studio together where have you been well where have I not been yes I've been traing around the world the globe if you will yes dealing with a lot of soccer well they love soccer in Europe it was mental like mental I had never experienced anything sort of like the Euro Cup before yeah and I didn't realize why there were hordes of people all over the place yep and then I was like oh wait yeah socc soccer they love soccer yeah yeah well and especially when we were in Berlin it was the first time that they've had this specific tournament in like 20 years the Euro Cup yeah yeah so they hadn't had it there in so long so people were rabid yeah and I'm not exaggerating like it was I've never heard a deafening Roar of a stadium of crazies in my entire life all dressed alike and I mean I can say we've seen championships here in New England and and P Patriots and hockey but never have I heard the deafening Roar of an entire country yeah of people screaming like we did so it was it was pretty incredible actually see the thing about soccer is unlike any other sport anyone can play it yeah so everybody can be invested in it because hey I can do that I can play kickball I can play soccer so not like them well no no no not like them I was telling you before he went on I was watching the Mexico I think it was Uruguay game the other night I st I stumbled into it they um stretchered off three players in the second half oh oh I mean and and it wasn't like you see you know soccer players you know they fall and they hold their knee and you think they're never going to walk again and then they get up a minute later and they're running back up and down the field these guys were clobbered and they were stretch it off and this is soccer this is soccer right and nice friendly game oh hello Cindy you are not late you are just in time Jackie welcome thank you for having us and enjoying us she said we missed you and Ashley I have not seen your face here in a while

isn't that the worst part oh yeah well they've they've relieved of his duties or something they State Police but that doesn't mean his job either pardon that doesn't mean he loses his job either no but he sent those text messages that were not very complimentary apparently of of of her but yeah and it's going to be the same people and and the same lawyers and and the same prosecutors and it's obnoxious it is it sucked our soul away and now we have to go through that again and I don't even know why I don't know why we all somehow found ourselves getting so invested in this person who we we never knew and all of a sudden I don't say we well all of a sudden we're caring about the results of her trial and we didn't even know her I know it's just so bizarre yeah see Ashley it's Karen Reed sucked absorbed me and now it's temporarily over take a break will you right I mean and people were at the at the um at The Rotary at the bridge free Karen Reed what I know yeah that sounds like you

out in front of a live audience and and perform and and try out their stuff because you're right in the summertime there are so many venues and opportunities and and people doing stuff so many cool places to go thank you very much T thanks for joining us this morning good morning to you my daughter had her first night of work at the melody tent very good did who did she see last night it was

energized from from work and it's not easy work working concessions no uh and and feeding everybody and making sure everybody gets drinks and making sure all the like it's hard work back there and I've never seen her she floated into the house and woke me up from a dead sleep Mom I did this it was great I had fun like that made my heart Happy so anytime you've got a teenager that's excited to go to work thank you very much for that opportunity to was awesome she's very personable so the fact to constantly interact with with folks who just must have just must have love it I mean because the line for beer never sto yeah oh yeah absolutely T said it was almost like working with you because she's got your laugh and your sense of humor so we crack the same bad jokes it was very apparent after three weeks of spending basically the same bedroom together that we literally answer each other's sentences and crack the same bad jokes and laugh at the same dumb things um to the point at the end of it she just laughed I mean she really came home a different person yep um just really more comfortable in herself I feel a little bit better sending her off to college in September but uh we're we're still dealing with all of that oh it's just been one thing after another but she's been handling it and doing it herself good I know I Salem State still Yes Salem State still she you know dealt with all of her financial paperwork yesterday herself good went online and was dealing with all of this stuff on her own which was very nice I came up from the morning show yesterday and she's sitting there having a cup of cappuccino with my husband as my husband's doing a little bit of laptop work and I'm like oh must be nice you two right your leisurely breakfast this morning just like we're in Europe we'll have a little cappuccino right where's the where's the the meat platter with the boiled egg I love breakfast in Europe it um we didn't do too much of it because we were either traveling on grabbing a croissant I mean there's nothing like big I was gonna say there's nothing wrong with grabbing a croissant somewhere in Europe it's not a problem no no no no no so I will miss those breakfasts very very much but today is back to the gym for me oh I kind of miss the rush and go and slapping a 15 kilogram backpack on my back by the way it was confirmed in weigh in that I was five whole they mocked me because I was the slowest of the group but you had the heaviest but I had the heaviest backpack and all of the stuff you know Mom where the pack mules so I'm the one carrying the laptop bag the this bag my Murs the day pack to this thing so I literally looked like a sherpa I had like bag bag backpack on and shout out to Aaron threads and also our friends over at Buzzy fingers both of my handmade bags survived not only survived they thrived and the abusive situations that I put them in so thank you to our capod seamstresses that just absolutely crushed it thank you everything worked out great well Michael Michael Anthony picked us up to take us to the airport when we left for Florida and we had suitcase and suitcase and suitcase and he said to me you know Stephanie and her family all they had were backpacks and they're going to Europe for like two and a half weeks I don't know how they're going to do it we were going to to Florida for for a week and you would have thought we were going to Europe for two and a half weeks no we had we had just backpacks we traveled light and uh we really did work as a great team nobody got lost nothing got stolen show up like you know that's the stuff you worry about when you're like traveling with your teenagers there was one tour that we were on we took some terrible go GH tour when we were in um I forget where we were Prague and uh my husband loves these stupid ghost tours because you get to see like the underbelly or like the Crips underneath these old cities um and so the tour guide was awful he threw bad joke after bad joke I was like what are we doing this is terrible but what happened at the beginning of the tour was some woman panicked had lost her 16-year-old son the two of them were supposed to be on our tour and she's like I lost him he has no cell phone he has no cell phone signal a 16-year-old with no cell phone that's what I said wow so I don't know if they had just arrived and maybe they didn't deal with like the chip situation or maybe they didn't plan for not having a cell phone or service or whatnot yeah because you have to get the international service you just can't use your own so I guess they had planned for this tour and this woman the I just my heart went out to her because she looked so frantic trying to find her teenager but then it made me laugh a little bit because I was like your 16's probably bellied up in a bar somewhere right because they can yes they they'll be fine he'll be fine he'll show up yeah they knew where the hotel he's like I asked her does he know where your hotel is yes he knows where the hotel is just hang out there you're better off just hang he'll come he'll come back he may have a girl on his arm or two but other than that you know can I take these home I found these mom can I take these home with me we had a very funny moment as we were sitting in some very big tourist trap of a gypsy show that we happened to be in and they were blowing fire in a basement restaurant like fire I was like this would never fly in the United States oh oh no oh my God can you imagine Facebook this show would be shut down in three seconds they're blowing straight up fire at these people small children running around everywhere Brooks Jagged edges everywhere this place is a death trap but bring on the fire right they're much more lowkey about things than we are aren't they there's no safety there whatsoever if they tell you not to go somewhere then you don't go there because you will die there was just like this little string and you look over and there's like a 400 whatever it was drop 400 meter drop and you're like oh wow yeah you definitely don't want to go up there nope nope but they don't care just die they just they just roll with it they they're so calm about things that we just get our undies in a bunch about yeah right speaking of our aunties in a bunch today is actually Independence Day we've got fireworks that are happening in chattam in Orleans um the Continental Congress declared today as the day that we had our separation from Europe right bye-bye UK hate to see you go we hate to see you go we've been fine here up until like fairly recently I feel like yeah up until last week what was it Thursday night those St was that those two guys old guys from the Muppets that that sit up in the balcony I think it was worse and connect com Waldorf and Statler yes I thought that's who I was watching for the brief moment that I saw it and I went now I'm on vacation I can't Marty burmel sent me the cover of the New York Post today that had Jill Biden who she was doing some photo shoot for Vogue and then there's this photo of B Joe that just like looks just what I was like oh that's not a great photo that's not that's not a great he didn't do himself well actually both of if that was embarrassing if if if Joe hadn't had his problems initially Well we'd still be talking about both of them because because neither neither one of them did a good job and I don't care whose side you're on neither one of them did a good job not that I love the French but the French have just now put this woman into the political play She's 28 years old and she's given M the Run of his life he's end up having to put her on as uh know Chancellor or whatever it is this is what we need we need a little young blood who is ready to take a sacrifice and throw themselves to the lamb we need some young people in here to shake it up a little bit we were having this conversation with my kids because we were steeped in history we're in all these cool historical places and we started talking about the the our found our founding fathers and the people that were the ones that made the change for this country which by the way they were like 18 19 20 years old when they were doing all of these things writing these documents showing up for all these vot were young for sure they were teenagers where are you teenagers can you step it up because we're tired we're not making sense anymore you kids need to step it up I don't want to hear about it anymore do something make some changes because I can't we can't handle this please I mean and and what I think when Ronald Reagan ran for president people were all concern because he was 69 and he was quote unquote too old like really nobody wants to do it it's we'd love to see somebody 69 years old running well since we're here talking about neurosis and then crazy I figured we'd talk about this article that I ran across today that I saw that dancing can keep you from becoming neurotic and I thought we all need to do a little bit more dancing but what happens if you can't dance I I don't think that it matters the type of dance can because I can't dance so no I think that just the act of doing the dancing dancing can keep you from becoming neuronic it's a powerful way to express yourself reveals a lot about your personality and now researchers have also found that dancers may have better mental health than the average person with two left feet so if you want to their methodology on this one by the way they did this study in Sweden and Germany collected all the data five big personalities openness conscience ious nness um extroversion and agreeableness and neurosis and they said all of that was better when you started to dance okay so guys get out there however it is that you can dance well see guys generally speaking guys look dumb when they dance who cares what you look like I know the women always look better when they dance guys look guys look dumb good morning Deb thanks for joining us what's up Robert so many times we just we just look stupid I miss you no somebody posted a photo of me dancing from the

happened to you and Mari yeah we we I'm not I'm not ready to divulge the name of the hotel yet um but it's a national chain it was the the flagship hotel and you spent way too much money to have that happen to you and and when we got there we have bites and we figure well it's Florida it's warm it's humid and then within a couple days I got up one morning and my legs looked like they had been attacked by I don't know what well long story short notified the hotel they were a little slow and responding and the when we've really really real realized we were in trouble is that Mari went to go to bed and she turned back the covers and there were bugs we thought they were bed bugs but they said no no don't worry about it they're just gats oh much better oh okay I'm surprised when I went in the pool people didn't get out that's how bad your legs look oh my legs were a mess an absolute mess and they they the manager of the hotel the manager of the hotel was very good very responsive his staff not so much and it it looked like that we were at least going to be compensated a day or two because they moved us to another room and they screwed up our laundry and whatever um but there's been no charge and no charge and we figured okay he's a good dude he he did the right thing driving over here this morning Mari called me and of course I mean at 6:30 in the morning A4 7 and mari's calling and of course I immediately think oh God what they charged us for our full week oh yeah that's that's unacceptable no no so we're gonna we're gonna work on it and then we'll talk about the whole even number two gate resp responded and took care of that situation I mean bugs I just as bad it's just as bad right my dad says that Kappa bar are native to the the Amazon well thank you Johnny V for stepping in thank you and look we understand in a in a big hotel like that with people coming to go and stuff happens you know stuff happens getting eaten alive in your bed by bugs is not something that you sign up for a higher end Hotel no no but what I mean is but what I mean is there's a lot of rooms there's a lot of people and within any individual room something weird can happen

people here we full it was sorry if I'm coughing folks but um I don't know it just it didn't seem me I mean obviously I've lived here long enough that I know you know that that tourists come and and and all of that and that'll make it more crowded it just seemed like people were like Panic buying I don't know why that's that's how it just how it struck me seemed frantic good morning Don hello to our West Coast listeners FR there's an awful lot of bread and milk like guys why you know I don't I don't I mean there was nothing in our refrigerator when we got home so I mean I had to go to the

dissecting them yeah probably yeah Don some are on the cape sucks for the people that live here is we have small Windows small glimmers of why we live here occasionally but yeah it's usually the tourists that that tend to uh right muck it up a little for us but it feels like a different kind of Summer this summer and I don't know why it feels I don't know it feels more positive it feels better it feels more exciting I don't know I don't know what it is but I'm a lot more excited about this summer maybe because the weather is nicer last summer rained every weekend that's true we've

there no and the same family had a wedding this weekend no one know seems to know who the family is and the the very good rumor SL story is that the entertainment was out John well I got to tell you

active this season not looking forward to it if you're in the Caribbean or no people there uh they're buckling in Barrel is rolling through they said it's um category five at this point yeah well that's why some people may know this insurance companies are taking the opportunity to raise their rates oh because we're because we're due for something so they're raising their rat so everybody look at your home insurance if there's a if there's a hike that's the reason why because I've been highly looking at Insurance lately I don't know why maybe it's because I've been ingesting some podcasts while I've been away I'm like I really should buy life insurance I don't know what to do you guys have been getting me right now in my financial podcast they been really focusing on some of these some of these finer points and I'm like I should probably do it I'm not getting any younger this is not good yesterday I decided to just like write out what my I've got a will but I yesterday I decided after watching some Tik Tok that I was watching I was like I just better write down some of my main issues right now right and then I just left it in the safe just in case there was some questions you never know you know and have a talk with cliff in general about just in case right no he knows that I'm to be kept alive as long as possible no matter what state I'm in I will haunt them I told them that keep me alive for I don't care if I'm a damn head science is getting much better and I want to be preserved keep me around forever and you will eventually come back come back I will I told them I'd haunt them if they didn't mark my words so they're gonna um I saw some new offerings from some cup of noodles that I was curious about they had puffer fish cup of noodles puffer fish is it like it's blow darts aren't they like dangerous I'm pretty sure that they're like poisonous I guess it's a delicacy in Japan for like $100 or whatever usually those things like that are Delicacies in Japan so why are you trying to make a dollar dollar cup of noodles trying to poison meff fish yeah I'm all set with it also I saw s'mores cup of noodles no no no no no Ratchet do not mix I'm not a sweet and savory person I do not like mixing those things that should be a meal and now it's all of a sudden sweet I do not like these things separate them church and state s'mores do not belong in my cup of noodles I do not want this offering thank anyway however a local dut chain does have a s'mores donut don't like that currently or like I got one from Mariana yesterday she liked it it's a little too much for but then they'll throw a bacon on there and then I'm like no no ruining it put a bacon on my dut you don't need any of this stuff they put a bacon on anything and they think that somehow makes it better that's true I'm trying not to eat like that anymore I'm working on it even though I did 20,000 steps a day and I did lose a little bit of weight but all I did was eat fried food F and chocolate my blood work can't be great but it's good fried food see see that's the thing it's good fried food because they use good oil I don't know about that oh I think they I think I think foodwise the food is better over there we stay in a lot of airn bees and um they you know had a lot of cooking oil and stuff like that like stuff you're not going to Lug around with you and they use rape seed oil it's canola oil yeah I it can't be better for you I really I I do not believe this y oh when I would when I would travel to Italy I would I would always come home with just all kinds of oil and vinegar and and this and that because it was so much it was so much better I was so afraid that if if the plane really bounced my carryon was going to explode with all the good stuff with all the good stuff please don't lose it and I was going to make it such a mess we whizzed right through customs I didn't have to deal with any of that we brought two bottles of whiskey and a couple of choc home we didn't mess with anything once again we just had backpacks and I was like if we find anything that we really need to take home we'll get a suitcase and fill it right but I mean we just we were good we were good we were tight we were done we like we had it all maybe next time I'm not I'm not a souvenir person I did get some magnets for a couple of my friends because they specifically asked for them right but other than that we're just wear I'm not a chachki kind of girl right I'm a t-shirt I'm a t-shirt collector are you oh yeah I bought I have way too many t-shirts as it is and I bought even I bought even more well that's my husband because he stains it everywhere our our number one thing that my children were thankful that I brought with us was the damn Tide pen because between my husband and my children every single day he put a fresh shirt on and the shirt was like calling to him feed me SP feed me spill here please thank you every single day and I'm like you know you got four shirts what do you get what what are what are your plans here so at various times along the way you found a place where you we would stay in an Airbnb and we wash all of our stuff yeah then we'd start again so that's how you traveled with just the back absolutely Mari could not do that we weren't there for fashion Hank we were there for experiences I didn't care what I wore Mari couldn't do that although I was proud of her she went to um Foxwoods a couple of weeks ago with the girls yeah and her big suitcase I couldn't close it she had so much stuff in it so I was oh my God she gone for a day we're going to be gone for two nights we're going to be gone for a week but she did a good job I was actually able to close the suitcase without sitting on it and asking Mariana to help me so she did she did good this she did good this trip are you an overpacker or an under Packer sometimes I took I took a few things I really didn't need to take with me but I mean we ended up I ended up using absolutely everything that I brought with me which is a rarity MH and then it's weird because I'll go somewhere close by and bring everything so I mean right well we were lucky going to Florida shorts and t-shirts and a couple polo shirts you you didn't need luggage like that no no no and if we were going to we went to the a restaurant that the last night we were there called Colombia oh which is a Spanish Cuban restaurant that started in Tampa hundred and something years ago and it's a quote unquote chain in Florida it is unbelievable so a place like that I wouldn't feel good in shorts and a t-shirt but short and a nice polo shirt or something a sundress or something like that I mean no I wouldn't look good in a sundress no I I disagree Hank I feel like you're missing out good morning Gloria hi Erica thanks for joining us on the show this morning it is Hank it is Stephanie it is real Independence Day today it is Fourth of July week I can't believe I feel like The Summer's over now

retired so I don't know if they're up yet and and uh they got plenty of time just tag them make them watching Mari Mari will take care of it for sure uh but it was just lovely to see them and we're sitting there having dinner and I thought to myself damn I should have brought them t-shirts what's wrong with me well we just ordered some new ones so we got some new ones for that we've got some new ones for the market and uh we've got some other fun stuff because we're going to be at the demolition derby all week long at all of our shows we've got tickets there's a fair in the air and the

nonprofit we make no money so I know all about that we have a good time we entertain people we connect the community and that's what we're all about here is connecting the community you've been working feverishly on adding some shows yes folks we're we're we're we're building out the um the air schedule and within the next couple weeks we're going to be you know swinging everybody on board and you will hear voices off and on during the day besides me and Steph and a couple of other folks I like the collection of people though we've got a little bit of sports we've got a little bit of entertainment we've got some Entre preneurs we've got some self-help stuff we've got some consumer stuff yeah it's going to be good it's going to be really interesting it's a really good mix of some great Community Voices talking about some really cool stuff that's not regularly offered on any of the channels that we've got around town which is the purpose of of what we were doing and I was telling Steph before we went on the air this is not sucking up to the boss but at the um uh Farmers Market on on Sunday uh she was talking to we ended up talking to this guy from Magic 106 God I forget his name Joe Joe um and actually someone who works at Magic 106 he Joe had been at Magic 106.7 for 24 years um Cortez Joe Cortez my former student has been there for 40 years uh so we took a selfie and and whatever but um you did a great job explaining to him what it is that we're trying to do here at at Lumin Ado in terms of can in with the community and everything do you remember what you said I did we were just talking about he asked he said you know what is lemon Ado and you can always tell a radio guy sounds a little like radio tell me more and I'm like you're in radio yep he's in the production aspect of things and he's like so tell me about how you you know arrived at putting this together and I said you know we were displaced and we just started connecting all the things about radio that we loved the most the reason why we used to use local radio and go to local radio is to connect with the Community what's going on where are people what are people doing this is the new tune this is the new group that is doing something this is the new business that is in town so that's what we did we built the the farmers market we've gotten together done a great job thank you very much Patrice who has been working really hard and diligently with Rockland Trust and connecting people and we need to have a lemonade stand they're raising money right now for Tommy's place and uh this is just one of those Community Connector places that we started to amplify so it's local people that are talking about things that are happening in their life and we've got places and activities like we used to do gigs right we'd go out and go to a restaurant go to a bar talk to people hand out some great things what's going on in your life what do you like how do we entertain you so this is where this community was built we're in person we're on our digital platform and we're also doing a lot of community events and that's really what it's about so we love you to be here with us in this journey as we grow and uh we really are growing we've had over 100,000 check-ins every single month consecutively since January so that's like really really exciting news yep that's such people listening to Lemon [ __ ] so that's that's that's that's really cool whether on our stream you've got the app uh Alexa play lemon Ado radio Roku TV just be patient with Alexa sometimes you've got to say it very specifically and otherwise you get a radio station from Los Angeles and I don't understand the connection at all none you've got to enable the skill I think that that's what throws people sometimes too so whatever it is in any way that you find yourself connecting with us please do so uh our inperson events are fabulous events on Cape cot is our new group that is growing by Leaps and Bounds we're over 2,000 people right now and it's just a place for you to share what is going on in your community and we love doing that um oh and Peter and Ally Mari say said we've got to

the commission I don't even know what it would be but a 14b compound seven bedroom $22.75 million the highest pric real estate sale ever recorded on Cape Cod happened in austerville I would have thought it would have happened on one of the islands yeah yeah although there are some sections in austerville that are kind of swanky well this one looks pretty amazing yeah it looks pretty amazing

boy if you talk to some people um some people have a lot of cash well we one of our questions today as I love to post on Stephanie in the morning if you give us a like and a follow I appreciate that but it was if you could tell your 15-year-old self three words what would they be somebody put close your legs which I almost peed my pants this morning and I know her and I know her ex-husband oh my goodness so thank you very much for that early morning laugh this morning oh my God very much appreciated it listen to that advice out there boys and girls so what three words would you give your younger self I don't know I I would say believe in yourself oh all right I like that because there were times over the course of my life and career when I didn't and I should have I don't know from I I don't know what I would have told my my younger self I I really don't either that or save your money right exactly one or the other do better right I I guess I'm more formal education I I would have loved to have gotten a master's degree although this 105y old woman just got her master yes I saw that that's cool 105 years old I mean she's got the time what the hell else she's GNA do she did everything right yeah I think I'll go to school now in the time I have left oh I don't know three words is is a very short amount of time and I did get a good laugh at some of the comments that were

oh and and she'll talk about these people and you know Bob and Carol or something and I I guess get this I get this Joe B is that a husband thing I I don't know I get this Joe Biden look on my face
