Speaker 1: Hey, it's Bill. If you're looking for a new car,
I want you to go to Victor Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
And here's why. You know the halstorm that came through.
Maybe you didn't experience it, but it really hit bad
in the Farmington, Canandagua area and they had hal damage
to some of the cars. Like it was a hell
of a storm. But I was out there yesterday and
I was talking to Karm and he said to me, look, man,
we've got brand new cars that were discounting some of
these up to twenty thousand dollars. You hearing this right,
Some already have rebates. So you're getting a brand new car.
Let's say your brand new car is thirty four thousand
dollars and there's a four thousand dollars rebate. That makes
your thirty four thousand dollar car thirty thousand. And then
if it has some dimples, because I'm driving a beautiful
ragtop Jeep from Victor Chrysler Dodg Jeep Ram that has
some dimples, like in the hood, like a little bit
of damage held damage, they take off let's say like
another ten thousand. So now you got a brand new
car for twenty thousand, where you may be buying a
used version of the same car with seventy thousand miles
on it for twenty thousand. Why wouldn't you buy new?
Why wouldn't you go to Victor Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
The hell, we'll bother them, but it could benefit you,
is what I'm trying to say. Go see that beautiful dealership,
Look at the beautiful cars. I'm telling you that this
damage is so minimal you can hardly see it. But boy,
you sure can see it in the price. And that's
where it counts the most. Right Victor Chrysler Dodgejeep Ram

Speaker 3: Call it a podcast from the Mac of All Trade
Studio in Fairport and driven by Victor Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
Speaker 2: It's Billified, the Bill Moran Podcast.
Speaker 1: 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, one person at a time. Well,
I just feel like I don't wear hats a lot.
Kevin got me this for my birthday and it's I
feel bad because he was writing me. But I was
so drunk at the Stone show. Hey, man, if you
see a hat, buy me a hat. I don't know,
don't excay, but I.
Speaker 2: Always say, I go, I did seventy five dollars, you too, Yeah,
can wear a Stone's I remember an episode of nine
oh two one oh yeah where Dylan was in rehab
and the Stones were coming to Beverly Hills to play
it or they're coming to some big, you know, concert venue.
So of course the rich kids from Beverly Hills were
all like helping do security and tickets and stuff right somehow, so,
you know, so they promote Jamie Walter at the time
he had that one hit and he's playing and somebody
eah get off the stage. Meanwhile, Dylan's back in rehab
and he gets in this argument with this guy named Jonesy,
and Dylan's wearing a Stone's hat and he goes, that
hat represents getting high and drugs and women everything we
try to fight and rehab and he goes, this hat
was a gift man, like a cool voice. Then later
on the guy comes back. Hey, because I challenged you,
you got stronger? Could I wear that hat? And he
walks around with the hat on?
Speaker 1: But I always think like, I just like dorky in
the hat. I look like I'm not a hat guy,
not a hack really. Yeah, I don't really wear hats
a lot. I like them. Yeah, well, I run a hat.
Like if I get up and go for a run,
I'll wear a hat.
Speaker 4: It's very funny. I actually love baseball hook caps like
I wear hats. Yeah, but yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's the tongue sticking out the.
Speaker 2: First time I met you. Yeah, And I don't even
think you realize it, because I was a Bill's intern
getting guests for the show that you produced, but you
weren't producing it at the time. You were there with
a with a recorder, trying to play a game called
Guest the Belching Bill. Yes, you had a hat on.
Speaker 1: I did a whole thing where I would have the
players burp, and then I would give options as to
who it was, and then you had a guess that
I did that because the morning show had gotten in
trouble for have you ever banged a white chick? They
would ask the black players, have you ever well?
Speaker 2: They'd asked the white players, have you ever.
Speaker 1: Ever banged a black chick? Yeah? They didn't go over
very very well. What was.
Speaker 5: Little?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 1: I think a couple. Yeah, I think it was mostly
the black guys had banged white chicks, but not the
other way around. Why are you making that face? What
do you what do you know? What do you know?
Speaker 4: But that I like dated, we're both like only dated
white girls. Yeah, yeah, I didn't understand that.
Speaker 1: Uh I I don't know either. I can't explain.
Speaker 2: So my friend Icy, who's black, is engaged to a
white girl. Yeah, he sends me all these like videos
and a I wonder if he's trying to test my
my racism, right, because they're all like, you know, kind
of like racially charged. But he's like he like says
it with the l O l attached to it, and
he says me one video, why black when men only
date white women?
Speaker 1: I'm like, what do you how do you want me
to react to exactly exactly what are you going to say?
You know, what are you going to say? That's that's
so funny.
Speaker 2: But I ended up watching this video for like three minutes.
I'm like, like, where's this going? It's like a punchline
to it, and it was like, no, there was no
punch line, Like these are legitimate reasons. He's gimming me,
and I'm like, dude, great, awesome, I'm happy for you.
Speaker 1: You're better off not just not stepping into that. By
the way, I didn't even think of this. My sister
married to a black guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean
I never even thought about it. Yeah, I don't. That's
and that's the truth, know how people go. I don't
even see color, so even think about it, like at all.
Speaker 4: Well, I think.
Speaker 1: Of my brother in law and my sister. They're two
freaky smart people, like freakishly smart. They do really cool ship.
My sister they just went to Costa Rica. She did
a bunch of dives and the kids and all this stuff.
They had a great time.
Speaker 2: So I remember, like the last year I was able
to cover the bills when I had a radio job. Yeah.
So we're on the sidelines at camp right in this one,
black reporters kind of holding court with a bunch of
white reporters too, because the day before Rex Ryan had
had been asked about having three black quarterbacks, and Rex goes.
Speaker 1: Well, that's true. Yeah, here's rare.
Speaker 2: But here's what Rex said. He goes, I didn't even
realize we had three black quarterbacks, But I said, I
said the same thing. It never dawned on me. But
this writer was a come on, Rex.
Speaker 1: Well, it's like I'm.
Speaker 2: Like f off Man because I didn't realize that either yet.
Speaker 1: But I mean, it sounds like a trade thing because
it is sort of a historic thing for the NFL.
You think about it, but from.
Speaker 2: Eighty seven to at that point twenty sixteen, you'd had
like twenty years of progress in that department you had.
Do we have to remind everybuddy.
Speaker 1: But not never three on the same team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the thing. I didn't realize it.
Speaker 1: No, that's not what I'm saying. Yes, but that's kind
of cool. But even I think to ask the question
isn't a bad thing.
Speaker 2: I don't think asking the question is a bad thing.
We're making a big deal about his answer. He's being honest. Yeah,
excuse me, because you know Rex Rex is not that
kind of guy.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a lot of things, but a racist, No,
he's not one of them.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you since you bring it up, Tua
and the whole thing that went on on the Dan
Levitard Show for Laura, who may not know, but I
think this would be a relatable thing for you too,
because it certainly transcends sports in my opinion. But he
was asked about a former we'll call it like a
former boss, former head coach, versus the current head coach.
Now he never says Flora's his name, but everybody knew,
and I don't know. We don't hear the question, We
just hear the response.
Speaker 3: To put it in simplest terms, if you woke up
every morning and I told you you suck at what
you did, that you don't belong doing what you do,
that you show and be here, that this guy should
be here, that you haven't earned this right. And then
you have somebody else come in and tell you, dude,
you are the best fit for this, like you are accurate,
you are the best. Whatever you are, this you are that, Like,
how would it make you feel listening to one or
the other? I don't care who you are. You can
be the president of the United States. You have a
terrible person that's telling you things that you you don't
want to hear, or that that you probably shouldn't be hearing.
You're going to start to believe that about yourself.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Lauren, When do you hear that?
Speaker 4: I don't know the contacts, but like, yeah, it's it's
negative about you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you could see where it can really
affect the guy in.
Speaker 4: The affect you're moral your self worth.
Speaker 2: And I want to think that.
Speaker 4: But this is with your ex wife or in work.
Speaker 1: Oh to the Mike question is like there are people
I did I didn't think anything about this is like
he's soft. I didn't think that at all. I never did.
I thought that I had shitty radio bosses along the
way that would do things just like that. I had
one that would always tell me I'm into barrel and
my jobs in the line and this and that. And
I will tell you that the bosses that are like
that usually have don't last long. No, they're usually shitty people,
and they wind up blowing themselves up in someone right,
and that the.
Speaker 2: Over compensating for something else, and they don't.
Speaker 1: Have This guy was, you know, ripping off record companies
and taking his ski trips out west. No, yeah, there
were all kinds of shit going on. So they did
all that stuff. But in this I can see where
it gets in the psyche of you and Brian Flores
was asked about it. I thought he gave a great answer,
basically saying, you know, uh, he had two players there
to support him, kind of showing that he is a
better coach. I think he's probably a better coach for
hearing this.
Speaker 2: He said, I'm not perfect. Okay, nobody is. Let's get
rid of the fault answer. But he says he he
wants to believe that he has grown as a person,
which is great. So here's my issue. So the media
all jumped to Tua's defense. What do you mean, Oh,
the media all like after tuas tag Tongue Iolo said
this about Brian Flores. Yeah, they all jumped to his
defense and said, yeah, what a jerk Brian Flores was.
I Oh, that's funny because two years ago all you
idiots went after Tua and defended Flores, and then when
Floras turned around too, the Dolphins for quote unquote racism,
even though the general Manrew who fired him is also black.
You guys all said the Dolphins are racist. How dare
they ask a head coach to tank when the reality
is the Buffalo radio station begged Terry Pagoula for two
years to tank for a guy named Jack Eichel. You're
all a bunch of hypocrites, but in this regard to
is right. You can't have your star quarterback can't be
told what a douchebag he is every day of the
week and expect to perform well.
Speaker 1: He had a good uh college coach, he played for Alabama, right,
I mean, like they don't get Savan's not you know,
and Satan, but Saban knew. It goes back to what
It goes back to my theory of a good boss
knows his employees, knows what makes him work. If Laura
wants to be at every every one of her kid's
soccer games, and she needs to leave by three o'clock
as long as she has her work done, and she'll
do maybe a little later, and it's willing to take
a seventy five thousand dollars a year salary, that's fine.
And Dan is a guy who's gonna go run through
walls and work all the time. And it's not married.
It doesn't have that, and it's gonna make two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. It comes down to quality of
life and what's gonna make you happy? But she, as
a boss have to know that. And that's the thing
that I took from this.
Speaker 2: In Sabd's case, oh just real quick. And Sabdan's case,
like the thing is he yelled with his players, not
at his players. He yelled at his coaches. So if
Tua wasn't performing, he'd go after Brian David.
Speaker 1: But I watched they showed a highlight and I don't
remember this. I don't watch a lot of college football,
but they showed a highlight where two through an interception
like really bad, and he came off the sideline and
Saban put his arm around him and was like whispering.
But it wasn't as though he's not in his face
yelling him you suck. I didn't want you here. I
didn't want this.
Speaker 2: I say, it's tough, but he's fair. Well, Flores wasn't fair.
Speaker 1: But Flores also came from the Bill Belichick school to coach.
Speaker 2: All bullies because they can't. They're not Belichick. Belichick's a genius.
They're not. So they try to com what would Bill do? Well,
Bill wouldn't necessarily do he could do that, Bill, He
could do that to Tom Brady, because Brady would give
it right back to him and say, yeah, watch this,
but he knew what buttons to push. You can't do
that with a quarterback.
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be surprised if Flores becomes a head
coach today, and it is better because I.
Speaker 2: Don't think he'll become a head coach ever. Again, you know,
you don't sue an NFL owner and then become an
NFL head coach and you don't bash. You don't bash
a franchise quarterback the way you did and get away
with that now, and you want more proof of that.
What's his name? The McDaniels, not the head coach of Miami,
the ex head coach of the Raiders before that, the Broncos.
He tried pulling the Belichick crap everywhere he's gone, and
he's failed. He has ruined it for all the Belichick assistance.
They're all screwed now and Flores too. Sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna say, like I know anything sports, but
like if Tua, he's the quarterback, the quarterback is sort
of looked at as like a team captain.
Speaker 1: Or are you know?
Speaker 4: So if his coach is talking ship to him, and
he is, you know, spiraling down, Then what's he going
to do to the rest of his team. He's not
going to be able to amp them up or pull
them together, And then you're gonna have a question in
yourself circle. It's like, so, then yeah, he's gonna up
because if he's not inspiring his job.
Speaker 1: Did you ever have like a corporate job? Not really
like if you have a boss, it's always kind of quite.
You start to question yourself when you're playing and when
you play scared, whether it's for your job or whatever,
you're just you're never play scared.
Speaker 2: You're screwed. Like with quarterback, like the foremost scrutinized.
Speaker 1: Positions, they'll go back to you. I don't care about
the quarterbacks. Didn't you say that you you went through this?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did go through this, and I think it
was more like me than anything else in my own paranoia.
Speaker 1: Okay, but like you know, was it when we were
working together that too?
Speaker 2: But I mean I went through it with uh. I
don't want I don't want to, I don't want to
name names, but I mean there were certain bosses after that. Yeah, yeah,
because I knew how to do a sports radio show. No,
you need to talk more hockey. I go, okay, Syracuse
Orangeman were going to the final four and the Sabers
were at the bottom of the league. Let's talk more hockey.
Speaker 1: The Bills were about.
Speaker 2: To, like, you know, hire a new head coach. Let's
talk more hockey.
Speaker 1: That's because they that's why they said.
Speaker 2: You didn't talk about hockey. That's why we let you go. No,
you let us go because the show sucked. And I
get that, but don't lie to me. And he said, well, Dan,
if you know what you're doing, you know when you
know they wanted to save a bunch of money and
two guys who already work there.
Speaker 1: Did you hear about the keeper test. I did listen
to that, the keeper test. That's the thing, right, the
keeper was the keeper? Yeah, all right, I don't apparently
I have a separate, completely separate question. And this is
one is more for Laura, just because you're you're you're
here and it may sound sexist when I answer this
or chauvinistic. My fourteen year old son is coming to
live with me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm terrified for you as well.
Speaker 1: How many towels I don't mean to last. I know
that sounds ridiculous, but like how many towels I go?
I think, I go three days and then I throw
the towel and I get another. I have two towels
always working because I do the cold shower in the
hot shower. I have the cold shower towel and the
hot shower when I go three days or the warm shower.
But I go three days and then I new towels.
Three days new towels. Is that too long? No? Are
you supposed to go? Like I thought there was some
kind of hype. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean to be.
Speaker 4: Honest, I switched my towels every week, but and I
think that that's way more than the average person.
Speaker 2: Nor like she's not kidding.
Speaker 4: I think I think the average person like, let's their
Joe was living by himself.
Speaker 1: Let's just use that.
Speaker 4: I have no idea, But I actually what I was
going to say is I when I when you were dating. No,
when my ex moved out, I literally asked him, like,
are you changing your sheets your towels?
Speaker 1: Yes, my sheets once a week.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he never had to do them because I
did it.
Speaker 1: For thirteen years.
Speaker 4: And like I just it's like that weaponized competent.
Speaker 5: I was like, are you washing?
Speaker 1: I got a great compliment from my weaponized My ex
said to me, I don't miss you, but I miss
that you clean the bathrooms because.
Speaker 4: Like what I said the other week that I never
missed my axe, I miss the help around the house.
Speaker 1: Danny, h I cleaned the bathrooms because you had the
little boys, and little boys are like, you know, they're
peeing and all of a sudden, somebody.
Speaker 7: Else, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: They're still sprinkler system all around there.
Speaker 4: Worry about Jamison is does he like, okay, taking a shower,
is he going to actually go and hang the towel up?
Because if you leave it crumpled on the ground like
that towel doesn't last. But if you actually go and
hang it over the bar where it's gonna dry a
little bit, well, yeah, you need to get I would say,
you need to get about three to four more towels.
Speaker 1: Okay, then I get three to four more towels. Yeah,
because that's what I was thinking. I don't know, it
was one of the things that I thought of it. Today.
I get out of the shower, I think I got
to get.
Speaker 5: You to get more towels.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I agree, but I'm I'm going to be
on top of him for organizations.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know that's a big get those habits, yeah.

don't know, maybe it's my age now, but they're gonna
be on CBS Sunday morning this week. They're gonna do
a whole interview with them, and they're both like eighty
and eighty one, So there's two of you left. Mick
is eighty one and Keith is eighty and they're still
out there to yeah, man doing the thing. They're out there.
I loved it. I gotta say I thought the show
was great in Cleveland.
Speaker 5: How much longer left do they have with the tour?
Speaker 1: They're done? Okay, they're done, and they'll probably be one
of the top grossing tours because I think people were
paying a couple of thousand to be on the floor. Yeah,
you know, they were supposed to come. So when I
graduated high school in the Year of Our Lord nineteen
hundred and eighty nine, and.
Speaker 5: I was four.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jesus Christ, we are you guys even born?
Speaker 5: I was four?
Speaker 1: Okay, you were four nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 5: God damn nineteen eighty five, babe.
Speaker 1: Eighty okay. Yeah, So my parents got me tickets to
see the Stones. So then in twenty twenty, the Stones
were going to tour again and my son was graduating
high school, so my brother and I were going to
take him. And it was a big controversy in the
family because the next day. His graduation was going to
be I think it was on a Sunday at and
it was going to be at the Eastman Theater. And
then COVID hit yep, and everything got shut down, so
it didn't matter.
Speaker 4: What year did they come to Ralph Wilson.
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety something? No, yeah, they probably did it earlier
ninety seven. I went, I thought again, Oh they did
after that in two thousand.
Speaker 8: Ye.
Speaker 4: I had friends that went and I went to.
Speaker 1: The Stars Fest. They played the Stars Fest in Canada, Toronto, Yeah, Toronto, yep.
I went to that.
Speaker 4: Didn't they come out like the Fast like name after
the virus?
Speaker 1: Named after the virus. It was because Canada got hit
so bad with it. I think it was to promote
tourism himself. He rush played the Flaming Lips, just General
Chamberlain and he got boots, so the Stove brought him
out and they did a song with him. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Could you imagine like America having a COVID Fest.
Speaker 1: Like get back out? We should have probably.
Speaker 4: Why would you name it the COVID Fast.
Speaker 1: Because you want to get out there and show that
it's not that benefit. No, No, I mean I think
we I think it was called stars Fest. I'm pretty
sure Toronto got.
Speaker 2: Like like annihilated with this.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So still it's like it was like three yeah, because
remember what so I remember the Nighthawks were playing the
Toronto Rock.
Speaker 1: Hey, by the way, they got a new owner, the Nighthawks. Somebody,
somebody in Rochester bought the Nighthawks. I'm trying to figure out.
I'm trying to go through all my rolodex of rich people.
That's a nice piece of real estate, the Nighthawks. Yeah, yeah,
people love that. So gone.
Speaker 2: But the so the original Nighthawks team that went to
Nova Scotia when they were owned by the Donners and
O three they had playing they were playing the Toronto
Rock in the championship and somebody decided, you know what
we should all do. We should wear masks to show
up support for Toronto. So this thing went viral, and
as viral is viral could go in two thousand and three,
because we're got out, people are like, wait, are you
kidding me? And I was on a sports show at
that point and this guy called up to like talk
talk about supporting the people in Toronto with the masks.
And then I had like reporters calling me while this
guy was on the air. Hey Dan, ask this guy
if he's the guy, and like, yeah, that's me. It's
like Brad kind of Brad Davies like was like this
is stupid. Well this is really he goes no, which
is why we just like watch a lacrosse game for
the second watching a lacrosse we uh.
Speaker 1: When we did wear masks, I I didn't even get
a cold. I loved it, like I didn't get sick
at all. But I I didn't COVID like other people.
I didn't have my kids. I didn't have my kids
and my COVID well no, but I still went into
work every day. I was on the radio. So I
had to go. We had to go in, Well, yeah,
I had.
Speaker 2: The other guy got to stay home. No, we came in.
Speaker 1: We all came in. We were on the because we
were also on the AM station, so that was the news.
Speaker 2: Because the other the other the other company had everybody
from all to produce us.
Speaker 1: So we went in and I wanted to go in.
I wanted to go in and then and then I didn't.
I didn't stay home. I would go out because Damien.
Speaker 4: I was going to say he went to the back
door of mc culmery.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went to Damien like we redid the floors
and drank everything. I was more fucked up during COVID
than I had. I was so hammered all the time
and I didn't get sick forever, and then I got
I did get it, but like two years later.
Speaker 2: I got I got COVID two years later. It's like
swallowing litz cigarettes.
Speaker 1: It was awful. No, it is bad. I mean even
now people are like dying right now.
Speaker 7: It's tough, rampant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think I had it because I
still got the cough. But I went to the doctor.
They tested me and they said no, I swear to
got my doctor goes. I just I'm just gonna tell
people no because everybody's gonna flip the fuck out. I
really do, because I I remember when I did have it,
right and Jamison was coming to visit me as my
youngest son, and I remember talking to my mom and
she's like, you got to ask your doctor for whatever
the drugs are that would speed up the recovery. Right
I'm listening. I said, she's going, you really should do that,
You should really do that. And I think she was
more nervous that maybe my wife would say, Hey, you
don't get time with him this summer because you know
you were sick. So I call him and he goes, yeah,
you're too healthy. You're you're too healthy for that. That's
for people who are like, oh, you're knocking on death.
Speaker 2: My doctor said the same thing.
Speaker 1: He goes, because the supply is.
Speaker 2: In New York State, they kind of limit what you
could do, right if you were in the South.
Speaker 1: But have that it's now, I think now like it is.
I think twenty I thought I read the twenty percent
of Americans have COVID right now. So but I know
a lot of people like who went to Vegas, they
came back, they got COVID. My kid went to they
had a pop Oh you didn't know this. They did
a pop up Keith Urban show at a BUCkies. Do
you know BUCkies? Okay, So, so my son lives in
my and my actually live in Athens, Alabama, which is
near Huntsville. So like when I was on the radio,
I would go to the Huntsville stations because I did
a lot of national stuff for them. And uh, he
put out on a Friday morning that he was gonna
he went to BUCkies and he was going to play.
Three thousand people showed up for a free Keith Urban
show at outside BUCkies.
Speaker 4: That's so crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think they wound up just like going,
we can't get any more people in here. It's a
few old. It was BUCkies.
Speaker 2: It's not Central Park with Garth Brooks.
Speaker 1: You got it exactly. People didn't have the real estate.
Bunkies are huge.
Speaker 2: They're insane.
Speaker 1: I watched them build this over the years when I
would go down. It took them like, uh wow, about
probably about a year to get it all together. And
it's what this guy, I think it was his father's
and it was in Texas and then he just blew
it out to every all around the South. But it's
a brand. It's a brand. It's like this buck tooth beaver, right,
that's Bucky.
Speaker 8: My husband actually mentioned it to me the other day.
He's like, you know, when we drive down south again,
I think that on our route we might pass by
a Bucky. There's one opening.
Speaker 7: I really want to check it out.
Speaker 1: The BUCkies is becoming like Lore you know what I mean.
They have merched, they have merched. They do check Bucky.
So he came So that's when Jamison got COVID ground
a bunch of people, right. I had been all over
the place and then uh, I forget and I got sick.
And I don't know if I have did not test positive,
but somebody I know went to Vegas. People on the plane,
my brother, he had it. His wife then got it.
Speaker 4: So many people, so many clients have it. Literally Thursday
and it is after my surgery. Renee comes over and
then Friday she calls me and is like, by the way,
I just tested positive for COVID.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, what, Well, you don't want it if
you can avoid it. It's kind of tired.
Speaker 2: I cut something in May. I felt worse and I
did with COVID. Really, I had a breathing issue. Yeah,
Kevin's wife had the same thing.
Speaker 1: I think I got that. Yeah, because it's like been
weeks now, I hit it under the table.
Speaker 4: I wanted tested for pneumonia. I told you, yeah, because
Joe had walking pneumonia for three weeks.
Speaker 1: I used to get pneumonia a lot when I was
a kid.
Speaker 5: I do have a follow up real quick. Okay, he washes,
he washes his.
Speaker 4: Sheets every two weeks, and he switches out his towel
every other day because he's two other four times.
Speaker 1: A day, two other Ladiessha and Jenny in this studio.
Is it weekly with sheets? I was always weekly, even
single on weekly? Yeah, weekly, Yeah, But I mean if
it's just you on the sheet, I guess it doesn't matter.
If it's only gonna be yes.
Speaker 4: It's like your nastiness day.
Speaker 1: There are times if I've been out drinking, I wake up.
I wake up and it's like I was hooked up
to a light detector test in my dream and I'm
sweating it out.
Speaker 2: Make us like bathe at night because you don't want
to take that filth with you the bed, do you. Yeah,
So it's like, okay, we want to keep the sheets clean,
so you're gonna have to go to bed this right
shower and then that way we'll keep the sheets clean longer.
Speaker 1: Cleaner, longer.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: H Caution and Jenny are in the studio because they're
hiking the Grand Canyon in September and it's for a
really really great cause that I watched all the videos
that you had sent me, and this sounds intense. It
doesn't sound like I mean, it's not it's not a hike.
It's not you know, it's not a leisurely stroll through Letchworth.
This is twenty three and a half miles down into
the actual canyon. Do you go over a bridge?
Speaker 8: No, we start at the North Rim, Okay, we hike down.
Speaker 1: Because I heard one lady say I watched her run
when they got to the bottom. She ran across a bridge.
So I didn't know if there was something over the river.
I don't know.
Speaker 8: I've actually never been to the Grand Canyon, Okay, so
I don't really know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we.
Speaker 8: Started the North Rim at the top, Okay. You hike
all the way down to the base and then back up.
So you start at the north and you end at.
Speaker 1: The south, okay. And that's basically a marathon, right, twenty
six miles twenty three and a half or something like.
Speaker 8: That, A lot of like you said about the elevation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I would just you know, the difference between
like hiking the Adirondicks and hiking the Rockies is people
will tell you it's harder to hike the Adirondicks because
it's pretty much straight up and down, and at least
in the Rockies you have switchbacks and things. Right, so
you're kind of going these paths and it's a little easier.
I don't know. I want it's like to hike the
Grand Canyon. Have you seen it anything? Honest?
Speaker 5: Well, we've been. We've been.
Speaker 8: I've been observing a lot of content about it, just
to mentally prepare my Yeah, what to expect. Yeah, I
mean it's definitely going to be grueling.
Speaker 1: What do you do to prepare? Have you done anything?
Speaker 5: I eat a lot.
Speaker 1: No, But like are you putting backpacks on and walking around?
I don't know, are.
Speaker 4: You through hiking or are you camping?
Speaker 1: This is through?
Speaker 4: This is one one day hike.
Speaker 1: It's twelve hours ship.
Speaker 5: Yeah, most people camp at the bottom, but that's.
Speaker 1: It's a one day In September in Arizona, we've been getting.
Speaker 8: A lot of warnings actually from the organization telling us
about the heat and heat index.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It's like because I I always
think like the hottest month, and I may I might
be wrong, but I've been to La like twice, freaking
unbelievable in September.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's supposed to be pretty hot and then you're
actually that are okay out there. So in addition to
the do the elevation changes and the length of the
hike and the weight of the packs, we have to what's.
Speaker 1: The weight of the packs that they have?
Speaker 8: Well, I mean it's all at your own discretion.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's your own discretion with some other some.
Speaker 8: Other people as well. So we're trying to be smart
about you know, I'll cover you know, X, Y Z
things for my pack.
Speaker 1: You covered right, right, so that ways. Yeah, I would
even put baby wipes in there by the way. Yeah,
I'm only thinking just to like, yeah, it's a little
more refreshing in that hot dusty you know. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Do you have to undergoing medical tests like anemia or
anything like that before you go because you're changing like
your altitude? Well no, because if you're.
Speaker 1: You're going to pass out at seven thousand feet.
Speaker 2: No, that's that happens.
Speaker 1: I'm totally messing with you.
Speaker 8: Well, I actually have a little bit of that.
Speaker 4: You do, we'll take some make sure you're irony.
Speaker 1: Do you have a cast iron pan? Start making your
eggs in that. You'll be fine.
Speaker 8: I'll be fine.
Speaker 4: Do you hike a lot?
Speaker 1: It's a fair question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great question. Okay, we'll talk.
Speaker 4: I know, I love hiking. I take a hiking vacation
every year, and so I actually went hiking to the
Grand Canyon three years ago and I did seven miles
and it was a heat index of one oh seven
that day. They were standing at the top saying, do
not hike, do not hike, like you really.
Speaker 2: Should not go more time.
Speaker 4: I want to say we were there at like eight am,
because we had it's.
Speaker 1: Not the hottest part of the day.
Speaker 4: But no, I think it was later than that because
we had stayed in Phoenix that night, then drove up
we hiked that day, and then we ended up staying
in Flagstaff that night. But it was deadly, Like the
girl I was hiking with was in tears on the
way back. This is all motivated, like I mean, I
was like, no, we're doing it like it.
Speaker 1: Was on a second. They're doing this for a great cause.
Speaker 2: Have you haven't even gotten too that amazing guys, this
is gonna suck.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be.
Speaker 4: Awesome because it was just like the most breathtaking views
and everything. I mean, it was wild.
Speaker 2: You're not taking a burrow, No, they have them their
husbands at home literally because worse comes to worst, you
can cut them open and climb inside. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: The uh so this is for mellow blastoma correct brain cancer? Yes?
And do you is there a person you're doing this for?
Speaker 8: I think I was at this point.
Speaker 7: I would say there's people people you're doing it for.
Speaker 1: Okay, because one.
Speaker 8: Of the most amazing things I think about this has
been well for me. I've been always really hesitant to
talk about the you know, fun with the fundraising aspect
of it. But one other thing that's been really encouraged,
and really, I don't know, in some ways kind of
sad is to hear how many people are affected by
brain cancer and you don't even talk about it or
you don't even realize it either're in your life and
you don't know.
Speaker 2: And a lot of people don't even know they have
it until it's too late.
Speaker 8: Oh I thought you were saying, yeah, oh, what did
you think it was?
Speaker 7: I didn't a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, But okay, So you guys are raising money
to do this, right, you're trying to try to and
the goal is three grand yes, okay? And it looked
like from when I saw you're all, you're halfway there.
Speaker 5: What's thousand?
Speaker 7: Dollars per person.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I think I only saw one of the things.
So how do people then donate?
Speaker 8: Because there's a each of us, everybody participating has a link,
has a link. How do we find right to the organization?
Speaker 1: How do we find your link? And do we find
cautious link? Do we know?
Speaker 8: We have to probably send it to?
Speaker 1: All right, send it you should? But are you putting
on your social media?
Speaker 5: I don't have any.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know somehow are you okay?
Speaker 1: All right? Well, no, that's fine.
Speaker 2: Does your mom like that work? Have like a sign
up girl cookies?
Speaker 5: Flyers? Okay, you would have flyers?
Speaker 7: You know what you need to do in the window?
Speaker 1: Scan this you need to get Yeah, you can get
a scan code. We have one right now the car,
the QR code and then oh they do okay, So
all right, because I would love for listeners to be
able to donate. And I'm sure somebody knows is touched
by brain cancer, you know, in their lives with with
some loved one, and this is a great thing. How
did you find out about it?
Speaker 5: That's all you? Jenny?
Speaker 8: Well, so I found out about it from my friend Jenna,
whose sister in law Lynn is the one that actually
found the organization. Her father passed.
Speaker 1: She founded the organization. Found found it, Okay, gotcha.
Speaker 8: So she came upon the organization her father passed of
brain cancer, and then she had asked Jenna, her sister
in La, to do the hike with her, and then
Jenna had mentioned the hike too.
Speaker 1: So this is the greatest marketing you can get word
of mouth exactly.
Speaker 8: That's the whole point. Because you had said it before.
It's underfunded and it is not as much of awareness
for it it really deserves because it affects so many
people's lives. It's such a devastating disease. So I mean,
as much as we're looking for, you know, to help
the organization with fundraising, we're also looking for awareness. That
doesn't help. Probably they should review their people that are
doing it because passion I don't do social media.
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by the fact that you both don't do
social media. I think that's brilliant. I'm somewhat envious brilliance.
Were you on and got turned off enough that you're like,
I can't do this.
Speaker 8: I have an addictive personality. I know I can have
an addictive personality. So if I was to start, it
would just lead me down a rabbit hole of wanting
to know more and consume more, and I'd.
Speaker 1: Probably really self aware. Yeah, that's very self aware.
Speaker 8: I just don't do that, okay, Yeah, no, I just
don't do it.
Speaker 1: You never got into it for you.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 5: I have Instagram, but that's as far as I go.
I try to get on Facebook. It's just too much.
Speaker 1: Facebook too much. Yeah, Facebook is too much.
Speaker 2: I ditched mine. It was awful.
Speaker 5: There's too much politics. There's too much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just especially when your mom's on it.
Speaker 4: Well I say, like, I don't I don't really go
on Facebook. I post on Facebook because it's linked through
my Instagram. So if I post on Instagram, it goes
to my Facebook. But I don't really care about Facebook,
like or.
Speaker 2: Like the trends deck like the Yeah, it's like a
trends decking. In other words, you have like one, you know,
and then it goes out to all your social media.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean sure. But like even with my business,
if I post anything on my business page on Instagram,
it goes right to my this page on Facebook.
Speaker 1: So that makes it easier. Yeah, it does make it easier.
Speaker 5: I mean and that retrospect. It's amazing. Right, advertising purposes,
it's it's great, which that's kind of what we lack
right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the advertising purpose, That's what I'm saying, Like,
it would be great to be able to get you
guys some dollars absolutely for people to do that.
Speaker 8: And to be clear, it's not for us.
Speaker 1: No, I know, it's not. No, it's just for the Yeah,
but I mean it's a it's a great thing that
you're doing and kind of cool that you get to
go to this beautiful spot and and go through something
that will probably have lots of highs and lows throughout
this hike, I would assume exactly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely going to be an experience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how many people are doing this with you?
Speaker 1: Just the two of you are, no, Well, with.
Speaker 8: Us, there's a group of eight of us.
Speaker 5: I believe there's eight of us from like Fairport area.
So it's all moms and tucsons that are doing it.
And I think it's going to be it's going to
be great. It's going to be really really good. I
did a little bit of advertising for myself weekend when
I went around the bars, oh yeah, bar golf through Fairport.
So we I raised some money. I raised fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: We did bar golf through Fairport.
Speaker 7: Yes, and it was what is bar golf? You just go.
Speaker 5: It's supposed to resemble golf, go from bar to bar,
and it's supposed to be each hole, each bar as
a whole. So we did nine. Of course we ended
up a mcconnoy's.
Speaker 1: Life. I never heard you never remember me, but yeah.
Speaker 5: I raised about fifteen hundred dollars just doing good.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 4: Go around this weekend in Fairport when everyone is drunk,
like at music Best and just like print off a
sweatshirt with your QR coach, just having Santa guarantee you
will end up with money because people won't know what
there is.
Speaker 5: Especially if you run into Bell it's like.
Speaker 2: Trick or treating for you and a stuff. It's like barrel.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm been.
Speaker 1: Trying to say that I wasn't going to go to Fairport.
I was trying to avoid it because every year, because
you're so aware, you know, personality, I I get with alcohol.
I can't stop at some points, you know, and I
really can't. And I I think it was last music fest.
I was sitting on a bench, just like wait for
an uber, Yeah, just like drunk sweaty.
Speaker 4: I stopped a fight last year between a husband and
a wife. A husband was going at his wife, like
screaming in her face.
Speaker 5: I like got between them.
Speaker 2: I'm used to the other way around.
Speaker 4: Well, I know you would think put this guy's asshole.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: Are you doing other things while you are out in
Grand Canyon?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: No, where are you flying into.
Speaker 5: Like a little IVY blast? Yeah, maybe an IVY blast.
We're flying into a Phoenix yep. Okay, on Saturday, so
it's like a it's like a four day pross, right,
So we get there on Saturday morning or afternoon. We'll
flying to Phoenix. We spend the night over there. Then
the next day we just get in a van, yeah,
and we drive over to the canyon and spend the
night over there. We meet with the entire group, have
a dinner, car bload up yeah yeah, yeah, a couple
of shots of whiskey so we can post sleep, and
then Monday morning we wake up at four am their time,
which is not going to be so bad.
Speaker 1: It's seven here, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like about six o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, alright, work on daylight savings. Arizona doesn't switch. I
don't think no. I think they stay one time on
your Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, so we just once again get in
a van and get dropped off. We don't get in
a van at that point. We're walking. Oh we are okay, Well,
whatever it is, we're going to be doing a lot
of walking that day.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So it's it's going to be interesting. But I'm excited. Yeah,
it was so beautiful.
Speaker 1: Do they suggest things like the right socks, Like you
want wool, so wix away, the sweat boots to wear.
Speaker 5: Baby got two pairs of shoes, and it's like, yeah,
I'm done spending money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right right. You want wolf socks not cotton, Yeah,
because it pulls the moisture away. If you're hiking and stuff,
especially in the winter, if you're gonna like cross country
ski or ski, you usually want wolf socks. All right.
Speaker 5: I didn't know that either.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pulls the socks.
Speaker 2: Learn that for the bills.
Speaker 1: The cotton cotton just holds it in and that's where
you can get in this.
Speaker 2: You know, we'll take that.
Speaker 1: Haynes, God forbid foot fungus.
Speaker 2: You don't want that.
Speaker 1: You don'tant.
Speaker 5: We're definitely gonna lose some toenails, but you know we'll
worry about that.
Speaker 2: No, Like, make sure all of a sudden you do
commercials for those tool funguses. Yes, exactly, like the Grand Canyon.
Speaker 5: No, I got it's gonna be it's gonna be a
good time. We really have a good, great group of ladies.
Speaker 4: And you're not gonna lose toenails.
Speaker 5: We'll be fine.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know, you gain some friends now.
Speaker 8: One of the women on the hike, Lynn, she just
did the She did a hike at Let's Worth twenty miles.
She lost the toenails. She couldn't even be She tried
to go for a walk a week later, like a
stroller walk with the kids form and she couldn't.

Speaker 1: Remember I like this, So I take my whiskey need Wow,
this is interesting. That's me. I drink my coffee black,
I drink my whiskey meat, and I usually don't get
bed until like three o'clock in the morning. So far,
so good.
Speaker 5: Is that gonna change for you?
Speaker 1: Yeah? They are? You know that's all right. I actually
do go to bed pretty early if I can, if
I can, and if I can wrap it up early
for you, what's that?
Speaker 8: What's early for you?
Speaker 1: Early would be if I can get to bed by ten,
that's early for me, you know. But if I that's
usually early.
Speaker 5: Are you guys? Do you stay up late?
Speaker 4: You said, Oh god, do you really ten?
Speaker 8: Is the time I'm just getting my kids to bed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh okay time. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Oh they're your kids.
Speaker 8: Well he'll be thirteen, okay.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, yeah, but that's normal. But yeah, so
then you're what do you do stay up after that
till like midnight? Yeah, and then what time you get up? Five?
Speaker 8: I'm a late riser sometimes.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's nice, that's good. If you can't, what's late
We'll wait a second, though. If you got the kids,
you're probably up by seven.
Speaker 8: Well during the school year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, six thirty. Yeah, so
you're running on like six and a half hours of sleep.
When I was in radio, I was getting like five. Yeah,
I know it was. It was tough.
Speaker 2: It takes years off your life.
Speaker 5: I am suck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably probably I can. If I if I can.
Speaker 4: Sleep at six and a half hours, I'm like ten
to six.
Speaker 8: Like when you say six and a half hours, I
don't think I'm a six a half hour type of person.
I consider myself an eight hour girl.
Speaker 4: Yeah, me too, to take naps sharing the day.
Speaker 7: I'm not any hour girl.
Speaker 1: You may not be. You've been You've been underestimating yourself.
You're more powerful than you even know, right, Yeah, look
at that. That's yes, I see it's all that, all
that stuff and sleep, because I'll tell you like, sleep
is a sleep deprivation sucks. I used to get headaches.
I fell asleep at a traffic light. Yeah, yeah, kids
in the car. I fell asleep.
Speaker 2: I fell asleep in a Doughnuts drive through, got to
give the order, kept driving. Another time I drove through
a car wash with the windows down shut slash, shut splash.
Well no, because not not that.
Speaker 1: I was asleep and I was in a fog, and
I got you.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. So what I once asked
the professor in midsummer? I go, how's class going? Damn
it's July. I go, oh, yeah, because because your brain
your brains fogged.
Speaker 4: Well that might just be you, but couldn't the regular
Basis coffee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was like in the line, like said, there
the line, and I got the window up. They're they're
yelling at me. And then I keep going, I'm realized,
oh my gosh, I forgot to give my order at
the dunk of doughnuts on a Saturday. It's all screwed up.
I once the worst though, was driving through the car
wash with the wood though, but I don't sleep deprivation.
This hasn't happened in ten years.
Speaker 8: Yeah, what point did you wake up? Were the spinners on?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No, it was like it was adulta sonic, So you
got the first steps where they like you know. So
I was like, oh, I came to my senses.
Speaker 1: I realized that the monster slapped you through the thing. Yeah.
I always wanted to get something called there There was
a drug I called pro vigil and pro vigils for
people with narcolepsy, and you could And I remember seeing
somebody on sixty minutes and was a professional guy, and
I think he had his own business and young kids
and stuff, and he's like, I'll stay up for twenty
four hours because I don't get tired with pro vigil.
It was like it's a new tropic and it keeps
your brain going and stuff.
Speaker 2: It's almost like bipolar disorder too.
Speaker 1: I was like really thinking, like ooh, I want to
get this. So I convinced my doctor to write me
a script thousand dollars a month, no insurance either. Yeah,
they wouldn't take insurance or something because I didn't have
a diagnosed reason for it, that's why. But it's always
like one thousand dollars a month. But I thought it
sounded great. And then when they did this, they said
to the guy, we don't know the long term effects
of this drug. You know. He goes, I don't care.
I want to live now and I don't want to
miss a thing with my kids or anything. And I
have this big job and I've got you know that,
And so that's the thing. But man, you're right. I
was sleep deprivate, and since doing the podcast, I've certainly
gotten better sleep. But I think I wake up just
naturally after five six hours now and I'll usually stretch out.
Speaker 5: Though I was sleeping ten hours last week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would need and stuff.
Speaker 4: I was still taking naps here in the day.
Speaker 8: I was so fucking out of it.
Speaker 2: You could take a nap. You'll change your all cause
mortality by.
Speaker 4: Forty just had ovarian surgery.
Speaker 1: But the U Yeah, I think last night I didn't
get to bed to like quarter to one, and then
I woke up at six thirty and I decided I
should just get up, So I got up, and then
I went for a walk three miles about two and
a half miles today. Yeah, just I needed to get steps.
Speaker 4: He's training for for life, training for next year.
Speaker 1: All right, some things I was thinking about things that
have been explained to me many many times, and I
just can't really wrap my head around them. And the
number one thing for me is crypto in the mining
and the you know what, I'm saying that all these
computers and people getting so upset because they're heating the
lakes by putting the hot water back in that are
supposed to cool the computers, and other aspects of digital
currency that has no real backing. And I remember the
sirash who owns the comedy club, was saying to me,
you should be buying crypto, and you got to get
into this, and you got to get in. And then
all of a sudden, it seemed like crypto just went poof.
And I'm going, I don't get it. He had his
kids putting excuse me, fifteen dollars a week into crypto.
This guy, he's a dentist and he owns a bunch
of real estate and properties. He's in think tanks locally,
So I'm going, okay, this is somebody's said. I still
don't understand it. I don't get it.
Speaker 2: It's like I don't get the crypto.
Speaker 1: I don't get when I go to the ATM and
they say they take crypto, I go, I.
Speaker 7: Don't what it takes crypto.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's like bit mind you'll see it on
certain ATMs.
Speaker 2: Crypto Basically it's like investing in a stock, right, if
you look at it like a stock. The problem is
not centrally regulated. Right, So in other words, if it
goes but there's people, there's nothing, it's all on speculation.
It's all on speculation right now. Like like the crypto
in the last five years has gone from like thirty
grand per one bitcoin to sixty five grand, yeah, back
down to eighteen grand to fifty grand to thirty six.
Speaker 1: I don't say nod in your head? Do you know
about crypto?
Speaker 8: Only just a little bit?
Speaker 1: A little bit you do do? Like I can't wrap
my head around it, Like do you understand what I'm saying?
Speaker 5: Like no, I don't. Okay, we were mining in our basement,
you were, Oh, yeah.
Speaker 4: What the hell does mining mean?
Speaker 5: You just buy these computers and they're in your basement
and I produce heat and we didn't have to like
turn the heat on in a house in a water
time because it was so fucking hot. Really, Oh my god, Yeah,
it's my talk to my husband.
Speaker 1: Did you make a lot of money doing this? I don't.
I don't mean to pry, and I'm sorry, but did
you make Was it profitable? Let's put it that way,
let's keep it this generic.
Speaker 7: It was profitable absolutely.
Speaker 5: If you have the balls, Yeah, well that's the thing.
Speaker 1: Don't then, but I guess my I'd like to think
I have those balls, like I like to think I
have those There are something like there's not a lot
I won't do. But if I don't fully understand it,
and then I go, am I too dumb? Am? I
just don't. I didn't think I was a dumb ber.
Speaker 2: I think you're too smart to actually because there is
risk of all. Like Warren Buffett says, Look, if I
buy property, I have the property to show for it. Yeah,
you invest in bitcoin, right, but what's there to show
for it?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 2: Like mining for bitcoins? Like guessing for okay, we got
a number in our head between zero and ten billion
eighty six. Nope, try again, that's what the mining is?
Speaker 1: Is it really? Yes? You can't get no, it is
it is for now, right, on speculations, right, it's all.
Speaker 2: Spec in other words, like it could drop tomorrow. People
are saying, well the government, okay, what's going to happen
is fiat currency like the dollar and others are going
to crash. That's why bitcoin, because bitcoin will last and
you get your through this blockchain. But here's the thing.
You could sign in to your blockchain up to ten
times if you have like let's say a billion dollars
in bitcoin, or even a thousand dollars in bitcoin and
talking ship.
Speaker 5: He honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 1: If you sell, you.
Speaker 2: Hold on. If you sign into the blockchain and you
get it wrong ten different times, you're now out. You
lose that money, it goes to anybody else. Oh, by
the way, they could kick you out of the blockchain
at any time, no questions asked. Because I've watched people talk.
Speaker 1: About all right now, I haven't remember.
Speaker 2: When doge coin was a bit starts talking about doge coin.
I'm like, okay, okay, no, no, no, I can't be
because everybody jumped on and it was worth nothing.
Speaker 4: Bitcoin and doge coin and what.
Speaker 2: There's there's a Jesus coin. There's all kinds of coins. Yeah, yeah,
it's like investing in Tesla versus investing in Netflix is
investing in.
Speaker 1: Uh speculation as to what which one's going to do.
So bitcoin became the popular.
Speaker 8: Bitcoin, like the original January twenty twenty sixth just January
this year, it was worth forty two thousand dollars a coin,
one bitcoin one bit today so today it's worth sixty
one thousand.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's a nice increase.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's constantly fluctionating. So if you buy it the
right time, right and right now, I mean, if you're
not playing the long game of holding on to and
you buy it the right time, give be worth some money.
Speaker 1: It could be. It could be do you find people,
Kasha who buy then when you're bit like, if you're
mining it, I assume then you sell it.
Speaker 5: So we don't anymore. We could, like I think the
beginning of this year, at some point they.
Speaker 1: Started to try to regulate it. Please tell me they did.
So they did, and that Fox everything.
Speaker 5: Entire units and all of that. So we like we
have to stop doing Yeah, I don't know. My house
was heated for free.
Speaker 2: So when black Rocks get involved in it, now, Vanguard's
getting well because they want to take.
Speaker 7: Control of it, right, it's just like anything else.
Speaker 2: The guy who runs it, nobody knows who he is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no, but I don't know. It was like
just mind blowing. I don't even know how to explain it.
Speaker 1: What is it? Do you or your husband work in finance?
Speaker 5: No? No, no, my husband is a computer.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, so computer like you understands.
Speaker 5: And he like I think he just My dad was
doing it too, and his parents their entire basement was
filled with.
Speaker 4: Really Oh yeah, why I so yeah to do it.
Speaker 1: It's the mining. And that's the part again you're asking me,
I already said to you, and I don't mean to
be rude, Jenny. I can't wrap my head around.
Speaker 2: I remember I remember like hearing about somebody. I don't
know how true this was, but you know how like
what r G and he sees that someone's electric bill
is through the roof. They think they're growing pot plants
and stuff anymore? Okay, now they so somebody got back here.
But it's like in Kentucky the cops showed up with
a warrant thinking they were selling Oh no, we have
a bitcoin. We're looking for bitcoin.
Speaker 7: How many computers did it take cash arms.
Speaker 5: So I think in army basement alone, I think we had.
Speaker 1: Six six computers. Yes, yeah, then my in life get
right on that microphone, put it right, but yeah, there
you go.
Speaker 5: And then my endless probably had around twenty in their basement. Yeah,
and then my dad had about five.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: It's like it was just like a little hobby for us.
Nothing more than that about with twenty computers, huh, a
little hobby. Yeah, No, it was a little hobby. I
mean my husband was very invested in yah. But at
the end of the day, like you bought the machines,
we probably spent about twenty thirty thousand dollars on all
of these machines, and then one day somebody says, you
know what, they're not worth anything anymore.
Speaker 2: So it's like trying to win the lottery over and
over and over and over and over.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But when you hit man, that feels good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely right.
Speaker 5: I mean, like with mining, it was constant money, right,
Like it's constantly like because mining what it is, it's
when people trade their bitcoins, like it needs to go
through something.
Speaker 2: Right, yes, the blockchain.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you take a percentage of that.
Speaker 2: So every transaction is documented through the blockchain.
Speaker 1: Gotcha.
Speaker 2: That's the other thing. That's that's why the government wants
to get involved with what they called seabawll. I won't
say CBT this night. The government wants to get involved
in it because now they could track everything you do.
Speaker 1: Of course, A right, Kasha, Can I ask a question?
All right?
Speaker 2: I know it's I think. I think I know what
he's gonna ask go for. Where are you from?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Because I detected We're going to detecting New Jersey. I'm
trying to go where Jersey.
Speaker 1: I go, Oh, that's Alabama, New Jersey.
Speaker 7: I'm thinking like west side.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm going like Eastern European and some Yeah.
Speaker 5: That's where I was born and raised in Poland. I
moved here when I was sixteen.
Speaker 2: Ah, you must know a lot of people in Buffalo then, huh,
I'm totally joker.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, Poland. I here is a beautiful country.
Speaker 5: It's fun.
Speaker 1: I really do here.
Speaker 5: That's really really a lot of vodka, a lot of walking,
and honestly, like that's probably like what uh got me
to do this walk because I used to walk everywhere
like we didn't like not everybody was able to afford
a car. Gas was very expensive, and I remember walking
to school. You know, it was like a five mile
walk and we had to hike and that was it. Like, yes,
if you can for.
Speaker 2: Real, she is the story our grandparents told us that
we walked to school.
Speaker 4: Uh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And like when Jenny told me, like we got to walk,
you know, twenty plus miles, I'm like, let's fucking do it.
I mean, like we have a whole day to do it,
but why not do it?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: I used to have to like run late for class
with a backdeck on my bag and yeah, miss the bush.
Speaker 2: So Bill and I went to Saint John Fisher. We
had a professor named doctor Veskowsky. He was the he
was America's leading Polish expert because his parents were from Poland.
He said, the city of Warsaw because of all the
wars is actually because of all the rubble. They just
built over the rubble. It's actually ten feet higher than
it originally was. Is that true?
Speaker 5: Probably? I've never been.
Speaker 1: Okay, where in Poland?
Speaker 7: Were you by the sea?
Speaker 5: Small town by the sea, like.
Speaker 1: Dying, Yeah, that's going to be beautiful.
Speaker 5: It's yes, it's the last time I was there was
about five years ago and my grandfather passed away, and
it's it's totally different now, it's it's a lot of
old a lot of old old buildings.
Speaker 7: A lot of modern a mix.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's it's beautiful.
Speaker 1: And they do it. They do it like zoning being
a thing where we try to keep a uniform. Look,
you know what I'm saying. So it doesn't look like Houston,
the city of Houston, where I've got big building, shitty building,
no zoning like it. It sounds fighting ring oil. Now
did you ever hear Polish jokes? People always did post
I'm not gonna do it.
Speaker 2: So the Polist guy, an Italian guy in the Russia,
Go all.
Speaker 5: Right, I'll tell you a joke on Polish. My husband
is Ukrainian, so we called our kids Pukies.
Speaker 1: Oh Polish. Right? Is he from Ukraine?
Speaker 5: So his parents were Storry Yeah, long generation. They were
both from Ukraine, but they were born in the camps
in Germany. And then it's a it's a it's a
topic for.
Speaker 7: Another really show. Really their story is.
Speaker 1: So are they Jewish?
Speaker 5: No? No, just I think Catholic.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm going to ask if your Orthodox or Catholic.
Speaker 5: I think his mom was Orthodox, his dad was Catholic.
But it's it's such an incredible story. So his dad
was born my husband's dad, Walter, I love him very dearly,
still alive, still with us, born in Germany in this hospital,
at part of this camp. And then his mom was
born in the same hospital, same act camp, like yes, yes,
like it was part of like concentrations.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: And then and they both both families actually ended up
trying after the war run away from the Germany. So
they were trying to come to us, but there wasn't
like enough space, so they ended up going to Karakas, Venezuela. Okay,
they both ended up somehow that both families ended up
you know, in the same you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 5: And then his mom ended up going to Chicago and
his dad ended up going to Utica. And when they
were sixteen, they both met and fell in love.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: And it's just it's just I don't know, it's just
such a beautiful and touching story. Yeah, sure, yeah, you
know what they tell talk about it. It's it's very touching.
Speaker 1: Do you follow does he follow the war and what's
happening in Ukraine? And I know, for a while I
thought Poland was opening up borders to help, you know, alleviate,
let people come in and get out of there, it
certainly seems like I don't know that we know enough.
You know, that whole part of the world, the Eastern Bloc,
has always been and such change and such ethnicities in
Yugoslavia was a country and now it's not. And you're
trying to put two groups together of people that, you know,
just it's terrible that we think that we can just
throw people together like that. But I'm watching as I'm
reading stuff, and I hear it looked like Russia was
kind of on a march to try to take over
the world, and there were other countries that fell first
before and Ukraine was the first to stand up. These
other countries are so small that they didn't have the power,
and they had been part of the USSR, and then
when that went down, they became sort of sovereign nations.
And I think the new leadership said I want you back.
And I think Ukraine is, I mean, certainly trying to fight.
I think there were drone strikes over Moscow that they're
playing in the Ukrainians. I have no idea, but it
just looks, it looks tough.
Speaker 5: I know, I know pauland opened their doors off for
a lot of refugee because they don't really take any refugee.
Speaker 1: But you're bordering right there. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5: They did take a lot of people in and they
offered services and work and housing and all of that.
In regards to the war, I mean, I don't follow
because it's just it all depends what you read and
what you do. I know, if you read a lot
of my dad reads a lot of Polish news, and
it's just totally different.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it is because I don't think we get
a very clear view of things or maybe fully understand
what goes on. But I know the Polish Navy was
involved with They had screen doors and what I didnt
have to slide in It didn't work. I tried.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, have you ever heard of or
celebrate Dingas Day?
Speaker 5: Absolutely? It's my favorite?
Speaker 2: Hellit Okay, It's funny because in Buffalo they love it.
In Chicago they've never heard of it.
Speaker 5: It's so the thing is stay that I grew up
with totally different than here in Buffalo. Like what you have.
Speaker 2: Buffalo, They're always going to screw it up. Yeah, you
got a bunch of gronks over there.
Speaker 5: So Dinga's Day happened on Monday after Easter and it
was a It's a huge memory for me because so
it's still considered a holiday, so we all had a
day off, right. It was a religious holiday, and the
best part about it was that you would go to
church with buckets of water, right, because it's like the
buckets of water like represent the you know, washing of
your sins and all of that. And you know, people
were chasing each other in the streets. It's a hold,
right because it's the beginning of April usually or like
end of March, and it's freezing and you know, priests
are running around with buckets of water chasing kids. It
was it was amazing. Like that's probably like one of
my favorite memories as a child was Dinga's Day. It's
totally pussy. Yeah yeah there so I that's I think
from like more of south of Poland. Yeah, there you go.
I think it's like represent something I think if a girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah girl, like a boy, yes them with city it's
like City Hawkin's Day.
Speaker 1: But for Polish, is there anything more Polish? No?
Speaker 5: But it was my favorite holiday, Like it was just amazing,
it was great. It's just it's not the same anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how how many languages do you speak? Just too?
Did you speak English before you came?
Speaker 5: I did not.
Speaker 1: You did not so all that while here your parents
speak English.
Speaker 5: Now they do?
Speaker 1: Now they do.
Speaker 5: My dad after a couple a couple of drinks, you
speak perfect English.
Speaker 1: That's funny. I mean, I think to me, and I
don't know anything from anything, but I think that one
of the greatest things you can do for your mind
is learn another language. So hard, I would think it
has to be. And I think when you're not learning it,
you know, it's so easy when you're young. Yeah, like
you know, but you came at sixteen and you did
and then you go to public school.
Speaker 5: Here, I went to spend support. You did great school,
Greade school. But you know, kids are just me very nice.
And that's before social media. Sure, so they're just like
just pure. Yeah, but I think I think we all
are at some point, right, Well, it's a hard age.
Sixteen is a hard age.
Speaker 1: And you're different because oh my god.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and like you know, in Poland, like you go
to Europe, everybody dresses up right, you go out to
get groceries, you're wearing high heels, like there's no other
way around it, Like people.
Speaker 2: Dress up pajamas.
Speaker 7: No, I was.
Speaker 5: I was actually just talking to somebody the other day
and I was reminiscing, and I remember getting on the
bus for the first time in my life school bus, right,
like this is something that we saw in the movie's
And I get on a bus and I'm so happy
because we just moved to the United States of America.
And I'm thinking, like, just imagine, close your eyes in
New York City, right sure, And I'm driving on the
bus to spend support, and all I can see is
fucking farms. I look over at my brother and I'm like,
where the fuck did we just moved? What where are we?
Speaker 2: So you know how to swear at an early age?
Speaker 5: Oh yes, I looked at him and I'm like, what
is happening right now? Like what is going? Like where's
the high buildings?
Speaker 1: All that?
Speaker 5: Right? And it was just it was but no Spencer
board was great. It was a lot of really really
good teachers and counselors and all of that, and just
you know, school. I think high school is tough for anybody.
Speaker 1: It is, but I mean, especially when you're coming into
a whole new culture.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so imagine wearing high heel's first day of school
and the girls staring at you. I was, oh, my god,
reject from.
Speaker 1: That from the girls, but the guys probably.
Speaker 5: Oh the guys.
Speaker 7: There was a line of yeah right.
Speaker 5: It was like a little in the sent me and
I'm like, I don't speak English, yeah, but it was
it was a good time.
Speaker 1: I'm and how they do English as a second sister
has a doctorate in linguistics and she'll often teach English
as a second language, and I don't think she speaks
any other language, but she did it over in Asian
and places like that. It's uh, did you have tutors
and things that would help through the public school?
Speaker 5: So I had a teacher?
Speaker 1: Or was an MTV? That really kind of you know
what I mean? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 5: The TV was probably like the best thing I remember. So,
like the entire summer, the first summer that we moved here,
it was me and my brother would sit on a
couch and because we didn't have any friends, we didn't
you know, we didn't know, So we would sit there
and we will watch was it like nine am? Was
like Jerry Springer and that was our mornings, right, Like
we would sit on a couch and that's what we
will and that's where we like learned.
Speaker 10: First words were Jerry like that friend, this is mare Coy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Wow, No, land of opportunity. You can be a father
of multiple you know. No, but no, that's that's what
it was. And uh it's I mean, I'm still grateful
that my parents moved here. Sure, I still go back
and things are so different over there than you know,
than they were when I when I when we moved here.
But I would do it again.
Speaker 1: You would do it, Oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So that's why when Jenny was like, come and join
me on this walk, and I'm like, let's go and
do it, because I just I think I have it
in me. Like if my husband today, yeah, like let's go.
But no, if my husband was like, let's go and
move to Florida, I'm like, my bags have been packed,
let's go.
Speaker 1: You just because it's all the poland you have freedom, yeah,
and freedom of press and everything. I believe right there's yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean things are changing everywhere, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, getting stricter, tighter.
Speaker 5: I don't really know because I don't follow I can.
I don't want to give false information. I think things
are things are changing everywhere. I mean, you know you're
in a media Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well I think that we're independent, right, so we get
to say whatever we want. I think now, I don't
know that there's I do believe in America we still
have freedom of press. I think what people mistake is
we don't have to support things we don't like. If
it's if somebody is paying dollars, if all of a sudden,
tiede says I don't I'm not supporting this whatever it is,
and millions of dollars walk out the door. Well you're
not worth my time, And so we push somebody out
that may be on a media channel, but we're not.
You got to think it through. You still have the
right to say it. Yeah, but somebody has the right
to not support it. And I think that's where we
get confused. I think in this country on what is
freedom of speech and what's not. But I got I
find that So I find it fascinating. I had friends
because you know, in Europe, if you want to go
to a desert, you got to speak another language. But
here you're going to a desert, the Grand Canyon and
you gets speaking Elish. You know we're so big? Yeah,
I mean I think I think a lot of Americans
take for granted how big, how enormous this country is
like that in size.
Speaker 5: Like to me, like Poland is it takes you eight
hours too.
Speaker 1: Or maybe twelve to get from one side of the other.
Speaker 5: Yeah, depending how fast you go. Right, So that's that.
That's how big Poland is. So like it's just the sizes.
Speaker 1: What is it? Because I'm trying to think, like I
love cars, and I love imported cars. I'm a big
fan of like the German stuff. I can't Poland No
what car? No car? Then I can think it ever
came from Poland.
Speaker 5: We used to make Fiat.
Speaker 7: Oh you did, yeah back in the day.
Speaker 5: But ah, I remember we.
Speaker 1: Had cars, yes you go no, well the Youugo is
you Slavia? Right? But but Fiat was one yeah I
back in the day. Yeah. I was just I don't
know why that popped into my head because I was thinking,
like Germany had portion Mercedes. You know those are all
German cars. You go to Italy cars to I love
the imports, yes, Audi, so I love the Audi Ra
to me, is one of the greatest machines on the road.
It's the closest thing I think you'll get to a
race car that's street legal.
Speaker 5: Like my dream is to go through Germany and.
Speaker 1: Yeah to the autumn. Yes, I hear more than twelve
people a year either, good day. All right, we'll take
a moment, and I have another thing that I can't

It was an open casting that where I was. But
I was so excited.
Speaker 1: And were you in college at the time.
Speaker 8: I think I was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking that was about the age, right, And
what did your family think of you trying out? Did
you tell them?
Speaker 8: No? It was a very imprompting thing. It was like
it was like a cattle at the right time, right,
And I was like, obviously I'm going to try out.
Speaker 5: Where did you go to college.
Speaker 1: So I did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I grew up in Silver Creek. Oh my gosh,
what ever been at Milly's That was my uncle's restaurant.
Speaker 5: Ever been to Sonny's?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Who?
Speaker 2: When I was sixteen?
Speaker 1: What did you What did you have to do for
the Real World trial? Did you get further in?
Speaker 5: I didn't?
Speaker 8: Okay, they just did an initial interview.
Speaker 1: Okay, was it on your campus?
Speaker 8: It was like a It was in an big RV,
like a mobile vehicle that was just driving around to
different cities and you walk into it and you sit down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, camera, that was cool.
Speaker 5: It was It was cool.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I didn't have enough time to pre plan
it and kind of have an interesting or exciting interview.
Speaker 7: Oh, it just seemed to.
Speaker 1: Normal that that is kind of well, look at that
MTV Real World and and gosh Ika met you years
later and go, I saw you on the room. That
was like amazing. But even there, so you didn't it
had to be mostly spoken in English or did they
put subtitles in Polish?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 5: No, so I it was mostly so.
Speaker 7: We didn't have cable right, Yeah, I didn't either.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I remember the only thing that we used
to watch we would run over to my grandparents' house
in the mornings on like Saturday mornings goes at eleven am.
There was a Disney channel for okay, thirty minutes, so
we like out me as a kid, you know, like
six seven years old, that's your thirty minutes a week
of like American cartoon. So we would run over and
we would watch that.
Speaker 1: But it was just when you came, when you came
to the United States, did you ever make it to
Disneyland or Disney World?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: No, did you have any desire to go? No? No,
I will tell you, like it almost becomes the mecca
in the United States. And my brother was an economic forecaster,
so he worked for Disney and we would I would
take my kids down because it's so expensive, but it's
the world of plastic. Might as well get to the
Grand Canyon or go see the Rockies or you know
what I'm saying, like get out.
Speaker 8: It's like in a world of tears. Who's not crying
sweating like Disney they look around and really see their faces.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 4: It's a lot of standing in line.
Speaker 5: It's a lot. Now, me and my husband went to
Orlando for like a quick getaway this dis may and
and I asked Jenny. I was like, Jenny, where do
we go? Like, you know, like I've never been to Orlando.
Speaker 7: Old Orlando is kind of cool, so she recommended.
Speaker 5: Where did you say that? What I thought?
Speaker 8: Like the Disney Springs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we went over there, you know all the city
walk and stuff.
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, that's that is kind of It was fucking torture.
Speaker 5: I looked at I looked at my husband. I'm like,
we are never bringing your kids. I'm never sitting in the.
Speaker 7: Yeah, never doing this again.
Speaker 1: My brother lived in Orlando. We would go to I
think it was called Old Orlando or like the original.
It's a city, I thought it even I thought I
had buildings from fifteen hundred.
Speaker 2: Is that my church street station?
Speaker 1: I don't remember. But it was charming, like nice walk streets,
cobblestone streets, really great outdoor cafes and bars. And I
like that way more than I like, Yeah, that's like
what we like.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, like I want to sit down, I want
to have a nice old fashion yeah, and I want
to just you know, people watch. And that was crazy.
Speaker 4: I went to an awesome sports bar Inland.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have some good yeah, Yeah, they have some
good sports bars.
Speaker 2: Their landlocked, so they have to come up with a
lot of tourist attractions. That was the idea behind it.
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought it was I wish I could remember
the name of it. I thought it was Old Orlando.
We kept because I remember like.
Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety we went to Orlando for several days
and we went to Disney Disney World and it was
so hot. My uncle has a VHS stap. We've watched it,
we've laughed about over the years. We were all running
to the van, not walking, running and he goes, here,
they are my nieces and nephews and my kids running
away from Mickey Mouse. And it's true. And so the
next day we went to like a place where like
like it may have been Old Orlando. There was like
a scene of Marilyn Monroe Annequin of her over this
over this thing where she's pushing her skirt down. So
I don't know if it's the same area. They were
selling Confederate money and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: That sounds more touristy than this. This is sort of
like I'd have to ask my brother. But when you
come from another country and when we look at I'm
thinking of countries like Spain, for example. I don't know
what Poland's like, but they spent some time Spain. That
city shuts down at two o'clock in the afternoon, Like.
Speaker 5: Oh no, we don't. It's the same temperature as here,
like Rochester.
Speaker 1: So no, no, yeah, yeah, like people stop and then
all of a sudden, yeah exactly, and then everything comes
back alive around seven o'clock in the evening and dinner
goes to maybe eleven. And I remember I in my
late teens. You go to a club three o'clock in
the morning, they're coming out, and that place was pumping
till six. I mean it was insane, But not like
that in Poland.
Speaker 5: No, No, I think it's the temperature probably has a
lot to do with it, or like we're Poland is
a lot like Rochester. Yeah, maybe a little bit colder
in the winter, yeah, and our days a little bit
longer in the summer.
Speaker 1: Okay, but no, it's there isn't that same because here,
and you know, the big thing about Americans is many
jobs will offer a minimum of two weeks vacation, and
people don't take it right because they're either as afraid
of and that we that our quality of life suffers,
or or our quality of life and our values. Is
work work work, work work kind of the same thing.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, it's it's so different. Mothers get well,
from what I remember a mother, what a newborn child
would get a year off from work right where over
here we get if we're lucky, twelve weeks and it's
very rushed.
Speaker 1: We're over there year off and is that paid?
Speaker 5: It's full pay and then you can get up to
five years. I believe it was eighty percent of your
pay or.
Speaker 8: Some Canada, isn't it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Sure sounds like it may be, but
I don't know.
Speaker 5: You know what, even just the simple fact that we
had Sundays off. Everything shut down on a Sunday because
it was probably back in the day ninety percent Catholic,
so everybody went to church. So on the Sunday morning,
you would just see neighborhoods of people strolling into the
church and then me and my brother sitting on the side,
you know, like we're not going, We're just gonna sit
here and play. But it was it was just it
was just amazing, and everything was shut down. You couldn't
you know, you couldn't run over.
Speaker 7: To Wegman family time, so we would go to church.
Speaker 5: And then we would go over to my grandparents' house
and have dinner, and then we would just go for
a walk and then go to the cemetery and visit
the dead people because that's what you did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, it is what you did. But it
was almost a sort of a respect for the elders
and those that have lived.
Speaker 5: It was just so different, and I kind of mess that.
It's like showing that to my kids. I guess that's like,
now what do we do on Sundays? We rush from
sport to sports. We have to do this so that
you know, and it's like you need something, you run
to Wegmans, and it's just life is so crazy. Yes,
And every time I go to Poland, I recharge you.
Speaker 8: Do I do?
Speaker 1: I do it? So it is more and more not
the same as Spain in terms of shutting down, more
quality of life and the mentality. Yeah, that's interesting because
I often wonder as I get older, do we have
it wrong? Do we put value on the wrong stuff?
You know?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 1: What what what is rich? You know? What is rich?
Is it always going for the you know the next
crypto thing. I'm kidding.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 1: I bring that up for that reason. But my point
is like, well, chase, chase, chase, and at the end,
you're not taking it with you anyway exactly why. And
I think we have I don't know if you agree
or not, but I think we have mental health problems
in this country as a result of that stuff, you know,
four or five. I think that's uh.
Speaker 2: I can't speak for anyone else though, four or five
mental health problems.
Speaker 1: One of the things I was gonna say, speaking mental
that I can't wrap my head around is folding a
fitted sheet. I still can't do that.
Speaker 2: My wife showed me the other day.
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I cannot. Is it really? But
you can do it? Yeah? My my my wife could
do it.
Speaker 5: Oh really yes, because before it was like, you know,
like you're.
Speaker 1: Like all wrapped up in it looks like a big
mush It's like a mushroom.
Speaker 5: You wash it, you put in.
Speaker 2: And by the way, if you have animals like cats
and stuff and you're folded clothes, they all want to
get involved and then the cat ends up in the
folded the fitted sheet.
Speaker 5: I tell them allergic to kid cat cat no, no,
no cats in my house.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big cat person either.
Speaker 2: Dogs I'm okay with My wife snuck like two in
on me. She's trying to get a third.
Speaker 5: You have to say, like you have allergies.
Speaker 1: Yah, there's the seizure.
Speaker 7: She didn't buy its seizure coughed.
Speaker 1: Up a hair.
Speaker 2: I'm grabbing a wallet, putting into my own mouth.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 4: My client today had two cats, two guinea pigs, and
an axle lottle.
Speaker 6: What is it?
Speaker 1: I don't know what a lot is.
Speaker 4: Like it's an amphibian and it sort of looks like
a chameleon, but it has like little tiny arms and
lives in the water.
Speaker 5: Really yeah, I mean they're sort of like you. How
much like are you looking at I'll pull it out.
Speaker 2: No, I was at the guy from Beverly Hills. Cop
ax was okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the other.
Speaker 5: It's a.
Speaker 4: Hato morphic salamander.
Speaker 1: Oh okay. Well, I have no idea what I don't
think most of us can. We've been speaking the language
our entire life. I have no idea. Well, football had
to be kind of an eye opener. No American yeah,
American football? Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's it's it's fun, it's a great sport.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a cartoon.
Speaker 5: It's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your son plays, he does, I mean he's nine.
Yeah tackle? Yeah, my son had played too, and I
think my I have three sons and all of them
played at one point. And I know that there's worry
about concussion and stuff, but I'll just say I think
that one of the sports where you learn the most
discipline and how to do your job no matter. And
I'll use this term sexy, meaning that you know, you
get the ball. It's the most popular thing. You want
to be the running back, the quarterback of but the lineman,
the running back can't do his job if you don't
do yours. And I always thought that was one of
the greatest things that football taught. That and a lot
of discipline. You know, my son when he was down south,
I mean that was intense football down there for young people.
Speaker 5: I mean that's why my son isn't football. It's for discipline.
It is like I think somebody said, no, your child, yeah, right,
So would I put my if I had another son
in it? I don't know, but it's good for him.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's a that's a that's a really yeah. And
I mean, look, I don't know soccer well, but I
would assume or American football. That is that the thing?
It looks like it looks like a Pokemon.
Speaker 7: It look like it's not cute.
Speaker 1: Cute, but it looks like a Pokemon or something that
the kids are chasing around on a Pokemon native to
I have no idea a sewer. I have no idea
it does. I don't know. It looks like it girls
out of a sewer or whatever.
Speaker 5: So I have to ask you. So, your son jan
that flipped a U TV.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh gosh, you were there.
Speaker 2: I was there.
Speaker 5: Yes, So we share bond now because last year I
flipped on.
Speaker 1: I heard that you flipped it last year. Yeah, so Jordan,
uh yeah he did. He rolled it pretty good. Yeah.
My neck is still stuff.
Speaker 5: I got to go upstairs and see that curry.
Speaker 1: I remember when I got out. Jenny was one of
the first people and she goes, are you okay? How's
your head? That was like one of the first questions
he asked. But Jordan's helmet was in the middle of
his helmet flew off. He's he's fine. He's down in
Saint Louis now. He's working on his master's degree and something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have to say that I saw his helmet.
So we were the second group right to pull out
behind you, and I saw his helmet rolling and I
lost my shirt. I literally did. I I couldn't even
walk up to you guys because it just brought back memories.
And I was fine, right like when I rolled mine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I was.
Speaker 5: You go through like shock, and everybody goes through it differently.
But when I when I saw you guys get out,
I literally my hands is shad to walk away, like
I can't do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like, did you roll yours? The next day? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember hearing about it from from Mac. He
came over and telling me the story. Yeah, I wasn't
on that track.
Speaker 5: A lot of was involved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you get injured?
Speaker 5: We did not know.
Speaker 7: Okay, thank god I did not know.
Speaker 1: No that we weren't really injured either. But my big
thing was because you're right and I he was driving
and I there were two things that I thought in
that moment, as his dad. One, I don't want to
embarrass you in front of everybody. You already did that
by rolling, And the other was I also don't want
you to be too scared, So I want you to
drive again. I was wondering, Yeah, I wanted him to
drive again. So I just said to him, you drive,
and he didn't. If he said to me, I don't
want to, that would have been different. But I figured,
as you drive, let's see what it's great. Yeah, only
because my thinking was, you know, I love racing cars.
I love doing that shit, you're gonna have something like
this happened. The worst thing you get if you're ever
fearful behind the wheel, that's when we have more accidents
and more problems. So I thought this would be the
right way.
Speaker 5: I had no fear when I got behind that wheel.
It was Jesus, dig the wheel, and you fuckinged it.
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: Who.
Speaker 5: I took that turn really quick. This was on their
property though, right, yeah, somewhere near and my husband left me.
He went brownning to get help. We didn't bring phones
right the next day, so like it's an entire day
of drinking y and then of course Damien comes over
with shots of Jamison and we do a shot and
I'm like, let's take this beast for a ride, you know,
blah blah blah, and we took it and it was
liquid courage. I do not recommend. No, like it was stupid, right,
I shouldn't have.
Speaker 1: Did you have a helmet on?
Speaker 5: I did, thanks to Kate Kate next door.
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 5: She came running. We were all right and the machine
and she's like, you have to put your helmet on.
So she was like my guardian angel over there, and
she said, put your helmet on, and we did. And
I just remember counting. I'm like one, two, three.
Speaker 1: Oh you rolled three times? Oh my god, we just
flipped once and back up on our wheels.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, wow, you go hard and pull it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah three times? Yeah. Oh that that will really
freak you out.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I just I had a bruise on my hip
from the seed belt and that was pretty much.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But well there was it a harnessed belt too,
where they come over your shoulders.
Speaker 5: No, it was just the one thee. But it's like
this this year was tough. This year was it was like, yeah,
just getting back into the machine and sitting in the
back because I didn't want to drive. I'm like, I'm
not driving, I'm just gonna sit here. I think I
got my eyes closed for the first hour really because
I couldn't. I couldn't. I couldn't do it.
Speaker 1: Someone was like torture, Yeah it was.
Speaker 5: And then I had the harness, so I couldn't reach
my husband to like be like, slow down.
Speaker 1: Well did you feel better as it went on?
Speaker 5: Yeah, course, because then you're drinking too, right, So yeah, like.
Speaker 1: You said, liquid courage, that's what it goes on there.
Speaker 5: But I just I had to say that, you know,
because we have that connection.
Speaker 1: Yes, we do. Yes. I was just very glad that
I he was doing. I drove the first two legs
and I would say to him, one of the things
you want to do if you want to have a
little fun, is take your foot off the gas as
you go into a turn and then hit it as
you come out and I'll give you a little kick.
So he's doing that, and I said to him, I
did say. I turned to him at one point and said,
you're not that good. But he couldn't hear me, and
I yelled at again, you're not that good. What And
I goes slow down And the next thing I know,
and you know what, I think part of it too
was all the dust that gets in these right, that
goes in the air, so you're not see exactly where
the person in front of you was going. And at
that point we were switching a trail kind of and
then the next thing I know, he's I was.
Speaker 5: Just so happy that you guys walked out of well.
Speaker 1: I was very you know, on your to me too.
Thank you.
Speaker 5: It was Jenny's first time, so she did great.
Speaker 1: Jenny did, Jenny did, and Jenny's awesome. In cornhole, Jenny's
team beat me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jenny one. Jenny was higher flip cup oh champ.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some serious stuff.
Speaker 5: He's very competitive.
Speaker 1: There was some really competitive people there, Yes, there was.
I was trying not to be. I was just going,
I'm just gonna observe. I'll observe because I can get
too competitive and I didn't want to do that either.
All Right, we'll close it out. Thank you very much
for coming in. It was so fun to learn about you,
Kasha and Jenny being a MTV or trying out for
real world. And of course the Grand and now the
crossing of the canyon. You should document this, maybe that
becomes something you should bring a camera and do a
YouTube thing or something on that. It would be interesting.
Speaker 5: I don't have Facebook that's what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're going to be doing that twenty six
miles one feet in elevation change through twenty four hour,
twelve hours, right, twelve hours to hike it. And it
is all to raise money for brain cancer, which I
think is something that's underfunded and not talked about a
whole lot. So it's very cool. Good luck for Dan Burrello,
for Laura. I'm Bill Moran. We'll see you Monday.
Speaker 2: At What to Do in a moment I spent
