Speaker 3 (02:02):
It is weird because when I pulled like the vial
out to put it on my tongue. Yes, it's got
pieces floating in it, which is kind of gross, but
I do it anyway.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Ghostlagger had stuff floating in it.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
That was that made your poop glittery though. That was
kind of cool. The next day after Goldslagger.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
No, it's ghostlager.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Had real flakes of gold floating in it, and when
you drank it, you would poop gold.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, I know a person to take like the old
Creek shiftress, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
And Frank was his name.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Gholstlagger was not disgusting. It was pretty good.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
I never had it.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, oh you didn't. All right, So wait a minute,
I'm leading this interview. Shut your face.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Okay, So first this exciting.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
First of all, I find this interesting because I don't
try I try to buy that stuff off Facebook and stuff.
Where did you buy? Where did you buy this?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
So here's what I do. I do research on the
Google machine.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Oh he does research?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Do you wear a doctor's coat while you do your research?

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Depends on what I'm researching on this particular subject. I
just wore one of those headbands with a shiny round
disc at the top.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
You know, you got to get doctor to get his
jackets with our names on it. Just so hang on,
we've got to do our research. We go over and
put our coats on lions.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Main go, I just.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Want to get one of those headbands that has like
a shiny round circle to the old timing doctors.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, right, so that's all I want.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Now. I did the research and I said, you know
what does it do? The benefits, the risk? And I
always say what medications can it interfere with? I had
to had to them it could, but I went ahead
and did it anyway, okay, because those are just factory recommendations,
no risk, no reward, allegedly, So why do you think

(03:45):
you can trust wherever you bought it from?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Because RFK?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I wrote RFK a letter and he responded and he said,
I know.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
You can do this same. I can't listen to his voice,
stress I'm crazy. So why Again, this is a legitimate question,
and everyone out there is listening has seen ads on Facebook,
the blue whatever that blief.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I would never buy anything, so what you're talking about?

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, so yeah, we see all these ads. Were like,
well if that, if that's the if that does it
for me? I want that. Where did you go to
buy it?

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I went to Amazon, but first I just went on
the Google machine. I researched what is you know, rank
the best lines, main delivery method. I take sure it
was the best that I found So I started searching
that and I found one, and then I went to Amazon.
Sure enough, they had it. Then I read their reviews.

(04:49):
It's the verified reviews. People actually bought it, and it
was non stop, really positive information. So I said, I'm
gonna try it. So I tried it. I tried it yesterday.
I'm really mornings.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Are horrible for me. Me too, I have a lot
of stress to we get on the air.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, so you know how bad it is? Like this, this
is my alarm clock. Oh kidding me?

Speaker 3 (05:11):
So I took this and almost instantly, I mean not instantly,
but you know, within a few minutes it started affecting me.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Okay, so I've noticed, and I didn't know you were
taking it.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
I didn't tell anybody.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
This is not an ad. This is not an ad.
We're not getting paid or get free stuff. We have
no I have no idea. So I have to have
the follow up question. Hey, because I'm interviewing you. Yes,
there is a famous Witten term. One is good. So
you're not going to start drilling this like every half hour?

(05:43):
How long? How long often do you take it?

Speaker 3 (05:45):
You could take it twice a day. I'm taking it
once a day. Okay, I'm taking it first thing in
the morning while I come down to put my Ellison
bottenhouse and boot on and rolling Stone shoes. Okay, I've
got it right there by the by the couch. Shake
it up, the Sims furniture couch, shake it up, take
one tincture of it, and I just kind of let

(06:06):
it dissolve under my tongue, you know, sublingu and then
I'll go in and have my coffee.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
But I'm just gonna do it. I'm doing it once
a day just to get focused for the show or
attempt to.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
So how much was it for one tinksture bottle? Forty bucks? Well,
let me see because I'm interested. Now, John, did you
Oh you weren't at work yesterday.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
So far, it's been a really good, positive experience.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Have you noticed that he's been a little bit more energy.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
And he came right into my studio before the show
even started, and he seemed pretty chipper.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
That's what I'm saying. He's never like that. He's got
his sunglasses on and hates everyone. Yes, right, he used
to yell at poor Tony Cruz because he would chew
his gum too loud.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Oh my gosh, who's on the air doing this?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
No, it was off the air. You would just scream
at poor Tony. Tony would go, I'm so sorry, I'm
so sorry, and you you you should be well.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
I would, I would, just because listen, we have that
same disease or whatever.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Where mona like a local locas that's the name of it.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, where it affects us and that noise immediately affects
our fires light. I have that, and unfortunately I'm fight
But so I went to the cruise. I said, I
can't be in here if you're popping that gum. He goes, oh,
I won't do anymore. I'm like, well, why are you popping?
Why are you chooting gum while you're on the air anyway, but.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
He said he wouldn't. But every morning I came in.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Okay, so I just stayed out of the studio. How
much twenty nine bucks? Okay, it's for four fluid ounces.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Okay, you do ten drops.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Or no, I just do one?

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Vile alright, Order me one and I'll pay you for it.
Want me too, Yeah, order me or me and I'll
pay you for it. Tuesday, you should take mushroom coffee instead. No, no,
I'm gonna try Lions Maine.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
No, no, no, has Lions Maine in it though, Yeah,
but the.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Mushroom coffee tastes disgust, they think, So, yeah, you're the
wrong brand.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Have you tried it?

Speaker 4 (07:53):
I have had the Vita cut brand.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
I would not know.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
I will not here. It's actually not bad price.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
I'm getting ready to order this for you.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Is it next day?

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Is today? I have it tomorrow, all right, So.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
I would not know. But if anybody's partakeed in hallucinogenic mushrooms, no.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
That's different.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Okay, all right, So there talking about they taste disgusting.
I mean if I would have ever done that? So
which is never?

Speaker 3 (08:28):
This is Lion's main actually, Lion's main extra strength for
brain boost. I'm taking. Here's the brand name, herbit FEE.
I guess h E R B I F Y.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
That's seems legit.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Okay. It's for memory, focus, clarity, and immune.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well you need helping all those.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Right, So that's why I started to take it.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
But it seems to be working.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Okay, all right, Well, Lion's main. I was because I
noticed something's going on with you, dude.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
I was just because last thing I was going to do.
Tell anybody something I'm.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Doing on Let's say a prayer real quick that this
continues to work. John, you know you put your hands.
Put your hands like you're praying. Dude, there you go.
All right, Lord Jesus, please guide Dwight. Yes, and please
guide the manufacturers of Lion's main Herbert Herbert Laca Laca
to work on him for a long period of time

(09:22):
for the benefit of us and the benefit of you Jesus,
as we have a better Dwight in the world today,
as your praise our Lord Jesus and Savior. Amen.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Amen, Amen, see right, see that I also induces prayer.
I forgot this says right here on the back. Well,
faking injury is is not favorable if you're a sportsball team.
Just ask Syracuse who faked injuries against Clemson.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I didn't know. Do you know anything about this story?

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yes, So the team the other team is going too fast,
and or you want to stop the clock, you just
lay down and pretend, oh my uncle hurts, my ankle hurts,
and then they stopped the game.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
So what soccer players do all the time.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, absolutely, but they don't stop the clock. It's not
to add to it. Though yeah, stops exactly right.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
The lesson was learned by Sarahcuse after the ACC determined
players were indeed taking dives to the way the play
during Saturday's game against Clemson at nine at the nine
to twenty five mark in the fourth quarter. The ACC
ruled the two players and a coach clearly attempted to
game an unmerited advantage by stopping the clock. The quarterback

(10:33):
caught out the fake injuries. He said he slowed the
tempo of the game down. What did they get slapped with?
They got slapped with a twenty five thousand dollars fine. However,
Syrahcuse did end up winning the game at thirty four
to twenty one.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
My question is this.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
For a college sports team, is twenty five thousand really
that big of a fine for what they make just
off a television contract alone, and they secured the victory.
Would that be like saying, you know what, Dwight, you
cheated and you won the game, which is what it
was all about, but we're gonna find you five dollars.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Athletic departments in college are a lot like jcps. If
they bring in one hundred and thirty five million, they
spend one hundred and thirty five million. I remember one
year they advertised they spent six thousand dollars less than
what they could have spent, and they thought that was
going to be a positive story. So no, twenty five thousand. Yes,

(11:28):
they they spend like they're uh drunk East End housewives,
but uh, twenty five thousand isn't a problem for them
for Syracuse, No, that's not a problem.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
So that's my point is, why don't you just go
ahead and cheat and if it's gonna cost you twenty
five grand? Well, every every team, yes, every team cheats.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
It seems to me.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
It seems like no, no, and they don't care. Every team cheats.
John Alle used to say he would literally take a
glass and hold it up because they would have the
defensive or the offensive coordinators next to them in the
in the uh up in the guy in the booth.
Yeah right, so they would try to listen to what
the play call was. Yeah they all cheat. Yeah, it's
just who gets called. Yeah, it's exactly right. No, they
all cheat, all right, So last night, Monday night football.

(12:11):
This is a good story about football. Oh good, So
the Ravens, could you do me a favor though.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Yes, it's a big ask, but I think John Auden
would enjoy this too. Okay, somehow on this NFL story,
if you could work in Father Shane, it would be great.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Okay, as long as when I say father Shane, will
you laugh extra loud like I'm a comedian.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Guess yes?

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Okay, So last night, the Ravens kid catches the ball
and the kick off, and all she's got to do
is beat the kicker, right, because you're like, well, it's
the kicker, and usually the kicker miffs and does whatever. Right, Well,
this kicker ain't playing. He demolishes the runner demolishes. It

(12:55):
turns out the kid last year wasn't even on a roster.
He was a bricklayer. He was a bricklayer in Texas.
Oh my god, and he tried out for the NFL
team and he made it. The kicker, Oh my god,
and he an ex bricklayer just just I mean, takes
out the kid from the Ravens. All's you gotta do
is it's a touchdown. It's a touchdown. And the kicker

(13:17):
was like, no, I used to lay brick. I'm gonna
take you out. Boom. It was a positive story. Plus
it was amazing because earlier that day Father Shane had
had prayed for him.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
But that's cool, and no, that's very it's very cool,
but it's it's it's very demeaning for the runner, right
because for example, like wrestling now, wrestling used to be
an all male sport when I wrestled.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Now, I think females are allowed.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
So if you wrestle a female, congratulations, should beat a girl.
If you don't, ha ha, you gotta beat by a girl,
it's a no win situation. So getting tackled by the
kicker no win situation.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Everybody on his own team was just like, dude.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Dude, dude, oh my god, you beat.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
The ten other legitimate football players and you got tackled
by the kicker.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Did they say, hey, maybe next next quarter, we'll have
the hot dog lady kick it off for us.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Dude, I'm telling you, I love the story. And the
good looking kid too is on the sidelines took his
helmet off. He was like, yeah, man, I ain't playing.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
He was a bro.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
I was blaming Brick last year. This is easy. I
do have I I've got to talk about j CPS.
I apologize Dwight we'll talk about that next break. It's
it's gotten to a point now to where it's complete
chaos between everyone is pointing at everyone else about this
one hundred and eighty eight million dollars over the two

(14:45):
point two billion that they've spent last year.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Do we take calls at some point?

Speaker 1 (14:50):
We can. If we have ten lines, it'll be ten.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Man.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Just it's gotten any more. It's gotten any.

Speaker 3 (14:57):

it away.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, well wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Have you guys heard? I'm glad we brought that was

burned out on Aerosmith. Some Erolsmith. When you work in
rock radio and you have to play come Together and
sweet Emotion.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Every free get burned out of my life without hearing that.

he went viral during the Black Sabbath Reunion for doing
the cover of Changes during that concert.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Let's get to the vocals. It's just good stuff.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, it's not man, it's good stuff.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
Sounds a little I hate to be I like Aerosmith
as much as anybody, but he sounds a little over overdubbed.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
There might might be this is this topic on q BRO.
Hang on, wait a minute, this just in Steven Tyler's
Catholic What about Now can we talk about well, you know.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
What, let's talk about aerosmith Now I knew that. All right, No, stop,
you've got to talk about it without getting crazy.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
I can't. Can I just leave the room.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Just back away from the mic for a second. I
want you to take some more lines main or don't. Okay,
one more foot? Yeah, that's good. It has gotten to
the point now where it is like a high school
cafeteria in a bunch of girls screaming at each other.
Jefferson County Public School official says financial crisis was not

(18:35):
hidden from the board. Of course, the last couple of
days the school board said, we didn't know anything about this,
and this was hidden from us for years. Marty Polio
never mentioned it. We're going to be under or over
over under over one hundred and eighty eight million dollars
of the two point two billion dollar budget that JCPS has.

(18:56):
So now everyone from the former administration is coming back
and saying no, no, no, no no. We told them that
there was going to be an issue there, that that's
a lie, that's not We told them that there was
going to be construction. They're blaming construction costs or on
some of the schools and insurance hikes.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
Well, you know there's other options for roofs on new schools,
like I don't tile and stuff like that instead of
fourteen carre of gold roofs.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Because I brought it up. I brought the geo thermals
floors up in the new schools to one of the
people at JCPS and they're like, you don't even get it, man,
those things that that's going to get us into the future.
And I'm like, yes, they tell you that, like in
solar panels in twenty years, it might pay for itself
in twenty years. So today, when you have a budget crunch,

(19:49):
you're going to put you're spent And look they did.
They spent three times what they they could have spent
on schools to build these schools. And geo thermal floors
are one of.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yeah, an af fairness. Do you know why I didn't
get good Take two?

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Let me take some lines, man, hang.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
On, lions, mean's gonna be the new thing?

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Oh wow, that's good.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Okay, Hey Tony yesh On, Hey Dwight. You know why
I didn't get good grades in school? Why the floors
weren't heated, We didn't have geothermal floors.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
They're just too cold on your feet.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
Seas if it wouldn't have been for that, I would
have excelled in school. So at this point, right Coach
Joe Freshley, at least.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
They were on the same page of destroying our schools.
Now they're pointing a finger at each other. And the
only one that really hasn't out is the new guy.
The new guys like I just had nothing to do
with me, So we'll figure it out. But no, this
is on you guys.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Okay, outside of Frankfurt in a general assembly saying okay,
that's enough and taking over. What's the solution? Because the
Van House Center might as well be keats on a bull.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
They're worthless.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
Uh, you've got you've got quadruple high six figure salaries
at the Van Whose Center.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
None of the money gets to the teachers. I never.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
That's the killer of all of this is our tax
our property taxes. At some point, we're just gonna have
to work just to pay JCPS property taxes.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Look at your paycheck stub.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
They're yanking money out of your paycheck and yet we're
dead last in education.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Well they want to they want more taxes on top
of that.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Throwing money money is not okay.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
You asked, You asked, so I will tell you. I
think it's time for Robert Stuivers, the President, President of
the Senate in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. They've been talking
about it for years. I think this is a perfect
opportunity to step in and go. You all are yelling
at each other. The board is blaming the former superintendent

(21:59):
to superintend and said we never lied. Everyone else that's
underneath them, that are Marty, that is still there saying
we told them that this was happening. The board is
acting like we didn't even know this was coming and
these cuts are gonna hurt us so bad. I think
this is a perfect opportunity for Robert Stuivers and everyone
in Frankfurt to finally say to the kids at JCPS,

(22:19):
not the students, but the kids on the board and
the superintendents in their entire office, enough enough, it's time
for adults to take over.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Okay, now I'm going to be guilty of it.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
I'm gonna bring up the Catholic education system and we'll
use and we use Trinity.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
We use Trinity as an example.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Hmm.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
What is a treaty education for high school around fifteen
grand sixteen.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Fifteen to sixteen seventeen grand.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
By comparison, I would imagine the JCPS is at least
eighteen thy maybe twenty per student if the budget is
two billion, double the size of the city of But
yet for less money, Catholic schools get a far superior
education and a far superior product.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Well, yes, you are correct. There are some students because
they break out elementary.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
It's not it's not a financial reason. The reason we
were Our students are graduating graduating. By the way, notice
that graduating with a thirty percent reading proficiency and math
is getting worse, but yet they're graduating. Somehow, they're failing.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
They break out the students from elementary, middle school, and
high school, and how much it cost per student, and
it bounces between twelve and twenty four thousand dollars per
student for JCPS. It is a gross, gross amount of
money that JCPS just believes they can use for whatever
they want and it needs I'm sorry, I never thought

(23:53):
I would say this. I would I never wanted Frankfort
to come into this town and start taking over things.
And I know Greenberg is probably are going to agree
with those folks, but I'm sorry, it's time time. It's
time for adults to take over, and we are tired
of all the parents and teachers to be held hostage
by the board and the superintendent. It's over and it's

(24:16):
time to stop pretending this isn't a disaster.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
And that's one of the most disgusting things about it
is we've got some great teachers out there. This is
not I'm not condemning the teachers that worked there. I'm
condemning the entity that is JCPS because I've got several friends,
even family members that are teachers. My frustration is the
money's not getting to the teachers. No, teachers don't get
paid for, especially for what the board is requiring them

(24:42):
to get put up with students, kicking them, you know,
bad mouthing them, all kinds of stuff on a daily basis.
But yet somehow, every single it seems like every single year,
they're asking for a increase on our property taxes.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
I wish we to do a blind survey of the students,
not done by Jefferson County Public Schools. I wish it's
another firm can come in and survey the teachers because
they're so afraid because the last administration was very vindictive.
If you spoke out of what was happening in the classroom,

(25:21):
there were repercussions to that. And there's nobody that's going
to argue with me or us for saying that, because
that's what happened. If you could have a company from
the outside, they do outside audits all the time. Well,
I'll audit the teachers and ask them what's wrong with
your classroom and see what answers you get back and

(25:42):
get the percentages of it. If seventy eighty percent of
the students are saying or teachers are saying the exact
same thing, I don't know what to say, but we
got to stop pretending. Look, if they're going to be
a disaster, you go, okay, they're a disaster, But you
can't be two point two billion dollars in a disaster

(26:04):
when Indianapolis, Nashville, Cincinnati do it for less.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
And as a taxpayer, you need to be paying attention
because here's something that never played less. By the way,
here's happened, here's something that never happens with government. Oh,
we got JCPS back on track, we're gonna need less money.
So next year you're gonna get less money taken from
your property taxes. That never happens. Once they increase, the
continue to increase, continue. I wish that the voters could

(26:33):
vote on this instead of a board of idiots.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
The University of Kentucky and University of Louisville board of
directors are appointed. The school boards are appointed by the governor.
They need to switch that instead of voting in the
board for JCPS, they need to be appointed and they
and that's the law. That and with the supermajority, I
think they could get that done and have a board

(26:58):
appointed by and let's be honest, we'll probably be the
last Democrat governor in the Commonwealth for quite some time.
The numbers, I'm not talking about policy. I'm talking about
the numbers. Kentucky has flipped from a democratic state to
a Republican state, and the numbers the last election, the
numbers for people that are switching parties was over the

(27:20):
top and it was all Democrat to a Republican. It's
overwhelming for a Democrat to win if he's outside Lexington
and Louisville. It's just a republican state now. So they
could have a Republican governor that will appoint a board
that will make some sense. But this latest dust up
is just as embarrassing as the school bus dust up

(27:43):
from a couple of years ago. It's not less embarrassing
where the board is pointing the fingers at the rest
of JCPS and saying, we didn't know anything about this.
What could it be our fault because we didn't know anything.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Let me ask you a question, what would happen in
a fortune five hundred company. All of a sudden it
came out. You know what we lost? We can't find
one hundred and eighty eight million dollars. You think some
heads would.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Roll or you knew the federal dollars were gonna dry up.
They told you here's the step down plan from all
of the insane COVID money handed to everyone for several years.
The city's dealing with that now. Also, there was a
lot of programs they implemented knowing that that money would

(28:30):
go away. It's frustrating, to say the least. All right,
short break, but I want to what's not frustrating is
trade noak Well, what's frustrating is trying to find a
place sometime for your parents or for you to live
when you turn sixty five, and you want to be
in the community trade and Oak Towers. I need you

(28:51):
to go and take a tour, okay, because pretty much
it's third Oak. It's about a block from Saint James's Court,
right to beautiful bars.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
What I want my mom?

Speaker 3 (29:05):
I'm not old enough yet unless we get fake ideas
to get in Trade Oak Towers.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Right, but what if we move our moms.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
In right whenever we visit. Yes, we can take advantage
of all the amenities.

Yes, that's what I'm talking.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
They have four restaurants, four ballrooms and indoor movie theater,
two bars, a rooftop bar. They've got it all going
on and Trading Oak Towers. The average employee works there
fourteen years. Their nonprofit. They're not driven by corporate greed.
Trading Oak Towers is a nonprofit. It's a beautiful facility

(29:38):
and it's perfect for you. Five eight nine thirty two eleven.
Call five eight nine thirty two eleven, say I want
a tour. If you take the tour, you'll.

like dararn tutin, hang on one second, sputting near my

of vehicle, and they back it up. They back it

job they do. Put your mind at rest. Go louivis best.
