It's a BM for your ears from the Mac of All Trade Studio in Fairport
and driven by Victor Chrysler Dodge J Bram. It's bilified the Bill Moran Podcast.
Well, hello, and thank you for getting your pot on. Thanks
for telling a friend. That's how we spread the word about the pirate ship.
That's right, lots of things going on. Danny's getting ready to head
to Nashville and kept stasting him to pick up a bottle opener from the stadium.
How many different stadium or different teams, I should say, bottle openers
do you have from the NFL? I have four right now. I found
up a couple of other stadiums before I was doing that. Yeah, I
don't heaven New England one. I didn't pick one up when I was there,
I don't know. And Buffalo didn't have one the last time I was
there. But I've got Pittsburgh, char or Carolina, Denver and uh,
there's a bills one where if you open it, you know, you'll make
me want to show there is. Yeah, there is. Yeah, it's
a musical bottle Opener's got the little button and I know exactly where it says,
Hey, it's gonna be the most. Oh yeah, it's just a
cheap little way from me to remember that I went to the stadium because they're
like six or seven bucks. I mean, imagine you're watching the Bills and
they're getting their asses kicked. You're like, man, I gotta have another
drinking nobody, So you know, you make me well. I mean it's
like, I'm gonna put that in my Bills Connors and Ferris Couzy too.
Yeah, that's very funny. Well, since we're on the h the the
topic of football, I did see that Stefan Diggs had some pretty cool post
practice comments yesterday, uh saying that there was never a problem and he went
after yeah, and I was gonna play the audio back and I cool,
shit happened. Yeah, I don't even know what to say, but all
is well here. But here's what I would say you're talking about. But
he did say, look, I don't know how to make play calls.
I have no idea how to make play calls. And I think that I
go boy. Out of all the things he said to me, that's the
best and the rest of it you have to chalk up to These are highly
competitive men in a violent sport, so why, why? What do you
think is going to happen? But we look for anything, and I have
referred to the NFL as a soap opera for men for years, right,
I mean, because that's what it is, and we look for these things,
and even anybody does. Nowadays, you're trying to get attention. Stefon
Diggs certainly attention seeking. And I don't know if it's true or not,
but Greg even referred to when he was here that he did not go over
to us. I think Stefan was two blocks over while they were in France,
and he said I didn't want to see him in his min coat.
I don't know. If Stefan was posting pictures of himself and his man coat
in eighty degree weather in France, wouldn't be surprised. But you know,
I find that statement odd though, that as a receiver that you don't know
how to, I mean, you may not know the ins and outs of
calling a play, but I feel like you could figure it out. I
mean you could, I think you can figure out. I thought it was
a really good I thought it was a really good answer, because you're right,
there are intricacies in the NFL that maybe you're seeing from a higher vantage
point, and all the film and all the time, and he's just studying
probably who's going to cover him potentially and what routes he has to run,
right, I don't know. I don't know, right. I mean it
needed to be put to bed. He put it to bed, but it
a bed. But at the end of the day, yes, I'll say
this, the honeymoon, which has been a long, long honeymoon with this
team is now over. I don't know if I trust them, And I
think most Bills fans are with me. And all it takes is one weight
loss. It's the same. All this stuff is chatter, chatter, chatter
again. But that happened in Minnesota when he got sent here. He was
having issues with people. I mean, where they're smoked, there's fire.
All it takes is one bad game. Yeah, but wait a second,
what do you what are you saying? Like all Bills Bills fans are with
me? What are you talking about? You know the words we've The first
year they made the playoffs, it was with under mcdermay. It was like
a shock. They're just happy. Nobody expected. The second year he wasn't
on the team. Then no mc it Digs, Was it right? No?
I know that they get. Third year, they get there, they
lose. Fourth year, they get their Digs joins the team, they get
all the way the championship game the year after that was a little bit of
a letdown, especially with thirteen seconds they had the game wrapped up in the
division round. And then last year they get throttled at home after they you
know, they're covering, they're coming. Safety comes back from the dead and
he got The last memory of that is Stefon Digg is going out off on
his quarterback, which he's allowed to do. Like you said, they're a
competitive man, competitive man. My point is that people will start chattering the
moment things go sideways the first time. Did you not see the last week
Dan was elected president of Bill's maffia. They're all with him, now they're
with me. No. No, there's three types of people. There's the
realist. There's the bandwagon riders who are Dolphins and cowboys fans in high scho
and then there's and then there's the people who who who will never admit the
team ever does wrong all they walk on water. I mean, I don't
think Greig's will walk on water. Guy. But so you're you're you're where
do you where do you see them ending up this season? I see they
probably lose in the divisional round again, Okay, there's a lot of competition.
There's a ton of competition, and everybody's saying, well, last year
they only lost like three games by a total of I forgot, what six
point seven point and I'm like, yeah, But then they get the playoffs,
it gets the real playoff team, and they got their ass kicked,
right, It's all about winning. Like Billy Bean said in Moneyball, the
only game that matters to win is the last one. And if you don't
win the last one, then now, if they go to the super Bowl,
people will be cool with that. They go to the AC Championship game,
they'll be less cool, but they'll be cooler. If they go to
another divisional round and lose, then you know, people are gonna be pissed
off and it's gonna turn into a love hate relationship instead of just the love
fest. That's all I'm saying. I don't buy the whole When they lost
by three points loss it is, but don't know people might know at this
point, no, it is, but blown out, you lock no,
I agree with you, but my but my point is a lot of those
people are saying, yeah, so if they just like done that, they
would have been seventeen to know it, and then they would have lost.
I mean, that's that's something no, I know, but that's my point.
Though. We're gonna head that made that stupid play in Uncle, and
they had have been in the playoffs, all right and not Miami. See
this hug gets so inten convoluted, right, No, not convoluted at all.
It makes perfect sense. And I understand what you're saying. It's,
you know, Kevin's just going a loss as a loss, no matter how
much I do think that a being edged out softens the hurt for a fan.
Then a blowout right right, or even a seventeen point win or even
a seven point win, right, It just it just sort of softens it.
If it's by a point, you go, well, our team was
in their right to the end. I think seven to ten is that you
don't want to lose by a point in that no, you don't feel you
don't want to get blown up by third. I think that's seven to ten
buffers. I get Two years ago, I lost because of stupidity. Last
year they lost because they just weren't focused. Now, switching gears a little
bit, but saying in the NFL, the Denver Broncos had Nathaniel Hackett,
who at one point, under Doug Moron was the offensive coordinator of the Buffalo
Bills. We interviewed him and I'm like, how's a guy my agent offensive
coordinator of an NFL franchise. He then his last job was as his current
job is the offensive coordinator of the New York Jets, but he was the
head coach of the Denver Broncos, and I believe he only lasted fifteen games.
Fifteen games in his rookie season in Denver. And Sean Payton had some
really really damning things to say, and I it makes me scratch my head
because they go usually there's a fraternity there among coaches, and there's no point
in saying anything. We all saw the record, we all saw what abysmal
that was last year, and we all kind of were waiting for Nathaniel Hackett
to get fired around week ten. It took five weeks longer than we expected,
or five games longer. So I don't know, but like I really
can't and it almost in a way makes me want to root for Nathaniel Hackett.
That John Peyton is coming out saying this, but he said, everybody's
got a little stink on their hands. It's not just Russell Wilson. It
was a poor offensive line. It might have been one of the worst coaching
jobs in the history of the NFL. That's how bad it was. That's
kind of a dick thing to say. Well, that's what I'm saying.
Then he says, there's so much dirt around that, there's twenty dirty hands
for what was allowed tolerated in the freaking training rooms, the meeting rooms,
the offense. I don't know, Hackett, a lot of people had dirt
on their hands. It wasn't just Russell. He'd flip he still has it.
And so in a way, I'm going, you're trying to defend your
quarterback from a really bad season. To me, why even mention it?
Why even say anything, because do you understand, like we've all had situations
that we've either stepped into or had go bad for us. To get out
there and start to blame it on somebody else or have someone defended luck man,
I mean, hey, to me, that doesn't matter. All that
matters is now you get the Walmart money and you start talking cut all this
shit. I have two theories on that. Number One, Sean Payton is
trying to tell you that he don't expect much this year, guys, because
I gotta really dig here. Okay, But I can't blame my quarterback because
he's all I got and he's the reason I really took the job. See
I didn't see that, Okay. The second thing is he's a former assistant
of Bill Parcel's. Now he's won a super Bowl, yes, but around
a terrible franchise. Did winning franchise? He did? But and I'm not
saying he's a guy who's only won one, but if you look at his
record over the course of his career with Drew Brees, I think he's missed
the playoffs almost as much as he's made it. Oh, by the way,
he was also the only coach to get a full year suspension because another
coach under his watch was offering bounties. This is the last guy who should
be talking. And oh, by the way, he comes back into the
NFL and suddenly wants to shoot his mouth when he has even coached a game
in Denver. He said this bs that that he hit a wall, referring
to Russell Wilson. Shoot, they couldn't get a play in. They were
twenty ninth in the league and pre snap penalties on both sides of the ball.
This is why I really feel like he was trying to defend the quarterback.
Yeah, but in a way he shipped all over all. The headlines
are he ripped into Nathaniel Hackett, and he did, he did, and
that's just where I go. There was no need to do that. No,
I really don't think it made me think. I go, boy.
I hope more people feel the way I do than You're almost rooting for Nathaniel
Hackett, which I don't want to because he's in the AFC East with maybe
the best quarterback in the league I don't know, but certainly a guy who's
been MVP multiple times. Aaron Rodgers, I don't like. I don't like
this. I don't like it either. I mean, as I was alluded
to, with him being a former assistant of Parcels, the former assistants of
Parcels, and the former assistance of Belichicks, you ever notice that most of
them have big mouths. They're like the little spoiled kid. My dad's got
money and that's what they are. And Peyton's another one and he shouldn't be
talking like this. And I thought he'd be a little bit more measured than
that, but apparently he's not. He's not your Nate Hackett. Yeah,
No, the season ken the season, it's Nathaniel Daniel because yeah, and
he corrected up Nathaniel. He said, my dad told me I was named
Nathaniel. I'll never forget after after I got the Syracuse off. It's a
coordinator's job. They didn't congratulate. They sat him that said, Okay,
your name is Nathaniel. Yes you're you're mister Hackett. Yes, Denver season
goes the same way it went last year. Yeah, are you quietly sending
Sean Payton a tweet saying socco Dick. Look, it's no, I'm not
I'm not. I will. I would never publicly in any way put myself
because number one, I don't trust that he wouldn't put it out there.
But I would never do that. I just I wouldn't. I would never
wish anybody at any point anywhere. We've all gone through things, we've all
had careers, some things go sideways, some things don't. I would never,
ever, ever, even after even after he's gone a dick to you,
you're not gonna give him a little no no. And I understand exactly
what you're saying, because it would be nothing but fun. And it is
that WWE style. Maybe I'm a bad analogy, but it feels like it
a little bit that I would, uh No. I think I would try
to be the bigger man and go, you know what, it's tough out
there. It's tough out there. As you can see it's tough out there
there. I got one more win than you know what I'm saying, like
as you can see, is what I would say. As you can see
it's tough out there, I wish him the best and that would be it.
Yeah, I wouldn't see you your stock. If you're a Nathaniel packet,
you could use all the great stocks of all the great press. You
can't. And you know how that last year, about a week, even
you're you're good or you're bad. You're bad, you're bad, comments are
gonna go the rest of the season. You're good. Comments last maybe a
week, maybe midweek, and they're gone. But in the end by the
next season, nobody gives you shit. They may bring up your bad comments
again, and what for what? And what good does that do you?
You're at some point you're gonna be looking for a head coaching job and there
could be somebody on that Denver staff that has some power in a new place
to hire you or not hire you, and they going, you know what,
he's a bit of a dick. I don't want to deal with it.
That's just my way of thinking. And you know what, that's only
because I'm old. I know, I'm not kidding, because I totally to
your point. It would be like, yeah, man, fuck you.
I remember the old miranamous and I still have that in me. But there's
something else that over. I'm tired now that Tom, I'm not tired.
It's almost like I can go hang on a second before I understand that.
But here's the real thing. And in the end, nothing really matters,
you know what I mean? In life, nothing really matters. It's not
like you're gonna take your win loss record. But you tell you Daniel offensivecording
me your defensive coordinar like him, Yes I would. If you're the ess,
I would go to you, guys, go I gotta tell you,
I got some real satisfaction of the fact that they fucking shit in the bed,
or at least I feel justified. I feel like, hey, I
was you went and got somebody who you thought were so good. Yeah,
it was it just me. It's funny that you say that, because there's
there's more to that. But go ahead, Well this is completely aside,
nothing to do with football. But I've been I I talked to an awful
lot of people all the time. People have opinions, and I get them
from very high up. I'm very flatter who reaches out to me, to
be quite honest with you. And somebody said to me, you know,
one of the things that you need to consider doing is your teasers are great.
There's some of the best I've ever seen those videos and stuff you do,
but you need to put captions on there because a lot of people are
watching at work and they can't listen, but they will read it. And
I said, oh, so I started doing captions within the whole thing in
the corner with the picture or no, this would be like actually close cap
yeah, close caption, right, close caption. So I'm going through and
I go first of all, I couldn't figure out how to do it consistently
on every video today. Now you're offending the death too. And then it
said, uh, download vilified, and I go, well, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, bub bub best.
So I had to go back in and retype vilified. Then I couldn't
get it to correct it once. So I just deleted the whole fucking thing.
Goddamn technology. But it's a great idea, and I appreciate people who
you know, there are a lot of people who have been very, very
very cool on this uh this journey of Billified for sure, a lot of
a lot of people with a lot of power. That really surprised me.
But anyway, it's been fun, less waves than I thought we're gonna be
on this pirate ship. Yeah, how do you feel about Salah the head
coach of the Jets on the flip side? So say, I heard parts
of God damn it, don't bring it up. Oh, I'm sorry,
I did see him commenting. Well, I thought I was busy, like,
I don't know something. His whole thing is getting high, dude,
you literally his guy, and yeah, he's Aaron Rodgers guy, is what
it is. The reason Hackett was hired in Denver before I know this has
been disputed, was because they thought they could he could land Aaron Rodgers.
It didn't work out that way, so they got Russell Wilson. Now you
can he worked with Aaron Rodgers, you can work with Ussell Wilson. That
was a disaster. Now you go into New York and you and Robert salis
like defending the whole situation with the Jets and blah blah blah. But at
the end of the day, though, you know, Danny, did you
do you really that? Could you pick this one? Yeah? You don't
like it? Jesus Christ, what the fuck that? Where are your taste
butts? I like this one's sweet. It's a dry wine. Sweet,
it's dry. It's a dry wine. Anyway. You'ly you're competitive because that
Bill Moran three buck chockets. It's not a seventy dollars bottle. You're only
competitive, you're like competitive because you have Aaron Rodgers. Well, potentially,
potentially that's gonna be okay, it's gonna give me great satisfaction. And I
want to put the finger up at the end of the year, when the
Jets are still the freaking Jets. You don't like this wine. Um,
you better like shoe and you can say no. I mean, I'm not
sure that I do. To be going honest with you, I'm not sure
that I think it's very good. All right, you like it salty,
but I do like reds. It's got antioxidants. Is that that's what your
taste? Yes, you know, one of the anything that's slightly healthy for
the Get at the fuck out of my body. It's a unique variety of
fresh cherryot romans and light hints of vanilla mixed with carefully barreled aged for twenty
five months. All right, we have to dry elephant right outside our studio.
Okay, please tell me if there's a woman walking down after this.
A gentleman walked by, and any guy knows this. He's going in to
get Chinese food from the restaurant that's two doors down from our studio here in
Fairport. And he stopped, paused, turned but not completely around, said
something over his shoulder, and kept walking. And I go, it has
to be a woman on the other end of the receiving end of whatever you're
saying. But nobody's walked down. I haven't seen anybody. Yeah, we're
waiting for that girl to walk by anybody. Comedy at the Carson welcomes Christopher

and subscribe to Bilified wherever you get your podcast. Well, we'll be taking
another um unfiltered an average I think Sunday before we do Billified, and then
I've asked the girls to stick around that they give you part of Bilified.
Oh cool, Yeah, they have a little they bring some energy and they're
What I like about this show is that Stephanie is Stephanie. We all know
who Stephanie is, right and Billified, and Katie is a little more demure.
I think it's the term and tries to and does and I don't want
to use the term naive, but isn't as aware of certain things as Stephanie
was. And I put together some stuff today that I sent them and I
go listen. You guys can put this out on your socials if you wanted.
But some videos that are just very very fun. Stephanie really can step
up. But somebody did text in at five eighty five two or six eighty
eight sixty six Haha, Katie, Oh, this has nothing to do with
that I saw the name Katie and I assumed it was unfiltered, an average
Katie Ashley, who we talked about last night and has been a topic since
Monday. Really on this podcast, somebody takes in this is fantastic, haha.
Katie Ashley's Facebook photo is a porn Starde Williams. We told you this
yesterday. Person puts in parentheses. Don't ask how I know this. My
uncle has been talking to this lady that's probably from some third world kind of
spit on. You did this third world country and uses it. Lena Paul's
photo also a parn star, and he still seems to believe she's real.
No talking sense into him. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Mark is
still texting Katie Ashley. I wouldn't actually either at all. So one of
the things when I googled her last and I googled d Williams last night,
not only did she come up, but there was a lot of Billy d
Williams that came up with that. Sure, yeah, another tax at five
eighty five two or six eighty eight sixty six. Bill. I've been putting
some thought into the uncle Jesse Bs, Danny Gone there is one guy who
I can't believe no one brought up and was like the coolest dude back then
and is still rocking it today. Can anybody think of this person? Guess
they're not bad? Not a bad pick? Here, got a hint.
Walker Texas Rangers. Oh, Chuck Narris from nineteen ninety three to two thousand
and one. Now we did say nineteen eighty nine and if he was on
there from nineteen ninety three, but yes, Walker, I never watched one
episode of that show. I had a buddy who's who stepdad would watch it
every every Saturday night. I go to pick him up a half the way
from him, and it took him forever to get ready and we'd watch Walker
Texas Rangers. Then they made a spin off of it. They did call
Sons of Thunder and it was like his former employee bad is that? It
was pretty bad? Yeah? Somebody wrote Mark the jerk has a girlfriend.
Yuck. I don't know what that means. And then somebody us wrote plum
Crazy Dave is in Yellowstone right now. That's plum Crazy Brenda who we met
out at Victor Victor Chrysler Dodd Bram. Yeah, there you go. I
think the mark one was here. They were not. They're trying to understand
how soldier has a girlfriend, which I think we are still trying to wrap
our heads around that as well. Uh. Have you ever had a moment
where you wake up in the morning and you're depending on something to happen that
day and it's usually of a financial consequence and it doesn't. Yes, yeah,
yeah, that's and and a lot of times most people, most majority
of people work for somebody else they're dependent on, Right, I give my
time and my services in exchange for money. And if you work for yourself,
you're fucking chasing money all the time, or trying to figure out ways
to keep the money flow in trying to get a gift card or trying to
get a gift card. The uh, the city and eployees did not get
paid this morning, and I'm sure it was just a glitch somewhere along the
line. This was just fire and police. Yeah, well I'm saying everybody
else got paid. Yeah, but it could it be a glitch though along
the way, Like I don't know, because so but here's the thing.
A lot of people have bills that come out automatically. So now you're at
risk. You're expecting that and usually live at paycheck to paycheck. Well,
yeah, yeah, a lot of times the money comes in at midnight or
even if you're not living paycheck to paycheck. But potentially, yes, let's
say you got a car payment and that comes out of your bank account automatically,
and maybe you're our GNE and something else, and it all gets paid
in the next couple of days after you've been paid. Now you don't have
the money there, and you don't know that it's going to be there,
and there is the potential that you're either dipping into money you don't want to
or you're overdrawing, which is and it's not your fault, exactly right,
it's right your employers. I mean, like that is rule number one owning
a business. You cannot f with people's pay period. You have to get
that money out there. You just have to. I mean, well,
they're depending on you, you know, faith, but yes, but I
know that. I think this has happened to me more than once. We're
more than once. Really, yeah, where you didn't get paid. I
had check bounces when I had checks that bounced when I did landscaping. But
that was a million years ago, and I didn't have a family, and
I was like nineteen eighteen, nineteen years old, so no one give a
shit. And I thought at some point in radio like money didn't go through,
it didn't get cleared for the day, like they were late, or
they were going to catch up with the next paycheck or money expected to be
there. Wasn't there that kind of thing, And so I can understand that.
I mean, that would be infuriating. And at the same time,
I don't think the mayor of whatever city this could happen anywhere, but it
happened in Rochester. I don't think Mayor Maleek Evans has anything to do with
the actual paying of these guys. But at six am, at six am,
he's getting the call. I go, Could there be a job that
sucks more than mayor, governor president? I can't imagine its town supervised.
They all they all suck. You cannot tell me otherwise. They all suck.
Because this is the kind of shit that resonates and people rightfully so bitching.
And if you're going to be a good person and a good leader,
you've got to listen, and you've got to stop when so and so,
good man, my baby needed diapers and I couldn't you know what I'm saying,
or stand there and it's not your fault, but you have to stand
there and take it for the team. It's hard, man, it sucks.
You're right. It's like when Stefan Diggs drop Street passes at Josh Allen
has some of the numbers. It's not Josh Allen's fault. It's Stef's fault,
but Josh is up there saying the faces of responsibility. I didn't play
the wind. Oh, the faces of responsibility. Pastors go through this too.
At the end of every sermons pass like they hear everybody's bus at the
end of a sermon, well like like how pastor like, hey hear about
so and so, like they like the people like to gossip about each other,
people like to talk smack. People also like bitch and complain about the
sermon. Now, yesterday we talked about the fact that my grandfather did not
talk to my mom for about a year for about a year because we switched
from Catholic to Protestant, and it was a big deal in the Irish Catholic
family. And we've talked about that in relation to shint O'Connor and the passing
of her. I will not elaborate more, but I have my thoughts on
how that may have happened. And she tearing up the picture of the Pope
and how that really like there was a segment of the world that that just
rattled, right. But I remember going to church as a kid, and
then I used to love, absolutely fucking love when they would have prayer request
and I would wait for this woman every year, every every year, every
single week, every Sunday. Jesus, you're ready for her name Ricky Tree.
And when Ricky Tree does that not the most redneck name. And her
husband Darylka and she would put up her she had another brother named she needed
to pray and it was like you couldn't help, Like I'm stifling laughter about
Oh, she was telling me about every single thing. And Darrell's got a
bad back and we're praying for the cyst that's there too, that you know
like that. And then missus Tree a thick woman, yes, And then
she had this daughter that was semi hop but the daughter got knocked up by
somebody and she was praying for that. It was a kid that I went
to high school with, and so I knew the guy and he would show
up at church once in a while and he'd have his name earring dangling down
and it was just like it was the perfect redneck story ever. And I
always I thought, maybe the Catholics have a right in the where you go
to confession and you can talk about these things privately, or you pray privately.
Now, bring your concerns to the Lord is what they used to say.
Bring your concerns quietly, Bring your concerns to the Lord. In other
words, shut up and just say it. And man, but I go.
I would have been very disappointed if when Missus Tree wasn't there, And
she was always there, but when she wasn't there was a few times and
I was saying, yeah, you know, but I always love when you
got a good one. When you got a good one, it was her.
And there was another guy who was like a recovered drug addict and he
had remarried and he had these kids, and everybody just looked like they were
just one step away from fucking going over the line and back into rehab.
And I used to love, it's just terrible, it's awful. It's awful
from you not be a priest, though you'd hear one or two juicy stories
and be like, oh, baby, I gotta tell somebody. Well,
yeah, I have to think, like think about how hard that would be
to be a priest. No wonder, You're like the only thing the person
I can tell is this little kid. And then after he's done, I
just I don't know. But I used to go to this church on the
West Side and they would tell everybody. They'd have like they have so many
pastors, like several pastors, right, so the one pastor goes at the
announcements, and finally after after church is over, please do not bother pastors.
So and so, why with your mini crises mini christs? In other
words, people would start coming up to him and ask him for counseling at
the end of the way. But they said that out loud. Oh yeah,
yeah, yeah, because it was happening. So he's got to tickets
in the Bill's game. He's got to get there. Yeah, those around
on one you gotta go. Uh, there's another time where So they have
this men's conference. So I show up and everybody they started with a prayer
meeting, well everybody they started with a prayer meeting. And the fact that
she had a men's conference and he showed up as a boy, So anyway,
he has a transgendered man to show up, and everybody takes a knee
because that's how you started prayer meeting. Prayer meetings is gonna be really auddle
of boys. But this one guy starts going on. He goes, Lord,
I just want to thank you for everything. And we got several prayer
requests, but I don't want to mention them because people here will probably gossip,
so I'm not gonna say who they are, but Lord, you know
who they are, and I'm just letting everybody know they need to pray for
these anonymous people who I'm praying about, but not talk garbage about these people.
Now, everybody's going every look, is it? Yeah, yeah,
yeah, you got somebody on the side. It was. It's a weird
thing, right, because I would think that most of those things would be
something that you would either tell maybe a therapist or your significant other in a
one on one little pillow talk, or maybe you do pray, which is
wonderful, and you pray and it's just between you. We got everybody has
their worries, their concerns, their resistance that they're all fucked up about but
to do it in church in front of everybody, I mean, and then
they really need attention. But then they would have to go through and we
asked that the tree. Yeah, I used to get like, this is
phenomenal. I mean some of them were the most ridiculous. I wish I
could go back in my mind and remember exactly what we said. It was.
It was the trees. And then the Stokes used to have good ones.
Lois Stokes. Lois was a I mean, she was a church going
lady, and we used to They used to do a sunrise service by the
pond in their backyard Uneaster, and sometimes they would baptize people in the pond.
They would baptize people in the pond, and I used to fuck it.
I go, oh, we gotta go see this ship. I need
to see this ship. How many times you pee in that pond a lot?
But it was just look, I really think in all that stuff,
it's all comes from intent. Right. If your intentions are pure and you're
you're gonna get that, that's what you will get back the intentions up here.
But so is the judgment. Yeah, but the judgment is there and
and it's it's I think this Christians don't care. Yeah, but I don't
like that that the temptation to even gossip is there, because how can you
not. I mean, when Ricky Tree went on and her daughter got not
up by some guy that I went to high school with, do you think
I wasn't fucking judging? Actually I wasn't because I used to look at these
other two girls who were prim and proper and they went to the school that
was associated with the church, and my father and I used to refer to
them as the gray ladies because they were like the most boring plaid like they
were my age, but they were boring, and they they you could tell,
like almost when they would hear something like that, and I'm like,
good, go get it down. Trade You say you don't judge, because
I've been to a bar with you. You are exact. I judge.
I judge. I always say I judge because I'm an animal and I'm trying
to protect myself. I judge. I need to know whether to run.
I will say this, I remind I will remind everybody the churches really are
hospitals for sinners. It's like going to rehab. The fact I wish they
rename it rehab instead of church, because once you're an alcoholic, you're always
an alcoholic. You are recovering alcoholic, but you're still an alcoholic. When
you're a fucking judge, judge, you know you're a you're gonna be a
center for the rest of your life. At least you acknowledge that and you
give it to Jesus. That's number one. Number two, we had so
many we had so many prayer quests in church one time that we filled up
an entire black Ports. Pastor goes, hello, we're just gonna ask you
look at the board tonight. It was a Wednesday night. We're just gonna
ask you look at the board. We got a lot of suffering going,
oh no, here here. I always think, like Danny, do I
get too deep? No judgment? No, no, no, yes,
yeah, got no. But it comes to like we're all sinners. I
always figured this way, and I mean this sincerely, is that you never
get it wrong, and that this guilt of what I did and what happened
and this and that, and we live in this and so then we put
these things upon ourselves where you have tremendous guilt and you feel bad, and
I'm such an awful person I shouldn't. Well. I always kind of have
gotten to a point in my life where I go, I'm not sure that
that's exactly right. I think that we don't. We never get it wrong,
but we ever get whatever we're trying to do done, because if you
did, it would be over right. So you're always trying to get more.
And this idea of punishing ourselves and we're bad and we gotta sacrifice and
we gotta it. To me is it is a flaw flawed premise in my
money today today. You know it's not biblical. I don't know, it's
not. It's like you're not do that, but we do that. We
do that. Take it away, take away the Bible and shit, you
know. One of the things that I have really caught myself do and I
almost I don't know if it's a learned trait or an inherent trait, and
I really don't, but a passive aggressiveness. Have you ever caught yourself or
have you ever had some of the passive pressives? They think like a subtle
shot, like it's a little bit of a everything's cool, but then there's
that as they pass by they punched my neighbor. Hey, it's the more
working. Yes, pass don't we do that to about three times as well?
But that's done more. I think in a I think in a more
brotherly way I like to think. But what I'm saying is that I have
seen myself and I started to go, there's a great thing. And then
it's funny because we had a conversation about this before we turn on the mike
tonight. As to a man, what a man is? What a man
is? You want to know what a man is? A man isn't passive
aggressive a man? That that's a pussy that that's somebody who's not confident in
themselves and isn't strong. And you'll never convince me otherwise. And I have
caught myself being passive aggressive and that's a fucking pussy ass move. But you
realize, yeah, that's the important at the age I am right, I
should have realized this, it's thirty years ago, but I didn't. And
what I'm saying is, if you can catch that shit early, it does
no good because what does it do. It doesn't make you feel better,
It makes you, the person who's being passive aggressive feel worse. It makes
the person who is there not really trust you or feel confident that they can
even talk to you. That back to you, that's a weak thing,
and so or they avoid you completely, which isn't which is right and not
what you want. And so what you need to do is just either are
recognize that I'm being a passive aggressive pussy I'll say and not do it,
or come out and go, hey, you know what early bugs me when
you kind of do that or that and find a night maybe you can find
a nicer way. I don't always. I don't always have something. My
wife does this stuff. We're hey, I wouldn't say no to some coffee,
I go, just say you want coffee? Yeah, right, just
say you want coffee. Because I think most of the time, all of
us, everybody, if you talk to them, they'll go. You know
what I love is when someone just deals straight. I hope that's true because
believe that. But oftentimes people are like, would rather have a sugar coat,
They'd rather have a s But you could also say the same thing in
a nice way, Yeah you can. I mean that's that's always possible too.
But I think the passive aggressive stuff is man that is the sign especially
with a guy. That is one of the weakest things you can do.
Yes, weakest, and I will admit that I have done it, and
I have been weak. And I get fucking mad at myself when I've done
that. Oh yeah, me too. And you know what that that that
that conscious that you have, that's what we call Christ, that's the Holy
Spirit. Rem Hey, look prepent, admit that gilt. Okay, you
know what I would say? Thanks Spirit, Thanks, thank you, thank
you, thank you, thank you for being Thanks Christ, Christ, Jesus
Jesus or Craig Christ. But I mean what I'm just thinking of, Like,
I'm thinking of all the people in my life that I've gone through over
the years, in bosses and other people I've worked for, and I go,
boy, the passive aggressive stuff is such a sign of weakness and so
shitty. And I go, boy, you want to talk about your fucking
fake ass man cards. How about you step the fuck up and be a
real fucking man. And I'm serious, I believe you that passive aggressive shit
is fucking weak. I hate that craft. But yes, waiting to the
last minute to tell somebody your uncomfortable side that fucking fucking weak you need to
be giant, giant pussy and you want to talk about man cards, keep
them well, the people who talk about him usually don't have them. I'm
saying, if they were, if there were such a thing, can fucking
keep them, because to me, that is weakest. But he's weakest,
weakest. That is not, that is not, that's not, that's not
at all. It's right, right, be off, fite billy, be
authentic at all, ms be who you are. That's right sometimes with you,
you know you understand what I'm saying. And I'm coming on strong.
Come to the altar. I get a little bit more of the Sacrament's hot
in here. Kevin's feeding me wine. I haven't been drinking bill. They
like it. Oh, don't get ball of it. I was gonna have
some bar. I'm just joking. I didn't know. I'm totally broken your
ball. A little bit of the sacrament for you there and uh, domeless
less. I'm glad you said that. I'm glad you said that. What
do you mean what you just said? The van card shit, the passive
aggressively, I hate that stuff too. It's well, it's just if you
if you want, if you know, I'm just saying, like for any
of us, and we've all done it. Maybe you even do it.
Not you. I'm saying our languages, our language is bad. In the
Spanish language, I could say ustad, which would mean you directly. Ustads
means you collective. So when I'm saying you, I mean you collective.
You people you, yeah, right, you people, right, all of
us. I think at any point, any any person that's you've probably been
We've probably been passive aggressive with our wife. I was behavior. It's one
of those was easier, right, it was easier than getting into the real
shit. But I'll tell you what aggressive with your wife. It's intelligently no,
it's not you. I'm my weekend. I'm gonna leave it alone.
I am going to Okay, I understand leaving it alone. What I'm saying
is have something that bothers you and then go, well, as you know,
oh yeah, like you know well, like let's say she's talking about
your drinking, like, oh yeah, well I had to carry out the
recycling band with quite a few bottles of wine. That wouldn't tell her carrying.
Maybe it is a little more direct than as aggressive, But my point
being that even that doesn't help in the long run, but undermine, undermine,
undermine, either feel straight or fucking don't. That's what a man does.
Ye, you're chipping away, chipping away, and eventually it's gonna fall
over, So don't do that, right, be direct. Man's why I
drink or or another way And maybe this is passive aggressive is see people for
what they are and don't deal with them anymore. That I mean right right?
You know know who your friends are, no, who your enemies are,
know where you are on the ball field of life and play there.
Yeah, that's it. The usually pinch it. I'm usually in the minors.
We'll take a moment, God is hot the mascot or hey, so

following things like BILLI fine on YouTube. So I go on to uh Rochester
read it today and I see somebody going, hey, does anybody know where
I can get exotic meat? Right here? The tops on South Clinton used
to carry kangaroo. The tops on South Clinton used to carry kangaroo and frog's
legs, but they don't any longer. And then somebody goes, oh,
there there's exotic meat like alligator at the tops in Farmington, and I go,
there must be people who are buying it. Yeah, sure it's available,
but well, that is funny that you say that. But I was
thinking more. No, I was honestly thinking more along ethnic lines. Is
it possible that, like certain ethnicities one of the delicacies is I don't know,
gator meat. I don't know. I mean it could be, you
know what I'm saying, Like like if I said to you corn bee,
if you think of Irish. If I said to you sauce, you think
of Italians, right, So that that's all I'm saying. Rabbit, maybe
you think of French. I don't know, tacos, the kangaroo lunch.
So it's it's such a weird thing. So then somebody goes, uh,
it's a little expensive. But you could check out Exotic Meat Market, which
if you type it in wrong may come up as important site. But this
is amazing. You can get antelope denver leg meat one pound. Their price
thirty nine ninety nine for one pound of antelope denver leg met alligator cheek meat
one pound packaging cheek meat. I don't know why cheek meats better than other
meat. I don't know, because it would almost feel like they use that
the muscle, which would make it tough, right, not ten under I
don't know. Twenty nine ninety nine per pound. Well, you used to
have that restaurant. I think it was was one of Buffalo that used to
have all the exotic burgers, like I think it was flood Rutgers or something
like that. Oh yeah, I used to have all the exact flood Ruckers.
Did that? I didn't either. Uh rattlesake sausage with rabbit and hallopenio
sixteen ounces one pound, thirty nine ninety nine. Are they mixing the rabbit
in? I guess the rattles baby that antelope tenderloin they have uh emu,
they have antelope stu mean they have keep badges. This were like a red
lobster. Yes, it's a zoo attached to a restaurant. Oh wait,
wait wait. Jimmy Schubert always had always had a bit. Jimmy Schubert always
had a bit about going to a fish restaurant, like a restaurant that chilled
seafood, a seafood restaurant, and you walk in and they have that big
tank in the front. Yeah, and he goes it's death row. They're
just waiting, you know. I mean, uh, they have eel that
you can buy. They even have wild bore. How about iguana meat?
Yeah? Uh, beaver stew meat. Do they have golden doodle on here?
No? But they have beaver stu meat. For a pound, it's
forty nine ninety nine unless you get the lyle avenue beaver stumey that's fifteen plus
a bloke up. Don't forget to turn it into receipt, but you might
get touched. How about alligator red meat five pounds ninety nine ninety nine.
Now I'll ask you this. Have you ever eaten something and then found out
what it was? No? No, no, ever have that done to
you? Like then you found out? Because she knows there's things I don't
like, right, she'll put it in there. But it's usually she's like,
well that's got It's usually traditional things though. But if I said to
you all of a sudden, I bring you over your man, just one
hell of a student, I go, oh, beaver. We had a
guy who we used to work with iguana who slid a roast beef through his
ass cheeks and then served it up to a dude, sold it, and
the guy came back and said, the best beat I've ever had. He
completly went out of his way to coplat them if he'd only known that meat
was between one tomula's cheeks. I have a cheek beat. I got ask
carm because I know we were in a Lake Placid that we were looking at
one of the stares that was like a beef jerky star. Yeah, and
I think I bought him alligator and camel jerky. Okay, I think camel
meat here. Now, I've eaten camel toe of a different guy. But
what is the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? Have? Would you eat alligator?
I have have an ostrich? Have you tried I've tried ostrich. I've
tried alligator. Uh, not iguana. I don't know if there's anything I
wouldn't necessarily eat, I mean dog. Yeah, I know in certain parts
of the world I couldn't do that. Somebody's buddy. You don't want to
eat somebody's buddy? No, right, No, it's almost domish. I
only eat my buddy. Um, elk burgers. I would eat alk.
Yeah, I try elk moose. Okay, Antelope, IM a little like
I've heard stories like their stories re too much antelope. You can like get
rabbit or something, or but did a whole family guy about it too much
loop and they're all like fighting some family guys. I was just thinking the
same thing that in South Park. Yeah, but I've had I've known people
who wouldn't eat certain things and then all of a sudden they go, oh
man, this stud is great venison. You know, they don't want to
eat Bamby and that's the bad thing. But apparently there's a whole exotic market,
and I think the Pittsford Wegmans, out of all the Wegmans, sells
some exotic me. Yes, the Pittsford Wegmans, I can understand that they
can't. The people can afford it the most. We'll have alligator to nights.
Why would you like the tail? Hello, the cheek, the cheek.
We'll save the mid section for a pair of boots. That's it.
Pork sausage British bangers eight links away. But that's a weird thing. And
I only saw that in some Chevy Chase movie where he was having setting the
world record, and then it turns out that he's eating testicles like bolt testicles
or bolts. Yeah, I had no idea. No, I've never seen
that, and I wonder if it is delicacy. Look, I remember it
was mostly Eastern European people, but they would come in and they would ask
for head cheese. Head cheese is like the inside of the skull that they
scrape out. They get it into chunks and then they put it in a
gelatin. They put it all together and then you would slice it like a
cold cut and it was called head cheese. It was literally called head cheese
of what though U I would think that it was pig, but I don't
know. Like they scraped the inside of the skulls the cow. It's so
food that you, okay, you've had in a different form. This was
in a gelatine though it doesn't that too, and then you cut it,
you chop it up and put it in the soup. Let's say thing with
tripe Italian like it's it's it's it's the intestines of a trial. I've tried
that. That is some of the nastiest tasting shit ever. I like tripe
hit that you got ahead with the right sauce. Chitlands is hogg intestin if
I'm not mistaken, that's a big Southern delicacy. Yeah, yeah, Chitlands
pigs feet. What about haggership with haggets? No, I don't think I
have I don't even have any that's Scottish. Yeah, I smashed inside of
something else. Wow? Didn't Anthony Bourdine cover all this before? I'm sure
did? Wow? Why would Anthony Bourdine go on, what do you have
to be depressed about? Right? And bet heroin addiction? You got to
like cooking on? I shouldn't say that because I don't know, and that's
a terrible way. And I don't mean to be dismissive of anybody who is
dealing with the press illness. And when you look at things like of all
the people on the planet who would not seem to have anything that we could
look at tangibly and say, why, I get it? This is the
one you know, you traveled the world. Say that about anybody. You
can say about Robert the Goods. Who would have ever thought? I always
thought Robin Williams was more of the fact that he knew his body was going
to decline into Lewis body disease. Yeah, that's what he had. That's
what I thought. But I've heard many people go on about you know week
in the way out. I think even heard your boy Tony Robbins say that
about Robin Williams in a indirect but direct way. Like you know, Tony,
I wish I could have got to him, but I think you didn't
want to see your loved ones have to go through you deteriorating and not being
in control of your own body. It's your quality of life. I really,
I'm a big believers who have gotten older in euthan Asia in that you
know, you get to choose. It shouldn't be against the law because for
so many people, if your quality of life has gone or you're incapacitated,
and it becomes a burden on your loved ones, and that's not how you
want to be remembered. You know, you want to be remembered as the
robust person who was able to do things and enjoy time. It's still hard
to picture my father not being in a hospital bed, and it's it's been
sixteen years, right, it's still like he was. He was like at

kids clean it like my kids clean it. No, Kevin, how many

changed mine and somebody changed you. We're not gonna let your boys. You
don't want your boys come change a pamp or something. But I come on
paid forward, Kevin Man. I remember once though, one of the boys,
man, they ship all the way back to like their hairline in the
back of their head and went straight up. I don't know what they ate,

Danny's going to Nashville with his wife and uh, you're packed, I'll

No? I do not, and debating which are my fifty hats I
should wear down there. I'm not gonna pack hats. So do you know
what you packed? Oh? Yeah you do? Oh yeah, I picked
out the clothes packed him. She packed him? What does that mean?

get the early perfect time of here. It's fucking hotter than ship. Yeah,
I wanted to go earlier, but you know, yeah, hopefully the
band drags. I'm going to I don't mind the heat. I hate people
complain about. I think it'll be I think you're gonna have a great time.

She scheduled some stuff out. She goes, hey, you like this,
I did, sure, do it. Let's do it like this. I
just want to see, like the Grand Old Opera, the Music Hall of
Fame studio, to make some calls what I wanted to make some calls.
I got friends in Nashville. I could audition noxibs. I got no,
I have friends in Nashville that could show you around. Okay for real?
All right? Yeah, let yeah, let me shoot your text and shoot
me at text. I have a friend who's very involved with the Grand Lot.
I've got to check it out with my first she made the plans.
Well, no, she I'm not an organizer. She is. That's her
strength. She loves to plan stuff and she's off from school. So have
at it. Hoss, hoss. That's why there's no baby make that's why.
Well this should be fun man. Yeah, looking forward to city and
we've been there once before, right, Yeah, we were for oh nine
for a morning show boot camp. Yeah yeah. It was BJ Sha yell
at everybody. It was a great time. Yeah yeah, because this kid
got up there who BJ had been a quote mentoring or something, and he
was, hey, how do you turn a podcast? And uh is here's
what he said. It was actually a smart question. He asked, Bob
Rivers, how do you monetize a podcast? Turned into a bonus? In
nine? Yeah? In O nine huh. And then BJ gets out there
he goes, bro, I love you, but you get up here to
ask a stupid question. Like we had a blast. We got to watch
um Bob Rivers band spike in the Impalers at the same place where Kings of
Leo made their debut. Oh really yeah, okay, I don't I don't
remember. I thought they played in that was that was that was not that
was New Orleans. Not that was Nashville, not New Orleans. Yes,
okay, yeah, it's all a blurred to me. BJ didn't go to
the one, and the only thing I know about the Nashville one. I
had a very awkward moment. And I have told this many times, but
it feels like I can just because I'm in the moon. I'm in there
are a few awkward moments I remember. Maybe I should tell this story again.
So it had to do with Jamie Lissou, Jamie who is blown up
and he's all over Gutfeld and he's doing a great, great job and he's
very funny. He's got fantastic delivery. And I've always been a fan of
Jamie Lissous and uh, Jamie was on the WII Show and of course there
was a parting of the ways. And so anytime, I guess it's with
any job. I don't know. I've never worked any other job, but
in radio. I've been doing that sort of thing since I was nineteen years
old. And it was weird to me, like when you leave radio,
it's like no one like you don't I don't know. You've had other jobs.
Sometimes you stay in contact with some people. I guess, yes,
radio, it's like you don't at all. Is that true for your experience?
Oh yeah, when I was, I've been I've been let go three
different times. Yeah, and each time I rarely heard what I mean,
and I would say, like, it's it's a bad thing, and everybody
I left, I decided to leave the break room and stuff on my own.
Person I routinely hear from would be Tommy, and I don't. And
I didn't really, I didn't really stay in contact with anybody after I left.
Yeah, I tried. No, that's true too, so I can't
really say that it's a it's a thing. But it's weird, right and
wait, radio people are fucked up. But there was there was a big
parting of the ways, and it was all of a sudden, like enemy
lines were sort of drawn and I or just and because and so he had
the brother Wei's faction over here and our faction over there and whatever. I
gives a flying fuck one way or the other. But at the end of
the day, it never met a stink over there somebody else. So anyway,
it was when we had Uh, Pat Duffy, who is now part
of the break room, come in and he would read. There was a
prep service and they wrote jokes and he read them. And I said,
we should say, I said on the air, we should send out like
a CD to other shows. This is how you read these jokes. Because
he did it. He did a really good job, like yeah, but
he delivered it. He put the inflection in the right place. He made
jokes on a page that were kind of hack some of them and not not
his, but they were written by somebody else, and he made it and
he brought them to life. He just did. And I remember being in
Nashville and uh, I want. I'm in a bar with Sally. It
was me and Sally from the Old WI Show, and in walks Jamie Lissou
and Jamie or Jamie I. Somehow we wind up at the same table.
Sally leaves and now it's just me and Jamie, and Jamie goes, hey,
I gotta ask you something. Did you say we should put out a
CD of Pat? We should make a CD of Pat Duffy reading these jokes
and send it over to Jamie to show him how it's done. And I
went, what And he goes, that's what I was told, and I
said from whom And he said, brother Weise, and I go, I've
never said it. I've never said that at all. Now I will,
I will. I will fucking put my right nut on the fact that if
you sold that story to Weise, he will say either A doesn't remember or
be he never said that. So I don't know all I'm telling you,
And I'm not telling you that that's what brother Wei said. I am telling
you that that's what Jamie Lissou said that was told to him. I have
no idea, nor do I give two flying fucks about anybody involved in this
story. But I was just like, I'm going, you gotta be shitting
me. You gotta be shitting me. This is how you know, thin
skinned, and things were and it made for tension between two people who had
no tension. Right. But here's the great thing. I had no idea.
I have walked through my entire life kind of oblivious to all this shit
and truly not giving a fuck one way or the other when anybody thought,
because I wasn't out to hurt anybody, I'm trying all I was trying to
do as the same thing I'm trying to do now, feed my family.
That's it. That's the bottom line with all of it. But everybody's boy.
People get all wrapped up in their ship. And that was my Nashville
experience. There's another national experience where like a producer for a show, like
they thought he had barricade himself in his room. They thought he had committed
suicide because he found out he was getting arrested for child porn. No,
he had messed around with an underage boy or something like that in a hotel
child where when he in Miami, And when he gets to Nashville, he
gets the phone call that he's got to come back. So he starts taking
all these pills. And they sent a couple of producers up because the host
will never do the freaking job himself. They said, a couple of producers.
Not you. I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about And all
of a sudden, they like they had to call like uh security to open
the door, and they finally I got out to live for anymore. Oh
yeah, I don't remember this at all. How did you know all this
ship was? Dude? I remember I was the sober one. Remember I
remember I was told all these stories. Yeah it was um, I don't
want to say the show. It was in Miami. It was young young
Yeah, oh wow, okay, I didn't know. Oh yeah, I
do remember that because he told your your your agent who also was gay,
Because yeah, nights, ass, I'm wanting to get up the stairs.
That I was just like, that's kind of weird to say to somebody used
to it was an attorney. I used to call him. My engagement was
looking at his ass. I worked hard on it. Yes he did.
By the way, Like when we went to that trip to Nashville, I
believe there was a there was this convention, like a beauty paget convention or
something going on. The people were making the comic who came out because yeah,
nothing like's taking a bunch of dick radio guys in the same hotel with
a bunch of thirteen year old girls doing a beauty paget. Has anybody seen
this? In June of this year, just because of Nashville and the weird
stuff, and sometimes you get to the outskirts of Nashville getting into some real
redneck areas. My kids now live about an hour and a half outside Nashville.
The United States Air Force and former intelligence official David Grush publicly claimed that
unnamed officials told him that the US government maintains a highly secretive UFO recovery program
and is in possession of non human spacecraft and non humans dead pilots. Both
NASA and other Department of Defense issued statements saying that no evidence has and found
for either. In twenty twenty two, this guy filed a whistleblower complaint where
he asserts individuals shared the concern that American citizens have been killed as part of
the government's efforts to cover up the information. Do we think that, do
you? I mean, I guess there's nothing that we can really rule out,
like beyond the scope of possibility. There's an infinite number of galaxies.
You have to kind of thing. I'm not even saying that as much as
I'm saying that the government kills somebody. But I believe that too. Look
at the mullet on that dude. Uh during a congressional hearing yesterday, is
a dude? Okay, Gruce repeated, somebody walking by the studio and now
he stopped. Wait, come on in, hey, we want you to
meet you. Come on over, Come on over. Then now he's just
gonna wave and walk away. He probably did. Actually, we'll send alive
on Facebook. This is what we do. In twenty twenty two, this
guy follow up shared the concern that American citizens had been killed as part of
the government's effort to cover up the information. During a congressional hearing yesterday,
this guy repeated his claims under oath yes alongside testimony from US fighter pilot Ryan
Graves and David Fraverer. This guy Grush testified that he could not elaborate elaborate
publicly on some aspects of his claims, but offered to provide further details to
representatives. In a sensitive compartment compartmented information facility and a sensitive compartmented information facility,
I never, I never. Uh yeah, well that's what I'm thinking.
They're calling it a scif a sensitive information facility objects. This is him
being at zero point zero mock. That's zero air speed over certain pieces of
the ground. So what that means Just like a river if you throw a
bobber and it's going to float downstream, these objects were staying completely stationary and
Category four hurricane wins. These same objects would then accelerate to supersonic speeds one
point one one point two mack, And they would do so in very erratic
and quick behaviors that we don't I don't have an explanation for what's the speed
limit? From mock, I want to do an apples to apples comparison.
Sucked up? How fast that is? Here's another one with Gruci. Do
you believe we have crashed craft? Stated earlier? Do we have the bodies
of the pilots who piloted this craft? As I've stated publicly already in my
News Nation interview, biologics came with some of these recoveries. Yeah, biologic
where they I guess human or non human? Biologics non human? And that
was the assessment of people which recknowledge on the program I talked to that are
currently still on the program. And was this documentary reverences, video photos,
eyewitness like, how would that be determined? The specific documentation? I would
have to talk to you in a skiff about and a skiff that's the sensitive
compartment and information facility. Do we do you believe this stuff? Do you
think the guy's nuts? I mean, it was kind of interesting because I
did see a lot of people coming out sort of in defense of Shanat O'Connor,
and not that she needed it, but along the lines of hate man.
She was kind of ahead of her time. She told us a lot
and a lot of people are just going, yeah, Prince was this bit
of a dick. I don't know that he beat women, but he was
an asshole. And then you know, all her stuff on ripping up the
picture of the pope was primarily to protest that they were molesting young young boys.
So, but written off is crazy. These kind of people would be
written off is crazy. And yet this guy standing in front of Congress saying,
yet we have non human bodies. Do we believe this? Do we
want to believe this? What would happen if it got out to the general
public anything? Do you think anybody would I mean, I don't think it's
the general public they're worried about. I think what the countries. Oh.
In other words, like people want to say the move and landing was faked.
I don't believe that. But there was a race to the moon with
Russia or and I'm wondering, like if this would a race for a lot
of things, or let's say you're Russia or China and you think you can
obliviate the United States oblivion is so, in other words, blow us into
oblivion. Hey, let's team up with some aliens, right, Let's make
some friends with them first, so that way they'll save us. And I
mean that there's a lot of things like you know, you used to use
the phrase the world was designed by geniuses to be run by idiots. I
still believe that. Yeah, And there's a lot of geniuses up there,
even though there's a lot of geniuses in higher up places, even in the
government, even though we don't necessarily like them or agree with them. Who
might think of all these cockamami scenarios that make sense? So I feel like
if we have them, they all have them, Okay, everybody. But
here's the weird part. But what do you do with them? Though?
But we think Hungary's gonna do the same stuff with their aliens that we would
do with Oura. This is not alegant, this is alien, it's mars.
But okay, taste I can do so all that stuff is valid.
But why would they unless it was take me to your leader. They want
to talk to the leaders. So how is it that like this guy knows
but we don't believe the guy in the swamp in you know backwoods of Okay,
Okay, Kenobi swamp. Anybody who's ever well, I do know for
a fact that NASA does experiments with certain space aircraft in those PO dunk areas,
so they could have people say, yeah, I saw it, I
saw it. That's what they want. That's the reaction that they're looking.
So you're saying that, Okay, that's is experimenting with their own technologies,
right, But they do it in these PO dunk areas like West Texas because
they want, you know, like they get that reaction. So now i'm
that being said. That being said, I do believe that there are aliens,
and I do believe they have found them. And I think the reason
why they believe this dude is because simply he's wearing a suit and time.
He's sounds pretty intelligent, like, he doesn't sound like he's making stuff up.
He's very matter of fact about all this. So is it NASA or
the aliens that are into butt sex? Because that's all they ever do is
I got probe by here probe, but we did hear, we have heard
of probe over over time. I don't know what the aliens that are selfish
to think we're the only beings. Yes, of right, a rational beings.
Let's put it that way. That would be of the universe, not
the planet, but the universe. And so I don't I don't know,
but now somebody's saying that we got it. And I always could just think
why keep it a secret? Why not open or not? Maybe we learned
something. I think it's just intellectual knowledge is power too? Well, Yeah,
I mean aliens are bad. They're gonna invade the They're gonna invade Earth
and take us over. They may just be like, yeah, the Earth's
gonna end with robots versus aliens. We're not gonna be here. Shit,
we just crashed. My bad, it happened. What do he wants to
dude? We're that line from Adependent State. All right, we'll take them
all. With jpy Z's plates and shakes and Brockport love going out there and
getting something like bird is the word right on Main Street and Brockport. The
hardest thing for me is deciding what kind of shake I want. I know
there's so many, right, but I'm never disappointed. You'll never be disappointed
at all. A matter of fact, you can make everybody happy. If
you had Jimmy Z's Plates and Shakes truck come to your backyard, banger,
graduation party, post weather in reception, corporate picnic. How do you get
that information? You go to Plates and Shakes dot com. Or how about
pick up or drop off catering, poppy handles all that and you can find
all the information for that at Plates and Shakes dot com. Well, Conrey's
Irish Pub the happiest place in Fairport or maybe on Earth. Red White and
Brew it is a great place for you to check out if you haven't.
It's at one forty seven State Street. What is Red White and Brew.
It's a tap and tasting room that focuses on New York State, all the
amazing flavors of all the wineries and breweries in the great state of New York,
the Empire State. But you know, right around here we have a
lot of great wineries. Maybe you don't know which one is to go.
I would say do a scouting mission at Red White and Brew. Come on,
man, get a charcoonie board, get a nice flight, you check
out all the different wines that are there. Perfect for date night. Perfect
for date night. They have parking available after five pm in the fitz hu

White and brew rock dot com. The clubs I'm never gaining. It's like
the bottom of the nine man, I'm never gonna win. This basn't done.
I QUI debating what you want? Sac top baby right there? Sound
of an episode of Crams and a bathroom I play and a gang size time
bagging. It's all shot in Chicago. For what you need, Sacy to
a grant of cop that's gotten know he'll be giving us. He does TV
shows too, Gonna John then yeah, because it's all like the Playboy,
Bunnies and stuff Star but a lot of its shot outside in Chicago. I
recognized that oh Man Tuttle from Arns kind of Choppers, gratzkys've seen him,
and that there's a lot of people. So why does everybody always make fun
of Nickelback? I never got it. I had to actually look this up
because I didn't understand it either. I was never a Nickelback fan, but
I never hated him. That was just apathetically, Yeah, they're cool whatever,
because they're one of the biggest selling artists out of Canada. I think
part of it a ton of money. Well, they they kind of like,
I don't want to say sold out, but they drifted like the Google
Doles drifted to the Google Doles were a Buffalo punk band and then they had
name come out and it was acoustic and it was their biggest hit. But
all their hardcore fans were like, yeah, but you didn't get a hit
with your original stuff. And eventually they drift into that what I call mom
rock, right yeah, but they but have a fuck band. It's money
and right, Yeah, I know, I'm with you. I'm not arguing
this in a way. If moms get wet, I'm happy. But like
with with these guys, wow, with with with let's say that, you
know with Nickel with nickelback, I guess they they they have this reputation of
being amanizers as far as like their music, not necessarily the people, but
their music like being frat boys. I don't know, I have no idea.
Now you gotta sit down, since you're you're in here now you came
in, you gotta sit down for a second. You have to. Weren't
you itching to get on? Didn't you have somebody come over and say,
can you get her to come on with Like I thought, somebody came in
here one night and said, she wants to be on your podcast. When
can you make it happen? That's what I was told. Am I am
I making that up? Did I dream it? What do you mean?
Sort of? Okay, So then I'm not full of shit. So Jason
and came in. Yes, Jamison was here and he was doing Man on
the Street stuff. Yes, he walked into the salon and said who wants
to be interviewed tonight? He just walked in and said that. Yeah,
he was super cute. I wasn't there, but the gals were like,
well, Wendy'll want to be just because I'm the owner right right. And
then they immediately text me and said, I think you're going to get a
chance to be on the podcast. And I was like, I've already been
on it once, okay. But then somebody came in and said, can
we schedule a time? Can she come in tonight? And I said,
I have people already come in. I said we can, certainly. I
would do anything. Absolutely just trying to I don't know, to impress the
boss. That's what they're trying to do. They're trying to kiss ass is
what that is? Yeah, because what does the name of the salon?
Forgive me? I'm serious that way it can be a plug. I was
going to did you forget the name about sponsorship? Until you had the kink
girl from Rochester in and then I was like, oh, no, what
do you mean? No, no, what do you mean? People?
It's a different people. Oh my goodness. Like you got a Walmart,
right, you got your toy section and the Actually I like that you said
that you should put the headphones on so you can kind of hear and then
get a little closer to Mike. That's very Actually that what you're Okay,
you can hear us the it's it's I appreciate that you said that, because
I do think that there are people that say that. But I would say,
the people that would hear that stuff and listen and be sort of engrossed
by it are still the same people who aren't going to talk about it,
but we'll go get their haircut, absolutely right. And I think we're trying
to reach adults, and we do a broad spectrum of things, and sometimes
I say some things that are a little salty on here myself. So I'm
just you know. But it's a podcast and we have fun. Well,
it's nothing terrible. I'm an avid listener though, weller because I'm on the
road. Yes, a lot for Paul Mitchell. Correct I remember? Yeah,
I use Paul Mitchell every morning. Yeah, I do. Because your
hairdresser. Yes, Ram Bandy works for Larry. Yes, we're for Larry
James, the Larry James Salon. But give a plug for next door because
I'm forgiving, I'm forgetting the name. We're Revelations Design Studio. Okay,
we are your neighbors. Yep. We've been there since nineteen eighty two.
Wow. Do you guys have air conditioning? We do? Why don't you
working on and we're having a problem. Come on, we had a problem
since nineteen eighty two. How long have you owned it since two thousand?
Okay, I've been there twenty three years. You've been there since eighty five?
Would you start when you were like twelve? I was nineteen, right
right out of high school okay, and went right in vote vocational training.
Huh. And so you've risen up you own and then you're also you teach.
Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of like a team. I'm a brand
manager for so I managed the brand in three states with sales, reps and
salons. Okay, and so you go around and do is there a teaching
element to that? Like what? Okay, there is? Yeah. I
come from a teaching background, so I used to teach it. Sure,
you go for years right as a cospetology teacher, and then from there into
the pal Mitchell world. I just worked my way into you know, educating
for them. So now I have kind of more of a sales position that's
kind of grows from education. We like to call it salucation. Salucation education
drive sales. Yeah, I would think that cunning hair, to me is
a difficult job in that everybody's different. Everybody's hair is different, but everybody
would like something that sort of is accepted and look similar and trying to make
that work on everybody. There's no universal in my mind. I don't know
if that's true, but that's the way I would look at that, Absolutely
true, and it's you know, everybody has different hair too. Some people
have super super curly hair blessing, and some people have super super straight hair,
and some people have five strands, and some people have Chewbacca hair.
Yeah, So you've got to go through and trying to make that work.
It's catch fucking the shortest hair and I know if you want a litt yeah,
it's very thick. One else. So besides that, is there anything
else that you dabble in? There? More salons? There is? I
knew it. I could sense this. Well, you're a part owner of
what No, no, no, no, I'm not a part owner of
anything else. But I am very involved here in fair Port. And I
love listening to you because you are constantly talking about what's right outside my window,
the restaurants, and that. Well, I love I will tell you
that. I love that you call it little Nashville. I think that's fantastic.
What's your take on the bike lane? Yeah, you're not a fan.
I'm not a fan. Okay, thank you. Wow, I'm not
a fan. I'm not a fan because I know that, um, those
businesses that are over there, they do rely on those extra spaces, and
it's already a panic to park in this town. Yeah, like we need
a parking garage. We do. And I have people at the at the
board who came down here one night. I said, please let me know
because I want to invest and I know a bunch of guys in town who
would be more than happy to try to invest in a part can garage.
They keep telling us that they would part in the old railroad bed where you
can go. I don't know what it's called, but it's that lot is
referred to as the Northeast lot, and then it goes out beyond there like
where Campania used to be. Yes in the back. So if you're driving
through the village and you're coming from you're coming into Fairport from let's say Parrenton,
it would be on your right hand side, correct right. And now
the big concern according to the board members, are you part of the board.
So I'm part of the Fairport Parrington Merchants Association. Okay, so the
Merchants Association is a little different. Yeah, you've got your chamber, You've
got your Fairport Parrington Chamber, and then obviously you have your village board,
but you also have your town that's more political. Your boards are more political.
But the Merchants Association is all of the merchants in the area. Um
like MC of all trades belongs and you know a lot of the people around
here do um Damian does. So I was just with me, and I
meant to ask them about the bike when we were talking about many other things
tonight. We have big issues to discuss. You and I m international relations.
Yeah, it was international relations, so the bike. So from what
I understand, and for people who made a note the other night, there
was a big meeting and Channel ten came down and I kept joking that.
I kept saying it was the whitest thing. End a one person's waving their
finger in the reporter's face, and Kevin went over just to see what was
happening and overheard the reporters say, I'm what did you say. I'm afraid.
I'm afraid to talk to these people. And now, no one was
getting physically aggressive in any way. Guys, I know, but they weren't
getting physically here. No, but they were getting aggressive, So we're getting
aggressive. They were angry. And so the bike path, as I understand
it, is if you were coming down the canal and you come into the
village of Fairport, there are stairs, So if you had your bike,
you have to get off and walk down the stairs. There's no way around
the stairs, is there. I don't believe there. Oh No, there's
a tough under there is there's so I don't but you're not allowed to ride
your bike there. I don't think what they did. We used to be
able to ride our bike. But if you were coming from Massad and say
yeah, or what we might consider East Harrington, Yeah, it's kind of
um, did you just make a three one five joke? Well, I'm
I grew up in Palmyra, so like I am, I'm a three one
five or like by birth. But then I came to Fairport, you know,
in Converted. Yeah, you got dust off. You don't worry about
it. You've molted that skin. You're a Mormon. Okay, good,
you know that's funny. And you talk about Park City all the time.
My son lives in Park City. He does yes for Trek Bicycle Okay,
Yeah, started with r V and E right here on me. Yeah,
um cut his teeth there and then now he works for Corporate Truck and he
manages shopkeeper City Bike shop is but he lives in PC. Yeah. And
you talk talk about your uncle and going there and I'm just like that.
It's a beautiful part of the count But Ian moving to Utah and you know,
says I'm from Rochester and they like go nuts because they're like, have
you ever been to Palmira? He goes, yeah, my grandma lives right
on Route twenty one in Palmira. Have you ever been to the Mormon Church?
Have you ever been to the you know, Mormon Hill And he's like,
yeah, I've gone to Hill Kamara before. They're like all excited,
Wow that you know you're a rock star because you're from Rochester. That's funny.
So he works for Trek. But then going back to the bike path
thing, I thought they designed it now so you would shoot off the bike
path and come across the street and then pick up the bike path or the
canal path a little further down correct off of Lyftbridge Lane. Liftbridge Lane doesn't
have traffic that's going very fast. I've never seen anybody be able to not
be able to avoid a car or anything. I like the idea of a
bike path in general. Danny didn't like it, but because on bigger roads
only because at least then I know sometimes with bikers swerving out, you know
what I mean, all of a sudden, that kind of thing. But
that road is not there's not a lot happening there. There's really not.
And granted I know that sometimes as people are parking in front of tks to
grab their pizza, they might not look before they open their door and there
could be a biker coming right, there could be an accident. But I
just think the loss of parking spaces is a bigger issue. Well, would
hurt, it would hurt the businesses. And as much as I saw all
kinds of comments, if you're that lazy that you can't walk a couple hundred
feet to get your pizza, we have a problem. But on the other
hand, if that's my pizza place, I want to make it as convenient
as possible for people, right, That's what I want. So that was
the big thing. But I have to tell you I've never seen, as
I'm watching this a good boy people in other parts of the Greater Rochester area
or watching this go and wish we have these problems seeing what I mean,
there were people yelling. It was phenomenal. So what else does the Merchant
Society do? What do they do? So the Merchant's Association actually puts on
days. So you actually had my daughter in here with Scott Winner. Oh
that was your daughter? Yes, my daughter Lydia just did her first year.
I think we were drinking that night. No, I wasn't. I
just you. I remember your daughter, I remember Scott. Yeah, and
so she had done it, but she had been an intern or something with
them for many years and was her and Scott's son. Correct. Yeah,
Ian Winner, so Lydia and Ian Winner are the now chair people for Canal
Days, which is exciting because I was on that committee for over ten years.
Scott has been over there on that committee for over fourteen years, and
we're really excited to see the next generation take over because otherwise there wouldn't be
a Canal Days if you didn't have the next generation getting involved. So that's
our biggest production. But we also do Scarecrow Festival, which isn't the end
of September. It partners for the Octoberfest that's being done. Yeah, and
Octoberfest is actually produced by another organization, which is the Fairport Partnership. Totally
different organization which Scott used to be part of. Okay, Yeah, there's
a lot of things happen, a lot of things going on, a lot
of things going on, just people, just people being people. It has
grown a launch since nineteen eighty five. Yeah, I mean I think this
now, I was told that did the Morales used to own packets, landings,
the Welkers, the Welkers which are from Macedon. Yeah, and then
it's gone through. But I mean just the changes here, the different businesses
that have been here, and what's happening down at the Canary, it's huge.
So back to the parking issue, which is a big one for the
village of Fairport because look at what they're doing with the old Hpnoion building and
that's going to be huge. Though what are they doing. They're putting the
pickleball in and they're putting in the oh yes brewery, right in the brewery
the box factory. Okay, so wait in the box oh yes, yes,
yes, used to be used to be. It was the box factory
after So one of the things that I've heard is that people who are on
this side of the railroad tracks, which sounds funny to say, are worried
that if parking were on the other side and everybody was going to the Canary,
their businesses would suffer because everything is right there in the cannery. And
Tommy Burnett Brenette really proved that you can make something happen there right, So
now you've got all these other businesses immensely. Who's the person that has And
I think it's more during maybe Fairpoort music Fest that they run a shuttle via
golf cart and they'll bring you back and forth. That is I know it's
it's one of the landlords. Okay, the building that where the compania used
to be before they moved over to the cannery building that has empty spots whatever
wall of our own set. I can't think of their last names all right.
Well, so now they're talking about possibly buying golf carts and creating a
shuttle service that would run people up and down so you could park down in
that general area and it wouldn't hurt the businesses here. And I go,
boy, that's a great idea and what a cool And that almost adds to
the vibe to me, especially in the warmer weather months when more people are
around and into the fall like Peachtree cities. I know that golf carts for
everybody. Lanes and roads and everything get from the bikes and gets golf carts.
I'll be afraid of that. But what about even the vo things that
we see in the cities that have the electric scooters and stuff, bringing that
to a fair poort. Actually they did try bikes for a little while.
They did. Yeah, there were a half a dozen that were positioned somewhere
on Main Street. But I don't think that lasted very long. Man.
People don't want to pedal, no, I mean it's almost especially if you're
out for the evening. You're not thinking exercise. You don't even want to
do any effort more than lifting a something that's twelve ounces at maximum. But
I think that I don't want to the south end to get the bad rap
because I think we've got some growth over here with Have you gone to Rustic
Taco yet? I have not gone a Rustic Taco? I hear it's great,
No, And I understand you're right there is growth's doing an amazing job
over here. Every wine and cheese. I'm really impressed with all the music
that I hear there every night. That's what I'm saying is there's so many
things up and down the strip. To have almost a shuttle server would be
fantastic. Yeah. I mean, well we when we do canal days,
we do it from Church Street. Yeah, so you've got FBC right there.
Ye go all the way to High Street, which is where you've got
the Canary and of course you know Kenny at village in so yeah, there's
they had a banded fair Port Brewing and they must had seventeen guitars sitting around
ready for the band, Like do you need that many guitars as a cover
band, Dan, Yes, yes, no not really unless your food fighters.
I think there were seventeen guitars for four basses. Well, because the
tunings right, they could just so you can keep the songs going if they're
different tunings, you grab this guitar, that guitar so you don't have to
tune because you don't have guitar techs. You know, we're not skid row
bro. That is true. Oh m eighties is guitar tech they do?
Oh yeah look at this. Yeah, this Hampton stole his guitar tech.
I will tell you that. Um. For me, I am thrilled to
be in Fairport, and I mean that honestly. I love driving into this
village. It is the closest thing to a modern day Maybury in my mind.
I love that in this village. And this is a little strange.
There's a whistle that goes off. It's a big almost sounds like a fog
Horn, and I thought it was because we have a lift bridge here that
when a big boat goes through in the warm and weather on the Erie Canal,
the bridge actually goes up. Traffic has to stop. You can continue
walking because you go up the stairs and across the bridge at its highest point
and back downstairs. It's ingenious the way they have done this. However,
that's not what that's about. It's about an old school. If there's an
emergency or a fire, that's how they used to call everybody. We're in
twenty twenty three where everybody's on, you know, digital devices. There's nobody
who is in the need to know that doesn't know. But they voted to
keep that in and there is some little charm about that to me that I
go, yeah, man, I get it. I kind of like that.
And people still ask what is that, and we're like, it's it's
a great conversation. And I didn't realize the number of people that actually come
to Fairport. So when my son, who's thirteen, James, and who
by the way, was had all kinds of testing in school and was different
things like, um, was I don't want to say introverted, but I
think that was one of the things that I'm going He came here and talked
to complete strangers and tape them and I haven't right, But he went out
and was talking to people. There were people from Austin, Texas here because
they had heard about the Erie Canal all their lives. Then the Loopers came
in. But I mean all these different people that come to this, to
to here, not to the city of Rochester, but to the village of
Fairport because of all that's here, and I go, boy, this this
town, out of all the towns in the greater Rochester area, have done
a fantastic job in growing but doing it the right way there, you know,
I mean, zoning is a tough thing, right, It's tough because
you want to keep a uniform look. And they've done a fantastic job.
And I know that there's more restaurants moving into town and all kinds of things
coming. Yeah, I heard some good things about what's coming into the bank.
Yes, so did I. Yes, yeah, all that is that
true? Because I keep hearing that the room and then too say it's like
said, it's got to be the truth, Will Bill. I heard you
could just open up a new CD if you want to. I'm gonna start
of just saying anything. No I did hear was the Cuverroom. And I
don't know if they're if this is like a second location for them, Yes,
because it is okay because where they are as well established. They do
a fantastic brunch. I teach boxing right next door and buddy um. But
it's I think that's fantastic. It's just a fun news for us, and
it's a great place. And it just means more, right, more and
we all I think more as a is a great thing, especially as we
hear all the gloom and doom. I like to think that pockets of where
we live is where the economic strife has never hit. You know, It's
what it feels like in a way. It really does. Well. You
go out on a even tonight, If we probably walked out there, the
restaurants would be packed. There's live music, people are outspending, which helps
us immensely. Yeah. And when you when you think about you know,
when we say things like shop local, a lot of these places are even
buying local. They're buying their supplies locally. I mean, Tommy's all his
whole operation is all about locally sourced products. To make his whiskies and things,
and I think all of that goes goes a long way. Well,
thank you for allowing me to wave you away. Thanks to meet you.
Wendy by the way, Wendy, all right there you go. All right,
well, Wendy, you can stay right there. We're gonna wrap it
up. That's it. Danny's going to Nashville. I'm going to Nashville.
It's big Nashville. Danny's going to big Nashville, Nashville, and he'll come
back and tell us how we compare to Nashville. Yeah, I'm gonna do
a side by side comparison to go on the street and talk to some people.
Kevin and I what don't know yet? Ye don't know yet, don't
yet. Wendy is a listener. This Wendy And for Kevin, I'm Bill
Moran. We'll see you Monday.
