They have long time how many years is it thousand years it really matches well with that backing track thank you yeah really thank you I knew it was a long time I couldn’t think of how long it was I’m like 100,000 million I don’t know some
Type sometime of years a long time ago a long many many many years 1,000 seems to be the go-to number though for that kind of stuff yes yeah what is that about I don’t know why is the Thousand the the the big number it’s fairly big you know yeah well that way
Though so all right so what else there Beth now let’s see you we there’s a few things that we want to you went into uh following up on last week’s show you went into sweeter than sap I did I took Mark and Ezra and what’ you get did you get the cinnabun
Yes so I didn’t tell Mark anything about it I just said get in the car we’re going to go up toown and he said I don’t want go up town stupid and so we went up town because he has no choice when I say things obviously and we we went in he’s
Like oh we getting baked goods and I’m like yeah and he and I said wait till you see these cinnamon rolls now right before we got in there another family had gone in right and there was an an older couple and they were adorable and the the woman turns around she didn’t
Know me you know but she turns around looks right at me goes oh my god did you see those cinnamon rolls they’re the size of my head I’m like yeah you’re not kidding yeah and they are they are huge you were saying last week that they were
The size of dinner plates and I laughed because I thought you were exaggerating no she said dinner plates I said a turtle they they’re like like a turtle they look like a turtle to me same size yeah sure yeah and um I was like cuz we exaggerate here on AG today and we
Weren’t in that case that was not an exaggeration that was insanity is what that was so I got one and it’s super cheap I think they were like six bucks for that huge cinnamon roll and really got a cookie yeah I was thinking I was thinking like nine bucks honestly
$910 but no I mean judging by the size of I’m thinking like 16 what are you going to get nowadays for $9 if we’re just being honest true that’s true that’s true so we took it home and I heated it up in the microwave for like 30 seconds Zab zabawa Zaba MH and
Um you know how like when you have a cinnamon roll that you didn’t make yourself the the outside ring is always like kind of dry and you’re like I got to get through the outside ring to get to the juicy of the middle the middle
Yeah and I am the queen of waiting till Mark pulls the outside off and then I dive in and get the middle part and then you and Taylor both it pisses me off yeah the fact that we’re still married is a a miracle and Mark was eating it you know
With his little knife and fork like he does cuz he’s so cute and he um he’s like this is this is really good and I’m like oh let me try a piece of the outside and I’m like okay no guys this was a legit like like a perfect perfect
And I’m not even saying that because she was on the show last last week I I you know how when you roll out a cinnamon roll right before you cut it a lot of people don’t put the inside gooiness all the way to the edge because they’re
Using that to like attach the cinnamon roll it was gooey all the way to the edge wow that sounds good oh my God it was good yeah well good uh so it was I even scraped the icing off the plate that’s how good it was how was the icing
Obviously it’s homemade yeah it was freaking good I got a question for you Budd yeah but wait wait is there more to the story yes so I saw her mom yeah in there uhhuh and she was in the back and I didn’t want to interrupt her cuz she
Was baking stuff and so her mom was there and she was I are are you Bethany and I’m like yes and she goes well I just wanted to tell you how thankful we are that you let Sarah come on the show because she’s not a big talker to people
She doesn’t know and she just really opened up on your show and you guys had the right questions to ask her and you sounded like you really knew what you were talking about very nice I wonder what part of the show she was listening lore that’s the longest cheer in the
History of Cheers well you know they’re very happy that the mother lik the showy and then um she said and I I think she has planning on bringing you guys some food oh thanks now we’re talking now I’m happy now you’re getting to the goodies yes speaking
Of Matt having facial hair this is a this is a you know fight we both have right does it make eating cinnamon buns yes so much more difficult it makes eating a lot of things difficult it gets all in the mustache it’s all in the
Stash and you know in the goatee too if you’re particularly uh uh aggressive in the way you eat uh you know same thing with wings you know how often I suck things out of my mustache oh my god well you got to constantly have a napkin it’s
Like bite wipe bite wife bite wife and I hate it it’s either that or the mustache is going in the mouth you know it’s one of the two choic what do you mean the mustache is going in the mouth stop talking mine’s long enough to go around
My lip stop talking yeah yeah I I I let it get that way and then that gets really annoying and I have to trim it well you know what sucks is when you go to bite a burger and you bite your mustach yeah yeah yeah or like you’re
Really bored driving in the car and you start trimming your mustache with your teeth I I like to chew I like to chew on these edges right here my chew edges so sorry so sorry do the fum Manu Ed how do you not girl playing with her hair you can’t not do it
Exactly that’s what I say aren’t you glad that it’s not a problem sorry Debbie Debbie Debbie Jones here as well why are you why are you saying sorry to her I was traumatized by this conversation oh I saying sorry cuz she went to talk and I didn’t have the mic
On oh it’s not traumatizing this is fact I love you too this is facts yeah I was simply saying aren’t you glad this is not an issue we have to deal with now although my testosterone level is super high eventually this might happen but right now okay wow don’t take any tips
From these two that’s what I’m hear listen there’s nothing like a there’s nothing like a good must mustache chew when you’re driving down the road yeah it’s true it’s true even a chew in the lip and a and a chew on the teeth man that’s That’s Right Chew in
The there you go just a pinch between your cheek and gum of hair and tobacco that’s all you need stood as as I am now okay so Disturbed so that was nice though so parents watched the show and they were uh pleased with it pleased she
Was oh she was all excited now um uh you said that I don’t know if you said this this time or or when it was before I know you said it before but I don’t know if you said it again this time if you got to that point or we interrupted you
Um the uh the parents also the mother her mother also said that she doesn’t really talk a lot yeah but she we brought her out of her shell we did yes and um that’s nice that’s nice so and you know I have to say she she spoke
Very well for someone who doesn’t really talk a lot well and for somebody who’s only 24 years old yeah she handled herself very well I would have if if you hadn’t said that and she had not confirmed it I would have thought she was older but she looks she looks young
Though I mean like not young but she does look younger she doesn’t look older than 24 but she herself very she’s very mature in that way and I mean I would assume that comes from moaning your own business I mean I don’t know my own business I don’t know but like I would
Assume like you have I don’t recommend it you kind of have to have a certain bearing so that people take you seriously yeah well you know what it is she’s just she knows what she wants to do and she’s driven to accomplish and I really admire that and usually people
Who are that way are way more mature than their age because they because they were always you know singly focused on what they wanted to do yeah they weren’t you know spending all their time partying and that’s that’s what the worker mentality is to go out and party
At you know working for the weekend all that stuff but the entrepreneur the business owner mentality is I can’t be bothered with that you guys are idiots you know it’s true that’s how I was with my music when I was growing up what that’s how I was with my music when I
Was growing up everybody be going to parties I’d be at home playing the piano that’s right writing songs that’s exactly right you you have to be dedicated explain those people that are like me then well what are you like that don’t party that don’t party well that’s just cuz nobody wants
To invite you to things oh no no no that’s not true got to hit below the belt there L way to just knife to the hearts to everybody that’s listening to the show right now I know that you like me even if Matt doesn’t well I mean the reality
Of it is that for the comments to start coming through Bethany’s the best yeah that’s what I was going to say is that people uh liked Veronica better and they like you better that’s why I have you guys on cuz if I didn’t have you guys on
Nobody would watch it’s true that’s what they say in the emails is not true it’s exactly true I have a bunch of them here today we’re going to get to later on you know I had an entire I’ll give you one sentence from one if it weren’t for Bethany I
Wouldn’t watch your show now I can read upside down and that is not what that says if look if it weren’t for Bethany she she’s a mom she has the ability to read upside down and backwards exactly so so go ahead so you would have been part of the
Salem which trials is what you’re saying oh 110% I would have been burned yeah I had the steak um no I was just having this conversation with somebody the other day and I can’t remember who it was but somebody was saying about you and I said he’s really not that bad
Of a guy I said and I said that’s how I explain you to everyone 110% I said on the show he is a completely different human than what he is like in real life I said what you guys don’t see is the dinner we have afterwards where he analyzes everything
He just said and like we have to counsel him through the anything he said absolutely true what you guys are also missing is how Matt and I are nothing different from what we are on the show when we’re together oh we’re together conf that it’s all about who you’re in
Front of but wait so what what were they saying like how do you work with such an [ __ ] or no no no no no they were just like he just seems very like that’s exactly what pompous and arrogant like he has you know he’s a is a he’s kind of
A dick he I don’t that word was not said but and I said yes but it’s a shtick yeah it is a shtick like I because and you know what example I bring up every single time I said he is not like that because he sent us as a group a
Valentine’s Day text about how thankful he was that we were all here and somebody who is a jerk face would not do that agreed yeah uh well I appreciate what you do I mean like I said last week you guys are here out of the goodness of
Your own heart you’re not getting paid to do it you’re just here to blow off steam and have fun and I don’t know what other motives you may have and so I appreciate it I recognize you know it’s time and effort you come in with the
News all ready to go and uh you know I mean you’ve got a job you’ve got a kid you’ve got other stuff to do I’m aware of that stuff but frankly someone who is as nice as they are in person on a show like this is boring to me like you know
The like the the dick kind of attitude is like what makes me laugh and that people go I do you work with it he’s such a he’s such a dick like what why would you put on that makes me laugh like they don’t get it they don’t get
The character and that’s what is funny to me so I like when people will tell me these stories cuz it tells me I’m a better actor than I think I am maybe I should get into acting there you go yeah problem solved with the voices you’ve done for us you 100%
Could get into voice acting at the very least speaking of yeah that would be fun I I have a proposal for you Matt you know Taylor and I like to go to New York City go to but listen you haven’t even heard the proposal po finish don’t want

Was yeah put that on a tshirt I wasn’t thinking about that cuz he’s mentioning Broadway so I was looking up Broadway stuff grant grant once again coming in for the save Grant in Australia knows what’s going on he knows what’s going on what’s rais In The Sun ra A Raisin in
The Sun oh rais thought it said rais in the sun rais in the sun you look like an uncultured swine that’s all right I’m a marine I can be uncultured Third Battalion third Marine Infantry Regiment 3 three so uh okay so that reminds me uh I’m going to skip
What I wanted to talk about next and move to the third thing Bingo cards uh We’ve noticed in the comments people are talking about Bingo cards Cindy and I were talking about it the other day and she wants to make them cind uh go go to
The mic if you don’t mind please you can go to the intercom or whatever or yeah there there you go there you go just go to that mic all right uh so Cindy oh thanks let’s talk about this now here uh pull that a little closer to your mouth
So that we can hear you all right very good don’t be afraid to manhandle it there you go there you go okay so um what are you thinking here what do we need from the folks so we need suggestions on what you want to go in
The boxes for the bingo card right now how are we going to do this because we were saying the problem we’re going to have is distribution right walk us through this here bingo card thing I don’t I’m I’ve lost what you guys are talking about well if you pay attention in the chat
Pay attention in the chat you’ll notice that a lot of talk about Bingo cards and that wasn’t on my bingo card today and all that type of stuff so like a game of bingo yes like a game of bingo all right okay you know so we need some
Suggestions on what to put on it there is so the card um you can set it up so that it mixes them up we were going to do a few different options and you were going to put them on patreon so we’re going to test that out but the first step is getting
Right like we were going to have five we going to have five cards right HBY mentions Marines something like that no I I got you I got I got a few in the box right now ready to go Third Battalion third Marine Infantry Regiment three
Three one one is one is what was Matt’s band’s name no no it’s not a quiz do you know how to play Bingo no I’m not 85 years old I don’t know how so what happens is you have to if if it’s said during the show you mark that
Off and you have to get them oh my god did you see drinking game but without the alcohol said Matt complaining who had Bingo cards on their bingo card wait what that might wa let’s think about Anthony’s phone call last week folks okay Beth what he said Tri said who had
Bingo cards on their bingo card exactly exactly nobody that’s good I like that so okay so that’s the so the idea that so now let’s say we do five of them so five uh jumbled up versions right and then so I can patreon created a thing
Where you can do like a store with digital downloads I can make things free there as well and so I can make them free I can make them available to anybody I think I think I know I can make them yeah I know I can make them
Free to paid members I’m not sure I can make them free to free members or non-members I don’t know I’ll look into that but if I can do it I’ll make it free I’ll put I’ll put five different uploads up there we’ll name them 1 2 3 4
5 and you know everybody just go on and pick them at random you know hopefully yes now if you win go ahead so then what happens is if you get Bingo you have to put bingo in the chat M and the first we haven’t determined yet 5 10 people
However many right are going to be put into a drawing so that we can draw the winner of that week’s Bingo cuz that’s like that’s the other thing too is like you know we’ll have let’s say five versions right but what if everybody decides well I’m going to pick something
Random and they all go to three cuz that seems to be when you say a number between one and five people go three so because it’s between one and five a number not the number so uh you know so like then we’ll have a lot of people
With five so we have to cut it off at a certain number in case that happens okay go ahead well that’s it so wait so you got to have you complaining as one of them me mentioning the Marine Corps well so this is right you got to have got
Train whistle so everybody oh there you go panc is no time there is no time pancakes in small mountains so um goad putting these in the chat and then I’m going no time lent gets hurt that’s a good one and then we’ll he’s not even on
Right now to defend himself at least I don’t I think Veronica’s is should be on there too I don’t know how you write oh man that’s an easy win though cuz if if I get you laughing with that I keep doing it you know wait listen that’s the best noise I think
That’s ever been recorded in history I love that it’s my favorite Veronica noise it’s better than her singing about Kazo okay all right so that’s the bingo card thing there we’re gonna so but we need help from the the the Vulcan the V uh to uh yeah come up with the cards yeah what we’re putting on them so they’ve already started it looks like so we’re going to keep track of
This we’re going to take notes and and we’ll incorporate them thank you the lovely Cindy ladies and gentlemen thank you very much Cindy did great he’s still not understanding it no I got it I’m I’m on board now yeah he gets it wait one of the things should be
Colby going wait what are we talking about sounds like you have a an excuse shuffler that just comes up with this magic card as soon as you need it every time you lose one you get a new one I stand by those words all right so so back to uh a
Couple more things here uh we’re getting close to I got but I got to get this in here so okay listen so my lease is up on my car right it’s going to be up in July but I like to get out of you leasing
That car bro yeah out get out get out quick leases are the worst thing in the world I love leases you know why cuz every 3 years when the car starts needing repairs on certain thing I get rid of it I get a new car and why am I
Going to why am I going to go into debt for something that loses value over time then you can own it what own own something that’s worthless listen you you’re you’re thinking short-term game if you own it and then the next vehicle you want to go get it takes that much
Money off of that vehic I understand but they do that with the leases too so they transfer over your miles if you go over no no no if you wait until the end of the lease if you get out before it they give you the buyout value and it’s I I
Like having a new car and and the other thing is uh well here so listen so I want to get a Wrangler right now they’re not they’re not cheap but uh last year was better and this year looks like it’s going to be good now I’m not one to say
Uh oh uh I might have something coming in this year so I’m going to go and yeah spend extra money but I wanted to just go and like price them out right yeah so I go to the Jeep dealership uhhuh and I’m walking around the lot I’m
Looking in the Jeeps cuz I want a manual transmission I don’t want what oh shut up Kobe first of all listen if you get a Wrangler also turn your camera turn your camera a little towards you you’re like almost out of the shot there you go
Hi for those of you not watching I turned it all the way around on Beth um so so um uh no listen there’s a there’s an un it’s actually in the Constitution that if it is not a manual transmission it is not a Wrangler no matter what you call it
This is truth also if it’s also like a mini pickup truck it looks like some kind of weird Lego thing also not a Wrangler you going to start giving people the two finger wave okay so when I had my Wrangler when I had my Wrangler all of a sudden I noticed people started
Waving at me and I was like what’s this about and I felt I felt so cool I’m like hey man you know and then my best friend would always make fun of me he’s like oh you’re such a tool like like you hate that stuff and I’m like yeah but they’re
Waving to me I don’t want to be rude cuz then they’ll go around telling everybody else that owns Wranglers hey this guy doesn’t wave back it’s like the motor like Harley D guys yeah they point the ground or whatever so anyway yeah I asked cuz I had a boss who owns a Harley
Mhm and I asked him about that once because I saw people do it all the time it’s two wheels on the ground that’s what that is that what that means so they’re confirming that yes sir your wheels are both on the ground the Jeep an acknowledgement of all right wait let
Me get to the point of the story cuz this isn’t even the point of the story the point of the story is this I I’m looking around in the you know in the lot right now first of all this dealership is like um it’s just it’s not
Inviting okay I’m not going to name which one but it’s in Handover now it’s not inviting um it looks like they don’t it it almost looks like it was abandoned okay um and so I’m walking around the Winds you know you’re yeah yeah yeah yeah like I’m like what happened to this town like I’m coming on some ghost town in the middle of the Prairie right and so uh and then I hear a voice from behind me like in a Clint Eastwood movie got a
Question that’s all they say yeah and I turn I turn around please tell me he’s wearing boots and a cowboy hat I wish he no but it’s it’s actually kind of better he looks like Sammy the the bull Grano okay he’s got he’s got his little gouine
On his head and he’s got like a sweater vest with a button- down shirt and tie underneath it you know and he’s jacked uh you know but he’s like 5’4 and he’s like uh I said yeah actually I got a couple questions uh you know I have a
Lease with uh Nissan and I’ve always wanted to get back into a Wrangler how does that all work you know uh and he goes all right come inside well you know actually it wasn’t even that inviting it’s like all right come on inside so we
Go inside we sit down at his desk and I asked him a couple questions I go I I I understand it’s hard to get a manual transmission he goes yeah it’s not impossible but it’s hard did he really have this accent yeah yeah yeah and he’s
Looking at me like you know yeah it’s not impossible but it’s hard were you there for like 5 hours I was there for 5 minutes cuz he the the whole so you go in it’s dark inside um there were vehicles in the showroom but like they
Had Shades pulled down on the window so it wasn’t bright like a showroom should be and um I felt like there were there were a couple of other salesmen in there who were not dealing with anybody but I felt like this guy was pissed that he
Had to help me right he had to get up and also now let’s go back to 2018 when I moved down here I wanted to I needed to get a new car and I wanted to get into a Jeep so I went there to inquire and just look because it had been years
Since I had had one I wanted to see what was different same attitude back then that was six years ago seven years ago something like that so uh it that nothing has changed apparently there with the attitude and I was talking to somebody else and they’re like yeah I
Went there too same thing they they act like they’re pissed that you’re trying to give them business so I asked them a couple questions first first of all they’re all hybrids now yeah not a Wrangler they’re not manual transmission not a Wrangler so I’m like I don’t even
Want one anymore so now what I’m going to have to do Colby back to the owning thing you have to buy a used one yeah I’m going to get a used one and then just plunk around town with that because the thing is I have such bad luck with
Used cars why don’t you go get you a new truck because I don’t want to spend a fortune on gas well you only drive five miles a week I don’t think uh no I do more than that cuz I do like 20 miles on those driving videos every day oh that’s
True I I don’t well you know you don’t think of that as miles but you could start doing those walking videos oh you can kiss my butt I don’t have time to walk if walking if I could walk fast I would do it so
Anyway uh so I go over to Nissan and I’m like okay you know I got to tell you I’ll be honest with you I was going I was trying to get into a Jeep but those people are such a-holes over there that uh I forgot you guys have treated me so
Well I you’ve treated me so well all this is my this will be my third car with you guys it’s painless thank you for not being a-holes about it and he’s like oh well we’re commissioned or we’re not commissioned we’re salaried so we don’t have to you know we’re here to
Help you get what you want we don’t have to do any of the nonsense and I was like that’s great everybody should be that way and I go I don’t know what they are over there but they act like they don’t even want your business it was like did
You ever see that early episode of The Family Guy when uh Peter’s going to set up um uh like like at a Chuck it’s not a Chuck-E-Cheese or maybe it’s something like a Chuck-E-Cheese for Stewie birthday party and um and he he fails at it and so he makes up this excuse and
Tells the story and then they they cut away to the his depiction that he’s given Lois of the story and it’s like this Dark Castle on a hill with thunder and lightning and everything like that that’s kind of what it’s like at this dealership a real Glen Glen Gary Glen
Ross Vibe up in there I you know I’ve never seen it so I don’t know what you’ve never seen Glen Gary Glenn Ross I’m not a fan of Glen Close well good thing she’s not in it well I heard well I just assume she was cuz of all the
Glands um okay so there’s that and then I I decide I need to get glasses cuz I’ve been starting to squint I’m having a hard time reading I went and bought readers a few months ago I saw that yeah and so now it’s like you know maybe it’s
Been over a decade since I’ve been to an eye doctor so I need to wait how do we get from Cars to this well I’m telling you about some things that have pissed me off this week if you had a bingo card this would gr gears this is what yeah
You know what grind my gears so I go to the eye doctor right now the exam’s like now they don’t take my insurance how’s much how much is the exam 70 bucks okay fine get the exam go out to look at glasses they’re like oh we’re running specials and it’s like if
You match the blue with the red you could do all you could do two blue or you could do different blue and yellow and blue then they’re all different prices based on the colors and everything I’m like okay whatever I just whatever looks good that’s what I’m
Going to do they like $8 million well no I mean you know I glasses are always expensive right but the frames weren’t expensive but they get you with the lenses well I mean what the the one frame I picked out was 179 bucks okay and but then but then the other
Like the secondary frame I got was like 69 bucks and that was going to be my backup frame and so I was like and then they they do something where it’s it’s cheaper it’s a it’s a price in between right okay so now the girl sits me down I’ve I’ve
Narrowed it down to the two and I told her you’re you’re going to have your work cut out for you cuz I hate the way I look period And when I put something on my face I really hate the way I look so you need to be honest with me and
Tell me you know like how ugly am I so uh she was good she was good she helped me pick two I sent Cindy pictures and she picked two and those were the two I liked and I was like okay good so we’re on the same page there sit down she’s
Like okay now do you want this coating do you want the blue blocking do you want the anti-glare and I’m like well yeah I need all that stuff you know I drive cars at night and I I do have problems with uh you know glare and and
Things and I’m sitting in front of a computer all the time okay and then she’s like you want it in both lenses I’m like yeah and what do they call them progressive lenses right and I said well I’m more middle of the road and she goes no it has nothing to
Do with politics and I go oh okay and then uh she’s like puts those in and she goes now which ones do you want she shows me a chart she’s like this one is a very narrow vision and then as you go here this is more of a full vision and
And I go well I do go out on the battlefield a lot and I need big Vistas and I’m starting to do video stuff I go well maybe that one she go okay you should have taken and then she’s like $819 and I said all right so let’s start
Chipping away at those and I said you know what the backup pair I don’t need any of that stuff just give me a lens in fact I don’t even need a lens I just need it for show so by the frame so she took all the stuff off of that one and
Uh then she’s like okay $700 and whatever dollars and I was like what only took off 100 I said okay well let’s go through the thing I don’t need the super fancy lens that has the wide field of view I guess I’ll have the narrow
Field of VI like a horse so uh okay so here you know when they put the blinders on them that’s what I mean and uh so I pick whatever there and then anyway we Whittle it down to $493 what happened to the 150 or 75 or
Whatever well right so I said well so I said you know what I don’t need the second pair I’m just gonna so I took the $179 pair because it was a little more rugged and I I’m clumsy so uh so I said take the other pair off so that’s only
Like 80 bucks whatever I forgot what I said it was um but it’s under $100 so they take that off and but they also take all the lens additions on on it off as well and it still is $500 and I’m like Jesus like what if it’s just everything is so expensive
How much are those just put them on oh let’s see how blind you are let’s get a closeup here KOB which means I just got to move in oh my god oh it’s like it’s like looking through one of those old Coke bottles can you see anything right now

Yeah Cindy says it is the first so we’re going to talk to our guest bab small from Battlefield Brew Works and Spirits hi hello welcome so uh Battlefield Brew Works interesting place you ever been uh of course yes of course I’ve been there um a couple years ago I was there um who
Was I meeting a listener was there with he brought it was uh I think he was um it was military I forget which branch but he he was there with like his his guys his officers that he brought out for a tour of the battlefield and stuff
Like that and uh he was a listener to the show and he invited me out and we went out there and I had a beer with him and yeah it’s nice it’s a cool place it’s been there a long time though not under the same ownership correct no
Since 1995 it has been the same owner oh it has yeah it said different management okay but the same owner oh interesting all right so um uh yeah I remember I was there in the 90s at one point and my dad and I went there um now it’s in an old
Confederate field Hospital correct okay tell us about that so it was um and pull pull pull that mic a little closer to your mouth like this there you go oh okay this feels awkward yeah no okay so it was the the monford farm it was so it
Was just it was a farm here in Gettysburg was 180 Acres um uh we’ve dated it back to 1848 when it was built um there’s different ways you can like date things like by taxes or insurance or whatever but it was a farm okay um so
But it was so it was pre- Civil War and but then um during the Civil War it’s the oldest Confederate field Hospital during the batt Battle of B of Gettysburg you mean the oldest uh building that they made a field Hospital in right okay Confederate Confederates yeah yeah so it was Alabama
Florida and Georgia soldiers were there and on that property so the and you’re from Alabama I am yeah yeah bamy you call it bamy no oh no okay no it’s Alabama just check it they don’t say Sweet Home Alabama well that’s true but I thought you know
I mean we call it joisy when you know in Jersey making fun of ourselves so I thought maybe people in Alabama call it bamy well I mean we we’re I’m I’m an Auburn person so I we we’re barners okay so it works it works out perfect for me
To work in a barn now what brought you up here yeah right what brought you up here my husband is a uh his his job his job brought you up here yeah that’s top secret no he’s the sales route for cabota oh okay all right very good so he
Sells farm equipment all right and then so how long have you been up here um 20 years oh all right and you like it here I do I’ve been in Gettysburg for 12 years so we lived up towards State College at the beginning of our when we
First moved but um ended up in Gettysburg and absolutely love it yeah how do you how do you like the winters though I mean I imagine it’s warmer in Alabama so it’s a different kind of cold though you know you got to think like down there we’re closer to the gulf so
You’ve got like a deep a cold that like goes to your bones okay like anytime you’re near water you know the cold is different um so we have a really wet cold down there it can it can like four degrees up here um it can be 12 down
There um and they’re colder yeah I get it yeah the wet ruins everything the Heat or the cold right you statement I would rather it you know be warm rain oh me to cold rain yeah no I oh please yeah I’ll take the heat I’ll sweat and humidity uh
All the live long day I I can’t I can’t take the cold I can’t stand it I would rather be freezing yeah oh no I don’t like C I mean I don’t mind the cold now I’ve acclimated but it first it’s hard to go home my son lives in the panal
Florida and we go down and visit and um he complains constantly that you know they’re freezing at 60° and we’ve got the air conditioner on yeah comes home from work and goes what are you doing but we’re hot and I never D dress accordingly anymore when I go
Visit but yeah so you your your job at the the the um Brew Works is uh managing social media and music I do so how often do you guys have music out there so we’re booking really a lot right right now starting up we do um so I’m going to
Have the next couple of months I’m going to have music probably right now we have open mic every single every Thursday night really um tonight um we just started this last week where we’re doing it every Thursday and we’re going to try this up until the end of April see how
That continues on because you know once Gettysburg starts getting really busy with a lot of tourists and stuff people go other places on Thursday night yeah but we’ll just see how open m goes but right now we’re loving it and it’s bringing a great group of people in and
A lot of local musicians and they have a lot of fun and every other Friday we have um we call it a music jam um we have two guys come in they play music and you get up and jam with and if you want to get up and jam you can if you
Just want to sit and listen that’s cool you know so that they kind of keep that open for anybody to do that then we book music on Saturdays I’m starting to do every Saturday just left over there and booked goat yoga what’s that goat yoga goat yoga I’ve always wondered about
That now what is it like it’s like baby goats and they crawl in your chest and stuff they crawl in your back oh really oh that must feel good actually I get Cindy to step on my back once in a while and give me a good cracking she did it
The other day my back was killing me and she and she did it and it like it had me set right for two days could you imagine a baby goat doing that walking on your back I mean I don’t know if it would do the trick but I would like to who does
Who doesn’t love baby goat little I mean they’re of course they’re cute they’re adorable but i’ be afraid it would it would poop on me like no I had thought about that yeah I’d think about that that’s what I think about it’s where my mind goes immediately that hasn’t come
Up when I was talking to them about this though I mean I’m sure it happens everybody laugh sign a waiver poop wer yeah you do if it on me no no my best friend has a goat farm well is the same person no no no not the same person um
So I have I look at Goats very differently than that be look at Goats different because I’m used to like you know they they get out and then you have to get them back in the pen and then are they hard to Wrangle they can be but if you have
Food you know they’ll follow you but then I’ll follow you there’s always the one or two that get away and yeah this is new for us because you know I’m looking at doing a murder mystery I’m going to do one of those and then like I said the goat yoga
But I’m going to try to incorporate with the goat yoga with um like a tattoo artist come in and maybe do some little little succulent tattoos or baby goat tattoos to go along with the goat yoga so working on a lot of what’s a succulent tattoo you know the little
Succulent plants oh like a plant that’s what I thought you were yeah but okay like a tattoo I said it differently okay no no no I if you need a group of people to come and do like a like a staged murder Myster you know
Like like guinea pigs to try it out I think the group from AG today would be a great oh yeah group of people to try out I’ll play the detective and Kobe will be the murder victim no no I’m not saying be the actors I’m saying like participate in it
And to see how it would go yeah we’d be a good canned audience oh I think you would yeah I’ll definitely we do that yeah yeah no I would love to do that oh my God yeah that’ be fun what were you saying Colby yeah right I’m not the
Murder victim Taliban can’t even kill me bro ah it’s a good point um I did have a question for our guest go ahead being as she’s from the south and has lived here for 20 years how much do you miss from down south a lot you miss like but but I mean
I make uh the restaurant actually we do a lot of like Comfort foods like I would have at that I would you know get at home like the meatloaf and green beans mashed potatoes those kind of things you because I love home cooking and we do use you know try during season
Especially use fresh vegetables and try to you know acquire things like that so the the things that I might miss from home would be like you know just fried chicken cheese grit but you could you could make make that but but I but I cook the same way that that I I was
Raised still cook that way and you can find all the ingredients here we have Farms all over the place and so you could get whatever yeah so you can make anything yeah grits definitely you all going to make any you all going to make
Any H cakes at the at the Ry just was talking about that yesterday I said oh we don’t have cornbread no one up here knows what a ho a hoake is and I I try to explain it to people they’re like I don’t get it the lady of the evening’s behind wear
That I’m sorry you just need to cast I’m sorry folks I’m so sorry I should have done this I should have been like okay all right now so did that even make a noise yeah it’s just down low there you go I’m not even hearing it I
Oh well it’s your headphones again I we’re going to we’re going to have to reset this board one day but anyway um now music all throughout the season so there’s there’s a good deal of space in there right oh yeah and um you have something called Justine’s
Kitchen is it uh now how does that work is that uh why has it got a different name well because Battlefield Brew Works and Distillery which we are not brewing beer at this time we do have beer we have a um rotating uh tap system where
We bring in PA local PA craft beer so every time you come which most likely if you came weekly you’re going to have the same beers but every now and again you’re going to come in and we brought in another beer now how come you’re not
Brewing now um just decided to focus on the restaurant okay and on the distilled products okay so now is the distilled products that’s that’s new isn’t it well always done it that’s always been always been the primary focus because um like Ry whiskey um he makes we’ve got barrels
Now some of them are I think we’ve got a 14-year-old Canadian rye in a barrel right now we’ve got some our Rye is eight um that we call it the smile because my owner likes fun names like smile makes smile but he has a bourbon he has a bourbon also that’s in the
Barrel for five that’s been in there for five years and every now and again he’ll like open the open the barrel take a take some a couple gallons out and bottle that up and we just had opened one I think a week or so ago and brought
Some of that out and and then we’ll you know sell it sample it and let it sit longer but yeah we that’s always been a primary for and we won a lot of awards for the for the distill products um uh like 16 medals in the past three years
Four goals nice congratulations and that’s all up from the the fingerlakes that’s where we enter those contestants oh all right that so that’s been the primary a beer and Pennsylvania is different because you have to have a license to brew and you have to have a license for
Distillery so if you’re one side of your building is you’ve got to register for one and then another for for the other oh you can’t be both under the same license right that makes sense because they’re different yeah okay so you have to have so you have two licenses how
Hard is it to get two licenses for the same location I don’t think it’s hard to get it it’s just hard to like all you takes one mistake like your Distillery and you ring out on the brewery that’s a mistake oh my God so you’ve got to you
Know things like that but it just ends up this is it may be not more cost effective to buy beer by The Keg um make as much you know it’s more expensive to buy it than to make it but it’s easier and less headache and the owner just was
Um he’s he he’s always done the distill products and he loves that and it’s hard to get a brewer that wants to brew yeah consistently when that’s not something you do every single day right right right you know it’s not a something that they’re they’re going to be consist
Consistently doing that and it’s worked out and Justine’s Kitchen is we’re this is the first time in maybe when it first opened probably when had back we had a restaurant um and we’ve since then it’s been like you know food trucks or Dickies or different things come in well
Now we have turned our down little snug area we call it into a full kitchen so we are everything is made okay so it’s all made there all made everything is made to order they take you a little you know so if you order a burger your
Burger is not going to go down CU you got to go kill the cow butcher it yeah Patty that out yeah everything’s fresh made W so you have to wait you know which some restaurants say they wait might be frozen ours is not you know and so it and it’s so
Everything’s made from scratch yeah we have we have a lot of good Comfort foods but we do have some bar Foods all from scratch all from scratch with like local ingredients or yeah oh that’s good like she goes in and Justine is Justine is Kitchen her kitchen yeah
She’s a general manager as well okay and um her and her husband are running that kitchen and um and every other little aspect and where does she come from so she’s Lo she’s from She’s the local area um been here forever but she um moved over to the brewery from Fairfield oh
Okay but um she’s been in in in the area for her whole life so so you brought with you which as soon as the door opened when we went to break I could smell the deliciousness and she made this all special today for you guys oh awesome
And so like before the show I stopped at Sheets and I got a couple of cheese sticks so that I wasn’t you know overly hungry um but as soon as I smelled the food run you over you open the door as soon as I smelled the food I got hungry
Again so what have we got here I see uh you don’t even know you said right um and I I mean I know what they are but um I mean I know she we have meatloaf okay and we have some wings with a couple of our sauces that she makes she makes
These sauces herself all right um that would be the same thing it’s like when she make when you order wings the sauce we don’t have like pre-bottled sauce it’s made of oh yeah like she throws the stuff together and her and her husband they make stuff up so every time it
Might be a little bit different but I think she’s got the Peach Bourbon pretty much down to an art so so let’s crack some of this stuff open and see what we got Bethany loves wings okay so Bethany is that’s a joke there so there are she afraid of Bones she’s we
Have some boneless yeah oh boneless we brought both and there’s so there’s nothing on them at this point okay so gra have boness you got the sauces she don’t she won’t go near the boned here go ahead grab the Boneless the go ahead oh look for the bone yeah my get you my
Owner the owner won’t eat the Boneless bone in either he really all right I’m going to try a boneless first oh now wait you got you got SAU so I got a this is a honey mustard this is a honey hot barbecue and then this is a Peach
Bourbon okay here I’m going they smell really good let’s put the I’m going to eat some of this without though real quick to try it yeah all right let’s try it first son’s sauce crunchy and delicious I’m sorry to all the people in the audience who have misophonia
Probably not real real warm right now but probably chicken even with not being like warm super warm it’s really good it is really good and those wings look fantastic um they’re not breaded which I like yeah I don’t like when people bread Wings cuz then it gets really soggy with
The sauce right um okay so I’m going to take you want to look away cuz she’s she’s really truly afraid of Bones it’s okay all right what are the sauces we have here so this is the Peach Bourbon all right I’m going to try that one and
I’m going to pull it over here just be careful of all the electronic I definitely will and this honey if you don’t mind the Peach Bourbon yeah and this is the honey mustard can I dip before you dip if you’re going to do that here okay well I already did I have
I have forks no it has I mean you you don’t want him double diping there’s the peach oh you don’t want the bone your she’s Afra of bone I got you I got you it’s crazy so all right um guys you want to try the wing or we’ll wait until after
The segment they can eat honey this was a hot barbecue stick okay and what is this is really good let me let me dip into that one there just a little bit there now she’s not going to eat this you know oh oh I’m sorry you messed up I’m Sorry oh my God there’s poor people at home have to watch us eat wings but they’re really good and I love these wings okay now I know that’s not what I pulled where to go when I want wings yeah these are these boneless ones are really good the
Boned ones are really good this is a full meal here okay what is the full meal so this is the honey mustard yeah oh the honey mustard I wanted to try that it’s really good it’s not like like sometimes you get a honey mustard and it’s it tastes
Like one or more of the other it’s really really sweet yeah this this is like a good combo in other words it’s not craft honey mustard I’m sorry about that oh there’s like go pepper in it y yeah it’s a little spicy got the mouth noises on this episode I know I’m sorry everybody at home that has problems with that there really and those potatoes are really Smooth that is really those ones right there Taylor would be inside out right now if she was list all those people that hate are dying I know so the I hate it too I don’t know why I do that to people a really different flavor it almost tastes

Then we do this is not great friend ham and bean soup oh yeah she makes oh I was going to bring you chili too she makes we call it black and tan so we use a stout beer and she puts that in the chili and it is amazing this probably
That’s just one of my favorite things in there now and you get C we also do bread bowls uhhuh so you could get like um you can’t get the ham and bean in a bread bowl because that would be you know that would ruin the it would get mushy but
You can do chili in a bread bowl you can do anything in a bread bowl You Can Do Magic yeah but she also does doubles um we have double bread balls like bread bowl for two that’s an awesome IDE we do that but this is like a and then there’s
A some of our signature cocktails and right now this is what we have a and right now this is some of our drinks so that’s good that she the beers yeah yeah because nobody’s here those are the those are the days when people aren’t here last summer we really did have a
Decline in visitation I think so that was bad last year we’re we’re slowly um and like just doing this but slowly um our we we’ve noticed more people coming in we’ve really like marketed to um the fire academy and and those kind of places you know just trying to get
People to know about us because U like the people are doing we I I met with earlier today about goat yoga the guy said he’s lived here his entire life and had stopped drove a school bus and everything but he had never been inside the building I mean so many people have
And I didn’t even know you were here yeah well it’s set back off the off the main roads there so I could I could understand why they might not go down that Ro big sign out front oh I know I’ve I’ve noticed it for years uh and
I’ve been in there um so the so here’s a little so you know I hear from a lot of people that listen to the show and everything right and the number one complaint was the beer no no no no not about you guys no about Gettysburg is
That no one is open past 9 o00 it’s the it’s the bane of our existence it’s the bane of our existence but you know what you know what though the people who the few people who are open past 9: are roll rolling in the dough because the people
Are like oh well this is the only place to go to I’m saying you got to stay open later got to create a night to is like um well I guess because I go like a lot of the people who like go out to dinner
Are that we we we really want to F like get people to come to dinner nobody not a lot of people are going to eat dinner at 9:00 well I mean I will I have I and I have too I’ll get home from work and
I’m bu to eat but um you know with music when we do have music we will stay open later when we have music I me we’ve um but no but see here’s the thing people are on vacation true so they they don’t eat dinner at 5 or 6 like they might at
Home because they have no schedule they’re they’re you know they’re on vacation so they would eat at 8 or 9 because maybe they’re they’re you know especially in the summertime when it’s light late they’re out doing stuff when it’s light you know so maybe they’re
Like I we eat later 8:00 9:00 and then they’re like everything’s closed even McDonald’s yeah I know I know so they got to go to Sheets it’s or or we got a new place now whatever what new place yeah that new chicken out by um Royal Farms Roy F
Roo fantastic we love everybody does Fried Chicken is the best in the world um but I I’m telling you but I get it I I do try it just try it you know in the in the peak month like when we had um St Patrick’s Day for
Instance we had a band in and they played till we had them scheduled to play till 9: they stayed later we so we were open way later and people were even the band said oh I want to order food because you know I know your kitchen’s
Going to close no we we kept we keep that kitchen open as long as you’re here you want food you know we’ll we’ll keep it open until you know cuz you know we say hang out drink a little bit we’re cleaning yeah we don’t mind you sitting
In if you want to drink we we are not going to when we’re done and you’re done drinking yeah then we’ll leave yeah that’s the way it should go and people so when the word spreads about that it’s like no they stay open as long as we’re
Willing to eat and drink you know call and say I’m coming call and say are you still open call and say see what you guys should do you should advertise on the show and you should say we’re open late and make that the selling point is
We’re open late and people not just a drive through yeah right no not just a drive-thru I mean honestly like that’s PE there’s a few people that do it and and they’re my owner is probably listening I’m sure I hope so I hope so and even if that
Means you open late the the key is stay openly not it doesn’t matter when you open it’s when you close that’s the problem that people have and it’s not I’ve haven’t heard anything specifically negative about you guys I’m just saying in general in the town that’s the big
Grie everybody has I I get it I mean I got off work before and like even just ran through McDonald’s and they say are you door Dash and I’m like no well then then we’re closed yeah it’s so weird and I was like it’s 8 o’ and so it’s like
Okay well I’m door Dash in I’m door Dash I changed my mind I decided today to work just wanted some french fries just wanted some fries so but they wouldn’t serve you if you weren’t door dashed that’s what they said they were closed at a drivethru at
A drivethru that’s so stupid that’s so mean it’s mean do you want me to go tell them you should thank you like McDonald’s would really care they don’t care they don’t people care when I talk I bet they do well the MC McDonald’s is locally owned it’s not a you know oh yes
I’m sure someone local owns that franchise franchise yeah there is a fire in my belly from the alcohol eat more um chicken wings or potatoes eat the potatoes you know I don’t drink very often I know can we get some Bethany some potatoes in here so she doesn’t die of a burning
Belly be gone oh it’s gone or anything anything uh meatloaf no no no oh cuz I got the pepper on it so it’s what it’s just like want some water it’s a warm and fuzzy it’s a warm and fuzzy oh you’re starting to feel it well this is
Good then this is going to be fun music it is a it is strong yeah I think it’s like 13 point oh yeah this St this is good stuff yeah so the thing like some of the things too other like the I was mentioning the the Liquors and stuff so
We do make our own Boda Jen those kind of things our whisky bourbon but we also have like that this is new for us um but we just started carrying wine and we’re doing the um three 375 Mills so the smaller bottles um and we get those from
Mark and vals down in York okay um so we’re carrying a you know a red and white wine and then we’ve got like a mango flavored wine because we have a lot of people ask for wine that’s interesting mango flavors from herb erlinger fruit wine yeah Herbert linger Herbert linger it’s
From shitz Creek yes yeah sorry Creek that’s a great show um okay so the address of the place is 248 hunterstown road so folks when you’re going out to see the Huntertown Battlefield on your way back into town stop and get some lunch there you go that’s a good idea
Stop and have a beer if you’re staying in any of the hotels on Route 30 it’s right there it’s not right down from um you know the Hampton in Walmart all those places off road yeah that that weird angled Road right by the railroad tracks and if you’re a nerd it is a
Historical it’s a little something for everybody it’s actually it’s it’s a very beautiful it’s a beautiful building when you get in there it’s it is a beautiful building and there’s a lot of I mean I mean it’s just it’s Stone and wood it’s just a cool old barn I mean we all love
That stuff go on YouTube and check out some of the Paranormal Activity that’s been done there we go it’s been a lot there well sure it has well when you drink Spirits like that I’m sure you’re going to see other Spirits right even mark my husband is uh notoriously not
Easy to please when it comes to food and things like that and he was like cuz we ended up going there to eat but Mark went in to get it because I was waiting in the car with our son and he go he comes out he go that’s a pretty
Cool place in there and that’s a high compliment for you so you ordered to pick up yeah mhm we do have that happen a lot of people some I mean a lot of people don’t want for some reason don’t want to do door Dash I guess they don’t
Want to pay it or whatever or if they’re close they’ll just scoot out and pick it up Mark has still not eaten in a restaurant oh really MH since Co really is he afraid of getting Co I have no idea what his problem is he was living
Excuse to not spend the money well he still eats the food by the way you know how they used to say it’s cheaper to eat at home it’s not anymore well I’ve done the math the just for the ingredients on a meal for me and Cindy I’m spending
Like 80 bucks and then I go to a restaurant for the same thing it’s 30 bucks trying to eat healthy is very expensive trying to eat healthy is ridiculously expensive crazy I mean it the you know like flour is 800% up right now price of flour cereal is glad we
Don’t eat we don’t eat we don’t eat cereal but I price cereal the other day I said it’s ridiculous I’m ready to go back to Ramen noodles to be honest with you have you eaten this is one of the healthy things that Matt and Sydney introduced me to the
Chicken chips oh yes wild chicken chips uh they’re protein chips um wild is the brand wi I lde you can get them in like the health food section at Giant they’re a little pricier but they’re bigger B they’re like this big instead of like the little snack they’re I think they’re
Fantastic just go through like you remember bananas used to be cheap bananas I remember everything used to be cheap yeah nothing’s cheap anymore no and I I everything probably is it’s you can save money by eating out unless you’re going to like five guys or something yeah well because right
Because every time you customize stuff it’s more a $24 hamburger now I guess is it really I haven’t gone a five gu somebody said the last time I went there was three of us and it was $75 I don’t doubt that I don’t doubt that even a
Little bit and we got single Burgers you didn’t even get that with all the topping yeah we got every you know just your standard lettuce tomato onion and did you get fries and shared fries shared cuz they give you a lot of fries you two drinks and a two drinks and a
Milkshake was $75 well the milkshake right there is 50 bucks that’s what I said yeah did you did you ever have now is almost like $4 oh that’s so stupid like fountain soda yeah oh my God what if you look like arm menu our food is
Not I mean you can get a full meal that like um yeah the prices were good very reasonable like what is it $4.95 or so our Entre is at the um the dinner there you go $15.95 yeah you get homemade meatloaf meat lasagna two barbecue cheddar chicken
Breasts with two sides going to get that meatloaf with Taylor yeah I it’s good H is really good I I’ll be honest with you because Cindy said that you’re bringing meatloaf and I was like I hate meatloaf people are Str it’s it it I’m hit or miss with meatloaf too two reasons my

And here we go Timothy Day says over the weekend I was listening to the Chris Gwyn Park update podcast and was struck by the way people who might be considering advertising on the show right the Chris gwin Park update podcast came out a month or two ago yeah but
Just to show you people don’t always listen right away so you know there’s a reason why when you advertise on a podcast it’s like a year contract because it’s a slow burn it’s repetition and sometimes if you people binge after months of not listening so that everybody has listening different
Different listening habits anyway over the weekend I was listening to the Chris Quinn Park update podcast and was struck by one of the items he spoke about with You Chris mentioned an upcoming day when they turn the lights sounds down to accommodate folks with disability sensitivities and those on the autism spectrum
Up until about 10 years ago I wandered through life pretty oblivious to those folks that were not able to enjoy things as I was able to not that I was a douche about it but just not as aware as maybe I should have been the park I’m sorry the
Actions the park is taking as well as podcasts like your PTSD one are greatly helping this awareness for Knuckleheads like me one of the things that I have discovered is that there are not near enough discussion activities and resources for what is a huge amount of
Folks who are affected the other part of this situation is that there is a great difficulty in getting attention or services for this broad swath of humanity thank goodness that we have at least begun discussing PTSD in all forms anyways good job I’m bringing to light uh uh this situation these hidden
Aspects of people’s lives need our recognition and awareness I guess it’s just part of trying to be nicer overall thanks for reading just uh let me know when you’re uh in business mode oh yeah because Tim’s talking to me about some business ideas and everything like that
So thank you very much for that Tim uh this is from Mark with a c Mark says I cannot thank you for enough for all you do you’re an inspiration and truly understand the meaning of the sacrifice of all the people who served and Our obligation to those who never had the
Opportunities we had I became a patron because of your incredible content and the knowledge you disseminate is unlike any other podcast to and I have two oh meaning like also okay you missed a no uh and I have uh listened to many I uh do not know how to increase your
Followers but I wish you the very best and I am glad to have the privilege to communicate with you you’re an inspiration thank uh your PS your contribution to the Gettysburg community and your service to keep the memory of the sacrifices of those so long ago is
Invaluable you are a true edim micor I’m in my 60s and I hope to one day get back to Gettysburg and have the honor to meet you that’s very nice of you mark the honor is all mine thank you very much uh hello addressing Gettysburg says this
Other one I’ve been listening to your podcast every day while delivering mail in Jenkin Town PA today I was listen to this one Debbie Debbie listen Debbie you there you back there okay listen Deb Deb listen I’m listening all right here we go hello Jesse gburg I’ve been listening
To your podcast every day while delivering mail in Jenkin Town Pennsylvania is it Jenkin town or is it jenkinstown and he just forgot the s nobody knows today I was listening to an episode from January 25th 2021 Gettysburg house histories with Kendra debany and I heard Matt describe the
Home he was living in at the time on Water Street and realized that I lived at that same address from 2007 until 2016 guys it was fun hearing Matt describe the inside especially the pocket doors thanks for the memor memories and thank you for your podcast
Jim uh so there you go Debbie Debb’s debie took that over from me um so that’s that’s why I called her into that there okay now this one uh where where we go here this is a long one so bear with me but we’ll get through it together and uh and whatnot
Here we go this is from Mike mccrum he says hello Matt now by the way just so you know when you become a patron and I see it at some point within the week after you joining I will go and I will send you uh a personalized email
Thanking you and asking you you know how you found us and what made you decide to become a patron that’s very sweet so that’s what these people are responding to uh hello Matt I didn’t reply immediately to your message because I figured that I have a lot to say you
Sick son of a [ __ ] and I wanted to give it some thought so if you were seeking a py response this isn’t it all my route of finding you goes through Tim Smith as I recall I’m a big fan of his and I was searching for YouTube
Videos featuring Tim I happened to upon and ask a guide video featuring Tim and from there I found the free feed on Spotify after I consumed the wealth of information there I listened to it again and again eventually my brain caught up to the fact that I could join your
Patreon and get much much more it’s actually a very nice email so I’m I’m reading it like it’s mean primarily I we got that we picked up on it yeah primarily I joined because what you are doing is the single best resource for discovering everything about Gettysburg in addition your
Patreon is absolutely loaded with quality material this is opposed to the vast majority of patreon hosts that really are just looking for a few bucks and offering very little in return oh believe me I’ve been accused of only wanting to get the money and blah blah
Cuz I’m rolling in it baby oh I’m rolling in it oh my God we not that’s sarcasm remember that Matt had alcohol before this everyone yeah I’m just telling the truth now uh there are other good sources of information particularly the podcast with Jim and Eric and their
Deep dives into various topics however wait I didn’t read this part okay he’s just saying that we’re just different okay that’s all I’m not I don’t want to I don’t want to you know uh I also great wait sorry folks you don’t want to see my beautiful face um I
Also greatly app appreciate that maybe only half your content is about the various facets of the battle I really enjoy the focus on the town the people who are involved peripherally in the battle and topics that involve the Civil War as a whole also more Little Big Horn
Please I love the ask a guide shows but I equally enjoy the huge variety of uh other guests that you have most podcasts take the form of a formal interview which can be educational but not particularly entertaining you manag to we the a tapestry of information humor and personal experiences that is both
Educational and entertaining one of my favorite subscriber Pod episode so far is with Dave Wilson absolutely hysterical that’s like way back I don’t remember anything about that episode but Dave is a funny guy I also greatly appreciate that you would avoid talking about current political uh situations
Because I seek to escape that [ __ ] uh the vast majority of your guests also avoid it uh but there are a couple who like to interject their political thoughts which I and I suspect others don’t really appreciate however you are very skilled at steering them away from
It and back to the topic at hand all in all you are an [ __ ] and what you have created are absolute gems um I I regret not becoming a patron sooner but there isn’t anything I can do about that I will work to become a contributing member to the societ mushy
Is a better one Mushy Mushy can I have to tell some bad news here what happened we lost the signal no I mean I think we’re still alive but the mouse is not working so our camera is stuck just on you oh that’s okay well that’s beautiful
So even for Bethany’s news it’s going to be a picture of Matt totally cool not a problem totally fine wait a minute wait what it’s working did you do something no but I don’t see Chang I’m going to Swit it oh there we go a there’s there’s everybody

Order of worst to goodness oh God okay okay so the worst one just happened yesterday um there is a gentleman from mcer town which is like two towns east of here going towards Hanover right um who was released on bail for um you know sagor ring and um on
$500,000 bail and um about a week ago and he went into mcsherry’s town and abducted a 12-year-old girl at gunpoint um the police were called immediately they chased him now it was the one that he was accused of uh was it well the article that I read this
Morning um in the paper the one that he was I believe that’s what it said I’m pretty sure okay um the article I read was older okay um and they chased him through Hanover and he pulled off into like a field outside of Littest town and um
Killed himself in front of the little girl um so they were attempting to to issue they were in the process of issuing an amber alert um but never got it out because they caught him so quickly so yeah I mean it she was not away from her home for very long thank
God um but still she’s going to need some serious therapy um after all of this because she just witnessed a man kill himself right in front of her well and not only that but the other the other happening put her through already so um 53 years old he was and she was
12 or is 12 um so absolutely horrible story um and it it I didn’t even know we were capable in Gettysburg Pennsylvania of having a breaking news alert like on the newspaper and all that kind of stuff I’ve never seen it and all of a sudden
All these things s popping up on my computer screen what do you mean um like it just busted into whatever you were doing well I was I was online because I was pulling things for um work work yeah yeah and it it just came up breaking news really from Getty
From the Gettysburg Times yeah wow that is uh that is I didn’t know wild yeah so um okay all right so that was the worst that was the worst one all right so we’re going to get a little better but still bad right still bad great um
So there is a gentleman uh in December who was uh where’s that no in December he was back in the month of December he was accused of killing his roommate in Mount Pleasant Township he was right down the road from my house um he was accused of killing he’s one creepy looking
Dude oh yeah let me see let me see it’s a nice mug shot oh God yeah so he was accused of killing his roommate you know he looks like you know he looks like Carl featherton or whatever the guy Wendell what Clarkson wend Clarkson VP at MNT
Bank that’s kind of what I look like I can’t but anyway they are not seeking the death penal the face I make when I go uh you want a loan oh no no uh okay go ahead um they are not seeking the death penalty in his
Case um so that was a big deal they weren’t sure what was going to happen there um a lot of people were calling for the death penalty because of um the painlessness of the crime um and up until this point we had not had a lot of murders and killings and bad things
Happening in Gettysburg but now all of a sudden Shenanigans so now do you think it’s because the whole country is losing its mind so why wouldn’t people here lose their minds as well I think there is you’re the hard-hitting news analyst I think traditionally there is a spurt
Of these kinds of things in the winter months and especially when people are like get me the hell out of my house interesting um I think that is traditional you think homicides I always thought that was suicides but you’re saying I think it’s just people being
[ __ ] pissed off at each other and I get that um but we just don’t usually see it here before you started doing the news for this did you pay a lot of attention to local news yes by default because I used to be in an office with Aaron
Pierce and Aaron is don’t know what that you have to explain that is Aaron is um my cooworker okay and she used we used to be in the same office and our desks faced each other and she is all about like she she was I’m using her uh
Newspaper thing to get into the newspaper right this is her login she’s very much into the news yes and she would read the newspaper the beginning of the day and then tell me all the things that were happening okay she used to work for Destination Gettysburg so
She’s pretty up on it I thought you were going to say she used to worked for Destiny’s Child that was before she worked for Destination G because don’t you think I would have told you before now that I knew somebody that worked for Destiny’s Child she was a roie yeah you never know

Interesting congratulations to those two that is a big deal in the Civil War nerd Community sure sure any yeah that’s great what happened I knew you had no clue what you were saying that too you were thinking about Doc Holiday minute I was I was what Ike whatever do you mean that’s
What I was thinking local one for the each of you any locals or anyone coming into town this weekend be aware that pen do has announced will be pend do announced today that a weekend closure for Northbound and Southbound Route 15 in Adams County is scheduled for the
Weekend beginning Friday April 19th so that a pipe can be replaced just south of the Stein War Avenue exit near Gettysburg did you say it was a lane hell of a thing for you to say to me closure for the Northbound and Southbound Route wow going to be closed
Yeah it looks like business 15 is what we’re talking about what else you got Bethany I want to follow up on the Planning Commission thing for the library I got hairy leg oh Planning Commission for the library I’m sorry be go ahead I’m sorry I blame back
She brought the booze b brought the bell I just love that we stuck to Tombstone lines the whole this has to do so there was a rezoning that was needed for the library to be in there because it was an industrial or institutional Zone one meaning that you can’t have a stand
Standalone library on the on the site um so they need to Res wait wait hold on hold on call all let’s give her a bre a break here now I am interested in this story so go ahead I’m sorry so they were required to rezone so that they could
Have a standalone Library see on that site this is my question what is the point of zoning if you can just rezone when you want to do something that it’s not zoned for well because it has to go in front of a zoning board you got just
Let’s just make it a freefor all you let’s just make it a freefor all so usually I don’t think you’d be happy with that no I wouldn’t but I’m also not happy with you know you could change the rules just because you want to change
The rules but right but well I mean I am because that’s how it’s supposed to work you’re supposed to be able to change rules but I mean with zoning it’s I don’t know but people have a say I think that’s yes you’re right I forgot what
Country I’m in we’re supposed to have a say sorry for a minute I thought I was in Soviet Russia oh don’t they have a saying about uh being down by the river walking on water what the people in the comment section are going to get that that’s a tombstone quote
Too I don’t remember that quote who says that doc holid says it it’s right after W kills uh the head cowboy dude yeah with the shotgun and cly Bell yeah and then someone walks up to Doc Holiday and goes where’s Wyatt he goes I think he’s
Down by the river walking on walk oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so the library yeah so at its meeting on Monday evening the Gettysburg Planning Commission approved the request from the Adams County library system to allow a new library to be built near the YMCA on Fairfield Road um the dormitories that
Are currently there would be torn down the vote was uh 4 to one to recommend the proposed rezoning amendment uh what year were the dorms built in it doesn’t say it was like was it the 1900s or the 1800s I think they’re newer than that I think so too
No then oh 19 maybe it was 1980s I think I feel like it was either the 60s the 70s or the ‘ 80s well that’s a big swath of time there it is about a 30-year swath but I think uh yeah could have been any one of those
Decades what’s your thought on moving the library there well having talked to people from the library what a lot of people are really taking over cuz I can’t um go Beth like the library itself they had a lot of problem and they were cled for a couple weeks
Over the summer because they had awage link and um what do you feel about the location yeah yeah that’s what I want to know I do feel bad for people because it the one thing this article brought up and I had not thought of before was that
It is so close to the middle school and the elementary school that those kids can walk there for their after school programs now I would need to know how many kids actually take advantage of that none yeah I was going to say probably not many right they have their
Phones so I I don’t know I’m more concerned about I’m more concerned about old people that still know what a library is see I think that’s the thing young people they’re not going to libraries older people though they still know what a library is and how to use it
Right but I feel like part of the the draw to a library is like a big older building that’s not a new it’s the yeah not a new library like stinks like old books yeah College libraries and that stuff there is no such thing as the
Stink of old books oh yeah you know Books St wonderful they do I love them in an older building I feel like it’s much better so you know I’m sure it’ll be lovelye do you guys remember the days when you had to like do a book report
And actually had to go to the library to do your research yeah it horrible dude now nowadays kids just go to Wikipedia and cop the work sided off of the bottom of the Wikipedia page yeah well and they um uh they pay somebody to write it for
Them or well sometimes like so Paige they’re not allowed to use Wikipedia so some schools maybe they let them but Wikipedia was off limits that is off limits but if you go to the Wikipedia page it’ll have their sources right and you just use those sources so you just
Rephrase it and use the sources in other words like you take the Wikipedia and you just rewrite it and then use the sources they use and then you win yeah but you don’t in the long run you lose am I like the only person cheers never
Win kids books anymore no you are no we all I I would read books if I had the time I tried to start reading the book last night I fell asleep go ahead uhhuh thanks to a bipartisan push nearly $1.3 million in federal funding has been awarded for the Gettysburg Welcome
Center planned at 340 Baltimore Street nice last month on behalf of the burough of Gettysburg Main Street Gettysburg submitted a congressional appropriation request to both the US House and Senate um it was pushed through by uh Republican representative John Joyce um US senators Bob Casey and John fedman both Democrats that sounds very
Bipartisan I actually I think I looked this up earlier I saw and I went and I got uh yeah I got a clip from fedman here don’t do it CH don’t do it oh no oh no dude so but but he actually was for it I I was just gonna ask if he’s
Recovered from a stroke well so I guess he has no he has he has actually and he is a lot more coherent now so you can actually put together a few words yeah yeah so there is a rendering of it okay now this is going to be exciting because
Uh oh oh now wait a second why why does the rest of the street oh are they going to like do a whole new facelift they’re tearing the building down no no no I’m looking at the sidewalk look at the sidewalk does that look oh that’s part what that’s part of the Baltimore
Street redo right so there will be brick sidewalks and stuff oh that’d be great and they’re going to take away street parking oh my God I swear to God where you going to park in this town I’m just telling you there’s already nowhere to park and as the self
Proclaimed King of Gettysburg let me just say no okay we’re not doing that not all of it but a good but good chunks of it they’re going to have to be able to park oh I hate those it’s so stupid on Stein what is the point of that
Anyway is that is that to slow traffic or I think so I think that’s its original intention really but you don’t need to yeah it does make people angry and frankly you can continue to go straight you don’t have to actually bump out I go straight all the way unless
There’s somebody standing there n who cares you might want to go around so um so the Welcome Center has you know been funded that things are going to really start moving along with that project I’m most excited about it because of the bathrooms yes that’s the best part the
Number of people that come into the Children’s Museum and go is there a restroom please good Lord is there a restroom anywhere near here um it’s ridiculous I mean there’s nowhere for anybody to go and and of course and I don’t think they should but businesses

You’re always busy you can totally come I’m literally right down the road you were working when we you can see rub house from there well that’s different but usually all the fun stuff I do is after hours like sleep anything else Debbie nope that’s it all right um is there anybody even
Still listening no everybody checked out um we’re down to three listeners no we’re not they’re all talking about BBWs they don’t even care they’re still talking about BBWs look at that well next week we have Ross hatrick from oh yes stadia Stevens thank you that’s good
You should do that at the end of every show just tell us what we have next week it opened Ross hetrick listen uh he has uh he is a man that if you if you want to get something done I thought you were going to say the man with the Midas
Touch well he’s he’s got some touch um I don’t know if it’s Midas or what but you you you uh you definitely want to uh pay attention to the story of Ross hetrick because you know a lot of people dream of something and often they share their
Dream with people and their a lone voice in the wilderness let me tell you what it sounds like it’s a little bit something like this Idea Idea Idea wait second idea and nobody listens anybody hear me no I have an idea I think it’s good
Listen God anyone are we sure we want to go out to eat after this but let me tell you uh Ross persevered he had this idea he’s he’s a huge fan of thus Stevens he is and rightfully so because thatat Stevens is an interesting man he doesn’t
Get enough credit he isn’t remembered as much as some other people like Abraham Lincoln okay that guy you know uh and by the way Manhunt on uh Disney plus don’t even get me started I don’t know why you brought it up Colby not man hun what it’s yeah they’re gonna next week we’ll
Talk about it we’ll talk about it next week it’s terrible we do a watch party all right and mock party watch and mock well Matt and I have a a very big watch party we do actually when you want to start doing that oh whatever we’ll do it
When we work out okay so Ross is an interesting guy he he’s really passionate about thty Stevens he’s got a thty Stevens Museum that just opened up he’s responsible for putting the thatat Stevens uh statue in front of the courthouse and for the New Year’s Eve wig snatching the wig snatching and
Um he’s often seen Marching In the Remembrance Day Parade as thaddus Stevens and uh you know I got to admire the guy you know he he has his passion he followed his passion and he has made it into something that will Outlast him and so that is pretty cool we’ve had
Rossan before to talk about that now he’s coming on to talk about the museum so he’ll be on next week and um that’s who else we got coming up now now Pete carmichel by the way um so he was supposed to be on a few weeks ago we
