00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:21,239
On location and driven by It's Bilified
the Bill Moran Podcast. Well, hello

2
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:25,519
and welcome, thanks for getting your
pot on a little bonus pod today from

3
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,640
Victor Chrysler Dodge Cheep Ram on Route
ninety six, Victor, where you never

4
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,159
know who you're gonna run into.
All of a sudden, there's this handsome

5
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,960
face comes out of the crowd.
It's Brian Gionta. And I every time

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,320
I think I see Brian Gionta,
I always want to ask, like,

7
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:42,560
do you do you ever wake up
in the morning and go what am I

8
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,920
gonna do that? Well, I
got three kids, so that pretty much

9
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,119
dictates my schedule, But yeah,
I do. I love being retired.

10
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,240
I have no problem with the ease
of life that it comes with. But

11
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,439
I'm good. You know you don't
miss any of it? Well, I

12
00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:00,840
miss playing, Yeah, I missed
playing. I don't miss the grind of

13
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,159
it. I don't miss the travel. I don't miss the way my body

14
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,599
felt. Yeah, things like that, And I like being on my own

15
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,000
schedule. Now we're up on the
lake and you can. We got a

16
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:17,200
surfboat, so kids are surfing and
I'm surfing like that's the summertime. And

17
00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:21,120
then I love it. I love
watching my kids grow and go through what

18
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:23,200
they're loving doing. So I'm good. Yeah, And no, are you

19
00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:26,840
coaching still with them at all?
Or I coach my boys. So my

20
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:32,319
oldest is eighteen, my youngest is
eleven, So I coached both their team's

21
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:36,920
assistant coach and see, that would
be intimidating to me if I were the

22
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,760
head coach. I'm not kidding because
you I mean think about like when you

23
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:44,319
look at American sports, right or
sports that are playing in America at a

24
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,560
high level. We've got Major League
Baseball, We've got the NFL, We've

25
00:01:47,599 --> 00:01:49,400
got the NHL, but the NHL
out of all those, and I know

26
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:55,079
the NBGA to some degree now is
becoming more global, but hockey's global.

27
00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:59,000
And you were playing against the best
in the world, so you're really one

28
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,640
of the best in the world when
it comes to hockey. And now do

29
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,959
you know what I'm saying, Yeah, I'm the Gudea along that would be

30
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,840
intimidating. Yeah, I've coached with
some good guys. So Pacalta helped me

31
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,479
coach. He was the head coach. We were kind of co coaches at

32
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:17,120
the time. When I retired,
he was coaching. I helped him out.

33
00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:21,599
Um, besides that, like I'm
pretty easy going, you know,

34
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:24,800
like dealt would be funny enough,
that laid back enough. I just love

35
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:29,400
teaching the kids. I love,
yeah, watching them learn and watch them

36
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,240
do what they love to do.
Like I was in their shoes at one

37
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,240
point. And so for me,
my journey's over. I don't care what

38
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,120
happens to them. I don't care
how much they buy into it. For

39
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:42,039
me, it's about helping them out
and if they take something, they take

40
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,000
something. If not, then what
what did hockey teach you? When you

41
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,280
when you look at even life now, you know it takes a lot to

42
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,280
get to the level and stay at
the level that you played for so long.

43
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:55,919
I mean, what were you the
first American captain of Montreal Canadians.

44
00:02:57,199 --> 00:02:59,800
I mean, that's what an honor
that is, right, and that really

45
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:02,479
to you. But boy, it
takes a lot to get there. What

46
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,439
do you carry forward in life?
I mean, and that's part of the

47
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:09,280
reason I'm doing what I'm doing now, right, Like, you sacrifice so

48
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,439
much along the way from the time
you're thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years old,

49
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,080
you miss out on everything and you've
made the decision to sacrifice those things

50
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,960
and make a go at a career
and the longevity. I was very fortunate

51
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:28,280
to do it for so long,
and I think that's a separator. There's

52
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,759
a lot of guys at that level
that could play at that level for a

53
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,080
day or two, but it's maintaining
it day after day, game after game,

54
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:38,759
year after year. For me,
it was about the sacrifices you have

55
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:44,039
to make and whether you're okay with
it. And that's ultimately also what drew

56
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,599
me away from the game is at
the end of my career, like the

57
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,520
kids had moved around a ton,
I had played eighteen years and I was

58
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:53,080
content going out the way I did. Even though I could have gone and

59
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,759
played a few more years, I
could have gotten more contracts. It was

60
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:01,240
just at that point things had changed. Your priorities change, and what you're

61
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,360
willing to sacrifice change hard decision,
I mean, super yeah. Yeah,

62
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:11,560
it's never easy, like you wrestle
with it forever. And they my last

63
00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:16,399
year coming out of the Buffalo contract, I had contracts for one year with

64
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:20,920
a few different teams, Boston being
one of them, and we went down

65
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:26,439
we looked at houses. We were
looking to move the kids, and at

66
00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:30,279
the end of the day I came
back and I just wasn't ready to move

67
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:32,759
the kids. So we ended up
working out a way that I could still

68
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,360
play one more season or have one
more goal with a Stanley Cup, with

69
00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:40,680
doing the Olympics and then signing with
Boston after the Olympics, and it worked

70
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,079
out to be a perfect kind of
send off. It was like a semi

71
00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:46,319
retirement. I was practice player for
the Amorics and played the one game here

72
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:49,480
in Rochester and then went off to
the Olympics, had an Olympic go at

73
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:53,879
it, and then also one more
chance at a Stanley Cup with Boston.

74
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,040
Well, I mean you had the
Olympics in how long a season are we

75
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:01,439
talking about? Yeah? Ultimately,
like I was training all along all summer

76
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,519
and then skating with the americ from
September to what is that January or early

77
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:12,959
January when you go off for the
Olympics. Olympics was a month and season

78
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,920
into that, right, No,
that was the That was the one year

79
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:20,680
that they didn't uh they had non
NHL players they could play in the Olympics,

80
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,720
and so that was the loopholes.
I didn't have an NHL contract,

81
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:29,519
so I could play in the Olympics
that year and then come back. And

82
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,800
I had a deal in place before
I left for the Olympics. Came basically

83
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:38,120
dropped bags from South Korea and then
jumped in the car to had to to

84
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,319
Boston to start the season with Boston's
unreal. Yeah, it's unreal. Yeah.

85
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,319
Well, so you know when you
when you look at all this and

86
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,360
I'm hearing you and you're saying,
you know, the sacrifice and things that

87
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,279
that goes that way. And I'll
get back to what that is. But

88
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:58,040
as a guy with a family,
you have to find somebody and and um,

89
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:00,600
I have to be careful how I
phrased this, just or my own

90
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:03,720
life, but one of the most
important decisions you'll ever make is your partner

91
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,839
and to find somebody that And I
don't know if I'm gonna say this the

92
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,040
right way or not, but sometimes
the first love is hockey. Yeah right,

93
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,360
yeah, well, I mean they
come in I knew, I mean

94
00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:19,879
my life in high school. Yeah, and not that she understood that hockey.

95
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,839
Hockey never comes first. You don't
want to put it that way,

96
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:28,399
like life, life is life and
things happen, but yes, like that's

97
00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:32,079
your career. And you're driven,
and you're super successful for a reason because

98
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:38,480
you're so driven. Yeah. Um, And there's she understood the fact that

99
00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:42,319
I would be missing funerals, I
would be missing weddings. There was there

100
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:46,279
was times that I mean, you're
not around and and you know, without

101
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:48,519
that support of her, I would
have never made eighteen years and then throw

102
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,720
kids into the mix. That's and
now it just it's it amplifies things even

103
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:57,920
more. So You're you're missing birthdays, you're missing holidays. Um, even

104
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,240
in the summertime when it's supposedly off, you know, you're training every day,

105
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:06,920
you're skating every day, and your
vacations are no longer two week vacations.

106
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,360
It was okay, we can take
three days here because I don't want

107
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,600
to miss workouts, I don't want
to miss skates. And it would get

108
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,240
frustrating at times. But at the
end of the day, that's why we

109
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,319
were able to be so stable in
an unstable you atmosphere. Married somebody you

110
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:24,399
met in high school. So she's
been with you since what seventeen sixty fifteen,

111
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,360
sixteen sixteen. Wow, so this
has really been a journey together for

112
00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:32,240
sure. Yeah, that's awesome.
And the biggest thing is that works because

113
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,959
we allowed each other to grow together. Like I went to my college,

114
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:41,279
She went to her college, she
had her job, and then you know,

115
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,319
at the end of the day,
she had to give up her job

116
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:47,399
she was a teacher to move to
Jersey with me. So there's plenty of

117
00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:50,600
sacrifices that she has had to make
along the way too. Yeah. Now

118
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,399
when it comes to like, you
know, we think of guys who played

119
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:57,120
in long time at a high level, and of course Tom Brady maybe one

120
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,319
that comes. Did you follow something
similar to that in terms of eye it

121
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:03,560
and sleep and yeah, yeah,
everything you do, like like it's you

122
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,480
think of season end. You know, maybe if you're lucky you go into

123
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,000
June you're in the finals or you
know, uh, and then it's immediately

124
00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:15,360
switched on to the next season and
preparing for the next season, and it's

125
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:20,199
it's six days a week of workouts
and skates and and constant, right,

126
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,199
Like you go on the boat.
That's one of the things now as you're

127
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:26,480
retired, you go on the boat, you go up in the adirundeck for

128
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,720
the weekend. You don't have to
worry about Okay, when am I eating

129
00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:33,759
am I doing enough to stay prepared, am I? How long am I

130
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,320
away that type of stuff? Right? So that that's interesting to me?

131
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:41,080
And now, I mean you're still
in phenomenal shape. It's just it's just

132
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,600
your routine. Yeah, Like it's
you drop the kids off at school,

133
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,080
go for a workout and hang out
that way, and then find something to

134
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,080
do, whether it's golf or be
on the lake. You guys, you

135
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,159
guys were the first team that got
the Cup for a day with everybody correct.

136
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,080
Yeah, I'm not sure what the
timing was of it, but yeah,

137
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,279
we had the Cup for a day
in New Jersey. Do you remember

138
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:01,480
the most about that? I mean
all the public stuff? We did a

139
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:05,919
ton of public stuff throughout the day. Yeah, yeah, buddy at them

140
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:09,639
all. Yeah. And you try
to you you know, like you don't

141
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:13,000
get to everyone. You try to
make it as as inclusive as you can

142
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,440
and give back to the community that's
given so much to you. But what

143
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:18,639
you remember is the private party after, right, like your family and friends

144
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,120
or your close knit people that you
know you went to and you know you

145
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,320
had a good time with that,
uh, and they enjoyed the cup.

146
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,360
And I'll tell a quick story.
I guess if we got time. But

147
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,519
so a young it was an old
three. So with Callahan and my brother

148
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,200
Um both young, and they're probably, I don't know, fifteen sixty.

149
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,799
I don't know the exact time,
but they're they're young at the time,

150
00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:43,799
let's put it that way. So
they're thinking nothing of it. They're grabbing

151
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:46,159
the cup, they're drinking out of
the cup, whatever it may be.

152
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:50,919
And so there's this lore that there's
a curse. Right you touch the cup,

153
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:54,440
you're not gonna win it. So
sure enough, those two guys go

154
00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:58,320
on both to play in the Stanley
Cup finals, one with the Rangers,

155
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,879
one with the Devils. Neither of
them win the cup. And so I

156
00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:03,879
don't know if it's my cup.
Party brought both of their cup dreams to

157
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,000
screeching Halter what it was? Do
you ever bring it up? I do?

158
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:11,679
But then but then my brother that's
the problem. Now my brother goes

159
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,600
and he works for Tampa Bay as
a pro scout, and he's got two

160
00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:18,240
Stanley Cups under his belt. So
now, first of all, these Stanley

161
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,960
Cups are the size of the table
we're sitting at now, and mine looks

162
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,440
like a high school class ring compared
to his I mean, so he makes

163
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,639
fun of the size of my cup
ring and then that he's got two over

164
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,799
my one. That's that's really funny. I ribbed him. I earned it,

165
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,039
like it wasn't a scout mid Like
it's a scout, dude. Your

166
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,840
brothers you Joe and Brian Steve.
Yeah, who wins in the bubble hockey

167
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,120
tournament? Oh me all day?
I got one in my basements. So

168
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:46,320
it's easy. I tear the kids
up with that bubble hockey. So easily

169
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,480
I got both of them. Now, is your brother being a scout?

170
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,519
Is there any temptation for you to
go back and do something for a team

171
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,240
or even go into the booth at
some point to do some TV? Yeah?

172
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,360
I get I dabbled in TV a
bit when I was playing. I

173
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:03,279
had done those stints with UM the
NHL Network at the time, and I

174
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:07,879
liked him Um. But there's a
commitment level to it, and I just

175
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,559
I haven't been ready. I did
some part time stuff with the Americ Sabers

176
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,279
when I first started, and uh, you know, Kevin Adams a good

177
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:18,159
friend GM. Now um, he's
he's offered you know, if I'm ready

178
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:20,840
to get into it, it's just
the time commitment. I'm just not ready

179
00:11:20,879 --> 00:11:24,480
to give that up and sacrifice that
when you only have a few years left

180
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,799
with the kids. Yeah, and
they're in their prime, you know.

181
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,799
No, I got you right,
you're in that busy time. You're oldest

182
00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:33,039
is eighteen, Yeah, how many
of you have three? Three? My

183
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,120
youngest is eleven. Yeah, so
you got eighteen, fifteen and eleven.

184
00:11:35,159 --> 00:11:39,279
Maybe in the next five years that
things may change. Yeah, right,

185
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,279
and I think that'd be very I
think it'd be great. In the booth

186
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,799
Man. Yeah, well I thought, Listen, I love PK Suban,

187
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,080
right, but I thought he was
gonna be great, and I thought he

188
00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:52,600
stunk it up in the year.
He could have been way better. Yeah,

189
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,919
he does, like I love and
I love PK. He's a former

190
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:58,639
teammate, so I can give him
crap about it. But how's the French?

191
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,399
Is it still strong? It's it's
tough, It's I've lost all of

192
00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:05,919
it. But my oldest son,
who had the most schooling in Montreal,

193
00:12:05,039 --> 00:12:09,440
we came back to Buffalo and he's
taken French in school and we have the

194
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,759
parent teacher conference and he's tearing it
up. He's got you know, hundreds

195
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:16,759
all across the board because it's basically
bocab and maybe a little bit of sentence

196
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:20,000
structure or whatever. Maybe I'm like, has he has he told you why?

197
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,679
Like it comes easy to him.
She's like no, I'm like,

198
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,600
well, we lived in Montreal for
five years, Like his schooling was half

199
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,559
in French, Like he should be. He should be as in this like

200
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:35,879
bocab test he can't. We got
to push him a bit. Yeah,

201
00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:39,159
that's true. Well, I mean
that's that's the thing I gotta think for

202
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,240
you. Is it hard to to
ever uh you ever need to back off

203
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:46,440
a little on the and I don't
know. Yeah, no, I mean

204
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,879
it's for sure. Your expectations have
to change. And like every one of

205
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:52,960
my kids is different and you have
to deal with them all different. Anyone

206
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,039
that has kids realizes, yes,
um, you can't just not a blanket

207
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,679
parenting style. You gotta change it
up with all of them. But no,

208
00:13:00,799 --> 00:13:03,320
but when you've achieved so much right
and then they're coming along, how

209
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,159
hard that may be for you to
go, come on, I'm seeing these

210
00:13:07,159 --> 00:13:11,840
things. You can do this.
But yeah, the biggest thing is going

211
00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:15,600
in the pantry, grabbing a stack
of orioles or whatever. I'm like,

212
00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:18,000
Oh, you have no idea what
you're doing to yourself, Like you're not

213
00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:20,600
setting yourself up. But I gotta
lay back on some of that stuff,

214
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:24,200
like maybe mix an oriole, protein
shading or something. Give it, give

215
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:30,200
it in something else. Yeah,
that's funny because you probably really were very

216
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,840
You're so disciplined. Were you disciplined
with your diet even at their age?

217
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,200
Probably not like I try to think
I was. But yeah, fifteen sixteen,

218
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,159
seventeen year old kids, you're not
thinking like how much nutrition stuff do

219
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,360
you get? In the NHL?
Do they give you a knowledge way?

220
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,399
Like when I first came into the
league, there was nothing. There was

221
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,120
no nutritionists, there was no meals
provided. Now every team provides breakfast,

222
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,279
lunch, dinner, they have six
nutritions on hand. They'll they'll have to

223
00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:00,519
go meals for the young guys,
you know, so when they the odd

224
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,519
day you're not there for dinner or
whatever, they send it home with you.

225
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,960
So it's a lot more structured.
Yeah, the nutrition and the strength

226
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,720
and condition workout stuff was the biggest
change over the course of my career when

227
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,759
you started, where they're still guys
are ripping darts between periods. Yeah,

228
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,320
legit, Like those guys, especially
some of the some of the Russian guys

229
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,559
that were over there, like they'd
have like the yea, they'd have their

230
00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:24,559
you know, the drop ceiling.
They pump up the thing and getting upgrade

231
00:14:24,559 --> 00:14:30,320
over there for sure. That's funny. Well, those are even their conditioned

232
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,879
athlete, right, I mean you
can't do that and then play at that

233
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,360
high level. Yeah, it was
it was beers handing out beers at the

234
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:39,360
at the end of games, and
now it's the trainers are waiting there with

235
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,480
your protein shake like that's legit,
what happened. So there's been a huge

236
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:46,279
evolution that way. Yeah. Is
the game faster or better as a result

237
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,120
of the players better? Do you
think? I mean, uh, because

238
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,159
we really poison ourselves with that's the
food when you think about Yeah, percent,

239
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,000
that's a tough question. The athlete. I think today's athlete is way

240
00:14:56,039 --> 00:15:01,360
better than previous generations athletes. Yeah, across all sports. Um, I

241
00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:03,919
don't. I wouldn't say the game
is better. The game is different,

242
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,639
like it's faster, it's way more
skilled, but they also don't know the

243
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,679
nuances of the game. And I'm
probably sounding like that old alumnis no,

244
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,200
but like, yeah, I mean
like the game is way like these kids

245
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,960
can do way more with the puck
than any of us could ever do.

246
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,360
But the problem being is they think
you got to beat one on one or

247
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,480
they try to challenge too much instead
of like a two on one or using

248
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:33,279
your teammates. That just doesn't happen
as much anymore. Someone trying to steal

249
00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:35,759
a car, well, oh,
I think it's somebody. It's over here,

250
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,480
somebody touched the coaches that innovaded the
game with the left wing lock too.

251
00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:45,200
Yeah, I mean it was.
It was all that one on one

252
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,960
stuff. No, no, you
always had to use the teammates in order

253
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,639
to make it happen. And so
the game is just different. That's all

254
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:54,120
I can speak to is it's way
more skilled, faster, um, but

255
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,720
just different. What is the uh? What are you driving? What's in

256
00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:03,320
your garage? I gotta a ram
TRX from this lovely dealership. Yeah that

257
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:08,159
is one of them. Uh.
And then we have a Tahoe the wife

258
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:15,879
drives around from the other this dealership
Chevy, and then jeep Cherokee who my

259
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,440
son thinks it's his, Okay,
you know, he thinks this is because

260
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,039
he drives it every day. He
thinks it's his. It is not,

261
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:26,840
it's ours. It was it was
Was that not part of our conversation when

262
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,639
it happened, Like, I'm for
a family vehicle, not a vehicle that

263
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:37,120
my son is having matt up everything. You know, when when they get

264
00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:40,440
to that age, everything is a
family vehicle. Yeah, I agree.

265
00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:45,600
I agree from Victor Chrysler, Dodge
Sheep Ram and Victor Chrysler Victor Chevy as

266
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,000
well, they owned both of them. The this dealership is unbelievable. When

267
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,559
you go inside, I am so
impressed with the layout and it's just very

268
00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:56,519
comfortable state state of the yard.
We want it to be comfortable for all

269
00:16:56,519 --> 00:16:59,000
of the for the customers as well
as the people to work here. So

270
00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:03,720
service departments spotless too. Inside that
in the garage incredible, it's amazing.

271
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,119
It's amazing. You know when you
you know, you're proud of the uh,

272
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:08,720
You're proud of your surroundings, proud
of where you work. The guys

273
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,519
want to keep a you know,
they're they're proud of their workspace and they

274
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:15,480
want to Yeah, you don't want
to show up to a dirty, dirty

275
00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:19,279
place that's a that's a mess it. You know, everybody's got you know,

276
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,839
got some interest in making it work
and uh and having a clean environment.

277
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,200
Yeah. Uh. Do you ever
race Brian on skates at all?

278
00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:32,519
Listen, there's that help of the
table over here, which is you and

279
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:34,640
Brian. Then there's me a cabin. You know, no, I would

280
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,240
never. I'm not in this league, not even you guys were talking about

281
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:44,000
shapes and I'll raced that. We'll
do get the roller blades out, I'll

282
00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:45,200
go with I'll go with that cabin. We'll see what happens. Brian,

283
00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:48,079
what what workouts are you doing?
You ever do boxing workouts? I do

284
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,440
not. I've never gotten into boxing. My wife does them. Um,

285
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,160
I'm more like what I had all
throughout my career is that keep you in

286
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,000
lying the box? I'm trying.
I'm trying to figure that out. Still.

287
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:04,599
It's like I wasn't driving the boat
good enough. Like she's gonna pull

288
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,559
some crap on me here. But
you got to do a few scraps of

289
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,559
the NHL I got into. I
got into tour maybe a third like I.

290
00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:15,000
It was like two and a half
fights, Okay, yeah, yeah,

291
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,279
how bad I didn't win him in
But I didn't lose him, yea.

292
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,599
So my first one was Todd Marshawn
and another Western York guy is playing

293
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,960
for Anaheim, I think at the
time, and I have there's video of

294
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000
it. I love showing the kids. So I get in a fight,

295
00:18:29,079 --> 00:18:34,279
it's my rookie year, and literally
Scott Stevens, the Hall of Famer Ultimate

296
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:40,720
Captain, he literally followed our fight
around, probably four to five feet away

297
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,519
from the fight the whole time.
So in case anything went bad I started

298
00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:47,599
losing, he was he was gonna
be there to pick up his teammate.

299
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,680
I think I got that video.
Scott Stevens just followed me around fight Tyler

300
00:18:53,759 --> 00:18:57,319
Ennis, who's like my Tyler's size, and Sa Daniel Tyro who's like six

301
00:18:57,519 --> 00:19:02,000
nine on skates. It probably wasn't
of a fight. It's probably it was

302
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,079
probably Z just whip him around.
Well, I don't know how you do

303
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,519
that on blades. I go to
me, that is the the ultimate sport

304
00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:12,000
is hockey, because you got you
have to skate. Yeah, you're handling,

305
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,119
you're fighting guys, just getting bumped, you're moving the pop. I

306
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,359
don't know how the hell you do. I've never played, so I go

307
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,680
that to me and then when they're
fighting, I go, this is insane.

308
00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:23,319
It's absolutely insane. That's why I
tried not to do it very often.

309
00:19:23,559 --> 00:19:27,319
It's amazing your brother Joe, who
coached my son for summasonother had a

310
00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:30,680
great ability to teach him how to
do it on skate. Yeah, well

311
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,039
that's it. Well because he was. I played at a clients with my

312
00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:37,839
older brother Joe, and he was
always the enforcer type and always making sure

313
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,079
no one touched his younger brother.
That's that's what he was. So then

314
00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:44,160
he carried that on to the kids
when he was coaching him, like he

315
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,960
wasn't gonna let anyone mess around,
Like nothing was going to happen to his

316
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:49,200
guys, his team, and so
that's what he would tell him. You

317
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,240
go out there, get on the
ice, give somebody a nice big hit,

318
00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:53,680
come on off, and then we'll
go from there. It's like your

319
00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:56,440
nephew and my son. Your nephew's
out there. I always protecting Tyler.

320
00:19:56,599 --> 00:20:00,599
Yeah's that's what you gotta do.
But you know, the thing that scares

321
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:02,920
me a lot because the game has
gone too far the other way now.

322
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,119
It's you know, I know,
we want to keep kids safer. We

323
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,079
got to watch out on the concussion
protocol and all of that, but I

324
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,200
think it's taken a little bit away
from the game. Well, I cringe

325
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,480
every time these guys cut across the
middle with their head down, like it

326
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:21,200
literally is cringey, because we were
taught like you cut to the middle away,

327
00:20:21,319 --> 00:20:23,039
you better make sure there's no one
on the ice, like you are

328
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,799
taking your life in your own hand. Yeah. And Scott Stevens Paul Korea

329
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:33,519
like Lindros. He ended Lindros's career
like just because of that, because Lindros

330
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,160
kept cutting in the middle, like
we watched the kid this season. Then

331
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,440
the acquaintance team came across the middle
and just got just blown up. Yeah,

332
00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:41,160
And that was always part of the
game. It was always and you

333
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,480
don't want to ever like I've gone
through my fair share injuries. You don't

334
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,799
want anyone to get hurt. But
those were parts of the game that,

335
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,079
like you, it was right,
like it's the receiver cutting through the middle,

336
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,680
like you know what's gonna happen.
You gotta be careful. What concussion

337
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,359
protocol obviously, I mean we talked
about all the things that we're changing throughout

338
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,680
your career. From nutrition and workouts, I would assume concussion profocol changed as

339
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,640
well. Did you have concussions playing? Um, I mean not documented,

340
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,519
you know what I mean, Like
it was more early in my career where

341
00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:17,279
it was Yeah, exactly, not
that I remember it was. I was

342
00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:21,079
the one time and I was playing
for Jersey and basically knocked out cold in

343
00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:25,519
Detroit and just came off the ice. I didn't end up going back in

344
00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:27,160
the game, but I played the
next, you know, next game,

345
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,000
which is no longer than two or
three days later. So um, I'm

346
00:21:32,039 --> 00:21:37,319
sure like that's it's classic concussion protocol
right now. Right with all that stuff

347
00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:41,359
in the injury I would assume everything
with injury now too, was to way

348
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,200
more like there was. I got
to Montreal and there was everything was electronic

349
00:21:47,319 --> 00:21:52,200
digital, every all your injuries,
all your reports, all your treatments.

350
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,720
And he's like, okay, well
what do you have from New Jersey.

351
00:21:53,759 --> 00:21:56,680
I've been in New Jersey eight years. I'm like, I don't know.

352
00:21:56,839 --> 00:21:59,039
Did they not send it over?
Well, He's like they sent a one

353
00:21:59,079 --> 00:22:03,039
page file in him, you know, Manila envelope over with your injury report

354
00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:07,480
hurt. Yeah exactly. I'm like
That does not cover all the injuries I

355
00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:11,920
have there. That is not What
was the worst? Do you remember?

356
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,559
Like the hardest one to read?
Was there a torn muscle? And then

357
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,480
yeah, I mean I tore that
knows this he did the same thing.

358
00:22:18,519 --> 00:22:22,000
I tore both my bicep tendons.
Those were terrible, you were wasn't that

359
00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:23,960
within a short period of time?
One? Yeah, like I had one

360
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:27,359
their six month recovery. So I
did one one year, basically missed the

361
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,680
whole year, only played like thirty
games, and then at the end of

362
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,880
the next season when I came back, I tore the other one. Um,

363
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,799
yeah, it's just part of it. But the worst, the worst,

364
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,960
scariest would have been I took a
slapshot to the face and it was

365
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,279
it was four plates, twelve screws
I have in there, like it's no

366
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,400
team play. Yeah, I was
in I was in Tampa and my wife's

367
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,920
watching it on TV. The trainer
ended up calling and be like, oh,

368
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,160
he's fine, he'll be out,
you know for the third period.

369
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,240
Fifty stitches later, my face blown
out there here and I didn't make it

370
00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:02,400
back for a couple of weeks.
Yeah, and he still looks better than

371
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:10,359
us. He didn't even make him
ugly happened? How is that possible?

372
00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:15,200
Just not fair to surgeons. So
both you guys toward the ten and does

373
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:18,720
the muscle roll up? Then?
Yeah, the muscle the muscles mine went

374
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:21,119
up into the Yeah, the same
way. Yeah, man, it looks

375
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,319
like it looks like a popeyeye.
It hurts when it happens. It's like

376
00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:26,480
a quick It almost feels like you
get electrocute ye like this weird. Then

377
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:30,480
after that the pain goes away.
I can't do anything. Were you lifting

378
00:23:30,519 --> 00:23:36,640
weights or something? Oh? Yeah, weights like and yeah, I appreciate

379
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,160
you guys. I was pushing up
front ends they could change tires. It

380
00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:42,000
was close. Man's big. It
looks like you could put a weightlift what

381
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:47,920
so like like a like a moron
that I am trying. I was trying

382
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,319
to lift one of these fifty gallon
fuel drunks for the car. Yeah,

383
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,200
we all use racing fuel on the
cart on that we all guys use racing

384
00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:59,480
fuel in the cars. I rolled
it sideways back up the truck, and

385
00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:03,359
I've done a bunch of times.
You lean the fifty five gallons drum up

386
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,119
against the tailgate, then you pick
it up and push it in. Okay,

387
00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:10,000
and this time here it literally it's
just snaps. Yeah, and you

388
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,680
feel it. You feel that um
you know that like that tinge. Yeah,

389
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:18,119
like you gotta. But after that
it doesn't hurt. Now, a

390
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,920
couple days after the surgery, when
they drill into your forearm and pull,

391
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,640
you know, pull the tendon through
and pin it on the other end,

392
00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:25,920
Yeah, that's when it that's when
it hurts. And then that damn I

393
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,519
mobilize. Yeah, you gotta wear
for six weeks. Yeah, so could

394
00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:33,759
you use your arm after that for
three months? You can't like like immediately,

395
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,079
this happens immediately, can you like
limited? I guess yeah, you

396
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:44,119
lied. You lose to be able
to yeah, to rotate your pate,

397
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:47,559
that's it. So like yeah,
like to be able to open up your

398
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:52,680
palm and close your palm is what
the main driver of that bicep tenderness.

399
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,759
Yeah, so it's not fun.
Oh it's geez. I played with it

400
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,279
though, second time around. I
played three games with it. He looks

401
00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:02,440
at me right now, he's like, you're as sissy. Yeah, it

402
00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:07,960
was horrible. Did you miss Actually
I didn't. I don't think you can

403
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,880
miss work when you're when you're here. You know, that is the best.

404
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:12,440
That is the best I know.
If you own it, you don't

405
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,400
miss work, you're having something.
Listen, even if you're sitting at home

406
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,319
and you're bumming out, people are
still calling, yes, and it's hard

407
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,200
to lift up the phone. Then
I was getting, on the other hand,

408
00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:27,960
phone. What hurts the most when
you get up anything? Nothing out,

409
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,000
That's what I mean. My body
feels good. That's why I'm rather

410
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,720
than retirement, get a good workout
in. But body feels good these days

411
00:25:34,839 --> 00:25:37,680
unlike they used to. Yeah,
I would. Uh. One of the

412
00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:42,079
things that I'm seeing as my parents'
age is the importance of stretching. Do

413
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,559
you do things like yoga? I
do? Yeah, I did. I

414
00:25:45,599 --> 00:25:48,200
did when you did when you played
as well. I love hearing that because

415
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,960
I'm going you know, it's one
of these things where I'm like, I'm

416
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,680
not good at it. But man, I try to stretch every day.

417
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,839
I'm watching my old man and uh, I heard I have a hurting any

418
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,119
disc in my back from high school
football and other stuff. And as if

419
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,880
I put on a little weight,
man, I feel all that stuff I

420
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,880
feel at all. Yeah, and
it's the worst, but I go boy,

421
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,599
that's stretching thing. And I love
hearing a professional athlete go yeah I

422
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,759
did it. Yeah, I loved
it. I would it always felt good,

423
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,960
it sucked, and it would hurt. Like our hips are super tight,

424
00:26:18,039 --> 00:26:21,279
so yoga was great for opening up
your hips and helping that, like

425
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,200
low back and stuff like that.
You got me into doing those bands.

426
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,880
I like bands. Bands are a
great way to stretch and work out,

427
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:33,960
you know, an easy low h
I hit thirty and had to completely change

428
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,000
my warm up routine and like that
kind of thing. Thirty Yeah, like

429
00:26:37,079 --> 00:26:38,680
it just your body starts to shut
down. You don't treat it the way

430
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,440
it should be as far as like
prepping it for practice or you know,

431
00:26:42,599 --> 00:26:47,160
after a game taking care of it. And right around thirty started having growing

432
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,400
and hip and back issues and all
those bands, so like it was it

433
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,039
was a lifesaver. Really yeah.
And who teaches you that stuff? Was

434
00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:56,440
that all the trainer? Yeah?
Stuff? Yeah? Yeah stuff? Yeah?

435
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,440
And so are you do you have
your kids do this now when you're

436
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,759
coaching kids and all, yeah,
yeah, I don't know whether they like

437
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,640
it or not, but they're doing
all that stuff. And then because of

438
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,519
like it is, like anything else
you have contacts, so they're they're exposed

439
00:27:10,519 --> 00:27:15,240
to the best pts and the best
doctors. And someone hasn't tried to recruit

440
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,279
you to their gym in some way
to almost be a trainer or to be

441
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,079
Yeah. No, I mean salt
and something, just like you know more

442
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,079
than you know what I mean.
Yeah, Yeah, it's it's tough.

443
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,160
I like for my kids, I
sent them to places that I love and

444
00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:33,079
that I the places that I trained
when I was going through. But so

445
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,240
you have your people that you trust, um and then you just turn it

446
00:27:36,319 --> 00:27:38,960
over to them. Yeah. And
the family. Everybody's good. Brother,

447
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,200
everybody, everyone's doing good. Both
brothers are doing well and parents are doing

448
00:27:44,279 --> 00:27:47,680
well. And uh my immediate family's
doing good. Good. We were out

449
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,799
here at Victor Chrysler Dotshi Brahm and
it's the grand opening out here. Uh

450
00:27:52,319 --> 00:27:55,839
Matt, you've got now. I
don't want to brag, but I helped

451
00:27:55,839 --> 00:27:59,200
out Jimmy Z. You were selling
it out out here. We were we

452
00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:03,359
were to a point where we had
low card plates with chimmas. But thank

453
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,039
you, thank you for helping them. We appreciate you. Are man.

454
00:28:06,279 --> 00:28:08,359
He calls me, and I feel
like I'm already running. A little lady

455
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,440
goes, hey, can you stop
and get me hamburger and hot dog rolls?

456
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:14,920
I go, absolutely, it was
just the low cart thing. You

457
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,680
know, you're still's gonna fill the
truck up with gas. But he said

458
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,079
to me, he goes, it's
a run. I go, that's fantastic.

459
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,400
And who was bringing some of the
cars by? You got beautiful cars

460
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,359
on the these are they're just a
lot of friends and customers. We've got

461
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,200
everything here. We've got some of
them. Some of the newest ferraris Lamborghini's

462
00:28:30,039 --> 00:28:36,160
Audi R eight's dodges. That Porsche
was out there at the Rainbow. That

463
00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:40,000
was cool looking. Who has the
aud R eight. I don't know whose

464
00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:41,359
it was, but it was beautiful. Yeah, they're usually built right,

465
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,079
they're almost like ready for racing right
off the Yeah, and a lot of

466
00:28:45,079 --> 00:28:47,559
a lot of the guys came back
to see we've got one of our turbo

467
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,640
corvettes up on the Dino. We're
running doing Dino runs today. We've got

468
00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:55,000
some parts being made on the CNC
machines in the back, and we brought

469
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,759
everybody around to see the Hellcat.
Hellcat is sitting right in front of you.

470
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,480
It's the black one. So there's
uh, Like I said, we

471
00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:07,559
got a quite a cross section of
vehicles here today. Some people were Dodges,

472
00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:12,319
the muscle cars. They have like
a twenty four month plan going forward,

473
00:29:12,359 --> 00:29:15,200
and I don't know, I was
just looking at it. It looked

474
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,200
like some of it was to go
maybe hybrid electric on some of these things,

475
00:29:18,279 --> 00:29:22,839
but keep that same feeling in power. They are. Actually that Ferrari

476
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,359
that was here was was one of
the hybrid Ferraris and it's really one of

477
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,279
the most sought after that that's out
there right now. Yeah, that's I

478
00:29:30,319 --> 00:29:32,599
mean, that was one of the
first in New York or you know,

479
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,640
first in this area. But it's
the hybrid is the way to go.

480
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,599
Formula one same thing, hybrid right
now. Yeah, I didn't know that

481
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,880
with Formula one was hybrid. Oh
yea if you if you listen to a

482
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,559
race, you know they're usually on
Sunday morning, you'll hear these guys say,

483
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,559
no, they're charge in the battery
and the user battery for a little

484
00:29:47,559 --> 00:29:49,839
extra power. They have the DRS
which is the where the wing comes back

485
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,000
and they get they get better uh
you know, better airflow and at the

486
00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:56,480
same point they use use the battery. Yeah, I know you're using race

487
00:29:56,559 --> 00:30:00,880
fuel. Ever, race just like
hot laps. Maybe down at Watkins Clan.

488
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:06,920
I don't know. I don't I'm
saying something bad. I'm I'm the

489
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,640
straight line thing. I'm not done. Okay. So I used to raise

490
00:30:10,319 --> 00:30:12,559
back in the back in the days, which I did that for you know,

491
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,839
probably seven or eight years. But
no road racing. So drag drag,

492
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,720
Yeah, I like that. Let
me rephrase that. I like drag

493
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,759
racing. Yes, no, yeah, that's true. I wouldn't look at

494
00:30:26,039 --> 00:30:30,039
I totally missed that. My head
wasn't even there. And when somebody says

495
00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:32,680
to meet drag, the first thing
I think is drag racing. Well as

496
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,319
you Yeah, yeah, that that
fires up nice. All right, we'll

497
00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:40,240
take a moment where Victor Chrysler dodged
deep Ram a little bonus episode. Look,

498
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:42,240
there's the duck from the jeeps.
Got the duck, got plenty of

499
00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:47,079
food out here. Plumb crazy Brenda's
here? Is she here? She's here?

500
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,000
Oh, we'll have to meet plumb
crazy Brenda. Maybe we'll bring her

501
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:56,119
on the podcast. We'll do that
next. What are you excited their first

502
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,440
ever episode? I know? Wow? Well, I think coming off that

503
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,319
episode Bill, we were we had
a lot of fans we did and confidence

504
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,079
and there was a lot that we
wanted to say. And part of the

505
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,359
name is unfiltered in Average and we
just wanted to be raw and real and

506
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,079
have some good conversation. Well,
I feel like that sums up our personalities.

507
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,359
We don't really care what people think. We're saying all the things people

508
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:27,279
are thinking. What won't say for
Ballsy? Where Ballsy were fun? Unfiltered

509
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:34,960
an average? Wherever you get your
podcasts bid he saw on location driven by

510
00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:41,799
Victor Chrysler Dogs Chief ram Man.
Listen to that engine that sounds that's the

511
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:47,960
Camaro. Yes, that's you gotta
get ready him. Wow. So we

512
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,680
finally got carm Indiana to come out
and be part of this owner of Victor

513
00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:56,599
Chrysler, Dotsy Ram and Victor Chevrolet. Yes, under protests he needs about

514
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,759
three people fanning Heim, What do
you mean under protests? Just fantastic.

515
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,000
So if we went to you,
like, I have a lot of questions

516
00:32:04,079 --> 00:32:07,240
for you, Okay, no,
but in terms of like owning a car

517
00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:10,880
dealer, it has to be NonStop
for you all day, every day,

518
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,480
even days when you're closed. Yes, it's it's a truly a twenty four

519
00:32:15,599 --> 00:32:17,559
seven job. It is your your
phone's going off, you know, whether

520
00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:21,440
it's a sales customer or a service
customer, and you want to make sure

521
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,079
that you're available, you know,
whenever you can for these customers, because

522
00:32:24,319 --> 00:32:27,799
it can be frightening. You know, look at you. You know you

523
00:32:27,839 --> 00:32:30,480
get a hold an the tire,
you don't know what to do. We

524
00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:32,119
want to make sure that you know, even if it's on a holiday,

525
00:32:32,119 --> 00:32:36,279
we might not be able to handle
handle it on that holiday, but tell

526
00:32:36,359 --> 00:32:37,640
you you know when we can take
care of you and that it's going to

527
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,039
be okay. I watched him in
Lake Placid. We were up there for

528
00:32:40,119 --> 00:32:44,240
a hockey tournament. He was on
his phone making calls and making sales and

529
00:32:44,359 --> 00:32:49,680
making money while he's watching this kid
play your sales department, and I don't

530
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,279
know who it was in there.
I watched them come out, and I

531
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,920
told this to your brother Matt when
he came on the podcast. They were

532
00:32:55,079 --> 00:33:00,599
so impressive the way they talk to
the customer and the first thing, and

533
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,480
I just thought this was really really
telling you. I don't know if this

534
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:06,480
is part of a training thing you
guys I have no idea, came out

535
00:33:06,519 --> 00:33:09,119
and said to this lady, ma'am, it's under warranty, and then explained

536
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:14,079
everything. But I thought that was
awesome because what's the first thing. How

537
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,319
much is this going to cost me? How much is this gonna cost me?

538
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:19,160
And I was like, boy,
that's smart, and like you saw

539
00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:22,039
the lady and then they interact and
I'm like, man, these guys got

540
00:33:22,119 --> 00:33:25,359
it going on out here, just
in terms of you know, we're just

541
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,559
trying to have a different culture.
We're not trying to sell you our service

542
00:33:29,599 --> 00:33:31,359
you one time. Yeah, We're
looking for customers who are going to keep

543
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,440
coming back. We're trying to build
a brand here, yes, and the

544
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:37,000
way to do it is to just
take care of people, be honest,

545
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:40,119
and help them whenever you can.
You know, there's a lot of places

546
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,119
that might do more volume than us, but they might see that customer one

547
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,160
time. Yeah, we want you
to come back. We want you to

548
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,759
tell your family and friends, tell
your kids, and you know, we

549
00:33:47,799 --> 00:33:51,480
want to take care of everybody that
we can. Yeah, well, you

550
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:54,319
got a great product. I mean, the Grand Wagon here is one of

551
00:33:54,319 --> 00:33:59,160
the most impressive cars to just peek
in and then you've got the whole navigation

552
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,240
system for the passenger and that they
can handle for the driver. I mean,

553
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:07,160
it's just a it's a really amazing
automobile. Almost looks like a Mini

554
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:10,159
Limo suv Limo. It's so long. You know. The great thing about

555
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:15,639
the manufacturers that were associated with is
they make it easy for us. I

556
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:17,559
mean when you look at Stilantis in
the cars that they're putting out right now,

557
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,119
Like you say, that Grand Wagon
Ear, it sells itself. We

558
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,320
had a customer here today who's driving
and Escalade Sport that is the hottest vehicle

559
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,559
out there right now. Everybody wants
one of those because of the look in

560
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:31,239
the ride and everything else. He
drove this car and he said, Okay,

561
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:37,119
I'm trading my Cadillac in today,
did he he? We're in the

562
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:42,119
process of working and I think that's
amazing. Not enough people know about the

563
00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:45,360
Grand Wagon Ear. Once they know
about it, see it and drive it,

564
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,920
it makes our job so easy.
It sells itself. You cannot have

565
00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:52,000
a better endorsement than that guy.
You can't. That's amazing, that's incredible.

566
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,880
So let me ask you, like, Okay, we talk about the

567
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:59,239
job being twenty four seven, what
do you do to blow off some steam?

568
00:34:59,559 --> 00:35:01,360
What's on? What? What?
What gets the juice is cooking.

569
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,760
What I get to do is my
hobby is follow my kids around for sports.

570
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:12,039
That's what I do. They keep
going near that jeep and they're setting

571
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:15,480
off to your alarms. You'd think
they'd unlock him right now. But that's

572
00:35:15,559 --> 00:35:17,400
way too hard to do. It
really is. So yeah, he goes

573
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,239
around with the kids. I've already
done that, and I just, you

574
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,599
know, drink. I mean to
be fair, he does that too.

575
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:31,440
I guess at these now they're having
competing. Yes, we're gonna, we're

576
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:37,440
gonna here. You can't make this
shit up. Bills were probably doesn't work

577
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,840
anymore. He probably broke that too. I didn't break it. I swore

578
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,960
to God, I didn't break it. I have other things I'll talk to

579
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,440
you about. It just says,
hey, well, I have been so

580
00:35:46,559 --> 00:35:51,840
impressed with the Dodge product like that. I'm blown away by the truck.

581
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,679
How it's now. These trucks drive
like a car. They make it so

582
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,360
easy. Used to be like,
even to change four wheel drive, you

583
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,880
used to have to get out and
click all this stuff. And that tool

584
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,960
is way too much work. I
know, they're beautiful. They're beautiful the

585
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:08,199
screen. Yes, yes, can't
beat it. No, So come on,

586
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,239
carm nothing for fun other than chasing
your kids around, you gotta do

587
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,199
something, you gotta you're not racing
with your brother. He goes out do

588
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,679
a little drag race. We do
like our car. So you know.

589
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,199
The thing that's great now is my
kids are to the age where they enjoy

590
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,320
the cars too. Yes, so
it's something we can share. That's when

591
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,000
we're not at sports. You know, we'll go out cruising at night.

592
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,920
Very cool to put the top down
in the car and go for a cruise.

593
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,800
What do you got, Uh,
we got a couple of cars that

594
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:38,159
we like to drive around. You
know. Well he's he's very modest.

595
00:36:38,199 --> 00:36:42,920
Well that's okay. I wouldn't I
would not, I would not push.

596
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,960
But I mean is you got to
see this guy in his Traverse. By

597
00:36:49,039 --> 00:36:52,360
the way, the Chevy Traverse a
nice vehicle. I got into a car

598
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,639
accident with a different vehicle once,
and when I was married, my wife

599
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:58,679
did all this research and the one
that came back was the most airbags and

600
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,880
the most safety was the Chevy Verse
at the time. At the time,

601
00:37:01,159 --> 00:37:07,079
I do have my eyes on a
fourd escort gt S. We're looking for

602
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:12,280
circuit. Yeah, or I'll take
a tempo too. Well, that's very

603
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,639
good, and it looked like a
great turnout today. Oh we had to

604
00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:17,679
have I know, we served two
hundred people with the food truck. Yeah,

605
00:37:19,119 --> 00:37:22,960
Jimmy's he's low carbs and we serve
so many people that you had to

606
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,840
go buy them Brett, Yes,
funds, he called me. I go,

607
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,800
okay, but but they'll live it
down. I'm sure we won't break

608
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:37,599
an Actually, their their food was
great. Had a veggie burger. Some

609
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,920
their fries were amazing. Yeah,
yeah, well everything is at Jimmy Z.

610
00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:45,039
I love that he didn't I like
him. I don't know why.

611
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:46,559
I just I do like the veggie
burger. You do, yeah, the

612
00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:50,719
black what do you get the black
bean? Usually black bean. I do

613
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,480
like the black bee and the spicy
black beans. They're great. Yeah,

614
00:37:53,559 --> 00:37:57,440
they're great. Kevin, who are
we talking to here? I like burgers,

615
00:37:57,519 --> 00:38:04,039
the ones with meat, and we
had done. But I didn't know

616
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,679
you. Hey man has taste,
you know, it's it's fine taste a

617
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:12,159
lot they taste actually there if you
get a good one, no, no

618
00:38:12,599 --> 00:38:15,079
bull, they're they're good. It's
a good one. How is it with

619
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,480
working as brothers with family? Is
that? I mean, is that tough

620
00:38:17,519 --> 00:38:21,239
at times? Or does it?
It seems like you guys get along really

621
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,719
well and business is good. You
both seem to have very easy going man.

622
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,039
I don't know in terms of family
structure. Does that ever tough?

623
00:38:27,159 --> 00:38:30,000
I just listen to what Carmen says
and I do it, and then it

624
00:38:30,079 --> 00:38:32,639
makes everything great. That's the best
way to get true. It's yeah.

625
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:37,119
I sit in the back and then
when I sit in the back and do

626
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:38,679
my stuff and I come up and
he just gives me this look like don't

627
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,360
come up here, and I go
back into my office and that's it.

628
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,000
See, it's a perfect relationship because
he's the brains. I'm the muscle.

629
00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:49,880
So it just goes out. And
that is not the case, not the

630
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,320
case. No, he is he
is the brains as well. I uh,

631
00:38:52,159 --> 00:38:55,440
he just um, he's smart and
knows when not to leave me alone,

632
00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:59,920
like doing trades and things like.
He doesn't want to go on vacation.

633
00:39:00,159 --> 00:39:01,800
He doesn't want to go you know, the sports games with the kids,

634
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,159
because what happens is you do these
trade ins and he'll just look at

635
00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:07,360
me and go, what were you
thinking? What were you exactly? No,

636
00:39:07,519 --> 00:39:10,639
The famous word is who fell in
love with this car? Like?

637
00:39:12,199 --> 00:39:15,480
What is it about this trade that
you love so much that we're going to

638
00:39:15,559 --> 00:39:17,320
lose money on it? Or is
there ten thousand dollars in the trunk you

639
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,320
didn't tell me about? Or you
know where do we get this number?

640
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,360
So you're like good with numbers and
real quick, he's he's he's great with

641
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,920
thee with all the cars and the
numbers and everything. He no, no

642
00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:34,280
ball. I stay away from that
part because he he's just better at it

643
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,079
than me. Yeah. I like
to put numbers on the vehicles and then

644
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:39,000
figure out what we're selling the new
one for and then I'm the one who

645
00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:43,559
reprices the vehicle once you know it's
for sale. So that that's what I

646
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,840
enjoy doing. I get to talk
to banks and you know all that I

647
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:52,199
got you. Yeah, and that's
no fun. Stuff that is no fun.

648
00:39:52,559 --> 00:39:55,000
You know that sounds likeuse say that
so you're saying you're the outgoing one.

649
00:39:58,119 --> 00:40:01,039
I'm possibly an extrovert. I'm might
be, you know, but no,

650
00:40:01,199 --> 00:40:04,840
it's a it's it's a good partnership. Yeah, it looks like it's

651
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,920
a great partnership. You've got this
dealership in the one just up the road,

652
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,519
and uh, this one is I
mean, I was telling you,

653
00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:13,079
brother, the state of the art
stuff is incredible. I have my kid

654
00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:15,239
here and he's saying to me,
this is better than home. They got

655
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:20,719
snacks, Wi Fi TV. We
try to make it the best, but

656
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,039
it is. It's nice. And
I and as I told you on the

657
00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:25,599
podcast, I was telling carm I
was just so impressed with your service.

658
00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:30,800
The way you're the people that work
in the service department handled customers. It

659
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,800
was really really well done, runs
top to bottom. And like he was

660
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,119
saying earlier, you're looking to create
an experience and a repeat customer. They

661
00:40:39,199 --> 00:40:43,320
do a great job. Thank you
for thanks saying that. But it's what

662
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,039
we've We've also created an experience where
they can, you know, come in

663
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:51,119
do some work. Um, bring
your computer in. They've got high speed.

664
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:54,840
Why you've got you got the news
in the background. You can do

665
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,000
what you need to do. It's
a different world now. People are connected

666
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:01,639
all the time, all the time, whether it be for pleasure or like

667
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,559
you're saying, work bringing your laptop
and do it, or if you're just

668
00:41:05,639 --> 00:41:07,760
sitting there. We're entertained all the
time. Now we're scrolling through TikTok,

669
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,119
or we're scrolling through Instagram or whatever
that is. And that's the thing.

670
00:41:12,159 --> 00:41:15,800
Are you guys on TikTok? Not
on? On is Victor Chrysler, Daji

671
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,159
Brawn No, no, no,
get on. Last I saw you're not

672
00:41:19,199 --> 00:41:22,599
even supposed to be on TikTok.
That's some kind of you know, stealing

673
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:28,400
data. The Tiktoka that you're right
there is the worry that it is a

674
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:34,480
it is operated outside of the United
States. My motto is the less social

675
00:41:34,559 --> 00:41:37,960
media, the better. Yeah,
when you know personally, no, no,

676
00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:39,440
no, no, personally I get
that. And in Facebook and Instagram

677
00:41:39,519 --> 00:41:43,960
are good for the dealership. Yeah, they say that there is dealerships using

678
00:41:44,039 --> 00:41:46,079
TikTok. I haven't seen where it
would benefit us yet. Okay, if

679
00:41:46,119 --> 00:41:49,559
it comes to the point where it
does, then we'll talk about it.

680
00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:52,639
But right now, who's in charge
of all that? I handle that,

681
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,320
you handle all the social media stuff. I have a company that I work

682
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,360
for, so I delegate it out, but I oversee all of that.

683
00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:02,239
I don't. I don't even pretend
to know what that was. I just

684
00:42:02,599 --> 00:42:10,119
messed on my space. Yeah,
yeah, I still have an AOL dial

685
00:42:10,199 --> 00:42:19,199
and yeah, exactly that the next
dealership, you guys gonna get something fingers

686
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,079
crossed really, yes, yeah,
wow, that's fantastic. Yes, okay,

687
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,280
any uh can you say anymore about
it? No, I don't want

688
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,280
to say. Okay, that's yeah, well that's great. Well, this

689
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,119
one is impressive. And you know, the Grand Wagon Ere. I loved

690
00:42:34,159 --> 00:42:37,119
hearing the story of the person who
came in with the Escalade, drove the

691
00:42:37,159 --> 00:42:39,239
Grand Wagon ear and said, I'm
trading this in today. Oh it's yeah,

692
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:44,840
it's an amazing, amazing product.
And as it gets out there and

693
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,000
gets more exposure, I think you're
gonna just see those really start to take

694
00:42:49,079 --> 00:42:52,920
over versus the Escalade. Yeah.
Well even Brian, he was on earlier,

695
00:42:52,039 --> 00:42:54,440
right yep. Uh, as he
was leaving, he said, you

696
00:42:54,519 --> 00:42:58,199
know, because we gave him one
of the Grand Wagon ears to try out.

697
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,800
Uh. Well, he was getting
oil change and he said this is

698
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,559
better than my Tahoe and every way
He's like, that'll definitely be next.

699
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,639
Get that. And he called me
an a hole when I told him to

700
00:43:06,679 --> 00:43:07,920
go home with it. I don't
know, I don't understand why he goes.

701
00:43:08,159 --> 00:43:12,880
You know, I'm gonna want this
thing, you know it. It's

702
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,159
just like you know, give him
a little crack and here, just just

703
00:43:16,119 --> 00:43:20,519
drive it. You'll like it.
It's very smart. That's very smart.

704
00:43:20,559 --> 00:43:22,760
I see that. Where did the
sales side of things come from? You

705
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:27,679
always have it? Oh, it's
our father. Our father has been in

706
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,559
the car business his whole life.
He worked at Hallman Chevrolet. You know

707
00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:34,239
when he was fourteen. I guess
back when you can work when you're fourteen

708
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,760
years old as a mechanic and as
a mechanic. Yeah, he went from

709
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,880
being a mechanic to a salesperson there. I remember going to see him down

710
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:44,039
on East Have you where Spot Coffee
is? Yep, that's where. That's

711
00:43:44,039 --> 00:43:47,400
where Halman's was. And then from
there he went to a local Honda dealer.

712
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,480
He was there for thirty five year
or something like that, and then

713
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:53,920
went out on his own and we
started doing this. So he went out

714
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,280
on his own and started the dealership. And then you guys have kind of

715
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,039
teaketing. We all started the dealership
to together. Yeah, what a cool

716
00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:02,840
thing to go into business with your
old man. What a nice tribute to

717
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,800
him. Oh? Absolutely, yeah. I was that he definitely got us

718
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,400
started. And I was gonna say, how tough though, because sometime,

719
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,800
I mean, you know, it's
your dad, but sometimes you're a little

720
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:15,199
harder on your kids. It was
a great experience, Bill, Well,

721
00:44:15,599 --> 00:44:22,480
clearly because you've got the two dealerships
and crossing over my Mike isn't working.

722
00:44:22,559 --> 00:44:24,599
All right? All right, it
was. It was a great experience.

723
00:44:24,639 --> 00:44:29,079
And he was here today, you
know, just hanging out and doing his

724
00:44:29,199 --> 00:44:30,920
thing, and sold four cars while
he was here. That was it.

725
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,119
Look, he still run circles around
us when it comes to cell because he

726
00:44:35,199 --> 00:44:37,440
really yeah, yeah, he does. Well, that's great. Although he

727
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,679
didn't get Kevin to get something new, but it is Kevin. I'll take

728
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:45,199
something new. We just have to
pay for it. That's wrong, isn't

729
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,639
it. We will We'll take a
moment. I think Jimmy Z wants to

730
00:44:47,639 --> 00:44:52,480
say hello, We'll get Jimmy Z. Where Victor Chrysler Dodge Deep Ram were

731
00:44:52,559 --> 00:44:55,320
driven by Victor Chrysler Dodge Deep Ram
and you're you're hearing it all the time.

732
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,119
And people came down and told me
how much they love the dealership.

733
00:44:59,679 --> 00:45:02,159
I don't if you guys met plumb
crazy Brenda and her husband who had the

734
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:08,280
dodge crazy Dodge. Yeah, it
was a hellcat very nice, very nice.

735
00:45:08,559 --> 00:45:10,800
We'll get to that next. I
know a ton of girls that will

736
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,760
refuse to go out to dinner by
themselves. Ye, and those are the

737
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,280
ones that are making the poor choices. I have never gone to dinner by

738
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,880
myself. I will say that you
gotta do it, but I will do

739
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,960
it. I've I've gone to a
bubble where you feel awkward, but right

740
00:45:23,119 --> 00:45:25,880
at the bar where you can meet
people. Yeah. Absolutely, you can

741
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,639
get a lot of free drinks that
way to like what you're here alone and

742
00:45:30,039 --> 00:45:32,239
turn into a fun night exactly.
I think if your social like us,

743
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,800
yes, it's easier to do.
But you got to try that, Katie.

744
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,079
I will try that. I will
try that. But also, like

745
00:45:38,199 --> 00:45:42,199
traveling, you don't need someone to
travel with. How fun would it be

746
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,880
to take a solo trip. I've
done it. I told you I want

747
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,599
to start hiking, and that I
want to do the forty six Peaks.

748
00:45:46,639 --> 00:45:49,760
I want to start that you should, And so I'm always like, but

749
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,840
I don't have anyone to do with
that. I don't and I'm playing you.

750
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,440
I don't need I should. I
want to just focus on doing those

751
00:45:57,519 --> 00:46:01,599
things that make me happy on my
own unfiltered in average wherever you get your

752
00:46:01,679 --> 00:46:08,480

778
00:47:42,119 --> 00:47:45,119
busy. Yeah, and then you've
got basically a side business. There's a

779
00:47:45,119 --> 00:47:49,199
lot of side businesses. Well I
don't know if it's a side business or

780
00:47:49,199 --> 00:47:52,360
if it's becoming like almost an emergent
business for you. And that's the sneaker

a great job on so with it.

783
00:48:00,559 --> 00:48:01,639
Thank you, yeah, thank you. Yeah. Things are you know,

784
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,280
just like anything else. Things are
kind of quieting down right now. So

785
00:48:05,679 --> 00:48:07,400
I had to bob and weave over
the last couple of years and you know,

786
00:48:07,519 --> 00:48:10,639
and buy stuff that I didn't buy
before, you know, and uh

787
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:15,519
and and and move it because now
everyone's getting the four or five hundred dollars

788
00:48:15,559 --> 00:48:17,480
you know, retro anymore. Um, So you just gotta go with the

789
00:48:17,599 --> 00:48:20,840
times. And you know, I
like, I love going into the Nike

790
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,079
stores and you know, finding fifty
sixty dollars air Force ones, uh,

791
00:48:24,159 --> 00:48:28,400
Blazers, air Maxes, you know, anywhere in the sixty to eighty range,

792
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,480
and you know, you flip them
for anywhere from you know, you

793
00:48:30,519 --> 00:48:32,639
know, one hundred to one hundred
and fifty. You know, I felt

794
00:48:32,639 --> 00:48:37,880
like Jimmy and Connecticut when I was
searching around. I found some Nike Patriots

795
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,039
nikes. Oh yeah, and where'd
you find those? Burlington? Burlington?

796
00:48:40,119 --> 00:48:43,800
Yeah? I saw those at Burlington
and run to a second one to find

797
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,480
another pair. Yeah. I was
like, too bad of the Patriots,

798
00:48:45,519 --> 00:48:52,440
And I said, like like iron
cheek kid. I was like the iron

799
00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:54,800
cheek instead of fuck the hold Hogan, I said, fuck the Patriots.

806
00:49:13,639 --> 00:49:15,840

807
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:20,519
Monday to Friday for they're working a

809
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,719
fun than the medical supply company.
It's not bad. It's a little hot

810
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,320
in the truck. It's not bad
though. Yeah. But you're hanging out

811
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,239
with Jimmy and that's like always fun. Yeah, slinging burgers. Yeah.

812
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:36,639
You know he doesn't give you a
fan. Come on, Jimmy, no

813
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,239
fan, no music, ya,
this is you know, this is it.

814
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,239
We're on yeah business. I didn't
even honestly, I didn't even think

815
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,360
about the fan, you know,
so to be honest, I wouldn't have

816
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:45,360
thought of it today either. When
I got up, it was a little

817
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:49,280
cooler, and on the way here, I'm like, dude, this weather's

818
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,239
great. What's it gonna be later? And it was like seventy six when

819
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:53,519
he looked at it and it's gonna
be seven, and then it said it

820
00:49:53,559 --> 00:49:55,400
was gonna be eighty four, and
I'm like, all right, yeah,

821
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,639
so um, so I had to
put the bandana on the forehead. I

822
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,079
like that. The bandanna is a
good look. And I see Jimmy Z

823
00:50:01,079 --> 00:50:06,360
every once in a while puts out
you wading into the lake. Yes,

824
00:50:06,599 --> 00:50:12,280
the lake's warming up now, so
it's not as Yeah. I started when

825
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,320
it was like upper fifties, the
water upper fifty The water was upper fifties.

826
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,480
Yeah, like in May. May
it was still upper fifties in May.

827
00:50:17,599 --> 00:50:22,480
Yeah, and then I finally got
a thermometer so I could tell.

828
00:50:22,119 --> 00:50:25,000
But now it's now, it's in
the it's I'd say it, it's hit

829
00:50:25,119 --> 00:50:29,239
seventy five. Now. The last
night was a little bit cooler. I

830
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:30,320
didn't have my theroometer on me,
but I could tell it was a little

831
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:34,039
bit cooler. Yeah. No,
actually, this morning, this morning,

832
00:50:34,119 --> 00:50:37,440
it was so flat, so clear. Yeah, I just took a good

833
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,360
swim out, you know, and
I could literally go I can honestly go

834
00:50:39,639 --> 00:50:45,280
twenty to thirty yards away from my
from my shore and I'm still standing wow.

835
00:50:45,639 --> 00:50:50,199
And it's all flat concrete. So
I'm really thinking that like back in

836
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:54,039
the day before the water level's got
so high that really like there was some

837
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:58,280
boat launch or something anything. No, the bowl launch. I filled in

838
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,559
so like literally it's when I'm telling
you could walk across. It's like it

839
00:51:00,639 --> 00:51:05,239
feels like a flat piece of concrete
when I first get in, its rocks,

840
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,440
you know. And then but once
you get in, and but I'm

841
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,119
spending more time in the water now
than I ever have. I mean,

842
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:15,719
I'm just this is my the first
time I've been winded down, you know

843
00:51:15,079 --> 00:51:19,679
and not working, uh you know, six and a half days, you

844
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,280
know, and it's fantastic. It's
not odd in any way you ever find

845
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:28,079
yourself. It's not. It's not
odd because my body hurts so much.

846
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,920
Real like I'm almost like an athlete, you know. I mean, no,

847
00:51:30,079 --> 00:51:34,440
no, my body I'm in super
rough shape, like my hips are

848
00:51:34,559 --> 00:51:38,280
off, my hips are super super
tight, like basically my lower my mid

849
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:43,840
back to my hips is like a
crushed Can you need a lady, well,

850
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,519
stretch you out, buddy. Yeah. What happens is they stretch you

851
00:51:45,559 --> 00:51:50,719
out and then and then they mess
you all up again. Yeah that's the

852
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,199
problem. All right, Well what
about now? And without all kidding aside,

853
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:57,760
what about like yoga or something have
you? I do morning routines.

854
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,840
You know, I'm trying. I'm
trying to strengthening myself up. I've gotten

855
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:05,679
to a point where when they did
my meniscus a year like like fourteen months

856
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,199
ago, um he died. He
when he went in there, he was

857
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:13,159
able to see that I had no
cartilage left in my knees, in my

858
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,440
right kneel left from from working.
It's it's yeah, I mean well,

859
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,000
I mean I went too hard for
too long. Yeah, And I mean

860
00:52:19,079 --> 00:52:22,599
I have no regrets because right now
I could, I could literally walk away

861
00:52:22,679 --> 00:52:25,719
from everything, and I could and
I could live life on my own terms.

862
00:52:27,159 --> 00:52:29,760
Okay, and I could live life
freely. He'll tell you, you

863
00:52:30,159 --> 00:52:35,719
know, I'm I'm I'm I live
way below my I live in the dirt

864
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:37,400
like I live way below my means, I guess is what I'm saying.

865
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:42,519
You know, and we just had
and the ketchup ran out, and he

866
00:52:42,679 --> 00:52:45,039
had the bag up there, and
he was when people wanted, he would

867
00:52:45,039 --> 00:52:47,519
squeeze out the last two drops of
the ketchup bad because he doesn't waste anything.

868
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:52,360
Yeah, well I think he doesn't. But I think that I said,

869
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:59,559
you gotta be there's gotta be something
you pleasure yourself. That's a terrible

870
00:52:59,599 --> 00:53:05,199
phrase, pleasure my morning. What
I meant, what I meant, it's

871
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,079
not what I meant. What I
meant was something that's just fun for you.

872
00:53:07,199 --> 00:53:10,000
There's not a car, there's not
something I yeah, oh you've got

873
00:53:10,039 --> 00:53:13,360
that nice. And don't get me
wrong, I have nice things. I

874
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,239
guess what I'm trying to say is
this, I drove the same vehicle for

875
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:20,000
eleven years. Yeah I believe that, okay. And what I'm trying to

876
00:53:20,079 --> 00:53:22,880
say is is that I could have
driven eleven vehicles. Yes you could have

877
00:53:22,079 --> 00:53:25,840
by now, Yes you could have. And that's the definition for me living

878
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:30,480
below my means. Do you think
that that is part of the recipe of

879
00:53:30,639 --> 00:53:35,719
happiness? And I said, sound
silly, but let's look at this for

880
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,599
a second. One of the great
things that money provides, in my mind

881
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:42,840
is freedom. Freedom to be able
to do whatever you want. Sometimes we

882
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,360
become a slave to the high car
payment. You become a slave to a

883
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:52,159
high car payment because you are you
are spending money. You don't have to

884
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,400
impress people you don't like. And
this is my man, Gary Visas and

885
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:59,679
he but that's how it's always been. But you've always lived. But before

886
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,639
Gary kind of came out, you
were doing your own thing. I called

887
00:54:01,679 --> 00:54:06,079
it the broke ass high rollers.
Okay, I like it that I used

888
00:54:06,119 --> 00:54:07,320
to call that's what I would call
them. You know, you don't have

889
00:54:07,559 --> 00:54:09,519
like Poppy would say, you don't
have a dime. You don't have a

890
00:54:09,599 --> 00:54:14,039
dime to throw salt in your eyes, okay, And and that's and that's

891
00:54:14,079 --> 00:54:15,760
that's a it's a Macedonian saying that
doesn't make sense. But you don't have

892
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,519
a dime too, you know,
to go get a piece of bubble gum.

893
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,760
Yet you can go. You're you
know, and you don't have a

894
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,000
house to live in. But I'm
gonna look at this dope ride I have

895
00:54:23,079 --> 00:54:25,400
and then I'm driving, you know, for everybody to see. Yeah,

896
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,880
you know, so that's all.
And I just I never fed into that.

897
00:54:29,039 --> 00:54:30,960
I never was into that, and
not only that, I didn't have

898
00:54:30,079 --> 00:54:34,000
time to buy it any more cards
because I was working seven days a week,

899
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,519
and I was working late nights till
four I think you liked I don't

900
00:54:37,519 --> 00:54:39,199
know if you liked working the four
am, but I think you like working.

901
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:43,360
You like doing business, you like
doing Yeah, I'm not mad about

902
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,679
it. I think I did go
too hard, you know. Oh yeah,

903
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,119
yeah, but I'm all right,
all because you were standing all day.

904
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,760
Well, see what happens is now
I once I slowed down. Yeah,

905
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:57,360
I have to. I have to. I have to. I moved

906
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,599
slow. So like when I get
up from the chair, now I'm gonna

907
00:54:59,599 --> 00:55:00,840
be I'm gonna be moving slow until
I get there. You need to get

908
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,840
you need to go to the plug
and get some yeasies. That's right,

909
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,840
baby, I don't except I don't
wear easies. So I got my lunar

910
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:09,400
forces. I got my Nike Lunar
Force. Okay, yeah, but the

911
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,280
yeasy man, those are some.
I'm sorry, but those are really I've

912
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,079
heard they're super comfortable. I've never
put I mean, I put one on

913
00:55:16,159 --> 00:55:20,280
your foot. No, not even
to try. No, No, I

914
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,360
don't. I don't end with principles
I don't know. I just don't do

915
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:27,840
business with Kanye, yes, you
know, and I and and and I

916
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,159
And the day Kanye started doing business
with a Didas, I stopped doing business

917
00:55:30,199 --> 00:55:34,239
in Dadas okay. And then he's
back with Adidas now, yeah, which

918
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,000
is fine, I mean, which
is good business. You know. I

919
00:55:36,039 --> 00:55:38,519
mean the whole the whole thing was
politics anyways. Okay, so you know

920
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:43,000
if that happened ten years ago,
there wouldn't there would be no huffing and

921
00:55:43,079 --> 00:55:45,719
puffing, you know, and the
Cancil culture mafia wouldn't were you know,

922
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:50,679
they weren't. They didn't exist yet. Yeah. Yeah, that's a great

923
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,599
way of putting it, the culture
cancel of culture mafia. Yeah, that

924
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,880
is. I mean, everyone just
seems to have a problem with everything,

925
00:55:55,960 --> 00:56:00,440
you know. So and um,
you know, Jimmy, well you seem

926
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:01,360
like a guy who just put your
head down and work and didn't give a

927
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,920
shit what was going on. In
terms of that, I couldn't. I

928
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:09,119
couldn't because I never in my life
have relied on government to to for you

929
00:56:09,199 --> 00:56:14,079
know, to uh, to get
my my my my easy paycheck. Yeah.

930
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:19,760
Okay, Like my buddy said something
on Facebook yesterday and about I remember

931
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,719
what his status was. But I
said that, um, I said to

932
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:27,400
him, I said that a non
for profit agency is shoe who'll be running

933
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:31,000
this government? Okay, because there's
too much personal interest and there's too many

934
00:56:31,159 --> 00:56:36,920
too too much dark money being slipped
and that's the read like everything's run by

935
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:38,920
everything's run by dark money. Let's
be honest here, okay, like you

936
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,639
know, uh, you know,
we can sit here and and and say

937
00:56:42,679 --> 00:56:45,079
what we want to say. But
in my eyes, uh, you know,

938
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,960
the left and the right, they're
all they're all they're all on the

939
00:56:49,039 --> 00:56:51,880
same page. Okay, you know, they're they're all punting. It's almost

940
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:53,239
kind of like a w W E
act if you ask me. You know,

941
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:57,519
we're gonna go against each other,
hate each other for six months until

942
00:56:57,599 --> 00:57:00,679
one picks us. But then after
we're gonna be buddies in Yeah you know

943
00:57:00,679 --> 00:57:01,639

want to get all fired up. No,
