Speaker 2: Number what now, seventeen of August. How are you when
2:01
Speaker 2: when you were a kid and you heard the words
2:05
Speaker 2: back to school? Those were three words that I just,
2:12
Speaker 2: for lots of different reasons, did not like. I kind
2:16
Speaker 2: of dreaded going back to school. The butterflies, everything, the changes, anxiety.
2:22
Speaker 2: When I was a little kid. I still remember it, man,
2:26
Speaker 2: I don't know, just you know this time of year,
2:30
Speaker 2: you know, and of course Lily's excited, But this time
2:32
Speaker 2: of year, in a couple of weeks, when a lot
2:37
Speaker 2: of the well and maybe even less, when a lot
2:39
Speaker 2: of schools get back. I don't know the smell in
2:43
Speaker 2: the air, the crispness in the air, the school bus
2:49
Speaker 2: arriving for the first day, you got the maybe you
2:53
Speaker 2: got the new sneakers on. You're self conscious about what
2:57
Speaker 2: you're wearing, who you're going to see, who you haven't
3:01
Speaker 2: seen in a couple of months, your new teacher, what
3:04
Speaker 2: the classroom layout is going to be like, the smell.
3:08
Speaker 2: I don't know. The smells of going back to school.
3:12
Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll talk about it this week, we'll
3:15
Speaker 2: get to it. Looks like we got a cloudy one
3:17
Speaker 2: for the most part, sixty seven right now in central Vermont,
3:24
Speaker 2: with clouds and rain showers and maybe even some heavy
3:30
Speaker 2: thunderstorms developing this afternoon. We'll get up to about seventy eight.
3:35
Speaker 2: I know that it's not the greatest forecast to play
3:40
Speaker 2: golf golf, and maybe it's a horrible forecast to play golf.
3:51
Speaker 2: I will not be playing golf today. I don't know
3:53
Speaker 2: how to play golf, don't I don't know if I
3:55
Speaker 2: want to learn. I don't mini golf. Yes, but I'll
4:00
Speaker 2: be mceing a charity golf tournament today in Burlington that's
4:06
Speaker 2: been going on for almost I think almost thirty years,
4:09
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you more about it in just a
4:11
Speaker 2: little bit. But what are we looking at for tomorrow?
4:15
Speaker 2: Tomorrow's weather foggy, start cloudy later in the day, seventy nine,
4:20
Speaker 2: and I'm hoping things are gonna start improving by the
4:24
Speaker 2: middle of the week. They're supposed to Wednesday, Thursday, we
4:29
Speaker 2: got that big concert at Lake Morey. That's the Collective
4:34
Speaker 2: Soul show that I'm really hoping the weather's gonna be
4:38
Speaker 2: good for. Man, I have so much to talk about
4:43
Speaker 2: this morning, so much to get to. I'm gonna be
4:45
Speaker 2: a little and I'll be honest with you, I'll be
4:49
Speaker 2: transparent with you. I'm gonna be a little disjointed, maybe
4:55
Speaker 2: disconnected a little bit with a couple of things because
4:58
Speaker 2: I have I'm a little bit all over the road
5:00
Speaker 2: this morning. I want to talk about a post that
5:05
Speaker 2: I put up and the reaction that not only that
5:10
Speaker 2: it got, but that it's it's still getting and it's, uh,
5:16
Speaker 2: it's it's it's surprising to me sometimes and this is
5:24
Speaker 2: something that I think I'm still I think I'm still
5:28
Speaker 2: learning and I probably always will that sometimes when you
5:35
Speaker 2: you put something on Facebook that you think is you know,
5:43
Speaker 2: maybe not going to garner any reaction, and then it does,
5:48
Speaker 2: and then days later and even a week later, it's
5:55
Speaker 2: still generating reaction and comments. Is it's surprising to me
6:04
Speaker 2: some of the subjects, some of the things, and that
6:08
Speaker 2: it kind of goes on and creates its own momentum
6:12
Speaker 2: among followers of aired Out, which I think is great.
6:17
Speaker 2: I mean that, I mean that's why I do. What
6:19
Speaker 2: we do is to generate conversation and thought. I think,
6:25
Speaker 2: with the hope that it will create some kind of
6:33
Speaker 2: connection understanding between our community those that are those that
6:42
Speaker 2: are involved in that conversation. But it seems like those
6:52
Speaker 2: times are almost few and far between. I don't no,
7:00
Speaker 2: there's it's just people are so ticked off, man, and
7:03
Speaker 2: and we talk about this stuff all the time that
7:07
Speaker 2: you got to see it my way, and if you
7:11
Speaker 2: don't see it my way, then you're wrong. And sometimes, uh,
7:20
Speaker 2: I you know, I just I want to get in
7:24
Speaker 2: there and just be like, you know, can can we
7:26
Speaker 2: all just maybe see what else is going on here
7:36
Speaker 2: from somebody else's perspective? And I just wish that, I
7:48
Speaker 2: just wish we could find some more common ground every
7:50
Speaker 2: now and then, and I'm gonna be talking about that post.
7:52
Speaker 3: Here.
7:53
Speaker 2: In just a little bit, I'm gonna see if I
7:55
Speaker 2: can connect in with Maria Maria Rayan, who is part
8:01
Speaker 2: of the Vermont Agency Foundations All Charity Golf Classic. It's
8:09
Speaker 2: happening today, Maria, Good morning, are you there? I am,
8:13
Speaker 2: Good morning, very good morning. I can't wait to see
8:15
Speaker 2: you guys. What's the deal I just said a little
8:17
Speaker 2: while ago, the weather forecast is going to be wet today.
8:22
Speaker 3: Well, we're hoping it's going to stay dry.
8:25
Speaker 4: It's you know, it ranged earlier, but we have overcasts.
8:28
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's not raining at the moment, so we're
8:31
Speaker 4: keeping our fingers crossed for the day.
8:33
Speaker 2: All right, Burlington Country Club is where you are right now.
8:38
Speaker 2: Tell us about this, the Vermont Agency's Foundation All Charity Classic.
8:43
Speaker 2: This is a big, big deal today. It's been going
8:47
Speaker 2: on for a long time.
8:48
Speaker 3: It has it's been twenty six years.
8:51
Speaker 4: Every year we host a fundraiser for a lot of
8:56
Speaker 4: the charities within the community, and so we have thirty
8:59
Speaker 4: four teams participating, we have twenty eight sponsors, I'm sorry,
9:04
Speaker 4: twenty eight charities, and then we have quite a few
9:07
Speaker 4: people that come out locally and play and so we'll
9:10
Speaker 4: raise close to one hundred thousand, and then we have,
9:13
Speaker 4: you know, three teams that place to win that money.
9:17
Speaker 3: That we've raised. So it's been it's a lot of fun.
9:21
Speaker 3: We have a lot of volunteers who come out to
9:23
Speaker 3: and take the day to you know, be on a
9:27
Speaker 3: hole and to cheer on the players. So it's a
9:30
Speaker 3: lot of fun. It's a big event and you know,
9:33
Speaker 3: we just just have fun with it. Wow.
9:36
Speaker 2: You know, I just posted up this morning the Facebook
9:39
Speaker 2: question of the day, If you had fifty grand to
9:42
Speaker 2: throw at any Vermont charity, which one would it be.
9:46
Speaker 2: I'll be watching and seeing what is near and dear
9:50
Speaker 2: to people's hearts and how they respond to that. But
9:54
Speaker 2: how many charities did you say?
9:57
Speaker 4: We have twenty eight charities this year and last year
10:01
Speaker 4: Fly and Ryan won they were the first place team
10:03
Speaker 4: and they won fifty thousand. So it's a it's a
10:06
Speaker 4: big event for these community charity be charitable organizations because
10:11
Speaker 4: that money can go to a lot of things that
10:12
Speaker 4: they're trying to do and help families and children in
10:15
Speaker 4: the community.
10:17
Speaker 3: So it's a it's a really wonderful event.
10:19
Speaker 4: And you know, the foundation has done this for again
10:22
Speaker 4: twenty six years, so it's a lot of fun, and
10:24
Speaker 4: people who play really come out for the people that
10:27
Speaker 4: they're trying to win for, and so it's it's just
10:30
Speaker 4: a lot of fun as a whole.
10:32
Speaker 2: Ryan's dad was on the air with me here in
10:35
Speaker 2: the studio and it was one of the most profound
10:38
Speaker 2: interviews I think I've ever done in my career.
10:41
Speaker 3: Oh, I love Peter.
10:42
Speaker 4: He's just amazing, honestly, and what they do for their organization,
10:46
Speaker 4: He's it's just they're relentless. They're just out there talking
10:50
Speaker 4: about his son, and I just I love what they're doing.
10:53
Speaker 4: I love what they represent. And a lot of charities
10:56
Speaker 4: that we that we are, you know, trying to raise
10:58
Speaker 4: money for here are just like that, and they just
11:00
Speaker 4: do wonderful things in the community, and so we just
11:03
Speaker 4: we want to help them as much.
11:05
Speaker 3: As we possibly can can through the foundation. So this
11:08
Speaker 3: is a great way to get everyone together to do that.
11:10
Speaker 2: Wow, twenty six years that the Vermont Agency Foundation has
11:16
Speaker 2: been putting this all charity Classic on that is so remarkable.
11:20
Speaker 3: Wow, a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun.
11:23
Speaker 3: So we hope the weather holds out for us today.
11:27
Speaker 3: They're all getting ready.
11:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna have people coming in and registering soon,
11:31
Speaker 4: and then you know, we have our kickoff and then
11:34
Speaker 4: it's a whole day of events and at the end
11:36
Speaker 4: of the day we have our dinner and we you know,
11:39
Speaker 4: we announced the winners of the day.
11:41
Speaker 3: So it's just a lot of fun.
11:42
Speaker 2: I can't wait. But not before the shootout though. What's
11:45
Speaker 2: happening at the very end, at the very.
11:49
Speaker 4: Very end is when we have our it's almost like
11:51
Speaker 4: a not a check reception, but it's really just to
11:53
Speaker 4: announce the winners and we celebrate those people who won
11:55
Speaker 4: the teams that came out for their charities, and everyone's
11:58
Speaker 4: out here to win for their chairs, so it's a
12:01
Speaker 4: little competition as well. But they're here to fun, but
12:04
Speaker 4: they're also here to win that money for their charity
12:06
Speaker 4: that they're sponsoring.
12:07
Speaker 2: I can't wait to be there, can't wait to see you,
12:10
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see your booth. I can't wait
12:11
Speaker 2: to be part of it. I'll be live streaming and
12:14
Speaker 2: I'll see you in a little bit, rain or shine.
12:16
Speaker 2: We're doing this no matter what.
12:19
Speaker 3: Sounds good.
12:20
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Marie, thank you. Yes, Maria Rayner right there,
12:26
Speaker 2: who is going to be front and center along with
12:30
Speaker 2: Randy and so many others that are going to be
12:34
Speaker 2: part of this amazing all charity golf Classic with the
12:38
Speaker 2: Vermont Agency going on today. It's going to be awesome
12:42
Speaker 2: Burlington Country Club. I'll be there. I can't wait to
12:46
Speaker 2: experience this for the first time ever. So let's let's
12:53
Speaker 2: get to some of the headlines here. Some of what's
12:56
Speaker 2: going on, and some of this stuff is a little
12:58
Speaker 2: bit heavy.
13:00
Speaker 3: I know that.
13:02
Speaker 2: Hawaii is dealing with the aftermath of this tropical storm Lalla,
13:08
Speaker 2: which weakened after passing near the Big Island, but brought
13:13
Speaker 2: very very heavy rain, damaging winds, and flooding. Reports say
13:18
Speaker 2: that about one hundred and eighty thousand utility customers were
13:23
Speaker 2: without power, homes were damaged by flooding and severe weather. Man,
13:32
Speaker 2: I find some time today to just think about these people,
13:40
Speaker 2: put your hands together for him and say a prayer
13:42
Speaker 2: form We hope that they're going to be okay. You know,
13:47
Speaker 2: which gets us gets me wondering. You know, this is
13:54
Speaker 2: hurricane season. So far, it's been a quiet but we all,
14:04
Speaker 2: I think we all need to remind ourselves here in
14:09
Speaker 2: the North Country that these tropical storms and these hurricanes
14:15
Speaker 2: can and have pushed their way far enough north and
14:22
Speaker 2: have had some horrific effects up here. We don't need
14:29
Speaker 2: to say Hurricane Irene. We don't need to. I don't
14:39
Speaker 2: need to tell you about July of twenty twenty three
14:44
Speaker 2: or twenty twenty four. You already know. So how prepared
14:51
Speaker 2: are you as an individual? How prepared do you think
14:54
Speaker 2: our communities are for increasingly dangerous tropical weather? And how
15:04
Speaker 2: quickly can power and emergency services recover. It's just something
15:15
Speaker 2: to think about. And I know, I know that some
15:21
Speaker 2: of you will say, oh JD, here you go again
15:24
Speaker 2: with your fear mongering. It's not that at all. It's
15:28
Speaker 2: not that at all. And if you think that that's
15:36
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to do, that's not on me, that's
15:42
Speaker 2: on you. It's just something that's you know. I'm sure
15:51
Speaker 2: I'm sure our local first responders have this in the
15:55
Speaker 2: back of their mind this time of year. I'm sure
15:57
Speaker 2: that our city officials in whatever city in are thinking
16:03
Speaker 2: about stuff like this. Anyway, we have the sixty day
16:09
Speaker 2: US Iran cease Fire peace Memorandum, whatever it is that
16:17
Speaker 2: you want to call it, expiring. It's over without a
16:25
Speaker 2: final agreement. Today, the situation is not great. Negotiations are stalled,
16:37
Speaker 2: tensions are building surrounding the Strait of Hormuze, and the
16:46
Speaker 2: pressure is high. Conflicting reports or are coming in about
16:54
Speaker 2: whether Washington and Tehran could extend this cease fire. I
17:06
Speaker 2: think it was such Trump that referred to Iran as
17:10
Speaker 2: a a poker player or not a very good poker player.
17:22
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. Do you think the Iran ceasefire
17:27
Speaker 2: will hold our we heading toward another escalation?
17:35
Speaker 3: M M.
17:37
Speaker 2: I mean, I can tell you what I think, but
17:39
Speaker 2: it it doesn't matter. I care about what you think.
17:47
Speaker 2: I don't think it's uh. I well, I want to
17:51
Speaker 2: know what you think. ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith firing
17:57
Speaker 2: back in a big way, and I'm glad he is
18:02
Speaker 2: after the National Association of Black Journalists gave him it's
18:08
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six thumbs down award. And the controversy about
18:16
Speaker 2: this is it's on the upswing at this very hour.
18:22
Speaker 2: I don't know where you stand on this. I don't
18:23
Speaker 2: know how you feel about it, but more than welcome
18:27
Speaker 2: to post whatever it is that you feel about it
18:30
Speaker 2: in the comments, and I hope you do. The organization
18:35
Speaker 2: cited what it called a recurring pattern of disparaging commentary
18:40
Speaker 2: directed toward prominent black women. Really. Smith has responded forcefully,
18:49
Speaker 2: saying that he intends to confront the organization over the award.
19:00
Speaker 2: There's a lot to be said here, but I'll just
19:03
Speaker 2: say a little bit in that I think that all journalists,
19:12
Speaker 2: sports reporters, podcasters, whatever it may be, should be held
19:20
Speaker 2: accountable for what they say. I mean, God knows, I've
19:25
Speaker 2: said things into this microphone that I have gone back
19:31
Speaker 2: and thought about and had a different perspective. That maybe
19:38
Speaker 2: I could have said something in a different way. Maybe
19:42
Speaker 2: I didn't articulate as well as I should have, or
19:50
Speaker 2: that I didn't accurately describe what it is that I'm
19:55
Speaker 2: trying to say or what it is that I feel.
19:59
Speaker 2: And sometimes that warrants an apology, and sometimes.
20:08
Speaker 3: It just.
20:10
Speaker 2: Doesn't. And just because folks were offended or whatever, that
20:20
Speaker 2: if it wasn't the intention of that journalist, that podcast,
20:27
Speaker 2: or that sports reporter, whatever it is that they do,
20:29
Speaker 2: if it wasn't their intention to slander, to smear, or
20:38
Speaker 2: to take a jab at someone or some group, that
20:44
Speaker 2: I don't know, that it warrants an apology. And I'm
20:52
Speaker 2: not saying this coming from an egotistical standpoint, coming from
20:56
Speaker 2: this from just an honest standpoint. We'll see what's going
21:03
Speaker 2: to happen here. But you know, is Stephen A. Smith
21:08
Speaker 2: being held accountable for his comments? We'll see what will
21:17
Speaker 2: he defend? What will he not defend? What's worth his
21:24
Speaker 2: time and energy when it comes to a response. And
21:28
Speaker 2: that is something that I've been asking myself more frequently
21:34
Speaker 2: now in my life than I ever have before. It
21:40
Speaker 2: is actually something that I find myself doing almost daily.
21:46
Speaker 2: Actually it's not even almost daily, it is daily, and honestly,
21:52
Speaker 2: sometimes it's hourly. What is worth your time and energy
22:00
Speaker 2: speaking up about defending, explaining over explaining justifying? Is the
22:14
Speaker 2: criticism becoming personal? These are the questions that you have
22:23
Speaker 2: to ask yourself, and honestly, whether you're a journalist or not,
22:28
Speaker 2: I mean, anyone that's posting anything, especially something that is
22:36
Speaker 2: of opinion, and we're all doing that on several different platforms. Anyway,
22:50
Speaker 2: major issue for millions of borrowers, The SAVE repayment plan
22:57
Speaker 2: is officially dead following a federal court order. The Department
23:03
Speaker 2: of Education says borrowers who were enrolled in Save will
23:08
Speaker 2: have at least ninety days to move into another legal
23:12
Speaker 2: repayment plan three months. The new repayment Assistance plan is
23:19
Speaker 2: what it's called WRAP. It's the acronym which launched over
23:26
Speaker 2: a month ago July First. Should the Feds forgive more
23:37
Speaker 2: student debt? Or should borrowers be responsible for paying back
23:44
Speaker 2: what they borrowed? What do you say? What say you?
23:50
Speaker 3: On? This?
23:53
Speaker 2: Tomorrow is August eighteenth. Voters in where Florida, Alaska, Wyoming
24:02
Speaker 2: all going to be headed to the polls for the primaries.
24:07
Speaker 2: Florida is of particular significance, I think, because voters will
24:13
Speaker 2: choose nominees in major federal and state races, including the
24:19
Speaker 2: US Senate and governor's races. It's going to be interesting
24:24
Speaker 2: to watch. Important note here. Things are shifting, Things are changing.
24:40
Speaker 2: Some of us like it and some of us don't.
24:48
Speaker 2: And that doesn't matter whether you're in the Green Mountain
24:52
Speaker 2: State or whether you're down in the Sunshine State. Things
24:57
Speaker 2: are changing. Actress Hayden Panitier, known for Heroes Nashville, remember
25:08
Speaker 2: the Titans. For some reason, and the details are unclear
25:15
Speaker 2: right now, obviously, but this news is breaking this morning.
25:18
Speaker 2: For some reason, She's passed away she's no longer with
25:22
Speaker 2: us thirty six years old, Striking News thirty six. There
25:38
Speaker 2: was an interview that she did not long ago where
25:41
Speaker 2: she spoke quite emotionally about having more life she wanted
25:47
Speaker 2: to live. Definitely, probably, I would say definitely, not only
26:01
Speaker 2: the biggest entertainment story of the morning, but also something
26:07
Speaker 2: that we are wanting more information on. Is this anything
26:14
Speaker 2: that is related to mental health? I mean, this is
26:19
Speaker 2: a young woman who was just on top of the world,
26:23
Speaker 2: had everything going for her. Bizarre la authorities are searching
26:33
Speaker 2: for suspects following street takeovers. This is something that and
26:41
Speaker 2: Tom Murphy may not realize this yet, but it's something
26:45
Speaker 2: that he is going to be I am going to
26:47
Speaker 2: get him on the air and where you're going to
26:49
Speaker 2: be talking about this. These some of them call them
26:55
Speaker 2: teen takeovers that this one, like most of them, escalated
27:04
Speaker 2: into looting and vandalism. Twenty seven people suspected of taking
27:10
Speaker 2: over part of this area this street, burglarizing many local
27:20
Speaker 2: businesses in these coordinated efforts between youth. Just generalize there,
27:34
Speaker 2: it's kind of a like a mob like burglary. They
27:38
Speaker 2: use the power of numbers and they literally overwhelm and
27:43
Speaker 2: take over all others, including law enforcement. The La County
27:50
Speaker 2: Sheriff's Department certainly has their hands full. I can't imagine,
27:56
Speaker 2: can't imagine. Does this raise questions about public safety, about
28:03
Speaker 2: organized groups, about whether law enforcement has enough training and
28:09
Speaker 2: enough resources and tools to get in there and discourage
28:17
Speaker 2: this type of behavior. Yeah? This is crazy stuff, crazy
28:33
Speaker 2: crazy stuff. Is this a trend? Is this like the
28:38
Speaker 2: popular thing to do?
28:39
Speaker 5: Now?
28:42
Speaker 2: Is this going to start happening in smaller communities than
28:50
Speaker 2: Los Angeles? As if we don't have enough to think
28:59
Speaker 2: about to contend with, and now this, let's lighten it up,
29:12
Speaker 2: shall we? And g and I are going to have
29:17
Speaker 2: fun with this on Friday. You can bet your ass
29:21
Speaker 2: we are Duncan Donuts. Fall menu comes out Wednesday. Oh
29:33
Speaker 2: my god, We've got to wait from Monday to Wednesday.
29:40
Speaker 2: Including the pumpkin spice signature latte, another Fall favorites Gene.
29:52
Speaker 2: I will I'll force him to have a pumpkin spice latte,
30:00
Speaker 2: and he'll fight me and he'll get out the nails.
30:05
Speaker 2: But I will put a relentless amount of pressure on
30:09
Speaker 2: him to get a pumpkin spice latte just because it's fall.
30:22
Speaker 2: This is someone who and I think goes into full
30:29
Speaker 2: vomit mode about even the words pumpkin spice, let alone
30:35
Speaker 2: the actual taste, and he will do ge his trademark
30:46
Speaker 2: vomit pose, which I can't. I mean, I've tried, but
30:53
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't. I just can't do it like
30:59
Speaker 2: he does. And he'll do it. And I will have
31:03
Speaker 2: a pumpkin spice latte on Friday morning, and by God,
31:06
Speaker 2: this entire building will smell like pumpkin spice.
31:11
Speaker 3: We have to do it.
31:16

34:33
Speaker 2: Might you buy one of these energy drinks at UH

Speaker 5: ass food.
34:54
Speaker 6: What what are they doing?

35:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, Brice.
35:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you Chuck Well? I got you on the line.
35:12
Speaker 2: What do you think about these team takeovers? I don't
35:15
Speaker 2: know if you heard me talking about it. A big
35:17
Speaker 2: one in La where just like yeah where hundreds of
35:23
Speaker 2: teenagers get together and basically overpower a street, a neighborhood,
35:31
Speaker 2: a block, uh, smash windows, go in, steal everything, they can,
35:36
Speaker 2: flip cars over, whatever they have to do. But the
35:39
Speaker 2: police just can't handle it because they it's planned out.
35:42
Speaker 2: It's a coordinated uh event if you will, and they
35:47
Speaker 2: just take over a whole area and just loot and
35:50
Speaker 2: do whatever they want for a short period of time.
35:52
Speaker 2: It's it's almost done as like like a surprise attack ambush.
35:57
Speaker 5: So the consequences what's going to happen if they continue that? Right,
36:02
Speaker 5: they know what's going to happen Eventually, what, well, it's
36:06
Speaker 5: gonna get violent. I mean eventually the cops are going
36:09
Speaker 5: to coordinate and you're gonna whip it out, tear gas
36:12
Speaker 5: and all that kind of stuff to handle that situation.
36:15
Speaker 5: I mean, you come into a group like that, it
36:19
Speaker 5: usually gets ugly after a while. And I mean, I
36:21
Speaker 5: know we live in the soft touch times, but eventually
36:25
Speaker 5: you have to say, Okay, we can't keep this going
36:28
Speaker 5: because then other people are going to continue and then
36:30
Speaker 5: you have chaos, you know, So do they understand the
36:35
Speaker 5: repercussions of their actions. It's eventually going to happen I mean,
36:38
Speaker 5: with the technology, it's not like they can't go get
36:40
Speaker 5: them later. You know, they're gonna get you eventually. It
36:44
Speaker 5: always comes around. So I don't know much about it, but.
36:48
Speaker 6: It sounds pretty stupid. It sounds like you guys need
36:50
Speaker 6: something to do.
36:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you up with the the story that's uh
36:59
Speaker 2: pretty high right now? Well, I don't know, so let.
37:03
Speaker 5: Me remind you, JD. I tend to not do much
37:05
Speaker 5: of the news and stuff like that because that's really
37:08
Speaker 5: trying to you know, you know.
37:09
Speaker 6: How I feel.
37:11
Speaker 2: Uh, there's a big story right now. I would I
37:13
Speaker 2: don't know, if i'd say it's hot, I would say
37:15
Speaker 2: it's warm and getting warmer.
37:17
Speaker 3: Uh.
37:18
Speaker 2: VT Digger is doing an investigation into uh the Burlington
37:24
Speaker 2: police using excessive force against against black residents.
37:39
Speaker 5: Okay, wait is it only black residents?
37:42
Speaker 2: That's what the investigation is surrounding.
37:47
Speaker 6: Right, Well, that's that seems or city.
37:51
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously if there you don't need to be
37:54
Speaker 5: using force if you don't need it. But I do
37:57
Speaker 5: notice a lot of times people don't understand that when
38:00
Speaker 5: when a cop is doing an investigation, you are to
38:02
Speaker 5: listen and do what you're told, and we try to
38:05
Speaker 5: resist at all and try to pretend you know what's
38:08
Speaker 5: going on because you've listened to social media. It's ugly,
38:13
Speaker 5: But it's the fact that they're targeting. Are we sure
38:16
Speaker 5: they're targeting black people? That sucks and that's not I
38:18
Speaker 5: thought we were past that ship. Yeah, I mean it
38:23
Speaker 5: is that that kind of behavior just gives That's why
38:26
Speaker 5: we all have to be so careful all the time
38:28
Speaker 5: because of these idiots. It's ridiculous. I really hope that's
38:33
Speaker 5: not the case and it just happens to be a coincidence.
38:37
Speaker 5: No matter what, it's gonna look bad for the white man,
38:40
Speaker 5: no matter what.
38:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, great, agree, you.
38:44
Speaker 5: Gotta we got tips that you can't be doing. Stupid ship.
38:47
Speaker 5: But again, if if it allows the law, and they
38:51
Speaker 5: don't matter what your skin is, you know, if you're
38:52
Speaker 5: breaking it, you're gonna get it. But if you're using
38:55
Speaker 5: an obsessive force towards a certain culture, that's that's worse. Ship.
39:00
Speaker 2: Bullshit ud chucky Uh real quick take on on this
39:09
Speaker 2: sad news. Sad news that we have lost another local
39:15
Speaker 2: person two drugs arid in overdose at the park and
39:23
Speaker 2: ride near Dog River Park a couple of days ago.
39:27
Speaker 2: A couple of days ago.
39:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that it's too bad.
39:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know that you've lived down that way,
39:39
Speaker 2: you lived right right.
39:43
Speaker 3: I know.
39:46
Speaker 2: We're gonna be having more discussions about this. I gotta
39:50
Speaker 2: get Geno in here.
39:52
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, we need to have a day where it's
39:56
Speaker 5: just the three of us and just one of those
39:58
Speaker 5: days where it's just unleashed. You know what I'm saying
40:02
Speaker 5: that a day where you just you know, don't tune
40:03
Speaker 5: in if you got sensitive ears, because they're just gonna
40:06
Speaker 5: be real.
40:07
Speaker 3: You.
40:07
Speaker 2: You have some very strong opinions about strong drugs, the
40:14
Speaker 2: market in Vermont, what's happening, the trajectory of our state,
40:22
Speaker 2: in how we're dealing with this. We're responding to this
40:26
Speaker 2: not only from a local law enforcement perspective, but also legislatively.
40:33
Speaker 2: More discussion needs to be had about this.
40:35
Speaker 3: This is well.
40:36
Speaker 5: What needs to be done is people need to stop
40:38
Speaker 5: playing dumb and stop pretending like you don't see it,
40:41
Speaker 5: or you don't know or be surprised or or you know,
40:45
Speaker 5: everybody sees and knows what's going on. Everybody knows who's
40:49
Speaker 5: pushing it in, everybody knows who's closing their eyes and
40:52
Speaker 5: nobody does anything. We've talked about this.
40:55
Speaker 6: You know, everybody's known.
40:57
Speaker 5: For forty years who the main problem is what he
41:00
Speaker 5: does anything.
41:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's my biggest thing is stop.
41:04
Speaker 5: Pretending like you don't know there's a problem when you've
41:07
Speaker 5: been watching it. You know who's bringing it in for
41:09
Speaker 5: fucking years.
41:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, Yeah. But anyways, Yeah, a great point. Listen, man,
41:17
Speaker 2: I haven't seen you in a very long time. I
41:21

41:28
Speaker 5: send me little things through the messenger, and he's been
41:31

41:36
Speaker 5: or boy bitch day or however you want to say it,
41:38
Speaker 5: and have a good unleashing.

Speaker 2: doesn't send you something, if he if he doesn't send
41:51
Speaker 2: you a reel or anything after a while, does that
41:55
Speaker 2: make you feel like maybe G's upset with me.
41:59
Speaker 6: I could be some type of thing.
42:01
Speaker 5: Maybe I might have offended him or something. But you know,
42:05
Speaker 5: he's a sensitive, sensitive gentleman, and also he might.
42:10
Speaker 2: Feel the same but he might feel the same way
42:13
Speaker 2: if he doesn't receive anything from Chucky for a little while.
42:15
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
42:16
Speaker 5: We normally if you don't hear pretty thing from me,
42:18
Speaker 5: it's because I'm just trying not to be annoying. Not
42:20
Speaker 5: much for conversation, but you know, I'll find these little
42:24
Speaker 5: mojis that made me think of you and think, hey,
