Cool cool cool. Episode 130.

13
00:00:22,188 --> 00:00:25,191
My name is Eric Feeney, founder
and president of Friends of Feeney.

14
00:00:25,225 --> 00:00:26,026
Our mission is to help

15
00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:29,029
children and families that need assistance
after heartbreak or tragedy.

16
00:00:29,162 --> 00:00:31,398
And I use this podcast
Feeney talks with friends,

17
00:00:31,398 --> 00:00:34,801
and I talk to wonderful people in
the community that are doing great things.

18
00:00:35,068 --> 00:00:37,103
And, Ali, you've been in the community
quite some time.

19
00:00:37,103 --> 00:00:38,671
I have my whole life.

20
00:00:38,671 --> 00:00:40,507
Fourth generation? Yes.

21
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:42,409
Yeah.

22
00:00:42,409 --> 00:00:46,513
We my family has lived in Hartford
for four generations.

23
00:00:46,613 --> 00:00:48,515
Exactly. Nice, nice.

24
00:00:48,515 --> 00:00:51,284
What's what's your favorite thing
about West Hartford?

25
00:00:51,284 --> 00:00:52,419
That's a great question.

26
00:00:52,419 --> 00:00:56,689
I think my favorite thing about West
Hartford is the community.

27
00:00:57,390 --> 00:01:01,227
I mean, I moved back here
because I knew that

28
00:01:01,227 --> 00:01:04,697
I'd be supported and starting a business
with this community.

29
00:01:04,697 --> 00:01:05,765
I knew it was strong.

30
00:01:05,765 --> 00:01:08,802
I think it's cool how you can just, like,
go to the grocery store

31
00:01:08,802 --> 00:01:13,139
and see somebody you know, or
I was walking in the park yesterday.

32
00:01:13,139 --> 00:01:17,010
I saw my friend from high schools,
parents, and I honestly love that.

33
00:01:17,377 --> 00:01:21,748
It's like small town, but yeah,
also a little bit city vibes now.

34
00:01:21,881 --> 00:01:24,651
Yeah. More than more
than when I was growing up for sure.

35
00:01:24,651 --> 00:01:26,586
Yeah, well, I'm not born here,
but I live here now.

36
00:01:26,586 --> 00:01:28,588
I live and work and teach in West
Hartford.

37
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:31,591
My daughters, I've raised my daughters
here, and it's an amazing place.

38
00:01:31,591 --> 00:01:32,092
So. Yeah.

39
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:34,861
And the community buy in for our nonprofit
has been amazing.

40
00:01:34,861 --> 00:01:37,897
And that local businesses,
we're here at Luna Pizza. Yes.

41
00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:39,099
99 Farmington.

42
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:40,767
Avenue, one of my absolute favorites.

43
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:42,268
Yes. Good pizza.

44
00:01:42,268 --> 00:01:45,505
And then we're going to get into
what is blue Jean creative.

45
00:01:45,839 --> 00:01:46,406
What is it?

46
00:01:46,406 --> 00:01:50,610
Yeah, well,
it is a social media marketing company.

47
00:01:50,643 --> 00:01:53,780
I do logos, websites, graphic design.

48
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:58,251
But kind of my main thing I would say is
I have monthly clients

49
00:01:58,251 --> 00:02:02,689
where I take their photos, that video,
I edit it and I post it

50
00:02:02,922 --> 00:02:06,392
and just build their presence,
build their vibe.

51
00:02:06,993 --> 00:02:07,393
Very cool.

52
00:02:07,393 --> 00:02:09,462
And then I'm here to thank you personally.

53
00:02:09,462 --> 00:02:10,296
I don't know if you noticed,

54
00:02:10,296 --> 00:02:13,733
but I like all our listeners to go
check out friends@fini.com.

55
00:02:13,733 --> 00:02:15,935
Yes, this new and improved website.

56
00:02:15,935 --> 00:02:18,438
It's absolutely amazing.
I've gotten so many compliments.

57
00:02:18,438 --> 00:02:20,006
Allie, I can't thank you enough.

58
00:02:20,006 --> 00:02:23,143
And Allie is
the is the brainchild behind that.

59
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:24,744
So thank you Allie.

60
00:02:24,744 --> 00:02:27,680
Yeah she did our website. It's
one of my favorite spots.

61
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,949
Take us you know step by step.
What did you do?

62
00:02:29,949 --> 00:02:31,317
What were some of your thoughts

63
00:02:31,317 --> 00:02:34,287
or your inspirations
on the Friends of Fini website?

64
00:02:34,287 --> 00:02:36,122
Well, I already loved your colors.

65
00:02:36,122 --> 00:02:36,589
I felt like

66
00:02:36,589 --> 00:02:39,592
they had like a really good contrast
with each other, the blue and green.

67
00:02:39,626 --> 00:02:43,229
And then you kind of had
that whole kind of athletic.

68
00:02:43,563 --> 00:02:46,699
And then Saint Patrick's Day vibe.

69
00:02:46,699 --> 00:02:48,668
So I tried to pull those in.

70
00:02:48,668 --> 00:02:52,505
And it's also, you know, a huge part of
your nonprofit is kids and families.

71
00:02:52,505 --> 00:02:56,876
So I wanted to make it feel
welcoming to that demographic.

72
00:02:56,910 --> 00:03:01,447
So just yeah, you know, there's all like
the little parts that move that are fun.

73
00:03:01,447 --> 00:03:05,985
And yeah, you know, I just want it
to be fun, bright and happy.

74
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:07,620
I mean, I can't yeah,

75
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:11,291
I think that's exactly what I saw
when you presented it, where Matt

76
00:03:11,291 --> 00:03:13,193
and you work partner with Matt,
our board of directors.

77
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:15,662
A huge help. Huge part of it for sure.

78
00:03:15,662 --> 00:03:16,863
Yeah, yeah. So he was great.

79
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:20,133
You guys were going back and forth
for quite some time, but I love it.

80
00:03:20,133 --> 00:03:21,401
That's the sports.

81
00:03:21,401 --> 00:03:23,436
You have the bouncing logo
I get that a lot.

82
00:03:23,436 --> 00:03:24,437
I love that on yeah.

83
00:03:24,437 --> 00:03:26,539
People love
they can chase it and try to move it.

84
00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:29,342
I thought that was fun.
I hear so many compliments on that.

85
00:03:29,342 --> 00:03:31,878
The color and the contrast.
Yeah. It's amazing.

86
00:03:31,878 --> 00:03:34,380
The Saint Patty's,
there's some clovers in there.

87
00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:36,282

Thank you. Yeah.

98
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:01,608
So what inspired you to start websites?

99
00:04:01,608 --> 00:04:02,542
Websites.

100
00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:07,013
Well, honestly,
all of us had been a hobby of mine since,

101
00:04:07,513 --> 00:04:10,083
I mean, so to start off,

102
00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:12,785
the minute
I figured out what a video camera was

103
00:04:12,785 --> 00:04:17,290
when I was, I don't know, 8 or 9 years
old, I was obsessed with it.

104
00:04:17,290 --> 00:04:21,394
I have hilarious home video of like,
my friends

105
00:04:21,394 --> 00:04:25,832
and I directing each other
and I don't know, like TV shows we wrote.

106
00:04:25,865 --> 00:04:26,299
Yeah.

107
00:04:26,299 --> 00:04:30,403
And then when I was in eighth grade,
I got my aunt

108
00:04:30,403 --> 00:04:32,572
gave me like a Nikon camera
for the first time,

109
00:04:32,572 --> 00:04:35,908
and I started taking people's pictures
for their holiday cards.

110
00:04:36,409 --> 00:04:41,080
And then I did graphic design
the class at Hall for all four years

111
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,051
and then started ended up designing, 
different things for Hall, like different

112
00:04:45,051 --> 00:04:48,288
sports
team shirts or, like the student planner.

113
00:04:48,855 --> 00:04:52,225
And I always thought of it as a hobby.

114
00:04:52,225 --> 00:04:55,161
I don't know why
I never thought of it as a career.

115
00:04:55,161 --> 00:04:55,962
I think because, like,

116
00:04:55,962 --> 00:05:00,333
when I was growing up,
the whole digital age did not exist yet.

117
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,071
So everything was print, which was more
art rather than what it is now.

118
00:05:05,938 --> 00:05:09,375
But, yeah, once I graduated college,

119
00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:12,845
I was kind of like,
maybe I should make this my career.

120
00:05:12,845 --> 00:05:14,514
So I started off in PR,

121
00:05:14,514 --> 00:05:20,019
and then part of the PR division I was
in was a lot of social media.

122
00:05:20,019 --> 00:05:22,689
And, actually,
when I was living in New York City,

123
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:25,692
I graduated University of New Hampshire,
moved right to New York.

124
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:28,428
And I opened the same business
I have now.

125
00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:32,532
It was called a Wildflower Project,
and I was just running social media

126
00:05:32,799 --> 00:05:35,568
for a few restaurants around there.

127
00:05:35,568 --> 00:05:37,470
That's pretty much how it all started.

128
00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:39,505
It's amazing.
Yeah. You have a wonderful story. Yeah.

129
00:05:39,505 --> 00:05:42,241
Check that out. There's an eight minute
video on your website, which I watched.

130
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:43,476
And you got into that.

131
00:05:43,476 --> 00:05:43,943
Yeah, yeah.

132
00:05:43,943 --> 00:05:47,013
You you, went to New Hampshire? Yep.

133
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:49,816
And you moved to New York City?

134
00:05:49,816 --> 00:05:51,984
Yes. Started the wildflower. Yep.

135
00:05:52,952 --> 00:05:53,886
Pandemic.

136
00:05:53,886 --> 00:05:56,289
Oh that's right. Pandemic,
then I couldn't.

137
00:05:56,289 --> 00:05:57,056
Did you teach?

138
00:05:57,056 --> 00:05:59,525
I did you. Teach in New York
or just teach in West Hartford?

139
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:01,027
No, I taught in New York. That's right.

140
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:02,462
That's kind of where I got my start.

141
00:06:02,462 --> 00:06:05,832
So when I was running wildflower,
you know,

142
00:06:05,832 --> 00:06:09,502
I turned 26 or whatever it is where you're
not on your parents insurance anymore.

143
00:06:09,902 --> 00:06:12,638
And I was really young,
and I just was like, okay,

144
00:06:12,638 --> 00:06:14,307
I think it might be easier
to have a full time job.

145
00:06:14,307 --> 00:06:15,575
And this at the same time.

146
00:06:15,575 --> 00:06:19,479
So I have all those benefits,
not knowing what I know now

147
00:06:19,479 --> 00:06:22,482
about how, you know, it's possible
to like, go on your own.

148
00:06:22,615 --> 00:06:25,785
So I started working for a charter school
called Success

149
00:06:25,785 --> 00:06:28,921
Academy,
and just need a bachelor's degree.

150
00:06:29,155 --> 00:06:31,991
But my parents are both public school
teachers, my mom and my dad,

151
00:06:31,991 --> 00:06:34,026
so I knew what it was going in.

152
00:06:34,026 --> 00:06:36,896
I had spent so much time in schools
growing up.

153
00:06:36,896 --> 00:06:39,132
My mom used to score best portfolios.

154
00:06:39,132 --> 00:06:39,799
Oh yeah.

155
00:06:39,799 --> 00:06:43,102
So she would have the VHS tape and
I'd be like, oh, well, what about this?

156
00:06:43,202 --> 00:06:44,337
I so I like.

157
00:06:44,337 --> 00:06:46,572
How old were you
when you were looking at Best Videos?

158
00:06:46,572 --> 00:06:47,640
I did a best video.

159
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,541
Did you. Yeah.

160
00:06:48,541 --> 00:06:49,709
Maybe she scored yours.

161
00:06:49,709 --> 00:06:53,045
One. Thousand
and one. Did I get out 2004?

162
00:06:53,112 --> 00:06:54,981
Honestly, that was around the time I.

163
00:06:54,981 --> 00:06:57,216
Yeah, when I was in elementary school.
That's crazy.

164
00:06:57,216 --> 00:06:59,385
So, I such a.

165
00:06:59,385 --> 00:07:02,288
Stressful thing on the teacher.
Why are you bringing. That up with PTSD?

166
00:07:02,288 --> 00:07:05,224
Well, my mom, you know, she did a good.
We had a record.

167
00:07:05,224 --> 00:07:05,858
As a teacher.

168
00:07:05,858 --> 00:07:09,362
Record the lessons, and in the lesson
plans, they had to match. Yep.

169
00:07:09,662 --> 00:07:11,664
And then you get school with a rubric.

170
00:07:11,664 --> 00:07:13,833
Not for best, because it's different now.

171
00:07:13,833 --> 00:07:18,204
But, Yeah, I have my master's in general
and special education K through 12.

172
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:20,406
Oh, nice. Yeah.

173
00:07:21,574 --> 00:07:23,075
So I did like teaching.

174
00:07:23,075 --> 00:07:26,078
I ended up with closing my
the Wildflower project

175
00:07:26,345 --> 00:07:29,816
when Covid hit, because only working with
restaurants and all of them closed down.

176
00:07:29,849 --> 00:07:32,185
I don't think a single
one of them reopened up.

177
00:07:32,185 --> 00:07:33,653
Just pretty sad.

178
00:07:33,653 --> 00:07:39,225
But luckily I had that teaching job
because I was really happy, honestly.

179
00:07:39,625 --> 00:07:41,694
Teaching.

180
00:07:41,694 --> 00:07:44,964
I thought remote learning
was really successful.

181
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:48,901
I think due to the fact
that I'm really good at computers,

182
00:07:49,268 --> 00:07:51,604
and I was able to use my graphic design
background

183
00:07:51,604 --> 00:07:53,806
to make all these really cool things
for the kids.

184
00:07:53,806 --> 00:07:55,808
Like, I had a whole interactive classroom
where they could

185
00:07:55,808 --> 00:07:58,878
click on different things and play games,
and I was really into it.

186
00:07:58,878 --> 00:08:02,648
So I did kindergarten,
a full year in the garden remote.

187
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:06,185
It was great though, because the parents,
I think because it was the kids

188
00:08:06,185 --> 00:08:08,254
first year of school,
they were so invested.

189
00:08:08,254 --> 00:08:11,257
But the crazy thing is,
is that I had 30 kids in my class,

190
00:08:11,457 --> 00:08:12,558
plus their parents sitting next to them.

191
00:08:12,558 --> 00:08:15,127
So I was teaching it like 60 people a day.

192
00:08:15,127 --> 00:08:16,262
Yeah, and you're not.

193
00:08:16,262 --> 00:08:19,232
It's not normal
to have people's parents in the classroom.

194
00:08:19,732 --> 00:08:21,968
The nice thing was that behavior
management was really easy.

195
00:08:21,968 --> 00:08:23,035
Yeah. Mute.

196
00:08:23,035 --> 00:08:23,569
I talk.

197
00:08:23,569 --> 00:08:26,439
Yeah,
I taught second grade during Covid. Yeah.

198
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:28,307
And lovely grade.

199
00:08:28,307 --> 00:08:31,310
Same thing. I saw so many nostrils. Yep.

200
00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:33,212
And then I had to say hi to every dog.

201
00:08:33,212 --> 00:08:35,715
Hey, where's Barney, where's spot spike?

202
00:08:35,715 --> 00:08:37,650
And there's, Or show and tell.

203
00:08:37,650 --> 00:08:39,652
We ended every lesson with show and tell.

204
00:08:39,652 --> 00:08:40,820
Or sometimes we got.

205
00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:41,354
Creative.

206
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:44,457
Moms with the nightgowns
walking back in the background and stuff.

207
00:08:44,457 --> 00:08:47,460
I just like yelling in the background,
and I'm like, oh, mute?

208
00:08:47,727 --> 00:08:48,928
Mute. Yeah, I got to.

209
00:08:48,928 --> 00:08:49,295
No, no, no.

210
00:08:49,295 --> 00:08:52,298
When the lights up to it, you hear it
and you see which ones,

211
00:08:52,398 --> 00:08:53,332
where's it coming from?

212
00:08:53,332 --> 00:08:55,434
Because you got the full square
like the Brady Bunch.

213
00:08:55,434 --> 00:08:55,968
Yeah. Squares.

214
00:08:55,968 --> 00:08:59,071
Always really interesting, but, so fun.

215
00:08:59,105 --> 00:08:59,772
So you did that

216
00:08:59,772 --> 00:09:03,242
going back to the classroom
the next year, I switched the first grade

217
00:09:03,242 --> 00:09:05,711
and my whole class looped with me,
so I had to save.

218
00:09:05,711 --> 00:09:06,445
So cool.

219
00:09:06,445 --> 00:09:08,981
And the same parents.
So that was really awesome.

220
00:09:08,981 --> 00:09:12,351
During that, I went to third grade
and I looped with, like, six.

221
00:09:12,351 --> 00:09:14,820
Yeah. And I call them like, I'm like,
you guys are the lucky ones.

222
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:17,423
Yeah,
I get me two. Years in. Every single kid.

223
00:09:17,423 --> 00:09:19,592
Wow. You looped with the whole class?

224
00:09:19,592 --> 00:09:20,326
That's so cool.

225
00:09:20,326 --> 00:09:21,561
They're like,
normally we wouldn't do this,

226
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:23,429
but we feel like
this is a special circumstance.

227
00:09:23,429 --> 00:09:25,798
And since it's their first year
in real school.

228
00:09:25,798 --> 00:09:27,833
Yeah, you really built the rapport
in the relationship.

229
00:09:27,833 --> 00:09:30,836
And also, kindergarten
is kind of like the core of

230
00:09:31,103 --> 00:09:32,838
getting used to being in a classroom.

231
00:09:32,838 --> 00:09:35,675
And then the first grade is like,
we're in school. This is real.

232
00:09:35,675 --> 00:09:38,010
So I think that really just helped

233
00:09:38,010 --> 00:09:41,013
that, you know, little community of kids
and their parents.

234
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:43,683
You ever watched The Goldbergs on TV?

235
00:09:43,683 --> 00:09:45,985
ABC this kid, it's like an 80 show.

236
00:09:45,985 --> 00:09:47,486
And the kid had the camcorder.

237
00:09:47,486 --> 00:09:49,355
Yeah, he made videos. Yeah.

238
00:09:49,355 --> 00:09:51,490
And it's a true story.

239
00:09:51,490 --> 00:09:54,226
Now. All the videos he made,
he turned into a TV show.

240
00:09:54,226 --> 00:09:55,561
So he'll show the TV show.

241
00:09:55,561 --> 00:09:58,531
And then at the end of the TV show,
he shows the real clip that he recorded

242
00:09:58,931 --> 00:10:00,266
from the 80s. It's funny.

243
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,101
Oh, that's really cool.
And I could do that.

244
00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:02,868
You should watch that.

245
00:10:02,868 --> 00:10:05,137
Yeah,
you could do that. Yeah, I could do that.

246
00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:05,972
That'd be awesome.

247
00:10:05,972 --> 00:10:08,040
Yeah, you could like the blue cheese.

248
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,542
It's like my neighbors.

249
00:10:09,542 --> 00:10:13,212
So it's us, and then my neighbors
put their last name to the cliff,

250
00:10:13,212 --> 00:10:14,447
like the Clifford's. Yeah.

251
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:17,450
So their son just bought the house
next to that house.

252
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:19,385
So my parents are now neighbors with him.

253
00:10:19,385 --> 00:10:20,486
Just one house removed.

254
00:10:20,486 --> 00:10:21,120
Wow. That's.

255
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,756
So we have the same backyards
and everything to film it, and.

256
00:10:23,756 --> 00:10:24,523
You could relive it?

257
00:10:24,523 --> 00:10:25,891
Yeah, I like it. Okay.

258
00:10:25,891 --> 00:10:27,693
And then you have a cool picture.

259
00:10:27,693 --> 00:10:30,029
You with the disposable camera
on the website.

260
00:10:30,029 --> 00:10:32,965
When you're a kid? Yeah.
I just always. Loved taking pictures.

261
00:10:32,965 --> 00:10:34,200
Even way back. Yeah.

262
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,736
You were like six, 7 or 8. Yeah.

263
00:10:36,736 --> 00:10:39,972
I had a, one of those Kodak
Polaroid cameras to do that.

264
00:10:40,873 --> 00:10:43,876
Yeah, I have a whole album of the pictures
I took from that camera still.

265
00:10:44,543 --> 00:10:46,379
Yeah, I was just always interested in it.

266
00:10:46,379 --> 00:10:47,747
You said you had a Polaroid.

267
00:10:47,747 --> 00:10:48,648
Yeah, I had a Polaroid.

268
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:50,583
I have one now,
but I had, like, an original one.

269
00:10:50,583 --> 00:10:52,785
Yeah, I remember wanting one really badly.

270
00:10:52,785 --> 00:10:54,020
Those were so expensive.

271
00:10:54,020 --> 00:10:56,822
I had a Polaroid. Yes,
to buy the package of photos.

272
00:10:56,822 --> 00:10:58,891
Oh, yeah. It's so expensive.
It's like a dollar a photo.

273
00:10:58,891 --> 00:10:59,992
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

274
00:10:59,992 --> 00:11:01,594
And then, like, God forbid

275
00:11:01,594 --> 00:11:04,497
you print them out and it's like someone's
blinking or not looking.

276
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:06,999
I know. But imagine it when we were kids.

277
00:11:06,999 --> 00:11:08,434
Yeah. You just got what you got.

278
00:11:08,434 --> 00:11:09,635
I sent them away.

279
00:11:09,635 --> 00:11:13,706
We had to go
to, like, a Kodak photo Mart or CVS.

280
00:11:13,706 --> 00:11:14,106
Yeah.

281
00:11:14,106 --> 00:11:17,176
Turn in your little tube or photo.

282
00:11:17,276 --> 00:11:17,543
Yeah.

283
00:11:17,543 --> 00:11:19,378
Get it back and it's lotto.

284
00:11:19,378 --> 00:11:22,014
Whatever you got, you're like,
oh. I actually have a film camera.

285
00:11:22,014 --> 00:11:25,551
That was my mom's that I'm excited
to start to learn how to use this spring.

286
00:11:25,551 --> 00:11:28,587
And a few friends
who use the film camera still.

287
00:11:28,788 --> 00:11:31,857
Wow. So we're all gonna go out
and see what we can get.

288
00:11:32,425 --> 00:11:33,592
Because you got two year olds now,

289
00:11:33,592 --> 00:11:35,227
our three year olds going,
let me see the picture.

290
00:11:35,227 --> 00:11:35,828
Let me see the picture.

291
00:11:35,828 --> 00:11:38,030
I know how to. They know right away
and everything.

292
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:39,465
It's immediate.

293
00:11:39,465 --> 00:11:41,200
When we got a picture, we were like,
all right, we'll see that.

294
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,836
And then what do you do with the pictures?

295
00:11:43,836 --> 00:11:44,637
You know.

296
00:11:44,637 --> 00:11:46,305
I have shoeboxes in my basement.

297
00:11:46,305 --> 00:11:47,373
Yeah. College.

298
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:51,477
I think it's important to, like, try
to put them in some sort of book, like a

299
00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:54,547
get them printed or get them printed
in a book, because otherwise they just.

300
00:11:55,081 --> 00:11:56,816
Also kids for my students.

301
00:11:56,816 --> 00:11:59,985
Anyway, when I take a picture,
I also try to print them out

302
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:01,787
so they can have the handhold.

303
00:12:01,787 --> 00:12:03,723
Because kids, you know, if you don't like,

304
00:12:03,723 --> 00:12:06,959
we all put them on social media,
you see them on Facebook, whatever.

305
00:12:07,493 --> 00:12:08,461
But get them to get.

306
00:12:08,461 --> 00:12:11,430
That print in your hands on training.
So yeah. And then.

307
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:11,731
You get to.

308
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:14,700
Keep it, put it on the fridge,
tack it to your wall.

309
00:12:15,334 --> 00:12:18,504
At the end of the year,
I hope they create a memories poster.

310
00:12:18,804 --> 00:12:19,772
Oh, that's keep them all.

311
00:12:19,772 --> 00:12:22,374
And they do best things
about the school. Yeah.

312
00:12:22,374 --> 00:12:23,509
And that's so fun.

313
00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:24,310
It's really cool.

314
00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:26,045
I would have a big picture of that. Yeah.

315
00:12:26,045 --> 00:12:27,580
So I can same I relate.

316
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:29,081
Yeah I can relate. And I.

317
00:12:29,081 --> 00:12:30,916
Guess how many videos I have on my phone.

318
00:12:32,051 --> 00:12:32,451
Like right

319
00:12:32,451 --> 00:12:35,521
now, like video like how many,
how much storage.

320
00:12:35,521 --> 00:12:38,057
Do 13,000 videos.

321
00:12:38,057 --> 00:12:39,992
13,000, ladies and gentlemen.

322
00:12:39,992 --> 00:12:41,360
13,000.

323
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,562
Yeah. I'm about to go to Apple
and have them help me out.

324
00:12:43,562 --> 00:12:45,131
So you pay for extra storage?

325
00:12:45,131 --> 00:12:46,465
Yeah, like a terabyte.

326
00:12:46,465 --> 00:12:48,634
How much? A terabyte of storage.

327
00:12:48,634 --> 00:12:49,635
A terabyte. Yeah.

328
00:12:49,635 --> 00:12:51,103
How much is that per month?

329
00:12:51,103 --> 00:12:53,839
I think I pay an extra $0.90.

330
00:12:53,839 --> 00:12:56,041
$10. Maybe you pay an extra ten bucks
a month.

331
00:12:56,041 --> 00:12:58,511
Like part of my business.
So, yeah, it's a business expense.

332
00:12:58,511 --> 00:12:59,712
True. Yeah.

333
00:12:59,712 --> 00:13:03,883
But I'm starting to try to figure out
a way to store because, I mean, a part

334
00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:07,219
part of that is, you know, all my clients

335
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,657
content that I never want to delete
because I use things from other months.

336
00:13:11,657 --> 00:13:13,526
And I just I'm at the point where, like,

337
00:13:13,526 --> 00:13:15,427
I've been in business
for a little bit over a year,

338
00:13:15,427 --> 00:13:18,197
and now I'm like, okay,
I have to figure out storage and where

339
00:13:18,197 --> 00:13:21,133
I'm going to keep everyone things
and I don't want to get rid of.

340
00:13:21,133 --> 00:13:22,334
From Direct Line Media.

341
00:13:22,334 --> 00:13:24,103
Yeah, yeah, I met up with him.

342
00:13:24,103 --> 00:13:25,437
He's great. Big.

343
00:13:25,437 --> 00:13:27,406
I got burned by
a flash drive once, though.

344
00:13:28,774 --> 00:13:29,375
I still haven't.

345
00:13:29,375 --> 00:13:30,109
Got corrupted.

346
00:13:30,109 --> 00:13:32,311
And then. Oh, I use cloud storage.

347
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:34,146
Okay. Big fan of cloud.

348
00:13:34,146 --> 00:13:35,214
Yeah, but where does it go?

349
00:13:35,214 --> 00:13:38,150
And who gets to see it in the cloud?
You trust the cloud?

350
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:42,621
I mean, if anyone wants to look through
all my pizza photos, they can dogs and.

351
00:13:43,189 --> 00:13:45,624
Yeah, sure.

352
00:13:45,624 --> 00:13:46,759
Yeah. So cool.

353
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:48,194
We did the social media.

354
00:13:48,194 --> 00:13:51,163
Let's talk about the, oh, social media.

355
00:13:51,163 --> 00:13:55,167
But what's it called when you post
for people's Instagram pages?

356
00:13:55,201 --> 00:13:56,235
Is that also social media?

357
00:13:56,235 --> 00:13:58,204
It's called like a social media manager.

358
00:13:58,204 --> 00:13:59,805
So I take the photos,

359
00:13:59,805 --> 00:14:03,142
I take the video, I edit it,
I come up with the captions and I post,

360
00:14:03,576 --> 00:14:06,879
and then I also go on their page
and just like stuff.

361
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:09,215
Because you're we're here at Luna Pizza.

362
00:14:09,215 --> 00:14:11,350
Yeah, one of my clients,
one of your clients.

363
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:13,385
So I'm going to pull up something
I didn't show.

364
00:14:13,385 --> 00:14:14,854
This works people because

365
00:14:16,055 --> 00:14:18,390
she posted today.

366
00:14:18,390 --> 00:14:21,393
Today. Bella, look at this.

367
00:14:21,493 --> 00:14:24,163
Look at those.

368
00:14:24,163 --> 00:14:25,364
We're going to show that. Boom.

369
00:14:25,364 --> 00:14:27,366
Got that.

370
00:14:27,366 --> 00:14:28,234
And it's just.

371
00:14:28,234 --> 00:14:31,303
Warning one bite of these garlic knots
and you're hooked for.

372
00:14:31,303 --> 00:14:31,804
Life.

373
00:14:31,804 --> 00:14:35,274
You are
I saw this video, Alex I saw this video.

374
00:14:35,341 --> 00:14:36,542
I saw this picture.

375
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:39,044
Look what I as soon as I get here,

376
00:14:39,044 --> 00:14:39,778
what did I order?

377
00:14:39,778 --> 00:14:41,714
Ladies and gentlemen, the garlic.

378
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:44,850
I mean, we have pretty realistic, right?

379
00:14:45,751 --> 00:14:46,652
We got what's that called?

380
00:14:46,652 --> 00:14:48,687
Virtual reality.

381
00:14:48,687 --> 00:14:50,289
Oh yeah.

382
00:14:50,289 --> 00:14:54,460
But look, they look as good in person
as I do in the photo, right?

383
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,496
I'm realistic. Realistic? That sauce.

384
00:14:57,496 --> 00:14:59,732
Warning one bite
and you're hooked for life.

385
00:14:59,732 --> 00:15:02,735
Online pickup 9.99 Farmington. Yes.

386
00:15:03,435 --> 00:15:04,036
That was cool.

387
00:15:04,036 --> 00:15:04,603
It works.

388
00:15:04,603 --> 00:15:06,038
Yeah, I'm I'm big into that.

389
00:15:06,038 --> 00:15:08,774
When I see something some guy

390
00:15:10,042 --> 00:15:14,246
881 down
in Hartford, he does a chicken sandwich

391
00:15:14,513 --> 00:15:17,316
and he has all these guys come in
and eat the chicken sandwich idea.

392
00:15:17,316 --> 00:15:20,185
And then, like, people rate the chicken
sandwich and talk about the chicken.

393
00:15:20,185 --> 00:15:21,687
Oh, no. No. Excuse me. Fish sandwich.

394
00:15:21,687 --> 00:15:24,089
It's fishing chain.

395
00:15:24,089 --> 00:15:28,027
Fried fish chain a fish chain. 881.

396
00:15:28,527 --> 00:15:29,762
And he has all these videos.

397
00:15:29,762 --> 00:15:31,530
And I was like, I got to try it.

398
00:15:31,530 --> 00:15:33,332
Yeah I went down there.
I'm waiting in line.

399
00:15:33,332 --> 00:15:34,300
Some guy comes in.

400
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:37,670
He drove from Springfield
after seeing the same video I did.

401
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:40,372
So those those videos work. So whatever.

402
00:15:40,372 --> 00:15:42,041
Especially for food. Yes.

403
00:15:42,041 --> 00:15:46,845
Because you say top of mind and what
people see a lot, they start to crave.

404
00:15:47,313 --> 00:15:47,846
Yeah.

405
00:15:47,846 --> 00:15:50,382
Because it was like I think social media
is just like super important for food.

406
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:52,251
I love taking pictures of food.

407
00:15:52,251 --> 00:15:53,619
You dangled the carrot. Yeah.

408
00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:55,154
And I'm like, I have to get these garlic.

409
00:15:55,154 --> 00:15:57,589
Nice are my favorite subjects.

410
00:15:57,589 --> 00:15:59,825
But sometimes I had the unfortunate one.

411
00:15:59,825 --> 00:16:00,659
I want to say their name,

412
00:16:00,659 --> 00:16:04,563
but they posted like this
ice cream sandwich and it was like fluffy.

413
00:16:05,164 --> 00:16:06,398
The cookie looked great.

414
00:16:06,398 --> 00:16:09,034
The ice cream was filling.
It was perfectly cylinder.

415
00:16:09,034 --> 00:16:11,270
It was like, great. I was like,
all right, I'm going to go get this.

416
00:16:11,270 --> 00:16:11,870
I get it.

417
00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:16,141
And it was like
mushed flat croquettes, small.

418
00:16:16,575 --> 00:16:19,478
And I was like,
oh, this Instagram really let me down.

419
00:16:19,478 --> 00:16:20,579
Yeah. I mean,

420
00:16:21,513 --> 00:16:23,248
so like my whole thing is that

421
00:16:23,248 --> 00:16:26,552
I want my pictures to look like
what things look like in person.

422
00:16:26,552 --> 00:16:30,823
So, you know, some people in the past,
a lot of marketers will have different

423
00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:34,193
setups or different tricks
to like make things look fluffier or make.

424
00:16:34,193 --> 00:16:35,294
And I was like, why?

425
00:16:35,294 --> 00:16:36,862
That's not what they're going to get

426
00:16:36,862 --> 00:16:39,531
when they get to the restaurant
and it's going to be disappointing.

427
00:16:39,531 --> 00:16:40,666
So you want to try to make it.

428
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:43,068
I've always it's possible I think. Yeah.

429
00:16:43,068 --> 00:16:43,302
There you go.

430
00:16:43,302 --> 00:16:47,139
Back in the day I guess
cereal commercials

431
00:16:47,139 --> 00:16:49,375
when they were pouring the cereal
and the milk would come out.

432
00:16:49,375 --> 00:16:52,378
Yeah. Urban legend, it
was. Glue, I'm sure.

433
00:16:52,778 --> 00:16:55,381
Or they would inject, like, water

434
00:16:55,381 --> 00:16:59,018
into the burgers to make them
look fluffier or sprinkle like, fake.

435
00:16:59,218 --> 00:17:02,254
I've never gotten a McDonald's burger
that it's fluffy like they had.

436
00:17:02,287 --> 00:17:05,090
Oh, then the commercial that.
Like a flat piece of.

437
00:17:05,090 --> 00:17:07,292
That's the biggest false
advertisement ever.

438
00:17:07,292 --> 00:17:08,827
I don't know why commercial.

439
00:17:08,827 --> 00:17:11,163
Photography is just not for me.

440
00:17:11,163 --> 00:17:13,665
Yeah, yeah. It's.

441
00:17:13,665 --> 00:17:15,100
So how'd you connect with Alex?

442
00:17:15,100 --> 00:17:16,702
Our motto?

443
00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:18,037
Be a good friend.

444
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:19,638
Pick up trash is not yours.

445
00:17:19,638 --> 00:17:21,874
Give a compliment. Be charitable.
Hold the door.

446
00:17:21,874 --> 00:17:24,543
That's not yours.
What makes Alex a good friend?

447
00:17:26,311 --> 00:17:28,147
Yeah, I don't think he's listening.

448
00:17:28,147 --> 00:17:28,981
I don't think so.

449
00:17:28,981 --> 00:17:32,785
I know,

450
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:39,825
Alex has a good friend because he always
thanks me for the work I do.

451
00:17:39,858 --> 00:17:42,995
Even though he pays me to do it. Yeah.

452
00:17:43,262 --> 00:17:46,231
And he's always really grateful
for everything I post, and.

453
00:17:46,298 --> 00:17:48,300
Yeah, and he's fun to work with.

454
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:49,401
Like, when I'm here.

455
00:17:49,401 --> 00:17:51,303
We're chatting the whole time.

456
00:17:51,303 --> 00:17:53,405
We're in Duncan Wings. Where?

457
00:17:53,405 --> 00:17:55,874
Yeah, we have fun. So. Yeah.

458
00:17:55,874 --> 00:17:58,444
What's better than being a good friend
than being a fun friend?

459
00:17:58,444 --> 00:18:01,113
Being a fun friend,
I agree. Yeah, we hit it off once.

460
00:18:01,113 --> 00:18:04,083
Soon as I met Alex, I was like,
I got to get this guy on my podcast.

461
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:04,616
Yeah.

462
00:18:04,616 --> 00:18:07,219
Then he turns out he's got a great heart.
He's generous.

463
00:18:07,219 --> 00:18:08,987
It's thoughtful. Oh.

464
00:18:08,987 --> 00:18:11,090
Because they played in your golf
tournament?

465
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:13,292
That's right. Yeah. Together.

466
00:18:13,292 --> 00:18:13,892
Some other person.

467
00:18:13,892 --> 00:18:15,861
I was like, oh, my dad plays golf.

468
00:18:15,861 --> 00:18:17,663
How's how's Harry as a golfer?

469
00:18:17,663 --> 00:18:19,198
He's a really good golfer.

470
00:18:19,198 --> 00:18:23,102
I think this spring we're going
to get some some serious golf lessons in.

471
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:24,603
Him and I are both lefty golfers.

472
00:18:24,603 --> 00:18:27,206
Oh, I write with my right,
but I golf with my left.

473
00:18:27,206 --> 00:18:29,942
Got to go to golf tech,
see my guy Dave on New Britain Avenue.

474
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:31,210
Okay. Golf tech.

475
00:18:31,210 --> 00:18:32,778
Is that. Square you away.

476
00:18:32,778 --> 00:18:34,379
He'll show you a video.

477
00:18:34,379 --> 00:18:36,281
Oh I've heard about he does lines.

478
00:18:36,281 --> 00:18:37,382
It's very.

479
00:18:37,382 --> 00:18:38,550
Yeah. It's like a.

480
00:18:38,550 --> 00:18:41,820
He structures here
lessons coaching my daughter and I go, oh.

481
00:18:41,820 --> 00:18:42,554
That's fine. Dave.

482
00:18:42,554 --> 00:18:45,124
That good golf tech.
I highly suggest them.

483
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:45,691
Oh cool.

484
00:18:45,691 --> 00:18:48,293
New Brighton Avenue,
you just celebrated. Fun.

485
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:50,162
I want to say seven years or eight years.

486
00:18:50,162 --> 00:18:52,631
I feel like I met him,
and then maybe a networking thing.

487
00:18:53,699 --> 00:18:55,467
Dave, remember learning about that?

488
00:18:55,467 --> 00:19:00,005
Went to Florida State for golf
to to like golf management.

489
00:19:00,038 --> 00:19:00,873
Yeah. Class.

490
00:19:00,873 --> 00:19:03,909
Yeah we've definitely met because I think
I look the website up pretty good.

491
00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:06,512
It's cool. Yeah. Cool concept.

492
00:19:06,512 --> 00:19:08,480
And it's working. He's
killing it down there.

493
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,215
So it's full every day.

494
00:19:10,215 --> 00:19:11,683
And then here Harry come on here.

495
00:19:11,683 --> 00:19:13,585
Are you going to be a podcast
guest? Can we.

496
00:19:13,585 --> 00:19:16,121
Make a, a plea to get Harry.

497
00:19:16,121 --> 00:19:17,256
On? I don't think you have to play.

498
00:19:17,256 --> 00:19:19,191
I think he'll just come.
How long has he been doing?

499
00:19:19,191 --> 00:19:21,160
Is he still teaching,
or did he retire? Nope.

500
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,929
He retired 40 years.

501
00:19:23,929 --> 00:19:25,731
40 years.

502
00:19:25,731 --> 00:19:27,866
I'm on 21, and it feels like forever.

503
00:19:27,866 --> 00:19:30,702
I don't even know. How's 40. Years? Yeah.

504
00:19:30,702 --> 00:19:31,970
What subject?

505
00:19:31,970 --> 00:19:35,774
So is Ed, and originally,
he was going to be history,

506
00:19:36,375 --> 00:19:40,679
but he was playing
football behind Buckley High School

507
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,715
right when he was about to graduate
from central.

508
00:19:43,715 --> 00:19:46,318
And his football coach was like, or

509
00:19:46,318 --> 00:19:49,521
his high school football coach was like,
hey, what do you do in, like,

510
00:19:50,522 --> 00:19:51,490
you're graduating?

511
00:19:51,490 --> 00:19:52,758
Do you want to come coach?

512
00:19:52,758 --> 00:19:55,761
And so that's
how he started coaching at Buckley.

513
00:19:55,794 --> 00:19:58,463
Then it just progressed
to becoming a teacher

514
00:19:58,463 --> 00:20:00,365
and then a coach for other sports.

515
00:20:00,365 --> 00:20:05,070
And then, in 1994, he switched to Harford
High and stayed there

516
00:20:05,070 --> 00:20:08,073
until, I guess, 2022.

517
00:20:09,308 --> 00:20:10,409
Wow. Yeah.

518
00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:12,444
And there's a field named after him to.

519
00:20:12,444 --> 00:20:15,180
Harry Baluchi Fields. Wow. Yeah.

520
00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:19,551
I mean, he made that fields happen
because they were one of the only places

521
00:20:19,551 --> 00:20:22,554
in the state stadiums in the state
that didn't have lights.

522
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:26,558
And he I think he called the mayor
every single day.

523
00:20:27,392 --> 00:20:28,627
I'm not even kidding.

524
00:20:28,627 --> 00:20:31,263
And then they got those lights up.
So it's a beautiful field.

525
00:20:31,263 --> 00:20:31,830
He's off.

526
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:33,165
The track is blue.

527
00:20:33,165 --> 00:20:33,865
It's cool.

528
00:20:33,865 --> 00:20:36,535
Have you been to Hartford
High? Yeah. No. Yeah.

529
00:20:36,535 --> 00:20:39,738
It's over by the, 
Hartford Athletic and Yard goats are.

530
00:20:39,738 --> 00:20:41,340
Where is. It? No.

531
00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:43,609
I know Weaver.

532
00:20:43,609 --> 00:20:46,278
It's not. It's not Weaver. It's
not Buckley.

533
00:20:46,278 --> 00:20:47,045
It's Hartford Heights.

534
00:20:47,045 --> 00:20:51,850
Off of Farmington
Ave going towards, downtown.

535
00:20:53,552 --> 00:20:53,785
All right.

536
00:20:53,785 --> 00:20:54,353
I'll have to check it out.

537
00:20:54,353 --> 00:20:58,290
Yeah, I'm trying to think there's
a historic house next to it, not.

538
00:20:58,590 --> 00:21:01,560
No. Oh, but the other mark Twain.

539
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,462
Mark Twain house is right next door. Okay.

540
00:21:03,462 --> 00:21:04,263
Yeah. Okay.

541
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:06,431
All right. I'm tracking. I've been there.

542
00:21:06,431 --> 00:21:09,434
All right, Harry, I look forward
to talking with you and come.

543
00:21:09,601 --> 00:21:10,869
Come to the golf tournament.

544
00:21:10,869 --> 00:21:12,571
Hopefully, Alex and Harry.

545
00:21:12,571 --> 00:21:14,673
I'll save the date. September 13th.

546
00:21:14,673 --> 00:21:15,874
Okay. You coming?

547
00:21:15,874 --> 00:21:18,510
You can help out. You volunteering
or you going golf now?

548
00:21:18,510 --> 00:21:19,578
I'll probably volunteer.

549
00:21:19,578 --> 00:21:22,414
Well, last year,
I. I kind of just came and.

550
00:21:22,414 --> 00:21:22,981
Did some pictures.

551
00:21:22,981 --> 00:21:25,784
Hung out and made that video for you guys.

552
00:21:25,784 --> 00:21:27,185
Go on, talk about the video.

553
00:21:27,185 --> 00:21:29,221
I have it on the list to talk about.
Great.

554
00:21:29,221 --> 00:21:31,290
It was so fun. We drove around in the car.

555
00:21:32,324 --> 00:21:33,125
We had a great time.

556
00:21:33,125 --> 00:21:34,993
Oh. Victor's driving.

557
00:21:34,993 --> 00:21:36,962
Yeah. You're in the passenger.
No, I think you drove.

558
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:39,364
Oh, yeah. Hang on the back.
You guys switched?

559
00:21:39,364 --> 00:21:41,633
Yeah. And I was, like, filming
you above like this.

560
00:21:41,633 --> 00:21:42,167
It was fun.

561
00:21:42,167 --> 00:21:43,735
Because I don't think Victor's ever driven

562
00:21:43,735 --> 00:21:45,604
a golf course, so I was like, hey, drive.

563
00:21:45,604 --> 00:21:50,776
Yeah, and that video in 76 likes nice.

564
00:21:51,176 --> 00:21:54,279
A thousand won 1.4 thousand views.

565
00:21:54,546 --> 00:21:57,349

566
00:21:57,349 --> 00:21:59,151

I feel like it's viral.

571
00:22:08,093 --> 00:22:09,161
I mean, you did my first viral.

572
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:11,396
My first video went viral.

573
00:22:11,396 --> 00:22:12,864
Come on. Yes.

574
00:22:12,864 --> 00:22:15,867
As for Naples pizza,
and it was for Easter.

575
00:22:16,268 --> 00:22:19,037
And it was just a video of them taking,

576
00:22:19,037 --> 00:22:21,773
the pizza
out of the oven and putting them in boxes.

577

00:22:33,652 --> 00:22:34,853
And you've been killing it ever since.

582
00:22:34,853 --> 00:22:35,654
I mean.

583
00:22:35,654 --> 00:22:36,488
No, I wanted to thank you.

584
00:22:36,488 --> 00:22:38,857
That golf video was funny
because I'm, like, barking in the back

585
00:22:38,857 --> 00:22:40,192
about being a good friend.

586
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:42,160
Yeah, well, this is. Cruising. Around.

587
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,495
That was kind of spontaneous. Right.

588
00:22:43,495 --> 00:22:46,331
So this year will be
it will do a few. Yeah.

589
00:22:46,331 --> 00:22:48,967
No planning, no script.
Just one shot. You.

Probably best though.

626
00:24:05,076 --> 00:24:08,079
So let's talk about these tweaking logos.

627
00:24:08,313 --> 00:24:12,083
Oh, speaking of which,
you tweaked a common friends tweaking.

628
00:24:12,417 --> 00:24:13,552
Tweaking. What did I say?

629
00:24:13,552 --> 00:24:15,187
I don't know, I wasn't sure is.

630
00:24:15,187 --> 00:24:18,190
It set in? I'm just tweaking. So.

631
00:24:18,523 --> 00:24:19,324
So you.

632
00:24:19,324 --> 00:24:20,625
Tweaked someone's.

633
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:23,161
This person likes to knit.

634
00:24:23,161 --> 00:24:24,696
Yes. Erica.

635
00:24:24,696 --> 00:24:25,831
I'm gonna guess.

636
00:24:25,831 --> 00:24:28,166
You're gonna guess. You know,
and probably now.

637
00:24:28,166 --> 00:24:28,767
Erica.

638
00:24:28,767 --> 00:24:32,170
Erica Smith wrap up for Erica's to home

639
00:24:32,404 --> 00:24:35,073
And a wonderful crochet our knitter.

640
00:24:35,073 --> 00:24:36,107
Fabulous.

641
00:24:36,107 --> 00:24:38,210
Made me multiple hats
with the Friends of Jeannie patch.

642
00:24:38,210 --> 00:24:41,813
So I want to thank Erica for her
husband's eye.

643
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:44,449
He's he's decent. He's. We'll keep him.

644
00:24:44,449 --> 00:24:46,518
He's he's I decent.

645
00:24:46,518 --> 00:24:49,855
This is the thing. I'm gonna use that DS.

646
00:24:49,921 --> 00:24:51,289
I might get made fun of for that, but.

647
00:24:52,924 --> 00:24:55,827
My daughter just said something to me
like, are you tired?

648
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:57,229
Are you tired?

649
00:24:57,229 --> 00:24:59,331
Are you old as well?

650
00:24:59,331 --> 00:25:03,869
So I will, because I'm
the oldest of my cousins.

651
00:25:03,902 --> 00:25:06,905
Yep. So that was really cool
until they figured out

652
00:25:06,905 --> 00:25:09,908
they were Gen Z and I was not cool.

653
00:25:10,442 --> 00:25:13,345
Well, no, they said I was punk.

654
00:25:13,345 --> 00:25:13,845
Hunk or.

655
00:25:13,845 --> 00:25:15,780
Uncle unk like uncle.

656
00:25:15,780 --> 00:25:18,350
Wow. Yeah. The summer.

657
00:25:18,350 --> 00:25:19,050
You got asked.

658
00:25:19,050 --> 00:25:21,820
I got punked, which I don't know.

659
00:25:21,820 --> 00:25:23,522
Part of me feels like it's cool.

660
00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:26,791
Part of me is like,
they just think I'm kind of cringing now,

661
00:25:28,193 --> 00:25:28,560
but I.

662
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,229
But I honestly stay cool because of them.

663
00:25:31,229 --> 00:25:32,030
Nice.

664
00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:32,731
I know all the slang.

665
00:25:32,731 --> 00:25:35,834
I come back from the cape
and I'm like saying all the cool

666
00:25:35,834 --> 00:25:37,736
things like the kids do.

667
00:25:37,736 --> 00:25:38,870
Yeah, like.

668
00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:41,806
Sus. Yeah,
I feel like that's an old one now.

669
00:25:41,806 --> 00:25:45,277
I know, but that was an old one. So,

670
00:25:46,378 --> 00:25:47,279
What,

671
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,748
you don't get down with the Liberty
toilet?

672
00:25:49,748 --> 00:25:53,318
Ohio. That's Riz. No, Riz.

673
00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:56,087
I try to think back to
when I was in high school.

674
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,090
Like, did we have equivalent nonsense.

675
00:25:59,357 --> 00:26:00,859
Like we said, that's fair.

676
00:26:00,859 --> 00:26:02,661
I remember the first time I saw the guy

677
00:26:02,661 --> 00:26:06,064
at the bus stop, the kid car drove by
and I was like, that car was fat.

678
00:26:06,431 --> 00:26:08,466
And I was like, I'm processing.

679
00:26:08,466 --> 00:26:11,503
Like, is a how is this car overweight?

680
00:26:11,536 --> 00:26:14,072
Like, what's going on? Is it fat?

681
00:26:14,072 --> 00:26:16,942
I don't remember, like slang words
that we use for some reason.

682
00:26:16,942 --> 00:26:18,843
I have to say really cool.

683
00:26:18,843 --> 00:26:20,745
We used to say, oh, that's mad cool.

684
00:26:20,745 --> 00:26:23,548
But then when I got to New Hampshire,
everyone was like, oh, that's wicked cool.

685
00:26:23,548 --> 00:26:24,616
Wicked cool. Yeah, yeah.

686
00:26:24,616 --> 00:26:26,551
And they thought it was funny
that I would say Mad Cool,

687
00:26:27,619 --> 00:26:29,454
I don't know.

688
00:26:29,454 --> 00:26:31,957
Yeah, I can even think of other

689
00:26:31,957 --> 00:26:34,593
slang words from my childhood.

690
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:36,962
That I remember the day I heard Fat.

691
00:26:36,962 --> 00:26:38,964
Dope.

692
00:26:38,964 --> 00:26:40,832
Yeah, pretty hot and tempting.

693
00:26:40,832 --> 00:26:42,734
That was on, rush hour. Oh, is that what?

694
00:26:42,734 --> 00:26:44,769
That's pretty hot and tempting.

695
00:26:44,769 --> 00:26:45,670
Fat didn't know.

696
00:26:45,670 --> 00:26:48,673
That's
what I thought was kind of like Fish Peak.

697
00:26:49,207 --> 00:26:52,043
No, I think it was pretty hot
and tempting.

698
00:26:52,043 --> 00:26:53,244
Okay. That fat?

699
00:26:53,244 --> 00:26:55,847
Yeah. Like you teaching me
the the lingo. Now you. Learn.

700
00:26:55,847 --> 00:26:58,216
Write these down.
Now I'm going to have to.

701
00:26:58,216 --> 00:27:01,186
But back to Erica and home to home.

702
00:27:01,186 --> 00:27:03,355
And then we'll talk Cape Cod
because I love Cape Cod.

703
00:27:03,355 --> 00:27:03,888
Me too.

704
00:27:03,888 --> 00:27:05,757
So, Erica, I can't thank you enough.

705
00:27:05,757 --> 00:27:07,592
And we're going to talk about home
to home.

706
00:27:07,592 --> 00:27:08,893
Check out that website. Yes.

707
00:27:08,893 --> 00:27:12,797
Erica was the first person I worked with
in the chamber.

708
00:27:13,365 --> 00:27:14,332
Nice. Yeah.

709
00:27:14,332 --> 00:27:16,401
I really appreciate her.

710
00:27:16,401 --> 00:27:18,436
Took a. Chance on. You. She did?

711
00:27:18,436 --> 00:27:19,471
I mean, I think

712
00:27:20,438 --> 00:27:21,373
she knew that I

713
00:27:21,373 --> 00:27:24,376
would do a good job
just from talking to me,

714
00:27:24,476 --> 00:27:28,213
but she had no idea because I had done
no work for anyone in West Hartford.

715
00:27:29,214 --> 00:27:30,515
And it turned out great.

716
00:27:30,515 --> 00:27:31,583
And it was cool because.

717
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,752
So she took the company over from her mom,

718
00:27:33,752 --> 00:27:36,721
and they had this logo
that's really outdated.

719
00:27:37,022 --> 00:27:40,025
But she wanted to, you know, keep it.

720
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,461
Within the heart of the logo.

721
00:27:43,461 --> 00:27:44,562
To honor her mother.

722
00:27:44,562 --> 00:27:44,829
And, you.

723
00:27:44,829 --> 00:27:49,134
Know, she kept the colors and like, the
idea of the house and this, like, heart

724
00:27:50,602 --> 00:27:52,203
situation and,

725
00:27:52,203 --> 00:27:56,074
And, and I like the two ages
that look like two houses.

726
00:27:56,074 --> 00:28:00,378
I saw you tweaking video
tweak, twerking or tweaking.

727
00:28:00,578 --> 00:28:03,181
To. I don't know, you're talking
about tweaking for sure.

728
00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:04,182
I don't think I would be twerking.

729
00:28:05,884 --> 00:28:07,986
To tweaking the video logo.

730
00:28:07,986 --> 00:28:11,456
It said I got professional design,
photography, tweaking logos.

731
00:28:11,556 --> 00:28:12,590
Come on. Of course.

732
00:28:12,590 --> 00:28:14,993
My website. Is bold. It's in bold too.

733
00:28:14,993 --> 00:28:15,694
These are all bold.

734
00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:17,495
I got I got the bold words.

735
00:28:17,495 --> 00:28:20,665
I got the headline. Okay, I mean cool.

736
00:28:20,665 --> 00:28:23,702
Yeah, I do tweak the logos
I guess either redesign them fully,

737
00:28:24,002 --> 00:28:28,506
but I mean you guys redid your logo
and it wasn't a redo, it was a tweak.

738
00:28:29,007 --> 00:28:31,810
Hey Dave, she shout out to Dave.

739
00:28:31,810 --> 00:28:33,845

My aunt and uncle
have a house in Brewster.

754
00:29:02,207 --> 00:29:05,210
And they have, I think, since like 2001.

755
00:29:05,710 --> 00:29:07,579
And we just go there every summer

756
00:29:08,813 --> 00:29:09,848
hang out with my cousins.

757
00:29:09,848 --> 00:29:11,483
We have a huge 4th of July party.

So what do you go to?

768
00:29:30,902 --> 00:29:32,403
We go to Craig Ville beach.

769
00:29:32,403 --> 00:29:35,173
Is that a bay beach? Ooh.

770
00:29:35,173 --> 00:29:35,940
Like on the bay.

771
00:29:35,940 --> 00:29:38,443
Buzzards Bay. Yeah. It's bay. No waves.

772
00:29:38,443 --> 00:29:39,778
Is there? Bay.

773
00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:42,247
Yeah, there's there's waves.

774
00:29:42,247 --> 00:29:45,183
So there's a way. So we're in the bottom.

775
00:29:45,183 --> 00:29:46,618
So like is it the not it side.

776
00:29:46,618 --> 00:29:49,954
Because like we'll go to north the beach
for like the waves the big waves.

777
00:29:50,822 --> 00:29:53,758
That that has to
be bust bicep side right. No.

00:29:55,059 --> 00:29:55,226
Yeah.

779
00:29:55,226 --> 00:29:56,394
Yeah. It looks. Like this.

780
00:29:56,394 --> 00:29:58,830
This is ocean. This is Bay. Yeah.

781
00:29:58,830 --> 00:30:02,066
So when we're in Brewster
we go to Lynell Landing which is Bay,

782
00:30:02,066 --> 00:30:03,668
which is part of like ski beach. Yeah.

783
00:30:03,668 --> 00:30:06,671
Or like the Brewster Flats
where, like, the low tide goes out.

784
00:30:06,671 --> 00:30:07,772
Okay. And you can.

785
00:30:07,772 --> 00:30:09,908
Walk all the way out.
I've done that. I've done that. Okay.

786
00:30:09,908 --> 00:30:12,343
We try to do that
like every day. You look for seals or. No.

787
00:30:12,343 --> 00:30:15,213
Is that something. Else
at Nauset on the beach?

788
00:30:15,213 --> 00:30:17,882
Beach? The wave beach? Yep.

789
00:30:17,882 --> 00:30:20,418
You can see
seals. We've seen sharks. Whoa.

790
00:30:20,418 --> 00:30:22,187
We don't really go swimming anymore.

791
00:30:22,187 --> 00:30:25,490
That part, we'll go in a little bit,
especially during low tide.

792
00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:27,725
But, yeah, it's pretty scary.

793
00:30:27,725 --> 00:30:29,627
We stick surf lessons there.

794
00:30:29,627 --> 00:30:31,262
So we were out there looking like seals

795
00:30:33,198 --> 00:30:34,232
in the in the wetsuit.

796
00:30:34,232 --> 00:30:36,601
You know that water is cold.

797
00:30:36,601 --> 00:30:38,703
It is pretty chilly. It's pretty chilly.
But I love it.

798
00:30:38,703 --> 00:30:40,872
I do too.

799
00:30:40,872 --> 00:30:41,406
I think I do.

800
00:30:41,406 --> 00:30:45,043
A road race is their road race, Cape Cod,
five K in Brewster.

801
00:30:45,043 --> 00:30:48,112

Well, this is what.

803

Is there a downtown walking area
with like ducks in the window.

804
00:30:54,786 --> 00:30:57,121
Is that a store in Brewster?
Maybe you think of Chatham.

805
00:30:57,121 --> 00:30:58,156
I think that's Chatham.

806
00:30:58,156 --> 00:31:00,091
I always confuse the two downtown.

807
00:31:00,091 --> 00:31:01,292
You're right.

808
00:31:01,292 --> 00:31:04,128
You're right. You're exactly right at.

809
00:31:04,128 --> 00:31:05,463
The races, too.

810
00:31:05,463 --> 00:31:07,866
And that's
where the races. Darn it. Brewster.

811

Is there, a coffees in Brewster?

813
00:31:13,238 --> 00:31:16,174
I don't know if it's in Brewster
or Orleans, but it's quite close.

814
00:31:16,174 --> 00:31:17,408
Yeah.

815
00:31:17,408 --> 00:31:19,444
Brewster has, like, the Brewster
General store.

816
00:31:19,444 --> 00:31:21,312
Colby's ice cream.

817
00:31:23,214 --> 00:31:24,182
We go to Four Seas.

818
00:31:24,182 --> 00:31:25,750
Ice cream horses.

819
00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:27,051
JFK used to go there.

820
00:31:27,051 --> 00:31:29,387
Taylor Swift has been there for seas.

821
00:31:29,387 --> 00:31:30,555
Yeah. You have to go this summer.

822
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:32,790
Go to Fauci's

823
00:31:32,790 --> 00:31:35,493
ice cream cafe pool.

824
00:31:35,493 --> 00:31:38,062
And then you got to go to the country
store, also known as

825
00:31:38,062 --> 00:31:41,232
Penny Candy, 1865 country.

826
00:31:41,232 --> 00:31:43,434
Store, general store than what it.

827
00:31:43,434 --> 00:31:44,202
Is. No.

828
00:31:44,202 --> 00:31:44,869
Totally different.

829
00:31:44,869 --> 00:31:47,305
Yeah. This is in Centerville. Okay.

830
00:31:47,305 --> 00:31:49,774
So right around the corner,
it's like we the trifecta.

831
00:31:49,774 --> 00:31:51,309
We go to the park.

832
00:31:51,309 --> 00:31:52,710
Centerville library.

833
00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:55,380
Cute. Thrifty niche.

834
00:31:55,380 --> 00:31:56,047
Four seas ice.

835
00:31:56,047 --> 00:31:59,584
Cream, thrifty niche, antique
like oh, I love it's like a vintage.

836
00:31:59,584 --> 00:32:01,619
Like it's in the basement of a church.

837
00:32:01,619 --> 00:32:03,755
Oh, that's one of my favorite things.
I'm probably wearing something thrifty.

838
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:06,057
Niche now.
Maybe my pants. I love. For socks.

839
00:32:06,057 --> 00:32:07,392
Oh, I love antique stores.

840
00:32:07,392 --> 00:32:09,394
I love it. All about it.

841
00:32:09,394 --> 00:32:11,629
You'll love the thrifty niche.
Tell him I sent you.

842
00:32:11,629 --> 00:32:13,231
You might see a friend's,
a fanny sticker in there.

843
00:32:13,231 --> 00:32:14,165
Okay. Or some friends.

844
00:32:14,165 --> 00:32:16,367
A few. Teas everywhere.

845
00:32:16,367 --> 00:32:19,971
I have the magnet on my car
and I feel like I'm part of a cool club.

846
00:32:20,204 --> 00:32:21,139
You're in.

847
00:32:21,139 --> 00:32:23,708
Have cops
pulled you over since you got the magnet?

848
00:32:23,708 --> 00:32:26,711
No, I'm trying to tell you
people be a good friend.

849
00:32:26,911 --> 00:32:28,713
Cops don't pull over good friends.

850
00:32:28,713 --> 00:32:34,285
Yeah, I guess the last time I got pulled
over was when I was in New Hampshire

851
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:36,721
for going too fast.

852
00:32:36,721 --> 00:32:38,323
They said,

853
00:32:38,323 --> 00:32:39,390
where are you going so quickly?

854
00:32:39,390 --> 00:32:42,427
And I was like, the big bean,
which was a famous, like, breakfast place.

855
00:32:42,427 --> 00:32:44,095
And that was like,
it closes in like 30 minutes.

856
00:32:44,095 --> 00:32:45,930
He goes, okay,
I understand, just slow down.

857
00:32:45,930 --> 00:32:46,898
Oh, cool. See?

858
00:32:46,898 --> 00:32:48,199
Honesty works. Yeah.

859
00:32:48,199 --> 00:32:50,969
I'm sorry,
I just had to make brunch. Yeah.

860
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:53,004
He understood. Everyone loved that place.

861
00:32:53,004 --> 00:32:54,405
So blue jeans.

862
00:32:54,405 --> 00:32:57,275
All right. All this teacher talk.

863
00:32:57,275 --> 00:32:59,911
Do you have a favorite teacher? Yes.

864
00:32:59,911 --> 00:33:02,080
I have a story. About your dad.

865
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:02,780
Well, I feel like.

866
00:33:02,780 --> 00:33:03,648
See your mom.

867
00:33:03,648 --> 00:33:05,750
Well, my parents were never my teacher.

868
00:33:05,750 --> 00:33:07,785
Teacher, teachers.

869
00:33:07,785 --> 00:33:09,053
What did your mom teach?

870
00:33:09,053 --> 00:33:10,188
If you know, my master.

871
00:33:10,188 --> 00:33:11,756
Teaches pre-K right now.

872
00:33:11,756 --> 00:33:13,224
She's still teaching. Yeah.

873
00:33:13,224 --> 00:33:14,959
How many years of shit?

874
00:33:14,959 --> 00:33:17,595
I'm not sure. Because she stopped.

875
00:33:17,595 --> 00:33:18,629
Pregnancy, stopped, and.

876
00:33:18,629 --> 00:33:20,565
Yeah, she stopped when we were in school.

877
00:33:20,565 --> 00:33:23,234
But she did like the best thing,
which was like mostly from home,

878
00:33:23,234 --> 00:33:25,737
which is crazy
because there's really no remote jobs in.

879
00:33:25,737 --> 00:33:27,438
Yeah,
but that was when I got the video tape.

880
00:33:27,438 --> 00:33:30,875
Popped it in. Wow.
But she's at no Webster.

881
00:33:31,075 --> 00:33:31,442
Okay.

882
00:33:32,810 --> 00:33:33,077
All right.

883
00:33:33,077 --> 00:33:34,379
Sorry to cut you off.

884
00:33:34,379 --> 00:33:35,880
Favorite teacher and.

885
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,583
Story? Story. Okay,

886
00:33:38,583 --> 00:33:40,585
so I worked at North

887
00:33:40,585 --> 00:33:43,588
Felt two years ago, which is where
I went to elementary school.

888
00:33:43,654 --> 00:33:44,355
I love it.

889
00:33:44,355 --> 00:33:48,292
One of my favorite teachers,
Johnny Greenfield, is still there.

890
00:33:48,726 --> 00:33:52,397
And so then I got to be like,

891
00:33:52,397 --> 00:33:54,499
so she was my favorite
one of my favorite teachers in school.

892
00:33:54,499 --> 00:33:58,870
And then I got to be like her
colleague, her best friend, and like,

893
00:33:59,070 --> 00:34:00,505
I didn't have a classroom

894
00:34:00,505 --> 00:34:02,940
when I was there because I was like
with resources and stuff.

895
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:05,843
So I put my bag in her room.
I ate lunch with her.

896
00:34:05,843 --> 00:34:07,512
I was like her. She was my home base.

897
00:34:07,512 --> 00:34:11,015
We made like music videos
with the kids to like, do like create

898
00:34:11,015 --> 00:34:12,150
a few creative projects.

899
00:34:12,150 --> 00:34:14,752
And we had a really good time.
That's so cool.

900
00:34:14,752 --> 00:34:17,455
I still hang out
with Greenfield. Greenfield? Yeah.

901
00:34:18,456 --> 00:34:19,157
What minute are we.

902
00:34:19,157 --> 00:34:21,826
So I don't know, Greenfield.

903
00:34:21,826 --> 00:34:24,829
I 3434.

904
00:34:25,029 --> 00:34:27,331
What's your first name? Joni.

905
00:34:27,331 --> 00:34:30,334
I'm going to send her email
through the public schools.

906
00:34:30,368 --> 00:34:30,802
Yeah.

907
00:34:30,802 --> 00:34:32,270
Joni Greenfield. Yeah.

908
00:34:32,270 --> 00:34:35,039
Minute 34, shout. Out at Northfield.

909
00:34:35,039 --> 00:34:36,808
But she wasn't my second grade teacher.

910
00:34:36,808 --> 00:34:40,845
She was actually the job I had at North
Felt was instructional para

911
00:34:41,345 --> 00:34:44,215
when I was in kindergarten.

912
00:34:44,215 --> 00:34:46,384
And then. So I'm the oldest of three.

913
00:34:46,384 --> 00:34:49,587
And so for now,
I felt like my parents never left

914
00:34:49,587 --> 00:34:53,624
nor felt until, I don't know, 23.

915
00:34:53,624 --> 00:34:55,760
I'm like, I don't know for ten years.

916
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:56,961
So they knew us well.

917
00:34:56,961 --> 00:34:57,662
Oh yeah.

918
00:34:57,662 --> 00:35:01,532
So my mom ended up helping her
get her teaching license.

919
00:35:01,933 --> 00:35:04,735
And so we always stayed close with her
because her mom, my mom and her

920
00:35:04,735 --> 00:35:05,670
stayed friends.

921
00:35:05,670 --> 00:35:07,171
And, you know,

922
00:35:07,171 --> 00:35:09,440
she's just like one of those people
who makes you feel really special.

923
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:10,441
Like you're walking in the hallway.

924
00:35:10,441 --> 00:35:11,008
She'd be like.

925
00:35:11,008 --> 00:35:14,479
And leave the luchi. Yeah,
I like to, yeah.

926
00:35:14,612 --> 00:35:16,180
You know, you everyone. Like a VIP.

927
00:35:16,180 --> 00:35:18,649
That's exactly how she did it. Yeah.

928
00:35:18,649 --> 00:35:19,250
So it always.

929
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:21,352
I can relate. I'm the oldest of three.

930
00:35:21,352 --> 00:35:24,255
I think I taught at
the same elementary school that I went to.

931
00:35:24,255 --> 00:35:26,691
Really? In Waterbury,
Connecticut. Kingsbury school?

932
00:35:26,691 --> 00:35:27,391
Yeah. You went to.

933
00:35:27,391 --> 00:35:28,359
You lived in Waterbury.

934
00:35:28,359 --> 00:35:31,863
Mrs. Jarreau, my fifth grade teacher,
became the principal who hired me

935
00:35:32,096 --> 00:35:33,865
to teach third. Wow. How cool.

936
00:35:33,865 --> 00:35:36,134
She was my favorite teacher. Yeah.

937
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:40,138
But then there was a couple colleagues
that still teachers that were still there.

938
00:35:40,471 --> 00:35:42,373
Yeah. I talked about it with Victor.

939
00:35:42,373 --> 00:35:43,608
Victor knows. Ask her.

940
00:35:43,608 --> 00:35:44,942
Ask Victor next time. Okay.

941
00:35:44,942 --> 00:35:47,078
Rose wise. I talk to Victor all the time.

942
00:35:47,078 --> 00:35:48,012
Rose wise

943
00:35:49,213 --> 00:35:49,947
oh, we got lots.

944
00:35:49,947 --> 00:35:52,383
And Victor, speaking of which,
is gonna send Victor a selfie.

945
00:35:52,383 --> 00:35:53,851
Okay, then. We'll add this to the.

946
00:35:53,851 --> 00:35:56,254
He'll be jealous.

947
00:35:56,254 --> 00:35:57,755
Does he even know?

948
00:35:57,755 --> 00:36:00,758
No. No, it's,

949
00:36:00,791 --> 00:36:02,760
Victor.

950
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,096
I switched all my banking over to me
because of Victor.

951
00:36:05,096 --> 00:36:07,031
Nice.

952
00:36:07,031 --> 00:36:08,199
Send it to Victor.

953
00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:10,201
We'll send it to Victor will.
And then we'll send.

954
00:36:10,201 --> 00:36:13,171
Some of my friends up with NBT now

955
00:36:13,871 --> 00:36:16,874
to kind of support our fellow chamber.

956
00:36:17,642 --> 00:36:19,744
Yeah. Friends.

957
00:36:19,744 --> 00:36:20,011
Friends.

958
00:36:20,011 --> 00:36:22,013
Ifeanyi has an account at MT.

959
00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:23,281
Yep. Cool.

960
00:36:23,281 --> 00:36:26,284
And people's and American Eagle. So

961
00:36:27,652 --> 00:36:29,554
don't tell Victor that now.

962
00:36:29,554 --> 00:36:32,223
He'll, he'll probably watch this episode.

963
00:36:32,223 --> 00:36:32,490
All right.

964
00:36:32,490 --> 00:36:33,391
What makes Victor a good.

965
00:36:33,391 --> 00:36:35,493
Hey, what's the deal with you and Victor?

966
00:36:35,493 --> 00:36:36,494
Every event.

967
00:36:36,494 --> 00:36:38,763
Is that a thing? Yeah.
You get a picture. Together, so.

968
00:36:38,763 --> 00:36:40,665
Okay, so there's, like, a jet lag, right?
Okay.

969
00:36:40,665 --> 00:36:42,633
It's a joke.
So it has to be a running thing.

970
00:36:42,633 --> 00:36:43,434
When I just started

971
00:36:43,434 --> 00:36:47,171
going to the chamber, like, Chris Conway
took a picture of Victor and I. Yep.

972
00:36:47,305 --> 00:36:47,972
And then, like,

973
00:36:47,972 --> 00:36:50,141
the next event, he happened to take
a picture of the two of us,

974
00:36:50,141 --> 00:36:51,842
and then he's like,
oh, and every event after that,

975
00:36:51,842 --> 00:36:53,878
he was like, oh, well,
now I need a picture of you guys.

976
00:36:53,878 --> 00:36:56,314
So now every event we go to, even
Chris isn't there.

977
00:36:56,314 --> 00:36:58,983
We'll take a picture and send it to him.

978
00:36:58,983 --> 00:37:02,253
So I feel like at some event he's
going to have to do a slideshow of us,

979
00:37:02,253 --> 00:37:04,855
but we make sure we stay on the same side
every time. Nice.

980
00:37:04,855 --> 00:37:07,291
Yeah. So it's just turn into it's funny,
it's funny, funny.

981
00:37:07,291 --> 00:37:09,227
I love that I've noticed that. Yeah.

982
00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:11,195
I'm like, do these guys again? Yeah.

983
00:37:11,195 --> 00:37:14,765
And you get the slides
like the real for the Christmas video

984
00:37:14,765 --> 00:37:19,503
I didn't, I couldn't make I forgot why,
but you were like oh there's alien Victor.

985
00:37:19,503 --> 00:37:20,071
Yeah.

986
00:37:20,071 --> 00:37:23,040
If you look up NBT on Google.

987
00:37:23,507 --> 00:37:26,510
So I like I love doing Google reviews.
Yeah.

988
00:37:26,711 --> 00:37:29,780
Because I wanted to get to like level
ten reviewer, which Avi did too.

989
00:37:29,780 --> 00:37:31,649
And we connected on this. Yeah.
What do you do.

990
00:37:31,649 --> 00:37:34,552
What does that mean.
So like every table. Review.

991
00:37:34,552 --> 00:37:36,053
This is like the nerdiest thing I do.

992
00:37:36,053 --> 00:37:36,354
Hold on.

993
00:37:36,354 --> 00:37:39,257
Let me pull up my Google Maps
so I can show you how crazy this.

994
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:42,126
So every time,

995
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:45,129
someone recommend something to me,
I like, save it.

996
00:37:45,129 --> 00:37:46,931
See all those dots?
Those are all things I've saved.

997
00:37:46,931 --> 00:37:49,033
If I go to New York City,
which is when I started it.

998
00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:56,607
I like.

999
00:37:56,607 --> 00:37:58,209
Those are Google reviews that you put. In.

1000
00:37:58,209 --> 00:38:00,244
So those are all places and places
that. You've been.

1001
00:38:00,244 --> 00:38:02,747
And or wanted to go to and haven't been.

1002
00:38:02,747 --> 00:38:04,982
Hearts are places I love.

1003
00:38:04,982 --> 00:38:06,484
So you've been.

1004
00:38:06,484 --> 00:38:07,618
The hard right places.

1005
00:38:07,618 --> 00:38:09,253
Okay, I haven't changed all of them.

1006
00:38:09,253 --> 00:38:12,790
But anyway, you can review places
like if you go somewhere.

1007
00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:16,794
I always have pretty nice reviews
unless there's really something wrong.

1008
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:19,397
And then like everything you contribute
you get points

1009
00:38:19,397 --> 00:38:22,500
and then you go up
in like the rankings of Google reviewer.

1010
00:38:22,833 --> 00:38:25,202
So I was like I want to know what happens
when you get to level ten.

1011
00:38:25,202 --> 00:38:27,305
And I was like told Erica about this.

1012
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:29,340
And she was like,
oh my gosh, are these the same?

1013
00:38:29,340 --> 00:38:31,142
And he's at level
nine and I'm at level four.

1014
00:38:31,142 --> 00:38:32,743
And I was like, what?

1015
00:38:32,743 --> 00:38:35,513
So I he texted me like, I made level ten.

1016
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:37,815
Nothing happened. To it.

1017
00:38:37,815 --> 00:38:41,519
Nothing like, I mean,
I thought they'd send him something like

1018
00:38:42,153 --> 00:38:44,955
I thought like you would get invited
to some special Google conference

1019
00:38:44,955 --> 00:38:46,724
cause
it's really hard to get to level ten.

1020
00:38:46,724 --> 00:38:47,458
How many.

1021
00:38:47,458 --> 00:38:49,927
Do you look up. Reviews
you do think you have to make to.

1022
00:38:49,927 --> 00:38:51,862
Get it obvious? Basically.

1023
00:38:51,862 --> 00:38:53,097
Anywhere it'll tell you.

1024
00:38:53,097 --> 00:38:55,833
West Hartford Abby has reviewed it.

1025
00:38:55,833 --> 00:38:57,535
I tells you how many reviews?

1026
00:38:57,535 --> 00:38:59,770
No, that's a good move.
I've noticed that, though.

1027
00:38:59,770 --> 00:39:02,373
Eric Bergen's good for this.
Does he do that too?

1028
00:39:02,373 --> 00:39:05,710
No, he does it on this friends
and family of West Hartford page.

1029
00:39:05,843 --> 00:39:08,412
When someone asks a recommendation,
he does.

1030
00:39:08,412 --> 00:39:10,681
He's he's good to like.

1031
00:39:10,681 --> 00:39:12,183
I feel like you're staying.

1032
00:39:12,183 --> 00:39:14,618
I don't want to say relevant,
but you're getting your name out there

1033
00:39:14,618 --> 00:39:17,621
and he's
he always offers something nice to say.

1034
00:39:17,688 --> 00:39:20,091
So it looks like, hey, he's a good guy.

1035
00:39:20,091 --> 00:39:23,094
He's making good suggestions
and good recommendations.

1036
00:39:23,527 --> 00:39:27,965
Yes, 32,123 contributions.

1037
00:39:28,466 --> 00:39:33,904
So he is 32,000 reviews on Google
Contributions, which includes pictures.

1038
00:39:33,904 --> 00:39:37,174
Take some pictures,
just pictures and reviews.

1039
00:39:37,408 --> 00:39:40,144
32,000. Yeah, I've never done anything 30.

1040
00:39:40,144 --> 00:39:40,778
2000 I

1041
00:39:40,778 --> 00:39:42,913
literally if you look up anywhere in West
Hartford,

1042
00:39:42,913 --> 00:39:44,882
you can see
Abby's review and I really trust that.

1043
00:39:46,183 --> 00:39:49,186
Has you ever given a bad review

1044
00:39:49,353 --> 00:39:49,820
or does he.

1045
00:39:49,820 --> 00:39:52,156
Choose giving all five stars?

1046
00:39:52,156 --> 00:39:53,057
Well, he.

1047
00:39:53,057 --> 00:39:55,159
It's I don't think. It's
nice to say don't say nothing at all.

1048
00:39:55,159 --> 00:39:57,161
Is that his. Yeah,

1049
00:39:57,161 --> 00:39:57,695
I don't know.

1050
00:39:57,695 --> 00:40:00,197
Because once a Google reviews out there
there's no turning back.

1051
00:40:00,197 --> 00:40:01,499
You can't you can.

1052
00:40:01,499 --> 00:40:03,300
I would never do something out of spite.

1053
00:40:03,300 --> 00:40:07,371
But there was one time
I did leave like, a three star review

1054
00:40:07,371 --> 00:40:11,809
because my sister's celiac
and we got to go salads.

1055
00:40:11,809 --> 00:40:13,811
And then there was bread crumbs on it,

1056
00:40:13,811 --> 00:40:16,814
and there was a sticker on it
that checked off gluten free.

1057
00:40:16,814 --> 00:40:19,350
And now she's like, are these gluten free

1058
00:40:19,350 --> 00:40:21,152
croutons? And I was like,
I don't know what I called the restaurant.

1059
00:40:21,152 --> 00:40:22,853
They're like, no, we don't have that.

1060
00:40:22,853 --> 00:40:24,522
So like they said, she's like,
and you only.

1061
00:40:24,522 --> 00:40:25,523
Gave them a three.

1062
00:40:25,523 --> 00:40:27,124
That's super nice. I know. We'll.

1063
00:40:27,124 --> 00:40:28,993
Show a game a negative three.

1064
00:40:28,993 --> 00:40:31,028
Their food had always
been trying to kill people.

1065
00:40:31,028 --> 00:40:32,630
I mean she could get really sick.

1066
00:40:32,630 --> 00:40:35,099
So I was like, that's not cool.

1067
00:40:35,099 --> 00:40:37,001
So that was really the only time.

1068
00:40:37,001 --> 00:40:38,102
Yeah, I just talked.

1069
00:40:38,102 --> 00:40:40,805
Sally and Bob's Google
reviews are all positive.

1070
00:40:40,805 --> 00:40:41,038
Yeah.

1071
00:40:41,038 --> 00:40:43,441
Anthony's abatement, our last guest.

1072
00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:45,342
Oh, positive. Google reviews.

1073
00:40:45,342 --> 00:40:46,110
I got to start Google.

1074
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:47,611
Reviewing mineral positive.

1075
00:40:47,611 --> 00:40:49,580
So far so good kit.

1076
00:40:49,580 --> 00:40:51,882
I think I've like seven. Nonprofits
get a Google review.

1077
00:40:51,882 --> 00:40:54,351
Do you have a Google business page?
Do I have to set that up?

1078
00:40:54,351 --> 00:40:57,988
You do have to get a Google Business
page to get Google reviews.

1079
00:41:00,090 --> 00:41:01,959
I might have that Google.

1080
00:41:01,959 --> 00:41:04,361
Business page business. I think you do.

1081
00:41:04,361 --> 00:41:05,596
I think I do too.

1082
00:41:05,596 --> 00:41:08,766
It's not good because I think I set it up
like ten years ago.

1083
00:41:09,934 --> 00:41:10,634
Funniest thing.

1084
00:41:10,634 --> 00:41:13,637
Though, this part for Matt. Matt

1085
00:41:14,038 --> 00:41:17,041
Google reviews buddy page Matt

1086
00:41:17,808 --> 00:41:20,544
Lake George,

1087
00:41:20,544 --> 00:41:23,747
Monte Carlo,
where we're talking about Google reviews

1088
00:41:23,747 --> 00:41:27,451
and the host comes over and goes,
oh, you want to see a funny Google review?

1089
00:41:27,451 --> 00:41:28,819
Look up this one.

1090
00:41:28,819 --> 00:41:31,388
It's called like Bob's Birthday

1091
00:41:31,388 --> 00:41:32,389
and like.

1092
00:41:32,389 --> 00:41:34,959
I don't establishment. Monte
Carlo was the restaurant.

1093
00:41:34,959 --> 00:41:36,360
Bob's birthday was.

1094
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,729
This woman was waiting

1095
00:41:38,729 --> 00:41:42,199
and they, like, put her in the corner
and Bob's birthday shows up.

1096
00:41:42,199 --> 00:41:45,769
And she was like comparing her experience
to watching Bob's birthday.

1097
00:41:46,337 --> 00:41:47,805
Bob's birthday was getting everything.

1098
00:41:47,805 --> 00:41:51,175
The waiter went over every minute
to check on them, brought them water.

1099
00:41:51,342 --> 00:41:53,911
She sat there for ten minutes,
didn't get anything,

1100
00:41:53,911 --> 00:41:56,213
and it was just like a compare
and contrast of Bob's birthday.

1101
00:41:56,213 --> 00:41:59,683
And the hostess and my daughters and I and
my wife are just dying like,

1102
00:41:59,683 --> 00:42:00,784
yeah, that's funny.

1103
00:42:00,784 --> 00:42:03,153
I mean, people
people get creative with stuff.

1104
00:42:03,153 --> 00:42:05,389
Yeah, it was pretty good.
It was like a comedy act. Yeah.

1105
00:42:05,389 --> 00:42:06,490
Like Bob's, I.

1106
00:42:06,490 --> 00:42:08,559
Don't know,
that would be a good look at it.

1107
00:42:08,559 --> 00:42:09,093
Yeah.

1108
00:42:09,093 --> 00:42:12,329
Oh, I've heard of, like,
the person like monologue.

1109
00:42:12,329 --> 00:42:14,899
Like typing their review
while watching it. Yeah. Like.

1110
00:42:14,899 --> 00:42:19,003
Well, Bob, they sat me over by a piano
like she was set.

1111
00:42:19,036 --> 00:42:20,905
Yeah. There's a self playing piano,

1112
00:42:21,972 --> 00:42:23,974
that
you put money in and it just plays music.

1113
00:42:23,974 --> 00:42:24,875
And she's really nice.

1114
00:42:24,875 --> 00:42:29,713
And kids, kept playing music,
so she said the piano was in her ear.

1115
00:42:29,713 --> 00:42:32,716
She was all alone.
No service to the piano.

1116
00:42:32,750 --> 00:42:34,919
Oh, they did her dirty,
but it was so funny. Funny?

1117
00:42:34,919 --> 00:42:36,320
I'm gonna look that up.

1118
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:37,354
Oh, it's so funny.

1119
00:42:37,354 --> 00:42:38,789
So, favorite teacher, Mrs.

1120
00:42:38,789 --> 00:42:40,991
Joni Greenfield. Yes.

1121
00:42:40,991 --> 00:42:42,793
All right, another question. Okay.

1122
00:42:42,793 --> 00:42:44,528
I mean, it's a tough one
for a lot of people,

1123
00:42:44,528 --> 00:42:49,934
but I think your favorite restaurant,
or maybe top three, where I.

1124
00:42:49,934 --> 00:42:52,937
Lorna, I know you can say that
I'm going to have a don't mind me.

1125
00:42:52,937 --> 00:42:55,039
I think I'm going to try not to get.

1126
00:42:55,039 --> 00:42:57,174
Get or not. This food.

1127
00:42:57,174 --> 00:42:59,677
Honestly. Come on. Favorite restaurant?

1128
00:43:01,779 --> 00:43:04,348
It's so hard
because I do a couple out of restaurants.

1129
00:43:04,348 --> 00:43:06,550
So I mean,

1130
00:43:06,550 --> 00:43:09,119
I work with three restaurants
and I have to say,

1131
00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:12,423
they are all extremely elite
and delicious.

1132
00:43:12,423 --> 00:43:14,758
Luna obviously. Garlic Mount.

1133
00:43:14,758 --> 00:43:17,795
Lamesa, which is known to be amazing

1134
00:43:18,529 --> 00:43:21,332
and it is love their food.

1135
00:43:21,332 --> 00:43:25,336
And then Naples Pizza in Farmington
is another fave because they're

1136
00:43:25,469 --> 00:43:27,838
they were one of my first clients,
which is called Naples Pizza.

1137
00:43:27,838 --> 00:43:31,909
So I live one exit away and that was
when I first we moved from New Haven.

1138
00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:35,379
So finding a pizza was challenging. Yes.

1139
00:43:35,379 --> 00:43:37,615
So I would drive that Luna's pizza. Yeah.

1140
00:43:37,615 --> 00:43:39,883
Nathan Farmington. Naples. Yeah.

1141
00:43:39,883 --> 00:43:42,920
And Nathan Farmington
High School is having a fundraiser

1142
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,590
and their logos are big F
with, like feathers on it.

1143
00:43:46,590 --> 00:43:46,890
Yeah.

1144
00:43:46,890 --> 00:43:48,559
So I was like, fini f.

1145
00:43:48,559 --> 00:43:50,761
I'm like,
I'm buying a shirt, I'm getting pizza.

1146
00:43:50,761 --> 00:43:52,930
I'm like, I love Naples. This is great.

1147
00:43:52,930 --> 00:43:53,597
They do a great job.

1148
00:43:53,597 --> 00:43:56,367
So something cool about that is.

1149
00:43:56,367 --> 00:44:01,372
So I met their owner, Curt, through
one of my friend's dad's as his friend.

1150
00:44:02,873 --> 00:44:05,009
So I'm like, you know, pitching to him.

1151
00:44:05,009 --> 00:44:09,046
I, I think they're like,
picking between a few people.

1152
00:44:09,046 --> 00:44:12,850
And it ends up that the manager
there was my manager

1153
00:44:12,850 --> 00:44:16,620
when I worked at Wampanoag in high school,
so I had already worked for him for like

1154
00:44:17,588 --> 00:44:18,322
seven years.

1155
00:44:18,322 --> 00:44:21,025
I worked there from high school
all the way through college.

1156
00:44:21,025 --> 00:44:22,693
So it
and he was like one of my favorite people.

1157
00:44:22,693 --> 00:44:24,194
I had ever worked for.

1158
00:44:24,194 --> 00:44:25,262
So you're like, boom, I got the job.

1159
00:44:25,262 --> 00:44:27,197
So I mean, it was easy.
It was just perfect.

1160
00:44:27,197 --> 00:44:30,668
Because going into anything
where you have a monthly client,

1161
00:44:31,135 --> 00:44:34,672
obviously I get to choose who I work for
and work with, but it's

1162
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:37,675
nerve wracking because they can become
a huge part of my life.

1163
00:44:37,675 --> 00:44:42,046
So making sure that the people I work with
are people who make me feel

1164
00:44:42,479 --> 00:44:45,983
happy and good about myself and are,
you know, easy enough

1165
00:44:46,583 --> 00:44:49,753
to work with other than for
is important to me.

1166
00:44:49,753 --> 00:44:52,990
So going into that right off the bat,
I knew it would be a good experience,

1167
00:44:52,990 --> 00:44:53,590
which is cool.

1168
00:44:54,692 --> 00:44:55,325
That's awesome.

1169
00:44:55,325 --> 00:44:58,328
Yeah.

1170
00:44:59,463 --> 00:45:00,097
Naples.

1171
00:45:00,097 --> 00:45:00,898
Luna.

1172
00:45:00,898 --> 00:45:05,536
All right, so just say either
you're at la mesa Luna or Naples.

1173
00:45:05,969 --> 00:45:06,770
One of the three.

1174
00:45:06,770 --> 00:45:09,707
We are I one of the three of your

1175
00:45:09,707 --> 00:45:10,441
restaurants.

1176
00:45:10,441 --> 00:45:13,944
Okay,
you have for dinner guests that are alive.

1177
00:45:13,944 --> 00:45:14,778
Oh, gosh.

1178
00:45:14,778 --> 00:45:17,781
And when we went in our life,

1179
00:45:18,182 --> 00:45:20,184
anybody in the world

1180
00:45:20,184 --> 00:45:22,753
you get for you and for

1181
00:45:22,753 --> 00:45:25,122
three. Okay,

1182
00:45:25,122 --> 00:45:30,761
I would probably do
my mom's dad, Carmen's.

1183
00:45:30,761 --> 00:45:32,529
I never met.

1184
00:45:32,529 --> 00:45:33,864
You out here.

1185
00:45:33,864 --> 00:45:35,833
I I'm going to give you that. Thank you.

1186
00:45:35,833 --> 00:45:37,501
I'll see you.

1187
00:45:37,501 --> 00:45:39,169
Soon. 19th or something.

1188
00:45:39,169 --> 00:45:41,672
Yeah.

1189
00:45:41,672 --> 00:45:44,608
So my grandpa, who I never met for sure,

1190
00:45:44,608 --> 00:45:47,044
he passed away when my mom was like,

1191
00:45:47,044 --> 00:45:50,047

1193
00:45:53,951 --> 00:45:55,419
I know there's a Patrick Feeney out there.

1194
00:45:55,419 --> 00:45:57,888
My grandfather never met him. Yeah,
so that'd be.

1195
00:45:57,888 --> 00:45:58,989
I like that one. Yeah.

1196
00:45:58,989 --> 00:46:03,093
I think that always be on my top four.

1197
00:46:03,861 --> 00:46:09,399
Maybe Taylor Swift t swizzle.

1198
00:46:09,633 --> 00:46:12,603
I can't deny I've been a swiftie
even when it wasn't cool.

1199
00:46:12,836 --> 00:46:15,472
Wow. Yeah. Me and my sister are.

1200
00:46:16,573 --> 00:46:17,608
Still not cool, actually.

1201
00:46:17,608 --> 00:46:18,242
But go ahead.

1202
00:46:18,242 --> 00:46:19,810
Okay. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

1203
00:46:19,810 --> 00:46:21,979
Totally kidding.

1204
00:46:21,979 --> 00:46:25,482
I feel like a lot of second graders
would fight you on that right now.

1205
00:46:25,783 --> 00:46:27,050
13 is my favorite number.

1206
00:46:27,050 --> 00:46:29,153
Yeah, yeah. See,

1207
00:46:29,153 --> 00:46:31,021

the bracelet.

1209
00:46:32,856 --> 00:46:33,624
I've messed up.

1210
00:46:33,624 --> 00:46:36,627

00:46:43,834 --> 00:46:45,369
This is such a hard question.

1214
00:46:45,369 --> 00:46:46,637
Should have sent me this one before.

1215
00:46:46,637 --> 00:46:49,373
Nope. Got a nap just off the rib.

1216
00:46:49,373 --> 00:46:55,345
Honestly,
I would probably want both of my sisters

1217
00:46:55,345 --> 00:46:58,282
to be there because they're really funny
and keep the conversation going.

1218
00:46:58,282 --> 00:47:01,285

a very weird for people now.

00:47:11,128 --> 00:47:11,995

1223
00:47:11,995 --> 00:47:14,832
So I couldn't imagine
not him being there. Yeah, we do that.

1224
00:47:14,832 --> 00:47:16,934

00:52:21,404 --> 00:52:23,640
Oh nice grip. Buddy.

1366
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:24,574
Strong kid.

00:52:24,574 --> 00:52:26,409
He's iron those garlic knots.

1368
00:52:26,409 --> 00:52:28,111
Yeah. You want the garlic sauce?

1369
00:52:28,111 --> 00:52:30,814
Yeah. It's garlic. Not time.

1370
00:52:30,814 --> 00:52:32,816
Yeah. Maybe the ice.

1371
00:52:32,816 --> 00:52:35,452
Going to be anesthesiologist,

00:52:35,452 --> 00:52:37,320

1373
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:38,455
This is good.

1374
00:52:38,455 --> 00:52:41,458
He said chill. That's very important.

1375
00:52:41,691 --> 00:52:42,659
I'm so excited.

00:52:42,659 --> 00:52:45,495

Bye, man.

1396
00:53:28,138 --> 00:53:31,007
Thanks for popping in.

1397
00:53:31,007 --> 00:53:32,242
That was awesome. You made that.

1398
00:53:32,242 --> 00:53:34,511
You made the day so excited.

1399
00:53:34,511 --> 00:53:36,980
Oh, my God, how cute.

1400
00:53:36,980 --> 00:53:39,783
Sorry for that interruption,
but it was well worth it.

1401
00:53:39,783 --> 00:53:41,351
Hey, have a wonderful day.

1402
00:53:41,351 --> 00:53:42,319
I get to see him.

1403
00:53:42,319 --> 00:53:44,020
Like, what could be better than having.

1404
00:53:44,020 --> 00:53:45,855
Oh, I love big

1405
00:53:45,855 --> 00:53:48,692
I. There's pictures
when we just had parent teacher

1406
00:53:48,692 --> 00:53:52,462
conference and, when parents roll in
with a baby, same thing.

1407
00:53:52,462 --> 00:53:54,331
I'm like, come on, give me the baby.

1408
00:53:54,331 --> 00:53:57,334
I got pictures and now I have a picture.

1409
00:53:57,334 --> 00:54:00,737
I have a baby picture of a kid
who's now in second grade.

1410
00:54:00,770 --> 00:54:02,739
Wow, that I might get next year.

1411
00:54:02,739 --> 00:54:04,741
And I was holding him at that age.

1412
00:54:04,741 --> 00:54:05,475
That's so.

1413
00:54:05,475 --> 00:54:06,643
It's weird how that my.

1414
00:54:06,643 --> 00:54:10,547
Dad had grandparents, parents and kids.

1415
00:54:10,614 --> 00:54:11,514
That's wild.

1416
00:54:11,514 --> 00:54:11,748
Yeah.

1417
00:54:11,748 --> 00:54:15,085
In 40 years, of course,
I never hit the point where I.

1418
00:54:15,418 --> 00:54:17,420
I'm not there yet. 21 years. Parent.

1419
00:54:18,521 --> 00:54:21,391
I be like, there's this the do family.

1420
00:54:21,391 --> 00:54:23,560
None of your students have had kids yet?

1421
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,095
Not yet.

1422
00:54:25,095 --> 00:54:26,296
But what was your first year teaching?

1423
00:54:26,296 --> 00:54:30,166
What year actually,
no, I was in 2004, so in Waterbury.

1424
00:54:30,166 --> 00:54:31,301
So I'm kind of lost.

1425
00:54:31,301 --> 00:54:33,737
If it was the same school, I would know
you probably.

1426
00:54:33,737 --> 00:54:34,271
Well.

1427
00:54:34,271 --> 00:54:36,172
So most likely they've had children.

1428
00:54:36,172 --> 00:54:39,042
Oh yeah. They 100% had children by now.

1429
00:54:39,042 --> 00:54:41,144
What? No.

1430
00:54:41,144 --> 00:54:42,445
02I guess 2004.

1431
00:54:42,445 --> 00:54:45,448
They were in what grade? No, no, 2000.

1432
00:54:45,582 --> 00:54:46,883
I think they were born in 2004.

1433
00:54:46,883 --> 00:54:47,951
And I was like, no, no, no, no.

1434
00:54:47,951 --> 00:54:48,952
But they were in, you.

1435
00:54:48,952 --> 00:54:51,921
Know, my guy Drayton Booker, future guest.

1436
00:54:51,921 --> 00:54:53,657
He's my third grade teacher.

1437
00:54:53,657 --> 00:54:55,625
He was in my third grade
class. We're still cool.

1438
00:54:55,625 --> 00:54:57,127
He just had a kid. Yeah.

1439
00:54:57,127 --> 00:54:59,129
Because he would have been. Yeah.

1440
00:54:59,129 --> 00:55:00,230
What grade A do you teach there?

1441
00:55:00,230 --> 00:55:02,732
He he was it my third grader.

1442
00:55:02,732 --> 00:55:04,467
But that was 21 years ago.

1443
00:55:04,467 --> 00:55:05,602
So. Yeah. So that was if.

1444
00:55:05,602 --> 00:55:07,704
He was ten is like 34.

1445
00:55:07,704 --> 00:55:11,941
I know what grade I was in
because like 2001 to 2002,

1446
00:55:11,941 --> 00:55:13,643
I was first grade to second grade.

1447
00:55:14,678 --> 00:55:15,078
Yeah.

1448
00:55:15,078 --> 00:55:17,514
It hasn't 2003 and a second grade
to third grade.

1449
00:55:17,514 --> 00:55:20,550
So my grade always matched the date.

1450
00:55:21,017 --> 00:55:21,751
At the end.

1451
00:55:21,751 --> 00:55:24,120
Yeah. Gotcha.
That's a good way to remember. Know.

1452
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:24,354
Yeah.

1453
00:55:24,354 --> 00:55:28,358
When people talk to me in years
I go my years go September to August.

1454
00:55:28,425 --> 00:55:28,725
Oh yeah.

1455
00:55:28,725 --> 00:55:30,160
Everyone else in the world.

1456
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,529
New year starting January.

1457
00:55:32,529 --> 00:55:34,931
Teachers are year starts.

1458
00:55:34,931 --> 00:55:35,498
School year.

1459
00:55:35,498 --> 00:55:38,435
You're still in school year, year or no.

1460
00:55:38,435 --> 00:55:40,837
No, not as much anymore.

1461
00:55:40,837 --> 00:55:43,573
But yeah, they're like literally.

1462
00:55:43,573 --> 00:55:45,408
Oh my god,

1463
00:55:45,408 --> 00:55:47,610
what year are you? I'm like, oh.

1464
00:55:47,610 --> 00:55:49,346
It's a good question.

1465
00:55:49,346 --> 00:55:50,447
Where were we be forgot?

1466
00:55:50,447 --> 00:55:52,449
Interrupted by the beautiful baby.

1467
00:55:52,449 --> 00:55:54,217
Three keys, three. Keys. Three keys.

1468
00:55:54,217 --> 00:55:55,618
You got a good eye.

1469
00:55:55,618 --> 00:55:58,221
Good. I, I'm original.

1470
00:55:58,221 --> 00:56:01,391
I don't follow the trends,
which could be controversial

1471
00:56:01,391 --> 00:56:04,394
for marketing, but I think it's boring

1472
00:56:04,461 --> 00:56:07,530
because who wants to scroll through
and hear the same song over and over?

1473
00:56:07,530 --> 00:56:10,266
If I heard that song
three times in a row, I'm skipping.

1474
00:56:10,266 --> 00:56:12,569
So the crust has recent.

1475
00:56:12,569 --> 00:56:14,471
Crust has risen. I try not to

1476
00:56:16,206 --> 00:56:18,441
get too inspired by other people.

1477
00:56:18,441 --> 00:56:22,846
Like enough to, you know, stay inspired,
but not so much

1478
00:56:22,846 --> 00:56:26,349
where I'm never copying
anything that anyone does or try not to.

1479
00:56:26,916 --> 00:56:28,818
So creative.

1480
00:56:28,818 --> 00:56:29,953
So when I said original.

1481
00:56:29,953 --> 00:56:32,355
I got good I creative original was that.

1482
00:56:32,355 --> 00:56:33,690
Three yes.

1483
00:56:33,690 --> 00:56:35,024
Creatives in the name?

1484
00:56:35,024 --> 00:56:37,260
Yeah, that goes without. Saying. Yeah.

1485
00:56:37,260 --> 00:56:39,462
Do you feel like they all kind of
go together though?

1486
00:56:39,462 --> 00:56:40,797
All right. Now I got another three keys.

1487
00:56:40,797 --> 00:56:43,800
Three keys to being a big sister
because you have two little sisters.

1488
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:45,168
I'm a big bro to two.

1489
00:56:45,168 --> 00:56:46,870
I have a brother and a sister.

1490
00:56:46,870 --> 00:56:47,971
Three keys.

1491
00:56:47,971 --> 00:56:50,974
Three keys to being
I have to my two younger sisters.

1492
00:56:50,974 --> 00:56:51,508
They're not really.

1493
00:56:51,508 --> 00:56:52,876
So your dad has three girls? He's a girl.

1494
00:56:52,876 --> 00:56:54,844
Dad, dad, shout out to Harry.

1495
00:56:54,844 --> 00:56:56,112
I'm a I'm a girl dad, too.

1496
00:56:58,681 --> 00:56:59,916
Rock.

1497
00:56:59,916 --> 00:57:01,751
Honesty

1498
00:57:01,751 --> 00:57:04,487
and honesty like I.

1499
00:57:04,487 --> 00:57:06,189
But I don't really try to ever.

1500
00:57:06,189 --> 00:57:08,491
All right. Never have, like,
sugarcoated things for them.

1501
00:57:08,491 --> 00:57:11,494
I always try to stay real with
what's going on in my life

1502
00:57:12,295 --> 00:57:14,431
so that they know.

1503
00:57:14,431 --> 00:57:17,400
You know, it's probably gonna something
that could happen to them or something

1504
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,101
they could relate to.

1505
00:57:18,101 --> 00:57:21,771
You know,
I never wanted to fake being happy

1506
00:57:21,771 --> 00:57:24,941
or, you know, I don't know, just.

1507
00:57:24,941 --> 00:57:26,643
Keeping it real. Keeping it real.

1508
00:57:26,643 --> 00:57:29,612
That too they one,

1509
00:57:30,380 --> 00:57:33,283
that I think.

1510
00:57:33,283 --> 00:57:34,551
Let me think.

1511
00:57:34,551 --> 00:57:36,686
What would be a word for this?
What? Humility.

1512
00:57:36,686 --> 00:57:38,288
Be humility. Be the right word.

1513
00:57:38,288 --> 00:57:39,522
Where, like,

1514
00:57:39,522 --> 00:57:41,391
just because I'm older doesn't mean
that I always have

1515
00:57:41,391 --> 00:57:43,226
the best idea that I'm always right.

1516
00:57:43,226 --> 00:57:44,561
I like that one.

1517
00:57:44,561 --> 00:57:45,228
That's really good.

1518
00:57:45,228 --> 00:57:51,434
One is that would that ability for, And

1519
00:57:53,169 --> 00:57:55,205
closeness.

1520
00:57:55,205 --> 00:57:56,339
Just checking in.

1521
00:57:56,339 --> 00:57:58,741
I texted them every single day.

1522
00:57:58,741 --> 00:58:01,110
What's their ages now?

1523
00:58:01,110 --> 00:58:04,080

Yeah, you turn 30.

1532
00:58:18,561 --> 00:58:19,896
Yes, she's meant to be.

1533
00:58:19,896 --> 00:58:21,898
It's meant to be for sure.

1534
00:58:21,898 --> 00:58:23,967
Oh, wow. So you're a big sis? Yes.

1535

We have the weather guy.

00:58:36,179 --> 00:58:39,916
Yes. He is the dad of two of the girls
I went to high school with.

1542
00:58:41,117 --> 00:58:42,585
He lived in the same neighborhood?

1543
00:58:42,585 --> 00:58:45,221
No, not same neighborhood,
but we all went to hall.

1544
00:58:45,221 --> 00:58:48,458
And, What be some good questions
for John Lyons about about his daughters

1545
00:58:48,458 --> 00:58:49,893
or about something.
Come on, give me something.

1546
00:58:49,893 --> 00:58:51,694

00:58:51,694 --> 00:58:53,997
One of his daughters, Foster's dogs.

1548
00:58:53,997 --> 00:58:57,834
And one of them is, like,
very big in the space world

1549
00:58:57,834 --> 00:59:00,837

1550
00:59:00,904 --> 00:59:01,938
Like outer. Space.

00:59:01,938 --> 00:59:03,773
Yes, like outer space.

1552
00:59:03,773 --> 00:59:06,142
Like space or like NASA.

1553
00:59:06,142 --> 00:59:09,145
I'm either.

1554
00:59:10,146 --> 00:59:11,414
Like space for humanity.

1555
00:59:11,414 --> 00:59:12,715
Like sending humans to space.

1556
00:59:12,715 --> 00:59:14,250
That's what she used to do. What?

1557
00:59:14,250 --> 00:59:15,652
But then now
I think she has something else.

1558
00:59:15,652 --> 00:59:18,621
But it's still like.
All right, John Lyons coming up.

1559
00:59:18,621 --> 00:59:19,422
Yeah. Space okay.

1560
00:59:19,422 --> 00:59:22,425
Asking those questions Rich Capela.

1561
00:59:22,692 --> 00:59:23,226
What does he do.

1562
00:59:23,226 --> 00:59:25,595
He was on channel eight for years.

1563
00:59:25,595 --> 00:59:26,195
Don't know that one.

1564
00:59:27,363 --> 00:59:30,366
Christina and Kate from we are in power.

1565
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,338
It's a woman's power Ryan soft wash
connect with him yet Ryan soft.

1566
00:59:35,338 --> 00:59:36,272
What you do.

00:59:36,272 --> 00:59:39,475
He does the power washing houses.

1568
00:59:39,475 --> 00:59:42,045
Car last name is not soft wash. It. Is.

1569
00:59:42,045 --> 00:59:43,413
It is on. His birth certificate.

1570
00:59:43,413 --> 00:59:45,548
No, I'm kidding, it's Ryan McGinnis.

1571
00:59:45,548 --> 00:59:47,984
No, I don't know him,
but that's a cool business.

1572
00:59:47,984 --> 00:59:49,652
I always thought
that'd be super lucrative. Like.

1573
00:59:49,652 --> 00:59:50,219
Good idea.

1574
00:59:50,219 --> 00:59:53,222
Not for me, but for someone. Ben Fuchs.

1575
00:59:53,456 --> 00:59:54,991
No. Fuchs financial.

1576
00:59:54,991 --> 00:59:57,327
You're shocking me
with how many little people I know.

1577
00:59:57,327 --> 00:59:57,827
To be honest.

1578
00:59:57,827 --> 01:00:00,063

1591
01:00:30,426 --> 01:00:30,793
Cool.

1592
01:00:30,793 --> 01:00:33,796

01:00:33,896 --> 01:00:35,665
Going to get the fix on camera.

1594
01:00:35,665 --> 01:00:37,934
Oh cool. Are you going to do the podcast

1595
01:00:37,934 --> 01:00:39,402
As I'm getting the fix. Wow.

01:00:39,402 --> 01:00:42,905
Right over there going to be like
are you both going to be doing it now?

1597
01:00:42,905 --> 01:00:45,775
Probably not. I don't know,

1598
01:00:45,775 --> 01:00:48,177
should I or should I not show them?

1599
01:00:48,177 --> 01:00:51,114
Get the shot into the back on the camera.

1600
01:00:51,114 --> 01:00:53,650
Did you become like big

1601
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:56,653
like un monetized or whatever? Yes.

1602
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,188
YouTube wouldn't allow it.

1603
01:00:59,188 --> 01:01:00,123
You have to, like, censor it.

1604
01:01:00,123 --> 01:01:03,092
So, like a whole bar or something, or

1605
01:01:03,092 --> 01:01:06,596
like the Friends of Fini logo, like, ooh,
I like it's actually kind of funny.

1606
01:01:06,596 --> 01:01:07,130
I like it.

1607
01:01:08,431 --> 01:01:09,432
So we did Favorite Teacher.

1608
01:01:09,432 --> 01:01:12,702
So shout out to Stephania episode 123.

1609
01:01:12,702 --> 01:01:15,705
Do you have a favorite superhero

1610
01:01:15,738 --> 01:01:17,540
that's

1611
01:01:17,540 --> 01:01:18,508
not in superhero?

1612
01:01:18,508 --> 01:01:23,312
I mean, not in particular super powers.

1613
01:01:23,312 --> 01:01:24,280
My cousin's favorite

1614
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,583
superhero is Batman, and so like,
we would always get him Batman.

1615
01:01:27,583 --> 01:01:29,886
Everything growing up.

1616
01:01:29,886 --> 01:01:32,889
So I'll go with Batman.
Batman could answer.

1617
01:01:33,389 --> 01:01:34,991
What was the next ten superpower?

1618
01:01:34,991 --> 01:01:36,292
Superpower?

1619
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:39,295
Okay, made up this superpower once.

1620
01:01:39,696 --> 01:01:44,167
So like it might become real now
because of technology,

1621
01:01:44,901 --> 01:01:48,771
but like human Google brain
like you immediately if anyone asks you

1622
01:01:48,771 --> 01:01:52,375
any question, math, history,
anything like you know the right answer.

1623
01:01:52,375 --> 01:01:53,543
You just got.

1624
01:01:53,543 --> 01:01:55,912
To do this now. Yeah, I like it.

1625
01:01:55,912 --> 01:01:58,448
You just see it.
Google brain, Google brain.

1626
01:01:58,448 --> 01:01:59,315
Wouldn't that be so.

1627
01:01:59,315 --> 01:02:01,050
And that's like every language.

1628
01:02:01,050 --> 01:02:02,752
Oh that's everything. Like you heart.

1629
01:02:02,752 --> 01:02:05,655
Directions. Yeah. Language.
You just know it.

1630
01:02:05,655 --> 01:02:10,293
You just know I mean you wouldn't know
everything because you only know facts.

1631
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:12,595
So like,
there's a lot of life that isn't fact

1632
01:02:13,930 --> 01:02:14,564
I guess.

1633
01:02:14,564 --> 01:02:15,131
Right.

1634
01:02:15,131 --> 01:02:16,265
Like life experience.

1635
01:02:16,265 --> 01:02:19,235
You can't Google that necessarily.

1636
01:02:19,235 --> 01:02:21,537
Like you'd be so smart.

1637
01:02:21,537 --> 01:02:23,005
I like it, it's superpower.

1638
01:02:23,005 --> 01:02:24,874
It is. Right. Intelligence
is a superpower.

1639
01:02:24,874 --> 01:02:27,877
Intelligence
is probably the best superpower.

1640
01:02:28,711 --> 01:02:30,780
So how's it being a dog mom?

1641
01:02:30,780 --> 01:02:32,548
It's amazing. I should have brought her.

1642
01:02:32,548 --> 01:02:35,318
Oh, she would have just sat here.
She's super calm like that.

1643
01:02:35,318 --> 01:02:36,786
Yeah. We never have.

1644
01:02:36,786 --> 01:02:39,489
Had the baby and the, Well,
she kept. Well.

1645
01:02:39,489 --> 01:02:41,190
Did you see my latest reel?

1646
01:02:41,190 --> 01:02:43,059
No. Let's pull it up. Show excited.

1647
01:02:43,059 --> 01:02:44,794
And you started a new thing.

1648
01:02:44,794 --> 01:02:46,829
Do you have an Instagram for your dog?

1649
01:02:46,829 --> 01:02:47,964
No. Okay.

1650
01:02:47,964 --> 01:02:48,865
But she.

1651
01:02:48,865 --> 01:02:51,801
She's now a, Service dog.

1652
01:02:51,801 --> 01:02:52,535
Now she's.

1653
01:02:52,535 --> 01:02:56,038
She's the CPO chief
puppy officer, evolution creative.

1654
01:02:57,140 --> 01:02:57,707
Hi, everyone.

1655
01:02:57,707 --> 01:03:00,710
It's Lola, I'm the CEO puppy officer.

1656
01:03:00,710 --> 01:03:01,978
I'm rooting for you.

1657
01:03:01,978 --> 01:03:03,246
And I'm really busy.

1658
01:03:03,246 --> 01:03:05,481
So I said I would make her some meals.

1659
01:03:05,481 --> 01:03:08,851
I started my day
and I was not quite right,

1660
01:03:09,218 --> 01:03:12,221
so my mom had to stop working
to fix that for me.

1661
01:03:12,855 --> 01:03:15,858
But after she fixed it,
she said, I'll hold it to the mic

1662
01:03:16,325 --> 01:03:19,862
in Farmington and that's a cheese ball
I love cheese.

1663
01:03:20,730 --> 01:03:21,831
Eat pizza.

1664
01:03:21,831 --> 01:03:24,367
And this is our pizza the monster lunch.

1665
01:03:24,367 --> 01:03:25,835
It looks really tasty.

1666
01:03:25,835 --> 01:03:27,436
This is another new dish they have.

1667
01:03:27,436 --> 01:03:29,205
It's morada that's also cheese.

1668
01:03:29,205 --> 01:03:30,573
I'm not expecting. That.

1669
01:03:30,573 --> 01:03:31,908
But she's super brave.

1670
01:03:31,908 --> 01:03:34,577
Hey this is another new dish from Naples.

1671
01:03:34,577 --> 01:03:38,414
And I was kind of tired, so I took a nap
while she ended these photos for them.

1672
01:03:39,215 --> 01:03:40,683
And you should go check out Naples.

1673
01:03:40,683 --> 01:03:42,985
They're really yummy. And good
right there.

1674
01:03:42,985 --> 01:03:45,988
Oh, good. The videos in the whole world.

1675
01:03:46,255 --> 01:03:49,592
I wanted to go outside,
so my mom took me out and I wore mine.

1676
01:03:49,592 --> 01:03:53,930
And this is year plan to make less time
for seafood and that's about it.

1677
01:03:53,930 --> 01:03:57,733
So tune in next time
and we'll see you then. Bye.

1678
01:03:58,367 --> 01:03:59,302
So super cute.

1679
01:03:59,302 --> 01:04:03,272
He's going to start making reals for me
because I don't like being on camera,

1680
01:04:03,272 --> 01:04:06,008
which is super ironic
because he's going to. Voice.

1681
01:04:06,008 --> 01:04:07,677
Me. Oh, boy.

1682
01:04:07,677 --> 01:04:10,012
So it's like, Voice altering.

1683
01:04:10,012 --> 01:04:11,080
Thing. Yeah.

1684
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:12,081
I like it.

1685
01:04:12,081 --> 01:04:13,716
But my friend was like,
how do you come up with that script?

1686
01:04:13,716 --> 01:04:16,652
I was like, I just like winged it.

1687
01:04:16,652 --> 01:04:18,821
That's why I think I sound like a kid

1688
01:04:18,821 --> 01:04:20,623
because I'm just like, you know,
because I.

1689
01:04:20,623 --> 01:04:22,992
He's playing in the bowl,
spilling the water. That's so funny.

1690
01:04:22,992 --> 01:04:25,394
Yeah, she does stuff like that
all the time. She's pretty good.

1691
01:04:26,629 --> 01:04:27,063
I think.

1692
01:04:27,063 --> 01:04:28,898
Send that to me or I'll grab that.

1693
01:04:28,898 --> 01:04:30,433
We'll put it on the podcast.

1694
01:04:30,433 --> 01:04:30,733
Oh yeah.

1695
01:04:30,733 --> 01:04:31,300
We're showing

1696
01:04:31,300 --> 01:04:35,671
I can just send you like the video
instead of it on my Instagram if you want.

1697
01:04:35,938 --> 01:04:37,773
We'll figure it out.
The best way to share it.

1698
01:04:37,773 --> 01:04:39,308
Yeah, it's.

1699
01:04:39,308 --> 01:04:41,611
Any recommendations.

1700
01:04:41,611 --> 01:04:45,248
For. Podcast restaurants, books, movies.

1701
01:04:45,882 --> 01:04:47,850
Books? I'm really into reading.

1702
01:04:47,850 --> 01:04:52,121
I'm reading the, parable of a sower right
now, like Tavia Butler.

1703
01:04:52,822 --> 01:04:55,324
And it's pretty creepy because it's set.

1704
01:04:55,324 --> 01:04:57,093
It starts in 2020.

1705
01:04:57,093 --> 01:04:59,128
And like now they're in like 2027.

1706
01:04:59,128 --> 01:05:02,131
But the world is like
or the United States is like ending.

1707
01:05:03,432 --> 01:05:04,700
So it's very apocalypse.

1708
01:05:04,700 --> 01:05:07,336
Like a sower parable, you know. So.

1709
01:05:07,336 --> 01:05:09,372
Oh okay. Interesting.

1710
01:05:09,372 --> 01:05:13,175
She can so which I think is a, skill
that not a lot of people have on that.

1711
01:05:13,175 --> 01:05:15,144
Totally sure why yet, but she

1712
01:05:16,312 --> 01:05:17,313
is like collecting these

1713
01:05:17,313 --> 01:05:21,284
people on the road
and, like, creating her own religion.

1714
01:05:21,284 --> 01:05:22,618
Pretty much.

1715
01:05:22,618 --> 01:05:26,389
But it's all about like,
it's called, like, good Seed.

1716
01:05:26,889 --> 01:05:31,093
So it's just about being
like a good person

1717
01:05:31,093 --> 01:05:32,929
and making a community
that helps each other

1718
01:05:32,929 --> 01:05:35,498
because they don't have any access
to, like, money.

1719
01:05:35,498 --> 01:05:38,134
So basically, everyone in the community,
the her idea is that everyone

1720
01:05:38,134 --> 01:05:39,802
just helped each other.

1721
01:05:39,802 --> 01:05:41,971
She's been a good friend.
She's been a good friend.

1722
01:05:41,971 --> 01:05:43,506
Parable of the sower.

1723
01:05:43,506 --> 01:05:45,508
Fabulous book. So far, so good.

1724
01:05:45,508 --> 01:05:49,412
Apparently there's a second one to,
other books

1725
01:05:49,412 --> 01:05:52,381
that I've read recently.

1726
01:05:55,518 --> 01:05:58,621
I'd have to say I, I've like a thing on
my Instagram where I like, post them on.

1727
01:05:58,621 --> 01:06:01,490
Books that I last read.
I'm currently reading. Do you do that?

1728
01:06:01,490 --> 01:06:02,525
Currently reading. This?

1729
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:05,528
Oh no, I just do it
when I when I've finished the book, I say.

1730
01:06:06,395 --> 01:06:08,030

You want to shout out the camera

You have a crazy today.

1740
01:06:27,984 --> 01:06:30,753
Oh okay.

1741
01:06:30,753 --> 01:06:32,154
In fact one morning

1742
01:06:32,154 --> 01:06:35,157
that I went straight to her.

1743
01:06:35,157 --> 01:06:37,026
Okay we won't.

1744
01:06:37,026 --> 01:06:37,626

Feeney talks with friends.

01:06:40,963 --> 01:06:42,064
Boom.

1747
01:06:42,064 --> 01:06:45,301
Are you related to this person
who asked me?

1748
01:06:45,601 --> 01:06:46,702
I like it, no.

1749
01:06:46,702 --> 01:06:48,104
I read it reading her book cycle.

1750
01:06:48,104 --> 01:06:51,340
I have a there are a lot
of psychological thrillers that I read

1751
01:06:52,375 --> 01:06:54,977
you, which I like, keeps it interesting.

1752
01:06:54,977 --> 01:06:57,980
You know, page turner

1753
01:06:57,980 --> 01:07:01,317
trying to look for a book that I've read
that isn't too creepy to tell people

1754
01:07:03,019 --> 01:07:06,455
I really liked, Demon Copperhead.

1755
01:07:07,890 --> 01:07:09,025
That was a great one, too.

1756
01:07:09,025 --> 01:07:10,993
It's like a,

1757
01:07:10,993 --> 01:07:15,331
think of, like, catcher in the Rye,
but set in the Appalachian Mountains.

1758
01:07:15,765 --> 01:07:18,401
Okay, I like it. That's. Yeah. Set me up.

1759
01:07:18,401 --> 01:07:20,369
I know exactly I'm no podcast.

1760
01:07:20,369 --> 01:07:23,205
I only
I only listen to this podcast, of course.

1761
01:07:23,205 --> 01:07:29,678
And then the toast, which is a millennial
morning show for girls and pop culture.

1762
01:07:30,112 --> 01:07:32,882
So it's kind of like my fun two sisters

1763
01:07:32,882 --> 01:07:36,052
and listening to them
since I was, I don't know, in college.

1764
01:07:36,952 --> 01:07:39,388
All right.
The toast. Yeah, a couple books.

1765
01:07:39,388 --> 01:07:40,990
Two books.

1766
01:07:40,990 --> 01:07:41,924

Closing remarks.

Well,

1771
01:07:52,234 --> 01:07:55,237
I guess I could plug for your restaurant.

1772
01:07:55,571 --> 01:07:58,541
Who wants social media
and great pictures?

1773
01:07:58,774 --> 01:08:00,242
That's kind of what I'm looking for.

1774
01:08:00,242 --> 01:08:01,877
The people I'm looking for.

1775
01:08:01,877 --> 01:08:04,613
Yeah. Promise I'll do a great job.

Yeah. So, like.

Like taking pictures of food.

Well, it didn't even taste good. Oh.
