heard uh father Windham kind of got into it with the chamber a little bit oh he did yeah there was a there was a priest gate really apparently they were not very happy about the parade oh really father wind or father I no I it was Windam really yeah he was a little grumpy oh because he's you know a senior priest right and so I did not know that he's a he's a very nice man he's really he was a um he he's retired from the Boston Arch dasis he retired young uh because of because of health problems and he must have been a marvelous Pastor yeah he is just a great guy he's in tune when he gets up to speak you know he he you know he's he's experienced stuff and and he's been involved with with the people in his in his Parish so so I'm surprised he was not pleased about the parking situation

your ideas and uh I was like you know what we're running with it and I did some of our end of year recap and I also made like a little podcast so you can listen to it as well because what kind of podcaster would I be if I wasn't talking about it so uh we put that out you can listen lemon Ado live wherever you get your podcast give a an eight minute me and my feelings moment talking to myself downstairs it was just good I thought so anyway and we have to figure out why my Alexa won't play Lemonade why did she hate us I I bought a brand new Alexa guys because the one we had was was really old and it really wasn't quite working I bought a brand new do you have the app on your phone I have the app on my phone and it says enabled and I ask I asked it play lemonad radio and it says all kinds of things no I one of the reasons why I brought my phone um oh yeah I I set it up twice and enabled it and I think I did so we'll have to let me know if anybody else is having an issue with their um Alexa skill I feel like we've already got it keyed to just work because we've yelled at her for so long yeah but if you enable the skill you should be able to say Alexa play Lemonade or radio it says something about tunity it's not available on tunity interesting no you're not on we're not on that no I know and and I don't know why it was looking for tunity isn't tunity the thing that you use um if you're in a a noisy bar and you and you point the phone towards the TV and it picks up the signal and you can listen to to what's being broadcast on your phone is that what they tell you to do in The Villages that's tunity kidding I've never used it before I don't know no that's tun good morning Jackie I'm pretty sure it's tunity Wayne Brown if you're out there please confirm yeah right

God that was crazy goodness here in Mash where we are the highest winds on Cape Cod 80 something miles an hour yeah crazy just 80 miles an hour I always used to get made fun of because they said oh

different it's like a wind tunnel we get it worse I don't know why yeah and and the interesting thing about this storm is the the weather forecast has kind of downplayed well you know that trash that I watch on Instagram if you're not following only and Dade I suggest you do so it's great Instagram watching but they were all like mocking the the hurricane force winds that they were having so kind of knew it was coming and I didn't know it was going to be that extensive as it was yesterday where it was blowing me off of the road I was I was trying to drive my daughter somewhere and I was like well I'm driving my little Matchbox car you had to know the weather was bad because Mari didn't go to book club well that's that's aggressive book club was cancelled she was debating whether she was

we're sorry but we're only accepting reservations for the whole week oh and I said well you know I live in mashby yeah right that's a little bit of a stretch that's a little bit of a stretch I I didn't mind taking you know Fourth of July and staying there and because we go down there anyway um but the whole that's a bummer no yeah I was really looking for we had we had a room on the first floor looking on the ocean and yeah so they took it away from you and they took it away from me they ruined said no wine in the whole country Resort next door had no eggs bread or milk I believe it has something to do with Russia but she said I didn't starve well I wanted to go to Cuba but if there's no wine I I'm not gonna be able to get my wife to go for yeah that's gonna be a tough sell for Marell yeah and I'd be looking for I would in Cuba I'd be looking for sangrias and and and all of that they have rum what do they have there I no rum maybe that's the only thing that I can think of what's good over there so how do they people at the hotel next door without eggs and stuff that's really bizarre right well I mean I'm sure they got plenty of fresh fruit and whatnot well probably no Americans can't go to Cuba but ones with EU passports can uh well I think we can get my grandp my grandmother and mari's grandparents came from well my grandmother came from Ireland mari's grandparents came from um Italy so we could get we could get dual citizenship if we wanted to get the work done do it yeah and did you see that the state department has finally caught up with the backlog on passports it's only going to take a month now like it used to yeah it really it took um I had to get Lily's redone it's her first grown-up passport but it came in like four weeks yeah yeah wend wants to know how the weed was I thought it was cigars that they made over there yeah they do tons of Cuban cigars y did you bring any of those home not that I smoked them but you may be able to make a couple of bucks with real Cuban cigars oh thank you Uncle Danny he said happy early birthday I gave him a late birthday okay I was I was naughty I have a lot of family members that have birthdays in December and I always forget them like my cousin Mitchell just had his 25th birthday happy birthday baby Mitchell I mean Kyle it was Kyle your brother so you know what most people in your family were doing I guess in the month of March oh I know I know trust me we know our kids were like Cody's born in November had a Valentine's baby I'm like ew but also not wrong that's what it is and apparently I loved August Margaritas because I got two tourus bulls also so oh really there's that oh good beverage of choice equals the child you get why has no one done that as a chart our um on um Facebook today it's how do you fold I have this thing with folding towels right now um if I could even find them I don't know what it is my teenagers have reached the Apex of just living like absolute pigs wherever they go and in their wake of things and I found this fun little thing that I wanted to talk about today in our stack of stuff 13 things successful moms give up that you should too okay because I'm I'm trying to have these realistic conversations with myself you know how I talk to myself often make my own little TV show with myself uh about expectations and I think I always fail in the expectations realm but one scratch made meals every single night that ship sailed a long time ago I do my very work family split nope can't do that no work happy hours okay being a DIY goddess that's a joke that social media addiction making it to every practice and every rehearsal that's also something that we really stink about saying yes to every friend invite doing everything for your kids also failing in that realm giving up your house to your children and their stuff I'm I've been fighting this battle I've been fighting this battle for 20 years yep I'm still fighting it only it seems to get worse every day and the only thing lost is my sanity um overc committing which I really have a problem doing yeah yeah you too I was gonna say that's you it is definitely me uh getting up with your kids every night I'm not doing that the idea of the perfect work Persona what you get is what you get yeah I can I can vot for that guys this is it you get what you get and you don't get upset installing on switching jobs no I I made the switch a long time ago it's five years now no three years three full years now wow feels like five years feels like a long time I saw somebody post a meme about working 8 hours so I could work for myself just so the 40 hour so I could avoid a 40 hour job right doesn't work that way you can speak to that too yes oh it doesn't work that way at all what's going on in the real estate realm things are cooking up huh things are getting interesting interest rates are in the sixes now that's good right yeah it was eight I mean where it's been right it was eight it's six I don't know if it's going to get any lower but what's going to happen is is interest rates drop prices are going to rise because more people are going to get in the market and there's going to be more competition so it's exactly what those of us in the in the in the profession said was going to happen as opposed to the you know Facebook posters and the talking heads on well I'm surprised I've seen newly listed homes in December which I don't feel like we normally do and I was like maybe because the weather is nice I don't know maybe because people are done here I don't know people are deciding that it's time to um um you know that it's time to jump in it's time to start to sell their house yeah well if you sell it during the holidays um one of the neat things about selling a home dur during the holidays is our homes never look better yeah than they do during the holidays so when your Witter hopefully has the professional photographer come in to take the photos your house looks top-notch so that immediately helps with the with the sale and the other thing about the lots of things but selling your home during the holidays is there's a lot of flexibility because the people who are buying it need the same kind of flexibility that YouTu right right you know because there's there's vacation and there's holidays and there's people coming and and and everything else and you know if people are looking to make a make a switch before the second half of the school year starts this is the time to do it yeah and this is the time as well the end of the year when people find out if they're getting transferred in their job so people are starting to to Noodle around so the people who are out looking for houses right now they're dead serious yeah they're not just they're not just oh hey that's a nice day let's go look at houses I need to live somewhere in January what do I do right where is it going to happen yeah but I think people think by by March it's G to be rocking and rolling again okay interesting because there's so much pent up demand there's so many people and I think we've talked about this before there were so many people who need to move who haven't you know there's the there's the young family who bought the two-bedroom one bath wrench when they had one one one baby now they've got three kids and they got to get out of there and you've got Grandma all along in the four bedroom two and a half bath house and she's got to get out of there so the cycle will will start because Grandma needs to go to the small ranch the the family in the small ranch needs to go to the house the Grandma's in yep so it'll get there it'll get there so if you're you know it's gonna be fun well if you need um Hank or Mari let everyone know how to get a hold of you because we do you can you can find us at 77429 3915 or check out our website making move with mario.com perfect Lauren good morning thanks for joining us yeah Hank and I

that involves Wendy the pooh oh I didn't see that one no I didn't either and there are there are a couple of others that actually did kind of well in the theaters one that was the subject of a lot of controversy as to um you know why people why why Studios didn't um didn't pick it up and yada y yada uh but there's some interesting movies on the list but I didn't know about the Min the Poo slasher movie but it's number one okay as like the world's worst movie of 2023 right yeah it seemed that way that's at noon time on Lemon Ado Lauren says we're up to six adults two dogs three cats and a snake and many one bathroom and how many rooms do you have one La Lauren has one bathroom I think it's three beds one bath though do you have an out house do you need to move yeah those boys need to go outside for sure speaking of bad movies I uh took in the new Julia Roberts Ethan Hawk M hershela Ali movie on Netflix and it was Leave the World Behind yes it has now been voted and I'm not going to ruin it if you have not watched it as one of the world's worst movie endings ever ever really it is a bad ending because I'm kind of I'm not a movie guy as you know yeah but I've been kind of intrigued by by some of the movies that um are in the theaters and showing up on Netflix like that one so I can cross that off the list I want to watch brunstein good it's a little bit scary but also the ending is like what what yeah okay and what's the one about snow with they like um caught in a snow tunnel or something and that's another one that is it just called snow NE no I don't know what it is help me folks something about snow I think but the but the preview has people in a tunnel with snow and then there's snow coming at them Let It Snow Yeah probably oh snow girl let it I don't know I bet it's I don't I don't know either way either way they're not getting huge ratings right now the Society of the snow maybe I don't know something about snow Society of the snow okay well yeah it's not King it's not highly rated right now so but the lonard Bernstein movie is that's a documentary no no Bradley Cooper oh really stars is Leonard Bernstein Burstein I'm not which yeah I mean I remember he used to do young people's concerts on on TV and that's how I first got into class uh became aware of classical music and orchestras and and all of that yeah he was very interesting character saw the pops went to the pops last week oh I know how was that wicked cool I haven't seen them in a really long time my brother um ordered the tickets very early we were in the first balcony all the way down closest to the stage yeah we were in those seats where you look at and where you look and say I wonder who those people are that they've got seats right there oh fun were you near a bathroom though yes okay no actually no we were near the Ladies Room the men's room was absolutely around the cor see that's what I hate when you're in places like that because you got to go seven miles and like usually it's like okay intermission and now I'm going to be a salmon swimming Upstream trying to get to the bathroom and trying to get it all done and grab a drink or something or a snack and then get back to my seat it's it's a real fight yeah the way syphony Hall is set up the ladies rooms are on one side and the and the men room are on the other so you lost that that draw yeah yeah but all the you know I mean Mari and my sister-in-law and you know a couple of friends that they older women friends that they brought with them they were they were all thrilled because the ladies rooms were right there yeah that's an issue yes the older the older we get it becomes an issue right I never thought I'd be here talking about as a close to the bathroom but right well here it is welcome right you find out where the exit is and then you find out where the bathroom is my age s good morning Marie I hope you're having a joyful Christmas season I saw that 81% of people um purchase their animals something for Christmas not a surprise there oh I don't think we've bought ours anything yet no I'm surprised we haven't I also saw that cats also play fetch just on their terms which made me laugh today which made me laugh I was like that's a very cat thing to do no we have a we have a Gest fireplace Y and and they've taken to in front of the gas fireplace and I'll get up in the morning or or or whatever and I won't turn it on and they'll stand in front of the gas five place the two of them and look over their shoulder little gargoyles and look at me like well are you going to turn it on or not let's do this let's go chop chop and they'll stare me down that's hysterical stare me down and then I go all right they know they get what they want yes that's right that's cats for sure yes but 81% of people are out there shopping for their pets which is not a surprise but it didn't remind me of that Saturday Night Live skit when the kids are all getting all of their presents and Mom got a robe that was it and it's like a whole song where she only she just got a robe and they got all these magical things and she's like and my stocking is empty because I just put it up there because it would look weird in photos still that's all she got that reminds me what somebody wanted a Rob for Christmas I haven't bought it yet get it done Hank don't tell anybody you're welcome Mari jogging brains over here but that better not be the only thing that you get her oh no oh no no no no no no no no no we don't do presents cliff and I don't do gifts for each other we just do stock we we tell each other that and then it just sort of it sort of gets out of control I know we can't we can't stop and right and I don't know because what happens with us is we said we don't want anything oh I don't know and then as you get closer you go but you know what I could use but you know what you know you know what I don't you know you know this Stu really doesn't work anymore or whatever I could really use another one of those socks and underwear always work for us we're like socks razors like toiletry items that's what I put in their stockings at this point it's like all Necessities Mari had an aunt who I take up space who I never met who traditionally gave people underwear Christmas for years and years and years that's kind of f it's kind of weird when you're giving like your grownup nieces and nephews underwear right it makes me laugh good that's good stuff crazy on Irene like thank you at at Rand Carter Funeral um one of their uh grandkids got up and spoke and he was very funny he was a wonderful speaker and he talked about how through the years she was one of those grandmothers that I think it was Christmas and and birthdays they got a card with $20 in it I love that for decades yeah they got a card with $20 in it yeah they're 40 years old they got a card with $20 in it that's awesome I mean think do the math if you put all of that in the little savings account you probably would have had quite a handsome sum at some point oh I'm sure I you know it means a lot my son's birthday is like right around Thanksgiving so him and I kind of always get hos with stuff like that but my mother-in-law always make sure card with 20 bucks no matter what her situation is no matter where she is she will always send them a card with 20 bucks yeah and it's something that her her mother did Birdie Albertina from Portugal right same thing 20 bucks says love in Portuguese I don't know what it is but there was always 20 bucks that's it y here you go nice crisp 20 right they went to the bank and they got it from your AOA Ru and that was it that's what you got they went to the big machine and 100% yep you know what chriv me crazy you go to um some Bank machines um at at one particular Bank the one um across from where like roach Brothers is and if you like get like $100 yep you get 250s oh unless you ask to set the specific denomination and then you can kind of mess it up I kind of like that though I like the bill mix yeah I do too but like the first couple times I got the 250s it was like what am I going to do the $50 bill I can't I mean obviously you can but you know going up to the drive-thru at dunks or something yeah right you know and you bought a coffee for 402 here have a 50 they don't love that so much they don't love that so much although a $50 bill doesn't go very far these days either no it doesn't no it doesn't and the Dunkin Donuts That Time Forgot it's got to be almost ready to reopen it looks really good yeah I I talk about it every time I pull in I was like Hank's going to be so happy I know it this is done that's going to work yesterday the huge sign that says we're closed blew over I saw that it's still down by the way listen to this so i' good morning Dave hegner I feel as if I've told my children so many lies over their entire life because I learned it from my aunt you know it was one of those things you know my grandfather just the Irish yep jokester yep always full of jokes always full of lies and when the kids were real little that's when my aunt was like oh no you don't see we can't go to the playground yeah they had a big fire today but they're going to rebuild maybe later on next week we'll have to see how it goes or when they couldn't read and full well know that they couldn't read going through the dunks line and looking up the thing and be like don't you see that sign no Donuts today only coffe for Ms sorry that's it says right there can't you read knowing that they can't

cried wolf to my kids well that thanks Auntie that D yes needed to be remodeled it did it did lately I've had to run into my car and get more money when I'm at a register I said gosh everything's gone

sandwich news to report which I you need to get better only because I need to know what's happening with the sandwich police report it's one of our favorite things that we like to discuss in our crazy crime yes we've made it a local thing I did laugh however last week when we missed one a wellness check was initiated for an individual who didn't show up for a doctor's appointment officers made contact they just overslept oh check on your neighbor right they may they may have a doctor's appointment I don't know if they're dead or not that's how you know you're old you know you're old when if you miss a doctor's appointment because can we just check that they're alive yes we just we slept in a little bit I appreciated that so get well over there at the sandwich police we appreciate all the things that you write for us we really do but but it's popular enough that they felt it was necessary to post that oh yeah that the blog writer had been been ill oh absolutely and and would get back to it Bourne used to do it too and Bourne doesn't do it anymore may maybe the maybe the blog writer used to work in borne and and now he or she works in Sandwich oh maybe I don't I don't know but Bourne used to do the the funny stuff although Bourne still will do the things about you know there's going to be bad traffic the the tunnel and the uh oh yeah you know and the third overpass and and all that sort of stuff the third overpass well we got our money for the bridges yes certainly not in my lifetime not $372 million for our brid not that I'm wishing myself ill but I'm never going to see that what the finished bridges yeah yeah you are it's only gonna take years well if it's 10 I I may 10 you got 10 in your I got 10 I got at least 10 I hope my God I'm planning on 10 so what they're doing is they're building the new bridge over first yes so that's going to cause a lot of discomfort because I guess they're they're taking land from imminent domain and that's going to be an issue for people oh yeah that's we're going to hear about this one for yeah people are gonna be complaining but but you also know it's coming folks so yeah make a deal with the state now yeah that right they're gonna take it from you anyway so it's like what do you wait on that one get a lawyer yeah and that really stinks yeah I mean you're not gonna win you're not going to build a bridge around you no you're not going to say well damn it I'm going to stay here no matter what because it's not going to work no they take you what they want one day a bulldozer is going to show up in your front yard and your house is going to be gone whether you signed off or not and then they're gonna go oops just like all the trees when they when they cut the trees down on Route Six and they went oops we didn't mean to cut down all those trees well I still remember that the bacle where everyone was like what happened and then they and they blame the contractor and the contractor wouldn't have done it unless he or she had been told to do yeah it wasn't good I'm trying to find the story that um kind of ignited a little social flame speaking of uh all of our gripes on social media uh came from the masp message always a gem finding stuff in there yeah some woman was complaining about a certain store and I will give the store a shout out Fab Villa um they it a lot of beautiful things in there a lot of expensive things in there a lot of breakable things in there um they do a little table on the outside of the store that says leave your food and drink here right yeah so some of them is like I'm never going in there again my daughter just got a candy cane from across whatever and we went in there with a stroller and I'm like first off can you even move a stroller through that store if you've ever been in there it's like very tight aisles it's just not a place I would bring a child if you see breakables in the window of something would you bring a child with a stroller having a like everything she well my child didn't have sticky hands and didn't touch anything they were inside the stroller and then was like I'll ruin my experience I'll never go into that store again okay but otherwise I had a great day in the mashby Commons doing all of the fun stuff yep so I was I mean most people sided with the store on this one of course because there is a sign there is a table there is a thing and once again if you see a bunch of breakable glass items in a store are you going to bring a child that is eating candy in a stroller into it I just wouldn't do it when I go into a store that has that has breakable stuff in it I immediately hear my mother's voice saying put your hands in your pockets Henry and my hands go and my yeah right and I go right right right right in my pockets and if Mariana's with us I'll say the word Nana just told me to put my hands in my pockets you better as well hysterical good morning oh that's crazy we we we buy a lot of gifts at one of the um I can't think of the name of it Mari help me the the glass blowing store um out on out on 6a yeah and um Sandwich Glass right sandwich I think that's what it's called a pair point and no no I think it's Sandwich Glass and sandwich and I go minute I walk in the door right in my pocket yeah you know or I'm like this because I know me right and I'm not a little kid in the stroller with a candy cane right I I'll I'll hit get something I'll knock something over and even then Mari has to say to me um you stand a little too close to that display I know you if you know that you're going to be that person I was just kind of irked by every Karen like I'm not going to go there like giving low like reviews one star reviews because you were asked to take your kids candy cane out of the store and really like anybody really cares no um most people stuck up um stood up for this stour which I was really happy about because we need to start just saying no to people that just have them and if the kid broke the stuff and mommy was asked to pay for it how do you think that would go yeah right exactly she wouldn't she'd be she'd find it and well it shouldn't have been there and yep I am excited that we're going to get like kind of a country store I don't know how they're going to do it but k a fresh market is going to be opening inside of Rory's yes so it says a country store yep yep we'll see and can we MP folks can we please just give up on the Trader Joe's thing no one no one wants to give that up they want they're going to ride that myth until the end of time exactly it's a it's a myth there has never been as far as I know any even slight confirmation that Trader Joe's is thinking about coming to like somebody started a rumor and it just won't go away it's one of the one of those calls somebody help me out on that it's it's just got a name it's one of those urban legends that's not real it's not real but we saw it again when the cout country St was going oh I wish it was traded Jo I can't wait for tra ain't coming they're do they're doing fine right where they are Mari said Glass Studio of Cape Cod right on Route 6A thank you Mar Ashley thank you for joining us this
