Whin your old career gives you lemons, throwing some ice, mixing some vodka.
We call it a podcast from the Mac of All Trade Studio in Fairport
and driven by Victor Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. It's Bilified the Bill Moran Podcast.
Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on. Thanks
for telling. A friend asked how we spread the word about the pirate ship.
Doug phelps us here. We're waiting for Greg Connors to join us in
a little while. How's everybody doing. Dan, always fun when you're on,
dude, good, Thank you. I got out golfing lest Saturday.
Beautiful day. You go what I went out golfing last Saturday? He did
Yeah, twenty he did no pars, but it was a little wet,
but it was good to be out. Yeah. Sorry, brings coming,
Yeah, man, get out there very little. I was waiting here a
joke. I was twenty. Then I went to the second hole thing.
Hey. But he has some great stories about ubering this week. Then we'll
get to that, right, Doug has a story. He's got a story
said, I'm not getting I'm gonna tell you before on airings. Oh this
one before you gotta do it. You got a find way to do it
because it's so good. And then I mean, coming off of last night's
show of the Kink, yeah you know that was something. But today,
yeah, Ny Wegman's has announced that it is now supporting Whole Foods in Brighton.
Oh yeah, that's right. We go further when we go together.
Well, that's it. If he can't beat them, join them, right.
A statement from Wegman says we compete with Whole Foods and practically every other
market we operated. The plaza was never zoned for this size development, and
the traffic issues have been our concern from day one. We along with other
businesses, supported the efforts to do the right thing for our community. All
of the business is a Monroe Avenue and the employees that worked there at this
point and worked there, excuse me, at this point it was deemed good
for our community and they have our support. That is what they said.
Now, I'm pretty sure they spent a million dollars Wegmans to fight this,
and now it's like a million dollar million dollars to fight it, and you
lost. And that spent thirty seconds to write it out. Right. Now,
we had Anthony Danielli on the program the day it opened and the Whole
Foods opening. His family is the developer of that plaza. I'm doing great,
fellas, how you doing. We're doing well. But I don't know
if you just heard that little whiplash. I'm doing okay. People were stopped
on five ninety not because they were getting stuck in traffic from Whole Foods.
They were slowing down to take a look at No that was That was Danny
Wegman slamming at his break whatever to blow it down. I never introduced a
stepper to that side. You never did. Kom By, y'all. She
comes a holy roller herself dancing for Peter, Paul and John. She got
no holy water, she got a lot of holy Danny Danielley of the Danielley
Family Companies LLC, the project's developer, issued the following statement saying that they
took a look to moving past the ongoing litigation, adding my brother and I
both attended high school together with Nicole and Colleen Wegman, who are truly wonderful
people. It's unfortunate these politics had to unfold, but in the end,
businesses business, and we never mixed business with personal Affairs will always embrace this
sincere and deep rooted admiration towards the Wegman's family and their extraordinary team. Now,
last time Anthony Danielle was on, he talked about how Whole Foods was
looking at possibly backing out because of all the litigation that was going on.
Not Jeff Bethos directly, although we did hear when when Amazon first bought Whole
Foods, which is now probably four or five years ago. Uh, there
was they were reviewing with Jeff some of the stores that had been in the
pipeline for a while, and so I guess there was a conversation he was
involved with because you know, they were frankly contemplating whether or not to stick
with the Rochester store or bag it because of all the controversy and the lawsuits
and everything. And uh, you know, he heard the story about Wegmans.
He heard this, you know, the competition thing, and he was
like, no, we're not backing down because if we back down here,
well then why wouldn't somebody else try to, you know, get us somewhere
else. So you know he was part of that convers That's what Jesus from
the Church of the Holy mattress down on Spring Street. She's on her knees
praying, don't you worry. She's very appealing and about three signs she'll be
appealing her clothes off. H. So we're gonna try to call Anthony Daniellie.
Uh, Danny has his phone patched into the board because my phone is
running the camera. So I appreciate you doing that. But Gary Craig wrote
a huge article in the DNC today all about you know. It was basically
almost mocking Wegmans in the title of the article, which was pretty funny.
And uh, let's see here we go. We'll see if we get Anthony
Danny only on should we call him a d d Yeah, after after while
after after Danny, after Danny has been recognized my number, Yeah, I'll
text him, Yeah, I text him if you can. And then we'll
look. This is Garmo, I have interviewed tomorrow at nine am. Are
going to be little late. Let me see. I want to pull up
the DNCU headline that Gary Craig wrote, because it kind of jumped off the
page. I mean, I was like, wow, I can't believe that.
Uh, the DNC is still alive. Well, that's one thing.
That's one thing. Democratic chronicle. It's a little bit of a heartbeat.
Yeah, right here, Wegman's hired lobbyists, bankrolled fight against Whole Foods.
Why has it changed its position? That's the headline. That's the headline of
the DNC. I mean, the only thing is it doesn't make Wagmans look
good. And I don't know if it made wagons good look good to fight
this is this is you know, sort of a I mean when you look
at Whole Foods here, the footprint is nothing compared to Wegman's, right,
you know, but it's not gonna take overman, No, no, And
everybody talked about this, you know, haremas or independent or small supermarkets.
Everybody's got to eat. But the problem out there though, the parking is
terrible and the traffic, there's gonna be accidents. When a fire truck comes
through, it's gonna be jammed up for an hour or so. Really,
Yeah, I had to drop somebody off ubering in that plaza and it's just
bumper to bumper slow and you're everybody's just waiting to hit somebody. And they're
there. You're waving at them, they're waving at you. And they're like
no. And there's also a doctor's office in there. I think there's a
unity care. Yeah, and uh so you're picking up elderly or elderly are
picking up there, and they're very cautious, which is good, but it
just makes for slow traffic. And the parking lot was packed. Yeah,
you know, and it is like Wagman's parking lots that, um, the
one over an East dav is tough to get in out of two you can.
Yeah, yeah, that's hey, good for I mean well, I
mean, look, it's nice that at some point you just have to sort
of back off. I'm surprised there was a public statement, but maybe it's
in the best entrance of Wagments to make a public go for it. Let
me see, Uh, I think we got Anthony Danielle. Yeah, sir,
is this the line? Are you gonna call me back? No?
This is the line you're on. I'm on all right, Well, let
me go somewhere quieter over here. Well, we were starting to call you
Anthony Dan yelly, and we're gonna call you a d after Danny after Dan.
Oh did you already talk to my brother? No? No, your
brother the other Danny Danny. That would have been fun, because I think
he's having a colonoscopy right now. That would have been I would have been
I would have free to hold the phone exactly exactly. So Bill, look
podcast, here you go, um speaking to colonoscopy. What are we talking
about? While we're talking about the colonoscopy that the Dan Yellye family was taken
for a long time to get the Whole food What may I ask, sir?
Where are you at the moment? So I am at a fine dining
establishment at Pani Vino on Monroe Avenue and love love that place. Yeah,
yeah, great spot. They do a nice job and it's close to home.
So well, thank you for allowing us to interrupt just not at all
sort of the news today. I don't know if you were surprised, but
but I was at the statement that Wegman's released now saying that Whole Foods has
their support. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's it's a little you know.
I mean, obviously we're ecstatic where we're happy, and we hope that it's
one hundred percent true. I mean we have uh you know, I mean
through late last week their lawyers were still like sending complaints to the town about
where we were parking, and you know, I mean, so it was
interesting that it happened that fast. I do know the DNC has been working
on that article for a week or so, so I don't know at what
point we haven't heard anything from from their legal team saying, you know,
we're tapped out and we're done. But I certainly hope. I mean,
you know, I read the same article you did. That that's the article.
That's the only information I have, And you know, I mean,
we're hopeful that we're past it. I mean, as we talked last week
and I was like, you know, why are they still doing this?
I mean, at this point, Whole Foods is open. I can't envision
a situation where a judge is going to shut down the store. No,
so you know it's pissing away money. What are you doing it for at
this point? Well, Anthony, I mean when you when you look at
things. The headline in the DNC was one that sort of grabbed my attention
this morning, and Gary Craig wrote it, and I wanted to talk to
Gary, but he's teaching a class tonight and it said Wegman's hired lobbyists bankrolled
fight against Whole Foods, why has it changed its position? And it was
a million dollars that they spent to fight that, oh, I can promise
you it was a lot more than that. So so you know, we
believe it was about one point six million that they spent legal fees, you
know, from the beginning and to the end, on top of the lobbying
fees that they paid in Albany, which were public you know, and we
learned about that about four months ago, that they were actually making contributions to
state senators an assemblymen in an effort to get laws changed, which I mean,
you talk about taking it to an extreme, I mean, I don't.
The good news is it's impossible to get anything done in New York State.
So they were unsuccessful in that attempt. But you know, it's crazy
how how far they went to try to stop a competitor from coming in.
Um, you know, it's it's it's mind blowing, you know, it
was mind blowing to me just considering the footprint they have here versus the footprint
Whole Foods has or may have in the even in the future, right exactly.
I mean, you know, at the end of the day, it's
not going to you know, they're not going to miss a meal because Whole
Foods is here. And aside from that, I mean, their stores thrive
in Rochester and I can't envision an outcome where they're not going to continue to
thrive. I mean, just like Trader Joe's, Whole Foods is pretty cool.
People are going to go there. It's been packed all weeks since they've
been open, and I assume it will still be busy throughout the years to
come. But I mean it's you know, it's crumbs. I mean,
most people aren't going to do all their shopping at Whole Foods. You're going
to go there for some specialty things. They have some really cool stuff,
but most people are still going to buy their toilet paper at Costco, Wegman's
or Tops. You know, at the end of the day, you know
that that's how it works. So um, you know, but we're happy.
You know, we're moving forward. We we I'm having dinner, I'm
having a glass of wine, We're brading. You know, life goes on
and hopefully this will we'll be able to laugh about this, uh colonoscopy years
from now. Yeah, you know, you know what I just just before
I let you go, I call what the Wegmans have. And when I
worked construction as a high school kid, there was this guy over the summer
who taught me the difference levels of rich. There's rich, and then there's
fuck you rich, and then there's exactly then there's fuck me rich, and
the fuck me rich are the people who can spend one point six million dollars
to fight something and lose and it doesn't matter. That's fucked me rich,
doesn't matter. That is Yeah, that's absolutely correct. Well, I'm glad
this is all behind you, and I know people are very excited about it
all. And man, what a learning experience. Huh it is. It's
been a heck of a ride and we're at the other end. So now
we're going to find some other rich people to piss off and we'll go on
to our next train. I'm pretty safe. Hey, yea once once chick
fil a, once Chick fil A coming in. I mean day, I
talk about stopping traffic. Do you think the wagons would have fought that exactly
exactly. I don't think they would have cared as much. That's just well,
enjoy your dinner and uh say hi to uh, some of my friends
over there at pont A Vino. I will yeah, I will. Uh.
And you guys continue to do a great job. Appreciate you having me
on and have a great weekend. All right, thanks me too, bye
bye, all right, thank you guys. My buddy Javian is a bartender
over there. Boxer. Oh no kidding, he was a boxing instructor.
I think if you might be able thing. Yeah, it's yeah, awesome,
Well there you go. Yeah, he's a boxer. You're bartending friend.
He's a boxing instructors. Yes, so I think he's started his own
thing now. But we used to instruct together. Yeah, used to box.
I instruct, Okay, I instruct. I did you have to know
how to box to instruct? That's true? Yes, yes, give a
certification you have to pass, yes, yes, can't get knocked out certified
and you gotta have CPR. There's a certain belt you have you get you
get championship belt. No no, no, no, big fight, big
fight coming up this weekend, fellas. We'll touch it on that. This
a big one. I'm serious, big fight. If you're gonna be laying
down some money in Rochester, no, no Vegas, Okay, big O
is a big one for real. Is it boxing or is it m boxing
not mm A, Yeah, this is box kind of taking a back seat,
don't you think so many years ago was Tyson and Foreman come back.
I've always thought, to me, I loved boxing. I'm not as big
a fan of MMA. I understand that. I understand the attraction to it.
I know why people like it, I really do. The action is
there, the violence is there. They and they're smarter. They move these
fights along, right, So you got guys every three months that are coming
up for fights, where boxing you could go years. Yeah, right,
you could go years and then somebody drops out or something happens and there's there's
not And that's where I think boxing started to lose some of its momentum.
But to me, it's my preferred I just looked at wrestler. We have
one from Rochester. I think he's fourteen one. His name is oh the
kid, Gregor Gillespie. He was oh yeah, Gregor Gillespie. Yeah.
He was a wrestling champion, Webster Webster and then Edinburgh is a onetime national
champ. His dad built a wrestling ring in the basement and used to wrestle
the kid. They would grapple, that's how Yeah, he was amazing.
Yeah, and I think that John Bones Jones was born here and he is
I think he went to East right. Yeah, he's hinting at retiring and
he wants to do his last match at Madison Square Garden in his home state.
I would sell out, right, that would sell out incredibly. Um
but yeah, no, this weekend is is legitimately a huge fight because I
was I went in to see our friends today, um at the at the
plug, Oh okay, and uh so they had all kinds of just you
know, there was all there. Look you go in there sneakers from all
prices. I saw some Jimmy c sneakers on there. But this weekend you've
got Davis versus Garcia, Ryan Garcia. I think Ryan Garcia is uh,
to me, the better fighter in this match. But so if you want
to put some money down, that would be that would be what I would
say. I was watching boxing about a year ago after I got this thing
from my from my wife, this punching bag stuff, and she she goes,
you have been on this punching bag for two weeks and all of a
sudden you think you know everything about the box Yeah, you're right, I've
been trying to I would I think he's I think Ryan Garcia, I think
this is like either I know he was. I don't think he's super featherweight
anymore. He might be featherweight. This might be there the lighter guys.
I didn't want to say the wrong thing, That's why. But I'm trying
to find it now and I'm not seeing Yeah, because Garcia is uh,
I think he's like twenty three and oh the other guys twenty six and oh
wow, yeah, so somebody's got to lose. Yeah, somebody's losing.
I mean this is this is probably the biggest fight that has been around in
a long time. No kid, Yeah, all right, Yeah, So
I would think that this would be the one that you want to see if
you want George Foreman movie coming out town. I know a lot of box
boxing can make it a comeback. Boxing a little by little, yep,
slowly, slowly, but surely we will take a moment um at some point
tonight, We're gonna go and test real Guinness high octane Guinness versus non alcoholic
Guinness super quick. Yeah, you're gonna do the high octane verse. The
uh, the low octane. So we will do that a little later on.
And this guy just watched Oh I know he belongs on a commercial.
I'm going to make you look good, I guarantee it. I want to
tell you about my buddy Mike Mack and the incredible business he has with his
wife Kelsey. It's called Mac of All Trades. Mac of All Trades.

line at five eight five two O six eighty eight sixty six, Hey Bill,
Dan, Kevin, the rest of the Bilified crew. I was just
listening to the episode you were talking about Murkins. You guys were talking about
all these kind of donors and stuff like that, where you get him from,
like sheep and stuff like that. And I got a perfect donor for
this. Everybody's complaining about Greg Connors neating a haircut and be sure to like
him subscribe to modified where everything made us laugh, and then I saved it
and you were gonna coming in, So I thought, got the donation right
here for the American the Merkin Uh just real quick. The fight this week,
and I had Davis's record wrong. He's twenty eight, No, Garcia
is twenty three, and oh there are one hundred and thirty one hundred and
thirty five pounds. I don't think like there's a real title on hold.
It's just more it's going to be the Yeah, one's gonna advance the other
one basically this is this is like, yeah where it's in Vegas this morn.
Yeah. So David is a former two division champion, but neither he
nor Garcia needs belts to really market themselves. These guys are and you gotta
see Davis is something to watch. But I like Garcia in this fight is
gonna take it. I would like to watch it. I gotta see.
Uh what got you into boxing? By the way, when I was a
kid at the y, just being at the w I mean, did you
get your ass kicked at some point time and then you were like, I'm
going to defend myself. I had to swim and I wanted to do some
boxing stuff and I did that, and then I, uh, you know,
you learned boxing and you learned how to throw your hips and your legs
and I howld uh I was eight nine ten really yeah? Wow? Yeah?
And then from there, uh it would you know, you would just
kind of there was no boxing teams around. Everything was, you know,
far away, but I always had my grandfather loved it, and then we
had heavy bags and things, so I always had an interest in and I
had the speed bag as a kid. Old men all love So did you
actually did actually have I We used to watch that when I was a kid.
That was on Saturday. They did not have it where you had contact
with each other. They had it where you were learning a training spar and
then the guy would put on the stuff that would cover him and you'd go
in and fight. So that was it. And then as I got older
and I came up here, I would go to rock boxing and they had
sparring and stuff like that. There. Have you ever barren lunch on Tuesdays?
Have you ever been in like an actual round like three round matcher,
Yeah, where this sparring is. Yeah, it's three minutes. Yeah,
but it isn't sparring. One person is there to take a beating, another
person's there to train. Two guys would go in and just fight. Yeah.
Yeah, in this round wearing the black yellow, it was guys who
were had jobs and shits. So you are going to like kill you but
you could get hit. Yeah, you get hit. Yeah, that's interesting.
It's a it's a it's fun once you get in there. Well,
boxing is different than fighting, Yes, it's very different. Yeah, yeah,
it's very You want to score from the head to the that's where like
I mean, you know, I don't know what people think of Floyd Mayweather,
but he was kind of that. He was a matador, right.
He could just bring you, bring you, bring it, bring it where
you out and then he'd throw less punches, but he'd beat you. And
it was about scoring points. He wasn't so much a knockout guy. He
was a point score very boring to watch. Yeah, but he's probably the
smartest fight that's part of other things, but probably the smartest fire fighter who's
ever lived. Yeah. And Pakia was one who I mean quick, quick
with those hands, and there were a lot of punches, you know,
but was not like Floyd where he could I mean Floyd could slip and watch
sugar. I used to the Sugar ray Man, Yeah, perform as a
performer in a boxer. I used to love that stuff. Did you see
Creed? I did not see Creed three? Yeah? Yeah, no,
I saw the first two. I did not see Creed three, and I
and somebody asked me to see it because they wanted they they didn't like it.
There was another date night for you. Yeah, they didn't. They
didn't like it. They didn't they didn't like the way this was the way
it went because there because there was no rock in it. No, it
wasn't the Rocky. It was the way something like they didn't like the way
the characters. Yeah, I felt the same way. Okay, that's interesting
because I hadn't I hadn't seen that at all. Um. I want to
bring this up because well, since Greg's here, and we'll kind of transition
to talking about you know, the bills and what's going on, I mean
tomorrow Hamlin and and then of course all this stuff with Josh and Dougs heard
different things than we've heard on something. What can that confirm? Nordon No,
I'm just saying, well, it's been out there, right, I
mean we we we've heard about it through other people too. I just haven't
been able to find anything that would be legitimate. But the nil deal that
the nil deals, I should say, that are going on in college football.
It's name, image and likeness. And Pete Carroll, who's the head
coach of the Seattle Seahawks, spoke with Pro Football Talk or Pro Talk Pro
Football Talk, and he said, these kids have choices and they're figuring figuring
it out. And I just the way he says this, read this,
and then I feel like there's an underlying message in it that isn't very positive
in my opinion, come from Pete Carroll. Usually, Yeah, these kids
have choices and they're figuring it out, and here's a whole kind of here's
a whole young kind of evolution occurring here, and they're early in it.
But they're exposed differently. So we're seeing guys a little bit differently. They're
getting paid. I think they can't help but be affected by that. It's
a different world. They don't have to stay at their schools anymore, they
can go anywhere they want. I think it changes the guys, it changes
their mentality. I don't know what the result of it's going to be because
it's only a couple of years old right now, but it's evolving now and
we're going to see I think some changes. Carol strets it's a bit too
early to make any sweeping generalizations about how NIL has changed the mindset of rising
players, but it will be interesting to see if there's a noticeable impact on
their overall levels of maturity and other potential factors stemming from this fairly new reality.
The way I'm seeing this is it's a guy got paid and he doesn't
play as hard anymore. Yes, and that that's sort of what I'm seeing.
Like at his point, I'm wondering if you're gonna see guys not do
as well and that hunger you know, that fifth round guy, the Tom
Brady's, the guys who had that hunger to move up and go that is,
they're gonna be less of that. I don't know. Well, for
me, I don't think at that at the third round, in fifth round,
I don't necessarily think so. I mean, those nil deals aren't like
those guys that are in the first round round right for me. And that's
the difference between. Look, the guys that succeed in the first round,
yeah, are the guys that have the ability and have the drive. Right,
But because you're gonna they're gonna have thirty two guys drift and well thirty
one because of adult things of the dolphins. Yeah, but not all thirty
one would be great players because someone who have the talent, but they don't
have the heart, they don't have to drive, they don't have what it
takes to actually be successful at that level. Right. That's why the thing
with Damar Hamlin, I think about he's a great he's a talent and he's
a he's he's a good football player, right, but what made him be
successful last year was his drive and his quick decision making in lack of fear.
Him coming back after he's been back, Is he gonna miss that second
or two and za gonna make the difference? Mean, because that's a that's
the thing where the kid makes a team in place or doesn't make the team.
Yeah. Well, every time I think of the Damar Hamlin situation,
I think of like if you've ever slipped on stairs in some place, Next
time you walking with the banister a little harder, you know what I'm saying,
Like you go back to that same element. Is there gonna be a
little bit of fear? Are you gonna have uh think, hang on,
I don't want to hit this way? Um And what happened to him was
really scary. He talked about I died in front of everybody. But then
you know, and I also got to say, like I wish, I
wish he came with more, almost like a fighter where he came in he
said I'm coming back. It was it was very sort of soft spoke and
like I'm gonna make a comeback. Well that's how that's his person his personality
is. I mean he's a he's meeting him last year at training camp.
Super nice kid. I mean, very politely, very respectful, very community
oriented. I mean, the team loves him. He's a great person to
have on your team. He's not that ra ra I'm gonna get in your
face and I'm gonna rip your head off kind of vocal. I mean,
he did it on the field and you did it well. It's it's such
a sliver. There's so many people in the people who play football at want
to get to that level that you've got to have it all going in the
right direction. I think the NIL deals are gonna I think some kids might
stay longer in college because they're gonna make more money. You get the you
get those deals because you're relevant. Right if you go to the NFL and
you're a third or fourth round pick and you don't make the team. If
you're not relevant, you only have five years in college. Right with a
red shirt, you only four years. Now, granted there's been six or
seven years, but that's because of COVID. You get five years. That's
it. Yeah, to make your money. He's on what school you go
to well, exactly, you go to the school that can't afford you,
but you grew up in that town that was your favorite school. Yeah,
and then Duke says, well, you can come play here. We'll give
you a scholarship and one hundred thousand dollars. Are you gonna stay with your
home school that you were now with the transfer portal? To me, it's
it's like it's money talks, and unfortunately some that that's going that way.
I wonder what would have happened with a guy like Tim Tebow. Right.
You see Tebow as submitting people say the best collegiate football player right a long
time. And then he went to the NFL, and while he may have
been the strongest, he just didn't make that he wanted. He wanted to
stay at quarterback, and he just didn't have it. And he's a great
example of he's a great talent, he's a great athlete, yes, but
in the NFL it takes something different. One of the reasons why I think
Tebow wasn't successful in the NFL is because he didn't have part of that commitment
or drive or that it that it takes to be the man in the NFL.
I thought he because didn't they want him to be a tight end tight
end or a yeah for an h back here. Yeah, he could have
got a Canada at a quarterback and he didn't want to go to Grant Canada
either. Yeah, they were like Canadians Denver to the playoffs he did.
I mean they got a playoff win. He got a playoff. There's too
many people saying that he can't do it, and everybody said, yeah,
he probably can't. You should have had a better chance. Same thing with
Doug Food. He had his chance. Come on, so you get one
team, two teams. Look in the NFL, what did he go?
Jets Denver? He went to the Jets. He went to Denver. Then
he actually got on for a training camp with the Patriots. With the Patriots,
he got cut. Then he had no guaranteed money. He goes to
Philadelphia with Chip Kelly and he got cut in the last round it cuts,
goes to play baseball, and then he came back last year to try or
two years ago to try to play tight end for the Jacksonville Jags. Yeah,
and he actually his baseball wasn't all the better. But I don't think
you ever cracked the majors. In the NFL stands for not for long.
For long, you get, you get they give you. You have a
small, small window, and that's for damars. You're telling me Tim Tebow
wasn't better than they knew the third round draft or third brown stringers that was
on the team. He was britton, but he wasn't gonna He wasn't gonna
put himself there. He had the opportunity, he didn't want it. So
why because he didn't have it between the ears to put it in what he
needed to do, because he had other things in his life and purpose like
God and saving everyone else, which is fine. Yeah, that just doesn't
make it in the NFL. And that's why I think doesn't make it in
the NFL. Everybody was praying with demorrow hand. I think we need a
little more gay in the NFL. But well, well, when he he
didn't want to be a third string guy. He wanted to be a starter,
not a starter. I don't I won't play. I think he wanted
to be a quarterback right and I thought they wanted him in another position,
So he wanted to play quarterback, Yes, but he accepted a trade to
go to the Jets. They offered him two teams. Denver offered him two
slot. Hey, Peyton's coming, you gotta go. So you got two
choices. You can go to New York, play for the Jets, backup
Mark Sanchez or fight for the job. Or you can go to Jacksonville be
the man. Right now, I'll go to New York. Really, so
they brought in I know this on first hand of it. They brought in
Bill Polian to do an intervention with Timo because Tibo had outside interest his faith,
Christianity, whatever, and even Bill Polian couldn't talk him into just being
more team oriented. I'm not saying he was selfish, but he had other
interests that were more important to him than his football career. Maybe he's the
other guys were ungodly. They want to be around these heathens all the time.
I'll play with the other field. But after that, yeah, fuck
you guys. Oh wait, he didn't say it like that. He said
the heck with you. The heck with you guys. But that's where the
and I think what the Naal's doing is it's giving these guys opportunities and access
they never had, and I think it takes some of the fire out of
their belly. Yeah, that's what I was taking from this article. It's
like the fire and that's just it. I can see it in what I
do. Yeah, you know, people come in, they want something,
and then once they get it, they don't necessarily have the same drive their
expectations to have what they currently have. They're not necessarily driving to the next
level. Right, there's uh. Marcellis Wiley, who played for the Bills,
had a talk show for a while. He's famous for saying this,
he goes more guys in the NFL are more interested in what football can do
for them than what they could do on the football field. Most players are,
and so once they get that check. Yeah, and then look at
all the free agents in Marcellis while he's college colors. Oh yeah, Columbia
Blue. Yeah, that's right. I forgot he was an IVY League guy.
Yeah, and then he from Compton went to the IVY League. Yeah,
he had his uh, brilliant kid. He had back issues and I
thought he told me he had a couple of Verteberry fused may have nack when
he was playing for for Buffalo, But it's what happens when you played at
that level. Man, That's why you gotta have. So I never got
in for Hamlin. My prediction still is at Hamlin comes in play through camp,
gets on the field, does well, performs well. We won't be
able to notice necessarily where he's missing a step or two, but they'll be
able to see it in the film, and uh, he'll either make the
cut, stay on the team and they'll celebrate that, or he'll you know,
see it himself or make a graceful exit. What we were talking about
this, I go, I'm not sure. If i'm his agent. This
is a tough one. Yeah, encourage this, not encourage this. H
you're done, You're dead. Yeah, but I don't think I don't could
have happened again twice. Yeah I can. Yeah, well you can only
strike twice. But what I saw, what I what I've seen in the
news, and what I've read, is that the circumstance, he's not more
susceptible to it happening again than you are. You or I are susceptible toward.
So I mean he said, I like my odds. Yeah, that's
what he said. I like my life's a gamble. Yeah, it's it's
well, first of all, every football player that I know that's any good
is crazy and they think that's not gonna happen to them. Well, sure
that it's not gonna happen. Yeah, he too, worried you wouldn't be
able to focus, and so he's thinking, you know, and that's why,
that's why with a concussion protocol, Ta Ta right, yeah, Ta
gets knocked out in that Bills game. The dude is off his rocker.
He's Louis, Yeah, can you go back in hell? Yeah, yeah,
of course I can. And he's saying, I've said, he said,
he contemplated retiring, but he wants his son to see him play.
He wants to I think I think this is to his last year after hearing
agree. Once you mention, once you say something like that, it's over.
You're you're done, You're you're mentally you're done. Do you think so,
oh yes, oh yeah, yeah, he's I think he's playing it
out, getting this what he can out of it. And then because remember
he was pre nil, so he's got to play out his contract, make
his money, maybe get another but he's I think he's toast. Don't be
surprised if you see though, sure he was toast after this year, I
think, and again I've never There's been a lot of Tah haters. I'm
not a Tuah hater. He throws a great catchable ball, and I think
he's good. Yeah, and I think he could play in the NFL.
He's I don't think he's that top quarter I think he scoped quartile quarterback.
Yeah, but uh yeah, I would not. If I'm his agent,
if I'm his family, I'm telling him no way. Well that's what I'm
thinking. I've seen Jim. I look, I see. I've been friends
with Jim for a long time, and he ages and his friends Thurman and
Bruce is the only one that hasn't aged like the rest of them, but
they age more. I mean, well bodies, remember what we used to
have? Jim. Kelly Wood came into the studio once and he said that
I love forget this line as long as I live. Well, there were
a couple like he. Some days, she can't bend over to tie his
shoes, so he was wearing crocks and stuff because he goes it's just easier,
and that Sometimes she'd say to his wife, Hey, I want to
go see this movie and she's like, we went and saw it last week.
Jim, Because remember can't remember. I can't remember, so that I
mean not at all the winning quarterback. If I'm gonna sign a deal Josh
Allen style deal change generations, I mean that's generations. Look at steroids in
baseball, but in the NFL too, Let's not forget that. I mean,
like, hey, look, they're gonna offer you this huge check.
Yeah, I could take a needle for that. Sure. No, I'll
deal with the consequences when they come. That's how they think. By the
way, Troy Acomb, I can't remember anything about Super Bowl thirty any one.
Yeah, I know that, or at least the second half, right,
wasn't it. Yeah? Yeah, I mean that's insane, the celebration
all you live for. I don't remember. Yeah. Well maybe Josh Allen
won't remember any of the rumors that are going on around about them either.
So this it's been funny because I feel like the Damar Hamlin story should be
the one that's grabbing all the headlines. But I think we just like selacious
stories, does it. Well, it's also a quarterback, your franchise quarterbacks.
I think that's why podcast that's not to get the better ratings than Dug
and Eye. That's for camp Share. I don't know. Dug's pretty funny
though, thanks, I should say about myself. Wait, Tim Tebow funny,
Welcome to the stage. I was on the radio in Canada that they
made it back to America. So what is this? He had heard different
stories and somebody wrote me this big long thing and I'll paraphrase. It was
on Instagram and they said that, uh, she caddied for him? Was
that three weeks ago? Pebble Beach? Hebble Beach? Was that? That
wasn't three that you're talking about? Josh Josh Allen's girlfriend. Yeah, that
was February, by the way, as anybody I have said this when it
first happened, Britney Spears and she went after the uh conservator ship. Yeah,
yeah, and she didn't want it. She got freed, and I
said, I'm worried about this because it doesn't look like she's all there.
I'm watching I followed her on Instagram just to see what was going to happen.
She has turned into and Doug, you can relate to this the scary
stripper, afternoon stripper, you know, the one, the scary one in
the afternoon light. Yeah, like three o'clock. You can work, mondays
to four ship. She has turned into that stripper. Man, Yes,
if you look her up on it. I'm looking around, does all these
dances and stuff. And I look, I go, oh my god.
And so I don't know where the truth lies with what was happening with her
money, But I kept going. As a parent, I would I as
a parent myself, I'd be very concerned, and I wouldn't want to have
the world think I was in any way. I don't. I don't want
to say abusing necessarily, but financially abusing my daughter and things we're making her
do things to make money. Uh. So I don't know where the truth
lied with all that. But I go, man, this isn't gonna end
well. And it's just not. And I'm watching it now she's stripped,
and I go the other day, I'm looking at I go, oh my
god, she's turned into that scary stripper that strips it three in the afternoon,
like you're there, now, you're now there. That's it. Hey,
guys, watch the first twenty thirty years. There's still you know,
I can be with her. I can be with her now come down to
my level, yes, right, but anyway, behind the music continues.
We're parents, Yeah, so you bother, you know what you two,
it's right for your kids. Yeah. There are some parents probably help some
you know, misguided intentions. But even in those parts, you see what
I just see some bad parents almost every day as an uber driver. Yeah
yeah, yeah, so you know, and if they did something wrong or
illegal, I mean, that's what the courts are for. I mean,
you can't there's so much oversight and overview to those types of things. It's
Yeah. So there was all these documentaries. It became this ground swell Free
Brittany, Free Brittany, And there were all these people's saying right, it
became a ground swell. And I think I watched one of the documentaries and
I went, Okay, I would hate to see anybody be manipulated and forced
to do things. But now I go, something's not right here. So
now Britney's freedom, Where are all these people? Are they helping her take
care of going on tour? Are they taking care of her mental health?
Well, allegedly she has an album that's supposed to drop. I don't.
I don't know when I thought I read that she had an album. All
I know is that I opened up Instagram the other day and she's twirling in
her front foyer with I think she's topless, and she's got her hands covered,
and she's got some kind of like green bikini bottoms and she's just dancing
and I go, oh my god, she's turned into this stripper man.
Three o'clock, give me a three o'clock in the afternoon DJ intro. All
right, the buffet's open, and here comes Tammy. And because my car's
in a parking lot, they don't have djur like you got a jew box
striping the music. Yeah, play me Stewart, okay, Joe, okay,
get you don't have a DJ during the day, you're playing your own
music. Mean, I go, oh my goodness, this is bad.
But the Brittany that we're talking about, Brittany Williams, who is uh Josh
Allen's girlfriend, I don't know what she is now ex girlfriend? Yeah,
well, I keep seeing like they they unfollowed. That's the new big breakup
all right on social media. She unfollowed him, and so that starts to
leak out. Oh god, no, I just know the New York Posts
had an article and stuff. But somebody I was told that the breakup happened
before the Bengals game. Now I couldn't find anything to confirm that. So
then a listener said, no, it wasn't because then she had put out
a thing saying what a great leader Josh was, and we did see that
on TMZ and then on the twenty third, that was the day after the
game, and especially all the things that happened, uh, you know leading
up to the when that game finally got played or they finally met on the
field, and then uh, they said she was his caddy for a few
holes at Pebble Beach, so that meant they was in the family suite for
the Bengals game as well. Yeah, so I would assume, like,
so the things were going well, but then we don't know why they broke
up. But what are you seeing or hearing? What did? What I
heard last week was that she got a U haul, backed it up to
the house his house, grabbed dollars ship and laughed. And rumor had it
was that she got in his phone and found um baby pictures, ramshill everyone
no evidence, never have any evidence on this. And then she found out
she pictures, confronted him and apparently it's a waitress. Really Tiger. Yeah,
Perkins. It wasn't a waffle house Grand Slam. Was it Denny's.
Yeah, I don't know what it was. I just heard it was a
waitress and pictures. I think it was Perkins because I remember my brother going,
I think that's the Perkins lived at the time. I think this the
one. I'm like, let's go see if we can find her more coffee.
So we're just playing you can with a few friends and one friends like,
yeah, i'd be out of there, and my other buddy's like,
he's worth it's gonna be worth six hundred million dollars. You might want to
stick it out and be stepped mommy, And do you have a sister wife?
Okay. It was strange because I had seen her a training camp a
couple of years back. Yeah, probably pre COVID. It was pre COVID
because the first training camp since COVID was last year. She did not look
like she does now. Yeah. I was like, I mean she's already
just soaked into her always been. I mean we met her, We met
Brittany and Josh and they came in and Josh's family in his rookie year,
and you know, she she was a very police. She's very nice.
She was very kind. She was always very giving of her time. Um
as is Josh and his family and his mom and dad. And when she
came back to and we were there for a couple of years. Then when
they came back last year, she had a different look. Yeah, And
the look was she evolved from a small town girl from California, yes,
to in La New York City. Got it. That was exactly greggy now,
that that's exactly and I did. I didn't know how they lost that
innocence too. That that kind's all that I can't She was very again,
she was still very sweet, touch A little bit of a farm girl looked
to her. I thought she came in yes, yeah, and I know
that it sounds mean, but I grew up in a rural parten Yeah,
whole she looked corn fat man, God, what no talking about the afternoon.
I've seen strippers come in at eighteen years old and try out and last
a week and crying in the back room, and in six months they're they're
upside down on the pole raking it in. And I've seen the older ones
that thirty eight, forty and as the young ones evolving. Yeah, come
in, they're going down to the entree shifts. It's just amazing to see.
Yeah, it's it's you know what that's that's that's like an NFL,
right, and there's a lot of concussions and strip above that. Poles only
two and a half years. You got your money when you can't spend?
What have we learn from the dentist? This way you look inside somebody's mouth
and tell you what they've been doing. Yeah, but it was how healthy
there? Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
like pink eye, but it was yeah something Basically it's like an injury from
bruising, Yeah, having a Yeah, no, I've never heard of that.
Yeah, I'm just so what happens now? I mean I feel bad
for Josh. Josh first of all, can you imagine know if if if
you or I or Dan had that kind of attention we were going through a
breakups in our life. I said, God, I said to me,
of course, but about your life, I don't know. I said to
these I said to these guys, being famous sucks. It does seeing famous
sucks? Because this this is what, like Damar Hamlin should really be what
people are talking about when it comes to the Buffalo it's not and whether or
not, and now seems like the rumor of him knocking somebody else up has
really gained some steam. That's a lot of personal issue. And by the
way, it's gonna be a human being at some point. I mean this
whole thing. If it's true, If it's true, I can't find anything
to say. Again, it comes down to we Americans love to build up
the underdog, right small the kid from nowhere, goes to junior college,
goes to Wyoming and goes to the Bills, resurrects the most phenomenal franchise fan
base in the history of the NFL. And he's at the pinnacle. He's
got all this going for him. He chokes against the Bengals, and now
his personal life is in shambles, and what is it. Everybody's watching him
just fall, just watching the trouble, and it gets all the attention.
Right, it sucks. He comes back to win a Super Bowl two.
Yeah. One of the things, one of things fantasy. What I like
most about Josh's interview the other day when they came back, when they came
I'm sorry when this came back, was how he said, I'm more focused
on football than I ever have been. Yeah, that right there, I
was like perfect awesome. Now I hate to say this as a as a
as a stubborn, selfish male who loves football. It's because he doesn't have
some woman nagging him? Can we go to dinner? Are we gonna go
here? You spend too much time playing video games and playing football and golf?
What about me? Do you not love me anymore? Wow? Greg,
I think we have to vane there we Well? I I'm with Greg.
I wrote an article about this week. Greg, he I get Dan's
gotten. No, No, I wrote an article about this last week.
Say hey, look, Doug and I have no idea what Josh Allen.
I don't get those kind of arguments, No, Jo, No, Josh
Allen. You know he has to take over the offense like it's his yes
and so, and like it sounds like or it looks like there's no quarterback
in the NFL right now? Since Brady retired, that that does that.
There's no computer behind center anymore. Peyton Manning was that was that computer behind
center. Tom Brady was the computer behind center. Aaron Rodgers isn't Ben Roethlisberger
never was. No, I'm wondering if and Alan has he that wonder like
I think he's scored pretty high on the Wonder Like he's a smart dude.
Now, if you don't have any distractions, I don't know what this other
story is. Maybe that will be a big one if well, it's life.
But at the end of the day, he's focused on football. Man,
I'm all for it. Well, here's the greatest thing, is I
live my life. I car sent through Josh Allen even if yeah, it's
this story, even even my wife does this rumor is true. You got
enough money that you can have and you'll be fine. You know what I
mean. You have round the clock care for the kid. You could get
the best of the best for the child. Nanny story, stop, that's
my story. Don't do that. Nanny. Nanny was ugly. I was
just honey, I suck it in everything. Anyway. That kid, yeah,
looks, she looks like looks just like I think has the gap and
tweet his teeth and everyone just keep Josh away from Keep Josh away from golf
clubs in the in the garage right away my car. Yeah, all right,
we'll take a moment when we come back. Should we do the tastest
the sean alcoholic Guinness verse real Guinness. Yeah, now should we? Since
it's you I was gonna be I would be the one who drinks Guinness mostly.
Yeah, would you like to also be? Who else wants to be
in it? Because I'm thinking we have a guy who knows how to pour
beers. We can't see which is which? Do you understand what I'm saying?
For it to be a true blind taste test, somebody has to pour.
So maybe, of course you got a spoon? Uh? Yeah,
you can pour it over spoons? Yeah, I don't know that. Plan
on shooting up? You turn on? You got a letter? I don't
have the proper spoon. I'm not a beer drinker, but I'll join joint.
Yeah, we'll see if you can tell the difference between non alcoholic Guinness
and real Guinness. Iron Smoke, the internationally claim New York State Farm Distillery
right here in Fairport, New York, is a fun place to tour unwine
with delicious craft cocktail made with the incredible Iron Smoke whiskey, which just won
two golds in the Denver International Contest. And we have I did a one
on one with Tommy Burnett that I'm going to release on Saturday, forty four
minutes. It's a yeah bonus. I thought we'd do once a month,
maybe do a Saturday Sessions. It's a great interview. He is probably the
coolest guy I've ever known, like truly, like the cool you can't be,
but you'd love it to be, but you can't. This guy has
just lived. He's been homeless, he has been down and out. He's
been on tour with Modern English and in front of thirty thousand people, then
with his own band, opened up for George Thoroughgood, you know, stood
around a recording studio with David Bowie, tried out for Def flapperd I mean,
all these different things, and then went on to have a huge marketing
company. It's it's a fascinating interview, so check it out. I'll drop
that on Saturday. But they also have been called one of the ten best
bourbons out side of Kentucky and in um Forbes magazine that said the Iron Smoke
Distillery smokes its grains over applewood before using them in distillation. The process results
that are bourbon that doesn't have a sweet, syrupy note expected from the category.
Instead on the palette abundant spice and smoke joined in bringing to mind char
grilled, peppered meat covered in maple syrup. And this was all an idea
that Tommy had standing in his backyard smoking ribs and drinking bourbon. But he
probably need to drink that necessity is the mother of adventure. I hadn't tell
you I don't drink. I'm not a bourbon whiskey drinker at all. And
I was at a pitch that he was selling for investors and there was a
bunch of other and he was, you know, the entertainment, the different
spirit side of things, and I was not interested at all. And Tommy
comes over realized I was the only one that wasn't tasting it, and he's
like, come on, yet, I try this. You're the one person.
I'm like, yeah, no, I don't drink brown. He's like,
come on, he goes, He goes everybody like you taste this,
And it was apple pie. He's apple pie because everybody likes it. And
I was like, all right, look, I'll try it. Not only
did I try it and like it, I actually invested in the business.
Yeah, I know that's how good it is. And if you can get
me to drank it. Well, the funny part is like, all all
spirits, right, are clear until they're aged in a barrel, and that's
where the brown comes from. Is that? Yeah, so it's everything.
I'm pretty sure all spirits are clear. So we could say it started out
clear, Greg right, get your weekend started, Mike and Julie playing Friday
Acoustic Sunset Sessions over there five till eight, and then the Tate take the
stage Friday night eight thirty to eleven thirty ten dollars cover Saturday Night Meyer and
McGuire, I don't know, Acoustic Sunset Sessions three thirty to six thirty,

they take on the They get on the stage at eight three. Very
very talented. I've shared a stage with them once, and not in the
way we're like I play one day and they play another note. We were
on the stage and the same same night. Doug knows that like all the
comics I shared a stage with. I mean it might have been month.
I told us we kicked off the show. They told us there were five
bands. Brandon was second. They told okay, forty five minutes dand off
then Brandon comes out of place for an hour and fifteen. I'm like,
come on, come on, I'll have to play for an hour and fifteen.
Great stuff having an iron Smoke Distillery one eleven Parts Avenue in Fairport,
New York. Baby. Uh. Before we come back, I did a
little interview with Justin Harris, who is the reigning champion, two time champion
at Landed Legends. Huh yes, in the Big Block Modified and racing starts
there again Saturday night. So we'll talk to that and then we'll come back
and won't do a little taste testing. Cool, let's do it stock com
too much? You know, we always not an entering Blackel, the rude
up his ships, Justin. Are you familiar with that song? You don't

the last year's champion at land A Legends two years in a row.
So we're shooting for a third. Yeah. So there's a lot that goes
into this. Because I've been down in the pits, I've seen your operation
up close. You got a whole team of guys, you got your trailer,
you got How long does it take to get that prepared? Because this
weekend kicks off racing at Land of Legends. Yeah, I mean we we
pretty much it's an all year, um, you know the thing that we
kind of prepare for, you know, racing starts. Our first week is
this weekend, and uh it goes you know at Land of Legends, you
know into September, and then uh there's a bunch of big races, um,
you know towards the end of the year. That pretty much takes your
into the first week in November where we uh we finished your North Carolina at
the dirt track, um, right across from the speedway there in Charlotte.
So it's it's a long season, and then we take a couple months off
during the holidays and then uh right back at it, you know after the
first of the year, getting stuff prepared for the upcoming season. Wow,
I mean there's an awful lot and how how many hours would you say,
are you putting in or your team putting in leading up to this race Saturday
on the car, making sure everything's up, just back, enough tires,
enough fuel, all that right now, you know, I mean I couldn't
even tell you the hours that we spent the offseason just just preparing and cleaning
and just you know, rebuilding stuff. And we got a new car that
we put together over the winter that you know, you got probably sixty to
seventy man hours you know, assembling it um during the season. And um,
last you know, last week we it was our they had an open
practice that we went to and just kind of make sure everything does uh you
know, nothing falls off, the brakes work, the motor runs good,
no skips, no gremlins as I like to call him, um. And
uh we did that last Saturday as a beautiful day. Obviously it was eighty
degrees out and uh we've pretty much been at the shop, you know,
not a ton this week, just kind of um probably about six to eight
hours this week we'll spend in the shop just going back through everything, make
sure everything's nice and tight and uh, you know, nothing popped up where
where we didn't catch it at the track then maybe loosened up, but so
far everything's good. We're just gonna put the finishing touches on it tonight,
um, and we'll be ready to load the car up Saturday. You're ready
to go over to the lane to ledge. Man, look at this,
there's another season, the twenty twenty three season about to get underway. Do
you ever get nervous before races? Because I didn't realize in these big block
modifies how open you really are, you know, with with in terms of
driving close to everybody else, you know, stock cards and things, you
seem to have a little more uh, I don't know, protection between you
and the car next to you. Yeah, I mean I guess I get
more nervous about doing good than than actually like my safety. I guess,
um, it's always in the back of your head. That's you know.
I got, you know, two children and a life, so I'm I'm
you know, it's a little bit different than uh. And I took a
pretty violent flip in twenty eighteen where I, you know, flipped like six
or seven times and had a concussion and black eyes and everything else. So
it's still uh, you know, every time I drive into turn three,
wide open there and the tracks got a little choppiness and roughness. I think
of that that night where I wear a barrel rolls a bunch of times.
But uh, you know, once you get in there, it's you know,
you are locked in, and it's you've got so much concentration and you
just really focus on what you're trying to do. A lot of fun and
you know, obviously very very competitive. Yeah, that's what I always He's
like race, race car driving, driving cars at high speeds on a track.
I can't think of anything that is closer to being zen where there's no
other thought in your mind, but what you're doing in that moment. Yeah,
and being on dirt, you know, you're you know, one slip
up or one misjudge a corner, you know, you get out of the
little bit of traction that's there, you slide up into a guy. I
mean you are. We're literally racing the feet from each other, inches sometimes
from each other, and uh, definitely a lot of adrenal, a lot
of fun, and we really enjoy doing it. Well. Very good good
luck this season, and uh thanks for spending a couple of minutes with us.
And I'm sure I'm predicting another track championship. A three peet a three
pete Justin, Yeah, that'd be awesome. You know, that's really what
we're shooting for. And obviously a championship comes with consistency and wins, and
we're looking to hopefully start the season off right down the victory lane. So
we're excited and you know, it's uh, it's it's been a long winner.
We're ready to get back at it. There you go. Justin Hars,
the track champion from Land of Legends last season, back again this season

you were responsible, you apologize, and I think that's a play. I
just want to tell you that it's air good shows, and be sure to

that Mama Bear? I don't know who that was, but Kevin actually saw
that. It wasn't March. No, no, it was not I thought
that was March. No, not March. That's what I was thinking too,
like my mom. No it was not her. It was not her,
all right. So Doug has poured the non alcoholic Genness, which I
didn't even know they made. Yeah, I found it yesterday. Well,
no, this is non alcoholic. No, no, no, no,
I just he knows which one's which, but the non alcoholic versus real.
So we'll taste it. And we'll see which is classic determined. It certainly
smells certainly smells like Gennis greg And built it silp um. This doesn't taste
like there's alcohol in it to me. So you're saying no, I'm saying
mine's no. Mine tastes thinner. I'm saying, I say this is a
no. This doesn't taste like there's alcohol in it. Don't taste glass number
two? All right, Glass number two should have brought some crackers. Oh
yeah, crackers, cracker all right. Now that wait, I should probably
clean my palette with vaca. Now, this tastes like guinness to me.
So you're saying yes on number two. Yeah, I'm saying number one for
me was non alcoholic and number two was alcoholic. Yeah. This one here,
for me taste up like there's alcohol. It just tastes like a Guinness
to me. Yeah. Yeah, the first one was a Guinness. Shut
the fuck up, Wow, shut the fun. The second one was not.
That's all. I didn't open that one first time. Wow, no
kidding, you're kidding me. Yeah, this one tastes maybe it's in my
head. The alcoholic one tasted lighter, The non alcoholic one tasted heavier.
For me. Yeah, me too. Yeah, this still tastes thinner.
Somehow they've come so far with trying to match it up. I mean,
it's not like thirty years ago when it first came out of team fucking line
to me palette. So a funny thing about non alcoholic beer. Say,
I take the office out for uh Saint Patrick's Day, and then we go
it on the trata and we take them all out and everybody orders a drink
and one of our I mean that non alcoholic tastes better too. Yeah,
I'm not one of the staff members orders non alcoholic drink. And he's a
younger guy, and I'm thinking to myself, Oh man, I'm like,
oh jeez, he's kind of young to be an alcoholic. Is what you're
thinking, Kitty, Here's what I'm thinking. So I so I'm thinking I
want to embarrass himself in front of the ball. So we're talking and and
I'm like, how do I say, you know, why are you drinking
now an alcohol beer? And later on he goes, oh, yeah,
I gradu him high school two years ago, and I was like, oh,
he's not twenty one yet. So he was out with us wanting to
be a part of it order non alcoholic beer. And I was like,
I knew. I hired this kid for a reason. He's a smart kid,
smart guy. What was he doing. He's one of our paralegals,
went to paralegal school, about high school, two year degree. He is
twenty years old or something now and cool and yeah, but smart kid,
good kid. And but I was like, man, he so he certainly
smart. To tell you, there are times I would ordered water. There
are times now I know some bars that are stocking non alcoholic beverages, which
I know it sounds weird. You're making a face. Does this happen?
And then we have one one brand or something brand? Yeah? Okay,
So there is a place I go to where the owner doesn't drink, and
so he keeps all kinds of stuff. Good when you own, because otherwise
it's a long night. Well it's bad. Yeah. Look, and I
drive home and I have friends, Yeah, I have friends. I know
that seasons ship. But this guy and then also the what is it not
monster water? What's the liquid? Uh something? Liquid death, liquid death,
quid death is water? It's water? Yeah, yeah, so they
keep that it's it's in it's canned water. Yeah. And he keeps that
in there. Yeah, but I'm telling you when you're in the rest market,
best marketing ever for water liquid death. I've ever heard of this?
Yeah, yeah, good at Darien Lake for Live Nations. Yeah, that's
what they sell. Their water is liquid death. It's a black it looks
just like it looks like a can Heineken. There again, people think you're
drinking out, Well, this is the thing, like you could drink that.
So here's a way, Like if you want to keep your wits about
you, if you're trying to if you're going out with a lot of people
and you know you don't you I mean I can't. I clearly couldn't tell
the difference between the non alcoholic and the alcohol and not. All I drink
is guinness. Look. One of the reasons why I drink Vaca water.
Yeah, one is calorie intake. But number two is when I go to
the bar that girls figure right the other way, he's waiting for the winner
of the Garcia. You'll have to kill me. I'm out. I'm not
a boxer. You gotta kill me. I fight. I don't box,
I fight. You gotta kill me to knock me out? Is uh?
Is because you pour water in it for everyone drink it's it's how so nobody
I put my lemon in there, and then people think I'm drinking vaka water
and I'm just drinking water. There is something, especially as I've gotten older,
that uh, you make a lot of bad choices when you drink too
much or you can you can, I say you do, but I maybe
have. There's a higher tendency to make bad decisions, which is why you
think circus. Sometimes that's right, and then sometimes there's impulsivity that can happen
and you don't need that ship going on, and so I go, boy,
this is not a bad option. Yeah, you know, I save
your night and it's fun and you kind of keep your witch about you.
Well, sometimes you need to blame the alcohol because you want to do something
you want to lose and up and then hey, Doug, did you take
that girl home the other day? I'm like, dude, I have I
have fifteen shots. I don't know what I was doing. I think I
did. Yeah, we did throw a lot of shots. How many do
we do? Then? Yeah? Yeah I beat you darks they don't him?
Yeah, you need a reason, Tucky, you took that girl row
stone sober. He had good Now what do you think she's saying? Key
was sober? Mom, I'm wait, Doug. So Doug has drives Uber.
And I always think that you get to see all of humanity right the
right day. You get to see all of humanity, Yes, from everywhere.
Sometimes some very interesting stories come up, and this happened. Yes,
But let me just say, I'm going to get gas today and I'm standing
pumping gas. Guy gets out and he had left his keys, and so
the car makes that noise when you leave the key, and some cars do
that, like if you have a push button start and you leave the kind
of the fob inside and you shut the door to go baby. So he's
still walking over and I kind of look and he goes, hey, sir,
I said, how are you? He goes, I'm beautiful. What
a beautiful day it is today? And I go, yeah, sure,
it turned out that way. I've been up since four to thirty. I
said, yeah, I go, you beat me. I got up at
five thirty. He goes, yeah, at four to thirty. I started
right away. And he turns out he's an Uber driver. He's say over
and I said to him, do you get a lot of business at four
to thirty in the morning. And he said, yes, there's a lot
of doctors and nurses. And I said they don't have cars, and he
goes, no, he's And I thought, you know what, if you
were so id to say why not, it's it probably comes out to less
than a car payment a month if you're paying. People have figured it out
that it is cheaper with the gas and the insurance and the upkeeg. Yeah,
some people are getting rid of their car because they don't like the traffic
and the crazy drivers out there. I mean, I tell my parents,
don't go any farther than you have to, because I see it every day.
Yeah, and some people don't like drive. You're tired at your job,
nurses, doctors, if they're working twelve thirteen hour days, right,
you come out tire. They don't want to drive home. They're yeah,
graggy in the time of night. I never would have thought that at all,
because some of the doctors I know, like Kevin van Valkeerberg, Scott
he they have these high end, high end cars that they'll take down to
the track and stuff. But yeah, it makes perfect sense to everything you're
saying makes perfect sense. I just never thought. I never heard that before.
There's a ton of sense and how much they drink. Yeah, there's
a ton of reasons people take ubers. Yeah, when you first started,
you know, you think you're just gonna get people from bars going to dinner
drinking too much. And that's very a very small percentage really, even at
night. I mean even if there's ten of fifteen drivers out and you all
take fifteen people home, that's one ride per yeah, right right. You
know, I have to tell you, I don't know if it's because of
my generation of who I mean, my son Will who's down in pens Day,
That's how he gets around Pence Day. Uber Uber, Well, it's
either the transportation or Uber, but he when they go out drinking, it's
always Uber. That's why I drink my Vaca water and I drink water a
lot. I'm not a big I don't use Uber as much as I probably
should. Many people say I don't have as much fun as I probably should.
Yeah, you know where I'm starting to use Uber Morris, if I
knew I was going to go out in Fairport, it takes a lot of
Uber rides to cover that DWY lowerrier fee. Oh, shit man. Yeah,
so true, Doug, I had it. I think I've told you
this before, but I'll say it again because I repeat myself. Okay,
I took an Uber from Greece and I'm driving home and the woman had an
interlocked system on her car and she was a driver. Yes, what I
thought. They wouldn't allow that, so did I. And I'm hammered.
I slided the back of this thing, and like, how's it good?
She's like great, She goes, hey, listen, I may is you
don't mind if I have to pull over and blow in this? And I
go what And I go nope, that's why I'm driving in the back of
your car. And the woman I had never seen that. I never heard
of that either. She must have had some loophole. She must all probably
had already been an Uber driver. And then that happened was never revealed.
Wren't you come from a party's Yeah, it was the two graduation party.
Remember that she would have had a blown in it before she picked you up?
Yes, right, right right? And then she said that she made
him to do it again. Sometimes they do, You're right, they do.
Yeah, So I don't know. She randomly pulled over and blew Extra
part of the Fairer. So what happened with you today? So can you
tell it? You know, I'm putting on this spot, I know so.
Um. Actually it was earlier in a week, just those four.
Don't worry about it, right. My parents were listening, but that's all
right, Um, I love your dad. It was it was Saraday,
I went golfing seventy five degrees Monday's lake Shore. Nice. Yeah, it
was a great day, get out. Yeah, beautiful view, great course
and Monday was what thirty eight for me? Yeah? So I got this
later she was, Oh, my gosh, I can't wait for spring.
Saraday, it was nice. Now it was cold again. Oh gosh,
I'm just freezing. So I made a joke, you know, why why
don't you get yourself somebody? Don't you have anybody else to keep you warm?
Body heat? She goes, oh my god, I haven't had that
and so long. I just like, well, how long has it been?
And she was she goes, oh, year, two years. I
haven't even thought about it. My age, and she was between forty five
and fifty five. I'm like, well, you gotta love the I somewhere
in there, okay, yeah, yeah, so h forty five. I
thought you were gonna say eighty five. It's my wheelhouse anyways, getting right?
Uh, but I'm like, you don't have anybody. No, it's
been too long. I'm like, yeah you should. She goes, you
haven't thought about it in a while, and gosh, I really miss sex.
I'm like, and she she started talking, so I just you know,
what do you like? You're sorry? Remember do you like it on
top? You like a bottom? And she goes, I want to ride.
I like it a ride. I'm like, oh that's great, and
I go, well, do you ran away? Do you like to give
head? She just say that. I just said this out a lot.
I had a good feeling they could talk to anything with this woman. And
she goes, oh, yeah, no, drought. The way I like
to do it is to get a fruit, roll up and wrap it around.
And I'm like, oh my god. And I'm looking at my phone.
I got two minutes to trap for off another uber and I'm like,
do I accept it? I need money rights coming up. I'm like oh,
And I'm like, look, if I pick her up again, then
it'll be fate, you know, yeah, because you're not gonna faget that
like, well I never heard that. And for being in the strip clubs,
yeah, here almost everything. I haven't tried everything, but you've heard
a lot. Now the edible underwears a lot like a fruit roll up it
is just yes, sticky, Okay, yeah, it is thin, bitch,
we taste. I haven't worn anyone last No, they don't make myself.
Man, what do you say to that? I go, God,
but I go that's awesome. Yeah, and uh, I happen to have
a fruit roll up right here? Well, she had a bag and I
thought she was shopping at Tops. It might have been in there. And
I'm like, is that where you were shopping? Did you do you have
any roof front rolls upstairs? She goes, no, No, I don't
have them. Like, well, we'll have to you know, I have
to buy something. I'll catch you again, okay, and I just okay
over under. Does Doug have fruit ropes in his car? Now? From
now on it snacks not have fruit rob, No, but I got estrogen
after this because I date him old But after this? Will you put him
in the car after this moment? You know, I might? You don't
really better to have theman that need him exactly know what. It's kind of
a non perishable you know. Yeah, something happened, you know, you
want disabled them on the side of the road, say, if you meet
up, if you get the again, maybe fai so at least might as
well be prepared, right, right, So I'm assuming at some point this
has got to work its way until your act. I got a show coming
up at the VFW out in spencer Board, right, I'm not sure.
I'm trying to get some of my uber rides in in a skit. Yeah,
yeah, here's an idea. Right, So Billy Talk told you about
the reverse, you know, like the the the d w y lady who
was giving him the ride, she's got the interlock system. Right, you're
driving, she's riding, and all of a sudden you wrap the fruit roll.
Hey, this ride is gonna end unless you like finish this. You
gotta blow into this device here they keep the ride going. I'm sorry this
and less April twenty ninth and Hamlin. Yeah it's next Saturday. Yeah,
yeah, that should be a lot of fun. Yeah. I've been practicing
the car at home, writing some stuff down. Yeah. Yeah, what's
in that notebook? Uh? Ideas Billy. Well, the fitbit joke is
in here, the song I'm gonna start Okay, yeah, Danny's got a
fitbit. Yes that was well so yeah ye so then I duck tug you
gotta fit and I said I had one for a day. I masturbated while
wearing it until I ran twenty eight miles and seven minutes and the sling is
broken. So I returned it. I said, thanks Mom, I just
returned and grabbed some golf balls. That's pretty good. I think that work
than I liked. Uh yeah, I went, I went to the gym
and uh, I got a physical trainer. Waste of money. It's like,
you know, what do you want to do? You want to work
at cardio, you want to build up, you want to tone up.
I'm like, look, all I gotta know is what machine I got to
use in here to get some puss? And he goes the atm over the
thank you else. That's all I need to know. Because I was on
that. My usual workout routine was three days on, seven years off.
So I think that it is extremely funny. One the funniest person in Rochester
contest, and I think it has to come back and defend this year.
Yeah, yeah, just got something on Facebook. When that all happen usually
at the end of June into July and then there's kind of a little hiatus
comedy at the Carlson. Yeah. I just talked to my sister about it.
All new stuff, the new stuff every each each night. Did your
sister have to prove your comment your show? They really enjoyed it. They
really look forward to a lot of friends. There was very very blessed with
my family and friends. And they have great food, good drinks. It's
something different to do. Yeah, you're hearing comedy, yeah, you know,
and it's something the beginning is uh better than others. Yes, I
did explain that somebody first night, for first four nights or twenty people,
Yeah, and some people are up there and there's its crickets. Yeah,
but nobody's making fun of them that were snickering, you know, because everybody
knows, like I don't have the balls a good up there exactly right.
But the last couple of nights, yeah, the last the last night in
particular, it's like a showcase of the best justament where practice we should do
that that's her, they should set it up that that would be terrible feeling
should get hurt here, we are being sensitive. Come If I'm not good
enough to tell them that good, I'm gonna move to something else. There
are people that are so sensitive. What it? Come on? Have you
been you can't be sensitive? Yeah? No, no, no in person
though, like afterwards and stuff. I guess. But nobody's really being mean
nobody. No, no, no, not at all. But I'm just
you hanger. You get get a little further in there, you don't meet
them. Yeah, there's some wonders. We'll take a moment. I saw
something interesting on Rochester Reddit and if as a business owner, I'd love to
hear your take on this. It's back in the day with Kodak the things.
I had no idea, but it's an interesting thing. And then there's
some interesting comments from people. And maybe you grew up here your whole life,
right, Yeah, my dad worked for Koda okay one years and then
he got he got a brown bag. You may know about this. You
may know about them. His friends did two and still going to those parties,
those birthday parties. Forget about it. Hear all these old great jokes.
You're laughing your ass off, And then the thing is I'm telling them
the jokes they told me forty years ago, and they're laughing at because I
don't remember it. That's awesome. I'm the hit now. I was a
kid. I was I was getting pictures of beer from my dad's kegamter or
thefrigerator. Yeah, you know, and I listen all these dirty jokes,

Mark Hillman that he's referring to. It was like still watched and then told
us the story last thing and I had a show Doug the one clip that
I put up promoting the show, and it was pretty disgusting. I don't
want to go back there, but it was watching Mark's reaction to it,
like you and I. Danny and I were like, oh, I threw
I threw off my headphones, I backed off the mind and Mark and they're
like, yeah, yeah, it sounds good and it leads over at high
fives. Shauncy from Rochester King Society. She was by the way. She
sent me a note. She was very happy. She's willing to come back
on. Yeah. Well we were fairly I mean yeah, I thought we
were nice and she seemed to loosen up as the evening progress. I thought
you were. I haven't listened to the whole thing, ye because I was
driving it from Buffalo, But you guys were very play in respectful, tried
to be because it's it's a line. And the other thing is I do
think that people think they're freaks. And I'm sure she didn't want him being
on camera because she doesn't want certain people in their life to know. So
if that's people are, that's the case, maybe you should be doing it.
No, I'm kidding. We were talking about Josh and brit People are
so judgment though, right, you know, you build them up and they'd
love to see you tear they'd love to tear you down, right, right,
You're only human. Things happen there, you know. Well, the
thing is like it, it'll just keep it right and it's something else will
pop into somebody's thing. But when something like that happens and it's your world,
it's like everybody knows, and it can get to the point where you're
almost apprehensive to leave your house if you think that people are going to embarrassing
and stuff. But you know this two shell pass. Yes, yes,
there was an old story says this thing on Reddit, and you might be
able to I don't know if you'll know about this or not. Since your
dad worked to Kodak. I heard that the Kodak Center on Ridge Road was
built with a pool that couldn't be used because they forgot to calculate the weight
of the water. Is true. Does anyone have information about whether that is
true or not. I used to take us bowling there there's a bowling alley
and they see, Now this is interesting. I do none of this.
Yeah, and above it, I want to say the eighth floor. I
could be totally wrong, but they hit in ground. They had a pool,
yeah, and they started filling it. They figured it was gonna be
too much weight. It would have crashed through everything. So it's never been
used. Wow. Yeah, that is crazy because it said that's some really
bad engineering. Yeah, terrible. I think the architects weren't nobody used them
again? They built the Eastman House. The pool still there? I don't
know. Somebody said, I know the pool exists and that there are photos
of it. It's the story about the weight of the water. I'm interested
in finding out the information. And then somebody said I spoke with a former
employee from back uh it's heyday. He confirmed the pool thing and said that
there was at one point a bowling alley, shooting range, dark rooms for
personal film development. Hey, what the fuck was going on? Right?
And the nice dark rooms went in high school polaroids and a nice restaurant,
Right, did I just remember the bowling alley? And somebody said, king
confirm the bowling alley and shooting range went there many weekends as a kid.
You want to call my old man? No, no, no, what
we could? But I mean, you know, you know what you were
talking about. And one of the other podcasts about how do you think big
business is going to evolve into a bunch of smaller type? First of all,
that's the evolution of business, right. You get big, and you
evolve, and you evolve and then you use use economies of scale. Right.
One of the things that Kodak did back in the day. Is that
I mean George Eastman. One of the reason why people were so loyal was
because they did stuff like that, Right, he did. He made these
accommodations to people who were for him to make it convenient and easy for them
for their families to be a part of the Kodak family. Right. So
it's interesting you say that because so here's the thing somebody said on the light
on the Lake Avenue side, there was a huge putting green. When we
would pick my dad up, he would be out there pudding. Yeah,
out his game and then he went to Lake Shore afterwards. I also remember
him playing basketball in the league there, and many people played softball a Kodak.
If you ran any type of work sports league, Kodak rec would subsidize
it. I also know somebody he was in the chemical department, I believe,
and he said he worked at Kodak for twenty six years. I just
met him a few years ago, become a really good friend. But he
played softball six days a week. Yeah. I remember my grandfather taking me
and my sister to company picnics u Darien Lake Kodak Day there, Kodak Day
at Sea Breeze, I mean Red Wings everything. And incidentally, I'm sorry.
They just had the thirty third year anniversary, the longest game ever played,
and it was Yeah Frontier, Yeah yeah, and they had old footage
and some of the players I just deleted. It was cal Ripken and we'd
box thirty three game. Yeah, Mason and Naomi reason too. Yeah,
here's a funny part. One of the owners of the Classy Cat was the
bat Boy, and they have the team picture. Cooper's down and he goes,
I'm in the Hall of Fame. I oh, yes, I know
every time this comes up. Now, there were guys on the radio who
used to have the whiffle Ball, the Whiffle Bat challenge with girls strippers that
would come in. How far could they stick the bat in certain place?
Oh yes, yes, And I didn't know if the bat Boy ever tried
that with a bowl of Red Wings bat. Somebody said, George believed to
your point in work life balance before it was a thing. Yeah, but
somebody else says, and so I don't know if this is just a cynical
way to look at it. But a bowling alley, shooting range, dark
rooms for personal use, and a nice restaurant on a corporate campus isn't really
work life balance. That's a way to keep people closer to actual work.
Also, Eastman was notorious for directing every aspect of daily life for himself and
extending that punctuality to his guests and travel mates. People came to resent him
for it. I don't know if that's true, but it was. It
was like perks and things, you know, it becomes see here was my
I always thought of like Google, right, Google has a very open floor
plan, and they've got all kinds of games out there and stuff, and
they didn't care if you got up and started playing like video games and things
in the middle of the day, as long as you got your work done.
Or they had a big cafeteria and I think most of it was paid
for for the employees and all that stuff. And I kept thinking that if
I walked through and I saw some guys playing pool, and then I come
through two hours later and they're still hanging out, I'm gonna lose my shit.
If I owned the place, do you know what I'm saying. I
couldn't that work. I don't know part of the reason why they had all
that stuff there, like the dry cleaning picked up. They had the daycarectery
because they never wanted these employees to leave. That was the idea. Yeah,
Google, Yeah, Well look, I mean, first of all,
business is business. When you're you're you're splitting hairs. I mean, look,
you want any profitable, you want to provide a service, you gotta
provide whatever. Widgets and the camera in the film and all that. It's
it was Jorge every Bill Gates is a control freak. Yeah, I mean
Jeff Bezos is a control freak. That's that's what got him to be the
success. Now you can lose. Look, whatever your goal is. If
you want to cast if you want to cast a gate and draw criticism against
them for their leadership, go ahead. You're gonna find a million reasons to
do that. My people that work for me can give you a laundry list.
But in some respont but in part of it is what the success is
based on. It's like, what is your goal? If you want to
if you want to ridicule somebody, you can find a million reason to ridicure
me. If you want to say he's a good guy, hopefully you'll find
ten reasons. I thought this was cool. It almost sounded like, yeah,
great leagues. I mean, yeah, all my father's friends when I
was a kid was we're code accors. So when you went to what now
is I think it's center, Yeah, where the theater is, right,
yeah, yeah, So when you went there as a kid in bold and
stuff, was it all kind of on the company? Did you No?
I think you get a discount? Okay, okay, I think it was
eighteen lanes. That's a pretty decent like yeah, yeah, And then it
was just great to do a family sure, you know, yeah, well
right, and back to the bringing thing of bringing the family and showing them
work. And back in the day, that was as I understood it,
and as I've heard it through the people that we've represented through them back then,
was it was it was cost is that they didn't want to make money
on it. They just wanted to have costs. They wanted it to provide
and have people that feel comfortable and to include the family because like you know,
he were he bitch about these fifteen minute meetings. By the way,
I learned so much on this podcast. I haven't had fruit roll twenty minutes
roll ups. That's not my part of my shopping list. Now, Yeah,
I have not had a twenty minute meeting since you started talking about I'm
telling you, fifteen minutes, we're out of here. Anybody want to talk
about anymore, Well, come see mend all the guys that we just have
to sit for hours. I had two like hour long meetings today. Yeah,
I'm texting me to work together. I think they're already shut the shop.
I think you can get most of it done in fifteen minutes. Most
lists getting done. But I don't know. I don't run a big corporation.
I can't say. But it's easy to have having SATIN meetings. Always
thought it gets useless after a while. You're not listening, if you're not
engaged, it's useless. If you can have an hour meeting, if everybody's
engaged in participating, it's okay. It's like a storming thing. And I
don't even like to think of that as a meeting. But that's usually engagement.
People are thinking participating, feel like they have value to bring to it
when they're just being lectured at Yeah, right, that's where I think you
lose it. One of the biggest things people say is encourages him and keeps
a happy workforce is believe it or not. Free pizza. Feeding your crew
good and that's anywhere you feed your employees. He's laughing, but they'll be
more happy. Yeah, feed your crew And they talk about that on movie
sets. I'm laughing because one of the first things make sure you feed your
crew and feed him well. Every birthday, we have pizza and chocolate chip
cookie cake with frosting, have his fruit roll ups. No family, but
you know there will be no proof roll ups at my office going on this
Monday morning this episode. You do you do that for every employee in the
office. Yeah, yeah, both all the office at all the office.
That's awesome. Wow. So the buffalocation, everybody has a birthday, we
get that. We do that and we try to have fun Fridays. Hey.
You know, as an employer you try to make sure that you have
a fun place to work. But one of the things I've learned, I
was telling you today at a rough day, rough week, is that in
the end, people people when they work, it's a job, yes,
and when you own it like you own this, Yes, like your buddy
r J Yes calls in and says you're not to be owned, you're owning
it. It's different when you own it, it just means something different to
you. It's not a job, it's it's your life. It is,
and so you want to provide that. You know, we do we do
stuff with the office all the time, and I love it because, you
know, I spend as much time with them as as anybody, and they're
like, you know, they don't really want to spend time with me on
Friday night for dinner office dinner, or Saturday at the at the Gallo.
But during the week, you know, why don't they want to just coming
in a Wednesday afternoon and talk to everybody. Who've got a little comedy.
How's everybody doing, who's got the next birthday? Who's got the great fruit?
Roll ups? Sheila from accounting beautiful my birthday? Your birthday, don't
have a Sheila. We're gonna play a little spin the pick on a second.
But okay, that's really fun. It's just interesting, like all that
stuff has seemed to have gone away. We've we've moved away from that now.
Most people are still working from home. Kevin works from home when he's
you know, and Dan does as well with their jobs. So I think
some of this stuff of bringing people back to a campus is the yesteryear.
But now the question becomes what's gonna happen as we move forward with AI?
Because I said to somebody today, if you're not embracing AI, you're gonna
be like our parents were with computers if they get out ahead of it.
And this person said to me, yeah, but I get a little scared,
and he did. He was saying, I've been looking for AI companies
to invest in. He goes. Champ GPT is not publicly traded yet,
he goes. So. I was told Microsoft, it's the company too to
watch in terms of AI, and yeah, well Tesla too, right,
Tesla was probably the first AI company that was publicly traded. Yeah, there's
a poable that don't understand or know that. But Tesla's really Tesla's Tesla's market
values not based on its manufacturing at cars, it's it's AI and information gather
Well, it's all, yeah, that's interesting. I hadn't really thought of
that. And there's another big company that's AI, but they're not publicly traded
yet either. But I will say there is some scary stuff with AI,
and it gets in the wrong hands. A streaming service had to take down
a song that was said to be Drake in the Weekend and it wasn't Drake
in the Weekend. Sure sound I'm like him? Really yeah AI, so
maybe they created that. Yeah, so be careful. Then they're gonna start
cloning. Well yeah, like there are certain jobs that won't be AI.
And it does make you wonder, does do we wind wonder which jobs won't
be a at Well, I'll tell you, Like building stuff, I don't
think it will be AI. Right, if I would think that would be
before, like farming, Yes, you think it would always have far I
think building something and it has been. They've they've built cement housing. But
I mean I'm thinking three D printing, like printing, but they do it
a lot, they actually do. They it's construction. Alfred University is actually
building a three D building yeah with glass? Oh wow? Really yeah,
it's a new technology. One of the first ones being built is going to
be on our campus. Come on, Fisher, let's go crazy. I
always thought like things like coming into buildings now right, I don't know that
you could get somebody to come in and you can't. It's not gonna hang
your TV. Yeah, that stuff I think will be okay, probably for
the most part entertainment. If it's like this, But what happens with financial
financial guys making tons of money when all of a sudden, now you can
read the analytics, you can get the first of all that that whole I
mean, just ETFs themselves, you know, yeah, the broad based phones
have done that, but you need the individual to explain. You gotta trust,
you gotta make sure it's balanced. You do all those different things.
I mean, there's still I don't think it's gonna eliminate that, but if
there's a lot of different areas where I think it can be. You could
talk about jobs going away? I go, what do we wind up going
back to? Like you're not going back to anything. You'll go back to
it when it all shuts down. You have to you have to fire and
make your own fire. Well, go kill a deer for food? Do
we wind up going three sixty say history repeats itself? Yeah? Or three
D print the met This is an evolution mankind. We do evolve. But
I go, boy, what happens to all the people who are in these
places? If AI comes in? You know, talk about the old days?
Da job anymore? Isn't that what's happened here. I mean, look,
AI is not gonna take over you know, direct patient care and healthcare
systems. No, mar, I mean when you're sick to healthcare, you
need somebody was gonna give your hands out. I mean wherever there's actual hands
on interpersonal relations. Strip clubs, yeah, strip, I don't know.
I mean you got so much free porn online. I don't drive anywhere.
We don't get the Doug introductions. That's the only bad thing about it.
That's the only comedy you can comedy. It is not going to be able
to make it up. No, I bang this computer the other day.
It was a real hard drive. Get off the stage. You sucked another
computer like pushes it off the stage. It sounds like a right, well,
the good old days of Kodak, boy, it was something I had
no idea. There's a lot of great old days of Kodak. Like I
said, we were just at a ninetieth birthday party for Herb Kirk. It
was Herb Kirk, Dave Phelps, Tommy There, Mike spec Score. Those
were the four and uh and uh when they get together and they hit everybody.
It was probably forty fifty people there just talking about old times. And
you just like it will never I will never experience it, and the young
kids won't either. Just that big company when you you walk in and knew
everybody and you give your dad the uh I was in boy Scouts, eminem
Uh, I'm selling Eminem's. Will he come home? And yeah, here
you go. You're all set? And they would do that for every kid
around there. Yeah. You know now you can't remember your your phone number
without looking at it with this right. So the memories hopefully you're going to
be there, you know, and like I SA memories. Yeah what what
our generation doesn't forgets about Rocks And you didn't grow up here, did you.
I grew up in Buffaluffala, Buffalo. I grew up here. Yeah.
I mean the thing is that Kodak was the Google of the sixties and
seventies. Yeah, that's what Kodak was to Rochester. I mean that that
was the that was the good had the smartest guys and they the R and
D. Everything that Eastman brought in was from unbelievable. I and Xerox was
here, I mean boolam. I mean it was one one fact my cousin
told me. I think it was the seventies that five out of the ten
sponsors for the Olympics were based out of Rogea. Right, yeah, wow,
not five ten spots for the Olympics. That's amazing based in Rochester.
Yeah. Now you just drive around and like yeah, I know, yeah,
yeah, change. But now there's more people employed him in Roe County
than the history of the county. I didn't know that. It's more more
people are employed today than ever in the history of Monroe County. Really doing
what for teachers? Well, just out of the county, in the in
Monroe County, I mean between healthcare, yeah, well, health education,
vocation, all the other services you have. Well number one, Number one,
Dan works for a company out of Boston, Buffalo a out of Buffalo,
but we do the work in Boston, if that makes sense. So
I mean his company's out of Boston, lives in Rochester. I mean back
in the day, you'd have to live in Boston. You wouldn't be here.
Yeah, if you want to recruiting Boston had to be in Boston.
Not anymore, No, not no more. Uh. You know what you
could do though, but you could do like now, I my father in
law was an engineer for a nuke plant in Oswego and then he was in
charge of shutdowns. So then he decided, uh, he would during his
retirement. They would pay him to come to certain plants and oversee a shutdown
salting work. Yeah, so then he did. He as they were,
they would pay you to They give you a per diem for a hotel and
stuff, and he's like, forget that. He bought an RV. He
bought an RV and that's how he started. Like he would go to Massachusetts
to the nuke plant and oversee their shutdown and stay in his RV and get
their per diem and and do that. Well, that's right. Myers RV
invited to see the USA the Myers Way. In a brand new RV.
You can shop travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy hollers, and motor homes
from some of the top manufacturers like Grand Design, Whennebago, Thor, Keystone,
Forest River, and Moore, and Myers RV now also features the full

at Myers RV dot com. Reluctantly crouched at the starting line, engines pumping
and thumping in time the green light flashes, the flags go up, churning
and burning the yearn folded cup. They definitely must move a muscleful rank.
Paul, is this your ringtone? No, it's uh cake going the distance?
A little race car driving song. Paul Cole is the president and promoter
of Land of Legends, which gets under way for the twenty twenty three season
this weekend. We talked to Justin Harris not too long ago, who was
the two time and this year what going for a three peak defending track champion.
Yep, he's uh, he's been on a roll. We'll see how
how provided in twenty twenty three. Yeah, I mean, you know,
it's it's amazing. You go down there, you have one of the you
know, you talk a lot of places talk about family friendly events, family
friendly events. This is truly a family friendly, fun event for everybody.
Everybody has a smile on their face, the drivers are accessible, and it
is just a whole lot of fun to see the dirt track racing, which
I wasn't all that familiar with. I would certainly familiar with stock car and
Ferrari rate all that kind of stuff, but this is I mean, man,
it is down and dirty and a whole lot of fun. Yeah.
There was more dirt car racing that goes on in the in the country than
than anybody would ever know. Uh. You know, if you really want
to really want to dig down into it, racing happens at those tracks and
tracks just like Kennadega all over and are much larger than than the big premiere
events. Them. Premier events might have a large attendance and a lot of
TV audience, but they don't have the in first attendance that these tracks have
in participation across the country. Yeah, it's it's pretty amazing. I had
no idea, and then I have seen because I know a lot of the
guys who drive, you know, Atlanta legends also go to other places.
Uh later in the season, when the season ends there, they'll go down
to places like North Carolina, where I had no idea that it was as
prolific as it is. Yeah, well, it's it's huge. I mean
there's sprint cars and late model racing all over the country and uh, you
know, do somebody great Northeast is a little a little bit of torn Island
for the type of car is the race up here, but across the country
that the dirt car racing is huge. Have you ever gotten behind the wheel
of yourself? Um? I do took behind the wheel too well, but
I got that now you you wouldn't want to get it in the fire suit
and climb behind the wheel and let it rip. I think it would be
fun. Um. I did buy a vintage car at one point in time,
and I thought it it would be again, being being the door was
a little bit smaller than I could get into, and uh it was.
It took it. It took a Houdini trick to get in and out.
So I ended up selling the car off. But we use it for promotional
pieces and I had a couple of my friends drive it. Uh. You
know, is you when you're busy promoting, you know the important thing is
to stay on that side of the race car inside the race card. Promoting
is two things well together. Yeah, I would Uh, I would agree
with that, honestly because those guys, I mean, you really got to
put all your focus when you're the driver on just that driving, making sure
your equipment is right and doing that. But what you have I haven't.
Land of Legends is fantastic. So I know there's racing that gets underway Saturday.
What time does it all begin? Saturday will be the kickoff of our
seventieth the Anniversary season at Tannadegua. Uh the pit gates open at three thirty.
Grand Day gates open at five, Hot laps at five thirty. Heat

planning, investment, and and good good employees and a great team. You

song that Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger did that I loved. They are into
farming. They are into farming, that is true. But what happens like
and have kids as we go forward with you know, you got ai that's
one thing. And then legalized marijuana, and we read this thing in the
New York Post where some guy was pitching him out, Mike Faristas Stone and
this one's stone, and that was I haven't seen that. I haven't run
into that. I think the people that were smoking are just doing it more
openly now they were already doing it. I don't think. I don't know
that. I don't think anybody knew has joined that crew. I would say
that I have Uh, I didn't smoke many many years. I guess occasionally,
but gummies. I don't mind a gummy once in a while, but
I'm not tell me every day the older generation trying the gummies is something.
Have you ever smoked? Yeah, I didn't smoke till forty one though.
No, no, never smoked. I have never smoked. Yeah, I
think about it. I smoked cigarettes my senior week college and my dad showed
up at the bar one day and said, sorry for all the women.
You smoked like a girl. And that was the last time I smoked.
I thought I was cool, he said, I smoked like a girl.
That's done. I thought the girls thought I would be it was cool,
but yeah, it was not. And I've never smoked pot. Well,
I've gummied. Yeah, I have gummed. Now that it's legal, I
have gummied very clear, and then it's legal. But when I mean growing
up near Woodstock, I think I got high with my driver. Contact.
Second, my friend's mom at a high school graduation, Like we were all
because you were sitting in the car with her and we're all passing to join
around this. Yeah you got high with her. Yeah that's did you pick
up to a dirty movie? Did you pick up her couch? Cushion and
Inhale the he and Bill Clinton. I had this guy at college at stake
Out Fisher. He had the hottest mom I had ever seen, like prior
to that. So how old was she then? Probably she had forty in
her forties, I think he. I'm not sure if his dad had passed
or uh. He was on the basketball team. And have you seen her
recently? No? But she married the mayor of I have not. She
married the mayor of of some small Florida town. Like maybe he's I don't
know, Sarah so somewhere down there. So she would come in. She
was so hot. How how was she? I used to walk in and
I would pick up the couch cushion and go, mom was here, Oh
so fucking mad, so mad. His mom was so hot like in my
world, like mom's were moms right right? And then if she was outside
that she was way outside. I've never I never remember any of this was
college, but I remember meeting. This is terrible because I just saw this
woman and she's now probably seventy five, seventy six, what's their number?
I like him. I like him between seventy and eulogy, somewhere in that
circle. Somewhere. I mean, I've been writing a skit. I went
from seventy to eighty to try to catch on the last few months. You
know, Like I was deeing this eighty three year old and I shut the
nose a couple of years ago, and I was ubering around and she and
I take her to Wagman as their doctors. She always had a regular uber
and she passed and kids like, you know, you know who you're.
You're Doug. Oh, you're the one that drove around. Okay, what
are we gonna do with the Mercedes? We should probably just give it a
you Doug. I'm like, yes, I'm so sorry, Yes, I'll
take the car. I always remember, can you get your shit out of
it? Wasn't that a country? So cried on the way to the chap
She cried to the grave. Then she smiled. And sometimes I get invited
to the will reading dating those old women, and you know, they're like,
who are you. I'm like, I'm Doug. I'm Doug. How
was your mother's friend? When? Well, when did you see my mother?
I'm like Mondays and Thursdays right after Jeopardy Anna Nicole Smith absolutely, and
you know they got to read your name if you go to the will reading.
And I'm just waiting, like what you know, and like you know,
and for my last lover, Doug Phelps, And everybody looks at me,
and I'm just like, yeah, I want to leave my favorite plant
and my cat mittens. I got thirteen plants and twenty seven cats in my
place. I'm going out of my mind. Wow. So this woman that
was getting a lot of action, damn. So my parents, uh,
they went to college up here. My mom went to naz my dad went
to Fisher. All women and all guys the respective institutions. Wasn't that cute?
It is cute? And then there was this woman that my mom then
went and got her masters at Syracuse and they roomed together, and I remember
meeting her, and I remember, guys, a little kid, I was
probably like somewhere between ten and twelve, and I went, oh my god,
I didn't know moms could be that pretty. So I see she comes
to my mom came up for Easter, and my mom pulls in the parking
lot and this woman's coming to pick her up. She's now seventy six years
old, and she still looks fantastic, like really really good. I'm talking
to my dad and I go, yeah, so and so was there,
and he goes, oh my god, he goes, Man, your mother
and she were roommates and they had a double bed. And I used to
say, to your mother, you have the most enviable spot of every guy
because that woman, he goes, she was stunning. I go, Dad.
I always thought this was like an awful thought as I got older,
But I always thought I didn't know moms could be that pretty. She was
that pretty. She was just a very strikingly beautiful, wonderful woman and still
that same way, still has that same niceness about. You can see the
beauty you can yeah, yes, and yes, And that's the wonderful thing.
You see somebody in the beauty is only skin deep and you're like you
were smoking fucking hot back in the day, and I can still see that
beauty right now all around. They don't. The one I think the one
thing that women don't appreciate about what men like is positive fun energy. Well
that almost confidence right yeah, now, hockeyness, now not that kind of
the the the current Brittany confidence, yes, yes, yes, the the
rookie confidence. Well, I'm with you because I think that I've always said,
I think that a woman is sexiest at forty or older, which sounds
weird, right, but I go on that age you could wear you figure
out who you are, to wear the bright lipstick, and they're doing there's
something and they know what they want, right. I'm sorry, sorry,
Bill, No, that's exactly they don't, all right. And I've always
as i've gotten older, let me rephrase that. I did not always think
that. At one point at forty was like, holy shit, you're old.
No, no, I go I assume that right. And now as
we were looking back, we're like, oh, yeah, but I the
gummy stuff is something. Because you're right, more and more people are trying
it. And I think my mom was up at my brothers for Halloween,
and so they're over at some guy us a chef, and they're making all
this fun food and stuff. He had gummies and they kept going come on
to my mother, and so she was going, no, I've never done
this, I've never done this, and finally she just popped up. I
think it might have been I don't know how many milligrams. I thought ten
was a lot. And it was over that. Did she eat the whole
thing? She ate oh thing, she got so high my brother face times
me going look at this fucking and just laughing her ass off, just like
laughing and laughing and laughing. And I think after that was a little embarrassed,
and then went to see eighty for Brady. Remember when she reviewed it
for us, she removed the god and some minor dey porn for out of
town. Yeah that I'm blue rid. The day came out Sally Fields smoking
a bandit. I'm watching at her Brady and smoking a bandit, trying to
rub one out. I'm I'm swaying to Barbarrella nine to five. They're missing
Dolly Pardon and I'm watching, Oh and Rita Marino, just thinking about come
on, Poppy, let's Rita Mara whatever. Rida Marino all oscar winners.
Yes, ninety, I think she's ninety, Yeah, close to it,
pretty sure, Yeah, I think she's ninety. But anyway, my mother
said at one point they ate a gummy and she goes, you know,
I can relate to that, yeah, yeah, And so there is that
with it. But I don't know why it took so long to do this.
I've never ever in my life and maybe yours either greg that you can
think of from when we were kids till now something going on or needy degrees
because I don't know about you. But in the fourth grade, the drug
counselor mister brand again came in. He burned marijuana in the class. It
goes, if you smell anything like this, you come fund an adult immediately.
It was the worst while you're eating paste, swearing got down that it
looked back and go. I think he was going I those adults get too
other of those. The reason why he wanted you to come tell him is
because he wanted to grab it even for himself. Yeah, wasn't there a
teaching chalk bit about like, okay, class, tell me what this is.
No, that's a band of goal over the brand of marijuana that it
is, well marijuana today. I from what I hear and understand, people
say it come it needs a restrictor plate like NASCAR, because you get you
don't know what you're getting if you're buying it on the street, and then
when you go into some of these shops there's all these different names and all
these different potencies. It's like the micro bruce. Yeah it is, I'll
stick to that. I know it better. Yeah, I can stay with.
My experience with the gummies has been that. I mean the has got
different. There are different like potencies. I will always do because I watched
a friend of mine take a gummy yeah and go that's not working. Yeah,
about half hour and so he used another one and then about an hour
later puddle. Yeah, just a puddle. So if I have a gummy,
I'll always and I always go on, I must be a whim,
but I cut it in half. I'll see how it works. So the
only thing I hope for your listeners I can contribute to if you've never done
a gummy as I had when I was out in San Francisco a nap with
my buddies, my college buddies who were pot smokers and love the gummies.
They're all into it, and I'm like, yeah, dude, I don't
do that shit. And they're like, come on, oh my god,
I'll try it. So my really good friend from Boston, he gives me
one. He looks at he goes, dude, just eat a quarter of
it. I'm like, it's just like a fucking little thing. It is.
He's like, just eat a quarter of it. Yeah, And I'm
sitting there right my quarter, and I put it in my pocket, in
my baggy, in my pocket, and I'm saying by the camper, I'm
like, this shit sucks. Man, I don't. He's like, you
realize you've been here for thirty minutes. You haven't said a word. But
what I then walked in the room. The next morning, I wake up,
I had Doritos and the garbage cannext to me, and I'm like,
what the is this shitty taste in my mouth? What I realized was that
more week, Yeah, my own room, man room, Yeah, my
own room. You know that is the funny thing is like the gummies.
You're right, because I don't know the Yeah, it takes a little while.
But I had a teacher in high school who told us you don't smoke
it. Because this was a high school teacher in Pine Play High school.
You go schol down my woodstock, and he said, it burns so hot
it'll melt the sonoring in a roach clip. You don't want that heat in
your lungs. So he's like, if you're gonna smoke it, smoke it
through a water bong, or better yet, eat it. So we would
have pop brownies and ship when I was. I mean that was forever ago.
But you could taste it like it really it tastes yet it mix it
in with the butter. Yeah, well we didn't do that. The butter
is good. Yeah. So one of my college buddies sorry interrupted, one
of my college buddies played football. His mom. He's down from outside Binghamton.
They came up. We'd always had the party after the game. You'd
have pizza, brownies. There was certain brownies. One of the one of
the pans of brownies had confectionary sugar on which my mom would make. I
grabbed that ate it. Oh big Dale, Damn, these brownies were good.
Have another one. God, I've never had brownies. Did it taste
so damn good? An hour later I was stoned out of my mind.
My buddies like, dude, those are my mom's pop roun. He's like
the confectionary sugar, I means the one that is the ones who got the
pot and it didn't you know that, Oh no, they didn't do that.
Well, there's there's a story. There's a favorite story about the Yankee
clubhouse where a rod like when he they were all taking greenies and stuff.
So they had two coffee pots. They had the high test and they had
the regular coffee, and one of the kids, like one of the ball
boys or whatever, just want to try coffee. So he pulls out the
coffee from the high test stuff like with the the greenies in it. Yeah,
the meth enemies, and a Rod runs no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, don't drink that. Don't drink that.
It's just coffee. Oh yeah it is, But why don't you try
the folders instead? That was adult car Oh I didn't know they did that.
Oh yeah, oh yeah until about two thousand and six. Then they
banned like greenies and everything was that was thatone were for focus? Oh yeah,
like Babe Ruth took him. Everybody took him like it was like they
that's how they focused his performance enhancing. Yes, there was one point where
sort of like adderall was a big thing with you know, magically threw out
his back once. Jim Layers is just sitting there like, well, I'm
not gonna play today, Hey kid, I hit my my back and Lats
has hung over from the night before he went out because he knew he wasn't
gonna play, or he thought he was gonna play, so he takes two
greenies and all of a sudden he ends up having like a career day on
these greenies. Wow. Man, this really opens up your mind. You
can focus. I don't think I've ever even hurt. What are greenies amphetamides?
Yeah, grahamphetamides, I don't know. And they actually when the stick
when the steroid thing came out in baseball, when when Baseball started cracking down
on performance enhancing drugs, they said, you know, some guys will probably
be like, yeah, I get rid of the roids, but do not
take my greenies. And production in baseball actually dipped for a while because guys
weren't able to you know, pop little green pills. Did not know that.
Yeah, if they did that, in like the business financial world,
there'd be a downturn in terms of investment returns as well. I wonder if
that's true, totally, kid, I've been a bigger fan of looking at
things like new tropics, which are these supposed to be these brain enhancing things.
And I think there's something called Provigil, And I remember seeing a sixty
minutes piece and Provigil was really people who had a narcolepsy, so we keep
them awake it would keep them from falling asleep. But one guy was using
an off label and he was like, yeah, I mean I can work
all day and I can spend you know, so much time with my kids,
and then I can get up and you know, I can sleep for
three hours and I'm fine. It's called anxiety, is well, I don't
it removes the clouds. Basically, he had more clarity clear he could all.
So I looked at provisional. I talked to my doctor. I'm like,
man, this shit sounds great. He's like yeah, and so he
writes me a prescription. My insurance wouldn't cover it a thousand dollars, like
a month or something you wanted. It's like, I don't know to try
it. But that was one that, you know, I think people are
always looking for whatever that is just going to give him the edge, right,
if you want to be successful or drive so far that year. But
this was trying to balance his you know, like, yeah, he didn't
have George Eastman giving him the bowling alley and the shooting range and the restaurant
and the dark room to develop your own porn. I don't know, yeah,
right, I don't know if kids are gonna have the same driver.
They're just gonna complain till they get what they want because people don't want to
hear it anymore. I think you're still gonna have kids are gonna have that
drive. I think I see kids that have that drive right now. I
talked to two of them today. Yeah, this is what I want since
I was fourteen years old, like fourteen, he would sell them. Yeah,
I don't know. Well, you you kind of can now, right.
I mean, somebody said that they want to start adding another thing to
the drinking game, where I say, uh, the barrier to entry is
gone. But I mean, by the way you do say that, I
know. But Gary Vee was one who said there's no reason to be broke.
Go on Craigslist, find something that somebody's giving away on for free,
take it, don't do anything to it, and sell it for ten bucks.
Ain't ten bucks right? And go and do your thing. So I'm
sure there are kids that have that drive. I mean, look, Jimmy
Z's I was just gonna say into the plug today he showed me some sneakers
that Jimmy's has there. Yeah, I mean I look at it. I
look at my friends and I look what they've done when we were growing up
and what they said shit about us, and we were lazy and had no
drive, and our parents gave us everything and all that. And you know,
there are some people that still exist in that and they're in their fifties,
and there's some that have worked their ass off and made something on themselves.
I think my son's generation, you know, Will's at Penn State.
I can see his work ethic, and I can see his friend's work ethic,
and you know, do they expect certain things? Sure? But I
expected certain things too. It's a it's a generational thing. But I don't
I'm not as down on this generation of kids. Now. There are some
because I'm like the kick in the ass and tell them they get their head
out of their ass. But sometimes I just want to do that with my
own and mine. But I would think also the other is focusing where your
interest is, where your interest is. That's why everybody says do what you
love, because you're gonna work harder at it, would work more for it.
You know. It's like, well you with comedy, right, I
mean, you're gonna do a lot of things I love, So yeah,
especially over seventy five. Absolutely, by the way, Rita Marino ninety one,
Jane Fina eighty five, Really, Tomlin eighty three in saley Field seventy
six. Wow, wow is right? Wow? Yeah? I loved her
missus. Do you know when you think about wrinkles, but all you gotta
do is turn them around, squeeze her back and get one of those potato
chip things and clamping The last about half an hour. And I don't need
more than that, that more love of walking. This laughter is always the
best medicine, that's right. Thanks does provide it. For Greg Connors,
for Dan Barrillo, it is franky on the What is that he has two
shirts? I'm Bill Moran. We'll see him Monday. They would have to talk
