A podcast from the Mac of All
Trade Studio in Fairport and driven by

3
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:31,359
Victor Chrysler Dots jeep Ram. It's
Billified, the Bill Moran Podcast. You

4
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,920
Well, hello and welcome. Thanks
for getting your pawn on, Thanks for

5
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,359
telling a friend. That's how we've
spread the word about the pirate ship.

6
00:00:40,359 --> 00:00:44,399
So many things to talk about.
I have a lot of thoughts, shot,

7
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:49,479
a lot of things to talk about
today. But Kevin van Vaulkenberg is

8
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,039
here from the Little Speech shop.
Man. It's been a while. It's

9
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:57,640
been a while. Yeah, how
you been, dude, crazy, It's

10
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:02,479
been like crazy summer again. Were
renting cars down at the Walkings gun people.

11
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:04,159
Yeah, we got rental cars and
we could talk about that. That's

12
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:10,519
pretty amazing. Yeah, I'm like
really excited about that. Like we have

13
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:14,680
three rental cars now, tour exactly
the same in another one's a race car,

14
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,400
and we rent them out and people
are loving it. They went over

15
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,799
really well. And people show up
cars broke, they don't know what to

16
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:30,719
do and they're like, hey,
I need to get on track this weekend.

17
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:34,120
I'm like cool. We got a
car. Like, so we got

18
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,239
one. We're ready to go,
Yes, sir, Oh that's pretty good.

19
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,879
That's great. The uh. I
was just we've been having a lot

20
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,799
of discussions lately about electric cars,
and I was I was just reading an

21
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:49,200
article that came out about nineteen minutes
ago in the La Times. And in

22
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:55,439
the La Times, I think they're
saying that one out of every five cars

23
00:01:55,519 --> 00:02:00,799
now is electric in California. In
California, so they say one out of

24
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:06,799
every five cars sold, let me
rephrase that every five cars sold in California

25
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:12,280
is now powered by battery. And
you know Governor Newsom who was just over

26
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:15,479
in China and I think was playing
basketball and not the kid to the ground.

27
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:23,639
Oh he he's saying again, you
know, the twenty thirty five date

28
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:27,599
for us, And I just I
don't know why. I don't know why

29
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,439
it's been in my head so much
lately about these electric cars. But then

30
00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:37,400
I saw this thing where Norway,
much smaller country, really pushed gave a

31
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:43,479
lot of government incentives. And then
what they found was two things. One,

32
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,080
you know, they are saying,
just to give you a statistic,

33
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:53,080
they're saying that motor vehicles generate nearly
a tenth of the global carbon dioxide CO

34
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:58,080
two. So there they went as
much electric as possible, and now they

35
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,879
were finding in they were most of
the people that were getting the electric cars

36
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:07,159
and taking advantage of the incentives were
richer people. Poor people never even really

37
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:12,080
had any access to it, so
you got a bigger gap disparity. This

38
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,719
is according to people in Norway.
And they found that more people were buying

39
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:19,840
cars, so it was clogging the
city streets because of the incentives to buy

40
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:23,599
the cars, not using public transportation, and not doing what would really what

41
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,800
they really wanted in the cities in
Norway was more bike paths, more walking

42
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:30,840
paths, more stuff, the stuff
that would really cut down on CO two.

43
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,280
And they're finding like all these problems, and I think it's interesting because

44
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,080
they're sort of the first ones to
go and I'm so torn, like they're

45
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:45,080
cool to drive, So I just
don't know the efficiency or the effect of

46
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:51,439
I think I sent you a couple
you did messages recently about like the disastrous

47
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:58,639
could possibly cause on the environment with
not the inability to recycle the batteries.

48
00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:05,479
Yeah, and also taking all these
minerals out of the earth, right produces

49
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:11,199
way more mass to get it right, to get just to get the minerals

50
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:13,759
to make the matter. I mean
that's what we're doing. Yeah, and

51
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,279
then you already have where you've had
brown outs in California because of electric problems,

52
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,199
and so now you've got one out
of every five soul. It's like

53
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,519
they cannot support it right now.
What I heard recently is that Walmart has

54
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,279
gotten ahead of all this too,
and they're actually they have a team that's

55
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:34,639
putting charging stations all like they do
with campers, very embracive of that.

56
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Yeah, they're gonna have destinations for
Walmart to be able to charge your car.

57
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,360
Give me the smartest, probably smartest
that they've done, is because where

58
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,399
am I going to go while charging
my car for thirty minutes. I'm gonna

59
00:04:45,399 --> 00:04:49,519
walk into Walmart and I'm gonna spend
money I don't have credit and drive myself

60
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:55,759
deeper in debt. It's just an
interesting thing because I feel like the the

61
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:01,199
original idea was one of betterment,
right, like to make things better,

62
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,279
make the earth better. The initiative
behind it was pure, and now I

63
00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:11,319
go, it's like everything else,
it gets mucked up by everybody else.

64
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:14,959
You know, let people choose what
they want and let's not I think there

65
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:21,120
should definitely be a progressive incentive to
get an electric car to drive around for

66
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:26,199
like a daily driven, daily driven
car, But doesn't mean that, like

67
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,920
what are you going to do with
I gotta drive to Florida, right,

68
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,120
you know it's going to take you
three or four days. You got to

69
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,160
stop all the time, like you
gotta find charging stations, and like,

70
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:41,519
no, Tesla network is like way
better than any other network. It is

71
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,720
that's out there and it's like so
easy, like because I had one for

72
00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:48,279
a short time and I thought it
was great, like just for bopping around

73
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:51,079
town and stuff like that. But
also at the same time, I was

74
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,800
like, we are not in a
good place if I have to like take

75
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,720
a trip to Florida or to a
hockey turn in an extra hour and a

76
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:02,920
half to get the Philly because they
had to stop. They gotta stop and

77
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:06,680
charge. Yeah, when you say
it out loud, it starts to like,

78
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,319
oh, this really doesn't make sense. Well, it doesn't make sense

79
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,160
in that Like again, if you
were primarily primarily around the Rochester area,

80
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:17,639
you're fine. Most of our commute
is twenty forty minutes. But that's the

81
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:21,120
idea though. They want they want
you to eventually get to fifteen minute cities.

82
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:25,319
In other words, anything you need
to get is within fifteen Well are

83
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,160
you gonna do in l A thank
you? Right? Well that's the point.

84
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,759
That's the point. Though they're gonna
convalidate an hour right minimum. Right,

85
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,720
I'm gonna drive right now. They
want to consolidate it. Yeah,

86
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:38,360
it's it's it's a joke. Say
it out loud. It's ridiculous, I

87
00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:41,480
know. And it's not it is
it time with a car? No?

88
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:46,319
Or is it is it it's driving? No, I'm just saying congestion and

89
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,439
then also time with the car.
And then what are you gonna do just

90
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,240
the bat the battery is just running
because you're even sitting in traffic, it's

91
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:57,000
still taking your time. And then
you get this thing called range anxiety because

92
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,279
you're like, oh yeah, got
to do with your like a five percent

93
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,800
I gotta tracke my full set of
road rage. I'm gonna get range.

94
00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:12,639
I'm gonna get range rage. You're
gonna get range rage and road rage at

95
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:15,519
the same time. Everybody's gonna die. Oh man, this is this is

96
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,839
phenomenal and you got to replace clear
streets though, Yeah, well it was

97
00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:23,879
clear streets. Yeah, that's what's
gonna happen. No one's gonna get to

98
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,720
work. Everybody's gonna be working from
home. It doesn't matter, doesn't matter.

99
00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:30,839
Get a bicycle you're better off or
cycle. Yeah. The unicycle was

100
00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:33,879
great set mine. I was supposed
to ride it, but I haven't in

101
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,759
a while. They didn't adjust it
and die I tried. You want to

102
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:40,560
try it, pompy. So all
we have to do is lower the tire

103
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,319
pressure a little bit. That's how
you learn. And it's great for core

104
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:46,399
balance. It was a big Yeah. Boxing stuff was great. When you

105
00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:48,160
did core balance, you could do
it. I can't do it. I

106
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,240
haven't done it in a long time. So I and this seat needs to

107
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,800
be But I brought it in because
Danny didn't believe I actually had one,

108
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:57,959
so I had to prove that.
Like one of these things. It's like

109
00:07:57,959 --> 00:08:01,279
the other night. Uh, they
went to a party and Kevin said to

110
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,959
Danny, bitch, can't run to
the top of that hill. These are

111
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,399
grown men. Yeah. Danny goes, okay, same thing. It's like

112
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:11,920
a challenge steps and he's like,
you know what, even try if he

113
00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:15,920
did three steps up you have to
have a cigarette break. You didn't challenge

114
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:18,680
me. I would have done it, you would. I would have done

115
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,680
it with you. I just want
to stay up there for the rest of

116
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,240
the nights. I wouldn't come back
down. One of the things that I

117
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,079
think is impacts people way more.
And you're seeing it now. We've had

118
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,440
colder mornings. We had snow today, snow big. I walk into Wegmans

119
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:37,399
and it's it's an old guy,
mister uh observant. As I walk in

120
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,480
there, he goes, oh,
some big flakes, huh, because they're

121
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:43,159
all over my head and down on
my jacket. And I go, yeah,

122
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,720
big flakes. But as that air
pressure, you know, temperature changes,

123
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,960
your tire pressure changes, it does, right. Yeah. So these

124
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,559
newer cars are great because if you
go to put air in your tire,

125
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,639
you may get the warning that it's
low. You don't have it. There's

126
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:01,399
a lot of times at the gas
station they don't have a gauge on that

127
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:07,039
thing. But what will happen is
the newer cars, your horn will beep

128
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,840
when you hit Sometimes it'll scare the
shit out of you if you're not prepared

129
00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:13,720
for it. But it'll hit when
you hit the right thing, and then

130
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,000
you'll know you're at the right tire
pressure. But I think underinflated tires.

131
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,399
And I've been saying this since I
bought tires as a kid, that they

132
00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:24,080
at the salvage yard. It would
go and just find all the same size.

133
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,639
They didn't have to match and turns
anything. Planes. They were fucking

134
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:35,759
fifty dollars a tire at the time. But I learned that tire pressure was

135
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:39,519
so important. I remember guy going, it doesn't matter as much as long

136
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:41,799
as the tire pressure is the same. You're going to be riding a little

137
00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:45,080
rougher, but you're okay. But
the tire pressure, I mean, I

138
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,120
know somebody who said, yeah,
they got their second flat tire, and

139
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,279
I go, probably because it's under
pressure ized you're riding on the walls and

140
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,960
there you go. Well that's what
happens. Actually, I had to go

141
00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:01,039
over to uh my mother in law's
houses morning because I was like, oh,

142
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,759
I checked my tire pressures and they
are low. My car said they

143
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:07,279
were low, and I was like, you know what what happened was,

144
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:11,600
well, here's the deal. Have
a very very easy thing to figure out,

145
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:18,200
Like every ten degrees is one psi
change. Right, So if if

146
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,919
you filled your tires up, last
time you filled your tires up, it

147
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:26,320
was sixty five seventy degrees, and
now it's like thirty or twenty, you're

148
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,320
gonna lose No. Five six seven
psi and then all of a sudden your

149
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,919
tire pressure light's going to come on
and stuff like that. So like it's

150
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,120
you gotta like. But sometimes as
you're driving and the day warms up and

151
00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:41,600
the friction of the road, your
tire pressure will increase as well, but

152
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,440
it may maybe not as much as
the degrees have dropped. So what are

153
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,120
you saying? It's one for every
ten degrees, one psi for every ten

154
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,120
degrees, Okay, one psi for
every ten degrees. Now these other things.

155
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,840
What I've always done is I figured
when if you do like one Mississippi's

156
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,480
when you're filling your tires, I
always go, I think, can get

157
00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:05,039
three p s i for ten Mississippi. I don't know anything I'm about.

158
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,440
I'm about that in my rough just
watched the machine that tells you no,

159
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,840
the machine doesn't or well, the
machine the machines at an angle you're next

160
00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:16,240
to it, and the face of
it's up here, you can't. Oh

161
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,919
it is in this gas station,
you can. And so any time I

162
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,159
go there, it's right around the
corner. If I'm doing it, that

163
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,240
I always have to go. I'll
do a ten Mississippi and it usually is

164
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:31,960
about three. It's the roughly three
for me. Actually that kind of makes

165
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,399
sense. Yeah, yeah, depending
on the air compressor to just throw in

166
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:48,120
like three or four mississippish ad give
Mississippi is not hail Mary's no not You'll

167
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:54,320
be there all mic. Somebody sent
me a h Facebook message that you had

168
00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:58,399
what I think is the best off
the assembly line race car there is.

169
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,080
And it's a street car. What
is it? But you had it in

170
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:07,159
your shop and you must have known
that the color may not have been desirable

171
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,879
to a lot of people because you
put in there that it's a decal that

172
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:13,039
it could come off. Oh are
you talking about the R Yes? Yeah,

173
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,720
look at that. So hop quick, hop quick. So we got

174
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,200
this Audi ra I love traded in
so that this he's actually a younger kid.

175
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:26,919
He's done really well for himself.
He is a V eight automatic Audi

176
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,240
R eight to two thousand and eight
with like seventy thousand miles. The cars

177
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,679
are bullet profuse drive all the time. So we've done all the work on

178
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,120
the car for like several years in
the car, and then he wrapped it

179
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:45,159
like about a month ago in purple. Hey in purple and a purple speckley

180
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,320
wrapped yeah, And I was like, I wasn't sure. I like that.

181
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:52,039
Called called and said, hey,
I'm going to trade this in on

182
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,000
a BMW wagon that you have and
I was like, okay, BMW wagon

183
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,960
for an Audi R eight. He's
got an idea. He's like, why

184
00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:01,639
to do his thing with the wagon
like lower and get some wheels on it

185
00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:03,919
and like do a thing. I
was like, cool, Like I love

186
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:09,960
wagons. But he he literally just
wrapped the car and I was like,

187
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,120
oh my god, we cannot present
this car with a wrap on it.

188
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,399
We went back and forth about it, and somebody made buy it like that

189
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:24,759
though. Somebody actually, so we
call the customer that's it totally wanted that

190
00:13:24,799 --> 00:13:28,120
particular car and he goes, oh, leave the rap on it. So

191
00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:31,399
we've been waiting like two weeks right
now for this kid to come through.

192
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,120
And he's like in a transition from
a job and this and that, and

193
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,080
we're like, if you don't come
through, I'm pulling the wrap off,

194
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,559
like you gotta let me know because
I can't stand this. Like it's it's

195
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,120
silver underneath. Yeah, it's gorgeous. It's gorgeous silver with a black panel.

196
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,840
It's like, yeah, I love
that. I don't like the purple

197
00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:52,279
butt. Like it presents really well
with the photography. You know what.

198
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,919
It looks like. It looks like
it could be in that Barbie movie,

199
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,600
the car like the colors. That's
the first thing I thought out that I

200
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:01,559
didn't even see the Barbie movie,
but I'm telling you that would fit.

201
00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:05,720
That's a great car. It's like
really good, yeah, really awesome wheel

202
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:07,679
drive. It's an eight. Oh
it's an eight all wheel drive. Ah

203
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:13,039
wait all wheel drive outie, Oh
god, you just drive. You can

204
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,759
put snow tires on, like it's
crazy. It's like they just don't break

205
00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:18,600
it, just change the load to
the ground. See. The problem is

206
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:24,519
around here is like the cars loaded
the ground sometimes our roads they're they're awesome,

207
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:28,159
just blast through stuff just like yeah, but it's the it's the potholes

208
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,720
and ship I want you know.
That's im back at the little speech shop

209
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,480
and I'm getting all the undercaracter.
None, and that's fine, blown out

210
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:41,360
tires, but yeah, that car
is that car is awesome. I just

211
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,200
can't. I'm like, I'm like, if this kid doesn't come through the

212
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,039
next week or two, I'm pulling
the wrap off, Like so we'll see

213
00:14:48,039 --> 00:14:50,759
what happened. What else is happening
over a little speech shop in terms of

214
00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:54,320
because now you can you are a
dealer as well, like you're selling selling

215
00:14:54,360 --> 00:15:01,360
cars. Yeah, the race season
just ended. It's it's all imports that

216
00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:05,320
you're doing. Yeah, just just
mainly European cars. Yeah, European imports.

217
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,720
Right. Yeah. But like if
somebody comes up and they're like,

218
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,240
hey, youre a friend, and
like you have a Chevy pickup truck,

219
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,679
I'm like, yeah, I'll work
on the car, like yes, yes,

220
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,120
in terms of working on it,
guess. But I mean if I

221
00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:20,519
were buying or selling, it's primarily
most of the stuff that I buy is

222
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:26,120
like for the dealership. Part of
the shop is things that like I like

223
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:33,919
so like BW purple purple rads.
Yeah, like I didn't actually that was

224
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,919
like that. I'm still try a
man that would hug the tracks. So

225
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,919
fun great cars and this car that
we have has an aftermarket suspension on it

226
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,399
and an aftermarket exhaust, so it
sounds great. Wow, Yeah, it's

227
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:50,679
really throat. That's the problem with
the electric cars. You gotta like it's

228
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:56,120
artificial speaker in front. Did you
see some of the cars that come out,

229
00:15:56,159 --> 00:15:58,639
they're like they put speakers. Yeah, they do to make it all

230
00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:03,480
that well, you know, I
watched that. I watched an episode of

231
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:10,639
Robert Downey Junior's show on HBO Max
where he takes some of his vintage cars

232
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:15,000
that he has and he brought him
to a shop in Vermont that converted it

233
00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:19,200
to electric. But he wanted this
truck to stay just as strong in terms

234
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,240
of towing capacity and everything. And
then he did something with the Army where

235
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,440
pulled a tank. The truck was
still able to pull the trank as maybe

236
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,559
so much power. Yeah, there's
a ton of post so it was sort

237
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,159
of silly to say that. But
you don't have the sound, so he

238
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:41,679
wanted the sound. I'm still not
gotten over the fact that I had a

239
00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:47,519
Tesla for a little while. Like
some of my friends are still like what

240
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:49,000
are you doing, Like why did
you do that? Why'd you get rid

241
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,120
of the Tesla? No, like, why did you even do that,

242
00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:57,480
Like that's ridiculous of everybody else,
like shouldn't have had a Tesla terrible,

243
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,919
but like it's really funny because like
I'm glad I had it because it was

244
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,200
fast, it was fun. Yeah, the kids thought they were sitting in

245
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,519
they were like enveloped in an iPad. Yeah, like that's pretty wild.

246
00:17:08,759 --> 00:17:12,680
Yeah did you fit in it comfortably? How tall? You so comfortable and

247
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,200
the seats are comfortable and like fake
leather, but like there did feel like

248
00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:19,759
leather and you could just like turn
your car on from your phone, like

249
00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:23,359
I feel yeah, even fifteen minutes, it's going to turn it on,

250
00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:26,599
warm it up, you know,
like it'll be all warm into frosted by

251
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,240
the time they get out there.
And I'm like, great, what see.

252
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,839
At the same time, I'm like, where am I going to go?

253
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,480
Not far? Not far. I
just saw one of those Rivion trucks.

254
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,880
I'd never I never ever heard of
it cars and Coffee. Recently was

255
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,599
one of the brand new Hummer electric
trucks. Really yeah, how does that

256
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:52,480
sound? It sounds I mean like
this right now? Yeah, kar nothing

257
00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:56,680
because nothing because it's electric, Like
no, well he saw the party.

258
00:17:57,319 --> 00:18:02,559
The Hummer Electric yeah. Hum electric
truck. Yeah, it's like just electric

259
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,920
and it's like quiet, it doesn't
make any noise, there's nothing there,

260
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,039
and like it does. It's like
a whole weird thing where like it can

261
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:15,359
like crawl at like different angles and
wow, it's military. Yeah, the

262
00:18:15,519 --> 00:18:18,759
US military wise too, are they
getting it because of the silence of it

263
00:18:18,839 --> 00:18:22,880
to be they're trying to without knowing
they're trying to do some of that in

264
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,599
the military, Like yeah, but
they're bringing out a giant you'd run out

265
00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:30,279
in the middle of the desert Campbell
forty miles and then just die and then

266
00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:36,799
you're just like, well, you
got a bunch of dead trucks and guys,

267
00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:38,359
I'm not sure it would really.
Uh, I think you're done.

268
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:44,359
You know that you're you got quite
the reputation I'm in. Maybe it was

269
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,640
Auto Zone, AutoZone and Penfield.
Oh yeah, and I was just looking

270
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,799
for something. The friend of mine
got a new car, so it's just

271
00:18:51,799 --> 00:18:55,400
getting little things for the new car. And guy, I can hear the

272
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,640
guy going, yeah, man,
Kevin over a little speech shop, blah

273
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,160
blah blah. I was like,
what shut up? Really? Yeah,

274
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,519
they were talking about whatever car you
had. Yeah, one of those Cherry

275
00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:11,359
air freshers and sells the best fuzzy
dice aero dynamic. They turned themselves on.

276
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,759
We have the pit operator from your
phone Electric Custom air Fresheners at the

277
00:19:15,759 --> 00:19:18,480
whole speech up. It's a good
idea. Actually, maybe you should do

278
00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:21,039
that. We'll take a moment.
There's lots of things to get to.

279
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,759
But Laura, Laura right, okay, has come in and she's an organizer

280
00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:29,880
from what I understand. I don't
know. We'll we'll find out about that

281
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:33,839
and then maybe later. And I
don't mean any offense by this, but

282
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,960
there's been uh something horrible that's been
getting a lot of attention over the past

283
00:19:38,039 --> 00:19:42,640
couple of days at Cornell University,
which now has a direct tie to Pittsford.

284
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,799
So we will give you the racist
incident and you have to tell us

285
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:51,519
what suburb in the Greater Rochester area
that it had. Game. It's a

286
00:19:51,559 --> 00:19:57,559
game, but we'll walk you through
why Pittsford has had all these problems.

287
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:04,200
And so I even called my son
because the person at Cornell graduated the same

288
00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:07,799
year he did. Now, my
son was in freshman year Pittsford Mendon,

289
00:20:07,839 --> 00:20:11,720
but then he went to McQuaid and
this kid went all the way through.

290
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,160
He says he didn't know him,
but then all of a sudden, I'm

291
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,079
getting text about oh eight, Yeah, and then he knew a bunch of

292
00:20:17,079 --> 00:20:21,079
people who did know this kid.
Yeah. It's I don't know. It's

293
00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:23,799
a very strange situation. So all
that to come. But first, Cobblestone

294
00:20:23,839 --> 00:20:26,920
on Maine, in the village of
Webster. It's Dan Bresnahan and his family.

295
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:33,119
They've taken this eighteen hundreds Cobblestone church
and thoughtfully renovated it into an upscale

296
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,119
bar where you can get Kraft cocktails, craft beers, and then there's intimate

297
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,839
dining. There's even a partying room
downstairs. You can rent out holds up

298
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,839
to forty five people. And the
cool thing is it has its own entrance,

299
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,319
so you're not banging around as you
carry stuff in through the restaurant area.

300
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,319
Now, I can tell you I've
had nothing but great experiences there.

301
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,480
The food is absolutely delicious, it's
locally sourced. But how about this.

00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,960
Wow, we enjoyed a wonderful lunch
there. We'll be going back there again

Trio sandwich was Heavenly. My wife's clam

304
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,039

happened, Just happened. Will you

329
00:22:55,359 --> 00:23:02,839
call untea on me? Let me
technical if I throw a chair and have

330
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:12,720
them chairs in heaven. Yeah,
legendary coach Bobby Knight has passed away west

331
00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:15,960
Point. Really that's how Skiszewsky got
to start. Yeah, at west Point,

332
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,319
he just came under him and then
coached with him. Having just gained

333
00:23:19,319 --> 00:23:25,799
another bullet, and Bobby Knight used
to I mean, man, you talk

334
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:30,240
about stuff you could never ever ever
do today. He was didn't he throw

335
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,759
stuff a guy chair? He kicked
me? He choked stuff. Yeah,

336
00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:38,240
he choked the guy. He kicked
his own son Patrick when the twenty point

337
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:41,079
lead in like ninety two or ninety
three. And then afterwards I knew he

338
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:44,160
was aiming for the chair. Okay, I know my dad was aiming for

339
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,000
the chair. And then what what
what his ticket out of Indiana was choking

340
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:52,119
Neil Reid. Yeah, but by
the way passed away like a few years

341
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,839
ago. Yeah, but Neil,
but it was many years. I thought

342
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:59,119
after Neil was done playing that that
came out. No, I thought Bobby

343
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,079
was still there for a little wile
after that. I thought it came out

344
00:24:02,079 --> 00:24:03,680
after I don't Oh no, no, no, you're right. The Neil

345
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,599
read happened? Then that happened,
wasn't her? Next Sports Illustrated, a

346
00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:11,640
student came up to it said what
up Night? Yeah, and he said,

347
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,000
you called me coach or you call
me sir. And that led to

348
00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:17,880
an explosion and he was on a
zero tolerance policy. And that's when Miles

349
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,000
Brand kicked it. Anywhere to where
the Red Raiders of Texas Tech Texas,

350
00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:26,000
and he brought him. How about
this story? He brings them to the

351
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,640
to the Sweet sixteen, and he
credits his wife with coming up with a

352
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,160
game plan to get him there.
His wife, his new wife, goes,

353
00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:37,000
she's the one who Yeah, you
got to give the new wife credit.

354
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:38,400
The new wife. Yeah, of
course the old wife gets none of

355
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,519
the showing up with all the ship
for years. She's the one who had

356
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:45,519
the children. He's getting interviewed by
CBS. You or nobody. Yeah,

357
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,880
he's gonna get read by interviewed by
CBS. He's got his arm round.

358
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,119
She came up with the game plan, and I gotta give her all the

359
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,640
credit. One'm like, Bob Knight's
giving credit to a woman. Yeah,

360
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,839
but did you imagine if it was
free Well trying to choke out Bobby Knight.

361
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,119
That was the rumor that like they're
gonna bring Bob Knight to Indiana to

362
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:10,359
keep it quote cold of the trolls, free will. Uh, Laura is

363
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,200
your last name? Mckennny, It
is okay? So Laura we met at

364
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,480
Greg's and then from there she went
to Stephanie's party, which I did not

365
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,119
go to and then from there she
ended. I was like, last night

366
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:29,200
I get a picture from Kevin van
Valkenberg of he and Laura together at some

367
00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:33,240
kids Halloween gathering or something at her
house. Yeah, between was that your

368
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,480
house? It was at our house
and your sister in last house because we

369
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,240
like the house is a very next
door to Okay, all right, so

370
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,160
Kevin and I live in the same
neighborhood. So I brought my kids down

371
00:25:44,319 --> 00:25:48,400
up and I was drinking the apple
cider and vacca alongside them. Apple cider

372
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,960
and vodka. Haven't done that?
Tried that next year? Yeah, I

373
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,960
bet it is. So you're a
professional organizer, I am. Okay,

374
00:25:56,079 --> 00:26:03,400
So I'm thinking that the is there
a lot of here's how do I phrase

375
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,079
this? How do you advertise your
services? How do you let people know

376
00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:11,240
what you do? Because I would
think that there's many people in need of

377
00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:18,000
a professional organizer, but don't know
that maybe there are professional organizers and how

378
00:26:18,039 --> 00:26:22,079
it all works. I think that
everyone needs a professional organizer in their home.

379
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,359
I mean, most people nowadays have
cleaners in their houses, but you

380
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:32,240
still make it messy, and you
still are disorganized, and the kids are

381
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,880
still throwing your shit everywhere, So
I don't really advertise. I have been

382
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,279
word of mouth since the beginning,
the best way. Yeah, and honestly,

383
00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:45,319
I really and that's how I always
say when we begin the podcast,

384
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,200
you came late, so you miss, I'm totally kidding. I had a

385
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:56,720
nonprofit meeting rooms. Nothing nothing,
I'm just kidding. But the I always

386
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,559
say, you know, spread the
word, spread the word about the pirate

387
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:02,920
ship. You know, the same
thing, because that you're never going to

388
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,400
get a better thing than a true
endorsement from somebody who said, hey man,

389
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,799
she came into my house and it
has never been better. My closets

390
00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:12,839
are organized. I actually can find
things I got rid of stuff. I

391
00:27:12,839 --> 00:27:15,680
mean, how long does it usually
take? Because I have many, many

392
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:19,839
questions? Okay, shoot them all. It depends on the job. Like

393
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,839
Kevin asked me today, He's like, what are you doing today? I

394
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:30,079
was assembling a Kia furniture for a
lovely lesbian couple that don't know how to

395
00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:33,559
assemble a Kia furniture. Now,
the operative word in that sentence is lesbian,

396
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,640
because I would think there was somebody
in that relationship would know how to

397
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,920
do that. Very very judgmental,
but I'm just saying, but oh,

398
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:47,319
for two last night, I said, I don't know if you because there

399
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:52,640
was a local doctor who unfortunately passed
away in a plane accident. But it

400
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,400
was a homemade plane. It was
a homemade kiss. And I said,

401
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,720
if you can't put together ikea furniture
without putting a nick or a dent or

402
00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:06,920
a ding in it, or not
screwing up in some way or that that

403
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,839
is, you cannot, then go
build a plane. If you can't do

404
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:15,759
ike you can't. Is the entry
into the plane ikea is pretty damn ridiculous.

405
00:28:15,079 --> 00:28:18,839
They're instructions, but I can figure
it out. I'm very handy.

406
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:30,319
But no, they're just they're stick
figures and there's not steps. You go

407
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,880
there and didn't get Swedish Meatballso the
lights that you liked at my graduate I

408
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,880
can't. Yeah, Iki, So
now when you've gone into somebody's house,

409
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,720
what is the most valuable thing that
you discovered, Because sometimes people have things

410
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,480
that they don't know are valuable.
There's a guy who has gained some real

411
00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:52,000
notoriety over the years as more of
a motivational speaker and a real Hustler's name

412
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,720
is Gary Vee, and one of
the things he likes to do is go

413
00:28:55,759 --> 00:28:59,839
to garage sales and he will find
something that he knows the value of.

414
00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:06,240
I think I watched him on YouTube
negotiate buying a bunch of Olympic pins from

415
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,640
Olympic you know, like just different
Olympics, and he instantly sold it on

416
00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:15,960
eBay for probably five times what he
paid for it. Now have you discovered

417
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,519
anything like that in someone's home,
Because a lot of times I would think

418
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,079
you're helping somebody get ready to sell
or stage a home. I'd work with

419
00:29:22,279 --> 00:29:27,200
a lot of downsizing projects. I
actually have three moves that I'm doing right

420
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:33,200
now. But I have found thousands
upout thousands of dollars of cash cash,

421
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:38,680
yes, and that people forget about. Oh yeah, Like I mean I

422
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:44,640
feel lucky in a winter coat pocket
when I put it back on. Thousands.

423
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:51,519
So I had all these people.
Yeah, I took a percentage.

424
00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:59,799
No. They were a family that
had immigrated and you know, going through

425
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,240
the depression era, they saved everything
and they squirreled things away and I found

426
00:30:04,279 --> 00:30:11,839
passports of theirs. I found jewelry
like true diamonds, gold, but ended

427
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:18,160
up between their home, their storage
unit, and their daughter's home finding thousands

428
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,000
of dollars that they had hid in
their way, thousands of dollars. Yeah,

429
00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:26,200
is there Have you ever walked into
someone's house and thought there is no

430
00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:29,559
way I can help them? Yeah? I mean, and I don't mean

431
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,559
to be funny, but I think
over the years, you know, it's

432
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:37,880
until you actually move, you don't
realize how much shit you've accumulated. Oh,

433
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:38,920
you stay in a house. I'd
lived in a house for twelve years

434
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,319
trying to get out of there was
a nightmare when you were going through and

435
00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:45,720
it's it's all the stuff. And
now we're coming up on a time of

436
00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:51,160
year where now there's going to be
more clothes with yeah, new clothes a

437
00:30:51,279 --> 00:30:55,200
Christmas time, right, and new
toys and knew this what would be a

438
00:30:55,279 --> 00:31:00,240
tip for somebody to try to declutter
a little bit? I mean, the

439
00:31:00,279 --> 00:31:04,319
things that you don't love in your
home, why keep them? Whether it's

440
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,960
I talk to a lot of women, kid, yeah, a lot of

441
00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:15,200
kids are I talk to a lot
of women because normally my main clientele is

442
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,640
that you know, forty to sixty
year old woman who's hiring me to help

443
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,279
them keep their home straight because they're
busy with life. They're back in the

444
00:31:23,319 --> 00:31:27,000
workforce, they're running their kids around, and a lot of the times there

445
00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:32,920
is one of the most stressful areas
for them, including their closet getting dressed,

446
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,640
because women hold onto things that don't
fit them, that they don't look

447
00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:41,440
nice in just because they do they
want's the biggest excuse you here for some

448
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,039
for for holding on to anything,
whether it be and I'm thinking most of

449
00:31:45,079 --> 00:31:49,599
it's probably clothing, but any kind
of item that I just can't People are

450
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,319
lazy, is it really? You
think? Yes, it's lazy, because

451
00:31:53,359 --> 00:31:56,720
then they're like, Okay, they
dump things in a pile to donate,

452
00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:00,000
and then they're not even willing to
take the donations anywhere, and they move

453
00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:02,920
them to the car and then they
move them back in. Or you know,

454
00:32:04,079 --> 00:32:07,839
kids, the amount of toys that
kids have is disgusting and parents are

455
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,599
like, but my kid wanted that. I'm like, when when's the last

456
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,279
time your kid has touched it?
Like you know, yeah, it should

457
00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:15,599
be like apps on your phone and
their phone will remind you, hey,

458
00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:27,279
you haven't use these twenty apps and
like, however, Laura, Laura,

459
00:32:27,319 --> 00:32:31,119
what's an easy first step then to
to let's say declutter. What would be

460
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:36,440
the first thing someone who's just listening
would do to to declutter, especially as

461
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,480
we enter new year? More toys, new stuff. Get rid of old

462
00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:45,400
items in the pantry, in the
kitchen, the expired items. If you're

463
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,079
working in a closet, get rid
of clothes that don't fit you, that

464
00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:52,920
don't fit the children. Just throw
them in a bag and donate them or

465
00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:57,559
call me because I will pick them
up and consciously donate them. But then

466
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:05,240
just getting people buy bins and then
they don't use them. So bind some

467
00:33:05,359 --> 00:33:07,440
items up, get them off the
floor, like make your house just not

468
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:12,240
look like a mess. But most
people it's just they don't have the time.

469
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,680
So time is money to fund a
can of my mom's pantry that was

470
00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:22,039
expired before she moved, so it
moved with her. That yeah, I

471
00:33:22,079 --> 00:33:28,440
think it was like ninety eight,
wow, fifteen, so it moved with

472
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,480
her. Okay, that's a new
one. The people get an emotional attachment

473
00:33:32,519 --> 00:33:36,400
though to these things, Oh they
do. Don't think there's like an emotional

474
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:43,720
attachment because there isn't one person over
I'll say we'll go with forty that maybe

475
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,079
they go, hey, one good
dump and I'm gonna back into a whole

476
00:33:47,119 --> 00:33:50,400
new wardrobe, you know what I
mean, like a hold on to all

477
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,279
the clothes that fit me, and
by dump I'm in, you know,

478
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,920
but you know what I'm saying.
So you hold on to that with the

479
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,799
hope that, hey, these are
gonna fit again. I just don't know

480
00:33:59,839 --> 00:34:02,000
whcause they're gonna. You don't want
to rebuy, well you don't, but

481
00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:07,240
you wind up rebuying because you'll buy
your jeans and the next size up you

482
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:12,280
look like a sausage as you squeeze
it in. That look as ten years

483
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,079
gone. Yes, So I talk
about purgatory piles a lot. So any

484
00:34:16,559 --> 00:34:22,360
clothing that is maybe just one size
too small, been net up and give

485
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,519
yourself six months six months, yes, Like if you can't lose ten pounds

486
00:34:27,519 --> 00:34:30,719
in six months, you're not going
to lose ten pounds in sixteen months or

487
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:36,000
in six years, like you know. So, But if it's a specific

488
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:42,159
like sentimental item that you're not gonna
wear again, cut it up, save

489
00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:45,840
a little piece of the cloth and
then get rid of the rest, like

490
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,440
a wedding dress or something. I
mean, screw wedding dresses. I'm divorced,

491
00:34:49,519 --> 00:34:53,639
so that old Jim Kelly three days
all right? All right? So

492
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:57,519
the Jim Kelly jersey that you had
as a kid, or maybe the jersey

493
00:34:57,559 --> 00:35:00,280
that you had that you played in. Do you have one of those?

494
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:07,840
Kevin? No, nothing, they
Kevin has his framed. What are you

495
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:12,440
going to do with that forty year
old jersey that's sitting down in your basement

496
00:35:12,599 --> 00:35:15,639
like it smells, it's disgusting unless
you're gonna put it in a shadow box

497
00:35:15,679 --> 00:35:19,679
and display it. Has anybody said
they're going to use it? Why are

498
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,119
you so mean when you do this
sort of thing? God, I have

499
00:35:22,199 --> 00:35:27,519
to think. So I'm listening to
you and I walk in blonde sweet like

500
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:34,239
you know, nice, But then
I am tough on people because they cannot

501
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,199
do it themselves. Well, the
thing is, it's the emotional it's it's

502
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,079
emotions, right, and anything that
when you don't have the emotional attachment to

503
00:35:40,159 --> 00:35:44,119
it, you can see you can
almost see the farce through the tree,

504
00:35:44,159 --> 00:35:46,760
so to speak, or the jeans
that fit through the clutter. But then

505
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:52,000
that's the other stuff. What is
the big biggest contributor to clutter? Do

506
00:35:52,039 --> 00:35:54,320
you think, like a lot of
times now the male that comes in say

507
00:35:54,320 --> 00:36:01,800
papers, people just stack papers in
every area and then they don't know how

508
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,480
to go through it or file it
or figure out what needs to be paid,

509
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,960
what needs to be shredded. So, honestly, what system do you

510
00:36:10,039 --> 00:36:13,400
use? Is there a system?
Tell me you get an acronym or something.

511
00:36:13,599 --> 00:36:16,400
Oh no, I don't have an
acronym. Realize different, Like so

512
00:36:16,599 --> 00:36:23,199
every single client is different. It's
yeah, yeah, you know what I

513
00:36:23,199 --> 00:36:29,639
mean, like, you know,
shred ship, shred, hoard something I

514
00:36:29,639 --> 00:36:39,679
don't know, and recurgitate, educate, yeah, something. But okay,

515
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,920
so what we were saying as I
interrupted, No, I'm just papers like

516
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,760
pile up for people. And then
god, I have two boys and I

517
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,760
love them, but the amount of
art that they bring home, that's just

518
00:36:52,000 --> 00:37:00,320
everything goes in the garbage. I'm
sorry, I don't I will. We

519
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,920
had art boxes for the boys.
Yeah, so they went in these boxes

520
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,960
and then when we moved, I
don't know, I don't know where they

521
00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:09,079
ended up. But it was kind
of cool to look through the stuff.

522
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,239
But how often are you looking through
the stuff? Okay, So every you

523
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,440
know, mid fifty to mid sixty
year old client that I have that has

524
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:22,199
me do their basement, it is
bins and bins of their children's old school

525
00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:27,119
items. We talked to their kids
and they're like, I don't want any

526
00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:30,960
of it, Like why are you
holding onto apps? Because there was sentimental

527
00:37:30,039 --> 00:37:34,440
value and it was a marker in
time. Kids are a great marker in

528
00:37:34,519 --> 00:37:36,679
time, and you can remember what
you were doing. But I'll tell you

529
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,199
what the greatest thing is is if
you took videos, put them on YouTube,

530
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,039
get them off your camera and stuff, because they're always there. I

531
00:37:43,079 --> 00:37:45,199
always say that YouTube, to me, is the closest thing we have to

532
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,559
time travel. The only way you
can travel is backwards. But there are

533
00:37:49,599 --> 00:37:52,840
things you forget. Like a Halloween
video popped up with me and my son

534
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,760
who's thirteen now he was six,
and it's him and I go into I

535
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,559
went on Facebook live. I guess
I don't even remember it, but it's

536
00:38:00,639 --> 00:38:02,760
him running up and this lady obviously
didn't get a lot of trick or traders

537
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,679
and she goes take two handfuls,
and she goes, let me use one

538
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,599
of my hands. Here's even more. And then he turns around to the

539
00:38:08,599 --> 00:38:13,000
camera and goes, this is the
best Halloween ever, you know, And

540
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:15,719
so that those things are really cool
to have. Have you seen a situation

541
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:20,239
like that show horders. Have you
come across one of those? Absolutely?

542
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,039
Do you twitch when you walk in
there? No, I'm excited, like

543
00:38:23,159 --> 00:38:31,719
I yaes ch chang. But it's
I really enjoy helping people into a lot

544
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:36,239
of people, it's a mental illness
like the hoarding, and those people are

545
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,199
usually the worst about it. You
got that paper from like nineteen seventy three

546
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:45,239
that has nothing to do with anything, and it's a lot of handholding and

547
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:51,119
coaching and you know, therapy sessions
and letting them cry about seeing like,

548
00:38:51,519 --> 00:38:55,440
if you want to change your life, you have to actively work right now.

549
00:38:55,639 --> 00:39:00,440
When did you realize that that you
had? I don't know. Is

550
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,360
it a skill? Yeah, I
would say so. I have an eye

551
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:07,800
for stuff, and I really have
a passion. I've always been in what's

552
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:13,400
that look for spatial awareness? Yeah? I do. I feel like it's

553
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,599
tetris. My eyes can figure out
tetris on how things are going to work

554
00:39:15,639 --> 00:39:21,000
really well. Did you study like
interior design or anything. I went to

555
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,599
school for communications. I wanted to
go into sports journalism and documentary work.

556
00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:30,440
Yeah. So I've been trying to
do that and you can't really break into

557
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,920
the Rochester area too easily, so
I can't know. I was on radio

558
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,519
here for thirty years. There's nothing
talking about Yeah, when you want to

559
00:39:37,519 --> 00:39:44,280
do investigative journalism, Oh really can
see? Is not? I started?

560
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,960
I started writing for the Webster Herald, and my first story was covering the

561
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:51,840
potholes in the road. Yeah,
potholes. It's terrible. I hate them.

562
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,440
I kept saying that if now that
marijuana is legal, I wanted to

563
00:39:54,480 --> 00:40:00,199
open a dispensary called Potholes. I
thought it'd be the perfect little name,

564
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,760
right. I thought. I thought
it would be cool to do a pothole

565
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,360
registry where you could like name your
own pothole, you know, donate money

566
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,679
this is pothole. Yes, they
did. They did the list, filled

567
00:40:12,039 --> 00:40:15,079
the potholes, and then they put
their logo over tom of it. Yeah.

568
00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:19,159
It was great. It was very
smart. So are you still writing

569
00:40:19,199 --> 00:40:23,159
for this paper? No? God, No, I did that County here.

570
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:28,239
No wrote for them too, Trust
me, I knew some people,

571
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,039
uh that were in there. You
did? What do you think about people?

572
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:39,119
Ah? Five Times Awayne County.
I love the Times Awayne County.

573
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:45,599
I got turned onto that paper around
nineteen ninety nine, two thousand and somebody

574
00:40:45,639 --> 00:40:50,679
called up and said, because I
was, I was wondering what was happening

575
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,840
in that part of the work world. That was when Walter Casper sent his

576
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:59,280
wife over a cliff he lived down
in three one five. He had said

577
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:00,920
the breaks in the van didn't work, but he had jumped out and she

578
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,519
went over, do you remember this? Yes? Yeah too, yeah,

579
00:41:05,559 --> 00:41:07,599
And then the guy got out of
prison and he was going to go run

580
00:41:07,639 --> 00:41:12,559
for I don't know, village board
or something on one of the finger legs,

581
00:41:12,599 --> 00:41:15,199
and then like his kids found out
and they don't talk to him.

582
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:21,400
But that happened. Then some guy
fell off his roof and impaled himself on

583
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,840
the ADT sign. Oh yeah,
and that happened in three one five.

584
00:41:25,199 --> 00:41:29,960
Yeah, killed himself by accident,
clearly right, fell off. And then

585
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:30,800
there was something else and somebody goes, hey, have you ever heard of

586
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,719
the Times Wayne County? And I
go no, So they mailed me a

587
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,880
copy and then they call and they
go, hey, did you get it?

588
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:38,920
And I said, yeah, go
to this page. And he opened

589
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:44,039
it up and there's two sheriffs and
the Wayne County Sheriffs was a big drug

590
00:41:44,079 --> 00:41:49,239
bust and they're standing in somebody's bedroom
and they're proud with whatever bag or whatever,

591
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:54,440
and right over their shoulder is a
giant dildo on the dresser in the

592
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:59,360
the And I always went old Draker's
got a sense of humor because that that

593
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,000
ship would not fly anywhere else,
but it was all there. Yeah,

594
00:42:02,079 --> 00:42:07,679
And then they had stories of somebody
getting busted because they had a tail light

595
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:12,039
out and they were driving and they
got pulled over for the tail light out

596
00:42:12,039 --> 00:42:15,400
and they were found to be wearing
nothing but a pair of green panties.

597
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,960
It was a man in green panties
and he had a bottle of Wess and

598
00:42:19,039 --> 00:42:22,000
oil next to him, and he
was on his way to Ontario Video and

599
00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:29,719
News. No and Ontario Video News. The one in Ontario anyway had buddy

600
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,800
booths. Oh yeah, I know
people who work there. My mom took

601
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:39,480
me there for the first time.
Wait for what the three, one,

602
00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:45,960
five tillion coming out? It was
my cousin's birthday and we went and we

603
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,679
bought them a blow up doll.
Okay, yeah, but I mean I

604
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,679
remember going in there once and seeing
all these people like waiting outside the booths

605
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:58,360
and the light would go on and
somebody going, what the fuck you get

606
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,880
out of here. It was in
the booth, some other guy watching I

607
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:07,760
don't yeah, watching videos like now
this was early two thousands. Now we

608
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,679
all got a smartphone. Nobody's coming
out of their house, you know what

609
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:15,280
I mean, just coming over.
Nobody's watching anything. So how do people

610
00:43:15,679 --> 00:43:20,599
hire you if they were looking?
Are you booked through already? Are you

611
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,639
taking on new clients? Yeah,
I normally book about three weeks out,

612
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:29,360
so November I'm fully filled. But
I am, like I said, word

613
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:34,559
of mouth. People will just text
me. I get referred to in those

614
00:43:34,599 --> 00:43:39,239
Facebook mom groups all the time.
Yeah, you know, people the Facebook

615
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:44,039
groups are great though. Yeah,
those groups are great reading. Oh,

616
00:43:44,079 --> 00:43:47,480
I mean a lot of time,
it's yes, but people, you know,

617
00:43:49,199 --> 00:43:52,159
sometimes even worse. I don't know, say that. Like I had

618
00:43:52,159 --> 00:43:53,760
a client the other day, say, well, it was a couple of

619
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:59,760
months ago. She had posted in
Pittsford Mom's group like she wanted, uh

620
00:44:00,199 --> 00:44:05,320
a mester closet overhaul, and she
wanted someone who could assemble like the shelving

621
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,800
for her too. And I have
fully insured, so I actually can do

622
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:14,119
all of those things. And you're
fully insured like a yeah, because I

623
00:44:14,199 --> 00:44:20,480
have for carpentry or for minimal like
I can't hang like too much weight bearing

624
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,360
stuff limits, but I do.
Yeah, I am because if I'm ever

625
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,679
in someone's house and I break any
of their items, or if I get

626
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,639
her, I have to have insured. Have you ever had have you ever

627
00:44:30,679 --> 00:44:35,519
broken somebody something where they got very
upset? No, yadro or no.

628
00:44:35,639 --> 00:44:38,400
But last year I carried a ten
thousand dollars base in a move. Really

629
00:44:38,559 --> 00:44:43,159
yeah, where was it from?
It was from something ten thousand dollars on

630
00:44:43,199 --> 00:44:45,280
a vage. I'm the same person
to buy a Tesla Billy. Yeah,

631
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:52,320
no, no, no, no, damn, you can stop it.

632
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,519
I could go anywhere in the test
like ten, I'm thinking twenty minutes.

633
00:44:55,559 --> 00:45:00,159
I think a ten thousand dollars Is
it from like the Ying dynasty or it

634
00:45:00,199 --> 00:45:05,760
was a very wealthy family that used
to own a business here and they sold

635
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,079
actually very similar i'm doing right now. They sold a six thousand or six

636
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:14,480
thousand square foot house, and though
MAM's downsizing, the kids have both moved

637
00:45:14,559 --> 00:45:16,960
out. Yeah, it's like a
three thousand square foot house, which is

638
00:45:17,039 --> 00:45:21,519
still I think the biggest house I
ever had was twenty eight. I'm tomorrow

639
00:45:21,679 --> 00:45:28,320
moving a I love this person,
this client, but he is turning forty,

640
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,440
just sold his business and I'm moving
him into a six thousand square foot

641
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:37,440
house tomorrow Pitsford. Well it backs
up to Oak Hill six thousand square foot

642
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,920
from what six thousand square foot house? I know, but like what was

643
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:45,239
he moving? Oh? He probably
is at No. Twenty eight hundred square

644
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,239
foot house and a wife and two
kids everything else. So we already figured

645
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,960
out the furnishings. I've already packed
up their old house. So the center

646
00:45:53,079 --> 00:45:59,000
candles are all gone. Those are
very toxic for you. Yeah, they're

647
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,559
horrible. It's know, like kerosene
all night. Yeah, I told my

648
00:46:02,039 --> 00:46:06,920
said no more. What do you
think about the essential oil stuff? That's

649
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,079
all right. I'm not that much
of a hippie, but for if people

650
00:46:09,159 --> 00:46:13,599
who to believe in it believe in
it, Like I like the sense.

651
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,960
I like going in the shower and
doing steam showers with the essential Ah.

652
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,920
Yeah, I do the cold shower
in the morning, then I do a

653
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,920
hot shower. So way I like
it. Cold plunge. Yeah, I

654
00:46:25,119 --> 00:46:29,280
haven't gotten there yet. It's great. We're gonna find the ice. That's

655
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,480
the only thing you got to find
the ice. I have a friend who

656
00:46:30,559 --> 00:46:35,960
has a cold punch tub in her
basement, or go to drip house do

657
00:46:36,079 --> 00:46:39,480
cryo therapy. So good for you. Drip house is pretty all right,

658
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:45,199
my tesla. Sure, I'll take
you over in a tesla. All right,

659
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:50,480
great, looking forward to it.
I kind of like stop any problem

660
00:46:50,519 --> 00:46:53,880
with them, like a little too
soon. Yes, I'm with you.

661
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,719
Well, this is where too much. That's why I've been bringing it up

662
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,960
every time you've come in. Is
I I've said that about that. But

663
00:47:00,039 --> 00:47:02,199
if you need it to work onze? Do you do garages as well?

664
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:06,360
I do garages all the time.
I was in a garage. This lat

665
00:47:06,599 --> 00:47:09,239
makeover is a big deal for guys. It is so much fun. I've

666
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:15,239
had a guys love a nice garage
makeover. Get the Florida cabinets, yeah,

667
00:47:15,599 --> 00:47:17,960
tools organized and the screen in the
summer and making a garageo. Yeah.

668
00:47:19,199 --> 00:47:22,400
I did a tool bench as a
father say surprise for someone one time,

669
00:47:22,519 --> 00:47:24,519
and it was really fun. Well, I was just thinking like what

670
00:47:24,639 --> 00:47:30,679
a great thing to let's say,
could somebody buy pay for your services and

671
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,519
give it as a Christmas gift?
Yeah? I have gift cards. Yeah.

672
00:47:32,639 --> 00:47:37,039
That happens quite a bit around Christmas
and Mother's Day. I get a

673
00:47:37,079 --> 00:47:40,639
lot of it. I'm thinking,
like for to Kevin to Van Balkerer's point

674
00:47:40,679 --> 00:47:45,400
there, because we got to Kevin's
I think it's a great idea with the

675
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,159
garage. Yeah, yeah, oh
I love doing garages. Garage season is

676
00:47:49,199 --> 00:47:53,119
normally October for me because people in
the summer just their garages become a mass.

677
00:47:53,159 --> 00:47:55,440
They dump their bikes there, they
dump everything, and then they're like,

678
00:47:55,519 --> 00:47:59,679
shit, it's gonna snow. It's
Rogester like I need to be able

679
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:04,519
to part Yeah, capt my congrage. Yep. There's stuff everywhere. Yeah,

680
00:48:04,679 --> 00:48:07,800
yeah, exactly. Mouse poop.
I mean I deal with mouse poop

681
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,599
all the time. Is there anything
that gross? Have you found anything that

682
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:15,119
really like skiwed you out when you're
doing real quick? Yeah? Back back

683
00:48:15,159 --> 00:48:19,599
to the what was the Hoarders episodes? Remember like the Holders episodes where they're

684
00:48:19,639 --> 00:48:28,519
like I lost my cat like five
years old, like pulling papers up like

685
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,280
like that. I have never found
a Okay, So then they took the

686
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:43,599
newspaper the stain of the cat and
framed it the hold on Sorry Kitty,

687
00:48:45,039 --> 00:48:50,840
many mice. And I actually told
Kevin the other day a dead mummified squirrel

688
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,960
in a garage. Mum, it
was yellow. It was just you could

689
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,719
hardly tell what it was, but
you know, it stunk so bad.

690
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:04,360
Yeah. The only job I've ever
turned down was a hoarder house where they

691
00:49:04,599 --> 00:49:07,880
brewed beer in the basement and it
was covered in mold. Yeah, and

692
00:49:08,039 --> 00:49:12,119
I was just like, I've worked
with mold. I'm you know, i

693
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,320
will do the gloves, the mask, everything, but I'm not going to

694
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:20,679
do a full basement full of mold. How did this begin for you?

695
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,920
I yeah, I've always just had
an eye and I've always been very organized.

696
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,440
I used to do event planning and
nonprofit work, and so you know

697
00:49:29,559 --> 00:49:36,519
that event planning aspect of like being
organized. I started to just help people

698
00:49:37,119 --> 00:49:42,719
in joy doing it, like my
friends if they were like can you help

699
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,239
me rearrange my basement? Like can
you help me do this? And then

700
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:51,239
I loved helping people move, which
is so rare, like you don't need

701
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,079
to give me the rear and the
pizza, Like, let me help set

702
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:58,000
you up in your new home or
help purge your items that you have.

703
00:49:58,519 --> 00:50:02,599
And then it just it took off. How would people find you? Yeah,

I don't know why. To me, I love that gree I was a

741
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,039
big Stones fan. Yeah, I
probably listened to their new million times,

742
00:53:25,079 --> 00:53:29,760
but they were very gritty black Crows
I love the same thing. Yeah.

743
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,159
Yeah, they weren't writing that smalty
stuff. They weren't putting on makeup.

744
00:53:32,199 --> 00:53:37,559
They were just a straightforward eighties rock
band, right, that is true,

745
00:53:37,559 --> 00:53:40,719
and they were actually talented. So
while we were off Mike, Laura said,

746
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:45,559
hey, uh, I was scheduled
to come to one of your boxing

747
00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:52,239
classes on a date, and kevil
F goes, what kind of date is

748
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,199
that? Right? I mean yeah
it was it was going to be a

749
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:59,880
third date, and what was the
first date? And she punched up,

750
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:12,719
like slowly, what did you say? Jella wrestling? We went to the

751
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,400
Windfield and then the second date was
the first date was at like a lunch,

752
00:54:16,519 --> 00:54:19,880
Tell me it's lunch at the Windfield. God no, it was like

753
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,840
a happy hour. Happy hour.
Okay, that place gets packed, like

754
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,960
you can't find parking. It's very
frustrating. And then yeah, second date

755
00:54:27,159 --> 00:54:30,519
was we went out for Saint Patrick's
say, and the third date was supposed

756
00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:32,480
to go we were going to go
boxing on Monday because I go to embody

757
00:54:32,519 --> 00:54:37,280
as well, how are you teach? And he was just obnoxiously clinging on

758
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:42,079
Saturday, so I said, you
know, oh you had to. Yeah,

759
00:54:42,559 --> 00:54:45,400
we were saying that, you know, no emotion there, no emotional

760
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,119
What what would be clinging from a
guy, because guys use that term with

761
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:58,960
women a lot. What is clinging
from a guy? Constant pda? Like

762
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:04,480
telling my friends who you're just me
that, like you really I have feelings

763
00:55:04,519 --> 00:55:08,760
for me? Like I just I
don't playing it cool. Just be cool.

764
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,320
I know you're not talking about me. You have no emotion, like,

765
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:23,199
yeah, I know my time out
a second. I'm a very sensitive

766
00:55:23,519 --> 00:55:29,440
person. I am if I get
to know you, otherwise I don't have

767
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:35,119
a nerve bad. I can admit
that you have a cold heart. Yeah,

768
00:55:35,519 --> 00:55:39,599
well so you have to people to
throw away. Yeah well, but

769
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:45,800
it's also I don't know you.
They complain about their houses being a mess.

770
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:51,400
But then you have to do something
to get where is most of your

771
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:57,159
clientele? Side? All right,
So there you go, so sticking with

772
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,679
that east side in an in a
uh, another check in the racist column

773
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:05,719
for Pittsford. Now Pittsford, for
people who don't know, is an affluent

774
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:10,960
Rochester suburb where there has been what
may be called a pattern of racist incidents.

775
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,320
And I'll just run them down.
It's typically called racistem I'm just gonna

776
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:20,159
know, lived in Pittsford for many
years. I now live in Fairport,

777
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,840
but very similar. Yeah. There
was a twenty twenty one New York Times

778
00:56:24,079 --> 00:56:30,079
article that they did on Pittsford,
and Channel eight had some of it,

779
00:56:30,159 --> 00:56:32,639
and it said in the first paragraph
of the New York Times article references made

780
00:56:32,679 --> 00:56:37,320
to a video of a student with
images of a weapon and racist messages that

781
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:42,480
circulated at Pittsford Sutherland, leading to
safety concerns. Investigators later determined that the

782
00:56:42,519 --> 00:56:45,119
weapon was an airsoft gun. It
was a video made in the spring.

783
00:56:45,199 --> 00:56:47,599
It resurfaced in the fall one year, and it was a kid and he

784
00:56:49,039 --> 00:56:51,800
just as he starts to say,
what you believe is going to be the

785
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,599
n word. The video cuts off, but he's got a gun and it's

786
00:56:54,599 --> 00:56:59,320
an airsoft gun. But it was
made in May, but it resurfaced in

787
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,440
September of that year, so a
new academic year, and it became all

788
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:06,639
over the news. Oh, kind
of like the Ray Lewis video. Yeah,

789
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,320
remember like all of a sudden,
it comes out right before the season.

790
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:13,760
Oh, he's got it, we
gotta cut him. Yes, and

791
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,039
then the video, Yeah, it
came out just days before parents is okay.

792
00:57:17,039 --> 00:57:22,000
There was another one. That video
that came out was just days before

793
00:57:22,079 --> 00:57:25,519
parents and students in the Greece Central
School District accused players on the Pittsford Mendon

794
00:57:25,639 --> 00:57:31,000
Boys and Girls varsity soccer teams of
making racist comments and slurs toward black students

795
00:57:31,039 --> 00:57:36,119
from Greece Arcadia in September. So
you had that video and then that incident

796
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:40,320
all in twenty twenty one, and
then both districts investigated. Pittsford said they

797
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:45,320
heard nothing, and Greece determined that
game, audio, video and interviews supported

798
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:50,880
the claims of the kids from Pittsford
were using racial slurs. Then, in

799
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:55,119
June of twenty twenty two, number
three thirteen wam Our local ABC affiliate had

800
00:57:55,199 --> 00:57:59,559
this story. The Pittsford Central School
District is facing new criticism, with students

801
00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:04,760
making actuations of racism and bigotry,
and some saying the issue is simply ignored.

802
00:58:05,239 --> 00:58:07,559
There was a girl name is Zoe
Barnes, a recent graduate. She

803
00:58:07,679 --> 00:58:13,519
graduated in twenty twenty two from Pittsford
men In High school, and she said

804
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:20,760
on Instagram she wrote this, there
have been a lot of microaggressions and just

805
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,920
racism that have experienced, and a
lot of my friends have also experienced through

806
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:29,199
the district. Pittsford claims to be
accepting and progressive, but if you ask

807
00:58:29,239 --> 00:58:31,679
anyone who is different who has gone
through Pittsford schools, they will tell you

808
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:37,760
a different story. Whether you're like
me, a bisexual Chinese adopted Jew who

809
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:42,360
grew up with yes, she said, one of the odds who grew up

810
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,800
with constant jokes about the Holocaust and
swastika is being drawn on my paper,

811
00:58:46,159 --> 00:58:50,880
people making fun of my middle name
and constant comments about the shape of my

812
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:55,400
eye. Or you're a Pakistani Muslim
whose religion is teased and you're called a

813
00:58:55,519 --> 00:59:00,280
terrorist whenever the Islam unit is taught
in history class or whether you're South Asian

814
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:04,519
and your peers constantly call you smelly
and make fun of the food you bring

815
00:59:04,559 --> 00:59:07,400
from home. She's talking about her
other friends that are like that, and

816
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,079
she said, at Pittsford, I
learned many things, but the one thing

817
00:59:09,159 --> 00:59:14,280
that sticks out to me is the
blatant racism and ignorance that presents itself.

818
00:59:14,719 --> 00:59:16,679
Since I was in kindergarten, I've
grown up with the constant reminders that I'm

819
00:59:16,719 --> 00:59:22,679
different and the constant normalization of microaggressions
and prejudice. Then there was a quiz

820
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,039
that was handed out a few years
ago that made news in Pittsford because it

821
00:59:25,119 --> 00:59:30,360
had racial overtones too. I think
it was a substitute teacher. I don't

822
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:35,000
remember, like questions about slaves or
something. Yeah, there's a sponsor of

823
00:59:35,079 --> 00:59:39,960
this podcast, Bilified podcast who took
his kid and this is a tough thing

824
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:46,719
to do. He is obviously a
different shade of skin tone. And the

825
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:52,280
kid was saying that there was a
lot of racism going on and a lot

826
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,519
of racial slurs being used toward him, and the parents pushed back against the

827
00:59:55,559 --> 01:00:00,119
district and they allowed him to live
in the district. But they got to

828
01:00:00,159 --> 01:00:02,440
another public school or he felt where
he felt safer, which I like.

829
01:00:02,599 --> 01:00:07,519
My kids went to Pittsford all the
way up to high school. I didn't

830
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:12,000
remember seeing anything like that, but
this was all in the news and it's

831
01:00:12,039 --> 01:00:14,960
documented, and the New York Times
did that big article. So I don't

832
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,679
know. I will tell you there
was a time that this always stood out

833
01:00:17,719 --> 01:00:22,760
to me. We had a boxer
and the boxer got cancer and it had

834
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,360
a big tumor on its neck,
and so all of a sudden, the

835
01:00:25,519 --> 01:00:30,639
electric fence wasn't working, and there
were a lot of people from they wouldn't

836
01:00:30,639 --> 01:00:35,079
want to be I think they were
Pakistani. They lived there, and then

837
01:00:35,159 --> 01:00:37,880
you know, lovely, no big
deal, it didn't matter. But the

838
01:00:38,039 --> 01:00:42,840
dog got out and the man and
his wife were walking. An older man

839
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,760
and his wife were walking down the
street and she ran into the middle of

840
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,599
the street because she didn't know the
dog was just going to come and lick

841
01:00:47,679 --> 01:00:51,400
you. But it's a boxer and
it's coming at you with all its muscles,

842
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,559
it looks like it could be aggressive. And my oldest son, who

843
01:00:55,559 --> 01:01:00,519
was probably about eleven at the time, and also so on the spectrum with

844
01:01:00,599 --> 01:01:06,599
Asperger, So some social stuff came
running in saying, somebody's yelling about our

845
01:01:06,719 --> 01:01:08,239
dog. We got to get the
dog. And he's saying he's going to

846
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,119
get our dog taken away. And
I said, well, what is he

847
01:01:10,199 --> 01:01:13,360
saying. He goes, I don't
know, blah blah blah blah blah because

848
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,199
he had an accent. But my
kid was very upset. That man got

849
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:21,480
so mad that my He said that
my son was being racist, and he

850
01:01:21,679 --> 01:01:25,199
wasn't. But what did that guy
experience prior to that in this town?

851
01:01:25,719 --> 01:01:29,679
I don't know, you know what
I'm saying. I have no idea.

852
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:36,039
So now we have this one twenty
twenty Pittsford Mendon graduate. His name is

853
01:01:36,079 --> 01:01:39,280
Patrick. I don't know if it's
Day or die. It's Dai. My

854
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:44,280
kid told me it was Day because
that's the year my son, Jordan graduated.

855
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:49,000
But he graduated mcuaid in twenty twenty, but had gone through Pittsford schools

856
01:01:49,079 --> 01:01:52,719
up to that point to high school. The New York Post ro Patrick Dye,

857
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:57,760
a junior at the prestigious university,
was arrested by federal authorities Tuesday for

858
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:01,559
allegedly making a string of disturbing online
post over the weekend threatening to kill and

859
01:02:01,639 --> 01:02:07,440
rape Jewish students and to bring an
assault rifle to campus quote unquote, Investigators

860
01:02:07,559 --> 01:02:12,960
traced as the post puts at the
dranged post to Die's IP address at his

861
01:02:13,039 --> 01:02:16,800
off campus apartment, where he allegedly
admitted to being the culprit. Di'es parents,

862
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:21,559
however, believe their son is innocent. My son says the father is

863
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:27,000
in severe depression. He cannot control
his motion well due to the depression.

864
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:31,079
No, I don't think he committed
the crime. And from what I understand,

865
01:02:31,199 --> 01:02:37,199
this kid entered Cornell as one of
five National Merit Scholars named at Pittsford

866
01:02:37,199 --> 01:02:40,599
Mendon High School, which is very
impressive. He's a twelve time ap scholar

867
01:02:40,679 --> 01:02:45,960
who also logged time volunteering at Rochester
General Hospital. At Cornell, he worked

868
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:52,239
as an undergraduate consultant, helping to
tutor other engineering students in a computer programming

869
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:57,400
language, and as the director of
logistics for the school's Science Olympiad. However,

870
01:02:57,599 --> 01:03:01,079
he underwent dramatic change after just one
year, his parents said, and

871
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:06,760
he was told by a doctor due
to deep depression to take a year off.

872
01:03:07,039 --> 01:03:10,440
So he's twenty one. Normally you'd
be a senior if you went traditionally

873
01:03:10,559 --> 01:03:15,079
through school. It doesn't matter.
But so he's a junior and he was

874
01:03:15,159 --> 01:03:20,400
always very nice to society, well
organized, helpful to my family and his

875
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:22,519
classmates. Before twenty twenty one,
his father said, he told us he

876
01:03:22,639 --> 01:03:25,960
lost his life goal and motivation.
As parents, we tried to give him

877
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,719
more in love. At the suggestion
of a doctor, he took time off

878
01:03:30,159 --> 01:03:35,599
and then they weren't hearing from him, the parents, So the mother drove

879
01:03:35,679 --> 01:03:38,920
down to Ithaca, and just when
she got there, that's when the cops

880
01:03:39,079 --> 01:03:43,599
were coming in and arresting the kid
for all these things. And I go,

881
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,840
man, if you're friends with this
family, it's got to be the

882
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:50,440
hardest thing, because I'm sure in
a way, you go, there's no

883
01:03:50,559 --> 01:03:52,920
way they would do this, But
the rest of the world is probably looking

884
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,800
at him, calling it. Do
you know what I'm saying, Hilert,

885
01:03:55,920 --> 01:04:00,960
right, yeah, high alert?
Right now, there's somebody going, well,

886
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,559
you know that makes sense, but
I doubt I don't know. And

887
01:04:03,639 --> 01:04:08,400
then you go, could it be
depression that you know, the start that

888
01:04:08,519 --> 01:04:12,199
starts this and you blame it?
I have no idea. Depressions in general

889
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,360
terms, is considered rage inward,
right, yeah, in a rage,

890
01:04:15,599 --> 01:04:18,840
So I mean they could have contributed
to that. Yeah, doesn't excuse it.

891
01:04:19,039 --> 01:04:21,320
Well, if he did it,
no, it doesn't. I don't

892
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:26,840
know. Uh. The lore with
Hitler was that he was trying to be

893
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,440
an artist and he couldn't get into
art school and he blamed Jews for that.

894
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,840
But historians will tell you he did
sell some art even though he didn't

895
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,360
get into art school, and the
person that bought it the most was a

896
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:43,920
Jewish guy. So it's like,
I don't know. And then you go,

897
01:04:44,119 --> 01:04:46,400
is this like a product of social
media? Do we have too much

898
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,800
information now? Where you can find
like mine, Like you love imports?

899
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:53,519
Yeah, I love out of rs, I can join the oud R club.

900
01:04:54,039 --> 01:04:57,000
Oh my god, but it's all
the other ship yees. Social media.

901
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:01,400
There's too much information. Yeah,
there's too much accessibility to everything right

902
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:06,320
now. Well, the thing that's
weird is how many people And I say

903
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:12,119
this gingerly because I don't know who
gets upset in that. But when Trump

904
01:05:12,239 --> 01:05:15,320
came in, all of a sudden, it became like this divisive thing.

905
01:05:15,519 --> 01:05:18,039
Like, all of a sudden,
people who you were friends with who maybe

906
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,960
were Trump or maybe you were Trump, and no longer were your friends that

907
01:05:23,079 --> 01:05:26,480
like became this crazy, didn't you
see? Yeah, because what happened was,

908
01:05:26,639 --> 01:05:29,440
yeah, so Nate Silver is like
that guy from five point thirty eight

909
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,239
who does all the polls, and
he's like, Hillary's gonna win this election,

910
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,400
no problem. Right. Well,
what been found out was like nobody

911
01:05:34,559 --> 01:05:38,320
who wanted to vote for Trump would
admit they were voting for Trump. And

912
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:42,119
then when Trump won, they all
went on social media go whoa yeah,

913
01:05:42,119 --> 01:05:44,920
and they kind of revealed who they
were, which, okay, fine,

914
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,519
you vote, you vote whatever.
But then the other side got angry about

915
01:05:47,559 --> 01:05:50,079
that, and then all of a
sudden, like you know, then we

916
01:05:50,679 --> 01:05:56,679
basically learned how divided we really are. Yeah. Not to mention part of

917
01:05:56,719 --> 01:06:00,320
the the uh, Trump's opposition,
Hillary and others were painting him as a

918
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:04,320
racist. I mean even zat Zach
Salfanakis made a joke about him wearing a

919
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:09,159
quote white power tie when he was
interviewing Hillary Clinton. Remember, so,

920
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,480
I mean so yeah, so I
guess that that so people had that stigma,

921
01:06:12,599 --> 01:06:15,159
even though I'm sure most of them
were doing a racist vote in their

922
01:06:15,199 --> 01:06:18,599
body, They just voted for Trump
because they wanted to quote make America great

923
01:06:18,639 --> 01:06:23,000
again. It is it bad.
I feel really badly for the family.

924
01:06:23,199 --> 01:06:27,679
I do too, because I go
just the Dye family in Pittsford like their

925
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,519
kid, right. I don't know. I would think I don't know how

926
01:06:31,559 --> 01:06:35,679
all this came about. But most
of the time, if you feel a

927
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:40,199
certain way that it's against the greatest
society, you keep it to yourself,

928
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:44,800
keep it behind closed doors. Now
it's out everywhere. I mean, it's

929
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:50,639
on Fox, and here's the Fox
News report. New York Governor Kathy Hokel

930
01:06:50,719 --> 01:06:55,800
says police now, I mean,
huge story everywhere. So everybody you know

931
01:06:56,599 --> 01:07:00,400
now knows it's your kid and the
way you got to change your holiday plans.

932
01:07:00,559 --> 01:07:05,119
You know what I'm saying. But
I'm sure Cornell loves the press too.

933
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:10,199
Correspondent Mike Emmanuel has all the breaking
details. Mike, what are you

934
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:14,280
learning? Hi? Iisha New York
Governor Kathy Hochel announcing a short time ago,

935
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,480
law enforcement has identified a person of
interest in relation to threats of a

936
01:07:17,599 --> 01:07:23,599
mass shooting and anti Semitic violence at
Cornell University. This individual is currently in

937
01:07:23,679 --> 01:07:27,119
New York State police custody for questioning. I think he's in the Brown County

938
01:07:27,199 --> 01:07:30,519
jail. Cornell. We're threatened by
a social media post quote Jewish people need

939
01:07:30,599 --> 01:07:34,880
to be killed. If you see
a Jewish person on campus, follow them

940
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:41,400
home and slit their throats. Hocal
is trying to offer some comfert right,

941
01:07:41,639 --> 01:07:45,239
like what happened? You were volunteering
in Rochester General and now you're writing this.

942
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,679
This is a very large Jewish population
at Conall as well. Yes,

943
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:54,559
I know my brother went there,
but I mean it screams mental illness.

944
01:07:54,639 --> 01:07:58,039
Well yes, but the other thing
is is it possible that somebody got into

945
01:07:58,119 --> 01:08:00,360
his computer and it came from his
IP address except that he admitted it.

946
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,440
He admitted, So why are you
gonna, you know, turn the blame

947
01:08:03,519 --> 01:08:09,920
on yourself being expressed? Good point
on their campus, even with police.

948
01:08:10,039 --> 01:08:12,880
You know, it's still frightening.
Sure, it would be about our daily

949
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,319
lives, and we're trying to continue
to be proud and stay strong as our

950
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:20,760
Jewish selves, but it's still scary. A law school professor at Cornell says,

951
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:27,680
Unfortunately, nobody should be surprised by
this hateful reaction. We've got a

952
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:32,319
toxic atmosphere and Cornell and other schools
need to consider whether this hyper focus,

953
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:38,039
this obsession with race, is actually
making matters worse. I know that at

954
01:08:38,079 --> 01:08:43,439
Cornell it's making matters a lot worse
for Jewish students. Okay, I have

955
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:47,199
to play that piece again because that
stood out to me so much because there

956
01:08:47,279 --> 01:08:54,039
was a Bloomberg article from February of
twenty twenty one talking about hyper focus on

957
01:08:54,239 --> 01:08:59,039
race and what that does in the
workplace to people. So if you are

958
01:09:00,039 --> 01:09:05,039
a minority, that a lot of
times you feel marginalized because you're not recognized

959
01:09:05,159 --> 01:09:09,279
for your ability and your skill,
but more like, hey, you're the

960
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:14,119
You're the black person who can tell
us, hey about this Black Lives Matter

961
01:09:14,239 --> 01:09:15,960
thing. And you may not have
any idea, it's just another human being.

962
01:09:16,399 --> 01:09:20,039
But there's a hyper focus like this
is We've got a toxic atmosphere,

963
01:09:20,319 --> 01:09:26,239
and Cornell and other schools need to
consider whether this hyper focus, this obsession

964
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:30,079
with race is actually making matters worse. I know that at Cornell it's making

965
01:09:30,239 --> 01:09:33,960
matters a lot worse for Jewish students. So I would say, let people

966
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:38,319
be people. Let's hate them for
their shitty dad jokes. Yes, just

967
01:09:38,399 --> 01:09:43,520
like anybody else. I want to
hate people on merit, yes, Okay,

968
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,239
I want to hate you for good
reasons to hate you I want to

969
01:09:46,239 --> 01:09:50,279
bring I call it a meritocracy.
We need to bring back merit in this

970
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:55,920
country. For example, Kevin from
Canada, I hate Canada. There you

971
01:09:56,039 --> 01:10:00,000
goada, You've earned it. I
don't. That was that was I don't

972
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,159
hate Canada. I'm a age tragical
HIF fan. Just to back it.

973
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:06,319
I just it's It's an interesting thing
because there's a lot of focus on race,

974
01:10:06,359 --> 01:10:10,960
and sometimes you wonder if it's starting
to fuel Oh yeah, all the

975
01:10:11,119 --> 01:10:14,199
freaking teash. Like I walked into
Fisher in nineteen ninety eight and you have

976
01:10:14,279 --> 01:10:15,880
to take these quote diversity classes.
I'm like, okay, what's that?

977
01:10:16,279 --> 01:10:19,399
I think, Oh, just something
different like diversity. I'm I'm a white

978
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:23,039
kid from Silver Creek, New York, where ninety nine percent of the population

979
01:10:23,159 --> 01:10:25,880
is white and the rest is Native
American. Okay, So I walk into

980
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:29,239
class and the first thing that you're
taught by these like diversity classes, that

981
01:10:29,359 --> 01:10:33,039
all white people are racist. What
I'm not joking. No, I can

982
01:10:33,119 --> 01:10:38,279
tell you the professor's name, can
tell you the classes. And I'm like,

983
01:10:38,399 --> 01:10:40,159
this is in the school, this
is the reflection, this is the

984
01:10:40,199 --> 01:10:43,199
teeth, these are the professors.
All white people are racist? And if

985
01:10:43,199 --> 01:10:45,359
you disagree, you're going to get
a C. If you agree, you're

986
01:10:45,359 --> 01:10:46,239
gonna get an A. That's how
it was. You either got an A

987
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:53,119
for following what the professor said.
Dude, you know what, you shouldn't

988
01:10:53,119 --> 01:10:56,319
still have the notes you graduated a
long time ago. Laura had to throw

989
01:11:00,079 --> 01:11:02,199
seriously like you're You're like, that's
that's what they're taught. All white people

990
01:11:02,239 --> 01:11:06,000
are racist. You can't choice about
it. It's you can't do anything about

991
01:11:08,279 --> 01:11:11,760
you benefit. You benefit from white
privilege, Therefore you're a racist. Okay.

992
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:13,840
Well, and I kind of went
along with, like, yeah,

993
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,199
that makes sense. All right,
Well did you realize one day after like

994
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:19,119
about you know, that's the stupidest
thing of a freaking but hang on,

995
01:11:19,279 --> 01:11:23,760
slow down just a minute, because
it's not. What's what's the stupidest thing

996
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,279
you ever heard? White privilege?
All white people are racist? Okay,

997
01:11:26,359 --> 01:11:29,760
Well, I can't do I can't
control that. I find that very hard

998
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,800
to believe that that's what was said, what was taught. All right.

999
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:36,960
I didn't have I didn't have any
diversity classes at at Fisher, But I

1000
01:11:38,039 --> 01:11:42,119
would say that there is a better
I I have said and I do truly

1001
01:11:42,279 --> 01:11:45,640
believe in my soul that I have
benefited from being a white guy in this

1002
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:51,520
country. I have walked the line
of trouble since the time I popped on

1003
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:56,880
this planet. I had police showing
up at my house to find out who

1004
01:11:57,039 --> 01:12:00,640
was at parties where property got destroyed
that I did not because they knew.

1005
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:04,479
I knew everybody. I knew every
party. I never but I got away

1006
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:09,479
with it all. I got ticket
I got so many tickets. I got

1007
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:13,439
on the radio in Poughkeepsie at nineteen
and thanked a police officer for not showing

1008
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:15,319
up at court and saving me all
this money. I got pulled over all

1009
01:12:15,359 --> 01:12:17,720
the time. If I were a
black kid, who the fuck knows what

1010
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,359
would have happened? I agree,
do you know what? And that's why

1011
01:12:20,399 --> 01:12:24,520
I'm saying when people say, oh, white privilege, I still had to

1012
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,079
work hard. Yes, I'm sure
you did. But what also happens is

1013
01:12:28,319 --> 01:12:30,920
I was doing ninety not long ago
down the New York State Thruway, within

1014
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:35,039
the last two years, and I
got pulled over, and I showed some

1015
01:12:35,279 --> 01:12:39,199
kind of identification that was in my
wallet, and I was told to have

1016
01:12:39,239 --> 01:12:44,079
a nice day and slow down.
I don't know if it would have been

1017
01:12:44,119 --> 01:12:47,319
the same for someone of a different
tone skin. I also have a family

1018
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:51,239
that's mixed. You know. My
brother in law, yes, is Somalian,

1019
01:12:51,399 --> 01:12:57,159
he's his dad was a diplomat,
and my sister looks much like me.

1020
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:00,720
And he is very worried about like
his kids. One of his kids

1021
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:06,079
was uh in nursery school with just
a pure naked just all of a sudden,

1022
01:13:06,119 --> 01:13:09,760
he's like two or three years old, pere naked. And my mother

1023
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,920
thought it was really funny and and
Mustapha said, please don't laugh. He

1024
01:13:13,279 --> 01:13:16,199
the rules aren't the same for him. Now, I don't know. I

1025
01:13:16,239 --> 01:13:19,239
get that, you get that.
That's the only thing I see is white

1026
01:13:19,319 --> 01:13:24,119
privilege. But I don't remember hearing
everybody's race. All white people were racist.

1027
01:13:24,159 --> 01:13:27,399
That's what Dick Sullivan and Vince Goldfan
taught at s chuff Fisher then in

1028
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,319
college. I don't even know those
guys. Yeah, and I never had

1029
01:13:30,319 --> 01:13:31,760
That's what they that's what they taught. That's what they taught, and they

1030
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:33,920
weren't and they weren't the only ones. Yeah, you could, and I

1031
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,399
could give you a laundry list of
people who are in the same class,

1032
01:13:36,399 --> 01:13:41,520
who are the same that's disappointed over
and over and over pain and the broad

1033
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:44,920
brush. Because here's the thing though, so now they call it selling out

1034
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,600
for a grade, right, So
you just reflect back with the professor teaches

1035
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:51,600
you in your papers and in your
tests so that you get an A instead

1036
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:55,720
of a C or a B.
And then after a while it starts to

1037
01:13:56,079 --> 01:14:00,159
go along because there's no opposition,
there's no oppositional thought. So oh,

1038
01:14:00,359 --> 01:14:02,039
all of a sudden you start to
believe those things. Then nine to eleven

1039
01:14:02,119 --> 01:14:04,920
happens. You're like, Okay,
hold on, we need to really rethink

1040
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:09,039
everything. I have to tell you. I'm very, very very bothered and

1041
01:14:09,119 --> 01:14:12,920
disappointed by what I'm hearing because I
never experienced that as Saint John Fisher.

1042
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:16,319
I went there, I took all
philosophy classes where you had real critical thinking.

1043
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:20,279
I was challenged like I've never been
challenged in my life in terms of

1044
01:14:20,279 --> 01:14:26,199
writing. And I would be someone
who was more for in an ethics class

1045
01:14:26,319 --> 01:14:30,279
how to write a paper that I
could not come with my own argument.

1046
01:14:30,359 --> 01:14:32,079
It wasn't even being told one way
or the other on how to write it.

1047
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:35,079
But I would be for a woman's
choice. I still am. I

1048
01:14:35,119 --> 01:14:39,600
would say you have the right to
choose that, but I couldn't come up

1049
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:45,279
with an argument for myself to come
through literally or logically that it challenged my

1050
01:14:45,319 --> 01:14:50,439
whole way of thinking as to whether
or not abortion was ethically didn't have to

1051
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:55,640
be legally just ethically, where would
I stand with it? And I never

1052
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,520
had anybody tell me you have to
do it this way? Do you understand

1053
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:01,279
what I'm saying? And boy,
that's a really damning thing to say about

1054
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:05,119
a university. I've never been nineteen
ninety nine, and I never heard that

1055
01:15:05,239 --> 01:15:09,800
from anybody. And I know many
many people and have done so many things

1056
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:13,520
with Fisher that I'm surprised to hear
that. I really am. I'm surprised.

1057
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:15,560
I've never heard that. I've never
even had to take it in ethics

1058
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:17,800
or a diversity class there, so
I don't know. One class was called

1059
01:15:18,199 --> 01:15:21,039
Martin and Malcolm, meaning they were
like trying to compare Martin, Luther King,

1060
01:15:21,079 --> 01:15:24,920
and Malcolm X, even though we
never talked about either. We just

1061
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:28,079
talked about racism every day. And
then the other class was called word Up.

1062
01:15:28,079 --> 01:15:30,319
Do you know what I'm saying?
It was about communicating in the modern

1063
01:15:30,359 --> 01:15:34,520
world, But that was also a
class that talked about race more than anything

1064
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:36,720
else. And when you walk out
of there, you're like, uh huh

1065
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:42,239
uh huh huh. And eventually you
turn into a zombie because again you're listening

1066
01:15:42,239 --> 01:15:45,479
to college professors telling you stuff,
and of course you're a college student.

1067
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:47,239
You're not really doing the homework.
You're just doing your homework that you're assigned

1068
01:15:47,279 --> 01:15:49,760
because you want to go to the
next party or do whatever. And then

1069
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:53,520
eventually it just soaks into your brain
and you just go along with it.

1070
01:15:54,159 --> 01:15:57,840
And I think that's what that generation
does too, because my generation was susceptible

1071
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:00,079
to it in terms of what do
you mean, like like going along with

1072
01:16:00,199 --> 01:16:02,880
yes, professor, Yes, okay, yeah, you know what that makes

1073
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:06,279
sense? Yeah, you're right,
because there was never a counter argument.

1074
01:16:06,399 --> 01:16:10,760
Man, I had it. Man
I had arguments, Like God, I

1075
01:16:11,239 --> 01:16:14,399
had this guy who would come and
sit with me in the commons area and

1076
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:17,319
we would just debate, and he
was the philosophy professor and never and I

1077
01:16:17,359 --> 01:16:21,279
think sometimes just took the oppenice decide
because he like engaging with it. At

1078
01:16:21,279 --> 01:16:24,640
one point, in fact, at
one point I'm not gonna make this up

1079
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:27,479
either. At one point, not
that I anything before, Well, it

1080
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,039
sounds like maybe maybe maybe there's a
flaw. No, because well I think

1081
01:16:30,079 --> 01:16:34,520
you think that it's nuts. But
there was a student and Dick Sullivan was

1082
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:39,119
the was the professor, and he
didn't say who the student was, but

1083
01:16:39,199 --> 01:16:42,399
he wrote a paragraph, he copied
a paragraph that this student wrote to him

1084
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:45,920
saying, all the stuff you teach
is complete bullshit about racism, about everything

1085
01:16:46,119 --> 01:16:49,199
is okay, prove it to me
then, and he oh, who's the

1086
01:16:49,239 --> 01:16:51,680
student. I'm not gonna say who
it was. Somebody in this class wrote

1087
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,840
me this. I'm not gonna say
who it is. But now you gotta

1088
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:58,840
let your assignment is to prove this. Prove that none of you could prove

1089
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:00,600
this. None you could think like
I can. Now, yours as smart

1090
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:02,560
as I. That's what it is, what he said. Yeah, but

1091
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:06,960
in the class for that challenge it
that's where you know that, that's where

1092
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,720
I think we fall down. Now, you're right, we don't have a

1093
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,760
dialogue, an honest dialogue. We
don't have it. All right, Well,

1094
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,479
we'll have an Ilons dialogue. We'll
play a name our racist suburb.

1095
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:19,760
I'll give you the scenario. You
tell me the suburb. Just just things

1096
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:23,439
that have happened. They're all around
here, there's only a couple of them.

1097
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:27,279
Well, we'll do it next.

1112
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:45,159
I love that school. I'm not
blaming the school. This list a

1113
01:18:45,199 --> 01:18:48,279
couple of professors in the class.
They can't monitor everything comes out of a

1114
01:18:48,359 --> 01:18:56,680
professor's mouth. I love this album
by the way, I've come. I've

1115
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,560
listened to it over around. Yeah, I've a few summers. That's pretty

1116
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:04,239
good. Yeah, they're eighty ken
never thought the Stones would be still going

1117
01:19:04,279 --> 01:19:11,439
at eighty years old. I think
it's uh, watch well, Charlie Watts

1118
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:14,359
is on a couple of the tracks
because I had recorded him before he passed.

1119
01:19:15,119 --> 01:19:18,399
Uh maybe maybe just one. And
then the other guys from the expensive

1120
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:24,680
Winos, which is Keith's side.
I think it's his name is Jordan's something,

1121
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:30,520
But I don't know. No,
are they coming to Heimark Stadium again?

1122
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:32,239
They probably are, I think,
so, Yeah, you heard that.

1123
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,840
I heard it. I don't know
where, and I know I heard

1124
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:40,800
it. Greig's probably got taken.
Greg. I wouldn't be surprised. I

1125
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:46,039
would not I would not be surprised
at all. All Right, I'll give

1126
01:19:46,039 --> 01:19:49,319
you the the scenario. You tell
me the town. Okay, all right,

1127
01:19:49,399 --> 01:19:55,239
the suburb this former town supervisor.
Since we've had a lot of Greece,

1128
01:19:55,279 --> 01:20:03,560
I'm gonna say grease right now.
I was just gonna see it now.

1129
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:06,960
The area has had some things that
people have deemed I would say they're

1130
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:15,039
more racial than necessarily ra hang on, this former town supervisor used racist,

1131
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:20,119
sexist, homophobic language against employees.
A pair of civil rights lawsuits alleging workplace

1132
01:20:20,199 --> 01:20:26,840
discrimination and harassment have been filed against
this town and the former supervisor. Name

1133
01:20:27,119 --> 01:20:32,479
that racist suburb, Henrietta. That
would be right, yes, Okay,

1134
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:40,800
here we go. One more on
the board. After a racist video shared

1135
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:45,239
on the social media giant TikTok,
allegedly from a college student, made its

1136
01:20:45,359 --> 01:20:49,319
rounds on social media, students states
to protests. In addition to the TikTok

1137
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:53,600
video, group of young women say
they were yelled at by men in a

1138
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:59,640
truck using inappropriate and racial language.
They feel the police are not acting on

1139
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:03,319
it, but they say the problem
goes deeper than those two incidents. Name

1140
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:10,119
that racist suburb college, So think
of that Brockport. Kevin says, Brockport.

1141
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:15,399
There's only like three, so I
have to go with Pittsford. I

1142
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:19,479
was kids Pittsford for Naturreth and Fisher. The enter is Brockport. You are

1143
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:28,640
correct. A group of African American
friends were watching a video of comedian Kevin

1144
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:32,479
Hart in summer school in twenty eighteen. The skit used the N word.

1145
01:21:33,119 --> 01:21:39,640
When a white student reported it to
school administration, This female student, who

1146
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:43,840
was entering the tenth grade, was
admonished for sharing showing the video to her

1147
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:49,479
other friends. Deciding that she'd been
treated unfairly, this tenth grader took her

1148
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:56,880
grievance public with a lengthy July twelfth
YouTube video describing the incident, in addition

1149
01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:01,600
to alleging racial bias at the school
and in the town. Name that racist

1150
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:06,079
suburb. Summer school's got to be
west Side. Okay you're saying west Side.

1151
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:13,720
You're going to Rondequoit. Okay,
Kevin, I'm going man, I'd

1152
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:16,359
like I think maybe one that we
wouldn't think of. This may be one

1153
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:24,279
Rochester talking about like not Hilton Hilton. The answer is right answers, because

1154
01:22:24,319 --> 01:22:28,479
this girl said as a black student, she said in her video, everybody

1155
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:31,880
thinks I'm urban, suburban, but
I live minutes walking distance from the school.

1156
01:22:32,199 --> 01:22:35,399
But because I'm black, I realized
I had school on the east side.

1157
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:40,399
Yeah, what did you said?
Didn't realize they had summer school.

1158
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,600
Usually it's usually to get ahead.
It's usually what it is. It's usually

1159
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:50,479
to get ahead. Uh, let's
see, I had the papers, got

1160
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:54,760
out of We're gonna out of.
Oh, come on, I have my

1161
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:59,199
favorite one. I got one.
This guy ran for governor of Louisiana.

1162
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:04,039
He's a from here, from No
No, from Louisiana. It was our

1163
01:23:04,119 --> 01:23:06,880
suburbs. Keep it a low all. I hope you say, who is

1164
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:23,239
David Duke? Easy? Racers?
Stand on your beliefs. You can't not

1165
01:23:23,359 --> 01:23:36,039
good. A wealthy white couple from
what is Pittsfords Hang on now, hang

1166
01:23:36,119 --> 01:23:43,000
on? A wealthy white couple who
adamantly defended themselves against what they called quote

1167
01:23:43,279 --> 01:23:47,680
false claims of racism. The couple
allegedly had a large backyard political fundraising party

1168
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:53,520
that was decorated with Juneteenth flags and
cups that were placed near buckets of KFC

1169
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:58,560
and bottles of Hennessy cognac. According
to the document, name the racist suburb

1170
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:03,880
or part of the city that couple
lived in. What was the name of

1171
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:09,279
the is Yeah, he was a
dentist, and they were right on East

1172
01:24:09,319 --> 01:24:13,600
Avenue in the city of Rochester.
On Yeah, this is this is big

1173
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:17,279
news. Yeah, I made national
news. And then she stood up and

1174
01:24:17,319 --> 01:24:20,600
said, I don't have a racist
going to my body. But then she

1175
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:24,800
said, I wish I should have
pulled the audio. And then she said,

1176
01:24:25,119 --> 01:24:29,439
while I did have a parody Twitter
account that did have a lot of

1177
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:35,359
racial that lawyer got the bar stood
in front of cameras and said this covenant

1178
01:24:36,039 --> 01:24:41,640
and the lawyer got dispired apparently for
being stupid. Really, all right,

1179
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:45,960
one last one here, some high
school students held demonstrations after what was described

1180
01:24:46,199 --> 01:24:51,119
as racist and offensive content was posted
on social media and then email sent from

1181
01:24:51,119 --> 01:24:56,760
the school district to families. The
principal explained that over the last few days

1182
01:24:56,960 --> 01:25:02,920
there had been quote sharing and posting
of offensive content to social media involving students

1183
01:25:03,359 --> 01:25:10,760
from this suburban high school name the
racist suburb. This is one we have.

1184
01:25:11,159 --> 01:25:15,000
Nobody's handled, nobody's mentioned. You're
not far off. Nobody's is a

1185
01:25:15,079 --> 01:25:25,159
fair Oh, Fairport has been pretty
good. Penfield close, I mean Webster,

1186
01:25:25,359 --> 01:25:34,520
Webster, Webster, Thomas Webster,
Thomas right there, Thomas tell yeah,

1187
01:25:38,319 --> 01:25:41,560
I mean, we could say there
was a lot or was there a

1188
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:45,000
lot? Were just highlighting it that
and it shouldn't be tolerated. Somebody who's

1189
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:48,199
the town supervisor shouldn't be using rates
as sexist language. It should not be.

1190
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:53,279
But sometimes the hyper focus, I
don't know if it's if it's helping

1191
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:57,880
to be quite on that's the only
If we can all just have a discussion,

1192
01:25:58,279 --> 01:26:00,800
we probably still wouldn't get anywhere,
but at least we over body stands

1193
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:04,359
Yeah, just ta, I just
like I just like being human. And

1194
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:08,880
then I'll hate you for your shitty
jokes or whatever dumb thing you hate people

1195
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,760
on merit. That's my new campaign
for twenty twenty four. I'm still stuck

1196
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:17,279
on that Cornell student. And you
know, I have a client in Pittsford

1197
01:26:17,399 --> 01:26:25,199
that they have Asian heritage, and
she spoke openly with me about the bullying

1198
01:26:25,279 --> 01:26:30,520
that her children have had at Pittsford. So I'm sort of wondering if the

1199
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,760
Dye student day DAI. So I
don't know if it's day or die.

1200
01:26:34,119 --> 01:26:36,760
My son said day when I talked
to him, but I don't know if

1201
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:43,359
he was bullied, and now you
know he internalized that hate and now after

1202
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:46,439
going through or had the Tiger Asian
mom if he went to college, if

1203
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:53,039
he went to Cornell on a merit
scholarship and now is sort of regressing and

1204
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:58,119
taking his hate out on someone else, it could be messy. There's any

1205
01:26:58,239 --> 01:27:00,239
number of things. You're right,
but he was highly accomplished. I mean

1206
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:04,600
Brand Dice is a well known Jewish
school, okay, and there have been

1207
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:11,520
reports of like people who support Palestine
like going after Jewish students at Brand Dice,

1208
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,399
like who or even Jewish Jewish students
turning on each other at BRANDI Here.

1209
01:27:15,399 --> 01:27:17,279
I mean, it's like it's a
lot of this, Like you're hearing

1210
01:27:17,279 --> 01:27:20,920
a lot of so much noise in
knowledge the stuff that that went on in

1211
01:27:21,039 --> 01:27:26,479
Gossam. Yeah, it's over that
Hamas is original. So some of the

1212
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:31,119
most inhumane stuff I've ever heard in
my life. It's absolutely awful. So

1213
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:35,920
I don't know why you just I
mean, not everybody's gonna like everybody but

1214
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:41,800
not liking you because you happen to
be of a certain thing you didn't control

1215
01:27:42,359 --> 01:27:45,000
that we know of, right.
I don't think anybody chose to be whatever

1216
01:27:45,119 --> 01:27:47,800
they are. They choose that,
So why are we getting mad? About

1217
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:50,920
that again. Shitty jokes. I
fucking hate you. Get out of here.

1218
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,600
Yeah, right, you know I
want to hate you on that you

1219
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:59,960
drive it if you don't drive a
car that Kevin van Wackelberg deems excepting hate.

1220
01:28:00,319 --> 01:28:04,520
Yeah that, I'm not going to
kill you. No, that's the

1221
01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:09,479
thing I don't understand. That's the
stuff that I can't Cowboys. Wrap my

1222
01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:14,199
hand around. Head around, right, cowboys. By the way, some

1223
01:28:14,319 --> 01:28:17,279
changes in the NFL. I see
already they've already made their first firing in

1224
01:28:17,359 --> 01:28:23,159
the NFL at the coaching position,
Josh McDaniels. Is that Josh McDaniels,

1225
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:29,720
his offensive coordinator, his general manager
of fire in the waters. See.

1226
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:33,079
The bad part is the Raiders had
signed John Gruden to a ten year contract,

1227
01:28:33,159 --> 01:28:39,319
and then John Gruden, for racist
reasons, was fired. They went

1228
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:42,760
back through. They were trying to
get Daniel Snyder, who owned the Commanders

1229
01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:46,840
out. They wanted him to sell
the team. He was accused of inappropriate

1230
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:56,279
behaviors, sexual harassment from the owner
like the people as well, like the

1231
01:28:56,319 --> 01:29:00,159
commanders. I don't know that's the
packers, but the commanders know, and

1232
01:29:00,319 --> 01:29:03,840
and this guy they wanted out.
So they were going through all these emails,

1233
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:09,239
and they found emails that Gruden had
sent to the team or someone act

1234
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:13,720
was working for the Yeah, when
Gruden was was when Gruden was with the

1235
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:17,439
ESPN, he would send emails to
the general manager, Bruce Allen about de

1236
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:21,359
Morris Smith, the head of the
players Association, who's black, talking about

1237
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:26,760
the size of his lips. Oh, and that's what got gad. So

1238
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:30,319
then they came back and they fired
Gruden. But so now you got the

1239
01:29:30,399 --> 01:29:32,720
Raiders who are looking for a name
coach. You got a guy who is

1240
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:36,199
an offensive coordinator for a multiple super
Bowl winning team. You bring him in.

1241
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:40,359
This is the second time Josh McDaniels
has failed as a head coach.

1242
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:43,720
Yeah, he failed in Denver,
and then he spurned Indianapolis. He got

1243
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:45,680
the whole coaching staff hired, and
then he goes, yeah, I don't

1244
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:47,800
want to go there. Yeah,
that's how Frank Craik got the job.

1245
01:29:49,399 --> 01:29:53,119
Hey, by the way, it
just popped into my head since I'm looking

1246
01:29:53,119 --> 01:29:57,199
at you. You hire a lot
of people. I mean, think about

1247
01:29:57,319 --> 01:30:01,119
like how much your business has grown. Yeah, and then but think about

1248
01:30:01,159 --> 01:30:05,319
the people you've hired, the families
you your business, you're that was wanting.

1249
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:10,600
Yes, that's right now. The
thing that we hear a lot,

1250
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:14,760
but I think it's very different in
your business is it's hard to find people

1251
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,760
and to retain people. Like we
had a guy sitting where you are hospitality

1252
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:27,960
business, say they put something out
for a chef, had six people respond

1253
01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:32,840
and set up interviews with six people. One of them showed up. Are

1254
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:36,199
you seeing that in your so like
knock on wood, we have not had

1255
01:30:36,239 --> 01:30:40,239
that problem, So yeah, I
think it's a very different, really thing

1256
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:45,119
uh with retention. And we have
like a really good little speech oop community

1257
01:30:45,279 --> 01:30:50,039
with our employees and we've seen god, what was it. We were just

1258
01:30:50,119 --> 01:30:57,199
talking about this the other day.
So many of because they're guys basically basically

1259
01:30:57,279 --> 01:31:02,279
all the guys that work there,
they've all started single, got girlfriends,

1260
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:08,319
got married, right, got a
house, having children, and they're growing

1261
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:11,680
up and we're like the business is
growing with them. Yeah, and we're

1262
01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:15,000
trying to like nurture that as well. And it's like a really hard thing

1263
01:31:15,079 --> 01:31:19,520
to do. But like we haven't
had a problem like trying to find people.

1264
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:24,640
We've only had a problem like right
now, we're hiring a new person

1265
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:31,439
and really cool kid. He's single, like has everything going for him,

1266
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:35,640
and we're like really excited to bring
him in. But if I was desperate

1267
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:40,600
to try and find somebody of like
say three or four my guys quit because

1268
01:31:41,319 --> 01:31:45,680
we didn't do everything that we did
in previous years to like nurture the business

1269
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:48,560
and nurture these people and bring them
up and support them through their lives and

1270
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:51,359
everything else. And like if they're
like having a bad day and then like

1271
01:31:51,399 --> 01:31:55,239
I got to go, my kids
sick or this happened or whatever, we're

1272
01:31:55,279 --> 01:31:58,640
just like just go. I don't
think we would be at the point that

1273
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:00,720
we're at. And like that's what
trying to Like it's a different environment over

1274
01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:03,239
there, Like it really is it. It really is like most of the

1275
01:32:03,319 --> 01:32:06,479
time, Like and that was the
biggest thing, is like when I started

1276
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:14,199
the shop is that I didn't want
to be your just automotive mechanomic shop.

1277
01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:16,600
Yeah, no you're not. I
want to have like a family. It

1278
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,760
is the cleanest garage. I've said
this many times and all the ads we

1279
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:23,560
did, I always said, it's
the cleanest garage you've ever been. I

1280
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:26,079
know, Like I still had to
have you guys. Laura would go over

1281
01:32:26,159 --> 01:32:29,640
there and she would be so disappointed
because there's nothing to organize. It's all

1282
01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:33,760
done nothing. Yeah, well there
there's sometimes right now, it's really funny.

1283
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:35,880
Yeah, we got to come up
for you. But like sometimes you

1284
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:40,600
come over there and you're just like, oh wow, there's like five engines

1285
01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:43,880
torn apart and you're just like whoa
like and you just don't want to touch

1286
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,319
any No, you know, well
somebody knows where, like everybody knows where

1287
01:32:46,359 --> 01:32:49,079
everything goes. But at the same
time, like and then what we try

1288
01:32:49,119 --> 01:32:53,239
and clean up really good for cars
and coffee once a month, and uh,

1289
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:56,319
what's it's going to kind of get
out of control for like the next

1290
01:32:56,359 --> 01:32:59,439
couple of months because it's all indoors. It's all yeah, well we don't

1291
01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:01,920
do the indoors stuffel like, which
is kind of whatever. But there's a

1292
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:05,520
lot of big projects coming through right
now and we're just like yeah, but

1293
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:11,760
yeah, it's crazy. It's really
really hard. I see the problem.

1294
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:16,319
I can see where other shops and
other industries would have that problem, especially

1295
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:19,640
in like the blue collar industry.
Yeah, like really, there's not a

1296
01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:21,720
lot of people that want to work. There's not a lot of people that

1297
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:25,640
want to get into it. There's
not a lot of people that like really

1298
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:30,760
have that drive anymore. It's interesting
because it's very rare to find somebody.

1299
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:34,560
That's why, like we've recently found
somebody and we're in the process of hiring

1300
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:40,239
them, which is probably gonna start
in several months. And I just love

1301
01:33:40,279 --> 01:33:43,800
it and like we actually, you
know to One of the things that like

1302
01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:46,520
I have a lot of respect for
is like our I think our guys and

1303
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:49,920
girls and stuff like that work for
us, respect us so much. One

1304
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:56,199
of our techs is leaving and going
to Florida, and his whole entire family

1305
01:33:56,319 --> 01:33:57,840
is like, Oh, don't tell
him. Don't tell me to leave me

1306
01:33:58,079 --> 01:33:59,880
until like the last minute. But
he's like, no, I have to

1307
01:34:00,039 --> 01:34:02,319
tell them because they've been really so
good to us. But he told us

1308
01:34:02,399 --> 01:34:05,800
like two months ago, and he's
not leaving till like January or February to

1309
01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:09,880
like move to Florida. And we're
like, oh, I really appreciate that.

1310
01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:15,159
And now I'm we'll get someone up
to say fails for you come back,

1311
01:34:15,239 --> 01:34:20,039
And like I've had another employee that
left at one point and then came

1312
01:34:20,079 --> 01:34:23,359
back and said, hey, this
didn't work out. I'm like, yeah,

1313
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:26,880
you were so amazing. Definitely I'm
going to hire you back, Like

1314
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:30,399
yeah, yeah, it I just
think it's a well one. It's a

1315
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:33,800
different environment. Do you do meetings
and things there, Yeah, it's the

1316
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:38,520
one I love to hear because I
don't think meetings should be should last more

1317
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:41,600
than fifteen minutes. I really like, we don't really do like group meetings.

1318
01:34:42,279 --> 01:34:47,680
The last big meeting that we had
was when COVID started right that whole

1319
01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:50,199
thing, and we were just like
I had a meeting with everybody and said,

1320
01:34:50,279 --> 01:34:54,560
listen, everybody, I don't know
what's going to happen. The only

1321
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:58,399
thing we have to do is to
protect the little speech job. Ye,

1322
01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:01,319
Like I don't care about like myself, my family, your family, whatever.

1323
01:35:01,399 --> 01:35:04,119
Like if we protect a little speech
shop, we'll all have a job

1324
01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:10,840
when whatever happens happens. And we
had a couple of people that we had

1325
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:15,720
to lay off, but like they
all got paid because we did it appropriately

1326
01:35:15,319 --> 01:35:18,720
and they stayed home and they got
paid and did whatever their thing and stuff

1327
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:23,159
that they came back and they've been
with us every since. So like yeah,

1328
01:35:23,279 --> 01:35:26,520
it's like I think that it's you
have the type of people though that

1329
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:30,199
almost take a little bit of ownership. They do like all our guys because

1330
01:35:30,239 --> 01:35:35,319
I think even that stuff, like
I've jokingly said, over there your fabricators

1331
01:35:35,319 --> 01:35:38,840
and stuff, they're artists. Yeah, I've seen the work they've done.

1332
01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:43,199
I've seen it. And too,
that's a lot of yourself and a lot

1333
01:35:43,239 --> 01:35:45,880
of pride in that. And so
you know, hey, it's it's the

1334
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:49,000
little speed shop, but it's Mike
at the Little speech Shop did this,

1335
01:35:49,319 --> 01:35:51,920
yes, or you know what I
mean? Or you know, Liam was

1336
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:56,760
whatever. And I always think that
though that there's a little different there and

1337
01:35:56,840 --> 01:36:00,119
your a higher end yeah, you
know, I mean in terms of the

1338
01:36:00,159 --> 01:36:03,760
work and stuff, it's right,
and like so we're like like just below

1339
01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:09,199
dealership pricing, but like at the
same time, we offer so many different

1340
01:36:09,279 --> 01:36:12,000
aspects of that. Like you can
come in and like you can get the

1341
01:36:12,079 --> 01:36:15,960
full circle of everything you pain protection
film or your car workd on or just

1342
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:20,439
an oil change on anything, and
then just go from there. But like,

1343
01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:24,239
yeah, and like everybody just knows, like hey, we have to

1344
01:36:24,359 --> 01:36:26,600
like grind it out once in a
while, we just have to, like

1345
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:30,840
if if it's in the middle of
winter, and maybe all the BMW's and

1346
01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:32,520
porches that everybody likes to work on, they're all trained in. They come

1347
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:36,399
out of the dealerships like to work
on. But there's nothing but Chevy trucks

1348
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:40,880
and box vans. That's what we're
doing. That's what we're doing. It's

1349
01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:44,319
like we gotta do and then it'll
all come back in the spring, hopefully

1350
01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:48,199
like wood like that's hopefully what comes
back. But we try. Man,

1351
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:51,880
I love watching this because I've seen
it over and you've got to come over

1352
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:55,760
and see that car that were Did
you see the Bronco recently? Remember the

1353
01:36:55,840 --> 01:37:00,920
Bronco that we've been it's almost ready
to get delivered finally really single nut and

1354
01:37:00,079 --> 01:37:05,680
bolt screw thing has been like rebuilt
and brand new and all this other stuff.

1355
01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:10,399
And then we have remember that like
from years ago, that BMW that

1356
01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:13,439
I had on the jig, Yes, I cut it off the jig recently

1357
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:16,800
you did ground yes, yes,
So this was like you were taking a

1358
01:37:17,039 --> 01:37:21,600
modern day. I ended up putting
it in a body. But it's really

1359
01:37:23,159 --> 01:37:28,199
complicated. But like I took a
modern BMW. Yeah, and I took

1360
01:37:28,279 --> 01:37:32,399
an old BMW from seventy three?
Was it the frame? So I took

1361
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:38,920
the front and rear subframe and engine
and drivetrain off of modern BMW and then

1362
01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:43,640
cut it off, and I made
a jig right to hold this car,

1363
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:45,319
and then I took the body off
through the bodyway from the new one,

1364
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:48,119
and then took the old car and
put it on there, and then cut

1365
01:37:48,159 --> 01:37:55,199
it all apart and then shortened it
shortened the frame and chassis. Do you

1366
01:37:55,239 --> 01:37:58,359
realize fit in there? People were
like, how do you do? People

1367
01:37:58,399 --> 01:38:00,199
don't understand that. They don't,
But like if you get under there and

1368
01:38:00,279 --> 01:38:02,399
you look, like now the car
is up on the lift and you can

1369
01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:04,720
like look around and you can roll
the car around and stuff, and you

1370
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:08,560
look around it and you're just like, whoa, this is insane. I'm

1371
01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:13,439
like, this has been a passion
project for you, was a passion project

1372
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:17,479
between it's mainly for It's mainly for
me, but it's for like my customer,

1373
01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:19,800
which I was like, hey,
we've done a couple of the car.

1374
01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:21,720
Remember the white nine to eleven.
Yes, I did that car for

1375
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:26,720
him that was him, Yes,
okay, and then another car as well,

1376
01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:30,399
and then yeah, this is a
thing that we were actually sitting at

1377
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:34,039
breakfast one day and I was like, I got an idea, what do

1378
01:38:34,079 --> 01:38:38,520
you think about this? And he
was like, all right, let's do

1379
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:41,239
it. I'm like, okay,
Like it's gonna take a lot to Danny

1380
01:38:41,279 --> 01:38:46,159
that guy could afford to say,
ask how much. We've never talked about

1381
01:38:46,199 --> 01:38:49,560
price. Yes, that's the best. And that's the only thing too,

1382
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:55,439
is like if you go to a
restaurant and they don't list the prices and

1383
01:38:55,560 --> 01:39:02,520
you're nervous leave, well, just
world service. Everything's out there and this

1384
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:05,720
is a very like small niche part
of the business. The other thing that

1385
01:39:05,800 --> 01:39:10,640
we do with especially the thing with
the Bronco is like that's out of it.

1386
01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:15,680
What are you doing with it?
We took like a early seventies Bronco

1387
01:39:16,600 --> 01:39:23,600
that was a complete disaster basket case, and we've revitalized it and put like

1388
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:27,479
a Mustang car engine and done all
this other stuff. It Wow and like

1389
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:31,039
it's digital, Like we've done every
single wire that goes to everything and every

1390
01:39:31,199 --> 01:39:35,199
nut bolt. And this is for
somebody in Atlanta and Atlanta Wow, how

1391
01:39:35,239 --> 01:39:43,159
did they find you through a friend? Wow? Yeah? About and they're

1392
01:39:43,279 --> 01:39:45,479
like can you do this? I'm
like yeah, And like they're like can

1393
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:48,479
you do it in a couple of
years, I'm like sure. And then

1394
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:51,640
it's been like three years now,
like a little more than three years.

1395
01:39:53,119 --> 01:39:56,119
But we're just like you got to
you gotta come and see it. Like,

1396
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:59,560
were you document any of this stuff? In terms of TV shows?

1397
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:01,760
You can because the next fast and
loud or whatever. You know, it

1398
01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:04,960
would be so fun. I know, I look at those shows. You

1399
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:09,159
guys are a joke. Yeah,
you look like you did this at the

1400
01:40:09,239 --> 01:40:12,880
whole thing in thirty minutes. Like
there's no way, there's like face years.

1401
01:40:13,079 --> 01:40:15,560
They try to make it sound like
that they do. I couldn't imagine,

1402
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,520
like we need just done in a
month, man, because we're going

1403
01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:23,239
to auction bullshit. That happened,
Well that happened, like that crazy shit

1404
01:40:23,359 --> 01:40:27,640
happened with Netflix. Yes, yeah, yeah Flix show right, the Drifting

1405
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:31,119
show. Yeah yeah, that was
the stuff that we had to do and

1406
01:40:31,239 --> 01:40:35,359
I was like, dude, I'm
not going to do this again. Was

1407
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:40,159
it was all night all night?
Yeah? Yeah, So we would start

1408
01:40:40,279 --> 01:40:43,239
like well, I mean we had
the they shot this show over at the

1409
01:40:43,319 --> 01:40:46,439
Kodak parking line and one oh four
they closed it all off to the public.

1410
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:49,880
But it was a it was a
drift, just a drift contest.

1411
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:54,159
It was drifting all over the world
because we got in there and slid around

1412
01:40:54,239 --> 01:40:58,640
and yeah, polls and things,
right, your sponsored. We didn't sponsor

1413
01:40:58,720 --> 01:41:01,720
it, but we actually got called
from the producers and they kind of found

1414
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:06,279
us through The producers told all the
contestants and then they looked it up at

1415
01:41:06,319 --> 01:41:11,600
themselves and said, who can we
have help us for a couple hours a

1416
01:41:11,680 --> 01:41:15,119
day, which will like really quickly
turned into you guys have no clue what

1417
01:41:15,239 --> 01:41:17,680
you're doing. Yeah, And it
was all night and it was all nice,

1418
01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:20,880
so we would I was actually there. I actually rented a friend's motor

1419
01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:26,199
home and I think I lived there
for like four I sucked a Kodak in

1420
01:41:26,279 --> 01:41:30,800
a motorhome. Yeah, for like
from like literally four weeks. And we

1421
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:35,840
would start at like three pm and
end at like seven o'clock in the morning.

1422
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:41,039
But that didn't even end there because
everybody would leave at seven o'clock in

1423
01:41:41,039 --> 01:41:43,640
the morning by the time the sun
was up. Everybody would leave, the

1424
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:45,560
contestants to go back to bed and
all this other stuff. And then we

1425
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:48,960
would take the cards that got all
smashed up during the day back to our

1426
01:41:49,039 --> 01:41:53,680
shop and then do whatever we could
to fix them, pull them back straight

1427
01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:56,239
again, and do all this other
stuff. And there were smashed up,

1428
01:41:56,279 --> 01:42:00,399
banged up, patching radiators and all
this stuff, and there was like cars

1429
01:42:00,439 --> 01:42:06,319
from like Japan and Australian right,
which is sometimes slightly Germany, Like yeah,

1430
01:42:06,399 --> 01:42:12,039
yeah, like and like you go
back and you watch you watch it's

1431
01:42:12,039 --> 01:42:15,279
still on Netflix now, but like
hyper Drive, Hyperdrive, you watch it

1432
01:42:15,359 --> 01:42:18,119
now, and I'm like, this
is nothing that. There was one video

1433
01:42:18,239 --> 01:42:23,079
like this guy from Japan had this
like police car and he came up the

1434
01:42:23,159 --> 01:42:26,680
ramp. Remember the tilting level thing, yes, level thing whatever it was.

1435
01:42:27,319 --> 01:42:30,119
He came up and then jumped and
smashed and then went up and they

1436
01:42:30,159 --> 01:42:31,800
filled the whole rest of the episode
and he went back down. That was

1437
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:38,960
two days apart because we had to
fix his car because he was in his

1438
01:42:39,119 --> 01:42:42,159
car, and then we were like
oh oh, and then we had to

1439
01:42:42,279 --> 01:42:45,000
like we actually, you know,
rented a flatbed tow truck from some random

1440
01:42:45,079 --> 01:42:49,880
guy in town. We're like called
and we're like, hey, can we

1441
01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:54,199
rent your tow truck for like a
couple of weeks or like a week or

1442
01:42:54,279 --> 01:42:56,000
something. He's like, yeah,
I don't really use it. I don't

1443
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:58,880
even know how we found the guy. And then we put our logos all

1444
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:01,279
over the tow truck. Yeah,
and we ended up having it for like

1445
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:05,199
four or five weeks. I kept
calling its like, kept calling why in

1446
01:43:05,279 --> 01:43:08,960
his tow truck back and we're like, uh, let's just not answer the

1447
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:16,960
call. I just don't we really
need it? Because yeah, the magic

1448
01:43:17,039 --> 01:43:23,880
of Hollywood. Yeah, I mean
there they have organizations. There has been

1449
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:30,880
two organizational shows you should do it
and funny I want to why would want

1450
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:33,680
to be on TV? No?
But why wouldn't you shoot something on YouTube

1451
01:43:34,359 --> 01:43:39,199
to show before and after? We
could have talked about that or like me,

1452
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:43,359
we should or we can come out. I'm not good on the social

1453
01:43:43,399 --> 01:43:45,439
media like And that's the thing is
people just want to see the before and

1454
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:48,439
after photos. I can show you
that all day long. I have thousands.

1455
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:51,960
What about the process where we job
well? And that's the thing is

1456
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:57,199
that people don't see how much work
it goes into it and all the behind

1457
01:43:57,279 --> 01:44:00,920
the scenes. And you have the
shows of Home at It or Tidying Up

1458
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:06,840
with Marie Kondo, which living a
minimalistic lifestyle is so unrealistic, especially when

1459
01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:12,640
I'm working with most people who have
little kids and everything or the home edit

1460
01:44:12,760 --> 01:44:16,000
they make it look like they do
this room in one day and it's all

1461
01:44:16,119 --> 01:44:19,960
acrylic bands in rainbow order, like
nobody wants to live in a rainbow colored

1462
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:24,279
house. Like, let's be real, but you know what are you talking

1463
01:44:24,319 --> 01:44:27,079
about? That is what people think. And I'm like, no, like

1464
01:44:27,319 --> 01:44:30,840
it needs to work for you,
it needs to be customed to your Yeah,

1465
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:32,960
sure, like every client is different. Well I think that so many

1466
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:36,640
people get persuaded that this is the
way to do it. Yeah, Like

1467
01:44:36,760 --> 01:44:43,760
I had this just as an offshoot, but same thing. There's a series

1468
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:47,640
on Netflix called The Blue Zones and
it's about people who live to be one

1469
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:51,520
hundred right, So why are people
in parts of Italy and these other parts

1470
01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:55,680
of the world living to be one
hundred years old? And I'm watching this

1471
01:44:55,760 --> 01:44:59,479
and I was getting myself madder and
madder matter because I go, somebody's going

1472
01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:02,239
to start selling the Blue Zone diet. But basically all these people do is

1473
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:08,960
walk instead of sitting on their ass. They grew some of their own food,

1474
01:45:09,039 --> 01:45:12,359
They ate mostly vegetables. It's all
the things we already know. It's

1475
01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:15,560
all the ship we already know,
and that you've got to be able to

1476
01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:18,439
put it in your into your own
life right the way it fits for you

1477
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:21,279
and fits you comfortably. But you
know, all of a sudden, just

1478
01:45:21,319 --> 01:45:24,960
because you're putting honey in your tea
doesn't mean you're going to live to be

1479
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:27,520
one hundred. But people would buy
that ship and do that. And I

1480
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:30,920
think it's the same thing with these
organization shows. I'm going to start using

1481
01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:33,319
this system. Well, that system
didn't work for you because it didn't fit

1482
01:45:33,359 --> 01:45:36,000
your personality. And you saw it, you thought, oh, this looks

1483
01:45:36,039 --> 01:45:39,479
great, and you do it for
three months and then you're back to the

1484
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:45,159
same ship by March, and people
love all the bins, Bess, and

1485
01:45:45,319 --> 01:45:50,880
now the bins are just like sitting
in the hallway creating even more clutter dust

1486
01:45:51,279 --> 01:45:57,520
it and I'm like, yeah,
that's the way, that's the way it

1487
01:45:57,640 --> 01:46:00,279
is. All right, We'll close
it out. Thank you, Kevin,

1488
01:46:00,399 --> 01:46:02,760
very nice to see you again,
Laura. Fun to learn all about your

1489
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:08,359
business. Danny for the rats.
I love. I love what Danny gets.

1490
01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:15,479
Hey, Hey, what do I
know? George Dougs for George Soros

1491
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:26,640
is America. I'm Bill Murran.
We'll see you tomorrow. Hold deal,

1492
01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:30,159
didn't know what to do. I'm
trying of TV. Don't do the letter

1493
01:46:30,319 --> 01:46:32,920
to you Dan State
