1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,167
I tried the infrared.

2
00:00:01,167 --> 00:00:02,235
I tried the cold plunge.

3
00:00:02,235 --> 00:00:04,304
Now I need to try cryo. Yes.

4
00:00:04,304 --> 00:00:05,238
Where's the cryo?

5
00:00:05,238 --> 00:00:08,241
Across the street at restore.

6
00:00:08,408 --> 00:00:10,944
All right, we're talking cryo.

7
00:00:10,944 --> 00:00:11,878
Maybe we'll keep it running.

8
00:00:11,878 --> 00:00:13,546
What do you say, Stephania?

9
00:00:13,546 --> 00:00:14,948
Yeah. All right, all right.

10
00:00:14,948 --> 00:00:18,585
This is episode 144
I'm with my good friend Christina.

11
00:00:18,585 --> 00:00:21,554
How are you doing? Good. How are you.
We were just chatting it up.

12
00:00:21,554 --> 00:00:24,391
So many suggestions.
I saw an ad today. Yes.

13
00:00:24,391 --> 00:00:25,425
You had a suggestion.

14
00:00:25,425 --> 00:00:27,027
Therapy? Cryotherapy?

15
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:29,596
Yes. Whole body cryotherapy. Feels great.

16
00:00:29,596 --> 00:00:31,898
Makes. Gives you so much energy.

17
00:00:31,898 --> 00:00:34,334
Decreases pain. I love it quick. And now.

18
00:00:34,334 --> 00:00:35,201
Yeah.

19
00:00:35,201 --> 00:00:38,271
So I've been doing I go to What is it.

20
00:00:38,271 --> 00:00:41,007
Float 41 exhale in Cromwell. Nice.

21
00:00:41,007 --> 00:00:44,444
They do a cold plunge
sauna, coal plunge sauna.

22
00:00:44,444 --> 00:00:46,513
Contrast therapy.
I would love. To try that.

23
00:00:46,513 --> 00:00:48,882
But I leave there
like I want to run a marathon.

24
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:50,683
Yeah. It's amazing. Oh that's great.

25
00:00:50,683 --> 00:00:53,653
The cold plunge
makes my joints on my knees feel great.

26
00:00:53,686 --> 00:00:55,121
And again, feeling great.

27
00:00:55,121 --> 00:00:57,957
So I'm really looking forward
to this cryo. Yeah, definitely.

28
00:00:57,957 --> 00:01:00,226
Maybe they are
they cool with the community. Cryo.

29
00:01:00,226 --> 00:01:02,328
You talked with them.
What's the name of it?

30
00:01:02,328 --> 00:01:04,197
Restore hyper wellness.

31
00:01:04,197 --> 00:01:04,497
Yeah.

32
00:01:04,497 --> 00:01:08,535
Maybe we could do, a fundraiser
or sponsor the golf tournament.

33
00:01:08,535 --> 00:01:09,135
Oh, definitely.

34
00:01:09,135 --> 00:01:09,335
Yeah.

35
00:01:09,335 --> 00:01:12,405
It's all about working with new people
in the community.

36
00:01:13,006 --> 00:01:14,741
West Hartford has been so great.

37
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:17,177
And buying into our mission
and goals of friends of Fini.

38
00:01:17,177 --> 00:01:20,380
So, cryotherapy.

39
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:21,514
What is it again?

40
00:01:21,514 --> 00:01:23,216
Whole body cryotherapy at restore.

41
00:01:23,216 --> 00:01:24,584
Restore? Yes. All right.

42
00:01:25,785 --> 00:01:28,788
We usually get to the recommendations spa
at the end.

43
00:01:28,855 --> 00:01:30,690
We got right into it, people. We did.

44
00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:33,960
This is Feeney Talks with friends
episode 144.

45
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:36,162
Like I was saying,
my name is Eric Feeney, founder

46
00:01:36,162 --> 00:01:37,464
and president of Friends of Feeney.

47
00:01:37,464 --> 00:01:38,231
Our mission is to help

48
00:01:38,231 --> 00:01:41,234
children and families that need assistance
after heartbreak or tragedy.

49
00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:42,735
And I use this podcast.

50
00:01:42,735 --> 00:01:45,004
Feeney talks with friends,
and I talked to one of the people

51
00:01:45,004 --> 00:01:47,407
in the community
that are doing great things.

52
00:01:47,407 --> 00:01:49,876
And Christina, you're doing great things.

53
00:01:49,876 --> 00:01:52,112
I love your initiative.

54
00:01:52,112 --> 00:01:53,446
I love what you're doing.

55
00:01:53,446 --> 00:01:56,116
We're here to talk about Sweet
Bear Coffee.

56
00:01:56,116 --> 00:01:58,885
I love the logo. Please talk.

57
00:01:58,885 --> 00:01:59,953
What you've been up to.

58
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:03,823
So, sweet Bear Coffee Company is organic
Fairtrade coffee company.

59
00:02:04,357 --> 00:02:06,826
And it was inspired by my son.

60
00:02:06,826 --> 00:02:09,729
So backstory is that in 2020, he was born

61
00:02:09,729 --> 00:02:13,066
right in the middle of the pandemic,
which was a whole ordeal in and of itself.

62
00:02:13,399 --> 00:02:15,268
But as he started to grow

63
00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:18,271
and get older and develop,
I noticed something wasn't quite right.

64
00:02:18,471 --> 00:02:20,773
So we had him
evaluated and was determined.

65
00:02:20,773 --> 00:02:23,209
He has a very rare genetic disorder.

66
00:02:23,209 --> 00:02:26,212
Less than 100 people in the entire world
have this disorder.

67
00:02:26,546 --> 00:02:30,483
So this brought on a lot of testing
and procedures and surgeries.

68
00:02:30,483 --> 00:02:34,454
And in one of these extremely long
appointments, over four hours long,

69
00:02:34,454 --> 00:02:37,423
I was drinking coffee
and looking at my sweet bear.

70
00:02:37,524 --> 00:02:38,591
That's his nickname.

71
00:02:38,591 --> 00:02:40,393
And I said,
I can bring these two things together.

72
00:02:40,393 --> 00:02:41,127
I can sell

73
00:02:41,127 --> 00:02:45,198
great tasting, Fairtrade, organic coffee
and support the disability community.

74
00:02:45,198 --> 00:02:46,933
And that's how Sweet Bear was born.

75
00:02:46,933 --> 00:02:47,433
I love it.

76
00:02:47,433 --> 00:02:47,600
Yeah.

77
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,271
No, I printed out I was going to print out
the the logo, but I have it on my phone.

78
00:02:51,704 --> 00:02:52,872
Let's go to the photos.

79
00:02:52,872 --> 00:02:54,607
I'm going to put it right here.

80
00:02:54,607 --> 00:02:55,975
Let's go on on the photo app.

81
00:02:55,975 --> 00:02:58,545
This course is not working anyway.

82
00:02:59,979 --> 00:03:01,614
Sweet bear boom.

83
00:03:01,614 --> 00:03:05,518
I love it as the, 
Are you the mama bear? Yes.

84
00:03:05,518 --> 00:03:08,521
And I worked with an amazing graphic
designer locally,

85
00:03:08,655 --> 00:03:10,456
and we designed it together.

86
00:03:10,456 --> 00:03:11,391
His name is Matt Wallace.

87
00:03:11,391 --> 00:03:12,158
He's wonderful.

88
00:03:12,158 --> 00:03:14,594
Oh, Matt Wallace,
yes, there's mama bear. Yes.

89
00:03:14,594 --> 00:03:15,528
Sweet bear, I love it.

90
00:03:15,528 --> 00:03:17,897
And it says certified Fairtrade organic.

91
00:03:17,897 --> 00:03:19,899
Yes. Now,
that was important to you, right.

92
00:03:19,899 --> 00:03:23,036
Super important
to have it be organic and Fairtrade. Yes.

93
00:03:23,269 --> 00:03:25,538
Can you tell our listeners?
Oh, well, you know, I teach third grade.

94
00:03:25,538 --> 00:03:28,875
Yes. Can you explain what Fairtrade means
to a third grader?

95
00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:29,275
Sure.

96
00:03:29,275 --> 00:03:33,079
So organic, obviously not using chemicals
and pesticides and the growing process

97
00:03:33,079 --> 00:03:35,715
and Fairtrade,
meaning that we're treating the farmers

98
00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:39,219
and the harvesters well and that
they're getting paid well for their time

99
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:42,288
and their money and not,
you know, treating them unfairly.

100
00:03:42,488 --> 00:03:44,224
Yeah.
And there has to be a group of farmers.

101
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:45,592
Yes. Right.

102
00:03:45,592 --> 00:03:46,960
I thought it was very interesting.

103
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,361
I actually looked it up.

104
00:03:48,361 --> 00:03:48,928
So I did see

105
00:03:48,928 --> 00:03:53,099
I didn't look into it because I was like,
oh, I, you mentioned it on the news. Yes.

106
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:55,168
And it's important to you
that it was Fairtrade.

107
00:03:55,168 --> 00:03:56,469
So I had to learn about it.

108
00:03:56,469 --> 00:04:00,440
And and I think that's a great thing
to make sure that everyone's treated

109
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,241
fairly. Yes.

110
00:04:02,208 --> 00:04:02,709
Because are

111
00:04:02,709 --> 00:04:05,712
you saying that there are people
that are not treated correct.

112
00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:10,149
There are like, worst case scenario,
what what is a farm?

113
00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:12,218
What is someone
that's not being fair trade.

114
00:04:12,218 --> 00:04:13,987
What does that farm look like?
Or what are those farm?

115
00:04:13,987 --> 00:04:15,855
How are the people being treated?

116
00:04:15,855 --> 00:04:20,260
Overwork, underpaid, and especially
for their services and their time.

117
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:24,130
And they're not also treating
the agricultural system properly either,

118
00:04:24,163 --> 00:04:25,565
as far as the organic standpoint.

119
00:04:25,565 --> 00:04:27,233
So that's why those things were important.

120
00:04:27,233 --> 00:04:29,836
Yeah. Fair trade I love it.

121
00:04:29,836 --> 00:04:31,871
Look at that.

122
00:04:31,871 --> 00:04:32,405
Fair trade.

123
00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:36,476
So and I noticed that you chemical's
organic.

124
00:04:36,476 --> 00:04:38,011
Yes. Your decaf.

125
00:04:38,011 --> 00:04:39,712
Yes. The decaf. That's another thing.

126
00:04:39,712 --> 00:04:43,216
So most people that produce coffee,
they use a chemical process

127
00:04:43,216 --> 00:04:44,450
to decaffeinated it.

128
00:04:44,450 --> 00:04:45,451
And I didn't want to do that.

129
00:04:45,451 --> 00:04:48,855
So this is a special certification
that we received for our decaf.

130
00:04:49,055 --> 00:04:50,623
It's water processed decaffeinated.

131
00:04:50,623 --> 00:04:52,759
And so no chemicals are used.

132
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:54,060
And if you try it, which I know you're

133
00:04:54,060 --> 00:04:55,795
a caffeine lover like me,
you would not know.

134
00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:59,165
Is decaf really most decaf coffee or like,
I rather not.

135
00:04:59,265 --> 00:05:01,401
Yeah. You would not know it was decaf.
It's really.

136
00:05:01,401 --> 00:05:03,536
No, I joke,
I like decaf. What's the point?

137
00:05:05,338 --> 00:05:07,006
But lots of people buy the decaf.

138
00:05:07,006 --> 00:05:09,575
They love it.
But because it tastes great. Okay, cool.

139
00:05:09,575 --> 00:05:12,679
Now, you had a wonderful interview
I watched with Scott Haney, and.

140
00:05:12,745 --> 00:05:14,080
Yes, I was so kind.

141
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,548
Kerry's care is a good friend.

142
00:05:15,548 --> 00:05:20,586
Dennis House has been a guest, on episode
25 and 50.

143
00:05:20,586 --> 00:05:23,056
That's a he's a great guy. Scott.

144
00:05:23,056 --> 00:05:23,756
And he's hilarious.

145
00:05:23,756 --> 00:05:25,191
So funny. Good guy.

146
00:05:25,191 --> 00:05:27,493
So it's important.

147
00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:28,995
And she.

148
00:05:28,995 --> 00:05:31,097
Kara mentioned she likes to decaf. Yes.

149
00:05:31,097 --> 00:05:34,100
And she also was very happy
that there were no chemicals, so.

150
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:37,470
Oh, that's true pleasing
to a lot of people that it's organic.

151
00:05:38,137 --> 00:05:40,373
I didn't notice that, too. Fruit.

152
00:05:40,373 --> 00:05:42,608
Organic fruit
obviously tastes a little better.

153
00:05:42,608 --> 00:05:43,576
It's like a little more plump.

154
00:05:43,576 --> 00:05:46,379
You see her? Yeah. So you would say coffee
beans are better?

155
00:05:46,379 --> 00:05:48,915
I think so I think you can.
You can tell the difference. Nice.

156
00:05:48,915 --> 00:05:50,016
Personally nice.

157
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:52,719
I drink a lot of coffee to, to decipher.

158
00:05:52,719 --> 00:05:56,723
I know I and I, we were on, I go to door
almost every day.

159
00:05:56,723 --> 00:06:01,494
I'm off in the summer
and I've been on an espresso kick. Yes.

160
00:06:01,494 --> 00:06:03,596
Espressos are great. Great.

161
00:06:03,596 --> 00:06:05,064
Do you have espresso?

162
00:06:05,064 --> 00:06:06,866
Yes, we have espresso.

163
00:06:06,866 --> 00:06:09,836
Light, medium dark decaf.

164
00:06:09,836 --> 00:06:11,637
So we have five altogether.

165
00:06:11,637 --> 00:06:13,639
Light, medium dark, decaf and espresso.

166
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:16,676
Medium dark decaf. Espresso.

167
00:06:16,676 --> 00:06:19,145
Yeah. And then,

168
00:06:20,847 --> 00:06:23,015
Oh. So what are the no surprises.

169
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:24,150
Dark roast?

170
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:24,784
Can you explain?

171
00:06:24,784 --> 00:06:25,251
Because I'm not.

172
00:06:25,251 --> 00:06:28,054
I'm a just new to the coffee game. Sure.

173
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:30,990
Dark roast is 1350. Decaf is more.

174
00:06:30,990 --> 00:06:32,091
It's 15 bucks.

175
00:06:32,091 --> 00:06:34,727
It's because of the the decaf.

176
00:06:34,727 --> 00:06:37,697
Well, first off, well, since the fall,

177
00:06:37,697 --> 00:06:42,101
my costs have gone up 40%
because of the rising cost of coffee.

178
00:06:42,201 --> 00:06:45,405
And then with this recent tariff,
it just went up another 10%.

179
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:48,741
But I have not passed on the price
increase to the consumer.

180
00:06:49,008 --> 00:06:53,613
So it's been difficult to sort
of maneuver, but for 40% since the fall.

181
00:06:53,613 --> 00:06:54,881
So it's been 30%.

182
00:06:54,881 --> 00:06:56,482
Yes. And and then there's going to be.

183
00:06:56,482 --> 00:06:58,785
Great math says that's almost half. Yes.

184
00:06:58,785 --> 00:07:00,953
And there's might be more tariffs
coming up in August.

185
00:07:00,953 --> 00:07:03,055
So it might go up again in August.

186
00:07:03,055 --> 00:07:04,090
Might go up again.

187
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:05,691
Where do you get your coffee from?

188
00:07:05,691 --> 00:07:07,393
Central and South America okay.

189
00:07:07,393 --> 00:07:10,763
Wow. Central and South America,
did you ever visit the farms.

190
00:07:10,963 --> 00:07:13,232
And get to know? Okay.
But I got to develop the blends.

191
00:07:13,232 --> 00:07:16,035
That was a lot of fun. And you tasted.
Them. Tasted them all. Created.

192
00:07:16,035 --> 00:07:18,671
We created these. Blends.
How many did you taste?

193
00:07:18,671 --> 00:07:21,507
And what would you say
this one needs a little more like.

194
00:07:21,507 --> 00:07:23,476
What were you looking for?
How do you. Are you.

195
00:07:23,476 --> 00:07:25,211
You're that good? Like you're a,

196
00:07:26,379 --> 00:07:27,980
Like wine has the person that.

197
00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:29,982
Like a Somalian. No, I'm not a cook.

198
00:07:29,982 --> 00:07:30,917
I just to my taste.

199
00:07:30,917 --> 00:07:31,517
And then I sort of did

200
00:07:31,517 --> 00:07:34,520
focus groups really with really family
and friends and neighbors.

201
00:07:34,854 --> 00:07:37,123
And I would bring them different things
and see what they liked.

202
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:38,124
And it did they agree with me?

203
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:39,125
Did they not agree with me?

204
00:07:39,125 --> 00:07:41,594
So it was a group effort to.

205
00:07:41,594 --> 00:07:44,230
To defend a friend in the sense
that farm crew that I may know.

206
00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:47,467
Yes I know and do you know.

207
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:50,470
Oh yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. All right.

208
00:07:50,536 --> 00:07:51,170
Good friends.

209
00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:53,906
Yes. Good friend.
John Drone. He's coming on. Grandpa.

210
00:07:53,906 --> 00:07:57,243
He they're they're they're, Nola's. Dad.

211
00:07:57,243 --> 00:07:59,145
Yeah. He's a wonderful man. He's so nice.

212
00:07:59,145 --> 00:08:00,046
Oh, you met him? Yes.

213
00:08:00,046 --> 00:08:02,415
I've known them since I was little.

214
00:08:02,415 --> 00:08:03,249
Oh, really? Yes.

215
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:05,585
Are you from that?

216
00:08:05,585 --> 00:08:07,687
Are you?
Did you grow up in that neighborhood, too?

217
00:08:07,687 --> 00:08:09,989
No. I went to school with her
younger sister,

218
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:12,425
and then Nola and
I have been great friends for years, too.

219
00:08:12,425 --> 00:08:15,361
Okay. Yes. Very cool, I had both.
It was awesome.

220
00:08:15,361 --> 00:08:16,295
You did? Yeah.

221
00:08:16,295 --> 00:08:17,396
I had John in on us.

222
00:08:17,396 --> 00:08:18,464
So they're wonderful people.

223
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,666
Yeah, they really are. Them stews.

224
00:08:20,666 --> 00:08:23,236
Hilarious. Great guy. I love him too. Yes.

225
00:08:23,236 --> 00:08:25,538
He recently went to Guam

226
00:08:25,538 --> 00:08:28,307
with a Friends of Fini shirt
taking pictures at the bus stop.

227
00:08:28,307 --> 00:08:29,342
Great.

228
00:08:29,342 --> 00:08:31,611
My daughters did mock trial.

229
00:08:31,611 --> 00:08:33,246
Oh. They did?

230
00:08:33,246 --> 00:08:35,915
No. Nola stopped in Rome a nice no.

231
00:08:35,915 --> 00:08:38,551
You, like?
You did such a great job on this. Yeah.

232
00:08:38,551 --> 00:08:40,720
Oh they're wonderful. Fam. Really? Yes.

233
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,354
We got sidetracked.

234
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:42,555
But good friends. Yes.

235
00:08:42,555 --> 00:08:44,357
Our motto be a good friend. Yep.

236
00:08:44,357 --> 00:08:47,226
Pick up trash. Good friend. Right.

237
00:08:47,226 --> 00:08:49,495
Hold the door, give compliments.

238
00:08:49,495 --> 00:08:50,663
And be charitable.

239
00:08:50,663 --> 00:08:53,432
And to, you know, to have good friends,
you got to be a good friend.

240
00:08:53,432 --> 00:08:55,868
And those were good friends. Yes.
So I'm glad you shouted them out.

241
00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:58,671
And I'm glad they tasted you.
Yes. Nolan. Stool.

242
00:08:58,671 --> 00:09:00,506
Good. People love those guys.

243
00:09:00,506 --> 00:09:03,976
All right,
so back to, tasting and looking for

244
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:08,147
now, can you say, like, oh,
that's good on the nose.

245
00:09:08,147 --> 00:09:10,816
There's bitter, there's an aftertaste.

246
00:09:10,816 --> 00:09:12,251
Like, are you pretty?

247
00:09:12,251 --> 00:09:14,053
Yeah. I feel pretty confident saying that.

248
00:09:14,053 --> 00:09:16,656
Yes. Nice. Okay. That's so cool.

249
00:09:16,656 --> 00:09:18,090
What's your preference.

250
00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:21,394
So I start the day with espresso for shots

251
00:09:22,128 --> 00:09:24,463
like I get up very early.

252
00:09:24,463 --> 00:09:25,765
So for shots.

253
00:09:25,765 --> 00:09:28,768
I say a 430. I get two. Shots for 30.

254
00:09:28,768 --> 00:09:29,535
Okay.

255
00:09:29,535 --> 00:09:31,437
That makes sense. Now it's making. Yes.

256
00:09:31,437 --> 00:09:34,440
And then probably around 730
I have another two shots

257
00:09:34,874 --> 00:09:38,778
and then drink
probably 16oz over the course of the day.

258
00:09:39,779 --> 00:09:41,914
Wow, I love it I love it.

259
00:09:41,914 --> 00:09:43,349
All right I see. I don't feel so bad.

260
00:09:43,349 --> 00:09:46,085
I wanted to go to three shots
this morning.

261
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:48,087
My wife's like, oh no.

262
00:09:48,087 --> 00:09:50,489
You know,
it's like you're not going to feel good.

263
00:09:50,489 --> 00:09:51,991
I did too, you did too.

264
00:09:51,991 --> 00:09:55,394
Yeah, I know,
I just got a picture with my dog.

265
00:09:55,795 --> 00:09:56,762
Oh, I should have show you.

266
00:09:56,762 --> 00:09:59,165
I got the d'Oro cup.

267
00:09:59,165 --> 00:09:59,865
No espresso.

268
00:09:59,865 --> 00:10:00,199
So good.

269
00:10:00,199 --> 00:10:01,567
I slept at my buddy's house.

270
00:10:01,567 --> 00:10:04,870
I went to Boston, woke up in Natick.

271
00:10:05,171 --> 00:10:06,973
Had two shots or four shots.

272
00:10:06,973 --> 00:10:08,774
Actually, two and two of espresso.

273
00:10:08,774 --> 00:10:10,576
There
you go. Shout out to my buddy John script.

274
00:10:10,576 --> 00:10:10,876
He made it.

275
00:10:10,876 --> 00:10:13,679
He makes a good espresso
and a sandwich. Perfect.

276
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,215
That's a great start to the day.
Yeah, yeah.

277
00:10:16,215 --> 00:10:16,916
So yeah.

278
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:20,820
No, it's awesome that, 
Oh back to Teddy. Yes.

279
00:10:20,853 --> 00:10:22,121
Your sweet bear.

280
00:10:22,121 --> 00:10:25,057
Cute kid. Love him. He's, he's adorable.

281
00:10:25,057 --> 00:10:25,625
Thank you.

282
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:29,095
The rare disease starts with a w
I couldn't.

283
00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:31,864
Oh it's called wise Cruz syndrome.

284
00:10:31,864 --> 00:10:33,666
Say it again Chris syndrome.

285
00:10:33,666 --> 00:10:34,800
Weiss cruise. Scha.

286
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,838
Yes. Named after two of the researchers
who discovered it many years ago

287
00:10:38,838 --> 00:10:41,007
when they're working at the NIH. Yeah.

288
00:10:41,007 --> 00:10:45,778
What are some, 
displays or behaviors or what?

289
00:10:46,345 --> 00:10:47,713
What surgeries did he native.

290
00:10:47,713 --> 00:10:49,215
Do you mind explaining what. Yeah.

291
00:10:49,215 --> 00:10:51,584
That is it's a variable
clinical presentation.

292
00:10:51,584 --> 00:10:55,421
And since there's so few people,
there's not a lot of literature

293
00:10:55,421 --> 00:10:56,756
out there about it.

294
00:10:56,756 --> 00:10:57,890
But it can vary.

295
00:10:57,890 --> 00:10:59,091
Some people are missing

296
00:10:59,091 --> 00:11:02,895
part of their brain to that extreme,
to feeding difficulties,

297
00:11:02,895 --> 00:11:08,000
to swallowing difficulties, 
respiratory issues, developmental issues.

298
00:11:08,067 --> 00:11:09,435
It varies. Yeah.

299
00:11:09,435 --> 00:11:13,005
Because it's so rare and like a spectrum,
you know, a huge spectrum.

300
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:14,106
Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

301
00:11:14,106 --> 00:11:15,841
No express those. Amazing.

302
00:11:15,841 --> 00:11:17,343
I love this, too.

303
00:11:17,343 --> 00:11:18,811
Are you selling these on the website?

304
00:11:18,811 --> 00:11:20,746
Not yet. I'm having them made right now.

305
00:11:20,746 --> 00:11:22,815
I have one made for you,
but I'm having this for me.

306
00:11:22,815 --> 00:11:24,617
Yes, I love it.

307
00:11:24,617 --> 00:11:25,217
Thank you.

308
00:11:25,217 --> 00:11:27,920
I'm having to meet right now,
so I hope to put them on the website soon.

309
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,821
Yeah.

310
00:11:28,821 --> 00:11:31,724
And your website is Sweet Bear coffee.

311
00:11:31,724 --> 00:11:35,061
Kokomo. Yes. Sweet beard coffee. Kokomo.

312
00:11:35,461 --> 00:11:38,397
Cute picture of you
walking with Teddy, holding Teddy.

313
00:11:38,397 --> 00:11:41,000
It has your story,
so I think that's great.

314
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,037
It has the flavors
you can sign up to get it.

315
00:11:46,072 --> 00:11:46,639
Like a regular.

316
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:46,972
Shipping.

317
00:11:46,972 --> 00:11:50,142
Yes. Actually,
no, I do, or on the on autoship.

318
00:11:50,142 --> 00:11:52,144
Not a lot of my regulars do autoship.

319
00:11:52,144 --> 00:11:53,345
That way
they don't have to worry about it.

320
00:11:53,345 --> 00:11:55,448
So they get it once a month
or every two weeks.

321
00:11:55,448 --> 00:11:58,350
Yeah. Two weeks. Nice. Nice.

322
00:11:58,350 --> 00:12:02,021
And then 25% goes to people
with disabilities.

323
00:12:02,054 --> 00:12:03,189
Yes, it goes to charities.

324
00:12:03,189 --> 00:12:04,990
So every year
I'm going to rotate the charities. So

325
00:12:04,990 --> 00:12:09,128
25% of my profits will go to organizations
that help people with disabilities.

326
00:12:09,161 --> 00:12:10,963
Nice. This year we've identified one.

327
00:12:10,963 --> 00:12:12,698
And the next year I'll change. Nice.

328
00:12:12,698 --> 00:12:14,800
Just to keep. Giving you share that.

329
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,768
Yes. Who is. Yep.

330
00:12:15,768 --> 00:12:17,737
It's our crescent moon care
foundation. Nice.

331
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:18,537
They're in canton.

332
00:12:18,537 --> 00:12:22,508
They help, children and adults
who need things like ramps for

333
00:12:22,508 --> 00:12:28,280
wheelchairs, travel to medical procedures,
stair lifts, things of that nature.

334
00:12:28,447 --> 00:12:30,182
That's amazing. Yeah. They do.

335
00:12:30,182 --> 00:12:31,851
Crescent moon care
foundation, crescent moon.

336
00:12:31,851 --> 00:12:33,052
Karen can. Yes.

337
00:12:33,052 --> 00:12:36,122
My last guest, Sandy and Chloe.

338
00:12:36,122 --> 00:12:39,024
Chloe has a job in canton. Yes,
at Beans and Company.

339
00:12:39,024 --> 00:12:40,726
So there's a connection.

340
00:12:40,726 --> 00:12:44,864
I love it, and my wife works
for, Oak Hill.

341
00:12:44,997 --> 00:12:46,298
Oh, that's. She was a special

342
00:12:46,298 --> 00:12:49,301
ed teacher for ten years,
and now she's the senior director.

343
00:12:49,401 --> 00:12:50,836
She's running a show over there.

344
00:12:50,836 --> 00:12:52,204
Oh, I visited her today.

345
00:12:53,506 --> 00:12:54,974

But it was great.
Talked with a lot of other people.

542
00:20:34,266 --> 00:20:36,435
It was a fun, fun little party.

543
00:20:36,435 --> 00:20:39,104
I'm glad I went.
It was cool. Then I'm like, hey,

00:20:47,379 --> 00:20:50,349
I'm glad you.
He goes. You shoot your shot.

00:20:52,284 --> 00:20:56,521
I'll tell you right now he is not putting
that sticker on his guitar.

551
00:20:57,022 --> 00:20:58,257
He goes, they have their guitar.

552
00:20:58,257 --> 00:21:00,225
It's like $1 million guitar.

553
00:21:00,225 --> 00:21:02,527
Whatever.
Very expensive guitars. And here I am.

554
00:21:02,527 --> 00:21:04,529
He goes, maybe we'll put it on the box.

555
00:21:04,529 --> 00:21:06,665
Come on. The key. Something.

556
00:21:06,665 --> 00:21:08,300
Then I'm like, here's maybe a shirt.

557
00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:09,701

You could pick anywhere in the world.

627
00:23:34,212 --> 00:23:35,614
Okay. Doesn't have to be West Hartford.

628
00:23:35,614 --> 00:23:36,948
Okay, let's think.

629
00:23:36,948 --> 00:23:39,584
About pick a few spots
because there's a follow up question.

630
00:23:39,584 --> 00:23:40,419
Okay.

my favorite is arugula.

638
00:23:54,966 --> 00:23:56,034
Not a big guy.

639
00:23:56,034 --> 00:23:59,037
Oh. But I go to Disney.

640
00:23:59,070 --> 00:24:00,672
And they're always back and forth.

641
00:24:00,672 --> 00:24:02,841
Yes. To oh, run over there. Right.

642
00:24:02,841 --> 00:24:05,277
The guy runs over
and they vent to each other.

643
00:24:05,277 --> 00:24:06,778
Just a great place.

644
00:24:06,778 --> 00:24:09,014
And, the food's
great. Small setting. Yes.

645
00:24:09,014 --> 00:24:11,450
I love a great spot.
All right. Interesting.

646
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,718
That's been a popular choice here.

647
00:24:13,718 --> 00:24:17,355
And on a few Feeney Talks With Friends
podcast that's come up a few times.

648
00:24:17,956 --> 00:24:20,459
So you're at a regular,

649
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:23,462
and you can eat with for dinner guests.

650
00:24:23,562 --> 00:24:23,962
Okay.

651
00:24:23,962 --> 00:24:25,897
Dead or alive, anywhere in the world.

00:24:25,897 --> 00:24:28,934
Any time.
Who you eating with at a regular?

653
00:24:31,069 --> 00:24:33,205
That's a great, great question.

654
00:24:33,205 --> 00:24:35,807
Let's think

655
00:24:35,807 --> 00:24:38,310
I would say

656
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:42,814
maybe my grandparents and my husband,
because my husband never got to meet.

657
00:24:42,814 --> 00:24:44,749
So my grandparents, just as a sentimental.

658
00:24:44,749 --> 00:24:47,085
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
they're wonderful people.

659
00:24:47,085 --> 00:24:49,554
And he only got to meet one of them, so.
I love it.

660
00:24:49,554 --> 00:24:51,656
Yep. Family comes up a lot too. Yes.

661
00:24:51,656 --> 00:24:55,393
Especially grandparents like to meet
their child or their loved one.

662
00:24:55,393 --> 00:24:57,762
Yeah. So yeah. Back to Robert.

663
00:24:57,762 --> 00:24:59,564
So how's Robert doing? He's good.

664
00:24:59,564 --> 00:25:00,999
He's great guy.

665
00:25:00,999 --> 00:25:03,702
Very supportive as well
with the seven brands.

666
00:25:03,702 --> 00:25:06,104
They sponsored before Sweet Bear.

667
00:25:06,104 --> 00:25:09,074
Yes, they did,
but in my defense, I wasn't around.

668
00:25:09,741 --> 00:25:11,510
True, true.

669
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:14,212
They've been
they've been there since day one. Yes.

670
00:25:14,212 --> 00:25:17,148
I'm kidding, but no, very generous
and thoughtful as well.

671
00:25:17,148 --> 00:25:19,384
Seven brands, thank you so much.

672
00:25:19,384 --> 00:25:21,286
And the seven brands umbrella.

673
00:25:21,286 --> 00:25:23,655
What falls under the seven brands
umbrella?

674
00:25:23,655 --> 00:25:24,289
Wings over.

675
00:25:24,289 --> 00:25:27,425
So he's a franchisee of Wings
over and Moe's.

676
00:25:27,425 --> 00:25:27,826
Okay.

677
00:25:27,826 --> 00:25:32,931
And then also Fuel America,
which is a coffee shop in Massachusetts.

678
00:25:32,931 --> 00:25:34,633
Oh, nice. Wearing masks.

679
00:25:34,633 --> 00:25:36,401
He's got a couple of different locations
in mask.

680
00:25:36,401 --> 00:25:37,936
Cool. Worcester would be the closest one.

681
00:25:37,936 --> 00:25:39,538
Probably. Nice.

682
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:43,074
On my way to my buddy's last weekend,
I picked up another buddy in Worcester.

683
00:25:43,074 --> 00:25:47,479
His son was playing, baseball.

684
00:25:48,713 --> 00:25:49,814
We're going to Natick.

685
00:25:49,814 --> 00:25:53,618
And then we went to TD Bank,
went to the Wu-Tang clan concert.

686
00:25:53,952 --> 00:25:54,753
Great.

687
00:25:54,753 --> 00:25:56,054
And that's why I slept Natick.

688
00:25:56,054 --> 00:25:57,756
It had the espressos in the morning.

689
00:25:57,756 --> 00:26:00,525
Yeah. So
but I picked up Jimmy in Worcester.

690
00:26:00,525 --> 00:26:04,863
He was at his son's baseball tournament,
so should have stopped and got a coffee.

691
00:26:04,863 --> 00:26:07,799
Darn it. Next time. Next time.

692
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:10,368
And then wings over on Park Road. Yeah.

693
00:26:10,368 --> 00:26:12,671
Wings over in West Hartford
would be the closest one to us.

694
00:26:12,671 --> 00:26:12,904
Yeah.

695
00:26:12,904 --> 00:26:14,839
Shout out to Park Road.

696
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:18,109
A lot of things happening on Park Road.

697
00:26:18,443 --> 00:26:20,245
There's Playhouse on Park.

698
00:26:20,245 --> 00:26:22,047
Great place.

699
00:26:22,047 --> 00:26:25,483

He's amazing. He's awesome.

702
00:26:30,722 --> 00:26:32,958
Oh my gosh,
great sound, incredible performer.

703
00:26:32,958 --> 00:26:35,260
Yeah, beautiful voice. Yes.

704
00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:36,027
We're golfing together.

00:26:41,232 --> 00:26:42,500
Love them too.

Currently and to the end of August.

709
00:26:44,502 --> 00:26:46,571
Fries of Fini.

710
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:49,174
15% of those sales go to ASP.

711
00:26:49,174 --> 00:26:51,943
Go to Playhouse on Park. Great.

712
00:26:51,943 --> 00:26:55,347
I'm actually making a video tomorrow
with LaTanya Farrell.

713
00:26:55,347 --> 00:26:57,148
She's, the singing principal.

714
00:26:57,148 --> 00:27:00,151
So we're going to make a. Dummy like.

715
00:27:00,285 --> 00:27:01,620
Oh, fries a fini. Are you?

716
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:04,489
Get a milkshake and fries
and you dip the fries in the milkshake.

717
00:27:04,489 --> 00:27:05,457
Perfect. Out of track.

718
00:27:05,457 --> 00:27:07,258
I'll bring the kids there, please. Yes.

719
00:27:07,258 --> 00:27:09,027
As a phoenix, I love that.

720
00:27:09,027 --> 00:27:12,063
Then cricket press.

721
00:27:12,263 --> 00:27:12,764
Not amazing.

722
00:27:12,764 --> 00:27:14,966
That's where I get the stickers
and the business card.

723
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:17,469
Shout out to Cricket press.

724
00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:20,472
And then fresh ink

725
00:27:21,172 --> 00:27:22,307
happening on park. It's great.

726
00:27:22,307 --> 00:27:24,442
I figured you can get everything you want
record.

727
00:27:24,442 --> 00:27:26,444
It's being a fresh ink.
I want to give you a shirt.

728
00:27:26,444 --> 00:27:27,812
Thank you.

729
00:27:27,812 --> 00:27:30,482
This is a. I love it for us. I love it.

730
00:27:31,783 --> 00:27:33,184
Friends are us.

731
00:27:33,184 --> 00:27:35,754
Maybe this one. This one's for Robert.
Okay.

732
00:27:35,754 --> 00:27:36,054
Maybe.

733
00:27:36,054 --> 00:27:38,023
Robert, do you know where this is from?

734
00:27:38,023 --> 00:27:40,892
Robert. Putting you on the spot.

735
00:27:40,892 --> 00:27:43,561
F o f back in 1998.

736
00:27:43,561 --> 00:27:45,163
Bash of the beach, Hulk Hogan.

737
00:27:45,163 --> 00:27:46,998
All right, that's your hint.

738
00:27:46,998 --> 00:27:48,199
But heel of that.

739
00:27:48,199 --> 00:27:49,334
Hulk Hogan went bad.

740
00:27:49,334 --> 00:27:52,170
Enjoying the NWA.

741
00:27:52,170 --> 00:27:53,104
Thank you.

742
00:27:53,104 --> 00:27:55,106
Hulk Hogan.

743
00:27:55,106 --> 00:27:58,076
Now you said you see.

744
00:27:58,076 --> 00:28:00,111
Well, he know Hulk Hogan. Yes, for sure.

745
00:28:00,111 --> 00:28:02,280
He loves Hulk Hogan. Probably doesn't.

746
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,548
I mean.

747
00:28:03,548 --> 00:28:04,482
He's a real.

748
00:28:04,482 --> 00:28:05,950
He loved Hulk Hogan growing up.

749
00:28:05,950 --> 00:28:07,252
He had all the sets, he said.

750
00:28:07,252 --> 00:28:11,456
And then we went to Florida
and in Clearwater Beach, Hulk has a store

751
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:13,625
and he was working
there, had all of his, like,

752
00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:15,527
paraphernalia on the store, memorabilia.

753
00:28:15,527 --> 00:28:17,395
Yeah, he was selling stuff
and he was in the corner.

754
00:28:17,395 --> 00:28:19,230
Robert's like,
you got to get a picture of me with him.

755
00:28:19,230 --> 00:28:21,966
Like, oh, but we did it.
And he was so happy.

756
00:28:21,966 --> 00:28:24,235
Robert. Like teeny tiny next to him. Yeah.

757
00:28:24,235 --> 00:28:25,870
And you know, Robert's not a TV guy,

758
00:28:25,870 --> 00:28:29,474
but next to Hulk, I think pretty much
everybody looks like small.

759
00:28:29,574 --> 00:28:32,343
No, I remember you'd. Be good at bar
trivia.

760
00:28:32,343 --> 00:28:33,945
Oh. Useless trivia.

761
00:28:33,945 --> 00:28:36,181
I'm amazed as I'm talking more to you.

762
00:28:36,181 --> 00:28:39,084
I feel like you would nail it. Oh,
yeah. Okay. Useless.

763
00:28:39,084 --> 00:28:41,519
No. Not useless. I guess that's true,

764
00:28:42,654 --> 00:28:44,055
but, Hulk is great.

765
00:28:44,055 --> 00:28:46,858
Well,

766
00:28:46,858 --> 00:28:48,760
you know, great.

767
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,462
Oh, and see my stickers? Yes.

768
00:28:50,462 --> 00:28:52,030
You know where I got these today?

769
00:28:52,030 --> 00:28:54,032
Where did you get them from? Remember
I told you?

770
00:28:54,032 --> 00:28:55,066
Okay, okay.

771
00:28:55,066 --> 00:28:57,102
Yes. There's my wife right
here. Hi, Nicole.

772
00:28:57,102 --> 00:28:58,436
I thought you were asking.

773
00:28:58,436 --> 00:29:00,371
No, no, I was listening, I paid attention.

774
00:29:00,371 --> 00:29:01,239
How you doing?

775
00:29:01,239 --> 00:29:03,641
Thanks for stopping in. No, it's my wife.

776
00:29:03,641 --> 00:29:06,644
You were subjugation teacher,
and you worked it out here.

777
00:29:07,112 --> 00:29:08,246
That's amazing.

778
00:29:08,246 --> 00:29:09,981
Oh, my gosh, I never knew that.

779
00:29:09,981 --> 00:29:11,583
You missed the part.
We already did the stickers.

780
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:13,318
We talked about how.

781
00:29:13,318 --> 00:29:15,587
We talked about all the stickers.
This one was our favorite.

782
00:29:15,587 --> 00:29:17,989
Yeah. Inclusion wins I love that.

783
00:29:17,989 --> 00:29:20,925
Yeah. That's so nice. Did you design them?

784
00:29:20,925 --> 00:29:22,761
I don't mind me here.

785
00:29:22,761 --> 00:29:24,262
You're like, leave this.

786
00:29:25,363 --> 00:29:26,297
No. Come on.

787
00:29:26,297 --> 00:29:29,300
This set. Yeah.

788
00:29:29,834 --> 00:29:32,470
That's my wife Nicole Feeney.

789
00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:34,606
Future podcast guest.

790
00:29:34,606 --> 00:29:34,939
Yeah.

791
00:29:34,939 --> 00:29:37,942
You need to be on the podcast.

792
00:29:39,410 --> 00:29:40,812
So so back off.

793
00:29:40,812 --> 00:29:42,847
Sandy and Chloe you talked about 140.

794
00:29:42,847 --> 00:29:45,817
Yes. People's Bank 141 elbow bump kid.

795
00:29:45,817 --> 00:29:48,119
They help kids with type one diabetes.

796
00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:51,122
That's 142 jumps by Chee.

797
00:29:51,156 --> 00:29:52,423
How high can you jump.

798
00:29:52,423 --> 00:29:54,159
I don't know, maybe three feet.

799
00:29:54,159 --> 00:29:55,160
Maybe. Nice.

800
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,694
Maybe. Do you do box jumps and stuff or.

801
00:29:56,694 --> 00:29:58,229
No. Yeah, yeah.

802
00:29:58,229 --> 00:29:58,997
He he taught me.

803
00:29:58,997 --> 00:30:02,734
He's really important that you want to go
so powerful with your hands.

804
00:30:02,734 --> 00:30:05,637
Really? He like he just the hands alone.

805
00:30:05,637 --> 00:30:07,939
If you do the hands fast
enough and powerful enough,

806
00:30:07,939 --> 00:30:10,875
you can feel your feet start to come off
the ground without even jumping.

807
00:30:10,875 --> 00:30:12,877
Okay, that was important.

808
00:30:12,877 --> 00:30:16,214
So when I was dunking at my sister's house
in her pool basketball hoop,

809
00:30:16,648 --> 00:30:18,316
I was focusing on the hands.

810
00:30:20,018 --> 00:30:20,385
Anyway.

811
00:30:20,385 --> 00:30:23,288
Jumps by Kai. Great podcast.

812
00:30:23,288 --> 00:30:27,959
Next week we have Heather Culp and Culp
construction and services.

813
00:30:27,959 --> 00:30:30,195
She taught. She worked in Japan.

814
00:30:30,195 --> 00:30:31,262
Now she's in Glastonbury.

815
00:30:31,262 --> 00:30:33,932
Great friend sponsors the podcast.

816
00:30:33,932 --> 00:30:36,267
And then we're going to Insight
Technology in Bristol.

817
00:30:36,267 --> 00:30:38,870
So those are coming
up. Great stuff. Coming up.

818
00:30:38,870 --> 00:30:41,873
Do you have oh speaking of, we did

819
00:30:42,373 --> 00:30:43,174
favorite restaurant.

820
00:30:43,174 --> 00:30:44,475
You were really family oriented.

821
00:30:44,475 --> 00:30:46,511
I think that's awesome and special.

822
00:30:46,511 --> 00:30:50,248
Sponsor to work.

823
00:30:50,582 --> 00:30:52,884
Oh in your favorite teacher
being a teacher. Yeah.

824
00:30:52,884 --> 00:30:54,519
So I taught nine years in Waterbury.

825
00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:56,855
I'm going into my 13th year
in West Hartford,

826
00:30:56,855 --> 00:30:58,456
and that's how we know each other.

827
00:30:58,456 --> 00:31:01,392
So let's talk about Wolcott School
and, yes,

828
00:31:01,392 --> 00:31:04,395
your daughter's favorite third
grade teacher is you. Yes.

829
00:31:04,395 --> 00:31:05,997
She always says her favorite teacher ever.

830
00:31:05,997 --> 00:31:06,631
Really? Yes.

831
00:31:06,631 --> 00:31:10,034
Okay,
I appreciate Lennox. You made my day.

832
00:31:11,002 --> 00:31:13,204
She was an amazing, amazing kid.

833
00:31:13,204 --> 00:31:14,973
The motto, be a good friend.

834
00:31:14,973 --> 00:31:18,109
She is a good friend, classmate, student.

835
00:31:18,443 --> 00:31:22,914
She cares for others because in a room of
22 kids, again with the varying,

836
00:31:23,414 --> 00:31:28,186
abilities, she was just so thoughtful
and, amazing kid.

837
00:31:28,186 --> 00:31:29,721
So congratulations.

838
00:31:29,721 --> 00:31:31,456
I'm super proud of Lennox.

839
00:31:31,456 --> 00:31:32,523
I wish I had 22.

840
00:31:32,523 --> 00:31:34,792
Lennox is.

841
00:31:34,792 --> 00:31:36,794
Even when she was in fourth grade,

842
00:31:36,794 --> 00:31:39,063
she would come in with another buddy,
read.

843
00:31:39,063 --> 00:31:40,298
Yeah, she loved doing that.

844
00:31:40,298 --> 00:31:42,901
But I always come home and tell me
when she got to do that. Great kid.

845
00:31:42,901 --> 00:31:44,269
Amazing, amazing kid.

846
00:31:44,269 --> 00:31:47,071
So thank you.
And I hope I have Teddy. Me too.

847
00:31:47,071 --> 00:31:48,306
And do you have a third?

848
00:31:48,306 --> 00:31:50,808
Yeah. Is now is Monroe older
or younger than younger?

849
00:31:50,808 --> 00:31:52,343
She's the youngest. She okay.

850
00:31:52,343 --> 00:31:55,146
So she'll be in kindergarten in two years.

851
00:31:55,146 --> 00:31:58,149
Gotcha.
So Teddy's middle guy. Yeah. Gotcha.

852
00:31:58,149 --> 00:31:59,984
And then Lennox,
I want to share a picture.

853
00:31:59,984 --> 00:32:01,052
Field day.

854
00:32:01,052 --> 00:32:04,055
It was super cool.
I just got this new job.

855
00:32:04,188 --> 00:32:07,025
I left High Meadow after ten years,

856
00:32:07,025 --> 00:32:09,861
and I'm working at two for one.

857
00:32:09,861 --> 00:32:12,463
And here's Lennox on field day with her.

858
00:32:12,463 --> 00:32:15,133
Two for one. She's so. Cute. I was like,
I got to get a picture.

859
00:32:15,133 --> 00:32:15,767
Two for one.

860
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:18,770
That's great. So, Lennox, amazing kid.

861
00:32:18,970 --> 00:32:20,838
There's my guy Lennox with Keith.

862

Visited the class from channels.

00:32:30,048 --> 00:32:33,384
He does the voice of UConn basketball
and football and the yard goats.

868
00:32:33,384 --> 00:32:35,486
Now he's New England Patriots. Wow.

869
00:32:35,486 --> 00:32:36,821
You got called up to the NFL.

870
00:32:36,821 --> 00:32:39,057
That's amazing. Couple.

871
00:32:39,057 --> 00:32:42,660
Oh then we saw each other on church
Saint Patrick's Day.

872
00:32:43,161 --> 00:32:44,862
We got the shamrock pants.

873
00:32:45,930 --> 00:32:46,831
Now Lennox is great.

874
00:32:46,831 --> 00:32:49,300
And there's our good friend Howard.

875
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:51,235
Oh yeah.

876
00:32:51,235 --> 00:32:54,238
That was that was crazy. And

877
00:32:54,939 --> 00:32:57,942
unlike crazier,

878
00:32:58,643 --> 00:33:01,512
thinking of Howard all the time,
I saw pictures up in my room.

879
00:33:01,512 --> 00:33:02,480
I have.

880
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,483
I didn't move his mailbox, Howard or his.

881
00:33:05,483 --> 00:33:08,319
His coat
hanger is still will always be untouched.

882
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:10,855
Yeah. So I think you gave us a picture.

883
00:33:10,855 --> 00:33:12,824
That picture
because she has it in her room.

884
00:33:12,824 --> 00:33:14,459
Really? Yeah.

885
00:33:14,459 --> 00:33:15,393
Yeah, yeah.

886
00:33:15,393 --> 00:33:17,895
That shows
the thoughtfulness of of Lennox.

887
00:33:17,895 --> 00:33:20,865
So think.

888
00:33:21,132 --> 00:33:24,135
So with all the teacher talk, did
you have a favorite teacher growing up?

889
00:33:24,235 --> 00:33:25,303
Let's see.

890
00:33:25,303 --> 00:33:27,505
And so you're West Hartford, right? Yes.
Born and raised.

891
00:33:27,505 --> 00:33:28,406
Born and raised actually.

892
00:33:28,406 --> 00:33:31,542
Well, there's a lot of favorite teachers,
but probably you probably know her.

893
00:33:31,542 --> 00:33:33,478
Do you know Barbara Carpenter?

894
00:33:33,478 --> 00:33:34,245
The name is familiar.

895
00:33:34,245 --> 00:33:35,780
He was my kindergarten teacher. Yeah.

896
00:33:35,780 --> 00:33:37,915
And she made a huge impact on me. Yeah.

897
00:33:37,915 --> 00:33:40,818
And then in high school, I went back
and did an internship with her.

898
00:33:40,818 --> 00:33:42,387
And I got to really see.

899
00:33:42,387 --> 00:33:45,223
Just like the magic
that poured out of her.

900
00:33:45,223 --> 00:33:48,026
Is her brother, the coach at Hall?

901
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:48,860
I think so, yeah.

902
00:33:48,860 --> 00:33:51,162
Yeah, that guy. Steve, I think so.

903
00:33:51,162 --> 00:33:52,997
If I saw him, I would, I would know.

904
00:33:52,997 --> 00:33:55,033
Yeah, I think I think.

905
00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:56,234
Her daughters are teachers too.

906
00:33:56,234 --> 00:33:58,669
Yes, yes, yes. She's wonderful.

907
00:33:58,669 --> 00:34:00,538
And you still currently teaching she.

908
00:34:00,538 --> 00:34:02,774
The last time I had seen her,
she's good friends with my mom.

909
00:34:02,774 --> 00:34:05,877
So the last time I'd seen her,
she was working at Saint Thomas.

910
00:34:06,978 --> 00:34:09,347
Not full time as a kindergarten teacher,
but working at Saint Thomas, I think.

911
00:34:09,347 --> 00:34:12,316
Maybe doing some reading specialist work.
But she's an incredible.

912
00:34:12,316 --> 00:34:13,317
Still around? Yeah.

913
00:34:13,317 --> 00:34:14,018
Oh, we got to center.

914
00:34:14,018 --> 00:34:17,021
What minute is this?

915
00:34:17,355 --> 00:34:19,223
Barbara Carpenter, minute 38.

916
00:34:19,223 --> 00:34:20,691
Favorite teacher in kindergarten.

917
00:34:20,691 --> 00:34:24,228
So, you know, you've lived a very happy,
healthy life.

918
00:34:24,228 --> 00:34:25,930
I'm not exactly sure how old you are.

919
00:34:25,930 --> 00:34:28,366
We don't need to talk about that. That's.
We don't do that.

920
00:34:28,366 --> 00:34:29,333
That's not being a good friend.

921
00:34:29,333 --> 00:34:32,136
We don't ask people's age.

922
00:34:32,136 --> 00:34:36,140
But that's amazing that you remember your
kindergarten teacher, Barbara Carpenter.

923
00:34:36,140 --> 00:34:37,842
Shout out to Barbara. That's amazing.

924
00:34:37,842 --> 00:34:40,845
So hopefully we'll share this
with her. Yes.

925
00:34:40,845 --> 00:34:43,915
But what stood out in kindergarten,
she just.

926
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:45,083
She was. Just.

927
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:47,151
What school was that?
A Braeburn? Okay. Wow.

928
00:34:47,151 --> 00:34:50,555
Full of determination and joy and empathy.

929
00:34:50,555 --> 00:34:52,757
And you can do it. Attitude.

930
00:34:52,757 --> 00:34:54,992
And she still like that?
You'll see her around town.

931
00:34:54,992 --> 00:34:57,462
She she's just wonderful and walks
with a mission.

932
00:34:57,462 --> 00:34:59,831
And she's got purpose
in everything that she does.

933
00:35:00,832 --> 00:35:01,432
I love it.

934
00:35:01,432 --> 00:35:02,834
Yeah. She's a wonderful lady.

935
00:35:02,834 --> 00:35:05,837
Barbara Carpenter, favorite teacher.

936
00:35:06,170 --> 00:35:07,305
I hadn't had that one.

937
00:35:07,305 --> 00:35:09,974
I had a couple of Connor teachers.

938
00:35:09,974 --> 00:35:11,342
So did you go to Braeburn?

939
00:35:11,342 --> 00:35:13,244
Cedric. Cedric. Connor.

940
00:35:13,244 --> 00:35:14,745
I went to Miss Porter's. Miss Porter's?

941
00:35:14,745 --> 00:35:16,013
Oh, nice. Yes. Yeah.

942
00:35:16,013 --> 00:35:19,016
Beautiful school
my first week, a two for one.

943
00:35:19,083 --> 00:35:21,619
Was that Miss Port? Oh. Was it? Yeah.

944
00:35:21,619 --> 00:35:22,653
Which I have magnets for.

945
00:35:22,653 --> 00:35:24,422
Lennox, this is Maggie.

946
00:35:24,422 --> 00:35:26,023
Oh, that says thank you.

947
00:35:26,023 --> 00:35:26,724
Some stickers.

948
00:35:26,724 --> 00:35:29,160
Thank you. For one. But, Miss Porter's
great there.

949
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,395
Cafeteria alone.

950
00:35:31,395 --> 00:35:33,798
The food. Amazing.

951
00:35:33,798 --> 00:35:35,666
They like it's Taco Tuesday.

952
00:35:35,666 --> 00:35:37,401
There was a fresh salad bar.

953
00:35:37,401 --> 00:35:39,937
I don't know,
was it the same thing? No. Probably not.

954
00:35:39,937 --> 00:35:41,873
They did have a salad bar
when I was there, but.

955
00:35:41,873 --> 00:35:44,642
Okay. Yeah.

956
00:35:44,642 --> 00:35:46,244
Like fresh sandwiches.

957
00:35:46,244 --> 00:35:48,579
They did. 
It was amazing. The food was. Great.

958
00:35:49,914 --> 00:35:50,515
And what else?

959
00:35:50,515 --> 00:35:52,183
The gym was great.

960
00:35:52,183 --> 00:35:54,252
AstroTurf was great.

961
00:35:54,252 --> 00:35:57,255
No, I think it's a wonderful school.

962
00:35:57,255 --> 00:35:59,657
Yeah. So did you play sports there? Yes.
What sport?

963
00:35:59,657 --> 00:36:01,893
I played softball, and I played ice
hockey.

964
00:36:01,893 --> 00:36:02,760
Oh, nice.

965
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:03,427
Yeah.

966
00:36:03,427 --> 00:36:05,596
Miss Porter's great school. Yes.

967
00:36:05,596 --> 00:36:07,064
Yeah. My first week at two for one.

968
00:36:07,064 --> 00:36:09,000
I just did a week at

969
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,369
Miss Porter's and Kingswood Oxford.

970
00:36:11,369 --> 00:36:13,137
So two amazing schools.

971
00:36:13,137 --> 00:36:16,174
And then my third week's
going to be at Saint Joseph's College.

972
00:36:16,207 --> 00:36:17,175
Oh that's wonderful.

973
00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:21,913
It's going to be August 11th
to the 18th or somewhere around there.

974
00:36:21,913 --> 00:36:24,649
16th August

975
00:36:24,649 --> 00:36:26,284
11th to the 15th.

976
00:36:26,284 --> 00:36:28,719
Sign up. Lennox.
Hopefully your foot's better by now.

977
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,722
I know a broken foot,
but we had to derail our sports camps

978
00:36:31,923 --> 00:36:33,291
for the first couple weeks.

979
00:36:33,291 --> 00:36:34,859
I know, I saw that I was like, come on.

980
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,062
Nurse Tracy called me and I've.

981
00:36:38,062 --> 00:36:39,530
Lennox has never gone to the nurse.

982
00:36:39,530 --> 00:36:42,466
In four years of being at walk,
it was like,

983
00:36:42,466 --> 00:36:45,269
you know, unless we can handle it at home,
leave Nurse Tracy. Hello.

984
00:36:45,269 --> 00:36:46,337
And she's got enough to handle.

985
00:36:46,337 --> 00:36:46,971
Yeah.

986
00:36:46,971 --> 00:36:49,373
So she calls me, I'm like, oh, no.

987
00:36:49,373 --> 00:36:50,341
It's like Lennox is okay.

988
00:36:50,341 --> 00:36:53,044
She doesn't want to go home
or ankle's really swollen.

989
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:54,278
So I'm like, okay.

990
00:36:54,278 --> 00:36:57,014
I see her getting off the bus
on our doorbell camera and she's crawling

991
00:36:57,014 --> 00:37:00,418
down the driveway like, oh, this is bad,
this is bad.

992
00:37:00,418 --> 00:37:03,421
So Friday at Urgent Care, broken foot.

993
00:37:03,588 --> 00:37:04,655
She didn't want to go home.

994
00:37:04,655 --> 00:37:05,790
No, she did want to go home.
Do you know what?

995
00:37:05,790 --> 00:37:08,326
A kid has a great heart,
and she's tough as nails.

996
00:37:08,326 --> 00:37:10,194
I'm so proud of Lennox.

997
00:37:10,194 --> 00:37:11,362
The legend continues.

998
00:37:12,363 --> 00:37:13,531
Lennox the legend.

999
00:37:13,531 --> 00:37:14,765
She crawled with a broken.

1000
00:37:14,765 --> 00:37:15,800
Ball down the driveway.

1001
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,703
I was like, oh my gosh.

1002
00:37:18,703 --> 00:37:19,704
Wow. Yeah.

1003
00:37:19,704 --> 00:37:21,072
Poor thing.

1004
00:37:21,072 --> 00:37:22,873
I, that's crazy.

1005
00:37:22,873 --> 00:37:24,275
Did she get a field day or when?

1006
00:37:24,275 --> 00:37:26,077
No, the last day of school,
they had extra recess

1007
00:37:26,077 --> 00:37:29,080
and she was playing volleyball
and rolled her ankle.

1008
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,916
Tore the bone right off. Yeah.

1009
00:37:31,916 --> 00:37:33,517
I Stowers ankles are the worst.

1010
00:37:33,517 --> 00:37:34,685
I sprained my ankle all the time.

1011
00:37:34,685 --> 00:37:36,754
Playing basketball is just not fun.

1012
00:37:36,754 --> 00:37:39,090
No, and it just affects your whole
everything.

1013
00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:41,125
Yeah.

1014
00:37:41,125 --> 00:37:42,860
I'm so sorry.

1015
00:37:42,860 --> 00:37:44,362
She's on the road to recovery, though.

1016
00:37:44,362 --> 00:37:46,631
Good, good.

1017
00:37:46,631 --> 00:37:47,298
All right.

1018
00:37:47,298 --> 00:37:49,300
So. And did you have
another favorite teacher

1019
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:51,669
that you wanted to mention
after Barbara Carpenter?

1020
00:37:51,669 --> 00:37:55,673
Probably my one of my college
professors, my, physiology professor.

1021
00:37:56,073 --> 00:37:57,475
He was wonderful.

1022
00:37:57,475 --> 00:38:00,278
He was in his late 70s, still teaching.

1023
00:38:00,278 --> 00:38:05,116
Came to school every day with a vest,
blazer, no matter the weather.

1024
00:38:05,416 --> 00:38:09,854
And he would go online,
as he called it, every night at 9:00.

1025
00:38:09,854 --> 00:38:11,589
And you,
if you had questions about your reading

1026
00:38:11,589 --> 00:38:14,925
or homework, you could message him,
which I thought was great, remarkable.

1027
00:38:14,925 --> 00:38:17,828
And his whole thing was,
I don't want you to memorize it,

1028
00:38:17,828 --> 00:38:19,930
which in science, it's
a lot of memorization.

1029
00:38:19,930 --> 00:38:22,867
Yeah, I was a biology major.
It's just memorization. Memorization.

1030
00:38:22,867 --> 00:38:26,737
He wanted you to understand it, which
I thought was really cool, and it made it.

1031
00:38:26,737 --> 00:38:28,372
So you did understand it.

1032
00:38:28,372 --> 00:38:30,975
And he did remember it. So he was special.

1033
00:38:30,975 --> 00:38:31,642
What was his name?

1034
00:38:31,642 --> 00:38:32,543
Doctor Ross.

1035
00:38:32,543 --> 00:38:35,546
Nice. And what school?
Fairfield. You? Nice?

1036
00:38:35,546 --> 00:38:37,548
Yeah. My girls are looking at schools
now. My.

1037
00:38:37,548 --> 00:38:38,883
I have twin girls.

1038
00:38:38,883 --> 00:38:41,886
They, you know, you see, 
but they're going to senior year.

1039
00:38:41,886 --> 00:38:45,790
Oh, my God, they're looking at Fordham

1040
00:38:46,991 --> 00:38:47,224
Yeah.

1041
00:38:47,224 --> 00:38:49,560
Exciting. So, Fairfield. Wait. Fairfield.

1042
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,495
No, no, no. Yeah. If you're hot. Yeah.

1043
00:38:51,495 --> 00:38:53,264
They were maybe hitting that on the way
home.

1044
00:38:53,264 --> 00:38:55,166
Oh, good. Sacred heart feel for you?

1045
00:38:55,166 --> 00:38:56,767

00:38:56,767 --> 00:38:59,403

00:39:18,456 --> 00:39:19,757
You know, I love Sean. Yes.

1053
00:39:19,757 --> 00:39:22,860
We have some dark roast and medium roast
for you to try.

1054
00:39:22,893 --> 00:39:25,896
I think it's show and tell time.

1055
00:39:26,130 --> 00:39:27,765
Coffee sauce from Central America.

1056
00:39:27,765 --> 00:39:29,166
Oh, I already this is my.

1057
00:39:29,166 --> 00:39:33,037
I bought a bag once already,
and I told my wife, remember?

1058
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:34,004
What'd you think, Nicole?

1059
00:39:35,106 --> 00:39:35,840
Did you like it?

1060
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,775
Yeah, I brought it to my sisters.
Oh, good.

1061
00:39:37,775 --> 00:39:39,944
And we all tried it in Boulder.
How it was.

1062
00:39:39,944 --> 00:39:41,145
You got to. Try the espresso now.

1063
00:39:41,145 --> 00:39:43,347
I know, I told her.

1064
00:39:43,347 --> 00:39:44,648
It's it's so I don't

1065
00:39:44,648 --> 00:39:47,785
I drink nothing in any of it,
but the espresso is it's not bitter.

1066
00:39:47,785 --> 00:39:50,654
It's really, really good.

1067
00:39:50,654 --> 00:39:52,123
Well, I had my espresso.

1068
00:39:52,123 --> 00:39:55,126
Remember how many days in a row now?

1069
00:39:55,726 --> 00:39:56,360
Tell her what?

1070
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,795
Tell her what size you get.

1071
00:39:57,795 --> 00:40:00,765
I have four shots a day.

1072
00:40:01,065 --> 00:40:02,833
Four shots a day. Do you.

1073
00:40:02,833 --> 00:40:03,868
Are these labeled or mixed?

1074
00:40:03,868 --> 00:40:05,736
So, medium dark D.

1075
00:40:05,736 --> 00:40:07,037
All right, start with the dark.

1076
00:40:07,037 --> 00:40:09,073
You want to try some to quarter.

1077
00:40:09,073 --> 00:40:11,008
So yeah.

1078
00:40:11,008 --> 00:40:12,243
Dark roast.

1079
00:40:12,243 --> 00:40:14,245
Did you make this at home? Yes.

1080
00:40:14,245 --> 00:40:16,414
We'll do a little sip
because I'm going to only have one cup.

1081
00:40:17,381 --> 00:40:19,683
Dark roast

1082
00:40:19,683 --> 00:40:20,251
on a smell.

1083
00:40:20,251 --> 00:40:22,319
It first smells dark.

1084
00:40:22,319 --> 00:40:24,221
Good, good.

1085
00:40:24,221 --> 00:40:27,224
Looks dark.

1086
00:40:29,126 --> 00:40:30,094
Still warm.

1087
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:31,695
Oh, yeah.

1088
00:40:31,695 --> 00:40:33,931
That's I mean,

1089
00:40:33,931 --> 00:40:34,665
it's doing the job.

1090
00:40:34,665 --> 00:40:37,268
Dark.

1091
00:40:37,268 --> 00:40:37,868
Now dark.

1092
00:40:37,868 --> 00:40:39,603
How many?

1093
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:41,205
If you were to, like, tear them.

1094
00:40:41,205 --> 00:40:45,309
How close to an espresso is dark?

1095
00:40:46,410 --> 00:40:47,244
So pretty.

1096
00:40:47,244 --> 00:40:48,045
Pretty close. Yeah.

1097
00:40:48,045 --> 00:40:48,546
Right. Yeah.

1098
00:40:48,546 --> 00:40:51,549
This is giving me some. Yeah. Some really.

1099
00:40:51,782 --> 00:40:54,785
I mean, I've only been drinking espresso,
but this is, has that

1100
00:40:55,286 --> 00:40:57,888
I want to see kick or like,

1101
00:40:57,888 --> 00:40:59,123
full bodied.

1102
00:40:59,123 --> 00:41:01,459
There you go. Yeah.

1103
00:41:01,459 --> 00:41:04,462
I did, podcast
with the two guys on a lot of wine

1104
00:41:05,396 --> 00:41:06,764
and they're like, all right, taste it.

1105
00:41:06,764 --> 00:41:09,366
And you'd say whatever you want, right?

1106
00:41:09,366 --> 00:41:11,502
And they're all like cherry strawberries.

1107
00:41:11,502 --> 00:41:14,438
And I swear I don't know why
and how I tasted bananas.

1108
00:41:14,438 --> 00:41:16,574
You did. So I said bananas.

1109
00:41:16,574 --> 00:41:17,808
And I thought the record was like,

1110
00:41:18,876 --> 00:41:21,445
like me
looking at me like, what did you just say?

1111
00:41:21,445 --> 00:41:23,247
You said anything?

1112
00:41:23,247 --> 00:41:24,982
I mean, I just say, like, sneakers, right?

1113
00:41:24,982 --> 00:41:27,218
Racers like it tasted like bananas.

1114
00:41:27,218 --> 00:41:28,886
Could be worse.

1115
00:41:28,886 --> 00:41:31,222
It just does not.

1116
00:41:31,222 --> 00:41:31,789
Tastes like bananas.

1117
00:41:31,789 --> 00:41:32,456
Oh, good. Good.

1118
00:41:32,456 --> 00:41:34,592
I'm glad this is dark.

1119
00:41:34,592 --> 00:41:37,094
This is great. You want to try?

1120
00:41:37,094 --> 00:41:40,097
Come take a sip.

1121
00:41:40,297 --> 00:41:41,198
You got to be on camera.

1122
00:41:41,198 --> 00:41:41,499
Sorry.

1123
00:41:41,499 --> 00:41:44,502
It's okay.

1124
00:41:46,737 --> 00:41:49,740
Wife of finished trying it.

1125
00:41:49,773 --> 00:41:51,675
Called.

1126
00:41:51,675 --> 00:41:52,977
Nicole.

1127
00:41:52,977 --> 00:41:55,579
Wife. Afeni. What do you think?

1128
00:41:55,579 --> 00:41:55,980
Dark.

1129
00:41:55,980 --> 00:41:58,549
Right? Delicious.

1130
00:41:58,549 --> 00:42:00,584
She loves the cinnamon. Yes.

1131
00:42:00,584 --> 00:42:01,485
That's nice.

1132
00:42:01,485 --> 00:42:03,921
It's whipped
cream and cinnamon is her move.

1133
00:42:03,921 --> 00:42:06,023
What's your take on putting whipped
cream and cinnamon?

1134
00:42:06,023 --> 00:42:07,725
You do whatever makes you happy.

1135
00:42:07,725 --> 00:42:09,527
But I think whatever. Floats your boat.

1136
00:42:09,527 --> 00:42:12,496
Maybe the way Robert makes coffee, I'm
like, is it a milkshake or is it a coffee?

1137
00:42:12,496 --> 00:42:14,532
At this point, really? What you do.

1138
00:42:14,532 --> 00:42:18,202
Like,
like half and half or cream and sugar fat?

1139
00:42:18,202 --> 00:42:20,137
A long talk about decreasing the sugar.

1140
00:42:20,137 --> 00:42:22,673
He's like us, and not everyone's like,
you're just down the hatch.

1141
00:42:22,673 --> 00:42:24,108
But you know, whatever.

1142
00:42:24,108 --> 00:42:26,143
Other it's like six creamers in it.

1143
00:42:26,143 --> 00:42:28,679
And like sort of like.

1144
00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:29,647
At that point, what is it?

1145
00:42:29,647 --> 00:42:31,181
What are you drinking right now? Yeah.

1146
00:42:31,181 --> 00:42:32,917
Like that's a stomach ache in a cavity.

1147
00:42:32,917 --> 00:42:34,952
Yes. All that is. Yep. Exactly.

1148
00:42:34,952 --> 00:42:36,854
Yeah.
Whatever works for you. Everyone likes

1149
00:42:37,788 --> 00:42:38,422
likes their coffee.

1150
00:42:38,422 --> 00:42:41,425
Different like this.

1151
00:42:41,592 --> 00:42:42,226
Dark.

1152
00:42:42,226 --> 00:42:43,827
And I'm going to see the difference here
okay.

1153
00:42:43,827 --> 00:42:46,830
So I'm going to
you had to finish it first.

1154
00:42:46,964 --> 00:42:47,932
Me all hopped up.

1155
00:42:47,932 --> 00:42:50,935
I have to run home.

1156
00:42:52,937 --> 00:42:54,972
That was the dark. Yes.

1157
00:42:54,972 --> 00:42:57,007
What bag is this? What do we have.

1158
00:42:57,007 --> 00:42:58,409
On the bottom?

1159
00:42:58,409 --> 00:43:01,312
Oh, medium ground coffee.

1160
00:43:01,312 --> 00:43:03,981
Now, do you ground?
Do you always ground or do you have beans?

1161
00:43:03,981 --> 00:43:05,716
You could do a whole bean or ground. Okay.

1162
00:43:05,716 --> 00:43:08,285
And so when it's, if you order, ground
and they,

1163
00:43:08,285 --> 00:43:11,055
my roaster will grind it like upon order
and then send it out

1164
00:43:11,055 --> 00:43:14,592
which most people get their orders in 3
to 4 days, depending on where you live.

1165
00:43:14,592 --> 00:43:18,228
What's what seems to be the most popular
choice, ground or not ground,

1166
00:43:18,362 --> 00:43:19,697
or being or ground.

1167
00:43:19,697 --> 00:43:22,232
Is this pretty split? Really? Yeah.

1168
00:43:22,232 --> 00:43:23,000
Some people are very.

1169
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,401
No, no, I have to grind it at home

1170
00:43:24,401 --> 00:43:26,503
and other people are just like,
I just want to make my coffee.

1171
00:43:26,503 --> 00:43:27,471
It's pretty split.

1172
00:43:27,471 --> 00:43:30,507
Now. This might be like a rookie
question does when someone grinds it,

1173
00:43:30,641 --> 00:43:32,142
that's a separate machine. Yes.

1174
00:43:32,142 --> 00:43:34,545
So you got your grinder,
then you got your coffee machine. Yes.

1175
00:43:34,545 --> 00:43:37,481
And you can also grind it various
like how fine you want it.

1176
00:43:37,481 --> 00:43:38,549
Right. Yeah.

1177
00:43:38,549 --> 00:43:41,552
What are the levels of ground like
how would I say it.

1178
00:43:41,552 --> 00:43:43,887
The you said thick ground thing.

1179
00:43:43,887 --> 00:43:47,524
What say it would just say
you would just choose ground okay. No.

1180
00:43:47,625 --> 00:43:51,595
Do you know the types of ground
like, paper thin or.

1181
00:43:51,629 --> 00:43:54,632
I don't, you know,
great question that I don't know.

1182
00:43:54,865 --> 00:43:55,666
I actually

1183
00:43:56,767 --> 00:43:59,403
on the way over, I was like, oh,
I got a ketchup.

1184
00:43:59,403 --> 00:44:04,274
I wrote, like, coffee explained video
there like an Americano is.

1185
00:44:04,608 --> 00:44:05,509
Yeah, all the different type.

1186
00:44:05,509 --> 00:44:08,445
Oh yes. The large Americano is shot.
Yes, yes.

1187
00:44:08,445 --> 00:44:11,215
Microphone
level of foam served on a plate.

1188
00:44:11,215 --> 00:44:13,784
Would play with a serving teaspoon.

1189
00:44:13,784 --> 00:44:16,086
I was like,
all right, maybe it's not the video, but.

1190
00:44:16,086 --> 00:44:18,956
It's very specific. Okay.

1191
00:44:18,956 --> 00:44:19,256
All right.

1192
00:44:19,256 --> 00:44:22,493
Little already a little lighter
and not as strong on the nose.

1193
00:44:22,993 --> 00:44:25,029
Still as dark, I think.

1194
00:44:25,029 --> 00:44:25,629
Color wise.

1195
00:44:25,629 --> 00:44:28,632
Yeah, that makes sense. Right?

1196
00:44:29,066 --> 00:44:29,933
No bananas.

1197
00:44:29,933 --> 00:44:32,536
Every is.

1198
00:44:32,536 --> 00:44:35,506
Oh, okay.

1199
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:39,510
There is a it's lighter like,

1200
00:44:39,643 --> 00:44:39,843
Yeah.

1201
00:44:39,843 --> 00:44:41,078
There's a different flavor to it.

1202
00:44:41,078 --> 00:44:43,347
Like to I think.

1203
00:44:43,347 --> 00:44:46,350
What what do you taste.

1204
00:44:48,085 --> 00:44:49,486
I want to say it's like jet

1205
00:44:49,486 --> 00:44:52,289
gentle or on my tongue and mouth.

1206
00:44:52,289 --> 00:44:53,023
Okay.

1207
00:44:53,023 --> 00:44:54,458
Not as much kick okay.

1208
00:44:54,458 --> 00:44:57,327
The dark
but like a good flavor. Like a good

1209
00:44:59,063 --> 00:44:59,396
I don't know

1210
00:44:59,396 --> 00:45:02,399
coffee ice cream flavor
I don't know it's it's like it's.

1211
00:45:05,102 --> 00:45:06,103
I like it okay.

1212
00:45:06,103 --> 00:45:09,707
It's not it's not too light
because sometimes it's watered down.

1213
00:45:09,707 --> 00:45:11,341
Yeah. And. Right.

1214
00:45:11,341 --> 00:45:14,344
You want to try.

1215
00:45:15,312 --> 00:45:18,315
Nicole trying the medium roast.

1216
00:45:22,119 --> 00:45:22,453
Yeah.

1217
00:45:22,453 --> 00:45:23,587
That's delicious.

1218
00:45:23,587 --> 00:45:26,590
You know, a medium girl? So,
They're both.

1219
00:45:26,924 --> 00:45:28,325
Thank you.

1220
00:45:28,325 --> 00:45:30,794
Oh, you know what we were going to do?

1221
00:45:30,794 --> 00:45:33,230
Maybe next time
we were going to make espresso martinis.

1222
00:45:33,230 --> 00:45:36,300
But maybe now
we can make an Irish coffee.

1223
00:45:37,234 --> 00:45:41,572
Ooh. Go tell Connor
that we need some Baileys. Yes.

1224
00:45:41,572 --> 00:45:44,575
Other way out. No. Right now,

1225
00:45:44,942 --> 00:45:47,211
that means I could drink for free to.

1226
00:45:47,211 --> 00:45:49,747
Forgot to use the pie.

1227
00:45:49,747 --> 00:45:51,081
Or we could.

1228
00:45:51,081 --> 00:45:52,716
Some people do the Irish coffee.

1229
00:45:52,716 --> 00:45:54,151
Baileys and a whiskey.

1230
00:45:54,151 --> 00:45:57,154
Oh. Do you drink espresso martini?

1231
00:45:57,187 --> 00:45:58,088
Yeah.

1232
00:45:58,088 --> 00:46:00,491
Okay.
But you don't drink whiskey. Correct.

1233
00:46:04,027 --> 00:46:05,462
Amazing.

1234
00:46:05,462 --> 00:46:08,665
Now, how fast can I have the espresso
mark?

1235
00:46:08,966 --> 00:46:11,268
The espresso grounds sent to us?

1236
00:46:11,268 --> 00:46:13,504
Because we're ordering that from work.

1237
00:46:13,504 --> 00:46:14,438
Maybe right now.

1238
00:46:14,438 --> 00:46:16,707
Where you live.
I guess it'll be here in two days.

1239
00:46:16,707 --> 00:46:17,274
All right.

1240
00:46:17,274 --> 00:46:20,277
Espresso espressos.

1241
00:46:20,844 --> 00:46:21,645
Because they're now.

1242
00:46:21,645 --> 00:46:26,183
I mean, they're only like 315, $3.50,
I think at.

1243
00:46:26,216 --> 00:46:29,286
But they get
how many you can make with a whole bag.

1244
00:46:31,588 --> 00:46:33,257
How many can you make in a bag?

1245
00:46:33,257 --> 00:46:35,292
I don't I've ever tested it, but, I mean.

1246
00:46:35,292 --> 00:46:36,627
You used guesstimate.

1247
00:46:36,627 --> 00:46:39,630
My guess you could probably make 30.

1248
00:46:40,664 --> 00:46:41,598
For 15 bucks.

1249
00:46:41,598 --> 00:46:42,766
You make 30? Yeah.

1250
00:46:42,766 --> 00:46:46,270
Or by yes,
I mean, that's third grade math.

1251
00:46:46,303 --> 00:46:47,938
Yeah, that's what I teach the at there.

1252
00:46:47,938 --> 00:46:49,606
Yeah, I open up lessons going kids.

1253
00:46:49,606 --> 00:46:52,342
I'm going to teach you math
so you don't get ripped off.

1254
00:46:52,342 --> 00:46:55,345
Yes. That's
well that's that's smart math. Yep.

1255
00:46:55,846 --> 00:46:57,314
Real world mean I'll get back to you.

1256
00:46:57,314 --> 00:46:58,682
Yeah. Count.

1257
00:46:58,682 --> 00:47:00,184
Because I do double shots each time.

1258
00:47:01,218 --> 00:47:03,120
So now how do you know it's double.

1259
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,488
Do you just fill it to the top?

1260
00:47:04,488 --> 00:47:07,191
Yeah. There's two different
like reservoirs for the sky.

1261
00:47:07,191 --> 00:47:08,792
So when you fill it in the container.

1262
00:47:08,792 --> 00:47:10,694
So and I just go right to the devil.

1263
00:47:10,694 --> 00:47:11,795
Nice. Get her done.

1264
00:47:11,795 --> 00:47:13,764
Get up to the point.

1265
00:47:13,764 --> 00:47:16,767
She gets up at 430.

1266
00:47:17,034 --> 00:47:18,101
That's when you get things done though.

1267
00:47:18,101 --> 00:47:20,404
Yeah. Where are you? To me.

1268
00:47:20,404 --> 00:47:23,273
I was up at 430

1269
00:47:23,273 --> 00:47:25,909
watching Tiny Desk

1270
00:47:25,909 --> 00:47:27,311
and then.

1271
00:47:27,311 --> 00:47:27,945
Yeah, I was up.

1272
00:47:27,945 --> 00:47:32,182
So not having not having a I'm
so used to going to work.

1273
00:47:32,182 --> 00:47:32,549
Right.

1274
00:47:32,549 --> 00:47:35,686
So having time off and the girls are away.

1275
00:47:35,686 --> 00:47:37,921
So I was like, what are we going to do
I don't know.

1276
00:47:37,921 --> 00:47:38,689
So I get up early.

1277
00:47:38,689 --> 00:47:41,692
Do I sleep in?
I got up before there you go.

1278
00:47:41,959 --> 00:47:46,029
Then around like after lunch
that I brought to my wife at work.

1279
00:47:47,331 --> 00:47:50,500
I got to full, so I went to the Jane,
took a nap.

1280
00:47:50,500 --> 00:47:53,503
I don't maybe I shouldn't say this,
but I slept, took a nap at the JC

1281
00:47:54,204 --> 00:47:57,207
not was not ashamed to say it.

1282
00:47:57,374 --> 00:47:58,442
When you try the J.

1283
00:47:58,442 --> 00:48:01,078
You know they don't let new members nap.

1284
00:48:01,078 --> 00:48:02,813
But I've been. There
while they're existing.

1285
00:48:02,813 --> 00:48:05,816
They're like, it's funny. When I'm sleep.

1286
00:48:05,849 --> 00:48:07,751
They're like, oh, there's

1287
00:48:07,751 --> 00:48:10,053
Feeney now.

1288
00:48:10,053 --> 00:48:11,054
Did I miss anything?

1289
00:48:11,054 --> 00:48:15,158
Is there anything you'd like to share
about Sweet Bear Coffee again?

1290
00:48:15,158 --> 00:48:17,661
I'm honored talking with you.
Thank you for taking the time.

1291
00:48:17,661 --> 00:48:19,496

You you will see the sweet bear logo
at our golf tournament.

1295
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,538
You will see it on our parade shirts.

1296
00:48:28,538 --> 00:48:30,674
So, I want to thank you.

1297
00:48:30,674 --> 00:48:33,911
Thank you, and thank you for, 
helping the Crescent moon,

1298
00:48:34,478 --> 00:48:37,481
company up in canton. Yes.

1299
00:48:37,648 --> 00:48:39,283
Amazing place there.

1300
00:48:39,283 --> 00:48:40,384
Have you heard of the crescent moon?

1301
00:48:41,618 --> 00:48:43,754
Crescent moon care?

1302
00:48:43,754 --> 00:48:44,588
Yeah. Yep.

1303
00:48:44,588 --> 00:48:47,157
It's right near one of the barber shops.

1304
00:48:47,157 --> 00:48:49,326
Oh, right across Bavaro. Yeah.
That's where.

1305
00:48:49,326 --> 00:48:51,995
That's where Sandy. Works.
Yeah. Episode 140.

1306
00:48:51,995 --> 00:48:54,331
All my podcasts are connecting
this is amazing.

1307
00:48:54,331 --> 00:48:57,668
144 connects with 140 of.

1308
00:48:58,268 --> 00:49:02,506
All right, so now,
she has the Everyone Belongs t shirt.

1309
00:49:02,906 --> 00:49:04,975
That was,

1310
00:49:04,975 --> 00:49:07,044
famous, made famous at Beans and Company.

1311
00:49:07,044 --> 00:49:08,245
All right.

1312
00:49:08,245 --> 00:49:10,480
So now it's great.

1313
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,084
So, as you can see, Sweet Bear
Coffee company.com,

1314
00:49:14,384 --> 00:49:17,321
they have the dark roast for 1350 espresso

1315
00:49:17,321 --> 00:49:21,825
1350 medium roast 1350 light Rosa's more

1316
00:49:22,125 --> 00:49:25,128
so it cause it takes more time to light
roast it.

1317
00:49:25,262 --> 00:49:28,598
It's depending on the variability
of the farms and the farmers.

1318
00:49:28,732 --> 00:49:32,002
But from, you know,
what we're able to get from suppliers.

1319
00:49:32,002 --> 00:49:35,672
But I have not raised my price at all,
despite the cost increase.

1320
00:49:35,672 --> 00:49:38,175
So I hope it's not the.

1321
00:49:38,175 --> 00:49:39,876
The tariffs and.

1322
00:49:39,876 --> 00:49:41,845
And just the all
time high of coffee costs.

1323
00:49:43,113 --> 00:49:45,048
In the fall,
coffee costs are at an all time high.

1324
00:49:45,048 --> 00:49:47,884
And then the 10% tariff,
our costs are up 40%.

1325
00:49:47,884 --> 00:49:50,887
40% cost cost increase.

1326
00:49:51,588 --> 00:49:54,291
I cut you off.

1327
00:49:54,291 --> 00:49:57,294
Were that was there
something you'd like to share?

1328
00:49:57,961 --> 00:49:59,429
I mean, you opened up on the intro.

1329
00:49:59,429 --> 00:50:00,664
I love the story on the back.

1330
00:50:00,664 --> 00:50:02,532
And 2021, your one year old son

1331
00:50:02,532 --> 00:50:05,535
was diagnosed with an incredibly rare
genetic disorder.

1332
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:07,671
Who's challenging next three years?

1333
00:50:07,671 --> 00:50:10,674
I'm going to paraphrase,
but his condition.

1334
00:50:12,442 --> 00:50:12,943
That's funny.

1335
00:50:12,943 --> 00:50:15,579
You were sitting there, you're like,
I got my coffee.

1336
00:50:15,579 --> 00:50:17,114
Got my sweet bear. Yes.

1337
00:50:17,114 --> 00:50:19,516
I could put these two together. Yes.
And here we are.

1338
00:50:19,516 --> 00:50:22,352
Here we are. This is amazing.

1339
00:50:22,352 --> 00:50:23,320
This is great.

1340
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,923
And it's very important to you
that it's Fairtrade certified as organic.

1341
00:50:27,958 --> 00:50:30,060
And the
water process, the carbonation too.

1342
00:50:30,060 --> 00:50:31,028
Yeah, that's another thing.

1343
00:50:31,028 --> 00:50:34,364
They are, they don't waste water,

1344
00:50:34,364 --> 00:50:37,334
you know, they're more resourceful
because they're Fairtrade too.

1345
00:50:37,401 --> 00:50:39,636
I learned that,

1346
00:50:39,636 --> 00:50:41,138
and you're on Instagram. Yes.

1347
00:50:41,138 --> 00:50:43,373
And Facebook. Yes.
And you have the sweet beer.

1348
00:50:43,373 --> 00:50:43,740
Coffee?

1349
00:50:43,740 --> 00:50:46,743
Kokum. Yes.

1350
00:50:47,210 --> 00:50:47,978
Did I miss anything?

1351
00:50:47,978 --> 00:50:49,079
No. It's great.

1352
00:50:49,079 --> 00:50:53,050
We had some recommendations
or review or recommendations.

1353
00:50:53,050 --> 00:50:53,850
Do you have anything else?

1354
00:50:53,850 --> 00:50:57,854
Do you want to recommend TV
shows, restaurant podcasts?

1355
00:50:58,688 --> 00:51:02,025
I don't know, 
what was the Cairo place again?

1356
00:51:02,025 --> 00:51:03,827
Oh, research for wellness.

1357
00:51:03,827 --> 00:51:04,594
You got to go, Nick.

1358
00:51:04,594 --> 00:51:08,865
We got to try restore hyper wellness
right around the corner.

1359
00:51:08,865 --> 00:51:11,902
You're going to a crowd tank. That's like.

1360
00:51:12,135 --> 00:51:12,669
Like a. Room.

1361
00:51:12,669 --> 00:51:15,539
Like you're going into, like a closet.
Kind of like it.

1362
00:51:15,539 --> 00:51:15,939
But it's big.

1363
00:51:15,939 --> 00:51:17,841
You don't feel claustrophobic.

1364
00:51:17,841 --> 00:51:19,843
Okay, get me out of here.

1365
00:51:19,843 --> 00:51:21,945
Can you go with a yes?
You can at a time. So.

1366
00:51:21,945 --> 00:51:23,213
But you can set it.

1367
00:51:23,213 --> 00:51:25,382
I, I do double crisis. Mike.

1368
00:51:25,382 --> 00:51:26,850
Let's get back to back to backs.

1369
00:51:26,850 --> 00:51:27,417
Minutes or.

1370
00:51:27,417 --> 00:51:30,420
So. You go in for three minutes
and 15 seconds.

1371
00:51:30,420 --> 00:51:32,122
You can put up the number of fans.

1372
00:51:32,122 --> 00:51:33,390
So I do max fans.

1373
00:51:33,390 --> 00:51:36,159
And then you can go say
I'm with one person or with five.

1374
00:51:36,159 --> 00:51:38,628
If you say you're with five,
you get colder.

1375
00:51:38,628 --> 00:51:41,631
So I go in, do max settings back to back.

1376
00:51:41,932 --> 00:51:42,766
It feels so good.

1377
00:51:43,967 --> 00:51:45,202
No, we do the cold plunge.

1378
00:51:45,202 --> 00:51:47,104
You could do. It if you do the.
Cold. We're down Friday.

1379
00:51:47,104 --> 00:51:47,904
You get to go together.

1380
00:51:47,904 --> 00:51:50,907
You can commiserate together.

1381
00:51:51,708 --> 00:51:52,943
Yeah. You got to wear hats. Yeah.

1382
00:51:52,943 --> 00:51:55,545
Gloves and socks. Yeah. It's a whole.

1383
00:51:55,545 --> 00:51:58,215
Oh I am going to try I'm
trying to get into retail.

1384
00:51:58,215 --> 00:52:00,016
So TBD.

1385
00:52:00,016 --> 00:52:02,052
Yeah I know I was like
I got to get some swag.

1386
00:52:02,052 --> 00:52:04,788
You know I love to tease.
Yes I have. Stickers.

1387
00:52:04,788 --> 00:52:06,456
Cricket. Yeah. Cricket for. The stickers.

1388
00:52:06,456 --> 00:52:07,858
Refreshing for the tease. Perfect.

1389
00:52:07,858 --> 00:52:08,625
Tell me I sent you.

1390
00:52:08,625 --> 00:52:11,027
Yes I well they'll. Love it.

1391
00:52:11,027 --> 00:52:14,064
But hopefully we'll be selling
sweet beer in stores locally soon.

1392
00:52:15,198 --> 00:52:16,633
Oh. Oh, in stores too.

1393
00:52:16,633 --> 00:52:18,735
I thought you meant, like, more merch.
Oh, yeah.

1394
00:52:18,735 --> 00:52:20,203
Okay. But yet again, retail.

1395
00:52:20,203 --> 00:52:21,471
Where are you connecting with?

1396
00:52:21,471 --> 00:52:22,539
Do you have any exclusives?

1397
00:52:22,539 --> 00:52:24,808
Do you have anybody that's on board yet?

1398
00:52:24,808 --> 00:52:27,177
One who's almost completely signed.

1399
00:52:27,177 --> 00:52:30,480
I applied for Whole Foods
to apply for Trader Joe's, but those are,

1400
00:52:30,514 --> 00:52:32,282
you know,
that takes a while to get back from.

1401
00:52:32,282 --> 00:52:36,620
And then, another restaurant, I'm sorry,
a grocery store.

1402
00:52:37,020 --> 00:52:39,689
Hopefully
I'll be hearing back from them soon.

1403
00:52:39,689 --> 00:52:40,991
So nice.

1404
00:52:40,991 --> 00:52:42,659
All right. Coming to your shelves

1405
00:52:43,627 --> 00:52:45,529
close to you soon.

1406
00:52:45,529 --> 00:52:46,163
And again.

1407
00:52:46,163 --> 00:52:48,798
Most importantly, it's delicious.

1408
00:52:48,798 --> 00:52:52,235
But most importantly,
that 25% goes to companies

1409
00:52:52,235 --> 00:52:55,238
and organizations
that are helping people with disabilities.

1410
00:52:55,272 --> 00:52:56,840
That's truly amazing.

1411
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,842
You are a good friend for doing that.

1412
00:52:58,842 --> 00:53:01,711
Again, our motto is, pick up trash,

1413
00:53:01,711 --> 00:53:04,781
hold the door, give compliments,
and just be thoughtful of others.

1414
00:53:04,781 --> 00:53:06,416
If everyone drove like a friend

1415
00:53:06,416 --> 00:53:09,486
or just was a friend,
the world to be a better place 100%.

1416
00:53:09,486 --> 00:53:12,489
So you're doing great things
and thank you for your support.

1417
00:53:12,756 --> 00:53:16,726
Any closing remarks?

1418
00:53:19,563 --> 00:53:20,630
You want to sing a song?

1419
00:53:20,630 --> 00:53:23,934
I did not thank you for having me
and try sweet beer.

1420
00:53:23,934 --> 00:53:26,803
Coffee. It's amazing.
And it supports wonderful cause.

1421
00:53:26,803 --> 00:53:28,038
Yes. Check it out.

1422
00:53:28,038 --> 00:53:29,940
And on three will say, be a good friend.

1423
00:53:29,940 --> 00:53:32,209
Okay. One, two, three. Be good friends.
