in them stars and.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Uh look like bills bills slots at the bottom.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
And they're they're magnificent and they would be really cool
if you had a castle.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
I would say the biggest one. I'm going to say
one seventy.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
Nine, one seventy nine for the biggest and the cheapest
one would the most least an expensive would be your stuff.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
That would be sixty nine.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
I bet, oh, I bet that's more. I bet that's
one ten small.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
As you come into Allisonville, go through the main building
and come back to the greenhouses and look up and
you will see these big bills.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
If you haven't had a chance to come to our store, uh,
we're at one hundred and fourteenth in Allisonville Road.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
It is a it's just it's different from our Keystone store.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
And that's why and that's why we we have kept
separate uh designers and buyers, so that the stores are different.
And this one just has a really cool I really
love this.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I would agree with that. That's really neat. And they
have they've incorporated what would normally be found here at
the store into their design. So they're designing around like
the plant section. They're designing around back in the back
where the little greenhouse was in the old building.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
And the vignettes, I mean behind us is like a
green frog with surrounded by Christmas trees that are made
out of wood.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
Well, and he's been fishing. He's got a fish, yeah,
hooked on his little little hand. It's a winter wonderland.
And this would be such a great place to take pictures,
and we are it would.

Yeah, we got a lot of people that will come
in and you're more than welcome. People always called and
said do I need an appointment? It's like, now, just

Not be you're talking about.

Speaker 6 (06:23):

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Our student our studios on Monument Circle to move. We've
been there since December of ninety eight. Yeah, and we
are moving, uh Lissalle Street, LaSalle. It's kind of like
it's right by Channel thirteen.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Saint Joseph Street. Really, Oh sorry, Saint Joseph.

Speaker 6 (06:41):
Oh, Saint Joseph, between Meridian and Pennsylvania.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's almost where we started with W E N S.
Remember the Landmark.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Building your tenth yep.

Speaker 6 (06:49):
Anyway, I'm having been to the new building, have you no,
not not in it.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
I'm pretty sentimental about it.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
And again, you know, I've really been taking it in that.
I've got the countdown going, because that's why I'm counting down.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
I'm only going to be in there.

Speaker 9 (07:03):
You know.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
We've got Radio Fon coming up. Soon.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
But the twelfth and thirteenth of this, we move.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
On the eighth, so you get.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Your parking path. I got my parking pass and it's
underneath four sixty five or sixty five about.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
A block away. We need a parking place.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Is that the parking spot?

Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's the parking pass they sent me.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
I'm going to park in the lot right in front
of the They didn't get any.

Speaker 8 (07:25):
Parking I think someone scammed Denny. How much did you
pay for us?

Speaker 2 (07:31):
He bought.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
He bought an elevator pass too. We're on the first floor.
What floor are we on in that building?

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Here?

Speaker 3 (07:36):
On the second floor?

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Second floor.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
There's only two floor.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
There's only two floors.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
We did get it, Oh there's three.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
We got a window. We got a window. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
The studio.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
Have you seen the studio.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
I've seen my studio?

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Is it? Is it?

Speaker 5 (07:48):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (07:48):
It's designed differently.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Because I could go either way in a little bit.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Of a line, right cam. Yeah, I've really need a
picture camera friendly.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
It's more for the digital part of it, because is
where we will be more of a line and we'll
have to look at each other like this.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Oh, that's not bad. There's a little bit of a
curve to it. And then I heard Ethan is going
back to the nineteen six and it's going to be
enough booth or.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
So that's the big that'll be.

Speaker 8 (08:13):
The biggest change for radio folks is if anyone seen
Fraser and you know how Ross is kind of in
our own little booth.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
That's how the producers are going to go back to.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
That's how it was when I started in the nineties, and.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Of course currently they're in studio with us.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Terry.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
When you when you started there, it probably was burlap
or something.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
It was, but a burlap and really we were it
was such a magical time. It was I remember logical time,
and I remember what do you remember?

Speaker 4 (08:43):
Well?

Speaker 5 (08:43):
I remember when I started.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
When I started, the producer was behind the glass, that's right.
And then in about a year, uh, they brought them out.
They brought them out so that the producer could interact.
And so now we're going back. That's kind of a
stupid decision. Cam was that your.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Idea to move them back into yeah, to movie back
in the city.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Why about the thirty year rule for business the thirty
year for businesses. We make the same mistakes in thirty
year patterns and then we then we correct them, and
then we go back to the same stupid mistakes we
made thirty years ago. So this I think not having
the producer in the in the in the group with
us is sort of a mistake because they bring a

(09:20):
lot to the Yeah, they do, and you have better
communications because you're so close.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
It makes the show real, you know, because that's what
you want.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
You want to show that that doesn't feel there we go,
that doesn't feel so polished somebody like Pitche. I think
sometimes pige was always so because he was such a
great broadcaster that he he never wanted to show. I remember,
like Terry and I've talked about this before, like if
we had a guest that stood us up, yeah, I'm

(09:49):
going to talk about him for forty five minutes, right,
pige would act like he never had been promoting it
for three hours and just move straight forward word.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
He always said, Terry, look forward, like like we're playing football.
Be forward, never look back. But that's the way he
was taught, and then I was taught a different way.
But then pidge I think when pige uh got had
more people in the room, you did start to know
who Jeff Pigeon was. You knew summer, you knew his kids,
you knew his his daughter, you knew I mean his

(10:21):
his family.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Is such a good broadcast.

Speaker 6 (10:23):
He would tell you where he was going to on vacation,
and and he would I mean, he just he started
to become more And that's what.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
You want to know. You you want to you want
to learn, you want to know who these people.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
You're listening to. Yeah, so there you go.

Speaker 6 (10:36):
So anyway, where the countdown begins, I think I'm going
to for radio fun sell.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Some of the stuff I have. And uh, because I
have a lot of you know, cool stuff. Okay, people
have given us through the years things.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
We've been very privileged to get free stuff all the time,
and so some of that stuff's pretty awesome.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
We're gonna sell, so you.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Think, So we'll be in the in our studio a
couple more.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Times, a couple more times one, I think, yeah, we're
going to be We'll just see.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Okay, a couple more times. So what we should do
on Saturdays just open the doors and let people come
in and take furniture and stuff.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
I think Terry take long to us.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Terry's room is is are.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
You should.

Speaker 8 (11:20):
His office is stacked with comic books, and I mean
it looks like a hoarder. But he said he has
a storage you know, or and uh, well, we can't
talk too much because we do have our own craft
corner with all of our craft goodies and I do
not know it.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
I don't care what we're going to do with it,
because I don't.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
I mean, we just have to take it with us.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
You can just uh, you can just keep in the
back of my truck and then each perfect go out
there and get your stuff.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I love that.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
Yeah, throw it back there at the cheese ball from Christmas.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, it'll start smelling like why I.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Can sell that. We can sell it. Oh boy, We'll
put some DICU page on it. It'll be fine. It's historic.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
So what's going on up here? Pat? I know it.
And also Ville, Well, you've got a whole sheet in
front of you.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Oh okay, here it is.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
You know, we are having okay, high level overview for
Q four's that's who the hell is a corporate person here?
It says Pat's well compiled by corporate Casey.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Oh nice.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
I was working with Casey and she had a corporate job.
So we were doing one of the vignettes on the
Sullivan Express Train, which today is the opening day. That's
why i'm a little bit uh goofy.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, it's spent a long week, don't casey.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
We were trading, uh, we are trading corporate terms when
we were doing this vignette because she you know like
lean forward.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
You know we're going to lean into it.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Paradigm. Did you get a paradigmond, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
We're going to circle back on that one. Circle back
is always good. Hey, you know what, listen, we don't
need more doors. We just need more swings, all right,
So how do we get more swings?

Speaker 2 (12:57):
I listened to this crap for forty five years from
coast to coast, and it's all of.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
A sudden, you don't need more customers. We just need
more swings of the door. So we just need do
we need that customer to come back more times and
swing our door?

Speaker 3 (13:10):
We don't need more I've never heard that one.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
We don't need more doors, we need more swings.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
You know the only difference between the East Coast and
the West Coast when it comes to these type of
corporate you know word puzzles is the accent. It's like
California's dude, We're not going there again.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
On the.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
New York that in the size of their butter. We
learned that last week.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
The size of their butter butter.

Speaker 6 (13:37):
Is different on the West Coast than it is on
the East Coast. Really it's shorter and stockier, and then
on the on the East Coast it's longer and thinner.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
I'm going to I'm getting a little uncomfortable, right, we're
talking about butter butter.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Remember butter, They were different on the weast coast.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
And last week, all right, Terry.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
Well, last time I found myself auctioning it off Alexander
Rossi's package.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Oh was it a good package?

Speaker 5 (14:10):
Well, the girls thought it was all right.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
We're coming right back our number two three nine ninety three,
ninety three.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Wait till I forget past today my mom's auction. They're
auctioning off all the old antique store stuff. Boy, I
bet you're going to make a killing on it. So
I don't think that's going to happen. Brother, But anybody
that is in the Baxter au Gallery neighborhood about forty
six and Pendleton Pike, one of the few auction houses
still left in Indiana, today's Mama's auction and the auctions

(15:08):
made up of several families, but her stuff's in there.
I can't believe it's they. Pat was telling me about
what would you call it? Road show?

Speaker 4 (15:16):
Antique road show on PBS. Do you ever watch often?

Speaker 5 (15:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (15:20):
I love it, Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Pet says. They showed the two thousand and six prize.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Some of the episodes like they'll they'll go back. They
started doing that during COVID when they can't couldn't do
and it was so popular, you know that. It's like
two thousand and six, this was worth five thousand dollars.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
And then they give it what it is.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
It's incredible home which value. Some of the stuff just
goes and they have a noise that goes.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Oh, well, I've seen one of those episodes.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
You haven't know.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
Oh, it's really good.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
But I love the show.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Mama's prepared for that. She was a drop Rose collector,
which was drop Rose havevel in china, and it was
the same china that was used in the White House
back in the early nineteenth Oh, that's cool, and there
my sister has pictures of White House banquets with this
drop Ros china and she sold that, and she sold
that at a good time. But now everything, every piece

(16:11):
of china that you would fall in love with, carnival glass,
the blue glow stuff, it's just there's no value in it.
I know.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
It's just crazy, I know.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
And that's why so many like I just continue to
hang on to the stuff. You always think, well, is
it going to be worth anything? And then am I
really going to do it? Am I really going to
take it somewhere and go through the whole thing?

Speaker 2 (16:27):
And there's probably a year rule there someplace.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
I know, do you really think that another generation thirty
years from now or you know, you know.

Speaker 6 (16:37):
A couple of years ago, I remember hearing I don't
know if it's true or not, but younger couples were
looking at vintage. They liked vintage, they liked antiques, and
this was I guess maybe right around COVID time. I mean,
I remember just talking about this on air on first
day about you know, the kids, these younger people are
flocking to get kind of that vintage.

Speaker 8 (16:59):
Look, that's no, that's absolutely a thing. A lot of people,
uh Mie, Now they'll go to goodwill. No by the
old glassword, like our grandparents used to.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Use and hey, hey, I'm sitting right here. Well okay,
it is what it is. But now would you buy china?

Speaker 5 (17:15):
No?

Speaker 2 (17:15):
No, okay, no, we.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
We do we I Actually it's so funny.

Speaker 8 (17:19):
I just had this conversation with my mom because you know,
as the grandparents are gett older, trying to pass things
down and a lot of the things is china or trinkets.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
And you don't want to. We don't want to.

Speaker 8 (17:30):
We we don't do the fancy dinner parties anymore where
you break out the china or there's just not enough room.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Any Sometimes you get to china lights those stiff plastic blades.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Right exactly, then you can just throw them away.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
He was kind of a cool thing. And this is
just a craft. It's again, it's a craft. And I
don't know if anybody cares about this or not, but
you really can take that china. And I like, got
so much costume jewelry from my grandma when she passed away. Oh,
I mean just bags of jewelry. And you can actually
break the china and then you can make it into
Christmas trees. You glue on the pieces onto styrofoam trees

(18:06):
and you can give them to your aunts and your
mom and you know, and you can do the same
thing with that costume jewelry.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
I'm trying to think how you can kind of figure out.
I don't know how to do with this stuff. I
don't know how my great grandma would like it if
I broke her kin. So she's still alive, No, no, no,
I was just thinking of her and be on the grave. Yeah,
I don't want her to I don't come back for me.

Speaker 6 (18:26):
Maybe she'd rather her family have it than then take
it off. And that's true, and I think, but I
do like kind of a memory piece that they can
you can still bring out year after year and it's
just little. It's kind of and it's little, and it's
it's not China plates.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
China.

Speaker 10 (18:42):
Though.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
My grandson came over and was going through some of
my father's jewelry and my dad always had a saying,
and he gave this tie tack to me. It says,
you can't do it was all the initials, but you
can't do business sitting on your ass. Oh, I told
you that word this Saturday business he was quoting. Well, anyway,
I went to a jazz festival for Jonah's band and

I like it.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah, have you got any bunny rabbits left your house?

Speaker 4 (24:17):
Just the title itself giggles.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Odd facts about bunny rabbits of Indiana really is what
it was. See, that's what it says. All right, So
what's the most common wild rabbit you'll find hopping around Indiana? Rabbit?
You can't say, jack hope on this show. All right?
Is it the midwest rabbit? Is it the northern hare

(24:41):
or is it the Eastern cottontail? Which one is it? Oh?

Speaker 4 (24:44):
It's contail, cotton down you're getting that's just because of
fairy tale.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
You hear that, all right? So let me give you
the descriptions. The marsh rabbit is usually seen around wetlands
and in low lying areas. The northern hare is I'm
in and slightly colder plains regions, okay. And then the
eastern cottontail, the one most likely stealing your garden? Let
us which one do you think?

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (25:09):
Boy, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Oh remember that baby bunny I tried to save.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Last Let's all right, eastern cotton, let's talk about She

it is the Eastern cottontail.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
So I was right, Bella's yeah.

See, they cut you off and they just treat you
like garbage.

Speaker 14 (25:28):
She not.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Uh yeah, once you get past thirty, I'm telling you
there's no respect. All right.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Why do rabbits for thirty thirty one thirty Why.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Hey, hey, birthday, birthday?

Speaker 3 (25:42):
We gets the cake now?

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Okay, I mixed to Denny carry Lynn Caryl.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Why do rabbits perform those strange midair binkie jumps? You
know when they'll jump up and they'll go that's an
easy one.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
That's easy.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Is it a display of pure excitement or happiness?

Speaker 11 (25:58):
Please?

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Is it an instinctive movie to shake off pessyep? Or
is it part of a territorial display to warrant other rabbits?
It's the past, please, I.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Think smile, Yeah, the past. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Maybe Alison birthday girl. I think the pests it is
to display of pure excitement. They really can.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
That makes me happy.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Doesn't know what they so we like the anthwerpomorphize.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
That is such bs because they don't really know.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Okay, mister smarty pads come.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
They don't know if the if the bunny didn't just
get bit by a flea.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Oh oh no, it's just it's just a question numbers.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Hey, this is in the weeds. I get one segment
a week, all right, that's all I get.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
We used to get to talk through the rest of
the show, all right, how fast this is your only mobmit?

Speaker 2 (26:45):
How fast can an Indiana cottontail rabbit actually run when
spooked hawk?

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Is it close to forty miles per hour if chased
by a predator? Is it around thirty five miles per
hour and short bursts? Or is it about twenty miles
per hour but only on down on hill slopes?

Speaker 5 (27:01):
Twenty miles?

Speaker 3 (27:01):
I say, I don't know that.

Speaker 6 (27:04):
There's a saying quick like a bunny, right, they get
fast quickly.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'm going to give Alison the blue ribbon here because
it's around thirty five miles per how I can only
do it in short first? There we go, Thank you all.
Why do rabbits teeth never stop growing? Now? Path probably understand.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
The rodent Yeah they're not.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
They're amazing anyway, They need longer teeth help regulate body temperature.
It's a leftover evolutionary trait from rodent ancestors. Their diet
of tough vegetation constantly wears them down.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
The rodent ancestors, I mean, I think so, I mean
they're like squirrels.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
They got to keep the forever.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Okay, Well, then then that's the last answer, and you'd
be correct. Their diet of tough vegetation constantly wears them down.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
You know, I don't think I've gotten one on this route.
I'm not very good on rabbits.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Well, why do rabbits eat some of their own droppings? Pat,
it's they're.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
Stupid starving because we've taken their land away.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Oh boy, it's their way of marking territory scent. Is
it they need to redigest certain nutrients that they missed
the first time or is it a learned social behavior
from living in colonies of other rabbits.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Oh well, that's not good that they're teaching that.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Ethan has found the sign of found.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
The first terrible leadership.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Actually, it is they need to redigest the food because
it goes through their systems so fast, So that's where
they get their nutrients.

Speaker 9 (28:29):
So they.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Have Have you ever had a head of friends.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Like popcorn for us?

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Oh boy? Okay?

Speaker 2 (28:40):
When are Indiana contails so quickly? When are Indiana cottontails
most active during the day? Is mid day, late night
or donner dusk? I would say don dusk, that's correct, Yes,
it's cool and predators are less active. Yeah, what happens
if you feed wild rabbits too much lettuce from your garden.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Well, I know for sure.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Now let me give you the answers here.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
I know about that.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
They'll they'll lose interest in their natural diet and rely
on people. They can develop digestive problems from too much
water content, or that become more territorially and aggressive towards
other rabbits who get into the stash.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
I'm going with, uh, I always think too much rough
as you get to bloated. I'm going with digestion.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Obviously you don't know much about Indiana, rightnot. The correct
answer is they can develop digestive problems because what I said,
from too much water content.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
From the lettuce, That's what he said. Well, you know,
do you listen, You're next in the weeds? Is about
that honesty. That's the boomerang. I always wait for it.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
That's the boomerang over right in the head.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Well, there you go, that's you're in the weeds.

Speaker 6 (29:43):
But I did have Oh boy, it was really good?

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Was that was that sound effects from ethan from here?

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Was that my stomachs digestive?

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Try?

Speaker 5 (29:56):
There you go?

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Okay, well there you go, all right.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
I'll always be prepared pat.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
An emergency dime to make a phone call.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
I bet you do have it.

Speaker 2 (30:06):

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Jerry, I think what we should do is go walk
the path and check it out. Okay, we kind of know, okay,
all right, we're coming right back. We're here at Allisonville
Home and Garden by Sullivan, our number two three nine
ninety three ninety three.

Speaker 10 (34:13):
My arms are getting the tire. I think my leg's are.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Weare right now to climbing up.

Speaker 10 (34:18):
This mountain is about in the ground. And day I
wake up thinking I should go in the tlan. Then
that boy mart up to the stars, and I just
think about it.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
There is no des doubles.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
The place that you have said, well, here we are
in the letter fourteenth and Alison. It's Alisonville Home and
Gardens by Sullivan. And I tell you what, if you
want to get in the Christmas spirit, it's really good place.
David Stromer, the head decorator here for Allisonville, is just unbelievable.
Allison and Terry. If you go back in what we

(34:58):
call the main part of the building, they have these
little tiny vignettes and sometimes they're reds and sometimes they're
greens and plants. That's a good place to come for
just to lift your own spirits.

Speaker 8 (35:07):
I also love a theme, and they have a lot
of different themed trees, and I honestly I don't know
how they do it, but I love them. They have
like a Taylor Swift one obviously, yeah, and then just
a couple of different other ones that are fun. And
Pat was mentioning earlier this is a great place to
get family photos.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Yes it is, and it either amongst the trees themselves.
How we're back in front of those vignettes. My favorite
vignette is out by the old Greenhouse, on the old
part of the building that would be on the south
west side, and it's just trump ed gorgeous. I love
the whites and reds. I'm a traditionalist on that part.
And then everything is just right there for you too.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Well kind of this is it, you know what? The
kickoff really started about a week ago. But then Thanksgiving
week ahead.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Isn't it funny though, be it? I mean Thanksgiving is late,
so the latest it can be is the twenty eighth,
So this year it's the twenty seventh, so it tends
to be late. But people, I think they want to
get there. They love it. They want to get their
decor up so they can enjoy the season rather than.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
I started on it Halloween. Yeah, I don't wait for
Turkey Day. I'm doing it after Holliday.

Speaker 8 (36:10):
But you guys, but I feel like I noticed everyone
really wanted to get into the Christmas fair early this year.
I felt like a lot more lights went up earlier.
And maybe just because there's warmer weather and people are
getting more excited.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
But I just feel like, I think, you know what,
I think we need it.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
I think really absolutely need it because I am you know,
the news of the day every day is really hard.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
I'm so sick of it.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
We're just politically tired of it.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
Banenter the twenty four hour news cycle is not good
for our psyche.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
It's not much. It is not healthy, not one lick.

Speaker 6 (36:38):
So I think everybody kind of wanted to really get
into something that we all love.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
Which is just the season is the holidays, the holidays.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
I want to publicly thank Pat Sullivan, which is very rare.
But I had a Christmas tree that I bought from
him many years ago, and I about lost my religion.
I was not ready for Santa Claus. I wasn't ready
for Baby Jesus. I wouldn't ready for anything. And what
did you say, bring it over here, We'll show you
how to fix it. And God bless you for that
to show you how we're just going to fix it. Well,
you fixed it, but they told me how they did it.
And that's genius what you guys do. But thank you

(37:08):
fixing a tree. So, Denny, here's the thing. When you
buy a tree from us, you we take care of it.
We always tell people it's like, don't.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
Just bring it to us?

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Do you just bring the section to us and we'll
fix it, because if you don't and you can't fix it,
you're just mad when you get here.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
It's exactly right.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
But I wasn't because you said just cut off the second.

Speaker 5 (37:28):
Not cut it. And that's that is the advantage of
buying a tree.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
But Andrew locally an electrical genius. I don't know if
he's a savant or what.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
But you don't get coordinator to coordinator. Oh is that
what it is?

Speaker 4 (37:41):
We Greg and Cuppy down in our who run our warehouse.
They are managing eleven hundred trees that we store and
set up for our customers.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Now that's important, you know. I like the ten foot
and eleven foot I have a high ceiling, but I
don't want to get on a ladder to have to
put it all together. And it's so yeah, what do
you do? Guys do?

Speaker 4 (38:01):
So what we do is we actually you buy a
tree from us, you put it in the program and
it's they're just.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Wait a minute, alcoholics anonymous, not that program.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
Okay, uh, and we actually will we shape it, We
take care of the lights, We bring it out to
your house, you decorate it, you undecorated.

Speaker 5 (38:19):
We pick it up and we store it. You don't
see it now.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
You check the bulbs for next year and all that time.

Speaker 5 (38:23):
No, we send it out with burnout bulbs.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Then I'm pitching underhand year.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
Yes, we do. We take care of all the lights
and stuff so.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
That if you want a big tree and you don't
want to get on the ladder and you don't want
to mess with five different sections, that sounds like a plan.

Speaker 5 (38:35):
It is.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
It's it's uh, you know, it's it's kind of a
I will tell I'll go ahead and tell you how
much it costs. It's thirty six dollars a foot. So
a ten foot tree, which I don't think is bad,
you would pay us three hundred and sixty bucks two.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Point take it up, put it away, bring it back.

Speaker 5 (38:49):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Wow, that's not bad. So a ten foot tree or
fourteen foot tree, that's all with it.

Speaker 5 (38:56):
I always go with ten because the math is easy.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah yeah, I know that way.

Speaker 6 (38:59):
I remember as a kid, as a young and we
small home, you know, grew up in a very small home,
and the attics of old.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Oh yeah, you pull with.

Speaker 6 (39:08):
The string down and that moment of you know, it's
time to get the stuff, and mom climbing up there
and out of ten. There's no ladder you actually, you know,
the stairs came down. You pull that stairs down from
there and you'd climb up that there's of the the
attic which smells like mothballs, and then you go. They'd

(39:30):
climb up and hand one thing down at a time,
boxes and whatever in the tree, and you know there
was always something melted, you know, in the hot attic
from the summer. But uh yeah, remember, I remember that's
how we did it.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
I remember that most children, at least us, that's how.
That's when you learn how to cuss when your dad,
When your dad was putting up the tree because they
were fresh cut trees, you know, and trying to get
them to put in the stand.

Speaker 14 (39:57):
There was somebody on my feet on my social media
the other day and it was It's just it was
just somebody that had put together, splice together every angry
man that's doing a project.

Speaker 6 (40:09):
I mean, whether that was climbing up a ladder and
screaming or you know, just the words coming up, especially
when you're on.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
The roof doing here's see what's going and she goes
you need to settle down, and it's the throwing.

Speaker 6 (40:20):
Of the things, and I'm like so so it was
so relatable to that. I mean, every project David does,
there's something that's not going to ever go right, and.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
Throwing of things.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
Yeah, you have to get that patience going oh no, no,
I won't find it.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
I won't find it in that man. But God love him.

Speaker 6 (40:41):
I mean he tries everything and everything usually can get
is right at the end.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
It's just getting to it right.

Speaker 5 (40:47):
I take a little long is what he estimated. So
there you go.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
All right, we're here at Allisonville. Our number two coming up?

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Were some folks see that grown.

Speaker 1 (41:06):

difference is the price of our toys. We go for
macho symbols like guns, running shoes, pickup truckshunducks and power dudes.

But I did take the day off yesterday.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
She went IREW see that that was a good idea.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Yeah, I'm very proud of myself.

Speaker 8 (42:28):
I actually took a day off and I got a
massage and then I visited with my grandparents and that
was it, and I watched a documentary.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
Well, I loved it.

Speaker 2 (42:38):

Speaker 2 (42:46):
So we're not doing anything. One hundred and fourteenth and
Alison Phil Road. This is a neat place.

Speaker 5 (42:50):
It really is. It's a cool place to come.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Uh we need to order breakfast run oh food.

Speaker 8 (42:56):
Yeah, because Maggie's is here, and as they opened for brunt,
we'll find out.

Speaker 5 (43:02):
I should know these things, I think.

Speaker 9 (43:04):
So.

Speaker 8 (43:05):
The cool thing about Maggie's two is they also have
a coffee bar, yes, which I really like because you
can come in and grab a coffee or like the
fancy lattes or whatever, then walk around the store each
I already got.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
Each of the Sullivan's.

Speaker 6 (43:17):
They really reflect the neighborhood. Yeah, they're in that's really true.
Whatever you whatever you have, it's an entirely different. It's
it's whether that's you know, your smaller one over on
pin if it's if it's the seventy first and Stone
never been to the one in Cicero.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
It's a quiet little.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
Store up now it has it's a it's a beautiful
little hardware store.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Do you go up? Is it much?

Speaker 2 (43:41):
You know?

Speaker 4 (43:41):
What when we are in Atlanta. I went by and
I realized one of the big problems we have out
there is parking.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Oh there's no place to park.

Speaker 4 (43:49):
You can go around the corner because the restaurants have
become really popular out there, so they, you know, take
up a lot of the street parking.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Is it right in the heart of yeah, right, yeah,
most to nine. It's a nice little store. Yeah. Different
levels like they've added on or different things.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
All right.

Speaker 5 (44:07):
So back to Allisonville.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
We went out and so they are having what's called
the Winter.

Speaker 8 (44:13):
Winter Wonderland Experience at Allisonville.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Wonderland really hard with Corpus Cacy on this, so you
make sure you give her some love.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
So we went and it's under construction. These tunnels, these
holiday tunnels. It's going to be really cool.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
Yeah, you've got a lot of animation out there.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
Yeah, it is really cool. And this is a walking path.

Speaker 8 (44:33):
This is nice free walking path. The first day is
next Saturday, so the twenty ninth and hours are on
their websites Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But I think
it's going to be I think kids are going to
love it.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
Families too. Great photos we can stop photo opportunities.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
They can stop and look and they can stay as
long as they want in that vinya. This is going
to be nice.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
And then on Saturdays Santa will be here, so you
can grab a ticket and go see hw say hi
to ce Sana.

Speaker 4 (44:58):
And this is obviously completely different than the train experience at.

Speaker 5 (45:02):
Our Keystone store.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
No trains here, no trains.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
This is just a kind of a laid back you know,
a kind of a fun free things.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
The hands, kind of a path.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Yeah, go to the go to the website and you
can understand the different tickets. There's a Santa only ticket,
there's a fifteen dollars single kid ticket, and there's also
the twenty five dollars family ticket. And it gives you
lots of different opportunities and lots of options. And you
don't have to get a ticket if you don't want
a ticket.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
Yeah you can. You can just walk the path and
enjoy the beer garden at the end.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Hey, let's take a call, shall we?

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Ok?

Speaker 4 (45:30):
Okay, Ethan, I can't really see who is online too,
but could you tell me who it is and.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
Put them on in the air.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
We have Dan Dan.

Speaker 4 (45:41):
Dan the man as we like to say Hi, Dan, Hey, Pat,
how you doing. We're doing good? Thanks for calling.

Speaker 15 (45:49):
Hey, I had a little home service trivia for.

Speaker 11 (45:52):
Today, Pats.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Okay, great in weeds with Dan. Anything to do with
bunny rabbits?

Speaker 15 (45:58):
All right, nothing to do with bunny rabbits, although I
here you mentioned Jack Cope. So it is a plumbing question, yay?

Speaker 11 (46:04):
All right?

Speaker 15 (46:05):
So this comes to you from Prime Plumbing. That's who
who told me about this? What is did you know
what is the busiest plumbing day of the year.

Speaker 16 (46:15):
Oh, Black Friday?

Speaker 3 (46:20):
I think it's.

Speaker 11 (46:23):
Good.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
It's it's which one?

Speaker 5 (46:26):
No?

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Those are those are really good?

Speaker 2 (46:27):
Yeses?

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Actually, you guys are your experts.

Speaker 15 (46:29):
You should run a radio show on home services.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
So tell them why tell them? Tell them why?

Speaker 4 (46:36):
Day?

Speaker 15 (46:36):
Right, it's it's it's it's called Brown Friday by Prime
Prime Plumbing.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
That's exactly right, because Uncle Sullivan comes over and fills
up the toilet.

Speaker 11 (46:45):
Correct, correct?

Speaker 2 (46:46):
I mean, what could go wrong?

Speaker 15 (46:47):
You invite everybody over, you have fifty people in your home,
and you're pouring a bunch of grease down the drain
and potato pace.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
For me, I did not know that, but they.

Speaker 15 (46:58):
So we put together a quickly the tips for Thanksgiving,
and it's obviously don't put your potato peels down the drain,
don't pour any grease down the drain. Handful of things
along those lines. Just keep your home running smoothly every
Thanksgiving and make sure you have your plumber on emergency dial.
Make sure you know who they are and you've got
a good relationship with them and you've treated them well.

Speaker 4 (47:18):
And you know, eggshells is another thing that should not
go down the disposal. I always thought that was, you know,
an okay thing, and I've.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Sure it's okay if you send other things. You can't
send them down by themselves. If they have something else
they can cling to, then you're engaged.

Speaker 4 (47:32):
So maybe mix it with some chicken and like a
chicken salad and put that down.

Speaker 15 (47:37):
Well, just in general, maybe just scrape the scrape that
into the trash can on on Thanksgiving Day when you're
prepping everything.

Speaker 4 (47:43):
There you go, that's a great, that's very good. You
know what, you know what you just provided for us
Dan that we we haven't had in over an hour.

Speaker 17 (47:52):
Community service content content.

Speaker 5 (47:57):
Get Dan with the content.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Then he had his bunny facts that work.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Those are really good. Did I ever tell you the
story that I dated the playboy bun Dan.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
Thank you, d Happy Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
This is a real story. I was in the YMCA
at Iu and we drove up the Lake Geneva, which
there was a bunny club up there, and one of
the kids that was at the desk was a beautiful
young lady and she says, you have a car, will
you pick me up after work? And I said, well, sure,
is it here close? And she goes, it's close. I'll
give you the address. So this is nineteen seventy one.

(48:30):
So her name was Linda Chapman. So she gives me
the address. I go to the dress and it was
the back door to the bunny club. So I pull
in there and I say, my name's Denny Smith. I'm
supposed to pick up Linda. Oh yeah, we're expecting you.
Go right on up there, and I saw all the
girls coming out and going in. I picked up Lynn
and took her back to the YMCA camp.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
That's a true story. Your pig bonnies.

Speaker 14 (48:54):
You this on the first day, so I don't even understand.

Speaker 5 (48:59):
I don't even.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Standing told his story twice.

Speaker 4 (49:03):
When you were proud of I'm saying, are you saying
she was a camper.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
She was with the y m C a group, but
she was a playwood bunny.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
So she used you as a ride.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
Yeah, I was you know the early Uber. You were
Uber there you.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
Go the have so many questions.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
I have a lot of questions there.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Yeah, so, uh, I knows. I hope they make a
movie about it.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:28):
Boy, last night I was, Uh, I was seeing an
event at this clubs No, the Seeds of Hope, father Glenn's,
and something happened, uh that I didn't see coming.

Speaker 5 (49:41):
Did you know this? Did you know what was?

Speaker 2 (49:44):
So? I was it was Seeds of Hope.

Speaker 4 (49:46):
It was at the Rich Charles there and Big Joe
helped me with the auction. There's six hundred people there
and my cousin Sean, who is the president after father
Glenn passed away, and his brother my first cousin, so
he's kind of the president. And you know, Terry, you
mc a lot of stuff.

Speaker 5 (50:04):
You know.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
I pride myself and keeping my event on time.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
That's the key.

Speaker 5 (50:09):
And sometimes it's.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
Like, you know, it's like you know, you're you're fighting
fighting city Hall with some of these people. So I'm
sitting there at the side and they're they're giving awards,
and they give this award and it's like four videos
and I'm looking, I'm already fifteen minutes behind. And you know,
we've got Alexander Rossi is going to be interviewed by
day first. I mean, reverse raffle. There's just a lot

(50:34):
going on. And so now they're going to give the
second award. They give it to me. What's the word for,
It's the Father Glenn Community Service Award.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
Deserved.

Speaker 4 (50:49):
I was so shocked by it. But here's the This
is how dumb I am. People always go, Pat, here's
such our genius. I'm an idiot because my whole family
was there.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
I didn't even think why they were there.

Speaker 5 (50:59):
Why were there?

Speaker 4 (51:00):
I mean, you know, it is a busy week and
Beth was there and the kids were there.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
I'm thinking of okay, father Gun well cool.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (51:08):
So it was oh I'm so happy, well deserved yeah yeah,
yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
And so they had video tributes from then.

Speaker 3 (51:15):
Time running behind one. So bad was it? Then You're okay?
It was still bad?

Speaker 4 (51:20):
Get matter of fact, it was a matter of fact,
as an MC, the worst performance I've ever had. We
were like forty five or fifty minutes behind. Oh, I
mean that's such.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
Was the room rented?

Speaker 4 (51:33):
Yeah, the hell they were shutting the lights out.

Speaker 6 (51:35):
That's what we try to keep you on time. I
know sometimes people are like, well, you're speeding through it.
We keep you on time because usually those rooms are
rented for an amount of time by the organizations and
so they have to pay extra if it runs over.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
That's why we do it.

Speaker 4 (51:49):
But I'm telling you what the Seeds of Hope, what
they got going on that Father Glenn started. Yeah, it's
it's recovery.

Speaker 5 (51:57):
For yes, it is for women with a adiction.

Speaker 4 (52:00):
But now they have opened a third house that allows
the children to Now.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
They have like they call it, is that a three quarterhouse.

Speaker 4 (52:09):
There's three quarterhouse and now halfway three quarter and I
forget what they I think it's the Father Glenn House.
I should really listen or I have it right there when.

Speaker 3 (52:20):
You're just reading.

Speaker 4 (52:21):
Anyways, and their opening Seeds of Change is a free
health clinic.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
That's amazing for the children.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
I mean, you know, eyes, dentist, the whole thing had
to get read, you had to get but all these started,
all these retired doctors.

Speaker 4 (52:40):
It's just you know, Father, the legacy of that father
Glenn left. I mean people still.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Want so you obviously know.

Speaker 6 (52:47):
I mean you see how it has grown. I mean
what it is today compared to when it did start.
That little seed was planted, and it is just amazing
what a legacy has left.

Speaker 2 (52:59):
There, really is. Father Glenn had a personality. He didn't
tell anybody he was sick, and yet he went on
and then all of a sudden we lost him. But
what he did is he left that video or that
recording for the first meeting that he would normally be
doing for planning on all this and if you ever
have you heard it when he goes, hey, rookies, you

(53:20):
thought you lost me, didn't you? Nah? And it was
really one of the cutest things that he did. But
he was dying. And yeah, quite the legacy he's.

Speaker 5 (53:28):
Left, yep.

Speaker 4 (53:29):
And it has gotten and it helps more and more people,
so good for them. They have childcare there, Saint Mary's
is involved, so it really is a cool organization.

Speaker 6 (53:37):
If you're looking I was going to say volunteer, this
is one of those if you're looking for that volunteer
or opportunity in giving Tuesdays also coming up.

Speaker 4 (53:44):
Right and if you can that's what they really need
for the health clinic. They need volunteers. So even if
you can work you know, a shift a month, you know,
four to eight hours or something like that. You know,
maybe you know you're a nurse, retired nurse, or you
know you worked in a you know, a dentist office

(54:04):
or any of those things, then they can use it.
So if you want to get involved in a really
you know, just not a lot of layers of you know,
you know, once organizations get really big and all, this
is still a very small.

Speaker 5 (54:19):
Flat yep, So really cool.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
All right, Seeds of Hope, Seeds of Hope two three nine,
ninety three, ninety three, we're coming right back ninety three WYBC,

(54:50):
back into mind.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
We're at the Sullivant Hardware and yeah, actually it's Allisonville
Home and Garden by Sullivan at one hundred and fourteenth
and Alisonville Road. I want to remind everybody that Radiothon
is on Terry Ln Stacey is going to kick off
the event at six o'clock am sharp.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
You'll be with me.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Yeah, well, but it's your show, no, all right.

Speaker 6 (55:10):
Tony Kats show, and we're just filling in.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Before I was so rudely interrupted we're going to be
starting at six am and we're going to be at
Sullivan Hardware. I believe we're going to be in the
grill Palace. Terry yep. And then off we go for there,
two full days of nothing but raising money for the
Salvation Army.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
Talk to him.

Speaker 6 (55:28):
We had the big kickoff, the holiday kickoff this week
at the Columbia Club. It was a fantastic event. Everyone
you were not there.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
She was ringing the bell. Terry was ringing the bell.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
We're ready to go the kickoff season.

Speaker 6 (55:39):
Our goal this year is four hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
okay in today's piece of cake.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
It's a good goal. We get to hook up with
some old alumni from WIBC. Ashley is there. Ashley it
was with WIBC in promotions forever and she's been a
backbone of helpers for the Salvation Army. Now it'll be
good to see her. But anyway, you remember the twelfth
and the thirteenth of December. Pat Sullivan is so gracious

(56:07):
to let us use sell the seventy first in Keystone
and he's got a special room for us. He sort
of heighten us off from the neighbors.

Speaker 4 (56:14):
I have a special room for you, Denny. I know
that's not where I was always always what I've wonted. Yeah, anyway,
it's so close. I mean, once we get past Turkey Fest,
everything starts to come.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
We got you know, Thanksgiving, and then we got the
radiothon and then all of a sudden we got Christmas.
There you go, and the trains start today.

Speaker 4 (56:35):
The train started at the first train out was nine
fifty this morning. So I tell you what getting that thing.
There's twenty one different vignettes with animation and every one
of them has to be you know wired, so it's
it is quite the Uh. We're so thankful for all
the people at help. I mean a lot of these

(56:56):
you know, retired guys. We have thirty six retired I
think they're all retired, pretty much, thirty six engineers that
drive the train.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
I like to see the boys and well the conductors.
They boys and girls, the boys and girls, and they're
just they're they're playing the role and they're excited about
it and it makes the whole experience. If you bring
in your kids or your grandkids, it's a fun experience.

Speaker 4 (57:18):
Last night at this event, so there wasn't a live auction,
and I'm not a very good auctioneer because I can't
remember the number. So Joe, Big Joe Staysniak is good
because he always knows where we are as far as
and Joe's out with a microphone out among the crowd,
and then I'm on stage. And so you know a
lot of the classic you know, sports packages and stuff

(57:40):
like that, but we also we had a Sullivan Express
package where you got a whole train, so four cars,
so you could have sixteen adults and twenty adults, whatever
you want, and you get one hour one hour in
the Outpost, wow, which is Santa's. Santa's Outpost is a

(58:02):
cozy little place where he sees uh, he sees children
when when he's at the Outpost. It's kind of rustic,
but you know, heat, it air conditioned. Oh yeah, so anyway, anyways, no,
I'm keeping the s off that right now. So you
get one hour. Now, I'm not sure who wants one

(58:22):
hour with Santa. But it's sold for four thousand, five
hundred dollars and two people are bidding, so we'd actually
did two of them, so that raised nine thousand dollars.
Seeds of hope, fantastic.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
That's amazing.

Speaker 4 (58:36):
Yeah, and it the other way, it was more money
than the pacer package or the colts package.

Speaker 6 (58:45):
Is such a the train. I interviewed Katie Man.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
Yes, oh yeah, Indy with Kids.

Speaker 6 (58:51):
She's got a new book out called Where to Take
the Kids Indianapolis.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
Oh no, what you're in the book?

Speaker 6 (58:56):
Oh no, kids, Sullivan Trade, Sullivan, the Holiday Express, the
Sullivan Express is in the book. And she talks a
lot about kids with trains. Anything you can do with
kids and trains, even today is the thing to do.

Speaker 3 (59:07):
But she's got you in the book.

Speaker 5 (59:08):
That's very nice.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
And I will say Katie kind of get their very
first year twenty fifteen, and she gave us our start
because she mentioned it on her on her site all
those years ago.

Speaker 3 (59:22):
She's such an all this stuff.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
The tickets started rolling in and you.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
Should carry the book.

Speaker 6 (59:27):
You should put her book in.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
You should, you should put it in.

Speaker 5 (59:29):
It's a really good idea, but for.

Speaker 3 (59:31):
The holidays and stuff.

Speaker 5 (59:32):
And she's so much as a book like thirty bucks
forty bucks.

Speaker 3 (59:35):
It's much less.

Speaker 6 (59:37):
It's a great little book and it's perfect. It's local,
she's local. She loves you you're in the book. You
should put up stack of books in there.

Speaker 5 (59:43):
I'm going to her, I'm going to do it.

Speaker 9 (59:45):
I got to go.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
I'm going to do that right in texture right now.

Speaker 4 (59:48):
To bring up So, in the very first segment, we
talked about the beautiful ornament balls.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
Yes, up on the ceiling, jingle balls, all right?

Speaker 2 (59:56):
Spell size?

Speaker 4 (59:57):
Okay, So the smallest one, which I would say is
about eight to ten inches in diameter, would you agree?

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
No? Is that the ones right above the sign? Yeah? No,
that's about twelve to eighteen.

Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
Okay, you're wrong, but that's okay. We're gonna roll with.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
It that much.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
If that's eight inches by everybody's what.

Speaker 5 (01:00:14):
Did you guess on that one?

Speaker 6 (01:00:16):
I guess I guess you know what, one hundred bucks?

Speaker 5 (01:00:18):
One hundred bucks?

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
I said one hundred and ten.

Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
But I think, Dan, what did you said?

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
You said sixty nine. I would have guessed it around
seventy nine. I'm gonna go with eighty nine bucks for
the small one.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
Beautiful metal balls.

Speaker 5 (01:00:30):
All right?

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
And that one, the small one is seventy nine dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
Is it really?

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Yeah? I was gonna say seventy nine? What to eighty nine?

Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
The big one which is about well there again, I
would say eighteen inches.

Speaker 5 (01:00:42):
Dani will say twenty four inches.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
The red one that's hanging off the left corner of
the sign, that's about twenty inches, and then the one
above that's about thirty inches.

Speaker 4 (01:00:51):
The big one. It was one hundred and twenty nine bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
That's the green one, and.

Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
I said, I said one seventy nine, so much.

Speaker 6 (01:00:57):
Less than you thought. Yeah, they're beautiful if you've got something.
I mean, they were huge, so you got to have
a sturdy something.

Speaker 5 (01:01:04):
For the right place.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
Three Or how would they make those? I mean, are
those are they metal?

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:01:11):
Yeah, they're metal.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
They're super cool.

Speaker 6 (01:01:13):
Yeah, but they're giant and they really do look like
weathered jingle bells?

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Is there a light on the inside that would shine
through the star and.

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
Only if you put it there down?

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
You'd have to put it there? And I posted a
picture of them on our Facebook page.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
Really good?

Speaker 5 (01:01:26):

grand on windows and they put six windows in and

(01:03:08):
they are perfect.

Speaker 4 (01:03:10):

Speaker 5 (01:03:23):
Tony's gone.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
We have lost control of our calls and Ethan's doing
that back.

Speaker 4 (01:03:29):
And so Terry Allison has some trends in Christmas trees.
But Terry was just noticing on our trees here at
Allisonville and are at Keystone we have a uh you know,
we're selling. We saw a lot of incandescent tree trees
because the the light is so perfect. That incandescent light

(01:03:50):
is so warm, and it's been hard for led to
mimic it. But they've gotten a lot better, a lot better.

Speaker 6 (01:03:56):
But these I think the tree that I'm seeing, which
you said, kind of are the Easter colors.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
Yeah, so yeah, I kind of like them.

Speaker 6 (01:04:05):
They're brilliant purples and blues and pinks, and I.

Speaker 4 (01:04:12):
Just I'm not sure, are you sure you're looking? Because
the Easter one is very pastel looking.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
I don't think those are Christmas colors, so they I
don't either.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
I laugh because I try to tell our guys, hey,
don't leave it on the Easter setting, because I don't
want somebody to think that that's the that's.

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
The dead in my track.

Speaker 6 (01:04:31):
So it did as I'm passing by it, and I'm thinking, wow,
this is kind of the colors as you that are
so piercing.

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
But you can dim that down right, So.

Speaker 4 (01:04:39):
These trees they can be clear, they can be solid
just the regular multi or they can be as I say,
the Easter setting, but then you can also dim them.
And I think that solves It solves problems for people
that can't decide whether or husband wants multi, wife wants
uh clear. Yeah, and it kind of you know, they

(01:05:00):
can fight with the remote.

Speaker 5 (01:05:01):
All night long.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
Al Allison has come up with some new trends and
I don't know where you got the new Christmas trends.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
Quickly.

Speaker 6 (01:05:07):
I just want to ask for quick, just real quick,
and that is you know, I'm so and we all
are loving these lamps that you can just charge so
you can put your lamps anywhere in the middle of
the room in different places where you don't have electrical outfits, outlets,
you just can charge these and we love them. Do
they do anything like that with trees? There's like a
smaller tree.

Speaker 3 (01:05:26):
Is there anything that you can you can just plug
in and charge?

Speaker 4 (01:05:29):
There's you know we haven't there's battery operated wreaths and garlands,
but I.

Speaker 6 (01:05:36):
Haven't gotten to the charging stage yet.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
We can do that on power tools. That's a great idea, Terry.

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
Well, I didn't know if you could charging last for
how long?

Speaker 6 (01:05:47):
Well, my lamp is my lamp will has six days,
six seven days non stop. Well not NonStop, but you know,
like if my light I wouldn't have a tree on NonStop,
but you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
Know right I would because I have holidays spirit.

Speaker 3 (01:06:01):
Even when you're not in the house.

Speaker 5 (01:06:02):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
It's the fire hazard, do you know?

Speaker 5 (01:06:04):
I know?

Speaker 4 (01:06:06):
Okay, So anyway, so you're saying, but how bright is it?

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
It's it's good.

Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
I mean compare it to forty watts sixty.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
Watt, I would say not as good.

Speaker 5 (01:06:17):
Twenty five watt.

Speaker 6 (01:06:18):
Maybe maybe more like a forty. Yeah, maybe like a forty,
but that's what I ordered. Maybe there's more powerful one.

Speaker 4 (01:06:25):
I don't know. I just think, you know what in
camping and all that, if you have a place that
you need a light light, I think that's great. But
I will go with a cord and electricity any day.

Speaker 7 (01:06:37):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:06:37):
Sometimes it's and it's the same thing like outside.

Speaker 4 (01:06:40):
You know, we brought in solar lights last year, solar
Christmas lights, and they're a complete bomb. I mean I
spent a lot of money on them, and we still
have the inventory. But it's just like.

Speaker 3 (01:06:53):
If people have I don't have any faith in solar.

Speaker 4 (01:06:55):
If people have a cord, you know, you can plug
them in, you plug them in, but it just has
an I think solar obviously, this is a a company
from Denmark or the Netherlands that we buy from, and
I think in Europe, I think the solar is a big,
big deal over there, but it just hasn't a little

(01:07:16):
true like.

Speaker 6 (01:07:16):
The ones I'm looking at up here. Also, smaller trees,
what does that maybe like.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
A foot behind all?

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
I love the tiny tree.

Speaker 6 (01:07:23):
I love the tiny trees too, and I'm thinking, how
cool would that be that I didn't have to actually
plug that in somewhere, that I could just charge it
like my lamp and I could put that anywhere in
the house that might not be next to a like
I think could be a centerpiece.

Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
I remember when you weren't so lazy. I was about
to say, it's never good enough. You've got to be better.

Speaker 5 (01:07:44):
Give us your trends, Allison.

Speaker 8 (01:07:45):
Oh yeah, So I've been noticing on the internet this
year there's a lot of different kinds of fake trees
that are starting to become more popular. And every time
I see that, I'm like, oh, Pat would hate that.
Oh Pat would hate that. So I'm gonna show you
guys what they are.

Speaker 3 (01:07:59):
There's four.

Speaker 8 (01:08:01):
The first one is instead of an artificial Christmas tree,
it's a Christmas cactus. So it's a seven foot Christmas
tree like a cactus.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
I love it.

Speaker 8 (01:08:14):
Okay, so not too bad. Well it's uh, that's the
first one. This second one, I think, since the Grinch
has become more and more.

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
Popular then is so popular.

Speaker 8 (01:08:26):
So this one is a six foot artificial crooked neck
Christmas tree. To the top of the tree its kind
of down, so it's almost cartoon.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
Christmas tree. You know. That's just stick.

Speaker 6 (01:08:39):
Yeah, it's just that every giant loved And this is
for the Grinch.

Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
I'm gonna say maybe on that one, because we've had
those in small, small versions, but I've never seen a
seven foot version.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
The next one, Terry will Love Pat. I don't know.
Is it a cat upside down Christmas tree?

Speaker 5 (01:08:57):
I love upside down?

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
You do love them.

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
I would have.

Speaker 8 (01:09:01):
Never guessed that. So it's an artificial tree. It's quite
literally an upside down the tree.

Speaker 6 (01:09:05):
They've been popular for a long time, well not a
lot time, but they've been written to make it a
reassurgent actor.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
And I wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (01:09:10):
Say I wouldn't say they're popular, but I would say
they're interesting for stores. Now, the video or the one
you're showing there is really not proper because the idea
is that it's up against the ceiling so that.

Speaker 5 (01:09:24):
It looks like it is just hanging on the ceiling.

Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
Oh these yeah, these have their own stands.

Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
Well, they all have their own stands. They don't really
hang on the ceiling.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
Oh, I see it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:33):
It's kind of an illusion where you put it up
against the But they've been around and they're they're a
little harder to decorate.

Speaker 6 (01:09:43):
That's kind of what I was looking at, because yeah,
you're still going to have to have a ladder one
way or another, whether you're a.

Speaker 5 (01:09:49):
Matter of fact.

Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
At the show last January, I was like, do you
think talking to one of our decorators, I think it's
time to bring back the upside down tree?

Speaker 8 (01:09:57):
They go, no, they are all over the internet this
year people, And I don't know too. A lot of
people say their cats don't climb on them. I don't
know if that's true.

Speaker 3 (01:10:07):
I don't know. I feel like the cats will take
the challenge, still go on them, you know, no matter.

Speaker 4 (01:10:11):
I will say that things like that, anything that seems real,
like kind of trendy everyone because that's so cool, like
the cactus. In my experience, it's like everyone goes, oh,
that's so cool, but nobody really buys them.

Speaker 6 (01:10:23):
Right, that's that's that's probably true. How much is that tree,
upside down tree?

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
The upside down tree? This one is from Walmart?

Speaker 8 (01:10:34):
Sixty five dollars sixty five dollars, seven footnot is.

Speaker 5 (01:10:38):
An extremely crappy tree?

Speaker 8 (01:10:41):
Yeah, I mean well, and maybe that's when you want
to buy an upside down tree from how many lights?

Speaker 5 (01:10:44):
How many how many lights are on that on that wall?
Walmart tree?

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:10:51):
I think it's smart to be that that low of
a price, because it is maybe just something you made
me want to try right like eight into it.

Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
But I will tell you that you're setting yourself up
for disappointment because a sixty five dollars tree is going
to look like hell. If you really want to look,
get the look is you can get good trees in
an upside down tree.

Speaker 8 (01:11:11):
Or if you don't know, if you like to look,
maybe by the cheap one. One year you'll like it
been actually the best. Can I show you my final
and favorite one?

Speaker 11 (01:11:17):
All right?

Speaker 8 (01:11:17):
My favorite meaning crazy. It's called the foldable Christmas tree.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
I love it. It comes flat in it's little circle
and it's already decorated and you just pull it down.
It's it. Yep, And that is a foldable Christmas. Aren't
those great? I think they're great. I've seen those for
a few years too. I don't like them. No, someone
can see through them really easy.

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
Believe it or not.

Speaker 4 (01:11:41):
There's a warehouse in Indianapolis that they warehouse those trees,
and somebody tried to sell it to me, and I'm like,
and I just passed on it.

Speaker 5 (01:11:50):
I just like, I just think it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:52):
Doesn't fit your story. I don't think that type of
a tree I mean you you're you're the real deep.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
That would be easy for an office. You just sort
of pull it down, you can fold it back in.

Speaker 4 (01:12:02):
It's almost like everything that's wrong about.

Speaker 8 (01:12:04):
The holidays, it just seems so not lazy. I don't
it just there's no personality too, because.

Speaker 4 (01:12:09):
It's boom drop you know. Yeah, you pull the velcrow
tabs on that boom tree.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
Yep. I mean maybe it would work like a classrooms, Alison.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
You're going to put those on.

Speaker 8 (01:12:17):
Facebook for yeah, And I will say Jack Phipps, who
is here at Allisonville, he already said he sent me
his suggestion, which is the spinning tree, which everyone loves
a good spinning Christmas tree too.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
I love spinning Christmas tree.

Speaker 4 (01:12:29):
This is from the market last year and we were
fascinated with this, and you buy. They just bought the
motor from the internet and it actually and they have
it over the top of a dinner table and it's
just like it's just it was. And that's one of
the things where like and when you're a buyer, you
go buy and go, oh my gosh, that is so cool.

(01:12:50):
But then which one of your customers are going.

Speaker 5 (01:12:54):
To do that?

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
I think the spinning one would sell more than the
full tub.

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
And what wait a minute, how do you get the power?
If it's spinning, you've got to get power to it.
If it's if, is it going to wind up the core? No?

Speaker 5 (01:13:07):
No, it's all right. They've got that handle. Trust me
on that. Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:13:12):
Is it the tree you buy the whole tree is spinner?
Or is it the like this lazy susan.

Speaker 4 (01:13:16):
They weren't even selling it. They were just selling the
look and the ornaments and what they had. Their decorators
had had found this motor online and then took a
tree because think about if you if you hung a tree,
it would just fall apart. So they they screwed each
section together so it was one piece and it just spins.

Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
It was.

Speaker 5 (01:13:37):
It was absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Gorgeous out of a tree.

Speaker 4 (01:13:40):
I believe it was about a seven foot if I
recall correctly.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
Dolly, Still, I'm not convinced they can still light the
lights without something, Ny?

Speaker 4 (01:13:50):
Could you could you just trust me? I do trust
you about as far as because you got to remember
you can buy a rotating stand or a Christmas tree
so that you just put it on the ground and
you instead of using your stand, that came with it.

Speaker 5 (01:14:05):
You just pop it in and it spins.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
That's cool.

Speaker 4 (01:14:09):
And they've they it's it's magical because the cord just
kind of follows it around.

Speaker 6 (01:14:13):
I am looking just to see how much something like
that cost the spinners. They're thirty one bucks for sixty
nine dollars. But you're right, I'm wondering about where how
are You're your cords work?

Speaker 5 (01:14:24):
Trust me?

Speaker 4 (01:14:25):
You have to trust me that this all works.

Speaker 3 (01:14:29):
Okay, it's me.

Speaker 5 (01:14:30):
My friends are so like, trust me, We're it works.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
We've been burned before, Pat, We're season since colored trees?

Speaker 6 (01:14:39):
Is there a picture color that's like a tree, A
pink tree, a.

Speaker 4 (01:14:43):
Black tree that has kind of gone away?

Speaker 5 (01:14:46):
But they always have a color that they are.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
And you know what I always say to our because
we'll have dinners at the show and usually there's fourteen
of us and they'll start talking about, oh my gosh,
did you see the pink?

Speaker 5 (01:14:57):
Pink? Was the color last year? Pink? Pink?

Speaker 4 (01:14:59):
I said, Now, I looking at Leen, I go, you
know what I heard? The colors for Christmas are going
to be red and green this year? Oh boy, because
that's generally.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Attention.

Speaker 4 (01:15:10):
And I said, if you want to dabble and get
a little bit just to show how crazy you are.
That's fine, but it generally is not going to bebody
not really.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
People love to.

Speaker 4 (01:15:21):
Look at that stuff, but ultimately when it comes down
to it, now sometimes because we have a lot of
customers that are putting up ten and twelve trees.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
Oh so certainly for them they make it a theme.

Speaker 5 (01:15:31):
Yeah, they would make a theme and that that would work.

Speaker 4 (01:15:33):
So I'm not saying it doesn't, but it's like, it's
not like you want to put.

Speaker 5 (01:15:37):
All your eggs in that basket.

Speaker 4 (01:15:38):
Because from what I heard, red and green, it's going
to be very popular this year.

Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
Before we live, Before we go, I want.

Speaker 5 (01:15:47):

Speaker 5 (01:18:28):
It's so small.

Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
Oh it's small. Yeah, we have Brad.

Speaker 4 (01:18:35):
Brad, welcome to the program.

Speaker 9 (01:18:38):
Good morning, great show. Hey two, I bought two trees,
had to go back. I got a ten percent discount
of cracker barrel because I'm a veteran, and they're twenty
five percent off. Anyway, they're called snow globe trees. They're
like a white light. They do have some small colored
lights and the glitter goes around and around and around.

(01:18:59):
It's the most beautiful tree I could ever imagine. And
I wanted to send a third one to somebody far away.
And I couldn't even find it on their website. I
did find a snow globe tree, but this is so cool.
I don't know how they make the glitter go. I
don't know how they do it. Most beautiful tree I've
ever seen. They're twenty five percent off and you can
only find the kind I got in store.

Speaker 4 (01:19:21):
So are how big are those these things there?

Speaker 9 (01:19:25):
I would guess eight to ten inches and maybe six
inches round at the bottom.

Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
They're beautiful. I'm not kidding inside.

Speaker 6 (01:19:32):
So that's a nice sized little tree.

Speaker 9 (01:19:35):
Oh, it's awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:19:36):
When you say snow globe, is it like traditional?

Speaker 9 (01:19:39):
Like you there?

Speaker 4 (01:19:39):
You'll see water and U and I could you shake up?

Speaker 9 (01:19:42):
And no, you don't have to shake it up. Yeah.
I put three double A batteries in. I have no
idea how the glitter keeps flowing, but it does. It's
heavy and you got fluid in it. And now the
ones that got online for somebody far away don't have
the little colored lights. This will is white like crystal,
but it does have the little bitty colored lights, and

(01:20:04):
I can only find that in the store. It's really cool.

Speaker 3 (01:20:10):
Right now, it is beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:20:12):
It's a cracker barrel exclusive and so you.

Speaker 3 (01:20:15):
But you only can get it in the store, is
what you're saying. And you can't. You can't just order
it online.

Speaker 9 (01:20:20):
Yeah I did order something similar. I ordered something similar,
but not the same thing and not right.

Speaker 4 (01:20:26):
And because online it says here it's a Cracker Cracker
Barrel exclusive almost gone, only zero left.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
Oh there's nothing.

Speaker 9 (01:20:34):
Yeah. Yeah, and the one I wanted, the one I
ordered for a friend, it's got the little lights on it.
But the one in the store with the little lights too,
is that much better? The great gift bags and everything.

Speaker 4 (01:20:49):
Hey, thanks for the call, Brad. We appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:52):
And I do like Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 20 (01:20:53):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
I love Cracker Barrel. Oh I love Cracker Barrel. I
love the little store.

Speaker 5 (01:20:58):
You know, Cracker Barrel was so on that whole youre were.
I just that bugs me.

Speaker 4 (01:21:03):
I mean they're, you know, a business should always be,
you know, trying to hold onto their past. But to
still they they've got to mono, you know, have a
new look and change. I mean, business has changed. And
all the bullies came out and said, oh you should stay. No,
they should not stay. I mean revamping your sign and
your logo, and it's like, what the hell is. I mean,

(01:21:25):
we have such a bully mentality with the Internet. Everybody's
so smart.

Speaker 2 (01:21:30):
I just well, you better not be selling anything to
the governor again. You know, every time people gets the
highest level of grouchiness about the stupidest stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:21:40):
Grouchy things going on.

Speaker 6 (01:21:41):
You know what about of my my mother in law's
grave headstone, thievery.

Speaker 3 (01:21:49):
Stole some of the saddle with the flowers.

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
Oh no way.

Speaker 6 (01:21:53):
But then when that was posted about it happening, everybody
reached out and said, you know, I can't tell you
how many times I've had to replace urns I've had
to replace people steal stealing from grave sites like crazy,
throwing them.

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
And no it's bronze. They can melt them down.

Speaker 6 (01:22:10):
Runs from the urns are the flower vases, I guess
you would call them, but you put flowers in there.
People stealing like crazy in cemeteries from cemeteries.

Speaker 3 (01:22:21):
I feel like, really, I.

Speaker 5 (01:22:23):
Can't even I can't wrap my head around that.

Speaker 3 (01:22:26):
I can't understand. I mean, we've really lost our way,
haven't we.

Speaker 5 (01:22:28):
Yeah, I kind of think we do.

Speaker 4 (01:22:30):
All right, Hey, we're here at Allisonville Homan Garden by Sullivan.
We're gonna be here till one o'clock. Come on out
and see us. Our number three is coming up, ninety
three WIBC.

Speaker 3 (01:22:50):
We some loops.

Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
See they've grown up men step just little boys.

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
That really the only difference is the price of our call.

Speaker 4 (01:23:00):
We're going next Jared in the WIBCI Center. N We
are here the Home and Garden Show. We're at Allisonville
Homan Garden by Sullivan, one of our family stores in Fisher's.

Speaker 5 (01:23:11):
This is a beautiful store.

Speaker 4 (01:23:12):
We've owned it for about five six years, I think,
and it really has This is a beautiful piece of property.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
He bought this the first year I retired, and it
was a middle of well two weeks after you closed,
we had it was COVID.

Speaker 4 (01:23:27):
Yeah, the Gatewoods own this. Jeff and Nancy did a
tremendous job with it. It's just a beautiful piece of property.
And then we've put our stamp on it a little
bit and you know, added on and some different things.
So but it is it really is just a beautiful,
beautiful store. Very proud of this one.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
There are a lot if you're looking for different ways
to decorate, there are wonderful little vignettes throughout this store.
Not so much here in the greenhouse, but to the
west side where the new building and the old building
are together, just like three or four different vignettes, and
you'll enjoy seeing it and you'll think, oh, I wish
I'd have thought of that, you know, even though.

Speaker 4 (01:24:05):
Like we have like, uh, there's one of the artificial trees,
and underneath it is we're selling the uh, the little
plastic where you get a what do they call them, uh,
the bunches of alls and the bunches kind of forget
it doesn't matter, see, but the way they've they've got
them in fiber pots underneath the tree, and it's so

(01:24:28):
beautiful looking him thinking, wow, that'd be kind of cool
just under your own tree, you know, having some ornament
balls and.

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
You don't have the tree and take them all leave
them in the basket.

Speaker 5 (01:24:36):
Well not that then, yeah, you do what.

Speaker 3 (01:24:39):
Are those called?

Speaker 8 (01:24:40):
I'm gonna look at the tag talk amongst yourselves talking.

Speaker 5 (01:24:44):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:24:44):
The thing is, you know, I've I've reached that point
where I just the names and stuff just you.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
Were talking about you were talking about, you know, putting
a tinsil on tinsel used to be made out of
tin and lead together. Oh nice, and you could compress
that with your fingers in the fifties and it'd make
a little bebie. And the boys would, you know, they
when they'd see one, they'd take it off and compress
it and then wait to throw it at one of
their buddies. But it was tin and lead.

Speaker 4 (01:25:10):
Yeah, do you remember putting on tinsel? It was always
like your mother wanted you to take one piece of
tensil at a time and lay it over and then
you know, the five year old boy was grabbing honks
of it, just.

Speaker 2 (01:25:24):
Throwing it or throwing it up in the air and
hope it would land the right way. Called stemballs stemballs, yep,
I was going to say stemballs.

Speaker 3 (01:25:33):
It just flows, which kind of makes sense. It's a
little stems, so.

Speaker 4 (01:25:36):
It's a combination. So that's a combination. I think there's
twelve balls on that. And then you would work that
into a wreath or into a garland.

Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
Or we just put them in a bucket at the bottom.

Speaker 5 (01:25:46):
Of the tree.

Speaker 4 (01:25:46):
It looks good at a bucket the bottom of the tree.
And then what we've been watching here we're in the
greenhouse at Alisonville and our event center is just to
the north of us. Here and we've been watching the
ladies come by. There was a porch.

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
Pot class Prosecco and porch pots.

Speaker 8 (01:26:01):
Oh so the lady's got some prosecco and then they
made their own holiday porch pots. And I believe there's
a couple more classes that god throughout the holiday season
on their website.

Speaker 2 (01:26:11):
The one lady went by and she said, the more
I drank, the better it looked great.

Speaker 4 (01:26:18):
All right, So Allison, I would like you to explain
the Allisonville Winter Wonderland at Allisonville, because I did such
a poor job of it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:28):
Oh no, you did great. No he didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
Don't telling me did good when he did bad.

Speaker 8 (01:26:33):
But yeah, So Allisonville, it's their first annual winter Wonderland experience,
so they have they call it Candy Cane Lane. It's
a walking path experience. So if you've ever ridden the
train or been here for Pumpkin Town, you know there's
different holiday vignettes with different themes. Well, this year they
have a free walking path where you can go and
see some of these vignettes and.

Speaker 3 (01:26:52):
Walk through it. The hours are Thursday and Friday, Saturday
and Sunday specific hours are online and then on Saturdays
they have Saturday Santa, so you can buy a ticket
to go see Santa at the end of Candy Cane
Lane and you know, give them your wish rights.

Speaker 4 (01:27:05):
Now, it has nothing to do with the Sullivan Express
at Keystone.

Speaker 3 (01:27:09):
Correct.

Speaker 8 (01:27:09):
There is no trains here at Allisonville. But it's a
little more relaxed. This is just more relaxed, like a
sip and stroll like you.

Speaker 4 (01:27:16):
So you have you have to buy it. You have
to buy a ticket for so there's but the walkway.

Speaker 8 (01:27:22):
Is free, walkways free, and there's tons of great photo
op opportunities.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
And tell us what you saw. Give us one example
of a vignette that you really like.

Speaker 3 (01:27:32):
Oh, they have a good candy Candyland experience maybe, and.

Speaker 4 (01:27:37):
They mix in some animation. There's most of the events
vignettes have animation to them. It starts on the twenty
twenty nights, so next morning, so a lot of it
is still under construction. Yesa might think how are they
going to do that? That's what everybody always says. It's
like these things, trust me, when you get the deadline coming,
they come together.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
They come together.

Speaker 8 (01:27:58):
But they also have a whole bunch of different events
going on. Throughout the month, so make sure you check
their website at Allisonville Garden dot com.

Speaker 5 (01:28:05):
I think it's Allisonvil Nursery dot com, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:28:08):

dot com.

Speaker 8 (01:28:11):

you guys are special on pat You're right there, buddy.
Congratulations So we're talking about it.

Speaker 4 (01:29:31):
Yes, I was MC and the Seeds of Hope and
I was the MC and I'm like irritated because my
cousin is like, I am so far behind, you know,
I'm trying to keep this thing on. And the second
award and they go they gave it to me. So
that was very, very touchy. And I'm so dumb because
my entire family was there and I just assumed they
were there to support the Seeds of Hope, which they were,

(01:29:54):
but I think that so it was very nice and I,
for the record, you are kind of dumb. I am
no not, I am done. Hey, John, Now listen to this.
Uh So last year at the same event.

Speaker 3 (01:30:07):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:30:07):
We had ed Carpenter because father Glenn was a big
race fan.

Speaker 5 (01:30:12):
So a lot of times there's a little racing theme
to it.

Speaker 4 (01:30:14):
So we had a minister within the yes, yes he
was ta, yep he was yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:30:20):
So he was with with the any racing.

Speaker 4 (01:30:23):
Yeah, and he would hear their confessions and if there
was any kind of like stuff that you know, secrets,
he would pass.

Speaker 5 (01:30:29):
It along to his team.

Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:30:33):
So last year we have ed Carpenter and I interviewed
him and I thought I asked some interesting questions like
what if you need to urinate?

Speaker 5 (01:30:43):
Uh? And then which which driver?

Speaker 4 (01:30:45):
And he I guess Connor Daily is the one that
is known as the biggest urinator.

Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
Yees, so he is the one.

Speaker 4 (01:30:54):
So I did such a great job that this year
we had Alexander Rossi on and they in day first.

Speaker 5 (01:31:00):
I interview him.

Speaker 2 (01:31:01):
What do you think about that? That's not a vote
of confidence.

Speaker 6 (01:31:05):
I'm saying you didn't get picked to talk to him
to bring somebody else.

Speaker 2 (01:31:08):
Now, because I was going to ask him how much
HEP's and.

Speaker 11 (01:31:10):
That are man, the urination question is a great one.
I don't know why anybody would find fault of that seriously,
what do you do? I mean, if you're like me,
I don't know about anybody else. I'm fifty five going
to be fifty six years old, and you know I
had the sensation that I need to urinate as I'm
actually urinating. That's how quick we turnaround is now for me?

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
There there used to be a rumor that the developers
at Procter and Gamble worked on the first adult diapers
for the Astronauts. That was a rumor. We never knew
if it was true or not. But you gotta go.
You gotta go. Whether when they like that torch and
you're blasting off into space, you better have something going on.

Speaker 5 (01:31:47):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Do you think I live in the country?

Speaker 9 (01:31:49):
Did he?

Speaker 11 (01:31:50):
I made?

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
I know you like to pee on your own bushes?

Speaker 11 (01:31:53):
I do, and I stopped that for a while, but
sometimes now I just can't.

Speaker 9 (01:31:57):
You know.

Speaker 11 (01:31:58):
Kind of working in that category of where it comes by.

Speaker 17 (01:32:01):
So often that you'll know, you'll know you're being caught
by the neighbors is when you go out there and
you start to go the light and the neighbors' lights
go out.

Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
That means they can see you better. Okay, Well, there was.

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
A question about just this week.

Speaker 6 (01:32:18):
That was a question that was you know, asked for
a response, and that is, is it okay for the
neighbors to have their cameras on your backyard?

Speaker 2 (01:32:27):
Oh? That makes me grounded. I would say, no, they
have the right.

Speaker 4 (01:32:31):
Let me tell you that make it right?

Speaker 2 (01:32:34):
Okay, they've got poor taste, or they're they're trying to
watch the.

Speaker 6 (01:32:38):
Corner of their house, right, but you're but it actually
is focusing on your beIN right.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
So they got bad manners, but they can't they're allowed
to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:32:45):
I'm not saying they're not allowed. I'm just saying just
because it's right, it's not right.

Speaker 11 (01:32:49):
I feel really comfortable about that though, because my neighbors
would need a telescope, not just a camera.

Speaker 3 (01:32:55):
So I see where you went there, Joby.

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
Tell us about tonight, as I understand, it's a free
for all because this is your last show tonight.

Speaker 11 (01:33:04):
It is we go to Christmas music hiatus after tonight,
so we'll throw it all out as we normally do,
and we will restart season six coming up on New
Year's Eve. So I got about a month off after tonight,
so a breather is necessary. I am I can't lie,
this is not I love it. I absolutely love it.

(01:33:27):
There's no job in this job, and that's exactly what
I was looking for when you know, I decided to
do all this. But I am a little bit tired,
There's no doubt. This time of year, I just started
to get tired because that's seven days a week from
Labor Day, you know, kind of on. So I'm a
little bit tired and looking forward to the Christmas music
hiatus but tonight and then to start season number six.

(01:33:49):
The fact that now this has become essential programming is
very gratified because it just got created from a sense
of boredom and COVID and nobody being able to go anywhere.
And that's that's where great ideas and radio and listen,
this is what we love radio too, because you you know,
people talk about organic and you know spontaneity and you

(01:34:12):
know ideas and being original, and you know, this is
an old school idea that is in terms now original
again because nobody does it anymore. So I'm glad I
do it. I'm just a little worn out, no doubt.

Speaker 4 (01:34:23):
You know, with voice voice tracking and such, you just
don't get you know, there's nobody that's doing a live
radio or live request radio on a Saturday night, it's
just not there. So it's it's a pretty cool thing.
And Fulton already filled us in on tonight is going
to be anything goes.

Speaker 11 (01:34:43):
Yes, he did. Now how we do with Singing in
the Rain?

Speaker 4 (01:34:46):
By the way, dude, I'm telling you what, that production
was really really enjoyable.

Speaker 5 (01:34:51):
That's great Fulton.

Speaker 4 (01:34:52):
Fulton killed his line and then he came out a
couple of times. But one other time when Don Lockwood
was out doing the song Singing and Rain, and his
part was to come out as a cop and throw
them out, and he did that very very good. So
good for Fulton's and it's really cool. That community I'm

(01:35:12):
calling it community Theater. I assume that's what it is. Yeah,
so it's the White River Christian Church in Doubles. Yeah,
it's they call it the Attic Theater. Uh and uh
it is. They've got a so at two o'clock today
they have a matinee and this is the last day
of it. Two o'clock matinee and a seven o'clock tonight.

(01:35:33):
Well worth it. It's a it's a lot of fun
and it was really cool to see Fulton at his best.

Speaker 11 (01:35:38):
He it's great to see him get so excited about
stuff to Pat. I mean you can see the just
the just brewing over enjoyment that he has and a
production like that. I mean you see that anyway when
you see him out, because that's just what he projects
and that's awesome. But when he's going to production a.

Speaker 9 (01:35:54):
Lot of that.

Speaker 4 (01:35:55):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
So for tonight, it's everything from Fleetwood Mac to Ray Stevens.
You can say anything, yeah, yeah, cool, Yeah, Well I do.

Speaker 11 (01:36:05):
I do that normally anyway, but I think it's even
more magnified tonight considering it's going to be the the
last one for a while, so at least for a month,
you know, in that month ago, so quick it'll be
just like that, it'll be over.

Speaker 4 (01:36:19):
But mondays, Yeah, when does be one five switch over
to Christmas?

Speaker 5 (01:36:24):
Or have they already right after?

Speaker 11 (01:36:27):
Is it Monday? I thought it was Monday? Is it
that Monday? Guys?

Speaker 2 (01:36:31):
This Monday after Thanksgiving?

Speaker 11 (01:36:35):
I this Monday?

Speaker 6 (01:36:39):
John, You're right, it's this Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:36:40):
John.

Speaker 4 (01:36:41):
You know what the first program, first program director I
ever had.

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
If you don't.

Speaker 4 (01:36:45):
Always said you know, if you don't know the answer,
don't bring it up. And every week we we we
we ponder things.

Speaker 5 (01:36:52):
We have no idea what the answer is.

Speaker 11 (01:36:54):
You know, It's even more shocking about about the show
in general is the fact that that there's some that's
a program director that says, Okay, we got this afternoon
clown that does sports and he wants to play whatever
he wants and then takes calls for six hours on
our highly ranked radio station. And the fact that anybody
in this era lets that happen is incredible. I think

(01:37:16):
that's maybe the most I get out of this is, Wow,
they actually let that happen in an era in which nobody.

Speaker 2 (01:37:23):
Let you dare sell yourself short. You've got talent on
both ends, buddy, And I'm not talking about your feet
in your head. You can do ball, you do.

Speaker 4 (01:37:32):
It's funny you staid feet and head. I was thinking
had and rear.

Speaker 18 (01:37:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:35):
Well I was trying to clean it up because he
yelled at me about that. But anyway, you've got that
photographic memory going.

Speaker 11 (01:37:42):
Let me tell you this, though, is how much of
it in this world into doing something really special is
about how much you show up and have enthusiasm when
you show up, how much if you're going from one
to one percent of how much it takes to make
something happen like that. I think those are just being
there and then being enthusiastic when you're there almost all

(01:38:06):
the way, I think to present something that is thoroughly enjoyable,
I think sometimes that gets lost.

Speaker 4 (01:38:14):
I agree, I agree, and hopefully you know, that's what
I hope for everyone, is that they enjoy their work,
because it shouldn't be. I mean, I don't feel like
I don't feel like I ever go to work.

Speaker 5 (01:38:24):
I go to play either. So there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:38:27):
Maybe, all right, John, what do you think about the Colts?
I looked at that Colts schedule and boy o boy,
that is a tough schedule.

Speaker 11 (01:38:35):
Yeah, and now it looks even tougher the way Houston
played defense on Thursday night, and you know, yeah, Jacksonville
kind of you know, in the rear view a little
bit closer. And then you have a desperate Kansas City
team tomorrow. I think those are going to be really
tough for the Colts. Do I think they compete, yes?
Do I think they can win it?

Speaker 9 (01:38:52):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (01:38:53):
But really have we seen a situation like this with
Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes? I mean, their backs.

Speaker 2 (01:38:59):
Are firmly against the wall.

Speaker 11 (01:39:01):
Oh absolute must win, and it's hard for me to
believe that Patrick Mahomes is going to fail in a
situation like this. I don't think that that is a
description on who the Colts actually are, like the rest
of the NFL universe will suggest if they lose. But
I think that this Kansas City team is going to

(01:39:21):
have even more inspiration because you go under five hundred now,
especially in that division they're in, you may be done.

Speaker 3 (01:39:28):
You might be done.

Speaker 11 (01:39:29):
So this is a must win for them. That's going
to be very tough for the Colts, but they have
Jonathan Taylor, who's the MVP.

Speaker 4 (01:39:37):
And you guys from the worst time.

Speaker 11 (01:39:39):
For the first time this season, we're going to see
this secondary that has I think the opportunity to be
the best secondary in the NFL. Because Savarius Ward is
going to be back, He's going to have Sauce Gardner
with him, Kenny Moore, Nick Cross, and Cam Bonham. Watch
for that. For the first time, we're going to see
I think the best secondary at least potential, we've ever

(01:40:00):
seen with the Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 2 (01:40:03):
And that's a big deal. Coming up tomorrow afternoon.

Speaker 4 (01:40:06):
Daniel Jones ready to go.

Speaker 11 (01:40:08):
Yeah, they said he's good to go. It was some
kind of calf situation, calf injury, which I think are
commonplace nowadays but can lead to, you know, as we
saw at Kyries Halliburton, much worse things. But yeah, he
has been deemed as good to go, and we shall
see what takes play. I think if you hang in
and you can rely on Jonathan Taylor two things. Offensively,

(01:40:30):
Jonathan Taylor and the Chiefs have not been good against
Tidy ends. Tyler Warren, the rookie, I think, has an
opportunity to really exploit that against the Chiefs and the
Cults are able to do that. You can maintain and win,
but you may ultimately get way too much of a
motivated because you have to be at this point. Patrick
Mahomes coming up tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (01:40:49):
We'll see there you go.

Speaker 5 (01:40:51):
JMV.

Speaker 4 (01:40:51):
You can hear him tonight on B one oh five
point seven. It's the JMB takeover, the final one before
the holiday break. We're coming right back with more. Hey,
Pat Sullivan here for Sullivan Hardware and Garden and Allisonville
Home and Garden by Sullivan in Fisher's. The holiday season
is here, and I would say we're the place to
go for an artificial tree. Both Allisonville and our Keystone

(01:41:13):
location have between us. See, Allisonville has about eighty trees up,
so they're getting right there where. We have one hundred
and twenty five up at Keystone. And I'm telling you
what we have. I think we have the very best tree.
It's our own brand. It's called Sullivan Christmas, and we
repair them so we're not bouncing around to find the
best price. We find the best tree. If you look

(01:41:35):
in a couple of things, it's the lighting system we
have either led but even our in incandescent bulbs. Even
though it looks like a regular clear set, it's so
much better with the thermoster that keeps them from burning
out and snapping off and making you go crazy. Also,
on the inside, you know the little pipe that holds
the tree up about one in a quarter one and

(01:41:56):
a half inch. For most places, ours has a full
two inch post in that thing makes it a lot
more sturdy.

Speaker 2 (01:42:04):
It looks like a trunk. When you stand back and
look inside, it does look trunk. It's well decorated everything.

Speaker 5 (01:42:10):
And that's a little something extually put on there.

Speaker 4 (01:42:12):
The stands are rebar stands, which are incredible, so we'll
always take care of it for you. So we have
that the live greens are in fresh trees are being
hung this week, So stop by Sullivan Hardware and Garden,
won't you seventy seventy first and Keystone for Allison Allisonville
Homan Garden by Sullivan and Fistures and Sullivan Hardware dot Com.

Speaker 21 (01:42:37):

Morning, walking back.

Speaker 4 (01:43:03):
My name is Shaq, and Allison celebrated a birthday this week.

Speaker 3 (01:43:09):
I did, yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:43:10):
I was on the twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:43:11):
First, twentieth very close though.

Speaker 5 (01:43:13):
I'm dialing in on it.

Speaker 8 (01:43:14):
And you even sang to me I did, yeah, I was.
I was working at Sullivan's that morning.

Speaker 5 (01:43:19):
I sang in the office.

Speaker 4 (01:43:19):
Everyone was so amazed that I could sing song, and
I sang Denny's song. It didn't exactly get it all right.
I had to improvise a little bit. Today is your
birthday year older than yep. What a wonderful feeling. At
least it's what Yeah, So I wasn't perfect, but I
think it's beautiful.

Speaker 5 (01:43:39):
I think my heart was in the right place.

Speaker 3 (01:43:40):
It was. I was very touched. And then I got
an official song from Denny a couple of months later.

Speaker 2 (01:43:47):
You just had to be first, didn't you.

Speaker 5 (01:43:48):
Pat.

Speaker 3 (01:43:49):
Well, you know, it's a lucky lady, being Sarah Iry.

Speaker 4 (01:43:52):
She was standing in the office, so and you know
it was on my calendar, so I actually knew. And
I think the what the girls bringing a bunch of
sweets or something.

Speaker 8 (01:44:00):
Yeah, they brought some coffee cake and flowers. It was really,
really really sweet.

Speaker 5 (01:44:04):
That's very nice.

Speaker 3 (01:44:05):
Yeah, such a good group, very very lucky to work
with them.

Speaker 4 (01:44:08):
That's oh, that's so nice. All right, listen, Denny went long.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
You go ahead, Denny, throw me under the bus.

Speaker 4 (01:44:18):
You know, sometimes he like it's like he doesn't remember
that we're doing a radio show. Oh yeah, and we
have break times, right, and when he gets into one
of his stories, it's like he's in a zone you
cannot break it. But unfortunately he went so long in
that last segment. We're going to step away real quick
so we can catch up. But again, we're at Allisonville,

(01:44:38):
Homan Garden by Sullivan and Fisher's. I know the guys
are out unloading Christmas trees outside exciting. Yeah, you can
get one right off the truck that you know, that
would be kind of cool. The people that I think
is interesting. Sometimes people will go, I'll just take the
one wrapped. And I like that because they're saying, you
know what, surprised not it surprised me. If it's good,

(01:44:59):
it's gonna be great. If it's not, we'll deal with it.

Speaker 2 (01:45:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:45:02):
Those kind of a where some people like go way
too long trying to look at every tree and all
that stuff. It's like sometimes having that carefree attitude is like,
you know what, we'll make it work. Put it, put
it on the top. We're going with it all right.
We're coming right back with more. Our number two three
nine ninety three ninety three.

Speaker 2 (01:45:23):
Lost cup screws.

Speaker 3 (01:45:24):
Been tying and tidden them, but they keep coming.

Speaker 4 (01:45:29):
Loose yes on and been seen a lot a long
and intackle me reading me my eyes.

Speaker 7 (01:45:38):
Wow, ask women far as living did too myself.

Speaker 4 (01:45:44):
Oh, Ethan is back in our studio on Monument Circle.
And I bet I bet he's grown like a weed,
our little boy, because we haven't seen him in three weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:45:52):
I bet his beard's growing. You know, he looks like
the Taliban. What Taliban?

Speaker 5 (01:45:56):
Oh? I remember that?

Speaker 2 (01:45:58):
Like a terrorist?

Speaker 4 (01:45:59):
Oh I thought that was a in in the seventies.
Bill joins us on the program. Hi Bill, Hello, Hello Bill.

Speaker 20 (01:46:08):
I live in Muncie and we're under a drought still.
We heard on the weather report today for Minneapolis that
were down six inches in September. Yeap, is it is
it too late to air rate? Alon?

Speaker 4 (01:46:22):
It is not too late, as long as you've gotten
enough rain that it is soft enough to pull a plug.

Speaker 20 (01:46:29):
I mean, so that's well, we got some last night
and so forth.

Speaker 9 (01:46:34):
Okay, I think it's going to rain next week.

Speaker 20 (01:46:35):
But yeah, it's been so it's been so dry you
couldn't even pull a plug.

Speaker 4 (01:46:39):
Yeah, I was trying to let people know that. Now
Indy had, you know, a little more obviously than you
guys did, but we were still in a moderate drought
in Indianapolis, and then I think you were one one
step further than that. So uh, as long as you
feel like you know you can take a you know,
a pitch fork or something and and pull out a

(01:47:00):
four or five inch plug, you can go ahead and arrate.
But no, it's a great time. And then once you
do that I would put my final application of fertilizer on.

Speaker 20 (01:47:10):
Okay, all right, thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:47:12):
Hey, thanks Bill, thanks for listening.

Speaker 2 (01:47:13):
Okay, Okay, I don't think I've ever pulled a four
or five inch plug. The most I could ever get
was about the size of my little finger.

Speaker 5 (01:47:22):
Well, you're just not doing it right.

Speaker 3 (01:47:24):
It was done.

Speaker 2 (01:47:25):
Professionally with a with a professional heavy roller.

Speaker 4 (01:47:28):
I just they owe you some money, all right, now, Okay,
tell me about the heavy roller.

Speaker 2 (01:47:35):
It's just like it looks like a porcupine, only it's
got got a center rod that's cast of some sort
some heavy steel, and they got the splines coming out
all the way around.

Speaker 4 (01:47:45):
So is it are the Are they hollow or is
it just a.

Speaker 2 (01:47:48):
No, they're hollow. Yeah, And they're the sounds.

Speaker 4 (01:47:50):
Because what you don't want is you don't want to
compact the lawn by using this one.

Speaker 5 (01:47:54):
You want to pull the plug.

Speaker 2 (01:47:55):
That's right, you pull the plug. They also have the
type that vibrate up and down. Those are the best,
and that's what the golf courses.

Speaker 5 (01:48:02):
Yeah, I'm sorry your plug is so short.

Speaker 6 (01:48:04):
Do you have Christmas trees that are bald? Have the
ball that you can just play?

Speaker 5 (01:48:09):
I wonder what I think that's I think that's tree abuse.

Speaker 6 (01:48:13):
Oh really, do you home and then take it and
bring it home and it's pot Yeah, most of them
hasn't been cut.

Speaker 4 (01:48:20):
Most of them will, yeah, because you could. Dick always
would say that you can leave him in for about
a week.

Speaker 3 (01:48:29):
And most you need to get them in the ground.

Speaker 4 (01:48:31):
Yeah, so he would say, you you, you pre dig
your hole, so you you get the whole dog, take
it inside for a week, you know from obviously you know,
a couple of days before Christmas, and then get it
outside and that's when you'd have the best luck of getting.

Speaker 5 (01:48:48):
It to come back.

Speaker 3 (01:48:49):
Okay, all right, I.

Speaker 4 (01:48:50):
Don't think it's worth it, and I know that the
people will. People are funny. They think that you know,
oh this tree was cut. Think of a Christmas tree
as a stalk of corn, because that's all it is.
And everyone goes, oh, I can't believe they're cutting trees down.
It's a field. It's it's just it is a grown crop.

(01:49:10):
You should have I remember when this is way back
when the kids are my kids are were at St.

Speaker 5 (01:49:16):
Pias Grade school.

Speaker 4 (01:49:18):
They sent a note home that said that recommending that
everyone buy an artificial tree, because you know, you shouldn't
be cutting trees down, and it's like, you're kidding me.

Speaker 3 (01:49:30):
What about the Christmas tree farms and families who depend
on that. Yeah, but it's a farm, that.

Speaker 4 (01:49:35):
Is it is not out no, no, number one, And
you would you wouldn't want to you wouldn't want a
tree out in the wild because on farms they shear
the trees. The trees get sheered in that nice shape.
So like in Europe they do a little more unsheared trees,

(01:49:57):
and so occasionally we'll get an artificial tree that mimics
an European tree that's called it unsheered. So it's these
wild branches, you know, that kind of stick out, not
real popular. They're a little better for hanging ornaments because
there has a big index on it, so a lot
better or a lot bigger shape.

Speaker 3 (01:50:16):
But they don't not out in the wild.

Speaker 6 (01:50:18):
But there are places here in Indiana where you are
allowed to go and cut your own tree that is
kind of out in the wild.

Speaker 3 (01:50:25):
Oh, absolutely are marked.

Speaker 6 (01:50:26):
And you can go get them and.

Speaker 3 (01:50:28):
But if but again they're grown for that purpose.

Speaker 4 (01:50:30):
No, No, those are the ones in the wild.

Speaker 6 (01:50:32):
The ones in the wild. There are you are spots
here in our state where you can go and pick
a tree and cut.

Speaker 5 (01:50:38):
It because it helps.

Speaker 4 (01:50:40):
I believe that it helps with fire thence the herd
helps with fire protection and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:50:45):
So you can do that.

Speaker 6 (01:50:46):
There's websites you can go to DNR I think has
has a listing of where you can go if you
want to go cut one out, you know, like in
the olden days.

Speaker 2 (01:50:53):
Terry, I never said this to you, but you've got
a lot of issues with Are you in therapy?

Speaker 3 (01:51:01):
Do you want to talk? What do you want to
say about that?

Speaker 2 (01:51:02):
Well, you've got a puppy and somebody made the puppy.
You got a Christmas tree. Somebody made the Christmas tree.
This is just life. No, I know, money you need
to get in therapy.

Speaker 3 (01:51:13):
If we all got to learn together, it would be well.

Speaker 4 (01:51:15):
You know what I think it's interesting about a tree
that you cut down is that because it's unsheared and
it'll give you that big ole. They were talking about
this this morning on the news. I think on Fox
it's they're so wide that if you have a big
space and you just shove it into a corner and
it's just this massive and somebody really liked that.

Speaker 3 (01:51:36):
Kept and some people do.

Speaker 6 (01:51:39):
But that's also when you bring home sometimes a chipmunk
or an owl or the hidden in the trees.

Speaker 3 (01:51:46):
Sometimes you're the one going out.

Speaker 2 (01:51:47):
That was one of the stories.

Speaker 4 (01:51:51):
That was one of the stories that they brought one
in and there was a squirrel in it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
See Chevy Chase and Christmas Vacation.

Speaker 8 (01:51:59):
Well, in New York, they're a big tree that they
set up at Rockefeller every year. A couple of years
ago they had an owl in it.

Speaker 3 (01:52:05):
They did oh really Yeah. I was like, I don't
want to be in time.

Speaker 2 (01:52:08):
So how do you I'm from Wisconsin. How do you
feel about National Christmas trees? Terry?

Speaker 3 (01:52:13):
What about you like a feeling? I have no feeling
for them.

Speaker 2 (01:52:16):
Well, they cut down the tree well, and.

Speaker 6 (01:52:18):
And the family and that's another story that's a really
great one about the tree and how this family loves
these trees and.

Speaker 3 (01:52:25):
They ship it all all the way and when their
tree is selected it's an honor.

Speaker 6 (01:52:29):
And and this last one, yeah, I think the husband
died before he got to see the tree go to.

Speaker 2 (01:52:35):
How do you feel.

Speaker 4 (01:52:36):
One that goes a Rockefeller centers are so ugly, big, overgrown.

Speaker 2 (01:52:42):
Well it is just like, how do you feel about
the sacrifices that the Mayan's made of the sixteen year
old girls?

Speaker 3 (01:52:49):
I don't know what you are? You you killed? Are
you saying? You're really going from one extreme to another?
But that's you?

Speaker 2 (01:52:58):
All right?

Speaker 4 (01:52:58):

Speaker 2 (02:00:32):

Speaker 4 (02:00:35):
And when when Ethan and I do that, we look
into each other's soul.

Speaker 3 (02:00:40):
Yeah, I get that is true.

Speaker 2 (02:00:41):
It's a connection. Okay, we'll be back there next week.
What colorized do you have? Green? Green alice? Less than
a drinking unless you're drinking and then you're a half court.

Speaker 5 (02:00:51):
All right.

Speaker 4 (02:00:52):
So next week, so that would be Friday, is the
lighting of the monument circle and.

Speaker 6 (02:00:57):
Then everybody runs to get their Christmas trees and get
their live trees.

Speaker 4 (02:01:02):
You want to help them with that live trees.

Speaker 3 (02:01:04):
I want to give them some tips.

Speaker 2 (02:01:08):
Donates all the trees to the circle level.

Speaker 4 (02:01:10):
We do we provide the uh like and see what
I've I was making sure because what we do, because
my affiliation with w I b C. We supply supply
the trees for the lighting for the stage circle of lights,
circle of lights. And then when it's over, they have
my key card and they shove them in the lobby
at MS and then come back. Because you can't get

(02:01:33):
a truck in there. They have to carry everything out.

Speaker 3 (02:01:36):
What are they going to do next year when I move?

Speaker 5 (02:01:38):
They're just not going to supply the lot.

Speaker 3 (02:01:40):
I wonder if we'll find somebody.

Speaker 6 (02:01:42):
Yeah or yeah, I mean, who's gonna be will you supply?
Will you put a tree in our new building?

Speaker 5 (02:01:50):
You know what?

Speaker 4 (02:01:51):
I I'll have to take a look at it. I mean,
nobody ever knew that I put it in the MS building.

Speaker 2 (02:01:56):
It was so fun.

Speaker 3 (02:01:56):
I wonder.

Speaker 4 (02:01:58):
I wonder if if someone will wonder, it's like, hey,
why haven't they put the tree up?

Speaker 2 (02:02:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (02:02:02):
Because what happened to the tree?

Speaker 2 (02:02:04):
I know?

Speaker 3 (02:02:05):
And then they'll know that all these years, that's right.

Speaker 2 (02:02:08):
The number one thing you try to teach managers in
business is how to say thank you. And I don't
think Emma's had a clue to be aware that.

Speaker 4 (02:02:17):
The way it started was before we move, the Salvation
Army Radio found, which by the way, is the twelfth
and thirteenth, and that is going to be at our
Keystone location. And we used to try to have it downtown.
But two things. Downtown on a Saturday, there's just not
a lot of people down there right anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:02:37):
Anymore, not as many as it used to be.

Speaker 6 (02:02:39):
There are still with Christmas.

Speaker 3 (02:02:41):
Time is different.

Speaker 6 (02:02:43):
It's just a bit different. Now we've got Spark. Spark
is doing some things with Santa's Aera weekend and cough
hot chocolate. You're right, they're bringing down. We've got the
Hilbert Circle Theater and lots of events.

Speaker 4 (02:02:52):
So I would say the two things on the radiothon
was one, especially during the day when we're you know,
early on, there's not pull down there and two radio
people are pretty lazy, so it was way easier for me.

Speaker 3 (02:03:06):
I was gonna say, wait a minute, we were all
really we were like.

Speaker 6 (02:03:10):
To come downstairs and the phone bank of phone baked
people being in the lobby.

Speaker 4 (02:03:14):
But I mean the lobby needed. So that's how we
started with the tree. So someone asked me to bring
out a sorry about a twelve foot tree, and then
we add other trees along and just to try to
bring some little Christmas.

Speaker 5 (02:03:25):
But it was hard to do. It hard to do
in that big lobby.

Speaker 4 (02:03:28):
It's a but at our Keystone location, it's already set
up for Christmas. So we make we make a space. Yeah,
so it's gonna be it'll be great. It's gonna be
in a new spot in the store. It's gonna be
in the grill palace. So we're very excited about that
good deal.

Speaker 3 (02:03:44):
Now what are you gonna do?

Speaker 4 (02:03:46):
Yeah, well, I was kind of like in radio we
call that kind of pitching.

Speaker 6 (02:03:50):
So do you want to go ahead and then talk
about when you get your live trees?

Speaker 3 (02:03:52):
I just oh, live trees.

Speaker 6 (02:03:55):
Maybe some tips because that will be a huge weekend. Okay,
coming up to get You're live?

Speaker 2 (02:04:00):
All right?

Speaker 5 (02:04:00):
So here would be my tips on live trees.

Speaker 2 (02:04:02):
Can can we say the word butt cuts?

Speaker 5 (02:04:05):
We can later?

Speaker 2 (02:04:06):
Okay, let me know. Just cute me. I'm ready.

Speaker 3 (02:04:08):
And these are not live trees by any means.

Speaker 6 (02:04:09):
These are dead, but they're fresh.

Speaker 5 (02:04:12):
They're a fresh cut trees.

Speaker 2 (02:04:13):
You were so picky.

Speaker 3 (02:04:15):
Well, they're dead, they're.

Speaker 4 (02:04:16):
Not a live So the biggest tip I would fish,
would you to stop please?

Speaker 2 (02:04:21):
She said at first?

Speaker 4 (02:04:22):
You know, I want a big award last night it
was a major award.

Speaker 5 (02:04:26):
I deserve more respect.

Speaker 2 (02:04:28):
Can I say butt cut?

Speaker 5 (02:04:29):
Now?

Speaker 2 (02:04:29):
No? Okay? All right?

Speaker 4 (02:04:31):
The number one tip if you're going to get a
fresh cut tree, I'm ready buy it early. No, listen
to me, it's already.

Speaker 3 (02:04:43):
Dead.

Speaker 2 (02:04:44):
Let's all be quiet.

Speaker 3 (02:04:45):
She's being a er dead.

Speaker 4 (02:04:47):
Let's listen. So you pick out your tree, you buy it,
you take it.

Speaker 3 (02:04:52):
Home, don't forget the butt cut.

Speaker 4 (02:04:54):
You do a butt cut, and then you put it
in water outside if it's not going to freeze, or
in the cold garage, and then you have it there.
It's out of the wind because the wind dries out
the trees. The longer it takes you to go to
the lot and get them, the more dry the tree
will probably be. So you might be thinking, well, I'm

(02:05:17):
gonna wait because they're going to get more and more trees. No,
all the tree lots get of their trees this week.

Speaker 2 (02:05:26):
So is this the last truck of trees? It's out
here at Allisonville Road. It is.

Speaker 4 (02:05:30):
We have this one right here, and then we have
some big trees coming in on Tuesday and we've gotten
all of our trees.

Speaker 5 (02:05:36):
Mis go ahead.

Speaker 6 (02:05:38):
You know, not everybody knows what a butt cut is.

Speaker 3 (02:05:40):
And do you have to do it?

Speaker 2 (02:05:42):
Okay, it's sort of like a tent.

Speaker 6 (02:05:44):
Will they do it for you?

Speaker 2 (02:05:45):
Or yes?

Speaker 4 (02:05:45):
The tree lot that you that you buy it from,
should do your butt cut. And you want to cut
off at least one inch because the butt seals.

Speaker 6 (02:05:54):
Over with sap and I'm sorry, tears, tears.

Speaker 4 (02:06:00):
And then so when you're ready to put it in water,
we make we make a butt cut, yes, and then
you need to get it in water within about two hours.
And then once it's in the water, it opens up.
Those are the little straws that pull the water and
keeps the tree freshet.

Speaker 2 (02:06:18):
You don't want than that. You can do a second
butt cut.

Speaker 5 (02:06:21):
What are you going to take it down?

Speaker 2 (02:06:24):
You can cut another inch off if it takes.

Speaker 4 (02:06:28):
Yeah, if you yeah, if you can't, if you you know,
I would say that if you're not going right home
and you're not going to do it, don't even have
the lot cut it, butt cut it. You cut it
at home, so you don't what you don't want to do.
And everyone thinks that this is a good idea to
take the bark off the bottom part of the tree,
thinking that will allow the water, and that does the

(02:06:49):
opposite because between that bark underneath it like these little straws.
Picture little straws that suck the water up, and without it,
it's probably not going to take water.

Speaker 3 (02:07:04):
And so is it.

Speaker 6 (02:07:05):
But cut just straight across, straight across, straight across yep,
but cut all right, and then your.

Speaker 3 (02:07:13):
Water is anything special.

Speaker 2 (02:07:15):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, you've got to make
a green weeny comment here of some sort not going
to okay.

Speaker 4 (02:07:20):
Uh yeah, I would put an aspirin in ada. That's
what everyone says.

Speaker 6 (02:07:24):
I don't think that doesn't make somebody will sell like acid,
ebs and salts, warm warm water.

Speaker 4 (02:07:32):
You can put some additive in it. I'm not sure.
Some people say seven up. Really, if you just put
warm water and you don't let it if you let
it dry, if you let the tree dry out once again,
it's going to seal over and we'll stop taking water.
So you cannot let the tree run out of water.
You want to set your alarm for every four hours,
So get up in the middle of the night, go

(02:07:53):
check the tree, make sure that it has water, like.

Speaker 3 (02:07:56):
A new baby, just checking on it every four And.

Speaker 4 (02:07:58):
I would say it like five o'clock, just a am
a shot of vodka PM.

Speaker 2 (02:08:03):
But you don't do but shot of vodka in that water?
All right? All right? Well helpful, thank you, pat.

Speaker 4 (02:08:10):
Okay, you know the other thing I might suggest or
just mentioned, kind of opine about trees look a little
bigger outside.

Speaker 3 (02:08:22):
Yeah, they do. Yes, you're right, you're.

Speaker 4 (02:08:24):
Right, I'm sorry, a little a little smaller, right, you could.
And so many times people like like they'd look at
him and it's like, well that's not very big, and
when you get it inside, that's big.

Speaker 3 (02:08:36):
Yeah, it's really big, it really is.

Speaker 6 (02:08:38):
So seven foot is really safe for everybody, don't you think.

Speaker 2 (02:08:43):
Well not if you have a twelve foot ceiling. Well
taller has in retail.

Speaker 4 (02:08:48):
Come on, okay, all right, all right, So trees are
graded and garland.

Speaker 6 (02:08:52):
What about the garland, the fresh garland that we buy,
the fresh wreaths that we that no spray those with water?

Speaker 5 (02:08:59):
Well, well, I'm glad you brought that up.

Speaker 4 (02:09:02):
I love on a door inside or outside outside, outside.
The only place for fresh greens is outside, because they
just don't. I mean, I've tried to take like I
use of one year, we just had these beautiful garlands
left over, they weren't going to be sold all, put
them on the mantel and I sprayed them with willproof.

Speaker 2 (02:09:23):
They still they.

Speaker 4 (02:09:24):
Try out so fast, they're a fire hazard. Do want
to use inside on his artificial artificial garlands? Keep the
live live greens to the outside, Okay? Did I ever
tell you about when I.

Speaker 6 (02:09:40):
Do I do I water it the.

Speaker 5 (02:09:42):
Live greens outside.

Speaker 3 (02:09:43):
Yeah, no, you just put that wreath up. It's okay, like.

Speaker 4 (02:09:46):
Having them in a refrigerator.

Speaker 3 (02:09:49):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (02:09:50):
So I remember we had an Advent wreath or an
Advent candle honored when I was a kid, and uh,
I thought, you know, I thought I lighted. So I
let it and burnt the house.

Speaker 3 (02:10:02):
Down at a young age. Yeah, yeah, reckless even then.

Speaker 4 (02:10:06):
He's been for many years ten fire bug probably ten.

Speaker 2 (02:10:10):
So that was fifty five years ago. Yeah, yeah, you're
still stupid. But I put it out, Okay, But.

Speaker 4 (02:10:15):
I left, I left the kitchen, I went downstairs and
came back, and if there was a fire going on
on the table, wow, Grandma's oak table, which brings.

Speaker 3 (02:10:25):
Up stars so scary.

Speaker 2 (02:10:27):
Which brings up a good point. If you don't have
a fire blanket at the house, it is a great invention.
It's fireproof, but it will absolutely smother any kitchen fire.

Speaker 3 (02:10:36):
And they're really not that expensive.

Speaker 6 (02:10:38):
They're not everybody fourteen in fire extinguishers.

Speaker 3 (02:10:41):
I got the whole I got the whole loot.

Speaker 16 (02:10:43):
Yeah, I got it. All the blankets are great. The
blanket about out throw it over a fire, and it's
really they mount them on the wall. You just jerk
them down, hold onto those two straps, stretch your arms
out and like.

Speaker 4 (02:10:53):
A makes a great stocking stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:10:55):
Yes it does. That's a great idea.

Speaker 3 (02:10:57):
You carry them.

Speaker 4 (02:10:58):
We do, and I don't think we sell enough of them.

Speaker 2 (02:11:02):
I don't think we sell.

Speaker 4 (02:11:04):
I mean, if you ask people if they have carbon
monoxide detectors, there's so many people. I don't know what
percentage it is, but not enough people. If you have
either a gas burning furnace or a fireplace that's wood
burning or gas, you you need a carbon monoxide detective.

Speaker 2 (02:11:23):
And really you also need the fire blankets. They're not expensive.
Allison was right on it. Take advantage of it and
keep your family safe yourself.

Speaker 3 (02:11:32):
A good flashlight, Oh, best gift ever.

Speaker 2 (02:11:35):
Oh look at the top of them.

Speaker 4 (02:11:37):
Good flashlight. All right, we are here at Allisonville Homan Garden.
I thought they were having another Are they having another
porch pot class today? I kind of thought I would
see the ladies in. Uh, there's always a couple of dudes,
but it seems always to be ladies doing the porch spots.
So great deal on artificial trees. As well, best selection,

(02:11:58):
biggest selection.

Speaker 8 (02:11:59):
In Yeah right, I wasn't make your eye contact because
I didn't know the answer.

Speaker 2 (02:12:04):
You didn't raise your voice the inflection your biggest in Indiana. See,
that's how she knows to step in.

Speaker 4 (02:12:11):
She did.

Speaker 3 (02:12:11):
No, I didn't know the answer to that once. I
just advoiced eye contact. Quiet.

Speaker 2 (02:12:15):
I get this all the time in the office. She
treats me, Well, you deserve what.

Speaker 3 (02:12:22):
I feel like I know seventy percent of what's going
on at the store.

Speaker 2 (02:12:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:12:26):
Actually, uh, I would say Allison is really good. So
Allison works at at our Keystone's store part time just
to make extra money from the radio job.

Speaker 2 (02:12:37):
Oh, the radio job pays so well, it really does. Uh.

Speaker 4 (02:12:41):
So she is so in tuned to my needs. She
knows exactly you and Lauren.

Speaker 8 (02:12:46):
Yeah, I will say it has helped while working at
the store and in the show, because I do feel
like I know it's going on a little more than most.

Speaker 5 (02:12:55):
Yeah, they know the words. I'm going to forget, the
names I'm going to forget.

Speaker 3 (02:12:58):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:12:59):
On car Ever Crossing they did us. They did a
segment on that about people who are going through dementia
and you have to be able to fill in the blanks. Terry,
that was a good segment.

Speaker 3 (02:13:10):
I'm going through it before we break.

Speaker 2 (02:13:12):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (02:13:13):
It reminded me a couple of weeks ago. One of
the one of our coworkers was telling me they heard
someone online be like, oh, so what is what does
Alison do here? And someone just goes, I think she's
just Pat's right hand man.

Speaker 3 (02:13:26):
We'll ask me that what do you do for Pat?
And I'm like chill in his sentences, you know, like
his right arm.

Speaker 4 (02:13:31):
You know.

Speaker 6 (02:13:32):
She just's I know, we don't really know what the title.

Speaker 3 (02:13:35):
Of her job.

Speaker 2 (02:13:35):
Well, if she's anything for Pat, she's his brain.

Speaker 6 (02:13:38):
Yeah, okay, well no, no, did she was she working?

Speaker 3 (02:13:41):
She wasn't working for you before she started the station.

Speaker 8 (02:13:44):
I started the station first, and then COVID hit, and
then they needed some extra help with the doors, and
I was looking to mix some extra money. So it
just worked out and here we are, and now they
can't get.

Speaker 3 (02:13:56):
Rid of me.

Speaker 6 (02:13:57):
So many people, so many people come here during these
time times, right right when they need when they need extra,
they go to Pat.

Speaker 2 (02:14:03):
Hey, Pet, you like I need a little bit.

Speaker 3 (02:14:05):
I just haven't need a couple hours here and there.
Can you help me and Pat. I don't know that
you've ever turned anybody down.

Speaker 5 (02:14:10):
I will now because you've just told the whole audience.

Speaker 8 (02:14:13):
Say that we have more than enough help now, But
will you're always ready to help people.

Speaker 3 (02:14:17):
When they need cry?

Speaker 5 (02:14:18):

three ninety three.

Speaker 7 (02:14:47):
Wat's impossible, body fog. This will keep spinning and each
new day, how can feel the change in everything? And
there's a service breaks for flex Shahn's face vote In
some ways they remained.

Speaker 2 (02:15:08):
He welcome back.

Speaker 4 (02:15:10):
You know what, guys, We're joined by south Side.

Speaker 3 (02:15:13):
Tom's oh south Side and Diane.

Speaker 2 (02:15:16):
Yeah, yeah, huh that's the wife.

Speaker 3 (02:15:18):
Yes, thank you, Tom, and Hi.

Speaker 22 (02:15:21):
It's good talking to you folks again. I want to
congratulate Pat for the award he won. Had the pleasure
of knowing father Glenn O'Connor myself what a class act
he was and he still is. So what can you
say about father Glenn?

Speaker 2 (02:15:35):
Super guy?

Speaker 5 (02:15:36):
Yes, thank you very much.

Speaker 22 (02:15:39):
A couple of things here about quick, uh produced not
playing today, India is not playing today, But folks on
the south side of Indianapolis at two o'clock, University of
Indianapolis is playing Truman in a playoff game and play
of tickets available for that. And there's two for one
deal if you go to the football game this afternoon's

(02:16:00):
basketball game at six pm tonight over Nixon. All so
you get the ticket for a football game and then
you get to go basketball game if you so wish.
So a good deal.

Speaker 2 (02:16:12):
They're playing Truman and then you go to Nixon.

Speaker 22 (02:16:16):
Well Nicholson. Yes, by the way, they beat them twenty
to ten, and the excuse me, it was thirty to
twenty in a regular season, So this may be a
grudge match today, but it's always heads up, football down
you Indy. I might add the they're going in it

(02:16:37):
with a nine to one record, so let's hope that
the Greyhounds can do great name. So there you go,
two o'clock, parr three right. Indeed, second thing, real quick,
I'm going to throw this at Denny.

Speaker 9 (02:16:52):
Denny.

Speaker 2 (02:16:52):
I had a.

Speaker 22 (02:16:53):
Situation with the toilet a few weeks back where it
wasn't plashing properly, and there was rusty water in it.
Now I may solve the problem by putting in some
of the toilet cleaner down their liquid toilet cleaner in
the tank. They're swishing it around a little bit, and
it took care of problem and cleaned out all those
little holes around the rim. Now the major question I

(02:17:15):
got is is it safe to use toilet cleaner in
the tank?

Speaker 2 (02:17:22):
Probably not. It's it's pretty alkaline. And what that will
do is it will destroy the rubber gaskets in and
around like your tank to bowl kit. If you've just
done it once, and you did pretty quickly, you may
have survived it, but your flapper might be toast by now.

Speaker 22 (02:17:38):
Okay, so what about what.

Speaker 5 (02:17:40):
The little canisters you put down in there? Are done?

Speaker 2 (02:17:45):
Go ahead, Tommy, that's the thought. Oh okay, did we losing?

Speaker 22 (02:17:48):
That's the thought to put one of those little things
you talk about and makes the plush blue and it
looks so pretty in until you use it.

Speaker 3 (02:17:55):
Yeah, yeah, remember the tiny bowl man.

Speaker 2 (02:17:57):
Yeah, but yeah, they're not as aggressive on the rubber parts.

Speaker 3 (02:18:03):
Remember you.

Speaker 2 (02:18:06):
Boy Plumber's nightmare?

Speaker 3 (02:18:08):
Right, Tiny bull man, Hey, tiny man down here?

Speaker 2 (02:18:12):
Pat was about to ask you a question about these
thank you tom toilet tank minders that use magnets to
sort of do what the easy water system does. And
I have I tried for those, and I could never
really get any results.

Speaker 4 (02:18:26):
From I read the white paper on that, and they
just didn't it didn't line up. I did some calculations and.

Speaker 2 (02:18:32):
Uh, did you give doctor cho a call over in Pennsylvania?

Speaker 9 (02:18:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:18:38):
There go. You're making fun of me, but I like it.
At least you're listening.

Speaker 4 (02:18:41):
Someone asked, all right, are you guys ready to talk
to Michaela from Michela?

Speaker 2 (02:18:45):

I'm gonna I'm gonna ask a question and then you're
just gonna run with it for a little bit.

Speaker 5 (02:19:09):

Speaker 3 (02:22:10):
Whatever we want, A young en.

Speaker 19 (02:22:18):
Lo the spoon, the city.

Speaker 4 (02:22:29):
Hey, good happening, Welcome back, Terry Stacey.

Speaker 14 (02:22:34):
Yo.

Speaker 2 (02:22:34):
How do you cook your turkey?

Speaker 3 (02:22:37):
Turkey is?

Speaker 6 (02:22:39):
Oh gosh, We've done it every different way. Smoked out
on the grill, all the things baked in an oven, roasted.
I like mine still just a roasted, good roasted turkey in.

Speaker 3 (02:22:50):
The oven, in the oven. I like the way that
smells cooking. I like all that.

Speaker 4 (02:22:56):
Denny, Paul, you guys don't cook a turkey anymore, do you.

Speaker 2 (02:23:00):
We do a game hen a little bitty one, okay,
and that's you know, for two or three people, that's
just about right. Gives me a little bit of leftovers.
But the game hens work for us.

Speaker 5 (02:23:10):
And Alison, how about your family.

Speaker 8 (02:23:13):
We're kind of with Terry, we kind of just dost
do the traditional oven way.

Speaker 4 (02:23:18):
So boring, but you know what, it's boring, but it's boring.
But you know what, I think the biggest thing about
getting the bird outside is that you get the oven space.

Speaker 2 (02:23:28):
Absolutely space for sweet potato cast rolls and everything else.

Speaker 6 (02:23:32):
Smell in the kitchen though, you know, everything cooking, that
chaos of you know, one coming out, something going in.

Speaker 3 (02:23:37):
Yeah, timing it all.

Speaker 2 (02:23:39):
I'm not good at it, you know, out of the bird,
that things going in and out of the bird.

Speaker 6 (02:23:45):
No, no, no, like stuffs when you've got just an oven,
you've got to time everything where rolls will go in
at one time, sweet potato castroll goes in another time.
But I could personally just eat sides, you know, I'd
be happy.

Speaker 3 (02:23:59):
I saw the turkey's at the bottom of my list.

Speaker 4 (02:24:01):
I saw a little thing about It's like a little survey,
like is it about the turkey?

Speaker 5 (02:24:07):
Is it about the sides?

Speaker 2 (02:24:09):
I'm one, Does anyone put cranberries or canberry sauce on
their turkey?

Speaker 5 (02:24:15):
I do?

Speaker 3 (02:24:16):
I loveberries.

Speaker 2 (02:24:17):
Okay, we're good.

Speaker 4 (02:24:18):
I will put cranberries on stuffing.

Speaker 3 (02:24:21):
Whoa jelly?

Speaker 6 (02:24:22):
You know, out of the can the can jelly last week,
sliced it, froze it, and then dipped it and melted chocolate.

Speaker 2 (02:24:30):
No way, uh huh, look at you. You you got
to do this on craft.

Speaker 6 (02:24:35):
So they're frozen. They're almost like a little frozen treat.

Speaker 2 (02:24:38):
Yeah, like a frozen frisbee.

Speaker 6 (02:24:40):
Yeah, like a little frozen frisbee. You just sliced that up,
I said, right out of the can.

Speaker 4 (02:24:44):
So I think I mentioned. I think I mentioned this
last week. So we had a turkey class at Keystone.
So I was doing a I put together a trash can.

Speaker 3 (02:24:55):
Turkey, huh, which is what you're gonna do this year?

Speaker 4 (02:24:57):
Which is what I'm going to do because we have
guests in from Saint Louis and I want to I
just I don't know what it is. Well, one year
we had one of the kids, somebody had somebody in
from the East coast, New Hampshire maybe, and and he
was so fascinated by the trash can turkey. And I
just looked at him and said, it's very traditional here

(02:25:18):
in Indiana. Most of us cook our turkeys in a
trash can. And I just want them to take that back.
You want to start the East coast. I want to
start that yew to keep them, keep them there, you know,
hold them, hold him in place. It's like, ah, you know,
I had a job offer.

Speaker 2 (02:25:33):
At Lily's in Indianapolis.

Speaker 5 (02:25:35):
But yeah, they seemed like a little bit of crazy.

Speaker 3 (02:25:38):
Out there, like they're cooking stuff in trash can.

Speaker 9 (02:25:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:25:41):
On Thursday morning, I met somebody who was a classmate
of your sister, Jules, Julie Julie and she had lived
in California for forty two years and they'd had enough
of California and they came back.

Speaker 5 (02:25:53):
That's Jennifer Hadden.

Speaker 2 (02:25:54):
Yeah, that's right in ed Yep.

Speaker 3 (02:25:57):
Is it right?

Speaker 2 (02:25:58):
Is it Faden or Headen? And anyway, they were telling
me that they brought sixteen families with them. That's how
much the migration away from California. Sixteen sixteen families have
fought them.

Speaker 4 (02:26:10):
Okay, I thought they were sheltering illegals.

Speaker 2 (02:26:13):
No, No, they all their friends, their kids have all
come back.

Speaker 3 (02:26:17):
They've all come he so they haven't moved to Indiana.

Speaker 2 (02:26:19):
They all came back and they all live, you know,
Hamilton County and a commune. No, you're working with me
on this one, aren't you.

Speaker 3 (02:26:26):
Anyway, it was.

Speaker 2 (02:26:27):
I think it's interesting that they knew about Indiana. But
if they didn't know about Indiana and they came from
California and heard that we cook our turkeys in trash can, yeah,
that's right, they might go back to California.

Speaker 4 (02:26:40):
So anyway, this class, so thank you, I'm making progress
trash can. And so then we brined a turkey to
cook on a grill, and that was the main one
we are serving in this class. And then they brought
the trash can turkey out at the end of the
class and slice it. And most people like the trash

(02:27:00):
can turkey better than the brine.

Speaker 6 (02:27:02):
I don't know what makes it different, other than I
think it's there is just this juice, ury juice.

Speaker 3 (02:27:08):
It's this taste, and it's good.

Speaker 8 (02:27:10):
Anywhere I will say Turkey Fest, the trash can turkey
is always my favorite. I haven't convinced my family to
try to do that yet, so that's why we still
do it the traditional way. But one day, one day,
they're gonna find me a yard by myself.

Speaker 3 (02:27:25):
The trash can.

Speaker 6 (02:27:25):
It's not always It's not as easy as you think
it is. I don't think it's more complex than you think,
really I do?

Speaker 2 (02:27:34):
Is this ornament Rachel Ray? Maybe No, that's you already
figured it out. Okay, you had to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 3 (02:27:40):
I know.

Speaker 2 (02:27:40):
I didn't go to the bathroom. You went to the bathroom.
I got a cast iron bladder, buddy, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (02:27:50):
Sorry. My next starting to hurt again, making eye.

Speaker 2 (02:27:53):
Content is coming up. Oh good lord, Yeah, what time
is it?

Speaker 3 (02:28:00):
No, we're getting close to being.

Speaker 2 (02:28:01):
This show has gone like lightning today.

Speaker 4 (02:28:03):
It really has. So we are at Allisonville. I can't
wait to go out and see the fresh cut trees.
We have beautiful trees this year. I'm so excited because
I've actually had a lot of anxiety over wasting thousands
and thousands of dollars trying to chase to make sure
that we had all the right trees, and really buying
from buying big amounts from growers that I you know

(02:28:25):
that I didn't know.

Speaker 5 (02:28:28):
It just didn't did not work out. Yes, ma'am.

Speaker 8 (02:28:30):
What is the most popular live Christmas tree? Brazier fur
seven half foot?

Speaker 4 (02:28:35):
Oh, your size both seven to eight foot is the
number one sized tree, and Frasier fur in Indiana.

Speaker 3 (02:28:42):
Is still the still.

Speaker 2 (02:28:44):
Still number one.

Speaker 3 (02:28:44):
Where are they go?

Speaker 2 (02:28:45):
Where are they grown? Is that North Carolina?

Speaker 4 (02:28:47):
H Yeah, but they're grown everywhere. North Carolina trees are
grown high elevation, good needle retention, and they get bushier
and thicker out there at the higher elevation. You can
get a lot of frasiers from Michigan, from Wisconsin. They're
not as wide, which actually is good because a lot
of people don't want a real wide tree. So having

(02:29:09):
a nice mix of some from the Midwest and some
from the Carolinas.

Speaker 2 (02:29:13):
But well, i'll tell you what those.

Speaker 4 (02:29:16):
So we got our regular grower that we've been buying
from since the nineteen nineties and he is finally back
in business because there really was a tree shortage, so
I was buying one year. I bought from Guido, the
Mafia tree broker, and it must have been a tree
farm where they were planted too close together.

Speaker 5 (02:29:34):
They sent me photos.

Speaker 4 (02:29:35):
The tops looked beautiful, but the bottoms were just a mess.
So I think that they were playing it too close together. Right,
So very excited at the prices. Our prices have gone
down because, for example, I will tell you exactly what
I pay for like an eight to nine foot tree

(02:29:55):
from our regular supplier. We pay sixty dollars. When you
throw frey on there, it's about sixty five sixty seven.
Last year we paid ninety three dollars for that tree.
Plus the soap, plus the seven dollars free, it's almost
one hundred bucks. Because we were buying it from a mafia,
you know, somebody, a reseller. So now that we're back,

(02:30:17):
you know, our prices were able to come down. Some
of the smaller ones stayed the same because our main
supplier was able to give us the small trees right
the five to six, six to seven, but they weren't
able to do the seven, eight, eight to nine, nine
to ten, ten to twelve.

Speaker 3 (02:30:30):
And what caught it caused a shortage again.

Speaker 2 (02:30:32):
There was a hurricane that came in off.

Speaker 3 (02:30:34):
I mean it was drought, it was fire.

Speaker 4 (02:30:37):
It was started in two thousand and eight during the
Great Recession. They said a lot of trees or a
lot of farms kind of there. There had been a
glut for a long time. I mean, we were buying
Fraser furs for next to nothing. I mean way more
than it. I mean, you know, we were buying a tree,
a seven eight foot tree, for like twenty three bucks.

(02:30:58):
I mean, that's a tree that's like twelve fourteen years old.
It's sheared every year. How could they?

Speaker 5 (02:31:03):
You know?

Speaker 4 (02:31:04):
So I think a lot of people were on the brink. Anyways,
the Great Recession came a lot of them closed down.

Speaker 6 (02:31:09):
But wasn't it also climate? I mean, the climate hurt
some of the tree farmers, right, I think something happened
as far as was it COVID They lost, they lost
some trees, took them over.

Speaker 3 (02:31:19):
I don't think that was it. I think there was
some loss, wasn't there. No, not that I know, both
of the trees.

Speaker 4 (02:31:25):
No, I mean not that. That's not the driving force
that I've ever heard. It's more it was just the
glot they had, uh you know, they we had we
had overgrown too many trees, and so farms went out
and then so now that it's kind.

Speaker 2 (02:31:40):
Of kind of back.

Speaker 3 (02:31:42):
So what's good news?

Speaker 5 (02:31:43):
Yeah, it is good news.
