It's bilified the Bill Moran Podcast, Well, hello, welcome, Thank
you for getting your pawna on. Thank you for telling a friend. That's
how we spread the word about the pirate ship. Laura's here and we just
find out that her birthday's Monday, and Greg's coming in and there's a big
birthday thing going on and I I'll be there. Yeah, I know,
I know, and I'm out now and I wanted to talk about that.
And then just as we're coming on, I'm getting I must have gotten maybe
maybe fifteen long messages from listeners asking about my opinion about the McQuaid situation.
And McQuaid is being sued by a former student for harassment that they said was
swept under the rug. They were called names and bullied and pushed around,
and seen that episode a lot on her Rescue and they're gone, well,
and they're saying to me, well, you know, these are schools for
privileged white kids. What do you say to that was one of the things,
And I go, I'm not going to comment on shit. I had
nothing to do with this kid graduated in twenty twenty two, it is now
twenty twenty four. He is now suing. I don't know what that tells
you. I don't know. I have no idea. I can't say one
way or the other. You can have PTSD from things. I have no
idea. My son went to McQuaid, to me, was the best investment
I made in my child, throwing yes, they were all literally not privilege.
We're all listed there. They were all listed there. You're a mercy
right. I was not. But my boyfriend went to Aquinas and he is
not a privileged Well, what they're saying is you got an opportunity, and
somebody else said, look, new York State. Uh, they can hide
things from New York State and sweep this stuff under the rug. Well,
let me bring something to your attention, folks. Nobody knew about what was
happening in Wayne County where kid was getting drilled in the ass by a room
stick until it became a criminal complaint. The only way you found out about
that it was a criminal complaint. Therefore you get the information, you can
foil it, and you can get it. We can go back to Hilton
too. How long was that principle in terms of the school around the corner
from me before they said, hey, until it became a criminal complaint.
The school anywhere doesn't want that heat, they don't want that smoke. Baby,
they don't want it. So to say that McCay swept things under the
rug, I can tell you this. My kid went there. I know
a lot of things that went on, and I thought they handled every single
thing during his tenure wonderfully. I couldn't think it was better. I saw
somewhere that somebody said, well, they're just letting boys be boys. I
disagree. I think they're teaching young men. But most of the people.
At a matter of fact, anybody who sits behind a microphone and has talked
about it, I guarantee has never had an experience with that school, has
never paid a tuition for a child to go to that school or Aquinas or
Mercy or anywhere. And so therefore, to me, what they say holds
no water. So if you want to get all swept up and have a
knee jerk reaction to what people say, fine, Look, this is a
private matter that I don't know enough about to really comment on, and I'm
not going to tell someone that they shouldn't have trauma over something. But I
do think that it's curious that it's two years. I think that that's something
that you have to take a little bit into concerner. Have I had concerns
over things that have had into the coinas, Absolutely, when they handle some
things, Yes, But at the end of the day, I'm glad both
of my children have are have graduated, or are currently attending. I'm glad,
I went, yes, I'm pretty sure Carrie's glad, she went,
yep. The rest of our families glad, they went. I mean,
yeah, I was not privileged in any no particular way. We just for
me, my boys went because when I looked at Greece and I saw thirty
five to forty kids in a class, and I saw Aquinas and I saw
fifteen kids to a class, I'm like, my kid's not the greatest student.
And I figure with fifteen, he's going to be more noticeable than forty
unless he's causing a ruckus, which he's not gonna do because he could get
his ass beat by me if he does. I'll just say one other thing,
since you brought it up. My kids were in the Pittsford district,
considered a fantastic district. I saw this one particular kid who just graduated college
as a student athlete. I saw him getting things like, dad, don't
worry about at Jordan Handlon and tomorrow you got a's. He got a's,
he got ace and I go. I used to say to his mother all
the time, the margins need to be tightened on this guy, and McQuaid
will do that. And the amount of work that he had was incredible.
I can't say that the work was any harder, but the amount of it
I know by talking to other parents was significantly more, significantly more. To
the point, it's a prep school. I think I think I prepared had
more for colle I mean, yes, I never thought until last year Sam
was going to go to college. I just figured he'd go get a job,
which is fine, yep, but he's like, I'm ready to go,
and I mean going to Aquinas his grades from Greece elementary school to middle
school to high school they went up. Yeah, senior, not so much
senior, but you know, good education is so important. But like there's
going to be bullying no matter where you are, and it's learning, you
know, what's the lines with that? But going to Wane like family,
it's right year three and five, I am or the college bully. Yet
my whole family went to Webster except for me, you loved in the exact
same grade. One of the things that I still struggle with was because I
graduated high school in two thousand and three, was computer technology, because Webster
learned that Webster had computer ad classes in Wayne Dinner. And then when I
went to college, I felt like I was so far behind really my peers,
because I didn't know anything about technology and still like I'm in that age
bracket that I should understand it. I hate it's changed. It's changed trans
since I went. I mean just I would I was. I stuck with
band just because I can't draw. For shit, I was not gonna do.
He comes home, I think I'm gonna do photography next year. If
I had to take art, I would have loved photography. Sure, you
would have just the things that they have there. That the photography they have,
printing and suff like that. I get the I I know the idea
of and probably excuse me for saying it this way. McQuaid, more than
in Mercy, more than other private schools, seen as elitist because it's there's
no it's all boys, and then I whatever, you know it, You
know it too well, that's why there's no stairs can fly. And then
Bishop Kearney. Bishop Carney tried to recruit me for soccer growing up. Huh,
but my mom couldn't couldn't afford. Yeah, but there's scholarships and things
whatever. But yeah, but bullying is going to happen no matter. Well
what I was gonna say. It's one of the things I always liked about
McQuaid was there was no trying to impress a girl, right be you know,
making fun of someone to impress a girl at least in school it was
academic learning. Was there a competition, Yeah, it's it's testosterone, it's
boys. Shit goes on. I can tell you that something happened with my
son and it was not something that I would be very proud of. And
McQuaid called and said, let us handle it, and I said okay,
and he had what their version of detention they called it. It's not it's
called justice under God. And you don't sit in a room and write or
do anything. You actually work. You have to set up assemblies, break
stuff down. There are jobs and you're working the entire time. And I
thought that was great, And I said to his mother, he's not in
trouble when he gets home because it's being handled. So that's what got him
into McCarthy. Huh yeah, yeah, maybe setting up chairs, breaking down
chairs, doing all that stuff. Speaking of your birthday on Monday, Greg's
gonna be in here in a little while. There's a big party and it's
open to everybody. Saturday Night, I said it wrong in a video I
did. But it's Saturday Night an Iron Smoke Distillery with trist as the band,
and it is a fundraiser for autism up. I have some concerns about
this a little bit, and I talked to Kevin about it earlier today and
it has nothing to do with anything. It's more logistics and things like that.
But I'm getting the impression, at least from you, that Greg is
looking to be roasted a little bit. I don't know why that. I
just kind of it was a message that I got. He didn't come out
and say it, but he kind of implied it a little bit when I
started being the I am, yeah, and I don't think he discarded it.
Okay, So let me just say that Tom Brady roast fantastic. Now
everybody thinks they can roast. We've mentioned on this podcast that Greg wants to
be roasted a little bit, but haven't said it a lot. I have
people emailing me roast jokes that they want me to throw in, and some
of them are so fucking mean and horrible. I wouldn't say them. Do
they know, Greg? I might know a little bit like this one says
your employees must get sick of hearing you utter the phrase as a former defensive
back every morning after a Bill's loss. I mean, you don't hear Tom
Ferris breaking down film of your commercials telling your employees as a former hair guy.
I like that. That's not mean, that's that's that's more a shot
at Tom. Okay, I think Tom can take it. Greg. If
every day is your birthday, then every day must also be Tom Ferriss having
to clean up after a parade. Is that funny? That's very funny?
Okay, all right. I don't think even Connors and Ferris would advertise everywhere
until I saw Connors and Ferris badge on the wreckage of Steve Barnes plane.
Yeah. Maybe it's so uncomfortable, that's deep, but that's funny. Yeah.
In a roast setting, a proper roast setting, that's very fun I
understand that this is like an autism on fundraiser. It's not a com I'm
saying, in a normal setting, that's very funny. If we were doing
the roast of Greg Connors all night long, that would play if it was
all Remember the scene when OJ got off and Robert Kardashian was standing right next
to him. It must have felt real good. Watching the trial with Jim
Kelly when he nudged you and said, that'll be us someday. That's funny.
Yeah, I like that I like that. I think Greg would like
that too. Greg. Your mom says family members try speaking to you and
Irish, but you only hear them in Italian. I think it was the
other way to round, but which makes your clients lives difficult when they hear
crickets in the court while you're hearing chiching. That's another one that I go.
I would never knew Danny had these kind of writings. You know this
is him? Shut up? Yes these are Dan, Yes, yes,
yes, So I wanted to forgot here because some of them. I go,
oh my god, congrats on your son Luke getting into Alfred. Now
you have to come to Fisher and watch the Saxons lose at least twice.
It must have sucked hearing Terry Paula wants to sell a quarter of the bills
for about the same price he paid four ten years ago. While the price
you offered won't even cover your season tickets in the new stadium. But I
hear the Barnes family might be looking for some help in their personal injury case.
That may be your ticket. Jesus, that's too long. There's something
that I just was like, all right, I can't I wrote the one
that I felt like a dick. Danny just took it to the he took
it to the house, Gronk spiked it, clicked it up, and then
spiked it again. I only wrote the one that I know we can't use.
Yeah, and I said it to Greg because I want, because I'm
a dick and it's how I am. Are there people off subject I don't
talk about. Yes, yeah, there are, there are. And actually
there was someone in this at this table, not me, wrote a really
great, great roast joke for someone who's off limits. So so good,
so good. Well, I got all right. I wasn't gonna use any
and Danny's really because I thought that someone them hit too hard. And I'm
not sure the first Barnes one it's not for that, it's not for that.
But a plain one was my favorite. I don't know who's writing for
Danny. It must be Beth. He wrote some good stuff. He writes
some good stuff. Maybe he can use him in the Times of Wayne County
as the training camp pre you. I don't know, but I get.
My concern is that it's not really that kind of a setting. So that's
why it was dark with mine. I was trying to keep them a little
bit lighter. I didn't go as dark. I didn't. I didn't bring
murder in any of mind. No, So I, well, well,
I'm excited for Saturday. Saturday will be a lot of fun. You're going
to do your set. Because I had been greg, I think like a
fifteen and the Bangles out of the thirty. Yeah, because I know doors
open at seven. Yeah, I'll be the big guy up front, hackling
bill because I think the band is doing sound check. I was told right
up to right up to their go time, so then I would see this
is where, this is where, Like I always just figured, tell me
where I need to be, and I don't. I don't want to sweat
this stuff. But at the same time, I don't. It's you know,
well, and that's what my group of friends that's coming. I was
like, They're like, what time do I get there? I was like,
I don't know, bill O. If we're pushing a little later,
then I might not skip all. I was gonna skip part of Tyler's game
because it's going to be a ship show anyways. Yeah, but if it's
going to be pushing, I would say go seven, show up by seven
thirty. Yeah, yeah, when is the uh also the the uh Real
Housewives of Webster coming? Oh yeah, really, I'm hearing a lot of
hoops. We getting hoops for what I guess Hooper's going to be in Canada.
Shit, we wouldn't allow her it anyways, Well not that hoop girl.
Kerry started looking at hoops the other day in the store and we were
in one of the stores in Connecticut. She's like like, no, yeah,
come on, I will maybe I'll bust out some hoops. Yes,
the Webster crew will be coming. Okay, all right. Uh messaging regarding
the McQuay situation, how can you not say it's privileged white people? You
know it is, Bill, You just don't want to admit it. I
have I have nothing to admit. I just think if you're sitting behind a
microphone talking about this, you don't know all the facts, and it's people
who have never had an experience with these schools. So they're just projecting their
bias that it's that and that's shitty. And they're the same people that are
gonna bitch about the fact that the news is biased and this is biased,
that you're coming with a bias automatically by saying it's privileged white kids and it
gets swept under the rug. That's biased. Show me any school anywhere,
public or private, that wants to have a lot of smoke because something bad
happened. And there are two instances. We bought them, brought them both
up one and Wayne County went up in North Greece, and neither one of
those wanted or Hilton that was Hilton, excuse me, U still the schools
in North gree but they don't. Nobody wants that smoke. And it's not
like they're trying to sweep it under the rug. These became criminal cases and
they let the law handle it. If this was to that offense. Do
you think McQuaid is the power, No, they don't. They certainly would
bring it. Has a lot of kids from the inner city that just didn't
want to go to the city school district. They have a number of kids
that come in that it would be in the city schools, right, And
I mean, you can't say privileged white kids when you've got what you're saying.
I see what you're saying. All right, Well, we'll take a
moment. There's an ad that has been circulating around social media and I'm curious
to get I guess I already know what Laura's gonna say. She'll be cool
about it. She'll be like, it's fine, he mean prown with me.
But I think that this is an ad that well, we'll get into
the details of it, but it's for Aston Martin the car, but they're
used cars. We'll get to that next, but first, how many of
the Carlson has me very excited because I'm going to go see the hilarious Joe
Dombrowski for the Late Show tomorrow night. Now, the only shows still available

Ol Connors and Paramis had two six to two comp today Cobblestone on Main
at one on nine West Main Street in the village of Webster. If you're
looking for a great spot for date night, it's perfect as intimate dining.
If you're looking for a fun place to hang out with friends or family,
maybe you got some people coming into town, maybe a college graduation or in
a couple of weeks high school graduation. Will they have an upscale bar that's
fantastic. Matter of fact, This Saturday night, May eighteenth, from six
to nine, Lecy and Greg will be performing music right there in the main
area. It's always a lot of fun and they're fantastic. And if you
have an event, let's say you're getting together for I don't know, like
a college graduation dinner. I had my sons at Cobblestone on Maine and it
was spectacular. And here's the best part, hard group of people to please.
Everybody loved the food and the service at Cobblestone on Maine and they're nachos.
They don't get snagy. Don't believe me. Trying for yourself at one
on nine West Main Street in the village of Webster. It's Cobblestone on Maine.
The only movie I can think of where Aston Martin's appear once in a
while is James Bond. Yes, yeah, so that's why I'm playing Skyfall
by Adell. I know that you're playing privileged whit kid music. Well it's
privileged white kid music. We got pretty fancy now, I mean they only
show you can't get into a James Bond film and unless you have a McQuaid,
I d Did you know that you also have to have an Aston Martin
in the parking lot? That's all time, right, you do? That's
right, God forbid. Your parents worked their ass off and tried to give
you the best. Everybody else should just ship all over. That was that
was your privilege. You're an asshole. You suck that. There was you
know, vapes and weed and aquinas, and it was you know, pills
and pills and cocaine at a McQuaid, same missions, just different, just
higher and drugs. What was his drink? Shaken that start? Yes,
shaken. That was a Martini martine shaking us stirt. No dirty Martini shaking
dirty martini was just a Martini. Well, apparently no one went to McQuaid
and knows this. Uh. This is an ad that's been going around for
Aston Martin's newest advertisement for their pre owned cars. It's a print ad and
I will show it to you and I'd like to know what you think of
this. Laura. Okay, oh wow, okay, all right, what
does it say? Laura? Come on? It says Aston Martin's newest advertisement
for pre owned cars. You know you're not the first, but do you
really care? It's a hot chick. It's a hot chick. Yeah.
Get her legs up as she's doing laundry too withal Hi. Yeah. So
this is a this story. By the way, it is fake. Aston
Martin did not produce an ad like this. The ad was identified as a
fake because there's a typo in it. It says pre owed, not pre
owned. Harrison Butker put this one out. I think he might have.
He's the kicker for the Kansases. You get a lot of pushback for his
commencement speech and further investigation review that the image used in the ad was a
Dutch Playboy model from uh or excuse me, Germany. I think she's a
Dutch model, but she was in Playboy Germany twenty twelve. Her name is
Roseanne and I wouldn't even attempt to say her last name, Roseanne Barr.
And the ad is plagiarized by a tagline used by BMW in two thousand and
eight, so both Aston Martin and the Netherlands Playboy sent legal notices to remove
the images associated with the ad immediately. But this is an actual ad,
and Kevin, I'll let you see it, and then you can pass over
to Laura from BMW, and it's kind of the same thing. It's a
hot woman and they say basically to sell a pre owned car. You know
you're not the first, you know you're not the first, but do you
really care? And it's vodka martini shaken vodka martini. Yes, that's right,
that was miss Greg Okay, So this one was an actual ad that
was an actual ad for BMW, actual ad. And then I think there
was a dealership in Canada in Ontario that used men and women kind of the
same premise, same idea, So I mean it kind of a brilliant.
I think it's brilliant marketing too. But let's go like, does it appeal
to the narcissist in like all of us? If it's going to make us
look good or make people notice us, will we do it? Will we
buy it? Will we wear it? Absolutely? Yeah, I think that's
true too. And does this person? So does this sort of take a
human being and put them as a status symbol and remove the human element to
a certain degree. Unfortunately, I think that that's part of humanity. Yeah,
because it kind of makes the person a material thing, you know,
I mean, if you think about it. I'm just saying, like,
take it on a philosophical level. Look, I saw that, I burst
out laughing. I loved it. I thought it was great, and then
I saw I noticed the typo, and I go, I wonder if this
is real? So I started doing some research and I fed out, No,
that's fake, But there was a real ad in eight that BMW it
a little more tasteful, you're not saying, but still a young hot chick,
right, So you're seeing a young hot chick. And I start to
think this because you have to be physically attracted to somebody, but at what
age does physical appearance matters slightly less than some other qualities. I don't know,
Like you're you're recycling, I would be recycling And I say that kind
of tongue and cheek. Are you recycling? I submitted into evidence one Mick
Jagger. Yeah, how many not hot chicks has he been with in the
last thirty years? I don't think any exactly, so it never goes away
from Yeah, no, I think but what age? Just like? Do
more than looks in charge? Yeah? I wouldn't say your first marriage after
your first marriage? So what are you trying to say? You guy isn't
good looking? I think it's husband. Oh, but like to me,
looks don't don't play as important of a role anymore. When I was younger,
like I was more attracted to look yes, but now it's like you
have to be you got to have something else, have to Yeah, when
has when has attraction been reversed? Looked hot until they open their mouth?
You ever have that? Yeah? All the twenty seven year olds I dated
last year? Oh you dated? You dated? I thought you just made
out with them? Well yeah, I mean that I hung out with for
a couple of weeks, so they were hot until they opened their mouth and
then they were just kind of dumb, dumb, wasted time. Yeah,
so they were fun to ride around in, they were fun to go out.
Yeah, it was fun to get Martin. But then, you know,
at least used cars come with a lemon law, though they don't have
that new personal anymore. You know, you got to be physically attracted to
someone. I think that at any age you do, there's got to be
physical attraction. But what other qualities do you want? Can you give me
like three? Oh yeah, like uh I have a funny story about that.
But like a caring heart, like you care more about others than yourself
is like my number one thing. How do you would you even prove that?
Though? Uh So that's why I say, like Madi actually date Joe
Is. He works for the Inner City Rec Center. He manages one of
the youth centers, and randomly he told me about how before he went to
work that day, he went and bought some stuff for one of the kids
whose birthday is it was that was homeless and it was just like that small
act of like that, Oh yeah I was that day. I was like,
oh, you're the story. But then humor playfulness, like I need
someone to send you humor. Yeah, adventurous, adventurous, like what's adventurous
for you? Willing to do? Wondering beyond my voyeurism? Like beyond my
voyeurism? No, but like will you go for a hike with me?
Yeah? And then and then what baged me at the top of the mountain?
Absolutely, but just have that sense of, hey, let's let's go
away this weekend. I don't care where we go, but like, let's
just go for a weekend. We don't have plans, Yeah, because I
would, I would say I get what you're saying, Like I have like
independent people who are strong, intelligent, they have to have a sense of
humor. And I like people who can just kind of roll with things.
Everything's not too serious. We have a little bit of fun. There's nothing
too too bad there. Uh So what are what qualities would you be willing
to give up to be with a hotter person? Is there any one of
the three that you could drop to be with a hotter person? Of those
three? Yeah, well there be any one of them? No? No,
because I'm thinking that maybe BMW was really onto something. Because when you
buy a car, like I love this car. It's got everything I want,
except it's not an automatic. It's a standard you know what I'm saying.
Right, So this chick is or this guy is so perfect in so
many ways, but you know their sense of humor is a little weak.
But you know what, I can make up for that. I can live
with that. And like, it's just like buying a car. I mean,
I go, so we could say that this ad is sexist or rude
or whatever, and they've done it with men as well, right, you
know somebody else has been there. It's a good way to look at it.
And at the same time, I go, you kind of like buying
a car when you're picking a person. And it's funny dating when you're you
know, twenty, even if you go by who's hot, Yeah, that
does not mean that they will age. Well, oh that's true too,
that's true too. So dating eater high gride dating later in life, Like
you see someone at forty, like you know, okay, that man's going
to age while compared to dating when you're twenty. Right, I love this
car. It's everything I want, the color of the horsepower, the gas
mileage. But it's standard out automatic. I'll take it. Anyway, you
know what I mean, it's the same thing. That's why I think these
ads are so perfect. And I know they're get They got a lot of
pushback when they dropped the BMW one and O eight, but I go,
it's a it's a perfect ad because it picking a car is sort of like
picking a person in a way, and you're not always going to get the
person. People people fluctuary brands all the time. What do they do?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So I think it's
genius for a car. Yeah, to marketed it is show greg the one,
the Aston Martin one is fake and they're actually being sued whoever created that
ad by Playboy because that's a German Playboy model. She's from the No So
the Netherlands Playboy is suing as well as I think Ashton Martin is suing because
they did not create that ad. But in two thousand and eight, BMW
did a very similar ad and it's right there, and that was an ad
that I did. It made me laugh because I go, I could see
and there were a lot of people saying, oh, this is sexist,
this is rude, and I was just proving that, you know what,
dating and finding a partner. Is kind of like buying a car. You
know it looks hot, but what's under the hood? Greg? How many
horsepower am I dealing with? How many miles are on it? How many
owners? You know you're not the first, yes, oh for used cars,
for used cars, so it's for their used car. But the picture
and everything, he's so provocative. Of course it's a woman, so it's
going it's yeah, you know, you're not a picture of a woman.
You're not as provocative as that. That yes, the one that yeah.
No, I have never really been interested in Austin Martin's but I am now
right And BMW did the same thing they do. So it's a woman going,
what do you really care? She's willing to spend the night with you.
Do you really care? You want to get in this car? You
do really care? And then I so I was just saying, what qualities
are you looking for and what would you give up to have a hotter person?
Or are you willing to do that? And same thing with a car.
You want this certain car, you want this model? Would you get
in it? But that was outside I should stay outside. I just say
it. That Aston Martin ad was everywhere. It was all over everything,
and I thought, this isn't interesting. I saw a lot of comments,
people saying this is a bad, bad ad, bad representation, and I
went, hang on, it's fake yeh BMW did it for real? And
when you actually think about it, picking a person is like picking a car.
You know, sometimes they look great until you look under the hood and
go, whoa, no, thank you. I need a little more intelligence,
a little more horsepower than that, a little more brain cells. Yeah,
somebody with a good sense of humor something like that. Yeah. I
mean, well we I mean we all have seen the crazy meter for the
guys, right crazy. Yeah, yeah, I got to ride the line,
you know. And so it's it's the same thing, same thing.
Yeah, you know what we're talking about. You don't. Oh, it's
Jimmy Danny's book. I'll explain it real quick. But to answer your question,
I mean, for me, it's the entirety of the person, because
I think you can have someone who's beautiful on the outside and then they have
what you need on the inside as well. Right now, you can't settle
for that. I mean, if that's what you want in someone, you
can't settle. You shouldn't settle right, you know people do, and then
you know what happens after a while, You're going down the road in that
car and you go, I really want to get out of this car.
This car no longer works for me to paint in the ass. It's a
gas guzzler. It's really sucking up all my money. It's in the shop
every once in a while. I can't drive it when I want to.
You know, it doesn't do well on back roads. Need just need a
newer model. It just needs a newer model, new updated mod just needs
something with a little more a little more modern technology. So basically, what
this is saying that is the basis of anxiety. Come on for anxiety.
I haven't seen that one, but I've heard that no woman is single,
sane and hot. That's true. That is true. No woman is single,
sane and hot. That's what the scale is. That's what that scale
says. The hot. Yeah, yeah, you be egal parts hot,
the egle parts crazy of every woman there at least. Actually, it was
like if you're over the age of thirty, yes, I was like,
then there was the age part and if you're over the age of thirty to
be single attractive and saying was it was not yeah right, Yeah, No,
I don't necessarily subscribe to that because if you're have you, if you've
been in a long term relationship, we've been in a relationship, and you're
older and you're attractive. I like to think that it's you know, you
kind of get a better sense of what it is that you want or what
you don't want, and then you understand better so you can pick better.
Right about this today, what were you saying? Because Joe had said,
like, you know, I wish I would have had the past ten years
with you. I was like, I wasn't that person ten years ago.
He was like he was a minor then. No, I was like I
needed to go through my divorce and I needed my two and a half years
of being single to get to where I want to be in life to be
able to put that forward, like I think I put the best version of
me out there. So yeah, but he says that I'm not saying.
He's like, yeah, you're a little crazy. Got a little crazy,
is okay. But the hearings we did, we asked if anybody I know
I know. I remember we're asking her if because she's coming on Saturday night
over to Iron Small and go. She said that ego parts crazy and the
ego parts crazy. I said to her, she's bringing a whole bunch of
friends, and I said, how many. Who's got the biggest hoops?
Are they hoopy? She said, the biggest hoop girl is going to be
out of town hoop honey? Oh? Is that the one that went to
Stephanie's No, Like, I haven't really talked to No. Her hoops are
so big. The boy do you got to walk around? Yeah? Yeah?
Like, yeah, you don't want to be before get completely screwed over
with that one. Yeah, I really I think as you get older,
you know, you have your boxes. Oh, by the way, Kevin,
I didn't meet anybody on that next day. Remember you said out the
next day, Grey's gonna come back. He's gonna tell us he met somebody
and he's gonna be just that's right. Remember, I just wanted to let
you know that that didn't happen. What was this now, Well we remember
where Stephanie was in here that night? She met Mike the next day,
Yeah said, maybe well this year, maybe a little Gregg's chance, And
you know why went home. Greg's got Greg's got a bad attitude, his
anxieties, girl love, He's not true. What you want to know that
you gotta not look. I don't think i'm looking. I don't think i'm
I don't I don't even know what the fuck I'm doing right now other than
trying to have a good time, enjoying my life, living every day like
every day like is my birthday? Yes, but you get to you know
what your boxes are? Well, do you get you know your boxes?
You know what you don't like? Yes. Some of the most important things
I've learned last ten years is what I don't want right it's I and I
think that even goes with cars. And there was a little more roomy,
a little more comfortable. I like the automatic. If I could have paddle
shift, I like that. I like things where I can, you know,
control the vollume. This year, having maintenance absolutely breag a card.
It might just be tend to get into a minivan, Greg little chovey,
your sick never hurt nobody. You know. It's funny the car that I
drove tonight is not a minivan. I would think it's not It's not the
minivan. No, is it something else? It spits my personality it's like
it's like the women then the boxes. I checked for a little wind.
Is it convertible? It is? Yeah? Does your hair fail like the
h is Italian? Yeah, it's like the pins that will kill. I
was gonna say the eighteenth fin and O'll kill. Your hair is floating in
it? You pull right up? Got it? That's right. I like
that car. It's passionate, it's got a little adrenaline going yeah, right,
and gets tisty. You can get feisty a little bit, right,
Ken. Yeah. I feel like when we were talking about what three qualities
I would want, you would have the same. For one, I was
like, I need adventurous. I need like, let's go for a hike.
Let's go away this weekend. Greg doesn't hike to get away? Yeah,
yeah, Greg wants to get away to a beach. Greg hike to
the bar and around. That's true. I will do that too. But
you like to travel, I do, yeah, And that's like traveling is
super important to me. Yeah. Well, we share the same birth then
there should be a lot of commonality there, right, that's true, of
course, tours butt heads. Well, we're both subborn, so we're both
right. Yes, it's very interesting. All right, we'll take a moment.
I'm not sure I think Danny is coming. I was going to hold
off on any bill stuff with the schedule because I know he had some thoughts
too me. We went through it a little bit last night, but we
haven't asked Laura segment and people did write in. I asked for text messages
or emails, and we have questions for Laura and everybody can comment on them

like later out of the night. That's kinda be careful because yeah, you
know, I didn't even think of it. I did not think Michael Jackson
and Jesus juice. So you know, it's all good, it's all good
there. I was excited for this now because I really wasn't sure what what
my role was supposed to be, not as an MC, because a lot
of times as an MC, you just go up, you introduce people,
maybe say a few things, and move on. But I think that I
think I'm gonna whip out. I'm gonna dust some ship off. I'm coming
dressed for this party. I'm coming dress birthday. Yeah. Yeah, I'm

this will be a lot of fun. I'm very excited. Trist is a
really popular band. They have a big following in the area and they're fantastic
and come on out, let's get a birthday drink and let's celebrate. And
last Saturday we did the gall you were missed? Yeah and bother where did
that go? It was great. They do such a great job and it
was fantastic and the messaging that they had and the services they continue to provide,
not just for for the kids or families that are affected with autism,
but I mean the whole the whole caregiver community. And the Galla was fantastic.
It was a great time, great night, and now this weekend it's
everybody who didn't necessarily know about the gala or couldn't afford to go to the
galla, now you can go. It's ten dollars donation. That's it.
Where your jeans, bring your cowboy boots. We were a cowboy hat or
whatever you want. It's low key. It's it's just lowy. It's a
very casual. Everyone's like reressed up. I'm wearing jeans. I'm wearing jeans
and a T shirt. I'm not I'm coming. I'm coming. I might
even have a baseball hat. I'm going to make this like it's a set.
This is going to be a warm up for a set for me.
I'm gonna I'm gonna use it. I'm gonna write new material. I have
new materials. I had people messaging me that were at the gala. Oh
really, Yeah, They're like, why are you here because I was supposed
to go one. Yeah. It was great. That is one of my
favorite events of the year in terms of Gallows because when you see the production
they put on in terms of like the families and the people that are affected,
and what they provide in terms of services, you can't get anything more
motivating and inspiring that's local and stays local, right, I mean that's true.
You have the Equi Center, you know, we did the Equi Center
fundraiser, and they provide all the care for people that have are not to
stay on the spectrum, but have all special needs. And that's great because
they're local. They're in mended it's the Horse Farm or the Very Horse Ranch,
and that's phenomenal. Charlie Fox is the chair of the board for that
and Deb's part of that. So when you see get organizations like this that
are local and you know, the money stays local and provide services to the
local community, it truly does enhance the entire community. I mean, in
touches enhance the entire community, which is fantastic. And Autism up was one
that there was not a lot of services at all anywhere when these moms were
kind of getting together and trying to figure things out, and it came from
I guess you could call it a coffee clutch to what it is now.
And they did a lot of things and I one of my boys took social
classes there, you know, how to and now he's a waiter, and
so those were things that he struggled with on the spectrum. And I think
that they do a lot of great work and they are modeled around the country.
Now, yeah, you know, I mean Sarah and Lisa. It
was starting the coffee shop with moms that just want didn't know how to handle
was to do things with their kids, and they tried to use best practice.
I think the problem that they face now is aging out. Well,
what happens with kids when they get older. So these moms are really trying
to figure that out. And I think some of the moms that had started
this, you know no longer may not even live in the area. Yeah,
I think there's one or two that don't live in there. But actually
the messaging at the Gallas Saturday night was exactly that. It's like, you
know, now, one of the women's son I think is twenty four,
right, and and the theme was you know, when they get to a
certain agent might have been twenty where they they you can't spill out. Tracy
Taylor the age, I don't care. I don't remember. The woman's name
was, Yeah, I think she was blowing was one of because she was
one of the founders. That's yeah, okay, Yeah. Tracy's son I
think does really well. He's got his at twenty four, just took his
first out of town trip. Yeah. And she was telling me because she
is on how I'm on the board for epilepsy. She's on the committee with
me, and so her and I have talked a lot about, like,
you know, the cross paths of autism and having epilepsy. Ah, I
got you, yeah, sort of the yeh inner circle that vent diagram.
And her remarks are really eye opening because she's like, you know, they
get to an age where they they age out of school even with their needs,
and she's like, you know what happens when the school bus stops coming
together and it stops coming by. And I was just like, you know,
holy shit, you're right. You know those are things. I mean,
I don't think of it because I'm not in it, but they are.
And one of the things that one of the challenges that they talked about
was getting programming and services to help that transition because that's so important because now
these kids are getting older and it doesn't stop. The needs don't stop because
you're year. I realized that Roberts Wesley and has something called the Bell Program,
which teaches kids people on the spectrum survive like I was going to say
survival skills, and I don't think that's really the accurate term, but skills
that they'll need everyday life skills, that sort of thing. And there were
graduates at the graduation of that program, and I think it's a two year
program they have over there. So interestingly I learned at my board meeting last
week for ALFRED is that they have special programming or special counselors to help with
kids that are in our engineering programs, and RIT has one as well,
because a lot of kids that are in engineering and have that acuity and that
superior intellect or within the spectrum, but then they have other sensory needs that
most kids don't have. And before they were just like, you know,
what's wrong with you? But we we at the university are providing services for
pet you know, students that fit into that spectrum just as well as they
do it. RIT, which didn't exist five years ago, not at all.
I have a friend who's the head of the psychology department at Saint John
Fisher and he works with a lot of kids on the spectrum and has even
written a book about some you know, some practices to help kids. And
he thinks that autism is really part of evolution and that you're seeing some brilliant
minds, right, minds that are coming up with things as we evolve further
along. It's just it's a theory, right, Yeah. Who has said
I'm I'm on the specrum. Yeah, right, I mean, and it's
getting more. It's getting diagnosed later in life. I guess. Excester in
law got diagnosed at forty one last year. She's a librarian, and he
went, oh, that's why she's so well. Well yeah, but it
was like, oh, well obvious. It's sort of obvious to me.
But yeah, it's just it's that continuing lifelong skill. I almost feel like,
you know, labels, a lot of times they help get services when
you're young. Sometimes I also see them as a way to putting you in
that pocket. But at the same time, if it helps people be a
little more patient and kind to you and give you a chance, you start
to see the person for what they who they are, and not so much
of why they act this way as kids. Like people would look at my
younger son and be like, he's wild, and I was like, he's
diagnosed ADHD almost odd oppositional defiance disorder. Like he's wild, but he has
diagnosis and he's on medicine now. So and that's you know, from when
we grew up. You know, if you're pretty nine teen eighty five again
going back to the eighty five number. Uh, it's mindfulness, right,
It's a matter of now understanding and appreciating and just being more patient, under
in kind and being mindful that just because something doesn't it just because they may
look like you but they don't act like you, right, you know,
don't be intolerant to it, right, and you know, and then teenage
kids are just hard on it. I mean you could be you know,
not within it or normal and you get picked on and ricked on cours that
have those noticeable differences or even worse, and it affects them even more because
they have a lot I don't remember. And I was a kid who loved
ball busting, but when there were kids, but when they were but it
was with people that were equal, Ina, do you understand what I'm saying,
Like when there were kids that seem like they a they didn't really like
that or they didn't tolerate it, we didn't mess with them. And the
kids that were clearly on the spectrum or weren't special classes, you didn't pick
on them. It also looked true for them. But to think about the
thing about because there are two or three kids in Hornell when I was in
school that were really smart that would like rip on me. They were smarter,
I mean, they were uber smart people and I wasn't and so they
used to love to make fun of me. Well I would then get after
them. Well now that I've now that I'm older and I get exposed to
this. They were on the spectrum, yes, and I was not a
nice kid necessarily. They weren't always nice to me. But I should have
known better. I mean, so when you but well, my point was
like with my kids is you know in their mom who was who was a
special ed teacher. She always makes them aware of these things just because you
can't see it. She can like look at someone and how they stand and
be like, well that person is whatever, and so I think I think
today's society is much more educated and aware. I mean, last month was
February was Autism Awareness Month, and it's just talking about it like now.
So when you see it, people that can listen will actually kind of have
a little more patients are a little more understanding. That goes a long way.
We're talking to someone who might have some of those special needs, and
but just being kind and nice and polite to them, just saying hello,
ask them how they're doing, right, I mean, you know, because
a lot of times are isolated and sort of like you see that that's a
little weird guy or whatever, but it's someone who could have been brilliant and
love You would love talking to them and learn things from them and this sort
of thing. But we isolate and don't and avoid. And it's different when
it's not a physical disability. Yes, like if you sort of along that
lines, if you see someone with Down syndrome, like you right, you
know it's right, yeah, visible, and so you sort of treat them
with a little more kindness. You can't tell when someone has autism or even
anxiety like anything. I mean, Nie, why can they usually walk around
with the gray boot couldn't get it out. The greatest bottle. H niece
has tourettes, and you think that tourette says like the vocal texts and every
she has raised. She is a beautiful seventeen year old who punches holes in
her walls like wow, yeah in the day time, but she doesn't like
people don't understand, like it's a true disability. I learned a new term
last Saturday night as well, what's a neuro deficient. I'd never heard that
term before, neuro deficient And that's part of the you know, I guess
moving away from the term autism spectrum and the neuro deficiency and I was just
like, oh, you know what, that makes it even more understanding.
And you know, the sensory needs, you know, those are things that
that you can't you know. Jennifer helps out and you see the kids,
her friend's kids, and they all look like normal kids, right, but
they have neural deficiencies and they have sensory and you can't look at somebody and
know that no, And so most people and this is where people of our
generation and older have that intolerance, you know, and then you suck it
up and they deal with it and all that. It's like, well,
you know, how about being a little more understanding. There's a book,
Oh God, I forget the name of it. But this guy had was
on the spectrum but obviously not diagnosed early on. And this is where I
always I always worry a little bit sometimes when we start like classifying or trying
to sometimes fix some things. I think tolerance needs to be taught. I
think the sensory stuff is really good. I think that the spectrum is a
spectrum that you can be on it and at one level, and you could
be on it at another, and we have different things. But this was
what was interesting to me is this kid's parents were both professors at MIT,
but they were like drinkers and kind of not, you know, a little
absent from life. And he took off and lived in the woods for a
while, and he would break into the MIT labs using his dad's card and
invent all kinds of things. So the band April No, it's like that,
but the band April Wine, this is it's all true. April Wine
was coming around and they needed somebody who could fix amps and stuff. So
this guy loved doing that and he wound up fixing amps and they wound up
going down and rehearsing for a big tour and an airplane hangar in Long Island,
and right after him was Kiss coming in. So Kiss comes in and
this guy's fixing stuff and some of the guys and Kiss ask him, well,
can you do this? So he makes the guitars that shoot off,
like the sparks and the flames and all that shit, and he's making all
this money. He would go on tour with them, and then when there
was no tour, he was making no money. And it was just this
brilliance that he had that was never stifled, you know what I mean.
And he was allowed to explore at his own level and his own rate.
And I don't think anybody's trying to discourage anyone, but I sometimes feel like,
you know, water, I'll seek its own level. There's a certain
things this guy really had an interest. Let him go and he did amazing
stuff and then went on and later on, uh I was diagnosed and somebody
said to him, hey, you never make eye contact. You don't do
this, and he now had at last I knew he had one of the
biggest import dealerships used car dealerships in the northeast, and he would I know,
Aston Martin, but he would rebuild. He could fix all the engines
and stuff. And he wound up building and building and making a ton of
money and doing that sort of thing. Er keyword of tolerance is is so
important. But every single person to learn something, you just got to,
you know, you let him go and do that sort of thing. Should
we do well? Do uh tolerance? I have a couple of uh tolerance?

these So I put it out on social media that you were going to be
in That's why I even called. I texted you to make sure that A
you're going to be here and you're okay with this, I'm all right.
So Laura, this person says, I absolutely adore when there is a woman
on the podcast. It's like adding a sprinkle of fairy dust to the usual
banter. Bill has mentioned he's keen on starting an asked Laura segment. Now
here's my burning question. Do names come with built in with a built in
personality manual? I mean, are all Karen's naturally? Karen asked? Are
all Bills just to tad well? Quirky? I'm pondering this because brace yourself.
Both my ex wife and my current on again off again flames share the
moniker Laura, and while they don't resemble each other physically. They share this
uncanny ability to take charge, boss around and occasionally make me question my manhood.
Was a question coming in from yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
okay, okay, I know where you were going. I knew what
he was thinking. Dear Laura, I'm laying it all out. Do you
possess the same traits? They really bother me? Should I wave the white
flag on Laura's and set sails for the shores of gens or Ashley's Helpable fund
Soul and George and SODA's Connor and mended, Well, it's funny because I
was my ex husband's third Laura on the row. Really, yeah, third
Laura in a row. That's always good in case you say the wrong name,
like in a fight, even just even in a fight, Jesus Christ.
I definitely think names have nothing to do with it unless you get into
the like mmmm, like if it ends in like a I don't know,
well, would you Let's say, is there a name of a guy you
would avoid? Do you have a bad experience with a twenty seven year old
Kyle or Kyle's are out or I don't feel like I feel like a Keith
would be a little old school for Yeah, so I don't think generationally.
But a Kyle, Yeah, like a Kyle is going to be fine.
I mean, you have the ones, the all of you guys, Bill
like that, Danny, like those names are they're old and they're new,
like you know. So, but like if you go, if you go
with one of the newer names, then I'm going to say, like an
Olivia, you're gonna feel like they're gonna be a little more entitled. I
would say Mackenzie. I don't disagree with that. Like, when we were
thinking about names for the boys, I wanted it to be simple right now.
I wanted to name you could get outside. It had to be multi
salable so I could go Geordan, goddamn alarm and I didn't. I wanted
to be I could just yell it and and so and will will is my
dad is a legacy name, So it was William. But I didn't want
to call him Bill because I didn't want my dad was Bill. And then
I had a brother, Billy, so we wanted it was like Will or
ultimatelyater on Liam, but I'm like, yeah, he's I don't know,
he's not. He doesn't really like a Liam. He's not a, he's
more of a will. And then with Luke, I just wanted a four
letter name. I wanted it simple. We had Matthew, Mark, and
John. We didn't have Luke. So I was like, I got to
complete it. So I named But I thought about it, and you talk
about so I thought, I'm like, Okay, is there anybody that's named
Luke that I don't like? And everybody that I knew Luke I really liked.
There you go. Now, there are some names that kind of resonate
that the person. You know, if you have a bad experience with somebody
that has a name, you tend to stay away from that. YEA like
Ashley. I always thought it was a hot name until I met somebody Ashley
and she ruined it for me. Ashley, it's sort of a hot name.
It was a hot name. But then I met somebody Ashley and she
wasn't she was attractive, she really pretty faced. She was just big and
uh just got rude and obnoxious. I go, fuck you just ruined an
entire name for my girl. Name was always Lauren. If I ever had
a daughter, it was gonna be Lauren. Lauren, Lauren, Oh,
Lauren, not Laura. Lauren similar and it was for me for a girl,
it was Julia. Really it was Julia. I wanted, uh,
white trash background. My parents like were split before I wasn't even practically born.
My dad wantn't to name was Tom Brady. Yeah, my mom got
fat. Sorry, wow, wow, they don't It's okay. Yeah,
but my dad wanted to name me Laurie and my mom wanted to name me
Laura. And because they were never together when I was born, I went
by Laurie and Laura. Oh yeah, so by both. Wow, depends
on who. Now. I was gonna name jameson Uh, I was gonna
name him Seamus, but I and he probably would have fit as a shamous,
which means Jamison basically. And I don't remember why. And then if
I'm told it would be that I didn't want it, but I think I
did. I don't. I don't know, my memory gets it. Sometimes
I got hit with that men in black stick and I don't remember that whatever
I called the men in black I would just say to George that if there's
a more your name again, they're going to be more a little stuck up,
little stuck up. Contrary to Kevin. It doesn't mean a fucking thing.
No, you're Oero for two or over four. Wear your fucking name.
It's the goddamn person, it's not. The goddamn names were very different,
yes, yes, all right, Uh here's another one, Laura,
fucker him. Yes it was in your opinion, Mark Anthony Ken. A
woman and a man maintain a rock solid friendship while they're both hits to other
people. Here's why, I ask. My wife and this dude, Dave
have been inseparable since they're pimply middle school days, and Dave has his own
misses too. Absolutely. But here's where it gets interesting. She's spilling her
life story to Dave like he's the human equivalent of a Locke diary, leaving
me feeling like the third wheel in our own marriage. I know this because
Dave's dropping uh the sly hints my way, like he's some kind of relationship
yoda, and I'm in dire need of his sage advice. So is this
freaking normal? Or have I stumbled into a sitcom level plot twist where I
may be visiting my ex Dave and our kids dat. Laura, Yeah,
I can't wait you Okay? I think fulheartedly? A man in a female
can be friends, especially if it goes back to their preteen ways. But
this man needs to take his wife to therapy, take his wife to they
because she's not telling him, because they need to go to marriage's therapy together.
Because she's totally holding back on him. She doesn't feel comfortable, So
why is she talking to this guy. She's definitely breaking some boundaries, like
emotional guy is then going to her. Oh my god, I really think
I think a man and a woman can absolutely be friends. But she is
sort of I don't know, she's sort of like playing some weird type of
game and she just needs to be forward with her husband. She's not going
to talk to him in person and be like, do we need to go
to therapy so that whatever you're saying to Dave, you'll say to me.
Yeah, why do you feel more comfortable saying that to Dave than you?
Yeah? Right, there's either there's a trust issue there or there is something
that she doesn't feel comfortable with right or and now from a man's perspective,
yeah, that would bother the well, from a man's perspective. On the
other side, because I have many friends who are women who I have zero
interested in and and so I've had that friendship for years. Some of them
have been for twenty plus years, some of them have been for five or
six years. But I have zero interest in them. But I never felt
like there was a threat to any relationship. But it's not about what I
think. It's about what does the other person think. So if he's feeling
that he's threatened in any way or feels left out, he needs to then
make sure that there is or I think give sage advice and says, you
need to go talk to somebod about us so you can facilitate it. Now
I had to seek out the woman whisperer so you could translate the woman.
I'm calling him the woman whisperer. And who would that be? He's a
personalized dude, Yeah, okay, who's And it was like, okay,
when when somebody said, when a woman says, it's whether it be?
You know, sometimes even at work in terms of figuring out different ways people
communicate, what does it mean? So people says, people say things,
but they don't necessarily what they say isn't what they mean. You have to
figure it out. And when it's a man and a woman, we communicate
so differently that you need to have a different mindset of Okay, when somebody
says this, I'm hearing this, but what are they actually meaning? And
having somebody on the outside looking in translating, I think is very helpful.
Yeah, actual therapy is usually a couple's therapy is usually good if it's helping
the communication, and I think that that's a big thing happen if say the
wife is going to her best friend one name, did we say, Julia,
like and telling Julia, and then Julia is going to the husband.
If the wife is complaining about her husband to someone else, like she should
feel comfortable talking to her husband. So there's definitely there's issues there. So
no matter what gender, it could be her mother that she's talking to.
Like, if there's something, do you think anybody outside of the marriage that
you're taking marital problems to that's a problem within the marriage. There's a difference
between venting and then having someone go in, like getting those nudges towards the
husband. The husband, it's going to make you feel awkward, like threatened.
I'm gonna feel threatened, ye, Like why dude came to me Like,
oh, you know, I'm your I'm the Yoda of your relationship.
Yeah, I'm going to kick the living ship out right now when you're manning
the grill and he's like, hey, it's time to flip those stakes.
That's it, We're done. If I was, I was like, hey,
maybe you should should try this with Beth, or maybe you should maybe
you should you know, like evaborated milk. It really brings out the glow
of it helps those calf muscles to get up tomorrow. Yeah, like you
you know that there are in the air. So Danny made his comment earlier.
I think it went unnoticed to many of us. To many I didn't.
To me, emotional adultery, Yes, I thought that was bullshit.
No it's not. I thought it was bullshit. As a person who you
know, my emotional side was stunted or is stunted or was stunted is I
never for me, emotional adultery didn't exist. How could you have emotional adultery?
I mean for me, it was, you know, my emotions were
tied into my to to the person you're with in the physicality of the relationship
and all that. So the emotional adultery to me was like I mean,
I'm connected to a lot of people for a lot of different reasons. Well,
I'm not cheating. I'm not cheating on someone in my mind in that
context. But in a relationship, it's not about what I think. It's
about what the person I'm with things. Yeah, I think, And so
that the adultery, sorry, be the adultery for me, isn't what I
think is adultery. It's what the other person thinks is adultery. Yes,
because somebody said to me, oh, have you ever cheated? You know,
did you ever cheat on someone? I'm like never. They're like,
well, how about you have this friend and that friend, and you would
do this with this friend and that with that friend. You wouldn't do it
with your your partner. And I was like, well, I wasn't cheating.
They're like, WHOA, Well she didn't want to go, she wasn't
interested. I was like, okay, well then sometimes she's not interested though,
because you didn't make her feel wanted or welcomed or this isn't what I
do with you. So there, and you don't think anything I get.
I don't think anything of it. No, I think it's also a problem
to like this guy, Laura, and I think it's emotional adultery in a
way. When you start talking about the problems in your relationship with somebody else,
you start forming a bond that's kind of like a creepy bond, and
you've got an intimacy there. There's an intimacy to that, right, these
are problems I don't talk about with anybody else. Hey, I've never told
anybody this. That's an intimacy and it can become problematic if it's you know,
your marriage and you're not you're not doing else once. Yeah, venting
about something is different than asking, and I think that's emotional adultery. I
do. I think like leaning on somebody else that when you should be well,
this is your gender. This is a gender issue to me now these
days, it's a gender issue to me. If it's a if if I'm
talking with my buddies and I'm complaining or venting about this and that with one
of my guys, I don't that to me is a guy thing that guys
just do. And if if if she's venting with one of her girlfriends or
someone of that nature. But when you cross the line and you include a
male into that, and if you're a female or if you're a male,
and then as you bring in the female, I think that to me,
at this stage of my life where I'm at now, you just that that
is a recipe for absolute disaster. So to you know, it's just interesting
that this is coming up and you're saying that I follow somebody on TikTok because
I was so interested. It's this pretty woman and she's talking she has an
open marriage, So right, okay, I'm with you because I go,
I don't know, I don't think I can handle that. But it was
really interesting. They have kids, and they were monogamous for like a year
and a half after the kid was born and all that, and then she
was talking about how she had she was dating, like several other people like
Greg, and you got to see this woman unassuming, like just this pretty.
She looks like she stepped out of an Ivory Coast commercial. You know
what I'm saying, like very wholesome, all American. I know that that
sounds bad, but that's that's what I saw. And she's talking about how
he wanted her, and he's like, look, I need you to be
monogamous for a while with something's going on, and she's like, if our
base isn't good, she said, So I wasn't monogamous immediately because I wanted
time to say goodbye to all these other people I know. I want so
badly in her, so bad I'm fascinated. It's all over TikTok. It
could be complete bullshit, but it could be. But she's she's just talking
to the camera in her backyard. So I'm from the king Society said she
had just gotten married and she had a date with another Yeah of oz.
Yeah, dude, I get so that's adultery. Adultery, but then yeah,
you get jealous. What I guess, it's a matter of how comfortable
you are with yourself, and so I guess if you're that coming with yourself.
But I just I, yeah, there's a weird thing, right,
an open relationship and an open marriage. And then somebody may have seen her
on TikTok and outitor to her parents, so she had to sit down and
yeah, it's really interesting to me from the psychological factor, like if you
didn't want to out there, she wanted to put it on, but I
think or maybe somebody who knew said I'm going to tell your parents in that
and then she went on TikTok, so maybe they knew. Now I don't
remember exactly how that went. I haven't watched enough of them, but yeah,
I'm ready. If he's questioning his wife, though, confront her and
if you really think that there's an as you fight for it, well maybe
that's what she wants to right there. There could be a whole thing about
I'm not saying you can, speaking from experience, like wanting your spouse to
like actively put an effort and playing for you, honey, I'm not saying
you can't be friends with Charles, but I'd like you to share your thoughts
with me. First. I know a couple that I know, A guy
who he is, he's got he's got a wife, and they both are
good friends with his like high school best friend who's a girl for years and
it's like it's no big deal, dude, I got it just a way.
It's just the way it's always been, and that's never been a problem.
I have guy friends, It's who I am. But I'm not going
to cheat on my boyfriend so favorous last words, what so one of my
high one of my college best friends, uh in, one of the women
who he knew we knew in high school, and she went to college with
us. They reconnected down in southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland and they and they
had kills kids the same age, and they played sports together, so they
became friends, and and him and his wife and he and I were roommates
in college, and one of our mutual friends and her husband hung out together,
and they got out together for a while and it was all fun games
whatever. The kids got older got older. His wife is now married to
her at hosband. So my buddy, I'm not gonna use his name because
some people I know who I go to college would listen. His wife cheated
on him with our good friend's husband and they got divorced and then they got
married. I was like, are you fucking kidding me? And they were
just like tips, like yeah, we were friends, were all hung out
together. We can fire, we can somebody just took that far and they
went too far. And it was like and he trusted her and she trusted
him, and they broke that trust, and it was I'm just like,
so when I heard that story, the first thing that came to my mind
was him, and I just thought to myself, I'm and again, I'm
a people I'm insecure about those types of things. Can't find Oh my god,
of course it's called webster. Oh Staten island of our area. I
mean, yeah, what So swingers are just people who have just broken up
and reconnecttions to have swapped, not even necessarily swat, but one partner yeah
and the other yeah, and they are they still together? Sometimes those things
don't work out. Some the grass greener for minutes, yeah, and then
you then you say hot factor. The other thing I would say that George,
is that I'm a firm believer in evolution. Everybody evolves in a seven
to ten year process, right, and if you look back, if you
look back seven years, you're different today than you were seven years ago.
And in relationships, as you change, that person changes, and depending how
long you're together in a relationship, and so sometimes you got to check that
with that person to make sure you guys are evolving and you're on your same
on the same path forward. And so this may be an opportunity for him
to reconnect with his wife to say where are we evolving in the same direction?
Data again, if you're going if he if she's going to him,
that's like a dating thing, right, maybe you need to reach out to
her and say, hey, I see this going on, I want I
want to be a part of it. And and I think if if he
initiates that and creates that that environment, that they'll figure out either you're on
the same path or you're not. And if you're not speaking from experience,
you know it's best to the person that you love and respect if you're not
on the same path, that you take that at that time, rather than
waiting too long and work becomes absolutely miserable and separate rooms, you're always arguing,
you can't stand around each other. Who comes to battle action? And
look, we all we we all know the opposite of love is not hate.
No, it's not. That's indifference. That's exactly what it is.
And hate. There is one last one for you, Laura. I am
recently the recently divorced woman. I met a nice man, we hooked,
we hooked up after just a couple of dates, and planned to meet again.
Should I still be dating other men? Absolutely? Absolutely absolutely, Unless
you're in a committed relationship like you're you hook up with the fucking guy.
How is that not being committed? Because now I found I sound like the
chick. Don't Jesus Christ, how's your man? China? I told you
off there? I listen. Wait, that's a fair opinion, because I
think that the unspoken thing. Uh. Here, here's the according to studies
that I did a little research. I had these earlier. So, uh,
it takes approximately two years from the end of a relationship to completely get
over somebody, to completely get that person sort of out of your system.
Uh. Sometimes less if you were the one who initiated it, according to
the study, and sometimes more if you're the person that had the relationship ended.
Yeah. Uh, proper dating etiquette requires no assumptions. I know that
if we hooked up, it does. Don't assume that we're exclusive unless it's
said we're exclusive, Because do you get where I'm coming from? Don't be
a I gotta tell you, I don't. Should we make a tender profile
for Greg? And so? Is hell out there trying to count the number
of rescue my brothers he has right now? I don't know what that means?
No, no, no, no, I want Laura to tell him
that she just went what you don't know? Brother? Okay, say you
sleep with a woman named Danielle and I just went through my mind. I
was like, don't take that. Yeah, right, right right, So
Kevin, Kevin also has slept with this Daniel And are you kidding? I
lose my mind? I would lose my mom. I would never. I
would never. I would never the first one in it. But are you
gonna say no? I mean, depending on the proximity, if it were
like close, I would years. Yeah, that's fine. But I mean
if you're talking about like within with we're talking about, I mean, haven't
run on the trade with somebody then like the next week or a month late,
I'm like, I'm fucking gone. I'm running out of that fucking thing
like nobody's business. No fucking road runner. I'm gonna call me the road
run. It's Saturday night, Greg, We're gonna we're gonna, yeah,
we're gonna have a good time Saturday night. Well, I'm gonna get have
good time every night like tonight. So there are a lot of my friends
and I all were divorced and single around the same time. Sister No even
like like you guys all know Renee, Renee if she were to go on
a date with someone, would like text me and make sure I never went
on a date with that guy, like because it's just awkward to be in
the same and we've had me Renee Jamie like other people. We've all had
some of the same people message us and message you try to hook up.
Here we go. What was that fucking website? I hated christ all right,
but now that that website? Was it you who told us that you
knew someone who sued it? No? No, who told us just the
other day? Oh there was another woman in here when they get your gig
on people were here. I'm wearing their T shirt and this woman said I
have a friend who got sued for defamation of character for fuck yeah, way
too many people on there. And by the way, it's somebody who if
if that somebody had said something which was not true about in that situation talking
all over that. I mean, I know a lot of people on there.
I've commented on them because trying to help them out. Yeah, like
being like, oh I went on a really bad day, or I I
knew someone who I went on a couple dates with and he was really nice.
He was just quiet, not my type. But like somebody posted him
and I was like, oh, he's a nice guy. Like but then
I also know someone whose wife was pregnant. It was posted on oh yeah
there are guys. He's a cop and greet let's get back the wawer's response,
she said, oh she did. If you hooked up with someone,
if you did not have the we are going to be exclusive, then I
still think she has freedom to date because I know so many people who have
hooked up with someone once the guy immediately moves on or ghost them, and
they get so mine. Okay, okay, so I want that's a whole
don't like just be so attached to this person. I think if you're asking
the question, the answer is yes, you should keep going because in your
head there's a doubt there's any Again, I think there are a lot of
guys, but the eye off man, give the guy you're not interested.
If you're with somebody and you have that, if that happens and it wasn't
what you wanted, or you're not like totally head over heels and thinking that
this is your guy, then fucking say, hey, look this this isn't
working. I'm looking for something different. Hey, thank you very much.
I had a great time, but I'm looking for something else. Don't freaking
string the person and any guys don't do that to freaking women either. Yeah,
I mean that's bullshit. Well, I think in my opinion, no,
I think you're right, and I think the problem is being a man
is owning up to it. I think that the dating scene has changed,
Like a lot of people say the dating scene has changed when you after you've
been married for a certain period of time, But I think you've changed.
I think you've had a major life event dissolving, you know, dissolve a
marriage. I think that, uh, communication is absolutely the key, and
just ducking things tells you a lot about a person, right, they aren't
up front, but here the thing is you have the hey are we exclusive?
Or can I date other people? Or what are we doing here?
I think it's a fair question. But I think to Greg's point, don't
you know if she slept with this guy and he reached out the next day
and was there was continual communication? She wanted to be asking this. So
in my opinion, she slept with him, maybe she's heard from him once
in the next week, and so she's like, what do I do I
pursue him or do I And like that's where it's like don't get so entangled
into one person, because if you if he was showing you that he wanted
you, you would know. I always think that maybe, Okay, Now
that's I can appreciate that that answer is not the same. My initial response
is I'll tell you why kid, he didn't tell you what? Though,
if you hadn't pushed, I don't think we would have gotten that answer.
Yeah, I think because I think that was assumed in her head, but
wasn't Maybe Yeah, No, I mean for me because if you're if I'm
if I'm dating someone, yeah, and it gets to that point that means
I'm in interested, And if the sex is great and everything else is great,
why am I not? I'm not looking for someone else because everything is
good. Why would I look for something if i'm if I'm good with what
I have? Why am I looking someplace else? Now? Why am I
looking at the boy? I love my Italian? But like, if you
would you follow up with the girl like immediately? Or are you going to
do? I don't. I don't subscribe. I do not subscribe by I
subscribe by my rules, which is, if I'm interested, I'm interested.
If I'm not, I'm not. And if I'm not interested. I will
say, hey, everything's you know, you're a great person, you're nice.
It's just not what I'm looking You're not what I'm looking for. I
think that's generational because I like, I don't like to play games like I
didn't and so like, like when a guy is straightforward with me and I
was like, I want to be with you, you know so, But
what if he says I don't want to be with you, That's fine.
I wouldn't want to be with you, because like, I about that,
and I value myself, so I would want to be with someone who value
wants to be with me. First of all, I don't care who you
are. I would much rather have the bandit ripped off to say Okay,
I'm not interested and then get over it. Then have to string me along,
right, I mean, don't string me along, because if I care
about you, or if you're in a relayer or you like someone, then
you you reserve a spot for that person and you then miss other opportunities.
But if you're cutting nobody, you're not interested. I don't care if you're
a guy or a girl. You have a higher tendency or rate a tendency
to then seek other opportunities because you know, look, nobody wants. You
can't force someone to like you. No, you can't force someone to make
the decision you want them to make. You know, if you've made your
decision, let me know, right. So, I'm gonna I'm gonna sort
of preach about this are we Dating the Same Guy? Website real quick because
I know someone who was talking to a guy for again. I have a
lot of single friends right now, so good men, reach out. I
will put you in contact with some of them. Guys. Wait a second,
did you say single friends meaning single guy friends or female? But a
lot No, A lot of them are good. Some of them are hoop
chicks, I won't. Okay, So this a friend was dating this guy
for like two weeks, looks him up on the are we Dating the Same
Guy? Website? And he had he loved bombs. As soon as he
sleeps with you, you will run. Yeah. So she she was like,
I'm going to give him a chance, like she confronted him. Women
not with me. She ain't. He's not going to do that with me,
because you know what, I'm that good. I'm not good. I
met him. I confronted him about it. No, he was like,
because he did, because he slept one of your friends and did that to
her. She was afraid he was going to do it first saw this about
him on that website. Are you sticking your because I don't want my friend
to get hurt because she's a very emotional girl. So why didn't you tell
her about it rather than go to him? No, she had talked to
him about it already. She's the one who told me. She was like,
so then Laura's got to step in there. So I said something and
run. I was like, so you're on this website. He's like,
yeah, I was. He's like after my divorce. I was a little
crazy. He's like, but I'm ready to settle down now. And he
gave me a great explanation, and I was like, go for it to
my friend practiced mirror doesn't hear from him. He did exactly what That's called
the pattern. Now, that is a pattern, and that's bad. I
do love patterns. I love the pattern. Like he fooled her, He
fooled me. Yes, he said nice things right and we saw it was
charming. Was he a construction Was he a contractor? I don't even want
to know. Why where did that come from? Now? There in my
business, you have people that oh, I got you, I got you,
say things to say what they need to do to get the job,
but they never finished the job, and then they never really have what they're
supposed to have. But they have a great line, but they have a
great pipe fitters. Yeah, that I always think. Hold on, he
wasn't legal, he was law William Attire. I don't. Uh, that's
interesting because I sometimes think that guys, maybe more than women, will date
somebody and jump in too soon after a divorce, right, jumping almost too
well, yeah, probably, And it's almost because you're more more comfortable having
somebody coming home. It's what you're used to. It's your pattern for lack
of a better turn, and I think that sometimes had some mistake and that's
why some of these don't work. Just don't give yourself some time, right
Yeah, yeah, I mean that's scary. You can do it. You
can do that, all right, Love to that girl real quick. The
the schedule, So have you heard the Taylor Swift conspiracy? I have,
all right, because Taylor is going to be in Toronto for three shows and
then the bills tail gate. I'm not joking. Ay, I always heard
that. Yeah, she's got a block of shows then in Toronto. Then
there's that the game, and then a few days later a few more block
of shows in Toronto. And by the way, that's not the only time
that the Chiefs are playing in near a city where Taylor is playing. So
Danny, Yeah, being the conspiracy theorist on the on the podcast, do
you believe that in the NFL kind of walked around and did that. I've
read that they have. I mean, to be honest with you, it's
if I could. I couldn't care less if they did or not. But
if they did, then I guess I don't know. I don't know what
that means anything. I really, come on, it seems like it would
be way too they figure all that out. There's a team in the NFL
that works on the schedule. Yeah, for the whole year. Yeah,
I mean they go through all the different scenarios. I mean, so the
schedules, schedule is just released and unfortunately then now they have a computer that
does it. Before it was all done by hand and index cars. Yeah.
Yeah, And so to think about something of that nature, now,
there may have been some in terms of the meetings like with Goodell, and
you get to the upper level once everything is worked out, and then they
have all these different scenarios. You know, they might say things like,
Okay, what's going on and what's going on in the other areas? You
know, can can we make this a multi factor event? You know,
if you're gonna play a game at Monday night in Buffalo, what is going
on Sunday night in Toronto? What's going on Monday in Cleveland or whatever?
So then you can people can use that proximity to kind of build up the
event. So it's like a multi factorial thing, you know. And they
did it, the Bills. The Bills did u. The rules just bought
the team. They had a they had a hockey game on sat on Saturday,
and then they did a football game on Sunday and they called it like,
you know, Buffalo's Weekend, Buffalo Sports Weekend or something. So they
do try to coordinate. Yeah, so they tried to court anything, but
but to have that concerted effort to say we're going to do it intentionally for
this reason, there's too many other factors that are invariables at it. Because
look, Thursday night football, they were all over the NFL this year because
every freaking game they had last year sucked. So what's the first what's the
very first football game? Thursday night football game on Prime? Bills, Bills,
Dolphins. What was one of the highest rated games last year at the
end of the year for the regular seasons, Bills, Dolphins. Yeah,
so you're right. I mean the Prime games did stink, didn't they They
were not. But I'll love what Prime does because they do another side channel
that the Analytics channel. Analytics Channel. It's really well done. But the
games they have a Spanish channel. But by the way they were. They
used to have the rule where like every team must to play at least one
primetime game. This year there were six, like the Carolina's not playing one.
Six teams don't have to play a Thursday night game this year. I
don't know if you saw that. I didn't see that. Yeah, there's
six teams that aren't going to play a Thursday night game, which is kind
of fair to them, but unfair to everybody else because they all have to
play a short schedule. But the Carolina Panthers have all one o'clock games,
like what the Bills were ten years ago. I can say this, and
I don't I don't know what six teams are, but I would say to
you, of the thirty two, the six that don't have it are probably
projected to be the lowest six teams in the NFL. Because if you have
any team that's going to be in a that's vuying for a playoff spot,
they're gonna want to be on TV. Right I mean Houston, Yeah,
I mean the Texans, they're going to be there. The way, they're
already favored to beat the Bills. They are Texans by by one. Now
it's a it's a Texans home game, it's a one point game, so
it's really a pick them. But they are already favored beat Buffalo, so
believe it or not. Yeah, it's funny how they but like so and
so when you look at the way they set up the Bills schedule. So
when I when I found out that the Dolphins game was gonna be the Thursday
night game, so you're like, okay, what are the Bills? So
the kickoff weekend is the first two games, right, so each team will
have a home game of the first two weeks. So when we saw that
Buffalo is going to Miami on that Thursday Night Set Week two. You knew
Buffal's gonna have a home game. It's like, Okay, who's gonna be
that first home game? It's gonna be a team that the NFL thinks the
Bills will win. Why because it then sets the stage because Prime wants to
have The Bills at want to know, yeah, and the Dolphins at want
to know because that's what they're gonna want. Why the Bill. Who's the
home opener Arizona Cardinals. I was just thinking they're one of the six.
They don't have any cards. I don't know, I don't remember, but
I mean that is an interesting matchup. Greg, Greg, Greg's right.
By the way, you see the super Bowl logo, no super Bowls in
New Orleans. I guess who the colors are. There's no I think the
NFL went out of its way said if we land this film as a super
Bowl this year, everyone's gonna think it's conspiracy. There's the last time there's
been a back to back Super Bowl is Bill's Cowboys in twenty seven and twenty
eight. The super Bowl logo is the colors of the Chiefs and the Niners
in the games in New Orleans. So the NFL's got to be thinking,
there's no way it's gonna happen three times in five years. There's just no
way. So let's use these colors so nobody could say, ah, we
got a conspiracy here. Thenfcause last year, remember every it's like, oh,
it's gonna be Baltimore, Yeah, and uh in San Francisco and it
was. It ended up being the Chiefs, which is even worse. We
would wish, we wish there was a conspiracy. Yes, but I mean
I think the Bill schedules pretty fair and pretty even. Yeah. I mean
my look at the Bill schedule is that when you look at what they have
to play, who the teams they have to play from last and you look
at last year's performance, you look at what the teams have done through free
agency as well as to the draft. You know, you want the Bills
to go. You want the Bills to co you know, win the AFC
and and go like you know, fourteen and three would be nice. But
but I think the Bills with their schedule, if if we go twelve and
five, that's good. I think that's very good. If the Bills go
eleven and six, I think the AFC East is I think the AFC East
champion is gonna be either eleven and six and it's gonna be like last year,
or it's gonna be twelve and five. But there's gonna be two teams
right on their heels, So I think it's gonna be Look, you got
the Jets. The Jets have more prime time games in the six six.
Wow. The Jets of the Niners lead the NFL with six primetime games.
And if you look at if you look at the projections of who's gonna win
the AFC East right now, there are more people, more experts out of
Vegas picking the Jets. There. I like that. I'll say I'll say
this too, because the Jets strength of schedule was what they call it so
weak, a fourth place schedule, okay, and the Bills is a first
play schedule and there's a huge gap petit percentages. But here's the thing that
everybody has to remember about the Buffalo Bills. They lost six game games last
year in the regular season. Five were the teams that missed the playoffs.
So to strike the schedule and take that out that the Bills played down,
I think the stronger the team, the better they'll play. Oh, Okay,
I think that we plus you had a freaking shitty offensive coordinator for her
for those freaking losses. Yeah, but but yeah, I mean I I
go back to that Monday night game and it was like it wasn't Dorsey putting
the ball on the carpet and Dorsey took the ball out of Allan's heads when
they've scored in that final drive and just ran down the field. Hey,
let's fire you. Oh wait, wait, what did I do? Well?
I didn't do anything for the first you know, twelve games. Well
then why did you fire me that? Or a first ten games? So
well, I think they're better off. I don't know. I don't know
if they're better off. There's a right now that they're that they're they're they're
looking like the twenty seventeen Panthers, all right, the offensive coordinator building everything
around me, a big party to get ready for out let go. It's
it. Yes, every day, live every day like at your that's he
didn't do that. That's a thought though. I had live every day everywhere.
We will see everybody Saturday night, Iron Smoke Distillery doors open at seven,
come on down. Tryst will be on stage. We'll have a nice
little uh comedy set beforehand. I get nervous because I don't know that everybody's

we could make it work. For Greg Connor's Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday,
