***Today’s Topics***

6:10-6:20:

- Cable as we know it will be changing. HBO is the first one to do it, but it may start to become a regular thing. You can individually order HBO alone, without having cable.

- This will probably cause a chain reaction and people will be able to pick and choose what networks they want. It may end up that local channels may suffer.

6:20-6:30:

- We review what's going to be on today's show.

- We talk about crazy TV shows.

Scott Gehringer - The Ice Cream Factory

- Before we get to Scott, we talk about the store in a Buffalo Mall that has engraved in the tile, "Wide Right" and "No Goal." They had to know they'd get some grief and press. Right now they have a rug covering it, but now they have to re-tile it. Their intentions weren't to ruffle feathers.

- Now to Scott:

- Scott is the owner of the Ice Cream Factory in Chadwicks! He now has a location open at the Sangertown Square Mall. Scott thinks this is crazy how much publicity they're getting.

- Scott talks about the decision to move to the mall. A lot of this decision stems from customer demands.

- Scott talks about what goes into the decision to choosing the retailers for the ice cream. He buys from a lot of different retailers to get all the unique flavors he can. He is bringing soft custard which is something you can't find unless it's west of Rochester.

7:25-7:35:

- We continue the Ice Cream discussion and temptations.

- The Hobika Law Firm is putting up $500 to the person who guesses the one who will lose the most weight and by how much.

- A man's blanket gets stuck in a washing machine and he was trying to loosen it and the blanket let loose and the machine started back up ripping his hand right off.

George Joseph - Republican Majority Leader for the Oneida County Legislature

- The Frank Tallarino lawsuit has cost the Oneida County tax payers a lot of money and those funds could have been used for better purposes like libraries or as Jeff put it, the Stanley.

- We also talk to Mr. Joseph about Apple Cider!
