From the Mac of All Trade Studio in Fairport and driven by Victor Chrysler Dots
Jeep Wram. It's Billified the Bill Moran Podcast. Well, hello and welcome.
Thanks for getting your pawn on. Thanks for telling a friend. That's
how we spread the word about the pirate ship. Danny's back, he's wearing
his Michigan hack. Come on, Michigan. Hopefully put a glass in my
glass. You can look like Harball. Yeah I know, I do actually
have a pair of blue blockers, black blue blockers that I could look just
like. I'm gonna whistle, uh huh, looks just like chivvy. Hey.
Hopefully he'll be go the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills. No,
that's not gonna stop it, stop it. And then there's Doug Phelps,
whose team is going to be taking up two week by practically by the
Ravens had the forty nine Ers, is gonna have a couple of weeks song
two week by Raves will be in the super Bowl. No, I will
say, well your lips to God's ears, because potentially, right now,
if everything sort of lines upright, it could be the Bills and the Ravens
and the AFC championshould be I think the Ravens could be by the Browns there.
Browns are very under estimated under defensive. They got a healthy quarterback who's
been in the Super Bowl, knows what he's doing, and you know what,
that's a good thing. I didn't think of that. Wouldn't that be
something of Joe Flacco went back to the Super Bowl? If I would love
this. You put him in the same class as Brady and Manning because they're
the only two quarterbacks. But they can't. No, but I think you
actually now get fights on a second hold on you know how to spell?
Can you put him in the same class. Maybe you can't put him in
the same You can't put him in the same class. You have to now
give him consideration for the Hall of Fame. I'm not saying he's a Hall
of Famer Manning. Manning was in that Denver team was really good around him.
He didn't have any gaps. He shouldn't have been playing. No like
there was talking, well, there was talk that week of starting brock Oswall.
It sounds silly now, but that week I was talking of starting Oswilers
in the man because Manning his arm was shot that injury. I thought he
was gonna die. Oh, by the way, the week two weeks before,
if Gostkowski hits an extra point, we're talking about the Patriots possibly winning
a seventh Super Bowl. You know, people forget about that part too.
But did you remember when your wife asked you to pick up the grocery store?
Ye, olive oil? I forgot Pope. Oh, Happy New Year
to everybody. Just want to say, how was your New Year's Eve celebration?
I uh got your driving. I wasn't driving. I got a last
minute DJing gig and a very nice restaurant called the Lamplighter and Fetzner with great
food, great order. Her name is Lisa. It's a nice little place.
If you're in the grease area. Do you make out with the random
person at midnight? I did not, right, No, you know what.
I didn't even get a kiss. You didn't even get all the all
the couples. It was. It was mainly cos yeah, so waitress.
You know what. There were a couple of cute waitresses there before midnight though,
because I'm DJing in the other room and all of a sudden, oh,
I like, oh, you can wrap it up now. I guess
wave for everybody come back. I guarantee if I asked this question the gentleman
to my left in the Michigan Hat, we'll probably answer that this has happened
to him. Okay, I don't know why people write me all the time
now and say things like people really the name is Kevin Mure. No,
no, they're not, just like random listeners will send things to them.
But Danny did that just fished? Did you kiss someone you weren't attracted to
at all? And any New Year's New Year's Eve? On New Year's Eve
when the ball dropped two thousand and three? Yes, do it? God
damn Saladers. See now this is the weird part. He can remember the
year, but you can't remember the olive oil. I mean, I'm just
you know, I'm saying, who can remember? Maybe he didn't need olive
oil in two thousand and three? So what happened? You needed vance?
Selene? You were at Salangers two thousand and three, so too? And
three? I had two kids under the age of three. Yeah, that's
right. Yes, it's just you know why, and number three wasn't on
his way No, no, not for a long time after that. You
know why? Though, olive oil, al ol oil. Well what happened
was I from what I remember, it was just like we're both single,
and oh there was no way to kiss, and I guess like she kissed
me. I'm like, okay, sure, did you start making an hour
her or just just tell them about I guess fifteen seconds? Oh yeah,
all right, yeah bad. Have you ever ended up in a relationship you
kised someone at New Year's even then from that it becomes like relationship that never
happened. No, no, go, doug, no no, not a
stripper named Bambi Ginger never worked at New Year's even a cup club. No,
they're closed, Oh okay, yeah, well sure, yeah, because
most people are because they're our partying. Yeah we got private parties or whatever
they're doing. Oh yeah, popping out of cakes. Yeah, baby,
classic can't close the seven on Christmas Eve? Oh really? Yes? Seven
on Christmas? Yeah, people, A lot of bars are open. Yeah.
Uh I think Romeggs is open to close Romeggs and do Bennington. Oh
it's just a bar, yeah, very famous bar. Yeah, it was
packed with kode akers years ago, and it's well nothing is packed with code
ackers, not even yeah, never mind. I was gonna. I'll sit
on the that awful bne I was about to pop out of my mouth.
Uh, anybody, did you stay true? Did you make any resolutions for
twenty twenty three? Not this year twenty twenty three? Any resolutions, goals?
Anything you wanted for twenty twenty three that I kept? No, but
any did you make any? Oh? Yeah, I think you're losing weight.
I'm down eight pounds, big woofs. All right, so that's called
a big ship, right, it's called taco bell in the morning, it's
called Tuesday morning. Did you I think resolution was golf war? Yeah?
Did you? Yes? All right? Then there you go. Yeah.
You know what Danny did impress me? Danny wanted to read what was the
twelve books? And I did and he read twelve books this year. I
think that's impress all doctors. Susan, I saw your I saw Twilight series
one. Fish to Fish, Red Handler's in the Ceiling by Hugosa Moose.
Now is anybody doing dry January? I didn't know there was there was dry
September. Right, I've heard dry February. I've heard dry January. Who
I've never heard of dry September. I'm not that I've known it's no shaved
November to advocate pros cancer. Right, so you look at Harry like your
asshole, right, I don't get I don't get the reference. I don't
get either. But I did it once. I did grow a beard,
Yes, I did. A few years did yeah? Okay, yeah after
us okay, yeah, January yeah probably well. Dry January started in twenty
thirteen and it was pushed and a lot of I were talking about this.
We were talking, Yeah, we were talking about a co host of ours
was like trying to start trying out. You take men mood, he's trying
out initially, I think forty three hundred people. I don't know if this
was on, I would assume some website or something to the initial place.
It's like a last man standing kind of thing. I don't know because I
say I would do like I was with my buddies on New Year's Even.
We were talking about maybe doing damp January or dry January. It would whine
on weekends. Count if I'm not getting late, I'm whining all the time.
But the Niners in the air in the playoffs, so I know there's
gonna be a couple of Sundays I'll be drinking. Yeah, well, look
are not heavy but maybe no. But I think it's a good time to
maybe reset yourself. You realize, I mean I toxify. Yeah, people
get fatty liver and stuff, and that's not just from alcohol, but you
know, fatty liver. I always worry. I thought. I woke up
after New Year's Eve and I think one of my kids said that, dadjammer,
don't talk because I FaceTime and I was fine. But you think you're
faying? Well, I felt like I didn't really have a hangover anything.
What's that blacking light I look? I felt like I looked like yellow like
Danny's like did I? John was wor than when we went out to the
pub that night. Uh get longer, longer, longer, Yeah, longer,
okay, yeah maybe maybe maybe worse. I don't know. I don't
think so. But the equal, yeah, kind of equal. They say,
if you if you do this, medical professionals say you get better sleep.
I would admit I think that's true. Alcohol does disrupt your sleep.
There's no benefit from alcohol. They've let me tell you what, let me
tell you what it is. I look better, she looks. I never
went to bed with an ugly woman. I woke up with a whole bunch
of I think William Shakespeare used to say it was the poison that robs your
brain. I'm paraphrasing here. But he would never drink because it steals from
you. And Donald Trump has never Yeah, I saw that today. He's
never had a drink. Yeah. Well, his dad was a raging alcohol
so is his older brother. Oh maybe that's what I mean. Maybe that's
what we older brother told me, Johnny, don't do it. Don't drink.
I've never drunk, I've never smoked. That'd been I had offered the
best alcohol, the best cigarette. Don't do it. Man, more of
a meteorologist. I like its stormy. It gives your organs a break from
processing and breaking down alcohol, and metabolic health can see improvement, as well
as blood pressure, weight and insulin resistance. You're less likely to keep drinking.
Yeah, there are times where I drink, and I know that I
could. If I know I'm gonna uber, well I'm gonna uber. But
if I know it's just gonna be a I can feel it. I can't
stop. I get to a point where I can't stop. Oh, don't
kidding, Okay, that's after the first one. If I'm not drinking on
my I'm not drinking. You don't like, oh oh, this is so
refreshed. But I've felt like I've sat down at home and had a glass
of wine and that was it. You've never done that, No, never
just had a glass. No one, Yeah, I've done that. See
one one glass of alcohol. I've been told traditionally, if you're if you're,
if you're like you know a little, and if you need to calm
down, one glass is good. But if you have two glasses, then
your heart break goes back up, good, stress goes back up. Who
told you this, health teacher, Oh, mister Joe Henjen No, but
I can tell it certain. I think at one point, even on New
Year's Eve, somebody was leaving and they had half a beer. I go,
I'm finishing that. Those days are done. That's when you're young,
your alcohol abuse, wasting alcohol. I remember being in a homecoming party.
No, it was just sure, it was hardly touched. I was still
thirsty. So I kept drinking my junior year and I was the designated driver.
I didn't drink in high school, college and till my senior year,
and I remember a kid. They ran out of alcohol in like six o'clock
in the morning. He's going around to the empties and trying to pour each
empty into a cap drink the remainder of it, wanting to drink so bad.
I'm like, are you kidding me? Speaking of drinking? Did you
happen to see who passed away last week? The owner of Marges? Yes?
I dyeah, yeah, Fran. She's a great little place over there.
Sorry about hear that. I didn't know that. Fran. Yeah,
friend was her daughter has been running in I believe now, and Fran was
a fixture there. I would always see Fran at least to love the smallest
bathroom in Rochester. The smallest bathroom in Rochester. She always sat at the
stool. She would check Id's usually on Friday Saturday nights. I would go
there, you know where I went there often. There was a stretch of
time I went there a lot in the winter, which sounds weird because they
were open and uh, the person I was seeing at the time lived down
that way, and they had the inflatable instruments, and I might get drunk
and all of a sudden the guitar solo would break out take those overlved.
Yes, and they had a forty five juke box. Yeah, they had
the forty five juke box. That's right. Yeah, and yeah, that
is too bad that I saw a lot of people posting pictures with her.
Tommy Burnette had one, and then yeah, a bunch others. I think
a guy who probably had I don't know if he had a bad well,
he had a bad New Year's Eve. He's had a bad stretch towards the
end of twenty twenty three. That would be David Tepper. David Tepper's a
billionaire and he owns the Carolina owned now he owns them. It's st a
lot of celebrating over at the bank. But there was one person who really
did not respond well to the Panthers loss yesterday, and that would be this
person, the Panthers owner, David Tepper, throwing a drink on a Jags
fan from his booth. Right now, it's unknown exactly what prompted the action,
what the two said to each other. Maybe he was mad at the
Panthers offense. The person who took the video said the Jag security though did
ask them for that video. Now, the Panthers and Jags have not responded
to a request for comment at this time, and we're still waiting to see
if there's any you know, repercussions for there's a lot going on in that
video. There's a lot to unpack. What's going on with the there's Florida
newscasts like the coach Queen of right there, you got this guy about climb
into the owner's suite. She could be the we I love watching all of
this unfold. I kind of wish he'd gotten into the suite. I want
to from that's what I want to see, a fight breakout. Go to
YouTube and type in fighting. You'll get all you want. It'd be cool
if like they brought in the weather guy to go to the telestrator and draw
exactly what's happening during this video. Like Madden used to, all right,
so here's the here's a problem. Here's what you're gonna see. You're gonna
see the own gonna upset with this guy over here. He's gonna try to
climb into the booth and then he's gonna throw his drink out. Your trump
is better than you're right mad, It's terrible. Yeah, you gotta work
on that. I can't do Madden tepper. Try it though, Go ahead,
I've tried it. Okay, you use enough for walk You know,
Bill, it's crazy this owner throws a drink on someone and you're like,
wow, what what's the problem? Man? You just first that dandy.
What do you think is gonna happen? Because look, this isn't as bad
as the previous owner, Jerry Richardson, and the sexual harassment complaints that were
against him. There were a lot of and I think that's part of the
reason Hawn of sexual harassment claims to like, let's put this. I mean
you just fired. Okay, So you just saw Dan Schneider finally get you
know, his come up and so and he sold the team. But at
the same time, like he's not gonna have any repercussions. He made billions
of dollars off that sale. Right with temper, Uh, he'll probably be
fine. He might be like suspended from going to games for maybe a month,
but I don't think they're gonna rip the team out of his hand.
He's been involved in the NFL a while, like he was he and Jimmy
Haslm. Jimmy Haslm is a son of a puff too. He used to
rip people off at the Flying Jay big time. He still owns the Browns.
Okay, both of them worked under the Rooney family. They were together,
they were they're co owners like minority owners. And the story in Pittsburgh,
I guess is that even though the Rooneys are very likable, they're very
hands on, but you never hear about it, and Temper wants to be
and Haslam want to be his hands on is the Roonies, except they let
the world know about it. And Tepper is just a nut. He fired
Frank Reich. He insisted they draft Bryce Young, he trade they traded up.
I mean, the guy's made bad decision. I thought it was I
thought I had read differently. I thought part of the reason Frank Reich and
I believe tomorrow is the comeback the comeback game with Frank Reich as the quarter
thirty years thirty years ago. So Frank Reich. The game to every Buffalo
Bills fan was that nobody, nobody left the building and so many people were
climbing over. They had to unlock the doors and let everybody. Everybody I've
ever talked to never laughed by the way, that game was blacked out,
So we know it wasn't even sold out right, so uh. But Frank
Reich, from what I understood, was he wanted Bryce Young, Tepper wanted
c J. Drowd And because c J. Stroud was doing so well and
Bryce Young was not, he that's part of the reason Frank got required.
Maybe they thought I read that. I thought I read the other way around.
But maybe you're right. You're right, and it went a little crazy.
It seemed to make more sense if it was that he wanted c J.
Stroud and Frank didn't. But uh, the other the other thing that
I think was was it was it Bryce Young just threw like what was his
fourth interception of the game, and that's when that and they scored no point
dead last in the NFL. And then his fan stands up and starts off.
And you gotta think, as a leader you've got to be you just
can't act the leader you have to all the time. That's a bad leader.
That's just a bad leader. But at the same time, fans can
get a little crude. And I did appreciate it. I did. I
did appreciate the video of the Buffalo Bills guy jumping on the table in gasoline.
The fire was on table, the table on fire, and then he
was on fire and didn't bring the table and two more people jumped down.
That's one thing I hope when the new stadium goes away is the table stuff.
It'll never go away. They're gonna break it in, They're gonna handle
it so silly. It's so they're even selling right now a Galisano to benefit
Galas Children's Hotel. The bill's sweatshirt and on the back it's all drawn by
kids. Dave, Yeah, Dave Portnoy from barstool had done a video on
it and he was but it's all all the things on the on the sweatshirt
are drawn by kids, and on the back it's a table breaking So I
mean it's just become part of the Lord fan portal. I mean they like,
it's your mom. She's a stunt double bag in the day for the
Lone Ranger. Did you ever ever drink thrown on you? Tepper threw a
drink at a fan. Do you ever have a drink thrown on you or
ever throw a drink at someone? I mean it's a bartender, you were
just get sticking fuck off. That would be awful, actually, you think
so? Local bartender dogs to it. I saw it coming and knocked it
in something, or throw it at you, but you can't remember you kembe
tumbled her. No no, no, in the bar, out of the
bar. Now. I have had a drink thrown at me. Wow,
okay more than once. And I have thrown a drink at somebody. Yeah.
Yeah, that's like it's on. Once they had there's a fight breaking.
Next, wife throw her pocket booker walling at me. But never a
drink. Never a drink though, that's you know why, because you're healthier.
I was thinking it wasn't New Year's Eve. But when I was in
the blue room managing, I was outside making out with this woman and this
guy came out and tried to pull her away. Hey, what's the problem,
And he goes, this is my wife. Oh that's a good reason.
He heard some chips chips. It was like twenty years ago. Yea
good. So what what does happen? David Tepper? I don't think much
of anything, not really much. Let's put it this way. They it
took forever to get Daniel Schnyder out. The other thing, too, is
that these owners are starting to dig dirt on each other, and I don't
know if you heard the John Gruden story yet, But John Gruden, they
offered Gruden a deal and he said, no, he did, and he's
going to burn the NFL to the ground and expose everybody. Well, he
says, so we said yeah, But you know what, I can totally
see John Gruden doing that. So I don't think anything's going to happen in
this. David Tepper throws the drink. He but take me through the Panthers
and where they are the they traded the number one pick for this. They
don't have a number one pick next year, even though they would have him
because they're the dead last in the NFL, so they don't get that.
It got traded away already Chicago has that pick. So where will they land?
Will they be in the top ten? I don't know if they have
a first round pick next year. That's just it. So now that's like
the worst place to be here. Last she spent all this the team,
Yeah, they're worse than they're Billy their worst show to the games, then
they're worst. Like there's a guy named Bob Omen. He owns the Newark
Pilots, he owns the Old Omen Theater. Lions and he owned U Saint
Lawrence Homes in the Rally in Charlotte area. He's got season tickets to the
Panthers still to this day. And he lives in Lions and he sends to
me text every day about how much he hates David Tepper and all the news
that comes out about this guy. Oh, he's not well liked at all
by anybody. But that being said, well, it's a billionaire bully.
I mean, like, yeah, when you're that rich, there's really not
much anybody can do to you, sort of murdering somebody, and even then
you might be able to get away with. These guys have so much money
that they could put this on, like like look at Snydery Washington, it
put he stole money from owners and finally like he just like he said,
all right, I'll get out. Yeah yeah, I mean they did so
many they had so much investigations on him for all the stupid things that happened
to w Washington. It's gonna take a lot to get tep rout. But
I'll tell you what, this job, this Carolina Panthers job, is actually
worse than what the Bill's job was during the drought. When they're hiring guys
like Chan Gaily. All Right, we will take a moment when we come
back. The codeccenter making national news after that, the tragedy that happened out
there. They've released the names of the people who have perished in the fire
in the Midspecie. Yeah. But uh, and there was the EMT like
his hospitalized too enough you heard about this? No, what an uber ride?
Right? No, I'm almost sure yes it was. The driver was
well, the driver rented an Uber. Sorry, I'm sorry. The driver
of the car he went to the hospital. The other two passed, but
he was ubering them. Oh oh okay, all right, Well that okay,
I didn't know that. Well, I'm going to talk to We're going
to talk to Jeffrey Rogers. Jeffrey Rodgers is a twenty one Do you know
Jeffrey. I don't know him personally. I've followed his work through this.
He's been covering it. He has done a phenomenal job with this. Jeffrey
is twenty one years old. He goes to MCC. He's been doing his
own GSL news for the past decade. Uh. And he does a really,
really great job. And I think he was you know how like,
I don't think any more being first matters. I think being accurate matters,
yea, And I think if you do a better you know, like everybody
getting there all the information. It used to be a thing in radio,
like you know, if some artists was coming around, Hey, you better
get him first, well first, But my thing would always be, yeah,
if you've just did the better interview, right, if you just did
a better interview. But this kid was first with a lot of the information
of this one. I mean, he was there first. And I'll read
the tweet I woke up to by clearly by accident, and I go,
who is this? And then I went and I called him today, and
he's gonna come on and we'll talk to him next. But first, Iron

like we've all heard about what's happening at the codeccenter, and for people
who may not be in the area, I will play you Rochester Chief of
Police David Smith talking about what went on after a New Year's Eve concert with
Moe, who is a jam band at the CODEC Center in Rochester. An
eastbound Ford expedition struck a Mitsubishi Outlander that was exiting a nearby parking lot.
The force of the collision caused the two vehicles to go through a group of
pedestrians that were in the crosswalk and then into two other vehicles. Three pedestrians
were struck and transported a strong hospital. One of them is currently in life
threatening condition and the other two are in non life threatening condition. Once the
fire was extinguished, first responders located at least a dozen gas lean canisters in
and around the striking vehicle. Based on the danger level is so shadd with
ease. The Rochester Police Department Bomb Squad and the Joint Ourson Task Force responded
to the scene. So this morning, at like six to eleven, I
don't know, I woke up. I think my own alarm was going to
go off at six thirty. I just woke up and I reached for my
phone and I accidentally hit an opened X And the first tweet I read is
SWAT teams and multiple police agencies searched Wood Spring Suite's hotel in Greece, where
the driver of the black Ford Expedition that crash causing a fire on West Ridge
Road was possibly staying. Police also confirmed the black Ford Expedition is a rental
from Syracuse. The hotel is located just two buildings over from a Bjay's gas
station. Here's a picture of the SWAT team and police inside the hotel.
It was by Jeffrey Rodgers. I go, who is Jeffrey Rodgers and says
GSL News. I go, I have no idea what this is. And
then so I go and I look, and I go, oh my god,
it's his twenty one year old kid from the city. He just wants
to be a journalist and he's been out there hustling. But somebody wants to
be an actual journal this kid is but he wants to be an independent.
Well I don't know if he wants to be independent. I shouldn't say that
he is independent at the moment. And he's been on top of this and
has done really really well. That's how Donard Deani got started real supposedly,
like she just started showing up at Channel ten and they would send her out
to stories when she's like sixteen seventeen years old. Let me see, We're
gonna try to call a walk in the beat, right, Jeffrey Rogers,
Now something like that, Yeah, street, Jeffrey, Jeffrey. Hello,
Hello, you were breaking up a little bit there, Jeffrey. It is
the Billifive podcast. How are you. I'm doing good. I'm doing good.
So I'm seeing all kinds of things on Twitter before we get to maybe
some more of the facts on the story that the horror outside the Codec Center
on New Year's Eve. But I did see where people were saying to me,
not saying to me, but putting up on Twitter. Jeffrey was the
first to report the FBI was involved. Jeffrey was the first to tell us
Swatt was at the hotel. Jeffrey was the first and only that talked to
witnesses and showed us video. Jeffery, how did you even find out what
was going on? You you monitor the scanner? Well, yeah, I
listened to you know, the radios, uh, and I monitor pretty much
nearly twenty five hours a day what's going on here in the city of Rochester.
But I was actually wasn't far from that scene. I was actually at
a motor vehicle accident when this call came in. I wasn't far from it,
and that's how I was able to catch the explosion and the vehicles still
enflamed at that time. Oh my, yeah, you I mean this is
uh, it's really impressive work with what you've done. I would ask you
if you were already out on New Year's Eve at a car accident that you
were you were covering. Do you do you get any free time at all?
Well, you know, to in the winter time, it's it's a
little more slower. The summertime, very summertime, it's very tight. Uh.
I'm back back nearly probably four hours to sleep a day in the summertime.
Now, since this story has something out, I've been busy NonStop,
so this story on this on top of that, there's shootings, press conferences,
and other things are the city, so that kind of builds up.
So last night I was up to probably eight am in the morning, so
I took a little little took a little nap uh in between of all these
stories that were coming in. So right now it's a little tight for me.
Tight schedule, uh, and then being on platforms like this, it
kind of makes the schedule tighter. But I still somehow make it happen.
I still get the stories out there to the people, and get the stories
out there to the people that they deserve. All right, But Jeffrey,
do you have a girlfriend or anything? You don't have time for that?
Yeah? I do have a girlfriend. See see rise with me. Sometimes
to some of these scenes, I have her sit in the seat because sometimes
she may be a little nervous, but she's kind of used of all this
crazy stuff that I do. I mean, she seeds me jump out out
of nowhere and go to these calls, so she's used to it. She's
sometimes people like you need to be safe out there, or I'm worried about
you, But most times she loves what I do. So I'm furious,
what's the motiv what's the motivating factor for you? Why? Why do you?
Why do you want to go chase this down? Because some of the
stuff that you're covering it is dangerous and a lot of the stories like over
the Summer where he had a lot of the Kia Boys stories Ryan and a
lot of shootings and things, and you're showing up at these scenes. Yeah,
so you know it, it becomes kind of dangerous. That becomes I've
becomes dangerous. I've been shot at three times in the last two years doing
this. The last two three years i've been doing this, I've been shot
at h and doing these these stories, these dangerous stories. Not only are
they dangerous, but I'm actually on the ground. I'm there most sometimes when
the shooters leaving the scene or had trust me left the scene, Well,
how the hell do you find out? How are you finding it out before
the police? Well? Sometimes I'm just in the right place at the right
time. But not only that, but I look at the data, right
so and these I look at the data on where the crime occurring the most.
Not only that, but I take a deeper look into gain activity here,
and I know a lot of people in the community who is going to
talk to me, so a lot of drug dealers and high active gang members
they also talk to me as well. It's probably because I'm from the city
or if they watch me grow up. But I know a lot of more
information, uh than the average news station. So if I know there's gang
uh, gang disagreements or gang beef what they call it, I'm looking into
it, and possibly I may know there may be a shooting that might be
occurring or not. Well, Okay, a lot of things are running into
my head before we even talk about the code accenter, which is why why
you're on. But uh, you almost sound like you care about the community
tremendously, And I assume then if you know some of these people and stuff,
they trust you, you could almost be one. You could I almost
feel like you could go in and show the police and patterns. Maybe they
don't know, and maybe they do. And I certainly don't want to be
insulting to the police by saying that, but I wonder if like you become
almost a liaison for them. And on the other hand. Dude, you
could be mayor later on and maybe bring peace to the streets if you were
able to kind of broke or some kind of stuff if you knew, Yeah,
run for mayor, close down all the bad places, you know,
Like, all right, I got elected. That's it. Pack your bags.
But I'm coming for you. You know what I'm saying. I mean,
boy, there's a lot of possibilities for you. You sound like a
bright young man who's uh ambitious. Yeah, you know it's Running from mayor
has been something I've been looking into, but right now, I don't know.
Politics are very dangerous, and not as dangerous as you being shot at.
I don't think three times hell, I'm out here in Fairport. What
are you talking about? Yeah, you know, running from mayor here in
the city of Rochester, I don't think people of high power here may not
allow me to run for mayor. Or if I do run for mayor,
they may not allow me to win. And I just how I think it
is the party that mainly meant wins here in Rochester, New York is the
Democrats. And I don't think I would see myself running as a Democrat and
not trying to think politics or anything or parties involved. But I don't see
myself running as a Democrat. But I do see a lot of things that
in the city that the city should recognize. I know where this crime is
going to occur. I know what needs to be done, and talking to
murderers. I talk to murderers and high profile GAG members who have trap houses
and who has in carry duns, and they're comfortable with talking to me.
I'm not gonna lie this summer I've had. I've been to a cookout with
a few drug dealers who've told me information that no one else has. And
that's how I'm able to analyze the crime. Not only analyze the crime,
but sometimes I may know who the suspect is. All right. But but
Jeffrey, when you do that, do you ever feel like you're putting by
putting that information out? Does that make you a target to them? Sometimes
it definitely does. But if you are real journalists and you want to get
dirty, and you want to get on the ground, and you're doing whatever
possible to get a story, but not only to get a story, but
to know what's really happening, You're going to do whatever is possible to get
it. Done. Yeah, all right, well take me to the code
accent or I have many other questions, but let's get to that. Because
you were one of the first on the scene. And then I read a
tweet that I woke up to this morning that I went, well, I
know of Jeffrey. I think I've seen you maybe on our news or something
when you were a little bit younger. And when I read the tweet and
went, GSL boy, I don't know that, but it was so in
depth. It had the pictures. I go, this is great, but
you're a one man band. You have nobody else working with you. It's
just you. Yeah, it's just me working and I do this all alone.
Maybe in the summer I might have to hire like a security guard,
an armed security guard, because I've been shot at several times, and he
sometimes will hold the camera for me, but most of assist me by myself
working out there day night. Sometimes I wake up out of my feet to
go to house fire, shooting or whatever comes in. I even took it
a farther to even go to Buffalo when they had the mass shooting. I
was one of the first reports there, so I drove there soon as I
got the call I was there within the first couple of hours on seeing in
Buffalo on the grounds and had the mass shooting. Wow, Jeffrey, are
there a lot of people in the community. They have your number, I
would guess, and anything that pops up, they just text you this is
happening now, or try to point you in the right direction of something going
in that's going to happen. Yeah. Yeah, So JSO News does have
a hotline and it goes off day in and day out, probably twenty four
hours a day. I'm getting texted in, phone calls, and it gets
overwhelmed because sometimes I'm trying to deal myself with my family and my friends,
and it is it's a little overwhelming. But I listen, I love my
job. I love what I do, and people ask me all the time,
you know, how can I handle it? How do I handle it?
I don't. I don't know how I do what I do. Now,
you say, it's your job. How do you get how do you
get paid for this? Do you have subscriptions or uh? You got it?
Yeah? Yeah, you can sign up right on the website. Right
sign up on your website. Yes, there's subscriptions available on the website.
There's merchandise that people can purchase, but also people donate. So when people
when I get a number of views, a large amount of views, people
donate the support Because I don't have a stable check coming in from this job.
So there's been times where I don't make anything for weeks from doing this,
and I may have that big story where people may donate, or they
may pay me for video, or I may get a sponsor or something like
that as hey, hey, we're gonna lend you money to do this,
or et cetera. And that's just toptically how it does. I don't really
make any big, large amount of money for this, and that's how people
all the time. Do you want a lot of money, would you want
to work for somebody? Or do you like being the independent guy? Because
as an independent and and again news should be unbiased, but you get to
kind of say what you want freedom of speech. Yeah, I'm glad,
you know there's I've had received two job opportunities in the media, but you
know, I thought about working for somebody else. Maybe one day I might
actually get that big break for a news day. I'm not gonna say who
I want to work for, but if they ever contact me, I'm taking
that job. I'm after be taking that death job. Or I'm not gonna
say the company or the station's name, but if they offer me a job,
I'm taking it. I'm not gonna lie, but it will be.
I'm never going to continue to keep the GSO news platform informed and up and
going. Yeah, because I think that's a smart thing. I like it.
So what I asked, yes, go ahead. I'm sorry. I
asked the questions that people are are scared to, are scared to ask uncomble
questions, and and that's that's why I'm here. The other day, I
was at a press conference and I was asking uncomfortable questions and and they got
mad at me and routing. You know, these are things that need to
be asked in this community. What were you asking and what was it about?
We still haven't, We still haven't. People have to look at it.
It's it's up there. I don't want to go into too many details
about it, but it's up there. Okay, it's up there. Probably
happen again. I always get yelled at a press conferences from people when I
asked uncomberable questions. Well, you're young, you're young. You shouldn't be,
you know, disrupting like this. That's what they're probably thinking. All
right, So tell me what will you find out about this? You're one
of the first ones to report that the SWAT team was involved, that there
was actually the FBI involved. Excuse me, because there were several gas cans
that this guy had stayed at the hotel in Greece, the wood Spring Suites,
which is near Bjay's gas station. He had rented the car from Syracuse
drove up. We still don't know any motive. There's been no suicide letter
or journal or anything that's been found as of yet. Would that be fair
to say or is that correct? I mean, yeah, there was rumors
out there and saying that they were notes and journals found that was not found
at the hotel. Actually, at the hotel, the police officers didn't men
walk out with evidence back Specifically you'll see in a lot of kids, but
not in this case. You didn't see any evidence coming out of that hotel
room at all, and they shut down the entire hallway. But that's where
you see the picture that I posted is where you see the slot team or
along with rosters, the police officers and other agencies in tactical gear going into
this hotel room. But he stayed here for a couple of days, not
lovely, a couple of days. But he worked at multiple stores, purchasing
gas cans and being garbage bins and clothing binds. And it appears to be
after the crash he filled them up with gas. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa whoa. After the crash he filled them up with gas. I
mean before the crash. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, So hang
on, So this guy was in town for a couple of days. A
couple of days he was here, he left. I don't have I can't
remember the day at top of my head. But he left the Eyracuse,
came to Rochester, rented a hotel room where he twenty seventh. Actually,
then I think about it, he may have been here, you're right.
I think he rented the car in the twenty seventh. I thought I saw,
so that would be a yeah, A couple of days came to right,
So this was all a very calculated move for him. Was he a
disgruntled MO fan? I wonder? I know, Yeah, that's just the
thing. I can't confirm, you know, it does it is very concerning
of how many gas cans and bens and garbage bins that he purchased here.
And the FBI actually just a couple of hours actually did another search warrant on
his bank accounts and emails. Okay, so those are two two things that
just came out of about hours away. I just discovered that they got a
firch ware on his bank account and emails. He searched the home and we're
still waiting for details on that as well. Yeah, his home is in
Syracuse, right, is that what we or was the car just rented in
Syracuse, So it appears to be he lives in serious Okay, that's what
I thought. And then tell me about the the So the crash happens,
he's driving at a high rate of speed. We don't believe these people were
targeted. This was just random. Well, witnesses tell me that this vehicle
set up and before police released that information, I was talking witnesses and witnesses
were on the phone with me saying that this vehicle, you can hear the
vehicle rubbing its engine, uh, and appears to be on fire before it
even crashed. So he may have lit a switch or match inside the car
before crashing. Yeah, but if he's revving his engine did what I'm wondering
where these people targeted? The two people who have passed away and then the
driver himself have now passed away. Uh, possibly because there was not a
photo of people who have been injured has been updated to nine. And you
can hear over the police scanner the police officer screaming and yelling. The witnesses
said that he ran over multiple people, striking two vehicles. Yeah wow,
okay, yeah, and then multiple people, So he ran over multiple people
on the sidewalk in the on the street. There was an event happened,
Yeah the mall show. Yep. Have you ever heard of the band?
Had you ever heard of the band mo prior to this, Jeffrey, No,
I hadn't, but now that I definitely know of them, now,
yes you do. But the vehicle actually had a high rid of speed,
uh, running over multile people who were nearly hitting a police officer as well.
So a police officer actually almost got hit directing traffic. Okay, yeah,
so this guy was was calculated and we have no idea why and usually
there's a tell somewhere, but nothing so far. What what makes you think
that, why do you so you just happened to be at another story,
but you really got some in depth stuff. What is this? Uh like
a dog with a bone getting all these scoops? Yeah, you know,
I think the people deserve the right information, but not only the right information.
I'm gonna I have a lot to prove here. You know. I'm
I'm I'm a I'm a young journalist getting into the game. I have a
lot to prove here, and I feel I feel like, definitely have a
lot to prove. But I have to prove people that they're able to trust
me. And and as I'm releasing this reliable information first actually first, I
released the information about the FBI for about the hotel first, and so I
want people to know that they can trust my platform so I can continue to
provide news here in the community. Jeffery, let me ask you did have
you talked to the family members of the of the perpetrator at all? Have
you had a chance to talk to them? Are they speaking at all?
I think the FBI spoke to them about I have not spoke to only witnesses
I've spoke to I have spoked to the two games. I haven't spoke to
the family members of the two people who did pass that. I spoke to
other victims who were nearly hit or hit from that vehicle. Yeah, man,
that had to be one chaotic, scary scene when he got down there.
Honestly, it wasn't really scary, but that's those type of flames.
Now, I've been in multiple accidents. I've probably been to one hundred car
accidents in my career here, and I've never seen or smell goat coming from
a vehicle. I guess I smell gas, but the flames, those flames
were different. Those flames are higher than usual, larger than usual, and
then when you see how many people were injured, it gets concerning. So
that kind of made me nervous on what type of accident is it? Yeah,
you, Doude is the f Obviously, the FBI is going to call
this a domestic terrorist attack, but we don't think it's connected to anything other
than maybe one guy with a thorn in his side, so to speak.
Yeah, it looks like he's the only one who knows about this incident and
planned this incident. But we'll have to wait for local law enforcement and law
enforcement agencies in general to to try to release this information, but I'm going
to continue to do my private investigation to see what more can I uncover.
Yeah, what what do you know about the victims? So? Were they
that they were in an uber? Were they being ubered from the the two
people that passed away, they were in the back of an uber hearing that
they were at the back of the uber when the Blackboar expedition stretch the vehicle
that they were sitting in. Yeah, and then we know the names of
those people. You have though that, and I know that you had released
I know you tweeted out statements from the family. I think one of the
people, one of the man's name was Joshua. Yeah, it's gonna be
Justine and Joshua. Yeah, Justine and Joshua. Yeah. Terrible, right,
because I mean it's just you know, you're going to a mo concert
mo Is, you know, for people who may not be as familiar their
jam band, They're Fish, They're the Grateful Dead. It's it's a vibe
of peace and kindness. It's really what it is at these shows, right,
Doug. I mean that's kind of the Yeah, oh that Ben absolutely,
Yeah, And I think that I think that their fans are called morons,
like I think the I think they are. I think they Yeah,
but it's a moron m o E. And then if you look there's fan
pages I believe on Facebook which is m o E period R O N S.
Here's the hard part. Like you're going to this show, you do
everything right, you order an uber to make sure you and yeah, yeah,
this is what happens. Yes, yes, just unreal. It is
unreal and it's very scary, and it's very sad and one a way to
begin the year. But Jeffrey, I I don't like to say this on
this city in the heels of what we're saying, but great job. Yeah
the coverage of this You've done really really impressive work. And I would love
to have you on on a regular basis to hear what's going on. Get
the Jeffrey Report. Yes, can we get the Jeffrey Report. Jeffrey Report.
Yeah, the last few years has been violent, but this is not
the first time where I'm on scenes. First we had a mass shooting in
twenty twenty. I think we have most pass shootings. First year on the
scene. Not only first there on the scene, but I uncover a lot
of scenes here than the average journalist. And that's because I just have a
lot to prove, and I have a lot I got to proof you wrong.
Well, i'll tell you what you've got. I tell you what you've
got that. But what a lot of the people who would be doing this
and getting a paycheck is you're hungry. Yeah, you're hungry. You have
a motor and they're and they're not as hungry anymore. Do they have other
things in life that probably distract them or whatever, and are going to be

let's just listening to you guys talk about and Jeering getting a fight with
that biker gang in la I don't think it was a biker gang. By
the way, you're describing everything as shaws morelink's beating up on a bunch of
Shriners, Saidia and be shir to like and subscribe to you to see looks
like did you see the bikes? Yeah, he got a lot of national
attention day. At one point he does get kind of dragged across the street,
but it seems like they bumped him. He released his statement and I
guess there's these roaming gangs. But they're not on even what I would call
a traditional dirt bike. They look like somebody just went into a fabrication shop,
bent a couple of pipes through some tires and a shitty motor on it,
and then riding around in a gang. Yeah, but there is one
guy had a shirt that said like it had the l A highway sign.
Is it five o six or something on there? So I I don't know.
They called probably uh so I have to have the black widows a filo
beto in a which way. But look, I'm going when I when I
hear the headline, I knew guys in the Hell's Angels. I used to
Uh. I would see these guys. Was at a particular bar and one
of the guy's wives worked there. She was a bartender. He would show
up, his knuckles would be all bloody because he had just taken can care
of some business, you know what I mean. And I went, there's
no way Iron Zerring, who's fifty nine years old is gonna handle I don't
give a ship. If the guy sixty five, he's in the gang,
he's probably gonna kick the shit out of him. Uh. And by the
way, we said that Gabrielle. What's her her tearists today as we tape.

So did Tempest Bloods from the Cosby Show? Oh really Tempest And it
didn't last very long. So some of them don't They are hard to do.
Oh yeah, they're hard to do because you got a lot of people
were and Jay Moore used to make fun of Rickey Lake outside Life Sweet Judge
p bought this show. Ricky was like a kind of groundbreaking though when you
think about it. She was young doing a talk show that really appealed to
young and then Jerry just came in and swept it all up. Ricky Lake
was on for a while. Yeah she was, Yes, I mean she
did well. That was a Brickey Oprah yeah, Ellen de Generes. Yeah,
who else said? Donahue was kind of the guy to Phil down Hue
filled down Hugh. Mike Douglas was like Mike Douglas show. I remember the
Douglas that was more of a variety show. Do you remember that he had
kiss on one time Tiger Woods three years old? Yes, remember that show?
You know, I've seen the clip. But the Ricky Lake Show really
kind of like set the stage for Jerry Springer. I think you're right.
It was more sophisticated. Forgot. He might have been the guy for everybody.
They had that one fight and that's what spun. Yeah. Oh,
and then there was the other guy that had smoked a lot, Oh,
Martin down Is it Morton Robert Morton? It was Morton Downey Jr. With
the teeth? Yes, yeah, looking up, I can't remember w O
R. Out of New York. It was a new faced show. And
he used to yell at people and get their face and he he was another
one that looked like like he would get up on people's faces like, buddy,
you look like you're a Yeah. Morton Downey Jr. They had him
in Russell Mania five and because Vince McMahon was obsessed anything that came out of
New York. He would put on his on rustling and so they had him
on Piper's pit. They brought back Rowdy Pipe Roddy Roddy Piper. Huh,
and he used a fire extinguisher and he tried to light up a cigarette and
like started lighting him on with the fire extinguisher. It was hysterical. Uh.
There is a new game show that premieeres as we tape this, but
will be available on Hulu tomorrow. It is hosted by Rob Low and it
is called The Floor Our Generation at Dick Clark. Yeah it's true, Well,
it's true. The most epic game show ever created. This is The
Floor. Eighty one players. We'll go head to head in a trivia duel
seal horror movies. The winner got at it takes control of their opponent's floor.
Bring it on. I'm gonna win some money and fifty dollars. So
the more Flora Cocker, the more of a target to you become. The
biggest territory is on the line. I'm in danger. You do not know
a lot about tools. Let's duel begin flyers French air blower, staying cool
under pressure was a big part of this game. Don't get in her way
Jerry McGuire. Yes, y sisters, you can run, whoa, but
you can't hide. Are you ready? Yeah? Are you ready? Absolutely?
Let's light it up. Rob lohos the floor to Rob Lowe's been on
every TV show from serious to sitcom. He was the one, wasn't him
playing Baby Moses in The Ten Commandments? I don't know if you knew that.
I didn't know, did he really? He was a baby in the
No, it sounds believable. He was in The Outsiders, but remember there
was a short lived show called The Grinder where he's he I know it sounds
really funny. But Rob was a lawyer. No, he was an actor
who played a lawyer, and Fred Savage was his brother who was really a
lawyer, and they their father was a lawyer. There was a family law
practice and Rob can't find work, so he comes to act as a lawyer.
It was one of these shitty sitcons, but Rob was pretty good and
everything he did he was you know what, I love him in Tommy Boy.
Oh yeah, fucking loved him. And well there's a funny story about
like that was sort of his comeback, by the way, yeah, because
he's right after the videos. He had in trouble for a while and then
he sobered up. Then he comes to Tommy Boyd. He tells David Spade
they're going to a bark. Don't tell Farley. Yeah, So they go
out to the bar and the next and Farley finds out about Chris Hey,
so ered you and Robert Low Yeah, Rob Low round last night weren't your
spade? Don't tell anybody? And he's like breaking spades balls throughout the movie
where they try to film, they get into an argument and I'm like laughing
about it, and then well, I think there was a while from what
I read, it got ugly to the point where they weren't talking for a
little bit on the set. Oh, I didn't know. It went back
like Farley was very hurt that he wasn't included in this because RABO, don't
tell Farley. I wonder why don't tell Farley. I don't know that there
is consumption of well maybe because like he wanted to keep a low profile,
and Farley is one of these guys who he said, every time you would
fake a heart attack to try to get chicks to talk to him. That
was the story. I don't know. He's got a following. What Doug,
did you try? What's heart attack? No? No, I'm gonna
call Tommy Mack. He is a Rochesterian who is going to be honest.
Does Atkins commercials? Yeah, yeah he does, mister Mac. It's it's
the Billified podcast. How are you? I'm doing fine? Bill? How
are you? I am doing very well. I have uh where you know,
we we do video with this podcast, and we have a nice little
picture of you up on the video, uh where you have a glass and
wine. It's a very cool black and white shot. Where did you get
that done? It's on your Facebook. I stole it so that that is
actually from Are you familiar with Genesee Country Village and Museum? Yes? Yeah,
so so my wife and I went to their fundraiser a few years back
and took my uh what I'd like to refer to as my bearded kelly some
ballast picture and uh and and and made it in black and white. So
it actually you can one who loves your baby? He looks Yes, it
was who loves your baby? But let me tell you he looks like you
know how they say like the coolest man in the world or the what is
it, the most interesting man in the world. He's got a glass of
wine, a cigar. It's a black and white shot. It's good.
He's got shades on. It looks good. It looks good. All right,
tell me about this and it's game show the floor, and I guess
we should should start with how did you find out to even audition? So
I had decided that I was going to go ahead and try to see what's
out there and you know, stick my foot in like the acting game,
if you will. So I signed up for a few casting networks online and
one of them was just for a game show, and it was a no
name game show, but all it said was new game show and it's on
a major network. It still wasn't picked up, but all expenses paid and
you just got to come out and you have to have a bail of passport
and that was it. There was no audition, there was no like you
didn't have to do like Jeopardy. They put you through a lot of quizz
I've talked to guys who've been on the show, and you have to do
a lot of almost online stuff before they even get you in and then I
think you have to sit with the and then you get on the show.
So this is just we're casting the net, we're taking anybody. Well,
well, basically what it came down to is that part came afterwards. Okay,
So basically it's just an online application. You send it in. You
send in like a face shot and everything. That was one of the pictures
that you have up on the screen. That's actually what I what I submitted.
And I was out on an assignment for work and I get this random
text from a number from California, and obviously I automatically think that it's going
to be a you know, telemarketer or whatever. But they called and I
talked to the person directly, and they said, do you have time tonight
to go through a little interview and in a little audition? And I said
sure, And later on that evening, I pulled up my computer and I
was playing this game that had no name at that time, and it was
intense. Really Yes, well what kind of It's a trivia game, right
where you go head to head with another person. Yes, so there's eighty
one contestants. I was number forty out of eighty, and we're on the
floor, and what happens is the first initial challenge is picked by what they
refer to on the show as the randomizer, and those two will go up
and you have a screen in front of you and the other person has a
screen in front of them, and whatever the category is that's being challenged.
At that point, you go back and forth. You have forty five seconds,
and whoever doesn't have any time less loses. Okay, it's really it's
really intense. It's trivia, but it's more trivia based on pictures and worse,
some of the some of the categories were kind of like filling the blank.
Gotcha? Gotcha? So I know you can't probably say a lot about
the show. Sure he can. Well, let me ask you this.
Did your wife ask you if Rob Lowe is as pretty in person as he
is on TV. Let's just put it this way, not only my wife,
but every other female. That's how he keeps getting work to women.
But I will play it. Yeah, I am a hetero sexual male and
he is a beautiful, beautiful man. He's got the most piercing blue eyes
you have ever seen in your wife. Wow. Wow. So I've been
saying, if they said to you you could win this, but you got
to turn gay for five minutes, for forty five seconds. I'm kidding.
I'm kidding that I can't take my clothes off in forty five He uh,
that's funny because what is Rob sixty? Now? Yeah, he's in the
sixties. Yeah, yeah, I think he just turned sixty. God's almost
fire. Yeah he was. He was doing it all and we were just
listing all the shows. And I thought he was sort of ostracized after the
video with him and an underage girl who he didn't know at the time,
but and he came out and owned it. I'm pretty sure. But it
was Tommy all around. Yeah, it was. I thought it was Tommy
Boy was sort of his comeback after that, and it wasn't Bo Derek,
who was his uh wife wife and that. Yeah, absolutely funny. Brothers.
Don't shake him, Brothers. He was also in the first Waynes World
movie too. Yeah, yeah, he was. He was the sons of
cameos just looking him up. He's probably got one hundred if not more.
It was almost like he was just taking you go from sant Elmo's Fire to
Wayne's World or you know, Austin Powers, whatever you're doing it's just it's
it's it's nutty, isn't it. So now he's doing this game show,
and boy, they're putting a lot behind this Foxes and I've seen a bunch
of promos for it, and I know it'll be rerun Wednesday, January third
on Hulu. Are you having a watch party? Uh? Well, actually
I'm I say. I became a friend with quite a few of the contestants
and they're from all over the country. Some of them actually were from uh
from Ireland. They were expact in Ireland. But that's another story. But
that's that's actually where they filmed the game show. Everybody that didn't make it
the first round, Hang on a second. They film the game show in
Ireland? Yes they did. They filmed the game show in Ireland. Wow.
Tax breaks right, yeah, I would soon. So that was one
of the reasons. So if you ever look at some of these game shows
now that ask you for or that you're applying to, a lot of them
will say that they you need to have an active passport because a lot of
producers are getting a lot of tax incentives for to film in Ireland. That's
crazy. Think about that. It's cheaper for a production company to fly you
to Ireland, put you up at a hotel for Ireland two three days,
fly you back, feed you that it is to keep you in the United
States. So you go to the Guinness factory jameson, Wait, was this
in Dublin? It was in Dublin. Yeah, Dublin was. I don't
know right now, but I knew for a while there we're trying to do
a lot of pulling people from other countries, incentifying young people to come and
find jobs and live. And I think they were giving you and I think
even Rochester has done this at some point ten thousand dollars if you came and
worked here and you know, or some kind of at least five years or
something like that. Yeah, I still pay people, and I think they
were Yeah, I think they were doing that with in Dublin. And now
look at this, this is what did you move our podcast to Dublin and
drink all the jamis. I would go that in a minute. I would
do that. I still have family over there. What do we start packing?
So well, this are usually on the floor. You're gonna you well,
I think this is interesting. So how how so they did the full
season? Already? Do you do you know? Are you allowed to say
this? Do you know who the winner is? I am not allowed to
say. Okay, no, no, I know you're not allowed to say.
But do you how you did? You can't even say how. You
can't say how you did either. I can't say how I did. What
I can tell you is my category with space. Okay, So basically it's
the way that they described it was things that are found in space? And
how I ended up with that category, I have no clue, but I
I everybody kind of has their own area of expertise, but there are going
to be some very interesting category that were if when you watch the show,
and if you watch the show from week to week to week, you're gonna
be like, where did they come up with that? Where did they come
up with it? And one thing I will tell you about being on a
game show and finally, you know, having that under my belt is it's
one thing to be in your living room and sitting on the couch and yelling
at the scream and you know that you know every single answer, but the
moment you're on a sound stage and you got cameras on you and you got
you know, Rob Loan is piercing blue eyes hearing at you. Let's shohtty.
We beat the socials. We chased them right out of the park.
So the pop curtis Now you're in your role pointing in Ireland. Nobody you'll
ever know. I promise, lights on are off on. I gotta watch
your eyes at least in a mirror. Yeah, I gotta think the pressure
that pressure alone. Was there a live studio audience as well? Yes,
there was a live studio audience. Did show up? Did Bono show up?
Or The Edge? Or Larry? How about Dominic from Real World too?
Who that guy? Yes? Yes? From so So Tommy? What
where do you live in? What town do you live in? Okay?
So you're down in Canandagua and uh boy, this this is a big deal.
You said this all started because you wanted to dabble in acting. Yeah.
Has that gone any further because of this? Have you made contacts because
of being on on Foxes? The floor I've made. I've made actually quite
a few content act to kind of open the door a little bit for to
kind of get that seal for being on a sound stage and production. And
I've actually gone to uh send in more self audition tapes for television shows like
the Last of Us Season two and a lot of season two, Last of
Us, The Last of Us, Okay, and Strangers Think Strangers Things season
five, which now that they're starting to film all that stuff, they're looking
for more people to you know, fill background and h background roles. But
I still have a day job. I'm still an engineer. But if I
can, if I can make a paycheck by by being a background guy or
or or even having a bit part somewhere, by all means I'll do it.
Yeah, and that's interesting. I don't know that I've known anybody to
do it now. I will say that guys had a little different trajectory.
But Robert Forster, the actor who's passed, did a lot of great movies.
I think one an Oscar. He was a teacher, somebody that made
a movie in Rochester. He was a teacher. Not award winning though it
was no but I think Robert Forster was a teacher. And then he went
on to be in many, many movies. I believe, yeah, he
was, but I think it was a teacher here in Rochester, originally from
Rochester. Yes, Doug Phelps has made a movie Welcome to a s earlier.
That's your evolution. Watch this year movie One Night at the Cat.
No, it's a night of the cat, not one night, a night,
one night, one night. You're right, it is a night at
the cat. It's gonna be called on the floor, on the floor,
buried behind the bookcase, collecting dust on the floor about it. Well,
I think this is exciting and night I'm gonna watch tomorrow and if I see
on there, I'm gonna pull some audio and play back on the podcast and
maybe we bother you again. I certainly do appreciate it. And maybe next
time I'll get to sit in that studio of yours, because that's actually really
cool. Ye, so listen to you when you're on the radio. So
I'm glad to actually that you've given me an opportunity to talk to you on
your podcast. Well I would, yes, and I would love to have
you in the studio. That would be fun. And uh, download the
podcast. You can get it anywhere to get podcasts, Apple, Google,
Amazon, Speaker, iHeart they got them all so they're all over the place
anywhere to get podcasts. You can get a syndicate Dweezer that's on there.
So Tommy best of luck, and I think this is very exciting. Your
family's got to be really, really pumped to see all this stuff. They
definitely are, and I appreciate you guys. Thank you so much for having
me on there. Bill all right, congratulations and go watch the show.
I think it's about to start. I think it is. That's pretty cool.
That's cool. Yeah, it's amazing. The tax breaks, I didn't
know anything about that. I didn't know that they were doing. Now it
is interesting because we did know we know somebody who produces some reality TV shows,
and when they did Teen Mom Reunion, they did it in Mexico at
a resort. I believe, same same kind of deal I think for the
for for the tax breaks and things. Yeah, you know, we're you
know, we're like the state of Georgia too, is becoming like I was
gonna say, Georgia. I was listening to another radio station today that was
there Wikipedia. How many TV shows and movies have been filmed down there?
Yeah, Atlanta, Well that's where what's his name has his whole production company,
Tyler Perry. He's a billionaire. Tyler Presents Georgia, Riches, celest
Georgia. Some of the stuff some of this stuff. I went to see
Tyler Perry movie goes to J No, No, this is legit. I
forget what it was. That movie's legit too, it was, but I
mean this was like someone of a serious concept and I liked it up to
a certain point. I go, every single thing he writes becomes a piece
of shit in my opinion. At the The Family. The praise was at
the movie. No, But I loved all the shows like he did the
Browns. I love that show. What was the one with the I forget?
There was another one I always enjoyed too. It was the Tyler Perry
production, so some of his stuff was there, But the movie just took
this turn. It was like this couple and they fell in love and somebody
cheated and got aids. Yeah, but then the way it went from there,
it just was like, all right, come on, man, he
could have done so much with this, and I felt like he fell short.
I'll look him up in a second. But a couple of young young
roles for Robblow remember class I don't. He was a cow student and his
mother was Jacob Bessett. As an affair with his roommate, Oh, his
roommate's mom right, Yeah, no, his mom it was Matthew Modine or
not Matthew would be yeah, no, it might have been modiep. But
the wait he so that guy had an affair with Rob Lowe's mom in the
movie. Yeah, okay, probably because I remember I can relate to Saint
Elmo's fire. Young Blood is a big hockey movie about Last Night with Jim
Belushi. That was Demi Moore. That was hot. Yeah back then,
that was nineteen eighty six. Yeah, well, I mean the guy at
the time he was he was a big actor. And then that's the thing
where he showed up just taking anything. But I think it showed that he
didn't take himself so seriously to exclude himself, and he really performed well in
those dles. I thought he was great. Boy, it was he was
a perfect foil. Yeah. And then so then he gets Wayne's World.
Yeah, or I think maybe Waynes were it was before or after they were
very close, but I mean the same same era. But I mean like
he he had a major role in Wayne's World. Yeah, that was pretty
interesting. All right, Remus, somebody we know who's that He always looked
like Kevin Lagrett, Rob Love, Yeah, you don't think so. No,
maybe I didn't see Kevin enough, but I always, for some reason,
I always made that connection. But Kevin would love to hear that,
Okay, Kevin. Jean Claude van Dam told Kevin he should be a movie
so idiot, I'll tell you, okay, Kevin muiror no, no,
no, no, that guy couldn't kick this shut have a big man.
You know they're coming out with new Karate Kid. This is no joke.
What I was looking for twenty twenty four movies coming out. My buddy wanted
to go. We used to go to movies every Tuesday, and then the
pandemic campen and he goes, I don't even know what's out. And I
went through the list of AMC and there wasn't really anything else grabbed me but
Deadpool three. There's a new uh Karate Kid coming out with Ralph Macho and
Jackie Chan. Now there, oh, good franchise. Jackie Chan was in
the remake. Yeah, so somehow this is coming off. It was rumored
that Ralph had lost all his money through gambling and he was going to start
doing porn. It was gonna be the Kraddy Kid porn episode. In the
first U movie was called wax On wax Off. I mean, you know
what the problem is? What you got gullible? Well, I learned the
second segment, second segment, this doesn't work. I ad mare. Well

went to a wedding a couple of weeks back. I talked to the bride
and groom. I said, hey, how long before you two have kids?
Because I really don't have any boundaries, And they said they don't want
to bring children into the world the way this world is now. I'm like,
well, that's a weird thing to say, the way the world is
now, because by most ways of looking at it, this is the best
of the world's ever been in history. Two hundred years ago, if you
were very lucky, you were having fifteen kids, most of those kids would
die. Most of life was having kids then watching them die. Hilarious.

it. You had no idea what song I was playing or anything. Seven
years of college. You know what's funny is I, uh, hair Nation
on every once in a while, I bunched over to it. I put
it on my I have a new favorite station on Serious Excent Life with John
Mayer. And I know that it's not maybe your music and su but I
love it. I love what he explained when he explains the music he wrote.
When he talks about songs he loves. He played a song I hadn't
heard in forever that I forgotten. I loved it, and it's maybe one
of the sweetest love songs ever. And people make fun of him. It's
called Green Apples. If you ever listen to Green Apples, I have not.
Yeah, it's a it's a really sweet love song. And he talked
about and I go, God, it's really well done. He's such a
to me. He's a likable guy, Like I'd love to hang out with
John John Mayer. Yeah, absolutely, that's just me. One thing I
love about the like Serious Section thirty eight and thirty, which is Ozzie's Boneyard
and hair Nation. Is that they have Jim Florentine and any Trunk and those
guys on DJing and okay, and they tell great stories of Rocket. It's
not just the music, the actual story. It's an old school radio when
they sit down. Alcano used to tell stories about how the song was put
together and everything and the stuff in the studio. You learn a lot.
Here is green apples. Let see if you remember the song? You know,
I get it. This nursing rhyme. I never played this in the
morning. Let my hair down and my morning was is It's just a great
love song. And I stumbled to the breakfast table while the kids is going
off to school, good bad, And see who reaches out and takes my
hand, squeezes it and see there's definitely some seventies production, but I love
it. And I look across and smiling lips that oh my heart, and
see my morning sun, what would morning would pitch a tent? And if
that's not loving me, I think it's just one of the greatest true love
songs you do. Yeah, okay, Because it's about like a couple being
married. You have kids sing Oh God, don't the summer. Yeah,
baby, I can see this on a Time Life those Time Life album your
favorite one, you get the next one free easy pick little Green Apples.

remember like when COVID happened in twenty twenty the first month of the year,
first six weeks of the year, all these CEOs were resigning in droves
and were like, what's going on? And then you found out, Oh,
it's oh I really Yeah, well I worked I worked in the recruiting
industry. So we're going to pay attention to this stuff. All these fortune
five hundred CEOs, we're all quitting. It's an election year. There's gonna
be a lot of craziness, craziness, craziness. I heard there's gonna be
more votes than there are people in the country. Could be I don't believe
that. Yeah, it's Parking Lot voted in the last election. I want
to see if I can find it. Because Danny, you do recruiting,
do you do? You do recruiting, but you don't necessarily do cold calls?
Oh are you cold calls? Cold calls in terms of trying to find
people who would Yeah, if I if I find your like your resume on
LinkedIn or something, you look good and it looks good, then I might
try to call you. Usually i'll reach out, Like people don't like get
called anymore. Yeah, so you usually reach out via like you know,
in mail or whatever. They call him. But then like, if that
doesn't work, then you're gonna try to call them and get in touch with
them, because most salespeople answer every single call that comes their way because it
could be a potential sale. Uh, somebody sent a I follow this guy
on Instagram and it's called corporate Bro and so he makes fun of like bosses
and corporate guys. But he played a call and I think it was a
real This is this was a real So he's re enacting both like mouthing,
you know, lip syncing along, but this is a real call that came
in. Let me let me see if I can get this to play.
You know, I'll start it again. So tell me if this is relatable
to you. Hello, I'm gonna help you. Hey, I was gonna
speak with the owner. Is that you best chance depends can help you?
Depend My name is I know okay, so yeah, hey, man,
I'm with a software service called have you heard of us before? Man,
dude, you suck at your job? Did you supposedly a real call?
Horrible for recruit you need to like like, why don't you play pretend with
the mirror with a friend or I don't know what he was doing? A
cold call? Hey, come on, hey, you made me laugh when
you say come on now, pull that dick out of your mouth, pull
it out. I don't know. They say it's a real call, that
some guy had called a cold call, and then they for sales. Yeah,
so it's a cold call to say, yes, we have worse software
company, what what do you use? Blah blah blah blah blah, And
this kid is just going, you're you're terrible. Kid was nervous and they
started laughing at the beginning, and then the guy goes off yelling at him.
Now, I I don't know if I have no way verify if it's
real or not, but it did me be giggled. Do you have you
ever had uncomfortable moments like that? Oh? Yeah, I'm cold calls?
You know. The funniest part was my boss at the time, Oh,
we would when I would call when I was first tired. He goes,
just call everybody in this index. Just call him. He goes, they're
gonna get your head bit off. Just call him anyway, because I'm right
here, Like okay. So I called him and he would jump on the
phone if we had a fish on the on the line, like to get
him to get him interested, right, And so I'd start talking to the
guy and the guy starts swearing at me and hung up. My boss heard
it. He goes, what's his number? You're not sorry? What's his
number? He calls him, called him back and laid into him. Well
it's a good boss, yeah, because do you know who we recruit for
company? Like he gave him that whole, that whole spiel. So,

it, And then he was You've never had a problem where you've been threatened
by anybody or anything. Uh no, No, well I don't know.
I'm not trying to step into anything. I'm just saying, like, because

flying from Brazil to Miami that, according to the news that they had to
restrain with duct tape video of a passenger meltdown on an American airline uber Uber
see it there as he's pinned down by crew members and other passengers. Local
ten's Joseph Ojo joins us live at Miami International Era would be Oja, except
at this time it is not clear exactly what did lead up to that incident
that is captured on video where a man is being restrained with duct tape.
But it did certainly happen around a busy time. But the airports have packed
and the freak me holiday season. This is video Local ten exclusively obtained aboard
a red Eye from Rio Daja Narrow to Miami International Middle. If this is
on the plane, I'm scared. I just watched Nowhere to Go. What

a life sized man. But I was just flipping back and forth, and
it was watching this very old episode where he just got out of rehab or
whatever it was for mental breakdown of them? Is this thing? He freaks
out? They actually made a remake of the movie. Oh, you don't
know what the mental state is of anybody. You don't know what. I
hope the Captain's good. That's all I care. Anybody else all I know.
But here's the thing, Like, if it's a car, you could
pull over, it's a boss, you could ask them to stop. They
pull over to get out you're in the air. What are you gonna do.
I'll start seeing more and more Federal marshals then out out of the mill
we did for a while. Well I think they still have them. You
just don't know. Well you're not supposed to know, right, Yeah.
You know what's interesting here. You remember the Dutch mill and uh yes,
yeah. The owner was a Federal marshal for years then bought the Dutch mill.
On it on the wall one wall, he had probably twenty seven to
thirty signed pictures of celebrities that he had flown with. Really and they wanted
to thank him. So he was like, oh, wow, I'm the
federal marshal. You know, mind if I get a picture, send me
something. So yeah, it was either them or a picture of them together.
They sent it and he had him frame so man, so he would
go up to the them afterwards. Yeah. I couldn't tell anybody, of
course, not of course her plane tickets next to the picture. Yeah signed.

head, like tickets and and I signed on. I don't know. That's
pretty cool though. Well what a way to use your job? Yeah right,

I think when I was part of the the funniest person he was.
He was he was one of the headliners. Yes, yeah, that week,
that's great. Yeah, but nothing, Well, it's a little slow
in January February. Yeah, I mean when I was there with Mike Danbro
there was a lot of old timers from Rochester and I think we might talk
about there. There are four clubs around Main Street, three hundred people every
night and it's just unfortunately it's gone down and COVID hurt comedy clubs a lot.
Talking to somebody, wait wait wait, there were three clubs four four
Funny Bone Yuck Yuck over the years. Oh no, all the same time
at one point in the early eighties. And then it went down to just
the Winton Road place, yes, and then went to Webster and now it's
at Carlson. But now with COVID, everybody's not everybody, but a lot
of people made their family room into an entertainment center so you don't have to
go out. You can get you know, doll burrun right exactly. So
after you left CMF, there was this guy. I never knew who he
was until he came in. He's coming out Fridays and he used to
do comedy at the Holiday Inn. I remember, yes, yes, yes,
Okay, do you know what this guy was? Yes. He used
to get so mad because I wouldn't call him back, and Tommy's like,
don't Tommy couldn't stand yea, he couldn't stand him. Yeah, I do
remember his name. He tried to write a book. He was sort of
a hack. He would tell you everybody every name comic that he hung out
with. But he was always good to me. And I got a lot
of work at that at that small club, and they started putting some asses
in seats and it was doing right. What was his name? God?
It, I'll have to I don't I'm not sure because he had a heart
attack, right, And then he used to lift his shirt like his closing
bit was he was or his opening bit was moving on up and he would
lift his shirt and show a scar. And I don't know idea, but
he was down in Florida. God, what was his name? Yeah?
I liked him too. Somebody who was I talking to the other day?
Picture there's an old comic and he would he would have paper airplanes on the
table. Did you ever see this? And he have a cardboard cutout of
Empire Sea building. He put on this gorilla mask and everybody would throw the
planes at the at the stage knock them down. I'm like, that's awesomely
funny. I would love to try that. You should because I've never heard
that, And yeah, you should. I if there's a step on anybody's
it has probably been twenty thirty years, it's got to be. He's not
going to be go going on YouTube it's gotta be, It's gotta be.

like MGill gorilla yourself. There was a comic that we interviewed once where mcgilla
gorilla show. I love that show, mcgillagilla. But I used to work.
