0:30Welcome to the Bruns of Group Therapy podcast with Lucas and Kimberly. Welcome to the Bruns of Group Therapy podcast with Lucas and Kimberly.

1:31Welcome to the Bruns of Group Therapy podcast with Lucas and Kimberly. Sure. Alright, we're here. We're live. We're doing it. And from the basement again. That's kind of creepy. It's so much easier to do it this way and more often. It is. We don't talk over each other usually. We have to live on the internet forever. It's a real quick one today. I can get a hang of moving stuff around. Copy. We hope you. Yeah. You're right. We have another date, huh?

2:31Yeah. This one, uh, this one actually moved closer. Was the 23rd. Oh, and then it was the 16th of this month. Now moved away to March. No, that's actually. You're right. Oh, but it's been a log top comment. I think it was concrete issue. Luckily, there's. Any of other. Coffee places. Somebody said, we have 20 other shops. Like, man, I quite that many, but you know, I'm most excited about this one. Yeah, that is good. 11 o'clock. I think one of them closes at three. One of them closes at seven. One of them closes at nine. And then this will be up until 11. So they got us covered, I think. All kinds of offering.

3:33Maybe it's March 30th now. We'll see. Did see some kind. Like they did steps. They haven't put the. Yeah, they did. Oh, did they. So we're down. We're looking at you guys. Yeah, they're there. They're there. Oh, hi. What's coming up now? We have no clue what we're doing. Well, he knows what he's doing, but I don't. So I'll just look wherever. But anyway, moving on. Good thing this is going to be a short one today. We'll talk about the ground. We're going to go over this. And we're going to see what they're doing. We're going to see what they're doing. Let's see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They've got. These little drinks there. Eddie bear latte. And. Up so you can check them out in the meantime and between time. But pretty delicious. They do. And I like how they took all their. F members.

4:33Pop of the drinks and next to the drinks. Well, I think they named him after. Oh, is that what all. Yeah, see that's a. An Emma. Nicole. I think that's the name of. the people right now. We gotta go like this. They are here. Wait. Oh, we've got be patient with you guys. This is gonna be wait. Now I know why people get confused when they're doing tiktoks and stuff and they point. They move it on. So I just put this up the other day yesterday. Yeah. We don't have to pretend like we're three days out now. We have seen Patrick's Day events guide. So if anybody has anything to add to it, there it is. We've got market 42's got some stuff going on and a couple other places have added their stuff. Market 42 has crack playing. It's a local band from Brunswick that plays Irish punk. I wish me kind of it. It's an upbeat. You can find them on YouTube. I've been around

5:35for many years. So they'll be there three to six o'clock. I will be there because I love band either corn, beef, cheese, belly, that double stacked sandwich. That's going to be the same much this year. Thank me. We got this one. Who's menu is that? Let's see. Oh, well, it doesn't say. So who's ever menu that is? Ali posted the menu, but wait, was to say below it. There's another comment below. Backyard. Oh, the backyard. There we go. Should have recognized. So there's all that. Oh, in the cocktail. Yeah. But anyway, it's just search for it. You'll find all great things going around town. Eggs and eggs. Yeah. That's like your thing now. We just follow you. And then you post picture is not. I'm just like, where's he at now? Look at the cheeks are getting redder.

6:39One of the same Patrick stays. We might have gone overboard. No, they'll stay at the end of the day. So all right, all right. Tell us about this. You went to. I didn't actually go to this. We didn't go to this. Okay. But there was an executive executive session at meeting at City Hall or. It was City Hall. So normally they go into executive session where nobody can attend when they're hiring, firing, promoting, demoting, disciplining, talking about pay, that kind of thing. And that's pretty common. I have never seen this before. And I thought it's as a motion to go in an executive session to consider confidential information related to the marking plans, specific business strategy, production techniques,

7:41trade secrets, or personal financial statements of an applicant. So that doesn't narrow it down anybody for economic development assistance. So they're asking for help that involves public infrastructure improvements or the extension of utility services that are directly related to an economic development project. So very secret. But, but here's here's my thing. It involves public infrastructure improvement. Yeah. So stuff that you and I pay for. Well, it's going to be our money going somewhere. But they want to make it. Yeah. I mean, it's the first step. So they're keeping a confidential. And I guess I'm in that. But to me, this kind of shows that something major might be happening. It might just be, you know, let's talk about it if it is. It might be the water. It might be the water company saying, hey, we need some

8:43help to get the waters up something like that. It may be a major business that, you know, wants a big utility company. Another, another front to your fiber or something. Yeah. Well, speaking to new business, we did see there's a small one or not going to announce it yet. But there's a small one coming in over another space being filled at Hickory Ridge Plaza. Yeah. So, I think it was, I think it was Mark's Plaza that I saw there was a Brunswick nutrition. You did that. We've been there done there. It was over where connections is now over by wild vision. Yeah. It was in there. Actually, it's exactly where connections is now. Confection connection. Somebody's trying it again. Oh, well, you don't succeed. There we go. I try again. Yeah. All right.

9:46Here we go. What? Fine. It's cravings. It's making Easter dinner. It's just packages for pack for $120. Now, this is I am Nichols who was on. Something good network. It was a show on food network. That's all I remember. Yeah. But you pick up the food at Grounded Bean. Hmm. Life easier. Eat meat does. So you can go to finest cravings.com and wait in the time. All right. Yeah. Good stuff. What else do I got? I think that was it. I mean, I had I mentioned my personal page that I had an interesting conversation.

10:50That's that was a little bit upset with me, but it was it was interesting. That's all I can say. I'm not sure how to talk about it without being mean. How do we talk about it without? Oh, I guess you can just talk about. You're the one that said I should talk about it. You can talk about what they were mad about. I mean, right? Um, it all it has to do with my hashtag that said, bringing back honey. Yeah. Well, it ruffled some yeah, it ruffled some feathers and this person was extremely upset at the end of the phone call. And yeah, I was going to say that I was going to play the victim. And I'm like, victim, I don't feel victimized. This is a, you know, yeah. I we've been at this for probably 12 years now, at least 12 years. And I don't think I've ever had a business call me and say, don't talk about it. I mean, I had one that threatened my existence. Oh, well, I mean, I don't know about it.

11:55It was a struggle business, but oh, I mean, you know, it just it happens. We get, you should see some of the stuff that we get almost on a daily basis. I share some of the answers that people do to join the group. And I think those are, those are a lot of fun and stuff too. But, um, yeah, I don't know what to say. I'll be a honey hunt die hard. So it's okay. You can like things that you like. I can have an opinion. They said that you don't know what your influence is doing. Really? Really? I mean, it's just me. I don't do, I'm just too, I am. I don't, you know, and I know, I know some of you, I whenever I meet anyone in person, it's always, all right, how's this conversation going to go? Because some people don't like my bluntness and I get that. I totally get that. But you know what? It's me. And it's, it's who I am. And a lot of people, I've had several people come and say to me recently that others have been saying something

12:57about me and they said, well, once you get to know her, she's totally different. Because I ruffle feathers. This is true. And you ruffle feathers, but you do it behind the scenes. And so it makes me look like the bad guy all the time. And I'm okay with that. We've kind of got kind of this ying and yang thing going on. I got you. I've protected you. But anyway, oh, we completely forgot to look at the comments. Oh, is there any? Hi, Kristen. Hi, Cassidy. But it's just, this is not easy to do. We are 52,000 members now. And one of, if not the largest in Northeast Ohio community group. And Lucas and I have been coming down a little bit on some people and deleting some comments. And somebody should be able to ask something on the page without, you know, all these thick filet. But anyway, you know, some of the,

13:58some of the comments and stuff like that. And I'm guilty of it too. I've done it. You've done it from time to time. You know, we're all, we're all guilty of it. But it's Facebook. Let's concentrate on the good things that we can do with it. And I don't know where I was going with this. But I'm sorry that I ruffled feathers yesterday. It's not the first time. It's not going to be the last time. And I still want honey hot back. And that's okay. You can have that opinion. I mean, you know, if I, if I say that great American pizza company is my favorite pizza place. And that's where we order. And it is. Okay, there it is. It's not going to close every other pizza place in the world. Right. We all have our opinions. Some people like custard, some people like ice cream. My opinion is not going to weigh anybody from somewhere that they it may make them try it. I suggest you go try great American people. Right. And I'm being paid for the endorsement. But there's all kinds of great pizza places. All kinds of great ice cream

14:59places. Coffee, you know, you know, we have, we have just about everything now. It is. And that's what makes the town great. We're willing to bring their money to town and open up a business. And we'll support them all. You know, I will say the ones that reach out to us or that give us feedback or get involved in the community, I will talk about a little bit more frequently. Correct. Because they're on the front of my mind. The ones that don't, you know, if I like them, I'll talk about them. And I don't. Yeah. For them, I may not. I mean, and, and, you know, being involved with B3 now and seeing businesses, you know, we've got a organized way to get people involved now, which is great. I mean, we're doing Lucas is now attending B3. And so we're doing great things with that. But if you're not putting yourself out there on the radar, either with us or with the community and doing something, then you're kind of off our radar. So jump in. I mean, we would love to support you however we can. Ironically, this business that got upset

16:05in the two years of existence, they've only posted in the group once. Yeah. And Lucas and I have posted their information probably a dozen times. Yeah, at least. Yeah. So, you know, I'm not, I'm not going to say I'm sorry because I'm not, but bringing back honey, hi, no. This person was very upset and I'm sorry that they're upset, but I have you guys know me. I know regrets. I mean, a couple more comments. Kristen Gerard says team custard. Oh, Ross likes your shirt. Well, why would me? Yeah. Well, you know, so I think, you know, this is, and this is going to be the new format we want to interact with you guys. So, you know, leave the comments, ask us questions, whatever you'd like to do whenever we go live, you'll be able to replay this at any time that you'd like. And I think we might even go into a little bit more of a discussion format like this too on some certain things. So, if there's

17:06anything that you want us to talk about that you feel, what was the hot topic today besides the power outage? You posted about the streets, you know, what streets got. Yeah, asphalt streets and stuff like that. So, if you, you know, feel your street needs done, what should they do? Reach out to you or the service director. I know what's going on, but I'm not in charge of anything. Right. Exactly. Exactly. So, that kind of stuff, I think we just want to be a little more, you know, less robotic and more interactive and stuff like this. So, yeah. Anything else? That's it. Great conversations. Yeah, as always. Take care, Brunswick. All right, we'll see you guys. Bye. As always, I want to thank you for checking out the Brunswick Group Therapy podcast and for
