Speaker 1: Hey, it's Bill. Before we get into this episode, which
Speaker 1: recaps an epic weekend thanks to Mike and Kelsey Mack
Speaker 1: of Mac of All Trades, something happened that could only
Speaker 1: happen to me. But you're also going to hear from
Speaker 1: some really inspiring people. Again. Before all of that, I
Speaker 1: want to talk about what happened in Maplewood Park. One dead,
Speaker 1: one in critical condition, six injured. It was a shooting
Speaker 1: at Maplewood Park Sunday evening and our friend Jeffrey Rogers
Speaker 1: was there. Jeffrey, what kind of gathering was happening at
Speaker 1: Maplewood Park that had so many people in this area?
Speaker 2: There was some top of barbecue that was happening. People
Speaker 2: were out there enjoying theirselves, listening to music. And when
Speaker 2: I was there or it was no issues going on.
Speaker 2: There was like one little fight, but then that got
Speaker 2: settled down and broken up. An hour after that, this
Speaker 2: stots ring out.
Speaker 1: Before we get too far, who was sponsoring this? Was
Speaker 1: this a sponsored event? It sounded like it was.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm not even sure that there's a
Speaker 2: flyer out there and oustend that fire to you, but
Speaker 2: it's just an event that people they were doing to
Speaker 2: bring positivity to the community. That's what it this way
Speaker 2: event was the barbecue to bring positivity into the community.
Speaker 1: Uh and you were there? Were you there just to
Speaker 1: cover it or just to be part of it?
Speaker 2: Both?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Both? And so then go ahead. Then what happened?
Speaker 2: Multiple shots were fired, multiple people were struck. One person
Speaker 2: is dead confirmed, six people were shot.
Speaker 1: Well, so give me the play by play. You were
Speaker 1: there and where are you when the shots ring out?
Speaker 1: And what time of day is this?
Speaker 2: I was walking up towards the shots, like before they
Speaker 2: were fired. I was walking up towards them.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And then shots were flying everywhere and they kept actually
Speaker 2: getting closer to the point where the vehicle I was
Speaker 2: next to had bulleholes in it almost shot me in
Speaker 2: the head.
Speaker 1: So, wow, did you see who was behind the weapon?
Speaker 2: There was most so many people with guns. Everybody was
Speaker 2: coming out with gun.
Speaker 1: Everybody was coming out with a gun, and I got
Speaker 1: to think complete chaos erupted as people are trying to
Speaker 1: scramble to get out of there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody was trying to get out of there. I
Speaker 2: mean insane.
Speaker 1: So Jeffrey, what do you do? I mean, obviously you're
Speaker 1: hiding on what you assume is a safer side of
Speaker 1: the car. I don't know if there's exactly a safe sign,
Speaker 1: but the safer side of the car. When do you
Speaker 1: feel comfortable that the shots are done being fired? Do
Speaker 1: you hear some I.
Speaker 2: Thought they were done, and then when I started walking up,
Speaker 2: I thought they were done, and they could see you.
Speaker 1: They started again, started again in your direction. And did
Speaker 1: you see and assist people who were injured or Yeah?
Speaker 2: So I started trying to help out with people a
Speaker 2: little bit, you know, and then my reporter comes and
Speaker 2: kicked in. I started, you know, just taking a little
Speaker 2: bit clips here and there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean that sounds like a really traumatic experience
Speaker 1: you had today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing I've never experienced before. I don't think I've
Speaker 2: ever experienced anything like this before in my life.
Speaker 1: And what is the word as to who maybe behind this?
Speaker 1: Is this some kind of rival gang type?
Speaker 2: I don't think this is gang relater at all.
Speaker 1: Was this just somebody who had a beef with someone else?
Speaker 2: It might have been, but that was a lot of
Speaker 2: people have gone a.
Speaker 1: Lot of people with guns on both sides. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: do you think that someone knew this was gonna potentially
Speaker 1: could have happened.
Speaker 2: I was talking about it, you know, this plane of
Speaker 2: me and you know, my friends were joking about, you know,
Speaker 2: like what we're going to do when start firing. We
Speaker 2: were just like talking about what we're going to do
Speaker 2: and stuff like that and where we're going to go.
Speaker 1: So you were talking that about that in a in
Speaker 1: a jokey way prior to all the action that that hit.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's uh, that's a little unsettling. Could you kind
Speaker 1: of tell like something was going to go on? Was
Speaker 1: there sort of a sometimes you know, there's like a
Speaker 1: little change in the atmosphere, you know, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean while you're like, oh man, I got to
Speaker 1: get out of here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I've made my decision to stay once
Speaker 2: I've seen everybody get throwing the inbluance of crime scene
Speaker 2: tape went up, and then obviously I left the seed
Speaker 2: because it was just so much going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyone you know involved in this?
Speaker 2: No, I don't know yet. I can't even confine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there are so many people who are shot and some
Speaker 2: people with guns. I don't know yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you do the rest of the day?
Speaker 1: You must, I mean your head must be spinning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just talking to family here. We're all talking about it,
Speaker 2: you know, phones going crazy. Some people are telling me
Speaker 2: to take my video down. Some people are you know,
Speaker 2: agreeing with it. I'm not taking my video down though
Speaker 2: it's blurred. You know, Bigger platforms you know, post more
Speaker 2: graphic videos than me, So absolutely not. I'm not deleting.
Speaker 2: This is journalism.
Speaker 1: This is what.
Speaker 2: Reporting is, and people need to see how violent the
Speaker 2: community because when people can't get along.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. Where can people go to
Speaker 1: see that? Again?
Speaker 2: You can see these videos on all of gs on
Speaker 2: news platforms. You can see the full clips on Twitter
Speaker 2: or at at dot com at Jeffrey Rogers.

Speaker 1: I hope that. I hope you can sleep because that
Speaker 1: sounds really really rough to me and I can't imagine
Speaker 1: everything that's going on, but I agree with you. When
Speaker 1: people can't get along, this is what happens. Again, what
Speaker 1: time of day was this, Jeffrey?
Speaker 2: It seems like, so let me give you a time
Speaker 2: when this actually came in. Here, let me see, so
Speaker 2: this actually came in six about six.

Speaker 1: Moran Podcast. Well, hello and welcome from Patriot Place. Thanks
Speaker 1: for telling a friend, and that's how we spread the
Speaker 1: word about the pirate ship. We are at a giant party.
Speaker 1: Come on in, Billy, come on right in. There's a
Speaker 1: mic over there, Mike three, Billy sitting there. Because this
Speaker 1: is a great story to start with. We're here at it.
Speaker 1: So Mac of All Trades, who we sublet from and
Speaker 1: is a great sponsor of the podcast, has this incredible
Speaker 1: party every year. Last year he invited me it was
Speaker 1: their second annual. I did not go, So this year
Speaker 1: was my first. And the day one is a UTV ride.
Speaker 1: So we are riding. How many miles do you think
Speaker 1: we went yesterday? Yeah, probably eighty miles. Any right, So,
Speaker 1: but their frequent stop get right into that. You may
Speaker 1: even have to pick that up. So there's frequent stop
Speaker 1: and Mac has invited a bunch of people and the guests.
Speaker 1: So I took my son, Jordan, who I was. You
Speaker 1: can already tell how that went. What do you mean
Speaker 1: how that went? I was excited to have you because
Speaker 1: you're gonna be going to this Saint Louis University. You're
Speaker 1: leaving in a couple.
Speaker 5: Of weeks, three weeks.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be all right. So I thought this would
Speaker 1: be a nice last father son run. We'd have a
Speaker 1: big party, the whole deal. So I had rented the
Speaker 1: UTV a while ago. Actually, Billy came into my studio
Speaker 1: and said, have you rented it yet? And I said, no,
Speaker 1: you go. You better jump on it because there were
Speaker 1: no two seaters left, so I got a four seater
Speaker 1: razor which were great and uh, it was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. They split us up into three groups and
Speaker 1: then you were out riding and I was just an
Speaker 1: absolute blast. Now, we did bring our own helmets, but
Speaker 1: because I wasn't sure if they if it came with helmet,
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I was all confused about this.
Speaker 1: That's what I figured they did. But so I went
Speaker 1: and I and I got a little uh, little training
Speaker 1: on the u TV prior to that by taking rides
Speaker 1: with somebody who owns them. And uh, when we rented them,
Speaker 1: were you in there when we rented Yeah, and we
Speaker 1: got there last. Did you hear what they said when
Speaker 1: when he and I walked out? Oh yeah, what did
Speaker 1: they say?
Speaker 4: They're the ones that Yeah, so embarrassing? What the fuck?
Speaker 1: Right? The first two legs we were I wrote, I
Speaker 1: drove and I was trying to like I was, I
Speaker 1: was paying attention, I was, I was playing because Tony
Speaker 1: kept saying to me, Tony's on this tripping, kept saying
Speaker 1: to me, he goes, man, you're hot dogging. You're gonna
Speaker 1: be You're spraying rocks at people. You gotta be careful,
Speaker 1: don't be. So I was like, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: But anytime you came around the turn, I would just
Speaker 1: take my foot off the gas and then punch it
Speaker 1: as we went into the turn. So just drifted a little,
Speaker 1: give you a little that's it, Just give you a
Speaker 1: little ride. These had a governor on them. They went
Speaker 1: fifty five was the max on the four wheel. I
Speaker 1: don't know about the two wheels, and.
Speaker 4: The two wheel was fifty seven.
Speaker 1: Wasn't much. Yeah. So when we went downhill, we were
Speaker 1: like fifty some of the two seaters at like sixty
Speaker 1: sixty five. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, because I think Tony's
Speaker 1: was sixty sixty five.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this went faster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and his was a general it wasn't the Ray Razor.
Speaker 1: So as we're driving, then I let Jordan take over.
Speaker 1: He did fine, did you did a great job? Great job.
Speaker 1: Then on the second part of the and I even
Speaker 1: started to nod off a little because I was hot, tired,
Speaker 1: not feeling great, you know, different bars I was.
Speaker 5: I was just trying to be entertaining, trying to wake
Speaker 5: my dad up. I really woke them up after a while.
Speaker 1: Well, no, so then we stop at another one and
Speaker 1: you say to me, I don't think he's gonna let
Speaker 1: me drive again, And I said no, Yeah, you get
Speaker 1: to do two legs, and then I figured there was
Speaker 1: only going to be five, so I would do the
Speaker 1: last one and we get head home.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so where were you?
Speaker 4: So I was in front of you.
Speaker 1: Probably last three legs, okay.
Speaker 4: And I kept looking in the rear room mirror because
Speaker 4: we came around that turn. Yea fatal turn, yeah, fatal,
Speaker 4: The infamous turn and we're making a We're gonna make
Speaker 4: another turn quick, so I slowed down to make sure
Speaker 4: you saw.
Speaker 1: Where the turns were. Yeah, we're going. Well, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of dust too, and you can lose people. That
Speaker 1: was really the hard part for me. It was it
Speaker 1: was because even if you're wearing sunglasses you can ride
Speaker 1: these things. It's probably not a great idea. You should
Speaker 1: probably have something that's a wrap around because it comes
Speaker 1: into the side. Just get a bunch of dust dust
Speaker 1: boggers for right. So we're driving and I said to him,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's doing these fishtails, and I
Speaker 1: go I said, because this is how I speak, you're
Speaker 1: not that good. But I don't know if he could
Speaker 1: hear me, because I honestly could not. I don't think so,
Speaker 1: because I had a helmet on so cover my mouth
Speaker 1: I had. What happened was when.
Speaker 5: I kept when I came on that second one, I
Speaker 5: noticed that I was like starting to swerve out a
Speaker 5: little too far. I tried to bring myself back to center.
Speaker 5: As soon as I'm back to center is when we
Speaker 5: hit that next turn, and I can't even move quick
Speaker 5: enough to turn properly. And that's when we flipped.
Speaker 1: All I know is like I I remember going to
Speaker 1: him slow, I go, You're not that good. And then
Speaker 1: I'm like, say slow down, down, just take your foot
Speaker 1: off the gas. Don't hit the brake, just take your
Speaker 1: foot off.
Speaker 5: And I kept my foot on the gas as we
Speaker 5: were hitting the turn because I couldn't move.
Speaker 1: It just kept going.
Speaker 5: And when I saw his front side, what happened was
Speaker 5: your front end went first, yes, And I saw it
Speaker 5: start to.
Speaker 1: Go that way.
Speaker 5: I'm like, I can't if I hit the brakes right now,
Speaker 5: we're gonna fall and we're gonna be stuck on one side.
Speaker 5: So I didn't do anything. I kept my foot on
Speaker 5: the gas. I turned into where we were falling to
Speaker 5: keep that four momentum so we could flip back over.
Speaker 1: And the next thing all I know is I was
Speaker 1: like it was ass over to kind of like slam
Speaker 1: my head, my shoulder, but your helmet flew off. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Luckily I didn't hit anything, Like I I hit nothing.
Speaker 5: I felt a little shake. I saw you hit the ground.
Speaker 5: We tumbled over. We were back up and I look
Speaker 5: over my left and like, oh shit.
Speaker 1: I was trying to keep my arm in and I
Speaker 1: know my elbow if you roll, yes, come right into
Speaker 1: the center.
Speaker 6: Ye.
Speaker 1: Well I came in, but my elbow hit on the outside.
Speaker 4: But so I was at that turn, looking in the
Speaker 4: rear view, waiting for you to come around a turn
Speaker 4: to see us before we went, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: I thought you went front over, okay, straight over, and
Speaker 4: I go, holy shit, I go. They just she's like what,
Speaker 4: I'm trying to turn the thing around to get back
Speaker 4: because I saw I saw you flip roll. I saw
Speaker 4: a helmet go rolling across the path, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: I'm like, they flipped. They flipped. They flipped the best.
Speaker 4: So we got back and then everyone converged. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: it looked I thought it was the me much worse
Speaker 4: than it.
Speaker 1: Well, it looked a lot worse. So what they tell
Speaker 1: you is like they give you all these instructions when
Speaker 1: you pick up the UTV, right, and I think they
Speaker 1: are utility terrain vehicles or some people fans for transport.
Speaker 1: Some people call them side by sides if you're a
Speaker 1: two seater. So they had all these instructions on things too,
Speaker 1: and then they go listen if it gets too muddy
Speaker 1: and you got lots of clumps, of mud one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: You're insured up to fifteen hundred dollars for anything, So
Speaker 1: I'm thinking we're gonna be fine. I go nobody's you
Speaker 1: can't fuck around on the ease. They're not going that fast.
Speaker 1: So sure, sure, shit, we're over right now. We get up.
Speaker 1: There is so much. You took ninety pounds of sand
Speaker 1: into that bucket vehicle.
Speaker 4: I don't know how.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's the picture. She's got a picture. Picture. Instructions,
Speaker 1: all instructions. Stay on designating trail only, no donuts or
Speaker 1: aggressive driving, keep out of water above center of rim,
Speaker 1: keep out of timber View Mud Park, and all mud holes.
Speaker 1: New clutch seven hundred and sixty dollars, new belt on
Speaker 1: hundred ninety nine labor, blah blah. So but we bought
Speaker 1: the extra for fifteen hundred dollars. We did, so we rolled,
Speaker 1: used all of it. We rolled that fucker and the
Speaker 1: roof cracked, the.
Speaker 5: Side door dented in pieces.
Speaker 1: Back ye back all the plan.
Speaker 4: Hopefully didn't notice.
Speaker 1: They noticed noticed.
Speaker 5: You couldn't even open the gas cap. That's how bad
Speaker 5: it was.
Speaker 4: I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: I didn't know until they tried. They were like, oh, dude,
Speaker 1: we can get the gas cap off. I was so
Speaker 1: bothered by all this that I didn't even bothered. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was really bothered. I was embarrassed because I didn't
Speaker 1: want to do it in front of these guys. And
Speaker 1: then I kept thinking about, you know, all the other
Speaker 1: ship and what phone calls still I am going to get. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they haven't had it yet, but I will get them yet. No,
Speaker 1: not yet, but I will get that that call. I
Speaker 1: don't mind. It's the other ones from his mom and
Speaker 1: stuff that I worry about. I haven't even gotten those
Speaker 1: calls yet. Well, nobody knows. The only one who knows
Speaker 1: that this happened was your uncle, who called me the
Speaker 1: other day.
Speaker 5: And I know I still haven't gotten a call from him.
Speaker 1: Yes, and he called me today to see how we
Speaker 1: were doing. But the uh SO rolled over landed on
Speaker 1: our wheels. Yeah, landed on the wheel because I kept
Speaker 1: going into the fall. I get.
Speaker 5: I don't if I backed off, we would have landed
Speaker 5: your side down.
Speaker 1: If you were just not an asshole, we wouldn't never
Speaker 1: at all. I'm just saying it's just a possibility. Yeah,
Speaker 1: do you know what I'm saying? Like he was like
Speaker 1: it was too cool billy. He had to be showing off,
Speaker 1: and I was driving, like I won't.
Speaker 4: I saw you in the back because we had enough clearance.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, coming around a turn, a little bend, hitting
Speaker 4: the gas going out, and you're like, yeah, I got.
Speaker 1: It, I got it.
Speaker 5: I got you could have done the same thing. I
Speaker 5: was flipping a couple of times. No, I was, Yes,
Speaker 5: you were.
Speaker 1: I was never up on two wheels or anything. Believe me.
Speaker 1: I know my limits. Yeah, as an old man, I
Speaker 1: know my limits.
Speaker 4: Can we give the disclaimer that you guys aren't the
Speaker 4: only one that flipped.
Speaker 1: On we were. We are not, but the other guy
Speaker 1: flipped landing on roof. So these have harnessed harnesses. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and have the four point that came up between your legs.
Speaker 1: Thank god we didn't have well not thank god. But
Speaker 1: either way, they were painting the ass just with your
Speaker 1: balls and stuff. But this guy was upside down and
Speaker 1: all he had a I guess he knows a bunch
Speaker 1: of people, the regular snowmobilers. They were part of that crew.
Speaker 1: They went and took pictures first before they fled.
Speaker 4: I saw that's when we were at that one bar.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, this was also a guy who got stuck
Speaker 5: in the river too. We had to get to the
Speaker 5: same guy who flipped.
Speaker 1: He ran out of gas.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, so then when we're coming back, I get lost.
Speaker 1: I lose everybody because my head is like, you know,
Speaker 1: a million different places I've.
Speaker 4: So we're in the bar. Yeah, it must have been
Speaker 4: the mom or the grandma.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they had they had the beacon inside.
Speaker 4: Why the fuck are they on Route twelve? They are
Speaker 4: way away from where we are, and we're like, I missed.
Speaker 1: I saw Mac go to the right, and I saw
Speaker 1: somebody else go straight or the person I'm following not
Speaker 1: part of our group. So they went home. And now
Speaker 1: I'm like I don't. Yeah, I go, where the fuck
Speaker 1: are we? So I called Tony. I go Tony, he goes,
Speaker 1: what do you mean? So then Max yelling in the background,
Speaker 1: and we're trying to put it in, but you can
Speaker 1: sometimes you can get a signal up here you're in
Speaker 1: the adirondeck. Sometimes you can't. So we weren't getting any signal.
Speaker 1: So the next thing I know, I'm following it back.
Speaker 1: So they're following us from inside the bar. Then we
Speaker 1: get there, we pull up and the kid I think
Speaker 1: as he saw us coming and heard him say, oh
Speaker 1: fuck as soon as we pull up to the poll.
Speaker 1: Now the lucky thing is like the manufacturer's roll cads
Speaker 1: that comes with this. I know somebody who bent the
Speaker 1: shit out of one of those. We didn't bend it
Speaker 1: because they were looking. They were trying. They actually say
Speaker 1: to me, because I'm standing behind the guy goes, can
Speaker 1: you just get out of the way. I just want
Speaker 1: to see if we're still in alignment here, and they
Speaker 1: were looking to make sure so that was in alignment.
Speaker 1: Then they go to refill because they have to top
Speaker 1: off with gas. You pay for whatever gas you use.
Speaker 1: They can't even do that because there's so much plaster
Speaker 1: pushed in front of the gas tank. We can't get
Speaker 1: it open. So we had we rolled it and it
Speaker 1: cost it fifteen hundred bucks yep, fifteen hundred dollars, but
Speaker 1: on what was probably four thousand dollars worth of damage we.
Speaker 4: Got's the Polarious guy. There's two Polaris guys here. He's like,
Speaker 4: oh yeah, I mean he could have got him like
Speaker 4: probably fifty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well they can help them. I look, we signed
Speaker 1: up for that insurance on purpose. I just didn't think
Speaker 1: we're gonna be using it.
Speaker 5: I just wish if we had used it, we got
Speaker 5: it more more of our money.
Speaker 1: Well, that's because every person comes to you afterwards and goes, hey, man,
Speaker 1: since you did fifteen hundred, you should all jumped this thing.
Speaker 1: You should have taken it over the gorge. You should
Speaker 1: have evil evil that. I'm like, fuck no, And I'm
Speaker 1: like fuck yeah, no, absolutely not. But I mean that
Speaker 1: that was funny because Billy was right there, like he
Speaker 1: was one of the first one. I think he were
Speaker 1: one of the first two. I saw Tony like the
Speaker 1: first two people I saw. Yeah, well Tony was I
Speaker 1: think behind him. You were in front of us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because Meg's like, what are you doing, I'm trying to.
Speaker 1: Turn around everyone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the trail, Yeah, yeah, we're going. I'm like, Billy,
Speaker 4: Billy flipped it. Billy flipped it. I saw a helmet
Speaker 4: going like, we got to get there everyone.
Speaker 5: I talked to him after It's like, oh my god,
Speaker 5: the helmets on the ground.
Speaker 1: What the hell? Well, the helmet on the ground thing
Speaker 1: is pretty scary. Yeah, and the fact that that flew out.

Speaker 1: get next year or something.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know, but last year they flipped, not during the ride,

Speaker 1: Sammy had the best voice in rock.

Speaker 8: I just went to Saratoga and it was such a
Speaker 8: great show. You had Bonham, you had what is it Satriani?

Speaker 8: Six months ago, i go like to a bunch of
Speaker 8: my high school friends, I'm like, listen, Sammy Hagar's coming
Speaker 8: to Saratoga.
Speaker 1: We gotta go. That's it, we gotta go.
Speaker 8: And then my best friend or who's uh been with
Speaker 8: me since tenth grade in high school, like he's like,
Speaker 8: all right, we're buying tickets, but I totally forgot.
Speaker 1: About how long are these motherfuckers gonna be. You can
Speaker 1: come in, you can sit down right there, you can
Speaker 1: do whatever you want, Tony. We've been we've been watching.
Speaker 1: We were watching some of the most intense people this weekend,
Speaker 1: did we not, one of them being Alison Bates. Allison
Speaker 1: came in as So there's a costume contest. Your husband
Speaker 1: pulls up, he gets out, he comes in as Tupac. Tattoos,
Speaker 1: the do rag the right way, everything all done, the
Speaker 1: change a glock. Yes, he had it all. How did
Speaker 1: you get the tattoos.
Speaker 9: On their temporary tattoos?
Speaker 1: Well, I get their temporary tattoos. I understand that, but
Speaker 1: still that's work.
Speaker 9: It's work. It took us about an hour an hour,
Speaker 9: like thirty tattoos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then did you go and do get right
Speaker 1: on that? You gotta lean right into the show.
Speaker 7: So we went back to our Airbnb. Had all the
Speaker 7: tattoos you ordered on Etsy. We cut them up paper towel,
Speaker 7: wet paper towels, just like you do with kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and we just we looked up pictures of Tupac.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and he's you think I'm intense. He's way more intense.
Speaker 1: I think you're very intense, but he is.
Speaker 9: Ten times more intense. You wouldn't even know it. He
Speaker 9: wanted him exactly where they believe.
Speaker 8: Your husband has. Was it really difficult to place outside?
Speaker 9: It was?
Speaker 7: It was we had to take a couple of breaks.
Speaker 7: I go, other than the thug life tattoo, nobody is
Speaker 7: gonna know. Nobody's going to be like he has the
Speaker 7: cheetah tattoo on his left arm, not his right arm.
Speaker 7: And he's like, I just want him to be exactly
Speaker 7: how he has. He's very much confrectionist when it comes
Speaker 7: to that.
Speaker 8: I think the nine mill like.
Speaker 1: Seal the deal and then you come in as Jesus
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 7: It was funny because Kate Susa I saw her at
Speaker 7: hockey rink a couple of months ago and she said, hey,
Speaker 7: did you hear about one of the days of the
Speaker 7: rugby run is going to be you have to come
Speaker 7: dress as a dead person.
Speaker 9: And immediately Jesus came into my mind.
Speaker 7: That was the first one was within I knew my
Speaker 7: costin within three seconds. Well he's the original dead person
Speaker 7: and he died for since so I thought of that immediately.
Speaker 7: And then I got home and I told Jeff about it.
Speaker 7: And I'm also like the number one, biggest, notorious big
Speaker 7: fan in the world, Like I actually have a life
Speaker 7: size painting of him in my house.
Speaker 9: I love him.
Speaker 7: So we did think about doing like the big Eie Tupac.
Speaker 7: I was already committed to Jesus at that point.
Speaker 8: So I mean, let's be honest. You can come dressed
Speaker 8: up as whoever you want to be dressed up as, yes,
Speaker 8: but when you pull up you got some music, Yes,
Speaker 8: you got a show. I mean you came like, I
Speaker 8: don't know, one hundred yards down, carrying across.
Speaker 1: Dragging it. I walked.
Speaker 9: I walked like a half a mile.
Speaker 1: To that cross.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was amazing.
Speaker 9: That's why I was talking so slow.
Speaker 1: Number one winner Jesus Tupac. And so then we had
Speaker 1: there's a cornhole tournament. Okay, I'm watching you, guys, I'm
Speaker 1: watching you. You're out there, you're practicing the intensity.
Speaker 7: Everyone's sitting around eating their breakfast and Jeff and I
Speaker 7: are out there practicing strategizing.
Speaker 9: We're not partners.
Speaker 1: No, well, the partners were random. You had no idea
Speaker 1: who you're going to do.
Speaker 7: Let's rewind the last year Jeff was the champ last year.
Speaker 7: Writ his name's on a plaque in the grass, shout out.
Speaker 9: So we came in.
Speaker 7: We got to defend that title, right, Yeah, But I
Speaker 7: felt kind of bad because we already won the costume contest,
Speaker 7: and I was like, if we win Cornhole too, like,
Speaker 7: are we not going to get in wady back, because
Speaker 7: everyone's just gonna feel bad about themselves.
Speaker 1: No, right, by the way, you didn't just but we
Speaker 1: didn't care.
Speaker 9: The corner hold we were on the corn.
Speaker 1: Hold us well, he crushed. So the Cornholk was intense.
Speaker 1: That came down, that came to the wire. This year,
Speaker 1: that did come to the wire. And I don't know
Speaker 1: how many how far you got in or how close
Speaker 1: to the fun around your team got.
Speaker 9: I think we were in the semis.
Speaker 1: But here's what I loved about watching you intense, but
Speaker 1: a sense of humor about it, Like when it was over,
Speaker 1: even though you know you weren't happy, I saw it
Speaker 1: on your face for a split second and it was done.
Speaker 9: It was done.
Speaker 8: Was it just a split second?
Speaker 1: Wait? It was a split second because then she was
Speaker 1: cheering for her husband and you know, promising him things.
Speaker 1: I think we heard something that you promised and then
Speaker 1: which was awesome. And then but then the flip come.
Speaker 8: Everybody heard it.
Speaker 1: Every guy here what what road? And every guy said
Speaker 1: what d I was like, every do you have a pet?
Speaker 1: Do you have a dog? I do? Yeah, So like
Speaker 1: when you crack that food can no matter where that
Speaker 1: dog comes. So every guy, every guy heard that. But
Speaker 1: then but you know what.
Speaker 9: They were behind when I said that, and then they
Speaker 9: came back.
Speaker 1: Yes they did one, Yes they did, Yes they did.
Speaker 1: And then the flip cup. Watching you with flip cup,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're rallying this team, rallying the team, you
Speaker 1: get that there's huddles all of a sudden. I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like this. These are backyard games. I've never
Speaker 1: seen so many. Are you like that about everything.
Speaker 9: And everything in life?
Speaker 7: Yes, I'll tell you the first time I realized I
Speaker 7: was competitive.
Speaker 9: And I say this with the most respect, but.
Speaker 7: I grew up living near a girl who had some difficulties,
Speaker 7: we'll just say that. And I remember maybe being five
Speaker 7: or six years old and playing candy Land with her,
Speaker 7: and she had some physical limitations or whatnot, and I
Speaker 7: just remember losing at candy Land and taking the board
Speaker 7: like this and just flipping it over at her and
Speaker 7: walking out and going home and just feeling that intensity
Speaker 7: of it and just wanting to win everything I do,
Speaker 7: so everything I.
Speaker 9: Do is everything all, which is a blessing and a curse.
Speaker 1: Why do you say a curse because I don't.
Speaker 8: Think because she knocked me out of the game, because
Speaker 8: she's like, you got to get rid of him, you.
Speaker 1: Got to get rid of him. Oh at the at
Speaker 1: the uh, it was ridiculous.
Speaker 7: It can be a curse because I can't ever just
Speaker 7: do it halfway right, which is sometimes just easier.
Speaker 1: Well, it is, but I think there's also I think
Speaker 1: that mediocrity is doing it halfway, and I think that
Speaker 1: we see that all the time, and I think the
Speaker 1: easy way out is something. And I get the impression.
Speaker 1: And I don't know about your personal life like growing
Speaker 1: up and stuff, but I don't think anything's been handed
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 9: It was not that it was not.
Speaker 1: So all this stuff is. I mean, you're self made.
Speaker 1: You know, you have your ome law practice, Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: you and your husband together, yep, yep, you have properties that.
Speaker 9: You We've got a lot of investment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of investment.
Speaker 9: Prodigal five years ago.
Speaker 7: Let's buy one property a year for ten years, and
Speaker 7: or we just finished year five, fifth property.
Speaker 1: It's amazing, it's amazing, and I mean running your own
Speaker 1: business and stuff. But so how do you balance all that?
Speaker 1: And how let me start with that? How do you
Speaker 1: balance that? Because you have two young boys? Right?
Speaker 9: Yep?
Speaker 1: How old are they?
Speaker 9: Almost seven and thirteen?
Speaker 1: So seven and thirteen. And I'm assuming just as intense
Speaker 1: as you are when it comes to sports, one of them,
Speaker 1: one of them. I don't mean it's intense, but very involved.
Speaker 1: I would assume I'm involved, which means that you have
Speaker 1: to be there or Jeff has to be there, yes,
Speaker 1: running them around, right, yeah, all that stuff. Where do
Speaker 1: they go to school? Now?
Speaker 7: My older one is at McQuaid yeah and great, yeah,
Speaker 7: and my younger one is in Victor.
Speaker 1: Okay, yep, so will they both be at mcuad?
Speaker 7: Probably? Yeah, probably, I'll wait and see. My older son
Speaker 7: really needed what McQuaid offers. My younger son's a different kid.
Speaker 9: He may do.
Speaker 1: I think that's really good to hear. Because I have
Speaker 1: three boys, I only put one in mcquad. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and I always said he needed his march as tightened. Yep.
Speaker 1: That was the thing right because you could he was
Speaker 1: really smart, did really well. But Pittsford he could hand
Speaker 1: it in at the end of the week. I don't
Speaker 1: worry about it, Jordan, and I wanted that ten points off.
Speaker 7: The accountability at McQuaid is unreal. I can't say enough
Speaker 7: good things about the school. They actually tell you on
Speaker 7: parent orientation night, if your kid forgets their instrument, if
Speaker 7: your kid forgets their cleats, if your kid forgets their
Speaker 7: permission slip, do not bring it to the school, Do
Speaker 7: not enable them. Let them get detention what they call jug,
Speaker 7: let them get a bad grade on their test, let
Speaker 7: them miss you know, their their band concert. And it
Speaker 7: causes your kids to rise to the occasion. I saw
Speaker 7: ten years of growth in my kid in.
Speaker 9: One year of school. There is that an amazing It's
Speaker 9: an amazing school.
Speaker 1: I loved it for my kid. But I would say,
Speaker 1: you know, I think what you're saying about your second
Speaker 1: kid is really really smart. You know, know your kids.
Speaker 1: But take that to like your law practice and stuff
Speaker 1: the intensity. I mean your family practice right, family law.
Speaker 7: I do family law primarily all litigation, so always in
Speaker 7: court on trial, highly litigated cases.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and how is that in terms of intense it's
Speaker 1: got to help you.
Speaker 9: I think it does.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 9: I think that.
Speaker 7: One of the things that someone I really looked up
Speaker 7: to told me when I first started practicing is just
Speaker 7: be the most prepared, be the most prepared attorney in there,
Speaker 7: and you'll win every case. And not saying I win
Speaker 7: every case, because nobody does, but I do believe I
Speaker 7: am more prepared.
Speaker 9: Ninety nine percent of the time goes a long way.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think preparation is absolutely.
Speaker 7: In everything right everything and what we're doing right now
Speaker 7: and whatever Tony does. I mean everything, and because it
Speaker 7: builds a level of confidence that then allows you to,
Speaker 7: you know, execute what you need to execute.
Speaker 1: So lawyer mom, wife, you were competing in.
Speaker 9: CrossFit bodybuilding, so.
Speaker 1: You were doing bodybuilding.
Speaker 7: So a couple of years ago, I turned forty and
Speaker 7: I had been working with the personal trainer for a
Speaker 7: little bit, phenomenal personal trainer, he's very well known in Rochester,
Speaker 7: and decided what, I'm forty years old, and it was
Speaker 7: kind of sad for me, right, like.
Speaker 9: You know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 7: I'm over the hill all the yea, So let me
Speaker 7: see where I can get my body at So talk
Speaker 7: to my trainer about it, and we decided to do it.
Speaker 9: And my husband said, if you're gonna do it, I'm
Speaker 9: gonna do it with you.
Speaker 7: Like I said earlier, he's believe it or not, probably
Speaker 7: more intense than me.
Speaker 9: So great support. Yep, yep.
Speaker 7: And people said, you're crazy for doing it together. You're
Speaker 7: gonna fight, You're both gonna be miserable. And I can't
Speaker 7: imagine doing it alone actually because you're you know, we
Speaker 7: had to eat the same stuff, the same thing, right.
Speaker 9: It would have sucked if I.
Speaker 7: Was eating chicken and rice for sixteen weeks and he
Speaker 7: was eating pizza, right. So it was actually amazing experience
Speaker 7: doing it together. So we went talk about intensity. So
Speaker 7: we go to our first show and we'd prepped, you know,
Speaker 7: we had been always working out and active, but we
Speaker 7: are real. Prep was like sixteen to twenty weeks out
Speaker 7: and we go. Jeff the men go first.
Speaker 1: So he also bodybuild.
Speaker 7: He yep, he did it, okay, But this was like,
Speaker 7: this wasn't this is not a hobby for us.
Speaker 9: It was a one time thing.
Speaker 1: Would you with me?
Speaker 8: Could we like just like get a group together and I.
Speaker 9: Would love to see it.
Speaker 1: I would love. Yeah, we would go from flabs to ABS.
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna call it, From flaps TOABS.
Speaker 7: That's in your podcast Follow It Weekly updated from Flatas.
Speaker 7: So Jeff gets up there and he dominates. He gets
Speaker 7: first place in every category you're kidding, all four categories.
Speaker 7: And then so when you it was a pro am
Speaker 7: so there's pros there and there's amateurs there. So he's
Speaker 7: obviously an amateur because it was the first show. And
Speaker 7: then he gets called up to compete for his pro
Speaker 7: card in his first show or whatever, so he doesn't
Speaker 7: get he doesn't end up getting it. I mean, he's
Speaker 7: going off guys that have done six, eight, ten shows before,
Speaker 7: but he has the opportunity to go up there and
Speaker 7: pose for his pro card. He ends up, you know,
Speaker 7: he gets first place. And I went up and I
Speaker 7: got second place in my categories, which no, I didn't.
Speaker 9: I was actually good.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 7: It was amazing experience. I will say the girl that
Speaker 7: got first place was eighteen years old.
Speaker 1: Why usually they have you in categories usually and forgive me,
Speaker 1: but over fourty is usually the senior.
Speaker 7: There was different categories, so I did I'm talking about
Speaker 7: getting second in the category that was general.
Speaker 9: I don't remember what it was called, but everybody.
Speaker 1: So as a forty year old woman, you came in
Speaker 1: second to any.
Speaker 9: Old if you did not have two babies.
Speaker 7: I felt great about it, and the amount of effort
Speaker 7: that would have had to go into to getting first place.
Speaker 9: I could do it again.
Speaker 7: At first, I know that it would be unreal and
Speaker 7: I'm not willing to take that sacrifice because it was
Speaker 7: two hours a day pretty much between travel time to
Speaker 7: the gym, working out back home, and then all the
Speaker 7: meal prepping and all that, and I'm just not wanting
Speaker 7: to take that time away from my practice, that time.
Speaker 9: Away for my kids.
Speaker 1: Right, But you did do it.
Speaker 7: I did it, and that's all I wanted to do
Speaker 7: was do it. I honestly didn't even care if I placed.
Speaker 7: I just wanted to say I can do this with
Speaker 7: my body at this stage.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that was all I cared about.
Speaker 8: Amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the spray tan alone had to be Oh God,
Speaker 1: that was like part it is because there's all the
Speaker 1: spray tan stuff that goes on with that. There's a
Speaker 1: ton that was into the posing. How did you learn
Speaker 1: the post?
Speaker 7: I had a coach named Christina Mono she's amazing. She
Speaker 7: she she does the posing for a lot of bodybuilders
Speaker 7: in the area, and she even does it virtually for
Speaker 7: people all over the country.
Speaker 1: She's incredible.
Speaker 8: A close friend of my his wife, decided like she's
Speaker 8: just gonna like go like full out.
Speaker 9: Like I'm going for like shows right nice.
Speaker 8: Like amazing.
Speaker 9: Yep.
Speaker 8: So she was really fit before her kids, yep, and
Speaker 8: then kind of like let the let her body go
Speaker 8: a little bit.
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, yeah, But then all of a.
Speaker 8: Sudden she's in shows Like I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 8: is that Jennifer, Like it's she's now meal prepping everything.
Speaker 1: Everything she does online, it's it's all meal preps. Is
Speaker 1: this It's a great thing to see what the human
Speaker 1: body can do.
Speaker 9: It's yeah, real, That's more what it was about for
Speaker 9: Jeff and I like what what can we do?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 9: And then okay, now we did it? So what did
Speaker 9: what do we go? Can we do? What other challenge
Speaker 9: can we take?
Speaker 1: What did you learn from that? Did you learn anything
Speaker 1: from that?
Speaker 9: I mean I learned a lot of discipline from that.
Speaker 1: Do you believe there's anything you can't do?
Speaker 9: I don't. I don't honestly, I believe.
Speaker 1: That I believe that what would be the next challenge?
Speaker 1: You seem to enjoy the challenges, and I know, Look,
Speaker 1: I have a couple.
Speaker 9: I have a couple of ideas.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not going to share them, but I've got
Speaker 7: a couple of ideas of things I want to try.
Speaker 1: Would you ever run a marathon?
Speaker 7: No, I'm not a runner. I've got a terrible knee.
Speaker 7: I don't enjoy running.
Speaker 1: Self aware, man, that's the greatest thing. Would you do
Speaker 1: cycling at all? Or is that too much on the
Speaker 1: knee too?
Speaker 7: No? I don't think I'll do something like in the
Speaker 7: physical fitness world again, really, because I feel like I've
Speaker 7: checked that box right, Okay, So I don't know what
Speaker 7: it will be. It will be amazing, I'll tell you that,
Speaker 7: but it won't probably be in the fitness industry again.
Speaker 1: So, you know, a lot of couples work together. It's
Speaker 1: it's it is hard. Some make it work, some don't.
Speaker 1: Some have tried it. You and Jeff work together, and I've.
Speaker 9: Work together, adjoining offices.
Speaker 1: Joining offices. But is it How does that work for you?
Speaker 9: It works fine?
Speaker 7: And I wi I would lead lying if I said
Speaker 7: he didn't have a little trepidation going into it. Of course,
Speaker 7: mostly of other people were like, Oh, are you really
Speaker 7: going to do that?
Speaker 9: Are you nervous about that?
Speaker 1: That funny people.
Speaker 9: Yeah, right, But it's.
Speaker 7: Been one hundred percent fine. I will say, like in
Speaker 7: the beginning, we're like, this is going to be great.
Speaker 7: We're going to ride to work together every day, We're
Speaker 7: gonna have lunch together every day. We rode together to
Speaker 7: work the first day and we haven't done it since
Speaker 7: and four years and we've had lunch together twice because
Speaker 7: we just are very busy and we do very different
Speaker 7: things at work. So I'm an attorney, I'm in core,
Speaker 7: I'm doing litigation. He's a divorce mediator. Here's a whole
Speaker 7: separate clientele. We don't have the same clients, we're not
Speaker 7: doing the same type of work, So.
Speaker 9: There'll be days where I don't even see him.
Speaker 1: So that's kind to make it, I mean, that makes
Speaker 1: it better.
Speaker 9: Yep.
Speaker 1: But the fact that you that he jumped in and
Speaker 1: did the bodybuilding with you, and this is this is
Speaker 1: more than a partnership that you guys have.
Speaker 9: This is a pretty amazing partnersh Yeah.
Speaker 1: It is. Yeah, how did you meet Jeff?
Speaker 7: We met actually online out ten years. Yeah, it was
Speaker 7: the only thing really out there at the time. There
Speaker 7: wasn't Tinder all that stuff.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 7: I had someone visiting me, an old friend visiting me,
Speaker 7: and I was kind of down, you know, about my situation,
Speaker 7: and she said, why don't you do online dating?
Speaker 9: And I said, no, that's for losers. I'm not doing that.
Speaker 7: And she's like, we're doing it. So she like helped
Speaker 7: me set up a profile. And I was only on
Speaker 7: there for about a week.
Speaker 9: And when I tell you, it was weird, it was weird.
Speaker 7: And Jeff was really the only person I communicated with
Speaker 7: quite a bit, and he lived a little over an
Speaker 7: hour away, so I would not have met him otherwise.
Speaker 7: And we talked back and forth, email back and forth
Speaker 7: for a few days, went out to dinner.
Speaker 1: And that's great. And look at this, I mean it's
Speaker 1: it was fun to watch you guys. It was fun
Speaker 1: from Yeah, I'll tell you what it made me go.
Speaker 1: If I come back. I got to step up my game.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I gave will match that game,
Speaker 1: but I got to step my game. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: it is. It's a rising tide floats all boats and
Speaker 1: raised that tide.
Speaker 7: I will say, if you had asked me six seven
Speaker 7: years ago, how'd you met Jeff, I would have said, oh,
Speaker 7: we met through a mutual friend, because I feel like
Speaker 7: it was kind of sigma back then. But now I
Speaker 7: feel it's what all the young kids do, right, They
Speaker 7: go to a new city for workers on, they hop on, bumble,
Speaker 7: they grinder. I don't know, there's a million apps for it.
Speaker 7: So but it was kind of weird at the time. Okay,
Speaker 7: that's was the only really thing out there, and like
Speaker 7: the harmony, you know, and so y e harmony, remember that.
Speaker 9: So I would have I would allied to you.
Speaker 7: I did for a couple of years, but then I
Speaker 7: just thought, well, whatever, you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, guys, you're doing great and the practice is doing great,
Speaker 1: and you kicked every ascid in every category. Here break
Speaker 1: down to flip cup. It was it was. It was
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to see. And I didn't know
Speaker 1: about the bodybuilding. Oh I didn't know about the body
Speaker 1: I knew you were competing. I always thought it was
Speaker 1: just cross pakames or something like that, but I didn't
Speaker 1: know about that. That's very impressing.
Speaker 9: And we played flip cup with non alcoholic beer. I
Speaker 9: will say that, so you can have fun people, yeah,
Speaker 9: and not drink.
Speaker 1: Yes. Well, I mean even now, diet still count calories.
Speaker 9: What do you do Jeff does. Actually, we're on the
Speaker 9: way here.
Speaker 7: We stopped for lunch somewhere and he was putting his
Speaker 7: meals in my fitness pail or whatever it is he uses,
Speaker 7: and he got an alert and he goes up seven
Speaker 7: hundred and forty four days in a row.
Speaker 9: I've been tracking my food. I'll tell you.
Speaker 7: The last day I tracked my food was the day
Speaker 7: before the bodybuilding show. Yeah, I don't do it anymore.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of well, you don't look like you've it.
Speaker 1: It's harmed you at all. Yeah, you look great. And
Speaker 1: that was impressive. The whole thing was impressive. Yeah, were
Speaker 1: trying to say, well, what am I trying to say that?
Speaker 1: I just watched two intense backyard games. I've never seen
Speaker 1: people this focused to this intense.
Speaker 8: But one of the rules where you had to take
Speaker 8: the best player out, Yeah, everybody.
Speaker 7: Both times, so both times you got to get rid
Speaker 7: of her. I will say that was kind of sad.
Speaker 7: Both times. So we played Survivor where the other team
Speaker 7: gets to vote off someone from the other team. Right,
Speaker 7: So both times the guys or the other team whatever
Speaker 7: voted me off first, which is kind of a compliment,
Speaker 7: because there.
Speaker 1: Was a compliments. Yeah, this was in flip cup, by
Speaker 1: the way, which then I did see at one point
Speaker 1: Alison flip the cup not once, not twice, three maybe
Speaker 1: four times before.
Speaker 7: Atlanta, because you know I did that, and she I
Speaker 7: wanted so mad at herself. No, it's because I wanted
Speaker 7: to throw the guys off so they wouldn't vote me
Speaker 7: off first, and they did it.
Speaker 9: Anyway.
Speaker 1: Oh, look at this, it was strategy because you were
Speaker 1: even like I watched you, I watched what am I?
Speaker 1: What am I doing?
Speaker 7: But I needed the guys to feel like I wasn't
Speaker 7: a threat anymore.
Speaker 8: And I heard her bring up my name and I
Speaker 8: was like, no, she's got to go. It's like I was, literally,
Speaker 8: she's got to go.
Speaker 1: Everything in this everything, everything's people. How much the strategy
Speaker 1: playing in your life every day?
Speaker 9: I will sadly say pretty much.
Speaker 1: Everything was prep. It's prep, right, it's prep, and it's
Speaker 1: about winning. Yeah. Well, it's been a pleasure talking to you.
Speaker 1: I've been any time. It was nice to see you.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen you in years.
Speaker 7: I've seen you many years ago when I had the
Speaker 7: pleasure of guest co hosting a few times on the
Speaker 7: WII Show and you had tools would be on right
Speaker 7: after be.
Speaker 1: On right after that. Yeah. So, and I know that
Speaker 1: Weez is uh coming. I think to the end of
Speaker 1: his broadcasting. I think he's going to retire thish, I
Speaker 1: think so, I think that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I mean what an icon.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, unbelievable even I mean, I think one of the
Speaker 1: only people I know in the National Radio Hall of Fame.
Speaker 9: So that's yeah, pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: Allison Bates crushing it at life. That's what I would
Speaker 1: say that what is your model? Do you have one?
Speaker 9: I don't.
Speaker 1: It should be crushing life. All right, that was pretty good.

Speaker 1: Auting, Chelsea Mac co hosting because I'll say co host
Speaker 1: because well, co hosting because you and Mike and the
Speaker 1: big party this weekend. This has been an incredible weekend
Speaker 1: and the amount of work you had to put into this,
Speaker 1: from the UTV ride to today with the food trucks
Speaker 1: on property, the cornhole tournament. I don't even know how
Speaker 1: they organized this. It was all brackets. Everybody followed through.
Speaker 1: It's just been amazing start to finish.
Speaker 6: Thanks a lot to chat pt or whatever the.
Speaker 1: Chat gept Yeah, why what do you mean chat cheepet?
Speaker 1: What the hell the chat gpt doo it's allai baby,
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, well ai is I mean that's
Speaker 1: the way things are going in the future. But this
Speaker 1: is a uh I mean that's really impressive. The property
Speaker 1: is impressive. Great group of people. Why do this? It's
Speaker 1: a lot of work, it is, But.
Speaker 6: I think The coolest part I was just talking to
Speaker 6: my friend Jenny about was every year. The first year
Speaker 6: we had maybe fourteen people. Last year we had twenty
Speaker 6: eight people. This year we had almost fifty. So the
Speaker 6: best part is I think just sharing the peace and
Speaker 6: happiness that this place brings. I think it brings out
Speaker 6: the best in everybody that we just don't know in
Speaker 6: our souls that we can that we have right. Right,
Speaker 6: So when you're up here and you're in the woods
Speaker 6: and you're experiencing just God's country and you're not.
Speaker 1: Just in this, it's an amazing thing because you know
Speaker 1: what's happened a lot of times too in psychology now
Speaker 1: is they're doing a lot of nature healing, right, so
Speaker 1: they take people out and I know it sounds funny,
Speaker 1: but there is healing. I'm a big I'm a I'm
Speaker 1: a fucking weirdo when it comes to this stuff. I'm
Speaker 1: a big believer in, you know, a law of attraction
Speaker 1: and you know your thoughts and everything that whatever has
Speaker 1: happened to you is completely your fault, nobody else's fault.
Speaker 1: But I do think that there's like some real healing
Speaker 1: powers in nature. It just sort of calms you down
Speaker 1: and to me, ripping around on those things yesterday was
Speaker 1: just a blast. But I love racing and doing that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. But this is it's been an amazing party,
Speaker 1: and I just can't imagine the amount of work and
Speaker 1: planning that went in. I mean right down to there's
Speaker 1: gifts in everybody's room.
Speaker 6: Well, that's just a part of who I am.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing is like you're very inclusive because
Speaker 1: I will tell you that, you know, somebody else was
Speaker 1: in here before and said this weekend was completely out
Speaker 1: of her comfort zone and she enjoyed the entire thing.
Speaker 1: And I would say that some of the stuff would
Speaker 1: be out of my comfort doing a costume, watching Alice
Speaker 1: and Bates and her husband come in in their costume,
Speaker 1: and some other people. I mean, there was a couple
Speaker 1: people who really really impressed me. Right, you got a
Speaker 1: couple of Amy winehouses. All that I went. If I'm
Speaker 1: if I come back next year, I gotta I gotta
Speaker 1: out my game, Gotta up the game. I mean, there
Speaker 1: was some real planning that went into this from start
Speaker 1: to finish. Up the game, Gotta up the game, in
Speaker 1: the in the cornhole tournament, I mean everything.
Speaker 6: So next year we said that the tournament or the
Speaker 6: costume party, I should say for the tournament, I think
Speaker 6: was just a different dynamic that we'd never done. But
Speaker 6: I think it was like just you know, people said, well,
Speaker 6: should I get dressed before we come to the lunch
Speaker 6: the food truck, And I'm like, yeah, get dressed when
Speaker 6: you brush your teeth, because then you're just committed, like
Speaker 6: that's it, right, You're in it to win it. And
Speaker 6: people showed up, and I do actually appreciate that everybody
Speaker 6: showed up and put a lot of energy into the
Speaker 6: costumes Ali and Jeff and take it to a different level.
Speaker 1: Well I got the impression that Alien and Jeff take
Speaker 1: everything to a different level. So Ali just sat in
Speaker 1: here and I just said to her, you were one
Speaker 1: of the most intense people I've ever She.
Speaker 6: Told me she was going to get She said, I
Speaker 6: might get kicked out for the costume decision that I have.
Speaker 1: Oh, I was going to kick her out for that.
Speaker 1: I understand what she's saying.
Speaker 6: I mean, it was you know, no, I think that
Speaker 6: I don't know. It just brings a different dydamic of
Speaker 6: like people getting like invested and excited and it's funny,
Speaker 6: but I do know next year, I am going to
Speaker 6: make people, I think, act out.
Speaker 1: Who they are, act out who they are.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so like Ali and Jeff. You know, Jeff rolled
Speaker 6: up as Tupac. Nobody knew. You know, he's dipping back
Speaker 6: in his front seat playing Tupac, you know. And Alie
Speaker 6: obviously had this extreme you know, carrying across down the
Speaker 6: road and you know, just this big grant.
Speaker 1: So it's their fault.
Speaker 6: They no, they wont.
Speaker 1: No, no, no. What I'm saying is the idea that
Speaker 1: the fact that people are going to have to act
Speaker 1: this out next year is their fault.
Speaker 6: Oh one hundred percent have started a trend. And that's
Speaker 6: just that's what it is. That's that's the new expectation.
Speaker 1: That's the new expectation, because I really I have to
Speaker 1: think like they tell me if I'm wrong. Mike, he
Speaker 1: didn't want to do a costume.
Speaker 6: He's the one who came up with the idea.
Speaker 1: Shut up, I shut up, I swear, I gotta be
Speaker 1: kidding me. He's the one he came with the cut
Speaker 1: of all the people. I would have never thought that.
Speaker 6: I know, he said, I think that we should have
Speaker 6: a costume on Cornhole Day, on game Day. I think
Speaker 6: it would just make things so much more fun. Whatever,
Speaker 6: Let's just have people come in a costume. And I said, okay,
Speaker 6: well if they do, Like, if I'm coming in a
Speaker 6: costume and I am gonna wear something good, I want
Speaker 6: to know the I'm going to win something. So that
Speaker 6: was my idea to say, if you're going to come
Speaker 6: in costume and if you're not going to show up,
Speaker 6: then you're buying shots if you're well you wrote.
Speaker 1: In the in the TEXTA went out, don't be a Karen,
Speaker 1: which I thought was the greatest thing you could do.
Speaker 1: Now I think the male equivalent of that is a Kyle.
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure, but either way, I got the
Speaker 1: I got the mass, and then I was like, do
Speaker 1: I really and the people because it's four to what
Speaker 1: are they called where we're saying.
Speaker 6: Oh, it's raven Acres.
Speaker 1: Raven Acres, but they're like, uh, they're not. They're nice.
Speaker 1: They're like hotel rooms but they're nice. They have their
Speaker 1: own bathroom and two bedrooms and a kitchen and all this.
Speaker 1: They're really great. If anybody's looking to come up to
Speaker 1: the Anirondecks and you want to, you know, raven Acres
Speaker 1: is fantastic. But so I'm staying with Tony and his
Speaker 1: wife Sarah, and they went I was like, Oh, of
Speaker 1: a sudden, I'm standing there, I'm helping her glue on
Speaker 1: her beard. I go, okay, I just fucking lost. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm so embarrassed.
Speaker 6: Superman.
Speaker 1: Well, so okay, here's what I was gonna do. I
Speaker 1: tried to put the curl down on my hair, and
Speaker 1: then what I was gonna do is crawling in my hands.
Speaker 1: So I was Christopher Reeve because he got paralyzed falling
Speaker 1: off a horse and then he died. And so that
Speaker 1: was my original plan. But then I tried it for
Speaker 1: a few people here and they're like, yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: little distasteful, and I went, all right, well, so much
Speaker 1: for that. So I I didn't keep pushing it, but
Speaker 1: that that was That was my costume. That was my
Speaker 1: original idea that I would try to do that. And
Speaker 1: then my kid looks at me and goes, uh, you
Speaker 1: look like Superman who really let himself go just terrible.
Speaker 1: He goes, we could have done I'll be Superman before
Speaker 1: and then your Christopher Reeve after he fell off the
Speaker 1: wark and you got fat and sloppy and you know,
Speaker 1: and died. I go, that was That's wonderful, That's really great.
Speaker 1: But this is uh and it's a great group of people,
Speaker 1: and it's people from all different walks of your life. Right,
Speaker 1: you have your high school friends here and then uh
Speaker 1: mercy yep, okay, and then it's people that you snowmobile right.
Speaker 1: Are there hockey? Do your kid your kids play hockey?
Speaker 4: Yep?
Speaker 6: We have hockey parents here that I've met through obviously,
Speaker 6: like our kids playing together. So high school for me.
Speaker 6: Even a restaurant that I worked at, so a coworker
Speaker 6: there and his wife and I was in their wedding.
Speaker 1: Do you really make connections? I mean, I'm kind of
Speaker 1: you you do. Yeah, No, but you really make connections
Speaker 1: because Mike's.
Speaker 6: Is neighbors neighbors.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Mike seems like he's a little more I
Speaker 1: didn't realize how intense, by the way, until I was
Speaker 1: watching Flip Cup and they lost.
Speaker 6: Yeah, bike is very intense. So Mike is one hundred percent.
Speaker 6: So we're very Mike and I are obviously very similar,
Speaker 6: so we've been married almost ten years. But he's very
Speaker 6: like type A I am too. We love to like
Speaker 6: plan things. We planned a Key West trip in the fall.
Speaker 6: We had this whole itinery for every day everybody was
Speaker 6: there and you know, had this whole breakdown. We just
Speaker 6: enjoy like people to I don't know, invite people and
Speaker 6: just have fun like we have one life, right. Yeah,
Speaker 6: but this place here is the best because I feel
Speaker 6: every time we're here, like Mike's blood pressure goes down
Speaker 6: like fifty points.
Speaker 1: Yeah good.
Speaker 6: And then you walk outside and it's quiet and peaceful
Speaker 6: and like the normal you know, one hundred miles an
Speaker 6: hour every day, hustle and bustle that were used to
Speaker 6: you home.
Speaker 1: You and Mike. You were a nurse, I was, and
Speaker 1: then you left that and you work you might work together, yes,
Speaker 1: Mac of all trades. Y, how does that work for you?
Speaker 1: Because for some people that doesn't work well, but it
Speaker 1: seems to work great for.
Speaker 9: You, guys, it does.
Speaker 6: I mean there's good and bad days, but we always say,
Speaker 6: like we're defying the ads. You know, we're thirteen years apart,
Speaker 6: we have two kids together, we live together, we work together,
Speaker 6: I mean, and we still most of the time like
Speaker 6: each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, yeah, I've never seen it. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: never seen it where it was, you know, the other
Speaker 1: way around. And I think that the business is great.
Speaker 1: Anybody I know who has had maca all trades do
Speaker 1: work always raves about it and it's always so. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's a great thing. I love when I see people
Speaker 1: come walking into your place because there's a lot of
Speaker 1: action there.
Speaker 6: There's a ton of action. Yeah, we're were in a
Speaker 6: good spot, like in the village. Yes, people go to
Speaker 6: like the chiropractor, or go to China King, or get
Speaker 6: their hair done at Revelations, and there's just a lot
Speaker 6: of word of mouth, which is cool. So it's nice
Speaker 6: to like make those connections.
Speaker 1: And I will tell you I've had a theory and
Speaker 1: I don't know how this will play out out, but
Speaker 1: I think COVID everybody became a di wire. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're not as good as they think they are.
Speaker 1: And I'm waiting for like twenty years after people start downsizing,
Speaker 1: kids going to college, you are going to have some
Speaker 1: fucked up basements, walls that aren't even wiring. That's really
Speaker 1: shitty and horrible. I mean, it's it's just gonna be bad.
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be bad from start to finish. And
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that that. I mean, I think that's
Speaker 1: the stuff that you want to be able to get in.
Speaker 1: Let a pro do it. You're not as good as
Speaker 1: you think you are. Let a pro do it.
Speaker 6: Yes, there's a lot of DIY stuff, for sure, but
Speaker 6: you know, at the end of the day, I feel like,
Speaker 6: at least this place is cool, and we love having
Speaker 6: this party because it's just an easy place for people
Speaker 6: to come up and we love to entertain.
Speaker 1: And just these very giving you and Mike. No, seriously,
Speaker 1: I think very giving, very open, very friendly, and all
Speaker 1: your friends are. Because I have and I'm not proud
Speaker 1: about this, but I have passed out in a friend's bed.
Speaker 1: Oh at their cottage. Yeah, I think I puked in
Speaker 1: their bathroom and then I passed out in their bed.
Speaker 1: I just I will own that. I will own that forever.
Speaker 1: And I've never been more embarrassed in my life. I like,
Speaker 1: and I remember, see, yes, the apology, I owe you
Speaker 1: a gift basket and probably pay you for a weekend rental.
Speaker 1: I was so mortified, and I remember him like, I
Speaker 1: don't even worry about it, and then he was telling me,
Speaker 1: because you guys were happy to be there when we
Speaker 1: pulled up on the boat, and I blamed Damian Monconnery
Speaker 1: always because it's never my fault. Even though I said
Speaker 1: that everything influence, I was like, oh my god, but
Speaker 1: everybody there was just giving and nice and kind, and
Speaker 1: I thought that was great. It's a great crew.
Speaker 6: Listen, good people know good people, and honestly, like, even
Speaker 6: though you know when you were at Kuka and all
Speaker 6: that happened.
Speaker 5: I like to go Yuka.
Speaker 6: But I feel actually Jenny and I were just talking
Speaker 6: about it, and she's Jenny is behind me, but we
Speaker 6: were just talking about this is just in general, I
Speaker 6: feel super fortunate, not just me, but I don't know,
Speaker 6: it's just different with some people and different parts of
Speaker 6: our life and just everybody is just really good people,
Speaker 6: you know, good souls and all different ages and just
Speaker 6: very welcoming and I don't know, it's it's a blast.
Speaker 1: I think it's great too for your boys to see
Speaker 1: all that.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, I FaceTime the boys today and it was like, hey, Mom,
Speaker 6: how's it going. I'm like doing dishes, and then Rob
Speaker 6: pops over, and then Kelly Hallie and Jeff and then
Speaker 6: it's you know whoever, you know, all these people like
Speaker 6: popping over and my kids know everybody, so that makes
Speaker 6: them happy and they know we're all here together.
Speaker 1: And that's the that's the best. When he got that ed,
Speaker 1: he got people who keep you pretty grounded along the
Speaker 1: way as well. Yeah.
Speaker 6: No, my kids love it and it's just a little
Speaker 6: you know, that's how Mike grew up and that's what
Speaker 6: he wanted. So it's cool to watch. It's a lot
Speaker 6: of fun. They're a little wild animals, you know, but
Speaker 6: it's it's special, and honestly, I feel like a lot
Speaker 6: of kids these days, I don't know, they just don't
Speaker 6: do that. They don't even leave the house essentially. I
Speaker 6: think that like little video gamers, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that there's I would say the I've
Speaker 1: said this on the podcast before and I sometimes get
Speaker 1: a little bit of pushback, but I think that you know,
Speaker 1: you hear about the social media and stuff, and your
Speaker 1: kids are a little bit young yet, but like my
Speaker 1: youngest who's fourteen, excuse me, Jamison is you know, all
Speaker 1: on that stuff. And I always say when he's with me,
Speaker 1: I go or put it away. A backbone is missing
Speaker 1: and parenting, you know, you can take the phone away,
Speaker 1: Yeah you can, you know, you can talk about all
Speaker 1: the influence and all this stuff. And the number one
Speaker 1: thing I would say too, and I think you're doing
Speaker 1: this is a great job with your kids, is self esteem.
Speaker 1: You know, when you believe in yourself and you have
Speaker 1: a better picture for yourself, you're not going to buy
Speaker 1: into all the bullshit that you see online. Easier said
Speaker 1: than done. Not easy, but you know it's stacking wins, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, you get your kids in a hockey team
Speaker 1: and they start feeling good about themselves and they want
Speaker 1: to grow from there, and that's that's how it all is.
Speaker 6: And then your whole life ends, because then you're in
Speaker 6: travel hockey.
Speaker 1: Oh hockey, let's call this. I would say for parents,
Speaker 1: it looks like hockey. Hell, I have a buddy, it
Speaker 1: looks like hockey. Hell. It is year round. It's one
Speaker 1: kid plays for aquinas he plays on a travel league,
Speaker 1: plays for something else. That's just one kid on three Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's got a younger one following up.
Speaker 6: So but you know, it's I feel like the dynamic.
Speaker 6: That's a whole different conversation for a different day. But
Speaker 6: we like them to be involved in sports, in different sports.
Speaker 1: But to me, sports is the greatest thing in the world.
Speaker 1: It's the greatest thing that teaches you. Because meritocracy is
Speaker 1: the greatest thing. You're either good enough or you're not. Yeah.
Speaker 6: And ariotocratic, No, that's actually that literally drives me crazy.
Speaker 1: Yes. Yeah, And I'll tell you what. I don't mind
Speaker 1: if you go. If you got seven year olds and
Speaker 1: you give every kid who showed up to every practice,
Speaker 1: every game, give him a trophy, but please have a
Speaker 1: most Improved in an MVP as well. Please show me
Speaker 1: that there were people that and let's do that. You
Speaker 1: want to give a kid something, that's fine, but let's
Speaker 1: give them something because meritocracy is what sports is really
Speaker 1: built on. It's about being the best, and you can
Speaker 1: improve and you can learn. And nowadays I think kids
Speaker 1: have it easier in that the path has been shown.
Speaker 1: You can get on YouTube and learn how to eat,
Speaker 1: what's the right workout, and follow whoever did it and
Speaker 1: do all that stuff. Yeah, but we're getting off track.
Speaker 1: The party has been fantastic and I really appreciate you.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that you came in and see you
Speaker 1: said to me, you were worried about this, but I
Speaker 1: think it's very easy.
Speaker 6: I got roped right in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she came in and he talked, there was nothing.
Speaker 1: See how easy this was. I guess.
Speaker 6: So it's only because I forced you to do flip
Speaker 6: cup drink my beer, and then I did.
Speaker 1: I was the designated drinker, and I wasn't gonna do
Speaker 1: the flip cup because I don't think. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: fifty two years old. I don't think I've played flip
Speaker 1: cup since I was twenty.
Speaker 6: I am a very bad influence in the sense of like,
Speaker 6: you've been very quiet all weekend and I don't and
Speaker 6: I don't know you very well. But I'm like, that's
Speaker 6: not My guy is over in the corner. He has
Speaker 6: not participated.
Speaker 9: I am just.
Speaker 1: Gonna fucking excuse me. But one of the worst colds
Speaker 1: I've ever had. I know, from last Thursday to Sunday,
Speaker 1: I was just knocked out. They oh god damn. So
Speaker 1: I was building them back and I almost canceled, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I think I can hack it as
Speaker 1: long as people don't mind if I'm coughing there. Because
