  Speaker 3: Holy shit, thanks man.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: It's uh.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: It's been a decade I've done. I have a black
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: belt in Japanese jiu jitsu, I have a brown belt
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: in judo. I've trained taekwondo, akito local, akita kai, I've
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: done wrestling, boxing. But this is uh, I, dude, I've
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: sat my ass. There goes Brandon, he's on a mission.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: You know, I've sat what this belt? What does is?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: It's not a This belt doesn't mean that I can
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: beat up anybody in the world. A lot of people
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: are under that misconception that a belt, you know, will
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: determine what a badass you are, whether you're not. What
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: this belt shows people is my own dedication to an
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: art you know, I sat for fuck I started well,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I started Brazilian jiu jitsu in around two thousand and five,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: and Professor Sherman, who's a second degree black belt, we
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: were both white belts together, so twenty years ago I
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: actually started Brazilian jiu jitsu. I think I'm one of
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: the only people that ever quit Brazilian jiu jitsu to
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: go to taekwondo, damn fella. So then I did that
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: for like the next seven eight years and then ended
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: up finding my way back to Brazilian jiu jitsu Japanese
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: jiu jitsu. You know, I started out with grappling because
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: that's what I did. My father taught judo, so I
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: did judo under him. I wrestled, I did all that,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: and then you know I I I really wanted to
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: learn how to kick and stuff like that. So that was,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: you know, the the cool stuff, the flashy stuff. But
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: then I ended up just gravitating back to my natural sport,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: which is grappling.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Hang on, are you you're not?
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: No, I'm just shutting that down. So this has always
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: been my this has kind of been my life, damn.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: And so Lucas and Sean they're gonna present me with
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: my black belt. I'll be in it. I was a
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: provisional brown belt for two years that came off. I'm
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: no longer provisional, so I will be a ib JJF.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Wow. What time is this? Is this uh?
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Eleventh? Uh? They're doing this and I are from eleven
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: thirty to one. I don't know when. I know Will White,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: one of my one of my assistant instructors, he's getting
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: his brown belt, Ben Predy, he's getting his brown belt.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: There'll be a lot of promotions going on there.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: But if I want to be there for your black belt,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: what time do we have any idea? What time?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: That? Shit?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Don't okay, I don't. I asked Lucas Wednesday and he
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: doesn't know. So I know it starts at eleven thirty
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: and goes till one thirty. And I'm not. I don't
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: know when they're doing the belting. Obviously with my arm,

  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna have a few. It'll be fine, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: then I can as soon as you start drinking, you
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: lose inhibitions. You're like, oh, I'm fucking Daler and her
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna get back in behind that wheel. And

  Speaker 3: it's I'm telling you right now from experience. My wife

  Speaker 3: made me keep a picture of her brand new Audi
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Quatro that I sent through a telephone poll at over
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: one hundred miles an hour. She made me keep that
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: as a screen saver for years on her computer as
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: a reminder, Yeah, don't be a dumb ass like me.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Learn from my lessons. Don't make your own. I've it's
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: so and the worst part, it's so many thousands of dollars. Yeah,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: fighting it, whether you fight it or not, it's just
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: a mess. Look at that poor guy Kevin Bell, what
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: he has to do. It's costed him two thousand dollars
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: just to start and he didn't even blow the legal limit.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: It was bullshit.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I know I've done plenty of dumbass things in my life,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: but that's one thing that I've never done is.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Drink, dude, And I make such an ass out of
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: myself when I'm dreking. You don't have to be drunk
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: to me, no, but it intensifies so so it makes
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: it twice as bad the world. Yeah, good people.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: They posted this last night or yesterday. I should say,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: drinking and driving can change your life in just one shot.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: And I you know, even though I don't drink and drive,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I just took the time to read this last night.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: A drunk driver kills somebody approximately every forty eight minutes
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: worldwide or United States the United States. Think about that
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: even at a blood alcohol concentration BAC of You know
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: what we should do.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: We should call the National Guarden for the weekend of
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: point two percent. We'll take care of.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: It, which is as little as one drink. Think about that,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: zero point two percent. One drink can impair your ability
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: to multitask, as if you're not already distracted enough with
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: your goddamn cell phone.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I can't wait for all them automated Tesla cars. Those
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: are gonna be so much fun. There'll be a little
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: party buses.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: But you know, and as this as this says in
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the world, Uh, I'm I'm just reading this because it's
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: it's these words. I'm like, thank you to Gary and.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Kevin Bell his whole life in the instant from leaving
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: his work last week, getting on the interstate, trying to
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: hop on the interstate and having a homeless guy jump
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: out in front of his car. Yeah, just I mean,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: he is a little kid.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: He had one drink.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: He had one drink. He blew a point zero six
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: and when because he had just had the drink, then
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: they brought him to the station. They arrested him anyway,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: brought him to the station. He blew a point zero
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: five by the time and they still charged him, so
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: it cost him twenty five hundred dollars up front. He
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: just had a baby.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: There's there's just there's so many things I want to
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: talk about this morning, but listen, if we can just
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: have make a difference in someone's life here and make
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: them think twice, that's all that matters to me.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Just think. So that's like a huge thing that I've
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: started doing because I saw an interview about and it
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: was a bunch of prisoners and stuff like that, And
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: what happened was the interviewer asked them. They said, by
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: the time you decided to commit murder and the time
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: that you actually committed murder, how much time was in between,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: And they're like, thirty seconds I thought about it, I
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: did it. So they were like, if I had just
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: sat down for like five minutes and thought about it
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: and just actually thought about it before doing it, I
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: probably wouldn't be sitting in a prison. Interesting, So I've
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: taken that to heart. I really have. Before I say something,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to like not just emotionally respond to stuff,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: think about what I'm gonna say before I say it.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Don't risk your life or the life of someone else.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: And if you plan on drinking, plan ahead, choose a
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: designated driver, call a taxi, walk home, whatever you need
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: to do, and I want to read this in the
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: world here, and if.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: You're not, just make sure that you keep I don't know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: like five six thousand dollars cash on you to start
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: with your lawyer to get your bail out. That's just
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: your minimum and hopefully the case you didn't hit anybody, right,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: you didn't do anything.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: So just first first time.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just make sure you have a bunch of
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: cash to blow.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Drug impaired driving is a problem on America's highways. Like
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: drunk driving, drugged driving is impaired driving, which means it's
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: dangerous and illegal in every state, whether the drug is
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: legally possessed or illegal. Driving while drug impaired poses a
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: threat to the driver, passengers, and other road users, regardless
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: of Vermont law concerned learning possession and personal use of
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: small amounts of marijuana. Marijuana may impair your ability to
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: drive safely if you're impaired even the slightest degree, take
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: your car key and pass it on. Thank you the
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: world for posting this, right, I saw that last night
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'm reading that on the air. It's
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: gonna happen. Thank you for bringing in your pineapple this morning,
• 17:32

  Speaker 3: So we've been doing that everywhere we go we see
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: pineapple ever since we learned.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: The fact that you and I carried that pineapple down
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: North Main Street the other day upside down and walked
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: hand in hand.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: And only the homeless people, only the homeless people approached us.

  Speaker 3: were doing. I was like, ah, okay, So for those
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: of you that don't know, the pineapple represents the swinger community. Okay, okay,

• 23:15
  Speaker 2: What's going on with these firefighters? Please tell me this?
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: So did you see that? I used to live the story.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Washington straight, big state. Man, I've been on them fires.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: We fought the Midwest fires back in nineteen what's this five?
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: What's the song for.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: War ninety five? We were fighting the fighter fires out there.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: So there's always been a policy with like bored because
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: we bring in we use immigrants. Mexico sent people up
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: to help us during our natural disaster, so anytime there's
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: a natural disaster, they don't ever do immigration. So they
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: went right in the middle of a forest fire out
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: in remote Washington State, gathered up all of the people,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: demanded ID and started resting people. They held them up,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: made them stop fighting the fire for like three hours.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: So I guess a lot of people don't realize we
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: have a Fourth Amendment, like we're not supposed to nineteen
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: thirty eight Germany. They stopped you and asked you for
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: your fucking papers. Why are they doing this in the
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: United States? How come every This is not a writer
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: left thing. This is your Fourth Amendment. These are your
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: constitutional rights as these fucks trample all over youat.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, what state was Sissigan?
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Washington State? Pualla?
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I mean I saw this buzzing yesterday and.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I people cheering as federal troops walked down the streets. Dude,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: there's so much misinformation out there. People still believe Nancy
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Pelosi was in charge of the National Guard on January sixth. Well,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Trump tried to get him there, Nancy Pelosi overruled him.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: You're fucking kidding me, Like Nancy Pelosi ever had any
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: more power than the goddamn president. What a joke.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: You sounded like Ronald Reagan, my god.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Like it's pathetic And I don't even want to I
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: don't want to argue with him, Like if you don't
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: understand basic civics and the separation of powers and the
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: jobs that each politician has, and why legislators can't call
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: up the fucking military and why they sat for seven
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: hours and Trump did nothing because nobody could call up
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: the DC could call up the National Guard, but the
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: president huh, and then he puts the troops out. So
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: if Nancy Pelosi has that much power and use that logic,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: why doesn't Nancy Pelosi call the call the DC guard
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: back then? If she has all that power to overrule
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: the president. It's just silly the mental gymnastics they have
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: to do to defend these actions and shit, it's bullshit.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Good morning, everybody, Thanks so much for tuning in. We
• 25:48

• 27:29
  Speaker 3: this morning and going into the woods that don't look

  Speaker 2: Cow pasture, cow pasture also and Reservoir Road. Did you
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: know that? Why did you know that?
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: No? I didn't. People ride their bikes on those Millstone
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: trails and stuff. Please lay if you're on those trails,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: make sure you have somebody with you. You're either trained

• 28:08
  Speaker 3: you're trained to shoot a person and you've been through
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: some sort of combat shooting. I don't agree with just
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: carrying a pew pew.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Back to the uh youth triumphant. Look at your monitor.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just saw that. That's horrible. I hope they
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: got it cleaned up. That's always been like a target.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: People vandalize that.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: So I'm leaving the building yesterday and literally I've got
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: my finger on the phone to call Jarrett from JC
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: softwash and say, dude, send me the bill. Go take
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: care of this if you if you have time, I'll
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: But that's why we pay taxes to the city. I understand.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: But I'm happy to pay for it to get it
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: done fast because there are so many people that are
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: bitching and moaning and getting political on Facebook, and I'm like, I'm.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Like, right now, if anything goes bad, it's Joe Biden's falling.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's you.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I was just like, dude, stop bitching and moaning, you
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: fucking keyboard pirates, and do something about it. Go down
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: there and clean it. And of course I get down
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: to the to the park and it had already been cleaned.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: So I don't know when someone cleaned it, but somebody did.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: But man, that was just getting me hot yesterday. It
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: really was.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: I see way too much negative stuff about Barry City.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: You would think, stop bitching think that city and my wife,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: we all walk down Main Street and fucking Barry. I
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: don't we need to start posting positive stories and not
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: just all the negative ship And I think that's the
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: prom is every nobody's stuck in a negative yeah whole
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: about Barry, about Burlington, there's never anything positive about it.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: And you know, crazy, you know what's positive and it's
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: something I need to tell you about and something I'm

• 30:18
  Speaker 3: You know, we can make this city like really really good,
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: a very positive place because we could manifest it. Why
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: can't we all as a community just oh, I think
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: they call it praying. That's a real thing, manifesting. If

• 32:06
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, get in touch with Josh over it for
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: I think that's great. I don't think there's a lot
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: of resources for men, especially when it comes to single dads.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I agree with you, and there is now because
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: this is a big This is a big deal, man. Absolutely,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Obviously I'm going to have them on the air soon,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: and obviously I'm going to be over there and broadcasting live,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: and obviously I'm going to be one of the dads
• 32:32

  Speaker 1: You.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm not even I'm not even close to that.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: So saying the true I get going For me to
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: be part of something like that, like say, I want
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: them to help out, I think it's a great cause.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Just personally, I wouldn't right now because I have let
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: me explain, Okay, he started a program like that. My
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: father would have started a program like that. But my
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: father would ignore his own family to take care of strangers.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: And I want to make sure that I'm good with
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: my kids and that I've righted all of my wrongs
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: before I mentor somebody else's kids. I have to take
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: care of my own and make sure that I'm on
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: the good space before I go and do that. And
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people do that. They go
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: and they want to go. They're like, I've made so
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: many mistakes with my own family, let me go do this,
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: and they start mentoring, and what really happened to to
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: compensate and instead go back to your own family? And
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: those right, those wrongs, because what happens is your family
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: gets resentment. They're like, wait a minute, you know such
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: a piece of shit to me growing up, and look
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: how nice you are to these people, and they're trying to.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: You know who needs to be reminded of that me?
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because your family sees you giving to everybody else
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: and not to your own family.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: You know who you know who is always telling me
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: that is is Charlyn And I'm like, Jesus, I mean.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: My father would give his shirt off the back to
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: a complete fucking stranger and he would beat me and
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: my brother to a pulp. Wow, that's it's just but
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: that's the extreme. I'm just saying. It's just when you
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: watch people in your family give to everybody else, and
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: you need them so much in your life. And they're
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: you know, and and and and that's what it is,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: is is just trying to make up for their wrongs
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: that they did. Don't don't make up those wrongs with
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: the wrong people. Make up those wrongs with your people.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Go back to them. I apologize to them, done that
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: to my kids. We need to stop being the year
• 35:09

• 44:26
  Speaker 2: nine yards. I didn't know she was doing. So I'm
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: sitting out in the patio, I'm head deep into my calendar,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: I'm figuring shit out and stuff. All of a sudden,
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: there she is in front of me. Wow, took my
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: breath away. I'm looking at this thirty seven year old,
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: beautiful woman in front of me. I'm like Oh my god,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: that's my daughter. Oh my god.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my daughter wasn't a big princess. She was a
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: She wanted to fight, she wanted to wrestle, she wanted
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: to work out, she wanted to do everything Dad did.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: My daughter was like stuck to me. We were best
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: friends until she found boys.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Well she's right now, bron.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: It was just like one day, like all of a sudden.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: Oh no, the little boys were more interesting than dad.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Oh so her one of her first boyfriends checked this out.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: I can't, I can't hear this go ahead.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: So I was in a as you know, I was
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: in a motorcycle club and I was I did the
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: old dad thing to go meet the boyfriend. They were
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: over at playground two thousand and Me and my wife
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: were out and I had all my colors. I was
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: on my Harley. Oh and I rolled up on that
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: kid with my daughter and I put the fear of
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: God in him. He broke up with my daughter. Was
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: so mad that I went over there because that kid
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: thought I was the coolest fucking guy in the world
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: on my Harley with my colors. He graduated from high school,
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: bought a Harley Davis after absolutely backfire.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: My god.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, but then I got into that. Then you realize
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: having a daughter, like when you start threatening boyfriends, all
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: that does is create problems between you and your daughter.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: So it's a fine line that you have to walk
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: in order to have a relationship with your daughter.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: Well, she says to me, Dad, uh, I'm in fifth
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: grade now. And I'm like, I know that, honey, you're
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: ford at three days in And she said, you know
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: what this means? And I said I don't. And she says,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: it means that I'm going to be slow dancing at
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: the dances.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: That's fine, as long as you get two arms in
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: between you.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: And then and I looked up at her and she's like,
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: she goes, I mean, I mean, I mean, I'm just
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: gonna be at the dance. I'm gonna be at the dances.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: And the word slow was gone now, and I was like, oh, look,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: she's backpedaling, heart.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: And I almost said, wait a second, I hurt you.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: You got away from that Albert guy. Oh, Albert, you
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: keep him away again.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: You're the.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: Albert. You can stay with him, Lily, you little stud.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: And and I'm just like Albert is so Albert's in
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: her class? Got a mohawk. Yeah, we can't get him
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: because the problem is he wants to be a fighter,
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: so we can't have girls involved. They take up too
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: much time. You can't have girlfriends if you're gonna be
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: a professional fight, if you want to be a world champ.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: That's just the way it is. You either get in
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: a world champ, but you're getting a girlfriend. You can't
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: have both.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: So I almost said, wait, well you said slow, but
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: I tapped my breaks and I'm like, don't don't go there,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: don't pay any attention to that. But you did hear
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: what she said? And she's like, oh, backpedaling hard, I mean,
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: not like you know.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: And then she even went like this, She's like, you know, dancing, dad,
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: And she kind of did this a little bit and
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: and I was like, you mean this. I love dancing.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: I'm actually a pretty good dancer. I used to know
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: you dance in high school. I have seen, for the record,
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: I have seen you dance after at least half a
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: bottle of change. Oh yeah, that's not a good dancing
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: I have. That's how I met my wife. I am
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: dead serious. It was she was dude. I used to
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: walk up to girls in any club. I don't care
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: what state I was in, what city, And I'd be like,
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: you want to dance, and They're like, oh my god,
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: nobody had been standing here all night. Nobody wanted to
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: dance because people would be so intimidated. And I was like,
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: the fuck, man, you only live once. Go out and
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: have a good time. That was one thing I enjoyed
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: about the Army. You could be whoever you wanted to be.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: It was. It was nice to get out of the
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: little town and be able to be yourself. And so
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: I brought that back when I came back to Vermont.
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: I was no longer a inhibited kid when I came
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: back here. And that's how I met my wife, my
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: best friend. She has been dating my best friend, Jimmy yep,
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: and they broke up. I'm not going to get into
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: all that that horse manure, but they broke up, and
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: I can't. I had just gotten out of the Army
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: and I remember me and Jimmy we had gone up
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: here to the strip club. The bouncers were coming in
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: because we had caused problems in there, and it was
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: probably about four o'clock in the afternoon, and we had
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: started drinking because we got out of work at three
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: and we're in there drinking and I remember telling Jimmy, Jimmy,
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: the bouncers are coming in from Billy Bob's. I was like,
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: we are in trouble. We're about to get beat up.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: And he says to me, he goes, there ain't enough
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: of them. I like, and I watched him pile in
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: and I just remember they came over and it started.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: They said, you guys are cut off, and Jimmy went
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: to grab his beer and he looked at him and goes,
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: fuck you, and that bouncer tackled him off. There was
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: about ten of them inside there, and we started fighting.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: They're no way they got us out here. They threw
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Jimmy on the ground into the snow bank and they're
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: putting the boots to him. They threw me on the ground.
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: I bounced right up. They had i'd probably three four
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: of them. They get one guy around my night. He's
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: punching me all the way up out of that striper
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: club down there on Main Street. They bounced me on
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: the sidewalk. I bounced right back up like a basketball.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: Now I have all all of them in front of me.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: I said, we're gonna fight. So they back back down
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: into there, leave us alone. Wake Jimmy up because he's unconscious.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: He's mad. Yeah, He's like, I'm coming back later. They're
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: getting it. I was like, I'm not doing this, man.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: So we go down to the other bar down here,
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: Sharky's or whatever it was called at the time, and
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: he goes in there, starts arguing with Brenda, and he's like,
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: you leaving with me? I said, I said, absolutely not,
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not leaving with you. I said, I'm gonna dance
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: with this girl. So I start dancing with the girl
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: and we had a great time. We just hit it off.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: We danced all night long, and I remember I called
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: Jimmy the next day. I was like, hey, bro, I said,
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: that girl your ex girlfriend. We really hit it off
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: and I really enjoyed dancing with her, and I'd like
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: to go out on another date. He he got very,
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: really really mad. He was like, that's my ex girl.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: I don't want you to date her. How would you
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: feel about me dating your ex wife. I was like,
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: go for him, man, there's a reason why she's my
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: ex wife. So uh lo and behold. Jimmy got super angry.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: He ended up joining the Army, going to Iraq and
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: everything else. We didn't talk for he was my best friend.
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: We grew up forever and I couldn't believe it that
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: we were fighting over a girl. And it really pissed
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: me off. So I saw him at Charlie. Oh was
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: right before he left, and he threatened to fight with me,
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: and I was like, I'll beat your ass in the
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: parking lot. Man, I said, what are you talking about.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: We're best friends. This is a girl. So he joined
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: the army. He left, he was angry, probably five six

• 55:15
  Speaker 1: You're all right, really, really, bro.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: For real, nobody's dragging me out of my house.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: He wasn't. It wasn't dragged out of his house.
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: I thought he was standing in the door and guy
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: in the red pulled him out.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: No, he was on the.
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: It's okay, let's talk real. Hold on, what are I
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: I don't even understand the situation. I don't know what's
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: going on. It looks like a fight to me. Okay, yeah,
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: two dummies are fighting over something. Drugs. Okay, yep. But
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: people fight over stupid shit all the time. So what
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: are the cops gonna do? They come? Are they gonna come? Okay,
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: let's say the cops come, they take those two guys,
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: they arrest them, then what guess what, two new guys
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: from Springfield. They're gonna move in the very next day.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: You could raid that place every single day. The cops
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: have laws that they have to go by. The cops
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: are fighting a war with two hands tied behind our back.
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: And it's the same thing that we did when we
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: were in the military. You know, you had rules of engagement,
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: which yeah, could get you fucked sometimes. But I mean, community,
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: where's our community? Why is it stop calling for the
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: cops call your community. You imagine if five grown men
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: went up and just beat the brakes off those two
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: guys and said, get the fuck out of here. We
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: are not the cops. We are not. Let's start bringing
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: our community together. How about our community protects our community.
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: The cops can only do so much. Stop blaming them.
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: They're not. We have laws, We've created so many laws.
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: You know why we you know why the cops can't
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: do anything because we've asked the government so many times
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: to fucking protect us. You've asked the government to get
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: involved instead of taking care of problems ourselves. Yeah, you know,
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, Highgates got its problems, but so does every
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: every the moment, because you've seen the videos of what's
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: going on Green Acres.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: Anytime you put a bunch of people in a small area,
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have problems. There's no way around it. Yeah, yeah, right,
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know where community is. I
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: don't know where the community. Why don't the people a
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: Highgate make a fucking neighborhood watch? You know how easy
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: that is. Start patrolling with a video camera, go so
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: in groups, confront these people when you see drug dealers,
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: can you neighborhood watch? It's really easy. Hey, hey, what
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: are you doing ever? Remember that guy he got rid
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: of prostitution in his neighborhood because all he did was
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: walk around with a video camera and start videotaping the
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: Johns and putting their face out there. Trust me, you
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: have a lot more power as a community than you think.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: Stop begging the government to fix your problems. They are
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: the worst person to ask for to fix your problems.
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: You want to ask somebody how to fix your problems
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: with a fighting and stuff like that. Talk to Freddi Lapan,
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: talk to Lucas John, talk to Mike and Susie. They
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: can help you develop a neighborhood watch. They can help
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: you train yourself so that you're not getting hurt from
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: these people. I'm not saying going out and being a
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: vigilanti and beating people up. You don't have to do that.
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: But if you have five six people with phones, they
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: have no problem videotaping anything that's going on. Start confronting
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: these people. Start It doesn't take much. Take your take
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: your video. Every time there's somebody over there, send the
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: neighborhood watch over. Say hey, these people are what are
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: you doing in this apartment? Why are you showing up
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: here every single day? Start questioning these people. Make it
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: uncomfortable for the drug dealers to live there. Make it uncomfortable.
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: You can do that as a community. Legally, the cops
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: are bound by laws. Bound by a cop can't go
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: up you know what I found out, so a cop
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: just because you see people going in and out of
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: a house, that is not enough evidence to start harassing them.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: That a cop can't sit outside of a drug In
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: the state of Vermont, the cops cannot sit outside of
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: a drug dealer's house because they say that's harassment. But
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: you know who can I can? I sit right out
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: there with a fucking camera. I can sit right out there.
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: I can question every single person going in if I
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: know there's an apartment that's dealing drugs and it's in
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: where I'm living. Dude, I did this when I lived
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: on Summer Street. Bitous was down there. I just came
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: over to my fucking driveway and tried to sell heroin
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: out of my driveway. I went out and grabbed a
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: hold of that ninety pound little fuck, and I said,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: if you ever come into my driveway again. I'll make
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: sure you never walk these streets again. And it was
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: probably a couple months later that the drug dealers came up.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: They killed him, they buried him over in first year.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: But legally we have ways. There's lots of ways in
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: the community if you need ideas, if you want to
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: do a community thing. And I'm sure Lucas would open
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: up his gym for you guys to have a meeting.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: I'm sure Mike and susing Freddy the band is writing
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: Barry all those guys would be more than willing to
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: help our.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Communities before U before we close out and skip out
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: this morning, and I know we can. We could talk
• 1:00:45

• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: that's that was done organically. That's Steve McKenzie, man nice.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: He's the former city manager who is now the head
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: of the Burri Area Development. Great guy. He's been on
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: the air here several times. So is Nicholas Strell Castro,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: the city manager to talk about this. I would love
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: to and they to help us raise funds they have.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: They have been trying so hard and they're one hundred
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: grand ish short. Would you would think.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: That the owners would take the seven fifty and then
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: the other one hundred on a payment. Ah, I mean
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: I would Who the hell's buying property right now for
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: seven hundred and fifty thousand million. They're never going to
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: sell it. There's not a lot of people around looking
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: for those buildings. Matter of fact, houses that are over
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: four hundred thousand dollars are sitting on the market right now.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: They're not selling like they did during COVID. So all
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: right now the real estate market everybody says, oh, it's crash,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: It isn't crash. It's back to normal now you have
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: normal rates and shit like that.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: I said the other day I've said a couple of
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: times that I and I'm wondering how you feel. I
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be entirely surprised if at the eleventh hour, if
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: somebody were to say, all right, what's the balance do
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: here's a check, let's acquire this property.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: Sounds like a Tom lows On move.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't say those words.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: That guy, Well, you know what, anybody can say whatever
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: they want about that. That guy is the biggest philanthropist
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: in Berry City. He's helped so many people behind the scenes,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: and he takes no credit for it.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Would you be surprised if anyone in the eleventh hour
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: wrote a check for the balance and took care of it.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: That would not surprise me.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't surprise me either. And I've been I've been
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: shamed a little bit for saying that publicly. JD. I
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: can't believe you would say that.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: What you would know but away. So I imagine there's
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: a lot more than just Tom lows On as far
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: as philanthropists. And I think a lot of people don't
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: know what Tom does around here. They just see they're like, ah,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: one of his buildings burned, Ye are sin Well? The
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: guy owns half the city because if there's a fire
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: in the city, it's probably.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: Owned by them, right right, right.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: I just I don't want to get into his personal
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: bhysiness because that's his personal course. I know from experience,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: real life experience with Tom what a good duty is
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: and what he does for people that don't have things.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say he has bought businesses for people
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: at super low interest rates just to make sure that
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: they can get it done. And I have nothing bad
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: to say about that.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: I am hoping that there will be some good news
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: here very shortly about Manifest. That building man Manifest, because you,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: you and I both know it needs to be acquired
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: by the city. It's got to be taken down, it's
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: got to be it's got to be repurposed. That's a
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: whole nother story.
