  Speaker 6: and Traus's brother. We went out all up there to Burlington,
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: and they don't they don't tell you the room. There's
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: no police escorre there. You're just winging it pretty much.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: If you know Burlington, great, but if you don't, then

  Speaker 6: you know you're in trouble. So anyways, we got on

  Speaker 6: the root and ten minutes into it, my grandchildren are hungry.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: So we're like walky talking back to everybody, saying, you know,
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: these guys are hungry. We need to turn around. We
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: get to a U turn and we turned around and
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: every jeep behind us followed us. The buffalo wild wings.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: They were madder than a dickens. So I said, you
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: know what, I'm never going to do this up here.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: Why don't we bring it to Barry. And I've brought
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: it here for the last years and I've gotten between
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: twenty to thirty jeeps and it's been pretty fun. So
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: we just go from the Berlin Mall.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: It's the old toy run route. We go up over
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Blue Crossblu Shields, down.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: By Hannaford's, down into Berry Berry Montpillier Road and end.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Up in Montpelier.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: And I just started adding in the last last year,
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: I just asked everybody if they could bring in an
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: unwrapped gift, doesn't have to be anything, you know, big,
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: and then I just donated to the Very City Police
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: Department who escorts us, which is wonderful.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's so cool that Berry City PD does that.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: That's that's awesome, man awesome.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: After for Larry step right up said absolutely, I'll do it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: So it's been good.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: You know, at least we have an escort so we
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: can stop traffic. And I think last year Berlin jumped
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: in and helped escort when we got to I think
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: Montpellier or Berlin something like that.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so it's grown, it's getting bigger, I.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Hope, so I want it.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: I mean each year we get a couple more, you know.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: But so tomorrow night six pm, I think, right, you said.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: Berlin, Mall, yeah, we'll leave about six, could be you know,
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: a couple of minutes after. It's hard to tell like
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: a time we'll be coming through because we never know
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: traffic or road conditions or just be patient.
• 13:19

• 15:20
  Speaker 6: she went in and bought a duck and put it
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: on or somebody put it on her geep, I guess,
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: and then that started it. From my understanding, she has
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: since passed away. But it's been going on for years.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: I guess, Wow, it's I love getting duck just because
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: there's so many and you never get I hardly ever
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: get the same one twice and they're just fun.

  Speaker 2: up a few more pictures of what's happening tomorrow night
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: for cheapness, really really cool. It has been a big
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: week here in Vermont, and especially a big week for
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: us in Berry. Lots lots to talk about. I'm sure
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: you've seen on the news. On Wednesday, the Agency of
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Commerce and Community Development announced a nearly fifty million dollars
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: check in disaster recovery funding for Washington and Lamoyle Counties.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Huge news for communities that are still rebuilding and still
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: healing from the twenty twenty three floods. Right here in Barry.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Part of that investment is headed to the Stevens Branch Apartments,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: a Downstreet Housing in ever North partnership that it's going
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: to create thirty one permanently affordable homes in the heart
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: of the city. When I say affordable, we have broken
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: down that word in great detail over the last couple
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: of weeks with Downstreet Housing on the air with Us
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: and off the air on Facebook. We have clearly defined
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: what that is, what that means. If you are not
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: down with that, please go back and re listen to
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: that episode with Downstreet Housing. Just what was last week?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: I can't remember. I think it was last week. The
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: project also includes major flood mitigation work, turning under used
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: city parking lots like this one on Seminary Street into
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: new housing. And of course what that does is is,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: in the end, hopefully I think most of us, most
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: of us would agree anyway, strengthens our resilience and gives
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: us what we need more than anything else. In addition
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: to boosting the grand list, this is big stuff. This
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: is big, big news. Prospect Heights project is also going
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: to be advancing as a result of this. This is
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: this long planned one hundred and twenty eight unit subdivision
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: that has been championed by Bury Area Development Core. This
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: gets the city right to the finish line on the
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: redesign and permitting needed to bring one hundred, nearly one
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: hundred new homes, single family duplexes and multi family units
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: to the Granite City. Really cool, and you know this
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: is gonna help people stay right here in our community.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: That's what we need, That's what we need. A lot
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Harrington avin Brook Street also going to be receiving support
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: as a result of this. This check it's big. Let's
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: try to be so grateful to Governor Scott the Vermont
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Community Development Board and the Vermont Community Development Program staff
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: for backing these projects ups' We've got to, I say, listen,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I know everyone's got an opinion about housing and this
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: and that and what's affordable it's not and everything. We've
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: got to try to see the silver lining here and
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: try to be positive. I don't know, I think it's fantastic.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I hope you do as well. We have had also
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: a pretty difficult week with the news here in Barry.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: And listen, I know that I do a lot of
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: joking around on the air, a lot of laughs, but
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of serious stuff that also needs to
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: be talked about. And we goof around for the sake
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: of our own mental health and trying to make you
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: smile or laugh out loud. But it's been a rough week.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Early Tuesday morning, we had a fifty one year old man,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: homeless guy here in Barry, who was found outside. He
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: had frozen to death overnight temperatures dipped to around fifteen
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: below zero. This, this is a this is unacceptable. I
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: think most of us would agree. Test tailors with us
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: on the line. Test you there, good.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Morning, I share a good morning, JD.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: What a heartbreaking story and reminder to all of us
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: that no one should be left outside in this kind
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: of cold.
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: Ever, this is true, and thank you for having me
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: on today. You know, Richard.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Was getting in you know up.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Well too.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Give a little background.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: So I'm the Homelessness and Housing liaism for the City
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: of Barry and I'm here on a grant and so
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: it's not forever, but you know, it's been a really
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: great journey to work with all the churches and other
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: people in Burry, plus the service organizations, to really get
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: to have everybody get to know each other in working
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: on this issue of homelessness.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: So we've stood up a.
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: Warming center during the day from seven to ten am
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: Monday through Friday at the Church of the Good Shepherd,
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: and so that's that's a man by volunteers from all
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: the different churches. And it's so that we're in our
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: second year of doing this like this, and this is
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: since the pandemic. We used to do it before the pandemic.
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: It was very hearty, and so it's our second year.
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: Everybody gets to know each other and everybody gets to
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: know who our guests are at the warming center. And
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: Richard came from time to time, and so so it's
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: sad for all of us because it's it's a person
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: that we know, you know, not just this and you know,
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: not simply a person who you know is in the community,
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: but he's in our community. And so it's it's very sad.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and I just I just said on
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: the air, you know, it's that, you know that this
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: time of year, where there's so much going on, there's
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: so much going on, we're filled, our heads are filled
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: with with so much, whether it's joy, excitement, camaraderie, getting
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: together with people that we love, and hopefully a good
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: dose of laughter and and fun. And we we we
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: try real hard to bring that to people. But man,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, it's like when the camera
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: is off, the microphone is off. For for me, some
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: things really get under my skin. And this, this story
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: this week really bothered me, bothered me deeply. And last
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: night my my wife even said to me, She's like,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: what what's up? And I'm just like, man, the story
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: of this this guy who froze to death right here,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: like just just a short distance from where I'm sitting
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: right now, is really disturbing me. It's it's it's rent
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: in space in my head. I mean, I don't know, man,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: it's it's.
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: It's yeah, well, you know, there's the whole there, but
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: for the grace of God, isn't there you know, go
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: I you know that expression. So there's a little bit
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: of that probably mixed in with you know, we're.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: We're a country of abundance and why does this happen? Right?
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, So there's that and then you know, and then
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: the proximity is and it's and it's it's bothering a
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: lot of people because you know, we had we had
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: an overnight shelter, so we stand that up if it
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: gets to be around zero or the wind chill is
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: just you know, not tenable, and we wish we could
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: do more, but at least this, and we stand that
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: up at the very congregational Church mot Fulire has a shelter,
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: and then we have the Good Samaritan Haven, so you know,
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: those are the the places that people can go. And
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: then Good Samaritan has outreached people who are just scanning
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: everywhere everywhere they know to look for people, and they're
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: checking on where there might be campsites to see if
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: people have everything they need if they want to go
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: someplace else if they want, if they are just okay,
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: And then we have the police and are fire people
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: who who are also scanning areas and scanning them again
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: and looking for people. So it's so it's it's hard
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: on all of us to know that no matter how
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: much we make these efforts to help, when the temperatures
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: get lower, that's still.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: A tragedy can happen.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I've heard and I know you have that some sometimes
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: folks that are homeless, even when it's really intense with
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: the weather, that they still prefer to be in their
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: own environment where that where they're familiar.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, even if it's.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Like really really cold, they still prefer that. But what
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: I think the reason why we've got you on this
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: morning is just to promote the message of listen, man
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: if if if if it's you, or if it's someone
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: that you know that fits in this category, they like
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: they want to be where they're familiar, right that just
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: try try to have an impact on them to say, hey, listen,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: mm hmm, it's not yeah, it's not safe to to
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: fall asleep like this. There's a warm space that's availed.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I'll go, I'll go with you. We'll be together. Let's
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: just get through this one night, or this two nights,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: if there's if we get if we're getting a snap,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: and let's just go over to the very congregational church
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: with you know, you got what I think I think
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: you said twelve beds over there and correct the shelter
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: opens once once it hits zero, yeah, which you know.
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: And we and we're going to be working really hard,
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: even harder to get the word out. I think we
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: I know Richard knew because he actually was at the
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: Warming Center that morning, so we did.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: We did tell everybody there just.
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: You know, in case you didn't hear. We're just a
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: reminder we are going to be open tonight. I mean,
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: and that's the thing about having the Warming Center is
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: like I said, you know, building this community and trust
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: and you talk about joking around. We you know, I
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: invite you to come down some time Monday through Friday
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: from uh seven to ten am and just come, you know,
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: just come and hang out.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: We have coffee.
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: You know, we don't everybody's invited.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: This is at the Good Shepherd.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: This is a Good Shepherd.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty nine Washington Street. Yeah, I'll be there.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you'll love it.
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: And and you know, I mean there's people are having
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: you know that people are having issues, people are helping
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: each other out, Our volunteers are you know, people are
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: there's there's a there's no there, there's no line.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: It's very blurred.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: You know, you're you.
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: Might be in, you know, helping to make the coffee,
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: or you might be out, you know, talking to people.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: But everybody's doing it.
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: And and this is something that takes time and consistent, uh,
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: you know, consistently showing up.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: And so you know, my point being that.
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: You know, most people know it's safe to come to
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: the Congregational Church on a really cold night because they
• 33:10
  Speaker 8: already know.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: Who we are. Yeah, yeah, we're not strangers.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're getting a question here, just for clarification. Was
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: he refused a shelter. I don't. I don't. I think.
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: There's no shelter in central Vermont that has any kind
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: of philosophy of telling people they can't be there. And
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: in these coldest of times, Good Samaritan drops all of
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: their requirements for you know, whether a person has been
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: drinking or not. So they drop that during these times,
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: and and the churches certainly don't, they don't turning.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: But so nobody, nobody, he didn't.
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: There's no way he came to any of the shelters
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: because he would not have been refused.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think the you know, obviously is
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: some some some very basic rules for behavior, uh, you know,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: to be respectful to others. But like you said, I
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: mean even if even if you've had some some alcohol. Uh,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: this is this is not about judgment at all. This
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: is about it's not at all saving saving lives.
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: It's it's so cold people come in this so so
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: this is the scenario in our shelter.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: You know, we set up our.
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: Cuts and and have nice blankets with them, and we
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: have volunteers that have made some you know, beautiful hardy
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: stews and cast roles to eat, and so there's really
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: good food there. And so when people come down, and
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: people have been donating socks, and we can always use more.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: So it's been nice. We've only done.
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: This for two nights so far, but it's been nice
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: to welcome people say, come on in, take your boots off.
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: I'm going to give you a fresh pair of socks.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Wow, and just.
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: Come on in and you know, pick your bed and
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: put your stuff down, relax, and they get a bite
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: to eat. Thank goodness, they had the wherewithal to build
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: a shower. So actually for you know, Monday night, four
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: people took showers and they were so I called it
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: in like a lion out like a lamb. Yeah, he
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: mean really, you know, and they got to take showers
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: and just sleep. So people come in and they kind
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: of hang out, but you know, they really need to
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: be warm, they need to be fed, and they need
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: to sleep.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: And that's what happens the cold.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: The cold makes makes you tired. It SAPs the energy
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: right out of here.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: So seven pm to seven am is the over an shelter.
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and then of course when it becomes seven am,
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: they can come over to the Good Shepherd Church and
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: spend another three hours.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Till ten, Yeah, till ten for for for some warmth,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: some food, some conversation. And then in mont Pillier they've
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: got a cold weather shelter over there, kind of a
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: temporary location at the Trinity Church and that's from uh
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: six until eight or eight, all right, and then at
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: the and then at the Unitarian Church as well on
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Main Street.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, they're they're working really hard. Everything is about
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: this safe and sprinkled facility, and they're working really hard
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: to find, you know, where they can do this that
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: you know, the fire Marshal is going to agree to,
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: and it's going to be a good space for standing
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: up a shelter.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Andrea Standard is doing an outstanding job over there. You know.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I was chatting with Zach Hughes this morning and he
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: was like, we need some more test tailors in the world,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: is what he said to what he said to me.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: The community table and warming space over at the Trinity
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Church again, the daytime hours Monday through Thursday. I think
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: you said eight am to like four something like that. Yeah, okay,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: and then Friday.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: I think somebody you know, I do have an email
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: of the latest on that, and I've.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Got, you know, with with your permission, I can put
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: if obviously, with your permission, I would put your email
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: here in the in the comments so people could get
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: in touch with you, if that's.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Okay, I would like that.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I'll do I'm going to do that
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: here in a second. But Saint august In Church on
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Berry Street on Friday's only, which is today, they've got
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: a daytime shelter that's that's happening over there, this kind
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: of programming, this kind of messaging, and I know, I know,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: it's Friday. I know, we we we want to we
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: want to let loosen and let our guard down and
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: have some fun. But this kind of stuff is so critical. Man,
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: I don't care what else, Frankly is going on. This
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: this stuff, we're going to push harder than anything. And
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: if you ever call me tests, I'm gonna I'm going
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: to answer. I don't care, I don't care. Appreciate that,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: whether I'm live on the air or or not. Please,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I just interrupted, you know, But but it's so
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: important to me to make sure people understand all the
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: work that the library is doing on this on this front,
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: I mean, the reason why we're open only till ten
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: is because that's you know, because you know, we have
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: to get volunteers together for all of this, and and
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: then most people end up going over to the library
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: if they still need to be indoors in a place
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: that's warm.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: Sure, it's it's I'm glad. I mean, I'm glad.
• 39:25
  Speaker 8: When I walk in the library, I see I see
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: people I know, and they're hanging out reading books, doing
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: jigsaw puzzles and things like that. But you know, I
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: mean there are issues, uh with people that you know,
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: everybody has their thing, and so it's it's sometimes can
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: be I don't want to say overwhelming, because the library
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: is so much stronger.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: Than that, but you know, it's it takes up.
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: You know, a lot of their time to be working
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: with people who are simply looking for a place to
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: be warm and ya and stay versus there are other clientele.
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: And the thing is is that for the most part,
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: it seems like everything works out synergistically, that that people
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: who patronize the library, all the people who patronize the library,
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: you know, they have respect for each other. But there
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: are some people that say they won't. You know, they've
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: seen homeless people outside of the library, so they're not
• 40:32
  Speaker 8: going to walk in there with their children and and
• 40:34
  Speaker 8: it's and nothing could be farther from the truth that
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: that would be a danger to your child.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: But you know, you know, like.
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: There's there's certain you know, barriers, stereotypes and judgments there
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: that are tough, right, yeah, to watch when they're people,
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: you know, but also you know, you know, I think
• 40:59
  Speaker 8: you should if you have and had Kristin on from
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: the library. I think she would be a great guest
• 41:05
  Speaker 8: for you, you know, so you can talk about, you know,
• 41:08
  Speaker 8: how things are going there.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Sure, I consider that done. That'll that will definitely happen.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: And listen. You know, it's like as a parent when
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: you're if you're if you're heading over to the library
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: or whatever, and your your kid uh sees someone who
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: is either clearly homeless or may be homeless. Take that
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: opportunity to talk talk with your child and and have
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: an honest conversation with with them and explain to them
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: what this is and exactly you know, these are human beings.
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: Let's say hello, Just say hello, say.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Hello exactly exactly. Yeah, I mean these are these are
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: obvious obvious things here. I think I think the big
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: take away here is we want to make sure that
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: people understand that this information is out there. It should
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: be shared as much as possible. Yeah, take whatever whatever
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: is in your head, whatever your opinions are, and just
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: push them aside for a little bit and get this
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: information out there because these shelters, the bottom line is
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: they save lives. Yeah, especially on nights where we have
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: seen this, it has been an exceptionally early cold winter,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: if somebody needs help, if somebody needs a warm place
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: to stay, having this information at their at their knowledge
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: is critical.
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: It's critical, Yeah, it is critical.
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: And so I just you know, want to say, you're
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: putting my email is you know, te tailor at Berrycity

  Speaker 2: complete the survey. Interesting that I want to hear what
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: you have to say. So for those of you that
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: have said in the past, wow, my voice isn't being
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: heard here. It is right here. I'm going to try
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: to lighten it up with you here this morning as
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: we go out. Logan Loose is on every Saturday morning
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: talking sports right here, and this guy lives and breathes football. Well,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: good morning, Logan. How are you, buddy?
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Morning JD.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: How are we my brother here? It is Friday morning.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: I don't even know who won last night?
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: Are we talking basketball or football?
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: We're talking football Thursday night? Football? Who who won? Are
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: the chief Are the Chiefs still live?
• 49:31
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: So? The no, the chief No, the Chiefs are out.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Chiefs are cooked like they so at this.
• 49:36
  Speaker 7: Point, how the Chiefs have to win is they have
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: to play what we football players call the magic lottery ball.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: I'm just I just made that out.
• 49:43
  Speaker 7: That's bullshit anyway, but you know, seriousness though, in all
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: seriousness though, uh, there's it's it's it's called it's called
• 49:51
  Speaker 7: the it's called the like the guessing game of like.
• 49:55
  Speaker 7: They basically have to win every game they cannot of
• 49:58
  Speaker 7: at this point, they can't afford a lose. If they
• 50:01
  Speaker 7: lose one more time, they are absolutely out. So they
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: have to win out the rest of the year games
• 50:06
  Speaker 7: and then they have to bet on certain teams losing
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: and certain teams winning kind of thing they have. It's
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: it's like pure for them to get in at this
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: point is pure luck.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: Like it has to be like they have to win.
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: Every game, and teams like for example, like Buffalo, like
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: a bunch of AFC teams need to start losing like
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: so they can get a spot in.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: But right now it's looking unlikely.
• 50:31
  Speaker 7: But last night's game was the Falcons and the Buccaneers
• 50:34
  Speaker 7: where the Falcons beat the Buccaneers in a very close
• 50:37
  Speaker 7: contest twenty nine to twenty eight.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: That was a game I should have been watching, buddy,
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: damn it.
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 50:46
  Speaker 7: Kirk cut Yeah, Kirk Cousins thirty three for thirty three
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: completions out of forty four for three hundred and seventy
• 50:53
  Speaker 7: three yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions. Well, Baker Mayfield was
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: nineteen for thirty four or two hundred seventy seven yards,
• 51:02
  Speaker 7: two touchdowns and one interception. Yeah, just close combat, close quarters,
• 51:09
  Speaker 7: surprising with the Bucks. The Bucks are on a two
• 51:11
  Speaker 7: game losing streak. They've lost twice in a row now,
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: which is surprising.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: They were we just gotta.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: We just gotta comment here saying logan Philip Rivers yay
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: or nay.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: Oh as a Seahawks fan, no offense.
• 51:27
  Speaker 7: But I think I don't think he's gonna I don't
• 51:29
  Speaker 7: think he's gonna make it out of that Seahawks game.
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: I don't think he's gonna make it out a live
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: like he's he's So I feel bad for.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: Him because he's coming out of a five year retirement.
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: And he's playing against one of the top like five
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: defenses right now in the league, and they're all young dudes,
• 51:47
  Speaker 7: Like our team is very young. So it's a forty
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: four year old man like getting lined up against a
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: bunch of like twenty eight year olds, like fresh in
• 51:55
  Speaker 7: their prime, ready to just hit.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: Him, and he is not ready for it.
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: I don't think I think he's I think I think
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: Philip Rivers will do solid. I just I don't think
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: this is like I think this is a great like
• 52:08
  Speaker 7: replacement for Daniel Jones, But I don't think that Philip Rivers.
• 52:14
  Speaker 7: I feel like, Philip Rivers is gonna do what Marshawn
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: Lynch did when he came out of retirement, which is
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: everybody was so hyped for him to play and then
• 52:22
  Speaker 7: he did a grand total of twelve yards in three games.
• 52:27
  Speaker 7: So so let that like, let that sink in and
• 52:31
  Speaker 7: then look at Philip Rivers, who is forty four years old.
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: He hasn't played in five years. He is he is rusty,
• 52:38
  Speaker 7: like like, I don't know, I don't I don't know
• 52:40
  Speaker 7: what to expect. Am I am I excited that he's here, Yes,
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: but is he gonna be the person that I think
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: he's gonna be?
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: Probably not.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Dwayne is one Philip Rivers fan. Dan Alexander just says
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: if he doesn't get hit, he'll be okay, and also
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: that the Houston Texans have the best defense in the
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: lead now as well. So Becky says, go Army beat Navy. Wow,
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: lots of comments coming in this morning, but press.
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that's that's actually, that's a that's a big deal.
• 53:11
  Speaker 7: I want to talk about too, is like the Army
• 53:14
  Speaker 7: in the Navy game is crazy because there's like so
• 53:17
  Speaker 7: the helmets they're using this year are like expensive, fancy
• 53:22
  Speaker 7: like custom made helmets, like they're wearing these like crazy
• 53:26
  Speaker 7: looking helmets. You should pull up a picture if you can,
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: look up the Army versus Navy like new helmets. Like
• 53:31
  Speaker 7: there's a bunch of like the new helmets and they
• 53:34
  Speaker 7: look crazy, like they look really good.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: I'm excited to see how that game goes.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm pulling this up now, Uh, helmets? All right,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: what's what's the price tag on these things? Do you know?
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know the.
• 53:48
  Speaker 7: Exact price tag, but I saw something saying like maybe
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: roughly around like two to three thousand per helmet or
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: like something crazy like that, which is not surprising, especially
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: like college Like you know, those are expensive helmets, so
• 54:01
  Speaker 7: it's gotta be especially because like when I was like
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: a couple of years ago, like I love I don't
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: know if you've ever seen them, but Louisville, the Louisville
• 54:10
  Speaker 7: the reds or I don't know Louisville either way, they
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: have like these crazy like metallic all red helmets that
• 54:19
  Speaker 7: are like just insane looking.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: And I don't know, I feel like I feel like
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: the College League gets crazier looking.
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: Like helmets than the NFL does. Maybe that's a hot take.
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: But like I think the college like like they those kids,
• 54:32
  Speaker 7: they get like crazy custom helmets per year, like they do,
• 54:36
  Speaker 7: like they always do some kind of throwback or some
• 54:38
  Speaker 7: kind of different.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: Design and it's it's just wild. Yeah, it's wild to
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: see it.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll show it on the monitor right now.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: But I will say the one thing I will say
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: that is good.
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: So like Philip Rivers, like it's obviously an amazing quarterback
• 54:54
  Speaker 7: all time. But I will say though him coming to
• 54:56
  Speaker 7: the Colts though, with the Colts having a pretty actually
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: really solid o line this year, so like you know,
• 55:04
  Speaker 7: maybe he'll be fine, you know, But at the same time,
• 55:06
  Speaker 7: it's like his first game being against the Seahawks right now,
• 55:10
  Speaker 7: is definitely like it's definitely gonna be a tough battle
• 55:12
  Speaker 7: for him for his first game.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: Listen, man, the President, President Trump just uh just stirred
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: the sports pot again this this past weekend, uh, this
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: time over what we call football. He was speaking at
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: the FIFA event where he was getting the Peace Prize.
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he got the Peace Prize and was like given
• 55:43
  Speaker 7: a he was given like a trophy and like a
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: he got like a like a full on medal as well.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: He got like a medal and a trophy.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and of all things. He said that is
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: the real football and that the American version needs a
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: brand new name.
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: I did see that.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Now you know that my wife is British and we've
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: had some brutal fights about football versus football and who
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: properly owns the name football? That it that it that it,
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: it predates American football and and we we've had some
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: some knockdowns over this. But now we we've got Trump
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: saying that that we shouldn't be calling football in America
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: football anymore. We have to come up with another another
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: name for the quote NFL stuff end quote is what
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: he he said. Yeah, and this suggestions, the suggestions are
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: you have you seen some of the suggestions.
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: Well, I will say.
• 57:25
  Speaker 7: I will say, like I think, honestly, like for America,
• 57:29
  Speaker 7: like to be fair, we have been calling it soccer
• 57:32
  Speaker 7: for years, you like, especially because like in our schools,
• 57:37
  Speaker 7: like when we were growing up, Like when I was
• 57:38
  Speaker 7: a kid, I used to play soccer. And when I
• 57:41
  Speaker 7: played soccer, I was like five or six years old,
• 57:43
  Speaker 7: and I was in literally what they called soccer clubs.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: We literally had soccer clubs.
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: So I mean football in terms of soccer is like
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: everywhere else, but America generally calls it soccer because we
• 57:58
  Speaker 7: needed a different name because American football is obviously different.
• 58:04
  Speaker 7: Now I think I agree, because technically we call it football,
• 58:07
  Speaker 7: but ninety percent of it is with our with hands,
• 58:10
  Speaker 7: like the ball is in the hands of someone. Yeah,
• 58:12
  Speaker 7: so it definitely is like more time, more time than not.
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: The ball is spent like being thrown than it is kicked.
• 58:19
  Speaker 7: But at the same time, it's like it's the name
• 58:22
  Speaker 7: we did. We gave it back in like what the twenties,
• 58:25
  Speaker 7: like nineteen twenty when we like when the NFFELL officially debuted.
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: You know, we've been calling it that for years now.
• 58:32
  Speaker 7: I mean the Packers and the Bears were like one
• 58:34
  Speaker 7: of the very first franchises and they were both in
• 58:37
  Speaker 7: like what nineteen.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: Ninety eight or nineteen eighteen, nineteen nineteens.
• 58:40
  Speaker 7: That right, and so you know, long time yeah exactly
• 58:45
  Speaker 7: American Yeah exactly. American football has been around for well
• 58:47
  Speaker 7: over one hundred and five hundred and sixty years. So
• 58:50
  Speaker 7: we've been calling we've been calling it football for that long,
• 58:54
  Speaker 7: and so I think that we should just we should
• 58:57
  Speaker 7: just stick to our natural American values and just stick
• 58:59
  Speaker 7: with football and soccer.
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, obviously the rest of the world is
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: allowed to call it football, no one is. No one's
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: arguing it. Sure, but America. But America, like we like
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: as kids, we grew up with soccer. That was what
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: we called it.
• 59:13
  Speaker 7: A ball getting like with it has the like the
• 59:17
  Speaker 7: pattern the black and white patterns on it.
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: It's like we call it soccer. And like I see all.
• 59:21
  Speaker 7: The and it's funny because when I see professional soccer,
• 59:24
  Speaker 7: the ball is like a white color with like these
• 59:26
  Speaker 7: like weird colors on it, and I'm just like, why
• 59:29
  Speaker 7: isn't it like the actual soccer ball for like the
• 59:32
  Speaker 7: sports soccer is it the white with black like it's.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: Like, you know, hexagons, Like, why isn't that's interesting to me?
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: He Trump didn't say that he's gonna force the NFL
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: to do it if there's an executive order that comes
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: out on this, and it's just however, I mean my opinion, yeah,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: my opinion.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 7: My opinion is simply on it is like just like
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 7: how the Washington Commander fans want their name change back
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 7: to the Washington Redskins.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: I just don't think it's gonna happen. Like same with
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: changing the name, Like it's not gonna happen.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: You don't think it's gonna happen. But should it happen?
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: Should it happen?
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: Should it? I mean I don't.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 7: I don't think go ahead, I have to I have
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: to simply say that. I just think that as like
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 7: I think for America, like we can just call it
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 7: soccer because we've, like I said, we've been calling it
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 7: that for years.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, if they really want.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 7: To like change it, I think then the whole world
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 7: should like call it soccer too, because then it like
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 7: I don't know, I feel like it should either. You know,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 7: it's up to everybody's like opinion. But I guess, like
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 7: at the end of the day, it's like I still
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 7: think soccer is soccer.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, football football. It's like it's the same sport.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: And the reds are still and the Redskins are still
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: the Redskins.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 7: Well if they if they won't, yeah, they wish.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: Listen, man, we don't like change. We don't like change.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: If just leave leave well enough alone. The the the
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: internet went nuts with this When when when Trump said
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: this and the suggestions that I have found online for
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: replacing the word football here in America the serious contenders.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for this grid iron?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 7: Like football being changed, like the NFL being changed to
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 7: grid Say that again?
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: God, just the word the word football. Get not using
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: the word football on Thursday nights, we're watching grid Iron?
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah no, that's that's that's awful. That's awful. Here's here's
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: here's another everything that's terrible.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: These are the these are the everything. I agree, these
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: are some of the the the name ideas to get
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: rid of the word football, which is never gonna happen.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: But what what the hell's wrong with this world? You ready,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: here's the here's the new one. Pig skin.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 7: Okay, I I could sort of see it, but it
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 7: sounds stupid. It is like, I guess it's definitely better
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 7: than the first one, but it's like.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: Can you action saying, hey, hey, Logan, bring some wings?
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: Did you watch that? Did you watch.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: You watched that pig skin game last night?
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 7: Dude, Tom Brady is the greatest pig skin player of
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 7: all time.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. Uh. Others are saying that we need
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: to add the word tackle in front of football, or
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: the word American in front of the word football, which
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: no one, No one's gonna no one's ever going to
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 7: Well, we've kind of all like we you know, when
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 7: you go to other countries for example, like when I
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 7: went to Canada, for example, I was like talking to
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 7: some random guy at the bar about football, and he
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 7: kept saying he kept referring it to American football.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: So I feel like every I feel like places, other places.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 7: Already kind of already do that like that, I feel
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 7: like some places already kind of do that. But I
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 7: mean it is like, you know, we call it the
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: National Football League though, so like the thing is, if
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 7: we were to do that, we'd have to change the
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: NFL's name to the American Football Association. So the AFA,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 7: which I'm pretty sure was the original Yeah, I think
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 7: it was the original name for a long time.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: But yeah, wish they could do that again.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 7: But at the same time, it's like it's called national
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 7: because have you noticed we've been this year alone too,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 7: We went to like Berlin, Germany.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: They went to.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 7: Like Australia too, Like yeah, so we've been we've tooken
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 7: the NFL, you know, because you know, five years ago
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 7: it wasn't like that, you know, we weren't we weren't
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 7: really doing that much, like.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: We were doing it, but it wasn't happening that often.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 7: Now we are doing it, like where per year there's
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 7: at least one or two games played in like at
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: least six to eight different countries, and now we have
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 7: like we're expanding to the whole world, kind of like
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 7: what PIFA has been.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: Doing for years.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and so you know, it would be stupid to
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 7: call it the American Football League, especially if they decide to.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: Go because because they call it national.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 7: So it's like that would defeat the purpose of it
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 7: being called the National Football League.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, comments here the UK actually came up with the
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: name soccer. I'm going to look into that. Dan Alexander says,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: does it count if you have an ex soccer player
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: for your kicker because he's the best in the league
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: now too. Dan also says, go ahead, Well, there's a.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 7: Like, whoever said the comment about soccer was in the UK?
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 7: They're probably right, Like that's probably very possible. I don't
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 7: really know my history on soccer like that, but they're
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 7: probably right. There's like and if that's the case, then
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 7: but then if that's the case, then why do they
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 7: Why did the UK not adapt it to soccer.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: They still they still call it football. Yeah, still call
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: it football in the UK.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 7: So it's like, that defeats the purpose of you guys,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 7: defeats the purpose of you guys calling it that if
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 7: you are making the name or you know, claiming that
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 7: you made the name, if you're not going to use it.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: Uh. He also Dan also says he also said something
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: needs to be done with college football and Nick Saban
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: should be in charge of it too.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: That would be interesting, to say the least.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: And a beautiful, a beautiful comment here from from John
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: Kidder saying, again, beautifully, screw Tom Brady. Joe Montana is
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: the real goat that is.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very debatable, but I love I love Joe Montana.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 7: John, Joe Montana was really good. That's why I but
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 7: my but my problem here is like same with Steve Young.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 7: My problem here is I'm a Seahawks fan, so I.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: Can't like I can't. I can't like them as much
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: as I want to, I can't. I can't like a
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: player like that.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, No, But what I just I just got it.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: I just got a text here saying that the inevitable
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: renaming of football will be trump Ball.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 7: I will I will actually like move to a whole
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 7: other country.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: So I'm not even joking, like I would actually leave
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: this country.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: Bring all right, guys, yeah, bring it. Bring a couple
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: of beers over, let's watch some trump Ball tonight.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 7: I feel like that would just be like I I
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 7: don't you know, It's like it's everybody has their opinion
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 7: on the guy, but at the end of the day,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: it's like it's so egotistical to like do that, especially
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 7: like I've made I've made this clear for you even
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 7: like before you know, I said this for years.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: I just don't think politics should be in any form
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: of sport.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because it's it's like sports, Like I don't like
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 7: the ideas, like the sudden uprise of sports betting. I
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 7: don't like it, like I don't like politics. I don't
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 7: like gambling in like in my sports like it. It
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 7: really ruins the tradition of it being entertainment. It's it's
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 7: a sport, not a gambling scheme, not a not a
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 7: political win scheme. I mean to be fair, Before Trump
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 7: was considered a politic, or considered himself a politic, he
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 7: was in the WWE being an entertainer. So it's like,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 7: you know, same same thing. I get it, but I
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 7: just don't. I think I think entertainment to politician at
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 7: that point. Now that you're a politician, you need to
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 7: stay away from entertainment.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: One of these one of these days, I have to
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: get you in here. I need you on the couch
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: because I want to talk about Michael Francis and I
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: want to talk about sports gambling, and I want to
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: talk about his his and I think I shared that
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: link to you that that that gambling and fixed fixed
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: outcomes are everywhere. They're every every sport, everywhere.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 7: Well, like like this year alone, it was really bad,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 7: especially with like what happened with Terry Terry Rogier and
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 7: Chauncey Phillips with the whole mafia and like gambling scheme
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 7: and then you've got those two pictures are not pictures
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 7: but like players from the Guardians, Uh, they got caught
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 7: in a gambling scheme.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: And then there was another one.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 7: So there's been like three or four big ones alone
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 7: just in this year alone, and it's like see there,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: we're not even we we still got we still got
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 7: what we have about three or four more regular season
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 7: football games than the playoffs and the NBA just started.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 7: We're only we're only twenty games into like the eighty games.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 7: We still got sixty something more games left, so you know,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 7: there's still so much much time for like that stuff
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 7: to come out, and so, you know, so far, it's
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 7: been crazy.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you're if you're following this this stuff,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: but Joey Merlino, former American mobster, saying the Super Bowl
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: has already been determined the winner not surprised.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 7: I mean we've kind of we've kind of known that
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 7: for we've kind of known, like I mean, it's been
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 7: pretty obvious at least for the past three or four
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 7: years now that like the NFL, like for example, like
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 7: people have been noticing. Like now, it's not always true,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 7: but like when I see like the Super Bowl official logo,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 7: like when they announced official logo, you'll know because the
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 7: color the color schemes usually match up to the two
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: teams that are playing in the Super Bowl. So if
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 7: you pay attention to the actual colors, there's a chance
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 7: you'll notice a pattern or something and be like, oh,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 7: that looks like that's it's possibly this team.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: But like for example, like I think right now, Like.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 7: The Patriots like have a really good case of making it, do.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 7: I think they're Like I think they're gonna have a
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 7: hard time getting there because they have like they're gonna
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 7: have to play Buffalo, They're gonna have to play probably Baltimore,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 7: which Baltimore isn't amazing, but they're also kind of making
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 7: a comeback right now, like the like Lamar Jackson has
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 7: really brought the the Ravens back.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're gonna be talking about this tomorrow morning
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: right here, right oh god, yes.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 7: No, I'll be here tomorrow morning at ten thirty, less
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 7: than twenty four or just about twenty four hours from now,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 7: all right, I'll be there getting ready to chat with
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 7: you about We're not chat with you, but chat with
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 7: the people around.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, about what's going on.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: Everyone that's watching listening right now, please tune in tomorrow
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: morning at ten thirty. It's called athletics. It's Logan Loose,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: the host of it.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: I want to close out this morning with just some
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: of the other names that that I'm finding here to
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: possibly replace the word football in America. Here it is
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: Are you sitting down because I don't want you to
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: faint or anything and hit your head or anything local.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: All right, here we go, uh, here we go.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: The next the next possible replacement word would be hand
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: egg deep.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: Breaths, take a deep breaths. I'm sorry, let's come over
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: watch some hand egg.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: The next one hand egg, I guess because the football
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: looks like an egg.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: Who's toddler? Who's who's toddlers are making these?
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know? But but here's the thing. The argument
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: is that you know your football players, you only it
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: only connects with your foot just a little tiny bit.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: Most of its.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: Football is just American ball, which American.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: But they're like you, hardly ever your foot hardly ever
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: comes in contact with the ball, So why are you
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: people calling it football? The next word it was is
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: uh footsie, which I think the I think the I know,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: I know the Brits, I think the Brince call soccer
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: foot loc Why don't you get over the come over
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: the house tonight, locan will watch some foot see. The
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: next idea would be, uh, here it is Millionaire fight club.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: The next the next there's more fighting in hockey than
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: there is in football.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 7: Like that what like like there's more hand to hand
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 7: combat and hockey like that doesn't make any sense.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: The next word is end zone.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that honestly.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: That like I'm not gonna lie to you. Out of
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: everything I've heard from you today, like.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 7: That has to be like somewhat the most okayest one,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 7: Like I have to be like the least.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: It's not terrible. It's not terrible.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: The the the the next word is I'm not making
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: this up. The next word is yard ball, because who
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: needs the metric system?
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 7: So yeah, so for starters, you're not playing in your backyard.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 7: You're playing in a professional stadium that is made with
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 7: a fancy type of grass.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: It's not it's not someone's actual backyard.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 7: So you know, it's funny they say that because there
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 7: used to be when I was younger, like probably early
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 7: two thousands, there was this like video game series literally.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: Called Backyard Football.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 7: As the name implied, it was like it was supposed
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 7: to be like kind of like a football ish backyard vibe.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: It was weird. But either way, like that exists, and
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: like that alone was terrible, and it's like, now you
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: got no I like that. I don't. I don't know,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: It's not about that one the last but not least
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: name here is uh here, it is full contact chess.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 7: Just you should have stopped at full contact and I
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 7: think full contact would have been like least like awful,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 7: but yeah, full contact chest.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's order a pizza and come on over and
