00:05:58 Della
Space at all, no.
00:06:00 Kevin

00:06:01 Della
Yup. Where?
00:06:02 Della
Well, I'll tell you, we're gonna have.
00:06:06 Della
A appreciation cookout for all the supporters and donate the donators you know they 'cause I remember you remember I asked for.
00:06:16 Della
I tried to get 300 people to donate $10 a month.
00:06:20 Kevin
I I remember that.
00:06:21 Della
Yeah.
00:06:22 Della
And somehow we, we we had AI.
00:06:25 Della
Think 30 people.
00:06:28 Della
Uh have come through and and and have done donations, but about 5 or 6 have done it on a regular regular basis, you know 30.
00:06:38 Kevin
Gotcha. We do. Yeah, we do.
00:06:39 Della
39.
00:06:40 Kevin
Set you.
00:06:40 Kevin
With like an atrial.
00:06:41 Kevin
How do you? Do you have any system like that in place?
00:06:44 Della
Yeah, but they donate.
00:06:45 Della
They they do not donate it automatically and it comes, yeah, it comes to.
00:06:48 Kevin
OK. And you have a system for people to set that up or do you kind of walk through each donor through? How to set it up?
00:06:50 Della
Me.
00:06:58 Della
What note?
00:06:59 Kevin
Like if I'm if I'm.
00:07:00 Kevin
Donor. Yes. And I come to you and I said tell I want to donate $10 a month.
00:07:04 Kevin
What do you do you?
00:07:04 Della
Yeah.
00:07:06 Kevin
Say, hey, Kevin, let's work with your bank and I'll show you how to do it.
00:07:09 Kevin
Do you have a form that I fill out?
00:07:10 Della
No, they do it on their own. And the bank, whatever the bank and.
00:07:15 Kevin
So I would go to my bank and say, hey, this is the account the Della gave me that she wants me to.
00:07:16 Della
Trying to think.
00:07:17 Della
Yeah.
00:07:18 Della
I'm trying, yeah.
00:07:21 Kevin
The money into.
00:07:22 Della
Yeah, I yeah, I believe it is.
00:07:24 Della
I'm trying to think of the name of the.
00:07:26 Della
The.
00:07:27 Della
The ones that I have that come often can't think of the name of it, but it comes automatically in a check book like that.
00:07:36 Kevin
Oh, come on a check. OK, I was gonna say umm.
00:07:37 Della
Yes, yes, yes.
00:07:40 Kevin
So like they use their online bill pay.
00:07:44 Kevin
Either way.
00:07:44 Della
That could.
00:07:44 Della
I bet it.
00:07:45 Kevin
Yeah. I was just saying I had a a A.
00:07:45 Della
I bet that's it, yeah.
00:07:47 Kevin
That once she set up for her and her husband every month before the 1st of the month, I would get a check in my mailbox and so it was. Yeah, I was gonna say well, so maybe we'll show you how to use Patreon at some point or one.
00:07:50 Della
Yes.
00:07:53 Della
Yeah, that really helps too.
00:08:01 Kevin
Those different websites, I don't know how they treat non for profits.
00:08:03 Della
And that's.
00:08:03 Kevin
I can't imagine they would be different but.
00:08:06 Kevin
So so Patreon is like it's like a website that like a creator or something on YouTube would use, and people use it for all sorts of stuff, not just YouTube.
00:08:14 Della
Yeah. OK.
00:08:15 Kevin
Like if you have a podcast.
00:08:16 Kevin
If you have an event, if you have something you're trying to do, you can offer people the ability to make.
00:08:22 Kevin
Monthly donations, or one time donations. So if you subscribe to somebody on Patreon, you can, like we have one on ours and I think it's like a $5.00 a month minimum and it allows people to sign up. And because I'm so controversial, we've had 0 Patreon.
00:08:32 Della
All right.
00:08:35 Della
Yeah.
00:08:39 Kevin
Patrons on Patreon. Since we've started it, what, like 8 years ago? But it's one of those. It's amusing.
00:08:42 Della
Ash.
00:08:45 Kevin
So, but somebody like yourself who can draw.
00:08:49 Kevin
In $1020.00 a month, you know donations on the regular. Also being a non for profit. You know this way I think it would be a good way for you to automatically do it.
00:08:59 Kevin
Sign people up and we'll work with you on getting that set up. Cool and then.
00:09:04 Kevin
Our website just went Live Today.
00:09:05 Della
I'll think about that.
00:09:07 Della
Really cool. Awesome.
00:09:08 Kevin
Well.
00:09:09 Kevin
So life22studios.com. So what I can start doing is that for local local events and stuff. And recently because now we are the new news channel for.
00:09:10 Della

Mm.
00:09:21 Della

00:09:22 Kevin
Well, it's kind of a self-proclaimed title because we don't have, there's nobody else.
00:09:27 Kevin
What are the news?
00:09:28 Kevin
You know that comes out of olymp.
00:09:29 Della

00:09:48 Kevin
They'll do little news excerpts, and they'll be on their.
00:09:51 Kevin
But I don't really think that that we only it really doesn't have a news station.

Program a program program on Bob Marley and packed the house and we we were at St.

00:12:18 Kevin
I I do.
00:12:19 Kevin
Know my Bob Marley like I know the the what? The He let cancer spread to his leg rather than have it cut off.
00:12:26 Kevin
Is that what it was?
00:12:27 Della
I don't know.
00:12:27 Della
I don't know.
00:12:29 Della
I don't.
00:12:29 Della
I didn't know that.
00:12:30 Kevin
It.
00:12:31 Kevin
There was something like.
00:12:31 Della
Ha ha.
00:12:33 Kevin
That's why he passed away from, like, a cancer that they could have removed by cutting off a limb.
00:12:37 Kevin
Maybe this is hearsay and Pat will.
00:12:38 Della
Yeah, yeah, I don't think.
00:12:38 Kevin
Correct me.
00:12:40 Kevin
But that was because of his.
00:12:42 Kevin
He didn't want to be in heaven without a limb and and I I remember hearing that when I, I mean, I've been hearing that since I was.
00:12:43 Della
OK, alright.
00:12:46 Della
Oh wow.
00:12:51 Kevin
Yeah, but in the extended, my Bob Marley is I whistle 3 little birds.
00:12:55 Della
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:55 Kevin
Yes. So when I'm putting my chickens away at night, I actually like whistle and start singing the verses from three little birds 'cause they're throwing my door step.
00:13:02 Della
You feel right?
00:13:04 Della
Yeah, you get better rates that way too.
00:13:05 Kevin
There, and they're so wise and true and.
00:13:07 Della
A catch you.
00:13:07 Kevin
And I stuff them into their coupon.
00:13:11 Kevin
There's nothing wise about a dead bird, so.
00:13:14 Della
Oh, Kevin.
00:13:15 Kevin
What do you want to get?
00:13:16 Kevin
You got to put em away at night because they'll hang out all night.
00:13:19 Kevin
They'll just be like I like it outside.
00:13:19 Della
Oh good.
00:13:20 Kevin
It's nice out, you know, even in a crisp winter night, they want to stay outside.
00:13:24 Kevin
And the downside to that is that they.
00:13:27 Kevin
There's still raccoons that get hungry, you know.
00:13:28 Della
And be careful.
00:13:29 Kevin
And then they eat them up and they drag them to the neighbor's yard and nobody wants.
00:13:30 Della
Yeah.
00:13:34 Kevin
Chicken in their yard now. So wow.
00:13:38 Della
So how do we get over there?
00:13:39 Della

00:15:01 Della
Until 1:30 to 3:30, it's only two hours and everybody comes and suddenly.

Only two hours. You party animals over.
00:15:09 Della
And we bring music to share with everybody, and we all play.
00:15:12 Della
Yeah. As I said, no.
00:15:15 Della
There's something it's taken off MM martimer.
00:15:19 Della
Mortimer has was the the one who's.
00:15:23 Kevin
Start again.
00:15:23 Della
Developed.
00:15:23 Della
Yeah, it's really cool.
00:15:24 Kevin
That's cool.
00:15:25 Kevin
So how do you you have a Facebook page?
00:15:28 Della
Yes. Yeah, the center has this. I I have a Facebook page, but I don't tend to because I'm there all the time.
00:15:30 Della
Well.
00:15:34 Kevin
Yeah. Well, you.
00:15:34 Della
I feel I feel young.
00:15:35 Kevin
You send a lot of you send a lot of stuff from the center.
00:15:37 Della
Yes, I do.
00:15:38 Kevin
Yes, yes, sometimes it seems accidental like it's your own, like you know.
00:15:43 Kevin
Sometimes it's for the center and sometimes like.
00:15:47 Kevin
I called.
00:15:47 Kevin
What was it right after the election? 'cause you you made a post?
00:15:50 Kevin
Facebook. I was like, Oh my God. Dell, are you OK?
00:15:53 Della
Oh yes, that's right. That's right.
00:15:54 Kevin
Yeah. And so that was probably intended for your personal Facebook.
00:15:56 Della
Right, Yep.
00:15:58 Della
No it.
00:15:59 Della
It was for, it was the center. Yes, because no 'cause we were. We're we're not OK, you know. Well, no, we said we are good to political. Political. Yeah, but no, that's a shock and a half. What, that half. Yeah, yeah.
00:16:01 Della
OK.
00:16:09 Kevin
OK.
00:16:10 Kevin
That's fine, but then.
00:16:14 Kevin
So that's why I figured it was your own personal.
00:16:15 Della
Oh God bless.
00:16:17 Kevin
But I saw after you explained it to me, I was like oh, so I was like I so.
00:16:19 Della
Yes.
00:16:22 Kevin
Either way, we so you have a Facebook.
00:16:23 Della
All right, OK. Yes I do.
00:16:25 Kevin
You have a Twitter blue sky.
00:16:29 Della
LinkedIn. You know, I I I'm like this over my head trying to get the grants and.
00:16:37 Della
What?
00:16:39 Della
Financial things and audits and all of that.
00:16:42 Della
I you know, I met my granddaughter.
00:16:44 Della
Care of the center's.
00:16:46 Della
Page gotcha. Yeah. OK.
00:16:47 Della
Yeah, she's the.
00:16:47 Kevin
There you go.
00:16:49 Della
She's the.
00:16:51 Kevin
It guy.
00:16:51 Della
Yes. Oh my gosh.
00:16:53 Della
Asked her.
00:16:54 Della
How do you know all this?
00:16:57 Della
Oh, I just fiddled around until I found out, she said.
00:17:00 Della
Good. She's so good.
00:17:02 Kevin
I that's what I that's.
00:17:03 Kevin
We just got into.
00:17:04 Della
I know what I begun.
00:17:06 Kevin
It's just.
00:17:07 Kevin
Going down this rabbit hole with all this, you know, since we redid the studio, it's like we just got put on transistor.
00:17:13 Della
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:14 Kevin
We.
00:17:14 Kevin
Now you can catch us on spot spot.
00:17:16 Della
Really, my bad, Bevin.
00:17:17 Kevin
Yes. Now people can be like della's on Kevin's podcast.
00:17:20 Kevin
Go listen to Della.
00:17:21 Kevin
You can listen to us on on Spotify, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Apple Podcast.
00:17:27 Della
Look at this.
00:17:28 Kevin
And I feel like there's more.
00:17:30 Della
I know about.
00:17:31 Della
I know, I know, iHeartRadio. Pandora's fantastic.
00:17:34 Della
Yeah.
00:17:35 Della
Not music, OK.
00:17:35 Kevin
Yeah.
00:17:35 Kevin
So yeah, then the the Google podcast so that we're on an index and then and then you can still.
00:17:41 Kevin
It on YouTube.
00:17:42 Kevin
So if people want to see yours or my shining.
00:17:43 Della
Mm.
00:17:44 Kevin
We can.
00:17:48 Della
This is awesome. This is awesome.
00:17:49 Kevin
Yeah. So that's.
00:17:50 Della
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:51 Kevin
Well, that the reason I bring it up because it's like, you know, with all this technology, it's like, where's the one place like we just released our website and it's like I'd like to get a calendar on there, right.
00:18:00 Della
OK.
00:18:00 Kevin
So what's you know what I mean? Like. But it's like with you guys like you put all your.
00:18:04 Kevin
On Facebook.
00:18:06 Kevin
So that you.
00:18:06 Kevin
Get the word out, yes.
00:18:07 Della
OK. Yeah. Yes.
00:18:09 Kevin
'Cause that's how a lot of people are nowadays, like I know.
00:18:12 Kevin
Like with anything, if you were just to like, take the pulse of how people are feeling or where people are going. Sometimes social media isn't the best way, right?
00:18:21 Kevin
You were saying who's going to della's event and you looked at all the attendees. You might not see a ton.
00:18:27 Kevin
But what happens is a lot of people get their news and their event postings and all the things that they might do, they get that from social media.
00:18:34 Kevin
So like I might go to your event, but I didn't mark that I was going on social media.
00:18:40 Della
Right. I see, yeah.
00:18:40 Kevin
And so like.
00:18:41 Kevin
Sometimes determining the pulse of how something is gonna go by looking at social media might not be accurate, but then sometimes.
00:18:50 Kevin
You know, but you got the word out there, right?
00:18:53 Kevin
That's why advertisers put a lot of money.
00:18:55 Kevin
Social media.
00:18:56 Kevin
Because and. So for the same reason, we want to advertise and get.
00:18:59 Kevin
Events out there.
00:19:01 Kevin
OK.
00:19:01 Della
You know these and I do a lot of e-mail.
00:19:02 Kevin
And that's why.
00:19:06 Della
And snail mail you.
00:19:07 Della
OK.
00:19:08 Della
So yeah, but some people like that.
00:19:09 Kevin
I've got your snail mail before.
00:19:10 Della
Yep. Yeah. A lot of people don't like.
00:19:14 Della
That e-mail thing.
00:19:14 Kevin
I don't get yours as much as local.
00:19:16 Kevin
You know guys that used to live in town that send prison letters to us, but.
00:19:24 Della
I love you, Kevin. You know I.
00:19:25 Della
Yeah.
00:19:25 Kevin
You know that, right?
00:19:29 Della
Yeah, but yeah, so that's that's what I do and I and the list of people I have.
00:19:36 Della
Everybody who sent sent us donations and support us in different ways.
00:19:40 Kevin
So you have like a mailing.
00:19:41 Della
I've got all this and yeah, and I just type in it.
00:19:43 Kevin
OK.
00:19:46 Della
If they don't like e-mail, then I'll, I'll.
00:19:51 Della
I'll text them.
00:19:52 Della
They don't like texting. Then I snail mail, yeah.
00:19:55 Kevin
You are very accommodating.
00:19:57 Della
Well, no, I you don't know how much I appreciate the support.
00:20:01 Della
I mean, not just the money. Although money is, you know, we really need, but just to support say, hey, I I liked your program. I I do.
00:20:05 Della
Right, you get it.
00:20:11 Della
I'm coming to your program.
00:20:12 Della
That means a lot.
00:20:14 Della
Means a lot.
00:20:15 Della
He does.
00:20:16 Della
Yeah.
00:20:18 Della
And I got a call from one of the.
00:20:22 Della
My connection like networking and my friends in Buffalo who was here. They did a lot of they did 1-2 I think 3 June 1-2 Juneteenth and one Black Heritage weekend.
00:20:36 Della
They they were here to do that. I'm trying to get him to come.
00:20:40 Della
To also do, he's drumming.
00:20:43 Della
African drama and he talks about, you know, the drums and what and history all the way through.
00:20:50 Della
I'm trying to get him to come back.
00:20:52 Della
So yeah, he's from Buffalo.
00:20:52 Kevin
Where's he?
00:20:53 Kevin
He from.
00:20:54 Della
He's he's involved in the in the Buffalo Juneteenth, now the Buffalo Juneteenth is like sometimes a week long.
00:21:01 Della
Really.
00:21:01 Della
They got black history and and and all of that connected to the Juneteenth and and Jamestown used.
00:21:07 Della
Be that.
00:21:08 Della
I'm not sure how they are now.
00:21:11 Della
But we.
00:21:16 Della
Dreams is to have a parade.
00:21:20 Della
To go from the mall.
00:21:23 Della
And yes, I still like them all.
00:21:25 Della
Yes, to go.
00:21:25 Della
OK.
00:21:26 Kevin
To I I I am not anti law.
00:21:30 Kevin
I don't have a problem with them all. I don't shop them all.
00:21:33 Kevin
I don't do shopping, so like June takes my Marshall's card and she takes the Kohl's card and the Penny's card.
00:21:40 Kevin
She.
00:21:41 Kevin
She's the one who does all that. So she goes to the mall more than I do.
00:21:41 Della
Yeah.
00:21:44 Della
Well, I'll say that foot.
00:21:46 Della
Visitors out there now because. Yeah, and I'm not giving a chance, OK?
00:21:47 Kevin
Right, right.
00:21:48 Kevin
I'm sure there's a lot of people out there in TV Land that don't like them all, but yeah, but you're also checking the pulse on the haters of Facebook, remember?
00:21:56 Della
Yeah.
00:21:56 Kevin
Not a.
00:21:57 Kevin
It's not a good.
00:21:58 Kevin
To check, because there's probably more, there's that.
00:22:02 Kevin
Try not to be political, but there's the we are dancing around it, but there is that there is that quote from a former President Richard Nixon, that the silent majority is out there. And that is true in a lot of regards that you're not going to.
00:22:03 Della
Yeah, we I see we're dancing around.
00:22:17 Kevin
That's why the pulse of Facebook is almost like an actualization of that.
00:22:22 Kevin
Because if you look at Facebook, people are gonna say, well, this person's not gonna win an election.
00:22:25 Kevin
Or the mall stinks.
00:22:27 Kevin
Or this or that. And then if you actually go see.
00:22:32 Kevin
The the mall. And you know there's there's a lot more people that go to the mall than Facebook would lead you to believe.
00:22:38 Kevin
Yeah. So that's where the pulse is inaccurate. When you look at stuff.
00:22:42 Kevin
Like that. But if you're trying to advertise something like we're doing this at the mall, we're doing this or we're doing that then.
00:22:48 Kevin
You know, social media is a good place to advertise.
00:22:50 Kevin
You're gonna see all the haters pop up on those comments, but at least then you're gonna see and be able to judge based on.
00:22:57 Kevin
Pulse but.
00:23:00 Kevin
Hey, little rabbit hole. So what?
00:23:00 Della
What's on?
00:23:01 Della
Yeah, right. Yep. OK.
00:23:02 Kevin
We doing at the mall.
00:23:04 Kevin
You love them all.
00:23:04 Della
Yeah.
00:23:05 Della
So I'd like to have it, you know, we'll set up at the mall, you know, and many I went everybody who who would like to come in to do it.
00:23:14 Della
And have a black history all the way down with the with the whatever wagons you can do and all and go down.
00:23:25 Della
Come down Union Street all the way down Union Street.
00:23:28 Della
All the way up to the four corners and then over over to Barry St. and all the time we're pointing out the different.
00:23:40 Della
Historical places, you know, and then to the center and then well, by that time it'll be big enough that we can have it at the JCC Juneteenth at JCC, something like that.
00:23:52 Kevin
There you go.
00:23:53 Della
OK.
00:23:54 Della
So all those people.
00:23:54 Kevin
So you want to operate a parade in?
00:23:57 Della
Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's that's one of my dreams one day.
00:24:01 Della
Yeah. Yes.
00:24:03 Della
On that, yes.
00:24:04 Della
Oh. Oh, and I might add.
00:24:05 Kevin
Why is it that hard to one day? It sounds like it'd be pretty easy.
00:24:10 Kevin
Is it? You don't think they were picking up?
00:24:10 Della
I gotta get the people. I gotta get the people together.
00:24:12 Della
Right now I'm doing right.
00:24:16 Della
With many.
00:24:17 Della
Balancing many.
00:24:20 Della
Paulson. Yeah. What do you call it?
00:24:22 Della
Juggling. Yeah, yeah.
00:24:25 Kevin
Well, this is a good venue.
00:24:26 Kevin
Be able to see this.
00:24:27 Della
Mm.
00:24:28 Kevin
Delanito.
00:24:29 Della
OK, cool.

I like talking to customer service representatives.
00:25:40 Della
Oh yeah, it's so cool.
00:25:42 Kevin
Yeah, but you can make somebody in Nebraska laugh for no reason.
00:25:43 Della
I don't.

Isn't that?
00:25:46 Della
That's a way. Cool.

00:26:40 Della
Oh man.
00:26:41 Kevin
I have my lock down in.
00:26:42 Kevin
I don't let them get their iPads as much as they would love to have them stapled to their faces.
00:26:49 Kevin
That's.
00:26:49 Della
And not yet. That's, and I feel like he wants, you know.
00:26:51 Kevin
I try to break them.
00:26:52 Kevin
I.
00:26:53 Kevin
I try to break them into their habit.
00:26:54 Kevin
I'm just guilty of it though, but.
00:26:57 Kevin
Beaumont.
00:26:57 Della
But in case in point iPads OK, one of the things that when whenever I talk about talk to people about I'm a youngsters about.
00:27:10 Della
Talking to the their older members of their family, you know, I asked them, I said please ask them questions, talk to them.
00:27:19 Della
They have a.
00:27:20 Della
Ask them a question and I'm not talking about asking them like this.
00:27:24 Della
Yeah, mom.
00:27:25 Della
What grandma way say OK, yeah, alright.
00:27:27 Della
Yeah, I got it, grandma. OK, I got it.
00:27:30 Della
Talking about look at him talking.
00:27:31 Kevin
Hey guy, contact.
00:27:32 Della
Yes, yes, yes.
00:27:33 Della
Bright.
00:27:34 Della
Ask him, be interested and be interested.
00:27:38 Della
Have a history.
00:27:39 Kevin
You're old school shy.
00:27:40 Della
Never done.
00:27:41 Kevin
You're you're old school, right? Because.
00:27:43 Della
How did how did you get old school style?
00:27:45 Kevin
Well, because here's the thing. Now kids are shy because they don't have any like developmental skills that they can pick up when they're younger. By looking at people's mannerisms, by making eye contact, seeing the smile, reading eyes, reading lips, these different things that they don't get because.
00:28:01 Kevin
Looking at a computer screen.
00:28:02 Kevin
And so like, where you say you're shy to them, you're like.
00:28:08 Kevin
You know an extrovert, you know, like to an introvert nowadays, you might be like an introvert, you know.
00:28:16 Kevin
Not of the Gen. Z variety. You know, like the.
00:28:19 Kevin
Because the new kids are all like they.
00:28:21 Kevin
You know, it's one of those like they they don't have any of the social skills so.
00:28:26 Kevin
Where you are shy.
00:28:29 Kevin
But like you would have been right if you didn't. If if, like if you if nobody, none of the kids had technology now, right.
00:28:37 Della
OK.
00:28:38 Kevin
Like you would come off as very shy, but because of the fact that, like their form of shy is almost like a recluse.
00:28:44 Kevin
You know, that's the like. We've gone a step further with and I think it's it's the phones, the screens, you know, 'cause they don't see and read those mannerisms on people's faces.
00:28:57 Della
I guess I.
00:28:57 Della
Never thought of it that way, yeah.
00:28:59 Kevin
Right, like like hard working 50 years ago was like you came in. You wouldn't.
00:29:05 Kevin
Any of this, I'm sorry.
00:29:07 Kevin
Like I'm overspeaking.
00:29:09 Della
Oh, no, no.
00:29:09 Kevin
I'm just kidding.
00:29:10 Della
That was an interesting look.
00:29:12 Kevin
Was it OK?
00:29:12 Della
Yes, it was. It wasn't.
00:29:13 Kevin
I know there was a.
00:29:14 Della
This.
00:29:14 Della
This is a watch out book. OK, OK. There you.
00:29:16 Kevin

I didn't know that was coming out.
00:29:21 Kevin

00:29:23 Kevin
So what?
00:29:24 Kevin
That was that, like, you know, 50 years ago when you went to work and you came back and you're you had blood coming from your hands like that was like light duty.
00:29:35 Kevin
Now you know what I.
00:29:36 Della
OK.
00:29:36 Kevin
Like you came back home with black Lung. Like that was, you know, from working in the coal mine like that was that was like light duty.
00:29:36 Della
Yeah, I'm getting. Yeah, I'm getting.
00:29:43 Kevin
Like, oh, that's it. Toughen up as you punch your husband in the shoulder after you just finished, like, you know.
00:29:50 Kevin
Making repairs on the House and raising all the kids and you know what? I.
00:29:53 Kevin
Nowadays, it's like if you if you get a hangnail at work like you had the toughest day like that is. That's the generational difference there.
00:30:03 Kevin
So like.
00:30:05 Della
Oh wow.
00:30:05 Della
Wow, I did not had it so good.
00:30:06 Kevin

Work, but it's just not to the same degree like hard work.
00:30:15 Kevin
Is what like. You know, sleeping was 50 years ago.
00:30:21 Della
You know, I remember when I first got my job, I like 7.
00:30:24 Della
Think it's $72 a week.
00:30:30 Della
Yeah, I think it was $72 week. And with those with that $72 I had, that was my take home pay with that $72 I gave my mom something to help with with the house.

00:31:50 Della
Oh, nice, nice, nice. Oh, yes.
00:31:54 Kevin
Miley wanted to.
00:31:56 Kevin
Quickly changed your mind. When we got down.
00:31:57 Kevin
Down there.
00:31:58 Della
Oh, why?
00:31:58 Kevin
Well, there was all that. She got to go see all this.
00:32:01 Della
It's it's packed and stuff, I know, but filth.
00:32:02 Kevin
She got to see all the she got to see all the the sights.
00:32:05 Della
Hmm.
00:32:07 Kevin
She refused to let me.
00:32:08 Kevin
I was like, you gotta go check out Kensington.
00:32:10 Kevin
She's like.
00:32:10 Della
No. Oh, no, that's not doing.
00:32:14 Della
That stop doing that, but yeah, yeah.
00:32:17 Kevin
I love the history of Philly.
00:32:18 Kevin
I just, you know, we went to the the deck we went to see.
00:32:21 Kevin
Declaration of Independence, OK.
00:32:23 Kevin
Behind the glass, the line was too long, so we get to see it from outside.
00:32:27 Kevin
But you know, I love the history of Philly sometimes.
00:32:29 Della
Hmm.
00:32:32 Kevin
Like when I first went there was like 2000 and.
00:32:35 Kevin
2012 OK 2013. I first went down there to visit a friend who I met up here and he moved back down there and went down there, do some electrical work and as soon as I pulled up it was like just tumbleweeds of garbage and.
00:32:39 Della
OK.
00:32:43 Della
OK.
00:32:48 Kevin
Was almost like there was a street sweeper, so it's always rubbed me the wrong way. It was Philly.
00:32:53 Kevin
I think Miley got that experience because her mom and I picked an Airbnb and it looked really nice online.
00:32:58 Della
Yeah. And then.
00:32:58 Kevin
You get there and it's like there's like cars on cinder blocks without like they took the tires out like.
00:33:04 Kevin
It's like does this somebody who lives here like we're on like a. And I thought we were on a Main Street or somewhere like.
00:33:10 Kevin
Was in.
00:33:10 Kevin
Nice neighborhood. But where was it?
00:33:15 Della
Did you go to North Philadelphia?
00:33:18 Kevin
I got that's a June question.
00:33:20 Della
OK.
00:33:20 Kevin
She would have to check her Airbnb to find out where we stayed.
00:33:22 Della
OK.
00:33:23 Kevin
Just remember driving through it and like kind of.
00:33:27 Kevin
OK.
00:33:28 Kevin
But.
00:33:29 Della
Why do you ask somebody who lived there?
00:33:33 Kevin
Because if I knew somebody would live there.
00:33:34 Kevin
Stay there.
00:33:37 Della
Stay in the house. I know. I mean. But I mean, I thought you were gonna say that.
00:33:40 Della
Didn't know anybody who lived there.
00:33:41 Kevin
I forgot.
00:33:41 Della
Looking right at me.
00:33:42 Kevin
I forgot you.
00:33:43 Kevin
I forgot you grew up.
00:33:44 Della
Yes, yes, yes, yeah.
00:33:47 Kevin
Sorry, next time I'll call you.
00:33:51 Kevin
I watched it till we sunny in.
00:33:51 Della
You speak loudly that.
00:33:53 Kevin
I figured I'd be able to figure it out.
00:33:55 Kevin
Like, stay away from Kensington, you know.
00:33:58 Della
Oh, yes, yeah. I'm. I'm. I'm sick.
00:34:00 Kevin
Which is funny because the guy I went to go visit, he lived down in like he was right off of Kensington. So like having to shoe people off his porch.
00:34:07 Kevin
Like which one is you?
00:34:07 Della
Yeah.
00:34:08 Kevin
He's like I'm the.
00:34:09 Kevin
I'm like, dude, there's guys on the front porch like smoking.
00:34:12 Della
Yeah.
00:34:13 Kevin
And he was like, no, it's not your fault.
00:34:14 Della
I'm so sorry about that.
00:34:16 Della
No, no, no. I'm. I'm, I'm. It hurts my heart.
00:34:18 Della
There that that is happening down here.
00:34:19 Kevin
You know, but it was like, so that was my first.
00:34:22 Kevin
Then I found out like. All right, you're not supposed to go to Kensington, and it stinks that that's where my buddy lived. And I had to do.
00:34:27 Kevin
Had to.
00:34:27 Kevin
Electrical job for I was.
00:34:28 Della
Oh wow.
00:34:29 Kevin
It was the first time I was hanging up my shingle, so June was mad.
00:34:29 Della
Wow, yeah.
00:34:32 Della
Awesome, yeah.
00:34:33 Kevin
Was like there's enough work in.
00:34:35 Kevin
And why are you driving down to? I was like, well, you know.
00:34:37 Kevin
A friend and he needs a hand.
00:34:38 Della
Yep, try to not send that.
00:34:39 Kevin
I I wasn't that.
00:34:40 Kevin
Yeah, it was brand new to actually doing work on my own. So I went down to get my hand and do some plumbing and.
00:34:47 Kevin
Some of this and some of that.
00:34:47 Della
Mm.
00:34:49 Kevin
He looked back at that old that work I used to do.
00:34:51 Kevin
I'm just like man.
00:34:52 Kevin
Could have done it so much better, but you know.
00:34:55 Kevin
But yeah, he took me to.
00:34:55 Della
Be very nice. Thank you.
00:34:56 Kevin
He took me to the Irish neighborhood, the Polish neighborhood we went to like we pretty much every nationality has a neighborhood.
00:34:58 Della
OK, alright.
00:35:02 Della
Oh, yes, absolutely, absolutely.
00:35:03 Kevin
And so we went there. And did, you know, had different types of, you know, cuisines? Oh yes.
00:35:08 Della
Oh.
00:35:10 Kevin
And then obviously.
00:35:10 Della
Oh yeah.
00:35:12 Della
Cheese steak.
00:35:13 Della
Absolutely. Which?
00:35:14 Della
Which one did you go?
00:35:15 Della
I mean, before when I was there, it's only two, but now.
00:35:16 Kevin
I went ahead like in.
00:35:19 Kevin
Yeah, 2000.
00:35:20 Kevin
I think I had like, I don't even remember.
00:35:22 Kevin
One I went.
00:35:22 Della
Uh huh.
00:35:23 Kevin
I.
00:35:24 Kevin
I don't.
00:35:24 Kevin
Which one? He took me to.
00:35:25 Kevin
Yeah, Podrick will probably mention the comments below which one it is.
00:35:30 Kevin
But which ones? He took me to.
00:35:32 Kevin
Would remember.
00:35:33 Della
Yeah.
00:35:34 Kevin
Miley and then see this is something that I ask her.
00:35:36 Kevin

00:35:38 Kevin
We went to this one off of we went.

00:35:44 Della
OK, fish town? Something like that. OK.
00:35:46 Kevin
Yes.
00:35:47 Kevin
So they have all these like contemporary like.
00:35:50 Kevin
Like.
00:35:50 Kevin
Like they took old docks and harbor sections of the city, and they like, revamped them and made them more like contemporary businesses.
00:35:58 Kevin
They did an art studio in one. OK, so that was kind of exciting.
00:36:02 Kevin
Then we were able to walk across this four lane highway.
00:36:06 Kevin
To the other.
00:36:06 Della
Yeah, right. Right.
00:36:07 Kevin
So we're underwater and we crossed over and then we went up one of the blocks and.
00:36:13 Kevin
There was like this small little bar, and there wasn't a line.
00:36:16 Della
Uh.
00:36:18 Kevin
You guys want Philly?
00:36:18 Kevin
You want cheese steaks before we leave.
00:36:20 Kevin
It was a long weekend, so it was like you want cheese steaks before we leave and they were like, OK. And so we went there and it wasn't like it wasn't like a Tony loops or on Oregon Ave. or something. Stuff I remember, yeah.

00:37:35 Kevin
It was a small little establishment.
00:37:36 Della
Yeah, I.
00:37:36 Kevin
It was nice. It was had that.
00:37:38 Kevin
You know just.
00:37:39 Kevin
You know, business trying to survive.
00:37:42 Della

00:37:47 Della
Allergies.
00:37:48 Della
We went in and they were my sisters were treating and stuff and so I'm. I'm enjoying the ambience, you know. Here we are in the crowd and everything and oh loving it. Every every minute of it. And they asked me you want cheese or cheese whiz I'm like.
00:38:05 Della
Huh. Cheese whiz?
00:38:07 Della
No, just no, no.
00:38:08 Kevin
Oh Gee whiz.
00:38:10 Della
Just kidding.
00:38:10 Della
No, it was different. And then of course they do.
00:38:13 Della
Now they lettuce tomatoes on it and stuff, yeah.
00:38:17 Kevin
Supposed to just be a steak and cheese, OK, do they add?
00:38:17 Della
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
00:38:21 Kevin
Is there is is onion in like you know like onions and Peppers. Is that like a?
00:38:23 Della

00:38:32 Della
Well, no.
00:38:33 Della
They can get Peppers and Jelly, Peppers and stuff. Yeah, you know. No, no.
00:38:34 Kevin
As soon as you start adding lettuce and tomatoes and things that you can't toast into it, right?
00:38:40 Kevin
Like you get caramelized onions on there.
00:38:42 Kevin
What I would say is anything that you, any vegetable that you can cook, saute, put on there, you know, mushrooms.
00:38:50 Kevin
Which isn't, which isn't a vegetable, but you know.
00:38:51 Della
Yeah, my.
00:38:53 Della
My sister loves mushrooms.
00:38:54 Della
Yes, she.
00:38:55 Della
She puts mushrooms on her.
00:38:56 Kevin
Right. But I I feel like as soon as you start adding.
00:38:59 Kevin
Items it's it's not a Philly cheese steak sandwich anymore.
00:39:03 Kevin
A sub.
00:39:03 Della
Yes, right.
00:39:04 Kevin
It's a cold cut sandwich like it's even if you toast it, it's still a sub, right?
00:39:07 Della
I can bear with him.
00:39:09 Kevin
It's not a subtle Philly cheese steak.
00:39:11 Kevin
Not a sub.
00:39:11 Della
No.
00:39:11 Kevin
OK, just to get.
00:39:12 Kevin
No.
00:39:14 Kevin

00:39:14 Della
It's not like in Philly. It's hoagie anyway.
00:39:15 Kevin

00:39:17 Della
You want a hoagie.
00:39:19 Della

00:39:20 Kevin
Right. So.
00:39:21 Della
That's your lettuce. Tomatoes. Your prevalent, not your.
00:39:25 Della
Your salami, your baloney and your ham. If you're lucky. If you want ham and cheese.
00:39:31 Kevin
If you're lucky, if you're lucky.
00:39:34 Della
I'm sorry I meant that was on step.
00:39:36 Kevin
Then I'll let you.
00:39:37 Kevin
Slice. They don't slice up pigs in the city.
00:39:39 Kevin
It's a.
00:39:41 Della

You know that's your hoagie. That's different.
00:39:46 Della
My hoagie with.
00:39:47 Della

00:39:48 Della
That's.
00:39:51 Kevin
Yeah, well.
00:39:51 Kevin

00:39:52 Della
Yeah. Uh huh.
00:39:57 Kevin
Want the cheese?
00:39:59 Kevin
It ain't a Philly cheese steak because they let you put lettuce and tomato, but that's what I'm saying. If you had some villain, banana Peppers or something like that, I feel like if you can saute it and it goes on hot and it can stay.
00:40:01 Della
That's right.
00:40:01 Della
That's right. That's right.
00:40:10 Kevin
And you could toast it with those on it. And I think that even olives, I think could get a pass, right. If you were to toast or saute the olives, think that you could get an.
00:40:12 Della
Mm.
00:40:20 Kevin

Sometimes the pickle, sometimes people like to add.
00:40:49 Della
Yes, fried pickle. They have fried Pickles.
00:40:51 Kevin
To everything.
00:40:53 Kevin
I don't mind if Pickle is a garnish.
00:40:55 Kevin
Yes, like at war on a burger.

Right. OK.
00:41:06 Kevin
Yes, because you don't want it to.
00:41:07 Kevin
Not a tomato.
00:41:09 Kevin
And then you've got. What's the other one?
00:41:13 Della
Hot dogs.
00:41:14 Kevin
Sweet relish.
00:41:16 Della
Yes.
00:41:16 Kevin
I'll do a sweet relish on a hot dog.

00:41:22 Kevin
Oh, I'm not a big fan of bread but butter.
00:41:24 Kevin
Pickles you ever had.
00:41:26 Kevin
Are really butter.
00:41:26 Della
Yes, I've had him, but I.
00:41:27 Kevin

You see the giant ones, the whales or whatever? They took a whole cucumber. It's like a squash. You like. Hey, you wanna try this, pumpkin that we pickled?

You gotta have the no brown mustard, OK?
00:42:16 Kevin
You've ever had Dijon mustard seeds.
00:42:19 Della
No, not the seeds, but I've had.
00:42:20 Kevin
They sell like a seed spread.

00:50:11 Kevin
Bisquick and cools.

Oh, OK, yeah.
00:50:35 Kevin
Because, like she grew up during it.
00:50:38 Della
Yeah.
00:50:38 Kevin
But at the same she lived through it.
00:50:41 Kevin
Like, but it was one of.
00:50:42 Della
Yes.
00:50:43 Kevin
Like her, my grandfather had three chest freezers full of bread.
00:50:48 Kevin
When the when they finally died and there was like 20 years of frozen bread in it, so they would freeze bread to save like $0.50 on the loaf or on 10 loaves, they'd say $0.50.
00:50:48 Della
They were prepared.
00:50:54 Della
Gabe.
00:50:59 Kevin
But they would spend 5 to $10 a month running a chest freezer.
00:51:02 Della
How?
00:51:03 Della
My gosh.
00:51:04 Kevin
So these things, which is these old arcade chest freezers? And it was like you saved a dollar, but you just spent 10 times that amount of money you could have bought the bread new every year. You could have had fresh bread every day.
00:51:15 Della
Oh my gosh. Oh.
00:51:18 Kevin

00:51:41 Kevin
I'm sure.
00:51:41 Kevin
I know frozen bread doesn't taste awesome, but I'm just surprising that, Oh my God, 20 year frozen bread does not like age better.
00:51:43 Della

Can I get to my part? Nothing.
00:52:45 Kevin

00:52:45 Della
I'm messing with you anyway, so I still have my.
00:52:48 Della
So I was a baby.
00:52:49 Della
I was born in 38.
00:52:52 Della
So I was a baby, so I still have my ration card.
00:52:56 Della
Really.
00:52:56 Kevin
Read.
00:52:56 Della
I have most of my ration card, yeah.
00:52:57 Della
You still?
00:52:58 Kevin
You still have it.
00:53:00 Della
Yeah, yeah, my, my, my, my, we we found it when I was. When I was leaving. Getting ready to get married and all that. And my mom said yes.
00:53:09 Della
And that's that's I got my little thing where it says like, how much sugar I can have and how much.
00:53:13 Della
Yeah, it's it and how it's gas and whatever else there was on a flour and butter and a lard and stuff like that, yeah.
00:53:20 Kevin
You gave a little bit so much gas.
00:53:23 Kevin
And then just the ration card just gave you the.
00:53:26 Kevin
To buy it.
00:53:27 Della
Yeah. No. Yeah, that that's what we had to.
00:53:28 Della
Like like Green samps, you know that you had that. That's what you give them when you came by. Yeah. Yeah.
00:53:33 Kevin
Give them with the money to buy.
00:53:36 Kevin
You needed to have the coupon to go with it.
00:53:37 Kevin
Couldn't just buy it because it wasn't available.
00:53:39 Della
That's, I don't think you could buy it out like.
00:53:42 Della
But you had to have your back.
00:53:44 Della
All you could buy.
00:53:45 Kevin
Right. So, right.
00:53:45 Della
Is that your car?
00:53:46 Kevin
Like like there's an egg crisis, right? Yes.
00:53:49 Kevin
Mom in Connecticut has called.
00:53:51 Kevin
She's like Kevin, send us eggs and I'm like, OK.
00:53:53 Della
Oh man.
00:53:54 Della
Oh wow.
00:53:56 Kevin
So I I she's like you can go some places and they're $8 a dozen. Oh my God.
00:54:03 Kevin
There are $8 a dozen and the stores that are selling them for eight, you're limited to two dozen per household.
00:54:10 Kevin
But then if you go to the place that doesn't limit you, it's $12.00 a dozen straight up.
00:54:15 Kevin
50% more.
00:54:16 Della
Mm.
00:54:17 Kevin
And I'm like Emma.
00:54:18 Kevin
I'll send you all the eggs you want.
00:54:20 Kevin
Was just paying for.
00:54:21 Della
I don't.
00:54:22 Kevin
I don't know how you.
00:54:22 Della
My gosh, how you could shave eggs.
00:54:24 Kevin
Well, I think you have a whole truck full of.
00:54:25 Della
Do.
00:54:27 Della
Well, yeah, that's the truckers.
00:54:29 Della
They they're all legs.
00:54:31 Della
Make it.
00:54:32 Kevin
Huh.
00:54:32 Kevin
They're they're all eggs in boxes. And I bet you have to watch out for the potholes on 86.
00:54:33 Della
Oh, that's right. Yes.
00:54:36 Della
Oh yeah, I just forgot I.
00:54:38 Della
I just came from Springville and Oh my gosh.
00:54:42 Della
Wow, that is just wow.
00:54:44 Della
Just.
00:54:45 Della
That's all I can say.
00:54:46 Kevin
Well, see, you're that tabby.
00:54:46 Della
You know, even if.
00:54:47 Della
Even if you even if you go slow.
00:54:50 Della
I had quite a caravan behind me with a convoy convoy behind me coming up 470.
00:54:58 Della
Yeah, I didn't go on 80.
00:55:00 Della
I'm 70.
00:55:00 Kevin
Oh, OK. I was going to.
00:55:01 Della
Yeah, no.
00:55:01 Kevin
See Kathy hokel.
00:55:02 Kevin
I'm just going to shout.
00:55:03 Della
Oh, you got.
00:55:05 Kevin
You're wow. And Bella.
00:55:06 Kevin
You're wowing to see, like nobody ever gets wows out of the roads.
00:55:11 Kevin
417 is still a state.
00:55:11 Della
Yeah, like boy 17.
00:55:12 Della
Yep, I.
00:55:13 Della
Still a.
00:55:13 Della
Oh my gosh, that would.
00:55:15 Della
And you know.
00:55:17 Della
Were some people that were so close I could.
00:55:19 Della
I couldn't even read their license.
00:55:22 Kevin
Because vehicle was.
00:55:22 Della
Yeah, that they were really.
00:55:24 Della
They were really close. Yeah. And I would go fast, yeah.
00:55:25 Kevin
Because you're coming into orbit.
00:55:27 Della
Oh my gosh.
00:55:28 Kevin
I wouldn't have been transporting.
00:55:30 Kevin
You would have lost the whole freight.
00:55:31 Della
Oh my gosh, no.
00:55:33 Kevin
Man, imagine you're a trucker driving from like Pittsburgh.
00:55:36 Kevin
Pittsburgh to Olin. And you're trying to get to the dollar. You're trying to get to a Dollar General, to drop off eggs for Walmart or whatever. And you just hit those bumps and it's like we just lost half the caravan of eggs.
00:55:47 Kevin
Crack, crack, crack. Crack.
00:55:49 Della
Do they pay for anything they damaged like that?
00:55:52 Kevin
The truckers, I'm sure they've.
00:55:52 Della
I mean, they can't.
00:55:53 Della
They can't help the road.
00:55:56 Kevin
I would assume there's probably some form of like a.
00:56:00 Kevin
Like if I were a trucker, I'd want to have some sort of like a like your accountant or your doctor.
00:56:05 Kevin
Well, your your your doctor has.
00:56:10 Kevin
Malpractice insurance, right?
00:56:12 Kevin
You're.
00:56:13 Della
We can have malpractice on the.
00:56:14 Kevin
Well, so your your accountant, your accountant would have errors and omissions insurance.
00:56:16 Della
That was account.
00:56:21 Kevin
So it's, you know and.
00:56:22 Kevin
Was actually something we're on your board.
00:56:25 Kevin
We were talking to your.
00:56:26 Kevin
It was something your board should have every year. Just being a member of a board, the board should try to generate some money to go towards an.
00:56:30 Della
Yeah.
00:56:34 Kevin
Insurance policy. So that's so that like if you say something, if you do something, if something you do causes the company to have an issue, right.
00:56:35 Della
Well.
00:56:45 Kevin
You or the non for profit to have an issue like you, you.
00:56:50 Kevin
File a return wrong, you sign something. You keep your meeting minutes wrong.
00:56:56 Kevin
This way you don't get sued, or if there's a big fine that comes for not keeping up on it, you can file the claim with the Eno insurance.
00:57:05 Della
And.
00:57:05 Kevin
So accounts will do it, so if.
00:57:05 Della
Yes.
00:57:06 Kevin
File.
00:57:07 Kevin
Taxes wrong if they're late and you have to pay a late fee depending on how bad the government gets that individual like they might just file a claim against the.
00:57:17 Kevin
So I'm guessing, sorry, we're done with a.
00:57:18 Della
Yeah.
00:57:19 Kevin
Hole a little tangent but.
00:57:19 Kevin
You.
00:57:21 Kevin
I would have surmised that they have some sort of like a casualty slash like.
00:57:26 Della
Oh yeah, our insurance is off. Off the charts, yeah.
00:57:28 Kevin
Or and it might have might be something to do with their like percentage too.
00:57:32 Kevin
If, like you know, 5% of the cargo should be.
00:57:36 Kevin
Considered to be to get damaged is just a contractual thing right? When you're going, one of those like.
00:57:42 Della
Yeah.
00:57:44 Della
Like when you tan bar.
00:57:45 Kevin
So.
00:57:45 Della
I've heard that there's certain spillage and so they allow certain.
00:57:51 Kevin
There's allowances, right?
00:57:51 Della
I heard that's one.
00:57:54 Della
Right, yeah.
00:57:55 Kevin
Well, then they they factor that.
00:57:56 Kevin
That's just from the the Bureau of Alcohol.
00:57:59 Della
Yes.
00:58:01 Kevin
The Board of Alcohol commissioning.
00:58:05 Kevin
The Bureau of.
00:58:05 Della
It's alcohol, tobacco and Oh no, not that one. Old Daisy. OK, so smart. Yeah, that's right.
00:58:09 Kevin
And firearms?
00:58:14 Kevin
Right. It's in New York State.
00:58:16 Kevin
It's back.
00:58:17 Kevin
Oh, wait, no, no, that's.
00:58:19 Kevin
It's just, it's just the off board, the alcohol board. OK, the alcohol Board, your back is.
00:58:24 Kevin
Alcohol content.
00:58:25 Kevin
That's what I'm saying.
00:58:26 Della
Oh, look at you.
00:58:26 Kevin
Yeah, that's yeah, the.
00:58:28 Della
Look at you, OK?
00:58:28 Kevin
That's that's what I'm screwing up all.
00:58:30 Kevin
But yeah, so they do allow you at the 8.
00:58:34 Kevin
AB.
00:58:35 Kevin
To have spillage. So this way when your sales are this much, you've only bought so much.
00:58:42 Kevin
You know what, I.
00:58:43 Kevin
Like they can say, hey, wait, based on your prices, we know that you're this this or that or they account for so much to be spilled and a lot of times they'll tax you based on how much alcohol you buy through the distributor and they'll double check it.
00:58:57 Kevin
The tilt. OK, wait a minute.
00:58:59 Kevin
According to their menu, they bought this much alcohol at, you know, the prices associated with each quantity or what type. They should have $4000, but they have $6000 in the till.
00:59:13 Kevin
And their other sales don't account for it, which means that they might be buying from a non registered vendor like you go down to the Beer store and you buy it.
00:59:20 Kevin
Or like.
00:59:23 Kevin
Or your till matches it is 4000 or it's 3800.
00:59:27 Kevin
Well, we're gonna go off your 3800 because we're also giving you a discount on here for allowable spillage.
00:59:32 Kevin
So if you have A and that's where it comes.
00:59:34 Kevin
So when they balance it, you have $3800 instead of 4000. They'll give you that, that percentage and they'll say, OK, that falls within the tolerances.
00:59:45 Kevin
And this is what you owe us on sales tax or alcohol tax or whatever special specialized taxes.
00:59:45 Della
That's, that's where it all ends at, yeah.
00:59:51 Della
Yeah, yeah.
00:59:53 Della
There was a whole lot of checks and balances that you know well.
00:59:56 Della
The government's got.
00:59:57 Kevin
To get their money, they don't have checks and balances on things that they don't tax.
01:00:01 Kevin
That's how it is, they.
01:00:04 Kevin
They're not going to come in with a system in place to do that.
01:00:07 Kevin
They don't make any money on it. Why would they?
01:00:09 Kevin
Why would they have a Better Business Bureau, right?
01:00:12 Kevin
They don't.
01:00:12 Kevin
They're not putting roofs on, they're not.
01:00:15 Kevin
Not dealing.
01:00:15 Kevin
It's not their house, right? That's.
01:00:18 Della
Ah, no, I've been when I was on the school board, they had.
01:00:23 Della
They had tickets, yeah.
01:00:23 Kevin
You were on the school board.

01:00:54 Della
Because of anything like that, I learned a lot and I I think we we did.

We did a lot, but I I have.
01:01:02 Della
Like this with all my stuff.
01:01:04 Kevin
No, I hear you. I got you.

And not do a good job.
01:01:11 Della
That's my thing.
01:01:11 Kevin
When were you on the school board?
01:01:15 Della
75 to 85 I think that's what the tongue. Yeah.
01:01:18 Kevin
Oh, so if you hear Ira Goldstein started on.
01:01:21 Kevin
School board.
01:01:22 Della
Was it?
01:01:23 Della
I'm just.
01:01:24 Della
No, no.
01:01:24 Kevin
I'm just kidding.
01:01:24 Della
That was mine was Dean. Walter. Norm. Norm, you tech.
01:01:26 Kevin
I'm just kidding.
01:01:30 Della
Who else was there with us?
01:01:33 Della
Yeah.
01:01:35 Della
Joyce Panko was the sister Superintendent and Marty was with Superintendent.
01:01:43 Della
Mary.
01:01:44 Della
Very fantastic young lady was a secretary.
01:01:50 Della
Mary Jacola was with.
01:01:52 Della
We we left at the same time.
01:01:54 Kevin
OK.
01:01:56 Della
And and.
01:01:58 Della
Neal teachman.
01:02:00 Kevin
Neil, teach me.
01:02:01 Della
Neal, not Steve Neal. Spot leaves, sees son.
01:02:03 Kevin
Steve's steves.
01:02:05 Kevin
OK.
01:02:05 Della
Yeah. And that's a nonmute attack.
01:02:11 Della
See what I said, you know?
01:02:13 Della
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.
01:02:16 Della
Was.
01:02:16 Della
It was good.
01:02:17 Della
Yeah, it was an education. I I.
01:02:23 Della
I recommend it for anybody, for I would because you do give a yeah.
01:02:27 Kevin
At least.
01:02:28 Della
So yeah, you give give back something.
01:02:31 Della
Just do your.
01:02:32 Della
That's the key thing to you.
01:02:34 Della
Not gonna please everybody.
01:02:35 Kevin
That's that is one of the issues I do hear that's coming up on the.
01:02:38 Kevin
Board so like.
01:02:40 Kevin
Like the one who's stepping down.
01:02:43 Kevin
Is Kelly Keller?
01:02:44 Della
OK.
01:02:45 Kevin
And I know Kelly and she like, like it's. I didn't realize how intense the school board was.
01:02:53 Kevin
I ran.
01:02:53 Della
Oh, you can't you.
01:02:54 Della
You're not gonna please everybody, that's.
01:02:55 Kevin
Well, you're not going to please.
01:02:57 Kevin
But the.
01:02:57 Kevin
Of time you have to put it.
01:02:58 Della
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
01:03:00 Kevin
She said.
01:03:01 Kevin
It's like 5 hours minimum.
01:03:04 Kevin
And then you have all the committees, which can be one to two hours a piece, and sometimes you're on five of.
01:03:08 Kevin
So it's like you've got 5 to 10 hours there and then you have two to five hours for the actual meeting. So you're anywhere between 5 and 15 hours a week on.
01:03:09 Della
Yeah, it's, it's a children.
01:03:17 Kevin
School board.
01:03:17 Della
4.
01:03:19 Della
It's like a job.
01:03:20 Kevin
Right. And and then and you don't get paid for?
01:03:21 Della
That's like that.
01:03:22 Kevin
So I'm just I'm I'm throwing this out there because there's people that are running and they think it's easy.
01:03:27 Della
No, it leave me.
01:03:28 Della
Not easy.
01:03:28 Kevin
And.
01:03:29 Della
Not easy.
01:03:29 Kevin
And so people get on it because they think.
01:03:31 Kevin
Can change.
01:03:33 Kevin
The school they think they can change.
01:03:35 Della
Search for.
01:03:36 Kevin
The problem is you're just kind of a steward.
01:03:39 Kevin
Is that? Does that sound like?
01:03:40 Della
Well, apprentice, let's say.
01:03:44 Della
Because Stuart, for what? You what you have what? You're in charge of.
01:03:47 Kevin
Right. You're a steward of the tax dollars.
01:03:48 Della
Yes, that's.
01:03:49 Della
Yes, yes, yes, that's it.
01:03:50 Kevin
But like any of the philosophy changes and stuff that all comes from the state.
01:03:52 Della
Yeah. Yes.
01:03:56 Kevin
You just you're just following the state's orders.
01:03:59 Kevin
You're just also helping at a local level steward the money.
01:04:02 Della
And don't forget the kids, please. Whoever's gonna go on the school board, please don't forget the kids.
01:04:09 Della
Gotta work through all that.
01:04:11 Della
State and all that other stuff and the shortness of money.
01:04:13 Della
Everything you gotta work through that.
01:04:16 Della
But keep in mind the kids.
01:04:17 Kevin
Right. It's for the kids.
01:04:19 Kevin
And that's and that's what I'm hearing though is it's like you want to make a change for the kids and it's not.
01:04:19 Della
That's it. That's it.
01:04:23 Kevin
You get on there and there's nothing you can really change for the kids. Like you're donating your time for the kids.
01:04:24 Della
That's a lot.
01:04:29 Kevin
But there's not a lot you can do on the school board anymore, especially in your state, because they've kind of they've tied your hands.
01:04:35 Kevin
Some laws.
01:04:36 Della
It's different from, yeah.
01:04:36 Kevin
So like probably a lot different than the 70s but. And so like, yeah, you want to make a change?
01:04:39 Della
Oh yeah.
01:04:43 Kevin
I remember speaking with a couple other board members about this and they're like, listen, I got on this.
01:04:48 Kevin
I wanted to try to see how we can teach the kids stems.
01:04:51 Kevin
Get into that more intensely and they're like, we can't change anything that's due with the curriculum.
01:04:56 Kevin
'Cause it's all state.
01:04:58 Kevin
It's all state, so it's one of those like, but yeah, no for.
01:05:00 Kevin
I definitely think that, and I think that the people that are running, I think that they're gonna be sorely mistaken when they get there and realize how much time is then because I see you see it now.
01:05:09 Della
Out of time, yeah.
01:05:10 Kevin
Like 2 out of what 9 school board members?
01:05:13 Kevin
There's like two or three that consistently show up, Kelly being one of them and she's gone.
01:05:17 Kevin
You're probably just gonna have two consecutively show up consistently.
01:05:21 Kevin
Other ones kinda like.
01:05:24 Kevin
Go up here and there when they have.
01:05:26 Della
No, you got to you got to. You gotta.
01:05:26 Kevin

01:08:57 Kevin
My dad left here in the.
01:08:59 Kevin
And he moved.
01:09:00 Della

So he always used to talk about how he moved from Olean, when Olean had a population of, you know, in the mid 20's the mid 20 thousands, you know like 25,000 or so and he moved to New Milford, CT.
01:09:08 Della
Mm.
01:09:10 Della

01:09:16 Kevin
It was about 12,000.

Oh.
01:09:19 Kevin
And then by the time he had left New Milford was at like 28,000.
01:09:24 Kevin

New Guilford screw.

It was a booming farm town, though it was a farm town, as you can buy a bunch of old farm property and.
01:09:42 Della
So same ratio.
01:09:48 Kevin
You could get.
01:09:48 Kevin
Job in New York City because it was a 45 minute train ride.
01:09:50 Della
Oh, OK.
01:09:51 Kevin
So you could go and take all the money from the city and then, but then what happens is right.

Reinvest. Yeah.
01:09:56 Kevin
Then it influxes into the.
01:09:57 Kevin

I understand. Yeah, yeah.
01:18:46 Della
But I I just like like there. There was one I.

Oh, oh, yeah. OK.
01:19:03 Della
In YouTube, I don't know, maybe no. It's Google university.

Talking a lot about Octavia Butler.
01:19:11 Della
She was the.
01:19:14 Della
She was a science fiction writer. You know, as a person that I remember at 1st. And she wrote about the parable of the Sower and it said it starts out.
01:19:17 Kevin
OK.
01:19:28 Della
The year it and she wrote this in, and maybe 83 or something like that, the year is.
01:19:37 Della
2024.
01:19:39 Della
And it shows a lot of what is going on.
01:19:44 Della
On on now. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:19:45 Kevin
Really.
01:19:47 Kevin
And that always isn't always the thing.
01:19:49 Kevin
Always the science fiction writers.
01:19:50 Della
Yeah, yes, yes. Look at look at.
01:19:53 Della
1984 look at look at.
01:19:54 Kevin
1984.
01:19:57 Kevin
Which I don't think happened.
01:19:58 Kevin
84 though not as bad, not.
01:19:58 Della
The.
01:19:59 Kevin
Bad in?
01:20:00 Kevin
4.
01:20:00 Della
I don't know that's true.
01:20:01 Kevin
Because when did?
01:20:02 Kevin
Because he wrote it in in like the 30s, didn't he?
01:20:05 Della
Yes, yeah, yeah. And and also.
01:20:08 Kevin
Animal funds farm.
01:20:09 Della
Animal farm? Yes. Animal farms, yes.
01:20:11 Kevin
I was.
01:20:11 Kevin
That was one of the first books that captured me when I was.
01:20:12 Della
Oh man.
01:20:14 Kevin
The 7th grade.
01:20:15 Della
Really.
01:20:16 Kevin
Just something about.
01:20:18 Kevin
Something about like so reading the book and then like watching the movie after because they'd come up with.
01:20:24 Kevin
Movie.
01:20:24 Della
Yeah, yes, yes.
01:20:24 Kevin
And so, like watching the watching the the puppies get taken away from their mom turned against her.
01:20:32 Della
Yes, yes.
01:20:33 Kevin
About that, like it strikes a primitive chord in.
01:20:37 Kevin
About how.
01:20:37 Della
Oh my God.
01:20:38 Kevin
Psychology works, and it's like that's not natural.
01:20:41 Della
It's.
01:20:41 Kevin
Not natural to turn on your.
01:20:44 Kevin
Or is it like they're continue get into that whole like you know?
01:20:45 Della
It was it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
01:20:49 Kevin
The serpent chasing its tail.
01:20:50 Kevin
Of metaphor.
01:20:52 Kevin
Like, you're constantly devouring yourselves like.
01:20:55 Della
It it it?
01:20:57 Della
To to have that kind of, well, well, you know what it was.
01:21:00 Kevin
Manipulation.
01:21:01 Della
Exactly.
01:21:02 Della
Some, some, some all animals are are equal, but some animals are more equal than others, yes.
01:21:10 Kevin
That's what the pigs say.
01:21:11 Della
Wow. Oh, and how Napoleon rolled up there.
01:21:13 Kevin
Orwell was deeply.
01:21:15 Della
My gosh, how he rose up to.
01:21:19 Della
Make him feel like that.
01:21:20 Della
Because.
01:21:21 Kevin
Orwell was a soldier.
01:21:24 Della
Was it Billy? Nancy? I didn't know.
01:21:26 Kevin
Who's in the British Army?
01:21:27 Kevin
British Army British Air Force 38 planes trying.
01:21:32 Della
To think.
01:21:33 Della
Yeah, they have planes.
01:21:34 Kevin
Yeah. So he was in the armed forces in some way.
01:21:36 Della
OK.
01:21:37 Kevin
Don't know if he was.
01:21:41 Kevin
Because he.
01:21:42 Kevin
Because he also wrote, he wrote the road to Wigan Pier, which was a good book and it kind of described.
01:21:46 Della
OK.
01:21:48 Kevin
It's funny because if you read it.
01:21:50 Kevin
It's like it's almost like what Solzhenitsyn did, where he just took a live account and he wrote a he wrote a road to Wigan Pier where you met like a small coal mining town.
01:21:55 Della
Yes, OK.
01:22:02 Kevin
He would pretty much describe the entire economy how?
01:22:05 Kevin
How much this pence would catch you and this one, and how much the government allotted for social programs.
01:22:11 Della
And.
01:22:11 Kevin
Had a lot of social programs back then and it's funny to think like because people are like, oh, let's go back to the good old days when some of the stuff that exists, it's like, well in England, it always existed to a degree, right?
01:22:24 Kevin
You would get so much ration for.
01:22:28 Kevin
For food and this and that. And then again, he's right in the 1930s, which would make sense that one government's taken, the other governments, you know, process right.
01:22:28 Della
Right, right, right.
01:22:37 Della
Yes.
01:22:38 Kevin
Why? If you have a good idea, why not use it?
01:22:39 Kevin
If you have an idea that's working right.
01:22:42 Della
Don't fix my Rd.
01:22:43 Kevin
Right, yeah.
01:22:44 Kevin
Well, it's kind of the mimic of COVID, right, everyone.
01:22:46 Kevin
They're.
01:22:47 Kevin
Let's mask and. It's kind of a social contagion.
01:22:50 Della
****.
01:22:51 Della
The the.
01:22:54 Della
Oh please help me get split back the solution it's in.
01:23:01 Della
For wealth.
01:23:01 Della
But or well.
01:23:03 Della
The come on Telemark, get the get the foot back. See. See I. That's what, that's what.
01:23:09 Kevin
Oh, I interrupted.
01:23:10 Della
Think no, no, no.
01:23:11 Della
That's the thing about a listener.
01:23:13 Della
You know, I'm so and I'm not patting myself on the back, but this is it. I'm listening.
01:23:17 Kevin
When you're.
01:23:18 Kevin
To.
01:23:19 Della
Listening to you know, to you and my my thoughts go out the window.
01:23:25 Della
For now, but I gotta get it back 'cause. It was so dumb. It was good.
01:23:28 Kevin
Clothes are kinda like thoughts are like helium balloons.
01:23:29 Della
Was good though.
01:23:32 Kevin
Like you hold on to them, but then when you're listening, you like have a tendency to.
01:23:36 Kevin
It's not that grip, right?
01:23:37 Kevin
Trying to like hold your thoughts.
01:23:39 Kevin
Then one goes.
01:23:40 Kevin
Way and you try.
01:23:40 Della
Yeah.
01:23:41 Kevin
Get the balloons in the car.
01:23:43 Della
Yeah.
01:23:43 Della
Oh, yeah, yeah. But that's that says when you when that's when. That's one thing I'm talking about. When when the children and youngsters.
01:23:54 Della
Are talking to speaking and asking questions about their.
01:24:00 Kevin
I love you too, bum.
01:24:00 Della
Alright.
01:24:03 Kevin
OK.
01:24:06 Della
Yeah, but that's what I'm talking.
01:24:08 Della
And when you when you have what you want to say in your head, that doesn't leave a whole lot of room for hearing what they have.
01:24:15 Kevin
New information.
01:24:16 Della
No. So and I I tend to lose mine.
01:24:17 Kevin
Yeah, you kind of have to clear the cue.
01:24:18 Kevin
You gotta clear the cue.
01:24:19 Della
Yeah. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah.
01:24:23 Della
Because yeah.
01:24:25 Della
Yeah, what you said.
01:24:28 Kevin
He got it all queued up.
01:24:28 Della
Hang up, hang up.
01:24:29 Kevin
Ready to.
01:24:30 Kevin
It's like a batting order. Oh, sorry.
01:24:32 Della
Hang up, hang up.
01:24:33 Kevin
Trying to remember the batting order, we got to switch.
01:24:35 Kevin
Our turn on the field, you know, it's.
01:24:39 Della
But good.
01:24:40 Della
Yeah, that's a that's a good listener.
01:24:42 Della
I mean, I'm not patting myself.
01:24:44 Della
The back because I.
01:24:46 Della
But it's.
01:24:47 Della
I've learned so much from just listening to other people.
01:24:50 Della
Know.
01:24:53 Kevin
That's why I wanted.
01:24:54 Kevin
That's why I wanted to get back into this because it's like I was telling my wife a couple years ago. I wanted to because we had done an interview with you and just a one-on-one. And I was like, you know what, honey, we need to.
01:24:55 Della
OK.
01:25:04 Kevin
To go across the street to to call.
01:25:07 Kevin
She was like, did you know Marie?
01:25:10 Della
Yes, yes, yes.
01:25:11 Della
She's down the.
01:25:12 Della
Down the street there. Yes, yes, yeah.
01:25:13 Kevin
She's right next to the old school 1.
01:25:15 Kevin
She was.
01:25:16 Kevin
She passed away a couple years.
01:25:17 Della
Yeah, I know. And that's also bad.
01:25:20 Kevin
Ago, Grandma Mary because all the kids she was like, we'd bring her meals and stuff like, hey, she's like, well, I already have a frozen.
01:25:23 Della
Yes.
01:25:28 Kevin
I'd be like it's Christmas.
01:25:30 Della
Yes.
01:25:31 Kevin
Sing a Christmas meal. We bring it to work, we we love.
01:25:32 Della
Yeah. Yes.
01:25:35 Kevin
We do, you know, and I was telling June, I was like, we need to because I remember my.
01:25:36 Della
Awesome. Awesome.
01:25:41 Kevin
I remember talking to my brother and and I remember getting reminded of, like him being in high school or middle school and having to interview my.
01:25:49 Kevin
And I kept and I kept. And I know somewhere on 8mm tape somewhere up in a box that belong to my dad is probably those things.
01:25:50 Della
Good.
01:25:54 Della
Oh, Kevin.
01:25:59 Della
Oh, honey, that's a treasure.
01:26:01 Kevin
Yeah, and so then, but right, but that's what I was telling June was that I would love to have to have gone across the street and I just never found time to.
01:26:09 Kevin
It with her.
01:26:10 Kevin
And now she's gone. So it's one of those.
01:26:11 Della
Yes. Yeah.
01:26:12 Della
Right. Are you listen?
01:26:12 Kevin
Like every time I get to do a podcast with you, you know 'cause like I'm. I'm likely to get, you know, assassinated.
01:26:19 Kevin
It's one of those.
01:26:22 Kevin
You might not be able to do another podcast with me because I won't be here, but at least some my kids can reference back and be like, hey, this is my dad and he's talking with Bella, you know, and I've got boxes of these tapes, their own film.
01:26:25 Della
Stop it.
01:26:26 Della
It.
01:26:29 Della
Stop it. No.
01:26:34 Kevin
From like from like a.
01:26:36 Kevin
They could charter communication, Time Warner. My dad had his own his own.
01:26:38 Della
OK.
01:26:42 Kevin
Access show.
01:26:43 Kevin
In Connecticut.
01:26:44 Della
Oh, all right, cool.
01:26:45 Kevin
So he was on the news.
01:26:45 Della
That's awesome.
01:26:46 Kevin
So he was in politics in Connecticut, and he was also an elected official on the Board of Finance.
01:26:51 Kevin
But he.
01:26:52 Della
Mm.
01:26:52 Kevin
And his buddy would also do these political talk.
01:26:54 Della
Shows. Oh, that's great.
01:26:56 Kevin
I don't know where I get it from. I don't.
01:26:57 Della
That's great. Cool.
01:27:00 Della
But.
01:27:00 Della
Yes, sure.
01:27:02 Kevin
But he had all these reels, and then when I was a little kid, like the town wanted to, like, buy this one guys property because it was in their way.
01:27:10 Kevin
And my dad was opposed to it.
01:27:12 Kevin
And so, like Bill Wilden's house, and I remember this, my dad was like Matt and Mr. Weldon. And he's like, hey, he's like, I want to film something.
01:27:18 Della
OK.
01:27:21 Kevin
Public access. And so my dad had me show up in a suit and tie to the guys house, Mr. Wildon.
01:27:28 Kevin
I'm from the town and this is my final offer and I gave my briefcase and he was like me and my wife will look at it, Sir.
01:27:35 Kevin
I walked away and they were really cool. 'cause you just think like I don't.
01:27:39 Kevin
I knew him.
01:27:40 Kevin
Of that, like other than my daddy's like position like me, just talk in a regular Joe's and diving into a topic that just bugs you and. And so then my dad, what he did was he like, went down to the video store and he.
01:27:53 Kevin
Scenes from movies.
01:27:55 Kevin
He grabbed like.
01:27:56 Kevin
Hollywood, America, or one of those C. And it was like where they were, like, blowing stuff up and and what he did was all of a sudden he's got me standing behind a tree with my fingers in my ears.
01:28:08 Kevin
And then it clips to a scene of the house blowing.
01:28:12 Kevin
And so it's like, so my dad did one of these little scenes with me is like, you know, I was older.
01:28:12 Della
OK.
01:28:17 Kevin
Lennox, but yeah.
01:28:19 Kevin
He did one of those little scenes where it was like, and because they were saying that the town was trying to railroad them. And it's like, so he was trying to say, hey, why wouldn't put it past the town to blow up this guy? Well, now we got.
01:28:25 Della
Oh.
01:28:33 Kevin
And that was what he was trying to get at with his joke.
01:28:35 Della
Yeah. Uh.
01:28:35 Kevin
And it was a cool little skit.
01:28:37 Kevin
And it.
01:28:38 Kevin
Before its time, it was like, you know, 'cause. There wasn't YouTube reels and all these other.
01:28:40 Della
Right. Yes. Yeah, right.
01:28:43 Kevin
I just watched a friend of mine do one of those little tricks and he was like.
01:28:46 Kevin
Like he took a ring and he and he put it on his finger. And then he did a A, you know, a camera trick where obviously disappeared.
01:28:48 Della
OK.
01:28:50 Della
Uh.
01:28:58 Kevin
He reappeared while pulling the camera.
01:29:00 Della
Add.
01:29:01 Kevin
Ring off.
01:29:02 Kevin
Well, all you're doing in the situation like that is pressing pause on the camera.
01:29:07 Kevin
Pressing pause on the camera and then you're stepping out of scene.
01:29:09 Kevin
And then you're pressing unpause.
01:29:11 Kevin
Now you're nodding.
01:29:12 Kevin
It was a little camera trick my dad taught me when I was a kid.
01:29:15 Kevin
Like he was trying to help me. And so somewhere on 8mm tape is also a horror movie that we were going to film.
01:29:22 Kevin
When I was a little kid, my dad, we had Halloween costumes and my dad was like.
01:29:28 Kevin
I was like, Dad, can we film a movie?
01:29:30 Kevin
And he goes.
01:29:32 Kevin
And so I remember having this Triton and this little bevel mask, and my dad was like, oh, no.
01:29:34 Della
Awesome. Awesome.
01:29:37 Kevin
Then I remember throwing it and my dad going in another scene and.
01:29:44 Kevin
It was.
01:29:45 Kevin
It was my dad was teaching me and my cousins about, like, yeah, just cool little camera tricks.
01:29:47 Della
Too much?
01:29:50 Della
Oh, that's awesome. Oh, wow.
01:29:51 Kevin
And it was.
01:29:51 Kevin
But yeah, but yeah, no, that somewhere.
01:29:53 Della
Oh, what a nice to remember. Awesome. Yeah.
01:29:55 Kevin
Yeah. So.
01:29:57 Kevin
So somewhere there is an 8mm tape of that and there is a giant film reel of the Bill Wilden House explosion.
01:30:04 Kevin
With me as a 10 year old kid.
01:30:06 Kevin
No, it wouldn't have.
01:30:08 Kevin
Jeez, I must have been like, 7:00 or 8:00.
01:30:10 Kevin
Who's young?
01:30:12 Kevin
All I had to do was wear a mask.
01:30:14 Kevin

All over his skin.
01:38:11 Della
Oh yeah.
