Poppily Stowe and everything like that.
00:00:29
It would be like a hundred and fifteen degrees.
00:00:32
It just died.
00:00:33
It was really cold.
SPEAKER_04
00:00:35
Yeah, and sweat.
00:00:36
And then I got mad.
SPEAKER_03
00:00:40
My cousins switched it out.
00:00:42
They went and bought one of those new pellet heaters.
00:00:45
And they were like, oh, because you can regulate it and everything.
00:00:47
And I was like, totally put one out.
00:00:49
And now I used to just go outside and toss some wood and throw it in.
00:00:52
And it was fine.
00:00:53
Now I have to go down right now and go buy the pellet.
00:00:57
My parents house up in PA still has like the coal chute, the basement, the old house.
SPEAKER_04
00:01:14
Coal was good.
00:01:15
I mean, my grandpa, he had coal and he put it in the cook stove and he left it on that and that light and he was shaking.
00:01:27
I met Bill Jackson, he was doing pretty well.
00:01:30
I was coming to get some aisles on all the aisles and he was doing pretty good.
00:01:45
Good way of getting killed, man.
00:01:48
That's like on a ship.
00:01:50
You don't want to sell off this boat.
SPEAKER_02
00:01:55
It's not all stacked in the back like usually because I knew they were going to do that.
00:02:00
And they should have, I had to hook up the bailer.
00:02:02
I hooked the blade, hook the bailer up, and then it came out and flashed everything.
00:02:05
And they said, there's some more hard parts going on in the spring.
SPEAKER_04
00:02:10
So it's finally tamped down a little bit.
00:02:17
No, I work for energy comp.
00:02:21
I don't know what's going to happen with the Department of Energy.
00:02:23
I mean, they would have got me out of it at the end of the day if I wanted to, but after they weren't working, I was like, no, it's all right.
00:02:36
Very disturbing.
00:02:37
There's a lot of money for them.
00:02:41
Do you want to see me on call?
SPEAKER_03
00:03:09
sustainable energy.
00:03:12
Jimmy Carter's really interesting because he was a Navy nuke.
00:03:17
Yeah, he was a good guy.
00:03:19
He was the first guy, they put him, Canada had a nuclear reactor that was having issues and they lowered him down into the reactor and everything before he was president.
00:03:30
He got out of the service and was doing private stuff.
00:03:33
Yeah, so he fixed all that and that's like, I think, personally, I'd like
00:03:39
I'm too young to remember his legacy of life.
SPEAKER_04
00:03:43
I felt like even though it was a movie, I was like, I'm his brother.
00:03:56
I think my dad would mess up anything.
00:04:09
He's a good man.
00:04:11
Have you ever come off all that?
00:04:15
Steve Moss, he worked at Three Mile Mountain.
00:04:19

00:04:27
Muffet was down there.
00:04:33
He said, I asked him, he said, how many people died from radiation in this country?
00:04:40
No, it's not.
00:04:41
And the band is scared to death.
SPEAKER_03
00:04:47
