SPEAKER_09

Sorry, Megadon. I forgot to give you the memo. Not that I never called, didn't it?

SPEAKER_07

No, I'm awesome.

SPEAKER_09

Okay, so you didn't call. Um, you're scheduled for today, but since you're here on time, you're in it. Here's your stop. Now Magadon is gonna give us an on the beach report. He saw the the Apache helicopters.

SPEAKER_06

We were at our condo at 71st Avenue.

SPEAKER_09

I can't believe you didn't invite me. I would have come to watch that from your windows. You've got so many thousand things going on. I never think I'm gonna come to watch that. Next time invite me. All right, good place to watch it from.

SPEAKER_07

From an air-conditioned condo.

SPEAKER_06

We would have had a party in that.

SPEAKER_07

You're welcome. Anyway, let's get back to what we're talking about. Oh, I like how he just skims right over that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Excuse me.

SPEAKER_07

Who was there that you didn't want us to be with?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Which one of you my fallutin friends was there? I had my girlfriend with me. Yeah, that's true. You did. So we were at the beach. We were sitting on the boardwalk right in front of our condo. Overhang. It was they were cooking stuff outside. So we always go over there, have something to drink. And we knew that it was going to be about three minutes after one o'clock that the jets were supposed to be coming over. Because they're starting in in Cherry Grove at one. It takes only a couple of minutes. Yeah. Not even one minute past one. We're not, we don't have our drinks. We're not setting up out there yet, because we know we got another minute. Okay. We're running a little late.

SPEAKER_07

Attention, Air Force Pilot. I got a pour my margarita. Hold on.

SPEAKER_06

And so as we're coming out, and it wasn't even one minute past, the two jets, F-35s, I think, I don't know for sure, they were very high.

SPEAKER_13

Okay.

SPEAKER_06

Going like hell, right directly almost over the hotel. So you had to actually walk out to look up and see them. Wow. And they were gone like in seconds. Seconds. Yeah. And then it was like, and I knew it was going to be a while. Then it was quite a while.

SPEAKER_07

Well they're jets, so there's that.

SPEAKER_06

Well, yeah, but you know, if they were out just a little bit over the beach, you could see it much better than looking straight up into the sun. Yeah. Anyway, it doesn't matter. So okay, we're a little disappointed because you know we didn't see them. They're they're kind of high. Again, no big deal. Nothing happened, nothing happened. And then the cargo plane came, and that was quite a ways out in the water. And that was up high because fixed wings.

SPEAKER_07

Hey, they were F-16s, by the way.

SPEAKER_06

Okay, thank you. And um that wasn't as close as what we've seen them in the past. Okay. So I said, Well, okay. Then we waited and waited, and both, and then then all of a sudden, some more planes you could see coming down the the way. Cherry Grove. And they kind of turned and went out. And I took pictures of them, and you couldn't even see them on my phone.

SPEAKER_08

Wow.

SPEAKER_06

Okay. And I got a lot of people saying, Don, you're definitely a photographer. So we were pretty disappointed, you know, to spend that time. We could have stayed home.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

A good 15, 20 minutes, maybe longer. I don't know. Wow. All of a sudden, I'm out and I got a c I got a video of it. Here comes a helicopter. One down kind of low. Over right over just out a little ways over the water.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

And I thought, oh, this is neat. You know, it's a helicopter. Then another one, and then they came two by two, and then two and it was like wow, this just made the whole damn day. Yeah, yeah. And I thought it was absolutely perfect. I was a little disappointed up until then because a 250-year anniversary. Yeah. Not to have something a little bit more, you know.

SPEAKER_09

Well, it was like piddly last year.

SPEAKER_06

Well, but this was piddly. The only thing that made it for me. That was the apostrophe. Yes, absolutely. And and they were out over the water, and you could see people waving their flags and jumping up and down in the water, and it was really neat. And then when I heard somebody put the and I have the lady's name, it was I have a woman's name that supposedly put it in somebody's texted to me. I can't find it naturally that fast. But as far as I was concerned, I don't know what happened further down Myrtle Beach to surf side. But at 71st Avenue, that's out past uh um Flamingo Grill that's up in that area. They were probably maybe a hundred feet, two hundred feet over the water. So from there was no sand going up. You know, they they look like they were really where they should be, as far as I was concerned. Now I'm not a helicopter pilot, I'm not a you know, airplane officiano, but they were they did not look scary, but they looked like I was proud to have them on our side. And then to hear all the stuff that went on, it just it was nice. I couldn I couldn't believe that people were complaining about that.

SPEAKER_07

It just turns out it was a Kentucky Karen. Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I mean, that's the rumor. I don't know for sure. But anybody that that is so unpatriotic, especially on a 250-year maybe it's military and maybe.

SPEAKER_09

You know, but it sounds right it would be a politician because they're just always looking to, you know, condemn the other. You know, like they're always trying to police something.

SPEAKER_07

And they're looking for a political angle that they can exploit to make their stock rise.

SPEAKER_06

It was just sad to see that even no well, you're look at all the world war look at the wars we've had. There's only been one third of the people. Revolutionary war from England, there's only been basically one third of the people ever agreed to what we were doing was right. Everything.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

And so you got one third that don't care, and one third that doesn't like it. Yeah. And that's what we're going through now again. Back in in um when we revolution our revolution, it was the Patriots, the loyalists, and the and what I call they don't care. That's what we had and and this is the same thing again what we're going through in the country. You got the Patriots, you got the communists, and you got the whatevers. Right. So it's still basically the same thing as what we started with. You've still got people that care, people that want to stop it and hurt us, the communists, the loyalists for the king. So nothing's really changed. It's pretty much, if you look at it, it pretty much stays the same.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. I wanted to uh Nick, could you play that um thing that you had from Laura Ingram? Because I was speaking earlier, and I don't know if you heard me earlier, Magadon, talking about how upsetting it is to watch President Trump doing all these things, and there's so many people want him dead, wish him dead, try to kill him. And he had that speech he gave that, you know, hey, yeah, it might be this plane. And if I go, you go. Uh he's talking to the reporters.

SPEAKER_08

If I go, you guys saw that that was such a New York thing to say.

SPEAKER_09

Um, and then the other thing, he was like, They're lunatics, they're cuckoo. That's another New York thing to say.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

Uh, but it it's uh he was saying they, you know, they uh they have a target on me. And it's just so it seems like he's at peace with me.

SPEAKER_06

Enemy number one.

SPEAKER_09

But he knows that people are watching for him. But this was a lot of what happened.

SPEAKER_13

Unanswered questions lingering tonight around his sudden change of aircraft from the new Qatar-built Air Force One that he flew over on to NATO to the old Air Force one last night. He says it was so he the troops could see the new one. Okay. But the Wall Street Journal is reporting tonight about a new Iranian plot to kill Donald Trump. And that tracks with what the New York Times said and why he switched planes. The Secret Service told Trump not to take the Qatari gifted Air Force One home from Turkey. This plane was rushed into circulation because President Trump wanted to fly on a new Air Force One.

SPEAKER_16

His spokesperson issued a statement today saying that this plane, the new Air Force One, is perfectly great and totally up to the standards. But it's not.

SPEAKER_20

The big unknown here is whether or not this new Qatari gifted jet has the same level of electronic countermeasures that the old Air Force Ones had.

SPEAKER_13

Well, who knows what the truth is? But the White House insists the new Air Force One does have top security features. But again, according to the Times, the older plane has been widely reported to be equipped with a system designed to blind an incoming anti-aircraft missile along with chaff that could be deployed to mislead a missile and then force it off its course. Well, my first reaction to this is it's not great that the Secret Service, it looks like, is leaking sensitive details to the press, maybe to Curry Favor, warning, I don't know what it is. But the president, he's well aware of the risks he faces.

SPEAKER_06

I'm number one on the kill list for Iran.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. What do you think about all that?

SPEAKER_06

Well, it's just like anything else. I only believe a very small uh part of what I read. I don't believe anybody's telling us the truth. I mean, that's that's it's only taking me ten years to come to this.

SPEAKER_09

I we were talking about the same thing. Yep.

SPEAKER_06

Now before anything before Trump came down the escalator, I never voted like you know. Never voted for president in my life. Because I thought they both were corrupt. By the time they got to be president, you owe too many people, too many favors to be who you really was elected to be.

SPEAKER_08

Right.

SPEAKER_06

And and in ten years, I've proven every damn thing I thought proven right.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

In ten years, I've gone from believing we can make a difference. It really bothers me to see because you can't trust anybody. And the the thing is, Liz, there is absolutely no recourse. There's there's nothing being done about these people lying to us. We just accept it. Even in Congress or the Senate, you think that they would say, Well, the American people don't believe the news media. Yeah. We need to fix something. We need to clean it up.

SPEAKER_09

But even this whole thing with Mitch McConnell, why can't we?

SPEAKER_06

Is he dead or alive?

SPEAKER_03

Well, why can't we know?

SPEAKER_09

Like we why can't we know that he's a big political at emer Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I mean, we you you tell me a story, I'll I'll say you're lying. I'll tell you a story, you say I'm lying. Right. Well, I heard it here, I saw it here. Right. That means nothing.

SPEAKER_09

And then God forbid it gets into print and then it then it takes on the home. Pelosi said, Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

We do do this and then we can say it over and over again, it becomes true.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, right. And then you say, Oh, I saw it in the World's Wall Street Journal.

SPEAKER_06

I mean, I you just can't believe it. I'm so dis I I mean, I wanna I love my country. I'll do anything I can, of course, to support it. But it's so I think we're going so far in the wrong direction. Yes. You look at Maine, the senator there, you look at Texas. What is that? I mean, can anybody explain to me how the hell they get that far up?

SPEAKER_09

I mean, you have Ming Dami. You have one random blonde sitting on the lap on the back of a boat, and that guy is destroyed. But this guy?

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

I mean, look at how far we how far the Overton window has moved, right? Monkey business to like whatever that was with Graham Platner.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, according to Newsmax reporter Jackie Capell, uh, new on McConnell's health. He's alive, he's not brain dead, he's in rehab and in the hospital with his condition, he needs time to physically recover, but mentally he's fine. Doctors want to make sure he's okay. Laura Loomer responded right afterwards saying, sure, Jan. But according to Newsmax official reporter, he's fine.

SPEAKER_09

Well, that's the reporter didn't see it. He's just reporting what someone else said. She. Who said that. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

I know. It just it's a good idea. Listen, I just got off the phone, a 20-minute conversation with this.

SPEAKER_09

I just spoke to Mitch McConnell. Why not? Everybody has except anybody of value. Well, Scott Jennings claims that his is real. Okay. He loves that guy. Why?

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, why?

SPEAKER_09

Why? Why? Where is Nancy Caroline? Why? Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, he got the clock last week. He met up with you and he wanted to say thank you and say hi.

SPEAKER_06

No, thank you. It was fun talking. I have more fun meeting these people and finding out a little bit about their background. You know, normally I just give a hat away when I see you somewhere, but yeah, on the Trump trivia here, I meet the people and we talk for 10 or 15 minutes usually and get a picture.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

And the background on some of these people that listen is really neat. You know, I was uh really neat.

SPEAKER_09

I was talking to a um homeowner's insurance broker yesterday, and they were saying, Um, hey, so what do you do? You know, what do you do for a living? And he's like, Oh, wow, that's really cool. And he's like, That's my favorite part of the job. People have such interesting jobs. Um, and I'm like, Well, it's not that interesting. I gotta talk to this guy all day, and then this other one comes together.

SPEAKER_07

Actually, you don't have to talk to me. That's your choice.

SPEAKER_09

How did you know I was talking about you?

SPEAKER_07

Because you pointed and you you sauntered your eyes in my direction.

SPEAKER_08

My eyes are sauntered.

SPEAKER_07

You were told when you started this whole thing, don't talk to him. He's just gonna play the weather and the news. Don't talk to him.

SPEAKER_08

Look how that worked out.

SPEAKER_07

You said no, I have to talk to him. So you only have yourself to blame, sweetie. Ooh, sweetie. He's an angry little man. He's an angry from the waist up. Uh hey, this was the Pelicans game Wednesday night. Dan gave this to me when I was Dan, she said Dan, gave this to me when I was working at Top Golf a few years ago because I walked in with the same hat. I said, I love your hat. My hat number's 1036. Cool. Yeah. I also ran into a BJ's gas station a few months back, although it did not have the hat on.

SPEAKER_06

It's you know, it's kind of funny how things progress in life. We've been doing this for seven years. Of course, I've given out f you know six thousand hats all over the country. Right. But a lot of those people f were from out of the area. Mm hmm. But most of the people, in fact, all the people for the last seven years that have gotten a hat from me on the radio are All local people. And so I see this all the time. In fact, if I'm not in my shirt, I get hell.

SPEAKER_09

I mean, it's like I don't even recognize you without your hat. I was like, oh, look at that guy. Who's that?

SPEAKER_07

That's I seen him once in a bathrobe and I thought it was like a homeless guy chasing me.

SPEAKER_06

Well, that's Carborough got married and I went to his wedding. Jacob Carbo. You know, he's a younger Republicans. Jacob Jacob.

SPEAKER_09

Oh, Jacob.

SPEAKER_06

And so I didn't wear the hat because of just there was people there that might have been of another persuasion.

SPEAKER_08

Uh-huh. And so it was just best for everybody.

SPEAKER_06

So I didn't wear my hat. That was nice of you. Tim McGuinness is one of many. And I can't tell you the rest of them now, not a single person recognized me. You asked Tim. Tim went by me and he'd come back over and said, Don? I didn't even know you were here. I must have walked back by you 20 times. It is amazing when I take the hat off. What would it be?

SPEAKER_09

You're like Waldo. If he had took his scarf off, nobody would nobody would find him.

SPEAKER_07

So if I Nobody would even know. It's just as dumb as that can't be Superman. He's wearing glasses.

SPEAKER_06

I mean, come on. I'm telling you. It was and and then um uh Jerry Rovner was there. He didn't recognize me. He had to combat nobody, and these people that know me pretty well.

So repeat your question and give your answer. Okay. Get back to it here.

SPEAKER_09

MAGADON on it. What was the name of the education?

SPEAKER_06

It was like literally less than five minutes ago. You already forgot it. That was fast. Well, I wanted to make sure I said it correctly because if I say it wrong, I get trouble. What was the name of the educational company that Donald Trump founded in 2005? Five years later it actually closed. But that was not part of the question. The answer is Trump University. There you go. And he was sued, and it was a mess and a mess and a mess. So he had it open for five years, but he founded it in 2005. All right. So the story I'm going to say while we're talking about it. Yeah, tell us the story is as I'm going through all my boxes and stuff for the books and writing this book, which is now nine months and I'm not close. So I everybody told me, well, you know, if you're doing it or do a good job, be a public.

SPEAKER_09

Do you work on it every day?

SPEAKER_06

No, not every day. Okay. I get so damn discouraged that you know, I just no. I want to rip everything up and burn it.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, I gotcha.

SPEAKER_06

And then a couple two, three days later, I go back and then I'll spend three or four days out there. Ninety percent of what I have to do is research. I got a picture of me doing something. Okay. That's kind of neat, but then I have to go and figure out w when it actually happened. Okay. Because I don't have dates written on the back of any of the pictures. So then I gotta go chat, GPT, whatever I gotta do, and I gotta look. So okay, I know when the air show was in Brunswick, Maine. I was there when we commandeered a personal jet from a guy. Yeah, I mean there's all kinds of stuff. Yeah. So anyway. So one of the things we did is uh uh in Bowen, Hampshire's a small town, it's a mostly volunteer fire department. It was 5,500 people in our town. And uh that's where the Griss Mill restaurant was, and also my truck stop. So I got to know pretty much everybody pretty well. Well, we had a fire chief, Dana Abbott, a great guy, always come into either either the one of the restaurants, and then our police chief, Peter Cheney, was a great chief, and I got to know them pretty well. And so I came up with a brilliant idea of trying to help them make some money. I had done like 20 or 25 charity events through through the restaurants, and I loved doing it. So I made a personal bet, handshake, with the police chief and the fire chief. If I raised five thousand we did a mini golf thing from the restaurant across the street through the Hampton Inn and back over. And I said, if I raise five thousand dollars, which we split 50-50, fire and police in full uniform, you've got to hold hands and jump into the pool at the Hampton Inn.

SPEAKER_09

Okay.

SPEAKER_06

In full uniform. All right. So I we raised more than that. Wow. And I'm the only one that knew the fire chief and the police chief and myself were the only ones that knew we had this bet. And the whole 16 was in the pool. And then it was 17 across the street, 18 went back into the into the pub. And so in the pool, I knew it was gonna happen. I knew we had already reached it with the donors and the sponsors, every whole. So I said to okay, we've we've got quite a bit more than 5,000. So I posted it a couple days ago, the whole story. We raised so they got full uniform. I kept every we had like 40, 40 players. Oh, wow. And we were all in the pool. And I said, okay, so they announced the fact that they had made whatever the money was, and they held hands, the police chief and the fire chief held hands and jumped into the deep end of the pool in full uniform.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, pictures of that? Oh, yeah, I got it. Okay.

SPEAKER_06

Full uniform. So the whole thing was, and then, of course, I kind of I gotta add this in because this is even funnier. I'm always El Natural, and I was wearing white pants.

SPEAKER_08

Oh God.

SPEAKER_06

Now, our lieutenant, I called him Sarge. Oh no. He was I call everybody Sarge. He was our lieutenant. He was probably 6'2, 6'3, uh-huh. Weighed 220, 240, something like he came up behind me. I was laughing so hard at the fire chief and the police chief in full uniform. You didn't notice you were he came up behind me and threw me in. Oh now I'm trying to walk out in front of all these people, and the people are screaming, Don, get back in the water. They had to bring me a towel. But anyway, so I thought I put that out on as part of the book that how do you get a fire chief and a police chief to hold hands in full uniform and jump in a pool? You know, anyway. So about two hours after I posted it, yeah, the police chief, Peter Cheney, I have it on my Don, those were the days.

SPEAKER_08

Oh, wow. And this is 30 years on Facebook. Oh. He's been following you. He didn't know. So 33 years ago.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. And he he texted, those are the great days, Don. Thank you for everything you did.

SPEAKER_09

Wow.

SPEAKER_06

33 years ago, he he chimed in on my post. I mean, it's like crazy.

SPEAKER_09

Seems like a like a lifetime ago, right?

SPEAKER_06

I can't.

SPEAKER_09

I mean how old are you gonna be this August?

SPEAKER_06

79.

SPEAKER_09

79.

SPEAKER_06

I'm still getting royalties for dirt. So I'm okay. But you know, it's it's so it's so hard. And I've told everybody, I get I can't tell you how many people ask me how do I have the nerve to have my life as an open book? That's just me. Not everybody can do it. Patty's not a hundred percent happy with me. But it's something I felt like I had to do.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

But as I get more and more people. Patty's not a hundred percent. There's there's things that'll come out in the book that's gonna be interesting that no one knows about me. Oh, yeah. Some serious good stuff. Well, both ways. Anyway. But one of the things is I get so many texts.

SPEAKER_09

You expose you go both ways? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Hey, submarines, you know, you're out there a long time. I love you better tomorrow.

SPEAKER_07

I mean, when you got just uh an underwater boat filled with semen, what do you expect? I know some of it leaks out every now and then.

SPEAKER_09

Oh, I didn't even think Nick was listening. Look at that.

SPEAKER_06

I can't tell you, Liz, how many people have texted me saying, you know, I wish I had the nerve to do it and stuff like that. I said, My best advice for anybody anybody's listening that you have relatives and family that don't know you, or or just people that you really want to have know you a little bit more about what you've done, good things, whatever. Just think of it as a bunch of short stories. So you you have a story, yeah, like the one I just put together about make your book all the short stories of your life. Then it's like you can write one short story, put it away. Another short story and put it so your whole life and it can you can mix and match it, but it doesn't matter if it's chronological or not. You just and so I got I got f I think I think three or four people that have texted me that are gonna start doing it. Because I think there's so many like you, you've got a story like you. Look at what you've so many people from what you've done? Was it A Avon? Was it Avon?

SPEAKER_09

Oh, that too, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I mean, some some of the things you've done and Nick with his band, I mean, if you were to just to put together a bunch of stories and just keep it put file it away and you're safe.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, even if it's just for your like.

SPEAKER_06

But there's so many stories and I think that would bring us together. I think listening to the different stories would bring us all closer together. Yeah. But yeah. That's what I've learned from my book writing so far.

SPEAKER_09

All right. Well, you know, it's kind of like a a cathartic process as well, because you're finding things that maybe were in there, but now you're able to lay out. So it's like you're giving it up to the universe and you're putting it down on paper and you're spending time with it.

SPEAKER_06

And DJ was I was 32 when I had my son. I'd already owned four different businesses. Wow. Been in and out of the Navy, divorced, yeah, before and and before my son was even born. And so he he doesn't know a thing about who his father was. Good or bad, but I mean I mean, there's some things that I want him to know about just because, yeah, but there's a lot of things I want him to know about that I that I accomplished. Like doing that convoy for the little boy that died of leukemia and having uh Vice President Bush be there to kick off 13 miles of a convoy we had. Wow. The largest non-military convoy.

SPEAKER_09

And we and We always talked about doing a convoy, remember Nick? Uh-huh. Yeah. I mean, we had a rolling rally, but it wasn't 33 miles long.

SPEAKER_07

It was a rolling uh rally for a food rally for Obama.

SPEAKER_06

But that's you know, if you know, you know. You know, you know. Like being in the Navy. My my son knew I was in the Navy, but not some of the stuff that happened. Yeah. So I mean, if you if if you got the time, a little bit of time, but you ought to think about doing a short story and put it away and maybe another one the next day or a week or two. But we all have shorts, we all have a bunch of interesting stories. Yeah, chapters. A lot of people would really I mean I'd love to hear short stories at what things you've done.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I mean, you've had New York, your father, and and and and doing all the gigs and just meeting people.

SPEAKER_09

Well, I mean, just being in the media, you just there's so many, uh so many incidents. One thing somebody don't care to repeat.

SPEAKER_07

But Liz, one thing you know as well as I do in the media, and that goes for anybody in the media, you have to have thick skin. And those that don't, don't last very long. Because you're constantly in some sort of spotlight.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

And constantly, no matter what you do, no matter how awesome it is, there are people that will hate you.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

That not like anything you do, can't stand the side of you, can't stand anything about you, and they will jump, pounce on any chance they can to berate you.

SPEAKER_06

You know what that's called?

SPEAKER_07

And that's where where you develop thick skin. You have to.

SPEAKER_06

You know what that's called, Nick? Jealousy. I mean, I don't know if that's all. Oh, it is. When when I when I when I first got into the restaurant business, bring you down. No, when I first got into the restaurant business in 1984 in Bow, Concord, New Hampshire, there was a lot of families that had Greeks, restaurants. I mean, there was a lot of families that had restaurants for a long, long time.

SPEAKER_09

Because they all chip in and they all help each other.

SPEAKER_06

I come in and start the truck stop in eighty-four, then I do the grist the old mill in eighty-six, then I do the grist mill in eighty-nine. So in less than five years, I had two hundred and something employees in three different restaurants.

SPEAKER_08

That's a big business.

SPEAKER_06

The minute I got that success, the jealousy started. They'd call the labor department on me, they'd call but just anything they could do. The health department, the health department's just like.

SPEAKER_09

And they just want to destroy you.

SPEAKER_06

I mean, it's just jealousy. They can't do what you're doing. And then I had one one labor guy, one food guy come in about 6 30 on a Friday night. Now we do 1,200 covers, 1,200 dinners on a Friday night. Wow. Six o'clock, we're you know what, we're to the wall.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

He comes in and basically shuts you down when you gotta do a a uh Oh, an inspection? A food, yeah, inspection.

SPEAKER_07

Wait, the timing of that inspection is interesting.

SPEAKER_06

Well, yeah, well, who knows? Probably friends with somebody that uh had a restaurant that uh I kind of cut in on their territory.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, there's money involved too. Well, maybe so sick of these bureaucrats taking these little cuts of whatever.

SPEAKER_06

I learned and and I was what in eight in 84.

SPEAKER_09

Our fire marshal used to eat at our bagel store, so that was always nice because you know, you uh well, I don't think he was the one that inspected ours, but it's always nice to know when they show up or the health department eats in your restaurant, you know you're in good.

SPEAKER_06

Well, in New Hampshire, we had what they called the liquor commission. Down here at ABC. Yeah, all four of the liquor commissioners were personal friends of mine that came into the restaurant. I met it, but now the liquor inspector.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I can't almost had his name. I can't remember. He he used to used to come in. He was just a buster. And he knew he knew he better have it right because his bosses would get all over because liquor authority is like I tried to run a tight ship.

SPEAKER_07

Why can't I have that job? Yeah, I don't think you made that right. Let me try again.

SPEAKER_09

I'm an authority in this uh field.

SPEAKER_07
