Podcast. Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on,
Thanks for telling a friend. That's how we spread the word about the pirate
ship, and thanks for supporting those that support us. Whoo, Dougie,
fresh in the house. In the house, baby tuk you fresh in the
house. Did you ever play? Uh? I played it all pick up
basketball at all? Man, I'm looking to hit her height. I'm thinking
no, he said, I played it all. I don't know. I
used to play basketball all the time. You played basketball all the time,
Yes, okay outside in the summer, okay on the winter. I mean
so, I've heard legend of pick up basketball games four years. For years,
I had a buddy who was like six seven, and he played at
the y and he would be some days he'd leave there. He'd be so
pissed off after these games because there was a guy that would yell his own
stats as he went up and down the court six points, three blucks to
assists that would get annoying, and some of these games get like really really
intense. So this weekend my entire not my entire family, I shouldn't say
that. My mom and my dad, who have been separated or divorced after
thirty five years thirty six years of marriage. They were in town because it
was my son, my middle son's college graduation. Yes I heard. I
listened to some of that, and the weekend was fantastic. I really could
not have had stuff for that half hour when a final when I when I
went, oh at the restaurant, I was so pissed that you were.
I was annoyed. I feel it. I was annoyed. Let me tell
you believe this. Let me tell you what Doug. Doug's referring to you.
If you didn't catch it, was that Sunday I talked about that.
Yeah, it must have been. So we had a great dinner. I
had it at Cobblestone on Maine, which is a fantastic sponsor to the podcast.
But but I've known the owner for years, and I decided, uh,
my my kids and their mom were staying in Webster was going to be
close to where they were staying. I thought, all right, we'll do
it here. There was arrangement. How do I say this, Doug,
You're taking me down the road. I'm sorry, No, it's okay.
It was originally going to be like h Jordan's mom saying to me, Hey,
how about we have it at my friends? Uh, they can rent
out like this pool room because she lives in a condo and they have a
beautiful pool room. And I'm like, this isn't a high school graduation.
Does I have a sit down dinner? It's only going to be your parents,
my parents. You know, he's got about twelve people. I said,
we'll do it that way. I just thought it'd be easier and it
would be uh, and we'll have it at Cobblestone the Main because it's close
to where you're staying, right, I thought that would be great. And
my dad has Parkinson's so it had its own private entrance. They were fantastic.
The food, they're honest to God, is perfect for something like this.
So I can't find the the honoree for a while, and everybody's kind
of standing around and it's getting awkward and uncomfortable and we are you doing a
toast? You like, oh no, I wasn't even ready to do toast.
But we haven't even an order, but everybody's looking to see where they're
going to sit because they want to sit, Like my dad needs a chair
to get in and out of right. So okay, so we got him,
but the should be the head of everybody. Can He's going to be
at the head of the table, but then who's going to sit near him?
And the grandparents are kind of jockeying for positioning and and I'm I'm I'm
getting annoyed. And I go upstairs and they're ordering guinness, and I'm and
I just say, I'll get you whatever you want. What are you doing?
You're holding everything up? Oh what, I just graduated. I can't
have a drink with my older brother. I go, you two fucking clowns
are going out afterwards, Right, you're going out. I'm celebrating all my
life going to be doing this off. What do you mean you can't have
it? You just graduated college? What the fuck are you thinking? So
I got families here exactly right. So I said, come on down,
and I said, I'll buy anything you want. But since you're already buying
it, you're paying for these. I was like, you know this stupid
ass, right, But anyway, that annoyed me. But the pickup basketball
I didn't realize. So my fourteen year old son, UH has grown a
little bit and lost weight since Easter, and he's playing basketball. He's played
a lot of street ball, UH never an organized thing. Tried to get
his buddies and sort of get a semi organized basketball going, and then tried
out for the high school team because he's going to be a freshman next year
and was cut on alms like first day. Kind of really crushed him.
But he had never played organized basketball. It's way different than streetball. You
knowunder stand what I'm saying, Like you just just the nuances of the game
and stuff. So what I loved was he didn't give up. He found
an AAU team, tried out for them, made the team. It's going
to practices and is kind of improving all the time. And when he was
here over Easter, we had gone to a gym and wound up in a
pickup game at lunchtime. You played. I did not want to. I
did? You did though I did yea. And so it's mostly guys in
their twenties, thirties, forties. I'm fifty two, you dunking on him
and calm fouls. I was not. I did not call any fouls.
I had, I think a steal, a block shot, and I scored
one basket. My kid scored like six baskets, but my team won.
So now he wants to go back there. Well, I had I rained
some stuff to free my schedule so I could spend some time with him since
he's in town. And last night, but we didn't get to the gym
until almost thirty and there's some intense full court basketball games going on, and
some guys see me and go, hey man, long time no see?
Like they remember. I think it was because I fell there in the game
and they all were worried that I wasn't gonna be able to get up.
I go, I don't know why you remember me. Maybe because I honestly,
and I don't mean this any other way. I was like the only
white guy. Jamison and I were the only white guys playing in this pickup
basketball game, so I think they sort of stood out and the guys were
cool like, hey man, long time no see. And I said,
now and I here, he's gonna he wants to play. So the games
are going on, we wait about an hour, hour and a half.
Finally, like when they're down on one end of the court, he's out
shooting and some other guys were doing the same thing, and one guy goes
all right to Jamison, he's fourteen, you you got next, meaning you'll
play in the next game. Well, the hour and a half to playing
no games ever materialized. They completely dissolve after that guy start leaving. So
now it's like it's like eight o'clock, right, So Jamison, another game
develops, but they're gonna do half court three on three and he's shooting on
his own, just shooting around, and I figure, well, this is
the way it is. Is the way it is, but I'm not going
to force to get you in a game. These guys, or a lot
of some of them were you know, kids still playing in college. I
think one was an MCC coach and you know, some younger guys. He
had the team set up, They had the team set up. So he's
shooting around and a short guy comes in and I only know his height because
he announces it. Short guy comes in and he's uh. So he's says
to Jamison, Hey man, I want to get some cardio in you mind
if I want to play one on one. So Jameson's like sure, So
the guys muscularly goes Jameson hesitates at first, that's what I should say.
He hesitates, he doesn't answer right away, and the guy goes, I'm
not that good. I'm only five six okay. Now I'm just sitting off
to the sidewatch. I'm just watching this. Yeah, that was the guy.
He uses his height as a disadvantage in basketball. So they start playing
one on one and the guy is just shooting like it's kind of making take
it and he's just shooting from outside the three point line and Jamison can really
stop it. And I think in the first game they were playing to seven.
I was half paying attention and I think the first game was like seven
to three. Guy goes running again, so Jamison says he's sure. So
now the guy's not hitting the shots. They're clanking off the rim, Jamison's
getting the rebounds. Jamison starts hitting some shots. So Jamison hits a shot
and and then the next one the guy he so he hits it. He
hits what looks like a three pointer. He was behind the three point line.
Now they're counting like one point for any basket two points behind the three
point line. So the guy announces the score as he gets the ball.
He's gonna go and he goes this end. Jameison goes, no, I'm
up by one. I hit a three pointer, and he goes night and
he goes, yeah, I did it over here. This guy takes the
ball and he goes, no, man, you were staying here. I'll
give you three points all day. You hit a three pointer, I'll give
it to you all day, all day, man, all day. Bro.
And I'm watching this and I go I'm not going to get involved because
I'm never gonna get involved. I always believe in the rules of the playground
when it comes to like my kids and stuff. You got to learn to
play, you got to learn to deal with different people. If things get
too intense, I'll say, hey, hey, let's count in it.
It right. So I'm watching this kind of develop So Jamison finally goes all
right, fine, the guy goes, no, I'll give you three.
If you think he got three, I'll give you three. So it's one
of these guys like really intense and I'm going this is now a one on
one I watched I swear to God. The lower the skills, the higher
the intensity, and the arguments and pick up basketball. It's the only thing
I learned from watching all this. I go, holy shit. So the
guy is going back and forth. So I think he wins that game by
a point or two over Jamison, right, but he's not able to hit
the outside shots anymore. He must have gotten tired and he may have worked
out beforehand. I don't know. I'm not knocking it right. So the
next game starts and it's getting a little intense. The guy's trying to come
now inside the paint. And my fourteen year old son is six foot and
one hundred and seventy five hundred and eighty pounds, not super strong, you
know. His coaches are telling me he needs to build his upper body.
He's fourteen, he's going through puberty. It's not fully developed yet, right.
So he blocks a shot on the guy, and then the next thing
I see the guy like pulling at his shirt and Jamison stops him one point.
He goes, man, he can't do that, and he goes,
do what do what? Bro I'm just playing defense. So I get up
and I go to the bathroom and I come back and my oldest son's there.
My oldest son is like six' eight and he's eyes are the size
of saucers. When I walk back in the gym, and he goes,
you may want to end this, and I go what. He goes,
you may want to end this. And I'm watching and the guy's getting pissed
and he announces. He gets up to the top of the key. He
has the ball when I come back in, so it's his ball, and
he announces the score and Jamison goes, no, I'm up by a point,
and he goes and you know that. And the guy's like, fine,
fine, whatever. And so it's like six to five. They're playing
to seven. So he steps back and he hits a shot. He just
steps back and Jamison doesn't even go in. He hits the shot and he
goes, there's seven and he starts stopping off the court like losing his mind.
Doug, I've never seen it. So I'm watching this and he goes,
trash, I hate this, fucking Jim trash. You're all trash.
And Jamison says something to him, but I can't hear what it is,
and the guy yells something over his shoulder and he just like takes both hands
and slams open the door to the gym as he's leaving, and Jamison says
something, So I stepped. I'm now standing up, I think, without
even realizing it, I got up because I'm watching this and I go so
I open the door to the guy, go how old are you? Because
he's yelling back of Jamison, and he goes. He looks at me,
he goes, what does that have to anything to do? That has nothing
to do with anything. He's talking all kinds of shit. And I said,
well, he's fourteen, and you're right, I'll talk to him if
he's talking shit. I couldn't hear what was being said. This guy was
loud. I'm not saying that my kid was innocent. This was just an
odd display. So you notice people like that, Yes, they've got nothing
else better in their life to bring attention to him in a negative way.
Well, I don't know the guy was I do. The guy had like
cool guy hair, so shoulder length, curly, all one length, like
just just below his ears. And he was muscular and as he said,
I don't I wouldn't know five to six. It wasn't overly muscular. He
was just just starting through and he had and he hadn't. He was hitting
some good jump shots. Look, he probably would have beat me. I
didn't even care. I just was like taking the whole fun out of it.
I was caught off guard by all this, and I just instinctively said,
and I thought, I said it kindly like, I said, hey,
how old are you to just go? And he goes, what does
that have to do with anything? I said, well, he's fourteen.
He goes, he's talking, because he's talking all kinds of shit, is
what he said. And I said, uh, he's fourteen, and I
will talk to him about that. And the guy yells back, get better.
Get what do you say? Get better? Little Oh yeah, get
better, little boy, get better, little boy, screaming this over my
shoulder. I hear, get taller, little boy. And the guy goes
really loud, yeah, get better, little boy. He goes, I
will. I hear this from behind me. I will, But you'll never
get taller, little boy. The guy's fucking ahead practically explodes Doug. I
thought that for sure the guy was gonna come charging back in. He just
stares, stops his foot and rushes off into the locker room and I was
like, holy fuck. I go, you're fourteen and you're talking shit.
I think the guy was somewhere in his twenties. I would say, somewhere
between twenty four and twenty eight. I don't know. I certainly wasn't trying
to even defend my kid in no way. The only thing I would have
done is try to prevent any kind of hands getting on anybody there. I'm
gonna step in. But for whatever reason, and I probably shouldn't even have
done that. I did open the door and go, hey, man,
how old are you? And he goes, what does that have to do
with it? He's talking shit? And I said, he's fourteen, and
I will talk to him about that. And so Jamison said, I wasn't
talking shit. He goes, the guy was, and I had seen,
but it was the strang. I go, man, pick up basketball.
Now, I see why guys get in fights like all the time. I
mean, this is where like, I don't know, you're five foot six
and you think you got the reach of shack and the attitude of rotten right,
I have no idea what happening in the stands looking at you and they're
gonna sign you to ring over your keyboard Monday morning. But yeah, you
know, and hey, look, basketball is great exercise. It's it's good
community stuff. I encourage anybody who likes playing. But I go, God,
don't take it so intently. I mean, this guy was intense because
at one point he even when when Jamison was leading, he ran over and
basically charged at him. So Jameson backs up and sort of the ball is
down front him. He just snatches the ball away and it was. But
at the same time, I go, you gotta learn to play with guys
like this and learn how to get better. You don't get better by playing
down. You only get better by playing up. And the guy was had
a little more. He was more seasoned than Jamison. I don't know if
he was good or bad, but he was more seasoned. But I guess
he couldn't get a shot inside it. Jameson was just like crushing on the
inside. Oh God. And then I'm going, this is all I did.
It's like my mother's day. Oh yeah, let my fourteen year old
come home with a black eye. There you go. You never hear about
that. Okay, this is what we're gonna tell your mother. Okay,
make your checklist. I opened the door and I didn't see you. There.
I go, this is this is insanity. Insanity, doesn't I yelled,
did a guy today? You did? I did? Why would you
yell at the guy I was on Hudson and Clifford. Yeah, Hudson and
Clifford in the city of Rochester, in the city. No, I'm just
for people who don't may not. No, not not the nicest area.
Nice. There are a lot of nice people there are, you know what
I'm saying. It's really the rotten apples that spoil for the whole bunch.
Everything light turns green, and this gentleman who was over his twenties just starts
walking and starts pointing at everybody calm down and telling people to go. I
didn't go tell him. He's like directing traffic, is trying to get across
the street, and I yelled, there's a fucking green light, you asshole.
By the way, a red hand means don't walk in case you don't
know it. And he's just out there just trying to, you know,
across the street. And I'll get to it when I just nonchalant. I'm
just like, But Hudson and Clifford a nice area, of Rochester, the
city, I don't know. Yeah, not nice, but Cliff Clifford always
always there's worse problems. There's yeah, there's probably was all over the city.
Yeah there are, but anywhere I just uh, it's cleaner than others,
which is sad. Did you uh? Did you flip them off?
Give him the fame if you ever need a ride, right, don't call
me, listen to my listen to the podcast, and I don't be mentioning
your name. But that's how accellents happened. The problem with that is you
don't know who's gonna get an accent. It could be a single mother with
a baby in the back and she swerves out, she gets an accident.
Now there's something wrong with her and the baby. That's it's not all single
guys that are gonna get in the air bag and then you're you know,
there's just no thought sense. There is no thought This is no stupid.
The world is got. They went from walk and don't walk. That wasn't
working, so they had to put a red hand that people still can't figure
out what to do when they comes on, Well they can. They just
don't care. I don't care. They don't care. Which is more of
a narcissistic thing. Right, I think that we're all or our society is
way more narcissistic than ever before. Right, all the selfies, all the
things, you know, all this look at me, that's not really hurting
anybody. You're taking it at all. But I'm just saying like that,
that's self important. I don't take selfies. I just go about me sometimes.
Good Mother's Day for you. Yeah, I saw my mother, my
stepmother. I get my mom a picture, and then I get my step
mother. Oh, I got her a bird feeder that spins at the bottom
so when the squirrel gets on it. Oh yeah, you're supposed to go
one hundred miles an hour and throw the scroll. I need a video of
that. I need a video that in the front yard. Now, I
like that. There's bird feeders too that you can put. You can just
lift your window and it's like it's a bay windows. Yeah, yeah,
that looks kind of cool. And uh oh that's nice. Now you got
that for your You got the lousy picture for your mom, yes, and
you got the nice bird feeder for your stepmother. Wanted what was the picture

Mom, I'm the biggest turkey in your life. I I took my
mom out to uh like a brunch that wasn't a brunch, and it started
out slow and ended fantastic. Good we had. We had, I honestly
got. I was worried about this weekend because you know, my uh,
it's a slow night for restaurants. The night before because nobody goes out.
You can't see your mom hungover Father's Day. On the other hand, working
at bars, everybody's out the night before because you can't face your father a
good hangover in a reason, And Drake, I'm just saying, No,
what I was gonna say is I was nervous this weekend with the graduation because
I hadn't seen spend any time with my kid's mom or her parents in five
six years. So this is the first time everybody's been together. Yeah,
yeah, wow. And so it's so much so that my son at Easter
time, we're down at my mom's and he's like, oh, I just
worried, like there's gonna be a who's going to start the fight? Who's
gonna And I guess you'd worry whatever whatever age you are, you get so
many scenarios, right, So I said to him, I go, why
would you even think that I have time to think? I go, I
would never ever do anything, never do anything. And uh, you know
it's getting divorced. I just saw what was Yeah, Rory, yeah,
yeah, we'll get to that in a little while. Because Rory lives here,
yes, his wife does, and uh they have a house in rondoqoint
anymore. Well, and they also think they're gonna work it out. I
don't think so. No, no, no, this is a pre nup.
It's all out done. And she didn't go to uh, she didn't
go to the Masters where she normally supports them. He came in twenty second
and she has a he has uh he has a membership to OKILL. Yes
he does, and I don't know if he's gonna still have it or not.
I just I just texted the president of OKILL. You did, yeah,
and he wrote back on haha, I don't know right, literally,
I don't know. I don't know what's gonna happen. So yeah, well
we'll get into uh all that stuff. But I hadn't seen these people.
So there everybody has some nice pictures of the guys and yeah, sends with
you, and yeah, I got everybody. The pictures were great. I
take everybody was great. Everybody was I could not have been better, because
this could have gone terribly wrong. So well that the boys left. All
the boys, the youngest went with my son's godmother. My Jordan's godmother.
Godmother was there and they were staying at her house, so she took the
youngest kid back because she has a kid his age. They were going to
hang out. The two older boys were uber and out and doing the town.
So now it's just me, my ex, my parents who are divorced
together, and her parents. And I say, anybody who want to play
yucre? And I said, he came with the jacks, right, I
say, anybody like an after dinner drink? And my mother, my mother
in law I'm technically I'm still married, goes absolutely. So that my father
in law for some reason gone out to the car. I think one of
the boys had left something. So he comes back in and he says,
all right, are we ready? And I said, well, uh,
I said, I asked everybody if they'd like to go upstairs and have a
drink. And he said, oh, what did my wife say? And
I said, uh, I said would you like to come upstairs? And
he said what did my wife say? I said, she said absolutely?
He said why are you asking me? I said, because I wanted to
give you an out? I was trying. I was trying to help you
out. Just let you know what's going as So then we went upstairs prolonging
this, and everybody was why was I prolonged know him, Oh what did
my wife say? What was the matter? He was, it was just
being funny. But I I just so we all went upstairs. Linger was
he busting? Your boss busting? And then once I got up, once
we got everything, it was great. Everybody was. I mean he at
one point even came over with two drinks. I just did one, just
I just did one, and I figured that that would be it. You
know, I could feel it. I got an internal clock. We all
have an internal clock. And when you've been doing this for as long as
I have, I know, like conversation has gone too long. You know,
it's like comedy. You got it, you just you know, so
I figured, uh, we wrapped it up. But man, I was
nervous, and it just worked out perfectly. It could not have gone better.
The whole weekend start to finish, even the Mother's Day snaps went pretty
good. Then well back and forth, your mama, Yeah yeah, I

Evil, resting up Long Long is when the sun goes down. Christine,
you're not gonna sing along. You're just at the concert. I sure was.
Now you guys, I know you're. You and Randy are are sharing
a microphone, which seems cruel and unusual punishment for for you Chris him.
But the get your gig on dot org is what we're here to talk about.
But I have to ask and maybe you'll know this. The rumor was
that Kenny Chesney had a place in Canadagua or No. I knew he had
a rum for a while and I don't know if he still does with Constellation
brands. Yeah, so he used to come in and spend time and that's
why he I saw him more than once at Semac, which is a small
venue for him. I mean he's playing stadiums. I think he knew somebody
in Canadaga that he stayed with. Okay, okay, all right, but
that I remember going to when it was still the Sandbar, before before they
decided to get all fancy and ruin it. Uh. And I had bought
a bucket of coronas we're gonna go see the Kenny Chesney show, and I
stick the lime into corona and I turn it upside down and as I come
around, it just sprays like fourth people at the bar, and I just
wanted to I mean, you ever just want to fucking disappear. She's spinning
everywhere. That was like, that was my Kenny Chesney moment for the uh.
For everything here, but get your gig on what happened over there?
What's going on? It's like all of a sudden, now there's a whole
website and blowing up. But I went on the website. It's every band
in every venue, I think, and the greater I don't know. We
go Syracuse. Yeah yeah, well, I mean we don't do a lot
of cercuse and a lot of Buffalo. No, but there were venues.
I saw Skinny Atlas on there. Yeah, I saw Skinny at It's one
of our favorite places. Right. We do balloons in Ellicottville, certain places
that we've been that we love and we include them and local bands play there,
so okay, we try to keep them. So this is really like
the Facebook page, much like it was the comprehensive hub of where everything is
happening in our area. Would that be fair to say, yeah, and
then this is now, but it goes beyond that because you can find out
all about Randy and Christine and then you can find I think Frank to Blaze
has a a the F word. It's just his blog on there. I
always liked Frank. One time I lost a bet. We we had a
high school fantasy football when I was doing morning radio, and whoever lost had
to do a bood wah photo, so I so they came in. Frank
hired him. He was taking the pictures. He got a makeup artist and
I put on like I think I was in my underwear and I was I
had some kind of yeah, yeah I did. I had pastis that is
true? I did have Pasti's and I had like a feather boa and there
were pictures and it was awful, and I was on a leather couch and
Frank sinavituers these pictures still existed. I don't know, Doug, I don't
know if I can find them, but Frank does have him. I always
loved that guy. And then he had the frantic flat flaptops. And then
you bring Becca in here and Becca and the Bobcats. But you did the
website right, you designed it? Is that what you do? Conduce help?
Yeah, websites by awesome website websites by beck yep. Yeah. And
then so does that mean every day she has to upload all the gig because
you guys go through why I trained Randy, and Randy uploads everything. We
work on the list, We get it all ready to go, and every
night he uploads it. How long does it take? Probably an hour?
Yeah to upload? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. To work on the
site. Every night we're on We're on it three or four hours a night,
three or four hours at night. Yeah, yeah, to make sure
that it's up together. Yeah. So beck and the Bobcats, bobcatspcats.
Excuse me, that is terrible that I would say wrong, but it's rockabilly.
And then you've got to gig at Murph's on Saturday. Where is Murph's
right around the corner from night, right around the corner from you. Yeah,
you're gonna go there and get your bop on. I would, I'm
dja, I would, but I'm djaing a wedding this week. I would
go to I am seeing an event that night. But uh, that's if
you go over the Stutson Street bridge from Lake Avenue. It's in a market
with hermas and uh it's on the end. And they came over from Ironoquoy
where right next to the uh house guitars. Yeah, yeah, jeremiahs about
that or somebody about that, and they moved over there and they've been doing
quite well. But Murph unfortunately passed his son runs it now. Was huge
into music, so when you walk in right to the left, he made
a big enough stage to really rocky. So it sounds like a great place
to play it is. Yeah, so okay, And then the Sideburns are
here as well. Matter of fact, I'm so excited that you're here actually
because years ago and I was I AM seeing something. We kept calling your
mom tambourine mom, because she got up and played tambourine with the band.
Was it your band? Yeah? So we were in a fall. You
know where you were? And no, I know exactly where this was.
It was the beer market over by college town. It was not a gig.
I was just in there with my kids. I think somebody might have
gotten released from the room because we had a fast pass and we went over
there and I'm watching a need alcohol and now I get on the radio when
I go. It was so funny because I think one of their moms got
up and started playing tambourine, and I think I was being mocking and probably
rude, and your mom was a great sport and she yeah, so this
is Was that the band? Then? No, so it was my good
friend Pete who was the lead singer, and myself. It was just a
duo and then now it's a full band. Yeah, because you were just
kids, I thought, yeah, right. I don't like to think well,
I would say, I would say you are by comparison to me,
but but boy, I'm pictured in my head. I thought you look like
you were teenagers when you were playing. Would that be fair? Mid twenties,
mid twenties. All right, Well, yeah, I mean, look
if I go back to nine oh two one oh, they were all in
their twenties maybe thirties, playing teenagers. So I guess it would pass.
That's right, I remember laughing. And then she would call up every once
in a while to the radio show. Is tambourine mom? And what is
your involvement with the website? Then? So the technical is like the marketing
specialist. So as people come in and say, hey, I want to
get on the list, or I have an event, I come through and
I just work with them kind of like clients, what are you thinking?
Like bands may want to do advertisement, what are you thinking? Here's what
we offer. And then Beck and I go back and forth as far as
you know this band wants this, and she really kind of execute it.
Okay. So I'm kind of the middle person that bridges it together. Okay.
And so you you kind of help with the design and then working with
the bands who want to advertise on the site. How does somebody if somebody
wants to advertise on the site, how do they contact right through the website?
Right right through the website website? Yeah, how do I get if
I have a gig. How do I get that on there? So we're
still doing the gig list the way we've always done it. We put it
together. We love the bands that make a schedule for the month posted at
the beginning of the month. We basically take a snapshot of that and we
can just plug them in there. You go to like every band's Facebook paste,
if not every band, but the bands that don't post, and the
bands that don't let us know where they're playing, we have to look up,
gentlemenly you look it up, who's playing at this venue? Right?
And if we can't find who it is, we kind of have to figure
it out, which is what's so time consuming. But there's a lot of
bands now who have gotten way better at posting their monthly gigs. They send
them to us, they post them on the site, you know, the
page, and then those are the things we put together for the list and
then upload to the website. I keep thinking back to seeing him play,
and because it was so long ago, right my kids were little living,
but I remember being impressed to how good they were because they came in,
you set up, we were there eating and then he got up and it
wasn't like a crowd that had come there necessarily to see you guys. It
was filled with people, college kids, all this, and you want that
whole crowd over. And your mom helped with stam marine mom. It was
pretty good. All right, let's get down to some of the nitty gritty
with this stuff. I gotta think that there has got to be how do
I say this, some drama when things are wrong? Do people ever get
mad at you? I mean, you're doing a service, you're doing it.
No, and I don't and I don't and I apologize sometimes, all
right, And that's not always our fault, I would agree. I mean,
if you're spending as much time as you are and you put this into
a website. But I just know how people can get sometimes. I was
talking before he got in here. My youngest son was in town because one
of my boys graduated college, so the whole family was here, and I
took him to play a pickup basketball game at the gym, and he wound
up in a game of one on one and this guy said, I just
want to get some cardio, but and don't worry. I'm only five six
and my kid's fourteen. He's six foot. While I went to the bathroom
and during their third game, my oldest son, who is huge, he's
like six eighty, is standary. His eyes are his massaucers and he goes,
he goes, you may want to end this. I don't know what
was happening. This guy in his mid twenties was like losing his mind and
my kid and it's John back at him and it's going back and forth,
and I go this. I have to think cover bands in the local music
scene and local back like you know, I'm not gonna say inter midal pick
up basketball games. This is the only place where the higher the intensity of
the argument, the lower the skills of the player. That's the only thing
I can think. Right, does that sound fair? I mean I don't
know. I would think the same thing with music. I'm getting mad about
something that I have no control over doesn't mean anything. That means that they're
not that good anyway. Well, I can tell you one thing. Yes,
when we started this website, and it took us a year to get
this rolling with Becca and Mike, yeah, you know, we put in
our we said we know we're going to piss people off. Why when we
do the website, because why would people get pissed off when it's one comprehensive
thing, and it sounds to me, honestly, just look sounds stupid.
But we knew people. But it's all inclusive. It's all inclusive. It's
everybody is welcome to post their gigs. Here. We're trying to give the
consumer one place to go and say, you know, I got family in
town. Where can I go see back in the bobcats? Where can I
go see the sideburns? Where can I go see? You know? Vice?
Versus these five bars around me? Who's playing? Who's playing? Right?
Who's in my neighborhood this week? Exactly right? What people love to
criticize, they love to yeah they do. So what I say, what
we say is if you can do it better, start your own freaking website.
Yeah. If you can do it better, then we do it.
Yeah, it has anybody tried. No, So why did you put all
this together? Why did you? Because we were doing it for what how
long? Ten years? Yeah? What what is the what's in it for
you? And I say that only in the because you did it for ten
years on Facebook for nothing? Right? Even here, I would think most
of the advertising goes back to supporting the site it does. Yeah, so
what's in it for you? Just the love of the game, just the
love of music. That and just bringing more awareness because there's a lot of
talent and people don't know about even the Facebook page that's been around for ten
years. Isn't that weird And a lot of people don't know there's one place
you can find all the means, right, So it's just bringing more awareness
and then bringing people on like Becca and Mike, and we also have Dresden
angle, yes, the pr part of it. She helps us out a
lot. And then now we got fun is wonderful. I don't think I've
ever seen anybody who's always happy. But I will suggest this and I mean
this, and I'm gonna say it, and it sounds harsh, and if
dredsdon ever hears about it, I am the one who did say it.
Don't ever go to a comedy club with Dresden. That laugh. Oh yeah,
that laugh. You can't get away from it. It's like you know
where it is. And when she doesn't laugh like that and you're the comic,
you start to question yourself. That's that's a problem. But that you've
got a great crew doing all this and and a lot of time. But
I got to think, Yeah, I would think that there would be some
drama sometimes yeah, sometimes yes, I we try not to play into it.
Yeah, we have we know what we want to do. Yes,
we have exactly in our minds how we want things to happen. Rebecca and
Mike and Dresden and Frank all have our vision. What would this ever go
to? I'm just thinking about this in my head. You know, we
have, for example, the Fairport Music Fest has exploded, and I think
there's other little things that happen around the area. I know steel Rail And
does anybody ever ask you guys for recommendations on bands? Do you ever get
asked that? And I and and maybe you don't want to answer that.
But that then it made me think, will there ever be reviews on bands?
But would that be too divisive for people? Stay away from that.
Yeah, we try not to give our opinion because music is different for everybody.
Absolutely, it's an art, right, Like like Doug was saying,
he's, you know, doesn't really love country too much. I didn't say
that I like country. He plays it all backwards. That's a joke.
That's a joke. I play my country music backwards. I keep my job,
my car doesn't break down, my wife doesn't leave me, my dog
doesn't die. First, you got to get a wife. Yeah, then
I got to get a dog. Then you got to get a dog.
Right, you might want to find a job. Maybe music is subjective,
yes, of course, So I'm not going to tell you what to like.
Right. And there's people say, why do you list skinny out lists.
Well, there's bands that playing skinny houss and so Rochester bands playing skinny
Well, it's so far nobody's going to go there. That's not true.
You go there, Yeah, I mean if you went down for a weekend,
Skinny outlass is beautiful, gorgeous, and I get a lot of friends
at vacation Endicott and that's an hour and a half away. Jason Newstead lives
down in Skinny Atlas. Used to be what was the bass player with Metallica
for years? Yeah, and I think he's had some other bands. He's
got a seven million dollar house somewhere on the lake. Now. Yeah,
Now, could you imagine if you're playing down there back and then all of
a sudden incomes Jason Newstead and he wants to play a little bit with you.
We add anyone who reaches out, so any venue, any musician.
We get emails every day, multiple emails, and we implement them on the
site. Weekly. Musicians reach out who aren't listed, we add them.
They're all added for free. Yeah, and then we give opportunity to anyone
who wants to take out an ad. We have a What's Hot page now,
which is bulletin board. Okay, what is on the What's Hot page?
Let's let's let me pull up the website because I had some questions,
like the What's Hot page, that's where I thought I saw Frank's blog is
on there. The F word Okay, yeah, he just so I do
all the design, So any that's on the website or any graphics on there,
is designed by us on the spot kind of. So someone reaches out
and they have their logo and their vision for what they're looking for on the
site, and we designed the ad and we publish it on the site on
different various pages. It's a great cover page when you get in there,
and then right away Today's gig list, so you click on that and it
tells you everything that's playing today. People look like you and they have bands
at Barnard right away, so you can see all the dates if you're looking
for that and people. That's kind of a destination. That's an ad.
Yes, anything you see on the site that's not get your gig on related
advertisement. So they are all these gigs today, Yes, and it's a
slow it's Tuesday. Wow. Bunce has the Dave Turner live open mic,
so you can go in and jam anybody kind of Yeah, a very good
Uh. California roll ins on their clam Man's Party House too. Yeah.
Yeah, that's right down by the lake, right. Yeah, but where
is clam Man's Party House and Seneca Falls. Yeah, it's a party house,
has been there for a lot of outdoor music. Is do you sit?
So you put this together what earlier in the week and they just add
to it and then load it up at night. Earlier in the week.
I work on Friday and Saturday. Every night I work on the next day's
list. Okay, that's what I'm doing. Yeah, what we're doing?
How dare you? What is wrong with you? You gotta give it,
give it the right thing there. Put the wool in a week, Well,
Sundays we delete last weeks. Yeah, we start all over again,
what do you think people say behind your back about this? Nothing? So
far, we've gotten pretty good feedback. I would think they would say nice
things. Yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of talk. We're learning all
kinds of stuff out about ourselves that we didn't know. Really, Yeah,
I'm curious, Like, I'm just curious as to what that would be.
Maybe you can't saytie yes. And my answer to that is do you read
the comments when they does the criticism come on the page? Most of it
is not public on the page. Most of it is what we hear.
Okay, what you hear? Because I saw today that if you, if
you went on x formerly Twitter, Sandra Dorley had posted something about an arrest
of a man who had shot somebody basically in cold blood and all this stuff,
and I go, I just want to see the comments. And it
was like ones like, h I accept your apology and keep locking up the
bad guys. The next person's like, when are you going to resign?
You're disgraceful, and then the next one was you're horrible. You had to
be like on and on, and I sat there reading it for like five
minutes, laughing my ass off, and I go don't you have other things
to do? That doesn't anybody? I don't have the energy to go shit
on something. I think the biggest thing is if you don't like it,
you don't pay attention to it. Well, there's nothing not to like here.
It tells you all them. I think most everybody's looking for music somehow.
Ye music, the venues want them to be promoted. Bands need them
promoted. So there's reason to yes. Absolutely, How did they sucker you
into doing all the design for this? I'm very involved in the music community,
and when I met them, they brought up this idea. There's something
like just very They're very charismatic, aren't they. They're fun to hang out
with, the charismatic. But our vision. Yes. We approached probably three
or four other web web designers before her who couldn't do okay our vision.
When we talked to her, she got our vision right away. And I
tend to like absorb my clients, and I think like them and I build
like them, And that's kind of what sets me apart with my career in
general. I'd like to think so I really thought like them and built something
that not only that they explained they wanted, but then I took that further
and what I knew they needed And how did tambourine mom's son get involved.
I just have to say it that way because I hope she's watching men.
I just don't see how she's speaking of comments just look after comments. I
don't know. That's a good question. So I do. I have several
hats in music, like beca I'm a musical enthusiasts, I play in a
band. I also have my own webcast and I just started helping venues.
Kind of is your webcast the one I read on the website? Yeah,
behind the Rock? Behind the Rock? Is that you? Yeah? What
is behind the rock? Explain that to me? They sounded really interesting.
So it's it's it's telling a story, it's it's doing a video interview of
those who have made significant contributions to the local music scenes. So they were
our first episode. We've done Alvo in Rockstar Academy. We did the Gentleman's
of the Fairport Music Fest, and then we got Steve Steve Ball from the
Dogs, the Dogs all charity work. Yeah, yeah, so doing that
and then I've just started helping because I've been doing this like twenty years,
playing out live of helping venues kind of bridge the gap and helping venues book
live music because they got a lot on our plate. And I remember we
ran into you guys, my wife and I at Bata Billie's. Me and
the boys were playing and we were talking about that venture. And I like
to think maybe if we didn't bump in the I wouldn't be sitting here.
But she reached out to me the next day was a Saturday or a Sunday,
and said, hey, we have an opportunity. You want to join
us? And sat down. Well, I said a random when we got
home. Mike would be perfect for our guy because he's well liked, he's
great with people, he's friendly, mom, plas tambourine. He's been awesome
to work with. We've been a great team. Yeah. Really he does
the communication and the selling and bringing in the people and what's your next gig?
Because it's incredible though, the amount of messages that come in. Oh,
I gotta think I'm sure Field a lot of the messages they also come
to me. I can't read them. I mean, I have a full
time job. He's got a full time job. And the web and the
web page, you know, the page is a full time job doing it,
Yes, it is. It is. Oh, I have a lot
of downtime, so they feeled a lot of that. Yeah, Like,
we just got a gentleman who's looking to do an advertisement, who lives down
in Naples, who comes up here in the summer. He's playing at Margines
and some other venues. He's looking to advertise. So that's incredible that you
know people who live in Florida. I mean he was from here originally but
lives in Florida. The words gotten back to him, and you know,
how can I promote my gigs? I'm only up here for a small window
of time. So it's a smart place to do it. Because if I'm
looking for live music and then I see the ad on there, and I
love like a smart with Barnard Bands of Barnard, because right there it's the
whole schedule, and they go, well, that was smart. They designed
that ad. So that was an ad they submitted themselves, and they put
all their events on it. So that's a smart way to do it.
The bulletin board is going to be a great spot for that too, because
it can be any size. You'll notice that one is a banner size,
it's harder to read on mobile. So if they ah on the bulletin board,
wait, that's all the ship you got to think of now, because
it's got to go. It's got to look good on my iPad, it's
got to look good, look good on my iPhone, and it's got to
look good on whatever. Back to them and said, you know, the
it's a little too small and some of this it's not going to get right.
So they sent another one back and it's more readable. But now with
our bulletin board page, which is semi knew that wasn't with the original launch.
The newer page. Now you can have an AD as long as you
want it. They can design it, any specs, any ad size.
We're not going to limit that, and they can submit it so that How
do you get introduced on stage back in the Bob Cats? Do you go
out and say we're back in the Bobcats, and do you have an intro
of any kind? Usually start with one song and then introduce and then introduce
yourself. Because I got a guy sitting here who used to be a strip
club DJ many years ago, many years ago, many years ago, and
he is fantastic. Yes, I would love to. He would love to
do that. He he would be great, but he could do like pre
recorded things like intro you and he's still you, still DJ you do weddings
and introduce the couple like strippers, well when they want to be right,
like, should we give him a little taste of what you can do?
Sure? Why not? All right? Give me what song would you like?
What do you like to do? You like to play? Yeah?
Should we do straight Cats? Struck? We do that song? Sure?
Well? Does that work? It works? Yes? Everything? Well,
I don't I can do it anything, okay, yes, even motart you
you know. All right, let's see we'll get the straight Cats and we'll
let you do a little Dougie Fresh intro for back in the Bobcats, Back
in the Bobcats, and then we might have to do one for the Cydeburns
to just to see. All right, here we go, all right,
Murph's how we doing tonight? All right? This time I want you to
keep your hands and feet inside the car to the rye comes or completely stop
you know where you love her? You can't get the bumper here she comes
back and up Bobcats. All right, I'll start singing, laughing, what
I'm on the spot. You can't send you on the spot is not uncomfortable.
But is that bad that I put you on the spot like that?
No, all right, that's what I'm here. Well I don't it's not
why you're here. But I love when you do that. I know.
She just doesn't like strip clubs, that's true. Wait a second, what
do we do? Yeah? Here here comes Frank's next next block. You
look like a jade. She comes a skinny mini for one, two,
three, Get ready for jade and upside? Why she said, you see,
that's the great thing about this room. Yes, you forget that you're
sitting with microphones and lights on and cameras because all of a sudden, she
went, No, I didn't say that. I did not. I don't
like them. You're right, I disgusting, horrible places, just the worst.
Yeah, I've never seen people. Yeah, a lot of women putting
themselves through college. Well the last time she saw Paul was on a playground
many years ago. She's doing over. Have you ever been to a strip
club? Just ask him? I have. Okay, there you go,
which one? Which one of the mirage here? And which one your folds
across the board is it the Sundowner? Yeah, peppermints, peppermints, and
wasn't there peppermints? And then there was a guys one too. There was
one for ladies that had got I don't remember. Should we ask Mike?
Absolutely, I don't know. I thought there was a male female one up
there at then peppermins and mints pe mint. Yes, there you go,
very good. Not on, get your gig on though you won't find any
strip comes to get you. Now, what if there was like a house
band right there could be a house band the bringing it back old school style.
You know, we had a band at the Classic years ago. They
ended up being the Budweiser band Rochester. I can't remember the name, but
they turned into Silis. Do you remember that band? Yeah? Rob?
Wait you have Alice that's the name of the band. Yeah the way you

I immediately thought strip club and boner pills. It just made sense to me
and see Alice, but it's not spelled that way. Thank you for having
the tattoo, because I had spell completely that. I don't know one of
our favorite Yes, Wow, looking at it? Are you allowed to say
favorite bands? I know they're they're over right. Well, I don't see
why you can't. I'm just saying, like, would you be you know,

out in fairports. You got the man, the myth, the legend right
beside me, the admirl on the air wings, the pointdexter of podcast,
your favorite of mine. Give it up. Don't get it up, but
give it up for the one and only mister Bellmore. Whoa wow, look
at that doggie fresh in the house. Favorite Adamos nineteen eighty four in the
house. Track number six is the track number six. I don't know,
I don't know. I think it's three. So Randy and Christine may remember
this name. Uncle Roge. Uncle Roge. Uncle Roge was DJ did overnights
on CMF for thirty something a year, and Rodge just liked doing overnights.
I used to pick him up for me these things and bring him to work
because he's leaving during the day and he had some rental properties and things,
and he never wanted to work during the day and he didn't like the corporate
bullshit of radio. But he did much like I guess you guys, sort
of a different version of that. He did Homegrown, which was all local
bands, and they would play that and they would put out albums and stuff.
So when I started, there was a guy on the college campus,
Mark Moran. I went to Fisher and he called himself Miranimal, and I
said to him, Hey, I want to steal that name because I was
on CMF my senior year. So I was doing it and I started myself
Miranimal, and Uncle Roger used to come in and sing to Panama. He
would go Moranimo. So I had Charlie Fitzimmons, who now owns Black and
Blue and the Village Bakery and Trotta and JoJo's and all these other restaurants.
He sang it and I had a little shout out that was Ranimal. It's
the Panama song, but it was Uncle Roger's idea that was the thing.
Yeah, it was interesting. I forgot about Homegrown because you don't get a
lot of And then I think Frank was doing something on a local radio station
as well for a while featuring local bands, sort of after Homegrown had gone
away. Yeah, he picked it up, and I think he even benefited
from a Homegrown when he was in the Frantic Flattops. So yesterday I happened
to go to Henrietta because my son wanted to play in that pickup basketball game,
and the gym was over there. And as we're leaving, the gym
is near Red Lobster, and I go, what happened to Red Lobster?
Like it looks abandoned already, and they just they just closed, like this
was Monday night. They had Mother's Day. And then I'm reading on Facebook
some woman says her son showed up to work and they had a notice on
the door that says Red Lobster is permanently closed. So then I look it
up and depending on the news report, anywhere from forty eight to eighty locations
around the country just shut down to avoid bankruptcy. But they didn't see here's
the thing that I have to say. They don't owe you an explanation.
Unfortunately they don't. It's a business, and this is the cold side of
business. Take all feelings out of it. It doesn't matter. Do you
want to work for a company like that? Probably not would have been nice
to know, Hey, Doug, don't show up on Monday. Were done?
Like, you show up and the job is in there and you had
no idea. I mean, that's terrible because you're planning right. You have
your your personal budgets and your things, and you you went to get your
gig on and you found bands you want to see and they got a cover
charge, but you got the money because you got your gig. They're saying
rock Lobster. But then I'm reading like, I mean, Hattiesburg is gone,
right, like multiple Red Lobsters. I think there was one in Florida
that was open for thirty one years and they're closing it just shut down but
just I've never seen that happen where a business of any kind doesn't even tell
it's employees just boom done. Now, somewhere somebody had to know what was
coming and what ones were being done, and I would even think at the
local level someone knew. How the fuck do you keep your mouth shut?
Well? Are they independently owned? I don't like a franchise, I don't
believe. I don't know, because the one on Ridge Road is still open,
I believe. Okay, So if the one on Ridge Roads is open,
maybe that's true. And maybe corporate own these eighty around the country.
There maybe just ones who are doing better money than absolutely. Yeah, So
they're trying to avoid bankruptcy and they're trying to sell whatever the parent company is.
So in order to sell the parent company, you don't want to be
in bankruptcy if you can avoid it. So they sold off or they just
closed. They didn't sell off, they just closed Red Lobster. For years,
there was you know, it was always packed. Yeah, it was
always packed. But I've never heard of any place, now you've worked in
the hospitality industry for years any place just closed. Just that was it done?
Classic cat Oh they just locked their doors, but there was no warning
to the dancers had to know. They didn't know. Wait, they showed
up to get on the pole, there was no Polly. The owner shut
the door at midnight and said, that's it. We're done. Really,
whatever you want. Dennis, No, was it the Mirage? No?
Ohh yeah, Classic Cat? Sorry? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
he goes, that's it. And even my friend DJ, he goes,
Doug, we're done. And I'm getting all these calls like did you know.
I'm like, no, I have worked there in ten years. The
Classic Cat just folded up? Was it? Wow? For whatever reasons?
I was rumors. I don't know for sure, so I'm not gonna say
anything, but yeah, that was that. Well. It's a tough business
because if you're not any business, right, especially when you're in business for
yourself you own your own business back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
was gonna say, it's really hard. And sometimes the business owner, it's
if you let everybody know first of all, like the employees might stop working
so hard, right, But also it's a pride thing. It's a sure,
it's a pride thing. You're really working hard, you put your all
into it, and then to have to close. It's often a decision you
make on the spot, yeah, or you make it the day before.
It's like, you know what, it's not we're gonna lose more money then
we're gonna make if we stay open, right, So it's it. It
is tough. But I mean just all of a sudden to close and that
the tour is locked. And then I go, I think there's gonna be
auctions for the stuff inside. Yeah, right, to get the stuff.
What's stuff? The equipment, all the equipment, not just that the artwork.
They got swordfish on the wall, that would look good, Doug Path,
swordfish, swordfish on the Happy Mother Tody, Mom? Put that over
your mantle or over your bed? I mean, what says man, more
than a swordfish over the bed? I jumped in. I ran out a
fishing line and jumped in and got that. I saw a video of a
woman on a boat fishing off the side right and all of a sudden,
something big gets on the line and the pole shoots out of her hands.
The guy standing behind her pushes her back, dives in and gets the pole.
The boat circle to go pick him up. Oh yeah, same thing.
But I'm going, what would you want from Red Lobster. Do they
have something lights having the window? Yeah, I think that bit you can
get those. I think you can get There's got to be some kind of
Red Lobster logo or something that you could have. I don't know. Nostalgia,
buddy, Yeah, the history of of Henrietta you're gonna have. Okay,
everybody, get your h get your loster caws and clapping for a back
and the bobcats Red Lobster. But it is a smart move to not have
anybody answer questions like you're closing. You don't have to answer any questions whatsoever.
Honey, I'm going to buy the ring as soon as my paycheck comes
in the marrow. I ain't buying it. Lying again, imagine you're you.
You come home with a fake swordfish. You got it at the Red
Lobster auction. That would be amazing. That would put that on the wall.
That would get you laid. Or a wheel or a wheel they have
the ship wheel, the ship wheel back? Come on, how great with
that? Wait a minute, they ship Wheel're still I want the lobster tank.
Did they run? Did they take the lobsters home with them or is
it still bubbling? Did they have lobsters show? Did we miss a Jewish
holadays? Everybody anybody coming in today just waving by? Wait, did they
have lobster tanks in there? They have been the red lobster once. Oh
I didn't know that. As soon as you walk in they got them.
Yeah, because Jimmy Schubert used to do a bit about the fish, like
at a at a fish restaurant and uh, he goes. You're you know,
you're swimming around in there one day and you're going, hey, Larry,
look at all these people, and you're looking at all this stuff,
And all of a sudden one day you see what looks like Larry going by
on a plate with some garnish. Larry. It's so funny. I would
I want something? I want the ship wheel from inside? Uh? Or
the big net. Didn't they have a giant net with buoys? Yeah?
I want the net with boys. Yes, the shells, all that stuff,
all that decor. Come on, Doug, all right, Hey,
maybe we could find it on some post. Nautical. Somebody in the finger
Legs has a nautical theme. Don't they not write? How many? How
many homes have you gone to? And they have an old oar as the
banister. Well, my ex husband has a ship wheel on the wall home.
Oh, I didn't mean to bring up a memory, trying to trying
to bring up both sad things for you. I saw a tears start to
come down her eye, just trickle down in the navy, No red lobster
went out of business and he won the auction. Happened. They just wanted
the big wheel in the house. It was like a do you live on
the bay or anything on the lake? Yeah? I dated somebody who lived
her front yard was basically Ironicquoy Bay parked. The boat had a little dock
and uh we put in big like nautical rope as the fence around the around
the nice touch. Yeah, it's a nice touch. Right, that's what
I'm saying. If you need these nice touches, well, why not the
nautical build a sailor. I can't think I could go. I got some
ice in my freezer from the Titanic. Yeah, that's what I wanted.
No red lobster on my wall. I think it could be kind of hot.
Yeah, right, what do you get in there? If you if
I took you home and you and I had this big swordfish in my little
apartment, what would you say, don't you have a dog? Or would
you say what would you say? I wanted I gotta go use your bathroom.
They call me three minutes, so back you're you're divorced in a relationship
now, Scott kind of, I'm Groopie brings it to the speak I wanted,
but I wanted a lot of ass pat did. Yeah. Yeah,
that's why she had such a hard time getting into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame. People were keeping around, They're like, uh, did you
ever do the escape plan? Text? Oh? Yes, yeah, yeah
on dates like what my friend? You have a friend? She knows I
need you now? Really in three minutes? You want to hear something that
So this is a real thing. I always wondered if, like I I'm
not, I wouldn't you want to hear? When I was the date with
the girl and I went to the bathroom and I text my buddy while I'm
peeing, I'm like, hey, I'm good. I'm having a really good
time with this girl. And I went baked table and I actually text her,
oh my god, I almost yeah. Yeah, at least that's better
than then, Hey call me, get me the fun out of the Yeah.
I can suck up a boloney, Sam, Yeah, I think you
could. You could suck up a two car funeral. Jesus, It's like,
what's going on right? Yeah? How long have you been married?
Michael? Twelve years? Man? Good? Look see how I knew it
right on the spot. He knew, he knew he got a sword fish
in the living room. Well, that's how you do it. Keep it
there. That's why if she tries to leave, you just pin her to
the wall. You want to hear a fact that this is not a joke,
But I just heard this last month. Is pirates. Why they wore
the ie patch was to get their one eye used to night vision. Oh
I didn't know that sailing I either did. I didn't know. That's really
a little fun fact for you. Since we're talking about red lobster. It
is weird pirate. I've never asked why why the patch? This is something
tragic happening everybody. Yeah, I always right. Or you got some in
your eye? Yes, exactly it God iboogers. The whole thing's gone.
It's terrible. Yeah, kind of their night vision. Oh wow, I
didn't know that. Look at that. I love the idea though of the
the on call friend. Yeah, that you can do that, somebody.
I think there's apps now that you can have call you. You can set
up a time so it'll call you automatically. So it looks like somebody just
set me something to If you are a bartender and a woman comes up and
asks you for an angel shot, you're supposed to call nine one one?
Is that what it is? The angel shot? Is that because she's in
trouble. That's what I've heard in trouble feels uncomfortable. Yeah, maybe the
guy drove. Yeah. Yeah, the roofie thing I always was thought seems
and I don't this will sound terrible, but it was always like something that
happened to somewhere else, to someone else, right, like it just doesn't
happen here. And then, uh, it's happened to me three or four
times. I wake up and then they're gone. So I mean not a
good you know. I just all my clothes are on, my shoes,
are my belts real tight? Don't call me? Is right on my forehead.
I look at the mirror, I'm like, okay, I got it.
No, but there was as a woman I'm still in contact with today.
How'd you get away from him. I roofeed him. I used to
tranquilize her dark stopping buying her like their pills are roofie. Don't ever date
anyone from the zoo, Doug tranquilizer. No, But this girl I knew
she came and she showed up late. She was an intern and she showed
up late, and I had known her for a while, and Uh,
I'm going, something's not right. And then the radio station manager was getting
annoyed and they wanted to fire her, and I what happened? And she
starts talking. I go, you need to go get tested, because she's
like, yeah, I was just out and I think I had one,
And all of a sudden, she goes like these guys showed up sure enough.
And then they went back on the security camera and they saw him put
some kind of liquid in her drink. Isn't that scary? Right here in
Rochester? And you had no idea? But I tried to look for the
silver lining and everything back. I said, God, damn, you're so
hot that someone what that doesn't work? I mean, how scary? Is
that? That scary? Anybody? Yeah? Anybody? I share my location
permanently with several friends, and you do yeah, on my phone and most
people when I am dating and not in a relationship and I go on a
first date, everybody in my circle. Yeah, have you ever had people
go to the restaurant and just sit, you know, like the secret shopper
somewhere. But do you ever do you ever have somebody like sit like a
booth or two away? No? Because Tambourine Mom's the one I heard that.
She said, listen, have you ever go on a date? This
is the to Uh well, actually, I think there was a time my
mom's sister, who was like fifteen years younger, was on dating when they
just were starting dating apps, and she was meeting some guy at a restaurant
and my father and my brother in law, who was a West Point My
brother in law was a West Point graduate and was a captain in the army,
they went and just sat somewhere else in the restaurant just to keep an
eye. And I'm like, hmm, I don't know. Well, yeah,
it is said, now all right, here's the other one. Now
we've talked a lot about get your gig on, and get your gig on
started on Facebook, right, and then you have now this fabulous website.
Get your gig gig on dot org. Have you ever heard of the Facebook
page? Are we dating the same guy? Oh? I just had conversation.
Fantastic, what happened? I mean, I'm on it? What do
you mean you're on it? I'm on that page. I'm a member of
that group. You're a member of that group? Yeah? Uh, it's
more for entertainment. Yeah, I would think so. They it's definitely got
a Jerry Springer asque attitude about it. I think that that that's certainly true.
I think that my picture popped up there once. I think it was
put up as a joke, and then thankfully people just wrote nice things and
no one knew if I were dating anybody or not, which I keep it
very very nobody's business dating, it's not, but there was I know some
people. I know a guy who was dating a couple of different women,
and I guess one woman really thought it was exclusive. And but you gotta
have a gut feeling, don't you. I mean, I always call it
your gut feeling, call it your intuition. You're you're inner being whatever,
something's telling you something's up. So you go on the website and you just
say it's anybody else dating this guy and someone writes back, oh my god,
I am that's my husband. Has that happened? No ship multiple times?
What you don't someone saying like, oh, that person's married to my
cousin or people. Yeah, how many members are on this thousands and there's
for every town, there's there's all over the place. I know there's a
Buffalo one and I know that there's a yeah, because I have a friend
who's a pretty well known guy and he's talked about it on this podcast.
Greg Connors went out on a lunch, but it was he thought it was
more like a friend thing coworker type. I think this person may have worked
in the periphery of law, maybe something that supports law more or less.
And so went and had lunch, and then she went and put his picture
up and on the Buffalo page sing to anybody dating this And her purpose was
she was interested, and so she was just trying to clear the lanes.
So the space it's calling out the guy. Yeah, he was pissed when
he saw. He's like on tlip. Yeah, you assume that that person's
doing someone. It's not freedom of press. It's just crapping and cutting and
putting my picture there. Yeah, no, no at all. But the
the wire guys so fucking dumb guys, non equal balance. Say it's more
guys, because if you're daily, if you're married, and then you're gonna
get caught anymore. You just are especially. Yeah, but there's cameras everywhere.
Hey, hey, I just saw, you know, Doug walking by
with the Missus DeSalvo on my ring doorbell, you know what I mean.
I was just trying to see if the mailman had come and the herds,
Doug and Missus de Salvo and I just had to dinner with the Dessalvos two
weeks ago. Well, I told her not to take anything right, take
her teeth. By the way, Missus de Salvo was a porn that we
watched like when I was. I was, I used to I don't know.
I was part of the discussing here. It was part of a radio
show. Wasn't my radio show? I was. I was producing this radio
show and we all went to Canada, some tourism thing. We're staying at
a hotel and the host of the show, whose name may or may not
be Brother Weez, comes down and goes bra you gotta see this porn all
I watched last night. So Tommy and I were staying in the room together.
We watched missus out. We laughed. It was like a comedy.
It was so bad. It was so comical, and she was not She
looked like something you would dig Philip Dillar, this is something. Well,
you're staying older. She was older. She was older, and it was
just so it was just corny language. It was like, really funny,
you should get my new girlfriend on their site. What she's seventy two in
a DJ but she plays rap music. Her name's bust a Hip. I
just had to see. I just had to work. I was waiting.
I didn't think it would I just I leaned back because like here it comes
to lean too. Yeah. She had one one leg. Really yeah.
She worked that peg. Oh she had a one leg. She held her
socks up with thumbtacks. Really yeah. I heard that she worked a red
lobster had a patch over. She's now homeless because she doesn't have a job.
They closed it. They still can't get over that. Just put a
sign up. Hey, I had lost her. They were doing so well
out sponsor. But you know what was interesting you were talking about comments in
the last segment. Yeah, I don't know if I saw it. On
thirteen WAM they had the article and I was reading the comments and the caption
on the headline read red lobster on the Jeff in Henrietta closes, and everyone
was like thrown out a sort the Jeff. Who calls Jefferson Jeff? Yeah,
the Jeff. Yeah, I've lived here thirty years. I've never heard
it called that. Well, maybe maybe we're onto something new. Maybe we
need to start trying to call it the Jeff the Jeff. We'll call it
the Jeff. That would be a great thing. That just made me pull
out. I just have to read. Uh So Sandra Dorley at Sandra Underscore
Doorley on x who, by the way, greatest advertisement for Quitella ever.
I mean that deep neck contour she got. She looked hot on a on
a body cam at sixty. I gotta say the great word. So,
but all the things somebody rights go away. You're a joke of a human.
Why do you still have a job. Resign? These are the comments.
Aren't you supposed to resign? Now? Keep up the great works and
somebody, great job da. Somebody says, why haven't you resigned, yet
Monroe County needs a day DA who doesn't believe they above the wall. I
love that people have opinions, but they're like assholes, you know, and
so yeah, and so you just you spit it out there and it's like,
this is just it's like yelling into a hole. No one you know
what I mean. There's nobody hearing you. No one's saying anything. But
I love that the Jeff who calls it the Jeff. I haven't called it
the Jeff ever ever at all. Yeah, people were like, you get
the article, why are you calling it? Has anybody dated this guy on
the Jeff? He used to work in red laughter. I had a friend
who posted about a guy on there and she court he took her to court.
Wait, yeah, he was real angry. Could you good leaning that
mike a little bit more? So? That's okay, So tell me I
used to a microphone because the hip so yeah, sure deaf? And was
he someone who was kind of known she was dating him? She thought she
was the only one someone else was. It was true he was dating two
women. He felt that his name was slandered and slandered, Well is it
when you're dating somebody is it kind of unless they say exclusive, do you
just kind of right? Yeah? I mean it is a fine line because
it's a hard thing, and especially when you know, I don't know you
were married, I don't know if you have kids, all that stuff.
You have two it's tough to navigate, right, and so you're trying to
keep all that stuff. And yet at the same time, you don't want
to get run over by somebody either. Yeah, and you sleep with somebody
on the first date, it happens, right, are you exclusive or you
just we'll see what I think. Wasn't it good? You don't want to
see me again? Or how do you do that? I mean, honestly,
I was talking to this girl on one of the dating sites and she
texted me. This is not a joke. She text me earlier and she
goes, hey, how's it going, and I said good, I'm just
out driving, and then three hours pass I go and you you know,
with a conversation. I just ended up deleting her and blocking her because it
was just random things just to she wouldn't respond. Hang on, if you
if somebody touch you and then you respond, you don't hear from from three
hours later. I'm not responder. See, this is when you're starting a
conversation, keep it going. Yeah, but maybe she put it out there
because this has happened for a couple of weeks, Like she'll say a couple
of words, then nothing, and then but like three days later, Hey,
how you been. I'm like not getting this okay, inconsistent. Yeah,
I can't have that. What is the best dating site? If you
were on it? M did you ever do any dating sites? Hinge?
Hinge? What? What? What is? My niece tells me to do
hinge? Yeah, I guess in the whole dating app world, but I
don't know. You can answer questions about yourself and out of it being like
a whole bio, you actually answer like specific questions. Okay, I don't
know. They all kind of suck. Yeah, it's it's not fun out
there. It's not. No, I mean it's entertaining at first. Yeah,
if you have no place to meet somebody, at least you're looking at
pictures with the hope that somebody's going to respond. And cars is not always
ideal either. No, no, especially but where all eyes around you at
a bar, you're up there singing and everybody wants you. It's got to
be tough. Oh yeah, I'm sure. I had a friend meet her
husband at Wegmans. So then I started like dressing cube when I went to
Wegmans, because maybe that's where I all meet him. You go to wait,
how did she meet her husband? Because it was really sweet and they
both have kids and they were in line and then exchange numbers and now they're
married. Really and what Wegmans was it? I don't know, We'll see
that's the problem. Okay, yeah, because the East Avenue Wegmans I used
to hear was the hookup Wegmans. But I don't I I could see that.
Yeah, single professional, A lot of single people down there. Yeah,
but I think you could meet people any of the gym. Yeah.
Not a music site. Not a music site, get your gig on,
get your date on. Maybe there needs to be maybe wha look at this.
Maybe we needed subsidiary. I'm just saying that could be. I liked
I love knowing that A guy sued though, Yeah, yeah, went after
it well and there was some kind of settlement. I'm not sure there was
a settlement, some kind of Yeah, she there was things that she said
that were untrue. Did she have to pay money? I don't remember.
Let's get him on here. Well her first, it would be it would
be a riot. Yeah, she's a waged doodle. Well maybe maybe,
Yeah, that's why we got an interview. She could be good. What
if all of a sudden, you you know, we have her in one
near on and you strike a conversation. Yeah, she doesn't have to worry
about me dating anybody else. Of course, the women I can't figure out
their phones that put out Facebook. So hell yeah, right June twentieth,

taking your arms and do little Tennessee waltz. You just spell my nights.
It's funny because this song always makes you want to drink. Yeah, I
think so, I think so. This is a very popular wedding song.
Now is it really to dance too? Well? It's like you stop me
drinking and saved my life. Uh that's what it sort of is. I
mean, you saved my life. Is this what it's about? I don't.
I don't even think of it as country And I know It probably is
Chris Stapleton genre. But as you need a need six slow songs play soon
the night and this is always top one or two, whereas nobody wants to
play the y m C anymore. That's become passe, my friend. A
lot of years. Yeah, well, you know, you know things are
dying off. Yes, you know, people that wanted to dance to it
can't dance do it. They got a hip replacement and shoulder replacement. Replacement

You worked pretty good. I see that Rory McElroy is divorcing his very beautiful
wife, Erica Stole. Erica I believe is from Irondequoit, Yes, And
I thought, well, I thought they met at the Ryder Cup in twenty
twelve. She was transportation, like you know, and that's how they met.
And then he was I don't know if this was I don't want to
say it this way, but I'll say it this way was rebound because he
was involved with I believe, a professional athlete, and that he was engaged
with Caroline. What was Niaki? What was Niaki? What was she a
press professional? I thought she was a tennis star. Yeah, I thought
she was a tennis star, like up there in the rankings and tennis,
but either way, but this was so they met in twenty fourteen, they
married in twenty seventeen. So here we are about eight years later. They
have a baby girl who's three years old. So I know there's a prenup.
I don't know anything about prenups because in the time that he was married,
in those eight years, he won one hundred and ten point nine million
dollars in in Yeah, she's going to see some of that. That well,
that that's what he made playing golf, plus anytime he won and I
think he's won three or four majors. The endorsements, oh, absolutely right,
and millions of dollars in endorsements during that time. I don't know what
the prenup is. And then the bad part. You know, it's got
to be really hard being married to somebody famous. I watched a really dumb
movie on Prime and I forget I'm gonna forget the name of it, but
it had uh was basically about this woman who's in her forties winds up in
a relationship with a guy who's twenty four and he happens to be in a
boy band, but like a world renowned boy band. So she goes on
tour with him in Europe and then things leak out and in her community in
the Los Angeles area, the moms are finding out. She goes to pick
up her daughter who's seventeen or sixteen at camp and parents are coming up and
taking pick because it's slowly leaked out. And I don't know, I mean,
this doesn't slowly leak out, but there's a lot of pressure when you're
in the face. And Rory was one of the few that stood up and
said, this live golf tour thing is bullshit. I won't do it.
I won't take the money. Now they're now they're trying to join. Well
I think they are joined now. So you know that kind of went because
people are like, well you lost out of money. Well you don't know
that. You didn't know what was going to happen. Yeah, he stood
up for himself and he's making like you said, three million, how much
more? Hundred ten, one hundred and ten, that's seven more than you
have. You understand what say, I'm not picking on you. I'm just
saying like if someone had said to you, Doug, I'm giving you seven
million dollars. That's pretty fucking nice. That is so one hundred and ten
point nine in earnings. I don't know what happens. So I know that
Rory is a member at Oakhill. Yeah, Now I don't know if that's
gratis or he's paying the dues or whatever, or he practices there when he's
in the area, you know, visiting in laws or whatever. So I
texted the president, said how much. I don't know. If it's sixty
five thousand dollars. It goes by I think that's a yearly fee. Yeah,
it goes by your age to get in. Yeah, it goes by
your age. It's crazy money for only so like five months. Yeah,
so if you get in it, well you're if you live here, you
go to the club for dinner and your wines and different things. But they
if you it's very prestigious. Obviously. I have a friend that's lungs.
Yeah, so he's loaded. The I thought it went by age, like
if you were to become a member at twenty one, your initiation fees are
lower than if you become a member of fifty one. Yeah, that's how
it used to be anyway, because I knew I they used to hang out
people that were there, a lot o bachelor's coatillion and all that stuff that
we did. But I don't know. So maybe she should have seen this
coming. I have no idea. People are saying the writing was on the
wall. He came in twenty second at the master's and she was not there.
She's normally there, she's normally as the caddie. It's tough to say
what's going on relationships, especially with a kind of lives. Maybe it's tough
enough to have a relationship with a regular job and care, how's it going
for you over? Oh this is a year. I gave this girl my
phone number Sunday. She has not called you. Really, Yeah, should
we call her? Did you get hers? I did not. Oh what
happened? Oh, we're out playing cards and it was there's six guys.
We're playing uker. Three of the guys on the other side of where I
was. I want match the place. This woman came in, probably between
in her forties early forties, and just fantastic, fantastic, what fantastic chest,
great smile, and she came down. So I had made a couple
of jokes, got it laughing, and at one point she was. She's
signing out, and she looks in her purse and she's looking around, and
I know what she's looking for. She's looking at for reading glasses. So
I went over and she couldn't find my I says, it's seven dollars in
whatever sense she goes, I can't read, I go, I know you
can. So I didn't get a chance. I was hoping to get her
a loan or something. Never happened. So I leaned over. I fed
some paper and I put my name on it and my number, and then
she was walking out to car and I'll be right back, like they Hey,
you seemed like a cool chick. You had a lot of balls coming
out by yourself to you know, at a bar and had a few laughs.
And here's my number. And I had dinner in a question mark best
I had. So I have not heard from her. No, you might
be waiting three days. Do you know where that is? What? Do
you know where that piece paper is? Right now? It's probably went right
in the garbage, right in the You don't know that done? Done,
Dougie done. I gave it a shot. I fear rejection like no other.
Why I just do fear rejection. Yeah, I hate it. Then
are you talking about rejection? It's in a dictionary. You've heard about it.
Yes, I got it. Stand up, it's different. It's not
really well for me, it is, it's the same. I mean you,
what happens if you bomb on stage? I just basically rejection? Right?
So do you not put yourself out there? I don't. I don't
know. I got to have a little feeling of something. I felt a
little something with her. She got her laughing, you know, a couple
of giggles. I'll give it a shot. You're feeling the prosecco. Wow,
that's interesting. What happened? So what do you If you don't put
yourself out there, how are you ever going to get anyone? Exactly?
There's probably counterpart to me somewhere. You know, guys and women, they're
on the websites. They are just hoping to run into somebody and have a
click. So, hmmm, let me ask you this. These are the
top dating red flags America has been googling, according to Google Analytics. This
is it Google trends, I should say, so these are the top ones.
Let mean, let me there's ten of them. There's five of them,
five of them, five of these are the top ones. Google released
the listener red flags. Let mean, let me guess. One. It's
on their phone all the time. Let me see here, M sorta no,
I guess they talk about their ex a lot. Okay, talking to
an X is number four? Is it a red flag if they're still friends
with their axes or can that be a good thing? I don't know.
They have kids, I know if there's some people that are. They say,
we're better friends now than when we were married. And it happens.
People are great friends. They get married, you can't make it work,
a couple of kids, and then they split up and they miss each other.
They could make it as friends. But that his husband and wife.
All right, So you got number four. There's five. Now these are
what people are googling. So red flags that they're googling. They they switch
jobs a lot. No, no, No, they're on social media a
lot. That's not even one either. No. They do drugs a lot.
No. No, I don't know. So I'll give you the first
one is saying I love you too soon. If they say it a month
in maybe, if they say it on your first date, definitely, Yeah.
Why would people google that what does it mean? Because it happened,
it happened to them and they don't know how to take it. So what
do you think You're giving a fucking advice from Google? Talk to your parents,
to talk to a buddy, right, yeah, I'll tell you what.
Fucking run? Uh? Watching true crime is number two? Really watching
true crime? I don't know. If they love true crime shows doesn't mean
they might try to murder you. And this is what people are googling.
A psychologist recently said that being overly obsessed with it could be a sign of
unresolved trauma. I haven't looked at any of the true crime I don't look
at any of this. Somebody watches a lot of porn? What that mean
that'd be ready for a lot of sex and that, and that you might
still be working through some issues. So that's why people were googling it.
I think if you watch a lot of porn, it means you're your fear
rejection and you can't really get intimate and you just look at something and go,
oh, if only, if only, if only, and then but
you're really good at cleaning up spills. What about midget porn? Does a
short term relationship it's a short term relationship and it means that you like to
go to the circus. Are you familiar with the term love bombing? No?
Okay, all right, see now just bombing. I get bombed more
than Hiroshima. Oh sorry. That's when someone praises you or showers you with
gifts early on and then turns psycho. Oh. The Cleveland Clinic defines it
as a form of psychological and emotional abuse. It's also something cult leaders do,
like I guess love bombing to me was where all of a sudden,
you're getting like cards and love you and flowers and all that. I never
knew it turned psycho after that. Well, I guess controlling would be a
form of trying to control somebody. How early would it be to have a
gift on the first not a gift, but it's all of a sudden,
like you're sending like flowers every day or sign them up for a Flower of
the month or whatever like that. Talking to and actually said and then double
texting, which I don't know what that is, And according to Google trends,
that's when they send a follow up text before you've even replied to the
first one. Not always a red flag. It could be a sign they're
obsessive or controlling. Hello, my name is doug. Yeah. You don't
text. No, No, you don't even get to text. I don't
even get to text. My numbers in the trash. I don't have any
followers on Facebook. It's a lonely life, an old school dog. I
still right now, still right, exactly? What's your number? Got a
pen? No? Love, I have a phone. I lost my number
and I have yours. Oh yeah, I don't tell Did you try that?
No? No? What else has been happening with Dougie Fresh? You
met a chick, you gave her a number, she threw it in the
trash. It's my guess. I got a wedding this weekend for two very
nice people. One you're making Alex djingjing Alex's wedding. Okay, think I
never called me back. I tried to get reached on heat wedding. Yeah,
and then you you remember, after six months of him asking you,
you finally gave me them. No, yes, six months. I did
Whiskey River last week. That was fantastic. On Sunday Sunday Frindays to nine,
every every Sunday, every Sunday Bob's got bands down there. I think
Friday, Saturday, Sunday. They got a wonderful outdoor pavilion that's gonna be
rocking, all right. Golf to sam Creek Golf, to Braemar Golf,
to my league man. Yeah, just living the life. You don't have
time for a relationship. I would make time for somebody. No. No,
you can sit in bed and watch a movie together, fall asleep.
I mean that's what it's all about. Have some dinner, talk a little
uh huh. Yeah, ladies, you're hearing this. This is what you're
missing out on. You know, someone who's chival rolling and loving. And
we'll give When I'm at the dollar store picking up a jarp, I'm gonna
get your card. There you go. I got some very great romantic ideas
with nobody to use them for, and I'm not gonna give them up.
Here. Give me one, No, give me one shitty romantic idea that.
Yeah, I know it's gonna be it. Come on, you can't
think about it. You just said I don't think Wait, you just yeah,
I haven't romantic ideas. I go give me one home. Yeah,
okay, ladies. This then, and thus we have a lonely Doug steaming
pile of No, You're not a steaming pile of loneliness. You're just a
pile of loneliness. The forty nine ers are opening up with the jets of
money. Well, I did see that the they released five games. Yes,
so you fans lay it down because I know the Bills have a Thursday
night game Week two, Yes, Week two against Miami in Miami. Yeah,
and Week one. I hate when they do the Miami game in Miami
early in the season. It sucks for people up here because they only play
twice a season. That means they're going to play in Buffalo in December.
Not necessarily, it could be two weeks later. They well, they usually
put that game. I'm telling you, they usually wait that AFC East game
later. And the only reason it may be good is if it's playoff and
it's up here and the and the weather becomes a factor. But if when
the Bill sucked for years, it was fun to go to Miami in December.
Yeah, we would do a trip and nobody would go to the game,
right, just get rocked out. But it was like, yeah,
but it was kind of cool because it's December. It was warm, it
was you know, it was kind of it was fun. Well, I'm
guessing the last game year will be Bills, either Jets or Miami. They'll
set it up the way because playoff implication. Right, sure, Kansas City
I believe opened up with the Ravens Thursday night since they won the Super Bowl,
right, forty nine didn't, Right, we will be back in the
Super Bowl. And then the forty nine ers are the Monday night game,
Monday night game. And who are they playing? The Jets? The Jets
Monday night, Monday Night. And maybe Aaron Rodgers playing with the five downs
maybe? And is that game in New York No, it's in San Franz.
Yeah, they want to Uh. They said that you're gonna hear this
about thirty thousand times that the forty nine ers back in the day passed on
Aaron Rodgers, and Aaron Rodgers still has a chip on it shoulder. Okay,
get picked up, all right. So the full schedule I believe comes
out tomorrow Wednesday night, Tomorrow night. When we're taking this on Tuesday at
eight pm, I think little things are gonna be leaking out. I think
we'll be leaking all day. Yeah, yeah, just like your dates depends
all the primetime games. Now. I think the Bills are going to be
in at least four primetime games. Oh, I easily. I think so.
Even though they lost Diggs. I think Josh Allen is just fun to
watch. Yes, you know, And I think they're going to make it,
and I think that's part of it. I think there's going to be
I think they played the Texans and I think that'll be a primetime game.
I think Kansas City will be a primetime game. I think the are in
Buffalo. I will be going to that game with Jeff Connors. Did you
get the group text that he's taken all of us? No? Oh,
you get the wrong name? Yeah, you know how I know you didn't
get it because his name is Greg waiting Jeff. I'm think of his cousin,
wait to get see Jeff. Yes, you did way to screw up
your own joke, Douggie Fresh. Yeah that's right, Yeah, my own
joke. June twentieth, that's a joke. Fingerlo finger legs. June twentieth.
