00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: When your old career gives you lemons throwing some ice,

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,480
mixing some vodka. It's call it a podcast from the

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,240
Mac of All Trade Studio in Fairport and driven by

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:20,679
Victor Chrysler Dots Gee Ram, It's Billified, the Bill Moran Podcast.

5
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:35,799
Speaker 2: Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on.

6
00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:38,840
Thank you for telling a friend. That's how we spread

7
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:44,280
the word about the pirate ship. My friends, that opening

8
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,520
statement is a little more true for some people today.

9
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:46,799
Speaker 1: Right.

10
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,759
Speaker 2: I see you, I see you, I got your messages.

11
00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:58,640
I know what's happening. I wanted to. This is a

12
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,719
little different episode because I had something I wanted to

13
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:05,799
to talk about, and a friend of mine will be

14
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:11,120
joining me a little bit later. But there's all kinds

15
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,280
of shit that just just I blew up. And of

16
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,840
course I can't say a whole lot of what I

17
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,840
knew and when I knew it. But just to my

18
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,519
my friend p y T, I've been deleting messages. I

19
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,040
just want you to know. Always tell me I have

20
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:35,920
too many messages on my phone. I haven't answered all

21
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,959
of them, but I see you out there. Look, there

22
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,959
has been a change in the local radio landscape. Brother

23
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,879
Weez was supposed to wait, I guess till noon today

24
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,079
or something. I can't sit on the information like this

25
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,480
that it's going to be his last show in ninety

26
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:56,959
five one, and the frequency that he's on, what people

27
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,920
have been I know you're I know you want to

28
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:00,359
hear what I have to say about it. I know

29
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,560
you do, and I and I know in particular what

30
00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:06,439
you want me to say. And I'm gonna surprise you

31
00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:08,719
because I'm not going to say what you want me

32
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:13,680
to say. I will say this. Brother We's was an

33
00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:17,719
iconic talent, and when I happened to be part of

34
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:21,680
his show, which was in the early two thousands, it

35
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,360
was some of the most fun times in radio I

36
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,360
ever had. I laughed harder. I worked really hard, but

37
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:32,159
I laughed harder, and we did some real cool stuff.

38
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,000
And I will always value that time. And I think

39
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:39,759
he is a very warm and genuine person, and I

40
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,599
think he has been a part of people's lives for

41
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,080
a long time. And so to know that it was

42
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,319
his last show today, I think for a lot of people,

43
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,240
and myself included, you know rough, Okay, so what does

44
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,599
that mean? And there are other changes to the station.

45
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:59,879
You got to remember that everything is a business, right,

46
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,520
So if the business was working, the change wouldn't happened.

47
00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:07,080
A business's only job is to make money. If you're

48
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,240
not making money, then you got to make a change.

49
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,759
And so things stick around because they're viable, right, they

50
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:20,479
make money. So if people are no longer in certain positions,

51
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:23,759
and look, we us a side. I mean it's been

52
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:26,759
forty something years. I don't think he needs to work.

53
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:28,840
I think it was a love of doing this. But

54
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,240
I that I know nothing about, so I please don't

55
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:38,000
twist this in any way, but I would say that

56
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,520
you know, if you're if you're hearing other people and

57
00:03:41,919 --> 00:03:44,719
changes and stuff, if it were working, they'd be there.

58
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,840
It wasn't they're not making money. It didn't work. It

59
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:54,599
didn't work, okay, So that that's why there's a change.

60
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,840
It's at its core, it's business. Business has no feelings.

61
00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:01,199
I say that all the time. You and I think

62
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:04,639
feelings are very important because, right you hear a song,

63
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,639
it brings you back to a certain time in your life.

64
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:09,719
A memory is something like that, right, So there's a

65
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,840
feeling associated with that. And I think that that's why

66
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,360
a lot of times we get attached and we think

67
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,560
this is. Yeah, it feels shitty, but it's a change

68
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:26,199
made by the people who make money on the other

69
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,000
side of that. I don't like this for radio. I

70
00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:34,759
don't I think radio. I'm in the podcast world now

71
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:37,600
and I'm about to tell you something else, something else

72
00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:40,240
that has that I think will surprise a lot of people,

73
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,040
but shouldn't. The text won't stop coming. I'm telling you

74
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,439
just now. I believe that radio is still a very

75
00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:49,639
viable medium if you did it at the local level.

76
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,160
And I think that the only way to make it

77
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:53,720
a viable medium at a local level is with spoken word,

78
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:59,639
because it's a place for people to come together, share

79
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,120
ideas is and have a discussion from the privacy sort

80
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,199
of their of their car. They're alone, right, You know,

81
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,399
there's different things in radio where you would see, you know,

82
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:12,759
if you work in an office, right and they have

83
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:15,800
the radio on, it might be playing a soft rock

84
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,079
station because it's a little more palpable for everybody around.

85
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,319
But when you get in your car, you get to

86
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:25,040
choose your right, and that's discretionary listening. And you would see,

87
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,800
like in the summertime, discretionary listening is op right because

88
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:33,360
people have more free time, and they're outside and they're

89
00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:35,920
on their own, and that's when discretionary listening is up,

90
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,079
and so that's actually a good time to see, you know.

91
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,000
Do people choose to listen to you? You know, And

92
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,839
that's why you'll hear some stations say they're the artwork

93
00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:48,680
station whatever. But I don't like this. I think local talent,

94
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:53,639
local voices, people who drive the streets you drive, are

95
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:57,639
very important to have on the radio. And I believe

96
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:01,639
there's that will continue to some extent. And I will

97
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:03,240
say that I was part of the problem. When I

98
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:06,079
was in radio. I was on eighty fucking rock stations

99
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,120
around the country talking to des Moines, Iowa. I've never

100
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,360
been well. I was once, but you know what I mean?

101
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,199
Or or has anybody been to Brian, Texas? I haven't

102
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,720
parts of Florida. I know, Alaska, I haven't been there.

103
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:22,800
I was on the radio there right in. What they

104
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,759
would do is they would send you liners so you

105
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:27,759
could talk about you would have like a local break

106
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:29,680
for them, and they would run it in between songs

107
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,800
and it was called liner or whatever, and it would

108
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,160
just shoot it into the system. It's great. It's a

109
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:38,959
way for a corporation to save money. It is, and

110
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,680
it's kind of cool to be asked to be part

111
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:43,959
of that, right there's only a handful of people that

112
00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:46,439
they asked to do it, but it's still part of

113
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,800
the problem. And that's where I don't like days like today.

114
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,240
I don't like when I see this change in radio

115
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:57,000
because you know, to go back to music or whatever.

116
00:06:57,879 --> 00:06:59,560
A lot of people are just getting that now from

117
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,959
different and so the real thing, the one difference you

118
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,639
can have is your voice or the voice of the

119
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,800
of the community, the voice of the people. And that

120
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,040
sort of brings me to something else, you know. I

121
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,120
learned early on when I was in radio one, I

122
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,519
got bored very quickly playing music. I did, uh. So

123
00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:22,720
that's why when I was like doing overnights, I just

124
00:07:23,079 --> 00:07:24,759
open up the phones and let people talk to me.

125
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,120
And I learned early that the one thing people are

126
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,519
striving for and looking for in this world is a

127
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,319
connection people. Every one of us, not people, every one

128
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,240
of us, me, you, your best friend, your mom, your dad,

129
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:47,079
your kid. Everybody wants to know they matter, they matter.

130
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:50,000
They also want to know that they're heard and they

131
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,720
have an opinion and they want to be heard. And

132
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:58,720
sometimes I think this device because we can be on

133
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,480
it on social media, we can find our tribe, and

134
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,279
our opinions now become our belief and we don't accept

135
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:10,279
other things. Where I think with radio was it drew

136
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,519
from a bigger pot and you could have different discussions

137
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:17,399
with people you know and don't forget too like tone

138
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,720
gets lost. You read a text in the tone of

139
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,480
the mood you're in. So someone could write you a

140
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:29,160
message and they could be very happy or meaning, having

141
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,039
no malice behind it. But the way you read the

142
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,440
message is you understand you're applying your emotions to it.

143
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,120
So I always thought that that was the greatest thing

144
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,799
about radio, is that you could have people come together

145
00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:43,879
and have a discussion and be heard. And I love

146
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,399
I'm so curious about people when I say things like

147
00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:51,840
I was never really into strip clubs, and people go, yeah, right,

148
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,200
I did gigs at strip clubs, Yes I did, Yes,

149
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,120
I did, But I didn't care to see the girls.

150
00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:02,039
I was more fatascinated sitting at the bar talking to

151
00:09:02,879 --> 00:09:06,559
the strippers or the other patrons. What is it about

152
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,840
this place that brings you here? What do you think

153
00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:12,279
you're going to get by seeing someone who you'll never

154
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,159
probably have next to you in bed, get naked. It

155
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,000
just didn't make any sense to me. However, I was

156
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,200
curious as to why it made sense to you. And

157
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:23,519
that has been the biggest thing for me is the

158
00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:31,480
absolute curiosity of human beings. Curiosity of everybody's existence is different.

159
00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:33,840
And I will say this, I think a lot of

160
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,399
times we cover up pain in things. I listened to

161
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,840
a podcast today and I wish I had actually taken

162
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,559
some notes and I'll bring it up when my friend

163
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:47,639
comes in this podcast. But it was the guy basically

164
00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:51,720
said he worked with troubled youth and a lot of

165
00:09:51,759 --> 00:09:53,960
kids who were in gangs, and he was like, what's

166
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,360
the one thing I could say to them? And he said,

167
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,840
you have an inner genius. Yes, every one of us

168
00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:03,279
has an ener genius and a calling and a creativity.

169
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,000
It's there. Maybe you're not listening to it, maybe you're

170
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,480
not tuned into it. Maybe it's buried under all kinds

171
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,320
of pain and things like that. So because of radio

172
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,600
and discovering that this curiosity of people and loving to

173
00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:19,799
be able to talk to people and share ideas and

174
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:22,919
form opinions and hear what other people have to say,

175
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,519
and I learned a lot from listeners on the radio.

176
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:28,320
I really truly did, and I've learned a lot from

177
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,960
people interacting with this podcast that we've been doing for

178
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,759
the past two years. I had an opportunity that came

179
00:10:35,759 --> 00:10:37,799
out of the oblivion. I don't know that anything ever

180
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,440
comes out of the blue, but sort of out of

181
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,000
the oblivion to go back and get my masters in

182
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,159
mental health counseling. There's a program that has started right

183
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,480
now that New York State pays for the entire thing

184
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:56,720
if you graduate by the spring of twenty twenty seven,

185
00:10:56,919 --> 00:10:59,639
and it's at Saint John Fisher University, which is my

186
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,600
alma mater, and I have decided to do that. So

187
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,399
I'm going back for a master's in mental health counseling.

188
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,519
And I think for some people you go, well that

189
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,440
that's like a forty five degree ninety degree angle on

190
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,960
what you're doing in life. It's really not or a

191
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,519
one to eighty. It's not the curiosity of people bringing

192
00:11:21,759 --> 00:11:28,159
people together, talking, helping people be heard and understood and

193
00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:30,919
and bring that Those were always the things that that

194
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,679
meant a lot to me. So when I hear about

195
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:37,279
local radio sort of losing a little bit of that,

196
00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:39,919
I don't like it. I don't. I don't like it

197
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:42,320
in any way. There's no You're not going to see

198
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,679
me cheering or a plotting today in any way. I

199
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,240
think that part sucks. But because of my curiosity and

200
00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:54,720
this opportunity, I am going back. I started just the

201
00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:58,320
other day and I'll go to classes again tonight. It

202
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,399
is not going to be easy. It's a challenge. I

203
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,840
like to think that we should all continue to learn

204
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:06,360
and challenge ourselves and if there's something out there for you,

205
00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:10,519
fucking grab it with both hands and go. Who knows

206
00:12:10,519 --> 00:12:12,840
where this will take me? Who knows what could happen

207
00:12:12,879 --> 00:12:16,080
from it? I don't know. We're not gonna stop doing

208
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,360
the podcast. That'll continue, so you know that that will

209
00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:22,960
There'll be there'll be episodes every day. Bill Lightenman will

210
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,679
start picking up and it's gonna be It's gonna be

211
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,159
a lot for me. But okay, I kind of like that.

212
00:12:29,159 --> 00:12:30,919
That's when I'm at my vest, you know what I mean.

213
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,080
I think this is this could be pretty awesome. But

214
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:36,080
going back to school, I'll tell you what, it's a

215
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,080
little bit overwhelming, right, It's a little bit overwhelming. I'm

216
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:43,080
fifty four years old, as my friend Pyit reminded me

217
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,600
you're fifty four. Yes I am, but not in a

218
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:48,519
negative way. I think it was just one of these hey,

219
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,399
just you know, make sure you're making a right decision.

220
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,399
And I it just it just happened so quickly, and

221
00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:57,080
and you know, I've talked a lot and it's still

222
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,559
kind of fresh. Right. My dad died a little over

223
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,559
a month ago. My dad is a Saint John Fisher

224
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,600
and Lump. And I'll wrap up this part of the

225
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,240
podcast with this story. So my dad, I'm gonna just

226
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,159
tell it because I don't know if he were alive,

227
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,639
if I would, because he would listen, and I don't,

228
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,799
And I never wanted to offend him. I found this

229
00:13:19,879 --> 00:13:25,919
story to be heartwarming and delightful. I'm not so sure

230
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:33,600
that he would. I really don't. So here is the thing.

231
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,240
My dad was apparently in the seminary to studying to

232
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:43,639
be a priest, and I think unceremoniously got kicked out.

233
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:50,960
Allegedly he had put a lit cigarette in a statue

234
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,879
of the Virgin Mary's hands. His story, not mine, brought

235
00:13:54,919 --> 00:13:57,919
somebody named Peaches to Parents' knight whatever. They kind of go, okay,

236
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,080
this isn't for you, But he said he learned to

237
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,399
right really well there and the man was also a

238
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:09,360
bit of a genius, and from there he was encouraged

239
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,879
to apply to college. Now when he's doing this, it's

240
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,480
like mid August, late August of I don't even know,

241
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,039
nineteen sixty something, and all the colleges he applied to

242
00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:24,120
were accepting him, but they were accepting him to start

243
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,039
in the second semester, not the first semester. And one

244
00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:31,120
of the priests my dad was working at a bank, goes,

245
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,200
if you don't leave Brooklyn now, you're never going to

246
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,159
leave because you'll meet a girl, You'll wind up staying,

247
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:39,960
You'll fall in love, There'll be something here that's going

248
00:14:40,039 --> 00:14:43,840
to hold you. If you go right now, your life's

249
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,320
going to be very different. The only place that accepted

250
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,480
my dad for the fall admission was Saint John Fisher

251
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,200
in Rochester, New York, place my dad had never been.

252
00:14:55,559 --> 00:14:59,679
He got on a plane, packed a suitcase, flew up

253
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:05,480
here and started attending Fisher and never looked back. His parents,

254
00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:09,879
my grandparents, drove his things up to him a couple

255
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,919
weeks later. Imagine that now he was a little bit older.

256
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,039
I think he was twenty twenty one when he did this,

257
00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:22,519
but still you're young, right, sight unseen, Like just got

258
00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:25,279
on the plane and went all right, let's go. So

259
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,080
I'm talking to my brother, and my brother I said

260
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,320
to him, I'm gonna go do this thing. And he

261
00:15:30,399 --> 00:15:33,559
said to me, yeah, I think it's great. I think

262
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:36,600
it's awesome that you're gonna get a master's or work

263
00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:39,240
toward a master's. And who knows, right, maybe I won't

264
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,559
do it, maybe I won't be able to hack it.

265
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,240
And he said, it's kind of funny. It happened sort

266
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:51,080
of the same way as it did with Dad at Fisher.

267
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,080
Now I did go to Fisher for undergrad, but just

268
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:59,720
like that last minute, a spot opens up. It's completely

269
00:15:59,799 --> 00:16:01,840
taken care of by the state. If you do all

270
00:16:01,879 --> 00:16:07,519
the required stuff, you can get in there and boom.

271
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,960
Kind of the same way. So in a way, maybe

272
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,320
it's the hand of my dad pushing it. I don't know,

273
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,200
but it's not that far off the beaten path of

274
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,639
what I've done here with the podcast and talking to people,

275
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,720
and certainly will help things like The Lightenment, which is

276
00:16:24,759 --> 00:16:28,559
another podcast. And then you have just the idea of

277
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,519
radio and bringing people together. It's amazing to me how

278
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:40,240
sort of synchronistic, synchronistic let me try that again. How

279
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:42,759
syncratic all of this is. I don't even know if

280
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:45,720
that's the word, but how all this has come together.

281
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:50,039
So in the next segment, my friend rob Rice, who

282
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,879
is the head of the mental health department at Saint

283
00:16:52,919 --> 00:16:55,639
John Fisher University, will be joining us to talk a

284
00:16:55,679 --> 00:16:58,240
little bit more about that some of the opportunities, and

285
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,000
we may talk about some things like the calling right,

286
00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:06,480
the calling that people have your energenius, your soul right.

287
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,359
It's there and it's there for everybody. So thank you

288
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:15,000

332
00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:15,759
Speaker 2: Gossip is the name of the artist, right, Is that

333
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:18,759
my saying that? Right? You got it? Yeah? Uh? Doctor

334
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,079
Rob Rice from Saint John Fisher University, I'm just getting

335
00:20:23,079 --> 00:20:27,559
the inframe a little bit better. There we go. So

336
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,680
I I did the first part of the podcast solo.

337
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,960
I have somebody who keeps telling me I need to

338
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,519
do some solo podcasts once in a while, and I'm

339
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,039
I'm reticent to do that. I don't know, because I go,

340
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,000
who just wants to hear your babble?

341
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 5: But I think it's a good idea. Yeah, I h

342
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:47,519
I think you can do that.

343
00:20:47,759 --> 00:20:50,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. So uh And I don't see. That's the thing

344
00:20:50,839 --> 00:20:55,000
is I got. I very rarely listen to podcasts, and

345
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:58,279
I did listen to one today where there was somebody

346
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,279
like way off Mike asking guy a question and the

347
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,880
name of the pot I forget the name of the

348
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:10,160
guy who was doing it, but it was really about

349
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,799
soul and inner calling and that sort of thing. And

350
00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:17,759
so this person and I wish I had taken some notes,

351
00:21:17,759 --> 00:21:19,279
and I meant to do that, and I got caught

352
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:24,920
up with things today. But he was talking about when

353
00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:28,000
he went and so what this guy was saying was

354
00:21:28,039 --> 00:21:33,200
that when he started to he realized he was a storyteller,

355
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,240
and as a storyteller, he had something happen to him

356
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,599
as a child where he was in New York city

357
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,400
and there was gangs in the school and some one

358
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,200
of his friends took something from these gangs, and these

359
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,119
guys cornered him in the bathroom, had them on the

360
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,079
floor and had had knives out, and he goes, I

361
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,160
really think, like my ego kind of left my body

362
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,359
and when I don't want to watch this bloody mess.

363
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,079
And he said, I told him I talked to them,

364
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,839
and he said it was like they it just made

365
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,759
everything go away, and he goes, that's when I realized

366
00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:08,400
I was more of a storyteller. And then he went

367
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,279
on to work with gangs later on, and he said,

368
00:22:12,319 --> 00:22:14,640
what's the one thing that I could say to make

369
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,279
an impact to any young person who it would be

370
00:22:18,319 --> 00:22:20,720
at risk right and at risk youth. And what he

371
00:22:20,759 --> 00:22:24,400
said was, you have a genius inside of you. You

372
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,319
have the genius, a genius, soul a calling and they're

373
00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:31,519
calling and he goes and everybody would go, yeah, I

374
00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:33,640
do I have these ideas. I have this thing. And

375
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:39,000
I often have thought that so many times people are

376
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,119
not feel like they're not heard or they have a

377
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,200
great idea, but they've been somehow through trauma. And that's

378
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,880
what this guy was saying, Like I get. He goes,

379
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,039
I tell the you know, the young people. I tell

380
00:22:51,079 --> 00:22:54,079
the young people in gangs, the at risk youth this

381
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,200
and they all go, yeah, yeah, yeah. He goes. I

382
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,119
go out and I speak somewhere and he goes, and

383
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,160
I get a pissed off sixty five year old the

384
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,400
audience going, I don't about my calling? What's my inner calling?

385
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,000
I haven't And he said, you know, there's something in

386
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:11,160
you that is just driving that will always come out,

387
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,359
but it might be buried beneath trauma. It might be

388
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,079
buried beneath rubble. This had me thinking a whole bunch

389
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,599
of things. But I've already said that I am going

390
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,079
back to Saint John Fisher University to get my master's

391
00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:28,599
degree in mental health counseling. And I will tell you that.

392
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,119
Like it's a little intimidating because I don't think I

393
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,240
know the what is it?

394
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 5: The A D, what's the role APA?

395
00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 2: The APA? Way to write? Like, I don't know how

396
00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:38,319
to do that.

397
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 5: So I mentioned that that was the one thing that

398
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:40,920
he thought you might be working.

399
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 2: See that, because I think my face when I.

400
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 6: Asked him how the night when he said, great, Bill

401
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:47,799
was really enthusiastic.

402
00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:50,319
Speaker 5: He said, I think he's nervous about APA.

403
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: Well, APA only because it's academic writing, and so that

404
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,559
would be a little more than right the casual things

405
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,799
or the more I think, I I currently right as

406
00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:02,920
I speak, and you know that way it's a little

407
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,240
more relatable. But I think there's ways you have to

408
00:24:05,319 --> 00:24:05,720
learn it.

409
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's called Purdue Owl. You go to the Purdue

410
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,119
Owl and they give you the guidelines. It's really straightforward.

411
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,519
And then you know, between you and I, AI helps.

412
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:13,799
Speaker 5: A lot too.

413
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well I figured that I wasn't going to.

414
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,559
Speaker 5: Say anything you and I.

415
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: To this, but it was it was all this. So

416
00:24:23,759 --> 00:24:26,880
I also said, and and this was a weird thing

417
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,640
that this came about very very quickly. Uh. And I

418
00:24:31,799 --> 00:24:34,440
say that things don't come out of the blue. I

419
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,279
think they come out of the oblivion, like you're sort

420
00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:39,559
of oblivious to this, and what do you do? And

421
00:24:39,559 --> 00:24:42,119
the more I thought about it, and especially after hearing

422
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,079
this podcast that I took a three mile walk this

423
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,640
morning and listened to it, and I I started to think, Wow,

424
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,920
you know, over the years on radio I talked about

425
00:24:55,279 --> 00:24:58,319
being molested, right, and I don't know that I've ever

426
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,680
really dealt with it. But I just thought talking about

427
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,400
it would be good, and it came up. And this

428
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,759
is a weird day, right because locally radio Hall of

429
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:12,640
Famer Brother Weez announced that he is this is going

430
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,880
to be his last show on Radio ninety five to one,

431
00:25:16,519 --> 00:25:20,920
where he's working now, but he was out at the

432
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,359
time living with cancer. So I'm producing his show. So

433
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,559
I'm in there and at the time, I remember there

434
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,599
was a comic in there and Tommy's given John Detulio

435
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,119
a bunch of shit because he won't go out. And

436
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:41,480
John's like, unless it's family, we don't allow anybody but

437
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,240
family to sit with the kids, okay, And so I

438
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:50,799
said something to the effect of you know, because John's like, yeah,

439
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:53,799
it was only family, and I went, well, even people

440
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,799
who are really close to you, bad things can happen.

441
00:25:57,079 --> 00:26:00,519
And I said, we had somebody who was really close

442
00:26:01,079 --> 00:26:03,880
to our family and I go in the babysitter molested

443
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,599
me and I just blurted it out. That was the

444
00:26:05,599 --> 00:26:08,480
first time on the radio, and I think that, like

445
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,920
the room, it was like a needle going across a record.

446
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:16,119
And then I continue to talk about it over the years,

447
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,680
and even when and did something where I was on

448
00:26:19,759 --> 00:26:24,119
a panel at Pavona talking about the different things that

449
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,119
Pavona does. And I look over and there's somebody who

450
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,480
I went to college with on the panel, and I

451
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,160
had no idea, and I don't think she didn't have

452
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,880
any idea. And these were things that you just didn't

453
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,480
really talk about. And the more I talked about it,

454
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,559
so I kind of thought, while I'm dealing with it.

455
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,559
But here's my point with this. I can't tell you

456
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,319
the number of letters and emails that I would receive

457
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,839
from men who would say to me, thank you so

458
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,200
much for saying that happened to you and showing that

459
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,839
you can kind of continue on. And one guy wrote

460
00:26:57,839 --> 00:26:59,400
me how he was going to kill himself and he

461
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,319
was so upset and it was really this, that and

462
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,599
the other thing, and you know, no one believed them,

463
00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:06,880
and it was just amazing, and I thought, wow, so

464
00:27:07,039 --> 00:27:10,440
all this stuff seems to just line up, like the

465
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,319
mental health counseling, And I'm like, yeah, and I go,

466
00:27:13,519 --> 00:27:17,640
even if you at some point were uh, just able

467
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,839
to help somebody in that situation, really deal with that,

468
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,640
because it does it does screw you up.

469
00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 6: And I've wondered if that might be one of the

470
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,119
directions that you go. I've been since you know, this

471
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,440
has all come about so quickly. We've Yeah, was three

472
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,960
days ago that the decided. Yeah, and uh for us too.

473
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,759
It was a unique situation. Like you said, there's a

474
00:27:39,759 --> 00:27:43,359
lot of synchronicity. We had uh, full class, we had,

475
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,079
the program was full. We had one student withdraw. We

476
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,400
had a weight list, but the wait list evaporated because

477
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,599
started ye and so we kind of miraculously had this

478
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,440
space available.

479
00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

480
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,559
Speaker 6: You know there's the program through FLIPS, the CPT program

481
00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:02,119
that you know, helping with with students just coming in

482
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,240
this year. Uh, and so we were able to get

483
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,799
you interviewed quick, get your application taken care of quick.

484
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,759
And I've been thinking NonStop about kind of what you're

485
00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:12,440
gonna do with this. I can't wait to see. I'm

486
00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:14,640
I'm you know, I have Fraser running through my mind.

487
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:20,680
I have I can imagine something with comedy and mental health.

488
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,839
There's so much research right now that looks.

489
00:28:22,599 --> 00:28:25,279
Speaker 2: At Yeah, you sent me the article. Guess what I

490
00:28:25,319 --> 00:28:26,640
haven't done. I haven't read it yet.

491
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 5: I wouldn't expect you to.

492
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: I did it. No, I do want to read it.

493
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,480
It's one of these things where like, you know, yesterday

494
00:28:31,599 --> 00:28:33,640
was the first day of school for Jamison, and then

495
00:28:33,759 --> 00:28:37,440
he was driving me nuts when he came home because

496
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,079
he wants this certain book bag and it's some kind

497
00:28:40,079 --> 00:28:45,640
of special splash painting. Yeah, listen in my mind. And

498
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,200
then he's screaming in the store. He loves to do

499
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,079
this once in a while. And this is where I go,

500
00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:55,279
there's like, no respect. But I've lost control, rob, I

501
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,920
have lost total control. He's screaming. This guy's here made

502
00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:02,559
fourteen year old girl, and he thinks it's so funny.

503
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,119
And I'm like, I, you know.

504
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 5: This might not help.

505
00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:07,279
Speaker 6: I haven't met many psychologists kids who aren't a little

506
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:07,839
bit messed up.

507
00:29:11,759 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: But he's so funny and stuff, and I there's a

508
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,079
part of me that goes, that's hilarious. I mean it's

509
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,200
so hilarious because it's it's so uncomfortable, right, you would

510
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,720
just never do it. You would say, that's one of

511
00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:27,680
those things, you say, how funny would this be to do?

512
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,160
Could you imagine how they would react? And then nobody

513
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,559
does it. This idiot does it, and he's like.

514
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 6: Me in that sense, Andy does it with you, which

515
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,759
is like it's kind of beautiful that he feels that

516
00:29:36,839 --> 00:29:38,759
you have that relationship with him where he can do

517
00:29:38,799 --> 00:29:39,359
that kind of thing.

518
00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 5: I think that there's something to that.

519
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:43,319
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well I'm glad you said that because

520
00:29:43,359 --> 00:29:45,640
I was like so annoyed yesterday. I was, and then

521
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,480
at one point he said to me, listen, I'm really sorry.

522
00:29:47,599 --> 00:29:49,440
I feel like I'm getting under your skin a little bit.

523
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,440
And I said, well, I have a lot of things

524
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:57,680
on my mind and I'm trying to make everything, you know,

525
00:29:58,119 --> 00:30:01,400
balance out here and that whatever, it is.

526
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 5: A perfect process.

527
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 6: You came over to my house for the fire Saturday night,

528
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,400
and my kids were I had a kid with friends

529
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,559
over jumping in the trampoline on top of pool floats.

530
00:30:10,319 --> 00:30:11,519
Speaker 5: Yeah it was, but I loved it.

531
00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:12,599
Speaker 2: I thought that was so cool.

532
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, it's nobody got hurt, right, cool?

533
00:30:15,759 --> 00:30:15,839
Speaker 6: Right?

534
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,759
Speaker 2: It was like, That's what I didn't say to you.

535
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:19,880
I go, I would probably twist anicle doing that, but

536
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,559
that no big deal. But that I could totally see

537
00:30:23,559 --> 00:30:25,960
as a kid. Now, see, I would have taken at

538
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,880
one step further if I could have as a kid, uh,

539
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,440
because we did have a trampoline, but we didn't have

540
00:30:31,519 --> 00:30:33,799
the sides on it. When I was grown up.

541
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 5: They don't think they even made it.

542
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,319
Speaker 2: It was just yeah, I don't know. So this was more.

543
00:30:38,559 --> 00:30:41,119
I think I was already at at Fisher and my

544
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,480
parents got a trampoline from my brother and sister. And

545
00:30:43,519 --> 00:30:46,200
when I would come home, I would jump off the

546
00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:49,799
railing of the deck and it was a good not

547
00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:52,200
ten feet but probably like somewhere between six and eight

548
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,119
feet away, and I would do a belly flop on

549
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,400
it and then flip over in the air. And if

550
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,119
I knew I could have put a pool raft on there,

551
00:30:58,119 --> 00:31:01,640
I would have tried to pop it. And seets like

552
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,559
those are the things where I go. I was because

553
00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:07,240
I do go to therapy and I've talked about that

554
00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:08,960
and you know who I see, and I said to

555
00:31:09,519 --> 00:31:13,559
her today, I go there are things like that where

556
00:31:13,559 --> 00:31:15,480
people will go I would never do that. That would scare

557
00:31:15,519 --> 00:31:17,839
the shit out of me, like you know, driving a

558
00:31:17,839 --> 00:31:20,559
car real fast or doing exactly that, jumping off the

559
00:31:20,599 --> 00:31:24,519
thing onto that doesn't scare me. But there's some interpersonal

560
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:26,759
things that man, I get like, I can't do it.

561
00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:30,400
I just can't do it. Yeah, But I am excited

562
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,599
about this and I think it's going to be great.

563
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 6: I think it's going to be fantastic. I'm excited to

564
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,279
work with you. As I said before, I've been my

565
00:31:40,319 --> 00:31:42,480
mind's going down stop with kind of where you're going

566
00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:45,279
to take this. I'm excited to have you in class

567
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,440
as I As I told you there's you're actually but

568
00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:52,200
maybe the fourth oldest in this incoming class, so you're

569
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,880
not We've got several non traditional we call them students

570
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,079
right now, and I'd love to see it typically.

571
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:01,519
Speaker 5: You know, it's so helpful to the other students in

572
00:32:01,559 --> 00:32:02,079
the class too.

573
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,759
Speaker 6: And I've got a seventy percent twenty three year old

574
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,519
emails in these classes, and so when you have drop

575
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:10,720
a couple of non traditional students in there, it improves

576
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,079
their learning experience. I feel like everyone learns from each other.

577
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,720
I love teaching classes when I've got at least a

578
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,039

624
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,159
I'm so excited.

625
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 2: I am too, and I thank you very much for

626
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,119
bringing the opportunity or raising it, because oh, I wanted

627
00:34:45,119 --> 00:34:46,719
to tell you that was it, and you wanted to

628
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,239
say something as well. My mother, so my education was

629
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,400
a big thing, and I always joked for many many

630
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,519
years that I'm the least educated in my family. My

631
00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:57,119
brother is a masters, my sister is a doctor in linguistics,

632
00:34:57,119 --> 00:35:01,199
my mother as a master's and my father had everything

633
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:07,480
but the dissertation, basically with philosophy. And yeah, so when

634
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,840
this came about, I called her and she's like, you

635
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,719
got to do it, you have to. I think this

636
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,159
is wonderful. And then I like, you know, I get

637
00:35:15,159 --> 00:35:16,559
a couple of calls throughout the day, and then one

638
00:35:16,559 --> 00:35:18,440
of them and she gets mad when I mock her

639
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,239
because she doesn't really sound like this. But this is

640
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,079
how I've always heard my mother in my head. She's going,

641
00:35:23,159 --> 00:35:26,119
oh my god, this. I have been praying and praying

642
00:35:26,199 --> 00:35:28,559
that something would just work out for you because I

643
00:35:28,599 --> 00:35:31,079
know things have been just it's hard. I know it's hard.

644
00:35:31,119 --> 00:35:33,880
I know you and Jameson, and I worry. I worry

645
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,199
so much, that's the thing. But she was so excited.

646
00:35:39,079 --> 00:35:41,960
I don't even know. It's not really and when he's

647
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,840
heard my mom, that's not really how she sounds. And uh,

648
00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:47,480
but yet in my head, God, I could I even

649
00:35:47,519 --> 00:35:51,239
do it to her face sometimes and she'll go, that's

650
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,679
not me, and I go, oh, it is, at least

651
00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:54,360
in my head.

652
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 5: In that same way, that's not me.

653
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 2: But she was super, super excited and was the first

654
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,960
person I called. And she said to me, what I

655
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:09,079
have said, and it's what I feel like. I've just

656
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,400
lost myself in the moment. I don't know. And here's

657
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,239
what I mean by that. She said to me, don't

658
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,679
talk to a lot of people about.

659
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 5: This, Go forth and tell no one.
