But there are patterns in life that we look for.
Speaker 4: Does this happen again?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's the thing that was twenty twenty
that was twenty twenty two, so.
Speaker 4: It's only three years ago. I don't feel like yesterday, folks,
but it was only three years ago.
Speaker 2: So then I do a little digging. Oh okay, and
I find a news story from July twenty twenty four,
so that would be last year.
Speaker 4: Every rouse It's.
Speaker 2: A TV news anchor in Texas was arrested on domestic
violence charges after police said she broke her boyfriend's note.
She Heather Covar, Huh, this woman right here, let me.
Speaker 6: See all right, Thank you so much, Emma for.
Speaker 3: That is connected.
Speaker 2: Nope. Heather Covar was arrested Monday night in college station.
According to court records, Covar was drinking Margarita's at a
Mexican food restaurant. Penn State went, well, no, this is
down to Texas.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's our college station to Texas. I'm taking of
state college Wednesday. Okay, college stations.
Speaker 2: When she got into an argument with her boyfriend over
relationship issues they've been having. They went back to her
apartment across from the Texas A and M University campus.
Speaker 3: So she's no longer an anchor and in Albany.
Speaker 2: She left Albany, came back to she came back to Texas.
We heard she talked about her mom. The weather in
Texas it is so hot. Yeah. Uh. Covar punched him
twelve times in the face, bit his left arm, scratched
his other arm. According to court documents, he suffered a
bloody broken nose, barricaded himself in the bathroom. And she
is the weekend anchor at KBTX was since May twenty
twenty three. They are investigating the manner. So then I
see another article and I go, oh, well, here we go.
A former Albany TV news anchor who is no stranger
to public relations issues when she worked here in the
Capitol region, was arrested in Texas after a violent outburst
that led to her breaking her boyfriend's nose. According to
a TV station in Texas, former WRGB news anchor Heather
Kovar was arrested Monday night in college station after she
allegedly drinking too many Margarita's at a Mexican restaurant and
then turning violent on her boyfriend.
Speaker 4: And it's the same thing before they went live to
the actual Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 2: Before working in Texas, Covar was part of the news
team at CBS six WRGB here in Albaney for about
six years. She had an incident back in July of
twenty twenty two where she appeared jittery and at times incoherent,
slurring her words while she was anchoring weekend newscasts at
the time. Covar said her bizarre television appearance was due
to exhaustion, while explaining that some personal issues exasperated the situation.
Short time later, can only play that card once, huh.
A short time after that, Covar was suspended by WRGB.
According to KBTX, her charge of assault and family violence
callising bodily entry as a class A misdemeanor. Yeah, so
she beat her boyfriend up. So when you go back
and you hear the inside edition report on her Albany thing,
you can kind of look at it with a different lens.
Speaker 7: Now, yes, James, you just put pen to paper.
Speaker 2: On oopsprung guy.
Speaker 8: Well, hello, good turning on the six pm local news.
You don't expect to see this, like I was.
Speaker 6: Telling you this morning. If you watched this this morning
starting at six am, seven am, I told you, you
know what today, what a beautiful day outside. It is
just amazing.
Speaker 8: Heather Covar, the weekend anchor for WRGBT in Albany, New York,
appears to be slurring her words and rambling at times incoherently.
Speaker 6: More than fifteen million people across the country's southeast or
under warnings for excessive heat and void don't you know that?
Speaker 8: And when she tosses to the weather, she calls the
meteorologist by the wrong name and just keeps stumbling.
Speaker 6: This weekend right here, it is so amazing meteorologist Craig Adam,
right here here, Sorry, Craig Adam.
Speaker 5: Why did I say that?
Speaker 8: Her train wreck performance is a far cry from the
put together anchor her viewers are used to seeing.
Speaker 6: It was a busy night for first responders in the
collar city with a fire, shooting and stabbing.
Speaker 8: Right, So was she drunk on live TV? Covar says,
no way. In a statement, she insists she was suffering
from sleep deprivation and exhaustion because she had just returned
from family leave after the death of her father. The
station released this statement saying, Heather Kovar has been suspended
pending our internal investigation.
Speaker 2: All right, there you go inside of this a couple
of things. Here's what I was gonna say, kind of
a dick thing that that maybe they were doing here.
I'm just saying that there's a pattern. So and it
seems more drunk than exhausted. Exhausted just seems slur You're
like too happy about certain things and not other things.
They actually died, you know what I mean? Like that
to me is an indication of an altered state of consciousness. Yes,
not somebody who's having a medical condition. Maybe I'm wrong.
I don't know if you know this, Dan, I'm not
a doctor. No, I know, I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 3: But do we have AI now?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: So that changes everything?
Speaker 2: Let me throw depending on which croc you're willing to
pay for, let me throw this at you because you
you were probably gonna go here as well. I think
she did drink. I don't know if she drank a lot,
And I don't know that she wasn't on some kind
of medication. Sometimes, Oh dude, people will go on like
a low dose something to take the edge off. My
dad at one point said to me, with all the
shit going on, durer my, He's like, man, I worry
about you. I worry about you, know, stroking out whatever.
You should consider that, my dad, who never said this stuff,
like consider that. So I'm just saying that a lot
of times, if you're on an antidepressant, you're not supposed
to drink. No.

Zach Brown and Zach Bryan that kind of because they
got to connect with you pretty deeply as a performer, right,
I mean, how do you channel the energy for these Well,
the Zach Brown.
Speaker 5: Thing what I I just fell in love with.
Speaker 9: Actually, my buddy Mike Arsenal from Florida sent me some
of that music because he likes to turn me onto music,
and I appreciate it.
Speaker 5: He turned me on to Zach Brown.
Speaker 9: I think, I want to say, in like, you know,
probably twenty well probably twenty nine, twenty eight or something
like that. So I really liked the music prior to
I was really like, I guess, in deep with the
music before before I launched zb TV. But it's you know,
I just it was number one, it was in the
correct range.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like sure number two.
Speaker 5: I I just I like.
Speaker 2: But it's it's you have to like it in order
to bring it to life, is what I'm saying. Yeah,
I go that there's that's really nice.
Speaker 9: Well, there's a lot of beachy music. It reminds you
of being on like on vacation or on a boat.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 9: Uh there, uh, you know, I hate to get into this.
Uh there's a there was a girl. There's a girl
and it was like her favorite music okay, and she
broke my heart pretty.
Speaker 5: Bad okay, and uh and so uh so uh as
my my get.
Speaker 2: Does Zach Bryan have a fuck you bitch and all
the people he may he broke up.
Speaker 9: With a girl like eight months ago that has been
publicly trying to destroy him for that whole time.
Speaker 5: But I was completely in.
Speaker 2: The stress girl.
Speaker 9: No no, I was completely in love with this girl
and it was her favorite music. And when she broke
my heart, I was like, man, Okay, I'm just gonna
do this now.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And uh but it like it's it worked out really
really well for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he see and it's something good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he always it always death brings life because.
Speaker 2: Like with a Highway Boys Saturday night, Yeah at bTB
go to bTB r oc dot com get your tickets
ten dollars through. This drops on Thursday, so only through
the fourteenth. Yeah, right at midnight will be the cutoff.
I don't know, but somewhere around there or maybe earlier,
but I would say jump on it as soon as
you can. And also the VIP twenty five dollars or
thirty five? Wrong with the twenty that that's that blows
my mind, right, know, I think he's.
Speaker 5: Under selling that honestly, But hey, what do I know?
Speaker 2: I don't know either. I don't either. But phtographs, Yeah,
you can.
Speaker 9: Tell you you get to use like the bathrooms inside,
you get to use the bar.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's there's a ton of things that would save
you enough time to spend the extra ten bucks or
whatever makes sense.
Speaker 2: I can't go out without spending one hundred bucks. Yeah,
now I have a drinking problem. But I mean, you know.
Speaker 5: I'm sponsored by bud Light, Right, that's pretty.
Speaker 2: Fucking good there, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But when you're doing like Zach Bryan songs, people are
hearing your interpretation of his music. And how do you
strike the balance between staying true to that guy's style
and still bringing from a peak to the stage, you
know what I mean? Because you've got a big personality.
Speaker 5: I think.
Speaker 9: I think that's what I do is I kind of
leave myself. I try to sound like the guys. Yeah, Like,
I spend a lot of time trying to sound like
the guys. And I'm not saying I sound exactly like
the guys because you really can't.
Speaker 5: But I mean that's I'm not. I've never wanted to
be Pete Frank the rock star.
Speaker 9: I like, I've never done There's no art in this
for me. I love I love singing popular music. I
love singing in front of a group of people that
appreciates that music. And I'm happy to sing in whatever
style I need to sing to.
Speaker 2: Who can relate to that guy sitting across from you?
Speaker 5: Oh really?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well Danny was in bands and stuff. He played,
and that's what I'm saying. Like you, we used to
make fun of Danny because we did a radio show
on to see him a few years ago, and uh,
Danny was like a different guy when he hit the stage.
It was like, where's people like that? Where is that
fucking guy? Where can we hang out with the cool guy?
Speaker 4: How he used to kill me? That cause that kind
of Christian And I can get me hyed.
Speaker 9: The people that know me professionally in my day job,
if they see me doing like, you know, my weekend jobs,
they they I've had several people tell me like, how
does this even you? Just because it's very very fairly,
very responsible, like a day job, and on the weekends,
I make people pound beers like yeah, right, right, right right, yeah,
it's yeah, it's kind of you bring a party.
Speaker 5: That's the whole idea. And I think that's it.
Speaker 9: I think that's one of the big reasons why it's
been successful, you know, as I as we as we
matured and as we look back and we tried to think,
like even since high school.
Speaker 5: I used to throw some great parties in high school. Yeah,
my parents.
Speaker 9: I got a get mom, if you're listening, don't, don't listen.
But I would have hundreds of people at our house
in Greece. Nothing ever got broken, nothing ever got damage.
They were good kids. That happened and uh well I
was right on Ladder Road and it was noisy road anyways.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, I'm saying, how did nothing more? Dog calling?
This is the thing, Pete. I I was voted in
my high school yearbook, like my senior year, where are
they going to be in ten years? I was voted
most likely to still be looking for a party to
this day. And I have all kinds of things. But
I there was a kid younger than me whose parents
were out of town, and he threw a party and
he called me up, going, you gotta help me. You
got to get everybody out of here. They were putting
grapefruits in the microwave and just letting them fucking explode.
Speaker 9: Well, they probably didn't respect him, oh ude, nobody did.
Speaker 3: That would be like throwing a party.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, Because he's like, how come this
shit never happens to you? I go, well, I had
a knife poule on me when somebody tried to steal
cavasi and I go, hey, man, that that will get
me killed by my parents, so I will fight you
over this. But I never had anything broken or stone either. Yeah.
Speaker 9: No, Like, And we had a really I had a
really good network of friends. We probably uh, I don't know,
if you edit up. There was sixteen or twenty of
us that would hang out almost every.
Speaker 5: Weekend, huh and uh.
Speaker 9: And it was to the point where I would come
home from where I worked at Wegmans, and I worked
three thirty to midnight a lot, and I'd come home
at twelve thirty and they'd be four tables of cards
going like it was just like since my parents weren't
home very often, it was the house that every but
he knew that if you drove by and you saw
cars there, you just pulled in because.
Speaker 5: It's good to stop in something. Yeah, and.
Speaker 9: Anytime I had parties, if there was a problem it
it almost never got back to me, like it was
somebody would fix it before it started, wow type thing.
Speaker 2: Okay, Like we only.
Speaker 9: Had one instance that didn't get explained, and that somebody
smashed a watermelon the basement one time, Like that is
the worst thing that happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty that's pretty mild. I mean the time,
it's a pain in the ass because that's a mess, right,
it's a mess. But other than that, I mean, when
you look back, you go as it's pretty good.
Speaker 9: And there was a team like and there was boys
and girls in this thing. But on Sunday, like the
team would all show up. The girls would go top
to bottom of the house and clean everything, and all
the guys would get the beer bottles and make sure
that there's nothing that's out of place even remotely.
Speaker 5: So Yeah, my parents, they they had questions.
Speaker 9: But we never really got like they would find out
from their a kid that was there whose parents worked
at Kodak, who had said that they were to party
at our house over the week. They would find that
out through the grape tree, but they would like, we
never really got busted by there was never any evidence.
Speaker 2: That's good. He's still bringing the party today.
Speaker 5: Well, and that's just it.
Speaker 9: So like if you look at Dad and all those
people they really helped, maybe sixty of the people that
used to party at my house showed up at our
first gig.
Speaker 5: Well it was that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then those are that's lifelong friendships. Yeah.
Speaker 9: No, I'm fortunate to have a ton of lifelong friends.
Speaker 2: And you know I'm not And I told you this
on the previous podcast that you run. I'm not all
that familiar with Zach Bryan. I have a friend who
just went to see Zach Bryan. She really liked Zach
brian songs. But I said to you, there was something
about the lyrics that I really liked, and you said, yeah,
I love his lyrics, and his lyrics are raw. I
mean he is a real storytelling quality, which is what
I picked up. And I like lyrics. I like Jim
Crotchy for lyrics. I like, yeah, yeah, absolutely, John Hyatt's lyrics.
I always thought John Hyat did a lot of great
double entendre really painted a picture for you. Uh, is
there a particular song that kind of hits you personally
from Zach Bryan every time you sing it? And and
kind of what's the story behind the connection?
Speaker 9: If there is, the song like Ida is, it's it's
it's so most of his music is about girls, and
much of it is slower and uh, not depressing per se,
but it really tells a great story. But the song
like Ida is about basically being being in love with
a woman that that is not reciprocating that love. But
he's telling that story while talking about a muscle car.
Yeah yeah, so, uh, you know part of it is
to put the parts on the shelf and you know
I got running ninety one is you know when he
gets his stuff clean, stuff together as a person. But
that's that song really touched me.
Speaker 5: It's it's just.
Speaker 9: I don't know, it reminded me of somewhere that I
was in life for like about six years, that chip
that I that I made the ZBT before. It reminded
me of that girl.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, but do you will you play it Saturday? Saturday? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, it probably is. I haven't seen the set
list yet. Like, Okay, I haven't put it together, but

And I go, I do And he's like, no way,
where are they getting the money with the cap? And
I go, Believe me, these guys have ways of putting
things out a number of years. I mean, don't forget
different sport, but Bobby Bonie is still getting paid a
million dollars over every I mean, come on.
Speaker 3: Canada Day and Bobby Bonia Day.
Speaker 2: So they pushed that shit out, but here comes Cook
and he got I thought, I said on this podcast
forty three million, fifteen a year with I was thinking
maybe twenty guaranteed. It's not exactly that. It's even bigger.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's forty eight million, four years, thirty million guaranteed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, plus a tip chart.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: And a lot of guys they were.
Speaker 4: Like, well, wait a minute, what was the hold up then,
because he basically got pretty much almost all that he
asked for? So was the hold up on his end?
Was it his agent?
Speaker 5: Was it Terry?
Speaker 3: Was it the Bills? I think it was. I mean, I.
Speaker 4: Let's be honest. Okay, this dude just on offense, not
talk of the entire game, only plays forty seven percent
of the offensive snaps, which means he doesn't even play
a quarter of the game. And this dude somehow like
and yes, he is the Bill's second best offensive player
behind Joshua Patrick Allen, no question. But I want to
go back to the AFC Championship game and ask this question.
It's been asked on this show many times. Dude, where
the hell were you when the game was on the
line with three thirty three to go?
Speaker 2: I've got many things to bring to three.
Speaker 4: Timeouts, A two minute warning for you down three?
Speaker 3: Where were you?
Speaker 2: You can't let it down. I can't let it go.
You can't fucking let it go.
Speaker 4: What I could have loved you?
Speaker 2: So they stick a microphone. I get, I have the
bills app. They do a fantastic it's a great appally doing.
Speaker 4: A tremendous app.
Speaker 3: Billy, it's a great app.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 4: If I would have bought the team, it would have
been better.
Speaker 2: So they do a great job and they stick a
microphone in his face immediately. Now he's a football player,
he's you know, some guys have big personalities. Some guys
are just quiet. Right. We don't give a ship as
long as you perform on the field.
Speaker 4: Just shot touchdowns and win football games.
Speaker 2: I felt a little bad, James.
Speaker 7: You just put pen to paper on a four year
contract extension. Why did you want to continue your career
in this offense?
Speaker 10: Because you have an awesome quarterback, you know? And then
the program was just drafted me. Organization is drafting me. Yeah,
I just want to spend the rest of my career
and be afraid this is.
Speaker 7: A big moment for you. What would you tell the
younger James Cook?
Speaker 10: Right, I never thought I'd have been.
Speaker 7: Here, and now that you're here, Now, what's the reaction
to the career that you've had thus far?
Speaker 10: It's been good, I mean, but that's not then. The
ultimate goal is to keep going and keep providing for
my team and my family and.
Speaker 2: Proudly know what to.
Speaker 10: Say you guys, I don't know what, because just a
lot going on.
Speaker 7: That's awesome. You're a powerful and right you also have
great hands that add in the passing game in your
skill set here.
Speaker 10: I mean, just pushing myself every day, just leaning on
my teammates throughout it, and just kept going and putting
my head.
Speaker 2: Down to work.
Speaker 7: What's the first thing you're buying with that contract money?
Speaker 10: I don't know yet.
Speaker 7: A nice dinner maybe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the answers I want to put in there for
I'll be.
Speaker 10: Done, oh my taste. My mom and told her the
last well we figured out find out last night. So
I told her last night and before she went to sleep,
and she just congratulated me.
Speaker 7: And think that's awesome. You led the league in rushing
touchdowns last year. What can Bill's Mafia expect for James
Cook in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 2: Dadd and more I like it that it's painful.
Speaker 3: It's a painful, yeah, both sides.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I know that, I know that.
Speaker 4: I know that, I know that she works for the
team may but she does a great job with what she's.
Speaker 2: Given to work with. I don't know who, Okay, but.
Speaker 3: Like, oh my gosh, that was tough, like the PR team.
Speaker 2: Like you know what you have to work with, Yeah,
with the reporter and the interviewee in this case, James Cook.
Speaker 4: So hey, can we just massage this a bit?
Speaker 3: Can we throw some lines out there?
Speaker 4: The Bill's PR team, they're terrible.
Speaker 3: They're just garbage. They've been garbage.
Speaker 2: They aren't.
Speaker 4: Theyre in Buffalo. There's a reason, okay, compared to like,
you know, a bigger city. Here's the reason why you
end up in Buffalo. Let's be honest.
Speaker 2: Okay, But wow, wow, Pete, does that hurt or what there?
Speaker 4: I grew up there.
Speaker 9: I know there's forty four million dollars enough to put
a roof over the news.
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering, dude, it's a retractable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like the interview was paidful. But I
get it, Okay, I get it. I get it. All
you had to do all they had to do was
play the clip from Chappelle's show where the weather guy
goes unpaid umpaid and he's doing the wiggle.
Speaker 2: I'm paid paid.
Speaker 4: That's all they had to.
Speaker 2: Do, all right now, Danny. Yeah, Now I'm gonna really
get under your skin. Okay, not not necessarily under your skin.
You mentioned this show when we were talking about Barstool
going to Fox. Uh, Nick right y, right, yeah, I
have he.
Speaker 3: Has a thorn in Buffalo's side.
Speaker 2: I have an awe.
Speaker 3: But he's a smart dude.
Speaker 2: I have audio of Nick Wright. I will pause it
anytime you signal.
Speaker 4: Does he sound like Doctor Evil in this one too?
Speaker 2: You want to comment, Pete, listen to sounds like Doctor Eeville?
Like I don't.
Speaker 4: If you've seen this dude, just listen to him.
Speaker 5: Does he have a big white, fluffy cat?
Speaker 8: Might he might?
Speaker 11: Thirty quarterbacks have won six or more playoff games. Josh
Allen's won seven. Here's the full list of them that
haven't been to a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Just him.
Speaker 11: There's been thirty two coaches to win seven or more
playoff games. Two have not been to a Super Bowl,
Chuck Knock, Sean McDermott. And that's it. The other thirty
all have and so that is odd company, particularly for Josh. Now,
Josh is as safe as a player can get.
Speaker 2: I don't know that. Sean McDermott is what do you think?
Speaker 4: I think he's spitting facts?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean sorry.
Speaker 4: I said this right after the did on this podcast
you did with our pal Matt.
Speaker 3: Reese in his bar saying.
Speaker 4: What are we doing?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: What are we doing? And at what point is Josh
who I love? Everybody loves who doesn't love Josh Allen?
He's the all American boy man, he is the American dream.
And then you got McDermott and you're like, Okay, when
are they going to crack this?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: So who's like?
Speaker 2: He goes deeper? Yeah, a little more nick right from
Fox Sports one. I think John McDermott's a good coach.
Speaker 11: But if I were running the Bills and we got
cracked by the in crack just beaten by the Chiefs
again this year, I gotta change something.
Speaker 2: I have to.
Speaker 11: Why else would my team believe it's gonna be different.
There is the element of making the conference championship game. Yes,
we would be disappointed if we made the conference championship
game and lost the day after, but a week later
we'd be like, what a year?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 11: And the majority of teams that would be the case,
The vast majority of teams making the super Bowl is
a successful season. Even if you get cracked in the
super Bowl doesn't feel like it in the days after
successful season. There's just a select handful of teams that
truly are how about this super Bowl or failure? Yes,
and the Bills they might be at the very top.
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 4: He's absolutely right? Okay, you can't argue with that. I
know Bill's mafia wants to argue with Nick right, and
he's given him a lot of ammunition to huh. Okay,
you like he wants to a Baker Mayfield to a
tongue of violo. Were better than Josh Allen? Those were
his words. Yeah, okay, all the same dude, who's on
Lebron James's payroll? But I'm not joking.
Speaker 2: A lot of people did a lot of people, No,
not really, a lot of people, not Baker at the one.
Speaker 12: Yeah that year, yes, three years later no, oh, he
was still saying that he was saving this in twenty
twenty two. Okay, this is long after we had proven
our Josh Allen had proven himself had gone from zero
to hero. Yeah, okay, because I did not want to
build the draft Josh Allen.
Speaker 5: And I'm not alone.
Speaker 4: I'm in the majority of people that didn't want because
like the numbers just didn't lie. It's like, oh my gosh,
this guy. What we didn't realize was that, you know,
like things were tough at Wyoming man real tough, but
he had the potential. And Sean McDermott saw that. He
brought him Brian Dable, he coached him up, He turned
him over to Jordan Jordan Math I think was Jordan
Palmer in the off season to work on his mechanics
and everything, and he grew by leaps and bounds.
Speaker 2: This kid, well, the guy worked his ass off.
Speaker 3: He did he absolutely.
Speaker 4: Did while Baker was doing commercials and Tuga was getting concussed.
And at the end of the day, this guy is
the best. He is the best quarterback in the NFL.
Right now, here's the problem. On his final drive of
every single year, it's Josh Allen.
Speaker 3: And let me repeat that one more time. Yeah, it's
Josh Allen.
Speaker 2: And I don't know, right, you know what My buddies

or maybe about the filthy things I'm gonna do to
you when we get home something. And then and then
somebody will see me and go, what are you doing
over there? And I'll go, would you like to know?
We discuss about it later? Are yes? She conna do?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 4: We should do a morning show and every day of
a five twenty somebody would walk in the show the
walking gossip column and we get the entire front page
of page six in Rochester delivered to us word of
mouth like the town crier right the studio before we
actually did the actual talk show.
Speaker 2: Wow, here's what So that's true. That is true, He's right.
Speaker 4: And then we had another person on the show says, oh,
men definitely gossip more than women.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's what she said. Who said Sally?
Speaker 3: Sally said that.
Speaker 2: Wow. I didn't believe that until I worked with me.
Speaker 3: As she said the we show, the.
Speaker 2: Wei show was bad because he would come in with stuff,
and then Tommy and then and then I was he
was our town.
Speaker 3: Crying all this Tommy or Tommy was I never worked
with We's this.
Speaker 2: Is how I worked with and we would love a
good gossip too, but he would back out at a
certain point. But Tommy would get so bad that he
would be zooming in on chicks vacation photos. They be
looking for like cell you like, I.
Speaker 5: See they see you.
Speaker 2: Laughing our asses off, but.
Speaker 5: You should not be wearing sandals. Brow.
Speaker 2: Here's here's how fucked up. To Pete's point of like,
we're sort of mean, I think I found this interesting.
So they do this, they say. This research builds on
a study from twenty nineteen which debunked popular myths about gossip,
and the popular myths were the belief that women gossip
more maliciously. They don't well more maliciously. But I'm going
ils mean to each other, to each other, to.
Speaker 5: Each other, they're like, they're all they can be.
Speaker 2: I wonder like if they're if they're really tight with somebody,
But even there.
Speaker 9: I've seen them meet each other alive, even when they're
tight with each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to. I've heard the expression.
Speaker 4: Is that like men dress up for their wives, women
dress up for each other. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
I mean, dude, that's all you need. That's the former.
Speaker 5: That's all right, you gonna stop.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh honey, here are you popping out of a
cake tonight? No, Sharon's gonna be there. Fuck that bitch.
It's like that's one it will be right.
Speaker 4: Like, why what you gotta see my wife when when
there's a gig, man, she gets all down.
Speaker 5: I'm like, hundred percent.
Speaker 9: My wife dresses up for the gates, so that like
just to make sure that nobody else is looking like
she's not showing up look like a bunch later after
one hundred percent, and my wife is gorgeous. It's like
she like she'll heal up like stilettos and the tight
jeans and the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pretend. Oh yes, I'm gonna pretend. And then
the other belief was that poor people gossip more often.
Speaker 4: That's all I got.
Speaker 5: Yeah, is that true?
Speaker 4: They got the time, I guess, But sometimes I think, yeah,
they're the ones who are watching like commercials like for
Everest in midday.
Speaker 2: No, I know, but sometimes I think poor people are
the happiest people. Yeah, there you go, kind of like that.
Speaker 5: I got no stress things about you know, I.
Speaker 4: Was like Tommy used to call me the working poor, Remember,
like when I worked the radio because we're Oh gosh,
it was so bad. It was awful, but like, yeah,
I wasn't happy. I was not happy, but I would gossip. Yeah, Tommy,
tell me.
Speaker 5: More of.
Speaker 8: This.
Speaker 5: Check right to hear.
Speaker 2: I'm miserable.
Speaker 9: Somebody else like this, so I don't think about mine exactly.
Speaker 4: So he's got somebody on the side. This is supposed
to make me feel better. I can't even get what
he's got.
Speaker 2: Two. All right, we will wrap it up. Get your
tickets to see the Zach Bryant Tribute, which is the
Highway Boys, and then the m eighty Saturday Night it's
the Is it the second.
Speaker 4: Year he's doing this.
Speaker 5: I think it's the second year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been doing it as a music fest, and
I'm really this one. I just think he's gonna blow
the doors off.
Speaker 4: And what time?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Uh so gates open at five and then the
show starts in the six o'clock hour.
Speaker 4: All right, cool, we figured this out. We're gonna start
right at six o'clock.
Speaker 3: Oh all right, you want to get there now then?
Speaker 9: And it's all ages too, because like the Highway boys
that Zach Bryan has a younger fan group, so that
actually works out really really well that we're starting at
six and we're gonna plays like six to seven, thirty seven,
forty five, and then eighty's is going to close out
from eight to ten.
Speaker 3: Oh there's a curfew, a hard stop at ten o'clock.
Speaker 9: Oh, we're in Greece, my friend, Okay, yeah, I was
sure how the rules work over there.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of cops in Greece.
Speaker 2: There's like and they're just looking.
Speaker 9: But a good report has like three cops. It's the
whole they do, the whole village. Yeah, Like Grease has
like three or four sub stations and they're like, yeah,
we've got to stop at ten.
Speaker 5: There's a mil Azors thing.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 4: I was at a show once at a wedding.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: There used to be this place in Gates.
Speaker 3: You may have played there.
Speaker 4: It was called I used to be called Blue and
then it became a bar called uh five five Rockenburger.
Oh yeah, yeah, they had we played there, so they
outside stage.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So on the weekdays, Billy, which meant Sunday through Thursday,
ten o'clock curfew, you got to stop on the weekends.
Speaker 3: Friday Saturday was eleven o'clock.
Speaker 4: Right, Well, some bands got a little carried away and
wanted to keep going. Oh yeah, and you can't do
that gets expensive?
Speaker 2: Yes, right, because you're paying the fine for the band.
No for the owner. Oh yeah, well does he charged
the band?
Speaker 5: No? Because bands don't have any money.
Speaker 4: Oh gotcha, right, because we're not paying it much to
begin with. Right, there's always an argument at the end
of the night. At least with that place, there was
enough to tell tales out of school. But eleven o'clock,
we're like, we gott to wrap it up, bro, because
like the sound guy, like I was working with. The
sound guy goes, this is at a wedding which I had
just performed earlier, goes, we got to kill the sound
ten to fifty nine. It's got to go all of
a sudden, like they shut the sound down. Bands starts
flipping out. We're like, dude, you want to pay that fine?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 2: What is the find? We know it depends like it does.
Speaker 5: I can tell you what.
Speaker 2: Well do they also give like strike so to speak
you you they give you warnings and to give your warnings. No,
but what I'm saying is some some venues, like in
the city, if they have three problems, they'll shut you down.
With the calendar year, they'll shut you down. I wonder
if it's the same thing.
Speaker 9: I bet you it's the same type of thing. But
I have been on the stage when a venue owner
when I know that there's a hard stop at ten o'clock,
And this happens more on Long Island than anywhere else
because we play a lot of Long Island and they
got a lot of money down there, so they don't care.
But we have been playing and I know that it's
a hard stop at ten o'clock and the owner and
we've gone to stop, and the owners like get you know,
like we're going to ten thirty and I'm just going
to pay them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it probably makes more.
Speaker 9: Oh, the place was packed selling twenty five dollars flights,
you know.
Speaker 3: You know, it really depends on who's who's putting the mill.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Funny, we had like I don't know, probably two thousand
people in a place that holds a thousand people, and
they're selling drinks for five times what they sell him
for up here. Like he was just like, no, we're
making it like, just go Yeah, I don't care what
the fine is, just go.
Speaker 2: Well, just go to BTV, r o C dot com
get your tickets for Dan Burrillo. Very passionate taking on
the Buffalo bills and the signing of James and.
Speaker 5: They got James Cook locked up.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 4: I just thought the deal was a little heavy.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it wrong. I like it.
Speaker 3: I like the passion, but I'm glad, you know, hey, let's.
Speaker 4: Go on to Super Bowl.
Speaker 9: I think I think if he could have just said, uh,
I just bought a house here during that interview, it
would have given him a lot less Yes.
Speaker 2: Yeah for Pete, he's gonna be performing, putting on a
great show Saturday night at BTV in the mall at
Grease Range. I'm Bill Moran. We'll see you tomorrow with
Dannessee
