On location and driven by Victory Dot's Gie Brown. It's Billified, the Bill
Moran Podcast. Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on,
thanks for telling her friend. That's how we spread the word about the
pirate ship. We're streaming on YouTube. You can find us on YouTube at
bilified. Subscribe and like you can see us stream there. We're on Facebook
as well, and we're back to where it all started. Not sure that's
what I thought that You are right, and it's Titan here again. It
is. It's tight. I didn't realize how tight it was. Do you
remember how we didn't have the iPad, we didn't have seventeen cameras. Yeah,
Dandy and I were both twenty pounds less weight. I was actually like
thirty pounds less. Where the camera's working? Okay, good, everything's working
all right, as long as we're there the Yeah, you, Kevin suggested
we should go back to where it all began. And it was one year
ago this week that we started the podcast and we did it from this this
table. So I'm like, well, and it went fast. Yeah,
the year went fast. Times of flat circle, Billy, Well, go
around those corners like a Nascar man. It speeds up like summer is one
of those fast corners. Winter is slow. Yeah, springs past well every
all month perview had I'm just saying it. Well, I was gonna do
Champagne since we made it to one year fell all right, don't take your
eye out. Yeah, all right, I have glasses back there, but
we can wave a little bit. We're not going to pass it around like
it's is it Corbell? No, it's not. It's Cooks. I went
and got cooks. Corbell is the next level. Yeah, I think it
is the next level. I just said to the guy, what's the decent?
He goes, Cooks is pretty good. Grab that, And that's what
I did, and he said, thanks Mark the Uh yeah, I mean,
I don't know. I was thinking about this because I go, boy,
faith is the elixir of life, y is? You know? Faith
is the adlixir of life. And it's the one thing that I think a
lot of people don't think about. And I had a whole bunch of conversations
this weekend with some people about like the guy who came in with the knotty
water and all this stuff, and I just think that most of us have
been taught and uh, you know, you're supposed to have faith and believe
in this, and and we we can't because we can't see it, we
can't touch it, we can't feel it, we can't smell it tasty.
And then nothing makes sense right if it's there, and you just have to
believe in something. Because I was just reading something recently, and it was
about a story about a guy who the gold rush in Colorado. Uncle goes
out and he hits a pick and a show all this, and he finds
gold and he covers up the mine and he goes retraces his footsteps, goes
back east, tells his nephew and they go and they raise money to buy
equipment. They get in there and they start mining and they get like two
big, big loads of gold and they have it sent to the smelter.
They pay off some of their debts and all this, and then all of
a sudden it dries up. They can't find it. They don't know,
they can't find the vein. So they sell all the equipment and everything for
a couple hundred bucks to like a junk specialist. Junk specialist who just just
buying the equipment, hires somebody who's a fault line specialist and he goes,
yeah, the vein went up this way and they hit up there, and
that guy makes millions of dollars. And the point is, you're three feet
from gold. So many times you give up. So many times you give
up three feet from gold, and I think, like, even with this,
you just gotta have faith. You gotta have faith. Absolutely, three
feet from gold. I'll talk about in church this morning. But that whole
well, not that's scenario, but yeah, but having faith, yeah,
absolutely, yeah, it's blind. It's like Jesus kept telling the apostles,
hey, I'm coming back after three days. Don't panic, and they didn't
believe anybody when they gave to tell the apostles. Oh no, he's out
of the tube. I don't believe it. I just walked. I don't
believe. So Jesus shows up and he sees the eleven and he's like,
because he judas, you know, he's done, and he goes, really,
yeah, I told you I was coming back. Why don't you believe
me? I mean you hung out with me for three years. Well,
you know the problem is that because we don't, it doesn't make sense,
it doesn't get pute, and so therefore we panic, and we get all
in our human head about it, and yeah, absolute, you got to
do that. But I mean, I even remember last year, you know,
I wanted to get out of this space. So I looked over at
somewhere else and then Mac says to me, hey, I'm expanding I got
space. I'm going to build it out. Well, I I thought it
was just a conversation. So I go and look at other space and then
I find out he's actually he goes, no, man, I'm doing it.
We're double sheet rock and we're gonna make this work. And he put
on he put a sign on the door that said future home of the Bill
Moran Podcast. And I took a picture of that and I put it on
my Facebook page, and I remember somebody else commenting nice signage, and I
remember going, oh man, and then look where it is now, right,
I mean, so the thing is like, you can never really listen
to other people. You just have to have you got to have that blind
faith. I don't know what else. You step at a time, right,
that is one step at a time. Yesterday, so I get a
text from my brother. I don't know if anybody else does this. He
apparently goes on Facebook pages and then starts making random comments to these Facebook pages.
So there's a Facebook page called log burner Chat Facebook page. The log
burner Chat Facebook page. One of the th worse you're sitting for? I
don't really know. So somebody writes the post was, we're lucky enough debatable
to have horses, so get plenty of pooh. They are never stabled,
so all the muck we get is clean and not full of straw bedding.
The wife bought a bricket maker, Yeah, a briket maker. Now,
a lot of people who have like wood shops and stuff, they'll buy these
brickmakers and they take all the sawdust. They usually wet it down and make
it into bricks and let it sit out for like three weeks, and then
you've got great fire starters or great things to just keep throwing in your fire
using all the sawdust. Some people mix it with paper, wet paper and
do that. So this guy's doing it with horseshit, that's what he's doing.
So this is his post. We get it. We get his clean
enough full of straw. The wife bought a briket maker and has been making
turd bricks for the fire. The dried out turns last around two hours,
still giving off plenty of heat and no smell about time they earn and they
keep meeting the horses. So some guy writes, we are vegans and make
our own I'm thinking, I can't tell if this is real or not.
Shit. They have nuts and pulses it sometimes twice and burn for around two
hours, and no one can figure out if they're using their own turns or
not. On this log burner page, and my brother wrote thanks for sharing.
I have a cat with a high fat diet, thinking I should invest
in a brick at baker too, next way to spend the clasy winter evening.
But could you imagine going over to somebody's house they're vegans, and they
go, hey, Danny, hey, why are they just grab another brick
and throw it on? Turns out it's it's their ship. It's another brick
in the wall part too, right. That's where my head was going,
yeah all in, yeah, oh boy, I don't know, I'm going
that's like that may be the grossest thing I've ever learned about somebody. If
they're taking there by the way, arrogant, okay, like you know your
your stuff don't stink, right, yeah, we're beIN man ours is pure
because ask my mom. So, like there's there used to be this weather
guy in Bufflet. I think he's still honest. Name was Mike Psycha.
I used to give these tips on the noon newscast because nobody watches the noon
except for retired people who garden. So he's talking about gardening and he goes,
you have to use horse manure. I go, mom, why can't
you just use like, you know, dog manure or your own She goes,
because it's not like horses just eat grass and everything. It's fertilized,
whereas ours is like full of garbage. And that's why we don't use it.
She goes, I mean because I asked her. I go like,
well, why didn't you just it was it was a logical question when you're
like at sixth grade, why can't you just use your own? Well,
how many kids were in your family? They're five five five with four lived
with my father and mother. My older sister she was, she was,
but she was from a previous administration with your dad. Yes, yeah,
okay, So because I'm thinking, like when you have a big family,
like there's money saving measures are usually taken, Like I knew a family of
five and their glassware was all Mason jars. It was like old mainaise jars.
That's what they drank out of. That's what they handed your glass in
their house, That's what it was. It was mostly people. But then
I started thinking about I go, because this would be like if I mean
it's a money saving measure, you're heating your house, you're saving on your
water. You got to be shitting in a bucket and you're pressing it into
bricks and you're burning in I don't know. But then I started to go.
At one point worst, I started to thinking when I was a kid,
I think my parents had of powdered milk. Did anybody have powdered milk?
No, you never have powdered milk. It came in a box and
you added like it was milk, blue John milk. I don't know.
It's all like milk flakes. And you poured water into it and he stirred
it up and it was it was it was milk people. It was awful.
It was I don't know why. My mother, I don't know why
she got it. I have no idea because it wasn't like they both worked,
It made no sense to me. U. And then was your mom
the person who made everybody drink water? And when he went out to the
restaurant, Uh not usually, which means yes, I don't remember. I
don't remember, because I just remember my dad losing his mind. Once my
brother decided to set the world record and how many sodas he could drink.
My father wasn't paying attention, and then he got the bill and they were
charging for every soda. My brother had like seven of them, so he
yeah, and Kevin likeon goes. I was trying to set the world record
for the most shodas you could drink with pepsi cola. And then, uh,
I don't I don't remember that so much, Danny. But when both
my parents worked at one point, you know, my mom, we had
somebody who came in and cleaned my mother sent the laundry out. But when
my mom didn't work, there was very little money. So I think that
was the time he had evaporated milk. Never had the floby though, anybody
have the floby? No? No, not the flowy flobe? Was we
tried that out at the old station. Oh we did, Yeah, that's
right. I couldn't remember when there was. Mary Lou, Tommy's stylist,
came in and tried to flow be us. Remember what She's like, She's
like, who had ever used this and brought it in? It was Tony
original box too, and man like when she used it, like on my
head, I'm like, I'm like, it's click. I'm like it's clinging
in my hair. It's like pulling it. That sucks as it cuts.
It sucks as a cuss because there was no mess, yeah right right,
And people used to do it themselves. You could cut your own hair.
You set it to a certain length and you could cut it's on those Saturday
and Sunday morning like TV paid television already made a ship ton of money out
of it. That's so funny. I'm trying to remember what else my parents,
because at one point there was it was like very little money, but
you didn't know it, you know, the minute it looked easy. No,
but I know, like the family up the street, they didn't want
you flushing, Like if you went to their house, they would say,
if it's yellow, oh yeah, mellow, it's brown, flush it down.
So it was all boys. And then I remember being in there going
to the bathroom and one of them came up through the laundry. Shoot,
it was just all it was was the laundry. The laundry was downstairs.
They just to put it in like a sliding bottom on the uah, the
cabinet, So they just slid it and all of a sudden, someone's coming
through as I'm pissing, and I freaked out, and I turned and I'm
peeing on everything. I'm pissing on the toilet paper. I thought that starves
no different, No, no, no, So you can still get a
flowy on Amazon two hundred and fourteen ninety five. Wow, let me here
by Thursday. Wow, that's the going rate or is that the rush rate?
That's the going rate. How much do you think you spend on haircuts
a year? I usually go every three weeks. Oh excuse I go every
six weeks. I can't deal with my hair being long. Probably four times
a year. Yeah, one hundred and fifty bucks. Yeah, so a
year. Yeah, and it's like that's like one cut, it's not even
a cot. You spend one hundred, you spent more than a hundred and
fift I spent less than a hundred a year. Really, yeah, my
haircuts seventeen bucks. I give her a three dollars tip. I don't even
want to talk about it. Sorry, sorry, sorry east Side. What
do you he gets? It's forty bucks just to get in the dark.
Yeah, he's gotta buy. He's gotta buy, like a seat license to.
This is as much as a product. Are you an easy mark when
you walk out? Now? You try the mono? I don't, but
I'll tell you this. I was on. Sorry, So this is where
I go. This is what's so bad? Like I like to think of
myself as I'm just a guy. I have been told by other people he's
a guy's guy. That's how I did describe him. Yeah, that's that's
our description of view. So I was told about my sister had some kind
of under I cream, right, and she's like, oh, you got
to try this, and she put it on me at Thanksgiving, so everybody
was buying it. She tried it on my brother it didn't work, but
on me it made all the bags to like disappear. And I guess this
got a viral thick do so does not drinking for about two days. So
I start using it and but it starts burning my skin. Like under my
eyes, like burning it like it's red. So so of Friday morning at
wake up, it's on fucking fire. Now I go to boxing and this
this woman goes, hey, can I ask you a question? She's kind
a question about what happened to your eyes? I go, I don't know,
I said, So this woman wants to know about MMA gloves versus boxing
gloves, and her son wants MMA gloves that are like two hundred and twenty
nine dollars I don't know, or one hundred and twenty nine. I don't
know. So I said, I don't know much about the MMA stuff in
this and and I go, I use some kind of cream and it burned
under my eyes. And this woman goes, I'm a Mary Kay specialist.
She goes, I got something and she runs out through her car convery so
now in this where I live, I have you have two different creeds and
under her bed, I go, what is the What the fuck has happened
to me? What look better? What happened? I mean, I'll tell
you what, guys, guy, what happened? I I've had dark circles
under my eyes forever. I can't get rid of them. I don't know
how I even sleep now. Thing, I just it's a hereditary thing.
I'll try anything at this point. We did get a black guy tonight,
Yeah exactly, Well it's hitting under his ram and we're bad lighting in here,
and Kevin wanted to come back to that again. We have cookies and
champagne and one year, one full year, one year, yeah, I
know, one year, No Mason jars though, we're actually drinking at a
real class, real classes. By the way, are the forty nine ers
the best team in the NFL? They're taking it to Philadelphia right there,
taking me Philadelphia in a big way here, and they didn't start out looking
that way. Here's the difference with the forty nine ers and everybody else.
They play defense, that's the bottom line. They play defense. Defense still
matters, and they're playing defense and they're I mean, let's be honest.
Okay, Philadelphia didn't play a great game against the Bills last week. They
had a lot of breaks. Yeah, and they've had a lot of breaks
the last several weeks. Now they're running up against a real football team.
It's San Francisco that doesn't make those kinds of mistakes. Now, San Francisco,
the knock on Kyle Shanahan teams is that if they don't have the lead
by the fourth quarter, forget it. They're like one in seventeen or something
or one in eighteen. If they're trailing going into the fourth quarter, they've
also blown fourth quarter leads. Look at the Super Bowl they lost to the
Chiefs, and look at his experience with Atlanta. They blew a twenty three
lead against Kevin's Patriots in the fourth quarter of that Super Bowl. So you
know, it's one of those things where if he could put it together for
one year, they can win it all. But they got to be able
to and I think they finally figured it out. They had a rough patch.
Yah. Right now they're the best team in the NFL. Yeah,
I think they are. Because Kansas City can't catch the football bills, like
can't focus. I did not have the Kansas City game on KNSDY plays tonight
tonight. They played tonight at Lambeau under the lights. And then I was
very proud though, because I picked Indianapolis they won. I picked the Texans
they won, and I picked the Eagles and they're not winning. So there
we go. All right, We'll take a moment when we come back,
Kevin has what do you have observations from the year? I just got my
year interview? All right, Year in Review, brought to you by my
Manscape. We will uh, we'll get to that next. But first.

Yeah. There was a local band called East Coast Connection. They used
to do this song. It would open with it. I think LVO was
in it, and so was the late great Joe Lanna. Oh yeah,
he was a drummer. I said this to I send this to my sister
and brother in law every year for their anniversary because the first line just the
like happy anniversary, baby, yeah. But the happy anniversary baby yeah.

Kevin was a guy who helped name the podcast. Danny says he's ready
to step up and and and join and uh and here we are a year
later, it's still rolling along. Here we are. Here, we are
back to where it started. I know a lot of thoughts a lot of
reflections. Well, I don't know if you have any reflections. I know
Kevin does. But if you have any reflections, Jump, I have some
reflections. Yeah, you're you're you're emotional. What do you have? What
kind of a moment I'm worried about? What are you worried? I don't
know. I just wrote, I just wrote. Okay, So I'm just
glad I made this leap with you and Danny. For me, it's been
a world when getting back into the game. I'm just glad that you had
the confidence that I have in me that for me, waivers from time to
time belong on me too. I was thinking waivers for you. You've made
some new friends and stuff. I'm getting there. Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. Sorry. Go ahead. In the
year, I've met some amazing new people I never would have met without doing
this, Starting with the dickhead to my left over here, that's a major
pain in the ass. I appreciate. Sure, he's got seven stories about
being a pain in the ass. I still love him. Anyways, I
appreciate that Clark meeting and getting to know Greg Connors, Stephanie Eyed, Doug
Fels, making connections with Damian, Tommy Burnett, Mark and Vineath the comedy
Club, reconnecting with Hillman, getting the no Matt Reese stop. I'm just
helping introduced you to Carmen Matt from Victor Christ and Sheet and bringing it out
of the family right. Getting on stage for my Make a Wish on hundred
eighty second comedy set of Iron Smoke was fun. Yeah. Best sat there
with a stopwatch. He was like, what how long was that? Like
sixty two seconds? It's gonna be thirteen seconds. Jack Wagon. The guests
we've had from the first show with Dave Kane sitting right where Danny. Yeah.
Yeah. Cano was guest number one. That was the first time I
ever got a contract high. Have you ever met Kano before prior to the
stuff? I actually yes. I there was a there was a softball game
the Frontier field and he played and I and I hit a single off him.
That was the first time I met Canoe and I never met him again
next time until he came over uh after you know when we all ended up
at entercom And I love Dave. I love working with Dave. We've had
Eric Bischoff, Jimmy Schubert, Slayton. You trusting my instincts with booking the
mystery guests, It's been fun for me. I know you hate the ship
out of it, but I don't hate the ship out of it. I
get nervous that sometimes a lot, just to pull back the curtain a little
bit. My concern is, does anybody know some of these people like Schubert,
yes, Slayton, yes, and we can make them interesting, but
sometimes I missed a couple of times. Here's the thing is, like I
hope that along the way, like I've felt like with the podcast, there's
been no rules because nowhere comes Danny. We're gonna get in trouble now for
what I want to talk about. But I was just gonna say there are
no rules and and the idea that you can just like my big thing was
like, I'm not gonna I mean, you can tell, you can tell,
because I'm kind of like, but I'm not gonna say, don't ever
do that again or don't I may say, Hey, it's just somebody.
I hope it's been a second no no. That That's my thing is I
always hope it's more of a a like a guideline and not a stern line.
Do you understand what it's like. It'd rather be that way, because
to me, that's not fun. And the fact that you guys have been
so willing to be part of this and do it, what's the point the
only time, I never wanted to look bad. But at the same time,
I'll do my own job of fucking it up. So the way,
I just wanted to say thanks for taking me on this ride and bringing me
along and let me well, I called and I called you when the when
the ship went down. Uh, and no one ever that even that story
is confusing to me, you know, with the radio said but I called
you and said this name, and you paused on the other end of the
phone, and then go the Bill Moran podcast, Billified the Bill ram podcast.
Because you didn't have any branding on it. I'm like, you got
a brand and I was like okay, And I was working with somebody else
and we did a logo together. And there's been some people behind the scenes
that have never sat in front of a microphone that have been part of this.
And I think as we go into year two, I think there's gonna
be a lot of changes, not not not not in a bad way,
like, there's gonna be some changes. I think the I think the Radio
Dazed thing and will start, and I think that there will be uh more
guests for this podcast and more projects as we're going on. I also mentioned
two other people that I didn't throw in there, that I just thought about.
It had been influential when the show was Foody and Angie. Yep,
Foody. I going back and forth on the football picks. He's really good.
I would think number one. He's number one. Yeah, I was
number one for like eleven weeks, doesn't matter. I know he caught up
with me. He's caught up and surpassed because you when I checked today,
Yeah, you know you were down by one by one? Yeah, by
one. That's pretty good. I think that's amazing. I think he's a
degenerate gambler. I think we need to get him help. Yes, and
I think we need to get helpful today. I'm pretty sure he's sitting in
a sports book right now. Yeah, so I think all sorts of Yeah,
so we have to. I think he's home already, and actually,
just to throw a fire on the over here, he's he's two down,
Oh he down? Well, yeah, right now? During the games that
can all change out. That doesn't. I don't think I picked Uh,
Yeah, I picked the Niners. I mean I picked the Eagles to beat
that. I took the Niners in this one. But here's the thing I
lost with Tennessee today. They blew it. I lost. Who is Tennessee
playing Indianapolis? My goodness, Like Shane Steichen, you can make an argument
here Demiko Ryan should be Coach of the Year. Let me let me tell
you why I picked Indianapolis because they have a coach they have It's almost as
fucking bad as that, to be quite honest with you, there's uh a
labrador, a woman who raises labs like Breed's labs, and uh one of
the players adopted one of her labs. So I'm like, all right,
because I couldn't figure out who. I really couldn't look at that game and
go, I don't know who's going to Tennessee's had a tough year this year,
and there's talk that Vrabel could go to New England replace Belichick. There's
also talk that he could go to Ohio State and replace Ryan Day, which
I think would be ridiculous for both of them. Ryan Day's a hell of
a coach. I was Jimarr about least Michigan. I would love for Michigan.
If if Ohio State left Ryan let Ryan Dago, I would say,
hey, Ryan, you want to come to Michigan and show him whose boss.
I was reading something to say that They were saying that Bill Belichick's trade
has never been his trade values high. They say he could go for a
first round pick. Oh yeah, yeah, really for a coach. Yes
yeah, well they did it with Gruden years ago with Tampa. It could
happen with with absolutely with your guy, he gets the right he but here's
what he needs control. He needs a general manager. He needs a general
manager. Now, if Bill Belichick coached in Dallas and let Jerry just pick
the players, no one would stop the Cowboys ship because Jerry can pick talent.
He just watch the coach it the metal. He wants to be involved
in everything. And it's like Jerry and his kid are really good at picking
talent. They just interfere with everything else. But Jason Garret should not have
been a head coach, let alone for twelve years or as long as he
was. I mean, listen, you're listening about doing doing football games.
He's horrible, terrible, but says the you know, Tony Romo, the
Beullified podcast. Yeah, says a guy who lost his sports talk show after
not even two years. Congratulations, all right, that's why you're here.
Your podcast is doing great and fine, great things are growing. Some thoughts
too about this? Are your thoughts? Well, first of all, I'm
glad. I'm glad you and I can reconnect. You know, it's been
it's been literally like six years, and you and I didn't talk much at
all for whatever reasons. And the last the last you and I had was
an argument. And I know you know, you were just you were you
thought you were looking out for what was best for me. And I didn't
tell you everything I had going on in my life at that point. And
why that decision I made that I know everything, I say what it was?
Yes, all right, so I get a And it was one of
these things that I'm gonok, like Nostradamus after he opens his mouth here,
but go ahead. I think you probably shot No, it probably is because
uh, somebody came into me and goes, hey, yeah, they were
trying to get it. Always a big fat with you. Hey, it's
more like the voice he does he's not really a big fat guy. But
Kimberly and Beck were a radio show in Rochester. They happened to be on
one station. They got fired, they got picked up by another station in
the market, and they were doing afternoons and they did a great job.
They were they did. They did a really good job. And that's the
one thing like I didn't always like some of the stuff they did. I
will, I will say that, but I never ever thought they were bad.
I always could look at it and go, they do really good radio.
I mean, he just did. So they were looking for a producer,
and I thought you were looking to get back in the game. So
somebody comes to me and says, hey, Dan wants to come back.
But you know, he's all hesitant about Kimberly and Beck being a producer.
And I under and I thought it was because sometimes they were known to be
tough, especially Kimberly. They demanding. They really they drove Pat mcmahonto therapy.
I'm not joking. Well, but they were a hive of Bozi Octane
show. And they worked. I mean they they both worked hard. Kimberly,
Yeah, they really did. And so when I say things like I
didn't always agree with some of that. It just would be like they would
go after people. They were like a dog with a bone sometimes and some
of that I didn't care. But I knew this and at the end of
the day they for what they did, it was fucking great. So I
thought were looking to get I was under the impression it's one of those offices,
like the office, like like somebody starts something like Michael tells something and
then so and then all of a sudden it blows up. It wasn't that
situation. I was minding my own business. This guy called me up at
home and I said, I'll listen to anybody, but I really don't think
I want to do that anymore. I got something working in my life right
now. I'm going to keep it under wraps, but it's going well.
I got a couple of options. No, no, that's no, that
was long Gong the life coaching committed suicide. We can't have a coach like
Danny Bridge. What what happened? One of the people I left coach Jesus
Christ. Now, hold on, come on, before, come on,
I'm sorry, before I I stick my foot in my fucking mouth. Before
before before everybody opens their mouth. When this guy was done with me,
he had a girlfriend, he was doing well, and he goes, I
think I'm good man, thank you. So he went on his And then
at the time, the wife that I had did not support the business I
was trying to do because she because most of my client tele even though I
only had like eight people at the time, were women, and she was
very jealous. She was a control freak. She was jealous. And so
I decided, okay, for our mother, Joel, give this up here.
Later, I get a phone call from a mutual friend tell me that,
hey, this kid isn't from trouble right now, and uh, I
got you want me to call No, don't, don't do anything. Just
he's in good hands right now. He's fine. I go, okay,
just got a real coach. And then another and then another another year after
that he ended up ending his life. And when he when he was done
with me, though, he was like actually like on the right track,
like he was happy and he was in a good mood. He found a
girlfriend. I think Danny could actually be a good life coach. And I'll
say why because his life is so screwed up. Was yeah, it never
was Danny, it never really was. Uh, that's sad. I'm sorry
to hear that. I Uh, I was going to say, when you
are with somebody who's always suspicious of you cheating, there's always there's always the
one that's kind of it's usually I think they're the ones. It's almost like
we don't like parts of ourselves, so therefore we project it on somebody else.
Would that be fair to see? I think that we'll do it.
I think a lot of a lot of us do it. We don't like
characteristics of somebody else's personality, and then we actually don't like in ourselves.
It's really, you know, we're all a little bit narcissistic. And you
got to stand guard at the door of your mind. Didn't really pay attention
to yourself. You do, but I've arned. I've learned a lot since
that. But thank you. I'll say take the bridge. As far as
to bring it back to this show, I want to go out and jump
off the second start. You might get a brokeriate, you might bounce,
actually get very upset, and I I, look, I do not take
any kind of suicide like you do. Not mean to make any light of
that at all. Uh, sometimes for some people. Honestly, maybe it's
maybe and maybe the people may think this is a very controversial statement, but
it may be just the the pain is so bad. You can't imagine the
pain some people are in. And the relief you get, the resistance is
gone and you're free. I don't know, I don't know. I've never
had to walk no shoes me neither. So but to bring it back to
this potry, I'm glad that you and I can reconnect. And it was
like just like the like nothing to change and everything was cool. Wow,
the grudges, but that argument was over that. That was the argument.
Yeah, I said, you were misled by of course somebody who know.
I just they told me that Danny wants to get back and radio. But
this is the opportunity. And I go, Danny, what the fuck are
you doing? Come back here? You know who says you're going to stay
there? You got an opportunity, this is a big company, come and
grow and and I did it. But I had, I had, I
had something else going on, which has been a complete blessing in my life.
Good. And you know, I'm glad that I, you know,
didn't go back into radio at that point it was over. I closed that
chapter in my life. Now one thing about this, I got to meet
you, Kevin, which is awesome. You know. I got to connect
with Greg. Now I didn't really I met Greg a couple times before,
but I didn't really know Greg. We all got to meet Stephanie for the
first time. Yes, goes through you. Yeah. So I would drive
back from the podcast and board she had her own billboard and she was holding
a science It's soul. She was doing real estate. I go, I
wonderf we should get her on the show because we haven't seen her the commercials
at all in a long time. And let's get her on the show.
Let's talk to her. And man, she just like she was like she
asked like she was really shy. Man when she when that mic went on,
Man, she opened right up. I have to tell you people,
I will say this about Stephanie eyed. I think for a lot of people,
at first, you saw this wild. You know, she just blot
blots it out there. That is one of the most sincere, genuine,
thoughtful caring on people I've ever encountered. I really mean that. I mean
I think she is right. I mean, don't you think because all like,
you see this person and she comes like full bore. She's telling you
all this ship, like the stuff that you're kind of like, whoa,
my god, it every You couldn't I mean people have said to me,
I couldn't turn it off. Well, stories only go so far. You
run out of stories. She's real, but she's that's who she is.
She wants, she lives right by it and having her and her mom on
in a in a very recent episode, you could see where she gets it
from. But there's a real person in that sounds terrible, but she she
is somebody who cares because a lot of times you'll find people who I have
referred to people as social climbers. They're looking to get That's not her,
That's not who she is. She's got a big heart and she's genuine.
Everything she says is the way people feels one the way she has acted one
hundred percent, it's all this. She's one of those people were like the
case you used to keep your feet on the ground, reaching for the stars.
That's that's Stephanie. Yeah. Yeah, he's done and she's done well.
And she's had quite a year. Yeah she had quite a life.
Yes, yes, I mean the story she could tell me who goes to
concerts by themselves as a woman in twenty twenty going through everything? So funny
you say that because she was doing a podcast with another woman and I don't
really know where things are at, Like the other two podcasts do they transition
as I don't know, all the other two podcasts that we're doing sort of
fell off. And I think it's because of interpersonal relationships between the people on
the podcast and from what I understand, bring it to the podcast say all,
I stay out of that shit. But I would say that, like,
so I see this other person who you should pitch these to. Pet
somebody who's doing a podcast with her said, there's some woman who has a
podcast out there called Date Yourself, And I'm like, the titles is that
you should have listened to fucking Stephanie. She's been telling people to go date
yourself. Yeah, forever? And then I mean that was the whole thing,
the artist way. Yes, right. It's a great book if you're
looking for creativity and I'm blocking. It gives you a lot of methods.
I will say that it's a lot of the same teachings of everybody, which
is basically let go of all your bullshit, yeah, and just move forward.
But this was a way to go get your creativity was to spend time
with yourself. Get to know you love yourself, because if you don't,
no one else is going to really give two shits about you. Absolutely not
gonna be good for anybody. And one thing I will I will say so.
I was an intern in twenty two thousand and two. I just graduated
from Fisher and I'd worked at WHIM. I'm working with Chet Walker and Beth
Adams and Bill Lao and all those people, and they're great people. And
Brad Davies was like the first real mentor I had. But it was sports
radio and it was news radio. It wasn't the radio that this is or
the radio we did at CMF. And I as a Bill's intern's responsible getting
Brother Wee's guests. And you're down there trying to do the best belching name
that belching Bill and then Brother Weiz and Tommy and Joe t are arguing with
each other who farted last, and I'm like, this is the number one
show in Rochester. I go, here's what I said. I want to
be part of this. And because because of a merger, and because I
got thrown into the mix with you guys with like Tommy and a bunch of
other people on vacation, it was just you and big Mark JT's like,
just go interface with those guys. Used to be using these big platitudinal terms
to interface with those guys. I go, hey, I found a bunch
of stuff on the the internet if you want to use it. And you're
like okay, And the next day you're like, bro, you got to
get those guys out who got swatted in Texas. That story was great.
Well I read everything. Yeah, I read it, Holy cow. And
you looked at me and you told me this later, mother ef, you
and I are going to be working together for a long time. I did
say that, and ended up being about six years that we worked together and
tried to take the bridge. And I didn't know that this would happen again.
I never thought this could ever happen again. Here's the thing is,
I always wanted to own I always you knew that. Oh he talked about
it for years. Oh yeah, this wasn't the way I would go about
owning. But at this point, after a year in I wouldn't change it.
No, you know. You and I had so many conversations over the
course of years about I want to do this, I want to do this
YouTube, I want to do this, I want to do this. And
when this came up, I'm like, fucket, you got no excuse.
Now, let's let's do it. Yeah, and we know what you need,
let's do it. Yeah. And I think that now, like once
you kind of got your your your feet under your just to figure out what's
gonna work, what's not gonna work, all those other projects. So sometimes
you don't realize the power that you have with what you're with what you have
right now. Think of Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley had at all except one
thing. He was in a fifty to fifty partnership with Tom Parker, and
Tom Parker like controlled his life. He couldn't leave the country. He couldn't
tour in Japan, he couldn't tour overseas, he couldn't go to South America.
He had to stay in this country in this box. And he was
trapped and he ended up getting into drugs and everything else, and it ruined
his life. So even like the most powerful man in the world seemingly didn't
have the power that you thought. I mean, you gotta like the power
to do anything you want with this well in the freedom to do it.
I am yeah, And I'm a big believer that you know, if you
have a desire and you don't give up, and you go along and you
have fervent belief, you can do anything. Absolutely And if you need a
different analogies along the way, you can look at Michael Jordan focus right,
and I think you can apply that to anything you're doing. And if you
want to use the Bible, it's the same thing. I mean, I
think here's something that came up this this weekend and I said this, I
said, I believe there are many teachers that have been on the planet trying
to tell all tell us the same thing. Put down the past and just
keep moving forward and whatever you want you can have, but you have to
fervently believe. You have to have the faith, the blind faith. And
that what I think happened with religion is I think man got in there and
started going dis organize it. Yeah, and there's power in it because there's
all there's a whole books that were part of the Bible that the Catholic Church
said, well, we don't want to. Well, we can't really believe
this is this is There are also books that they added to it too.
This is made up and that there. There's the message in all of it
is the same. The message is the same. What Tony Robbins is telling
you, what what Jesus is telling you. It's all love is the most
powerful thing. Go for the positive. Everybody's telling you the same thing.
There's many different paths to the same conclusion. But you can have anything you
want. You just got to fucking believe. And that's it. Believe.
Jesus didn't say fucking belief. No, he didn't say that. No,
you let me tell you what I believe. I believe around the holidays,
everybody sometimes needs a little break and a little escape. And there's an escape
right in a great It's called the Woodcliffe Hotel and Spot Hotel and Spot.

genuine people I've ever met. She she is very kind, has a big
heart, I mean, really kind of tells it the way it is.
I think one of my favorite episodes over the past year was when you and
your mom were on well I have a well thank you for these kind words,

another one that wants to call it. If you want me to get him
on the line, I can take care of it. You want, Why
don't we do it next set? Is that okay with you? Whatever you
want to do. Uh. Sometimes people get disgruntled at jobs. Oh yeah,
disgruntled employees. Have you ever worked at a place where you saw somebody
like go off? Oh yeah, you have, like go off? You
let me go off? Like they got fired, they quit. It was
a life coach, I went off with myself. No, no, I
never have either. Where I've seen anybody. I've seen people get fired and
stuff like. I remember one guy getting fired and I wasn't working in radio
at the time. I was kind of at an eighteen month sabbatical and uh.
I went over to the radio station to record something and they had set
it up, so I was going to voice something in there. And I
get out of the elevator and I see this guy pacing back and forth and
he gets to the elevator and I go, what happened? He goes,
I just got fired the e right just as he said it. And see,
yes, one of our friends goes. When I told him, I
go, hey, man, I go I didn't know, so and so
just got fired. He goes he was a producer of the show. He
goes, that's the best thing he ever produced, because it was like the
timing was I just got fired, the door is closed. I was like,
holy shit, holy shit. But this is a story I think of
a disgruntled employee. I don't really know. But listen to this. Wait,
yes, yeah, song sums it up. Long after winery employees at
Sparkman's Cellars and Woodenville left for Thanksgiving, a masked person clearly trying to conceal
their identity, is spotted on surveillance video casually walking to a side door.
Now they walk into a side door of this winery. Okay, now,
what do you think they're gonna do? Grabs wine, grabs, win The
King County Sheriff's Office says they access the winery and barrel room using an employee
keypad. Cameras then see him making his way to the back of the facility
where the wine is produced. Sparkman, one of Woodenville's largest wineries, had
just barreled all of its wine to age after a successful harvest. It's gonna
have a hint of Okay, do you think that this guy urinated in the
line. Either that or a boo bo okay, but tragedy awaits watch.
Moments after the intruder enters the barrel room, a gush of white wine is
seen spilling out of a steel tank where the wine was waiting to be bottled.
At this point, internal alarms are sounding throughout the building, but that
doesn't stop too twenty five hundred gallon tanks from unloading onto the winery floor.
He's dump them all. He dumped them, Oh wow, and dumped them.
But here's the worst part of it. Minutes later, the intruder is
spotted at the rear of the building, exiting toward a wooded area with an
umbrella, but the damage is done. During their escape, wine gushes from
the tanks and seeps all throughout the production facility. Video continues rolling as hundreds
of thousands of dollars in wine continues flowing. Only shit, could you imagine?
I mean, I don't know. Only year's work is gone. Year's
work is gone. Absolutely, you've lot I mean potentially you lose your business.
Yeah, and circles the drain. Months of meticulous planning and production gone
in minutes. The vandalism was discovered two days later when employees returned from thinking,
wha arms, that's what I'm going turnal arms are going off. No
one's around. Usually if it's a vineyard, somebody that kind of lives on
the property. He Sometimes if you go down to the Finger Lakes, you'll
see yeah, yeah, Thanksgiving At family owned Sparkman sellers, it's devastating news.
You only get one shot per year with each wine, and business depends
on precise planning and timing to get to market. Now they're left cleaning a
disastrous mess on the floor, scrambling to fill orders for customers, and left
wondering who would do this and why? King five new They fucking know they
know that. You have to know this is out in Seattle. Yes,
that you have to know, don't you? Russell Wilson after he left the
Seahawks. Me better blood does on a letter. Yet, by the way,
his wine is so freaking expensive, is it? Yeah's one hundred bucks
a bottle. It's like, dude, you wind it that good? How
do you know? I don't know. I just I don't know either.
I think you could tell. You could give me a ten A twenty of
fifty and one hundred dollars. I don't know that I could tell the difference
between the ten and the I don't know. I don't ever go to Greg
Connors will find out. I mean, that's the thing, is like,
I really don't know. I like, I really like wine, and I
can tell I could tell a cheap wine and I can tell a nicer wine
when I couldn't. I'll tell you this. I don't think I could tell
the difference between a twenty dollars bottle of wine and one hundred dollars bottle of
wine. I don't know that I could. And I wondered if in a
blind taste test, I wouldn't like the twenty dollars better than the hundred.
I really don't. Well, there was a time when you and Greg did
the taste test with Guinness Na versus regular gettings, and you thought the Guinness
Na was the regular geinnis It's hard man, Yeah, I don't talk about
like twenty verses hundred dollar bottles of wine. They're gonna revoke your East Side
character real quick. I'll tell you what. One way to tell is if
if there's a picture of a cartoon cat on your bottle of line. Probably
not that big a deal. Okay, I don't want to name names.
But if you do something like this, do you feel good about it?
After? Do you feel good? And I'm and I'm not saying venge is
a fleeting moment? Yeah, I believe that. I think that's a very
well then what very well said? Right then? The fleeting moment. But
because in the moment you feel I really stuck it to him? Then well
then in the end, right then what then? What now? Because maybe
it's one person at the winery that you want to hurt, but you've heard
every employee, families potentially, you know what I'm saying, You've hurt a
lot of people by ruining the crop for the year. I don't know,
because I go at some point you have to feel I would think you would
feel bad. It depends on how bad they were to him. Well it
does, but I mean everybody was an asshole to who cares? Yeah?
But okay, if everybody's an asshole to you, it's probably you can't spot
the a hole at the table. Because I always think, like it is
revenge really a sweet thing? Like have you had anybody try to get revenge
on you? I don't think I've ever had anybody that I'm aware of trying
to get revenge on me, or have you ever tried? Even I would
go back and you don't even have to answer. This is more of a
rhetorical question, but I'll tell you if I did. I don't think I
did. Like in a relationship with something went bad or no, No,
it's never been worth it. Yeah, I don't got to live to fight
another day. Well, I don't think it's it's worth it either, because
in the moment you're upset because you got to give yourself a little bit of
time. The next day, you ever wake up the next thing, go
what was I thinking? Oh? Yeah, why did I get off a
twisted about this? Yeah, it's just a football game, Danny. Now
you don't know television, but my god, twenty five hundred I would I
mean, that's that's gonna say. Twenty five undred Yes, and it would
be I mean you'd be crying. Oh yeah, if that's your business.
And especially because at least with a fire man you could claim the insurance.
You can't even do well, I was won w wineft. You've got you
have video of someone coming in to do it. Now, here's the other
thing. But you didn't come in stoping. The alarms went off, and
you didn't do anything. Wait, they were thank you. Now all of
a sudden, you're on trial because you didn't do anything to prevent it.
I wonder though, maybe they were in the Hamptons. Maybe this is an
inside job. Maybe somebody goes, you know what, this isn't a great
crop. It's not yourself. People aren't gonna like it. There for a
pink. We're gonna sneak We're gonna see it looks like lemonade. We're gonna
sneak it, open it up. We're gonna say there was a flood.
We're gonna feed it to the news. We're gonna get all this coverage on

We're gonna have a go fund. We're gonna be fine wine this year.
We'll give the wholess guy in Seattle chancel. Here's the code and all the
wine you want. I think the better roll still take a tinkle in it,
though, because they're not even gonna know that you did that. Well,
we knew a guy who was a butcher, and he had this problem
customer that he couldn't stand. So he decided to take roast beef or something
billy or a prime rib and put it between his cheeks, between the cheeks
of his ass, and the guy would come back and tell him the best
prime rib I've ever had, tender as ship brow was the best. That's
not gonna to day terrible that you statue limitations of the piggy wiggy have probably
gone past it. I don't know, all right, we will we will

like a year ago, just before we started coming December, rumor hasn't been
renewed for a second season. That's a rumors, that's really true. I
remember telling the program director from one of the local top forty stations. Don't
hear that song rolling the d Yeah, I said, bro, you got
to play this song. It's amazing, and goes yeah, we're about two
years away from playing it. Two weeks later they're playing it. Go yeah,
I know my music. Yeah, okay, Danny, you could have
been a programmed bro. Yeah I missed your calling. Yeah, you show

you program director. But that's the greatest joke. Danny had somebody online.
Do I have to guess who it is? Kevin or Kevin? If you
want to guess your canad doesn't matter for me. All Right, it's gotta
be Greg. It sounds like, is it Greg? It is Greg?

go. Kevin had a muted I am very impressed by the forty nine ers.
I don't know, Greg oh Man. They looked absolutely phenomenal. They
definitely are the best team in the NFL on that performance. Holy coute Ego
Samuels is the MVP of the NFL. He's amazing. It wasts. They
even got the They even got the Eagle security director kicked out of the game.
That's how much they kicked the Eagles ass today. It was their security
director got kicked out Dom. It's unreal. That was that was insane,
that whole exchange, that was insane. Yeah, a security guy put his
finger, put it in, put you know, touched in and his shoulder
pad and he went and pushed him but got him on the side of the
face, and so he made because he made contact, he's automatically out put
that security guard. I mean, that's bullshit. Who the hell is he
think he is? Rules want to fly a freaking the Eagle? That's bowl,
Yeah, says name was fat Dom. What do you expect fat Dom
gonna do something like that? Then he's gonna slip and fall and he's gonna
call you tomorrow morning. That's right. As to six of them, I
love it, love it well. Greg, thank you for all your support
over the past year and all the things we've been able to do and coming
to your house and doing the podcast on the podcast, and it's been it's
been awesome. It's a great year. I mean I knew when when you
had ideas of what you wanted to do, you know, extending and expanding
your career, I knew you'd be successful at it. And you assembled a
great team around you and that's what really allowed this whole thing to take off
for it and I couldn't be more happy and more proud of you guys.
Well, thank you. That's uh means a lot. And yeah, I
mean it's it's funny because you're right, it's been a lot of other people,
right, it's you never do it in a vacuum. And it's been
all these guys and and Peple, even behind the scenes and stuff. And
uh, I'm I am thrilled to be at the one year mark and look
forward to expanding and growing even more. Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary. Yes
we're drinking, we're eating, we're we had champagne, we're between takes.
Yes, we're back here next year at this time at the table too.
Well. The weird part is I forgot how cramped it was doing it from
my house. I'd like to get your hand off my leg from and then
and I and I remember thinking We're gonna have to do it here, and
I'm gonna have to get something with the logo on it to be behind in
front of the window. And now we've got a wall, and it's just
been it's just been great. Now in a hundred years, we're gonna one
of those historical posts outside of the apartment. This is where the Billified podcasts
started. So, Greg, how you how are you feeling about things in
Buffalo as we're seeing them kind of on the outside looking in at the at
the playoffs and some people are saying they don't think they're gonna make it.
Yeah, well, you know, first of all, the Bills are the
only team that can lose during the bye week. I said earlier thirteen,
it's over. It's over. There's nothing he could say that could be any
better than what he just said, killing me, Absolutely killing me. These
guys you get a week off and you go you act like a bunch of
any right, I know, without idiots, I don't have jobs. We
hang on. Was there something else happened? No, I think just Von
it's it's Vond. But you know, there's there's a lot of other things
that flow from that within the organization, that just as a distraction and that
we want, you know, one incident like that just create distractions among the
other guys and in the organization. That just it takes your eye and your
focus off of what you need to do, which right now is preparing for
the Kansas City Chiefs and to put your best foot forward. You dealing with
lawyers, talking to the press, doelling those things that distracts you from what
the goal is, which is beat the damn Chiefs. That's the number one
goal right now. You know, you know the whole thing about what you
know the playoffs or you know the chances I'm getting in. Look, the
Bills controlled her own destiny. That's it. You take care of business.
You're in and once you get in, you never know what can happen with
what the Giants did going in at the hundred. Yeah they didn't when the
whole damn thing succeed. Yeah, I don't like that. Take Greig well,
because God did they be do England. Man, he's got problems.
I just I just saw that on TikTok. Somebody that just put it put
that game up on TikTok with the time Eli Manning showed Tom Brady what a
savagy was that it's great show his brother too. But Greg, as far
as I know, when you talk about the von Miller the situation, I
thought that she has the woman involved, the victim or alleged victim has said
nothing happened, and so does that all go away? Forty million reasons not
to Yes, I understand that, But well, I said, does it
all go away or does this still become something at least internally in the organization.
I mean, Steve Sirke, you can answer that much better than I
can. But I mean, the action is the State of Texas against von
Miller. She's the compos she would be the witness of the of the crime,
and the crime occurs against her, so she's not cooperative and it's hard
to present evidence that could con victim of the alleged crime. But it doesn't
necessarily go away. And from what I understand from what I heard that he
videotaped the circumstance she did, and that can be admitted into evidence. All
they have to do is verify it and have somebody can then identify that it
is what it is, and it would depicted and there's a change of custody
to it, and she might not even have to test to by other than
the very you know, having there being a verification of video and that it
wasn't doctor alter that kind of stuff, I mean, and they can present
evidence through other other witnesses to that. So but you know, the the
thing for that, you know, my dad would always say, I've said
something showing for you know, just be polite and respectful to everybody at all
time. That's it, you know, from what I've heard occurred is you
know, she didn't want to travel for her birthday, and then they started
arguing and then he he allegedly pushed her and then he grabbed her. It
wasn't meant to be violent, but you don't. You just don't do that.
You don't do that to other people. And it's him putting himself in
that position and then creating this distraction on their bye week. Is the ship
that the Bills have been played with. It's just they can't get out of
an own damn way all season, right and by the way, he's still
that kidn't play commercial like they haven't taken that commercial progressive. It's like he
should just stay at the party. Come on, von I saw that over
the weekend on college football and I was like, oh, trouble on that
one. Then you got the other one with him with Stephan Diggs, both
dressed in Golden Bay, which is the great commercial. Now we got to
lose that one too. I mean, so now he's he's hurt progressive,
he's hurting our fandom. I mean, this is this is just getting silly.
You're right. Yeah. One of the one of the things about situation
like this I think we all should take away from him is I think Vonn
is an extremely intelligent what appears to be a normally incident. I've been around
him in the interaction I've had. I'm very, you know, minor,
mildly tempered person. You go on the field and you turn a switch and
sometimes these guys and you're at that level, you the line blur in,
the switch gets turned on an area in are times that shouldn't die. And
this is just a perfect example for me of you know, there's certain things
that you just don't do. And I use it an opportunity to talk to
my boys about it. You just don't touch other people. You don't put
your hands on other people. Because bad things. Only bad things happen in
that situation, only bad thing And you know, hopefully Bill's mafia can learn
and we as Bills Fads won't do that for the people, so we don't
get the same shit either, right right, And and I think I'm hoping
like most of this just kind of dies down and goes away and things move
forward. But you never know what these things. They seem to pop up
at the most inopportune times. Yeah, it's like those flags that they're throwing
third and seventeen. Oh, come on, really, I mean, honestly,
I think after they get back in on Wednesday and they do the press
conferences, he'll get he'll get you know, it will be a ton of
questions and whatnot. And then once that happens, I believe it'll for the
most part, because the investigation of the NFL is going to do and the
das off is going to do. I mean, that stuff takes time.
None of that will be done before the end of season. The Super Bowl
will be played and will probably be just you know, they'll be still conducting
the investigation. I don't think that this incident will have an impact on his
ability to play for the bills unless something shows that we haven't seen, or
there's some some other circumstance or another incident that could hamper his ability to play.
I think he's going to play. Yeah, I think will play there.
I mean, look, the WAWSE, your innocent, feel proven guilty,
and there's a whole process you have to go through. Now, there
is a the NFL has their conduct policy, you know, conduct detrimental ray
Rice. You know, as soon as that video emerged, he was he
went through a process, you know, ray Lewis. All the stuff he
went through, they had to He had allowed him to go through the process.
So I don't think that it will impact his ability to play now,
if he's focused, if he's you know, able to content and get through
all that to perform at the level we need him to perform at. He
hasn't done it yet this year. I don't know why it would change.
Hopefully, hopefully this week allowed him to rehab, but obviously he wasn't.
So, you know, von Miller was supposed to be the guy that we
had on our team if they brought in to be the stopper and on that
last possession, like we talked about last week, on that last as when
the defense is out here to stop to get a stop. He hasn't been
that guy post injury. I don't see him being that guy right now.
Maybe if we can get through these next five games and get into the get
into the playoffs, get into that tournament, then maybe his health will be
up where he can make us stop or two. But you got to play.
He's not going to be at that high level. But I think the
defense has played well enough. Yeah, the offense has just got to put
some more points on the board because we all we all talked about it.
The defense is not going to make that stop. And if they do,
God freaking bless them. Yep. Is he gonna to play because he's a
forty million dollars cap hit or should I be Matterrizing and be pissed because they
didn't let him go through the process. Well, I mean, but if
a matter of rising circumstances a little bit. York's a little bit different in
the circumstance of the Don't get me wrong, both allegations are absolutely horrific.
That's it's horrible. The horizon thing is, Look, they paid matter Rizing
his contracts, and you know, I fire people and for whatever circumstances,
you know. I mean I let somebody go recently because he said he made
a comment to somebody that I found offensive. I didn't like it. I
have the right of an importer to fire somebody, you know, I don't
need cause. Actually I think it was I think it was Patriots rule.
I want, I want my paychecks Patriots own you. I think, Yeah,
funny that you know in Vaughan, but I you know, unfortunately for
me, I try not to be It makes, you know, situational decisions
in terms of ethics, of character and values and morals. But you know,
I mean forty million reasons or so. I think it might influence some
owner's decision taking. Yeah, you can understand, yes, absolutely absolutely,
and you would hope that you brought him in for a reason. He's got
Super Bowl pedigree, right, he's one two, and uh you want that
to transfer to your team. So hopefully, I like, I think this
is this goes away. I don't think there'll be much too, you know,
much about it. I almost feel like the news cycle kind of passed
it already. And I know you're right. Once they come back and they
start the press conferences and the questions are asked and he has to actually answer
them, it'll be a little bit different. But I think this just goes
away. But then at the same time, I would hope that, you
know, like, if somebody's going through something that is violent, there are
services and things out there, And I always think it's a good opportunity for
people to realize that there are no socioeconomic barriers when it comes to this kind
of stuff. Right, No, that's so true, so true. So
that's the thing. Well, yes, Greg, I have one law question,
boy, you mean, so here's the question for those of you who
are listening. Guy, I know you're not big college football fans, all
of you, But there are four teams that made this thing called the playoff,
decided by a committee. Two were undefeated, two or not, and
there was a third team that was undefeated. They got left out. It's
called Florida State, and the committee decided that because they're playing with their second
or third string quarterback, that they weren't a good fit for the playoff and
they left them out. So now the State of Florida, who represents Florida
State, wants to sue the NCAA Playoff committee. Do they have a case
greg. So you can sue anybody for anything you want. The question is
is it wouldgitimate in this instance, it's not legitimate because they have no right.
There was no contract, there was no agreement, there was nothing in
there this that if you do, if you went undefeated, you would get
the opportunity. And again it's a selection. You're not entitled. They're not
entitled to play. They have the opportunity to be selected by a committee that
they all agreed to be participate to be a part of. You know,
you can sue them, but it's not gonna You're not gonna go anywhere.
And let's unless if they would have to say it's part of their understanding agreement
that the committee made a decision that was arbitrary and capricious, and it wasn't.
All they gotta say is we didn't do it because you're starting quarterback got
hurt, your second string quarterback got hurt, and we think that you're gonna
play Georgia, by the way, in that five to six games and George's
gonna kick your ass. You shouldn't have done that, right, arbitrary,
capricious. I gotta remember that when Beth yells at me for not doing the
dishes to be like what you're arguing, it's arbitrary capricios Florida over there over
the one a few years ago when it was with Florida International was undefeated and
they thought they should be in it. They're gonna, you use that term,
We're gonna have a von Miller situation here. Yeah. Yeah, I'm
gonna be the one call of the cops. Like it's like like a Tyler
Perry movie. Oh, she just does it because she loves me. Yes.
And by the way, I agree with the committee's selection. I agree
with taking Florida out in having them play in that. You know, I'll
say it's five six game. Yeah, it's the Loser Bowl, but uh,
I mean, and I think they're gonna get their raft kick. I
think Georgia is gonna spank. I think they're gonna hammer Florida State. I
think they're gonna win by over twenty points. Greg I would have made the
case that it should have been Michigan, Georgia, not in this order,
but Michigan, Georgia, Texas and Alabama, because I think Georgia hasn't lost
in three years. They lost their first game by three points to Alabama.
Yesterday Alabama lost to Texas. I think those three teams should be in and
Michigan's throttled pretty much everybody this season. Washington, I've seen that movie before.
No, I don't want to see them in the National Championship picktre because
they always get destroyed. Every Pack twelve team gets destroyed since Pete Carroll.
But you know, the committee went the direction. They went, Okay,
fine, so be it. But FSU doesn't belong there. I'm sorry,
No, they don't. Myself, I agree, and I think I think
Washington. I think in the semi final game. I think it's on uh,
I think it's on New Year's Day. Yeah, Washington is gonna get
hammered and they're and it's gonna they're gonna get revealed to be frauds too.
I mean, you're a good team, don't even wrong. But are they
in the top four teams in college football? Not a chance in hell.
That's what I can't wait till next year. But they go to what is
it twelve next year? Because the twelve Penn State's gonna be there. They're
gonna be thirteen, They're gonna be thirteen. Correctly, I have finally a
grievance on behalf of the state of Pennsylvania gets into their Like, so you
practiced law in New York. I know that's all right. Well, Greg,
if thank you for all the support over the past year, and uh,
we'll we'll keep rolling in the year two. Absolutely, here we go.
I love it. Here we go, Here we go, Here we
go. I love it too. I love it too. Uh well,
thank you, and uh, hopefully we'll see you soon. I can't wait.
You guys go Bill Bill big week. It is a big week.
This is our super Bowl. It kind of is kind of we've we've been
told we're going to get rings after this. Hey, we beat the Chiefs
again. It's over. Just kidding. Yeah, have a great weeks,
Greg, see you later. There he goes Greg Connors, Uh, Connors
and Ferris, why don't we take a moment? And there's one story.

it's it's we should just kind of do it tonight, Okay, cool.
Yeah, I was going to hold it for tomorrow because Matt is going to
be in for bt B and and stuff and it has to do with a
restaurant and it has to do with football. But you can get his reaction
tomorrow. We could still a reaction. We can still get his reaction.

are sneaking up on us. This whole past year has gone by so fast.
We're doing the anniversary podcast tonight. It's like it's amazing how quickly this
went well, You didn't get that list done at all this year, did
you. It just kept growing the list. You tried, but you couldn't
keep up with it. As a matter of fact, there's more things on
it now than there were at the beginning of the year when you said I'll
get that done. Stop. Give yourself a break, and I mean a
break on multiple levels. You know what I'm talking about, and called Mac
five eight five two zero two ninety two eighteen. Mac of All Trades can
handle anything. You need a room painted, they can do that. You
need a light fixture hung, they can do that. Got an electrical problem,
MAC can take a look at that framing out of basement. They'll handle
it. They'll dry wallet, it'll look fantastic. Mac of All Trades from
full kitchen remodels to just handyman type stuff like a bathroom door that doesn't close
properly, They'll fix it. Five eight five two zero two ninety two eighteen.
An online at Macfalltrades dot Net. The Street from my favorite album actually
Street. Yeah, it's rock song in nineteen seventy two, and I want
to go see the Stones this year. I'd like to see them in New
York at I think it's May twenty sixth. They playing at the State at
the matt Life. Yeah, do you have one thousand dollars laying around?
Not yet? That's why Fan Duel is here for you. Yeah. I
don't yet, but you know, you never know. Uh is the one
year and I screwed up the recording, so I gotta go back, and
I lost the segment with Stephanie and then I don't know how that happened.
We have at Life, I know, but it's it's a pain in the
ass to get off there. You have to worry about it. And I
have been drinking more than I have in a very very long time. I
have been very disciplined lately. Dan Well, good on my booze. Good
ten mounts. Yeah, those are those are word of advice after what was
one hundred episodes. Yes, it was temperance and I actually took it to
heart and uh stopped. So far it's been a bottle of champagne and probably
about before doing so four or five was Kevin's word salads? I'm serious?
Was that the word toss it? Actually? Now I have to do this
story because I wasn't gonna wait. So yeah, okay, Uh, this
is listen to listen, listen to this news story. This is real.
Well, this next story is almost hard to believe. A Greenwich woman issuing
a popular salad chain claiming part of a human finger was found in her food,
and yeah again gets worse. According to the lawsuit, Alison Cozy realized
it was flesh after chewing it. Would Documents say a manager at Chopped Salad
Amount Kisco, New York, to cut off a piece of their finger while
chopping arugula, so the employee went onto the hospital, but that contaminated arugula
was then served a cozy and other customers the restaurant. Most people said,
iw a salad? No, but I mean, could you fucking imagine you
know, I've never found of the garbage plate dann a f finger? Yeah,
well you wouldn't know how horrible head You're like chewing it and you spin
it out and you go, oh my god, it's flat, it's really
crunchy, Like I mean, wouldn't you like, because I'm thinking on this
podcast, Yeah, could you eat another salad? Ever, unless you made
it yourself? Probably not. No, it's got to eat the first one.
That's a that's a traumatic experience. That is a that's trauma, man.
That is like when they talk about because it's so healthy, you know,
like when people go cruciferous vegetables. Pain and suffering. Yeah, they
sue for paint and suffering. That's paint and suffering, is the prep chef.
Fuck, you didn't throw that shit out? Well, all of a
sudden, you just know because you probably like cut off a good chunk of
let's say, the fatty part of your finger, right, the proper turning.
But you know you're but you run off and you go deal with it,
and somebody else goes, all, all right, we got to clean
it up here away. We got people and the next thing you know,
the fingers got Holy shit. It makes you like, now we're gonna sue
the sous chef. The name of the place is chopped. It is a
chain. It's I don't know that they have any up here. I think
downstate there's something the Connecticut area for sure. Well, this woman was in
New York. She was in New York when it happened. But oh well
I remember and uh, you could look this up. Late nineties or late
eighties, early nineties McDonald's brought the McRib back and a dude bitting the mcribo.
It was there was a rat, yeah, come on, and he
vomited and he like he went back. He goes, look like the remains
of a come on, fuh yeah, that's ship like a well you know,
it's a weird though is then then I have to pause. So my
first reaction is exactly the one I displayed. That's my initial reaction. And
then I go, well, you know, in parts of the world they
put them on the end of the stick and roast them up and they eat
them because that's all there is, all they have. So I don't know,
I would rather not eat a varmint, yeah, you know, and
the rabbits considered a varment, but a rat a squirrel, I'd prefer not
to if I could pretty much. Yeah, I'm not not my not my
idea. All right, So it's the one year anniversary. What did you
want me to say? Why didn't you ask me questions? You know,
ask me questions, Ask me questions. What's your biggest disappointment so far?
My biggest my biggest disappointment with the podcast. I think the biggest disappointment for
me was some of the things I didn't follow through on to be honest with
you, it has nothing to do with it anybody else piece. No,
I think not. There are certain things I don't want to get into too
much, but there are certain things that I haven't fully developed, and I
think that that I should have. I think that there's been sometimes fear has
held me back in certain situations. But it's not fear of what's going to
happen. It's fear of I don't know how to do it right. So
instead of taking the leap and just doing it, like at least with a
podcast, I know how to do. I know, I knew how to
do the content. I knew that that stuff we could make that work.
But it's this other digital side of things and business side of stuff that I
think I've had a fear and I think so that would be my biggest regret.
Is that what you're saying the biggest regret. Yeah, it was kind
of just like tongue in cheek. No, I know, tongue in cheek,
but I think seriously like holding back on certain things instead of just taking
that leap, Because even if you took the leap and something doesn't work,
you'll bounce off that trampoline and figure it out, you're one step closer to
figuring it out. And I think I've been there. I've been down that
road, you know what I mean many times it's almost like the I don't
want to call it procrastination exactly because it procrastination is you know what to do,
and that this is almost like fear of shit, I don't know what
to do. It's like running up to the edge and going, fuck,
am I gonna actually fly here? Or am I gonna fall right down my
face? And uh, ten thousand bats a year go through that, I'm
sure. So I wish I had done that, And I think I wish
I had done things like tried to schedule podcasts where we were out at the
Montreal Comedy Fest and hey wait, we got plenty of time. No,
I believe me. There is and the year went fast, and there's some
things. But I think now it's like I want to cram as much in
as possible because I think this has the potential to go really big. I
think so too. I We're on to something. I do to what are
some of your favorite moments of the year. Some of my favorite moments have
been I think I think, honestly, it's been reconnecting with people. You
guy, first of all, you guys jumping in was has been the greatest,
but you finding guys like boll Uh and talking to Bowl and kind of
reconnecting with him. This podcast helped spur Bull to go back and start doing
his again. And I don't mean that in that that well, No,
Bull was doing it and then he stopped. And I think that he saw
us doing it and it made him do it. And I I think that's
awesome because he has a lot to say, and he's very talented guy,
and he's got great content. And the fact that he said to me and
he did he said this to me and I don't I don't think I've said
it on the podcast. I'm going to said it to you guys. Offward.
He goes, when I grow up, I want to be you,
And I think it is back to you know, It's like I'm saying,
fear held me back on certain aspects of this. I think fear held him
back in certain aspects. And he sees you doing and then you know what
good my thing is? Hey man, A rising tide floats all boats.
I think that guy, he's got a lot of talent. I always liked
working with him, and I think what he does is really cool. He
did some great interviews you can go back and watch on his podcast with Luke
Graham. He did with a couple. I think there's an actor forgetting his
name. Yes it is. You're right, he's the buffalo go to.
Yeah, yeah, but he's a face and and bolted a nice job he
did, not that I saw, but maybe that's my point. But you
know, so all those all those things, so that was cool. It
was cool to see that you were sort of inspiring that. I think,
like, you know, what this podcast has done for me is it's gotten
me. It's given me an opportunity to also expand beyond just what we do
here. Do those one on ones and I and it was your sister Dan
who actually said to me one of her favorite episodes it was the one on
one with Arman Shawbrook and one an inch resting story that was And I really
enjoyed sitting one on one with him, And there will probably be a follow
up to that at some point. I love the one on ones. I've
always said, you are very very good at interviewing people. Yeah, I
enjoy what you want out of I really enjoy talking to people, and we're
going to do a couple this week that will run more over the holidays.
One will be one is probably going to be Gary. One will be over
the holidays, Gary Craig, who is a writer for the DNC, but
he also has written some books. There's a big case that's happening in New
York State, so that may be delayed and may not happen this week.
And another one is a guy who used to work in radio and went on
to become I want to say, build a mini restaurant empire. Charlie Fitzimmons
will be one of his places. Last night, where'd you go? Trata?
Yeah, Trotta, that's right. That's another. It's a fun joint
downtown in the Armory, and you know he was one of the first places
in there to kind of make that explode. So all those things have been
been fun, and I think it's been you know, it's he kind of
got to get your sea legs because you're you're so used to it regimented.
I have to get this to this guy by this time and this time,
and now there's nothing, So you got to be somebody to kind of figure
it out on your own and that's that. That's probably been the uh the
both a blessing and a curse. I've definitely got back and listened to earlier
shows, and the show over the course of the year has gotten a lot
more crisp, like it's it's been tighter, it's just been better overall.
I mean at the beginning, I think we were just kind of throwing it
out there. Well, I will tell you, like the first episode that
we sat here, I was nervous as shit when I opened up the microphone.
I was more nervous than I think I'd ever been to talk into a
microphone because at the time, there were all these things like why is out
on radio and all this stuff and me versus another person in radio, and
it just it just really wasn't the case. And you know that's all out
there, and you know that's what people are frothing at the bit. And
I played it up a little bit in the teases, because I mean,
I don't live in a bubble, I don't live in a vacuum. I'm
I'm highly aware of what's going on. And uh yeah, so I was.
I was. I was really nervous that first one. And then once
we got going. It was fine. I hear what you're saying. I
always think that with anything in life, it's reps. It's reps. Right,
the more reps you do, the better it gets. The better it
gets, the better it gets. And I think that that has happened with
the podcast for sure. I'm just getting started, though, I just getting
started, Ladies and gentlemen. We are expanding. We're gonna go into merchandise.
Well see that's all the stuff that I'm talking about, you know,
like there's all these things like I've been really hesitating to get a T shirt
for Kevin is fun sized Dick. I've been nervous again as this panic attack
you know what, that's true, as I've been panic attack at the disco,
I've been sort of hesitant to do I have not won one on a
speed dial even the Radio Days podcast. Uh, just in terms of like
I just think it'll it would work. And I've been so that those are
the things that I wish I had just taken a little more oomph in.
I think there were some times this year I get like you're almost paralyzed by
fear in certain situations, like what am I gonna do? What am I
gonna do. What am I gonna do? A certainty? Yeah, And
I think you whenever you get that way, you gotta you just have to
step forward. And I think you have to really work on that blind faith
and believe in yourself and believe that this is going to work. And I
I never I never doubted it, but I just I wasn't sure how it
was exactly. I still don't know exactly what so far, so good.
God just shows you the next step. Yeah, all right, it's all
okay, you've got to take that step, take that leap of faith.
Yes, step of faith, jump and go, jump and go and what
else? Thankful for all the people that have supported us. Oh yeah,
everybody. Let me tell you. My buddy Shoots like text me like eight
times a week about this podcast. Let me just say something right now,
what was I I mean, everything disappeared for me, everything, And I'm
driving around. I'm driving around in a lego. Yeah, right, in
a lego. And then I'd laughed my ass off that night you came out
and in comedy at the meat Raffle. I'm like, really, I I
was driving around in the lego with a freaking bluetooth. I called it my
ghetto tooth. I had all that brown tooth. Yeah and so and then
it was, you know, it was those guys, come on right,
Victor Krusher Dotchi Brahms, step up. They've sponsored. He's been great.
We've been doing more and more stuff. I talked to him on a regular
basis. Everything has gone in the right direction. And all I can think
is, I don't know. Karen wants to talk to you Monday. I'm
sure does IM sure he's got a lot to say to me. What other
questions? Do you have? Anything? I love? When? Why is
Bill calling me? What does he do this time? I didn't do anything?
I know, I always I'm usually calling for a good reason. Any
anything else, anything I missed, anything you would think that I should.
Is there anything you regret saying on this podcast? Me too? Well,
it was funny though. We'll go back to I'll tell you like whenever I've
told old radio stories, and I've gotten myself pretty worked up, me too,
And I've gone at people kind of hard, and I've said things in
particular, probably about one person more than any other. Uh, And it
would be sum One, who's the the general manager of the Odyssey Stations Anti
christ and I don't think that that person is as bad as as that.
I really don't, And I wish I didn't say those things because, much
like the person who let the wine out all over the floor, at some
point you look back and go, what was the point of that? Right?
Well, how did I benefit? I didn't benefit at all. That
person's still doing their job. The people who like them like them. Nobody
knows who she is, nobody really cares. And truthfully, I've also had
nice conversations with that person. I've also had person. I had nice moments
with that person. And so what kind of shitthead am I? Did?
I butt heads a few times? Did I not always agree? Yes?
Is that what happens in life and in a job? Yeah, one hundred
percent. Does it need to be blasted like you're the great? I was
right? Doesn't right? Then? What? Yeah? So you always have
to ask yourself, Okay, that's nice? Then what So in terms of
those I regret kind of to saying those things. I think some of the
stories are compelling and great. There's a lot of plans to go with some
of those stories down the line. What do you regret saying? Danny?
I regret calling the county executive, a douchebag. He's a good guy.
That's not that wasn't cool. I just represented my feelings about a certain group
of people at the time. I regret ripping on Dave Lefroy that I didn't
need to do that, that wasn't necessary. I regret going along with Bill
when it came to zum mon Jesus Christ. No, I don't regret Someboddy.
I regret you haven't said anything bad. I don't think you said anything
bad about anybody. You might have busting on us, but you're a meat
bone in my body. Baby. Yeah, I a god. No,
I've got got a lot of them. Yeah, those are the things I
regret. Yeah, I mean, I there's no there's no point in that.
Well, here's what I've come to. Somebody wrote me over the weekend
because I talked about on the last episode that we did where it was you
and I and I said something about how I might have cried at that commercial
or whatever that was on Oh yeah, yeah, let's Chevy commercial. And
I think just because they go, you need to retire the name or animal,
and I go, well, I sort of already have and I always
was. But I think that we're human and you're authentic and you're real.
I can't kind of hide that stuff. But at the same time, a
lot of what I've said in the moment I was truthful about and passionate about.
I didn't think that a lot of stupid things went on that I didn't
agree with. However, that's from my perspective. I don't know what's going
on behind closed doors. I don't know what meanings are happening. I don't
know what plans they had. I would like to think that maybe some of
that should have been communicated and maybe there would have been better feelings, But
I also think that that's on me. I was a bit of a dick.
I was a bit of a dick. Yeah, we all are,
We're all flawed. We all have battles that were fighting that nobody knows about.
I think we're all walking icebergs. Joint see the tip, Yeah,
you don't see the rest of it that's going on. Tip though, I'm
just tip. But I mean, at the end of the day, everybody's
fighting a battle, So just keep your head up and just keep going,
do the best you can, and be kind to people. Yes, any
any any any other questions to see the regrets I've had, things I've regretted
people. You guys, this is very grateful. This has been a blast.
I love doing this, man. I look forward to it. My
wife looks forward to it because she can get the hell out of the house,
right yeah, because like she oh, it's finally quiet now, but
she's been on. Oh yeah, yeah, she loves who's been on.
Boo has been on, your wife, Carrie has been on. Yeah.
I think it's been a It's been a great year. I'm looking forward to
like year two where like Boo and Carrie get on in our places and talk
with Bill. Well, we've talked about that a lot of that and we
tried setting that up. Maybe we do it for over the Christmas break if
we can record one, you know, I don't know if they get Kevin
and I do a commentary podcast about that podcast, like has Mystery Science Theater
three thousand, What's What's What's carry Smoking? Have I said? Have I
not said anything? I feel like I got to tell you all the listeners
to everybody's downloaded this. Gosh, do you realize, like I mean,
you know how hard it is. People don't understand it's a big joke now
in society said everybody's going to podcast, right, but it's only the ones
that have real listeners that stick because most n podcasts end up dying after a
couple of weeks. Right, this thing has stuck for a year, and
we have a lot of listeners. And I would put this show up against
any show I've heard in Western New York or upstate and I mean national whatever.
We could do this. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a
part of that. You're a part of then you're a part of it.
No, I really believe it. You gotta submit to the webbies. I
said that to the other day. Yeah, I'll think about even like getting
to stick as to morning show a boot camp and go. And it's like,
all right, this is how you do a podcast. Every day.
I look at the I look at the comments. It's it's one person and
always somebody else different. Yeah, it's always Vinny Getty's yes, and it's
always comment. Well, that that's true. I I appreciate everybody who's downloaded.
I've been. I was a little like, uh, I didn't want
to say you were number crazy at the beginning. Huh, you were always
number crazy. At the beginning, I was, and then I stopped being
a number crazy and I just figured like, it is what it is and
we're gonna, you know, do fine it and it has. But on
the other side, coming into tonight, I didn't know what to say because
I don't want to look like I'm grand standing, like, hey, we
made it a year, because I go, it's a year. But on
the other no, but I've got issue with all you well the fuck you
know the December twenty third show, I'll say this that I have a lot
of issues with you people. The the subtext of this show should always be
fuck it. I'll do it myself because right right, because we did it
ourselves, we barrier entry is gone, the entry entry is gone. We
have I think, if nothing else, and I and here's what I really,
truly, truly hope. I hope that this this podcast is a blueprint
for anybody that wants to do a podcast, no matter what. You don't
have to do it the way we do it. It can do it.
But yeah, no, but in the fact that you can do it,
you can make money doing it, and you can move forward and don't let
someone tell you you can't don't believe these guys who have it. Believe me
when I say this, and this I won't regret, but I will tell
you that there are people in pretty high positions in radio companies that are freaked
out about what has happened with this podcast. I heard it with my own
ears. That's all I'm going to say. I heard it with my own
ears out of their mouths. They don't know I heard it, but I
did. And I just have to say, I hope for anybody else that
has ever thought, you know what, if I could just get out of
here and I could do my go do it so you can? You can,
And if you have any questions, find me. I'm easy. I'll
give you what I know. I'm not saying it's the right answer. I'm
not saying it's the only way, and that's not what I'm saying. But
I would love to see more people do what they really want to do than
be stuck doing what they don't want to do, and if this podcast in
any way can help that. And I'm and not to sound like a douche,
but I love the fact that we encourage bowl yeah, not even on
purpose, but by accident, to go back and revitalize his own thing.
I think that's awesome to me. That's you can find Bill's number on most
bathroom. Still on your side, Well, think about the people that came
and like because you did their own podcast through you or with you. Yeah,
there were several. None of them are doing it anymore. But that
just shows you. Like, But it is, it's work, it's it
is, it's work. It's work, it is. I did a podcast
for two years about sports. Yeah, I had all of ten listeners.
I did it every day, and I didn't do it forever. I did
so I could keep my No, my mom didn't, she refused. I
did it so I could keep my chops up to do a sports show case.
That of the opportunity ever came. Yeah, no, eventually got canceled,
chop, But here you are get those chops alive, sitting right there
doing it exactly. Worry Well, when we talk all the time about you
doing another thing. Yeah, they can teach you how to tell a dick
joke if you need. We're rambling, we're getting I'm drunk, and we're
I've got the vapors. Thank you for one year of fellas. It's been
on you, bro. I appreciate it. I appreciate both of you.
You're just gonna even bet Bull fired Foodie Angie, Mark Hillman, Mark Killman,
