1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:09,279
Ain't no sunshine when she's go.
It's not warm when she the wie.

2
00:00:10,279 --> 00:00:15,199
So it happens when the sun disappears. We are at Solar Palooza when she's

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:22,600
done and she's Skycoasters are playing it. So we're recording this at about two

4
00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:28,480
twenty five pm. The totality hits
here at about three eighteen I think,

5
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:34,039
and last three minutes. And you
can actually somebody told me that they went

6
00:00:34,039 --> 00:00:38,119
to an eclipse and it got windy, you know, and here we could

7
00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:41,679
feel the breeze picking up. The
temperature is dropping. You can feel that.

8
00:00:42,119 --> 00:00:45,039
Somebody said it drops dropped like ten
degrees. Oh I think we did

9
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:48,679
that last sunning in the podcast.
Yeh yes, and then uh. And

10
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:52,079
it's getting a lot of national attention. Now. I have a buddy who

11
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,719
I went to Saint John Fisher with
Duke. I used to always sing Duke

12
00:00:55,759 --> 00:00:59,359
of Rule when I would get drunk
and just driving crazy. But Duke is

13
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:03,400
part of the Rochester Welcome Committee.
I don't know, it's not welcome committee,

14
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,879
but it's it's like a sea.
It's the head of tourism for Rochester.

15
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:14,079
Really And I said, is it
like overplayed because everybody's on social media

16
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:17,439
go, yeah, there's no traffic. They're screwing us again, they're lying

17
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:19,959
to us. And I thought,
well, I don't know that that's true.

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,079
I think people were just sort of
behaving themselves, planning. And then

19
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,239
Deputy Hurley told us last night they've
been planning for this for a year.

20
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,640
In change right, somebody said that
there was there were some places that for

21
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:32,760
seven years they've known this was coming, and so they really planned it.

22
00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:37,560
I think there's probably four or five
thousand people here now, oh yeah.

23
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:42,079
And he said to me that every
Airbnb in the area was come on over,

24
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,359
have a seat, have a seat, you can have a seat.

25
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:52,959
I'm well, doctor Mayer, Oh
yeah, Dennis to the red Wings here.

26
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:55,719
You can see if we can kind
of set them up there. The

27
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,519
uh. But he told me that
every within the path of total, every

28
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:06,319
Airbnb or ninety nine percent of airbnbs
are sold out. The hotels are sold

29
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:09,120
out locally, and he said,
just you know, traffic and stuff.

30
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:13,520
I think most people were kind of
staying in one area. But so far,

31
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:15,960
so good, and they think there's
another five thousand over at the Rochester

32
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:20,240
Museum and Science Center and some other
things. Have you been excited about this?

33
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:22,400
Are you where? Are you gonna
watch it here? Get right on

34
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:24,759
that mic there? Yeah? Are
you gonna stay here? Okay? I

35
00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:27,840
didn't know if you were heading out? No, I got a buddy who's

36
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:34,879
coming. He didn't. Oh,
I get in here. I'm sorry.

37
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,400
Okay the cliff, Yes, doctor
Mayer when and now I know people who

38
00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:43,280
go to him. It's all sports
memorabilia when you go in there, and

39
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,280
a whole lot. I saw you
up in the Bills when we were up

40
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,439
at the Bill's Mafia House. Yeah
and so and did all the players come

41
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:55,879
to you? Yeah? If there's
ever emergency dental stuff? Yeah. Yeah.

42
00:02:57,039 --> 00:03:00,840
You know, this is my nineteenth
season that we can step this nineteenth

43
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:04,520
season is the wing stends? Wow? Well very good. So you know

44
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,879
people say my office is like a
sports bar. Yes, it is,

45
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,039
without without the alcoholic. Yeah.
Now, I mean you got the novcame,

46
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,199
we got the novacase. Get you
there. That'll get you there.

47
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,520
Well, nice to see. I
don't want to hold you up if you

48
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,520
were heading somewhere, Tyler. I
want to know something in school. Was

49
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,240
this a big deal or not a
big deal? The eclipse? And I

50
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,400
know you've been off for last week, right, Yeah, and so was

51
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:34,240
it a big deal? Yah?
Yeah, big deal, not big deal,

52
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,879
not really a big deal because apparently
I guess everyone got off, so

53
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,479
yeah, But I mean in terms
of like, were there any any talk

54
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:45,479
about it in science classes or anything
or nothing? Nothing? Why? That's

55
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:47,000
why I was surprised to say kids
had in school off today, because I

56
00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:51,759
figured it'd be a great day to
have the kids in school learning about the

57
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,560
eclipse and then going out or going
home. And why would you make sense?

58
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,840
I think that they were worried about
the traffic stuff and then kids not

59
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,319
getting home too late parents or parents
being stuck at traffic and not getting home.

60
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,599
So that way, if they don't
have the kids, not their responsibility.

61
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,360
The kids say you get home late
and I get an extra twenty minutes.

62
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:13,639
Silence, ooh darn, I don't
know. I think that was part

63
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:16,959
of it. Now, this is
getting national attention and some regional stuff.

64
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,160
So NBC News out of New York, Channel four in New York City,

65
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,319
if you're in the New York metropolitan
area is here. And the weather guy

66
00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:31,319
used to be the CBS National Weather
Guy. He was when CBS Sunday Morning

67
00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:36,639
Show, so he had my dad
as a teacher, and years ago they

68
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:42,040
put him on every sitcom on CBS
to promote the morning show, and he

69
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,240
did some radio hits and he and
I talked, so I just walked over

70
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,360
to him and he said, he'll
be live on NBC the Network with Lester

71
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:57,399
Holt at three to twenty from Rochester
at three twenty, so hopefully before then

72
00:04:57,439 --> 00:05:00,319
he'll come down. And I wanted
to try to call my dad and see

73
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,839
if I you know what, I'm
gonna do something my dad will totally hate.

74
00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:04,879
I'm going to try to call him
right now on the podcast and just

75
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,040
see and let him know that David
Price who he taught. And right away,

76
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:15,360
David Price immediately knew my fond who
remembers sixth grade, nobody remembers funny.

77
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,160
He goes man, he was so
funny. He was great. So

78
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,600
my dad had called a little while
ago, and I thought, let me

79
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,120
see if I can try to get
him. Uh, and it would be

80
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:26,879
fun with David. And David asked
me how old he is now, and

81
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:30,720
Uh, it was just thrilled.
It was very very cool. It's kind

82
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,439
of nice because you know, as
anybody who's a parent, you know that

83
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,920
sometimes your kids think you're a big
pain in the ash. But it's nice

84
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:42,879
to hear somebody else say something nice. Milli yelling. He's not there.

85
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,439
That's all right. We'll see if
we can get him. My mother is

86
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,120
here, she's been down on the
on the field. We walked around on

87
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:55,560
the warning track. We got the
the skycoasters have people dancing. We did

88
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:59,800
go and get the roar Bock.
Uh. Total eclipse, that's what it's

89
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,639
called. It's a very dark beer, but it's very good. You're you

90
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,800
enjoying. You can get right in
the microphone there, and it's very exciting

91
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:10,439
here. The vibe is wonderful,
and we're getting closer to the time now,

92
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,839
and you can feel a change in
the atmosope. Well yeah, and

93
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,079
Kevin said, I mean, Kevin
pointed out how quiet it's getting. Just

94
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,199
and you were telling me mom on
the way here that the animals get very

95
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,279
quiet. The animal is supposed to
get quiet, and you're supposed to use

96
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:29,560
all your senses to fill the animals
think it's nighttime. Right. Oh,

97
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:33,680
there's mace in the uniform. He
got it on. Oh he must have

98
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,600
had some time. We needed that. Uh, it's a whole lot of

99
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:41,279
mine. They've really done a nice
job down here today and we will see

100
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:44,800
I think at what are we about
an hour away? The countdown clock for

101
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:51,399
Rochesters forty minutes from right now?
Oh boy, thirty seven minutes? Do

102
00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:56,000
we need to start heading down now? You think it might be traffic all

103
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,240
the way to the field, and
maybe traffic all the way to the field.

104
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,600
People were very kidding here. It
is starting to get darker and darker,

105
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:04,800
which would be what happens. There's
a lot of great celestial shirts here

106
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:11,480
and people dressed in their star finery
and nothing says Rochester though, like once

107
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,600
in a lifetime, and it's cloudy. Kevin sent me a picture and it

108
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,560
said nothing. That's the eclipse in
Buffalo, no goal wide right and cloudy

109
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:26,759
eclipse. Well, what are you
gonna do? It's the path of totality,

110
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,560
that's what's gonna happen. All right. We'll take them moment where we

111
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,079
are at Innovative Field for the Solar
Palooza. Hopefully you're enjoying it wherever you

112
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,439
are. And if you don't get
to see this one, the next one

113
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:39,040
will be in two years and you
can go over to Spain or Portugal and

114
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,839
catch the totality there. The next
one you're in the States twenty forty five,

115
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:45,879
it's going through Florida. If Florida
still exists at that point, yeah,

116
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,879
it might have sunk by that.

within this decade, you know what
I mean, it's it's amazing.

164
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:03,120
I think the next time it's gonna

165
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,519
five years? Is that what we're
saying? Twenty forty five, twenty forty

twenty forty five you'll see it again.

167
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:13,200
Yeah, guys? Will they Guys? I'm still here and able to see

168
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,720
it. Yeah, well, of
course you're gonna be. What do you

169
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:22,480
do for fun? Well, I
I'm a clothes designer. I make clothes

170
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:28,000
and I love and I love to
Uh what kind of clothes you make?

171
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,080
It? I do hoddies? This
is actually good a mother all right.

172
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,200
It's called street art, So I
pretty much take anything from the streets and

173
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:39,159
make it into my own art work, like you do, see like silk

174
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,399
screen. Yeah, yeah, so
you take people's graffiti and you put it

175
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,279
on. But now hang out,
I get right back in there. Would

176
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:52,480
that be considered stealing somebody else's art? No? I actually I actually uh

177
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,919
because I use my name so and
I uh, I just basically uh,

178
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,360
I basically pat in there, Yes, I got you. They're tags and

179
00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:05,159
everything like that. So I give
whoever it was ta get some money.

180
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,879
Yeah, you know, I give
them recognition of everything that comes off of

181
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,399
whatever I do. Okay, so
you know, or I just or I'll

182
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,720
just make or I just come up
with my own street art because I'm also

183
00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:20,919
an artist and a pain on myself. Really, yes, sir, Now

184
00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:22,159
where would I go? Do you
do street art? Yes? I do?

185
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,360
Where can I go see it?
Actually? The underground subway there,

186
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:30,039
Yes, I have. I have
a few down in the under the subway,

187
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,279
and I have there's some great art
down there, to be honest,

188
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,440
Like I remember going down to being
very impressed because that stuff takes some time,

189
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:41,960
and I'm thinking, why would it
almost feels like now this is just

190
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:46,120
an old man thinking. But I
feel like in a way it's a waste

191
00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:48,960
because who sees it. It's hidden
and it's great art, it really is.

192
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,919
I mean because a lot of the
times, the you know, the

193
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:58,360
cops and everything, they kind of
us for that. So of course that's

194
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,759
what I'm saying, Like too bad
he couldn't do would like on a piece

195
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:03,480
of canvas and sell it somewhere,
right, right, and that that would

196
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:07,399
be amazing. So like, uh, I'm actually I actually want to work

197
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,519
on something like that for the community
where we can get uh the area where

198
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,360
we can just go. They have
a skate park park, they need a

199
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,480
tag park right where you can tag
stuff where we can just go show our

200
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,879
you know, how people come down
there and enjoy what we do. My

201
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,759
uh, my youngest son was very
into graffiti stuff, like into the art

202
00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:30,720
and he had his own tag and
everything, and then he got busted at

203
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,799
school because he put a tag on
a sink and they knew, what's him?

204
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:39,039
You can't, you know, you
gotta be a little more like Banksy.

205
00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:41,360
I think that they think they found
the real Banksy. He was painting

206
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,200
a mural in New York City.
Yeah, they think they caught him.

207
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,399
So so uh besides this, what
do you guys do it? So you

208
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,919
guys, I said, talk ship
all day long? Podcast whatever? Yeah?

209
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,320
Yeah, yeah, you want to
listen to it. It's called Billified

210
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,879
and anywhere anywhere you anywhere you get
podcasts. Where do you get your podcasts?

211
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,639
Spotify? Apple? Yeah, yeah, there you go. That's it.

212
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:11,240
Now he can tang you under the
under the subway bridge that's right.

213
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,440
Where do you uh so, do
you live in the city. Yes,

214
00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:18,120
I live off of Monroe. All
right, talk to me about the city.

215
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,679
What do you think what's happening in
the city these days? Honestly,

216
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:28,360
I've been more into myself lately.
That's a good thing, to get more

217
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,519
in tune with myself. And what
do you do to get in tune your

218
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:39,559
with yourself? I listen to music
and I sit down and I critique myself

219
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,720
on my on my craft that I
do and all my artwork and stuff like

220
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:46,559
that. You ever meditate or anything? I do? A lot of that.

221
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:50,080
I have. I have before.
I have, like you know,

222
00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:54,879
three or four times before, you
know, But that actually helps to that

223
00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:56,759
actually knows well it helps you get
in tune with yourself. Yeah, a

224
00:14:56,799 --> 00:15:01,600
little bit. Well that's good.
And and how many games do you have

225
00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:07,440
to work? Are you at all? Seventy five throughout the season for the

226
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,559
most part, Yeah, for the
most part. Yeah, that's a lot.

227
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,559
Yeah, that's good. It's a
nice way to spend the summer long.

228
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:15,480
Yeah, it definitely is. Now, what do you do when they're

229
00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:18,440
during the off season? Well,
this is my first year here, okay,

230
00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:22,240
so you know, I just want
to get the experience to everything here,

231
00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:26,120

people, because I'm all about meeting

232
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:31,840
new people and everything. So I'm
very excited to start here. But you

233
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:35,120

I you know, I float around between

234
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,240
like two or three different restaurants.
Gotcha like that? All right? Well,

00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,720
I thought I was gonna fall off
the rows and being a whole different

247
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:37,960
place. But honestly, I kept, I don't know, I just I

248
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:41,399

in myself and knowing where my mom would

00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,679
want me and to keep pushing,
and I just, you know, I

250
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,320
just stayed in the zone, and
I just gave it my all, you

251
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,039
know, And I'm keeping I'm gonna
keep giving it my off, and I'm

00:16:52,039 --> 00:16:56,000
not gonna stop, you know.
It's It's all gonna be for her,

253
00:16:56,039 --> 00:16:57,559
you know pretty much. I'm I'm
doing it for her and my awesome,

254
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:00,840
my twin brother, because I lost
the twenty brother took so jeez, okay,

255
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:06,480
all right, twin brother. How
old was he? We were eighteen

256
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:10,839
at the time. Eighteen at the
time. What happened, Well, he

257
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,759
got uh uh, he got in
an incident with some people. I wasn't.

258
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,680
I wasn't in New York at the
time. I was. Uh was

259
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,599
it here, Yes, it was
in Rochester. Was shot, Yes,

260
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,720
he was shot in someone's house or
something. Something came up. I was,

261
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,680
honestly, I was. I was
dancing at this time because I still

262
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:36,200
teach hip hop dancing too, so
I was. Uh. I was actually

263
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:42,200
into a dancing group back then,
and and I was in uh what was

264
00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:48,160
it? I was in California and
I was there for a battle with the

265
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:51,839
team, and I got a call
and then I had to leave the battle

266
00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:56,200
and everything because I'm really sorry to
hear that. It's just the violence in

267
00:17:56,279 --> 00:18:00,799
the city sometimes it ruins a lot
of great things out this. Why can't

268
00:18:00,839 --> 00:18:06,880
people just learn to work stuff out? Right? That's where I'm at right

269
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,359
now, Like if we if we're
all just you know, willing to work

270
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,759
it out without you know, fighting, well, you know, shooting or

271
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:18,440
anything like that, shooting stuff.
Even if you just you know, you

272
00:18:18,519 --> 00:18:19,880
know, throw throw it out with
your hands, duke it out with your

273
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,960
hands, you know it, I
think will the city will be a lot

274
00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:27,240
better, you know. But like
right now, I love my city.

275
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:32,599
I love this city we have.
We have a great place here. You

276
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,359
know, we have a lot of
great things about Rochester. If only if

277
00:18:36,519 --> 00:18:40,880
only people gave it a chance to
come here to really experience it. Yeah,

278
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:42,599
I know, I agree with you. I've lived here for a long

279
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,200
time. You know, I'm not
exactly born from here. I'm born from

280
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,839
Little Rock, Arkansas, but I
was raised here most of my life.

281
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,039
Yeah, so I basically, you
know, I don't been through a lot

282
00:18:56,079 --> 00:18:59,880
of things in the city. So
I love everything about the city. Man,

283
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,200
there's no great place. It's just
that that that the problem is,

284
00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:07,640
Like you just wish that people there's
a lot of emotional issues, right,

285
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,960
and a lot of stress, and
I think that if people could learn to

286
00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:14,880
handle that stuff a little bit better. But man, we get so angry

287
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,880
and we're quick with that trigger.
And that's the stuff that's really scary and

288
00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:22,119
very very sad and gives cities a
bad reputation, as you're saying, and

289
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,519
it's usually a small percentage of people, but it makes the whole community scared

290
00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:29,799
and stuff. And I'm sorry that
you've had to live through that. That's

291
00:19:29,799 --> 00:19:33,599
some tough business in your mom and
everybody. That's something. Well. I

292
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,079
appreciate you sitting down. You're an
interesting dude. Appreciate it. What's your

were able to see it? No,

304
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:26,400
No, I was up. I

dark and it got cold, and it

00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,880

00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:52,359
They they have their moments, all
right. Well, Roosevelt, we don't

311
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,039

315
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,720
way, I played football, not

00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:18,599

00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:41,359
I think Roosevelt takes Doug down.
Yeah, Doug wants to get back

322
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,880
into it. Doug Woods went at
Greece Olympia. He went to Wagner on

330
00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:17,319
things. But I will be afraid
now get right in there now, don't

331
00:22:17,319 --> 00:22:19,119
get upset with me. But if
I sneezed, I'd be afraid something to

332
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,039
be hanging off the star. You
know what I'm saying. Right, If

333
00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:30,519
I sneezed, I get sinus issues
and stuff. No, I know,

334
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,880
Well you're very lovely. So when
did you get that done? When I

335
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,319
was in high school? What are
you not in high school? Now?

336
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,039
You look very young. I'm not
in high school no more. Okay.

We're graduated last year, last year
okay? And so and you're working here?

338
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,160
Yeah, I've been working here.

00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,640

00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,680

344
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,839
I heard young people don't like to
work. Oh, so what I've

345
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:14,039
I've been told that? Aren't we
told that young people don't want to work?

346
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:18,240
I said the same thing. I
said, I don't believe it because

347
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,000
you just graduate high school? So
what are you eighteen or nineteen? Okay?

348
00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:26,319
So I have sons who are twenty

349
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,880
all the time, and I go, what is this garbage? And then

350
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:34,079
I meet you Zayisha, and she's

00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:42,200
proud. Yes, your mother,
your mother must be very proud. That's

353
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,079
a very good thing. And you
knew this was a podcast, but it's

354
00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:51,200
a podcast you probably never listen to. No, it's called Billified. You

355
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,880
can fight today where you get your
podcasts? All right, well, it's

356
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:59,640
nice talking to you, all right. Roscoe the clown. I was watching

357
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,640
you make call the balloon animals.
Now, my brother went to clown college

358
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,480
for a minute. Where did he
go in Florida? Ah, he went

359
00:24:07,519 --> 00:24:11,079
to that famous one down in Florida, down in the Orlando area because he

360
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,799
was working in Disney as an economic
forecaster. But he always did like clowns.

361
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,119
But you learn to do the makeup, makeup and all that kind of

362
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,599
stuff. Yeah, how long does
it take to do your makeup? And

363
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,000
now I got it down to less
than twenty five minutes? Okay, And

364
00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:27,839
then you come out and you do
the balloon animals and things. But are

365
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:34,119
people there are people who have a
clown phobia. Since Steven came out with

366
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:42,839
the that was our first going downhill
a little bit with the kids being afraid

367
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:48,359
of clowns. And those kids now
are they were afraid of clowns, are

368
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,880
now parents that are passing down to
their kids? Yeah? You know,

369
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,000
because you used to do birthday parties
and things I've done. I done birthday

370
00:24:56,039 --> 00:25:02,279
parties for almost thirty five years and
I've been in the circus for eighteen years.

371
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,880
What circus? I did the Shrine
Circus okay, you know the one

372
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,240
that was at the Blue Cross area. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And

373
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:12,519
then with being a Shriner, I
went to different cities like Aubany, Pittsford,

374
00:25:15,039 --> 00:25:18,880
Syracuse, Buffalo, helping out other
Shriners to do So. Now as

375
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,200
a clown, what do you have
to do in the shrine circus? Did

376
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,359
you have to? Can you ride
a unicycle? I can do the unicycle,

377
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,240
I can juggle. What we would
do is put on developed skits that

378
00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:33,240
we would do actually during part of
the show. Yeah, okay, so

379
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,599
you developed skits and everything. Did
you have to write them? I mean

380
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,400
you have to write what people are
gonna do, the actions and all we

381
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,880
had, Well, then we had
the sources that we can get pre made

382
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,759
up skits, okay, we like
to do the ones that we can develop

383
00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:51,920
our own ourself. Yeah. So
how how much time goes into practicing for

384
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,559
something like that? If we were
do the circus we start four months before

385
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,119
okay four months before and do you
is it how many hours a day?

386
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,319
We only do that by three if
we first start out, but one day

387
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,640
a week okay working out their routine. But when he gets close to circus

388
00:26:07,759 --> 00:26:10,880
time, we're doing it about four
times a week. Yeah. Do you

389
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,079
have to almost get like in shape
for that? You know what I'm saying

390
00:26:14,559 --> 00:26:17,720
on the tour? Well? Yeah, like honestly you're going on to or

391
00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:21,279
You've got to be able to juggle
and keep your rhythm and do you can

392
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,640
you? Do you still or could
you ever ride the unicycle and juggle at

393
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,400
the same time? Uh? Not
no, not not now no, But

394
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,839
I mean it's you could. Yes. To me, that's amazing because the

395
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,880
balance they always had in boxing.
Guys ride unicycles sometimes too for balance.

396
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,000
It was great balance. We've had
a unicycle sitting in our studio for nine

397
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:44,480
months and somebody claims they can ride
and then yea has still sitting there.

398
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,079
They haven't. It needs to be
these a little works to be tightened up

399
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,960
and stuff. But yes, I
always I have been able to ride a

400
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:55,319
unicycle in the past past. Yes, it takes a lot of work,

401
00:26:56,279 --> 00:26:57,440
it does, but once you do
it, I mean, it's like juggling.

402
00:26:57,519 --> 00:27:02,319
I could juggle now. My brother
juggles fire. He juggles all that

403
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,759
stuff, and he really enjoys the
clown stuff. But it was more of

404
00:27:04,839 --> 00:27:10,960
a I think who was the clown
mom that he went to somebody's house and

405
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,759
they were having a sale, and
she she He mentioned that he went to

406
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:19,319
clown college and the clown had passed
away the man who performing as a clown,

407
00:27:19,319 --> 00:27:22,799
and his wife said, we'll come
here and let me sell you some

408
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,720
of the good stuff. Oh yeah, yeah, the different tricks and things.

409
00:27:25,759 --> 00:27:30,000
I mean, is there is somewhat
of a fraternity among clowns. That

410
00:27:30,079 --> 00:27:33,200
sounds silly to say, but you
know people who really sort of appreciate the

411
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,559
art of clowning. Oh definitely,
And we've all there's many different associations and

412
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,480
all, like we have the Shrine
Clowns, which is an international group.

413
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:51,680
Used to be before the circuses started
going downhill. We used to being almost

414
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,160
one hundred and twenty two cities.
Okay, so when we get together and

415
00:27:56,599 --> 00:27:59,400
we became friends and all that kind
of stuff, and someone was going to

416
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,079
retire, he would say, Okay, I got this stuff, I want

417
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,920
you to I want to sell and
all that or a lot of time they

418
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,039
say, ok just take it.
Yeah. And there's rules too, right,

419
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,319
No two clowns can have the same
name. It's all registered and stuff.

420
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,759
Yes, my name is registered.
You know. So how did you

421
00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:19,920
get Roscoe? Basically if he gave
you he gave me a look like,

422
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,920
that's so much question you can answer
me. But I don't know. I

423
00:28:25,079 --> 00:28:26,440
just didn't even know. Like if
they give you like a list and you

424
00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:30,440
picked it, like back in the
Magician, how it does to make thumb

425
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,119
disappear? Does everybody remember when you
had like a different if you took a

426
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,880
language class in high school, pick
a friend. I had to pick a

427
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,640
name, like I picked Guillermo in
Spanish because it was William and my name

428
00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:44,200
is Bill William. But I didn't
know what. I don't know how they

429
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:49,920
do it with the clouds. I'm
gonna okay, spell Roscoe backwards, Roscoe

430
00:28:51,039 --> 00:29:00,279
backwards? R Oscar is it Oscar? Oscar. Okay, Oh, excuse

431
00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:03,000
your name is sheick Roscoe? Look
at that? Yeah, that's great because

432
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:06,920
I thought Roscoe of the Clown.
I go, yeah, I don't know

433
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,000
if I've ever heard of a Roscoe
of the clown. But it works all

434
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,440
to work too. Oscar the Clown
would have worked as well, that is

435
00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:15,039
true. Yeah, but you have
to Oscar the Grouch. So you don't

436
00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:18,359
want to you know what I mean? I think people make infringement. What

437
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,160
do we get gimmic infringement? I
think that it's what just word association,

438
00:29:22,319 --> 00:29:26,799
name association. You want to be
the grouch? When I when I give

439
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,160
people my real name, I say
I'm Oscar to Grouch, you know,

440
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,680
and they remember my name as they
said I'm Oscar to Grouch. I used

441
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:40,359
to use say I'm Oscar from the
Couples. Okay, now did you remember

442
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:45,000
that? Did you ever do like
pratt falls and all that stuff? Yeah,

443
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:48,920
like ever get hurt injured? Oh? When I was younger. Now

444
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,519
I bounce back, but no,
I would never do it now. No,

445
00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:57,200
now I don't bounce because I used
to do for twenty six years.

446
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:02,519
I used to do uh for raids. Okay, on roller skates on roller

447
00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:06,720
skates. Yeah, on uneven pavement, not knowing whatever's in the street,

448
00:30:06,759 --> 00:30:11,160
people throwing their candy back at you, the potholes exactly. I always when

449
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,680
they paved a new road. Okay, yes it's smooth. Yeah, but

450
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,200
you always come up with something that
the kids are gonna remember you buy.

451
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,680
Okay, it's okay. He's the
one that rolled us roller skates. Orr.

452
00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:25,799
He did this in the circus.
He did that in the circus.

453
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,880
But like here, the kids I
would know that. I'm uh red wings

454
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,559
clowns. Yeah, it's fair like
because I've been with the rent Face for

455
00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:36,880
twenty nine years, So twenty nine
years of doing that. Thirty five is

456
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,440
a clown? Did you say?
Yeah? And it's just a pat What

457
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:44,960
got you into it? What made
you go? You know what? That's

458
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,039
a damn good idea. I gotta
be careful what I say. There's a

459
00:30:49,079 --> 00:30:59,400
woman, there was a woman.
She loved clowns. But uh, dory,

460
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,640
I'm gonna fray. I play a
very important holiday character. You play

461
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,519
a very important holiday character. Yeah, would be Screwge from Christmas, the

462
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,400
jelly red guy. Oh oh,
Santa, Yes, okay, I did

463
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,799
that. I've been doing that since
nineteen seventy eight. Okay, okay,

464
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:23,559
and one year I was working the
malls and I basically what we call the

465
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:29,359
longest holiday season new is when you
get early Thanksgiving. Yeah, and then

466
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,359
they go to Christmas like we just
got done. We went this year,

467
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:37,519
it's five weeks, five weekends before
Christmas. I did. Even though I

468
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:41,440
had a full time job. I
worked at the malls the whole time.

469
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,440
And you really got to the point
where you know, I'm not psychoed,

470
00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:49,079
but you walk around and say,
hey, I am Santa Claus. And

471
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:55,559
then the true good Santa Claus are
the one that come across. I am

472
00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:00,279
Santa Claus. Yea, they've really
come across. Fuss. You know.

473
00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:04,000
My biggest thing is always helping.
I don't just say are you been good?

474
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,799
And I will go If I know
there were two, three or four

475
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:12,599
kids, I would say which one
caused a fight in the car or which

476
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,559
one didn't eat your veget role?
Yeah, you know, because they always

477
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:20,039
hut it out there and you get
that look like okay, I got a

478
00:32:20,119 --> 00:32:23,480
deer look in my face. Yeah, yeah, you know. But after

479
00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:30,039
that long season, I went to
a local establishment serve the Doubt Beverages and

480
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:35,839
I was talking to the bartender and
she said, I said, I was

481
00:32:36,519 --> 00:32:39,559
basically going through Sanders went wrong,
you know, because you walk around everybody

482
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,920
wants you to talk to you and
all that kind of stuff. And after

483
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,039
you get done with the season.
No, I didn't want to talk to

484
00:32:45,119 --> 00:32:49,680
you. So, uh, the
bartender said, why don't you become a

485
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:52,759
clown? I said, no,
no, I can't do that. And

486
00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:57,039
Wie Pine at the time, was
a bartender. She went out to the

487
00:32:57,079 --> 00:33:00,960
heroine costume, got me a costume. Look at this so there was a

488
00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:06,160
woman, yea, and she got
me no stuff. And then I took

489
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:10,200
Coln College. Yeah, a local
community, Yeah, let's go, and

490
00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:14,680
fell in love with it. And
I've been doing it ever since. There

491
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,920
you go, it's Roscoe and you
can see him. Are you here for

492
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,920
almost every home game, all weekends, all weekends, all weekend home games.

493
00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:24,359
Did you ever Easter Bunny? Did
you ever Easter Bunny? The answer

494
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,920
to that is yes, he once
was the Easter Bundy. I could tell

495
00:33:28,119 --> 00:33:34,960
I do not have the proper physique. Okay, well, at any point,

496
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:39,599
you know, I'd be with a
belly. He hate all the candy.

497
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,559
He really likes his karts never down. Well, Roscoe, it was

498

worry about it. But he's come to
