twenty four on their patio kickback with a Maria taco and an ice cold beverage.

I did at bTB wood Fire Pizza and Grill and they are amazing. I
think Matt Reese was one of the first people to have these on a menu
in the Greater Rochester area. And Matt even told us when he was in
here earlier this week that Beria tacos are tough to make and he hasn't had
many good ones outside of South Carolina. But they've done it, and they've
done it well. At bTB wood Fire Pizza and Grill. It's on special

bTB at any time and get thirty percent off thirty percent off their bill,
food and drink if they have a valid college id bTB would fire Pizzing Grill

hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on, Thanks for telling
a friend. That's how we spread the word about the pirate ship in tonight.
A fan favorite. Everybody loves them. The Soldier, Good afternoon.
So I've had these for a little while and are those from our Are those
from our soccer? No, they are not from our soccer. They are
not. Any time you hand me hundred percent, there's somebody that usually sends
and they're usually joke gifts and all. Well, but you're a big fan
of al packets. My friend Steve Mills, who works for Castle, also
raised al paca, and years ago he gave me alpaca socks. Oh wait,
well, the al paka socks I had were just black, but they
were the best things to run in and I started running again. So he
brought me in some new socks and he dropped off these and they had alpacas
on them, and I saved them for you, and I've been meaning to
give them to you for a week because you're a fan of al pacis.
Look at that al pacas cool. Look that's what I'm saying. The alpaca
is on there. I thought of you. I go, that's that's pretty
nice. And Steve does a lot of racing stuff if you're into uh,
his son, his son actually builds race cars and drag dragsters and stuff like
that. So this is great. This is almost as good as my matt
Ree socks when you have met That's right. Yeah, that's so funny.
That is so funny. Uh. I don't know if you saw this story,
but I will ask you to think about this and then I'll tell the
story. What is your hold my beer moment? Have you ever had a
hold my beer moment in life? Like saying hold my beer? Yes,
and then you go and usually yeah, it's always like, uh, you
know, what was the red next day before he blows off his finger,
Hold my beer? You know something like that, hold my beer. The
reason I'm asking that is in New Zealand or off the shores of New Zealand,
there were some guys out on a boat and an orca and it's baby
were swimming by, and the guy goes, hold my beer, literally says,
hold my beer and does a belly flop either on top of the whale,
which I shouldn't laugh at, or or next to the whale. This
is what he does, right, And I think the guy got fined.
I think the equivalent of seventy five thousand dollars. Don't quote me on the
amount of money, but I'm pretty sure he got fined by the New Zealand
government because there are protection species. But he did a belly flop, and
I go, what is your hold my beer moment? And people were writing
in on Facebook there all hold my beer moments. I mean, I've I've
said it, but I can't. I can't think right now what a hold
my Well, here's my here's one of my favorite hold my beer moments.
There was a time where I was in college or just out of college,
and we used to play a lot of darts. My college roommate was big
into darts, so we had a really nice dart board in our room with
metal tip darts, and I got pretty decent at darts, and I think
I was losing a game and about to come back, and all I needed
was one bull and I would win the entire game, win the whole thing.
I I walked up to the board in this bar, very cocky.
I take all three darts. I dropped two of them. I looked the
firston in the face, turn around. I go right there, full's eye
machine makes off. It's big. You know the noise it does, and
I just go, that's that's my hold my beer moment. That's my hole
my beer moment where you just go boom done. That's awesome, you know
what I mean. Those are moments you get very rarely in life. Can
you have a whole my beer moment like that? Would you feel like a
dick? Though, if all of a sudden you freaking didn't hit it?
Oh if I didn't hit it? Yeah, yeah, Well I used to
do that a lot, where I would drop the two darts just to be
a cock or I would throw them down so it would like stick at the
very tip of someone's shoe if it was metal darts, and not really hit
their toe, just to be an asshole. There's always friends of mine that
I was doing this with. Somebody said when I was at an anime expo.
I don't even know what that is, and my friends convinced me I
could do a push up with a girl on top of me, asked a
random girl to sit on top of my back, and I rapped out like
it was nothing. That's a whole my beer moment. That's one where you
got a chick involved. That's a big one. It is a big one.
That's a big one. Matter lame. I have a lame one.
What's your lame one? Like when in the playoffs when Josh Allen when went
on? When did a perfect game? And the year yeah, the year
they left Skandasity thirteen? Yeah, how much? That was the game against
New England? How was at that game? Yeah? In the freezing cold?
So I said to a New England fan who made my life a living
health for twenty years, I said, here, hold my beer. How
could someone make your life a living hell for twenty zero because they were just
a fan rubbing it in your face? Oh yeah, you know, yeah,
a lot of losing seasons and I don't know it's worse saving a losing
season or losing the way the Bills dou Yeah, Well, what do you
mean? By the way, the bills do. Oh, I break your
heart every year? Yeah, I can understand that. I mean thirteen second
I say this all the time. Was their Super Bowl year? Yeah I
was. I mean I can I can totally see that. That was that.
I could totally see that. Somebody said jumping a moving train across the
bridge in Sacramento. This guy would would live in Sacramento, would hop trains
with hobos and then get on top and jump from car to car like in
the movies. Wow, did you ever do that as kids? You like,
stand on the on the roof of a car while someone drove it,
not the hood, but actually up on the roof of the car and surf
as a kid. I think I did it like about two months ago.
Bullshit, you didn't get on a fucking roof of a car and balance like
that. I know, I know you didn't. I'd never balance. I
would sit on the Oh, you would say, yeah, I have no
balance. I took a group of my friends to axe throwing for one of
their birthdays. I was holding a baby at a far distance and was just
enjoying being a fun uncle. So everyone could throw axes and feel were responsible
for an hour out of nowhere, my two best friends demand we have a
knife throwing competition to see who could hit the bulls eye first. We were
told knives were far harder to master than axes. I get roped in,
hand the baby off to his mom, grab a throwing knife. Someone yells,
go, I hit the bull's eye on the first throw. This is
it, This is your this is the turn back around. Pick up the
baby before the other two notice they'd lost while throwing more knives. I didn't
throw any more of the rest of the day, so I couldn't ruin how
cool the moment was. Yeah, you can't. You can't fuck that out.
You can't. Absolutely can't fuck it. No, no, not at
all. Well, this is like the unofficial kickoff weekend this summer twenty twenty
four. Yes, so there's drinking and partying and this is like a hold
my beer. This is your whole my beer weekend. This is you have
a whole my beer week You have a whole my beer moment this weekend.
You could set the tone for your whole summer. I think I might.
I have a big weekend. Wait, what are you doing this weekend?
My nephew gets married on Saturday. Okay, Matt's fifty. How old is
is your your thirty four to thirty five? I think? Okay, he's
in his thirty Yeah, and it's a good age to get married. Yeah,
then Matt's fiftieth. We're having a dinner at a Black and Blue.
Okay, when is that? That's six thirty on Saturday. So I got
an afternoon wedding and six thirty on Saturday. Wait, there's an afternoon wedding.
Yeah, their wedding is afternoon, my nephews on Saturday. Yes,
and then you go right from there to the dinner. When's the reception there's
it's it's it a power It's a small wedding, fifty people. Okay,
that's nice. There about two hours. I didn't interfere with us going to
MAT's fiftieth and match fiftieth birthday dinner. Yeah, all right. And then
my brother lives on the water, so we'll probably be over there on Sunday
doing a little bit of jet ski and waters. I don't know if they
have their boat, if they have their boat in the water in the yet
or not. Okay, but I think some of the people that live in
the in the area probably do. Yeah, but yeah, we'll go there
and no, and but so where's your where is your hold my beer?
Because the hole my beer could be could be moved on the dance floor at
the wedding, could be a speech you're going to give. I have match
fiftieth. I'm going to give a speech at uh at the wedding. At
the wedding because they don't have a wedding party, so he doesn't have a
best man. Okay, I told them would give Is this a second marriage?
No? First marriage? Yeah? I kind of like this, yeah
small, yeah, I mean he doesn't he doesn't drink. And oh he
doesn't drink. Wow, where'd you get late relders like that? Well,
he would he wishes he could drink. Let's put it that way. He
stopped. He would drink if he could. Yes, he stopped drinking.
I think my phone sends me or I shouldn't say sends me, but in
my feed I will get from time to time, you know, stop drinking
ads. Really I haven't even gotten those. Ship stop like the benefits of
no longer drinking. And I don't know. I swear to God, our
everything's listening to us. Everything it is because all of a sudden Today,
I had my iPad out and I was trying to do some stuff with the
iPad, and all of a sudden, I hear it goes, uh,
what was that? And I look over and it and then it goes it's
it's Siri and it's like listening, and it freaks you out. I'm used
to by now, well, I always think, like, what are they?
Who's the day? This is the thing I always have to go back
to because it's very easy to take a blanket statement go, well, they're
listening to us, we're giving up our freedoms. I don't know who they
are, and I don't know what they're doing with the information. Could it
just be a technological glitch that it just kind of went off and nobody's listening?
What gives the fuck about us? You know what I'm saying? Yeah?
I do. I do. It's like, you know, they're gonna
if they're gonna really listen to somebody, it's gonna be somebody. You know.
Well, shouldn't we feel that way? Shouldn't we feel that way about
everybody? Though? No, we shouldn't. No, Like, what do
you mean by no? I get up? Okay, who wants to listen
to me, I get up, go to work, come home. No,
No, what I'm saying is what like you're saying, who cares what
they're who's listening to us? But when it becomes like someone we're close to
or a friend or whatever, and we hear, we think they're judging us
in some way or whatever. Oh, don't we get weird? Yes,
you fucking get very weird. Don't even Yeah? Why why why? Why?
Why? Why do we all do it? I mean, I do
it too. I don't under I don't understand why. Sometimes I'm debating whether
i'm I'll say this, I'll talk to you off air because I don't know
if I should get into something. Didn't just do it? No, I
can't do it? Do it? Should? I meet the MIC's and then
we decide no, no, no way, but no, we'll talk about
it. I just let's put this way. I'm really, I am.
I'm I'm fucking paranoid and I shouldn't be because I'm heavily medicated. I should
not be paranoid. But I feel like at my job nobody likes me.
Oh, I feel like I feel like that every day and I and I
know it's made up in my head. You know, it's an interesting thing.
Yeah, but I know what I mean. I mean Mary, you
know mari Anne is like you know, tell me every day she is in
your head. It's in your head. And if they don't like me,
why do I give a fuck? Anyways? I because because it's a human
trait. We all want to be liked. We all want to be liked.
We all want to matter, we all want to be liked. We
all want to feel like we have some self importance. This is why a
lot of times we create the drama and we do the stuff. And if
you could all of a sudden step outside yourself and just sort of laugh,
it would be fine. If you took yourself less seriously, you would be
more fun. Think of the moments you've had the most fun in your life,
and what were you thinking in those moments? You you weren't even thinking,
You weren't thinking it was you were just in the flow. But this
is because you're a fish out of water. You're in a job you've never
done before. You are you've pushed yourself to do something that you're unfamiliar with.
It's only been a couple months, it hasn't even been a year.
Right, You're talking about people who have been at the job for a long
time or are freshly out of college with the latest right, and some of
them are more educated than you are because they have masters and things like that.
I don't have a master's. Great, So all this shit, yeah,
it's in your fucking head. If you just go be you. You're
a likable guy. You know what I hear about you. I'll tell you
what I hear about you on the podcast. I'm gonna tell you. I
didn't like Mark when he started, okay, because you know, all the
stories and stuff, and I wasn't sure what to think. I have come.
This is a message I got. I've come to have him become one
of my favorite people on the podcast. Really, he is just a lovable,
sweet guy and I love when he gets worked up. And I I'm
not kidding, I love when he gets worked up. That's what they said.
But he always has a point that this was a message, and I
might be taken actually more than one message and kind of conflating them in my
head. But that's it. So where's my hate mail? There isn't any
man, there isn't it. You're not doing your job. You don't get
hate mail. It's funny because I played old air checks yesterday. I played
some uh stuff when like when I was sending out air checks to other stations,
when I was on CMF more part time or something, and I was
doing I was basically like the greaseman shit and you had to hear it,
and I sent it out. I no wonder, no one ever fucking hired
me. For God's sake, who would fucking hire this? I think I
think I have it, but you always, yeah, you worry that no
one's gonna like it, And you know, I wish it wasn't that way,
you know what I wish. I I wish I didn't give a fuck
when I was at You know. All that means is you care when when
I owned back to abilities, I didn't give a fuck what anybody thought of
me. Yeah, because you were the owner, because it was mine,
yes, yes, and you had a little bit of power, right,
you were in control. In a liquor store I worked at, I mean,
nobody liked me there, but I didn't want to be. I mean
the customers most of them, like, most of them did like me.
Some of them didn't. But I didn't give a fuck. But I mean
I'm kind of working, you know, the new one. I don't know
it hit. It's in my head all the time, all the time.
It's bad. Does it affect the way you do your job? Do you
do your job at a fear of them like firing you or no? Because
no, I and I'm and I'm not an at a boy type of guy.
Yeah, a boy you're doing. Yeah, but it'll be nice to
get some feedback, nice feedback. And I don't really I really haven't gotten
it yet. Yeah, and I even really asked for it either. I
mean every people, every person I work. I mean, this is the
biggest opportunity I've ever had. And I love it there and everything everything's going
great. It's just my mind that you know that. Please have you done
this all your life? You sabotage yourself? Oh? Absolutely, you do
what? What? What? I has always been referred to in my life,
And my father said I was a master at this. I would you
know, it's always snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, in other words,
being successful. You know most people fail at this. You you somehow
power through and get it. My father would go, you have the jaws
of victory and somehow you snatch defeat every time you fucking like it is.
It's like a self sabotaging way because I'm not good enough, I don't look
good enough. I'm not this, I'm not fine. Whatever it is,
whatever it is, whatever it is. That's a really relatable thing that you're
talking about. I think there's a lot of people who are like, well,
here's the thing though. It's like, there's no I have no drama.
I go in and do my job and I leave. Yeah you know,
I mean, so you liked trauma. I don't anymore. I would
think that's true A long time okay, after uh, after Beta Billies,
Yeah, that was enough drama for for lifetime, for a lifetime. But
this so you go in, there's no drama, no drama, don and
so and what happens? What? What? What are people doing that you
think that they don't like you? Do they not include you in things?
You're in a predominantly at if I can speak, And I don't want to
say exactly what it is because you haven't, so I don't want to do
that. But from what I understand, it's predominantly women, yes, mostly,
and predominantly women probably somewhere around twenty years younger than you probably. Yeah,
what so hot, dude, you're their fucking dad. I know.
I don't want to hit with your dad problem. That's the problem. It's
not a problem. Get that, But it's not a problem. It's just
dad whatever. Yeah, I know. I'm just I'm like I said,
I mean, I mean, I'm staying. I'm not going anywhere, you
know what I mean. So it's like it's gonna be different. And when
I'm there for a full season, I think so, I think I agree,
you know, I mean I went in, I went in at the
end of the season. How are they? But has anybody made you feel
welcome? Yeah? Of course, of course there's always there's there's you know,
and the ones that didn't we want a fucking parade. Yeah, I
was the the Fuck's wrong with me? But I don't. I have no
problems there, there's no drama. I go home and it's great. Yeah,
I don't. You know what I mean. I have no really personal
relationships with anybody, which is a good thing. Uh, it is.
But every job you've had prior to that has been more intimate. Yeah.
When I saying intimate, I don't mean like hooking up and all that,
but animate you would talk to people. Radio was was well, we talked
about almost incestrable with the people hooking up and stuff. But but you had
that became your social circle. Yes, and you got to know people beyond
what they did. You get to know them as people. Same thing at
when you were at Time Warner. Yeah, and then the liquor story,
you saw all kinds of shite and now this is like completely different, totally
different. It's a total different animal and it's it's actually and I love going
in every day. I do. I do. I don't hate. I
get up every morning. I I don't you know, I don't mind going
in. Yeah I have. This is a find this funny. I've been
there three months. I'm June June fourth, and I have not missed a
day. Okay have you normally in that stretch of time you would miss time?
Yeah you would, yeah, okay, I mean yeah, yeah.
But the expectations are higher. You got to dress a little bit better,
and you probably feel good about yourself because you feel like you're making a difference.
I do you know, and I I mean, I know. All
this shit sounds really corny and people know, what are you talking about?
Tell me a dick joke. But think about this for anybody. If you
don't, if you're not excited to get up every day for your job,
find something new, find something that does excite you. That's the when people
say do what you love, that's what they're talking about. Do what you
love. Sometimes it takes a while to find that, and you set yourself.
You just said it. How many you know? When I say abatage?
I mean am I you know? And I'm not going to You're not
going to. No, not this time, you know, but I have
before? Sure you have? Yeah, we all have. Yeah, yeah,
I get it. So I totally did. Dude, I totally fucked
myself. I totally did. Oh, I know, well what in what
way? What? What are you thinking of your radio days? Yeah?
Which one? I mean? There were so many there's so many sections of
the of Bill Muran Radio. There are. Actually everything went pretty well after
nineteen ninety nine up to about present day. Not bad, not bad.
I had a lot of battles along the way, but everything was good.
Yeah. I think the one where I really screwed myself was God, well,
I might as well just tell it. This is bad. This was
kind of bad, and to a certain extent, my father will still bring
up this person in a negative way in my life all the time, all
the time. A woman, Yeah, girl, Yeah, do I know
her? Yes? I know it is you do. I totally know it?
Yeah you do? Yep, you do. Should I take a moment,
come back and tell the story. Yeah, I'll take a moment.
I'll come back. I'm looking forward to the story. I will tell you
the story. And it is literally how I sabotaged myself. And I don't
understand because I've done it over and over and over again in some way,
and I you may make me get to the root of it. We'll see,
all right, we're gonna do it. We'll get to it. Next

She always sells out at Iron Smoke Distillery. Fund out more at Ironsmokedistillery
dot Com is right here in Fairport, New York. Baby, all right,
I'm playing the song for two reasons. For two reasons. The first
reason is I would say, you like me, You get knocked down to
get up again. That's what you do in life, right, what's the
rocky thing? It's not what I think it was from Creed or maybe it
was rocky when you get when you get nunch It's not how many times you
get hits, how many times you get back up? That kind of shit
right, corny as it is. It's fucking true, yes it is.
But the other thing is you also have to look at it. If you
think of just the positive things, life becomes much easier, right Because I
always say, every subject's two subjects, and if we can look at the
lack of something, or you can find sort of the positive the other end
of that same subject, that's positive. So Mark and I were talking about
snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. You're about to win and you go,
ah, you fucking all to be true. So uh, probably the
best case of that for me was in the mid to late nineties. I
know then you did, and I was doing afternoons on CMF, and I'm
going to take you back. I'm going to tell the whole, the whole
fucking story as to this. I've never done this, so it's not this
is all off the side story that you never heard. No, you ever
heard it like this ever. I've told portions of this, but I I
ever told it like this, and I am going to tell it like all
the way through, and it's all your fault. So it's nineteen mid nineties
and in Rochester, New York, where we are now basically Fairport, but
Rochester, and I was on Rochester Radio at a station called w CMF that
had a morning radio personality that has was so successful. He's in the National
Radio Hall of Fame out of Rochester. National never syndicated, but you know,
briefly I think to Buffalo or something, but not in a national sense,
not in the traditional sense that we know syndication. And he got he
had a health scare at the time, Yes, and thought that he had
potentially pancreatic cancer. So with pancreatic cancer it's usually a death sentence for most
people. Yes, and now his wife, I think she was his wife,
then got him into a great hospital. But meanwhile the radio station is
freaking out because he had huge ratings, a lot of money attached to him.
He was, you know, the big the big bucks for the station
was that morning show. And they decided they needed to build what they called
a bench in case anything happened. We'll have other people we can move to
mornings and and hopefully not Sky. I remember when they brought in I remember
when they brought in Yes, I produce I produced her show. Yes,
So they go and they get so at the time I'm doing afternoons and they
just bought a new signal. It was a station that that was broadcasting I
believe Spanish music. I think it was a Hispanic station, and they were
going to change the station and it became known locally as the Zone. And
at the time it was going to play more of a modern ac whatever that
format is. But things like Chumbawamba that I just played, That's why I
also played it. So they come to me and they say, and we
have a position. We're looking for a morning show, and they were going
to make me mornings and they were taking me off afternoons on the rock station,
and they were going to put me on this other station. And so
they were bringing they were putting Bull and Bjshay who's now on another station in
Seattle. He had been on k W I think he's somewhere else now either
way, So BJ and the Bowl, and then at night they were taking
a comedian who became very popular because of the Brother We Show, Beth Donahue,
and she and I became really good friends over the years, and she
came in and did nights. So during this time, this is a great
this right here in this time was a great time in my life. That
was the most fun I ever had. I was doing We's show, I
was doing at the show I used to call Beth. She would go,
Amy, cap you drunk. I have other Beth stories they could tell you
too. Oh man. Yeah. So during this time, I'm engaged to
somebody I went to college with, and I wind up going out to a
Nighthawks game and I had gotten tickets through the radio station and the sales crew
is there, and that's never good. Some of the sales crew is there,
so then we go. There's an after party. So there was always
an after party after The Nighthawks were a lacrosse team, and it was Major
league lacrosse was kind of big in the nineties, and this team was very
successful in the Nighthawks. So we went to an after party and we're,
I don't know, dancing around and all of a sudden, and all of
a sudden, this chick jumps up and wraps her legs around me, around
my waist and her hands around my neck. So I don't want her to
fall, so I wind up kind of scooping her up, and the next
thing I know, she's like making out with me. And I didn't I
didn't know what I was like, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa happened?
So fast, yeah, yeah, and then it was one of these
things where she then needs a ride home. Oh boy, that's never good.
Nope, that's never good. So see, things like this don't happen
to me. And I don't mean to cut you off when I give a
woman. When I gave the last woman, I gave her ride home to
beck, I freaking smashed up my car and got a d W I you
you go, and you look up with somebody. Well, but I wasn't
looking to no, and I didn't know. And if I look back on
my radio career, I was uh not to sound. But most of the
guys radio were kind of slobs. I wasn't. I wasn't very I was
less slobby than the others. I'll put it that way. Well, you
were, you were. And they wanted me to be the night I didn't
understand why, but they wanted me to be the love guy on the soft
rock station at night. And the reason they wanted that, and I didn't
know it at the time until I was older, I kind of figured it
out. In the business is they could sell me to go out and make
appearances and I wouldn't disappoint. Oh do you understand what I'm saying I wouldn't
be the big fat guy. I would be a semi okay guy. You
could put out and you can't bring bull out. Well, you could bring
bull out, but you couldn't bring out the guy they had who looked like
he stepped out of the guy they had doing it locally. Looked like he
stepped out of a far side cartoon. He really did. Oh I know,
he was like a human far side car pizza ones. Okay, So
so anyway, now back to this. So this chick and I have my
college roommates with me. He had come with me and he he I'm giving
him ride home, and he goes drop her off first, and she is
somehow she says to me, drop him off first. Now did you know
her at all? A little bit? A little bit to the point where
I, if you asked me, and I found out she was single that
night, I thought she was married and had kids. Those were her nieces
or whatever that was up. Oh yeah, so I had no idea.
Okay, So now I I dropped him off first, and I wind up
going to her place and I remember nothing. I mean, things happened,
but not the thing. There was no sex or anything and I just remember
feeling awfully guilty, and I remember in my head and I don't know if
this was a fucked up thing or not, but I'm like, yeah,
I've done this sort of thing making out with somebody, even though I'm only
twenty four to twenty five, I'm supposed to be I this isn't this isn't
right. You don't do this to somebody else. If you're gonna get married,
you just can't. So I broke that off, and this relationship I
can't. I kept on. So now you've got overlapping relationships. The best
thing to do is if you're gonna and something, end it with everybody,
give yourself some time, maybe three months, figure things out. I didn't.
So now I'm in, and I'm in. Now I'm in with this
other person, right okay, And there's all kinds of stuff. And now
there's a holding pattern for me because I've been moved off afternoons on CMF and
they haven't launched this new station yet. It took a long time to launch.
It took a long time to launch. So now when my engagement goes
south, I get pulled into the big Boss's office and the big Boss says
to me, don't sabotage yourself. See we're just talking about don't don't blow
this up because they were kind of counting on me to be the fun upbeat
you know. Uh, you were kind of the new I don't know the
friends. You were basically the show friends on radio, and you were in
a relationship and all and all of that, your whole lifestyle fit this in
their mind. So I go, okay, so I had I wasn't more
animal or wasn't any of that shit, And I was going, well,
relationship goes sideways. They put me in I'm doing production, and then this
chick says, hey, this is where it's so bad, and I did
it. Why don't you get a pager so that way I can let you
know when I'm free and you can call me. Because this person was a
salesperson, had a lot of time in the car so I could call you.
So pay I'll page you and let you know what I'm free, and
that way you can call me anytime. So now you're so I go,
oh, great idea. So I wind up. Yeah, terrible idea.
So I go, I do it. And so now I'm on the phone
all the time getting out of work later, you know. But I'm I'm
dicking around. I'm deciding, you know what, this is great. I
don't have to prepare a show. All I gotta do is make commercials.
Leave me in fucking production. This is this is fucking easy. Well,
this is great creative wise, it's fine. I'm not getting up at three
o'clock in the morning. This is awesome. Now I go and I start
doing the show on the zone. I have no idea really top forty music.
I've only done rock. I was this other mir Animal, all this
shit, so I'm trying to make all that work. There was a transition
and you weren't getting great coaching because the program director, and I've mentioned him
before, we got rest his soul, Rick mackenzie, and I called him
Prick mcpansey, which wasn't very nice of me, But I just he and
I didn't get along. We didn't see ey die yea. I have a
lot of people who me no wreck, Yeah, I'm sure not, and
so he and I did not. So anyway, so I'm in there and
I'm kind of going through but I'm still now. But I'm with this chick.
She represents beers. She's out most nights I'm meeting her, I'm drunk,
I'm taking a nap in the afternoon, and then I'm out till ten
o'clock a night. And then I had one of the sales man see me
out and go, hey, you should really get home. You got a
morning show to do tomorrow. I don't. Oh boy, so you know
I kind of slink out of there. Well then this continues, right,
So now now there's in an event they want to have a weekly appearance for
me. Would be money in my pocket at a place with a reggae band
that plays every week. The reggae band. Oh boy, I'm just telling
you how I sabotage myself. This is all it. No no, no,
no, so I no know it gets good. This would be great.
So now I have gone from being in a steady, stable relationship with
a really lovely human being to now being with this person who's basically partying fun
and all this and has a different schedule than me. I'm not focusing on
my job, which is launching a new station and a brand new morning show.
I'm still clinging onto this chick because she's fun and I don't know,
maybe I have this fear of being abandoned or whatever the fuck I was going
on. So I'm out drinking almost every night of the week. I get
caught. I'm told by management go home, stop fucking being out. Basically,
they I mean, in the most polite way, stop being out with
this broad Go home and go to bed. You got a fucking show to
do. You're gonna blow this all up. So then the reggae band was
fronted by her former boyfriend Okay, who was also one of Brother Weez's best
friends. She dated him for a really long time. He had a reggae
band, very successful reggaeman, and it was gonna be like a weekly thing,
and they wanted me so I she said to me, you can't do
that. He you can't do that. His thing's there, and I'm like,
ah, so now I'm torn. What do I do? So she's
like, you're gonna have to tell him no. And they don't want you
out at night anyway. So that's why it's gonna be one night a week.
You know, you know what I'm saying. I mean, it's one
night a week, take a fucking nap and go. So then I'm hemming,
haunging. I don't know what to do. I'm twenty five years old.
Pussy's over here and the job's over here, she says to me.
Even my mother said, I can't believe he was gonna do that gig.
So now I'm like, all right, fuck it. So I tell them
I'm not gonna do it. Oh oh you just just that sound you made
is the greatest sound. I go, I'm not doing it. I'm not
doing it. I can only imagine, and I know who you and I
know who you told us to it. I can only imagine who did I
tell it to. You can say, just give me the first name and
I'll tell you it was BM right, No, there he was, But
for that station, it was t O t O Okay, okay. But
I tell the sales guy, who I really liked, I'm not doing it.
So they come, They come round about at me four or five different
ways, and I stick to my guns. So now I'm not doing it.
And it's because I'm using the excuse. Well, you guys are saying
I need to go home, go to bed, I gotta get up b
bah blah blah blah blah. Right after that, I must have gone out
with this person drank and I oversleep and I'm at her house and they're calling
my house and I'm not answering, So then they call her house and she's
like kicking me. It's like six twenty the show started thirty. I'm gonna
stick up for you a little bit, and no, but you get in
a minute. So now I'm fucking racing, fucking race to the radio station,
my heart to my throat. I don't know what to do. I'm
in the elevator. I'm hoping no one's there. My head's pounding. I
go in and this is when I think this may have been the day.
There was a became Wanda Miller, who was a local news personality replaced this
person. But there was a person I'm not going to say their name because
but this was the day. So I get in and right away we just
start with the news. I think I got there by six point thirty.
Maybe I got up at six fifty. All I know was after six.
I'm pretty sure I saw a six two zero and I needed to come from
the Bay on the Irondoquoit side to Henrietta. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
we're still over there. Oh yea yeah, yeah, went and road.
So I'm doing a million miles an hour down five ninety yeah. So I
get there, and I could have gotten there and within ten minutes or whatever.
But I get in and we're going to do the news first, and
the person does says there was petit larceny. Now petty is not spelled like
tom petty. It is spelled like petit, but it's petty. So I
let it go. And then at seven o'clock news comes around again. She
does the story again and I to look at her. I go, petty
larceny and she's like, or petit larceny and she goes yeah. I said
hmm, I said, I think you're saying that wrong. Third time.
Now it's seven thirty. We hit the news again and she goes, uh
and there was a petit larceny, and I go, what is that?
Robbery by midgets? I what is wrong with you? The word is petty?
You said it wrong three times. So now she's crying. My head
will wait a minute, I just thought about who it was. Who was
it cam? Yes, yes, yes, I remember this, Yeah you
got it. So now she's crying. My head's pounding, and the management
wants to now meet with me after. And now I'm told I can't comment
during the news anymore. I can correct people, but I have to do
it off Mike. And where was I this morning? And if you need
a backup alarms, most morning guys have two. This is all They're screaming
at me. Mark, And I've basically sabotaged myself. And then so now
I've got that. I said no to a gig. Right, I've overslept
for a show. I've gotten into a fight on a basically a nice Hey,
good morning. Everybody hate seventy five degrees in Rochester. If you're working
at FedEx today, shout out to FedEx. Here's chumbawamba. That's what they
want. Yes, that's not what I'm giving them. So now I'm hungover.
So I've overslept. They've seen me out drinking later at night than I
should be. I mean ten to eleven o'clock. I got to get up
at three. Probably not a good move. I have said no to doing
a gig that was going to be like the first major appearance, weekly appearance
for this radio station, which was really how you marketed it and how you
marketed a new show. Get the face out there. No, I'm not
going to do it because my girlfriend's ex boyfriend is the front. Okay,
so all this shit and then I wind up one day a sales guy says
to me, hey, can you I come out with a van. I'm
gonna take a van out. I think I had a car that they were
gonna detail for me at this detail shop. And I like these guys because
they were race guys and they had all this stuff and they did some really
great fabrication and body work. So I loved going out there. I go,
yeah, man, I'll go. I'll follow you out and I'll give
you ride back to the radio station or whatever it is. So I leave
and there are I wish I could show it on my camera here, maybe
I'll do it on your camera. Just real quick. I just want to
show this on camera. So what you have on a board they call these
they're called pots, but basically they're the volume. Like there's Mark's mike.
If Mark talks and then I turn it down, go ahead Mark, Yeah,
so you can't hear Mark. So it's this. It's basically this is
what even a radio board looks like this, So you would put it into
automation and so instead of basically it's volume. Right, if Mark talks.
We can make them soft, say something and then soft and hard. There
you go. Right, So what I did was I took two of these.
I left them down, but they were for CD players or they were
for the machine, but they played through these. This would be the volume
for number three. This would be the NIVE from four whatever. I left
like three and four down. So now they're all the management is out in
a hotel and they're listening. They're listening to the radio stations this day because
we're about to get into the big ratings period and we want to make sure
all the stations are in the right vein. Did you know that they were
in a hotel? I did not, Okay, I did not, or
maybe I did. I don't know. I don't think I did. Now
I couldn't have. So I'm done with my show. Everything seemed to be
fine. I leave, I leave the volume down on two of these.
So now it goes Chumbawamba, dead air, and then it would be like
I don't know, the police, and then dead air, and then it
would be a commercial and then dead air because every other one was left down.
So they go in and the engineer goes in and comes back because they
think there's something wrong. What's wrong with the station? What's going on?
We're listening to this? So they're calling engineering. The guy goes down,
he checks, and he says, uh, yeah, he left the volume
down on a couple of CD players. So I get a call. It's
like I'm home in my apartment and I get the hey, did you leave
the multi million dollar product? This is how the call goes. Did you
I'll never forget it. Did you leave the multimillion dollar product that we put
in your hands every morning? Did you leave with the volume down? You
didn't double check. It's a multimillion dollar product, and you didn't double check
that you did this? And I said, yep, I guess, So
I go, I mean, what am I gonna say? I go,
No, not me. Someone came in and sabotaged it. I probably should
have said that, but I thought, ah, I guess I did.
I didn't. I didn't realize, well, you know, we want to
see you back at five o'clock. Oh so I know. Yeah, So
now I know I'm getting fired. I know it because, like I said,
and I used to after this, I referred to it as my the
bat blue period. I did that because Van go had his blue period when
he was depressed and he chopped off his ear. Okay, I said,
this is my bat blue period because I was drunk and waking up in some
chick's bed when I shouldn't have been. This is terrible for my children to
hear, but it's true and it happened, and uh it was way before
their mom and I uh so, yeah, I go in there. It's
five o'clock and I figure I'm gonna walk like and they go, you can't
go past the lobby and they go what they go, they gotta sit right
there, can't go in. So now all the same house people come back.
Heay, man, what are you doing here? We're not I used
to seeing you this time of day. What's going on? Blah blah blah.
I don't know. Hey, everybody's talking to me, stopping. What's
happening? You know? All this that, and then and then I get
called back and I'm fired. That's why radio people are dicks. Why they
should have put you in a conference. So okay, so yeah, I
agree. So this is where and I've told this portions of this story,
but not the whole thing with the electronic I mean, I was I don't
know what it is. I was getting late, I guess, and so
I agreed to a electronic leash. And I kept going out and I didn't
care, and I wasn't you know, I keep drinking. I just liked
hanging out with this chicken. It was fun and not thinking. So uh,
yeah, they pulled me in and that's when it was me and the
program director and the guy who's in charge of the stations, right and I
they say something and I go, and that's something my contract says, mark.
Uh. Throughout my radio career, I didn't read my contracts. Yeah.
I missed a raise one time. They gave it to me retroactively because
I didn't even realize I missed a raise. I just didn't care. It
wasn't about the money for me. I just have fun. But in this
moment, years later, when I got higher and higher, like bigger and
ras, I got an agent because I knew the contract and they would pull
all kinds of shit out of it, and I got to see every shitty
thing they put in these contracts. By my agent would go, he's not
doing that, take it out, take it out, and they would take
it out because they were taking it out for others around the country, but
in Rochester they think give a fuck that you sign. It was always one
hundred percent in favor of them, not you. They had all the cards,
so I mean, there were things like you had to do free,
and I got all that shit taken out of mind, all of it,
even right down to you had They had the writer first refusal for thirty days.
Who can find a fucking job in thirty days. They knew you can't
find any job, but let alone an equivalent job in thirty fucking days.
Right, you have to tell them within thirty days if you're before. Oh
no, it was thirty days before you could talk to anybody else. So
I got that taken out and I was allowed ninety days, which was never
heard of in this market. So anyway, just to let you go.
So I lie and I go, that's not my contract, and the guy
go. So the guy who's the program director starts stammering. I go,
eh, no, it's not. I'm twenty five years old. Do you
think I have no idea? So he sits there and the guy who's in
charge says, we'll go get his guy. Do you have his contract here?
And the guy says no, he goes, why don't you have his
contract? Here? He goes, He goes go get his contract. So
the guy goes scurrying off. All I wanted to do was remove the Pannyweight
program director out of the room. And I look at this guy and I
go, you are a real piece of shit. And he goes, what
I said, You knew you were doing this when you called me this morning
that we couldn't have met for lunch, but you got to prade me back
here at five o'clock. You're gonna be here till seven o'clock time. You
couldn't have me come at seven and fire me? Then you knew at at
as soon as those volumes were down, you knew. And I'm not saying
I didn't deserve to be fired. I said this to him. I get
it. I know what I did, but you made me sit you fucking
cunt. Sorry damn, But I didn't say cunt. I decided. I
just said I did. I said, you're a piece of shit. You're
a piece of shit for making me, and this is somebody who you liked.
I was okay with the guy. Uh, we've had I had problems
with him later on after that too, on a personal level with something,
but that had nothing to do with anything, and uh and then so I
get fired, and I remember walking out of the station and being so fucking
pissed that I launched my keys because now I didn't know what I was gonna
do. I launched my keys across the parking lot and now I'm stuck and
I can't I can't find them. Oh man, you can do it.
I can't fucking find my keys. Mark. I've launched them now in the
back big parking lot along this building. It's dark, it's dusk. I
don't even know what time of year was. I fucking rah, it's that
of piss because that's me. I get so pissed that. I mean,
I've broken this hand from boxing. But also once it breaks, it's easy.
I've hit walls. That's why I always in boxing classes say first two
knuckles boom that way. But it's easy. When most people punch and they're
hitting with these you don't want to do that's fragile bone. I say that
because I know it. But so I threw the keys, and I had
to have that chick come out with a flashlight and look, and we found
the keys. Did anybody walk by you. When when when you were out
there and they would he come by you. It's just standing there. He
was had to be standing there by yourself. I was. I think I
was like up against the building. I don't know. I was in the
back. Most people went out the front, that's true. Yeah, so
I didn't. But there you go. That's it start to finish. How
long was that were you at the zone from from I don't think I lasted
a year. I think I was there nine months. I think I was
there nine months. I think I was on the station nine months because afternoons
was going fine, and I understood what they were doing, going and getting
BJ. They they were very scared about what was happening with Weeza's health at
that time. Right now, we don't know what happened with Wees's health later
on, and we know that he did well and he's still in the radio
today, so that's that's a wonderful thing. But in this moment, they
weren't, and so they decided, well, we should get all the people
and at least keep this momentum going because what he did in radio, and
I think that there are a lot of people I think he and I have
always had a great relationship when I was on his team, and I was
the biggest enemy when I wasn't on it. Well, it's not so much
him, but I would say one or two things, but I always wound
up carrying the water, even for when somebody else said something. I mean,
I carried the water when like Sandra Dorley was just in the news before
she was the district attorney. She was the she was like the next in
charge under the district attorney. Okay, somebody on the show that I'm on,
it was just he and I and a show called The break Room refers
to her as the word. I just used, the awful word. I
just spit out WHOA but doesn't say it, just says comes up close.
But all I need to do in communication is get the idea from my head
to yours. Right, Okay, So he did that. I had the
DA call me and scream at me because that guy said something. I carried
the water for all the shit like I did, it just didn't happen.
I don't know why. It was always me so with wee'z and I think
even on the podcast, I've said things that I know people have repeated back
or have told me I was talking with Weez, you said you did it,
and I go, oh, I might have said it, but I
didn't mean it like that. My point is, at that time in radio,
what he was doing was unprecedented in the ratings. You've never seen ratings
like that. You can go back in the truly in the history. So
the radio station management wanted to protect that. That was a tremendous amount of
revenue they were getting off those ratings. If that, if he went away,
how do we keep this show afloat? Can we get these other people
who have been associated with him and keep it going. It's happened in other
markets. A guy named Kik Kratick died. I think they still call it
the kik Cratic Morning Show. He's been dead for almost a decade, so
I mean, you know, it's not an unprecedented thing. So they went
and they got these other people, and that's where I wound up off.
I decided to end a relationship, and I went right in the shitter.
See that's the problem for these women. I tell you, well, it's
my fault. Well you were twenty five, but it's all my fault.
I could I could have things in my pants, kept myself in check,
kept my tongue in my mouth, and realized what the opportunity I had in
front of me with the career and the person I was with, a lovely
human being, really really lovely. I can say nothing bad about that person,
right, right, But you know, I can say a lot of
bad things about me. But you know, it's fun a lot twenty five
years old and that kind of thing. I mean, that's what you're supposed
to do. You're supposed to go out. I mean, still ten.
I mean I was never on the level you were at, but I used
to do them. I used to do the most in Coors Beer promotions and
I would I would go I would go to Woodies and I'd stay at Woodies
until like three in the morning. I'd walk over and go to the HSBC
building, take a nap in the studio, yeah, on that gross couch,
and then do this, you know, and then then help you know.
I was assistant producer of the show at that time, and I would
do that. I'd set everything off and stuff like that, and then I'd
go home and sleep and I'd do it over again. Yeah, And I
mean, but you could do that back then you could and you could too
because you were more of a side character. Well I'm seeing you. Our
bodies could do it. Yeah, oh yeah, our bodies could do it.
Yeah yeah, I could withstand that. Yeah. And then as time
went on, you know, I I once I was out of radio and
I had another job and I didn't like it. And then there was somebody
became in charge of stations. They were a big fan of mine, and
they brought me back. Yes, and uh, and that was great.
Yeah, and every and then and then I was good for the next twenty
something years, say something years. Yeah, yeah, it was a good
run. Somebody kept you in line. Yes, yes, yes, I
had a person in my life that well, then you also had responsibilities.
You're not gonna go out drinking like that and and partying and chasing skirts or
whatever, because I had and then he had kids, and he had a
stable family and a life and it was different. Plus she had a big
responsibility at the same place too, so that kind of you know, yeah,
all right, well we'll take a moment. I gave it to you
all. I gave you the nitty gritty baby, the nitty grittyge Trata has

that reminds him of summer, yes, and he said this song bon Jovie
Never Say Goodbye. What year was this? I think eighty six? Yeah,
I'm thinking eighty six two, probably off of Slippery when it was slippery
when my and uh, I'm hearing great things about that documentary I think I
want to I want to watch that. I haven't watched it. The cool
thing is is a documentmentor like I told you, ended with the cliffhanger.
Yeah, and then all of a sudden an American Idol, you got your
answer if he could sing or not? Ah, I got you. And
they did it. I think they did it on purpose, especially when they
promoted the series on Idol. They were like, oh, you can see
the four part series. But look, I was never bon Jovi. Was
you were sort of inundated with it, right, I always go, there
are songs that remind you of this. I call it the sweet spot of
life. Yeah, when you're a kid free and you did you like,
I mean when I stopped, When I stop and think about my life now,
I go, I don't know the drinkings. It's fourteen, right,
it's terrible. But this there were songs that you know, Motley Cruiz stuff.
They just became the soundtrack of your life because they were on and your
friends listened to them. So I was never a huge bon Jovi guy,
and I grew up down in the near Woodstock, so bon Jovi certainly was.
I mean I heard it. I had an English teacher who taught him,
and then I but it was the grateful dead all the time. Really
yeah, so I was I was like, I used to make I like
the dead, but I got sick of them. I even played a bit
from mylast night on radio, which it could just show you how much the
dead was in my life. Is I had a guy show up in the
studio. He was lost and high and he's like, hey man, it
was me sped up, but it was me talking to me. Wait,
I think I have it here. I can show you. Let me see
if it's if it's over here, I think it's the summer time. You
know, you go out on the bell drowning can get a little, was
it? The views, opinions, and sophomoric behavior expressed on this program are
not necessarily those of the staff and management at ninety six. Whatever, it
doesn't matter. I actually was enjoying the Bond jovie. But I did a
thing where a guy came in. He's like, hey man, Jerry died.
He was all bummed. He doesn't know what he's going to do now
because Jerry died. It was like nineteen ninety five, and it's like Jerry
died, But that was such a big deal. Well, Jerry Garcia was
a huge deal. And this is I think. I think even the people
who are closest to me don't even know my experien sperience with the dead and
that whole thing. I mean, it was like, God, if they
had ringtones back then, it was the ring tone Petuli. Everybody smelled like
Petuli. In my high school, they all wore those woven uh hoodies,
you know, they had the woven backpacks and it was like every it's just
a fucking burnout, burnout stack. Yeah, so that was that was the
deal. But uh, bon Jovi killing it. Hey, I saw something
today, and I may take this somewhere that you're gonna get uncomfortable with,
but we'll let you. We'll let we'll let you decide. Uh that st
I S, which is not so sexually transmitted diseases. We all know std
These are called sexually transmitted infections. So I would assume things that are a
little more curable. But I even thought the diseases were fairly curable. I
don't know. According to the World Health Organization, uh, there's reason to
have major concern when it comes to the global increase of sexually transmitted infections.
A new report has found that new cases of syphilis have increased by eight million
in twenty twenty two internationally, and here we are two years after that.
So whatever you can do the multiple additionally four curable diseases chlamydia, gonorrhea,
syphilis, and trichomisis, which I believe. I know. I think that's
like East in fact, but I don't know. I thought it was something
like that. We're East Bacon bread down there on account for one million cases
daily daily, and so I'm going, why would we see why would we
see this? So I thought it would be people are living longer, and
we hear about places like the villages, and now we have viagra and people
are having sex longer. And when you get older, I mean, ah,
why am I going to put on a condom? You're not going to
get pregnant, you know what I mean. And they're seeing an increase in
that. That's not the age group. The age group is fifteen to twenty
four year olds. It's spiking. Everything's spiking in fifteen to twenty four year
olds, which I found surprising. I found that really surprising because I thought,
honestly, God, I thought that if we was, we're living longer.
We've now we have viagra. People are looking better. You know,
they go and have the Sandra Dorley where their face all of a sudden they
go from you know, droopy sixty year old to hot like right, she's
a gilf all of a sudden, or potentially a gilf. I don't know
if she is a grandmother, but you know what I'm saying. So yeah,
and so all that stuff, and I was like, holy shit,
did your parents talk to you about sex in that way? No? I
don't think my parents ever talk to me about sex. There was never talk
about condoms and stuff. I'm pretty sure my wife did it with the boys,
and I tried, but they would always go, oh, you know,
it would dissolve a h come on, dad, shut up. But
I I mean I always thought like the greatest thing was we would sneak into
this back room in the library and look at the uh it was probably like
the encyclopedic who look up sexually transmitted diseases, and I mean you see these
big sores on dix and Vagina's head like just it and you were like,
oh my god, I never want to have sex. I'll never touch this
you're like fifth grade. I go, that is like the biggest cure ever.
That was our sex talk in fifth grade? What showing you all that
shit? The sex the talk? We had the nurse come in from from
our from our school and give us the sex talk. Man, we had
like a three part series. They separated the boys and the girls in sixth
grade and he got told about sex. But fifth grade, it's well,
we were six. I just I just think of the fifth graders, you
know, now, I just can't imagine that happening. No, I know,
it's it's pretty weird. But I so I because I'm going, are
are we careless? And I thought, yeah, but I can see where
it's spreading among older people because they're going, I'm not putting a condom on
and who cares? And I'm gonna die anyway. So if this is the
way I go out, fuck it. But so that's why I thought it
was. It's not it's younger people. And I thought, have you ever,
at any point in your life been asked do you have a condom?
Yes? And if you said no, did things end? No? Yeah?
Usually usually it's like because you get so revved up, it's like,
oh, it's like well whatever, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
or or you use a condom for like once or twice and then it's
like yeah, fuck it kindom suck. I understand. But they're also a
way to protect. Look Stephanie Id who was in here when she was dating,
she would always talk about every person she made have an STD test before,
like they had to get a blood panel. That's where we're at right
now. She's smart, yes she is. Yeah, but that's where I'm
going. If a chick asked you to do that, would you do it?
It's hard to ask. It's hard. It's hard to ask me because
you know, I was never really sexually active. So okay, so okay,
that's a tough one. Yeah, if I liked her, I guess
yeah, I mean yeah, I think I probably would have well, seventy
I'd asked me if I wanted Yes, Actually, I take it back,
yes I would seventy. I said. I think if I was asked,
I'd be a little freaked out. I'd be a little freaked like, what
do you mean? I'm fine, but what lurks beneath the balls? Totally
change right now? It See, I'd asked me to be a turn on
and I would get one in a second. Yeah. Well yeah, yeah,
but then you're always I'd be also like afraid that it would come back
saying something bad. Oh, I gotta say, I'm just like kidding to
make sure that yeah, yeah, but I think that it was uh oh,
I know you're kidding the uh I don't know, I understand it.
I was just surprised to see the younger people be in that way. At
the state with the highest STD rate, I want to take a guess the
state. What state do you think is the highest actual California. California is
probably good to be. Why would you say that, because that's where it's
nice there all the time. That's where people go on vacations. Yeah.
People are kind of more relaxed there. Yeah. Sometimes you go on vacation
without your significant other, you hook up. You know what happens in Vegas
and Tahoe and La stays there. Yes, allegedly unless you bring it home
in the form of an STI no, Mississippi, Mississippi, Mississippi. And
the reason I think it is and I had I have to see and I
didn't do a cross check. But someone can do this and you can write
me at by texting two O six eighty eight sixty six five five two of
six eighty eight sixty six. I think Mississippi is one of the or states
in the in the Union, in the United States, and I think sex
feels good, it's free, and it feels better without a condom. I
mean, she'd call them a convenience store in Mississippi, some like a drug
store in Mississippi. Find out how their sales of condoms are lives, you
know, I mean, and all of a sudden, they said, well,
we don't really sell too many. It makes sense, it makes well
according to the dad I saw, and all came out. It's all from
twenty twenty two. But we're not that far away. No, it's so.
Yes, that was the thing. You say, you weren't very sexually
active, but we know some of your history. Right, How did that?
How did that come about? And I asked this because here's the thing.
I think that we're very uptight sexually, yeah, and body image wise
in the United States. We just I had a person who owns a newdest
camp where you can go and camp for the summer, just west of Almany.
Then there's one up here called Empire Haven and we talked to her and
I asked her one of the things, like, well, she's been a
newdist for fourteen years and then it ended up buying this place. She's about
our age and she said. I said to her, what is it done
for your body image to be newis? She said, it's done, wonders
because all those flaws, all those things, she said, and even with
everybody's got something, and when the clothes are off, the only thing you've
got is your personality, and that's when you really get to know people.
And she said, and I've loved it. I've loved it, and there's
no judgment and there's no anything but go anywhere and ask people and naked what
No, they don't want to be right because we have this thing in our
head. So I think the same thing with sex. I think some people
won't ask to try something, or maybe they're curious about something but afraid to
try it for judgment reasons or what is the other person going to think?
And all that stuff. I'm just curious and I hope it doesn't get you
in trouble. And I don't know if you even want to answer the question,
but how did I don't remember if we ever got into how you even
discovered that watching live action was a cool thing for you. I don't know,
like, how does it come up? Like I'm always curious how something
comes up. I see a crime and I go, how did somebody convince
somebody else to go along with them on this? That's how the fuck?
Well, okay, I'll tell you for about the first time we went to
wood We went to Woodstock yeah four okay and Woodstock ninety four. Yeah.
How did you go down there? I mean, how did I go down
there? You went you actually went to one side and they okay, yeah,
did you go with We's no, I started that. I started that
month, so I we bought tickets and stuff. So I went down with
a bunch of people and we decided we went down early, so we decided
to stay in the hotel. Well, I was sleeping in one bad and
that's bad, and that's pretty much. And they started fooling around and you
were able to just watch, yes, and then you go, hey,
I kind of dig this. I was like, that's not bad. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's interesting. And so but
then how do you take that to somebody else? It's just it just happens
you just can't. It's hard, it's hard to describe. Yeah, I
know, you don't do it, and I'm and I'm I hope I'm not
embarrassing out of pure curiosity. Just it's a it's a thing that I always
go that's interesting because there are live shows in other countries where you can go
in and watch, right right, So clearly this is something that's a form
of gratification for people that other countries go Hey, yeah, we know,
come on in. Yeah, I mean, but here, I don't.
I mean, could you imagine if there was like live sex acts. Look,
there's a massage place in Avon that they're investigating right now. It's called
the Candy Lane or I Forget or Candy Baker those places alone. Okay,
Well i'll tell you why. I think because the person that runs it is
a training and I don't know anything. I think I had somebody look some
stuff up on the internet, found the person. They say that they're uh,
transsexual, and but they still have the male equipment but look like dressed
like a female, you know, all the stuff. So you come in
and I think it's people going there, and I think somebody got a massage
and found out it was a transactual and lost their mind. I really agree,
I do. And I think they went, well, fuck this,
we're getting this place closed because I think the I think every town I know,
you think, like the swankie towns don't have it. There was one
busted in Pittsford years ago, right around the corner from my house. So
grease shuts them down all the time. Yeah, yeah, well it's good
money in it. There is good money, good money in shutting it down.
Probably, Yeah, I would think. I would think that there's a
way to and it also makes you look good to your constituents. We're getting
the a forraf out, you know what I mean. Yeah, I don't
think anybody this place. I don't know. There's been no rest associated with
this massage parlor. There's been no bad act. I can understand. Well,
they can bring a certain element that maybe you don't want. I'm not
going to discount that. But I think the bigger thing here is that it
was it's a transsexual. And I think somebody went in for a massage and
got a happy ending and then found out. I don't know, do you
ever listen? You ever? You you went TikTok? Right? Yeah?
Do you ever you know Candace Owans is correct? Yes, do you ever
see Charlie Kirk? No, you gotta check this guy out. This guy
like he's one of the he's in Candide Owens camp. There is he a
black guy? No? Actually he date candas Actually Charlie Kirk dates some Deana
Deana Patrick? Did I say that? Right? Patrick? The race car.
So what he does is he goes to colleges and he does and he
does talks. But he's a very he's very conservative, like very conservative,
and he has no college education and he trashes people to have college education.
And he's right. I mean, this guy is smarter than somebody that's standing
in front of him that thinks that they can they can talk, you know,
they can overpower what he thinks. And he just has a lot of
good points. And it's like, and I'm not a conservative, I'm not
a liberal. I'm just like right in the middle, you know. And
it's like, but I like, we've gotten to a point in this country
where you're either with me or or against me, but there's no in between,
right, And I think that's a bad place. I think so too.
And I even watched this Harrison Butker is at his name the kicker for
the Kansas City Chiefs. So can you in to me a favor? Can
you tell me that story? Because I don't know. Okay, So Harrison,
I hope I got the right guy. I might I might be saying
his name wrong. He's the kicker for the Chiefs. And he was invited
to a conservative Catholic college to give a commencement speech, and he gave a
twenty minute speech that I don't think most people have listened to the whole thing,
and some of it would be he said, some of you. I'm
speaking directly to the women. I think you've been sold to bill of goods,
he said, because I think that most of you may be sitting here
thinking of the accolades you're going to get for your career, but you're probably
going to get a greater satisfaction. And maybe I'm paraphrasing, and we should
take a break and I'll play it, and we'll find it and play it.
But basically, he said, you'll get greatest satisfaction of being at home
with your kids and having kids. And so I think most people heard that
as a women's place is in the kitchen. Isn't that so I think that.
But so somebody asked me, what do you think of it? And
I said, well, it doesn't matter. He wasn't speaking to me.
Nobody at the place where he made the speech got up and was offended.
They weren't, not one person that he was speaking to the audience of this
place that he was right in line with the way they think. So they
weren't offended. And this wasn't for you. This was for them. And
what makes our societies great is there's conservatives and there's liberals, and that we
get to pepper it all through and we try to find a balance somewhere in
between. I'm not I'm not going to comment whether he's right or wrong that
he made to get outraged, to be outraged by this. He's not going
to control things. These people are going to make their own decisions. You
can make your own decision. But the people who that this speech was intended
for liked it, were not offended by it, And so what the fuck
do you care? It was my thinking. I agree, and I'm not
saying one way or the other. Whether I'm not in any way saying he's
right or he's wrong, I'm not what I'm saying to you is why are
you getting upset? You can have your own opinion, but you didn't go
to the conservative school, didn't You didn't attend that Catholic college he was.
He's right in line with what they teach and what they the way they think.
I would I would believe because nobody from the institution, and nobody from
the audience that I've seen anywhere, and we all live in a world where
everything comes out now has said anything negative about it. The only thing that's
been negative is everybody else and is the NFL. And all had backed away
because why because you're afraid of backlash from people who are gonna make a snap
judgment on a clip. Maybe, and I haven't seen the whole speech.
I say this all the time. Maybe in full context what he said makes
makes sense. Maybe you can look at and go, Okay, I don't
agree with it, but I see his points. But instead we take a
clip, it gets out. It's viral. He wants women in the kitchen,
and I don't know that that's the case, but I do know this.
The audience he spoke to was not upset. And it's funny you see
that because it's like, remember when when McDermott. Remember when reporter talks about
what McDermott said a couple of years ago about the Yes, yeah, and
you played and I was all pissed off. Yes, then you played it.
We played it, and you played it for me. Yes, And
they missed a big piece of what it was, what he was trying,
what that reporter was trying to reporter was trying to do. It's just show
a pattern of of a guy who isn't connecting with his players, right,
and the nine to eleven thing we all jump on as though it's the most
horrible thing. We go, Oh, it was a mistake. It was
just one where he came back and he did apologize. It was years ago
and and so. But yes, I think that sometimes we have to we
everything comes now in sound bites. Our attention span has gotten shorter and shorter
and shorter. I think TikTok's up to ten minutes. Tell me anybody who
sits through a ten minute of TikTok? Has anybody sat through a ten minute
of TikTok? If they're if you? If you have? I do all
the time, okay, because I will be honest. There are times so
where if I get the gist of what the TikTok is, and it's ten
minutes and I'm three minutes in. I'm on, I'm onto something else.
And I think most people are that way these days. So again, if
we see a quick Butcker, if I hope I'm not mispronouncing his nam but
the Kicker for Kansas City's speech, you're seeing a snippet. I'm not going
to say that. Maybe in context of your your first opinion is the right
one to have. I don't know I'm saying. We just we live in
a world where we're not getting all the accurate information or making snap judgments on
things that we're not getting the full picture. What band did they cancel from
Arrowhead? There's a band that was supposed to play an Arrowhead and whoever's talk
talk shit about this about the Kicker and they said, you don't play here.
I gotta look at that up. All right, we'll take a break,

Glenn Hanster. He's Iris. He's an Irish Irish singer. He is in
the movie Once and Addie Vatter has brought him on tour with him and has
opened up. He's given him kind of a shot the you know, mainstream
we'll see this guy because he's really talented, and so yeah, I mean,
yeah, yeah, I think I went to see him. My college
roommate was really into. We used to go to the House of Guitars for
the midnight release of the imports on the Input imports like recordings from overseas and
stuff and get their import album. My college roomate, Scott Finzich, was
very into that. But I play this because you told me that because of
Harrison Butker, Kansas City canceled and it's just and I don't take this the
wrong way. It's not true. I mean it is not true. It's
not true. Snope says has it here, and I'm gonna break it down.
Kansas City cancels three Pearl Jam shows at Arrowhead Stadium. We stand with
Harrison Butker because and there is video of Eddie Vedder going on an anti Harrison
Butker rant. We're going to play two. I'm going to play two clips
from Harrison's twenty plus minute speech at Benedictine College, and I will again go
back to my thoughts on it, but we'll see this Originated as satire.
May twenty first, an ex user at Justice posted a meme displaying photos of
Pearl Jams Eddie Vedder and Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker with the words Kansas
City cancels three Pearl Jam shows at Arrowhead Stadium. We stand with Harrison Butker.
The Chiefs play home games at Arrowhead Stadium, located in Kansas City,
Missouri, and it says after Pearl Jams Eddie Vedder went on anti Harrison Butker
ran the front office at Arrowhead Stadium canceled three of the band's upcoming shows.
We stand with Harrison Busker and his admirable moral values veteran. His band can
find somewhere else to play. The move will cost the band about fourteen million
dollars. Ouch is what they write, and then there's the picture as I
saw this. So then people started this whole thing on all kinds of social
media. It spreads like wildfire, and they start saying things like go woke,
go broke, meaning that well, the truth of it is, Kansas
City was never on Pearl Jam's tour schedule from the beginning. Yeah, they
were never playing they were never playing there. Somebody did this. But we
live in a world where it makes sense that that would happen, right,
does it not? The power play and the whole thing with the going woke
and Butker and we're going to stand with Butcker and we're not going to stand
with Bucker And it becomes a political thing when I don't. I mean,
three nights of narrow had made sense to me. Of course, of course
it does. Three nights at a huge stadium. They're selling out. They
think Pearl Jam could sell out three nights of a stadium, like damn,
maybe one night maybe, I don't know. I'll tell you this that I
was I was going to go this weekend and my plans changed to see the
Stones in met Life Stadium. And I think you can get tickets on the
floor for one hundred and eighteen dollars. If you try to get tickets on
the floor in Cleveland, they're five hundred and sixty five, six hundred bucks
for the Stones. Yeah, I think that. I just think they're not
selling as well. I think the economy is weird, and I think it's
a bad weekend. It's a bad weekend people are going, so that's why
I thought it would be great to go. And then my plans changed and
they I don't know if I'm ex I was excited, and then I'm all
of a sudden like I've seen him a bunch of times and I would love
to see him at eighty and one last thing. I wanted to take my
mom. Her plans changed and I was like, okay, then you know,
but whatever, So Harrison, Butker, so this is not true.
That that statement is not true. But Snopes dug into it. Somebody did
it thinking it was funny, and it caught wildfire because in the world we
live in today, it makes sense. It makes sense. It's something like
that that could happen. It did not happen. Let me go over to
the Harris Doctor's speech and see if I can get Okay, So I'm going
to play this this portion of the speech. This is something I hadn't heard
but when I was scrubbing through. And I apologize because I have listened to
the whole speech. Will I will say that from the beginning, but I'm
going to play this, this one piece, and then I will make a
comment and then I think that the comment will kind of stand with you'll see
my thoughts on this follow I am certain the reporters at the AP could not
have imagined that their attempt to rebuke and embarrass places and people like those here
of Benedictine wouldn't be met with anger, but instead met with excitement and pride.
Not the deadly sin sort of pride that has an entire month dedicated to
it, but the true God centered hang on, hang on, I see,
I see your face, and I stand on the side of I think
that if you believe in God, God doesn't make mistakes, and if God
made somebody gay, then they're gay, right And for I said this last
night, we did a bit when it was me and Tommy doing the break
room where we learned that guys on the download would back into area parks.
So we went to Genesee Valley Park and we backed in to see who would
get hit on first, because who was the hotter one, who is the
bigger gay attraction? And I remember Phil Sherman was part of our show,
Phil Backson and a guy, an older man sixty five, smartly looked at
like the happy grandpa. You could see him where all the kids would love
him and just a big, loving family, like the head of his family
right, and everybody loved him. He says to him, Hey, what
are you doing? And Phil goes, oh, and he goes, you
want to want to take a walk, is what the guy said. That's
what he said, you want to take a walk. Because they would go
off into the woods. And Phil says, nah, I'm I'm I'm married.
And the guy goes me too and holds up his hand. Phil goes,
I'm waiting for my wife to bring the dogs. We're going to take
a walk. He goes, Okay. Now the man never said another thing.
He didn't hit, he didn't press, he didn't make anything uncomfortable.
He just did fine. What change for me was our society has taken this
person and made hit whatever his preference was, whatever he was at his core,
and pushed it into a park at sixty five years old, that he
could never be authentically himself, and if he came out now it would ruin
people's lives. He's lied to his wife as to who he really was,
and so she's gonna feel that way. And so now the ripple effect of
this guy coming out is horrible, and I thought, holy shit, your
whole life, your whole maybe sad for this guy. You could never be
who you truly are. So I don't agree with what this guy is saying,
but he's speaking to a Catholic college. They all buy into this,
but they all buy in to it, sure, Benedictine College. So the
audience that was there, that's what I'm saying. You know, like,
if you don't agree with something, then don't join the organization. There's plenty
of other organizations that probably do have things you agree with. If you don't
agree with Catholicism to this level, then fine, there are other churches,
there's other you know. I don't know that I have gay people at the
head of the church right this, But this is ultra conservative. He makes
that statement. That's one I hadn't heard until I was scrubbing through. This
is the one that everybody's talking about and was played everywhere and again. I'll
just play it and let you decide. Loss of twenty twenty four, you
are sitting at the edge of the rest of your lives. Each of you
has the potential to leave a legacy that transcends yourselves and this era of human
existence in the small ways. By living out your vocation, you will ensure
that God's Church continues and the world is enlightened by your example. For the
ladies present to congratulations on an amazing park accomplishment, you should be proud of
all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives. I want
to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you the women who
have had the most diabolical lives told to you. How many of you are
sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions
and titles you are going to get in your career. Some of you may
go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to
guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children
you will bring into this world. I can tell you that my beautiful wife
Isabelle, the first to say that her life truly started when she began living
her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I'm on this stage today
and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans
into her vocation. I'm beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me,
but It cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because
a girl I met in bankclass us back in middle school em faith become my
wife and embrace one of the most important titles of all homemaker. I don't
think there's maying wrong with that, Okay, but see, most people would
say, you're saying that women should be homemakers. He was just saying that.
He's saying that that he what I what do you think he was saying,
I'm cutting you off? That's right. I think he's saying that his
woman was a home man. I don't think he was saying all women should
be I think he said some women will be well. I think he if
we go back and we could scrub back a little bit, the way I
heard it was what you meant, probably what is going to be most fulfilling
for you is to be a mother and have children and be a homemaker.
Like you're going to get your most joy out of that. Maybe I don't.
I don't know. I'm not a woman. I didn't. I don't.
I've never had these longings to have a you know what I'm saying.
I like, I like, I liked having kids, but it wasn't something
that since I was a little person, I didn't think, well, someday
I'll have a baby. You know I would. It's not how guys think.
It's yeah, I think it is. I think or some certainly.
So here here My only point with this is Harrison Butker made a some what
could be deemed a controversial statement on two We played two of them. One
I write, okay, but he didn't make it to people who did.
He was speaking to an audience that believes this. He wasn't out just willy
nilly. He didn't you know what I mean. He didn't get up in
an auditorium and say you should be home. And he didn't do that.
And this is the world we live in. I don't agree with what the
guy is saying. I understand, Hey, if I had a daughter,
go be the biggest person you could be. You want to be a career
and do everything and get into all the boys club and whatever it is,
and really achieve or build your own business. Yes, yes, go,
I'm not saying this. But on the other hand, people in this audience,
he was speaking to the core. They believe this is their values.
This is their values. If you don't agree with their values. Well,
then you don't go to Benedictine College, right, You have a choice,
and you don't go there. They chose to go there. I don't even
know where Benedictine is. I mean, I don't know that I'm familiar with
that college. It's not a university, it's a college. So it's small,
it's private, it's Catholic, it's conservative. Maybe like a lot of
the Christian schools. People get married young. Some of the reason is faith,
and you want to have sex, and you can have sex. You
have married, so let's get married and start banging, right. I mean,
that's why you see a lot of young people in religions married. That's
what it was with Mormons. I mean, I spent time in Utah.
I lived there for a while or summer or first summer, and I saw
this stuff. Young people like, you know, married, Okay, there's
nothing wrong with it what he's saying. What I find odd is that everybody
then has to comment on what was a private speech. This wasn't broadcast to
the world. I mean, maybe maybe it was. You know, if
you had the link and your grandmother couldn't make it to graduation, she could
watch on watching that's it. But it wasn't like you understand what I'm saying.
It wasn't. So what are we doing where this guy he's not allowed
to have his opinions. We got to go ranting against them. And now
we were yelling from concert stages this guy's an asshole. Okay, we could
think he's an asshole, but he wasn't talking to you. He was never
talking to you. And the fact that the NFL has to step back,
why you are the home of wife beaters. We've had guys in that league
that finally it took a videotape of one guy dragging his girlfriend or wife out
of an elevator to actually get him banned from the league. But are you
fucking kidding me? And now you're gonna step away from from this this I'm
not saying that I agree with what he's saying. He didn't beat anybody.
He's actually telling you, have a family, have values, have morals,
have that. But that's what you're gonna back away from. And yet every
every motherfucker that beats people and gets drunk and drives fast and reckless, and
hey, but they're really gonna catching the ball. Fuck, what are we
gonna do you know you understand and that that's the problem I have in that
I don't have to agree with what he said, but I can't agree with
the fact that he didn't say it to me because I'm not a Catholic and
I don't have anybody going to Benedictine College. And if I did, then
I have to play by those rules. And if I don't want to support
that, then I could get got up and walked out. And you want
to know what happened at the end of his speech. He got a standing
ovation. He got a standing ovation. So there you go. That's I'm
sorry to Rampling. No, it's okay, but you're everything you said I
agree with. Yeah, I'm spitting you see spits flying out of my mouths.
What happens with you come in here and I get all I get all
fucked up and whacked out. No, I wasn't. I had never intended
to talk about the Harrison Butker thing. I just it just never really came
up. And when you brought up saying I'm not familiar with that, I
go, this is a good time to do it, because uh, I
think that uh, everything I saw on it my brief exposure to it was
what do we react? Why are you getting twisted about a speech you weren't
even an intendance at. It was never intended for you to hear that they
weren't speaking to you. There's a million fucking things happening around the world that
you don't agree with, in this country, probably in the town you're sitting
in, that you don't agree with. Go get pissed about that, because
that'll have a bigger effect on your life than Harrison Butker's fucking speech, just
saying And the only thing that made me laugh is when I thought about it,
I go, I see the NFL has made a statement. Stepping back
from like Patrick Mahomes says, I never talked to him. We just sit
next to each So everybody's going Patrick Mahomes is telling us exactly who Harrison Bucker
is. So now we're painting this guy evil. And I'm not going to
say he can have these thoughts, but I'll tell you what, Harrison Bucker
sounds like. He's a pretty faithful, valued guy. He sounds like if
I interviewed, if we talked to fathers and they said, I said,
hey, Harrison Butcker wants to date your daughter. He's going to be faithful.
He'll have a high paying job. He'll he does want it to be
a homemaker. It sounds like that, well she can be he makes millions.
Yes, yeah, that's true. That's true. He says that that
was her vocation, her biggest vocation, which, by the way, every
year I think they break down what stay at home mom should be paid,
like if you paid for the services. Yeah. So when he calls it
a vocation, it almost sounds like he's respectful, now that I think about
it. Yeah, all right, One last thing that I want to run
by you. Oh boy, what I'm sorry? This I saw today.
It was in the New York Post and it was a twenty seven year old
girl. So she had gone out on a date. Twenty seven year old
woman. She had gone out on a date with a thirty five year old
guy. Okay, and she took a pick a screamshot of the text he
sent her after their date. Okay. Oh man, Well why do you
say, oh man? Because these because it sounds like, here, I'm
gonna guess what this is about. Okay, it sounds like the date went
wrong. It does the way I'm saying it, it certainly does and he
and he freaking probably sent her something fucked up after the date. So then
she goes on her Facebook, and she goes on her Facebook and posted,
so everybody can see it, Okay, you're you're sort of right, but
not entirely. And I'm not sure that I have the actual text here,
but he wrote something to the effect of okay. She added the caption,
I have to start dating people my age. Now I'm thinking somewhere in my
printing that the millennial text thing for the New York Post did not not come
through. But basically he wrote, hey had a great time last night.
Have a good day. Okay, okay, hey have a great time last
night, Have a good day, she writes. She captions, she screenshots
that, and I'm paraphrasing, but you can look this up. She screenshots
that and puts the caption, I have to start dating people my own age,
but I won't. That's what she writes. So she's twenty seven,
he's thirty five. It doesn't seem like a big age gap to me,
but that's what she's saying. So then a bunch of people write, I'm
confused, how is this bad? And it seems to me she got five
hundred thousand views on her post kind of goes viral and a lot of people
are saying like they don't understand, and other people going, yeah, I
totally get it. What is you know? What is he trying to tell
you? So she said, let's be clear, I do not have the
ick. I just can't read him, and I really really want to go
on a second date. That's what she wrote to somebody who commented on the
photo. Here is my thing. This isn't an age thing. This is
not an age thing. This is a guy after a first date. He
wants a second date too, but he doesn't want to seem desperate, and
he doesn't want to seem too He's trying to play it cool. And we
live in a now an age where all of a sudden, you just blew
me up all over, like I'm not sure what I would think of this,
But he's trying to am I wrong. He I don't care if you're
twenty five, if you're fifteen, if you're fifty five. You on a
first date and the next day you get a response back from somebody, to
me, that's an indication of the date went well. And if he says
have a good day. You could write back you two and I hope we
can do it again soon, right, And so I'll done because what this
guy's being to me is a gentleman and letting you lead in this, which
is why how Bumble came to be. I believe Bumble the dating site,
at least in its origination, was for women to make the first move.
So how's this bad? I don't think it's old man texting. Somebody writes
if they text, like my dad, that's a green flag, which is
a nice thing to say. But I go, that's not an old man
texting. That's a dude who's not really sure tide himself and trying to be
cool. I've sent that text before. Yeah, I'm sure you have.
You know what I mean? Sech and I don't you know, all of
a sudden she's that just goes to show you what a bit she is,
well she is or she isn't. I think she was trying to be funny,
and I think she is a online personality all of that. Like,
she has a bit of a following, so she does things like this,
And she did say I really really wanted to go on a second date,
so she liked the guy, but it's it's take it away from her,
take it to anybody. If that's the case, I would think. I
guess the only thing I could say to anybody is, if you are going
to go on a date with some money and you like them and you want
a second date, just ask for it. Have the balls to go out
there. If you're thirty five, you're not twenty five, you're not nineteen,
have the balls. Just go, Hey, I had a great time
and I would love to take you out again. Everybody went out again.
I don't know. Doesn't say in the article interesting, but it was just
it just they were trying to, at least in the article, put this
as a gen z versus a millennial type thing, and I'm going, I'm
not in neither one of these. But at the same time, I go,
that's just a huge that's just a dude being a dude. Stop trying
to categories categorize everything. Wait, dude, wait, people are nowadays lucky.
You didn't ask her for me. Will you send me a couple of
tips us that's after the second day, Soldier has been fun. Yes,
this is great. I hope you have a great kickoff to the summer.
You've got the wedding, you've got the fiftieth anniversary party, you get your
brothers. You're gonna be a puddle. Oh yeah, will we see you
Monday? Yeah? Are we doing it Monday? Yeah, we can do
it Monday. All right. I know it. I know it's the holiday,
but you probably got to get up the next day. I don't know.
That's all right. Well, we'll check with everybody. If not,
we we can certainly do uh other plans for for sure. But have a
wonderful kickoff the summer to uh everybody in your life. May they have a
great one with you tipping them back all fun. I'm Bill Moran. Have
a great Memorial Day weekend and we will see you probably month. Know what
