through the hall Danny's palm during life and dreams, Kevin's games.
Speaker 2: And laughter beams and a clue screams.
Speaker 3: We find story, shit and moments.
Speaker 1: Five Danny and the healthy facts to bring it into
twenty five.
Speaker 2: So Danny in the Healthy Fats last night talked to
Randy Flucker. Yeah from get your gig on and uh,
Danny in the Healthy Fats may be making a couple appearances.
Come on, I gotta retirement, Come on, twenty five kidding,
this is amazing. They few people may have talked me
into something. How drunk were you? I wasn't. I want
a drunk to be to go. Well, that's what I
was hoping for. Here's a better version. The drunker you are,
the better.
Speaker 3: I sound, those voice that goes through the whole Danny's
tauntry life, Intrea Cavn's games and laughter dudes.
Speaker 4: In the glue.
Speaker 1: I asked for eighty style ballot. It didn't really register.
Happy New Year, everybody, twenty twenty five. We may see
you back on stage. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: So in a band or as a as a hired gun.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, like a little of both, A little bit so.
But but I can't get into the details yet.
Speaker 1: But oh really, so this is top secret information.
Speaker 2: This is is confidential, not top secret, either you're in
the band or between. I got I gotta, I gotta,
I gotta get the get out the conk and some
of the Yes, some of the news too. That's right
from uh okay, all right. I was hoping Kevin will
get wa washboard apps so I can play the washboard
for him. Kevin, is this on sling I'm working on? Well,
it's already a blowout, so.
Speaker 1: Like every other college football so I don't understand. I'm
confused by this, uh with you, this whole thing with you.
I'm confused, and I apologize and I'm gonna I have
a tendency when i'm confused to just keep poking until
it makes sense to me. Okay, but but I'll leave
it alone since you don't want to say too much.
Speaker 2: How well, it's just it's kind of an idea that
I thought I was gonna stop doing it, and then
somebody threw out this idea and said, hey, why don't
you do this? Yeah, I have a it available, and
then somebody else said something that would be awesome, but
I don't want to go into detail. I have to
like make sure I have the people to do it. Okay,
So you're going your wife, Yeah, would include my wife?
Include oka band? Great question. I like that. I like this.
Speaker 1: Would it be called Danny in the Healthy Fats one
of them, may wait, the other one would be the
other one would have to be Diggler's Bridge.
Speaker 2: Oh, the old Diggler's Bridge. Yeah, I'd have to get
the band back to We're going a T shirts made
Magi and his T shirt back out. Oh god, man,
Indiano has that T shirt. That's awesome. They were like,
when you say their name? Apparently huh COVID said you
can't say their names on the on the show. Apparently
I got yelled at for that last week I said
his name. So what happened? I don't remember.
Speaker 5: I remember it, but I don't remember what the context was.
Speaker 2: I don't remember the context either. We're doing a live
read for the point is, yes, so I may go
on stage just maybe a couple of times. Maybe all right?
Maybe all right?
Speaker 5: Like what the money situation is?
Speaker 2: He's getting divash. Also, I think Randy Flucker's got his
own uh crypto coin that he's coming out with it.
Things are changing. Flucker's got some good ideas coming up
this year. So the music scene is gonna be even better.
Did you know they refer to Rochester as little Nashville?
Who does? Who's they that does?
Speaker 1: I sold this last night. I didn't know this, all right,
I say that. Allright, here's what I'm gonna say. Yes,
I think Fairport is little Nashville.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's what they mean.
Speaker 1: And I think Fairport is becoming the destination. I know
a lot of young people are coming down here, uh
to party, and especially.
Speaker 2: If you've seen the city recently, of course they're coming here.
Speaker 1: We're hitting the cannery and stuff.
Speaker 5: Fairporn ain't gonna be a little Nashville until Lvo's bar
and girl goes.
Speaker 2: Up, Oh yeah, that would be great. Is he putting
one up kid Rocks? Yeah? Funny If Elvio got kicked
out of his own bars off as kid Rock, that'll
never happen, Like I think kid Rock has twice been
kicked out. Yes, this is an idea.
Speaker 5: We need to float Alvio.
Speaker 1: Well, we could float that to Lvo and I got
four dollars almost five would uh and open the well,
look the can everything. So here's here's my concern is
the park Parking is tough. Parking has always been an
issue if you had I don't know if you can
park an area schools and bus people I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, apparently in downtown Buffalo you could park for twenty
five bucks, but they'll take you anywhere to the heart
of the city where you need to go. Yeah, all
the all the places that you need to be is
like it's within like the blocks that you need to go.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, like when you want to go sometimes
you just want to go right and now I gotta wait.
It's like an airport, you know what I'm saying. I
gotta wait for a shuttle to come and get me
and do this. And I'm not sure how all that.
Speaker 5: Buffalo spread it out though, too, because when we stayed,
we stayed right we were at the Harbor Center, which
is literally from here to the Town Hall to the
Key Bank Center, which is where the Sabers play. And
they've got they've they built it up down there on
the canal. There's you know, Pearl Streets right there. They've
got the bat Blue House just opened up. There's German
beer House, the Idinos right there.
Speaker 2: The idea before they put in the idea for a
new stadium was if we could get or if they
could get the stadium. The Bill's new STADIU, which is
now being built in Orchard Park across the street from
the State get it they wanted to see because the
idea is like you build a stadium in an arena downtown,
you build everything around it. It's just it just makes sense.
But they just couldn't do it. And I understand that.
I feel that they could have.
Speaker 5: Gone into some of that area around, like the river
by River Works. There's a lot of just well, it
depends on the buildings down there, like the General Mills.
Speaker 2: Who owns it, right, and then are they willing to
part with it? And what you know, a lot of
people would have been displaced too, Okay, So but like
either way, it was more affordable to put it.
Speaker 5: You know, then you got the baseball field right there,
you got the hockey.
Speaker 1: I agree with that. You're right, you've now built. Yes,
I think that's.
Speaker 2: Greg Connors tried to get it amended, but that it's
back hard in the backyard. Yeah, I got tickets right
from my pool.
Speaker 5: He's gonna put it in the back here. But then
he realized he couldn't lose to me a corner hall anymore.
If you put a stadium back, you do.
Speaker 1: For for New Year Yesterday, for New Year New Year's ear,
I worked most of the day and then by the way.
I'm sorry, I'm interrupting you, and I'm interrupting my own thought.
I see a lot of happy New Years on Facebook,
and I want to say, I don't. I believe that's
not correct.
Speaker 2: It's a new year. I think it's happy New year.
Speaker 5: Secular.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think people are writing happy New Years.
And but it would be New Year's Eve because it's
the possessive with apostrophe, just because I don't know why.
I know, I know, but I don't know why. Every year,
those are one of the things that bothered me just slightly.
That's your father, and you're right there. Probably maybe, I'm
not sure. So what did you do? Well?
Speaker 5: I worked most of them most of the day, and
then we started drinking about five. I just had a
bunch of appetizers and played cards against Humanity, and I
think I asked out at like ten thirty, what happened?
Speaker 2: What did you do? Did you go out? Obviously? We
went to a house party. Oh, some musicians, whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah,
excuse me, pay what is this? Yeah? I went to
a house party with some friend Randy Stein. Flu here
there were there some other banned people to people wore
the tuxedo T shirt that I told Bet I wanted
to get one. I don't have one of those, but
nobody did. I would have done it if I helped.
He was like that, I did that.
Speaker 1: I was pretty much oldam Okay, so you stayed up
to midnight?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we were there till like two nice. Yeah,
which is the latest I've stayed up in a long time. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I haven't seen the ball in probably four years.
Speaker 2: Okay, I have my penis and ten. Well, thank you, See, Alice, I.
Speaker 5: Just wanted to be two fuckers of the joke was
gonna I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't say, but I think that's on my mind.
But this you think you got to be careful about.
And I learned this a couple of years ago. TV
is now more streamed than live when you're watching it.
So if you're gonna watch the ball drop, you have
to make sure you're on time, because there there's no
point to celebrating New Year's So I go, hold on again,
look at you, Look at your phone, go to the
second hand. We got to do our own countdown, really,
and then I realized my wife and I our phones
weren't exactly alike.
Speaker 5: Nobody's were That's when I would have gotten up and
left the party a sinker.
Speaker 2: Not But here's the thing though, But here's the thing.
The TV was thirty five seconds behind. Yeah, so there's
no point of doing Happy New Year. All just countdown
on their stupid thing and who gives a ship. Oh no,
you have to do it at the second. But you're
gonna do it else.
Speaker 5: Michael, stay home.
Speaker 6: We can tell who the guy went to the party
that wasn't. I said, yeah, I really agree with me.
Of course they did hand just to shut you off.
You're right, right, you're right, dude, right, Danny shut.
Speaker 2: Up as always, You're right. I love your thoughts. Oh god,
you're great on the podcast. That would be the annoying
person at the party.
Speaker 5: I'd be throwing with Dandy in the bathroom talking to
the mirror by himself.
Speaker 1: Tostino's rolls or whatever they had those meatballs and a saw.
Speaker 2: Shut up, Danny, opened your mouth. By the way, have
you ever had lentil soup after midnight? No, it is
lentil soup from well.
Speaker 1: I've had black eyed peas and lentil soup and collar
greens and things it's supposed to be for good luck.
Speaker 2: I just hungry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the I was not planning to do much
for New Year's Eve, and uh I wound up during
the day having some champagne and some laughs with people,
and then coming in here and doing a podcast with Doug.
Speaker 2: And I brought a bottle of chapage. Oh come on, wow,
you look at you. Maybe I was talking about you.
I thought it was cute when Doug bou out the
little disco ball. He brought out a disco bow.
Speaker 1: But I popped the champagne and it went all over
me and everywhere, and that maybe what's sticky on there?
To be honest with you, that's sticky Kevin. No, No,
he just went, well, is it remote sticky? And I
didn't know, and I'm thinking that's why. So I just fi, no,
it's not here with the windows. Come on, I got no,
don't got no shame. I don't have any So uh
I did I drank. Doug did not have any champagne.
He had like a sip and like not even and
so I all of a sudden, I go, oh my god,
the bottle's gone.
Speaker 7: So I'm like, oops, it's like a bottle of wine.
Speaker 5: Though there's only two, probably about two and a half glasses.
And there's something that's not four or five champagne.
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to drink it, like like a full
glass of white. It's like stemware. You're supposed to just drink.
Speaker 5: Like maybe when I make up amosa, it's seventy five
percent champagne.
Speaker 1: And I always go, mimosa, hold the orange.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sip of orange juice for color. Even sometimes put
some blue carousel you.
Speaker 2: And every shicken toad, like the prosecco of the OJ. Yeah, yeah,
the OJ.
Speaker 1: So I did that and then I go, well, you
know what, I haven't seen some of my buddies like
Damien and stuff at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah in a.
Speaker 1: While doing all right, I don't no, I I yeah,
I mean I had texting on Christmas and stuff.
Speaker 2: But so I walked over because I saw Damien's face
on the side of a bottle of Jamison the other
day and he was missing.
Speaker 1: So I uh, I text one of the guys who's
part of that group.
Speaker 2: But I just go, hey, are you over there?
Speaker 1: And he said yeah, And I said, Okay, I walked over,
and I don't I time travel in that place because
the next thing I know, it's like nine o'clock and
I go, oh my god. But Damien left. He went
to dinner with his uh with his wifey or missus
as he called it, and uh missus.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just Nick missus.
Speaker 1: And so they went to dinner, and then this other guy, Tony,
was going home and he had ordered food. And then
I was just talking to some other people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, so this is guns.
Speaker 4: Oh my myself.
Speaker 1: So now I'm sitting there and this is a weird thing,
and I'll ask this will be more of a Danny probably.
I think Kevin will just roll his eyes at it.
But I wound up sitting at the end of the bar.
And then there was a woman sitting to the right,
but she was with another couple. I guess she was alone.
And all of a sudden she's talking to me and stuff,
and I she said to me, and I found this
almost insulting.
Speaker 2: I want to go to the bathroom with me.
Speaker 1: No, she didn't say that. She said you're cute.
Speaker 2: And I'm like that sounds like, I go, it doesn't
cute end at the age of three, Like at three,
I don't think. I think with women it continues till
as long as they want. It depends on who they're
talking to.
Speaker 5: Come on, cute and good looking here, mutually exclusive with women.
Speaker 2: Like different, okay, but the inflection is important then, and
they were also.
Speaker 5: How many drinks did she had?
Speaker 2: Who the fuck know? Thirty? No, I didn't know her.
I didn't know because.
Speaker 5: If she's if she's hammered, cute could come out. If
she's sober's probably not coming out. But if she's had
a few, probably she had a few, well, I would assume.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, she she leans over
and kisses me on the cheek as she her friends
are leaving.
Speaker 2: I go, I don't know, idea what happened here? I
have no no anything. And I should look? Was a
scale of one to ten, Billy, how should look? I
don't know that. Okay, with alcohol in you, I'm.
Speaker 1: Gonna be with I don't wonder she was a farm
I don't know that I could.
Speaker 5: I don't she was a Josh Allen baby.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I could tell you pick her
out in the lineup today she threw a touchdown to
I don't even know, because I was talking to this
other guy, Matt, and some other people. I was all
of a sudden, I think I was behind the bar
from and then so I was just being silly and
I so, I don't I didn't really remember.
Speaker 2: Paying a lot of attention, but I go, is that
I just remember? I go. I was stuck in my head.
Speaker 1: And by nine o'clock I had stopped a drinking, probably
around I tried to stop at around seven. I think
it was more like seven thirty. And then at nine
fifteen I went home.
Speaker 5: But he forgets was the age she gave him to
the bar.
Speaker 1: And then I go home and I and I like,
I lay down and I start watching the stuff uh
here dinner or whatever it was, And then I was asleep.
Speaker 2: I woke up. I think I texted, uh, why is
Witney comings out? One of my Who is this? That's
a great writer? Apparently she had to clarify her jokes
on Twitter last night. I don't know, I have no idea.
Speaker 1: She so I went on. And then next thing I know,
I'm asleep. It's three twenty five. I wake up and
I peel myself off the couch all the.
Speaker 2: Quid God yeah yeah, and I get into then I
get into back. I can't fall asleep, can that's how
it works.
Speaker 5: Cannot fall asleep.
Speaker 2: I'm laying there with your adrenaline spikes after long sleep,
all of a sudden, it's very hard to get back
down to sleep. Damn. I was like in So now
it is important. I was dragging. Did No? I did not.
I should have.
Speaker 1: I should have cracked a little more Champagne. No, I didn't,
but all by myself. You're right, I was all by myself.
Speaker 5: All uh.
Speaker 1: And then of course the new year gets off with
a little tragedy already.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, New Orleans.
Speaker 1: But there they got So they're saying they got this guy.
Apparently it was a cyber truck. Now, the FBI just
a little while ago put out a statement saying that
they believe he did not work alone. His name is
Sham Sue did Jabbar. But I think he was a
guy who was I kid, I think you did su did? Yeah,
Sue did it. No, Sham Sued din Jabbar. He was
killed in the in their firefight, but I mean he drew,
like what do you do? Thirty ten people dead or
ten people dead?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And and the tricky part was that there's supposed
to be these guardrails that go up every day, like
about five o'clock at night, like big party nights in
New Orleans. They didn't go up last night.
Speaker 1: The FBI is starting to believe he did not work alone.
That's what they're saying that they don't think here.
Speaker 2: The FBI is like botch of this from the beginning. Well,
then they post pone the Sugar Bowl or did that? Yes,
they postponed the Sugar.
Speaker 1: Bowl, but I don't know to when. I don't know
if you can look that up in any way. And
then a dedicated listener sent a text to our line
five eight five two of six eighty eight sixty six,
and they said, let's see here. I'm sure you might
be discussing what happened in New Orleans today on the pod.
An interesting take on this tragic event might be for
something in the future. Goodell is watching what they are
doing for the Sugar Bowl tonight.
Speaker 5: It will not be played today.
Speaker 1: It will not be played today. Do they say when
it'll be played?
Speaker 2: I do not see. Okay, Yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 5: That's the Georgia Notre Dame game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's been postponed. That was supposed to be tonight. Correct,
it will be.
Speaker 5: Delayed by twenty four hours and that more information will
be released as possible.
Speaker 1: Okay, so tomorrow, they're saying, Goodell is what that's what
I'm thinking of.
Speaker 2: Twenty four hours would be the same thing, because don'
think there's any NFL games Thursday night this week? No,
because everybody plays on Saturday or Sunday in the last
week of the season.
Speaker 1: So uh, they're saying, Goodell is watching what they're doing
for the Sugar Bowl tonight because he has a few
weeks where he can still.
Speaker 2: Move the super Bowl, and the super Bowl is where
this year aland New Orleans. That's the whole point.
Speaker 1: You have millionaires, et cetera coming to the game. Security concerns.
I know, it's a weird way to look at it.
Did this terror organization do this to move the Super
Bowl for different reasons, less secure at certain stadiums, et cetera.
Just the thought from a listener, d I mean, it's.
Speaker 2: A great thought. Usually once it happens in an area,
it doesn't happen again.
Speaker 1: Well lightning strike, Well, no, I see what you're saying,
But I got one example that blows that right out
of the water. One point hit a tower and then
another plane hit a tower, two separate events, same thing.
Lightning struck twice.
Speaker 2: I'm teasing why I thought about that because people were
sitting to another turtecking. Well, I don't and there was,
But I'm just saying, yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, are they postponing the game because of security
or they postponing the game because of the tragedy.
Speaker 1: I think they're postponing the game because there's an investigation
going on and they don't know super zones on lockdown,
how deep this goes. That's the only thing I could understand,
So I think, yes, for security concerns, I believe that
would be why, But I don't know.
Speaker 2: And then you know, the other thing is I'm wanting
job Biden, let that border stay open.
Speaker 1: Well, how do we know this guy is supposedly a
US citizen and was ten years in.
Speaker 2: The US Army. I just wanted to blame bi Okay,
all right, but I think that's true.
Speaker 1: I think, but from the beginning, the mayor of eve
to have served in the army for ten years.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's happened before we know this. I mean,
and then now everybody wants to say that everybody had
a what flag on there? And yeah, so yeah, we don't,
we don't know. I mean, I just I just thought
it was odd that the mayor of New Orleans immediately
says this is a terrorist attack. The FBI says, no,
it's not, and the FBI comes back and says, okay,
yes it is. But the FBI also has to play
this game a very delicate paler because they don't want
to give away too much information. They have to play
it cool. They got to be careful, so you can't
jump on them either. It's just it, but it's but
from that moment in fact, the fact that those guardrails
were not put up on the day that this attack
happened has to raise eyebrows. How does everybody, because you
know it's New Orleans, Nashville, New York, LA, Chicago.
Speaker 1: That they believe he wasn't working alone?
Speaker 2: Right, That's why That's why I say that.
Speaker 1: So I think a sure show would be a good
one to talk to about, you know, the FBI, And
how do you now, in today's day and age, keep
an investigation quiet? Like I'm always impressed when there's been
a long standing investigation and either a terrorist plot is thwarted,
a drug thing is busted wide open, because I'm like,
some people have a way of just leaking in or
tipping or I don't know, tipping their hand. But that
this part's tough because it's public, right. It was the
general population. People died, and that's it. I also watched
these fireworks and I started watching somebody had CNN on
early and they were doing like New Year's around the world.
So it was Tokyo, Thailand, Australia, and You're seeing all
the fireworks go off, and I'm seeing these boats start
to race out of the area in Sydney, and I go,
I wonder if they're raining down And then I think
on the West Coast, a fireworks went awry, two people
died and like so many injured. I think so in
the United States on the West Coast. I'm pretty sure
I saw a headline like that today. But again, I
had a lot of phone calls going on Happy New Year.
Speaker 2: New Year. Neveroy worried about trunk drivers on New Year's events.
Then we got to worry about something else.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean I think that's I almost wonder
if there's very little, not going to say completely none,
but much less drunk driving on New Year's even than
any other.
Speaker 2: Let's put because everybody's work, everybody's on high alert on
New Year's Eve, verus Thanksgiving Eve? How about to go
out tonight? So does everybody? Like I remember one year
I was lift driving on I think it was twenty
sixteen or twenty seventeen. I was lift driving and I'm
not joking. Easton Alexander looked like Times Square. It looked
like Times Square. There was so I've never seen that
many people down there at one time other than Thanksgiving Eve.
It was just fantastic. That's great. It was beautiful. I mean,
like it took me forever to get like to make
a left hand turn, but it was. It was awesome,
you know. And I wish we had more. I wish
we had more freedom and more confidence in each other
to be able to do that more often. And we
tooked that.
Speaker 5: Twenty injured in Salt Lake, Hawaii, Oh, Hawaii, and then
there was also an issue in Germany where they had
five killed. And how many Salt Lake emergency workers?
Speaker 2: Was a salt Lake Hawaii? I didn't know that. What
what was in Hawaii? How many in Hawaii?
Speaker 5: Uh too?
Speaker 1: Because the fireworks two and twenty yeah. I mean, god,
damn dude. So it's probably the people setting them off,
is what I'm thinking, right, and that explodes.
Speaker 5: I probably would have set some off last night to
if it wasn't raining. Yeah, well that's fun, but yeah,
but you're not. This is like, you know, the big
display or whatever. Something backfire, and god they are. I
am seeing that the person who they have as a
suspect in New Orleans, his ex wife got a restraining
order against him.
Speaker 2: I don't know when it's just a push notification. Well
they do. They do say that, like, according to studies,
the biggest well I shouldn't get into this, but you
probably shouldn't. Yeah, no, go ahead now, because I want
to make stric of my thoughts straight. But they say,
the biggest indicator of you know, terrorist type of events
or murderers or his spousal abuse. Oh yeah, does that
make sense? Sure? You know. So, if there's a track
record of spousal abuse, the odds are that person may
be more than likely to commit murder or violent crimes. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Somebody else just said, and I did see this too.
A cyber truck exploded in Vegas a little while ago
at Towers. Now I did see that in Vegas at
Trump Towers. I don't I don't know where President Trump
was doing the YMCA dance last night. Buddy, I would
assume mar A Lago, but I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know. But this was a Trump right now,
mar A Lagos safest place in America, maybe the world.
Maybe maybe, I mean right now, Trump's got everybody right
where he watched them. All right, we will uh, we'll
take a moment. Uh.
Speaker 1: I did see something and I'll ask you fellas.
Speaker 2: Uh. I think I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to think of it because I think,
in my opinion, this person is overstepping should keep their
mouth shut.
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers again, we will get to that right.
Speaker 1: After this twenty twenty five is upon us. Maybe you're
kicking off the new year with dry January. I've got
news that will make your resolution even sweeter. At bTB
wood Fire, Pizza and Grill, they're serving up the good
times without the guilt. That's right. Their master mixologists have

Speaker 1: Smoked pot with Jimmy Carter's son on the roof of
the White House. And I think he's ninety one or
ninety two. Now I like this version. Arlo Guthrie did it,
but this one always reminds me. I don't know why,
but I thought my dad liked Willie Nelson, so he
used to go buy on Willie Nelson albums, and he
would play this song once in a while, and the
speakers were the stereo was in their bedroom, but he
ran the speakers out the living room like there was
a wire that you know, under the floor or whatever.
Speaker 2: So this is the song.
Speaker 1: I always remember it, and I love Willie's version of it.
Speaker 2: I don't know this thing is.
Speaker 1: I haven't given it much thought or really paid much
attention to the news today too much, but it's a
little scary that that happened. And it's these minor terror
attacks keep you sort of on your toes. And I
always think that for me, I go I don't know
if I'm naive and stupid, but I walk around like nothing,
like nothing, and I feel like if I give in
to the fear of the paranoia or whatever, then I'm
giving them what they want.
Speaker 5: And most of the time it's not me. I wasn't
in New Orleans. I'm not part of the ten people.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I wouldn't stop me, which is a
callous way to go. You ten people died, Yeah, Well,
I mean like that's kind of like what your book
was talking about. You can't like allow that thinking process
to turn your mind into a worry machine. Yeah right,
that's what I think. The Bible says, be as wise
as serpents, but harmless as doves. So go about your business,
just beware. That's all Kevin. I'm sorry. Oh I like it.
Speaker 1: I love when you quote I do, because then I
can turn to him and you can go Kevin.
Speaker 2: When Kevin went to Catholic school his whole life? Yeah
what Yeah? Were the fruit of that life? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he maybe he knows these things because
he remembers Bible verses.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I like it. But the point is
the point is always that you can't go about your
life worried. No, I don't think you can let go.
Let God go about your business, but be aware there's
there's idiots out there. Yeah, watch your ass. I always
now stay to catch stay stayed on Christ. If I go, man,
you know what, I got to go hang out with Jesus.
You want to thrown me with heavan God? My uh?
And then you found out you weren't allowed to hang out,
but he.
Speaker 1: Got Jesus g e E s U s heydnn.
Speaker 5: Poor Daddy's actually hanging with Jesus. I.
Speaker 1: Uh, my dad always said do it and see. I
never I don't like this thinking now, but he would
always say, you know, a discreete.
Speaker 2: Sense of paranoia goes a long way and ninch deep
in a mile wide.
Speaker 1: I always think like, but it was about everything in life, right,
not just this kind of stuff. And I go, I
don't want to be. I don't want to be living
in paranoia. I just want to be.
Speaker 2: It sucks, man. Yeah, I can tell you that it sucks.
What do you mean living in paranoia sucks? How do
you know? Because I've lived it, You've had paranoia. Yeah,
here's the thing. It's only been I've only been right
a handful of times. But those handful of times will
drive you crazy the rest of your life. What are
you talking about, though? Is it things directly essocially?
Speaker 5: I thought you were always.
Speaker 2: Right earlier city he likes to do. But wait, now
are these things that pertain to your life? Personal life? Okay,
I'm not saying no. No. I got a feeling something's going
on all right? Yeah, so what do you do? What
do you mean?
Speaker 1: Give me an example? I got one in my head already,
But I.
Speaker 2: Give me the thought of your head on.
Speaker 1: I think that you were intuitively knew that your first
wife was stepping out on you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think you can you kind of know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But that's your intuition, that's your that to me,
right there, Dan, that's God, that is your main in crisis,
Christ's image Gods. That is God saying, step over here, Dan,
You're right, come this way, come this way, come this way.
This isn't the right thing for you. We you know,
you kept going and kept going. It's free will and yeh,
we're gonna love you and all this stuff.
Speaker 2: Now let's do it my way. But then it's this
doesn't work, so let's come over here.
Speaker 1: And I think you kind of know in your gut, right,
I got a lot of gut feelings that I haven't
followed sometimes and it doesn't pay. I have a gut
feeling now about something that.
Speaker 2: But when you have OCD though an then it becomes magnified.
Right now, it's every time, and ninety nine times out
of one hundred, it's nothing. Yes, right, that's the point, right,
that's my point. Right.
Speaker 1: But sometimes in these other situation, I mean, give me
one that isn't cheating on you. Wow, Like that I
gotta think, simmer, hold.
Speaker 2: On, That's not what I meant. At one point we
worked together. Thought I was getting let go on Friday
for no apparent reason whatsoever. Well, you probably weren't too
wrong in that one either.
Speaker 1: I mean I I I only because I knew how
they were operating. And I foolishly tell you something later
on that you know, like.
Speaker 2: When you fed into it, Yeah, and then nothing happened. No,
but I this was like years before. Yeah, but I
think I don't know if I fit into it.
Speaker 1: I know that I had told you that I had said,
this is ridiculous, and just yes, I tried to advocate
a little bit here and keep the team together. I
liked the team. I didn't want any outside. I don't
want I don't want to be changed.
Speaker 2: I don't mean to like dig that up you out.
I'm just kidding. An example. Well, here's the here, But
here's something else. Today.
Speaker 1: I had a conversation with someone and I said, remember
when I used to say a certain phrase to them
and you this, Well was my son. It was my son,
and he used to get a very upset when he
would be losing a track in ninth grade. And I said,
to him, and he would be like, all frustrated, and
I would go, let's just walk, have dignity for yourself,
forgive yourself. Don't let other people see this side of you,
because they're not gonna interpret it as though you're frustrated.
They're gonna interpret it as though you're whatever. And he
sand something to me today he had called me for
New Year's and I said, remember that when I would
say that, And he's like yeah, And I said, and
how much do those races mean today, winning or losing them?
Speaker 2: What impact do they have on your life right now? Nothing?
Speaker 1: And so I said, in the moment, I get it,
and it's the meaning. But nothing has any meaning other
than the meaning you apply to it. So it meant
to you that you sucked and you didn't, you weren't
good enough, which maybe what drove you to become this
hulking human being that can bench three to five hundred pounds.
I'm not even sure, but somewhere in there, and that
could be the thing I always want to say once
in a while, if I can't find anything I really
want to watch and I don't feel like reading, I
will rewatch The Last Dance.
Speaker 2: With Michael Jordan and I took personally.
Speaker 5: Yes, I am rewatching that, and I thought, holy crap,
that's sort of like my kid, like you weren't good enough.
Speaker 2: And that drove Jordan, That drove Kobe, that drove Josh Allen.
That stuff drove them. That drove you. I remember you
talking about it long before there was a Last Dance,
Michael Jordan talking about like getting cut from his basketball
team and what drove him. I remember this Michael Jordan.
The national sports media panned his Hall of Fame speech
of it was like that. And then Bill get this
guy gets up on a on a Monday morning and goes,
let me tell you a whole something, and they starts
posturing up like that. I never forgot this. I never
forget He goes, he just gave you the blueprint on
how to succeed in life. And you're gonna piss all
over it. Daddy dumped that. Can't say piss oh you
dump that again? Brown again, dump twinsigh or any I
haven't even got my friend's cop and copy Brown. But
the point was that Michael Jordan's blueprint was paranoia, being
taking things personally. That was his thing, but that could
also go toxic if you take everything personally, can I
think rewatching it again?
Speaker 1: There was somebody who said that he was almost and
it's not the words.
Speaker 2: They use, but like an enlightened being.
Speaker 1: They didn't know anybody else who is as in the
moment as Michael Jordan. Like in the moment, nothing else
mattered the last shot that he took. It didn't matter
the miss, the whatever, the whatever's happened, it just never mattered.
Speaker 2: It was always about this. Now.
Speaker 1: The drive was like the whole story about the guy
who hugged him after a game and said great game, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Thirty seven, this kid from Cleveland and he never did yeah.
Speaker 1: And then he's like you know, or the whole thing
where Jordan comes in to visit some guys playing basketball
and this rookie from Utah's like, man, you retire before
I even got a shot that I could have taken.
You man, oh man, I could have write all this.
Now they play and in the finals and he just
beats theah God.
Speaker 2: He just take just wipes the floor. And then even
in the I took that.
Speaker 1: Poor kid and I'm like, yeah, that poor kid's playing
and he's the best of the best, and I don't know,
like the year. It was interesting because I go much
like your Tom Brady and Belichick and who made whom
and right all this thing. I think they had the
perfect storm in Chicago, and I think they had the
perfect storm in New England. For many years, you had
somebody Brady, you had Jordan. We we just know more
about what Brady did than because information has changed, and
it's we get a lot of behind the scenes stuff.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that Jordan was lifting weights and doing
all this shit. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I had no idea, but the drive that that guy
had and the year that he went to play baseball
and he doesn't play basketball. And they get to the
Eastern Conference finals and lose to the Knicks, and in
that moment where you know, all of a sudden, Scotti
Pippin's ego gets bruised because the play isn't coming to
him for the final shot and he decides to sit.
Speaker 2: At it out right. All okay, But.
Speaker 1: The team did pretty well and it was a great
coaching job by Phil Jackson.
Speaker 2: But then the next year they were abysmal, and it
was more because they.
Speaker 1: Did trade away some guys and you didn't have you know,
a lot of people that were used to this, they
get used to life without Michael Jordan right then jan
side second season and now in May.
Speaker 2: But the Jordan thing that is interesting to.
Speaker 1: Me, and I believe this, uh he I think he
would have made it to the major leagues.
Speaker 2: I know, people go, there's no way, no way.
Speaker 1: He works so hard and they even say that and
how good. And I think it was Tony frank is A.
Speaker 2: He was the bring him manager.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he said, he goes, the guy was hitting
whatever he hit. He goes, we have superstar players that
are upcoming that didn't hit.
Speaker 2: That way that well or have that. His first year
he was okay this set. By the second year he
was ready to become a major league baseball player.
Speaker 5: He was on track to because it was to strike
and he said, I'm not crossing the picket line.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't know where this is going. And
it didn't sit well with him, so he went back.
Speaker 2: Back to basketball. Right by the way in Buffalo, he
was supposed to play for the Nashville Sounds in Triple A.
Opening day pilot field in Buffalo sold out. Show right,
Jordan announces in February he's going back to the NBA.
So we're talking like, this is a stadium that drew
a million people a year for several years Minor league
baseball in Buffalo. They drew five hundred people that opening night,
or twelve thousand empty seats because Jordan wasn't playing, so
people just threw their tickets away. They came to see
Jordan and he wasn't there. But yeah, he was on
He was on track to become a major League baseball player.
He would have had He was awful his first year
by the time he saw him in his second year, Like,
this guy looks like he's ready for the majors. But
he was driven.
Speaker 5: He was nuts.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is. It is a nuts.
Speaker 1: It's it is a little bit compulsion, but he the
whole thing, Like he's just such a competitor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the betting on.
Speaker 1: Golf, the cards, all that shit. Okay, but there's nothing
wrong with that. Yeah, you know, he just was driven.
But he was very in the moment and didn't let
things affect his psyche.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to have a very special makeup for that.
Speaker 1: I guess so, because god damn, I haven't seen anybody
like that. Again, I'm sure there are We could start.
Speaker 2: At Kobe Bryant texting Jordan at three o'clock in the morning,
What did you do? What did you do? What did
you do? How'd you do it? How'd you do it?
How'd you do it? Nobody else did that? Lebron didn't
do that. No, that's why Jordan loved Kobe so much,
because Kobe was relentless. And who did Kobe remind Jordan
of him? Jordan?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's an interesting thing. I always kind of
go back there. All right, this is the thing I
wanted to ask you guys. They after the Commander's game
when they won right in the was it overtime?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah, h.
Speaker 1: The safety Jeremy Reeves got down on one knee and
proposed to his girlfriend.
Speaker 2: Okay, I guess that's a good time to do it.
I don't know. I don't know. That doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Some chick jumps on Twitter and start saying that she
was his side piece, and you know, uh, he's in
her DMS, trying to fly her out, trying to bang her,
trying to do all this stuff. So whether or not
it ever happened, I don't know. She's spoken past ten,
but I go, if you know you're the side piece.
Why are you gonna I maybe I'm wrong. I mean,
you tell me, but I go, I just shut up.
Just understand that you finished a second. Yeah, but I
mean silver metal is still a metal baby. I mean
I gotta think, like you know, maybe that woman has
a right to know. Then I would try to find
a way to privately contact her. But I'm not going
on social media to get attention.
Speaker 5: Or is it just bitches being crazy? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. So many things now that we
see and.
Speaker 2: This is the problem, our knee jerk reaction.
Speaker 5: Everybody's got them, like you spout off, you say something,
you do it, but everything's now caught on camera or whatever.
Or now I can get on and I'm a little
buzz and I'm gonna tell them what I really fucking think.
Speaker 1: And then you hit send. And then the next day
you wake up and you know, you don't know why
you know so and so is texting and going I'm
never talking to you again.
Speaker 2: What did I do? You know what I'm saying? I did?
Speaker 5: I go? Why?
Speaker 2: I get it?
Speaker 1: You want to tell somebody that he's not as faithful
as you think?
Speaker 2: Whatever? Okay, but to do this seems shitty to me.
It's so bad on so many levels. First of all,
you knew you were the side piece, so you're just
as guilty number one. Number two, you don't do it nationally,
You don't do it publicly. You do it privately. Say hey, listen,
we got it. Your your boyfriend there. Oh my god,
Well you can't get on the Bachelor if you do
it privately. Here, here's what the point is. Like, everyone's
an opportunist in this country. And here's what she put
out there.
Speaker 1: And it might be the summer not the same man
who is in my DM is trying to fly me
out and f me. I think thing not. And then
somebody oh under the NFL. Okay, so the NFL does
a congrats too at j R. One Era and his fiance,
and she writes underneath it L L No. I flew
out there, got banged ate, good food, got.
Speaker 2: Some money, and came home. Okay, so you did your job.
Speaker 5: I got paid. Get out that I go.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's the point, you know, So family
can see this now, people can worry about the I
get it all right, but.
Speaker 2: It's just drips of evil.
Speaker 5: Yes, well.
Speaker 1: Directs how many how narcissistic.
Speaker 2: We are We've because such a whole self loathings or
self loving and self loathing. I think there's a I
think there's a unity ink to that. Yes, I have
nothing that I wanted you to say, but thoughts. No,
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But you have to really hate
yourself to want to love yourself that much, to be
so narcissistic, to go out there and to cling on
to somebody else's moment, to go yeah, but look at me,
because this happened, It's like, well, I mean there are
some things that are that can be funny, like and
I'm gonna get my own reality show like Kevin said,
I'm gonna be on the Bachelor. I'm gonna get this
look at me.
Speaker 1: I watched a but she didn't know what she was
doing there.
Speaker 2: No, I know that. But the point is everybody wants
to be her? Yes, yes, what does that tell you? Yes,
everyone wants to be a Kardashian. We are nothing but
vanity projects in this country.
Speaker 5: She is I think I've seen that band before.
Speaker 2: I think so too. That was why I named the band.
That's why I named the band the Vanity Project. Is
that one dead that one's dead. All right, Yeah, that's gone.
By the way, we've got a season desist am about
that too? Oh you did? Yeah? Because barely like Stephen
Page who used to be in uh Bernica Ladies. His band,
his next pod, Trajic, was called the Vanity Project, so whatever.
All right, Well, it kind of makes you feel good
that somebody paid it that. Yeah, graduations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I always think that you're you're better off not
blasting or stuff around or says a lot about you too.
Speaker 2: You would do that, but they don't care. The real
housewives of what name the city? Those aren't the real housewives.
Those don't want to be housewives. I've never watched any
of those shows. They're refused, they're awful.
Speaker 1: People who like them and get can kind of get
sucked up in them, and there's an audience for it.
Speaker 2: That's fine. I just I'm sad it's pathetic.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing is, I think as human beings,
we like drama.
Speaker 2: Even though we're gonna say I'm drama free. I don't
like the drama. People have an appetite for it, But
then you get even in your own life.
Speaker 5: I don't like the drama in my life. I'd like
to sit back and watch yeah, yeah, yeah, but that
shit stir a little.
Speaker 2: All right. Now, here's here's something that's interesting, because this
leads me to another.
Speaker 1: Thing that I was having a conversation with one of
my sons. I go, sometimes in life, it's great to
to if you can step outside yourself and watch things
for as they are. And I knew this at a
really young age. My grandmother to me was loving and
wonderful and all that, but she was a cartoon character
and she did these absolutely fucking hilarious funny things, funny things,
but she had an edge, and she could be very nasty,
and she could be nasty too many people. And when
she died, I spoke at the restaurant, at the funeral
or the memorial, whatever we're doing. And my aunt my
marriage but married in nineteen seventy six, so my aunt
I was in their wedding I was five, and her
best friend came up to me and goes, thank you
for recognizing because I said she could be tough, you know,
And she said, thank you for saying that, because she
gave your aunt an awful time for years.
Speaker 2: You know. And I don't know what that is. Maybe
it's an Irish thing.
Speaker 1: I've no idea, but she had an edge and she
would always say oh like I think she even at
one point, many many many many years ago, when my
father started dating my mom, she would call my father
mister know it all? Oh what is miss to know
it all?
Speaker 2: Say? And all this shit? But I found her fun,
Like she's the one who took my underwear when I
was a little kid. Oh, I always go, what's this?
What's this?
Speaker 1: Didn't you about to teach you to wipe? Because you
had streaks in your underwear? You were a kid, you
had skid marks. This is what happens, right, you're your
little boy that I show me a little boys underwear
it doesn't have streak marks.
Speaker 2: And I'll show you a ninety year old guys who
doesn't have streak marks. They don't exist. Yeah, it's like Bigfoot.
They don't exist. So or Jesus. No, I'm kidding. I'm
kidding with it. No, I know, but what No, I
think Jesus did exist. I think there was exist. It does, okay, But.
Speaker 1: I just was like, can you step back and see?
Because I never got involved in her drum.
Speaker 2: But I loved her drama, like Kevin said, I loved entertaining. Oh,
it's great.
Speaker 1: And if I could set something off like she would
get annoyed when I would go in the bathroom and
I take a tape recorder and I flush the toilet
and go, I'm drune and then I would just play
it outside her door, you know.
Speaker 2: Or there was a night like she's saying, she's the
one we laid the roses on. Yeah. Us.
Speaker 5: And there's just so many many sort of like the time,
do you remember the phone call?
Speaker 2: I know what it SAYDS like your aunt and your grandmother. Yeah,
And I try to look for that. I can't find
that call. It was my birthday.
Speaker 1: I'm out mowing the lawn and I had an early
edition one of the phones that they used to open
up like this, and it was one of the first
time because I could post on Facebook social media for
my phone.
Speaker 2: It was one of the first times.
Speaker 1: I'm mowing the lawn and I'm listening to music and
I must have not had a signal in some part
who knows, and I all of a sudden, then my
phone's ringing and I hear.
Speaker 2: Oh, happy birthday, Billy. What are you doing? I said,
I'm mowing the lawn said, oh, on your birthday, did
you hear our call? Did you get our message? And
I said no, good, don't don't listen to it. I went, fuck, yes,
I will. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: And it's my aunt and my grandmother trying to leave
me a birthday message. And they get into a fucking fight,
screaming at each other, and she's going high, you know
it's grandma, Hi Billy, Ma, it's his voicemail. I know,
Hi Billy, Happy birthday. And then like a pause and
she goes, you're hearing the mega. I MA, it's his voicemail.
Speaker 2: He can't talk. I know what it is.
Speaker 6: Mary, all right, fine, if you know it is on't
you leave me alone?
Speaker 5: Let me die?
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead and die like this is all on
the voicemail. This is what I'm talking playing on the radio. No, yes,
And I played it on the radio, which is almost disrespectful.
Speaker 1: Now other people would hear that and go, oh my god,
it sounds like they're abusing each other, that this isn't right.
Speaker 2: Someone should interfere in this relationship.
Speaker 5: Be all worried.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to get involved in the drama. It
was just saying it was like how they my grandmother
lived in ninety six.
Speaker 5: This is the shit that.
Speaker 2: Kept her alive. Yes, you know what I'm saying, right,
And it's how you look at it, man, it's how
you You got to get perspective, perspective.
Speaker 1: If you can step away. That's what Kevin's thing is.
He loves to be a shit stir ye stirred up.
Speaker 2: I can watch it. I just don't want to get involve. Well,
Kevin will get involved during the during the pot like,
hey what about that time, Kevin.
Speaker 1: I'm just I can't do that. That's I don't have
it in my day. I love stirring the pot. We
all mean, like my one of my favorite stories about
my grandmother was the one when when she was up
at my mom and dad's house and my mom had
a TV under the kitchen cabinet, little TV, and she
and I are sitting there and the news report comes
on about this year they're allowing Gaze to march in
the Saint Patrick's State Parade, and so we're going back,
like God, I don't even know if my kids were
born six years No, I think it was back in
the nineties and the Saint Patrick's Day Parade was a
big deal in my family because my grandfather always marched
in it as a New York City fireman and blah blah.
So and they're very irish, and uh, I hear my
grandmother Gough makes some kind of grunting noise, and I so,
I'm just I'm watching this, and I go, I know
they put that, and I say it like this, and
it's terrible, and I don't mean to insult anyone. That's
not the point. The point was I was stern the
pot and I went, they put that filthy thing in
their mouth. She goes to Billy, right, and it's just
she and I sitting there. Everybody else has left the room.
We're just sitting there watching and all of a sudden,
out of nowhere, she starts gagging.
Speaker 2: Like literally going she's thinking about it.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Grandma, what's the matter. Put that filthy
thing in their mouth? Now I can't fucking breathe. I
am like just I am. And that was that's the ship.
The drama didn't directly affect me. It's my grandmother, not
my mother, you know what I'm saying. So that's where
sometimes it's hard when there's drama and stuff. But if

Speaker 1: What good can drink and do? A young Janis Joplin
who sounds boy. Her voice got raspy as she went on.
Speaker 2: Died at twenty seven.
Speaker 1: What was the name of her band, the movie Jannis
Jump and then the holding the Holding company, a holding company.
Speaker 2: And they went out and continue to play, did they Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, they did for a while, but I don't know
they I don't know if they did any albums or anything,
but I think they toured once in a while, and
they came on festivals and places like that.
Speaker 2: You don't hear a ton of Janis Joplin songs over
the year. They hear a lot of Hendrix. You've always
heard what.
Speaker 1: I like Janis a lot, but a lot of them
were not herds. I mean, I think probably the most
famous one would be me and Bobby McGee, and that
was written by Chris Christofferson, So I don't know. And
she died right after recording that, I think.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: I think I thought Chris Christofferson was mixing that in a.
Speaker 2: Studio when he found out she died. Okay, yeah, like
either the night.
Speaker 1: Before they record her a couple of nights before, but
I thought that was the case. He's another interesting one,
like brilliant. People just find their way. Like he was
a really bright guy. I think a Rhodes scholar, a
military school.
Speaker 2: He was a helicopter pilot. He he got to academy,
I thought, I think so yeah. He ended up getting
in the music industry by parking his helicopter on Johnny
Cash's lawn and coming out with two beers. Hey, let's
have a drink. I want to talk. I got a
song I wrote for you know, Johnny Cash wasn't home,
but of course it got Cash's attention. And this is
what kind of catapulted Christopherson into fame. Whatever you gotta do, man, whatever.
I took that personally.
Speaker 1: On Facebook, I saw and this is terrible. Well, I
just want to let you know that sometimes side what
goes on inside my head, I saw two things. Taking
a shower, Well, okay, that was Damien's fault, because Damien
Kevin called and I was talking to Hey, I did
post a shower video. I haven't done that in a while.
And then Kevin was calling me and the phone was
on the counter, and so I stepped out of the
shower and just picked it up and talked to Kevin
while in the shower.
Speaker 2: It was hot. And then and he goes, he rub
your bulls for me, so I got just did.
Speaker 1: And then and while we were on the phone, Damien
was beeping in so I let it go and then
I called him back and he goes, hey, we were
just talking about you. Come on down to Thirsty's. We're
hanging out here, and I knew he was going there.
I just and I said, I'm in the shower, and
he goes, I'm going to FaceTime you, and I said okay,
and so he facetimed me and passed it around the bar, screaming.
Speaker 2: That this is what a beach weell looks like. I
am heavier than I've been in a while.
Speaker 1: No, but what I saw on Facebook was somebody, and
this is very cruel of me, somebody posting a picture
of a deceased loved one saying something like eight years
or whatever, still miss you and love you. And I
looked at the picture and the man was rather homely.
Speaker 2: Looking, and they went well. I almost wrote, thank.
Speaker 1: God, thank god you loved them, because who else could
love that fame?
Speaker 2: But it was horrible.
Speaker 1: It's a horrible thought to have, Like I go, WHOA,
that's a pretty ugly dude, just mean and horrible and
that's somebody's loved one and that. But sometimes I go,
are those things? Should we put them out public? I
guess we do, right, It's just.
Speaker 2: The way we are. Well, my older sister died, I
was still on Facebook. I didn't talk about it. I
didn't mention it. Well, everybody's different, you know, you guys.
It drove me nuts when people would try to like
use that for sympathy and some people. Everybody mourns differently.
I'm not going after those who do it like in
earnest and genuine, there's there were other people who so
I just like didn't even want to invite the idea
of it. And whoever, anybody who knew knew, Yeah, pointing
people move with the point. Yeah, Kevin's always been very
private about that stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't remember you ever making a big deal money.
Speaker 2: I mean, your mom passed about a year ago, right
or two.
Speaker 5: I'm just lazy and I don't I usually just go
on Facebook and look I don't I don't post very often.
Speaker 1: No, but you don't talk about those things. I mean,
I'm not trying to, like, let's get into it, Kevin.
Let's see, can we make Kevin emotional. That's not I'm
just saying like you you're just you're sort of like
being in that regard, like I don't want to make
a big deal.
Speaker 5: I just do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think people help. We just see
the ones that don't.
Speaker 1: All Right, Then I saw a person I uh remember
when we used to say, I don't know you were
around for this one. Hey, Joe Bricado did a song
once called three Mustard Broads because there was French's Mustard
Day one hundred and all of a sudden, he just
made up a song on the spot and we just
to sing it all the hey hey three mustard But
but we turned that into hey, hey, hard living broad
like you could really tell, right.
Speaker 2: Remember Timmy used to sing that. I was wondering where
that came from. That's where it came from.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at Facebook and the guy went to
college was posts a picture and I think he's divorced
and he's getting back and he's got this picture of
a woman. He's standing next to her like like they're
a couple.
Speaker 2: I don't know if there are a couple or not.
Speaker 1: Somebody write comments a couple and I look at it
and I go, I went, wow, this chick looks like
she stepped off the set of Duke's a Hazard.
Speaker 2: Like she's got the.
Speaker 1: Big hair but not high, but long and thick and
you know, curled and all. This kind of had an
eighties twang to it. And I'm looking at her face
and I go, yeah, she was attractive.
Speaker 2: In six.
Speaker 5: Mookie thought she was hot round and third, I know
she was hot like a couple of whiskey bottles ago.
She just looked a little worn, leathered, And I gotta
show you this picture, and I was like, whoa, and hey, great,
look a couple of hey hey, I go, why are
you fucking lion?
Speaker 2: I want to go, why are you fucking lion?
Speaker 7: Dude? Run?
Speaker 2: Run? What's just again? Horrible?
Speaker 1: Horrible?
Speaker 2: And probably that's all I'm saying. You didn't post it.
I didn't, which is nice.
Speaker 5: He put it out on a public podcast.
Speaker 2: But I'm not saying who it is. I'm not there.
We'll find him maybe maybe not All.

band too.
Speaker 2: His wife we had a meeting and we were talking,
Oh my god. No, by the way, dinners, it's sick.
Speaker 5: That would be the greatest story in twenty twenty five,
Like the Bills could win the super Bowl and that
would still trump Danny getting kicked out of the band
by his wife.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, if the Bills won the If
that was a trade off, I would take it.
Speaker 8: Ever, if you're.
Speaker 5: Still working over here, you're still working over here.

Speaker 2: I think I know the theme, do yah? Yeah, there's
all songs that are to turn in thirty ow now
then yep? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Ah, all right, so he still lost by a fucking million.
Speaker 2: Well, I did he lost me? See he got it.
You know I had two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteenth,
I had fifteen points plus the theme. You didn't say
that four six. My theme was songs made in nineteen
ninety five.
Speaker 5: Ten, give yourself, five, you tew you win fifteen. I'm
not giving him.
Speaker 2: He didn't.
Speaker 5: He didn't say it first.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, songs that turn in thirty. We're starting to
know what the theme is. And I went, oh, I
know that because like the key was like Mattel make
my money in ninety fall.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, starting to hear with a tie, just to
give you a chance.
Speaker 2: And now I know we're gonna go for a two
point of version. Here's the thing is I saw.
Speaker 1: Are they re releasing this album from Alanis Morissett.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what they do now. They just re rereleased
records No but for heard for thirty thirty, Yeah, thirtieth.
But are they But there's got to be some incentive
on there. No, you mean in other words, but additional material.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm sure there is, because like she's been on
game shows now they're like bringing her out more and
more because she did Dave Coolier die. No, he's got.
Speaker 5: The cancers.
Speaker 2: Okay, I couldn't remember that just came out. Yeah, yeah,
I was trying to remember.
Speaker 5: She was a great concert. She was great live.
Speaker 1: I you know where I really enjoyed her is on
Curb your Enthusiasm because, uh, she plays like a private
fundraiser party and Larry walks up to her and it's
the song what's your song that you want to know?
He goes, come on, you can tell me what it's about.
I mean, it's much like you know, and it just
was it was funny. And then I think she does
tell him, but somebody makes a lot of noise so
we can't hear or know something else. I think it
didn't finally come out that she did admit that it
was about Dave COOLi yeah, she I.
Speaker 2: Thought she did. And they've actually they've they've talked about it.
They've talked about it.
Speaker 5: They're cool. I think she wished him block with everything
that's going on with them.
Speaker 2: But like there's another song came out later because her
second album flopped, and then a third record she came
out with. She had a song called hands Clean and
it was about another guy in the record industry who
she admitted she was fooling around with when she was
a kid and he was an adult. And that's what
some people were like, well is this the sequel to
you ought to know? And it wasn't. It was a
different story altogether. But she held back one like as
though this person was uh was she she was Nickelodeon,
wasn't she? Or Canadian? Yeah she was. You can't do
that on television.
Speaker 5: She was going on for like four or five episode.
Speaker 2: She was a Canadian pop star and like nothing sold,
so then they packaged her as this rock star. They
give this huge record and everything else, and then that
was it was one album. Wonder interesting. Yeah, well ironic.
Speaker 5: She set out there touring and selling places.
Speaker 2: Out where did you see her? I saw her in
Charlotte this year. No, this was a couple of years back.
Speaker 1: Well I would assume maybe she's gonna go out again.
Speaker 2: All those nineties bands.
Speaker 5: She's been touring pretty consistent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all they could do. Now she took time off.
Speaker 5: I think she had her kids and kind of raise
them up a little bit, and now she's back out doing.
Speaker 2: It all right.
Speaker 1: Look at lanas Moore said, Yeah, yeah, I could never decide,
which is again very very shallow, hot or not.
Speaker 2: I couldn't really, I couldn't figure that out. Yeah, I
know guys in high school loved her. I didn't think
she was that hot attractive, but she had a unique look.
Speaker 1: Her hair was very long, and I was just like,
I like long hair, but now that long or maybe
I do, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: All right, we will close it out for the first
show of twenty twenty five, which I was debating on, and.
Speaker 2: I'm glad Kevin that I'll come in. All right, Yeah,
we'll do it. Then Danny here you what time do they? Buddy?
Speaker 4: All?
Speaker 2: My wife plans everything, so I know she plans her plans.
He's getting kicked out of this fucker have fucking.

Danny in the healthy You might try out.
Speaker 5: You might not even made the audition.
Speaker 2: No, Diggler's Bridge.

Michael will tell you might that back when the East
End was a big deal in our city. There's a
picture of Dan it is rock star quality playing YouTube.
I remember just being in awe of watching you. That
was one of the You're also probably half of the
bag no, No, it was more than that.
Speaker 2: That was it was a very memorable moment and I
wish there's a picture of it. Yeah, there's a few pictures.
Den Jones took video. It's a phenomenal We were singing
food Fighters and then there's there's several pictures. There was
a youtwo song you did do, We did well. We
started the show with Streets Have No Name, and the
reason was because we were playing it. Like I love
the video of that song. It was like we're playing
on the streets of Rochester playing that song. Yeah, it
was really love. That's how we opened the show.
Speaker 5: We open Man's Band right there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we opened up for fifty to fifty, who, I
argue is the greatest cover band in Rochester history. Okay,
I wish they would bring back Easton Fest. I don't
think they ever will. It'll be awesome.
Speaker 5: That would be the name of alvi O's bar up here,
Uncle Plums.
Speaker 1: That's very good, very good, Kevin for Kevin, you are
with another great theme that tune for Danny for basically
really kicking on my ass.
