On location and driven by Victor Brawn. It's Bilified the Bill Moran Podcast.
Well, thanks for getting your pot on. Thanks for telling a friend.
That's how we spread the word about the Pirates ship. We are live at
the Hospitality ten of Thirsties on State Street. That would be eight State Streets
in Pittsford, New York. We're rolling along right now. Dan Clifford has
done a hell of a job over here with the whole setup. You can
come in. There's a whole merch section, an entire merch section for um
Thirsties. Yeah, that's what I'm getting there. That's all just checking some
technical stuff. Any You and I have not been to this year's PGA.
No, you and I had snuck in. Was it really a decade thirteen?
Yeah? I have the picture. I think I sent him to you.
Yeah, or I tweeted him out the other day. You me and
a guy named Peter. Yeah, and we went up and we kissed the
wan lips are still on at the print. Yeah, we're good. We
tried to put a CMF bumper sticker in there. We didn't have them.
Uh, and then dirt in the ceremony when Duffner won it. The top
lid of the Wanamaker trophy came off. I'm like, oh, that would
have been a heck of an opportunity to drop a CMF bumper sticker in there,
which we didn't have any because the company didn't believe in it. That
well, people stopped putting bumper stickers on cars, gain and all the things
I ever faulted that company over, that's not one of them. Back,
all right, that's not one of them. Yeah, because I get over
the boss, He's like, get bumper stickers aren't the thing anymore? Yeah,
it's about the content. Yes, that really was. It was true
that boss and and our snooty upper boss, she wouldn't put a bumper sticker
on anything, bumper sticker even though it's station we were on and you can
tell her I said that. All right, all right, that's like,
all better we are. So I'll tell you what. Throughout the weekend,
this hospitality tent is here. Dan Clifford, he owns Thirsties, and it's
done a hell of a job. This is the PGA kickoff family Night that
we're at now. Most people will hear this on Thursday, and we are
going to try to go live at some point on our cameras and things,
but there were just some slight technical But I will say for all of the
live stuff we've done, and we're coming up on six or six month anniversary
of Billified, this is the best one so far. Knock on wood and
I still like the Greg Conner's man cave. Oh that was true too.
Yeah. Mark Sleigh Wall will be joining us in a little bit. He
is an ESPN writer. But the guy has been on Sports Center and Outside
the Lines and College Football Live. And he's a bulldog himself, a Georgia
bulldog, and certainly knows college football. But he's also a golf guy,
and he is in town and he's writing at ESPN dot com and sometimes appearing
on TV as well. So we'll be talking to him about some of the
happenings and what's going on over at Okill. Kevin was there today and all
of a sudden, h I get, I go to post on on Facebook
and I look and I see it's Kevin's kid and our new best friend Yeah
with uh s VP from from ESPN, Scott Van Pell's gone fan Pels standing
there with his boy. He looks thinner in person than he does on T
I guess the camera does adds ten pounds. Why did you put why did
you text him? Were you allowed to touch him or something? You didn't
touch him? Did you think something like that, he's Scott van Pel,
don't touch him. I'll tell you what. He had probably one of the
best shows on ESPN Radio, and he got a hell of an opportunity.
They basically created a show for him at midnight. He could bring his own
producers, Uh Steve with him, Stanford Steven. They moved to Washington because
he's from Maryland, and they moved and they built a studio and everything for
him to do the midnight Sports center from Maryland. They made him an offer
he couldn't refuse. But he and Ryan Rissilo had a great show, maybe
the best show on he ESPN radio. Really, and now nobody's listening to
ESPN Radio. It's a it's a joke. Um, So Van Pell is
he midnight every night? Well, midnight every night? Yeah, because last
night I was watching the Lakers game and I watched dated ended, okay,
Sunday, well then in the NFL and then he's going through, yeah,
all the way through. Yeah. Well that's um pretty good. Now,
what else was happening out there today that you saw Kevin when you were out
there, we did see they did we allow the trophy for a minute.
They had all the all the rules, people that walked the course for all
the golfers. They had their picture with the Wannamaker on eighteen. It was
nice, just a lot of putting, a lot of chippings. Bryson d
shambo toss by kiding autographed ball after hitting some nuclear shots. Wow, I
think he landed a few in fair parts. Yeahs Rochester did. He was
just just smoking the ball. Another one landed at CCR, one of them
my favorite of the West Side. One of my favorite moments today to come
out of Okhill. That's kind of going. I guess, for lack of
a better term, viral would be Dustin Johnson. And Dustin Johnson is married
to Paulina Gretzky Johnson. That would be Wayne Gretzky's daughter. And in twenty
thirteen, which is a decade ago, I saw them getting an argument.
I remember, I think he left early and I was walking up to the
clubhouse as she comes storming out ahead of him. She was like way ahead
of him, and I was going, what the hell is going on,
and he's she's yelling something back, and I'm like, go, look at
this. I was so excited that I caught this brief, brief, very
brief glimpse of losing your composure. Yeah, like she just had had it.
He was going through some tough times in those years too. Yeah,
personally, potentially I heard drug drug use. It was Yeah, it was
Jane. Yeah, yeah, that's what we were hearing too. He walked
right past this two right right, probably three feet from us. Well,
you should have asked him a question like this about his back. I'm all
guying up, kid. Yeah, I'm listing a kid. I'm done.
I don't know. I don't know, said, the next report goes,
I don't know how to follow it up. I don't know how to follow
it up. Yeah, I tweaked my back picking up a big basically Paulina,
which, by the way, does that make her sound like she's fat?
No? No, I'm gonna say. I'm just asking, like,
which could she take that? If you said that about your wife? Oh
gosh, would that be twisted to you saying that she she had put on
a few pounds? Not my wife. But I'll tell you that, like
There are women who I've dated who would definitely make that argument. She knows
how it happened, she knows how where they pick it up the cup.
Well, listen, what does he care? Right, he's making how much
money on the live tour? One hundred million? It's running to his father
in law today. That's my guy. Yeah, I don't Wayne. Wayne
Queen's got to be the most humble icon you've ever met. Sports Ye cut
he seems like he's still so as shucks him down to earth. Yeah,
everybody else? Like you take in his house that he's got a slide that
goes from inside to outs to the pool from inside. I'm pretty sure in
his winery in Canada. His winery and distillery is amazing in Canada, really
gorgeous. Right in Saint Catherine's, Oh wow, right over the bridge,
man, uh so, come on down and enjoy the entire weekend just in
Pittsford, even if you're not going to the PGA. And I will say,
the getting in and out of there is is it a bit of a
chore? I mean, look, they made it really convenient for even people
over by Greece where you live, to get there at the Tech Park,
you would take a shuttle in, but what was the shuttle was? It?
Was it a pain? We jumped on the shuttle, the shuttle is
rolling within three minutes, and jus on the shuttle here and we're rolling within
three minutes calling back. It was in and out easy. They made the
grease and gates. People park at the tech part. Yeah, you people,
is fun from Pittsfoot. Is it keeps less traffic coming in? Right?
It does? It does. I was driving down West Henrietta Road today
and the traffic was miserable. Yea, getting mcc well. I couldn't even
want to try Henrietta because I'm like, it's gonna be so much easier in
and out here. I don't have to deal with east side and traffic anywhere
near the course. Kevin said that his wife got a text from a art
Orthodonis who has offices in Greece and or on the west Side and here in
Pittsford, and said, if you're coming to the Pittsford office, allow yourself
thirty extra minutes. And that is true, and then it will, I
think pick up more so as the week goes on. I guess it depends
on who's gonna win and who's not gonna win. I wonder if people,
if you were guys not in contention tickets, Excuse me, if you bought
tickets, you're going. This is robust money and you're doing this. Yeah.
Yeah, people want to be part of a party on Saturday and Sunday.

or not. Things are coming. Tiger ain here and people are going nuts.
So there's enough other big names and aren't Tiger that are here. We
will take a moment we're on location and we're gonna be talking to Mark slay

It's fantastic. What a fun place to hang it really is And we need
one of these for the show. Yeah, you know what, Okay,
a portable tent. Well, I'm thinking, like there's a lot of things
going on behind the scenes right now, planning more for Fault. But there's
that are happening. Good. Yeah, long conversations last night with somebody.
Kevin walked in on them. But are you guys in the nude was a
problem? No, no, no no, because it was Bill moreno one
set if you want to have a real good conversation, yea naked there was.
I still agree with that. But no, this was about just some
marketing stuff and different things and something's coming in the fall alright, we're our
own pay per view somethings involved in that one too. But this is a
fun event. Picture does a lot of fun things. In the next couple
of weeks. There'll be something about two weeks called Paddle and Poor and if
you haven't been to it, it's bands and it's fun and they're you know,
obviously there's they're pouring some drinks, but it's a big briganta on the
canal and a lot of the area high schools. My son had participated when
he was a nice school and uh, it's it's just a fun event and
it's a you know, they make use of the canal pretty well in this
talent they do, you know, if they use every dry well they do,
they do, and there ignored the ever used the canal well. I
always Kevin, I mean, I look as as a friend of mine and
I will give credit. John de Chilio used to say, we have a
we have a canal, a river and a lake, and we've done nothing.
Great lake, We've done nothing. And that's really too bad because yeah,
because he grew up on a great lake in Erie and and there was
beaches and all kinds of Oh yeah. I mean, it's funny when when
our all buddy Tommy and I flew back from a from Nashville for radio confersation,
want to right, I go, hey, there's Erie putzel bet Is
that where John's from? Like oh yeah, and we're talking. I showed
him all like the beaches and areas where I grew up because we were flying
in real close in into the Buffalo Airport and uh, he goes, yeah,
that's where John got Mary. We all got stuck an area. I
want to show me a round this part, so we you know that guy
who just called him? I want to get a You can call any time
and leave a message at H two O six eighty eight sixty six from five
A five two H six eighty eight sixty six. Oh that's the reporter from
ten NBC that I think is such a dope. Oh, we'll get him
on. I'll get him on. Well, you will get him on,
Ben And I can't say that. I cannot say that he's I think he's
a dope, but I think he's a dope. And I talk let him
do a stand up piece, because he's gonna do a stand up piece.
But I talked to somebody else at ten NBC and they confirmed the story.
Just say it. Maybe it's kind of possible. It's like we cannot confirm
or deny. It does usually confirmation, Yeah, I should say, but
we can ask him, like, you know where he's from and how he
might and I watched the news with my grandmother and that inspired me to join
the news. But I want to talk to a bartender about the amount of
sugar and vodka. Yeah, I wish I could get my friend matt out
here. I know it's gonna get very busy. He's doing the inside stuff.
Mattie is uh, one of the staples at Thirsty's, been here for
years and years here. I've always liked that guy. I like everybody here,
Ricky, Ricky Pilcher, and I mean, they're just a great it's
just a I used to refer to it as the tree for it. And
the reason I did that was when you were a kid, most of the
time you go in there, and it's not all the time and at all.
I hope they wouldn't get upset by me saying this, But it was
mostly guys during the day, Like if you stopped in at three to four
o'clock, there were some regulars, you know, guys who were getting off
painting and all this. And one of the things I absolutely Will's love about
Thirsty's is you had the Wilmots and guys who you know, were uh,
guys who were big in business and stuff robbin Elbows with the guy who painted
and did things to their stuff. And right now, Bill, why don't
you have a seat. Say right there, it's Bill Smith. Is the
is the town supervisor. This is your party, Bill, Well, this
is uh something we've been looking forward to for a long time. And having
a BGA hero Yeah, you know, not just the economic input into the
town, but the fun, the excitement and uh by having family night tonight,
you know, with the Great Thirstay's hospitality tent with the Great Thirsty About
this ten, Bill, this did not Dan Clifford do a wonderful job.
It's the closest thing I've seen off premise. Let's say, head, oh
kill to a hospitality ten. That was the idea when Dan came to me.
Without this idea, this is an inspiration, Yes, so replicate the
field of the hospitality tight of course, and here we are and people are
enjoying it. Now. Have you been to a hospitality tent this year for
the PGA? Not this year? No, I haven't either this year.
But I've gotten in the past, and I'm sure you have as well.
Yes, I've kicked I've been kicked out some of those are outrageous, are
they not experience? Yeah? Yeah, it's like two floors and chandeliers and
all kinds of stuff going out of there. Let me tell you they have
built a city over there. Yes, o kill. Yeah, it's really
impressive. It is impressive, and I think I think it's very cool for
you and the town to be able to kind of show off and put your
yourself, your best self forward. I was just saying, I feel like
Pittsburgh has done a really nice job of using the canal, oh like developing
along the canal, and you've got like the breweries and what they've done along
there. Because we used to joke, you know, this is a great
area. You've got a canal, a river, and a lake, and
not everybody's done anything with you know what I'm saying. Yeah, Chittsford seems
to do it right. You know you are. You are spot on that
way, because I mean when I when I first came up here for New
York thirty years ago, one of the first things I noticed is that this
area has so many waterfront opportunities. Yes, but almost nobody does anything with
it right. And it's been a priority in Pittsford for at least the last
three or four decades to really try and make something of heavy the can when
you put that was that now you've been the town supervisor for the last decade.
That's right, right, So the whole pavilion that's down there where entertainment
is sometimes there's live concerts and things, that's fairly new within the last five
years. Correct. Oh, yeah, that was just dedicated gosh, either
a year ago or two years ago. Yeah, and but that's something under
your that was something done by the village of Bits with separate villions. I
apologized, we take credit. You went into where it just take credit.
Well, I really ship, I'm not need a few more beers to do
that. But yeah, I will tell you that. I can tell you
that we worked cooperatively in these things, and we worked together. Yeah.
So you know, something like that is a better bit to the whole community,
and it adds so much, yes, to the waterfront. Yeah,
now I know that you and I'll say by trade, but for forgiving,
for a lack of a better term, are a lawyer, correct I am?
Yeah, yeah, but you I did not know this until you just
kind of hinted at it. You're from downstate, Well, I'm actually originally
from New Jersey, but yeah, so I'm from the Poughkeepsie area, and
then I came up here and went to Fisher and I never laughed. Uh,
And I fell in love with Thirstys back then, and I've never laughed.
But it's it is an area that just holds you. Where in Jersey
were you? I was from central New Jersey and your Princeton Okay, yeah,
you know. I will tell you that I came up here for job
reasons. I how many people do, Yeah, and realized this is a
wonderful area and that really is it is easier to get around. Oh yeah,
the real estate casts a lot more moderate and the baldy of life is
so good in it is it's it's fantastic. What are you kind of hoping
because I would think that there's a lot of planning and I talked to Spencer
from your office that putting on this event is, I mean, it's a
big un taking. What do you hope when people will walk away with I
hope they will walk away with a feeling that they had fun, that their
families enjoyed themselves, and then they are that much more greatful and happy to
live in a place like Pittsburgh, because this is just one example of what
we have to offer people. Paddle and Poor in about two weeks is always
a fun event. My kids went to McQuaid or the crew team, so
I used to be here quite often for that stuff. Paddling poor it seemed
like a natural. But that was one of the first things I did when
I became supervised. I felt that that spring event had kind of become too
much of a kiddie ride event, and I thought, hey, maybe we
can add something for mom and dad too. Yeah, and while we're at
it, you know, just seeing those crew boats out there, it's so
fun, a beautiful sight it is. It's exciting, and I thought,
let's do something on the water and connection with that, so we did the
paddle long Pool. Yeah. I like your forward thinking. I really do.
I I you're seeing things. Talk to me if you can't, if
you don't mind. There's been a little bit of I don't know if it's
controversy. That may not be the right term to use, but with the
PGA in town, a lot of people who lived on Nolwood or country Club
Drive used to let people park and it would almost be unlimited. You I
mean, I remember in twenty thirteen there was not one inch of grass that
you could see it. So it's yard this year though, And I know
you were kind of trying to help the residents there behalf. The PGA was
not allowing parking. I'm not really sure if I understood fully yet. There
are no restrictions on parking on any lawn on any street in any part of
Pittsburgh, Okay, none. There is a part of Kilburn Road, yes,
and a and stone lead drive which is behind it where traffic is restricted.
This was done by the PGA and law enforcement. They insisted on it,
right, and they are making you have to have a pass to yet
in Okay, it's eighty four houses, those eighty four homeowner to get all
the past as they want to let as many people in as they want.
So there shouldn't be a problem. So why was this such a thing.
There was a lot of there was some mis communication and there you know,
the rumor bill didn't started about were waiting us to fifteen. No, fifteen
is what you start with and if you want more, you get it.
We're talking about the hank tags. Yeah, and finally I see the hank
tags. I mean, I could see I saw them hanging around for a
lot of people, and of course there's no substitute for face to face contact.
So finally what we did was we got a town staff or actually the
cheapest hat and the representative for the PGA. We went in the golf cart
from house to house, to every one of the eighty four houses to explain
to them what the story was, to give them the HAN tags they needed,
and to let them know exactly what they gonna do. I was going
to ask you this, what is your What is a busier day for you?
A Tuesday or a Saturday. I see you out, I've seen you.
I've lived in Pittsburgh for about twelve years. My kids are kind of
growing, and my wife and I are in separate states now, so I
don't want you to know where my left, but I would see you.
If you were everywhere, well, you know, you'd have an obligation to
support the various events in towns. Yes, and it gives you opportunity.
And one of the things I found a supervisor is that people for some reason
are reluctant to come to me to tell me about, you know, problems
to their neighborhood. That we could take care of. But if you go
to them run into them an event like this, you go to the neighborhood,
then people and what you were forthcoming, and they say, hey,
we need some help with this, kenya help yeah, and then we're able
to help. Yeah. I think it's someone intimidating. It's almost like going
to the principal's office to tell on somebody. If I come to you at
where your office is, But if I run into you here and I see
how disarming you truly are, I think that that makes it a little more
comfortable. Well, yeah, apparently it works that way, So I'm glad
people feel that way. How about the growth of Pittsford, You know,
I know that growth you look at you come into the village of Pittsford,
right, And both my mom and dad went to Nazareth and Fisher in the
nineteen sixty nine. It's when they graduated. Pittsford is it's somewhat the same
in terms of the village and much of the town. But it's hard to
grow and yet keep things under one watch. When I lived in Pittsford,
I was putting an addition on a sunroom and I had to come with blueprints
before the board, and I actually appreciate that because I don't want someone just
throwing up anything. I want something that's going to be esthetically nice and look
the neighborhood. Yeah, I get that. And I know that there's been
some controversy, Like on the other side of the canal, I think someone
was trying to develop something and that became a big deal. How hard is
that for you to try to because there's gonna be people that say, please
know, and whatever happens, you're a hero, but for other people you're
a zero. Yeah, well, you know, it's an important balance to
get right. Yeah, I mean the putting in context. One hundred years
ago, the village of Pittsford and a bunch of other little villages around here
that are similar all look pretty much the same. Yes, But now Pittsford
is and esthetically attractive village, a place people want to be in, a
place they walk into and makes them feel happy, and all the other places
aren't. The village of Penfield doesn't even exist anymore now it does play And
wow, that's interesting, that's fine. I didn't even think of that yet.
And right and around in the nineteen sixties, around the time of most
places were, you know, bulldozing and paving over their architectural heritage. There
were people in picture who thought, maybe we need to take a different approach
and appreciate what we have. Yeah, so there's always a tradeoff. There's
a more of a hassle to get that sun room built or that deck built.
Yes it is, yes it is. But the result I loved it.
I thought it was great. But it's for a reason, And the
reason is the accumulative effect of the result from all the houses in town and
around and it makes the whole place look like, Well, you don't want
to forgive me for being a little crash here, but you don't want to
all shit it up. You just don't want You don't want somebody with a
cockfight ring in their backyard. Oh well, exactly my uh. With the
former mayor of the village, you guy named Bob Corby. Now he is
an architect, Yes, and he gives presentations every now and then. He
used to have a presentation called how to ruin an Old House. He would
take examples of houses in Pittsburgh. Yeah, and then he would show exactly
the same style of original architecture in another village around here and show what people
have done to turn it into a horror show. And he said, this
is this is the difference. Do you want to do you want to take
care of these things or do you just want to let it spend out of
control? Right? And I think that that's very good. I mean a
lot of times people will complain and it is you got to go before the
board. I went with graph paper and circles to represent the exterior rock full
rock that I was putting out there, as other people will have big blueprints
all yeah, and they approved me. Some the guys to the blueprints going
no, no, you're he's got to stick figure himself waving. That's why
it doesn't always take a great deal. And you know here here's the payoff
them. We know this to be true. Plan planners know this to be
true that in places that take care of historic preservation and land preservation like we've
done ds you have, and the architectural heritage, that it increases the property
values throughout the town, even the houses that are just coundered houses and that
are not necessarily next to the historic area, right, it keeps the property
values high throughout the region. Found throughout the town. Yeah, merely having
that imparts to the town and knowing that the town cares about historic preservation.
Yeah. Now, I don't know, are is there term limits for a
town supervisor or are you allowed to keep running and running and running? Because
one, I think that you seem to like this job. You seem to
be very much a people person. Huh, But I would think that you
could be it forever. Well, there have been days and I wonder why
do I keep doing this to myself? But you know those days are those
days are pretty rare, okay, And you know, at least for the
immediately foreseeable future, as long as the residents can tolerate me, you know,
I'll carry on. Yes, well, very good. How about governor?
Your thought were running for governor? We we could use it a good
governor. Oh, I have too much self respect to everyone else the state
government of New York. So which what law did you specialize him when you
were were practicing. When I was practicing, I did corporate and securities law
training clients. Who oh wow, yeah, that's that's like high level stuff.
So you put Martha Stewart in jail? Yeah you were you? No,
No, what's you versus website town Supervisor Tom Flairy in a fight.
Who wins second my pass step dot Com. Yeah, well, I appreciate
your time and I think this it's a wonderful event, and thank you,
thank you for big here. It's been fun talking about Bill Smith, the
town Supervisor of Pittsburgh. It is the big party tonight and and throughout the
weekend. You're gonna have a lot of fun with a lot of people down
here. We will take a moment, we'll see if we can get Mark
Slabel back on. He's ready, Oh, he is gretty. Okay,
we will get Mark Slabe or we'll do that in Ji Jimmy's E's fucking rock
for Baby. They're open Wednesday through Sunday, serving up some of the best
places in shakes to ever pass your lips. And we're getting into that graduation
time of year, backyard anger time of year. Why not have the food
truck come out and you can find out all the information you need on getting

line is Mark slay Ball from ESPN. You've seen him on Sports Center and
Outside the Lines College Football Live. The guy can talk about any anny the
college football, basketball, boxing, NFL, dud Dunes speak Ball. Mark,
how many books about Duck dynasty. Have you written? Not enough?
But I believe yeah, because I think he did. What was it the
Duck Commander family? How faith family and Ducks built the dynasty. Those guys
look like they'd be a lot of fun to hang out with, just for
I don't know, even writing a book. Yeah, yeah, and I
need to find another redneck family I can write a Really they try to start
the winery and they're like, yeah, never again. But today's about golf
of the one hundred and fifth PGA Championship at Oakhill Country Club. Now,
Mark, I know today a lot of people who went to observe the practice
round. We're buying winter hats. Did you bring your winter gear when you
were coming to Rochester? Yeah? I've been known underprepared for these things.
But I looked at the forecast last week. Can see pretty philly today and
at tomorrow morning, But it was it was, it was friss But hopefully
after the frost of tomorrow, it looked like a pretty good forecast for the
weekend if we can avoid the rain. Well, you go to a lot
of tournaments, I would assume pretty much probably all the majors. How are
we stacking up at Okkill compared to some of the other clubs or it's other
courses at the event are held at. I mean, I love the course.
It's an old school course. It's a throwchatum. The rough is ridiculous.
Andrew Green did a fantastic job restoring it to what they had originally envisioned
with it, you know, talking to a bunch of guys, you know,
they compared to the US Open, guys get up. You know,
I think kicked under seven under, eight under, depending on what happened to
the weather. Yeah, the weather get enough day in the winning tour they
had just after the Senior PGA, they ripped up the entire course and redid
the whole bunch of it. So I would think it's even a little more
challenging, and some of it's a little more open than in the past,
which I don't know if that makes it easier or harder. But I didn't
read your article today about Justin Thomas on ESPN dot com. Now that Justin
has won two Wannamaker Trophies in his career, but he's had a bit of
a drought over the past couple of years. He even missed to cut this
past April for the Masters. What are players like Justin say to you when
it comes to I mean, a lot of guys would just give up and
throw their clubs in the erie canal, you know what I mean. He
would just get some frustrated stuff after a while. Where is his head at
as he heads into this tournament? Yeah, I mean it's the maddening court,
no question about it. I mean, anybody did kind of play for
ten fifteen years, certainly not at that level, but you know, it
just it comes and goes. It's a very sickle game and you get the
wrong swing thought or you know, for wrong habits, it's gonna be difficult
to get it back. And you know, they all go through it,
even the the best players like Justine Thomas. You know, it's a lot
of it's what's going on between the years and Glory mcloy is dealing with some
of that right now as well. So you know, Justin's one of the
best players in the world. He's got more shots and got a lot of
guys out there. And you know, I remember talking doing another player before
the PJA Championship of Suthern Hills and Cold To last year and asked him who
he likes, you can't have to make you can't have to make every shot.
I kind of like Justin and any one. And I asked the friend
guy this week, who do you like so you're gonna have to make every
shot? I kind of like Justine. Okay, I did notice today you
were talks about the rough and the rough wasn't really long. And how about
how different is the course set up for a PGA type tour versus a lot
of these live guys coming back out to the PGA Tour. How much difference
is a course set up for live versus PGA. UM, it's like going
from community to a caliber court. To be honestly, you know, that's
that's the problem with live They have not for the most parts, they're able
to get on the really tallenging courses. UH. This year, UM,
they played at Thorne County in Orlando, which hosted a PGA Tour Q school
event back in probably ten years ago. They played in Tucson at a court
that used to be a the PGA Tour site, and then they played a
broken Arrow for All in the last week, which he was not a Wheely
Championship caliber court. But you know that was a big question for everybody going
into the mat. How would live guys performed because they hadn't played on difficult
tracks and they hadn't played a lot of golf. But work depth get tid
for deck and Phil Mickleton give for dec and I think Patrick Greed finished in
the top ten. Though. You know, guys to that caliber on the
big days, they're gonna step up at perform. YEA. I definitely saw
Bryson out there today with the rough and he was he was struggling. He
did a lot of rough on today because he was just struggling getting the ball
up and out of the rough. You're gonna have yeah, and then that's
that's the balance of Bryce. And I thought to him on Monday, I
believe, but you're gonna have to hit it long. He didn't have to
carry ball in the ball a mile. You're gonna have to struggle, but
yeah, you're gonna have to beeve in the fairway. You know. It's
funny because Rory McElroy is kind of the favorite son of this area. He's
a member at Oak Hill and his wife is from the area, and I
believe he has a residence here as well, so he's kind of that favorite
something we'd love to see him win. But he's been very outspoken about the
Live Tour and seems to have quieted down a bit now. But when you
look at this, you know, maybe from your opinion, I don't know
how comfortable you may be sharing this, but having these guys participate in the
majors at like the PGA Championship kind of raises the level of play, right,
I mean, you're getting the best of the best. It's no longer
just exclusively PGA. I think it was a smart thing to allow those guys
to participate. Yeah, they're eligible for the PGA. Gave it Dick year
because they made your dude last year, and they can you know, they
get their PJ of America membership group being active members on the PJ Tour.
But there's an eighteen month bake period. I believe still a lot of those
guys we were able to get in. But you know, if you hosted
a major championship without brook Kept, without comment, excuse me, without Dustin
Johnson, without Factor Reed, without Cameron Smith, you don't have to throw
into the field in the world. And that's the PREGA of America projectself on
was having the best field of any major every year in the PGA jam Right.
I almost feel like he'd need to put an asterisk next to the event
if those guys weren't allowed to play, right, You know what I'm saying.
I just but that that's just me. Did you meet Josh Allen,
the favorite man in Western New York? I know he's been out of the
course. I met Jock Allen when he was in Wyoming all summer college football
at committments and I went out to lay me the summer before his senior year
at Wyoming, and I actually played golf with him on a course out there,
and I went, I went eagle birdie on him to start a round,
which was probably the only time that's happened in my life. Wow,
I saw him. I saw him at the Genesis and La and Rivieria back
in February, and I hadn't seen him in a long time. And I
went up and I told some of my buddies in the media, I said,
I went to eagle birdie on that guy. They're like, yo,
you're full of crowd. And I went on there. I said, God,
remember me. He goes, Oh, yeah, you got a good
fellows. Guys, I went eagle birdies just not your head and nodded the
dead and I was like the help he remember? Mark? Right, guys?
Loving and Mark you cover college football. We've seen a lot with the
transfer portal going on and now Nils involved, and it seems like it's the
wild wild West. Do you think there will be any type of oversight on
this or is this just gonna keep on going as long as it can go?
Yeah? I think it lesbursim oversight by the federal government to Congress,
which most of the times you don't want federal government sucking it at all,
right, you don't. I just think the NCAA is such a poor job
of getting it under control to the state took it into their own hands,
and there's no uniformity or you know, national rules in place, and it's
just the you know, the richer getting richer, and the gap between the
have and the have not just getting wider and wider. And George Alabama Io
date you have to be obam everybody else. You're spending an account of money,
and you really, you really have to be concerned for a fool like
Gyracuse to wait forward or whoever, absolutely starting as a financial resort to continue
to compete. Yeah, I'm worried about Syracuse with basketball now that Beheim's gone.
Yeah, so I feel like there's not really the draw. Yeah,
let me let me ask you, Mark, I mean, like follow up
question. You know, even from the Bill brings up Syracuse in basketball.
I mean they're a historical school. Florida State in Miami used to be historical
football schools. Do you see them because of Nil turning things around sooner rather
than later? Or have they given way to the Georgias and the Alabama's and
the Clemsons of the world. Michael Vella Florida State. He has done a
fantastic job refuilding the program and inherited absolute bas from Willie Tagger Gimbo picture the
locker room was in complete de Ray, But you know, Florida Date,
I'm coming forward State for a long time. Help the Bobby Bouton right at
the memoir after they retired. Yeah, people forget that that was a women's
thinking college until the nineteen sixtieth and they're just front. They were so far
behind everybody else from the SEC in the eighteenth date the big school was like
Cliftons just because they didn't have the alumni faith and the money to compete with
facilities. And it's the same deal with with n I L. I don't
know if Miami's ever gonna get it right. Miami has been a bunch of
money at n I L. Um. You know, if Mark Rick can't
win there, I don't know that anybody can. And you know what to
see if they can turn it around. Are you buying the Colorado hype?
I heard a lot of people are throwing money down for them on the big
odds to win the National Championship with d on there. Wait what, Yeah,
it's still Colorado? Did life? I remember? What's Colorado? Mark?
You probably remember with Colorado and we're growing up they were great? Oh
yeah, Michael Westbrook, Cornel st. Johnson. Unfortunately it's not the nineteen
nineties anymore. No, it is just down at Missouri. Come on,
Mark, what was your best year overall? If you could go back to
one year in your life, when would it be? Oh? Probably?
Uh? And I grew up a Notred Ain't fan, and then I grew
up. I grew up in Indiana, but I went to the Univerity Georgia.
I know you did. And I've had. I've had two daughters there,
one just graduated last Friday. Congratulator, thank you. One of the
sophomore there right now, and I tell him every day how poor they are
to be there. To win the two national championship is something, man.
Yeah, yeah, to see that, to see the joy and the fund
they've had, the pretty special, the bad to go back to the PGA
Championship. There is a freeze warning tonight, just a warning, but I
think that open area. I mean, if they had to, they made
pushback. I mean tomorrow starts tournament play, so if they had to,
they made push it back. The guys who were starting at seven. I
don't know how that screws things up and setting us out and all that.
However, looking at the field, I did see who you picked to win
this, and I don't know that it's a name that comes to most people's
lips when it comes to the PGA. Tell us why you actually do believe
Mark that one Zanders softly could could win his first major here. I mean
I wrote earlier in the week he's spend more time on Major champion give leaderboard
and worked off the player finding the board. Yeah, coom um, you
know the guy shows up every big event. Um, you know, I
think he hit it far enough and has I you know, look, it's
probably gonna be John rom or got again. I know, especially we've Gotti
with the runoff and his short game. Who he just who've done things with
other guys can do with a wedge in his hand. If his putter get
hot to get hot, I think I think he wins. Ron's played better
than anybody in the world with October. Yeah. Um, but you know
I went with jof just to not go with jobably. I gotta tell you
when I went to major, when I was reading through ESPN dot com and
who people were picking, and I saw you pick schoflah Igh. God,
I love this guy already because you're not going with oh who everybody is protecting
and you're actually you're right. I mean he's in contention or he's been in
the top ten, top twenty five, why not him? And I love
that answer and I think that it's great. Thanks so much for your time.

come on man. I was told that the Toronto Marleys had to stay in
Buffalo last night because of the hotels in town they worked out at. It
was a Carbor Center center. Yeah, wow, no hotels in town.
So okay, well, I mean that makes sense sure with the PGA town.
Have you gonna take a busy man? That could almost work in your
favor? Right? It's almost like a little wrench of the assistant for the
Marleys. We'll take a moment. We are live in the ten. I

Clow. This is a site of the hundred and fifth PGA Championship. Do
we need to get on one knee? Yes, I'm gonna send this to
Kevin Lagrant for his approval. So, Jim Murkley, first of all,
I'm so glad that you I texted you, and I know you're busy and
you got a million things going on. But the fact that he texted and
said, hey, I'm here, where are you? I'm thrilled. But
as the president of of oh Kill taking out you know during a PGA event,
how how cumbersome does this become for you? Well, I mean it's
it's a it's amazing how this community comes together. I can only just say
that, you know, Ron Bluta, the general chair, Jim McKenna the
vice chair, myself as a vice chair. Um, it's it's just it's
such a great thing for this community. It is. And you know,
so listen, I might be the president of o Kill, but it's not.
It's nothing about me. It's all about the membership of the country club
and what they do for this community to put this on. We're so proud
to have this new Western New York and the synergies that we have with the
PGA of America, the treasured partnership that we have with them, and it
in incredible. It's one of I believe. You know. We just talked
to um an ESPN writer named Mark Schletten slay Ball, and he talked about,
you know, what a great course Pla says, and how challenging it
is. But after the Senior PGA, right, I think as a member
you couldn't play almost the entire summer right after that because they ripped up the
course and we did it almost to make it harder, right right, right.
Andrew Green did a phenomenal restoration of the course and it opened a couple
of years ago back to the membership, and and your Green is such a
disciple of Donald Ross and what he brought back to Oak Hills East course is
phenomenal. Yeah, And I mean just the bunkers and the greens and the
rest ration. It's phenomenal and it's gonna be a true testament of what these
uh, the DJ flayers are gonna be playing. Well. Kind of interesting
because we we just talked to Mark and Mark was saying that, you know,
some of the live guys have been playing easier courses. They can't get
on some of these tougher courses. And one of the things, like Kevin
was out there today and he said, the rough has been pretty tough,
and you're seeing some of the live guys practicing a lot in the rough because
they're not used to it anymore. Those guys are phenomenal players, yes,
they are so regardless. It's it's just it's just gonna be right in front
of you. Yeah. But I mean it just speaks to the hell how
great this course is, how tough it is. Right. I was just
at a Jim nasonvent today behind with CBS and they just talked about how great
this golf course in this spring is. In the May, it's just phenomenal.
And this rough, as everyone knows, in May, it just the
rough just grow oh so quick, Yes, it does, right, and
it's just gonna be amazing. How how and it's a great testament and how
they're gonna go play. Yeah, it's gonna be phenomenal. The Hill of
Fame today with Jim nance getting into the Hill of Fame, right, how
great was that? That had to be a very interesting event to be It
was very cool. It was very cool, and it was so cool that
Jim Nance was, you know, forty six inductee into the Hill of Fame
and you had uh von Riller and uh Josh Allen team to support it.
Yeah, Jim Beeheim and Julie and just to support this and you know,
Jim Nance to be inducted. But it was just it was a pretty cool
event. Yeah. It was like it's it's historic in a way, and
I think that's kind of you have a front seat for all that. Now
as the president of the of the of O Kill, did you have anything
to do with that ceremony in terms of bring You don't Bill Westerfeld the Hill
of Fame. So when you are a past president, you become part of
the Hill of Fame uh committee. Yeah, and so I kind of to
the back seat. Bill Wesserville did a phenomenal job along with rom Fluid and
company of getting Jim Dance to uh to be inducted. Yeah, it was
really cool. Yeah, that that is exciting. Now you played the course,
do you? I'm not that good, But have you ever walked up
to one of the guys you go I feel your pain, I feel your
pain, buddy and Rock Yeah, who do you like on the winning Look,
everybody's talking John rom but I mean, is there anybody that could be
a dark course? So to speak for you that is coming out any of
them would be phenomenal. Yeah, you know what you're room for everybody and
even a player. I mean you know it's having Jordan's speech when when his
career Grand Slam at Okkill and never won a free d Jip won all the
others. Jordan's speech wins. What a great story there would be is a
great story. We just want a great champion. So we're we're we're Rory
would be a fun champion, member of the club with phenomenal give us Yeah,
I think pretty cool. As the as the president. When we see
you on TV Sunday with the presentation, they don't need to see my potato
heads. Get up there, Come on, get up there. Keep reelected.
You got a campaign street quant unful of four years. So listen.
O, hey, what's the tournament coming back? If you guys had any
discussions, so listen, that's the biggest thing. You know, it's very
competitive, this is you know, there's there's we're eat clubs in in uh
in the United States, they're trying to get the next JA championship. Man,
So we're just trying to do our best. And what's great is this
West Western New York community supports this so much that, um, we're gonna
do our best to try to get another PGA championship because you know, you
look at the course, it's phenomenal. So we're gonna do our best to
trying to do again British Open if you can really have some pull, get
the prints to come over here. Jimmy, I gotta say, you know,
when they show the aerial shots, the drone shots of the course,
it looks phenomenal. It really does. From effortwhere in town, yeah,
and everywhere, and all the people right and all the people with who are
coming from out of town to be volunteers. I think there's volunteers from forty
three states of this event. Three that's amazing to me. They sold out
the volunteers within a handful of day. Yeah, and that's what that's those
one of the mechanisms that the PJA looks at and says, hey, can
this Western New York can support a major And there's no question about it.
We can support a major and it's phenomenal for this community. Yeah, it
really is phenomenal for the community as we're seeing just the kickoff event here tonight
came downtown Pittsford, but the whole area has that buzz and it seems to
spill over to other suburbs as well. And I I'm with you. It
kind of puts you on the map for something that's really really spectacular and very
easy to get in and out, you know with the shuttle buses and things.
I mean, it's see Was. Yeah, it's been seeing Was.
I can't talk enough about Bill Smith, Uh yeah, man, Bob Duffy,
those guys are really phenomenal about, you know, getting this trying to
do whatever we can to get this tournament back. But again it's very competitive
and it is what it is. But we'll see how how they they played
this week now. Jeff Corkbrant, I can't talk enough about Jeff Corkrant.
You go ahead, Ground Superintendent. Yeah, that guy is the best in
the business. He is phenomenal to stress these guys have to feel well,
honestly, because you're trying to live up to a standard that is the highest
in the world. Right in the world and the highest in the world.
I think that's phenomenal. Now when you look around here, and I don't
know if I'm allowed to say this or not, but you have a connection
with Thirshis. Yeah, you can say I'm bloodline. It's your brother law
of course, he owner. Oh, that's why we're here. It's been
in this family for years. It has enough about the Clifford family. Any

just but the hospitality tent that he has here and it'll be here all weekend.

that's gone into these fun things and you just get to come and enjoy it.
And I'll tell you what, That's what makes a community, right,
no matter what, that's what makes a community. Now. One of the
things we did the other night was playing Orde Star or PGA Golf. I
heard about this, yes, and uh it was interesting because I did not
know that they had the cons Erotic Film Festival cans well you chased it the
cans because we're talking about cans, okay, but I mean I didn't know
they had that. I just thought it was, you know, the International
Film Festival and where everybody has all this stuff, very highbrow, very highbrow,
very high But that was not the Uh, that was not the case.
They do have an erotic film festival as well. Okay, that's not
surprising. But okay because my father. I went up talking to my dad
today. No, he had called me and I was running around doing some
stuff, so MC call you right back, and I called him back,
and as we were wrapping up the phone call, uh, you know,
he's asking me how the podcast is to all tonight we'll have Bill Smith on
and we'll have this ESPN reporter on and we're gonna be live from the kickoff
event. And he goes, so, what's going to be the dirty topic
tonight? Now, I gotta tell you, like, that's that's my dad
go basically saying I don't like when you talk dirty. Oh that's what that
is, all right? And so I instead of where I used to like
shrink away, I went, oh, tonight we'll play a PGA player or
porn star. And he's just lapped. It's okay, you went to get
it. I used to get like. I mean, I remember I came
home from radio when early on in my career, I was nineteen years old,
and he would listen when he came back because he was working on his
doctorate at FLORIDAM and it was two hours away. So he'd be driving back
and getting home around midnight, and I'd be going on radio around midnight,
and he would just listen to make sure I made it there. And I
remember one morning I walk in and he's already up. He's making breakfasts for
my younger brother and sister to get off to school, and he goes Rolling
Stone Magazine has become your bible because I would call more Rolling Stone in there
all the time, and so I don't I never knew if he like approved
or disapproved. To day he had just met TV it said he was paying
a better Rolling Stone than Penthouse. Well, if I could have said playboy
Penthouse, that's back when Rolling Stone is stuff, all of it. I
could have done all of it back when Rolling Stone is still good. Though,
rolling Stone that held on magazine. What's the problem now because they're too
liberal for you? Not Danny, No, No, it's got to got
to do with it. They used to be like an artist magazine. Now
it's become just like what they lost my respect when they started covering like the
Boston bombing situation. And gonna I'm gonna try to do an interview with one
of the founder's sons who now owns a brewery by my mom. Okay,
yeah, I'm gonna try to get I'm gonna try to go down to do
a one on one with it. I don't have to go down soon because
as I called my mother last night again, she's not there again. What
your mom's idea again for that comment? Um, not on me for that.
She uh's gonna require some surgery on herniated discs in her neck seeing specialist
in Albany, and was giving me the tentative date and how people said,
well, don't worry about it, your your children will be here. She
kept eight years, but I was I apparently was the last one to call
because I got a big long text at about ten thirty. But there were
other extenuating circumstances last night after the podcast that I was at the studio and
I didn't go home and I didn't call her to check in after her appointments.
So she was giving me this missive So then I called her and I
got, I got the passive aggressive life. You got the guilt a little
bit, the first little it a little bit. Look at this, So
Dan, you gotta take you gotta sit for a second. Yeah, just
a real quick quick yes, we had him on the phone, but right
here, come on, your brother in law said, I really would love
to talk to Dan Clifford because the Clifford family has been such a kind of
a staple in the Greater Rochester Pittsford right there for years. And this was
his dad's and then his dad passed on and he bought it out from his
brothers. And what he's doing with the place and trying to keep Thirsties as
Thirsties always was and yet moving forward. Yeah, not an easy thing to
do. I mean, like when you have national lastly known writers and golfers
coming to this place because they know what it is and it doesn't have a
sign on the place. No it doesn't. It shows you what an institution
really is. I mean, it's kind of like cheers, it really is.
Yeah. You know, everybody knows my name, all of them all.
Right back up. Your father's a doctor mine, Yeah, philosophy.
