18
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: protest business and they started bringing in Christmas trees downtown

19
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,920

49
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: So I was last night. I was just finishing up

50
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: the staircase. Have you seen that series? I'm sorry, No,

51
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,680

52
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: was finishing that up, and as I finished that up,

53
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: I turned off the TV and I sort of just

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: sat there in quiet, and I started thinking that I

55
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: was going to talk to you, looking at my show notes,

56
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about something we could do with

57
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: pump inflation, and I'm just gonna pitch this to you

58
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: on the air. We thought maybe on Monday, if it suits,

59
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: we would take over your pumpkin patch. That would be fun. Yeah.

60
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: So when you say, well, that's right, that's the right question.

61
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: What do you mean take over my pumpkin patch? Well,

62
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: you know, I got a look at my schedule of

63
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: a lot of school groups. Well, I know, I know

64
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: you're very popular and in demand. But my thought was Monday,

65
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: during our show, which is six am to ten am

66
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: every morning, we could be out there with like jingle

67
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: ball tickets and some music and some photo ops and

68
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: we could just give your pumpkins away. Well, that sounds fantastic.

69
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: We can have the bounties up and running for everybody

70
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: who wants to use those. Um, that would be terrific.

71
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: So I think that would be awesome. So people who

72
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: would come by Tina's pumpkin patch would drive away with

73
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: the free pumpkin while supplies last. That's the idea. I love.

74
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: That sounds great. Make it happens. She's great to negotiate with. Um.
