On location and driven by Victory Dots, Chief Brown. It's Billified the Bill
Moran Podcast. Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pod on,
Thanks for telling a friend. That's how we spread the word about the
pirate ship Knife from Jimmy Z's Lates and Shakes Texas Plates and Shakes. But
it used to be Texas Plates and Shakes. It used to be Texas hats,
Texas hots. Okay, because I remember and then I remember it being
Texas Plates and Shakes. Well, we're here because Jimmy Z's twenty one years
we're legal. Baby, Jimmy, how did you look younger than when you
started? What happened? There's just fun. There's just some secrets. I
can't talk about it on here. I think that's very true. Rush of
water he's been. It's amazing filtrations. Yeah, so Jimmy Z's Plates and
Shakes is celebrating its twenty first birthday. That's unbelievable. It's wild, man,
It's really wild to think twenty one years ago when I was twenty one.
Yeah, uh, you know this all, this whole, this whole
extravaganza starts. What Okay, So Danny asked me, was there something here
prior to Jimmy Z's company, and I don't think there was. You renovated,
right, It's four walls when we got our hands on it. Yeah,
and so you renovated. But what was the original impetus behind this,
like the original idea? What was the pushing point for you to start Jimmy
Z's Plates and Shakes. The pushing point was that I was brought up in
six diners. Yeah, and you know, Poppy had got out of the
business due to hardship, and you know, we were successful at one point,
but you know, things in business don't always work out, especially when
you take some risks and you have the size balls my dad does, you
know. And but then you know, when I was nineteen, you know,
he came to me and he said, you know, you want to
give this another run? And you know he he there was a he crushed
you. There was a restaurant in Ontario out of all places, that was
a diner and it was for sale, turnkey operation, right, And I
said, I said we, I said, I'm I said, I'm all
about giving another run. I said, but it's not going to be a
diner. I'm not doing a diner. I'm not going to wake up at
five in the morning every morning, see the same waitress that's been there for
thirty years and flip eggs and be happy. I grew up at a restaurants.
I know what you're talking about, career waitresses, right, yeah,
yeah, hey Jimmy, Yeah, you know. So it just the diner.
I I The diner was not for me. It never was, and
the restaurant business chose me. I didn't choose it. Yeah, you know,
and you know, honestly, so how did you settle on? Like
Texas hots or that sort of thing? We begin I wanted to My grandfather
ran the tip Top on Main Street in the seventies, and as a kid,
I was I was always having everything hamburgers and everything hot dogs with sauce
on them. So I wasn't really introduced to the plate yet as a kid,
but I was introduced to the meat sauce, gotcha. And then when
I was a teenager and started getting into plates, you know, I was
like, why is this sauce so running? Why why is this just beef
and water? Like what's going on here? Like this is not what I'm
used to, This is not what I was brought up with. You know.
So when I was nineteen years old, I had an opportunity to get
a late night job at east Ridge Family Restaurant. And I think my neighbor
when I lived in Pittsford, the neighbor behind me was the owner's named Jim.
No, it was Nick and Chris were the brothers, and then there
was other family members involved to sister and mother at the time. But so,
you know, my dad was working there, you know, you know
as a you know, a morning you know, daytime, afternoon, you
know, late you know, not late night, but you know, a
dinner guy. And he's like, hey, you know there's a late night
opportunity you know opening up over there, and it's it's a lot of money,
you know, like you know, and what is late night opportunity as
a manager or a line cook. They just they just need they needed a
fourth guy on the line and they were struggling to find somebody. I at
the time wasn't really working that much. I was only nineteen, just fresh
out of high school, you know. And then I run into my dad's
boss at the gas station and I was like, hey, you know,
you know your old man, tell you about you know, the late night
hours, and I'm just like, I'm nineteen years old. I'm like,
I don't know if I want to work till four in the morning on Fridays
and Saturdays. Right, he goes, well, listen, it's ten hours,
it's in one hundred and fifty bucks cash. And look there was no
hesitation to say I'll see you on Friday. Yeah, you know, fifteen
dollars an hour in two thousand and one as a nineteen year old, like,
that's buko bucks, dude, right, you know what I mean.
So I took the job and and everything just kind of happened all you know,
it all kind of was a pot of stew, just just simmery,
you know. So I get the late night job. My old man mentions
the restaurant. My buddies from high school go to Northeastern in Boston, and
they're like, man, you need to bring the garbage plate out here.
And then the idea went from taking it to Boston to oh, well,
let's try Buffalo, you know. And then we're just like, well,
we got to stay in Monroe County, so let's start looking for spots around
here. And you know, Brockport was third on the list, and it
was the last place we visited. Really, you know, so because the
just the second you entered here, you know, it was it had the
vibe we wanted. So how long were you at Eastridge? Then I worked
Eastridge for a year and eight months and then you open this, I actually
got canned from Eastridge? Uh uh? And then why can we ask why?
I mean it was eating? Were you eating people's food to play with?
No? No, there was a lot of politics going on. You
know, probably went your way up the second shift. You know, you
better put out regardless the point. So the main guy that ran late night,
he had you know, he was you know, he was you know,
he he he he really painted pictures, you know what I mean for
what was going on, and he was, you know, he just wasn't
a good person. Make a long story the way it should be. Somebody
cheesed wiz the inside of this guy's car after after I got in trouble,
after you got in trouble, I got in trouble, and then someone cheesed
whizz as I was like, you know, as my job was in jeopardy
apparently, or as I was like, you know, being summoned by the
court of justice at the Ridge somebody cheese was the inside of this dude's car.
When do you say cheese whizzed? We're talking a little bit on the
seat or they did. Like I think it was bad because I don't know,
but but but it but no, it was it was crazy. It
was crazy. But the moral of the story is is they pinned it on
me. They pined on you. Yeah, Like I gotta say, like,
of all the things, those kind of hijinks don't seem to be in
your personality. Maybe I'm wrong. No, I mean I was nineteen and
I definitely did things then that I would not do now. Yeah, I
mean we all we all did, yes, you know what I mean.
Like I'm not ashamed to say that I got picked up from the Ron equip
play station at seventeen, you know, because I stole something I shouldn't have.
Okay, okay, like you know, it just it's happened, you
know what I mean. Like, uh, and I'm a better person for
it, yep. And but uh, you know it was hilarious. I
was just like, dude, it wasn't me. But if you think it
was me, cool, you know what I mean, I can't. So
that was kind of the final nail in the coffin, then nail on the
Yeah, the cheese was like they they pinned. The cheese was on me,
you know, so Jimmy cheese. And so from there you just you
just roll over to here. No, so I had at six seven months
in between that. Uh so, I ended up getting a job at Constantino's
in Ontario, my parents living around a quid. They literally lived two minutes
away, one minute away from Eastridge, okay, Tall Ridge. So my
dad's dentist, you know was uh you know, Constantino. And then they
had a restaurant too. Okay, Like so the one brother you know has
his has dental office, the other brother, you know, running the restaurant.
And you know, my dad would always stopped, you know, going
there. He's like hey, you know, and I know they they were
looking for help, you know. So I went there, I introduced myself.
I got a job and right away and you know I started that job
probably uh early to mid August of two and I worked there until I gave
him my one month notice in the you know, right around just beginning December.
And you know, I got my job there and like, you know,
he sits down with me He's like, all right, so how many
days you want? I said, I want seven? Like you have to
understand, like I was still putting the money together for this place as it
was coming, and every time I thought I had enough, it's not enough,
right, you know what I mean? So, like, I literally
was working seven days a week there for like, you know, months,
a month straight. And like I remember, you know, when he sat
me down when I gave him the month notice, I told him what was
going on. They knew something was up, Like why would this kid be
working seven days a week? Why this this is a second job. He's
coming. I was coming from myself. I was working a lunch job before
I went there for dinner. Really yeah, yeah, so I mean I
was, I was when were you working on lunch? What a hustle man?
I was stacking cash? Yeah, I mean literally, I mean and
you know I was stacking cash, you know, I mean my I put
fifty dollars a week in my pocket for gas and the only bill I had
was my car insurance. I lived with my parents, So like literally it
was just stacking all the cash for the restaurant, you know. So,
and I was working some serious hours, you know, but I was working
lunch at Rosie's Italian Cafe, which was in downtown at the time. Now
they're in now they're in pitt Penfield, you know so and yeah, I
mean, and it was it was great and no one really my guy in
Penfield knew what was going on because I had worked there for a few years.
But uh, like nobody knew what was going on. Like I didn't
say any there's clearly there was no social media then. But yeah, like
I didn't say, like my four friends that I went to high school with
that two of them had their own place already at the time. Yeah,
like they're the only ones that neewa, you know what I mean? Because
I remember, like when there was like a dome sale in uh I think
it was like Christmas time. Yeah, it was December dome sale and oh
two, I bought the frat pack Dizzey Gilepsie, John Coltrane, and Mary
Monroe, the four posters there in front of the four boots. I bought
them from there. And at that time, Mama Z would never have understood
what my vision for these walls were. Yeah, you can't explain that kind
of stuff to her, No, you know what I mean, so these
posters literally went in my buddy's basement. Okay, so you couldn't You wouldn't
even bring them home. I'm no, But you're very smart because I think
when you have a vision like that, it's funny. There's a guy dropped
off really cool thing, and I gotta do a big deal about it tomorrow
when we're back in the studio. But he made us coasters and one of
the ones he made on a laser. His name is Bob Walton. I'm
pretty sure. I hope I got that right. And he it said,
don't tell anybody what you're gonna do. Basically, like, whatever you're gonna
do, keep it to yourself because the only reason is your mother has nothing
but your pure interest in her heart. She wants the absolute best for you.
Well, my mother was terrified at the moment for this whole projecture,
just because of the hardship that she already had in the restaurant business. Yeah,
Like, the last thing my mother wanted was for us to do it
again because of the heartache and the losses and everything that it had caused us.
But I if it wasn't for all that, I would have not had
it in me to do what we've done this last twenty one years. Yeah,
I think, Okay, I see what you're saying, Like, had
you not had this When people come to me and they're like, oh,
this success to success, I'm like, listen, if our family didn't fall
on our face six times this seventh time, what you know, you see
success is just a person who got up and did it one more time exactly.
I mean, that's really what it comes down. It's really true what
they say, like how many times Walt Disney was was was knocked down with
with Mickey Mouse. You know, Jordan got cut off as senior basketball team,
Oprah got fired from the news channel. Like, these things happen,
and it's what you do with them, yes, and how you use them
to your advantage. Like there was literally like my motto was is that I
will not give anybody. The only person who has ammunition to take me down
is me, and I will not give anybody that ammunition. Yeah you know
what I mean. It's amazing that you had that at such a young age.
But I also amazing that you knew that if you had shown your mom
what you were gonna put on the walls and all, she would have either
talked talked you out of it. It wouldn't have gone the way you wanted
in your mind, and it all would have been from love. It would
have been from her loving you. She just that's all it would have been.
But that's what I say to people is when you have a great idea,
hold it to yourself, not because you want to be a prick and
go just because when you tell somebody they may say to you, I don't
see how that's gonna work. I love you. I mean, there was
there was a lot of people who told me Brockport wouldn't work for our ideas
because of the amount of restaurants that had come and gone. But the bottom
line was is that I don't know who was operating those restaurants, but I
can tell you it wasn't Jimmy and Poppy fucking z. Yeah right, you
know what I mean? Yeah, I do exactly. And I'm not saying
that we were the best that ever did it, but I can tell you
one thing that we uh, we are not insecure about our what we're able
to do, and never, at one point was I insecure that this place
was not gonna work. Tell me about so, okay, you open it
up. Take me back twenty one years first day it's going to open up.
What's going on in your head? Are there butterflies? Like we talked
about five years ago on the show. And my car broke down on the
way here. It's right, you know, yeah, you know what an
open twenty one years ago. I was here till three in the morning putting
the final touches, went home, slept for a few hours. I was
back here by eleven o'clock and I was here till four am. Yeah,
and what time did it open? Eleven am? Eleven am? Okay,
yeah, but Pops had gone. You know, Pops wasn't here with me
till three o'clock, so he had a good night's sleep. You know,
he was able to come in and you know, do what he would,
you know, get things ready to go, you know, and you know,
and then I on my way in, my car breaks down, and
you know the rest is all history. Yeah, but I'll never forget.
I mean, we didn't announce an opening day, and that's how we wanted
it. You know, Poppy taught me from the get I mean Poppy taught
me from like the nineties when people were opening up restaurants, and they made
their first day a grand opening, and I just remember him saying, you
don't do a grand opening on your first day. Yeah, you just don't
do that, you know what I mean? And I didn't understand it then,
but I understood it twenty one yea day. Why would that be?
The grand opening is usually sometimes like you do a soft opening. You open,
get you get your staff used to what's happening, the rhythm there.
I don't care what place you are, You're not going to get the same
experience at a place on its first day versus its twentieth day or thirtieth day
or fortieth day. You got. There's there's wee there's weeds to you know,
there's things to weed out, there's things to figure out. We didn't
even announce that we were opening up, you know, we just opened up
the doors. Like we had a sign on the on the window that said
dob you know all one slash three. So it gave us all of January
to open up, and we pulled it off on the last day, you
know, but we didn't have any announcements. Just Friday came along, we
put yes we're open sign on there. We did three hundred and forty dollars
in business for the first day and it and uh it was it was off
the races from there, like we barely did anything the first day. Yeah,
but do you remember who the first customer was? Yes, yeah,
he's his name's on a dollar. I was gonna I wondered if that was
the case. That's awesome. His name's on a dollar. Because back so
Lift Bridge, right next door to was back then, I mean we opened
up like the first uh week of classes. So we opened up on a
Friday, the thirty first. I'm pretty sure classes started that Monday before for
the semester, so Liftbridge was a madhouse all week. So come that Friday
morning, I get next door, you know, and you know they were
my landlords, you know what I mean. So, hey, we're open.
We're finally you know, we've finally done it. And they just announced
on their PA system Jimmy Z's is now open. So one of the kids
from the bookshop came here ordered a hot dog and Matt Estridge is his name,
and he's got his dollar. First customer and you know, we know,
I couldn't tell you who the second one was, but I know I
know who the first one. I'm very happy to hear that. I figured
you would. Yeah, take me to COVID. COVID reak tavoc on the
hospitality industry. Yeah, every tabage. But how somehow, here you are.
It hasn't been easy since COVID. Yeah, it has not been easy.
And there's a lot of factors to it, you know, the rising
cost of goods, which they're kind of some stuff is you know, is
coming down, which is great. But the one thing that's not coming down
and will never come down at this point is minimum wage, you know,
right, and minimum wage is just a killer. I am seeing in the
state of Washington right now, drivers delivery drivers for things like grub Hub and
others twenty six dollars an hour an hour. So somebody would order, let's
say, a latte to be delivered to their office from a coffee shop nineteen
bucks, yeah, nineteen bucks. Yeah, yeah, because it goes on
and I go, are you going to pay nearly twenty dollars for a cup
of cafe that I can buy? The big thing? You can just make
it, just put it. This is what I'm saying. It's like make
it yourself and bring it. I mean sometimes sometimes that nineteen dollars when you
think about it, isn't a lot of money. Okay, no, but
it is on that But don't you think in terms of value? I don't
listen the value it brings the person to make them feel the special they need
to feel to have a cup of costs what I can't argue with that?
Okay, I can't argue with that. And that's really that's really the disconnect
with with with with reality. Yes, let's be honest, Yes, let's
be on it. I don't think anybody in their right mind twenty years ago,
even if the service was available, would have done that. No,
I don't either, you know what I mean? But when these people are
you know these you know, you know the this generation, not people this
general, that generation we're talking about. They were brought up with a tablet,
they were brought up with the phone in their hand. They were brought
up. They don't know what it's like. Everything's on demand. I mean,
it's right there when they want. They don't know what it's like that
when the new you know, uh uh, you know, your when your
favorite artists put on a new CD, like if you wanted it, you
were at the hog on Tuesday night at midnight, right, Or when you
wanted tickets for something you went to Macy's Yeah, okay, you know,
or when to line got a bracelet. Yeah, like there's that those these
things don't exist anymore. It's funny because you know, I have my uh
middle sun just turned twenty two yesterday, and we're going to get together this
weekend. And I said something to him about, you know, I don't
want to just give you money that you're going to go spend in a bar
or do something. And he goes, well, he goes, listen,
if you don't mind, you know, can I ask you what you give
me? I tell him, and he said, I'm just putting in to
a new windshield for my car. I've been hustling. I'm trying to get
extra hours between track practice and other And I go, that's what I love.
Yeah, I love. I don't I don't want to see it.
I don't want to see you suffer. I don't want to see you grind
it out. But I think when you're a little uncomfortable, you do a
little bit more and you do a little bit better, right, I mean
when you're saying uncomfortable, Yeah, hustle a little bit more, and it
means a little bit more to you. Listen, the person who's paying nineteen
dollars for a cup of coffee, they don't know what uncomfortably That's what I
mean. That's why every day I try to do something make me a little
uncomfortable. They don't know, they they don't know what being challenged is.
Yes, it'd be you know, because they these are the kind of people
that wake up thinking that they are deservant of it all. Yes, yes,
okay, but but don't have an explanation on why they born on third
base disease, or if they do have explanation, you know, it's coming
from somebody's Barbie world. Yeah, the uh but the COVID stuff. I
mean, Jimmy, I remember that was a really like dark time for everybody.
But somehow you got were you doing deliveries or pick up? Well,
we we did close for three months and we were we were probably one of
the longest businesses in town that stayed closed. But it's because we were we
were able to you know what I mean. You know over the years,
uh, you know, I reinvested, I worked very hard. I've lived
below my means so you know, I don't have a rent payment here,
I you know, it's at the place of mine, you know what I
mean. So, like I bought the building, so I don't I don't
have to worry about how I'm going to pay rent, you know, I
mean, I don't have to worry about you know, I have rent coming
in from my rentals. So it's just like it was the first off button
that I personally had at that time in seventeen years. Yeah. Like it
was almost kind of nice in a way, weird in a weird way,
in a weird way where I could go. I went. I went from
seeing my mom once a month to you know, a couple of times a
week. Yeah, it was nice, you know what I mean, from
being able to actually have quality time with my family versus stressed out all the
time, okay about what's going to go wrong today, you know what I
mean. So from that standpoint, yeah, but from the other standpoint of
having you know, the people who were relying on their paycheck and so it
was there's two ways on everything, you know, I mean, and then
the people that were actually really getting sick. Some of the people that you
know that we lost during that time, it was just a scary time for
everybody. It was there was there was a lot of unknown for a while,
you know what I mean. So but you know, we opened up
three months later and to a great response, and you know it was tough.
I'm not gonna lie. It was tough. And you know thing it
was tough before COVID. Yeah, the restaurant business was tough before COVID and
when you didn't think and basically that toughness said cold my beer, okay or
COVID you think that stuff. Yeah, yeah, but here you are man
twenty one years. Yeah. I think that's amazing. I do too,
definitely. Uh, you know, I don't know. I mean, how
are you Are you gonna do something privately for yourself? No, No,
I'm not really. I'm not really a celebrator of birthdays, even my own
personal one. I've never been. If I played you this song, yeah
right, I think this is actually I think we we realized this is an
anti anniversary song. Yeah, it's a slap of the face. I didn't
either until I really listened to the well, the opening line, I mean,
at the beginning, it's the thought that counts, Yes, it's the
thought that counts. But twenty one years damn old enough to have a So
did Jimmy Z have a drink today? Since it's twenty one? Okay,
you know, but yeah, I mean, Poppy and I are winding down,
you know, so for us, this is somewhat of a farewell tour,
you know what I mean. Right now? You know, we do
have we we are right now, you know, in search of the right
buyer. We are in talks, you know, with a few parties and
hoping that you know, we can move forward with the right one and uh,
you know, just find the right feet that fit the shoes, you
know, because these shoes, Uh, it takes a special person to wear
these shoes, you know. In order to operate this place at its highest
level of potential, it takes a lot out of the operator. I'm sure,
I'm sure. Yeah, all right, we will take a moment and
we'll get a little Jimmy Z's grub and then we'll we'll come back and do
a couple more. But we are at Jimmy Z's for the twenty first anniversary.

forget you know what you guys, and uh, you know the rest of
the guys up there at the five Star. You know a building did for
us, and you know it just elevated things to such a level. And

So years later after he got shut I don't, I don't know, so
I don't I don't know that. So this is how the story goes from
what I understand, and Jesse Isler. If you know him, you've probably
heard this story before, so forgive me for repeating it, but it's kind
of interesting. So years later, Jesse winds up traveling on a private jet
and he's like whoa, Like, what the hell is this? So they
he and his partner decide we want to make jets affordable to everybody. So
they pitched Warren b if It's company who own netjet or something, and they
kind of got kicked out after twelve minutes. They're like, Okay, no,
we're not going to do this because what they wanted to do was sell
people, basically cards that says, I'm going to buy a card, and
I don't know how much it was, but let's say it's twenty thousand dollars
and I get two hundred and fifty flight hours on a private jet that I
can use whenever I want. I just have to book it. Here's the
thing. But it's through, so it's almost like a timeshare with a jet
right right. And he was calling it Marque Jets. And somebody who's in
that meeting comes out and goes, hey, don't come back. That's a
great pitch come back. So what they did is they went and they got
like real celebrities and stuff and did almost like a like a board meeting in
front everybody. Would you use this? Why? How? And so they
and Warren Buffett wound up investing. So years later he finds out that fifty
cent now in the club traveling private jet, is on one of the private
jets. So he writes them notes. He goes, hey, it's Jesse
used to be my intern, blah blah blah. I hope you enjoy your
flight. And after that, according to Jesse Hitzler, fifty wrote it in
all his contracts that every flight and every tour involved Marky jets. Oh wow,
yeah, just showing you that relationship, right, I mean, just
how important relationship. Thank you for like taking me under your wing. Isn't
that interesting? I wish my interns would do that. It's a uh I
thought that was you and I both have an intern. It was. It
was like running a morning show in New York. Michael Oh, yeah,
yeah, yeah yeah, ESPN New York. Yeah yeah, r J r
J Yeah he does. Ah yeah, he was doing the Michael Kaye Show.
Yeah he was. Did you you never reached out? I didn't.
I didn't. I reached out to him a few times. Yeah, I
never. I'm not that I didn't. I liked r J. I just
had no interest and I didn't want to go jouncing around in New York.
I would just text him to see how he was doing. I never asked
him for nothing. I at one time tipped him off about something Michael kay
said. I said, hey, tell Michael to look into this, uh
huh. And it was Billy He was the general manager of the Oakla Days
and Billy Bean famously father the godfather of analytics in sports, but he famously
said, my s my stuff doesn't work in the postseason, and I said,
tell Michael that. Billy Bean even said, when it comes to the
postseason, analytics all bets are off. So what did he say? Yeah,
I mean he kind of They were talking about like how analytics sometimes gets
in the way, and I was just backing up his argument because Michael Ky
said, I love analytics, but analytics can't be used to make every decision.
Sometimes you have to like kind of look at what you're doing. That's
the Red Sox beat the Yankees in four. They came back because they decided
to steal second base and tie the game in the ninth ending of Game four.
Well, analytics is against stealing basis. So in other words, sometimes
you gotta go, you gotta go with your guy, go look at your
team, and you go, okay, who's who's who are my guys?
Who are my players that I need to come, you know, going within.
Dan Campbell went extreme with the Lions the other night with analytics. Yes,
yes, yes, he did well. Analytics on going on to fourth
down, the first one analytics favored, the second one analytics did not favor,
No, not at all. So that was going with his gut.
I don't know. I mean a lot of people are beating him up about
that, and I keep thinking to myself and fall team imploded. I like
the fact that you put it in their hands. How many times do players
say, give me the ball? You want to feel like you're at least
empowered by the boss. So many times you if you lose a job,
or if a sale doesn't go through or something, you go, God,
what did I listen? I always felt when I was on the radio.
When I didn't listen is when I won. When I did listen is when
I fail. U Sometimes because you play scared right, I don't want to
upset the boss. I don't want to piss the boss off. And the
boss isn't doing your job. They hired you to do your job, bring
you to that job, and that that's all yesterdy, you were talking all
those times you got suspend it. Yeah, but like that's what made you
memorable. They if they didn't appreciate it, they would have fired you.
But they just suspend it. But they know, Okay, you know,
we got we got a talent here. We just got all like every once
in a while, just you know, cool with you and I both got
suspended once because you have by every yes I did, Oh, thank you?
Look at this? Yeah, is it Danny's plate here? Yeah,
he got a I've had a plate in over a year, and I've never
had a Jimmy Z's Jimmy's plates and shakes. Uh in Brockport, right on
Main Street twenty one years. Jimmy has been just banging away here and great
American food is phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. You know, I learned something today
because a lot of times, uh you know this is now that marijuana is
legal. Oh yeah, I keep forgetting places you have you get the munchies,
you come to Jimmy C's, you know, sorry, or have ruber
eats, come to get Jimmy Z's or something like that. But today and
learned a new term. I was talking to a friend and they said,
do you know what a blinker is? And I said no. As well,
they got a kid who's a teenager, red the kid's phone and it
said something about doing a blinker. A blinker is I think it's a It's
not a vap pen. It's like a marijuana pen and you inhale until the
light blinks. That tells you and you're like super high, Like if you
can do a blinker, it's like, whoa man, he did a blinker?
Looking out that guy? Oh wow right, yeah, well and I
went yeah, because you wouldn't know what a blinker is. As a parent,
I don't know why I somehow go I have a I could. I
feel like I could deduce it. But let me throw this one at kibbles
and bits. If you hurt kids dog food, well, kibbles and bits.
It's the term that the kids allegedly use. I don't know. I'm
getting this from a news site, not kids, so it could be like,
you know what I mean, the corny old guys go you know what
the kitcher is saying nowadays, kibbles and bits. I don't know if I
thought it might have been a TikTok challenge to eat kimbles and bits. No,
it's the that still is that still a thing? Though? By the
way, that's still a dog food kimbles and bits? Yeah, kibbles said
yeah. The attention deficit uh just or ADHD drug riddling. It's sometimes also
rereferred to as pineapple and it's kibbles and bits, So the kids are taking
riddling kibbles and bits. Okay, I don't know cheese. It's a mix
of black to her. I've knew that. I've known this. When black
to our heroin in Thailand PM, Okay, when you got the black I've
never done drugs in my life, never heroin. I've never so heroin.
Right, all right, so you got black tar heroin, which is probably
like the I mean, just one of the worst or the worst ones you
can do. What is the Thailand all PM supposed to add to that?
Okay, I don't understand this, you know, really really well. And
he had a came with pepsil. Well, by the way, it's tailing
all PM puts you to sleep, doesn't do that, I don't know.
From what I've heard. That's what they speak high. You could sit up
and enjoy the effect if you don't. Yes, yes, that's true.
Uh. Then there's there's a couple of other ones. There's like syrup pads.
It's people who use cold medicine and to get high. And I think
JaMarcus Russell the XM was in there. What it was a dextro dextro methaphorim
or metaphorm like that. Yeah, yeah, I think they make the ker.
I'm just telling you because they had this whole thing on the news,
and what reminded me. I think one of the headlines might have been our
local ABC affiliates had the Hidden Dangers and they had of drugs right hidden Dangers.
Interactive exhibit teaches gates Chili parents how to spot team drug use. So
they're going, you know where your kid may be hiding their vate pad.
I remember when I was a kid. That is important. Though I didn't
have I didn't get high a lot. I did, but I didn't get
high a lot. And somebody had given me weed. And I had a
vickey mouse piggybank that sat on a speaker I had hung on the wall.
I had it since I was a little kid. So I shoved the weed
up in the mickey bank, and uh, my parents would go away and
I would always have parties. Well, this one time I didn't have a
party, and we lived in a very rural area, so we never locked
the doors or anything. So a bunch of buddies came in and they drank
all the beer. They set up the beer cans in the wood burning stove,
found my pellet gun and started shooting at the cans and then found my
weed up Nickey's ass, And I'm like, I don't think my parents would
have even looked there. I don't think they would have ever looked. I
don't know that they with the friends they think like you. So yes,
that's what I'm saying. It takes a criminal, no criminal. They hidden
drugs, hidden dangerous drug but they were teaching you. Hey, if you
kids are gonna be hiding a vape pen and you look in this drawer,
gonna I know that the vaping is a a big deal. I did see
today what's the new what's the Swedish pouches? Nicotine pouches? Zin? Yeah,
because they're calling him z influencers online z y N and I guess one
of the like good Morning America. Somebody had a big thing on it on
how kids are getting addicted to nicotine with these zin patches, and you gotta
well, it's been that way forever. Well, I remember when the Marlboro
Man. Did the Marlboro Man ever come to your school and give a talk?
No? Oh, yeah, wait, you had the Marlboro Man come,
the original Marbool Oh yeah, So he was hilarious. He was great,
He talked about He was almost like a stand up comic. He got
up there and talked about how it was his job to lure young boys.
He goes, yeah, it sounds perverted, doesn't it. I was My
job was a lure a thousand new smokers or ten thousand new smokers a day.
I think a thousand sounds more right. I can't imagine if ten thousand
people a day start smoking cigarettes. You can get the way they told him.
How would he know if he got a thousand people to start smoking.
I don't know. But the idea with being the Marlboro Man would to be
this tough guy was to get a thousand new smokers every single day. Marborough
Man looked cool man. He was out of them. The Rocky Mountains had
those leather gloves. He laked up his cigarette. Yeah that's awesome, right
right, And so you know that was his That was his shock. And
then he eventually had a stroke. He had a stroke and he lost a
feeling in his leg, and his daughter couldn't remember which leg was numb,
and so she would stab him with like a fork and he goes, that's
the wrong leg. She was like trying to test how it numb. He
was you know, was he in a wheelchair when he came in? No,
he was like limping around the stage, but he I mean he was
still propingly danger Yeah, But it's how much money did he make it to
Marboro? Manah? He made a ton of money what I remember, you
know. But the thing is is that when it comes to vaping and all
this stuff, I gotta understand. Tell me why this looks? I could
see. I'm not excusing it, but I could see if somebody was smoking
cigarettes and they went to vaping because they have the nicotine, and then they
try it, they have to like fight that urge, okay, and it's
hard. Nicotine is an incredibly addictive substance. People go to rehab. They
stopped drinking, but they don't stop smoking. No, okay. So that's
why they invented the vape pens, which are just as bad. But like,
why did you start? Because they started inventing these flavors for you gotta
try this pineapple, you gotta try this lithium battery in it. All that
syrup is great. It's like it's like smoking your breakfast, but you're not
smoking because it's it's water, So it's not as uh, toxic to the
lungs, I guess in terms of smoke, But there is the concern over
the lithium battery. I'm not as familiar it is. It's just the same
thing throughout time. I think if you go back to when it was Adam
and Steve, I mean Adam and Eve. Okay, somebody said that today,
it's not God. Wait till we get out of the building. He
said, it's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. And it just
makes me laugh every time I've heard that. But anyway, true though,
the I think that teenagers have always wanted to be rebellioused, and so what
what do you not want me to do? I'm gonna to do it.
It's a cool way to get high way, to get a little bit of
a buzz off nicotine. Maybe it comes in a little more intensely. The
other thing there was a cigarette. It's not as traceable, right, I
don't smell like smoke. Well, he used to smoke. We I my
buddy and Michael Murray, who died many years ago in a car and terrible
d w I accident. But he and I used to steal his older brother's
cigarette and we would run off to the woods. I would come home.
I would come up. My parents were teachers. They were around kids.
They could spot the troll, you know, like the kids that were kind
of yeah. They never I would run in, brush my teeth, wash
my hands come out. Hey, I probably smelled like who knew what?
They didn't know? They didn't know. But I think the thing with vaping
is it's it's less traceable, right, Mom's not gonna smell have ash.
I mean, I remember smoking, thinking I'm all cool, driving a car
the cigarette and the wind from the have the window down, flips the cigarette
right and it lands between my back and the car seat. I wound up
having to pull over, take the shirt off. I got a hole in
the shirt, a hole in the seat. A halt, Right, what's
not it's not happening with the vappan man, no good good. Back when
you and I first started about eight, right before I started working with you,
I was on p x Y at the time, and my then girlfriend
who got moved over to p x Y, would vape in the studio.
They run those blue cigarettes, those yeah, those blue Yeah, they were
called blue blue. Yeah, that's what I want. Yeah, And she
would do it right in this like, that's no big deal. You guess
what you can't get in trouble for because it's not smoke, it's you could
do it inside. And then they put the kaibash on that. Yeah,
you know, you know what they say? What's that? I learned this
from a very famous radio DJ who started, I believe at one point was
in Rochester, guy by the name of Greaseman. And I learned from Greaseman.
If she smokes, she pokes, it's a great philosophy. I can
see that. Yeah she folks. I don't know, Danny, I'm not
just I'm not sure, but she would like she'd be so notorious about it,
kind of like remember like how Martin Downey Junior was a She was like
like going out of her way to let everybody know, Hey, smoking in
the studio. Look, well, what are you gonna do? Yeah,
what are you gonna do? We are at Jimmy Z's Plates and Shakes the
twenty first anniversary All year long come down here. Twenty one years in the
hospitality business, when you think about it, is incredible in and of itself,
with standing covid as. We talked to Jimmy about being able to navigate
that and to really have a smart business head, right. You know,
Jimmy will talk often about living below his means and doing that sort of thing,
hustling and hustling. He's really working like two jobs seven days a week.
You know. I had somebody write me, and I had I've been
terrible about responding. I've had a lot of different there's a lot of projects
happening and so but somebody wrote me, and I'll just address this here.
They said, I had my friend Chris Bianki on it, and Chris had
when we were seniors in college. And go back and listen to the Chris
Bianki Tips for Better Living episode. Chris was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma. So
I didn't remember Chris really going through treatment. And then it turned out he
waited till after graduation and did it then. And then as a result of
that, was told that the radiation probably would damage his organs and in twenty
or thirty years he could have some heart problems. And thirty years later,
here's this guy who's in pretty good shape and doesn't look his age, you
know, just goes down with a heart attack. Now down, I say
down, but not out. Let's put it that way, right, he's
up and doing great. But I said, I don't like the term battle,
and I like the term living with And this person wrote me, going,
I have a real problem with you saying that I had lymphoma and it
is a battle. It is a battle, and I'm not that that's fine.
Here's why I say that. I think if you soften language, if
you soften in a little bit, if you say things, well, if
you say, I think, words have tremendous power. Uh. And words
are usually the result of our thoughts, so, and our thoughts have a
lot of power. And I think when you say things like it's really hot,
it's really hard, or it's a little bit harder than I thought,
that's softer than hard. You see what I'm saying. It's a little bit.
You can lessen it. You can lessen which almost then in your mind
lessons it, which makes it. Hey, Look, they've done studies.
People who are optimistic accomplish way more than people who are pessimistic. Pessimistic people
may be more reality based, but they don't accomplish as much. It's just
it's a they've done studies. Okay, look at look at Jah. Yeah,
right, we talked about it. Yes, we found it six times.
Yes, yes, exactly. So that's my only point. But so
this person said the battle, Well, my thing would be even with the
grind and all that. I don't like those words. But yes, you
have to grind, you have to grind, But how do we say that
different? If you can get satisfaction out of it, I'll do things now
because I realize I get satisfied. I now stand. I do that cold
shower just as an Exampleay, I have an app, the Tabata app.
I don't know if people know what tabata exercises are, but basically what it
does is it gives you a time, counts it down. You go for
a certain amount of time, it could be one minute, five minutes,
whatever, and then it gives you a break and it counts down your rest
and then you do the next one. You can do like eight tabatas in
a row, so you can get a nice workout in half hour whatever.
So I have the tabata app. I have it for boxing stuff. But
I'll set it for like a minute and ten seconds and it gives me the
countdown. I'll be I'll get in the shower, I'll run the water first,
get everything all set, make sure it's really cold. Then I hit
the tabata app. Now I'm naked. I'm in the back of the shower
and I wait and it counts down and goes wheep work and I get in
there, and I'll tell you, like a minute and ten seconds is a
long time to stand there and on my hair, like I really want to
time it. And I defy you to do that and be mad when you're
done. I defy you. There's no you feel energized. It's not that
I start laughing. I fucking laugh. I'm laughing. I'm like, oh
my god, that's fucking crazy. And I grab the towel and I laugh,
and I'm drying myself off and I get out and it's only like a
minute and ten and I know people do it for three five minutes. Whatever
they do. I've done cold showing it sucks. I haven't. I've only
done that. This is freezing cold. And I'll stand in there and I
really under my you know, my arms all this, And my only point
is that if you push yourself a little bit that some people, Why would
you torture yourself that way? I feel satisfied after Why would you run?
I feel satisfied after and I feel better and I've got more energy. Why
would you go through whatever job you're doing because I feel satisfyed? Go with
that. Yes, it's a grind, but change your mindset. You can
make the whole journey a little bit better. That's my only point. Change
the language. Yeah, oh, absolutely talks about it all. Yeah,
yeah, you know your language is that say, man, this sucks.
If you say this is challenging, okay, why is it challenging? Well,
then then all of a sudden you're starting to think about, well if
I did this, and you start thinking about how you can change things and
make it easy, not easier. I got a plate, sit in here,
wait for me to dive in. We'll take a But yeah, that
language really helps. And I'm not saying you could speak stuff into existence.
That's not what I'm saying. I don't believe it. No, no,
no, no, But it is. It is making your psyche more adapt
to doing the tough things, the harder things. Yes, this sucks.
Well, you're already like defeating yourself when you say that. We will take
a moment so you can eat your plate. I'm gonna eat my Jimmy Z
Berger. Some of the tots here Jimmy Z's Plates and Shape. Yeah,

I love this. Yeah, I think it's fantastic. And then another
city, but I think this is a problem around the country. Uh,
nine one one calls that shouldn't be nine one one calls. If I got
the stats right, this city had over a million calls to nine one one,
but only forty five thousand a million, Only forty five thousand, not
five hundred thousand, which would behalf forty five thousand, were considered legitimate emergencies.
And of those, less than one thousand where shootings or stabbings. Nine
hundred, Yes, but that's still lot. But you'll hear some of these

What do we not allowed to do it anymore? Okay, you can't watch
Why can't you watch the Duke because they have Confederate flag on the general Yeah,
but the Confederate flag didn't represent some bad stuff to people, all right,
it did, But I mean they were like they were good old boys.

good guys. I mean, you can't like whatever, and then we can't

we're about to find out. But R Kelly did some bad stuff.
Girls, I shouldn't. I should yeah, yeah, yeah, you can't
argue with that. But awful, that's uh, it's terrible. But twenty
one years ago, ignition was a big, big song. Twenty one years
ago when Jimmy Z opened his doors here on Main Street and Brockport Man,
I just housed a burger that was so good, so good, and then
I had the tater tots just perfectly crisped or they Yeah, they were like
perfect. I just had to played. It was amazing. Yeah, it's
perfect. You didn't need the whole thing full because I've been getting like fuller
quicker now because I'm not eating as much. We're trying to lose this weight,
are you. How's that going you down? Yeah, I'm down?
All right? What are you doing? I'm down three pounds? Hey man?
Yeah, all right, baby steps. I think if I lose a
pound a day, I'll be invisible in two hundred days. Well that's great,
Yeah, alright, good. Is it frustrating? Yeah, it's frustrating,
okay, because I honestly I'm I'm doing the work and I'm not eating
garbage. Yeah, why don't you jump your metabolism and do like uh,
like I did a no steroids, do like a three day fast or something.
I've done that too, three days. It's done everything. I've done
everything. You didn't eat for three days, solid days, three days white?
Because actually, have you been eating? Like yeah? She goes,
no, you have it? They go no, But you wouldn't ask her
to, like you wouldn't tell her something in uh encouragement along the way.
I just kind of like try to avoid because like she you know, try
to avoid her. No, I don't try to avoid my wife. That's
not what I mean. I think, not just trying to. Here's what
happened. She was doing. It was during her she doesn't like what I
don't eat. Okay, she doesn't like that. Yeah, She goes,
you don't know what you're doing. You're gonna hurt yourself, like a concerned
wife. But I'm like, yeah, I do know what i'm doing because
I've seen people do this and it's worked. So she would be at musical
practice because she does musicals for her school, and so I just wouldn't eat.
I would just drink water for a few days, and she kind of
caught onto that time. I lost four pounds. That's it. That's it.
Usually you lose a little bit more. Yeah, I only lost four
pounds, and then when I started working my way back up, then the
weight started working my way back up. Why don't you like, Okay,
I mean, if you didn't eat at all, didn't you know, just
drank water, dude, water in supplements all right? Yeah, I mean
I've done the whole thing, Like I've done the one meal a day thing.
I've done the Keto diet. I have done protein shakes, just protein
shakes. It's just you're just I have a hormonal issue. Hormonal Yeah,
you're just you're just a fat I wonder if I have like male menopause.
Yeah, I think I got it from Kevin, you got I think I
got it from Kevin Malo. Pause, why try the just kidding keV just
can't try the wild? Yeah? I want to do that? Serious?
Give me my next thing? Are you? Yeah? Try it? My
wife like is like, you have all these supplements that you don't you take?
I go, They're not getting you any better. I'm like, oh,
thanks, I appreciate that. Meanwhile, she's sick. I'm fine.
I don't feel sick at all. Do you think it's from your supplements?
Yeah? And I exercise too. I take care of myself. It's just
the like the I look, I looked back to you exercise backwards. What
do you mean you put the weight back on? I thought you to do
cardio first. Danny runs reverse to the treadmill when I'm on the I can't
lose this weight. When I'm like, I try, I do sprinting on
the treadmill. I want to see that. When you set up a video
please, yeah. Sure, we gotta get a website going. I gotta
get the godchamn webs telling you. I would love to have a video of
Danny or In on the treadmill sprinting. Danny is a weird gait anyway when
he walks. I do I know. Oh God, I've told your stories
of well at your house, it's more of alliptical bull flex elliptical ball.
Okay, yeah, right, all right, So and you spread on that.
Oh please give me a video you huffing and puff in the wae.
Yeah. God, two minutes, two minutes just doing the normal pace and
then thirty seconds of sprinting. I do that ten times for twenty minutes.
You can't, I say, because they say sprinting is the best way to
lose fat. Uh huh. That's why I think I have Seriously, you
must be doing it in reverse. I must, yeah, apparently, Bill,
But I mean I burned like seven hundred, eight hundred calories during a
workout. Okay, so that's a lot. Actually that's a lot because in
boxing, if we got up around five six hundred calorie burn that was a
lot. And you really would work I mean you it's up to the individual.
Not everybody's gonna burn that. But if you go in there and you're
really hitting the bag and working the mits and doing the ropes and doing stuff,
you can burn it. But that so seven hundred, yeah, I
would do when I would do ten minutes like a thousand punches, right,
I would burn at least one hundred calories in those ten minutes. Yes,
just doing punches. That's more than what you would do just walking or running
on a treadmill. It really is. Yeah, So I try to do
that to like get you know, get me loosened up. Then I get
the treadmill, do the sprinting, then I do the weights. Oh god,
damn, I want a video of this so badly. Okay, it's
gotta be like a cartoon character working out. I mean, I love you,
bro, but that's gotta be some funny shit. Yeah, some fat
guy will make fun of me. Yeah, what are you doing? You
know? Does looks pretty good? But old whole Cogan. No, now
he's still jacked. But he is still jacked. How about this. This
is the greatest thing. You gotta go seek this out again. I gotta
get the sounds like I'm yelling at somebody, gotta get the we's like going,
I have somebody working with the Hulk Hogan shows up at his son's DW
I R S d U. I res Hulk Hogan. And by the way,
his son's been in jail for a while. Yes, in two thousand
and eight, he was speeding. I believe killed a friend or severely damaged.
Yeah, this kid was like if I remember the story only because I
like these kind of race stories and they caught my I think the kid,
I think he was racing Hogan had some kind of late nineties model sports car,
maybe a Nissan something, and he was racing somebody in a viper,
and I'm pretty sure he lost it. And this is why I will always
say, like I talked about all the shit that I did in school,
were you there at night? I talk about doing one hundred and ten miles
an hour and all that, but these roads aren't built for that. Now,
out in Appalasia, there were no sidewalks and things that you would you
know, you could possibly pop a wheel on a curb. You weren't going
to do that, But to go in a ditch or a culvert it was
not unheard of. But he was speed and I think he hit a he
lost it, lost it on a sidewalk, hit a curb, and I
think flipped over. And there was a twenty two year old kid who I
thought had served in Iraq that was severely damaged to the accident, and I
thought he went to jail. Was that around the wight. Yeah, Nick
went to jail. Yeah, Nick after the reality show. So now he
got Nick and I guess during the reality show. I didn't watch it,
but was he a real helicopter dad? Would that be a fair term?
Like protective dad? They kind of turned him into one. Okay. The
guy used to be on the road with three hundred days a year. Okay,
so he But so now this is the greatest. This is the greatest.
I don't know if anybody else noticed it. But he shows up at
the Dui and he's got a cane. Yeah, he's got to work walk
with a cane. Yeah, he's had like twenty back surgeries. Okay,
he still jacked. But he's like takes him two hours a day to get
out of bed. He's like an old man. He's like old man biker
looking with the mustache, the skin that's just a little lattery. He looks
like mister Tunnell. But he's in Okay, So I don't know what time
this is that he got pulled over. This was November. It's dark,
right, so it could they could be anywhere from what six o'clock in the
evening to one two in the morning. I have no idea what time it
is. Ugan shows up and he's in a sleeveless shirt with its face on
it. It's Hogan's face. I go, who the fuck walks around in
their own shirt? That's like the Beach Boys guy wearing Beef Boys out of
his hat all entirely. He's gonna forget what bandy's in. I go,
he said to someone. I go, there's guys in Rochester who walk around
with their own band shirts all the time. Do they all right? While
you're trying to promote yoursel I've never done your whole Hogan, Yeah, fucking
huge. You're walking around. It's a cool looking shirt. I was like,
it's cool. I go, wait, wait, that's he walks around.
He's Hogan. It's almost like Hogan probably got the call. I wonder
how long it took him to show up roadside, because you gotta get Hogan
up. It's like the old He's like Lenny Kravitz, like the David's Page
Lenny Kravitz joke about Lenny Kravitz was one of my favorites. He goes,
man, being Lenny Kravits is hard. You just want a bag of skittles.
You gotta put on a rib shirt. You gotta put a pick in
your hair, you gotta walk down. It was like all this stuffing.
It's impossible to put your chains on. You gotta put your chains on.
Let me er. Let me tell you something. Brother, So Hogan's son
now when they got him. I don't know if you saw this, but
I saw the whole video. I saw. I saw it. I saw
it from like four different cop But how funny. Now, let me ask
you. Did you find it odd in any way that Hogan shows up at
his son's DUI arrest. Yeah, okay, that's a fine, if you
want to make sure the kid's there. I don't know. I'm sure the
kid called, or's somebody from the truck had called. But you show up
in a sleeveless Whole Hogan shirt. I wouldn't expect anyone his own face on
the shirt. Jimmy, I couldn't believe it. I wouldn't. I wouldn't
expect that. Really, I went, who walked around and yeah, it's
listen Hulk Hogan. Uh will forever? Especially now like the only thing Hogan
has left is being tight to wrestling. Well clearly not clearly not a movie
man. He is bang banged up. I mean he's in his seventies.
Yeah, but I mean I saw him walking with the Olympia almost felt bad
for him. And he seems like such a docile, sweet guy. He
really seems like honestly got Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. He had
some trouble a few years ago when Bubbla Loves Sponge taped too. I remember
that Hogan his wife and then like he started talking about his daughter marrying,
you know, possibly he definitely didn't walk. He definitely didn't walk to the
scene as if like his son was innocent, and like, you know,
what can we He's just basically like, all right, what do you do?
All right, it's his first one. Oh yeah, let me just
call my lawyer and that's it. You know, you know, you know,
no, he didn't make it. He was he was cool, and
he was cool to the kid. But this is my favorite part. This
is what's the kid's name, Nick? Nick? This is uh Nick Hogan
talking to the office. So the officer gets him out of the truck.
They're already out of the truck and here we go, Happy, happy anniversary.
Sorry, nothing in drinks tonight, So it's just you said in passengers.
Yeah, that's just strong on your breath. Sorry, it's that I
was. Did you hear my girlfriend? I was just kissing the cocks.
That's that's what sure gonna say that you're kissing your girlfriends. That's why you
have alcohol from off the breath. I'm sorry, sorry, that was that's
He sounds strung like. I think he was about to say sorry, sure,
that was a dumb thing to say, but he goes, yeah,
that's I'm saying. Oh yeah, I mean he was. He was toasted.
You can tell he was toasted. I mean he's pretty good thinking on
your feet though. I smell like alcohol because I made out with faces my
girl z broad As. You just pulled me over because the cop walked up
to the cargoes. You almost hit me. Yeah. Well, we know
a politician in town whose cousin who's also a politician, John Lightfoot. Remember
the whole story. He came into our studio and the reason that he got
a d WY was that with the breathalyze, the yeast, the bread of
the sandwiches, it was fermented and therefore led to him to get the d
w Y. And that sounds really making out. I'll tell you that.
Right, by the way, what kind of bread was the bun? Potato?
The best, so good, so good, so very of the finest
buns here at the Ziho. Yes, only the finest buns. That just
made me laugh today. Then the other thing that was making me last is
because you know, like if you saw somebody driving erradically, it's not uncommon
that you would call nine one one. So they did this whole story.
This happened to be in Atlanta, but I'm going this happens in Rochester.
This happens everywhere. I can't imagine it in my mind. A worst job,
Like I don't they put kind of after twenty years on law enforcement,
and I think even fire department, you can retire. And I think that's
like a psychological thing because it's so the job is so tough, right,
you're seeing this stuff. People are calling nine one one, and you're not
doing it for fun. Usually it's people at their lowest moments. I would
think a nine one one operator, like, you really need a mental break
at some point. I don't know how you do that job. You got
to be able to compartmentalize or something you want to talk about here see and
deal with all. Yeah, I mean they're hearing people out their worst and
stay in calm and moving through. But some people are calling nine one one
not for the right reasons. Listen to this one, not one of your
emergency. Yeah, you don't know what this score is, do you?
It's a legitimate nine one one call. You don't know what the score is?
Do you? That's like can yougeeah? Yeah? Here. Meanwhile,
data he shared showed that the majority from Atlanta. I think it works everywhere
the real emergencies. You said, you're trying to move from one couse to
another count Yeah, this is one of more than a million calls Metro Atlanta
residents made to the city's E nine on one center last year, just wasted
resources. At the City Council's Public Safety Committee meeting Monday, emergency service officials
said conversations like it made up a majority of calls to dispatch from one.
Let's hear of your emergency. Yeah, you don't know what the story is,
do you? Definitely assistance from APD's Chief administrative Officer, Peter Amon,
who told committee members one point three million calls handled by atl E nine one
one in twenty twenty three only forty five thousand were deemed serious emergencies, and
only nine hundred of those were shootings or stabbings, which kind of made me
feel good. I go, that's okay. N of one point three million,
Yeah, that's pretty good. Sure, I'm okay with until you realize
once you do the math, the ninety percent of those calls are complete bs.
Like remember when you and I worked together and it became a trend where
people were calling nine one one for McDonald's, like they screwed up my owner.
Oh yeah, two big Macs and they gave me two big MAXs.
Somebody ever called uh, nine one one on Jimmy Z's? Did they over
the twenty one years? I no, Jimmy z Oh, I don't think
we had any The only person that was calling nine one around here with me?
Oh yeah. Can you have you had anything happen like in here where
someone went down and you needed to take care of them, like sometimes like
anybody listen for the amount of hours we were open after midnight? Yeah,
in our existence, yeah, I would say that the you're in a college
down, you must have had pranks pulled the here. Oh yeah, there
there was a little bit of everything. We had some upper deckers. You
know what I mean? I know a guy who did want here about it?
Yeah, I'll pay off air. Yeah, I like, like I
would love Jimmy the guy, the first guy out. The first night I
met him, he told me this story. I'm like, and you're proud
of that. I want to be a broadcaster. Well, on a second,
the first night he met you, you guys met that was that.
That was the the so he was. That was Jimmy Z. That that
was the do you know who I am? That was his moment. That
was his moment. What happened was I was dating up Decker, I was
dating a Brockport I was dating that was your moment? Athetic I was dating
a Brockports senior at the time, and she introduced me to her friends who
wanted to get into radio and television. And when it was somebody shows,
he'll go Jimmy Z and he goes, hey, I got great Jimmy Z
story. I'm like, okay, I go, what's you means? I
don't live in brockporny he told me. And he goes, yeah, I
looked at in his toilet. I go for what I don't know? Yeah,
great, congratulations yeah, it's nice. Yeah, yeah, now let
me go. You realize I work in broadcasting. I can help you out,
but I don't know if I want to. Did this person ever make
it on radio or TV? Yes? Yes they did. It was a
TV television it was was it sports? Yes? Yes? Was the channel
thirteen? Yes? Yeah, I know exactly where the short fucker is.
He's not in television anymore. Yeah, I mean, listen, you can't
insult the camera that much, you know. Oh God, I wish I
could reach over Huggy right now. That was phenomenal. You know who it
was? Oh, I know exactly who it is. But you knew,
Like did you know prior to the story. I didn't know. No,
No, I had no idea he had left one. But I throughout the
years, there's a handful of people who for whatever reason, got rubbed the
wrong way here, okay, or just thought it was a challenge's like a
funny thing. No, he was rude. I I don't know that.
It's been so long that I can't remember. Like when I found out he
had negativity about us. It was after his Brockport time, okay, and
I'm negativity. Well, you know, like why would you wouldn't leave a
nupper decadet somebody unless you had a heart on for him, right, Yeah,
let's be honest here. Yeah, you know what I mean. So
I didn't know there was a disconnector there was. Well, I mean when
I was a kid, I used to climb to the top of the stalls
and see if I could ship from the top. Yeah, like way up
high and hit and call the bombs away. I didn't do it because I
was mad at anybody. I just I just heard. I don't remember the
exact scenario on what his beef was, but I had found out after he
was already on TV that he had some kind of beef with one of the
establishment or myself. And I don't know, I don't recall what that was.
Somebody with a girl. Probably, I don't know. I mean,
I'm just speculating. I don't know if that's the case, because I don't
remember. I'm like the like, this is the first. This is my
first, Like, you know, you ever get a second chance to make
a first impression. Yeah, this was his first story. Listen, listen,
man, I don't know what his beef was, but I can definitely
tell you had something to do with short man syndrome. Okay, I don't
even know. I don't think I've ever met the guy. Yeah, yeah,
I don't think i've ever met him. Yeah, I'm sorry to bring
it up. No, no, I'll be honest with you. I don't
even in his defense, he grew up since then, he's grown up.
Yeah, most people have. And like I said, I'm not going to
hold it against them. Oh no, Jimmy, I think you should try
to get invited to a party in the in their bathroom, the master bath.
Yeah, you know what I mean, Like, let's put it this
way. You know a lot of people, you know, we did a
lot of things in our twenties that we probably wouldn't do now. Yes,
And the sad thing is there's there are people out there that would still do
the same thing now that they did in their twenties. Is those people we
got to watch out? Yeah, right, right right. I don't think
he's one of those people. Yeah. Oh no, No, hard feelings.
I mean, I listen, there too much has been accomplished over the
last twenty one year to sit here worry about that. But and I just
had my I just had my two minutes of peace with it. Anyway,
you know, if you know, if that's if that's the card you're gonna
pull on, Like, you know, do you know who I am?
Dude? Man? You know what I mean. We're in the Michael Jordan
booth. I notice, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is the Michael
Jordan's all the Michael Jordan's. Danny looked around and I used to get Sports
Illustrated too, which now the magazine has folded. I think they're just keeping
their NFL division online. Pretty there's no more there's no more Sports Millia,
no, so just the Sports Illustrated just one puts right now. They've they're
trying to sell the rights the Sports Illustrated to somebody. Yeah, the name
and everything else in the brand. But it's pretty much like I mean,
they've been on their last legs for about ten years now, even no,
about fifteen years. Like it's just the magazine's gotten thinner and thinner, the
writing's gotten worse and worse, and it's just nobody has time to sit down
anymore for long form journalism. No. Anything you can read in a Sports
Illustrated that you had to wait to get on a weekly basis, you can
read on your phone right right, It goes back to the instant access we
have. I think I look forward to Thursdays and Fridays when the mail would
come. We get the Sports Illustrated and I mean I looked at I got.
I mean I got the OJ one. Yeah, that's Aid, the
charge Mark. I had that one. I had the Shack one, that
Joe nama It one, the Oh Happy Jays one. Yeah. I had
like half of these growing up. No, but times have changed. The
Tyson off Holyfields deer. I got that one. I got half of these.
I remember the bag at Michael when he was playing for the White Sox.
That one, yeah, this one. All these, like the pictures
were great. But ESPN I think has ditched the magazine. Yeah, if
you really want great sports writing, the Athletic is I think unmatched right now.
I know, I mean, I don't know how you think there the
ESPN, but I even think it's better than ESPN. I think it has
more time to go in depth. Yeah, because they don't have to report
every single night on an old life. They're running more of a back There
was a story there, right if you like the store, which was what
you got in Sports Illustrated. The way we read and watch and here has
completely changed. There's a reason why there's no more CDs left the stores.
They just they just stopped saying that they're not going to do DVDs and Blu
rays anymore. Yeah, you know, so like the way we have with
the way we knew to get our stuff, it's just for getting in a
different way. So I'm not shocked at all that, you know that Sports
Illustrates in the tubes, you know, and I mean Rolling Stone is a
shell of what it was. Oh my gosh, that magazine has really just
fallen off. It's so bad. I remember we used to looking forward to
going to the school library and getting the latest Rolling Stone. And it was
bi weekly, wasn't it. It didn't come out every week. Well,
the same way, the same way. The quality of craftsmanship in just almost
everything now has gone downhill. It's the same exact thing with the quality of
you know, I mean, it's just who the people that were running Sports
Illustrated and Rolling Stone in their heydays, Yeah, that's gone those that's over
with, and so now you have a new generation people running the stuff.
It's not going to be the same. Well that and the fact that you
know, everything's on demand that online people can get now. Rolling Stone will
do some expos a's and things, but a lot of it. You know.
I think they were the ones who had the whole thing on Jimmy Fallon.
They did that whole story. And uh, I don't know if I
were to put my microphone on this over here, would you be with Okay,
yes, because there was I don't know who this comedian is, but
he had this skit on mindfulness okay, and it was just great. It
was just why do I think it's Bill Burr? But I don't know,
No, it wasn't. It wasn't Bill Burr, but but it was a
skin on mindfulness and and it was here. It is here, it is.
When I was a teenager mentioned the word mindfulness And do you know why
that was? Because we were mindful half of every fucking day because we didn't
have a choice. We didn't have a fucking cable service in our fucking pocket.
You waited for somebody, you waited mindfulness. You were on the bus,
You're on the US watching Condensation trip. I didn't realize I was like
a fucking guru. Return of VHS. You gotta rewind that ship mindfulness.
Have you ever rewound anything in your life? Oh my, you are the
post rewind generation, judge you. I'm just saying that there were times we
were forced to be with ourselves. No, I used to take a ship,
just ship. I can't remember the last time I just took a ship.
It was definitely over a decade ago. Who is that? It sounds
like Michael Rappoport was. I was wondering if that name is das Bishop?
Oh Dad's bishop. Okay, I had somebody else in my mind. Yeah,
No, I mean so that's a great bit. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I took a ship. I was just taking a ship. Yeah
yeah. Or I was taking a ship and reading Sports Illustrated. But I
was actually reading, which is good for my mind. Ye, not watching
something. Yeah that's funny. All right, we'll take a moment, we
have a while, we'll do one more set. We are Jimmy Z's Plates
and Shakes, Main Street, Brockport, rocking it every Wednesday through Sunday,
twenty one years. And the food is delicious, excellent, Love the potato
buttons. Danny had the plate. I had to play the cheeseburger plates cheeseburger
plate excellently and you know, we'll get down here, and Jimmy has been
openly talking about handing the restaurant off to somebody else and then and going on.
But twenty one years it's a nice run right here on Main Street and
Brockport with Jimmy Z's Plates and Shakes. Iron Smoke Distillery, right here in
the heart of Fairport, New York. It's just won another award, that's
right. They got the Liquid Gold Award from Jim Murray's Whiskey Bible with a
ninety five point five rating for their bottle in Bond, which is really incredible
right here in fair Port. Forbes Magazines has one of the ten best bourbons
outside of Kentucky. Iron Smoke Distillery. You gotta get in there. It's

band is called the Arcade. Then why not come back Friday February second for
the acoustic Sunset sessions with a Monica Hall duo, and then at eight thirty
Friday night, February second, Beatles Rock. That's right, Beatles Roc.
Do I need to explain it? I don't think. So, get yourself
a drink and enjoy with Iron Smoke Distillery in Fairport, New York. Baby
living my life in those slow hell different girl every night at the hotel.
That sounds rough, I hain't seen the sunshine and three damn day. I
was thicking this song today for some reason. You were. Yeah, twenty
one years ago Whiskey got kicked out of my place and had a good girl
and miss me twice. He actually sings Wow, he does, so I
don't wonder if my lover change my way. You know how he like for
trends, pretends to be a trailer for kid I put you He's not though
his parents. He's a trust fund kid. His parents own car dealerships in
Michigan. Oh, he just made him. He just basically took what they
gave him and turned into a rock star. So you gotta give me credit
for that. Yeah, But then I love sherl Crow. I put your
picture. He's always so pissed off when they allowed that chick. We were
there, you were here, Yeah, I was there. Yeah, Cheryl
Crow came in and then she did an interview with Cheryl Crow. Yeah,
and it's like, you like to run next? Do you run? Cheryl?
I run too. I was like, God, damn it, why
can't we do this? Yeah, I remember, that's why they're jocks and
not talk show hosts, or at least let the afternoon guy talk to her.
I think a girl is just nervous, to be honest with you.
Yeah, but ll Crows are pretty Peter and I were doing the podcast in
the next room. Do you remember that too. Peter and I were taping
our own little podcast at the time. Yeah, Peter Montarno and I had
a podcast together, and that's how I ended up getting the sports radio job,
like a couple of years later. Was because of my podcast with Peter.
But like, everyone's watching her in the green room and Peter and I
are doing a podcast in the studio next door, and people keep looking at
us because Cheryl Crook, who are those two idiots? I'm here playing my
songs. I'm Sheryl Crow, and you got these two yo yo's wow in
the next room doing a podcast. I have a funny feeling she just thought
you were hot. Maybe she was like god damn and he and we talked
about it afterwards, like, yeah, shore Crow's not as hot as she
used to be. WHOA said that? Oh? Did I see something that
talked about it. I don't think I would say anything is such a thing
about a woman ever? Just because the rolling Stone said time on the story
of building in a woman's face. I don't know twenty one years ago this
song. I can't believe it was twenty one years ago, sure, because
my Sonny just turned twenty two yesterday. It was just a little child and
his cousins were over and one of the little girls kept singing this song.
Man honey, a lot of the song and she kept singing it, and
I remember the picture. But we are at Jimmy'sz's plates and shakes, you
know, Danny, speaking of sports, have you followed this story. We'll
do two lighter sports stories. I'll let you kind of pontificate on the bills
a little bit. I know, I got you're Danny's like a locomotive.
But you know what I'm saying, Like you start out, it's like,
I mean, I don't know if you're like an Asian locomotive that just shoots
really fast bullets, you're bullet trained in Japan. I got to work on
that. No you don't. It's fine, but you don't have to work
on it. I'm just it's fine. Just picking on you the but I'll
let you say that. But have you followed this story about the Kansas City
fans? Have you noticed? Have you heard? Four of them ended up
dead and somebody. Three of them ended up in somebody's backyard. So after
the game, there are five guys watching the game. Three of the guys
are now dead. One guy left before midnight and went home. The guy
whose house it was claims he passed out for two days, didn't hear the
phone, and had like noise canceling sleep something headphones on. I hope I'm
not complaining stories here. I wonder who did it? No so well interesting
because people are coming at this guy now has checked himself into rehab. I
think more for a mental break because he's getting from around the country people saying
you killed your friends, what did you do? Blah blah blah. These
guys were, I believe in their maybe mid to late thirties, healthy guys
not you know, I mean one of them probably looked like they'd have a
heart attack in ten years, but that's ten years. Yeah, But I
think one of the fathers of these guys are going something happened. He knows
something, He knows something. So this guy does know something. The autopsies
are done with, they just haven't released the findings, so they know how
these guys died. They froze to death outside now, but what was the
contributing factor to that? So I did catch this on Fox News, a
close source telling Fox Nation, not only is a whole count accusing him of
murdering his friends without factual details evidence there any charges at this time, but
he also lost three close friends. So what happened here? The reaction forensic
pathologist in Foxting's contributor, doctor Michael Budden, Doctor, good morning, good
morning. See it's so puzzling because mister willis of the four people who were
in the house that night. There was a fifth, but he left him
midnight. Of the four people, he's the one guy whose house it was
and the one guy who didn't die. Yeah, but it sounds like from
what's been released so far, that he slept for a long period of time.
It may be that all four of them took something that made them pass
out. He passed out indoors and slept it off. They passed out in
the cold weather and snow. Body much sense it would go? How could
all three guys pass out? You know what I'm saying, Like one guy's
not gonna be somewhat constant. Let's get back inside. Rhythm goes and the
person dies of a cardiac arrest. He says, something here that stood out
because of the cold, hypothermia, and the toxicology would be very helpful because
the toxicology will tell us the level of what was present and the level.
This may be just a recreation. I'm surprised it hasn't happened with bills fans
by the way. Yeah, puzzling because it would be one thing if it
was one person, But the simultaneous deaths of three people. You're you're absolutely
right. The most common simultaneous deaths are caused by carbon monoxide. But that's
indoors or outdoors. Outdoors, you don't die of carbon monoxide. And that's
why I think that they took something that drug uses commonly saying they all all
four may have taken the same unknown they may not have known what was in
the maturial they were taking, and they got confused, they passed out.
One pair is out indoors and sleeps it off. The others are outdoors and
die of the cold. And I'm sure the police already know they weren't the
scene. They got information from the scene what was used and not they I'm
sure this Willis person is talking and cooperating with what he knows. The police
are looking for whoever supplied the drug, and when they find out, they'll
release the information. They know the cause of death, they know what the
toxicology is by now, so the cops, the case cops are so I
don't know, if I pause it, I think he says in there,
there are certain levels of fentanyl that you can take that won't kill you,
but it'll it'll make you pass out, right, and if you're not if
you're just a recreational user, or it's in a drug that you're doing or
whatever. And somebody has said they were doing drugs at that house. I
don't. I have no idea, but for three guys to go outside,
pass out and freeze to death is freaky. Yeah, And it's like a
it's like a it's a frequency. When did they find them dead? Though,
Like the next day, Okay, I think somebody went over one of
the girlfriends, one of the fiancees, like where the funck is he?
And went over to the house finally looked. Didn't they wake up with the
dude who was like, yes, okay, yes, but they they were
calling and calling. He's not answering. So I think this one of the
one of the guy's fiancees went over and found found him frozen. You know,
well that pathologist was that a pathologist? They said, Uh, the
forensic dude, whoever he was, he have a pretty reasonable explanation for what
may have happened. Well, he's saying later on, I didn't let it
go long enough. He says. There's different types of fentanyl that will be
put in drugs, and if you're not you know, used to it,
it won't It'll just you'll pass out. You may pass out for an extending
to sleep it off, he goes, But you can't sleep it off outside.
No, that's the thing. So I don't know how high these do.
These guys all just all of a sudden wandering in the backyard and one
of them fell dout and so somebody got out. I don't think this guy
murdered him, but you'd have to move. I mean, if you're that
guy, you got to move. And he can no longer root for the
Kansas City Chiefs. And we don't want you Bill's mafia together. We don't.
The real estate agent, Stephanie, I had taken that house. So
it's been lived in, it's been dieted too. One other one other sports
thing that's kind of grabbing. Uh, some let's say back page news back
in the day. It would be the Panthers have a new head coach,
Dave Canalis. Yes, Dave Canalis, who was Tampa Bay offensive coordinator anything
before that with the Seahawks. Uh. He has a book that he and
his wife wrote. Did you know about this? Oh? Yeah, yes.
He revealed scandalous details about his infidelity, pornography, addiction in Bidden's Drinking
in a book he co authored with his wife. Sixteen months before becoming the
head coach. Can Alice and wife Lizzie penned a faith based book called This
Marriage Question Mark, The Question That Changed Everything, and they revealed how he
overcame past addictions. So I guess he had like a I don't know.
He said, I was living a secret life. No matter how hard I
tried to going to church, reading my Bible and praying, I always had
a secret, a dark place that was just mine. And that happens.
He published a book in September twenty twenty two, when he was still with
the Seahawks as a position coach, before he got his big break with the
Buccaneers. We wanted other people to feel safe starting the journey toward a vibrant
marriage by helping them see they're not alone, the couple wrote in the book's
preface. And he yeah, So I guess he had a big and I
did not know this. Well he's a boring guy now, but man,
he was a shit ton of fun. Well now, well, everybody talks
about the most refreshing coach in the NFL is Mike McDaniel. Yeah, which
is often the kiss of death. Yeah, because when the media annoints you
as someone they like, Yes, bad things usually follow. Right. So
McDaniel is a very interesting dude. He's not your Mike Ditko type or Tom
Landry type. He's the exact He's not Sean mccurmott either No, Okay,
he's an offensive genius. But he had his problems. He had a drinking
issue. He had to go to rehab. He hasn't had a drink,
I guess in eight or nine years now. Wow. But I mean these
guys, when you become an NFL coach man, you are in the office
literally eighteen hours a day, seven days a week. There are no days
off between little porn breaking, between the start between the start of training camp
until like about the end of the draft. Yeah, you're pretty much or
Minica't Like the only month you get to yourself is maybe June, all right,
the other eleven months. Let me go back to this though for a
second. Like I get having the problem. It's between you and your wife.
You work it out. Then she says to you, I don't know
who comes up with the idea for the book, but I'm thinking it's her.
Oh, it's always I gotta think I got what you. Kelly,
his wife wrote the book. I think it's got to be hers. He's
always talking about this stuff because she's probably very, very hurt by it.
But here's my thing. Now, everybody knows and when I say everybody,
I want you to think of everybody in your life, your mom. Your
mom, your mom know your brother. Yes, your sister knows, your
grandmother. Your grandmother knows, your great aunts, who are judgmental of everything.
That commercial, the Geico commercial, your kindergarten teacher, your high school
coach is proud that you're a coach. He now knows all the stuff.
Now, I think some people won't be that judgmental about it, but I
I don't know. Like I mean, part of the reason that I've talked
about on the podcast that I went and lived in Utah was I, Yeah,
I had a little bit I doug looking at porn. I used to
go buy the glossiest, shiniest, most filthy magazines I could find. Back
in the day. My father goes, if I ever find this in the
house again, you can't live here, and uh, I said, you'll
never find it, and he did. It's big point was like, look,
man, I don't want that in here. You got a brother is
eight years younger than you. This is my house. Not cool. I
get it now. I got it then, but I didn't appreciate it.
Yeah, and I would say that it's not a great habit to be in.
It's not there's just I think they've proven many times there's more detriment to
it than than benefit. I mean, get you get off, you feel
good, whatever, But repeatedly, it can hurt relationships, It can hurt
you physically. Can you lack motivation sometimes if you're doing a lot of that,
I mean, that's all I'm taking that, not even biblical stuff,
not even sinning and just saying life right like that, it leads to problem.
But I go, I don't want to sit down and put pen to
paper with my wife and then I have to relive every time. How much
hurt you told me once? How many times are we going to go around
the block on this? Would be like, do you think that's terrible?
She put the guilt trip on. Hey, I don't know. Maybe it
was him, Maybe he decided I can't say I know, but I'm asking
you do you think? Yes? I do, Dick. And if you
think I'm an asshole? Fine. She made him write the book and said,
if you want to hold this together and have a really good life,
I will help you. I will help for it. But you got to
admit everything to everybody. And by the way, in a book, in
a book that we can take out anytime you start to slip, and we'll
go back to chapter seven. You remember chapter seven that it's gonna be hookers
and booze. Yeah, that's it all right, real quick, Danny,
we're gonna be wrapping it up here at Jimmy Z's Plates and shakes. Bobby
Babbage good, hire bad, higher, don't know, okay, And anybody
who says they do know it is a liar because they don't know. No.
Uh. He interviewed with the Dolphins. I think there was disappointment that
somebody with more experience who may have been a head coach at Greg Conner said
yesterday, I like leaders who will compensate for their weaknesses by hiring people who
can do that. Great CEOs, great leaders a lot of times will say
hey, look I'm not great at this, so I'll hire someone smarter than
me in this area and we'll be fantastic. Yes, And that was sort
of Greg's thinking. Greg didn't say this guy would be bad. Don't know.
He's on these media guys who says all the right things. Who's that
Bobby Babbit? But yeah, so did Brandon Staley. And now he's back
with the Rams as a defensive coordinator why because people get like, the media
loves great sound bites, but then when you start losing, those great sound
bites don't sound so good. And with Babitch, he sounds great in front
of a camera. Let's see the babe. It could be Babbage, but
his father was. His father was a defensive coordinator for the Bears under around
Rivera's time. I always say that he sounds like a baseball player, Bobby
Babbitch. It's funny because when well, here's a funny story. When Dick
Jaron became the Bills head coach, he wanted to bring Bob Babbitt Senior to
be the defensive coordinator. I think Rivera or Lovey Smith. The Bears said
no and took him. No. They know we're keeping him, so they
end up going with Perry Fuel, and Perry Fuel ended up coordinating the defense
with the Giants. That won't that beat Bill Belichick won the scow Yea.
Yeah, you know now, Fuel wouldn't have gotten that chance if they didn't,
if the Bears hadn't said no. Now, his son, Baby's son
is now the Bill's defensive coordinator. It's we'll see if McDermott allows him to
call plays. We don't know. Here's what we do. Now, if
the Bill's defense succeeds and he gets a head coaching job, it doesn't matter
who was successful or now, whether it was McDermot or Babbage. Babbage is
gonna move on to become a head coach. Okay, if if the defense
sucks, he's gonna get thrown in the lions by McDermott. You could put
that in freaking ink. Yeah, Dan Burrell said it here first on BILLI
five. Okay, he's gonna be thrown to the freaking wolves. That's what's
gonna happen, because that's how the organization, right. I mean, Joe
Brady should not be the offensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bill. I'm surprised they
if Frank Reich wasn't brought back. The reason they'll never bring Frank Reich back
is because McDermot woul always be looking over his shoulder. Same reason why they
didn't bring Ron Rivera in to take the job. Yeah there was another head
coach here. Yeah, he's paranoid. And I'll tell you what. And
here here's the thing. I said this as soon as I saw this yesterday,
soon as I saw that Ben Johnson was coming back to the lines as
the offensive coordinator, and as soon as Bobby Slok was going to come back
as the offensive coordat of the Texans, I go the tweets about him being
either of these guys being the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills in three
two one, Oh yeah, everybody was talking about. Everybody kept saying,
oh yeah, McDermott f's up. And by the way, there's a pretty
good chance the Bills aren't gonna make the playoffs next year. Can tell you
why, Well, I think it could be because of the salary cap.
Salary CAP's part of it. But here's the here's the dilemmability. Everybody's getting
better in the conference. And by everybody, I mean everybody. Okay,
let's start with our on division. Guess who's coming back. Aaron Rodgers with
the Jets. Yeah, okay, I'm here and it's been chaos down there,
it has, but he's still a pretty Yeah. Chaos brought them the
four NFC championship games in Green May right. Joe Burrow, he's the one
guy who, like somebody wrote this, and it's kind of interesting. If
you looked at Alan, he looked at Burrow. Allan's blood pressure kind of
goes up against the Chiefs, where Burrow he stays pretty calm. Yeah he's
not. I'm not saying that Allen's intimidating, but I'm saying Burro's like,
Okay, I got this, watch me beat them and he's done it.
Okay, Burrow's gonna come back. Now. I don't know what's gonna happen
in Cleveland, but de Shaw Watson's gonna come back. Maybe they could fix
him. There's always these teams too that we don't expect. They're gonna show
up and play well. Is it the Patriots next year? And hope,
by way, Jim Harbaugh's coaching the Chargers and Trevor Lawrens, Trevor Lawtce is
still the quarterback of the Jags. That's gonna be a tough, tough conference.
And I'm telling you maybe that's maybe that's what the Bills need. But
man, I'll be rooting for him and I want him to win the Super
Bowl, but it's gonna be harder next year than it is this year.
And if they do it, ill, if they do it, great,
Okay, yeah, dude, I'll be out a bend I'm gonnaen up put
like those guys in Kansas City may not have to live to see the next
day to enjoy it. I'm joking. I'm not gonna do that. Drugs
