It's just like the old radio show with the addibility to swear a lot from
the mac of All Trade studio in Fairport and driven by Victor Chrysler Dodge jee
Bram. It's bilified but Bill Moran podcast. Well, hello and welcome.
Thanks for getting your pond on, Thanks for telling a friend, and that's
how we spread the word about the Pirates ship training camp. Today. Kevin
was there in his Patriots gear. You have a Patriot's hat on now.
I showered after Kevin. I got a little worked up. I got I
got out there, I got some catches. Did you get to him catches?
He was very polite and respectful to the Bill's mafia. I'm sure you
appreciate his character in respect it is. It is kind of cool because you
get real access to some of the best athletes in the world and now some
of the best at least in the NFL. Yeah right, yeah, And
and and you're so close like next like this upcoming Friday, they're doing the
Red and Blue Scrimmage in Buffalo at the Stadium, and in your it's the
stadium. I mean, it's got nothing like being at Fisher. You're so
close to these guys in the warm ups and their drills to see what they're
doing, their footwork, their strength, their size. I mean they're so
freaking big. I mean they're like Kevin size. These guys are freaking huge,
enormous, and they're looking just did you sign any autographs or anything.
I did not kid met my kid met Vaughn. I saw that. I
saw the picture that you posted on social media. Brady was kind of bored
because he couldn't see too good. Still short, Yeah, we're running around
all the little I feel the same way, Brady. F Well, there's
some short people now. I've heard a couple of different things about training camp.
One Ki Kim Pogoula was out for the first time in a year.
Watched from an suv in the end zone, and I like to think I
didn't see it leave the air on the windows down. I don't know,
but I didn't see any uh video or anything. I thought, there's so
hat respectful of her privacy as she's recovery. Yeah, you know, I
mean, I I found it very interesting how all the newsreels and the tweets
were, like Kim's making her first public appearance, and I mean the fact
that she's there is huge. I mean, anybody that's had a loved one
that has suffered this condition that she's been through can only attest to the fact
that the progress in the in the recovery is can be challenging, and and
DeMar recovery is phenomenal. I mean, the attention everything that went into that,
and seeing him at camp and performing is truly it's it's it's it's impressive
to see him and see him and meet him again and talk to him.
Um. You know. Unfortunately I'm not I don't think Kim has had quite
the same recovery that Damar has had. But to see her there, to
have her there, um, you know, it is quite remarkable. How
much is her I mean as as the Colner or the Sabers and the bills,
and she was president of the Bills, right, yeah, yeah,
how much has her presence missed a lot of changes, right, I mean,
there's some significant changes in things. Without out trying to I'm not trying
with hang out. I'm not trying to poke. I'm really not. I
don't mean to, and I but I just want Here's why I say this,
because uh, we'll get to it later. You know, we're in
a different world. Now, yeah, you see women in power. And
I grew up with a mom that worked, so it was never foreign to
me. But some guys who just signed a deal with the radio company extended
their deal, got fired for stuff that they said. And we'll play the
news report later on about a female reporter, and I just to show you
the significance and the power of women beyond just the fact that they're a woman.
That's not why they got the job. They got the job because they
had the ability. And you know, she she I mean, granted,
she and her husband bought the team, but she ran the team. Well.
So Kim and Terry are a team, I mean, and they were
a team in the business that they had with the petroleum and all that.
And Terry has an acute, astute, like brilliant mind when it comes to
a lot of that stuff. And Kim has a true gift in terms of
people skills and marketing and understanding. And when she was the president of the
Bills, she really was the mindset of the Bills mafia. I mean,
she brought that to the table and decision making. And you know, she
grew up in Fairport, She graduated high school down in by Ithaca. Her
parents were the superintendent of schools her dad in Arkport, New York, which
is just north of Hornell. My mom's sold her parents a house and Arcport,
Kim went to college and Hoton, you know. I mean, so
there's there's a certain realism that she can connect with with all of us in
the Bills Mafia family that she brings to the table that, you know,
with all due respect to Terry, who's a brilliant man and extremely successful,
I don't know that he actually has that connectedness. And so her absence with
that is missed because she really had a voice for the you know, i'll
say the people for the Bills Mafia. And that was something that and under
her leadership, the Bills Mafia was brought under the Bills ownership. Yeah,
and that was her vision, that was what she wanted. And you guys
saw the video of this past week about the young girl that Josh hugged.
Yes, you know, she was part of the mini mafia. So one
of the things that they did, one of the things that Kim was looking
to do was to create the Mint the Kids Mafia, and they and then
and evolved over this last twelve months. They called the mini Mafia, and
so they give VIP tickets to the kids and they see that our general admission,
and they invite them in and they give them that that that front row
area right in front of the community tent, and that's part of her vision.
That was part of her vision that she did. And so not having
there there, not giving having her the presence that she had before, is
missed, and but seeing her there making, you know, is great to
just feel her presence and hopefully she'll continue to evolve and and have some input
and share those thoughts. But uh, she's one of us. Yeah,
I didn't realize that. That's where I knew there was some time in Fairport.
I thought where she grew up, but I didn't know that the arc
Port and her parents with you know, superintendents of school, so really entrenched,
totally right entrenched in the community. The other part that the other thing
at training camp that I saw, I actually did not see this. I
would be a liar to say that I was told about video where a player
throws a ball into the stands and it's going toward a kid and some woman
reaches over and grabs it. Have you seen this? I have not.
I only heard word of it. I have not seen it. And people
was that the Diggs was that Digson in the ball into this Dame. I
don't know. I don't know what player was. All I know was that.
And somebody said, I wonder if it's so like a name of somebody
that they knew who was at camp that day. And then so I don't
know if in the end, right maybe the woman handed the ball to the
kid. Who knows. I don't know. I just thought, I go,
boy, that that's something that we don't see a lot, you know,
at least not at Bill's training camp. We don't first of all,
a woman stepping up and making that grab. Bless man, go after it.
I love it. I love it. That's part of that's that's part
of what camp is all about. Having that access. Now. I know
when when when Stefan has come into practice pre game during the in season at
the stadium, Stefan has this ritual when he plays catch with the kids in
the stands, Oh how fun. And I think it was day two.
I think it was Thursday and Friday when Stefan came onto the field. He
had a ball and he was flipping it to the people around the perimeter.
Yeah, I didn't. I didn't hear that he threw it into the stands.
Okay, but I wouldn't shot. I don't know. All I can
tell you is I was told allegedly there's a video that was going around on
social media in somebody's feed. I didn't see it. I brought it up
wondering if maybe you know I've been there every day. Yeah, I did
not see a pretty good pop coming out this morning. He didn't throw the
ball, but he ran across the field and he was slapping hands with the
kids down by where we were. Yeah. On the thrill for those kids.
Yeah, you know, he's in a thrill for them too, the
players. I mean that whole thing with Josh with the kid, the little
girl that hugged, I mean, it takes I was saying that here,
you know, it takes nothing, and you changed that girl. That girl
has a memory for the rest of her life, of her life. I
mean, that was on the Today Show. I didn't know that that made
the Today Show on Friday. So the Friday Today Show, yeah, showed
that video. So they have this thing on the Today Show. I think
it's like pop starred or like you know best things in the day. And
they showed that video that girl and she lost it and she was like you
could see the tears in her eye. Good. Jennifer Lukey was the one.
She's the one who shot Who shot it? Because I saw Jennifer Lukey's
tweet. Yeah, and she caught the brother yea Allen, And I go,
boy, whoever tuned whoever was a stute enough and tuned in enough to
see this like between the family, that was pretty good, and then to
catch the whole thing. And she caught it. And from what I understand,
she saw it like the brother and she's and she's like, hey,
let's get this and see what happens. And then NBC ran it in the
Today's Show. You know, Local was in affiliate NBC. They picked it
up and they ran it two days later. The whole nation saw it.
I mean, but that's the power of Josh Allen. Yes, and he's
here in Rochester in her backyard. Well I would I yes, And I
thought, boy, he may forget that, right, he may forget that
he didn't at some point maybe come on, yeah, but I go,
boy, just that moment, it was just such your memory for anybody,
Well, the emotions, you know. And the thing that's great about that
was that, you know, she's a young teenage girl. I mean she's
anywhere is from ten to fourteen. I was guessing. I mean her pure
emotion, that that unfiltered emotion and innocence was was amazing. And Jennifer really
captured it. Yeah, as a as a parrot. You see your kid
have that just exhilaration. I mean a guy people our age, we're too
soured, We're not going to have that emotion. She was all about it
and it was awesome. I hang on a second, now, hang on
if a grown man did cry when Josh Allen came over, if a grown
man did, if a grown man did shit a tear, I think we
would have all kinds of names behind his back. Were Yeah, we would
like Sandra Bullock. Let's say it's one of the woman, one of the
hot women of our era. Yes, and Sandra Bullock came over and gave
me a hug. I might cry, I might cry. I'd cry it
out of time. Brady hugged it out with me. A training camp.
Absolutely, you would absolutely, let's not do anything at training cry not rubb
it. I don't know I'm trying to think if there would be anybody Mick
Keith, I wouldn't cry. Oh you'd be like the girl on the freaking
out, would not I would be I would for Keith to just hang out.
I'd be trying to decipher what he said. That would be hard enough.
Would you smoke? Would I smoke weed with Millionaire? I know because
I don't. I don't like smoking anything. I'd rather I'd need a gummy
with them? Will you have you have your blood? I'm gonna eat this
gum like a little bit. I would be a little bit. I would
be a little bit. Now that's a good point because Willie's been smoking forever
and he's ninety. I don't smoke weed, but I think I would smoke
weed with Willie Nelson. Do you think so hey he's a Darien Linke tonight?
Yeah? Oh is he part of the Outlaw? Yeah? That's that's
that cloud that came in out. So it was like, do I go
to Outlaw tonight and see Willie? Or like, come hang out with Billy
Kevin. I didn't know you had guys big. That was the thing.
The Willie Show is a great one. I would oh, come on there's
nothing better than you too. Be around next Jerry. We're hoping he'd be
around next year. All right, since we talked about sort of the fun
stuff at training camp, what are you seeing as the future owner of the
Bffalo Bills? Are you feeling? Look a lot of there's rust in the
beginning, right, Yeah, we gotta get the wrong Wednesday. Wednesday,
I was beside myself. It's coming off the you know, you're only as
good as your last game. And the last game was against the Bengals,
and the offense sucked. And on Wednesday, I'm at camp and I'm like,
all right, we got Hardy, you know, Gabe's coming back,
he's supposed to be healthy, got Stephan back, we got Kincaid here,
we got Dawson. Let's see what you're gonna do. They sucked. It
was horrible. The only positive the day was Hardy in the red zone.
And I'm like, Jesus Christ Dorsey, what the freak is wrong with you?
What's wrong with these guys? I mean, it was the first day
at camp. You do something. Of course, I had to remind I
had to be reminded by by my support group around me that it was the
first day and it was just preseason today too. Oh well, Gabe seems
to always drop a few when he's open. And Thursday they got a little
bit better, little you know, better chemistry. Things progress with the offense,
and I thought they looked really good today minus some of the you know,
Dawson Knox and Gabe Davis. I think they're two talented NFL players.
Are they the top ten in their position? No, they're not. Is
Dalton kin Kay gonna be at top ten at the tight end? I think
he is that kids special. Yeah, that kid's got some special talent.
You know, they compare him to Kelsey. I mean, he's got a
lot to prove, but from what you can see so far, there definitely
is a lot of upside to this kid. And the Bills jumping up in
front of the Cowboys, I think it was to grab him. That was
a great move bye by Brandon Bean. I think King Kate. I think
Dorsey has a lot of options. Uh. You know, I was fortunate
enough to when we were talking to see about the other day with being playing
golf, and you know, he said this is he thinks this is the
most talented offense they've had since the nineties, and I agree with them really
yeah. I mean what they've got in terms of depth and where they are.
You know, I like Gabe Davis because he's got a great story.
But the son of a gun's got to catch the easy passage. He makes
a great he does he just you know, it's it's that second down and
it's seven and he drops the four yard pass. He can't drop that.
It's almost as though he got cursed in a way because there was that whole
YouTube. I think it was a Bill's produced video about his training, what
he goes through, how hard he had worked. And it was after the
four catches against Kansas City in the thirteen second game, which was incredible.
I mean, he was phenomenal. At some points he was the only one
opened in the end zone for that one point and were going to throw it
to well, yeah, but I think he had already caught it. That
might have been his fourth catch that that that game, I don't remember.
But it was after that that you saw a lot of hype about him and
all that, and I want to feel like maybe that he had a lot
of shitan well, it is a lot of attention. I don't know what
happened. So if you look back to earlier in the year, he you
know, he's performed. He's a He's a fourth one draft pick for a
reason. Okay, he went to he went to Central Florida for a reason.
Um, you know in that game, he was on and he hit
it, and he hit his stride and he made the catches. But he
is who he is, and it's a matter of you know, look in
your profession, you've evolved in your career. Kevin's evolved in his career.
Yeah, I like to hope I have, so, you know, but
it's a matter if he needs to take that positive and hes to he needs
to take the work ethic to get there, but he needs to amplify it,
right. I mean Jerry Rice was great, but made Jerry Rice phenomenal
at the end of his career, he worked till he talks all the time.
He worked ten times harder at the end of his career that he's at
the beginning of his career. That's what makes greatness. Gabe Davis has to
make work that hard to get to that game. He's got to work toward
that one game because that's what's to find him. You know, it's like,
you know, golf handicaps. Yeah, like golf handicaps. Golf,
the golf handicap, you take your twenty scores, they take your ten best
because that's your potential. You take. Gabe Davis put it as a handicap.
That game is his potential. Everybody has the expectation of that potential.
Now he's got to work to that potential. And we're a jug him based
on that, and god damn it, he better get as a former All
American. I didn't see a lot of camp today. These guys with the
extra padding on popular what's that all about. It's all concussion protocol. Yeah,
so they all have a freaking cushion protocol. In fact, I think
I think at some point in time in the NFL, within the next five
years, that's going to be the helmet. You think, so in the
actual game day game day helmet. Really Aron Rodgers great gazoo helmet that he's
got. Oh you mean the Kelso remember Kelso? Yes, that was,
I mean, this is a much more advanced prototype of that. But essentially
what they what Kelso had then, didn't Steve Tasker have an extra big helmet
too? Or I that was just but they're very similar. Yeah, yeah,
right. And by the way, my hero growing up through through the
high school and then that Bill's early years was was Steve Tasker. That was
my guy. So the first time I met Steve Tasker, I could.
I was like, I couldn't. But you didn't cry? Could? I
did not cry. I couldn't. The pointing part, well, I was
twenty, that was going to cry a twenty. That's what I'm saying.
I'm much more with my feelings now. Yeah, you get the feminist side
nowadays. All right, we'll take a moment when we come back, we'll
ask you about um. One coach said some disparaging things about a former Bill's
offensive coordinator, and that quarterback has stepped it up and said some stuff in
response. And I don't think he's off the mark. I really don't.
We'll get to that in a moment. If you find yourself hurt on the

why I'm playing this because if there was a woman, then you brought up
Sandra Bullock that a grown man would cry, and I was trying to think
who would it be for me? And I'm not so sure it holds today,
which is a terrible awful thing for me to say. No. Diane
Lane, who dated bon Jovi for a very brief period, had some kind
of relationship with bon Jovi, But I always was like, man, Diane
Lane. I had a thing for Diane Lane. And then she played Spider
Man's Yea for Something Right Faithful. She was great in that Yeah, yeah,
under the Tuscan Sun. She was kind of hot in that one Sea
Biscuit. Oh, I don't remember her, and I think you're right,
Yes, I don't remember seeing I'm sure I did. The kids. Yeah,
I still see but I don't remember her in that. Yeah, but
Diane La, that was like more I think about. I think, I
think I would crab if I saw Sandra book even right now. Sandra fifty
nine, Oh my gosh, she's young. She's older than I am.
Yeah, she's fifty nine, but she looks great. Well. I saw
a thing today Donna Mills. Uh, the CBS Sunday Morning shown Mills one
eighty two, Oh my god, eighty two years old, still working,
has a vineyard in La like right on her property in La County. Uh,
making malbacks and different things, but still acting. And clearly she's had
work done on her face. But it's not that she doesn't look distorted in
anyway. It's like the best work I've ever seen. And when they said
she was eighty two, it's like holy shit. And she goes, yeah,
it takes me a long time to get this good. I've got it,
you know, the whole work thing. I mean, so God,
God has created people smarter than me for a reason. And if they can
help my life or someone I care about life, yes, enhanced there you
go. Why not utilize I say, the same thing I can give you
know, you gotta walk around. Yeah, it's gonna make you feel a
little more confident. Go for it. Yeah, sometimes it goes too far
and it doesn't always come out good. It's a risk, but that's their
choice. Yes, and then I choose whether they want to if I like
it or not. Like I am I'm I am all in favor of people
having the ability to to use the talents of others to their benefits and enhance
their life. God bless them. Before we get the text, it was
secretariat and not smiss Yes, okay um. I love that about Kevin.
He always is you know, little research. You know. The greatest thing
is now we've got I think about it right there, and there's no reason
to have a wrong answer ever. Again. I always wonder this though,
Who put it in there? You know what I'm saying himself? Nobody?
How did somebody get it all in there? Like? Will you look up
everything? I asked? Stuff? I said this last week? No,
no, phone's gonna go off again. People get pissed. But I didn't
know what a padawan was. I saw something that said padawan on board or
was it like a annoyed? Is it a star wars? I had no,
I had no clue, no clue. I was watching Star Wars before
I came out here today. I'm of course. So I'm sitting I'm looking
at this thing, and I'm sitting at a traffic late and I say,
hey, Sarri, what's And then that was it. Yeah. It's the
fact that we have all this information in front of us and we don't even
have to do anything. I don't see type anymore. I can just ask.
So our generation is I think appreciates the access that it has. Yes,
where our kids generate like Luke, yeah, you know what I mean.
But we had encycled people had to go. We had to go back
to the blue book on the shelf. Yes, the salesman they came in
and then like Star won a week for twenty six weeks, oh my god
dollar. Yeah, and then he had the big boxes showed up and you
had to put him in. We had to buy a bookshelf to put him
on, all right, and we did our book reports from all those things.
Yeah that was now. Now my favorite kids they got AI. Yeah,
Ai. They can write stuff for you. Oh you can always tell
though, I order stuff Flower. My mom tries to google stuff all the
time, and it's annoying. She'll google something, She'll find a website.
Oh they sell this here on that website from twenty fourteen. It's not there.
Stop gurgling it, all right. So, Greg, when it comes
to is there a would you say there's a coaching fraternity in the NFL and
sort of a respect And then what happened this week with Sean Payton kind of
calling out Nathaniel Hackett and saying at one point, I mean, he put
the blame on a lot of people, and even Russell himself a little bit,
but just saying he wasn't putting good positions and then names Nathaniel Hackett is
one of the worst coaching performances he's ever seen. I don't know that you
can argue with that, by the way, I really don't. The Broncos
fans certainly would not argue that. I don't think Nathan Petermants must be that
name. Maybe. Now, Nathaniel Hackett was here for a little while.
I remember interviewing him and he said, call me Nathaniel. Mike. I
was talking to my father and he said, your name is Nathaniel, so
please call me Nathaniel like that. Yeah, not Nate. Okay, uh,
and he was fine. I didn't. I mean they weren't around long.
That coaching staff was not around long. Correct. And then he's gone
on. He was with Green Bay, became the head coach of Denver,
and I really think they had him there to try to get Aaron Rodgers.
I think Green Bay or Denver was really trying to get Aaron Rodgers. And
then they just went all right, we'll get Russell Wilson. He's almost as
good. They love their end of the career quarterbacks. Well, I mean
I really did think that that was sort of the move I thought I would.
I mean I would think the way that it went down is that that
seemed to be the play that they were trying to get and then it just
didn't work. And so Russell was the next best option, right, and
they thought, hey, he he possesses a lot of the same characteristic says
Aaron. And and and it worked when when Nathaniel was there, when Hackett
was there with him. But man, that was a fucking disaster and it
was so bad disaster. It was so bad horrible. Uh so here is
so now of course this has gone around. And then he had some things
to say about the Jets organizations after that, which I thought was hilarious that
I did too. I did only because it's an acas. It's the Jets,
okay, but and their favorite they're you know, you look at many
of the national everywhere. You look at the national like commentary, and the
Jets. The Jets are the favorite to win the AFC East. There still
Jets, they're the favorite. But if you look at the national, if
you look at the national commentary, yes, the Jets are favored to win
the AFCAS. They are. They are. Not only that. I did
see something today too where somebody was putting together a trade with the Tampa Bay
Bucks of some kind to get Mike Evans and the Jets uniform. And yeah,
well and and they're trying to see what they can do with um uh
well, Dalvin Cook came up the other day, and then you got Jonathan
Tayler who just said he wanted to trade out of Indie. And now the
Jets are rumored into that whole discussion, which feeds right in the Sean Payton's
comment. Yeah about the Jets, they go all in. They better freaking
win because if not, they're gonna be in hell like the Rams. Well
This is what I can tell you about the New York media, and everybody
up here in Rochester knows a little bit about the New York media because we're,
you know, the suburb of the New York City. In Week one,
the Bills play the New York Jets on Monday, September eleven. And
by the way, that ticket is the hottest ticket in New York City the
last ten years. Believe that, I absolutely believe the hottest ticket. Yeah,
what's a Monday night game. It's a Monday night game. It's Monday,
September eleventh. Yes, how is that too? Jets and Giants?
Though, I mean taking the Bills out of it, How is it not
the Jets for the eleven because they're playing on the East? Is playing the
East this year? Yeah? So what the reason is? What I heard
was that that the marquee game is Jets Bills. Yeah, it's not Jets
Giants Jets Giants, right, it's not because the Giants have their own marquee
game. But the Jets marquee game is against the Bills. That's their teams,
the FC East Division champs right now, right two years in a row,
and they've been battled and the and the Jets have had the Bills number.
They've beaten them even you know, even when they both sucked, the
Jets would win, the Bills would win. They'd go one on one,
right, I mean for twenty years they are one on one against each other.
So they've had this back and forth and so that marquee game. And
then let's put this way, if Josh Allen wasn't the quarterback of the Bills,
it probably would have been the Giants. But you got Josh Allen.
I mean, he's an international superstar. You got the mar Hamlin who was
an international superstar. And and you know the Bills are our top team in
the AFC. And and what's the one way for the NFL to then make
their largest market get relevance. Put them on the biggest stage against a popular
team. And if they win, holy shit, that Jets are gonna be
huge. If they lose, the media is going to penal. And there
break into the media started talking. Now sh here is Aaron Rodgers on NFL
Network, And I think this might have been from last week. I'm thinking,
but I don't know. It could have been over the weekend. Him
talking about Nathaniel Hackett, and the comments of Sean Payton his back, He's
always had yours. Yeah, I love Nathaniel Hackett, and those comments were
very surprising. Um to for a coach to do that to another coach.
My love hat goes deep. You know, we had uh some great years
together in Green Blay, kept in touch. UM love him and his family.
He's an incredible family man, incredible dad. And on the field,
you know, he's arguably my favorite coach I've ever had in the NFL.
Just his approach to it, how he makes it fun, how he cares
about the guys, just how he goes about his business with respect, with
leadership, with honesty, with integrity. And it made me feel bad.
And someone who's accomplished a lot in the league is that insecure that they have
to take another man down to set themselves up for some sort of out of
line, inappropriate and I think my coaches names out of his mouth, keep
chief coach. I didn't I didn't mind that in a way. There was
no reason. Look, everybody saw what Nathaniel Hackett. He laid a giant,
rocky mountain size turd. He did it. It was over. Was
it manufactured for hard knocks? Do you think totally. Oh Peyton said,
Hey, for hard Knocks, you think totally. Look at you conspiracy theorist
over there, don't come on, well, I mean it's not as other
conspiracy. It's just that, like, look, Sean Payton is an opinionated,
competitive guy. He is a super competitive guy. And so he took
his lady franchise and turned it around. And this whole thing is that this
team is talented, and so you got to blame the people who are the
leaders of a talented A lot of dirt about and Bill Belchick, I don't
want to say too much, but I desert some dirt about it, and
so you know bad And the other thing is that what you know, what's
a good way to distract? So number one, Russell Wilson, the den
of last year, like confidence destroyed. I agree, all off season they're
hammering, hammering Russell Wilson. Yeah, I mean we don't hear about it
here in Rockster. What did he care about Rocks? We don't give a
about it. He's got the ins No, But I mean I think Greg's
right because you know the Denver media, then Denver's a metropolitan big shitty man
and they've got twenty four hours sports talk out there. They've got rock stations
that are focused on Denver, you know, on on the Broncos and yeah,
yeah, you got all the sports there. Any of your listeners that
are NFL like junkies and watch NFL Network, listen to NFL radio. They
were hammering him all off season, Russell Wilson hammering him, and it's like,
you know, and so when when when Hacket gets you know, can
and he should have and then he ends up in New York and then all
of a sudden they get Aaron Rodgers is like, yeah, okay, here
you go. This is what the whole plan was. And sala You know,
I like Salah. Salah's my kind of coach man. He's a freaking
aggressive. Yeah, he's an animal, but he seems to be able to
pick his spots. He didn't weigh in on this at all. He's got
class. That's kind of what I like. He's got class. Now Rodgers,
now, I know, I can't why Aaron Rodgers. Why because I
think he's an arrogant, pompous motherfucker. But he wins. No, he
doesn't. Wow. He's one once one two MVPs oh for three six,
come on to night. That's a lot. Hey, yeah, look,
it's all about winning. Yes, it is in the end, it is
in your last game. And he and he was such a neanderthal in Green
Bay, and he's you know, he had so much influence over this and
that and receivers, and you know, he was holding out and he's making
life miserable. I mean, in all honestly, I'm not a Packers fan.
He's the worst kind of teammate I't ever want to play with. He's
a freaking neander fill I mean, he's all this, he's he he's a
princess. He wanted his way say okay, you're right, which is another
I was in a huge bright fire fan. Now do we do we think
that that stuff's really true or is it somewhat manufactured? Do we? And
we hear that he didn't have a great relationship with the front office. He
didn't end up calling out gms and different things. He's he spoke his mind.
He did say things. Uh, but does that stuff get blown out?
Are we not hearing the other side? I think it's better to kind
of handle that stuff in the house myself. Look, man, I mean
he became kind of his own brand. I'm Italian and Irish. Right,
you got an issue with combination, You got an issue within your family.
See Greg fight with himself, he gets all the time. You know,
you gotta issue with your family. You take it, you take it,
take care of it within your family. You don't take it out, agree
with it. He takes it outside. And I just don't you know,
I'm not a huge I just don't like Aaron Rodgers. I think do I
think he has talent? Sure he does. You know him being in New
York makes me even more furious because he's in the AFC East and we just
gotta win the goddamn conference, right. I mean, look, I sit
here after the fourth day at training camp, and today was a good day's
beautiful sunny day. If you can get out the training camp, get out
there, it's a ton of fun. You're right, clothes. You gotta
win the AFC East. Yeah, you go. Does not look like an
easy task. It is this year with with Aaron Rodgers there, now it's
not. And then you got the Dolphins and you know they don't look like
a pushover. Dolphins are not. I mean the Dolphins defense is, it's
it's not as quite as good as the Jets, but they're tight. And
you know, if you were to if you were to look at the defenses
in terms of talent right now, I would say the Bills are three because
our our mic linebacker is unproven and it's unsettle AFC. The whole AFC top
the bottom, with the exception of maybe two or three teams. Any one
of those teams could win the conference. I agree. I agree. And
the fact that the Bills are playing the Jets in week one, yeah,
holy shit, Yeah, this is exciting. What are you going down for?
That One's gonna be down all weekend. I think I'm going down Saturday.
Yeah, I'm gonna be there in the city for the weekend. That's
a smart move if I think it's Yeah, I mean it's I mean,
that's a that's a I mean it's week one, and it's like, what
a freaking huge game because it's a conference game game, it's a Monday night
game, and you know, and and the other thing is that if the
Bills win that game, if they can pull that out, which I think
is a huge it's it's a hurricanelean task. It really is to go in
New York we've we've never played the Jets well in New York, even in
the shitty years. Uh if if, if you if, if the Bills
come out and don't have to win, my expectations that they're not gonna win,
that's gonna be one of their four losses in my opinion, the first
game, the opening game, opening games, can be one of their four
losses. I think I think the Bills are gonna end up you know,
thirteen and four, okay, and I think that's one of their four.
Wow. But it's gonna but it's gonna suck. I mean, you're going
in, you have no idea what the Jets are gonna bring. You got,
you know you got you got the offensive rookie MVP, you got the
defensive rookie MVP. Yes, And would you know the people have sophomore slumps?
They do you know? Or the pressure the pressure could be so big
leading up to that game. I mean, it really could in New York
where these guys are and nobody lives in a bubble anymore, just don't.
I mean, I know that the idea of stay focused, keep the you
know, the radio off, don't look at the papers, don't go online.
These guys are all have Twitter handles, Yeah, they're um. You
know the thing, you know, the thing for me is that Aaron Rodgers
much I can't stand the son of a bitch. Is that he is talented.
Yes, and you know they always say the defenses are ahead of the
offenses early in the season, which I completely agree. But the thing about
Aaron is that it's just instinct and and you know, you see the highlights.
You know, I'm watched way too much NFL Network all the plays he
has. You know, they're in the red zone, he's making throws.
What's his name? They're rookie while he's a sophomore. Now the offensive MVP,
how's his name? Offensive got him freaking the Jets. Sauce Gardner.
Yeah, Sauce Gardner was the defensive MVP. Anyways, you know they're already
connecting, They're already having some some some chemistry. You know. You know,
von Miller's not gonna be ready in week one, you know, I
mean, I think the best case scenario for him is coming back a Wilson
Wilson and Garrett Yeah, is coming back after the Bills are in Jacksonville.
I think the Giants game is their third game in October. If von can
get back at that game, I think that's huge. I think that's early.
I mean he has the same exact injury that that that Tredevious White had.
Tredivious White came back Thanksgiving, he got hurt and Thanksgiving. Von Millie
get hurt and Thanksgiving. If he comes back mid October, I think that's
gonna be huge. But you've got six weeks or so without Vaughn and that
first game against Aaron Rodgers. Without Vaughn, you're gonna have Russeau. You'll
have uh, Leonard Floyd, by the way, in the first four practices,
the guy is a is a mountain. Really, Oh my god.
He he is super quick. He's everything we want Greg Russo to become.
Okay, and you talk about von Miller being a great tutor to a guy
like Rousseau. Yeah, Um, seeing Leonard Floyd out there, He's got
the height that Russou has, which is, you know, when you're that
lanky, it's hard to have that quickest and that speed. Von's a little
bit shorter, his legs are freaking enormous, by the way, Uh,
with that quick speed, Floyd is more built like Russo, but he is
super freaking quick and watching him play, having him there with Vaughan ultimately at
the end of the season, that is the ideal. And you know,
really coming in, I think the key of the Bill season is not the
first is not the first six weeks. I think I think the first six
weeks are gonna be brutal. I always loved one of the brutal the first
couple of games, and it's like the first three weeks, right, people
start to base the season and you can't. It's you can't because it can
go. Look, anything can happen. It's a long season. It's an
even longer season now, right, seventeen games that anything can happen. Injuries
that wasn't the Steelers like two or three is going to start off like right.
So so for me the Bills, you know, the first half of
the season for the Bills looks tough. It's hard for me. The Bills
are going to prove themselves and win the AFC East from from Election Day to
New Year's Day. Okay, where's Jets campus is still in Courtland? No
Jets campus in them is outside the meadowlands. I'm not sure exactly where did
the teams send guys to all the different camps from their divisions. So the
interesting thing. So the interesting thing is that if there's an open practice,
then other teams can be there. If it's a closed practice, then they
can't. Um, they can't videotape. You know, this is like peewee
football. You can't videotape the practice, but you can whatever is whatever is
in the media social media, then is freed everybody. M McDermott has a
rule that if you're there, you're not supposed to be videotaping. Do they
give the teams access or they just amongst No, they have to. They
have to gain access, just like every other fan. So you know,
Kevin was busting my balls when we got on the tickets. He's like,
yeah, I've got you know Bill Belichick, Yeah, he parts going in
the bill first Sunday night. But they gotta get act. They got to
gain access the same way as everybody else. Um. So yeah, it'll
be The AFC East is definitely the hardest division in the NFL. Right now,
we'll take a moment in front of ours has a headache on their hands.

own intro music. Oh yeah, you did that at the Imperial March from
Star Wars. This is uh Sam Spens over the Hill Gang introduction. Yes,
it's from the old NFL. Yeahs at Sam Spenz. So you know,
we live in a world where you don't have to put up with too
much shit anymore, and you probably should be more aware of what you're saying.
There's a guy they were very popular this He was part of a duo
was Don Geronimo and Michael Mara was done Mike and they were syndicated out of
DC and they had all kinds of fights with our friend Opie. They had
a big classic fight. I think it was because at one point, like
they said, they were gonna be live in New York in the afternoon drive,
which is what they were around the country and in DC, and that's
where Opie and Anthony were, and they were basically they were saying that it
was gonna put Opie and Anthony in the morning, and Opie and Anthony knew
they weren't going to mornings because they had come from Boston and were originally supposed
to be on the same station as Howard, and even though CBS owned everything
or Infinity, Howard wouldn't let him in the building. He didn't want him
on his station. At all, So they knew that they were That's why,
that's why when Opening and Anthony got fired, they were making they had
a fifteen million I think they were making three million a year. Oly.
Shit. They were paid not to work because they were suspended. Right,
So they have the sex for Sam. They had people have sex at different
spot, different places. It was all sponsored by Sam Adams and somebody.
One of the places was Saint Patrick's Cathedral and people had sex in the back
of the cathedral and they did it on the radio. And that's why that
I mean, it became outrage right, they got so it blew up.
Well, what Infinity didn't want was them to go to what was Clear Channel
at the time on in New York because they really thought this would be the
first time any this would have been the first real challenge to Howard Stern in
his home turf, on his home turf. So they they decided to just
pay him and keep him off the air. They couldn't do anything. They
signed deals, They couldn't he Opie couldn't even come on WEISA show when he
was in town like we were up at the Montreal Comedy Fest broadcasting line and
Hope he was there, he couldn't come near a microphone. Yeah, so
that was that was part of the three million dollars a year. Yeah,
he got paid three million dollars a year, so that that that was there.
And then they got in a fight with Don and I think that's why.
And so there was a lot of ugliness there. And then Don had
his wife on the show a lot. She gets killed in a car accident
coming back from their summer home, which I think was in Bethany Beach or
somewhere, Yeah, and Ocean City. I think like somebody. It was
actually like someone let's say going east on the Thruway. She's headed west on
the Throuway. They went up over a barrier and I think landed on her.
Yeah, so she Yeah, how long ago is that I got years,
probably twenty years ago now, Oh my gosh. So he just didn't
want to do that show anymore. I think it was too hard, and
she had been on it a lot. Their son had been on it with
them a lot, and like he would call them and all this stuff,
and uh, he went out west and I think did his own show in
Sacramento for a while, and then he went back in DC and he was
he was doing a podcast. He had his own podcast for a while too,
five or six years, okay, and then he uh, I don't
know how that happens. So then from what I understand, like he's a
big name in the DC market. So he was back, and it was
just in the news last week that he inked a two year extension on this
deal with iHeartMedia. And then on Friday he got fired because of this incident
that happened at Commander's training camp. This is new tonight. Two local radio
DJs were barred from attending Watchington Commander's training camp today. The duo from Big
one hundred were live on the air while cat calling a local sports reporter.
Yeah, cat calling, Well, are they work in construction? This is
what I thought too, And I don't know, like we'll here, we'll
actually hear the commentary, and again you're hearing it. I don't like to
say it this way, but out of context, what I said off air
to you guys was I think that these guys might have been snubbed by her
for an interview, so they were being he was being a day. That's
what I think. Only having done this so long, I've seen guys do
this and go, oh yeah, yeah, you know, because I think
she's a fairly established sports reporter at this station in this market. All r
Adam Longo is here now with more details on what we know about this,
Adam, Yeah, this happened to one of our sports reporters. So Charlotte
McBride, who showed up yesterday to cover the first day of Commander's training camp
in Ashbourne, and with the Commander's organization longing to turn the page on the
Dan Snyder era of missogyny and sweeping things under the rug team leadership jumped in
right away with apologies and action. Big one hundred point three radio personality Don
Geronimo and his producer on air sidekick Crash Young weren't allowed to broadcast from Commander's
training camp Friday morning. Hayle, Barbie's here him, Barbie girl. Yeah,
all right, okay, all right, she's a cheer well broadcast messing.
She's a cheerleader. Oh now, I think there's no way that these
guys don't know who she is. Yeah. I don't have any proof of
that, but I would think that this woman is on a pretty big station
in the market, and I think she was there for seventeen years. Oh
I think, I mean Kevin just showed us a picture. Yeah she's attractive.
Yeah, yeah, she's she's a pre blond yeah thing. Live on
Thursday, the two men made offensive and derogatory comments on the air about WUSA
nine sports anchor Charlotte McBride. Oh hey, there's that ship that you thought?
He said type Yeah, I screamed tight. When I screamed tight when
she walked by is hell And he just said I didn't hear that earlier.
Holy shit, dude, all right, if I mean, come on hit
the radio station called me up for legal advice, I'd say, you gotta
you gotta fire them. Yeah, yeah, you can't. No, no,
particularly given everything's going on the whole commandization. Yes, well that the
commanders wanted him out. The new president. Yeah, new owner. I
want this controversy's running my team. They're not even part of art. I
think the guy who is? I think she's a sportscaster at Channel nine yeah
or Channel so. Yes, she's familiar. I thought she was a cheerleader.
Last year under the Dan Snyder era, the Washington Commander signed a three
year partnership deal with iHeartMedia, which owns Big one hundred point three and a
number of other local radio stations. Now that's a friend of Art that would
be involved in that deal because he's the president of that network. And I
don't I mean, look, that has no no reflection on them. They
did what they had to do. They didn't tell these guys to say,
this ship this is and this is an experience look broadcasting, so being dudes.
Yes, and Daniel Snyder had I think had an atmosphere around his team.
Yeah, like dudes in that commentary to me is reflective of the atmosphere
that Daniel Schnyder probably had around the team. Uh that that wouldn't say,
you're wrong because I know Don was involved with the team when he was part
of Don and Mike, and I think Schnyder owned back then. Yeah,
yeah, and so that kind of stuff, you know, I mean,
hey, he says it, why can't I say. When the new Commander's
ownership group, led by Josh Harris, heard about Thursday's comments by Geronimo and
Young were told team president Jason Wright was fuming, a Commander spokesperson telling WUSA
nine, quote, we have worked hard to ensure that everyone feels safe and
respected. In our workplace, and we took swift action when we learned that
an employee of our partner, iHeart made sexually disparaging remarks too and about a
member of the media while she was broadcasting live from training camp yesterday. iHeart
and the individual were not permitted to broadcast from training camp today, and we
will continue to work collaboratively with iHeart to address the issue. I also spoke
to Aaron Highland, the DC region president for iHeartMedia, and he told me
quote, we are taking this matter seriously and currently reviewing it internally now.
I talked to Charlotte a few hours ago to night, who said she was
hurt and incredibly offended that after seventeen years as a journalist, comments like that
discredit who she is and what she does as a professional. Apparently the radio
duo was talking about her while she was doing interviews with members of the team.
She called it inappropriate, unprofessional, and embarrassing. I'm gonna tell you
both you and I know this smart experience and working with television. You know
women in TV deal with misogyny from all different angles. You're not supposed to
have it. You don't expect it to come from your peers. Now the
team appears to be taking steps to make it right. We will see what
action comes from the radio stance. Just to reiterate, this wasn't a hot
mic situation. This was part of their broadcast. This was part of the
broadcast yesterday morning. So I disagree with them in one respect. What's that
he said? Oh, we don't expect that to happen within our peers,
within the industry, particularly certain industries. That's part of the Some people,
depending on your generation, view that it's part of the entertainment. Yeah,
it's a shockjock thing. Yeah, definitely. And you know, a part
of it is making yourself relevant, right. Entertainment is about relevancy and saying
something something that is funny. Most often you know Bert Kreisher, girl,
Yes, yeah, but he says shit that you don't expect, and that's
what makes it funny. Right, And these guys were probably, I'm thinking,
been doing it for a while, and I mean I'm familiar with who
they've been. They're they're trying to be funny, they're trying to make themselves
relevant. Well. The other thing is too, is I'm thinking about this,
if you're talking about this woman like here, comes Barbie girl. But
you're not saying who it is. How does anybody listen to this? You
know what I mean? And so what's the benefit other than it's a pretty
it's it's obviously a pretty blonde because you said Barbarie girl. But outside of
that, I don't get the I don't even get the point of bringing it
up when it's you know, unless it's somebody. That's why I think they
were They asked her to come on, and I think she said no.
So and for I think of it not being in the industry, being outside
the industry is that they're trying to be funny. So they're trying to describe
a hot, attractive woman, yeah, to make everybody understand what's going on,
what they're seeing, without identifying or thinking. If I don't identify her,
get in trouble. And then they did, they go there, I
think she's the reporter. Yeah. And then and then the idiot says,
I remember that's when you're out of camp. This goes for you. When
everybody coming out of the camp always looked fat brown neck up that brown who
by the way, did you no I heard about it? I didn't.
I didn't. I wasn't. I didn't do it. He didn't know.
I watched skipped it. I heard it got skipped. I saw him.
I saw that afterwards, and we talked about it. Okay, great.
So I saw him mention it on whatever he's doing with Channel eight, and
I was he and another guy doing h Yeah, his his sidekick. I
can't remember his name is. So then they talked about this and he said,
I thought I was gonna catch it. I positioned myself and it skipped
and they hit it. But he felt did he fall and knocked him?
All? It took It took him by surprise. Yeah. And what he
said was he when he thought he was gonna be able to get it,
but when it skipped, it skipped higher and it actually came up and hit
him in his chin, his chin right and beneath the chin, like in
his throat area, which and I was like, Josh, I'm like that,
that's Josh Hamil throwing him. He's not gonna skip. Liked me throwing
the ball. Didn't He get train wrecked a couple of years ago on the
sidelines during a game. Somebody run him over. Yeah, yes, that
is true. It's a tough gig. Yeah, he Well, that's put
himself out there, man, Yes, he does. He does put himself
out there because I know other reporters who do not put down there on the
side that reason. He you know, he's throwing it on. He's ready
to get in there and mix it up. You know who never went down.
I always took the hit Bull. Bull always came up, shoulder up
and took him right back down. You're kidding. This is a big dude.
I don't remember. I don't remember it comes to Bull. I knew
Bull. I knew Bull had done a lot of sidelines stuff for the Bill's
radio network for a number of years. And but so he may have budgers
one time, just did he? Yeah, that's so get him over and
riders. I did see something than the New York Post that I thought I
should run this by Greg, And I know Greg has strong feelings about this
and it has nothing to do with football. But it is a workplace thing.
Now, this was a workplace thing that we just heard sort of with
John Don Dronimo in these comments. Uh, this is something that happens at
work. Um. I have been somebody who has I married somebody I worked
with. I know that's usually not always thought of highly of kay I did
too, but we were married before we worked together. Somebody whole scenario.
I had a consensual affair with my boss, but I've broken up with him.
Now he's treating me poorly around the office, making it impossible for me
to stay. Do I leave or report him? I still care about him,
And somebody wrote this is just one of many reasons why companies frowned upon
boss is having intimate relationships with any one of their staff. This relationship was
a bad judgment on his part, not great on yours rights whoever's giving the
advice for the post. But what's worse is for him to treat you poortally.
Now, depending on your company's policy, you could both be in trouble
for having the relationship. He certainly Kennon should lose his job over how he's
mistreating you now, well depends on how how what he's mistreating that. That
doesn't really get into that. I mean, if he's just well she's saying,
it's yes, treating me poortally around the office. It could be things
like taking accounts away if you're a salesperson and giving them to somebody else where.
They restructure it. I mean they're coming any number of things and just
making it out now as a business owner, and I know you, I
know you have strong feelings about this, and I think they're legit. I
mean, when it's consensual, yes, it's good, right. And when
it's not good, yes it's not consensual. No. And what people need
to always appreciate is that everybody wants it to work out, yes, but
it rarely works out, does really work out? Sometimes it works for twenty
eight years and then all of a sudden it doesn't right and it was consensual,
and then it's that's a The reason why employers have rules or circumstances against
it is because you're always planning for the worst case scenario. And that's a
worst case scenario. And it's and I'm not saying that. I would never
say that her perspective about being treated improperly or unfairly is wrong, because that's
why she feels. But that's a that's a subjective assessment unless you can quantify
it. And if you can quantify it, then that's a whole nother level.
But I can't imagine anybody, in my opinion, that has a relationship
with someone in their workplace and you're a superior to that individual. Yeah,
just just make sure that you understand that your job will will end. Period.
It's gonna end. Yeah, it's gonna your end happily, or it's
gonna end abruptly, but just know it's gonna end, and you you will
have no control over it. It just won't. I mean it's because if
if if this person, if these were an attorney in my office and a
staff mean my office, and she came to me that occurred, who male
female attorney, male female staff member, doesn't matter. The the superior can't
stay, They've got to go. I mean, that's that's the role in
the employment is that you have the upper hand. The other person is the
If it was like the higher up was a woman, that would be awesome
because I think it traditionally it's just it doesn't, but it's it's it happens,
and it's there and you know when. And the whole thing is consent,
you know, consensual when you're a subordinate, can you really consent to
certain circumstances in certain situations and they and in my perspective is is that you're
there's a there's an element of duress that undermines consent. And so for me,
can you really consent when the person has control over your future, your
life, and your business and your lifestyle, in your employment. And the
question is for me, is that they really somebody's subservient to me? Can't
do that? I would? I could. I could never ever in my
life imagine having a relationship with somebody who works for me, because they will
always have Oh, it's consentsual? Was consentual? Well, it's because we're
together. If we're not together, whether by your choice or my choice,
and whether the circumstances all of a sudden, the dynamics and the power change,
well I'm always the boss. Yeah, that's never going to work out.
Well, it was period. It's interesting you say that because there was
a guy that I always kind of looked up to, these guys in radio,
and I got to know one of them sort of well. And then
he retired and it was a show in San Diego called Jeff and Jare,
And I was always impressed with this guy, Jared, because he negotiated all
their contracts and they were making millions of dollars in San Diego, millions,
And he used to say all the time he goes. It's great. I
wear shorts every day. They were seventy five degrees. But Jare started a
relationship ship with the general manager woman, a female general manager, and she
left the job to maintain the relationship once it started to get kind of serious
and stuff. She left. Now, I don't know as a general manager,
I garangee she wants to make it way he was making only because right
they're bringing in the revenue. They were a great radio show. But yeah,
she left, So I know. I know a couple of the work.
I know a couple of individuals that met during work and the relationship blossomed
and they were serious, and then one of one of the two of them
left to go to someplace else. Because that was in terms of healthy relationships
and preserving the professional integrity of each of them. It's almost the best way
to go when when you have a superior Yeah, it's it's it's just ugly.
I could never I mean I'm a single person right now, I would
never. I could never imagine day or being in a relationship with anybody that
reported to me, or even reported to somebody in my office that didn't even
have a direct report to me. Right and never I couldn't. I couldn't
fathom that at all. Ever, it's it's I always wondered, like,
you know, growing up and going to a public school, you dated girls
you went to school with, so that was your job. You'd sort of
you know what I'm saying, You went to college and you kind of dated
girls that were on the campus and things where I always think back, like
my dad went to an all guys school and at the time all guys college.
Fisher was all guys at the time, so when they dated, they
went you know what I'm saying, Like, and I wonder if like that
was even your mentality work Well, I go out, I don't know here,
this is where I work, this is what I where. I wonder
if the walls or the lines of that got blurred over the years, because
you do see a lot of relationships. I mean, I can think of
a number of people at least in radio that ended up married, that had
worked together and then ended up marrying. Well, I mean in terms of
trying to trying to meet people, Yeah, particularly when you're in your twenties
or thirties and you're trying to figure out who do you like and do you
have common interest, you have you know, common values, integrity, character,
You're gonna you know, you work with somebody eight hours a day,
right where you're not going to spend more time with somebody you don't than when
you work with somebody. Um. But I think if that blossoms and you
meet that person and it's developing, then one of you makes a decision in
terms of your career path. Is that who's gonna, you know, take
a different path outside of that employment relationship, because that, to me is
the best best path to take and it's the safest and uh yeah, okay,
but I want to meet somebody, you know, you meet another lawyer,
or meet another somebody in the legal field, and the legal field that
right, somebody that can understand get it that right, Meet somebody in the
radio industry and or sales. You know, they get that, they know
what you have to go through. They understand it. You get that,
and then you kind of, you know, you take your own independent paths
as your subordinate no longer consent to check out my ass studio can't help it
so big. It like trying to look out the window. I don't all
right, We'll take a moment when we come back. We got to check
in with our friend Race and Randy. He was down at Butler today.
I would have gone, but I had some other things come up that needed
my immediate attention. But he had rides all set up for me to get
in some drag cars, and I think it would have been a passenger and
that's not always my favorite. Like I'd like to be in control. Yeah,
that's my If I'm gonna drag, if I'm gonna get that fast,
I want to be in control. I have to tell you like drag racing,
and I don't want to say this to Randy. I went down with
Jordan and I. Yeah, we saw some great cars. We were right
in the middle of the track. But it's cool, but it's not to
me. Yeah, because I go, you're just shooting like a rocket.
I want to see how you can handle a turn. I want to be
Yes, I love. That's the kind of shit I like, but I
like doing it. I want to do it more than watch it. Even
Yeah. I was at the Glen a couple of years ago with the boys
and we had one of the NASCAR drivers take us in a passenger car.
Yeah, and he freaking hammered it. And that was so much fun at
this But when I got done, I was like, fuck, I want
to try that. I want to do it. I want to do it.
Not with my car, No, but I think somebody else's car.
I gotta. I'll tell you what. No, I'll tell you what.
So you can go down there. Now. Our friend Kevin van Waukenberg from
the little speech Shop, he sets up down there every summer and now he
has retro fitted a couple of cars with roll caches that you can rent no
shites, and he'll be in here next week. I don't remember what night
he's coming in. I gotta double check my calendar, but he'll be here
next week and be able to tell us all about it. Oh, but
you can go down there and rent the car. And I would say,
if you've if that's something you want to try, you gotta, you gotta
do it. It's it's so much fun. Make sure you get the insurance
too, That's the thing. It's like, I don't know what the insurance
on these are and and their cars, but my life is my life.
Returns policies paid up. My boys are okay, But I mean there's always
that thing too, like when you're coming up on the wall. Oh yeah,
you gotta go straight at it and then turn last minute, you know
what I mean. And that's where core muscle and driving is like a big
deal because think of anybody who what do they do? They drift when they
make turns, Like you'll see it. Look, make a turn on any
road anywhere in Monroe County and you're gonna see somebody leaning a little bit.
You can't do that, and you'll see a lot of flaws in the And
it's almost very similar to boxing in that you've got to keep your arms.
You're supposed to keep your elbows in on your ribs and kind of hold it
here, and you're supposed to be like right on top of that wheel when
you drive. And uh, it's it's a cool thing. It's a cool
thing to experience. I think we have to go down, Greg, Yeah,
I think we have it. I think we have to definitely make sure
my leven serve policy is paid up. And my kids are gonna be sure
that that is paid. They're gonna cut the brake lines. Mac of all

Nobody in the Sun goes down. Her name's boice is summer. Don
Henley Kevin's is one of the best songs about summer. I would say it's
angst people agree with you, I would agree, yeah. Written by Don
Henley with the original music is what's his name Mike Campbell with the Heartbreakers,
and he brought it to Tom Patty and Tom's like, I have nothing before
this, and so I think it was Iavine was over and he said,
listen, I know this guy, Don Henley's looking for stuff for his first
solo. He wants to do a solo album. And I guess I don't
know much about Don Henley. I guess he can be rather prickly. So
Mike Camell goes in and plays him the music. Like he goes. I
walk in. It's a big, long like dining room table. He's sitting
in one end, and he goes, I basically put a lot of boom
box, put in the tape, play it and he goes, all right,
great, thanks, I leave. And then it's later on I find
out that Boys of Summer he used that to right, Boys of Summer,
and he has writing a great song. I got to check in the all
right, right. One of the Boys of Summer is rac and Randy was
down to South Butler today doing some drag racing. Randy, Yes, we
did we had We had a great We had a great day today, a
lot of cars, a lot of people, and the weather was absolutely perfect
today. And we got a little bit of help because the track it's called
Esta down a cis roll. All the rain they had yesterday, well it
flooded their fields. They couldn't no cars nowhere, So we got a few
wester cars from there. All right, it was it was a good day
today. We had a lot of great cars and it was a lot of
fun today. You sound like you're a little tired there, buddy. Oh,
look, you know, it's always fun. It's always exciting day.
And sometimes when you get wound down finally you know, ye catch your breath
and has him dinner and catch your breath and stuff like. That's pretty cool.
Yeah, So you know, we had movie. I don't know if
he did yet. No, no, no Hallmark movie. No, no
Hallmark movie. Now did you get in any of these cars and drag?
No? No, I did not, No, I don't. I didn't
do any of that. I just didn't. Actually I did the first couple
of rounds and then I had Mark. I think his name is Brassio.
He is a gentleman that used to do it before I did it when when
the other people had it before, we took it over seven years ago.
And it was an honor to have him there because he's really good. So
let him. Let him do a couple of rounds today. So I got
a chance to, you know, do a couple of other things, talking
to some people. So it was good. You eat the other definitely eat
you know, stuff like that. What did you say? And it was
and it was a lot of fun. It was a lot It was,
you know, nice day today and what it was perfect. They're beautiful,
not too hot. Three. No one got any fights or anything, Randy,
there's no time. No, we don't have none of that. Yeah,
well, training camp, all the training camps around. I haven't really
heard about it at Bills camp, but we saw Kelsey flip out. We
saw some fights. I think even the commanders had something. I think the
Browns had one. So yeah, the Bills have The Bills are going to
pads tomorrow. So they've all been they've just been a T shirt, the
helmets and uh, you know, so that would be tomorrow. There might
be a couple of days it might be a little frustration going. But plus
they've they've been chilling, they've been getting nice cream together, they've been playing
video games. They're they're good. Pads come off tomorrow. Like with Randy's
saying about, you know, they get all the cars out there, you
get that competition going. Never know what's gonna happen. No, you don't,
not at all, Randy. What was the best car out there today?
We had trek record broken today. There was a gentleman but a car
called the Thriller that showed up. I've seen the car at a car show
before. He's never ranted our trick before. I know. He runs a
buddy of mine's track, Rob Goodell's track as Samson. He's ran there before,
I believe. And Rick Ontario, who runs at our track, said
he called me the other day. One of this guy come out and I
said, I don't care the car called Thrillers. He come out and at
Psycho it's almost like a flip body to hit a flip body on it.
He sits in, it comes down to supercharge and he went one hundred nineteen
point three miles an hour today. There there you go back and off,
back and off. He said he wanted he wanted to go one more He
did two runs. The first one was like one hundred and ten. Then
he went one nineteen. He wanted to go to try to go for one
twenty five, but some seal on the supercharger had come apart, and so
he did. He was done for the day, which was fine. The
record pire to that one thirteen nine. Oh see, this is the thing.
It's like Randy loves the drag racing. Yeah, it really that's what
he's all about. And there is a lot that goes into it, the
prepping of it, and his is no prep, but just the prepping of
the car. If you're gonna go, do it right and you've got the
seals and the different stuff. But that's what Randy. I want to get
a couple of laps out of that. I like the I like a road
course. Well I know, yeah, I understand it. I mean that
would be a lot of fun. Don't get me wrong. Road course would
be a lot of fun. Even just doing a NASCAR check would be a
lot of fun, you know, just doing oval, you know, but
so quick doing the drag racing. But it's fun to watch because, as
you know, it's instant, like it was last there were an Empire Yeah,
it's just instant with those with those top fuelers when they went, you
know, and they took off the you know, two hundred and seventy miles
an hour, three point two two seconds and an eighth mile. So so,
Randy, when you introduced the car, the thriller was? Was Michael
Jackson playing in the background on this? No? No know, somebody said
I should have it? Was Py? You missed it, Randy, how
could you not met? Well? Well, but I've never seen any other
track do that, So I'm not missing there are you going? You would
be you the fans. You're gonna enhance the fan experience by having a little,
you know, a little background music. Sometimes you introduce some some personalities
like if I'm gonna introduce you, man, I'm gonna give you an introduction
song. Yes, because Randy's got intro, He's got to have an introduction
song, Joe, what would be what would be your introduction song, Randy,
if you could have one? What would be your walk in song?
Oh? God, I don't even know. I would yeah, probably yeah,
like a city Detroit rocks look it up, rocks city. Okay,
you know something like that, you know, but uh, I mean I
believe me. If I if I could have got somebody with her phone gets
Spotify and her phone real quick, we could have got pulled that up.
We would have today, you know, but I didn't take it. It
was it was it was just cool to have that carve there. You know.
It's just you know, I just get to who knows who'd ever come
back. And I did talk to one gentleman after we got done race,
and I'd never seen his carter before and he chases the country all I would
have doing No Prep Drag race. And the fact he was in North Carolina
last week with my buddy Dave Ryder down at the Nope Big No Prep Race
fig or Diet at Rockingham Drag Away and he was actually there last weekend.
He heard about our place and he came up to our place today. Ladies.
Yeahs for everybody on Tuesday, your nice little rag and get one to
Brandy. I like it'll creep you one from Mark. Anything happening with in
the world of Nascar, buddy, Oh, I know Chris Pusher one today
at Richmond his uh another short His last Shark Trek win was at Bristol last
year and he won Richmond today to three quarter a mile. Ok, I
had a good car. I do know that Brad Keselowski had the best carry
thing, but a problem with the pitch stop coughs him and he end up
pushing six. But it's uh. He is Chris Busher's teammates. So it
was played two top two cards in the top six today, which was good
for them that because it Organizedation's been struggling, so it's good to see them
win. All right, Is it officially no podcast this week? Is Waltking

years ago. Love it, Kevin Harvick. All right, thank you,
Randy, we'll talk to you, guys, see you, everybody'll see you,
Randy. There he goes rac and Randy got more bags and on that.
Love. What are you doing like where I'm in the middle of trying
to talk to somebody and you're showing me a video of a guy with no
arms, no legs, He had no what what Okay? He had arms
up to his elbows, right, yeah, he has no hands. He
has no hands but four to four though he's got more bud roll that he
got lives. But he's thrown he's playing corn hole. Yes, yeah,
this guy's talent. I know, but you understand like a shiny child over
there, like you didn't struggle, I can't you, but you couldn't wait.
You couldn't wait. It was just funny, okay, all right,
he couldn't wait. To show that I had the ability to have that foresight,
I would have showed you. Uh. It sounded like a good idea
at the time. According to the um Times of Wayne County, a guy
from Pittsford has been arrested for harassment in the second degree and possession of stolen
property. This guy is, let me see if I can get an age
on him, thirty two years old. His name is Brandon avery Red Barbie.
No, he didn't. Oh god, I don't even want to say
anything, Kevin. I gotta tell you like I might. I guess I
could say these things now, right because it was many, many years ago.
I don't know. Should we confer offline before you say? Well,
I actually can always I don't know, so we can sell hr before you
all right. No, I'll just say this because it happened and then I
don't know, but it was always it always, like everything fucking came back
to me. It all came to me. So when I was on the
break room, Yeah, um, we had we had heard some story.
I listened to the break room last week on the way to training camp for
the first time since you were on it. Yeah it was that ten years
ago. Oh easily, easily anyway, So tell you, I think I
think they do a really nice job. I was laughing my assa training camp.
It was a good It was a good prepper for me. Yeah,
Tommy is he waited, he waited for your silver approval. Then he said
he loved his ass sucked. Yeah, it sucked. No, I always
left as Tommy. But Greg has See the thing is, he's got his
own opinions of the things. But I do. I I've always liked it.
So, uh, I think we She was referred to as Sticky Nikki
on the air on the on the on the show, it came out over
the air. This came over the air. This is way back back then,
and uh, it kept it kept going on like but I wasn't the
one who said it. It would be Bele said it. Okay, you
know this kind of ship, and we had heard different stories and but this
is what Okay, So I would get a message from her saying that to
cut the ship, and I'm like, could you please? Like it always
came to me, It always came to me. So they were you're the
face of the show, so I watched it though, you're the one how
to check email? So no, this came. This came right to my
phone. So so then I'm like, all right, so I try to
calm it down. It happens again. Now she's threatening she's gonna go to
our bosses, and she hears it again. I don't and I don't blame
her. I don't know. This is the thing, And I kept going,
please, this is the shock jock. This is Tommy being Yes,
he's like, how can how far can he go before somebody's gonna push back?
That's part of what makes him funny is that it's part of it makes
him offensive. Is the same thing. I just got a message your knowledge
ard no longer walk ume at Commander's Camp, Ghost Camp. You're cool,
but I didn't like, I'm just telling you the story. And then there
was like another one with somebody who is now the district attorney. Oh yeah,
where something was said about her and the district attorney at the time who
was a neighbor. Yeah, uh called me up and I didn't say it
again it was him, right, And I got fucking screamed at Greg.
I mean screamed it like I had to pull the phone away at one point
like and and and the person was right. I mean, I can't you
know, but I yeah, I don't know. I won't even say what
was I'll tell you off air what was said on there. And I went,
oh, so there's a thing of called I don't have daughters. I
have two sons, yes, and I have three sons. I I and
I can I can say for my what I try to teach my boys is
that, you know, if you wouldn't say it to your mother, then
don't say it. That's a great point. And and I can only imagine
what was said. Oh yeah, uh and uh. Nicky's got great personality,
she's Nicky's got great energy. Yeah, she's a ton of fun.
She has a lot of fun, she's smart, and she does a great
job. Yeah MC things. She's more than He's great. I think Nikki
rudd Is is more than the news yo. She's a personality. She's a
brand person. And by the way, if you put her in Tommy in
a room together. It would be funny. That would be though. It
would be funny. And I think she and I think she told her own
she would freaking mack him back and he would love it, he would and
it would's as crisis. I was like, let I wouldn't want to be
in a room with Tommy because he would have written it in your ass and
I would be polite and respectful and he wouldn't abide by those rules. Right
back to the original story here. No, that's it's okay, it's my
fault. I sort of did so Brandon, who's thirty two from Pittsford.
It went out early in mid in mid June to an ex girlfriend's house and
he got into a physical altercation with Uh, they're gonna say another male on
the property. I'm guessing it was her new boyfriend. That's what I'm thinking.
Sounds like that Danny story. And he ended up taking this guy's phone
and he sold it to the next day at the Eco atm Kiosk inside the
Hudson Avenue of Walmart. What I didn't even know you could do this.
Huh they got those the Eco old phone you could put it in there,
it'll look your phone over and le'll make sure it's all. Oh, so
it's just there's there's no human there. You drop it in and it does
a whole diagnostic fucking brilliant. What a brilliant dick move. He went out
there, gets in a fight, grabs the guy's phone, and goes to
this no human being. They just scan the phone and wow. And he
did it way out like if the Hudson Avenue Walmart, thinking, who's gonna
there's a lot of hot phone probably at the Hudson Avenue wal First of all,
he lives in Pittsburgh. That's a twenty minute both directions to get the
phone originally and then get rid of it. And then uh, he went
up. I guess he got but obviously he got busted. But I don't
know how. I don't know how they tracked that security cameras at Walmart.
Well, first of all, especially my altercation between him and this guy,
So his phone's missing, and who are you gonna suspect the ex boyfriend?
Yes, and he got find my iPhone and then you find him my iPhone
and then you have it, and then there's security cameras everywhere you look.
You can't do anything without being tracked all the time. You can't do anything
no all the time. Now even my mother now has the ring doorbell.
Oh my god. Yeah, you know, I mean, one of the
most powerful tools for for law enforcement right now. By the way, I
have a good friend whose son is like thirteen, and he and his buddies
were out last weekend playing. You know, they're out playing whatever. You
know, No, well, they're playing like chase or okay, whatever the
hell tag And then that turned into ding dong ditch. You can't do it
anymore. Everybody's got ring doorbass, I know. So he did it.
But then they had like they had uh you know, they have a dog,
and so they had they had the poop bag, and so they did
the poop bag and they lit it on fire, and the guy came out
and they have it on dig doong ditch and they put it on some social
media. Next door neighbor, who is this person? And then they you
know, and his mom and she's a very honorable, wonderful person, saw
it was her on and said you need to go to this neighbor and admit
it. And he went confessed. Now he's with two other buddies. Yeah,
the two guys didn't go. He went on his own and then he
admitted it to the neighbor and he cleaned up and did whatever and paid for
He says, I'll pay for the damages and but but you can't ding them
ditch anymore. But that was you know, it's funny. It's the classics,
the classics. Yeah, we we had a kid. They're thirteen.
It's twenty twenty three, I know, but we had a kid. It's
nice to know that thirteen year olds are still doing I was like fourteen fifty's
the gateway to be I had. I had these friends, the McLaughlin brothers,
and like one of them we had we this is the kid who worked
at the carvel owned it a golf course down there, and he worked at
the golf course. So we took the governor off the golf course. The
golf cart, yeah it was, and we took it and raced it down
the hill as fast as we could. And we had a friend of ours
who's this kid ended up in jail because his dad, this kid, seriously,
his dad was a state trooper and so he came out with the radar
gun and he clocked us. But then he used to when his parents weren't
home and his dad guys going. I think we only got up to like
forty two forty three. I mean, the whole thing was shaking. We
thought, oh my god, I was so scared. And then another time
this kid got in trouble because he looked like he could be a trooper.
He put on his dad's uniform. He was big, he was like six
two, and he had a full mustache and everything, and he went out
in his dad's state trooper car pulled people over ways just just because he was
bored and thought it was funny. He was a seventeen year old kid.
Oh god, that's old man. I think he wound up doing a weekend
in jail, like legitimate. I think he did. For that, I'd
have to go. I am founded them that our I like said, pulled
over the good looking girls. I won't give you a ticket, but you
want to go on to dinner. You're five three. They don't even believe
you were a trade. Hey, this eighth grade. So but we used
there was a kid I'm forgetting his name, and every time we saw him
in the hallway would go boo because he was doing a ding dang ditch.
Are all waiting right where it was his turn to go, and we're standing
there. He runs up and just as I think we had already done it
like two or three times to this person, they swing the door open and
they flip on the lights and all you hear is our friend and he goes
running and someone we would see him. We would just do that noise all
the time. I used to love and ding dong ditch was such a classic
that my father told me. In the city, they used to have the
bells that you would pull once and would ring the first floor. If you
pulled it further, it would ring twice. That would mean it was for
somebody on the second floor. In these Brooklyn walk ups, well the knob
had fallen off, so it's just a hall. So they tied fishing line
around it and sat across the street and they knew yeah, and they would
just pull it. They were they were of the age. They were probably
like eighteen at the time you could drink. He said. We were sitting
there drinking, having a couple of beers, and we'd pull it and he
goes. You'd see this old guy come out. Every time. He'd be
looking around, and then you'd go back in. We'd wait about five minutes,
we pull it again. He'd come back out, and then if he's
going to what's going on those kids? He just ran off. There's thirteen
year old kids, he goes. You see those kids? You tell me.
And so now the guys like waiting by the door and they're pulling it.
There's a fishing line sitting across the street. That is the genesis of
the door ring. Yeah, that's it. Well, I love that shit.
You never did ding dung dish did my little tiny town, we did
that. You had to do it. Horn on, horn out? Yeah,
they were too busy. Cow tipping, well, we did both.
Actually I tried cow tipping. I don't believe it can actually happen. We
tried it. I'm telling you legitimately, we did try. I remember we
were pushing on this cow and then the thing kind of woke up, and
yeah, it's hard. I will tell you. I don't remember. There
were multiple attempts, yes, between it. Never I never got it to
do never, I never successful I we never successfully did it. In high
school, I did successfully achieve that. In college, you did? We
did? Did a cracker? I would think it has said so much weight.
Ac count was so much fucking weight. We ran so hard. After
all you gotta say is that I was the smallest guy in the group and
there were some guys from you know, downstate. They were a lot bigger
than I. Yeah, I was a defensive back man. I didn't know
it was actually one of the drills in practice was the half and uh so
the guys from downstate thought it was fucking hilarious. Yeah, because you're like
the room say. They were like, we gotta push it over, Like,
yeah, let's go. You got alcohol now. Right behind my house
where I grew up, you would cut through the woods and it would be
status field and it was all cows grazing in different fields and stuff. We
used to go up there and we used to pick up the dried cowshit and
oh yeah yeah. We would fired at each other, like fridge piece of
stuff. I remember coming home, it's in my hair, it's dried cowshit.
That was. We would have cowship wars, cowchip wars what we call.
It was fun. There was a couple of guys I'm like running through
my head right now. Some names I will not say on the air,
but they were downstair. Guys. It was they it was. It was
probably one of the more entertaining events of their college career. I'm sure,
I'm sure. All Right, we'll take a moment, we'll come back and

be great to fifty nine my dad died after its fifty ninth birthday, before
his sixtieth birthday. So I said, fun, I'm gonna have the best
birthday bast on this because I can't. So I'm doing a nude piece of
technology, and all of a sudden, somebody writes me and goes not hearing
anything through Facebook Live. We were doing it fine, no issues at all,
and then all of a sudden in the last couple of seconds, and
now I'm hearing it through the iPad, which she can't have because it's yeah,
that's right. So yeah, my dad died between before his sixtieth birthday.
So I said, you know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm
gonna if I'm gonna go before I turned sixty, I'm gonna have a hell
of a fifty ninth birthday party. I wanna. Bruno is my favorite guy
man, and so I was gonna say, I said, I was gonna,
I want to bring Bruno to Rochester and have him do a concert for
my birthday party. Well, now would you do this like Egger House?
No, So I've actually I've already already talked about it. Where would you
do it? So I'll do that daring late you would and I know the
guys there because we have a partnership with them. Yeah, and then we
we would sell tickets at a reduced price and it would benefit a charity.
Yeah, one of the you know Buffalo Roster not for profits. Is it
working? Now? Did I What did I do? I have no idea?
Buttons? All right? Wait? Is this mea just push buttons?
And I played around with it. Okay, wonderful. And there would be
you know, and there would be you know, there'd be a certain group
of like my, my, my, goom boss all right, you know,
get friends and family that we would be you know, we'd have a
good time, a little party, a little birthday party, and then Bruno
would put a party on for everybody in Western York. I want to show
That's what I'm looking for. Man, I'm working on it. I've already
I've talked to the guys at Darien Lake. W did talk to these I
mean, I'm fifty three, so I've got six years of planet. Now.
I'm hoping brun was I hope it was. Price is gonna go down
because if I do you know what the price is? I do all right?
Because I I used to know like ACDC to come in and play.
I thought it was three hundred for a show, and this was probably twenty
five thirty years ago. Oh he is way north of that, is he
really? Oh yeah, see over a half one show? Oh yeah,
this is it like a million, it's over a million. Oh shit.
Some company I don't remember who it was. And somebody was telling me they
just brought carry Underwood into Darien Lake for their company picnic. They brought carry
in for the company picnic private show. Yeah, at Darien Lake. I
don't remember who was telling me what company was. How weird is that?
Because you hear about this every once in a while, like Beyonce, like
the the Sultan of Whatever brings it over and it's a million, two million,
think Mariah Kerry. But then you're playing in somebody's living room. I
thought years ago somebody told me they saw who's the original lead singer of Journey,
Steve Perry, at somebody's house in Canandaigua, and there was video from
like this balcony. No it was it was Steve Perry at the time.
Billy might have too. Billy's done it too, and I go, that's
gotta be weird. Were you something you do in Arenas? Yeah, you're
now gonna do in so Much's living room with a vaulted ceiling. But the
money's unbelievable. Yeah, it's means like you can't say no Sammy Haggar by
the pool at Greg's house. Yeah, and so that's pretty funny. Actually,
that would be buying jovie. If I were doing my house, I'd
have bond. You would have on jovial fucking yeah. Man, you kid
meat dude, I'm from the eighties. Him would be friends with my pet
scared Oh my god. Wow. Yeah. First of all, plus he
didn't buy the bill, so I guess we could. Yeah. Yeah,
but yeah, it's you know, and the other thing I learned is it's
all about the number of songs and then how they get there and what you
provide for them. So if you just bring him in with his entourage,
you gotta have them transfer here and all that, and then it's about the
number of songs he's gonna sing the duration. Um. Yeah, well,
I went to somebody's party not that long ago that had Britney Spears Kevin Fredermline,
britney S ex husband. He was a DJ at the time in Vegas
really and they brought in Kevin Federline and he DJed in the backyard by the
way after the after the post malone show, dang Lake. Yes, he
freaking killed it. Beat his dads from Penfield when Penfield School. His grandfather
still lives in Penfield. He grew up in Syracuse. Yes, if I
couldn't get depending on the cost for Bruno, I would have postponed his freaking
energy. His show was freaking awesome. He's my favorite concert summer twenty two.
You put up all traces and I was happy to hear that because I
go there's a lot of really good shows this summer. There's been a lot
of goods and killed it. Wow, my god, he was fantastic.
I loved him. He you know, he gets my energy. He gets
it going. Man, He's passionate, he's all about it. It was
it was fun. If I was going to do a private party like I
go. I always wanted the Black Crows, but they fight too much.
They fight, they do the brothers, their name Black Crown, what demon
have always his open former just having a now but then they got back together.
But I heard horrible stories like where Chris Robinson his new wife, because
don't forget he was married to Kate Hudson and they have a child together,
and then he married this new wife became his manager, and so part of
the reason I think one year, like Rich the brother who was I think
a bass player in the band and you know, the other brother and the
uh played party in the park and I was like, god, I wanted
an interview him so bad to go what happened here? And then I had
heard stuff where Chris Chris wanted of everything that was happening. Yeah, and
so they're like screw this, and then and then obviously they've come to some
sort of resolution. But he's like this hippie, weird kind of cool guy.
That would be a fun one. You could probably get your guy from
the spend actors to do it. He probably I really like him, dude,
And for me, it's like, look, I want to have a
good time for my birthday, you know, my little mars to me would
be that's awesome. So I saw Bruno marsh for the first time at a
Super Bowl pregame Super Bowl party and he was off in the far corner.
Nobody's even paying attention to this kid. Really, no shit, I can't
remember which one in Minnesota. No, I was before Minnesota and uh,
nobody there was like a bunch of different bands. So he goes from pre
games, he went twice, he went to he went from pregame tailgate party
yea to the halftime show. Yeah, and about I think it was a
year and a half because then after he did the pre game for the tailgate
party. I then he then came to Rochester and was at Blue Cross Arena
and there was half a stadium full, and I'm like, I saw this
guy in Super Bowl. We gotta go. It's been great. We went
there, it was phenomenal. Three months later he's at key Bank and Rocha
and Buffalo. Yeah, totally sold out, Okay, and it was stuff
takes a minute to catch on, right, and he's super talented. And
then uh, well I didn't know that because he supported uh what's his name
from? Was it Chris Martin who did uh halftime show? Didn't didn't.
Yeah, he did a lot of cameos like he started off, but almost
as though they need him. Yeah, And it was and the best couple
of years it was, you know, for me, for him, I
mean like he's like the Michael Jackson of our Ja. Yes, yeah,
I mean Michael Jackson was my generation. But like the weekend show, who
I always thought was talented. I thought that halftime show was a little odd,
not one of my favorites. And they go, it could have could
have benefited from a little Bruno Mars. Yeah. Sometimes I feel like people
go, this is my moment, it's too big. It's not that it's
too big. You're trying to do too much, too much in that in
that time space. Yeah, it's like you know, for for example,
the Bruno Mars halftime shows for me have been the best. The second best
was Snoop Dogg. Yea man, he freaking killed it. He killed it
in La Coup two years ago now, and uh so yeah, I mean,
if I'm gonna have a birthday party, I want to live it.
My dad lived a great life. And if I've made it past fifty nine,
god freaking damn, I want to share it with Western New York.
Why do you think? Do you really? Does that really haunt you?
Does it does? My grandfather died at fifty nine and a half. My
dad. I mean, you you do things that they didn't do. Well,
maybe I'm wrong, but I'm just thinking, like, you did your
dad work out? Its? Yeah he did well. My dad was six
two, two hundred pounds. I'm five foot nine. Yeah, but I
mean did he work out as much? Yeah he did. Yeah. My
dad worked out because he wanted He loved to eat and drank, okay,
And I work out because I want to live past fifty nine. I want
to see. There's a different stuff. That's what I'm saying. Like,
you know, I think it was just so you know, that's when you
died before might right, I know, But Jim Fix was the guy who
wrote the running book, and Jim Fix was like all this and then Jim
Fix died of a heart attack, and I think, you know, look,
David Letterman had clogged out of reason, was in great shape and all
that stuff. So I mean, did you was it a heart attack with
your dad? No? He he had he got an infection. He was
he had like a rare infection that he gotten. He had um god,
what was it like like a pneumonia okay, And he had some knee pain
and inflammation. They give him a shot shot got infected which got into his
bloodstream, and then he died of nakratten fasciitis for those medical refessions out saying
it wrong, and then died in twenty four hours. Wow, yeah,
okay, so unexpected. Completely completely. My grandfather, my mom's dad,
died of a stroke. Completely was at the hunting club in Hornell. Yeah,
and died of a stroke, you know, fifty nine, but a
stroke. Dad's brother died of complications of a heart attack at fifty nine.
Okay, those are ones that are a little more center. Your dad is
the outlier here with with what happened. Just happens to be the same age.
I think you're good. I think we're having brutal mars you know.
Yeah, I look, I want to you know, it's like I always
said to my boys at fifty nine, I'm gonna have a hell of a
birthday party. If I make it the sixty. Your inheritance is gone.
Why. It's why I gone all these years for the Bills not to win
a Super Bowl. I don't want them to kill you. Yeah. I
think that this is uh, well, that's interesting that it would haunt you
like that. Sure would. Yeah, I don't. I mean, I
don't want to get too far into my head, but I think about it.
Yeah, sure, I really do I think about it. I missed
my dad every day, Yeah, I really do. I think about him
every single day. Well, I know people who have gone to it's something
I've never I've never dealt with, you know what I mean. And you
know, I've stuff going on with my family, and I'll call my dad
every once in a while for advice, and I don't know what it would
be like to think to pick up the phone. You know, my parents
don't live around the corner. I'm not originally from Rochester, so I've been
here a long time, but you know, everybody's pretty far away, so
I don't have that where you would see them more often. But I do
think that, And now sometimes I think I always go you know, how
many more I said I need to get down and see him this summer?
Because how many more summers do you have? Yeah? I mean, you
know, my mom is she's in her eighties plus right now, and she's
got great enter ge and you know, for me, you know, I
was not the easiest kid growing up. No really, that's what I've been
told, you know. When my kids are great, and you know,
I think to myself, I always wanted to I would love to be able
to ask my dad what was I like? You know, what was I
like at twenty? You know Will's twenty one? What was I like a
twenty one? Well, you know, Luke is eighteen, he's going to
be a senior in high school. What was I like it? You know?
Am I tolerant enough for him? My parents? I mean they'd put
up with my ship. Dude. I went to Alford to be a Strammic
engineer. I was. It was a state school, sixty five hundred bucks
a year. The private school was thirty five thousand a year. Three days
into my freshman year, I went from being a Strammic engineer a sixty five
hundred to thirty five thousand, and my dad and parents had to make up
the difference. If my kids did, that's me right now. I think
I'd freaking shoot him. So, you know, I mean that patience,
that talance, that grace, yes, yes, you know, and my
dad not being here. I think about him quite often because I'm like,
you know, how would my dad react to that? How would he?
You know? And so I I it's and for anybody who's lost a parent
or a loved one, or a wife or a husband, you know,
you kind of look at that is what is it? You know? I
look into for guidance, you know, and I you know, I hear
him in my head and I hear what he what he would think or say,
and I really try to use that as guidance for me. Yeah,
and he would say, have it. I bought the car I have with
a convertible because of my dad, really totally, because I was as I
was, you know, after I graduate from Moscow and I was working,
my dad always wanted to have a convertible and he wanted a convertible um uh
Toyota Calaris whatever it was called, and but he could never afford it.
And uh who my dad passed away. He had a life insurance policy and
I was going to get it like ten years after he passed away. And
then it came to and I got this money that I never ever expected.
And I was like, what the fuck am I gonna do with this?
Now? Smart any financial investor would say, your investor, And I was
like, my dad always wanted to freaking convertible. Yeah, so you got
that. I freaking took them away. I bought a convertible. It's interesting
because they're something with guys and I've heard this a lot, that we won't
do things because of the judgment of our father, Like it's more of a
psychological thing. And I remember reading this book, they go, if there's
anything you really want to do, and you're in your head given the reasons
why it could be your dad. So the thinking was act as though they're
dead, which is terrible, right, It's it's just so hard to do
and all like, who wants to do that? But they're saying like,
if you thought you would write this book, if your dad wasn't going to
judge you for it or whatever, and it doesn't sound like you had that
kind of relationship at all. So I this is going a complete different direction.
I think where we were talking here. But when I was starting to
when I was thinking about leaving the office I was at before us Arty,
Connors and Ferris, my dad told me not to do it. He's like,
why you want to do it. I'm like, well, I can
make more money. He's like, never do anything for money. He goes
that I would agree with him. He goes, don't do it for money.
He goes yeah, And uh. He was like, you know,
if you don't trust them, if you don't like them whatever. If they
don't share your values, okay, then you leave. But if it's for
if you because you can think you make more money, anybody can do that.
Yeah, And so I didn't do it. I waited, and then
my dad passed away and a circumstance came up and uh, an individual said
to me, you know, after experience in your father's funeral, I really
kind of know what life is all about now. It's you know, it's
about fulfilling your professional dreams. You know, don't let your family hold you
behind. And I went, that's the exact opposite of my dad. My
dad sacrifice his entire life for his family. He gave up professional opportunities for
his family. He didn't pursue additional money for his family. He stayed in
Horn all so I could finish my senior year rather than taking a job in
CEO in a hospital in Canadagua in Rochester, which would have paid him one
hundred percent more than he was making. Because of it was better for me
and our family. And I was like, yeah, that's and then I
was like, you know what. A couple of things happened and I just
said it's best for me to my dad always gave back. My mom and
my dad always gave back to the community they lived in, and I figured
that's what I wanted to do. I didn't care much money I made,
and so Tom and I started Connors and Ferris just kind of like, we're
gonna do our thing right. Never in a million years that I think we
were gonna do well. That you had value, right, I mean,
you had provide a value and then yeah, yeah. It's always the guys
who are like, uh, what are they risk and investment When you're investing
money, they would a capital h gain, not capital so well, so
the whole thing came down so my dad. So I made the decision.
I was like, all right, Dad, we're going to Christmas. And
I said to my dad, I'm m I'm going to break out on my
own. All these things happened. He's like okay, and I said,
you know, look, I might have to borrow some money from me because
I say some money, but I don't know if I'm gonna have enough to
kind of make it through. And he says, don't worry about it,
we'll take we'll take care of it. And I'm like all right. So
a month later, my dad got sick and then he passed away, and
I actually use the money from his life insurance policy to then help start out
and provide us to start counters and farres and uh, you know. And
in the end, it was like terrible investment by yeah, yeah, well
you know, didn't go anywhere, you know. And in the end,
and one of the things I said was, I want to take all the
money that that dad left tone to us, and we're gonna give it back
to the community. And we did that, and we've done that and U
and one of the things that my dad did, which it's you know,
your parents and my mom is the same way. Man. She loves life,
she lives life. She gets back to the community she lives in.
And so for me, it's like, look, when I turned fifty nine,
I want to have that party. I want Bruno Mars, I want
to dance. I don't have a good time. I want the community have
a good time. I want to get back And we're gonna do it.
Yeah, We're gonna do it. Whether whether I can afford it or not,
I don't know. I hope, I hope he comes off that pedestal.
My whole thing is I hope he doesn't have another hit record because six
years in his value is gonna go down. And then I hope post Malone
doesn't hit it big because I think I can afford post Malone. All right,
but we're gonna have a good time. Man. Part of the deals
they have to come on the podcast to hell. Yeah. Oh, we'll
be right there. We'll be courtside for the whole thing there. Oh yeah,
old white people dancing. That's exactly what will be new ancerned by New
Balance. I hate you for Kevin Meure are always the jerk. Gret Connors
bringing Bruno Mars in six years. I'm Bill Moran. We'll see you tomorrow.
