- 8:35Speaker 1: it was it was it was, happy it was energeticche
- 8:40Speaker 1: it but you know, what it was the nineties and
- 8:43Speaker 1: we were. Different and then there was an event and

- 9:14Speaker 1: know the food vendors were out there and it was
- 9:17Speaker 1: just it was. Wonderful what brought coming home to a
- 9:21Speaker 1: stop pales in comparison to the kind of stuff we're seeing.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Today that was nothing compared to the stuff we're seeing,
- 9:33Speaker 1: Today and for all of the events that are going
- 9:38Speaker 1: to be going on in all of the communities around

- 9:58Speaker 1: well it'll never happen here and you're just gonna go do,
- 10:01Speaker 1: stuff or if you are maybe a bit taken aback
- 10:06Speaker 1: by what we're seeing and reconsidering what you're going to

- 10:34Speaker 1: Forth if this seems to be a continuous, trend it's
- 10:39Speaker 1: it's gonna have a serious influence on what DECISIONS i
- 10:41Speaker 1: make about What i'm going to, do And i'm sad
- 10:45Speaker 1: about that, because if you will, recall just a couple
- 10:47Speaker 1: of weeks, AGO i was talking about how EXCITED i,

- 12:05Speaker 1: manager stepped in and pushed her, back and she hit

- 12:52Speaker 1: It you get you get TikTok famous as what you. Get,
- 12:55Speaker 1: OH i, think, HONESTLY i think that has a lot
- 12:58Speaker 1: to do with. It it's not that you're attempting to
- 13:02Speaker 1: make any social statement or accomplish any great. Goal it's
- 13:05Speaker 1: just that you want to get TikTok. Famous, ooh it's
- 13:08Speaker 1: been shared twenty thousand. Times look at That i'm. Famous,
- 13:11Speaker 1: no you're an idiot just because you and a couple
- 13:15Speaker 1: of your friends went in and jumped the counter At
- 13:18Speaker 1: popeyes and started stealing chicken and beating up the. Employees
- 13:23Speaker 1: that doesn't make you. Special it just makes you an.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Idiot But i'm concerned that the idiot factor is getting very,
- 13:32Speaker 1: high and it's multiplying LIKE covid wishes it could have.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Multiplied AND i don't want to see such a wonderful
- 13:43Speaker 1: opportunity to celebrate in this country diminished by Stupid or
