  Speaker 1: have a Halloween costume that I've purchased, I've picked out.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It's ready to go. And I put it on a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: few days ago to show Sherilyn, my wife. And she
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: was not impressed at all. Didn't even crack a smile
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and shook her head, closed her eyes and shook her head.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: When you get the combination of both the eyes and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the shake, that's not good. This is what it was.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Dead serious. Words like, um, words like inappropriate were said
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to me. Um, Words like absolutely not were said to me.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. Do I just throw
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it in the trash? I need to think and then
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: rethink this. And I'm going to ask G's advice tomorrow,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and I'll ask your advice too. I don't know. I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: even said to Sherilyn, I'm like, you know what, I'm
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: going to put it on and go in the air.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And she's like, don't do that. You're really going to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: upset people. Really? I need to talk with some folks
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: about this. I'm going to consult with some of the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: top-tier friends that I have about whether or not I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: can do this, whether or not it's fun, funny, light,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: or totally inappropriate and offensive. But yeah, 30 days to Halloween.

• 9:27
  Speaker 1: sitting on the couch, she's like, are you serious? It

• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I've got a student from Montpelier High School who's supposed
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to be calling in.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, nice.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: To talk about the Montpelier Festival. A fall festival coming up.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: You do know that Montpeliers are rivals, right?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: It's a fall festival, Rex.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're Barry. We're Barry, bro. The Montpelierites.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: It's a fall festival, Rex.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: No, you're a traitor, man. You're a traitor to your community.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: 2,000 people there last year.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Reaching out to people in Montpelier. That would have got
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: your ass beat back in the day. It was a
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: big deal last year, man. And now they've got the students.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Remember the M & M gang? Were you ever around
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: for them?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: No.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, they used to hang out at M &
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: M Beverage up in Montpelier, the M & M gang.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: You talking 80s here?
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I am, actually.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I forget how long ago that was. Let me pull
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: out my glasses. We have to talk about Kingdom Come.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: It's almost here. Fight fans are ready for it. October 10th,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Doubletree Hotel in South Burlington. Get your tickets, Donnybrookfightpromotions.com.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: A lot of big things going on.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Big fight card VIP tables available?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so they have that PayPal option. They don't
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: have to pay for it all up front. PayPal allows
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: them to make payments on their VIP tables and stuff.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: So people can get in there, and they don't have
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to have the whole $ 600 up front.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you get a bunch of friends together.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, it ain't bad. It's $ 100 each.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right up close. I mean, right up.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Ringside.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Ringside.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: When I say ringside, because we do all of our
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: fights inside of a five-rope rig.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Crazy.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not crazy, because Scott Coker, who used to
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: own Bellator and Strikeforce, just started a new promotion called
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: K1 MMA.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: And they're doing... hybrid cards, just like us, inside of
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: a boxing ring. So the cool thing is, is we
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: use the Sanctioning Body International Sports Karate Association, ISKA. That's
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: where UFC ref Kevin McDonald, Dan Mergliotti, all of those
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: guys come from. So ISKA did all the sanctioning for
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Scott Coker when he owned Bellator and Strikeforce. So Corey Schaefer,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: the head of ISKA, went down to New York City
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: when he announced the promotion. So you're like, well, why
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the fuck are you talking about Scott Coker and his promotion.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: When we're Donnybrook?
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Well, the reason is because that opened up opportunities for
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: our fighters to be feeders from our promotion to Scott
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Coker's new professional promotion. That's going to rival one in
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the UFC. Okay.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: So there'll be another big platform for people, for fighters
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: to have that access for a professional.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: This is sweeping New England, man. I mean, this is really.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been looking at other states again because our
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: lawsuit in New York is coming to the end. I
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: think we're going to settle on that one. So we're
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: looking into other states and adding more cards. We just
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: hired a professional matchmaker out of Canada. We hired a
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: professional matchmaker out of, New England, actually the East Coast.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: So as long as we can have fight cards, you know,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: we have anywhere from seven to ten fights, we can
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: do fight cards in any area. We have a professional
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: ring crew now. It was a huge, like, moving to
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Burlington was a big, big, big jump for us.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I was just About to say that.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Bigger sponsors, more fans. You got the Army National Guard involved.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: We have the Army National Guard, the Air National Guard. So.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Burlington's a big population, man. I mean, and you guys
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: are it in Burlington.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're right at the Doubletree in Burlington.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, you guys are it in Chittenden County. I mean, that's.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Vermont.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Yes. Vermont. I shouldn't say Chittenden County. The whole state.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's it right there.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 100%.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: So you're pulling in fighters from where now? New York.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: New Hampshire, Maine, New York, Montreal.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Mass.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Mass.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: We've flown in fighters from Texas before. Yeah, we get
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: fighters from all over the place. The other thing that
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: we're adding on to our January card that's going to
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: be at the Doubletree.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Is going to feature a professional bare-knuckle kickboxing fight. Oh, shit. Yeah,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: we've already got the opponents. We'll probably announce it at
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: this show.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Fantastic.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: We're going to do it for this show, but we

• 18:24
  Speaker 3: What?
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: You can walk around with an open market. Right.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I know, like, Jesus. Oh, my God, an adult having
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: an adult beverage.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: And you can have an adult beverage in your hand
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and scream, punch him in the face!
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: That you can. That you can.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Just don't spill it on you.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Remember when I spilled the coffee all over that?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: I was just watching that video the other day. It
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: popped up on my timeline as a past memory. It
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: was a lot of fun.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: You know, and I've had people say to me, J.D.,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: did you burn yourself?
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, I want to give a shout out to the
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: drug dealers on Brooklyn Street. They just got a new
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: shipment of Fetty in. Really? Yeah, they call it Fetty.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to get with the lingo. So it's pure
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: raw fentanyl they're smoking now. It's really cool because they're
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: delivering down the road to the other guy, the single dad.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: This is a shout out to the single dad. We
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: saw you get the delivery. Hey, make sure your son's
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: not around when you overdose. The single dad that got
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the delivery of the fentanyl just down the road. We
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: see everything.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Did you say Brooklyn Street?
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Brooklyn Street. They just got a huge pile of fentanyl.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Is that Brooklyn Street in Barrie?
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn Street. Yep.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Brooklyn Street. Yeah, you just go down the road there.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: You'll find it.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn?
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a nice little trap house. Matter of fact,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: the landlord knows all about it, and she still won't
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: do anything about it.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn Street?
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe she's watching.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Have you guys reached out?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I should have got some for my birthday.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Smoking a little fentanyl, running through the woods, screaming, being crazy.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Looks like good times. Not everybody can understand that.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Sarcasm?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: You're being sarcastic. I want to... Have you reached out
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to the police?
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I have nothing to do with nothing. I'm not in
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Berry City. We got a cease and desist letter from
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: the city of Barry about our nonprofit. So we're really
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: trying to just stay away from Barry. Barry doesn't want
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: things like that around here. So we, you know, whatever
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: the people on Brooklyn street, I go down there and I, I,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I spar and train with Ed Collins being him. Sometimes
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: we have the kids down there and we train and stuff,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: but now I really, you know, that whole thing with
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: how they, you know, Nick Coppings, the building inspector, uh,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: who's already been in trouble once. I mean, the city
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: got sued once for $ 250, 000 because he was doing shitty things.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: The lady went and complained. And the city did nothing
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: about it. And this is kind of a similar situation.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: We went to the city. We complained to the city
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: about Nick Coppings doing this shit. I know for a
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: fact he has a bunch of complaints that never got filed.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: And now he's in the running to be the assistant
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: fire chief. That's all the city does. They never address
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: their problems. And they sweep them under the table. And
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to go away. I'm telling you that
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: right now. So, I mean, we just became federally recognized.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: And it's just the city of Barry, they can say
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: whatever they want. But I think they need the drugs
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: in this town in order to continue their funding. When
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you've got a lot of big drug problems, that's a
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: lot of federal money, man. Why would you want to
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: take that federal money away? Why would you? You know,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: everybody talks about big pharmaceutical. Why would you cure the
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: problem when you got all this money flowing in?
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Right? Well, you're on fire this morning.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: That really irked me.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Because I was talking with city council members, and city
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: council members promised me, said that guy resigned, and that
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: he was forced to resign. They lied to me to
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: get me to stop that fucking complaint. Hmm.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Are you going to shut your ringer off or am
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I going to have to come over there and put
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: you in an ankle lock?
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: And it's a telemarketer. So what they did is I
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: filed a complaint. They ignored the complaints. I've asked for
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: several things. I've asked for a complaint in his jacket.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: And instead of that, they're looking to promote him to
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: assistant fire chief. Once again, this is a very similar
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: situation to what they did with Rachel Wyatt.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: And I mean, I guess the city didn't learn their
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: lesson the first time. So they want to keep these
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: people around. They want to drive things out of the city.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, look at the city. What do you have
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Drugs.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Got a lot of federal funds for homeless and money
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: to fight drugs, right? And how do I know about
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: the drug war? Because I was fighting the drug war
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: in Central America in 1993. And guess what's changed? More
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: federal money to fight the drugs.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: You can wonder why we're never going to solve that problem.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: You're, you're, you're, you're, you're being very, very sarcastic.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Very sarcastic.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I don't, you're like, you're not meaning this literally that,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: that the city wants. No, no, no.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: But I mean, what, what is the motivation to solve
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: the problem?
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Are they going to get more money if they solve
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: the problem? If they solve the problem and the streets
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: were clean, how many officers would we need? All right.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: You'd have to cut the force. I mean, think about it, though.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: What is the motivation to stop it?
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Listen, I got a lot of stuff that I need
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: to get to. Go ahead.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I just came in here just out of shits and giggles.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: I was going by me and Athena.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: How's Athena today?
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Athena's doing... She's a little nervous.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Wound up. Look at her. Plainfield Fire and Rescue is

• 26:12

• 26:25
  Speaker 1: of leaf peepers, craft fairs, autumn festivals, pumpkin patches, apple picking, parades,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the list goes on. I mean, there's a ton of
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: stuff that's happening. I'm not sure if it had to
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: be Saturday the 3rd, but.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: And this is a really busy time of year where
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: things can get pretty, uh, congested on the roads. We
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: got construction going on. We got, Oh my God. But anyway,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: it's happening. So there it is. Don't panic when you see, um,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: all of the chaos that's unfolding there. It's all part

  Speaker 1: of their training. So I wanted to say that. We're
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: also going to be, at some point, I promise you,

• 27:31
  Speaker 1: which is.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Let's get positive here this morning. This thing has... kicked
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: my ass. It has taken off. I'm visiting 20 Vermont
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: country stores in 20 days.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, no shit.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: And putting on an insane amount of mileage under the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: tires at whatever it is per gallon right now. So
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: this is not... I'm traveling. This is not going to
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: be a cheap endeavor. I'm moving. I'm going from way
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: up north to I'm not sure how far south I'm
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: going to go.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: I've gone to some really cool old country stores in Vermont.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, hell yeah, man. I mean, it is really incredible.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: And I mean, you go to other states, they try
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: to mimic that with like commercial old town, whatever. Yeah.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: But it's cool to go to a real, like the Plainfield.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Plainfield.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Plainfield. I'm sad that they stopped making sandwiches.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: You know, a few of them have, um, Willie's is
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: another one. They're just, I mean, they're.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Selling country stores have the best deli.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I know man, huge grinder. Some, some of them have
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: are just selling meat. Um, and have not stopped making sandwiches.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Some of these, a lot of these stores, I would
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: say most of them have really adapted to the times. Um,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: since covid but also just a sign of the the
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: current economy i mean can you imagine owning any country
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: store anywhere in new england it's it's a big deal
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: man it's it's a tall order there's uh there's no
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: one that owns these stores who's filthy rich i'll say that.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: No i just remember like the little store the graniteville
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: general store next to us and um I remember when
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: old Lyle owned that store and he never wanted to sell,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: never wanted to sell. yeah and then um look it
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: might have been the subprime market or something but these
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: people came in they're like will you sell he's like
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: no i you know i got upstairs i live they're
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: like we'll give you 700 000 he's like sold he's
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: like i'll sell it to you right now and they
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: overpriced they overpaid for it ended up foreclosing And all
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: that stuff. Because Lyle did good. He did meat cutting.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: He lived upstairs. He owned everything. He didn't owe anybody anything.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: So it's hard to start a business with a nut
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: that big. Those country stores are country stores because somebody's
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: family worked years to pay off all the debt so
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: they could start actually making something.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: That's exactly it, man. Not the case for every store.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: But certainly the case is.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: You're not walking in and investing a million dollars into
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: a country store and hoping to pay that debt off
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: before you die.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Because as soon as you
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: buy it, That's when your cooler is going to shit
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: the bed. Right. That's when the old floors are going
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: to cave in. There's always upkeep to old country stores.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Or the fire marshal is going to come in for.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: A cup of coffee. Oh, yeah, new building. Yeah. Oh,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: I notice you don't have a handicap ramp out there.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: We need one of them in place.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a $ 15, 000 add-on.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: You know, these families, so many stores have had families
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: that it is– The store has stayed in the family
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: for several generations.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Like the Paxman store on Corey Hill. Now it's Harrington's.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Used to be Paxman's for years. Keith Paxman and his family.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Great creamies.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Dwayne Tucker's family owned it after the Paxman's.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: And they got, I think they've got Mr. Z's Pizza
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: up there, don't they? Yeah, they do. Yeah. Yeah, they do. Oh, no,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: you got to order them. You got to call ahead
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: and order them. I forgot about that.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: That's definitely going to be pizza night. I, you know, I,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I basically said to my followers, Hey, I want to
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: go visit some country stores. Which ones should I visit?
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: And right away I had 50. And then I was like,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I got to trim this down to 20 if I can. Yeah.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: And even that is. It's crazy.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Even going like I've traveled. Cause I train at United
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: fighting arts Institute up in Burlington. And so, um, Even that,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: because I had tried a one-ton truck. So I ride
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: with Caitlin O'Neill. We try to carpool.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Because she's got a small car, so, you know, 20,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: 30 bucks, we could fill her car. She's badass, by
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: the way. Versus 100, you know. Yeah, she's cool as shit, man.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Badass.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: She really, really is. She's just the... most awkward, dry
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: sense of humor make you laugh your ass off?
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: So listen, I got my list trimmed down to 20.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Some of them are pretty far south. Some of them
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: are pretty into the Northeast Kingdom. But I got to
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: tell you, and I've heard.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: You got to go to this story. You got to
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: go to that story. You got to go to this story.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: You got to go... I mean, how could you skip
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: this one? Right. So basically what I'm doing is I'm
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: going to hit them all. I'm going to hit 20,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: and then every day is going to be a surprise
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: store that's going to land on the Aired Out page.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: So I'm not going to tell you ahead of time
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: what store it's going to be. You just got to
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: tune in and see what store it is.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Dudley's.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Could be on the list. I had a lot of
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: people say, you've got to go to Dudley's.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: It's too close to home.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Gramps.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Is it called Gramps?
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Gramps. Up on Route 25.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: There's Waits River.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: There's East Corinth General.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's Groton down the other.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Groton.

  Speaker 2: The other way.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Groton, the grill.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Great place, man.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's a good little, what is it,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: that little diner there.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Groton.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like eating there.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: What is it, Upper Valley Grill?
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: That's not really a country store. You want to go
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: to a country store where you walk down one aisle,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: there's winter boots, cowboy boots. The next aisle is groceries.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: The next aisle is fish and tackle.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: But those boots, they have to have a little tiny
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: bit of dust on them.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, absolutely. They were bought on sale in the 1950s,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: and they're still sitting there. It's the same thing with
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: the fishing supplies.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Yes!
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: It's the same thing. You grab an old dusty bobber
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: because you forgot yours.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Dusty bobber. Oh, my God. You know, here's the thing.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: You know, when you walk through the doors of these.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: The crooked doors with the floor that's leaning all the
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: way to one side.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: The floor is crooked. The floor is old. It's original.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: The little bell rings on the door. The little bell
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: rings on the door when you walk in.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because Grandpa's in the back probably reading a comic
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: book or something.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: And when you walk through the doors, people look up.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: They look and see who's coming in right now. Do
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I know this guy?
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: They take their nose out of the paper just long
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: enough to see who's coming in.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: The thing I love so much about visiting these stores, Rex,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: is that, you know, Nine out of ten country stores
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: that you go to, there's no cell service. No. The
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: way that you communicate with people is this way.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Face-to-face, yep.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: You don't see a lot of heads-down texting when you're
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: in country stores.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Nope.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: You see... People looking at each other, talking to each other. Hey,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: did you hear about... Yeah.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: The country store is where you get all the information
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: of the town.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: All the rumors. Who's sleeping with who? Who beat up who?
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: It's everything.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, do you hear so-and-so's roof's leaking?
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Did you hear that they wrecked their truck last night?
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Went right over the bank. Is he all right? Yeah,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: he's all right. Did you call the police? No. Right.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Was he drinking?
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's a good old.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: You OK, though? Yeah, he's all right. Walked home, stumbled, stumbled,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: stumbled home. I mean, but you get the gossip, but
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: you also get a lot of old guys sitting around
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the wood stove or whatever, sipping coffee, trying to solve
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: the world's problems.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to watch out for them guys in
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: the politics. You got to watch out, especially if you're
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: in a hurry. You cannot because they're.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: How many times have you walked into a country store?
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: You're late. You've got to move.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Well, you know I'm a social butterfly anyway.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: But you were late before you walked into the country store,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: and now you're much later because you haven't seen this
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: neighbor or this friend for a long time, and you're
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: getting caught up.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Well, that's like I was with Caitlyn Tuesday night. I've
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: got to tell you a funny story. And so Caitlyn...
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: She's like, I haven't eaten today. Do you mind if
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: we go to McDonald's after we get, I said, all right,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: long as this is the only time, you know, once
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: a week is fine. If you want to go, I'm
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: not a huge McDonald's fan because it, it really messes
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: with my stomach. But anyway, so we go to McDonald's
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: after training up at UFA. I hopefully crew and Deb
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: didn't hear me say that. Um, but we went to
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: McDonald's afterwards.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: There's the soundbite. Taylor clipped that out right there. Rex
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Thompson saying, We went to McDonald's after training at UFAI.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: So we were in there, and my wife's sending me messages,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: and she's like, well, why didn't you go through the drive-thru?
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I was like, well, I'm blind. It's at night. I
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: can't see at night, and I'm not going to eat
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: a meal and try to drive home. Just not going
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: to do it. Yeah, yeah. So she goes, okay, well,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: what's taking so long? I was like, you don't understand.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: We were getting ready to leave.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, Humpty Dumpty's wife... started
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: screaming at the manager. I mean, you cannot leave McDonald's
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: with a patron screaming at the, I mean, everybody that
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: was getting ready to leave just slowly sat down.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, especially if Humpty Dumpty's involved.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, when she finally got all done her tantrum,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: and I'm thinking to myself, like, what's the most expensive
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: thing in here?
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: A $ 9 hamburger?
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: This is what you're losing your mind over.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Is a hamburger.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: And they gave you all your money back and let
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: you keep the food. Now you've screamed. You've asked the
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: district manager. They called the district manager. Everybody told you
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: to get the F out of the store.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: So she finally leaves. And I walked up there and
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I laughed and I said, well, you guys really pissed
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: off that egg with legs, didn't you? Humpty Dumpty's wife
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: is pissed. Oh, she was mad. And I don't know
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: what it was. I don't know. Forgot the pickles or something.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: But she was absolutely irate in that place. So, yeah.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: You think I look like an egg with legs? No.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: No.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: You're more round from top to bottom.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: You ever see them people, the egg people? They got
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: the big body and the little tiny skinny fucking legs.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Like a cartoon. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: They look like an egg with legs. legs.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Man, we have so much to get to. Tomorrow morning,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about the 200-pound weed bust from.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Lax to Orlando that was intercepted on commercial flights. It's
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: a big story. We're going to talk about the cruise
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: mom who's making headlines this morning.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: That takes some balls to put 200 pounds on a plane.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk about the big Fiji tomorrow. I'm
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: going to save it for tomorrow. We're going to talk
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: about the big Fiji cocaine swap for flour. 88 pounds
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: of cocaine seized from a Fiji Canadian national. that was
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: being stored at a courtroom for evidence. And they were like,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: you know, it's been a long, long time since this cocaine,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: 88 pounds of it, has been sitting here. We ought
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: to just randomly test it.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Flower. Someone swapped it out.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Yep. That's awesome. Yeah. 88 pounds is just for personal use.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: It's a huge story. A huge story. Also, Krista Pike,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: who's now 50 years old, scheduled to die last night
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Is that the female?
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: This is a huge story. First woman executed in Tennessee
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: in over 200 years.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but didn't they give her a stay?
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: No.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: The Supreme Court lifted that last minute stay.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: The state gave her not one lethal dose, but two.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Both failed. Witnesses said she was still alive and snoring.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: This is a huge story this morning. Two lethal doses.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Is she dead? No. The media was there watching. And
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: she's snoring, dude.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: So she's done so many drugs in her life that
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: they couldn't give her a lethal dose.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But they took her by ambulance to
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: a hospital. I think that there's a law. I honestly
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: think that there's a law. If you make it through that,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: they have to let her go. Is that true or
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: is that just a myth? I don't know.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: We've got to look that up. I always thought that
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: was like a double jeopardy. Once they try killing you once,
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: they can't.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Do it again. I'm just seeing here. Her condition this
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: morning hasn't been disclosed, but her lawyers say she survived.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Governor Bill Lee ordered a full third-party review of what
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: went wrong and paused all executions in Tennessee for the
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: rest of the year. The back story, at 18, she
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: and two friends lured her 19-year-old Job Corps classmate, Colleen Slemmer,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: into the woods in Knoxville in 1995 and killed her.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Jealous rage. Pike was sentenced to death at 20. One
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: of the youngest women ever to be given the death
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: sentence in the modern era. So a huge, huge story here.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm telling you, when you're using drugs to
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: kill someone... It's probably, like, those people smoking the fentanyl?
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Good luck giving them a lethal dose.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Listen, I'm going to make a phone call here. Okay,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: I'll be quiet. And, no, I don't know if I
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: necessarily want you to be quiet on this. But we're
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: going to get real serious here. Real fast. We have
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: a young lady who's on the air with us right
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: now who is going through unspeakable difficulty. You told me
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: a couple of days ago that someone just took their life.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: What do you... What do you know about this? We
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: have another suicide in central Vermont.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know a lot. I just know what
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: I've seen, like everybody else has seen on Facebook, that
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: she was being cyber-stalked and bullied and took her life.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Her sister, Eleni, is with us on the line, I believe.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Are you there?
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yes.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us this morning. You know,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: this was really, really hard for Central Vermont to process
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: this news. What happened?
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: It's really hard to say. For me, I feel like it's,
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: I think it's a lifetime of.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Things that built up to a point where she just
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: felt like she couldn't handle it. I think the cyberbullying
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: was the cherry on top in a moment of her
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: being at a low point and.
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Being told what she was told by Cam.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: It's hard for me to say exactly what she was thinking,
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: but I know that words stay with you and.
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: As people, I know.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: That we believe what people say, even when they're negative, it,
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: it stays with you a lot more than physical things.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: How long has this been, uh, how long has this
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: been going on? I mean, my God, I mean, there's,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: you know, we hear about domestic stuff all the time. Um, we, we, we,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: we see it on, on social media. We read about
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: it in the paper. We see it on the news.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: And some of this stuff is, you know, it's... And Rex,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: you and I have talked about this. This is private stuff,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: but at some point, it gets beyond private and it
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: gets to be the responsibility of our community.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: We have to take the taboo out of it.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: We got to stand up and watch out for one
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: another and recognize when... we need to get involved. I mean,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: so many of us turn our head and say, I'm
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: not getting involved in that shit.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: It's more than that.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: We got a real tragedy here, man.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: 100%.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: The biggest thing that.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: How old was your sister?
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: She will be 24 or would have been 24 on
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: October 23rd.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, so this is my belief between religion, science, everything.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: And my belief is, and this is what stopped me
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: from My own personal. So I started with, I would
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: look for signs, like, not to do it. Anything. Just
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: give me any little sign not to do it. So
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: I started with that.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: We're coming up. I want to interrupt you real quick
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: because we're coming off of, I mean, September was National
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month. Frankly, I think it should
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: be 12 months. It should be every month, man. But
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: The problem that the kids have today, like when I
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: was growing up and stuff in social media. So your algorithms,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: if you're in a bad space already to start with,
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: as soon as you turn on Instagram, it's going to
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: feed that. If you have a bully, it's nonstop. You
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: could block them, but they'll find another profile. They'll come
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: through another. So you block them on Facebook. Now you've
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: got Instagram. You've got Snapchat. You can never get away
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: from it. So we have to somehow learn coping skills.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: The other thing that we have to realize as friends,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: when you have a friend that's depressed and you have
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: a friend that's a real Debbie Downer, what that does
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: is that negative energy is almost like taking a magnet
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: and turning it the other way. So now where all
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: your friends used to come together like this, that negative
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: vibe turns this way. Nobody wants to be around that.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: They don't say nothing. They don't say nothing to you.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: So a lot of times people end up dealing with
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: this stuff by themselves. And I'll be honest. it's sometimes
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: easier to talk to a stranger than it is your friends.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: I don't want to tell my friends.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Any of my deep dark.
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: Can I jump in real quick?
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Of course you can, and you should, and interrupt us
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: anytime you want. We're so blessed to have you on
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: the air with us this morning. Go right ahead, hon.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much. I feel like most people, when
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: it comes to domestic violence, you know, situations like that,
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: you're right. And the way that they, like not a
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: lot of people know, not all the time, but with
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: this situation, a lot of people knew Cam, a lot
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: of people knew what was going on. I knew what
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: was going on. My brother knew what was going on.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: We tried ourselves to get her away from there. We
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: flew her to Florida to live with us. And Cam
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: had called the cops to our house five different times
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: on Fay. It was never ending. She had a new
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: phone and still new accounts are being made under Cam
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: harassing her using, Cameron Ravelin was using her child to
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: get Faye to leave from Florida and go back to Vermont.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: And that's ultimately what happened. And Cameron ultimately lost her child.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: But it wasn't a secret. It wasn't a secret of
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: what was going on. You know, Faye was screaming for
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: help from her post, from her conversations with me.
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: You know, I just, part of.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: Me feels like we all accept the love we think
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: we deserve.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: And I.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Think that Cam made Faye feel like she didn't deserve much.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: I just think that, I mean, I can remember conversations
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: being on the phone with both Cam and Faye and
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: just the stuff Cam would say is just not something
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: I would say to my worst enemy, you know? And
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: Cam claimed to love her. And Faye believed what she
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: was being told by Cam.
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: But it wasn't a secret.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: That one's tough. So my, the only thing that I
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: can say to people that are in these relationships is
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: number one, when that's going on, your self-esteem gets beaten
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: down so bad.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's sometimes it takes, I don't know.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: It's something.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: It's tough, especially when you love someone, when you love
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: someone and you believe they can change, they can, It's tough.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: It's real tough.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: We're not learning. Our grandparents aren't teaching us. Our parents
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: aren't teaching us. What real loving relationships should look like.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Eleni, go ahead.
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: What is love? I mean, what is it to you?
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: What is love? Because everyone has a different idea of it.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: And for me, my definition of what is love is
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ.
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: And....
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: But there's so many people in this.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: World that that are taught that love is you know
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: this toxic thing that you just put up with whatever
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: it is and it's like ride or die you know
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: and and it's just not that it's that's not what
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: it is it's it's selflessness.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Is an equal relationship.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: Right where you respect each.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: Other you how you each both have boundaries that are
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: respected yeah.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: And you don't speak death over people you love. You
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: speak life. And that's not what happened in this situation.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Well said. So one thing I will give you a
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: heads up was she, was this cam sending messages while
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Faye was out of state?
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Okay. So those are federal charges and I know this
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: for a fact and I can talk to you off air,
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: but I know for a fact a very close family
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: member of mine got in trouble for that for sending
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: messages to his ex-wife and just spent three years in
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: federal prison being bounced around.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: There was a no contact order in place during that time.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Get all that stuff to the police and the feds.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Because he went... So I've seen this in-state where they
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: harass the shit out of him in-state and the state
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: won't do anything because it's in-state. But as soon as
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: you cross... state lines it becomes a federal offense and
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: it's a cyber stalking charge it's a brand new charge
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: it came out with there's only been two people charged
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: with them one of them was one of my family
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: members and the other one was another guy.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Interesting yeah you know we we've had uh we've had
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: our run of some a lot of tragedy here in
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: central vermont.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: We have tough i deal with this with the kids
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: all the time.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: We've had motorcycle accidents we have car accidents we've we've
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: had fires we've had Young girls taking their lives. Just
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: last May, we had a young student at Berry City
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Elementary School who took her life. We're just, man, it's like....
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: That's not the answer. It's a permanent solution for a
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: temporary problem. I'm going to tell you guys, if you
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: believe in religion or science, both of them connect, especially
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: with quantum physics. So we know now that there's multiple,
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: multiple universe. And my honest believing is if you commit suicide,
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: you're going to end up right back at another universe
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: in the same exact spot you were in before you
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: did it. And you're going to be left to deal
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: with that over and over again until you figure out
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: how to fix it. So you never really, you know
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying? You're going to end up, it's not
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: a solution. It's never, never a solution, please. That's, I've
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: been through that. cycle in my own head. And you're
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: not going to get the outcome you think.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Eleni.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: I honestly think that you're right in saying that it
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: I believe my sister is with God. I don't think
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: that she's trapped. I think she's with God. And I
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: think that love that she was looking for in all
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: the wrong people, she's found it where she is now.
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: You know, I think that's what I think. I don't, I, I,
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: I don't, I believe in God. I believe in the Bible.
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: I'm not religious.
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: I have a relationship with the person that created me
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: and my sister. And I know what love is because
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: I've experienced it through.
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: My heavenly father.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: And I know that Faye's experiencing it now through hers.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: And I, it's going to be too long of a
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: story to go into, but It's a lot more than Cam.
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: It's a lifetime of things that hit Faye.
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: All at once. That's what I believe. And I don't know.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: I just think that all the pain that she was
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: carrying and holding onto and feeling like she had to
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: deal with by herself and maybe the words that she
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: was even believing from Cam, I think that all of
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: that is gone. now and nothing is going to bring
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: her back. Nothing's going to bring her back.
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: But for people that do feel like that, I've been
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: there myself. And I know there's probably.
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: Thousands and millions of people that have felt that way before.
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: And I think that every day we're here is because
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: God has a plan for our lives. And I trust
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: him with completely with my sister right now. I know
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: where she is. I know that she's safe. I know
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: that she's okay. And that's the only thing really getting
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: me through this. But it's hard because it's the people
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: that are left behind that really suffer.
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: I'll never hug my sister again. Not in this lifetime.
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: I'll never be able to talk to her through whatever
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: it is she's going through.
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: I can't help her from here.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I see... First of all, I can't imagine. I
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: see there's a lot of people. Are there brothers and
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: sisters here? I see Ashley and Michaela and.
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: Ashley is our sister. Michaela is a friend of Faye's.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: Joseph is me and Joe and Faye. We've got the
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: same mom and dad, but that doesn't make any of
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: our other siblings.
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: Less of siblings, you know?
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: But yeah, she has a big family. We all kind
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: of grew up in foster care. Me and Faye were
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: in foster care together for a while.
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: We all got separated at one point.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: It's a lifetime of things that have added up.
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: A lifetime of just holding on to anger.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: Childhood trauma.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: And you're dealing with... anger. You're also dealing with heartbreak
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: and extreme sadness. And I see the level of anger
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: in Joe's posts. I know you have two, Rex. And justice,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: justice for faith.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: I really think that The way I see it is
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: in the end that God will bring justice in his way.
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: But I do believe that where I'm coming from is
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: I want people to know and I want Cam to
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: be aired out, I guess, you know, so she can
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: learn from her mistakes. She can understand what the power
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: of her words has over people. We have the power
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: of life and death over the words we speak. And
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you've seen the messages from Cam,
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: but I can promise you it wasn't life she was
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: speaking over my sister.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: You've seen the messages?
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe posted the messages and stuff with him telling
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: her to do it.
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: Telling her to hang herself, you know, and to succeed
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: this time. Wow.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: What should be done with that?
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: I mean... I mean, I definitely feel like there should
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: be legal consequences for Kim. I don't think that people
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: should be able to get away... With saying those things,
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you threatened the president of the United States,
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: there would be consequences.
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: And he's a human just like my sister, just like
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: all of us.
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: That's what I think.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: What's going to happen now? I mean, is this going
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: to be a big hush-hush thing? Will this be swept
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: under the rug? Will this story fall through the cracks
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: like so many others? Or will it be brought to light?
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: I think in the end it's going to be brought
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: to light no matter what.
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: I think there's too many people that care now that
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: she's gone to let it just be swept under the rug.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: That's too bad that people care now.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: Better late than never.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Comment here, press the federal charges.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Glenn's a former cop.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: I've had a lifetime of being let down by not
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: only DCF, not only the system, not only the police.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, it, it, it's, it's wrong. It's all wrong.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: We live in a broken world for sure.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: We, we definitely do. I feel that system also. It
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: failed me as a kid, DCF. It failed me as
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: a kid with counselors. It was, it, it's weird that
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: the systems are in place, but there's just so much failure.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: You know, Rex, you and I are all with, first
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: of all, we goof around a lot, but we also
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: have some really serious conversations and some of them are
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: surrounding mental health. Some of them are surrounding advocating for yourself,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: learning how to protect yourself, learning how to stand up
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: and respect yourself. And, defend yourself in all of this,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: whether it's jiu-jitsu, whether it's whatever it is. You sit
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: down with all of the students that you train with
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: jiu-jitsu and have some really hard.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: We have what's called trauma talks.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: Harder talks. Sometimes this is harder for your students than
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: their time on the mat.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Physically.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: To sit and work through some of their shit that's
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: In their lives. They also need to know that somebody
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: other that cares about them. Other than... Other than just
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: the people that are legally required to care about them.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: Right, right. Or a biological.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: They've never had another man tell them that they're loved.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Yes. That's like a huge... They need to hear this, man.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: We all need to hear this. We all need to
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: hear this. Every person should be loved. But it comes
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: back to... I mean, yesterday... with Loudon Granger, who was
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: on the air. I mean, if you haven't seen that episode,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: you ought to go back and listen to that one.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, man, and
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: I know Eleni and Joe, Michaela, probably agree here. At
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's, we have to take
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: care of ourselves, okay? We have to keep ourselves in check.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: We have to do what's best for ourselves, our mental health.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: That's really hard to do when you're depressed.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: I know. That's a real tough space to get out.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: Especially on your own.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: I know. But if you can, you've got to learn
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: to get out, get exercise, do whatever makes you feel good.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Buy a motorcycle, whatever it is, okay?
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: For me, it's giving it to God. I don't know
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: what else to do.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: He's the only person that can bring things and make
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: things right and.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, believing that God has a plan that you're right
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: where you're supposed to be, good, bad, or indifferent, if
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: you believe that God put you there for a reason,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: like I was such an anger, I've had to deal
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: with my mental issues now that I'm older because I
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: stayed being a piece of shit for so long that
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: it kept my mind busy. And then once I became
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: older and I slowed down, I've had to deal with
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: all my childhood trauma.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: You know, for me, I never really dealt with, I
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: didn't have to deal with it. I don't know how
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: to explain it any other way than I took that
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: anger and that heaviness and everything bad I ever went
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: through and I gave it to God and he turned
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: it for good. My life is not what it used
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: to be. I have two beautiful kids.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: I have everything I ever prayed for and more.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: And even though, you know, I am going through something that,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: It's... It's hard.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: The fact that I know my sister is safe doesn't
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: make it any less hard.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: I don't miss her any less.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: And I probably won't ever stop missing her for the
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: rest of my life, but I know that I'm going
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: to see her again.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: And the next time that I do, I'll never have
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: to say goodbye.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: Wow. Powerful.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: That's a good outlook. I, you know, I, I, I
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: just really powerful. My, my point is that in, My God, Rex,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: how many conversations have you and I have had about this,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: not just on the air, but on the phone, personally, privately,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: that at the end of the day, man, it's like
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: we have to stand up for those that maybe we're
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: kind of witnessing. Just be observant.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: Be awake.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Be aware that, hey, maybe I got a friend or
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: a co-worker or maybe even my neighbor who's a freaking– We.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: Are human beings. We are meant to be around people.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: If you notice one of your friends self-isolating, that's a problem.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: If they're telling you they're tired, that's a fucking problem.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, listen, Loudon Granger in here yesterday talking
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: about circle, which is the ancient practice of sitting in
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: a circle. I mean, the freaking cavemen did this. And all...
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: One person at a time go around the circle and
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: we're being quiet and we're listening. We can talk afterwards.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: It started in an urn. They do this all the time.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: You would sit around a fire inside of an urt
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: or an Indian. Then it became our dinner tables.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: We no longer sit at our dinner tables.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: No, we don't. No, we don't. I mean, my family does,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: and Lily puts up a fight about it. She's got
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: to shut her tablet off to come and sit down
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: at the table. But we do. How was your day?
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Are you okay?
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Did you have a good day?
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: What was good about your day? Oh, it wasn't a
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: good day. What was bad about your day? We have
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: to do... We have to have these conversations with people
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: that we come across, whether it's a coworker, even a
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: coworker or someone that we don't like or, or a stranger,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: you know, it's, we've got to start watching out for
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: one another and, and not just internet has turned in
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: our cheek, man.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: The internet has made us so bold.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: And the truth, the truth is something that is, not
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: in everybody.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: And it's really hard to find.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: And the truth is, and I think this is what
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: would have saved my sister is knowing this and not,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: you know, it's you're, no one's going to know because
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: I say it, you know, and she didn't know it
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: because I told her either, but you are loved. You
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: both are loved. You are so loved. And that's why
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: you're here. And I think that, I think we all
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: battle with this thing and internally thinking that, you know, people,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: are there, but they.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: Really don't know you. They really don't love you. Like
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: we have this negative thing.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: That constantly tries to lie to us to make us
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: forget reality and what the truth is. And the truth
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: is that you are already so loved everything that you've
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: ever been through.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: God went through it with you too. He's felt your pain,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: you know? And, and.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: I think if they knew what that love was, which
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: she does now, I think that, she wouldn't have had
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: to look for it in the wrong people.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: And I also think that you're right.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: When you say we got to take care of each other,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: people are selfish. We're all guilty of being selfish. We
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: want what's best for us in the end. And it's
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: not how it's supposed to be. If we all took
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: more time worrying about other people than ourselves, then other
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: people would worry about us. We'd worry about other people
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: and everybody would be worried about each other and we
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: would live in a whole different world.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: Agree.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: Listen, we're praying for your family, your friends, anyone who
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: knew Faye, loved Faye. I see the level of just
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: folks right here in central Vermont. I see the level
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: of anger, of sadness, real pain. This is a small community, man.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: I think people are just sick of it.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: We're tired of it.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: The only solution I know is you need to let
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: go of that anger and let go of that sadness
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: and turn it for good. Do something good with it,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: not something bad. Don't continue the patterns.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: Break it. Give it to God.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: Do what he says to do and love each other.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: just love each other the way Christ loved us. He
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: died for us. Elainey, should die for each other. We
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: should love each other that much. Cameron, I don't know,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: but that's what Cameron did. That's not dying for someone
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: you love. That's not laying your life down for someone
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: you love. That's wanting someone else's life to be gone
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: because of hate. And anger and sadness and whatever trauma
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: that Cam has.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: You know, and at the end of the day, love
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: is what's going to change this world.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 4: God loved us first.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: And that's what we need to do with each other
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: is just love each other. Turn that anger into something good.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: Do something good with it. Get justice and change your
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: own life. Look at yourself and see how you treat people.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: And don't let this keep happening.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: Listen, you're doing this by.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: Being willing to come on the air this morning, live,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: and say these things. I mean, you're doing that.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: It needs to be said. It needs to be said.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: I'm tired of people not being too afraid to speak
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: the truth because all we hear is lies.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: Over social media, in music. We hear lies. We hear
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: that we.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: Are a victim of life's cruelness and that God's responsible
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: for every bad thing that happened.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 4: Do you know what's responsible? is the fact that God
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: loved us so much, he.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: Gave us free will to choose to do what is
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: right and wrong, and we choose to do the wrong thing.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: That's why bad things happen in this world.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: God wanted us to choose to love him, and in
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: doing so, we love each other.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: Laney, you've got some real powerful stuff that you're putting
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: on the air here this morning. You've got some stuff
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: that I think is going to resonate with folks for
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: a long time. We need to stop, pause, take a
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: deep breath, and reevaluate our lives, what's important to us,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: what maybe should be more important to us, and just
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: take some pause right now. No matter what that is,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: just take a deep breath. Shut your phone off. Get outside.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: Rethink things in your life that are wrong.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: Think twice before you send that shitty message.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Everything you do, do out of love. Not out
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: of anger. Not out of sadness. Not out of revenge.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 4: Do it out of love.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: That's how you break the cycle.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: I hope I get to meet you. I hope that
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: I get to meet Joe. You know, he lives right
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: here in our community. You know him, Rex.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: Joe lives five minutes away from home.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of do-sos. I don't know which
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: one Joe's. I'm older, so I'm more of probably their
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: grandparents' age.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 4: Listen.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: I know the family, though.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: We're going to pray for all of you. And we
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: hope that there's some resolve here in some way, shape,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: or form. And maybe... you know, maybe this is what
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: it looks like right here, just having these conversations on
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: the air. But if there's, if there's any developments with,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: with things, please text me, please follow aired out, stay
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: in touch with me, DM me, DM me through the
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: aired out page and keep me up to speed on,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: on what's happening. This is a local story, man. We're
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: not going to let it go. And I'm I'm not
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: going to push, but I'll sit back and kind of
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: wait for you and Joe and you guys. You guys
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: come to me. You got a microphone here if you
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: want it anytime.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: And one thing before we get off is, I guess,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: you know, the prayers are the best thing that I
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: could ever ask for.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: That's all we really need is prayers.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: And I also just want to get on and say,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: you know, pray for your enemies, pray for Cam, pray
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: for Cam to change her heart and Be different, you know?
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 4: That's what we need. We need prayers.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: Cam needs prayers and everybody, especially our animals. They need
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: the most help.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Eleni.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: Boy. You know, I said this when I let off
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: this morning, that there's some serious stuff that needs to
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: be said. on the air. And I'm glad that this
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: isn't sitting and festering and waiting. I'm glad that we're
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: putting this out right now, here, today. You and I
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: are some of the biggest buffoons Around. And so is G.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, we really, truly know how to laugh and
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: be light and have a good time. But sometimes, man.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a telltale sign of depressed people. They're the
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: funniest motherfuckers. Robin Williams.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: Robin Williams. Chris Farley. Chris Farley. The list is a
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: mile long.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: But.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: Man, it's like we, the thing I love about you
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: guys and all my friends is that we can go
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: from being really silly and stupid to really serious.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, knowing when to be serious.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: When to be serious. And my God, you know, the
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: purpose of this podcast is to goof around, to give
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: some entertainment, also some information, what the heck's going on
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: in our community. But also have the conversations that have
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: to be had. As uncomfortable as that.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: The ones that need to be aired out.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: The ones that need to be aired out.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: Amazing stuff this morning.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. She's got a super positive outlook. She does, yeah.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not as positive as her.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to be.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: It takes everything in my ability to, like, just not
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: take revenge when I've been wronged. It's so hard, man.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: You know, and I've been practicing this. I've been practicing it, like,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: just doing posts. I want to say stuff, and I don't.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: I type it out. I erase it. I type it out.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: I erase it.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: I just, I end up never posting it.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: You and I are so, we're so similar.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: I just don't do it anymore. I don't. Big Ed
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: has helped me with that the most. Yeah.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: You are in charge.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: Of your own ship. 100%. If you want to have
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: a good day, don't rock the boat. Like, you see
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: a post you don't agree with, guess what? You can
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: scroll or you can slap that water and cause some
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: big fucking waves. You are in charge of your own chaos.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: No one else.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: You can choose to be chaotic today or not.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: We're so reactive, man. We just react so quickly. You know,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: call people keyboard warriors. Call them whatever you want to
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: call them. But, man, it's like we react here in
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: the mind before the fingertips.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: We just need to just stop and take.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: A deep breath. But that's what social media has done
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: to us, has made us comfortable because you're not within
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: arm's reach of getting slapped in the face for saying
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: something stupid. Yeah. That's the reality. You know, we've become
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: way too comfortable with that. So that's why I don't engage.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: I just stopped.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: Ed is great with this stuff, and so is Sherilyn.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: And you know what Ed and Sherilyn are great at is...
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: and you've done this too, you're starting to do this,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: is you'll stop and say, wow, yeah, you're right. God,
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: that sucks or whatever.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: I've never said you were right.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: But then you say, but how, and Tom Murphy does
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: this too, but how does it affect you? Does it affect,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: does that really matter to you?
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but drop it. But yes, but. So a
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: perfect example, like when I left, the gym or whatever.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: And there was so many, Oh, I got to tell
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: you this. I want you to go do this. Turn
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: them in for this. Go do that. And I, you know,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: my first instinct, because I felt I was wronged was
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: to wrong them back. That's always your first instinct. Like, ah,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: you did it to me. I got to do it
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: to you. And I thought now I was like, do I,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: I don't want to do that because once again, I'm
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: in charge of my own ship. I can, create those
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: waves or we can have a smooth sailing for the day.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: The choice is really yours.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: When you get up in the morning, you can choose
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: for an easy sailing day or you create a lot.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: I just had this with a conversation with one of
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: the kids. I actually had to throw one of the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: kids out of my program. Um, he was going around
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: whacking people, punching people in the face. And his explanation was, well,
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: they disrespected me.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: Oh Jesus.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: Jesus.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: And this is why I'm not a counselor and I
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: can't be a counselor for kids because I'm a very
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: real person when it comes to that. And it really
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: pissed me off because I've heard... We specifically, I will
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: not teach a bully. I won't. I was a bully
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: when I was a kid because I got beat up
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: by my dad and I refused to train a bully.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: And the whole disrespect thing... that's a culture. That's a
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: jail mentality. I grew up with that. When you grow
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: up poor, you understand that. You have to be, you know,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: don't you disrespect my family. You've got to stand up
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: for yourself. You know the other place that that is huge?
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: Jail.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: So I absolutely told the kid, I said, the best
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: advice I could give you at this point is to
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: go to Cumberland Farms, buy some Magnum XXXL condoms, stuff
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: five matchbox cars in that condom, and stuff it in
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: your ass. Because that's the only thing that's going to
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: save you when you're in jail, as long as you
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: keep that mentality. Wow. So.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: Well, that's one way of looking at it.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: Well, but it's true.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: It's out. You're going to walk around. You think I'm
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: going to train you. We've been in there boxing and
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: teaching these kids combinations and shit. And he has been
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: lighting people up in Montpelier, Barry, Tombridge. Like, so what
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: happens when you are, you're no longer a hundred pound
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: 15 year old kid. Now you're a grown man and you,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: and you whack somebody like that and they fall down
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: on the sidewalk, bust their head. You're going to jail
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: because that guy disrespected you, but he's dead, and now
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: you're in jail. But at least you got the respect
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: you deserve, right?
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: That respect was a big thing. But it's funny. He
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: never tries to whack me when I disrespect him.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: So is it really about respect?
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right. Or just a power imbalance, maybe?
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Parents, when you act like this and
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: your kids see what you do, Your kids act out
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: the same way you do. If that's what you're talking
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: about on the phone in front of your kids is
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: how this one disrespected you and we're not going to
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: put up with this and stuff like that, your kids
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: hear you.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: They're listening.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: Your kids hear everything. If you are raising your voice
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: to your wife, you're screaming at them, you're hitting your kid,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: they see that. You're not giving that you're... Hopefully your
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: kids see that and they can break that generational cycle,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: but just know everything you do in front of your
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: kids all the way up through your, you're their mentor.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: I'm not, I only see kids, you know, one, two
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: hours a week. I'm definitely not their mentor. I tell
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: them how it is, but I'm not, you know, your parents,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: your parents, your grandparents, those are your mentors. Those are
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: the people that are around you and parents. Seriously. You
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: want your kids to know what a loving relationship is?
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 4: Show them.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: You can't tell them.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: You have to show them.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: If you scream at your wife and drink every single night,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: what do you think your kids are going to do
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: when they grow up? Do you think they're going to
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: do anything different than you? You lead by example.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: We all need to be leading by example a little
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: bit more.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: If you don't want your kids to be shitty, don't
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: be a shitty parent.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: The thing that really gets under my skin about this
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: story of Faye is, and I called Tom Murphy. I
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: texted the whole group over at Sweethearts and Heroes.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: Good guys. Great, great people. And I want to tell
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: everybody right now, if you haven't discovered Sweethearts and Heroes,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: you really need to. I'm going to put their webpage
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: right here in the comments. They're on the air with
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: me every single Wednesday. Have been for two years now.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Over two years. Is that That this was preventable.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: And that's what I think bothers me more than anything else.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: But how is it preventable?
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: It is preventable. Okay. It should have been nipped in
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: the ass. It should have been taken care of a
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: long time ago. Aggressively.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: Right. We say that now in hindsight.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: I know, buddy, but that's just....
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: You know the other thing that It's.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: How I feel.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: I hear you, man. I hear you.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: We got to open our eyes to more things, man.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: We got to watch our friends. We got to pay
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: attention a little bit more.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: There's got to be a better way to be able
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: to block people too, man. Yeah, right. Because I know
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: a girl that's dealing with a little junkie. And she
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: blocks him. And like a day later, he's got a
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: new phone number. He's got a way to send her
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: a nasty message. And he just sends the most vile
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: messages while he's smoking the fentanyl.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: And it's wild.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: Really too bad. Yeah, it is.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, Resilient Defense. So you saw the letter, right? I did.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: We are federally recognized now. As a nonprofit. Okay. So
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: now we have that we are state and federally recognized.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: So now we are looking for a more permanent spot
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: in the Williamstown area. Right now we have a couple
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: places we can build, but that's going to take time.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: And I have kids right now that need mentorship. I
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: want to do free kids classes and free adult self-defense.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: And I want to mentor... Teenage kids.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: I just dropped your webpage.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's awesome.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: So folks can look at it. Great stuff that you're doing.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I've got the mats. I've got the rings.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: I've got the cages.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: I have everything to set up a gym right now.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: You go light years beyond the mats, Rex. You're changing lives.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: Look at what you do with Dante. Every Saturday morning, Dante,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: who's autistic, you do private... Lessons with him and his
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: dad over at the wellness building on Summer Street. Every
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning, you're committed to this.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: I still don't get to the people that harass me
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: about him. It's wild to me. And they're always anonymous.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: That's the best part.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: Haters are going to always hate me.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: Well, someone came on. They were like, what's the point
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: of this? I said, well, it's awareness to autism. And
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: his response was, we already know what autism is. He goes,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: you're just doing this to self-promote yourself.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: A D-bag.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: I was like, wow, sweet, man. I said, but how
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: am I, like, I'm not making any money. I make
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: zero money.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: And I said, this is a.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: You volunteer your time.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: You're doing something called connecting with your community.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: Okay. If I made a million dollars off Dante doing
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: Dante views, then I would be like, yeah, you're right, dude.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: I made a million dollars. I mean, I wouldn't hide it,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: but no, I make zero money doing that. And it's.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: It's more because Dante is my buddy, man. He's my friend.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: Has been for years.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So, but that's what I guess a lot of
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: people don't understand is that's his reward.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: He has always wanted to be a rock star, always
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: wanted to be on YouTube, wanted to be on TV.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: You know, because he's that age.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: He loves.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: The social media, he loves his fans and followers. So
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: when he gets on there, that is the best for him.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: He thinks he's on TV.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. What they don't see is right before I
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: turn the cameras on, with him running around, flapping his wings,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: flapping his arms, because he's so excited to get on live.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: I know. So maybe I'll videotape that so people know.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: Why we're... Dude, you're doing great stuff, man.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: But then again, I've gotten to the point where I don't.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: try to justify myself to total strangers. I could care less.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: Good for you. But that's hard.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: You have the same problem I do. I want everybody
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: to like me.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: I'm learning.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: Now I'm like, wait a minute, I don't know you.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck if you like.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: Me or not. I'm learning through you. You don't realize.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: And G too, man. He's the same way. He's like, yeah,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: but do you really care? Yeah, I do. And he's like, yeah,
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: but really? Come on.
