are you Welcome to the show.And now, like we were talking before
the show, judges, you can'treally get into the weeds on topics and

(03:53):
things of that nature as you're runningfor judges. A candidate for judge so
is running or a candiday for judgesis really kind of more just getting the
information out there to people about whoMike Powell is. So for those we
got a lot of new people inthe county. Now you've been here a
long time, but why don't youtell everybody who Mike Powell is, why

(04:15):
you got involved in law, andwhy you think people need to vote for
you for judge. Well, thankyou again for the invite to be on
your show. This is the infamouswarehouse behind the taco bell. It's actually
pretty nice back here. So you'reright. Judge races in Florida, for
better or worse or nonpartisan races,candidates aren't allowed to talk about what party
they belong to, or for themost part, they're not allowed to comment

(04:36):
on issues that are likely to comebefore the court. Now in county court,
you know those are those issues area little bit different than what you
might see on a national level ora political level statewide. But basically I'm
again. I'm Mike Powell. I'mfifty two years of age. I've lived
here in Charlotte County since nineteen eightyeight. I graduated high school from Port
Charlotte High in nineteen ninety, whereI met my wife, my high school

(04:58):
sweetheart, Jenna. Jenna as anoriginal Charlotte County resident. She was born
and raised here. She's a schoolteacher in the Charlotte County Public school system,
has been for nearly thirty years.We both are pirates, but our
kids both graduated from Charlotte High School. Uh oh, how wet go?
You know, it's funny in Canvassing. I get asked by a lot of
people in Pona Gordo or the Piratesboo, get out of here. But

(05:19):
I'm said, look, my kidsgo to Charlotte or went to Charlotte.
Oh, so balance it's balanced,right, Except I don't have any family
out in Lemon Bay, so Idon't have any manner raise in my family.
But we don't want to forget aboutEnglewood. But I went to undergrad
at University South Florida in Tampa,and then I went to law school at
Mississippi College School of Law in Jackson, Mississippi, And as had been the

(05:40):
plan all along, I returned herein ninety seven after law school and began
work as a prosecutor at the StateAttorney's Office under then State Attorney Joe Dela
Sandro. I was there in twodifferent stints a total of about ten years,
and I've been in private practice forabout eighteen more years. As far
as why people should vote for me, and let me just say something,
you're right, it's it's really hardbecause not a lot of people know what

(06:00):
county judges do. Tell us,county judge of cases will you be presiding
over. County judges handle small claimsmatters, which are generally matters where the
amountain issues less than eight thousand dollars. They handle civil general civil matters where
the mountain issue is less than fiftythousand dollars. They handle landlord tenant cases,

(06:21):
They handle traffic citation cases, andof course they handle a misdemeanor criminal
cases. Some of our county judgesactually are appointed to handle probate matters,
which are normally circuit matters. Wehave a county judge that's appointed to handle
juvenile matters, which normally is alsoa circuit matter. But those are generally
the areas and the topics that acounty judge presides over. People don't know

(06:45):
a lot. People don't know unlessyou're in the legal field or the legal
bubble as I call it. Peopledon't know who any of us are.
They don't unless you've had untill they'rein front of you well, or they've
had to use you for some reasonfor some legal matter. But that's why
I want to urge everybody. Look, you don't know the candidates. There's
two people running in or one otheropponent at my race, and there's another
county judge position open. But peopleneed to research the candidates. You know,

(07:09):
go on their web pages, readabout them. And maybe more importantly
than that, I think, isif you know somebody in the legal field
or even tangentially related to the legalfield. You know a cop, or
you know a clerk, anybody thatworks in the legal system. Talk to
those people because they can tell youa lot more about the people running for
judge than you're going to get fromlooking at a sign or you know,

(07:29):
or listening to an ad or thingslike that, why should we vote for
you? As a prosecutor, Thisis what I'd like to say. As
a prosecutor, I know what it'slike to be on that side of the
courtroom standing with the victims of crimeor the family of a victim of crime,
and making sure their rights are protectedand asserting, you know, the
interest of justice on their behalf.At the same time, I've feared eighteen

(07:53):
more years I've stood on the otherside of the courtroom. I've stood with
people accused of crimes. I've stoodwith people or their families. The impact
that it has not just on theperson accused, but on their family and
their loved ones. It's pretty it'spretty drastic in some circumstances. So I
know that that balance of being onboth sides of the courtroom protecting the rights
of those accused. But at thesame time, like I said, I've
practiced for many years, you know, prosecuting, prosecuting defendants, and standing

(08:18):
with victims. That balance and thatthat number of years that I've practiced,
to me, I think it's mygreatest asset. Knowing both sides of the
courtroom the way the way I do, and being able to protect, like
I said, and assert assert therights of the accused, or protect the
rights of the accused and of victimsof crime. I don't think you really

(08:39):
become a fair and impartial person justover night. I think it takes years
of training and practice as an attorney, almost to the point where you almost
grow a detachment not you know,from cases or things that are before you.
And that's what that's what we wantin our judges. We don't want
judges emotionally attached or invested in acase, because that's not the role of
the judge, the role we havebeen seeing that though we've been seeing it

(09:01):
on a national that's for sure,County court, don't you know. I
don't think, as I said,you're not going to have those national issues.
There's no county court abortion rulings coming, there's no county court immigration cases
coming. It's a much different rolein much different scenario. But that said,
going back to the nonpartisan thing,I don't like it. I hate
it. Supreme Court said that's theway it is, and so as the

(09:22):
legislature, so we have to agreeto it. But I think you should
know whether you're voting for county commissioner, school board dog catcher, not that
we elect dog catchers, but Ithink you should know where the candidate that
you're voting for stands. You shouldknow whether they're a solid conservative or whether
they're you know, whether they fallon the other side. Let's put it
that way. I'm a constitutional conservativeas much as those matters may come in

(09:46):
front of a county judge, whichagain are somewhat limited. But I'm a
small government person. I'm a limitedgovernment person. I'm a person that does
not believe in reading the Constitution tocreate new rights and new laws. I
don't think judges should do that.That's the role of the legislature, who
is an elected body that's more answerableto the public by election. Judges are
there to call balls and strikes,not create law. And judges are also

(10:09):
there to protect, frankly, everyone'sfundamental freedoms and basic rights, and that's
the role of judges. I seeit. Over the years, what case
has affected you the most? Ican't really say a particular case because I
and I don't want it to soundlike cold and cold and so forth.

(10:31):
But as I said, I knowyou try to stay detached. But over
the years, though you see somuch. In my ten years as a
prosecutor, I saw just about everything. I prosecuted just about every crime there
is, and I've certainly defended aboutevery crime there is. I will say
there's nothing that has really bothered meto the point I have been able to
do my job effectively or zealously onbehalf of a client or the state,

(10:54):
if anything like normal people. Probablyanimal cruelty cases. I can't think of
one in particular, but those arealways troublesome and disturbing. I'm a dog
owner and a dog lover, andi have a ten month old Golden Retriever
at home. That was my lifelongdream to get that dog. But that
said, I don't want to createthe impression of animal cruelty cases that come

(11:16):
in front of a county judge thatI'm a bad guy to be in front
of. It won't be the case, as I said, yeah, hanging
judge. Every judge has their ownpersonal likes and preferences, and their own
biases and so forth. But theissue is whether you can put those aside
and be fair and impartial. Andthat's what I've done for twenty eight years.
I think anybody that knows me inthe legal community, has ever worked
with me would say the same thingabout me. I'm a fair ethical guy.

(11:39):
You could probably you could talk toa lot of police officers that I've
been on the side of them,so to speak, as a prosecutor,
and I've been against them as adefense attorney, and I think by and
large they would have very good thingsto say about me, and anybody in
the legal system would outside of law, What are your passions? I don't
think I have any of the lastten to twelve months of doing this,
didn't you know, can't painting foreven a small county judge race is a

(12:01):
time consuming affair, But passions beyondthat, I'll be honest. My two
kids are my passion. My family'smy passion. My dog is my passion.
I spent a lot of time earlierin my career, in my younger
career, doing a lot of communitythings. I was in leadership Charlotte two
thousand and nine, Oh, whatcolor Blue? And you know it's funny,
I got to remember there was aleadership Charlotte, What color are you?

(12:24):
I wasn't, but I've had themall on the show. There was
a leadership Charlotte reunion a few weeksago or a month ago, and I
got to be honest with you,it's been so I was in class of
two thousand and nine. I hadforgotten what color I was. But in
any event, but no, Idid a lot of those community involved things
earlier in my career. I servedprofessionally, you know. I tell people

(12:45):
I've served either coached or helped supportor been involved with just about every youth
sports league around here. But that'sthat's as a parent, which I say,
you always don't get credit for that, because you're a parent. That's
what you're supposed to be. Youhave to. But professionally I've served,
Like I said, I was aattorney advisor for the teen Court program for
many many years. I've served asa magistrate for Baker Act hearings here in

(13:05):
the county before, been involved inthe twentieth Circuit Peer Review and Peer Review
Committee, the Grievance Committee, whichis the committee with somebody grieves a local
attorney. It usually goes first tothat committee to investigate. So I've done
a lot of those professional things aroundthe community. In recent years, my
focus had been my practice in myfamily. My youngest child Angeley. She
just graduated Charlotte High School in May. She's off to college here August.

(13:30):
Almost an empty nester. Now,you know that's the thing, Ken,
you gotta find a hobby. Now. My kids both go My son's a
junior at Florida Southern in Lakeland,and he goes back to school the Sunday
before the election here. My daughtergoes to school over at Florida Atlantic and
Boca Ratone the Wednesday before the election. So it's going to be a tumultuous
week. We've got two kids leaving, we'll be empty nesters, and then

(13:52):
we got an election to wait out. So it's going to be a fun
time. Oh wow. Any hobbies, No, not particularly other than your
dog. Not my dog. I'man avid top he's ten months now.
He's great. I'm an avid TampaBay Lightning fan, avid hockey fan.
That's my one passion, I guesswhen it comes to the sports, uh,
politics as a hobby. But youknow, I can't really say too

(14:15):
much more about that at the moment, but I'm sure I'm a very political
person, very politically involved in youknow, in following things. Let's put
it that way, all right.Do you have a website I do.
It's Mike powellfojudge dot com. Andit's it's f O R, not the
letter, not the number four Ishould say, so it's Mike powellfojudge dot
com. All right, Uh,time for your elevator speech before we kick
you out the studio. Well,as I said, UH, I encourage

(14:39):
everyone if you know somebody in thelegal community, or even like I said,
outside the legal community, but somewhatrelated, talk to those people.
They are the best, uh,the best judges so to speak of who's
who's going to make a judge goodjudge or who's been a good attorney,
and who's the best fit to uhto sit on the county bench. I'm
a Charlotte County person. I've livedhere, Like I said thirty I love

(15:00):
Charlotte County. It's where I alwaysintended to come back and start my career,
raise my family. That's what I'vedone. I'm invested in this community,
and I've been working towards this goalof being judged my whole life,
or my whole legal life, let'sput it that way. To me,
being judge is the pinnacle of myprofession. And I've had a chance to
help and affect people in hopefully positiveways in my private practice and as a

(15:22):
state attorney. And I think theopportunity to affect people's lives hopefully in a
positive way is so much as acounty judge sitting as a county judge.
Not everybody's going to feel positively affectedby the decisions of a county judge.
But I think as long as youcan walk in a courtroom and feel that
you're treated fairly, that a judgedoesn't speak down to you, that's one

(15:43):
thing too. I'm a pretty plainspoken guy. I'm not the type that's
going to talk a bunch of legalease over people or litigans or witnesses coming
in a courtroom. I don't thinkthat helps much, and I don't think
that serves the judiciary very well.But I encourage everybody to please mail in.
Ballots go out this month here fromthe Supervisor office. Early voting begins
August fifth. An election day,of course, for this race is August

(16:03):
twentieth. My race will be decidedAugust twentieth. Since there are only two
of us, there will be awinner August twentieth. It will not be
something that goes to November. Soplease everybody keep that in mind. All
right, Mike Powell, thank youvery much. Appreciate your time, ladies
and gentlemen. Mike Powell, I'mgonna take it quick break. We'll be

week? California speaking Antifa thugs finallyget punished. Oakland is still in a

(20:52):
free fall with fresh new crimes goingunresponded to by the police. Greasy Gavin
Newsom announces that he's all in withJohn Oh really I am. We love
Joe okay. And in Washington State, my home state, which is really
just turned into a crap hole,total crap hole state Washington these days.

(21:15):
Beautiful place to visit, but don'tstay there for longer than a week.
Oh that scumsuck and Marxist virus itgets ooh manet, get down your fingers,
you start running up your sleeve.Yeah, Washington, say, Seattle's
got six figure jobs for tree huggers. Huh there you go. Now for

(21:40):
years been gas lit with a bsfrom people who know better that the people
who rioted for years across the countrywith their little BLM big liberal moron buddies,
especially leading up to the twenty sixteenand twenty twenty elections. Remember they
were we were told what blm.Oh, that's just an idea. Yeah,

(22:00):
Joe Biden asserted, when he couldstill put a sentence together. Little
minion, that fat little ZiT,Jerry Natler, he said, blim,
it's a myth. It's a myth. So they're vapor and non entity.
Billions in damage, hundreds of hospitalizedcops, especially along the West Coast,
Mes coast. Apparently they didn't existat all. Hmm. But in twenty

(22:26):
twenty one, a group of Antifathugs attacked a group of Trump supporters on
the boardwalk in pack Beach. Muchof the brutal beatings, harassment, and
menacing were caught on video. Inaddition to attacking the Trump supporters at a
Patriot march, they attacked a dog, sprayed people with pepper spray, and
brutally beat a woman. The attackwas pre planned and carried out by a

(22:48):
sell of Antifa activists but they didn'texist. I thought, blm, Antifa,
they don't exist. Shockingly, SanDiego County prosecutors brought a case against
the mob, and on June twentyeighth, members of this Antifa cell not
a myth tossed into the pokey.Eight of eleven Antifa members who carried out

(23:11):
the conspiracy to attack Trump supporters weresentenced to time behind bars. Defendant Brian
Lightfoot told the court quote, Iwant to apologize to the victims in city
of San Diego. No one shouldbe attacked for their political views. Okay,

(23:37):
all right, another blaring advertisement forrequiring civics to be taught in school.
Speaking of Antifa this week Portland.Last week, rather Portland, Oregon
taxpayers got the bill to replace allthe vehicles torched by a mob of Antifa
thugs in May. The arson coincidedwith the timing of the takeover of the
buildings at Portland State University by Hamasterrorists supporters. Police don't know if there's

(24:02):
a connection, but this week Portlandersgot the bill to replace and repair the
salvagible cars four hundred and fifty fivethousand dollars and it'll take two years to
have all the vehicles back online.Don't worry though, Portland. I'm sure
that cracked DA in Portland at Soroselected DA and the multiple leaders of the

(24:26):
multiple police oversight groups. We'll wantto get to the bottom of the arson
that torched fifteen police vehicles. Humhm. And by the way, folks,
it's hot outside. You know why, that's right, summer, summer.
That's that's very good. So climatecatastrophists always overhype the day's weather report into

(24:52):
a cataclysmic event. But the announcementof the summer's arrival by Oregon's governor,
the fortunately named Tina Kotek ha haoh, the memes, the memes anyway,
seemed a bit over the top,even for her. The calendar may

(25:14):
say that summer starts in June,but everybody in the Pacific North Northwest knows
it really doesn't start up there tilllike July fifth, And it was in
the upper eighties and nineties in thewestern parts of the Pacific Northwest. No
biggie too humidity. Oh my cousin, he was doing. He lives in
Wallawalla, the city so I saynamed it twice. He sends me he's
gonna get up to one hundred andfour. Yeah, it's summer and it's

(25:40):
seventeen percent humidity where you're at.I'll take that. It's been a hot
over growing up. It was onehundred and three hundred and four during the
summer multiple times. What's the bigdeal? But now they want you to
feel the heat. It's not justone hundred and four. With the heat
in Debt, it feels like onehundred and fourteen. Okay anyway, uh

(26:07):
tech, I can't get I can'tget past that anyway. The people in
the eastern portions of the state,where the normal people live, called the
one hundred degree temperatures the growing seasonwheat season out there anyway, But ko
tech Co tex Yah had to getit out, she says. Today,

(26:30):
I declared a state of emergency dueto the extreme heat in Oregon. Extreme
temperatures are the new normal, andI urge Jorgonians to have a plan and
check on their family and neighbors sowe can grow more resilient in the years
ahead. Oh wow, if notfor her, I'd never thought to check

(26:52):
on mom and dad. And theseare also these are also the leftist douche
bags that want to ban air conditioning. Back to my crap home state of
Washington. Washington voters have totally losttheir minds. First they elected a guy
vying for the title of the dumbestman alive as governor, and thankfully he's

(27:18):
termed out Insley. What a completepiece of garbage. And now they confirm
that they hate cars. Nationwide pollsshows that six ten Washingtonians have no problem
banning gas cars. An outcome basedpoll called clear Commutes finds that fifty seven

(27:40):
percent of Californians are good with banninggas cars and cities, and forty seven
percent of Oregonians are just fine withimploding Portland. Forty seven percent were okay
with banning gas cars there, theother fifty three percent actually drive trucks,
farm hall stuff and our normal people. And then Oakland free fall. Greasey

(28:04):
Gavin part of the defund the policeleft his cabal, promised to plus up
state patrol officers to Oakland and didfor a while. The city suffers from
the highest crime rate in decades,so he had some state popos doing their
duties in Oakland, but apparently he'sit didn't last and the crime is just

(28:30):
through the roof. How many places, how many businesses, are closing down
in Oakland because one because of thehigh crime, two because of the twenty
bucks an hour. Newsom's been insidethe Beltway all week, attending the emergency
governor's meeting with Biden to show theflag with the man who can't remember his
name or really what a flag is. Newsom was more unpopular than Camala.

(28:53):
Now you've heard me say many times, this is in California. The recent
poll nationwide, Greasey Gavin is moreunpopular than the very already very unpopular Kamala
Harris. And Greasey Gavin is theone who I think is going to be
the seat filler for Joe if theycan get rid of him. And why

(29:19):
is Newsome so unpopular? Well,look at California. Look at what he
does, look at his policies.Everything he's done in California has destroyed California.
And look at all the cartels activelydoing business and growing in California.
Nothing ever happens. But I don'tknow, it's gonna be weird here.

(29:45):
We're gonna see what happens. It'sgot to happen. I'm hearing all kinds
of theories. We'll get into itwith Dan next hour. But so many
different theories about how they're gonna getrid of Joe and Oprah and everybody's involved,
and and how the whole media andthe left is all going to pivot
now and say, oh, welove Kamala. Kamala is just she's the

(30:07):
best ever. Can you hear meall the way back there? Your immaturity
is extremely disappointing. I am reallydisappointed in you. Do you have any
ethical qualms regarding human experimentation? Doyou think this is some kind of game?
You're just gonna drop the mic andwalk off? It's heartbreak hotel up
in here. We'll be right back, which Charlotte County speaks on news radio
fifteen eighty WCC. You know whatI'm talking about? Summer camp. How

(30:33):
many people went to camp here?Yeah? Nice? Now they got this
camp cult space camp. Do youknow what that is? It's a special
camp for these kids who want tobe astronauts aka can't run, throw catch
a battle a canoe. These ugernerds are going to weze their way to
the stars. No, I'm notputting them down. I'm jealous because I

(30:56):
couldn't go. I was too old, So I just observed all this from
my van. But either way,now, I didn't go to space camp.
I went to boy Scout camp whereI learned to keep a secret.
That's right, don't tell me.Show you the start a good time.

said his country has been overwhelmed bymigrants so much that it is no longer
safe for his family to live in. Coming to a city near you.

(33:36):
Cruse, who's retiring from soccer aftera spectacular career at the Spanish giants Real
Madrid, made the comments during apodcast appearance ahead of what turned out to
be his final ever match, hesaid, quote, I believe that this
control over certain issues has simply slippedaway a little over the years, and
there's a reason for that. Inmy opinion, the reason is that people

(33:59):
have over overwhelm them. Clearly,when many people come, there's always a
percentage who do not do us good, just as there is among Germans.
Thirty three year old added that hewould continue to live in Spain despite his
retirement because of safety concerns, admittingthat he would rather his seven year old
daughter go out in a Spanish citythan a German one quote. I think

(34:22):
Germany is a great country and I'mhappy to be here, but it's not
really the same country that it wasten years ago when we left. True
why the scum left. The scumleft is why Germany has been destroyed,
just like France is dead. Afterthe Commies had taken over. Macrone,

(34:44):
the Centrist, is now outseated bythe Commis knew it was gonna happen,
but I don't think that macronexpect Macronewas expecting to have the majority seats in
the second election. First election,he gets his ass kick, but it's
like ranked voting in Alaska. There'salways the second round, so he teamed

(35:08):
up with the hardline comedies to helpget the vote out and they did so.
France is dead. I mean thiswhole thing. Many European countries,
Germany's forcibly, had its borders opento millions of migrants over the past decades.

(35:35):
And all of these migrants, noneof them, the same ones that
are coming here, are going there, and they have no desire at all
to assimilate, very few do.They're going to bring their crap culture and
their diseases with them, and they'regoing to be begging for handouts the entire

(35:58):
time they're there. And that issuehas created major internal divisions across Germany,
including the rise of the conservative Alternativefor German Party that the left wing government
is seeking to simply ban from politicaloffice democracy. Despite his team's defeat at
the hands of Spain in the EuropeanChampionship, Cruse is widely regarded as one

(36:22):
of the greatest midfielders of his generation. Back in twenty fourteen, integral part
of the team's World Cup victory,and he's also won five Champions League's trophies
with Real Madrid. But he hasno desire at all to go back to
Germany, and I don't blame you. I do not blame it. That'd

(36:43):
be like, you know, I'mfrom Spokane, I'm not going back.
If I was from Baltimore, doyou think I'd be moving back to Baltimore
the same smell twoh six, fifteeneighty, toll free eight eight four to
four one, fifteen eighty. We'vegot a problem out there, ladies and
gentlemen. I know, I hateto add to the list, but we've

(37:06):
got a serious problem with young adultsrock and sandals with socks, with socks
with socks. I uh, whileI blame K twelve and bad parenting quite
actually, but uh, it's notyoung, it's not hip, it's not

(37:30):
young, it's not cool. Youlook like a dope. One in six
Americans, more than a quarter ofyoung people now think rock and socks with
sandals is a good look. See, I'm telling you they have that.
This is again another shining example ofhow r K twelve has dumbed down our

(37:53):
kids to the point to where theythink it's a good look to wear socks
and sandals. It's never a goodlook. Maybe to run out to check
the mail, drag the garbage cansout to the curve. You don't go
out in public like that. Twentysix percent of people under thirty said it's

(38:15):
usually how they roll when they've gotsandals on. Disgusting. The trend reverses
when we're talking about sneakers. Onlyfour percent of young people like wearing sneakers
without socks, compared to eleven percentof seniors sneakers without socks. Ew stinkfoot
anyway, sand Yes, well putthat on the plan of the day.

(38:40):
If you would please to talk toyour young'uns about a proper foot attire and
sandals and socks is not proper footattire. I think we can all agree
with that high coller you're on theair. They can. Yeah, these

(39:00):
young kids must really like Donnie Osmondbecause he started that. I was in
Hawaii in seventy eight. He goton the elevator with surple socks and sandals.
Oh disgusting. Well, you knowwe always had questions about Donnie,
you know, back then, Thanksyou too, thanks to the call two

(39:21):
six fifteen eighty toll free eight eighteight four four one fifteen eighty. Yeah,
you'd see old farts wearing sandals.They put their knee highs on.
Ah. Yeah, I don't knowwhat it is, very it's well,
I just it's It's just another signof the apocalypse, folks, I hate
to tell you. And another signis this going cash list these dumb asses

(39:45):
in England. This is what theyget. Good for them, they deserve
it. A wishing well in Englandrecently switched to contactless payments. What the
the hell is the point? That'snot what, that's not how I'm gonna
make a wish. I'm gonna throwsome change into the into the wishing well.

(40:08):
Well. You can't throw any changeinto the wishing well anymore, man,
But here download this app screw youand it and just like that,
that's exactly what people have said,screw you, so you can't toss coins
in anymore. Part of a Romanbath house in Bath, England. It's

(40:32):
about two thousand years old. Backthen it was a cold water pool people
could jump in after a hot bath. But for years tourists had been tossing
coins in for good luck, makea wish, toss it in the fount
pennies in the mouth and it broughtin a lot of money for the charity
that runs the bath house. Butsome idiot tech douchebag decided they during the

(40:55):
pandemic that they were gonna switch tocontactless pain. You can still make a
wish, but you got to dropyour coin in a box or use a
credit card to donate, which doesn'thave the same appeal. Nobody likes that.
It's stupid. It misses the pointcompletely. And because they missed the

(41:17):
point completely and couldn't read the roomproperly, they went from one hundred and
thirty three thousand dollars a year inpennies in the fountain down to under fourteen
thousand dollars after they changed over,and it looks like this year it's going
to be even less. Officials saythey didn't make the change just to be

(41:38):
jerks. Well, now that yourealize you were a jerk for changing it,
how about changing it back. Thetradition of tossing coins was damaging the
bath structure. How someone's splain thatto me, Because some splain to me
out throwing a penny in a poolof water is damaging the fountain, And

(42:08):
the process of retrieving and cleaning thecoins wasn't cheap. Well, it ain't
working for you, And now they'reout one hundred and thirty three grand a
year to less than fourteen thousand,and apparently they're sticking to their guns.

(42:31):
Quote, a child making a wishwith a contactless card doesn't have the same
magical appeal exactly. It completely missesthe point. Yeah, what what next?
What are you gonna get from thetooth fairry under your pillow? A

(42:51):
little card with a QR code onit, redeemable for a Amazon gift card.
Again, these people missed the point. They're stupid. People completely missed
the point two oh six fifteen eightytoll free eight eight eight four four one

(43:12):
fifteen eighty. Well have you everdone this? You're making pancakes, but
you didn't you're not using an onstick pan, or you didn't have enough
butter underneath it, and the pancakesstick into the pan and you're just getting
like a crumbles and piles of doughin there. Well, some idiot on
TikTok decided to pretend that, Well, no, I meant to do that,

(43:35):
and it's scrambled pancakes. I've triedthat. When I messed up the
pancake because I didn't have any butterat the bottom of the pan. It
stuck to the pan. You canjust get clumpy. It doesn't know.
It doesn't taste good at all becauseit doesn't cook. It doesn't cook all
the way. It's it's stupid scrambledpancakes. I thought it was going to

(43:59):
be something like where you, uh, scramble the eggs and then throw in
the pancake batter and flip that yougot. You got pancakes and scrambled eggs
all in the same same plate.You're good to go. Maybe crumble up
some bacon, throw it all inthere, and I have like a whole
little, you know, pancake pie. But I say no, no,

(44:21):
sir, to the scrambled pancakes.And I also say, yeah, I
believe, we've believe we no,We've determined exactly how I feel about socks
and sandals, uh and wishing wellsto contact. I just that one blows
me away, because that's just that'sit. That should be a no brainer.

(44:45):
Oh and I think the guy thatwe did have a dead guy.
Yeah, I thought it would bea cool idea to light off a firework
on top of his head. Wellhe only did it once. We'll be
