THIS WEEK in the Monadnock Region:

* We turn the heat on (but thank god we don't have wood heat)

* We do not have a hurricane (but we could use the rain)

* We do not violate the water ban edict of S****ag (but don't rat out your neighbors)

* Even if the phrase is ruined, sometimes "the vibes are off" is the right phrase (we don't really care if Trevor Noah leaves, but we do care about Four Winds Farm)

* Is it possible for the once-top downtown bar to lose the Mandate of Heaven? (yes, not to culturally appropriate)

* Sometimes nobody remembers how heady the Aughts really were (it wasn't as definitionless as we thought)

* As a society, we need to let our hair down a little bit (we are more puritan than the puritans)

* The cultural state of weed smoking among the middle class in 2022 (to the extent that we even know)

* A whole treatise on the importance of festivals (wait til you hear what happened to Peak into Peterborough)

THIS WEEK in the Monadnock Region, we bring you another Very Special Episode

* Yes, we self-censored Episode 38 because it was just too negative in tone to unleash on the world (righteous anger is actually the worst kind)

* We give a very quick and even-tempered recap of the things we MIGHT have talked about in the TOO-HOT-FOR-THE-INTERNET episode (guess which issues)

* We gently suggest that the democratic nominees for Hillsborough 33 become like House of Cards (or The Wire, it's what Barack Obama would want)

* OUR VERY SAD NEWS: Sam Abbott Sells Homes, Gets Hacked, Leaves M/U Media (conspiracies abound as to the real reason)

* For real, we owe him a million thanks, everything that we are currently doing is thanks to Sam (but we still give him shit, even if he's very young)

* Find out what we'll be doing NEXT on the program and beyond

* ONE LAST ROUND of missed connections - Sam is gonna help people find love before riding off into the sunset

In all seriousness, our jokes only mask the sincere sorrow we feel at this conscious uncoupling with our close friend and partner. A million thanks to you, Sam - and go see him if you want to buy or sell a house!

** DON'T FORGET DAD ROCK IN THE MONADNOCK REGION - DOWN BY TEN AT RILEY'S PLACE IN MILFORD SATURDAY 10/1 AT 8 PM**

THIS WEEK IN THE MONADNOCK REGION...

* Chris discusses his favorite erroneous pro-winter meme while rocking an even thicker summer mustache than usual (#cantletgo)

* We face the dilemma as to whether or not to watch the new Lord of the Rings show (which leads to another deep discussion of prestige television, including House of the Dragon; is HBO the only entity capable of making real prestige tv?)

* Highlights from the Peterborough Parley II - what will happen in Hillsborough 33? (Find out how Peterborough is like The Wire)

* Should Peterborough be a one-party-ideas town? (more fights make us stronger)

* We gotta find George Hansel (the dems are interfering in this primary!)

* The greatest Peterborough Fire & Rescue FB post of all time (all's well that ends well, no 9/11)

* One of the worst posts in Group HISTORY (yes it's the one you're thinking of)

Our footage of the Peterborough Parley II (sorry about the buzz): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHaguRjzJrs

WE LIED last week - Chad and DOWN BY TEN *are* playing in Milford on 10/1 but at RILEY'S PLACE. 9/17 is Dad Rock at Mom's. We regret the lie.

(We thought Sam went into hiding but he was actually working on getting a certain politician on the show)

THIS WEEK in the Monadnock Region...

* Sam Abbott Sells Homes Gets Hacked (we've been trying to tell you guys that phishing can happen to ANYONE but we promise we did not do this to Sam just to make a point)

* We discuss social media in general and the bizarre ways we communicate with different people in our lives using different tools (naturally, Elon Musk and Chinese Vine come into the conversation)

* (Hot Dad) Monadnock Summer continues with lots of blissfully anarchic pond usage (plus great area cocktail parties, amateur fireworks shows, and other Independence Day glamor)

* Coverage of the Greenville midnight Pots and Pans Parade (Greenville and Rindge is the future, just wait and see; Sununu was there)

* Speaking of interesting and skilled politicians, what the hell is the deal with George Hansel? (It's gotta be interesting if we spent time talking about the Mayor of Keene...maybe we can get him on the program)

* Find out how to meet us live, with JAZZ (August 12, the Night Market should already be on your calendar anyway)

* People are tense but are the phantom tire slashers real? Were Rec staffers camping at Adams Playground (Tales from the Police Log...)
