and you're following along but every time I come here and I can and and I come down to the studio and you're not here and and I look at all this stuff over here I go oh god well you're gonna learn oh sorry well listen you can teach this old dog some new tricks because you are going to learn I'm going to learn oh no I can learn I use I used to be able to do it when it was a hell of a lot more complicated than that yeah right well here we used to have to push all the buttons yourself when when you used to when when you would record a commercial a spot and and you take the audio tape and you'd have to slice it and put it together cut it usually using razor blades and and tape it together I used to be pretty good at that none of this just pushing the button I know I know I still have I still have some major scars from my taste with razor blades where my mother was like what are you doing in here like it's not drugs it's tape it's dust tape laughs all right well the man in the computer is messing up whatever there we go no is it gone now okay all right I think you saw my face of disapproval I'm like I can't hear myself back it makes me crazy you know if you if you if you like you know if you know the movie The Wizard of Oz The Wizard of Oz is he we have we have a Wizard of Oz he's behind the curtain upstairs and he and he does stuff because you can't stop so yeah good morning Eva thank you so much for checking in with us we had such a great night at music Bingo last night I cannot think like I was a little Misty teary-eyed when I was driving home at the amount of just people that were there to have a good time with each other or some one of our friends is going through some some physical issues and it was just like just a bunch of everybody showing up supporting everyone and it was just really really nice I left there with like such a full kind heart and so that's why our question of the day today is like what are you thankful for because I think it's important to just wake up sometimes and acknowledge that right you know I'm still breathing I'm still on this side of the earth and I got things to do so every once in a while I have those moments where I'm like stop me I'm not crying you are right right mari's Uncle Joe uh who I was very fond of um always told me several times all he did when he got up in the morning he got up in the morning he'd put his feet on the floor and he said thank you and that's all he did yeah gratitude it's a big thing right and that's enough kids and and younger adults are being much more mindful this day and age I had a great conversation with a fellow entrepreneur last night Brianna from elevated Impressions she does all these beautiful balloon creations yes if you're ever looking for someone for that they they do just a bang-up job and we were having this conversation about how much more mindful the younger generation is about everything and I'm I'm thankful that we're going there but in our age we see it as being soft or whiny or complainy so there there is a break for people just I don't know getting better in this space of life it was just a really nice conversation it's not a regular conversation that you normally have when you're sitting at a bar no well well you do after several drinks yeah yeah but no this was this was yeah you know and then after several drinks you start discussing the meaning of life and it gets sloppy and then you don't remember the next day all the profound things you thought and shared with each other and you sometimes don't even remember who you were hugging I don't have that anymore because I now have a company vehicle and that is not happening yes you know who I am yes a pretty cool company vehicle it does it looks really cute thank you very much to Cape and Islands Kia and also simple science who did a fabulous job branding the the little Kia that could it looks awesome but also I can't do anything of that without people knowing

you so much for checking in with us so I saw as we're coming into the Lenten season where everybody's starting to give these up so many things about Easter candy is my favorite kind of candy yeah it's a problem Cadbury eggs are evil yes and some people are like gross too much sugar absolutely they'll rot all of your teeth out and but they are my favorite thing like even when I was in the military my mom sent me an Easter basket with all of my Cadbury Creme eggs so she knows it is my favorite kind of candy and I saw it because we we often do crazy crime here and there was a theft of Cadbury Creme eggs 200 000 Cadbury Creme eggs worth 48 000 stolen by a London Man and all I could just picture was a man like sitting on a clutch of eggs you know what I mean obviously they would melt but I'm like that's the most bizarre thing to steal isn't that it just totally no I'm gonna say passed out from the sugar you can't pass out from all that no no you'd be awake for the rest of your life good morning Lisa thanks for checking in with us this morning running a marathon yeah right so Easter is around the corner peeps flavored Pepsi since we're talking about sugar my teeth are actually itching talking about how much well this is I'm not much of a peeps guy I never was they're gross they are they're crunchy yeah it's like if you enjoy crunchy sugar then you would enjoy them right nope nope

memes of the month okay it's kind of cute but I mean do I want to eat them absolutely not do I want them in a soda form no no thank you dentists are like yay I know it is gross Amy it's disgusting uh so what's been going on with you Hank oh I don't know he tried to convince me that there was a snake on the loose in Attleboro then tried to find it because there's a bobcat we found a dead Bobcat on the cape they found it um they found it in well fleets right near the chickaset I forget what it is the Flatlands right where they're doing all of that construction I guess in the 1900s they came in and thought they would build this huge interrupt Mother Nature basically to stop mosquitoes yeah well over time that has proven to be really bad for the birds and all of the they're realizing now how bad it is to the tune of 20 million dollars to put it back to the way it was and that's exactly where they found this dead Bobcat well he probably had a good thing going down there right I got all the Ducks nobody else here but me but that is the furthest on Cape hey good morning Sarah that uh uh Bobcat has been spotted so I'm I'm sad that it's deceased but also I was looking at photos of bobcats because they put the cute like stock fluffy photos and I'm like oh it's a bobcat right then I had to remember oh it's a bobcat like that no that is not a patable cat you want to have no no it's a wild animal and someone will mistake it for a petable cat or lost cat and start feeding it yeah just like to do with coyotes oh look at this little dog in my backyard I started feeding it one of our neighbors was that lady really uh-huh the lady across the street she no longer lives there we have summer people now whatever that is oh my God summer people are summer people really people as the

name even better so he's over and he's got the weirdest voice so every time he talks to me I can't I have this thing with voices obviously I do voice work right so when he talks I can't listen to him it's bothersome to me so I automatically am annoyed by him even if he's just saying nice things to me what does it sound like it's like oh my and he's a Rhode Islander oh he's got that Rhode Island accent on top of it yep so it's a bad Rhode Island accent oh my gosh and he joined the board because we live in an association and so you don't move into a place and immediately take over that's not

events no things don't fill it up with things and don't ask me to do things I'm taking two days and I'm gonna stare at a wall and my husband's like maybe we can get away maybe take the kids tubing I said do you not remember the tubing incident of 2017 he has like such revisionist history yes where my daughter Lily she had such tactile dysfunction she never liked wearing gloves didn't like two layers of clothes she's grown out of it and she's a lot better about managing it herself but she proceeded to take off her gloves and scream scream cry at the top of a mountain for a solid hour and a half while I was trying to manage my other children and let them have a good time and so so how did Lily get down I had to physically take her screaming on a tube down the mountain yeah that was also a lot of fun I was like can we just find somewhere with like a hot tub and a place maybe we could just like get room service right and just like very low key your kids are old enough they can stay home alone for two nights they are they are and it's fine and uh I'd like to wait until at least she has her license which is going to be next month which is all very terrifying uh but given the State of Affairs at the DMV I don't know if it's going to be next month or maybe at September right because we have the one they're moving it so it's a satellite situation yeah someone in Plymouth is half closed half the time it's really frustrating and they're really not open anyway when you're there because you got to make an appointment to go anyhow painful and I know a lot of people are dealing with their real ID Rhode Island has only brought us bad beer what's wrong with Mary again Narragansett come on hello neighbor I have against it oh that's awesome that's good good morning John that's from watching Red Sox games on TV with my grandfather when I was a when I was a kid Narragansett was one of the big sponsors of the Red Sox games yeah pictures and catchers on Monday pitchers and catchers no Bridges and catchers have reported that first first full workout is Monday all right things are happening yes and it's gonna feel like that today but it's a trick I'm gonna have warm weather roll in and everybody's gonna feel great you're gonna be like I'm gonna put the shovel away don't know that guy no no don't don't be that girl there's one more coming yeah yeah I agree I actually can't even say one more but there's one coming we haven't even had one to have one more have yourself a ski lodge life weekend without skiing I yes I am all about apres ski find me at the lodge in front of the fire with a nice little hot toddy I'm good to go got a nice book in my hands I got two new ones I'm reading I'm in the middle of both of them I can't even tell you the name of them that's how bad they are but I'm persevering because Seraphina said give it a little bit more time we were talking about how long do you give a book before you're like I can't do it and normally I only give it a chapter yeah oh I go I go more than that I have so many unread books on my Kindle it's nuts yeah I've like started like gone deeply into them and just abandoned because they just didn't capture you or just because you got sidetracked I got sidetracked because I found something else I wanted to read exactly and then I found something else I wanted to read and then I went to a bookstore oh God take me into a bookstore and and I'm like an open checkbook what is it with that I do the same thing my husband is exactly the same way we're like well it's books right and we buy 30 of them we don't need right and and I told Mariana I don't know how many years ago when we go to a bookstore if you ever ask to buy a book Papa can't say no well that was your first mistake that was my first mistake yeah yeah so every time we go to a bookstore we buy these books and I keep saying to her have you read them yet no no I'll start tomorrow um but you know one of the books that we discovered the last time we went to the bookstore and those of you who are you'll probably remember this I was surprised that they were still available the boxcar kids um because yeah I did read those I thought for sure the boxcar kids would be pulled off the shelves because it's a bunch of off orphans living on their own and and somebody would have decided by now that that was somehow inappropriate well you know what we're not book burners we're not those people that's true we're Northerners we accept that you know it was a different time and things like that happened in different times and we're better than that now and we can read that so we're not like let's pretend it never happened burn it get rid of it we're not those people that's true that's true the book that I bought at the bookstore last time I was there is like Yay thick and it's yet another biography of Abraham Lincoln yeah but it's written by John Meacham and I love John Meacham all right and I don't think I've ever read him but he he did um uh he did some work with uh the bushes he spoke at President Bush's uh funeral he's he's he's excellent excellent writer but I clearly read different things um I've I've just covered that my cheaters aren't strong enough because the print I swear when I tried to read the book is like this and it's I can't I can't read it I had to put it aside I need to go get that better cheaters because I can't read the book so that's sitting aside now good morning um oh my mother-in-law is watching hi Mom I hope you're enjoying Florida also in Florida Danielle thank you so much for checking in and good morning to you James cousin James hi oh Mari said Papa can't say no whether it's at a bookstore or somewhere else Papa just can't say no Jeff Jeff butt trick does anybody still care about those overpaid baseball teams with an owner who does not care about this team I I stopped watching major sports like that I don't know what happened I think maybe during the pandemic I kind of we were football people and we were hardcore football people but I don't know whether it's because the Patriots are so bad that we're like man and I'm not a fair weather fan I just I haven't been into it and baseball I haven't been into for a really long time I've just really I've just been a baseball fan forever yeah since I always I grew up going in games my dad worked for Otis Elevator if they would get box seats like I would go it would be like the most awesome thing that my dad and I ever did together every year twice a year in the summer we'd go and we'd watch the games it was just him and I so it was like that magical thing that we always had together which I loved just somewhere I stopped watching baseball and it sucked to me I got Megan a summer job when she was in high school because I was working at United Way of Rhode Island and we had a connection with the Pawtucket Red Sox I got her a summer job working at the Pawtucket Red Sox I lived vicariously through her you know my aunt lives around the corner and she did not love the fireworks at McCoy's oh I wouldn't I would I would imagine neither did her dog no but I was so jealous of Megan because she was working for the Pawtucket Red Sox yeah and I thought that was just I went to a thousand games now they're the woo socks none of the woo sucks I haven't been out there but I haven't even get right off on the train uh right there in front of the the stadium and go which I think is nice and convenient because there's nothing worse than getting psyched up to go to something whether it's a show in Boston whether and then just the rigmarole that you have to go through to park your car to get to where you're going it's like a whole nother day and a half process right speaking about parking and I don't quite understand how it works there's a story this morning that you're parked at that tickets for Patriots games are going up they haven't been raised in 15 years another third highest ticket price in the league anyway I won't beat that one but there's there's some sort of a deal now where you can park for free you should have always been able to park for free I think that is such a money grab it drives me insane when you show up somewhere and then you're gonna pay 50 bucks to park in a parking lot but somewhere near the place that you're going to it makes me insane I think it has something to do with if if you're if you're willing to wait for an hour or something before um you you leave the parking lot when you when you when you leave they give you a 50 gift card okay it's either an hour or an hour and a half and the idea is it's going to cut down on the on the traffic okay give me a good book we'll go right back to bookstore there you go good morning Don Don checking in from the West Coast Jen checking in from Plymouth uh let's see Mark Mark checking in from Everett and who else do we have rtb good to see your face he's back in p-town um who else we got a lot of people checking in so hi good morning to you yeah we do here we are one day before the weekend that is the one right thing that the Beachcomber always did and I loved they give you a 25 gift card for parking in their parking lot you gotta pay to park right but you can take that gift card and go to their store and use it against some of their merch oh that's good so that's why you see everyone wearing Beachcomber sweatshirts it's the genius marketing it's so brilliant you can get this thing and you can use it towards anything you want to buy in the merch store so everybody gets a Beachcomber sweatshirt because uh they're comfy right they're Cape Cod they're iconic they scream Cape Cod you know I mean we brought ours to Portugal we brought ours we have photos of that one and our our salties group The Salty Speakeasy that started during uh the pandemic if you know then you know uh so we bring them with us wherever their iconic Cape Cod things when you see them you're like hey I know you you're from the cape we have this such strong connection Cape cotters dude and whatever it is around here but I thought Whoever thought of that genius marketing so I think that's brilliant if they're given 50 gift cards people will wait for that I will wait for that oh yeah we haven't been to the Beachcomber in a long time it's just that to get there and to park it's a process it's like insane yeah but now the dispensary is right before there so I mean oh take our time it's a good time one word not a problem oh my gosh cam is watching hey cam hey cam how you doing buddy where are you I know we got a date next week he's gonna come and uh hang out with me on a show oh that's cool I know I'm very much looking forward to it I can't wait to watch we're doing a little bit of work he is working on a pod and uh I'm very excited for him to share some of his adventures well he should because he's there's so many yeah so many our friend our friend cam um is a cabin staff person for flight attendant yeah four four one of the major airlines and he he keeps us updated on Facebook so fun where he is and he's flown he's been all over the place already and he's been in the job what six months yeah yep Michael you need to like figure out a way that you're gonna take me around on an adventure because apparently I'm not going anywhere anytime soon so I won't need any rides to the airport so just pick me up in your Cadillac and drive me around to make me feel like I'm important like presidential when I go places I'm here with my friend Michael and I'll just get out with my sunglasses on pretend I'm somebody important I have people start taking pictures how funny would that be who is do we stage something like this I'm sure we could Michael let's talk because I think that's really so fun I finally watched that AJ fickory movie the other day um the one that was filmed on the cape with Christina Hendrix and um David Arquette yeah it's it's not I mean it was good but it was not great the storyline was really sad oh um well then why watch it I I because I it was filmed on the cape okay we support ourselves okay we support others and that was kind of really exciting Michael says he'll take you to Bingham perfect thank you take me to bingo I'll walk out like a superstar do you have a red carpet Michael that's the thing you're gonna roll out the red car roll out the red cabin for from the vehicle me and my beach wagon full of all my equipment super classy here she is what drove me crazy about the storyline was the bookstore was set on Alice Island which was a knockoff of the vineyard right and then all of a sudden he's running from the bookstore and he's running up Main Street in Hyannis and I'm like that's not even where that is it was upsetting to me as to the bookstore was in in Yarmouth okay and then all of a sudden they're running up in Main Street Hyannis and then they're showing steamship stuff and I'm like no no no because we know would that be considered Jumping the Shark yes yes okay no pun intended no pun intended so that's Chatham speaking of Towny stuff Hank's been really enjoying some of the telling pages I know we talk about it often but there's some new New Revelations happening on our towning Pages oh my goodness the last couple of days there have been some um different um aircraft flying into the flying into the air base hey lady and and the county newspages are going berserko uh we've had Satellites with the Chinese balloons um now they're saying that they're going to retaliate against us because they said it was a weather balloon and we should have taken what they said is word but there's no evidence that it was a weather balloon right so I whatever they've been doing it for years and we've been doing it for years and I don't know why we're all upset about that well now everybody's on high alert for stuff that is flying in the sky so they are out there like losing their mind as to the aircrafts that are coming into Otis Air Force Base and what's leaving oh yeah and somebody posted an actual breakdown of like you know this is this plane and this is what it looks like this is this plane and this is what it looks like I mean you live next to an air base folks you knew that when you moved here if you if you're a Cape Cod person you you know that yeah why I I don't I don't understand you know just look at it hey that's really cool gee I haven't seen that one before don't get on whatever and go oh my God what's happening was like oh wow an airplane flagged here an air base so weird everybody oh

a decibel meter on his phone because they would actually sit there all night long calling calling complaining calling calling yeah and so when the cops would show up my husband would hold the decibel meter and then they would leave right but it still registered against the business like obviously then they're eventually not going to have it it actually shut down one of the places on Falmouth Harbor and it was acoustic guitar that ended at 10 pm acoustic guitar yeah no the not in my backyards or my favorite one was the woman who moved into the property that's right behind dinos yes and he

our neighbors was in a band with his brothers and they were called the funkles and every time I never heard of the Buckle the funkles yeah well it was it was it was more like a family thing they'd get together and practice themselves and then when there was a family party they'd play well one of their sons graduated from high school I guess it was so the funkles were playing in the backyard and it got like to be like nine o'clock or so and some of the younger folk were were in the front yard hanging out and the older folk were in the back where the tables and Jazz were whatever and someone or someone's called sandwich police yeah and they pulled up in front of the house and they saw all these young people so they get out of the car I'll posture in and they get posture and Swagger swaggering in and they're going to come around the corner shut the music down and they come around the corner and honest to God to look on their faces when they saw a bunch of 50 year old guys oh I

business and moving on with a different business oh really yeah it was it's a big decision and it's a good luck to you I love you I'm excited for you you need a freaking break are you gonna sleep in though that's what I'm curious about it maybe an hour later it's hard somewhere in there I still I will always get up at this time and if you would ask my mother when I was a teenager if I would be a morning person she would have laughed directly in your face because sister Zeta from Bishop bien will call my mother Stephanie's late again seven days late again I was not a morning person I had a student back when I was at Dean Junior College yeah um she always sign up for an eight o'clock class she always slept late she'd never never woke up but got to the point where where one day I got I got permission and I took the whole class over to the dorm and we knocked on her door yeah and she she grew up to become a morning radio person see and actually the news director at Channel 10 in Providence that's awesome she's awesome she's she's and she does a radio show in Westerly Rhode Island that's very cool no she's she's um I wish sisters was alive still though it's hard for me to say that a student of mine is kind of retired well because that kind of makes me feel well you were a baby teaching right baby you came out of that one teaching I was young educator yeah I was only in my 20s yeah when I when I started at teen Junior College teaching radio and Communications and stuff like that so good for you John he said thanks I'm sitting on my couch in my shorts enjoying coffee and that's the way life should be my friends that's right good for you now you're gonna be like the rest of us complaining about The Usual Suspects of where it is the average person who has eight coffee mugs I have nine million coffee mugs oh we do too when we moved we threw coffee mugs out and we still have coffee mugs yeah but I don't I don't know where they go they they leave my cabinets and my children disappear them know where they go she I had an issue with your little bestie over there miss Lillian was on my list yesterday oh I'm going to New York for a couple of days my brother is moving into another apartment my mom is coming from the West Coast because she can't let him just move into an apartment she's gonna come and decorate everything mom who just got married my mother just got married and um is now retired okay so she living in Phoenix San Diego both a little bit of both she went back to she went back to the San Diego well that sucks to get curtains to mail to me for my brother because he's got a big apartment and he needs curtains like my brother is 30. he doesn't need my mother to mail curtains from the West Coast for me to get them in a box to then drive them to New York so that she can put up the curtains for my brother Curtin said she headed her place in San Diego so they used curtains that are mailed to you to take so my mother drove from Phoenix to San Diego to box up a bunch of crap that she had at her house to mail to me in seven boxes I only have two right now I'm having seven boxes total that I have to now bring with me to New York so my mother can put them where she sees them fit for my brother and then when she leaves your brother's gonna get rid of them who is a grown ass man most likely most likely because I although if we're walking it up five floors without a fifth floor walk up yep no no stair no stairs no elevator it's not coming down I'm throwing it out the window right either that or you better put a pulley out the window and pull it up because this mama is not walking seven boxes of stairs up five flights of stairs more than one time so I'm gonna have to find some way to lift this my mom's like do you have does Cliff have a dolly I'm like have you seen my car what more do you think I'm going to be putting in my vehicle right this isn't This Woman's insane yeah but a Dolly's going to be a pain in the neck hauling that up five stairs yeah I'm not doing that I'm not he's trying to move in and make friends with these people because he has to live there I'm not going to be that person so yesterday I got home from music Bingo and Lil opened up the boxes because she thought they were Nana boxes so now I I have crap all over so she took them all out because they thought there was stuff for her yep addressed to my brother and she opened him anyway this is a person who can't bring her coffee mug down the stairs this is a person who I there are seven pairs of her shoes at the bottom of our stairs between her and my brother I mean between her and my son just shoes everywhere stuff everywhere but but somehow finds the two boxes that I had hidden under another box yeah on my kitchen table away from everything like these are over here not for us with my brother's name on them and she opened them anyway so I said you know what you you have to call Nana and apologize because my mother was like those were a dress to your brother and I'm like do you think I don't know that right just letting you know I didn't see his name on it she and if she tracks it so she says well I know two of the boxes have arrived and I said yep and they've spilled all over my kitchen right now so I'm gonna find another way to package these all up so that I can haul them up five flights of stairs for unwanted crap that my brother's not even gonna want well why don't you have them come down open the boxes look at them and while they're in the car and take what you want yeah right that's thank you thank you you know see this is why I talk things out with all of you and the problems the rest you just find somewhere to come would keep them in the car and bring him back here I'm taking I was going to say take him to the Mashpee landfill but then you've got to break them down into is it paper is it cardboard it's it's but cardboard isn't what you think is cardboard see this isn't you would think maybe this would qualifies cardboard but it's not cardboard according to the masterpie landfill it has to have those little um uh grooves in the in the Box it's such a pain I can't it's not it's better than sandwich though the situation that is the sandwich with the blue bags right oh yeah the blue bag here so it could be worse I'm not even gonna complain about it because it could be worse and yes John I would love to buy some Gourmet brunch Nostalgia mugs before so yes I do want a few of them good morning Colleen thank you so much for checking in with us uh we gotta go talk and I wanted to talk about the crazy crime the London guy still on the Cadbury eggs all right Foo Fighters cool kpad's alternative we are lemonadeio it's Hank and Stephanie it is time for a little crazy crime and this one takes us across the pond okay where a London man has been found guilty of stealing 200 000 Cadbury Creme eggs how many two hundred thousand forty eight thousand dollars worth of Cadbury cremix so you're found guilty which means you now have to go to jail for stealing Cadbury eggs and now you're in jail and they're like what are you in for because you know that that's a conversation Craig Cadbury oh he's going to be real popular that is embarrassing that is embarrassing you get no street cred for that none none I mean I get it with the cost of eggs but I'm sure that that is still cheaper than the actual cost of real eggs what Would You Do You couldn't possibly eat all those eggs it was cornering the market on Easter Hank who's getting in there early I guess he was looking for the deals all right there you go your crazy crime here on lemonadeio oh I love that Duran Duran song all right see I'm I'm digging some of the oldies out there that we haven't heard in a long time yeah I'm looking for some poke are we playing Poco yet I don't I it is on the list okay it is on the list oh my daughter Sophie says she misses your voice Stephanie and loves when I put this show on in the morning while we're getting ready oh so cute hi Sophie oh my gosh have a great day at school today I miss your voice she is an amazing singer uh yeah and she's at Cody's age they went to school together at Mashpee school systems the boy had his uh second to last basketball game yesterday okay and apparently he followed out so he got picked up early okay way to hang out with your team Bud oh Duran Duran is touring North America I don't know how much those tickets are probably too much yeah and how many of them are our originals and how many of them are because that's the dividing line now how many of the real members are still and I think all of them except one or two right one is sick yeah see that's the thing about and I don't understand the controversy about it anytime the Little River Band is playing anywhere I mean they were good group and you know they had some they had some hits but when you see the Little River Band yeah playing all of a sudden does this explosion on social media that they're not that they're that they're a tribute band they're not the real Little River Band even though they're built as the real well how many of them are still a lot are there any of them that are still alive well depending upon what's supposed to read it really is a tribute band there's no original November are still alive but they're going around as a tribute band that their tribute band being built is the still the real thing oh I gotcha see Duran Duran at least has four out of five of the members still and Andy's the only reason why suffering from serious health issues right um so that was just really sad um rtb and I were at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when Duran Duran was accepting and they made they made the announcement that Andy was dealing with his health issues and the entire crowd at all of them even Simon everyone was just getting like super misty-eyed because you didn't realize how bad it was and uh yeah that was a moment we had a moment together yeah unfortunately all those bands are getting to be aged that agent it's my two favorite word yeah getting to be that age where where there's just going to be there's just going to be stuff yeah you know that's life good morning Christian thanks for joining and as far as the bands go as long as you understand they are what they are I mean look when you see The Temptations of the Four Tops that the Cape Cod tent this summer the original members guys that's how there's one usually kicking around and let kids get this wave gets us out you can tell he's the guy in the wheelchair doing wheelchair dancing while the other guys are moving and grooving hey don't knock that wheelchair dancer that's me I'm gonna be kicking my leg up like oh we do we do cheers we do chair dancing at the uh um at The Villages that's awesome it's an opportunity for chair exercises that's right I'm really looking forward to spending some time at The Villages this summer and just taking it all in I feel like it's such a show prep there's a lot to talk about oh yeah um so I saw this story oh and you're crazy and and the and the Slowdown lady is back oh tell everybody about the Slowdown lady does a does a lady in the Villages and for those of you who are just joining us um we lived in a over 55 communities that Steph and I have um affectionately named The Villages so we won't actually name the place right um because there's this woman who walks her dog who when you drive by stops makes a really angry face at you and goes like this to get you to slow down now the speed limit in The Villages is 20. you could be going 12. and she's still angry about it and she's still angry about it yeah you're not supposed to drive by her no I I guess I mean we hadn't we hadn't seen it for a while she apparently was hibernating for the winter or something uh but she was she was back out yesterday and she she just seems unhappy all of the time though no matter what I don't know like I almost want to follow behind her but then I don't want like no for her to freak out then too because then it looks like I'm stalking her when I'm not right like is there a happy medium for a slow down lady right I mean I'm tempted to get out and go just go over to her and say excuse me were you were you waving at me do you do you need something you know but usually we're taught not to engage angry people yeah that's probably a bass just let her walk her dog and her anger and let her get it out maybe that's where she's like her her unhappiest could be maybe she didn't want the dog like you don't know the whole backstory but no no no no and I probably don't want him I don't so maybe we'll see her in another Mario and then Mari would tell me to be bad for business if I stop in and gave somebody so yeah I'm just gonna sit in the car and I want to hear about slow down ladies backstory at some point in time definitely so yes he Hank and his wife Mari make her move with Mari Works in real estate and I saw this story today about someone that purchased an 18th century home wow and so they're doing a little bit of renovating a little bit of fixing up because obviously when you buy a 300 year old home you need to do some stuff with it yeah probably bathrooms probably need to be up there a couple of things need to happen and yeah like it actually needs a toilet instead that might help so they were moving some of the floors to to replace the subfloor and work on whatever there was no subfloor there were corn cobs corn cobs thousands of corn cobs oh wow that was what their insulation was is what they were guessing holy cow corn cops wow it's like so they showed the photos of it I'm looking at it I'm like oh my God like how much and it's not like it was in a specific like Farm area right it's not like they checked all this corn where did the corn cobs come from wow this is just a very bizarre form of insulation wow but they still resembled corn cobs you'd be surprised at the number of older Cape Cod homes like the old Cottages that have been you know added on and added on yeah where the original part of the house is being supported with um wood stumps stumps stumps okay I mean they've they've held up these houses for for God knows how long but when you when you do a 2000 2023 home inspection and the home inspector looks and goes you know what that's not up to code you don't have a foundation you have stumps you have stumps holding you up honest to God I can't tell you how many times I've seen it that has has to be the craziest thing that I've ever thought that would happen as a home on stumps not stilts or a foundation no stumps tree stumps you've seen this in multiple places oh yeah that was a thing oh it's a thing sure sure because they cleared the land to build the cottage they had the tree stumps and they put the tree stumps underneath and they built on top yeah and just the god books honest to God some of you here on Cape Cod who may be watching us maybe live in one of those homes so bizarre to me I can only imagine what you see in real estate and dealing with all of that stuff oh yeah I could not I could not um at all so I saw that for security purposes I've been dealing with like password stuff and changing stuff over it's for whatever reason everything came up due you know when it's decided to force you to change your password on stuff right and I can't remember anything and I ca the one that I thought was the password and then you got to do your new password your oh no your old password your new password twice and so I can't even remember I can't remember any of it none of it so then they send me the code then it's a code to my other device then it's an email address that I'm no longer using either way they're saying for security purposes we're supposed to have a 12 digit something rather to be the most secure yeah no I miss when it was just you could log into things right and it was simple well you you have the same thing for everyone but you can't now because that's not secure and people are there are so many cyber crimes happening oh yeah you Cliff probably have the same problem Mario and I do we work on the same software yep and we change passwords because we can't get in yep and then we either don't tell the other or we tell them but the other doesn't write it down and all of a sudden we're trying to get in and we can't oh my gosh it's ridiculous the amount of time spent trying to find a password I could taken up a new hobby I could have learned something oh yeah there isn't it like I honestly could have been speaking another language with the amount of time just logging in and logging out of things yeah and the most secure password they give you as a suggestion like you said stuff yeah there's no way in God's Earth you can remember it now now even if you were 10 years old and you didn't have a whole lot of stuff in your memory still couldn't remember but you know what I discovered though I've discovered though you have to click the remember me if you if the little box that pops up and said should I save this password what I've discovered is it keeps changing the password for everything yeah all your stuff that's connected to your email address oh you knew that yeah oh okay I learned that last week we're always learning as technology gets better I thought I was doing good oh yeah so then I go in again and I'd be like what the hell no you're not helping yourself you're making it worse we'll get there hey at least we're above ground right we're supposed to be thankful for things that's right always do the password saver on the phone yeah but what happens when you lose the phone right then it's in the cloud and then you get some of them back it's a disaster as I do on a regular basis because I put my phone down like this right and it's black yeah and I don't see it I used to have a a phone case that had like a um a picture of buoys on it or hi Patricia boat scene or something and I could and I could find it but now I put it down upside down like this and five minutes later it's like where's my phone I saw a meme that actually I did the other day was I was looking for my cell phone with a flashlight of my cell phone I was I was actively looking for it and I saw a meme and I was like that was me my brain it does not work very well I was like looking for your glasses and the glasses were in your head yeah on my head looking for your keys and yeah right next to your cell phone deeply in my purse deep deep down inside somewhere that's a whole other story folks versus I can't tell you how many times mari's gotten a new purse yeah and this is going to be better than the last one because I can't put a lot of stuff in it and I'm just going to keep you know the base and we tell ourselves we lie to ourselves way too often and two weeks later it's like you know Mary Poppins carpet back yes I did get rid of my Mary Poppins bag As Eva affectionately called it she bought she actually went out and purchased me a new purse because she couldn't stand me in my Mary Poppins bag as she called it and it doesn't make any difference what size yeah Canal big thing it can be a little fill it we'll fill it with junk you'll fill it with junk yeah all right so Hank and I are gonna go back on the air you can find us Roku TV Alexa lemonadeio.com uh continue
