Problem Corner is an iconic radio show that has become a vibrant community hub. Callers engage in a wide array of discussions, ranging from local political debates to community commentary and casual advertisements for listeners looking to buy, sell, or trade personal items.
The show's rich history is marked by its association with several prominent local figures. Notably, Dennis Egan, a former mayor of Juneau, was a key personality in shaping the show's direction in the 1980s.
As a testament to its enduring relevance and appeal, "Problem Corner" has etched its name in the annals of Alaskan broadcasting history. It's not just a radio show but a cultural landmark, celebrated for being the longest-running radio show in Alaska.

Speaker 2:Well, good morning. Good morning. Hello, and welcome to Prom Corner. I'm your host, Wade Bryson, and Prom Corner is a community service of KINY. Purpose of the program is to swap and trade items noncommercially and to discuss issues that affect the community.

We also have emails are available if that is your preferred method air at k I n y radio dot com air@kinyradio.com and you can send your comments over just like that. Alright.
Speaker 2:Give me a call. The show is always more fun with you, participating. Five eight six one eight hundred five eight six one eight hundred. Alright. So this week is Salmon Derby Preparation Week.
Speaker 2:I think this is a Salmon Derby has always been fascinating in Juneau because it just pulls so many corners of the community together. Because regardless of, you know, what you do during the week, everybody can be a fisherman on the weekends. Right? Fisher person, whatever they're calling them these days. So if, like I said, if you're playing on fishing in the derby, are there derby specials, that you know about that you'd like to share with everybody?
Speaker 2:It seems like the town gets a little bit slower because there's so many people, out there, participating in the derby. Whether it be volunteers making the derby happen or I guess the volunteers all fishing to catch their salmon, for scholarships. And, the reason why they do that, the whole purpose behind the Golden North Salmon Derby is scholarship money. It puts kids in school, and I say kids but young adults. And you know, every year you hear about somebody else that was a recipient of the Golden North Salmon Dury scholarships.
Speaker 2:If you are one of the people that received a scholarship, tell us about it. Share with us with everybody how that, made an impact. Did it make you be able to go to like your your dream school or make it possible just to go to school in general? If you've got a story like that, give us a shout. 5861805861800.
Speaker 2:Alright. So we have derby going on and like I was saying, everybody seems no matter what the background is, everybody, is participating in the derby in some level. Even if it's just you're serving more food because more people are busy as they're getting ready for the derby. The one thing that I could think of that is gonna mess with the derby and for Juno's sake, not too significantly I hope, and that is the Glacial Lake Outburst flooding. We're just days away from, the basin being full.
Speaker 2:You can go to the kinyradio.com web page, and they have a whole page of resources including the viewing of what am I trying to spit out here? The the live webcams. You can see how high the water, is in that basin. I think somebody told me before the show it's only like 15 feet, give or take, below, the spillway, the lowest channel that the water could start escaping. Yeah.
Speaker 2:So checking out the KINY webpage, there's a whole list of resources, that you can look at, on the KINY website so that way you can see oh, here's when they're doing sandbags. Here's what the evacuation area is gonna look like. You know, they've been talking about this for the last couple of months and if you haven't been paying attention, there's gonna be some evacuations even though they more than doubled the length of the Hesco Barrier. They did two times longer distance than they had of last than they did last year. So the Hesco Barrier is all the way completely stocked up.
Speaker 2:They've got the emergency procedures in place. Okay. So if we have a tree burst or Hesco burst or tree strike, They're getting that stuff ready, but they're still gonna be required evacuations. So are you prepared for that? And then let me throw this other thing out.
Speaker 2:I because I was concerned that I might be in the flood zone and I'm not. And I thought about this. I've gotta know somebody that is in that flood zone. My wife wouldn't have me wouldn't be too excited, but man, if you are a buddy of mine and you're in the flood zone and we haven't talked about it yet and you need a place to stay, find me. Chinos, the valley, 70% of the population lives in the valley.
Speaker 2:And if you have a friend or you know people in the valley, is that something that would be helpful? If you could reach out to your friends that do live in the flood zone or if you live in the flood zone reach out to a friend. Maybe instead of getting a hotel room, they're able to stay with friends that are not in the flood zone. Juno, I bet would be good about opening it up. So if you are not in the flood zone, maybe reach out to your friend that is and see if that's something you can help with.
Speaker 2:Imagine being able to go on like a not having to carry as much stuff as you thought you could use for the week to go get into the hotel for the time period that the evacuation is in versus an extended stay with one of your friends in the valley where you have access to all their resources kind of thing. I think helping somebody in that level would be, I'm sure greatly appreciated. If you can't do it, understood. There's definitely plenty of volunteer, opportunities, especially as they're doing sandbag events. So if you're not able to help in one way but you wanna help in that way, not a bad idea.
Speaker 2:Alright. Talked to myself long enough. Alright. Give me a call here, 5861805861800. That'll get you on air here with us and you can come share your 2¢ on any of these.
Speaker 2:What preparations are you taking? Let's say that you looked at the evacuation zone and your house was real close to that evacuation zone but not in the evacuation zone. Maybe you're across the street from something or one block off. What are you doing, for preparation? I'm curious to hear from folks.
Speaker 2:Alright. 586-1800. At the very least, give me a shout and let me know that our phones are working. That would probably be a little helpful. Alright.
Speaker 2:586-1800. This person is looking for some free moving boxes and plastic totes. I'll come and pick them up. Shoot a message to 723-9119. 723-9119.
Speaker 2:They're looking for free moving boxes or free plastic totes. Hey. Hey. We got a call. Good morning.
Speaker 2:Welcome to Problem Corner. You're live and on the air.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Good morning.
Speaker 2:Morning.
Speaker 3:I have a problem here.
Speaker 2:Alright.
Speaker 3:I was bringing my boat in from Milton Harbor this morning, and the bearing blew out on the trailer.
Speaker 4:Oh. Yeah.
Speaker 3:So I'm looking for a wheel with the bearings for one side for 18 foot galvanized trailer.
Speaker 2:And bearings. I'm wondering who in town would have a ball bearing set for you. For a gal 18 footer?
Speaker 3:Around this morning and I couldn't find one. That's why I'm on the air. Okay.
Speaker 2:Did you try Willie's Marine is the business that pops into mind that might have a solution for this?
Speaker 3:British Marine. Yep. I know I haven't tried it yet. It's a while though.
Speaker 2:Your phone number? Well, can I get your phone number and I'll tell everybody?
Speaker 3:Alright. (907) 419-9275.
Speaker 2:9275. Alright. Well, good luck, buddy. Do you know what size that wheel is? Is it like a 20 or like a 20
Speaker 3:I didn't even look at it, man. I didn't. It's only for 18 foot land.
Speaker 2:Excellent. Alright. Well, let me try and find you the wheel and bearing for your boat trailer.
Speaker 3:I I somebody that can help to help solve that problem. As you know, the Derby's coming up in a couple days here.
Speaker 2:Oh, I know. You wouldn't be able to get your boat out on the water. That would not be good for your fish
Speaker 3:out land now, so I need to get it into the water.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir. Alright. Well, I tell you what, try out Willy's, and I'll read your phone number. Let's see if we can get you a solution.
Speaker 3:I really appreciate it. You have a good day now.
Speaker 2:You have a good day too, sir. Alright. Gentlemen blew a bearing. No. On those trailers, 18 foot galvanized trailer with one boat on it.
Speaker 2:If you have a solution for that, gentlemen, 419-9275. (907) 419-9275. You can help that guy out. Good morning. Welcome to Problem Corner.
Speaker 2:You're live and on the air.
Speaker 3:Hey. Good morning.
Speaker 2:Morning, sir.
Speaker 3:Yeah. When by the crosswalk.
Speaker 2:Say it again?
Speaker 3:Around the car.
Speaker 2:Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 3:I was standing there by the crosswalk, and there was a guy in the crosswalk. And the car stopped for him, and the car behind him went around him.
Speaker 2:Oh. Well, that doesn't sound like they're a very aware driver.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Daddy stopped there at the crosswalk with the person to go across and the guy went around him.
Speaker 2:Obviously, not seeing the person. They were like, what why is this guy in front of me stopping? And so instead of recognizing that there might be a good reason the other guys went around him. Yep. That's a horrible thing.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 3:Everybody gave him the number one sign and everything. Gotcha.
Speaker 2:Probably recognized the error of his ways. Okay. Hey. Thanks for that, buddy. Alright.
Speaker 2:So it was the phone call's a little broken up and what he was saying was that somebody had stopped in a crosswalk so that a pedestrian could cross. The person behind them, obviously not aware that the person stopped at a crosswalk to let a person cross, they went around them. And, not a good driver, not paying attention. Yes. You if somebody stops at a crosswalk, even if you don't see anybody, might be a good idea for you to stop too.
Speaker 2:Good morning. Welcome to Problem Corner. You're live and on the air.
Speaker 4:Yeah. I'd like to complain about thinking how to reach the housing authority.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry. Say again?
Speaker 4:When you hire the housing authority
Speaker 2:Okay. They
Speaker 4:promised they would they promised they would all fix my killer, and they haven't done it. They're supposed to work on my eating. They didn't do it. They gave me with all kinds of excuses, and the workers, mister Bernard and keep his promises. Now I think they should ask to someone because they're federally funded, and they're not doing their jobs.
Speaker 4:Everyone knows they only help the family and friends. Someone needs to have them accountable for what they do.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir.
Speaker 4:I just like to put that out there in here. And the guy I came to work on place, he broke my computer table. He stole my cell phone, my propane tank, and my tools. I'm not even getting that back because I have to take him to court. They should adjust.
Speaker 4:They should pay me for the damages.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Sometimes, unfortunately, it takes a court decision to make an opposing party, you know, make things right with you.
Speaker 4:I just don't feel that they get away people over their family and friends, and they don't really help the senior sisters and the elders. I've been going there for three years now, and they come up with all kinds of lame excuses not to do their job. I just wanted to air that out. They have to answer to someone.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir. Alright. Well, I hope you feel better getting it off your chest.
Speaker 4:Thank you. Have a good day.
Speaker 2:You have a good day too. Alright. Venting a little frustration. Sometimes it's helpful, sometimes it's not. I got another call.
Speaker 2:Good morning. Welcome to Problem Corner. You're live and on the air.
Speaker 5:Yeah. Good morning, Wade. Morning. I'm pretty sure, Willie's Marine is closed now, and Rocky's Marine has picked
Speaker 6:up
Speaker 5:Yamaha outboards and things.
Speaker 2:Oh. In the Rocky's Marine.
Speaker 5:If they know a little more about their wheel bearing, they might be able to get them at any of the automotive stores too.
Speaker 2:Oh, that is a good idea. Automotive stores would have bearings for cars or trailers. No. That's just
Speaker 5:You would think so. Yeah. But you have to know a little more other than saying it's a a wheel bearing.
Speaker 2:Yes. Having the wheel size, the what the I'm sure that there's multiple kinds of hubs, that and so different bearing sizes. Yes. But if you know where to start looking, that is a good idea.
Speaker 5:Yeah. Well but the other thing I wanted to mention is I think Willie's has been closed for quite a while.
Speaker 2:Oh, is it Rocky's Marine? Is that the name of that place now?
Speaker 5:No. Actually, Rocky's Marine is over on Douglas, and they picked up the Yamaha dealership, and Willie seems to be out of business at their old location.
Speaker 2:Really? Okay. I was not aware. I thought the last time I passed by, it it looked like a shop, but I guess not.
Speaker 5:I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that Willie's out on industrial. He hasn't been there for a while.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir. Alright. Well, thanks for giving me the heads up.
Speaker 5:Sure. Have a good day, Wade.
Speaker 2:Hey. You have a good day too, sir. Thanks for the call. Alright. Try one of the, auto parts stores, and Western Auto carries wheel bearings.
Speaker 2:This person wanted to include. Good morning. Welcome to Problem Corner. You're live and on the air.
Speaker 3:I got good I got good suggestions about these homeless people.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir.
Speaker 3:Only way we can get rid of these homeless people is put them on the island. They'll be out of our out of our way. Otherwise, they're gonna keep coming to town, coming to town. We've gotta get them out of this town, put them on the island.
Speaker 2:Alright. Well, for giving us
Speaker 3:a suggestion. Put my 2¢ in.
Speaker 2:Hey. Thanks for that, sir. Alright. I think he was making a satirical reference to movies made in the, oh, early eighties about putting people on islands. Alright.
Speaker 2:Good morning. Welcome to Problem Corner. You're live and on the air.
Speaker 7:I think that Willy's Marine is is out by the out by the the the ferry terminal. I ride my bike out to Ark Rec, and and I think Willy's Marine is is in a little hut right next to the ferry terminal.

Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 13:Alright. Thank you.

Speaker 2:586-1800. Good morning. Welcome to Problem Corner. You're live and on the air.

Speaker 14:They're in need of some soda pop, some plates, some napkins, and maybe some plasticware. If anybody can help, the number to call is 713-4444. And, again, the celebration of life for Karen will be this evening tonight at the Klingit and Haida community council building by the Bingo Hall or at the Bingo Hall.

Speaker 2:Good morning. Welcome to Problem Corner. You're live and on the air.
Speaker 6:Hey, Wade. One one glitch on this show is when it's ringing, I get the answering system, and they thank me for calling and to leave a message when I'm trying to call you.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir. We haven't gotten that switched. It used to be where you it would ring indefinitely until I got to you, and they just haven't set it up yet.
Speaker 6:Oh, okay.
Speaker 3:Well,
Speaker 6:that echo again. I'm gonna agree with that lady that just called and had an objection to the the way to treat a person. There's many reasons why someone becomes homeless.
Speaker 15:It could be it could
Speaker 6:be anything, the human psyche. It could be a traumatic event, and a combat vets needs help and so on and so forth. But to to take an individual and put them on an island out of the care of the caretakers, like, maybe they need medical care, but they're on an island. So we have that problem already with ICE and the president's private police. We we don't need mean calls like that.
Speaker 6:That's I'm horny today, Wade. That's my 2¢.
Speaker 2:Alright. Well, Mel, thanks for giving me a shout and airing that out. I'm gonna take that ABC Newsbreak real quick. I'll be right back with more Problem Corner on KINY.
Speaker 1:This is KINY Juno.
Speaker 16:ABC News. I'm Michelle Franzen. Acting attorney general Todd Blanche, is waiting for a full senate vote on his nomination to become permanent AG, weighed in on the president's criticism over a US attorney Jeanine Pirro after she dropped vandalism charges related to the torn reflecting pole liner at the Lincoln Memorial. Blanche did not address the specific case but defended Piro's jobs in the nation's capital.
Speaker 17:Judge Piro is doing a is doing a a great job, and and our city, Washington DC, is a lot safer in no small part to to her effort and the prosecutor's efforts that she works with.
Speaker 16:President Trump says a deal to reopen the Strait Of Hormuz is closed without offering details if The US and Iran are holding talks. Iranian officials say they're in talks with Oman on a joint agreement on controlling ship traffic. Russia carried out missile and drone attacks in Ukraine's capital, killing at least 17 in Kyiv. Ukraine's president Zelenskyy now calling for allies to help against Russia's aggression. This is ABC News.

Speaker 18:Yes. We're earning unlimited 3% cash back on dining and entertainment with a Capital One savor card. So let's just get one of everything.
Speaker 19:Everything? Fire everything. The Capital One savor card is at Table 27, and they're earning unlimited 3% cash back.

Speaker 18:Oh, tiramisu.
Speaker 19:Earn unlimited 3% cash back on dining and entertainment with the Capital One savor card. Capital One, what's in your
Speaker 12:Terms apply. See capital1.com for details.
Speaker 20:Progressive presents the museum of you. We begin our tour with a unique piece, a relic from the early big screen television era. Remarkable. Next, we find a juicer, which historians believe has only ever been used once. And finally, compact disc from the emo era.
Speaker 20:A rare find indeed. Something should be history,
Speaker 21:but until then, you could protect what's important to you and safe by bundling your auto insurance with a renter's policy from Progressive. Progressive casualty insurance company affiliates and other insurers not available in all states situations.
Speaker 9:Juno weather.
Speaker 22:A quiet start to the morning for us becoming partly sunny today. We should reach 64 for the high and a very light westerly wind. High pressure will lead to a partly cloudy sky tonight, our low 52, then mostly sunny and a bit warmer on Thursday with a high 66. Looks like dry weather continues throughout the remainder of the week. Friday's high in the mid to upper sixties.
Speaker 22:Our next weather update is in less than thirty minutes. This is Juneau Media Center, meteorologist, Dan Holiday.
Speaker 9:Weather brought to you by Rockies Marine.
Speaker 23:Dan Sullivan by the numbers. Twelve years in Washington DC, where he made almost 100 stock trades for himself. While Alaskans were paying higher and higher health care costs, Sullivan bought and sold stocks in pharmaceutical companies, making trades worth millions of dollars, doing better than most other investors, even growing his own stock portfolio by 50%. In the end, Sullivan tripled the size of his fortune, and we paid more for doctor visits and prescription drugs. We're stuck with soaring prices and he's worth up to $14,000,000.
Speaker 23:And once he made that fortune, Sullivan tried to cover it up, breaking congress's insider trading law and hiding his trades for months. All those numbers sure work out for Dan Sullivan, but they definitely don't work out for Alaska.
Speaker 16:I'm Mary Paltola, and I approve this message.
Speaker 23:Paid for by Alaskans for Mary.
Speaker 24:Hi. Yeah. I'm Emil Mackie. I'm the country financial insurance agent here in Juneau, Alaska. Yeah.
Speaker 24:We offer all kinds of services, home, auto, life, boat. I can broker all kinds of business insurance. I even have a couple airplanes that that we insure around the state. I think it's important for insurance purposes to have a local agent because we have a claim. You need somebody local you can talk to.
Speaker 24:Otherwise, you're talking often time to a to a claims agent that's outside the state. They're not here to serve you. Your agent is. And having a local agent that can help you through the claims process can really help you with a lot of heartache avoidance later. Also, you know, we give to our local community.
Speaker 24:I help coach football. I give to the football and basketball and and wrestling clubs and the swim club. And having a local agent helps you. It helps the community, and it really helps you maximize what you're getting back from your insurance company. So, yeah, look local first.
Speaker 25:I'm Bill Walker, lifelong Alaskan and candidate for governor. Alaska faces one of its biggest challenges in state history. Alaska is running out of natural gas, and Alaskans could face dramatically higher energy costs within just a few years. The good news is that Alaska's gas line project is moving forward today. We need experienced leadership to bring the gas line to completion.
Speaker 25:As governor, working with the Trump and Obama administration, I help build the relationships and secure the agreements to put Alaska's gas line on the global stage. I understand the projects, the markets, the challenges, and the opportunities. That's why I've teamed up with former revenue commissioner Randy Hoffbeck, an expert on some of the most difficult financial pieces of the project. Together, we have the experience to lead Alaska through this critical period. This election is about solutions, not slogan.
Speaker 25:We don't need to start over. We we just need to finish the job. I'm Bill Walker. If you believe Alaska needs experienced leadership to secure our energy future, I'd be honored to earn your vote.
Speaker 26:Paid for by Walker Hofbeck for Alaska. PO Box 90153. Anchorage, Alaska 99509.

So, strongly recommend if you have a girls to the a girl scout with any other adult female mentors, sign up for the twenty twenty six She and Me retreat at Echo Ranch. You will not regret it. It's just awesome.
Speaker 2:Alright. 5861805861800. Come and join me while we got the last ten minutes of the show here. This person has a comment. They would really appreciate if everyone slowed down just a little bit on residential streets.
Speaker 2:And we know what she's talking about. Somebody's passing by your neighborhood house or walking in Valley neighborhood and somebody for some reason thinks they need to go 30 miles an hour. Which 30 miles an hour isn't terribly fast but when you're in a neighborhood and there's kids playing on the street sides of the street in the yards, there's animals running around, there's people on walks. That's is a little too fast for residential streets. I believe residential speed limit is 20 miles an hour.
Speaker 2:If you know better information than that, could you please let me know what the official residential speed is or for residential streets? I thought it was 20. Yeah. And there isn't anything more frustrating than if they, people are not abiding by that 20 mile an hour. The part that always trips me out is that when someone will go like 10 miles an hour and then not stop at the stop sign.
Speaker 2:Or, you know, some of those odds behavior, they'll obey one rule but then not obey another rule in it. And I don't want to get on too deep into some of that stuff. Give me a call here, 586180586. Whose happy birthday message? I'm looking.
Speaker 2:Happy birthday to Valerie Ringel. I was getting to text. I had not seen this one yet. But if you're wishing happy birthday to Valerie Ringel, now is a great time. Valerie, happy birthday.
Speaker 2:Hopefully, you're having a good one. Alright. Let's go to this one. Good morning. Welcome to Problem Corner.

Speaker 15:Yesterday, there was a lady who called looking for boxes, and I got quite a few from Home Depot. And she left her phone number for testing, but I don't know how to do that kind of stuff. I would like to give my phone number, and maybe she can call me and she can come in and get those boxes.
Speaker 2:Sure. What's your phone number if somebody was if that lady's looking for boxes?
Speaker 15:Yeah. (907) 957-0349.
Speaker 2:3349?
Speaker 15:No. 0349.
Speaker 2:0349. Yes. Alright. Let me get her in touch with you.
Speaker 15:Okay. Thank you, Wayne.
Speaker 7:Wayne. Okay.
Speaker 4:Bye bye.

Speaker 2:(907) 957-0349. 957-0349. And that lady can help you with moving boxes. Alright. 586-1800.
Speaker 2:At the beginning of the show, I was talking about derby and we are gonna roll up onto the Derby weekend with a full basin, ready to do a glacier lake outburst flooding event. Right? We're trying to have the salmon derby. Mother nature's not cooperating. Imagine that.
Speaker 2:The one thing that so I already let you know, you can go to the kinyradio.com website and that will have pretty up to the minute news announcements, especially once the emergency begins. They're gonna have folks on capital chat, the pros that are keeping an eye on this, talking about everything tomorrow on the capital chat. So great one to listen into. Eventually, we are gonna get one of those emergency announcements on our cell phone. And so you'll get that it's gonna make your your cell phone make noise even though you tell your phone not to make noise, and it will give you an emergency alert.
Speaker 2:I think the first one's gonna be a test. I think that was what somebody had mentioned. And then, they're gonna give us real time information. That real time information can be found on the kinyradio.com website. So that way you can have up to the minute announcements.
Speaker 2:You can also Google USGS suicide basin and it will take you right to that. That was the Google phrase that I typed on my phone earlier. So I was wanting to take a look at the real time, cameras that they have. And, again, they do have a real time camera at the kinyradio.com website. And so you can see the basin in its, real time and I heard this is about 15 feet below one of the drainage channels.
Speaker 2:So something will be starting soon. But the best part about this, this natural disaster is that it's they understand it a little bit more. They've got tons of monitoring equipment. They have every level of government involved in it. And so, we could not have more eyes on our glacial outburst flooding event that is coming.
Speaker 2:And I wanna give a shout out to the flood advocacy citizens group. And I don't think I got their name quite right, but Debbie and Gang have done a phenomenal job. Not only have they had to deal with the consequences of living in that flood zone and being impacted by that. But then every year they get to go through the traumatic experience of like an active emergency and then it gets built up. Debbie has helped me see how the ongoing experience has just taken its toll on everyone involved.
Speaker 2:The human mind is not supposed to live in emergency mode, adrenaline mode for long periods of time. And, unfortunately, that's kind of what has happened here. And it took a little while talking with Debbie but it was just one of the conversations, it clicked and I understood that her frustration was not with the city or any governmental actions but her her emotions were coming through the experience of having to live through that. Your home which is supposed to be your sanctuary is now not safe. And I remember a couple of time periods when I was in adrenaline adrenalized for months at a time and the negative consequences, psychological toll that hits you is just really really tough.
Speaker 2:And so, I just want everybody to know that I'm thinking about you and I'm trying to show the appropriate level of sympathy and empathy. These folks are going through something really traumatic. And if you think you've ever been told you can't go into your house, man, that's just not a good day. And most of us will go through our whole lives never being told that. And so we're running into that.
Speaker 2:I have one call. I'm gonna let you be real quick. You are the last call in Prom Corner. You got about thirty six thirty seconds. Go ahead.
Speaker 3:Yeah. How are doing? I'm looking for a set of tires. The set the size is three fifteen seventy five or 16. I'll take a pair or a set if somebody has those, or a set of two thirty five eighty five or sixteens.
Speaker 2:And your phone number, sir?
Speaker 3:Of those will work. The number for that is 501-1471.
Speaker 2:1471. Alright. Let me sell your tire or he's looking for tires. He needs 16 inch tires. Give him a shout.
Speaker 2:501-1471. If you have 16 inch tires, 501-1471. Hey. That's gonna do it for the show today. I wanna thank you for calling in, tuning in, and hanging out with us.
Speaker 2:And remember, on Problem Corner, there are no such thing as problems, just solutions we've yet to discover. Have a great rest of the day. I'm Wade. I'm out
Speaker 27:of here.
