SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A PRIEST? I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THOUGH, WITH THE PRIEST, I MEAN THE POPE OVER HERE AND SO FORTH, AND THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BE LOOKING TOWARD THE MILLENNIUM AND THAT TYPE OF THING.
AND ALSO, UH, HIS WISDOM ON SUNDAY.

AND I JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT IF YOU ASK HIM, HE'S A VERY HUMBLE MAN, HE'LL JUST TELL YOU PROBABLY THAT HE'S A CARPENTER'S HELPER, BUT THEN ON SUNDAY, HE'LL TELL YOU ABOUT THE CARPENTER.
SO A PRETTY GOOD STORY, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR INSPIRING US.
NEXT THING WE HAVE IS, UH, BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PUBLIC SERVANT AND THAT'S ANOTHER FOR A POLICE OFFICER AND WE CAN'T DO WITHOUT IT.
LET ME SAY, I WOULD NOT SWEAR AT YOU AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE CHIEF UH, I'LL BE ALERT, BE ALERT TO VISIT THIS SITE, ENFORCE THE CRIMINAL LAW AND LAWS IN THE UNITED STATES AND OF ALL THE UNITED STATES IN NORTH CAROLINA, THE DUTIES AND MILES THAT A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OR
[00:05:14]
ALSO, YOU HAVE ANY FAMILY HERE GET, LOOK OUT LIKE Y'ALL PLEASE STAND BIRTHDAYS TODAY.NOW THE CANDIDATE, MY GIRLFRIEND, MY MOTHER, SISTER, MY AUNT AND HER DAUGHTER.
SO A REPORT AND HEY, THEY SEE ME ON YOUTUBE.
THE, UH, WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT TREATED A TOTAL OF 99.5 MILLION GALLONS IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER.
UH, THE MAXIMUM DAY WAS 4.6 MILLION GALLONS A DAY.
THE AVERAGE TREATED PER DAY WAS 3.2 MILLION GALLONS.
THE VOD EFFICIENCY REMOVAL WAS 93% AND THE SUSPENDED SOLIDS REMOVAL EFFICIENCY WAS 91%.
IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, WE DID FAIL A TOXICITY.
THIS IS OUR THIRD YEAR IN A ROW IN DECEMBER FAIL AND TOXICITY.
WE HAVE ALREADY, UH, RETESTED FOR TOXICITY AS REQUIRED BY THE STATE LAWS AND HAVE PASSED.
SO THERE'S NO NOTICE OF VIOLATION.
THERE IS JUST BEGINNING TO BE A REGULAR OCCURRENCE AT THE PLANET.
IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, WE TESTED SEVERAL PARAMETERS TO TRY TO DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE FAILED TOXICITY.
AND THIS DECEMBER WAS THE BEST DECEMBER OR BEST MONTH THAT WE'VE DONE TOXICITY AND THE RESULTS WERE THE LOWEST.
AND WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHY WE FAILED THE TOXICITY.
IS THAT THE STEEL DETERMINED BY THOSE LITTLE MEMOS THAT THEY DO? YES, SIR.
THAT'S WHAT WE HAD BACK UP ABOUT, ABOUT THAT TALL AND ABOUT THAT BIG AROUND, AND THEY STICK 10 LITTLE MINUTES AND ALL YOU CAN SEE IS THEIR EYEBALLS AND WHETHER THEY LIVE OR DIES DETERMINED BY THE WASTEWATER TOXICITY AND THEY USE DROPS OF WATER IN THAT, IN THAT LITTLE CUP, UM, PROBLEMS. RIGHT? NO PROBLEM.
UH, ALSO WE'D LIKE TO UPDATE THE BOARD ON A RECENT MEETING THAT WAS HELD IN, UH, RALEIGH LAST THURSDAY, UH, CONCERNING THE MARTIN MARIETTA PROJECT.
UH, WE HAVE AT THIS POINT IN TIME PERFORMED SEVERAL DIFFERENT ANALYSIS OF THE STATE HAVE, HAVE REQUESTED.
UM, WE HAVE DONE THE, UH, TRANSMISSIVITY TESTING.
WE HAVE, UH, DETERMINE WHAT A COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY IS GOING TO BE FOR OUR PROJECT.
WE'VE GONE THROUGH A GAMUT OF INFORMATION.
THEY HAVE NOW ASKED FOR US TO DO AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT, UH, WHICH WE BASICALLY HAVE ALREADY PERFORMED.
AND WE JUST HAVE TO PUT IT IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT THAN WAS SUBMITTED, UH, IN A FACILITIES PLAN TO THE, TO THE STATE.
AND, UM, THAT THEY AT THAT MEETING HAVE AGREED THAT THEY WILL WRITE SOME SORT OF LETTER TO US THAT, UH, SAYS THAT THE PROJECT IS A VIABLE PROJECT THAT, UH, THEY FAVOR HAVING THE PROJECT GO FORTH.
UH, BUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THEY CAN'T ISSUE A PERMIT.
WE'VE GOT TO ACTUALLY HAVE THE PROPERTY AND SOME OTHER THINGS HAVE TO TAKE PLACE, BUT, UH, IT WAS VERY ENCOURAGED WITH THE MEETING THAT WE HAD LAST WEEK.
AND, UH, I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
NEXT THING WE HAVE IS A SWIMMING POOL OF BOARD AND DIRECTOR OF THE RECREATION PARK.
I'M PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON PART OF GRANT, WHICH IS DOING NEXT WEEK.
WE ARE AGAIN ASKING FOR, TO THE FULL AMOUNT, $250,000.
I AM THIS YEAR PUTTING IN THE GRANT A HALF MILE WALKING TRAIL ALONG THE POOL BECAUSE THE MORE RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES IN A GRANT, THE BETTER YOUR CHANCES OFF AND LAST YEAR, NO SWIMMING POOLS WERE FUNDED BECAUSE IT WAS JUST CONSIDERED ONE
[00:10:01]
RECREATION OPPORTUNITY.AND WE SHOULD HEAR SOMETHING JUNE OR JULY ON THIS.
BUT MY RECREATION CONSULTANT TELLS ME THAT FREQUENTLY, IF YOU REAPPLY, YOUR GRANT IS FUNDED.
SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO TRY AGAIN.
I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE PEOPLE THAT DID THE ESTIMATES FOR THE SWIMMING POOL, AND THEY HAVE ADVISED ME TO ADD 5% TO THE COST, UH, ESTIMATES FOR THE POOL WOULD THIS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR.
AND AS FAR AS THE PROPERTIES CONCERN, UH, PUBLIC WORKS IS CLEARED THE WAY FOR A ROAD FROM PINE TREE TO VILLAGE WOODS.
WHEN DOES THAT PROPOSAL GRANT PROPOSAL GOING TO BE SUBMITTED? WE SUBMITTED TO THE RECREATION RESOURCES OFFICE NEXT WEEK.
I WAS JUST WONDERING WHEN IT WENT IN QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER ANSWER.
DO YOU NEED A COMMITMENT ON LOCAL MATCH TONIGHT? DO YOU NEED A COMMITMENT ON LOCAL MATCH? YEAH, I NEED A WRITTEN, I NEED IT IN THE MINUTES THAT THE BOARD AGREES YOU SAY THE BOARD WOULD NEED TO APPROVE A MATCH OF, UH, UH, LIKE, UH, LIKE SOME WHAT $250,000 SECOND, UH, WHICH WE CAN GO TO THE COUNTY AND ASK FOR HALF OF THAT BECAUSE THE COUNTY FOLKS ARE GONNA BE HEAVY IN THAT POOL TOO.
AND YOU HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.
DO WE NEED A ROLL CALL ON THAT? ALRIGHT.
OH, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES.
AND I, UH, BY THE WAY, HE HAD SEVERAL, I GUESS YOU MIGHT SAY DISCONNECTED OR UNRELATED.
THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME FROM DIFFERENT GROUPS.
AND I ASKED THEM, YOU KNOW, IF THE CITY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN JOINING WITH THEM AND BUILD THEM A POOL, SO THERE MIGHT BE SOME GOOD OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUTTING TOGETHER SEVERAL DIFFERENT APPROACHES AND BUILDING THIS THING AND YOU KNOW, DOING IT.
AND, UM, WELL YOU DON'T WANT TO BE DONE AND BE DONE WITH IT.
WELL, WE NEED TO PURSUE ALL OPTIONS AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, HE'S GOING ON HIS OWN PERSONAL.
IS THAT ANYBODY ELSE GOT ANY QUESTIONS? ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU.
NEXT THING IS A PROBLEM HEARING FOR THE 9 1, 1 OR NINE 11 SURCHARGE ORDINANCE.
I THINK HE KNOWS HE'S GOING TO EXPLAIN IT.
HE'S JUST A LITTLE SLOW MOVING.
THAT'S A NO, NO WORD EVER SAID THAT, RIGHT? THERE'S A LONG STORY.
WELL, HEY, I BROUGHT THEM TO GET THE BEGINNING.
BY THE TIME HE GOT INTO THE HANDS IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, UH, THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE THAT WE HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT IS AN ORDINANCE, UH, BASICALLY THAT WILL ALLOW SPRINT TELEPHONE TO COLLECT NINE ONE, ONE SURCHARGE MONEY, WHICH THEY ALREADY ARE COLLECTING, BUT RATHER THAN SEND IT TO THE CAMMIE, WILLING TO ADMINISTER, THEY WERE SAYING OUR PORTION DIRECTLY TO US.
WHAT THE PLAN IS, IS THAT IN JULY, WE WILL SEPARATE FROM THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE RIGHT NOW, EXCUSE ME.
AND, UH, WE WILL ACTUALLY DO OUR OWN ADMINISTRATION FOR THAT SYSTEM.
WELL, ONE, ONE THING I THINK NEEDS TO BE MADE CLEAR TO FOLKS THAT DON'T KNOW, YOU MADE A STATEMENT THAT WE'RE TAKING IT OVER FROM THE COUNTY'S CONNECTION.
THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL MONEY NOW.
THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL CITIZENS.
IT'S JUST THAT WE GOING TO GET IT DIRECT RATHER THAN GOING THROUGH THE COUNTY.
UM, IN ORDER FOR A SPRINT TO SEND THE CHECK US IN ORDER TO IT'S HAS TO BE IN PLACE, UH, BY THE CITY TO ALLOW THEM TO SEND THAT CHECK, WHATEVER I UNDERSTAND, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE LET'S SEE IN THIS PROGRAM AND HERE IT'S NOT AN ADDITIONAL TAB.
IT'S THE SAME SURCHARGE IT'S IN PLACE NOW.
IT'S JUST DIFFERENT PLACE WHERE THE CHECKS BEING MAILED SINCE THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, IS ANYBODY HERE OPPOSED TO THAT? AND LIKE MICHAEL COMMENT HOME THAT I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUPPET HERE.
[00:15:02]
CALL ROLE-PLAYS YES, YES, YES, YES.NEXT THING WE HAVE AS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER RESIGNING IN 3.6, FIVE ACRES LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET WEST OF THE NORTHERN MOST TERMINUS WITH BELMONT BOULEVARD, FROM OUR TNA RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO OUR EIGHT RESIDENTIAL.
WHO'S GOING TO GIVE US THE RUN DOWN ON THAT MIC.
WOULD YOU, WAS THERE ANYTHING THAT THEY OWNER HAS REQUESTED THAT THIS BE WITHDRAWN? UH, THE, THE APPLICANT HAS WITHDRAWN THAT REQUEST.
PROBABLY HEARING WAS OPEN MAN CLOTHES SINCE IT HAD NO MEANING.
NEXT THING IS A CONSENT AGENDA.
YOU SHOULD HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.
WE HAVE THE CONSENT AGENDA CALLED LOAD FLEET.
YOU WANT ME TO SAY BOBBY G KNOWS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY ROBERT OR BOBBY? NO, SIR.
UM, NO, NO MISCELLANEOUS, JUST A WALL.
MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
I HAVE A RESOLUTION BY WHICH THE BOARD WOULD APPROVE THE AMENDMENT THIRD AMENDMENT OPTION AGREEMENT AND AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL PROPERTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE QUARRY FROM MARTIN MARIETTA, A COPY OF THIS FOR YOU.
THE ONLY THING THIS DOES, WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE HAD IN THE PAST, THEY HAVE AGREED TO EXTEND THE OPTION PERIOD TO APRIL 15TH.
IF THE PARAGRAPH TWO AT THE TOP OF PAGE TWO PROVIDES THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IN ORDER FOR SELLER TO EXTEND THE OPTION PERIOD PAST THE APRIL 15TH, 1999, DATE PURCHASER WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY THE SELLER.
THE SUM OF $200,000 PRIOR APRIL 15TH, 1999 OF THIS $200 PAYMENT, $100,000 WILL APPLY TO THE PURCHASE PRICE.
IN THE EVENT THAT PRACTICE THE EXERCISE, THE OPTION TO CLOSE A PURCHASE $100,000.
WELL, NOT A FLAT OF SAID PURCHASE PRICE, NO PORTION OF THE $200,000 PAYMENT WILL BE REFUNDABLE.
THE PURCHASE ON ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PAYMENT OF THIS $200,000 WOULD EXTEND THE OPTION PERIOD FROM APRIL 15TH, 1999 THROUGH INCLUDING JULY 31ST, 1999.
THIS WAS WHAT I MENTIONED TO YOU AT THE LAST MEETING.
THE LAST REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD, UH, MARTIN MARIETTA POSITION WAS THAT WE WERE ASKING THEM TO EXTEND BASED ON THE PURCHASE PRICE OF TWO AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.
AND OF COURSE THE INTEREST THEY WOULD HAVE EARNED ON THE MONEY, BEEN EATING INTO THE PURCHASE PRICE.
THEY CAME UP WITH THIS SUGGESTION, ASSUMING THAT THE CITY WILL BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTION BEFORE APRIL 15TH OR BY APRIL 15TH, THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL SOUND TO BE PAID OTHER THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR WHICH THEY'VE AGREED TO SELL IT.
SO, IN OTHER WORDS, WE GOT TO MAKE UP MY MIND AS THE BOTTOM LINE.
ONCE THAT'S DONE WITH A LOT OF WHICH SETS OUT THE CONDITIONS THAT THE CITY HAS TO MEET, THEN THE CITY WILL BE A POSITION WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DECIDE.
WELL, LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
DOES ANY OF THAT MAGIC TO THE APRIL 15TH NUMBER? I MAY NOT MISS INCOME TAX DAY, BUT I PROBABLY HAD, NO, IT DOES NOT.
THAT WAS A DATE THAT WAS SUGGESTED THE WELL WE ASKED FOR APRIL 30TH, BUT THEY CAME BACK AND SAID, AND I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW CONCRETE THAT IS BECAUSE I'M TALKING TO MR. HARTMAN, REALLY LADY THAT TWO WEEKS IS ONE OF THEM TO SOME OF THE GRANTS, UH, PERMITTING AND GRANTS.
BUT WE WON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE DOOR RIGHT AT THE END OF THE MONTH.
SO YOU KNOW, THAT TWO WEEKS IS GOING TO BE A BIG DEAL AS FAR AS REALLY KNOWING POSITIVE A HUNDRED PERCENT THAT
[00:20:01]
WE WON'T RECORD VERSUS SLIDE AGAIN, 15.I WONDER IF THERE'S ANY OPPORTUNITY.
AS I RECALL THAT ON CAME UP WITH APRIL 1ST BILL WAS THAT TIME I TAUGHT AND THEN I HAD HIM ON SPEAKER PHONE AND WE TALKED HIM INTO GOING TO THE 15TH.
I DON'T THINK THEY'LL GO TO THE 30TH, UNLESS YOU CAN EXERCISE SOME OF YOUR MAGIC.
YOU MUST BE TALKING ABOUT, WE DON'T NEED A WATERHOLE UNLESS WE GOT A GRANT.
THERE'S NO WAY TO WHERE WE CAN.
SO BY, BY ADOPTING THIS RESOLUTION, WE'RE NOT BOUND.
WE'RE REQUESTING AN EXTENSION AFTER APRIL 15TH.
THEN WE GOT TO COME UP WITH $200,000.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY TRUCKS RIGHT NOW.
I MOVE TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.
WELL, I ALSO SLEEP AT 200,100,000.
WE'RE GO AGAINST THE PURCHASE PRICE.
LIKE YOU SAID, ANOTHER HUNDRED THOUSAND.
IT'S JUST GOING TO BE DRAGGING THEM THROUGH THE LAST YEAR.
OF COURSE I WOULD SAY THIS ALSO THAT THE MAYOR TALK, THE ORIGINAL PRICE WAS 2.8, 5 MILLION, AND THE MAYOR TALK THEM DOWN TO 2.5.
SO THAT'S THREE TIMES BELOW WHAT WE WERE.
WE ARE THE PRIME BUYER FOR THEM.
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER MARKETS.
I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH LAND FOR MUCH DEVELOPMENT AROUND FOR THAT CONTRACT.
WHILE I'M SAYING, IS THIS CONTRACT TO SAY, WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING MEDICAL FOR 15.
I JUST, IF IT WASN'T THAT MEANINGFUL TO THEM, AND THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING, YOU KNOW, THAT THE OTHER TWO WEEKS WOULD BE REALLY, IT'S NOT FOR US BECAUSE WE COULD NOT.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHY SWEPT DID LEAKS, UH, YOU KNOW, NOT KNOWING POSITIVELY WHETHER WE DON'T MEAN, I MEAN, WE CAN, WE CAN DO IT EITHER WAY, BUT ONE WAY YOU KNOW, WAS A LITTLE, LITTLE MORE, I STILL THINK IT'S NEGOTIABLE.
I THINK IF WE GET RIGHT DOWN TO IT, WE'RE THE 10TH.
WELL, THE LABEL AND WE NEED ANOTHER TWO, TWO AND A HALF WEEK.
I MEAN THE WEEK AGO, WE'RE NOT BOUND TO DO ANYTHING IF WE ASKED FOR THE OPTION EXTENSION, BUT SEE, WE HAVE A BAD THING.
WHAT I MEANT TO SAY WAS THAT POINT, I THINK THEY WILL AGREE TO A WAVE IN THIS FOR THE PAYMENT OF $200,000 AS OPPOSED TO NOT BUYING.
IF THEY WERE SURE THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TELL THEM SOMETHING, CAN I, BEFORE WE ACTUALLY EXECUTED A VISIT TO COME BACK AND FORTH ON BOARD, WELL, WE COULDN'T, THIS WOULD, THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO STAY.
THEY WANTED TO EXERCISE IT AGAIN.
AS LONG AS WE COULD GO THROUGH WITH, WE NEED TO BE DISCUSSING THIS, UH, THE EFFECT, THIS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT MODIFICATION IS GOING TO HAVE ON THE BLD LEVEL THAT WE'RE TRYING TO CURTAIL.
OH, IT'S ALL BECAUSE WE MIGHT BE, WE MIGHT BE DIMINISHING RETURNS.
I DON'T KNOW, BUT YOU ALWAYS RUN INTO DIMINISHING RETURNS WHEN YOU GO AND GO AHEAD AND GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE RESOLUTION.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.
YOU WANT TO ITEM MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, UM, WITH DEREGULATION AND THE ELECTRIC INDUSTRY COME IN ON THE WAY THAT OUR BONDS ARE STRUCTURED THROUGH THE POWER AGENCY.
IT STATES THAT IF THERE IS CHOICE GIVEN TO OUR CUSTOMERS UNDER FEDERAL LAW, THEY WILL, THE BONDS WILL LOSE THEIR TAX EXEMPT STATUS.
SO BASICALLY WHAT POSITION THAT PUTS US IN IS WE WOULD HAVE TO PREVENT CHOICE FROM OUR CUSTOMERS IN ORDER TO AVOID HAVING THE BONDS THAT THE POWER AGENCY HAS GOING INTO, UH, A SITUATION WHERE THEY'LL LOSE THEIR TAX EXEMPT STATUS.
AND OF COURSE, THAT'LL MEAN A LOT OF EXTRA, A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EXTRA MONEY THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID.
THERE WE'RE NOT THE ONLY STATE, EVEN IN THIS, IN THIS SITUATION.
THERE'S A BILL IN CONGRESS HAS BEEN INTRODUCED A HOUSE BILL 2182.
[00:25:01]
AND THE ELECTRICITIES IS REQUESTING THAT WE SUPPORT THIS BILL.WHAT THIS BILL WOULD DO WOULD BE TO ELIMINATE THAT PROVISION SO THAT THE TAX EXEMPT STATUS OF THE BONDS WOULDN'T BE PROTECTED, WHETHER THERE WAS CHOICE OR NOT AMONG, YOU KNOW, SPORT, UH, POWER COMPANIES.
SO, UH, I, I WOULD, UH, RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD AUTHORIZED THE MAYOR TO SIGN A LETTER, WHICH WE WILL PREPARE TO ENDORSE THIS, UH, BUILD THE, UH, I BELIEVE THE REPRESENTATIVE IS FROM WASHINGTON STATE HAS INTRODUCED AND SEND IT TO OUR REPRESENTATIVES, ASKING THEM TO LEND THEIR SUPPORT TO THAT DEAL.
ROLL, CALL THEM ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE, ALL OPPOSED.
AND THEN MAYOR, UH, IT WAS ONE THING I DID DID OVERLOOK AND I TALKED TO MS. LEE EARLIER AND I WAS HOPING SHE'D BE HERE.
BUT, UH, SHE DID HAVE AN APPOINTMENT OF A JIM STEVENS TO THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION.
AND SHE TOLD ME IF SHE WASN'T HERE TO MAKE THAT, UH, THAT NOMINATION HALL AT THE NOMINATE, MR. JIM STEVENS TO THE HISTORICAL PRESERVATION COMMISSION.
YES, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING LEFT.
I JUST LIKE TO MAKE ONE COMMENT THAT PROBABLY SOME PEOPLE WONDERING WHY I CALLED MR. RAINER.
WHEN I FOUND OUT TODAY, YOU KNOW, A LOT ABOUT PEOPLE, WE KNOW THAT MAX WAS THE DRAMA, LET ME CLEAN OFF HIS VAN RIGHT NOW.
MAYBE WE GOT SOME FAMOUS PEOPLE NOW FIND OUT TODAY THAT ROBERT REINER USED TO BE A GREAT AND FAMOUS DISC JOCKEY CALLED BOBBY G YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO BE CALLING.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL GET USED TO, BUT I SAY HE COULD'VE PUT WOLF MAN, JACK MACHINE.
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT AN HONOR.
I APPRECIATE THOSE WHO EMBELLISHED MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
NUMBER 15 SAYS I CAN'T SEE IT THAT WELL,
