Live At Five

Glenn had City Council Candidate Ben Shoen in today less than a week before Election Day. Ben went over the big city issues, including his thoughts about the recent water main break. TJ Babcock stopped by too, to give Ben support, both are running for the two open council seats. Ben also has a flat-tax property idea too, based on the lot size only.

Glenn was solo today, and was waiting for Joe to call, but he didn't. Good stuff today, Glenn gave us his thoughts about the Israeli conflict and took several calls concerning the Marine Admiral who has suspended promotions in the military due to his anti-abortion stance. Johnny Spezzano stopped by to let all know how successful day one was for his Children's Miracle Network Radio-Thon.

City Council Candidate, Leornard Spazziani had a rousing show today! Glenn asked the 'necessary' questions about the golf course deal, the pool AND why Leonard was seen helping sitting councilman, Cliff Olney take down a political sign on Factory Street. Another candidate chimed in to say Leonard was lying too. Plus, Leonard addressed questionable remarks made from another candidate too.

Write-In City Council Candidate, Jason Traynor was in the studio today to tell voters he has the conviction to be city councilman. Jim Leven popped in and the conversation gravitated towards the death of actor Matthew Perry over the weekend. Then it was back to Jason, who thinks drugs and poverty are huge issues in Watertown. Plus, he believes JCC should be a four year college.

Glenn had Cheryl Zeldin John and Tommy John today to get their thoughts about the Israeli conflict. This went on until the bottom of the hour, then Glenn talked about the accident that killed a young Watertown man and the sad news about the Watertown Zoo closing. It looks like it's for good too. Sad, just like everything else.

Wow, not (1) but (2) candidates for city council today! TJ Babcock AND his opponent, Ben Shoen were both on after Glenn's monthly conversation with Jerry Manor from Seacomm Credit Union. Both candidates talked about how their alliance will benefit the city of Watertown.

Passion, that's what AM1240 listeners have, passion for their city. Glenn covered this a day after his interview with City Council candidate Dr. Kimball. Glenn had Attorney Joe Stanley on today, he asked Joe about the rules around a school bus at a busy intersection.

Glenn had Dr. Robert Kimball on today's show. Retired Dr. Kimball is looking to become Watertown City Councilman. Plenty of callers today, who want to know how Dr. Kimball would have handled the golf course and pool deals with the current council members. Homelessness and the growing drug problems are at the top of his concern list.

Glenn did have a guest, it was supposed to be Councilwoman Lisa Rugierio, but she cancelled last minute. So, it was Glenn and his listeners. Too many 'In the Weeds' callers, so Glenn stretched his legs out about the Israeli/Palestinian crisis. Also, Cliff Olney wants answers to the water main break! Glenn says his press release looks like it was written by anyone else but Cliff!

Glenn had State Senator Mark Walczyk in today to talk about Albany, his thoughts about yesterday's water main break, and the positive initiatives set in place by his Republican colleagues. Good discussion about Natural Gas and Albany's attempt to eliminate it forever.

Glenn did a tribute to the late Suzzane Somers who passed away at 76. After a short shout out about tomorrow's debate, it was all Israel, and why people shouldn't be sympathetic to a country that was born to hate the Jews. Glenn asked Duff if any other Republican can win in 2024, he said no, Glenn agrees.

With the world gone crazy, it's tough to talk about anything other than Israel and the reaction to everything here in America. But, the local Zoo continues to be a topic, so that discussion continued today. Nice day out, so Glenn did most of the talking.

Glenn paid tribute to a local radio newsman who lost his battle to a recent illness. Also, Glenn had good things to say about the two streets dedicated to former mayors Jeff Graham and Joe Butler Jr. Crazy Ray also talked about how the Duff was rejected by Pat Sajak and didn't make the final cut to be on Wheel of Fortune.

No Joe today, so Glenn went solo on today's national and local issues. SG has an issue with Councilman Cliff Olney, and Glenn says Ozempic makes people look like aliens. Good stuff!

What a show and it's only Tuesday! Yesterday's show was for the 'ages' and today was an appropriate follow-up. Louie called in with his complaints, Jason wants an interview and the Speaker of the House is OUT! Plus, Glenn covered last night's council meeting and talked about how mean Swifties' really are. SG called to say Glenn is nuts!

Two guests on today's show. Seacomm Credit Union's Jerry Manor talked today about Student Loan recognition in October. Plus, Jerry added more tips on saving money. Then, City Council candidate, Ben Shoen was in the hot seat for 42 minutes, discussing why city rules hamper our efforts for real investments. Plenty of calls too.

Ok, bitching again about the city construction, but some chimed in too. Attorney Joe Stanley said the test to get your driver's license should include driving and merging on a highway! Yes! It should! Philadelphia is a mess, and it shouldn't surprise us if racism is back on the rise because of the visuals.

Hey, things are looking up! A recent ABC poll says Trump is up! But Glenn says, conservatives would still suffer if he does. A caller chimed and said, so what, let them, we need to get back! He's right. Good calls throughout and Glenn talked about why SU has one guy in their offense, and spoke about the story of a small plane crashing into the stands in Baltimore. A radio plane too, in old She...

It's Light-Hearted Friday, so Glenn talked about watching old movies last night, including 'Midnight Cowboy' and 'Joe' . A caller chimed in to talk about more. Then, it was off to the national political scene during the 2nd half, and Glenn stays committed to his heart, the Left is winning and the Left will continue to win over Americans. SG called in with his irrational impress...

Wow, Glenn was solo in the studio today! A great opportunity to talk about Secretary Garland's lies and the state of America today. Plus, should we be more racist today after seeing all the images of violence, theft and anger from our inner cities? Glenn asked that (carefully, of course) and argued with Donnie about what is real and what isn't.

The 'Day After' show wasn't as congested as yesterday's Cliff Olney show, however, it did include scraps from yesterday and some observations from listeners. Attorney Joe Stanley called in too and covered his thoughts about Amish buggies in traffic and the growing number of E Bikes and E Scooters on the streets.

What could be the most listened to Live at Five Show took place today, when Glenn interviewed City Councilman, Cliff Olney. Cliff is in the middle of a lot of city issues, including an inquiry by the ethics committee to remove Mr. Olney from council. Cliff gave his side of many stories today!

Legislator and businessman, Bobby Big Apple Bobby stopped by today to talk about the flower boxes, Court St and other city and county issues. Steady calls throughout today's show!

Whoa, it was the show of shows today! Mayor Jeff Smith stopped by just an hour after a special meeting at City Hall concluded. He had an 'earth-shaking' document that states 1.7 million went to a local businessman from the sale of Thompson Park golf course. Mayor Smith explained how a document was accidentally sent to city hall revealing a amount that was double what it was originally repo...

We had 'Carolina Chuck' in the studio today to talk about his celebrity status as a FX Caprara spokesperson. Chuck talked about how the Caprara family treats their customers, plus Chuck spoke very highly about the North Country too!
