Every single town in the green-out state Is covered and smothered like a Waffle House plate Kick back, relax and put us in your ears Like VPR with couple of beers Get caught up Welcome to Vermont Ketchup with Matt Hey I'm Matt Glow And Glow And Adam We are Weekly Run Down Everything Happening In Vermont Happy International Amateur Radio Day Slow day. That was a big thing back in your day, Matt? Back in the 20s?! More like the 50's But there is this nut that lives at Essex No... Yes! That has all these really big discs Yeah Like satellite dishes All over his house How bight are those disc Well it bigger than hi house If you put them all together and I was not walking on his property, as walking down the brook one day. Which is exactly what someone who's walking on his property would say Yeah It was not walking in this properly don't put that out there And he started yelling at me Hey get off my properity Here i am with a dog Walking along and thinking Jesus You know So never went tha way again it'a shortcut lot of people dont know about Were these satellites just for radio? I don'think those are for radio. Who knows what they were for? The guy was probably radioing Moscow or something Remember the guy we house-sit for, South Burlington Oh yeah He had like a tower That's right For his radio Yeah he have quite the set up too His basement Yeah There he was a big into it too. But I think it's one of those dying hobbies People do this now, right? Podcast It kind of replaced that right Yeah That has Like no 15 year old is getting into ham radio Maybe they are You never know you talk to somebody from wherever What was the difference between podcast and ham radio Radio live Yeah, you're just talking to somebody like yeah you having a conversation. But like there was pirate radio was the thing I mean it's not really anymore but that would be right kind of what this is right? What about CVS Matt do you ever have CVI imagine just driving down the road Big 10 ford or no Breaker breaker smoky on my tail No really Yeah, I don't know. No It was popular back in the day though right? The 70s In the 70's it wasn Probably because of this song Was it only truckers or regular folks could have one on their car Most regular people had one Well...I had a two-way radio Why didn'you speak up Like who do we sit over there waiting for Well..it is part my air pollution inspector job My car has 2 way radio So always like to put radios into office and there was obviously a receiver there in the office, and the secretary would hand four. Gotcha! So we used that same lingo But you never talked to just random people also? Truckers You talk trucker's No I mean not through radio but face-to face That is how they won'talk with trucker That is why they sent me instead of some male Because I figured a trucker wouldn't belt me, would he? Only the worst of the worst. Right... but l didn' t know that But they were armed with rifles and all kindsa shit Mother-truckers Do you think truckers were more polite in 70s or now ? Jeez! My guess is probably same Same I don't know, at the rest areas if the trucker came after hours we had one guy that would shit right in front of the door Yeah thanks a lot pal That's like 2000s trucker The 70ies would have dignity to go into woods Or roll up toilet paper There are plenty woods next door You know? Plenty there Are we sure? You had cameras, that's how you know this was happening. Yeah... We figured it out because there would be six trucks parked out back with no cars We ran people off who decided to live there in their cars After a couple of days they'd say-"You gotta get moving." If I'm trucker can't park anywhere and just sleep their No No, you just can't pull over. You're supposed to because of the hours that you can only drive so many hours I mean like could i park at a Walmart? That's the place where alot people park if they are allowed But not in rest areas They could part there but you jus cant pull over on side road and part Truckers used be more chivalrous More brotherhood Yeah, I could see that. And a lot of World War II veterans being truckers Go from killing Nazis to hauling crap made in Germany Right A lot of truckers are serial killers What do you mean by alot? If there's 10...that is alots right You mean like thousands Yeah, yeah. Well there's a few truckers that are serial killlers There is few of everything that are serial killers But it is good way to move around the country It' s good gig Good gig if you want to kill people all over the place I wanna kill people in Kansas Become trucker You can make them come true So international radio day Alright moving on Zoe Saunder I don't know, liberal darling. Now she'standing up to the Trump administration saying that they are going to continue their diversity equity and inclusion programs in Vermont schools Good for her But didn' t she come out with something earlier that was like we're not going too Yeah so there She sent out an email And said well you know it is something That effected It is a flip-flop So what do think happened? My guess, I don't know. Most politicians in the state would agree with the second one So you think that she sounded like the first one and Phil Scott was like got on a horn and was like uh-uh redo or do you think should have conversation with Phil Scott he's just say anything too crazy really water it down really acquiesce to Trump administration And she did that, and then she got backlash. She was like... So does she believe the first one or that second one? That's what I'm curious about The first Tthe first l think Scott had something to do with it Of course he would He is your boss And doesn't liket Trump You know What are these fuckers doing They're just too scared No Not really But Yeah I don't know, yeah she did kind of screw this up but good for her you know fuck Trump and this vendetta they have on you education. Well he want to keep people stupid Yeah i guess so That's how you keep control over them Who do they kill first right? During revolutions they always killed the professors or teachers that people with knowledge learn knowledge, those are the ones they get rid of because... Any fascists. Yeah because they can think and possibly rebel while if you're not so smart you could easily beswayed Yeah I've seen no evidence that over the last 15 years Sorry Matt what were going to say? No i was just gonna say yeah that's what usually go for smart people first and thats whats going on And coming out from universities, tax status and all this shit. Yeah they're just gonna do whatever they can to make people more stupid than they already are I think it reeks of desperation Think they know that their kind fucking up Fucking this whole first hundred days But i think its funny that when Zoe Saunders first came in We were like oh everyone hated her Then you hear from for a while then people are like actually we liker because She gets things done and answers our e-mails, and we'll have a conversation with us. And who was the person she replaced? I don't even know that person's name! Well... Yeah..I think that one of the reasons shes can get stuff done is because shes not one of those good old boys or girls women who've been in this state government They're just festered all over they move from place to place Nothing gets done Everythings committee thiis committee that you know it's just a little fiefdom here you get little You know, that kind of stuff. And if happens is state government terrible They jus keep rehiring the same people They all have the same last names Yeah She came from out-of state Pinnacle education Right Can imagine like Zoe Saunders like sitting down for her first day and opening up some agency or education database and just be like, what the fuck is this? I'm sure she made a phone call like oh yeah this needs to be fixed. Yeah 20 years behind the times i would say more than twenty man Yeah And only speaking from that experience in code of trying To claim unemployment and just Like you look at This website You're Like What even Is This Lik e Thi s S lik The 90 web Right Internet That Im Dealing With All right Moving on Federal lawsuit Fought against Burlington Or Burlington Airport alleges that there's a campaign of improper retaliation. The owner of Mansfield Heliflight was criticizing the Burlington airport, saying that- or Burlington? Or Burnington Airports It is the burlington airport City in buirlingtons and Yeah yeah Saying they retaliated against him because he was criticizing them giving favorable treatment to beta They've been there for years Mansfield Yeah What do they do? They have charter helicopters and aircraft repair. They've been around, but the airport says Oh Beta! Let's give them everything It means like oh no shit The prettiest girl is going to get favorable treatment That kind of way life works What are you innovating Mansfield Hell Of Light That's wrong. I mean, maybe it is not right but how do they retaliate? They... So he criticized the airport He tried to renew his five year lease and they insisted that you had signed a non-disparagement agreement Okay so They are saying just keep your mouth shut You can renew your agreement Yeah that is no right No But You know It the way this Yeah, you want it? You better agree to it then. If you want that...to stay there Oh just go the other international airport around here Yeah Go out what's tha one near Stow There is a landing strip out ther Are you serious I can't remember since some town over there It where they do glider rides Hmm. I know there's one in Montpelier on the way to Berlin, or up at the top Not that Berlin Flights to Berlin All of a sudden you're going find people looking for that plane Yeah there are little ones all around but I'd never heard of the one in Stowe, or could picture where it is. Yeah they terminated his lease And they raised his rent Raised their rent Yeah This guy's probably right But good luck That airport it going to be called Beta Airport In five years Yep Alright Moving on Middlebury enacts an encampment policy So after Midway saw a rise in homeless encampments downtown, officials have adopted new policy. They say trauma informed policy of course the charter house coalition will connect with unhoused individuals if an encampment is deemed unsafe in restricted area people are allowed to camp and make shift structure on public property unless it's ontown parcels I don't get that how you gonna know Oh, I see. Like if it's like a town land? Yeah You can't encamp in City Hall They can do that Lawn Yeah Essentially Yeah At government offices or sensitive areas like parks and schools What is left Yeah That is good question Parks Could never imagine Middlebury becoming homeless encampments you know It always was classy more, you know like upper class. I love going to the inn for lunch it is really like cloth napkins it's very quiet everyone was dressed in a little tuxedo Okay maybe not Yeah!I liked that place It'a throwback It''s throw back way things used to be. Middlebury Inn, very quiet very upper class but the prices are not so you can have a really good healthy meal you know it didn't come out of the can in back What am I getting like cob salad? What's what'm i getting at Middlebury inn We had Reuben last time Yeah It was really good And we also had A salade that was You got big salad The big Salads and And we've been there before too, and it was again very good food but people speak like this you know to each other. Nobody's on their phone? They're not on their phone Because they are all ancient Yeah right! We are the youngest people in here Yeah But yeah everyone speaks at a polite level of conversation Now I gotta look up the menu At Middlebury Inn So anyway Yeah, I can't imagine Middlebury. That's the kind of status that you don´think would ever have something like homeless encampments Homeless people come from everywhere in the end And Middlebury is not such a bad place to settle in Maybe they kept other good stuff down there that attracts homeless people We're talking about Morgans Tavern? Yes Morgan's Tavern. That is the name of the place Oh, check this out! Tuesday night all you can eat pasta and half-price bottles of wine That is a heartburn waiting to happen And Friday night prime rib special with signature cocktail feature Yeah prime rib It was trash meat right? Is that your wedding by way No no we are having tacos No, we're not having it. I... Prime Rib is generally an overrated piece of steak in its old school It'so well-named Yeah Sounds good It means its okay but Id rather have a ribeye You can get burger at Morgan Tavern for 17 bucks That gone price these days Oh no that crazy Isn't nuts? Yeah, Mediterranean halibut is 40 bucks though. You gotta wear your tuxedo if you're eating that Yeah That's a little up there So you were surprised at Middlebury? What do you think of as like hoity-toity classy place has homeless problem Yes But they are super liberal and they aren't letting them camp anywhere right Right It is true so um yeah Yeah it raises good question about where can the camp Not parcels not government offices Well, they couldn't park right? Like oh it says not parks or schools. The problem is though towns like this depend on visitors from out of state You think people are going to like after a while seeing you know this it's just going keep growing and growing They're gonna like seeing that when they come To buy 17 dollar burger but first they have climb over couple these folks in order get the door Where are they coming from? Who, these people visitors. People who... I mean like Middlebury white people But where are they coming from is my question Like they're coming from Boston A lot of homeless there Yeah as i'm saying like Where's the homeless free city in America Like middle america Liket Fayetteville Arkansas Good question Have no idea Literally just thinking out loud I don't know like, which is just kind of like well we have homeless people now. We have more homeless and more billionaires hmm Yeah Something's wrong with this seesaw Strongly the seesaw has a great way to put it All right moving on governor Phil Scott says the best interest of detainees will guide decision on state agreement with federal immigration authorities, the US government continues to snatch people up not charge them anything fly them to El Salvador and put them in concentration like prisons. And they also fly him into Louisiana places you don't want フロリダの監獄だったんだ 本当に? そうなんだ それはフィギュアである そんなスカットがあって あいつらと一緒になるためには もっと良い治療を与える だから彼たちも ロイジアナやミスシッピーなどの タクセルは良い場所だ あとで見つけられる そう このようにしてもいいと思わない 他人が何をやっているか嫌ってしまう だから最低限、みんな気付いて そこまで相談できれば こちらより多く出て来る So. Yeah, I guess like top Democrats are asking him to end the agreement and to allow immigration authorities that use Vermont prisons which would make sense if every state did it? Right But if you're the one state that does then they just go somewhere else so what's... Right Kind of like what is point here but sure Scott got on a phone with some governors and asked them whether they had backbones They all said no So he also is not having one. I don't know, it's gonna get worse we're gonna run out of prisons See i kind of think the opposite like they're not They are finding as many people they were hoping to find And then that was a problem Trying fill quotas Trying getting million people in this first year deported That crazy Other deported ppl shouldn be deport Right Which also crazy Who going work? Who's gonna do the shitty jobs in America? Nobody. Cool, robots I guess Pissed off at the price of your Big Mac last week just wait Alright moving on to Manchester Manchester select board says no to pride flags And they're just done with flags Yeah they say Vermont flag and US flag With all those flags you get You don't gettin' none other stuff Great, I don't care. Yeah because otherwise hey what about my flag? Hey another flag Hey before you know it you got a bunch of flags You don' even know after awhile Like i dont understand sometimes What any Of those flags represent So who are they speaking to The choir yeah What's the American flag with like the brown line That means yea Exactly Sometimes Matt and And see these things along this road When we're driving And I always wonder, what's that supposed to mean? You know when it is like that or would i- and he doesn't know.–I always think its code for im a racist Right That usually right–That usually right–Right Yeah of course Yeah It Is But idk what all these flags mean and yeah everyone knows the LGBTQ flag because this the rainbow Like Have you ever seen The trans flag Mhmm Its Theres like A triangle Anyways It's also complicated. But then even within that community, there are different variations so it is like you can never please everyone You're always excluding someone and then do you nothing? Or where to draw the line This is a tough decision I like one suggestion from someone in this article because they ar all kind of no one wants be the person who says No Flags apparently at thiis meeting but somone was saying what if we put up the pride flag for Pride Month, and then we took it down. We put up this other flag for Black History Month and then we took it down." That seems reasonable You're not flying these things all year round? Is that what you' re saying I mean...I don't know Who's gonna to with the labor though The labor With a flag Yeah Oh come on And you gotta looped First of all Then Tsk-tss Well thanks funny I mean you say that because how many times do people not want to do those kind of easy jobs? Get a buncha kids that like doing it, kids like that stuff. Oh okay...you get the boy scouts over too Yeah give them something else while they're at iit You know when were in 6th grade hall monitor's We put up this flag every morning Really?! Well someone did That was there I had to do it at the rest areas and once they became tattered, i had to take them down and put up a new one. Do you get people complaining? Oh yeah oh my god No really Yeah People take that very seriously Yeah Ppl wearing flag bandana with flag koozie Flag boxer shorts Really don't like You disrespecting The flag And you always have To hav The US Flags higher than Others Oh, I didn't realize that. Oh yeah! So if one of my employees didn' t do that right then i would hear about it and somebody woulda say You're not supposed to have a... Okay Like the Vermont flag? Would be up higher No no US flags highest And then Vermont flags just little bit Right What im saying is they screw-up Or there's had both at same level Ya know Can you imagine being in person While your always on flag watch Any kind of watch. Just walking around, waiting to be pissed off Hey do we still have Flag Day? Remember Flag Day Yeah That's on the calendar somewhere It is on the calendar somewhere but what... Saturday June 14th See So that means flag day We can fly all our flags Not a federal holiday Ironically I know right You should be. Yeah, I think maybe the purpose of Flag Day is you can fly any flag... Right? You mean you can't fly any flag Any day Well yes he could Do whatever want Just not Manchester Not at the select board Alright moving on Bernie made surprise appearance in Coachella Him and AOC are running around country fighting oligarchy Yeah, I was telling Gloria about that. How they're selling out in places like Idaho and weird places Yeah it's pretty wild We were all these people four months ago or six months ago Right yeah so what is it called? Chowchella Coachella You don't need to know tha Matt It' a music festival Coachellas not for you but also no for me So what IS IT then I'm too old to go to Coachella. Oh, okay Like a list of Coachellabands i probably know six out like hundred like Green Day was there Max saw Green day I liked green day There's the date for that too you know there is greenday on calendar It different Laughing So yeah they roll around country just rally people up and good for them I think it'smart for them to pair together. Sure They have slightly different audiences Age-wise? Yeah Well, AOC has proven that she is really good on television And she is really good in the house asking questions But a lot of Trump voters would have voted for Bernie Uh huh Because they want that populist and he more... He more of that working man than any other politician except maybe AC By far By far. He's been saying the same stuff for 40 years, and he hasn't wavered off of that And how has no one else taken that up? I guess AOC is How has no one else just like you know what middle class people should get fucked That not a crazy position right Yeah his populist message its One it should reverberate throughout this country this country. But people are scared that he's a socialist, because he has been named as socialist you know? He should be rebranded like soft capitalist or something Right You know like just... Because not socialists No no Not What democratic socialists they call him now So it doesn't work socialistic yeah but that what killed Bernie Because um I don' t we uh i remember talking to this guy that used to sit down on Church Street with us. He'd come around once in a while, he was... A retired major or something and- And he was in charge of the veterans over In Winooskie you know stuff like that and then I would never vote for that sonofabitch blah But Bernie helped them Or helped him With something ベテランのために 彼はバーニーファイターだと言っていた だから俺たちはベトナム人なんだ あいつがプロガンバッグを持ってるんだ そうかも ここでやることにならない そうなりゃあ 他にはアソルトライフォームでもあるけど NRAではBという名前なんじゃない? なんて悪い おそらくもう一回戦わなくなると思うんじゃ I honestly have not seen him speak in several months, but he'still too old to run for president. AOC might talk about running for senate Yeah that was what i was thinking Oh yeah AOC should primary Chuck Schumer He needs to sit down What are you holding on too? Don't you have any hobbies Find a hobby. Have you ever been on the boat? It's fucking cool! You ever travel, that is cool too like There is more to life than just languishing in the senate He really kind of took hit for his latest North Hero They are losing school We talked about this couple weeks ago or last week Yeah, they were closing schools all around the state because there's no kids. And I mentioned up there in North Arrow that the islands don't have kids anymore They must have some But they're gonna ship them to Winooski or someplace God man that sucks You know also farms are dying out too At least before families would stay just a farm But what's the point of farming when you get a lot more money selling to these really rich people who come in well buy that farm put one big mansion on it and Yeah, then you farms are worth shit. You want them all down? Pretty much anywhere you go on those islands is good view Yeah, you know and that's what makes farms worth anything It was a really nice place in the summer. Just to be but this for these kids man it sucks like yeah your bus ride went from five minutes to 45 minutes is because your school closed and now I gotta go call it too Some school thats gonna definitely different than what you're used right? Right. Yeah, I don't know where they're going at the end of it says yeah I can be when you see this can be the closest now It's gonna like St Albans or Georgia something right Milton You have to go north through The North Yeah imagine your than Grand Island We love Milton moving on Burlington adopt zoning To encourage higher ground move I did not read this matter. It's just a quick... There used to be 5,000 square foot size limit on performing arts centers on Pine Street They just eliminated that out of the bill Because they want higher ground to move On Pine Street? Where are they moving like what Those woods we've been trying protect Like if I drive down Locust right there, that kind of like i'd be facing Locust. From the circle a little circle over here The company hasn't revealed where on Pine Street it wants to move Well There's not that many options But one possibility is the Burlington City Arts headquarters at 405 Pine Oh the one That still part Of Farmers Market you walk right past in and out It'a crumbling building That'something I'm thinking like more... Like with Neil Graham, a mobile home at one time that was you know what i mean? Maybe. Maybe that is where they are going to think about putting it in which also would probably then take up some of the farmers market space too but hey you know might work for them Yeah yeah..I don't now It needs be somewhere right we do need place for I think so, because the Flynn doesn't do as much as they used to. They also need that kind of nightclub vibe or whatever Something right? If i'm gonna go see The Who where am going around here Right...I haven´t been a concert in 30 years Probably last one was Green Day It was. Was it Weezer opening for Green Day? It was Weezer, Green Day...it's a bunch of bands Oasis You went to like one the greatest concerts Like 1994 K-Rock weenie roast Which is probably one the greatest concert That who put it on I know that what you're saying And you told me many times Yeah but didn't know any Your like these green day guys got something Yeah I like the Weezer. Alright, moving on... The Vorstaveld story for him Yeah! Just because it's the same family we've been talking about These farmers who were supposed to stop farming Because they were polluting the area And they said it cost too much to fix whatever they were doing, you know. Because the stuff from the dairy farm flowed onto their neighbor's property and caused a lot of damage but they just keep going and now I want to add 580 new cows These guys are terrible polluters Can't we just kick these guys out? That is amazing that this dairy farm even still exists To be honest You know why because look at tha person obviously a South American, Central American heritage. The photo just says workers at the Vorstelveld farm Yeah They have 1500 cows Wow Mature cows and 1500 young stock And now they want to add 500 God 24 hour day this operation Oh absolutely Yeah You're just finished milking these And you'r- it's like round the clock Right Panton is place It's Pantin. Yeah, where the heck is Pantin? That should be in Bridport Bridport Is it Oh yeah In Addison County going towards the lake Gotta get on water right He is going towards a lake Yeah Panting Vermont Yes We'll do an impromptu what you know about Panton Vermont Hello population of Panther Vermont 783 You're little high 583 Oh, it's Matt turn. I was gonna say 595 646 That says of 2020 so Who knows? Maybe these Vorstelvelds are bringing in all these migrant workers maybe has risen Anything interesting about Pantin Nope That said that Spanson You've seen it all. And it is, um... Yeah It's on the lake in Asen County Its where you think its I think where you see the sign for Bridport to turn off towards a lake That has still general story there and then Catty Corner across from that Is like an old book store but I mean like this building looks like it's being held up by books, you know. It is not really in good shape and barely ever open And then they think there is a church to the right when you get at that intersection You've got the general store So Is that one? Bridport Or Panton Yeah Should stop there because you know what going on No One of them closed There used To be A couple Of those stores On That road and I think one of them closed. Oh, no... Nobody knows how to go out the other way to Little Bridport To get a cup or two at the general store for coffee No Nobody has You know what's curious enough when you see this sign Bridport is that That means really fucking good coffee Get me some Bridport Yeah but if you saw this sign Bridport your not curious Well What if we turn off road Turn off Route 7 and check it out and see what's there. It depends on the day, I mean if i have a lot of time maybe would done stuff like that in the past okay but shouldn't be called Bridgeport somebody dropped the G you know its easier Bridport yeah do they have brewery? don' think they no this is really old somewhere forgotten back in the 1940s, even that far back. That's how it felt like you expect to see Andy Griffith coming down the street any moment you know that kind of feel All right last story Burlington is looking To offer two hours Of free street parking on Wednesday and Thursday downtown because But not in a garage Who wants go downtown? Visitors can also park in the downtown garage for two free hours on Saturdays. We want to make sure people understand we are open for business All these shops on Main Street are open and trying make it easier For people coming into the park Please come here Right, please come here You know Give out parking spaces Please come I mean if you've been down there It's a mess, construction-wise. Also it is just like... Like in front of the Roxy Theater now that it has closed I know the tagging will start and hate because there are beautiful murals on the side coming down from College Street Anyway Yeah! There was an encampment Because they have overhang so they can stay dry And thats their little alcove But they've spread across also too, where the little bit of lawn and trees are. They're killing everything there of course because they're also laying there So who's gonna want to walk past us? Tell me I mean we did in Portugal but in general We had do Idon't know man No one seems have any ideas that make it better Hey at least you can go for free I got a update. It's an addendum, late breaking story According to Joe Spahn Spring is here The block fell through the ice at Joe Spahn You know every year they have that contest At 841 on Thursday AM? PM P.M.. Wait, today's Friday? Today is Friday PM Yeah All right it is officially spring So they sold 16000 tickets And the winner will get 7800 dollars You pick the day and minute Yeah you got to pick day and minutes Is closer the minutes or prices right rules Or if you go... Don't know How many digits could we out Could you go all the way down a millisecond? You're one of those... She's one of those flag people. I'm not splitting my winnings, 16 digits! Let' take break The music is by Raptors The song it Tiny Little Robots I'm going to make a sandwich with the ingredients that are in the package. Cut the bread into bite-sized pieces and put them on top All right, so Wells Spring Unified School District. They are bringing back the monoculture they are asking students all across the district to read the same book people around town actually write is like it's not just students its like everybody in town Yeah Well depends on what The book Is It''' s Where T he Mountain Meets It's The Moon. It is a, I think it is like dystopian... A fantasy-adventure children novel inspired by Chinese folklore tells the story of Min Li and her journey to meet the old man on THE MOON To seek for better life for he family living under barren fruitless mountains And then what happens? Well am not going give away You are gonna make me buy this book Oh you want talk with these people in thi city Like it's kind of like Harkins back in the day were like people would actually consume the same culture. Everyone would watch The Tonight Show or everyone watched Roots, you know what I mean? Or everyone knows that song It was year after year after year still Dick and Jane watched Spot Run You know that kinda... Was is Dick an Jane Jane & Dick Dick&Jane Definitely Dick was first. But Dick and Jane don't have any plot, no It's like helping you learn sounds This is like an actual story Okay so it a little more advanced than first or second grade Yeah, I remember especially in the 60s when everybody would be reading the same book from Jacqueline Suzanne book or something. You see everybody just wouldn't read the same book Even if it was 90's that would happen right? But so Glo to answer your earlier point like even younger kids are listening to it so maybe someone's reading it to them or the teacher just hit play on the It's like a book club. A gigantic book club? Yeah You ever been in the book club No I'm not i don't like to read There you go Don'y like reading, and don''t love clubs Id be at the Book Club if didn ''re have read Actually ,you dont have too These days Book Clubs are more Like wine clubs Alright Rutland City Records points Background check problems at recreation department so apparently the park and rec department at Rutland was just like, yeah we'll do a background check later. Then they got called on it and then they did like 16 in one day Yeah kind of scallywags are working for And that's one thing you'd want to Do background checks any volunteers? Oh yeah The children around Yeah Good pickings Pickens! Yeah, good pickings of the Rutland Park and Rec. So do you think they weren't doing it because they're desperate for people? Or is it laziness or money... I think its a combination of all that but But yeah laziness People have just really become so mediocre And what they expect from themselves over to you know, like people just anyway I don't want to get on that podium. Oh yeah but like if you think of me at work? Yeah But people's wages are actually going down compared To the cost-of living so So what If your paying less than what You would have paid the same job 10 years ago Why am i gonna be doing The same or more Well that never stopped Me Well It doesn' matter My salary did not reflect my work So, I worked my ass off even when making some really shitty money. Just as much later when i was making more money it didn't matter because you know what? And our work ethics It's not bad to work But if you're being asked do a bunch of shit that you can'that it's pushing you. That you don' wanna go that far You don'' want to be nudged Your dont wanna get shoved Oh no I dont have Don ''t nudge me bro Dont nudge Not my job man Well If i doesnnt bother Me Hey l think saying its not My job Man is a perfectly Reasonable thing To say if Its actually No your Job Like We are places Where like Your in an apartment And bunch of people Leave or Get fired and suddenly you have to do their jobs, it's like well are you gonna give me their salaries? No. It was like well... Well I still did over here Well that But i did more than a typical assistant WelI would've advised not too if were your work attorney That is why That' swhy don't want another job ever again We'll see If that result Like they push out The workforce All try so hard Not give off than all will be there Then on kind of person Doesn'' matter To me, doing a good job is all that matters. So but they will smell me out They will sniff Me out They will know and they Will eventually They wilL start taking advantage And little by little By little Matt we got try hard over here Pile some more work on her plate I've said the same before It's like if you've go something urgent to do Find it busiest person And give its them And that was me, I was the busiest person. Meanwhile Stoner Steve over there is making the same paycheck and he's just like not doing shit! How do you know? You remember this at that was my days back in Middlesex County when iIwa an air pollution inspector Stoner Steve- Was it a real person Yes His name with steved but He would call up and say hey man, I'm in bed with my girlfriend and we'really stoned so i don'think he'll be coming into it. He's a stoner Steve Yeah And he got away with It You know why? Probably because of the eyes Because you didn' give him shit Good reason to come To work today The problem is if If you don''t give A shi Tthe boss isn ''ot going Pick on like Like they did with me They humiliate Me infront Of people when When Was doing My job Yea Punishment Is competence Yes Really Then They abuse If it just gets worse and worse because that's also what happened when I was in Trenton So we don't want to go there Well, i dont think thats whats happening here Because how hard is the order a background check? You know its not like they're asking them To do like bunch of shit Its justs like They probably have click couple buttons on their human resources They are probably afraid Of wha they gonna come up with That' s why im thinking Yeah cause these people Have already been working ther for awhile right And then youre all Like well he seems fine He got slim pickets No What was tha Easy Picket Is he thinking? Are you familiar with the phrase, quiet quitting. No I think it's probably an old idea but a modern term It is when you slowly check out of your job You are not going to quit because still want get paid Just slowly do less and less Probably never quite quit before She would never did that Yeah. And I was already starting to do that. That one year, they treated me like shit and i just continued to be the nice person The nice person and Was doing a lot of meditating back then Im telling you The whole way into work There'some chart Of like tHe happiest person does this much meditation ThE unhappiest persons Does this much meditation It is Like same actual level Meditation I was there in DP for seven years, and never said a bad thing about any of it. BP? No DEP Department of Environmental Protection Gotcha NJDP But i was also on Middlesex County for two year Anyway you don't want to go into my resume no but Idon' That's enough You're fine Nat You look like the guy who has quiet quit before Yeah I think that's what happened to me in my last job. It was a time when people didn't respect us anymore, and weren'e getting raises from other companies which is not good for our company so it made us fight with the employees It wasn''t because of COVID But they got rid off because they were checking out before Because they checked you out? They used COVID to get rid of me. Yeah, I mean they were starting to downsize anyway so they used COVID didn't really do it So but anyways i just wasn' treated well That whole genre Of work isn''treated well You know people cleaning the rest areas and jus standing there behind a desk you know saying hi To all these visitors or then gonna shit and pee all over the clean work, and you have to go back in there and do it again. Yeah I used......I cleaned toilets at KFC which would argue is it's not the worst place...to clean toilets but It´' s ther..it''¦S IN THE TOP 15TH PERCENTILE like a worse places especially that worked with bad gifts two cases time out of battle right Vermont beekeepers are working to produce future generations of disease-resistant bee colonies. Is this a Jurassic Park situation where we're genetically engineering these bees and they get too powerful? I know Glo doesn't want to hear this, but beekeepers in the US lost 70% or 100 % from managed honeybee colonies in 2020... Wait! Seventy percent?! Yeah Wait How can it only go up by 100 percent!? That's everything Wow At that point They are talking about individual bee keepers Some people lost 70% of their... Lost how? How did they lose these bees. They didn't have little GPS's on them or something like that I think it means they died They died from what Broken hearts So yeah, some new virus New thing that is killing bees Are these bees quite quitting It doesn' really say Maybe it's a silent quitting, is that what you call it again? It definitely more desirable for beekeeper to have bees than are better adapted at taking care of their diseases themselves. Yeah Put on the B Take care yourself Pick yourself up with your bootstraps Bee The trick breeding resilient colonies starts with the ability identify hygienic colonies I can identify and remove diseased brood So apparently some bee colonies have got it going on, other bee colonies are just dying. So they're trying to breed out the ones that are just dying Aren'they doing is themselves? If they'r dying... I mean if they killing themselves off why would need any intervention during something than their already doing No so were trying get healthy ones gettin all on so that there's more healthy ones and fewer ones that die. Oh, I thought you were saying something like well let the ones that are dying just die and leave them to off who cares? And then replace them with those stronger for- Yes yes both things but we have To actively make sure That they're healthy ones ar Ready Go Each other Okay Yeah They have The UBO method U-B O. What's that? It is the way that they're determining like, the quality of a queen bees egg Wow And then measuring how effective the nurse bees are Because I guess when an egg in laid The nurse bees nurse it Uh-huh. Yeah, man bees are crazy Yeah They're amazing They ar I love watching them here in the garden They never bother me they just like go and buzz into every plant Like that's a trumpet or not A trumpet whatever And they'r just picking up pollen and stuff It is just amazing to watch them Like if bees didn't sting us they would beloved Not all bees sting like bumblebees The can sting There barely staying I don't know that until i'm stung, then like damn it! Misread this one Some of them are really hornets or another... Well they're different. They're not bees They arent wasps or hornets What were those yellow jackets? Exactly So they look like bees but they may be in their own category But the bee itself Bees themselves don't bother me. I'm allergic to bee stings Oh, so is my dad Like pretty bad But yeah Yeah bumblebees they can sting you Little fat rumps But like a bumblebee and yellowjacket Dont look that much different right? Are you kidding Its the difference between pug and rhinoceros No its not Yes it is You cant grab them Which one are you? No, bumblebees. They're chubby They're much bigger Much bigger They like about over half inch Yall ar pretty cavalier And if it's a yellow jacket He won't be alone Yeah And those bastards Oh they come with crew The come with crew oh yeah I hate them all Got at once that summer Never came back fortunately But i found they were nesting Over there in my garden and had to just completely stop Going that way because they attacked me and stung me pretty bad one day. So after that, I did not care what that part of the garden looked like i was like fine you can have your You win this round bees Yeah they're nasty little fuckers Oh they go after you All right moving on Um do we care about this story about inside resource? There's also in Digger Yeah I don't know. Eh, no Moving on The Pony Library is looking for book donations Are you kidding?

It's frickin confusing first of all No, no You got five corners two of them look a lot alike Yeah left and sharp left or woo thats tricky one Yeah exactly it is well anyway will you let me finish this? Sorry its fucking talk show It's like I'm talking. You just go past big lots, and because they used to go an orthopedist out there... Orthopedists?

Somebody built up beautiful little shed, the door is short just like for us Maybe not as short as the ones in Portugal But it was short and had enough space And its got children books that people have donated So I should tell these Putney people Look! Just clean them out You already have half way going Yeah jus go to this Essex pedophile trap and clean them out. But anyway, it's a cute little place and I was on my way to see my orthopedist It would have been the sharpest left when he got into the light which i never got too So they are looking for donations God so many libraries are getting rid of books aren'they? Yes I've told this story many times, my hometown library brought like dozens and dozens of books that were like pretty good stuff. These are well-known authors and do you want these? And they said you can put them in the dumpster Yeah It's okay We'll take them to Goodwill at least or Salvation Army it was in our town Isn'that horrible No An'I hate ta tell you Champlain Library here than worked a college same thing They had The Look magazines It wrapped like with their own Every year from the year it started bound into like books for every year and They just demolished it Yes, oh look at life. Oh Look was another magazine that was So I may have either been one I don't know, but it would have been something to like you know maybe somebody would really enjoy the archives right yeah No Amuse other stuff they got rid of too that was just heartbreaking. They're just like though in the pop throw in the fire We do needed yep physical books Yes people still read them right? Yeah So oh man people we pet sit for a lot Of them their book readers and there had piles or box well people who can afford petsitters are definitely book readers Yeah, they're intelligent people. I used to read books when we got married now we read children's books Moving on Speaking of babies smart cribs are soothing babie experience opiate withdrawal i think so there is something a little bit insight into this So these cribs or these beds, bassinets? They move right. There's a product called SNOOSmart Sleeper were created by the company and use sensors Is that what they're using snooze Yeah Oh okay well I mean they help babies Opioid withdrawal but also just help babies generally So their bassinet sleepers Yeah, but they like kind of strap you in so you're snug and they move and they respond to like the baby's movement And it was supposed like I guess mimic The Womb But man how much do you think a snoo costs? A couple that are...like three thousand at least. Less than that It is probably closer two You can rent them for Like if few hundred bucks for six months or whatever Yeah. Wow, we considered one for a while but we never pulled the trigger because it's too fucking expensive To what? Adopt Rent us new Why would you want to rent us new Because the baby wasn't sleeping well He is not going through opiate withdrawal isn' he No I'm saying this works for all babies This was not product designed or opioid withdrawal It wa s design of babie Oh, so are you saying your child does not sleep well? No my child sleeps well now but there's a period of time where were like Please sleep Nobody was sleeping Right I see Now the child is sleeping So you don't need to snoo Yeah. Well i need snoo Why can they make those for adults Yeah, I need a special thing called A Separate Room. That's what i need Separated Domicile You wanna help make it Little shed back there in the garden? Can build little door and invite kids In there to my Special Library Alright moving on How do you say this for county Matt French for Lamoille Lamoille County Sheriff's Deputy placed on leave over conversation with defendant in murder trial. This was the Fern Feather Murder Trial The Fern Feather? Remember that, Fern feather was a person who killed itself In 2022 I don't know A transgender Heinsberg woman Im sure she came up with the name from feather for herself Yes Umm...I guess Yeah Yeah, I haven't heard the surname Feather. Have you? Oh in the Native American community is... Anyway so this dude killed her and it's kind of unclear why like we hypothesized that he had some feelings for here and maybe they were not returned And the court The case was what So it was supposed to be a big sensational trial and he suddenly pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Right And got out with time served, now was on probation That's crazy So he killed this person He was in jail for 18 months or so and then gets off I mean it is a lesser charge than manslaughter This it crazy So a deputy was transporting this guy, and I guess they had A lengthy conversation. Yeah the cops aren't supposed to be talking Something that Riddell's attorney described as inappropriate And in violation of Riddell constitutional rights The only thing he was saying Like dude they're sending you What could he have been saying? That would've been Idk This dumbass should have known better not do it Yup Anyways So the conversation led Brunel's attorney to ask for a mistrial and ultimately led to an abrupt plea deal. And so he was walking free without serving any more prison time, He has been in jail for two years? Killed someone two years! That is insane Oh because they don't want have trial Well how did they call it mistrial cause this deputy fucked if all up by saying something inappropriate I do not know what you said Yeah So why did he kill her? Attorney and another law enforcement officer in the vehicle asked Brunel multiple questions about the day that He was alleged to have killed Feather, and his relationship with his defense attorney. That's crazy What town is this Uhhhhhh Good question Lamoille County I don't know Yeah Was it rape Unclear I don'think so either. For some reason, i'm thinking Hyde Park or something Yes! Hey we know Hyde Park It's a beautiful place There is so much to do there 10-15 minutes it was another one of those little towns that you were talking about You know Nobody wants No anymore. Where's the Hyde Park General Store? There is none, there is not even that fuck! There nothing I think there a little theater maybe but it would have been and you know if continued to be downtown It would be so cute right If you think about But it would attract visitors because it's got the old mansions, It has the vibe. A little out of the way Yes And then you have to go through that ugly part at Jefferson Not all away anywhere Once you get there You are like now where? Go next Exactly I did not read this about Portuguese Olympic Committee connected Vermont It's just some weird story. Some of the Vermont State documents appear to have a connection to an unlikely entity, the Olympic Committee Of Portugal for some reason they get listed under heading I can't... Comitee Olímpico de Portugal So, for some reason Google is making a mistake. Somehow lumping whatever state news is going out and for some reason getting involved with Portugal anyway Really? Yeah Google's really gone downhill Has it I feel like has You know what It now ha AI answering things They don'trust that AI will say something You scroll down a little bit, there's an website that has contradictory information. You're like what? Yeah it is just I don't know So what do you use now Still use it because its easy but How about Dogpile Dogpile That' s old one Thats when were It goes way back When this first started coming on search engines Think thas changes name to something Oh kind of like being dog pile Thats all they used for the longest time before Google came on board Is DogPiles still searching And yes, technically it'still an active search engine. Yay! That what Google says so of course they would say that... Technically And what it does is It combines a lot search engine works into one So you're getting Google this than whatever How many search engines are there? I mean if you think about Like there Dogpile Whoever heard about right Except me Asking Jeeves You know Asking What Ask Jeeves Asking Jeeves. Ask Jeeves? What's that search engine really never knew that ask Jeez, that old huh oh yeah are you being in the ever Bing Oh That thing I don't like that bing now And like it be enforced down big terrible Yeah Thats a Google thing or something right thats Microsoft Microsoft I thought so, it was like being forced on me. You ever use Yahoo? You ever try that one Oh gosh back in the day See Google is terrible but still the best It's worse than it used to be But still a better experience than these other ones Yeah Are you ready for another break Yep All right we have some dark music Dark kind of slap bass folksy I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, this is Amastera the song is Rebirth Okay we're back All right time for us to run down the worst people in Vermont This is America's favorite segment where we talk about the miscreants. The polywags, The scumbags... Oh wait can't use that It was a Scumbag Matt 1 2 3 4 Alright Scumbag Matt takes us to Matsuo's Top of the Ground St J A st Johnsbury officer faces new allegations after an investigation found he used excessive force during an arrest in his previous job in Barrie. Too tough for Barrie, moved him over to St.-Jay I mean... this happens more than we hear about that's for sure these cops He was on a body cam video pushing the suspect to the ground and delivering multiple punches Wow! What? Doesn't it hurt his fist Well he is probably all hyped up on adrenaline. I mean, yeah i'm assuming like there was something led up to this It wasn't just like this happened Yeah Right? Like maybe he's chasing this guy Maybe it wa a little bit of smartass Maybe he Was giving him some lip Yeah mayb e He s just enticing him To egg Him on Yep Maybes doing all those things But you still shouldn have right You still have keep your cool Ye u're the cop y be th c He was the coolest guy in the room. So he resigned from his job, they were going to terminate him anyway I think And so resigned and then went over straight Went over St Johnsbury They don't have background checks of cops? Like they pick up the phone and be like Hey did this guy use excessive force Punch a suspect in head Do you have any concerns about this guys Or were just like nope No. Good guy, good guy! And they have nothing to lose because they already lost him Well they want him get out of their hair probably So that's why he'll go Yeah He is fine But there are those That They just wanna get rid off That employee so bad Thay will lie Oh wonderful person Ohh yeah I've had a couple people If anyone calls me about SO and SO There gonna glowing review Because i want them outta here Really? Never done it BuI thought about It never come Oh, come on. Don't you do it Adam! That's not right Come on Look it is all them if they can snuff out Of course I could snuff our own It was like the Catholic Church with the priests Oh come one Yes No Come On You want to get rid of those So just keep shuffling around That exactly what are they People who don' answer emails I'm not talking about people who are raping children, like it's like a different thing or killing children. Okay That was you know again She had trail of killing babies remember No wash she was dark shit We just took left turn didn't we? Alright going over to Plainsfield Plainsfield investigators are just unimpressed with the state response to across events crash investigation with this incognito, because I've reached my limit. So what happened was a July 16th A car basically crashed into piece of town equipment being operated by town worker the driver of vehicle hit backhoe While it was operating? Yeah well yeah Well It didn't see thing great big yellow thing in front Sometimes you have some drinks and it's hard to stop. I guess, i don't know Something got his attention This person got out checked the damage on their truck And took off A hit and run On public property But because they're in Plainfield The victim knew that person He was like oh! It is Brian Hallock So the cop rolls up It was Brian Halleck, and the cops said that he was unable to chase down the victim because He's dealing with a suspect. Oh I'm sorry i have it backwards The police officer said that He is unable To document This scene of crash Because Trying Locate This Suspect Eventually Find$100 And Will Have His License Suspended For A month Pfft. A hundred dollars? Oh my god! And you think he's gonna care whether you suspend his license or not, do ya- Do you really think that is going to stop him Isn'tha crazy Yeah That all that happened Yeah These guys all know each other right I mean the cop definitely knows this guy Or there is something fishy here Something Is fishy Something fishy Honey of the drivers in the state of Vermont are driving on suspended licenses. Well, I happened to have a roommate at one time here in Burlington that was also didn't have like insurance one his car There's an argument that you would drive better because you're scared again pulled over He still got DUI besides The other thing Well it is also tough To drive better when your drunk So there's that. All right, moving on! Colchester police are searching for the suspect of a shooting in Colchester because he is armed and dangerous I got pretty good photo of this guy Yeah Looks like it was pretty smooth cat And they know his name Ryan Ducharme Ducharm? He is facing attempted murder charges connected to the shooting Of 23 year old man over weekend I always wish they said what they're fighting over. What's the beef? Yeah, is it money?, Is it drugs?. Is a woman.? It has got to be one of those three What else would thatbe Or combo That would then really bese Like eruptive Yes eruptive Erruptive Right He combines like volcano Yeah, give it all the right amount of whatever it needs and hey It blows Victim is in critical condition or do a quick search if they found this guy. No Still on the run three days later What do you think? This guy's Springfield Massachusetts Could be Now he'd gone How far gone like Milton All the way to Milton? Is he like, Milton gone?! Yeah somebody's hiding him out over in Milton. MILTON! We've been going to Milton a lot You mean we can't prosecute Milton I donno Do you think that guy is on the lam i mean do you think that guy On The Highway I mean, he's a young dude. He says he is of Burlington but like......I don't know let us give this guy the best case scenario...He got into tussle with fellow Feared for his life Pulled out gun and shot him In way that was not gonna kill guy Stopped altercation About painting best possible picture Yeah absolutely Now i am defense attorney So, if I was this dude....I would probably......20 to 21?..jump in my car and hightail it You know what's up with that You're scared you're dumb Yeah Turn yourself in That also dumb People forget about this The person actually The cops don't What waas that It just last week I can't even remember what was that? Who's that guy in critical condition in the hospital, like what was tha all about again We'll forget about it but hopefully the cops don' Hopefully someone at police station is keeping record of this stuff Well maybe they will pick him up we will see Alright moving on down to Middlebury Police say Bredport teen has admitted killing his father last year They were just talking bout Bredpor They were They say Steven Nucholo Jr. 18 who ha autism I don't know if that's relevant. Yeah, what does that got to do with- Well it depends on how bad is? Yes Like he wouldn' t know what It meant to kill someone Possibly That could be very far of the spectrum Or maybe you just Don'' like talking To people And his father kept trying Open him up Who knows His father might have been abusive We dont know The father was found dead At hi rental property with a gunshot wound to the head so I'm guessing that was an unexpected situation. Someone's assassination? Yeah So he is living with foster parents which already tells you his father probably is A scumbag Oh, see oh See what do you mean He went out and said You know what Gonna make that scum bag pay See if you have sense of justice Your probably not tha autistic right No I love this video. He's wearing a shirt that says,''I hate morning people and mornings and people.'' Nice shirt! It sounds like humor Again curious what this father did to incur his son''' s wrath? Maybe nothing Abandoned him That could be one Although it probably was A good thing Maybe if he wasn'taken from him he was so bad, the father. You know what I mean?–I love that we just mix stuff up–Oh yeah!–'i think.' Okay Last one of the scumbag map i think...yeah Burlington Two people face charges after allegedly stealing clothes from a shop and then assaulting A burlington police officer Wait minute Are you talking about Burlington Clothes Heist Yes Oh, and then but we bring back catamounts isn'that's next. That is next And then Levi the crime okay see how they're all in order on than document But this isn a lot of scumbag oh I didn' know now were going to segue into good story We do that once at awhile You know you gotta have separation Stories with these segway well Then you know which it did say okay end up scumbag now beginning of nice stories just so people know the officer spotted two people acting suspicious and carrying clothes on hangers okay the police approached a couple on Pearl Street they ran away and later fought the officers trying to arrest them her name was Kyla any those K names 32. Let'see, would that be? That could be it! Kyla LaDouche Ladoosh She was... Doosh Douchebag We get a clue Alright so if you're going to steal clothes don't punch the cop just steal the clothes Moving on Should Oh sorry we are done with this scumbag map Yes and now we're on to happy things. Should we bring back catamounts is a question that researchers are asking, that's the very quick... I feel like you didn't really think about that very much? Hey if it clears out all these developments That would be great! It was like oh my gosh its either homeless people or its catamount Come outta here Catamounts dragging homeless out into the woods. That's what she wants Oh, well Okay so we're pro-Catamount only if they eat humans Because you said developments you didn't necessarily say homeless You want them to like go into apartments and pull people out Well not that far come on No They had a bear scaring up some some neighborhood on Dorset Street, one of those you're driving out I guess. If you're heading south the one to your right that big development The new ones? That was the older area But there was a bear running around that area Really?! People were scared Aww Bears are scary Right You see bears it does make yo think I think i've said it before like maybe people around here feel about bears the way Feel about alligators. It's like yeah, they're fine They're not gonna bother you You feel that way about alligators? Yeah Why they are slow and just too lazy to move because they aren't enjoying the sun Im not what THEY want TO eat ThEYY will EAT me ifI bother them but IF don'T bother THEM were totally cool bro Really?!

They probably want to eat your dog They want to eat whatever they usually Eat turtles or whatever Like what do the alligators Eats? Fish Small dogs I know but small dogs is not their natural prey Smaller alligator Dine on chihuahuas Those little terriers Little yapper Dogs So we're pro catamount bring them back Yeah Bring them back Yes Whoo-hoo i hope yeah Bring it back Just unleash them in The town of Middlebury But yeah, this is some sort of releasing program from but they're not real catamounts are they? Not if they've been like raised by some plush bag. Catamounts kind a term used in Vermont and not in other places Are these bobcats They're usually called pumas or mountain lions So those three ar the same animal but called by three different names. The last catamount that called Vermont home was shot in the late 1800s How nice, right? I mean... How do they know that waas the last Well You know 1800's are a little sketchy there with keeping records in there It sounds like it'll go viral My cousin Rocky said he saw one and told us story Tell uus again He is deer hunter Shot of deer In Vermont Yeah, in the Northeast Kingdom. It was out behind... up the hill from where my uncle lived He said as soon as he shot it and waited all of a sudden this big cat came out Big Cat-O'Mount How long ago? It's gotta be 20-something years ago. My cousin Rocky... He is dead? Yeah, he probably had a few out there in the field but he swears it You know I don'think.. yeah you can say that But it was huge bullshit Bu tI think h e was telling truth on this one About twenty year Yeah. I mean, they've been seen—I don't know if they're cat-mouthed They could have been eastern mountain lions from somewhere else From Maine or something that wandered over here Who knows? Anyways All right Glow this is our last happy story Meet the Chester police crime fighting dog Levi Levi is a French bulldog There's Chester Hope not near big body water Chester, Vermont?
