two in a stroller that's not fun no well first of all yeah that was the first thing I thought what are you doing this to yourself but then secondly but then secondly because our kids need those memories oh you know what the kids are so damn young than I remember I know we took Mariana to Disney when she was five and she kind of remembers yeah now that she's almost 12 but these little these little Rugrats who were three you know three three years old in a stroller they're not going remember a damn thing yeah I have cute photos of the kids when they were there that's about all I have of that experience in the memories of my daughter giving herself a reverse Mohawk and somehow coming home with lice oh it was just it was not the best Disney it was not the happiest place on Earth that's when she was going through her phase of she she wanted the princess dresses so badly yeah and she put on the the princess dress and then immediately threw herself into a pencil on the floor of the Disney Store because it was itchy and she couldn't get it off and she melted down it was a meltdown of mass proportion these are the memories I remember as she's graduated high school this year oh

that's why they call it Florida well speaking of which apparently in St Augustine over the weekend there was the Florida Man games and it's a big to-do they've embraced the fact that we tease them for crazy crime and they've made like a whole weekend of it with different activities like flee from the police random stuff and I was there and I missed that you know what I would have gone to St Augustine for that looks like something I would have absolutely watched fun little spectator sport for sure yep yep ESPN the O show you never know what's gonna be on over there nope you never know you

video of it it's fabulous oh yeah oh yeah see I'm really torn about Florida I like the weather I like the warmth all of that but there's so much crazy crap going on down there it's it's not just there let's not relegate it to just Florida that's true it's crazy everywhere there is a lot going on in the world and I'm not really sure what's happening but I the guy in Seattle so oh yes I was looking through weird news stories this morning and they just gave we had just so many to get through and I was like I don't even know where to start but the guy in Seattle I really appreciated it's an out in housed man that decided to just grab an excavator and just start digging into the side of this hill well he was arrested excavator was taken away from him but still remained the part that he dug out so once he got out of jail he went back and now he started to build a cabin into the place where he's excavated and is anyone stopping him no they don't even know what to do he he sectioned it all off and said there's a mine in there now and he's working the mine and he's claimed it as his own I was like is this real life yes it is they do have some problems in the Pacific Northwest in addition to just the fact that it rains all the time okay okay I don't know whether it's drug related I really think it's just people are like bleep it I don't have anything they're not g to tell me no so I'm just gonna do what I want right I I'll arrest me I'll keep coming back because they can't hold me right for an extended period of time well we're underst staffed everywhere okay everywhere you know what so you got to pick your battles that excuse is wearing really thin yeah I know everything the answer to everything sorry folks the answer to everything is oh we're understa stop please adjust adjust yeah we're we're not adjusting no what's the what was the word from from the oh pivot yeah I was waiting for it I was waiting for it I know it just seems like we've ramped up a new level of crazy speaking of which I was scolded yesterday I was told to do better yeah I saw that and what did you do what what video what post did you do that the person said they couldn't unsee it so it was on my Stephanie in the morning page my radio show page and every single morning I'll post a question something light usually a fluffy meme something like whatever and I posted three or four days ago it might even been last week oh this is me getting up this morning and it was cow falling out of the back of a a thing just a cow that fell down Okay and she wrote down not funny not at all and I just left it cuz I'm one of those people like you go ahead you make your comment I don't need to engage every comment that I see when someone doesn't like something Everyone's entitled to their opinion right right even on my page I'll allow it within reason um and so this woman um waited three days and then went into my inbox to tell me that she unfollowed me because she couldn't unsee it she what I don't I don't care I don't even know this woman she's she's I can just tell I can just tell you don't want to know her right but the funny part is when you post something about should I do well I said in my response in my rebuttal on my own private personal page right should I do better or now that she's gone do I care or can I just live my life and the everybody came out of the woodwork girl please I'm getting text messages what was the what was the real what was the mean what was it what was it everybody wanted to know cuz I went back and I looked and I didn't see anything it wasn't a big Todo it just made me laugh a little bit and pause I'm like wow I've never cared so much about something that I've seen someone and this is not something that I created this content of kicking you would have thought I I was kicking cows and then I was posting the videos I wasn't I did not create this content I just shared with it because I found it relatable here's a news flash folks social media is optional right keep scrolling keep scrolling there's more stuff out there you don't just Mo she wanted me to know that I upset her and I need to do better but she's not going to be around for me to find out if I do better or not and you don't know who he is I mean you don't know who she is no I don't but so why would you care but the best part was one of my friends goes oh we have only one mutual person in common with like he did the Deep dive to see who she was oh okay and it was like a too hyphenated name it it was just she she seems like a whole lot okay and you know what honestly I feel like she didn't belong with us anyway like glad you stuck her around and I was really kind about it I was like you know I'm sorry I I I apologize to you if I offended you have a great day wish you well right bye and I didn't have to respond I Lauren we all want to see the real I posted it I posted the real just so you could see it it's not I mean I guess it's in poor taste if you're a PE pea animal lover but it wasn't like it was injured it just fell down right like people We All Fall Down right trust me me more than others yes we do yes yeah and and as you get older you fall down as well yeah Rick what are they gonna do fire you yeah exactly come for me oh somebody else I can fire can I fire you now okay Hank really just wants to fire people good morning Patricia thanks for joining us on the show and we got some other great people to say hello to thank you all we've missed you okay can anyone tell me why my watch is giving me the contact information for fouth Hospital oh does that one read your like heart stuff I don't know get to the hospital at my watch it's the contact information for fail withth hospital really really I didn't do anything I'm just sitting here does it like monitor your heart blood pressure let's see let's see what my EKG is because that's really what we're coming to that technology my EKG isn't set up so I don't know oh okay so then you're fine I'm fine once they eliminate you know the actual Parts because um fun fact about Stephanie I like to lose everything everywhere no matter what it is my purse my wallet my keys my phone if it's not physically attached to me it's probably not coming home with me I don't know why I am this way but I when they invent the chip that I can just have inside my body or give me a retinol scan I'll be good to go that'll be my time to shine speak speaking of speaking of keys and phones yes I have a question about airport security okay and why we can't do it better after all these decades why is it that you get in line at airport security take everything out of your pockets so it can be X yep and then you go through another section of airport security and you get x-rayed why can't you keep your stuff in your pockets and get X-ray together I feel like this is just a measure to kind of watch your behavior also oh okay it's a certain amount of time that they can go back and if something happens but also in the moment kind of assess what kind of person you are okay your patience level do you look suspicious I feel like this is all purposefully done I just saw meme the other day it's like can't we just separate airport security to the people that have never flown before and the people who know what they're doing oh God and they take your shoes off right that's I mean they don't do that in Europe anymore yeah they don't take your shoes off and you don't have to take your belt off Y in Europe it's a lot of it well it's also airport dependent some of them care and some of them just don't oh no oh you oh you're right some of the smaller airports fine ahead right you know some of them are or you can keep your electronics in your in your backpack oh you got to take him out and put him in a separate box every time please well I was just looking at the basically cartel like behavior of the airlines that are now charging upwards of $75 per bag1 billion dollar in just bag Revenue I was um that's gross robbery flying home yesterday an article popped up um about I think it was maybe from K Nast or something I don't know that was talking about how the uh carry-on baggage Bonanza or bubble is is going to break soon yeah because people are coming on and ironically it happened about the same time I was I was reading the article because people you know when when we originally did carry-ons it was for like you know if you're only going overnight and you got a little suitcas right well what's happening now is people are packing for two weeks well because they forced us to do that carrying it on we do that because they forced us to do that oh yeah there was a woman who got on um the plane yesterday had this turned in 100 bucks for a bag it's ridiculous she had this carry-on luggage she couldn't lift it above into the compartment so she asked one of the flight attendants he went to pick it up excuse me and he dropped it he said ma'am you need to check this right he said I can't live that up we need to have Cam Bob into one of our shows every once in a while because he has some of the best stories he flies uh for Delta and he just has some of the best stories somebody tried to bring in a German Shepherd like they put it in a carryon I'm not kidding like the stories he has are amazing also crazy and the people in wheelchairs who can walk wow I saw a lot of that yesterday getting on the plane is sitting in the wheelchair and then all of a sudden you know oh I don't need it anymore and bum bum bum yeah I'm on the plane first I don't eat it anymore I'm good oh come on really Karen I love cam too he's so good he's got some of the best flight stories oh I bet they're so they're so good hilarious like Make Me Cry tears of laughter what's up Dan because they see the worst of everybody Dan says that was me the German Shepherd was mine good morning Mari hello from Orlando hey Mari how are you what is I can't even imagine the one time that I did get on a plane where there was like some unruly passenger it was real bad I was leaving San Diego I just had a visit with my mom and this woman was wasted and I mean we're talking s in the morning wasted she sat there and peed her pants oh yeah in her chair they had to stop we didn't even leave they had to go BR they brought in a new row of I yeah I don't know what happened but they brought in a brand new row swap your microphone I don't know I don't know what you did over there I didn't do I didn't do pull up the other one how's that yeah it's good I don't can you hear me now what did you do didn't do anything so they brought in a whole new row of chairs and we had to we were an hour and a half late even leaving it was absolutely it was Virgin Atlantic I never flew them again she peed the seat at 7 o'clock in the morning they did remove her though and we did get a new row of seats so that was fine wow I wonder what happened to her but that was the craziest thing I've ever witnessed myself yep Y no emergency Landings or anything wild just I mean I've never I have flown a lot and I've never seen anything crazy like that anybody got a good airplane Story please share it with us oh here we go you know we love our crazy crime here we go sandwich police had a couple of good ones this week yes a 911 call was received from a woman grocery shopping in a local Taylor she confirmed it was an accidental dial and she was not reporting she was being robbed but that would have been understandable with the price of groceries 100% 100% the FTC actually blocked a merger I guess Kroger was trying to merge with Albertson's and um they said no it's not happening it's it will drive food costs higher like I can't imagine no speaking about cost being higher Wendy is is going to start implementing surge pricing which means the busier it is like lunchtime they're going to charge more how does that work well somebody doesn't understand the law of supply and demand right because if you up the price people aren going to go no but they just wait outside for when it's slow oh exactly we'll just wait you go ahead right I mean there's got to find some order in there how is that exactly going to work I I I I I I don't know I mean it was was on the news this morning and even the the the newscasters were like so exactly what you said so what am I going to do stand outside till it's 101 or 202 right and go in and get my burger I mean that's insane yeah that is strange I don't know how that would combat doing anything I don't doesn't sound like it would help anything another another classic from the sandwich police individual reported that she had not heard from her great grandmother in a week and was concerned she did not know the address of that family member but that wasn't a problem because the woman was known to police the great-grandmother yes the police knew the great grandmother how do you not know your great I'm so worried about my great-grandmother I don't know her address or anything what's her name oh we know who she is officers performed a well-being check and all was fine yeah I feel like I want to know more about that story now I need to meet the players can you imagine your great-grandmother is well-known to the police uh right yeah that's n she must be fun oh I bet she's load of fun Michelle if I'm gonna pay more I'll drive down to the knack for real Burger you aren't kidding those are delicious Pro tip if you have outstanding warrants you probably shouldn't speed through town once again I need to meet these people I want to know and if you don't follow the sandwich police blog folks you have to definitely they're just you know and they have some you know funny little bits like this but you also get to see all the crap that they give with yeah it is a lot of nonsense and and the number of well-being calls and the number of intervention calls that they get involved with it's like every time you read it it's like there's more of them and there's more of them and there's more of them well that's what I'm saying I feel like the our patience has been worn thin and now we don't want to stand for anything I have to talk about my weekend a little bit I'm I don't know if I'm mentally ready to talk about it oh is anyone going to be offended if you talk about it probably okay all right stand by to be offended whoever you are I wouldn't be offended I just had to write a hotel review that I don't think I I didn't want to write the review what I didn't want to have to relive the review what were you doing in the hotel cliff and I decided

exactly what I envisioned is he making it hit himself for you of course oh I mean you can you can rent those things you know no no we have our own okay you have to make it hard on yourself don't you listen he's got that Cricut Machine over there and he's gonna use it oh my gosh Mariana has one too and she doesn't use it he actually uses it I forget what he was doing the other day he was laminating RFID cards or something I I don't know what the hell they were but basically so you can like scan well Emily our office lady she's Fabulous by the way she's the with the baby right yes Savannah and her were in yesterday um she was like why don't we get these business cards they're not paper they're just like the scan and I was like oh Cliff you can do that for cheaper right of course I can he can oh so we have all these business cards you could just scan and pulls up the station scan and pulls up the yeah it's cool oh good so we can hand them out to people and say no you keep it you just rub it on someone's phone and they have your info excellent right oh good because we got to do that some and I tried it with an Android phone it also works even better right so it works with both phones I was like well this a little Nifty thing yep because we have we have a captured audience on Saturday well then that we can really you know indoctrinate them about lemonade

course so that's the first of our fests then we've got an October Fest which is the following weekend Patty's weekend Saturday Sunday rinse and repeat all kinds of shenanigans we're very excited for it and I was excited to see talking about our friends at knockabout that my friend Jerry Thornton and Fitzy Mar you don't know this because I don't think you've seen it yet Jerry thoron if you're still watching Jerry thoron and Fitzy are going to be at knockabout in June I think very cool yeah got some great lined like all kinds of shows lined up over at knockabout we're really having a good time over there as far as artists and entertainment so check out their schedule as well they do a really nice job they do and they're going to do even better this summer the work that they've been doing this off season getting things in place and everything when the summer hits that place is going to for it it's going to be jaming boys and girls I had a great conversation with Patty Smith and I want to share what the Samson fund is doing they are absolutely phenomenal if you don't know about this fund they've been around for 37 years and last year they assisted 110 animals and what they do is you know what happens your dog or cat needs emergency surgery they obviously you have to pay a little bit it's 20% or something like that but they absorb the rest of the cost and that's pretty incredible what they do and you know how expensive animal surgery is so I will be sharing my findings with uh Patty and our conversation probably on the show tomorrow definitely tune in and check in almost time to get some Shamrock Shakes the best thing McDonald's has uh surge pricing or not you're right no no surge pricing okay and they're also on door Dash firsttime home buyers yes I saw this story and I was like I don't I would never want to buy my childhood home but they're buying their childhood homes they're coming back yep yep and and and what they're doing is some of them are buying it from their parents right because one of one of the ways around the affordability crisis that people have been talking about is what's called intergenerational living so you come back in and you buy Mom and Dad's house or you buy a house that's big enough for for all of you and it's starting to move the needle a little for firsttime home buyers because they have Mom Andor dad's help with you know with the with the down payment or you know to help with the um help with the financing the interesting thing that I find so interesting about this is we have a lot of fair housing laws and we're not supposed to talk about this is a home that's good for intergenerational living because that somehow violates fair housing laws really oh yeah but but yet people are selling houses for it's it's it's kind of weird I think I think we're working our way through it but yeah it's a it's a great way for uh people to become first-time home buyers yeah it's it's well you know it's a different Market than when we bought our first homes the cost of homes is absurd and to have 20% down for well you don't have to have 20% down what do you have to have you don't have to well there were all kinds of different if if you go to a reputable reputable lender they have have all kinds of and I hate to use the word programs because when you talk about programs people think oh yeah what happened it l to 2008 when they gave away money it's not that at all it's it's various options that lenders now have available to help people get start I think people are understanding that though it's more like getting a credit card you got to figure out who where the interest rates are what is the this what is that so if you kind of equate it to right getting into where your tier of your credit score is what you qualify for what you're good at yeah stressful yeah and they they look at they look at other um other things I believe it's cap cod5 they have programs for First Responders teachers you know people who work in the in the medical profession small businesses nurses we're working with them right now and all of and and all of that small businesses um Cape Cod this is going to turn to commercial for Cape Cod 5 but just remember us right Cap Cod Cap Cod 5 has has a program that now that you can borrow up to 10% of the um cost of the home or the cost of the mortgage to use for repairs that's nice so if you're being buying a $500,000 home you can borrow an additional 50,000 for repairs the trick is you have to have bids and contractors okay you have to ready to do this you can't say okay I need 50 Grand I'm going to redo my kitchen I'm going to get my buddies and two cases of beer I'll get to it P Patty Lane is gonna go no gotcha doesn't work that way well it's good to know and it's good to know that you have options yeah yeah they're trying to make it easier they're saying now that rates could get to the fives by the end of the year but in the meantime if you're if if you're waiting for the rate you could miss the house you need yeah well that's exactly it I just saw article that came out you know my morning stack of garbage that comes out and everybody's got their newsletter but one of them was like Buy Buy Low sell high and it was like well I think people are actually kind of there we're we're waiting for that moment and it seems to be right now who knows prices are seem to be leveling I'm never gonna win Hank no no and the other thing that's happening is I've aced this lot in life yep yep we're seeing a lot not a lot but I mean we're seeing price reductions because people are not listening to their real estate professional and and they're saying well you know the house up the street the house the house up the street went for 75,000 more than you think my house is worth I want to Market it for 75,000 more and as you know you say okay that that's fine you gotta understand it though I mean been in there we'll give it a go and then what we always do is we say to the people okay that's great look we'll give it a shot it's your call how much you want to um sell it for let's give it two weeks and see what happens yeah and if nobody calls and if no one comes for the open house then probably not the right price can you send them a newsleter that says do better I'm just curious not only have we unfollowed you but you need to do better so there's that Nate says the only childhood home he'd want to buy was his in the Carolinas Carolinas are pretty but they're also getting crazy oh yeah Carolinas are the next Florida yes well that's because Florida's full yeah Florida's full yeah a lot of people going to Carolina now exactly it's been that way for a while I think though yeah yeah but it's picking up now because Florida is is enough in the price of homes in Florida it's just crazy stupid who's got AT&T as their carrier did you experience the woe of being shut off and not being able to use your phone are you happy you're gonna get $ five dollar yeah right I was like wow that should fix everything thanks at T&T y thanks I can buy a um uh what can I buy with five zero things right um but also I I hope no one was in an actual emergency situation yeah but it goes to show how dependent we are on on technology it's scary right it's not nobody has a landline anymore you know folks and there's a reason why we had landlines I had I had a very weird dream this morning when I was in and out of my sleep and uh I was remembering I it was like a military thing I don't know what I was watching something on TV or something where I had I had no phone I had no nothing I was out there just by myself could have died who knows and I was like that was kind of scary yeah I really think about that moment that I was in where I didn't have my own personal device to reach out for help yep I didn't get five dollar then and and where where we live in The Villages it used to be required villes it used to be required to have a landline and they got rid for safy yeah and they got rid of that requirement now there's a button on the bedroom wall oh well that's good that you can that you can push I didn't know you had a panic button in your house that's great we do although we've been told don't push it just just call yeah right yeah by the time we get there just call we'll be there it's good little service that you've got oh yeah oh yeah I mean if the Fallen I can't get up but if I can't get up got no can't reach it can't reach it anything else going on in the world of Hank that you want to address today oh

students wow and 200 of them were did not get fed because they're not from families that can afford to feed them and they do they don't eat and Jenny was like devastated I mean it that it's awful and so she was it's just awful and she was just sharing her very raw feelings about witnessing that first hand send the kids to school and 200 of them and but there's no food for because the parents have to pay for the food so there's no like it's not a free lunch or subsidy situation they can at least afford for them to go to school but they can't afford for them to eat wow and it's it's really truly upsetting like think about that especially since they just passed pretty much free lunch here in Massachusetts probably forever but since Co that was one of the benefits of that but I mean can you imagine sitting next to someone and them not being able to eat they we wouldn't do that here before anyway they' just stack up your lunch charges i' get that phone call from um by the way your kid has 40 bucks on their lunch blah blah blah blah and I'm like my kid went to school with lunches then we found out Cody was having two lunches he's he's just a growing boy that's it that's it but I mean that was really really devastating for them to to be in the presence of so yeah it was not all just Beauty beautiful sunsets um and and beautiful animals so yeah it was it was terrible I really really feel for that situation um but there there is some joy in that and she will share that with you the the good the bad the ugly and um all the stuff that she's bringing back for sustainability and food
