It's just like the old radio show with the additibility to swear a lot from
the mac of All Trade studio in Fairport and driven by Victor Chrysler Dots jeep
Ram. It's bilified but Bill Moran podcast. Well, hello and welcome.
Thanks for getting your pot on, Thanks for telling a friend. That's how
we spread the word about the pirates ship. Danny is back from Tennessee.
Baby Tennessee plates. You saw Tennessee plates get stamped out? Live in front
of it? Stamped out? Is it? At the jail? Everybody plays
uh for free? Like all these like cover bands played for free for tips.
And this one guy goes y'all like John Hot. I'm like, I
know a guy. Who does I know a guy? I know? No
one? I know the guy. Fuck you, I know the guy.
Oh, by the way, Kevin's here too. I had his second bill
of fried sandwich today. Really very proud of Kevin because I have to say,
only two sandwiches today. I don't know no he I'm saying his second
bill of fried Ever we had one Monday night or I paid for one today.
Yes, but it's the thing that I have to say, Uh,
I didn't know you I didn't know that you could just throw ingredients together and
not really know how they're going to work out, and have them work out
perfectly as you did. I didn't think you had that ability to look at
me. I know, but still, but you don't eat? You and
I went to dinner. Who ate their entire dinner? Who did not?
I had my entire dinner. No, you didn't, you absolutely did.
You didn't. I have left two chips and a half a pickle. No,
I thought you left something else. I thought you threw it in because
you said I'm a slow eater. No. I left the chip because there
was so many freaking chips. But you ate half a pickle? Let that
sink it. I didn't, Okay, I didn't. I didn't. I
did not. People believe the pick and the half a pickle. You ate
the half a pickle. Trust the fat guy. Where I'm headed there,
believe me coming there and coming in a little bit will be Kevin van Waukenberg.
So if you see the empty chair, I called him and I said,
uh, you got it. I got the empty chair for the celebrity.
Where are you? And he said, I'm on my way. I
gotta drop my kids. It's it's, you know, summertime with the kids.
I saw a mom today, all the kids on bikes. They're all
parading in. There was like four or five kids behind her. They all
pulled up right in front of the studio. Then the kids are blocking the
paths and ladies getting mad. She's trying to get through after her haircut.
The mom's trying to gently get the kids over. I go. It is
a lot in the summer when you have kids, because you're running them around,
you're getting them to a place to place camp. You're kind of kind
of hope. Like my brother next year wants both his kids to go to
sleep over camp for two weeks. His daughter goes every year, but his
son's not old enough yet. So he's been coaching them up. Man,
you're gonna love it right selling them yet them up them two weeks of freedom,
that's what he wants, he said, And they need to both go
for the same for the same two weeks. They got to get out of
here at the same time. But summer's kind of tough. So then Kevin
says, can you drop me a pin as to exactly where the studio is?
Again, I haven't been there in a little while, and I went,
yeah, sure, and I hear are Kevin over here go fifty bucks.
He doesn't know how to do it, And I said, you know
what, save your fifty bucks, asshole. I don't know how to do
it, so I looked it up. It is this fucking we have made
our lives so simple. Now. You simply press on the map. It
pulls up exactly where I'm sitting. I pressed, I hold it, drops
the pin and then goes, who do you want to send it to?
Whoop? And off it goes. Also, it's the important part of my
state. And I said I didn't know either, so I was no,
no, no, on myself. That's true. I would have banged them.
Mean, I thought it was funny. Daddy's got a flip phone,
so he definitely didn't know. I didn't know. You didn't how to dromp
pin? No, No I did. I didn't. Well, no,
it's but it's the simple, like everything is so easy nowadays. It's so
easy. That's the thing. So tell me a little bit about this experience
in Nashville. We saw your wife playing piano at the Elvis studio. It
was the most it was the most spiritual experience I've had outside of a church.
Seriously, I loved it the whole trip, the whole trip, particularly
when my wife got to sit down to play Elvis Presley's Steinway piano, which,
by the way, has its own Facebook page. Okay, only certain
people are allowed to play this thing. It's at RCA studio, be on
Music Row and Nash. Here's what happened. We get on the bus and
this guy is very, very smart because people want to go and touch all
of Elvis's stuff and they can't allow that to happen. He goes, by
the way, we got anybody any musicians in here? A few of us
raise our hands. How many play piano? My wife's the only one.
I'm fifty people on a bus. Okay, I just wondering. We get
to the recording studio where Elvis recorded songs like Love Me Tender at four o'clock
in the morning and it's completely dark. They tell the story right, and
he goes, is uh, your name is Beth right, Yeah, you
said you played piano. Come on over here playing something. So she's like
oh yeah. So she gets over and I'm like you, I'm one of
those in the moment guys I'm not pulling out my phone. I'm not a
phone puller outer and tape this. Oh I gotta get this on tape.
Well may one right, Well that's so like like watching her like Upton and
her and these people next us, Hey, you want you want to tape
this? I'm like, oh crap, but she's about to start. So
now it's like I would ask them to take I would have said, yes,
do you mind. They actually like three people taped it for us or
playing the piano, and she like she started like wobbling back to me.
She played Beethoven's Um for a lease and someone who goes, did you rat
that yourself? She's like from West Virginia best like, what yes I did?
Oh no, no, no, it's called November rain. So so
she comes back and she grabs my arm and she's like shaking, shaking.
Yeah. So I tell people this from my phone. I told you,
I told a few other people and you were You guys get great responses like
oh my gosh, how amazing. Right, yeah, now there were some
people are like oh need like well no, you don't freaking get it.
Man. Always certain people were allowed to do this. Well, I think
that people aren't going to get it, and you know that's fine, and
really all that matters is that you and she fully appreciated the moment like that,
right she was like she's also she was in tears. Right. Yeah,
I felt the same way the day before at the Grand Old Opera at
Rhyman Theater, right, Mike patrim And I can play Beth if you want.
Oh, you have it in buddy, I believe it's still okay,
yes, let me see, let's see. Are you there? Yep,
you're there. Okay, I gotta find Danny. So you went to the
Rhyman Theater, Yeah, the original home of the Grand Old Operate, and
they show this video about how it all came to be and how it just
kind of ended one day and then the musicians, the country artists themselves brought
it back and like, when you hear the list of people who are on
that stage, he gives you chills. So everyone's got a chance to get
on the stage and take a picture, but they won't let you on the
actual stage. You gotta be in a little front part, a little perch.
I didn't need a picture. I just want to get up there.
So I got up there for two seconds, and Beth goes, Honey,
we gotta go. Come on. I'm like, hey, wait a second,
people are waiting to take a picture. I go, I just want
to take this moment soaking and there's only two people waiting. Yeah. I'm
like, it's not like. It's not like I'm holding up a line for
like one hundred people. I'm like, don't scold me, Like I'm a
kid. I want to soak this in and enjoy it. Right. So
she takes my picture. Anyway, I wasn't looking for a picture, right,
So that was my moment. Then she gets her a Moment's studio b
RCA Studio B and there's just so much history, and the guys on the
trolley tour do such a great job of explaining this all the tour guides off
the tops of their head. Now. I'm sure they've told these stories so
many times that they haven't memorized. But man's it was. I got so
much out of this trip, just as a musician and as a music fan.
I just absolutely loved it. And we both had these special moments.
And the very next day we go to Johnny Cash's Barn Studio and Museum.
Johnny Cash's piano is like three feet away behind a velvet rope. I go,
hey, Beth, that's articularly because you can't touch that. Go we're
even now, Well that's cool. It sounds like a great, great time.
I think. Um, I thought Bobby Bones had a lot to do
with the opera. Now, no, I know he does a lot there.
I thought he was. I thought he started a TV show, maybe
on Access from the Grand Old Op. He may have. He may have
really trying to help bring it back. It was funny because the next night
Melissa Ethridge played there. Really, when we pulled in on the uber,
I always thought she was a great guitarist, and I saw her years ago
in Poughkeepsie. The uber driver tells, man, you picked a hell of
a weekend to come in Nashville. I'll tell you that. Why is that,
Oh, to not George Stray, Chris Stapleton, a little big town
or playing at Nissan Stadium. Meanwhile, fit, he says, just getting
out at the Bridgetone Arena and you're about to walk in at eleven o'clock into
the eye of the storm. So I suggest you know, just why keep
your wits about you, because like all of a sudden like yeah, like
literally like eighty thousand people in one stadium another like twenty thousand people another all
converge on Broadway at once Wow. Right. Then the next day, same
thing, only fifty cent wasn't there. But it was Sam Smith playing in
the arena and George Strait and company playing at Nissan and they call him the
King of Country. I didn't realize that. But they had to shut it
down because of a lightning and thunderstorm and it was pouring, so Beth and
I got out of the way just in time. We went and aid an
assembly hallway of all these like you know chios where you could eat and stuff,
and people are just walking in soaked in their George straight t shirts.
Never get to see the guys went into Uh did you get into the Bluebird
Cafe or anything? Did you see any We went to Tutsias. We didn't
go to the Bluebird Cafe for whatever reason. We went to Heady Bees.
But there's Heady Bees like all over the South, but we went there no
I specific By the way, Kid Rock is the only person in the history
of State of Tennessee to be thrown out of his own bar twice. He
by the way, the true right his own like cops are the coming throw
him out of his own bar twice. Jason Aldean's got a bar down there,
Miranda Lambert, Alan Jacksons got him. Alan Jackson's bar is probably is
one of the coolest, uh, I mean just fun. We had a
blast, but I mean it was just there was so much. But my
favorite part of the trip, beside my wife playing Elvis's piano, was the
distillery. We went to forget Jack Daniels for just a second, right,
Yeah, I kind of learned what an old number seven kind of means.
But I got to go to the Greenbriar Distillery. And the story behind this
is that these uh yes, this is the original Tennessee whiskey. Wow.
It has to be made a certain way, and it also has to be
made in the state of Tennessee. Because the water runs through limestone, it
takes out all the impurities of the water. Yeah, so that's why it
tastes a certain way. I think my kid lives in Limestone County, which
is about an hour and a half to the east of Nashville. Okay,
yeah, yeah, well yeah, because all the limestone, then that's what
leads the water and filters it out and they show you, like on the
tour of the Greenbriar distill rebottled, like one year it's kind of clear,
looks like urin second year it's a little darker. But this is about seven
eight years of whiskey right here. They got away for it. So because
every spirit starts clear, yes, and then what you're seeing the browns is
what has absorbed from the casks that it's like they said something to like,
whiskey's almost like distilled beer, Brandy's distilled wine or something in that effect.
I don't know. But the best part of the story was that these immigrants
came over and they started this, this whiskey company. And then as Charles
Nelson's family got older, Riley No, not true, center square. So
when Charles and w. A. Nelson, when they when after they had
kids and kids and grandkids and all, they went out to become doctors and
lawyers, and eventually they just didn't give a crap about making whiskey. So
the legend kind of died. But every generation named two boys Charles and w
A. Well, one day, these two kids, these crew grads from
Loyala, Mary Mountain, are in Nashville, and they see a sign that
says the home of the Charles and W. A. Nelson Distillery And they
go, well, you're Andy, which is the A and W. A?
I'm Charlie. Huh what's this all about? So they go into a
butcher's shop and they ask the butcher, who's just chopping meat, Hey,
what's this? Uh? Who Charles and W. A. Nelson? He
goes, you're kidding me right? Like no, They go, why you
ask? He goes, well, that's our names. He drops his clever
he goes, you're serious, you're not bs And he goes, now for
real, He goes, Okay, you need to go to that historian down
the street because he's gonna tell you exactly you might be related to the people
who started this. They find out that these that this guy and w They
that their grandparents great great great great grandparents, and the family never told them
that they were involved in whiskey. They's never brought it up. They're not
Irish, they're just not fairly either. During Prohibition, they just wanted to
get I was just gonna wonder if prohibition had a piece of that. You
didn't want to bring the kids into bootlegging, and then you know, just
sort of drifted away and he went. So these two dudes go down to
the history the museum and the history. They tell the historian the same thing,
and he hands them the original glass or the original bottle like this with
the same design underneath that says, this is the original bottle of the first
ever batch of Tennessee whiskey. Ever, it's not Jack Daniels, it's these
guys. This is old number five, Jack Daniels number seven. This is
number five, And they hand it and they're holding it and they're like afraid
to drop it, so they hand it back to the dude because it's an
artifact. And at that moment they decide, we're gonna resurrect this whiskey and
it took him about ten years to do it. We may need to have
a little taste of that. That's what we're gonna do, all right.
We're gonna they show us how to taste, how to drink the whiskey properly.
It was phenomenal. Now, old number seven, how do you drink
it properly? You take a sip because usually, I mean, so far,
in almost fifty two years, I've been doing okay, Well what you
do is you take a sip, right, yeah, and you switch it
around, up and down and back and forth in your mouth. You don't
you take a deep breath. Yeah, then you you drink it, but
you don't inhale. Danny's gonna be one of those assholes at the bar.
Now you don't know how to really enjoy this. Let me show gona pull
that card. Believe my wife goes, you drink your you drink your scratch
and whiskey with ice. So I don't want to hear it. I'm like,
yeah, you're right, I'm sorry, but I didn't so anyway,
so you take a sip, he goes. Once you get that Tennessee hug,
that that burning feel in your chest, now you're ready to drink your
palate it's cleansed. And then then you now you can just sip it the
rest of the way. You just don't inhale when you sip it. And
that's how you drink whiskey, all right, and always need Yes. Now
they're now they were number five. Their number got grandfather did it's a tax
number. That was the tax number number five. The tour guide told us,
he goes number seven, The idea is that at the Jack Daniels plant
they tell everybody, we don't know the real definition number seven. Now the
trolley tour guys will tell you it's their tax number. But the guy over
it at at this company at the Greenbrier said, yeah, we've heard that
too. We don't think that's true. There's a lot of myths about number
seven. But actually they're whiskey number five hundred and fourteen. Believe it or
not. It just became the most famous. This is the first one,
and it's told number five. And so we're gonna sample this in a little
later. They're afforded for bottles. I couldn't bring them all on the plane
because well, you know ball also, we did moonshine. We'd like moonshine.
Moonshine is a little rough for me. I've had moonshine before. Old
smoke. You got a bottle of that back. I'd actually buy this here
in town. I called old smoky. Old smoking sounds like it might be
nice. I've had more like lightning in a bottle. Yeah, that's what's
called white lightning. You can't yeah, you have to mix it with something.
You can't be drinking it mix it shit, it's like drinking ever clear.
It is. It was at one point my wife and I had to
stop and get something to eat. I go, just order us a couple
of drinks. She orders us. Seltzer's right, I didn't know this man.
This Seltzer is really good. Drink a second one. She goes,
Yeah, it's infused with marijuana. Oh yeah, yeah, Oh yeah,
it's THHC. It's cannabis. Lace. Man. You can only buy it
there. I have a can. I'd never touched that stuff in my life.
You've never had weed. No, So all of a sudden, she's
like, hey, you're really relaxed. Here's why, because you drank two
of these seltzers, and and how what was the percentage in there? Um?
I can look it up. I don't know. I got a picture
of it enough to make him tolerable for her, because I'm telling you right
now, I think that you know it's it's weird. We're gonna get to
a story in a little while about a guy who's in some trouble. I've
done some research on this guy. We'll all discuss, but we've done a
one eighty on something that was demonized for over one hundred years, right,
were well over one hundred years. But but really, if you think about
it, nineteen twenty three people were were smoking weed and twenty twenty three and
it was demonized. It was demonized for the longest time, and it was
outlawed. People went to jail for it. If there was all kinds of
problems. Now we're seeing the benefits of it. And I'll tell you,
like, um, I have been occasionally doing five milligram gummies occasionally, not
a lot, not even during the week. Really been like in a weekend,
and you can function. You're fine, and I don't drink as much.
I'm relaxed. I'm not so high that you're you're out of your mind.
I've even learned to regulate my appetite a little bit because I didn't eat
like a whole box of wheat things. But I think that we've we've taken
something that has medicinal purposes and probably could help us in many ways, especially
with the stress and anxiety. All the medicines that they give you for stress
and anxiety, well there's side effects. Sometimes they give you those things what
they call off label use. That's what I'm on fright now. For my
mind brains and I've gained ten pounds this past weekend. Yeah, and everyone,
it's the medication, dude, it's gotta be the medication. Yeah,
it's got to be. What's the proper way to drink the weed seltzer?
You just drink it like I have weed uh tea that I've been afraid to
drink because I don't know what the it's like. Somebody made it and gave
it to me, and I'm afraid. No, but they don't know how
much. Yeah, I don't know how much. I don't know. M
a season there. And my thing is like, you don't want to be
black, because times you can get really like, you know, depending on
how much. I even find ten milligrams a little too much at times if
you're just looking at just hang out, chill and have a good time and
be social. Five is perfect, the perfect. Yeah. My wife told
me after the second one, you're very aloof I go, okay, all
right, great, Yeah, Well, if you win the if you win
the mega millions, don't worry about It's Friday one point two five. There
were only a couple of winners, a couple of million dollars winners. I
mean even that would be nice. They got like, what four of the
five numbers is at it? Or they got five of the numbers and they
didn't get the mega million numbers or whatever. You gotta get all six,
I think you do to get the one, the big one, But some
people did. I think there were a couple of things. There was a
New York winner, California, a couple of the states for a million dollars.
So now we're up to one point and it'll even go higher right as
people are doing it. And here's my thing. I always do it on
jackpocket, which is the app, and you just you. I let it
pick the numbers for me. But you can even go in there and pick
your own numbers. And then I'm going, I don't hear about people winning
on jackpocket? Do you now you never heard of Jackpocket? No, it's
an app you can download through New York State now because because because why Kevin,
the barrier to entry on everything is fucking gone, damn fucking gone.
I'll take my gone, I'll take it's gone. And I could do a
whole rant on how maybe that's not a good thing. However, uh,
I was talking to somebody to go, yeah, now I have seen some
ads where somebody has won on Jackpocket. But I'm like, I feel like
I need to go to some store down in the city or maybe way out
in the country and buy thirty dollars or the tickets and watch me win that
way, Doesn't it feel like it's always that offbeat? Although we had a
million dollar winner not that long ago during this run, during this power that
was the Powerball one. Yeah, Wagman's over in Fairport. Okay, Yeah,
they won a million dollars. So I mean that's pretty pretty good.
Danny. Yeah, you know what I mean. Get a couple of trips
back to Nashville. Maybe you could buy that piano. I know, I
tell you Replica, I loved it. Oh my gosh, I loved it.
I think we should all go to Nashville. Oh absolutely, Okay,
I would like get a bus and just well, I'll tell you what this
is a This is an interesting time for the podcast, and what we should
do at some point is have a meeting and pick a couple of trips as
to places we'd like to go to, and that we could set up pods
and we could go there and try to interview people. So we have a
purpose. We write it off. It's a business expense. We would do
podcasts and Nashville be a great city. You know. I've wanted to get
back to the Montreal Comedy Fest. I thought I was going to be able
to do that this summer, and things kind of get a little bit away
from me, and then we could pick like one or two other we could
do one a quarter. That amazing, you know what I mean. Would
love that. So if we could find well, it depends. I went
to Hartford to see the Sally Jesse Rafael show about taping of it once.
Do you remember her? I do, Yeah, Yeah, she did,
and I think she was I think she taped in Hartford. You think I'm
that young, I don't. I don't. I knew Sally jo No.
No. I was saying, you didn't have the evil can Evil toys.
I didn't think like I had. I mean, there was a whole toy
you read this, you jump over books and everything, and I used to
try to get the dolls hair. Yeah, because in the commercials they would
show you how you can do all this in the world. Man, I
love that evil Where they where do they get the sets for this stuff?
That was cooler. This guy just spit a ball. He's just walking by.
He spit a ball out of his mouth. He's I don't know who
he's seen that plays and gentleman, welcome to the stage. All right,
we will U we'll take a moment. Maybe we'll talk about the I'm Stuck,
and then Kevin van Waukenberg from Little Speech Shops coming in. Um,
we'll talk about Jimmy Butler and Gwyneth Paltrow and all all kinds of things coming
up. But first Cobblestone on Maine, one on nine West Main Street in
Webster. I love on there because really not onlyast in an eighteen hundreds cobblestone
church that is really really beautiful when you walk inside the way they've designed this
and laid it out, but they've got this upscale atmosphere at the bar,
right, it's just fun and warm and you just you feel good sitting there.
Or you could have the intimate setting of a table. Right, So
whatever you want, you like eating at the bar, sit at the bar.
It's an upscale atmosphere. You want that intimate, more private setting,
asked for a table, You get it all at Cobblestone on Maine. And
the food, the Food. I had their steak burger there last week when
I went out, I had a mandate. I called it with Kevin.
It was so so good. And they have a New York Chop special right
now, Cajun rubbed with a pork belly and red beans topped with scallion salad.
Delicious New York Pork Chop Special. Cobblestone on Maine, and of course
they have Kraft cocktails and delicious beers. And they lost Irish Whiskey one on
nine Main Street in the village of Webster. You can't go wrong. Cobblestone
on man Paul Connors and Fairness have two six two comp today. Jimmy's Ees
plates and shakes in Brockport right there in Main Street. You got to stop
in there and get the bird is the word, and any kind of shake.
I like their vanilla chocolate shake, like the half and half. They
even do a chocolate strike. They do whatever you want. You could make
one up on the spot. Jimmy, Jimmy's brilliant. He'll fix it for
you. But they also have the food truck. How about that for a
backyard banger, a corporate picnic, a graduation party, maybe just hey,
I love my neighbors. Let's have a block party and have Jimmy Z come.
That would be pretty cool. How do you find out about getting the
food truck? You go to Plates and Shakes dot com, where you can
also find out about Poppies, drop off and pick up catering Plates and Shakes
dot com. You just spend my nights out. Who was all love?
I know, but you rescued me from reaching coal abottom and me bad being
drinking Danny's Tennessee whiskey. Danny, this is some smooth stuff. Yes,
I was just trying to figure it out too, because I never knew what
the alcohol my volume was, so I looked it up. It's forty five
alcohol on this with It's Nelson's Greenbrier Tennessee handmade sour mash whiskey. You can
get it locally. There's four brands that they I mean, there's like twenty
brands they saw ry and all this other stuff. But this is the original
one right here. There's another one that I'm gonna go get later on,
probably a century or something, because they have it, which is the uh,
the advanced one that you're gonna love. What's the advance forgot what's called
off the top of my head. My wife will know, but it's it's
more advanced than words. They hold up an eye chart if you could see
afterwards you've passed. They used it to sterilyze you up the while and use
it at the track. Yeah, no, kid, The only thing we
didn't see was the Parthenon. Okay, but the story was that the Parthenon.
The guy's over at Vanderbilt. It's such a great job building the Parthenon
that historians actually use lasers to figure out that they were only off by a
fraction of a millimeter. Wow. So then they took the the the measurements,
they brought it to the original Parthenon and rebuilt that one. So technically
the original Parthenon is a remake of the Parthenon in Nashville. That funny,
Yeah, it's crazy. Danny just said, I got back from Nashville.
Kevin van Wagenberg from Little Speech Shop came in and Danny's pouring in the whiskey,
and Kevin said, I'm not drinking for the same reason I wasn't.
Yeah, seriously, I made me fat, dude, I got out of
shape. I got like I was. I was like, yeah, I've
been like doing some intermittent fasting, running every morning, doing all this stuff.
Starting to do that, I dropped and then I ate a gummy one
day and got really hungry and went back up like three or four pounds because
I just eating. Yeah, well, if I'm not drinking, I'll eat
a gummy. He turned Muslim and went to rama don for a month.
That was he ate ramen and a lot of it. Yeah, that's crazy.
So what's been going on? Man? Down to get tripped? Like,
yeah, man, I feel terrible. I've been trying to get over
here to hang out and it's hey, man, no, no sweat insanity.
Like, it's been so crazy. And one of the things that we
started was our rental car program. Yeah, this is interesting to me,
and I haven't talked about it. You and I I think texted about it
a little bit. We texted like a little bit about it. But like
I started, actually we bought a few cars, okay, well like two
and then we had an extra one. Now we're renting cars out so like
if you come to the track, you can just come and pay a daily
rate and rent the car and you don't have to bring your own car.
You don't have to bring anything. If you don't know anything about the track,
you get an instructor, you sign up and do the whole thing,
and it comes with insurance. It's great program. Like how did you come
up with this program? And I've been like talking about it. We've been
kind of semi doing it for like a few years, right, And one
of the things that like kind of pushed us over the edge was seeing a
bunch of other companies come in and do this, okay, and I'm like,
we're here every day. Yeah, we have a captive audience. Yeah,
so why don't we just do this? And it's been working on knock
on wood, thanks, like, its working on great so far. Like
so if I come down, what cars you're just like, so, we
have like twenty fifteen twenty sixteen BMW M three's that are but we set them
up for the tracks and we like we do this thing where we like put
all the same size tires all the way around and wheels, and then we
lowered them a little bit and we put in um a little thing called a
garment catalyst, which gives you instant feedback and also records what you're doing on
the track. Okay, and then we're seeing some of these like I think,
uh, Corvette, the new Corvettes have that in it. It's very
similar to that performance that, yeah exactly. But like so we we wire
this thing into the car and then we also do um driver to instruct our
radio system. Okay, so you just put this thing in your helmet and
then we rent helmets and like you can just show up and just drive the
car on the track and you're just like, you know what for Like so
the two M three's or eighteen hundred bucks a day, okay, and then
we have a you get it for the whole day, the whole day for
all of your session. You have to pay for your school and stuff like
that, and then the only other thing you have to pay for is gas.
It comes with. So then you go to use that car to go
to the school and stuff. So you just show up. You just like
drive your pickup trucker car, suv or whatever. You just show up,
drive this around the track and you get get instructor or whatever, and there
you go and then you leave at the end of the day. You have
no worries if you wreck it. There's actually part of the part of the
thing is an insurance. So okay, maximum deductible that we have on the
cars is about okay, not a bad way to walk away. No,
it's not from an accident, like totally anybody. No, we're good.
Most people are like, well I think they're so good. They're like very
chill and calm and people I just want to like drive track round. We
had actually a guy that rented our race car that just one like he did
it like a month and a half ago whatever Laman's was. Two days after
Laman Yeah. Um, he flew back to the States and then had a
race at the Glen within a few weeks of that rented our race car and
just to get a feel for the track, to get a feel for the
track, just to reacclimate himself and stuff like that. And he was amazing.
Sure, just came in like nicest guy ever, but he just won
his class in Lamant. Wow, I had no idea Like this guy,
I'm like, that's impressed. Like he came in, he was like just
it was like a like a prototype looking like yeah, I can't remember the
specific class, but it was like wild. They questionable that you push them
off to a couple of keys that you got back around. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, we should actually bring some keys down. It's probably easy to
get, really easy to get, right. Well, I think these kids
in the city challenging for rent them, they get them stuck in the wall.
Whatever. Yeah, well that's what we've been doing. That's what I've
been doing. That's a lot. We like started that whole program, and
that's great, and like I'm trying to, like I want to get the
program going so I can start back down south this winter. I want to
really get back going down the East coast and like start doing my thing like
we used to do it. And what is that we used to Like we
used to have like a huge tractor trailer right like big can worth. It
held five cars and all this other stuff. We would go down to like
um, Jacksonville and leave both our trucks and Jacksonville and trailers and stuff like
that in race cars. And then we would do stuff in Seabring and Daytona
and Manna and like stuff like that for our customers. And now I'm like
we should do this again, Like this is a good way to get back
down south and also a really good excuse to have my family take a vacation.
Yeah, right, it's a great idea. Who don't take vacations,
No you can't, the owner. But so you see you're down down and
walkings Glenn and there's two cars. Are they booked through? There's two?
Well they're they're they're on and off. Yeah, so they're we're rotating them
in and out. Okay. And then we have a race car. So
like we have two similar street cars that are track prepped, and then we
have one full race car with full slicks and you can rent that. Yeah,
that's that's the one that the guy rented. Yeah, yeah, well
you need you need to know he needs. Yeah, well you got to
really know what you're doing, like, hey, you can't just go out
and got that slicks. Like, well, it is funny because I gotta
think, like I think a lot of people like intimidating when you first get
in there. You know, you go through a few people that come down
and they're just like you go through the S's and the buster a lot.
It is a lot, Yeah, it really is. But it's it's fun
as shit. Yeah, it's so fun. Yeah. We just actually a
few days ago, Um had a few family members come up and we did
the drive the Glenn thing. Yeah, we kind of like held back a
little bit and like Hauldas through some turns and stuff like that. And I
went through there and I was like, wherever you go, behind you,
they were behind me. Yeah, and they were My wife was way back,
you know, two cars back and stuff like that was the funniest thing
on the actual track or the old track. I'm the real track on the
real track, because you can every day at like twelve and five o'clock,
you can pay like thirty I think it's about thirty bucks and you just do
like a drive the Glenn thing. It's pace laps, yeah, can't and
just kind of feel it. And it's really funny because some people, because
I drive the I'm so lucky, like I get to drive the pace cars
too. Yeah, And I'll help out once in a while with like an
event or something like that, and we drive around and like the last time
we did this that I did something was actually like probably about a week ago.
And people are like driving on the track really slow, Like forty five
forty five miles on a racetrack is so slow, it's like crazy. Yeah,
people don't even do that going into turn one. Yeah, it's crazy.
They don't do that on Main Street. On mainstret right here. Wow,
that sounds like so much fun, but it's a lot of So when
after somebody rents the car, I'm sure you gotta go through the whole thing,
and well we yeah, yeah kind of, but like so far we've
been super lucky. So everybody that rents the car, they're like, so
chill with a car that we just kind of like, we're just gonna rotate
the tires. I guess, yeah. Sure, it's the fastest lap you've
turned there. Oh man, the fastest lap time. The fastest lap time
I did was like a one I think it was like a one fifty six
point seven. It was pretty good. That's fast. Anything lower than one
two minutes is fast. Yeah, And that was in a my customers.
He had a Ferrari Challenge car. Oh, I wouldn't have seen it.
The orange it was like it was red, Yeah it was red, yeah,
but it was right it was like up on the lift it probably oh
yeah, I think so. I think I did see that. Yeah,
so you got to drive that because he didn't have time to drive it.
So he was like like, can you get can you step a car up?
And I was like, yeah, sure, we'll set the car up.
I'll he got in an unfortunate little accident with it, significant accident,
and then we rebuilt the car and then he's like, can you drive it
and set it up and then I'll come back and drive it again. I
was like, sure, no problem. So, um, I've done this
in a couple different times just to make sure everything's right and like whatever.
And yeah, I went around and it was like my third lap out and
I was like that's enough. Yeah. I'm like I didn't even realize because
I was like, this car is so it's wow yeah, wow. Yeah.
So I hit like I think I have a video of it somewhere,
and I hit I just breached one seventy on the backstreet, okay, And
I was like, man, that's like I didn't even realize until I came
back in an hour fast and every ever gone on that yeah. Yeah,
And I was like, oh my god, this is it's so so like
I can't like seventy it's so fast. Yeah, It's like I mean it's
like it's like, um, you know, you watch Star Wars or something,
they go to war, yes, right, yeah, the plaid what
was it? Um was the other what was the other not Star Wars and
knockoff Star Wars Spaceballs when they went to plaid. It feels well. I
always think like that kind of driving is the closest thing to zen. You
know how people say everything else has to be out of it. You really
can't think of anything else, no other than what you're doing, no time
think of any That's it. It's all right there in that moment. I
mean, that's it. Yeah, And like I gotta get like this is
what I keep telling like people, it's like I gotta get you down there,
Like you don't understand what it's like until until you do come down and
go for a ride or something like that. And like just even if you
just go for a ride, yeah, because even you know. The funny
part is like some of the guys in NASCAR, right, Nascar gets kind
of it's it's just a bunch of lift turns and then they do the road
courses. But if you talk to some of these guys and some of the
Formula one guys, they're not really gearheads. Some of these guys they just
like going fast and they don't how to drive well outside of that. They
leave it to guys like you not to thanks to ship. You ask them
something honestly and they may go, oh yeah, well that's the thing is
like you'll ask some of the drivers, I'm like, what's going on in
the car, and they're just like, hey, it's just kind of it
feels weird. Yes, it's like anybody going into a mechanic describer. I
don't know what to do by had some of them are like that, yes,
more oftentimes than not that you have to like try and figure out what's
wrong with the car because somebody's like doing this. You're like, it's like
it's Chimmy's at one seventy, I got a buzzing sound. So can you
imagine being so rich that you don't have time to drive the car because you
got to work to pay for the car? Probably, Yeah, well that's
what it is, right, Yeah, that's it. Yeah, crazy like
sometimes what happened? Yeah it is, and we're just like, uh okay,
yeah, well why not? And then when you do the rebuild.
So I've been watching um Fast and Loud. Oh yeah yeah. And I'm
not a big I'm not a fan of not a formula the Formula one show.
No, this is one where there it's called the Gas Monkey Garage and
Dallas, and they I usually put it on here because I'm here really late
at night, and so I'll just throw it on if there's not a ball
game on. And I do enjoy it, and I like the way they
think. And they remodel these cars, but it's all usually American muscle cars.
They did do a Ferrari somewhere along the line, and I was really
impressed. But the rebuilds on these are amazing, and it reminded me of
the stuff I've seen you do, Like when I've gone through your shop,
and I have said it over and over and over again, they are It's
one Your garage is the cleanest I've ever been in. Yeah, those floors
are I mean you walk into places right, yes, yes, yes,
it's a showroom man, yeah, and all both shops, both shops,
and you would think service shop where we're like pulling motors. That's the one
that I'm I was blown away. I couldn't believe that. And then and
then you the fabrication that you did. I remember that whole Porsch or rebuild
that you did on the air cool And I'm like, these guys are artist
and I feel like sometimes it's just not appreciated. And as they see this
push to go electric, and I've been reading a lot about this, Porsches
new they got this secret thing that they're planning to launch in twenty twenty seven.
One. No, it's called the K one and it's an electric which
supposedly caviny ready. Supposedly this thing can go up to a thousand horsepower with
a nine hundred vault battery, two engines, a third row seat, so
it's somewhere. But it's supposed to look different than the Cayenne than some of
these other suv type of shit they did. Yeah, you want to know
how much it goes for. I'm gonna guess probably over two hundred thousand,
Just that two hundred. I think it's start. I think they think in
twenty twenty seven, this all electric supposed to be a fast charge and everything
is going to start at two hundred thousand, and I go can buy these.
Yeah, this is my massive problem with electric cars. We talked about
this a little bit before. I don't I don want. Yeah, I
don't understand, Like, how is the whole like country is supposed to turn
on infrastructure. I don't right, Well, wait for the infrastructure to happen.
Well. I talked to a couple of lift drivers who wrote in a
couple of Teslas or a bar and oh, I'm sorry Uber drivers, and
they said, this is great for doing Uber. I would not want to
own one of these cars. No, you would not want to they would
not. They go, I would not want to own one of these cars,
especially for a long trip. He goes, forget it, you gotta
stop every two hours charge. Wait, they go, you could do that
with Uber because like you can charge every like so oft of the charging station.
It's no big deal. You need to rest anyway. But with that,
forget it, like it's not worth it. Wellow, that's the thing
is like that I can't remember the name of it. It's like all the
other cars have like a h say, kind of like J plug or whatever,
Like I can't remember the name of the plug. But Tesla in at
East Few Mall, yeah has their charging station. Yes, And I had
a Tesla for a short time, a Tesla Model three Performance that we I
thought was going to be a great idea to buy and like have an inventory
like always an electric car. It was super fun. The kids loved it
it car to drive, they're like engulfed in like an iPad. Yeah,
there's no knobs in the car, there's no nothing, and it's like an
iPad. Yeah, it is an iPad, and like it's super fun,
it's super fast. It's great. You don't have to like and the brakes
last forever because if you take it, don't put off the accelerator or whatever
it drops. But I'm like, there's only one charging station for Tesla's in
Rochester and that's in East few malls. You would have to drive all the
way out there and charge it if you don't have something at your house.
Even if you have something at your house, it costs you a couple of
thousand dollars to put this in. Well, yeah, because my my friend
of my mom's the couple I grew up knowing they he has a Tesla.
He let me drive. Yeah. They're fun to drive. Yeah, I
did take They're fun fast, there's quick, like they show you the cars
that you're seeing on the street. Yeah, like on the iPad you're like,
oh Semi oh s Ami, here too the cartoon while you're driving,
which gonna be distracting, right, But it's pretty cool. But he went
and had the Tesla, the actual Tesla charging station put in his garage.
Yeah, but you're right outside of that, because otherwise I think people are
using some kind of converter which isn't drawing full power, so it takes longer,
maybe twice as long I thought I read somewhere. What I did was
at our house in Watkins Glen, Yeah, because I had the car and
at our where I live and Webster we just put in a dryer plug okay,
okay, and like makes sense it twenty or two fourty or whatever over
to a dryer plug and just would sit there and just charge overnight. And
it'd be like, if it was like really low, it'd be like six
seven hours to charge the car from like a thirty mile range up to two
hundred and forty miles or whatever. And I'm just like, thank god it's
there. But if the power went out, like I was at Watkins Glen
one time the power went out, the car didn't charge all night, and
I'm like, I can't go any What am I getting too. It's like
having a phone. If your phone doesn't Oh yeah, that's the thing you
know, you do? Well, you think about that? If we all
if we went electric. Did you see what happened in California? No?
I were like about it like a year or so ago. Yeah, the
governor said everybody needs to convert to electric and we're gonna do this, And
then like a week later there was some massive par outages in like heat and
all that sort of stuff, and they said, can you guys please stop
charging your electric? Yeah? Right, there was a thing about that,
and I was like, what right. The other thing too, is that
your electric bill is gonna go through the roof. Yeah, that's what you
need. Well, where does the electric come from? It's not free,
No, it's not. It's all like yeah, like like like if you
were hit an electric heat or like when you're an apartment when you were a
kid, most like suck electricity. It's the same thing. I don't know
in terms of the conversion to Kevin's point and gas versus. I don't know
what that conversion either. And I haven't seen anybody who has to like go
through and like mine lithium and we'll see. And then the battery, you
gotta get rid of the battery. Where you gonna put the battery? Why
happens when they seen catch on fire. Oh yeah, they don't go out.
No, they don't know that. That has been my biggest with the
electric car is the battery. But they have that new company in Rochester,
life Cycle, which is supposed to recycle those the car batteries and take out
all the precious metals and recycle them so we don't keep going into the earth.
So as much as we're doing one good, I never know because I
I'll use the plastic bags as an example. Right, We've gotten rid of
plastic bags in New York State. Yeah, yeah, okay, I don't
know what the whole reason was. And I thought it was for the environment.
I thought we heard that they were blown around and it would just get
caught up in people's stuff. If it's for the environment, then why can't
we still buy them. You can go to Costco, Kevin said, and
buy a sleeve of them. I stop into a little deli around the corner
and the guy's like, yeah, I got a hoop. I got tons
of them. I use them all the time for my customer. Plastic bag
you go to Yeah, you go to Palmerce, they have it. They
have them, so you can buy it. So so there's some kind of
bullshit that's happening. I'm not saying we shouldn't look out for the environment,
absolutely, yeah, but there's some kind of bogus thing because we got rid
of the bag, So who's making the money because the because you can still
buy the bags. Yeah, we just can't put our groceries in it.
We should. It's always like you gotta it's like prohibition on bags, you
know what I mean. And it's the same thing with these batteries and the
gasoline car. Where does the truth lie? Because let's say we all go
electric. Let somebody hit the power grid, yeah, and then we're really
fucked. What if? Yeah, that's it, you know what I mean?
What are you talking about? What is he like twenty twenty six or
something like that, or twenty thirty five New York State. We're supposed to
be like like car sales. Yeah, bullcrap. But I'm I'm like,
wow, yeah, And they electric cars are impressive and they ride great,
but I haven't owned one, and you have where you have the trouble of
charging in and if you're down, you know, if somebody went to the
Adirondeck for the weekend and you took your elect suv and the power goes out,
and it's not uncommon that that would happen no matter what time of year.
But you only get like a couple hundred miles. Yeah, that's it.
Or you're just up in the mountains where there is no charging station.
Yeah right, and when you stop and the cars, well that's where yeah,
we do. That's where he's saying, like at his house, he
had one in Watkins Glen. But yeah, what do you do? I
don't know. You call in a guy with a truck and a trailer with
a big diesel generator and you plug it in on the side of the room.
But we can't do that because now, so I watched have you.
I don't know if you've seen this one. Gosh's Robert Downey Junior has Downy's
Dream Cars on HBO Max. I've never seen that, all right, So
I only watched one episode. And he took like this big monster truck that
he had and he wanted to converted electric in someplace in Vermont. Converted it
electric, but he wanted it to still have all the power and everything,
and he loved the big throaty sound of it, so he wanted it to
keep all the characteristics I don't think it was certainly a loud, but he
wanted to have be able to handle the terrain and all that. The Army
is going electric vehicles and they have that they wheel out into the desert.
It's like something the size of the wall in the studio and it's just all
power outlets and you charge all of your vehicles and then all the hummers and
stuff. And they're saying, like, you know, Jeep was the general
purpose vehicle and then it became shortened for Jeep and that's how he got Jeep.
So a consumer car based on military vehicle. According to this, they're
saying that Chevy is the basis for the electric vehicles and the chassis and everything
that they're using in the army. I don't know, man, well that's
a great question. And I don't know. I mean, look, it's
a sixty minute show basically, right, so I haven't done it. I
have to look up, like really look into what is the army doing because
they had something. Man, it was the size of this giant wall and
they got plugged all these vehicles. I it must have been Kevin. I
I gonna plug it in the desert. I don't know that was the thing
is of going, Man, I must have a really long They say,
those portable battery packs for your phone. Hey, here's this, And they
were out like in in somewhere in you know, southern California and wherever the
bases. And I'm going, this is no idea. It is wild.
Have you seen anything on Apple's car that's supposed to be coming up? So
you didn't see the Apple car thing? Actually, you know what. I
was driving around the other day as I was like going back to our house.
I just crossed over one oh four and I looked in my mirror and
I was like, it's a new Hummer, one of the new you have
you seen the new Hummer vehicles. No, they're wild, they're wildly electrics.
It's it's an electric pickup truck. It's huge, yeah by Hummers.
Yeah, okay, it's got lightning painted on the side. Well, I
heard Ford had one that was pretty good. And then I've actually the funny
thing about the Ford trucks. Yeah, I thought I heard a lot of
bad inform because the cars were Yes, that exactly that that truck right there
was behind me. Um, So I have not seen that. Yeah,
there's one in Webster. Okay, makes sense, but um yeah, so
I was like, yeah, it's like a guess where there's another what's the
what's the new electric suv? I think it begins with an arm. It's
got the square rivion. Yes, yeah, I see rivion all over,
a whole bunch of rivions around. Yeah, I've seen it, more and
more and more of them, like I've only seen them and around more and
more Mark on the east side, on the east side. Yeah, well,
I mean who else can afford these? Why don't know every vehicle nowadays?
I'm looking at prices of vehicles different stuff, and I'm you're looking at
base models starting at sixty or some at one hundred. That's also my problem
too, because part of our shop, like what we do is like buy
and sell cars. We're like a small dealer. Yeah, so I'm having
the worst time trying to find any cars because like everybody's scooping them up.
There's not a lot of cars then, right available. Yeah, And we're
just like anybody bringing you a project these days sometimes projects yeah, yeah,
we got projects. Yeah. Yeah. Do you like electric soapbox? Everything
electric? Can you not put cars on it? That would actually be a
great thing if I can figure out how to stop keys being stolen. Yeah,
it's got the bars you pro over the windows at night when you're closed.
Yeah, we're done for the night. Yeah, no more driving.
Yeah, cables and locks for the wheels entire I don't know. We'll take
a moment when we come back. One other thing that New York State is
doing now is they've legalized marijuana, except for the fact that there's not many
places you can actually get it, So some people are going to still get
medical I know a guy medical well, but we both buy it legally,
so they get it through medical medicinary, right, you would go or medicinal
excuse me, and he would go to some doc like a tele doctor or
something, and you can get you know, your your thinging a prescription and
going and buy whatever you need to buy. But I don't know that many
licenses have been handed out. It's been a while, and so there's all
these hoops you gotta drive jump through. Yeah. So again it's one of
these things where it was vilified for one hundred years. But if they can
make some money on it, well, one guy had seven of his stores
padlocked, and we'll hear from him next but first comedy at the Carlston.

line at five eight five two o six eighty eight sixty six. Hey Bill,
I just want to call and wish you the best of luck and you
know all the trials and tribulations you're going through, and let you know that.
You know you're my favorite podcast, or my favorite when you were on
the radio, and I too learned a lesson, not from this the latest
podcast, but from the one before I learned this. Sirie doesn't know what
what I'm talking about when I say, God damn it, Billy, And
be sure to like and subscribe Tubilified wherever you get your podcast because I say
hey, Siria, and then it'll pop up for him and then he God,
damnit, billions in serials. I can't look at my series now on
my phone. On the last could you try again? I didn't get that
could you try again? So you were saying that there was a cannabis or
a marijuana shop in Watkins Glen, there was like two two of us I
saw, yeah, yeah, yeah, So as far as I knew,
like New York State, nothing's easy in this state. As you know is
as you're as a business owner. Yeah, and you got way more regulations
on the ship you can do in the state than I mean we're talking.
Yeah, you know what I mean, that's about it. But when you're
dealing with toxic chemicals and different things, I'm sure there's all kinds of things
you got to jump through. I mean I would, Yeah, there's like
there's a bunch of stuff, but I couldn't imagine trying to sell we no.
I so well, so they made it legal and then they said we're
gonna grant licenses to people, and we're gonna and the first people we're gonna
grant them to are people who had family members that were incarcerated because of marijuana
convictions. Yeah, so if you had a grandfather or a father, is
that me? Yeah, well it's actually serious. But yes, it's my
phone. You're sitting here. I thought it was Kevin, So I'm ignoring
it, like I'm just going I don't know, Yeah, I I do.
I could see your thought process going, wait till he finds out no
it was me. So uh so they said you had okay, and then
what they weren't really telling you in the fine print is in order to get
a license, So those were gonna be the first licenses hand it out.
You were gonna get to jump everybody in the line if you wanted to open
a dispensary wild okay, but you got to have two years business experience before
they'll grant you a license. Okay, So it's New York has to be
up in a state that never oh wait, give those rules. So so
I think, like, I don't know how you do this now, right,
I mean how most of these guys probably don't. So it's either maybe
someone who's run a bar, maybe you ran a liquor store, maybe you
ran a barbershop, And now you're gonna lead I would assume that those things
is running businesses for two years would qualify, and yet I don't know that
any licenses have been handed out. There is a place in Henrietta, but
you have to have a medical marijuana license, so that I mean a medical
prescription in order to go buy stuff from what I understand, And then there
were there were places that we're doing this to circumvent the law. They were
calling themselves consultants, which I never advisors. Advisors. They would explain things,
we're gonna get to why this is a big deal. And then so
you would come in, Kevin, and they'd go, hey, listen,
Kevin, we got a gift with purchase. If you buy this shirt for
seventy five dollars, we'll give you three joints or you know what I mean.
So that's how they were doing it. So they were selling it as
a gift with purchase, which then New York States started to slam the brakes
on that. So I don't know where we stand with legal marijuana. I've
not seen a legal dispensary that you can walk into like Uken in Massachusetts.
They seem to get through pretty quickly. Uken in Colorado Uken in California.
I don't know what the fuck we're doing in New York. I don't know.
You gotta find a reservation. Well that's what we were talking about like
just a minute ago. Is yeah, this the two places that I saw
locally in Watkins Klein. I was like, they were open, and then
which one call? What's one called I'm stuck video? No? I no,
no, it was, um, something's kind of similar to that.
But yeah, it was just one day, like I went back and I
was like, why is the place empty? And there's stickers all over the
doors, so there's nobody standing out front anymore, like it's closed. They
go out with like a spinning sign, spinning weed leaf, you know how
they could spinning joints that. Yeah. So a chain of unlicensed places in
the Finger Lakes is being investigated after they were accused of selling to underage customers.
We will go to Channel thirteen, the ABC affiliate in the Greater Rochester
area with more on this story, New Informations and I on an investigation into
an unlicensed cannabis store in Wayne County and under accused of selling to underage customers.
Thirteen wives jack in Diver spoke to that owner and joins us Sound.
According to the Attorney General's Office, an undercover investigator was able to purchase two
hundred dollars worth of cannabis products for a minor undercover at the Olmstuck store in
the town of Ontario. The name of the store is I'm stuck. Oh
it's not sylvestor the cat. I know this poor girl. I have no
idea suffering, so it's been weird. I watch her, she's got she
should battle the dude from Shettleton. It's the stickiest of the new informations and
I on an investigation into an unlicensed cannabis store in Wayne County under accused of
selling to underage customers thirteen wives. Jack in Deer spoke to that owner and
joins us Folk Tour could be banked on. According to the Attorney General's Office,
an undercover investigator was able to purchase two hundred dollars worth for a miner
undercover at the Olmstuck store in the town of Ontario. The owner, David
Tully, says, although he is unlicensed, he is not a bad actor
in the cannabis market. Tully says he should be eligible for a conditional adult
use retail dispensary license as he has several marijuana convictions on his record. However,
he didn't not have to the business experience at the time. This guy
knows his stuff. He must be really good if he's got all this conviction.
He's got this punch card up for three down. This is this is
what they're saying. If you, if you were convicted or somebody who's convicted,
you jumped to the front of the line to get the license. You
know you're convicted, yes, because now we've decided that, like if you
steal a Kia you get a key dealership. Yeah, exactly, you're like
a New billy. You know what you should be. You should be assembly
in New York State because that's it. Yes, yes, it is.
You have to deal with all the headaches of ownership. Uh yeah, So
that's what this guy saying, that he should be allowed to have a great
licensed several bad I didn't realize it's huge, huge. I had no idea.
You know what's funny, He's like on TV when you're just watching,
you know, he doesn't stand out, so you just hear the audience.
Tully says, well, he does not sell cannabis in his stores. He
does give it away as a free sample. This is what I'm talking about.
It's like it's like the Catholic church Buddy of Christ buddy. Never ever,
ever, not one of us ever sold Eddie cannabis ever two miners.
That's never happened. Consulting the market. Okay, so the cops went in
with an underage undercover agent said they bought it, and you're saying that we've
never ever, ever have we ever? Was one of those kids with one
of those like cop outfit for Halloween with like little star share of deputy,
little junior deputy. They usually hire kids like I think they deputize, don't
they deputize like seventeen eighteen year old kids to go into place because you have
to be twenty one to buy marijuana, you have to be twenty one to
buy alcohol. I think they've had eighteen and nineteen year old kids go in
there. We got some matchuff, they get them. So we got some
nerds from the Explorers programs like this. But they're like they're I think they're
part of the Yeah, I don't know if they're junior sheriff. I'm almost
positive this because at eighteen, you're an adult for everything other than illegal.
Sure, the kids like get their dad's truck and they put these strobes on
a party. We give you a free sample, not to sell you a
product, but because the lights of stores aren't talking to you about their products
at all. So okay, that made no sense. We're not selling you
a product. We don't want you to buy anything. We're offering it to
you. But I want. Yeah, It's like Tully is expected to appear
in Wayne County Court tomorrow afternoon. If convicted, he could face millions of
dollars in penalties. Oh you know he's gonna get face millions of dollars in
penalties because it's New York state. But hey, he's right to the front
of the line now again, right, yes he is. So the name
of the store is I'm Stuck, and it's a change he's got. He's
gotta Kuga a Sweego seven seven shops all burn Lions, Ontario, Masson,
and Williamson. So he's got them all over. But so I'm going I
wrote somebody and said do you know this guy? And they said I do.
I have a friend that works for him, and they said he's a
bit of a loose cannon and sometimes and I asked, But so I went
looking and go, Okay, what tell me more about this guy? He
showed up at an Auburn city meeting because somebody wrote an article about his store
without ever interviewing him. And remember, you're it's probably it's the Auburn Gazette.
I don't know what it is, but it's a small paper in Auburn,
New York. People who are writing for the small paper in Auburn,
New York, they've got to be over sixty, don't you think, Oh
yeah, probably so most of these people for over one hundred years. This
is my thought job for over one hundred years, they've been we've been talking
about how weed is demonized. So they're probably just going with that fact like
that. We don't need this in our town. We don't need. If
I'm this guy can artable about me, I am going to do everything I
can to try to persuade the other way without bringing a whole lot of attention
to myself. This guy decides to go in front of the Auburn Town Council
or city council, whatever it is, and here he is. My name
is David Tully currently lived in Myons in New York, but I owe m
the I'm stucks the weed warehouse out and it really is across the bass Pro
shops and we're opening a store here in Auburn nine genesc Street this coming week.
We were featured in the paper on the Citizen. It's called the Auburn
Citizen. Citizen, the Auburn Citizen. I was given a negative light by
the city through mister Nate Garland, but I've never met before until this recently
after the paper was written. Nobody contacted us for comment before our business was
rather negatively commented on by the city. So I come here with my this
is what I'm saying time out. Was it a column though it was a
story or a column? There's a difference a columns an opinion piece. A
story is got to be objective. I don't know you need if it's a
story about it that it's probably right. Yeah, so it's half the bills
reporting. Okay, business to introduce ourselves and introduce ourselves as a positive business
for your community. I started this business with my COVID money. I was
working at McDonald's. So this guy goes from working at McDonald's takes his COVID
money to opening seven dispensaries. But we heard in the last piece he doesn't
sell you anything. He's just consults you on it. Because the big shops
aren't telling you what what the fuck is going on about that? But I
was making minimum ways. My kids are in government housing. I am the
disenfranchises. I gotta I have a marijuana conviction on my record. But here's
here's here's the New York State doesn't tell you. They didn't. They didn't
do that for the growers. They made sure that the CBED processors got their
licenses first. For the processes A processing licenses CBD And I'm gonna go fast
if we have to speak fast. CBD processors got their licenses first, and
not for the car. For the card licenses, they required them required people
to have two years of business. He's right before. That's bulls. Would
give you a card license, that's bullshit. So I had to start this
now because if I did, my family and my kids would never have a
chance. And now I have seven stores. So well, okay, looks
like it too far, But see what I'm thinking. A lot of other
stuff too, bro other things you could never had a chance you could become
a manager at McDonald Oh yeah, look, I'm I'm all in favor of
this, but it's it's just let's not get too dramatic. But yeah,
he's right about the CBD part and then grows. There's always a game in
New York State Europe. Kevin, you're an you're a business owner. You
know, I get it, But like, that's what I don't understand.
It is like, how did New York City let them to open? And
they were like, hang out it wait, yeah, they didn't know,
they just open. They just opened. They were just like, nah,
you guys are doing it right, like clothe unless they let them open to
do that seems counter product, Yes, superter like, I don't think that
was right. I don't think the government doesn't work for us anymore we work
for them. New York has any impact on what the taxes for this are
either. I think that's a lot of the problems. They haven't figured out
how to tax it yet. That's that's why you couldn't get draft kings in
the state. How come Massachusetts, which I thought, legalized marijuana. Can
you look this up? Because I might be wrong? Terrible, that poor
reporter. I know I never listened where you can get rid of your list,
but listen, you gotta want it. Okay, you gotta want it.
This should look good. You look at her. I'm not making that
judgment call. Okay, you're right. Look, so in Massachusetts, I
thought that they legalized marijuana after New York State. Maybe I'm wrong. December
fifteen, twenty sixteen. Okay, that's probably you're guessing New York hasn't figured
it out because New York City probably doesn't care about it. They probably don't
want to deal with it. They're probably not doing it. So what,
Well, you're right, because something to do it up for all the towns.
You had the right to opt out. Right, if you didn't want
dispensaries in your town, you could opt out, which meant you weren't going
to get the tax benefit from So like Gates I said, I think said
no, So Gates, that really does you know? He's yeah? Alright,
Gates? Seriously Gates, really, really, New York can I started
with a thousand dollars I didn't choose to be New York State's number one dispensary.
Okay, so how what are just awesome? Because the name of it
is. I'm stuck consulting in marketing firm. But now he's the number one
dispensary in the state and the last news because this is what I'm just trying
to figure out what this guy. He's a bit of a P. T.
Barnum here. Oh people New York? Did they chose us? And
now I'm employed over forty people throughout Central New York with a salary over fifteen
hundred dollars a week. I don't pay our every that's seventy two thousand dollars
a year. I've gellary. Yeah that's a that's a nice plush vacations.
Yeah, oh every day, and you forget where you are. And he's
still less rounder than all the folks at Fairports. Plus you get some hundred
dollars a week, including four people out of the city of Auburn. I'm
here. I've never received a nuisance report. I've never received a police report.
All my staff for the most friendliest staff he'll ever meet on the planet.
Customer service comes first with our company. We are from Central New York.
We are the Finger Lakes. I grew up in Ethnica, New York,
and I've worked at Auburn three times. When I was sixteen years old
for a company called Sofo Shows, worked for Carnival Sofo Shows Carnival. It
was poor my mom, so this guy's gorgeous billy mother was disabled. When
as I got older, I used to work for an advertising company here and
here in Auburn called Haynes Publishing. They did their Yellow Pages here. So
i have my roots here in Auburn, and I'm the positive guy that's right
now handed out over a hundred backpacks to the kids in Central New York when
school started, over one hundred winter coats to all the families here in Auburn.
That's the problems here. Here's here's the problem though, Like that's all
great, but that doesn't you have to like when you're gonna make this type
of argument, you can't talk about what a great guy you are, because
even Oj was a great guy and he give it a two barns, yet
winner coats over a hundred of them. I'm also the guy that's sparks from
six as well as another another six families throughout Wayne County. But I'd like
to like to give you a real quick their name soon so you know where
they're from. Start saming them in. A guy stops he's fillibus. Here's
the thing that I think with this guy, David Tully. I don't know
David Tully. Unfortunately, you got to play by the rules. Yeah,
you know, that's the because they had locked all his stores. They can't
get in. Now he's facing millions of dollars in fines. I don't know.
In this Auburn piece, he said he was the number one dispensary in
the channel third, which is I don't know when that was from. It
was a YouTube video that you could plea bark it down to a stolen Kia
and just get out of it. Uh. But when somebody's going to write
about it, of course it's been demonized. So you get some conservative guy
in in a rural part of the state and they don't want it here.
They think it right, all the problems and stuff, do you know,
refer so, but to go in there and stay to me, I feel
like this is the guy that gives dispensaries a bad name. Yeah, only
because you're up there trying to say all the great things you did. Sometimes
it's better to let people discover the great things you did. To go oh
that guy. Let them come to your Kevin. You know, the best,
the best advertising you're ever going to get is word of mouth, right,
I mean I remember saying to somebody, Hey, you gotta check it.
They got to BMW they needed a new radiator. It was right around
they just supply chain issues. Yeah he did. And I remember saying the
guy, you gotta check out the little speech shop. He had a place
he had been going to for years. They when he and talk to you
guys about it. It was faster and thousands of dollars cheaper. You got
a fan for life. But he claims he didn't know about it. Word
of mouth and I'm just saying, like, those are the best things.
Yeah, that's how Jesus got started. Don't go to your doctor. Jesus.
Sometimes I want to walk crazy. He got friends day, they split
the seasons, right, Yeah, he walks on water. Go see Jesus.
Sometimes you find that to get your radiator fix. You find a little
something in the glove box from a little speed shop. Oh yeah, well
we could start a dispensary. Yeah. Well it's so funny though, because
it's so funny because like there's the big Indian, the big Indian gas station
in Irving, New York reservation. You buy gas, right, you buy
gas there and they'll give you a receipt. They go, hey, here's
your receipt. Wink wink. That receipt is being used to go get a
joint. I'm not joking. But it's not a reservation. Oh yeah,
but it's on the reservation. They could get away with it. Yeah,
you can't do that off the resume with purchase right, that's what it is.
Well, that's what they are trying. And there was a place in
Henrietta that was doing this in some other places, it's just one is McDonald.
If they're gonna if they're going to allow it to be legal, you
gotta speed this up and make it. You can't make it. It's hard
for but no, there's red tape, there's drafting, all this other stuff,
a lot of red tape. This guy, though, I'm like,
if you get bad pressed to stand up and started talking about how virtuous you
are, it's gonna backfall. You come off like you do you look you
look bad, that's all you come off like. Like, there's this one
place that's known for these things called garbage plates in town. I'm not gonna
say who they are, but they love to talk about like how much they've
done for the community, how awesome they are, and blah blah blah.
But it's like, dude, I don't who nobody cares. I don't remember
that, did they? This is this is like when I was at Duchy
Gotta call up and he talks about how awesome the Greeks were and how stupid
Americans are, and it's like, all right, shut up, get off.
Well, I don't I don't know what'll happen with this this poor dude.
I tried to reach out to him and see if you would come on
give Danny two glasses whiskey. But in Auburn he's saying he's the number one
dispensary in the state and it wasn't his choice. And in channel thirteen he
goes, we're not selling anything to anybody. We're consulting and we're explaining the
product to you. Now. I did go into a CBD shop in Rhinebeck
and I have CBD butter and the guy was explaining, like, all this
stuff on your steak, it's amazing. Well it's supposed to like be really
good to you know, sort of muscles, that sort of thing, and
and but he explained it in depth. But they don't have anything that you
could buy that would be have any THHC in it. Yeah, that's a
that's the thing. That's the thing. But when you when you play,
when you play games with the rules though, and I feel bad for this
guy really because New York State sucks. But when you play games and the
US like, well, we're a consultancy, You're you're using semantics when you
feel like the state keeps moving the goalposts, they do that. That's the
shitty part they do. Yeah, you know, State moves the goalposts.
Yeah, you know what I mean. It's like, yeah, we're gonna
move it over here now. Yeah. If they weren't done that in Super
Bowl twenty five, the Bills would have had a Super Bowl right one.
At this point, they just moved it a little. I was rooting against
him then I was a Giants fan. I know, you sick bastard.
He's a bandwagon guy. Here's how I became a Bills fan. All those
years we broadcast in training camp and you got to know the players. Yeah,
and you were up close. And then guys like Gregg and he's still
and you see, yeah, you get close to Josh Allen. Now you
can't knop I rooted during the twenty years of misery. That's what everybody uses
as they're like they're the batch of honor. That is your batch of honor.
I got my card here. We don't say anybody who says you're a
Patriots family because of Brady. No. I was there when they were one
in fifteen. I remember Raymond Barry was the head coach. They were terrible.
Yeah, I don't remember that there was. Dick McPherson was the head
coach of the one in fifteen season, but they were bad before that.
Oh okay, what's gonna happen? Yeah, well, now we're waiting to
see, uh if the Jets are gonna get even more powerful from Oh okay,
I'm gonna give you an answer cooking your kitchen, baby, No,
you don't think so, short answer. No, how are he gonna go
to Miami? Doesn't matter. He's washed up, he's done. Okay,
it's burn out running back like that joint that dude was smoking before he took
the stand over at an Auburn. I mean that's the thing. It's like,
this guy's going on and on and on. I'm like, and you
have to see him even on TV. He looks kind of almost he almost
looks like, well like a three one five who got a job. I
don't know. It's a bad suit and I go, come on, man,
but I would love to talk to him, just to hear more from
his side, what was going on and how hard is it because we haven't
seen I think a legal dispensary where you and I could just walk in there,
show our ID, prove that we're of age, and then leave with
a purchase. Come on, Governor, you gotta weed Mark chain. I
do seven stars. We'll take him on board the employees. But first,

dying. How many That isn't the best? Keep it up man, Look
before to What's next, and be sure to like and subscribe to Bilified wherever
you get your podcast. So Unfiltered an average is the podcast that's stephany Id
and Katie do. And I listened to that. Yeah, they're doing it
like once a week, and then something happened. Stephanie had an issue pop
up when we're supposed to tape a new episode Sunday, and then they were
going to stick around for Billified and we didn't. So I haven't put up
the next episode because we've been trying to work ahead just in case so this
wouldn't happen, right, you know, so I could have put it out.
I just don't know when they're gonna get back in, and so I
need to talk to Stephanie. And then my week got crazy, and but
we have episode five ready to go. I just we just haven't posted yet.
But if you haven't checked out episode four, it's pretty insightful. Stephanie's
very open about very very very very very open. That's all I will say.
You know what's funny is I'm watching today I went outside. Sometimes it's
just it was a beautiful day. You're running on the canal. The bridge
goes up when a boat comes through, and I'm thinking, I want to
look into renting a boat next year for like a week or whatever. I
lived on a houseboat for two weeks and Lake Powell thirty years ago, and
it was awesome. And you can just rent these boats. And Ato's say
people renting him. So the bridge is coming through, and I'm like,
all of a sudden, I started laughing. I'm like, this would be
the greatest shitty move in an eight eighties comedy. Like, you know,
the kids are doing something at home, Hey man, I need fifteen more
minutes. My mom and dad are on Main Street. Put up the bridge,
you know what I mean. So they can't go through. So the
bridge goes up, and you watch everybody. They're standing there, but you
can still walk. When the bridge is all the way up, they're stairs
and you can go up and walk across the bridge at its highest level and
then back down the stairs on the other side. Oh yeah, that's right,
you can't. You can't. It's pretty cool. So I was watching
people. I was watching people do that, but I go, man,
want to move. That would be if you just needed like fifteen more minutes
just to do something like get your mistress out of the house. Boom that
bridge goes up. You gotta have a buddy, gotta have a buddy inside
on the inside there. Speaking of that, I did. So I'm talking
to somebody today and not being married. You're married. You're married, and
you're married. And I don't know if this even goes on in your world
or not, but somebody told me that when their parents used to fight and
get an arguments, that the mom she remember seeing the mom go to the
bathroom, take the water out with a ladle out of the toilet and put
that in the coffee maker and make the coffee for her dad. This is
what I was told. Now I don't know, but I'm like disgust.
That is awful, isn't it. You would think like it would have to
I can't believe this, but it would be water, right, some urine
in there and that's so it's not all your and it's a little mixture.
But I went that is pretty deviant anybody, and pretty no, but could
you imagine? And I'm thinking, like, what is the worst that did?
It was? I've never thought of that. I was married. I
never even thought to do anything that would be revengeful like that, Like there
was stuff. So so they're like, yeah, yeah, put put.
I did a whole thing, a whole search online and there were stories of
women cutting holes in their husban underwear or making sure he had the shitty,
stinky, moldy towel in the bathroom when he got out. And I'm like,
I never ever, but I went a point as like the coffeemaker boil
that. While that's if you Scott, that's probably all distilled out. Any
I was married once before, but just the idea of it is gross.
I was Mary once before, and I could I don't think my ex wife
was smart enough to do anything like that, but I don't either, But
like she would, she would say some evil things, but she would never
go to people. That sounds like you should be married, right right right
yeah, because even when I I go, I don't ever remember doing even
thinking of doing something like stop and say it out loud. And if you
could say it out loud with a straight face, that you got a problem,
you catch yourself and go, wait a minute, what what am I
thinking here? What am I doing here? Yeah, that's that's just ridiculous.
Well, because there was one story word I rather be cheated on than
have someone make me coffee out of a toilet. Yes, a lesson in
jail. No, you wouldn't want to be cheated then over that or the
coffee. I drink the coffee. Now, there was one that made me
laugh. A woman will get upset with her husband, so she would just
leave random screws around the house and he'd be trying to figure out where they
came from, like what device was falling apart? And she liked to watch
him. But even that, I go, you know which fun is the
satisfaction? I've been told now Beth and I have been told now she's my
wife three different times. I mean, you guys get along really well.
I'm like, what is is that not the norm? You've only been married
for how we've been together for like seven more years? His wife get along
really well? I mean we yeah, I mean but I've never really worked
twenty four hours a day. Yeah. But people were like they're almost like
surprised. Everybody's always happy at four years, Okay, get to twenty four
where you're at all right, all right, Kevin, I don't I don't
know, I don't know, right even She's like, she asked, because
is that weird to you, I go, well, based on my last
marriage, maybe based on my last manage. The only other one I've ever
had about hers wasn't she married? She was married for about fifteen years,
and that dude was a complete like dope fifteen years yeah wow, Yeah,
and he was just just an absolute like jackass. I guess what was the
straw? He just he was always in between jobs. Would he would like
he would tell her the money you make is our money, The money I
make is mind mind. He's one of those types, very lazy, had
no ambition, but that somehow was able to have like an affair. Yeah,
you know, and he just just have the money. Can't take that
out of the joint account. I'm I'm hearing all kinds of stuff, like
there was somebody what else do I here today? Somebody getting a divorced and
they're wondering how this woman has all this money and she has a job.
But they go, there's no way she can afford all the things she's doing,
trips, the places she's taking the kids, doing all this stuff,
and she's always got to go meet somebody. And they think that maybe she's
hooking on the side, like yeah, well or just going you know during
the day in the neighborhood. I don't know. I know the person who
told me this and I went, I wonder if that happens more and more,
and then you know, these dating apps and things like I'm starting to
think that I always say, and they make fun of me. The barrier
to entry is on everything, it's just gone, right, But the barrier
to entry, like you could do your podcast and you can put it out
there and you can make money. We no longer have to have taxi cabs.
There's the barrier to entry. You could be Hubert lift all that stuff.
Pretty much on everything is gone. Marijuana, It's basically gone. You
have to learn to pretty much govern yourself right. Because we have fast food
restaurants that are open twenty four to seven. You can eat the shittiest I
mean like you could really go down a destructive path without even touching anything that
would be deemed illegal. I mean, eat the shitty food, you know
what I mean. Watch TV all the time. You can buy flat screens
for next to nothing, you know what I'm saying, Like smart TV is
all this stuff, But I go, boy, even the dating apps,
I'm starting to wonder if they just having this conversation with somebody. Go,
boy, I think you're better off going out in the wild and meeting somebody
than you are in a dating is That's really funny because like you think about
it now, like right, like we're all married and stuff like that,
but like how how it was back when we were single, like like a
long time ago, right right right, and we just have to like talk
to people to talk to talk to people, to talk to any you had
to learn how to develop a game, develop a game, you had to
you had to, like, but have a conversation was like the most important
thing that she was walk up and like you know, like you'd blew it
right away when you'd walk up. Sometimes you walk up and you're like,
yeah, that didn't work whatever, and then like and the next time it
worked like whatever it did, right, But like now, well see you
can fake everything right, every single thing. So this is where you can't
know exactly. I remember when I was when I was like before you and
I met Billy, like back at the early early two thousands, I was
on match dot com and every date I had these chicks did not look like
the pictures that they sent me, Like they were all lying. What your
pictures when you met that was it one and done? Just that would have
a nice conversation, that would be it. We heard did you like meet
him in? Yeah? Yeah, we would eventually like me because you'd be
chatting. I'm like, okay, you do not look like your pictures.
So I heard on a podcast so that you didn't look like your picture they're
from like seventy three different girls. Really, what did you make that up?
Yeah? So when you got work stuff, there was a So here's
what I'm thinking. I think that these apps are and give the power to
women. And here's why. Because you find the one good looking guy,
he's overwrought, right, They're all trying to get to that one guy.
There's a bunch of other guys out there that have had you met them out
in the wild. Maybe at first you're going not exactly my type, but
then you have a conversation, you find out something. He's funny. I
really like his sense of humor. You like his family or you like that
he's family focused, he talks about you know what I mean, and all
this stuff that you start to go, WHOA, those are things I really
like. And another person that I never got a chance to see on a
dating app because I was interested in the hot guy who turned out to be
a total tool. Anyway, I know a couple who actually met like that
because they were swiping and they all get this person's shot, right, they
like they felt that way about each other. Yeah, and you know they
were They would text a little bit, but they weren't the most interested person
of all the people they were talking to at the time. But once they
got to know each other a little bit, they realized that they were a
match. Yeah, you know, but they wouldn't have known that a head
they not calling out and given each other a shot. I just I mean,
and I'm hearing this, and look, I'm alone, right, and
everybody's going get on a dating app. Get out. I'm like, I
absolutely will not get on it. First I wouldn't get on a dating app.
But when my sons were in here, who were twenty two and twenty
one, they're on dating apps. Oh, how's it going? Well,
I don't know. I know Jackson by the way, Jackson is pretty good.
He's like six seven, now, I know, and uh I see
pictures, yes, yeah, but I don't I don't know how it's going.
I think he's had. I think he's had some awkward moments with people
he met that maybe didn't like. Danny said, didn't really look like it.
Jordan wouldn't really. I don't think they want to tell their dad.
I think it was sort of a funny thing in the moment they both went
yeah, and then once the word yeah left their mouth, they're like,
oh shit, now I admit it, you know. So I don't know
how it's going for them, But I'm just I know a lot of people
like my age, right after divorced, they get back on the app and
I go, oh, man, I think you're better off meeting somebody out
where, even if they're not let's say, yeah, they're you know,
you give them, I don't know what, an eight instead of ten,
and you go, but they're funny, and then you start to really like
him and they're interesting and you find out that you know they're actually ken carry
a conversation. Those magnets you got to pull together and you start yeah.
I just think like, because the barrier to enter you with dating, now
you can shoot it all. They drink every time I say it, but
I haven't said it a lot lately. But I'm just saying like it's with
everything. It's gone. It's with everything you know and you can. You
can have or be or do anything you want, well, good or bad.
You got to learn to govern absolutely, But it's now it's it's completely
on you. It's up to you make it happen. Yes, don't stay
anymore so we can govern the rest of our rides home. Yeah, I
saw you guys drinking all that whiskey. That is some delicious No. No,
I would love too. I guess how much are you down? I'm
down probably about like eighteen pounds. Holy shit a minute, You're like you
look pretty ripped. No offense. I was more before. I like I
was doing really good in life and stuff like that, and then I started
drinking. Wres a little speech up. Yeah, but like yeah, I
just like I was like, you know what, this is ridiculous. I
gotta get back into the gym and do stuff and like like I used to
do. And I'm just like I can't. I can't drink it. I
st alcohol. It's just like COVID. You start drinking. That's what That's
what happened now, Like everybody and me and everybody else, like everybody,
we started drinking way too much. Everybody started drinking way too much and then
just got it out of hand. Yeah, and I'm like, I gotta
stop, right so and I found even like when I started this, my
schedule now would be more late night. Right. So you're editing and you're
doing this. Now, you're up later, you get tired, you start
shoving things, another beer not whatever, like and then when you have alcohol
and you're just like, I'm hungry. Yeah, you start yeah, two,
three, four. Pretzels are my favorite things. A fan of beer
and pretzels. Put a little mustard sauce out. I'm in. Oh yeah,
almost three days a drug a peanut butter pretzels we got at home.
Yeah. See that's another one I can't Yeah because I would, yeah,
I know, yeah, because it's that salt like sweet, you're done good,
it's so good. Yeah. Yeah, So Danny, this is right
up your alley. Cool. Do you think people just can't take a joke
anymore? Oh? Absolutely, I'm not sure if people are offended. I
know all the time. I do think like, I'm yeah, I'm offended
that you're offended. Kind of thing has gotten a little crazy, but they
did. Uh someone pulled six thousand Americans and did ask that, do you
think all white people people like I'm offended? I don't know. Do you
think people just can't take a joke anymore? Or are we constantly offended out
because more people joke about stuff that should be off limits. I don't know.
I mean, I think the I think the times have changed a little
bit, but I feel like we almost soften ourselves. I think at the
barrier to stuff you with with Twitter. No, I'm serious. With social
media and everything else, everybody's out. The beauty of social media is that
everybody's got a voice. Yes, the curse of social media voice. So
now all it takes is one person to make a point and somebody else who
likes that person, who respects that person, who wants to curry favor with
that person, to say that's bs to Now I'll start a cascade of anger
and by the way, a lot of its bots. But at the end
of the day, it's all kissing the ass of whoever has a blue check
or whoever is a celebrity. Yeah, I mean, I got into it
once with an ESPN guy who ripped Metallica during the Clammys, and he said,
Lars is is it true that Lars is the best, is the worst
drummer, the worst musician of Metallica. I go, why don't you stay
in your lane and stick the sports? Oh my god, and he and
he came back at me and all his like fans like attacked me. But
I'm like, bro, you tried doing three hund beats a minute on a
drum, kid, you can't. You can't. He's gotta be in like
marathon type shape to do a three hour of Metallica show. And by the
way, Lars and James right all the Metallica songs and they're still the biggest
metal band in the world. But I agree, I see I always see
that shit Kevin and I normally just like, yeah, I learned my lesson.
I learned my lessons, Like that's the way I. I don't know
if that's like being too passive in the world we live in now, but
I stop being passive. But I often think, like I even watched with
the whole thing with COVID whether people got vaccinated or not vaccinated, right,
And I had Shannon Joy who was in here, and she would not get
vaccinated, and she was very vocal about it, very upset over certain restaurants
that wouldn't let you in here in Fairport unless you were vaccinated. And I
do know the owner and his family, and there were some compromise immune systems
in their home, and that was part of the deal that you had to
prove vaccination. I go, yeah, but he has the right to do
that as much as you have the right to say it, I won't be
vaccinated. Can't we come to that conclusion were I have a friend who did
not and their family did not get vaccinated, and they never said fucking boo.
They didn't say anything. They just were fine. Yeah, And but
they also knew that they wouldn't go into that restaurant and they weren't going to
raise a stink because they knew it this would eventually pass and they'd go back
and that was just it, and it wasn't going to be this thing that
divided and I don't know where where that is. And maybe, well there
was this fear that that was the conditioning of this is how the world's gonna
go. Yes, there was this fear, like there was a lot of
uncertainty, and I think then uncertainty raised more fears put everybody on I alert,
like Shannon joy and I, you know, and I followed some of
her stuff and I agree and disagree with a lot of it, just like
anybody. And I think she was one of those people I was afraid,
like, this is just another step in that is what she that is when
you get down to the core of what it is. That is what she
is about freedom. Yeah, Like in other words, how am I going
to see? How am I going to sleep? How much as we say
we want freedom, they're telling us to do this. That's not freedom.
If I don't have a choice, that's not freedom. And she and that
I can't disagree with, right, But then again, if the freedom is
to be able to do it or not do it, that that's my thing.
And I go, boy, I don't weigh into these arguments because I'd
rather just, I don't know, focus on shit. It just feels like
noise. A lot of times. It's a lot of noise. That's what
I felt like. This whole thing is like everybody is so segregated, yes,
And I'm like right down the middle. I'm like, I'm listening to
you and listening to you and like it's kind of yeah, just keep my
ship right here, right because quiet ye keep your head down, you know
what I mean, because this like it's fine, like whatever, like it's
I don't care. Yeah, well, you guys were arguing I was making
a living and uh, hey look what I did. Yeah wow, yeah,
you know you know what I'm saying. I don't know what that that
is because right now I have something kind of going on in uh, in
my family. And I said to somebody, I go, there's gonna be
a lot of a lot coming at you. And the one thing, but
life will always be coming at you, and the one thing you've got to
do is be steady in who you are and realize too that anybody who's giving
you opinion, it's really especially in this situation, it's coming from a place
of love, because it's only out of concern. And it may come loud
and it may come in this way, but that's it. But the only
thing you can't you can't because what will happen is it's like being the small
kid in a bounce house and all of a sudden, the fat kid comes
in and now you're fucking bouncing on feeling all right. And that's what happens
with our emotions when people start coming at us with shit, and I go,
You've got to just learn to stay steady. It's not easy, but
you do that, you're gonna be happier than ever. Do you find that
inside you? I don't know where all this came from, but it comes
when I hear this stuff about they do this survey. Are people offended by
a joke? It feels like the fringes are the loudest right now. They
are, and I feel the most obnoxious. So people don't want to hear
it, so they just cater to those fringes. So like comics don't want
to go to colleges, Well, we exactly because sometimes you're right, You're
right. That isn't like I was trying to do something for the show,
and well we need to see a tape of their set. I'm like,
okay, it's gotta be rough being a comic right now. Like rough,
Well, if you're if you're gonna be saying some yes because they're there are
certain jokes that just don't fly anymore, right, I mean, they're just
jokes, even if you were to imitate somebody. I love it when there
have been some young kids because I've been hosting the funniest person in Rochester contest
and the finals would be next Wednesday. And there's a kid in town.
He's twenty one years old. Uh, he's from Penfield. I think his
parents are not big fans of him doing comedy and his parents are immigrants.
But he did this whole thing and he could say things about being brown and
like where is this? Tell me about tell me more about it? Said
the comedy at the Carlston. It will be the finals are when next Wednesday
night? Okay, yeah, so this kid is I'm gonna have to do
something earlier yet, shut because it's from seven to nine is the Uh.
I think it starts at seven or seven thirty. So, but this kid
is fantastic And like one of his jokes in the beginning was, you know
they go around, he goes, I remember the first day of school and
they would go, uh Bob, Bob Smith, Bob Smith, and they're
looking around and they you know, uh, Sheila and they're looking around and
the thing and then his name was like, I don't know, Mohammed or
something, and they go Muhammed and I'm mispronouncing your name and he's like,
I haven't even said here yet. You know, because you stand out like
he can make those jokes. If somebody else made those jokes, I don't
know that. My name is George Bromham, but it is funny that,
like you could get some people can say that. I think everybody can say
whatever they want and if people get offended, that's it. And we've uh
you know, when Pete Herman died, we called it the uh. I
was like he was the first cancel culture because he was caught in that uh
dirty movie theater he had that he was jerking off or whatever and there,
but it was like who got hurt? Who got hurt? Who got hurt?
Nobody got hurt, nobody got I remember when that story came out,
I was little, right, he exposed himself and I'm like, what do
you do? Just people? I didn't understand what that meant yea at the
time, but like I mean again, like it did blow that up.
And then Bill Cosbie's like, what did the guy do? Really? Yeah,
Cosby's the one who stood up. And then we were like, oh,
yeah, okay, But then there was that yeah he did the OJ
stands up for him. Oh and then in oh four it was they going
in they get his art election and they say it's pedophilia or it's child porn
that he had, and it turns out it was it was just a DVD
of Blue Lagoon. All charges were drops, but it's like, you know,
some of this stuff. So he was canceled. He lost his show
for a little while and then came back. But then the one I forgot
about was Evil Knevil. What happened to El Kanevil when he lost his fucking
mind and went after that guy with a baseball bat? Had no idea?
Yeah, I because I remember watching the documentary he got brought up last night
on Prime and then I didn't realize but they pulled all the toys and everything.
I think it was Mattel that had his toys. They pulled him off
all the shelves because he got arrested. So so that's being canceled, right,
That's like the earliest cancel I can think of. But now for legit,
I mean, you know, if you go beat somebody, probably not
somebody I want my kid looking up to, necessarily, but yeah, he
beat some guy with a baseball bat. I remember Jim and the Greek got
canceled al Campanas. But why I think there was money or I don't know
what it was. I don't remember or if there it was something that I'd
have to go back and watch that documentary because I did enjoy learn more about
Evil Knevil. You know what's really funny is like, um My, on
my mom's side of the family, my cousins were involved in the Joy Chitwood
Chill Oh really. Yeah. They would go there and help with the cars
and set ups and stuff like that for like a bunch of years and things
like that. Like I had no idea until like recently, and I was
like, remember Joey Chitwood. Yeah, that guy was kind of like Evel
Knevil. It was yeah cars, yep, yeah, pretty neat. Do
you guys know that? So hang on a second. So they did all
that and you didn't know it. I didn't really realize. Yeah, I
just I was like too young, No, I know, But it isn't
that funny how that? Like I almost like but that interesting cars? Yeah,
it almost seems like it's genetic, not necessarily a learned or an environmental
thing. No, like Danny started with the whiskey. Yeah not great great
great grandkids. Yeah, but Kevin, I think after watching that fast and
loud ago. Man, they should put some cameras around your shop. I
know. So have you seen our social media recently? We have this great
kid, the kid Yeah, I've seen really sending up drones over the uh.
I bought a drone last year and this kid's like, yeah, I
just like do a couple of things and it just like flies around for like
an hour and then just lands by itself and I just changed the battery and
it takes off again. Oh he's gotten an auto. I don't know know,
Like I'm like dumb, I have no idea, Like I'm still trying
to figure out my iPhone. But like he's like this thing flying around and
doing all the stuff, and uh yeah, I'm like super excited about it.
Like it's great and like I like I talked to you about like I
want to do some like yeah fun stuff like going around seeing meeting some people
that have someone's cars and garages like nobody knows about and doing that kind of
stuff. I think we would have a lot of fun doing that. There's
a couple that I've met some people that now have I think one of the
guys from Terry Reservice. They sold it, but the son of the owner
and I think they sold that business. I don't know if I'll get in
trouble for you can say, but he's got a warehouse in town full of
cars full Kevin, it's too like. See, I've like I've heard about
like healthcat in there. He's got Porsches in there. He's got a Ferrari.
Yeah, I've heard about a bunch of I took a turbo out on
the road and we did some I took one of the turbos out for a
ride. Yeah, the portion of nine to eleven turbo. But then he
has I mean, everything's in there, but you know, it's all up
on different racks. And I hear that the collection has grown. So I
don't know because these cars aren't. I mean, boy, you know you
talk about one of the things we were all taught is it's a depreciating value.
It's not until you get to a certain get Yeah, it depends on
where you get. Like you're not like depreciating anything, no, but the
but the I mean like the air cool Porsches. Now, we talked about
remember that white one that we made, Yes, yes, yeah, like
that thing's worth way more than we put into it. Yeah, oh yeah,
yeah, yeah, like you could sell it. Why even I'm I'm
even amazed at some guys who just know certain cars, Like even I'm watching
that show. They buy Ah, what was the um the Back to the
Future car? Okay, so somebody so they find it Delirian, they buy
it. I think they bought it for like five grand. And some guy,
see he does nothing to it. Still all the barn dust and bird
shit on it and everything. And some guy comes out, this is what
he loves Deloreans and he had drives out in a Delirian. He's having a
truck to come get it. And he paid twelve grand, yeah to buy
it easy, yeah, and they did nothing. It was just a flip.
Yeah, just a flip. He knew that, right, Yeah yeah?
But could the car go into the future, Billy, Yeah, that's
the thing that's you know, come out, grab some seal wool. Uh.
Well, we will take a moment's some basketball player is offering a price

The only place to connect. Have you heard the story of the hot rod
race with the Fords and the Leggers were setting the face set story, It's
true. I'm here to say I was driving that Model AID. It's got
a Lincoln motor and it's really suited up. That Model AID body makes it
looked like a pub's got eight cylinders and uses them all. Got over just
with a foe bare carbon, a Dolok sauce with polar and lost lost planet
Airman, but dyeing scared that breaks good guys. Fair pulled out of Pago
late one night and the moon and the stars was shining bright. We was
driving up great fine hill peasant cars like they was standing still. And I've
loved driving fast forever, so it's just funny because I was talking about talking
to someone who's looking for a new car, and they said, I would
buy a Lincoln and the new Lincoln SUV that's out and it looks really stylish.
It almost so stylish. They look really stylish to the point where they
almost don't look rugged, like they could probably do anything. But you know
what I mean, they was like very sleek, but they yes, and
that's Lincoln's thing though, like they've always been sleek and stylish. Okay,
So, like this person said, it's almost because it's like it's got the
moniker of being an old person car and I go, the worst, Yeah,
isn't it. That's why they brought in They brought in McConaughey. But
I don't know that it's really worth. It's not worth. I don't think
it really worked because all the old people are like cool, dude, like
sixty plus, like that's all it is. So my friend, really good
friend of mine, his father owned a dealership down in North Jersey, a
Lincoln dealership, and um, that's all it's been. Like they sold so
many like Lincoln town cars for like forever forever Lincoln town cars for like taxi
services and this and that, and also everything was black like whatever, and
uh, but it was from years and years ago when they had like all
the really old Lincoln's and stuff like that there, and it's like wild,
it's wild. It's like it's like they're all Italians. Yeah yeah, of
course say yeah, yeah. No. The new Lincoln Suv. I mean
it looks great. They are, but they're uh they almost look I shouldn't
say it this way, but they look sort of like a pussy car.
You want something with little balls behind it. I do, Well, it's
like that. That's why it looks. Oh yeah, And I do like
the range Rover. I don't know why. I've always liked the range Rover
or the uh what did I see just was coming back in that line.
They just brought it back, and they were bringing it back in its old
boxy style Broncos. No, the Bronco looks yeah, yeah, and they
did that, truly, they did bring that back. But no, was
the land Cruiser. Oh yeah, they brought back the land Cruise literally just
came out. Yeah, within the twenty four hours or something like that.
They have a whole new yeah, like retro land land Cruiser. And I
thought that looked cool. And I've driven land cruisers before and done some off
road in them, and I thought they were great, old old land cruiser.
I don't know about like these new ones are, like, well,
you know what's so great about all the new ships now? And you'll know
this better than anybody is. It's just a button touch now you go,
four wheel, two wheel, front wheel, back wheel, you know what
I mean. I like to get out and like change the hub. I
know, I want to get out and like walk up front and like turn
each hubbed up four wheel drive. I don't. Yeah, you're probably the
only one. Yeah, no, and like that. I think there are
a lot of guys that like doing that and you and you trust that it's
gonna work, and it feels weird. No, it's gonna work. That's
gonna say a clank at work because you go with the button. You're like,
but I'll say this, man, I got a flat on a Dodge
Ram truck and I took out their jack and I'm getting it up. I
must have wrenched my back fucking doing that. I go, I haven't done
I haven't done that and forever, but it was with where the bad part
is like sometimes they give you tools with these trucks that I like the hydraulic
jack. It's a little just like you know, it's gonna get these guys
a tool. Yeah, get the But it worked. But the great thing
was my youngest kid was with me, and I could go, this is
how we changed the tire. Yeah, because and I had him loosening the
lug nuts. He goes, well, don't you have to jack it up
first? No, no, no, no, we do that on the
ground, loosen them up, then we'll jack it up. Then you take
him on. Oh that's how you do. Okay, all right, So
Danny, yes, sir, would you pay six hundred and ninety nine dollars
to play one on one with Miami heats Jimmy Butler? Yes you would?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, absolutely shit. I thought I go, I
would do that. Oh yeah, okay. So Jimmy Butler is offering fans
but I get like seven points if we're going to eleven, I get seven
and a half, right, and I get to use the trampoline to dunk.
You get ten and you still Yeah. According to man So from w
PLG in Miami, Butler is giving fans the chance to play against him one
on one for a fee of six hundred ninety nine dollars. This promotion is
not limited to campers because he's running a camp. I think it's a camp
for basketball and cheerleaders. It's a basketball and cheerleading camp in Fort Lauderdale,
and and so anybody, So as parents are invited if they wanted to to
participate, and Butler is willing to face any challenger regardless of age or gender.
Wow, but it's six hundred ninety nine dollars and it's not redeemable,
and it doesn't say it goes to charity and Jimmy Butler making a shit ton
of money anyway. Yeah, but as as Latrelle Spreemel once said famously,
yeah, we make a lot of money, but we spend a lot of
money too. That was Patrick Ewing. No, Patrick Ewing said, no,
we're just trying to feed our families. That was Patrick Ewing. Latrelle
Speer rolls. On the other thing, Latrell Sprewell was the guy to try
to choke out moments, right but he so I'm watching it. I go
I thought six hundred ninety nine dollars was too high a barrier to entry for
people to you know what I mean. I'm like, are you gonna blow
that when you're just paying for your kid to go to camp and go,
hey, I'm gonna take on Jimmy Butler and one and once so I can
get embarrassed. Will be like, hey, let's play a bust of seven.
I can't get embarrassed. And they said the money's not refundable. I'm
like, this makes no sense. But then I thought, who would you?
How much would you pay to have Josh Allen fire a pass at you
as you, I don't know, run a button hook down the field?
How don't do we know somebody who can help us with Well, I'm just
saying, like, you avoid the price because people would want people would pay.
I'd pay for it. I'd pay for me and my nephew, and
you would pay for that. I would like I would love to see,
like how fast that pass come? Yes, I might actually send my Well
you were done out there? You could play. That's big enough. You
could play talking about tight end in the NFL, you know what I mean?
You could be out there and running. I did that in high school
and I was, yeah, this is too much. You're like the Tim
Tebow of cars, and would you pay two grand for? Why would know?
I think you get to play. You get to play one on one
with Jimmy Butler. You get one throw from Josh Allen. We get one
throw from Josh Allen. Maybe one hundred bucks tops tops. I feel like
one throw versus a game of one on one year say actual time with the
dude? Five? Yeah, one on one? I don't know. See
again, it doesn't say like one on one to what? How many points
are we playing to? Twenty one? Are we playing to seven? You're
a target score. I'll tell you about Danny. I'll sweeten the deal for
you. You get to catch from Josh for five hundred, but you gotta
go across the middle of Ray Lewis's ten yards on the line. I would
be in for that, Like, I just want to kind of see how
it goes. I want to marrow him for two weeks, but like you,
I want straw. Now, how about with baseball? Who would you?
By the way, what what the fuck did the Mets do? The
Mets are fine. The Mets actually got the Mets. The Mets did what
they were supposed to do. The Mets like they got Virland and went back
to Houston for less than they paid for him originally. The process, it's
the prospects. Steve Cohen's not an idiot, He's a hedge fund manager.
I just went You had everything to go to the World Series and it wasn't
gonna work out, so they bailed that picked on the pick. These guys
up are contending for at least the AL Championship, the Texas Rangers and the
and they they knew they couldn't beat the Braves. Okay, that was it.
They can't be the Braves. Why they're not being stupid like and by
the way, the Yankees o reasonly killing Cashman. Kill Cashing for the way
he built the roster. Don't kill cash because he didn't make a trade.
The Yankees were stuck. They had nothing to offer. They weren't going to
give up their farm system, so what were they gonna do? So there
was nothing they could do. Like now, if you want to kill Cashman
for putting the roster in the position where they are stuck, you could do
that. But for doing nothing get the trade line. There was nothing they
could do. Or was it more than Cashman couldn't make trades because he's gonna
be out of a job. No, he ain't going anywhere. The Yankee
front office isn't going anywhere. Video. Does anybody freaking understand that? Does
anybody read the Times of Wayne County? No? Please, I line my
litter box? Um you use it? What are you talking about? I'm
a little hurt you. I'm a little hurt, but I'm offended by what
you just so much? Would you pay to face Fernlander in a batting back?
Oh, I wouldn't I get hit. I'd be scared. I'd be
more scared to face just the Verlander that catches the pass with Josh Allen Kevin,
how thousand did you play baseball? Like really? Yea? Yeah?
That was about it, Like I just I got parted with it? What
about uh? Yeah? And then I played like, um football in high
school and stuff like that. And then by my senior year, I was
like this sucks. I'm like I want to go hang on. So well,
that's my baseball players developed like addictions like to like you know, skull
and all this stuff because there's so much downtime you're just sitting there. Addictions
to what like like tobacco and all. That's why that's why Tony Gwinn died
because he died of like you know, boredom, of like mouth cancer.
But he was like because he would chew all it. Oh did you say
skull? Yeah? Yeah? What about who would you pay to race against
if you could go one on one on on and walking slendy like I haven't,
man, there's like a like so many cool I've met so many cool
people like I would love to like who's the head of the Mercedes UH Formula
One team? Total Total Wolf Total Wolf? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
that guy he actually raced, Yeah he did, and then see them like
that. He was like I just didn't really have it all. But he
was really good. He was a really good manager. So and he's a
great owner. I see, great, yeah, great owner. I still
don't understand it. I'm like, how does this dude like owning these teams
like part owners and the teams and stuff like that Like this That's where I
think I'm seeing. Isn't Michael Jordan expanding into other forms of racing? He
was in NASCAR, but he's getting into dirt or something I thought he might
be. He might be. Yeah, well he comes to Watkins Glen every
year. But he's like so like concealed. He's like like to just bring
him in, like bring him right back out and like nobody sees him because
he's free throws. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah, so I've never seen
him, but like, you know, Kimmy Reichenan came last year, you
know, Kimmy Reckon and was like a very famous F one driver. So
that was actually really fun that we got to like be really close to him.
Are they doing? Do they get Formula one ever down there? I
haven't seen that. No, it's years, right, Yeah. The track
is like a I can't remember this, don't quote me. Yeah, but
I thought it was like a level two track now like a Level one like
a Formula one track. Yeah, because of the runoff in the in the
type of walls and stuff like that or whatever it is. But after they
repaved it it got up to level in like twenty sixteen, I think when
they were paved it, okay, whatever, Yeah, I don't know that
that. It would be fun if the Formula one came, it would be
yeah. I like, well, they had the whole Tony Hamilton Lewis Hamilton's
Tony Stewart Lewis Hamilton thing a bunch of years ago where they came and they
swapped cars. Yeah remember that, Yes, I do remember. But that
was really cool. But it was raining. Yeah. See, that's the
tough part. And I like going down when you have outside of NASCAR,
when the Ferrari races or yeah, that's coming up one in September. Yeah,
it's usually like September twenty. Yeah, all right, well we will
wrap it up for tonight. Kevin. Nice to see again. It's gonna
watch you too. I'm so glad that the uh I love that idea.
Again. If you want to go down there, you gotta sign up for
the race school, right, gotta sign up. You find a school to
sign up for, Okay, and then we have cars available that you can
just use for the days. Go carts are really cool, yes, but
they're not available. They had actually a really cool go cart track that was
right next to the Glen, but they spent a lot of money and went
out of business. That was was it really used to run out during the
used to run it out during the NASCAR week. To the drivers, they
would soap the track and oh, all sorts of ship to the track,
No kidding, be out there just banging go carts around. I didn't had
no idea. That's awesome. Well, yeah, there was a story like
about that where like, okay, so do you know a guy named Randy
Gordman from WHM and he was the news He was the news guy before Todd
Holiday and so he's a big NASCAR fan. So he got to race against
Tony Stewart on that track. He said, Tony Stewart random off the track,
everybody. I'll tell you what, if you want to come down for
a really good weekend, if you come down and do like a a fun
couple of days, there is Dundee Speedway Outlaw Speedway, which is fifteen minutes
up the road, fifteen minutes north, and then there's actually like a really
cool rodeo that's about fifteen minutes south. So like you can get the full
of wow, what what weekend? Says that NASCAR weekend? It happens all
the time. Talk to us all the time. Talk to your people.
There's a table in there, we can put the microphones in there. But
yeah, the rodeo, Yeah, good food, amazing, Wow, people
watching. Oh they got like they got kids that ride sheep. Oh I've
seen that they have seen. Send them out. Yeah. And then like
they do their thing and like stuff like that. But like and then especially
after a night of Dundee. Yeah, like dun Dundee is like Tony Stewart
comes to Dundee. I have not ever been to Dundee. Oh it is
amazing dirt track racing at its finest. Yeah, I've only been to Cannon
Daego for the dirt track. Oh God, you gotta come to Dundee.
Okay, Dundee is awesome. You'll be carvered in so much, Yes,
you are. You're always dirty when so much like there's like a layer on
our cars. Yeah, let's get the camper and go on. We'll talk
