7:27
Speaker 2: don't want to drop the business in here because I

11:07
Speaker 2: things in and for our community. What's happened?

Speaker 4: Yeah, we decided this year that we're gonna just give
11:16
Speaker 4: away some bicycles to a bunch of kids. Yeah, just
11:19
Speaker 4: get kids outside, get them active again.
11:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know so important. Yeah. Did you have a
11:25
Speaker 2: bike when you're a little kid? I did ripping around.
11:27
Speaker 4: Oh you know my baseball cards I ruined just because
11:29
Speaker 4: I stuck them in the back wheel. And now I'm thinking,
11:32
Speaker 4: you know, them could have been million dollar cards.
11:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. That was however many years ago. Yeah, wow,
11:39
Speaker 2: years So you you guys went out and with your
11:42
Speaker 2: own money, pulled it together and bought how many bicycles?
11:47
Speaker 2: First it was like ten, right.
11:49
Speaker 4: We were thinking ten, and then after we all sat
11:53
Speaker 4: and talked about it, we ended up with twenty two bicycles.
11:57
Speaker 4: Twenty two aging from the no pedal bikes up to
12:01
Speaker 4: a twenty inch bicycle.
12:02
Speaker 2: Dude, that's fantastic. And then you're gonna you're gonna get
12:06
Speaker 2: all these bikes together and you're gonna bring them over
12:09
Speaker 2: to Summer Street Tavern, which is literally right behind us,
12:13
Speaker 2: directly behind where you're sitting right now here on North
12:17
Speaker 2: Mean Street. But they're on Summer Street, and what are
12:20
Speaker 2: you going to do with them?
12:21
Speaker 4: We're giving a little raffle ticket to any kid that
12:25
Speaker 4: wants to come over, and they're gonna put it in
12:27
Speaker 4: whichever bag they want for the bicycle that they want,
12:29
Speaker 4: and then you know, we'll be there all day. They
12:32
Speaker 4: come in throughout the whole day and they have to
12:34
Speaker 4: be present for the drawing at five o'clock. Five o'clock
12:38
Speaker 4: when the ticket gets pulled, they get the bicycle.
12:40
Speaker 2: On Saturday, July twenty fifth. All right, so one raffle
12:45
Speaker 2: ticket per kit.
12:46
Speaker 4: Per kit, and they put it in the bag for
12:48
Speaker 4: the bicycle that they want to raffle on.
12:50
Speaker 2: All right, and then you're pulling names out.
12:53
Speaker 4: Five o'clock is the clock is when we start.
12:56
Speaker 2: All right? And each kid not only do they win
13:01
Speaker 2: that I love this, not only do they win the bicycle,
13:04
Speaker 2: but you're going to give them a helmet too. Yep, yeah,
13:07
Speaker 2: you got to give them a helmet too.
13:09
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, it's not just about fun, it's
13:11
Speaker 4: also about safety, you know.
13:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, that's so great, dude.
13:15
Speaker 4: We partnered up with Gifford Medical Center up here in
13:18
Speaker 4: Berlin and work to deal with them, and they're supplying
13:22
Speaker 4: the helmets and they're going to fit every child for
13:25
Speaker 4: the correct size. So if you win a bicycle, we'll
13:28
Speaker 4: give you the certificate and you go up there and
13:31
Speaker 4: present them with the certificate and they'll fit you to
13:33
Speaker 4: make sure you have a helmet that fits you correctly.
13:35
Speaker 2: So was so it was you that went up to
13:38
Speaker 2: Gifford and said, hey, can you help out here?
13:41
Speaker 4: Yeah? Because I spent a month looking police departments, sheriff's departments, dots,
13:48
Speaker 4: State of Vermont you know, community centers trying to find
13:51
Speaker 4: anybody who would help donate helmets, and nobody does that
13:54
Speaker 4: anymore since COVID. So I was talking with a friend
13:59
Speaker 4: and Tino over at Summer Street and she had mentioned
14:03
Speaker 4: that Gifford sells helmets. So I went up there and
14:06
Speaker 4: talked to them, and.
14:09
Speaker 2: They know what you're doing.
14:10
Speaker 4: We bought twenty two helmets and they have a list
14:13
Speaker 4: of twenty two helmets and when you present the certificate,
14:16
Speaker 4: they fit you for a helmet.
14:19
Speaker 2: Dude, that's so great. Wow, what kinds of trouble did
14:23
Speaker 2: you get into on your bicycle? Were you out past
14:28
Speaker 2: curfew on the bike?
14:30
Speaker 4: No? Our care for you back then was when the
14:32
Speaker 4: street lights came on.
14:33
Speaker 2: Oh you're an old fellow, like, yeah, yeah.
14:36
Speaker 4: We didn't have to be told when to come in.
14:38
Speaker 4: We knew when the streetlights came on that meant we
14:40
Speaker 4: were inside, okay, all right. And they didn't have cameras
14:44
Speaker 4: on cell phones and everywhere back then, So there's no
14:47
Speaker 4: proof of anything.
14:48
Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting that any kid that gets a bicycle
14:54
Speaker 2: does what I did, which was you know, back in
14:58
Speaker 2: the in late seventies, Evil Canieval was huge.
15:04
Speaker 4: He was everybody's hero.
15:06
Speaker 2: Everybody's and you could get the little the little plastic
15:12
Speaker 2: evil CANIEVL toy with the motorcycle. Yeah. Yeah, there's a
15:18
Speaker 2: similar one in Toy Story five. I can't think of
15:21
Speaker 2: the guy, you know who I'm talking about. Everyone's seen
15:24
Speaker 2: Toy Story. But man, it's like we just there was
15:28
Speaker 2: a there was a car that was parked on on
15:32
Speaker 2: the road that I was living on, which was of
15:33
Speaker 2: course a down hill, and this car was just like
15:37
Speaker 2: there all the time, and it was a time. I
15:39
Speaker 2: think it was like I think it was a Chevy
15:42
Speaker 2: Chavette small and we were just like, you know, we're
15:45
Speaker 2: bored riding around the neighborhood on their hundred bikes. Got
15:49
Speaker 2: we got to jump this car. Who's going to do it?
15:52
Speaker 2: So I volunteered. We took a four by eight sheet
15:55
Speaker 2: of plywood and a big trash can and set up
16:00
Speaker 2: a couple of center blocks to weight things down so
16:02
Speaker 2: that it wouldn't shift. And then we had, uh it
16:06
Speaker 2: was the fall. We had raked a huge pile of
16:09
Speaker 2: leaves on the the other side of the car is
16:12
Speaker 2: the landing pad. Uh, and I hit the back of
16:17
Speaker 2: this thing. The four by eight sheet slid out. I
16:20
Speaker 2: hit the back of the car, broke my leg. Mom
16:23
Speaker 2: was pissed, But you were trying to be safe. I
16:28
Speaker 2: had a helmet on and the leaves you have to
16:33
Speaker 2: have a safe.
16:34
Speaker 4: Landing path, whether you hit it or not. You were
16:36
Speaker 4: thinking safety.
16:37
Speaker 2: And I had my helmet on. I did break my leg,
16:40
Speaker 2: shattered the kneecap though. Yeah, Mom was ticked. And those
16:45
Speaker 2: were back in the days when when you went to
16:47
Speaker 2: the UH to the er, when you got a cast,
16:51
Speaker 2: it was plaster, plaster cast all for the rest of
16:57
Speaker 2: the rest.
16:58
Speaker 4: Of the summer. Your summer was over at that point.
17:02
Speaker 4: No water.
17:04
Speaker 2: So that's great that you're throwing in the helmets. This
17:08
Speaker 2: is wonderful. Twenty two bicycles. What age group are we
17:12
Speaker 2: talking about here?
17:13
Speaker 4: For we figured it's probably from three to ten, okay,
17:17
Speaker 4: the normal age group. I mean it's the non pedal bike,
17:20
Speaker 4: a little push bike, things up to twenty inch or so. Yeah,
17:24
Speaker 4: you know, if they're eleven or twelve, we'll probably let
17:27
Speaker 4: them slide.
17:28
Speaker 2: But yeah, now, if here's the thing, and we've talked
17:33
Speaker 2: about this, there's only twenty two bikes, Yep, we're gonna
17:38
Speaker 2: get a lot of kids that are going to be
17:40
Speaker 2: signed up to win. They're not all going to win. Unfortunately,
17:44
Speaker 2: there's only twenty two bikes. What do we say to
17:49
Speaker 2: the kids that don't? Do? We say try next year?
17:52
Speaker 2: In other words, is what I'm trying to ask is
17:55
Speaker 2: is this going to be an annual thing.
17:57
Speaker 4: We're hoping to make this an annual thing, and we're
17:59
Speaker 4: hoping that every year we might gain extra partners to
18:03
Speaker 4: come in and you know, do fifty bikes. You know,
18:06
Speaker 4: just keep growing every year. If it pans out great
18:10
Speaker 4: this year, maybe we'll keep expanding.
18:13
Speaker 2: All right, doesn't cost anything to.
18:17
Speaker 4: Not a penny. Not a costs a little bit of time.
18:20
Speaker 4: Come over and get your ticket, put it in the bag,
18:23
Speaker 4: and make sure you're here at five. You do have
18:25
Speaker 4: to be present. If your ticket's pulled and you're not here,
18:28
Speaker 4: they're gonna pull another ticket. Okay, because you're you're walking
18:31
Speaker 4: out of here with a bike. We're not chasing anybody
18:33
Speaker 4: down to get it.
18:34
Speaker 2: So whatever bike you you choose, you put your your
18:38
Speaker 2: ticket in that. There's what you're gonna have, like a
18:40
Speaker 2: little bag or something.
18:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna have little bags and you put your
18:43
Speaker 4: ticket in the bag and then we'll just when five
18:47
Speaker 4: o'clock rolls around, we'll pick up all the bags and
18:49
Speaker 4: we'll just start drawing tickets out of each bag.
18:51
Speaker 2: All right, Is this the first time that Iron Order's
18:54
Speaker 2: done something like that?
18:55
Speaker 4: The Vermont chapter, Yes, okay, this is our first annual Son.
19:02
Speaker 2: Order has done this before.
19:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, around the country, we've seen it before.
19:06
Speaker 2: Yeah. Rex is saying Hell's Angels started this in California
19:10
Speaker 2: million years ago. Probably. Yeah.
19:12
Speaker 4: Wow, it's just giving back to the community. Every MC
19:15
Speaker 4: does it. They try giving back to the community, and
19:17
Speaker 4: that's what that's what it's all about, was giving back.
19:20
Speaker 2: So there was something else that I saw that you
19:22
Speaker 2: guys should do it. I just saw it yesterday on Facebook.
19:26
Speaker 4: Our D's Ride we do. We do a ride every
19:28
Speaker 4: year for somebody with cancer and raise money for him. Okay,
19:33
Speaker 4: we just get together to raise money kind of like
19:36
Speaker 4: kind of like the Bikers for Beth.
19:37
Speaker 2: It's just yeah, something else too. I saw something else too.
19:41
Speaker 2: It was D's Ride, and then there was something else
19:43
Speaker 2: too with a date that has yet to be determined. Uh,
19:49
Speaker 2: saw it over the weekend. I don't know, but you
19:52
Speaker 2: I know that you guys are busy and you're doing
19:53
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. Yeah, so very potentially could be
19:59
Speaker 2: turning into to an annual thing.
20:01
Speaker 4: It could be I'm not gonna say yes or no
20:02
Speaker 4: because it's not my decision. But if it goes well,
20:05
Speaker 4: I don't see why wouldn't we why we wouldn't continue
20:07
Speaker 4: to do it?
20:07
Speaker 2: Because Okay, wow, Summer Street Tavern. Thanks to Summer Street
20:14

24:39

24:43
Speaker 2: So can you tell us, Chuck, what happened over at
24:48
Speaker 2: Rude Pond? You know, we started out this morning giving
24:52
Speaker 2: a huge shout out to our first responders, police, fire,
24:58
Speaker 2: all first responders who were out working working on the pan. Yes,
25:04
Speaker 2: what what happened over at Route Pond in Williamstown?
25:07
Speaker 3: Well, so yesterday the other half and I decide we're
25:10
Speaker 3: gonna go do something. So we go out to first
25:12
Speaker 3: we go to floating bridge and uh, a bunch of
25:16
Speaker 3: bikers showed up, so I got a little cramped. So
25:19
Speaker 3: we ended up over at h at the route pond
25:24
Speaker 3: and great day. Everybody's out on the floaties. Everybody. Everybody's
25:29
Speaker 3: on the floaties, everybody's on the kayak, a little fishing.
25:32
Speaker 3: Great day. And then all of a sudden, this gentleman
25:35
Speaker 3: rolls up four f one fifty with a boat from
25:39
Speaker 3: the seventies on the back. Besides, I guess he's gonna
25:44
Speaker 3: he's gonna bring that boat in that pond, which I
25:46
Speaker 3: don't know if that pond for that it gets small
25:50
Speaker 3: motors only.
25:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really small pond.
25:53
Speaker 3: Yeah. Really, the guy would have disrupted the whole day.
25:56
Speaker 3: I mean, it would have really sent some people flying him.
25:59
Speaker 3: Music boat in there right with the waves and stuff.
26:03
Speaker 3: So so he decides that he's gonna he's gonna back
26:07
Speaker 3: in and he's gonna unload his boat.
26:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
26:10
Speaker 3: I don't know his story on what he was doing
26:12
Speaker 3: when he was just testing it to see if it floats,
26:14
Speaker 3: I don't know, but he was by himself. He was
26:18
Speaker 3: unloading the boat, and then at some point he must
26:21
Speaker 3: have accidentally put it in reverse and he held the
26:27
Speaker 3: truck apparently, but he was in the back, and then
26:29
Speaker 3: all of a sudden it started rolling, and by the
26:33
Speaker 3: time he realized what was going on, it was too late.
26:36
Speaker 3: He jumped, tried to get in and pushed the brake,
26:38
Speaker 3: but it was too late, all right, and the old truck,
26:42
Speaker 3: trailer and all went down fully submerged the truck. That
26:49
Speaker 3: was the story.
26:49
Speaker 2: You still hear me, I can, I'm yeah, I'm showing
26:52
Speaker 2: the picture on the Yeah, okay.
26:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not. I'm not up. I can't see it,
26:57
Speaker 3: but yeah, yeah, it was. It was crazy. Yeah, I
27:02
Speaker 3: don't know what he was thinking, but yeah, it was.
27:06
Speaker 3: It was. It was interesting.
27:09
Speaker 2: Okay, So this wasn't like someone that you were with,
27:14
Speaker 2: that you're that you're a friend of.
27:15
Speaker 3: No, No, this is some guy that just showed up.
27:17
Speaker 3: I'm assuming he's from the local area. I don't know,
27:20
Speaker 3: I've never met you. A young guy, probably in his
27:22
Speaker 3: early twenties, okay, in his full redneck glory. But yeah,
27:29
Speaker 3: I don't really know what was the plan. He wasn't
27:32
Speaker 3: even wearing fish, he wasn't even in swimming gear. He
27:35
Speaker 3: was in full boots, and so I don't really know
27:39
Speaker 3: what the plan was.
27:40
Speaker 2: Did the boat sink?
27:42
Speaker 3: No, boat, boat, fine, it almost drifted off. We had
27:45
Speaker 3: to get the boat and pull it to shore because
27:47
Speaker 3: it was drifting off. But yeah, the boat worked great.
27:52
Speaker 2: All right, So the boat worked great. But the truck
27:55
Speaker 2: didn't float.
27:57
Speaker 3: No, truck didn't float. Nope. So so they, of course
28:01
Speaker 3: they're yelling at me. And you know, I got an
28:03
Speaker 3: old Ford. I don't have the tires to pull something
28:06
Speaker 3: like that out of a pond. I wasn't really reilant
28:09
Speaker 3: to wreck my truck.
28:10
Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of weight in there that would Yeah,
28:13
Speaker 2: that would pull down on the transmission pretty well, I'm guessing.
28:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, some gentlemen in a New Tacoma, believe it or not,
28:21
Speaker 3: did it just fine. I mean you could hear that
28:23
Speaker 3: transmission working. But he pulled it out. I couldn't believe it.
28:30
Speaker 3: I weren't gonna do it.
28:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he got it out. But hopefully his transmission
28:36
Speaker 2: will stay alive for another couple of months.
28:39
Speaker 3: Oh, it was screaming. It was screaming, and it took
28:42
Speaker 3: your time. Had it low and they were very gentle,
28:46
Speaker 3: but you could hear it was working for sure. I'm
28:49
Speaker 3: sure he took some life off of it.
28:52
Speaker 2: So there's another picture here that I'm going to show
28:55
Speaker 2: on the monitor right now, and it says this evening.
29:00
Speaker 2: This is from Williamstown. This evening, we responded to root
29:04
Speaker 2: Pond for an oil spill. Due to the size of
29:09
Speaker 2: the spill in our limited supply of cleanup materials, we
29:13
Speaker 2: had assistance from the Berlin Volunteer Fire Department to assist
29:16
Speaker 2: us in containing the spill. Clean Up crews have been
29:21
Speaker 2: notified and will be on the scene in the morning.
29:24
Speaker 2: Please avoid the boat launch and the pier until cleanup
29:30
Speaker 2: is complete, right.
29:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't want to be in the way. It's
29:34
Speaker 3: pretty cramped over there.
29:35
Speaker 2: And there's something in this picture that that you've notated.
29:42
Speaker 2: There's a red kayak in the background, and then to
29:45
Speaker 2: the left of it is something What is that, chuck?
29:49
Speaker 3: That is a committed fisherman right there right there in
29:53
Speaker 3: the background, My friend, that is committed. You don't care
30:00
Speaker 3: what's going down? Texting himself come back?
30:08
Speaker 2: So what that's awesome? How serious is this this oil
30:14
Speaker 2: spell here? Do we know there was.
30:16
Speaker 3: Some I mean I didn't see anything when I was there,
30:19
Speaker 3: I wasn't observing the situation, but I'm sure there's quite
30:24
Speaker 3: a bit that come out of the truck. But you know,
30:26
Speaker 3: I mean it wasn't huge, but enough to cause some
30:29
Speaker 3: environmental problems. Yeah, for sure, you can't just you know.
30:33
Speaker 3: And I was offering to call a tow truck, but
30:35
Speaker 3: he didn't want to. I'm sure he had to eventually,
30:38
Speaker 3: because I don't know how he got the truck out
30:40
Speaker 3: of there. It wasn't moving.
30:42
Speaker 2: I hope, yeah, I hope everybody's okay, Yeah, that's fine.
30:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he was fine. There was no problems, no injuries.
30:53
Speaker 3: It was just a miss a bad call. I mean,
30:56
Speaker 3: I guarantee that kid learned a lesson. And apparently he
31:00
Speaker 3: had some troubles earlier that week too, So yeah, I
31:04
Speaker 3: feel bad for the guy.
31:06
Speaker 2: What was the What was the troubles earlier in the.
31:08
Speaker 3: Week, Well, apparently he had wrecked his bike. He had
31:12
Speaker 3: a bunch of scratches on him. We had thought he'd
31:14
Speaker 3: done during this whole fiasco, but apparently a week or
31:18
Speaker 3: so before that he had wrecked his bike and had
31:21
Speaker 3: a bunch of road rash. So this guy's summer's not
31:25
Speaker 3: starting out Tobet.
31:27
Speaker 2: No, it's not.
31:28
Speaker 3: No, I feel bad for him, and I've done it. Yeah,
31:31
Speaker 3: I mean I've had my truck. I was at Portland
31:33
Speaker 3: Glass and had some you know, knick knacks around my shifter.
31:38
Speaker 3: Thought it was in part and I didn't push it
31:41
Speaker 3: all the way up and it rolled over the bank.
31:43
Speaker 3: I got luckily and it just drifted off into the
31:45
Speaker 3: parking lot. But it happens. I mean, no matter how
31:49
Speaker 3: safe you are and how much experience you have, you know,
31:52
Speaker 3: yea happens when you're rushing, you know, and you should
31:55
Speaker 3: never do things like that by yourself. I've learned when
31:58
Speaker 3: you when you're doing that kind of stuff.
32:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
32:02
Speaker 3: You, Yeah, that would have never happened if somebody was
32:06
Speaker 3: in if there was two people.
32:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you've been with me when I've launched my
32:10
Speaker 2: boat and it's it's almost easier. And I'm just being honest,
32:14
Speaker 2: it's almost easier without you, Chuck.
32:17
Speaker 3: So thank you. Yeah. I'm not good for at least
32:21
Speaker 3: I like, hey, hey wait, it's rolling. Your match box
32:25
Speaker 3: is rolling. I think I'm pretty good at that, right.
32:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dwayne's commenting here, I'd be willing to bet that
32:32
Speaker 2: he backed in too far. And had ball tires. Boat
32:35
Speaker 2: ramps are always slimy. I listen, We've all made very
32:41
Speaker 2: bad decisions. I made one that turned out to be okay,
32:47
Speaker 2: I lucked out. But I you know, before I had
32:50
Speaker 2: my new pickup, I took my seventy six three on
32:53
Speaker 2: the tree, you know, and had and try to launch
32:59
Speaker 2: my boat uh into uh lake fairly.
33:04
Speaker 3: Yeah that goal.
33:05
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I kept stalling out when I was trying.
33:09
Speaker 2: When I was trying to pull out, and every time
33:11
Speaker 2: you stall out, you know, that pull up method never works.
33:18
Speaker 2: It doesn't And and I and I would drift back
33:23
Speaker 2: like two feet every time, you know, the those.
33:26
Speaker 3: Cold by yourself, by yourself.
33:30
Speaker 2: I wasn't. I was Sherilyn was outside of the truck
33:33
Speaker 2: standing there.
33:34
Speaker 3: You had somebody there watching.
33:37
Speaker 2: She was doing nothing but watching and staring and sweating
33:41
Speaker 2: with a panic look on her face, which distracted me
33:44
Speaker 2: and made it even worse.
33:46
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, but at least somebody was there to say, hey,
33:49
Speaker 3: your truck is rolling, you better stop and slow down.
33:52
Speaker 2: And I knew that it was rolling, it would stall out.
33:55
Speaker 2: I'd be two feet back, closer to the water. And
33:58
Speaker 2: I literally got down the fact where I was like
34:01
Speaker 2: maybe two feet away from that green slime.
34:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's what's it hits you. That's it.
34:07
Speaker 2: You're done, it's over, and that's this is an old
34:10
Speaker 2: rare wheel drive F one hundred.
34:13
Speaker 3: Yeah. You no business doing what you're doing. Yeah, just
34:16
Speaker 3: like this guy, you had no business doing that. Yeah. Correct,
34:20
Speaker 3: You're lucky, but lucky, but could have been at the
34:23
Speaker 3: bottom of that pond.
34:24
Speaker 2: I agree, But then again, it was, you know, eighty
34:27
Speaker 2: five degrees in Sonny, I got the family. We're putting
34:30
Speaker 2: the boat in the water.
34:31
Speaker 1: Chuck.
34:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're doing it.
34:32
Speaker 2: Don't matter, we're doing it.
34:33
Speaker 3: I ship up sweating my balls off to not bring
34:38
Speaker 3: the boat in the water.
34:39
Speaker 2: We're doing it exactly. But it was that, It was
34:43
Speaker 2: that last try. I had one last try, and I
34:47
Speaker 2: rode that clutch and it smelled for a week and
34:51
Speaker 2: and I barely just I got it out of there.
34:53
Speaker 2: The sweat was stinging my eyeballs bad. Yeah, stretch, not
35:01
Speaker 2: worth it, I was.
35:02
Speaker 3: I was, Yeah, it ain't worth it.
35:03
Speaker 4: No.
35:04
Speaker 3: I got my little kayak good enough for me. I
35:07
Speaker 3: need a motor. I'll get a little trolling motor. Throw
35:09
Speaker 3: on the side of it me. I don't need to
35:10
Speaker 3: boat it's too much stresh bro.
35:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it was.
35:16
Speaker 3: It was comical tho. I don't want to I don't
35:18
Speaker 3: want to poke on at the guy. I really don't
35:20
Speaker 3: because we've been down that road. But there was other
35:22
Speaker 3: things that was factoring for the day that was kind
35:25
Speaker 3: of comical. It was definitely a redneck moment. Yeah, for sure,
35:31
Speaker 3: for sure all the way around. There's other things that
35:33
Speaker 3: were just unbelievable. Thank you, and I don't want to
35:37
Speaker 3: bash anybody.
35:38
Speaker 2: Thank you for uh for clearing the air on this
35:41
Speaker 2: chuck and telling us all about what happened.
35:43
Speaker 3: Oh, it was great. It was. It was definitely a
35:45
Speaker 3: highlight to my weekend.
35:46
Speaker 2: Yeah.
35:47
Speaker 3: I mean again, I feel for the guy. I don't
35:49
Speaker 3: want bad commerce, so I'm not gonna mess and pick
35:51
Speaker 3: on the dude, right, But I don't know what the
35:54
Speaker 3: heck he was thinking.
35:56
Speaker 2: Well, we've all done it. I don't. I don't know
36:00
Speaker 2: what the heck I was thinking either, So we've all
36:02
Speaker 2: been there.
36:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he didn't have a family or he was
36:05
Speaker 3: by himself, him and his sister. I don't know what
36:09
Speaker 3: that was all about, but yeah, it was definitely interesting.

36:15
Speaker 2: truck have one of those permanent paper license plates?
36:20
Speaker 3: No? No, no paper license plate on the front. I
