Speaker 3: Boy he, Hello and welcome.
Speaker 1: Thanks for getting your pot on. Thanks for telling a friend.
That's how we spread the word about the Fay shit.
Danny's here. Lots of things to talk about, Danny, lots
lots lots lots of things that I have to be
careful because I don't want to go into certain areas.
But there is from the where you and I met?
Where did we meet?
Speaker 3: You and I? Met actually at they're talking about like
the first time ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what business? It was on radio.
Speaker 3: I tell you about the actual event because I can
tell you that.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was.
Speaker 3: So which the RAM fan was hosting this event at
the Harrow East. It was a fifty to fifty show.
It was in January, and it was a fundraiser at
timing us Brown who has a fundraiser three weeks after
Christmas every Ray's Brown Brown. And you and I met
that night, Oh, because Rich invited me. I didn't work
for CMF at the time, and you and I talked
for a while.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's how.
Speaker 3: We actually met.
Speaker 1: O look at that. Yeah. But there's lots of people
that I have met throughout my career. Some I have
admired a lot. And I don't want to get too
deep into this because I don't know all the parameters.
But a guy that I had talked to, I just
came across his phone number in my in my contacts
from radio had a very successful radio show for a
number of number of years. Oh and abruptly left said
show in the fall, just abruptly left Scott up. Just
no more, no more, no no no word no word
as to why anything I had tried to reach out.
There was a lot I think happening in this person's life. Again,
I don't want to get too deep, but Ace David
Ace Cannon is dead. He died. He's fifty six years old.
He died yesterday. Yeah, I saw it was he the
tall guy or the tall guy.
Speaker 3: So you's the guy with the.
Speaker 1: Goatee, yeah, the red hair. Yeah. Oh man, Yeah, I
was a big fan. And and when we were when
I was looking to buy show and own.
Speaker 3: The show, he was the guy you talked to. Yeah,
a lot they weren't They supposed to come up with a
board game, Yeah, like like you you would. We played
it on the show, like name characters of like certain songs.
And at the time, the guy who you used to
work with and four was on the bench. He couldn't speak,
and his producer a Billy to Tory would quietly email
you the hotel we's but here's here's about ten more
songs that you could and we we played the game
and we would give away tickets and he could they
like who was found Uncle Tom's cabin or something like that,
or you know all those those games like that. They
made it too a game.
Speaker 1: Yeah they did. Yeah, they were very, very creative. And
Acid left his show abruptly, and I know that he
had gone through an awful lot. He had was married
and had a couple of kids, divorced, the kids were
in their twenties. Daughter got into a car accident twenty
one and died. Had started Peyton's Promise as a charity.
They were based in Nashal or excuse me, Charlotte, Charlotte,
North Carolina.
Speaker 3: And they used to joke, I wish this it was Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they did all kinds of but they were
syndicated and they owned it and they did all this stuff.
And then I think they were doing afternoons for a while.
I don't know what happened. And then he just left
with no real warning. And then he had remarried. And
here's the thing, fellas, if you get to about my
age and you divorce and you're used to having someone around,
and you find someone and you have a great time,
and they got a lot of energy and things seem
to really click, and there are maybe I don't know,
ten fifteen, twenty years younger than you. Well, you got
a whole new life coming whole new family, and there
are many guys we can all see. I remember my
mother going to the playground with my niece and nephew
and saying to my brother in law, Wow, look at
all these grandfathers with their kids. He goes, No, those
are their kids. Second marriage, Ace two has a one
year old son.
Speaker 2: Wo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but was going through I believe a second divorce
or trying.
Speaker 3: That's the flip side of dating someone ten.
Speaker 1: But had already gone through the divorce right now. A
couple of years now, he you know, lost the daughter,
gets had been remarried. I don't know. I know when
he left. He said, I'm trying to figure things out
and be a better father and be this be that.
I don't know.
Speaker 3: You don't know the cause of death.
Speaker 1: We don't know the cause of death. It's not said. However,
I am going to and I will say this because
maybe somebody else will do it too. Maybe somebody else
will say, hey, I heard Bill Moran talk about doing this,
you should do it first. Bjsha had put on the
UH on social media that the mental health part of
our industry is not looked after, and I can't I
have a problem with that statement. The way it was stated,
and I'm paraphrasing because I don't know that it's it's
that I think that, you know, there are many people
that have a lot going on, but there is something
to in our own mind where you lead a pretty
charmed life. When you're successful in the entertainment industry, even
at the local level, you have a charmed life. I
had memberships to places I never paid for. I had
cars that I never paid for. I had dinners that
I would go, places I would go to bars. Just
that's that's the kind of charm of life. So I
don't know when that goes away, it could be difficult.
I'm not sure that that's the case with these I
don't know. I'm just saying that I think that's what
Bjay's referring to because he himself is out and I
know a little more details than he even knows. I
know about that, but that has nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, there's a lot of avenues I can go
with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. So I'll just leave it there because
I don't know, and I don't want to say anything,
but I'm assuming it may have been.
Speaker 3: Self And I will say this, there was one radio
company I worked for, not the one that you and
I worked for together. You and I worked for at
different times, and I'd a general manager at the you
never worked for. I think you knew her Karen Carrey.
And when I worked at w HM, it was then
clear channel. If somebody had some real issues and it
got around the office, she would actually go to that person.
Speaker 1: She was wonderful.
Speaker 3: She would go, hey, listen, we have counselors for this.
Speaker 1: She was wonderful, and we're like what, Yeah.
Speaker 4: She was like she would offer like help, legitimate help
for you if you if you had that issue, Yeah.
Speaker 1: You could do that through the health insurance. She she
was wonderful.
Speaker 3: She was I think she's a utica.
Speaker 1: Now somebody, uh mistook her for my fiance. Oh wow.
When I was first engaged and walked up to her
and goes and gives her a big hug and she's
standing there like that is.
Speaker 3: I had people. I had a guy the other day, Hey,
tell Billy, I said, hello, I knew he looked at people.
Speaker 1: Don't remember who we watched, sure, but this this was
a person that you know, you didn't know him at
the time, but it was like, uh, you know, walks
up he goes hey and spits out my fiance's name
and leaves in for a giant hugg And I'm just
standing there going not not the person, bro, Oh nothing
did hit. Another person that I admired is somebody that
many people probably aren't familiar with. I don't know if
anybody was familiar with Ace either, but Rich Sliber. I
always see Rich's name wrong. Rich I always admired from Afar.
He was part of Kidocratic Show for a while. Then
he wound up in Boston, and for a long time
he was part of the Toucher and Rich Show in Boston.
They were number one on the Sports Hub. Eventually I
think they were on whatever the rock station was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Boston used to be a big baseball town.
And then when the FMS came in to do sports,
they said, we're going to concentrate on the NFL, and
that's all you're gonna talk about. Wait wait what, We're
not gonna talk about the Red Sox. But it worked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, Rich used to do. Rich did wonderful things.
I found him to be very creative and funny. And
he had another weird thing that happens in readio. He
worked with somebody for a long time. They had different agents.
They decided not to negotiate together. A friend of ours,
who we are, somebody I had known Kevin Carlson from
Carlson McKenzie winds up on the Classic rock station in Boston,
and Kevin recently died. He not Kevin, not Frank, Kevin Carlson. Kevin,
Kevin Carlson died and so as a result, I think
they stopped doing that show. Rich then leaves the Sports
Hub in Boston and goes by himself to ZLX. It's
an owned by a big media company. Might have an
iHeart before the term media. They go through and do
massive layoffs and I want to say, six to nine
months into a show, he doesn't have a show anymore.
Really really really funny and creative. Guy used to do this.
No no, no, no, no, oh no no, no, this
is good. This was okay okay. So Rich would do
things like when he was with the Ki Kratick Show.
They were looking for a bugler at a at a
there were only bugler auditions at the race track in
Dallas for the you know, to start the races. Yeah,
so Rich Rich went out.
Speaker 3: He tried out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they filmed the whole thing, and he's like,
and he does awfully goes hang on, hang on, let
me talk again. It was really funny. Then he did
another bit, one of the ballsyest bits I will tell you.
They used to set it up that somebody was having
I think it was Dallas was in the super Bowl,
so we're going back to like the early nine and
just might have been against the Bills. Well I don't Anyway,
it was Super Bowl, and they would set it up
through the morning show, like if you were hosting the party, Dad,
we would set up you would. I would come in, okay,
and I would have like a secret recorder because they
used to sell pens with a microphone and it. We
would have those for radio and stuff. And Rich would
be that and he'd have cable or something on and
they were set out checking for illegal boxes cable boxes.
So you're going back a couple of years. And what
he would do is walk in and at a peak
moment in the Super Bowl, unplug the TV and then
they'd leave it and then they play the audio back
of the party, but the post of the party was
in on it. But like he almost got like one
guy wanted to punch him at one point and all
this stuff.
Speaker 3: And then how much money I got a big day.
Speaker 1: When they were when they were doing when they were doing, uh,
when they did the Sports Hub in the morning, and
they still the Sports Hub with Toucher does an unbelievable,
unbelievable number for radio in Boston, like really big with men,
like over a twenty share. And Rich used to go
out and they would have the Drunken Boston Red Sox
recap and he would find drunk fans leaving the game
and have him recapped the game. It was really funny
like that kind of stuff. So Rich, who is not
a philiate, socks were terrible. They were effed terrible. Today
Pedro had nothing. So Rich, who uh, I don't believe
has any show right now, went is down at the
super Bowl at the super Bowl and he has asked
some questions at the super Bowl. Oh okay, and he's
on YouTube and it is Rich sliber s C H
L I E B E R. If you'd like to
go check it out. I've been a huge fan of
this guy. I met him briefly once or twice just
from Afar. Very creative, and I will say, uh, there
has been a lot of speculation as to the favoritism
of the refs to the Kansas City Chiefs. Here is Rich. Hey,
it's Rich, and we're here at super Bowl Opening night,
and we got some questions that need to be answered.
Speaker 3: For your whole career, you have had so many great
people help you win. So who is your favorite rend.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah you saw this.
Speaker 3: This is Rich.
Speaker 1: That's Rich. Yeah, that that's him. The guy like help,
that's palsy and don't.
Speaker 3: Sing like, oh my gosh, you really asked, He really asked.
Speaker 1: Here is the fucking balls of steel. And here's the
thing you will run into pompous sports fox that gets
so mad and to two people just popped into my
mind that I knew for a while and had at
my house. They were in my home, that they would
go fucking ape ship if a reporter was if they
were there. And this was the big Oh yeah, the job,
play the game, all right? So you know all the
rest of grade all there. That's so, he asked Patrick.
Then he follows up Patrick with this question, is there
one that you give a Christmas cards you every year?
Speaker 3: Possibly teammates and you kind of figure it out?
Speaker 1: Travis Trap. So Mahomes played along Yeah, he played a lot.
You gotta he did. He gave it some stuff, even
gave it a chuckle in the beginning. And you know
that he's gotta.
Speaker 3: EAT's got a sense of humor, he's he's a good kid.
Speaker 1: Here's Travis and Travis Trecks.
Speaker 3: What do you love more?
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift or Phantom fifteen yard rubbing the passer penalties
in the playoffs. And that's a cute question. Anybody, good
question anybody else, And I think somebody yells out, get
rid of.
Speaker 3: That guy, like some other reporters people it could be whatever,
it could be. Another reporter probably is.
Speaker 1: But that was rich. Now to that end, I will
ask this question. If officiating is so fair, If officiating
is so fair, why does it feel rigged? Why does
it feel that way to many people? Now, here's just
an interesting thing, Danny, as we approach the Super Bowl
with the Kansasity Chiefs on the brink of history making
a three peat never happened in the NFL before. On
February fourth, exactly five days before the Super Bowl. That
was yesterday's Super Bowl fifty nine matchup Eagles and the
Kansas City Chiefs, the NFL referees association released an official
statement blasting these conspiracy theories as quote, insulting and preposterous.
The NFL Network insider Tom Paliso Palisaro shared the full statement. Okay,
now let me just give you the Let's give you
the gist. The quote is this the NFL Referees Associations.
I'm just going to read the beginning of it. The union,
representing all NFL officials, appreciates the NFL Commissioner's comments yesterday
about our members unwavering dedication to fairness and maintaining the
integrity of the game. The press release began before quoting
the NFL are A executive director Scott Green. Now here's
the thing. The NFL Referees Association tried to shut down
the conspiracy about favoritism towards the chiefs. But did they
just confirm everybody's fear by doing it? Aren't you better
off saying nothing? The NFL Commissioner made a statement, he
talked about it. We're done. Then these guys have to
go and open their fucking mouth. And fans have been
calling out suspected favoritism for years. We've seen that, and
the league is basically said, trust us. Did they not yes, yeah, anytime.
Speaker 3: You hear what I like to call convincing language or
Johnny cochrane words in a statement like.
Speaker 1: Preposterous, Yes, it stinks. I'm sorry, it's ridiculous, preposterous. Are
are the refs full time? Now? Are refs full time? No?
Speaker 3: There's a handful that are, okay, so, but most of
them are not. These guys are lawyers, which maybe why
this statement was made, because lawyers like to write statements.
I'll due respect to the ones who have not show,
but that's what that's what lawyers do. Uh doctors. These
are people whom are vetted by the National Football League
just to avoid this problem altogether. In other words, you
have a lot.
Speaker 1: To lose, Okay, but my point is they do. There
are some that are full time refs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like a handful.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's not so. We have full time refs. We
have better technology, and there's so much money in play.
This is why I keep saying that you've got to
do a better job. You're going to see more things
being called and I think it's going to be tighter
on the NFL specifically, because it's harder at times. I e. Example,
the Bills Chiefs first down call whether they got it
or not. I can't sit here and say they absolutely did.
I can't. But I also can't sit here and absolutely
say they didn't. So I think for Betters, they're really
going to be trying to do that, because the thing is,
why are we still seeing game changing blown calls?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: Here, he's got full times technology and still game changing.
Speaker 3: I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
Speaker 1: Bill.
Speaker 3: I know that I get painted as one this show,
but I'm really not.
Speaker 1: Who would ever paint you as that? Damn they make
it that up.
Speaker 3: TV twelve ounce man. Okay, but here's the thing. Yeah,
earlier this year, I was experimenting with AI to pick
football games, just to see what would happen. Really, Yes,
and I wrote a call or an article for the
Times of Wayne County. How the AI feels about the
Super Bowl? Okay, it's gonna run Saturday. I went, I
ran my I ran the question who will win the
Super Bowl to? I asked co pilot, which is Microsoft?
I asked chat GPT which and I asked what was
the third one?
Speaker 1: Claude No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: I didn't ask Claude Gemini, which is Google?
Speaker 1: Okay, I asked those, right.
Speaker 3: I didn't ask anybody else. I don't have Apple, I'm
not an Apple guy. And they gave me three different answers.
Chat GPT actually ran simulations for me cem and I
wouldn't go that far, and copilots like what do you
think you know? So you could tell by who's pulling
the strings to what as to how the question should
be asked, because of course they're gonna be asked everything.
It's it's it's you know AI And hey, I could
get stuff wrong too, like that's how many sports questions
that you know and then get the answer wrong, So
it's not it's not foolproof. Right. Earlier this year, I
asked who was going to win a game between the
Saints and Washington, and it said that the New Orleans
Saints won the game, or sorry, that the New Orleans
Saints won the game twenty seven to twenty one or
something like that. And look at the spread, the spread
six and a half points, Washington laying the six and
a half giving that to the Saints. Right in that game,
Washington's got its back to the end zone, the Saints
are driving, and the clock mysteriously stops with six seconds left,
and nobody knows why because nobody, I mean the official
single for a time, but there was no reason to
call a time out. They end up getting in the
end zone, they go for two, but they miss. Washington
hangs on, but with the spread, the score was covering
the spread. So anybody who bet on Washington to cover
the spread lost the game because because New Orleans was
given that extra time to get then get in the
end zone, the going for two is irrelevant. But the
point is, like the chat GPT, you know or did
one of these know what was going on beforehand? So
what it does is it pulls like predictions from people
from everywhere. That's what it does. But the point is, though,
is that it does make you wonder. And Mike Florio
brought up an idea that's not a new one. It's
from the UFL, and I think Matt reesis discussed it
on the show. If you watch a UFL game in
a couple of weeks and then the UFL comes back,
or when it does come back NFL, the former head
of officiating, Dean Blandino, is running live replay for every
single game, so when they have to challenge a call,
he goes okay, guys, here's the here's here's the play
on the monitor. Let's review it, and he will go
in real time and review the call, and he will
determine whether or not that play should be upheld or
it should be reversed. The call should be reversed. Why
can't the NFL do that just for the sake of avoiding.
Speaker 1: Heard Patrick Mahomes. I don't think that's they are fed
up these accusations.
Speaker 3: Oh, Kelsey's got like no personality. He's a total phony.
But at least Patrick played along.
Speaker 1: But does the NFL's handling of this make their dynasty
look suspect? Would people only when people watchitiating? Didn't look so?
Speaker 3: Only when people stop watching and playing in gambling. Here's
the other thing too, The NFL is in bed with
the gamblers. The NFL has the owners had money in
draft kicks Fanta, so now they're they're controlling the springs
strings on both sides. Here's what's gonna happen. Somebody like
Trump's gonna get ticked off and he's gonna issue an
executive order.
Speaker 4: I want a full investigation, and they want to avoid that.
The NFL wants to avoid that. But the NFL has
had cases like this before. And the NFL's argument, and
this is the scary part.
Speaker 3: You can look this up. The NFL's argument for their
lawyers zones, we're just entertainment man.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, that's pro Russia. So that that's my that's
my question. But if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl
and they do something nobody else has ever done in history,
is their legacy forever tainted? No, Okay, people will forget
if they lose the Super Bowl? Will it just add
fuel to the fire wanted to chat champion.
Speaker 3: People will be so excited they would even care. By
the way, by the way, you heard it here first,
Philly's gonna win that game.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's my thing. Are we witnessing to your point,
the evolution of sports entertainment where narratives drive the product?
Or does the NFL have bad PR And that's what
I'm hoping it is. I'm hoping it's bad PR. I'm
hoping that the ref's egos got in the way and
they decide to release a statement that was not necessary
and actually looks more accusatory than it.
Speaker 3: You know, if the NFL has always had bad prs,
never stop people from watching him everybody hates the commissioner, right,
everybody hates the commissioner in every single league. Do you
realize that the NFL, when Roger Goodell was hired and
he took over for Paul Taglibu, the knock on tag
Labou always was he's milk toast. He doesn't take a stand,
he doesn't punish athletes, so he walks in walks Goodell,
I'm the new sheriff in town James down, New York's own.
And he started suspending pretty much after Cincinnati Bengals roster
for stupid stuff. Remember that like the Bengals the orange
they were prison uniforms. That was the big joke he got.
He got plotted for it. Then the Adrian Peterson incident happens,
and then you had the incident with the running back
from the Ravens. There, I'm blanking out here to Lewis, right,
and then the video comes out and then not Ray
lewis the other one. Yeah, forgetting I'm blanket out. But
the point that kid from Rutgers. But the point is
is that then when the video came out, then it
became a six game suspension and he was pretty much
toasted for soda non Grode. Now, the NFL Cadell is
not a good he's not a good commissioner anymore. But
that's never stopped people from watching and betting on football.
Speaker 1: And that's all it is. It is out of money.
But it does make you start to think that.
Speaker 3: It's the most watched television show in America. And there's
nothing even close.
Speaker 1: Not anymore, nothing close, nothing, nothing close. All right, we'll
take a moment the dogs you're here, we will find
out what they're up to this coming weekend.
Speaker 3: And today is Rice was the guy right?
Speaker 1: That's right. We have a very uh special day today
that I can't wait to tell you about, and a
day that you will not believe how historic, how historic
it is. We'll get to all that right after this. Well, hello,
my chicken wing lovers and food fanatics. I want to
tell you about a gem right in the heart of Webster,
Cobblestone on Maine at one o nine West Main Street.
We've been talking about them since the inception of the podcast.
This isn't just another restaurant. It's not. It's a flavored
destination that has everybody talking. We're talking about mouth watering
dishes like they're grilled salt and pepper, pork chop with
blue cheese and crispy Brussels sprouts, topped with a tantalizing tomato,
bacon chutney and balsamic glaze. Doesn't that sound amazing? There's more.
If you've got a chicken wing expert in your family,
and we mean true connoisseur, they're going to be in heaven.
My fourteen year old son swears these are some of
the best wings in town. And the best part these
dishes are perfect for sharing. So gather your friends, bring
your appetite, and experience the deliciousness that is Cobblestone Unmade,
located at one online West Main Street in the village
of Webster, where incredible flavors meet unforgettable dime.
Speaker 3: Gather around, y'all.
Speaker 1: It's that time of year, National park Day. Let me
make it clear.
Speaker 5: From ancient rome riding down ride here, we'll celebrate the sound.
Speaker 3: We all hold dear.
Speaker 1: Back in forty four BC, a soldier soul mold exposes
backside the tail now told.
Speaker 5: During passover, he let it unfold, ride and started with
wind that road.
Speaker 1: Little country, a little country. Today Today is National fart Day. Wow,
and I just want you to know that from a
historic part a Roman soldier. This is true. You can
look it up. Forty four BC bent Over dropped its
drawers and passed gas toward Jewish people celebrating Passover, and
then said some derogatory things, and a riot broke out
and they started throwing rocks. Ten thousand people died. Yeah
from that for real over.
Speaker 3: Afart, you don't mess with pass started with a part.
Speaker 1: And then then there was Henry Ludlow who farted during
a debate at British Parliament. And there was a poem
called the Center of the Parliament Fart. That was in
sixteen oh seven. In seventeen eighty one, Benjamin Franklin wrote
an essay called fart Proudly. He wanted to know a
sense asparagus could make your he smell funny, Why couldn't
we find something to make our fart smell better? Uh?
Speaker 3: Then there was this guy necessity is the mother of
an invention.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they went so far as at Mulin
Rouge there was a guy who could basically suck in
air through his anus and then blow it out. He
would blow out candles. He he made more money than
most people performing over and then let me just say this,
this is true. You can look it up to World
War two hit the pedal of the bulge Hitler. Hitler
had a had a vegetarian diet. Yeah, he was a vegetarian,
and they he went to his scientists and said, is
there anything you can do? Because I have terrible gas
and all this stuff. So they started giving they started
giving them pills for real, and they would put very
very trace amounts of cyanide and another poison in there
because it would help settle his stomach and it kind
of balance things out.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: The problem is that according to history books that I've read,
and I remember this from college, he was taking about
one hundred and fifty a day, and there are those
that believe that because of that, and it was trace
amounts in each pill. But now we've got a large
amount that was adding to his instability. Whether or not
that's true, I could, but I don't know. But that
was always the speculation. And then the longest part the
Guinness Book of World Records is two minutes and forty
two seconds. Wow, I know that.
Speaker 3: Absurd.
Speaker 6: I can't wait to go home and tell my family.
Speaker 1: Well, but hang on, see, like we can talk about farts,
and we could think, wow, really base, really base humor.
But you got historical facts. And here's the problem with
history that they teach us in school. They were people,
they were people, and all we get are the Instagram highlights.
I want the dirty I want I want the real
shit that went on, you know what I'm saying. I want, yes,
literally sure, I want.
Speaker 3: The real stuff that will doc I document.
Speaker 1: I want the documentary. I want to know all that stuff.
And then in two thousand and eight National Fart Day
was born.
Speaker 3: Wow, just this is the first time hearing February fifth.
Speaker 7: Thank you see huh Ben frank you said, Ben Franklin. Yeah,
I could see Ben Franklin as a guy who would
have that problem.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, don't know why. Well, you saw Ben Franklin.
And it was always amazing because Ben Franklin was very
popular with the ladies in France. I see, yeah, like
he was. Yeah, he had very very interesting syphilis and
all kinds of things. He would go to France and yeah,
he was like an ambassador. And those are the best
parts of history when you could actually learn that stuff.
Speaker 3: By the way, like, do you realize how much older
Ben Franklin was than the other founding fathers. The other
founding fathers were like in their like twenties in early thirties.
He was like in his fifties. He was way older.
He was like the grandfather of the rule.
Speaker 7: That's almost the end of the lineback then it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he went to seventy suits.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, maybe eighties and the Sopranos.
They even think he was a president. I'm not joking.
There's a lie where a big pussy goes, but President
Franklin's in that staff.
Speaker 1: The dogs are here. There's a big event to help
out our friends at Autism Up. It's Friday Night at Nashville's. Correct.
Speaker 7: Oh thank god, Yeah, no, you would have gone no
it said this this year I called a really fun
event with them at Nashville's last year. Have a great
relationship with with Jeff and team at Nashville's.
Speaker 3: Jeff's a great guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: This precreatament event, though, is at where we also have
an awesome relationship with the owner. And that's Date Buns
at Bunce's.
Speaker 1: So oh, thank you. Okay, another great America.
Speaker 7: The other thing, just to get this out is that
not only is it a great location and a great
organization that we're partnering with. But this is a happy
hour show, so you know, it's a six to nine show. Yeah,
that's great if you know, if you want to get
in and get out, or you got somebody else you
want to see later in the night, you.
Speaker 1: See with us. Here's what I feel bad about. Followed
up a lot asked me if I could do it,
and then I find out that there is a makeup
basketball game from my son and it's the last one
for him to play because he's going back to see
his mom over winter break and he won't be here
for the Valentine's Day game on Friday the fourteenth, So
this is it. And I'm like I I yeah, I
felt terrible.
Speaker 7: But you know, as they say, the show must go on.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, you're gonna get Dave behind the drum kit.
He used to play drums.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3: We usually to raise some money to get him back
behind the kit.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 6: He comes back there every once in a while.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he does.
Speaker 7: He loves going back there. He'll make it seem like
it's a hassle, but he yea, I can't.
Speaker 3: I gotta cook. I gotta cook.
Speaker 1: All right, what song.
Speaker 3: We will rock here?
Speaker 7: Yeah, awesome, so supportive. Honestly, well, that's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: It's always fun, I gotta tell you. Like I was
so impressed when I saw the Dogs last year, Like
how just the energy, the outfits that come out in
how you get that and then you change there's sometimes there. Yeah,
I mean there was a it's a change, yes, I
mean yeah, but there was a lot of energy, interactive,
big screens.
Speaker 3: I was like, man, this is something that thanks to
you guys, Men's warehouse is still open. Its blue tuxedos
with the ruffles. You don't get those anymore.
Speaker 7: That's the thing though, I mean, uh, it's meant to
be entertaining, right, Like you know, we're not going to
impress anybody with with our habitasherie.
Speaker 3: I guess is that right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, but it's meant to be fun. So yes, yeah,
matching outfits and the screens and all that.
Speaker 1: This is a great way to kick off your Friday night,
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, and then help out Autism
Up as well, which is a great organization in the
community that has done such great work. And it's funny
to watch. Not funny, but it's interesting to have watched
them grown over the years. It was four moms having coffee,
just trying to figure out how can they help their
kids and how difficult it was, and they were sort
of leaning on each other. And out of that came
something where they offer social skills and all kinds of
really really great things that help support, support and support
the fans and support even the siblings.
Speaker 3: Of Now it's like one in the thirty three kids.
When you and I were growing up, it was maybe
one in a thousand. Now it's one in thirty times.
Speaker 7: Is that a diagnosis thing or is that really a
problem growing?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. That's a great question
because I can think back and go, there are a
couple of kids I would have thought that were on
the spectrum that we would have said.
Speaker 4: Well, I remember like watching the NFL on Sundays and
Dan Marino's on there, Yeah.
Speaker 3: And the unight Away had these commercials. He goes, we
found out our son was autistic, And I go, Dad,
that's great, is it he's artistic? And he goes, no,
that's it's that's not what that means autistic. I go,
what does that mean?
Speaker 4: And my father is like, I can't really explain it, yeah,
because I don't know, it's hard to explain, but he
goes and then.
Speaker 3: Doug Flutie's son. Yeah, So those are the first two
people I ever knew. And we're talking like from like
eighty seven to like when he came to the Bills.
We're talking like ninety eight ninety nine. The first two
people I ever knew whoever had autism, and they were
both quarterbacks sons. And then all of a sudden, the
sentry flips and now it's everywhere. Yeah, like my nephew
was diagnosed with it at one point, hits something else,
Bills your son. I mean, so, I mean it became
a bigger thing.
Speaker 7: I think though, you know, and you in a much
better position than I am to talk about this, but
I wonder if organizations like Autism Up have helped to
bring folks, you know, work with students and brought them
into the community, so maybe you're aware of them.
Speaker 1: I think. I think that's a big part of it,
for sure. And I think also that there's more mainstreaming
of kids who don't forget it's a spectrum, so you'll
get you know, nonverbal kids who you probably didn't see
as much in public schools as you do today, just
for the inclusion and stuff. And so we've become more
accepting and try to include that. There's a lot of
great things that are going on that I have a
friend who is the head of the psychology department over
at Saint John Fisher University, and he would say that autism,
he wonders, is if it's evolution, you know, to the
point because you look at it like Elon Musk will
tell you that he was diagnosed with Aspergers. Aspergers is
no longer recognized by the they're not, but it is
certainly something that socially and awkward and yet maybe a
hyper focused in one area and you're a genius at
that area. Right. We used to call them savants, right,
people like that. And so I don't know that it
hasn't always been present, and we've just put it under
a spotlight. And then maybe there is a little bit
more as well.
Speaker 3: You know, is there a reason they've done away with
Aspergers as a diagnosis? Was it like insulting?
Speaker 1: No, it was DMS five. I don't know. I don't
know why.
Speaker 3: I just found out today that Kurt Schilling has a
form of Aspergers. Probably Bill Gates is a form of aspergers.
So now it's like Waite.
Speaker 1: Well, but once they did it, people were saying that
for years with Bill Gates. So that's what I'm saying.
It's like, there's it's always sort of been here. Now
we just are hyper.
Speaker 3: My family thinks I haven't. I'm not joking, like I'm
not making that up.
Speaker 1: My family has like I could see them.
Speaker 3: You know, this got deep my wife.
Speaker 7: Red suits and jumping around doing YMCA in this conversation.
Speaker 1: Well no, but I mean it's it's a great thing.
And my point is you people to come to your show.
But a lot of times, you know, you go, why
is my kid doing this? Or why and you can't
figure it out, and you know, it's trying to put
that round peg in a square hole, the square peg
in the round hole type thing. And I think for
other parents to know, hey man, there's there's stuff here
we can learn and accept and grow and and realize that.
You know, sometimes too we go I'll say this, I
don't I don't know that it's autism up that does this.
But you can go too far to trying to help
help help where you know you're giving the kid all
these supports and that it's not really helping the kid, right,
And sometimes you got to figure You got to figure
things out on your own, you know. Like my son
who was Asperger's uh lives by himself in New York City,
loves it, loves it. Why that was his dream to
live in New York City. He saved up his money,
he went down there, he did the interviews. He was
a waiter, which was really tough in the beginning because
of social skills all that stuff. But if he didn't
push it right and a lot of times you gotta
do it. That That to me is what real self
esteem is, right, Real self esteem is I did it,
and now I'm gonna push myself further. And I did it,
and I did it. I did it. And we talk
about self esteem with kids, and it's really important with
kids on the spectrum, like how do I get them.
I substitute teach once in a while and I have
I see kids and that are pretty far on the
spectrum and they'll talk about I hate school, I hate Peter.
And then you work with them and once they feel
like they got it. Whatever the task was for the
day that and I go, it's not just kids, it's everybody, right,
it's everybody. Once you once you start lifting weight, you
dry or you're trying to lose weight, and you lose
the five pounds and then all of a sudden, there's ten.
You go, damn, I'm gonna look so hot on the
beaches summer baby.
Speaker 3: Whoa.
Speaker 1: But it's just exactly it's a momentum, and he keeps pushing.
And I think that's some of the stuff that autism
up does. And I think it's awesome that you guys
are willing to volunteer your time and play and help
them raise money.
Speaker 7: You know that you bring up a really good point though,
in terms of helping raise awareness. Right, So at the
end of the night, we'll sit down and we'll count
out some money we made, you know, donation, a door
fifty to fifty, maybe a raffle here or there, we'll
sell a couple of dog shirts, whatever. It all goes
in the pile. Right, there's some money there. But I
think the thing that that we've learned over the years
is that you know, it's sort of one is fundraising,
one A is helping them raise awareness. So we come
into bunt sees people might not have any idea what
autism up is. Yes, you know, and now you know
to your point, there's there's there's a you know, there's
a service or an organization. Yes, it's doing what they're doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I will also say a lot of times
these organizations are so kind of focused on their cause, right,
trying to run this organization or the nonprofit and make
sure scheduling is done and all the administrative stuff. They're
not fundraisers. They're not people who do that stuff. So
to have a band that can come in and just
kind of go boom, Yeah, that's uh, that's that's makes
it really work. And that's what I think makes it fun, right,
because some of these events they can get they can
get kind of dry. Get dry. Try not to be
You're not try, That's what I'm saying. But if without it,
sometimes it gets dry. And so when you get up
there and all of a sudden, man, it's like, huh,
it's like a breath of fresh air.
Speaker 6: It's like we've talked about that in the past two
where we said, you know, it's not only a fundraiser
for the cause. You know, it's not only bringing awareness
to that cause, but it's also giving those people the
opportunity to have a reprieve from what they're dealing with
every day, and hey, we're gonna have a good time,
we're gonna have fun, we're gonna be silly, and you know,
join us here.
Speaker 1: Let me just take that one step further. Boy, No, no, no,
because I I think you said something really important. There
are many times that the parents of children on the
spectrum in particular, and I don't know anything else, maybe
it's someone living with cancer and doing all that stuff
that they need a reprieve and a break, and yet
the guilt you feel. So when you can get dressed
up and go out and it's for autism up or whatever,
you don't feel as guilty and you can kind of
let your hair down. And socialization is extremely important for everybody.
And I remember people saying a lot of times that
you know, we would call someone selfish, but if you're
not taking care of yourself, how are you going to
take care of that kid that needs you? Right? So
I think that that's a really, really good thing that
you're saying. And I do think there's guilt from the
parents' side of it. It's like, you know, or one
parent's got to stay home, one can go, no, go,
have a great time, and everything's going to be okay.
It's all gonna work out, and the dogs are gonna
make you forget, you know, right, a little forget.
Speaker 3: I know a guy. I know a guy who who
emceed an Autism Up event to miss my first wedding,
and who won that one? He did. You're looking at
Bill Murray right over here.
Speaker 7: Congratulations.
Speaker 3: He calls me up at like twelve thirty an the other Hey, Bill,
it's gone, buddy. You're sitting down. Yeah, I'm sleeping. What's up? Hey,
I'm gonna have to miss your wedding. I apologize Jenny's
scheduled need to no, no, no, no, this is back like
twenty fourteen. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, daddy. I didn't know.
You guys end up being the winners. So if you,
if you, if you want to get out of doing
something you don't want to do, like go to somebody's
first wedding, go to the Autism Up event with the
dogs on Friday night and have fun. Yeah fun, I
get rid of the guilt, Get rid.
Speaker 1: Of the guilt.
Speaker 7: Yeah sure, If nothing else. I think they leave it
at the door. You've a right you check it out.
You've seen this right. One of the if, if nothing else,
of the things we try to do is lay on
you a good time, right, And you know we're not.
We've got some amazing musicians in this.
Speaker 1: Band, you do.
Speaker 7: But really, what's more than that is trying to impart.
You know the party atmosphere, right, and you know whether
it's the goofy suits or matching hockey jerseys.
Speaker 1: Or it's I love it though, it's it's beats.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, you walk it in, you see the bait. Okay,
you smile, Yeah, everybody smiles. Okay, all right, I can relax,
I can let my hair, my heir down.
Speaker 1: I always say, if you have to go for the
better feeling thought right in a moment. Sometimes the better
feeling thought is anger over despair. But it's a better
feeling thought right, or revenge over something right, And you
can have that, and I go when you walk in.
Sometimes you guys change the energy in a room, like
you really do. You make it. You make it fun.
It is it just and so you can't be you
can't be in a bad mood. It melts off you.
Now you might walk outside and pick it up again.
I'm not saying that, but for the little while that
you're in there, you can't help it. You know, the
music's great, you want to get out and dance a
little bit, go let your hair down.
Speaker 7: Two things? Yes, can we can we take a second
and just like give you guys the landscape. Who wasn't
isn't in the room tonight? The rest of the band. Yeah, okay,
go ahead. You want to take the honors and talk
about the rest of the clowns.

out you know community people you know? Yeah, people you
know right.
Speaker 3: Dere one degree removed from your neighbor.
Speaker 1: Could be anybody. But it's a it's a it's a
great thing. Uh. We will take a moment you're feel
free to to stick around.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: I have some more things for Danny, including if survival
Dan got real people?
Speaker 3: You know they eat each other?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no grocery stores, no takeout. Could you bring
yourself to eat a beaver? And I don't mean yeah,
I know what you're yeah, I mean the animal. I
mean yeah, I mean the actual animal. Could you do it?
They're trying to pass the law in a state to
make it not possible. We'll get to all that right
after this Leo's Nose. Family life can become incredibly busy.
That's why they have to go food. It's perfect for
quick and easy meals from Leo's cafe or deli like
Leo's all homemade Keisha's Chicken pop Pie, one of my
favorites Shepherd's Pie plus spaghetti and Meatball's Turkey Dinner, Chicken
Palm and so much more. So easy for anybody to
grab pop on a plate, put in the oven, put
it in the microwave, or use the air fryer. Either
way it's gonna be delicious, pre packed and ready for
you to grab and go for your next meal from Leo's.
Plus remember fresh baked two dollars French bread and Italian
bread all day er day. What's the best thing about
Leo's Everything on Deskmats Drive in East Rochester open every day.
Speaker 3: I can name that song in one second.
Speaker 1: I know you can love.
Speaker 3: I to hear the sound, watch the lightning and it
lights up the stahigh This Eddie Rabbit. Yeahs. Their father
used to sing this out then, but it Sunday morning.
Speaker 4: Shirt off, great chest, hair hanging out, mustache, no mustache.
Speaker 3: Harris is great hair dryer.
Speaker 1: Did I not say this is gonna take you back
to your childhood? I knew it.
Speaker 3: I don't know what this is.
Speaker 1: Eighty flair it's the seven is like eighty okay, eighty,
It's right on the nuts, lady night. Eddie Rabbit underrated?
Speaker 3: Yeah, in my opinion, he was I think away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah he did pass away and I don't remember
what I will look that up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they used to play us on the country station,
even though I don't know that this is a country song.
It's got country undertones.
Speaker 1: Pop. Yes. May seventh, nineteen ninety eighth man, dude's been
dead a long time. Yeah, the rabbit got run over.
Well that's the thing. So I asked the question, if
if survival got real, no grocery stores, no takeout, could
you bring yourself to eat a beaver? And the reason
I say this is because they're trying to make a law.
I guess in Minnesota, and I would go down to
the Irondoquoi Creek here and I'd be white walking with
my kids and you would see, like beavers and beavers
can be a nuisance. Now one they're a rodent. And
when I say a nuisance is they can build a dam,
because that's just what they do. I don't, I mean
talk about the weirdest fucking thing. But if you if
you don't believe in something higher, right, that there's this
animal that you know helps the forest really like gets
the trees. You can walk down along the quick creek
and you will see not out trees, just down to
like you could push it over like it's it's a
toothpick hole in it there and probably they heard something
and got scared. But they'll build dams and then it floods.
It can flood at times, and that that's really problematic.
So in uh Minnesota they have a nuisance beaver ban
right now.
Speaker 3: So you their rivals with Gophers, because Minnesota, the University
of Minnesota is the Gophers. The mascot's the Gophers. Yes,
so I wonder if there's some some territorial rift going on.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
Speaker 3: And you have to know the vikings. I mean, there's
a lot going on there.
Speaker 1: And of course it's it's funny to say eat a beaver.
But here's my thing. The you are allowed if it's
a nuisance beaver, you are allowed to kill it on
your property. It's okay as long as there's a nuisance.
So if there's an overrun like they have this, well
they at all. But they have the bait and shoot
for deer around here right if you so they have that.
Speaker 3: He is at you again.
Speaker 4: So I told you the first time, a verbal warning,
then a written warning and the.
Speaker 3: Third time you get shot.
Speaker 1: Homeowners can still trap or kill beaver's damaging their property,
but with this new law, they cannot eat them.
Speaker 3: They cannot eat them those Blue states.
Speaker 1: Uh. Trapping otherwise during the designated season remains legal. So
there is a hunting season for beaver. Hey, son, it's
beaver season. We're going out, so you can go out.
Speaker 3: Get George jacket. We'll pulled you out of school. It's Wednesday, it's.
Speaker 1: Beaver season, and so we're uh yeah, so you can
go and hunt beaver and those you can eat. Son. Okay,
you got your first beaver's put our face right in there,
and uh okay, you.
Speaker 3: Know what, I want to stuff this one. We get
a second one. We still have time.
Speaker 1: Do you realize at a single beaver over its lifetime
can eat like a hundred trees or kill or cut
down one hundred trees? You know what?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 3: It's funny. I do believe that because I was told
growing up that every year we get a tree and
a half of junk mail in our mail box. A
tree and a half.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a single beaver can cut down hundreds of trees annually,
is what I'm saying. Causing deforestation and flooding at times
about help with the.
Speaker 3: Paper mills, though, where's the positives?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I if the beavers are cutting down the trees,
I don't have to do it. I can show up.
I can just basically grab the tree. Yeah yeah, right,
but the.
Speaker 3: Clock back out of fighting. I did my job.
Speaker 1: Minnesota trappers removed twenty to thirty thousand beavers each year.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm sure they have a good reason.
Speaker 1: You know what it used to be. What are you
gonna do for it? I'm gonna fuck like a rabbit.
Now they're fucking like beavers in Minnesota. That's the thing.
So this senator questioned the logic behind banning the eating
of nuisance beavers. All right, and this other guy goes, well,
there's parasites and lack of research on beaver meat safety.
And by the way, beavers are considered roaded.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't want to eat a roaded They don't
want to eat a road I was just reading about
this in Deuteronomy this week. Yeah, they listened to a
bunch of animals. I didn't see the beaver, but I
did see the hair.
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's a rabbit, right, I mean, let's be
let's be fair here.
Speaker 3: I think Beaver's probably on the list. I don't think
they saw those in Jerusalem, but let's assume it is.
Speaker 1: So let's ask this question then, gourmet or gross?
Speaker 3: Gross?
Speaker 1: Gross?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Gross. I hate to those who have tried it. They
compare it to what do you think steak? Yeah, beef? Well,
I was waiting for you to say chicken, because a
lot of people always say chicken.
Speaker 3: But my wife recently tried frog legs, and I was
it tastes like trick because actually, yeah, but a dryer chicken,
a dryer chicken. I'm like, oh, okay, so kind of
like the Christmas vacation dinner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I were drunk at dinner and I got
frog legs, I would put it together. It's just so juvenile,
it's so dumb, and yet I would have been so
entertained by me. And this is why I'm no longer married.
Speaker 3: Someone at the table across is that tabula over there?
For time used to laugh at his own stuff, but
it was always funny. That's why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, somebody else says it's nature's chicken nuggets. Beaver.
Speaker 3: Huh, All right, well, look, I mean it from the
wild right. They always say, if you're gonna eat stick
the stuff, that's one ingredient.
Speaker 1: I think last night something came up and I thought
they used beaver gland in certain things like surprised you
read something and it's like whatever it's called. Something else?
Speaker 3: Was that the stuff that Ray Lewis was out during
the Super Bowl? Everybody stopped the Super Bowl. One hit
of this be a little bench five hundred pounds will Yeah.
Speaker 1: This other guy, who is a local newscaster in Minnesota,
says it's gamy, but not terrible. Some say the tail
of a beaver, when cooked correctly, tastes like bacon.
Speaker 3: Don Elhart News Source thirteen. It's gamy there, Doug.
Speaker 1: I would never even think to eat the tail.
Speaker 3: Well, I would think that's the first thing you'd eat
because it's already flat. You can make a beaver burger.
To me, it's like you get the cook cutter out bag.
It's like one stop shopping. Whereas the rest of the beaver.
You gotta like the claw it you gotta like, you know.
Speaker 1: What are you in for beaver? So this guy wants
to remove so Debay continues, here's the question this is
and I'm dead serious. Should the government really be telling
you what you can't eat in nature? I get certain
foods the FDA, I understand. But even if it's a rodent,
if you're killing it. Look, what's the grossest thing you've
ever eaten that you know of? Like, and I say gross,
it's subjective, most exactly exotic thing that you've ever got,
the most exotic.
Speaker 3: I ate octopus a few times and people looked at
me like I was nuts.
Speaker 1: Well octopuses, I mean, yeah, this was actual octopus. Yes, yes,
different people.
Speaker 3: Like you're crazy, like crazy, it's on the menu.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great, okay, little chewi, Yes it is.
Speaker 3: I think it was more like the texture than the
taste so much, you know, but you put a little
salt on that pretty good.
Speaker 1: Did you ever eat something and find out later, Like
I remember being somewhere and my dad loaded up on chili.
There's the greatest chili ever, And somebody goes, oh, it's
venice and chili. My father practically fucking he was like,
oh volcanic.
Speaker 3: Well, there are a lot of Jewish kids who grew
up they went to a friend's house and they their
mothers found out that they had lunch. What did you
eat a ham sandwich? And their mother would like literally
wash their mouths out with soap because ham is a
koshera you know that's not I mean, that's not an
uncommon thig. I've never really eat I'm a very I
was very fickle eater. Oh, like I didn't eat fruit
twenty five.
Speaker 1: I have a funny feeling that you were on what
I called when the boys were little, the beige diet,
anything that was beige. So it would be things like
chicken nuggets, French fries, rice, chicken rice, yeah, bait. The
beige diet is what I called it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah. My father goes, no, if you don't want to eat,
then that's all you're gonna get. Yes, so you got
you got a choice, right, And sometimes I would choose
to stave myself. You would not not really, but but
like when it came to fruit though, I avoided fruit.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know why I hated barbecue. Now I love barbecue, but.
Speaker 4: When I was a kid, I hated. They say you
lose taste buds over time. I don't know about losing
them as like like three thousands in your mouth. There's
thousands in your mouth. When you're young, and then when
you get older.
Speaker 3: You get like less than one hundred.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's why you you acquire more taste because
you're just not tasted.
Speaker 1: I thought it was every seven years your body good bait, maltz.
Speaker 3: I'm sure they'll come up with a new scientific method
now the Trump's in office that will tell us something different.
Speaker 1: Okay, rabbit would be a tough one for me.
Speaker 3: I couldn't eat.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, you go into.
Speaker 3: Uh I'm ready.
Speaker 1: I mean other than that Europe, they're hanging right in
the butcher shop full rabbit dead its feet. Okay, yeah,
you don't see that. That's called Tuesday snake. I don't know.
If I couldn't do it, I might be able to
eat snakes.
Speaker 3: See I was told I don't know if this is true.
Maybe you know the answer to this that you can
eat eggs of any animal if you're starving any animal.
If you see eggs, they're always safe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would think that's true.
Speaker 3: It's when they hatch all bets are off.
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's you don't want to get there and
have have them developed. You want to get them early.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you want to get them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to get them before they're fertilized and
things are going right.
Speaker 3: But holy cow, but yeah, the grossest thing I've ever eaten,
I I don't. I don't think I've eaten anything. If
I do, If I did, I don't know what it was.
Speaker 1: I've had ostrich good Okay, Yeah, I didn't mind that
sort of sword fish is not odd, but I enjoy that.
Speaker 3: My father said he used to love when he was
Catholic growing up, either Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve,
my grandmother would make eel sauce. He loved eel. It
was one time a year they got to have eel sauce.
They couldn't have meat sauce because the Catholics change the
rules every fifteen minutes, so like they didn't. He looked
forward to it. It was very zesty, he said, I've never
had eel sauce, but I've eaten eel with sushi.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I don't know. Yeah, I think I've
had an eel too. Super Bowl snacks coming up.
Speaker 3: My wife's asking me, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh, so I was looking at like menu, if you
were to do strictly game meaning beaver okay, right, Buffalo
wild turkey cheese dip. I could do that.
Speaker 3: I could do that.
Speaker 1: I could do buffalo wild turkey cheese dip.
Speaker 3: The wild turkey the animal or wild turkey the drink.
Speaker 1: No, wild turkey the animal, okay, because some people do
mixed you know, you know, whiskey and put the wild
turkey in the wild turkey.
Speaker 3: I mean I know Italians who like put half the
bottle of wine and their stomach and the other half
in the sauce. The way is it weird in church
when I see guys with mustaches and wondering if they
could speak Italian? I al'st want to walk up to
do you know you can speak Italian?
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the autism coming out.
Speaker 3: I think you're right.
Speaker 1: H smoked venison on wick, I.
Speaker 3: Could do it.
Speaker 1: Yep, me too.
Speaker 3: I love venison. I think I don't get to eat it.
So because where are you gonna buy it? It's always
you always have to know a guy with venison. Yeah,
you can't just go into a store and buy venison.
Speaker 1: No you can't. Now, my old neighbor would do it,
and then he'd bring it to I'm gonna say probably
the wrong thing. I think it was. I was gonna
say rendering, but it's probably not. It's probably a butcher.
And they would he laughed at say they would get
slim gyms made like basically you had cheese and her
I ate like a pound of this one day. It
was so good it didn't taste like venison, snapping it
and all that. Then, uh, burgers. I've had venison burgers,
but venison on wick right, if you did that with
the gravy, the aju sauce.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Venison's tasty.
Speaker 1: It can be, can be a little gamy at time.
Speaker 3: It can be, I've heard, but I mean, like, so
here's the thing. So one time back back at say Olif,
where I grew up, Yeah, there's these two guys who
ran the little league, and they were nice guys, and
one decided to have a brainstorm one night when he's drinking.
You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna start a
deer farm. He started a deer farm because the very
reason deer season is only three three weeks a year. Yeah,
so you gotta get what you get when you get it,
and then after that you can't hunt it anymore. And
nobody really sells it in stores. But what if you
own a deer firm farm? Now you can legally kill
the deer.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So this deer farm blasted about six months.
Speaker 1: And the reason was because they kept jumping out.
Speaker 4: Yes, how are you gonna get short? These guys were
drinking all the time. It was pretty just an excuse
to like, here his buddy to start drinking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're starting to deer farm.
Speaker 1: The deer all right away. All right, here's one on
the menu that I cannot wrap my head around. You
ready for this crispy sesame sticky squirrel wings.
Speaker 3: I'm willing to try it.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, now when you said wings, but I know
it sounds weird because there are the flying squirrels.
Speaker 3: Well, there are buff Buffaloes don't have wings, right, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1: It's a kind of buffalo, the same kind of thing. Right.
Speaker 3: Is there a town called Squirrel?
Speaker 1: There probably is Squirrel, New York.
Speaker 3: You can trying to squirrel wings.
Speaker 1: You gotta make uh these crispy sesame sticky squirrel wings
with either the front legs from the squirrel or front
and back legs from rabbits. God, see the front legs
from squirrel. Like I can't. I can't. That looks like
a rat to me, that's a that's a rat. I
can't do it anything.
Speaker 3: They could have rabies, Like how would you test, like
right now, like.
Speaker 1: The restart is foaming at the mouth.
Speaker 5: Damn.
Speaker 3: So one of the reasons we are quote told that
egg prices are quote high because of bird flu. So
how do we know that, like this stuff has been
tested for rabies or whatever.
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't, we don't take but you probably okay, okay,
probably okay. The crispy fried coating gets tossed in an
Asian inspired sauce that's topped with crunchy sesame seeds. They
can't do that part, Oh you can't. Now now that's
stuff I could do. But then if I be eating
them and go god, damn, this is good, and then
someone goes, yeah, squirrel, I would practically throw up right
into the bowl, like I'd be like, I can't do.
Speaker 3: It us as we learned in Christmas Vacation that squirrel
is high and.
Speaker 1: Does eat these things. Like in some places, though dog
and cat are considered are eating horse. I think there's
always been the joke interviewed a guy who wasn't there
a school like a bustard for serving horse meters.
Speaker 3: Oh probably, Well, I don't actually should name the store's name.
But the story is that there is a story a
grocery store chain that's very affordable, and the story is
that they kind of mix horse meat in the beef.
Not gonna say oh, but they do just enough where it's.
Speaker 1: Okay, tops number mops. Wasn't that teasing?
Speaker 3: I'm teasing, I should, but you're on the right track
with four letters.
Speaker 1: Uh, horse, donkey, how about donkey m.
Speaker 3: That's interesting anything with that? If I could picture the
animal having a name, I don't want to eat it,
like yeah, like or yeah right, whoa to me? They're
going to eat my tail? But yeah, you know, I
mean like when you're when you're hungry, you'll eat anything.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yes, it's true. H We will take
a moment, Dan, Yes, get a little serious here, because
there's something I came across.
Speaker 3: Somebody else die No no, okay, good no, No, no
deaths in one show that's I didn't mean to Oh no,
I'm still thinking about that though. The two deaths, well,
the first death was TJ Ace. Okay, so TJ was
a short guy. Yes, yes, Okay, guy looks like a surfer.
Speaker 1: You got it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like the ace die, I mean that that
bothers me because the other one. No, No, I thought,
yeah she died too. Yeah, but I mean I thought,
you're gonna mention another death and said one shows too
much in an error.
Speaker 1: Of constant digital connection? How can we empower kids to
navigate online spaces safely while maintaining their trust and emotional wellbeing?
It is something I think about a lot. That's why
I wrote the question.
Speaker 3: Does Jamison have a spoon tape to a computer?
Speaker 1: No? He does not.
Speaker 3: You know why they have that?
Speaker 1: Usually to block the camera, right, Oh, don't just see
if your parents are coming, right, It's like a rearview mirror.
Speaker 3: Lady jellmen, if you're listening, if your kid has a
spoon tape to the monitor, yeah, it means they're watching
porners and they're waiting for you to come in.
Speaker 1: Right. And I had an appointment before I came here tonight,
and I admitted a whole bunch of stuff. I think
I had like a porn addiction as a child in all. Seriously, yeah,
some other day one I have my thoughts because I
was gonna touch on it tonight, and I'm like, I
don't have the thoughts together enough to make it, but yeah,
I think molestation and hyper sexuality and you know, all
kinds of stuff. But yeah, I mean that was part
of the reason I went to Utah was basically I
was told to coldn't live under my dad's roof anymore
multiple wives because I got caught as I got caught
with a big, glossy foreign.
Speaker 3: And they said, shit, a Utah.
Speaker 1: Well Park City, you know, all right, we will get
into this digital connection and what's happening because there's an
opinion piece that talks about sextortion and what's happening. Okay, yeah,
it's a it's bigger than I thought. Uh, and I'm
thinking it's probably happening to someone listening, or someone knows
of it, or baby doesn't even know what's happening. Yeah,
we will get to all that. Right after this, it's

he's got to get it in there. I think when
you could talk about farts, crossfire, hurricanes, O g oh,
this is just yeah yeah, jump to that class.
Speaker 3: Okay, we should do this soget Bridge.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I would love to see it. Do this.
Speaker 3: I bet it, which might happen this August. Yeah, baby,
we might come out of retirement to work it out
the details, all right, I love it. Also gonna have
to play a surprise party, but we gotta figure that out.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it's a gas there. It
is National Fart Day. And I only say that we
know that farts throughout history. I mean when could a
fart change everything? And I was thinking about.
Speaker 3: This butterfly effect?
Speaker 1: Uh what do you mean by butter Yes, yes, a little.
Speaker 3: Fly flaps its wings and then you, uh, Bill's lose
THEFC Championship.
Speaker 1: Gip. No, but what I was thinking is a tense moment,
like a tent thing. No, but I'm saying, like a
tense moment. I think it does. I think it could
really diffuse things. He's like, excuse me, Yeah, that's the
word to use. Yes, absolutely, And I think I could
see that. I could totally see that, you know what
I mean? Like, I just I just wonder, like when
a fart has kind of changed things, you know, throughout history.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, that it's gonna hit me like when the
show's over. I'm like, you know what the time.
Speaker 1: No, but listen, a single fart started riots basically in
forty four BC. We did learn that. You can look
it up yourself. It is reel right in Israel. It
has inspired yet well well I don't know. It was
Jewish people and it was a Roman.
Speaker 4: Soulier passover like okay, so Israel was under like Roman
rule at that point. Jesus hadn't arrived yet. Yes, and
the Pharisees took their passover very seriously.
Speaker 1: Yes. And then so this Roman soldier pulled down his pants,
bent over and farted and then said insulting things, and
they picked up rocks and started throwing them in a
riot broke out that that happened. We already covered that. Uh.
Then there was also a poem written in England about
the fart in chambers or whatever they were doing on
their version of the Senate and even shaped entertainment, there
was the guy who could suck air in and like
purp it out, but threw his ass and he became
one of the biggest things on mulan Rue. She was
the highest paid guy. He would blow out candles, he
would do all kinds of things.
Speaker 3: Oh well, yeah, because it's it's funny like you. Have
you ever been to a Renaissance festival h No, okay,
I hate them on purpose.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 3: I went one time with my wife some friends. I'm like,
everyone's dressed up and I'm wearing my Albundy I'm wearing
my al Bundy pol Kai shirt on, and I got
more compliments about my outfit than my wife did. She
was upset. But we go there and the most sold
out event was not the jousting. You'd think it would
be the jousting That's what I wanted to see. No,
it was the dirty comedian.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 4: He would speak with the British accent. He was from Canada,
and he would tell these old timey stories.
Speaker 3: I like that. That was like like that was like NonStop.
They had too of them. They had a row Tatum
and people were waiting in line all day to watch
these funny I thought it was kind of it was
fart humor. But you mean he could I could hit
some moments. I didn't think he was that funny. Ryhill
thought he.
Speaker 1: Was a riot. All right, maybe I'm too high brow.
Bill you are, I guess you are. I would ask
you this.
Speaker 3: I'm used to tom Ulay.
Speaker 1: When could a well timed fart actually have changed the
course of history? And you think about Nancy Championship game, Well, okay,
I'm going.
Speaker 4: To review that fourth and one, and you know, all
of a sudden, here see he clearly got in.
Speaker 1: I used to do the fart court where wait, you
would think like you're watching, uh, you're watching Larry King
and Larry King, Hey, tonight, we got it all right,
go ahead, Minnesota. That wasn't me. That was the chance.
Speaker 3: I told that story about being on Channel thirteen, and yes, yes,
a lot of class on the vinyl. There's also a
story where Hulk Hogan tells this story Russell Mania Three's
wrestling Andre the Giant and this was the biggest event
in pay per view history at this point and Andre.
He Hogan swears to this day he didn't know if
Andre was gonna let him win the match, and so
when when the match starts, he goes to slam Andre
for the first time and he falls back. Andre lands
on him. The referee goes one to Andre lets Hogan
kick out, and then he farts.
Speaker 1: Who did Andre?
Speaker 4: And Andre's farts are like Kirkanshwan there was and Hogan.
Speaker 3: So now Holgan like it's like his eyes. He can't
get up, he can't see Andre because now Andre just
lets it all out of the mat right. Then there's
another story he told where like they're flying in a plane.
Andre needed two seats because he's a big dude, and
Andre would like pass gas and the pilots would be
yelling at Vince mcmahonagan, come on, this is bull crap man,
because they know where to go, and it was like
so like they there's one two minute segment in the
Andrea the Giant documentary in HBO where they just talk
about Andrey's Flatchelet's really legendary, and the way they describe it,
they're talking about five hundred fifty pounds due to seven
foot seven.
Speaker 1: I remember being in college and I was in a
public speaking class and I had to get up to
give a speech and this whyse ass in the back
of the room, and this was a community college at
the time. He lets out a fart that just I mean,
it just reverberates, it's off the chair, it just it
does everything. And they're laughing. I'm laughing. His face is
so rad it looks like his whole head's gonna pop off.
They're laughing. I can't even start my speech. And the
guy who run in the class fucking lises it, stands up,
goes if he fails, you foul. He's screaming to the
getting parted. So far can change history? Could have changed
the course, to change my grade, could have absolutely. I
saw an opinion piece and it's somewhat concerning and a
little more serious, I guess than the far humor for sure.
Speaker 3: Jaje.
Speaker 1: No, it is not a toaj. It was actually about
the alarming rise of sextortion, which sounds silly, but we
have laws in New York State where you can't write
revenge porn. I think is the law, but it would
be under sextortion. The case is targeting children and teens,
with the FBI reporting over eighteen thousand cases in twenty
twenty one, and some law enforcement agency seeing a four
hundred percent increase in recent years, and they're going eighteen
thousand that the FBI knows about. There's probably way more
than that. Oh ye, how many people are not reporting.
Speaker 3: That's the tip of the iceberg.
Speaker 1: So you've got like thirteen year old boys who somehow
an adult got a picture of them naked, and they're
going One guy got thousands of dollars from three thirteen
year old boys to keep quiet. Thousands of dollars. I
don't know where the kids got the money, but this was.
Speaker 3: There's a story about a kid a few years ago
committed suicide over someone.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, there were two kids in the US and
one in Britain. Yep. Yeah. Boys.
Speaker 3: They couldn't process it.
Speaker 1: They of course not.
Speaker 3: They they were so embarrassed they killed themself, of.
Speaker 1: Course, of course, but they befriend miners on social media
gaming platforms gain their trusts, right, manipulation, flattery, all this stuff,
and then sexual content and then blackmail and they threatened
to expose explicit images and the consequences are devastating. They
are deliterately for the team. It's devastating because you don't
want and we're such a unfortunately a prudish society that
I think those things become bigger than they really are. Right,
you would never disown your kid because they send a
naked picture to somebody, but the kid doesn't know that,
and it takes on the life.
Speaker 3: It's America, like you crossed the border, like they're showing
like the Doors movie. I remember, like it's seventeen years old.
The Doors movie was on CBC, which is a Canadian
broadcasting company, at eight o'clock on a Friday night Monday
morning in Buffalo. Radio stations were all talking about the
fact that their kids were watching the Doors Movie, full
frontal nudity and everything over the Canadian their ways, and
they couldn't do anything about it because it was free television. Right,
because like the border, it came up to the border
and everybody was shocked. They said, the would you would
never see the Doors movie had ABC or scene? Yes, right,
you know but like so because we're we we have
a different idea of what an adult is in this country.
Speaker 1: Yes, and I don't know if that were necessarily right.
Speaker 3: I think there's pros and cons to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to live here than there, but that
but that even it's a weird thing because I see
kids and I always go when you hear about these teachers, right,
and I don't know, the one that always gets me
is is the women. And I only say that because
I think women.
Speaker 3: Are smarter, guys more mature.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean like in terms of emotional intelligence, like
they see a young boy, their young boy, you could
be their mom, right and then or you know, but
if it's somebody even twenty five falling for sixteen, I go,
that just seems odd to me. And you're throwing away
everything your livelihood that you spent extra money on to
get the masters at least here, I don't know what
other states. So then I see this story out of
southern California where they must have the hottest students because
there are brick the law and nothing with sex stortion
on this. But it's something else that comes down, like
you want to build the I always think, like when
it comes to social media. How do you protect your
kids from that stuff? You protect your kids from that
stuff by having them somehow, And I'm not I don't
know how to do this exactly, but I'm trying believe
in themselves so much that they're better than that. I
don't need to do this because you asked me to.
I don't need to get my self worth from you,
creepyn you got it. You know somebody who's pretending to
be the fifteen year old girl up the street, but
is really a thirty five year old guy and live
and in Charlotte. You know what I'm saying. It's like, okay, yeah,
do you understand what I'm saying? Hey? And then it's like,
how's it going, hey, Javison, how's it going? It would
be weird, right? So I always that the sextortion thing.
How do you keep your kid from falling trapped to that?
They got to believe they're better than that, They got
better things to do with their time. And I'm not
sure how you do that other than whenever you see
your kid get a win, so to speak, push them,
push them. Fuck, that's great, man, Let's do it again?
Is my thing. I don't know how to do this.
I don't know, but that that would be my thing.
Let me ask, well, could no, what're you gonna say?
Speaker 3: Your boys? You have three boys?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: How old were they when you allowed them a cell
phone or smartphone?
Speaker 1: So the first guys it was thirteen.
Speaker 3: Okay, what was the reason behind it?
Speaker 1: Because they were going to friends and things, and you
need to find out where they were, and we were
just so society kind of created the needs society because
I used to take off and my parents had no
idea what I was doing. You know what I'm saying.
Oh yeah, we'd be in.
Speaker 3: The woods for days. We were without bathing, we.
Speaker 1: Were building forts and then stealing the older boys cigarettes
and stuff. Shower this week, you know, and you'd be
running in brushing your teeth. I yeah. But it was
also like, uh, I grew up in a like you,
in a very rural area where I guess maybe it
was more dangerous, but there's more traffic here, and there's
more of this, and.
Speaker 3: There's more that men and the beavers were nervous.
Speaker 1: And see you could just you know, after school activities
and one guy here. So it was easier at that
age to make sure they had a phone, and he
had to be thirteen. And then when Jamison came along,
I think he got it at like ten, and Jordan
fucking meltst down.
Speaker 4: And Jordan, we have a Supreme Court case in this
house that suggests that the president is thirteen years old.
Speaker 3: Dad.
Speaker 1: I don't know how old Javison was. It might have
been nine. Jordan had to be sixteen or seventeen when
Davison got that is so unfair. We had a wait
till we were thirteen. And I go, yeah, but this
guy's like arguing, you guys are in high school and
we're trying to get you. I gotta know where this
dude is, and you can buy phones that are just
kid phoned. I was too lazy. I just gave him
the full thing.
Speaker 3: I don't want to deal with it anyway.
Speaker 1: It's bad, probably bad way to be by Sapple. But
three see now again, when you hear these stories, it's
going to be interesting because the at least one of
the students involved was sixteen years old, and I think
at sixteen it wouldn't be uncommon to hear a sixteen
year old of either gender or any gender say they're
in love. I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Recently in this they say that again, you don't think that, I.
Speaker 1: Think I don't think it. It would be uncommon, common,
uncommon for anybody sixteen years old of any gender. Gosh,
I would just love it.
Speaker 3: Two okay and three four with cartoon characters. Well, Daphne
from Scooby Doo okay, well and Pana White.
Speaker 1: Well Daphne was kind of.
Speaker 3: Yees she was redhead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at that. Three recent arrests in southern California
schools highlighting and disturbing pattern of school employees engaging in
sexual misconduct. This guy who's uh, Mariano Hernandez, thirty two
years old.
Speaker 3: Sounds like he could have pitched for the Cleveland Indians.
Speaker 1: Oh, he was pitching something. He was throwing a high
heater over the plate at seven thirty in the morning.
But because he's an elementary school teacher, they're about five
miles from the high school. And somebody sees the car
a rockin and they call the cops. And I wonder
if somebody saw a thirty two year old guy with
a sixteen year old girl.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Mariana Hernandez, he could have hydraulics.
Speaker 1: So when they go back and they talk to this kid.
They said that they were in a sexual they were
in a relationship, they had just recently started dating. And
you could probably feel where the sixteen year old girl
was just.
Speaker 3: Feels like she's in love because the older guy think
this is hot. She looks more sophisticated. It's not just
the love thing, it's also an ego, an ego boost.
Now all of a sudden, she's the envy of her friend.
I mean, it's so many different things, of course, in
your in her head, in her head. I'm not talking
about reality, I'm talking about her mind.
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's and that's the part, right, yeah, that
we got so earlier cases involved a twenty three year
old coach another one of thirty seven year old choir teacher,
both rested for sexual relationships with students. All occurred within
months of each other in this one school. It's like,
holy crap. So with three school employees arrested for sexual
abuse in the same area within months, what's really broken here?
Is it the screening system for the teachers? Is it
the school culture? Are they too friendly with students? Is
it our society's ability to protect teams? I don't know.
I think it's a coincidence.
Speaker 3: I really think it's I want to say it's a
coincidence too. I mean, well, like like when they talk
about like child molestation, they say there's usually one hundred
victims before somebody speaks up. I don't know how true
that is. I have no idea how they could take
that statistic. Yeah, I think it's just the ones that
like report it, because there's hundreds who don't. But that
could also add to that number two. But I think
in this instance, it's hard to screen teachers. When you
when you try to hire somebody, you gotta fight. You
gotta fill the role. Hey, school you got like you
got because now there's fewer and fewer teachers, right, they're
all applying for these jobs. You got to you gotta
find the best, most qualified.
Speaker 1: Find a sixteen year old girl to walk in the
room in a short skirt, right, you top something to
bend over, and you gotta where does his eyes go?
Speaker 3: And then you look at the lady in the back.
Speaker 1: Nope, Yeah, yeah, right, I mean I don't, I don't
I think it's a coincidence. I think it's coincidence too,
I really do. I think that it's completely coincidence. The
last guys could have been teachers for years and nothing happened. Right,
you can start teaching at twenty four, and now at
thirty two, something happens. I don't know. Do you remember.
Speaker 3: Do you remember when Tom Brenneman got busted for He
recently got brought back, but he was working for the
Cincinnati Reds and he didn't realize the cameras were live.
They were talking about San Francisco off air, and he says,
and I quote right when they go to the open,
it's the quote fag capital of the world.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: He got fired. Yeah, but here's the thing, though, he
was comfortable enough to say that among his peers who
he was working with, in other words, that was the culture.
Now bring it back to this school. Three teachers in
a space. Do you think these guys, Hey, you see
so so looking pretty cute? And then one guy all
takes one guy to say, I wouldn't mind being thirteen again.
And then all of a sudden, there's this idea, Oh,
it's okay.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: In the back of their minds they may think it's okay.
I'm not saying it's okay. I'm saying that this this
is because this is what they call group think. A
person is smart, but people are stupid. Groups are stupid,
and then you sink to your lowest common denominator.
Speaker 1: It could could be the culture there and all takes
is one or two guys, say culture of the school.
I don't know now.
Speaker 3: I think it's probably a coincidence.
Speaker 1: Do you remember this happening when you were a kid.
Were there any student teacher affairs that.
Speaker 3: There was one people I knew about, but usually it
was kept pretty quiet. It was there was one, but
it was a female substitute teacher and a student who
had just graduated. He was already eighteen, so at that
point there was like a wink quink, nudge, nudge, and
then I'll show you some tricks. Yeah, one of those
types of things. So he could walk around and go, yeah,
I poked so and so right. And for those of
you who are in Silver Creek listening, you just in
box me and I'll tell you who if you don't
know the story already. But I mean, that was it.
That was it. There was never any never any guys
to girls.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, like, how do you protect a
kid when they think they're in love? Because when they
think they're in love. I believe they're in love. They
are in love, yes, because they believe that. And so
now you're keeping me from the person who's so good
to me. And so this and that, we've had the
case here there the coach, yeah in Chili. Who And
then when they caught was in a relationship, he wound
up getting fired. I think he was a sub but
also a basketball coach or something. And it turned out
that they had a real relationship.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you know what I do? Actually I
do remember something. So we talked about this on the
break room. There was a situation back home where we
had this weird tech teacher. He's kind of strange. Rumors
that he was gay or he was the head. He
was the mentor for the local Cub Scouts or boy Scouts.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: He moved to Riverside, California, and one of the tech students,
who was a couple of years behind, ends up moving
with him. WHOA and years later we found out that
he would have these sleepovers at his house with his
tech boys, and then all of a sudden that he
went on to propagate pedophilia. He moved to Hawaii and
then it put it together a website talking about how
HIV was a myth.
Speaker 1: Really oh yeah, he and he and.
Speaker 3: Then we found out that, yeah, he was playing pattycake
with a couple of the students, but they were of
age they could send it to move and that type
of thing. But he kind of like built his own
fishing hole and then moved west. And then he sent
a letter. He was he was dumb enough to write
a letter to the guys who stayed behind talking about
how he his sexuality, and the the superintendent got wint
to that letter and sent it to the district attorney. Now,
I don't think anything came of it, but yeah, but
that was after I graduated that this situation happened, But
it was going on while we were in school, and
those of us who were hipped everything knew there was
something weird about the guy, but didn't know what it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because most of that stuff is you know, a
good shouldn't say it that way, But a person who
of age perpetuating a crime as it is by the law,
will say, Grumman, don't tell anybody. Yeah, you can't keep
this secret. You can to keep it quiet. That's the lance.
More set song and so look it up. There's uh,
it's unfortunate. But the sextortion stuff is bad too, because
you know, you got kids and they don't know what's happening.
And then I always hate these laws that will punish
kids for sending naked photos to other basically kids, mind, right,
Like you know, all of a sudden, I got I
got a naked picture of well, let's say it was
even Jamison, right, and then he's to a girl, and
I go, that's the crime, right, And so we talk
about that. I mean, I make sure that there's a.
Speaker 3: Hey, oftentimes the law uses a sledgehammer to beat a
net yeah, instead of like a common sept But like, no,
that would have cost more money and more time and
more lobbyists and more research and more blah blah blah blah. Right,
so let's just kill it with a sledgehammer, and then
we end up with these situations exactly, you know, like
hard cases make bad law, and it's just it's a shame.
But this is the way it is, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Danny, what are your predictions for the big game
on Sunday. I'm gonna take the iiggles, You're gonna take
the iggles. I think it's.
Speaker 3: So the simulations.
Speaker 1: Throw it out. I think I took the Chiefs forty
six to something.
Speaker 3: Oh did you really so? The simulations that I ran
on Gemini or I'm sorry with Chad GBT had the
Chiefs winning fifty five percent of the games out of
ten thousand games and the Eagles winning forty five percent
of the games, and they picked the score twenty six
point six on average to twenty six in favor of
the Chiefs. I'm going with the Eagles. They have the
better roster. I think I've been mulling over this Bills
Championship Game, ABC Championship game for a while. Now. Kansas
City played their best game of the season, and you
want to know, the kick and the balls, despite the
fact that Josh Allen almost turned the ball over seven times,
despite the fact that their best players didn't show up.
Speaker 1: Won the freaking Now.
Speaker 3: The Eagles have a great roster, not a good roster,
a great roster. Their win click is the guy in
the sidelines, Nick Sirianni, their head coach. But they've been
able to keep it together in spite of that douchebag
all season long. Yeah, this team is better than the
team that lost to the Super Bowl, barely lost the
Super Bowl thanks to a nice little call in the
end zone two years ago to the Chiefs. This Chiefs team,
and we've said this before, isn't as good as that
team that beat that Eagles team back then. I think
the Eagles are gonna win this game. I'm gonna go
out in that limb and say the Eagles are gonna win.
I think it's gonna be. I hate picking round football
scores because you don't see them anymore, but I'm gonna
say the Eagles win this twenty nine to twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Wow, alright, Well, enjoy your squirrel wings and the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will.
Speaker 1: The big game, buddy, I like it. So what it
was again?
Speaker 3: Nine twenty seven?
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, that's that's the close one. I'm looking forward
to the commercials. You know what.
Speaker 3: The commercials have sucked for years.
Speaker 1: I know, but I been seeing teasers and I haven't
seen full commercials yet online.
Speaker 3: Matthew mcconaugheys in one of them.
Speaker 1: I know that. Yeah, but I've seen teasers for commercials
but not the actual usually get the whole commercial. In
the past couple of years. By now, they were.
Speaker 3: All out toll Pradie would do a whole thing on him.
I've seen all the commercials. I'll tell you what's funny.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I have a have a wonderful weekend
and enjoy the big game. I don't know what we're
I don't know what we're gonna do podcast wise, I
float that all around. Oh, Teddy's only Wednesda.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, I'm like, am I not coming in tomorrow?
Speaker 1: Yeah? You are if you want to talk about I
didn't know. Okay, want your shadow puppets. That's great for
Dan Morella, for the dogs. I'm Bill Moran. We'll see
