Speaker 4 (01:10):
Technically, Well, what did your mama say?

Speaker 8 (01:13):
Well, she said one R two t's. But like I said,
if I had a nickel for every time it was misspelled,
that's okay.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Now, I know you did Indiana Sports Talk a couple
of weeks ago, and I gave you a hard time
because I didn't know you knew anything about supports. You
guys did a good job with that show.

Yeah, thank you. Yeah, Ethan and I were able to
do that together once or twice at least. But yeah,
we had a good time. We had a lot of fun.

gang is back together. Denny is here.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
Denny has landed safely in Indiana once again.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Denny's going to take off again this afternoon because there's
a great big air show down in Greenwood at Greenwood Air.

Speaker 10 (02:13):
Oh yeah, there really is. It's a it's a really
cool event. The whole family free to get in. There's
helicopter rides, there's all the all the simulators. Sounds like
you can get in behind a cockpit.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
I don't think so.

Speaker 10 (02:26):
Everybody can. It's fun. You can even I think even
just fly the planes now.

Speaker 6 (02:30):
I think if I was going to do anything, I
would get on mechanical horse over at.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
The A N P Store.

Speaker 10 (02:35):
I don't think I do.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Do you remember those they still have?

Speaker 10 (02:40):
I love those one there's really cool and kids still,
kids still get on them. Yeah, put their little coin.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
In and it's still a penny too.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
It may be still be a time my mom would
do that if there was less than like, I don't know,
three of us, it was seven. It's like that's a
lot of nickels.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Nickels.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Hey, here we are at nature Spire.

Speaker 10 (03:00):
And it's horrible more beautiful this little blaze is it
is so cool, it really is. It's just charming. It's
a boutique.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Look at Stephanie over here. She put on her pink
blazer and pink shoes.

Speaker 6 (03:11):
Looking good. And I didn't even notice the garage. I
haven't been through the garage yet.

Speaker 11 (03:14):
Yeah, it has a whole bunch of fresh house plants
in there, sold and moss art.

Speaker 10 (03:19):
I can't you know. I love creativity.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, this is this is craft Corner heaven right here.

Speaker 11 (03:25):
Yes, I'm really excited. They have living walls as kind
of their big thing.

Speaker 10 (03:29):
Yeah, those are really big at the Flower and Patio
Show this year.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Oh, I believe it. They're super popular now.

Speaker 10 (03:35):
But but they're I mean, they're difficult, I think. I mean,
I think they're challenging to keep alive and well.

Speaker 6 (03:40):
And you just set up a sprinkler in the living room,
you do, Yeah, let them have it.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
I don't think they're as tough as you might think,
because a lot of the mosses now are preserved mosses,
and they make great studios. They're using them in production
studios now because they absorb sound and they're so quiet.

Speaker 10 (03:56):
Oh that's kind of cool. What I bet. I don't
know that they love that. You don't think they bought
to thrive with that with it? I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
It depends on Widow.

Speaker 11 (04:05):
We're going to talk to Study and a couple other
girls here in the next couple hours.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
We'll we'll ask them all of our questions.

Speaker 10 (04:11):
Anyway, There, it is, really it. It's very cool, very
When I always heard the word boutique, you kind of
envision your head kind of this. Yeah, and you get
here and it's even bigger and better than you think, And.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
We want you to come out and see us. We're
on Elm Street and four twenty and well at four
to twenty one North range Line Road, which is in
the artsy FARTSI district. And uh so you want I don't.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
I don't think that's what it's actually called artsy FARTSI No,
Well it's Carmel. I know, it's like the City Arts
and designign.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, well that's it. And there's good parking across the
street to the west. And we're right on the corner
of Elm there's a roundabout and it's right here at
Elm and Range Line Road.

Speaker 10 (04:52):
I don't think we're far from Oh, Greg Cooper. Greg
Cooper's office is right around this corner somewhere, Great Cooper
who I worked at w I be Or for a
little bit. He was a traffic reporter and crashed.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
And Stephanie Carlson is the one that is the owner
here and she's trying to show people what you can
do around your house.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Did he went down on the whirler bird?

Speaker 10 (05:12):
He did the jet copter? I think was it the
jet copter or the plane went down?

Speaker 4 (05:15):
The plane he's the only ones that's gone down in
both a fixed wing and rotary wing. He's crashed in
both of them. He won't get back up.

Speaker 10 (05:23):
No, he won't do it again.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
No, remember whe went down on the speedway. Yeah, on
the football field.

Speaker 10 (05:28):
Right, sure did you sure did.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
The kids weren't playing though it was good, you know.

Speaker 10 (05:33):
Can you imagine how much that cost us to have
a helicopter and then a plane and even more. I mean,
it was, it was, it truly was just you were
the radio station, you know, I mean truly were among
You are a giant.

Speaker 11 (05:48):
And now my bear just sits in a corner and
looks at screens, listens.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
And they use the data from phones. All right.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yeah, they have cameras everywhere, drones.

Speaker 6 (05:59):
Yeah, but it's Big John here in the UNT seven.

Speaker 10 (06:06):
Big John wits just that's truly amazing he did.

Speaker 6 (06:10):
Looking down on over there Long's donut looks like the
line is out the door. But you know, it's a
nice day out, so I don't think you'll have any
trouble getting those famous yeast donuts.

Speaker 10 (06:20):
You know, when they made the transition and they said,
you know, we just can't afford this anymore, and but
we're going to do this slowly. We should write a
book about all the behind the scenes.

Speaker 11 (06:30):
I told you guys multiple times. I think you guy
should write it out. I won't, but I know you won't.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Behind this Golden years of radio, they that transition.

Speaker 10 (06:38):
You know we're not going to you know, immediately say
you're not in the eliconter that's right, So big John
Wood just drive around and hide. That's right in his truck.

Speaker 6 (06:48):
And we tried the glider. It's a cheaper alternative. And
then what John was not very good at it.

Speaker 10 (06:53):
He wasn't because he'd pull up on Monument Circle and
that's when we were down on the first one and
he'd do the report and you're like, did and Jeffer
you or whatever it be, like John, get you got
to get away from the window. You gotta go. You
gotta get away from the window to we really let
people know that there's no more helicopter.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
That's right plane. So we let him in.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
All that funny.

Speaker 10 (07:14):
He was so funny.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Just what stations? Does anybody have a helicopter?

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Any of the I don't think so much.

Speaker 10 (07:20):
Oh TV TV, Yeah, because they still really and it's cool.
I think they still land you know for their high
school Friday nights. Yeah, whatever they call it, and land
the helicopter there.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
It's pretty cool. I did a traffic report from the
gyroplane once we were out at the airport. Remember you
came out when I was at the West Airport and
you came out and all the guys wanted to meet
Terry Stacey. I mean, here's the radio. There's something, and boy,
everybody she was a she was a pilot magnet that
day because I couldn't get anybody out of the hangar
to move my my gyro plane. But but we broadcast

(07:51):
from the air there we did.

Speaker 10 (07:54):
You know? That was that was when will write a
book someday.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah, we'll get around to that.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
But right now Nature Spire is where we are, and
we continue on here. We will be giving helicopter rides later.

Speaker 10 (08:06):
We're gonna ye Denny's.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
There's a uh yeah, and there is a there's a
golf golf course right here.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Bias, we're gonna land right on the green.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Terry and I did have an idea that maybe we
should do a little competition put off a put off.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
And it's kind of cool. So what's the deal with
the do they sell putting greens too?

Speaker 10 (08:22):
Probably that type of we'll fight out, but I think
that'll say synthetic lawn sin lawn Indiana. Okay, we're in
the putting park, really.

Speaker 6 (08:30):
The putting park which is right before the Carmel Arts District.

Speaker 10 (08:34):
Ye on Elm.

Speaker 11 (08:35):
They also do what is it. I don't know if
this is right. The word porch art is the only
I can describe porches place. Yes, so they can come
to your count and put containers or they're giving away
I think actually today because it's the regrand opening, they're
giving away a free pumpkin.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
I know they're doing the pumpkin.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Thing, the pumpkin things. It will come out and just
deck out everything.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
And it looks it'll be so cute. I was looking
at the pictures.

Speaker 6 (09:02):
I'm like, man, they did that one where it's like,
look like two waterfalls on each side of the porch.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yeah, fall the pumpkins.

Speaker 11 (09:07):
And it's so funny because I see those things online
are on Pinterest, and I'm like, oh, that's so cute.
I think I can try to do that, and then
I try every time and I feel so I'd rather
just trust someone like these guys and maybe come out,
because that would be really fun if you had a
fall party or Thanksgiving or like the family coming over.

Speaker 6 (09:21):
People are into the fall decors. Oh yeah, especially after
this got start happening, when kids stopped smashing pumpkins, that's
when it started.

Speaker 12 (09:30):
What do you think that was?

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well, I think one kids got lazy. H and you can't.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
I mean we now have to throw We throw away
our pumpkin every year. No one ever takes it and
smashes it. I don't know what's wrong.

Speaker 10 (09:42):
You just throw it away. Yeah, point, the acres would
love to have your pump Well, you know what, actually,
all the ones from the store we send, we do send.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
To the pigs.

Speaker 10 (09:52):
Oh good, good good.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
You can also drop them off at the parks like
Carmel's Parks for the deer and for Hamilton County Park
so huh, and the deer love them. But you have
to cut them, don't just smash them. Yeah, take a
knife and spread them out so they can.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
You can actually drop them off anywhere. Some of the time.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
It's not legal theoretically, yes, yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Yeah, uh so.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
But I do think now instead of just the one pumpkin,
people do this multiple these displays of all the pie
pumpkins and and the amount of different pumpkins and gords
that you can get now really kind of make it
interesting because it used to be it was just orange.

Speaker 10 (10:26):
And every year I say I want to grow gords,
and I never do I want to grow them.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
I do. I wonder what the.

Speaker 10 (10:32):
Biggest gordon wise at the state.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
Do you want to the gorge with the big warts
on them? Yea, like the uglier the better.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
Yeah, yeah, the warts, I mean they're just And then
I have to, like when I go down the list
of of all the gords and pumpkins, it's like I
can't even have to look them up, you know.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Blue dolls, and just grow the gourd.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
I don't know. I've never grown gords.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Is that one crop or are they multiple years?

Speaker 11 (10:59):
They grow me some of the I've accidentally grown gords
a couple of years ago, Terry. A couple of years ago,
Terry and I did a craft corner where we uh
oh yallowed out some little gourds and made candles out
of them, and I just threw it the remains in
my backyard by my dad's pull barn. And uh a
year later, uh he texted me and he's like, I

(11:21):
think there's gords growing all around my truck right now,
and there's pictures and there's this little gourds popping up.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, so just throw it somewhere natural gardener. That's pretty cool.
But we had so many I didn't have to do
with them.

Speaker 10 (11:36):
Oh I love them. You can make them into birdhouses.
I have two that are just rotten, and also love
the way they look. There's speckledy and I just love
rotten stuff.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
I do.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
I know.

Speaker 6 (11:47):
That's there's nothing that grosses me out more is like
pumpkins and gords that have rotten.

Speaker 10 (11:52):
Oh, the way they start to kind of deform and
sink in.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
I do not like that. I'm not because like a
nice firm gorg.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
Does it remind you of Indiana Jones when the guy
says he chose poorly and his face shrinks in and
all the oh yeah, yeah, yep.

Speaker 10 (12:07):
So yeah, Halloween, I mean fall is out. I don't
know what you're doing at Sullivan, but right now, oh
it is every other store. Everything is fall.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Yep, we're getting and even a little Christmas.

Speaker 10 (12:18):
I'm starting to see pop up hobby lobby.

Speaker 6 (12:21):
Somebody somebody said hobby lobby. Yeah, oh yeah, it's doing Christmas.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
They got it up and it's well, it's.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Hot as the summer.

Speaker 6 (12:28):
As I was like, well, we we've been getting in
Christmas trees all week. We got two containers in this week.
We had two in last week.

Speaker 10 (12:36):
It was so hot everywhere this summer, all across our planet.
And I'm wondering if that's going to affect the Does
that affect the Christmas trees?

Speaker 3 (12:44):
These are from China.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Yeah, before we get into the artificial, before we get
to the break, how did they go with the tariffs
on those things?

Speaker 6 (12:52):
You know what the tariffs? We we made a deal
with our broker in the factory in China. So it's
a thirty percent tariff. Ten percent went the Chinese factory
ate it, the broker ate ten, and then we got
ten that is Remember that's not ten even at our cost,

(13:12):
because they import him at the factory's cost.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
So it ends up just being two or three percent.
Not bad.

Speaker 6 (13:20):
So when President Trump says China's paying paying the tariffs,
he's not exactly correct. But he's not exactly incorrect because
they are paying some, but the American people are paying
some as well.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Wait a minute, did you give him a fist fight
in a bar fight? What happened to your knuckles. That
looks like a tooth cut. Well, you know, we hit
a guy in a tooth. No lippy, grandschild, nobody gets
sway with anything, gets slov's.

Speaker 13 (13:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
I don't know what that's from, you know.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
No, I've hit that age where if I if I
look at a sharp wall or like a corner, I
just start bleeding.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't even have to hit it.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
Oh wow, just starts.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Have you got there yet?

Speaker 8 (13:55):
Tera?

Speaker 10 (13:55):
No, I think you're I think you're running a little early.
That's usually when your skin is and you'll age.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
Just like, did you get signed up for medicare?

Speaker 3 (14:03):
No?

Speaker 6 (14:04):
Oh not chat, I still have three months? Yeah, why hurry,
why hurry.

Speaker 10 (14:10):
Take your time. Those three months will get here when
they get here.

Speaker 6 (14:12):

So you've got the glasses glass and if you put
the glasses on, okay, almost put them on over my glasses,
which would have been weird. You put them on. Now,
these are so good. And then if I want to
look down but I'm watching TV, but I'm scrolling or something,
all I have to do is bend the front and
they bend down, so now I can look down. But
I can still see straight across without actually having to

(20:30):
do anything, like.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
Can you make opera glasses?

Speaker 10 (20:32):
And then you can make it if I want to
lay in bed and watch on the side. And sometimes
you know, I don't know why, but if you're reading this,
your arms will come down, or the arms, your arms, arms,
the glasses will come down, so you can do you
can even just pick them up and put them like
opera glasses. Are you The arms bend and the and

(20:55):
the front of the glasses actually bend in all directions,
so they they're just perfect. Are you customizable?

so right, yeah, and he's he's forty.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Yeah. It's not do you think.

Speaker 10 (22:19):
No, But if you think about it, it's not just
a new thing either because you you can't remember producers
or engineers.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
No, that's not true.

Speaker 6 (22:27):
Sometimes I think their names are too complicated, so I
just rename them, like what's your name, Stu?

Speaker 4 (22:33):
I know it's Devin.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Okay, Well that's that's a dumb name.

Speaker 10 (22:38):
Okay, So it's not a dumb name.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
I mean, Stu is way better. I mean I bet it.
Would you have rather been named Stu? Yeah, if it
was up to him?

Speaker 4 (22:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yeah, Devin gets you beat up on the playground. Do
you want to right?

Speaker 10 (22:54):
Do you wish you had a different names?

Speaker 3 (22:56):

You know somebody that knows a lot of names is
Joe Polizzi.

Speaker 3 (23:02):

Speaker 6 (23:18):
You guys are there, you go now, Joe was a

Speaker 13 (23:35):
All the way you go?

Speaker 3 (23:38):
See, there you go.

Speaker 13 (23:40):
He was born and bred to play football. Devn never know.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
So your son, Benedict, he's a real stud. But he's
got the name of a priest, Benedict.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
You know, what's what I think we should explain who
Ben is.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Ben was wearing producers overnight.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
He was.

Speaker 10 (23:59):
He was a pretty user here at w IBC for
a while and no one could know one know, there
was not a female in the building that could not
look him in the eye and talk talk complete a
sentence right now. And then he went on to become
famous as one of these guys that's on these cool shows.
He Love Island or you know, some of these cool things.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
And he does stand up comedy now a podcast.

Speaker 10 (24:25):
That's really it. I mean, he's a comedian. And anyway, Benedict,
we like him. We like to check on him and
see how he's doing.

Speaker 5 (24:32):
He's out in California.

Speaker 13 (24:34):
He is out in California, and he travels all over
the country. But before he got famous, we did the
Ben and Joe Show, which the Sullivan Hardware was one
of our prime sponsors, and I'll forget Pat coming through
for us back in the day. That was fun. That's
where he got his start.

Speaker 6 (24:52):
I love that they broadcast the broadcast the Bishop Stard
football games.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Oh they did all Hey, Joe, this is a miche
Less spot and I got to try it. We'll get
we're here at Nature Spire, which is on Elm and
Range Line Road, and they told us that Michelle has
put your put their barn back or their groage back
together after they had another fire, and it looks beautiful, Joe, beautiful,
but they want she wanted to put in a good
plug plug for michelas today.

Speaker 13 (25:20):
I appreciate that. I appreciate that, and that's uh, that's
our expectations. We've got great leadership and we've got great people,
and our claim is to be the best, and if
not the best, we are working that way. I'm going
to talk a little bit today if I get a
chance on storm season preparation because it's coming up unfortunately,

(25:41):
we're coming up to the end of August and THENTO September,
and I just have a few tips for homeowners and
building owners out there. Make sure your trees are trimmed
and the branches are are pruned, remove any dying and
dead weak limbs in case the storm comes through. I
may sure your gutters and down spouts are clean and

(26:03):
removed from debris. Check your roof to make sure it's prepared.
No missing or loose shingles, just basics like that, and
also very important is to review your insurance policy, make
sure you're covered for things like that, so in case
it does happen, you're taken care of. And of course,

(26:24):
if any of these mishaf occurs, contact us will be
there on the spot with expertise and experience and do
a good job and taking care of you and getting
you back the hole. And that's the whole purpose, you know.

Speaker 6 (26:38):
Joe, the morning of our fire and I was standing
in the ruins of our house and.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
I said, the best who's insured? Who's insured this?

Speaker 6 (26:46):
Because we have, you know, we have buildings and businesses,
And I'm like, who insures this? They go, It's it's Larry.
It's like, but she goes, I think it's Larry. It's like,
I'm like, please, Lord, tell me this is insured. We
were insured. But that's a good thing to check, just
to make sure because I don't know that we you know,
we trust Larry's a you know, a high school friend, and.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
He does a great job.

Speaker 6 (27:11):
But it's like, at the time of a fire, you're like,
has anyone checked this to make sure that we're actually insured?

Speaker 4 (27:18):
Listen to the coach says, check it now, and check
it now. You never know what you're going to get
Hurricane Devon here in central Indiana.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
That's right, that's what you need or anything like that.

Speaker 13 (27:27):
Yeah, And you could go years and years and years
and not pay attention to that, and all of a sudden,
here we go and we're scrambling to find out if
we're covered and where our policy is and all those things.
But it's it's important. It's important every year to check
on that and make sure you're fully fully covered.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
There you go, Joe, thank you very much. We appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (27:47):
I hope you have a Are you going to take
in some high school football and college football this uh?

last night in the last minute touchdown passed to win.
It's gonna be a great year. We've got Marian versus
U Indy next week on Thursday night, which is going
to be a small college extravaganza. And so we're getting
getting things rolling.

Speaker 6 (28:13):

Maybe.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
I don't think we have a delay. I think we're
dead on.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
I think he just misses the eye contact.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
It's uh, it's caramel. Everything dead on.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Hey, except the address. I said Range Line Road north,
and it's not. It's four twenty one south Range Line Road.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
My apologies, Danny. Everyone's north right now.

Speaker 15 (29:08):
I know.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Oh everyone's over on four to twenty one right now,
wondering where the hell we are.

Speaker 10 (29:12):
That's just where it becomes when it becomes south. That
I don't know, because this really feels north.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
Well, maybe it's main Street. Main Street's north. I bet
that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
It is.

Speaker 6 (29:22):
I'm surprised they want anything south here in Carmarth. Figure
it all be north.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Look at that. You can see the hinges in the dome.
It's starting to pull back now at nighttime?

Speaker 10 (29:31):
Is the most perfect day is learning is so beautiful?

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Hey, where's the Isn't there a farmer's market going on right.

Speaker 10 (29:38):
Now in Carmel?

Speaker 16 (29:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Probably think there is.

Speaker 10 (29:40):
Saturday's the day usual.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Where's the pladium?

Speaker 4 (29:42):
Then to the west of us, I just passed it,
Yeah right, then it's on the other side of the
Allied Solutions.

Speaker 6 (29:49):
Is that where the farmers market is? They always have
a camera at Fox fifty nine.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
So, oh, you're.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
Saying about the green where they set up the green?

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Is that in between the pladium?

Speaker 10 (29:58):
And I think it is? Yeah, a big space. They
have the ice skating ring.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Go and get us a couple of buildings. The buildings
are so tall you have to have landmarks. And off
to the west here you can see the water tower
and that's the landmarks. So people find their way around.

Speaker 10 (30:12):
Carmel every time I come to Carmel. Honesty, goodness, I
am I just blown away.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
Yeah, it's.

Speaker 10 (30:20):
Right, But how it has grown?

Speaker 4 (30:22):
Yeah big?

Speaker 17 (30:23):
It really is a little Remember the little downtown Carmel,
I know, I mean you remember that the St John
who lived in downtown Carmel, Johnny Ostler, used to work
at the doostats for the colds.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
You know it's starting to that's what's taking place in
Hambleton County. Westfield's got this special census, and do you
know what the problem is with the census. Carmel has
all the senses, but why.

Speaker 10 (30:43):
Do they want to do it right now?

Speaker 4 (30:44):
Because they need more They need more liquor licenses. They
can't open pubs or anything because there's not because the
population doesn't support it. So they can't get the liquor
license through the state of Indiana. They got to fix that.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
The liquor license thing is such.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
A I know, talking to a man with a hardware
store and a liquor license, it's.

Speaker 10 (31:04):
You really hard you really are. If you're a liquor store,
you probably don't want any more liquor people. You probably
don't want anymore.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
Always spent about with the liquor industry. They've always tried
to protect.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Right, Yeah they did. They didn't want the grocery stores
to be able to have refrigerated I mean.

Speaker 6 (31:19):
I didn't about competition, I guess yeah, I didn't want
loads to move down the street from me.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Well how did that work out?

Speaker 6 (31:26):
It was fine. I had to I had to hustle
a little harder now in the South stores just want
to be able to go on the.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
South side, down south southern Indiana where John John grew up.
You know, they didn't need let.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Down in Green County.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
Yeah, the beach on. They just all had stills.

Speaker 7 (31:41):
Always to make our own down there.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Yes, how's everything going?

Speaker 7 (31:45):
I'm good? How are you guys? Where are you guys
that came in here and nobody's here? What happened?

Speaker 4 (31:50):
We heard you were coming?

Speaker 7 (31:52):
Exactly really good. I was going to really spice up
the room with my scent.

Speaker 6 (31:56):
Yeah, were you downstairs working out?

Speaker 7 (31:59):
I was not. No, I got up and uh and
didn't have time to shower, so I just spread myself
down with savage cologne. So Johnny Depp's armpit.

Speaker 10 (32:09):
Wow, So why are you ladies?

Speaker 8 (32:11):
Man?

Speaker 3 (32:12):
What's going on? What are you doing in the station today?

Speaker 7 (32:14):
Colts pregame huddle at ten o'clock? What times the Colts
game one o'clock? Which is awesome really, especially when it's
this boring this one. Yeah, but it's very unusual.

Speaker 6 (32:25):
I thought last week was unusual with the packers at
Saturday one.

Speaker 7 (32:29):
Generally it's a gift because you don't have to jack
around until midnight. Watching a bunch of football you'd rather
not watch.

Speaker 6 (32:36):
I know, but general the pregame shows or or Yeah,
pregames are like Friday and Saturday night, Saturday night at
seven o'clock.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yeah, well, I guess that's kind of cool.

Speaker 7 (32:45):
The pre seasons, yeah, I mean they take it serious, right,
I mean you need to give a quarterback rep so
you don't blame today. That's what the Colts are doing.

Speaker 10 (32:54):
But they are first regular home season game. Is it
next weekend?

Speaker 7 (32:59):
It is? No, I'm sorry, it's two weeks from Sundays. Yeah,
two weeks. Next week is Labor Day weekend, Terry.

Speaker 10 (33:06):
Oh my gosh, how could I yeah, the Labor.

Speaker 6 (33:08):
Day weekend, Bender and mister Day would never they would
never have football players playing on a holiday like, oh well,
mis miss Thanksgiving. Nothing like they want to have on
working on Labor Day.

Speaker 10 (33:21):
Got to rest. They need to rest up.

Speaker 7 (33:23):
Heat this weather up too, because Pat Sullivan loves this weather.
I think it sucks.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
His weather is awesome. You are insane.

Speaker 7 (33:30):
I am not in nobody, and this is already likes
the hot weather. Not October, it's August. Pool time.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Still, we have been through hell.

Speaker 6 (33:39):
We have been through hell with ninety degree days a
month of high humidity.

Speaker 7 (33:43):
Hey, I'll give you hell January and February's hell, Pat, this.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
Is nobody likes. All right, we agree on that nobody
likes winter.

Speaker 7 (33:49):
No, so this is great? Well not this, but it
was great. No, it's not.

Speaker 6 (33:54):
No, dude, I totally disagree with that, and I think
most people do. Everyone complains its hot humid.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
That's my thing is the humidity. I can't. I can't
do it. I don't know how people.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
Week next week really really low humidity.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
That's all I ask.

Speaker 7 (34:12):
I like what it does to Allison's hair, makes it
look at even more awesome than it normally.

Speaker 5 (34:16):
It goes, it grows by the inch.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
It's good.

Speaker 7 (34:19):
Gets it all teased up and stuff.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Yeah, I don't have to do anything with that.

Speaker 7 (34:24):
I get a question. I asked Pati yesterday and clearly
there was no solution to the question. I pose. But
I'm looking for a Can I rent a pool heater
for next weekend? Is that possible?

Speaker 13 (34:34):
Denny?

Speaker 7 (34:35):
Do you have any knowledge upon this?

Speaker 4 (34:36):
I would call the pool shops. It's you know, a
heater is a heater? It's do you have a heat source?

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Out? Answer?

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Do you have do you have pro paane or what
do you?

Speaker 7 (34:45):
We could, yeah, we could very much. Have you bring
a big.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Pig, a propane pig. It's because you can't use the
twenty gallon or the twenty pounders. You're gonna have to
have one of the great you know what.

Speaker 6 (34:55):
That's why I was just going to say, Okay, if
Denny's going to give that kind of answer, light up
your grill and roll it into the pool.

Speaker 7 (35:02):
Well, Denny said about propane, they have pro pane. They
actually have their grill. This is my neighbors at Paradise,
Dave Watson. Their grill is just continuously Denny gets gas
so they don't ever have to use a propane tanks all.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Right, So as long as I'm into that gas supply. Yeah,
but let me ask you a question, John. I know
you're in radio. Why would you ask a radio guy
about a pool here? Call a pool company man.

Speaker 7 (35:26):
Well, this is the home because you guys have all
the answers.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
Yeah, but Pat won't let me go swimming anymore. We
don't have the Sellar pool.

Speaker 7 (35:32):
Home and garden. Denny, you always have all the answers.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Hey, I have a question for you. Yeah, when when
I when I call, I get so busy. I'm calling
you at night on Saturday nights when you're doing the calling.
All right, so it rings and rings and rings and rings,
and nobody answers it. Does that mean you're really busy? John?

Speaker 7 (35:48):
Sometimes sometimes I have to go to the bathroom, so
sometimes I'm out of the room for a man. I
don't get to leave very often. It just kind of
depends on the timing of it. And I'm really sure.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
Do we have to follow your format of eighties music
or nineties music or can we give you anything? I
know you don't like to take my Shania Twain requests anymore.

Speaker 7 (36:05):
No, No, I mean we're doing eighties tonight, or you
can do seventies normally, that's what you like to do.
I don't hesitate to play that for you, buddy, Well,
you know Pat Grew.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
What about the Jonas Brothers.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
What about the je new album out?

Speaker 7 (36:18):
I would hesitate to play that, Allison.

Speaker 10 (36:20):
I would you'd like it? Though, I think you would
like it when you heard it.

Speaker 11 (36:25):
I will find you Jonas Brothers song that you will like.
That'll be my mission for next week.

Speaker 10 (36:30):
Body loves the Jonas Brothers.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
You do did you meet him when they were in studio. No,
I know. I left.

Speaker 6 (36:35):
I was doing a Sunday morning radio till ten, and
then Big Joe goes, hey, there's this new band coming in,
the Jonas Brothers, who want to stay and meet him.
It's like, no, I gotta go to work.

Speaker 5 (36:45):
If you were my father, I don't know if I
could get over that.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
I know. That's what Joe said.

Speaker 6 (36:49):
He called me before he goes, do you want to
bring your kids down to meet the Jonas Brothers? Like?

Speaker 3 (36:52):
No, they got to work too.

Speaker 10 (36:53):
They were kind of just starting out. Then it doesn't matter,
you know you still, but it would have been like,
you know, hey, the you know, the the Jones across
the street brothers are comment You wouldn't even nobody really
knew who they really were. You would so you would
have been like no.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
You would have seen it in their eyes.

Speaker 10 (37:09):
The Sitars one day, Kelly Clarkson had a great show
with them. Did you see it? They really good?

Speaker 5 (37:15):
Kelly Clarkson can sing with anybody, She can sing anything good.

Speaker 10 (37:18):
What about Kelly Clarkson? How about that?

Speaker 3 (37:20):
Do you play any Kelly Clarkson on the show.

Speaker 7 (37:22):
I don't know. I try not to play anything really
from today. Maybe occasionally, but yeah, because then I'll get
like a younger generational calls NonStop.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (37:34):
Yeah, I gotcha.

Speaker 10 (37:35):
What about Peter Frampton Frampton?

Speaker 3 (37:37):
What about Peter Frampton comes Alive? Yes, Peter Comes Alive the.

Speaker 7 (37:42):
Live album eute song. Right there, I can go to
the bathroom nine times. He was talking to his guitar
and guitars talking back, talking.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
To the guitar. That's right.

Speaker 4 (37:53):
So that's weird.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
That is our that is that is our high school
right there?

Speaker 4 (37:57):
It is. It's pro all right?

Speaker 10 (38:03):
Does anybody do that anymore?

Speaker 12 (38:04):
I don't think it hot.

Speaker 7 (38:06):
I know. I don't bring that back, but I will
say this. They do auto tune now to make their
voices sound better.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
So I know that that kind of sucks, doesn't it?

Speaker 7 (38:15):
Yeah? It does, it does.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
Pat.

Speaker 7 (38:17):
But Denny, what do you want to request to Night Alabama? Oh,
Chache Boys, Juice Newton, Ryan milksab Juice Newton?

Speaker 5 (38:27):
Is that a real person?

Speaker 3 (38:28):
Yeah? All right?

Speaker 4 (38:30):
Is February seven too far out to request the Avert
Brothers to request it? No? No, what it's a song?
Oh the Avert Brothers, do you know? February seven, February seven.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
I want to request this song, the.

Speaker 7 (38:45):
Aver, the Avert.

Speaker 4 (38:49):
Yeah, how about how about John Mellencamp the acoustic version
of small Town?

Speaker 7 (38:53):
How about that? That perfect? You want to know why, Denny,
because Scarecrow was released this week back in nineteen eight
years ago, forty years ago.

Speaker 6 (39:05):
Yes, Scarecrow was really and let me guess you you
didn't have to look that up.

Speaker 7 (39:10):
No, I was just off the top of my big
brain here, Pat.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (39:14):
Yes, really, I wish I would have just have it
just a little of your memory.

Speaker 7 (39:19):
I wish I would have appreciated Mellencamp more during that
era because we kind of took him. I took Larry
Birrd for granted as a player here because we heard
and saw saw him so much. And I took Mellencamp
back then for granted too, because it was so, you know,
easy to hear. We were always trying to work to
hear stuff that you see in movies that you couldn't

(39:39):
hear on the radio around here. So I kind of
took Mellencamp for granted. And now he makes you want
to take him from granted. Just sometimes when he opens.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
Up, Guy's going to say, I like you better when
he wasn't political.

Speaker 7 (39:49):
Yeah, well it's not even so when he's just so
damn crotchety. Why is he angry? Angry? Constantly chill out
rock and roll Hall of Fame, great catalogs, gat life.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
That sounds like Rob Kendall.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
You know, I still remember when our when our kids were.

Speaker 7 (40:06):
Playing Grouchy, small and grouchy.

Speaker 6 (40:08):
Yes, he wouldn't you know what he kind of when
he came to rugby games when our sons were playing together.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
Do you wind? No, no, no, melan.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
He would just.

Speaker 6 (40:20):
Sit on top of a fifty five gallon drum, smoking
a cigarette.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
Yeah, so cool.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
So he wear in a leather jacket.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Uh no, it's kind of warm out that, you know,
it's a spring sport.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
But did anyone try to talk to him?

Speaker 6 (40:33):
Yes, occasionally someone would walk up to him, but really
we were kind of actually more hanging around his wife.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
I think hot.

Speaker 7 (40:41):
I just I admire so much his musical talents and
accomplishments in the way that he evolved. I just yeah,
I just wish he wasn't so crotchety. Is there a
way around that? I think there is if you just
adjust your personality a little bit and realize that people
people love what you have done and celebrate that. I
don't know, these guys get tired of it. I think

(41:03):
I told you the story once upon a time when
I met Pauli Shore, did I not at Twin Peaks
and they came over. Yeah, he came over and sat down,
and I said, yeah, man, let's uh, let's talk about
it in Sino Man. He goes, yeah, you know, I
I really don't want to talk about it in Sino Man.
I talked about that all the time, and I thought, well,
what the hell are we talking about?

Speaker 3 (41:21):
Then?

Speaker 7 (41:21):
Seriously, that's about it. Either it's in Sino Man or MTV,
or you go back over there and sit down. What
we're talking about, John, we gotta run. You got to
run hey tonight night until midnight. Denny is going to
request Ronnie Mills.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
Sap No, No, not going to do that now.

Speaker 7 (41:40):
Smoky Mountain Rain.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
When is a good street, when's a good time to
call you?

Speaker 3 (41:46):
How about the best of the Partridges? Oh me, Danny,
call me.

Speaker 7 (41:49):
At seven point thirty. I'll be all over it, all
over it, Denny.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
I'll do my best.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
We're coming right back with more. Ninety three WIBC. Well,
some folks see that grown up men. The STU just
little boys.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
That really the only difference is the price of our toys.
We go for macho symbols like guns, running shoes, pickup trucks,
hun ducks, and power dues.

Speaker 6 (42:26):
Power to hey, good morning, Welcome back to Pat Sullivan,
Denny Smith, Terry Stacy, Allison Lemons.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
It's Stephanie Carlson, my neighbor from down the street.

Speaker 6 (42:36):
From down the street, Denny's neighbor. We are here in
beautiful Carmel, Indiana. The roof is open. It's so nice
it is. It is so nice. The roof is open.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
We have a putting green in front of us, a ship,
a chipping area.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Stephanie, welcome to the program.

Speaker 12 (42:51):
Thank you.

Speaker 18 (42:52):
I'm so pleased to be here, and I'm so excited
that you guys were able to come today and ordered
the perfect weather.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
I know, isn't that great. I have a wedding to
go to.

Speaker 6 (42:59):
We are really excited because it's an outdoor wedding perfectly.
I don't know who needs that kind of stress in
their life.

Speaker 10 (43:04):
Oh that's a lot.

Speaker 6 (43:06):
So the name of the company is Nature Spire. Has
it always been nature spire. You know that what you
came up with no day.

Speaker 12 (43:13):
We came up with from day one.

Speaker 18 (43:15):
But as we grew and started getting more involved in
different programs and going into commercial opportunities and bidding projects,
we just became more.

Speaker 12 (43:23):
Nature or in it.

Speaker 6 (43:24):
Yeah, because businesses start us one thing and become Because
you guys were a pool cleaning company.

Speaker 12 (43:31):
We were a house cleaning company.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
She showed up at the farm one day and said,
you're dome can I can I use that? And I said,
as soon as the marijuana crops down as we harvest,
that's all yours.

Speaker 12 (43:43):
He's such a bad bad I'm like, that's my neighbor.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
No, have you seen all the cop cars at the
at the barn? I mean seriously, yeah, when they're training
the police dogs.

Speaker 12 (43:52):
No, but I heard you were doing that over there.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
That is so cool when you hear the sirens and
the barking and all that. That's us.

Speaker 12 (43:57):
Okay, great, I always think the marijuana.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Yeah, he looks at it as.

Speaker 4 (44:03):
I love.

Speaker 12 (44:04):
I'm safe for now.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
Yeah, you're safe. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (44:06):
He lives at his two grandchildren, says, run dogs. All right,
let's talk about your business. So started in twenty sixteen,
twenty fifteen, something like that. So what did you start as?

Speaker 3 (44:18):
What? What did you think your business was going to be?

Speaker 18 (44:22):
My intent was to teach people how to garden because
I loved a garden, which is why I have that
acreage over in Westfield. And I just love plants and
dealing and making designs and if that makes any sense,
I just love putting gardens together. So I thought, you
know what, I need to teach people how to do this.
Number one, we are surrounded by apartments. There's no horizontal gardens,
so why don't we teach them how to garden vertically,

(44:43):
which is putting the plants on the walls instead of
in the garden.

Speaker 12 (44:47):
So that's where it started.

Speaker 18 (44:48):
And then I was buying porch pots and doing planters
for interior, you know, interiors, like knocking on doors saying hey,
you want some times in your office and sometimes I
get yes, sometimes I get to know. But once I
started doing that, I was like, wait, there's a lot
more to it. This is biophilic design. So I started still, whoa, whoa,
whoa what? Biophilic design?

Speaker 4 (45:09):
Don't use words. I don't know what it means.

Speaker 12 (45:12):
It is the practice. It's become a lot more popular.

Speaker 18 (45:15):
It's the practice of bringing nature indoors to create healthier,
happier spaces.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Justin, justin Carmel. Is that like everywhere?

Speaker 12 (45:22):
No, you can use this in the nursery too. Biophilic design,
biophilic and biophiliate.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
You know, I would have thought that I was an orchestra.

Speaker 10 (45:31):
Yeah, well it.

Speaker 12 (45:32):
Can be an orchestra of plants.

Speaker 4 (45:34):
Sorry, I shouldn't warned you. I sent all the disclaimers
to you ahead of time. You know, it says Pats
a little bit of a loose can Really.

Speaker 12 (45:42):
I listened to you guys all the time.

Speaker 10 (45:44):
So I has real studies and real research that talks
about the benefits of truly extending your life and making
your life better by moving the nature inside. Even if
you just look up for five minutes and you've got
nature next to you, it's it takes down all the
stress everything right right.

Speaker 18 (46:01):
There are bona fide studies that came out in the eighties,
mid eighties, late eighties that really promoted this biophilic design.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
They were all high.

Speaker 12 (46:09):
Yeah they might have been.

Speaker 6 (46:11):
It works, so you know their garden center industry.

Speaker 18 (46:15):
When COVID hit, obviously I already had to go home,
stay at home, and the plant sales went through the roof.

Speaker 12 (46:20):
You'll probably notice that, didn't you, Yes we did. Yeah,
we also became.

Speaker 10 (46:24):
Gardeners or something. We all wanted to grow on food
and plants.

Speaker 12 (46:28):
They became.

Speaker 10 (46:28):
It became the number one hobby again. So till down
a little bit, but came back.

Speaker 4 (46:33):
Tell us about the preserved moss because moss is coming
in in all colors and it really is a lifetime.
I mean, it's not alive, but it looks real, it
feels real, it acts real. So tell us about the moss.

Speaker 18 (46:44):
Yeah, so this is a transition from live plants, right,
So some people just think they can't take care of
live plants, but we'll do the maintenance for them if
they need it.

Speaker 6 (46:51):
But okay, so are you talking about the vertical stuff?
Here is what Dun's talking about.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
Earth can be either.

Speaker 18 (46:55):
It can be either, So moss and live plants can
be both vertical walls. But let's could transition from the
live plants to the moss. So the moss is becoming
more popular because it is no meaning, it's maintenance free,
totally maintenance free. And if you have a space where
you're like I really want to get some plants in here.
I need some plants, but I do not want to
mess with them. Then we'll create a moss design that

(47:16):
either you meet your brand or meets your desire for nature.

Speaker 12 (47:20):
Indoors, we add.

Speaker 18 (47:22):
You know, preserve plants. We have preserved moss. We have
different textures and you all and.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
You really just have to dust it.

Speaker 12 (47:30):
You don't have to do anything to it. I don't
think you dust it anything.

Speaker 6 (47:33):
So what's the split in your in the vertical stuff
that you do on the wall. What's the split between
the moss, the preserved stuff versus live.

Speaker 18 (47:42):
The moss is becoming a lot more popular because you
don't have every two weeks paying for maintenance, and you
don't have any plant replacements, and that the cost of
maintenance is it's like one and done. Otherwise, the live plants,
obviously we have to go every two weeks too.

Speaker 6 (47:55):
I think that I think I would want something live
so that I could see it grow and change.

Speaker 12 (47:59):
And yeah, it's his personal preference.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
Interesting, some people really do hold up your hands a minute.
You're not a gardener. Those nails were just done. Do
you wear gloves all the time?

Speaker 12 (48:08):
Good, all the time?

Speaker 18 (48:09):
All the time, and actually, you know, I used to
do a lot and get really dirty and sweaty and
hot came. And then I turned sixty and became the CEO,
and I said, I'm having other people get sweaty, dirty,
and I'm going to go meet with people.

Speaker 4 (48:21):
And talk about my own business. Somebody else is doing it.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
What is the largest vertical garden you've done?

Speaker 18 (48:28):
Probably we did one over at three Up when they
first opened Three Up rooftop bar over here on Monana,
Maine for those are family, and that was like three
hundred square feet ten feet tall by three hundred feet wide.

Speaker 12 (48:42):
Another one's done that was a huge thirty feet Yeah.
What did I say? Three three hundred square feet is.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
A really big square feet? Im going to say that
was a football field. Yeah.

Speaker 18 (48:50):
So we've done one over Quorteva Agra Science when they rebranded.
It was fifteen feet by ten feet. That's all live
and they wanted that to look like the cornfield dish.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Cool. So you maintained that one.

Speaker 18 (49:02):
We don't maintain that one anymore because they had another
service that was already doing their plants, but we maintained
it for a year to make sure that it was established.
Got it we did one at u of I, University
of Illinois and the Mechanical Engineering Engineering Building.

Speaker 12 (49:15):
We've done a lot of moss walls.

Speaker 10 (49:17):
Can you teach? Can you teach people how to do it?

Speaker 12 (49:20):
Absolutely?

Speaker 3 (49:21):
We do.

Speaker 18 (49:21):
We've done a couple residential living walls where they we
some will want to take care of themselves because they'd
actually enjoy that.

Speaker 12 (49:28):
And the calls for plants or some guidance.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
Every available an eleven o'clock hour on Saturdays for what
we call craft Corner.

Speaker 12 (49:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (49:36):
Absolutely, we do moss workshops, will do plant workshops.

Speaker 10 (49:40):
I mean I love to teach, and what's a moss workshop?

Speaker 15 (49:44):
That?

Speaker 10 (49:44):
Are you doing?

Speaker 4 (49:44):
Well?

Speaker 18 (49:44):
We have some We had so many questions about how
we made these moss designs.

Speaker 12 (49:48):
We decided to show everyone and.

Speaker 18 (49:50):
Actually Linda's going to be out here later on actually
showing people how to put these moss designs together.

Speaker 4 (49:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (49:56):
So we have these little eight by eight.

Speaker 18 (50:00):
Frames and people can come in with their families, with
their friends. They have a bridle shower, they have a
baby shower, they can have bring their own wine.

Speaker 12 (50:06):
My brother's here.

Speaker 10 (50:08):
Oh hello, I read the brother, So you could that
would be fun for a bridal shower, right, early, so
a girlfriend's day is to come and you can create moss.

Speaker 12 (50:16):
Art, Mar's art.

Speaker 18 (50:17):
And you know, we're going to start having I think
next year're going to have some kids camps too, Like

Speaker 6 (50:29):
You should you know we do for at Allisonville. We
do fairy Garden. Yeah, you know, and it is they're

Yeah, your bild whatever il biophilia.

Speaker 12 (51:26):

I want to be at Elm Street.

Speaker 5 (56:45):
Elm Street so lovely.

Speaker 4 (56:46):
Anyway, it's a great day to come out. I mean,
you talk about it, Chamber of Commerce day. There's great parking,
plenty of parking to.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
The west of us.

Speaker 6 (56:52):
Yeah, just right across Range line. So I actually buzzed
it kind of looking and they have a small parking
lot in the back. And then I went down the
Aley and just across the streets there's all the parking that's.

Speaker 4 (57:02):
Free, tons of parking actually yep.

Speaker 6 (57:05):
And here in Carmel, it's really weird because like when
you go to the crosswalk, people.

Speaker 10 (57:09):
Will stop, they too stuff.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
It's and at first I thought it was a trick.

Speaker 4 (57:16):
Those are those are called elevated walkways. Yeah, but they're
really speed bomps. And it really pishes everybody off who
drives through here because you you don't slow down because
there's nobody in the road, because you can really take
around about pretty fast. So carmel'sh' because.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
The speed limit it's just fifteen miles an hour.

Speaker 4 (57:33):
Hey, this is caramel. You can double everything.

Speaker 10 (57:35):
Okay, yeah, Hey, listen, just took a trip inside. A
lot of people coming in and checking it out. It
is it is, truly, this place is like no other
when it comes to this. Mossy art is just everywhere,
and you truly do get tired looking. I touched it.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
They say you can touch it.

Speaker 10 (57:51):
And the little bar back there, a little seating area,
it's just a big bar. What there's a bar back
there in the very in the very back are you'd
love it. You should go look at that part of it.
It's really a cool place.

Speaker 4 (58:03):
Now she's got she's got all these fiddlely figs that
are just a little bit shady, but she knows her stuff.
I mean, this is really a delightful place when you
get in and start seeing the intricacies of the planting,
and that's that's her business. She'll help you with plants,
get you started in plants a natural teacher, and Mackenzie
is the same way.

Speaker 10 (58:21):
So it's lots of good craft ideas. When it comes
to moss. We're going to be mossing until January. And look,
if there's a typewriter. She took an old typewriter, she
turned it into like a planter's really yeah, I mean
just the stuff that kind of does inspire you to think.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
So that's all stuff that's I know of that preserved.

Speaker 10 (58:42):
Some of it is. Yeah, that's really just some really
cool ideas. She's turned them into tables. Look at this table.
It's a round little table for your outside. Are you inside?
And it's just filled a glass table, but underneath it's
all this cool moss and alive.

Speaker 6 (58:59):
You want the uh, the preserved moss or would you
want a living wall?

Speaker 10 (59:04):
You know what? I think I would like to have
the preserved stuff. I want to tell you how many
people I've met over the summer that are all using
plastic flowers this year?

Speaker 5 (59:13):
On that train, we do you talk about how happy
we've been because we didn't have to water any.

Speaker 3 (59:21):
They're so bad, so tacky. Please please don't do that.

Speaker 4 (59:24):
He don't. Let's behind you, okayoyer what he has some
plastic stuff that you can put up on a wall too.

Speaker 10 (59:33):
You wouldn't even know, No, you don't even know.

Speaker 4 (59:36):
Well, we are happier this year.

Speaker 10 (59:38):
I won't do it again, but this year for fun
because it really was trendy, and uh, I thought we'd
give it a try. But I've run into so many
people that have said trend from trending from I'm telling
you you should get some plastic stuff in for next year.
Also your real stuff, but you should just add a
few plastic things.

Speaker 6 (59:59):
Florals tasteful, the kind you can put outside if you want.

Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
They're plastic. I'm not sure why you would, but.

Speaker 10 (01:00:07):
Cause you can put them in these mag Carrie, you're
getting lazy and pot and they look Listen.

Speaker 4 (01:00:13):

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
They're sold used.

Speaker 10 (01:00:17):
To be now this year not because of the heat,
and it was just I do have a few live
things out there and it's been a.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
It was so hot.

I did not know ding good contest the flowers and
they have tulips and they melted in the sun. They
were supposed to be real you're supposed to be real
and in the back killed them. So right before the
judges came, she ran down to the dime store and
picked up some yellow tulips and put them in the back.
And as the judges were coming around, they all just
went hot, day hot. Oh it's hot. Yeah, hot, let's look,

(01:00:49):
and they just all melted.

Speaker 16 (01:00:51):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:00:52):
Anyway, living walls, moss wall, art, plantscapes, seasonal planters, and more.
You can learn all about it here. We're right at
the corner where they call it putting park. You know
what putting park is.

Speaker 10 (01:01:03):
This is this where they've got the little putting green.

Speaker 4 (01:01:05):
Yeah, the city put the City of Carmel put that in.

Speaker 5 (01:01:08):
Oh we were sitting here wondering where it came from.

Speaker 10 (01:01:11):
We thought this was there.

Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
You thought they just.

Speaker 5 (01:01:13):

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
Is that a fake rose terry or a real one?

Speaker 10 (01:01:52):
You can't tell these days.

Speaker 4 (01:01:53):
They're so good.

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
No, I can. That's real.

Speaker 10 (01:01:56):
Well, they need water.

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
Now. The one on the right is fake.

Speaker 10 (01:02:01):
The one on the right in the pot.

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
Now, what is it fake? What type of what type
of Japanese maple is that?

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
Pat?

Speaker 6 (01:02:09):
That is a it's a threat though it's a leaf,
red leaf, I'll think of it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:15):
I've never seen one quite that small, but it looks
pretty cool that way.

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
Yeah, they grow up.

Speaker 6 (01:02:20):
They grow in this kind of mound. Those are like
a mounding style. They're beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:02:24):
When is the best time to trim uh one of those?
I've got some getting I've got one that's gotten really
tall on the on the east side of the house,
but it's starting to get to the gutters. Every time
I trim it, it starts weeping. When is the best time.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
In the fall? One in their dormant after they drop
their leaves.

Speaker 6 (01:02:41):
Okay, I don't think I think you can do it
different times, But doesn't wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
That get a lot of sun where it is?

Speaker 4 (01:02:46):
Yeah? Well this morning of course, you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
Know, right, But isn't that west right out there.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
That's west right out there.

Speaker 6 (01:02:52):
It seems like that is a bad spot. But maybe
that maybe that park, maybe that sign is providing.

Speaker 4 (01:02:58):
Yeah, maybe that's why it's so small. A cute little thing. Anyway,
Here we are at four to twenty one South Range
Line Roud, just watching right on Elm Street.

Speaker 6 (01:03:07):
Watching the roundabouts go by. Kind of fun just sitting
here on the round see a little you know what.

Speaker 10 (01:03:11):
They don't have here, which I think is amazing because
right now it's we're all, we're all going through it.
There's no spiders here, really, there's no spider web. This
is spider Web's web season where you're running into it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:22):
And I've done it once a week.

Speaker 10 (01:03:24):
I did it this morning, putting some trash out, and
it just freaks you out every time because you know
that when you run into it, and you know now
you probably got that spider in your hair.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
And remember when you're growing up and everybody had either
their first pimple or whatever, and they say, what's that
and they say, oh, it's a spider bite.

Speaker 10 (01:03:40):
I you know, I didn't never say that.

Speaker 4 (01:03:42):
I never had a first pimple.

Speaker 5 (01:03:43):
No, I've said it's a spider butt.

Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
That's probably just in the thirties.

Speaker 14 (01:03:47):
Yeah, I would have had spider web. I would have
had to tell everybody it was my first seventeen bites
from a spider with the amount of pimples I had so.

Speaker 10 (01:03:58):
Ally they speak all days. I don't want to hurt him,
I don't want to kill him, but they're right now,
they're just building everywhere.

Speaker 5 (01:04:05):
I will say, what you run into a web?

Speaker 7 (01:04:06):
Though?

Speaker 11 (01:04:07):
My thing is I feel like the web's on me
for the rest of the absolutely. It's like a piece
of hair or something.

Speaker 4 (01:04:10):
I can't find it.

Speaker 10 (01:04:11):
And some of those are so strong.

Speaker 3 (01:04:14):
So glad that I lost all my hair. Oh do
you know?

Speaker 4 (01:04:18):
The strangest place where that you'll find spider webs is
in the air. When I fly the gyro copter about
this time of year, they blow a parachute and the
wind takes them up. It's amazing. You can beat a
thousand feet, you can beat a thousand feet and running
into spider webs and you go, what the heck is this?

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
Jenny?

Speaker 6 (01:04:32):
I wanted to ask I forgot, I wanted to ask
about your thing last week.

Speaker 4 (01:04:35):
Oh, that was really fun to call everyone what it was.
It was a fly in of There are lots of
different brands of gyro copters. One of the best is
made in Italy or the packages. We make them here,
but it's called Magni m A g and I. And
there's always a fly in at doctor Gatros's farm.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
And as doctor gatro He's.

Speaker 4 (01:04:54):
He was my Wazubie who taught me how to build
the great Wazubie. He talked, taught me how to build gyroplanes.
I mean, you're building from a kit and you got
to be really careful because you're flying this thing. Anyway,
we had a whole bunch of gyroplanes land in Sarah Gorda,
which is just back east of Decatur, Illinois. Beautiful farm.

(01:05:15):
It was bloody. So is that down south on the No,
it's right in the center of Decatur, right in the
center of Illinois.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
Okay, But it's a two hour flight there.

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
And because of the wind, it was an hour and
a half flight back. I mean, I was I had
never flown more than one hundred and fifteen mile an
hour on the way back. I got up to one
hundred and thirty five mile an hour. No, no, no,
it was the wind's just pushing you. There's their speed
in ground speed, and the ground speed was really really fast.
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
So Terry was saying, and I'm not sure.

Speaker 10 (01:05:45):
That she got listen to the Ruckus here incarnation.

Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
Yeah, it's.

Speaker 4 (01:05:52):
I think it is racy.

Speaker 6 (01:05:53):
Later, ladies, she was telling everyone to look up because
the gyros were flying in formation and it's a rainbow
of colors.

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
There's the toros and John Deeres.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
You didn't do that, did you?

Speaker 3 (01:06:06):
We did so? You did so you just all flew
in individually.

Speaker 4 (01:06:09):
We flew in individually.

Speaker 6 (01:06:11):
And so were you using since you weren't landing at
an airport. It was just a visual siding.

Speaker 4 (01:06:16):
It was it's in the middle of a cornfield. It's
like build it and they will come. He built a
landing strip and he's got all the equipment.

Speaker 6 (01:06:24):
And so how did you know when it was your
turn to land? You just getting into formation.

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
You have a radio frequency.

Speaker 4 (01:06:29):
He was one twenty two point seventy five and you
just call it and you just say gatros Field gyrocopter
five to two Delta Papa approaching.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
How much came fifteen?

Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
I counted seven that were there. Yeah, and I think
Scotty's got a doctor, Gatros has got a couple, so
they'd make it nine. But we had some fixed on
the guys. And we had a flying bed sheet. You know,
the trike's the one that had the great big King
of ya. We called it flying bed Sheets stand over
in the corner. We humiliate him when they come in,
though they ain't cool. Absolutely anyway, thanks for it's cool.

Speaker 3 (01:07:00):
That was fun.

Speaker 4 (01:07:00):
I'm going to try to get down to Greenwood after
this because that air show, Terry.

Speaker 10 (01:07:04):
It's a down until four I think, and go till four.

Speaker 4 (01:07:09):
Yeah, well I think it's till four o'clock.

Speaker 10 (01:07:14):
A long one, but yeah, you got.

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
To what kind of air show?

Speaker 4 (01:07:17):
Just they bring in vintage aircraft. It's called Young Eagles.
Where is this that again? It's at the Greenwood Airport, Greenwood.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
Are you going to fly down there? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
And land at that airport? Someone might shoot you down. No,
you might look like a drone, a Russian drone.

Speaker 4 (01:07:31):
Okay, we look like we're flying lawnmors. But really we've
got full avi on X. We've got you know, we've
got our radios and we know how to communicate.

Speaker 6 (01:07:39):
Is there an arm like any kind of like weaponry
that you can attach to Well, you.

Speaker 4 (01:07:44):
Know what I want to put on? There is a
great big train horn, so that when I'm over here.
That's f I love to do that.

Speaker 10 (01:07:52):
Uga is always fun too.

Speaker 4 (01:07:53):
I don't think I could hear it that hard a
train horn. I think you could.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
Here.

Speaker 6 (01:07:58):
What if you just had like a hat where you
could drop water melons.

Speaker 4 (01:08:03):
I used to take flour and put them in a
little baggy, and if I flew over somebody's home, I
would drop it. In course, when the flower hits it
spreads out, it breaks the bag and people would say,
where the hell that come from? Well then I'd tell
my neighbor or I tell my friend whoever I dropped it,
and I said, hey, I dropped something off at your
house today. It was flour And he'd say, was that you? Yeah,

(01:08:23):
but you got to be careful dropping things.

Speaker 3 (01:08:25):
From the air. Oh kidding, that's yeah. Kids don't try
that at home. Now.

Speaker 5 (01:08:28):
That's why Pat wants to do water.

Speaker 4 (01:08:29):
And if you're the FAA, I'm just kidd and we're
just making this up for radio.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):

Bryan says, Denny knows the Great Wazoo, the Great Wazoo.

Speaker 4 (01:08:52):
Yeah, I think that was from a cartoon called rough
and Ready when we were growing up.

Speaker 10 (01:08:56):

Didn't the jets Ins or the Flintstones have the Great Wazoo?

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):

Speaker 4 (01:09:02):
I thought it was the Wazoobie. But don't you remember
the rough and Ready song? They're rough and ready, always
rough and ready?

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
There instead, that sounds familiar.

Yeah, but would that be down as well.

Speaker 4 (01:09:50):
Fulton runs a switchboard. He called, he calls the fan,
he calls us, he's calling three other stations, and he
keeps everybody on hold until he hears his name, and
then he pops right in there.

Speaker 6 (01:09:59):

Get rid of them yourself. Yeah, take them out to
the farm for the for the hawks. So you have
a little tattoo. And at first, when I looked at that,
I thought it was an extension cord.

Speaker 15 (01:15:22):
Oh, it's whatever you want it to be.

Speaker 6 (01:15:25):
At the see, I could just glanced down at her arm.
I thought, I've never seen an extension cord tattoo.

Speaker 4 (01:15:30):
Yeah, I've heard you do a thousand interviews, and I've
never heard you call out anybody with a tattoo during
the interview.

Speaker 6 (01:15:36):
Well, normally tattoos are like I just had not seen
a three pronged extension cord.

Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
Now it's an.

Speaker 4 (01:15:43):
Arrow, yes, an arrow in an infinity. So yes, all right,
So how long have you worked with the biz?

Speaker 15 (01:15:49):
Since twenty twenty? So I started in the golf industry. Actually,
I went to school for professional golf management at Coastal
Carolina and yes, and then I came back and I
was like.

Speaker 4 (01:16:01):
This is not it.

Speaker 15 (01:16:02):
I love golf, don't get me wrong, I just cannot
work in it.

Speaker 4 (01:16:06):
You better love Sun's green.

Speaker 15 (01:16:07):
Oh yes, I got a lot of burns from the
past twenty fives or so years.

Speaker 4 (01:16:12):
So the putting green that's out here, did you guys
inspire this or is this just here from Carmel?

Speaker 15 (01:16:16):
Yeah, so that's actually from us. That's when we started
in twenty sixteen. I believe that got put in there.
So it still looks brand new too.

Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
It does looks great.

Speaker 15 (01:16:27):
The install was fabulous. It still looks awesome. We got
some Nature Inspire flags in there as well.

Speaker 3 (01:16:33):
But you're not in the putting green business.

Speaker 15 (01:16:35):
Well we can. Yeah, we've done a few putting greens. Yeah,
it's not like what we're known for.

Speaker 12 (01:16:40):
I would.

Speaker 10 (01:16:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:16:41):
You know, it's kind of funny because that's kind of
how business starts. Sometimes you start us one thing and
then you gravitate to others and it kind of answers
itself what your business is going to be about.

Speaker 4 (01:16:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:16:52):
Well, one thing too about my mom and I is
we very rarely say no we can't do that. If anything,
we try to figure it out and we will do it.
We'll get it done, and we'll get it done right.

Speaker 4 (01:17:01):
So you know your mom, your mom snuck onto our farm.
We live down the street at Illegal Creek in one
hundred and fifty ninth and your mom snuck on the
farm and I thought it was a revenuer. So I
went out there with a twelve gage shotgun. I said,
can I help you, ma'am? She goes I was trying
to get into the dome's she's nosy. She gets right
into your property and goes in there. And I hadn't
harvested the marriwall a neighbor try growing up. I was embarrassed,

(01:17:25):
you know, I didn't want her to see my hootch
out there. So anyway, well, so that's a tree.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
Oh, I know where I was going. So you also do.

Speaker 6 (01:17:35):
So your mom talked about some of the wall, the
living wall type stuff, But what about just containers.

Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
Do you do that like spring and all containers?

Speaker 15 (01:17:44):
And absolutely we do every season. We were doing fall
coming up. I'm still getting that stuff set up as
of right now, we're just doing the pumpkins, but we
do have an add on to add moms onto that.
But we also do holiday decor as well.

Speaker 6 (01:18:00):
You do, Like, can people buy a package where they
where you do what spring all Christmas?

Speaker 15 (01:18:06):
Or yes, that's currently in the works to do like
buy the package at the at the beginning and then
we'll come out throughout the seasons. But as of right now,
we're just doing it, Like so.

Speaker 3 (01:18:16):
They can order it from you, but you just order
each each thing.

Speaker 15 (01:18:19):
Yes, yeah, but that's in the works.

Speaker 4 (01:18:21):
What part of the business do you like the best?

Speaker 15 (01:18:23):
I like the moss, like the you can't kill it
and it looks awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:18:29):
So so do you go through the preservation process or
when it comes in it's already been preserved.

Speaker 15 (01:18:33):
It's already been preserved. Yeah, it's like a glacerine water
mix and everything's chemical free, non toxic. So if you
got babies or dogs or cats or any pets that
like to just put stuff in their mouth just for fun,
they'll be Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:18:46):
Do you ever have to wash it?

Speaker 12 (01:18:48):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:18:48):
No? So do you buy it? What size?

Speaker 6 (01:18:51):
I mean we buy like from super Moss. We buy like,
you know, little bags and stuff for consumers. You guys
must buy them in giant bags.

Speaker 15 (01:18:58):
You should see our attic.

Speaker 10 (01:19:00):
It's crazy really.

Speaker 5 (01:19:01):
Oh yeah, so an installation they use moss yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:19:03):
Think, well, the.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
Eating bill went down once we started doing a lot
of mass.

Speaker 4 (01:19:09):
I think it would be great in our studios because
it would absorb the sound. Just as much as that's
a brilliant idea, it really would be cool and it's
not so start.

Speaker 6 (01:19:17):
So right now you do mostly commercial, but more and
more residential.

Speaker 15 (01:19:22):
Yeah, as the residential word gets out. I mean we
also do the moss workshops too, So if they don't
want like a two hundred dollars moss art piece in
their home, they can come in and it's fifty dollars
per person and they can create their own moss art.

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
So for fifty bucks, do you leave with a little
eight inch.

Speaker 15 (01:19:38):
By eight inch? Yes, And there's three different frame colors
to choose from black, white and this like gray farmhouse.

Speaker 4 (01:19:43):
Look, so where are you doing that? Are you doing
inside the store here?

Speaker 13 (01:19:47):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (01:19:48):
Yeah, that's really your mom said that you guys were
thinking about doing like a kid's one next summer.

Speaker 4 (01:19:53):
Yeah, those are huge.

Speaker 6 (01:19:54):
I mean moms are looking for stuff for the kids
to do. Oh yeah, so highly commend.

Speaker 4 (01:20:01):
Is it all with a hot glue gool? Yes?

Speaker 6 (01:20:03):
Yeah, there's nothing better than having a four year old
with a hot glue gun.

Speaker 15 (01:20:06):
Oh we love third degree burns.

Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
Yeah, teach them a little.

Speaker 5 (01:20:10):
Lesson, yeah, right, makes them stronger.

Speaker 4 (01:20:12):
It doesn't make them stronger if it doesn't bleed them
to death.

Speaker 3 (01:20:15):
All right.

Speaker 6 (01:20:15):
So is there anything that has surprised you? So you
you came to after the when did you leave the
golf industry twenty so you've.

Speaker 4 (01:20:23):

I retired and it was like, wow, what a difference
in life.

Well, we have a plant shop now. That's pretty good.
There you go, that's a big change. I don't know,
just like the growth that we've seen throughout the past
five years is just insane.

Speaker 6 (01:20:48):
Such a it's just such a you know what what
people will tell you, and I'm sure they already do
because they tell us in our stories like sometimes they're
not if they're feeling sad, they just want to come
look at your plants. Yeah, and it just makes people happy.
It's you sell happy. Yeah, that's what you do.

top of the ar I'm gonna.

Speaker 5 (01:21:50):
Think that's where Terry is now.

Speaker 3 (01:21:51):
Actually, yeah, what is with Terry? Why Why can't I
just wander around like she does?

Speaker 4 (01:21:55):
Because you're this is quote your show, remember, Oh that's right,
it is my Mackenzie. We're not allowed to say hour.
We have to say Pat's show is your show.

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
It is what it is. McKenzie's right, Yeah, so is
this your mom's business?

Speaker 4 (01:22:09):
It is?

Speaker 12 (01:22:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
See there you go. But our number three is coming
up ninety three WYBC.

Speaker 1 (01:22:22):
Well some folks see that had grown up men, as
do just little boys. That really the only difference is
the price of our toys. We go for macho symbols.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
Like guns, running shoes, pickup trucks on ducks, and power dudes.

Speaker 3 (01:22:42):
Power to to.

Speaker 13 (01:22:47):
You.

Speaker 4 (01:22:47):
Just mellow the Garden Show, Pat Sullivan, Dinny Smith, Allison Lemons,
Terry Lee, Stacy, Terry Lynn, Stacey, Terry Lee. At least
I didn't call you, Ashley. We're at four twenty one
South Range Line Road. We're in the Carmel Arts and
Design District and we're with Nature Spire And I tell
you what. I just walked back in inside Alison and
those moss walls. I just love that moss stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:23:10):
This is such a very charming place.

Speaker 11 (01:23:12):
They have house plants right when you walk in, so
if you are like a houseplant person yourself and you
want something, you can buy that, or you can go
inside look at their living walls, which I think are
so cool. They also moss walls, which you don't have
to take care of. They can install for you and
leave it, which is my favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:23:27):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:23:27):
The living wall is something you attached to the wall itself,
and they've got these little pockets that are sort of
cupped out and to go back, and they put a
little bit of organic soil in there and they loaded
up with plants and it is absolutely gorgeous. In fact,
I think that's where Pat was out there on the
barn and you ran into Pilcher, didn't you.

Speaker 3 (01:23:46):
Yep, Greg Pilcher. Yeah, from the old days.

Speaker 4 (01:23:49):
Pilcher was one of his first producers, and so it was.

Speaker 6 (01:23:52):
But Greg, Greg, Greg was doing ran the board and
stuff for the morning show.

Speaker 4 (01:23:58):
I'll be darned, I thought that was Danny.

Speaker 10 (01:24:00):
Oh you know what, we're catching him with lots of
really great listeners that are here. Thank you for stopping by.
But Greg Pilcher and his wife are here. And as
he said, you know, some of our favorite memories are
of Greg Pilcher filter coming. But I told him we
still talk about him, you know, in certain instances.

Speaker 3 (01:24:17):
Here we're gonna Putilter on this.

Speaker 10 (01:24:20):
He was our producer.

Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
Greg.

Speaker 4 (01:24:22):
Hello, Pat, you haven't you haven't changed a bit.

Speaker 20 (01:24:24):
I haven't except gotten older and uglier. I think that
is I think, Uh, I don't know. Exponential wrinkles is
a good term.

Speaker 6 (01:24:33):
You know, it's another big word. So how long did
you h run the board for the morning show?

Speaker 4 (01:24:42):
Well, Steve ran the board pretty much. I did not
do that.

Speaker 10 (01:24:46):
You were more of a producer.

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
Yeah, how are the producer?

Speaker 20 (01:24:49):
But I did run the board like nine o'clock hour,
you know, because you guys had to go out and
get your food.

Speaker 3 (01:24:55):
So that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
So I did that for I believe six years.

Speaker 5 (01:25:00):
It seemed like a lifetime. This was Terry's morning show
with the pitch.

Speaker 6 (01:25:03):
Okay, did you you didn't you go out with us
a little bit when we would Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:25:07):
I did? The time we would go to uh Daddy Jack's.

Speaker 6 (01:25:10):
Yeah, No, I didn't mean that. I meant going out
on like remotes. We would go, we would go places,
and you would you would come with us.

Speaker 4 (01:25:19):
Yeah, that's true. I uh we were remembering.

Speaker 10 (01:25:21):
We went to Hell.

Speaker 5 (01:25:22):
We went to colds camp. We did colds camp.

Speaker 10 (01:25:24):
He took me and we did colds camp every year.

Speaker 20 (01:25:27):
Honestly. And I don't know if this is good for
radio or whatever. I think it's pretty funny, but we
go with it. We went in the Goodyear blimp. They
they and so we went up in the good It
was just me and Terry and the pilot.

Speaker 10 (01:25:39):
Oh that's so cool.

Speaker 3 (01:25:41):
I would not have done that.

Speaker 4 (01:25:42):
But I believe Terry might have Peter pants.

Speaker 3 (01:25:46):
Did you pee your pants?

Speaker 4 (01:25:49):
So that's memory, dude.

Speaker 10 (01:25:51):
And it was such a sweet, gentle slow ride. Was
it was just a little bit.

Speaker 15 (01:25:59):
It just.

Speaker 3 (01:26:02):
That's kind of weird.

Speaker 10 (01:26:03):
It was well, I mean the landing is weird. You know,
you're just waiting for people to captures.

Speaker 4 (01:26:07):
Yeah, this explains so much why you will not ride
with me.

Speaker 10 (01:26:10):
But a lot of stuff.

Speaker 20 (01:26:12):
Look that gybra chapter is that is dangerous. Long if anybody.

Speaker 4 (01:26:19):
Turn his mic down, Okay, it's dangerous, he says.

Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
He always says there's science behind it. It looks like.

Speaker 20 (01:26:25):
A So there's definitely science behind Toro, but safety is
not a part of science. Borrow wings just asking that's
a pilot.

Speaker 4 (01:26:33):
Okay, So are you still saving souls?

Speaker 3 (01:26:35):
What are you doing now?

Speaker 20 (01:26:37):
Right now? I'm unemployed. I have a couple of projects
that I'm working on related to art. Yeah, so yeah,
I will do it if.

Speaker 3 (01:26:44):
I am asked, Yeah, ten dollars an hour. I'll do it.

Speaker 4 (01:26:47):
I do it for, I do it for, I do
it for twelve. Really, that's that's that's what we call it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:55):
You or leave it.

Speaker 20 (01:26:57):
Hey, guys, thanks for thanks for saying good word, great
great seeing you took you on Saturday. When I was
it was terrifying.

Speaker 4 (01:27:05):
It was show I remember Pat's very first show.

Speaker 3 (01:27:09):
Awful he was.

Speaker 4 (01:27:10):
He was literally trembling. Do you know you know what
he says, he hopes the last hour of his life
is as long as the first hour. That well, we
all feel that way.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
You know what.

Speaker 6 (01:27:22):
And remember our at the time who hired me, Tom Saverino.
But Bobby Hatfield, Yeah, Bobby Hatfield.

Speaker 20 (01:27:30):
Bobby Hatfield, Well he was. He was about the same
height as I was.

Speaker 10 (01:27:33):
It's just terrifying, though, terrifying.

Speaker 3 (01:27:36):
He was terrifying. Man.

Speaker 4 (01:27:39):
That's a good that's a good analogy.

Speaker 3 (01:27:41):
What my Hatfield was.

Speaker 6 (01:27:42):
Chip Ganassi. But he was a good he he kind
of knew what he was doing. I mean, it was
just he did. But he did tell me. I saw
him walking out and he was probably pale after a
two hour show, and he goes, hey, you know, before
you know it the weeks will fly by, years will
fly by, and I'm like, yeah, right here it is
thirty two years later.

Speaker 3 (01:28:01):
It's like he's right, two years.

Speaker 4 (01:28:02):
Sounds like that, Rad Paisley. So I can't be that old.
I mean, that's that's the way.

Speaker 3 (01:28:06):
That I know about. We were all kids.

Speaker 4 (01:28:08):
What are you fifty five? Sixty five?

Speaker 20 (01:28:11):
Oh my gosh, yeah, just turned sixty five, Terry looks good.

Speaker 4 (01:28:15):
My zip is my zipper down? I know, it's my
flashlight on? Where's where's my phone?

Speaker 3 (01:28:23):
That's a new thing, sir, your zippers down? In your flashlights?

Speaker 4 (01:28:25):
Yeah, get off my lawn. Well you guys again. Thanks appreciate.

Speaker 13 (01:28:31):
Greg.

Speaker 4 (01:28:32):
You guys have a good show. We'll talk to you soon.
Stay out of jail, yeah, Relture alright.

Speaker 3 (01:28:37):
Greg Pilcher, He's right.

Speaker 5 (01:28:39):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 10 (01:28:40):
We've been so blessed with so many good people that
have left these these memories that we will never forget.

Speaker 3 (01:28:46):
I know it's one of stupid things.

Speaker 10 (01:28:49):
But they allowed us to. They allowed us to and
it was just a different time. And I'm sorry, folks,
if you're listening that we always I would do lots
of here and reminisce a lot, but uh, it'll happen
to you too, where you're just like you want to
go down then down memory Lane.

Speaker 4 (01:29:06):
Suddenly all of our grandparents don't seem quite so boring,
you know, no, God exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:29:11):
Nature Spire is where we are in Carmel for twenty
one South Range Line Road.

Speaker 4 (01:29:18):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (01:29:19):
Just go through the roundabout. If you're coming from the south,
go through the roundabout and then there's parking road on
the right hand side.

Speaker 4 (01:29:26):
If you're coming from the north, you have to go
all the way down and then turn around at the
southern end.

Speaker 3 (01:29:33):
You just go over the median.

Speaker 4 (01:29:34):
Yeah, that'll work anyway. Welcome to Carmel's art.

Speaker 6 (01:29:37):
And this is a really cool uh And I didn't
make it very far. I was trying to get to
the bar or whatever it is, but I made it
to the garage, which is where they.

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
Have a lot of house plants. They do very cool.

Speaker 10 (01:29:49):
I don't know if we've mentioned that, but yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:29:50):
They've got a lot of the house, a lot of
Fiddley figs outside, which is where fiddley figs really get stronger.
A lot of people bring their fiddlely figs in all
the time and they do what that is. It's that
big banjo. See that the plant right.

Speaker 10 (01:30:04):
On the ground.

Speaker 4 (01:30:06):
It needs to off the wind to cellar, but it
doesn't get stronger. It gets weaker if it doesn't have
wind to blow it around, and pretty soon they get
leggy inside and you got to trim them back.

Speaker 10 (01:30:15):
Is that right to say you need a little breeze.

Speaker 6 (01:30:17):
Well, I think it's always good to in the summer
if you could get your plants out a little bit, yeah, around,
and you know, then you can always put a strong
fan on them.

Speaker 4 (01:30:26):
Yeah, that's a good Or go over and shake him.
I honestly, I had one of the master gardeners from
Hamilton County just said go over and shake the leaf
a couple of times, or shake the Thank god you're retired,
Yeah yeah, got nothing else? What are you doing, hunt,
I'm going to go show.

Speaker 3 (01:30:39):
I'm gonna go shake the fiddle leaf.

Speaker 4 (01:30:41):
Yeah it's beautiful.

Speaker 10 (01:30:43):
That is pretty. I love it. Gorgeous. They have a
lot of pretty I would have.

Speaker 6 (01:30:47):
Never foreseen the house house plant craze.

Speaker 3 (01:30:51):
Oh it's crazy.

Speaker 6 (01:30:52):
I mean to think that there's house plant stores and
there is a bunch of them that popped up for
a while. I'm not sure how many are Allison. Do
you have any houseplants stores that you know of?

Speaker 11 (01:31:03):
Oh, I mean, especially around here, there's a lot of
like these little boutiques like where we're at today.

Speaker 5 (01:31:07):
They're just like specializing.

Speaker 6 (01:31:08):
But these guys have that they're doing so much more
than houseplants and they've got all their are you know,
they're doing commercial business. So this is a whole. I
think houseplants are just a little sized.

Speaker 4 (01:31:17):
This is Carmel's only boutique plant place. They are the first,
and boutique means they'll sort of work with you if
you want to design something or do something, and you
know with look what Jack Phipps tells us from Alisonville,
how much money people will put into the house plants.
Oh my god, yeah, yeah, what didn't you have like
a four hundred dollars plant?

Speaker 6 (01:31:35):
I got us out of that. They we have, we had,
like when I bought Allisonville. There's quite a few houseplant
nerds and they, you know, they're always into the rare
and it it kind of like pushes towards people's obsessions.

Speaker 4 (01:31:51):
It's like beer nerds, Pat, how many times have you
seen a beer nerd that they you know, they they
get crazy about this, I p A or this.

Speaker 6 (01:31:59):
And I just didn't you know, having plants sitting on
the shelf like a little four inch pot that's four
hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:32:04):
Yeah, that's like.

Speaker 4 (01:32:05):
Can you make any money on that? I mean, because
that's from the wholesaleer. You're buying them gem many Christmas.

Speaker 6 (01:32:11):
Yeah, so we like, no, somebody that that needs to
be done online and now people you know, propagate them.

Speaker 4 (01:32:17):
And stuff and can you do that on Amazon?

Speaker 3 (01:32:19):
Yeah, I'm sure you can.

Speaker 10 (01:32:20):
We have a lot of it felt like from what
I know over the summer, and the talk was people
like succulents.

Speaker 4 (01:32:28):
Yeah, whatculent?

Speaker 10 (01:32:32):
You know, I've a couple of take care of the
kids have gone to college and they got them little
succulents to take care of it. The windows.

Speaker 6 (01:32:39):
Those to the whole thing that we say about young people.
You know, they can't take care of anything. They're you know, lazy,
they're so they got their succulent.

Speaker 10 (01:32:48):
They got their succulent.

Speaker 6 (01:32:49):
I made our kids when they went to college, I
made them take a philadeldroum.

Speaker 4 (01:32:53):
Okay, did you lump all young people into one?

Speaker 3 (01:32:57):
I was just trying to be the grouchy.

Speaker 10 (01:32:59):
Old man sixty five. I'm not even paying.

Speaker 11 (01:33:03):
It's bruising all the time. Skin so thin, so thin,
special lotion.

Speaker 4 (01:33:14):

might have fractured.

Speaker 4 (01:33:22):
Calcium deficiency. Do you remember one time?

Speaker 3 (01:33:26):
Wait, I'm not sure I can talk to you.

me in the arm so hard that I almost fell
out of my chair.

Then they turned out.

Speaker 6 (01:37:03):
I went from a dumpster fire to a garage fire,
and Micheles came out and helped them out like they

Speaker 5 (01:37:09):
And I will say, now the garage looks beautiful. Yeah,
they have it painted with some flowers on it. Houseplants
housed inside.

Speaker 4 (01:37:17):
When that garage door comes down, that whole side is
a mural. Oh, that it's cool. The painter Chick from
Carmel's one of the paint of that.

Speaker 3 (01:37:26):
It's called painter Check.

Speaker 4 (01:37:27):
See her signature up here. That's cool painter Check. Oh yeah, yeah,
she's she's got some talent painter check.

Speaker 3 (01:37:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:37:35):
But here we are at four twenty one South Range
Line Road, which is right at Elm Street and just
south of the Carmel Arts and Design District, and we're
we're we're learning a lot of things. So what you
can do with moss and plants on a wall, which
is just one of their specialties. They do porch pots.
They've got some beautiful designs behind Allison here with a
knockout roads pumpkin de cor Yeah, Mackenzie told us about that.

Speaker 5 (01:38:00):
Decorate your porches, which is very cool.

Speaker 4 (01:38:03):
All right, So there's the floral bar. Is just opening
the floral bar? Oh yes, yes, No, it's just pooch,
you know, the floral bar. Yeah, the floral bar.

Speaker 3 (01:38:16):
It sounds like they're like you're there, like you could
get a bouquet.

Speaker 4 (01:38:19):
You can't you get it. It's probably a vintage of
nineteen ninety eight, vintage beautiful.

Speaker 6 (01:38:26):
I'm going to go over there. Types of moss that
they use, mood moss.

Speaker 5 (01:38:31):
Mood moss, okay, which gives a little attitude.

Speaker 3 (01:38:35):
Yeah, I wonder if it's uh, there's different kinds of mood.

Speaker 10 (01:38:38):
Moss, like when you touch it and you contested, like
a mood ring yeah like you Actually it's like it
turns yellow because you've got good energy, or black because
you're you know.

Speaker 4 (01:38:47):
Cold heart. Why did you really really hold back?

Speaker 10 (01:38:52):
I almost said something so wrong. Okay, sorry, okay, now
I'm done.

Speaker 4 (01:38:57):
Nobody in the mood for love? You know you got
I have you know where it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:01):
Is because we're in radio.

Speaker 6 (01:39:03):
So there's a mood, moss sheet, moss sounds, you know,
feather moss, feather moss. And this is one that we
saw a lot of reindeer moss.

Speaker 10 (01:39:13):
Oh what was that?

Speaker 4 (01:39:14):
Very popular describe.

Speaker 6 (01:39:15):
It just looks like a moss, but it's called reindeer moss.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
I'm not really sure why.

Speaker 10 (01:39:20):
Maybe the reindeer love it.

Speaker 4 (01:39:22):
That could be oh you mean to eat? That might
be we got a whole moss spell it b eli Okay,
well it could have been pole. I didn't he I
should have said moss.

Speaker 10 (01:39:37):
You know what's the moss that's growing in my backyard?
Is it reindeer moss?

Speaker 6 (01:39:42):
No? That is that is moss, that common moss that
comes when you don't have enough sunlight, right, I.

Speaker 10 (01:39:49):
Mean we have more in the back We have more
moss than we have grass.

Speaker 4 (01:39:52):
That means you don't have a whole lot of sunlight
back there, and I could sell it nature's way of
probably taking care of groundcover for you.

Speaker 10 (01:39:58):
I love it soft on my feet.

Speaker 6 (01:40:00):
You know how people you know a lot of times
should they try to age a piece of statuary by
having it covered with moss. So if you would take
that moss and then put it in the blender with
buttermilk and then you you paint it onto statuary.

Speaker 4 (01:40:16):
That's interesting. The lacto bacilla's from the milk are from
the You could use any sort of milk product and
that becomes a new food source for the mosses. It's
propagating and going around. That is really cool.

Speaker 5 (01:40:27):
So would oat milk work?

Speaker 3 (01:40:29):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:40:30):
No, shoot, I'm dairy free, so I have to Well,
you're not gonna, you're not gonna. This is for the
moss to go for them. Yeah, well, I just didn't
want to have to go and buy more milk. That's okay.

Speaker 5 (01:40:38):
I would do it for the moss.

Speaker 10 (01:40:40):
Yeah, okay, so all the milk. No, I'm thinking about
that a moss. So can I take that moss that's
in my backyard and dry it out and use it
in art? Or is that a whole different kind of moss.

Speaker 4 (01:40:51):
She was explaining that they treat it with a glycerine.

Speaker 3 (01:40:55):
That's a different moss. That's Indiana moss.

Speaker 10 (01:40:57):
That's it's useless.

Speaker 3 (01:40:59):
It's invasive.

Speaker 10 (01:41:00):
Oh I like it.

Speaker 6 (01:41:02):
So the only thing you can do that with is
mix it with buttermilk and painted on statuary.

Speaker 10 (01:41:07):
You know what people are doing with watermelon leaves right now,
because they have them, the big watermelon leaves they're taking.
They're putting them on a white T shirt and they're
putting a piece of like wax paper over the leaf
that you lay onto the shirt and then you hammer it.
You hammer the leaf. We don't guess you're hammering on
that wax paper. So it's hammering and it's staining the

(01:41:28):
shirt and the shape of a watermelon leaf which really
looks like lungs.

Speaker 11 (01:41:32):
Wow, that's cool. I've seen people do that with pansies
that were dying. Same thing with the color, but I
like the look. That's cool, the lung look. I think
we have a new craft corner could.

Speaker 6 (01:41:42):
Be Oh that would be fun, you know what, and
you could I would just let you do it.

Speaker 3 (01:41:46):
On my shirt.

Speaker 4 (01:41:47):
I love that idea?

Speaker 3 (01:41:50):
Is there an iron involved by chance.

Speaker 10 (01:41:52):
No ironing. We're just going to use a hammer or
a hashoe.

Speaker 4 (01:41:55):
How about a torch and wax? Hot wax?

Speaker 3 (01:41:58):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:41:59):
Yeah, have you seen all these guys that are starting
to do the hot wax treatments to remove chest hair
or back here?

Speaker 3 (01:42:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:42:06):
What what is that?

Speaker 4 (01:42:08):
Chi maney?

Speaker 3 (01:42:09):
Well, you know if you had back hair, you would
you would probably can you just shave it? You can?

Speaker 5 (01:42:14):
That would be really hard.

Speaker 6 (01:42:19):
Actually I don't have one because I really don't have
I have a little hair on my shoulders and stuff
that I could get to. But someone makes, uh a
razor with a long handle.

Speaker 4 (01:42:30):
What it looks like, agress?

Speaker 3 (01:42:32):
It looks like a.

Speaker 6 (01:42:34):
Like, uh, an ice scraper, an ice scraper for your car, Yeah,
except it's a razor.

Speaker 4 (01:42:39):
Thinkth it's back in studio and he had something to say, Ethan,
would you use something like a.

Speaker 14 (01:42:45):
Uh, just speaking from experience here, you know high school,
you think if you get a little chest hair before everybody,
you should get rid of it. And I don't advise
that it does come back very angry after you shave it.

Speaker 10 (01:42:59):
Is up to with you, so it comes back angry.

Speaker 4 (01:43:04):
Behind this, we're missing the story that's the best part.

Speaker 9 (01:43:08):
Yeah, and razor burn. It was hard to wear a shirt.

Speaker 3 (01:43:11):
Razor burn that it that it probably stings and stuff
when it comes.

Speaker 14 (01:43:14):
And then it came back and it was like two
dimes darker. And I was like, well, I don't know
who you brought back with you.

Speaker 15 (01:43:19):
But.

Speaker 4 (01:43:22):
Ethan, I think our phones are working. I'm looking. I'm
looking at things light up here. Yeah, don't ye. Don't
make mother Nate. Don't make Mother Nature mad with you.

Speaker 3 (01:43:32):
So hey, listen, Ethan. So you still have chest obviously.

Speaker 4 (01:43:36):
Yeah, he's on the phone right now.

Speaker 6 (01:43:38):
So what I was thinking, Uh, for the wedding, we
could like wax his chest.

Speaker 4 (01:43:44):
We could do that for the corner before the wedding.
Can do Heather's initials?

Speaker 10 (01:43:49):
No, I don't. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:43:50):

wax my chest one time.

Speaker 9 (01:44:05):
Uh, and we bought the cheap wax that.

Speaker 4 (01:44:09):

Speaker 3 (01:44:10):
No, we'll do it, we'll do it, will pay.

Speaker 6 (01:44:13):
For the do it for the wedding and we'll put
Heather's initials on your chest.

Speaker 3 (01:44:17):

What's wrong with what's wrong with that?

Speaker 10 (01:44:23):
Hair is out, body hair is out. It's really out.

I've got a whole family that's been waiting.

Speaker 3 (01:44:54):
Then, Yes, the darn things are back.

Speaker 11 (01:44:58):
I remember my grandma had one growing up, and that's
the only one I've ever seen. And then a couple
of years ago on my Facebook, a lot of friends
started posting that they're getting them back out.

Speaker 3 (01:45:06):
Dear lord, I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:45:08):
I had a client that made clothes for them, but
she would just go to you know, broage sales.

Probably made a mint, did very very well. First Wow,
while everybody was buying.

Speaker 6 (01:45:17):

Speaker 6 (01:45:28):
A right ninety three WYBC Hey, good morning, welcome back.
We today we are on the road. I'm gonna be
on the road for a few weeks in a row.
We are at nature Spire and Carmel, which is a
very very cool small business.

Speaker 3 (01:45:46):
It's a boutique, it is, but it's so much more.

Speaker 10 (01:45:50):
Oh, it's education, it's inspiring, it's beautiful things you don't
see everywhere.

Speaker 4 (01:45:55):
Nice Green has really just a cool spot.

Speaker 3 (01:45:59):
Yeah, Hi, Stephanie, Hi, you want to take a call
with us?

Speaker 6 (01:46:02):
Sure, I'd love to, all right, Jeff, it's probably not
about what you do, but it's okay, Hi Jeff, Hey,
what's up.

Speaker 3 (01:46:12):
So grat We're so glad the phone's phones are working again.

Speaker 13 (01:46:16):
Amen. You paid the bill.

Speaker 19 (01:46:17):
That's what I was going to say, you guys, You
guys got to keep your bill up on your bills. Now,
I know it usually happens like that. Oh it's a
busy signal. Yeah, there's a technical problem.

Speaker 16 (01:46:27):
No, just pay the bill.

Speaker 13 (01:46:29):
So anyway, Denny, welcome back, and Pat, I wanted to
ask Kerry, my daughter did let's see how the jam.

Speaker 9 (01:46:42):
The jam.

Speaker 10 (01:46:43):
I'm so glad you told you called, you asked me,
so I am going to say anyway, we all listen.
You could sell that stuff and make a fortune.

Speaker 4 (01:46:52):
She could sell it to jalapena strawberry?

Speaker 10 (01:46:55):
Was it caelopeniu strawberry?

Speaker 4 (01:46:57):
Hapberry?

Speaker 11 (01:46:58):
I had a raspberry and it was perfect and I'm
not a spicy person at all, and it was perfect
for me.

Speaker 5 (01:47:04):
So good, I mean it was so good and I
actually had to hide it from the rest of my.

Speaker 10 (01:47:07):
Favorite Please thank her for us again, please, because that's
a that's a homemade thing that you can't get every day,
and it's a treat.

Speaker 4 (01:47:14):
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (01:47:15):
I'll listen. The lemon cucumbers are amazing too, just like
last year.

Speaker 4 (01:47:19):
So good.

Speaker 19 (01:47:21):
No, it's okay, and we're not making a big thing
out of it. Just Christian wanted to know if you
shared it, because we forgot to say we kind of
heard you on the radio enjoying the excess, which was tremendous. Man,
I tried to eat my forty dollars with the trimp, right, okay.
And then and then since she was like, well, I
wonder if Allison got any I was like cherry sharing.

Speaker 4 (01:47:41):
She oh, she spreaded it around. I never saw any
I left one on the table for you, did you. Pat.

Speaker 19 (01:47:49):
It's probably afraid that it was going to be hot
and it was not hot.

Speaker 13 (01:47:53):
I gave you buy No was it at all?

Speaker 5 (01:47:55):
It was perfect and sweet.

Speaker 6 (01:47:56):
That would have scared me. It's probably in my truck
next to the cheeseball from Christmas.

Speaker 4 (01:48:00):
That's not a lie for lunch. Someone has such a
tender tummy. He's such a hard guy, but you know
he's got this tender tummy. If you want to, you
want to nail Pat, you don't have to hit him.
She's just spicy food.

Speaker 3 (01:48:12):
A psychiatrist says, it's you, Denny. Is it me? You're
causing acid reflux?

Speaker 4 (01:48:17):
The best thing ever happened. Well, thanks for calling, Sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:48:21):
So much, Thanks Jeff. All right, all right, see.

Speaker 10 (01:48:28):
Kristen. I always have to remember Kristen. She's she's the
one doing the cooking.

Speaker 3 (01:48:33):
Well, Stephanie joins us on the program.

Speaker 4 (01:48:36):
Be Stephanie, Hi, Hi, I'm back.

Speaker 3 (01:48:38):
Yeah there you are.

Speaker 12 (01:48:39):
It's pretty low.

Speaker 3 (01:48:40):
Such a good time.

Speaker 12 (01:48:41):
I know this is key compared to egg fast, isn't it?

Speaker 4 (01:48:43):
Did you change your shirt or something, or I took
my pink jacket off.

Speaker 10 (01:48:46):
Pink jacket, all yeah, I was too dressed up.

Speaker 12 (01:48:48):
Denny told me, I was on the radio.

Speaker 4 (01:48:49):
You know the camera points this way, and if you're
going to be on camera, you know you got to
wear pink nails, pink shoes.

Speaker 3 (01:48:56):
Penny's wearing one of his classics.

Speaker 6 (01:48:58):
Uh, this is uh, I did wear summer staff summer
gam tablecloth shirt.

Speaker 4 (01:49:05):
He calls my table cloth shirt a tables on him
and wouldn't it be great to have a summer picnic
with that?

Speaker 3 (01:49:15):
The throw that out? All right? Uh so what uh?
This is what's going on over here.

Speaker 18 (01:49:25):
So Linda is arm Yes, Linda is demoing how to
make moss art work. And she's got several different kinds
of mosses out there, some mood moss, some pole moss,
some reindeer moss, which is actually caribou food has grown
in Scandinavian some of the forests and reindeer eat it.

Speaker 3 (01:49:42):
So glad it's not terry was historian?

Speaker 12 (01:49:45):
Were we talking about that with Mackenzie? I guess how
the reindeer eat it, But you and pets can eat it.
You guys can eat it. It won't hurt you, but
I don't.

Speaker 10 (01:49:51):
Let's have some U.

Speaker 4 (01:49:53):
Let you try first, Terry. The only stuff they have
has been dipped in glaciering.

Speaker 12 (01:49:58):
That's right, the glit dip.

Speaker 4 (01:49:59):
That's true.

Speaker 12 (01:50:00):
But that christ you either because it's a non toxic.

Speaker 3 (01:50:02):
What's the what's the moss Lady's name again?

Speaker 12 (01:50:05):
Linda Martin?

Speaker 4 (01:50:06):
Hi, Linda, Yeah, Linda Martin.

Speaker 3 (01:50:07):
That's right. She used to work with us. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:50:09):
The radio she's in. The radio is a portable glue gun,
really portable glue gun. Carry and Allison are wait.

Speaker 10 (01:50:17):
A minute, it's portable.

Speaker 4 (01:50:19):
You mean you're like battery.

Speaker 12 (01:50:21):
Yeah, we can glue moss anywhere.

Speaker 7 (01:50:24):
I did.

Speaker 10 (01:50:25):
I didn't know it existed.

Speaker 4 (01:50:26):
I see a Christmas present in the future.

Speaker 10 (01:50:29):
Wow, it's battery her go to town?

Speaker 4 (01:50:32):
Bigger sticks are Oh yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:50:34):
Does that?

Speaker 3 (01:50:35):
Does that ever get too heavy with the battery in it?

Speaker 12 (01:50:38):
You know, she's got pretty strong hands now, so I
don't think she notices a does love.

Speaker 3 (01:50:43):
She's wearing a brace on both arms, so.

Speaker 4 (01:50:45):
Oh those are it's radio.

Speaker 10 (01:50:49):
Well.

Speaker 18 (01:50:49):
She just finished making a ten foot by thirty foot
moss wall for an interior residence.

Speaker 12 (01:50:54):
And that was a little bit of a work for wow,
So she had to take some breaks.

Speaker 6 (01:50:58):
So something that I mean, obviously you're doing it in sections.
How does that all work? Just one section at a time.

Speaker 18 (01:51:05):
And yeah, we kind of do it on a grid
where we design, create the design, get the approval from
the customer, get the deposit of course, and then we
create it like in sections based on how the.

Speaker 6 (01:51:15):
Grid was laid out, because you have to have a
good idea because that first section goes away and f
o Lenda us on in a bad mood. All of
a sudden you get all reindeer moss or something like that. Right,
it can be scary in time they put it, they
put it up and go, oh, what happened here?

Speaker 12 (01:51:30):
We keep it pretty happy, so that doesn't happen.

Speaker 4 (01:51:32):
It doesn't look like she has the attitude, all right.
So I had asked you earlier, and I think it's
important for people to know. We're in the neighborhood of
one hundred to one hundred and twenty five dollars a
square foot for these moss walls. But you will put
any type of moss in there that they ask for.

Speaker 18 (01:51:45):
Yeah, So we work very closely with the customer to
get their personal style and their taste and actually go
with the look of their home or their office whatever
it happens to be. And yeah, we can put most
any time, but we make sure we know we're putting
in there. We're disgusting it with a client. But you know,
you've got the moon mosses. We've got so many different
preserved plants, Like if you look at that picture on

(01:52:07):
the other side, we've got preserved ferns, We've got preserved ivs,
preserved flowers, and probably about ten or fifteen, maybe twenty
different kinds of mosses.

Speaker 6 (01:52:16):
You know, what's your favorite moss? So I see mood moss,
sheet moss, feather moss, reindeer moss.

Speaker 12 (01:52:22):
I love the mood moss because yes, it is like him.

Speaker 4 (01:52:25):
Yeah, very good.

Speaker 12 (01:52:26):
It says it on your Oh yeah, if you didn't
know if by a filling design is I.

Speaker 6 (01:52:33):
Shouldn't be there, you should you should just be lucky lucky.
I could pronounce that all right. So mood moss.

Speaker 18 (01:52:40):
Yeah, like mood moss because I think it's a really green, soft,
velvety look.

Speaker 12 (01:52:45):
And I think it adds a really plush.

Speaker 3 (01:52:47):
What are you choosing right there on that he's got.

Speaker 12 (01:52:50):
Pull moss, mood moss, feather moss, and reindeer.

Speaker 3 (01:52:52):
It's the lighter one, the lighter green.

Speaker 18 (01:52:54):
The lighter one is the reindeer moss. And then actually
the one that's on the photo or the the display.

Speaker 12 (01:53:01):
Is pole moss.

Speaker 4 (01:53:02):
And the one that's in the plastic container off to
the left, well that's.

Speaker 10 (01:53:05):
Reindeer moss, almost like a MINTI green like a yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:53:09):
And the reindeer moss actually comes in probably twenty different colors.
You can get reds, blues, purple.

Speaker 4 (01:53:14):
You're smiling. You really enjoy doing this, don't you.

Speaker 3 (01:53:17):
I really do.

Speaker 18 (01:53:18):
I created the best business and I have so much
fun working with people coming up with designs, making their
landscapes beautiful.

Speaker 12 (01:53:26):
And at the end of the day, they're almost one
hundred percent happy.

Speaker 4 (01:53:29):
And there's just unique stuff.

Speaker 12 (01:53:32):
If there's a one here and there, then we fix anything.

Speaker 6 (01:53:35):
So have you gotten to the point where somebody has
had one long enough where they're just come in, Hey,
could you just kind of rejuvenate it.

Speaker 3 (01:53:41):
A little bit?

Speaker 12 (01:53:41):
Yeah, we'll touch it up for them.

Speaker 18 (01:53:43):
I mean it's I feel like it's our responsibility to
keep it looking nice, and you know, we want them
to be happy with it. For a long long time,
twenty three years. I mean it'll last longer than they
do really, But you don't.

Speaker 6 (01:53:54):
Take it like a leaf blower in the in the
office building and blow them off at all, kind of
knock the dust off of them like that.

Speaker 18 (01:54:00):
No, we've only had to do that in one place.
It's because it's hanging under lights and you've got all
that dust floating around. But we've haven't had a lot
of dust problems at all, which is really really nice.

Speaker 10 (01:54:08):
Is here You do them for the outdoors as well, right, No, No,
we can only.

Speaker 18 (01:54:13):
Do them outdoors if it's under a like a cover,
like a porch or something like that. But for the
most part you'll get snow and rain on it and
it'll probably ruin the design.

Speaker 10 (01:54:22):
So it's not so you just do seasonally where you'd
put something outside seasonally.

Speaker 12 (01:54:26):
For this too if you wanted to, but I don't
recommend it.

Speaker 18 (01:54:28):
Okay, we have done a couple on back porches and
they look really nice and they've been fine.

Speaker 10 (01:54:32):
That's where I've seen some of them, this wall, not
necessarily just the moss, but putting them on walls. At
the Flaring Patio Show this past spring, it was a
pretty big deal, and I wondered what it would do
to the back, Like if that was a real deal
that you've got here, if you're putting it on let's
say a side of a garage or house, what it
does to the back of the you know where it's
laying against the wall. Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:54:54):
I just don't recommended doing these kind of designs outside.
Really you want to go the artificial. And we have
a lot of ar artificial like green walls too, some
are really pretty more artificial.

Speaker 4 (01:55:04):
We were looking at so real quick.

Speaker 6 (01:55:07):
When you're doing a living wall inside, so what is
the base? How does that all come together?

Speaker 18 (01:55:14):
So living wall basically you're on your dry wall or
we asked contractors to put marine grade ply with before
we even start to go in, and then we put
waterproofing on it a Polyyrhea or a Taiek or something
like that to prevent the water from going into the wall.

Speaker 12 (01:55:30):
And then we put these trays or whatever. System.

Speaker 18 (01:55:32):
We have like probably six or seven systems that we use,
and I like to use a system that best fits
the person's bouge it and the situation that they're in.
Like the fifteen foot wall we did at Corteva We
had to use trays because if you're getting up fifteen feet,
you're going to have to be able to get those
plants out pretty easily. So we went with a tray
system there, and there's a Felt. There's so many different

(01:55:54):
kinds of.

Speaker 3 (01:55:54):
Systems, so is then everything pot it that just stays in.

Speaker 12 (01:55:57):
Its podd so they're potted.

Speaker 18 (01:55:58):
But we also have the felt system, which is what
we did at three up, and that was more of
a custom physic system because we could reach everything and
it was outdoors and we wanted to last as long
as possible, so it really is everything's custom.

Speaker 4 (01:56:10):
We look, can you hang with us just a little
bit more.

Speaker 6 (01:56:12):
We got to pay bills, so we've got to come
right back with more from Nature Spire and Carmel ninety
three WIBC.

Speaker 3 (01:56:20):
Hey, good morning, welcome back.

Speaker 6 (01:56:22):
We have our number four coming up, but we have
Stephanie from Nature Spire still with us.

Speaker 3 (01:56:28):
Thanks for your hospitality, it's great.

Speaker 4 (01:56:30):
Thanks here.

Speaker 3 (01:56:30):
You have lunch for us.

Speaker 18 (01:56:31):
Yeah, make sure you grab your free lunch and anybody
who comes by now until the end of the day
we'll have some free food and drink.

Speaker 3 (01:56:36):
And then you're actually going to draw your grand prizes
at the end of the.

Speaker 12 (01:56:40):
Day at four o'clock. I was misinformed, so I live.

Speaker 4 (01:56:43):
I should have asked your kid, all right now, patt,
is that's going to hold up one of these growing trays.
Hold it up for the camera there, Patty. Oh yeah,
So explain what this is and how it interlocks.

Speaker 18 (01:56:53):
So this happens to be a three pot tray. So
you put your little nursery pod in that you get
at Alisonville Nursery, and you stick it on your tray
and then you water it. And there's a drain down
below that takes all the water to every tray below
until you get to the end where you have a stopper.

Speaker 12 (01:57:08):
So it's like a irrigated from the top.

Speaker 13 (01:57:12):
Cool.

Speaker 12 (01:57:13):
I mean you water it maybe once or twice a week.

Speaker 3 (01:57:15):
So how wide do these? So this is a three yeah?

Speaker 18 (01:57:18):
So the pot trays two pot trays and three pot trays,
so you can go as wide as you want and
calculate them.

Speaker 12 (01:57:24):
Bet them next to each other, bet them on top,
and bet them across you.

Speaker 4 (01:57:28):
You are very thrifty. I noticed that your air conditioner
commensate hose goes into a rain bear.

Speaker 12 (01:57:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:57:34):
I have never seen I've been in the h VEC
business for all these years. That's a genius.

Speaker 18 (01:57:38):
So you well, we have to get water in there,
and when it gets cold, and we don't want to
go all the way from the fossa because the old
house is built nineteen forties, so the foss is only
one faucet, and I'm like, how going to get from
there to hear and not freeze to death.

Speaker 12 (01:57:51):
I'm like, oh, we'll just use the conversation host.

Speaker 4 (01:57:53):
That's really good. Well, thanks for thanks for the ind
I good to see you. We will try to get
you back next hour too.

Speaker 6 (01:58:00):
And then the putting putting green out there, your daughter
said that was just from a long long ago.

Speaker 3 (01:58:05):
It still looks great.

Speaker 18 (01:58:06):
Yeah, it looks great. It's probably about eight years old now.
And we do putting greens, we do artificial turf, and
actually we do everything that involves nature.

Speaker 3 (01:58:12):
You're uh, your daughter pretty much says you don't say no.

Speaker 12 (01:58:16):
I'm very bad at saying.

Speaker 6 (01:58:17):
Now there you go, yes girl, all right, our number
four is coming up right here on ninety three WIBC.

Speaker 1 (01:58:32):
Were some loops, see that grown up men, the stew
just little boys. That really the only difference is the
price of our calls. We go for macho symbols like guns,
running shoes, pickup trucks on ducks, and power dudes.

Speaker 7 (01:58:52):
Power dudes.

Speaker 3 (01:58:53):
Take good afternoon.

Speaker 6 (01:58:56):
It's Saturday, Toman Garden Program, Diruction part by the Michelis Corporation, Storms,
fire and wet basements. Life happens, as Shyliss happens to
help you through it. We are here at a fun,
fun little place right here in Carmel on Rangeline Road
for twenty one.

Speaker 4 (01:59:11):
South Nature Spire.

Speaker 3 (01:59:13):
Nature Spire, And what are they? No one knows.

Speaker 6 (01:59:18):
It's living walls of moss, real plants, it's house plants.

Speaker 4 (01:59:23):
She says. She can't say no, she'll do design work,
she'll do plant work, artificial stuff. But she's going to
be doing something at the New Weston.

Speaker 3 (01:59:32):
Are those fresh cut USh showers? Are those flow?

Speaker 4 (01:59:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:59:35):
They also have a flower bar or it's called the
bouquet Barque bar, so you can come up and pick
a different couple different flowers and make your own little que.
And they also do have some wine tasting and we
do have giveaways, I think all today. They're open till
four today and then going to draw for a grand prize.

Speaker 6 (01:59:50):
Right, so we're out of here at one, but trust me,
the fun goes on here. Oh yeah, right now we're
having Jimmy John.

Speaker 4 (01:59:56):
Yeah we are.

Speaker 5 (01:59:57):
That's why we're all kind of a little more quiet
because you're all.

Speaker 6 (02:00:00):
And Ethan is back on our studio on Monument Circle.
Hi Ethan, Hey guys, we missed you. Are you and
that you and Jared getting along?

Speaker 3 (02:00:11):
Okay?

Speaker 10 (02:00:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (02:00:12):
I'm alone soldier now though?

Speaker 3 (02:00:14):
So did he leave?

Speaker 21 (02:00:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:00:18):
Since we got you. You're three weeks away from your
wedding day? Are you ready?

Speaker 9 (02:00:22):
Born? Ready?

Speaker 4 (02:00:24):
Oh boy? That's what Roy Rogers always said to Dale Evans.
She would say are you ready, Roy? And he'd say,
I'm born ready.

Speaker 3 (02:00:31):
Do you have a honeymoon plan?

Speaker 14 (02:00:33):
No, we are saving it for after the wedding when
we don't have anything to look forward to, and then
we're going to plan it and then be able to
look forward to doing it the following.

Speaker 4 (02:00:42):
Yeah, that's really smart.

Speaker 3 (02:00:45):
I would suggest something.

Speaker 6 (02:00:48):
You know, sometimes I think people, you know, kids that
are newly what they take stressful trips, you know, like
you know, we're going to backpack across.

Speaker 5 (02:00:59):
Europe and sure there's more adventury.

Speaker 6 (02:01:03):
Yeah, and they can be a little there can be
a lot of planning and a lot of little stress
when you know it makes foreign country.

Speaker 4 (02:01:09):
Yep, where did you did? Where'd you guys go for
your honeymoons?

Speaker 3 (02:01:12):
I went to Hilton Head.

Speaker 4 (02:01:15):
Oh that's nice.

Speaker 6 (02:01:16):
We drove the hilton Head It was just laid back September,
kind off season, and had a great time.

Speaker 4 (02:01:22):
My dad had a really good friend of very wealthy man.
I said, uncle, Link, where's your favorite place in the
world to go to? He said, Bermuda. So I scheduled playing.
We flew out of Boston.

Speaker 3 (02:01:32):
We went to.

Speaker 4 (02:01:32):
Bermuda in April and it was freezing cold. Jane took
all this warm weather stuff. We froze our butts off
because I didn't you know Bermuda. I just thought it
was like the Bahamas. Oh no, wow, And we froze
to death.

Speaker 6 (02:01:44):
And they're right there on the honeymoon. Jane realized what
the rest of her life was going to be like.

Speaker 4 (02:01:49):
Well, I thought, you know, I was trying to impress
her a little bit. But anyway, she forgave me.

Speaker 3 (02:01:53):
Yeah, she forgave me. You guys want to talk to Fulton.

Speaker 4 (02:01:55):
No, of course, Fulton's been waiting for three hours.

Speaker 3 (02:02:00):
Uh, folding up all right, Hey, are we still on

her chair and she bumped it. It fell back.

Speaker 6 (02:04:42):
So, uh, Fulton, I have a plan for uh for
our radiothon in December. Okay, So I was thinking if
we because you played the ukulele, uh huh, And we
have a group called the Uku Ladies, and I thought
maybe you could front be the front man for the

(02:05:04):
Ukulades and you could sing and play while they played
back up on their ukuldes ukuleles.

Speaker 4 (02:05:11):
Okay, you the Ukuladies.

Speaker 3 (02:05:13):
Wouldn't that be fun?

Speaker 6 (02:05:14):
All right, we're going to get to work, all right,
We'll get to we'll get to work on that and
see if we can make that happen, all right, and
then we'll have to pick a song for you to
uh to practice.

Speaker 13 (02:05:25):
Yep, Well what dig would that be?

Speaker 19 (02:05:27):
Dino?

Speaker 13 (02:05:28):
You?

Speaker 4 (02:07:07):
Follow Okay, so I'll warm up my kazoo.

Speaker 3 (02:07:11):
So what do you guys think of? So I told
you about. We've had the Yuka ladies on.

Speaker 10 (02:07:18):
We love them.

Speaker 3 (02:07:19):
But what would you think about the accordion ladies.

Speaker 10 (02:07:23):
I can't find them. I've looked for them. I swear
to you.

Speaker 3 (02:07:26):
I have, I have the have the contact sign me up. Yes,
I like it? You do you play the No?

Speaker 4 (02:07:31):
But I would learn if you guys, accordion is a
neat instrument. It's called a button box overseas in Lithuania
and all the you know, Eastern European countries. It's a
really neat instrument. They have great, big festivals for these things.
I know, but wheezeboxes.

Speaker 10 (02:07:45):
It's the squeeze box.

Speaker 3 (02:07:48):
Did this come? I mean, is this an Eastern block thing?

Speaker 4 (02:07:51):
Is that?

Speaker 15 (02:07:51):
Why?

Speaker 4 (02:07:52):
The accordion? When I was why a big instrument? Kids
would go down to Wilkie Music Company on on North
Pennsylvania and they if they would take lessons, they would
have concerts, they would have you know, it was a
big deal.

Speaker 3 (02:08:05):
It seems like a miserable instrument.

Speaker 4 (02:08:07):
Would you say that to Lawrence?

Speaker 13 (02:08:09):
Well?

Speaker 3 (02:08:09):
No, not to Lawrence.

Speaker 4 (02:08:11):
Okay, Well Lawrence was an accordion player that.

Speaker 10 (02:08:14):
You Here's the thing. An accordion at any party is
a hit you come in with an accordion. I mean
you come in and you're like, oh my gosh, it's
got like an oompot to it, Like you instantly go
polka and you're and you can do anything with accordions.

(02:08:34):
And you know when you hold them, they're they're moving
and and you're squeezing and and the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (02:08:39):
And it looks complicated to me.

Speaker 10 (02:08:41):
Yeah, but we don't. We don't have to worry about it.
We just have to love it.

Speaker 4 (02:08:44):
I'll tell you what. If anybody out there is aware
of an accordion group or people who play the habit,
reach out to me at Denny at WIBC and I
will pass it on to Pat.

with a teenager sleeping, or house.

Speaker 12 (02:11:19):
It's nut.

Speaker 3 (02:11:20):
But I just walked into it to the back. It's
not somebody's house. It used to be used to be.

Speaker 6 (02:11:25):
And but we walked onto a patio and there's a
guy sitting there. It's like it's part of the business
it was.

Speaker 4 (02:11:32):
So that's how nice and comfortable it is here. It
is yourself and home.

Speaker 3 (02:11:36):
There you go. We're coming right back with more. Ninety
three WIBC.

Speaker 6 (02:11:43):
Hey, good afternoon, Welcome, Pat Sullivan, Denny Smith, Terry, Stacey
is here, Allison is here, Stu is running the Vordon
Ethan is back in our studio Monument Circle and AA
Ron joins us on the program.

Speaker 16 (02:11:58):
A Ron Dune mess Up.

Speaker 4 (02:12:00):
How y'all are we're going good? What's going on?

Speaker 16 (02:12:05):
Well, hey, just a slide note. There's a group out
there called the Dear Polecat that does accordion music and
they are the bomb dude.

Speaker 3 (02:12:17):
Really.

Speaker 4 (02:12:17):
They played at Cool Creek Park and uh, they do
get out and about I know who that I know
the group you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (02:12:23):
Is it a full orchestra or.

Speaker 16 (02:12:25):
Is it just it's well, it's like an orchestra, but
it's more of just a like a little band. I
know one of the players in it. And uh, they
do a phenomenal job. So if you're looking for some
good accordion music outside or wherever, you know, they do
the rad scaler and all that kind of thing. And

(02:12:46):
it's really the.

Speaker 4 (02:12:47):
Polecats there, the e R Poolcat.

Speaker 3 (02:12:52):
A A t Z there Poolcats. Well, thank you, it's awesome.

Speaker 16 (02:12:57):
You're welcome. Now my question for you guys, guys, we've
been waiting on and Arborous to come out and trim
in our provide that's closed to our driveway and a
red bud that's closed to our driveway that interferes with
the backup sensors in our cars. And he either is

(02:13:22):
incommunicado or whatever and I was seeing if you guys
had any recommendations for somebody that could come out and
look at it, because I know our provieties are a
little bit difficult to deal with.

Speaker 3 (02:13:37):
Yeah, I mean yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:13:39):
The main thing with Oarbord bodies who when you trim them,
I mean you can't take them past the veneer or
they don't come back.

Speaker 3 (02:13:46):
You'll end up with a hole.

Speaker 19 (02:13:48):
Right, So.

Speaker 3 (02:13:50):
You but you just want somebody to trim him out
of the way.

Speaker 13 (02:13:53):
Is that the deal right?

Speaker 6 (02:13:55):
Right?

Speaker 16 (02:13:55):
Exactly, so that when we're backing out of the driveway,
we don't have you know, because what will happen is
with these new cars and I've got two Nissan Sentras,
it'll jam on the reverse brakes because the things are
going to hit something, you know.

Speaker 6 (02:14:14):
I had that happen last night at Britian Hills. We
were going to a rehearsal dinner and I was pulling
into a space and the car slammed. I thought I
hit like a parking block or something. No, it was
the it sense the shrub that was in front of
me exactly scared.

Speaker 16 (02:14:34):
Me a little bit and it's uh, you know, and
if you let it go, you can continue on. But
it seems like it would be undue wear and tear
on your brake system when all you need to do
is like have somebody come turn it out and be
done with it.

Speaker 3 (02:14:53):
Okay, So who I think any.

Speaker 6 (02:14:58):
Shundown garden would be a good one that they do
all the they term all of our stuff at our house.

Speaker 4 (02:15:03):
They I don't think you need an arboris to do this.

Speaker 3 (02:15:05):
I don't either. I think you need a headshare.

Speaker 13 (02:15:10):
I go.

Speaker 4 (02:15:10):
They don't be bashful.

Speaker 13 (02:15:11):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (02:15:12):
You know, arms are pretty tough as long as you
keep them watered. Yeah, so you should be able to
do this, but if you get.

Speaker 3 (02:15:19):
The shape, but you can.

Speaker 6 (02:15:20):
But certainly somebody like I think even our crew over
at Allisonville could do that. So you could call Allisonville
and we do, you know, shrub trimming and stuff like that,
but Sundown as well could do it. So, hey, thanks
for the call. We appreciate it. Our number two three
nine ninety three ninety three. Where are we in the program?

Speaker 4 (02:15:40):
Well, I want to find Stephanie again because I want
to talk about our commercial business. This is a beautiful
thing that you can be done. These moss walls and
these living plant walls and everything a lot of businesses
want their you know, entrance area. They're there were the
reception area where people come in. It's a beautiful way
to do it. And whether it's a poor pod or

(02:16:00):
whether it's a wall thing. I saw Alison or Terry
taking a picture of this five by five wall says
lived a plant or plant to live it just it's
a gorgeous striking piece and it lives forever.

Speaker 6 (02:16:13):
I mean, and I can get the moss thing because
it's so much easier, right, But I think I would
love I mean, I think a living wall would be
really cool. But I know that's not what they're the
main part of it is because she said they do
mostly moss.

Speaker 4 (02:16:28):
I think that's going to be main.

Speaker 11 (02:16:29):
I think people do mostly moss because they don't want
to take care of it. But they definitely do the
living walls, and I am I'm with you. I think
they're very cool. She's talking about how a lot of
people doing their back patios under like like their yawnings
and stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:16:41):
Yeah, oh my god, protect it.

Speaker 5 (02:16:42):
Yeah that's protected, and that's gorgeous.

Speaker 6 (02:16:45):
I love that little tray that has the drink because
I always wonder it's like, well, you spray them, I
mean miss them.

Speaker 3 (02:16:50):
I mean no, you actually can water.

Speaker 5 (02:16:52):
Like a little irrigation system.

Speaker 6 (02:16:53):
Yeah, and it just drains all the way down to
the last pod. They are seven inches space between them.

Speaker 4 (02:17:01):
This is a this is a three buy. They have
a two buy and they have an eight buy. So
if you want some a couple of striking things within it,
even your own entryway, this would really be a hit.
And look at the plumbing on this path. It's really
pretty good. That keep them. If you if you let
this thing go crazy and you don't allow away for
the water to get away, oh my gosh, you're gonna
have a humidity nightmare within whatever.

Speaker 6 (02:17:22):
Really think I would just put it, you know, high
on the wall and just stick the tube out the window.

Speaker 4 (02:17:28):
That's my buddy, Pat. Yeah, I know that's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (02:17:30):
Hey, Beth, guess what we're getting for the bedroom. We're
gonna have a living wall.

Speaker 4 (02:17:35):
Talk about antique fire trucks. That just drove by, and
I see you see everything in Carmel, don't you? How
abouts so cute? Where did he come from?

Speaker 3 (02:17:43):
He came from the arts district. Oh it's fake.

Speaker 10 (02:17:46):
There's a big car show today. Car truck. Uh, the
vehicle show here. I was told just beyond that wherever
he's had it, maybe he's just leaving it.

Speaker 4 (02:17:54):
We are at four to twenty one South Range Line Road,
right at Elm Street and the Arts and Design What
is it say Arts and Design District up there on
the thing? I'm not supposed to say artsy FARTSI so,
but we're in the Arts district of Carmel. And where
is little place?

Speaker 3 (02:18:08):
Where's the Ace Hardware? Is it just down that way?
Did or did I already pass it?

Speaker 4 (02:18:11):
I don't remember. I think the ACE is south of us.

Speaker 6 (02:18:14):
Steve White has one of his stores up here. I
think I'll buzz the parking lot and maybe rip some
mulch bags open.

Speaker 4 (02:18:20):
Is that right? Yeah, you're so funny.

Speaker 3 (02:18:23):
We're kidding.

Speaker 4 (02:18:23):
We're friends, Yeah, used to be. So that's a that's
a tough gig being a Pat Sullivan friend. That means
you don't get your phone calls returned, They ignore your
text messages until three days later. And he says, did
I get back with you on this?

Speaker 6 (02:18:39):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (02:18:40):
Listen, I was.

Speaker 6 (02:18:41):
I'm ordering Christmas trees right now, the fresh cut, We've
we've all of the artificials we order in before we
have to order the Christmas trees before we sell, like
we order them in December. So those we've been dealing
there and luckily they're all in. We have two more
contained in Los Angeles. I think that'll head this way.

(02:19:03):
But just that there in the United States, I mean,
the last few years, oh man, it has been do you.

Speaker 4 (02:19:10):
Have the app on your phone where you can track
your ship? Because when we get gyroplane parts, they don't
ship those by air. They sheep ship them by boat
and they'll tell you what boat they're on. And so
here you are tracking. All you want is this deflector
you want this muffler assylunce and.

Speaker 3 (02:19:23):
You can do it.

Speaker 4 (02:19:23):
You could track them all.

Speaker 6 (02:19:24):
You can track them, you can run them live. And
I remember laying in bed it was that. It was
the animation for the train and it was coming into
New York. It was coming from Europe. Yeah, and I'm
watching the ship actually just move along, and they and
finally got to doc as.

Speaker 4 (02:19:39):
Got they're here.

Speaker 10 (02:19:40):
They're here, And then isn't that what the pirates want?
But the pirates all wanted to have your your stuff
on those shipping containers.

Speaker 3 (02:19:46):
Is that right?

Speaker 4 (02:19:47):
Pirates?

Speaker 6 (02:19:49):
What the pirates want pirates wanted the whole ship, and
then they held the ship for ransom.

Speaker 4 (02:19:55):
Wow, the whole ship. Yeah, I remember watching the boat
come in. And then the next day it was during
an election or something, and they called the the strike,
you know, for the ports longshoreman long shorman strike. I
got crapped. I thought, here, I got it all the
way across the ocean. It took, you know, a couple
of weeks to get it on the boat, and it
finally gets over here, and then there's a long shoreman strike,

(02:20:16):
and I'm going, I know.

Speaker 3 (02:20:18):
And then sometimes they they get thrown in a yard
and they have to get released. It takes.

Speaker 6 (02:20:23):
It's just it's a nightmare. We're kind of quite honestly.
The countries were a little bit held hostage by.

Speaker 4 (02:20:29):
And they're not reunions, and they're not even run by
American companies. A lot of the long shoremen or or
union against a foreign company that is managing the ports

Speaker 3 (02:21:28):
And Stephan, did you read that?

Speaker 4 (02:21:29):
Did you read that tagline when he designs inspired by nature?
I wrote it.

Speaker 3 (02:21:33):
I want to hear in your radio voice.

Speaker 4 (02:21:35):
Nature Spire designs inspired by nature.

Speaker 3 (02:21:39):
That sounded like you do it?

Speaker 4 (02:21:42):
Am?

Speaker 3 (02:21:42):
I doing it right on the on the front side.

Speaker 10 (02:21:44):
Nature lower right, Nature Spire designed inspired by nature. Oh
that's not what it says, though, When is the designs
inspired by nature?

Speaker 3 (02:21:55):
All right?

Speaker 4 (02:21:56):
There you go, Allison, Come on, Alison, do you represent
your whole generation?

Speaker 5 (02:22:00):
Nature Spire designs inspired by nature?

Speaker 12 (02:22:04):
Well said?

Speaker 4 (02:22:05):
I think Allison's got it. I enjoyed it.

Speaker 12 (02:22:07):
I think Allison's on a pretty dark gut. Got my
daughter's age and they kind of get that.

Speaker 4 (02:22:12):
Yeah, Ai, we have been the guests of Stephanie Carlson
in our wonderful business Nature Spire, which designs living walls,
designs moss walls and everything. And we were just beginning
to talk about your commercial business. Tell us some of
these projects that you're bidding on are soon to be,
you know, part of your business.

Speaker 12 (02:22:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (02:22:30):
So we don't only do plants and plant shops and
small jobs. We also get involved with very large jobs.
One of the ones we did in twenty nineteen right
before COVID was the rail yard apartments. Here we did
the rooftop amenity areas with the irrigation, the pavers, the pedestals.

Speaker 12 (02:22:46):
The turf and the plants.

Speaker 4 (02:22:48):
So if you count them, do you have your plumbing license?

Speaker 12 (02:22:50):
No, that's why I have you got me?

Speaker 18 (02:22:54):
So anyways, we did that and then we went on
to do the the Pacers Plaza. So if anybody's been
down at the Bisontennaal Unity Plaza, we did all the plantings,
all the soil, all the turf there.

Speaker 12 (02:23:06):
So it's been really fun. That was a wonderful part.

Speaker 4 (02:23:08):
Now you have your own special soil. Tell me about this.
I don't know what type of soil you've got, but
you're pretty sure you're out of it's special soil.

Speaker 18 (02:23:16):
Well, we actually use soil like that's specified by the
architects for the specific job, and then we have it
mixed and delivered on these huge trucks and then placed
in the area that the architect wants it.

Speaker 12 (02:23:29):
So we have special soil for green roofs, which is
lightweight permeple soil.

Speaker 3 (02:23:33):
I was just going to say light weight weight.

Speaker 18 (02:23:36):
Yeah, but you know greenwers have concrete on them sometimes,
so it's kind of like it's the.

Speaker 12 (02:23:41):
Soil heavier, the concrete heavier.

Speaker 18 (02:23:43):
Sure, so, yeah, So we use some special soils just
to make keep the weight and keep the moisture into
with pearlite and some other organic matter kind of mixed.

Speaker 4 (02:23:53):
In miculite pearlite. All then, pretty cool? All right, So
you've got a new one. You said you just finished
bidding on one. Did you get the bid?

Speaker 18 (02:24:00):
Well, I guess we'll have to wait and see, but
we are bidding on the western green roof, so hopefully
we will see what happens with that.

Speaker 12 (02:24:06):
But it will be our honor to be able to
work on that project.

Speaker 4 (02:24:09):
I love it that you go out and knock on doors.
That's the hardest thing for a business to do. If
your retail you wait for people to come to you, you're.

Speaker 7 (02:24:17):
Not that good.

Speaker 3 (02:24:17):
But you're pretty aggressive.

Speaker 4 (02:24:18):
As far as that, she's not aggressive, If she's forward, well,
I don't mean.

Speaker 3 (02:24:21):
I don't mean that in a bad way.

Speaker 6 (02:24:23):
No.

Speaker 12 (02:24:23):
I like to talk to people and I like to
share what we're doing.

Speaker 18 (02:24:25):
I think what we're doing is really amazing and cool.
And you know, we had the opportunity to bigger jobs.
We could be a small little plant shop we wanted to,
but now we can reach more people with small plants
and we can do the big jobs where we're really
doing something really beneficial to the You know.

Speaker 4 (02:24:42):
I hope there's your aggressivior forward, but I hope there's
no hard feelings about the time I ran you out
of the barn with the twelve gage. I didn't know
who you were and I really didn't know what you're doing.
But I hope you forgive me for that.

Speaker 12 (02:24:52):
No, that's okay, come to my barn next time.

Speaker 4 (02:24:54):
Yeah, no, not without notice.

Speaker 6 (02:24:57):
So do you in the world of does does AI
fit into your business in any way, or do you
want it to.

Speaker 3 (02:25:04):
Fit into your business?

Speaker 12 (02:25:06):
It will.

Speaker 18 (02:25:06):
It's starting to fit into my business quite a bit.
Not with bidding, you always have to use your head
for those numbers, but with marketing and writing.

Speaker 12 (02:25:14):
And I'm a writer, okay, so AI to me seems
like a big cheat. But now it's kind of.

Speaker 4 (02:25:20):
Starting to line. It's a time saver. No, no, steph,
it's a time saver. I'm a writer too, but it's
a time saver and will and it allows you to
have somebody else proof freed your work and say give
me some pointers.

Speaker 12 (02:25:30):
Right, And I still write it in the end, right
because I have to resetweet it.

Speaker 5 (02:25:33):
We get personal touch.

Speaker 4 (02:25:35):
Now, you were a writer for Ted Turner for CNN,
back when he was normal Ted, not when he was
crazy Ted and before Jane Fonda or whatever. Tell me
what you did there? Oh my god?

Speaker 3 (02:25:45):
That wrote well she wrote, but you know she used
in her own brain.

Speaker 18 (02:25:48):
They used to have this really great program for college
graduates called the Video Journalists, call it our Video Journalist Program.
So they'd take young graduates from colleges all over the
place who happened to apply.

Speaker 12 (02:26:00):
And have cable. So I didn't know what seen him
was it just sounded cool when like, oh that sounds
cool because I don't let's work there. It's in Atlanta,
it's warm. But it was a really cool program.

Speaker 18 (02:26:10):
I think they were probably twenty of us in each class,
video journalists from all over like literally can't I mean
you name it every college. So you met a lot
of people instantly that were twenty twenty two years old. Wow,
plunked into Atlanta working at this big news station that
everydy called Chicken Noodle Note Network at the time.

Speaker 12 (02:26:27):
But look where it's not.

Speaker 4 (02:26:28):
People said that Ted Turner really was a likable guy.

Speaker 3 (02:26:31):
What did you think of Tidy?

Speaker 12 (02:26:32):
Is a likable guy?

Speaker 15 (02:26:33):
He was?

Speaker 4 (02:26:33):
So why did he marry Jane Fonda?

Speaker 3 (02:26:35):
How we stop?

Speaker 10 (02:26:36):
I don't know that she talked to him about that.

Speaker 12 (02:26:38):
Yeah, no, we didn't discuss that. So we were He
was usually wondering if I was covering the news and
missing any stories?

Speaker 10 (02:26:44):
Did you really learn anything from him?

Speaker 18 (02:26:46):
Though not necessarily from him, but all the people that
he hired to run the newsroom.

Speaker 12 (02:26:50):
There are some pretty smart people back then. I don't
know what they're like today, but I hear a lot
of complaints, you know, Sorry, CNN.

Speaker 10 (02:26:56):
You've got to have journalism, right.

Speaker 12 (02:26:58):
News has changed a lot.

Speaker 3 (02:26:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (02:26:59):
I have four kids, and so it didn't really fit
my schedule because I want to spend time with the kids.

Speaker 12 (02:27:04):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I was telling you earlier that
when the kids grew up and went to college and
left me, I was like, I want another baby, but
I'm too old. Okay, I'll start a business.

Speaker 4 (02:27:14):
So so nature was born. Same thing is infancy.

Speaker 18 (02:27:19):
Yeah, and we're kind of I think teenagers right now.
So we're hoping to mature in the next few years
and really do a lot more cool jobs and really
bring nature.

Speaker 4 (02:27:28):
What's the best way for people to contact you? Do
you like it to come through their website? Do you
like phone calls?

Speaker 3 (02:27:32):
What do you want?

Speaker 12 (02:27:33):
Anyway they can find us?

Speaker 4 (02:27:34):
Anyway they can find it, but come to the shop.

Speaker 3 (02:27:35):
What's your favorite restaurant?

Speaker 4 (02:27:36):
Carmel A good question. I don't like Coastal, but you
know what, we just go to Coastal.

Speaker 3 (02:27:41):
If you want to see her on Friday.

Speaker 15 (02:27:43):
We just very good.

Speaker 18 (02:27:44):
Yeah, we did get some greenery and matadors. So Matator
is gonna be a nice new restaurant in this area.

Speaker 10 (02:27:49):
I think it's not open yet.

Speaker 12 (02:27:50):
Nope, it's opening probably in the next week or so.

Speaker 10 (02:27:52):
Okay, so wow, we were just talking.

Speaker 4 (02:27:56):
I got to change.

Speaker 12 (02:27:57):
I got to say three up to the rooftop bar
because we've got some greenery up there.

Speaker 4 (02:28:00):
Yeah. I know you're a good friend of Scott Willis,
the mayor of Westfield.

Speaker 3 (02:28:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:28:04):
This whole thing is about us getting more liquor licenses.
You know, the census, the door and all of that.
We've got it. We've got to and in fact, the
mayor is over here, Pat.

Speaker 13 (02:28:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (02:28:14):
I usually talk about development and we're talking going on
the plan commission.

Speaker 12 (02:28:17):
I don't really talk about liquor much.

Speaker 4 (02:28:18):
You don't we That's probably good.

Speaker 12 (02:28:20):
I know, that's some that's that's your lot that you
can handle that.

Speaker 4 (02:28:23):
That's when people start eating the moss again.

Speaker 6 (02:28:25):
The only thing that the liquor thing, it's just it's
just said, it's the how that the government controls something
so stupid. I mean, yeah, and it's just it's we
make lobbyists that are like trying to control the number
of licenses out for their own good.

Speaker 5 (02:28:40):
Right.

Speaker 18 (02:28:40):
Well, I should probably mention too, since we're talking about liquor,
that we are in the Dora district over here at
for twenty one South.

Speaker 4 (02:28:46):
Range Wine Road, which you can carry your outside.

Speaker 12 (02:28:49):
You can walk over from sun King chill out on
our back patio. You can rent the space for a
bridle shower.

Speaker 4 (02:28:56):
Or so where's the still? I couldn't find your still.

Speaker 10 (02:28:58):
Wait a minute, she's telling about you can rent this
place for or not passort parties, but could I was
just talking about them showers, showers, shower, small.

Speaker 5 (02:29:08):
Intimate space and sometimes like people like I have a
very tiny house. It's kind of in a rural area.
It's hard for people to get to. So I don't
really like hosting up my house because it's just too complicated.
So places like this would be perfect.

Speaker 10 (02:29:18):
We're offering experience to experience.

Speaker 4 (02:29:20):
That's what makes it.

Speaker 18 (02:29:21):
You're surrounded by plants and greenery and it's so relaxing
out there.

Speaker 12 (02:29:25):
We've got a fireplace.

Speaker 4 (02:29:26):
You're amazing.

Speaker 10 (02:29:26):
Can you bring food in?

Speaker 18 (02:29:28):
You can bring food in or I'll take care of
it for you. Okay, how many your food handle? I
think we could probably handle about twenty.

Speaker 10 (02:29:38):
Rides or new moms. Yeah, that would be It's just
a nice size. But that experience part of it is
what is so unique.

Speaker 18 (02:29:44):
Bachelor parties are just some a group of women that
went to get get together and get away from the
family and yeah, a couple of cocktails.

Speaker 4 (02:29:49):
Hey, you guys to do that, right, And you guys
still do this.

Speaker 12 (02:29:52):
I was girls one time. I was one of those
moms when.

Speaker 11 (02:29:54):
You do those moss art classes too, right, the so
you can do like a big group maybe together and
do out in the back patio, and you guys.

Speaker 18 (02:30:00):
Will And we've done quite a few art classes with
those are large groups and they bring their own wine,
they bring their shore couchery board.

Speaker 3 (02:30:08):
Do you do Yeah, do you do an official ladies night?

Speaker 12 (02:30:11):
I think I'm gonna have to start that yet we did.

Speaker 6 (02:30:14):
Uh My buddies are say, oh, yeah, you should do
a lady's night. So we did a ladies Night.

Speaker 5 (02:30:18):
It's like, oh, dear Lord, the ladies come bell force.

Speaker 12 (02:30:22):
Then they have to take you to coffee and you
can give me a bunch of ideas.

Speaker 3 (02:30:26):
Ladies.

Speaker 6 (02:30:27):
I'm telling you what explosive. Ladies night are so successful.
But it's just like ladies just want to get together
and it doesn't matter whether they buy anything. They're in
your place and they're seeing it. So we thought we
would do a gadget night. You know, guys night. Yeah,
nobody can't.

Speaker 10 (02:30:42):
We don't have friends, guys see each other.

Speaker 6 (02:30:44):
Yeah, and if we do have if we do have friends,
we're not gonna call each other.

Speaker 4 (02:30:49):
Come on, we'll meet you.

Speaker 5 (02:30:50):
What if your wives organize you all to be there together, Well,
you guys.

Speaker 6 (02:30:55):
If you guys said we're there to that terrible event,
their wives brought them.

Speaker 5 (02:31:00):
So maybe ladies night, take your husband, drop them off
with the kid zone, and then you can try.

Speaker 4 (02:31:05):
I just don't think it's for them.

Speaker 10 (02:31:06):
I think guys, if they're going to get together, it's
going to be at a ball game. It's going to
go golf, They're going to do something like that.

Speaker 4 (02:31:11):
I just can't see some place where they can cuss
and spin.

Speaker 6 (02:31:14):
Just although the eggfest thing, which is kind of but
it is kind of yeah, god, but that really everybody
comes with their wives and girl friends.

Speaker 10 (02:31:23):

cooking out on the grill. Yeah, cave man stuff.

w ib c Hey, good afternoon, welcome back. We are
here at Nature Spire. Uh and joining us the Mayor
of Westfield.

Speaker 4 (02:32:15):
The Homorable Mayor of Westfield.

Speaker 3 (02:32:17):
Oh, Willis, How are you good?

Speaker 22 (02:32:19):
How are you guys?

Speaker 4 (02:32:20):
Good? All right?

Speaker 10 (02:32:21):
Young?

Speaker 12 (02:32:22):
I mean how long?

Speaker 10 (02:32:22):
He looks so young to me. I'm old, I am old.
I'm going to go thirty five.

Speaker 3 (02:32:27):
Oh you're so nice.

Speaker 4 (02:32:29):
Yeah, schmooz. We got to get down to the business
of the census. How's going?

Speaker 12 (02:32:35):
Oh b.

Speaker 3 (02:32:37):
Wait, now I want to ask him.

Speaker 6 (02:32:38):
I heard you guys are the Army of Westfield is
massing on the border and you're planning to invade Carmel.

Speaker 3 (02:32:45):
It's the Marines.

Speaker 6 (02:32:47):
Yeah, he's a retiring the Marines. The Marines, so you're
going to take over Carmel, I get it. So all right,
Danny wants to know about the census and wants to
know it's pretty.

Speaker 3 (02:33:00):
We're into all of us in Westfield, beutty.

Speaker 15 (02:33:01):
It is.

Speaker 4 (02:33:01):
It's a big deal.

Speaker 15 (02:33:02):
It is.

Speaker 4 (02:33:02):
I'm not saying it's nothing districting. Are you talking about that? No, Mayor,
it's all yours. You got two minutes.

Speaker 22 (02:33:09):
Yeah, So we will do some redistrict now on the
back end, but we had to do it anyways because
we're jumping to a Class two city in twenty twenty
seven during the next election cycle. So the census will
support that. But that's not why we're doing it. We're
actually doing it for two reasons. One, you know, the
state thinks for about forty nine thousand residents. No way,
we think we're sixty five, if not larger. So that

(02:33:30):
gap in popular A lot of tax revenue comes back
to your cities based on population. We're estimating we're losing
about two million dollars a year of our money that's
staying at the state and not coming back.

Speaker 4 (02:33:40):
To west You know who's taking it Carmel all roundabouts,
but it means so much to the citizens. We're holding
back restaurant development, that's entertainment development because we can't get
the licenses.

Speaker 3 (02:33:55):
We're not a liquor license, that's right, you know. So
does that not drive you crazy? The stranglehold the state
as on liquor licenses.

Speaker 22 (02:34:01):
The government has a great way of stopping good things,
don't they really that you regulate that you are control that.
I am a politician, which makes me cringe right myself.

Speaker 6 (02:34:11):
You're a leader, sir, Just like, yeah, I mean what
is the what is the reason for controlling liquor license?

Speaker 22 (02:34:18):
You know, India has always been a very conservative state.
I mean you could I don't know. Can we buy
liquor now on Sundays?

Speaker 7 (02:34:23):
We used to not be able to do that.

Speaker 22 (02:34:25):
I think they just changed that, but it took decades
to get that. I mean we've we're kind of backwards.

Speaker 4 (02:34:30):
Okay. The Mayor is here for the speed round and
it's brought to you by Thompson Furniture and Mattress in Columbus.
