  Speaker 1: to a brand new day. It is so beautiful out there.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: The sun is shining. You're on North Main Street in Barry, Vermont,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and I'm just so happy to be with you this morning.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Coffee's hot, feeling good, fully dressed, not half naked like
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I normally am, um, Did I just say that? Showered, caffeinated,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and ready to go. Thanks for tuning in this morning.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Thanks for getting your day started with me. Thanks for
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: just connecting with me here at Fly on the Wall
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Productions and the Airedown Podcast on North Main Street in Barrie. Yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: look it out. I'm seeing lots of traffic going by.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing some smiling faces and people laughing. And one
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: guy just a little while ago sitting on the park
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: bench here. I wish he was still there. Just with a,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you could see the steam coming up out of his
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: coffee cup and just leaning back with the sunshine in
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: his face. That's a great way to start the day.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: We're on the web at airedoutvt.com. I don't know if
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you've had a chance to hop on and watch. Have
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a look at our website, but please do. We've got
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to talk about. First of all,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: what do you think of these glasses from Optical Expressions?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Do you like them? I'm thinking about getting another pair,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and I've been looking at some options, and not that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I don't love these. I love these. I wear them
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: every day. Screwed without them. But I'm looking at some
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: different styles. Just have another pair around. I find that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: these I need here at the studio, but back at
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the house, I'm getting yelled at all the time. I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: can't believe you can't see that. So we'll see what happens.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: But maybe I'll get over there on the fourth floor
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of the Blanchard Block in Barrie and send you some
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: pictures of... what I'm thinking about for the new specs.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. So much to talk about. Does
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: anybody know what's going to be, and I'm serious here,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: what's going to be done with all of the political
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: signs after Tuesday? How many political signs are there in Vermont? Billions? Billions? Millions? Trillions?
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Hundreds of thousands? What do you think? Really? I mean, realistically,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it's probably, what, tens of thousands? What do you guess?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Or as Sherilyn says, what do you reckon? And what's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: going to be done with all of these signs afterwards?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Are the candidates going to be going around and collecting
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: them and pulling them up off of lawns and roadsides everywhere?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And then if so, what's going to happen with them next?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Do they have friends, family, volunteers, supporters helping them out?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: will these signs all be ground up recycled? I don't know.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I honestly, I don't know. I was just curious. I
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: was just wondering about that this morning while I was
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: driving in. I'll tell you what's in my mailbox though.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: My God, look at this. I mean, there's just one
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: political ad after another. They're everywhere. Um, I wonder what
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the price tag is for all of these. I wonder
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: how much this... Oh, EC Fiber. What this kind of
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: stuff is costing. There's got to be an incredible price
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: tag on this. This one. Did you see this one? Oh, God. Ah. Man, sunshine,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: daytime highs today. Are we breaking records? Probably 68 degrees.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Then maybe some showers on the early side of tonight.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I'm saying maybe. We'll get down around 49. A special
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: weather statement that just came through. We have a fire
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: danger statement from the National Weather Service issued yesterday. just
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a couple of hours ago, and it covers most of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Vermont except the Connecticut River Valley and parts of southern Vermont.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: The details, here we go. Southwest winds 10 to 15
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: miles per hour with gusts around 20 to 35 miles
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: per hour in the Champlain Valley. The humidity is super low.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: These are all the things they take into factor, 45
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to 50% relative humidity, so low. temperatures, 60 to 68,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: somewhere in that ballpark. So we got warm temperatures, we
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: got low humidity, we got a drought going on, drying
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: out the, what do they call it, leaf litter. So
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: if any fires start, the National Weather Service is saying
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: it's pretty much a guarantee that it's going to spread quickly. So,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: If you're bonfiring on Halloween or whatever this weekend, just
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: be like super, super, super careful because things can get
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: out of control very quickly. It happened to me a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Huge embarrassment. Huge embarrassment for me.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if you've heard this story, but
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: if you have, you know what I'm talking about. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: if you haven't, I don't know that I want to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: share it again on the air. It was horrible. But
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: in short, this is this weather statement from the National
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Weather Service. And a lot of us, when we hear this,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: we're like, oh, that's got to be a storm. It's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: not a storm. It's just a heads up that any
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: outdoor fire today could spread fast. All right. So, again,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: sunny skies, 68 today. Going to be beautiful. Chilly tonight.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Hold on. No, not tonight. 49. That's great.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: That's a fantastic temperature. No matter where you are, what
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you're doing. Maybe you're running over to Jimsville's Haunted Barn
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: or carving for Kay. That's a pretty good forecast. Again,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: just a slight possibility of a passing shower moving through
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: on the early side of tonight. Okay. Tomorrow, Friday, mostly cloudy, 53.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Still real, real nice for this time of year. Saturday, Halloween,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: mostly sunny. A little cooler. Highs around 44. 25 for
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Halloween night, so bundle up. Get the kids dressed up
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: warmly if they're going to be out trick-or-treating. Okay? I'm
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: not seeing any snow in the forecast, though, for Halloween night,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: so that's good. Happy birthday today to, let's see, Frank Campbell,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Daryl Stone, Brandi Burke, Kate Lewis, all in the birthday
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: list today. Road construction report from V-Trans. Looks like 89,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: same deal. They're resurfacing from exit 10 and exit 8,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that whole area. Expect southbound lane closures until 4 o'clock
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: this afternoon, about a mile north of exit 8. Keep
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the speed in check. 89 paving in the Bethel-Brookfield area.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Good morning. Getting a wave here. other side of the glass.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Single lane closures, 55 mile per hour. That's going on
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: until 6 p.m. tonight. Bethel, Brookfield area on 89 if
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you're traveling. Exit 3, Royalton. The bridge work there, what
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a pain in the ass. I'm just saying. It is.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: That whole area. And that's going to, what now? I'm
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: just seeing that bridge work at Exit 3, Royalton, big bridge,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: is going to continue through the fall of 2027. What now?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: With width restrictions. Fall of 2027. I thought they were
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: buttoning that up a lot sooner. That sucks. But what
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: is that? The White River, right? That's a wide one.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: So I'm not, part of me is not surprised, but God,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: it's anyway, a world series last night. I don't know
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: if you saw it. I was thrilled to hear the news.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to watch it, but the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers champions for the first time in franchise history.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And I said a couple of weeks ago, I'd like, yeah,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: maybe three, three or four weeks ago, something like that,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that I would love to see Milwaukee. I like to,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I tend to lean toward the underdog, um, that I
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: would love to see them win. And they did, which
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: is so great. They beat the Tampa Bay race four
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to one game five last night. They took the series
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: four to one, uh, Thursday night football tonight. We got
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the Panthers and Packers streaming on prime video. Um, Hope
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to see a little bit of that. We got the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Bruins tonight at St. Louis, 8 p.m. at the Enterprise Center.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: We got the Patriots playing Sunday at Miami, 325 in
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the afternoon. Local, sports, rice. The boys shutting out U32
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: for zip yesterday. And I want to just give some
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: kudos and some love to Lily's team, the Waits River
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Valley School Wildcats last night. Final soccer game of the season.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: And they took on a really tough team, Williamstown, which
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: was made up of all girls. Saldy Field last night. And, man,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you, everybody on the Waits River side was
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: so impressed with that Williamstown team last night. Those kids,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: not only are they super tough, but they're super talented.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And big props to whoever their coach is. But holy crap,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: was that a fun game last night. Low scoring? Yeah,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I know. Tense. And Waits River, our team, got lucky, frankly.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: With a pass from Lily to Chris. Chris shooting for goal. Barely,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: barely getting, it was Ryan that tipped it in. And
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't for Ryan, that ball would have rolled
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: just past the goal post last night. It went in.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And yeah, we went wild. And it was one zip.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: The final. Wildcats got the game last night. But just
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: a big, big kudos to Williamstown. Man, those, and it
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: was all girls. Not that it should matter. But those
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: girls were freaking tough, man, last night. Any parents that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: are listening from Williamstown that have a kid on that team,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Very impressed last night. And I also want to say this,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and maybe you know the answer to this, and if
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: you do, you can drop it in the comments, because
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I'd like to know. I really would. I was thinking
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: this last night. JD, you kind of Googled it. I'd
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: like to know who it was, who it is that's
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: responsible for putting those lights up at salty field in
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Williamstown because whoever it is, and I'm, I'm assuming it's
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a good group of, of people. Um, and I don't
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: know when those lights went up, but man, were we
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: spoiled last night to have those lights and it looked incredible.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: You could see everything on that field and, uh, If
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I ever find out who it is that installed those
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: lights up there, whoever fundraised for it or whatever they
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: had to do, I'd like to personally thank them because
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: we're not used to that kind of stuff. Frankly, we're spoiled.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, we are so privileged to have a small
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: sports area like Salty Field in Williamstown with lights installed.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: That was cool. I was so impressed last night when
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I saw that. So if you know anybody in Williamstown
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that's responsible for getting those lights put in, and I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: don't know when that happened. I don't know how long
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: ago that happened. But if you know anyone, please tell
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: them that we're talking about them on Aired Out and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: we're thanking them because it was incredible. Biggest headlines that
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: are trending this morning, I heard about this last night,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: but now I'm I read a little bit more about
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: it this morning. The two high-speed trains that collided in Spain.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: 68 people killed. Hundreds injured. One train was running over
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: 120 miles per hour and hit a second train that
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: was Stopped on the tracks. Wow. You know, in the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: brief conversation that I had with a friend last night
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: was how in the hell can something like this happen?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: And this is the second time in Spain. With all
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of the technology that we have, it just seems like
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: this could have easily been prevented. I don't know. I
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: don't know anything about the rail system, but I know
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: that it's one track, and we can only have one
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: train on it at a time. I mean, it seems
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: pretty simple. But a train running... just over 120 miles
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: per hour, hitting a stopped train on the tracks. What
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a tragedy. Israel's election ended without a clear governing majority yesterday.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Exit polls showing voters split and neither Prime Minister Netanyahu's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: block nor the opposition's were able to claim victory. What's
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: that going to do to the whole situation? How's that
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: going to play into things? It's so tragic to see
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: this war continue to spiral out of control. It's amazing.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Things aren't getting better. In Brazil... Oh, man. I don't
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: even want to cover that story. I really don't. Everything...
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: It's like all of the world headlines that I'm reading...
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Everything's a cluster right now. Not... J.D., don't be so negative.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's see. Record high tides flooded coastal communities
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: on both U.S. coasts. Yeah. We've got the full moon
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: up there that's not helping. Yeah. What else do we have?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Glad nobody was hurt. Here's what happened last night at
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the Trap Family Lodge. And thanks, Taylor, for bringing this up.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: A call came in around... 7.20 for a working fire
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: at Trap Hill Road. The quote that dispatch got was
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: heavy fire from the main lodge, which, of course, scared
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of people. That turned out to not be correct.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: The fire was at a couple of the villas. Villas
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: 11 and 12. One connected building with two villas was
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: also involved. About a half mile from the main lodge.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Flames were through the roof. in some of the photos
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: that were going around on social media, which happens quickly,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: mutual aid from Waterbury, Morrisville, Hyde Park, Cambridge, and Johnson
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: were all unseen. Um, that's a, that's a massive response
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: as it should be. Um, But that's huge. Everything apparently
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: under control as of about 8.30 last night. Crews were
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: there through most of the night putting water on it
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: and hitting it hard to keep it from reigniting. And,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you know, this is, they know how dry things are.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: They know. about this special weather statement coming in from
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the National Weather Service saying that the high winds, the
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: low humidity, the dry conditions, the drought that we're under,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the things are really risky right now. They know that.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: So things could have very easily gone south last night.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Thank God we've got water and thank God we've got uh,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: some rivers close by to pull from, which was happening, uh, with, uh,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: some of these tankers. Um, all guests are safe. Everybody's fine.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: The lodge itself was not affected. When, when did it
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: burn down again? Was it 1985? When that, when the,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: when the original lodge burned down, I think it was
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: mid eighties sometime. Um, the cause is still under investigation. Um,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm watching the story to see if we have
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: any information about, uh, the extent of the damage, but scary. Uh,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: everybody's out fine. And again, uh, the main lodge untouched. So, um, Taylor,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: thanks for the reminder on that. It was a huge,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: huge story last night. And I was busy running around
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: doing all kinds of things. I invested just about two
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: hours of my life last night. Actually, it was a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: little bit more. It was like two hours and 15
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: minutes at Applebee's. But once I survived that experience... I
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: got to carving for Kay on Rudd Farm Road. And
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I got a chance to see Ruth and Sarah and
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Kevin and brought with me some students from Waits River
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Valley School who were some of the carvers of these
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: jack-o'-lanterns on display. And they got to see their work
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: their creativity in person, which was really awesome. They were
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: looking for their jack-o'-lanterns amongst a field of around 350.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: And they each found their jack-o'-lantern. Lit up. Thank you
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: for the donations, by the way, of lights. But enough
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: fairy lights. were donated, and all of the pumpkins were
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: lit up and looked so beautiful last night. I don't
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: know if you got a chance to see me live
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: streaming from Carving for K last night. If you didn't,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I'll be doing it again. And a big, huge tip
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: of the hat to all of those that donated not
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: only pumpkins... Lighthouse Hill Farm up in Williamstown, my God,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: gave me a whole truckload of pumpkins that I delivered
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: to the Waits River Valley School for the kids to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: carve up. Sophie and Seth, you guys are amazing. And
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: those kids loved those pumpkins. They're the old wrinkly ones,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: you know, the ones that look like, you know, like
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: an old person. I don't know what that style of
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: pumpkin is called, but the kids loved him. They laughed
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: so hard. Said it looked like me. And it's not
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: just Lighthouse Hill Farm in Williamstown. So many others helped
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: out and donated. Ruth was telling us Wabi Jewelers, Danfecto,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: And that's just some of it. And the Girl Scouts
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: that got up there and were carving and helping. There's loading, unloading, carving, gutting, cutting,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: fairy lights. There's a lot, you know, placing the jack-o'-lanterns
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: just so. There's a lot going in logistically to something
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: like this to pull off. And it was just fantastic.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I know, I'm on a rant here. Before I forget,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: and I hope I don't, I got to give you
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: an update on 20 stores in 20 days. We're winded
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: down here. We have a couple of days left. I
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: want to mention briefly here the story that is, pardon
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the pun here, with the fire damage or fire warnings.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: The story that has literally caught on fire here about
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Berry City police officer Matthew Frey, who has been placed
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: on administrative leave and that the criminal cases that he's
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: involved with are being dismissed after he reportedly sought out
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: sexual conduct with a defendant. So let me first just
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: say this. I've seen as many of the media reports
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: as I can. I'm trying to keep up with it.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: It has flooded the local social media. When I say local,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I mean Vermont. It's a huge, huge story. Nobody wants
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: a corrupt cop in their community. No one. And let
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: me say this. The last thing that I would ever do, ever,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and I want to make this abundantly clear, is defend...
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: a crooked cop or defend someone who is acting irresponsibly, inappropriately, dangerously, whatever.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: So I'm most certainly not defending Matthew Frey. I say
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: this with, with responsibility. that it is always important to remember,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: as somebody posted, that these are allegations and not proven findings.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: This investigation, I'm guessing, is going to take a while
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and it's going to pick up momentum and it's going
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: to get messier and messier. And I'm guessing that there
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: will be some that will defend this police officer, former
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: police officer. And I saw a little bit of that
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: last night. Defending his character. Media pushed yesterday that Orange
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: County State's Attorney Colin Seaman issued a Brady letter saying
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: that his office has reason to believe that Frey had
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: sexual relations with a woman that he had arrested while
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: her criminal case was still pending. Does that raise some
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: credibility issues? You bet your ass. This is a messy,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: messy thing here. I think that there are a lot
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: of cases, there's a lot of people that are thrilled
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: that this is happening because they're getting off. Digger alone
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: reported dozens. That's dozens with an S on the end.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: of cases that are currently now in limbo related to
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Matthew Frey. WCAX reported 50, five zero, 50 cases that
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: have been completely tossed out. 50. Vermont Public is reporting
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: dozens of cases are under review. That's a lot. That's
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a lot. How this is going to shake out, God
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: only knows. I don't think it's going to be going
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: away anytime soon. And I understand that there's a big
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: investigation going on. And I understand that the media and
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: many of us are foaming at the mouth waiting for
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: details about Matthew Frey and what's happening and what happened
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and what's going to happen. Vermont Daily Chronicle posted up
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: some social media last night or yesterday with some photographs too.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: So listen, it's important to remember that this kind of
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: stuff can happen anywhere and it can happen in small
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: town Vermont. And it did. How surprised should all of
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: us be? And I asked, I asked that question from, uh,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: from my heart and a little bit from my head,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: but really, how surprised should we be? Well, we're small
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: town Vermont. Everybody knows everybody. We should be held to
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: high standards or higher standards. But I ask you, how stunned, really,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: how stunned were you when you heard about this Berry
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: City police officer, Matthew Frey? Could it have been something worse? Listen,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: corruption lies in many different ways. Where's Many different faces.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I think that our community has taken a little bit
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: of a hit. I think our local police department has
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: some PR work that needs to be done. They know that,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: they well know, Because I make it very well known
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: that they've always got a microphone here waiting for them
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: if they would like to get anything out publicly. Chief
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Vail is reminded of that often by me. And I'm
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: not going to press him. But he knows that if
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: he wants to get something out there, beyond social media,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: beyond a written post, he knows where to come. But yeah.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: And I know a lot of viewers are like, well,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: they're just going to backpedal it and blah, blah, blah,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: dust it under the rug. Let's see. Let's see. What's
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: going to happen here? Will this story fizzle out? Will it...
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: lose its luster? Will we forget about it? Or will
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: it be extremely public and alive in our community for
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: some time? Transparency is massive. Accountability is massive. Let's see
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: what happens. Let's try really hard not to overreact on
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: social media, not to overreact in our heads, in our minds.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Think objectively. Take a step back, deep breath. Don't react
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: with your keyboard. Take your time. before you write something.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: And look at things as objectively as you can. Is
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: it a huge story? You bet. Is it going to
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: go away? I don't know. I wonder. But there's, I mean,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: look at this. Dozens of cases in limbo. 50 cases
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: completely tossed out. And dozens of cases under review. This is,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of residual that's going on here with
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: this story. I see that, I see some comments coming in. Just, again,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: keep them coming. I want to hear what you have
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: to say. U.S., Route 5 last night in Wells River,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Newberry area. Closed near Bible Hill Road. Crews worked a
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: huge crash last night. VT Alert was going nuts with it.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Long delays expected. Dispatch audio transcript of the response, which
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: I read. early this morning, described a single car crash
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: with a trapped female driver. I don't really know much
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: more than that. I don't know that I really need
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: to know much more than that, other than it was
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: a horrible crash. I hope that this woman is alive,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: and I hope that she's okay, whoever she is, and
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: that her family is Okay, as well. I hate seeing
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: stuff like this. Just like I hated seeing that the
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: interstate was recently closed from another crash. We got to
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: slow down. We got to pay attention, especially in construction areas.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: What else is going on in Vermont? Vermont and Nova
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Scotia signing a three-year agreement to explore bringing Nova Scotia
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: offshore wind power. to Vermont's grid connections. Huh. No specific projects, timelines,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: or money that's been announced with this, but that's one
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: that I'm going to be paying attention to. Let's see.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: We have the $ 15. 3 million funding package that Vermont just
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: approved to expand home heating aid and crisis fuel programs. Wow. $ 15. 3 million.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Election Day on Tuesday. Governor Phil Scott. reminding and urging
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Vermonters to keep calm, keep things civil. I guess there's
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: been some stories that have made their rounds through social
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: media about some pretty heated confrontations between voters and town
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: clerks lately, and our governor reminding everybody to just take
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: a deep breath. Go to the polls. If you're not
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: happy about something, Exercise that with your vote. Okay? Let's see.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: What else do we have going on in Vermont? Just
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: glancing here. Oh, the four-day muzzleloader season for antlerless deer
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: opens today. Runs through November 1st, which is after tomorrow.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Is it Saturday? No, Sunday. Sunday is the first. Wow.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: November 1st. Vermont State Police have arrested Terry Williams, he's
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: the state senator from Pulteney, for an alleged assault against
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: a family member. Plead not guilty to misdemeanor domestic assault charge.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Political career over? That's my question. Probably. Probably. can happen
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: to any of us. Barry Unified School Board. Boy, are
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: those buzzwords. The fourth budget proposal of the year. Going
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: 100 miles an hour straight forward toward a vote. Do
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: you think the critics have been a little quieter? It
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: seems that way. All I'm saying is it seems like that.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. What say you? $ 56. 6 million. Will it
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: be the magic number at this time? $ 56. 6 million. Wow. Man,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: we got a lot of stuff going on, don't we, though, locally?
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: National news. We got the Federal Reserve. Held interest rates
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: steady among inflation. Hey, there's great news, Glenn. Just a
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: couple of days before the midterms. We have the House
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Judiciary Democrats releasing a report alleging ties between Trump and
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. You're kidding me. Along with claims of a
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Justice Department cover-up. Really? Stunned. I know G's going to
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: be tomorrow morning. New York Times reported that the campaign
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: of Alaska's Democratic candidate Mary Peltola recruited a candidate with
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: the same name as the Republican incumbent in an effort
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: to confuse voters. I'm stunned. I'm also being sarcastic. Surprised
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: by this? Let's see. An attempted kidnapping in Hawaii in
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: broad daylight, all caught on surveillance camera. I haven't seen
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: that video yet. But that's apparently a story that's got
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: some national legs this morning. And, of course, the manhunt,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: and I mentioned this yesterday, for the convicted killer who
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: escaped from prison in Tennessee, that manhunt continues. just really freaky.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Anytime there's a prison break, especially from a maximum security facility,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: I always scratch my head and say, how in the
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: hell is that possible? Crazy stuff. Community news. We've got
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on. We talked an awful
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: lot this morning about Carving for K, Ruth Weeks, Hopping
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: on the Airdow podcast this morning, a little later than
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: when we were talking about it, but it was just
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: incredible to see last night. And 350 pumpkins crushing last
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: year's record, which was like 200 and something. But it'll
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: be back on tonight at dark. That's when things will
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: be glowing. And it looks amazing. It just really does.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Get over there. Wheels for warmth. We've got tire drop-offs
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: going on today and tomorrow from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: at the Vermont Granite Museum in Barrie. And, of course,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: the big sale on Saturday morning. 8 a.m. is when
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: it starts in Barrie and at Casella Construction in Pittsburgh.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: So if you have some old tires that are laying around,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: maybe you know that they're bad, or maybe you're questioning
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: whether they're bad. Just bring them today over at the
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Vermont Granite Museum in Barrie. And V-Trans is right there.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Department of Transportation, DMV, they're all right there. They're going
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: to be checking those tires, and if they're safe, If
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: they're deemed safe, they will be sold. And if they're not,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: they'll be chipped up right there. Casella's got the shredder,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: and they're going to take care of those tires the
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: right way so that they don't end up in our
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: rivers and streams and roadsides. This is such an incredible event.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Year number 22, Wheels for Warmth. $ 30 cap. on tires.

• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning, 8 a.m. till noon. 10 o'clock I think

• 47:15

• 49:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the Glow Ride is. I think

• 49:09
  Speaker 1: glow on their bikes, bicycles. and having fun with an
• 49:18
