Speaker 1: When your old career gives you lemons throwing some ice,
mixing some vodka. It's call it a podcast from the
Mac of All Trade Studio in Fairport and driven by
Victor Chrysler Dots Gee Ram, It's Billified, the Bill Moran Podcast.
Speaker 2: Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on.
Thank you for telling a friend. That's how we spread
the word about the pirate ship. My friends, that opening
statement is a little more true for some people today.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: I see you, I see you, I got your messages.
I know what's happening. I wanted to. This is a
little different episode because I had something I wanted to
to talk about, and a friend of mine will be
joining me a little bit later. But there's all kinds
of shit that just just I blew up. And of
course I can't say a whole lot of what I
knew and when I knew it. But just to my
my friend p y T, I've been deleting messages. I
just want you to know. Always tell me I have
too many messages on my phone. I haven't answered all
of them, but I see you out there. Look, there
has been a change in the local radio landscape. Brother
Weez was supposed to wait, I guess till noon today
or something. I can't sit on the information like this
that it's going to be his last show in ninety
five one, and the frequency that he's on, what people
have been I know you're I know you want to
hear what I have to say about it. I know
you do, and I and I know in particular what
you want me to say. And I'm gonna surprise you
because I'm not going to say what you want me
to say. I will say this. Brother We's was an
iconic talent, and when I happened to be part of
his show, which was in the early two thousands, it
was some of the most fun times in radio I
ever had. I laughed harder. I worked really hard, but
I laughed harder, and we did some real cool stuff.
And I will always value that time. And I think
he is a very warm and genuine person, and I
think he has been a part of people's lives for
a long time. And so to know that it was
his last show today, I think for a lot of people,
and myself included, you know rough, Okay, so what does
that mean? And there are other changes to the station.
You got to remember that everything is a business, right,
So if the business was working, the change wouldn't happened.
A business's only job is to make money. If you're
not making money, then you got to make a change.
And so things stick around because they're viable, right, they
make money. So if people are no longer in certain positions,
and look, we us a side. I mean it's been
forty something years. I don't think he needs to work.
I think it was a love of doing this. But
I that I know nothing about, so I please don't
twist this in any way, but I would say that
you know, if you're if you're hearing other people and
changes and stuff, if it were working, they'd be there.
It wasn't they're not making money. It didn't work. It
didn't work, okay, So that that's why there's a change.
It's at its core, it's business. Business has no feelings.
I say that all the time. You and I think
feelings are very important because, right you hear a song,
it brings you back to a certain time in your life.
A memory is something like that, right, So there's a
feeling associated with that. And I think that that's why
a lot of times we get attached and we think
this is. Yeah, it feels shitty, but it's a change
made by the people who make money on the other
side of that. I don't like this for radio. I
don't I think radio. I'm in the podcast world now
and I'm about to tell you something else, something else
that has that I think will surprise a lot of people,
but shouldn't. The text won't stop coming. I'm telling you
just now. I believe that radio is still a very
viable medium if you did it at the local level.
And I think that the only way to make it
a viable medium at a local level is with spoken word,
because it's a place for people to come together, share
ideas is and have a discussion from the privacy sort
of their of their car. They're alone, right, You know,
there's different things in radio where you would see, you know,
if you work in an office, right and they have
the radio on, it might be playing a soft rock
station because it's a little more palpable for everybody around.
But when you get in your car, you get to
choose your right, and that's discretionary listening. And you would see,
like in the summertime, discretionary listening is op right because
people have more free time, and they're outside and they're
on their own, and that's when discretionary listening is up,
and so that's actually a good time to see, you know.
Do people choose to listen to you? You know, And
that's why you'll hear some stations say they're the artwork
station whatever. But I don't like this. I think local talent,
local voices, people who drive the streets you drive, are
very important to have on the radio. And I believe
there's that will continue to some extent. And I will
say that I was part of the problem. When I
was in radio. I was on eighty fucking rock stations
around the country talking to des Moines, Iowa. I've never
been well. I was once, but you know what I mean?
Or or has anybody been to Brian, Texas? I haven't
parts of Florida. I know, Alaska, I haven't been there.
I was on the radio there right in. What they
would do is they would send you liners so you
could talk about you would have like a local break
for them, and they would run it in between songs
and it was called liner or whatever, and it would
just shoot it into the system. It's great. It's a
way for a corporation to save money. It is, and
it's kind of cool to be asked to be part
of that, right there's only a handful of people that
they asked to do it, but it's still part of
the problem. And that's where I don't like days like today.
I don't like when I see this change in radio
because you know, to go back to music or whatever.
A lot of people are just getting that now from
different and so the real thing, the one difference you
can have is your voice or the voice of the
of the community, the voice of the people. And that
sort of brings me to something else, you know. I
learned early on when I was in radio one, I
got bored very quickly playing music. I did, uh. So
that's why when I was like doing overnights, I just
open up the phones and let people talk to me.
And I learned early that the one thing people are
striving for and looking for in this world is a
connection people. Every one of us, not people, every one
of us, me, you, your best friend, your mom, your dad,
your kid. Everybody wants to know they matter, they matter.
They also want to know that they're heard and they
have an opinion and they want to be heard. And
sometimes I think this device because we can be on
it on social media, we can find our tribe, and
our opinions now become our belief and we don't accept
other things. Where I think with radio was it drew
from a bigger pot and you could have different discussions
with people you know and don't forget too like tone
gets lost. You read a text in the tone of
the mood you're in. So someone could write you a
message and they could be very happy or meaning, having
no malice behind it. But the way you read the
message is you understand you're applying your emotions to it.
So I always thought that that was the greatest thing
about radio, is that you could have people come together
and have a discussion and be heard. And I love
I'm so curious about people when I say things like
I was never really into strip clubs, and people go, yeah, right,
I did gigs at strip clubs, Yes I did, Yes,
I did, But I didn't care to see the girls.
I was more fatascinated sitting at the bar talking to
the strippers or the other patrons. What is it about
this place that brings you here? What do you think
you're going to get by seeing someone who you'll never
probably have next to you in bed, get naked. It
just didn't make any sense to me. However, I was
curious as to why it made sense to you. And
that has been the biggest thing for me is the
absolute curiosity of human beings. Curiosity of everybody's existence is different.
And I will say this, I think a lot of
times we cover up pain in things. I listened to
a podcast today and I wish I had actually taken
some notes and I'll bring it up when my friend
comes in this podcast. But it was the guy basically
said he worked with troubled youth and a lot of
kids who were in gangs, and he was like, what's
the one thing I could say to them? And he said,
you have an inner genius. Yes, every one of us
has an ener genius and a calling and a creativity.
It's there. Maybe you're not listening to it, maybe you're
not tuned into it. Maybe it's buried under all kinds
of pain and things like that. So because of radio
and discovering that this curiosity of people and loving to
be able to talk to people and share ideas and
form opinions and hear what other people have to say,
and I learned a lot from listeners on the radio.
I really truly did, and I've learned a lot from
people interacting with this podcast that we've been doing for
the past two years. I had an opportunity that came
out of the oblivion. I don't know that anything ever
comes out of the blue, but sort of out of
the oblivion to go back and get my masters in
mental health counseling. There's a program that has started right
now that New York State pays for the entire thing
if you graduate by the spring of twenty twenty seven,
and it's at Saint John Fisher University, which is my
alma mater, and I have decided to do that. So
I'm going back for a master's in mental health counseling.
And I think for some people you go, well that
that's like a forty five degree ninety degree angle on
what you're doing in life. It's really not or a
one to eighty. It's not the curiosity of people bringing
people together, talking, helping people be heard and understood and
and bring that Those were always the things that that
meant a lot to me. So when I hear about
local radio sort of losing a little bit of that,
I don't like it. I don't. I don't like it
in any way. There's no You're not going to see
me cheering or a plotting today in any way. I
think that part sucks. But because of my curiosity and
this opportunity, I am going back. I started just the
other day and I'll go to classes again tonight. It
is not going to be easy. It's a challenge. I
like to think that we should all continue to learn
and challenge ourselves and if there's something out there for you,
fucking grab it with both hands and go. Who knows
where this will take me? Who knows what could happen
from it? I don't know. We're not gonna stop doing
the podcast. That'll continue, so you know that that will
There'll be there'll be episodes every day. Bill Lightenman will
start picking up and it's gonna be It's gonna be
a lot for me. But okay, I kind of like that.
That's when I'm at my vest, you know what I mean.
I think this is this could be pretty awesome. But
going back to school, I'll tell you what, it's a
little bit overwhelming, right, It's a little bit overwhelming. I'm
fifty four years old, as my friend Pyit reminded me
you're fifty four. Yes I am, but not in a
negative way. I think it was just one of these hey,
just you know, make sure you're making a right decision.
And I it just it just happened so quickly, and
and you know, I've talked a lot and it's still
kind of fresh. Right. My dad died a little over
a month ago. My dad is a Saint John Fisher
and Lump. And I'll wrap up this part of the
podcast with this story. So my dad, I'm gonna just
tell it because I don't know if he were alive,
if I would, because he would listen, and I don't,
And I never wanted to offend him. I found this
story to be heartwarming and delightful. I'm not so sure
that he would. I really don't. So here is the thing.
My dad was apparently in the seminary to studying to
be a priest, and I think unceremoniously got kicked out.
Allegedly he had put a lit cigarette in a statue
of the Virgin Mary's hands. His story, not mine, brought
somebody named Peaches to Parents' knight whatever. They kind of go, okay,
this isn't for you, But he said he learned to
right really well there and the man was also a
bit of a genius, and from there he was encouraged
to apply to college. Now when he's doing this, it's
like mid August, late August of I don't even know,
nineteen sixty something, and all the colleges he applied to
were accepting him, but they were accepting him to start
in the second semester, not the first semester. And one
of the priests my dad was working at a bank, goes,
if you don't leave Brooklyn now, you're never going to
leave because you'll meet a girl, You'll wind up staying,
You'll fall in love, There'll be something here that's going
to hold you. If you go right now, your life's
going to be very different. The only place that accepted
my dad for the fall admission was Saint John Fisher
in Rochester, New York, place my dad had never been.
He got on a plane, packed a suitcase, flew up
here and started attending Fisher and never looked back. His parents,
my grandparents, drove his things up to him a couple
weeks later. Imagine that now he was a little bit older.
I think he was twenty twenty one when he did this,
but still you're young, right, sight unseen, Like just got
on the plane and went all right, let's go. So
I'm talking to my brother, and my brother I said
to him, I'm gonna go do this thing. And he
said to me, yeah, I think it's great. I think
it's awesome that you're gonna get a master's or work
toward a master's. And who knows, right, maybe I won't
do it, maybe I won't be able to hack it.
And he said, it's kind of funny. It happened sort
of the same way as it did with Dad at Fisher.
Now I did go to Fisher for undergrad, but just
like that last minute, a spot opens up. It's completely
taken care of by the state. If you do all
the required stuff, you can get in there and boom.
Kind of the same way. So in a way, maybe
it's the hand of my dad pushing it. I don't know,
but it's not that far off the beaten path of
what I've done here with the podcast and talking to people,
and certainly will help things like The Lightenment, which is
another podcast. And then you have just the idea of
radio and bringing people together. It's amazing to me how
sort of synchronistic, synchronistic let me try that again. How
syncratic all of this is. I don't even know if
that's the word, but how all this has come together.
So in the next segment, my friend rob Rice, who
is the head of the mental health department at Saint
John Fisher University, will be joining us to talk a
little bit more about that some of the opportunities, and
we may talk about some things like the calling right,
the calling that people have your energenius, your soul right.
It's there and it's there for everybody. So thank you

Speaker 2: Gossip is the name of the artist, right, Is that
my saying that? Right? You got it? Yeah? Uh? Doctor
Rob Rice from Saint John Fisher University, I'm just getting
the inframe a little bit better. There we go. So
I I did the first part of the podcast solo.
I have somebody who keeps telling me I need to
do some solo podcasts once in a while, and I'm
I'm reticent to do that. I don't know, because I go,
who just wants to hear your babble?
Speaker 5: But I think it's a good idea. Yeah, I h
I think you can do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So uh And I don't see. That's the thing
is I got. I very rarely listen to podcasts, and
I did listen to one today where there was somebody
like way off Mike asking guy a question and the
name of the pot I forget the name of the
guy who was doing it, but it was really about
soul and inner calling and that sort of thing. And
so this person and I wish I had taken some notes,
and I meant to do that, and I got caught
up with things today. But he was talking about when
he went and so what this guy was saying was
that when he started to he realized he was a storyteller,
and as a storyteller, he had something happen to him
as a child where he was in New York city
and there was gangs in the school and some one
of his friends took something from these gangs, and these
guys cornered him in the bathroom, had them on the
floor and had had knives out, and he goes, I
really think, like my ego kind of left my body
and when I don't want to watch this bloody mess.
And he said, I told him I talked to them,
and he said it was like they it just made
everything go away, and he goes, that's when I realized
I was more of a storyteller. And then he went
on to work with gangs later on, and he said,
what's the one thing that I could say to make
an impact to any young person who it would be
at risk right and at risk youth. And what he
said was, you have a genius inside of you. You
have the genius, a genius, soul a calling and they're
calling and he goes and everybody would go, yeah, I
do I have these ideas. I have this thing. And
I often have thought that so many times people are
not feel like they're not heard or they have a
great idea, but they've been somehow through trauma. And that's
what this guy was saying, Like I get. He goes,
I tell the you know, the young people. I tell
the young people in gangs, the at risk youth this
and they all go, yeah, yeah, yeah. He goes. I
go out and I speak somewhere and he goes, and
I get a pissed off sixty five year old the
audience going, I don't about my calling? What's my inner calling?
I haven't And he said, you know, there's something in
you that is just driving that will always come out,
but it might be buried beneath trauma. It might be
buried beneath rubble. This had me thinking a whole bunch
of things. But I've already said that I am going
back to Saint John Fisher University to get my master's
degree in mental health counseling. And I will tell you that.
Like it's a little intimidating because I don't think I
know the what is it?
Speaker 5: The A D, what's the role APA?
Speaker 2: The APA? Way to write? Like, I don't know how
to do that.
Speaker 5: So I mentioned that that was the one thing that
he thought you might be working.
Speaker 2: See that, because I think my face when I.
Speaker 6: Asked him how the night when he said, great, Bill
was really enthusiastic.
Speaker 5: He said, I think he's nervous about APA.
Speaker 2: Well, APA only because it's academic writing, and so that
would be a little more than right the casual things
or the more I think, I I currently right as
I speak, and you know that way it's a little
more relatable. But I think there's ways you have to
learn it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's called Purdue Owl. You go to the Purdue
Owl and they give you the guidelines. It's really straightforward.
And then you know, between you and I, AI helps.
Speaker 5: A lot too.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well I figured that I wasn't going to.
Speaker 5: Say anything you and I.
Speaker 2: To this, but it was it was all this. So
I also said, and and this was a weird thing
that this came about very very quickly. Uh. And I
say that things don't come out of the blue. I
think they come out of the oblivion, like you're sort
of oblivious to this, and what do you do? And
the more I thought about it, and especially after hearing
this podcast that I took a three mile walk this
morning and listened to it, and I I started to think, Wow,
you know, over the years on radio I talked about
being molested, right, and I don't know that I've ever
really dealt with it. But I just thought talking about
it would be good, and it came up. And this
is a weird day, right because locally radio Hall of
Famer Brother Weez announced that he is this is going
to be his last show on Radio ninety five to one,
where he's working now, but he was out at the
time living with cancer. So I'm producing his show. So
I'm in there and at the time, I remember there
was a comic in there and Tommy's given John Detulio
a bunch of shit because he won't go out. And
John's like, unless it's family, we don't allow anybody but
family to sit with the kids, okay, And so I
said something to the effect of you know, because John's like, yeah,
it was only family, and I went, well, even people
who are really close to you, bad things can happen.
And I said, we had somebody who was really close
to our family and I go in the babysitter molested
me and I just blurted it out. That was the
first time on the radio, and I think that, like
the room, it was like a needle going across a record.
And then I continue to talk about it over the years,
and even when and did something where I was on
a panel at Pavona talking about the different things that
Pavona does. And I look over and there's somebody who
I went to college with on the panel, and I
had no idea, and I don't think she didn't have
any idea. And these were things that you just didn't
really talk about. And the more I talked about it,
so I kind of thought, while I'm dealing with it.
But here's my point with this. I can't tell you
the number of letters and emails that I would receive
from men who would say to me, thank you so
much for saying that happened to you and showing that
you can kind of continue on. And one guy wrote
me how he was going to kill himself and he
was so upset and it was really this, that and
the other thing, and you know, no one believed them,
and it was just amazing, and I thought, wow, so
all this stuff seems to just line up, like the
mental health counseling, And I'm like, yeah, and I go,
even if you at some point were uh, just able
to help somebody in that situation, really deal with that,
because it does it does screw you up.
Speaker 6: And I've wondered if that might be one of the
directions that you go. I've been since you know, this
has all come about so quickly. We've Yeah, was three
days ago that the decided. Yeah, and uh for us too.
It was a unique situation. Like you said, there's a
lot of synchronicity. We had uh, full class, we had,
the program was full. We had one student withdraw. We
had a weight list, but the wait list evaporated because
started ye and so we kind of miraculously had this
space available.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 6: You know there's the program through FLIPS, the CPT program
that you know, helping with with students just coming in
this year. Uh, and so we were able to get
you interviewed quick, get your application taken care of quick.
And I've been thinking NonStop about kind of what you're
gonna do with this. I can't wait to see. I'm
I'm you know, I have Fraser running through my mind.
I have I can imagine something with comedy and mental health.
There's so much research right now that looks.
Speaker 2: At Yeah, you sent me the article. Guess what I
haven't done. I haven't read it yet.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't expect you to.
Speaker 2: I did it. No, I do want to read it.
It's one of these things where like, you know, yesterday
was the first day of school for Jamison, and then
he was driving me nuts when he came home because
he wants this certain book bag and it's some kind
of special splash painting. Yeah, listen in my mind. And
then he's screaming in the store. He loves to do
this once in a while. And this is where I go,
there's like, no respect. But I've lost control, rob, I
have lost total control. He's screaming. This guy's here made
fourteen year old girl, and he thinks it's so funny.
And I'm like, I, you know.
Speaker 5: This might not help.
Speaker 6: I haven't met many psychologists kids who aren't a little
bit messed up.
Speaker 2: But he's so funny and stuff, and I there's a
part of me that goes, that's hilarious. I mean it's
so hilarious because it's it's so uncomfortable, right, you would
just never do it. You would say, that's one of
those things, you say, how funny would this be to do?
Could you imagine how they would react? And then nobody
does it. This idiot does it, and he's like.
Speaker 6: Me in that sense, Andy does it with you, which
is like it's kind of beautiful that he feels that
you have that relationship with him where he can do
that kind of thing.
Speaker 5: I think that there's something to that.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well I'm glad you said that because
I was like so annoyed yesterday. I was, and then
at one point he said to me, listen, I'm really sorry.
I feel like I'm getting under your skin a little bit.
And I said, well, I have a lot of things
on my mind and I'm trying to make everything, you know,
balance out here and that whatever, it is.
Speaker 5: A perfect process.
Speaker 6: You came over to my house for the fire Saturday night,
and my kids were I had a kid with friends
over jumping in the trampoline on top of pool floats.
Speaker 5: Yeah it was, but I loved it.
Speaker 2: I thought that was so cool.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, it's nobody got hurt, right, cool?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 2: It was like, That's what I didn't say to you.
I go, I would probably twist anicle doing that, but
that no big deal. But that I could totally see
as a kid. Now, see, I would have taken at
one step further if I could have as a kid, uh,
because we did have a trampoline, but we didn't have
the sides on it. When I was grown up.
Speaker 5: They don't think they even made it.
Speaker 2: It was just yeah, I don't know. So this was more.
I think I was already at at Fisher and my
parents got a trampoline from my brother and sister. And
when I would come home, I would jump off the
railing of the deck and it was a good not
ten feet but probably like somewhere between six and eight
feet away, and I would do a belly flop on
it and then flip over in the air. And if
I knew I could have put a pool raft on there,
I would have tried to pop it. And seets like
those are the things where I go. I was because
I do go to therapy and I've talked about that
and you know who I see, and I said to
her today, I go there are things like that where
people will go I would never do that. That would scare
the shit out of me, like you know, driving a
car real fast or doing exactly that, jumping off the
thing onto that doesn't scare me. But there's some interpersonal

a big thing, and I always joked for many many
years that I'm the least educated in my family. My
brother is a masters, my sister is a doctor in linguistics,
my mother as a master's and my father had everything
but the dissertation, basically with philosophy. And yeah, so when
this came about, I called her and she's like, you
got to do it, you have to. I think this
is wonderful. And then I like, you know, I get
a couple of calls throughout the day, and then one
of them and she gets mad when I mock her
because she doesn't really sound like this. But this is
how I've always heard my mother in my head. She's going,
oh my god, this. I have been praying and praying
that something would just work out for you because I
know things have been just it's hard. I know it's hard.
I know you and Jameson, and I worry. I worry
so much, that's the thing. But she was so excited.
I don't even know. It's not really and when he's
heard my mom, that's not really how she sounds. And uh,
but yet in my head, God, I could I even
do it to her face sometimes and she'll go, that's
not me, and I go, oh, it is, at least
in my head.
Speaker 5: In that same way, that's not me.
Speaker 2: But she was super, super excited and was the first
person I called. And she said to me, what I
have said, and it's what I feel like. I've just
lost myself in the moment. I don't know. And here's
what I mean by that. She said to me, don't
talk to a lot of people about.
Speaker 5: This, Go forth and tell no one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I went, yeah, she goes, you don't want
a lot of opinions. And I did talk to a
few people and one person, only one person, but very kindly,
just said, you know, fifty four, can you be a
student again? And I and if you think you can,
then go for it. That's great. There was nobody who said,
don't do that, what's wrong with you? Even my college
roommate wrote me today about something completely different, asking me, hey,
