00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: When your old career gives you lemons throwing some ice

2
00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:06,839
mix in some vodka colored.

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: A podcast from the Mac of All Trade Studio in

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,279
Fairport and driven by Victor Chrysler dots Jee Rahm.

5
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 3: It's Billified, the Bill Moran Podcast.

6
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 4: Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on.

7
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:36,439
Thank you for telling a friend. That's how we spread

8
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:42,880
the word about the pirate ship. Where this camera is,

9
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:44,920
well all up.

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:45,719
Speaker 1: I nose.

11
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,359
Speaker 4: So many things to talk about today. We're gonna have

12
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:53,399
a couple of guests come in and talk about veterans.

13
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,799
But I don't know where to begin because there's been

14
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,359
so many things, Kevin, so many things going on. I

15
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:02,119
will say this, Laura's mug is being put to use.

16
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,280
She gave me a mug last night with the picture

17
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:07,359
that you took of me in your garagio, passed out

18
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:07,879
on the couch.

19
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:09,599
Speaker 5: Oh, your friendly amitting you were passed out.

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:10,079
Speaker 1: I wasn't.

21
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:12,439
Speaker 4: I took a nap. It was a nap. I rested

22
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:15,439
my eyes for like fifteen minutes and maybe less.

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 5: Uh huh.

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 4: There was snoring, probably was, but that doesn't mean anything.

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,079
It's still a nap. I snore when I nap. It happens.

26
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:27,719
Jesus Christ. Yes, I do it for the fans. I know, yeah,

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,640
I know, I understand.

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,359
Speaker 5: All three of them.

29
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:33,879
Speaker 4: Vinny Getty's, yes, viny Getty's is the only fan. He's

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,000
the only guy he calls non stop. I love him.

31
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: Uh.

32
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,159
Speaker 4: Well, might as well start with the wildfires and to

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,200
the point where, uh they're talking about moving the Rams

34
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:51,719
game to Arizona as a contingency, either saying, but I have.

35
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:54,879
Speaker 5: Friends in La and uh is it I heard it's

36
00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:57,599
not because of the fires, but more probably the smoke

37
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,519
in the air quality.

38
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 4: That's exactly what it is, exactly what. It's a fucking mess.

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,480
And it's not anywhere near the stadium. No, it's not.

40
00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:08,120
But if it's almost like insulting to have this game

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,719
as people are like mile a couple miles away are

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,479
literally lost everything. You know, I was saying last night,

43
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,960
the one not that there's any bright spot to this,

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,280
because there's really not, but you had a little bit

45
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:23,080
of warning that if you could get some things to

46
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:26,479
take with you. My parents' house burned down to the

47
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,159
ground and they had you were, you know, people were

48
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,639
lending them clothes and doing all that. I'm not saying

49
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:32,759
that this isn't easy.

50
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,759
Speaker 5: You'm almost trying to get shit out too. Wasn't she

51
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,319
didn't you get dell her from the card?

52
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:36,719
Speaker 1: Yes?

53
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: Yes, and yeah she was.

54
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 5: And and that's why I get Belly's macaroniard from nineteen

55
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:43,879
sixty three.

56
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,479
Speaker 4: This is nineteen sixty three. This is where my point is.

57
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:50,520
I go, that's the stuff that can never be most

58
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,240
of your stuff. Most of your stuff, even if it's

59
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,639
like a special china pattern. It may not be the

60
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,960
one you inherited from Grandma. But maybe you can find

61
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,960
it again, you know what I'm saying. And he and

62
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,680
he got the memory live. It's the stuff that's irreplaceable.

63
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:08,919
It's the pictures, it's the you know, the kid's macaroni art.

64
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,000
As silly as that sounds, it comes down, it gets

65
00:03:11,039 --> 00:03:13,080
hung on the tree once a year. We just had

66
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,919
it up there and now it's gone forever. And that

67
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,520
that to me, is terrible. How this fire started, I

68
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,919
don't know. I I talked to this.

69
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 5: It's always a campfire or a well, a cigarette flicked

70
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,360
out the window.

71
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:26,479
Speaker 4: Somebody.

72
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 5: It's always something somebody. They always said, they always figure

73
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,159
out who it is too. But then you never hear

74
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:35,800
of a trial or anything. Henry Winkler says it's arson.

75
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:39,560
The fire department and is saying it absolutely is not arson.

76
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:43,919
Speaker 4: But man, we are so divided in this country.

77
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,719
Speaker 5: Maybe it was a spark when the Fons hit the

78
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:46,840
jukebox with his elbow.

79
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:50,919
Speaker 4: Well, so then Jamison's telling me that it was two kids,

80
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,080
like with a bottle of hairspray and a lighter or something.

81
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,680
Maybe I don't I haven't heard that. All I know

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,680
is that I did call from into mine who lives

83
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:03,240
in LA. They said that it's a it's a mess,

84
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:03,919
but they're okay.

85
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:04,759
Speaker 1: Uh.

86
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: Some houses are standing, some are not. Why some stay?

87
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:11,759
I don't know. I'm not a fireman. I I you

88
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:12,240
talked to them.

89
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 5: I just saw the conspiracy that all these houses are

90
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,519
burnt to the ground and ash, but the trees are

91
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,959
still sitting there with with leaves on them.

92
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it happens, and sometimes.

93
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 5: Fires give a fuck. It just goes where it wants.

94
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 4: It goes, and it pops over and hot ember flies hits.

95
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 5: The air and that goes four houses down.

96
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,519
Speaker 4: Exactly, and then that that house is on fire and

97
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:36,120
they've been watching.

98
00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:38,639
Speaker 5: You see the video. There was one I saw yesterday

99
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:41,040
there was a guy, a couple of guys in their

100
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,519
house and there was no way for that. That didn't

101
00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:46,439
it was presented as there was no way for them

102
00:04:46,439 --> 00:04:48,560
to get out. I'm assuming they probably could or it

103
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:51,000
was cgat or whatever, but you could see all the

104
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,639
flames around their house. Oh, you're just stuck in their

105
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,639
house trying to figure out what they're gonna do. And

106
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,800
I'm like, if I'm really in this situation and my

107
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,480
so my fucking videotaping, I don't know my memory.

108
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,959
Speaker 4: Somebody else told me said the same thing to me

109
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,879
Danny earlier today, goes, I don't know that I would

110
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:12,279
film it. I don't know it would be I'd.

111
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 5: Be filming the shit in my house real quick, just

112
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,199
so I have it for the insurance company.

113
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 4: But I would do too, And a lot of times

114
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:19,199
the insurance company get eighty cents on the dollar. Then

115
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:24,399
there's people saying that just in November or October November

116
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,040
along the Palisades, they.

117
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 5: Stayed arm dropped all the fire insurance.

118
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's true or not.

119
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,399
Speaker 5: That's one thing they tell you too, is people don't

120
00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:34,879
do it. And had Stephanie sat here and told us.

121
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,240
He goes, make sure you go through your house item

122
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,959
by item and video take a video of just everything,

123
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,240
so if something does happen, you have proof that you

124
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:45,800
had that money on the wall or you had that gift.

125
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 6: Rr.

126
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, because my father when they lost everything, went through

127
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,759
item by item by item. I mean he listed it

128
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,000
all and I don't know how they took it from him,

129
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,319
but I mean he went through and you were getting

130
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,000
eighty cents on the dollar. Most of the stuff, I

131
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,800
think because it's used exactly yep. So it was bicycles,

132
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,360
so it was they'll replace, but you're not going to

133
00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:09,800
get it for the same value. And what a giant

134
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:12,319
pain in the ass that is, you know, so all

135
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,959
that stuff with the fire, but then there's the the

136
00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,319
other side of it that that that's kind of ugly.

137
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,959
So I go to the New York Posts and they

138
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:23,040
have this thing that David Muir from ABC News was

139
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:26,839
reporting on the fire people and he had on he

140
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:31,480
had on, uh a fire jacket, like a fireman's jacket,

141
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,600
but it had the mb ABC logo on there. Now

142
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:37,680
I'm sure that he didn't do that. I think that's

143
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:42,560
standard issue if you meet people from local news they'll

144
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,639
have the local. They have all kinds of jackets right

145
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,600
for that. This is a fire jacket because he's going

146
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,399
to be standing out there, so they're saying he's playing fireman.

147
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,879
But when he turned there was a clothes pin sensing

148
00:06:55,959 --> 00:07:00,480
the jacket. Okay, so it was for him, it may

149
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:05,480
have been, but the whole thing was he's a narcissist.

150
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,560
And it was people like Megan Kelly going, what a narcissist?

151
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,360
This is the So the guys out there reporting on

152
00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:14,000
the fire and I when I saw this, and I

153
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,319
didn't see anybody's response to it yet, but then I

154
00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:22,720
got a whole volume, yes, hours later. But when I

155
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:26,480
first saw it, I go, well, when you do TV news,

156
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,680
a lot of times they'll tell you to sit on

157
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,720
the tail of your jacket so it pulls it tight

158
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:33,160
against your shoulders. It's just a needer look for TV.

159
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:37,480
There's no way if you look at this that David

160
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,800
Muir put a clothespin on the back a producer did.

161
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,720
He probably can't reach there. Do you understand what I'm saying?

162
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,439
Like they're running around, probably do makeup and all. Whatever

163
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,279
it is. It's TV. It's a different thing. Who gives

164
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:52,439
a fuck. But they're saying he wants to show his

165
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,920
felt body, and I'm going, I'm not sure about.

166
00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:56,959
Speaker 5: That because all these talking heads have all their makeup

167
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,560
yea for their podcast or their lives or their TV show.

168
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,800
It was driving me crazy and I'm like, why try

169
00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:05,600
we do it with no makeup?

170
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:05,759
Speaker 4: Here?

171
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 5: Baby?

172
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 4: Why are they coming so hard at this guy? And

173
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:10,600
I because it made no sense to me. I could

174
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,399
give a shit if his jacket said I'm not looking

175
00:08:12,439 --> 00:08:15,279
at his body, I'm looking at the trump huh because

176
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:18,000
he doesn't like that? Okay, Well that I wasn't making

177
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,920
that connection at the time. So I'm seeing this, I go, wow,

178
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:24,199
that's it's strange. And I thought one other reason to

179
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:28,839
since the jacket is they had which helped fan the

180
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:32,320
flames of this fire. One hundred mile an hour winds. Okay,

181
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,200
nobody's fault for a hundred miles. Who do you blame

182
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,320
for ae hundred mile an hour wins?

183
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 7: God?

184
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: Okay? Other than that, I don't know who to blame.

185
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:43,440
So he's if you have that big fire jacket and

186
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,000
it's flappy and you're trying to report and it's making

187
00:08:47,039 --> 00:08:50,799
noise on the microphone, it's added noise and already a

188
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,000
noisy environment, so to sense the jacket made sense to me.

189
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:57,360
That was what my thought was. Everybody else is saying,

190
00:08:57,759 --> 00:09:01,120
I mean narcissist, asshole. Meg and Kelly and a friend

191
00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:03,759
of ours was like, did you see? I was like,

192
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,039
oh my god, you gotta be kidding me, because who

193
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,000
gives a shit. But there's people who are homeless that

194
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,039
the lives are pretty much altered. You know, you know,

195
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,360
where are you going? Man?

196
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 5: That's like where you go saying Jim Cantore is a

197
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,440
narcissists are wearing fucking fishing boots when he's reporting on

198
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,639
a hurricane. It's got eight feet of fucking water. It's just, oh,

199
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:26,159
he just gotta keep it well.

200
00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 4: This was because he sensed the jacket. They said it

201
00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:31,440
was to show off his felt frame. I don't know

202
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,440
that it was shown. I really thought it was to

203
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:36,000
keep it from flapping around and maybe to make him

204
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,840
look neater on TV.

205
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 5: I don't fucking know.

206
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,879
Speaker 4: I would have never entered my head, It would have

207
00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:43,039
never entered anybody's head had he not turned. And then

208
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,799
somebody instantly sees it. We're looking at anything to jump on.

209
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,480
Where I missed the eighties so much. Let me tell

210
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:51,639
you something we are so nobody gave a shit in

211
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,320
the eighties. Let me tell you how divided we are. Okay,

212
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,720
So there's one thing. And then I realized that they

213
00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:01,679
said he did not fact a Kamala when he hosted

214
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,879
the debate, but he kept fact checking Trump. That that's

215
00:10:04,919 --> 00:10:07,799
what was read there. I don't know if that's true. Maybe, Okay,

216
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,159
then I go, let me see what these other what's

217
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,440
being said on each side of the aisle. Fox News

218
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:24,200
did a whole thing breaking down President Jimmy Carter's state funeral. Okay,

219
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,000
so you had all this presidents okay, and Obama sat

220
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,559
next to Trump, and Obama and Trump were talking like

221
00:10:32,759 --> 00:10:33,799
having a full on converce.

222
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 5: That was the other video I saw. It was the

223
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,559
kamalisit in the front and.

224
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:42,039
Speaker 4: Kamala sitting in I don't know if she was. At

225
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:44,360
one point they said she turned around. We're going to

226
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:47,000
bring in a body a body language like why are

227
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,120
we looking to stir shiit up? You had two guys

228
00:10:51,159 --> 00:10:55,279
on either side of the aisle, politically Republican Democrat sat

229
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,600
next to each other and had a long and what

230
00:10:57,759 --> 00:11:01,240
looked like a friendly conversation. What the fuck are you

231
00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:03,679
gonna do? You were in a church, you're at a

232
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,240
state funeral. You're gonna turn around and start going, hey.

233
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,279
Speaker 5: Man, how come Kamala got better seats than the.

234
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 4: Proubles because she's the current office and there has beans.

235
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:15,919
Speaker 5: I don't know Trumo, he should have been any altar.

236
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 4: No, but do you understand what I'm saying? Like we're

237
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,480
looking for shit, We're looking for things.

238
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 5: That's why I I I'm starting to believe that.

239
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:29,879
Speaker 4: If we had a war here, all that shit would end.

240
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,120
Since we don't we look for wars. We look we

241
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,840
we create wars, will create a right left war.

242
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 5: Well remember like the three or four months after nine

243
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,879
to eleven, it was everybody loved America, everything was great,

244
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:45,480
and then it just went right back to shiite.

245
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,879
Speaker 4: You're right, I have no idea. It just it kind

246
00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:51,320
of bothered me on all fronts because I go, the

247
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,639
bottom line is there's a fire. Who's fault is it?

248
00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:57,279
I don't know, Like I said last night on the podcast,

249
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,799
and Kevin did a little research with somebody he knows

250
00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:02,840
who was in a local fire department. I don't know

251
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,559
what seventeen point six million being cut from the LA

252
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,919
Fire budget means it could be online training stuff, it

253
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:09,600
could be anything.

254
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,799
Speaker 5: We like my buddy said, their budget is about eight

255
00:12:12,919 --> 00:12:15,879
hundred and thirty six million dollars for the year. Yeah,

256
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,600
so seventeen point five is a drop in the bucket

257
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:19,919
on that.

258
00:12:21,159 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know it just it.

259
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,399
Speaker 5: Equates to the Fairport Fire Department going away in Pittsford

260
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,919
taking over, taking holding their calls, right, and that would

261
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,559
make a little bit of heead, but it was.

262
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 4: It was. It's just amazing how a fire where people's

263
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,600
lives are altered, kicking and I get it, and it's political.

264
00:12:38,879 --> 00:12:42,080
I will say this nineteen seventy three. I said it

265
00:12:42,159 --> 00:12:44,919
last night. And here's why I said it. Fifty one

266
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,399
years ago, I was in LA I was two years old.

267
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,559
My uncle lived in Los Angeles along a canyon. It

268
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,000
was a fire coming down. They went out with garden hoses.

269
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,440
Sounds silly, but there was somebody who died. Somebody had

270
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,320
died was still holding a garden hose out in law.

271
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,799
So they were wedding down the land. The fire was

272
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,799
contained before it ever got that far up the canyon. However,

273
00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:11,159
I mean, the thing is, it's been fifty one years,

274
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,720
you would think there would be some kind of city

275
00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:19,840
wide Hey man, this is an annual problem or a

276
00:13:19,879 --> 00:13:22,960
semi annual problem we're having, or a couple times a

277
00:13:23,039 --> 00:13:26,480
year that we're having in terms of fires, that you

278
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,320
would have the reservoirs ready, you would have fire train.

279
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:32,559
I don't know. I don't know what you do. It's

280
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,759
crazy to me because it's almost like you can't predict

281
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:35,840
which way the wind's gonna go.

282
00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 5: It's also tough to have a reservoir when you don't

283
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,120
have rain.

284
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,519
Speaker 4: Well. I think they have some full ones now because

285
00:13:42,519 --> 00:13:46,039
it's been a fairly wet fall for them. They had

286
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:48,399
a lot of rain. But you're right, and so I

287
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,919
don't know, but it is kind of weird. After fifty years,

288
00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:53,799
it's pretty much the same problem. That's half a century,

289
00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:56,080
and you would think, with the technology and things, could

290
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,320
we figure it out. I don't know. I don't know

291
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,159
that it's a political thing. I don't know anybody on

292
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,159
either side wants to lose their home. I don't know

293
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,200
that would be my thing. I'll tell you this though

294
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,840
I didn't. I did do a little research because you know,

295
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,679
this is the time of year where people start putting

296
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,600
space heaters in places, and one of the things that

297
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:20,200
could potentially start a fire, probably not if you have

298
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,600
a good uh circuit system in your house, but it'll

299
00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:25,559
blow a circuit or blow a fuse for you.

300
00:14:25,679 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 5: That's all the time of the graadge for me is Oh,

301
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,600
it does when we're out there, like when we kind

302
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,120
of close the graduate but we usually do like a

303
00:14:32,159 --> 00:14:35,559
neighborhood Thanksgiving. Yeah, so we it usually it's it's chili

304
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,759
out there, but we'll leave the we'll close the gradite door.

305
00:14:38,159 --> 00:14:39,759
We'll put a couple of spacers out there and we

306
00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:41,759
get two or three out there, yeah, just to keep

307
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:43,960
it warming up. So we could sit out there and

308
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,840
inevitably one of them will trip.

309
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, because because they're more power than what's available on

310
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,080
that cord or extension cord. If you're going right to

311
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:56,240
the wall, you should be fine. But sometimes even in

312
00:14:56,279 --> 00:14:57,919
your garage, if you're gonna have one on the other side,

313
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,879
you don't have a plug there. It's your door that

314
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,919
lifts up and down normally, so if you put one,

315
00:15:02,039 --> 00:15:03,559
it's going to be on an extension cord and they're

316
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:05,600
not powerful enough. And that's where a lot of people

317
00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:08,559
because you'll see how many fires have we had around

318
00:15:08,559 --> 00:15:10,799
here that you've heard, like, hey, there was a six

319
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:12,799
alarm or three line. I don't know what the alarms are,

320
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,000
but whatever, it was a terrible fire. And it's usually

321
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,480
because of this. So if you have things like if

322
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,320
you got a gift of an air fire plug it

323
00:15:21,399 --> 00:15:24,759
directly in, don't put it to a extension cord because

324
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:26,960
it'll either keep blowing the fuse for you or it's

325
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,159
gonna potentially start a fire. That's it. There's your PSA

326
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,000
for t that's.

327
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,519
Speaker 5: Gonna be one of your new go to phrases for

328
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:39,279
your next coaster. I've done some research, you say that

329
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:39,759
a lot.

330
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:42,919
Speaker 4: I didn't no idea that well, I did some research. Yeah,

331
00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:46,120
avoid plugging in the extension cords because the thing is

332
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,159
it takes too much. Yeah, A fourteen twelve gage extension

333
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,840
cords are some of the most common extension cords sold,

334
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:54,720
with fourteen gauge extension cord being able to handle roughly.

335
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,519
Speaker 5: Look, which is why I gotta talk to my guy.

336
00:15:57,559 --> 00:15:59,240
I gotta talk to my guy. I gotta talk to

337
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,639
my guy Mac. I need to get some spend four

338
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,399
years since we've been in the basement working, and we're

339
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,279
running off of a bunch of extension cords into a

340
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,320
couple of outlets. So work.

341
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're new, but you're not doing a heater

342
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:13,039
so no, but you're running computers anything with a heating element.

343
00:16:13,039 --> 00:16:15,120
Though you're right, you know it's those things too, but

344
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,720
anything with a heating element could really eventually short out

345
00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:20,840
or cause you a fire. Saying you don't want to

346
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,440
be in that situation at all. And here's the thing

347
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,120
that I keep saying, and I'm sorry to repeat myself,

348
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,120
but the difference in LA like people have a fire,

349
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:35,000
it's that house usually, right, this is an entire neighborhood

350
00:16:35,039 --> 00:16:39,000
and everybody's homeless now, and everybody is looking to go

351
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,440
somewhere do something. I'm like, how do you even find space?

352
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:46,279
And you know in a vacant hotel room? You going

353
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:49,039
to San Francisco, You've got to be leaving the city completely.

354
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: Do you want a baby? I lost my house. Let's

355
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:57,159
go to the Dokey Show. Maybe I'll be the pride

356
00:16:57,159 --> 00:16:57,519
this time.

357
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:00,279
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe?

358
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 5: Uh.

359
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 4: An old friend if many years ago on the radio

360
00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:06,599
was a guy named Simon the Grump. He would call

361
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,599
up and he would grump about things he was an

362
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:12,839
older cat and uh he had a friend named Sarge

363
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,000
Mitchell and Sarge was in Afghanistan, I believe, and we

364
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:20,839
could get the story from him. I think might have

365
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:27,359
been hit and as a result lost a testicle. I

366
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,200
know that sounds ridiculous, but I think there was a

367
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:35,880
number a testicle. I think, Yes, I need two arms.

368
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,400
I like, I'm used to two arms.

369
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 5: I'm used to two balls.

370
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I could get a fake one in there.

371
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,480
I don't want to. Yeah, I can get a newticle

372
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,480
and no one would know, you know what I'm saying.

373
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,680
And no one's going to see it. I'm not saying that.

374
00:17:47,839 --> 00:17:49,720
No one's going to see the ball itself to know

375
00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:52,039
it's fake. They're going to see it behind in the pouch.

376
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,759
Who knows if it's a marble or if it's real.

377
00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:58,839
You know what I'm saying. Ball's extra hard. But I

378
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,000
used to call him a nutty guy. But they have

379
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,400
something with veterans that they are working on and wanted

380
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,039
to come in here and talk about. So we will

381
00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:11,559
get to that and another research Kevin's fault. But this one,

382
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,000
the phrase shitting your brains out not exactly accurate. We'll

383
00:18:16,039 --> 00:18:19,079
get to all that right after this, BETB would fire

for a long time.

463
00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:13,559

00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,799
old guy and nobody knew there was somebody he knew.

497
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,200
He knew everything, but nobody knew who he was, and

498
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,359
he would grump and he would just tell facts and

499
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,880
people would hate him. And I think I seen him

500
00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:56,400
still do viewing something, and I said, you know what,

501
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,920
I need some help because in the veteran community, there's

502
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,079
some things going on and I don't know how to

503
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,519
present these things that are being presented to me.

504
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 4: Where do we meet you, like twenty ten?

505
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,519
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, it was right, It was out.

506
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 4: There two thousand and myself or you t oh, yeah, somewhere.

507
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 3: I can't remember yesterday.

508
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: I can't remember when exactly it was because it was

509
00:25:21,039 --> 00:25:23,279
during a rough time where I was going through a

510
00:25:23,319 --> 00:25:26,279
lot of surgeries. Yeah yeah, and it was my first

511
00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:27,720
time being able to come home.

512
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 4: And the military, that's right, didn't we talk to you

513
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:31,400
in the hospital?

514
00:25:31,559 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, the military wouldn't have proved me to come home.

515
00:25:34,319 --> 00:25:38,480
And I found that if I made, you know, if

516
00:25:38,599 --> 00:25:40,680
the community, you know, not made the community, but if

517
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,839
the community helped me, wanted me, supported me to come

518
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,960
back to my family, they couldn't say no. So that's

519
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
what the community did, and I got to come home.

520
00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:50,319
And I appreciate it.

521
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 5: So you were an act part of that.

522
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I was. I guess. I don't know when

523
00:25:57,759 --> 00:26:00,200
you're still holding them to it. Yeah, I am. But

524
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,240
let me ask you. You were in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iraq, okay,

525
00:26:04,599 --> 00:26:08,079
and hit by what happened over.

526
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,319
Speaker 1: There, it's the percussion. So ultimately what had happened was

527
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,200
when we were talking about it back in the day,

528
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,839
was I ended up losing my left testicle?

529
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 4: No, I know that, but now that's that's the crux

530
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:20,960
of it.

531
00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 6: Okay, were you.

532
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: No, from just from a blast and a percussion blast,

533
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,559
that's all it was. But it was all in turn,

534
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,400
like nobody knew what was going on. Nobody knew anything

535
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,119
was ruptured. Nobody knew anything was happening. I didn't even

536
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,440
know either until you start things start happening where you know,

537
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,480
your legs starts getting warm and you know, use the

538
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,359
European blood. Those kind of things happened.

539
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 4: So your testicle ruptured. Yeah, as part of the vibration

540
00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:47,160
of this.

541
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,039
Speaker 1: From the yeah, right, absolutely, from.

542
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 4: The vibration, just that that vibrations.

543
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: Scrub over here like it's like a percussion, it's like

544
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:54,839
going it's.

545
00:26:56,519 --> 00:26:57,599
Speaker 4: Yes, inside you.

546
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:58,839
Speaker 3: And you don't.

547
00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 7: But you don't see anything, see.

548
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:04,599
Speaker 4: Anything right, and you're wondering what happened? So that is

549
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,680
that a specific type of weapon that does that?

550
00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean, just just like.

551
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this. If I went to a

552
00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:16,000
Motley Cruise show and stood too close to the air,

553
00:27:16,759 --> 00:27:17,839
could I rupture a ball?

554
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,519
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that it can happen. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

555
00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:25,039
Speaker 4: I think so. When you go to these concerts, fell.

556
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,599
Speaker 3: For those concerts, you know that was the best either.

557
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,799
Speaker 1: That's the best part talking about And that's why I

558
00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:32,559
tell a lot of better it's talking to find one.

559
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,000
I know, nothing is funny in life. Nothing is funny.

560
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,640
But if you find one one thing that you can

561
00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:39,960
like with the boys, say, you know that's it's a

562
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,880
lot of things happened to me. But I always tell

563
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,720
the story about my nuts, you.

564
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,839
Speaker 4: Know, the one we called him, one nutty guy, such

565
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,839
a ball to be around.

566
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: And then I was talking to you guys when I

567
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,480
when I actually lost the first testicle because I told

568
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,359
the doctor, I said, this is not mine, this is

569
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,759
not for me. I do not have you see me.

570
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,480
I said, this is not for me, this is for me.

571
00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 5: It's too big, and they tried to give you a

572
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:06,920
brother to yeah.

573
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: It no, it was. It came out and I actually

574
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,960
gave it back to that's when I was talking to

575
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,440
you guys, and I said, hey, I'm going to get

576
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,079
the new one now, guys. And it fills me up.

577
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:17,799
It fills it right.

578
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,279
Speaker 4: But they had they did a number of surgeries.

579
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,599
Speaker 1: I'm actually going for number fifty one here.

580
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,519
Speaker 4: Why what is the surgery on?

581
00:28:24,599 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: Sorry, man, this one is supposed to be life changing. Actually,

582
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:28,680
I'm kind of scared it's going to be the biggest

583
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,880
one yet. But I'm very very happy to get it done.

584
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,480
So they found out I have a growth in my

585
00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:36,720
spinal column that is pushing a double scoliosis in my spine.

586
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,920
It's pushing the top of my spine into you have

587
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,240
that little circle part you know where your skull comes

588
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,839
down your opening. Well, mine is going up and into it.

589
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,160
And they said it's been debilitating me for about five

590
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,640
six years or estimating. So they said that this is

591
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,160
something that needs to happen.

592
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,519
Speaker 4: Why as a result of I.

593
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,759
Speaker 1: Haven't looked too much in it, but it seems like this,

594
00:28:56,759 --> 00:29:01,240
this arthritic growth can come from injuries.

595
00:29:01,119 --> 00:29:04,559
Speaker 4: Blown up inside well that's what I'm wondering. I'm being

596
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,880
serious injuries.

597
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,599
Speaker 1: They said, my dad was looking some things up, and

598
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,720
you know, back injuries, back surgeries. It could develop someone

599
00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:13,920
on the spinal column. I guess that's a normal something

600
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,000
that happens, and a lot of veterans, I guess case

601
00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:18,319
study shows that they've had it. They've lived a great

602
00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:19,240
life afterwards.

603
00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 4: You know.

604
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,359
Speaker 1: But you you this ain't is going up into my

605
00:29:22,519 --> 00:29:25,640
it's pushing my spine up into my skull. And that's

606
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:26,000
the part.

607
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,079
Speaker 4: So that could be from the blast.

608
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,039
Speaker 1: Still like, no, I mean no, this I think is

609
00:29:31,039 --> 00:29:33,680
all from this arthritic growth. I mean this is that

610
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,079
I've never I never had this, bef. There's no scans

611
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,319
or anything that showed this at all. So this is

612
00:29:40,359 --> 00:29:42,720
not this is something I developed since I've been home,

613
00:29:43,079 --> 00:29:46,640
since surgeries and all that, all right, but this this

614
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,240
is fifty one. Yeah, just random things here and there.

615
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:51,799
And they're trying to say it. But they're trying to

616
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:54,480
say now part of the I do too, I'm with you,

617
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:56,799
eye Well they're trying. They're they're trying to tell me

618
00:29:56,839 --> 00:29:59,519
that it's when they're spinal cord or you know, whatever

619
00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:02,680
is push it's almost playing piano in there. So like

620
00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:05,720
I've had such bad kidney stones where I'm like giving birth.

621
00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:08,480
I have no markers in my body for it, no one,

622
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,640
you know, for like gout, calcium build up, like there's

623
00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:14,480
everything I've happened, and and and victno do everything that

624
00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:16,720
I've happened. They've always told me. They said, we don't

625
00:30:16,759 --> 00:30:19,200
know why does this happened, And there's no reason for this, X,

626
00:30:19,319 --> 00:30:21,039
Y and Z. We've done tests for this and there's

627
00:30:21,079 --> 00:30:22,880
nothing for it. So they're thinking that this has just

628
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,559
been playing piano on the brain, you know what I mean,

629
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,400
just throwing signals around because of the stuff doesn't make

630
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,680
any sense what has been happened. I'm thirty six. The

631
00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:34,880
stuff I've had to go through, little things going going septic, things,

632
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,960
reversing my bile duct reverse the you know what I

633
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,559
mean last year, two years ago, Yeah, last year, I

634
00:30:39,559 --> 00:30:40,039
think it was.

635
00:30:40,279 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 4: It reversed so it was going back up eight to your.

636
00:30:43,319 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was, oh, it was horrible, Yeah it was.

637
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:46,839
It was some of the worst stuffs. And then I

638
00:30:46,839 --> 00:30:48,640
got fake stuff put in that side, and you know,

639
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,079
it took out this and did that, and it was

640
00:30:52,279 --> 00:30:55,599
I never never ended spinal cord stimulator, you know what

641
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,359
I mean, all that stuff that I had done. It's

642
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,799
just I've been through the through the VA system so

643
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,000
much much. It's like, man, I just.

644
00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 4: Well it sounds like a lot of this is I

645
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,079
think I'll be a derivative.

646
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: I admit that, and they don't know what to do

647
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:12,119
about it.

648
00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 6: I mean the rest of his life, this kid's going

649
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,119
to have these problems every little piece that was inside.

650
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,119
Speaker 7: Of him boom.

651
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:22,559
Speaker 3: But I'm thinking I can't even fetom that.

652
00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: I do have the top neurosurgeon here in our area

653
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,839
that did take the case. The VA was very surprised

654
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,559
that when I said the doctor's name, that that they

655
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,480
you know, that called me the neuro they're not the neurologists. Sorry,

656
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,200
he was like are you sure? I said, oh no,

657
00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:39,680
and she said, well that's the head of neurology, and

658
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,400
that's amazing that he's taking the case. Then I looked

659
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,599
it up and I said, well he only does really babies,

660
00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:47,119
you know, kids, stuff like that. It's very intricate. I'm like,

661
00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:48,599
oh boy, that now I can look at it one

662
00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:50,799
of two ways. Thanking he's he sas a vet. He

663
00:31:50,839 --> 00:31:53,160
wants to take care of him, or it's so intricate,

664
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,200
the big guy's got to do it. But either way,

665
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,920
I feel like I'm in good.

666
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 4: Let's go with that one.

667
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: I am blessed in that manner because if this is

668
00:32:03,039 --> 00:32:04,720
gonna help me, I think, if this is going to

669
00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:07,200
change my life is what they're trying. They're telling me

670
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,000
that this is they've never seen somebody able, body like

671
00:32:10,039 --> 00:32:12,400
somebody like me who can walk around golf try to

672
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,839
do all these things with what I have going on.

673
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:17,839
Speaker 4: Okay, so they so they go, if we don't take

674
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,200
it out, you're going to turn into Simon.

675
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna.

676
00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:24,319
Speaker 4: What are you gonna tell me? Simon trained?

677
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 3: I trained him, well, I did. I'm proud of him.

678
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 7: I am. I gave him a plateform.

679
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,559
Speaker 4: How long have you had that Steelers jacket?

680
00:32:34,839 --> 00:32:37,079
Speaker 3: Probably older than Jackson?

681
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would think so. Yeah. Me and Joe Green,

682
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,400
I love that you. I forgot you were a Steelers

683
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,599
fan until you walked in here.

684
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 6: I was gonna wear my Trump hat. Yeah, it seems

685
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,599
I was wearing my Steelers jacket. I didn't want to

686
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:54,319
go out with them.

687
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, golf Steeler, that's fine.

688
00:32:56,319 --> 00:32:59,119
Speaker 6: I walked into a little bar here just before we

689
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,759
came here just to get that little shot of guinness

690
00:33:01,759 --> 00:33:04,960
into me. And uh, they were looking at me like

691
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,920
I was a freaking alien.

692
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 4: Because you had Steelers gear on. Well, yeah, it's from

693
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:09,759
the west side.

694
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 5: I get the same look.

695
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,119
Speaker 3: I get the same there's no other side.

696
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:16,319
Speaker 5: Every time I go into up Connors they give me.

697
00:33:16,319 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 6: Then, if Dave Keane didn't tell me there was an

698
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,559
each side, I'd never know when I lived here all

699
00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:20,960
my life.

700
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:24,519
Speaker 1: That's the truth.

701
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,119
Speaker 4: So serge, what are we What are we talking about?

702
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,359
Since you were you know, what are you doing today? What? What?

703
00:33:31,359 --> 00:33:32,160
What's your job?

704
00:33:32,319 --> 00:33:37,359
Speaker 1: So now I'm just I'm I graduated from Fort Grump

705
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,759
University and now I just I'm just advocating for the vets.

706
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,000
I just realized that we need to have a voice.

707
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,160
And I believe that the veterans over the years have

708
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,000
have been trusted. Uh and you know, they've given me

709
00:33:51,039 --> 00:33:53,000
their trust and they they've given me.

710
00:33:53,559 --> 00:33:56,839
Speaker 4: When you say advocate for them, what what's not happening?

711
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,920
What do we we don't know as civilians with the

712
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:07,160
people who went and served in places like Afghanistan for

713
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,039
a long time, people who have served in Iraq.

714
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: I think the first thing is comes to care here locally,

715
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,519
we got a little bit of an issue with the

716
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:23,599
VA as far as care. We're having to do our

717
00:34:23,639 --> 00:34:26,000
own care management, you know, as far as when we

718
00:34:26,039 --> 00:34:30,119
go to the primary care. We're not getting the proper

719
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:33,079
follow ups that we need to because they're so overloaded

720
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:35,719
and a lot of those at the VA at our

721
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,199
VA system here. So and at the same time, I

722
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,880
have somebody in my family, my stepsister, that is going

723
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,519
through trying to get a job at the VA. She's

724
00:34:43,559 --> 00:34:46,679
going through USA jobs, couldn't find anything, couldn't get any

725
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:49,239
response back. So she went there old school style with

726
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,679
you know, some cookies and in the next day with something,

727
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,239
and then all of a sudden she's getting a call back,

728
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,159
she's getting an interview, she's you know, getting help. And

729
00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:57,960
she's been in the industry for a while. She just

730
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,360
wants to help out, doesn't want to retire. We have

731
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,840
all these you know, new trainees in the medical field

732
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,480
here that need a job when they get out. We

733
00:35:06,559 --> 00:35:09,320
need to find how we can get them directly into

734
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,719
our VA system because we're losing them to an urgent

735
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,960
Karen Binghamton or something that can get them a job

736
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,480
immediately and Uh, it's just not fair to us because

737
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,400
unlike the other insurance companies we have to go through

738
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,880
you know, most of us have to go through the

739
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,480
VA or pay out a pocket and we can't just

740
00:35:25,519 --> 00:35:28,199
go find another doctor. You know, we have our primary care.

741
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,960
You know, we can get referred out community care. But

742
00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:34,840
I think they're just so overloaded that it's not fair.

743
00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 4: So hot So when you say advocate, what what can

744
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,639
civilians do to help that?

745
00:35:41,199 --> 00:35:44,119
Speaker 1: So as far as as far well, yeah, as.

746
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 4: Far as I'll pay, I'll throw a couple of dollars

747
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:48,679
in the ego.

748
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: GROM as far as far as that's concerned.

749
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 3: You know, the first time I got paid for it, that's.

750
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,519
Speaker 4: Just believing the veteran right.

751
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: We just we just are starting to get together this

752
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,480
year and start to a little coalition to try to

753
00:36:01,519 --> 00:36:04,360
get the trust back in the community, in the hands

754
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,920
of the veterans, because I believe that if the community,

755
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:11,000
the community doesn't have too many people to trust. Nowadays,

756
00:36:11,039 --> 00:36:13,079
there's not a lot of things that are positive where

757
00:36:13,079 --> 00:36:16,000
they can believe, you know, say Democrat or Republican. You know,

758
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,239
there's so many groups out there, but there's one thing

759
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,400
that true Americans can trust and believe in. And that's

760
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,599
us veterans to whether it's run for office, whether it's

761
00:36:24,639 --> 00:36:27,519
tell them what veteran organizations, you know, do the best

762
00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:30,920
for us and what things that we need? You know,

763
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,760
where where can them tax dollars, them donation dollars? Where

764
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,400
else should it go besides the big organizations that have

765
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:39,719
so much marketing that of course they're going to get

766
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,400
the most money. But are they doing the most for

767
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,559
the veterans and you know, the boots on ground style veterans.

768
00:36:45,519 --> 00:36:48,079
They shouldn't be telling us what to do with you know,

769
00:36:48,199 --> 00:36:51,239
million dollars that come in. You know, how about a

770
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,480
knitting class and a rowing in this? But did you

771
00:36:53,519 --> 00:36:56,320
ask anybody, are you guys just doing this because your

772
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,239
buddy you know, has a knitting you know, supply store,

773
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,679
and you're just giving them, you know, the money. You know,

774
00:37:01,679 --> 00:37:07,440
It's like, hang on a second, we're not being do

775
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:08,400
they do with the money?

776
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 4: Do they say things like PTSD knitting could help? And

777
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,280
I and I only say, and here's what I'm thinking

778
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,800
they're saying. First of all, not many men are gonna

779
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:21,199
want to knit.

780
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,599
Speaker 1: I don't believe a lot of females wanting it nowadays.

781
00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 4: Either Okay, shot, that may have been sexist of me,

782
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,719
you would, absolutely, I know, but these guys do and

783
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,079
uh oh well no, But I'm just wondering if they

784
00:37:37,079 --> 00:37:39,239
thought it was a therapeutic thing. And I'm with you,

785
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,440
I'd rather see something that's gonna be more mass appeal.

786
00:37:43,639 --> 00:37:48,159
I think knitting almost comes with a visceral reaction to it, like, well.

787
00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: I think we just we just want to see it

788
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,039
at the table. You know, we're I think we're to

789
00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:54,000
the point now that we want to change it to

790
00:37:54,039 --> 00:37:55,760
the point where we have a seat at the table.

791
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,679
We we want to be represented as actual boots on

792
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:04,000
ground veterans. Okay, and we're not to have well we're

793
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,960
unless you're in the know. Yeah, you're not. Not unless

794
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,639
you're in the know, unless you go. I mean, there's

795
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,519
only so many open dialogue groups that we have that

796
00:38:12,639 --> 00:38:16,519
aren't politicized or people feel some type of way because

797
00:38:16,599 --> 00:38:19,400
of the organizations that are holding it. If that makes sense,

798
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,400
you know, the people aren't going to be outspoken and

799
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,239
do it. That's why I was looking into finding out

800
00:38:24,639 --> 00:38:26,679
how I can do have my own platform, you know,

801
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,440
as combat news podcasts or something, because a lot of

802
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,199
the veterans come to me, and if I can just

803
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,599
inspire more veterans to speak up about the same issues

804
00:38:34,639 --> 00:38:36,639
that they're coming to me about that I speak up about.

805
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,639
Speaker 4: Give me, give me an issue that they're coming to

806
00:38:38,679 --> 00:38:42,599
you about. Just one that because and the reason I

807
00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:46,400
asked that is, if I'm listening or I'm watching this,

808
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,519
I don't and I'm and I don't have a military

809
00:38:49,559 --> 00:38:52,880
member in my family, but I certainly would support the military,

810
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,400
and I'm all, you know, I want everything to be

811
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,639
the best for them. What is an issue that we're

812
00:38:58,639 --> 00:39:01,800
not aware of? Because what happens is we see somebody

813
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,400
in uniform. And it's not uncommon that if you walked

814
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,840
in in uniform and you went to a coffee shop

815
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,400
that somebody ahead of you pays for your coffee. Nice.

816
00:39:10,559 --> 00:39:13,079
It's a nice thing, and you know, no big deal.

817
00:39:13,639 --> 00:39:16,760
But it's the guy who no longer wears the uniform

818
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:19,519
but still has all the effects of everything that went

819
00:39:19,519 --> 00:39:21,400
on while he was in the uniform. Yeah, and we

820
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,119
don't know because he walks among us and we don't know.

821
00:39:25,519 --> 00:39:28,760
And we're not in that system, right. Anybody, you bring

822
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,840
up healthcare, like I know somebody who just went to

823
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,760
a doctor the other day, gets there and is told

824
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,599
we no longer take this insurance. They just got a

825
00:39:37,639 --> 00:39:41,000
new insurance company and the appointment was made six months

826
00:39:41,039 --> 00:39:43,360
ago to get into this doctor, right, because that's how

827
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,440
long the waiting is for some specialists and things. And

828
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,159
then you find out that your insurance isn't taken, and

829
00:39:49,199 --> 00:39:51,079
what do you do and what do you do right?

830
00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:54,000
And so that that becomes that's a relatable thing, I

831
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,480
think for a lot of people. But what are the

832
00:39:55,519 --> 00:39:58,119
issues that they're confronted with most?

833
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,519
Speaker 1: I think besides the besides health, I think it's it's

834
00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:03,480
them trying to get the help when they need, when

835
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,320
they fall on hard times. I think I'm hearing a

836
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,280
lot of that. You know, when a lot of veterans there,

837
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,840
they go through the drug addiction, alcohol addiction, back and forth.

838
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,280
You know, they're good for a little bit, they get help,

839
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,360
but after a while, they end up getting booted. They

840
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,760
end up getting kicked out, They end up being because

841
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,000
of them relapsing or whatnot, just thrown to the curb.

842
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,079
When we have we have enough room, we were not

843
00:40:29,079 --> 00:40:31,239
supposed to we should, you know, leave no man behind.

844
00:40:32,039 --> 00:40:33,880
There's a lot of veterans that are coming forth to

845
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,639
me now that want to speak up about them being

846
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,039
you know, booted out of organizations or being told that

847
00:40:41,199 --> 00:40:43,440
you know, they can only get help on certain days

848
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,079
at certain times. And the person running that you know,

849
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,480
running you know to get the help is actually a civilian.

850
00:40:49,519 --> 00:40:51,360
It's not even a veteran that's there to help them.

851
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,079
So those are the kind of things that we we

852
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:57,760
need to get back to going to the small organizations.

853
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,480
We have small organizations around here that we can get

854
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,559
help immediately. We can get help. I mean there's compeer Core,

855
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,360
there's you know us that at Combat News that you know,

856
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,559
the Rochester, you know veterans. We anytime we have an issue.

857
00:41:10,639 --> 00:41:14,119
We we've had people who don't have Christmas gifts Thanksgiving,

858
00:41:14,679 --> 00:41:16,679
you know, uh Simon knows about it.

859
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 6: Can I jump in on me one it was I

860
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,519
think two years ago or Serge sent me a picture

861
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:25,159
of what the.

862
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 3: VOC had in their food pantry. It was around thanksgimming.

863
00:41:30,039 --> 00:41:30,760
It was appalled.

864
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 6: A woman went in to get some food and a

865
00:41:36,039 --> 00:41:38,400
service member went in to get some food and they

866
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,039
offered her a bag.

867
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 4: Of rice.

868
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:42,199
Speaker 7: Beans.

869
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 4: That's all they that.

870
00:41:43,199 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 3: I went freaking ballistic.

871
00:41:45,639 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 4: Was he nobody knows, right because.

872
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:48,039
Speaker 1: They knew.

873
00:41:49,559 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 3: The VOC found out, Yes, but because I went bonkers.

874
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 4: Well good, I mean that's good. But but they think

875
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,440
about food pantries and things that we give and churches

876
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,239
give and you can go to the church and all that,

877
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,079
but you're not thinking of the VOC. So I think

878
00:42:06,519 --> 00:42:09,280
probably what you're saying is trying to make that stuff

879
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:09,880
top of mind.

880
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, yeah, we need to connect. And I think

881
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,440
that the organizations, the big organizations like the VOC, like

882
00:42:16,599 --> 00:42:19,440
you know, uh, you know, any any organization, you know,

883
00:42:19,559 --> 00:42:22,000
especially I think especially the VOC, a lot of people have,

884
00:42:22,119 --> 00:42:24,079
you know, a love hate relationship. I think it's one

885
00:42:24,079 --> 00:42:26,800
of the best things that can be here in Monroe County.

886
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,639
But I mean it's absolutely But I believe that a

887
00:42:29,639 --> 00:42:32,000
lot of veterans feel that they don't have a voice,

888
00:42:32,039 --> 00:42:34,840
and they feel that that if we all connected as

889
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,719
one and you know, as having a voice, that we

890
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,920
can we can be an example for all the state,

891
00:42:41,119 --> 00:42:44,280
all the all the United States of how how veterans,

892
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,199
how a county can take care of the veterans, and

893
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,239
they can be started right at the top because we

894
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,280
have the great county that supports us. We have the

895
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,199
great community that supports us. After that is the is

896
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,440
the Veterans Outreach Center, which has all the programs, all

897
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,960
the you know, works and networking and marketing. And then

898
00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:02,400
you get all the other little organizations and we all

899
00:43:02,599 --> 00:43:04,800
everybody has their own NIS, just like when we're in

900
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,320
the military. But I feel that it gets too much

901
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,760
of the who who needs the money or I can

902
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,639
get the money for these programs. We can do this

903
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,400
here when the same program for one place might not

904
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,840
work for the other. And and we need to come

905
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,920
to you know, come to a common you know, common

906
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,000
ground here and get at the same get on the

907
00:43:22,039 --> 00:43:24,639
same page, because what's going to happen is just ultimately

908
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,679
hurts the veterans and their families. And when you start

909
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,159
having veterans give up, that's bad, you know. So I

910
00:43:30,199 --> 00:43:33,199
want to start inspiring veterans to get to speak up,

911
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,840
you know, start start writing, you know, to the two

912
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,360
programs that are are you feel aren't doing good for

913
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,559
you or that could do better, Or start writing to

914
00:43:40,599 --> 00:43:43,519
your your legislation. Start running for office, you know, school board,

915
00:43:43,599 --> 00:43:46,960
town board, because that's the only way that we can

916
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,480
start uniting. That's that's the only way. And we really

917
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,159
need to do that because if not, it's it's just

918
00:43:52,199 --> 00:43:54,239
going to be a battle. It's almost like the community.

919
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,000
You know, the community has a lot of you know.

920
00:43:56,079 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 4: You use it social media for stuff too, to.

921
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,599
Speaker 1: Get those get a lot. So I tried, why do

922
00:44:01,639 --> 00:44:02,039
you get.

923
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:08,079
Speaker 4: Banned because you're just hanging out with you? Were you

924
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,159
assigning to grump University?

925
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 3: Grump brother, say it right or don't say it.

926
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,639
Speaker 1: For getting I get in a little bit of a

927
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,199
trouble just because I'm very passionate and I might come

928
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,079
off the wrong way. A lot of people you don't

929
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:23,920
have a love hate relationship with me, including a lot

930
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,800
of organizations and politicians.

931
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,679
Speaker 3: But I told him he wouldn't make any friends.

932
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I told him.

933
00:44:29,039 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 4: But listen, let me tell you. There's a class they did,

934
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,960
didn't They didn't teach you at Fort Grump. I doubt it. No, No,

935
00:44:35,079 --> 00:44:37,159
I think there's a class. And it's a hard one

936
00:44:37,199 --> 00:44:39,559
to learn. It's a hard one to learn. But that

937
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,000
the saying always goes you attract more flies with honey

938
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,280
than vinegar. You just got to find a better way

939
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,920
to say it. I always seriously think about, like if

940
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,920
you're talking to your significant other, right, I.

941
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,119
Speaker 3: Had one for twenty eight years.

942
00:44:53,159 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 7: Let's not go there.

943
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: I know about you.

944
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:04,519
Speaker 4: I can't even believe it lasted that long. Law Yeah no,

945
00:45:04,559 --> 00:45:07,119
But the my point is like there used to be

946
00:45:07,159 --> 00:45:09,960
the commercial right that it was was for some beer,

947
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,639
and it was Hey, I'm I'm flying in at midnight,

948
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,320
don't be pick me up and don't be late. Or

949
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,360
you could say, how about a midnight rendezvous at the airport.

950
00:45:21,679 --> 00:45:24,239
I'll be wearing something slinky and black, gonna make me

951
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,039
well okay, But the same thing in two different ways.

952
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,239
One one I go, hey, I'm there. The other I'm like,

953
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,960
fuck you do you know what I'm saying. That's all

954
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,880
I'm saying, is like it sucks because you got it play.

955
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,639
Unfortunately in life you've got to do the dance from time.

956
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: With me with me. When I came home, I was

957
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,039
in such a dark place, Yeah I was. I was

958
00:45:47,079 --> 00:45:50,679
coming at this originally with I'm going to expose as

959
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,840
much information, as much wrongdoings, as much money laundring as

960
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:54,119
I can.

961
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:55,519
Speaker 4: But then they want to just shut it.

962
00:45:55,679 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: They take me out. Well, it did a wint eighty

963
00:45:57,519 --> 00:45:59,719
and now everybody, as he knows, wines and dines me.

964
00:46:00,159 --> 00:46:03,199
But I don't like being the only you know, being

965
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,360
have to be a pit bull and have these guys like, yeah,

966
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,320
love hate me. You know, I don't like that kind

967
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,760
of stuff. I want to rally the truth because I

968
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,000
just I'm so passionate about what I do and I

969
00:46:13,079 --> 00:46:16,480
care about the veterans here so much that I want

970
00:46:16,519 --> 00:46:18,519
to give them just a little bit of hope.

971
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,599
Speaker 4: Well, only the veterans, right, the guys can relate to

972
00:46:22,639 --> 00:46:26,320
the stuff you've gone through. Right, You've seen things in

973
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,760
the discipline life, but beyond that put in your life

974
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,039
where all of a sudden you're walking along and something

975
00:46:33,079 --> 00:46:36,119
goes off and your insides are rupturing, but you look

976
00:46:36,159 --> 00:46:38,840
fine on the outside. Right, No one can relate to

977
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,960
what that's like, what that pain is like, what anything

978
00:46:41,079 --> 00:46:45,519
is until they've unless they've done it right right, unless

979
00:46:45,559 --> 00:46:49,800
they've not. And every war is different, every weapon is different,

980
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,119
But that's same. I would think it's the same mentality

981
00:46:52,159 --> 00:46:56,599
of I'm here fighting for all our lives. You got

982
00:46:57,119 --> 00:46:59,599
to think of you know, people who are on planes

983
00:46:59,599 --> 00:47:01,840
that land it in the Hudson, Right, they get back

984
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,039
together as a reunion. Why because they had a shared

985
00:47:04,079 --> 00:47:07,400
experience that was life altered, Right, see these you guys

986
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,880
said something that nobody can relate to. So I think

987
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,800
that that's really you're right, and no one knows what

988
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,880
you need other than you as a collective unity more

989
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,159
or less. And I believe it's hard.

990
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: We have great we have great ways of helping the veterans,

991
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,519
but I believe that we're starting to lose some of

992
00:47:25,559 --> 00:47:29,480
the best veterans and the best minded veterans we we

993
00:47:29,599 --> 00:47:32,599
can because they're now looking for their to make their own,

994
00:47:33,159 --> 00:47:36,360
their own organizations, you know, to try to compete with others,

995
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,199
and we need to all just come together, and all

996
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:40,920
they want is a voice at the table. I feel

997
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,639
almost like I'm a one of those guys when things bad,

998
00:47:43,679 --> 00:47:48,360
things happen and they go and they you know, no, no, no,

999
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,360
like what like when somebody gets shot and then the

1000
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,679
person comes over to that town and says, you know,

1001
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,719
you should like crump that guy Crump. You know that

1002
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:55,559
guy Crump.

1003
00:47:55,639 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 3: You know we got Crump Trump.

1004
00:47:59,159 --> 00:48:01,599
Speaker 1: That guy got shot or the people get shot. I'm

1005
00:48:01,639 --> 00:48:02,880
George Floyd, that guy.

1006
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 4: That yeah yeah, yeah, yah yah yeah.

1007
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: I feel sometimes that I get put into these positions

1008
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,679
where I they get they're like enough, it's enough. And

1009
00:48:09,679 --> 00:48:11,920
they're you know, these veterans are just throwing so much

1010
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,760
at me, and I feel that I can't do it

1011
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,199
on my own. I have to start getting on podcasts,

1012
00:48:17,199 --> 00:48:19,639
getting on places like this to just say, hey, listen,

1013
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,199
I'm trying to speak up. I'm starting to. You know,

1014
00:48:22,199 --> 00:48:23,719
you see stars doing it. You don't have to do

1015
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,880
it to this extreme. You don't have to come there, right,

1016
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,360
but just start speaking because I'm going to speak up.

1017
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,519
Speaker 4: How how can people get a hold of you? Let's say,

1018
00:48:30,559 --> 00:48:31,960
somebody's I.

1019
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,079

00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, Just just to give people a perspective of

1085
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 4: Ravens stew because that then the Bills can beat the Steelers,

1086
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,679
and they wouldn't play the Steelers. They would say, we

1087
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:08,000
are you would play the Steelers. It does get received.

1088
00:52:08,159 --> 00:52:08,880

1092
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,639
Speaker 3: A talking like you're a fan either.

1093
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,159
Speaker 4: Well I'm not. I'm not a huge fan, Simon. I'm

1094
00:52:21,199 --> 00:52:23,239
just saying I'm about to give you a compliment. But

1095
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:24,719
you know you go ahead and ship all over.

1096
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 7: What I do.

1097
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 4: Bill, I uh no, I I find it as an organization.

1098
00:52:31,159 --> 00:52:34,119
You've done it right. How many how many head coaches? Three?

1099
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,480
How many head coaches for the Buffalo Bills was one

1100
00:52:36,519 --> 00:52:37,360
every three years.

1101
00:52:37,519 --> 00:52:38,559
Speaker 7: Yes, I don't know.

1102
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 6: I mean I don't know of any other team either

1103
00:52:41,519 --> 00:52:43,920
that's had that type of a legacy and keeping your

1104
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,519
coaches thick and thin.

1105
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:50,039
Speaker 4: Now there was talk that they could possibly trade. Someone

1106
00:52:50,079 --> 00:52:52,079
may trade for Tomlin.

1107
00:52:53,639 --> 00:52:54,559
Speaker 7: It's up to Tomlin.

1108
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,280
Speaker 4: You think if he left, how would you feel?

1109
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 6: I say, thanks, Mike, Yeah, appreciate what you've done to

1110
00:53:03,639 --> 00:53:07,400
super Bowls, right, yep. Appreciate what you've done for the team.

1111
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,440
But in the last ten years or so, just playing

1112
00:53:11,519 --> 00:53:14,599
the final two minutes of every goddamn game just doesn't

1113
00:53:14,639 --> 00:53:15,280
work well.

1114
00:53:15,519 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 4: Something it is weird. Almost the same rap against Sean

1115
00:53:21,079 --> 00:53:25,599
McDermott in game management. Tight time or.

1116
00:53:25,599 --> 00:53:26,119
Speaker 7: You hate him?

1117
00:53:26,159 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 6: Right, it's one of the other Bill Either in any relationship,

1118
00:53:31,159 --> 00:53:34,920
especially leadership position, you're either loved or you're hated.

1119
00:53:35,119 --> 00:53:37,159
Speaker 3: But you're not going to all be loved all the time.

1120
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: It work Like for Aaron Rodgers, He's not loved all

1121
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:40,719
the time. Poor guy.

1122
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 3: That's out of him coming to the Steelers.

1123
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:43,639
Speaker 4: That's your buddy.

1124
00:53:43,679 --> 00:53:44,519
Speaker 1: I'm a Jets fan.

1125
00:53:44,639 --> 00:53:47,119
Speaker 4: Did you watch Enigma on Netflix?

1126
00:53:47,159 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 6: Oh?

1127
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, my buddy, they told me to watch.

1128
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,079
Speaker 4: You need to watch that. You need to watch that.

1129
00:53:51,519 --> 00:53:53,559
I think it will just people's opinion about.

1130
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: It's just like messing around, losing left or not.

1131
00:53:59,440 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1132
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 3: Unless you, I wouldn't be talking.

1133
00:54:02,639 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: Well what he Johnson's going. He's leaving, his brother's taking over.

1134
00:54:06,039 --> 00:54:08,519
So hopefully we'll bring Rex back, you know what I mean,

1135
00:54:08,639 --> 00:54:09,840
Let's get it. Let's all going.

1136
00:54:10,039 --> 00:54:12,599
Speaker 4: Rex interviewed. I don't he's the only guy that wants

1137
00:54:13,199 --> 00:54:18,519
somebody was interviewing. Oh no, that's Rabel Tomorrow Today, New

1138
00:54:18,559 --> 00:54:22,440

1139
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,320
to see who's going to land where the coaching carousel.

1140
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:26,239
It's always kind of fun.

1141
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:27,760
Speaker 1: Hey, Bill, have you ever heard of the War on

1142
00:54:28,079 --> 00:54:29,239
the War on Terror Memorial?

1143
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,119
Speaker 4: We have here the War on Terror Memorial.

1144
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,880

00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,920
the War on Terror Memorial web page they have or

1159
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,840
on Facebook as well. Pleasure Lanes Bowling also hans it

1160
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,840
on their page as well. How to do it, but

1161
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,480
it's on February twenty third. I can send it to

1162
00:55:27,519 --> 00:55:30,039
you if you can, if you don't mind sending out.

1163
00:55:30,039 --> 00:55:32,440
But it's bowling for veterans, and you know it's it's

1164
00:55:32,559 --> 00:55:35,000
very big. It'll be very big help for us to

1165
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,679
get some more people, some more donations, you know, for

1166
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,719
the raffles. Even if you don't bowl and sign up

1167
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:41,719
for that. I'm sure people last year they just came

1168
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:45,000
for the raffles. But yeah, if anybody can help, want

1169
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,320
to help, it'll it'll mean a lot because we were

1170
00:55:47,519 --> 00:55:51,760
work off straight. You know, donations fund you know it's funded,

1171
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:53,320
I guess is how the war on.

1172
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 4: Tear is basically would include you correct, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, so.

1173
00:55:58,079 --> 00:55:59,760
Speaker 1: But these are for the one that the men and

1174
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,320
women that have passed that passed there is what during

1175
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:03,400
you know, during war time.

1176
00:56:03,679 --> 00:56:06,199
Speaker 4: Talk to me about being over in Iraq. You said

1177
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,440
there were some wild and funny things.

1178
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of wild

1179
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:15,960
and crazy things that has happened. We once had had

1180
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,760
a I don't know what they were doing actually there,

1181
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,079
if it was Iraqi jail or they were just housing

1182
00:56:21,119 --> 00:56:23,119
guys there, but there was a little guy who stabbed

1183
00:56:23,159 --> 00:56:26,159
up the taxi driver. So they held them in, you know,

1184
00:56:26,199 --> 00:56:29,000
in their little jail cell. And the guy loves cigarettes,

1185
00:56:29,199 --> 00:56:31,880
love cigarettes, and I remember the Iraqi army guys used

1186
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:33,679
to give them a cigarette and he used to beat

1187
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,639
up other people that they had in the jail cell

1188
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,559
till they were i mean stripped the clothes off, naked,

1189
00:56:37,679 --> 00:56:38,960
you know what I mean, and fold them up put

1190
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:40,840
them in there. He spoke a little bit of broken English.

1191
00:56:41,199 --> 00:56:45,440
Loved being tased. Yeah he was. He was definitely, you know,

1192
00:56:45,559 --> 00:56:47,639
a fun guy. You know, when you're working with other armies,

1193
00:56:47,639 --> 00:56:49,880
they do a lot of different things that we don't do.

1194
00:56:50,039 --> 00:56:52,400
But you know, it's entertaining, you know what I mean,

1195
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,559
it's dry over there, but other countries don't care. Those

1196
00:56:55,639 --> 00:57:01,079
kind of things are are are crazy? What they What

1197
00:57:01,159 --> 00:57:02,880
else do you guys want to know? I mean, see

1198
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,039
with me, what happened with me is that I my

1199
00:57:05,119 --> 00:57:07,840
dad was communicating with a communications guy. He was a

1200
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,000
Flower City communications on motorola. And you know, I love

1201
00:57:11,039 --> 00:57:12,679
to dibble dabble in communications.

1202
00:57:13,079 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 4: I was.

1203
00:57:13,679 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: I was a very very good commo guy. So when

1204
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,199
you make the higher ups look good, you don't have

1205
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,840
to do all those crazy details picking up cigarette butts

1206
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,960
to and all that. I had air conditioning in my

1207
00:57:25,039 --> 00:57:28,840
trailer because I had the routers and networks in my trailers.

1208
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,719
So they have to stay cold. You can't have them,

1209
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,360
you know, in the heat, you know, and so I

1210
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,239
wanted to stay with them and sleep with them. So

1211
00:57:35,599 --> 00:57:37,400
there was a lot of things. There's a lot of

1212
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,880
things that that I benefited from in that in that manner,

1213
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,960
but also on the other side of things, when it

1214
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,280
comes to like going on missions or stuff like that,

1215
00:57:47,639 --> 00:57:49,800
you know, being a part of the personal security detachment,

1216
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,719
you know, for the general stuff like you know, things

1217
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:55,079
along those lines. Uh, those were just a little crazy.

1218
00:57:55,159 --> 00:57:58,559
But I guess me, with my joking, my joking morale

1219
00:57:58,639 --> 00:58:00,320
that I have, that's what I call it. Telling these

1220
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,000
guys I didn't sign up for this. I scored high

1221
00:58:02,039 --> 00:58:04,719
on my asvabs, not to kick indoors, not to go

1222
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,400
shooting people, not to we're sleeping here for the night

1223
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,519
after we take something over. But I was such a

1224
00:58:09,519 --> 00:58:12,199
good como guy that I was with these these guys.

1225
00:58:12,199 --> 00:58:15,599
You know, it's pretty crazy, you know. I I loved

1226
00:58:15,639 --> 00:58:17,559
every minute of it. I wouldn't change it. I think

1227
00:58:17,599 --> 00:58:20,039
that if I, if I wasn't put on a pedestal

1228
00:58:20,079 --> 00:58:24,519
though I was, I I wouldn't have been here to talk.

1229
00:58:24,559 --> 00:58:25,760
I think that I would have been in a lot

1230
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,599
more dangerous situations, you know. So I am blessed that

1231
00:58:29,039 --> 00:58:31,840
I made the higher ups look good. I got waivers

1232
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,360
for a lot of my ranks. So the stuff that

1233
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:38,320
I did see, it was quick. It was just fast.

1234
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,000
But it wasn't often, you know what I mean. Like

1235
00:58:41,039 --> 00:58:42,639
I said, with my incident, it was it was it

1236
00:58:42,679 --> 00:58:45,719
was almost like a fluke. Nobody really, nobody was hurt.

1237
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,000
It was it was a it's internal, it's all internal,

1238
00:58:49,079 --> 00:58:52,440
and UH for it to happen that way I felt

1239
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,320
I was cheated. You wanted to get back in the game.

1240
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:56,760
I wanted to get back in the game.

1241
00:58:57,079 --> 00:58:57,639
Speaker 4: I did.

1242
00:58:58,960 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 5: Well.

1243
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,039
Speaker 1: I mean I worked, I tried my dad, you know,

1244
00:59:01,079 --> 00:59:04,360
we did congressional inquiries with Louis Slaughter yeah and all that,

1245
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,480
and then eventually they just were making me have surgeries

1246
00:59:07,519 --> 00:59:09,840
over you overseas and it just wasn't good. I developed

1247
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,440
an infection at one time. I just sell that burst.

1248
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:16,480
That cost way more problems than anything. And then I

1249
00:59:16,519 --> 00:59:19,280
got to Germany and then they're like, oh, after we

1250
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:20,840
get you ready, you're gonna get you right back with

1251
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:22,760
your unit. And we just thought. It was like, I

1252
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,880
don't think so, you know, I said, let's get him back.

1253
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,159
And they were going to send me to Waltz Reed

1254
00:59:27,199 --> 00:59:29,119
and my dad said, I don't think so. That's my

1255
00:59:29,239 --> 00:59:31,480
only son, you know. Uh So they sent me back

1256
00:59:31,519 --> 00:59:33,199
to Fort Hood area and I got to go to

1257
00:59:33,239 --> 00:59:35,000
some of the great doctors and stuff.

1258
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 4: But do you have private Okay, so now you just

1259
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:40,360
said you're going to have your fifty first surgery.

1260
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,039
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, this hopefully is the last one.

1261
00:59:42,039 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 4: Well, but all this stuff started because you joined the army.

1262
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,199
You ever get angry about that? I he upset me,

1263
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:49,960
and he.

1264
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,679
Speaker 1: Knew me before I had a kid. When I was sixteen,

1265
00:59:53,119 --> 00:59:55,679
I told my dad, you know, I said, listen, basically,

1266
00:59:55,679 --> 00:59:57,039
I did it. You know what I mean, it's me.

1267
00:59:57,239 --> 00:59:59,960
I did it. I dropped out, got my ged where

1268
01:00:00,079 --> 01:00:02,800
two jobs. I was working at Arby's up on Western

1269
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,320
Road and working at Wegmans, and then the two job things.

1270
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,760
My oldest brother had had a spot over on Joe

1271
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,639
Anne Drive, and I used to live in an apartment

1272
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,440
over there with him. And then it was just getting

1273
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,360
too much, you know, doing all that stuff, and I said,

1274
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,079
I'm going to do that army thing, you know, because

1275
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,800
the two jobs is just not for me, you know,

1276
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,519
So I just joined the army. So the way I

1277
01:00:22,559 --> 01:00:24,880
was as a knucklehead back in the day, you know,

1278
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,000
growing up in the city. I grew up, you know,

1279
01:00:27,039 --> 01:00:32,840
behind Aquinas over there on Augustine Street, having a lot

1280
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,960
of issues, you know, with school and authority. I think

1281
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:37,639
it was one of the best things that can happen,

1282
01:00:38,079 --> 01:00:41,480
because I feel that now more than ever. You know,

1283
01:00:41,519 --> 01:00:43,239
when you grow up and you're saying, what's my purpose

1284
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,400
in life? I could finally say, you know, when I

1285
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,760
was you know, twenty six twenty seven. I found my purpose.

1286
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,440
You know, when I got here after being injured, you

1287
01:00:51,519 --> 01:00:56,199
I learned so much about life, death, appreciation and helping

1288
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,280
people that I finally found my purpose that I feel

1289
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:00,719
like now I'm actually living.

1290
01:01:00,639 --> 01:01:03,559
Speaker 4: So again, like Army, you could look at it one way,

1291
01:01:03,679 --> 01:01:06,719
go with the fuckra surgery or That's what I try

1292
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:07,280
to inspire.

1293
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of guys, you know, they've

1294
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,679
told me, they said, you know, you are inspiring because

1295
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,079
the stuff that you've gone through, you know, even just

1296
01:01:13,119 --> 01:01:15,079
in life, having a kid when I was sixteen, never

1297
01:01:15,119 --> 01:01:17,360
missing a child support payment. You know, I was there.

1298
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,400
I tried to do my best. I never want him

1299
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,800
to fail. So if I can do what they can too,

1300
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,280
and I just want them to have that same mentality.

1301
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:24,599
Speaker 4: You know.

1302
01:01:24,679 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: It's just let's let's all get together. You know, we

1303
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,039
were a company and a brigade before, so now we

1304
01:01:29,119 --> 01:01:31,599
build our company brigade back home. That's what we need

1305
01:01:31,599 --> 01:01:31,840
to do.

1306
01:01:32,159 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 4: Simon, did you meet Jamison?

1307
01:01:34,159 --> 01:01:37,239
Speaker 3: I can't believe that Jameson he was five.

1308
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,719
Speaker 4: He was born in twenty ten, so he was even younger.

1309
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,360
He might have been two. I think you're thinking of Jordan.

1310
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,559
Speaker 6: Out No, because he was. He came to Mike the

1311

1346
01:03:21,079 --> 01:03:24,480

01:03:53,159 --> 01:03:55,159

01:03:55,199 --> 01:03:58,280

Speaker 4: Simon calls, Simon calls and goes, I don't have GPS

1383
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:49,920
where to help I going. I'm thinking, oh my god,

1384
01:04:50,079 --> 01:04:52,360
I don't know how, I don't even know if I.

1385
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 5: Didn't even know where the fuck I was.

1386
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: It was dark and he was like, I don't come

1387
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:56,840
out after this, and I just had to. I had

1388
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:00,199
to go with it out. I had GPS chargers, but

1389
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:01,239
he was like, where are we?

1390
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 4: No, I don't know that you were riding together? Correct, Yeah, I.

1391
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:06,199
Speaker 6: Was like, I don't know back of the truck and

1392
01:05:06,239 --> 01:05:07,880
I just said there like a fucking lapdog.

1393
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm not from this area. I don't know. You mean,

1394
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:11,880
I don't know what you're.

1395
01:05:11,719 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 3: Killing me here?

1396
01:05:12,519 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 4: No, it's nice over here.

1397
01:05:14,119 --> 01:05:18,679
Speaker 6: My advocacy, yes, and the people that I help, Yes,

1398
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,119
I do it because it makes me feel good.

1399
01:05:24,039 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 3: They don't owe me anything.

1400
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 6: Well, they do, and I shouldn't say that when I

1401
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:34,119
advocate for someone. Yeah, I asked them going in that

1402
01:05:34,199 --> 01:05:37,679
whatever I do, however, I do it somewhere in the

1403
01:05:37,719 --> 01:05:38,880
course of your lifetime.

1404
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,119
Speaker 7: You have to do it for somebody else.

1405
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 4: That the same way you did it.

1406
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 3: Anyway they want, they have to.

1407
01:05:47,679 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 6: Nobody can do it like there's only one grump in

1408
01:05:52,519 --> 01:05:57,480
Rochester that's me. Yes, and technically I am retiring. And

1409
01:05:57,519 --> 01:06:00,719
those that I've advocated for over the court of the years,

1410
01:06:01,239 --> 01:06:05,960
like Sarge, have their own missions that they're advocating helping others.

1411
01:06:06,199 --> 01:06:07,719
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's great and I think what Sarge

1412
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,639
is doing and trying to bring the community veterans together

1413
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:15,199
and not having these splinter organizations. But there's power in numbers, right,

1414
01:06:15,199 --> 01:06:17,559
there's you know, get the number of people talking and

1415
01:06:17,599 --> 01:06:22,079
pushing and advocating for If we want a knitting class,

1416
01:06:22,079 --> 01:06:25,199
we get the knitting class. But what I having Let's

1417
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,599
use the money for something that is really good.

1418
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 6: One hundred grand on a freaking knitting class.

1419
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 4: This is that. That's why I'm saying it like that,

1420
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,000
the top to bottom we can I'm saying, like a

1421
01:06:36,079 --> 01:06:39,239
knitting class, to your point, may only have six people

1422
01:06:39,239 --> 01:06:41,920
that decide to go. Could we find something that would

1423
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,480
reach even more? Would there be a better use of

1424
01:06:44,519 --> 01:06:47,320
the same money that could have a bigger impact on

1425
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:47,719
more people?

1426
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,199
Speaker 3: Or is there a program that has a success rate?

1427
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:50,559
Speaker 4: Right?

1428
01:06:50,559 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 3: Should we invest in that program and expand it?

1429
01:06:53,159 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. I think accountability. I

1430
01:06:56,480 --> 01:07:01,079
think that sometimes when you're depressed and you look for

1431
01:07:01,559 --> 01:07:04,840
you know, I often have said things that may be

1432
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:08,000
a little controversial to some people. Is I'm not sure

1433
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,760
that alcoholism and all is a disease as much as

1434
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:13,960
it is an escape for people. Right, and then we

1435
01:07:14,119 --> 01:07:16,280
shame you, we tell you how bad this is, and

1436
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,599
then then we don't really give you the tools to

1437
01:07:19,639 --> 01:07:22,159
help get you off that or what's the right thing,

1438
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:24,559
and and I'm not sure what that is either. I

1439
01:07:24,599 --> 01:07:26,519
don't know. That's not my thing. But I feel like

1440
01:07:26,559 --> 01:07:28,639
a lot of times we shame you into well you're

1441
01:07:28,639 --> 01:07:31,679
a drunkier this year or that, but you're just looking

1442
01:07:31,679 --> 01:07:34,800
to escape some pain that may have been created by

1443
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,960
going overseas to defend your country or to you know,

1444
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:40,800
advocate for your country, or whatever we want to call it.

1445
01:07:42,199 --> 01:07:45,840
So I do think that we owe people something, right,

1446
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:47,000
We always people somebody.

1447
01:07:47,079 --> 01:07:50,599
Speaker 1: I like the programs that are are dry programs, That's

1448
01:07:50,639 --> 01:07:53,199
that's what I find that are very very good. Where

1449
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:56,639
there is no you know, even though weeds legal, don't

1450
01:07:56,639 --> 01:07:58,519
be hitting the vague hip, you know what I mean,

1451
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:04,400
drink long understable drinking. We're in Fairport, oh Ship. They

1452
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,920
don't do that out here, of course they do. Where

1453
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:08,480
is it? I didn't know it was legal out here.

1454
01:08:08,599 --> 01:08:09,159
Speaker 4: It's illegal.

1455
01:08:09,239 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 3: I don't jamis is pointed? Come on, kid, let's go

1456
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:13,840
for a walk.

1457
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 4: There's why. Oh never mind, I don't want to know

1458
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:19,359
about a kid named Josiah.

1459
01:08:19,199 --> 01:08:23,079
Speaker 3: No kid on the corner that in the city. Anywhere

1460
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:24,880
I can come out of my bedroom window.

1461
01:08:25,359 --> 01:08:29,079
Speaker 4: I don't know that you're right charge. If I think

1462
01:08:29,119 --> 01:08:32,960
Parenton did opt in, maybe not for the lounges, but

1463
01:08:33,039 --> 01:08:36,159
for the shops. I don't remember what they did because

1464
01:08:36,159 --> 01:08:38,760
it's the town of Parenton, right. Each town could advocate

1465
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,359
in court and if you were if you were out,

1466
01:08:41,399 --> 01:08:43,800
you could get in later, but you couldn't get the

1467
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:44,560
tax revenue.

1468
01:08:45,079 --> 01:08:46,239
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I don't.

1469
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't really New.

1470
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 3: York State could suck up a weed program.

1471
01:08:51,199 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, come on, like they were smoking weed before they

1472
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:54,439
even thought of.

1473
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:57,600
Speaker 1: I think it's come far, it's come far, but you

1474
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:59,479
have to dry. The dry programs I think are the

1475
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,399
best because it stops them from it. There is no

1476
01:09:02,399 --> 01:09:04,359
nobody that wants to do it. And we've had people

1477
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:07,039
go from the first couple of days they've come to

1478
01:09:07,079 --> 01:09:09,560
these dry programs. They smell like alcohol. I mean some

1479
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:11,600
of them. You know, they've not to mention your name.

1480
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,159
One guy smell like alcohol, had no shoes on. He

1481
01:09:14,239 --> 01:09:17,000
was golf with no daggon golf shoes on. Great golfer.

1482
01:09:17,199 --> 01:09:19,520
I mean he could he could beat me, but those

1483
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:22,520
of it. And then now course, oh man, but listen,

1484
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:24,600
this guy he is he is the best.

1485
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 5: He is the John Daly.

1486
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:31,119
Speaker 4: John Daly, and I think didn't Chevy Chase in Uh.

1487
01:09:33,239 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 5: Possibly, I think you remember.

1488
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,159
Speaker 1: But to go from something like that, to go from

1489
01:09:37,199 --> 01:09:40,119
you know, somebody who's comes to the program, that's, oh crap,

1490
01:09:40,239 --> 01:09:43,720
I can't come like you know everybody. So it makes

1491
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,960
people feel more comfortable everybody. Then then like say, if

1492
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,039
I don't go to golf, I'll have two three people

1493
01:09:49,079 --> 01:09:51,239
calling me come to my house, knocking my door. Where

1494
01:09:51,239 --> 01:09:52,720
the heck were you? You know what I mean? And

1495
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,199
that's you won't find that with a lot of a

1496
01:09:55,239 --> 01:09:57,439
lot of programs. You won't find that kind of camaraderie.

1497
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,880
I've been to organizations, programs, a lot of people could

1498
01:10:00,039 --> 01:10:02,840
veterans can vouch for me too. When we go to

1499
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,279
these programs, the people we see, we don't talk to

1500
01:10:05,359 --> 01:10:09,960
them afterwards. There's only a select organization, especially uh compere

1501
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,840
to pfc dwire program, which is peer to peer. That's

1502
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,640
what it's meant to be. We don't feel like numbers.

1503
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,920
We uh you know, we go there. And as far

1504
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,399
as like for bowling, everybody links up. Hey we're golfing

1505
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:23,720
with this old guy, young guy. You know you're hitting

1506
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,399
off yellows, you're hitting off this and then what happens

1507
01:10:26,399 --> 01:10:29,159
with me is that all these all these organizations have

1508
01:10:29,239 --> 01:10:32,079
these golf tournaments, they ask me, they sponsor for some

1509
01:10:32,239 --> 01:10:34,279
and I'll bring guys from the golf there, you know,

1510
01:10:34,359 --> 01:10:37,159
the golf group, and then we'll just beat everybody at

1511
01:10:37,199 --> 01:10:39,079
the tournament. So if you want to invite us anytime,

1512
01:10:39,119 --> 01:10:42,239
just let us know, we will come and play.

1513
01:10:42,399 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 4: But I think a lot of this stuff comes down

1514
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:49,760
to if you feel useful, you and you start to

1515
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,880
feel good about yourself, Like even Simon, you should feel

1516
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,520
good about the things you've done and help people for right,

1517
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:57,840
and you should. I think that's part of the problem

1518
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,560
with some veterans and stuff. You feel useless, so you

1519
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:04,720
feel nameless, faceless and lost. And if you can get

1520
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:06,680
you know something, that's going to give you a little

1521
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,560
bit of and you know, we talk about it as

1522
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,439
self esteem, as it's this mysterious thing. But I really

1523
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:15,439
think sometimes doing hard things and sometimes it's just getting

1524
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:17,760
out of bed is the hard thing. Do hard things

1525
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:21,039
make your bed get gone slowly, but surely you can

1526
01:11:21,199 --> 01:11:23,760
bring it back. And I think what you're doing is fantastic.

1527
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you can't do without the you know, without

1528
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:27,560
the help in the county. And you know what we

1529
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:29,199
have here at the county has out, you know, a

1530
01:11:29,279 --> 01:11:32,000
nature program that I didn't know it too much about

1531
01:11:32,039 --> 01:11:34,119
and I had my qualms about. But now I've heard

1532
01:11:34,119 --> 01:11:36,960
from a veterans that they're benefiting a whole Well.

1533
01:11:37,159 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 4: Nature has got a lot of healing powers, which sounds

1534
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:40,520
a little weird.

1535
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 1: Like golf. Yes, h well you're outside, but you're outside, yes,

1536
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,800
and all competitive and golf is the only it takes

1537
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,640
your mind off anything else, right, you're in that moment.

1538
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,840
There's golf is the only sport where an able body

1539
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:55,880
person can play against a non able body person and

1540
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,079
a competitive fashion. Well, with the handicap system. There's no

1541
01:11:59,119 --> 01:12:01,640
other sport that has it. So with the handicapped system,

1542
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,319
everything's fair. I try to qualify for Team USA for

1543
01:12:04,399 --> 01:12:07,239
the Simpson Cup. They put thirteen disabled veterans from the

1544
01:12:07,319 --> 01:12:10,319
United States against thirteen from Great Great Britain in a

1545
01:12:10,399 --> 01:12:12,640
Ryder Cup style event. It was held at oak Kill,

1546
01:12:13,159 --> 01:12:15,279
Saint Andrews. They go back and forth just like the

1547
01:12:15,319 --> 01:12:18,640
regular Ryder Cup. Listen, my first year I got beat

1548
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:20,000
by a triple amputee.

1549
01:12:20,079 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 4: My Dad's like.

1550
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 1: Stay in your head, staying your dad. I'm so inspired.

1551
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,239
This guy's hitting hitting the two hundred yards out the

1552
01:12:26,239 --> 01:12:28,840
sand fairways, sand trap and he's only got one arm.

1553
01:12:29,119 --> 01:12:31,560
That's inspiring to me. That's what made me.

1554
01:12:32,359 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 4: I had a picture to my head I thought I

1555
01:12:34,039 --> 01:12:35,560
thought had in his mouth.

1556
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:40,399
Speaker 1: But these amputees are are on the team represented in

1557
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,880
the team USA. And here I am an able body person,

1558
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,800
you know, and my injury is just inside and they're

1559
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,239
beating me at golf and they're they're handy guys better

1560
01:12:48,239 --> 01:12:50,520
than me anyway, so it doesn't matter. But those kinds

1561
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:52,600
of things are so inspiring. I think when we get

1562
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:54,840
out there and do that and we see somebody like that,

1563
01:12:55,239 --> 01:12:57,000
it'll make us take a step back and say, man,

1564
01:12:57,039 --> 01:12:58,960
my life isn't really that bad, all right, So what

1565
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,279
can I do now to help somebody else? And that's

1566
01:13:01,279 --> 01:13:02,039
that's what I want to do.

1567
01:13:02,079 --> 01:13:02,720
Speaker 5: You know what was.

1568
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 3: Inspiring, Sarge.

1569
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 6: I had this kid sitting in front of me talking

1570
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:10,039
to me, telling me about how he got blown.

1571
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:11,119
Speaker 7: Up in a rack.

1572
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,079
Speaker 3: And he plays golf like a freaking maniac.

1573
01:13:15,399 --> 01:13:18,359
Speaker 6: Anytime he could possibly get on a golf course, he

1574
01:13:18,399 --> 01:13:19,760
plays on a golf course, hit.

1575
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:20,199
Speaker 1: A lot of books.

1576
01:13:20,239 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 6: How can this guy who got blown up on the inside.

1577
01:13:24,119 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 3: Even stup on a golf course. I have no idea,

1578
01:13:28,079 --> 01:13:28,960
but here he is.

1579
01:13:29,039 --> 01:13:32,079
Speaker 4: There, he is. It's Sarge Golf. That's great charge. Uh,

1580
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,479

In twenty twenty five, song for Simons should be theme,

1639
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:57,760
should be your ringtone? It's not loud enough, say you

1640
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:01,399
should be everybody else's ringtone when you I was joking.

1641
01:17:02,359 --> 01:17:03,640
Speaker 3: I was joking with my kids.

1642
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 6: You know, sometime for my funeral, I'll have more enemies

1643
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:09,279
coming up piss on my ashes.

1644
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:11,239
Speaker 3: Then I will have friends to see me off.

1645
01:17:11,319 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, wells are gonna come. I don't give a shit.

1646
01:17:17,079 --> 01:17:19,159
Speaker 4: Are you planning this? Are you leaving soon? Where are

1647
01:17:19,199 --> 01:17:19,479
you going?

1648
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,199
Speaker 7: You never know when you're leaving buildings.

1649
01:17:22,239 --> 01:17:25,039
Speaker 6: No, there's no Kimmi there, But just I think anybody

1650
01:17:25,039 --> 01:17:28,319
that's getting onto this last stage of their journey, yeah,

1651
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,680
should definitely make some arrangements, just in case of Ana.

1652
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:36,359
Speaker 4: Kanas, just in case. Uh. So we said that, I said,

1653
01:17:36,359 --> 01:17:38,960
shitting your brains out, and Simon got very excited about that.

1654
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,920
He was all comfortable. He said, yeah, beatiful.

1655
01:17:43,119 --> 01:17:44,560
Speaker 7: NaN's a big deal when you get older.

1656
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 4: So Kevin sent me this article and it said a

1657
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:51,079
new study investigated the relationship between basically there. They did

1658
01:17:51,079 --> 01:17:55,600
a study and I think it's called the what do

1659
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:58,199
they call it? The Strewed Test is what I thought

1660
01:17:58,239 --> 01:18:03,279
it was. And they took thirteen different triathletes okay, and

1661
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,680
they gave them a test and the test was and

1662
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:10,399
they had words like the word red but read. The

1663
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,880
letters in the word read were blue. Okay, So they

1664
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:17,920
said find the color blue. Well, I see the word

1665
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:21,920
red and I'm not it does. It doesn't cordate. So

1666
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:25,279
they did this test and then they had people do

1667
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,560
the test after they took a shit. I'm not kidding,

1668
01:18:29,239 --> 01:18:30,520
And I know this sounds stupid.

1669
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,600
Speaker 3: People get paid the head do these tests.

1670
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:36,239
Speaker 4: I would assume they maybe, I don't know, how about.

1671
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:36,640
Speaker 3: The research study?

1672
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:38,680
Speaker 6: Where do they get their money to take a test

1673
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:40,039
of somebody taking a shit?

1674
01:18:40,159 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 4: But I like this. Sixty nine percent of the participants

1675
01:18:45,119 --> 01:18:49,239
scored better after taking a dump. Then they gave them

1676
01:18:49,279 --> 01:18:54,640
all a laxative, okay, and thirteen out of thirteen got

1677
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:58,000
them all right. So they're saying that there's a correlation

1678
01:18:58,079 --> 01:19:00,920
between your gut and your brain. That makes perfect sense,

1679
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:01,479
does it not?

1680
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,279
Speaker 1: So when I have an early tea time, right, I

1681
01:19:03,399 --> 01:19:05,079
swear my dad can vouch for me. If I have

1682
01:19:05,119 --> 01:19:06,960
an early tea time. You know I'm getting there. We're

1683
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:10,800
getting ready to go. After I go and take the best.

1684
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:12,760
I mean, it could be any kind any kind of shit.

1685
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:16,800
It could be bad, good, anything, just that whatever it does.

1686
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:18,560
Let me tell you what.

1687
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,279
Speaker 4: That first drive, that first hole.

1688
01:19:20,199 --> 01:19:22,359
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna burdy it. I mean, that's just.

1689
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 4: It's just gonna I do.

1690
01:19:24,399 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 1: And I can tell you one other thing. If my

1691
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:27,920
buddy's listening, a couple of buddies on golf with it

1692
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:31,039
is they probably are. I am the only one that's notorious.

1693
01:19:31,399 --> 01:19:33,359
I know what the port parties are. I will go

1694
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:35,479
right to the porty party mid round and they will

1695
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:37,520
wait for me. People can go through, it doesn't matter.

1696
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,680
But when I'm done that next shot, I'm lasening it.

1697
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:42,479
It does. Now that you say it, I promise you

1698
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:44,840
they will probably laugh and make perfect sense because.

1699
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:48,600
Speaker 4: They did it one hour after a natural bowel movement

1700
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:50,279
is when they gave the test, and then an hour

1701
01:19:50,359 --> 01:19:55,720
after a magnesium oxide laxative, and that was where the

1702
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,520
participants got them all right. Now, the other side of

1703
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,880
this could be you took the as before. There's what

1704
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:05,159
what's the margin, arra, what are the variables? However, there

1705
01:20:05,279 --> 01:20:08,159
is a big thing between your gut. How many times

1706
01:20:08,159 --> 01:20:11,760
do we say gut feeling and all that your your gut,

1707
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:16,560
your has the next amount of nerves in your body

1708
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:20,479
is there. It's your brain and then your gut. Right,

1709
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:22,880
and so when you're doing all you got to think

1710
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:26,000
of what you're eating does affect your brain and things

1711
01:20:26,359 --> 01:20:29,000
and that when you clear it out, Simon, when you

1712
01:20:29,039 --> 01:20:30,399
clear it out, don't pick.

1713
01:20:30,399 --> 01:20:34,359
Speaker 3: Out, you know, nailing at me here.

1714
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 1: You gotta clear clear it out.

1715
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,079
Speaker 3: Let me tell you. Just to clear it out is

1716
01:20:38,119 --> 01:20:39,439
a challenge in itself.

1717
01:20:40,399 --> 01:20:42,039
Speaker 4: We'll get those glicerina now.

1718
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,239
Speaker 1: And you'll be smarter because they because it was the

1719
01:20:46,359 --> 01:20:48,640
gut so for one, Yeah.

1720
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:50,760
Speaker 3: But it ain't worked in the past two years. What

1721
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:52,359
makes you think whatever?

1722
01:20:54,199 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 4: The gut brain connection serves as a sophisticated bi directional

1723
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:01,239
communication system that affects multiple critical body functions through a

1724
01:21:01,239 --> 01:21:04,760
complex network of nerves, hormones, chemical signals, and its main

1725
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:06,760
purposes include regulating it sent.

1726
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,039
Speaker 3: My brain tells me to ship it just don't want to.

1727
01:21:09,239 --> 01:21:12,960
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, oh, what are you gonna do? Are you

1728
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:15,319
a little backed up there? I used to be Yeah,

1729
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:16,399
what did you do?

1730
01:21:17,359 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 6: I waited it out, took the laxatives, you name it,

1731
01:21:20,199 --> 01:21:20,760
you take it.

1732
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,359
Speaker 3: They even prescribed a few just to get.

1733
01:21:23,199 --> 01:21:23,680
Speaker 7: It to move.

1734
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 4: Yeah. Did you do any animals or anything? Oh?

1735
01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:26,159
Speaker 7: Absolutely not.

1736
01:21:26,239 --> 01:21:28,600
Speaker 6: But okay, I've never had one of them. Man, Yeah,

1737
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:29,640
it sounds kind of exciting.

1738
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:34,680
Speaker 4: I'm just asking, like, if it got that bad because

1739
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:38,399
the problem I was gonna say Elvis died, let me

1740
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:38,760
say this.

1741
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 1: It didn't ship.

1742
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:43,159
Speaker 6: Let me say this just a couple of weeks ago.

1743
01:21:46,199 --> 01:21:47,239
Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago.

1744
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 6: It was so bad that when I did have that

1745
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:53,640
brain clearing as you call it, Yeah, I developed massive

1746
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:54,319
chest pains.

1747
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:56,079
Speaker 4: You thought you were having a heart attack.

1748
01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 3: And I thought, uh, last year, last January.

1749
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:02,760
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, if you ship and died

1750
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:05,319
on the toilet I had, I would be crying with.

1751
01:22:05,399 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 5: That's like a ship Danny would have. You have a

1752
01:22:07,039 --> 01:22:07,960
massive ship that hard.

1753
01:22:08,159 --> 01:22:10,359
Speaker 4: Danny's gonna hear this story and he's gonna go load

1754
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:11,119
up on laxatives.

1755
01:22:11,239 --> 01:22:15,520
Speaker 1: Somebody says that I got thoughts about Simon.

1756
01:22:15,279 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 7: Said so, but I got it.

1757
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:18,399
Speaker 1: It was so.

1758
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 7: I'm going to call it defeating.

1759
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:25,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, that back in January a year ago, I had

1760
01:22:25,119 --> 01:22:27,920
major surgery and I have a stint that goes from

1761
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:31,199
my stern them to both my legs O one stent

1762
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:32,239
fourteen inches.

1763
01:22:33,319 --> 01:22:37,159
Speaker 7: The incisions by the incisions hurt. Yeah.

1764
01:22:37,399 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, Now not the incisions, but where they were to

1765
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:43,319
put the stitches to the a orda that actually hurt.

1766
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,800
Then I had chest pains for two days, but I

1767
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:50,000
didn't panic. Had I of panic that I had another

1768
01:22:50,039 --> 01:22:50,520
heart attack.

1769
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:52,880
Speaker 4: You think, okay, so that was a heart attack. Then

1770
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:58,039
I've had two of them that you've had. Okay, But that's.

1771
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 6: How serious it gets when you have your medical complications.

1772
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:04,199
Doesn't matter what you eat, what you don't eat, how

1773
01:23:04,239 --> 01:23:09,000
you eat. When your gut starts to start, you're screwed.

1774
01:23:09,079 --> 01:23:09,319
Speaker 1: Man.

1775
01:23:10,079 --> 01:23:13,039
Speaker 6: I know that after three days, if it's not gone,

1776
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:14,079
I have.

1777
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:16,640
Speaker 1: To go to a hospital. If you don't go to

1778
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:17,760
the bathroom exactly.

1779
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:21,560
Speaker 4: Really, my microphone sounds weird. Does it sound weird to you?

1780
01:23:22,319 --> 01:23:23,520
Speaker 3: Just sounds like you're not.

1781
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 7: Are you there ground Control?

1782
01:23:28,039 --> 01:23:28,119
Speaker 6: No?

1783
01:23:28,239 --> 01:23:29,800
Speaker 7: You you're not working.

1784
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:35,039
Speaker 4: Oh I've been having some Uh that was weird. Right,

1785
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:41,079
there's been some weird things happening with you. I can

1786
01:23:41,159 --> 01:23:45,600
turn it up my volume, going why can't hear anything. Well, yeah,

1787
01:23:46,079 --> 01:23:47,199
she shipped it up.

1788
01:23:48,279 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 5: Coming and you're talking all this ship you're not talking

1789
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:50,399
about peep.

1790
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, the but it's a it's amazing, like it's Look,

1791
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:55,840
we take it as a sort of a joke, but

1792
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:59,239
there is a real connection between your your diet, what

1793
01:23:59,279 --> 01:24:01,479
you eat and in your brain and how your body

1794
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:03,880
functions and when you can feel better and if you

1795
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:06,760
can clear it out and birdy a hole man right

1796
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:09,479
after you blew up some the hole that's fine. I

1797
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:13,000
just it is. It's a funny thing. But yet at

1798
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:14,920
the same time, you know, it makes a lot of sense,

1799
01:24:15,279 --> 01:24:17,399
and the science behind it makes a lot of sense.

1800
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:19,520
It does, and you feel better. I mean, how many

1801
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:21,439
times have you walked up Like God, it just feels

1802
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:22,840
so much lighter and better.

1803
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:26,239
Speaker 1: And the only time it's not good is probably like

1804
01:24:26,279 --> 01:24:27,960
when you're in Iraq and it's you know, one hundred

1805
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:30,000
and forty degrees in a porta potty. Yeah, and you

1806
01:24:30,039 --> 01:24:30,560
gotta take it.

1807
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,720
Speaker 7: Yet that's probably the worst, yeah, thinking.

1808
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:35,720
Speaker 1: It's probably the worst, you know ever, especially if your

1809
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:36,399
stomach ERTs.

1810
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 4: They need to bottle that. They should just take those

1811
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:42,239
porta potties and drop those in the middle of places

1812
01:24:42,359 --> 01:24:42,800
that would be.

1813
01:24:43,319 --> 01:24:45,600
Speaker 1: But they don't use you know, they don't have toilet paper. No,

1814
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:47,359
they don't toilet paper, so probably.

1815
01:24:47,079 --> 01:24:48,319
Speaker 3: Would like my finger.

1816
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:50,399
Speaker 4: Oh thank you, Simon.

1817
01:24:51,399 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 3: I offered you that one. I didn't give it the

1818
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,960
other one I didn't offer you to fish ship. Come on, now,

1819
01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:58,279
stop it, Billy.

1820
01:24:58,319 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 4: Danny's going to be so disappointed. He's not.

1821
01:25:00,159 --> 01:25:02,279
Speaker 3: I'm sorry he's not here too. I'd love to bust

1822
01:25:02,319 --> 01:25:02,680
his ball.

1823
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had, uh back in the day. We used

1824
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,359
to have the Christmas party and Simon would come in

1825
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:11,119
and oh, yeah, uh, all kinds of stuff you did,

1826
01:25:11,239 --> 01:25:12,600
be rocking the beach.

1827
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:15,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, rocking the beach, and you know, Mike the Dead said,

1828
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:19,039
and everybody Mike the Dad, what a crazy bastard he was?

1829
01:25:19,239 --> 01:25:21,640
Speaker 4: Yes, he was. You know, I wore big heart.

1830
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:26,119
Speaker 6: My advocacy takes me in the poorer neighborhoods of our city,

1831
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:28,800
and I spent a lot of time in the otis

1832
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:32,680
Lyle area the past. I'm gonna say from twenty twenty

1833
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:37,119
to probably twenty twenty three. But I was doing my

1834
01:25:37,199 --> 01:25:43,880
ship in that area and just I can't I lost.

1835
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 4: It, lost what I lost?

1836
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 3: Where the fuck I was?

1837
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:49,239
Speaker 4: We'll go take a ship and come back.

1838
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:51,520
Speaker 5: Wait a minute, he said he was doing this shit.

1839
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:55,239
Speaker 4: Oh, you were down in the poorer neighborhood. And what

1840
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:56,680
about Mike to Dead.

1841
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:59,399
Speaker 6: And Mike the Dead when we were on the show, Yeah,

1842
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,680
it was and talking about the trouble in the Order

1843
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:05,840
Street neighborhoods. One day he was picking up his daughter.

1844
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:09,720
Oh god damn, and gunshots went off. Yeah, and Mike

1845
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:13,359
secured his daughter and he heads to where the gunshots are.

1846
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,600
Speaker 3: Most people in that neighborhood.

1847
01:26:15,119 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 4: Go to fucking by the way he went, he had

1848
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,159
a gun, I think in his glove box or something,

1849
01:26:20,199 --> 01:26:20,920
and he went running.

1850
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 5: After that, he would be a little smart after hearing

1851
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:23,399
the gunshots.

1852
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:26,359
Speaker 4: My favorite, my favorite, There were two. There was a

1853
01:26:26,399 --> 01:26:29,159
couple favorite moments with Mike the Dad.

1854
01:26:29,199 --> 01:26:31,119
Speaker 3: He broke his ball is good on alle Well, we

1855
01:26:31,159 --> 01:26:31,600
broke his.

1856
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:34,680
Speaker 4: Ball is good on that one. But when uh, Tommy

1857
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:37,920
went to Hong Kong and he comes back and Michael,

1858
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,520
what do you speak of Hong Kong? I fucking died,

1859
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:44,760
I fucking died, I died. What do you speaking Hong Kong?

1860
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,760
I go you can't write this shit. But the best

1861
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:49,760
was there was a lot of things that people didn't

1862
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:54,520
know about people. And you talk about a judge a

1863
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:56,760
book by its cover, right, we should never do that,

1864
01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,119
and we're we're told that and we shouldn't judge, We

1865
01:26:59,119 --> 01:26:59,960
shouldn't do these things.

1866
01:27:00,119 --> 01:27:02,319
Speaker 3: But sometimes to me, for the last, don't well.

1867
01:27:02,239 --> 01:27:09,119
Speaker 4: I'm touching too. If I saw you coming up to me, steer, so.

1868
01:27:09,079 --> 01:27:10,079
Speaker 3: I don't want to even go there.

1869
01:27:10,119 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 6: I mean, I get I could tell these people some

1870
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:15,920
fucking stories. I can like this place up with no problem.

1871
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:20,000
But I'm being a little bit politically nicely.

1872
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 4: So the but Mike was one of these. He was

1873
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:25,439
kind of a big, scary guy. I think his front

1874
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:27,159
tooth was like chipped.

1875
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,159
Speaker 1: At his kind of he was, and it was really

1876
01:27:29,239 --> 01:27:29,479
he was.

1877
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,199
Speaker 4: He was big, and he had a long braided ponytail.

1878
01:27:32,279 --> 01:27:34,720
He looked like kind of a biker guy. But one

1879
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:36,880
of the things I've learned over the years is those

1880
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,680
guys are usually the ones that are some of the

1881
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,680
sweetest center are they not?

1882
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:44,520
Speaker 5: Absolutely they have a gooey.

1883
01:27:44,279 --> 01:27:47,239
Speaker 4: Nugety center. And I mean that with in all sincerity,

1884
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:49,560
because I think a lot of times people see them

1885
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:51,920
and that may he may be the kind of guy

1886
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,520
you cross the street to walk on the other side,

1887
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:56,279
if it's late at night, like I don't want any trouble,

1888
01:27:56,319 --> 01:27:56,880
you know what I mean.

1889
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:58,720
Speaker 3: Even in the daytime, I might walk away from like.

1890
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 4: If I didn't. So yeah, and he shows up at

1891
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,560
my house because he also I don't know if he

1892
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:06,640
ran a florist on the side or did whatever. So

1893
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:09,720
it's Valentine's Day. I'm married at the time. He shows

1894
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,359
up at the house and he's got flowers and my

1895
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:14,800
mother answers the door and she goes.

1896
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:25,039
Speaker 2: There's this big guy going, hey, spill here, well with flowers.

1897
01:28:25,079 --> 01:28:27,399
Speaker 4: But I mean it was it was for it might

1898
01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:29,319
have been Mother's Day now that I'm thinking about it,

1899
01:28:29,319 --> 01:28:31,600
because the weather was fairly nice that my mother had

1900
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:34,560
come up, and so it's for Mother's Day. And uh

1901
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:36,840
that was the thing, is like and Race and Randy,

1902
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,720
you know, like just people who yeah, yeah, yeah.

1903
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 3: I still talk to Laura. I do quite often.

1904
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:45,319
Speaker 4: Good good. Yeah. We had a nice crew there. That

1905
01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:48,760
was a that when I look back over my time

1906
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:53,359
on the radio, Uh, I argue so much with the

1907
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:56,840
company that it sort of soured my memory. That was

1908
01:28:57,079 --> 01:28:59,319
some of the best and most fun I ever had

1909
01:28:59,359 --> 01:28:59,880
on the radio.

1910
01:29:00,079 --> 01:29:01,640
Speaker 1: I used to listen a lot to you guys. When

1911
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:04,359
I was after you know, throughout when I was in

1912
01:29:04,359 --> 01:29:07,399
the hospital stays and everything, I used to always listen, listen,

1913
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:10,279
and I remember every time I called them. First thing, somebody,

1914
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:11,520
how's that not doing?

1915
01:29:12,159 --> 01:29:14,399
Speaker 4: What do you do that? Well, only because there was

1916
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,439
so many surgeries that sort of were the results of

1917
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:20,920
the same thing. Because you had a surgery, something went wrong,

1918
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:24,079
didn't you say? Septis said it yeaheah.

1919
01:29:24,119 --> 01:29:26,239
Speaker 1: Then I had a hydra selected me all these words.

1920
01:29:26,239 --> 01:29:28,800
I didn't even know things that were happening. Yeah, they

1921
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:31,159
were retubing me, they were taking stuff out of me,

1922
01:29:31,239 --> 01:29:34,800
and this didn't work anymore. And cathterizing myself for years.

1923
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:36,760
Speaker 4: You know, you had to catharize yourself.

1924
01:29:37,079 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 7: Oh that's just that's just wrong.

1925
01:29:39,039 --> 01:29:40,319
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Jesus sorry.

1926
01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 3: You know, you know, my don't that's ever been done

1927
01:29:44,079 --> 01:29:45,119
to you? You've ever had that?

1928
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 6: You don't want that, I know, I don't want that

1929
01:29:48,239 --> 01:29:49,600
man coming out to bitch.

1930
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 5: You don't know nothing about it.

1931
01:29:52,359 --> 01:29:53,760
Speaker 3: He was a pipe cleaner.

1932
01:29:55,039 --> 01:29:57,119
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, you had your man card.

1933
01:29:57,239 --> 01:29:59,000
Speaker 1: Come on, I used to do it four times a day.

1934
01:29:59,199 --> 01:30:02,039
You did yourself, Well, who else is gonna do it?

1935
01:30:02,159 --> 01:30:02,600
I don't know.

1936
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:05,239
Speaker 4: I'm sure you could pay some broad somewhere in the corner.

1937
01:30:06,079 --> 01:30:13,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't married to my amazing one. I had to

1938
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:13,960
do it.

1939
01:30:14,079 --> 01:30:15,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wouldn't want somebody else.

1940
01:30:15,359 --> 01:30:17,079
Speaker 1: So it went from doing a balloon, you know, having

1941
01:30:17,119 --> 01:30:19,680
the balloon type of thing in there, and then obviously

1942
01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:22,039
after a while you can't just you got to keep swapping,

1943
01:30:22,039 --> 01:30:23,640
you know, whatever they do, you know you can't do that.

1944
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:26,560
So then you just have to do it yourself. Yeah, yeah,

1945
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:30,159
it happens. But you know, you're just I've passed some

1946
01:30:30,159 --> 01:30:33,399
big kidney stones and they're just like, listen, there's no

1947
01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:36,560
way your your your your ethra looks like Freddy Krueger's face.

1948
01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:39,840
You know that's yeah, because I've passed so many stones,

1949
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:42,279
I've had to you know myself.

1950
01:30:42,319 --> 01:30:43,720
Speaker 4: So it's just a lot of scarring.

1951
01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:47,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. The scary doesn't bother me anymore. But yeah,

1952
01:30:47,279 --> 01:30:50,560
it doesn't. Talking about it's not comfortable. But when you

1953
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:52,520
have so much pain and you gotta pee.

1954
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,880
Speaker 4: Did you do it too? There was no pleasure with

1955
01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:59,560
it though. Pleasure well, I'm saying later on maybe maybe

1956
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:00,000

Speaker 4: Some guys get. Some guys get a Prince Albert where

1960
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:16,880
they put they pierce it. You know what I'm saying.

1961
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:21,039
Speaker 6: I saw that conference, the conference.

1962
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:26,760
Speaker 4: On what conference were you at? Conference? Because when I

1963
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:28,600
worked at what kind of Kiki ship for you?

1964
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:31,760
Speaker 6: When I worked as a youth counselor for the police

1965
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:34,479
department back in the eighties, I had to go to

1966
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:41,640
conferences that involve pedophilia, sexual massacres, trafficking.

1967
01:31:42,199 --> 01:31:44,279
Speaker 4: Speaking of this is in the eighties they were talking

1968
01:31:44,319 --> 01:31:44,960
about trafficking.

1969
01:31:45,039 --> 01:31:47,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, we saw it on the street.

1970
01:31:48,279 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 4: Still. I mean, now, I don't know how you get

1971
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:53,600
to pull it off today with everywhere we go there's

1972
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:56,760
a camera. So I mean it's almost made some police.

1973
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:59,239
Speaker 6: You're making You're making trafficking sound like I'm going to

1974
01:31:59,279 --> 01:32:01,520
come up to the corner, snatch you and take your away.

1975
01:32:02,399 --> 01:32:04,720
Speaker 4: Yes, but it's rare, but it's very rare.

1976
01:32:05,199 --> 01:32:07,319
Speaker 6: Right now, we have over one hundred and twenty kids

1977
01:32:07,319 --> 01:32:10,439
in this city. Nobody has a fucking clue where they are.

1978
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:15,039
They're in schools, where do they live, Who's watching them?

1979
01:32:16,279 --> 01:32:20,000
I ain't their parents. But now that we went to trafficking,

1980
01:32:20,319 --> 01:32:22,319
I have a friend of mine, a very personal friend

1981
01:32:22,359 --> 01:32:25,359
of mine. I've known since nineteen seventy five. Yes, he

1982
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:28,079
is a wish Meyer. His name is Bill Wischmeyer, and

1983
01:32:28,079 --> 01:32:30,840
he's an expert on human trafficking.

1984
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:32,399
Speaker 7: He lives in Florida.

1985
01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:35,960
Speaker 4: He came up here, go go there?

1986
01:32:36,319 --> 01:32:37,239
Speaker 7: You want me here or now?

1987
01:32:37,319 --> 01:32:40,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, only just because we can hear you better, that's all.

1988
01:32:40,319 --> 01:32:41,640
I think what you're saying is important.

1989
01:32:42,439 --> 01:32:45,800
Speaker 6: He came up from Florida about a year ago, maybe

1990
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:51,039
a little bit more, and he approached our law enforcement

1991
01:32:51,079 --> 01:32:56,399
agencies DA's Office, CDPD and the Mondel County Sheriff's Office

1992
01:32:56,479 --> 01:33:04,439
to offer the programs and funding and trying to slow down.

1993
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:07,960
You're not going to stop human trafficking. It's not gonna happen.

1994
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:11,439
I don't believe it's possible, but that's my own personal opinion.

1995
01:33:12,279 --> 01:33:15,600
But if you could slow down the rate, in the

1996
01:33:15,640 --> 01:33:19,680
way it's being done and who's doing it, then you're

1997
01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:24,439
gonna make a big difference. I'd like to possibly offer

1998
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:28,000
Bill a chance to be on your podcast and talk

1999
01:33:28,039 --> 01:33:33,079
about this. Monroe County Sheriff's Office was very receptive to Bill.

2000
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:36,039
You didn't hear anything from the DA's office, but the

2001
01:33:36,119 --> 01:33:39,800
DA's office does have a last I knew a two

2002
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:41,319
man trafficking unit.

2003
01:33:42,199 --> 01:33:42,800
Speaker 7: Two men?

2004
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:47,359
Speaker 6: Is it really isn't really a lot of anything for

2005
01:33:47,399 --> 01:33:49,399
the amount of time this stuff takes.

2006
01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:52,560
Speaker 4: Would that be more police work or d A. I

2007
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:53,960
don't know, I'm asking.

2008
01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:57,920
Speaker 6: I think it would be more police work. And the

2009
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:01,319
city never responded to him, and that's kind of disheartening.

2010
01:34:02,079 --> 01:34:04,640
Speaker 4: What do you what do you think of of the

2011
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:05,439
Sheriff's Department?

2012
01:34:06,319 --> 01:34:10,079
Speaker 6: I liked the job that that Todd Baxter's I do too,

2013
01:34:10,159 --> 01:34:13,199
But I know the best for sure.

2014
01:34:13,359 --> 01:34:17,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love especially a veteran. Yeah, I family, but

2015
01:34:17,159 --> 01:34:18,720
I've known him.

2016
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:20,319
Speaker 3: I've known Todd a long time.

2017
01:34:20,479 --> 01:34:23,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know him as the man he is behind

2018
01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:24,119
the badge.

2019
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 3: The badge is.

2020
01:34:26,079 --> 01:34:28,279
Speaker 4: Job, but he's the same guy.

2021
01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:33,199
Speaker 6: But the man behind that so much more he is. Yes, Yes,

2022
01:34:33,239 --> 01:34:36,079
he's a good family man. He belongs to a church,

2023
01:34:36,159 --> 01:34:40,640
his church funteers and goes across the world to help others.

2024
01:34:41,359 --> 01:34:44,920
That's the kind of man I can respect.

2025
01:34:45,399 --> 01:34:47,399
Speaker 1: He was definitely the first veteran I looked up to.

2026
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:52,159
Speaker 6: And the respect that the aura that, yeah, he has

2027
01:34:52,279 --> 01:34:52,960
around him.

2028
01:34:53,079 --> 01:34:56,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, is this the second time I've heard that word today?

2029
01:34:56,359 --> 01:34:58,039
Speaker 3: He carries it all.

2030
01:34:58,119 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding.

2031
01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:01,159
Speaker 4: It's like, it's just because I haven't heard a lot

people want to call it, that I do. You know,

2102
01:37:51,279 --> 01:37:55,039
I always want to advocate. Well, some people get mad

2103
01:37:55,079 --> 01:37:57,960
at what I like saying advocating. Some people say, you know,

2104
01:37:58,000 --> 01:37:59,880
you're just you know, being a loud mouth about that,

2105
01:38:00,199 --> 01:38:02,520
but I I know the county. The county does so

2106
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:04,760
much for our veterans, and I I want to thank

2107
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:08,239
the county, you know't thank the Veterans Service Agency and

2108
01:38:08,319 --> 01:38:12,079
Nick everybody over there, Laura Stradley at the voc UH

2109
01:38:12,359 --> 01:38:15,039
and you know the pfc dwire Programming comp here, because

2110
01:38:15,119 --> 01:38:17,960
I think that they're they're they're gonna help us coming

2111
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,279
into the new year to set the tone and we

2112
01:38:20,319 --> 01:38:23,039
can be the county that h that the whole state

2113
01:38:23,079 --> 01:38:25,600
looks at how to take care of veterans the proper way,

2114
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:27,640
and we're all gonna unite. So I appreciate all they're

2115
01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:30,560
