From the Mac of All Trade Studio in Fairport and driven by Victor Chrysler Dots
Jeep Ram. It's bilified the Bill Moran Podcast. Well, hello and welcome
Chumping the gun a little bit here today. I'm running and lay them all
discombobulated. Danny Brunn in kombucha. It's gonna make me komboom combust. I
don't know. Does it make you combust? No, it just helps your
build letter gut bacteria which has to come out at some point. Yes,
I see see that you balance your gut, you balance your overall health.
That's that. What it is, is that the medical tip of the week
from you? Yes? Is that what we're doing this kbucha? Last week
I've been doing kibuch. I didn't realize just had sugar in it though,
Oh so you haven't been thirty days, and then I have. I have
sugarlets kimbucha at home. I forgot that if my wife were within me,
you were told Dan, then sure you sure you want to buy this?
Well? Thank you for supporting those that support us, like BTV, where
I didn't realize every Thursday night or every Thursday it's plate day over there eight
ninety five for a plate every Thursday. That's an unbelievable deal. I Matt's
never talked about that. I'm looking through and go God, and the plates
look so good over there. Eight ninety five dine in or to go all
day and night made with the multi award winning meat hot Sauce. Tuesdays has
the tacos too. I wouldn't get those. Sometimes have them come up those
And I'm telling you that the sharebles there's when the onion pedals served with their
housemade blooming sauce is really really good. If you like onions in there,
and believe me, these are prepared the right way, you're gonna love that
as a shareable. And the rock crunch wrap I had the other night was
just I mean, do you you'll help that? Well? See that's the
thing is they get a plate half you're kombucha and you we all set but
bTB wood Fire pizza and grill on the mullet grease ridge and then we'll have
some specials going on for mom. You hopefully maybe your reservations already. Uh
if you did not, go to bt B r oc dot com and make
sure you call up there and get that all taken care of. Uh,
my dad is in town already for the for the graduation. But I just
got a text from my oldest son asking if I can do him a favor
tomorrow because he arrives tomorrow. Can you do me a favor tomorrow? So
I don't. I'm not sure that I got the answer to that. So
I just want to give him a call and find out what what is the
plan? Here? Are they getting some of that weather down there? I
saw huns from tornado. Yeh, there was bad tornadoes yesterday. They're hunkered
down. They were hunkered down pretty baddy in Naturville. It's like, I'm
a I'm afraid. I'm like, just squat look at it, drink a
beer and throw it at it. I'm not scared of you. Yeah,
it looked pretty bad. I saw the trailers for the new Twister movie too.
I did too. It's the same movie it does, but more modern
of one. Jackson Moran Jackson Marine. He cannot come to the phone right
now. He's like the third person. You just texted me, here we
go, just texted me. I don't understand. He may be a natural
though. For the tornadoes, I might have shot him up there. Tornadoes
were bad they were. They were hunkered down in the laundry room because there
are no basements. All sounds like you heard it over the voicemail. Yeah,
that's a little road noise there. So my dad was going to come
hang out of the podcast tonight and he's like, oh, that sounds like
a great idea. I haven't really talked about this a lot. My dad
has Parkinson's, uh manageable, but certainly wears on him. And even just
the traveling, I think it was better for him not to drive the eight
hours and to actually fly. So I'm I'm on the way to the airport
and I'm talking to my sister and I'm saying that I go, man,
I feel like I'm always like in trouble. I don't know why with Dad,
Like the other day he's talking about you know, I still stink back
to the Thanksgiving dinner when Jackson had an eighteen dollars drink and then he had
a no one was fine, but then he ordered another one and I'm like,
yeah, let it go. He said, you let it go,
you mister. He talks it right. So I'm waiting for this kind of
stuff. So while I'm on the phone, my sister I get a call
from him, and his plane was supposed to arrive at four thirty. It
is four twenty one. I am on three ninety, coming up on the
airport, coming up on Brooks Avenue. I get a call, well a
kind kind of, I kind of. I get the uh, I'm at
the greetings area and I said, I said, okay, do you have
to wait for your luggage? And he said no, I had all carry
on. I go fantastic. I said, how about I pull up and
you just walk right out. I'll be in the uh. I'll be in
a black jeep and he goes. I said, all right, never mind,
I'll park and I'll just walk in and I'll find you. And I
got so. I park and I walk up and he's sitting leaning on his
suit case. I was like, hey, so then he's starving, right,
hasn't eaten all day? And with Parkinson's in anything, you should be
eating and taking care of yourself. So I said, are you hungry?
Starving? So I was going to take him to I didn't know where to
take him. Took him to one place they didn't open until five. It's
ten of five, and I'm like, it's not wait. So I said,
let's go over to JoJo's. Like Jojo, they're a sponsor of the
podcast. Let's go. So we went in there, and you forget what
it's like to be My dad has a great sense of humor, and he's
a very very funny guy. And when I look back at some of the
things growing up, it was ridiculous. Like we he used to call it
the John com We had an old garden hose that he cut and he ran
through the heating ducks and put funnels on the end so we could talk to
each other from our bedrooms at night and stuff, and you know, yell
down and farten them and do all that. I fartened him and send it
back up to my sister's room. But so he did all that. My
mother hated it. It looks terrible with these things in the garden. How
I was coming out. But he was a lot of fun. So we're
we go into uh JoJo's and Uh, he's fine. He was very happy
because it was a big thick burger. He's telling me down in Jersey where
he lives, they're all thinn burgers. But the waitress comes over and says,
uh, is everything perfect? And he says, uh, in life
or in the mule? And then she stands there for a minute. She's
like to say something to him, and then he rolls his eyes as she
leaves, and I go, this is your fault, asshole. You're the
one who sat there and you start this whole conversation everything perfect in life?
Is that a philosophical question about him? Or is that? I was like,
come on, dad, like doctor Murray? Is it? So?
Then then I get him back home and I said, He goes, listen,
I'm tired, and I don't think I'm going to go to the podcast.
I said, no problem. Uh So I said, here's some stuff
I've got for you. I know you like he likes crunchy shit. I
said, I've got chips and all this stuff. And we're talking and somehow
he says to me, all right, I tell you I bought one of
the gummy bears you know what? He yeah, I wanted to try it.
I said, okay, have you tried it? No, I'm chicken.
I go away. Well, oh no, This is how it started.
The conversation starts with, oh, I tell you I bought something that
I don't plan to use. And I go, why would you buy something
you don't play. I bought a gummy bear. I said, what do
you mean? He goes, well, I went they opened up a dispensary
right near where he goes and buys his plans for his garden and shit.
And he goes, You go in there, it's like going into an old
school, dirty movie theater. He's like, because they check your ID,
they walk you through. There's like tunnel. He goes, I felt like
I was in tunnels going into this place. He said, So I bought?
He goes, I think I bought five hundred milligrams. I go,
I sure, hope fifty. I don't know what you bought. He goes,
I got one of you gummies for thirty dollars. I go, that's
actually sounds like a good price. And I said, I'm hoping it's like
fives and not not fifties or whatever. And he goes, uh, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, that's probably that's it. I said,
okay, well, that's that's great. I said, don't do it alone.
I go, If you're gonna do it, you gotta do it with
somebody. You know what I mean. You gotta have someone around, just
just because you're older. I don't know, all of a sudden, you
get dizzy and you fall. I have no idea. Did he bring them
with him? No, I don't think so that'd be fun. I don't
know. So he said to me. He goes, I don't plan on
buying him. He goes, I've chickened out. I've checked. I just
wanted it was like going to Amsterdam. Knowing I had permission was all I
needed. I was like, I go, this guy's fucking nuts. So
we're talking and I said, well, you just have to, you know,
want to be careful with this off. I said, I I will
tell you I enjoy it, you know. And I said, I can't
think of anything in my lifetime that has the world has done a one eighty
on. Because he's saying to me how much the world has just since two
thousand in terms of attitudes and different things and what's tolerable and what's not tolerable.
Because he said he was going to make some reffiic goes UPOULD normally say
something to those young lady, but I think in twenty twenty four, I
don't know that I could say. So. I said, yeah, so
we're talking about that, I said, I often think of, like how
much the world changed since both my grandfathers died, if they were to come
back from the early nineties when they died to now, it's and it's not
that long a period of time. We're not to marry each other now we're
talking, right, but we're talking like thirty what thirty three years, thirty
two years, not even thirty five years, I don't think. And just
the technology that has changed, it's it's amazing in that short period of time.
And I said, the only thing I can think of is weed.
Man, We've done a one to eighty on weed. It went from basically
the worst thing you could do, right potheads, you know, all these
different things, burnouts, all that shit, to it's practically a health food.
Now it's like you go in there're adding it to your salad. For
God's sake. This should be an interesting week. And Jackson, by the
way, wants me to drop him off at Thirsty's tomorrow at seven. Oh,
okay, I'm meeting a friend, so I don't even know if he's
staying with me. I suppose he is. I have no idea. All
right, you should get a little something out of your private stash for you
and your dad tonight, just to give him five, just to get him
into the game and set up a camera. Yeah, just get him into
the game with a five. Yeah, and see where it goes from there.
It may help with the park It could one hundred percent. Could.
You're absolutely right. I have no I I don't know. And I even
say to him. I said to him, hey, listen, he likes
to go to the gym every day. He gets on the rowing machine and
he does. And I think that repetitive stuff, like you'll hear a lot
because I, you know, I instruct some boxing stuff and I'll read and
I have to talk to guys who duel with Parkinson's patience because that repetitive movement
is good. I don't know that it's so much the punching, but it's
the focus of the hand movement that's really good. I think the same thing
with the rowing would probably be good. And he's just kind of discovered that
own and does it every day. So I said to him, Hey,
you want to go to a gym tomorrow. I have I can get you
into. Do I don't know how I'm gonna be feeling in the morning.
I have no idea, I said, well, you usually go Jim,
h we'll see. Let's just enjoy. Now. I'm on vacation that I
heard that a lot. I heard that a lot. So I just for
whatever reason, man, I'm on like on edge. And of course he
brings up. He goes, eh, so we're having a dinner for the
graduation, right, I hope they do it to you what they did to
me at your rehearsal dinner. So this is the man who's bank account is
perfect. Yes, so I said, I go, what happened at the
rehearsal dinner. Oh, it's supposed to be a first drink. Only he
goes and the next thing I know, the floodgates open. We went.
We went fifteen hundred dollars over on the bill. I can fucking clock this
shit in from twenty something years. I have no idea. And he's like
I said, oh, he goes. Oh, I'm just saying, I
hope they do that to you. I hope that up. It's the thing
taste a lot. That sounds like a woman digging up the time. Kevin,
there isn't anything, and that's nothing. He had other things. He
had other things. He went back nearly fifty years and he does it in
a funny way. But you know, it's it's like that, it's it's
a gut shot. It's the stab, but it's not the stab in turn.
No, it's not the stab in turn. You're right, You're right.
It's like a punch, you know, just just nix you. So
there was a lot of that, but we'll see how this goes. Danny
got kombucha and I don't. I've never had tity in Kansas, but I've
never had I don't think I've ever had it. It's like there's bubbles in
it. What is it? Yeah, it's it's it's a fermented tea really,
And they say, like, you know, you eat more fermented stuff,
not alcohol necessarily, but like stuff like Sauer kraut, kim chi and
kombucha to help you sell your gut bacteria. And it actually like helps you
sell your stomach. Helps with a lot of help. If I wind up
like on the Bowl of Tomorrow all day, I'm gonna blame you. No,
it's not that kind of drink. It's it's not it's not a Kevin
said he wouldn't drink it because he's got a long road trip to go get
his kid tomorrow. Okay, great, But I don't think that I'll be
drinking coffee in the morning either, so well that would be there. There's
the reason I just like stopping. I just go. Last night, we
had a text coming about a woman saying her daughter's coming home from college.
Your son's coming home from college. Will you stock the friend? Do you
allow him to drink at home? He doesn't really drink. He doesn't really
drink. He has got a fake idea, but he doesn't. I don't
don't know why. Well, because you want to go out with your buddies,
you can't. You don't want to be the guy left back in the
dorm. But he and yeah, but he doesn't really drink. The worst
looking think I have ever seen in my life? Is it really? He's
black? Well, why is it the worst? It just it looked awful
and you can clearly just tell. And he's using it. He works.
I have no idea. It's a Connecticut idea. Oh no, I think
next to no. I think he got we got we got it. We
had an envelope with five or six women, like all his little friends ordered
him all the yeah I got a deal or something, and one was in
Massachusetts, and one was in New York and one was in Connecticut with him.
No, all they all got different states. All they all get different
states. Okay, Yeah, somebody's gonna come by and and just just give
him the envelope. What's in the envelope, Sam, don't worry about it,
Okay, really, just give him the envelope. Where Alex is coming
back? Where was this at your house? Was mailed to your house?
So you're you're the mule man, Just give them you're the mule. I
don't know what you're talking about, Sam, What envelope? Now? Would
you let him drink? I tried to have him have a few drinks before
he went to school, just because I didn't want him going to college,
going out that first weekend and just getting hammered and not knowing, you know,
what to do. Should I tell a story that I did with Georgians,
because well, so this this was bad to your point, No,
it was kind of bad. Did you feed him drinks to get him?
Well? I didn't, but I took him to a place where they feed
you drinks to get your ship faced. And he guesses casino, No,
and he guesses drink cloth no. Local well Conry's so it makes sense.
But I think I don't. This might have been during the band I don't
remember when it was, uh and he I think he was he was of
age. So we went over there and but he hadn't. I don't think
there was a lot of drinking. For whatever reason. There's not a lot
of drinking. I I got the Irish site. I guess because I drink
a lot, but he doesn't, doesn't really drink a lot. So he
was upset over something like attract met or whatever. I said, I don't
worry about. I said, come on, I'll buy your dinner and we
go over and so he had a couple. The next thing I know,
he was doing some shots and things and Uncle Damien probably there. So then
Damien said, is he starts making saying something about the track discus. He
was having trouble in discus, that's what it was. And Damien said,
I bet I could throw farther than you. Oh jeez. So and when
you're drinking, so we go out back and Damien has a stack of plates
that he brings. So so Damien takes one and he launches it and it
goes like over the train tracks and so Jordan takes one, he drops his
hand back, the plate falls out of his hand and smashes, and Damien
goesone. So the U with him, No, but Jordan, all of
a sudden, I realized he's drunk. So he goes back in he's drinking,
and then I said, all right, I'm gonna like, let's get
you home. Let's get you back to campus. And on the way over
he uh yeah, yeah. So we had that happen in someone's front yard.
Okay, So now I this is the bad part, and I am
admitting it. It did happen. Get him back, make sure he gets
into his dorm room, and I make sure he's okay, and I leave.
I didn't think he had alcohol poisoning. He had already thrown up.
He didn't seem that drunk, didn't. We weren't drinking for that long a
period of time. But that kind of indicated to me that there wasn't a
lot of drinking going on, and that campus you can't there's no load tolerance
at all where he's at. So I'm driving home and I start getting text
from his grandmother on his mother's side, going, hey, I heard he
was really upset today. Have you heard from him? No one could get
a hold of him. And I go, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I just dropped her off. He's fine, and I go, I don't
know if I was Father of the Year or not. I guess I should
have kept he didn't. He seemed fine when I took him, Like,
I walked up to the door. I couldn't go into the dorm, but
I walked in, and then I said, text me. When he get
he texted me, and then I when I got home, I texted back.
He responded. I don't know why he wasn't answering them, but he
wasn't answered well, probably around two. I didn't say ship. I didn't
say the people that like like he used guilt as a weapon, because that
could be well, I don't know, probably guilt don't don't make me say
things, don't make me say give me in trouble. I don't know if
that's I don't know. I just know that that was the thing. And
to Kevin's point where his kid's not drinking a lot, I don't think Jordan
was either, because we weren't even I think if we were there for ninety
minutes, that was a long time. By the time I picked him up.
We ate, then he drank and the next thing, you know,
I did. I did make him a drink when we went to the to
the games in Rhode Island, the College, the hockey championships. Yeah,
I made him a redhead and Rosie. He enjoyed it. He thought it
was pretty good. And then we were down. We went to the games
that we were going to go to the bar, and they wouldn't let him
set the bar right, because would because we're gonna eat the bar because it
is he twenty one ago? Yeah? Does he id? I don't.
Did you bring your ID with you? I go up to the room and
get it? Should I go get it? Do? I want to be
that guy that comes down here and the little girl looks at He's like,
yeah, this is fake as shit. I kind of would like to see.
I have to see, But then I look like a dick if,
of course you do, of course you do. Hang on a second,

way for my old man. Yeah, yes, it's just like the Billy
Joel Wrights songs and tell story stories. Yes, your father's that guy.
Take every Billy Joel song that's your old man and put it together. Yeah,
that is true. That is very true. All right, we'll take
a moment, uh when we come back. Syracuse University, like many colleges,
have the pro Palestinian protests anti Israel. I don't know what they're called.
I lost track. Yeah, but the protests that are going on,
except something's happening at THEIRS that is a little different, and we will we
will get into that. But the Woodcliffe Hotel and Spa, if you haven't

ones round to track down racing the air lads findicate it. Just wait,
I have a friend that absolutely hates Yeah, I can't stand him. A
night the other day, he goes, I think I'm starting to come around,
but I just did. You won't. You're relentless. I just think
you guys great, He's fantastic. I mean, I'm not a fan of
it. I didn't know that he and Andy Cohen were good friends, and
like, uh, they're trying to now say they're gay together. And he
goes like, and he goes, I love John. He goes, well,
we've never slept together. That never happened. And then you call like
an elness Duran, Uh, yeah, he's gay DJ in the morning show.
Yeah, I guess I don't really. I don't know much about Andy
Oh Ryan secret? Is he a gay morning DJ? I it's homosexual America.
I don't know. I don't know what. I don't know what.
I don't know what his his story is at all. So Syracuse University,
like many universities around the country right now. Uh, I think they're I
think as the university is just hoping to get to the finish line because the
students will go home and the protest will edd. But Syracuse has an encampment
of about seventy tents on the Syracuse Squad. Okay, and uh, they're
they found on the campus now. When we talked to what was her name,
Kaylee? Yes, I think so, yeah, I think it was
Kaylee. Uh really from Courtland, from Courtland, great kids. She's down
in Albany doing an internship with the government. Uh. She said that a
lot of times there will be schools like Saint John Fisher, Nazareth, maybe
even Roberts Wesley they're not having protests, so students will find the nearest campus
and join them. U of R Syracuse something like that. So I have
ordered those schools, Huh. I don't know that they have order. I
just don't know that they're big enough for people, Caroline, I still I
don't know. I would like to keep them lawn clean. So Syracuse has
one going on now. The mayor of New York City has said there's outside
agitators in these things. Syracuse, though, has people that are not students
on the campus there, but are also not students on campuses elsewhere, and
one of the people they found his name is Ural Warren e U Ral.
I would assume that's Era Gral Warren. He was convicted of manslaughter in nineteen
ninety six. A nineteen ninety seven appeal filed in that case shows that Warren
had killed a victim by repeatedly beating them with a blunt object, causing several
skull fractures. He served at least seven years in jail for the offense.
He is on the campus in the encampment, staying there part of the protest.
Supposedly, he's also yelling at you to students that go by. I
shouldn't laugh at that. That's I'm not laughing at that. I'm laughing at
the absurdity of this guy. Now. So, I think that many of
the students have reached out to the university saying, hey, we don't feel
safe having this guy on campus and in our encampment, and I think the
university hasn't really responded to them. Well, I'm not sure that it's not
that I don't think it's that what I really think. And I almost reached
out to Steve Serku, except that I don't know that he is going to
really know the answer either. Is I think that this is such a legal
entanglement that the university can't prevent you from having this, and then they also
can't then throw someone out of the encampment because they're allowing the encampment to happen.
Do you see what I'm saying. Yeah, it's like I feel like
they've screwed themselves. I think that in some way this school is like,
hey man, we don't know what Like there's I think it's this gray area.
So the kids are like, well, I don't feel safe, and
and they're like yeah, they're not giving no response. They're just saying,
we have no we have no answer for you at this moment. So the
irony of a place where you go for higher education, higher learning, higher
development has dug itself into a hole by not being smart. Wow, isn't
that incredible? Well, I don't know that. See. The thing is
like there were some schools that nipped it in the bud early on out west.
I just don't know in terms of what you're saying, what the legal
stuff is because it is a private institution and private property, Like you could
probably get arrested for trespassing I would assume on Syracuse University's campus. But I
don't know in terms of this stuff what the legal legalities are. I just
I really don't know. I don't know if they say they have to let
something like that happen. Uh. I mean it's weird because it's a private
school. Well, that's what I'm saying to that. It's not like even
like if you go to a Sunny school, which is a public school,
it's still a private campus. Like if you're a visitor or a t you
could get busted for trespassing because you have to have a badge to be on
campus and if you're if you don't, then you have to have a reason
to be on campus, right, a legitimate reason. So I don't I
don't know what this story is. I have no idea. And I really
think that Syracuse at this point is going, hey man, the kids are
out, they're out of school, they're all picked up this weekend, right,
Yeah, so I think as of Monday we're done, and some protest
it's Thursday, you know what I mean. I don't I think they've been
there since the end of April. We're a protested tar bill plan ends,
so I'm not really sure. Uh that moving day. Yeah, And somebody
said on there, you don't have to be Jewish to feel unsafe with this
criminal on campus. And I just don't know legally. Like again, maybe
you're right. Maybe the schools screwed themselves by letting it happen. I'm not.
I just don't know what the legalities are even for the school because if
somebody comes and says, hey, we have the right to protest on campus,
there may be something in the bylaws from the Vietnam time that applies to
any protests. I don't know, but I go, man, I missed
the days when college students just drank and partied. What are you talking about?
I know, I mean I just drank and party. Yeah, I
don't know. Man, I'm too lazy to approach. Oh I do.
I'm too late. You have these college professors. I've always had a theory
on this. Here we go. This is the reason why most college not
all, most college professors are college professors, and they're teachers. It's not
the whole thing. Those who can't teach, No, no, no,
no, no, but there's a little bit of truth to that. See,
people who actually want to be capitalists to make money are out being capitalists
and making money, and those who really don't know how to do that,
they just want to be into the philosophy of life, and they really don't
have an audience. So they have to pick an audience, and they find
a bunch of college kids who grades depend on the words coming out of your
mouth. Really, it's a bunch of it's It's just an egomaniacal profession,
it really is. I'd love to have your father here today to Your father's
a teacher, yeah, but he's an educator, but a college professor,
a full time college professor. Most not all because you and I have had
some great minds, Like he would like like give you an example, doctor
SIRRT wouldn't put up with this crap at Fisher, No way, no way,
this generation. Why don't you see The thing is you put up with
this crap. The other thing is like you got to let kids express themselves.
So I think you tolerate. Tolerated to a point. I don't know
what the bylaws say, like Fisher may say have something in their laws that
go. Hey, we don't no matter what it is, good, bad,
and different, nothing. You can't have a protest or a sit in
or whatever. I don't know what that that stuff is. I hear what
you're saying. I get what you're saying. Like you're protected. You're sort
of in a cocoon of education. But the professor. I've always believed that
the best professor to learn from are the adjuncts because they're actually out in the
world doing something. They are and been successful. Yeah, I don't know
the career professor, the career PhD person who's all they've done is write books
and teach, and they do. They really don't know how to get their
hands dirty. It's all theoretical to them. But get out in the real
world. Oh that crap doesn't work too well, does it, because it's
all theoretical. Change my mind. Well, it's a hall of famer right
there. Yeah, I know, it is a hall of famer right there.
I mean it is theoretical, some of it, not all of it.
Well, like philosophy and stuff. It's one that I mean, where
are you gonna go? What are you gonna do with it? What do
you can do? My father wrote grants and things and did stuff but beyond
just teaching. But he just loved to teach. He loved teaching. I
loved working with kids and trying to broaden their minds and help them think and
look at things differently. That was always his thing. Uh, when you
get into the college level of that, sometimes you can have some really brilliant
minds, but you are sort of protected. Philosophy is a weird one.
That's the only one I'm thinking of. I guess history, if you had
a history, I guess. I don't know. Oh. I always liked
those guys, and they seem to do more than just so. When I
was at Fisher, they made you take what they called diversity classes. And
I understand why I didn't. Oh, they made us take them. You
had to have a diversity class. They did have at least three or four
classes in diversity. They had to either be religious ed classes or racial ed
classes or something like that. They had to be classes that incorporated was considered
racial or ethnic diversity. You had to learn about other cultures. They made
you do that. Okay, you didn't have to take calculus, but you
had to learn about other cultures. My brother always gonna be crap for that
because Fishery you didn't have to take calculus, which was awesome. But we
had a philosophy or religion, I don't remember. Yeah, And so that
was that was considered like a d class, a diversity class, right,
they were yes, Oh I took off philosophy. Okay. So part of
that was these classes where they told us I'm not I'm not making this up.
This was part of the curriculum. The professor was Vincent Goldfan and I
loved them as a professor. But the class was called word up. Do
you know what I'm saying? How to communicate in the twenty first century?
And the premise of the class was that's awesome. The premise of the class
was all white people are racist, and so you have to figure from that
point forward, you have to understand that you're a racist because you're white and
you're privileged. And so from that point forward, if you're not out fighting
the man every second of the day, you're continuing to be a racist.
And we all sat there, I'm like, okay, okay, uh huh
uh huh. I didn't have that. That was the class. That was
the class about and then nine to eleven happened. Everybody's like, wait a
minute, what the heck are you talking about, because because it was like
it was just everybody was a zombie in that. But you had to kind
of like go along with the professor. Same thing with Bill Sullivan and marriage
and sexuality and Martin and Malcolm. You had to just sit there and regurgitate
back to the professor what they said to pass the class or not. I
didn't have one class there. Like I got into debates with my philosophy instructors.
That's awesome, but that's philosophy especially encouraged that I had to. I
I was so mad at myself in an ethics class because I could not come
up with an argument. I could not build the argument that I actually believed
in my mind, and I couldn't do it. And I acquiesced and I
wrote from the other thing and I got an A on the paper. But
I remember being pissed off that I got the A. But I never had
anything like that of Fisher. But I didn't have that, but I did.
You, by the way, could you be misinterpreting a little bit this
class? Like, no, I can't understand. Give you names of numbers
of people who no, no, no. What I'm saying is I know,
but my sometimes you're thinking is very different than mine, and like it's
a little bit different than mine. But I just think, like I don't
know, the diversity class, like all white people are racist, seems like
it's that seems a little strange to me that they would push that agenda.
Maybe I don't know. I can't say I wasn't in the class, so
I'm not, but it feels odd for that institution. And then to say,
like I go, I get the idea of white privilege. It isn't
meant that you're you get everything handed to you. It just means like if
you get pulled over, you're probably not going to be harassed. I'm not
saying less likely to get a ticket. You'll probably get a ticket, but
you're probably not gonna be questioned, maybe not pulled out, asked to get
out of your car and have your car search, where it probably does happen
percentage wise more the other way. I don't know. I can't say.
People who probably listen to go, you're full of shit, you know what
you're talking about? Maybe I don't. Well, I just know that I
got a shit to of tickets. Today, I'm in the car with my
father. I ran a red light. He goes to me, any cops
around, he goes. I said, no, He goes, You're losing
your touch because I had so many tickets as a kid. I had so
many, like I got them all to bring that up. Of course he's
got to bring it all up. Kevin's already pointed it out. He's a
woman. No. I mean, I'm glad I took the classes because I
grew up as a white kid in Silver Crick, New York. There weren't
any black kids, all right, there you go, so you were automatically
racist exactly. We had Native American kids, but that was that was his
quote. Diverse. Yeah, Like the word diversity didn't exist until like nineteen
ninety five or at ninety six in the context of what it is today.
Right. But I'm glad I took the classes because I didn't realize like how
different things can be with certain ethnicities and stuff. But I think we've over
corrected. Oh we always do, and we've gotten carried away. And this
is what right and this is why we we we have these protests on campus.
Yeah, I'm not sure if I agree you're yelling at Jewish kids.
First of all, how do you even know they're Jewish? Well, I
don't know how big a deal that is. That's why I wanted that girl
on. And she said to me, that's not happening at a lot of
places. Well, no, not Courtland, that because they I don't think
they had the protest there anything. She went to one's to Binghamton or Syracuse.
But I she was saying that most of it was involving Jewish kids who
wanted to be part of it. They were welcome, they were singing songs,
they were dancing. There was no hate coming out of it. There
is some somewhere, But I they had a canceled graduation. I think they're
smaller, but I don't know. I have no idea. Let me ask
Cornell. The president reside today or retired? The president of Cornell University retired.
Yeah. Uh, think back to what would you do if there was
a murderer among some place you were hanging out like this guy at Syracuse in
the encampment did seven years for beating the shit out of somebody with a blunt
instrument? Have you ever had that? Have you ever been around somebody who
was accused of something horrible. Yes you have yes, okay, picture it.
Yeah, Fredonia, nineteen ninety nine or nineteen ninety eight. So my
buddy Louis used to bounce, not bounce. He was eighteen. He used
to take money at the door at a bar called Shades in Fredonia, which
eventually became the Graduate. Now it's a strip club. But anyway, it
was on that main drag in Fredonia. And I think about Fredonia, I
guess they had more bars per square mile than any of their college town in
America. That was the story. And he had There was this big bouncer
there whose name was I forgot his name, Big Mike. They called him,
I guess, and that's not his real name, but let's he's a
convicted felon. What happened was he kept telling Louis when we came back for
Thanksgiving. It was a Friday night, the dy after Thanksgiving goes, hey,
Louis, make me my last drink. I'm going to jail, okay,
big Mike whatever, Yeah, just nuts that serious. Make me a
punch in the head, he called it. So Louis went behind the bar
and he's making him a drink because a cheers, salute, I'll never see
you again. What was he talking about. Well, apparently he choked the
girl two days earlier and threw in a ditch and killed her. Ooh,
yeah, we all shook a hand that night. I'm like, I shook
the hand of a guy forty eight hours earlier. Oh my tragled a girl,
like a fourteen year old girl to death. Well, there was a
guy that I went to that a girl that was in my class. She
had been left behind. She stayed back a year so when we were in
third grade, she was with us. She was supposed to be in fourth
grade. She repeated third grade. She was murdered by her brother over the
summer, and it was a big deal in the little Appalachia town I grew
up in. She was stabbed over one hundred times. He took the car
out for a ride. He was fifteen, and she said I'm going to
tell mom and dad, and he lost his mind. She was always not
that this is right, but she was known to be a tattle right,
she just was. I said he should have killed it, but I understand
so. So his name was Harry Hall. So I can't imagine those parents.
You lost both kids he winds up in a juvie center. But I'm
pretty sure his records were sealed because I remember my dad going, I don't
like the fact that this guy's records. He committed a horrific act, and
he's going to marry someone someday and there's a chance she'll never know. Well,
he got out and he moved to Rochester. Oh wow, Okay,
he was up here, and I talked about this on the radio, and
these guys called up and said, oh my god, he goes. He
must have worked I'm saying, like a kode act or somewhere, but something
like yeah, kinda. And he was on their softball team, and he's
like he was always quiet, and they would ask him what he was doing
up here and what did he do? And then one of the guys looked
him up and they Once the internet got a little more prolific, right,
so now you could find all this stuff about him. And I think he
moved back down state. Oh wow, he got a sister shot. It's
like, I mean, could you It's very strange, like, I don't
know how if you would ever trust or feel safe around that person, Like
you almost walk an eggshells, right, You wouldn't want to piss him off
or be afraid. But like, okay, so we've talked about the ten
commandments. I'm pretty sure the first five are about God and all that stuff,
but the rest are human right, honor thy mother and thy father,
adultery, don't covet your neighbor's wife, don't cover your neighbor's things. Yes,
one of the ten. Okay, you're hanging out with people that shall
not steal. The murder, that's a big one. Don't stab a motherfucker
if Okay, So of the ten commandments, where are you in terms of
who could you hang out with? What? We all break them at some
point. Yeah, you break one, you broke them all. That's what
the Bible says. But so I I atheists. Murder? Okay, so
that the first the first one? Oh God? Yeah, yeah, no
other guy but me, uh the murder thing, I think if you steal,
if you're a thief, I don't think I can mess you. Yeah,
I think I'm out. I mean, when I covet my neighbor's things,
if I see a guy who's got like a really cool car, I'm
a little envious, you know. The adultery thing, I can I can,
you know, I can deal with that. There's a lot of I'm
not excusing it, but I mean I can work around that with all you
could. Yeah, you know what were cheating your wife for? Come on,
that's better. You're better than it's a coman. She's fine, but
there's other things that she does to my wife out hell uh. But I
mean, like the big one. The murder is a big yeah, murders
big yeah. Yeah, you know that would be the big one. And
only murdered pussy though, But the murder in the in the stealing, stealing,
if you think about the dou shalt not steal actually might be if you're
just going by commandments, the biggest one, because if you kill somebody,
you're stealing their life. Yeah. If you covet something, you want to
take something from somebody else has an adulty from somebody else. Covet by definition,
is to feel inordinate desire for what belongs to another inordinate design, Yeah,
which means you probably want to take it. Hang on, Oh,
you probably want to, but will you That doesn't mean you will say that
inordinate desire to go? But that could Kevin van Vaukenberg's place and and lean
on the cars at the very least lean on But that could But I'm saying
like somebody who doesn't have a moral cup as could need the theft. Okay,
what a lot of the commandments actually come back to like that. If
someone coveted your wife, that's a compliment, is it not a lot of
guys covered in this first one. They didn't. They just had hers stall
and then oh that's right, they stall, send them thank you cards.
They still to push it. Wow, I didn't think of that. If
you if you, if you believe in a different god, you're stealing glory
from the god. Yeah, okay, you know, if you don't honor
your father and mother, you are stealing you know, you know they're what
That's a good one, Dan, you just stumped yourself. I like that.
No, but you're stealing their what what is rightfully? Their respect?
Yes, the respect you owe them. You are depriving them of their due,
their right All right, we'll take a moment. I just thought that
was interesting. You have a murder on the campus at Syracuse University. The
kids want them off. The serious Syracuse really can't do anything. Let it
go. I don't know. I don't want to think that that happen.
Of course you love it. I love it. Make it makes sense,
guys, make it makes sense. You kids can't make it make sense.
So all that larned, all that money, you're spending all your parents' money
down the trade because you decided to college. You get stupid. You're really
stupid. I feel like Suddy of the godfither what you go to college?
You get stupid. You're really stupid. Well, yeah, but they don't
think they're stupid. They're asking, Yeah, I don't think I was stupid
too at twenty two to be stupid, stuck around for a long time to
try to guess it's still here. To divest from companies that support Israel.
It's impossible to do and you're never going to get it done. So it
seems like you're burning calories. I don't want to get back into the whole.
This is Israel not have the right to defend itself. Yeah, I
just I don't know. You could be you could you could basically live like
an American in Israel. You can't do that. Palistine get your heads out
of your asses. Well that was the thing that I didn't like was when
they take down the American flag to put that, I'm pretty sure, by
the way, that's illegal to do. Yeah, you can't do that,
and any other flag there. We fly other country flags, but they're at
a lower height than in the American flag. All right, we'll take a
moment. Danny's all fired up. I'm not fired up. I'm just drinking
and right to get it at it fair. You're not right, you are
right far right. I am not. I'm really not okay, I'm not
all right. I'm a factist. Comedy at the Carlson is a very funny
guy and he has Tourette syndrome, and he was on America's Got Talent Samuel
J. Comro. He's there for two shows Friday and two shows Saturday,
but he came. He plays pretty high in America's Got Talent, and he's
extremely funny and he does it self deprecating stuff. I think he might think
like things like this. He came out to me afterwards, he was like,
oh, get that funny guy, that comedian with Tarrett's. I don't
even believe you have Tarrett's and heard you cuss once. I was like,
that's not how Turet's works. Buh, only ten percent of people have that
kind most people have it. I have to a different extreme. So when
I cuss you out, it's from the heart. I love that joke.
And he does he twitches and does you know, awkward ticks and things you'll
check like the oven ten times to make sure it's off. Well that I
think that is it. It's like it's like a spectrum. Okay, I
thought that was OCD as well. But that's like a form of urests.
Okay, they have that too. It's a tick. Okay. I really
don't know. All I know is this Comroe is at the comedy club,
lock your tickets down? A comedy at carl What is it? Carlson Comedy
dot com? Excuse me? Wow, I got all tongue tied there.
Carlsoncomedy dot Com. Oh, Connor's and Paramis had two six to two comp
today. Where does the town go when you're all alone? Don't feel like
space time? Eddie nine v. Saratoga? I don't know, Eddi nine
be never heard of at like this? What? What what do you hear?
I heard that serious? I think it was a spectrum. Oh you're
on the SPECTR twenty eight. You know what, dude? I am starting
to believe your family members that I'm on the spectrum. Yes, a little
bit. Well, good, now I got an excuse. No, no,
what do you know? You can't just slap that on me. I
can, and then I can accuse it. No, you can't. They'm
my convenience. You're a high functioning guy. But I think you get I
think you get. I think you get down a abit hole. We need
to have a tester come in and we need to figure the habit. Tester's
name is Jackson. All you get is the ability will get your handicaps.
No, there's no handy. Here's the thing. There are people that believe
that that. And I'm not going to say all things are not equal,
but that the people on the spectrum are a part of evolution. And you
know some of the greatest minds clearly hyper focused on something and being able to
be almost be obsessed with it. Is that? I mean, when Jackson
was little, he could take you to the Museum of American History or down
in New York City. What is it? The uh? What's the museum
down there? Natural History and Nature? But I don't know the museum.
Yeah, I think that might be it. But I'm forgetting the name of
it, which is wonderful. Anyway, he went with my mother and my
mother's like he didn't have to read the plaques. He explained everything like with
just off the top of his head because he absorbs everything. And that's where
I always feel like with that guy, he's not doing what he should be
doing. Jackson should be creating something. He's a creator, and he's just
not not doing that yet. Was he was? He a welder at one
point. A lot of math in welding, tremendous amount of math. It's
not just it's not it's not just like fired up. It's not fired up
and put it together. You can, but they're not hiring it. Yeah,
no, there have ad at hast and make a sculpture is way different
than but there's a lot of math math that goes into that, and I
think that was a bit of a struggle. But well that's that's a discussion
for another day. But speaking of that, like math and things, you
don't have to do any you don't have to really think that much anymore,
and people are very upset. I don't know if have you guys seen the
the apple iPad new ad that's come out for the world's Finnish iPad. So
basically, okay, so it's just there's not or no, not worth playing
in the audio. But basically what they're doing is that they have underneath.
They have like paints and a piano and a guitar and like a studio and
all this and it's being squished down right, and you're seeing like things pop
out, and basically it's saying that everything, everything you could want is in
this iPad. It's the world's strongest iPad and it is the world's thinnest iPad,
the strongest, most capable. It's the new iPad. And people are
outraged because they feel like it's killing the creative process. But what they're showing
is it's killing the creative process. And I took it as I didn't take
it as that. I took it as everything that is part of the creative
process, painting and everything you can do, you can create in here.
You don't need to go buy the paints. You can learn guitar, you
can learn all that. I still think that most people would go buy a
guitar, but tech is is taking over and I started to think, I
go, you really don't have to think that much anymore. I can't tell
you how many times, Like, just to spell a word, you used
to have to look it up. You had to go to the dictionary,
you had to go through, you had to know you're alphabet, you had
to know what came before, what all the not not that any And that's
hard, That's not what I'm saying. But it was time consuming and you
learn to spell the word because you didn't want to look it up again in
case it came up. I can't tell you when I'm writing anything, I'll
just shout out, hey blank, spell super catl, fragilistic sbl of thoshes,
I don't know, something like that, and it does it for you
and I don't have to think it's right there. That's the trade off with
modern technology. I know, but I'm going is this a good one?
Is this good or bad? I don't know. Does it kill the creative
process? I don't think it does. I think if you're a creative person,
you're going to find ways to adapt to what's available. I think that
everything throughout life has done that. Right. The Sistine Chapel wouldn't have been
the Sistine Chapel one hundred years prior if you know what I'm saying, Like
you know what I'm saying, Like you just wouldn't had that everything is building
on itself. That's why I believe that everything is always expanding, and that's
sort of proof. But I don't know what the technology and with school now,
like I think it was you, it was Danny because you bitch about
a lot of things that got a personality in what happened to Dandy? What
happened to Dad? What happened to what happened to me? What happened Dan?
Dan's fun? Now you get fired up. I think that's fun.
Though you become I really came off, really not? Would you come get
off my lawn? Dan? All right? The handwriting in school? Was
that you? They're not teaching handwriting in school. Somebody on the podcast may
not have been you. I think it's somebody else, but they are.
I think they are too. But I don't know in public school. Does
he go to public school? Yeah? Okay, good? And there's no
cat litter boxes in the bathroom, yeah, but either I don't know if
certain schools are not teaching handwriting. I know, like I'll tell you this,
It isn't the same as when my dad went to school and my dad
has the neatest penmanship in the world. And he told me that he just
realized kids were winning awards for penmanship. And he goes, this stuff is
awful. I'm gonna do it better, and so he did well. Merd
J Fry our buddy J Fry. He was in that band called the Dirty
White Boy, and he came to our show. A few types of great
character. He's a tattoo artist. He used to go every every winter.
He would go over to Hawaii and volunteer services. He said, to tattoo
the troops, the troops that were stationed to Wai. I tattoo the troops
every winter. But the thing is that so I asked him to sign,
like you know some forms like to be on the show. And I'm like,
man, you got a great signature, goes Brom. He told me
the tattoo ur story. He goes, you want to hear something funny.
Yeah, sure. My daughter can't even sign her name. She's sixteen years
old. I go, wait, what h Now at that point, they
weren't teaching this is about twenty twelve. They weren't teaching kids how to write
in cursive anymore. He goes, I had to show my daughter how to
sign her name sit she couldn't do it. I don't know that it's good
or ye special because all my children, Yeah, mine too, I think,
Jamison. But I don't really know, to be quite honest with you.
And here's the thing is, I don't know that I care one way
or the other. Things evolved and change, and we don't sign a lot
of things. You get a contract, now you're you're putting your electronic signature
on there. It writes it for you, right docusiting. Yeah, it
does the whole thing. So I don't necessarily have a problem with it as
some people do, but they feel like it's a lost art. Motor skills,
fine motor skills, thinking, being able to create. I don't know.
It's an interesting debate. As technology gets stronger and stronger, it starts
to I don't know if it takes over or not. Yeah, I mean,
I think that the more technology has changed our lives, have made it
easier and made it less more convenient. The more we've lost over the years,
like like learning to change at tires or doing your plumbing in your house
or do it yourself type stuff, you know, like My father was a
man's man, and he could. I mean he didn't do a great job
at fixing things, but he can fix it and make it work, you
know what I'm saying. Like he would say, he wasn't an next my
father. What why are you? Why because you because you yeah, okay,
no, But the point is that that but you and you tell all
the Italians they think they can fix the fix everything. Every Italian I've ever
known they think they can fix anything. I've got into it. You have
a protest. I'm in something right now. I went to an Italian guy's
house who told me, Hey, I do all this stuff myself. Guess
what was backwards in the bathroom? Everything hot in cold water. It's just
simple fix you just unscrew it and wapping around the other way. But he
had the he goes, what are you going there? The blue is actually
hot and the red handles. Yeah okay. Bill Moran once said famously,
I think Italian are just Italians are just dumb Jews in trouble. Don't get
me. I could say, you say something similar to them. But like,
the point is is that because of life, because of our because of
a lot of his family, a lot of family. I would say very
strong sense of family. Italians king of the Jews. Yes, they take
care of each other. The Jewish people have a very strong sense of family.
And I think that the there is a stereotype and I'm just gonna say
it, and I'm not picking the Jewish mother, right, the Jewish mother,
but they push to get the best out of you. Yes, and
if you look at it that and I really believe that. I know a
Jewish mother that once went behind the counter of the deli because she didn't like
sandwhich was oh wow, I'm not kidding. And her kid highest level you
could get to in his profession, I'm not honest. Great guy, loved
him, very nice, very you know, really was a So where do
we fall short by people? I'll tell you what I say this. I
think Tesla was a genius Italian. Yeah, I think he stolen from him.
Yeah, like all of the Antonio Meucci. Yea better than the telephone.
Not an Alexander grand Wow. I don't know. I'll red debate those.
Yeah, I'm gonna have a protest about camp I mean, well,
who invented radio? Who gets credit? Marconi? Another Italian? But it
was really Tesla who did waves and all that stuff either way. But the
point is though to bring it back to like do it yourself and stuff.
Yes, there's more and more. Things have become so much easier now convenient
wise. Yeah, I got two schools with thought go ahead that like,
we've now forgotten or not been taught how to do things that could easily have
been done by our parents twenty thirty fifty years ago. I'm gonna give you
things that they needed to know but we don't need to know. I'm gonna
give you examples. You're right, you can't find for those trades, like
Mac of all trades, to find qualified guys to do that kind of work.
It's getting harder and harder, that is true. I also think that
life is coming at you a lot faster and a lot harder now, and
you don't necessarily have the time to do that. And a lot of times
you maybe the father didn't have the interest to show you how to do it
or to teach you. Maybe he didn't like doing it himself. I always
liked working with my hands, and I will say that one of the things
that I learned early on. My dad always did stuff. My dad to
me and I wish he was here, because I would love to have said
this to his face, and I've said it a few times to him,
but I think he is one of the most impressive human beings I have ever
met. He grew up in a tenement in Brooklyn, like just this tiny
little apartment right that they it was cheaper because they didn't have elevators if you
lived up higher because there were stairs, the more expensive apartments were lower.
Now it's reversed, right, you go to New York City, You're paying
to be up on a upper floor, but there's elevators. There were no
elevators, so they lived there. His parents were very young. They were
in nineteen twenty when they got married, and there was no power tools,
no one was working, there were no home improvement, there was nothing was
being done via no but but the house I grew up in he built.
He built it behind it, well, somebody came in and did the foundation,
and there was a company that did that, and then he did the
wiring, the framing, all the other stuff and it had never done this
shit. A lot of that, he'll say, he credits philosophy, being
able to look at things and understand them. He built me the coolest fucking
room. When I was eight years old. It was a loft. It
was so cool. It was like you're living in a fort. I had
a bolton board that I was actually a closet door, and I could put
things on it and then you open up there was a closet behind it.
And it was just just genius the stuff he did. I was not as
good at that stuff. But what I liked was when in radio you talked
into a microphone and then it was gone. Before there was any form of
podcasting was pretty much gone. Right. We would do best ofs and things
and you play that back, but somebody had to tape it or else.
It was yeah, but most of the time it was just gone, and
and you didn't have anything tangible like some jobs, even tea. I guess
to a certain degree, you can go, I did this today. I
got this kid to understand this concept. That's a tangible in a way.
Right. So I liked working with my hands because then if I hung a
door in my house, when I changed them from like hollow doors to solid
pine and I had stained and all I could look at that go. I
did that, and there was some real satisfaction in that. I just feel
like people don't have the fucking time anymore. I mean, Kevin's running nine
different directions with hockey, right, and then you've got both parents work now,
right, work, But work gets you all the time. They're getting
you all the time. Hey, did you get my email? When did
you send it? Nine o'clock last night? What the fuck? You know
what I'm saying. There's no time off. Really there is, but there
sort of isn't in the corporate world if that's where you're working, right.
So, I don't know if it's just I don't know if it's I don't
want to say it's laziness, but I think there's I like working with my
hands. I don't. I don't do anything really now. But I sold
a lot of my tools when I moved. I know that. Yeah.
I mean I think most people like my age wouldn't know how to turn a
wrench or any of that stuff. I'll tell you what I can't wait in
fifteen twenty years when young families starts downsize their homes and we see all the
home improvement projects that went on during COVID this half assed bullshit, fucking you
know, fourteen on center, improper wiring, all kinds of shit. My
buddy Joe's going through it now. So he bought a house in Brighton,
right, and they had a pool and they this guy really had to leave
town in a hurry, so he got a great price on the house and
he was a diy guy. They've had to refix pretty much everything in the
entire house over the last fifteen years. My father was a great one because
he would always say things like my brother used to refer to it as a
as a movie set. I used to say we lived in a mirage,
like he could make things look beautiful. But then he would always say to
us, if you know the rules, then you don't know how to break
them, right. So there were for a while Aisle there was a plumbing
issue. He could fix it to the washing machine and my kids were little,
and I remember this because Jackson and Jordan little. He ran a hose
through the back window and just tacked it up on the rafters in the unfinished
part of the basement. And to fill the washing machine you had to scure
hope. My mother was out of her fucking mind, hated it, but
he would just do shit like that, say that it's good enough. Who
care. We had a he went like, we went to my uncle's house.
My uncle had a stained glass window interior in the house that they had
put in. It was in a wall and it looked nice. My father
goes on, going to do that finish the basement, puts it in right.
But on the other side of that wall, it wasn't insulate, it
wasn't anything. It was just basically like a Hollywood movie set. Yes,
if you pushed it when it got there, if you know how to break,
if you know how to do it, break the rules, it was
fine. That was always kind of his thing. But he could do anything
very well. Uh, pop culture stuff real quick. I got the entire
breakdown of the Drake Kendrick Lamar Oh did you Oh yeah, yeah too.
I got songs. I'm gonna put it all together. We may look at
it mother on Sunday when we do our Mother's Day broadcast. Just that you
know, son's fighting. But I have an interesting thing. The shooting,
from what I understand, outside of Drake's house in Toronto has to do with
the Weekend, the Weekend's record company versus Drake's record company. And I started
to think, I go, could you imagine if we went back and all
of a sudden, Fuji comes along and shoots out outside of Eastman Kodak.
They took an idea. That's basically what we're saying. It's insane. It's
like the resolution with guns and go back to technology. I'll tell you what
I think. Face to face communication heads completely dissipated. What Jeffrey Rogers is
saying. Most of these fights start online with people like someone taking something out
of context. Then it escalates, and then it hits the street. Right,
because eighty nine percent of the conversation is Boston text. Sure is that
eleven eleven thirty eight fifty five rule. It's called eleven percent of the conversation
that you have with anybody is the words you use, thirty eight percent is
the tone, and fifty five percent is the body language. So think about
how much of that has been lost. The body language is gone, right,
body language is pretty much gone in social media. So his tone,
like, I hate using emojis, but sometimes I'll use a laughing emojis if
I'm like joking with somebody, I'm not you know, L O L doesn't
hold it for it. I will never use LOL. I've never used lo
L. I'm not an ol guy. Look at this. That's good for
it, good good for lola. I'm gonna l O L your ass.
I'm not an olga. I'm just gonna start sending you l L. It's
just r O F M A. I've never used any of those acronyms or
whatever they have. Why BRB not me? No, BRB not mean just
okay, that's what I want to use this, okay, iy it.
I had to look you know, I had to look them up. I
don't want to admit it, but I just did. All right. Well,
and Justin Bieber about to have his first kid. Oh wow, Hailey?
Uh a slip would pass Haley's goalie in Canadian hockey. But Haley Hailey
Bieber isn't that her name? Do I know that? Josh Allen's gotta girl
Hailey Steinfeld? Yeah no, this wasn't sure. I like somebody was no,
no, no, no no. In the long yard. Will he
be a good dad or not a good dad? I better be a great
dad. Yeah. He didn't have a dad growing up, did he?
His dad popped up on the scenes he was when he was down with him,
when he was racing Lamborghini's in Florida drafting. The father showed up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think he got arrested. I think Justin
got arrested, but I think his father was there. Oh wow, yeah,
on that trip, went with him. They re enacted. I don't
know what they were doing. All right, we'll take a moment uh closest
to the pin me versus Danny. I was hoping my dad would be here
because I think he would have liked that game, but he was a little
tired. We will get to that next. But first, Iron Smoke Distillery.
You know, if your mom likes alcohol, for mom likes whiskey,
pick up a bottle of Iron Smoke Distillery great whiskey. You can also go
the Rattlesnake Rosie line. Get two, one for you, one for mom.
Yeah, that's not a bad idea. That's not a bad idea at
all. And then then what is the drink you make with the rattlesnink Rosy
apple pie whiskey? Red headed, red headed Rosy, the red headed Rosie,
right, redheads, something about those redheads. But a whole lot of
action happening over at Iron Smoke Distillery this entire weekend. They had belly dancing
last week, so you know, whatever they do over there is always going
to be a whole lot of Absolutely. By the way, the belly dancing
looks impossible to do. Have you ever seen belly dancing up close? Yeah,
like it looks it looks nearly impossible. Dan can do it. I'll
tell you six different ways to do it. On Friday the tenth, a
big old party band is coming Something Else party from Mom. I can get
out there. That starts at eight thirty, but they have the acoustics on
said sessions with James Trott, so that's first at five, then something Else,

Sinatra, Frankie Valley. He loves rich Green, really loves them. I
would love it. I really want to go see that. He's very I
got graduation. He used to play Ozzy and Blizzard of Oz. Did he
really was? Yeah? Yeah, he put on the Aussie wig and they

was also in the Jesus Christ Superstar he played Jesus Christ watches Pilot. I
oh yeah, really well, Now, if you were asked could you play
that role? I would not play it. I knew it. I've seen
got them do the songs three times and I still have no idea, Like
I can't hear like half the words are coming out of their mouths Saturday night
at eight thirty, if you're a country fan, get out there. Plenty
of room to dance. State Line will be taking the State Life very talented,
very talented. And then it's the Mother's Day Psychic Fan from two thirty
to six thirty. Magical Mother's Day celebration. I wonder if I should take
my mom over there. She dabbles in that sort of stuff. Yeah,
what you should ever battle the psychic because she's a reiki Yeah, and maybe
they could have like a psycho off. That's what That's exactly what I need.

York? Baby Jimmy Z's Plates and Shakes. The weather's getting warmer and we're

Shakes. Where I'm going? So somebody, so, Kevin, do you
know this fan well enough? What do you know why they're called? Told?
I don't know. I don't Okay, I don't know if there was
a rock. It's such a unique name and I liked it. I always
thought they were a pretty band. They sound good. Uh, but told
the wet Sprocket, And I'm like, is that somebody's name? Why was
he a Wet Sprocket? What is a Sprocket well Sprocket, I always basically
Sprockets Sprocket. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So I didn't
I didn't know if there was something. There has to be something behind it,
that would be my question. I'm sure there is. They still can't
figure out what the name Pearl Jam is from. They like they have a
theory. I remember the band. What was the theory? There's two theories
and they were the first one's been debunked. The second one actually might be
real. The first one was that Eddie had a great grandmother who was an
American Indian who made this jam. Aunt Pearl made this jam that got them
all high. That's but the story is that that's not true. The real
story is the bad before Pearl Jam was Mother Love Bone and Pearl Jam is
what comes out of Oh oh, gotcha right? I just heard that one
recently told you what rocket takes its name from. A Monty Python's kind of
called rock Notes, in which a journalist delivers a nonsensical music news report.
Reck Stardust, Lead Electric triangle with Toad the Westprocket. It's deep, it's
deep a little, it's a deep. That's a deep. Break's a deep
reach for a name. Okay, all right, I was just curious.
I don't know why I popped into my gout that thought. That was interesting.
I think the other pearl jam makes more sense. Like the other name
for it, that makes more sense. The originally Mookie Blaylock. They originally
named themselves Mookie Blaylock. They did Mookie Blaylock. Mookie Blaylock found out that
there was a band in the Northwest that was using his name, so they
named the album ten, their debut album, after the number that looky Blaylock
wore as a little wink wink, Who these white boys with my name's Blaylock?
All right, we got a closest to the pin. Let's see how
we do tonight. It's me versus Daniel Son, Harry Potter, Social Stone,
that hole, Oh that's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. That was
not one of the questions tonight. Oh good, Thank god. Off summers
here in Rochester, which most likely for many includes a trip to Seabreez and
maybe a few rounds of ski ball, which was introduced in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
What year it was ski ball introduced? Ban app Well, you wrote
that down fast over there, Daniel Son. What oh, I just took
a stab of the stab the dark. He took a soldier in the dark.

Pama. I don't know. Is chicken Foot coming out to come to town

How many platinum albums does Sammy have? Is the question? How many
platinum albums does sam You have solo five decades of rock, so that includes
everything everything. How many party? What is platinum? Again? You have
to sell? How many copies? A million copies is plellion? Half half
a million's gold? Okay, so platinum is a million platum and then if
you get the seventy five million, then you go to diamond. I don't
know. So how many platinum albums? How many part latinum platinum? How
many albums went platinum sold over a million copies? Uh? I don't know.
This seems like a high number to me. You saw I wrote down?
Hey did motherfucker? You're over there and you're like that kid in class.
Put your minilal folder up so we can't see your answer. You start
doing now? He wrote his down first, he didn't. If you have
not checked out the roast of Tom Brady on Netflix, you must. It's
got a few zingers that Tom got it on Buffalo. But with almost eighty
seven hundred career passing yards against the Bills, how many times did Tom Brady
throw touchdowns against the Bills? How many touchdown passes did Tom Brady have in
his career against the Bills? I bet you Greg knows that one. There
were sings to play along. There were some games where the Bills were so
bad that Brady just handed the ball off and they ran on Buffalo all day.
He didn't even have to, like show up. He took a day
off. He's over here doing math. We're gonna be here a minute,
okay. I got it with directing credits for Fast Times at Ridgemont High,
Clueless, and The Look Who's Talking Series? Amy Heckerling was celebrating a birthday
when I wrote this for Tuesday. What year was she born? Wait?
Do this again? What year was Amy Heckerling? Boy? I don't even
Times at Richemont High? Oh God? Clueless? The Look Who's Talking series?
Pretty famous actor or a director? Okay, well yeah, talking series.
They didn't get cable till yes, you probably get cable. What year
nineteen eighty five, eighty five? Wow? He got it before me.
I was eighty nine, eighty eight, eighty sevent eighty. In fact,
we got cabled the day that The Challenger exploded. And the reason I know
that is because school the next day was about what were we talking about because
the cable guy installed the cable while the challenger actually went up with TV's off
man. He pushed the button and blew. That's why it happened. This
is it. It all comes back to Silver Creek. So maybe it was
eighty six, but yeah, okay, it was again ready this was for
Tuesday, but passing away. On this date in twenty eleven was Spanish golfing
legend Sevy Biasteros at fifty four. How many majors did Sevey win in his
career? It did? And last but not least, I'm listen to you
tonight the Rangers playing in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs with the
Carolina Hurricanes, who used to be known as the Hartford Whalers. On this
date. What year did the Whalers become the Hurricanes? On the state would
have been Tuesday? Is that it? That is it? Alright? Let's
go ski ball? What year was ski ball introduced? I'm gonna say nineteen
fifty seven. Now I'm thinking that I did not say nineteen fifty seven.
I'm thinking that ski balls where you just roll it up right all the ball
it goes up and into the thing. I'm thinking that might have been a
Depression era game for fun. Someone win prizes, maybe a loaf of bread.
Maybe you want a loaf of bread. I don't know Daniel's tickets.
Did you get those higher school? Yeah? So, but I did not
go. I went nineteen thirty two, nineteen and nine nine, all right,
I'm closest though. That's all right. Wow, five decades of rock.
How many platinum albums the semi hagar better part of I said sixteen.
Okay, that's an interesting thing because I was trying to think, like,
how many sold a million? And don't forget, as you went up in
years, it's hard and or harder to sell units because we just played the
songs. I went fourteen. It's twenty five, twenty five. Danny gets
that one. Danny. How many times did Tom Terrific throw touchdowns against the
Bills? All right? He played for twenty one seasons, Danny. Yes,
they played the Bills twice a seaon twice a season. I said,
if he averaged three touchdowns a game, that's six a season, twenty seasons.
It's one hundred and twenty. That's what I said, one hundred and
twenty. I said forty four. I went low because a lot of times
that they were games probably right, were probably right. But I was just
thinking, like, there's got to be games that were over, maybe through
a bunch, maybe through five. I don't know. So I went with
the figure in three, I said, one hundred and twenty. Tom had
seventy touchdown passes against the bill. I think Danny's closer apparely, Yeah,
not by much, but yes, shit fuck director Amy Hackerling celebrating a birthday.
What year was she born? I said in nineteen forty seven, thinking
that she's probably about my dad's age, because look who's talking? Though those
were pretty successful John Travolta, Kirsty Alley, there was look Who's talking too?
Of course, Fast Times at rigemal High is sort of a cult classic
now or I love that movie? Yeah, I said forty four, nineteen
fifty two, fifty two, All right, I'm closest, Thank you,
motherfuckers. How many majors for Sevy bias step four? I said three?
It's got five, Danny two masters and three British Opens. When did he
die or open championships? I guess they should say twenty eleven. All right,
young man, Now this is the last one the Hartford Whalers. What
year did the Hurricanes become the Hurricane? Nineteen ninety seven, I put down.
Yeah, Now see this is where I was trying to remember, because
the Hartford Whalers, because they were probably the easiest team to get to from
where I lived. Just going to New York was much closer. But it
was just to get tickets to I said. Nineteen ninety four and four is
when the Rangers won the Cup. Nineteen ninety seven is when the Whalers.
Danny got a record's the winner. Fuck you daddy, Now you gotta tell
me the questions suck and no, no, no no, when did ill
No, no, no, you gotta do what HLS question is a stupid
nineteen ninety four, nineteen ninety I guess, nineteen ninety seven, that's interesting.
Nineteen ninety well, it was like the the I in nineteen ninety four
or five, I was. I went down and just knocked on radio station
doors in Charlotte. Just then I got offered overnights on the top forty station,
and I got offered nights on a station called the Edge. And I
went to a Charlotte Checkers game. Yep, And are they still around.
They had an outdoor game this winter, so they're like they're the AHL.
Yeah, Carolina's Yeah, like farm And then it's amazing to me how like
the South, the Southern hockey teams dominating the NHL, and I mean clearly
not Southern guys. But anyway, all right, well we'll close it out.
I am anxious for the weekend, are Yeah, a lot of old
faces. Yeah, I I just don't know how, you know, it
just becomes like there's a lot how do I say this is as politely,
but a lot of moving parts. YEA like a lot of moving parts and
a lot of I think expectations that aren't communicated. How's that? And so
therefore you're left kind of holding the bag, you know, like the games
in the third quarter, you just didn't know it started. That's kind of
understanding. Did you get to Bja's in the last couple of days you got
to stock up that case. I'm sure with family in town, you got
to do some drinking. That's how I roll. I know, But I
don't do a lot of drinking with the boys on purpose. If it were
my brother and my sister coming be a way different story with but the guys
they try to keep it pretty because I also have jameson who's not but you
got all the fame. I understand. Well, I have wine for March.
You know we'll get some wine and stuff like that. Huh. I
don't want that to do a guffy. I might at one point, do
you your mom and your dad all do a gummany a report back doing documentary
and do a documentary on it. That would be pretty funny. All right,
We will close out, have a safe trip, going to get your
kid from his first year at college. They might get back together. You
get my gummy in my bed, Dan, Yes, I hope you calm
down over the weekend. Take a gummy. I'm teasing, Danny. I
just you get all worked up when I say things, and then when I
call you out, you get mad. But we love you, Dan,
I get it. No man pop boopy bobbing a bootpee. I'm great,
cool, I'm Bill Moran. We'll see you Mother's Day
