r them and that kind of thing i think she had only just come out yeah first i liked it now but i didn't like it that much i have to say i i loved it i can see why critics like you know it's a it's one of those movies that again they kind of do you ever watch stuff though do you ever rewatch something in a different emotional space or in a different way i can get a different the whole film is completely different yeah yeah sometimes it goes the both ways it could be that you see this thing that you're like well i don't like it much but i've now got a reason to watch it again because who wrote it who directed or who starred in it and then you're like wow this is really good you know last night i watched mercury rising uh and the last time i watched that was probably seven or eight years ago and just to my already a point on both occasions it was pure crap are you including last all right okay it's terrible it's just a it's just a light popcorny it's just a bit of action isn't it do you know the funny thing is this go on ahead no i'm saying you should have watched the gentleman it's on it's after i've watched that but i've watched that twice now yeah i watched it a time it came out from the cinema yeah and and also recently it was good yeah it was like it's course and it's violent and it's oh yeah absolutely but actually i enjoyed it and i normally don't like it and i would have avoided uh his movies a lot yeah and then the next night yeah this is by pure coincidence that the guy with the beard and the glasses in that you know that sits talk to Hugh Grant through a lot of the film i wasn't familiar with him as an actor at all um and then the next night i watched is it papillion it's it's based in a prison yeah he's in that it's obviously a remake i know the original no it's a remake with the guy that was in the guy that was in i wrote mr robot and all that kind of stuff who i think is incredibly overrated but it's just funny that then i found myself watching the an actor i'd never seen before in two consecutive things yeah it's all right like it's not uh right okay what was his name having a clue okay i mean this night i could sit here i could sit here till never know what i know he had a beard and glasses oh him yeah that's just about as far as i can't even think of the character i must want that could be me back in october with beard and glasses could it be me right what would you do with the 19 million sorry um if you won the lottery uh finula i don't think i'd see you again oh no it's not enough to do no it's not really like i said i come from a really big family so by the time you kind of tell them person what well that's the state number one big family that's an awful lot of goodbyes no i like my family so i come from yeah no i don't 19 million yet soon i remember do you remember when the lotto first hit like 200 and something the european one or whatever and everybody was talking about like what would you do with it and i actually sat down and worked out how i'd have it spent in six months wow really yeah but that's like people that's like people who enter a facebook competition to win a villa in spain uh you know and then start imagining where they'd move the furniture i'd probably move that catch back a bit right i'm not gonna comment you're not gonna come if i won like 19 million i'd be i'd be the opposite of you i'd be like how do i stop my two housemates from finding out i have this money and like i'd be i'd still be like kind of i'd still be like would you turn your back on them it's your turn to get lunch this week you know i wouldn't change the pattern i'd be like no no i got it last friday so maybe totally like the new ad that's out where it's like the village is behind the nobody can see the village they've blocked it off to see that new lotto out for the night the new lotto out you know there was the one where i don't really watch advert some disadvantage here occasionally they show because i don't get a chance to sit and watch no regular telly you skip it i know but yeah they had one where they the guy had won like seven million or whatever and he'd put in a water slide into like the high rise building that he lived in now i say high rise it's probably like six seven stories whatever but it just looked amazing they were coming through the houses and everything and now the new one is what the 19 is like that you whatever it's like two guys talking about how it's 19 on the radio and they said whatever happened to that person in bali that won the 20 million they go oh i don't know how would you ever keep that quiet and suddenly you see this lady and she's walking out of a pub in the middle of nowhere and she knocks on she what looks like a uh uh it's what looks like the mountains and the whole fields but she pushes pulls open a small door and steps into it and they've they've hidden the town behind this wall where there are loads of money i don't think you would i don't think you want to win the lotto uh i don't i think you're very happy i don't i don't think you'd want to win it yeah i not buying a ticket every week probably precludes me ever winning so that being said if i were to buy a ticket every week we're probably have equal chance of winning both of us never okay listen now what would you do with the lotto 08 660 25 000 watts absurd texts did you

all under one roof letter kenny shopping centre bringing you the time at okay very welcome back to the program sorry to interrupt fenula and michael deep in conversation but we do appreciate you taking time to join us we try all right stay where you are because we're going to switch to zoom for a moment because there is a piece of work which is to be performed in on green on theatre in letter kenny from the 26th to the 29th of january and it is called revved it's written and performed by patrick quinn and emily foran is the director we'll start with you patrick good morning to you thank you very much for joining us right tell us about revved what's the story so revved is a story about a young fella from the town called aamon kelly and we meet him on his morning shift working in a petrol station and he's looking back to uh three years previous which was his leaving search year when he went out to the donnie yall rally and we go through his journey of finishing the the leaving start in the morning going through to the pub in the evening and then he goes out touring with his mates around the town around the county crossing over the border into dairy and where he experiences a life changing event so it's great crack and it's really funny yeah and is it tough to perform on a stage with all the action that you've described you have to come up with solutions for that don't you yeah we do it's really interesting trying to create a road trip on stage but that's why i got emily foran here into direct i she's a fantastic director and we've been tackling those that i i challenge i head on and we've come up with some really exciting ideas and ways to get that feeling across to our audiences right so emily uh you know patrick is the writer he is the performer but you are the director you know before you signed up for this did you put down any ground rules you know about who is the final say about how decisions are made because you know it's definitely always me um no i think um i've worked with patrick a couple of times before right briefly and i know patrick such an energetic um generous like fun actor to work with like he's always bouncing about the room full of ideas and he really challenges me as an artist as well so we just have really good crack together and so we've just been able to experiment with like so much in the room and he's just mad he's just a ball of energy so we just always have a really good time when we're in rehearsals so don't you're a salad bonnet yeah i can see tail wagging from here at least i think it's your tail right okay so in terms of the poster actually i love the poster uh for those who haven't seen it this is a print off so it doesn't look as good as it actually does looks fantastic looks like a movie poster that's well done whose idea was that um we collaborate with an incredible photographer called Nathan McGee and the shoot i couldn't go to the shoot but um Nathan and patrick had to go to the middle of nowhere in a field and they got they borrowed someone's car and patrick just went mad on the shoot yeah the car was the car was like an uh um a mark two that's cool and it was a proper old style rally car um it was worth like a load of money like i was barely even allowed to touch the ball yeah go ahead it looks like on the poster you're probably seeing something along the lines of avit you know it looks like avit definitely a lot of you isn't that as well yeah right so we don't want to give anything away right but um is this is this a drama a comedy or how would you describe this uh play so i would describe this as like almost a coming of age action comedy yes it starts off like that and then towards the end it moves into a drama and you realize the the kind of consequences of his actions okay right yeah we're getting into the space we won't talk then about maybe the life-changing event but but we're around about that time the story takes a bit of a turn then is it yeah but halfway through it takes a bit of a turn and then you realize i suppose the the seriousness of the situation get you that we've been yeah how important was it for you emily and you patrick uh for this to feel authentic do you know what it means to say someone who's involved in the scene might go to it and go you know what they've kind of they've got it here this is this is yeah it was it was hugely important so i have um i grew up i just outside letter kenny england sully i've grown up in this culture have always gone to the the rally um during the summers with my dad and everything and we would have uh um so i really wanted to capture that whenever i came back during the first lockdown i wanted to write about home and really tell a real authentic donnie gall story about somebody from who's from here about their experiences yeah i think it's really important for us to like capture an authentic story about here because there's not that many stories written about here especially in the theatre so we just want audiences to come down and see a bit of themselves in this play and just to have a bit of fun because i think we just all need a bit of crack right now it's such a hundred percent but also what's not doesn't happen a lot is writing about uh a scene from within that scene and with knowledge of it rather than someone presuming what goes on what people enjoy what gives the balls or whatever you know what i mean it this that's what sort of talks to my question about authenticity there's not much of this about which uh which makes this very interesting yeah yeah i think um i have connections um in our more islands which is not too far from here as well so even like coming here every summer like i feel really close to like latter county in this whole area so for me well that's when you had an into the city from the island you had to but that i just feel it's so important for people to feel heard and listen to here as well um and just to have a really good night out and just have a laugh i think just we all really need that right now so we just want to offer people that as well yeah and in the theater we've got a two meter social distancing going on so um we have limited capacity seating however it is literally one of the safest places you can go 100 everybody will be wearing their masks the whole time and two meters social distancing and it'll be going on at half six from wednesday until the saturday night 26th the 29th of january and uh yeah half it starts at half six all right uh open to all ages you know what i mean obviously all ages like is it is it yeah there's a baby sitting service either but you know i'd say there's a there's a few curse words and a few slightly edgy jokes and it's so i would say it would be a 15 plus yeah um and do you just want people coming out of this entertained but thinking is it this kind of thing whereby you don't maybe realize that quite an important conversation has been had or an important message has been relayed that it's buried in the fact that you just maybe had a laugh and you enjoyed the experience is that kind of what you're going for yeah it's really important for us for people to enjoy themselves but we also in this play i talk about male mental health and a way of consent as well so it's about having a good time but also continuing that conversation outside of the theater and getting yourself thinking about you know the society around us um but i think in order to do that we need to like have a bit of fun and enjoy ourselves in order to like get these things do not live in two different worlds they coexist it's all intertwined and and there's no point then presenting them in a dramatic way differently because that's not our real lived experience that's not real life is it one of the great things about donnie gall people is we have a phenomenal sense of humour and a real like dry wit and sometimes the the hardest things in life coexist at the same time as like our humour and our comedy so like you know we're always laughing and it's actually through sometimes the the humour that allows us to try and access the kind of the harder parts and realize what's yeah yeah okay and there's other plays like you know some of tommy maron's work uh where he's discussing issues like you know um um dementia and all that kind of stuff he's done through the medium of comedy and it's had some of the the greatest impacts okay so it is revved uh it's written and performed by patrick quinn you're hearing patrick as well as uh it's director emily form uh foreign a beg your pardon it's on in on green on theater letter kenny from the 26th to the 29th of january uh all public health measures will be followed of course and it's an incredibly safe space and you can get onto the box office to book your tickets just i mean is this a is this so uniquely uh donnie gall maybe a couple of other counties go away or something uh that it would only really play well to to audiences up here or or do you think it might travel quite well i actually think that um specificity i creates a more universal field so if you tell the truth about something really specific it can travel the world because people will see that in themselves like if you think of like uh brian frail for example the greatest one of ireland's greatest ever playwrights he wrote about ballet beg a small town in donnie gall and that idea of the small town traveled all across the world brilliant stuff about right here yeah i think patrick's really captured um small town ireland really beautifully and really accurately scarily accurately so um yeah i think anyone who's experienced or lives in a small town anywhere in ireland will get this straight away so all right it's well done the pair of you the best look thank you very much indeed i appreciate it okay take care of yourselves all right obviously uh patrick a student of the game as well too uh being able to make the references that he does that's revved 26th to the 29th of january in on green on theater sounds interesting michael yes it does i know patrick on stage amazing performer he really is like the uh ever ready bunny he's a fantastic he's like that in real life too i bumped into him one of the days during the week very excited about this um he's definitely the guy to pull it off and he's right the more specific you are i always think of on tv one of the best tv shows ever was friday night lights about you know local schools football in texas in america but absolutely universal because the passion of the characters could be passion for rallying could be passion for drama could be passion for anything playing poker didn't matter what it was because being specific can also be universal he's right 100 percent uh hi greg just wondering did any of the panel watch a film called adam and paul it was brilliant it's a dark comedy and i would class it just i want no opinions never heard of it not on my radar at all i wonder who's behind it irish movie i'd say probably because there's a theme of our conversation the irish movie isn't it where one of the one of the two main characters in it and one of them has disabilities i think that's what the adam and paul always and it's about the friendship between the two young people the documentary typhoid mary would have made a fantastic irish film that comes in from caroline hi greg great show if i won the lotto tomorrow night i would share with my family friends poor families the priests and two charities very close to my heart which are the hospice and the oncology day services ward at letter kenny university hospital that sounds like a very decent and nice spread right we're going to get more reviews and opinions on all things entertainment after we

think that's your team what was it like okay thumbs up thumbs up yeah cup tea did you ever stop as well i had i had coffee all right i was getting coffee when i came in the door i was met with nothing i was like this new coffee machine as everyone um you're taking for granted gregg how has the tv2 found the ending of dexter the ending it should have got maybe then others gotta take notice game of thrones that is right now no i was very content with the ending right were you no right okay i'll tell you why without actually giving the ending away very briefly all right of course uh firstly we we have been conditioned to believe that dexter is some sort of a batman anti hero thing he's not really you know he's an incredibly an incredibly unpleasant character okay and has been responsible for an awful lot of even though we've been convinced uh those that got it deserved he's been responsible for his own self-preservation right let's not forget for an awful lot of innocent people around him having and also to the point where he'd almost even sacrifice his son for his own betterment and he was trying to pass on a code and you know there you go that's as much as i could say that ending and there could be there could be another series two they talked about series two of the new one so in terms of treatment like adults right and not just pandering to what we would like okay personally i think they wrapped it up very very nicely touching me and i'm very content with how it ended good for you i my only issue with the issue with the episode was i thought maybe yeah the final 10 15 minutes were strong i thought the first 45 minutes that got us to that 15 minutes was quite contrived there were things happening characters it was like it was very clear no there's a lot had to be done in that firstly they had to show us directly what kind of a person he is which happened in the prison yes and secondly we've spent eight series of him weasling his way out of things yeah and eventually he comes across someone go no that's not a chance so in other words every single door that we've seen him creep out every other time was slammed by the person that the female but it's not even it's not even that incident that i know you're referring to in general all of the characters had to do a few there was a quite a lot of we know what we want the ending to be so now in the last 45 minutes we sure as heck got to get everyone i i thought it was a bit contrived well i don't think the impact would have been had if it had been drip fed throughout the whole thing because we were talking oh it's a return to form it's fantastic they're da da da you know this is the way it used to be the old show runners on you know all that kind of general stuff right that was what kept us going and then we had the last so i i get you could have been maybe presented better but i think i understand what they were trying to do yeah i can see what they were trying to do yeah you know what i'm on about like this all of us thinking right because even last week we're saying well this could go anywhere in any direction yeah of course and there was so many of the ways they could go i still think it was there it was a lot of things happening in that last episode to make it happen and that i didn't like at all i was like you're really jumping through hoops really jumping through hoops to make certain things happen and i would be in the camp and i've said this on the blog a few times even back when the original one ended i think he is a comic book hero and you kind of it's as if the producers come to the end of a season and think we're doing a socially every decision he made destroyed the life of his son oh yeah his son right and you know what i mean everything he did everyone close to him was robbed from his son for his father's actions and only for his own self-preservation well yeah but primarily so to keep doing what he enjoyed doing what he wanted to do but yeah we all kind of look out for ourselves it's just that he's a bit hyper but it's as if the show was like the showrunners are like we're doing a very socially relevant drama and that's how we should end it but they were never doing a socially relevant drama they were always doing a superhero show really he was just a superhero show i just thought it's a little disconnect from what we've been watching since 2005 you know but even that paled for me beside the contrived nature of that last episode okay just that was and i i just think there's also i think you watch things on a deeper level than i might over analyze i under analyze possibly you know what i mean like it's not a right okay that's that uh jfk destiny betrayed is this uh not this is all of a stone this is on your list is that the one you want to talk about next perhaps vanilla no i don't mind i can talk about it it's on room for a couple so i want you to feel you talking about what you really want to talk about look at it's on it's been on for the last couple of weeks some people may have seen it already it's the only thing it came out over the christmas anybody who um is into the kind of the jfk story has probably seen the movie oliver stone movie jfk that was out back in the day back in the 90s because of that movie and the controversy and the kind of uh well the i suppose the social conversation that that movie started it meant that they're at the time oliver stone ended the movie on saying that they couldn't take the movie any further because there was so many documents from jfk's assassination investigation that were being um withheld for security reasons and they were to be withheld i think it's until 2035 and considering that jfk died in the 60s that is a phenomenal length of time for it to go so what they ended up doing after he did the movie was they had put a committee together to look at every single piece of information and all the documents that are put together and to start declassifying some of it that needed to be declassified now again if you've ever watched the original jfk movie you know that oliver stone has a theory yes and yes his theory comes through he is not one to believe that um it was a lone gunman or any of that kind of crack he's big but in the other side of it he is not one to go off on a crazy completely crazy tangent what i find so interesting about this is obviously i've always had an interest in the kennedys anyways i always found that kind of thing interesting a lot of the conspiracies i've seen all those different kind of movies that come out oliver stone takes a very kind of a proper documentary sort of a look at it and he's showing you the documents as they've been released he's talking to people that have researched it he's talking to x fbi guys x cia guys you know his access and his reach to people who were there at the time one or two of the um kennedys nephews nieces that kind of thing um show up one of bobby's kids and that kind of thing is in it and i just find it's just first of all it's fascinating to me to think that um what was it 1962 or whatever so it's like 60 odd years but on the spectrum of sort of uh conspiracy theories does who who uh shot jfk or why uh with no disrespect to him and his family it's a little bit like tiddlywinks now uh given the scale of conspiracy that we we're often discussing in modern times does it really matter at this point to be honest now and i'm not normally like there's so many conspiracies going around now at the moment you know what i'm saying some very grand ones i tend to walk away from a lot of them yeah in i don't know what it is about this story there's just something about this story that just kind of everything really has that just kind of makes you gravitate to it and i think that's and particularly a lot of irish people feel a connection to it because i don't know they sort of associated jfk and you know when he i know for myself when he came to gallway um no obviously i wasn't there at the time but a lot of family members were in air square when he came and he visited and they've all you know so a lot of people seem to feel that they have like a more personal connection to him above anything plus it's it's historical context is really interesting because you know you have like in all this there's a lot of talk about the cia cia cuba the bay of pigs a lot of that kind of historical stuff and how that in their theory gets tied into this you have a lot of stuff then about the mafia and uh you know bobby kennedy and the kennedy's but is all that actually relevant to this or is that all drawn in to sort of make it you know like this set three degrees or seven degrees of separation or whatever it is you know is it possibly not just the case that someone shot him and that's it actually but now what we're doing is is if you look hard enough you can find a connection between any two things and you can you can build it i mean someone can look at the number plate of a of an ambulance and and and calculate that those those that it has a significance to a global conspiracy i think i i i do in my house mate i think no i do agree there is a lot of that going on but there's something about and maybe it's just me maybe i'm just falling for this one particular conspiracy but i think when you look at it you see there's whatever you would have assumed at the time that when uh this when jonathan kennedy was shot that the investigation would have been extensive and would have been just you know so thorough and so deep the fact that there appears to be so much stuff missing now so much stuff not interconnected so much stuff you know um the fact yes but absence of evidence is not evidence of absolutely agree but they have found but now things have been found in these archives there's people that have been that were interviewed whose interviews are missing but now it's so far down the road there that they've now spoken about it there's lots of different things like that in it now i'm not saying see when you get people land on the moon that will say on the record that they saw aliens you know mm-hmm like what where does it end you know these are all individual people capable of saying anything very true it's framed as if they can only be framed as if they can only be telling the absolute truth from the position of complete honesty and vivid memory but they aren't they're just like us just people yeah like those those people that are shown well i know and i ever underestimate incompetence too things do get a lot i mean that's one thing we know about organizations large organizations things get lost and mislead but this exact conversation is precise to why it's so enjoyable yeah i mean i i don't know i like i i'm sorry do you know who shot jfk uh no but after this i'm leaning towards oliver stone's theory okay there's there's a law and i know i know what you're saying you can if you he has started off with an idea i mean in fairness to oliver stone and you have to take an idea as you're watching this you have to take that into consideration yeah but we've seen the two that the uh the the programs as it relates to that awful tragic brutal murder of sophie toskand the plan theory which is a exactly what that was yeah people can go in with a certain attitude with the documentary and you make it look and you know what you can go i know and you all right well i'll tell you when jfk came out donald bellisario the tv producer the guy behind quantum leap he served in the military with lee harvey oswald and he totally disregarded oliver stone's theory he said that's a load of manure because i served with the man and he did it and he acted alone and he did a two hour quantum leap about it for that reason because he hated the movie and said that's rubbish i knew that guy he did it we all worried about him for years and then he went and shot the president yes but if you were going to set someone up you would obviously find a very a very good subject of quantum leap and then last night it's coming back do you ever watch the movie it's an amazing movie and i never understand why it's not out more it's called arlington road and tim robbins is in it and uh i i'll never think of the next name tim robbins is it and basically what it is kimbay's internet uh oh i can't remember basically what it is is how i'm thinking more holland drive this no no no this is what this is is this is be this is a guy who is like a college professor and uh and it's just suddenly finds out how it ends up how you can be manipulated and it unravels until suddenly you're the lone gunman and it's absolutely i recommend it to anybody watch that over the weekend parallax the parallax view stop saying interesting things just as we're about to take a break you could start at five past eleven it's not but warming up you know right he's a band from speaking before he's coming

Greetings, friends. Welcome to CTUCC Conference Cast for March 6, 2015, the regular podcast of the Connecticut Conference of the United Church of Christ. Whoever you are and wherever you may be on life's journey at this very moment, you are welcome here. We begin this week's conference cast with this meditation by Emily Hale, office manager here at United Church Center. In the second chapter of Mark's Gospel, Jesus warns that times are changing and compares them to how foolish it would be to patch an old cloak using new cloth. The two will shrink differently with time, and when the patch pulls away, the tear gets even bigger. Often I will find myself walking into the kitchen with a hungry belly and a desire to cook, and then I'll notice the dishes in the sink. I guess I should wash them. Or I'll open my email to respond to a person and get caught up reading all the new messages, forgetting that older one. And I can't tell you how many times this winter I've shoveled snow around my car and then proceeded to clear the snow from the car itself, dumping it onto the freshly cleared parking space. Seems a little backwards, yes? After all, why would one cut away a new piece of fabric to mend an old coat? Perhaps they've had that coat for years and have learned to love it. They know the softness of the fabric and the intricacies of that third button. Why change it entirely when it just needs mending, right? To completely replace the coat would be much more involved. Going to the store, finding the right fit, spending the money. Why bother? Yet what works for us today is not guaranteed to work for us tomorrow. Taking the right steps to get somewhere new is assuring that we're alive, we're awake, we're paying attention, and most notably, we're moving forward. That coat may need to be hung up before improperly mended. That snow may need to come off of the roof before I shovel. That hymn may need to be revived before the youth will sing along. That new member may need to be welcomed before potluck signups. That community won't come together as one before someone reaches out. It's certainly easier to operate under the familiar, but is what's familiar what's best? While in the moment it can seem like we're taking all the right steps to do something well, it is important to be sure steps are taken in the right order, and most essentially, that we're moving forward. Here is a prayer for this week. Bless us in this time of Lent. We know that it is easy to take shortcuts, yet we recognize that it is not always the best way. We ask that you be with us and guide us through each step that will lend us to better do your work. As we move closer into celebrating the renewal of spring and Easter, let us stop to appreciate what is happening right now. We are one with you, O God, and we are kept warm with the assurance of your love. We know that with you we are alive, we are awake, we are paying attention, and we are moving forward. Amen. Please hold in prayer the family and friends of the Reverend Michael McFarlane, a talented singer, pastor, and overseas missionary. He died on February 22nd at the age of 81. Please remember as well the family and friends of the Reverend Dr. Robert Batchelder, who brought education in ethics to the local church in Middlefield, to the Academy at Hartford Seminary, and to industry as a consultant and ethics officer for Lockheed. He died last December 14th at the age of 88. In the news this week, at Second Congregational Church UCC in Greenwich, a Valentine's Day dinner raised $135,000 to support Heart Care International, an organization which provides advanced cardiac treatment in places where such care is not generally available. HCI was founded by Second Church member Dr. Robert Micler, Surgeon-in-Chief at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. Founded in 1994, HCI has always enjoyed the strong support of Second Church. We have a deep connection to HCI, as has passed to the Reverend Maxwell Grant. Its roots are part of the ongoing life of the church. Visitors to CTUCC.org on Wednesday discovered a brand new look to the Connecticut Conference's primary presence on the Internet. The new design is the result of months of work in the proclamation, identity, and communications team. Today's wider screens can accommodate the broader, looser layout, and the navigational elements have been simplified. There is still more work to do. A mobile version is still to come along with a more usable global site search feature and a new look for Silver Lakes website. So stay tuned. We've passed the $3,000 mark in our leadership studio campaign, and we know there were gifts coming which we haven't even been able to add to the total yet. We've had some questions, though, that we're very pleased to answer here on ConferenceCast. Is the leadership studio a real place, or is it on the Internet? It's a real place, located at United Church Center in Hartford on the ground floor, just off the main lobby. Wait, United Church Center? Where is that? United Church Center is the name of the Connecticut Conference's offices at 125 Sherman Street in Hartford's West End. Our near neighbor is Hartford Seminary. What will happen in the leadership studio? Is it a playground for video geeks? Well, of course it's a playground for video geeks. But video is a tool, and it's a tool that we can use to accomplish ministry. Small groups will be able to engage in live interactive workshops and learning experiences via the Internet here in the leadership studio. Rather than travel, skilled and knowledgeable presenters can teach and inspire via video links and live interactive technology, responding directly to participants who have gathered here. That sounds pretty good, but what if travel is difficult for me? Well, then the studio will be able to stream interactive workshops as well as accommodate real-world participants. So a local presenter may come physically to the leadership studio and engage with you in your home as well as with people around the state or the nation from here. Wow, what else will you do? We'll produce audio and video resources here. In fact, we already do through Vantage Point and Conference Cast. So can local church people use the leadership studio? Absolutely. If you have a project that might benefit, if you need a video stage or an audio recording, an interactive meeting space or a place to stream a workshop, let us know. We'll work together to find the time, the equipment, and the support that you need. Cool. So what really needs to be done? You're already using it, right? We're using it for video production work, yes. We don't have the equipment now for group interactive conferencing and we really do need to fix some holes in the wall. We need to keep outside noise down and we need to make it comfortable for visitors. So we really do need and we really do appreciate your help. You can contribute to the leadership studio campaign via razu at ctucc.org slash studio. And speaking of the studio, we're delighted to have conference archivist John Van Epps visit us here with this edition of Touchstones with History. February was the 350th anniversary of the renaming of New Netherlands as New York. What does this have to do with Connecticut? Much in every way. The first European discoverer of our state was Adrian Block, who explored the entire length of Long Island Sound and after whom Block Island is named. He also went up the Connecticut River, which he named the Fresh River as far inland as what is now Enfield. In accordance with European law, he claimed for Holland all the lands between the latitudes 40 and 45 degrees west of this Fresh River from what is now New Jersey to Canada. For years, there's been debate about whether Windsor, Hartford or Weathersfield was the first European settlement in Connecticut. The answer is the Dutch, who established Fort Good Hope at what is now called Dutch Point in Hartford, also known as Adrian's Landing. Dutch forts and settlements were also made in Brantford and Sabrec Point in accordance with the Charter of the Dutch West India Company for Manhattan, which was settled in 1624. To reinforce the claim, the Dutch governor purchased land from the natives around Dutch Point in early 1633. They even invited the pilgrims from Plymouth to settle in their area. In the meantime, the English had lost course for Virginia and landed further up the coast at Plymouth in 1619. Settlers from the Bay Colony began moving into our area in the 1630s without legal standing. The only valid English claim to the Connecticut River was a Warwick patent granted for the settlement of a plantation in Sabrec in 1635. Its governor, John Winthrop Jr., considered these other English settlers in the Hartford area to be squatters. Then, from 1639 on, other English colonies were settled along the shore from Guilford to Stamford, as well as the eastern part of Long Island, which was considered part of the New Haven Colony. Greenwich and the western half of Long Island were considered to be part of New Netherlands. But the British kept a common. Continued skirmishes continued with the English settlers in Hartford objecting to the trading between the Dutch and the natives. So in 1650, there was a treaty in Hartford with the Dutch governor, Peter Stuyvesant, accepting English claims in this area, but also recognizing the Dutch rights to the fort and lands in Hartford. Three years later, the English seized the fort. Since Connecticut had no legal right to anything, it purchased the Warwick patent from Sabrec, and John Winthrop Jr. became governor of the Connecticut Colony. Then in 1660, King Charles II was restored to the throne. John Winthrop Jr. rushed to England and was able to secure a royal charter for the Connecticut Colony. In 1664, the English seized New Amsterdam, and in 1665, renamed it New York. Meanwhile, the New Haven Colony was out in the cold. Because it had harbored the regicides, there was no chance of its receiving a royal charter. New Haven was to be united with the Connecticut Colony in Hartford. Their other choice was to become part of New York. They chose Hartford. So that's how Connecticut got its shape. On this anniversary of the Dutch losing New Netherlands to the English, this is your conference archivist, John Van Epps.

Our spirited Wednesday thought comes from the Reverend Timothy Hout, pastor of the Deep River Congregational Church UCC. He remembers the night when the sixth grade teacher everyone feared Mrs. Knight glided gracefully across the floor at the school dads. Her face a light with a smile none of them had imagined. He writes, she was Jesus I think. Driven by love she fulfilled a covenant of perfection embodied the commandments that would make us all better perhaps even make the world better. We trembled at such a master honored her but then ah the dancing. And that brings this conference cast to a close. Thanks to Emily Hale for her reflection and to GarageBand for our music. Thanks to Debbie Kirk for providing the voice of the questioners in our little drama today. Primary funding for conference cast comes from your congregation's gifts to our church's wider mission basic support changing lives through the United Church of Christ. This is Eric Anderson the Associate Conference Minister for Proclamation Identity and Communication for the Connecticut Conference of the United Church of Christ. Praying that your days this week may be filled with the presence the guidance and the grace of God. Okay ready to roll.


So you wish there was an easy way to make a flexible drop-down menu. Not a problem. Right click the canvas, UI, and pick drop-down text mesh pro. And the drop menu will appear. If you open it up it seems like a lot, but it's actually real simple. The position scale and background image are just like every other UI tool. And it actually functions just like a button. So the colors were selected and highlighted are all picked here. Really the only thing you need to know is how many options you want to give the player. And what you want them to say. There are two off with three called A, B, and C, but if you click the plus sign and add more like D, E, and F, when you run the game and click the drop-down, the list will automatically expand to accommodate your new options. Now the cool thing is Unity does all the grunt work for you. So if you add a shitload of options and then play the game, you will see that Unity has automatically added a scroll bar so that you can navigate through your big list. And the size of the navigation can be adjusted by changing the size of the template. So if you click here, shrink it, and play the game, it will adjust the scroll bar to accommodate that new signs. So how do you code it? Well for starters, you put in the traditional use in UnityEngine.ui, and let's just say that we wanted this drop-down to allow the player to change the background color of the panel image. So let's make an image variable and drag it in. And out here let's just change the name of the options to red, green, and blue. Now each of these options actually has a number ID, and it starts at zero. So the real name of these options is zero, one, and two. So to program that in, just make a public void and I'm just going to call it color selector. And in here we're just going to add the logic for if index equals zero, change panel color to red, else if index equals one, change the color to green, else if index equals two, change the color to blue. And if we save and go to our drop-down, you'll see the trigger slots here, so let's just add one, drag the object with the script inside, and set the trigger to the method that controls the color. You're done. If you save and run the game now, you will see that each time we pick a different option, the background image color changes. Hope that helps. And as always, hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around.


So costs exceeding $2,700,000. So now you've got a lot that was, you know, we're not talking about the dollar limit, but you put a fairly hefty amount in costs of the machinery. So if the cost of your qualifying section 179 property placed in service in a year is more than $2,700,000, you must generally reduce the dollar limit, but not below zero by the amount of cost over the $2,700,000. Tax software is helpful with this, but you can see the general concept here is, which would basically be, you wanna buy the machinery if you can so that you get the 179 deduction, but you don't wanna go crazy about it.  So if the cost of your section 179 property placed in service during 2022 is 3,780,000 or more, you cannot take a section 179 deduction. Ouch! Example, in 2022, Jan Ash placed in service machinery Machinery, no. Costing 2,750,000. This cost is 50,000 more than the 2,700,000. So Jane must reduce the dollar limit, which is 1,080,000 by the 50,000 over that limit. That means that the total that she gets for the 179 has been reduced to 1,030,000. So sport utility and certain other vehicles, here we go with the vehicle thing. The Iris is always skeptical about those vehicles because people like to buy expensive stuff in terms of their vehicle, you know? So you cannot elect to expense more than 27,000 of the cost of any heavy sport utility vehicle and SUV and certain other vehicles placed in service in tax years beginning in 2022. This rule applies to any four wheeled vehicle primarily designed or used to carry passengers over public streets, roads or highways that is related, that is rated at more than 6,000 pounds gross vehicle weight and not more than 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. However, the 27,000 dollar limit does not apply to any vehicle designed to seat more than nine passengers behind the driver seat equipped with a cargo area. So either open or enclosed by cap of at least six feet in interior length that is not readily accessible from the passenger compartment or that has an integral enclosure fully enclosed the driver compartment and load carry device does not have seating reward of the driver seat and has no body section protruding more than 30 inches ahead of the leading edge of the windshield. Now all of this stuff with the cars gets kind of messy because you can imagine what's basically happening here. They're saying, if you have a car that's for personal use then you would think they wanna limit it because you might buy a really fancy car that is over and above what you need. Then they have this law, well if the car is over 6,000 pounds then you would think that that would be more like a work utility vehicle or something like that. But then what happened is the SUVs for personal use got fancy over 6,000 pounds because there was tax benefit related to those. So now the question is well now it's gotta be over 6,000 pounds but you have all these other kind of restrictions that you can think the code puts into place to make sure that it's not actually personal use very fancy over 6,000 pound car that you're getting a personal benefit from but it's actually like a work vehicle which was the original thought of the weight limit in the first place.


Forensic engineering has been defined as the investigation of failures, ranging from serviceability to catastrophic, which may lead to legal activity, including both civil and criminal. It therefore includes the investigation of materials, products, structures or components that fail or do not operate or function as intended, causing personal injury, damage to property or economic loss. The consequences of failure may give rise to action under either criminal or civil law including but not limited to health and safety legislation, the laws of contract and slash or product liability and the laws of toward. The field also deals with retracing processes and procedures leading to accidents in operation of vehicles or machinery. Generally, the purpose of a forensic engineering investigation is to locate cause or causes of failure with a view to improve performance or life of a component, or to assist the court in determining the facts of an accident. It can also involve investigation of intellectual property claims, especially patents. Vital to the field of forensic engineering is the process of investigating and collecting data related to the materials, products, structures or components that failed. This involves inspections, collecting evidence, measurements, developing models, obtaining exemplar products, and performing experiments. Often testing and measurements are conducted in an independent testing laboratory or other reputable unbiased laboratory.


the signal oil program yes the signal oil program the Whistler is your signal for the signal oil program the Whistler and I know many things for I walk by night I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows yes I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak yes friends it's time for the signal oil program the Whistler rated tops and

signal is the famous go farther gasoline so look for the signal circle sign in yellow and black that identifies independently operated signal stations from Canada to Mexico and now the Whistler strange story beyond the war there are some words that hit a man like an electric shock and Marty Fisher had just heard them he was standing at the head of the line of prisoners as he always did on visitors day but this time he didn't smile at the guard pick up his card and move casually on toward the wire wickets at the far end of the room this time he stood paralyzed rooted before the battered oak desk staring at the man who sat behind it what's the matter Marty didn't you understand me I said your wife didn't show up today but she told me she'd be sorry next look check the wedding room with a maybe the rest is wrong maybe she didn't get a name she isn't here now look there's still a half hour of free time go on back out to the yard but she's never missed a visitor staying five years I got news for you there's always a first time for everything a life alike you ought to be able to figure that out next yes you can figure it out can't you Marty you've seen it happen before the hundreds of others here at the state prison and now you wonder if it's happened to you for months even years a woman will show up at the visitors cage every Wednesday wearing a smile and murmuring soft words then one Wednesday she doesn't come and after that if there is another time there are excuses the words are a little less soft to smile a little more forced yes Marty you've seen it happen before now you turn half stumble out of the room and walk slowly down the gravel path to a bench in the sun well well Marty old man didn't expect you out so soon sit down yeah she didn't show up and well she's an attractive woman it's bound to happen shut up I'm told they're an amazing number of desirable men who are not in prison I said shut up cause your wife might have come down with a headache I had an appointment with a dentist or been busy with a church supper we only turn or break your head but don't get excited Marty you know what happens to those of us who get excited all right and leave me alone of course I know how you feel Marty but don't worry you'll get over it why a no time at all you'll forget you ever had a wife okay okay so forget I'm sure you will however it won't be so easy to forget the money will it what money no no Marty what money let me see now I recall that payroll job of yours plant guard was killed seventy five thousand dollars was missing the money was never recovered I don't know what you're talking about tell me Marty does your wife know where the money is look Baron I told you a million times I don't know anything about seventy five thousand bucks now forget it very well my boy however I've been thinking I am I might be in a position to do you some good one of these days sure from the outside that is what are you gonna do nor your way to the war well at least there's some reason to believe that I'll be out of here before long you've heard of pearls haven't you you're getting a pro I think so and the connection that's fixing mine could probably get you one there's the oddbell beauty calls I don't want to be late they're so fussy at the machine shop you know but we'll talk about it again Marty yeah oh and about your wife Marty don't worry she really might have had an appointment with the dentist well as you walk back to the prison library you try to convince yourself that you've been all wrong about Helen but there must have been a good reason to prevent her from coming today you tell yourself that she'll be here the next time yes you're sure she will be aren't you Marty the day is dragged by agonizing days filled with suspense and then finally next Wednesday you're sitting in the visitors room looking at Helen on the other side of the screen hello Marty hello baby I'm I'm sorry about last week yeah I just couldn't get here Marty I was feeling terrible the old headaches again and worse than ever yeah you're not mad are you should I be I wanted to come Marty honest I said it's okay Marty yeah Nick Helman came to see me last night sucker I was a little hand-white case it could have turned out worse Marty have he had any brains he could have figured an alibi for me get me in a quiddle what he was he said he might be able to help you yeah yeah he said he had connections and he might be able to get you out only sure only it costs dough and I don't have any baby said I didn't have any dough I alright Marty you don't believe me anymore do you think I did pull that job Marty please I think I got that 75 grants all that away so Marty listen to me I love you I love you and I want to be with you but I want you out of here listen I would all right Marty all right I was only telling you what Helman didn't finish baby what you're supposed to ask me where the dough is you tell him and everything is keen huh I'm out just like that huh kidding me I know Helman look you tell him to forget about it all right and Helen yes I think you better forget about it too you're determined no one is going to get any part of that 75,000 aren't you Marty and in the weeks that follow there's no further mention of the money or of Helman your wife doesn't miss a single visit and you begin to realize how foolish it was of you to suspect that something was wrong that Helen had found someone else then one Sunday morning at the prison chapel it's the Baron sitting next to you who has something to whisper into your ear came through that's fine I tell me about it I can do you some good when I get out my boy yeah sure sure the way things are going you'll need someone to look out for your interest what you mean by that some friends of mine on the outside Marty they've been checking things for me like what you ever hear of a man called Johnny Rigo no your wife has what did you say my contacts tell me she's been running around with keep your head down Marty the guards well what do you have to me burn Rigo a pretty pal of the wealthy old gag Baron you're wasting your time as you wish my boy but if your wife gets her hands on that 75 grand but you can kiss her goodbye she's gone with friend Rigo and I'm supposed to tell you where the door is and so you can protect it for me the general idea Marty forget it I'm getting out in three weeks I get over you can sit here do nothing give your wife a chance to get her hands on the dough or you can tell me where it is I said forget it you don't have much chance my boy no choice you can trust me or your wife and stay here the rest of your life with the prologue of beyond the wall the signal oil company brings you another strange story by the whistler which of these parts could your car get along best without engine transmission differential or front wheel bearings well the answer obviously is that it couldn't even run without a single one of these vital parts that's why the mailing card which signal dealers are sending out this month showing a bluebird feeding a nest full of hungry mouths as the caption don't neglect a single one and right now with increased spring and summer driving just ahead is the time to put these vital parts of your car on a lube diet that will keep them singing for your engine that means draining out winter weary oil and refilling with signal premium compounded motor oil this improved type signal oil does so much more than just lubricate because it combines 100% pure paraffin base with scientific new compounds then have your signal dealer drain the transmission and differential and refill with proper summer weight gear lube and at the same time ask your signal dealer to clean and repack your front wheel bearings when you've had this work done by an experienced signal dealer you can sail confidently into a summer of carefree driving knowing that these vital parts on your car will stay young because you haven't neglected a single one you're not greatly concerned about the money from the payroll robbery are you marty you're certain no one will ever find it but you are worried about your wife helling and you wonder if the baron was telling the truth about her and johnny regal before you plan your next move you decide to check your story several days later you're working in the prison library when one of the trustees comes in returning an armful of books from the hospital yeah the books pal oh uh help me check them all sure hey by the way one of the guys

building check it i want to get this settled first what do you say baron do i take you place in the truck yes marty i suppose you do that's all marty all you need the baron's cooperation and that one round trip into town by the end of the week you're ready the steady rain makes a heavy oil slicker excusable a rain hat that can be pulled low over the eyes in the machine shop the baron starts the truck runs it out into the yard has it inspected and then drives off no one pays any attention as he swings around past a loading platform momentarily out of sight of the inspecting guard makes the switch with you the truck doesn't even slow down only now you're at the wheel marty thankful for the rain that helps your plan work a plan that will take care of your wife's boyfriend regal and helps you drive out the service gate with no one knowing an hour later you drive the truck into the railroad station back it up to the loading platform and climb down oh no i don't feel so good go over get some coffee ah you guys all the same the railroad station you break into a half run regal lives several blocks away and you don't want to be gone too long approaching the place you slow down moving carefully when you reach 2240 marvel boulevard the house is dark that's something you hadn't counted on marty regal isn't home the place is empty you stand there wondering what to do realizing that precious minutes are running out and then a car swings into the drive you press back against the house hidden by the shrubbery it's regal all right and he's driving into the garage perfect isn't it marty almost too good to be true you run forward silently and reach him before he shuts off the motor we'll get out regal sit tight that's right we haven't met you don't know much about me it's okay regal i'm not sensitive if you're not now look i get up open it no don't turn the motor off we're in the garage the fumes will i know what the fumes will do listen i i don't know what you're talking about you don't have to know too much regal just that some guys don't like their plans in a fadeway plan can i can't it i'm talking now i'm not in a show you're out of your mind let me out of here

you the name is fischer marty fischer fischer marty fischer yeah oh you know it's all over quickly isn't it marty you leave the unconscious regal in the car with a motor running you close the garage doors and hurry back to the railroad station an hour and a half later you're approaching the prison gates everything is gone according to plan has to be there hasn't been the slightest slip up baron and you swing the truck around the loading platform where you agreed to meet the baron only he isn't there the baron isn't there you slip the heavy raincoat off and the hat toss them on the seat and step out of the truck you're about to walk away when he comes towards you baron where you skip it let me in there no wait give me the loading cables loading purpose you have them don't you yeah yeah get in your truck baron i'm waiting for you back there and unload you know we're all right here don't you hide my half of the money the money i don't like the way you said that marty you don't have no yeah you're not getting any ideas about changing your mind now that you're all said to me i never changed my mind go on it's been made up from the beginning you know something baron like i always said there isn't any 75 grand why you say baron you don't want to fight with me you got too much to lose that parole that's coming up that's the way you had it figured huh bait me with that money then use me and i can't talk i wouldn't i don't think you uh maybe marty maybe and maybe not forgive the odds baron i have you're clearing two and a half weeks if you keep quiet you shoot your mouth off and bring no parole and no money yeah it's a simple sucker you don't talk there's only one good thing about this place marty you're here and for life i'm glad it makes you happy jump only for a reason that you'll never know right now i'm glad i'm here the whistler will return in just a moment with a strange ending to tonight's story if you're like most drivers barmy spring days such as we have at this time of year make you want to head your car for the open highway and go somewhere and going places just naturally makes you more concerned about gasoline mileage the thing signal gasoline is famous for mileage in fact has been one of the principal reasons for signals amazing growth in popularity starting with a mere handful of stations in southern california signals popularity has grown and grown until today signal stations serve six western states from canada to mexico and wherever signal is sold it is known as the go farther gasoline but mileage mind you is just one of the benefits you enjoy when you switch to signal after all to give you such good mileage today's signal gasoline has to help your motor run more efficiently and when your motor runs more efficiently you also enjoy more flashing pickup more responsive power the things which make driving more fun that's why whether you want performance or mileage you want signal the famous go farther gasoline yes marty had all worked out didn't and the man who helped you the baron is the last man in the world who would dare to reveal him he doesn't even worry you in the remaining two and a half weeks before his parole and you're there smiling with the others to shake his hand as he heads for the tailor shop to exchange his denims for a blue shirt suit he'll be wearing it for a while won't it because the baron is not a rich man and your money the 75,000 from the payroll robbery will be waiting for you when you're on the outside but that's the future isn't it marty you have the present to think of helens paying you a visit and you want to see how she acts how she feels now that her boyfriend rigo is out of the way you're amused pleased with yourself as you face her through the wire mesh screen of the visitor's room marty what is it you look like you've been crying yes marty oh marty something terrible has happened hasn't marty i asked you for the money again and again i never told you the real reason doesn't matter there isn't any money you see marty i guess i'll never stop loving you no matter what you've done only well now there's nothing more i can do what are you talking about there was a man marty a prominent man and he was convinced you're innocent and he was in a position to do things don't think yes he'd been talking to the parole board for months and with a little more time to work on it he was sure you'd be free soon i know marty i know i've been working with him constantly wait a minute you you mean this man would fix it so i get out of here yes marty you'd have been free but now i don't know where to turn because because johnny rigo johnny rigo yes johnny rigo can't do anything for us anymore something happened to him in his car he died in his garage from carbon monoxide fume let that whistle be your signal for the signal oil program the whistler each sunday night at this same time brought to you by the signal oil company marketers of signal gasoline and motor oil and fine quality automotive accessories signal has asked me to remind you to get the most driving pleasure drive at sensible speeds be courteous and obey traffic regulations it may save a life possibly your own featured in tonight's story were tony barrett wilmsherbert and evelyn scott the whistler was produced by george w allen directed by gordon t hughes based on a story by jackson gillis and robert eisenbach with music by wilbur hatch and was transmitted to our troops overseas by the armed forces radio service the whistler is entirely fictional and all characters portrayed on the whistler are also fictional any similarity of names or resemblance two persons living or dead is purely coincidental remember at this same time next sunday another strange tale by the whistler marvin miller

For more than 40 years, the Federal Historic Tax Credit has helped save our nation's most important historic buildings. It has been more than a generation since the credit has been enhanced. Meanwhile, labor and material costs have skyrocketed and economically distressed areas need even more revitalization. The time has come to update this incentive to drive more private investment into main streets and spur community renewal. Cities ask Congress to pass legislation that will allow more historic buildings to be saved, letting a community use its most treasured historic resources to rebuild for the future, promote small business development and revitalize disinvested communities.


Hello, my friends, and welcome to episode two of my Rag Brie series. Today, we're leaving the main route to get dirty on 57 miles of beautiful Iowa gravel. If you like what you see, please subscribe and comment and tell all your weird biker friends to watch my channel. Okay, let's do this. Good morning. It is always very hard to sleep in at Rag Brie if you're camping near lots of other people because people get up early. I slept really well and we're ready to rock and roll. It's gravel day. Anybody need a shamer? So what do you have here, my friend? So I was going through my bags this morning and I found all these letters that my family made me and you got to look at this one, Ryan. Look at that. What does she say on it? She says she's proud of me. This is the day before, told me to have fun.   And she says, if you see Ryan, tell him hello from me. So Adriana, I saw Ryan and I said that you said hello, baby. Thank you, soft grass next to the lake, awesome place to sleep. Good morning. You know it. Just don't touch him. I wouldn't touch him if I were you. Yeah, he looks dangerous. All right. Team Doosers say goodbye to the big ride. We're hitting gravel. We're going on dirt. Who's coming with us? It's time to hit the dirt. Good to see you. Good to see all of you. Good morning, Jack. How are you doing, bud? Morning. How was day one? Good. Cheers. Lovely. You look good in pink. My name's Kell. I'm from Guam. Guam? You came all the way from Guam. Ryan. No, for gravel. For gravel. You came for the pie, man. Okay. You came for the pie. Yeah, man. It's so good to see you, brother. It's good to see you. We're going to have so much fun out there. Yeah, dude. Okay, Alan. We need to say something very important. Here we go. No crashes. No flaties. No whimmies. There we go. This is really a dream come true. We have people from all over the United States and Guam. We have little kids, families, big kids. It really is special. And we're out here in the cornfields of Iowa riding rag brie with all my new friends. Good morning, Jayden. How long has he been singing that song? He's been singing it ever since he's been watching your video. So any tunnel, we have to sing it. We love it. You know, some of these Midwestern states get a bad rap for just being boring and flat and not a whole lot of natural beauty, but I love riding out here on these country roads. They're wide open. You can see for miles, there's really something unique and special to it. What did you just say? This is my first time riding. How did it feel? Good. It was good. Yeah. Yeah. I had a good time. What do you think about rag brie so far? I'm having an awesome time. Yeah. So this is kind of hilarious. Do you realize how much dust you're getting all over your legs here?  You're just getting all of his dust. I love it. Look at Danny. Yeah. It's time for my first Casey's stop of rag brie. This is what it looks like outside. Everybody's out here having fun, drinking, having a good time. I'm going to show you what it looks like inside the store. Oh yeah. We've got a few people in here. Ryan Goody's at Casey's. All right. We've got the pizza. Look at that breakfast pizza. It looks good. Nice. Nice. Good. Good. Keep it coming. Oh, thank you. You're welcome, Ryan. I got pizza. I got breakfast pizza. Jayden, look at all those snacks you got at the store. Did you paper that? You just run out of there. What's in the Casey's breakfast pizza, you ask? This is cheese. It looks like scrambled eggs and green peppers. Pretty darn good. Best gas station pizza in America. And the best place to eat it is just right in the parking lot. Cheers, everybody. This is super cute. Jayden is leading us in stretches. All right, Jayden, what do we do? Put the arms out? Arms out, everybody. There we go. So what's the name of your team here? What's up chicken butt? And this is your whole family? Yeah, we got Debbie, my wife, Madison. My oldest. And Caitlin.  Oh, right on. I love your helmets, too. All right. Look at those fun helmets. Vamos, Wilson. Vamo, vamo, vamo. Si se puede. Si se puede. I'm glad you did, too. So how do you get into cycling and all this weirdness? I got into cycling back when I was about eight, nine years old. And my dad said, hey, the family's now a cycling family. We're going to ride. And I said, I don't want to. And he said, that's great. You cannot want to when you're out on the bicycle riding it. And kind of went from there. But grew there, took a break in the military service. And I made my lovely wife. There she is. Hi. And so we were in, when the pandemic hit, we needed something to do. And so we started spin biking in the living room. And so over the years now it's developed up into us riding. We started riding with the Wounded Warrior Project and riding with our fellow injured veterans. And then, um, yeah, now we're, now we're out here riding with Ryan Van Doos or Dream Come True. So yeah. You having fun or what? This is beyond fun, man. You're not here. You're sucking. Go, Tasha. Go, Tasha. That's your wife. That's your wife. Bestie wife in the world. There she goes. My wife and I, we've got three kids. And I love my little girls, JL, Rock, Helen, Gideon. And, uh, all of them were riding by like four years old. And we've just become like one of those cycling families. My daughters know that I really like doing it and we like riding as a family. And, uh, we picked up on your channel. And I think it was the Tour de Vide was the first one. And I was like, girls, do you want to do that? And they're like, we want to do that. So the goal is, uh, to do that as a family. Uh, before the youngest one, our, our, our, sorry, our oldest one, JL, goes off to college. So we're trying to, we're trying to kind of scout it out. Tasha and I, this is our first time doing something like this. This is the most miles I've ever ridden in one shot. I think, uh, I shattered my shoulder recently, uh, and got like the, the green thumb from my surgeon, like the day before I came out here. And she hasn't ridden more than 15 miles ever. And she knocked out, it was at 76 miles yesterday. And we're at 20 some, almost 30 miles for today.  But honestly, like it's not hard. It's just putting yourself a little uncomfortable getting out here, being with team dozer is awesome. Everyone's super supportive. And we're all just keeping an eye on each other. And we're just, we're just rolling along. Even turtles finish. It's the greatest thing. I love that brother. You're going to do it. You're going to do it. We're stoked about this. And hopefully our girls will be coming with us next year. Looking good. Looking good. Let's bring them in everybody. Come on, all the way through. Yeah. Nice. Nice. Nice. I knew you'd find us. It's not difficult.  How's that been? It's been a trial. Uh, the Hills, whoever says I was flat is lying to you. It's not mountains, but these Hills, they'll get you. They'll get you. So I've gone granny gear and I've gone great granny gear. And it takes me a long time to get there, but I get there.  You saw tired. Doing great, Tasha. Doing great, Mary. Let's do this. Let's do this. And I forgot to mention, you're not on my team. This is our team. You are all dozers. Okay. You're all dozers. Oh. I must say, lakes in Iowa are not cold. They are like easy to get into. What's up, daddy? Enjoying this break. Look how clean my shirt is. Perfect. It's just been amazing. It's been all the people. I mean, the ride is almost secondary compared to all the people we're meeting along the way and all the love and support. We were fully bagging it yesterday. We're, you know, 100 pound bikes and people are coming up behind us on the hill. You got it. You got it.  And so we start cheering other people on, you know, you kind of almost have to. It's just been super welcoming and super warm. Everyone's been so friendly the whole time. All right, team dozer. Are we all chilled out? Yeah. Okay. Let's go warm back up then. Look at that cool barn. That's a beautiful barn. You look real sexy. This is really fun. I have never ridden rag brie as a team. And this morning when we started out, I thought for sure we'd all get scattered and everybody would kind of do their own thing.  The gravel today has been very gravelly.  Pretty slow moving. I'm glad I have wider tires to deal with this. But you know what? Going slow can sometimes be frustrating. But on the other hand, it's kind of nice to go slow. Gives you more time to look around and enjoy the beauty. Are we feeling dozers? We are about to hit our first legitimate hill. Maybe the biggest hill I've ever seen in Iowa. Yeah, you look awesome. You look awesome. You got this, Allen. Good job, good job. Way to go, way to go. What's up, riding for two? You got little legs. You got this buddy.  Run it up. Way to go, way to go. Nice job, Wilson. Nice job. Bien hecho, amigo. Si se puede, si se puede. I didn't think I was going to make it, but I did. Yeah, you did. I've met most of these people in the last couple days, and I already love them all. I love you. We saw this really cool old farmhouse off the side of the road, and we're going to go check it out. Come on, Scooby-dozers. Let's go check, let's go check out the haunted house. Yo, there's a door right here. Door right here. There are nails sticking up. Wow, look at this.  It's interesting to think that there was probably kids conceived and kids born in this house, and there's some farmer that after he was done building, it was like, I've made it. I've made my house, I've got my farm, and now it sits here dilapidated, just falling apart. All right, good work, everybody. We did that without getting any splinters or nails in our feet. I have no idea where all the other gravel riders are. It's just us out here. I think it's probably because we're taking our time and most people are in front of us. But that's how we like to do it. We like to chill. Team Doosers in the back of the pack, but we all know those who have the most fun win, right? Yeah, gravel day ending on grass. Here we go. This looks nice and flat and soft to me. You did it, you're awesome. You did it. Way to go, way to go. Yeah, brother. We did it, we did it. Yeah. It always feels good to finish a long day on a bike. No matter what, no matter what. Yeah. Are you okay, Danny? I will be. I'm agnossious and starting to cramp. I'll be good though. Be good. We love you, Danny. Love you all. So first of all, thank you so much for watching this video. And second, do you want to join Team Doosers at next year's Rag Brie 2024? I promise. Lots of Olays and good times and high fives. And as you can see, we are very inclusive of all ages and all abilities. We're all about fun.  Kind of like Revenge of the Nerd style on bikes.  And then from there, we will be giving you some more information here in the upcoming weeks and months about how we're all going to stick together this year and all camp together as one family with some sort of a charter organization. So go sign up. We'll see you next summer.  And also, don't forget, it's time to get off your couch, get out there, and start training.


She's making a call. A member of your team is under attack. Here, here. Great. We'll pay for that. Nice shot. There's a guy. I've got a guy coming in from the top of the hill. Get it in there. It's probably going to be weapons-free. Yeah, for sure. And then once we fire one round, everybody's talking about an increased amount. Yep. On the stairs, guys coming down. Yep. A member of your team is under attack. Here he comes. Here he comes. How does that get back? He's down. Drive him again. Sorry, hang on. Oh. Hide us. Good looking there.
