0:34
Speaker 2: little podcast because two days the day that we are
0:38
Speaker 2: gonna shove this Milford music on the patios down the
0:44
Speaker 2: Frenchman's throat tonight at town Hall. And I have no
0:47
Speaker 2: better guest with me right now than mister Johnny Gibbs himself.
0:50
Speaker 1: The I call you like, you're probably one of the
0:52
Speaker 1: most uh lovers.
0:54
Speaker 2: Of outdoor music music in general, but like you love
0:57
Speaker 2: going to see all the all the stuff at Stonebridge
0:59
Speaker 2: and all the other you know, not just Stonebridge of course,
1:02
Speaker 2: but all the other stuff that you like, uh, you
1:04
Speaker 2: got going on, So thanks for coming on real quick.
1:06
Speaker 1: Now.
1:06
Speaker 2: We are literally heading over to town Hall, you know
1:08
Speaker 2: after this, uh. And I've been seeing a lot of
1:13
Speaker 2: feedback online of a lot of people are showing up tonight,
1:15
Speaker 2: showing out, and it.
1:16
Speaker 3: Sounds like it's going to be an incredible crowd.
1:18
Speaker 1: I can't wait.
1:19
Speaker 2: I mean, like, like like Stonemer's needs any more promotion,
1:22
Speaker 2: that's how fucking dumb this guy is. And I'm like,
1:24
Speaker 2: you're gonna speak from my fucking heart and my fucking
1:27
Speaker 2: dumb ass out of mine tonight, because when Phil was
1:30
Speaker 2: on a couple of weeks ago, I was very I know,
1:32
Speaker 2: he wanted to be diplomatic and he wanted to be
1:35
Speaker 2: you know, political, not political, but you know what I mean.
1:38
Speaker 1: They want to be political and.
1:39
Speaker 2: Wanted to you know, he's a very loving person and
1:44
Speaker 2: he wouldn't even say a bad word about David. I
1:45
Speaker 2: am the opposite. I think this guy has bitten off
1:48
Speaker 2: more than he can chew.
1:50
Speaker 3: So I think Phil's all about relationship, and of course
1:52
Speaker 3: he is, of course he is. And honestly, you have
1:54
Speaker 3: to be that downtown like you're you have everyone's it's
1:57
Speaker 3: a community down there, so you want to keep your.
2:02
Speaker 1: Relationships, you know good.
2:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get him doing that, and I think I.
2:08
Speaker 2: Think we dispelled all the rumors with the last show
2:11
Speaker 2: about really what's going on, and it is. It is
2:13
Speaker 2: just kind of a specific zone where like US and
2:15
Speaker 2: Cape Atlantique and the New Blind Rhino is in. I'm
2:18
Speaker 2: not sure if it even extends over to like Archie Morris.
2:20
Speaker 2: I might have a little acoustic thing, but really it
2:22
Speaker 2: didn't matter. He was just target targeting stone Bridge. He
2:24
Speaker 2: was the only one that was listed in the season
2:26
Speaker 2: desist orders that were given out was just one, and
2:29
Speaker 2: that was to us. No one else got it wasn't
2:32
Speaker 2: going to affect the porch fests or the oyster fests,
2:36
Speaker 2: or the Irish Fest or any of that kind of
2:37
Speaker 2: fest that we have a lot of fests in Milford.
2:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another thing that is pretty cool about this town.
2:43
Speaker 3: That's why it's so sad, like this is it. We've
2:45
Speaker 3: we've gotten to this level because our entire downtown summer
2:50
Speaker 3: is centered around music, centered around just being together as
2:54
Speaker 3: a community. And it's just amazing to me that we're
2:57
Speaker 3: we're having to do this tonight, right.
2:59
Speaker 2: So yeah, so if you if you're late to the table,
3:01
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of questions online of what's
3:03
Speaker 2: going on tonight. I know we're only two hours from
3:06
Speaker 2: going down. So I'm gonna post this as soon as
3:08
Speaker 2: I can and hopefully get out to some people that
3:10
Speaker 2: if you're downtown tonight around seven o'clock, just walk over
3:13
Speaker 2: to the town Hall. I don't know really how I
3:15
Speaker 2: mean it. You know, can be anywhere from you know,
3:18
Speaker 2: forty people to four hundred. I really don't know, you know,
3:20
Speaker 2: I have no idea what's going to happen tonight, but
3:23
Speaker 2: I am looking forward to, uh to seeing some familiar
3:26
Speaker 2: faces before the summer really gets kicked off.
3:28
Speaker 1: Now we already lost.
3:30
Speaker 2: So last Saturday was supposed to be the Spring Fling
3:33
Speaker 2: and that was shot down. With like ten other bands,
3:36
Speaker 2: we do it every year. It supports breast cancer another thing.
3:40
Speaker 2: Like a lot of these you know bands we have
3:42
Speaker 2: aren't just like you know, Stonebridge making money there. You know,
3:46
Speaker 2: they're they're for charity events and and that just brings
3:49
Speaker 2: people downtown.
3:50
Speaker 1: And I just I'm like, just.
3:53
Speaker 3: A community man.
3:54
Speaker 1: I don't Again, I won't.
3:56
Speaker 3: That's why I don't understand why this guy's has got
4:00
Speaker 3: to this level, because it's just like, you know, a
4:02
Speaker 3: majority of the stuff that we've or that stone Bridge
4:06
Speaker 3: has done has been community based and you know, doing
4:10
Speaker 3: fundraising and things like that, and I just it doesn't
4:15
Speaker 3: make any sense to me. I just don't get it.
4:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean there's a lot of things
4:19
Speaker 2: I heard which I won't talk about on the show
4:21
Speaker 2: because that's not fair to anybody. And I don't want
4:23
Speaker 2: to accuse anybody of their motives. But you know, you
4:28
Speaker 2: can believe some of them and not believe others. But
4:31
Speaker 2: there is some kind of ulterior motive going on with
4:34
Speaker 2: Dave and the owner of Pietro bask and El Barrio
4:39
Speaker 2: attacking stone Bridge. I mean we used to get along.
4:42
Speaker 2: We used to you know, we've been neighbors for twenty
4:45
Speaker 2: something years. I don't know if it's just because he
4:48
Speaker 2: has apartments up top and he's worried about I mean,
4:52
Speaker 2: anybody in their right mind as you move into a
4:54
Speaker 2: downtown area, especially as awesome as downtown Milford is, it's
4:57
Speaker 2: you know, the summers might be a little noisy, but.
4:59
Speaker 1: But that's where you want, right, That's why you live
5:01
Speaker 1: down right, because.
5:02
Speaker 3: You want that, Like, you know, you want the ability
5:06
Speaker 3: to like, you know, open up your window and hear
5:09
Speaker 3: you know, downtown and music. And I just I mean
5:13
Speaker 3: to me, it's.
5:14
Speaker 2: Like, if you don't want any in that, like you,
5:16
Speaker 2: I think you should be smart enough to move into
5:17
Speaker 2: a quiet neighborhood. Yeah, exactly, Especially the prices people pay
5:21
Speaker 2: to move downtown.
5:22
Speaker 1: You at least got to know that for.
5:24
Speaker 2: One thousand dollars less at least a month, you can
5:27
Speaker 2: go live in a quieter neighborhood.
5:29
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:29
Speaker 2: So, like I don't understand, Like, and it should be
5:32
Speaker 2: a young you know, affluent kind of people that move
5:36
Speaker 2: in and you know that in their twenties, and you know,
5:40
Speaker 2: they can say twenty years or now.
5:42
Speaker 1: I used to live in down downtown Milford.
5:43
Speaker 2: You know, it was pretty cool back then, and hopefully
5:45
Speaker 2: in twenty years it's still the same.
5:47
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:47
Speaker 2: And I think Stonebridge and we've I think we've I
5:51
Speaker 2: think Actually Mark Lofthouse, I'll give him a shout out.
5:53
Speaker 1: He I just was just reading it on Facebook.
5:56
Speaker 2: He used to be on the Planning and Zoning Commission
5:58
Speaker 2: back twenty years ago.
6:00
Speaker 1: First started a bit about U. Yeah, and he's posting
6:03
Speaker 1: right now.
6:03
Speaker 2: He's like, you know, guys, just you know, property values
6:05
Speaker 2: and business values and everything like this. You know, twenty
6:09
Speaker 2: five years ago, this thirty years ago, this Milford.
6:12
Speaker 1: Wasn't really anything like it is today exactly.
6:14
Speaker 2: And Stonebridge was one of the leaders, one of the
6:16
Speaker 2: forefronts of that, amongst other places, of course, but like
6:19
Speaker 2: as far as the outdoor patio and the music and
6:21
Speaker 2: all that, and uh again, it's like this footloose moment
6:25
Speaker 2: I feel coming on tonight when we get to town hall.
6:27
Speaker 2: I mean, do you think do you I mean, what
6:29
Speaker 2: do you think the percentage of people for Stonebridge to
6:32
Speaker 2: people against Stonebridge would be bait tonight.
6:33
Speaker 3: I mean what I'm seeing on like you know, social
6:36
Speaker 3: media is like a majority of the people that are
6:39
Speaker 3: commenting are for it. Like everyone's just like, what is
6:43
Speaker 3: what is the big deal? It's in a controlled environment.
6:46
Speaker 3: Stonebridge has done a great job of doing you know,
6:49
Speaker 3: crowd control and having police presence and all that kind
6:52
Speaker 3: of stuff.
6:53
Speaker 2: Which is I'm glad you brought that up because a
6:54
Speaker 2: lot of people are like they just like to shit
6:56
Speaker 2: on us because you know, they they hear about a
6:58
Speaker 2: fight in Milford and they just assume at Stonebridge.
7:01
Speaker 1: Another problem has is parents, man, they just don't get
7:04
Speaker 1: There's like.
7:04
Speaker 2: Stock photos that like Channel eight has or News twelve has,
7:08
Speaker 2: and it's like of Stonebridge then the cop car outside.
7:11
Speaker 2: So when there's something happens at downtown Milford, they use
7:14
Speaker 2: the stock photo.
7:15
Speaker 1: So when thinks it's stone Bridge, it's like we're like, dude,
7:17
Speaker 1: wait a second, it's not all was on us last night.
7:20
Speaker 1: It's a fucking you know, a bar up the street.
7:23
Speaker 1: You know, it's you know, anyway, I.
7:24
Speaker 3: Don't know it just to me, it has become a
7:27
Speaker 3: destination spot for I think a lot of people in
7:31
Speaker 3: the summertime because they know, like I want to go
7:35
Speaker 3: see live music, I'm gonna go to Melford and Stonebridge
7:37
Speaker 3: is going to have that. And you know, one of
7:39
Speaker 3: the biggest things I think that's an attraction is the
7:42
Speaker 3: fact that you know, you can go to Stonebridge, you
7:45
Speaker 3: can go and enjoy you know, a couple bands and
7:49
Speaker 3: stuff like that, and then you have the opportunity to
7:53
Speaker 3: go to all these other restaurants in the area if
7:55
Speaker 3: you want to stay at Stonebridge, if you wanted to.
7:57
Speaker 3: Like to me, Stonebridge is bringing in a ton of
8:02
Speaker 3: business for other you know, restaurants down there, and that's
8:07
Speaker 3: to me, it's in their best interest to make that,
8:11
Speaker 3: you know, continue, because otherwise I can't imagine that summer
8:17
Speaker 3: would be like without having.
8:18
Speaker 2: Imagine that no summer concerts series and stone Bridge or
8:22
Speaker 2: suck even Friday happy Hour, you know, we can't.
8:25
Speaker 1: And again, like wed our bands stopped by.
8:28
Speaker 2: The band's never gone past nine o'clock ever, and if
8:30
Speaker 2: they have, we're like, yo, guys, fucking cut it right.
8:33
Speaker 2: We got you know, especially in a nice, cool summer
8:35
Speaker 2: night where the windows are open and the AC's aren't
8:37
Speaker 2: on and it's Sunday.
8:39
Speaker 1: Everyone, you know, you know it's got to work Monday morning.
8:41
Speaker 3: There's nothing better than like on a Friday after work,
8:43
Speaker 3: you know, getting off at five o'clock and you know,
8:46
Speaker 3: going coming down and you know there's going to be
8:49
Speaker 3: a band playing on the on the patio. Like there's
8:51
Speaker 3: nothing better than sitting out on a hot summer night
8:54
Speaker 3: and just listening to music or on a you know,
8:57
Speaker 3: Sunday afternoon, you know, doing a Sunday fun day event
9:00
Speaker 3: or you know what I mean.
9:01
Speaker 2: And so what everyone knows, John does all like everyone
9:04
Speaker 2: like like, really, it's why I have you on because
9:06
Speaker 2: I think you're like, if you lost this, you may move.
9:09
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm out of this fucking town. I'm not
9:11
Speaker 1: gonna be happy. If I'd save some money, maybe, but
9:14
Speaker 1: that's about it. No.
9:16
Speaker 2: But again, like I've stayed relatively you know quiet. I
9:22
Speaker 2: guess I made a couple of you know, comments on Facebook.
9:25
Speaker 1: Was nothing towards this guy.
9:27
Speaker 2: But he will not stop putting banners up and signs
9:30
Speaker 2: in his windows and gloat like he's almost like gloating
9:32
Speaker 2: about it.
9:34
Speaker 1: There's a new one up which I don't know.
9:36
Speaker 3: I walked by it the other day and I stopped
9:38
Speaker 3: and I read it, and I'm just like, I don't
9:41
Speaker 3: it doesn't make any sense what he's saying, Like.
9:44
Speaker 2: Well, I think the new one had nothing to do
9:45
Speaker 2: with this. It was, I know, something about him getting
9:48
Speaker 2: a patio or something.
9:49
Speaker 1: I don't even fucking know.
9:51
Speaker 2: It's like it's like it's seriously, it's a lot of
9:52
Speaker 2: his lost in translation too, because I think the dude
9:54
Speaker 2: just doesn't speak that great of English and doesn't understand language.
9:57
Speaker 1: And I'm just like looking at him, like what, I
9:59
Speaker 1: don't know what the fuck is mean?
10:00
Speaker 2: And this has been going on since pretty much parade there,
10:03
Speaker 2: well it's been longer than that, but like the signs
10:06
Speaker 2: in the window have been going on for a few
10:08
Speaker 2: months now, and you know, and people are coming up
10:12
Speaker 2: to me like what's going on? And you know what,
10:14
Speaker 2: fuck you, Dave, because like I literally got to answer
10:17
Speaker 2: questions everywhere I go about this dumb shit and it's
10:20
Speaker 2: because of you, because you, like you just can't be
10:22
Speaker 2: a good neighbor.
10:23
Speaker 1: Uh. I don't. And I've said this a million times.
10:27
Speaker 2: If you if you've listened to my podcast about golf
10:29
Speaker 2: turnips I go to and every restaurant in town donate shit,
10:32
Speaker 2: But I never see anything from his places like donated.
10:35
Speaker 2: I donate more stuff from a fucking podcast that makes
10:39
Speaker 2: zero money.
10:40
Speaker 1: I donate stuff. I give away stuff out of my
10:43
Speaker 1: own hard earned money. I do that.
10:45
Speaker 2: I'm not fucking patting myself on the back. I'm just
10:47
Speaker 2: saying this guy doesn't I mean, as far as I know,
10:49
Speaker 2: maybe he's got some hidden charity I don't fucking know about.
10:53
Speaker 2: For you know, how to make French fries in Australia,
10:56
Speaker 2: what the fuck?
10:57
Speaker 1: I don't know. But like I don't know. So I mean,
11:01
Speaker 1: here we are a couple hours.
11:03
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm pretty confident we're gonna, you know, get
11:06
Speaker 2: the zoning. And then once we get the zoning, I
11:09
Speaker 2: think it's now it's a permit so people will get
11:12
Speaker 2: their money.
11:12
Speaker 3: But it's like, my my thing tonight is like if
11:16
Speaker 3: we if everyone shows up, right, what is I guess,
11:21
Speaker 3: what is the agenda? Like what are we trying? Like,
11:24
Speaker 3: are we basically trying to get them to reword? No,
11:29
Speaker 3: I think, or is it more of like just showing
11:32
Speaker 3: support for change?
11:34
Speaker 1: Support? Okay, support, like I think the I think the
11:37
Speaker 1: wordage is already there. I don't know this for a fact.
11:40
Speaker 2: I just think I think it's honestly, I think it's
11:43
Speaker 2: been settled. And you know, people can be like, oh,
11:46
Speaker 2: you must know, I really don't. I don't really talk
11:49
Speaker 2: to Richie too much anymore. Uh can't. He just doesn't
11:52
Speaker 2: really talk about anything but fucking drinking.
11:55
Speaker 1: Uh.
11:56
Speaker 2: And and and that's it. I don't really you know.
11:58
Speaker 2: And Phil was on and we didn't really know. But
12:00
Speaker 2: I just feel like I can't imagine because this was
12:02
Speaker 2: a two phase thing. So when they were supposed to
12:05
Speaker 2: have the meeting three weeks ago that got canceled, it
12:09
Speaker 2: was supposed to be the meeting they were going to
12:10
Speaker 2: figure out the zoning, and then on this date today,
12:14
Speaker 2: that's when they were going to issue should the zoning
12:16
Speaker 2: be approved, they were going to issue the permit part
12:19
Speaker 2: of it?
12:19
Speaker 3: Okay, because I thought like, were we fighting for them
12:23
Speaker 3: to change the language in the law.
12:26
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, yeah, of course, yes, that's what that's where
12:28
Speaker 2: all the lawyers come in. So now it's a two
12:31
Speaker 2: part thing. So the first part would be the zoning.
12:35
Speaker 2: And that's why I'm saying, I'm assuming, knock on wood,
12:38
Speaker 2: all the language is there for the lawyers and it's
12:41
Speaker 2: been agreed upon. I think we're just going to go
12:43
Speaker 2: hopefully go to town hall and you know they're going to
12:47
Speaker 2: pass the zoning or rezone it, whatever you want to call.
12:50
Speaker 2: It's out of my league. That kind of shit.
12:52
Speaker 1: I mean, zoning shit is fucking wacky man. Like I
12:56
Speaker 1: don't know.
12:56
Speaker 2: When I opened a bar, I had to go to
12:59
Speaker 2: town hall to uh to the zone and commission to
13:02
Speaker 2: just change my liquor license to a cafe license, and
13:05
Speaker 2: like fucking four.
13:07
Speaker 1: People that lived near my bar showed up opposing it.
13:10
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, what the fuck's going on? Like out
13:13
Speaker 1: of the woodwork.
13:14
Speaker 2: So there could be some people that that maybe uh
13:16
Speaker 2: French he's hiring to come down and they'll have some
13:18
Speaker 2: fucking posts and they'll be fucking I guess.
13:21
Speaker 3: Like my my thing is like is he is he
13:24
Speaker 3: fighting for the law to stay in place?
13:27
Speaker 1: Oh?
13:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what he that's what he's he's wanting
13:30
Speaker 3: to Like he basically I know his position. He doesn't
13:34
Speaker 3: want music downtown, But like what if what if like
13:40
Speaker 3: overwhelming majority says this is what we want downtown and
13:45
Speaker 3: what is that?
13:45
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a I don't know if
13:47
Speaker 2: it's a majority issue to be honest with you. I honestly,
13:54
Speaker 2: that's a great question.
13:55
Speaker 1: I don't know.
13:55
Speaker 2: I mean, I know he doesn't I know, he's just
13:57
Speaker 2: trying to shut us down. Yeah, that's like the number
14:00
Speaker 2: one goal because a lot of people online were like, oh,
14:03
Speaker 2: he's mad because he can't have music and stone Bergs
14:05
Speaker 2: can't and.
14:06
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no, no, he doesn't want music. No,
14:08
Speaker 1: he wants nothing.
14:09
Speaker 2: To know, he does not want music. Yeah, so that's
14:12
Speaker 2: not it. So he just wants he just it's a
14:13
Speaker 2: vendetta against us. I don't know if it's a jealousy thing.
14:16
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's overstepped his bounds over there.
14:19
Speaker 2: I don't know if his business is slow.
14:20
Speaker 1: I have no idea.
14:21
Speaker 3: I've never fucking I have questioned, like, is it because
14:25
Speaker 3: he went to zoning and they turned him down for
14:28
Speaker 3: something and that's what like forced him to go down
14:33
Speaker 3: this path of like trying to fight and basically make
14:37
Speaker 3: an example out of the fact that like, Okay, you know,
14:40
Speaker 3: I was asked, I asked it to get this and
14:43
Speaker 3: you didn't give it to me. But Stonebridge is you know,
14:46
Speaker 3: consistently given permission to do whatever they want, right?
14:50
Speaker 2: Is that is that now now, well, what Phil admitted
14:53
Speaker 2: was you know, we have been at you know, in
14:55
Speaker 2: violation since you know, I know, fifteen years ago, ten
14:59
Speaker 2: years ago, whenever the rule came out, but it was
15:02
Speaker 2: never enforced.
15:03
Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is. Anybody knew was
15:05
Speaker 1: that now, I don't think anybody did so, I don't know.
15:08
Speaker 2: This must have been the summer that it got dug
15:09
Speaker 2: up or someone found it and someone told him and
15:12
Speaker 2: and he was just like all right, let me act
15:13
Speaker 2: on it, uh hastily. I mean, how would I have
15:18
Speaker 2: played it. I would have like gotten the law. I
15:21
Speaker 2: would have walked over to Stonebridge like, hey boys, this
15:25
Speaker 2: is what I got.
15:25
Speaker 1: What do you got from me? That's how I would
15:27
Speaker 1: have played it. Like that's that there's two the French
15:30
Speaker 1: and the Italians.
15:30
Speaker 2: He tells me, Oh, we're gonna grease this motherfucker fucking frendshill, Like.
15:35
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna, you know, shut you guys down like
15:38
Speaker 1: pepula fucking pew Again.
15:41
Speaker 2: I don't care if this episode is like Viva's not
15:43
Speaker 2: sponsoring this one.
15:44
Speaker 1: Everyone just say, you know a little Viva.
15:48
Speaker 4: I just don't understand, like like you said, I don't
15:51
Speaker 4: why would you just like walk over and say, hey, guys, like,
15:54
Speaker 4: can you fucking stop with the DJs at night or whatever?
15:58
Speaker 1: So that's whatever, it's actually a concession of us.
16:01
Speaker 2: We are not doing DJs outside on Friday Saturday nights anymore.
16:05
Speaker 1: I mean we can still, you know, we could.
16:06
Speaker 2: I mean, if we want to be assholes, we could
16:08
Speaker 2: blare music all fucking night long in our house speakers.
16:12
Speaker 1: But we're not going to do that either though.
16:13
Speaker 3: Like that's the other thing, Like you guys, like you
16:16
Speaker 3: can make it as loud as you want out there.
16:18
Speaker 3: I mean you could. I mean you have a pretty
16:21
Speaker 3: good decent sound system out there, so you me technically
16:24
Speaker 3: you could.
16:25
Speaker 1: We could.
16:26
Speaker 2: We could literally just make like a fucking heavy metal
16:28
Speaker 2: playlist of like just bands that from from from back
16:32
Speaker 2: in like two thousand and seven that played a Daniel
16:35
Speaker 2: Street that were just fucking they screamed so loud you
16:38
Speaker 2: didn't know what the fuck it was saying, and just
16:39
Speaker 2: blast that all night. I mean, it wouldn't be good
16:41
Speaker 2: for our business, but just to piss him off. But
16:43
Speaker 2: but again, Phil's not like that's why I love Phil.
16:46
Speaker 2: Phil is just like so like you know, I really
16:48
Speaker 2: I hate it where it's gotten just work it out
16:51
Speaker 2: and and he doesn't want to go that route. So
16:53
Speaker 2: that's where I'm like, you know, I'm not afraid from
16:56
Speaker 2: my job talking like this.
16:57
Speaker 1: Whatever.
16:58
Speaker 2: I work there one night a week now, so I'll
17:00
Speaker 2: be there Saturday night. Everyone wants to come see me,
17:01
Speaker 2: thank you very much. But you know it's it's again.
17:07
Speaker 2: I am I you know me, I'm I'm team Stonebridge.
17:10
Speaker 2: But this guy is just I just don't think he
17:14
Speaker 2: gets it. And I think the minute he he I'm
17:18
Speaker 2: not saying he needs to concede or anything like that,
17:21
Speaker 2: but just come to terms and be a good neighbor
17:24
Speaker 2: and we're we'll be a great neighbor back. Like like
17:27
Speaker 2: somebody said to me the other day, we're obviously talking
17:31
Speaker 2: about this situation.
17:32
Speaker 1: I forget who. It was.
17:32
Speaker 2: One of my friends at work and he's like, aren't
17:35
Speaker 2: you guys all in town like cool with each other,
17:36
Speaker 2: like restaurant wise. I'm like yeah, He' like you know
17:39
Speaker 2: you guys Citrus in my barn and Archie like whatever,
17:42
Speaker 2: and when Eli's was there, and I'm sure we'll be
17:44
Speaker 2: friends with Blind Rhino and and yeah, i mean everyone's
17:47
Speaker 2: making money absolutely, yeah, I mean it's the big fucking
17:51
Speaker 2: guy on the block. But at the end of the
17:52
Speaker 2: day that everyone's making money, well, everyone's busy at certain times.
17:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was saying before.
17:57
Speaker 3: You guys all feed off of each other, right, you know,
18:00
Speaker 3: like someone comes into Stonebridge, they're sitting down having a
18:04
Speaker 3: drink or two, and then they're maybe going to another.
18:07
Speaker 1: Place to have something eat or vice versa.
18:10
Speaker 3: They're going to have something to eat somewhere else and
18:12
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, let's go over to Stonebridge and have
18:14
Speaker 3: a couple of pups and then you know, go home
18:16
Speaker 3: and stuff like that.
18:16
Speaker 1: So it's like it's a reciprocal.
18:19
Speaker 3: Thing in my opinion, like it just for.
18:22
Speaker 1: You to we all bounce around town.
18:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we all, like from the bartender standpoint or
18:27
Speaker 2: just a patron standpoint.
18:29
Speaker 1: We go bar to bar, say hi, we know all
18:31
Speaker 1: the bartenders.
18:32
Speaker 2: You know, we catch up on their week of shit
18:34
Speaker 2: and our week of shit and blah blah blah, and
18:36
Speaker 2: it's just, uh, I mean, that's what socialites do.
18:39
Speaker 1: I don't think this guy is anything.
18:41
Speaker 2: Like that whatever, But if you own two restaurants in town,
18:45
Speaker 2: you know, side by side, I think you should, you know,
18:48
Speaker 2: maybe maybe start to figure shit out a little bit
18:51
Speaker 2: of how to be one with the community, and if
18:54
Speaker 2: you do have problems, work it out with the ownership
18:58
Speaker 2: of that set to ball. Make it a public effect,
19:00
Speaker 2: you know, right, This isn't like fucking uh, you know,
19:03
Speaker 2: I'm trying to look like a roadhouse or something, you know,
19:06
Speaker 2: like the double douche.
19:08
Speaker 3: You know, well, I just feel like he The other
19:10
Speaker 3: thing is like, it's a bad look man.
19:12
Speaker 2: You and he is getting the worst press and he
19:16
Speaker 2: put it on You're getting public press.
19:18
Speaker 1: It's not a press, it's fucking social media.
19:21
Speaker 3: I can't tell you how many people have said to me, like,
19:23
Speaker 3: I'll never step foot in that place ever again.
19:25
Speaker 1: Dude. It's like, and that's what I'm saying, and I
19:28
Speaker 1: don't want to see him fail.
19:29
Speaker 3: I'm not like that, no, but that's what I'm saying, Like,
19:31
Speaker 3: why would you do that? Like, I don't know, Make
19:33
Speaker 3: it Make it a private thing between you know, two
19:36
Speaker 3: businesses and figure your ship out. And then should.
19:40
Speaker 1: Should I bring Dave on day drinking a dog?
19:43
Speaker 3: Which one my brother No, Jesus Christ fucking French, his
19:48
Speaker 3: name is Dave.
19:49
Speaker 1: I don't know what the fucking basis of this conversation is.
19:53
Speaker 1: Your brother. But no, it's not what we're talking about here.
19:57
Speaker 3: No, I think if you would come on, I think
19:59
Speaker 3: that would be awesome. I would I think that would
20:02
Speaker 3: be great if he would come on.
20:03
Speaker 2: But the reality is, you know, you know, Richie Conine
20:06
Speaker 2: has never been on, my beloved boss of twenty six
20:09
Speaker 2: years at Stonebridge, He's never been on.
20:12
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I wouldn't have him on. Dave no, Richie, yes,
20:16
Speaker 1: Dave no, No, I wouldn't. I just I just I.
20:21
Speaker 3: Don't think maybe I would. I don't think he would
20:23
Speaker 3: come on anyway. It's like he's he would probably be
20:24
Speaker 3: like you know, I.
20:25
Speaker 2: Would like to say, walk through that door over there
20:27
Speaker 2: with his fucking nose in the air, like he's better
20:29
Speaker 2: than everybody fucking else.
20:31
Speaker 1: I mean that's a little stereotype of the French. But
20:33
Speaker 1: you know.
20:34
Speaker 3: That's the other thing, like why didn't you go to
20:37
Speaker 3: like if you hire a lawyer, why wouldn't you get
20:40
Speaker 3: like a mediator and have the two parties come together,
20:44
Speaker 3: like you know, right, like still come come to the meeting.
20:48
Speaker 3: You know you have a mediator that's not an arbitrator, Yeah,
20:50
Speaker 3: an arbitrator or whatever. Yeah, I just don't understand why
20:54
Speaker 3: that that wasn't even an option in this equation. It's
20:57
Speaker 3: just like you you went just twitty right, that's the
21:00
Speaker 3: other thing. You see the city over this whole thing, Like,
21:04
Speaker 3: how does that? As a planning and zoning member, wouldn't
21:07
Speaker 3: you want to that would kind of piss me off
21:10
Speaker 3: if you just went and sued the city.
21:12
Speaker 2: Do you think he's a Democrat maybe, I mean he's
21:17
Speaker 2: the one putting signs up as possible. Who knows, Like
21:22
Speaker 2: I thought about it, like I was like, oh, it's
21:24
Speaker 2: all makes signs.
21:24
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, This is me
21:26
Speaker 1: talking to myself. Wait, whoa whoa. No, we're not living
21:29
Speaker 1: second science. Actually, I really don't.
21:31
Speaker 2: I'm so confident we're gonna not be shut down with
21:34
Speaker 2: live music on Sundays.
21:36
Speaker 1: You know, Jesus Christ, we do it.
21:37
Speaker 2: Our summer is if we're lucky, sixteen weeks long.
21:42
Speaker 1: That's it.
21:43
Speaker 2: You know, it's a Memorial Day to Labor Day. Maybe
21:45
Speaker 2: cut one here, cut one there.
21:46
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, I.
21:49
Speaker 3: Just think to show up tonight.

Speaker 1: won't return my phone calls. I mean, signs everywhere is
21:57
Speaker 1: fucked a place. He won't return my phone call.
22:00
Speaker 2: He told me I helped him win the fucking mayoral
22:02
Speaker 2: ship and he's nowhere to be found. He's going on
22:04
Speaker 2: fucking Smith and barber or whoever to fuck.
22:08
Speaker 1: I think he should be there tonight.
22:09
Speaker 3: I think it says a lot.
22:12
Speaker 1: Hey, I think I will tell you this.
22:15
Speaker 2: I've been drunk with him there watching live bands on
22:18
Speaker 2: a Sunday not too long ago, so i've seen him.
22:23
Speaker 1: Not to call him out.
22:24
Speaker 2: See Anthony D's is legal to have the bands because
22:27
Speaker 2: it's inside. Yes, yes, So that's a whole different story,
22:30
Speaker 2: all right, So we wanted to keep it quick. That's
22:33
Speaker 2: twenty two minutes, but we'll finish on this.
22:36
