Thanks for getting your pot on, Thanks for telling a friend. That's
how we spread the word about the pirate ship. Follow us on YouTube at
Billified, Billified Underscore Pod on Instagram, Twitter, Bill Moran Radio and all
three boys Moran Boys. When was the last time all three of you guys
have been together? I not last time we were here, right, all
three of you together though, all three of us. Yeah, I want
to say, what was the lesson we were down for Christmas? It was
about a year ago, about a year ago, I think. Wow.
The last time the three of us were together was at last Christmas at Yams.
Yeah, about a year ago. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
but all three of you were together for a little while though, right,
yeah, we were there at least part of Christmas break. Yeah, all
right, because there's been a lot of ripping and busting balls, and primarily
from you. What you just pick on these guys relentlessly because I'm the funniest.
I'm the funniest one. You are, Okay, you literally told me.
I didn't say that ever, you have said percent I think you're the
quickest. I don't know if you're the funniest. I have said that he's
he's funny. I don't know that I ever said the funniest. When did
I say I'm the funniest two years ago? I want to say, now
does it? How does it make you two feel? I don't care,
well, study paycheck, I don't need to. I got you. But
he's funny. He's very funny. He's funny. He's also gets a little
but someone some of his stuff is like self deprecating, and it's in other
words, you make yourself part of the joke, which makes it better because
you're not really picking on anybody in particular. And that's always a little bit.
You know, people appreciate that. I think a little bit more when
I got out of the when I got out of the barbie, I'm gonna
say, it look like a lesbian comedian. Okay, Well that wasn't what
I was thinking, but yeah, all right, okay, that's wonderful.
That's wonderful. What's the matter. And I was just like, look,
okay, so all three guys together, we're gonna go down today, will
be with my entire family, all your aunts and uncles and cousins. And
I was wondering, like, growing up, you know, both my grandfathers,
both on both sides, were gone by the time I was your guys
age. You're twenty three and Jordan's twenty one. But do you ever,
I mean, and you're both your grandparents are on both sides still alive.
Yeah, what were they like to you growing up? At least my parents?
Because I never really knew whether it was like Mamarge was just great.
Great. She's the embodiment of what you think of when you think of great.
Really, I didn't really start to connect with pop Vill until I think
recently. Yeah, he was a little more quiet off. I was always
close with Grandpa. Yeah, yeah, well he went he went to your
McQuaid thing. He went to all my McQuaid stuff. Anytime, like anytime
that there was like a grandparents day or something. You know, I couldn't
always get somebody else to go. Yeah, but because I but I could
always get Grandpa to go. I kind of find it funny that you find
you say, Mom March is the embodiment of what a grandmother is in your
mind. Always go to grandma's house. She'd had the house on the hill,
Yeah, on the backwoods, all of it. Yeah, But I
mean, did she do grandmotherly things. Yeah. She was a pain of
the ass when I was growing up. I don't remember that. You maybe
I was to pay to the ends. Well, it's funny you say that,
because Jackson, do you remember the one time at the Pittsford house that
she was babysitting us and she like snapped on us because we wanted pop corners
on thing. I don't know if it was something, I don't know what
it was. I remember, I think, I remember, really, I
love this. The specific thing I remember from that was her saying, what
happened to those nice, well behaved little boys that I know in the door?
And it was because you and I were just going at each other over
something really stupid. I don't remember what it was. And then nothing,
no, nothing new. And eventually we started messing with grandma a little bit
because we were trying to convince her to like let us stay up later than
what mom and Dad said. We would stay up and watch TV, and
then she would be calling us to like go to bed or go eat dinner,
and we'd eat our dinner, go back to what we were doing,
and she'd be like, why aren't you guys helping set the table? Why
aren't you guys helping I'm like, wow, we did, and we were
we just put our stuff in the in the dishwasher. What do you want
us to do here? What do you want us to do here? And
I just remember she snapped on us because we were just being a bunch of
We were like, what eight and nine? I want to say ten around
there? No, no, because it was before Jamison was born. So
I think I was like seven. I want to say, like you were
like, no, you weren't that one of us. I was like,
you were like eight years old. So when she snapped at you, you
should bring this up to her because it would be funny bring it up to
her. Are you going to might I'm going to avoid this conversation? Why,
well, because I don't need because this isn't the drama we should bring
up in holidays. Yeah, it's kind of what you bring up at holidays.
It's just reminiscing about like the stupid ship we would getting to his kids.
Jamison, sit up a second. What was the did you ever get
yelled at by Oh? Yeah, you got yelled at last year. No,
he didn't get yelled at a lot. Did you get yelled at a
lot by grandparents? Oh? My grandparents? No? No, I don't
think he got yelled at a lot as a kid. I mean, there
was the phrase, what was the phrase, Jameison, God damnit? James.
I used to do it, god damn. Because James and used to
sit in his high chair. He would take his sippy cup and he would
pick people off from across the room. All of a sudden there'd be a
sippy cup in the back of your head, those big heavy four cell phones.
Yeah, you threw that. Then then it was a brilliant idea to
take because you were just a toddler and make a ball pit. So there
was a ball pit in a playpen. And Jamison, I don't even I'm
not sure if you were just beginning to walk or not. You would take
the balls. You were supposed to like play around in the balls, roll
around, you know all this stuff, you huh. But you would take
them and you would just just start them. You would stand up and just
start whipping them. You were just throwing them. You were like in Elf
with the snowballs. Yeah, non stop, non stop for you growing up,
I mean my margin all and probably not as close for you. No,
there's a lot of big changes when you were little, so that that
didn't that didn't go as as for these guys where they had the memory of
being yelled at my grandma. But Jamison got in a little bit of trouble
last year. Was Grandpa at Christmas time? What were you doing? What
happened? You are you doing? What are you doing? What are you
doing? Papa? Grandpa, what were you doing with Jameson? What'd you
do? Jameison won't talk? Speak your truth, boy, Jamison? Uh
what a little guess like a lot often like over and over and over and
he said, God damn it, Jamison. Right, Oh, that's all
right, it's all fun. Remember the joke we played, Remember the Remember
the joke we played on Grandma last year. Marge, I cannot believe you
let him do that. It wasn't him who did it. It was your
aunt and kate him. No, I said, here, recognized it right
away. You guys like I say things and you were in I remember hearing
about Dad told me the story. What was on? I think we posted
on social media. I'll probably come my memories around. Yeah, I forget
what we had her say. I remember you guys face having me about around
eleven forty five. We had said yes, I don't Harry, and then
someone else said, Mike ku Chi is Harry. That's what it was not
funny? Well that's what that's that's what that's like. I saw a video
on hissra Sellar. This guy went to Starbucks and he said his name was
Finn good Mass. You guys, says finger my ass. Of course,
every thirteen year old adult, every boy that has stopped growing at the age
of thirteen, everybody completely devoid of talent, decided to make a name for
themselves on social media. That's all right, you stopped. Hang on a
second, let let's slow down here. So what I want. I'm going
to start with you, Jamison, because it's Thanksgiving, and what are you
thankful for? Really? Money? Money, you've been making money and family
and family. You sit right up into the microphone and the friends and clothes
and and I mean, look at me in the face, look at my
body. Okay, food? Yeah, Jordan, you got anything? Thankful
that I'm gonna finally be done with school, Yeah, at least for a
little bit. Yeah, you're gonna be done. You graduate in May.
Yeah, that's very good. So I'm really thankful that that's going to happen.
Jackson, got anything? Yeah, I'm grateful that I finally have a
plan to really start my life in hopefully July. And I'm grateful I live
in a country where I can pursue for see that. Yeah. I thought
this was kind of an interesting thing with you guys, and I wanted to
to point this out, and I debated whether or not to say it to
you privately or say it like on the podcast. But it's something I've sort
of said on the podcast already, so I don't really have a problem necessarily
singing it again. But I think that I was thinking about this. I
saw something that someone said, you know, life is just a play,
and even Shakespeare had that whole thing of jameson life is a play, and
that you strut and fret your hour upon the stage and then are heard no
more. And a lot of times people say, you know, when they
cross over, they look back and they go it was it was just a
play. There was nothing really all that important there. We made big deals
out of little things. But at the same time, if life is just
a play, you're the author of that play and you get to determine what
happens, and you can write and rewrite the story as it goes. And
I was thinking of you guys, and I thought, wow, like all
three of you guys wrote the story a little differently. And the first one,
the first guy that I was kind of thinking of in that regard,
was Jordan. Because I will say this and it will sound maybe a little
harsh, I don't know. But when Jordan was going and choosing a college,
I didn't necessarily think that Roberts was going to be the place he would
land. Well, no, I don't think that that at all, because
I think you're not let me finish here because you wanted to be You wanted
to go and pursue athletics. You had decided, and you saw your buddy
who was getting recruited by Fisher and all this stuff, and I remember thinking
that you were okay, but how is this going to go? And would
you be frustrated and would you be able to keep up? And would you
be able to do all this stuff? Well, here we are towards the
end of your college career and you're about to break the school record. So
I'm going, yeah, you rewrote the story. It's not going to change
all at once, but you rewrote the story. You made yourself into the
athlete you wanted to be, and I think that, to me, that's
amazing. And I was going, you know, Jackson, who like a
lot of times I think when you were little, I think there were i'll
call it a governor put on you. You put a governor on a motor
to keep it from going over a certain speed or do certain things. I
think there were a lot of labels and different things that got put on you
and different you know, all this stuff. You went and pushed yourself.
You're a waiter. You just you have a full time job. You like
you hustle, you like to go wait tables on the weekends. That was
something a waiter in particular, was something from all the labels that got thrown
on you. Was not something they thought. You rewrote the story. I
read you rewrote the story. I right online that a lot of first responders
say they don't want to wait tables because that's too stressful first responders. First
responders. Yeah, but I mean, my only thing is the communication actual
abilities. All these things that were was I without saying too much, there
were just things that people thought that was to something that would be beyond maybe
the ability. It's not. It wasn't. You did it. You've proved
that you can. You rewrote the story. You didn't, you know what
I mean? And then this little guy over here who's out hustling and making
money like crazy. You can rewrite the story at any point, is my
is my point. And you've you've gone and made how much money cleaning windows
and cleaning garbage casts. I've been doing it for about like what three two
months something like that. Yeah, I've made like five six thousand dollars five
or six thousand dollars. Okay, that's very impressive. And again I only
bring this up to you guys, so for the rest of your lives,
realize that you can change at any time. You can change it to whatever
you want it to be. It doesn't have to stay the way it is.
You are the author, and you can rewrite it. You rewrote it.
You weren't breaking records in school, Jordan, when you were in track.
That wasn't anything that anybody really thought you would do. Here you are
now you're about to Jordan even went so far as to enter a weightlifting competition.
Jordan never knew, had never done it. Shows up, doesn't know
any of the rules and doesn't have a singlet, so he has to borrow
one from a guy. So he borrows the singlet. His underwear is sticking
out. They have to cut the underwear, and then there are rules to
the weightlifting and what did you come in third in my weight class? Because
I suck at math? Whereas so for that competition, I had to convert
everything from pounds to kilos, and I didn't do it right. So I
started out with weights that were lower than what I should have started with.
And if I had started higher, I could have gone higher. Yeah,
but everyone looked at me crazy. When I would jump up from something that
was like like a three, like a three point thirty squad and then jump
to four hundred. Yeah, people looked at me, like, you sure
you want to do that? I'm like, yeah, I should have entered
with four. Sorry. Yeah, And you know, I like, like
you said, I had never done anything like that, but I always wanted
to, and well, finally found. This is the thing that I'm saying
is like I've learned from watching you guys that at any moment, you can
change you rewrite the story. The story is yours to write. You can
be your do or have anything you want. You just gotta now. Is
there some effort involved, Yes, but it should be inspired effort. You
want to be a weightlifter, so you'll work towards that, and doesn't really
feel like work. It feels good. It feels you like the lifting of
the way, you know, lifting weights and doing the exercises and things like
that I think the same thing with Jamison. He likes money. Jamison likes
having money, so he's out hustling. It probably doesn't feel like work when
you're washing windows and things because in your head it's just racking up dollars and
that's sort of what you see and the same thing for you, you know,
I find it very impressive and I so I am actually thankful this year
for the lesson you guys taught me in that you can rewrite it at any
at any moment. What do you want to say? Do you think that
the part, like one of the best parts of being a father is that
when we were born, you got to like imagine what we were going to
be, like just imagining, oh, I just burn this thing into the
world is going to grow up to be for eighty years, it's going to
be alive maybe more, and it's going to do so many things. Let
me imagine the things that they can do, and like, what if they
become like the big Did you ever think of something like that? I did
think that, you know, any one of you guys could probably have the
potential to be president of the United States or whatever. I never put any
restrictions and I tried not to interfere too much. I know that I have
a very competitive spirit, so I think sometimes maybe that can overtake things.
But I never did because I figured you guys all would sort of find your
own way and what you like. Then we'd be there to guide you.
But let's go to what what interests you and not be stuck doing something you
don't want to do it. It was kind of my thinking on all that
stuff. Who are you looking forward to seeing the most? At Thanksgiving?
Later today? Today? Well this will drop on Thanksgiving? Actually, yeah,
so who who do you look for? Who are you looking forward to
seeing the most? Everybody's afraid why why are you afraid to say? I
know you want to see I know exactly who you want to see the most?
Kate Damn. Yeah, Yeah, that's it, Kate, Cousins.
The cousins, Yeah, the kids. The kids all love Jameson and Jordan.
Do you have I don't really have like one person in particular, but
I'm looking forward to seeing Kevin and Grandpa. Yeah. I haven't seen them
in a while. I haven't seen them I think since last year, Like
it's been a full year since I've seen any of them. Okay, uh,
Jameson has been up to pranks and things. He had put a condom
on the top of the tree and then had talked about how he was thinking
of taking a condom, putting some lotion in it, and throwing it on
Jackson's bed. Oh, that's great, County is so great. Please do
that, not fast, dude, You can't catch me. Alright, You're
all right, Please do it, Please do it. Poison your food threw
down because I used a condom and on your bed. And Mom's never gonna
find out. How's she gonna how's she gonna find's gonna dumb as You're the
one who just You're the one, you who just threatened to poison my food?
All right, all right, all right, have a great Thanksgiving everybody.
