Speaker 1: When your old career gives you lemons. Throwing some ice,
mixing some vodka.
Speaker 2: Colored a podcast from the Mac of All Trade Studio
in Fairport and driven by Victor Chrysler Dots jeep Ram.
Speaker 1: It's Billified, the Bill Moran Podcast.
Speaker 2: Well, hello and welcome.
Speaker 1: Thanks for getting your pot on. Thank you for telling
a friend. That's how we spread the word about the
ras Ship. I think we all survived Christmas, the Christmas
holiday barely barely? Why why barely? Just barely? Wasn't enough drinking?
Not enough drink, not enough drinking. I thought there was
gonna be I thought you were taking your foot off
the gas for a little bit. That's why there wasn't
enough drinking. Well, I don't know. My Christmas was pretty nice,
pretty incredible, my sister, And yeah, you did nothing.
Speaker 3: Probably no, I washed a dish, a dish, annoyed the
shit out of people. Probably you know you do my podcast.
Speaker 2: But the amount of food and drink that I consumed
can only be described as criminal. I swear to God.
I think that during the holidays I have gained There
could be an argument made ten pounds, but definitely five pounds.
Speaker 1: What was the best thing? Mustafa made.
Speaker 2: They made homemade pasta from a pasta maker, so they
made it themselves for Christmas Eve dinner with what was
a vegetarian meat sauce. You couldn't tell that it wasn't meat,
and facata bread and a great salad and then all
the desserts. But I just the drinking. I mean the
amount of wine I consumed. It's family, I know, I know,
but I look this up just to see from like
health standards, and I guess I like to shame myself
educationally because a healthy and substantial rate of weight gain
is about a half a pound to one pound per week.
So what I accomplished over Christmas, so it taking two
to five months above average, that's right.
Speaker 1: I did it in like a long weekend. That's how
I did it. And I gotta tell you, I don't know.
I don't know. If it's like people go, oh, it's
your metabolism, I don't think so. I think it's the commitment.
I really committed to this, because there was every kind
of fucking cookie, Like there are cookies and candies and
you know, you're just shoving shit in your face and
crackers and cheese and spreads and you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean will I don't I know I
have none. I definitely have none. And I came down
with So I came down with like two bottles of red,
two bottles of white, and two bottles of champagne.
Speaker 1: My sister had. That's it. That's like a Saturday for
the Morans. Well, I know that there were certain people
who don't drink and certain people do so, and I
thought maybe we would take our foot off the guests. Meanwhile, really,
my sister really had every kind of bottle of wine
you'd want it.
Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, was this the wine that
you had to uh to uh door dash to your house?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, no, that was for Thanksgiving? Okay, yeah, yeah,
I don't know if you if you doubled down. No,
I didn't. Uh you actually went to the liquor store.
Speaker 2: I was actually where like I went to the one
right across the street. Yeah, basically I just wanted to walk,
you fat fuck. No, I didn't walk. I didn't walk
at all. And but here's the here's the weird part.
So I got LaMarcus champagne. You'll see it in every
liquor store when you walk in. I think that's how
you pronounce. It's got like a light blue label. It's
more of a prosecco. It's pretty good.
Speaker 3: It's it's not your Ace of Spades, but it's not
your Jay Rose.
Speaker 1: You got it. So I go, I picked this up
and to get your Josh. Doesn't Josh have a champagne?
I think they may.
Speaker 2: I got, uh. Of course I had the I had
Josh red and white. I had the Josh red and white.
That's what I got.
Speaker 1: I like the Josh.
Speaker 2: But Josh is really like probably middle of the road.
Now here's the thing. I can't tell what's a great
wine from a bad wine.
Speaker 1: I couldn't well stay in your mouth long enough or
your glass. It's like a guinness. Yeah, but wait, it
takes it a get us in thirteen years. Let me
let me rephrase that. Let me rephrase that.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that I can't tell because there are
some you you go, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 1: Right? But I when you get like.
Speaker 2: A Josh, I couldn't tell a Josh from something more
expensive that's also a cabernet.
Speaker 3: I don't think I can. I mean it's the same
thing with whiskeys. I mean I went to a friend
of ours house. This is probably a couple of years ago, huh.
And he's got an expansive whiskey collection in this basement.
Speaker 2: And he brought out some pappy. Okay, Pappy is happy
is very high end. High end pappy is like one
hundred dollars a bottle. I think a shot some of
them really. Oh yeah, when you get up there. It
depends on how many ags. Right, yeah, but I couldn't.
Speaker 3: I couldn't discern the difference between that and like a
fifty dollars bottle of high West.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm glad you're saying this.
Speaker 2: And I don't know. I'm not saying people can't, right.
I know there's I always say it wrong.
Speaker 3: Somalier, Thank you Somalians. I know there's people not just
for daycares of Minnesota anymore.
Speaker 1: They they.
Speaker 2: There are people who just have that discerning palate. Okay,
I get it, but I don't have it. So at
one point my sister says, hey, how about some champagne?
And she and I said, oh, I got a couple
of bles.
Speaker 1: She goes, oh, I got some Simverre down there, cheap skate,
I got some.
Speaker 2: I got some really good stuff. And I hear from
the kitchen. H you're too old and life's too short to.
Speaker 1: Drink shitty champagne.
Speaker 2: Now, they weren't talking about my champagne. They're just saying
maybe they were, maybe they weren't.
Speaker 1: I didn't care.
Speaker 2: So my sister opens a bottle of champagne and then
I go, oh my god, I'm so bad. This is
a bottle of champagne that I think retails for like
one ten of bottle. Now, she claims at the costco
by them, they were able to get it for like
seventy dollars a bottle, but I spent one hundred on
all the bottles.
Speaker 1: That I brought. Now here's the fucked up part.
Speaker 2: The higher end champagne didn't taste as good to me
as the other stuff. It's not as sweet, it's dryer,
it's a little more. But they had I think they
had one bottle of the fruit almost.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they and I like it ry. I don't like
it as sweet. Well, the prosecco I had drink.
Speaker 2: I've been hanging out with chicks who drink prosecco, and
so then I have infections.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, no I do.
Speaker 2: I just milk it and the uh makedough, uh bread
and sour dough's Oh definitely sour, my god. But I
have like if I go over on a if I
have brunch, if I'm at bTB, I have.
Speaker 1: I always I had a couple then next that with
orange juice, which makes it a little sweeter.
Speaker 2: No, but I also say light on the oj or
like I vitamin see it when I'm gonna get scurvy.
When I was with my son, Jackson, he works at
he was working a brunch at this place. They were
having breakfast with Santa made at one o'clock reservation. I
show up and uh, he brings me Uh. I said,
he was, what do you want? And I said, like
a mimosa, he was, but most are bloody Mary?
Speaker 1: Was he your server? Yeah? Did you have to tip?
I did? I did? I didn't have to. They caught
me the all the food I ate, and I ate
a lot, and we can tell, yeah, I ate a lot,
And then I think, yeah, I tipped him like twenty
five bucks. I don't know. I had already given him
so much money and paid for every other file he
went in the bag. It's like this cheap motherfucker out here.
Speaker 2: Well, he just sent me a thing today going, hey,
my rents paid through March. I go, congratulations, he goes,
financial freedom feels great, like okoy.
Speaker 1: We went to first brand in a while.
Speaker 2: We went to an Irish bar Kevin. I swore to god,
I paid in all cash. I must have dropped two
hundred bucks at this bar between he and I just
drinking guinness or drinking guinness, and then I ordered uh.
Then he said he was hungry. So he goes, there's
a pizza place next door. I give him money, comes
back with two slices. There's very few people in the bar.
The bartenders giving a ship. Oh you didn't know, scream
like go back and get a pie.
Speaker 1: So now I bought a pot. I don't even know.
I don't know. I didn't know that was That was
me Friday night in Buffalo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just it just was in a pissy mood
and I decided to actually come downstairs out of the
room and I got it into the spicy margaritas and
I just kept going with a spicy margarita.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is what happens. So I don't know,
like if I'm drinking sweeter or what I mean.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: It was nice. I think one bottle, my sister. I
do not have a Costco membership. I do not want
to go. I would like to, but I don't want
to go to the part of town that Costco's in.
I don't want to deal with all that bullshit around it.
Speaker 1: And I have It's not that bad. It's not that bad.
I have a BJS by me, Yes, I have. I
have both.
Speaker 3: We have both BJ's and Costco. Do you like Costco
for certain things? Okay, the booze at Costco.
Speaker 1: They don't have booze in our Costo.
Speaker 3: There's a liquor store fuck attached to it that's not
affiliated with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Where I got everybody's Christmas kift?
Speaker 2: Okay, that's right, we can't sell it here. I keep
forgetting because so they claim. She claims they got all
that really great champagne at a great price. She's like,
oh my god, this is like one hundred and twenty
five dollars bottle of champagne and I got it for
you know, thirty forty dollars or.
Speaker 1: Whatever it was.
Speaker 2: And I go, okay, but then I felt like, yeah,
I cheap skate. So then then we opened up the
ship stuff.
Speaker 1: After what they did with your clean a toilet with it. No,
I think the windows. I think they were you know,
just getting out. That's gonna be good for the mimosas.
It's still satisfy that need. But I gotta tell you.
I drive back yesterday.
Speaker 2: Now I know this can't be good for my long
term health, putting it on that much weight that rapidly.
Speaker 1: It's been.
Speaker 2: It has been a drink fast since Friday, December nineteenth,
right through till yesterday.
Speaker 1: I did have a glass wine. Oh wait, when we
go out, the ladies still come up to you. So
you can't be that disgusting summer.
Speaker 2: So I'm driving back from the Hudson Valley yesterday. The
sun is out, I have my sunglasses on. I'm driving
up the New York State Away and I've and I've
been warned high winds. Syracu's supposed to really get the
ship beat out of it, blah blah blah. And I
get past Albany and the winds start picking up. You
and I talked, and I said to you, I'm going
like sixty five, but I'm like I was looking for
like a really large person to be pulled over on
the side of the road. So they could sort of
be my ballister in the car and keep it rubber
side down.
Speaker 1: But then then he realized you were that, and I
realized this fucking thing ain't going anywhere. You just gained
like ten pounds, you fat fuck.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Me and Jamie lest that we're going
back and forth, but you driving the Thruay and driving
a super room.
Speaker 1: It was hysterical having a fucking blast. You sitting at
the airport board. We're just going back and forth and.
Speaker 2: You Jamie will be at the club this weekend. Yeah,
Grindy and Saturday, right, yes, Griday and Saturday. So at
one point I realized how fat I am.
Speaker 1: My sister got the a bird feeder. That dong that
she got fit you because it was a double X. Yeah.
There is a podcast that I did with my sister,
and I thought it was pretty good. It was a
great podcast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't get into too much stuff, but we
talked a lot about She had great stories.
Speaker 1: There's two very interesting morans and then there's you.
Speaker 2: How about the how about the drink Kate the great
at the beach in del Rey or wherever she was
in California. Yeah, but I I I just is like
one of my.
Speaker 1: How much weight have I put on?
Speaker 2: Because I helped her put up this bird feeder and
it's got a really high end camera in it, and
the way she has it positioned is like right off
the front door, so the camera view is in and
out of the front door. And I'm telling you, the
quality of the picture is amazing. So she sent me
a video of me walking out to the car and
all you see is fucking big round belly, like I
put on the pregnant se suit that they had men wear.
Speaker 1: You look like Ryan round. He was fat and just friends. Yes, no,
not that fat, but it was just here. But it's
just like just my gut and I'm like, holy fuck,
I rewound it. Watch it again. I'm laughing. I go,
this is sad.
Speaker 3: I hope she brings that camera to Kevins this summer.
And when you push Marge off the fucking stairs.
Speaker 2: She kept saying to me, she goes, this is better
than they don't have a ring doorbell. She goes, this
is better than a ring doorbell, and it is like
it's a higher quality.
Speaker 1: Nobody will know. It's realized it's no, it's the bird
feeder one.
Speaker 2: And then she wanted to. I don't know why. I
think you hit a certain age and you get into birds.
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: Oh, there's hockey, there's a whole.
Speaker 2: They had me this summer. My brother and sister had
me download this app from Cornell that you hit record
on the app and it'll tell you what birds are
around you by by just listening. It's an amazing I mean,
like amazing that someone could do that, Like that's brilliant
that they came up with this app.
Speaker 1: But I go.
Speaker 2: Herds, Oh hey, Joe, Okay, sometime in the future, all right,
I figured, yeah, I did too.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that in a little while. So uh yeah.
Speaker 2: So I I just see how absolutely absolutely huge I am.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I helped her put this up.
Speaker 2: She's recovering from rotator cuff surgery, and I was holding.
Speaker 1: The bird feeder.
Speaker 2: I belt loop did I screwed the thing in the
back for her, and we go out.
Speaker 1: She had me fill it with bird seed. We go
out and I pass.
Speaker 2: It around the tree and then she's just gonna loop
it through the buckle that they have and put it
down and she goes okay, and I'm like, man, let
me just give it one more yank. I yanked that
fucking thing. The belt buckle bends, it flies off, and
the whole bird feeder I have to catch.
Speaker 1: Now there's fucking bird seed all over me, all over
the ground, and I go, yeah, just one more yank.
Speaker 2: So now I have to go in. I get plyers.
I gotta bend it back. I gotta like work on
all this shit.
Speaker 3: As far as you just headed off to moustaf for
the great it had it done in four minutes while
baking cookies.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was a total mess, but it's just you look
at yourself and go, oh my god, disgustingly huge, like
disgustingly huge.
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten there yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I've been trying to. I think I have
salmon defrosting for dinner for me tonight.
Speaker 3: So you're saying we're not gonna go to Thursdays after
this and have a couple of beers.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we can, all right, absolutely? Is that what
you want to do there? I gotta stop at Leo's
and that's something I gotta do. You gotta do that
on the way. I'll figure it out. They're up until
later nine.
Speaker 2: Now important detail there was very little snow on the
thru Way coming up, just wind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I told you. I looked at the cameras
and it looked it looked crystal clear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was nothing, and then mostly dry even through
Syracuse the wind picked up, right.
Speaker 1: I did get back up to like seventy five miles
an hour, which my wife gave me shipped for too.
Speaker 3: I pulled up driving the Buffalo and then when we
had that big snowstorm here, Yeah, I had the traffic
cameras and she's like, what are you looking at it? Go,
I'm looking at the drive trying to see what we're
looking at it? Right, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 1: Nothing's wrong with me.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out, well, percuess, the thing is
like the real time pictures of what you're going in exactly.
Speaker 2: And here's the tough part. We live in the Lake
Effect area, so there can be bands and there's two
different lakes that we play off, right, and there can
be bands of snow that you may not be reported evident.
Speaker 3: Today there's nothing at my house north of the ridge.
It's all as soon as I get to four ninety,
it's yeah, white.
Speaker 1: Out, fucking mess.
Speaker 2: So my mom calls me and that's what you had
called me, and I didn't answer. I was on the
phone with her and she's called me, and it was
right at the towards.
Speaker 1: The end, and she kind of figured you around the phone,
that's right, and b they're wasting my time. So she
she says to me, are you still driving? And I said, yeah,
but I left it like three ten. She goes, no,
you left it too.
Speaker 2: I go, no, I left it three something, and she's like, oh,
I go, it's not even seven o'clock yet.
Speaker 1: It's so like a four and a half hour drive.
Speaker 3: I must have left earlier than three ten, because I
called you like three thirty and I was in Albany.
Speaker 1: You were in Albany.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well maybe three ten and was when I finished
getting gas in Kingston, which is on the other side,
and then you're right there on the throy so that maybe,
but either way. So she's like, oh, okay, and I said, actually,
I'm just getting off now.
Speaker 1: No snow. I get off in Victor.
Speaker 2: I drive up and I'm going to go pass the
mall and turn right onto Turk Hill Road and all
the way into Fairport, Kevin, it starts snowing and and
then wind is picking up and it's snowing. And by
the time I get to the light across from Eastview
Mall where you would make the right onto Turk Hill,
I can't see.
Speaker 1: The car in front of me. I can't.
Speaker 3: It's like just pulling in the New York Beer and
Wine Project and start drinking at eating.
Speaker 2: I probably should have done that, I didn't. I keep
going and I turn onto Turk Hill Road.
Speaker 1: It's a dark it's dark, uh, and I'm going this.
Speaker 3: Is out past like so Costa Larga, right, Well, that's
what I have to get to, down the hills, that's
what I have to get to.
Speaker 2: So now I'm going around the turn, and now I'm
past the traffic light where they have like the bookstore
and then you can go over to Umi and these
other places. And now I'm more in a residential area
and there's no street lights, and there's like a car
or too in front of me. I can't really see
them because it's snowing like crazy. I put my flashers
on and I and my mom's on the phone. I
can't see and I can't see the road. It's like
I can't tell where the road is. I can't see
the middle stripe. I can't tell it. Like I see
one car is off in a ditch because they couldn't see.
There's like two inches of snow on the ground in
this place right so now, and it's very windy through there.
Speaker 1: So I pull off to the side.
Speaker 2: There's a road, and I kind of pull off to
the mouth of that road and let these two cars
pass me and figure I'm gonna go behind them and
get in their snow tracks. And then coming the other
direction is a plow and they got a parade of
like seven cars behind them, so all their headlights are
giving me light to see where I can go. I
get up the hill and I'm like fuck, and I
say to my mother, I go when I get to
Castle Larga, the wind is just gonna come whipping because
it's basically an open field, right they have the low
trees for grapes and stuff. And sure enough, I mean,
it's like a fucking tornado. You can't see. It's all
over the place. And I see another car off to
the side of the road. So I keep going and
I think I'm moving at maybe five ten miles an hour.
I go down one hill, I go back up and
I send to my mom. I go, well, I made
it that one.
Speaker 1: I go.
Speaker 2: This next one is a huge hill, and I got
to get to the stop light. So I'm coming down
a hill and all of a sudden, the car starts
to slide and I see a car right like right
off to my right in a ditch, and I'm so
I kind of I yanked the wheelback right defensive driving.
I yank it back, so now it straightens out. And
then I have to hit my brake because five feet
in front of me now is the other car if
that's on the road, And I'm like, holy shit, while
I hit the brake.
Speaker 1: Now I go sideways again.
Speaker 2: The brakes are locking, and I'm like, all right, I
should have tapped the brake, but I but gravity on
the fucking hill alone. I'm gonna drive right and tap,
all right, And I didn't know how close I was,
so now there's nobody coming in the opposite direction. But
I look down the hill and the light just turned
green and they're coming and I'm fucking sideways across the
road and drifting into their things. So I somehow spun it,
you know, into the turn. It's straightened out. I caught
into some I don't know somebody's tracks and tap the
brakes all the way down. I come to the stop
light at the corner of thirty one in Turkhill, and
the fucking snow stops, like like it never happened. And
I mean, my mother said to me, I wish I
was record this, because she started to say something, and
I go, do not say a word right now, nothing,
Just listen.
Speaker 1: So you're almost better staying on four ninety problem before ninety, probably,
But you know why I don't.
Speaker 3: Because the fucking construction is so bad in this town
that it always takes for a fucking ever. And then
at seven o'clock at night, and that's on a Monday.
You're not gonna have that.
Speaker 1: I don't know, especially going into the city. I guess
I guess you're right.
Speaker 3: And you got guardrails that keep you out of the ditch. Yeah, well,
your big fat assesn't puckered the whole ride.
Speaker 1: Oh god.
Speaker 2: I was like, God damn, still windy, but snow is gone.
And I was like, what the fuck am I? And
all I kept saying at times was like.
Speaker 1: Fu fu fu fu fuck. My mother goes, it's take this.
I go. If you did. I would play it on
the podcast did you come home to power at least
being on powers on?
Speaker 2: He was, you know, set low, but fine, Uh, loaded
all my shit in and decided that was it for
the night.
Speaker 1: I wasn't going back out because I was gonna go
graand thought you had thoughts to go to Thursday. No
I didn't. I did not have any thoughts are going
and I couldn't go last week. I had to be
an adult.
Speaker 2: But no, I don't let me tell you the I
would say this anyway because you have kids who drive.
Speaker 1: Both your sons right driving agent and have license.
Speaker 2: My son is going to turn sixteen, and I don't
think that there's anything. I don't think that he could
have handled this. Maybe your kids could have at this point.
I don't know, but I think it takes experience. And
I remember once I with the BMW Club of Rochester,
they did a whole thing in the parking lot at
MCC and they wet down It's called wedding down the paddock,
but they put a lot of water in their and
they had you just fucking fly and then lock it
up or somebody in the car would grab the e
break and you'd have to learn how to control it
in that spin, and I thought that's a great I
don't know if they do that anymore.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I've lost contact with the people
who were I wonder how many cares they lost doing that.
Speaker 2: Well, it's just wide open so and I never saw
anybody's roll and there's not anything really around. It's just
like you just go and the whole point is to
try to keep it from you know, you learn how
to how to do it, and I go. Experience is
the greatest teacher. But doing that also gives you some
knowledge because you're a little bit safer. You have a
pro in the car with you, and you know, if
they die, you die, I guess.
Speaker 1: Or you die that I don't know what the fuck
would happen. But I don't know did they do anything
like that. I haven't heard. You don't probably know, would
be our friend Kerm, he'd probably know something.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I have to see I because I got
to think, like I I got to do something for Jamison.
It's going to turn sixteen in March, and I know
there's gonna be talk of wanting to, you know, take
driving lessons and all. I'm not sure about his schedule
at school. So I was thinking of going through Triple A.
I think they do do a driving school.
Speaker 3: They do, and they will also from what I'm told,
they will go with you. You don't go the day
of the driver's test, you drop and they go with them.
Oh really, And because at a point it's a cash
grab now too, because most people don't pass on that
first time. Yeah, because you have to retake it. Oh
but I've heard that a lot of the people that
come with the Triple A people, Yeah, because they know
a guy who knows the guy. Yeah, Triple A kids
get ready through. Okay, all right, Well maybe that's not
a good thing. I don't know. I really don't know.
Speaker 2: But the wind has been so bad. I saw this
morning on our CBS affiliate. I think there was another
four hundred people in one parlia Monroe County, and three
hundred and another that were still without power fifteen hundred
and Yates County or something like that. And the wind
hasn't stopped really around now.
Speaker 3: They said seventy four was a high numbered buffalo head
at eleven o'clock yesterday. What seventy four miles an hour?
Speaker 1: Was this? Holy shit?
Speaker 3: Did you see the car parked out by Uh, it
was some something on one of the lakes. It was
a BMW. Turned out it was just sitting in the
parking lot just getting hammered by waves. Turns out it
might be a stolen car from.
Speaker 1: Delaware, completely frozen.
Speaker 3: Had somebody had it on Facebook marketplace thirty seven hundred
clean title.
Speaker 1: That's really funny, that's really funny. I didn't that just pounded.
It's a fucking mess out there.
Speaker 2: And the only thing I would say is like, you
don't really know unless you live in our area and
have dealt with lake effect. The only place I've ever
seen similar weather was in the Rockies, because you could
have it like hailing on one part of town and
nothing on the other because the mountains break up a
lot of the weather.
Speaker 3: And it's weird because it'll be a blizzard one day,
you're four ft of snow and seventy five the next uh, huh,
fucked up?
Speaker 1: But whatever.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people were bummed out that
the uh.
Speaker 1: There wasn't a white Christmas? Was there a white Christmas? Here?
Do you even fucking remember? I don't. Did you look outside?
I just remember? No?
Speaker 3: I think it was green because there might have been
a slight dusting. Yeah, but I think everything hit Friday. Okay, uh,
we'll take a moment here. But then our friend, a
friend of the podcast, Joe Bricado's dad passed away and
I reached out to Joe the other day and he
sent me a picture of me, him and his dad
hanging out before one of.
Speaker 1: Joe's shows, and.

there is Come on, now, I'm a man. What you wrong?
But you got the gold and I got some.
Speaker 2: Otis Redding did this? People may know it from the
Black Crows covering it. Uh, this is the Rustics, Rochester's
own The Rustics.
Speaker 1: May again because Mama is so hot to handle. Yes,
I am. They sound good, man, They sounded good. They
were R and B soul group signed to Midtown's Rare
Earth label and they toured nationally. And I was kind
of surprised to learn the Motown connection to this. But
Chuck Bricado, who was the lead singer, I believe he
was the lead singer. I think it's him singing.
Speaker 2: And I'm trying to think, like when you think of Rochester,
there's like a handful, maybe only three, Like I can
go outside my head, but I think.
Speaker 1: There's like four or five that toured nationally like Alo,
Eddy Geiger, Lou Graham, the Rustics with Chuck Bricado. Uh,
I'm trying to think there's another there's another one on
missing there is like Tweet or somebody is there name Tweet.
I don't mean to I think that was it. I
love this version of the song.
Speaker 2: By the way, I had not heard it, But I
mean Joe talked about in the local news how his
house was always filled with music growing up and but
after his father, I think after you know, he decided
it wasn't really catching on and they weren't getting Nationville.
Who else you got Chuck ban Jones, Chuck ban Jones
forgot it yet.
Speaker 3: Lou Lou, Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth. Okay, Travy McCoy
from Jim Class Heroes. Yeah they were Geneva though I
don't really count them, but yeah, Charsa Clay was.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's a lot Mitch Miller, Mitch Miller, carry Lewis
have about Cab Callaway on there, MANI the moocher cab Callaway.
Duke Jupiter, Yeah, Duke Jupiter forgot about that. That's a
lot from an area, don't you think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean from from here.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, And I don't mean to be insulting,
but that's a lot. And you do have the Eastman
School music, but I'm not sure anybody you mentioned he
did anything at the Eastman School, and the ones that did,
I don't think they're recognized as Rochesterians.
Speaker 1: What's the woman's name? The oppers her?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think was she from Oswego originally Renee Fleming.
I thought she was from here, Renee Fleming maybe. But
what I'm saying is like, uh, when I think of
Tony Levin bass player, played played with you know, King Crimson,
and played with Peter Gabriel and did all that stuff.
I and Joe and Joe Briccotto, Joe told the story
how he got Tony Elevin, Yeah, walked into his backgar
where the guy was bowing his lawn.
Speaker 1: They totally forgot about that. I don't know.
Speaker 2: And then he went into commercials. So you probably have
heard a lot of the jingles that Chuck Bricato made
Rochester colonial Bill Gray's Country Suite, and I'm missing a
ton but those Chuck did or did Chuck did?
Speaker 1: Did he get paid in food? Is that like Joe's
a little thick looking like you. Why you do this?
Why do this?
Speaker 2: Joe is so sensitive? He is another one. We just
heard somebody sensitive on the one. He is another one.
He's another one who's super sensitive.
Speaker 1: Paid Bill gris gift. It makes sense. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: And somehow man he blended creativity and music for a living,
and that's how they were doing things. And then I
saw Chuck would jump on stage with Joe. Sometimes they
did some great R and B go ahead.
Speaker 3: I've never seen them two together on stage, but like,
all I can think of my mind is that scene
and Tommy Boy, Yes he dies, Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and everybody talked about how generous and
fair and loving and you know, everything that.
Speaker 2: Chuck Pracatto was. But I feel so bad. And I
remember Joe's mom died about two years ago, maybe maybe
a little longer than that, and I I so, I
sent Joe a text and just said I'm really sorry
to hear about oh. I left him a voicemail. I
tried to call because I thought it'd be better, and
he didn't. And then I didn't invite him to come
on the podcast. He said that a later date, I
will yeah, but it's uh, it's tough. And I think
they're going to have a Chuck Ricado music Scholarship.
Speaker 1: I would assume that he did. In the spring. Joe
will probably have a tribute show to his dad too,
with a bunch of a bunch of people.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, actually that'd be great. I'm pretty sure they're
in the Rochester Music Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: I believe so, yes, so.
Speaker 3: But you know, Joe, he'll he'll get he'll get out,
He'll get all starts of people here and have a
great tribute to his father.
Speaker 1: It's my phone connected. Oh let me see. Oh yeah,
it is my Mars. Yeah, I'm on the phone. I'm
on the I'm recording a podcast. Okay, Jim is desperately
trying to get a hold of your She needs you now. Yeah.
Well I just talked to Jamison. Okay, all right, I'm
not editing that out. I'm not not edding it out. No,
I was gonna say him on Mars, but she sounded
to look concerned. Well, yeah, of course, this is crazy.
It's like freedom, freedom. I there's a lot going on.
You wish we're just bad right now? No, I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying like there's a lot going on. And
I will tell you because I was talking to somebody
I didn't expect to go here today, but I will.
I was talking to somebody who was you know, it's
always around this time of year that people I think
they say most of ours has happened after.
Speaker 1: Like the first of the year.
Speaker 2: So here we are, we're recording this on December thirtieth,
twenty twenty five. You know, you're in that time and
I think some people look at their lives and go,
could I have more?
Speaker 1: Could there be more? Could there be this?
Speaker 2: And all I would say to people is if you
are considering, and I'm I'm standing here as a legally
separated guy, really consider what you're doing first, because there
was something that brought you and the person whether you know,
whoever's looking at this to maybe end it, to dissolve it.
They there was something that brought you together. So consider that.
And I'm going to say these things because I I
was you didn't.
Speaker 1: Have prior to being married to me for twenty two years.
So here's the thing that I think is so interesting.
Speaker 2: I but when you when you look at stuff, you
don't realize the impact it has. On the whole family,
the family as a whole, and like especially on the
younger kid, right, because they're the ones who are kind
of swept up in the wake as the other My
older guys were like graduating high school and heading to college,
and so the impact of then having to be with
mom or dad wasn't as much. They were much more
independent at the time. But not for Jamison, and he
was eight when you know, maybe nine when Jordan headed
out to college, and it was a lot.
Speaker 3: Different for him too, because a lot of times dad
just moves across town, right, And so Dad lived seven
states away.
Speaker 2: Now, well, yes, and I agreed for that to happen, right,
But what I've noticed is like people made fun of
Gwyneth Paltrow when she talked about conscious uncoupling.
Speaker 1: It became like the.
Speaker 2: Biggest joke and all that, And what I always thought, Wow,
I don't think it's bullshit. I think what she's talking
about is putting the children at the forefront, because who
gets the brunt of this. They have no say in it.
They have no real say in what happens or where
they live. And as I look at my situation, probably
I'm gonna say, Okay, to have done, but but maybe
could have been done better, could have been done better,
Like maybe I shouldn't assigned the papers to go to Alabama.
Maybe or there were ways, but like there's no family
home to come home to for the holidays. Like if
you're in college or you're working and together, there just
isn't that you come back to my shitty, two veterroom apartment.
It's nice, but it's like you understand what I'm saying,
and like, uh, you know, And she's seven states away,
so there's a lot of split time and a lot
of split stuff, and I think there's a lot of
animosity and anger and miss miscommunication and misunderstanding of things.
Speaker 1: And I just go and I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was weighing on me, and I just said, to somebody, really,
really think about this before you pull the trigger on it.
And if you do, if you're still feeling that, go
talk to a therapist or someone who can sort of
guide you and listen to you and sort of. I mean,
a therapists job is just.
Speaker 1: To guide you.
Speaker 2: And if you have a family member that you trust
will keep their mouth shut, and everybody probably does, and
maybe it's your own parent, and just talk because it
does affect them as well. Right, they don't get to
see the grandkids as much. They're not coming to see
them on Christmas morning. It may not be your weeknd,
whatever that is. And all I'm saying is like, it's
a heavy situation that a lot of times I think
we just go into blindly and there's many tentacles to it,
you know, And I did go into it blindly, but
there's many tentacles to it, and it reaches out and
I would just say, think, think, think it all the
way through. If you still come to that conclusion, try
to do something where you got the kids more at
the forefront.
Speaker 1: That's all I would say. I don't know that I
did that, and I'm trying to do things now, but.
Speaker 2: It's all that extra weight. It's just weighing way down,
way to be down. I can't I can't even, uh,
I know. I gotta make these phone calls real quick.
Get a text from Kevin and I was sort of
snarky back that the Patriots won clintched the AFC East,
and I think it wrote back, Yay, he did such
a great job for the stands, but you did go
to a game.
Speaker 1: That was my point. It's like, I don't know many people.
The day left was the day apparently Stephan Diggs got arrested.
He got arrested. He's facing potentially fellony charges for strangulation
of somebody who did he strangle that didn't say it
just came out today. Oh I didn't see that at all.
It's been all over the news all oh shit. And
his brother just got released in Dallas too, So this
could be.
Speaker 2: As they head into the playoffs, it could be very impactful.
Speaker 1: Well I'm not I don't know. It could be he's
not playing. Yeah, I'm just saying impactful.
Speaker 2: I thought he I thought he was sort of Well
you watched I assume you saw the game this past week.
Speaker 1: I saw something I didn't see. It was like forty
two to seven.
Speaker 3: I got it in the second half, but was was
Stefan Diggs. He's having a great year and he's almost
he's thirty yards side of one thousand yards this year.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so this could be impactful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, especially with there are two other receivers that
are but they.
Speaker 1: Just had Hounds is out. So I just saw.
Speaker 2: Something today on social media of him standing on the
field and Cardi b with him and it said something
about leave Cardi alone, they're good together or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know. She had a blonde wing on.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have recognized her as Cardi b but that
was from the All you saw was her back and
him sort of standing facing her and they were talking
and he like touched her face and all this stuff.
I'm hoping it's not her.
Speaker 1: I don't believe it was her.
Speaker 3: I believe And they're also categorically his attorneys saying that
he categorically denies the allegation.
Speaker 1: So well, of course I did it. Well.
Speaker 2: The thing is like yeah, But the other thing is like,
do you think some of these guys walking around, depending
on who they're hanging out with, walking around with the
target on their back?
Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely, don't you think like dollar dollar signs? And
didn't he have on know that was something that.
Speaker 3: They You haven't heard that when they before R Anthony
signed it is a big thing thing has come.
Speaker 1: Of that either. No. Oh wow.
Speaker 2: Now I am hearing a lot of different things about
Josh Allen. Some of the guys in ESPN are saying
like they think it's uh, he still has my God?
Speaker 1: Can I not work? Can I not fucking work. Let
me take a moment and I gotta handle some stuff,
all right, Uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we might be getting when get close
to the krag and down in the back wall.

is ray, my husband, my niece got a my mother
got her. Uh, I call it a record player, and
she loves this song. But I can't find the single anywhere,
and the album doesn't have a release date yet for
twenty twenty six. But it's a pretty good song, and
uh it's sold out everywhere online another store.
Speaker 1: So but I I wound up getting her some I
don't remember what album I got her.
Speaker 2: My mother got her the pre Gifted.
Speaker 1: I got a No and she likes leave, which I
was calling a loffe. But I found out that isn't
that the part of the Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 2: Uh, all right, I I I there's a couple of things,
just some random thoughts.
Speaker 1: Did you drink? Huh? Didn't drink? Yeah, of course I
fucking need to drink. If you just witnessed everything, what
do you think I was songing it back? Yeah, you know,
but I mean it's like, oh god, all right.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I wanted to say this because we're going into
the new year, and I know that it depends on
where who you talk to, who you listen to the
political divide in this country. So I heard somebody the
other day and there's a lot of hyperbole on both sides.
But when somebody says eighty percent of professors on college
campuses are liberal, I go, Okay, maybe that's true. I
don't know where you're getting your data from. And all
I'm saying is can we And then they start going
on about there's no critical thinking, and I'm like, well,
we need to say according to a you know, research poll,
eighty percent of Okay, that sounds a little more palatable
to me. But then they go into and then they're
teaching their dogma. So if you go to take an
art class as an elective and they get in there
and they're going to be teaching you the liberal things
and they won't talk to you certain ways and they.
Speaker 1: Won't just got I'm like, but what is liberal art? Well,
it just means. All it means is like, it doesn't mean.
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean political, like retro bush is a liberal thing. No,
no painting the girl naked, She's.
Speaker 1: Gotta have a full bush.
Speaker 2: I think liberalber liberal art was just the study of
the humanities and things like that. But the art, this
is an actual art class. The person uses an example,
what is liberal Yeah, painting, I don't know. So they
were saying, but they're gonna give you this aten And
I'm like, Okay, I hear that a lot. And you
know who I hear from people who have Most of
the people I hear it from are people who have
not been on a college campus in over thirty years,
or have never been on a college campus their entire lives.
And I'm not saying that maybe this stuff goes on.
Certainly there's going to be on both sides. But I
will tell you I think there's some conservative stuff. I
think it's fine. I think it should be a balance,
it should be a place for discussion. But we can't
have discussion when everybody's coming out with these with these
easier to blame somebody else. Well, it's not just that,
it's these these absolutes, these absolutes.
Speaker 1: They are pushing this agenda. Oh, how do we know?
You're not there? You're a sixty year old man, You're
not you know, understand I'm saying, And I'm hearing say this,
and I go, I wish as we move forward, it
would be more like, can we you know, I'm hearing
that these things happen.
Speaker 2: Are they widespread? I don't know, but I'm hearing that
and then maybe other people chime in and go, yeah,
I heard it from my kid at this place in
that place.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's true. I have no idea.
Speaker 2: But you can't do that because then when the other
side does it, you get all pissed off about Well,
they're just throwing these I'm making shit up. We're all
making shit up, and I would like to see that
go away. Twenty twenty six's that was something I was
not going on anytime in my head. I heard it,
and I'm like, how do they know? Like, give me
some give me something where you know, And that to
me is more of the critical thinking that they're talking
about instead of this other stuff. And yes, there's a
lot of bullshit and hyperboly said and different things, but
everybody's to sell you on there.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows, but nobody knows nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's true. And then I hear about the
Josh Allen is he overrated? Josh is just a guy
with a big arm, no accuracy, and no accuracy.
Speaker 3: I thought he's been pretty accurate this year. He's throwing
some freaking balls that I'm like, damn.
Speaker 2: I thought the same thing. I know that the two
point conversion, it was you know he's running across to
the left and just went a little too far into
that corner. I don't know. All I can say is
I feel like that guy is the team. And that defense,
by the way, holy shit, I mean, Sean McDermott is
really really good at adjusting because they figured out what
Philly was doing. I think Philly had seventeen yards of
offense in the second half and one hundred and seventy something.
Speaker 1: In the first half.
Speaker 2: Right, so it's night and day and that defense was
playing lights out in the second half.
Speaker 1: That defense was the pile of shit six weeks ago. Yeah,
and they were a pile of shit. So in the
beginning of that game though too. I mean, you know,
we can't say that. So I have no idea.
Speaker 2: Danny sent me a Instagram post and I was gonna
wait till he's in here to actually play the audio
of it. But if someone says the NFL is scripted,
and they they got a peek at the script and
that it's the Bills and the Rams in the Super Bowl,
now I don't I have If that happens, now, everybody's
gonna be jumping on it's scripted. If it doesn't happen,
then it's gonna be the conspiracy that they check got out.
They changed the script and they got out. So I again,
I don't know. I'm watching these athletes, I mean literally
bust their asses that Atlanta game last night and the Rams,
the Rams are way down at halftime, they come all
the way roaring back. I can't imagine that it's scripted.
How can you be?
Speaker 3: I just well, the Falcons are never good at holding leads.
They were down what they were up twenty eighth to
three in the Super Bowl and couldn't hold that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they were up almost a similar number last
night and then they did hell hold on. They did
hold on and won by three points, but by three points,
like it literally could have been tied at the end
of the game and it didn't work out.
Speaker 1: But either way, I go. I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't buy into these conspiracies where there's so many kids. Now,
I will say, there's a lot of people bitching that
the Raiders may be tanking because they're not starting a
lot of their starters. And I don't think at the
professional level. I think if guys go out there, they
want to play, they want to make their money. That's
how they do it. They they've conditioned their body, they
want to play. But I'm hearing guys like Max Crossman
will have been benched and that they feel like the
team is tanking.
Speaker 3: I don't know if Chris has had as issues all season.
He's had arguments with the coaching, he's had arguments with
the ownership, He's had arguments.
Speaker 1: With a lot of people.
Speaker 3: I thought I read something that he had something personal
going on too, which is why he.
Speaker 1: Wasn't playing the last two weeks. Okay, that could very
well be.
Speaker 2: But do you see like where we where, Like all
this stuff comes out and we could say it for sports,
you can say it for pole it takes We don't
know the real reasons. Unfortunately, the Raiders aren't tanking. They're
just like the Jets. They just fucking suck. How did
that happen? Though they used to not suck?
Speaker 1: Wow, I was listening to somebody said that was it.
Speaker 3: Maybe it was Maybe it was one of the podcasts
used that had I was listening to a bunch of
them today that you could take half the guys from
the Jets, the good players, and the Jets and the
good players and the Raiders and you're still looking at
a five or six win team.
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, they don't have a quarterback.
Speaker 1: None of those teams was great. The last three years
in Seattle he was not so much. Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened the altitude. I really don't know,
but I don't think he's been great with the Raiders. No,
I watched. I did watch the game earlier this season
at Thirsties, and he played.
Speaker 3: He played the only game I can think that he
played decent and was the one against the Patriots.
Speaker 1: And the Patriots just handed them that game. They played.
They played like ship. It was Opening Day. They played
lea ship. Patriots could be Patriots could be a one.
Speaker 3: Loss team right now if they had beaten the Raiders
and they hadn't laid the egg and just given the
game to the Steelers.
Speaker 1: The weird thing is.
Speaker 2: Like we get people get all upset at the beginning
of the season, but it's over.
Speaker 1: And here we are. They won the a FC East handily,
Like it's over.
Speaker 3: I was looking at something today. The Bills have won
the AFC East eleven times. The Patriots had an eleven
year run as the East chance straight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Bills have had a five year run right
now and that and that's but it also it also
sets up very well for the Bills in the playoffs
because you don't have to go through you know, you
don't have to go through Kansas City, you don't have
to go through Baltimore. No, it's been your ryptonite, right
and Denver potentially could be something if.
Speaker 1: You have to play.
Speaker 3: I think the only scene that scares me the playoffs
right now in the AFC is the Jaguars. They are
just clicking on all cylinders. Steelers are a pile of shit,
and it's there gonna be Steelers of the Ravens, and
both teams are piles of shit and won't we'll get
the home game for winning the division, but probably won't
win their wildcard game.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like that. I like that. I haven't paid,
but I.
Speaker 3: Think it's setting up if the if the Broncos win,
they win. If the Broncos win, they are the one seed.
If they lose and the Patriots win, they're the one seed.
And it sets up I think right now the Chargers,
they're playing the Chargers, and the Chargers are not starting Herbert,
They're not. No, he's resting. Oh okay, and souse. I
think the AFCs set everybody's in except for the Ravens
or Steelers. Who wins that division is going to get
the last spot, and it looks like sets up right now.
If everything goes chuck, it's Bill's Patriots first round, which
I don't want to see either.
Speaker 1: I would much rather see them play somebody else, the
Jaguars round. I'd much rather play the Chargers in the
first round as a Patriots fan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, West Coast team coming east in the cold.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, I hear you. And the same thing for
othern team coming up in the call. Yeah right, I
mean that would be the other.
Speaker 3: But I would much rather to see the Bills by
the Jacksonville. Anybody talked to Connors, I have not heard.
I met the texting the other day and I just
have not.
Speaker 1: Call him. We touch base before before the uh before
this holiday.
Speaker 3: I think he's mad because the Patriots won the division.
I haven't gotten invited to the nand Cave in a while.
Let me, I thought I'd get invited at least for
the Pats game. I didn't because I always go over.
I'm at least respectful. I don't want it.
Speaker 1: Here. We go see for answers. I know we're calling
him blind and that may not be fair. I think
it's voicemail going up on New Year's Eve answers. You've
reached zero.
Speaker 3: If you answered them the AFC's champions, it'll be so upset.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: There was a gift to dropped off for you here
sitting right there. Yes, I was asked to have you
open it on the podcast if you don't mind.
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like something that it's not ticking, does it?
Does it have a name? It's from Dan?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, from Dan. Yes, there's no way Dan wrapped
it that well. But yeah, it's wrapped. Well, it's possible
it is.
Speaker 1: He might have some of that sism skill getting it done.
I guess. Let's see. He didn't want you to open
this on the podcast. Oh, Jesus Christ, what does it say?
Jesus Christ, what does it say? I'm gay for May?
Speaker 2: He writes me one day and goes, I just saw
this shirt that'll be perfect for Kevin. And he tells
me what it is, and I go, I dare you
to buy it?
Speaker 1: No, I go, I dare you? And so he did.
I'll wear it too.
Speaker 3: I don't ship the only what I want to get
I almost bought it today, but they only had the
Christmas sweater version of it was the step Brothers with
Brady and Brady and may.
Speaker 1: Oh really the step Brothers cover. That's fun that's funny. Oh,
I haven't seen that. That's pretty funny. Uh, I don't know.
I think we got to wrap it up here.
Speaker 2: You just twitching to get to the bar. No, I'm
not twitching to get to the bar. But no, I'm
really not because I have I have a lot, I
have a lot of things I want to do. But
I also was like, it's just it's it's.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what of this. I
can't explain it.
Speaker 2: It's life, right, and it's never going to stop coming
at you, and you got to stop being a knee
jerk reactor.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to myself, but again, talking at it. I mean,
it's what they always say. I don't agree with what
Jay did, but I understand it. That was Chris Rock, right,
I understand right, But it's not even just that.
Speaker 2: I'm just talking about like even with you know, your
kids or whatever, and the and the way things are done,
and you know, you got to try to look at
the whole picture and not an isolated pixel so to speak.
We got to you gotta look at the whole picture.
And there's a lot going on. And I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes I just seed the ship beating out
of them.
Speaker 3: Well, I did hear somebody say, heavy gloves, get in
the ring and get after it. I heard a stat
and again I don't know where it came from, but
it was talked about, and it said that parents today
spend more time with their kids than the parents of
the seventies. And in the seventies, many women did not
work and were home stay at home moms and the homemakers,
and and I even remember my mother in the early
seventies pushing against the bank who would not put her
name on the mortgage for the house they were buying,
because they said, you're gonna take a maternity leave, and
that means you're down from two incomes to one, so
how are you gonna pay this?
Speaker 2: And she fought and pushed back, push back, and they
put her name on it. But this was like nineteen
seventy three, and so it didn't happen. And so this
person said, but there's so there was more time that
we're spending with our kids now than in the nineteen
seventies when there was a parent home.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because kids don't go outside anymore. That could be
I don't when you were a kid. I was a kid,
I was outside. I would be up at eight o'clock
in the morning. I'd be gone till lunch. Yeah, I'd
scarf lunch down ten to fifteen minutes to be back
at it till five o'clock. And my father used to
come home et dinner ten minutes. Everybody's back out till
the street lights came on.
Speaker 2: My father used to scream at this sometimes though all
I want is some day without the kids.
Speaker 1: The end of the day without the kids, good bade.
Speaker 2: He's screaming. Thus, and what this person was pointing out
too is saying that and our kids are more screwed
up today, even though there's more time with the parents.
I would counter that argument and say, why is that.
I don't know that it's the parents fault as much
it is the constant, never ending face in this. I
think that's a huge proponent to it. I think if
you went back to the seventies decade and you have this,
I think you would see a lot of the same
issues because it's a NonStop tutorial on how to be
an asshole.
Speaker 1: Really, you can see it in every way.
Speaker 3: And that's what made me cringe about getting Brady a phone. Yeah,
I didn't want to get him on. The lucky thing
with him is he my other two.
Speaker 1: You had to entertain him, right, Brady. You don't have
to entertain Brady.
Speaker 3: He'll figure it out. He'll he'll play by himself. He'll
do whatever he does. He'll go out, he'll go outside
and play by himself. He'll play football by himself, he'll
shoot hockey pox. He doesn't need to be entertained. He
likes being entertained every once in a while, but he'd
rather just go be by himself and fuck around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe and that's a great thing. Well, I
think I don't know that a lot of kids will
like that. And then the other thing was like, and
this may be very true. I even find myself guilty
of it, is that they're like, you know, dads are
buddies with their kid now, you know, And they're like,
you can have the fun on a Saturday afternoon with
the kid, you can laugh at their jokes, but when
it's time to step up and be the father and
go this bullshit doesn't fly. You got to be the father,
and they're saying that there's less of that now. Again,
I don't know where this information's coming from, like statistically,
or why this person's saying that exactly, but it sure
seems to make sense. That's all I can say. This
sure seemed to make sense. Not some other things I questioned,
but that what I went well kind of makes sense.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 2: And I'm sort of in that boat of trying to
figure that out and hold the hard line on some things,
and the pushback is immense. But I do think that
kids want to know you give a shit, and sometimes
giving a shit means, you know, drawn a strong boundary.
Speaker 1: That's all I can say. All right, we'll get out here.
I feel bad. Kevin came all the way out in
the snow.
Speaker 2: Were interrupt It's it's December. What do you expect I'm
gay from me? I know he was so excited to
give you that, Like he was like, you think he's
gonna like it?
Speaker 1: What if you hate it? I go, He's like that,
it's not a book for Kevin. Me are on, Bill Moran.
We'll see you in the New Year, a un state see.
They were looking for a kind of like with Tennessee.
