stuff like that, like coming up.
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: Like dollars, just something crazy. That's pretty cool.
- 1:08:26Speaker 20: But I mean, like I still keep the same people
- 1:08:28Speaker 20: that I had before around me.
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: Yeah.

- 1:09:04Speaker 2: the mother hen of comedy.
- 1:09:06Speaker 20: Of Chris is the backbone of Orlando comedy. When it
- 1:09:09Speaker 20: comes to a club and she does a great job,
- 1:09:12Speaker 20: she takes she breaks her neck and puts her neck

- 1:10:01Speaker 20: have an underlying line of hate, but of them, no,
- 1:10:06Speaker 20: I mean not like the Orlando comedy scene. I love it, man,
- 1:10:09Speaker 20: Like everybody still showed me love. I'm the same person,
- 1:10:12Speaker 20: you know, like nobody acting different. You know, you see
- 1:10:14Speaker 20: the younger comics that just started and they're like wow,
- 1:10:18Speaker 20: and it's like, you know ya, I mean it's kind
- 1:10:20Speaker 20: of cool.
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean.
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: I used to watch that guy do three minutes dip
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: out and that was the whole thing. The next thing,
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: you know, Cam's on that CNL. It's crazy, man.
- 1:10:29Speaker 20: The crazy part is like when when he asked me, like,
- 1:10:32Speaker 20: hey man, you think I should do SNL because you know,
- 1:10:34Speaker 20: SNL isn't the same to our age demograviht to her,
- 1:10:37Speaker 20: that's a no brainer, and he was like I just
- 1:10:40Speaker 20: told him. I was like, hey man, if you want
- 1:10:41Speaker 20: to make a lot of money what you're doing now,
- 1:10:43Speaker 20: of course, don't leave. But if you want to be
- 1:10:45Speaker 20: a household name, because that CNEL still, no matter how
- 1:10:49Speaker 20: popular they get to what everyone else is thinking, it's
- 1:10:53Speaker 20: still people watching S and L that make humongous decisions
- 1:10:57Speaker 20: for your life.
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Well, just being in that
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: world because I mean, you know, Lauren Michaels has production companies.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: I mean, you know, we look at what Sandler and
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: he did when that whole career that he's had.
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: Me Lordn Michaels is part of all that, all those
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: all Mike Nyers.
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: Movies, all that stuff, that's all Lauren Michaels Orlandia.
- 1:11:12Speaker 20: He I mean, I look at credits now when it
- 1:11:15Speaker 20: comes like sketching stuff, and every time I look, it'll
- 1:11:18Speaker 20: say Lauryn Michaels executive.
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: I'm like, this man is a superhero going on.
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: Just being in that guy's world is value, Like you,
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: I mean, if they if they didn't pay that dude anything,
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: being in that in that world is so valuable.
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: I heard he's such a great guy.
- 1:11:33Speaker 20: I love to hear stories about people becoming like crazy
- 1:11:37Speaker 20: successful and like not really changing. Yeah yeah, yeah, you
- 1:11:41Speaker 20: know what I mean, like just being yourself. Like if
- 1:11:43Speaker 20: you meet Joe Rogan, I tell people this, I hate
- 1:11:46Speaker 20: this slack. Did those boys get him Shane and and
- 1:11:49Speaker 20: Tony about like racism?
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: Hell no, they just comics.

- 1:11:59Speaker 3: We committed.
- 1:12:00Speaker 20: But it should be like a line of like when
- 1:12:02Speaker 20: when we in the green room, you don't tell anybody
- 1:12:04Speaker 20: else what's going on in the green room.
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: It's just the boys. Yeah.
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: I love it, man, I love I love that entire
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: fraternity that you guys have.
- 1:12:11Speaker 20: That's great, Like like Joe Rogan is one of the
- 1:12:14Speaker 20: most humble people you will ever meet in your life.
- 1:12:16Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 1:12:17Speaker 20: Ever, I mean, of course there's people in the space
- 1:12:19Speaker 20: all day, but like he's a great dude. Man, Like
- 1:12:23Speaker 20: I'm a I'm a friend of Joe Rogan and I
- 1:12:25Speaker 20: and I remember Ross McCoy told me that he was like, man,
- 1:12:28Speaker 20: you're gonna move out there to Austin and you're gonna
- 1:12:30Speaker 20: become friends with Joe Rogan and like no time.
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, that'll be cool.
- 1:12:35Speaker 20: And then it actually happened, and I'm like, what is
- 1:12:37Speaker 20: going on right now?
- 1:12:38Speaker 9: Man?
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: It didn't run white walk in the room. And I'm like,

- 1:13:23Speaker 11: And I really liked Don Rickles and I'll tell you
- 1:13:25Speaker 11: Uncle Fester was really funny too, so far as politicians go, though,
- 1:13:30Speaker 11: I really can't stand that, damn Rick Scott. I don't
- 1:13:34Speaker 11: know there was a common thread there somewhere, but I
- 1:13:36Speaker 11: kind of forgot it.
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: All right. Hey guys, I hope you guess is doing well.
- 1:13:40Speaker 6: Well.
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: I found it. I found the big green egg right here,
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: sitting right here at it's hardware. I'm just gonna take
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: this one right here. Let's just roll it right out,
- 1:13:50Speaker 3: all right, Welcome back. I'm Jim there, DEBI hello here. Yeah. Yeah,
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: we're gonna have a short segment here because we ran
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: David a little long.
- 1:13:58Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: Man, I gotta tell you, man, it's it really is
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: a great success story. He is such a great success story,
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: you know. You know again, back in the day when
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: he was letting it go a little bit and partying down,
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: I was a little worried about him because he'd get loose.
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: But he had so much natural talent and so much
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: stage presence that you knew if he could just fight
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: that one demon and I get beyond that, that he
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: could do okay, And man, he really has. He took
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: the initiative to go out to Austin and leave everything
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: he knew behind, to go out to that new world
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: and have people texting their big Rogan fans that know
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: about Dave. And he's just a good dude, man, he
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: really is. He's been that humble in kind since I've
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: known him. That's a leap you have to take.
- 1:14:38Speaker 7: Many have taken it, and and some have them done well,
- 1:14:41Speaker 7: not everyone, but you know, not everyone can take that leap,
- 1:14:45Speaker 7: whether you kind of establish roots and you're just not
- 1:14:49Speaker 7: able to kind of cut and go to a new
- 1:14:51Speaker 7: city like that.
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: But good for him for taking that, man, good chance.
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: It's just so nice to see like Orlando comedians and
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: Orlando entertainers out there in the world kind of mixing
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: it up with feel validated, not validated in a sense.
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: It's just kind of cool to know them. It's just
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: kind of cool to know somebody that's in that scene
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, yeah, the Mothership. Like my wife
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: does business in Austin all the time, and she was
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: out there and every time she goes she goes to
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: the Mothership. We actually that that terrible comedy show I
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: told you guys about that most traumatic thing in the
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: world that happened at the Creek of the Cave. That
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: that bar he just mentioned, that's where that happened. Yeah,
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: So it's like all that scene out there is like
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: creating a new comedy scene, like no differently than New
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: York and La did and Boston actually for a while
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: with like Dennis Leary and those guys.
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: This is the new scene.
- 1:15:38Speaker 7: I think there is a little bit of validation though
- 1:15:40Speaker 7: when you when cool things that are recognized nationally have
- 1:15:45Speaker 7: an origin from Orlando, because sometimes Orlando takes hits like
- 1:15:49Speaker 7: Florida takes hits all the international you know platform, or
- 1:15:54Speaker 7: Orlando does as well as Oh it's a theme park town.
- 1:15:57Speaker 7: So when cool things happen, whether it's can or it's
- 1:16:00Speaker 7: David's success as well. Just said, oh they're from Orlando,
- 1:16:03Speaker 7: You're like, oh Orlando yeaheah, you know, And everybody has
- 1:16:07Speaker 7: that little story about and it's so funny. This is
- 1:16:09Speaker 7: almost the top topic in itself.
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: Everybody has that story of that band they saw or
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: you know that before anybody saw him. Like I remember
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: we talked about this one time and a guy text
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: in and he goes, yeah, I remember being in Seattle
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: and going to a school show and it was Nirvana, Oh.
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: Wow, you know.
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: Or being in New York and going to see a
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: show and like hardly anybody there and it was the
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: Talking Heads or Blondie or whomever. Right, And I don't
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: have one of those stories, like I don't have a
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: music or the cat Ridgeway. But it really was our
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: dad that reached out to me. It wasn't like I
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: found her in the club one day it was like
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: your dad reached out and said, hey, my daughter does music.
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: Can you help, And I was like, yeah, we can help.
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: You know, she's cool, He's cool. But I haven't had
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: that experience yet, have you. Have you had anything like
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: that where you see a show way before anybody else,
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: Like Kaiser Chiefs. Remember when they opened up. They were
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: already a hit though, but they opened up for the
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: Red Hot Chili Peppers.
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: I think it was was.
- 1:16:56Speaker 7: That who was Yeah, No, no, it was Green to
- 1:16:59Speaker 7: Day that's it. Yeah, yeah, and it's funny and until
- 1:17:01Speaker 7: you remember that, I didn't. If you were have asked
- 1:17:03Speaker 7: me before you told me this, I would have said,
- 1:17:06Speaker 7: I've never seen the band Kaiser Chiefs and I was
- 1:17:08Speaker 7: at that concert.
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're incredible. I mean they are an incredible band.
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: Matter of fact, I think their show that night was
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: way better than Green Days. But again, oh you don't
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: like the politics, Yeah, but they were already there. It
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: was already they were already kind of making it up me.
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: They were opening for a band that was big already.
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: So in they're in their home area, they'd already kind
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: of made it. But here in the States, like I
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: didn't know any Amanda Mollie knew about them, yep, like
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: she was a big fan already. You know, I'll chiese
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: everything UK Yeah, yeah, a right four oh seven nine
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: one six four one text us at seven seven zero
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: three one. There is a problem in the bedroom nationally,

- 1:19:19Speaker 2: six one of four one texts seven seven zero three one.
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: You know, I was.
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: Wrong, as I am always Earlier, I said that I
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: hadn't been on the bottom floor of any act that
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: made it big, and that is not true. People who
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: listen to the show actually have my memory more than
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: I have my own memory. Yeah, but yeah, we were
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: on the bottom floor of the Tabitha's Secret, which turned
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: into Matchbox twenty. There you go, Rob Thomas. Yeah, Rob
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: Thomas and those guys. A matter of fact, I believe
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: the first time that three AM was ever played live
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: on a radio show was our show back in ninety
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: three or four, if I remember right. So we did
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: get to do that. That was a bottom four scenario.
- 1:19:56Speaker 3: I peed next to him, Did you really tiny, fella? Yeah?
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not that big and wait height yeah, right
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: right right? But his mom, I remember his mom was
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: the wildest thing, because when they made it, he came
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: back into the building and this is when I was
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: with the Monsters and Russ and I both kind of
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: look at this the same way, like we felt that,
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: you know, we'd given those guys an opportunity here in
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: Orlando to promote and everything, and they came back after
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: he'd made it. This was actually just probably maybe ten
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: years ago, eight ten years ago, and he came back
- 1:20:24Speaker 2: in the building to promote a show they were doing,
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: and his mom was with him, and we remember that
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: his mom was kind of a unique person, and I
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: think they lived in a car together for a while,
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: and at one point Rob was sleeping in like park
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: benches like he had nowhere to go. And his mom
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: is a very eccentric person. And I remember when they
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: came back in. We'd heard that they were here and
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: we were going to try to get him to come
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: down because they were scheduled to go on Excel Or
- 1:20:50Speaker 2: j R. I can't remember which one it was. I
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: want to say it was XCEL. And when we went
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: into the lobby to see if he was out, there
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: was the old lobby. We looked around the corners because
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: you could look to the glass and see it was
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: just mom.
- 1:21:02Speaker 3: His mom was sitting there. He was already on the
- 1:21:03Speaker 3: air and there were no green rooms, so she just
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: sat there. She was asleep in the lobby where he
- 1:21:09Speaker 3: had to be a fifty thousand dollars fur coat. Oh wow, Yeah,
- 1:21:12Speaker 3: just dripping in diamonds and and uh fur and everything
- 1:21:16Speaker 3: passed out in the lobby because her uh, her boy,
- 1:21:19Speaker 3: her her son was Rob Thomas with all that great success.
- 1:21:23Speaker 3: I mean, he just dripped her in it. No more
- 1:21:25Speaker 3: living in cars for them, yeah, no more of that. Yeah.
- 1:21:27Speaker 3: So that's the only one. I've got.
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: A lot of people are saying, like one guy said
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: the he saw John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: at a at the Stone Pony. Is that a famous
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: thing where Springsteen started? Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, It's definitely
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: a famous bar now. But John Cafferty became famous after
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: he was the soundtrack for Eddie and the Cruise. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: And then we knew Larry the cable guy and and
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: and Carrot Tot pretty well. But I actually knew I
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: knew we knew Larry from him working here in the
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: building because he was starting off doing his phone calls
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: and stuff. So we had the origin story. Yeah, that
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: is cool. Actually I met him in the we were
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: I was coming to work when day and he was
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: leaving work one day or he was going down to
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: the cafe, and he told me the day he got
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: the dig, the gilt gig for Cars. Yeah, he told
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: me that day. He was, ay, man, he's got a
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: gig for a Disney movie called Cars. And I said really.
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: He goes, yeah, I'm gonna be a cartoon tow truck
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: and I said okay. And then we didn't hear anything
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: about it for five years. And I remember going up
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: to rest, I said, I think Larry lost his damn mind.
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: He told me you had this big gig. And of course,
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: like three weeks later, you see all the advertisement come
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: out for cars like, Oh, he didn't lose his mind,
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: He's just loaded now. Yeah, I don't know that he
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: needed that gig to be loaded.
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: My man works hard.
- 1:22:35Speaker 7: Speaking of Disney, they I've just been seeing the advertisement
- 1:22:39Speaker 7: for Toy Story five coming out. They did a big
- 1:22:42Speaker 7: collab with America's Got Talent, Yeah, for advertising for this.
- 1:22:45Speaker 7: I think Taylor Swift came out and did the song
- 1:22:47Speaker 7: live or something at the at the premiere or whatever. Oh,
- 1:22:50Speaker 7: I wasn't awhere that I know she recorded a song
- 1:22:53Speaker 7: for it. Yeah, but I think she's surprised who she's surprised.
- 1:22:56Speaker 6: I think she surprised the cast when she showed up
- 1:22:59Speaker 6: with the VHS cop of the movie that she'd had
- 1:23:01Speaker 6: since she was a child. Oh really Yeah, and then
- 1:23:03Speaker 6: I guess like they all signed it.
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: I thought she sat and played the song on piano
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: and sang it as well, but I can't remember if
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: that's exactly right.
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: That's kind of cool.
- 1:23:11Speaker 5: She did write a song for the soundtrack.
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, are you a Toy Story fan?
- 1:23:14Speaker 5: Yeah? The first three?
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: I think the first, the fourth was good. I think
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: all right. I think the first.
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: First one is I mean, all these movies are so good,
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: but I will tell you I think The Incredibles and
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: I think Toy Story one may be some of the
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: best animated movies of all time.
- 1:23:27Speaker 3: The kids have to grow up, dad, they have to
- 1:23:30Speaker 3: move on.
- 1:23:31Speaker 5: Yeah, no, we get to see what happens when they
- 1:23:33Speaker 5: introduced tech.
- 1:23:34Speaker 7: Yeah. But in Toy Story four, I like the Keanu
- 1:23:37Speaker 7: Reeves character. He was like an evil can eevil dude.
- 1:23:40Speaker 7: Oh yeah, hey, yeah, I never saw anyone.
- 1:23:43Speaker 5: Oh not that character.
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: That's the one you hate that don't worry about it.
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: So before we went to break out selling you guys
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: that there are problems in the bedroom. And this happened
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: by the way back in two thousand. Back in two
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: thousand and eight, there was a lot of reports that,
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: you know, couples weren't having sex, the birth rates were
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: way down, and everybody's like, well, what the hell's going on.
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: It was because of the financial crash. You know, people
- 1:24:03Speaker 2: were too poor, too poor to bone. But that wasn't
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: the case. They just nobody was in the mood man
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: because everybody was losing their all their cash, so nobody
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: had nobody was in the mood. But now there's a
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: new one going on right now, there's a now right now,
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: another drop in birth rates and another drop and pulled
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: couples that are saying that they're just simply not having
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: as much sex anymore, and and they they have they've
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: named a culprit. What do you think it is?
- 1:24:30Speaker 3: Jack? I think dev knows. What do you think it is?
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: Screen time? Take a tik it is it's iPhones? It's
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: they say it's the iPhone. I mean, of course, I
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: think it could be any you know, any device you have.
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: But it's basically couples laying in bed, you know, ripping
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: through their social media and then not engaging with each
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: other because they're too involved in their social media.
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: That's you know, they're just sitting there and they're you know,
- 1:24:51Speaker 3: just kind of enjoying themselves.
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, you know, they're very sleepy and
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: you've done nothing, You've not touched each other.
- 1:24:57Speaker 6: I wonder why they blamed the iPhone for that, though,
- 1:24:59Speaker 6: because Android users look at as much social media as
- 1:25:03Speaker 6: I would think iPhone users do.
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: I think it's any device really, I mean they just
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: they say the screen time, the screen time.
- 1:25:08Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: The crux of this as is the iPhone birth control,
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: and then it kind of goes off into explaining the
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: numbers of how you know, people just aren't having as
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: much sex anymore. And they basically have said, you know,
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: we were doing the screen time.
- 1:25:21Speaker 7: But that gets more clicks than saying is the iPhone
- 1:25:25Speaker 7: birth control? Than is your smartphone or android? Yeah, it's
- 1:25:30Speaker 7: as this. Middlebury College economists says that they tested a
- 1:25:34Speaker 7: hypothesis that smartphones, which emerged with the arrival of the
- 1:25:37Speaker 7: first iPhone in two thousand and seven, might have something
- 1:25:40Speaker 7: to do with it, and it said until twenty eleven,
- 1:25:42Speaker 7: iPhones are available for a singular US network, but with
- 1:25:45Speaker 7: AT and T of course they're everywhere now that everybody
- 1:25:48Speaker 7: can get them. And they found that access to an
- 1:25:50Speaker 7: iPhone correlated with reduction in berths by four to eight
- 1:25:53Speaker 7: percent with people at ages nineteen, and then three to
- 1:25:59Speaker 7: six percent of ages twenty to twenty four.
- 1:26:01Speaker 5: I feel a cease and desist letter coming from Apple to.
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: But I mean I can't say that it's not the case.
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: I mean, how many how many little videos do you
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: see or how many means do you see online of
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: you know, couples making this making fun of themselves for
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: doing this exact thing, you know, Like, I mean, I've
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: seen a hunt.
- 1:26:18Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys.
- 1:26:19Speaker 6: Always no, I always see the videos of couples who
- 1:26:22Speaker 6: are already dressed and heading out as they're taking the
- 1:26:24Speaker 6: phone call from the couple they're meeting and acting like
- 1:26:27Speaker 6: they're so bummed out they have to cancel, and then
- 1:26:29Speaker 6: they rip off their coats and it turns out they're
- 1:26:31Speaker 6: already wearing their pajamas.
- 1:26:33Speaker 5: That's funny, you're waiting to be canceled on.
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: This one was the ones I see are uh, do
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: you and your do you and your husband do this?
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: And it's just a still shot or just a short
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: video of two people laying in bed watching their phones,
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: and eventually one's laughing at the other because what they're
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: doing is is just sending each other TikTok videos that
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: they think are funny back and forth. So it's like
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: quiet quiet, one person laughs and then the other person
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: laughs at the person laugh and quiet, quiet quiet.
- 1:27:00Speaker 3: It does the opposite thing.
- 1:27:01Speaker 6: Now, do you send reels or anything to Naomi Bradshaw
- 1:27:05Speaker 6: dot com.
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: No, you guys don't do any of that.
- 1:27:07Speaker 3: Nope.
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: Oh man, my wife and I do that all the time. Nope,
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: you guys do it. She shads a lot on social media.
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: I don't, you know, spend a lot of time on
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: social Nope.
- 1:27:14Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so funny.

- 1:27:26Speaker 6: my mom say on Instagram.

- 1:27:43Speaker 3: it's fun. It's it's a good time jog. You should
- 1:27:45Speaker 3: get into it. It's really cool.
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: But there was this other one where a guy, a dad,
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: is in a pool and they show him from the
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: back and it looks like he has on the T shirt,
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: but when he turns around, it's this harnessed thing where
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: he can have his baby on the front.

- 1:28:32Speaker 6: if not the world, and that if you really want
- 1:28:34Speaker 6: to lose your mind on miniatures, you need to go
- 1:28:36Speaker 6: to Indonesia.
- 1:28:37Speaker 3: Really yeah, wow, really that's smaller there.
- 1:28:43Speaker 5: You're not kidding.

- 1:29:03Speaker 6: into a three story house. Oh wow, really, flower boxes
- 1:29:07Speaker 6: a working light.
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: How often do you work on it?
- 1:29:10Speaker 5: Not often enough.
- 1:29:12Speaker 6: I'm looking forward now that the wedding planning in all
- 1:29:14Speaker 6: of that part is done before we have to ramp
- 1:29:17Speaker 6: up for sudspots and pines.
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. All right four to seven nine
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: one year this year. I know it's crazy, right jim
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: me you get a go.
- 1:29:25Speaker 3: So when is it? All right?
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: Four seven nine one text us at seven seven zero
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: three one Sanford mayor Art would roof up.
- 1:29:32Speaker 3: Next.
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: We're going to talk about the property tax legislation and
- 1:29:35Speaker 2: how it could affect their community.
- 1:29:37Speaker 3: We'll do that right after this.
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: Hi, welcome back to the jump Over Show. We're all
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: Radio one four point one. Thanks so much for tuning in.
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: We appreciate that, as we do every single day. Hope
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: you had a nice day at work, having a nice
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: drive home. Just keep us right where you are. We
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: got you all the way until seven o'clock tonight.
- 1:29:57Speaker 3: I'm Jim. There's deb hello year as well.
- 1:30:00Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: You know, when this legislation popped up for the abolition
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: eventually of property taxes, we saw that they're going to
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: do reducing or increasing the home set exemption to one
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: fifty or fifty.
- 1:30:12Speaker 3: Then one to fifty and then indefinitely.
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: I guess it was going to be eventually to fifty
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: abolish you know, them all together. I think within a
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: five to seven year period was the initial idea. And
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: when this was dropped, from what I understand is, it
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: wasn't really It seemed a bit cobbled together, and a
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: lot of these city leaders and city managers weren't really
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: ready for this thing to happen. It just went to
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: the House, went to the Senate, and now it's on
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: the ballot. They did a poll the other day and
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: the poll that they did, I can't remember what news
- 1:30:40Speaker 2: station it was. Mayor eighty percent of the people said
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: that they were going to vote for this to get passed.
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: We're here with Mayor Art Woodruff from Sanford. Good in loud, guys, Yeah, great, good,
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. Yeah, and thanks for coming in.
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: And we appreciate that very much. We know it's not
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: so fun driving down ifour from Sandford to the talk.
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: Just turn that micup a little bit so I can
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: get it right now to your mouth.
- 1:31:00Speaker 3: There there we go. Very good.
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: So I reached out to you. You were the first
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: email I sent, and you you responded immediately, which led
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: me to believe that this was passionate to you in
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: the in the City of Sanford. What does this legislation
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: look like for you guys? This this will be.
- 1:31:18Speaker 14: Eighteen percent of our total general fund budget forty six
- 1:31:22Speaker 14: million dollars per year.
- 1:31:25Speaker 3: Forty six million a year is our was this last
- 1:31:28Speaker 3: year's budget? Okay?
- 1:31:29Speaker 14: Eighteen percent of that will go away? Okay, okay, because
- 1:31:33Speaker 14: all of our general fund, and the general fund is
- 1:31:35Speaker 14: what pays for things like police, fire, parks, general government.
- 1:31:40Speaker 14: You know, we have to pay hr people, we have
- 1:31:42Speaker 14: to pay finance people. All of that is in the
- 1:31:45Speaker 14: general fund. Things like fewer water waste collection, all of
- 1:31:49Speaker 14: those are in separate funds. So we're only talking about
- 1:31:52Speaker 14: the general fund here. With the property taxes, okay, it'll
- 1:31:55Speaker 14: be about thirty three percent of our property tax, but
- 1:31:59Speaker 14: eighteen percent of our overhaul budget because property tax is
- 1:32:01Speaker 14: not the only thing.
- 1:32:03Speaker 3: And the fund.
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: So when you as a mayor, and by the way,
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: I've reached out to many others, you were the one
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: that responded. Hopefully I'll get some more responses. But when
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: you look at this as a whole for the city,
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: obviously you were responding. So quickly. You were the fastest.
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: You were sponding so quickly led me to believe that,
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: you know, there are some major issues that you know,
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: you need people to understand when it comes to this legislation,
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: And of course I'm sure as a civic leader you
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: would understand as well. When you dangle what could be
- 1:32:26Speaker 2: three or four or five thousand extra dollars in people's
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: pockets for the year, it's hard to look past that
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: to go, well, what about my community, because you know
- 1:32:33Speaker 2: a lot of people are worried about them in their
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: own household and people of course now are stretched thinner
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: than ever, and the idea of having a few thousand
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: more dollars in their budget sounds really good. Is the
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: is the message getting out to people what this is
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: actually going to cost municipalities throughout the stay to Florida.
- 1:32:51Speaker 14: I think the message is starting to get out there,
- 1:32:53Speaker 14: you think. So, you know, they talked about it all
- 1:32:55Speaker 14: during the session, the regular session, and it didn't go anywhere,
- 1:32:59Speaker 14: and then in a week, you know, special session, let's
- 1:33:03Speaker 14: get it done. I think one or two days of
- 1:33:05Speaker 14: talking about it, in my opinion, they solved the wrong problem. Yeah,
- 1:33:10Speaker 14: you know, if you have homestead now you're limited to
- 1:33:13Speaker 14: a three percent increase. Right, Think my property taxes over
- 1:33:17Speaker 14: the last ten years have gone up about six hundred dollars.
- 1:33:21Speaker 14: You know I can handle.
- 1:33:22Speaker 3: That, right, right, right, It's the disparity.
- 1:33:26Speaker 14: You know, if somebody cave and bought a house just
- 1:33:28Speaker 14: like mine right next to me, they would be paying
- 1:33:31Speaker 14: over twice what I'm paying in taxes. Right because I'm
- 1:33:33Speaker 14: saving almost as much through the save our homes as
- 1:33:37Speaker 14: I'm paying in taxes. I'll be damn only about fifty
- 1:33:41Speaker 14: four percent of the actual taxable value of homesteaded properties.
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: They pay taxes on. Half of the value is already protected.
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: So when citizens in Sandford, I'll get to you one sec.
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: Deb I'm sorry, But in Sandford, as you're talking to
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: the constituents and people who live in that area, what
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: are they going to lose?
- 1:33:59Speaker 3: And we know that this.
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: You know, we were talking a little bit before the
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: show came on the air, and you said, immediately, I mean,
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: with no pause, parks and rec immediately go.
- 1:34:07Speaker 14: They won't go, but they will be the easiest thing.
- 1:34:11Speaker 14: We can't cut in police and fire. Right, those are
- 1:34:14Speaker 14: clearly the core things we need to do. We need
- 1:34:17Speaker 14: to eventually fix potholes. We need to take care of sidewalks,
- 1:34:20Speaker 14: things like that. One of the easiest things to do
- 1:34:23Speaker 14: is extend how long you go between mowing. We went
- 1:34:26Speaker 14: through this in two thousand and eight when this heard
- 1:34:29Speaker 14: the great depression. You know, from two thousand and eight
- 1:34:32Speaker 14: to twenty eighteen. It took that long to get back
- 1:34:36Speaker 14: to the same property tax revenue of the city. It
- 1:34:39Speaker 14: took ten years to get back to what we were
- 1:34:41Speaker 14: getting in two thousand and eight. So if you stretch
- 1:34:44Speaker 14: this out, and this is another thing that people don't
- 1:34:46Speaker 14: look at, if you stretch this out back to two
- 1:34:48Speaker 14: thousand and eight, our tax revenue has been increasing about
- 1:34:52Speaker 14: five and a half percent per year.
- 1:34:54Speaker 3: Now.
- 1:34:54Speaker 14: A whole lot of it happened in the last couple
- 1:34:56Speaker 14: of years. Interestingly, we got numbers today from the property appraiser.
- 1:35:01Speaker 14: Next year it looks like our property tax increase will
- 1:35:05Speaker 14: be about six percent. So we're almost back down to
- 1:35:08Speaker 14: that that usual number, right right right. What we You know,
- 1:35:12Speaker 14: people keep saying, well, why are you what are you
- 1:35:13Speaker 14: spending all this extra money on? Well, one of the
- 1:35:15Speaker 14: things is we're spending one of the things we didn't
- 1:35:17Speaker 14: do for that ten year period. We didn't. We would
- 1:35:21Speaker 14: if something. If playground equipment broke, we took it out.
- 1:35:25Speaker 14: Now we can replace it. So those are the kinds
- 1:35:28Speaker 14: of things we'll start seeing again. We won't be taking
- 1:35:31Speaker 14: care of parks. If playing ground equipment goes bad, we
- 1:35:34Speaker 14: pull it out. Somebody called me last week or emailed
- 1:35:37Speaker 14: me last week about our pickleball nets being held together
- 1:35:40Speaker 14: with with zip ties, and you know they had called
- 1:35:44Speaker 14: and complained and we had only replaced two of them.
- 1:35:46Speaker 14: It's like, well, only two of them really needed to
- 1:35:48Speaker 14: be replaced. Now none of them will get replaced.
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, exactly. Dep question. Well, we're talking to Mark
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: mayor Art Woodroff from Sandford. So we get a lot
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: of this from the listeners who'll text us. You see
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: it on Facebook forums where folks are talking about this,
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: and it seems to.
- 1:36:07Speaker 5: Be black or white. You're either for it or you
- 1:36:09Speaker 5: like taxes.
- 1:36:11Speaker 6: What do you say to the residents not just in
- 1:36:13Speaker 6: Sanford but throughout central Florida who have this belief that
- 1:36:17Speaker 6: you have this big pot of lottery money, tourist tax money,
- 1:36:21Speaker 6: all of these money is available to you when in reality,
- 1:36:25Speaker 6: what is the reality for Sandford.
- 1:36:27Speaker 14: Well, and that's one of the things. You know, in
- 1:36:29Speaker 14: the original proposal from the governor, there was going to
- 1:36:32Speaker 14: be this pot of state money.
- 1:36:33Speaker 5: They took that to bagage out well, and that.
- 1:36:35Speaker 14: Didn't get in there, and the state's facing a deficeit
- 1:36:38Speaker 14: by twenty twenty eight, there wouldn't be any money anyway.
- 1:36:42Speaker 14: So one of the good things about property taxes is
- 1:36:44Speaker 14: it's stable. Okay, don't bounce up and down as quickly
- 1:36:47Speaker 14: with the economy. But I think one of the things
- 1:36:53Speaker 14: that really strikes me is in this whole SoundBite of
- 1:36:56Speaker 14: I shouldn't have to keep paying for my house after
- 1:36:59Speaker 14: it's paid off. Well, you still want to pay for
- 1:37:01Speaker 14: a fire truck to show up if your housecutches fire.
- 1:37:03Speaker 14: You still want police protection, you still want parks taking
- 1:37:06Speaker 14: care of you still want services. That's how we agreed
- 1:37:10Speaker 14: to pay for these services years ago, right, Yeah. Yeah,
- 1:37:12Speaker 14: And to say since I'm a homeowner, I shouldn't have
- 1:37:15Speaker 14: to pay for them, I sort of have a problem
- 1:37:18Speaker 14: with that.
- 1:37:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:37:18Speaker 6: I don't have kids, but I still pay my taxes
- 1:37:21Speaker 6: to make sure that the children in my community can
- 1:37:23Speaker 6: go to a good school.
- 1:37:24Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:37:25Speaker 14: Right, And you're you're better off if you're around educated people.
- 1:37:28Speaker 2: Absolutely, And then you know, my wife and I were
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: talking this morning and she was basically saying, what this
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: texture said is you can do without the eighteen percent.
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: This will force you to go in and cut programs
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: that aren't needed because there's a lot of fat and
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: government budgets. So this will prove that, you know that
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: small governments are small municipalities are spending too much money
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: on silly stuff. And like fireworks has been brought up
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: a number of times. You know, just don't have fireworks displays,
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: or don't have Christmas lights in Mount Dora or the
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: cities to beautify the city and make it nice for
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: the people who live there. Take those things away and
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: give us that money.
- 1:38:00Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:38:00Speaker 14: And every time somebody talks to me and says cut
- 1:38:03Speaker 14: the waste, I ask for examples, right, And usually it's
- 1:38:07Speaker 14: not a matter of it's waste and all, you know,
- 1:38:10Speaker 14: there's waste in everything. I'm not going to sit here
- 1:38:13Speaker 14: and say we can't clean up a little bit of waste.
- 1:38:16Speaker 14: But there's not eighteen percent in our budget. But it's
- 1:38:19Speaker 14: really what do you see that you want the government
- 1:38:24Speaker 14: to do. Some people like public art, Others think it's
- 1:38:27Speaker 14: a waste of money. Some people like fireworks. Some people
- 1:38:30Speaker 14: think it's a waste of money. Some people don't like
- 1:38:32Speaker 14: to play golf, some people don't like to go on
- 1:38:34Speaker 14: the river walk. We have a lot of things that
- 1:38:36Speaker 14: everybody doesn't like, but different groups do. And that's what
- 1:38:41Speaker 14: I think. I've asked quality of life.
- 1:38:44Speaker 6: I mean for me personally, and I'm not going to
- 1:38:47Speaker 6: expect you to say anything onto this because my problem
- 1:38:50Speaker 6: has been Blazing Golia, the chief financial officer for the
- 1:38:54Speaker 6: State of Florida, running around through different municipalities in our
- 1:38:57Speaker 6: sixty seven counties, pointing out waste and fraud, which I'm
- 1:39:01Speaker 6: with you, Art, I have no problem doing that right
- 1:39:04Speaker 6: get rid of where they're misusing our tax dollars. But
- 1:39:07Speaker 6: I think if Tallahassee wants to show real leadership, they
- 1:39:10Speaker 6: should start with their own books, because there are some
- 1:39:13Speaker 6: serious questions about spending going on in Tallahassee, and we're
- 1:39:16Speaker 6: not getting any answers, but we're sure as hell getting
- 1:39:18Speaker 6: a whole lot of sound bites about how this is
- 1:39:20Speaker 6: a good deal, and we shouldn't listen to local governments
- 1:39:24Speaker 6: that are caterwauling about what it is they're going to miss.
- 1:39:27Speaker 14: Well, and two things there. The first time he went around,
- 1:39:29Speaker 14: he was using a formula based on population growth and inflation.
- 1:39:33Speaker 14: If you look at the state budget, it was increasing
- 1:39:35Speaker 14: about the same amount as these city and county governments.
- 1:39:39Speaker 14: He was complaining about, Yeah, yeah, the state increase was
- 1:39:41Speaker 14: the same, And I forgot what the second thing is,
- 1:39:45Speaker 14: and I hope it'll come back to me.
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: I'll give you an idea about that. I'm going to
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: read some of these texting. These are people out in
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: our community right now listening to the show and texting.
- 1:39:53Speaker 2: And abolished property taxes. It wasn't supposed to be permanent anyway.
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: You can make up for this tax by taxing churches
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: political donations and increase the taxes on marijuana.
- 1:40:03Speaker 14: Okay, well we can't. Cities can't increase the tax on marijuana,
- 1:40:06Speaker 14: and we can't on our own decide to tax churches. Now,
- 1:40:10Speaker 14: one thing I will expect to see a lot of
- 1:40:12Speaker 14: cities and counties look at is a fire assessment fee.
- 1:40:15Speaker 14: The City of Sanford has looked at it twice and
- 1:40:17Speaker 14: rejected it twice. What you do with a fire assessment
- 1:40:20Speaker 14: fee is you actually assess the actual cost proportional cost
- 1:40:25Speaker 14: of fire protection to each house, each building, and when
- 1:40:29Speaker 14: you do that, then churches do pay. But both times
- 1:40:33Speaker 14: we've looked at it, homeowners ended up paying more a
- 1:40:37Speaker 14: higher proportional share than they do with property taxes.
- 1:40:40Speaker 6: And Mayor Woodruff, what about the state threatening cities and
- 1:40:43Speaker 6: counties with your millage rates going forward, saying don't you
- 1:40:48Speaker 6: try and increase those millage rates to make up for
- 1:40:50Speaker 6: this money, because we'll come down on you for that.
- 1:40:53Speaker 6: What's your answer to Tallahassee when it comes to well,
- 1:40:55Speaker 6: where the hell do you want us to get it from?
- 1:40:57Speaker 14: Well? I really wish Tallahassee understood home rule and that
- 1:41:01Speaker 14: this was the second thing. Local government is the closest
- 1:41:03Speaker 14: one to the people. You know, if a city, it's
- 1:41:05Speaker 14: or county is out of control of spending, the residents
- 1:41:09Speaker 14: are going to take care of that. It's not that
- 1:41:11Speaker 14: hard to get somebody out of a local office. It's
- 1:41:14Speaker 14: much harder to do that with state office.
- 1:41:18Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, And somebody's saying what about
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: all again? This comes in over and over and over
- 1:41:23Speaker 2: because I think this is being pushed statewide. For sure,
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: is what about all the wasteful and over spending Most
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: cities and people are even saying, you know, commissions commissioners
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: salaries and things of that nature. I mean, they're saying
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: that there are cuts out there that could be made
- 1:41:35Speaker 2: to make up for this, And so how do you
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: answer those people because you have an eighteen percent shortfall
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: in your budget to provide to things that people love
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: in the city of Sandford. I would say that maybe,
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: you know, maybe if you went to somebody and go, well,
- 1:41:48Speaker 2: maybe we'll close the boat ramp, right, yeah, because we
- 1:41:51Speaker 2: can't maintain the boat ramp or we can't ensure the
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: boat ramp anymore.
- 1:41:53Speaker 3: So let's shut down the boat ramp.
- 1:41:55Speaker 14: And and every budget year we have a list of
- 1:41:57Speaker 14: things that departments have asked for that we aren't funding.
- 1:42:00Speaker 14: There's always things that we would like to spend money
- 1:42:03Speaker 14: on that we don't have the money to spend it on.
- 1:42:05Speaker 14: And again I said, you know, point out the waste.
- 1:42:09Speaker 14: I can't imagine there's an elected official anyway anywhere, at
- 1:42:12Speaker 14: least in local government that if real waste is pointed out,
- 1:42:15Speaker 14: won't do something about.
- 1:42:18Speaker 7: Mayor would you do you have any idea on a
- 1:42:22Speaker 7: plan that you could support if it wasn't this one,
- 1:42:25Speaker 7: if this one is too severe, cutting you know, the
- 1:42:28Speaker 7: budget by eighteen percent. Is there a way where you
- 1:42:32Speaker 7: middle ground, where you can see homeowners getting the relief
- 1:42:35Speaker 7: they're seeking, where it doesn't have such a detrimental effect
- 1:42:39Speaker 7: to the budget of the city that you're running.
- 1:42:43Speaker 14: I think part of that's already in place is the
- 1:42:45Speaker 14: three percent cap on value of homesteads. I think where
- 1:42:51Speaker 14: we really see issues is new homeowners when they come
- 1:42:55Speaker 14: in and buy a house that they haven't had that
- 1:42:58Speaker 14: cap and it's several hundred thousand dollars more than their
- 1:43:02Speaker 14: neighbor who has had that that cap, and now there's
- 1:43:04Speaker 14: just paying a whole lot more for the same services.
- 1:43:06Speaker 14: I think that that's one of the problem that you
- 1:43:09Speaker 14: looked at. And I've sort of bounced this around in
- 1:43:11Speaker 14: my head a little bit, not thought about it a
- 1:43:14Speaker 14: whole lot because I knew I didn't get to make
- 1:43:17Speaker 14: make that I don't get to put this on the ballot.
- 1:43:19Speaker 14: But you could look at it with the homestead as
- 1:43:22Speaker 14: an initial percentage of house value or something like that,
- 1:43:26Speaker 14: right average, or set it based on the average homeowner value. Yeah,
- 1:43:30Speaker 14: and sort of even it out across everybody.
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly what my wife and I were talking
- 1:43:36Speaker 2: about this morning, same kind of thing, like a pro
- 1:43:38Speaker 2: rated kind of thing, so it's fair for everybody. So
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: other city leaders I've heard and stuff I've read online
- 1:43:45Speaker 2: are saying, well, you know, yeah, this is going to
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: go away. It's going to cause holes in our budget.
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: How are we going to make that up? I mean,
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: is there a situation in Sandford or in that area
- 1:43:53Speaker 2: out there where you're talking about maybe impact fees or higher,
- 1:43:56Speaker 2: maybe fees for building permits or higher. Maybe there's other
- 1:44:01Speaker 2: fees that'll come into play to make up the budget.
- 1:44:03Speaker 2: I mean, people are saying that's the case. And you
- 1:44:06Speaker 2: and I asked you before we came on the air,
- 1:44:07Speaker 2: did you know one other civic leader? You said, you
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: know a number of other mayors and city managers, and
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: you don't know one of them that's in support of this.
- 1:44:15Speaker 14: For I think there are a lot of us in
- 1:44:17Speaker 14: support of keeping taxes low. Sure, yeah, I don't know
- 1:44:20Speaker 14: of anyone in support of a sudden two hundred and
- 1:44:23Speaker 14: fifty thousand dollars exemption. And Samford, the average average home
- 1:44:28Speaker 14: value is less than two hundred and fifty thousand, So
- 1:44:31Speaker 14: more than half of our homeowners will be paying no
- 1:44:33Speaker 14: taxes to support our police and fires.
- 1:44:35Speaker 3: How about business and renters.
- 1:44:37Speaker 14: Businesses and renters are already paying more than you know
- 1:44:41Speaker 14: what some who would call their fair share, because that's
- 1:44:43Speaker 14: where the shift is. When we had a sort of
- 1:44:48Speaker 14: goal setting session early in the year and I present
- 1:44:51Speaker 14: it to our commission because we have the well, actually
- 1:44:54Speaker 14: now we have the second highest tax right because Ovido
- 1:44:57Speaker 14: has a debt a piece of a debt millage. But
- 1:45:01Speaker 14: we've always had the highest tax rate and we've always
- 1:45:06Speaker 14: justified that because we had the lowest home values, and
- 1:45:10Speaker 14: so we could do all kinds of measurements, taxes actually
- 1:45:14Speaker 14: collected per person, you know, number of employees per resident,
- 1:45:18Speaker 14: average actual taxes per home. We were always at the bottom,
- 1:45:22Speaker 14: even though we had the highest tax rate. Presented to
- 1:45:25Speaker 14: our commission was things have changed in Sanford. Last year
- 1:45:30Speaker 14: we had eighty six homes sell for over five hundred
- 1:45:32Speaker 14: thousand dollars. If you know Samford, that's that's that's not typical. Yeah,
- 1:45:40Speaker 14: we're seeing some some different downtown and some other areas
- 1:45:44Speaker 14: where we're seeing some real high value homes. Those homes
- 1:45:48Speaker 14: you know that that rate start sitting them, you know,
- 1:45:51Speaker 14: And so I had for the past three years, I've
- 1:45:55Speaker 14: suggested let's start chipping away at the village, mainly to
- 1:45:57Speaker 14: help our businesses, which are valued at at what they produce, right, Yeah,
- 1:46:05Speaker 14: and so it's yeah, lower value homes in Sanford, but
- 1:46:10Speaker 14: businesses are valued the same. So I've been pushing to
- 1:46:13Speaker 14: chip it away. I think this year we're set to
- 1:46:15Speaker 14: lower our melage a little bit.
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: Yeah, And a lot of those bedroom communities have kind
- 1:46:19Speaker 2: of become that, you know, Winter Garden Claremont have seen
- 1:46:21Speaker 2: this incredible resurgence of popularity because they've they've renovated their downtowns,
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: they've created new revenue there, and now people want to
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: move there. These are cities that not even you know,
- 1:46:31Speaker 2: ten fifteen years ago that nobody was. It was on
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: no one's map. You know, if you lived out there,
- 1:46:35Speaker 2: you were born and lived out there, but nobody was
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: moving Winter Garden or moving to Claremont. Now they're moving
- 1:46:39Speaker 2: there and droves.
- 1:46:40Speaker 6: I just was wondering if you, along with other you know,
- 1:46:43Speaker 6: city leaders, have considered maybe having town halls or forums
- 1:46:48Speaker 6: or you know, displays where folks can come in and
- 1:46:51Speaker 6: if nothing else learn more about how their city government works.
- 1:46:54Speaker 6: Because it's amazing how many people think their local library
- 1:46:57Speaker 6: falls under the Department of Education and out leisure Services.
- 1:47:01Speaker 14: We're talking about different things we can do, and actually
- 1:47:04Speaker 14: one of our commissioners is suggested a town hall.
- 1:47:07Speaker 6: Because the vitriol on the texting service. I mean, you
- 1:47:09Speaker 6: have residents just like Nope, Nope, not gonna.
- 1:47:12Speaker 3: Do it, not gonna do it.
- 1:47:12Speaker 5: We deserve this tax, we want this tax.
- 1:47:15Speaker 6: We so I don't know how you get between really
- 1:47:18Speaker 6: showing them the real world consequences of it or just.
- 1:47:23Speaker 14: And and we're going to start putting out you know here,
- 1:47:26Speaker 14: which is what I started on my Facebook page, and
- 1:47:28Speaker 14: you know, a thousand comments on that. I can't I'm
- 1:47:31Speaker 14: still just astounded. All right, yeah, but you know, here
- 1:47:34Speaker 14: is the budget. Here is where the money is actually going.
- 1:47:37Speaker 14: And just tried to tell that story. We have a
- 1:47:39Speaker 14: citizens Academy, which we've been doing I think for sixteen years.
- 1:47:43Speaker 14: We rigged and citizens about thirty at a time and
- 1:47:47Speaker 14: they go through every department and learn exactly what the
- 1:47:49Speaker 14: city does. Those are ambassadors for us in this situation.
- 1:47:53Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:47:54Speaker 2: Yeah, And you were telling me before the show that
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: although you guys you wind up, you know, you may
- 1:47:58Speaker 2: be okay because it's only eighteen percent cities not okay,
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: I'll manageable. Yeah yeah, but but cities like Winter Springs
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: are going to get destroyed by this. And for people
- 1:48:09Speaker 2: who do not know that Winter Springs the back end
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: of that city going into a veto. It's Four Winds
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: Park out there, which is a gigantic entertainment slash baseball, football,
- 1:48:20Speaker 2: uh soccer fields. And you said that there's a good
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: possibility that will come to an end because they will
- 1:48:26Speaker 2: not be able to fund the insurance that covers that
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: in case somebody gets hurt, the lights that come on,
- 1:48:30Speaker 2: cutting the grass, funding the umpires that call the little
- 1:48:33Speaker 2: league ball games there, and this is all going to
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: come into play.
- 1:48:36Speaker 3: All right.
- 1:48:37Speaker 14: The Winter Springs ay are posted. You know, if we
- 1:48:40Speaker 14: cut and out and remember all the specific parks we're
- 1:48:42Speaker 14: in there, we've cut this, this, this, and this, we
- 1:48:45Speaker 14: cut all that out, we're still a million short.
- 1:48:47Speaker 2: Yeah wow, incredible. Well, please let us know if you
- 1:48:51Speaker 2: ever do get that together where you have council people
- 1:48:53Speaker 2: that are willing to have a an open house or
- 1:48:56Speaker 2: basically a forum where people can come and ask questions,
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: because it deb's right, I mean the texting service. And
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: again we're not trying to convince anybody of anything. I
- 1:49:04Speaker 2: just want people to understand that once this happens, yes,
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: you are going to have some more money in your pocket,
- 1:49:08Speaker 2: but when you downtown and things aren't the same anymore, it,
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: you know, you will just have to understand that's what
- 1:49:13Speaker 2: you ask for kind of thing. And I'm like on
- 1:49:16Speaker 2: the fence on this as well. I would love to
- 1:49:17Speaker 2: not pay my property taxes because I pay a lot
- 1:49:19Speaker 2: of property taxes. But I also love the pickleball courts
- 1:49:22Speaker 2: in downtown Mount Dora. I also love the fireworks shows.
- 1:49:25Speaker 2: I also love all of the community involvement, whether it
- 1:49:27Speaker 2: be the George Fest and Eustace or Bike Weekend Tavarri's
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: because all that stuff that you know, Tabaris can barely met,
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: or Lee'sburg can barely manage that as it is, you know,
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: and they actually talked last year about how they were
- 1:49:39Speaker 2: going to fund that thing because they weren't asking the
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: businesses a lot and they were actually losing money on it.
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: So all of those things that people all those events
- 1:49:46Speaker 2: that get planned that people need to understand and if
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: this goes through and they're not able to kind of
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: create or something that fills that hole up, that those
- 1:49:52Speaker 2: events will go away. Right, that's just how it's going
- 1:49:54Speaker 2: to be, right, and that's that's how I've sort of
- 1:49:56Speaker 2: pitched ags. You know, if the voters decide this, we're
- 1:49:59Speaker 2: one the voters to help us decide what to cut,

- 1:52:55Speaker 2: taded greatly.
- 1:52:56Speaker 3: That's right.
- 1:52:56Speaker 2: Here are three fun facts about herbs and spices and
- 1:52:59Speaker 2: one lie that is loaded with flavor. Ye, all right,
- 1:53:02Speaker 2: we're talking about herbs and spices. Here stand which one
- 1:53:04Speaker 2: of these is not true? Number one Morocco by far
- 1:53:07Speaker 2: is the largest consumer and producer of spices in the world.
- 1:53:12Speaker 3: Number two.
- 1:53:13Speaker 2: The natural aroma of vanilla has been shown scientifically to
- 1:53:16Speaker 2: reduce stress and anxiety. Number three, Black, white, and green
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: peppercorns all come from the same plant. The color comes
- 1:53:24Speaker 2: from harvesting time. Or Lastly, all spice isn't a blend
- 1:53:28Speaker 2: of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. It's actually the berry from
- 1:53:31Speaker 2: the Pomenta deoca tree. Which of those is a lie? No,
- 1:53:37Speaker 2: that's absolutely true all spice. And I thought this for
- 1:53:40Speaker 2: years was a specific blend of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves.
- 1:53:45Speaker 2: That's why they call it all spice, right exactly, But
- 1:53:47Speaker 2: that's not it at all. It's actually one berry from
- 1:53:49Speaker 2: one tree. That's exactly what it is.
- 1:53:51Speaker 6: Well, then it's one spice. It's not all spice, all right?
- 1:53:56Speaker 3: One, three, four or five? Let's go four before it is,
- 1:54:00Speaker 3: let's go to James. James, how you doing, I'm doing good?
- 1:54:04Speaker 3: All right? All right?
- 1:54:05Speaker 2: But we're talking about herbs and spices here. Which one
- 1:54:07Speaker 2: of these is not true? Number one Morocco by far
- 1:54:09Speaker 2: is the largest consumer and producer of spices in the world.
- 1:54:12Speaker 2: Number two, the natural aroma of vanilla has been shown
- 1:54:15Speaker 2: scientifically to reduce stress and anxiety. Or lastly, black, white,
- 1:54:19Speaker 2: and green peppercorns all come from the same plant. The
- 1:54:22Speaker 2: color comes from harvesting times.
- 1:54:24Speaker 3: Number one. That's the one. But you're going up. Who
- 1:54:28Speaker 3: do you think it is? Who do you think it is?
- 1:54:32Speaker 3: Who do you what?
- 1:54:33Speaker 2: What country do you believe is the largest consumer and
- 1:54:36Speaker 2: exporter of spices in the world.
- 1:54:38Speaker 5: I have no clue.
- 1:54:39Speaker 3: Yes, it's India, but India is the one. You're on.
- 1:54:43Speaker 2: Hold, you are a winter buddy. Make sure Jans gets
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: something nice for himself.
- 1:54:48Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know if he's going to keep it himself.
- 1:54:50Speaker 7: I told you what the prizes are. James will get
- 1:54:53Speaker 7: to pick. Okay, that's fine.
- 1:54:55Speaker 2: The natural aroma of vanilla has been shown scientifically to
- 1:54:58Speaker 2: reduce stress and anxiety.
- 1:55:00Speaker 3: I like it.
- 1:55:01Speaker 2: India, by the way, is the largest consumer and producer
- 1:55:04Speaker 2: of spices in the world. And even in the trivia
- 1:55:06Speaker 2: stuff it says by far.
- 1:55:07Speaker 5: Oh.
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a not even close scenario. And I
- 1:55:11Speaker 2: watch these Indian street cooks on social sometimes and the
- 1:55:14Speaker 2: amount of stuff that they put in just one dish.
- 1:55:17Speaker 2: It is handfuls, guys, it's handful. There must be like
- 1:55:21Speaker 2: a cup of spices in this one dish.
- 1:55:24Speaker 5: So good for you.
- 1:55:25Speaker 2: The black, white, and green peppercorns do all come from
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: the same plant. The color does come from the harvesting times.
- 1:55:30Speaker 5: That's interesting.
- 1:55:31Speaker 2: A couple of are things you may not know about
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: spices and herbs before we get to the top of
- 1:55:34Speaker 2: the hour. No Ross today because he's at the World
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: Cup match. A nutmeg and mace actually grow on the
- 1:55:41Speaker 2: same tree. The nutmeg is the inner part of the fruit.
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: The mace is this weird kind of thing that's on
- 1:55:48Speaker 2: the outside, and they use them each for different flavors.
- 1:55:51Speaker 5: So if you get some real nutmegs, just save everything.
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: How many crocus flowers does it take to produce just
- 1:55:56Speaker 2: one pound of saffron. I'll say fifteen hundred seventy five
- 1:56:04Speaker 2: thousand crocus flowers to make one pound of saffron. That's
- 1:56:09Speaker 2: why it's the most expensive spice in the world. And
- 1:56:12Speaker 2: they're all hand harvested, by the way, I imagine they
- 1:56:15Speaker 2: have to be so delicate. Across all culinary cultures. What
- 1:56:20Speaker 2: are the most used flavor ingredients. There's just two salt. Salt,
- 1:56:26Speaker 2: Someone I'll give you that as a freebee salt somethe
- 1:56:28Speaker 2: pepper and onion.
- 1:56:32Speaker 5: Onion.
- 1:56:32Speaker 2: Yeah, pepper and onion are the two most used flavoring
- 1:56:35Speaker 2: agents in all cooking globally. In medieval times, what was
- 1:56:40Speaker 2: thought to be an aphrodisiac. It's an herbs. That's a
- 1:56:46Speaker 2: good one.
- 1:56:47Speaker 5: Basil dil is the answer, and that's why they put
- 1:56:50Speaker 5: it with the pickle.
- 1:56:51Speaker 3: Yeah, they would make. Yeah, they would make teas and
- 1:56:53Speaker 3: stuff like that. You would eat. It was thought to
- 1:56:55Speaker 3: be an afridisiac. I like that.
- 1:56:56Speaker 2: Left, and then lastly, can you tell me the one
- 1:56:58Speaker 2: when there's more than one? But this plant also is
- 1:57:01Speaker 2: produces an herb and a spice because the herb is
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: the leafy part. The spice usually comes from the stem,
- 1:57:09Speaker 2: the bark, or the seed. And you know what the
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: funny thing is, I've cooked for years and I did
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: not know this until about three years ago.
- 1:57:15Speaker 5: There's no way Jack and I are going to know.
- 1:57:17Speaker 9: No.
- 1:57:17Speaker 2: Uh, a coriander really the leaves of the coriander plant
- 1:57:22Speaker 2: are cilantro. The seeds of the coriander plant or a coriander.
- 1:57:27Speaker 5: I had no idea. My grandmother used to have.
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, if you go to some Mexican restaurants,
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: they will say coriander instead of cilantro.
- 1:57:34Speaker 3: They'll they will say, yeah, they'll say that.
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: And if you watch some cooking shows that are international
- 1:57:38Speaker 2: cooking shows, they say they say coriander and not cilantro.
- 1:57:43Speaker 2: And the coriander seed actually has a more citrusy flavor
- 1:57:46Speaker 2: than the soapy kind of flavor that cilantro has that
- 1:57:49Speaker 2: a lot of people don't like.
- 1:57:50Speaker 7: Yeah, there you go. That's a genetic thing, right, this
- 1:57:53Speaker 7: cilantro soapy.
- 1:57:55Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 1:57:55Speaker 3: I can't eat enough of it.
- 1:57:56Speaker 2: Like when I meet street tacos, I swear a lot
- 1:57:58Speaker 2: it looks like lettuce on my sho tree tacos.
- 1:58:00Speaker 3: I eat so much of it.
- 1:58:01Speaker 2: I love it. But my Code Black's wife thinks it
- 1:58:04Speaker 2: tastes like soap. Yeah, yeah, yeah, But and that's common.
- 1:58:07Speaker 2: I don't know if it's genetic or I think it is,
- 1:58:10Speaker 2: though I think you're right. I think it is all right.
- 1:58:11Speaker 2: Four seven nine one six one four one text us
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: at seven seven zero three one Back in a second
- 1:58:15Speaker 2: with more than gym Corbor shows, they.
- 1:58:16Speaker 19: Put on a little origin story. Back in the day.
- 1:58:19Speaker 19: Growing up, mom and Dad used to take us to
- 1:58:22Speaker 19: the Beach in Daytona. We always stayed at what I
- 1:58:24Speaker 19: think was the Hilton anyway, big hotel in Daytona, and
- 1:58:28Speaker 19: their lounge was known for you know, musical acts and stuff,
- 1:58:32Speaker 19: and on two separate occasions going in there in the
- 1:58:35Speaker 19: middle of the day sound checks by both Jackson Brown
- 1:58:38Speaker 19: and Seals and Crofts.
- 1:58:39Speaker 3: So we actually got to sit in Damn it was awesome.
- 1:58:42Speaker 3: Dad had a beer Aloha.
- 1:58:47Speaker 2: That would be crazy. I mean, you wouldn't even know
- 1:58:50Speaker 2: it though. That's the thing about it is you don't
- 1:58:52Speaker 2: know what you're experiencing. You have to reflect back on
- 1:58:54Speaker 2: that to have that experience again.
- 1:58:56Speaker 3: Well to appreciate it for what it was.
- 1:58:59Speaker 7: But if you're in the moment, it's you can still
- 1:59:02Speaker 7: appreciate it without recognizing what a monumental right, how big
- 1:59:08Speaker 7: it really is, right, because it's not big until later
- 1:59:11Speaker 7: they go on to have the careers they do.
- 1:59:13Speaker 3: Then you're like, oh wow, I was part of that.
- 1:59:15Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, very And that's really if you're part of
- 1:59:17Speaker 7: an origin story on Nitty and one er band that
- 1:59:20Speaker 7: comes famous, no one knows it at the time.
- 1:59:23Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.
- 1:59:25Speaker 2: For seven nine six four one text us seven seven
- 1:59:27Speaker 2: zero three one I'm Jim.
- 1:59:28Speaker 3: There's deb check us here.
- 1:59:30Speaker 2: Sure, man, we got some cravy, I say, crazy, I
- 1:59:34Speaker 2: shouldn't say that. We you know, we had a very
- 1:59:36Speaker 2: interesting mix of responses to the mayor.
- 1:59:41Speaker 3: Would you guys say.
- 1:59:42Speaker 2: That the mayor or the topic, well, the topic and
- 1:59:45Speaker 2: the you know again, I think that what happens is
- 1:59:48Speaker 2: is people and I and I would look, I throw
- 1:59:50Speaker 2: myself in this as well. You know, people don't trust politicians, yes,
- 1:59:56Speaker 2: at almost any level, whether it be the mayor of
- 1:59:58Speaker 2: a small town in Florida or a senator from New York.
- 2:00:01Speaker 2: People have a hard time trusting politicians, and sometimes for
- 2:00:05Speaker 2: a very good reason. I mean, there's been a lot
- 2:00:06Speaker 2: of stuff that's happened that has eroded the trust of
- 2:00:09Speaker 2: politicians in America. And I think that regardless of who
- 2:00:12Speaker 2: it is or what they say, there are some people
- 2:00:15Speaker 2: who are just simply not going to believe anything they
- 2:00:18Speaker 2: say because they believe there's this big government grift that
- 2:00:21Speaker 2: they're you know, there's somehow, some way they're redirecting money
- 2:00:25Speaker 2: to themselves or friends or things like that, or they're
- 2:00:28Speaker 2: supporting certain programs that they don't think. Like I just
- 2:00:30Speaker 2: had a guy say that you know, I don't. I
- 2:00:32Speaker 2: don't want pickleball courts. I don't need pickleball courts. I'm like, well,
- 2:00:35Speaker 2: I mean, if we omit the pickaball courts, are you
- 2:00:36Speaker 2: gonna let the pickaball people emit something you enjoy?
- 2:00:39Speaker 3: Yeah? Are you gonna let them shut down the boat ramp?
- 2:00:41Speaker 3: Or maybe what about the trials?
- 2:00:42Speaker 6: I ride the trails every day about the ball fields
- 2:00:45Speaker 6: that they play Little league games.
- 2:00:46Speaker 3: On, and that's huge. I didn't know Winter Springs was
- 2:00:49Speaker 3: in such dire straits when it comes to this.
- 2:00:51Speaker 2: Well, also, you guys, I mean, didn't you guys just
- 2:00:53Speaker 2: have to raise your sewage and trash tax to pay
- 2:00:56Speaker 2: for that water system. Yes, so you're already dealing with me.
- 2:01:00Speaker 2: This happens all the time in communities that need stuff.
- 2:01:03Speaker 3: I mean.
- 2:01:03Speaker 2: And by the way, did that go through a vote? No,
- 2:01:06Speaker 2: it didn't go through a vote. They just basically said, hey, look,
- 2:01:09Speaker 2: you're sewering. Your water is going up because we have
- 2:01:11Speaker 2: to pay for this new system to keep the water
- 2:01:14Speaker 2: flowing through here in the sewage flowing through here in
- 2:01:15Speaker 2: Winter Springs. Hey, you didn't have a choice in that. Nope,
- 2:01:18Speaker 2: but you live here and you have to pay that tax.
- 2:01:19Speaker 3: What am I going to say, No, let's keep the
- 2:01:21Speaker 3: old system well.
- 2:01:23Speaker 2: And then somebody also saying, by the way, I'm not
- 2:01:25Speaker 2: ragging on anybody for having these opinions. I'm not because
- 2:01:29Speaker 2: these are their true opinions. I might not agree with
- 2:01:31Speaker 2: your opinion. But one guy's like, I can police my
- 2:01:32Speaker 2: own property, I can take care of my own property
- 2:01:34Speaker 2: for fire, I have my own fireworks. I don't need
- 2:01:37Speaker 2: any of this stuff to happen for me. And I'm like,
- 2:01:40Speaker 2: and I'm like, that sounds great when you say it,
- 2:01:43Speaker 2: but you would be the first person to sue the
- 2:01:45Speaker 2: cops if they didn't come, if your house was being
- 2:01:46Speaker 2: broken into, or you'd be the first person to lawyer
- 2:01:49Speaker 2: up when your house burned down and there was no
- 2:01:51Speaker 2: fire department to take care of you, No question. The
- 2:01:54Speaker 2: people that have these big, hard, hot takes would not
- 2:01:57Speaker 2: feel like that. And I'm really interested. I think it's
- 2:01:59Speaker 2: going to pass. By the way, I think this is
- 2:02:01Speaker 2: going to become law, and I think it's gonna happen,
- 2:02:03Speaker 2: and I think it's gonna be really interesting to hear
- 2:02:05Speaker 2: the opinions after the fact, when people start expecting these
- 2:02:09Speaker 2: community services that are provided, not understanding how this happens.
- 2:02:14Speaker 2: And look, I'm I I would greatly benefit from this,
- 2:02:17Speaker 2: for the record, greatly benefit from this. And I'm still
- 2:02:21Speaker 2: on the fence of how how it's supposed to be
- 2:02:24Speaker 2: applied and how these municipalities are still going to provide
- 2:02:28Speaker 2: community outreach stuff to keep their uh, their their communities
- 2:02:32Speaker 2: happy and involved, because if not, it's just like somebody's like, well,
- 2:02:36Speaker 2: we don't need Christmas lights. I me gonna you're right,
- 2:02:40Speaker 2: you don't correct, you don't need Christmas lights. You're a
- 2:02:42Speaker 2: hundred percent right. But when you walk downtown and you
- 2:02:45Speaker 2: and your town has pride and they put up some
- 2:02:47Speaker 2: Christmas decorations, that that feels great.
- 2:02:50Speaker 6: Now, how about all the businesses that that attracts people
- 2:02:54Speaker 6: to come in see the Christmas lights, eat in your restaurant's, shop,
- 2:02:57Speaker 6: in your shops. Now you're giving people form outside communities
- 2:03:01Speaker 6: no point to even come in.
- 2:03:02Speaker 7: The veracity and the the vitriol that we're seeing in
- 2:03:08Speaker 7: the response makes me feel that it's gonna have to
- 2:03:11Speaker 7: pass things. You're gonna have to go poorly for them
- 2:03:15Speaker 7: to understand. And there are some people who, no matter
- 2:03:19Speaker 7: what they vote for, no matter how far the results
- 2:03:23Speaker 7: are different, from what they vote for, they will still
- 2:03:26Speaker 7: not admit that. I think we've seen that a lot
- 2:03:29Speaker 7: with people, I'm voting for this for this reason, and
- 2:03:33Speaker 7: something else happens and they just kind of they can't
- 2:03:36Speaker 7: admit there they might have been wrong about something.
- 2:03:39Speaker 2: They didn't look at it the right way or whatever.
- 2:03:40Speaker 2: Space said, well, I can pay ten dollars to launch
- 2:03:43Speaker 2: my boat. Okay, that's fine.
- 2:03:44Speaker 3: Yeah, you're.
- 2:03:46Speaker 5: Not going to if.
- 2:03:47Speaker 2: You're not going to have a choice there, I'm gonna
- 2:03:48Speaker 2: tell you something else. I mean, much like winter springs
- 2:03:50Speaker 2: and there are other areas out there. This is not
- 2:03:52Speaker 2: just located to us. I mean this is on the coast.
- 2:03:54Speaker 2: Everybody can hear our voices.
- 2:03:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:03:56Speaker 2: I mean maybe a point when, at some point where
- 2:03:58Speaker 2: when your kid plays little League, a little league fee
- 2:04:00Speaker 2: now is not going to be forty five dollars a
- 2:04:02Speaker 2: year whatever, Maybe it's three hundred dollars a year, because
- 2:04:04Speaker 2: part of that fee turns on the lights and cuts
- 2:04:06Speaker 2: the grass for the for the fields, also hires the
- 2:04:09Speaker 2: umpire that calls your game.
- 2:04:11Speaker 7: I've been known to be a frugal person. You guys
- 2:04:14Speaker 7: have much more derogatory terms for it. Yeah, However, I
- 2:04:18Speaker 7: like to save money. I wouldn't mind having more money back,
- 2:04:21Speaker 7: maybe a little bump in the homestead. But when you
- 2:04:25Speaker 7: are talking about changing how your local government runs, it
- 2:04:30Speaker 7: will affect the quality of life in your community where
- 2:04:35Speaker 7: all politics are local. That I believe you talk about
- 2:04:38Speaker 7: people are suspect of the government. I think it's worse.
- 2:04:43Speaker 7: The higher you go, the worse it is. And I
- 2:04:46Speaker 7: think it's at its most honest and most fair at
- 2:04:49Speaker 7: that local level because they are trying to get your
- 2:04:53Speaker 7: trash picked up the community, they live in the community,
- 2:04:56Speaker 7: They're trying to get things done for the community.
- 2:04:59Speaker 3: I think that.
- 2:05:00Speaker 7: And you go to the state level and the federal level,
- 2:05:02Speaker 7: that's where you definitely see more corruptionable fare.
- 2:05:07Speaker 2: Per Jerry yet not enough question Jerry demons. Jerry Dimmings,
- 2:05:11Speaker 2: the mayor of Orlando, said they will find a three
- 2:05:14Speaker 2: hundred million dollars shortfall because of this, and of course
- 2:05:17Speaker 2: Orlando proper is a big h you know, obviously a
- 2:05:20Speaker 2: big industrial area in the sense that they've hurried a
- 2:05:23Speaker 2: lot of revenue. But you know, it's three hundred million dollars.
- 2:05:25Speaker 2: I mean, they're gonna have to make that up somewhere.
- 2:05:27Speaker 2: So you know, your impact fees may be higher, your tolls.
- 2:05:30Speaker 3: May go up.
- 2:05:31Speaker 2: I mean, is everybody gonna be cool if tolls go
- 2:05:33Speaker 2: from a dollar twenty five to six bucks?
- 2:05:37Speaker 7: Or or if if that, I mean, if that happened her,
- 2:05:39Speaker 7: I can police my own yard. I'm sure he'll be
- 2:05:41Speaker 7: fine with that. I No, maybe you'll say maybe you
- 2:05:43Speaker 7: don't take toll roads. Maybe that's the case. But you know,
- 2:05:45Speaker 7: and my wife, my wife and I were talking about
- 2:05:46Speaker 7: this today.
- 2:05:47Speaker 2: She said, well, if you had your budget, your house budget,
- 2:05:51Speaker 2: and then you lost thirty percent of that money, maybe
- 2:05:54Speaker 2: somebody lost their job, there's a pay cut, whatever the
- 2:05:57Speaker 2: case may be, you would find a way to make it.
- 2:06:00Speaker 2: You would find cuts in your budget to make it.
- 2:06:02Speaker 2: And I said, you're right, no question, you would have
- 2:06:04Speaker 2: to do that. What gets cut, but what gets cut
- 2:06:08Speaker 2: you have to figure that out because this guy says, well,
- 2:06:09Speaker 2: I don't want to I don't like fireworks. Well a
- 2:06:11Speaker 2: lot of people like fireworks. So I mean, maybe you
- 2:06:14Speaker 2: have to pay to see fireworks. Now, maybe maybe they'll
- 2:06:16Speaker 2: take a donation and do that, because I mean, if
- 2:06:17Speaker 2: there's not money to do that, you don't get that,
- 2:06:19Speaker 2: or maybe there just start fireworks anymore.
- 2:06:22Speaker 6: Those contracts have to be put in place that years
- 2:06:24Speaker 6: would be oh not years in advance, but it would
- 2:06:26Speaker 6: be too difficult to do that.
- 2:06:28Speaker 5: It's kind of like frostbite.
- 2:06:29Speaker 6: When you first get frostbite, the first thing your body
- 2:06:32Speaker 6: does is it sacrifices your extremities. Right, you lose your
- 2:06:37Speaker 6: fingers and your toes. Maybe it'll get so bad you
- 2:06:39Speaker 6: lose your hand in your feet, your hands and your feet. Hell,
- 2:06:42Speaker 6: it gets so bad you lose your arms in your legs.
- 2:06:44Speaker 6: Technically you still survived.
- 2:06:48Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah's what you're saying.
- 2:06:49Speaker 6: You'll still survive, but you just have to decide which
- 2:06:51Speaker 6: extremity you're cool with losingya And.
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: I mean the and again I asked him. By the way,
- 2:06:57Speaker 2: he is a third generation mayor. His grand I think
- 2:06:59Speaker 2: he had two great grandfathers. They are also mayor of Sandford.
- 2:07:02Speaker 2: He's an eighth generation resident of Sandford, Florida. He took
- 2:07:06Speaker 2: over when Jeff Tripplett resigned. He did in twenty twenty
- 2:07:09Speaker 2: or so. Also, I believe he's a teacher at Obedo
- 2:07:11Speaker 2: High School. So it's not like you know, again, I mean,
- 2:07:13Speaker 2: when you talk about people taking money, I remember talking
- 2:07:15Speaker 2: to Triple and he was there they don't make any money.
- 2:07:17Speaker 3: The commissioners on mean, they have real jobs.
- 2:07:18Speaker 2: They have jobs. I mean he has a job. He's
- 2:07:20Speaker 2: a teacher. Yeah, you know, and he does this on
- 2:07:23Speaker 2: the side. I mean, there's no great grift going on
- 2:07:25Speaker 2: at this level. I know, you know, what you're saying
- 2:07:27Speaker 2: earlier is exactly accurate. And he doesn't know one civic leader,
- 2:07:31Speaker 2: not one mayor or city manager that's for this, because
- 2:07:34Speaker 2: of course he understands and they understand that when these
- 2:07:36Speaker 2: things come down, they're gonna have to start cutting stuff.
- 2:07:39Speaker 2: And you think the complaints are bad, now wait until
- 2:07:41Speaker 2: that family who you know, who are those families that
- 2:07:44Speaker 2: really like going to this park and watching this don't
- 2:07:46Speaker 2: have that park anymore because there's no insurance money to
- 2:07:49Speaker 2: make sure that if you get injured there, that the
- 2:07:51Speaker 2: city gets sued and they can cover that that's done.
- 2:07:53Speaker 3: They will chain that up.
- 2:07:54Speaker 7: I think anyone who has a budget and has to
- 2:07:57Speaker 7: function within a budget, finding out that it's going to
- 2:08:02Speaker 7: be less and now you have to just you know,
- 2:08:05Speaker 7: figure it out, is.
- 2:08:07Speaker 3: Not going to like that.
- 2:08:08Speaker 7: But just if it's just in your household, like your
- 2:08:12Speaker 7: your wife was saying, if you know the household budget
- 2:08:15Speaker 7: got cut. You would have to cut things that you
- 2:08:18Speaker 7: guys are used to, you know, and maybe it's going
- 2:08:21Speaker 7: out to eat or in a family, maybe it's dance.
- 2:08:25Speaker 3: Lessons for your kids.
- 2:08:26Speaker 7: If you it's just you have to make the numbers
- 2:08:29Speaker 7: match at the end of the month, and cuts have
- 2:08:33Speaker 7: to come from somewhere.
- 2:08:34Speaker 2: And there's a lot of I mean, I read over
- 2:08:36Speaker 2: a second ago and I've heard this opinion elsewhere. I
- 2:08:38Speaker 2: think Sean the News Shucky is is for this. He
- 2:08:42Speaker 2: he wants it, and you know he's been making the
- 2:08:44Speaker 2: argument for it because every time I talk about it,
- 2:08:46Speaker 2: you know, people are like, well, you know, you need
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: to talk to your midday show because he thinks it.
- 2:08:50Speaker 2: Shaun can have his opinion. I don't care's opinion. I mean,
- 2:08:53Speaker 2: he owns what you need to talk to. He owns
- 2:08:55Speaker 2: a home. It's probably gonna save him some money too,
- 2:08:56Speaker 2: because he's got a nice place, you know, so you know,
- 2:09:00Speaker 2: all those things happen. But you know, I for me,
- 2:09:02Speaker 2: you know, if you are involved with the community and
- 2:09:05Speaker 2: you are used to certain things communities provide to you,
- 2:09:07Speaker 2: you'll prepare yourself accordingly because those things, some of those
- 2:09:10Speaker 2: things may go away and you're just gonna have to
- 2:09:13Speaker 2: kind of live with that and maybe to volunteer services.
- 2:09:15Speaker 2: You bring up a good point with Kdieway trails, right,
- 2:09:17Speaker 2: all the trails all through whether it be the West
- 2:09:19Speaker 2: Orange Trail, Katie Way, the ones out in no Vino,
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: there are tons of them. I mean, during these storms,
- 2:09:24Speaker 2: if trees fall over these trails, there's nobody there to
- 2:09:27Speaker 2: do that. So it'll take volunteer programs going there cut
- 2:09:30Speaker 2: the trees down, all those trees out. If you want
- 2:09:33Speaker 2: to use that trail the way it's meant to be used,
- 2:09:34Speaker 2: or you're gonna mind up picking up your bicycle and
- 2:09:36Speaker 2: lifting in over trails or through holes in the sidewalks
- 2:09:39Speaker 2: if they get washed out.
- 2:09:40Speaker 3: That's all part of that.
- 2:09:41Speaker 7: Whenever people could get money back or pay less whatever
- 2:09:45Speaker 7: the political argument is, it's going to be popular for many, sure,
- 2:09:49Speaker 7: you right, but there will be effects of it. And
- 2:09:53Speaker 7: if this passes, like if they get probably passed by
- 2:09:56Speaker 7: based on the polling that you've seen, then you'll adjust,
- 2:10:01Speaker 7: Well we'll survive, but it'll just be it'll affect the
- 2:10:06Speaker 7: quality of life in your community.
- 2:10:08Speaker 3: Just be prepared for that. Yeah, that's it.
- 2:10:10Speaker 2: I mean, that's what and that's basically like when it
- 2:10:12Speaker 2: comes to being four or against it, people are like, oh,
- 2:10:14Speaker 2: you're pro taxes. I'm not pro I'm not pro taxes,
- 2:10:17Speaker 2: you know. I'm pro that I enjoy what this tax provides.
- 2:10:21Speaker 2: And if they can lower that tax and still provide
- 2:10:23Speaker 2: those things or make cuts elsewhere, let's do it. That's
- 2:10:25Speaker 2: another thing my wife was saying. It's like, well, this
- 2:10:27Speaker 2: is going to force small governments to really tighten up
- 2:10:30Speaker 2: their purse drinks to make sure that they're not wasting money.
- 2:10:33Speaker 2: That's another big thing. You hear this waste, fraud and
- 2:10:35Speaker 2: abused thing that's been pushed a lot, and everybody kind
- 2:10:38Speaker 2: of all of a sudden believes that every single government
- 2:10:41Speaker 2: entity is out there blowing money crazy on stuff that
- 2:10:44Speaker 2: shouldn't be blown. I'm sure there is some of that,
- 2:10:46Speaker 2: but like the mayor said, there ain't eighteen million dollars
- 2:10:48Speaker 2: of it. Yeah, they're maybe not even two million dollars
- 2:10:50Speaker 2: of it.
- 2:10:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:10:51Speaker 7: And Orange County's public laureate was in drawing three hundred
- 2:10:54Speaker 7: million dollars.
- 2:10:55Speaker 3: I know he was not.
- 2:10:57Speaker 2: So it's gonna be interesting to see how, you know,
- 2:10:59Speaker 2: f this thing passes, and I do believe it will
- 2:11:02Speaker 2: next year around this time. What those conversations will look like,
- 2:11:05Speaker 2: you know, when some of these services are gone away
- 2:11:07Speaker 2: and people have to reacclimate their lives and not having
- 2:11:09Speaker 2: access to that stuff.
- 2:11:11Speaker 7: I also think that you know, we'll probably have a
- 2:11:13Speaker 7: lot more between They'll be a lot more said because
- 2:11:16Speaker 7: it just a week ago, you know, past where it's
- 2:11:20Speaker 7: going where we're told it's going to be on the ballot.
- 2:11:23Speaker 7: So you have a lot of time for cities and
- 2:11:26Speaker 7: towns to kind of really assess what this shortfall means
- 2:11:32Speaker 7: and what it will affect. And the people of those
- 2:11:35Speaker 7: communities need to make that decision for themselves.
- 2:11:38Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know, and again I really do, and
- 2:11:40Speaker 2: I wonder, and I'm interested by the way, this is
- 2:11:42Speaker 2: not me making this up. These are civic leaders saying
- 2:11:44Speaker 2: these things. I wonder what's going to be like. You know,
- 2:11:46Speaker 2: when some of these people who want this, you know,
- 2:11:47Speaker 2: go to get a building permit for a shed they
- 2:11:49Speaker 2: wouldn't put in the back of their house, or they
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: want to do something that requires an impact fee or
- 2:11:53Speaker 2: something like that. I mean, these fees are going to
- 2:11:55Speaker 2: go up. They're going to have to create this revenue,
- 2:11:57Speaker 2: at least some of it somewhere else. That could be
- 2:12:00Speaker 2: through toll roads, it could be through fees that go increased.
- 2:12:03Speaker 2: It could be a lot of things. So it's gonna
- 2:12:05Speaker 2: be interesting to see how that happens. I believe counties
- 2:12:08Speaker 2: actually have the ability to put gas taxes on. There's
- 2:12:10Speaker 2: a possibility your gas could get more expensive because they
- 2:12:13Speaker 2: could increase the gas tax in that county. Late County
- 2:12:15Speaker 2: is looking at it right now.
- 2:12:16Speaker 3: How dare you?
- 2:12:17Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true though. It happens all the time, and
- 2:12:19Speaker 2: you just like your sewage assessment tax. They can do
- 2:12:21Speaker 2: that without saying anything. So the money has to come
- 2:12:24Speaker 2: from somewhere unless people just vote and say, hey, look
- 2:12:26Speaker 2: we don't want that stuff. We don't care about the
- 2:12:28Speaker 2: baseball fields, we don't care about it. I don't do that,
- 2:12:30Speaker 2: I don't get to baseball fields. We don't care about
- 2:12:32Speaker 2: any of that stuff.
- 2:12:33Speaker 7: I haven't been to a Winter Springs fireworks show in years. Yeah,
- 2:12:37Speaker 7: I kind of like the fact that we have them, though,
- 2:12:38Speaker 7: but again, making a disargument, making a disargument with my wife.
- 2:12:42Speaker 7: One of the things that this has been said is
- 2:12:43Speaker 7: like communities will have to join together, they're governments, like
- 2:12:46Speaker 7: they will have to kind of meld together, so they
- 2:12:49Speaker 7: can afford these things. Do I believe that Samford, Taberry's, Leesburg, Orlando, Longwood?
- 2:12:55Speaker 7: Do they all need separate firework shows? Maybe not, But
- 2:12:59Speaker 7: I think that it's a drop in the bucket what
- 2:13:01Speaker 7: you're talking about when it comes to.
- 2:13:02Speaker 2: A community's tax base. Yeah, maybe it's one hundred grand.
- 2:13:06Speaker 2: Is it worth one hundred grand?
- 2:13:07Speaker 3: Maybe?
- 2:13:07Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Well let's say we combine all these down
- 2:13:10Speaker 2: into one giant firework show and we say five hundred
- 2:13:12Speaker 2: thousand dollars. Awesome, that's five hundred k. There's a shortcoming
- 2:13:15Speaker 2: of eighteen million. That's five hundred thousand for one thing.
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: So I guess you have to go out and find
- 2:13:21Speaker 2: some other stuff. Yeah, like thirty five more fireworks seven?
- 2:13:24Speaker 2: I went one back in a second.
- 2:13:30Speaker 16: A good example of what happens when you decrease your
- 2:13:32Speaker 16: taxes to the point that they're discussing now, look at
- 2:13:35Speaker 16: Kansas in the early teens, major corporations left the state.
- 2:13:40Speaker 16: A lot never moved there that we're planning to because
- 2:13:43Speaker 16: the quality of life outside of work suffered so dramatically.
- 2:13:49Speaker 16: Schools parts. That's just the beginning.
- 2:13:54Speaker 4: I'm sure I'm overthinking it. But what's the chance the
- 2:13:56Speaker 4: state wants to eliminate the property tax to remove the
- 2:13:58Speaker 4: funding and effectively power from local municipalities then say hey.
- 2:14:03Speaker 3: Don't worry.
- 2:14:03Speaker 4: If you need extra funding, we'll provide it for you
- 2:14:06Speaker 4: if we approve of your programs. Oh and since we've
- 2:14:08Speaker 4: got a shortfall of our own, we're going to have
- 2:14:10Speaker 4: to increase the state's sales tax and effectively increase a
- 2:14:13Speaker 4: flat tax on all cost of living. I'm just curious.
- 2:14:17Speaker 2: Yeah, man, that's that's one of the situations that I mean,
- 2:14:20Speaker 2: it's being kind of buried because everybody's talking about the
- 2:14:23Speaker 2: money aspect of this, but actually, just between the break,
- 2:14:25Speaker 2: Jack and I were talking in one of the other
- 2:14:27Speaker 2: aspects of this that makes it very interesting is this
- 2:14:29Speaker 2: slush fund thing that the mayor brought up that really
- 2:14:31Speaker 2: hasn't uh.
- 2:14:35Speaker 6: It was planned and then it was taken out of
- 2:14:37Speaker 6: the language jes A bill, and I think part of
- 2:14:39Speaker 6: that was probably because of when the mayor mentioned that
- 2:14:42Speaker 6: the state's going to be in a deficit. They can't
- 2:14:45Speaker 6: say they're going to have they can't put a slush
- 2:14:47Speaker 6: fund into the language of the law if they're not
- 2:14:50Speaker 6: going to have said slush fund available, So they took
- 2:14:52Speaker 6: that out, which is interesting because if you remember, the
- 2:14:54Speaker 6: governor has been bragging about all the money that Florida
- 2:14:57Speaker 6: has been sitting on.
- 2:14:58Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent until we had well and we
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: still have to. Well, we paid for Alligator Alley, we
- 2:15:03Speaker 2: have our Alligator Alcatraz, and we haven't been refunded for that.
- 2:15:07Speaker 2: That was a promise the president gave Ron DeSantis and
- 2:15:09Speaker 2: we haven't seen a dime of that money yet. Now,
- 2:15:11Speaker 2: again that's not over yet, but as of right now,
- 2:15:13Speaker 2: we have not been reimbursed for that. That's almost a
- 2:15:15Speaker 2: billion dollars, seven hundred and fifty million dollars.
- 2:15:18Speaker 7: But regardless, if this passes, it is a power shift
- 2:15:22Speaker 7: from local municipalities to Tallahassee.
- 2:15:24Speaker 2: Yeah, because what's going to happen is this and this
- 2:15:26Speaker 2: is a scenario that's kind of interesting. And by the way,
- 2:15:28Speaker 2: this is regardless of who would be in power. All right,
- 2:15:31Speaker 2: this is a regardless of scenario. Okay, So imagine if
- 2:15:35Speaker 2: you're a municipality and you have a bridge go out
- 2:15:38Speaker 2: like our friends over Mount Dora, right that bridge leads
- 2:15:41Speaker 2: to downtown and it's a major thoroughfare and you would
- 2:15:44Speaker 2: need it repaired. Well, let's say Mount Dora says, well,
- 2:15:46Speaker 2: it's going to cost three million dollars eight million dollars
- 2:15:49Speaker 2: wherever it is to fix this, but we only have
- 2:15:51Speaker 2: a million bucks. We need to go to the state
- 2:15:53Speaker 2: for the balance of this, and then the stake can go. Well,
- 2:15:56Speaker 2: let's see how you have handled how the governor has
- 2:15:59Speaker 2: ruled for the last year or two years or whatever.
- 2:16:01Speaker 2: Or let's see who your mayor is, or let's see
- 2:16:03Speaker 2: who your county commissioners are, and if they don't agree
- 2:16:06Speaker 2: with those people, maybe they won't fund it, because it's
- 2:16:08Speaker 2: totally up to them, and that could be either side.
- 2:16:11Speaker 2: By the way, that could be if and by the way,
- 2:16:13Speaker 2: we've seen this happen federally, so we know for a
- 2:16:15Speaker 2: fact it can happen, but do not know what's gonna happen.
- 2:16:18Speaker 2: This is all conjecture because as of right now, nobody
- 2:16:21Speaker 2: knows what's really going to happen. We just know that
- 2:16:23Speaker 2: these leaders of these municipalities are telling you there's gonna
- 2:16:26Speaker 2: be short shortfalls and funding, and prepare yourself to lose
- 2:16:29Speaker 2: some of the things that you've been doing in your
- 2:16:31Speaker 2: community because they will have no funding unless they come
- 2:16:33Speaker 2: up with another plan, or it could be a pay
- 2:16:36Speaker 2: for plaything. Again, when you show up for your ball
- 2:16:38Speaker 2: game to wantch your kid play a little league maybe
- 2:16:40Speaker 2: instead of just walking up and sitting down your chair
- 2:16:42Speaker 2: and grabbing your cooler and cheering on your son, it's
- 2:16:44Speaker 2: gonna be twenty dollars a person.
- 2:16:46Speaker 3: Into the game.
- 2:16:47Speaker 7: That pretty much happened with high school is athletics, right,
- 2:16:50Speaker 7: or just school athletics where it used to be.
- 2:16:53Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 2:16:54Speaker 7: Growing up, I don't think it was as expensive as
- 2:16:57Speaker 7: it is now to be part of that.
- 2:16:59Speaker 2: But I do remember paying to go to football games
- 2:17:01Speaker 2: when I was a kid. It was like three or
- 2:17:02Speaker 2: four five dollars or whatever it was to go to
- 2:17:03Speaker 2: a football game when I was a kid.
- 2:17:05Speaker 7: That's to attend it, though, I mean if you are
- 2:17:07Speaker 7: going when you were taking part in athletic I was
- 2:17:11Speaker 7: playing baseball. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that has
- 2:17:14Speaker 7: become more expensive now.
- 2:17:17Speaker 3: Yeah, it may have. I don't have kids who do it.
- 2:17:18Speaker 2: I did not pay, and by the way, we did
- 2:17:20Speaker 2: not pay for our kids to play athletics in school.
- 2:17:23Speaker 3: My kids.
- 2:17:23Speaker 2: You know, I think we paid for the singlets and
- 2:17:26Speaker 2: maybe the uniforms, but I'm not even sure about that. Yeah,
- 2:17:29Speaker 2: you know, I know, we had to pay for shoes,
- 2:17:31Speaker 2: but in the clubs they even gave you shoes.
- 2:17:34Speaker 3: But we paid to go to the games.
- 2:17:36Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. I mean my kid was playing for
- 2:17:37Speaker 2: the school. I paid to go to volleyball games over
- 2:17:39Speaker 2: and over again, and so did every other parent. But
- 2:17:41Speaker 2: that's used to fund the program. I believe, right, Isn't
- 2:17:44Speaker 2: that the whole idea? Yeah, is you pay for your
- 2:17:46Speaker 2: volleyball game. That way the volleyball players don't have to
- 2:17:48Speaker 2: pay for the I guess inadvertently you are paying for it,
- 2:17:51Speaker 2: but it's not set up like that.
- 2:17:55Speaker 6: Somebody had texted us earlier and said, I live in
- 2:17:57Speaker 6: the middle of nowhere, in the city you're familiar with
- 2:18:00Speaker 6: called Fort McCoy. We have no trash pick up. The
- 2:18:03Speaker 6: closest boat ramp is twenty one to fifty to launch.
- 2:18:05Speaker 6: The people that complain about the prices of utilities and
- 2:18:08Speaker 6: extracurricular activities in my area are the ones that aren't
- 2:18:12Speaker 6: understanding how far that money goes.
- 2:18:14Speaker 3: Yeah yah, yeah.
- 2:18:15Speaker 2: And somebody said here that county commissioners make six figure
- 2:18:18Speaker 2: salaries and do very little do they.
- 2:18:20Speaker 3: I do not know the answer to that. I don't believe.
- 2:18:22Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know what county. He says he
- 2:18:23Speaker 2: works for a county. I've been talking to him a
- 2:18:24Speaker 2: little bit and he says he's been working for a county,
- 2:18:27Speaker 2: and county commissioners make six figures.
- 2:18:28Speaker 3: I do not know. They may. I do not know
- 2:18:30Speaker 3: the answer to that.
- 2:18:32Speaker 6: I think it depends on the county. It may know,
- 2:18:34Speaker 6: Levy County isn't going to make six figures. Miami Dade
- 2:18:37Speaker 6: probably does.
- 2:18:38Speaker 2: Yeah, Orlando may, I don't know. I mean, Orlando, I
- 2:18:40Speaker 2: don't know if leesburgs. Do you think city commissioners in
- 2:18:43Speaker 2: Leesburg make six figures? I mean, I'm sure it's it's
- 2:18:45Speaker 2: I'm sure it's proportional to their tax base. Sure, and
- 2:18:48Speaker 2: they do in Seminole County. So Seminole County commissioners just
- 2:18:52Speaker 2: into that with one hundred and three to one hundred
- 2:18:54Speaker 2: and five thousand.
- 2:18:55Speaker 3: There you have.
- 2:18:56Speaker 2: So what they're saying is is they want city commissioners
- 2:18:58Speaker 2: to have salary cut. You know, that's that's the whole idea.
- 2:19:02Speaker 2: That's where you want to start. You got the city
- 2:19:03Speaker 2: commissioners and you cut their salaries. Yeah, and again I
- 2:19:06Speaker 2: would tell you that. You know, like I've said before,
- 2:19:08Speaker 2: I don't think we pay politicians enough. And I know
- 2:19:10Speaker 2: that is a really really unique hot take.
- 2:19:14Speaker 7: Based on where we were with the property taxes. Yeah,
- 2:19:16Speaker 7: I don't think.
- 2:19:17Speaker 3: You're winning with that one. Yeah, probably not gonna win
- 2:19:19Speaker 3: with that one.
- 2:19:19Speaker 2: But it's based in good logic, because if you want
- 2:19:21Speaker 2: your businesses run properly with integrity, you can't hire people
- 2:19:25Speaker 2: who just feel like it'd be cool to be a commissioner.
- 2:19:27Speaker 2: You have to hire people no differently than if you're
- 2:19:30Speaker 2: hiring that person for a private company. You want the
- 2:19:32Speaker 2: best person to run that job. So I don't agree
- 2:19:35Speaker 2: with the whole idea of hey, let's only pay the
- 2:19:37Speaker 2: person thirty five dollars. Guess what you're gonna get thirty
- 2:19:40Speaker 2: five thousand dollars a year with the service.
- 2:19:42Speaker 3: And I learned that.
- 2:19:43Speaker 7: I remember that argument back when we were talking about
- 2:19:45Speaker 7: before One Blood. It used to be the Central Florida
- 2:19:49Speaker 7: Blood Bank and there were I think three companies in
- 2:19:51Speaker 7: the state of Florida. Then they e merge, but at
- 2:19:53Speaker 7: the time, I believe her name was Anne Shinoda. What
- 2:19:56Speaker 7: she was paying was getting paid to run it was
- 2:19:59Speaker 7: like six hundred thousand dollars, and everyone's you know, they
- 2:20:03Speaker 7: they make their business off a donation, right yeah, and
- 2:20:06Speaker 7: then they sell that blood to you know hospital, Yes,
- 2:20:09Speaker 7: you know so, And I was like, well, why is
- 2:20:13Speaker 7: she getting so much? It's like I'm donating my blood
- 2:20:15Speaker 7: that they're selling. Why is her pay so high? But
- 2:20:19Speaker 7: then I come to learn that you have to compete
- 2:20:23Speaker 7: if you want someone to run the business that size
- 2:20:25Speaker 7: you're competing with, you know, the the you know, commercial
- 2:20:29Speaker 7: market or the what the market pays for CEOs to
- 2:20:34Speaker 7: run businesses with. You're competing with the private sector as
- 2:20:38Speaker 7: well as your non for profit, so you still have
- 2:20:42Speaker 7: to pay that much to get a certain level of quality.
- 2:20:46Speaker 2: I mean, one of the oldest adages in the world
- 2:20:48Speaker 2: is what you get what you pay for, right yeah.
- 2:20:50Speaker 2: If you pay three dollars for a pair of shoes
- 2:20:52Speaker 2: and expect that pair of shoes to last you a
- 2:20:54Speaker 2: couple of weeks. But if you pay one hundred and
- 2:20:55Speaker 2: fifty dollars for a pair of shoes, you expect that
- 2:20:57Speaker 2: pair of shoes to last a while and to provide
- 2:20:59Speaker 2: us hurtain service for you, whether ankle support, soft walk,
- 2:21:03Speaker 2: whatever the case may be.
- 2:21:04Speaker 3: It's the same with people.
- 2:21:06Speaker 2: I mean, when I owned my business, I had to
- 2:21:07Speaker 2: pay my press operator the most, because everybody else wanted
- 2:21:11Speaker 2: a really good press operator and he could get all
- 2:21:13Speaker 2: the money he wanted, so I had to pay that
- 2:21:15Speaker 2: person office manager or the same thing. Sure I could
- 2:21:17Speaker 2: have gotten somebody in there for eleven dollars an hour,
- 2:21:19Speaker 2: and guess what would have happened. My shop would have
- 2:21:21Speaker 2: collapsed because the person to make it eleven dollars an
- 2:21:23Speaker 2: hour doesn't know what the f is going on. So
- 2:21:26Speaker 2: it and like somebody just texted in and said, nobody
- 2:21:30Speaker 2: wants a paytable. I don't want to pay property taxes either,
- 2:21:32Speaker 2: but I do understand the value of what it provides.
- 2:21:35Speaker 2: And by the way, if this goes away, trust me
- 2:21:38Speaker 2: what I tell you, it's just gonna be a shift
- 2:21:40Speaker 2: that the revenue has to come from somewhere. There will
- 2:21:43Speaker 2: be cuts, but there's not enough money out there to
- 2:21:45Speaker 2: cut enough. I mean the mayor just said it himself.
- 2:21:47Speaker 2: I mean you said it even earlier. Even like, even
- 2:21:50Speaker 2: with all of that cut back, I'm still a million short.
- 2:21:53Speaker 2: So I gotta go find another million dollars to cut
- 2:21:56Speaker 2: from that. Even after shutting the parks down, even after
- 2:21:58Speaker 2: doing all that stuff that people think is so unnecessary,
- 2:22:01Speaker 2: I'm still short. So that money will come from somewhere.
- 2:22:08Speaker 7: Listen, I'm not thrilled that my water bill has gone
- 2:22:11Speaker 7: up as much as it has over.
- 2:22:12Speaker 3: The past several years.
- 2:22:14Speaker 7: Yeah, Marion dorm surge washing out bridges because of a
- 2:22:18Speaker 7: rain storm.
- 2:22:19Speaker 2: Now, by the way, let me take you something. Somebody here,
- 2:22:20Speaker 2: Marion County commissioners make one hundred and ten k year. Right,
- 2:22:23Speaker 2: Marion County. That's the horse country out there with all
- 2:22:26Speaker 2: that giant money from the horses and stuff like that. Right,
- 2:22:28Speaker 2: there's Marion County. That's Okawa in those areas there, Run
- 2:22:31Speaker 2: for commissioner.
- 2:22:33Speaker 3: Run.
- 2:22:34Speaker 2: Nobody's stopping you. Run for commissioner. If you want to
- 2:22:36Speaker 2: get that job, go run. I mean, but you can't
- 2:22:39Speaker 2: tell me somebody with a master's degree in finance or
- 2:22:43Speaker 2: a master's degree in business administration is going to take
- 2:22:45Speaker 2: a job for seventy grand a year running a city.
- 2:22:48Speaker 2: They got that job for a reason. It pays that
- 2:22:50Speaker 2: for a reason. And it is a little frustrating because
- 2:22:55Speaker 2: I do understand what they don't understand the job.
- 2:22:58Speaker 3: So it's easy to it's easy.
- 2:23:00Speaker 2: It's easy to abase a job when you don't understand
- 2:23:04Speaker 2: because it seems easy. We've gotten that here for years.
- 2:23:07Speaker 2: Are you just sit and talk for four hours? Yeah,
- 2:23:09Speaker 2: come on down and give it a shot. Yeah, I mean,
- 2:23:11Speaker 2: but that's I'm just using us as an example because
- 2:23:15Speaker 2: people believe we just sit and talk on the radio
- 2:23:17Speaker 2: for four hours a day. You couldn't possibly deserve the
- 2:23:19Speaker 2: salary that you make, or couldn't possibly deserve the perks
- 2:23:22Speaker 2: that you get. Well, I'm begging everybody come down to
- 2:23:25Speaker 2: take my job. Then, I mean, anybody in this building,
- 2:23:27Speaker 2: come and take their job. Do it anywhere. By the way,
- 2:23:30Speaker 2: every employer I know is looking for the next best thing.
- 2:23:33Speaker 2: Go show them at you. Yeah, stop complaining and whining.
- 2:23:38Speaker 7: I think there's a silver lining here with this debate.
- 2:23:42Speaker 7: And what I'm looking forward to is over these next
- 2:23:46Speaker 7: several months is more focus on budgets for your local cities.
- 2:23:53Speaker 3: I think the.
- 2:23:55Speaker 7: We, the voters, should be more aware and more involved
- 2:23:59Speaker 7: and have a better understanding. And I think that education
- 2:24:03Speaker 7: process needs to happen. I think it's going to be
- 2:24:05Speaker 7: on like deb Ass mayor Woodruff from Sanford today. You
- 2:24:10Speaker 7: know about plans, how to communicate, you know where you
- 2:24:15Speaker 7: are with the budget with the constituency, because I believe
- 2:24:20Speaker 7: you know, as voting as voters, we should have a
- 2:24:22Speaker 7: better understanding about where our tax dollars are going because
- 2:24:26Speaker 7: some of these not all of them, but there are
- 2:24:28Speaker 7: some tax it's just pig headed fullness, you know, it's
- 2:24:32Speaker 7: just people with no understanding. And there are some people
- 2:24:36Speaker 7: who I may disagree with their opinion, but they have
- 2:24:39Speaker 7: a much better understanding of decision of the situation.
- 2:24:42Speaker 3: And the votes have the same value. Their votes have
- 2:24:45Speaker 3: the same value.
- 2:24:45Speaker 7: Right, So it's I look forward to the process of
- 2:24:49Speaker 7: us all being better educated on how our tax dollars
- 2:24:52Speaker 7: are spent, yes, and then make that decision is am
- 2:24:56Speaker 7: I for this or against it? Because quality of life
- 2:24:59Speaker 7: is something that you invest in. Yeah, I mean we
- 2:25:01Speaker 7: talk about this at work all the time. You talk
- 2:25:03Speaker 7: about your quality of Like, look, somebody just text and said,
- 2:25:05Speaker 7: you're focusing on one side of this, and it says,
- 2:25:08Speaker 7: hold on, you're focusing on one side of this.
- 2:25:11Speaker 2: Some people aren't worried about these things. They're worried about
- 2:25:13Speaker 2: keeping their house. Well, I mean they're have their house.
- 2:25:15Speaker 2: I mean, property taxes are something that we've always known
- 2:25:17Speaker 2: and when you buy a house, you pay the property tax.
- 2:25:20Speaker 2: Do I think it should be as high as it
- 2:25:21Speaker 2: should no, not a chance. I mean, I think there
- 2:25:24Speaker 2: are ways to work around this. Even the mayor himself
- 2:25:26Speaker 2: said that I would be more than willing to listen
- 2:25:28Speaker 2: to a pitch from anybody on reducing property taxes without
- 2:25:33Speaker 2: affecting the communities as much as possible. But again, I
- 2:25:36Speaker 2: agree with you. This should be an open forum where
- 2:25:38Speaker 2: everybody can kind of understand what's going on and make
- 2:25:40Speaker 2: an educated decision. Look, if somebody showed me the information
- 2:25:43Speaker 2: and said, hey, look this is how we're going to
- 2:25:44Speaker 2: do this, I'd be like, let's do it.
- 2:25:45Speaker 3: I love that money back in my pocket. Are you kidding?
- 2:25:47Speaker 7: You know what worries me much more than this is
- 2:25:51Speaker 7: my next renewal for my homeowner's insurance. Yeah, not knowing,
- 2:25:55Speaker 7: by the way, You don't know, by the way, I
- 2:25:58Speaker 7: gotta tell you. Personally, I believe this is a I
- 2:26:01Speaker 7: think this is a reaction to not having power to
- 2:26:05Speaker 7: make insurance companies do what you want. As a government leader.
- 2:26:08Speaker 6: Well, they have the power, they don't want to exercise
- 2:26:10Speaker 6: the power because we're in an election year and everyone
- 2:26:13Speaker 6: wants to make sure their coffers are full.
- 2:26:15Speaker 2: I understand that. What do you think of a government?
- 2:26:17Speaker 2: What could a government entity do to make an insurance
- 2:26:19Speaker 2: company lower their rates actually and risk and risk that,
- 2:26:23Speaker 2: especially in the state like Florida.
- 2:26:24Speaker 6: Well, I think it's worth them having an honest conversation
- 2:26:27Speaker 6: with these companies. But they're not going to do that
- 2:26:29Speaker 6: during an election year. This is for a governor who
- 2:26:32Speaker 6: can't be re elected again. He can set this damn
- 2:26:35Speaker 6: thing on fire and walk away. He's not going to
- 2:26:37Speaker 6: have to come back and answer any questions about it.
- 2:26:39Speaker 3: So what's the connection that you're saying with the homeowner's insurance.
- 2:26:44Speaker 2: Well, if you can't as a governor, and this the
- 2:26:46Speaker 2: biggest issue this entire year. One of the biggest issues
- 2:26:49Speaker 2: for the state, before you know the Iran thing and
- 2:26:52Speaker 2: cost of gas and groceries went through the roof, was
- 2:26:54Speaker 2: homeowners insurance. This has been a major talking point for
- 2:26:57Speaker 2: two and a half three years in the state because
- 2:26:59Speaker 2: of the exorbitan rates we've paid because of hurricane hits.
- 2:27:02Speaker 2: But if you as a private entity, as a government entity,
- 2:27:04Speaker 2: you can't tell a private business how to run their business. Now,
- 2:27:07Speaker 2: you could regulate that, you could pass legislation to regulate
- 2:27:10Speaker 2: that or make them do certain things. But like deb said,
- 2:27:13Speaker 2: I if that lobby is so gigantic, and it's funding
- 2:27:15Speaker 2: half of your campaign. You're probably not going to do that.
- 2:27:18Speaker 2: But one way to make your life easier to live
- 2:27:20Speaker 2: if I can't reduce your property or if I can't
- 2:27:23Speaker 2: your home owner's insurance, is reduce your property tax.
- 2:27:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:27:26Speaker 2: Right, And because they're about the same, aren't they. Like
- 2:27:28Speaker 2: when you look at property taxes in your home owner's insurance,
- 2:27:31Speaker 2: ours is almost exactly the same.
- 2:27:32Speaker 6: But the property insurance wouldn't have this detrimental effect that
- 2:27:35Speaker 6: it's expected to have on cities, counties and other universalities.
- 2:27:38Speaker 6: So this is a way for Tallahassee to act like
- 2:27:41Speaker 6: it cares, act like it's trying to give us some
- 2:27:43Speaker 6: money in our pocket, but really it's robbing Peter to
- 2:27:46Speaker 6: pay Paul that one way or another, we're going to
- 2:27:48Speaker 6: pay for this choice.
- 2:27:49Speaker 2: And that's the tax shift I was talking about deb
- 2:27:50Speaker 2: one hundred percent. If you look at your tax bill
- 2:27:52Speaker 2: right now, you're paying three K year in property taxes
- 2:27:54Speaker 2: or whatever, and you're like, man, I'm getting that money back.
- 2:27:56Speaker 2: That's going to be awesome. Well, watch what happens in
- 2:27:58Speaker 2: the next two or three years. When govern trying to
- 2:28:00Speaker 2: are when municipalities trying to figure out how to make
- 2:28:02Speaker 2: this money back. Maybe you're maybe you're you know, your
- 2:28:04Speaker 2: tolls go up. You know, maybe you are paying fees
- 2:28:06Speaker 2: to see that baseball game, or go to the boat ramper,
- 2:28:08Speaker 2: or see these fireworks shows or do whatever, or maybe
- 2:28:11Speaker 2: they cut them all. But you can met your ass.
- 2:28:13Speaker 2: They're not going to be able to do it all
- 2:28:15Speaker 2: on their own. They're going to have to create revenue elsewhere,
- 2:28:18Speaker 2: for sure, Debb, you get some news for us.
- 2:28:19Speaker 6: Pete Hegseth pledges strong and clear strikes on Iran. Tonight,
- 2:28:22Speaker 6: a new driver's license bill takes effect July first, and
- 2:28:26Speaker 6: a bar in Little Havana is named one of the
- 2:28:28Speaker 6: best in the US. We'll talk about that next daring.
- 2:28:31Speaker 6: You heard it here first.
- 2:28:31Speaker 2: All right, seven seven zero three one. That's how you
- 2:28:33Speaker 2: text Uslet's take a little break. We'll come back to
- 2:28:35Speaker 2: Depths News and get the hell out of here.

- 2:29:51Speaker 3: Would like them to put one by me. Could you
- 2:29:53Speaker 3: make that request? Yeah, you assure you. It's kind of cool.
- 2:29:56Speaker 3: How do you do it?
- 2:29:57Speaker 13: Though?
- 2:29:57Speaker 3: It's a really interesting company.
- 2:29:58Speaker 2: ACE Hardware one of the most integrity field companies out there,
- 2:30:01Speaker 2: and uh, these franchises are awesome. I mean they really are.
- 2:30:04Speaker 2: These guys really step it up. I mean high level
- 2:30:07Speaker 2: knives they have, they have workwear and outdoorwear. They have
- 2:30:12Speaker 2: like stuff on your back porch, not only the egg,

- 2:30:20Speaker 2: They've done a really good job. They're awesome people too.
- 2:30:22Speaker 3: By the way.
- 2:30:23Speaker 7: I actually uh went to one recently and it's I
- 2:30:27Speaker 7: was doing some work around the house and it's like
- 2:30:29Speaker 7: I needed an adopt I'm like, oh, let me look online,
- 2:30:32Speaker 7: and I saw the price.
- 2:30:32Speaker 3: I'm like huh. And then I went to hardware and
- 2:30:36Speaker 3: I got it for.
- 2:30:37Speaker 2: Like third of the price. You'll never have to search
- 2:30:40Speaker 2: for somebody to help you in one of those stores.
- 2:30:41Speaker 2: That's the other thing, dude, they are.
- 2:30:42Speaker 3: It's a friend. Hey, can I help you? Like yeah,
- 2:30:47Speaker 3: so unlike the box store.
- 2:30:48Speaker 2: All right, seven seven zero three to one. Welcome back
- 2:30:50Speaker 2: on Jim, there's deb Hello Jack is here as well. Hey, look,
- 2:30:53Speaker 2: I really appreciate all the feedback on this topic. This
- 2:30:55Speaker 2: is not and and you know I'm getting accused of
- 2:30:58Speaker 2: only pushing one side of the topic. Well, the other
- 2:30:59Speaker 2: side is very easy. You don't pay property taxes. There
- 2:31:02Speaker 2: you go, that's the other side. You get all that
- 2:31:04Speaker 2: money back. I mean eventually you'll get it back. I
- 2:31:05Speaker 2: mean you'll get a reduction, and a bigger reduction than eventually.
- 2:31:08Speaker 7: It's one hundred and fifty that they bump the home
- 2:31:11Speaker 7: stead which is now at fifty thousand.
- 2:31:13Speaker 3: Is your home set exemptive? Right?
- 2:31:14Speaker 2: First year bumps to one fifty, and then the second
- 2:31:17Speaker 2: year pumps to two fifty.
- 2:31:18Speaker 3: And right, and then I think the idea is to
- 2:31:20Speaker 3: abolish it completely.
- 2:31:22Speaker 7: And gives this state more control over where it goes
- 2:31:26Speaker 7: in the future.
- 2:31:26Speaker 2: Right and again for me, like I said, I would
- 2:31:29Speaker 2: greatly benefit from this. But I'm I'm a realist in
- 2:31:31Speaker 2: a sense where I look at this and I understand
- 2:31:33Speaker 2: I wonder how people are going to acclimate to not
- 2:31:36Speaker 2: having some of these community services that they enjoy. Are
- 2:31:40Speaker 2: I mean, are they going to have that money in
- 2:31:41Speaker 2: their pocket? Is going to be better for them? It
- 2:31:43Speaker 2: could be, no question. I'm just looking at this at
- 2:31:46Speaker 2: a different lens where I think, man, it'd be like this,
- 2:31:49Speaker 2: It'd be like offering a kid like whatever you want
- 2:31:52Speaker 2: for dinner, you know, at the AAA, and then it's pizza, pizza, pizza, burger, burger, burger.
- 2:31:56Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, the kids, you know, one hundred
- 2:31:58Speaker 2: pounds overweight, and you say, well, that's that's what happens
- 2:32:01Speaker 2: when you only eat that. I mean, it's that kind
- 2:32:03Speaker 2: of thing, like you wonder if it can I tell you,
- 2:32:06Speaker 2: I wonder.
- 2:32:07Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 2:32:08Speaker 2: I don't know how it's going to really affect. But
- 2:32:09Speaker 2: I'm but the mayors and all these city leaders are
- 2:32:12Speaker 2: saying kind of the same thing, and they're not all
- 2:32:14Speaker 2: scammers this.
- 2:32:15Speaker 7: Show, and right, we don't exactly know. That's why I'm
- 2:32:19Speaker 7: looking forward to the argument and the debate over the
- 2:32:22Speaker 7: next several months.
- 2:32:23Speaker 2: Are actually just resent me an email saying that he
- 2:32:25Speaker 2: reached out to the Ovido mayor. I'm emailing her tonight.
