in color a podcast from the Mac of All Trade Studio in Fairport and driven
by Victor Chrysler Dots. Gee Ram, It's Billified the Bill Moran Podcast.
Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on. Thank you
for telling a friend. That's how we spread the word. Thank you for
supporting those that support us. Danny is fading away. O my god,
stp half the man I used to be town looking good. Yeah, he's
down thirty pounds getting in the plane weight. Wow, this is very impressive.
Thirty pounds ago. I mean, I would like to get down another
thirty, but but that's that's probably gonna make me look gaunt, so I
don't try it. Yeah, you're young enough, you're just gonna uh well
react. That would be great if they had like elephant skin man. There's
some great surgeons in town that can take care of that's true. That is
true. It looks like Stewie after steroids. Save your back. There's probably
five pounds right there. Actually, didn't you do a bit with them?
Didn't you do something with Quaitella here like a month or two ago? I
can't. Oh no, no, no, no, something. We're talking
about a certain prosecutor that that went Oh that's wrong. Oh yeah yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah she did. Yeah, she was public about it.
She was very published. She looked great. Yeah, she looks fantastic,
and she went from droopy dog to hot Yeah, Mike God, I
think. Yeah, that was impressive. Greg Connor's back from Spain. Back
from Spain. Yeah, look at this. Yeah. It took a nice
trip with the boys to Madrid a couple of days, and then went to
Lisbon for a couple of days. Get them out of the country, getting
a whole new experience of how to survive and how to figure things out with
two different countries that speak completely two different languages. Yeah, so wait,
you went to Madrid first. Yeah, I love Madrid. Fling to Madrid.
It was a very cool city. Yes, it's very cultural, a
lot of fun, a lot of energy. The people there are very energetic.
Uh, never could have gotten that had not had not gone. We
had a very interesting weekend. That weekend that we were in Madrid was Pride
Weekend in Madrid. In Madrid and Madrid is known as from the people who've
been there that talked to me about it, for the people watching, yeah,
and it was significantly even more interesting. People were sure it was that
weekend. Now, the way I remembered, it was a long time ago
that I was there. This city shuts down at like two o'clock. I
mean it shuts down and then it doesn't really seem to come out of its
slumber until God, I felt like it was seven or because. So we
got we flew in from from Dallas and DC into Madrid. We got in
like eight in the morning. We got to the hotel around nine ish.
So we were like, okay, we want to grab some breakfast or some
brunch, and they're like, yeah, they're shut down. They don't open
up until about eleven eleven thirty for lunch brunch. Yeah, And he goes,
and then they're open till about two and then they shut down to seven's
for dinner. Yeah, I was, and then it doesn't I don't know
about dinner getting packed. I just remember going to a club in Madrid at
eleven o'clock and kind of letting out of you on like it's like nobody's there.
At one o'clock in the morning, you couldn't move and it stayed that
way till five. Yeah, it's like a totally different light. So we
got there and we talked to the concierge about, you know, like dinners
and in which clubs can I take the boys too? Well, I didn't.
It wasn't thinking that. I mean, Luke is Luca. The drink
The drinking age for beer was sixteen and I ran over McDonald's bicker and wine
is eight mcbud that was seventeen. They've got. The one thing about Madrid
that we really like that I just loved is that they have a ton of
rooftop restaurants and bars. So we essentially went like rooftop hopping and it was
a blast. But the concierge is like, Okay, we got a restaurant
for you, and then she was like, you know, you do you
guys want to go out afterwards? Like yeah, sure, She's like,
well, I can get your reservation at one of the one of one of
the great clubs. I'm like, all right, I'm like, she's like
what time. I'm like after dinner. She goes, Wow, it really
doesn't open until one, and it doesn't really get crank until about three,
and then it stays open till six. I looked at the boys and they
were like, we're going to be sound asleep. That's amazing, right,
bottle service yourself. And it's so like when I almost when you wake up
in the in that city, like we're so used to you go to New
York, Man, New York's hopping, Yeah, six a, it's you
hear people cursing on each other and bikers getting knocked off their bikes because the
truck just hit them. And it's pretty much like that everywhere. The only
other city that I thought was as quiet as Toronto. Toronto's very quiet.
Good to me, like I did, Yeah, so you see you once
in a while, you'll hear but it's always quiet. Madrid I just remember
traffic, but even that was like a light buzz if I remember in the
morning, Yeah, like does when do these people work? Interesting? So
for me, it's like Paris. I think Paris is the most beautiful city
I've ever been to the store. The buildings are only five or six stories
high. There's never garbage on the street. You don't smell anything. It's
what we know about the French, stinking French. Well they may not shower
doing, but that's why they have the perfumes. Yeah. Madrid was the
same way. The buildings aren't too high, probably five six stories. There's
not a ton of you know, they don't have like garbage like New York
there's just garbage everywhere. But they had beautiful trees, the tree lined streets.
Yeah, the streets are really narrow. That was the thing that kind
of grabbed me was how how old cobblestone? Yeah, there's a lot of
cobblestone, there were some of the main but everything and it was absolutely gorgeous.
And the people that were very friendly, they were very, very welcoming.
I want to ask you something because I have talked to people about Spain
and they wouldn't go to Spain because they hear and I don't know if the
truth or not, but all cards on the table, your son is black.
Yeah, they say that it's a racist country and I don't know if
that's true or not. Well, I will tell you that one of the
things that we had noticed or appreciated was the lack of racial diversity. I
mean there was some, but it wasn't nearly. I mean Toronto is like
everywhere you look, there's diversity, yes, but in Spain there really wasn't,
you know. And like if you go to London or Paris, you'll
see you know, Asian, you'll see you know, black round Indian,
there's it's everywhere. But there really wasn't a lot of that in Madrid.
I found were worried about that because of racism. Oh sure. Well the
other thing is so we were trying to figure I was trying to figure out
what should we do when we're in Madrid. How can we take in and
experience Spain through Madrid? So like, okay, what did what? What
important thing? What has Spain contributed to society in the world that you know
what? It was? Nothing? Nothing golf? You know, they got
like great golfers in soccer. That's there. I thought they funded Columbus.
Wait, don't talk about him? And didn't they fund him? I thought
they did? And then and then while we were in Madrid, the whole
thing broke about the tourists in Barcelona got paint thrown on them, and I
was going to ask you if you had that. We did not have any
of that. So we we had a tour guide. We were walking through
Madrid, which was and again beautiful, great architecture, is beautiful park,
kind of like Central Park. Uh, and we were like, you know,
what's your what's the number, what's the business? You know what makes
Spain tick economically? He goes, You're like us, yea, tourism.
It's the number one tourism. It So you know, you want to talk
about a government, they're going to those people that were throwing paint or spitting
on tourists. You don't want to do that. You're going to be unemployed.
Yeah, that's that is. So those were government workers that No,
I don't know if they were Okay. I I didn't follow that that well.
I remember going to a place called Coasta Dell Soul, which is down
on the beach and it's beautiful in Spain. That's where there was a bunch
of young people and I remember this kid from Belgium walking up to me and
goes, hey, are the houses as big as they are in the movies
in America. I remember being like, wow, that's kind of you don't
see how America is perceived around them. And if you look, if you've
been to London and stuff that it's it's it's tighter quarters, right, tighter
quarters than they do well. And that's the thing too. When we had
Sam's friend he made friends with the exchange oh yeah, yeah from Valencia,
yep. And he was talking about the beach and everything, and he was
just shocked at everything and how everything's so spread out and big here. Yeah.
And when we took them to Niagara Falls and how it was just there.
Yeah, it's a it's a it's a different I don't know, because
these cities are old. Oh the tight quarters. I mean even if you
look at like, you know, I want to go check out Cyper someday,
yeah, like the island and all. But when I see pictures of
that, it's very much a European you know that, that European influence.
It's all stone. So you can't you can't expand the road, no,
there's nowhere for it to go. I will say Madrid was much more affordable
than Rome or Paris or Berlin. It was even more affordable than Berlin,
although Berlin was more affordable than than Paris or Rome or Monaco or large and
very popular. Yeah, and again I'm a big Paris man. I really
enjoyed it. But Madrid was great. There's three of us. The meals
are smaller, the food, the portion size is is appropriate, right,
It's not like American huge. Yes, but we got We looked at the
menu. It was a steak for nineteen dollars nineteen yuro and I was like,
oh my god, this place must suck. Food was good. The
beef there's a little little tougher. It's not as tender a lot of sauce
as I think the soft them. The meet up, the wins out the
wines of Spain Auspa nice wines. They were fantastic. So we had a
great time. I don't think there I knew anything about the wines, but
I've had Spanish wines. Yeah, it was great. It was really into
wine. It's very good. So you've done Berlin, You've done Paris,
Rome. What's next to Amsterdam? Well, I don't know. Money,
Yeah, that's an interesting one. Moscow, that's an interesting one. Yeah,
Well you know right now, I don't know about that. Yeah,
I mean we did Doublin. Uh you've got them, you know as well
check off Amsterdam. Yeah, well Luke's eighteen. So we went wait,
wait a little bit for that. You know. Actually we were talking as
we were, you know, as we do the trips. I was like,
say, where do you want to go next? And I think I
think we're gonna stay domestic and go out to like Colorado, Arizona and do
like the red the red sand, the red sculptures, because I mean it's
I mean, it's it's reminiscent. I've been told it's reminiscent of Israel and
in the deserts there, but it's here's domestically, yeah, I have.
So it's like, if you like, that'd be super cool. I mean,
it's domestic. It's nice. Uh. Portugal was really interesting, you
know, and then I was like, okay, what would Portugal do?
What's what's Portugal's thing? And we should experience again Portugal. You know,
they they helped launch a lot of the explorers to the West, but they
have Brazil, are responsible for Brazil. Basically they have a very they have
a very thin piece of land, beautiful beautiful coastline yea. And we went
to visit this uh, this castle that the king and queen built during the
during the the when all the plague was going on to get out of the
city. It's absolutely stunning beautiful. This the ocean, and we get up
it's raining and you can't see twenty feet in front of it. We get
up there and we had a great tour guy. Again you to super personal.
You can't see ship. And so we then go down and then there's
this sight seeing trap where it's the point. It's the it's the furthest piece
of land west of the European continent. So we go down. It's like
a half an hour driver there. The driver's telling us all kinds of stories,
which was a lot of fun. We get there, we go to
the point. You can't see the water. It's so foggy. Wow,
couldn't see the water. It was absolutely hilarious. Now we he then he
then showed us pictures of like what it was like three days earlier. He
was like, oh, it's what it looked like the other day. But
then so then he takes us to lunch uh just north of Lisbon and Uh
we go out and we and they've got great seafood Portugal's got tremendous seafood and
so and Luke orders lunch and he orders a beer. Well, it comes
out in a glass that's probably six that's the beer. That's the beer.
And I said to him, and I was like, I was drinking wine.
And I said him, I go, look, they're suving you a
young man like you with a shot of beer. And our tour guy goes,
yeah, it takes. It has a bit of a punch to it.
So Luke drinks it during the appetizer and the waitress comes back around.
She's like, would you like something to drink. He's like, all another
one, and I go yeah, he wants the big one, and she
goes seriously, well, you know, she looks, She's like really,
and he's like yeah. The tour guy goes, hey, he goes,
somebody's gonna be taking a nap this afternoon. And I'm thinking what. He
goes that beer is like five times stronger than American beer. Oh man.
He got a quarter the way down and he was perma smile, perma smile.
It was great. We get in the we finished. He finishes it
right because we had a long lunch. It's a European lunch. He finishes
it. We're driving back to the hotel. Guess who's napping in the back
of the car. Yeah, Luke was sound asleep. That's great. I
was gonna guess Creg And that's funny. I always wanted to take the boys
out west because I loved the Grand Tetons and Jackson Hole, Yellowstone National Park.
You get down into Utahn Mount Zion, it's absolutely gorgeous. Actually,
I'm right now in the middle of I have no idea where things stand.
Jamison wants to come live with me, so that's a it's a it's a
big it's a big transition, and I'm I today we I had some serious
conversations and he calls me and goes, so have you talked to my mom?
And I said, I did, But I'm you know, you have
been in a non traditional school setting, like a Renaissance setting, where a
lot of it's online so you get to do it at your own pace.
Like that's not going to be the case. You can here with me.
And I said, and if you come here, I want you here for
four years, start to finish high school. Right, We're not you know,
no moving around back and forth, Yeah, did you just have just
have the talk, guys, it's your rules. I haven't had that talk
yet. But then I he hasn't figured out the rules. I haven't figured
out the rules. You need your help. You know, we helped out
rules Jamison's rules. Well, we had a great time where he was.
He was here for you know, fourteen days or so, and then after
he left, I got I was so sick. I didn't I laid on
the couch for like Thursday right through Sunday. You and Biden had coached I
could, So I went to the doctor. I got tested for everything,
and there was nothing. I gave him back, just a nasty virus.
And I'm trying to shake it still, and I'm like God, but uh
yeah. So he's really pushing to come here. He wants to play basketball,
he wants to be on the team, and I'm I was just that
That's my big worry is that it's going to be one of these things.
It's like, what, what's motivating this? Because when you get here,
he would be going into his freshman year. Ye all right, So I
said, now, it's a great time, and I'm certainly open to it,
but this can't be and I go, and I don't think your mom's
going to stay where she is. I saw that is over. It's not
like going back and I got my friends and hey didn't work out in New
York that there's none of that. Yeah, it's either we're all in or
or we're not doing it. Hey, it's it's like when the Spanish came
over to America. When they came, they burned all their ships. Because
you're in. It's right, because you're going back going back. Captain said,
we're done. We're here, ruby's going back and there's no mutinies there.
You're you're in. So I was just trying to navigate, you know,
all that. He seems very I'm serious. I'm in. I'm in
and I go. I said, well, there's all these other things that
I noticed and I see and I don't like, and I don't want them
happening here. If it's all of a sudden, Well, I felt like
that teacher didn't. I don't want to hear any of that stuff. No,
no, no, I was when I was in seventh grade and I
didn't like school. I'm good now, I'm good. So yeah, it's
one thing, you know, one of the things I really enjoy about taking
the trips with the boys is that one it gets them out of the time
zone of their friends because it's all phones. Man, it's just constantly phone.
So we're six hours ahead there. And so at six o'clock in the
morning, which none of their friends are awake. At six o'clock in the
morning, it's noon, so their kids are their friends are getting up between
eight nine o'clock here in the East Coast, which means it is two or
three. So I get all that time from eight nine o'clock in the morning's
till two or three in the afternoon. We're they got they got me,
and we're together and and so but you know, we don't I don't know
if we our generation because of the kids today are so buried in their phones.
Give them enough credit to have like real conversations with them, like hard,
real, like honest conversations. And one of the things somebody goes,
what was the best time, What was the best part of your trip?
Best part of my trip was dinner. Yeah, because we need dinner,
and we had adult conversations. I mean, we were talking about politics,
we were talking about their their career path, you know, loose going to
college in two weeks, which is killing me, you know, And but
they were real adult conversations. Now, the crazy thing is is Luke was
having a beer next to me legally, yes, right, legally, but
it was you know, it was really fun and rewarding to listen to their
opinions. Dad, I've been a man for two days now. I think
that's amazing and I think it does enhance the adult conversation. It's to have
that freedom to have the alcohol, right, you feel a little more adult.
And you know, he didn't, he didn't. You know. One
of the things I tried to teach the boys is that just because you ordered
the drink doesn't need to finish it. No, right, But you know,
I mean we grew up in the generation where our parents were like,
there are people starving and wherever you gotta finish everything, and you know it's
China. Yeah, they're always starting in China, Bangladesh. So I created
a little tradition with the boys over over there is now because Luke was old
enough, it was like whatever we wrapped up, we went back to the
hotown. We had a nightcap. Okay, we always had a nightcap.
Yeah, because that's where the stories start to flow. Oh yeah, not
going to don't go to bed because you are tired, you know, go
have a little nightcap, talk about the day, you know, just and
then tap in. I would always say, so, what's going on in
your life? What's going on in your life? Oh? Nothing? Nothing?
Yeah, really of course nothing. Okay, have another Here's the worst
part is your father cross examined people for a living. You know what I
mean. It almost feels unfair at some point, like you're not gonna win
this. You might I'll just throw your hands up because you're gonna crack under
pressure. But you know, you know, I think kids want to be
honest, they want to share these things. It's just a matter of making
them feel safe that they're not going to get in trouble, not going to
be judged in in that it's okay. I mean, they know they know
about a lot of my failures. There's stories all the time from everybody about
this. Yeah, my fuck utsak, How don't want to get you in
trouble again? Oh yeah, no, no, we definitely don't want to
do that. Camp starts Friday tomorrow. Oh tomorrow, wait tomorrow, Wednesday,
tomorrow. Oh man, look at this the on of the reason I
was a little bit late. There was, you know, a lot of
iron through to get pared for can tomorrow mark eight forty five? Man,
Yeah, Sean mcdermots is eight forty five, which means better be there at
eight thirty because he starts at fifteen minutes before practice startlin didn't work for us,
dude, I set my alarm for five forty five. Actually, or
actually I set it for five thirty to be here at five forty five.
It just didn't work. Hemott tomorrow. Wow, Actually I will probably.
It's hard. You got to get in there. You get a park,
you gotta walk down there. He doesn't walk until the cookies are done.

Day the other day and I was trying to think of women over sixty that
are still really hot, and you've got like, I think Marisa Tobay is
sixty. I think I think so. Yeah, Stones like sixty. Diant
Lane was always one of my favorites. Yeah, back in the day,
because she was one of my favorites, Sharon Sharon Stone. And I think
she's gonna be in a new movie, isn't Demi Moore Demie? Yes,
she is sixty. Yeah. I saw a thing. I saw something.
I think it was on social media. It was cher is seventy seven and
has a thirty five year old boyfriend. And then there was one other and
then it was somebody was like sixty, who was it? Woman that has
woman that has a younger boyfriend? Is it Madonna? Oh yeah, it's
Madonna's what ay eight year old or twenty seven year old? At that point,
if you're the twenty eight year old, like I would think I would
even scratch my head with share, right, but Share, There's got to
be something cool. I mean, she she was with Greg Almond good.
Granted there was Sonning, but she was with Greg Almond for a while.
He was a cool guy. And then you look at all the other stuff,
and she staying power just seems to be kind of this cool chick,
a great She's won an Academy award. I mean, the woman's like super
talented. Then you look at but when I look at Madonna, I go,
you turned into a cartoon character. The plastic surgery is terrible. Not
that Share hasn't had it, but it looks really bad with Madonna. Yeah,
it's yeah, it's not It's not what you would want or hope,
but no, I mean the thing about Share for me is I heard one
of the boys go on a trip some day it's I will not pay for
their airfare. Hitters on this over sixty list on the over sixty list,
Jennifer Gray, oh yeah, okay, Angela Bassett yep, Julie Luis Dreyfuss,
Yeah, Sharon's stoneh Holly Hunter, it makes sense, Raseyman, Lisa
Kudrow. I didn't realize she was that old. Yeah, Joan Cusack,
Helen Hunt, Gina Gershaan. I just saw Hell Williams and I love that.
If you have HBO Max Hacks, I absolutely love the show Hacks.
I haven't seen that. Oh, it's fantastic. It's about basically I think
it's based on Joan Rivers life. I don't know, I really, I'm
always saying that because it's the first woman she had a talk show. They
took it away from her. Yeah, she's now a Vegas act but she's
aging and she's one of these like shock comic type, you know, and
she winds up. She also has a QVC line. She lives in a
mansion. It's very rich. It's all the stuff that Joe Jon had QVC
jone had that Joan said, these outrageous things, multiple plastic surgeries, probably,
I mean, and that's how she died, yes, you know,
going under it. But it's a great show. And then she hires somebody
to be a writer for and she's very mean and somewhat abusive as a personality.
I don't know if that's the case with Joan. I don't know much
about her personally. But then the uh they go on the road and she
reinvents herself. It's really I love it. You wind up rooting for her
and it's God, I forget the woman who plays the comic, but she
was on Designing Women years ago. It's the blonde woman for that show.
She's just it was just fantastic. I loved it. I loved it.
If you're looking for something to just that kind of it has it's it had
some really funny moments, and of course and it had some real drama.
I would call it drama. Ye one of anything I saw you looking at?
Are you looking it up, Kevin? Because I couldn't. Yeah?
Uh? Wean smartly, Dean smart That's right. The only drama I'm looking
for is what are the Jets? What's gonna happen to the Jets this preseason?
That's the drama. And the Dolphin. I can't believe the Dolphins are
letting to a hangout there there. They sign them? No for they?
I thought I had heard fifty five million when that's the offer. I don't
know if they signed it though, if he doesn't an idiot, I thought
fifty five million a year? Yeah, oh when did that pop up?
Yes? Thurday is I didn't heard about it. I didn't see it.
I've been I haven't seen it, and I was on NFL network today.
I didn't. I didn't see or hear anything about that. But uh,
I mean, if they signed them for that guy, bless them. They're
gonna have to make other decisions, but uh, it'll be It's interesting.
I mean, well they have Tarik Hill is uh. I mean if you
can get it. Have you watched receivers? No, ok, you got
to watch the receivers on that a Netflix. It's the same thing they do
with quarterbacks. Yeah, yeah, but they're doing it with the receiver.
I think you would really last year that they it was throughout. You got
to see that. I didn't know that was out. Yeah, it's out.
It's I've watched six episodes while I was laying on the couch and it
is. I loved it. I think I liked it more than the quarterbacks.
Really. Yeah, I don't know why the quarterbacks kind of stalled out
after the third up. Okay, I thought the same thing still, like,
okay, this is not going on for me. The last episode,
I didn't even make it through to the end. I can't stand Patrick Mahomes
and Patrick Mahomes I could stand. Well, here's the thing I've heard.
I've heard NFL vets say that like Mahomes and Kelsey are not the guys you
think they are. They're just incredibly talented, but they're not great leaders.
They're just other. They're just they're just you know, regular guys who are
just fantastic ball players. I mean, if you look, if you when
you watch quarterbacks, I don't necessarily I don't come away from that thinking that
Mahomes is a great leader. I come away from his thinking that he's a
hell of a quarterback, yes, which is not I mean, you can
be a great quarterback, but not necessarily be a great leader. Aaron Rodgers,
Yeah, perfect example. Yeah, great quarterback, horrible leader. For
me, you gotta watch the last episode of Quarterbacks then that with Mahomes for
the Super Bowl was I was like, fuck, man, that's what the
Bills you got to get Josh and the receivers. And he's got a whole
new receiver corps this year, which is why training camp and Fisher this year
is going to be absolutely freaking amazing. I'm so excited, so pumped for
it. It's kind of what Mahomes had last year, you know, in
a sense. I mean he had guys who were there for a little while,
but they weren't like studs. Yeah. I mean the biggest difference I
think is that is that Mahomes had his guy. He had the guy he
had Kelsey. I mean anything, you need to go to Kelsey and Kelsey
can ball you out. Now all of a sudden, they then put the
pieces, They put a group of people together that could have fit, and
then Andy Reid just just molded it where they did mash and fit right enough
to scrape through the season. And they did scrape through in terms of Kansas
City style and reminded me a little bit greg of stuff that would go on
in New England. Yeah, where they didn't have name guys. Yeah,
of course, what was the one name receiver, Randy Moss. Yeah,
outside of that, and then the gronk became kind of your your bail out,
your your blanket if he needed it, and then these other guys became
stuff over time. So look at look at the key to what mahomes great
talent, Brady great talent. The one thing is that they both had a
dynamic go to guy, yes inside of ten yards and a guy that they
had some connection with. You've got to watch this receivers because DeVante Adams is
one of the guys they focus on. And you see how inaccurate Jimmy Garoppolo
is. And when I say inaccurate, I mean you know, if it
were a high school kid, you'd be like, man, you put it,
you put it right there, Hey, receiver, you got to get
it. I mean he's it's like just four feet out off the target where
you go. Wow, that accuracy, that pinpoint accuracy is amazing to watch.
But the one that I fell in love with on that show is the
uh I'm Brown. Yeah, and Ross Saint Brown. His dad was the
Mister World for three years. His brother last season played for Chicago. This
season, I think it's going to play for New Orleans. But the whole
story and just just I mean, this kid is playing with hoof and mouth
disease. Get his babies. It's that ration. Yeah, covers up.
He's out there running, the blisters are popping. He's in so much pain
and he I think he had four or five catches that day. I don't
think that kid ever dropped the ball. Holy count, I think you ever
missed a pass. It's a really great It's a great series. The whole
I used to love to listen to Jim Kelly and Andre Reid talk about does
the quarterback make the receiver? Does the receiver make the quarterback. I'll tell
you, I think the receiver makes the court, I think the quarterback makes
the receiver. Yes, Jim watching especially Davonte Jim said that Andrea all the
time, if I was in your quarterback, you would never played in the
NFL. Who knows he wasn't a third round pick out of Cutchtown State.
You know you don't. Who's the last player to ever come out of Cutchdown
State? And Jim. Jim's point was, and after listening to this debate
numerous years in a row, and actually rings true is that if you can't
put the ball in an area where somebody can catch it, it doesn't matter
how good you are at catching the ball. If it's not there, you
can't even have an attempt to catch it. One thing that Brady does well,
one of the things that Mahomes does well is they put it in arrors
for people to catch the ball. What Bean has done this offseason, to
me is absolutely phenomenal is that they identified through their analytics. One of the
things that Josh Allen has done is Josh Allen puts a ball, tries to
fit it into a space that is so tight that it's always a contested catch
or he has one of the highest contested catch throws of anybody in the NFL.
Now, there are certain receivers that actually catch those balls better than others.
More physical, stronger hands, all these other things. So when they
went through in the offseason in terms of free agency and in the draft,
they tried to find guys that had that skill set. You know, you
throw the ball and any only one person can catch it, then you catch
then that guy makes the catch. That's great. But how about when you
throw the ball and three people can catch it. Who catches the ball?
And Bean went through with him and his scouting staff and they did a great
job of settling a group, a core group of receivers that have that skill
set because that's what Josh does, and he does it for a couple of
reason. One is the line when he tries to force the ball at times
in terms of some of the reads. But uh, it's gonna be so
much fun. It's gonna be so exciting to watch that evolve over these next
two to three weeks in terms of how do they begin to mash, how
do they mold together? It's uh, it's uh, it's it's this time
of year. It's it's like it's like leading into Christmas. Christmas Eve,
but it's leading into Christmas. Somebody wrote ten bills questions for camp and I
love this because it was it was Danny and he sent them to me,
and some of these I could he he puts a little commentary underneath. I
love it. Oh no, it's fantastic for the Times. One he counts
for two weeks ago. Wait, these ten questions? I wrote that,
yeah, the count Okay, okay, yeah, because I thought I essentially
a bunch of stuff that I had written leading into the age. So I
see this and I thought, is Danny sending me his old He's like a
frustrated reporter. Now this is published. Am I right? Kevin? Am
I right? I said to Kevin, I go, I don't know what
to do with this because I'm reading it. I publish They were published two
weeks ago. Well, I haven't seen the time. Sorry. Who will
Josh Allen? Is he right here? Who will Josh Allen target the most
aside from Dalton Kincaid, his buddy Dawson Notch or Khalil Shakir, Well,
here's plenty of unknowns from from which to choose. Kean Kleman needs to be
that guy, however, or the media will start chirping, and the fan
sites who believe they actually are media that made me laugh out loud will be
on highler. They'll be there. They are already the time that went down.
What isn't that what we will? That's fine, that's that's fine,
that's fine. You just just admit you're a fan site. Oh, these
guys can't they can't do it. They can can't do it, mister media
over here, I published, I get paid, they get do they get
press credentials? No, they don't know the bills, won't credential. They've
tried, they've been told cease and desist. And by the way, they
do a hell of a job covering the team too. They just can't get
access, some of these fans. But these guys like they treat film like
it's gospel, and unless you know the play that's called, you really can't
say that. Yeah, that's that's the only thing you have to believe it
with. But that's okay. My favorite thing is that there's a guy who
invests so much time into something just for the pleasure of it, but he
ignores his wife, his kids. Well, that's the other thing. I
don't know how these guys do out that. But but what the ask him
calling the other part is like you I love when I love watching you get
man at them because there I just think it's fun. The whole thing is
sure to watch it all. There's entertainment with tweet. There is entertainment within
entertainment. There is absolutely this is the drama within the drama to me.
To me, Coleman's gonna be the guy that everybody's watching a camp over anybody
else. I mean, they'll be watching Alan, but they're not worried about
Alan. They'll be watching von Miller. They're a little worried about him.
But Coleman's the guy that they're gonna watch. The key's going to be is
what's Claypool going to do? Yeah? How is he? Is he actually
gonna rebound? That's one of the questions. He the guy's gonna do that?
How how about Marquees? Right, Liz? Is he going to be
a release? Felw? What is he going to be? Is he is
he going to actually step up and perform at a level where above where he
has been? I mean, these are the things. So when I think
of what Bean has done, is he's taken all these guys and he's assembled
them now. The names that we knew last year and two years ago,
they're gone. Yes, you know, Gabe Davis is gone. Get him
out of your head. He's not there anymore. Yes for you and your
god. Gabe was great in that Kansas City thirteen second game. He was
He was amazing. I really thought that was something that was unbelievable. Did
we not was the pinnacle of his career? Did they? Now? Didn't
they do a whole special like on the Bills YouTube page or something on his
workout routine and all that. I thought he got a lot of attention because
of the thirteen second game he did, and and uh, unfortunately he didn't
have the same consistency and perform and make some of the catches or create space
for Josh to actually throw the ball where it wasn't a contested catch. And
that's he makes these most amazing catches the sidelines, but he couldn't handle five
yard out where we at a game where we were watching TV where we saw
guys say bye bye Gabe and he's trying to He's like, flip, it's
a Denver night. It was a Denver it was the Monday night games.
The Monday night came and he was like so pissed. Yeah, he's yelling
back at it in front of the Scott van Pelt. Ye yeah, see
a game done, You're done, you suck out of here game. Yeah
that was just Craig at training camp last year. Yeah, it's I mean,
I'm Dalton kin Kid's coming in in his second year. I mean,
the the NFL Insiders tag him as one of the top ten tight ends in
the league. Great and as a second year player with what he has,
what he showed last year and his skill set, Uh, I'm excited to
see what he can do. I mean, Dawson knock is maybe a top
thirty tight end maybe and maybe, and Dawson helped helped out, you know,
Josh quite a bit. So you get a guy talented like like Dalton.
Dalton could be like that new young Kelsey. Yes he could, he
could. He doesn't quite have the speed that Kelsey had, but his hands
are unfreaking believable. He's got a great sense of finding space. He creates
great separation for a tight end. His skill set is phenomenal. And the
other thing about Dalton Kincaid is that as a person and as as like a
story. He's got a great freaking story. He comes out of Vegas,
you know, essentially unrecruited, like Josh. Yeah, he goes to San
Diego State. San Diego State's like a nothing d one school, and he
he he does well, creates opportunity for himself, and then he ends up
going to Utah, Utah. Yeah. Why did he go to Utah?
Why because the coach he had at San Diego State went to Utah and said,
you're gonna be my eat your guy. He goes up there and then
created the opportunity he has now going to the NFL. By the way,
Delton is the reason I make fun of like the hobbyist media, which by
the way, I do enjoy. They're great, the hobbyist media, but
like nobody like so leaning up to the draft, all these guys are we
are telling everybody where we call, we get some of these people on every
week. We call it like hobby week. Yeah, hobby corner. I
was thinking, hobby corner. Hobby. They'd be offended. Why would they
be offended because they think that they're pros know that we're calling it hobby lobby.
Okay, we just don't tell them. But we get them. I
mean some of them fantastic. Hashtag is fantastic, Cover one is fantastic.
They're great. But the one thing that like a lot of these draft knicks
right got into before DALTONKK got drafted. They're all making all these picks of
who the Bills are going to take, right, and nobody got daltonkad right
the next morning on the flagship station, you would have made it. You
would have thought that they had daltonk is what we thought. Yeah, we
had it the whole time. And uh, here's where's what we think of
Delta Caca. Dalton Cocaine has already had the greatest single season in Buffalo Bill's
history for a tight end. Yeah, he's already was there reading leading receiver
in ninety three and he already surpassed those numbers. Did he really looked it
up? Ye? Looked it up, all right. So that's a professional
right there. That is That's why, that's why the Times Wayne County snagged
him on that's what happens. You got it either, talk to me about
he started bringing up He meant Danny mentioned von Miller. We haven't heard high
what was my mother? You say, hide nor hair? But there was
nothing that has really been said. We haven't heard from him. He hasn't
came out and said he shouldn't have played last year, but there hasn't been
a lot of I don't think he's been doing his podcast. So now that
thing with his baby mama didn't help exactly. But is there what are we
hearing or are you hearing anything with von Miller? So on Sunday, I
was uh had was fortunate to play some golf for at the club and was
able to talk a couple to get people and uh Vaughn views this season as
the defining season for his career. This season thirty five years old, right
this season and the reason why he defines the reason why he said is defining
is that he's already accomplished everything he's wanted to is in his career and everything
that could get him into the Hall of Fame. He's won two Super Bowls,
he's two different teams, he's got longevity, he's he's near the top
in terms of sacks, and he's regarded as one of the best edge rushers
in NFL history. But he came back from an injury. He came back
from a season engine injury last two years ago last year and didn't perform,
and so this is the year for him to then to the gate and to
to to stifle all the nasayers. And so he committed himself after the game,
after the after they lost against Kansas City last year, he committed himself
to do everything in his to be ready to come into this season, to
be ready. What is a guy? Because I'm thinking back to Receivers on
Netflix and when you do watch it, because you will now, especially after
I tell you about amen Ra and what he does. He has a handwritten
list of the fourteen receivers taken before in the draft. He reads it before
every practice, he reads it before every game. He probably reads it every
night before he goes to bed. That is motivating that guy, and he's
unbelievable. It even has the thing because his dad was a mister World Professional
champion, two time amateur. What's the mister Universe but the amateur, not
the professional. But he says, at one point when he was in Pop
Warner, somewhere between Pop Warner and high school. He wasn't at the high
school level yet there was some kid they played against that was fantastic and the
kid was not dropping a ball, and he goes, that kid's got great
hands. So his father, John Brown, went over and asked this father,
what do you do? He said, we have a judge machine put
the balls in two hundred catches. He goes, so we're going to do
two hundred and two every day. But you watch this kid, he doesn't
drop it. So a von Miller, who's thirty five and you just said,
accomplished everything he set out to accomplish, won two super Bowls with two
different teams. What motivates him to comeback like this? Oh, it's a
competition, man, Yeah, twin, it's you know, and being a
fifty plus year old man right now, it's like, you know what gets
me up in the morning, it's it's the competition. It's it's trying to
be better today than I was yesterday. He actually has a specific measure that
he has to accomplish that he knows he's done what it takes to reach the
pinnacle of success in his career, yes, and his profession. He knows
what it takes. Yes, So he's been there. But we always say
the guy that got paid and I'm saying that's the case with von Miller.
But we hear that, right, but the guy Bill playing for the contract
that justin jeffries before is he jeff Effer Jefferson, excuse me, You've got
your own business. Now. You know what the difference is. It's discipline.
It's discipline every day. He writes down all the podcast that that well,
you know, I don't I know what you're saying. It's the Kobe,
It's the Kobe Bryant mentality, right, just writes for matar Rustling podcast,
Kobe Bryant. Yeah, you know, I mean, and if you
really want to be the best and you have to overcome certain challenges because you've
hitting a plateau, it's doing with Kobe Bryant. And he was intense.
Yeah, but but that's the difference. Kobe is like, boy, I
love watching the Redeemed Team. I haven't finished that. And the reason I
love it is Kobe was coming off a really ugly time in Kobe's life.
He was not well liked. Oh yeah, that whole accusation thing in Denver,
right, he brought accusation. Well, I don't, but I went
to try settlement. I didn't. I did go to did it shut?
I don't remember what happened And went to court. It was when I thought
he was not guilty. I believe it was resolved outside of court. Okay,
okay, I thought there was a not guilty, but I and then
all I remember was it was I think it was again, this is this
is, this is going back several years. I think there was an accusation
of rape, and I believe that they were. They did not prove that
there was rape, right he had he had a woman lawyer who like really
like lit this chick apart. Yeah, incited. There was other civil resolutions
to it, which obviously there was some acknowledgment of the impropriety of being married
and having this type of relationship, which was for Kobe was horrific because he
was lily lily clean. He was supposed to be. He was supposed to
be the next Jordan. So the case was dropped. He was He ended
up being wouldn't testify. Ex said if she would have testified, he would
have been found guilty. And then the civil suit outside of court was settled.
That had to be hard for her to watch then, because boy talk
about forgiveness. Right. Wait a second, though, it all depends on
how many zeros there are. Wow, who knows exactly. But on the
other side, like he went on, I think it was the Redeemed team
like cracked him. Cracked him in terms of being a little bit more personal,
a better teammate, a better this because he had been to take away
the accusation what we just talked about. He was accused of running shack out
of LA. I think it was good Till Jackson getting the first time all
these different things. So he was not a well like guy and yet came
back. And it was that discipline because then the Redeemed team, they're all
coming in from partying and he's going to the gym at five or five o'ck.
He was done. He was like done and they're like yeah. I
think it was that point in his career. And I haven't watched that yet,
but I think it was that point in his career where people actually began
to respect him because he had been through so much and accomplished so much.
Yeah, and then they began to realize what he's doing in order to be
that good consistently. Yeah. Right, and that's you know, it's like
for the Bills right now, Okay, you have EPINESSA and you have uh,
you have Rousseau at the endge right, both of these guys in the
and they're five years that the Bills have proven they're good. But the question
is they got to put it together day in and day out five years already.
Yeah, he finally came into his own last year. Well, he
he did well, but he wasn't consistent. Yeah, didn't step up at
the game he needed to step up. This way, there's always Yeah,
the last game of the season is always the game where Russo and Epinessa are
like m I A. Right, And that's where Vaughn would always shine.
Yeah, he would show on, would show up before he got hurt.
He'd show up. And so what what what Vaughn has to do is show
up in those occasions along with these other guys, or Vaughan or these other
guys show up because of Vaughn had performed at such a level that they then
have to double him, which leads these guys and that the whole key to
the success for the Bills right now, And mark my words, the success
of this team is not based on the offense. It's based on what does
that front four do. If that front four can show up and get consistency
and their linebackers stay healthy as well as the linebackers can in the NFL,
this team is going to go far if they don't. If they don't show
up. If Russeau is spotty good, if Epanessa's spotty good, and von
Miller is what he was last year, this team is going to be barely
above five hundred. Wow. That's one of the articles I sent you the
closer. Who's how are the Bills going to close pieces? Yeah? I
did, I did, because I'll tell you you know, with the absence
of the safeties, the secondary, the corners are actually got some good season.
They've got some good experience. They've got strong corners. Their safeties are
new Southah they are. And so the as a you joke, there,
here we go, Here we go here it is as a former defensive back,
take a trek, everybody, here we go. All I can tell
you is I was always better when my defensive line was good. Sure,
when they're good, I was a lot better. Well, you get to
see the play develop a little bit. Well, the quarterback make a cush
he's got a quick decision. I'll make a mistake faster. So and then
after every game, if you watch the tape of the Alfred News, Greg
thanking his front seven after every game for what is it looks going to it
looks gonna play football? Your son? He is, he's going down mechanical
engineering to Alford University and he's going to play. He's either right now.
He got on slotting at the as an ed rusher, is an outside linebacker.
I think maybe strong safety as well. He can he can drop into
covers a little bit. But they're going to take two out of the rafters
for him. Is he going to start or is he going to like,
you know, start slowing. No, he's yeah, he's his father.
He's got a you know, and in the the difference between high school and
college is physicality, right, and Luke is a lean kid. He needs
to gain probably ten or fifteen pounds to compete at that level, and he's
working at it right now. But he's young. You he's eighteen, and
he's he's like a good drinking yeah. And you know, he says to
me the funniest shit he comes to me after he comes to me after our
trip and he goes, Dad, guess so much weight I gain him?
We were on vacation. I don't know a couple of pounds. He goes
eight. Yeah, like there you go. He goes. I think it's
the beer I turned into protein. That'll be Yeah, it's not the right
weight. All right, we'll take the moment. We'll get a little more
training camp. Of course, the Olympics start at the Olympics. I saw
this earlier too, and I think you sent it to me as well.

The bulls a fall. They didn't let just stand any bad in that
club. Chok, every ou hot, sweating blood, get to wear those
games. They chersey is down the hall, the Kings of the school Man,
where the bulls a fall, boys a fall. Danny Friday Night's a
big deal in Silver Creek. No, we weren't that good. Well one
year, yeah, one year there was but I mean it it was hard
because it was so few and far between the opportunities. But when we had
a good team, yeah it was a big deal. But for the most
part now, I mean, people go to the games because there was nothing
to do, but there wasn't much to expect. In fact, a funny
story, after I graduated from high school, my senior class was dubbed the
dumbest class in the history of the school. Let me tell you what we
had, and we had twenty that the principal, we had twenty five.
All the teachers, we had one hundred and twenty five kids in kindergarten.
We were down to fifty seven at graduation. All those kids had graduated the
year after. So those kids end up playing football when they're nineteen years old.
They're supposed to be college freshman. So of course the team was good
that year because all those kids were supposed to be in college where they wouldn't
have played it down And they go and they almost get to almost get to
rich Stadium. They end up getting beat by Eden at Eden in the playoff
game. They're like, yeah, this is so sad, Like you had
an extra year to play. I don't want to hear so sad you got
to play. You have to play high school football at night. That's hilarious.
Guys my age. I'm like, you're supposed to be in college.
I was in college. I passed my school. All right, Well they
I did good. Well if they help the kids back sometimes boys mature,
I don't know, something like that, the full grown men. The uh
yeah, that is weird when you have that. Yeah, we had all
We had that in my school to the kids that were left back repeatedly.
Yeah, you're saying school to your twenty one. Yeah, yeah, really,
Yeah, I'm pretty sure in New York State you can stay in I
don't know you can anymore because I don't think they have that no kid left
behind you, you can't fail anymore, fail forward. I think I think
some of it might be for kids with disabilities, and then that way they
can stay in the school to your twenty one before they have to transition you
to some alternative learning center or job or something like that. So I'm pretty
sure that twenty one. I think you're right. I think again my brother
who was yeah, yeah, yeah, I think those are the things.
But I think I know there were kids in Pine Planes that we were there
till they were almost twenty one. I got we buy your own boos at
your graduation. We had we had a guy, yes, you had him
at the prog. That was a joke he had with Buddy alf. Yeah
he was. He was not an exchange. He moved here not knowing the
language, right, so he was much older than all of us. We
always busted his ballsy but your own alcoholic graduation party because you're like thirty seven.
Oh yeah, we graduated with a kid who actually was three years older
than us, and he had a beer truck at his twenty first birthday and
he hadn't graduated from high school yet. Not joking, a true story.
Okay, that's it. Welcome to America, America, America. He had
a steady ovation when he got his diploma too. From the from the audience
graduation. Heck yeah, is the administration is saying finally he's gone. Yeah.
I haven't been able to prove this. I'm actually looking forward for the
first time I think in decades, to seeing the Olympics, the Summer Olympics,
and one of the reasons is there's a couple of athletes from our area
that's there. But there's one young woman that was a duke on a pole
vaulting sky. She was on a track and field scotch. She was on,
wasn't she Roberts wesleyan story, Sorry, that's okay. So she didn't
read the notes she transferred. She so she went from Division one to Division
two. And if you want to talk about just what coaching is now,
just because someone was great at is, it doesn't make them a great coach.
I always wondered, would Michael Jordan be as good of a basketball coach
as Larry Bird was. Larry Bird was really a great NBA coach. And
Jen Shure, who had set all kinds of world records for an Olympic goal
right, and went to Roberts wesleyan competed, came back this this young lady,
I don't remember her name, transferred from duke to Roberts Wesley and a
step down in division. And you know, like I have my son Jordan,
it's going to be going to Saint Louis, first last year of eligibility
in track and field Division one. He's blown away by their facilities, blown
away. He goes, oh, I god, it's not even close to
what we had at Roberts Wesleyan. So I would think for this girl was
almost like culture shock, right. I would assume Duke's got the best of
everything, and she I remember being in the gym at Nasareth College and they
come over to the PA that she set not an NC double a Division two
record, but an NC double A record that year for height for just this
past winter. Yeah, and so it's whatever that edge in coaching is.
And we talk about this even, you know, with with football and stuff,
and I believe she's on the team, she's in the USA. I
believe. Yeah, So I go, that makes me want to watch I
really do want to watch this, and I want to try to see if
we can interview her after the games and see how it all went. But
I go, you know, when we look at that coaching, it's just
that edge sometimes somebody just you know, because you were at Duke, where
I would assume they're not slouches. I would have think you got pretty good
coaches and stuff. But whatever, Gen sure did this. This young lady
is setting the world on fire. Well that's kind of like we get back
to von Miller for a second, is that Von knows what it takes to
win at that level in you know, being able to keep point, being
able to communicate that to somebody else to get them past where they're at,
because all of us will hit a plateau. Yes, if you're a competitive
in anything, you'll hit a plateau. Whether it's golf, whether it's bowling,
whether it's business, whatever it is, you will get there because that's
what your body knows, that's what your mind knows. Somebody needs to coach
you or take you to the next level, right who's been there, who
knows how to get there, who has seen to get there. And that's
what Gen sure has. I mean, I'm sure she has that for her,
and that's what von Miller hopefully is gonna provide for the freaking Bill's defense.
Is her husband or coach? Yeah, her husband was her coach,
but she's I mean he's not now. And Jen is a coach on the
Roberts Switzland track team. She's the polo coach. So that's why they This
girl left Duke to be under her tutelage. And Jesus, I think might
be the best decision in this kid made. I don't know, she's nineteen
or twenty years old. Yeah, in that short time on the planet.
This may be the best decisions. That wasn't the girl that Jordan yelled at,
right, Sorry, bring that back. I don't know that story.
I don't know it either, fully. I just know that Jordan was at
some track meet and he something was going and they weren't organizing it and they
had sent over like a freshman to handle it, and she wasn't doing something,
and Jordan goes, I don't know that he yelled as much as had
a raised voice. I'm always amazed voice. Yeah, right right, I'm
always amazed. I'm always I'm always I'm always amazed. And maybe this is
me and maybe it's where I came from. When someone says to me,
stop yelling, I go what, Yeah, I wasn't yelling. Yeah.
I go through the same thing with my wife. Okay, So I'm not
sure A bunch of definitely he so I don't know, but he was.
But he's also jacked, and he's got sleeveless shirts and I think, like
veins are popping and muscles and you look like the all right rage morana.
It's like, you know, here, he's gonna get off. So I
don't remember what happened, but something where they're like, you gotta you gotta
back off here, but you can't, can't be. But she was a
young girl and she felt threatened or something because he's like, come on,
if you can organize your goddamn you so hard. Well, hey, when
you people are, when you communicate with your passion, sometimes people misinterpret it.
Yes, they do, that's how. And when you're Irish and you're
passionate, you know, yeah, that's the way it works. Yes,
And when you're bigger than a lot of people, it also gets a little
intimidating. That's where you know, people don't want to speaking in Irish,
yelling Italian. Oh, let's not go down that path. We talked about
that. I know how is Uh, it's all good, man, it's
all good. That's all I see. It was the unspoken communication. He
knew, he knew. Uh. The Olympics, they've given all the athletes.
He's made out of cardboard. The frames are made out of cardboard.
So it sounds ridiculous. I don't get it. It's almost like, well,
I would think it's recycling. I think it's part of like what a
bunch of Amazon boxes. It looks like they just folded it up in a
certain way. And part of the thing was, I don't know if this
is true or not, if it's rumor, I haven't looked enough. Maybe
you'll know, Danny it was. Some people were saying it was done to
prevent athletes from having sex with one another in the village, and I went,
how do you do that. You've got people in the prime of their
life, who are in the best shape of their lives. They're never going
to look like they do in Paris again in their life. I mean,
they may look similar, they may stay in great shape, but baby,
this is the peak you have hit. This is the mount everest of your
life right here. And you're gonna tell me that, you know, all
of a sudden, Yeah, maybe you don't speak the language, but you
speak the language of love. And here comes you know, the Portuguese,
uh, Paul Vaulter and they I don't know, some balance beam work.
Who knows what I'm like, But they're made out of cardboard. So I
did see. I think it was an Irish swimmer and another a British diver
diver. Yeh, yeah, there's an Irish swimmer British diver that those two
never got along before. They didn't. I don't think they still don't.
But the uh, I saw the British guy. He doesn't do much.
The the Irish kid is doing handstands and flips and all this stuff and the
bed doesn't collapse. But people are saying that the beds will class. But
they're made out of cardboard and interest frames but thicker. You know, it's
all folded and you've got multiple Yeah, but that the frame is made out
of that? Please? Interesting? Yeah, women weaken legs. Would you
find a different way to do there's other ways to do it? Well,
that's the point they're trying to over. Well, the thing would be would
not would it not be all bragging? Would you not take the crust cardboard
home to go? I didn't win gold but bad and I win it.
It depends on who we were with, right, I mean you're with the
shop Twitter, Shop Shop. It's like yeah, like you go Bell.
The cardboard beds are part of the deal with the NBC to get the NASCAR
race from Rockings Gun to go into September, just to piss off Randy maybe
too, I don't know. Yeah, he's very upset about that. Did
they do that? You had to clean the rooms in Buffalo Buffalo Bills training.
Yeah, the first year that they were there, I cleaned their rooms.
I was on the coaches side, and half the hall was the coaches
and ward hall was the players. How much clean up? What's that?
How much seamen? Did you clean up? We had to take the sheets
and you know, put them. But I mean, like what they would
do is like you got Jim Kelly's d NA each head, I can crew
my own. Jim Kelly was Rob Johnson's. They had dog, they had
they had they each had two beds each each player. Yeah, so they
push them together. But these beds were like hard man, It's like it's
these are college beds. Yeah, yeah, you know, still from mattresses.
So they would just like stack them. These weren't probably because they were
sneaking women in the dorm. These are huge. Some of those guys did
sneak women in eric molds. Snuck in a couple of cooks that I went
to school with. They both got of like kicked off. I would guarantee
from working. I would guarantee if Sean McDermott doesn't none of that ship happens
in his dorm. Yea at the time, Yeah, Okay, I can
see that with Wade. I'm not gonna see it with Rex too. There's
not a chance in hell that ship's happened in Sean McDermott's dorm. I don't
think. I don't think on it that there was some at least one player
does. I don't think Greg Williams put up with it. I don't think
McDermott put up with someone. I don't think Marone would put up with it
someone. I don't remember what team it was, But didn't somebody get cut
a couple of years ago on on Hard Knocks for having somebody? Wasn't that
one of the players got for having sex in the room They snuck a chicken,
They found out about it, and they cut him. Sounds like the
don't I don't know. I know during the NBA, during the NBA bubble,
that was a big thing, sneaking women into the bubble when they had
the pandemic. Well there was one player, first of all, that's the
that was at that point in time, putting a bunch of men in one
area. And then come on, are you kidding me? Just so you
know, I was trying to break that bubble too. There was a player
years ago that they gave a camper too, and they let him stand the
camper out there, and then they got the company got the camper back.
Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. It was like rubbers everywhere. And the
thing is like, wouldn't you have a little self respect? Just put it
in the garbage? Yeah? Right, I just put it in the garbage.
But yeah, that was you know what I'm talking about. Yeah,
I know who you're talking about. Twenty sixteen Hard Knocks. Former Maryland wide
receiver Dion Long was cut by the Rams for bringing a woman into his training
camp dorm room. There was a guy in the Seahawks, Kamad Savard,
for trying to sneak a woman and he couldn't get her in. Yeah,
the other guy got it right, Okay, both got caught, So I
would I wouldn't mess with him. That's your whole future. Yeah. Another
team, and by the way, two guys that I didn't recognize their names
as top college prospects, did you those? Yeah, That's what I'm saying.
So you really you gotta an opportunity, do you know? Bob Blier.
So Bob was in here and we did it one them well, and
Bob was you know, we talked all about his time in Richmond and the
records he broke and kind of how he didn't he wasn't going to stay and
his father really pushed him. But the uh, the NFL, and he
was like, look, I you know, it's with the Patriots. It's
with the Patriots. Patriots, but it's a razor thin deal. Because even
then he said he wound up. He had one season, he said,
and it was really the strike season. He and Fluty had crossed the picket
line. But he's like, you know, that was it. And I
tried the World League and stuff, but you realize it's a razor thin opportunity
that you have and if you don't take advantage of it doing this kind of
shit, you're gonna lose it. Yeah. Who who would after putting all
that time, after energy, sacrifice, commitment, pain, all of that
just to get a piece? I mean, come on, yeah, I
just And that's why that's why I don't think and McDermott is McDermott is how
do I say this politely or respectfully? Is he's a control freak? Yeah?
I mean I'm a control freak. I mean there's certain things in my
business that I want to be a certain way because I have an expectation not
only of internal but external. McDermott has the same thing. That's why he
loves Fisher. He loves coming to Fisher people all the time. Give me
do you think they're gonna come back? And this and that. I mean,
my conversations with Sean for the last six years plus now have been he
loves it here because he loves the fact that every season is a new group
of people, right. I mean, even they're on their contract. You
got you got rookies coming in, you got free agents coming in. It's
all about getting the chemistry. And one person doesn't make a team, but
one person can destroy a team. Sean uses these two to three weeks in
Rochester to create his team, to create his chemistry, and that's what he
does it for, and he loves it for that reason. You go to
these teams that are at their training facilities, which one of the things they
love about here is that they do their meetings, they do their stuff,
and then they get their free time at like nine o'clock at night and then
they got curfew bedtimes at like ten thirty eleven. But they're all kind of
under the same roof. But they're right there. Yeah, when you do
that, when you're when you're as your training facility, they go home,
they're here, they're there. You know, you drive by the bar,
you drive by the restaurant. You know you don't have control over that here.
Where else are you gonna go? Sean used an opportunity for the guys
to get together. They're playing pool, they're playing pink pong, they playing
video games, they're playing cards, they're they're doing like stuff that you do
in a college dorm when you're getting to know your boys, you're trying to
you're getting all your girlfriends those that's what they use it for. And he
loves it for that reason. Fast forward to one of the new stadiums built.
I think there's a lot of concern about whether or not training camp would
continue here. But you laid out everything that would make sense to me to
try for two weeks, three weeks to get everybody under the same roof,
to get on the same page. Yeah, and I still think that's the
biggest attraction that Roster provides and Fisher provides for the bills. You then balance
the business side of it, and you balance the player side of it.
The training facilities here are not nearly as strong and as accommodating as they have
in Buffalo. I mean, the facility they have in Buffalo is like the
top notch, state of the art facility in terms of rehab and all the
other therapy departments and areas. I mean, they have the best of the
best of all of those facilities, right, cold tubs, hot tubs,
you know, the infrared, ultra, all that stuff. They've got it
all, and here they don't quite have it. They have some of it,
and they can get the players back I need it, but it's just
not as convenient. Yes, and so there's that attraction. Fisher needs to
step it up. And then and then the other part is is that so
you're you're in a lump, just make a donation, damn it. Yeah,
wait, you're a Hall of Famer. I gotta writ a few more
articles. The other the other thing, the other thing that's interesting is that,
uh, you know the Red and Blue Scrimmage, which is or practice,
which is the Friday, the second Friday of camp sold out. Yeah,
sold out. They sold I think it was thirty They didn't sell because
they're free, but they better be free anything. People selling their well,
they're reselling them. That's pissing me off. Yeah, that's not cool.
That is not cool is that. You know you packed in thirty thousand kill
for a practice. Where does that happen? Where does that? Where does
that happen? Thirty thousand people for a practice? I don't know. That's
crazy, green Bay, that's it, Yeah, green Bay. I was
trying to think. I mean, does Dallas know Dallas goes to or they
used to go to Oxford, Californi and you I don't know if they still
do. I'm not sure. And charging I thought they went to Austin.
But anyway, so you know, when here at Fishery, they have to
limit with Josh being here and the popular of the team is that we had
to distribute tickets because we had to limit the capacity for fire regulations and capacity
issues, and so that's why there's the tickets. But you know, the
agreement that we have with the Bills was that that tickets would be distributed free.
So there's no there should be no Ticketmaster service chars, there's nothing.
The Bills don't get anything. It's part of Ticketmaster and our partnership with the
Bills. For training camp is that it's free to the fans. It's feel
free to the bills Mafiah. What I don't like is that people get on,
they get their six tickets, and then they start to resell them and
then they're charging for them. That to me is just it's frustrating to think
people would do that. I get it's America, but it's kind of like
bullshit is bullshit it is because you're taking some of that right, the fun
of it out of it. And for you know, our partners with the
Bills that we get a ticket allocation, we get a specific number of tickets
and it's getting less and less every year because the demand externally and their other
coverate partners are asking for more and more and they're generating more and more revenue
because of that, and so you know, we want to give them to
as many people as we can, but we're limited. We don't have unlimited
access to tickets. And our big thing for us is we'd love to provide
the tickets for the youth football and then for community programs. Yeah, you
know a lot of people don't get that kind of access because of other limitations
they have economically, socio economically, or disability wise. So it's but yeah,
I I hold my breath going after this summer because the first game is
going to be September of twenty six. That'll be the first game state in
the new stadium. So the summer of what did you say they have up
their infrared pools, just some of the training, just some of the I
want to do. It's freaking it's incredible, it's amazing, and uh but
when So the summer of twenty twenty six training camp will should be here as
it stands right now, it should be here, and then the stadium opens
up in that fall, gotcha, So training so season and then and then
probably the opening game will be at the new stadium. It's gonna be fucking
amazing. Yeah, it's gonna be. That stadium is gonna be so much
fun for the Bill's mafia. I can't even begin to describe, especially if
people were bitching about the ticket prices. If you buy a three hundred ticket,
the three hundred ticket up the upper level ticket, I mean, one
of the best tickets in the whole stadium. ME tell you something. I
sat the second to highest row at the Brown Stadium to see the Rolling Stones
and I loved it. But you can see everything, all right. I
saw where you could see the field, and there's not gonna be a bad
seat, and it will be better than what I said. And I get
guarantee what Buffalo's doing. And one of the reasons why it's gonna be better
is that that canopy over top of that upper deck, yeah, is going
to cover the entire upper deck. So any rain, any snow, any
and the wind isn't going to be affecting the upper deck like it does right
now. Right now, it's horrible up there, right. You get the
rain, you get the snow, you get the wind. It's freaking horrible.
The new designer stadium, Terry and Kim want to have that stadium.
So the three hundred the upper deck level will have is great. They have
a better experience than one hundred level. Well, they have heaters up there
too for the No, they won't, but they will in the club level,
so they could throw some heaters up there. Be nice. Yeah,
it's gonna cost next couple of hundred bucks. Yeah, you know what.
We want you to like it, but not that much, so we want
you to have to spend the Excuse me, I'm dying over here. All
right, Well we'll take them moment. We have a new game that we
played, Greg, and we love you to play along with us. It's
called Theme that Tune. So you, dude, I'm horrible with that.
Why are you looking at me like I did it? Because I know you?
Because well, this is a it's fun. You get you get a
point for the song on a point for the artist, and then there's a
theme to all of them. Like last night, the theme was songs with
saxophone in them, right, I know it was. I okay, I
didn't get that. I didn't get that song. Yeah, sweet sax souls.
But I think around the Christmas tree. Come on, Greg, Yeah,
all right, you might. You might do very well with this.
I don't. I don't know. You're not sure, you know. You
know Greg doesn't like to lose. He's like, man, I love a
chance. I love it. You know. It does very well with this
Danny Day, Oh my god, every day you gotta live like birthday.

put it up your walk up music, right, everybody got walk up
music? Yeah, a little walk up. Oh this sounds exciting. Now
yeah, you got check it out. And you can't tell anybody you're doing
it. You just gotta do it. Yeah, they're never gonna know,
but it was. It was if anybody had ever inbody me to do a
first pitch, this is what I would do. Wow, we can probably
make that happen. Nah. Actually, actually you can't make it happen in
that stadium. I'm not allowed inside that stadium. What no, what did
you do? Now? Don't you know who the sponsors of this? Yeah?
Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean I can buy a ticket to
go in. Ain't nobody's inviting me? And I got you, Wow,

I guess we'll set it up to the World Wars. You can drop the
But you guys were sponsors for the lacrosse team for you we were, Yeah,
but were we were? They took it over our competition. Oh I
didn't know. It's good. They're support of the community. God blessed.
That's right doing their training camp. I love for them to put that number
up. Boy, that was a set man? Was that a set?
Set bike? JESU set bump spike? All right, this is the theme
that tune. Kevin's put a picked to cut all songs. He's curated this
list and we got to get the name of the artist, the title of
the song for the title and a point and five points if you get the
theme overall. Funk. I wish I had my kids ass I did the
music request. Yeah, they had so much. Don't sing, Laura?
All right? I've never heard his song before. Yeah, I guess you
have. Oh yet the longest freaking post ever sitting sinking, sinking, drinking
one. This where kids Greg out of bed every morning. It is because
you see like a montage Greg working out. I would love that that is
Wi somewhere struggling I love it. I recognize them, I just don't know
in your path all listen to your math. Craig gets next. What I'm
going to be questioning is manum someone who until reason offense. You shared your
secrets with your location. You forgot to turn it all. So I watched
as you walk into Somba called the black Dog or the pierce new holes in
my heart. You forgot to turn it off and hits here the even song.
He does not come waiting. Greg gave up. Let's get the bill
question marks on this paper over there, I write question mark. I don't
know. I do what else? Done? Missing a song? If you
will the picture? Will I g in a case? Right? A party
that day? I'm Greg has zero? All right, back to the top,
Back to the top. Here we go, Greg, what do you
got for this one? You start with somebody else? Are you kidding me?
You don't know who this is? You know this? Come on,
you have to know this. I just probably seem John and I have no
idea what the name of the song is. Crockile rock. So Greg gets
one point. You got you over there? You got Yeah, this one
is tough Danny Stones. Yeah, this is the Rolling Stone it's not Midnight
Rambler though it's not, but it is not. Oh the Spider and the
Fly is. It's an old, old, old old stone. So I
love this song. We know this one? Come on, Greg, frank
stallone about the only song I know? Okay, who would you? It's
the Flutie Brothers All Star Tiger. Yes, yes, it is the Tiger.
I don't know who the fuck sings the Flutie Brothers All Star Better survivor.
Yeah, hoping I didn't script the title of this song. Who's hungry?
Who's hungry? Yeah? We got I said, hungry like a wolf.
I don't know if it's hungry like give you We'll give you that close
knot the rand Urant Princess Dice favorite band by the way. Really, yes,
come on, Danny, you know this one? The cars, this
is this is a culture club. I'm coming only on. Yeah, did
you have that one? Greg? No, I said, boys, George,
we'll get her point because that gives you too, all right, this
one, asked me, stumped, I have no idea what the title the
song is forget to turn it off, and I'm thinking that it's at first
I wrote down Olivia Rodrigo. Then I crossed that album, said Taylor Swift.
It is Taylor Swift. Yeah, I can tell Taylor Swift, but
I don't know the song the black Dog. Okay, this was her new
album. Okay, all right, I said, Miley Cyrus, So you're
selling too, all right? That what I could think of that Jersey number
Dan, Yeah, Prince Man, Prince when Dove's Care cried, when Doves
Cry forgot the name? All right, Bi Lobster it is so I think
Danny and I are tied. Did you get one or two? I got
thirteen? Do you have the theme though? That? I want to say,
songs from movie soundtracks? That is incorrect? Songs for animals in the
title there you go four sixty eight, Oh gosh, well fourteen, fifteen,
five, twenty Finally the answers right in front of me too. Yes,
I probably should ask Greg before I had your giving your credit for your
you get the theme? Greg? Is that? Did you have songs about
animals? Songs about animals? Songs? Josh Allen doesn't know? For five
hundred dollars, Well, doesn't he listen to Elvis as Franks and I listens
to a lot of older songs? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Elvis.
He does the throwback stuff. Yeah, the throwback that's the that's the influence
of his Uh, his mom and dad Joel and uh they come to a
lot of games, I mean all of them. Yeah, all yeah,
yeah, yeah. I usually see him more regularly at the away games than
I do the home games because I do my thing. They do their thing.
But his parents are just they're great p and if you saw them in
the parking lot, you'd never know that they're Josh Allen's well, his mom
using bedazzle something that has seventeen on it. Yeah, but uh, yeah,
they're great people and that's why Josh might be such a down earth good
guy. My buddy went to a Redskins game on a road game. I
think it was maybe a New Orleans or something. This is when Kirk Cousins
was their quarterback. Yeah, and he's sitting behind Kirk cousins parents and Kirk
Cousins having an oral awful half and my buddy's just ripping them. Screw this
guy sucks. The parents are around halftime. Yeah, we're Kirk Cousins parents.
They were cool. Yeah, they were cool. They're like, yeah,
we get yeah he didn't suck. Yeah, He's like, Wow,
at the end of the day, we worth two million dollars. Ever been
in my life when they How is that possible? Because Bruce Allen of the
Law of Washington did not believe in him, but he didn't believe in him
not enough, if that makes sense, right, So in other words,
we can't do better than this guy, so we have to keep giving him
the franchise tag even though we don't want to keep him. And then Minnesota
was in quarterback purgatory. The Jets wanted him in Minnesota outbid the Jets to
land him, and you know, he brought him the playoffs three times,
but he was you know, he was like Dak Prescott, he has a
ceiling. He just he puts teams in quarterback hell. Because now they got
him for four years, right, and they drafted that kid in the top
ten. Actually, I'm the only person in America who thought that was a
smart move. Who Atlanta after they had already signed cousins and giving drafting drafting
that kid from Washington because if he screws up, okay, well then the
money's gone, so sunk cost. The money's gone. If you can turn
it over to the other kid to get to the playoffs. No one's gonna
care that. Just spin on. Un Guys think he's on his rookie contract.
So it's you know, saying nothing on that. Yeah, it's the
two right too, is off his rookie contract, coming off as rookie contract
now and the Dolphins this if the Dolphins don't hit it this year, and
I didn't see that they're paying third contract. No, it's second second,
it'll be his second contract. He's coming up rooie contract. I thought he
had like fifty three million or something on his last you know, they haven't
signed it. No, he hasn't current contract. And when he hits this
contract, he's gonna hit it in the fifties where Josh looks like a freaking
Josh's I think Josh is the is the oh is he eleven? I thought
he's up to fifties fifteen Now fifteen was won for about twenty five minutes,
yeah, twenty five seconds. Yeah, And so with two of they pay
him that money. They're gonna they got all these other guys on the offense.
You know, he comes up as rookie contract, you gotta pay these
other guys that team. That's what the NFL does with the with the salary
cap, which is a genius. But man, it's like and then with
Rogers, right, I mean, these guys are gonna start to come off
with their rookie contracts because they suck so bad and they have always great,
right, all these great draft picks the last three years, they're gonna start
hitting two Rogers. Really, the Jets window is two years. They've got
two years this year, next year, and then after that then they got
to start paying the other guys and then the team will just start to shrivel.
But Josh, that's the one thing, you know, who was it
was it you? Was it you Dan that was telling me? Or was
it you busting my ball? No? It was Kevin saying that Josh is
going to be gone after this year. No, who said that? Was
that you? Somebody was? Somebody was giving me all kinds of ship that
Josh's notice that when someone gives them shit, he automatically goes to you.
His contract. Josh's contract actually is up as I think it's two years with
the option occurs and uh, and they kept on saying how he's oddy here
because he's he can't hit his potential. He's not going to win the super
Bowl and all that, and Josh is the kind of guy. Josh will
take less if he can get the cat if Bean is showing that they're doing
what's necessary to support him to get to that. To win the super Bowl,
Josh will take pennies on the dollar, just like Brady did. Brady
format of the you know hated doing on Patriots and take to win more.
He will. Yeah, well he sort of gave him a discount. Rent.
Did you guys see the podcast that he was on. I can't which
one it was. They said, oh, Ship, who was it?
They asked Josh, if if the Bills were guaranteed to win a Super Bowl
next year when you retire and never played football he said that, he said
yes, and he said, yes, he goes for the Bills Mafia.
I would do it in hardy Yeah, or I thought it was if he
retired and they and then they want and they won and then they won with
him not playing, right, because but it's guaranteed. And he was like,
well, then I would feel like I contributed to the Super Bowl for
the Bills. Mafia. I would do it. Yeah, that's the kind
of guy you want. That's why he is will and will always be part
of the Bills mafia. Did you decide what away games you're going to this
year? I think I got a hammered I'm about to make the plan.
So the Dolphins game down to Miami on Thursday night, that's gonna be freaking
crazy. We'll drive and hopefully we'll come. We'll be coming off with that
Cardinals win on Sunday. Uh. And then Seattle. We are going to
Seattle. Yeah, yeah, so heading out west. Probably gonna make a
trip to now a San Francisco, then up to Seattle. Never been to
Seattle, looking forward to trying not to see what that stadium is all about.
And uh and then December, going to the Rams game that second weekend
in December for uh, so far two trips to the West coast, two
trips to the West coast. Man trips in the fall to the West coast,
Yeah, you know. And then in the and then the beginning of
the year, Luke's at Alford. You know, hopefully he stays healthy and
he you know, has the opportunity to play albea at all those games.
And then we got Bill Wills in his senior year Penn State and Penn State's
you know it's poised to you know, you never can tell colleges. We
got to go as a show to Penn State with Greg just to see the
Actually we do gotta go and and the game is the third game of the
year. I think it's uh, I think it's Kent State. I'm trying
to get there's a bunch of people that want to go down for a game.
That'd be a great game to go down to look at this. I
mean, you got to get sit down, get playing on aline. By
the way, Penn State Pence. Joel Klatt was on Cowhart Show today saying
that he goes Penn State might be an under the radar team this year because
this is if they expanded the playoffs they did. Now they're gonna be a
team that's gonna get in the Pac twelve. Teams that are joined that have
joined the Big Ten aren't ready for the Big Ten. They're just they just
don't have the rosters of the man power. They think that the Big ten
is gonna eat those like Michigan, Ohio State, and Pence. They're gonna
eat those teams alive, and you're gonna get three or four Big ten teams
in the playoff. Yeah. The the interesting thing and again I want to
this isn't necessarily a Penn State crowd podcast, but sorry. The Penn State
schedule sets up very well for them because they play of their first eight games,
I think six of them are at home. Wow. Okay, and
they do not play Michigan this year. They play Ohio State. Yeah,
yeah, those first I think there's their first game is at West Virginia and
then I think they play five home games and they've got UCLA. I think
their first away game is USC and it's like the second or third week in
October. Okay, so uh, and they don't play Michigan this year they
play they do play Ohio State at home. I believe it is in the
first I think it's like the first week in November. So it's gonna be
Penn State. Could I still think Penn States, you know, they're not
gonna go and defeated. I still see. You know, you got Ahiose
State in there, You've got USC on the west coast. There's a couple
of Washington I think is at home. So there's a you know, Michigan
State I think is there. There's a couple of tough games. But they
might lose one or two, but I think they sneak into the playoffs hopefully,
and you never know when you get to the playoffs, but it could
be interesting. You know. It's a good year I think for Western York
football. This is gonna be a lot of fun. Wow. All right,
well look at this, all the plans being made, training camp opens.
Look, I don't see them this happy Chris morning. It's like Christmas.
This is the years Christmas. In July we got by Bahl shut out
to training camp. See Greg Connors. Read Danny's articles at the Times in
Wayne shouty, Yes it's I was yelling at myself Kevin for putting together another
great game. I'm Bill Moran. Will see you tomorrow.
