Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on. Thanks
for telling a friend I said. We spread the word about the pirate ship.
Oh Danny, Bill, Oh Danny, what happened now? Nothing?
Oh good? That's good. Good weekend? Yeah, all right, not
bad. Went to the Joe Bracano show Friday night. Oh how was that
Tropics? How was my gene jacket? He was twelve of its closest friends?
He was he was good wash. I was surprised at uh that band
and it just sounds fantastic. And when he and his dad were singing together,
I think that's so cool. Anybody does with his dad, you know.
Um. But he wanted me to do that comedy beforehand. Oh I
did, plays a gentleman, Joe racco. No. So some lady goes
up and she introduces me, right, and then I go out there and
there's they left like room for people to dance. So the stage is here,
and then there's this giant gap and then all these tables. But I
mean it's a good. Oh god, it had to be about a thousand
feet away or something, Okay, And I've never done any kind of outside
them. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I've never done anything. So
I just went up, I did I did stuff, and they were they
laugh But I mean, you know, people are back at the bar and
I'm like, oh god, And then uh, yeah, that's always tough
to do comedy when there's pete when there's an open bar. Well, it
wasn't even that. Yes, I mean, comedy is great in a tight
room. Like one of the best rooms is the Comedy Seller. It's got
like two hundred max maybe maybe that, and so that's that's great. But
this is like outside your spread, like this guy's hilarious, But can I
get a melon bottle? I'm going this is uh, this is right,
next Star Summer was looking for some sprinkles. It's like, is the Beatle
doing a solo show busting outside abbots like that guy chocolate milk shake and Billy's
bringing out the custard as he's talking about of going what is happening here?
Trust? But it was fine and then the uh, the owner gave me
a tour of the whole place. And I hung out for the show and
Johnny gave you a tour. Yeah, yeah cool, and showed me the
roof all the stuff they're doing. Yeah, they're doing a ton of My
wife almost got electrocuted when she played there once. A whole new level going
on top of Yeah, yes, that's good. It looks uh, look
it looks good. You know. They were doing a lot of cool stuff
out there. So I heard our buddy the football guy is involved in this
place. I don't know who that is, Rich the ram fan, Oh
he is, I heard he's That's what I've heard. I don't know if
that's true. I have no idea. I have no idea, but I
uh but it was. It was entertaining and the Joe must go on and
he did. He did all his songs and uh tore it up, tore
it up. Good crowd. Yeah, there were yes, and there were
some women that look like um back in the eighties. They could have been
in a white Snake video. And I have to spark factory. Well it's
like one of these here's the part that was like, this is gonna sound
mean, but I went wow, Like they came out and they had they
looked like they gotta be. They're over fifty. I'm saying. I'm saying,
here I go out again on my own. I'm going they gotta be
pushing. They gotta be pushing sixty. And they are in I mean high
heels, like like really slutty high like leather pants, half shirt. So
that Gates came down to this. But here's the thing that's the weirdest.
That's where Gates started. But it's strange because like they're not in bad shape.
They're not in bad shape, but they're not in that good of shape.
Like I go, boy, you gotta have some confidence to be able
to walk out because the bellies a little waffle, a little bit, nothing
bad iron And I was like, all right, okay, stretch, that's
all right. It was like wow, But they were out there, I
mean, and and there was I used to go to the Penny Arcade.
There's a couple all that looked like the penny Arcade was their heyday. It
was their heyday. Every Monday night was a night. I got in when
I was eighteen, so I was going, who I was legal? Then
there were some there was some watching to me for sure, for sure was
it because it was Charlotta. Was it because it was a Joe Brocado concert.
I don't that's a good question. I don't know. You know,
like, I'll tell you who comes to every Joe Bricaddo show. I've been
at. Ferdinand j Smith k every single show. He and his brother Greg,
every show. Ferdie's known for his car. He was not. He
was summer, but they were wearing jackets and no idea, he's a fund
Every single Joe Ricado show they were at, they are kidding big supporters and
big fans. Well he produced Thank you soldier. Yeah, he produced it
and helped it get out there. They do it every I was like,
all right, look at this. So they were there and uh he came
up to me Ferdinand afterwards, he goes, you did a great job.
Well, thank you. I get you a couch from I love the joke
about the winery. I go, okay, good. So a Charlotte was
Joey selling tapes. No show doesn't sell tapes. He sells thumb drives.
So I don't know. Fifteen songs on the thumb drive and I'm going,
do you buy it? I don't know. I don't ask questions. I
just I don't ask random songs from can I do? Let's get the thumb
drive? How much risk for the thumb drive? I'm just having fun,
job, I'm having fun. Oh, we'll get upset. Somebody said to
me that, oh geez no, no, no, the show. I'll
just give you and and if this gets back to Joe, I don't care.
Okay. Family member says to me, Hey, he asked me a
question. I gave him an honoring on his answer, and he called me
for the next three days straight, all upset. Did you get privy to
the question? Oh, yes, of course I did. You should probably
share the question and we all know what it is. What is okay?
Okay, okay? What is it? What was the question? I'm guessing
it has to do with something of a song? He wrote, No,
did you think this song was good? No? No, no? Do
I sound pitchy? Dog? No? No? Is it my weight?
Yes? Okay, I knew it is something I worry about the same thing
and serious he goes. He goes hey, he goes, do I I
don't look that good? He goes, hey, you look bloated, and
he goes. For the next three days after saying that, he called me
every day. Why would you say that? Well, come, do you
want an honest answer right now or just want people to tell you like what
you want to hear. He's like the woman these jeens makes you. As
I tell my wife, I go, anything critical. You want to give
me any information about my show? Any critical critiques? She goes, no,
you sound pretty good. I go, bull crap, I know you're
full of it. Tell me the truth, and she goes, well,
you could do this, this and this. I'm like, okay, that's
what I'm looking for because I thought I also needed to do this and this.
Okay, okay, yeah that too, but I'm hyper critical of myself.
I want to see if she's telling me the truth because she's a music
teacher and Beth hasn't talked. No, I want the constructive criticism. I
don't know, it's I feel bad saying that about Joe, but it was.
Oh it made me laugh so hard, because you know, but art,
people into arts are usually saying, well, you cannot you cannot make
fun of an artist. That's why I don't make fun of people's art.
No, right, that's what I mean. Like, Okay, there was
a guy who died who used to fancy himself as an artist, and our
buddy Tommy used to rip the hell out of him. He goes, this
looks like a fifth grade as our project, bro, and he was right.
Uh GP, and so it's a rich guy. I got it.
I got it, I got it. Okay. Did you get this info
before you did your center? After you before? Was there any thought in
your mind of adding it to yourself? Not a chance? Whatever you do,
don't make any references. I would not. I would not. I
see they took the scale out. I would I would not see if they
took the scale out. I saw there is a loading zone in the back.
I saw a three scooper terrible, terrible, And he's very sensitive about
all that stuff. Always you're only sensitive if you will never mind. Uh.
Tomorrow Twitter is done from what I'm seeing. Okay, after seventeen years,
it will no longer be called Twitter. It's being rebranded X. Okay,
because X has worked out so well for Elon Musk was blown up.
First change in his master plan. Uh, I guess it's what is wee
chat? Does anybody know what wheat chat is? Is that something overseas somewhere,
something I've ever done? Yeah? Somebody's saying that he's trying to create
the wheat Chat equivalent for America, but I don't know what that is.
Okay, So they have kept the Twitter name and the branding. I mean,
it's just what people are familiar with. I don't know. Well,
Facebook became meta, yeah, but we still call it Facebook. People are
going, it's gonna be the Sears Tower. We're gonna we basically because the
Sears Tower is not the Sears Tower anymore but Everybody tower, and so it's
always gonna be called Twitter. Yah. High Mark will always be rich Stadium.
Three. You're never gonna get rid of that. Four names Ago,
five Dames Ago, Uh huh uh speaking of that, our friend, uh
Greg Connors will be in here in a little while. I think today he
was golfing with Brandon being the general manager of the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen.

on the course. So he won't be in until I don't know when,
maybe in an hour from now. But we'll see bill hell of Pad in.
Do we clear off the hell of Pad that for him? I don't
know, Okay, you might Sully it into the canal. Sully it into
the canal. He I got a lot of compliments about that interview, Like
I didn't do anything. It was all. It was all Bill and Kevin
Man. It's a great piece. Man, it's great. It's all.

I hate when that happens. Yeah, all of a sudden, you're you're
something you want to do when there's a million other things I want to watch.
The Joe Pocando's show, Saturday got away from me. It was Friday,
there you go, Friday became Saturday the next thing you know, there
it is Oh god, what else Joe Riccado show was Elvio there No,
okay, uh no, it was just I mean it was a lot of
fun. Impressed by the band and the way he sounds and all the energy
he brings. I love the fact that he does original material. Yeah,
he does y'all. Hard is to write one song, let alone like probably
a hundred that he's written, maybe more. It's hard, man, It's
really difficult, right, Um, will you will? Uh well, we'll
take a moment. I was with Rac and Randy last night and uh,
we will talk to Race and Randy. Yeah. I got like a grainy
subruder film from him on my phone today. I was like, what's going
on? Is he blowing something up? Then I figured out it was a
dragster? It was, Yes, it was, but Bunny sure elon must
you should have seen? Yes, we were down at the Empire Dragway yesterday.
That was the uh top fuel dragsters, Nitro funny cars, jet truck
was their Midsummer mayhem, and it was. I still had rubber in my
tub this morning. Oh wow, from I took a shower last night and
I had to scrub the tub and then he showered. I still had like
rubber in my hands. Because we were standing like right in the starting area.
I will tell you all, I don't give you the shield. No,
I mean most of the fans are way back. Would they let us
in? I thought, it's like a gallgher concert. We every time you
announced the driver. You have to hold up plastic when they take off the
normal people sitting the stands, the east siders get to stand right right right
right there. And then I didn't realize what went on. There's like a
whole there's a glue they laid down on this, and then you see everybody
trying to get their tires warmed up. And I mean there's they're just going
like an eighth of a mile, a quarter of a mile. I'm about
so I think they reached well, I think some of those cars were up
in the two thirties, two hundred thirty miles an hour. Yeah, I
mean, and they shoot out the flames and I put a bunch of stuff
on my story and uh, it's freaking crazy. But they let me have
headphones so I could hear all the chatter that's going on around and uh,
it's just funny. It's like it's like anywhere else you work, right,
Yeah, you know what I mean. Imagine if your place of work was
everything. It's everything, just take the setting and moving somewhere else and it's
it's the same thing the office. Yeah, you got moving people's cars.
No no, no, no, no, no, no, this is
all the workers at the track. So it's track officials and they're saying,
hey, get so and so on this one, and hey this one.
Hey where's Joe. I need Joe. You need to respond Joe, where
are you? I was in the bathroom. It's like all this stuff.
But I mean, it's just like getting anymore any other job, any other
job, you know. And then they're screening people are looking for this,
and they're sweeping off the track and one of the cars, one of the
Nitro funny cars went off and hit something and yeah, no one was hurt
and very little damage to stare. But I mean they're going, like,
you know, I'll tell you, it was pretty freaking cool to see all
this. Stuffy's wald my world, buddy, answer to get this every day
for me. Yeah, yeah, call me VIP. Yeah. But we're
supposed to hit ninety seven here. I think we were in the about eighty
three today. We're supposed to hit ninety seven here on Friday. Awesome.
Yes, I kind of like it. I love it. Anybody complains about
the heat, I want to backhand them. We don't get we don't get

in parts of the country and uh we will get into some of that next.

six. Hello, mister Moran, I've been listening to your shows right along
and you keep talking about the coolest leading TV man in the eighties. How
can you miss Don Johnson? The guy was flicking cool, dressed the part.
I'm just saying black coolers, no other guys, and be sure like
and subscribe to Milified wherever you get your podcast. Somebody sent me something saying
that John Stamos was very upset and tried to get out of the Full House
contract because Jody Sweetened, at five years old, was getting bigger laughs than
him. Now, I don't know if that's made up stuff, but someone
send me an article from some unnamed source that I couldn't remember, and we
said, Don Johnson, here's the thing. Don Johnson's cool ran out.
John Stamos is still cool man. How would you like to be John Stamos
at his age? You wouldn't sign up to be that John Stamos now,
yeah? Or George Clooney now those guys still look cool. Yeah, but
Clooney, I'll give you well, you don't think Stamos looks cool right now?
What has Stamos done since since Full House? Besides twenty minutes on er?
Yeah, I forgot Stamos was on the AR. I don't know,
but so what he's still John Stamos still cool. Well, he does all
those commercials and stuff. Now. Oh, by the way, he's the
voice of grace Land. When you get your tablet, he gives the guided
tour. How do you know that because I went to Graceland in twenty nineteen.
Oh look at this, he gets the tour. And when you're going
down the stairs into the into the jungle room, there's this huge mirror.
All right, just check yourself out looking pretty good. Huh. He used
the coach at the end of extra So we're gonna get ninety seven degrees here,
and I'm seeing that in the Southwest it has been unbearably hot. I
think Phoenix had It's not gone below one hundred and ten in the daytime in
the last twenty days, but altogether now it's a dry heat it is.
I think they're low at night. Was ninety get the air conditioner, and
then I think Death Valley. They had to turn people away because they were
predicted to record the hottest temperatures ever at one hundred and thirty. So it
was historics of people one thirty two or something that people wanted to go and
just say it. I was there sell some T shirts, right, I
was there in one hundred and thirty, I guess. I mean, I
don't know, so there in one hundred and thirty two. Don't come at
one hundred and ten. Then, I don't know. I don't know if
anybody saw this. Passengers aboard a flight from Vegas to Atlanta got stuck on
the tarmac, oh for like three hours. That sucks. And it was
one hundred and eleven degrees one hundred and eleven degrees on the like at the
airport. And I'm pretty sure that I don't know why, but they don't
run the air conditioning until you're in the air. They don't turn out yet.
Good turn on the airplane, please. I think it has to do
with I think it does. I really knew. That's the only thing I
can think because I go I don't want to idol. This is an amazing
thing. Think of the technology and planes. Now you can go from here
to anywhere in the world. Ye old right, and get there. You've
got satellite TV, you've got all this technology, you've got WiFi all in
the plane. But we can't get an air conditioning to run and listen to
what happened without Our government now investigating after a Delta flight was stuck on the
tarmac at Harry Read International Airport and sweltering heat this week. Transportation Secretary Pete
Mudaje says he wants to know why passengers were told to remain on board for
several hours. At least five of them passed out and others soiled themselves.
Flight attendants administered oxygen to those passengers and were told several of them and at
least one flight attendant got off the plane on a stretcher. Okay, so
you got a plane full of people. This is a big flight, they're
telling people. Because I think this is like, you know, two aisle
four aisle two, So you got I've been on the flight from Atlanta to
or from Vegas to Atlanta. Okay, five hours fast and seat belt signing,
he couldn't go up and pendulin real quick. I have no idea.
So I thought if people were passing out from the heat and they were saying
to you, you can get off the plane, but there's a chance you're
not going to be able to get back on, and if you do,
there's not another flight to Atlanta for a couple of days. Why wouldn't driven
get back on. I don't know they like this. There was their thing,
but they were saying you can't can get off? So but if you
get back on, so I think eventually they I don't know if they ended
up canceled the flight. There's there was somebody who was a Fox News uh
producer and she was on the flight saying babies were crying, but people soiled
themselves. Now were those the same people? This is what I can't figure
out now, just hanging once, she says, was stuck on a tarmac
at Harry Read International Airport and swaltering hate. This Weektation Secretary Pete Vudajaj says
he wants to know why passengers were told to remain on board for several hours.
At least five of them passed out and others soiled themselves. Okay,
and others soiled themselves. Now here's the thing. If you pass out,
you probably lose control of your bodily functions. Think of like somebody who passes
out drunk that they pissed themselves. Yes, so so I'm going okay,
but could you imagine being next to somebody because in order for it's a plane
full of people. It's one hundred and eleven degrees plus outside plus all the
body heat inside, it's stuffy, And I go, you imagine sitting next
to a person that crap themselves, And it has to be visible like most
of the time, Like if you did that and you were somewhat conscious,
you're gonna wrap something around your waist. You're gonna try to hide. This
has to be visible, Like people have to know that someone soiled themselves.
Oh gosh, wouldn't be a bad time to be your dad, would It
can't smell anything, Oh, I guess, But a sweaty, passed out
guy on a plane that soiled themselves. I go, what this is the
worst? I can't imagine a world think about, Like everybody complains about people
on planes. Maybe we should wear masks, Billy, I'm just probably had
to wait for five people to pass out before they emptied the plane out.
Well one, would you think one would be good enough to get everybody off
the freaking plane? Well, they weren't letting anybody see this is the thing
that was basically going you're at If you go, you're on a risk in
not being able to get back right, Like, if we get the clearance
to go at any moment we're taken off, if whether you're on this flight
or not. It was kind of the gist of what I was getting.
And then I know a flight attendant passed out, so they got her medical
help. And then five other people and I don't know, I mean,
you could have some old person there. They were in Vegas and not like
the Moine, like if you're gonna get off the plane and the stock,
I'd rather be stuck in Vegas than they have those slot machines right in the
plane. But I remember, like when I came back from the Rochester,
I think from Vegas, but it was through somebody else I can't remember me.
It was Charlotte, and I dropped my phone and on the plane as
I was leaving, and I went to go back there, No, sir,
you could not re enter the plane because it's like think you're gonna like
light a match or do something like it's just bus. And fortunately the person
behind me grab my foot said sir, here you dropped your phone. Here
you go, but they won't let you back on the plane for whatever reason.
Even though when you make your connecting flight you could just go on to
one of those planes. Like, what's the difference, You've already passed through
security. I don't know. I don't know. That is very strange,
But I'm just going man that I can't imagine anything worse, you know,
being stuck in the plane. Why don't they just turn on the air conditioning.
I do you need a full thing of fuel to get I guess you
do from Vegas to Atlanta. Yeah, well it's fun. That's why I
said. It's a five hour flight. So now you get three hours with
these people sticking up the joint, yes, and then it's they gonna spend
another five hours with these freaking people. That's my point. Couldn't sh theoretically
just turn the air on and then before you go, Yes, that's all
I'm thinking too, top it off before they leave. They got those mobile
trucks that come out and fill up the right what's the problem. I am
where you could go at any time, anytime and then people So I can't
tell if the people that soiled themselves were protesting. No, we're fully conscious
and did it like all of a sudden you just can't help it, and
you can't get up to go to the bathroom. Other people in the bathroom.
I don't know, it's ridiculous. This is where like that's the worst
and they don't give you a vomit bag. What happened to the spirit of
the rules? Okay, nobody goes onto a plane expect like who wants to
terrorize the plane expecting for there to be to delay. Okay, we need
a delay for work. Nobody does that. I don't know that. That
to me was the craziest thing. So I had called John the nurse to
go is it possible that they're the same people? And he goes, yeah,
because you'll lose all skelton, you know, you know, your muscular
skeleton, uh kind of goes to sleep, so to speak, so you
don't have the body control. But I'm going okay, but other people,
you, I mean, could you imagine if you had to go to the
bathroom so badly, you're just like, give up, give up. By
the way, I can crap myself, but I can't open a bag of
peanuts going right here, going right here, on man man. And then
I did see over the weekend and I had to ask you on the nurse
about this as well, um from Daily Loud, and then I googled it
It was a stat that was on Twitter, which is going to be rebranded
X tomorrow. I googled it and I found some articles. Uh that nurses
are more likely to cheat on their significant other than athletes, musicians, and
DJs, according to a study. Yeah that makes sense. Why does it
make sense to you? Because you're always around people of power and you're always
like nurses never have a good day. It's always a bad day. Every
day is a bad day, right, So what do you do? You
kind of like confide in the doctor, could fide in somebody else's going through
the same thing you do, right. I was married to a woman who
told me once that she would cheat on me what she eventually did if she
became a police officer, because when she was a security guard, she had
a male part and they had such rough days and they ended up just doing
it after the day was over, just because they had to get a release
out for whatever they were going through there. And wait wait wait wait wait
wait wait wait, hang on the second Jesus Kevin, is it me?
I need to drink? Is it me? Wait? She told you this
prior to getting married. This is after we got married, After you got
I wanted to be a police office. I got the apparently, yes it
didn't work out for what Okay, all right, but okay, so secure.
Let me let me put this in a different context to exactly what she's
saying and exactly what even John was saying. I think a lot of times,
um people can't relate to the other person in their job. And I
think some of these jobs are so intense, you know, being a nurse,
you can't even imagine what it is probably like to be vomited on by
a complete stranger, or to lose somebody in the AR, or to lose
somebody in the ar, or to have someone prepped themselves soil themselves right as
you're help playing you're covered and all this stuff and you you know, or
twelve hours shifts and then and all the stress that goes on there no matter
what kind of nurse you are. And I think that the relatability is a
big thing, because you're looking for somebody who can understand, right, and
it's almost like going to battle. And at the other side, though you
don't understand, the security gets chasing down their fourth person who's stolen a T
shirt of Nirvana from Hot Time. A tough day, right, in my
ex That's what she was trying to tell me, that it was so relatable
that they would just you know, well, right. But I mean I've
seen that with other people in certain jobs. I'm not excusing any of it,
by the way, but I think a lot of times those are like
I mean, I guess it's almost intimate in that I saw you as a
nurse. You know, I'm there and I saw whatever had happened. I
console you and make sure you're okay. I can see where this happened.
Now, some of these, according to our friend John, the nurse and
his girlfriend. They were driving back from Cleveland. She said, the girlfriend
said, sometimes they're looking for a doctor, like some of the right,
there's somebody a little higher up. Yes, But but I but that doesn't
seem to always be the case, because she goes, Look, it also
twelve hour shift. And let's say you get done after you've done four twelve
hour days, and then you you try to find a place that's open,
you know, for Johnny the surgical tech, and all of a sudden,
everybody who's getting off that twelve hour shift at seven o'clock in the morning,
they find a bar like end Rights. Yeah, you know thirst ball,
right, you go in there and you start drinking, and it's it's your
group, it's the people that you can relate to. You you want look
on the rocks. It's a strange thing, right, And so then all
of a sudden, now you know, and I go, boy, it
just sucks. Yeah, oh yeah, that sucks. And there's traveling nurses
too. I think about it. You're away from your significant other for a
long period of time and you miss them, and then all of a sudden
you start to feel bad for yourself and then you know, yeah, I
guess, I guess that can happen. I just never I'd never thought that,
But fellow nurses, I wouldn't even think. Sometimes maybe there's a patient
I could see that as a more than less no, I could know I
know somebody actually, I know somebody stuck in the ivy who had a who
had a liver transplant and the nurse who took care and they end up getting
married. Really look at that. Yeah, well, I mean, if
you're a nurse, you're a very caring, doting right, But you're like
that with everybody, so you know, it's easy for somebody to miss the
signals. If they're not all with especially if they're on the lauded and all
this medication. But apparently this check was like, no, I like this
guy despite the fact that he's got a second liver. Wow, that's pretty
good. Yeah, how is your wife? Fright? My wife and you're
on your second lilo? Yeah, not even close. You know what's funny
is I haven't been drinking that much. Well that's good, I know.

right, you know. With Barbie, I've never seen such a promotion for
a movie. Even this morning. CBS Sunday Morning did a whole thing with
Margot Robbie and I didn't realize she has her own production company and all this
stuff, but she Uh. I'm thinking race and Randy always talks about Hallmark
movies and I'm thinking that he should have reviewed Barbie for us. I think
Barbie domestically this weekend did one hundred and seventy two million dollars. They'll shut
people up about the sound of freedom. That's what they wanted. Well,
I hear it's actually pretty good. It's got a message. It's Barbie going
into the real world and in her world she's the center of the world,
and then she gets out here and realizes it's a man's world. Oh that's
the message. I don't let's stick it to men. Well, I'm just
joking. I don't know. I have no idea. I haven't seen it
either, Randy. If we sent you, would you give us a review?
Sure? If I ever getting me the goal, I don't know where
I right after the goal. I'm not truefully, it's not a movie I
really want to see. But I guess if you if uh, if it
was for the good of man kind, I'm gonna text me at all.
I think you might have gone and seen it last night for your kid.
Oh God, I'd love to get your kids to take on it. Your
oldest son was either that or Oppenheimer, and they were going one of the
two. I don't know if the featured is a double feature in some places.
Some places they were yes, And I think Oppenheimer we barely have a
movie theater here, Dan, you can't have double features. I think I
think Oppenheimer had Uh. I heard it did pretty well, but I not
not Barbie well, but pretty well. So Randy might want to see is
Oppenheimer. Yeah, Randy is currently naked in his bathroom about to get in
the shower. We're doing a what tel tests? Randy, where's that camera
feed? I'm just standing here. We're gonna talking to you guys, waiting
for the light to go green. Baby, So that's right, that's right,
Randy. Uh. Last night, Randy and I were down at the
Empire Dragway and Mam Randy, I had never seen anything like this. There
were top fuel, dragsters, Nitro funny cars, the jet truck, Danny,
the jet truck. It was you got so hot we had to move
over to the side. We actually left our mid area to go over.
So yeah, because this jet truck was coming in. Man the video,
Randy sent me, I don't know, I don't know what Danny, Okay,
Danny, Danny Bill came into my world last night. That's right.
It was in my world last night. So Randy and Duck, I gotta
tell you, like I went home and took a shower. I woke up
this morning, I still had some rubber like embedded in the crevices of my
thumb and then, uh, I look at the bottom of the tub and
I had to scrub it because it was all these little black specks. Because
I was just covered in tire and asphalt and and uh, I don't know,
fuel and nitruck. I got sprayed of ship. It was it was
crazy. Did you introduce friend his Bill is built from the big city or
build from the east side. No, I just thought it was Bill,
the man who who the man who invented race and Randy that's what he did
say that he didn't say that. Actually, here's something funny. So they
were gonna run these top fuel dragsters a second time. They were running a
seven and nine, and they were really there for show. And there are
other races going on, guys drag racing, and it was all through kind
of you know, you you hit your time and you beat the other guy,
you move on, right. So they're trying to do all these locals
and I think it was one of the fuel guys. I had a headset
on the microphone up and I'm just standing there and a guy comes over and
I thought I recognized him, and I thought he recognized me. So I
put my hand out and he kind of shakes my hand awkwardly and goes,
h, you know what the planet is? And you go, yeah,
I think they're gonna hold up these guys and get going. And I had
no idea, but I had a headset on, so I thought I was
like in a track official, but I didn't. I didn't know any anything.
This is mine for McDonald's. I brought my own randy. I mean,
that was some of the coolest stuff because I didn't realize they put the
glue down on the track for them to stick to a little bit more right.
And that's that's that they fully prep tracks. I mean when you run
events like they had those tracks, they put the glue down, they prep
it, and they work it in and know and they clean it off and
make sure they really like my track that we run that I helped run.
They map my track, our track we run at South Butler. We're at
no prep. We don't do putting, no glue down, We don't do
any of that. If something, now, something, if somebody goes off
into the grass, puts the dirt up on track. Yes, we will
go clean that off stuff like that, but we don't glue putting no glue
down on like that. All we do that we have a water burnout,
which is all they have. They have a water burnout. But they but
they glue the racing the area and stuff like the start area and all that.
Yeah. Wow, they blew it, I mean and then they go
through and they run down. They had like they're sweeping the track with brushes
like on the tractors, and they got some kind of rollers that they do.
And there's a whole lot of prep that goes into that. Yeah,
there's a there's a lot of they do. They do a whole lot more
than what we do just to go racing. But uh, you know,
also the costs Recamber Jerry calling me a couple of because hey, what kind
of blue too prep do you guys doing a track? As we don't use
on? He just he's really I says, no, we're a no prep.
It's running what you're bringing Hang on and hang on baby, there were
you guys. But last night Randy, were they some of these cars were
hitting two hundred and thirty miles an hour. Yeah, that one the one
where I went went two sixty nine sixty and three point two two seconds in
the eighth mile. Yeah, so that's that's fast. Okay, that's it's
like crazy, you know. I mean, and they have such a long
uh after you hit that like you know, I mean you're just standing on
these gas pedals as the way I see it. Yeah, like once you
hit that thing, I stop, hey Bill, then you just take it
out. No, they got a long run. So a lot of these
cars, those cars that are going that fast usually at parachutes that shoot out,
but I think they don't. I think they've got enough run one way
there the directions where directions where us the parachutes, but everybody else we use
their brakes. I mean a lot of cars are there, Like there are
other little dragss that run there in different classes. Up there, they have
parachutes. If they can't get stopped, they got a parachute to pull,
you know, so it's there if they need it. Most of the other
most of which I call the door slammer cars, Um, just they don't
have parachutes unless they're really hopped up, afraid they're not going to stop and
something like that. But it uh I mean that was I'd say, my
grandson this morning was still smiling. And Bill, just to let you know,
I got home last night. I looked in the mirror, should see
my face. Yeah, I didn't know I had black streaks all over.
I had all kinds of Yeah, it was. It was incredible. But
that when these cars took off and you're standing there. I mean I watched
Jordan's the phone dropped out of his hand and all of a sudden he bends,
he catches it before it hits the ground, but it startled him so
much. Just the volume as they take off, the ground shakes, and
you're standing right next to these cars. I go to be in that thing
like that was one of the first times Randy, I go, I don't
know that I would be very nervous in a car like that, because I
like the racing where I'm in a little more control, steering road, you
know, that kind of thing i'd like. I'm not so sure i'd really
like it just going, you know, standing on it and uh not one
of those cars, because I mean, these are fucking flames shooting out of
the back of these things. They're taking off like a rocket. So what
separate rates, We'll go ahead, Rendy. It was like they said,
uh um, Steve, there was, there was. There was pretty much
as Steve Mills like you said, you're putting a bomb on the starting line.
Pretty much what it is because they're running nitro. They're running on natral
methane. Now I don't know what mixture they were using last night. Now
like energy or ray the top pisure you can use like nine percent ninety percent
nitro, I think that you can use and then you cut it with something
else. And now what they were running last night, they said they were
probably running fifty fifty and I think you use something called benzine or something they
cut it with to do something with it. So they were probably It's still
two hundred and sixty nine miles and an eighth and I remember that's the first
time dractions had been in that track in twenty one years. YEA, the
last two dragons there was Paul Roman and Clay Millikan. Clay Milliican still driving
in an hr A and uh and Paul Romane he's retired now but from that
Draggersson. But you know it's still that's twenty one years between and its Jarry
a lot of money to get them guys there. So I hope the crowd
appreciate it because they they did a hell oft job. That's what they really
did. That was so cool. And my kid and my grandson, like
I said he would Danny, he went to shoot a couple of videos.
They started him of the phone and lost the video was gone, so he
did my phone was shaky when you sent me that video. But that my
grandson, My grandson shot that last he using my phone. He shot all
the videos that I have even had. He did a great job and even
had George Thurrog in the back of that was real. They want to ask
you, so if both of the they don't race side by side, do
they? Yeah? Oh? Absolutely side. So if there's when you when
I set you with two rails at the same time, that's what I thought.
Okay, So if they're races side by side and everybody just punching the
gas, Yeah, what is it that separates one car from another? Is
the aerodynamics is at the edge? Pretty much, it's just a tune.
Who were tehen they put in the motor? That's pretty much because pretty much
everybody using the same parts, somewhat the same parts, but it's a tune
and what they do and when the clutches are come on, when this comes
on, that coming other thing is like who hits the gas first the right
well and in a way, I mean it looked like from studying this last
night, just watching you know, there's yellow, yellow, yellow, and
then it's down to the last yellow, the next lights green. If you
hit on that last yellow, you're most likely not going to run it run.
So if you go early, it's a fault and you get a red
light and you lose that race. But if you punch it, so,
I mean, it's all like it's a science for these guys. I guess
he's wait till the green light comes on. You're lost. You're done,
You're lost, Wait for that green. You got to leave, got to
leave before that green comes on, and you've got I mean, the best
I've ever done as Salt Butler as I pulled like an old five light at
Salt Butler once. Oh wow, and that's pretty good. You know,
that was in my truck. That was in my my ter old truck.
So but I would you know, and so and it was cool. I
mean, I know Jordan was having a great time. I and all that
he was. He was smiling and you know, on my grants and like
I said, this morning, he was still smiling about it. And he
talking to showing his mom stuff when she got here to pick him up and
stuff. So yeah, but it was great. I mean, Josh and
Steve did a great job showing us around, getting us where to go,
and taking us all over the place. I mean, I, I mean,
I I'm glad I was supposed thought I was gonna work. Yes,
I'm glad I didn't work because I would have never been down in that place.
So I'm glad I didn't have to work yesterday. And I was there
at nine thirty in the morning yesterday. We left at eleven last night,
so we stayed for a little while. Yeah. That more. That's more
than I can do. That's more than I And they were still and they
were still racing. They were still at a point of carves racing the goal.
H Randy, what do we think NASCAR? Dennie Hamlon wins a big
deal deal. I didn't even like the burnouts he did at the end of
that race in the Poconos. No, I until truthfully, I saw absolutely
seven laps of that whole race. I saw. I saw Joey Logano win
the first stage that I've been outside working on my camper all day trying.
I got to Glen coming up, so I'm just trying to make sure a
greater role with That's right, you know. So I listened to it on
the radio. I did have the radio on on the campus so I could
listen to it. I was working on it, but I did see seven
laps and then I heard Denny Hamlin one I know of. I know Austin
Dylan's pissed off at a few people because he got spun again today. Joey
Joey got spun on a restart which I thought absolutely sucked. So he had
a good car, you know, and he just so it is what it
is. Denny Hammond's I think he's got the most wins at pokonon now if
I remember it, he might have the most wins at Pocono, so a
good chance he won't. He won the first two when he was a rookie.
He went to the two his rookie year. He won there, so
wow. So Randy I loses like an Austin Dylon, he gets upset.
Does he get in the post game. I don't want to thank NASCAR,
CoA Cola, Donolds, Burger King, uh, all his sponsors or does
he like, you know, like piss on the other guy sponsors or whatnot.
No, I doesn't even do that, but he sometimes he'll sometimes they'll
say something if it's a individual. But I'm pretty much say I pretty much
heard what I heard. Also, Dylan says, I need to start record
some people. Oh, I know Tyler red he threw his helmet a Tyler
Reddick's car today and that's you know, an oose helmets are those helmets are
a thousand bucks? You know. Yeah, he's get where are they?

camera here. Greg Connors is in the studios. Been a while with training
camp starting up on Wednesday, a Buffalo Bills training camp at Sattown Fisher College.
How excited is everybody? I actually, everybody's excited as I am.
I don't think anybody's excited as excited as you are. But it's gonna be
ninety seven. I'm hearing on Friday. Oh wow, I didn't hear that.
We were discussing what's gonna happen first, a fight or an injury.
I'm saying it's like a real injury, like Josh blows out his knee.
kN injury. Oh my god, don't see. That's just exactly what I
you know what a Patriots fan? Yeah, it's yeah, somebody tweaking their
knee doesn't count it having a stroke. Yeah, there you go. How
do you like it? This is what I'll say about This is one of
the things that McDermott does as he sets his camp up because he was in
Caroline for those years it was always hot and humid and crazy. His practices
are nine o'clock nine thirty in the morning for a very specific reason. Yeah,
schooler's cooler. Yeah, and the temperature and then the recovery time from
the day before from morning and they have time to get their treatments, They
have time to properly nourish and then and then have water. I mean he's
gone through a whole scientific analysis of when he has practice and then why he
has practice, and if it's too hot at that point time, it allows
him, through the collective part agreement, to delay practice up until you know
that day, but the day they have to have practice. If if a
practice is schedule based on the CBA, they have to have the practice,
which is why it doesn't so early because then he can delay it and delay
it and delay it based upon weather conditions. A pool fisher does not great,
they get really hot. They all go to cannonball. They just come
over to my pool for that. There you go. That's it. The
logos in the bottom and everything perfect. That's perfect. That's funny. Uh
well, I know that there's a lot of people very excited. I think
most of the training camp has already sold out from it is the entire every
practice, every practice, general mission tickets require yes or general mission even requires
a ticket, and all those tickets have been distributed, um we and then
if your VIP, then you all the VIP tickets have been distributed. So
the expectations seemed really high. The AFCs seems to be extremely competitive. This
year. Well, I would say the expectations on the Bills are actually down.
I mean there are people picking the Bills three out of four. The
only team they're picking below them is you know, those low Patriots. But
that's good. I like that. I like that. I do too.
I always complain when people on Twitter like I'm not giving the Bills any respects.
Well, now you sent me a stat on defenses with the Miners being
number one but Bills number two, right, and we keep hearing about the
Jets defense being so strong and Dolphins defense defense and then the Patriots Pats eight
or nine out of the ten. I mean all four, all four AFC
East defenses are in the top ten in the league, all four. It's
the only conference that has all four within the top ten. Yeah, so
that that's a little concerning, that's legit. Yeah, it is concerning the
NFL today, a good offense beats a good defense nine times out of ten.
Well, during the regular season, yeah, I would agree that regular
seasons, playoffs is were the defense because it's more more control. That's there's
a lot more game planning involved in it. But the one thing, well,
you know, when I was talking with Brandon was actually playing golf today
with us, and the thing that he believes that the depth and the defense
right now is the best it's ever been since the Bills, since the nineties.
Really yeah, he says from top, he says, you know,
he says, the one issue that everybody's gonna talk about is Tremaine the Mike.
You know, they're Mike. They're inside mic linebacker, right and they
got two guys that are there that are slotted there in depth in the depth
chart. They don't have a ton of experience because of Tremaine has been there
for the last four years, but he says they're both very athletic and based
upon the way that the structure of the defense is set with the defensive front,
he said, those guys are gonna be He said, you're you're gonna
be peep. The Bill's mouth is gonna be very surprised and I think,
very excited about what way those guys are competing. What doesn't that kind of
his job to say that too? I mean, oh yeah, outense,
what what would you say to that? It's ever gonna say, well,
Darcy, here with the Sabers, what's that We're gonna have a lot of
up and coming up. What I thought was telling was was how how he
acknowledged and admitted that it's just that that position is a step down from what
they've had. I mean, they let him go, they let Tremaine go,
they could assign him for the eighteen Tremaine said he wanted to go to
where he felt it was a rebuild, which is something I kind of scratched
my head at when I read that. But you know, Chicago being kind
of a rebuild and being part of that build, usually you like you when
you land somewhere that you craft your statement around. Yeah, this is what
I wanted to lam. Rebuild is where you can make the most money.
Yeah, right right. And I think he's I mean where he is in
Chicagoy now, I think it's perfect for him. And I think where the
Bills defenses right now, with that strong upfront that they got, you know,
to a Ford came in, you know from Seattle, he's sacrificed.
You've got you got d Kwon Jones, You've got Ed Oliver, who I
still I have questions on. I don't think I don't think Ed Oliver starts,
you know, or I don't think he's in tough down situations. I
don't think he's the guy's going to be lined up at and defense. But
you know, we'll see in Leonard Floyd. You know, he said,
one of the big additions to the defense and he thinks gonna make a huge
impact is Floyd on the edge, because you'll have von when he gets healthy,
You'll have Rousseau who's got some experience and still developing. And then the
secondary. The guys last year got really tested because they played his rookies,
they played young because because try Davis was out. Uh. He said tre
Davis has had a great offseason. Good. Uh. He says that his
speed is his speed as of today is as much as as good as it
was prior to the injury, which I think is huge because last year,
if you remember watching him at the end of the season, he was,
oh, and that's gonna happen when he come back from like yeah, and
when you're at that stage, right, So it's good to see that that
he said that, uh and believes that. So you know, I don't
what's the timeline of von Miller. Well, if you ask von Miller,
he says he's ready to go week one. If you use Tredavius as a
benchmark for that same injury. Tredevius got hurt Thanksgiving twenty twenty one, and
he came back and Thanksgiving of twenty twenty two. Von got hurt Thanksgiving of
twenty twenty two. So you know, really it's the end of the season.
Which is one of the reasons why being went and got Floyd is because
he needs somebody to have that edge like Von has had. Yeah, as
Brendan chatter, is Demark going to make this team you think? Or is
he? Are they just giving him a look because of last year? Well,
he didn't say anything specifically about about that. He did talk about how
how you know Damar's an inspiration and that he is back and he's he's at
his full tilt and he's going, you know, hog wild on it.
He's third on the depth chart even if he doesn't have this injury. With
what they brought in, he's third in the depth chart, right, And
so will they keep three safeties? Probably not practice squad potentially potentially. Yeah,
And when you go to the practice squad and you get to that last
cut, you can get picked up. Other teams can hick you up.
And so he could get potentially picked up by somebody else. If you do
get picked up, then you actually got to be on the roster. I
think it's for six weeks. You got to be on the main roster.
You can't be on the practice squad, which then is a deterrent unless you
know teams think you can fit right in. But I think my prediction,
and it wasn't we talked months ago with him, was that he doesn't make
the active roster. Yeah, I would be surprised. And I also think,
like, man, you gotta just wonder when he gets out there and
it's gonna hit somebody what that first initial thing is for him. Yeah,
I don't know that he's had pads on or anything since No, I don't
believe he has. I mean training camp. I think that's the case.
Yeah, it's and and then give things like live action game. Though you
know what I'm saying. I still even feel between practice and you know,
because will some of the somebody running ATOMAR kind of ease up and practice a
little bit for their own fear of like I don't want to be the guy
that does this again, or look the eye and this guy doesn't lie.
So what you and I see where he's supposed to be and what he's doing.
We don't have the defense that are calls. We don't know where there's
positioning is supposed to be yea, and how are we supposed to be reacting?
I mean, I could show you a film on this the last two
you know, the Dolphins game in the Bengals game last year, and show
you how the reason why Jodan Ployer didn't get a big contract is because he
sucked. Yeah, he was horrible those last few games. He was horrible.
He blew it and that's why he didn't get picked up because when you
watch the film, you can see he did not make the appropriate reads.
He didn't do to supposed to do, particularly given his experience, and that's
why I didn't get picked up. I mean, are the Bills happy to
have him show? He's got great experience, He's worked with hide hides coming
back, you know, that's a great combination. So it'll be interesting to
see with Damar once he gets into that. What is his flow, what
is his reads? How does he react to it? You know, as
a former athlete who has had an injury, when you come back, it's
that split second where you're like, I do I go do I not go?
Right? And it's a split second. That split second is what makes
the difference between making the play of not making the play in the NFL,
and they'll be able to tell that on film through preseason. You know,
they've got three preseason games, one at home and in two away, so
they'll be able to tell by watching that film. Is he where he needs
to be based upon the defense that are called and where he should be positioned
himself. He's a hardworking he's a great part He's a wonderful human being's he's
a great inspiration. I mean, look, I was in Berlin, yeah
last week, and our tour guide for the concentration camp we Win Too,
Will asked her, you know, do you guys watch football here in Berlin
And she's like, oh yeah, we watched all the time. And he's
like, oh cool, what's your favorite team. She's like, well,
it's not American football. Yeah, And then she said to us, how
is that American football player Hanlin doing? And we're like, well, he's
with the Buffalo Bills and she's like, oh yeah, right, Buffalo,
I guess where from. She's like, yeah, how's he doing? We're
in Berlin talking to a soccer fan, and she didn't ask how Josh Allen
was, She asked how Tomorrow Hamley. Yeah, I mean that's a story
that was a little more relatable. I think to everybody it was a very
humanizing story. Right, there's somebody dying board. I mean we would hear
about it before. A soccer player that came back and they revived him on
a field less likely to happen, I think there. But you know,
anything can so the you know, so bills are interrational, Tomorrow is international,
and you know what does he do with the platform? How does he
recover from it? How does he go forward with it? So I don't
know how true this guy is or not. But I'm out Friday night at
Joe Bracado's concert and Joe's on stage plane and this guy comes over and I
was wearing my uh PGA thing that I bought when they PGA was here.
Here. I try, you're gonna see your Connors and Ferris. I watched
him wearing a con. Although this guy might have been able, he might
have needed your help, I don't know. He was walking with a little
trouble, okay. So he comes over to me and he goes, hey,
PGA thing. I go what, I'm like, oh, yeah,
yeah, because I figured it was gonna be cooler by the lake. I
was wrong. It was cooler in Fairport than it was out by the lake.
But uh. He starts telling me that he's going to Japan to meet
up with a Bills fan and that there's a there's a Bills mafia in Japan,
and they watched the games before they go to work Monday morning. So
if the game, depending on when it's on, sometimes they get up at
three or four in the morning, they watched the game and then they go
to work. That's awesome. Yeah, and awesome. This guy claimed he
was going the next day to Japan. Now I didn't push too hard because
I'm looking at and going for what reason was going by boat to watch?
It was flying over to Japan to hang out with this Bills Mafia guy and
stay at his house. And I'm going this None of this was making sense
to me. But I wasn't going to push the subject because I didn't want
to prolong the Yeah station with this guy because it was too weird. I
don't know what's going on here, but I thought, boy, that's interesting.
It made sense that there would be a Bills mafia. But he said
these were Japanese nationals, right, natives, and that they were in love
with American football, which I thought was interesting because I mean, it makes
sense when the best baseball player in America is from Japan. Yeah, right
that maybe, you know, we're just starting to see more Western cultures that
kind of sport played over there. I don't know, but I don't see
football. And what better team to then root for? Who has been the
underdog so close? That's why this guy hadn't been there. Yeah, he
said, this guy came Nagasaki. The NFL came in the early nineties because
of the wise right, Yeah, and then he stayed and now he's got
to talk to this guy at steel Rail you might have talk. Yeah,
can I get to a coffee? I'm like, yeah, sure, probably
a cold dunkin Donuts. I'm like thanks, Oh, I don't know.
I have no idea whose dark hair? Yeah, bigger but blonde. This
guy was okay, all right anyway, but I heard a similar story.
I just like that the refuges or that changes hair colors like a roofy bill.
I just like the uh, the fact that the Bills are getting international
attention. Yeah, there's I was talking with one of the Bills GM or
ticket brass guys. Uh, they have this heat chart of fans that had
bought season or had bought game day tickets so you can see where they live.
And he said the Bills have the highest concentration of people that have come
to Buffalo it's for a home game in the last two years who live outside
the country. Really yeah, wow, that was pretty interesting because it's Canada
and it's right there. No, it was, it was Europe, but
it was Europe. Uh, it was some of the other it was,
uh, there was. They had some hits in like from Africa, they
had some America. Yeah, pretty interesting. Yeah, that is very interest.
Well, when you think about it, Josh comes out the scene a
couple of years ago. You know, Mahomes is dominant. They have a
great game. The game is you know, a nail butter to the end,
but plays in New York. Yeah, the one team that actually is
in New York. It's a now Pier. So you know, there's a
lot of interest in this team and part of the whole Josh in Hollywood,
I think adds to the whole drama and the whole circumstances of where the bills
are and what can they do? Man, Josh is I love seeing him
in these golf tournaments. Whatever that one was where they had the tahoe was
it the basket where you had to shoot the three boy shot? And he
makes that, but he started walking away almost Steph Curry style, and it
goes in right. And there were a couple other things that I said,
Oh, a home run derby and some softball thing. He's jacking him out
of the stadium in Buffalo. Yeah, he did in Toronto as well.
Yeah. The greatest thing. The great thing about that that golf from where
he hit the shot was right before him. Mahomes went through and he made
it in the first one and somebody yelled at Josh. Mahomes married it and
he said how many and he said one Josh Hermann hit and he's like,
yeah, I got that. And then he almost hits a hole one,
ye, hurry hits the home one. He almost did. But it's unbelievable.
So the guy, we we know he's a great athlete, but you're
right, he's getting He's everywhere. Yeah, and he's beloved. Well,
the thing is is that Josh was everywhere before? Yes, he was,
he just wasn't his notice. No, And Brandon being talking to Brandon today
one as he said, he goes, I'm so glad Josh didn't get that
whole one one because if he had, it'd be harder for me to keep
convinced him not to try to make it to the guy damn PGA Tour.
He's so competitive, but that's what we want. Yeah, you know,
and everywhere you know, you keep seeing he is considered the top. Well
I think he had him on number three in the in the league. And
I don't know how they're doing these rankings, right, but that when was
the last time Buffalo had a quarterback that anybody thought wasn't that good? Josh?
Jim Kelly? Yeah, I mean yeah, outside of Josh was Jim.
Yeah. It took Kelly though several years. I mean, he was
like he was drafting eighty three. He didn't play in the USFL, played
two years in the SFL, and he was amazing in the us FL,
but then it took him a while to get acclimated the NFL. And he
really did his strikee the eighty nine ninety Yeah, and Josh has already played
before that it had done incredibly well. You know, now I'm gonna compare
the too. Kelly still number one, but it took Kelly a lot longer
to get there that it's taken Josh. Now it's a different league. Now,
does that draft pick put Brandon being on a lot of people's maps?
In essentially, let's say at some point everybody moves on. Yeah, so
at some point that he moves on, will he be sought after? And
that be kind of the shining star in his resume. You took this guy
that a lot of people said, Buffalo picked the wrong Josh. They did
this, he wasn't that good. He's turned out to be the best from
that class. Yeah, wholeheartedly. You know, I think Brandon. I
do think when when you look at every when you hit, you hit somebody
like Josh as he did, it obviously gives you some credibility more than others
who have missed. And there's a lot that have missed. I mean Doug
Walley being one of them, right, I mean, we had how many
quarterbacks that everybody thought they could be the Josh and they never were. So
I think him identifying that kind of talent had will carry him through his career
for a period of time. And he's had success here with McDermott. You
know, the question becomes where Brandon hasn't had the success that the Bills mafia
would like him to have. Is he's missed on the offensive line, and
he's missed on the defensive line. And I think where he's at right now,
where he's at right now bringing in the depth on the offensive line,
particularly interiorly at the guard, that that's going to really tell the biggest difference
on the offensive side that he said was number one Hardy. He said,
if Hardy stays healthy, he's going to really he's going to really generate a
lot of interest around the NFL because he views he views Hardy healthy as a
as a younger Tarik Hill. He said, that's how talented he is.
Oh wow, that's how talented he is. He goes, but the way
that they treated his soft tissue injury and his foot down in New Orleans is
different than what the Bills training staff would do. And so he said,
is you know, he's been working with him since he's been in he seems
to be good, you know, and that type of injury when you have
a lot of repetition. It'll see how he is coming out of training camp.
And I think they aren't going to overburden him through training because he has
that tendency with that soft with that foot injury. He said, but that
kid could be a superstar. He could be the next Tree Kill, which
I think is fantastic because that's what the NFL is moving to. You got
Trek, you got Debo, you got those guys. Number two was how
competitive are we in that in the interior line. That's the second thing that
that's what his focus is right now. We've got the weapons on the edges,
We've got the guys and you know, the running backs with Harris there.
Now they've got some good, strong depth in the running game with Cook
and he really thinks that they've they're heading the right direction. Now. The
big question is offensive line, and that's gonna be time, and that's gonna
be cohesiveness and how these guys coming together Josh is gonna make them better.
The question is will they will Spencer Brown step up and not become a laughing
stock like he was last year, and will that offensive line provide Josh some
breath? That's the key, and that's is what's gonna make the difference,
because the Dolphins killed them last year. Number two is Ken freaking Dorsey.
Oh he sucked. Yeah, he was horrible as shit, it was.
And if you watch that Miami Dolphins defense, you watch that game again,
Yeah, and you see what they did in the second quarter, how they
brought everybody up to the line of scrimmage and they just freaking pression them because
because of the wake Ken was so predictable in his play calling. They hammered
it and the offensive line was confused and they just man handle the Bills.
The Bills squeaked it out, thank god, but the Bengals hammered him.
And that was the biggest difference that all going in was what is Dorsey's development
going to be moving forward? All right, we will, We'll take a
moment. We'll find out all about Europe and people telling running backs to go
on strike. Let them go on strike, kid me go on. If
you find yourself hurt on the job and you don't know where to turn,

it's not that I said he'd have to be interesting. I won't even cut

a show him your Kendal. The how was Europe? Oh my god?
It was the best time, you know, And when you have I mean
your kids are older, and you were spending time with your sons, you
know, and anybody who has older kids that are listen, you know,
you spend like I heard read the STATISTI you spend like seven or eighty percent
of your time with your kids from when they're born to like when they're twelve
years old. And then the remaining thirty or twenty percent of your time you
spent over the next until you die. And so when our trip to Europe
was, we were together twenty four seven, my kids twenty twenty one and
eighteen years old, spent twenty first seven. Mean, we're in a hotel
room that was no bigger than this table in Paris, and it was the
room is big enough for a bed, a walkway on each side, and
then a walk away to the bathroom and that was it for three guys.
And you know, I mean, who the hell ones hanging out with their
dad? It was it was a blast. It truly was like one of
them as an adult. It's the best vacation I've ever had. Really.
Yeah. Wow, Yeah, And I mean Paris is great. Anybody,
if you ever want to do a you know, an international trip, Paris
is absolutely phenomenal, is I say? And I'll you know, you guys
were joking about, you know, a man cards and whatever and this and
that. But the Paris is the most romantics they've ever been to cool,
most romantics every wan. I was with my two sons. Yeah, so
I'm gonna say, why do you say that? Then? So the buildings
are a certain height. There's only the buildings are constructed. It's like five
stories or six stories maybe, and that's it for the sharp people. Yeah,
I love short people love it. So it's not like this ominous like
New York City. You got skyscrapers here and there. You just feel you're
you're you're walking through canyons at time in New York City. Yeah, it's
like Kenya. And the architecture is like you know, there's a lot of
like balconies and floral different things. And the outside the buildings have, you
know, just the esthetics that are are soft. It's not like a box.
It's not like he's big. And there's all the restaurants are cafes.
All the restaurants have outdoor seating. Yeah, and the outdoorcepting is so interesting.
In America, you have outdoor seating and you're sitting on one side table
like dan Is and Calvin's down the other, and you sit and you face
each other when you go to eat there, you sit and you sit next
to each other and you face outside, so you can people watch. You
watch all the people walking by, all the different cars by. It's just
a very different feel, a very different I was gonna say, with the
vibe more relaxed. Yes, I've never been to Paris. My sister and
my nephew who is I think he just turned nine, so he was eight
last year, and he kept saying that he he saw similarity to the layout
of Paris compared to the layout of Washington, DC, where they like,
yeah, it's the same, the same city planner, same designer design Paris
and DC. Yeah, And I in the same and he picked it up.
I got this kid's like eight or nine, see that. And I
think in DC it's very similar, you know, in terms of building height.
For me, the building height and how they design that and how the
streets are laid out in terms feels. There's a lot of trees too.
Yeah, right, there's a lot. It's you know, it's green,
it's soft, it's you know, Eric City doesn't have any of that.
You know, Chicago doesn't have a lot of that. So that was the
big thing about Paris you know for me. And you know, the cafes
are there's you know, there's great food. Food is great, and there's
just wine. I mean, and it was you know, there's you just
order a simple bottle of wine. And it was fantastic. My kids liked
it because there's no drinking age. If you're with family there there's no drinking
age. Kindergardeners here you go, you know. And when in Paris there
was the Parisian So you guys smoked too. Oh my god, that's the
one bad thing about Paris. A lot of smoking and everybody's kids. Yeah,
it was the eight into twenty something ye rules that were smoking like chimneys.
It was. That was a bit annoying. And there's no laws against
the smoking inside inside right next to up. It was all over the place.
Yeah, that was the only bad thing about Paris for me. Uh.
Stefan Diggs was there at the same time we were there. He was
in a we were in one location. He was like two streets over from
us. Oh wow. Uh. He posted something on Instagram and Will was
watching it and he was literally two streets away from us. He was like,
let's go see stuff on him. Like, there's I'm not going to
see say hello to steff On Digsy walk around in his mink jacket and it's
ninety five degrees here in Paris Vain? Is that that's pretty vague? But
anyways, but yeah, it was great. And then we went to Normandy.
Yes, and we took a train to Normandy. The interesting thing about
Normandy for me, you know, do you remember you know you remember hearing
the beaches of Normandy. Well, for me, I thought Normandy was a
city. I thought it was a location. Normandy is like the state of
New York. It covers a territory. And and so we went to Normandy.
It was you know, the beaches in this and in the area itself,
and we did a tour there. We went, uh, we had
a local you know, French woman who gave us a tour. She was
phenomenal. Give you, you know, all the background to it. You
know, you watch Private Ryan as the thing, it's in your head.
So we're on the beaches of Omaha, the beach of Omaha, and I
could not get out of my head the vision of these eighteen to twenty two
year old kids just I mean, it was it was a surreal, you
know, very humbling experience that these young men sacrifice their lives so that we
could be there to have this experience. I mean, it's crazy. It's
almost eerie, it is. It was eerie. It was eerie. Yeah.
Um. And then we went to the nation or the beaches open for
swimming, and yeah, yeah they were, but they're not very It wasn't
a lot when we were there. There was not. So we actually stayed
at the far eastern end of the of the Normandy beaches and there was a
resort there that we stayed at. But the beaches were where they actually the
where the D Day occurred. They were not resorts there. There was none
of that. Yeah, she was almost like they were rather respectful to those
plays. So yeah, And and they even restrict like to sell the property
and stuff. There are some homes that were around there, but those were
all right, I guess are very restricted now and none of that stuff is
being sold. The National um Cemetery that's just down the hill above the beaches
of of of Omaha was unbelievable, most one of the most breathtaking, um
you know, humbling but yet but yet energizing because of the solitude in the
in the appreciation that was shown to the soldiers and how they did it in
a thought own into the graves and how they lined it them up and then
you look out and it's just beautiful vista into the ocean. That was amazing
and they did a great job. They have this, they have this memorial
and in the memorial, I could have stayed there for hours looking at memorial,
but it showed how the invasion occurred and then what they did and then
how the war ended up being being one in terms of the strategies, and
that was pretty cool. That is definitely something I think anybody has any interest
in world history and American history U to see that I would definitely recommend you
go. This was a recommendation of your your son, right, he wants
he wanted to go? Yeah, yeah, was now a rising senior.
Yeah. Um. We were actually at Disney at the Star Wars exhibit,
which I've now learned his closing um that experience. And we were there and
I said him, I said, where you wanted to? Where do you
want on vacation next? Where you want to go next? And he said,
I want to go to Normandy in Berlin. Yeah, and uh,
because he's a World War two he loves World War two stuff. And it
really was it was it's you know, for me, it's it was life
changing in the sense that when you look at the impact that what those kids
hid in their families, right and and but yet the world and then going
to Berlin after that was perfect. Two and a half days in Berlin was
unbelievable. Well, Berlin, I hear, is a beautiful city. I
don't know much about it beyond that, but you mentioned going to a did
you say concentration campaign? Was Sassin Hoochin or something, Sassin Hoochion. It's
just north of Berlin. About thirty minutes we took the train and it was
where Kilmer. Uh they designed the whole concent concept where they made all the
decisions and they did all the whatever that he did in that horrific circumstances.
Unbelievable. It was. It was one of the more emotionally humbling and horrifying
experiences I've ever had in my life. I would think horrifying. Yeah,
just being there, knowing what transpired and what occurred. And you know our
tour guide, who is blinner at that job, um, yeah, is
every day she talked about She's like, you know, these people were murdered.
You know, she must have said the word murdered one hundred plus times
during our tour. Uh. And she told stories and accounts of different things
that transpired. Uh. It was Uh, it truly was. It was
moving in the sense that you realize what could be in this world had the
Americans, in the British, in the in the rest of the world stepped
up collaboratively together to overthrow that. You know, you hear aybody read about
it. It's like, okay, yeah, we're living here in America.
Well yeah, but to be thereto into then feel that kind of anguish just
in the buildings and the stories was like it was, it was really moving.
It was inspirational in the sense that kind OF's like, Okay, look
now I understand why Americans are so important throughout the world. Yes, we
truly are. Yes, I mean more so, you know, and you
know, I think I hope it was good for my kids to see,
is that being an American is a responsibility interesting. It's a responsibility to the
interesting thing because often it's called the ugly American when you're overseas, right,
uh, that that sort of thing, even in places like France. Any
issue in France, because I know they're not touris for being angry at Americans.
I gotta tell you nothing. Yeah, they look first, you know.
The whole thing about them being a patient there is as impatient as any
American is when they're in a big city. If you're in a big city,
you're hurry, you gotta go place. You got tables, you got
stuff to do. You have that. The whole thing about the language and
all that, you know, does it make it easier do They? They
were fine to me. I mean they were very welcoming that you know.
I felt bad for you because he had a Bill's hat on it all there
was I ordered a glass one one of the one of the restaurants in Paris,
and then Luke tasted it and he was like, oh, can I
have a glass? And I was like, oh, let's just get a
bottle. And the waitress comes around, can we have a bottle of wine?
And she's like and three glasses. She's like, hey, a party.
I was like, I loved it, you know. And one of
Luke's favorite restaurants was was in Paris, and uh, the waitress and Luke
wanted her ordered a second meal and she and she was like, ah,
Americans with healthy appetites a little place called the McDonald's. So I didn't have
anything for me. Berlin was tougher, Okay, Berlin was tougher in the
sense that the Parisians their language has soft endings, and so everything kind of
ends on a very soft, more jovial, happier yes. And it's an
art form, right yeah, right, and and and so there you don't
feel like they might be looking at like stupid goddamn Americans, but they didn't
sound it and they smiles. Sounds nice. You're in Germany. And they
were like you ready order yeah, and I was like Jesus. And then
the guys smile, right, it's a little more and they got a bit
and uh. But then but in the same restaurant, you know, were
there and I was like, can I have a vodka water? Because you
know when when when life gives you lemons, you have poor vodka in it
and make a podcast, make a podcast. And I was like, kind
of a vodka water. He's like, no vodka and it was like vuca
and I have a vuca. So he's like yeah, and I was like,
can we have two? And he brings him out in a shot glass
and he's like a drink up. I was like, where's my water?
He thought we were shots, so again they were you know again, I
thought I found him very accepting. Um. You know, when we went
to Normandy, the resort we saved. Normandy was off the beaten path and
it was a small town um called. They would pronounce it uh koba um
and they're all the all the men who's weren't just French. Okay, thank
god for Google Translator. Yeah, thank god for Google trans Oh my god,
it's unbelievable. Uh. And it was a little frustrating for them.
Was a little frustrating for us because we didn't quite weren't able to communicate much
at all, but even they were smiling and like, very appreciative. And
you know, we tip like Americans. You know, the Europeans don't tip
that well. So in our resort we went to the restaurant. The first
day we tipped well, we tipped like Americans. The next day we showed
up. Everybody wanted to wait on us. Everyone. I thought it was
great. Yeah, I love him that. It was wonderful. I would
recommend anybody has adult children, yeah, or wants to experience it with somebody
who's gonna you know, he's an adult who can appreciate that different stuff.
Having doing that, and we did. Two and a half days in Paris,
two and a half days we went to the Louver, absolutely phenomenal.
I'm not an art guy. I'm a football guy. I'm not an art
guy. Louve amazing well. Is the best, one of the best experiences
in terms of that cultural thing I've ever had in my life. Two and
a half days in Paris perfect, not too much longer. Two and a
half days in Normandy was fantastic. Two and a half days in Berlin was
perfect. It was. It was a great, great, great time.
Yeah, And I just think it's interesting that your kid is the one who
really wanted to do that. Find that that, to me is the coolest.
So what's next up? Amsterdam in Vatican City? No, what's next
up is Ireland? The bills come porn in Tills Jacksonville. Yeah, bring
your Google translator, you might need that. The Lifetime was in London.
The guys that were bartending were worse than than Damian. Damian. I couldn't
understand, damn where they were saying. They're promoting an NFL in Germany,
because I know that's where New England's playing. I believe it is in Berlin.
I did not see that yet. No, no, but I got
again. We're we're on our tour going around Berlin, and so the thing
I would say is interesting for me, Berlin was the most interesting city because
you had architecture from you know, seventeen hundreds, and then you had Nazi
architecture, and you had Communist architecture. It was just like a square box.
And then you had capitalist architecture. So now the capitalists are there and
there's so now you have buildings that are twenty stories high to have these you
know, dynamic structures mixed in with all this other crap. Yeah, it
was really interesting. And and the people there, West Berlinners, you could
tell where are different than East Berlinners. You know you have that. Yeah,
you know, I'll say the Westbolinds were a little more accepting because they're
a little more open. Yeah. Yeah, because if they're used to it.
I mean, it's only been since nineteen ninety that East Berlin isn't not
an amazing crazy right, And what a short period of time that really really
is. Yeah, I know we're talking almost with thirty thirty years, but
still that's long in the history of the world. And they literally buy a
piece of the wall. They still have pieces of remaining. I was not
looking to buy a piece of the wall. We did go to the wall,
and that was an interesting really but I didn't understand and you know,
my high school history teacher is gonna be very disappointed in this. I didn't
realize there were two walls in Berlin. There was the Communist Wall and then
there was the Western Wall, and there there was a gap in between,
right, I did not Yeah, and you had a yeah, Jack,
we were there. Yeah, that was an interesting dynamic for me seeing how
that works. It's just so weird when the way human beings treat human beings,
the you know, the way we cut off, the way we put
those in concentration camps. We're going to do experiments just groups. It's amazing.
So it's funny you say that it's amazing. It was. It was
really started. It was startling to me. It was our tour guide in
Berlin talk to us about how what the Nazis did they believed in so he
understands why they did it. Yeah, I was like, right, are
you fucking well? I mean, this is what they were indoctrinated to do,
right right in their mind, they were making a better world for them.
He said, they actually believe what they did, Like the Nuremberg trials,
they actually they actually admitted and talked about what they did, and they
did it with pride because they thought what they did was correct. Uh.
And you know the point being is that, you know, when you have
people that have ideals and thoughts about things, even as bizarre as we may
think they are, there are people out there that have those ideas, which
is why being American has is such a responsibility on the world scales because we're
you know, the American way of thinking, in the way that we've been
brought up is really the consciousness of the world. I mean, they showed
us when we're in Berlin, they showed us. The Soviets built a monument
in Berlin in the middle of what would Hitler wanted the promenade to be that
would have led to the capital of the world. He had this design,
he had this whole thing that Hitler's whole concert was Berlin would be the capital
of the world, so the world would be German. And then so they'd
have representatives from America come to the capitol in Berlin because that would be just
like Washington, d c. Is US. And so the Germans gave him
the fuck you and they put this monument right which would be in the center
of the pathway to where the capital building, where Hitler had the design for
the capitol building. I found that to be hilaric. And and then the
Germans had a they had they called victory column, and they have the angel
facing France as a fuck you that we beat you and bounded you for all
these years after Napoleon, which I again I found that type of mindset that
they go to those lengths. It was like, what it's from these people.
But it is interesting when you say this about America, because America is
built on the idea of freedom and people getting out of those situations and coming
here before the better life. And it still is that way we get about.
This immigration system isn't exactly working the way we have it, but that
all of that is what's there. And so that collective conscience of freedom and
being able to freely not be controlled so much even though we have some I
mean, there's always gonna be a little bit, but I mean, you
know, like this idea of Hitler and you know, being in the Third
Reich or the communist parties or you see this stuff that goes on in Russia
and China and things that we don't have. That it also gave me context
of the importance of you know how you know, there's always we heard about
it with Trump and Clinton about the influence of Russia and our politics in our
worlds. That being in Berlin and hearing of the stories of the perspectives of
the people that live there gave me really in depth perception of how important our
politics are and why they're so interested, I mean, aren't the tour guides
talked about and each of our tours talked about American politics and how important that
and how much that influences and how how much it has it has an impact
on them and what they get or how how it influences their lives. That
to me was a whole I'm like, why does our polity I mean I
could I don't even know who the president of frances I don't care, but
the French, but the French care about who our president is because it affects
them, as you the Germans and the Soviets and everybody else around the world.
That to me was kind of like, you know, like wow,
this this is a you know, where we are, we have such privilege,
we have such you know. To me, it's not I grew up
here. I don't know the difference, right, And I think a lot
of people have taken that for granted to the point yeah, yeah, you
hate it, but yeah, there's so many people you want to switch spots
while the people are kin trying to come in. God, God, they'll
trade places with unbelieving in a heartbeat, because like the world, like Elon
Musk said, it. I agree one hundred percent. The world needs a
strong America or the world is left. Yes, well, you know,
and I'll tell you that that hit home to me. Our tour guide at
the concentration camp talked about there was an account in the Nuremberg trials or one
of the one of the high levels talked about how they there was a Jewish
doctor that went to get something from the end this grocery corner grocery store on
a Sunday night, and he never returned home and the family got notified later
and whatever, he committed a crime and this and that, and one of
the things that the tour guide said, and she said is that if it
weren't for the Allies, America could be that way. Weren't for what you
did in the in this in the young men in the thirties did to stop
that that would be the way it would be in New York City and wherever
you lived in America, because that's what the that's what it would be like.
Yeah. And I was just like, holy shit, yeah, I
mean to me, it wasn't real. And she said that, and there
I was like I got chills. I was like, holy shit, Yeah,
it sounds like something out of the DC universe, right, you know
Marvel movie guy, But it really happened. I mean exactly. My mom
was just bored. Ye yep. Like the Allies didn't tip the scale,
Like Germany could have won that war very easily if Hitler had just focused.
It sounds ridiculous, but he was spread so thin. He was fighting in
North Africa, he was fighting like on the West Side on the He's fighting
everywhere. And he had no idea how the United States could manufacture weapons.
He had no clue. I think. Didn't he write to Mexico and as
you know, yeah, we don't want the Nazis to come up with so
here comes to us. It was funny their tour guy, they give us
the trip around. Burlaine was I found him entertaining, but he was a
bit controver. Rschels. He said, the Americans need to appreciate the Soviets
for what they They're the ones who really ended the war. They're the ones
who captured Berlin. They're the ones who killed Why Hitler killed himself because we
came in or they came in, and they're the ones who captured Berlin.
The Americans did in the British didn't. Sylvius did. And he's like,
the Americans don't give them enough appreciation, and I was just like, they're
a bunch of communist dicks, are you kidding? They did it so they
could take over Poland and everything else they had their own self. They were
relying with the Germans until like Hitler pulled a one eighty on Stalin and right
and well, and they also this guy also told me that, you know,
there were more Polish Jews killed or I'm sorry, Russian Jews killed than
German Jews killed. I didn't know that. I didn't either. And he
also talked about how when the Russians came into Berlin to take over the rifen
Stock, which was the capitol building, they ended up losing. And I
could be wrong on this, but he said something like three hundred soldiers died
from them to take over this one building. That was sacrifice. That's how
important it was to them to overthrow Hitler. Um. So it wasn't Americans
that lost three hundred shoulders soldiers. And I was just like, okay,
so you guys can have that's why we gave them East Berlin, right,
that's yes, Uh, running backs are bitching real quick go from World War
Two just in terms of it just switched up. Yeah, it's all fingers,
it's all in the appreciate what they have in America, touring Europe,
owning the bills at some point. My grandfather didn't die face down in the
bud That's right. You couldn't get six million dollars guaranteed. I'm seeing that.
Uh. I think it was uh is it? Well? The sa
quan is I think the catalysts behind a lot of this, But it's was
a griffin who's telling people uh rg three RG three, Yeah, saying to
strike. Running backs strike because they're not getting what they're worth. Are we
A lot of people are saying that because I know they can't. It can't
happen. Well, it can't happen. And and I mean running backs they
can start our value or not. And then you know, someone of that
stature, maybe they deserve to be paid. I don't know, this is
what they signed up for. But this was look sorry that we're getting back
circle. We live in a capitalist You get paid your worth. Yeah,
um, And is you know Derrick Henry has a hell of accountract he does.
And and unfortunately in that position. You can only work for so long.
You can only take that grind and that that punishment for so long.
You know, there's a lot of construction workers I'm sure to listen to the
show that can only do that job for so long because it wears on your
buy and does that. You know, we're you know who's stucking up for
them, right? You know, it's the same thing with the running backs,
you know, And well, I think the bitch with the sa Quon
thing is that Daniel Jones gets this money because they believe they can build around
him. Whether or not that to see hasn't seemed to have been proven out
yet. But again we gotta you know, second to year coach, he
has a legitimate gripe. But at the end of the day, so I
think that's I think that's where people were complaining a little bit on sa Quan's
behalf. The rest of this is all about, Yeah, running backs need
to be paid. I don't know. Look, it's a business man,
you know it's a business. Now, do I think Daniel Jones is a
better quarterback with sae Quon Barkley one hundred and ten percent? The question is
how much are you willing to pay him. What what sa Quan believes his
value is in what the organization bleeves his value is is obviously different. But
you know the thing for me is when you look at it and you compare
say Quon to to Derrick Henry or is there is that a fair comparison?
I mean that's for the owners decide, right, that's for them to decide.
If they say no, then Sakon can go someplace else and then he
can get the money someplace else. But nobody else is gonna pay him.
So that's establishing his value. I mean, I look at it, um
what I love to have sa Quan? Sure do I think sa Quan can
make Josh Allen better? Not as much as he's gonna make Daniel Jones better,
which to me means he's more valuable to the Giants than he is to
the Bills. Right, that's where you get your value at you and you
know the league is a copycat league. What wins today in the NFL is
different than it was ten years ago, and that value shifts before the running
backs are getting all the money and the receivers were getting crap. I mean,
Travis Kelsey is the best receiver in the NFL. But he's he's a
top paid tight end, but he's like the tenth highest paid receiver. Yeah,
well, why isn't he Why isn't he uh you know, boycotting and
why isn't he striking because he's not getting the money? Why because it's just
not the way it works. No, it's not. It's not, especially
not in the NFL. You're right, and it is sort of that.
I like that. I like I like freaking guys kill me. That's why
we got James Cook on rookie contract. Harris's comment, he took a little
paid cut from the because he knows that the Bills are an up and coming
team and the Patriots don't quite have what it takes. And uh, here
you go. Man started season comes Wednesday, and Wednesday it all starts,
all right. We'll wrap it up for Greg Connors, back from Europe and
ready for training camp. For Dan Barilla with a new band yep pacemakers.
For Kevin Muir, who's got a new puppy at home and he's just loving
it. I'm Bill Moran. We'll see you tomorrow. Didn't know what to
do. I'm kind of tv gonna do the letter to you,
