Whin your old career gives you lemons throwing some ice mix in some vodka.
We call it a podcast from the Mac of All Trade Studio in Fairport and
driven by Victor Chrysler, Dods Jeep Bram. It's bilified the Bill Moran Podcast.
Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pod on, Thanks
for telling a friend. That's how we spread the word about the pirate ship.
The first unofficial weekend of summer and that means all the festivals are coming
to town, Kevin. Everything's gonna be tacking into high. Lots of things
to talk about tonight. But Scott, Winter is here. And how many
years have you been doing the Fairport Canal Days? Since two thousand and six?
All a long time? I know where all the bodies, Yes,
you do, yes, and now they have Now there's Canal Night. Yeah,
I don't remember Canal Nights. That's a newer thing right, well,
ten years old this year. But we didn't we didn't do it in twenty
twenty because of COVID. Yeah, but yeah, that was a thing where
I'd been there for a couple of years. And night I said, guys,
we have all this infrastructure sitting over here, empty after six o'clock.
Yeah, it's overhead. Let's make money on it. And it took a
couple of years to convince them because this is a very at the time,
a very conservative town and oh, this is a family thing. We're not
going to serve booze. We're not gonna do rock shows. We did some
surveys one year and nine respondent said yeah, we'd do that, and finally
it was a tipping point in today it makes generates almost as much revenue as
the main festival doesn't. Really, yeah, son, we do it over
two nights, two nights, so you do what is it, Friday and
Saturday night? Yeah, so Friday's free, okay, uh, and the
barbecuees there, of course you got to pay for that, but the music's
free. There's no admission charge. Let's put it that way. Include vendors
are there and set up. And then on Saturday, the show, the
regular show, the day show stops at six. We ask people to purchase
a ticket or at the very least get banded, and then if they haven't
already purchased, and then the band started seven. We got mister Mustard at
seven. Mister Mustard's a great band. I know some of the people in
that band. They're very good of the people in that band. And then
Hello City, the oh yeah you know people, yeah, yeah, yeah,
they're terrific. I saw him at Iron Smoke a couple of months ago.
The place was packed and of course everybody there singing every word of every
song. So where where is the stage? Then right behind m conry Okay,
that big stage. Yeah. So when we redesigned that platform to make
it a train viewing platform, the idea was get it up so that it
can become a performance venue too if you choose to. Oh so they'll play
right on that. Yeah. So the railings on the front of that facebo
down. They pull them right out. Wow, okay, they have to,
you know, it takes a little minute. So because on in music
Fest they set up a stage with lights and all that, the scale of
that is, you know, immense. We're modest, but I like that.
So and then we project a tent about one hundred feet by I think
sixty or eighty feet. I think it's eighty five hundred. So you got
some coverage in case there's rain or you know, place during the day.
It's kind of like a there's jazz music. We have five different stages throughout
the day. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Fairport Brewing Village Hall
um right in the front porch there, the gazebo over here, Fairport Junction,
and on North Main Street the Eastman Community Jazz School classes. I'll play
there for two days, okay, lots of music. If you're a jazz
fan during the day, you want to be here on Saturday and Sunday and
Sunday through Yeah, yeah, at night it's a it's an attraction by itself,
but that whole thing has become an attraction over there. Anyway, they
got the caboose over there now and or if you saw that and we get
there's someone from Alaska here. Yesterday day we had two people from Massachusetts there.
They didn't know each other, but they had just both come independently and
met here in Fairport because they want to watch trains. I'm sorry, it's
a nice it just doesn't compete with me. I mean. So we did
research in two thousand and six, yeah, on one on trains. We
focus grouped rail fans in this region, okay, and what we quickly understood
is, oh my god, there's an industry here, and then we started
contacting other major railfan hubs in the country and found out some of these communities
are seeing forty thousand visitors a year just to watch trains. Watching trains been
a lot when I was younger. No, I know, I'm just saying
it's terrible from our perspective. You know, the canal is only a six
month thing, and it's a huge attraction. We've been working to promote that
for forty years. We're the best destination on the canal bar none. Yeah,
but that's only six months a year. Do you live in Fairport now?
I do? Yeah, okay, I'm here in twenty twelve, twelve,
and I've been here ever since. Yeah, okay, yeah, and
actually I live a block away. Yeah, so just walk over? Good
today? I mean I didn't today, you know what. I didn't.
I thought I can walk over and then I'm like, you know, I'm
gonna put in about fifty miles walking this week. I don't blame it,
you know what. Fair enough? And I was at the gym. No,
that's fine, that's fine, all right? Now? Is this your
daughter? No, my son? Your son. I apologize. And the
only reason I said that was she's like, well, you said you said
that that your son was taken over or somebody was going to be taken over
Fairport Canaladays cochairs co chairs. Yeah, so what is that entail being a
CoA chair? And were you ready for all this? Well that's that those
are two different questions. Sure. Uh so, First of all, Ed
Bradford has been the chairman of Fairport Canaladays for the last twelve years. Yeah,
and he was ready to step down and his son Ian and I are
now co chairs together. Okay, so I guess we've signed on for another
decade if we have to follow suit with that wom But to answer your second
question, I think I tell people all the time I bit off more than
I can too. Yeah, but this seems to be Scott you know.
It's Here's the thing. Ian started in two thousand and six when I did,
and he was fourteen, Okay, he's thirty one. Yeah. He
knows the show inside and out, and in the interim Layton High School early
college, he'd come home and he'd be a roustabout with Sean McCarthy. Yeah,
you know, he knows facilities in tents and all that. Intimately,
Lydia grows up with their mom, who's president of the Merchants and was on
the Canal Days committee for years. Yep, she just only stepped down last
year. Okay, Um, yeah, So my mom owns a salon here
in the village and with that she became the president of the Merchants Association and
and like Scott just said, on the Canal Days board. So she just
kind of I was always volunteering. Actually was Scott's intern when he was the
director of the partnership years ago. So I used to I used to run
summer internship programs. She was she was one, My son's wife was one.
Yeah, there's a long list of them. I keep running into them.
I think we added up the time in between Ian and I. We
have like thirty years of experience volunteering. It was nothing official, you know,
whether it was handing out T shirts or you know, selling posters or
picking up trash. But you know, I grew up in Fairport, born
and raised, graduated f in Fairport, so Canal Days has been a part
of my childhood young adult life. So it's gotten cooler over the years.
Yeah, for sure, especially with night Canal Nights. Yeah, I mean,
at least extended on and it's become such fairports exploding. Yeah, you
go down on the other side of the railroad tracks and they the brewery's coming
in and all that stuff it's got. We need more parking, Scott,
we need more parking. Boy. Let me tell you. How can I
help invest in a parking garage somewhere where we can make some money off of
it and we get this at the same time. Sure, I'm here,
you can ta some money for that purpose. I can't go throw yeah no,
but right in the bat in the back, where do they send people
to park? They just there's got to be something right now, I understand.
And I haven't talked to Martha who runs that. Yeah, the idea
owns that, but I've heard through merchants who've been talking to March Martha that
that actually is going to happen. Yeah, they're going to expand that.
That's the old railroad right right there was a switch yard there for the can
factory. Yeah. Appropriate, Now that's our parking. So and they'll just
use it for parking as time goes on here. Yeah. Because the other
idea that I had heard from the village board, and I love this,
was almost like what they do during music fest and stuff where there was some
entrepreneurial guy who came out with a golf cart and you paid him and he
would run you up and down. And the people that were really worried are
the people that on this side of the tracks saying, hey, we're not
going to get any of the business if everything's down there. If I all
of a sudden park down there, and I'm going to go to you know,
Tommy Brunette's place Iron Smoke and then there's smoking Hot Chicks and now the
brewery's there, I don't need to come on this side of the tracks.
And they said, we need something that's going to be able to shuttle people
back and forth. And I love that idea of like a golf cart.
Don Doug Calbies, Yeah, the family had owned the building where Iron Smoke
and Trip Himmer are had had the Don who was named after his father who
passed away, a great guy who passed away a few years ago, and
he ran that shuttle for a while when they were trying to really seed the
businesses down. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. And as they basically grew
and all the other businesses came in, and now you've got a situation where
ten years ago it was all up here the South End anchored by Fairport Brewing.
That was the hot ticket, right, and he had the landing bar,
and you had all of this stuff going. And that has shifted in
a decade dramatically as the cannery dream has come to fruition. Right. But
I mean this all comes from community planning that goes back forty years. Yeah,
I mean it's it's it's fantastic. I think what they do here is
amazing, really amazing. How they've kept everything uniform. Nothing is right.
You're not looking at anything. And that's too big, too ostentatious in its
building. Everything fits. It's a nice, nice code. Yeah. And
they don't stop growth. They've been able to be progressive. Yes, but
it's well managed growth. Yeah, that's what it means, except for the
parking issue. But we busted chops of the parking issue. But to kind
of explain how we got here a little bit, and I'll do it quickly
if I can. The partnership is founded in two thousand and the partnership the
Fairport Parenting Partnership for a Better Community's full name. Everyone just calls it the
Partnership for obvious reasons. That was a main Street redevelopment program. It's based
on a model out of the National Trust Historic Preservation. It's basically was at
the time, while we're killing everything, yeah, we got to get more
businesses on Main Street, and so they hired a director in two thousand and
the plan was, we want to make this community an entertainment and dining destination
and build our retail. Well in the interim what happened. The Internet has
killed malls and now actually people like small retails and the entertainment and dining part
has kind of exploded. Yeah. You can walk around here any night of
the week, especially as the you know, the warm weathers here now,
and hear music right along the canal, whether it be at my Wan and
Cheese Bar, Fairport Brewing, Conrey's packed out here Saturday night, people everywhere,
five or six places typically like from Wednesday through Saturday anyway, Yeah,
and maybe more. And that's that's fantastic. And then and I just think
that helps things like your event where people go, Oh, so what happens
during the day with Canal days. Yeah, so Friday is an evening,
so we'll kick off at four thirty with the Chicken barbecue, and Scott touched
on some of the festivities happening there. Um So we have Northside Johnny Fairport's
own um as a headliner, and then we have Eastman Community School opening for
them, and then you'll move into the arts festival during the day on Saturday
and Sunday, so we're we're from ten to six Saturday, ten to five
Sunday. Um. So Fairport Canal Days is one of the largest juried fine
arts festivals in the Northeast. But through the years we have been able to
establish that music element as well, So we've got music throughout the entire day,
any food or beverage you can think of, um, So there's really
truly something for everyone here and h and then we touched on Fairport Canal Nights,
which is Saturday evening, so it's it's all weekend. How much is
if I want to get a ticket to Town Nights ten dollars to get in
Saturday, Scott, you gotta be able to charge more than that. Actually
we just COVID. Yeah, we went from it had been five since the
beginning. Oh and you raised it, well, you know what happened,
you know, No, I don't COVID drove costs like, yeah, sure
did Yeah. Security, yes, it's everything. Insurance you can go terribly
much, but everything. Yeah, infrastructure, that's not a bad increase at
all. I mean, come on, people paid ten bucs and that was
three years ago, so we're still at town. Great. It's what you
can extract. I mean we had the debate like do we raise it to
twelve? But like, is someone going to carry two singles in their pocket?
You know, so to keep it at that time? Change it is
intense tends and that's a nice even number. It's a number of people who
are used to pay in the cover for things, which is it's not anything
that's going to turn people off, which I think is great. Oh I
don't think it will. I really don't. I think, especially around here.
I don't think so these areas this side the talent, it's like the
recession forgets right, never hit over. Yeah, you know a little bit.
The thing is, I've often heard it said, why why why vacation
during the summer anywhere else? Yes, this is a vacation. Well it
is, and quite it is. I mean, travel and leisure has the
Fingerlakes is one of the biggest things. My brother runs a place called the
Cliff House. I heard in Maine, by the way, that was a
great oh with my brother. Yeah, he's very interesting guy. Yeah,
he's younger than me and he's done a hell of a level sound a lot
of like yeah, I really do. Yeah, he's he's like eight years
younger than I am. I liked. I love the fact that he's going
ball though I'm not so that makes me happy. Yeah, yeah, I
got the ergy, but I think that that's You're absolutely right. This is
a destination for people. This is an event that has been I mean I
used to come here, god right, while I was a fisher. I
was coming here in the early nineties for Canal Days and stuff for me.
I mean, this is going to be a reunion weekend front with high school
friends, and like everyone comes even if the uber home on Friday and Saturday
or just Saturday. I mean, I'm I'm joking about parking the RV right
in the park, so we'll see what happens. But you know, everyone
comes out even if you don't live here in the area anymore. You come
for Fairport Canal Days, right, it is it's it's it's fun, it's
a big party. Yeah, it is, and that's just you know,
fair Ports getting more and more of these types of things, which is wonderful.
Fairport's very definitely a festival town. Yeah. October Fest was founded by
myself and the current director, Nancy Vegas, back in twenty ten. And
now we're into Fort Vegas. Yeah. Okay, if they said Reagan,
no no, uh, she would remind you actually more of Julia and Louis
dreyfust Oh I like that. All right, there you go. Very fun.
But anyway, that festival obviously has taken off. It's fourteen years young
now and it's a monster fundraiser for the partnership. It's very huge, uh
and you know, the German community embraces it and it's a very authentic uh
festival as well. So I want to point out we when the bridge which
was going to be repaired, Yeah, we did some surveys. We did
uh Ida Martha's office did a pedestrian survey, had counters on both bridges right
Archer Street and Main Street and got account of traffic over the course of one
year foot traffic. And then we turned around and surveyed all the businesses in
the township and excuse me, the village part of me. And it's like
three hundred businesses. You don't really realize it, but all the ones that
are in here for example, et cetera. And then we took that data
and what we did in that survey was asked them, what is your where
are your peak sales volume periods in the course of twelve months? And we
got that data and we overlaid it with the pedestrian data and then looked at
our festival schedule and every spike in revenue for every business and it didn't matter
what type of business it was was related and correlated to the festival scale.
That's great. That cool, that's really I mean it is because you're so
your bringing in and yeah the dollars. Yeah. So so the biggest spinal
days yea makes sense. It's the oldest. It is got the largest footprint
too, it's like like a mile long mid Bay. The second was music
festival and the third was october Fest slash Scarecrow Festival, which has been around
a long time. That's very Uh, that's that's really cool. That's great.
What is the uh? I was thinking to two things. What is
that noise that I hear? Every once in a while with the whistle.
Do you hear it? Horn? The horn? That's you know what that
is? No, that goes back like a century. I thought it was
when they lifted the bridge and they were just testing it, because every once
in a while they lift the ripe one for that the big one that sounds
like a fog horn. And on the main coast, Yeah, that's fire
alarm. There's literally that's calling people to get to the fire hall and get
on a truck. Oh. I did not know. It's a bit of
an anachronism though, because everyone's got Yeah, you don't need it, and
it's like the bad signal. I live. I live a block away over
by the historic all right. I didn't know that. Yeah, and so
you know, any any time of day or night. Yeah, And you
know it's interesting, Uh, it's interesting that you over time you stop hearing
the trains mostly, yeah, you do, but you don't stop hearing that
well, only because it's not consistent. Like the trains, you kind of
all of a sudden has become part of the charm of Fairport. Right,
I mean that's the other thing I want to get back to train watchers.
Yeah, I mean you're fascinated by well, now I'm fat. I love
that the world is peppered with different people, right, That's what makes it
so interesting, right, that's what makes the world so interested. Spice alive.
I just cannot imagine traveling to go look at a train. It just
it boggles my mind. Yeah, I would travel to go see a piece
of art or a really fancy car, or if you know what I'm saying,
like, yeah, yeah, so watching if I'm all Backadamien's coming in
or going out. But then yeah, but this this these are people who
seek it out. They coming out. Here's a lot yeah, streamed as
well too, so yeah there's oh yeah, I do know that every day.
And here's how well this corridor is known in rail circles. The company
that does because whoever built that thing down it looks great. Yeah, that
was a partnership project. That's it looks fantastic. It's really nice. It's
in the back of the partnership has a design committee. That's that's UM architects,
engineers, landscape arch traffic engineers. All these talented licensed professionals who either
live in or work here. They donate their time and talent to doing initial
studies and designs for projects in the village. Virtually everything you see here since
two thousand had that committee had a hand in virtually everything, almost without exception.
So that's why we have these assets in place, and we don't have
to spend fifty thousand dollars getting a design up and running. We basically hand
a design to an engineering firm who who basically stamps it and goes it,
you know. So that's that's how that happens. But Canaldi's story related to
the railroad shuttling bands back and forth from the junction. Back in the day,
a massive cars had come down Water Street over by Donnelly's, parked in
that grassy area, and they were they're always there, but this was like
I had dozens like what is going and it was conflicting with our ability to
get bands and out. I'm like, guys, what's going on. Well,
it's a big deal. There's a mixed right coming through under foreign power
and I'm like, under foreign power, I'm like, what's foreign power?
It's like a Chinese train where we talking? So so this what I'm wondering,
Like, yeah, so so you got your various Uhi, which train,
which traink I'm blanking us. So it was like a Norfolk Southern back
in the day when they didn't come through here. Now it's very common.
Actually they leave the engines on and change engineers. Okay, uh, and
so you'll see a lot of foreign power come through here. Yeah, but
that's I'm like, are we being invaded? What's going on? But yeah,
it would be weird though. If you were in on a dating site
and one of the hobbies was train watching, I think I'm I wouldn't you
know, not that I've been on a dating site, I haven't, but
I would. I wouldn't wouldn't be something that would appeal to me. That's
all I'm saying. It might attract the perfect part. That's fair. See,
I knew it. I knew it. Guys that watch trains weird,
you know. I don't think we h I don't think we surveyed based on
gender. I don't remember seeing many women. I would think that's probably true.
Well, this is fantastic. So Friday night, four o'clock, four
thirty, I would say, getting placed by four o'clock right, get your
chicken barbecue and then the music starts right then or for canal nights. Friday
night, Friday night around what Friday. Barbecue starts at four thirty, the
music starts at six six north Side. Johnny comes on a seven thirty is
perfect. We remiss if we didn't really pay props to the fair Poor Parent
Merchants Association. They're they're the money behind this, They're the effort behind this.
Everything they earned goes back into the community. There's one part time administrator
that works year round and then kills herself this week. And it's it's a
really extraordinary thing. When I did this work, when I did community about
and work like in Brockport, I did it for a number of years and
I met all the people in Fairport and what what I've always said is there's
a unique convergence of assets in Fairport that no one else has in these communities.
And I did Brockport, Spen support Allden honeyye Falls. They don't have
it. They want it, they don't have it. At the root of
it is the idea over here. Nobody has that the electric company. If
you have that, a merchants association that's very cohesive and well moneyed, and
why is it well moneyed? And because of canal dates for forty six years.
Yeah, and so all that comes together, and I it's always been
the case in my experience that it's rare earlier question of if in Fairport.
Uh, it's a question of how right and somebody says what if we did
this? Usually people get a pretty enthusiastic pretty quickly, unless it's a really
dumb idea, right, and then uh, and then it's like, okay,
how do we get there? The train viewing platform was first survey.
The service I've mentioned was two thousand and six. It wasn't dedicated until last
year. Yeah, it wasn't built until or right during COVID, Right during
COVID. It came out behind. So that's that's the fair Port. That's
that's that's it. But it is it's really very very cool forty years to
become an overnight sensation. Yeah, well like is that's the funny thing?
Yeah, it does it. Nothing's an overnight sen says should No matter what
you hear, it's usually never is well this that this is fantastic, What
a great weekend and weather's turn in perfect. Yeah, it should be a
whole lot of fun. Guys are not going to claim collective soul Thursday is
the unofficial kickoff. No, no, that's a that's a different thing.
That's the Jeff Springa and the guys. I'm on that committee too for booking
bands up at the Amphitheater. But Jeff is doing that independent of the of
the town, although the town's working with them on it. The other thing,
we have a zero waste initiative going on this year. Okay, it's
our step in that direction. We're not really gonna go ahead, You're you're
more the diplomat. You so we're Ultimately the goal would be to be a
zero waste festival. I mean we're taking uh inspiration from the waste management open
in Phoenix. They're zero waste. Yeah, um but here oh yeah,
you see those videos. But uh so that would be the end goal.
But that takes a lot of time, a lot of money, a lot
of converting vendors. And so we're taking step one this year. And Step
one is the Fairport Junction, which is where Canal Nights will happen over in
the municipal lot and uh we will have recycling containers set up and then we'll
have six station recycle can recycling like bottles set up and then will have six
stations that have like a recycle your compostable plates and cups or is it truly
a landfill item? And we'll have people at each of those stations to kind
of help educate you on which choice to make. Okay, So that's step
one and hopefully next year we'll be able to implement another aspect in another year.
That's great. It's very innovative, like a migration rather than a hard
nope cut. Yeah you got you gotta lead people along. Yeah, well,
we don't know what we don't know about the logistics of all of it.
The waste management is getting involved to their credit. Yeah, our waste
management here. Yeah, that's great and really pouring a lot into it.
It's also the Duck Race for charity all the public art here in town.
Yes, race funds support. How do I get a duck in the race?
Well, it's five bucks a duck. Our twenty bucks for five five
ducks. Yeah, we'll have a booth set up right on Main Street.
There'll be there'll be a booth throughout the weekend and the duck race drop is
at three on Sunday, so you have all weekend to well, you know,
all day Saturday and the morning on Sunday to get your tickets. Okay,
yeah, fantastic, Yeah, fair Port Canaladays, it's already here.
Yeah, it's already here. Yeah. Hell hell week for us. But
more fun than you'll ever have, I think so. I think it'll be
great. I think you guys will have fun. I think by the time,
well maybe you'll breathe easy by five o'clock on Sunday. But yeah,
I think that if you see any of us next Monday, that'll be a
miracle because I'm brifusly just home. Yeah. Yeah, still time, there's

Stars by Chris Trapper, and I only play that because for no, I
probably shouldn't even do this, but because there's no benefits to me anyway.
But I really like Chris Trapper. He's become very friendly with my brother.
And Chris Trapper was in the Push Stars. And he's gonna be playing at
Loving Cup and Henrietta on Saturday night. And I don't know how many people
know. It's twenty five bucks I think is the price to get in.
He's playing Buffalo and then Geneva, Geneva at a coffeehouse in Geneva. Now
Chris Trapper, I mean he's open for some big, big acts man and
the guy is but he just he's one of these guys that just loves to
play. So I think he just jumps in a van. Younger Colin Hay
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah for men at work, yeah yeah, and so.
And then the one I'm thinking of is Um the bass player who played
for He's an Eastman school graduate and he played with Peter Gabriel for years and
he's done stuff with Joey Ricado and he's also in King Crimson and he would
be on private jets playing with Peter Gabriel and then he would come back.
He jumped in some Rickshaw type van and go up the West Coats playing with
King Crimson. Simply because he just loved playing music and he loved to Tony
Levin is his name, and he just loved, you know that, that
kind of stuff. So I think it's the same thing with Chris Trapper.
My brother goes. He stays in some of the shitties hotels and he does
all this stuff, but he he just loves playing and if you like kind
of the singer songwriter stuff, which I absolutely love, he will be over
there Saturday night. And there's a whole lot of things happening around town,
as you heard a little earlier on the podcast. So this week good weekend,
over the weekend, you know, Memorial Day, we're kicking off summer
twenty twenty three. Got some golfins night, saw local band Saturday night,
Danny, Danny, come on man. Then it's a night. It's a
tough weekend. It's you know, it's it's a weekend. But I I
saw I have never seen this. Driving to my mom's. I'm going down
the New York State Thruway and I'm passing the truck and I look over and
there out the window is a jean covered leg with a big old boot hanging
out the window. It's a trucker got his left foot out, obviously used
your right foot for driving. I've never seen that. Just kick back,
just kick back. I had never seen it. I mean we're talking,
you know, tractor trailer. This is a full on tractor trailer. I
go, holy shit, I've never seen this. I've never seen this with
a guy like you've seen people with their feet out, but this is the
guy driving one hand scratching his balls too. Probably, So I had to
look this up because I go, is that illegal? Is it illegal for
you to drive with your foot out the window? Did you try it?
I did? I did not. I wouldn't. I wouldn't dare. I
wouldn't dare because like, I'm pretty liberal about a lot of things. Driving
now, I just I get so concerned about the amount of distracted driving that
goes on, and so I'm very like, I'm focused on driving. You
don't worry about distracted driving. You you wore the distraction back in the day.
Oh yeah, knocking on people's window. Yes, oh god, that
wasn't me, that was my buddy. I was assistant, I was driving.
I was driving. Well, I always think this. Do you know
how good you got to be to be able to get your car close enough
that your buddy can lean out the passenger window and time it perfectly so you're
right up against you're just driving with like I go, that's some pretty good
driving. And I figured your buddy had to lean out and knocking this old
man's window as the poor set of a bitch is driving his old man a
hat and then give him the finger as I then hit the gas and we
speed off. I bet your rays and Randy set Chap with a nice setup.
You have a good couple of laps are on land of legends there.
But I had to look this up to see is it illegal because and the
answer is not. Technically it's not. It's not illegal. I have two
different kind of things from the internet. Uh. They say, since it
undoubtedly blocks the passenger side mirror. Okay, that's if the passenger has their
foot out, yes, mirror, A cop could cite you for impeded operation
of a motor vehicle. But I don't think it's illegal. If the driver
has their foot out the window, I don't think that's illegal unless it's blocking
the side view mirror an attractor trailer because yeah, they sit higher. Uh.
And then from April twenty fifteen, uh as distraction. As distracting as
this may be to you and me, it's completely legal for a driver to
drape her leg over the window just as long as they rate her. It's
funny to be. It's just funny to be, just as long as it
doesn't extend past the driver's side few mirror, said officer from the California Highway
Patrol. So there you go. You want to drive with your foot out
the window, I feel like I feel like the caps might still pull you
over and can't take it. Like you know, it's probably drunk. Who
have you ever known? I always try to think of this way, who
do I know? And And it's a funny thing because I I'm sort of
going to contradict myself here. Maybe I always say whenever people say everybody I
know, can you name ten friends that you interact with on a on a
daily basis or anything like everybody I know is doing, We'll name ten friends.
And then the other is, uh, I try to think of who
do I know? Because I could come up with ten assholes that I probably
talked to on a rks the basis, but um, who do I know
that would do this? And I can't think of anybody. No, I
can't think of anybody I know that puts as the driver sticks their foot out
the window. Isn't that the quote unquote most unsafe thing to do in a
car too as a passers to put your feet up on the dashboard. If
you get an accident, you're shattering everything. Oh yeah, thats what they
always say. Yeah, because even if the airbag goes off, it's just
gonna push your legs back. You're gonna be you know, your ass is
all bruised, You're gonna have powder all over it. It's gonna be a
mess. It's right in the ball. Yeah, but I go, I
can't think of anybody, so there was I'd never seen a driver do that.
Never seen a driver do that. Trailer driver, that's the thing.
I probably have seen it. I'm sure I've seen a driver. Yeah.
I think my friend Mike A Tiras wants to it. I think one my
friend Mike A. Tiras try to try to drive with his feet and somebody
else leading over him push the gas and he drove with his feet. Was
there nothing else to do? And ry Rhynde back pine planes? Pine planes?
There nothing else to do, but in general nuisance, but it was
so much fucking fun. Of course, we just we invented shit to do.
We invented you. I was so bummed because we wanted to go to
the the Memorial Parade, Memorial Day Parade in pine planes, and uh my
mom was just not moving fast enough. So we wound up just doing the
one in rhine Back, which was great. They were great, but it
would be funny to go back to that. I mean, it is just
a shitbox little town. Did you not get cable and rhyne back till like
ninety two? What's going on? I didn't get cable till eighty nine,
eight nine, eighty nine. But yeah, because cable, Yeah, I
have so many people per square mile. That's it's the truth. That is
the absolute truth. No, I didn't fucking cable growing up, of course,
not electricity. What's going on? I do electricity, But and I
knew everything, Like I would memorize almost the TV catn because my grandmother would
have an I would go down there for a week in the summer and I
would absorb everything, MTV, the Squiggly Playboy Channel, every I mean,
I fucking knew the NBC because I didn't get NBC where I was because it
was over the air and everything came into Albany. I couldn't get any stations
out of New York City. The horses asked blocks yes from coming in.
Sometimes my father would have to go up in the roof we go can you
can you see it now? No? Turn it again? What how about?
No? No? And he'd be screaming on my mother, can you
hear me now? Or not? We'd be going I don't know. It
was a mess. It was a fucking mess. Uh. An ethics question
did come in to the show about barbecue ethics at a barbecue. This is
true. This came from from listener Duck. So while I had a cookout,
I stepped up to help the volunteer guest. Now this is the way
he worded it. So the volunteer guest at the grill, so somebody else,
So you're at my house. I don't I'm tipping them back. And
Bill Moran says, you know what, I'll pack it over the grill.
So and so he writes, after I watched her flip burgers five or six
times, I offered my advice and proper etiquette of only flipping burgers once.
Now, if I'm cooking burgers, I usually go three minutes aside, flip,
three minutes, flip, and then we're done. Flipping burgers once which
keeps the juices in the meat, or four minute, whatever you like.
This seemed to offend her and brought up a conversation later the night with my
spouse. Was I wrong or right to point this out? Now? It's
not now. I hadn't read that. I misinterpreted this because I'm thinking to
myself, if most guys, now I know this, he's saying, this
is a woman, because he said her, most guys are very territorial about
their grills. They're a girl. I don't see very many women throwing down
on the grill, right. My wife will one I'm here doing the show
and they want the burgers or dogs for the dinner. But most if I'm
home, it's usually your girl, it's your thing, right. Uh.
But so if you have a party, you're probably on the grill right right,
But you wouldn't want somebody going, hey, Kevin, you should really
you should flip get annoying the Saint burger king. You get what you get,
or you don't fucking eat but see so most people. But now this
is a volunteer at the party, So I almost feel like since that person
volunteered, you get to then say something. If she's flipping the burgers or
he's flipping the burgers either one, five or six times, don't you think
what do you mean? Yeah, depending on how money I've had. Okay,
because sober, maybe I'm gonna be nice and gentle about well. My
first always gonna keep my mouth shut because I'm gonna say something. If if
it were a guy, would you do it? But this is a volunteer.
If it was a volunteer guy and he's flipping it, I made me
more apt to say it to a guy than to a woman. To be
honest with you, I mightna go, hey, man, you're letting all
the juices out five or six times? What is wrong with you? And
bust his balls on it. With a woman, I don't think I would
say anything. I would just look the other way. I would just absolutely
wouldn't say anything. Looking on your phone for Dardash, Yeah, I would
just let I would just absolutely let it ride. I wouldn't do a thing.
But so that's and then because it's always mister big shot telling you how
they're gonna how to run your grill, how to do your time? Absolutely?
Yeah. Has anybody ever overstepped in your world like that, like coming
to your house and done that. I used to, and I would just
I would just shut it down. I wouldn't. I would be very uncomfortable.
My mother in law did take out my grill, my brand new girl
that I hadn't cooked on yet, Yeah, and fired it up and cook
something out. I'm like, you kidding me? Did you say anything?
Not to her? But I did to my wife? And out of that
goes. How do you think it went? I think you got shot down.
I think you basically have got told Why why do you care? What's
the big deal? Yes, grill is the man that is. That's why
you would never go to somebody's house and tell them how to grill. But
send somebody's volunteering. If they're fucking I'm gonna tell them why is they having
somebody volunteer? I mean, I don't know, I don't know. We'll
have to talk to Doug at some point. Doug needs to give some more
context and h find that out. We'll take a moment. DeAndre Hopkins all
on the news, lots of talk about DeAndre Hopkins. The latest stuff that
I'm seeing on ESPN is talking about two teams and neither of them are Buffalo.
However, I feel like it's gonna happen. I feel like it's gonna
happen. I'll give you the title of an article in Sports Illustrated and that.
Uh, but I do little engine that could by Sports Illustrated. I
just have I just have this feeling. Uh. Leo's has everything you need

Bills make me ya hand, throw your hand. Oh, it's eighty something
degrees out today, the sun is shining and we're talking football. Let's go
Bills, Come on football. Ken Dorsey's on ESPN right now. It's good.
I saw Ken Dorsey. Uh a couple of times. A lot of
talk, a lot of love for Dalton kincaide at least so far. Oh
we say so far. I mean we haven't seen the snap yet, we
haven't seen the live action. But they're I mean all the talking heads everywhere
saying nice things. Yeah. I mean he's an athletic. He's a big
athletic kid. And when you have guys that can do that, like a
Kelsey, there's a lot. You know, if you have the great offensive
coordinator who's creative, you can you can set a lot of formations and just
create mismatch just based on formations with him. And then you have Dawson and
there again, who is who's a good receiver, but he's not quite as
athletic as Kincaid based upon their college performances. So I mean, you know,
you put d hop in there and all of a sudden, that offense
goes from I like this now, I do like the whole DeAndre Hopkins thing.
But Sports Illustrated had this title Bill's first Chiefs Chiefs in DeAndre Hopkins arms
race, and then I said, Insider reveals details the rivalry between in the
Buffalo Bills in Kansas City Chiefs has now extended beyond the football field due to
the release of DeAndre Hopkins. Now Hopkins, it's an interesting thing, and
I don't know whether this is something for teams to consider or not. DeAndre
Hopkins almost is like you go, I want a house that has central air
conditioning, a man cave, I want an in ground pool, but it
has to be all one level. I don't want to deepend you know all
that that. It's sort of like that describing my home because you're sitting across
from me. You're sitting across me. But I mean that's what I feel
like what he's saying to teams, this is where I want to go.
Now, he said, there's a he wants to win a championship, yes,
right, And there's a strong defense, and he wants a strong defense,
and so those are the things he said. According to ESPN's NFL insider
Jeremy Fowler, he says that his money's on the Bills. Are Chiefs working
something out. He said, I suspect that you have two contenders in the
AFC that are sort of trying to combat each other to make sure one doesn't
get Hopkins over the other. So it's a little bit of an arms race
there. The team I haven't heard talked about a lot, the Jets.
I mean, they've got somebody that, at least on paper, Yeah,
well that would be an that would be a scar. I would be so
pissed if he winds up with the Jets. Yeah, well they already.
I mean, they've got money in with the rookies that I don't think they
need to invest in a d hop Um. You know, they brought in
the god punter that the Bills cut last year. And in terms of the
Jets, they've got a strong receiving core. I think the Jets receiving corps
in depth stronger than the Bills. I think the Bills have a better one
receiver than the Jets. But that kid's a rookie. I mean, he
was a Rookie of the Year. I still don't think he's better than Diggs.
No, well, I mean Diggs is still at the time, and
when you look, it's two top three, it's him and then d Hop
Yeah, yeahs yes, Cooper Cup is in on that. I'm sure in
that arms race. So you know, the one thing about being that Bean's
got to try to manage through this whole thing, this whole circumstance right now,
is one is the locker room. You know, he He's already brought
in a couple of guys, a couple of veterans in that locker room to
play receiver. Uh. And so you know, if you put too much
focus on this one player, you know, that can create riff within the
locker room, particularly since he did not do much on defense. Right He's
got Von. He made the big splash with Von last year. But Von,
you know, is Von gonna be there the first month of the year.
You know who knows that He's gonna be there against Rogers in Week one
on Monday night on September eleventh in New York City, What a game.
N's gonna be you know, so it'll be interesting to see so so,
so Bean's gonna try to manage that and and still keep the locker room intact.
I think he gets de Hop. I do too. Why why do
I feel the same thing, Greg, I have this feeling like he's gonna
rework salary cap stuff. Well, this is a get it underneath he.
I mean, he's he's got to get approve of from the Pagoulas because he's
essentially if he goes after de Hop and lands him, he gets an extra
year year or two to reprieve himself because if he gets DAP, it's gonna
have to be all pushed out two or three years in terms of salary cap
because where we're at right now, which means that in three years we're gonna
be in salary cap hell almost is bad, if not worse than with the
where the Rams were after they won the Super bowight, So they're gonna have
to do that, which means you're you're gonna be You're gonna suck, so
you're gonna be done well. He's gonna have to then be able to get
assurances from the ownership that he can work through that. If he doesn't and
hits. If he doesn't and loses, Yeah, where do you go from
there? I don't know. Now, here's some stuff that I find interesting
and I don't I don't know what it means exactly. The Ravens were in
the d hop discussion early on and they've backed away because he had two years
remaining, and they're saying that was the major stumbling block was that he was
set to get thirty point seven five million against the cap in twenty twenty three,
highest amount for a wide receiver. Yeah, now that was if they
trade it. Right now that he's been cut, right, So here's the
So that doesn't count anymore. Miner has been he's been let go from So
now that contract is null and void, and whatever you do, you're starting
from scratch. Well, he's got God, he's got guaranteed money from the
Cardinals that he that goes against their salary. Their salary caps him cutting it.
With him being cut, the other teams don't inherit any of that,
that dead cap or that cap from the Cardinals. But what it does for
him now is now he's renegotiating with the teams to see who wants him and
who's gonna pay him, Okay, so it'll be interesting to see how you
can structure that. You know, the killer with the freaking Chiefs and they
just piss me off. Number one. I can't stand Kelsey. Kelsey drives
me freaking crazy. He's he's he's he's the killer. And if you add
somebody like you know, they get rid of Tarik kill and they go win
the Super Bowl. Anyways, Yeah, they put d Hop in there.
I mean, what the hell, it'll kill me. I don't think I
don't think the Chiefs will. I don't think the Chiefs are gonna give him
the money. I think the Bills would get him more money than the Chiefs.
Well, see if Brandon can Brandy can work that out, because he
takes the offense to the next level. He really does. Here's my question,
if you had all things being considered, if it came down to money,
and I know that money talks, right, So if there's a team,
let's say it's the Texans and I know he came from there, but
if they were saying seven million, the Bills are going three million plus,
we're probably going to get to do the Super Bowl. I think he goes
for the money. I do too. I think he goes well. Plus
if it's the Chiefs, he goes for the money because they've won freaking multiple
super bowl and and and they know they know what it takes. Plus the
AFC West is a much easier division than the AFC East, so you know
the path to to to win. Look McDermott's objective every years when when your
conference, when you when your divisional because then you have at least one home
game, and and then depending on where your record is, you fit in
you can get first round by for the one seed, or you can get
two home fields. If if you're the two seed, so's you gotta put
you gotta win your gotta when you're kinderence first. Yes, for me,
you don't want to be second in the AFC East because I think the second
team in the AFC East gets one of the wild cards. If that second
team, they're gonna play against the AFC West. You're gonna play against the
Chiefs because you're gonna be either the fifth, sixth, seventh seed. You
don't want to be in that lower tier because you're gonna have to then match
up with the Chiefs beforehand, like the Bills did against the Bengals. I
wish, I wish the Bengals. You know, if you flipped that and
then the Bengals were down, they would have banged heads against the goddamn Chiefs
in Brown two. Instead it was the Bills, Right, So, all
right, I like the idea of him coming on the team. I do
think if it came down to I mean, you're talking Browns where he played
with DeShawn and they've been friends since high school. And he and DeShawn on
ESPN was asked about d Hop and he said, I talked to him almost
every day. Yeah, and but I know the von Miller thing. I
just feel like Buffalo's hell would want to go play for the freaking Cleveland Browns
Right now, I can't imagine. Are you kidding? Well, they're saying
like he would be the guy, and that that they're poised to do great
stuff. I don't see it. I don't see it with Cleveland. Wait
a second, they're in the same division as the Bengals. Yeah, they're
not even competitive. No, I mean they are the fourth team of the
four and that I mean even the Steelers finished above them last year and you
got the Ravens in that division. I mean, come on, and the
Ravens now they're at the bottom looking up where the Bills are at the top
and poised to cata pull forward. Yeah, I mean if you're talking about
if he's I mean, obviously I don't know, yah, but if he's
sincere about I want to win a super Bowl. Yeah, it's the Chiefs
or it's the Bills. Yeah. If he goes to the Bills, he
becomes he's like the Carmelo Anthony for Syracuse. He is, he'd be the
Carmelo Anthony there because the Bills have been close and haven't been able to get
over the get over the top if you put him in digs together. The
one thing about the locker room and I was talking about with Bean is that
you gotta be Carver the locker room because dig Is is a male content.
Yeah right, He's the bitchy little sister who's really pretty that gets all the
attention. And when the attention goes one inch away from him and he doesn't
get what he wants, he screams like a little like a spoiled a little
bitch. Excuse my language, I shouldn't be saying. So if de happ
does sign his all forgiven. I'm the hell Mary, So somebody did right.
That play still haunts me. That place still freaking haunts me. Why
did the Cardinals cut him? And an extra? Cardinal writer Kyle Odegard claims
that some in the Cardinals organization were upset that Hopkins set out the final two
weeks being healthy, even though he said it was his knee. Now,
they finished the season four and thirteen and he was released last week, and
what they're saying is a cost cutting move for the franchise, But some are
wondering if it's an attitude move. Sure, it's a combination. Yeah.
I think it's a combination too. But they weren't winning and it didn't matter.
And Kyler Murray sucks and they want to high draft back next year.
Yeah yeah. And he wanted to preserve himself. He want to preserve his
health, yes, right, because he knew that he wasn't long for the
organization. And why am I going to put myself out there? Why why
would I do that? I mean, I mean to be honest with you,
freaking uh. Lamar Jackson did the same thing basically, and he got
him there and he was able to he was able to kind of stay healthy,
get healthy, recover from the injuries, and look forward to the next
year. I mean, look, last year was done. They were out
of it. They weren't going the playoffs. No, I mean, when
you're a player at that level, why why do I put myself out there?
Why so I can get hurt? Yeah? What am I proven?
I've already proved. I'm not looking to next year, which is what diap
did, which is what Lamar Jackson did. I actually don't have a problem
with that. I don't say if I'm a player, you know, I
want to think I'm thinking about me and what my future is because that they
don't. They're not in the league very long. No, not so you
want to preserve You only have so many games. You want to preserve your
games for games that matter as opposed to games that don't matter. And that's
what he did. Now. I just hope he takes those healthy legs now
and brings them to Western New York and it was up at Saint shown Fisher
here at that's what I want. And to the other rumor we've heard that
Jira gonna be covering digs three plays from the forty yard line to see if
you can score on her by the way, Digs wouldn't get awfu line.
Now your son is here, Luke, what do you How do you feel
when your father says these kinds of things. Uh, he might hype himself
up a lot, but uh, I think he's a little slower than Diggs.
A little slower, just a little bit, a little bit slower.
We'll give Greg an advantage. We'll let Bill throw Oh nice, thank you.
Uh. Well, Dick's also had was it only once? Yeah?
It was. Oh no, it was twenty twenty two when he had the
U p D and he had to sit out six games. Yeah, you
got cheaters on Yeah, I just say it, man, It all depends
on what you're drinking. He had that milkshake, he had that extra energy
protein shake, and he you know they put in he didn't know. I
didn't know what I would. I would like to see him in a Bill's
uniform, I really would. Yeah. And for me right now, the
way that Jets are looking, the way the Chiefs are looking, they've got
to do something. Somebody's got to step up. If if they don't,
if the players on the team, somebody on this team right now, even
without da passes, step up. To perform at a level that's unexpected.
Yeah, just like just like the Chiefs got with with Pacho whatever the running
back from rud Curse forgot his name already, that's what they got from him.
And that's what you need. If you can't get DAP, somebody's got
to do that. Somebody's got to step in and performing a level that's unexpected.
That that brings the team up to the next level. If d Hop
comes in, you've got somebody that you know can go to that level.
And then I mean, you want to talk about formation, mismatches, matches,
Oh my god, you got d Hop, you got Digs, you
put Dawson, you put Kincaid, you know, you get a cook.
Holy cow man, that's that's unreal, unbelievable. And by the way,
if Ken Dorsey can't get it done with those options and those weapons, he's
gonna go to freaking the Patriots and he's gonna be the offensive coordinator over there
the ball these away. Speaking of that New England, New England getting fined
for Yeah, the ot stuff. Fifteen minute meeting they put on the that's
what I'm hearing, I know. And it's it's funny because the Athletic and
ESPN don't mention any much about it. And I think this is the players
bitching because they don't like the special teams coach that they brought in. What's
his name, Joe? Uh? Well, first of all, look,
this fine is from the players. Yeah, it's this is a union.
This is a union. Well the union because I think they had allegedly there
was a PA spy or somebody there. But then also the fact that they
put out somebody put a picture up of the schedule with the meetings, and
they're trying to say they're trying to backpedal a little bit and say, hey,
this isn't uh, these weren't mandatory. We're just letting them know if
they wanted to come in and talk to the coaches that are available during these
times. And and somebody else is saying, like Belichick anything, Bill Belichick,
Come on, But who is the special teams coach that they brought in.
I thought he used to be the uh, the coach with the Giants.
Joe I can't remember his name, And he's the guy that they're saying
is is named in this and supposedly this is like the third time he's done
something with the team, and they expect him to be fired, and this
is the player's way of saying, we want him out, and they and
they blew him into the PA because somebody had to blow in because most of
the time, to your point, Kevin, they don't find you for that.
No, they just come in and go, hey, listen, get
you know, wrap up the means. But disupposedly is there is fun.
I think it was a fifty thousand dollars fine for Belichick after all there,
No, that's not the guy. After after everything the Patriots had been through,
in the scrutiny that they've been through over the last five years, with
these types of things, you think Kraft wants this type of hell he doesn't
want this hell he doesn't. I think they think Kraft will say, you
gotta get rid of him. Your damn right, Joe Judge, That's exactly
who I'm thinking of. Yeah, that's right, Judge. And they think
that the players don't like Joe Judge and they're making him there. They didn't
like him, teams, No they did, they didn't. They called for
his head in New York and uh, but he's only on the staff and
and he've got Bill O'Brien back there now and they're thinking, but he and
DeAndre Hopkins did not get along when they were in uh Texas together when he
was the head coach, and what was he the gem as well? I
think O'Brien, I don't think he did. He come out of pennsyet that
much that much control. I think he did. Yeah, I think it
was part of the recent laugh. One of them is. Yeah, he
was the gym that made that trade for the first overall pick at one point
for somebody. I don't remember if he traded into it or out of it,
but he gave up a ton of capital. He went into it.
Yeah, he did go into it and he got the defensive Yeah. Who's
like, I can't remember gone already. Yeah, but on his third or
fourth team, Yeah, yeah, it was I mean the Patriots. I'm
okay, I want to lose to give him another give up, give up
another draft pick. I think I think they should find him, just like
they did with the Dolphins. But I gotta tell you, you know,
for me, the winner of the AFC, I say, the winner of
the AFC East wins the Super Bowl, Okay, And the reason is is
because I think that winner will be the either one seed or two seed,
and then whoever's gonna be beneath them, the two coming out of the acast
is gonna beat up either the Bengals or the Chiefs, and then whoever wins
AT's gonna take on the Bengals or the Chiefs in terms of how the seedings
should should align, because then you'll have like the Ravens or the Steelers or
or Jacksonville who we're gonna be playing in London. So it's gonna be you
don't want to be two coming out of the ACS, because you're gonna be
in this. You're gonna be in that fifth, six or seventh, and
you're gonna have to play one of the one of the other top Jets number
two. You know all those number one well, you know, man hoping
the Bills are number one, I'm I've got it there, But the Jets
to me are more I'm more afraid looking at this season at the Jets than
i am the Dolphins. I think the Jets defense is better than the Dolphins
defense at this stage. And when you look at Rodgers and two, Rodgers
is a better quarterback, Yeah, you know, it's a better quarterback.
They have a better defense, and then if ta, I don't even think
it makes me through the season. I don't know either. But man,
he's looking big. Yeah, I have not seen that he came. He
came in like twenty twenty five pounds everything he was last year. Wow,
which is he forgot he had the diet. It's amazing with those protein shakes
and protein shakes. Luke, how's football practice going or are you doing already?
You had spring stuff right yeah, right now, I've been focusing on
track. I actually just made it to state cues. Wow. And uh,
football, I think we're gonna be starting up. When's the state qualifiers?
Friday night? Friday night, Fay night. Okay? For what for
hurdles? Hurdles? What what distance? Okay? So what you're saying,
it's when your dad's covering, you can hurtle over him to the end zone
that one ten hurdles is because that's fast. Man. Oh yeah, it's
right. I'm not gonna lie. When I first started doing it, I
was very intimidated. Yeah, it's in that short distance I always found because
you would see a lot of guys, you know, so quick coming because
they're a little more spaced out for the four hundred. Yeah, right,
so you can get your rhythm down a little bit better. But this is
like bang dang banging. You would see usually by the third or fourth hurdle,
guys are back foot at back food or even the front foot sometimes is
hitting dragging hitting. Yeah. I've seen a few guys just like entirely face.
Yeah. Yeah, I never did hurdles. I loved watching it,
but I never did that. Never. I would never do that. I
could go underneath the hurdles, but never. That's great. So what's what's
your time? Do you mind me asking? Uh? My last time was
sixteen o three. Okay, that's pretty good. Yeah, so what so
what is the what's going on on state? On the state level? Do
you know who the best of the best are? I believe states take the
top sixteen the state qualifiers. Yeah, and where's that Friday night? Uh?
For Section five, it's in Batavia High School for his class Okay,
or for that so you gotta go to Batavia then? Yeah? Yeah.
Do you get really nervous before these races? Yeah? Did you ever shoot
out of the blocks too soon? Yea, hopefully I have never done that.
But actually, at the last meete I think like two or three people.
Yeah, shooting out the block. I mean you get the warning,
right, and then the next time I think you're dqt, aren't you You're
out? Yeah, it's only twice. Yeah, and then they it's always
you would watch these guys has to take see the sprinting stuff because that was
a sprinter. I didn't I didn't run the hurdles. That was one hundred
one hundred meter guy. Yeah, and yeah, the blocks is always there,
nerve wreck. I couldn't imagine getting in the blocks and then you look
up and you have all those hurdless thing. Yeah that's intimidating. Yeah,
that's crazy. I think it is. But that's fantastic. Good for you.
You know what year are you in high school? So you've got one
more season after them? Yeah, look at this and then college? Man,
right, get a could be a scholarship. Hey you know I'm opening
Yeah you really? Yeah? Would you do it for a track? Oh?
Yeah absolutely? Yeah. I always like track because there were a lot
of girls around. I'm just saying, well, and it was the most
social I can't either, but it was the most social sport. You had
a lot of downtime. You go to hang out in between events. What
other events do you do usually have are you doing three? I did a
long jump this year, but I also did a pentathlon last year. You
did, And I have never I have never had like a genuine bonding conversation
with an opposing team before I did Penn. Yeah. Pentathlon is like you're
all, yeah, you're not just you're not just competing against each other.
You're like competing against the event as group. Yeah, because it's all about
points. It is all about points. So they wanted to turn my son
Jordan into a pentathlon when he got to college. Oh yeah, and he
said absolutely not. I'm not running. Yeah, I'm not doing it.
Because they looked at it, go hey, you could do this. He
goes, no, not. I heard Fisher and Ethic I both have great
track program. I don't know. I think he's already talked to the Alfred
track coach. So has he Alfred track coach? Yeah, all right,
that'd be a good one. They run the Penn Relays. That's a big
one down there. And he already got a little connection to the Penn state.
You know, get those times. That's something that's great. Well,
good luck with all. He would never go to the same college as brother.
If you don't think so, you would never see if you were on
a but if he was on the sports team, you were on a sports
team, you'd never see him. He would that's like a job, man,
it is like a job. But he would. He would want to
compete against his brother, so he absolutely you would trying to get him to
be a walking on the team. He would just beat him. You know,
he would go against the competing school just so whenever they play, would
ever sport day, would he'd do his face? Oh yeah, Luke,
I think that. I think you're gonna do great. I think this is
awesome. You seem very very confident. I try to be. I try
to well. I mean that's what you need, that, right. You
got to go in there thinking like you're gonna you're gonna win this. Have
you won almost every race you've been in this year? Actually I have.
I don't think I've ever actually won an event, Okay, I've always just
kind of like, well, you've won dual meets, invitationals. The invitationals
are tough, are a little different. But because usually he like he hasn't
lost in a dual meet in the hurdles this year. That's what I'm thinking.
I had, I had a feeling it. You probably didn't, but
but yeah, the invitational humble his dead. It's usually like different heats,
right, and then they've got you and so are usually in that top heat
because they usually take all the way through, like they'll put the social guys
and then they'll do the okay guys and then the really good guys. The
organization is usually like if it's three heats, that will be the slower heat
first and then progress to the third heat, which is the fastest heat.
Right, I'm usually like on the slower side of the fast heat or the
faster side of the middle hedium. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
And do you do you watch a lot of film on on even yourself with
the hurdles, because there's a whole form, right, there's a whole study
there with the with the hurdles. Three stepping is by far the most important
thing. Yeah, yeah, it is three in between if like a lot
of my teammates are four stepping, which means they have to switch like their
lead leg like over the hurdle. Yeah, and it slows them down so
so much. Yeah, Like once I learned how to three step. I
think I shaved off either half a second or a full second, or that's
a lot. That's a lot. The half second is a lot in those
races. Oh yeah, it's huge. You're an impressive guy, Luke,
that's very that's something. Look at that all right, Well, good luck
with that and hopefully d hop comes to the bills. Yes, here we

and roll was the last one he did. If I remember right, I
will I will play forever at another time when you're on and I might play
when we uh come back after talking to you, all right, Randy.
A lot of people saying the Coca Cola six hundred, I think there was
a couple of rain delays and stuff, but was the best race people have
seen in a long time. It was a great race. It was a
really great race. I mean you had a lot of I mean if you
had some drama, you had a lot of cautions. You had some crashes,
especially within the last like the last twenty three laps over a bunch of
cautions. Um, you know. Denny Hammond's pissed off the chase. Lah
Telly said, I didn't do what that purpose? According to NASCAR corning their
trajectory that Tracy told me about tonight, that they feel showed that he did
cause it, but which you know, all right, well they did.
Yeah, they send them here so early joy drive the car and the chase.
Okay, now, now now here's my thing. I got a lot
of things to say about this. Denny Hamlin has been involved in a couple
of incidents this season already, You've been into a lot of edsons in the
last five years. Yeah. So I feel like Denny Hamlin's a bit of
a dick and Chase it I just do. I go, this guy's a
dick and Chase Elliott, here's the thing out the window he might have been,
Uh, Chase Elliott to me, Randy, I feel like this was
like a way to settle it on the score because correct me if I'm wrong.
The other guys that get suspended by NASCAR have admitted to doing their whatever
they're accused of doing. They said I did it, right? Is that
fair to say Denny Hamlin? Excuse me? Chase Elliott never did. I
think the radio stuff from what I read the radio transcript was he kept saying
he was over driving. He was driving over me, he was driving over
me a couple of times and whatever turn it was, and uh I but
he never came out to say so I drove him into the wall. He
didn't say that I did. I clipped his bumper. He never said that,
And uh so they suspend him. And I'm going why suspend the guy?
Because if Chase Elliot already had a waiver because he broke his leg and
he missed six races to get into the playoffs. Right, he had a
waiver for the playoffs, right, yeah, Now, I why not just
say, okay, now you're fucked. You were taking away your waiver and
we're docking you. What what's the most amount of points you get? Sixty?
Uh? Yeah? I believe so they could. They could even find
him they wanted. Okay, So I'm just saying, so if they if
they feel like this was on purpose. And by the way, you know
this too, Randy. They have the technology now to go in and see
when you hit the brakes, they can see how you're steering the car.
They can do all this if they really wanted to go under the hood.
I don't like it. I don't like NASCAR doing though. No, I
don't either. The technology to do that shit they have it now, I
mean big brothers, like, they can really get under there and look.
And I'm going, you know what, in non points races, you'll see
this stuff more often. Some guy goes, you're not going to do that
to me again, and they drive you into the wall. I'm not saying
it's the greatest way to solve something, but it's kind of the way to
solve it. Right, if I don't like the way you're driving, that's
what I do. And I wish they would just let this stuff settle out.
And I'm not sure with Chase Elliott whether it was done on purpose or
not. He's not admitting it. They're still you know, suspending him.
So he's not going to race next week and that so that costs some points,
right, It costs some points. Cost some money too, Yeah,
and so some money too because sponsors paying, you know, for races,
you know, and he might who knows what pain jobs might be a special
paint job from a different sponsor, so you never know. Well they tell
you getting somebody else. Yeah, but if Corey Lejoy is going to drive,
does it matter for sponsors or does No? It doesn't. While they
got whoever was going to be on a cur that week in that race,
you know, of whether it's NAPA or one of the other one of their
other sponsors. Yeah, he's still going to be in a Curler joys.
I think Curler Joy is a good driver. Yeah. I think Cory Lejoy
is a good driver. I think he really is. I think he needs
to. I mean he act She talked video that uh I watched a little
bit of me tracer outside that he said this had been six years ago,
he would have never been ready to take this through this ride and now he
is. Okay, So Coral Lejoy, I agree. I think it's it's
not a I mean, it's a pretty good backup quarterback right for your for
your main driver. But yeah, with Chase Elliott. So what happens now
because they're gonna ask for a waiver again for him. So you've got the
medical waiver, plus they're gonna they're not I don't think Hendricks Motorsports, who
drives for is gonna appeal this suspension. They're not going to and they're he's
got a way. They're not gonna take the waiver away from him. No,
but they but they're gonna request a playoff waiver for the suspension, and
well we'll see what happens. What happened to that, because you know,
I mean, if he if he wins a couple two three races, they're
gonna let him in. It's gonna be no if as they can see,
this is the problem. Nas Car can't make up to mind what they want
to do. The problem they changed, They changed stuff all the time,
you know, I mean he spun them out and done over, get it
over. Deal have to happen all the time. But them being able to
see what's going on in set the car, I think that's a bunch of
well, well here's the problem. But here's the problem. Social fucking media
is the problem. It is because Denny Hamlin's been taking them what is it
called the SMT, Yeah, that's the technology that can show you, and
he's using all the SMT stuff from his car going I couldn't have done this,
this is what happen. Happened, and he's trying. I couldn't make
heads or tails out of what Denny Handlet was tweeting it, have no idea,
but people who do know can look at that ship and see exactly what
happened in that race. And he's saying over and over and over on Twitter,
and he's such a cry baby on there saying that I was driven into
the wall on purpose right right now, But you know, you know,
and I mean he I mean, don't get me wrong, he'd put Elliot
in the wall. And that's why Elliot did that. Elliot put him,
He put him in the wall. That's fine. That's how men handle shit.
That's right, that's how it should be. Yes, this is ridiculous,
and you know what the bad part is. Ryan Blainey here in the
biggest win of his career and nobody's really talking about it. They're all talking
about and I thought that was the coolest thing in the words to see him
win. He hasn't won a fifty nine races, and he's one of my
favorites. And he's right guys for Penskey. You know, Penskey won both
They won won Charlyne and in indianapis the first time he's ever won both,
right Tamen, both races in the same in the same number curves. Wall
Joseph knew got it, didn't was the driver for Penske. Yeah, Indian
Yeah, I like get tired that came off there. I didn't need it.
What almost him was went into the Grand Thing. I know, and
I haven't told you right now. I saw that, and I crazed.
I thought that was going to the Grand Thing. Did too, I did
too. I saw I didn't see it live. I saw a replay,
so I obviously knew that it didn't. But it's sure itself looked like it
if you were watching it live. I have a buddy Aldo who was out
at the race. Aldo was sending me pictures walking in and tell tell me
all kinds of stuff. But I'll see if I can get Aldo on to
talk about that, because that it is, it's it's strange. I mean,
look, a couple of years ago we had a car go up and
almost over the fence in the Indie now and I mean, you know,
and that's where they keep talking about the open the open uh cockpit and people
get scared because luckily nothing's happened in these cars are technologically even with the crashes,
these guys walk away all pre year. Remember it was like six seven
years ago Andrew brown top fuel race or his rear wheel broke off, went
in and didn't hit some lady and killed her. Yeah at the dre Grey.
Yeah you all. That's when they come over to tethers and stuff for
like that kind of stuff. But that was crazy. What I was thinking
of a ratio that you know, that race is about payback. I guess
I'm running because I just got my Speedway Illustrated Magazine saw four days ago.
When I've gone through it already, and there's the center, who's the centerfold
and speedway illustrated? They don't have one? What do you mean they need
to They need to get the Randy but they had miss We need miss cam
chafters Oh my god, they have miss camshaft or or miss uh tool and
die or not? Or or who's the mac tool girl? Remember they used
to have the mac tool girls? Oh yeah, yeah, well you know
they have they do it. They do have any have the big show uh
in Syracuse and March for the the ratio they do have missing They pick a
miss dirt, you know, they do pick that wherever that is. They
have a contriving for missus dirt. You put that on your resume. I
see you were missed dirty. There was a race that Eric Rudop another guy
were going on yea and the guy was leading and Eric Rudolph brand into him
and then a bucko and bumpers together. They couldn't. They were going to
the checker flag, but the air guy put the brakes on so they couldn't.
Just before they got to the check he put his brakes on and stopped
the most Another guy won. Guys that I ain't gonna win it near to
you that happened last year. That's funny, that's that's I mean, you
know, it's too bad because Ryan Brady was it was so cool to see
him win. I want to well, yeah, you know Ryan Blandy,
I mean that is You're right that that was a that's a pretty big I
think it's the biggest win of his career, is it not. It was
a great race. Definitely the biggest win of his career. I mean,
you know, it was very cool. I thought it was awesome. He
showed a motion, you know, And how'd you like it when he went
to grandstands like Newgarden didn't indeed, you know that was pretty cool. Well,
I think that's why he did it. Yeah, that's still it's pretty
cool. Yeah, I mean that it was a great It was a great
race all around. And to see Kyle Larson actually get luc and wipe out
that was something different. You just don't see it with the car control he's
got, you just don't see that. Yeah. And also it's pretty cool.
Oh yeah, I gotta tell you something too. What's that you got?
You have another fan that I forgot to tell you about last week?
Oh yeah, what's her big fan? Actually? Actually her name is Sue.
She works. She works at Wegman's with my wife Tracy. And actually
I stopped in and see Tracy last week on my day off, and there's
a guy named Chuck there. It works her. He's uh, does the
maintenance stuff. Well, he actually saw him and say, hey, have
you got a second? I said, sure, somebody wants to meet She's
always wanted to meet you. I go over and he goes just play go
along and says okay. He walks up and he says, uh, Sue.
He says, uh, you gotta come from meet You're in trouble.
He says, what I do is you gotta get out your autograph because here's
Rayson Randy And she was all happy to meet me. Wow, look at
that. And she they listened to your show religiously, Buddy's every day.
I love me. So you've got You've got a lot of fans at Wegman's,
at Canaday, you have a lot of fans wh you know, of
course, and a lot of people know that Tracy is my wife, you
know, so they asked quite sometimes I'll ask questions and talking to hear own
stuff like that. So you got some big fans. But she was really
happy to meet me, and she say said, she loves your showl.
Well that's very cool, and that was very nice for Suet Wagmans. What
does she do there? Uh? She works in over and uh uh,
I wanted I could tell the place, like where they serve food. So
she's like a not a clean up lady, but let's make sure everything's good,
clean and you know, everybody's taking care of and she'll actually got I
think she went after an order actually when I was talking with her and stuff.
So nice lady, okay, so nice lady. She was just happy.
It's a happy really happy to meet me. And you sound exactly like
you look you sound on a radio. So she was like, you know,
I don't sound different, but I wanted to make sure I got that
ends. It makes you get you gotta you gotta grow and thing coming.
But he got a lot of people that really miss you on the radio.
So we're doing good. Well we're here, buddy, we're doing Oh I
know they they're loving what you're doing. And um, and I have to
say, you know, it's it's a funny thing. You do something for
a very very long time and it's a big part of how people know you.
Uh, and then you go to something that's I mean, well,
podcasts have been around. It's still, i would say, in its infancy
compared to other forms of media. But I love it. I love it.
I love the freedom, I love the creativity that I get to do,
and I love that I'm I'm gonna be doing more, a whole bunch
more, which is gonna be a lot more stuff coming, and I'm very
excited about all of it. And that's very flattering, and I hope people
continue to find it. And you know, the best thing for anything,
for anything is word of mouth, right, whether I mean, just think
about you of I know a great mechanic. And if my best friend tells
me about a great mechanic, you think I'm not going to see Race and
Randy that you're You're wrong. And so I think word of mouth is a

I'm sorry, no, you go ahead. I was gonna say. We
went to Racist Saray night and uh, Eric Rudolph one for a second week
in a row. He was just flying. He started way back in the
feature. Justin finished third. So Justin had a good race. Pete finished
seventh. He was having a kind of he said, the trek was kind
of rough, tricks. It was better this week, and it was last
week that you could actually see the curves and dust were so bad. The
week before you couldn't see nothing. Yeah, and of course we had we
had, we know, we ate our way through everything, you know,
as always. You know, I'm thinking this this week, I'm a little
tight up. But in like two weeks, I'd like to go down there.
Maybe I'll meet you on a Saturday night, Okay, all right,
because I want to get out there and uh, the land A Legends start
sponsoring, right, so cool, Yeah, so that's right, cool.
Yeah. We took my grand a granddaughter asked if she could go this time,
so we took her for the first He's never been to a dirt track.
I wasn't sure how she was going to take it, but she loved
every minute of it. Well, there you go. It's in the blood,
Brandy, it's in the blood. Oh, I know, I know,
gotta be out of the bloody. Kevin put on a Hallmark movie here
in the studio, and it looks like it's a cooking competition. Is it
called the one? Yep? What's it called secret figuring? Guria, secret
ingredient. You've watched this one a couple of times, at least two or
three times. Yes, I wanted the one I think of it was the
people in a competition in nine. Yeah, they end up opening a restaurant
together. They both they end up both went in the price together and decided
to win the prize together. And go, that's a good movie. Hat
like it? All right? I'm rated the eight out of ten, eight
out of ten. We have to start going, like, what would Randy?
What would Randy's thing? Like eight out of ten wrenches? But that's
kind of lame, eight out of ten tires. We have to come up
with some kind of rating system for Randy. All right, we'll go I
like it. We'll go with like nuts eight out of ten leg nuts I
want to fight nuts today. I want to I love it, how tighter
the nuts today? I want to write a Hallmark movie. But I also
want to be in it. I don't have to be are you? Are
you the are you the? Are you? The no no no, the
star, the dick ex boyfriend. Maybe I'll be the dickex bosman. But
I'm wondering if I could just be, like I could be like a cab
driver, just some some small role like I appear I have maybe a line
in there. Yeah, I think which you should credit? Yeah, I
think you do a movie bill and you should be like an an agent trying
to get like I'm an next I'm an old race car driver that's kind of
seen his better days as alsodden, he gets another shot at greatness. Yeah,
and you think you'd be great as the agent. Okay, all I
think you'd be great at that. All right, So I'm the agent,
you're the old race car driver. But where we get we get great kind
of role and uh Jerry McGuire, Oh, who's the one who falls a
loof? Do I have to so I get to be the guy who who
gets the uh the pussy? Yeah, I'll push if you want to that
way that it's never been said in a Hallmark movie at all. What are
you here for the pushy all right, Randy, alright movie that's gone?
No. I like this. I liked I love the I love the concept.
First we ever, we should just write it and shoot it for YouTube.
There you go, yeah we Billmark? Uh Randy, I know.
Next week the racing again and we'll be without Chase Elliott. Where are they
heading right into It's called something worldwide to down you race the first year the
NASCAR is gonna be there, actually the next gen cars. Yeah. Um,
it's in Saint Louis. Uh. I think it's a mile and a
half track. It looks like it's pretty cool that I think blew the trucks
and the expendity has been there. This would be the first time that they're
going to be there. So there's another new race on the circus. So
it's gonna be interesting in the sea, you know. And it's where we're
a depth to the tract the best. I guess there's gonna be the one
that's gonna win it. If it's if it's a mile and a half,
If Blaney has any luck here and come let him go. I think he'd
be a pretty good pick. But I Kyle Larson and uh Byron there are
real good. They've been really good lately. Uh and even I mean,
look at you can't take of his name. It's the twenty three cart blahblah,
wallas. How he did deal in it? He finished fourth, has
a great race for him. Yeah, he's coming out. He's gonna win
a race soon. I'm telling you he's gonna win a race soon. I
guarantee it. Uh. Yeah, It's a short week for these guys,
and I think like with the rain delay and stuff, I think some of
these guys didn't get back to the shop and I think they had to put
stuff back on the cars because it's a different race next week and get him
out until three o'clock in the morning. Now, granted, it's all in
Charlotte, and most of the guys are there or they're what are they down?
Who's down to Spartansburg? Somebody's like an hour and a half away,
But most of the guys are are right there. But I mean, man,
that that that's quick turnaround. And I think even for the Exfinity guys,
like what is it a three hour race? And then they had to
get out of there and get on to the next site. Yeah, they'll
probably most of those teams have already been back and I've already got stuff changed,
are loading up and beyond the world tomorrow night. Yeah it's a short
week, so a week, yeah, sertair week. But hey, they're
getting paid. They're getting paid good money, so don't complain. That's what
I think, all right, I hear you there. There's how many race
Card drive with the crush night states? Would like to have that game?
I know one guy I'm talking to I would like to have that game.
It's a Hallmark movie written about him him maybe race and Landy. Maybe it's
the Senior Circuit. Now, would Tracy be okay? If in a movie
you you fall in love with somebody, Yeah, as long as it's her,
I wouldn't I wh Why wouldn't I want to full you look at like
the student, like like Tom Cruises in a new movie. Yeah, we
have a week back to an old flame. But listen to me, Like
what if Tracy says, I don't want to be on camera traces. I'm
not comfortable as an actress. I don't want to beat in it now and
then we'll find some we'll let hurt you, okay, j Javison right now,
perfect, Yeah, that'd be great. Thank you, Yes, thank

It's Kiss Forever the end credits for Randy's up start My God. It starts
with Psycho Circus ends with this. I wonder how much money they charge kisser
it would come cheat. It might because they'd be like, you want to
use that song? Really? God, I never gotted to kiss at all.
My friend Darren Warhowski's brother Kyle, Kyle and I always like butted heads
and stuff. He had. He liked kiss my buddy, I never really
gotted to kissing. My buddy said it was one of the best shows you
ever saw. I bet to put on a hell of a show. I
mean, but you gotta like the band. First of all, you know,
I mean, well, but I've gone to shows where maybe I was
about the band and walked away going that was a hell of a show.
I wasn't in the Stones show before I saw the Stones, and I walked
away like, damn fuck, can you not be a Stones fan? They
had some great, you know, authentically ripped off blues. I was in
my teens in the eighties when the last album did it come out? Was
what Steel Wheels? Oh God, some of the worst fucking songs are there?
Spots wheel fat that's right? Oh no, I love that. I
love that album. You love that album. I do like that album a
lot. Continental Drift was when I never really got from Steel Wheels. H
button, y'all COADEA, let's start me up on Steel Wheels? No,
start me up? No, that's from like eighty one. Yeah, I
was early on a yeah, start me up. It's not. But I
don't think they had I don't think there's anything that really stood out on the
Steel Wheels album. But the tour was great. I remember when they did
Hockey tong Women. They had to blow up that prostitutes and nikes pull them
on this thing, and yeah, they were doing that. We're into that
time of year where the clothes get a little skimpier. Yes, and there
are sometimes you can't help. But notice now I am on record as saying
and I and I stand by this somebody who looks good like let's say,
and my father will say to me all the time, Jesus Christ is like
they walk around naked nowadays when they come to the gym, ladies are all
nacred because it's all these skin tight clothes, right, the leggings or what
do they call them, one of those yoga pans, yoga pans, yoga
pans, so yo see it all. But if you get I mean,
sometimes it looks like somebody just stuff the suck full of quarters and that somebody's
asking one of these things that I cannot, I cannot not look at.
If you're watch on Facebook Live, you'll see from time to ten, the
heads will turn to the zoo out front and we'll see some yoga pants go
by. There's there's some good, but some but I am I will look
at them. I will stare twice at long bad, oh, absolutely bad.
Then I will good. And I don't know what that is. It's
been my whole life like, I can't help it. How is that even
possible? Well, you like watching trains, so it's that train wreck mentality.
It's not Well, I do like watching train wrecks. Uh, but
I would say this, fellas. Sometimes there's like women like, Okay,
you've got Canalda's coming this this week. Right, the weather's gonna be fairly
nice. You get out there. Men will check out women. But the
best way to get away with it when you're with your significant other is to
kind of make a bad comment. You got a bad mouth, the hot
chick in the clothes, I'm like, God, she thinks she's something or
I don't know what, or like, whoa what is that outfit? You
do that and then you get to stare and your significant other will love you
more? Or are your sunglass? You can sunglass and not be caught.
No you can't. Oh you can't know. You can't. I'm telling you
right now. I'm doing it for years. Yeah, because I think that
most you gotta be like really peripheral vision, because every guy like turns and
stares. I see guys turn even with the Sunglasses'll, hey, man,
I put on sunglasses, then keep your fucking head going straight. Dummy.
Well sometimes you see you see that story he said in the show. They
don't you're not You're not looking at that book at all. You don't even
read. You don't read. That's quick on the feet. I wanted to
ask H. Randy about this, and I don't know much about it,
so we can assume what may or may not have happened in this situation.
But a man was arrested after it was alleged that he menaced several pleat people,
including children, at his home in Wayne County. Now, I don't
know what menaced with a BB gun? Is is it? The is it?
The? Uh? Is this the father of the kid that Natasha's kid
whooked around? No On Sunday evening, it is alleged that fifty five year
old James Merritt had a BB gun and used it to menace three children and
four adults after a disturbance at his home. Get. I don't know,
but what would what? How do you menaced with a BB gun? Now?
I've been in BB gun wars? Did he fire the BB gun in
somebody? Maybe we were playing? Uh? Did you mention that his punishment
from your like your your drunk fathers? They're shooting a fucking baby gun at
yet you got a ziag. We were shooting those little Orby water pellet guns.
Yeah, were shooting him close rain, Me and my oldest were having
a war. He's running all over the place. But the rubber they're not
rubber, they're they're you stick him in water and they expand and then they're
just water bullets essentially called Orby's. I've never seen this, I said to
him. I go, I swear to God, it's a good thing you're
going to college, because if you were in the military, you'd be dead
in about three seconds because you can't hit shit. Kid couldn't. But I
don't know these orby gone. I don't know this at all. Yeah,
because when I was a kid, we used to get the rubber pellet like
and they would be all over the house. Oh yeah, these are all
over the house. They you get hit close enough, they sting a little
bit before because they don't hurt too much. Well, they're filled with water.
Yeah. Yeah, So is it like a sponge thing that's absorbs water
and then yeah, it just expands and it gets like size of a baby.
Yeah, and it fires it and it get my automatic bigger as it
comes at semi automatic. I was firing semi automatic at him. Nice and
then we started shooting. Some of the dads were mouthing off, so I
got close range and started shooting them. Where was this just in the driveway?
Look at you? Very good? That's very nice. Now there's a
big event at Kevin's house this week and your son's graduating. How much pressure
is there on you? It's like now like the house need to be spotless,
that kind of pressure from the wife, the yard, all this stuff.
Or is it just kind of I'm kind of handling the outside stuff,
so I'm getting I was talking with neighbors about canopy tents and tables and what
I can borrow and who's got what. And we went and got the beer
in the wine yesterday, so we're getting there. I probably cut the grass
Thursday or Friday. Yeah, there's a lot of pressure for these things.
You know it is because is everybody coming over, and you know people will
judge. I mean I'll be sitting there judging. I know you will be
pointing out all the jobs for Mac. I will not. I won't.
I won't. You could have done that. I saw an old picture of
like my old house in the backyard, and I go, oh, God,
like the backyard back by the pool there was I needed to tear the
bricks up because when it rained, it all pooled, so it looked all
muddy on the on the papers, and I'm like, that looks terrible,
terrible. I had so much. I don't think I'll ever own a house
again. I don't. I think I'll get a condos and I'll either I'll
get a house or I'm gonna have to get some rich. Are you gonna
get the house on the lake in the house in the mountains and if you're
not gonna own a house long term rentals? Yeah, yeah, m I'll
let them go for the RFO. That'll be the perfect way. I have
a segment that I don't know what to do with that I recorded and I'll
just I'll just put it out here on the pot and I'm debating. I
thought I would kind of piece it into something else that we ran because I
came back from Rhinebeck today and um, I had done the podcast with my
brother, which I just I just recommend listening to. If there's anybody who
doesn't have the word can't in his vocabulary, it's him, not that there
aren't obstacles, not there aren't things that he may say no too, but
that if he's gonna do it, he's there's no canned. I mean,
this is a guy who rode his bicycle cross country with no training like a
lot of people train a long time and basically got scolded by another guy who
had just done it because when you're never gonna finish, and he did all
this shit. So it's an interesting podcast, and I call it the most
interesting Moran because he really is a segment the forty minutes of you pissing at
the rest stop because you had to go so bad earlier, so he no.
The segment is my niece and nephew I saw, I think I took
a picture of them, and we did a segment and then I feel I
want to read this. Let me see if I have it. You got
no show with those papers right there, So I my niece and nephew sat
down. Now, my niece is ten and my nephew is six. And
Dylan is a whole lot of fun and you know a lot of boy,
big personality, much like his dad, and and Mallory is very much too.
She's a great combination with both her. How's your sister laws leg Morgan
doing okay, She's getting around. She had a bad break at a roller
skating party that required all kinds of surgery and things. And Morgan is another
one doesn't stop. I mean she's up and moving and you know, doing
all the rehab that she needs to do, and like they got the kids
that nobody's nothing slown down. She coached softball for her daughter this year and
so all that stuff. But my niece and I felt bad. I didn't
know it. She was over furiously writing something right, and she probably write
you a set. No, she was. She was furiously writing. And
she wrote an intro for the podcast because she wanted to be on and she
kept saying to me, kiming, I do it, so it's not sure.
So she sat down and I used the on the road intro and she
wrote this, Hello, and welcome to Billified. I'm Mallory, and we
are two of three podcasters. She never said her brother's name. By the
way, Dylan, we were two or three podcasters you will here today.
And some jokes, why did the banana go to the doctors? I got
you got me because it wasn't peeling. Well, oh, why did the
cookie go to the doctor? Nope, because it was feeling crummy. Oh
but she wrote this, and then she did write Yes, I blew right
past it, like not even knowing that she was doing it, but I
saw it. I thought she was writing just jokes and she was going to
read them in the podcast. But I have a segment and it's cute.
Uh. You know, Dylan doesn't say a whole lot, but she does,
and she's got just cool insight to a ten year old's mind and stuff
like that. I just don't know what what to do with it. Bonus
Friday, Yeah, a little bonus Friday. Yeah, all right, okay,
yeah, maybe I'll do that or Saturday. I was thinking, yeah,
a little bonus Uh look for that. It'll be very short, but
it's it's cute, and it's the kids. And who doesn't like listen to
the kids that aren't your own? All right? And of course I'm sure
you were helping along with hagging them on a little bit. Oh no,
there was there an a lot of farting and a lot of all kinds of
things going on. And that was just a dinner on Saturday, Yes,
all right, For Kevin Muir has got a big weekend ahead of him with
the graduation of his oldest son. I'm Bill Moran. We'll see tomorrow.
In Cold Tale, didn't know what to do. I'm kind of tv YA
the Letter to you and finding out a bag here, the mother here to stay
