  Speaker 3: and around sixty five degrees. Facebook question of the Day
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: this morning, and I want to know what your thoughts
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: are about this during Sunday night football. And you probably
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: heard Logan Loose talking about this on the Athletics podcast
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: right here where you are.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: He's a big Bad Bunny fan, all worked up and
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: excited that Bad Bunny announced as the headliner for the
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: twenty six Super Bowl halftime show. Super Bowl sixty, by
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: the way, goes down February eighth, Levi Stadium, Santa Clara, California,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: home of the forty nine ers. And Logan's excited, as
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: are so many others. But Bad Bunny may not have
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: been the first choice. Actually, the media now is saying
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: that he wasn't the first choice, that Taylor Swift was
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: allegedly in negotiations but turned it down because she didn't
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: want to do it for free. And now an unnamed
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Taylor Swift music executive is saying, and I quote here,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: why do they have to be unnamed. Why can't they
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: just say, Hey, I'm Taylor's manager and this is what
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I have to say. But here's the quote. She wasn't
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: asking for favor, she was asking for respect. Taylor knows
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: her worth, She knows the kind of ratings she brings
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: and the global attention she commands. She wasn't about to
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: hand that over for free. Okay, end quote. Let's say
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: you bought this. I think you know, I think she
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: should have done it. I think she should have done it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Not that she needs, you know, really any help driving
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: album sales or streams, but I still think she should
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: have done it. There's a boatload of stuff going on
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: in our community counter and every morning, at least most
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: every morning, I try so hard to run it down
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: for you. It's brought to you by the World, Central,

  Speaker 3: Major Kelly Sutton Bostly with the US Air Force Auxiliary
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: in Civil Air Patrol. Good morning, Major, how are you?
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: Good morning? I'm doing well. How are you?
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: I doing well? It is an absolute pleasure to have
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: you with us. I think everyone knows where the NAP
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Airport is right up the road here in Berlin. What's
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: happening tonight at six point thirty?
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah, based out of their capital is hosting an
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: open house out there to open our doors and show
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: everyone what we do within our program and our cadet
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: programs and our senior member professional development. So we invite
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: everyone to join us.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: So pro development in a couple of different fields. Emergency
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: services is kind of a broad umbrella, but that's one.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Of them, right, Yes, sir, Yes, we run ground team
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: rescue services and flight crew rescue services out of our organization.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: We do have, as a national organization, the largest fleet
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: of Cessna's in the world, and we utilize to help
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: support all different types of emergency services throughout our country.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I wish more folks knew this, and I think, I mean,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: we talked about it a little bit last year when
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: you guys were really kicking into gear with this thing,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: but this is a big deal.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I agree. Part about our programming, I'll admit
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: I am definitely biased as we work with young adults
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: ages twelve to twenty one, and we bring them into
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: that kind of emergency services ethos and that idea of
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: serving others through this training and they help and they've
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: been deployed in certain circumstances to help with emergency situations.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: So our cadets help support food relief efforts for COVID
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: and flood relief efforts with the Red Cross during the
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: floods the last couple of years, in addition to our
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: flight crews being up in the air and taking pictures
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: of a lot of that flood damage over moleculator and
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: that type of thing. So we're very active in the area.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I was reading in the world last night about the
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: other things that folks aged twelve to twenty one you
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: said can get involved with aerospace science, leadership, marketing, and communications.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: These are all like super super important things.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir, yes, and we I'm biased, but we do
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: develop some of the best and brightest young adults through
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: our program. They're put into an incrementally leadership development type
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: program that focuses utilizing a military STUF model on first
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: leading themselves and then direct leadership with others as an NCO,
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: and then that first step of indirect more tactical level
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: leadership as an early officer or young officer, and then
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: getting into that strategic leadership as a higher level officer.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: And we're very fortunate and Capital Composite Squadron based out
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: of ed NAP to have cadets in every echelon of
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: that particular development. So we're lucky to have a really
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: strong group of cadets for new young adults who want
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: to join, to learn and grow with in all sorts
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: of areas. Like you mentioned, it isn't just leadership that's
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: a really good one for us right there, but there's
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: aerospace education. We do help cadets get their private pilot's
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: license through our program. It's they all get ten free
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: third aircraft and five in a non powered aircraft. Plus
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: we try to get some terry OA flights set up
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: on the side. It's always cool to get up in
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: a helicopter, a great big military airplane when we can
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: swing it. They get opportunities to go all over the
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: country and sometimes the world to experience leadership in aerospace,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: education and emergency services in different areas. We have a
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: vibrant program down in Pennsylvania that trains and emergency services
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: and actually just recently had a cadet graduate from high
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: school and pursue he's now an ems our EMT and
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: he's pursuing working based off of his experiences that he
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: started in some of those programs. We have another cadet
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: who's seeking out leadership and was able to travel down
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: to North Carolina to work in a leadership development camp.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Another cadet who went down to Florida a couple of
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: years ago and worked in the space camp. So there's
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: a lot of really awesome opportunities for them to engage
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: in any area almost that they're interested in.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: If you're just joining us Major Kelly Sutton Bostly with
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: the US Air Force Auxiliary. We're talking about the Civil
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Air Patrol Cadet program which is going to be showcased
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: tonight at six thirty goes till eight o'clock at the
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: NAP Airport in Berlin. What's the cost to get into this?
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: So there's a very minimal there's a yearly membership cost.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: I want to say it's about forty dollars, but we
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: do ask that everyone come out and check us out first.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: We want you to make sure that you want to
• 17:33

• 17:43
  Speaker 5: the bells and whistles. We will have a drone obstacle
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: course and a flight simulator, and a bunch of our
• 17:50

  Speaker 3: of the biggest stories going on right And I know,
• 22:58

• 23:29
  Speaker 3: one star to four star and everything and everyone in between.

  Speaker 3: And it's happening right now, and it is a big,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: big deal. The government shut down. Here's another one that's
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: everyone's talking about. A polite I think I read yesterday
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: or heard I can't remember which, that it was a
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: It was referred to as a political earthquake that was
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: going to paralyze Washington, DC and our economy. Oh my god,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, it's a serious thing, there's no question
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: about it. And will there be mass firings? I think

• 31:58
  Speaker 4: opportunity sipp the way.

  Speaker 4: The fun run is the Nathan Pseudor Memorial Fund Run,
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: and it's a great run. Everybody loves it. It's just
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: one mile all ages. You can walk it, you can
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: run it. It'll start right there and by the main
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: stage in this in the you know, the State House lawn,
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: and it's a blast.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Starts at two o'clock.

  Speaker 3: To two pm sharp. All right, Yeah, make sure your

  Speaker 3: You're a board member with the Month Pilier Roxbury Public
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: School PIE partners in Education. Tell me about that.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Partners in Education is a separate entity from the schools.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: It's a five oh one C three and it's ninth year,
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: I think, ten to fifteen years ago, so it's very
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: similar to your you know, the groups that do the concessions,
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: the PTA's that kind of thing. It's a parents group,
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: caregivers group, and basically we do three main things. This
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: is our biggest fundraiser. One hundred percent of the funds
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: are divided among the schools, and then each school has
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: a high group and they just fuield requests from teachers
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: or student groups and help provide things that the school
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: budget doesn't, you know, like if the team wins, maybe
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: the sports jackets. Last year we bought a PA system
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: for the music group at the high school. We do films,
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: that kind of thing. We work a lot with the
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: middle school. They have a sustain they do gardening, so
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: we kind of help organize local food that the kids
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: in the middle school then process and bring down to
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: the food bank. So you know, you were talking about
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: the global affairs.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I was listening before I.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Got on, and to me, yes, we need to stay informed,
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: but we get involved locally, so you know, any place
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: can do this, and I think the local public schools
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: with our youth, the future folks, how do we get
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: involved and work with them and make a vibrant community.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: So yeah, man, uh we're talking. I think you you
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: said Union Elementary, Main Street School, main Street Middle School

• 34:42
  Speaker 3: impressive numbers that it's raised over over the years. We're

• 38:39
  Speaker 3: I want to close out with this this morning because
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: I want to hear what you have to say. I
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: want your take on what I read in the world
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: last night. I'm like, you know what this is. I
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: want to hear. I know everyone's talking about what's going
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: on with hood here and Barry and some strong opinions
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: that are flying around about that right now. And people
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: are at the very least kind of warm, if not hot,
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: with their belief system of what's happening to businesses and
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: small businesses here in Vermont. And I've read everything, at
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: least from a couple of posts that I have found online.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: I've read all of the comments of what people have
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: to say, and it's there's some strong opinions about this,
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: But I want to know what your take is on
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: something that was printed in the world that may have
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: slipped by you. Maybe you're aware of this, maybe you're not.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: And you know, I read this last night, Mike. Everyone's
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: got to know about this, just talk about it. And
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: then I was like, well, maybe maybe they're not aware
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: of it. So read it. So here it is. It's
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: and it's pretty simple, and I'll just read part of it.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Governor Phil Scott has just signed an executive order to
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: promote housing in Vermont. Here's here's what it says. Signed
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Order six Dash twenty five, which aims to promote housing
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: construction and rehabilitation and address Vermont's severe housing shortage. The
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: order addresses regulatory barriers and permitting requirements, energy code standards,
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: and permitting costs associated with housing projects. I don't know
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: about you, but I have heard from contractors that the
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: up to code enforcement has really been a hindrance and
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: counterproductive for the construction industry that claims to be attempting
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: to do all it can to chip away at this
• 41:43
