Speaker 3:so far. I've got I've got an awesome person was able to text and they were like, what's the real story behind the phones not being installed?
Speaker 4:They got us. They called us out, Lance. It is a conspiracy against this guy. We were waiting for somebody to call us out and so now that people know that we were just messing with them, I think they'll turn the phones on.
Speaker 3:I think I think the phones may be turned on very shortly.
Speaker 4:Alright. Conspiracy or could the logistics and the operations and the technical needs to get a a new radio station set up might have delayed details like connecting the phone lines into the on air system. It could be it's one or two of those. It's it's one or the other. It's either conspiracy or just the need of technical support.
Speaker 4:I don't know. You can take your pick.
Speaker 3:Yes. I think it's the need of technical support.
Speaker 4:You need to talk into the mic though. Remember you're on you're a DJ now.
Speaker 3:It's I think it's a need for a technical issues there. I think that's what's up.
Speaker 4:Well, there you go. Well, they're working on it. So I'm certain that the moment that we have phones, that Problem Corner is gonna be the best way that we let folks know that the phones are working again.

Speaker 4:And so 586-1800 send us a text. Then Lance, if you check out the text screen, you can go back and
Speaker 3:I'm on it right now. We got a text. They're talking about the new movie theater. They're so excited. The twentieth Century Movie Theater is going to be opening on July 10.
Speaker 3:They've been working hard and they've been doing remodels. They're just doing everything talked with the ladies and they're doing refresher stuff and they're gonna be opening a movie theater downtown, and they're very excited about that. Oh, excellent. Hey, it is gonna be so nice to have life breathed in to that twenty first century apartment and movie theater.
Speaker 4:Mhmm. I went into it.
Speaker 3:You did? Oh, man.
Speaker 4:Back in the February. It's been a very, very long time. And I know that at least two other organizations had taken a run at that building to try and get it rebuilt or renovated so that way people could live in it again. And I'm glad that this group found a way forward because previous groups ran into math equations that didn't work, and if the math equation doesn't work, then you can't do the project. And this group found a way to make it work, and so I applaud them.
Speaker 4:And to have that type of building with the entertainment and the shopping below and the apartments and the penthouse apartment above it, just a a great way to reinvigorate your downtown community. Yeah.
Speaker 3:I'm they they're talking about having events there.
Speaker 4:All types things. So the really neat story about going into that, and I don't think Kenny's in town anymore, so I don't think you'll upset for me sharing this with you. You'd go into one of those apartments because there's 26 apartments above that movie theaters. It's up there. And so I went into one apartment, and it was a time capsule snapshot of, like, 1979, like that that olive drab, that that pea green refrigerator, that that that yellow and everybody knows the seventies yellow.
Speaker 4:Like the countertops had that seventies yellow shag carpet. There were still dishes in the dish drying rack. I mean, it had looked like somebody walked out of the apartment sometime in the late seventies, locked the door, and it was just this time capsule apartment. Really neat looking. But then they took me into another one of the apartments and he had 47 toilets in that I don't know.
Speaker 4:They've taken all the toilets out and put them into this one apartment. And so the entire apartment was 27 or 47 toilets. This is a pretty interesting
Speaker 3:The look as only thing I remember, I remember going up there a couple of times, but it was the elevator. The elevator freaked me out, Wade.
Speaker 4:The elevator is the size of a Coffin. Well, was gonna say, that's a good description. I was gonna say more like a phone booth. That's a good description. Maybe an oversized phone booth.
Speaker 4:It's like three by three by three is no. Three by three, and I think it's six feet tall. It is not a very large box. No. And so and it it yes.
Speaker 4:It was way better to take the stairs if you had to go visit anybody at Gross Alaska. And so yeah. That I'm just really happy that a group has come back to town because if in the future we have 26 apartments available in the downtown corridor and a live theater below it, that's just an awesome addition to our
Speaker 3:downtown community. It'll be great. And then there'll be another place bringing stuff in.
Speaker 4:That's right.
Speaker 3:For the community.
Speaker 4:Well, yay for that. Alright. Very happy. If you've got 2¢ on that, what are some other things that could come back to downtown to reinvigorate it? Where are some other places where we could put apartments?
Speaker 4:That was one of the largest things that had happened to downtown is lost housing wasn't being replaced. And so you have a 180 units go missing your downtown neighborhoods. Yes. That's a lot of vacancies or a lot of absent homes, or they're not even there anymore, some of them. And so to have this area be come back to life is just gonna be great for our community.
Speaker 3:I do have one question. You will probably know this, Wade.
Speaker 4:I hope.
Speaker 3:A hotel that I heard was being rumored. I forgot what it was called. I never went there, but it was a hotel that was a part of Juno's history and has been there for years.
Speaker 4:Are you talking about the Bergman?
Speaker 3:The Bergman. Yes.
Speaker 4:Yeah. Used to have a Mike's Place was the what I call was it an Irish pub restaurant that was below it?
Speaker 3:Not Something like that? Not by the time I went there. It was just a bar.
Speaker 4:It's just a bar. At one point, it was like one of the best little restaurants in Juneau, but yes. So the Bergmann became the weekly rate motel back in the early twenty teens, and so then it became Something Yeah. People stayed there that that didn't have other housing options. I think that's the most polite way to say it.
Speaker 4:That super polite way
Speaker 3:to that. Nicer than what I
Speaker 4:was about to That's why I said it the way I did. So for folks that didn't have other housing options that could be multiple people to a room, you didn't have to have a room that had its own bathroom kind of thing, but the Bergmann did not keep up on its maintenance.
Speaker 3:No. They did not.
Speaker 4:And so at one point, even though it was the only housing option for some of the most vulnerable of the community, the city did condemn it. I wanna say in 2016.
Speaker 3:I think you're accurate.
Speaker 4:And that put like 60 to 80 people who could afford no other place on the street, and that was the beginning of the homeless crisis that we've had here. And I have heard a rumor that the Bergman has had some investment into it and is trying to be renovated and reopened. But I have not had any confirmation nor have I gone by there.
Speaker 3:And neither have I.
Speaker 4:I know when it was empty, it was supposed to be empty.
Speaker 3:But it wasn't empty.
Speaker 4:It wasn't empty. And one time I looked up there and it was like a I don't wanna say a faded picture of a little girl, but I looked up there and it looked like a faded picture of a little girl just kinda looking out one of the windows. And then when we looked back, that Pick N Field faded out picture wasn't there anymore, and then I decided I didn't wanna look at the Berkman Building anymore after I
Speaker 3:only I went when I first came to town, I met an awesome photographer. Her name was Patricia. Okay. She used to work in the bar. Okay.
Speaker 3:So she was like, come see me. And so I would go I would go by and see her, she was awesome. That's the only reason that
Speaker 4:I had to go to
Speaker 3:the Bergmann. Once she went away, I did not go to the Bergmann, Well, you
Speaker 4:hopefully in this environment, hotels or more housing opening up, multifamily housing especially, would be a very welcome addition to our housing stock.
Speaker 3:I have faith. I know that it's gonna work itself out.
Speaker 4:I certainly hope it does. And yeah, all I remember is looking up there and I'm like, I know I didn't just see a little girl in that window. I know I didn't. I'm not looking back. You pretty sure you totally did.
Speaker 4:Alright. So people are tired of us talking, Lance. Let's have them text us. Alright. (907) 586-1800.
Speaker 4:Do we have any new text?
Speaker 3:I do. I have a text. The grub steak was in the burger.
Speaker 4:The grub steak, that's what it was. Yes, tell them I said thank you.
Speaker 3:Thank you. Thank you very much. And Mike's place was in Douglas. They were two different
Speaker 4:restaurants. Correcting me.
Speaker 3:Thank you for telling us.
Speaker 4:Mike's place had the basement there. That's why I remember having a couple of, like, catered celebrations down in the basement of what is now the Island Pub. So, yeah, thank you for that correction. Thank The you grub steak. I forgot it.
Speaker 3:Grub steak. I got oh, I have a I have a joke. Somebody sent in a joke. Alright. Are you ready?

And, Lance, you know what I've discovered? What?
Speaker 4:That that made me an incredibly stressed out, overstressed, just workaholic, overworked workaholic.
Speaker 3:It was true.
Speaker 4:Man. And I'm just not that guy anymore. I don't have the like, I've been following what the assembly's been going through. I've been Uh-huh. I haven't listened to any of the meetings.

Speaker 4:1277. Alright. Now you know what I like about a f two fifty? It's that you can put a three quarters of a ton in there so you can get that extra stuff. You get the one fifty or the 20 or the 1,500 level.
Speaker 4:And you you think you're like,
Speaker 3:I got a truck, but I
Speaker 4:can't really put anything too heavy in the back. And you get a two fifty or 2,500, then all of a sudden you're like, nah. Go ahead and put that pallet in the back. It'll be alright.
Speaker 3:That it's it's it's a good I'm not a truck guy.
Speaker 4:Alright. But If you need to put a pallet of bricks in the back of your truck though, then all a sudden you become a truck guy, you'll be like, alright. I'm thank god I got the extra the extra zero or the extra digit in there, I guess would be the way to put it. Got a two instead of one.
Speaker 3:Man, it's it's you have trucks.
Speaker 4:I have truck. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah. I've I've seen it. It's a nice truck. It's a very keep hitting
Speaker 4:stuff with it because I plow with it.
Speaker 3:Don't do that to that truck.
Speaker 4:Oh, way too late. Way too late.
Speaker 3:Get you a a beater and plow with that. Don't plow with that car.
Speaker 4:That's what I turned my truck into. It's had a really nice beater with a plow on it. There you
Speaker 3:That's a beautiful truck. I really like that truck.
Speaker 4:Alright. 5861800. Come and join in the conversation even though we gotta read your text. That's alright. Come in.
Speaker 4:What do you think about a 2,500 or a two fifty? Have you been did you upgrade from a 1,500 or one fifty to the 2,500 or two fifty level? And did it make your life easier for working? Send us a text or an email, 586-1800 or kair@kinyradio. Lance, any what you got on the text?
Speaker 3:We we have it's a it's a little bit of sad news.
Speaker 4:Oh, no.
Speaker 3:But there is a memorial service for Patrick Walker on Monday, June 8 at 6PM at the Salvation Army Church on Willoughby. For Pat Walker? Yeah. All are welcome to come. They'll have refreshments.
Speaker 3:You're welcome to bring a dish. The Walker family thanks you for your message and for your calls and your support. There will also be be be be memorial, burial, and angoon. And they'll announce more on those dates after the ferry updates to schedule.
Speaker 4:And then what was the Juneau Memorial time period and day again?
Speaker 3:It's June 8, 6PM at the Salvation Army Church on Willoughby Avenue.
Speaker 4:So that's tonight at six, Salvation Army Church.
Speaker 3:Yes, sir. Alright. Now Lance,
Speaker 4:I heard you premise that with that as sad, and you're not wrong. Passing one of our loved ones, definitely sad. But I've always appreciated how on Problem Corner, we were getting that message out. We were communicating condolences. We were giving messages so that other people could attend the service.
Speaker 4:And so well, you're you're not wrong. That that is sad information that our part that we get to play in it is that we get to tell more people. We get to help bring More
Speaker 3:people to
Speaker 4:more people to their for that closure.
Speaker 3:So Yes. That's That's what it's about.
Speaker 4:Helping them out, now you go. The people.
Speaker 3:Oh, you very much. Someone said, I have to say you guys are doing a great job without accepting the phone calls. They love the conversation and love the show. And we love you too. Their heartfelt condolences to the Walker family, and that's basically what they have to say.
Speaker 4:Right on. See, and that's exactly I'm glad they followed up after I was mentioning that. It's we're not just announcing the service or the passing. We're trying to hopefully connect the community in a time like that. So whenever you do those announcements moving forward, Lance, think of that.
Speaker 4:That's what you're trying to accomplish for the family. He'll he'll bring some more folks to him.
Speaker 3:Yes. Yes. There you go. And they also had another statement. They said they remember their other question.
Speaker 3:They were talking about the Problem Corner song or the music that used to end the show. Yes. Are we gonna be able to play that one?
Speaker 4:Alright. So when we get done, I'll go ask Cliff and see if we can get that three music three minute music out. The premise was that they didn't think people wanted to listen to a three minute bed of music because in natural radio, people don't wanna listen to just some random three minute credit music. But Problem Corner theme music, because what the show means to people, man, listening to Problem Corner theme music is is is emotionally healing is like listening to the Rocky theme music or, or the Karate Kid theme music. I mean, you you listen to that Problem Corner theme music, you're like, alright.
Speaker 4:I can go about my day now. And so, yes, Cliff, can we get a three minute back? We'll see. We'll ask. And then that would be a great way because they do read Prom Corner emails.
Speaker 4:So if you're wanting to get that Prom Corner three minute music bed back, send an email saying, yes. We want the Prom Corner theme
Speaker 3:music three
Speaker 4:minutes back.
Speaker 3:Let us know what you want.
Speaker 4:That's right. We'll see if we can get you those three minutes.
Speaker 3:And we do have an update on the F two fifty. States that it's 70,000 or 77,000. And that is 209-2353, if you're interested in that.
Speaker 4:2353. Okay. 209-2353. Send him a text for that f two fifty. Mhmm.
Speaker 4:And there you go. You can get the pallet of bricks that you're waiting on. Hey. So you joke a little bit. I'm gonna tell you a little bit of math about the back of a pickup truck.
Speaker 4:Okay. So most pickup trucks don't have that eight eight foot bed anymore. They all have about a six foot bed that's a little bit shorter. Mhmm. You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4:Right? Pretty common, pretty typical. So if you take a six foot bed and it's gonna be four feet wide, probably plus a little bit more, and then they're about two feet deep, maybe a little less. If you try to add dirt to that, even in my 2400, I was gonna get just a pickup truck full of dirt. Dirt weighs more than the capacity of that truck.
Speaker 4:So if you have a f one fifty with a little six foot bed or a Dodge Ram 1,500 with a six foot bed, if you put more than a foot, and even that might be too big, you could exceed the weight capacity of your truck bed because of the weight of dirt or the weight of rocks. I was trying to get a pickup truck full of dirt and it turns out the math only let me get about half full and then I would have exceeded the weight capacity.
Speaker 3:I get that. And I also remember now that you mentioned that, I remember seeing a car, it was a truck, and the front part was crooked. And it was because they had loaded a bunch of dirt into it and it snapped the the bed of the truck. Oh, yeah. So the the truck was driving around like a u shape.
Speaker 3:I remember laughing at that. That was quite humorous to me.
Speaker 4:Yeah. So you do have a weight capacity in the and that's why I was kinda pitching for that guy's two fifty, is that by getting the two fifty, you get that extra capacity. So instead of just being able to max out at like eight or 900 pounds, the f two fifty is gonna serve you better.
Speaker 3:Yes. It's a it's a really nice truck, but I am not loading no dirt.
Speaker 4:And you you don't need to get three tons of dirt or a half a ton of dirt or whatever it was math that I was adding up to?
Speaker 3:And and trucks to me equate having to help people move, and I don't wanna don't wanna help people move no more. I've I've helped as many people as I'm gonna help move.
Speaker 4:Alright. You've reached your capacity. Reached my capacity. Alright. Well, hey.
Speaker 4:586-1800. Send us a text, especially you got 2¢ to include in the truck conversation. Ayr@kinydradio.com..com. Thank you for finishing that for me, Lance. Alright.
Speaker 4:Any new messages? Yes.
Speaker 3:We do. They we have a have a vote. We have one vote. And their vote would be not to hear the three minute Problem Corner Music Vote.
Speaker 4:Hey. Thank you. We needed that's a that's a vote. Your opinion counts too. That's perfect.
Speaker 4:I knew for every person that wanted to hear it, there'd be a person that didn't want to
Speaker 3:They're fit? I'm not fit. It's just it's because there could be two or three phone calls or one these days
Speaker 4:Oh, that's right.
Speaker 3:Since people belong are being so winded that they would just like to hear it once in a while, if that makes sense.
Speaker 4:Alright. I hey. I think that's a good plan. We figured out how to play the Problem Corner theme music. Is it just, like, put it in the radio rotation so it plays on, like, regular radio music plays?
Speaker 3:You remember when I asked you if you would let me make a theme song for Problem Corner, you just looked at me crazy.
Speaker 4:Probably couldn't think of the appropriate comment for the moment, Lance. I tried real hard. What are gonna do? Alright. Any new stuff?
Speaker 4:586-1800. Send us that text.
Speaker 3:Send us it to your Texas. Let us know what's going on so we can get it out there to the public.
Speaker 4:We got just a little bit of time left in the show. Anything in there?
Speaker 3:No. No? But I will well, we can head back to the The Vizio is a 20 Oh yeah, four stuff
Speaker 4:to sale. Yeah.
Speaker 3:24 inches Vizio flat screen TV with remote. That's good with remote, $30. The dog kennel, $50. Cat kennel, $10. Roll top desk, $150.
Speaker 3:Smallest computer desk and chair, $30. Twin bed frame, headboard, box spring, and mattress, $50 dollars. That's a good that's a good deal. 789-2751 at Karen.
Speaker 4:Oh, yeah. And so that reminded me of garage sales, and Problem Corner has always been a great avenue of letting people know when your garage sale was or where your garage sale is gonna be located. And so if you are starting the work of doing a garage sale because you have to do the work a little bit beforehand. Right? You can't just, like, decide Friday night you're doing a garage sale the next morning.
Speaker 3:I don't know because, you know, people get up early in the morning on Saturdays and drive around looking for garage sales. You know? So I don't I'm not sure that that will be a deterrent. You know? People are looking for themselves in the morning time.
Speaker 4:Okay. Well, you know what I'm saying. What I was recommending is that folks get their announcement to Problem Corner so that way we can tell everybody exactly where your garage sale is located and at least a couple of your most awesome garage sale items. That it just gets people to your garage sale. The whole point of having a garage sale is to clear out your garage, make a couple of bucks.
Speaker 4:Telling people about it on Problem Corner is a great way to increase those stats. Yes. Hopefully, that'll help.
Speaker 3:Yes. I did. I got one. I got a huge yard sale, 8452 Mendenhall Loop Road every Saturday, seven to noon. Alright.
Speaker 3:And tell me the address again. 8452 Mendenhall Loop Road every Saturday, seven to two.
Speaker 4:Alright. And a great thing to announce or to include when you're sending in a a garage sale announcement to Prom Corner, I ask for this all the time. Send us a major cross street. If we could tell people where on Mendenhall Loop you're located, it's just gonna put more people bring more people to your garage sale. So, say in a major cross street, it's it's just helpful for your garage sale.
Speaker 3:Mhmm.
Speaker 4:And then, Lance, for your benefit, the other garage sale rule that I have is on garage sale signs Yes. That you only need to have the address, you know, 4500 Birch Lane or whatever it is, and an arrow. A address on a cardboard sign with an arrow is the universal symbol for garage sale. And it's important that you have the the address as large as you can because when you're writing the sign, you're just above it on a table. Right?
Speaker 4:But when people are driving down the road from anywhere from 25 to 45 miles an hour, they only really need to see the address and the direction. And so nice, big, write the address in like six inch, eight inch letters, and your address, and it does not matter. You don't have to put that you have toys. That's not gonna be
Speaker 7:a helpful
Speaker 4:detail. And then writing the word garage sale bigger than the address, again
Speaker 3:That's that's
Speaker 4:The not only thing you're doing is making it harder to get to your garage sale because then they're driving and they can't see your address. So don't write anything else on your sign. Mhmm. Just the address, just the arrow, and that's what will put the most people into your garage sale. Anything else would just confuse them.
Speaker 3:Now you should listen to Wade. He he's telling you how to get some money.
Speaker 4:That sometimes I'm
Speaker 3:Wade knows about making money. Yes, sir.
Speaker 4:They don't like talking about that out here on Problem Corner, Lance.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Okay. He Wade is poor.
Speaker 4:Alright. 5861805861800 or air at KINY Radio. We've got less than five minutes in the show. Get to us right now. What you got, Lance?
Speaker 3:I got some texts. I got one that says limit calls to twenty seconds and theme song to seven seconds. And then then I have one that says, suggest and say person's name at the end of the interview for capital chat. Yeah. I never do that.
Speaker 3:And it's important to recognize these people and their importance to the community.
Speaker 4:Oh, yeah. Because you get the quick intro at at the beginning of the Capital Chat show, but then if somebody's joining later or they were sitting in their car and they didn't hear the very first part, if you don't know who the person is, you wouldn't be able recognize them by voice. So that is a great suggestion that I'll make to our Capital Chat host to make sure they outro with introductions again. I think that's a wonderful suggestion.
Speaker 3:Thank you for your suggestion.
Speaker 4:Alright. Seven seconds might be a little short and twenty seconds for a phone call. Maybe just a tad bit short. I'll tell you what the rule is, Lance, and this will be helpful as we're training you ahead of Host Problem Corner.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 4:If they repeat themselves, I usually let people talk until they say the same sentence the second time. Uh-huh. And that's when we start to work on getting them off air. So if you have something to say and you're saying like something Then we got You can keep going. Mhmm.
Speaker 4:Just don't say the same sentence twice and then all then that's when we know that it may be time to start coming off air.
Speaker 3:Yes. Yes. Find that limit. I also have another text. Happy anniversary.
Speaker 3:Bob Germain from his wife of thirty nine years.
Speaker 4:Wow, happy anniversary. Happy anniversary to the Germains. Thirty nine years is a long time.
Speaker 3:That's a long time, that's a prison. I didn't mean to say that. I'm sorry. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 4:For the record, Lance is not married. He doesn't know that that's something he can't say. You don't compare anniversaries to prison sentences no matter how similar they may be, Lance. You just can't say that, buddy.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry. I'm just joking. I I really wish you guys all the best.
Speaker 4:Alright. That was kinda funny, though. You just
Speaker 3:I try and make people laugh.
Speaker 4:There's some people that didn't like that.
Speaker 3:That's so funny.
Speaker 4:My twenty three years. No. Sent you to twenty three and a half more years. Alright.
Speaker 3:And then I do have another text. It says, this is the record guy. Is that
Speaker 5:the record guy used
Speaker 4:to he was giving away records for a long time. He was selling records for a long time. We haven't talked about records with him, but if your nickname sticks, he's the record guy. Okay.
Speaker 3:He says it does not have to be a full three minute. I love it. And then I got another text. So this And let me
Speaker 4:guess, they want the whole three minutes. He he said I'm gonna
Speaker 3:read the text. So I text this funny joke last week, but in case anybody missed it, I need it like sirens and alarms, like smoke alarms, but not to say fire fire. I need them to say problem corner, problem corner with flashing lights, so I don't miss the beginning of the show. That was my funny joke last week. But in case
Speaker 4:anyone missed it, you got it again. A Problem Corner Alarm Bell. I love it. So you never miss Problem Corner. Alright.
Speaker 4:Now we gotta figure out how to get that made, Lance. It's our new product.
Speaker 3:Okay. We're gonna do that. And then I have theme song. Change things that are bad, not epic, not nostalgic.
Speaker 4:Exactly right? It doesn't need to be changed.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, I guess sometimes you just leave things alone and, you know, let them go through their course.
Speaker 4:Lance and I just both both saw the guy with the hat.
Speaker 3:Yes. Yes. We did.
Speaker 4:So if the if the conspiracy theorists are correct, we might have phones when the man with the hat leaves.
Speaker 3:When the man with the hat leaves and the sunglasses and the trench coat.
Speaker 4:I don't know. Where's the guy with the trench coat? Oh, there
Speaker 3:he is. Oh, there he is.
Speaker 5:Oh, man.
Speaker 3:He just poked his head in. And so if you don't see me or hear from me anytime soon, then, you know, the conspiracy is real.
Speaker 4:Was real. Yes. No. I'm with you. Lance, this has been a blast of a Problem Corner show.
Speaker 3:I enjoy doing doing radio.
Speaker 4:Alright. So we're gonna be back Lance will be back here with you on Monday. Yes. I will. Alright.
Speaker 4:And Connor's here. I was gonna hang out with Connor just because we don't have phones. It makes it a little hard to so I was gonna see. Maybe hey. Who knows?
Speaker 4:The guy with the glasses could be today. Maybe we could have phones.
Speaker 3:So Maybe yeah. Maybe. So
Speaker 4:send a text. Send an email between now and your next Problem Corner, especially if you got an alarm set for it. 586-1800. That'll get your text over here. Ayr@kiny.
