Speaker 1: When your old career gives you lemons. Throwing some ice,
mixing some vodka in color. The podcast from the Mac
of All Trade Studio in Fairport and driven by Victor
Chrysler Dots jeep Ram. It's Billified, the Bill Moran Podcast.
Hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on. Thank
you for telling a friend.
Speaker 2: That's how we spread the word about the bird ship.
Oh a little surprise today, back from the resorts of
Turks and Fatso I mean Keikos.
Speaker 1: You submit?
Speaker 3: Is this the only reason you have got nobody else
to pick out?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Baby, I'm bat Dougie Fresh, the hipshaking money making Tower,
part Man of the twenty four to seven, the one
your mother warned you.
Speaker 1: About getting a tan? And look at I any fine
his back home? Baby? How are you? I am? Well,
you're looking good. I gotta say. Man, Turks and Kekos
and you got a little bit of a tan going there? Yeah,
because I burned the first day I used to do.
Speaker 3: You gotta be careful with that ship, dude, I had,
I had sunscreen on and.
Speaker 1: Still through the spf fifty. You were getting fifty.
Speaker 3: It was only date fifty, but you were out there.
Speaker 1: Man, you put a picture of you on social media. Yeah, shirtless,
standing there, arms wide open, and I go to a towel.
Speaker 3: No, I'm like, you know what, Yeah, but who should care? Right,
I'm in the middle of son and fun, my good
friends getting married.
Speaker 1: Look at some point in your life, right, yeah, you're
either keep hiding the parts you're insecure about or you
just walk out and go Love me for who I am.
This is the body that got me here, and that's
what you did. And I loved it. I thought that
was great.
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you since January, the second week
in January, I've lost twenty two pounds. Really did not
show in that picture. I'd actually have to lose another.
Speaker 1: You got one. Great about that, though. I do what
you been doing?
Speaker 3: Very little exercising, okay, so well, I mean diet, yes,
eating a whole lot less a lot of protein, not
a lot of protein, but just enough to fill me
up in the move on, exercising in the morning, some
plank works now and just itching up just a little.
Speaker 1: Bit, doing some plank work.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for the belly, because if you lose your way
too fast, like these people with the SAIC, it gets saggy.
Speaker 1: Remember the old.
Speaker 3: What was it when your mom had the wash the
wash line out back, she had that big thing full
of pins.
Speaker 1: We just hang there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I always see. I don't want to
be yes the meat skirt that comes out. I don't
want to be hanging over like that.
Speaker 1: You see there. There are a couple of thoughts I
had about all this, and and then and let's go
back to the ozembic because I think at some point
in your life you gotta let go of performative youth.
You just are what you are, right and and and
and so be it. And I think a lot of
times attractive is attractive. But what it's also attractive is
a confidence and a self security right.
Speaker 3: Yes, rightackage that you like right.
Speaker 1: And the other thing is women have a lot of
things that they can hide flaws with. I don't mean
to sound like a misogynistic jerk, but they do, like
uh oh, when they get a little bit older, if
things get a little big. You got the bathing suit
with the little skirt that goes around the side, right,
kind of hides everything, you know what I mean? There
ain't shit for us, No, there's not ship. Let it
all hang out. Are fucking fat, beautiful, right, and then
that's it. And I think that it becomes like it's
confidence first delusion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, people hanging in their youth. I mean I did
an old timer wrestling tournament twelve years ago, got a
shape for that, down to one seventy and this is obvious.
I've ever been too fifty. Now I'm done, just twenty
seven a day on the scale.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 3: So this in the next three months. And I hate
talking about this because I always feel, just do it.
Speaker 1: Don't tell everybody gonna do it.
Speaker 3: You do it, and then have somebody else toot your
horn instead of you blowing yourself. I'm gonna I'm gonna
lose this and I'm gonna do that. You know you're
not doing anything.
Speaker 1: You're speaking my language because I often say, uh, go
forth and tell no one. And I say it that
way because it was like, you know, almost biblical in
a sense, because it was Jesus and I had this
disagreement i'll call it with my dad philosophically on whether
or not Jesus had actually said something like that. But
I believe that he would heal people with leoparsy or
whatever and then say go back to your village. But
tell no one that you've been healed. And because as
if you do, you know, dogs gonna come along go
fuck you is gonna fall off again. And then it
gets in your head and you and and everything I
believe in life really is up here. And so oh yeah,
you know what I'm saying, like the way you feel
about all that stuff, and that's why.
Speaker 3: Well that's as xempech. It doesn't make you lose weight,
it gets you on a mind path off.
Speaker 1: Don't even talk to me about I have such a problem. Okay,
I'm just saying, you know, I know.
Speaker 3: People, it gets you thinking not to eat so much.
It helps you that way, just so you just don't
stick it in you and you're losing weight automatically. There's
a whole process to it. If that's what you feel.
Speaker 1: Didn't go for.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to do that. Some people suggest that.
I'm like, no, I'm gonna lose weight on my own
and I do feel better.
Speaker 1: Let me. Let me sleeping through the night.
Speaker 3: You don't have to wake up and piss because your
belly is not hanging on your bladder. You know, your
knees don't hurt as much. Blong Dave bartending.
Speaker 1: Uh, I think you should be but the whole.
Speaker 3: But getting back to the picture, yes, you know the whole.
It was a this is what they're doing in France
with a towel around you so I could hide my belly.
Speaker 1: Oh I got you still in the arm. Yeah. No,
had a lily white bowling ball there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but not as bad as hanging it out.
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, you know what, why do you care?
But you do. The beach is the last honest place
on earth. It really is, because even I mean as
I kind of joke that women have the the thing.
Oh many of them do. You'll see flaws, and my
favorite are the women that just don't care. I loved
when I.
Speaker 3: Was self confidence is very sexy in a woman.
Speaker 1: Well, self confidence and almost maybe not understanding.
Speaker 3: Uh, they're not worried about being judged. They like their outfit.
I'm going out in there, and I've met a lot
of people in the bars obviously, yeah, and over there
is and I remember some of the women that just
you know, I like this and this is who I am,
and they don't like it. They can go to hell.
They're not wearing it. They didn't pay for it.
Speaker 1: No, look I. But what I was gonna say is
I used to have a timeshare, so we would go
to different places. You know, you can. My wife at
the time was great at like booking it out west
and you know, trading whatever we had in Florida. And
I remember being at one family resort, family place, and
this lady sitting up like you had to swim out
to like this makeshift island in the pool, and she's
sitting on this thing and she has on fucking dental floss.
I mean, there's nothing there and I and I go,
goddamn lady. And you knew every nobody there dressed that way,
so every woman was probably you know, in some way
judging under their threat and all this stuff, and it
seemed inappropriate for the place. But I, you know, I
fully appreciated it in all its beauty, and that was
fine with me. That was fine. Oh, zemic, Let me
let me say something. We can go back to something else. No, well,
let me tell you about my trip and we'll go
to that. Let me talk about ozembic because you brought
it up and it's too fresh. Uh. Ozembic to me
is a wonderful thing for people who are really struggling
to lose weight. I think that that's okay. I don't
have problem with any of that stuff. But even the
people and we can think of this, and everybody probably
knows of someone who had gastric bypass, and most people
who had gastric bypass ate through it. They blew through
it at some point. You mean, most people like to
put on more weight sometimes had problems because they the
mesh or whatever they put around you to constrict it
blew out. I mean, I've known people who've done that. Yeah,
And here's the thing that that I think of often
with ozembic, and I again, I truly at my core,
whatever is going to make you feel best. The human
experience can be tough. Judgment can be tough. But because
of that, when I'm hearing less and less of is
people saying not so much big as beautiful, but body acceptance.
You know, this is who I am. I appreciate it. Well,
you know, don't judge me because I'm this. Don't do that.
And if you said to somebody the greatest way to
really feel good about yourself and lose weight is consistency
with diet and exercise, but when you said that, you
were kind of an asshole because you're shaming them and
you're doing this, and I'm hearing less and less from
the the Lizos and the other people of the world
that were kind of big and beautiful and flauning it.
And I thought, even with Lizzo, fuck go go girl,
do whatever. But now they've all found a zembac and
they're all in shape and skinny, and nobody's saying that anymore.
Nobody's fucking saying it. And the other thing is, I
do believe, like anything in life, if you have skin
in the game, it's valued more. Now ozembic is the
uh the or or any GLP one. I think some
even coming up in a pill form. But if you're
stabbing yourself with this medicine once a day, once a week,
whatever it is, it does constrict your eating and a
lot of people talk about how painful it is, like
you get cramping and it's awful and you don't want
to eat, so you don't eat. Look if it again,
if it helps, if you went through it, I help
you maintain it. I hope there's no real side effect,
because I don't know that.
Speaker 3: They've stun a ton of reasons and some people do
because of the metabolism are just naturally heavy and it's
helped them. That's I don't know what percentage that is.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: I also know people that smoking hot Yeah, and they
got their hands out of them because they want to
be even skinnier. Yes, and they're on their phone taking
pictures yes all day.
Speaker 1: No, I got it. But the part with me is
like when I say no skin in the game is
you took an easy way to get to where you
wanted to get. When you actually work for it, you
maintain it longer. It's a lifestyle, right. I don't know
how long a GLP one lifestyle can go. You want
to be stabbing yourself all the time with a needle,
I don't know if it works for you. Great, But
what bothers me is the people who said diet and
exercise is really the key to a longer, better life
were often told, don't tell me how to fucking live,
love my body for the way it is. I am
what I am. And now I hear less of that
because those fuckers got GLP one. And that's the thing
that I go, Oh my god, they were full of shit.
Speaker 3: When did the whole change and body and everything I mean,
when did plastic surgery come out that you could change something?
Because before that who you were and I don't know,
I had exercise. I mean in the eighties, yes, you know,
fake breast, it went out, a liposection, you know, knows
jobs everything.
Speaker 1: Now we've just elevated, you know, we've just we've gone
on for We've made it more acceptable, We've made it
more accessible.
Speaker 3: I will say that anybody can do it with money.
Well and everything there's good in bed.
Speaker 1: Hang on on, you've seen some bad plastic surgery and
not even that. Take it back one step before plastic surgery.
How many people are getting botox now, even men to
get rid of the I forget that what they call
this there's a rinkle, No, but there's an actual word
for the one in between your highs. They do do
their forehead, all this stuff you will see and then
you see uh people women plumping up their lips and all.
And I think that that isn't something most men really,
I don't care for that.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: I know some people get botex to get rid of migraines.
Speaker 1: Yep, okay, I've heard of that as well, But I know,
but that's not the majority that is not even close
to the majority, and it's become a business and so
what and if it makes you feel better at the
end of the day.
Speaker 3: I don't like pumping anything into my body because I
know what's want to happen.
Speaker 1: That's you're full of shit. Look at your body. You
pump a lot of stuff, Jenny Light, I'm fucking with you.
But yes, I hear what you say. Anything that isn't
outside of food or whatever. Yeah, yeah, something like that.
I don't Again, I don't want to sound like, you know,
you're such an ass. No, if it makes you feel
better about you and you're and it makes you present
yourself better and you have a little more confidence and
all that, that's fine. All I'm saying with the gop
ones is I do wonder how long it goes because
I look back to the other alternative and the people
I know who ate through it, blew out or like.
I have a relative his name was Frank. He had one.
He would leave my mother's house after like a big
holiday meal and they were driving back to Albany, about
an hour away from my mom, and he'd come running
back in and he'd be running to go to the
bedroom to take a fucking dump. And then I don't
know why. When my parents rebuilt their house, they had
a powder room right off the kitchen just for him. No,
just I mean it was there, beautiful, but all of
a sudden, it just was like, you're fuck. You can't escape,
you know, and you can't escape you understand what I'm saying.
I don't know exactly what you're saying. And so my
father to run it comes Charlie. So my dad used
to go all the time, Uh, you know, let me
be frank with you, please, don't you know, because the
guy would and and it. It is that thing where
unfortunately the greatest thing is discipline. I don't really have it.
I've had to really really rain in my drinking, like
I had another incident.
Speaker 3: Those are those videos I've seen in the past four weeks.
You down to New mc connery's.
Speaker 1: Hang on a second. I was there for one time,
just one. I was there one time for the grand opening.
There were a lot of videos, but I was there time. Yeah, okay, yeah,
because I haven't been back there. I have not been
back there. Oh wait. After I had my colonoscopy in Brockport,
I stopped there for a beer, but then came back
to the East Side. So I can't go out that far, yes,
but that's the uh oh, I know you can't go
out that far.
Speaker 3: I can't tea megia as a night. You got to
save up your pennies and dimes and the uber out
there and give Dougie Fresh a call.
Speaker 1: And because I haven't been there yet, Oh okay, yeah,
I just I have not. I haven't really, I didn't
even I mean last night it was just me and
my kid and then I had to take a midterm
online and how'd they go. I think, well, I mean, right,
you don't know right until you do it. Of course,
if it's online, it's open book for you to go
back through your notes and things. Yep. I mean I
think you can look. I would think like any doctor
that's worth their salt, or any therapist that's worth their salt,
they're going to research things to freshen up. But yeah,
so I think you're not necessarily cheating. You you either
get it or you don't get it. And to me,
when it's like that, if you don't get a hundred,
you're kind of a dope. So let's see where I land.
I scam. I don't know, let's go back because Doug
did debut a limited time only, limited time only Caribbean
release of his Beautiful Body.
Speaker 3: On the beach Jerks and Caicos. My friend Mark and
Tamiln get married. This is a destination wedding, first one
I have ever been on. And we had to go
from Rochester, Miami, Miami into Turks, which I believe is
owned by the British government, and uh, you know you
need your passport and penn and why am I here?
Speaker 1: And then we were there. The first we runted an
RB and B.
Speaker 3: There was five of us and we had the GPS,
but no address on Grand Island. Laney and the guys like,
this is the old It wasn't a Jamaican accent, but
something similar to that. And what's the closest bar. Danny boys,
Danny Boys. Danny Boy is very clever. So we went there.
We're waiting for everybody to come in. Eight dollars a
cours light, then tax which was twelve dollars government nine
percent in house, so nine ten dollars of beer and
then okay, we know where the house is. There's a
little Wegmans or whatever up the street. We'll go get
a couple some drinks and h everything's important. How much
for a case of Miller Lite or you told me
I did? Yeah, yeah, seventy three dollars. Okay, I was
gonna say it's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but go back to the prices at the bar. Yeah,
because I don't think I know what the prices are
when I buy things.
Speaker 3: I well, it's different from what you used to in
Rochester cours Light. It's usually three or four dollars because
I ordered to hire end bar. Maybe five okay.
Speaker 1: So I drink.
Speaker 3: Guinness, that's usually six six fifty seven.
Speaker 1: Oh it's usually eight yeah. Well I haven't poured it
in a while.
Speaker 3: So that was when I worked at Johnny's, yeah, ten
years ago a little more.
Speaker 1: So. This is like because I'm thinking it's it's for me.
I always think it's eight bucks. But I'll tell you like,
I've gone on some tears in recent times where I
have left and I close out and I go, holy shit, Yeah,
it's one hundred and fifty down to the fuck. What
the fuck? So I go, I gotta no, Yeah, that's
no play. But so got the house. It was two
pools in back.
Speaker 3: Everybody had their own room. It's beautiful. We went out
later that night saying karaoke Danny Boys getting our feet wet.
Speaker 1: Of course they had the crowd going.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Then Thursday, Yeah, there's video of it somewhere. Thursday,
we go to the beach, Crystal Blue water. That's when
I got burned. But you're you're having fun, you know,
you're not thinking about it. You put the sunscreen. It's
a different kind of sun, you know, and you're out
in the ocean and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was, and it's reflecting off the water.
I mean, I think a lot of people also don't
think of that when they ski and stuff and on
a nice day, right, you'll get it. I do only
because I've had a lot of skin cancer issues. Yeah,
and and they're bad. They can be very bad. Allegedly
there was a melanoma. One doctor said, you know, my
original doctors like, you got to get in right away.
And the guy who took it out close because it's
almost too small to tell. Her thought was, if we
let this go to the point where it would be
the size we would normally take out and test, it
would be too late. She's like, it's too close to
your sinuses, it's too close to every day. So since
then I live in a little bit of paranoia of
the sun. Which I love the sun, right, fucking love it.
Sometimes I have to wear big stupid hats and you know, sunscreen. Well,
the other thing is I want to be here, right,
I want to be here. I got a lot, I
have a lot, there is left to do.
Speaker 3: I will say this at the end of well, I
was gonna say to the end. I just thought about it.
Once you go to some place like that, you're like,
you know, I got to save up and go other places.
I'm missing out on the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, I think that's a great Yeah. Man. Fuck.
Speaker 3: There was two main bars. It was Castaways, Danny Boys,
There's some restaurants. It was very nice, obviously expensive. Everybody
got along in the house, coffee and uh breakfast. Friday,
we walked down to a place called Hemingway's. They had
a welcome party Tammy and Mark and everybody got dressed up.
That's where some of the pictures were. And that was
open bars, so you know, you're taking advantage of that
and boozing. And then I was taking pictures because you don't, right,
you know, I'm that I'm that guy. Okay, I'm like
I don't see amy, you're taking pictures and everybody's catching
up and how you doing, how's your room?
Speaker 1: How's this? How's that?
Speaker 3: But if you don't do it, then you're right. I mean,
that's that's a really true thing, because I think I
had over one hundred pictures at night. You know, Okay,
we're gonna go on one three, you know, click one more, boom,
thank you, and I would just move around, put people together,
the brothers and their mom, you know, the bride and groups.
Speaker 1: Those are nice things to have and look back on
because I think of all the times like I've been
together with my whole family and yeah, how we didn't
take pictures? And when I look back at some of
the pictures that were taken at places, and even if
I thought they were dumb at the moment, like I'm like, God,
I fucking get a camera out of my face. It's
you're selling my brother in law? Yeah, getting ped No.
But I mean like there was one where I'm asleep
on a couch, all culled up. Somebody snaps a photo
and it kind of wakes me up, but I go,
what the fuck? And now I look at it and
I go that actually was kind of cool because you
were exhausted from a great time, and who gives a shit,
and you're happy to have that memory. And to your point,
when my parents' house burned down, that's the stuff that
meant the most that they lost. The other shit could
be replaced, yes, but but those were the things I
could not be replaced.
Speaker 3: I go on my laptop every now and then and
I will just go through and this is usually after
a night of drink air. I'm just playing, listen to
some music, and I would just start going through folders
of folders of shoulders, everything I've downloaded, and just the
great memories.
Speaker 1: So overall, good time.
Speaker 3: Yes, there was nothing. Everybody had a great time.
Speaker 1: That was the well.
Speaker 3: That was the welcome party. Saturday was the wedding, and
Mark asked me to shuttle everybody from wherever they were,
so we got the rent a car the run of
the shuttle bus. Now you're steering wheels on the other side, yeah,
and you're driving on the other side of the road.
Speaker 1: And I am fucking hung over. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And at one point he Trinity goes, you're gonna be
able to do that? I go, I'm not gonna remember
any of the.
Speaker 1: The first thing in the morning, ten o'clock. I'm like,
we'll make it work.
Speaker 3: But you know what, GPS worked fine, and everybody's phone number.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 3: I did hit the curb a few times because you're
on the somebody coming and do you think they're fucking
hammered y and all of a sudden you're bopping speed
bumps everywhere. I took one about forty miles per hour.
Everybody jumped up in.
Speaker 1: The in the van.
Speaker 3: I had to slow down a little bit. After that,
you figured it out. Yeah, the roundabout no lights, it's
all roundabouts, and they're down there. There's people that drive
like assles. Effect my buddy Bobby had the other caravan.
He flew by me and I'm giving.
Speaker 1: Them the figure motherfucking him to death. And their videotaping,
it's uh.
Speaker 3: The wedding was on the beach. They rented this huge
fork t your house. If you saw the pictures, absolutely beautiful.
Then we went up for cocktail hour on the top floor.
I didn't drink, uh, and then it was jerk chicken, steak,
lobster tail. Yeah, good time, yes, And then just drove
everybody home when they now we only wanted me to
take a couple of trips, two coming into coming out.
So so I enjoyed myself.
Speaker 1: DJ was great.
Speaker 3: It was fun, beautiful, beautiful, and then we now this
is the story I told my parents.
Speaker 1: The next day.
Speaker 3: We get a shuttle bus down there and Mark's like,
come to the house. We got all this left over food,
all this left over drinks, and we boozed all day
in the pool. I mean there was like the bar,
the canopy, then the ing ground pool. So I ever
walked behind there to get even a water.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 3: You're a new bartender, fill him up. What doesn't matter,
just mix something. So let me go. This is Sunday night, Tuesday.

Speaker 1: Morera Wow, look at Douggie the posting. Yeah, little instrumental there,
that's pretty good. Uh So when.
Speaker 3: Did you leave for Turks and Caicos last Wednesday?
Speaker 1: Last Wednesday?
Speaker 3: And I didn't get back till the following Wednesday. You're

Speaker 1: Good? Yeah? Wow. Connecting flight laid out weather, the.
Speaker 3: Communications, so we could either stay in Miami and wait
there or.
Speaker 1: Go to Washington take care chances while Washington was closer.
Speaker 3: So did that and then they couldn't get us there,
so they put us up in the room we had
to stand by the next morning at ten am. We
didn't make that, so we had to wait for a
ten o'clock fight ten pm ten pm, twelve hours.
Speaker 1: So we played uh deck cars.
Speaker 3: Me and my friend played gin all day and to
his credit, he'd beat me twenty two games of seven.
I couldn't believe. I nervous a fucking man, like, I'm
not getting when you would don't have cars, you know,
a night of cars with friends.
Speaker 1: You're like, ah, yeah, cars just weren't with me a night. Yeah,
when you're losing.
Speaker 3: Twelve hours straight, that's so, and you're you're late and
you're just sitting there suck.
Speaker 1: Yeah it did. So we finally got home and then well, yeah,
that was it. You just gotta roll with the punch
of stuff like that. You can't control.
Speaker 3: They went like control and you're on the plane and
people are complaining. I know they're gonna make us stay
here and we're gonna do this my friend to them,
and at one point I just want to stay ups, like, shut.
Speaker 1: The fuck up, right, You were not helping this situation
an adult for a second, exactly. It's hard.
Speaker 3: If you knew what was going to happen, you wouldn't
got on this plane. And I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 1: I'm stuck to have a good point while you were
having all that fun. I had a colonoscopy on Friday
that you were gone, and it was the weirdest thing
ever because before well, this isn't a finger bow, this
is a whole camera. Yeah, they go deep. Can I
have a wallless sense? So I went out. I didn't
realize that there's a strong West. So now when you
get a strong West, that's it's the hospital strong Oh yeah,
strong West. Okay, Okay, So I had no idea. So
now my doctor said to me, Hey, you're a little
bit overdue. I'm gonna put a thing in and they'll
call you answer it because they don't call back, and
you got to be you know, if you're going to
get in, you gotta do this. Well, they don't call anymore.
They text you. Okay, so they text you a date,
and I'm just assuming it's over by me. Right, I've
had my last klonoky and it is not. So I
don't find out until someone. I say to somebody, hey
I need a ride, and then they go where am
I going? And I look down and go, oh my god.
Strong West is in Brockport. Oh yeah, so that was
not my intention. I yeah, I don't know I could
because I've ubered in Brockport.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think I've ever picked up anybody I
know unity care out there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so this is strong Way, So whatever so
I figured that's a good friend. Well, I got a
ride out and I and then Kevin from the podcast
picked me up and took me back. Did they put younger? Well,
the sort of, so here's the thing is you and
be like, hey, I'm let's take some pictures. I took
a lot of I do the prep right, which is like, Duke, lax, me,
relax all this stuff and you clean out your system.
Well it's not really cleaning out the way I thought
it would. And then that morning, you're going a lot
and I get there and I'm still going, and the
nurse says to me, what color is the liquid that's
coming out of you? And I'm still a little brown. She's like,
they may not want to do this, and I'm like okay.
So the guy's in there and I'm and they're moving me, Doug.
They're physically like asking me to shift and do all
this stuff, and so I'm at but I'm listening. And
then there's like, I swear to God, one of the
nurses doing handstands on my abdomen to try to manipulate
my coal and so he can get the camera up
and in there. And then at one point I'm awake
up watching the screen. He's like powerwashing it because it's
just water coming out. You're laying down. Yeah, you go
on to bed and they bring in your eye. You're
out where you're on your back and you're on your side.
You're on your side. Yeah, you never had one. No listen, Oh,
don't tell me about it. I won't tell you about
my life. My body. It was all big thing.
Speaker 3: So was she's standing on your abdomen, You're on your side.
Speaker 1: I'm on my side and they're trying to manipulate around
when he's going to have him pushed so it's like
pushing down and oh, because you said stand, I don't know.
She's like standing there pushing okay, and I'm saying handstand
because it's like, you know, they're going hard and they're
apologizing to me and they're telling me what a trooper
I am for this. And then I hear the doctor end.
The doctor goes which I sounded so funny, right like
a child, and then doc goes, hey, up up the
pain mets because he's running in he's like hitting the
side of my admin and all this. So how did
he find up there? Gold Watch or Olex? He found
he found a remote from nineteen eighty seven and controller
from the old Nintendo system I had as a kid.
He's like, he's going there was a checker, a piece
of chest. What the fuck's going on here? So I
think we've found the weird part with the world we
live in today, and I'll take this to another direction.
Uh in the next segment that we talked. But it
was strange because then you get the results now on
your my chart. Yes, okay, so it's it's a week
later and I'm a little bothered by everything going on.
They removed two polyps. I had two polyps three years ago.
I had two polyps again. My grandfather, my maternal grandfather,
my mom's dad, died of colon cancer, really prostate colon
something in there. Never had this, wouldn't have anybody go
up his ass period and died at sixty nine years old.
Oh yeah, so he got a little bit of a
family history. We're seeing more and more young people. I
think the because they were famous people that people were
recognized and go, oh my god, forty eight years old,
forty seven years old, forty three years old is very
young to be dying of colorectal cancer. I don't think
they were recommending people get exams until you were in
your fifties, so they said in them. So yesterday I
get the notice and I'm with my son and he's
we had to go to a specific store. So we're
out at a mall I'm not that familiar with, and we,
uh buy this the mall zero is only two left. Yeah,
I guess you're right East View, I know in Greece. Yeah, well,
I don't know grease the mall itself inside. I know
you know bTB, but that's about it. So we we
buy that. And while I'm in the store, I get
a text, uh test results and you get an email
and a notification from my chart on the app. So
I'm like, oh cool, and I go this must be
the process of So now I'm I'm I finally it's
not working in the store. So now I'm starting to
get a little bothered because there's test results. What am
I gonna know? And this is where our over communication
is not good, because back in the day, you would
get a note from your doctor right saying, hey, here's
what's going.
Speaker 3: On, mister Marin. Yes, we just want to let you
know everything came back. Now a wonderful.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Now I've got the pathology report that I
can't understand right, and I'm in Greece in the parking
lot and about a half hour from where I live,
and I'm with my son, who is but I think
we're attuned to the point where he can kind of
nonverbal communication realize that it's something that's bothering me. And
I'm reading through the thing and I see the word lesion. Now,
I have a friend of whose wife just died, did
the funeral and all this. It was terrible. I saw
him and I think, and he told me she had
a cough. So, Billy Broomfield, I've talked about this on
the podcast. She had a cough fifty two years old,
fifty three years old, went so the doctor wasn't going
away and found out that she had cancer pretty much
everywhere in her body and had no idea and was
dead within six weeks. Wow, that was just now, just now,
And so you kind of see the word leads and
you go, what the fuck. So I'm driving home and
I'm quiet. My son's like, you're right. I go, oh yeah, yeah, no,
I'm good. I'm good. And I'm thinking, if this is
something I don't want to say anything to him, and
you know, how can I secretly do treatments? I don't
want to rock his world, and you know he lives
with me, and blah blah blah. I'm all this shit.
So then I go home and and and I'm driving Doug,
and I start to go, like somatic. You ever hear
like something like you start thinking about it. So then
you know, you watch a doctor show and somebody has
pancreat titus, and all of a sudden, you're going, god, damn,
my side fucking you know what I mean. It's a
somatic thing. It's your mind.
Speaker 3: Only when I watch porn, I'm like, gosh damn, I
got a heart on too, just like this guy.
Speaker 1: Right, That's all. But like somatic things, they would call
it psycho psychosomatic. The term I think it's a little
other people don't say that as much anymore, but just sematically.
So I'm thinking, I go, man, now my ass is
starting to like I go, even my ass will start
to hurt a little bit, right, And then I realize
it's about a fifty degree day and I still have
this the heated seat on high So I go, okay,
all right, A right, let me calm down here. But
you know, I noticed that as I'm driving, and I'm
starting to think, holy fuck, you know now, that must
be it. That must be the cancer coming out. I
don't know what it is, my ass. So I go
home and I had not been going to the bathroom
exactly correctly, not correctly, I can't see because you had
all this shit in your system. Yeah, but dude, it's
been a fucking week. I haven't actually take it longer
to get out a bowel. Movie mean really really well
right until today. Oh I shoit a fucking rope, but
not to do you like that? Talk right?
Speaker 3: So I will tell you really quickly. A few months ago,
I had to take somebody to uh what.
Speaker 1: Do you call it? The colin Oscar Colosky.
Speaker 3: And he was going to the doctor. He goes, I
haven't pooped in a while. Yeah, he goes, They don't
know what it is, and they go, you know what,
go to KFC, eat some garbage.
Speaker 1: I go, do you ever go to fast food?
Speaker 3: He goes, No, I go get a greasy hamburg get
some greasy chicken and see if that helps. Or take
some fucking fiber or something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, yeah, but go ahead. I'm sorry. So I
uh so, now I go home and I'm kind of
a little bit out of my mind. I go, man,
I don't know what this is. Now, all this information,
it's the pathology report, and now you have access to it,
and you have no education on how to read this
goddamn thing. So I put it in. I go ai ai, AI,
copy the thing, throw it in there, and it comes
back with you're fine, Yeah, hey, join the club of
people you've had cutting paste. Put in AI, and please
tell me this. I just say, like, you know it,
put this this, put this in language I can understand.
You know, I'm not a doctor. And then boom and
basically they go, Bill, you have now joined the club
of people who have had polyps removed and are fine.
Had you waited eight to fifteen years, you may have
had a problem. And so I go, okay, this is
this is great. But and then it breaks it down.
This one means it had They were both really really tiny,
and they were both you know, one was a very
common polyp that that is pre cancerous but slow growing.
The other one is a little could be a little
more aggressive, but still another five to fifteen and I
had jagged edges, but nope, they got it all on
your fine cha. Yeah. And so then today today I
get a think from the doctor and it says, hey,
your bill, no, no, no, no, let me tell you something.
I will say, this health insurance. You gotta get to insurance.
And that's a tough one. And that is why I am.
I doing another job and I to where I'm working.
I go They're like, well, you know, but I go,
I don't care about your money. And I know that
sounds really really shitty of me to say I don't
need your money. I need the healthcare they have and
it's great healthcare. So I'm like, fuck, man, I'll do
that to whatever you want. So yeah, So basically it's like, hey,
they were both benign, you're fine, blah blah blah. And
I go, why doesn't that just come right? Not the
other thing? Because I gotta think, like, we live in
a world now where you just.
Speaker 3: No fifty three four fifty four, yes, now what about
somebody seventy four right eighty four? They're going to try
to get it on their phone. They can't even get
pictures of the grandkids, mos of them, or they try
to get it in their email and then they got
to call Susie to come over and blow it up.
And then, you know, I feel sorry for that.
Speaker 1: You know, when was the last time you went to
a doctor? Honestly, I don't say it. Okay, all right,
all right, okay, this has been a long time. It's
been a long time now. There are many many I.
Speaker 3: Am actively not really, I am looking for a doctor whatever.
I did just get New York State Health insurance.
Speaker 1: Awesome, yes, very.
Speaker 3: I kept hearing commercials, my friends, my age were bugging me,
so I signed up. I have it good finding a doctor.
I have a couple of leads I just haven't followed.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 3: But if anything happens, car acid, anything you got, I've
got the thing in my pockets.
Speaker 1: So the only reason I bring that up is a
lot of men don't live as long as women, especially men,
because they drive us to the grave. Well they could.
I saw an old Bobby Slaton, but that I texted
him about the other day because he's mentioned in the
Epstein files. Oh no, oh, yeah, he's mentioned in the
Epstein files, just as he in one of them. He
says something basically is, I'd love to go to dinner
with you and Woody Allen. But I'm on my way
to the shithole of comedy Rochester to York. I was dying,
but then I was showing my kid a piece of
my kids laughing his a off, And I go this
material from almost twenty five years ago holds up today
and it's a lot of what marriage and what are
you talking about? But most married guys for sure live
longer because they have a wife nagging them or or
or pushing them politely to go to the doctor and
be checked out. You don't, I don't really anymore. I'm
on top of it. I got kids, I want to
be here. I got a lot of shit. I feel
like I need to accomplish it before I leave the planet.
But here's the story that I think would discourage many
men from going to the doctor. Oh yoh yeah, male practice.
Well there's a guy, uh general practitioner. He has had
his medical license suspended after multiple male patients accused him
of sexual misconduct during exams. Let me go into what
these men are claiming that this doctor did. And then
I have a lot of questions, but we'll start with this.
According to the petition, this guy, doctor gurgis is accused
of watching a patient ejaculate in order to provide a
semen sample. He watches it. I I've never heard of that.
Usually they send you to Okay, what grabbing a patient's
penis during a prostate exam? So he's got a finger
up his ass and he does that telling a patient
he needed to perform Wait, listen to this now. I want,
I want, I need you for a moment. Okay. I
don't need you to act this out, Okay, I just
need you to put yourself. You're in a doctor's office. Yes,
you're in a doctor's office. They've asked you to get down.
You're in the gown. You can keep your underwear on,
and he can keep your socks on. You look very sexy.
And he comes in and says I need to perform
a stretch test and then grabs your penis and starts
tugging it back and forth. What do you? I are
you questioning this?
Speaker 3: Are you gonna make a blue and animal out of this?
I think there's clowns clown guy.
Speaker 1: But the thing is like, we we don't know, just
like the path. I know, I haven't been to a
doctor in forty years. I know I haven't even seen
anything like that, No, or heard about it. No, but
this doesn't coming to start. No, not a guy, right exactly.
But my point is this just like the pathology report,
where I go, I don't know what I'm looking at.
I don't know what all this means. I think you're
half naked on a table and the person with the
white coat is the authority, So you don't really question it, right,
But that's fucked up? Like he starts yanking me back
and forth, spending approximately ten minutes on a genital examination.
Speaker 3: I don't think I have ten minutes to jump to
look over five minutes. Yeah, when you had seven and
a half minutes, I think that's done.
Speaker 1: You did have a rectal exam.
Speaker 3: Exam was, but it was really weird. He goes, you
might feel some pressure. I go, yeah, I go, but
why are both your hands on my shoulders?
Speaker 1: You you hold that thought for a second, because another
thing this guy's accused of is using more than one
finger to perform a rectal and prostate examination. Let me
get in there. Yeah, I mean wow. Uh, then failing
to tell some patients he was about to insert his
finger into the rectum. I had that happen. It was weird.
I was at my dentist. This one hurt a bit.
We've done me yep uh. Failing to wear gloves during
genital and or prostate exams, now that's just kind of sense. Well,
I'm not going to put a glove on a stick
unless he's going later. Hey, doc, I hope you're not
a nail butter. It goes down with whip cream. I
think there's something wrong. In December, according to the petition,
he was found to be grossly unprofessional grossly unprofessional conduct.
And I go, that is the most corporate way to
describe I mean that that that phrase is doing a
lot of pr work because you say to me, he
was grossly unprofessional conduct. I go, what did he wear
crocs into surgery? I mean what I'm saying it was like, no,
he stuck two fingers in your asshole and goes hey.
Speaker 3: And you know how many reports does it take for
him to get looked at? How long did it go on?
How long does it take to evaluate.
Speaker 1: Started being a doctor in two thousand and eight. This
just happened in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: That's seventeen years, right, yeah, five twenty twenty Well, whatever,
oh fifteen sixteen years, yeah, yeah, so long, who's the
first one that's going.
Speaker 1: To blow over? I don't know that. This is my point, right,
Like we trust doctors because you've got the lab coat,
you're the authority, right, And I'm like, holy crap.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean even if you google what
to expect during a prostate exam.
Speaker 1: Well you know, yeah, right, does.
Speaker 3: Everybody usually have seven shots at tequila before they be over?
Speaker 1: But I mean even some clear communication. I'm going into
the rectal exam? Now, right, did they put you under?
Speaker 3: I thought you were going to tell me that somebody
knows under.
Speaker 1: They do do that, though for for what rectal exams,
for the prost for the king calling, Yes they can.
I was numbed up, yea, but somewhat loucid numb them.
But yeah, I mean I would want to be out,
but i'd want somebody I know in the room.
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't want to take advantage of this.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think they're you're in much danger because
there's a lot of cameras that they can all see.
This is a private practice where you know, go in
for a physical element, and I don't think in New
York State. Any I don't know what the laws are,
but I don't think they do prostate exams and physicals anymore. However,
this is another state. I don't know what they're what
theirs are? You understand what it was Indiana?
Speaker 3: Oh god, they just carry Indiana as a music man.
Speaker 1: They're getting the bears, I know. But that transparency reduces
trauma saying I'm about to enter your ass. Let's you know,
I mean, you would be that politely to if you
had somebody over the house. Yeah, at least a glass
of wine. Let's play doctor. Go to the whole new
level playing doctor. I yes, I I just you know,
no nurse ratchet. Just well, anytime a medical exam uses
the word stretch test, that's not a medical exam. That's
creative writing. That's not that is not what somebody starts
pulling your penis. Well, and that's the thing. But I go,
we mistake authority for legitimacy because he's the doctor. So
I'm gonna go and take you for example, just you've
said I've been there in a while. You go in,
we got new preciadures. Now we're gonna do a stretch
TXT grab.
Speaker 3: Your crank and see how far it goes across the room.
Bend over and everybody's gonna pick a finger. Yeah, oh god,
I rides downstairs.
Speaker 1: Well. The other thing is like, if you have to
override your gut because of somebody's credentials, that's submission, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Really well, I have to I have to meet a
few doctors. See who I like, who I'm comfortable with.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the other thing is I think, what
what you just said? Okay, because I don't think I've
ever really done that. I've had the same doctors since
my twenties.
Speaker 3: That's good, Yeah, it is if you're comfortable with them.
Speaker 1: Yes, But I think like shopping and being the consumer
is really important because it's you and you want to
have the best for you, and you want somebody you
can be honest with and comfortable with, right, which is
not always easy because you know, I just had the
physical and he goes, uh, how many drinks yet you
have a week because he's still the two to three
beers a week. And I stayed silent for a while
and then he goes, what is it right?
Speaker 3: And I said, that gets sent to your room right now?
Speaker 1: And I go uh, he goes, Is it more? Is
it other things besides beer? I said, it goes wine?
I said, yeah, yeah, probably Like yeah, he goes, So
what are we talking? Three beers two glasses of wine
like he's feeling.
Speaker 3: I look at a banger or now, I mean, if
I'm just a beer at home, or if I'm out
trying to get you into your drawers, then I'm going
to load you up on shots and guinnis. I'm gonna
take you home and probably a bloody marry in the
morning because.
Speaker 1: You're so fait.
Speaker 3: I enroll you out at that.
Speaker 1: Explain it to my son. So what do you want, doc?
So he said, So I go, yeah, that sounds good,
and then I start going to my head. Shit, when
Jimmy Fallon was in town, I drank twenty twenty six
according to that math. Fucking unbelievable. All right, we will uh,
we'll take a moment.
Speaker 3: So what was your final answer for what for drinking?
When I stayed with the three to three beers and
two doctor, Yes, you're not.
Speaker 1: Supposed to You're just You're supposed to be honest. I
have a good report and talking it's all about trust.
Speaker 3: And then you go in the next time, and you're like,
my god, you're I'm sorry, Bill, mister ran your test
came back in your liver and just you.
Speaker 1: Told me only in three or four a week. This
looks like you've been drinking a case of beer and
meat for the past thirty years. Like, wait a minute,
did I tell you that? And oh? I thought you've
been five or six cases a week. I didn't. All right,
we'll take a moment, loneliness, loneliness, do you bring this
up for real? I don't know. I just happened to
read this article, okay, and you thought of me. I
did not. Oh good, I did not, but I thought

Nothing and this was just at the no onset Of
parkinson's for, Him like he you, know there was still the,
ability but he was doing. Nothing AND i, Go, wow
what a. Difference, Yes so that's WHAT i get to,
That AND i think that's why THE Us Surgeon general is, saying,
yeah it is A i didn't realize it was a
public health. Crisis but chronic loneliness is linked to, depression heart,
disease and increase. Mortality but most most of the stuff
focuses on the, individual as you just need to get
better social. Skills and this, person who is a train,
sect he goes that ain't fucking. It that's not the.
Answer and here's the. Thing she started to write an
article on STUDYING bdsm.
Speaker 3: GROUPS, BDMS. Bdsm what do you, ever what's like a
barber shop quartet where you get together and you, say, Oh, madarlin,
no Madarl. In the spaks harder.
Speaker 1: Bonding, bondage, discipline, sadism and.
Speaker 3: Masochism, yes, yes my ex girlfriend was IN s AND.
Speaker 1: Ms, Okay so this, woman this woman writes that she
found something, surprising not just the sex, culture but, structured
recurring face to face interaction and not even like of
a sexual. Nature she, said these people were actually making
lasting relationships in this offshoot kink group that was helping.
Them and she said to the point where if people
had mechanical, problems someone from the group could was helping,
them making job, suggestions loaning, money just having a, network
just having a, network you, know AND i think of that.
OFTEN i, go you got to kind of have a
network of. People you need to be active in the
network of friends and things like. That you, know it's
a it's a reciprocal. Thing but how do you make.
Friends you make friends by, well just think about, this
the people who have come even as an. Adult let's
say it's somebody that you see every week when you're, bartending,
right and you just it's and it's a it's a
guy about your, age maybe, divorced single themselves, like and
you guys start, talking and the more you, talk the
more he starts to reveal about, himself and then you
start revealing things about. Yourself and that's how you make
a fucking. Friend AND i, go and this person's, saying
there isn't that? Anymore AND i have said for a
fucking long time on this podcast now THAT i think
one of the worst things about the pandemic was work
from home only because is it more? Convenient fuck, yeah
does it save you maybe some, money probably because you're not,
driving you, know every. Day but what do you make out?
On you miss out on, friendships you miss out on,
Mentors you may even miss out on romantic relationships that
sometimes come out of, work but not. Always but at
least those other two you know WHAT i. Mean and
how many people have you worked with over the years
that you no longer work with but you're still friends? With?
Speaker 3: Um that WOULD i have to think. About, actually my first,
Manager Kenny, Shoes Kirk. Condana, YEAH i just called him
on the way. Here, yeah that'll be off work the
next few, days come over and help me with the.
House but that's been nineteen eighty, eight so that's coming
in almost forty years and three.
Speaker 1: Years, yeah and that started as a work.
Speaker 3: Relationship, yes that's that's the largest. One But i'll tell you.
THIS i Think i've sold this. Before there was a
bus trip WHEN i was working wind, jammers and they
all came back in the bus and somebody left this
big rush and babushka furry, hat AND i put it
on my head AND i started Doing Rodney dangerfield in.
RUSH i, know, ife she's on me every TIME i
come home, better it says.
Speaker 1: Quick out the.
Speaker 3: Window So, mark the guy that just got, married is
listening and laughing his ass, off and we started hanging.
Out he, goes, dude he, goes you just sound just
like my. Grandparents let's have, it you, know drinking a
couple of days going over, here AND i mean just
instantly bonded like, that and we got to know each.
Other and he, goes you, KNOW i didn't know how
to take. You sometimes you're, this sometimes you're, that and
then getting to know me is LIKE i get it,
now especially working.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so AND i was telling that story at the
Wedding turks And. CAICOS i, go that hat was a game.
Changer sure if that hat wasn't, HERE i, mean ten years,
Later i'm at his wedding on this beautiful beach with all.
Speaker 1: These beautiful butt and also that's the beauty of. Life
but the other thing is if had you not built
and had the confidence to build the breast cancer, thing
that wouldn't happened, either, right, Right so that was the
opportunity to be face to face with People you've built
a community that supports your efforts to do. That, yes
that's how you make. Friendships And i'm not trying to
get all preachy and see, it BUT i was shocked
at THE Us Surgeon general, goes it's a health it's
a chronic health.
Speaker 3: Problem, WELL I i don't LIKE i get, emotional but
you know my MOM i always you, know you have some,
friends you can go out for. Lunches she never want
to do, them LIKE i gotta get out and they
do because it does a little bit once a, month,
yes but she never watched she wants WATCH, tv smoking at,
home the dog there and just, yeah so and that's you,
know some people don't like to go, out some people
don't want to interact. Them you, know it's, just, yeah
not everybody can be like. Me, obviously somewhere on that you,
know somebody that's miserable all the time compared to me
THAT i would think mostly happy all the, time ALTHOUGH
i had my, moments but you, know telling, jokes there's
a somewhere in between that you can find your. Happiness
and you know it's not going to. Bars you can
go to A Red wing game by, yourself an amag
game by, yourself go to movies by, yourself, right you,
know just even to get out, there just to see other.
PEOPLE a lot of times when you're in the, LIBRARY i,
mean just think about take a ride In Niagara, falls
go to the. Casino you, know just new, restaurants lunch, places, coffee.
Speaker 1: Shop you, KNOW i used, TO i mean used to
make fun of like, bowling leagues and. Things AND i always,
go it's the only sport that you can get better
at while eating nachos and drinking. Beer you know WHAT i.
Mean it's, like it's the only as a lot of,
fun a lot of, fun a lot of, friendships a
lot of, connection made you feel, good you looked forward to.
Speaker 3: Something, yes right now we've Replaced, FINALLY i can't do this.
Anymore i'm getting too drunk every.
Speaker 1: Week, okay but what? Happened don't? Drink i'm, like, well
why WOULD i? Bowl? Yeah the? Reason but it was,
Fun yes it, WAS i got. It and that's that's
What i'm. Saying we've replaced that with scrolling on our fucking,
phone looking at ship that we can't, achieve jealous of somebody,
else making up conversations in our. Head AND i, go,
YEAH i fucking get. This AND i think it's a bigger. Problem.
Speaker 3: UH i, MEAN i think the scrolling on the phone
And facebook and instagramming is it's. Step it's not. Terrible, no,
well yes and. No there's pros and cons. Everything so
if you post something as somebody likes you so buty's
in your circle, now so somebody's noticing me even just
to like that you're not home all, alone, right you
know WHAT i? Mean SO i, mean, yes IF i post, something,
WELL i THINK i might.
Speaker 1: Might get more.
Speaker 3: Likes but there's a few people THAT i knew were
bitching and being not. Sneaky But i'm, like, YEAH i,
mean look at this and they have a dozen posts
and nobody's liking them or they have one thumbs, up
And i'm, like that's so. Sad what is this person to?
Wonder they're so miserable and. Sad guys from working in
the in the, bars and you wonder about people and you're,
like because people are.
Speaker 1: Like what is her? Story i'm, LIKE i don't think
you want to know, that or you, know what's his?
Speaker 3: Story i'm, like you, KNOW i don't really want to
say that to them BECAUSE i don't know them that.
Speaker 1: Well you know WHAT i.
Speaker 3: Mean they might want to hit on them or have
a drink with.
Speaker 1: Them what do you?
Speaker 3: Think i'm, LIKE i don't don't take it from, me you,
Know i'll find out for myself and Then i'll relay
it to. You and the closer you're, IN i, mean
If i'm out with a stranger or somebody asks me
about SOMEBODY i don't, know but if you ask me
because we're a, friend and be like fucking, nuts don't
don't even don't even, engage don't even look over because
it's a.
Speaker 1: Nightmare, right they're gonna latch on and, yeah, Yeah BUT
i want you to also think about. This, People this
is And i'm very. Important let, me let me just
look at the camera. Here this, this this is such
a crisis that THE Us, JOURNAL Us search And general
has come out to talk about. It and loneliness increases your.
Mortality SO i want you to remember this annoying motherfucker
at work that has talked NonStop about his fantasy football
league has kept you, alive you lonely Fuck when we
go off, There i'm gonna show you SOMETHING i got last.
Speaker 3: Night oh, YEAH i can't put it on air. Bend that's, loneliness,
right it's.
Speaker 1: TOUGH i, mean Well i'm seeing, that AND i don't
even mean to make like light of. It but we
optimize convenience because of the pandemic and things, now but
we've lost. That you're avoiding, traffic but you're also avoiding hallway,
conversations people not going out for the first. TIME i
think in maybe, ever the liquor industry is taking a
percentage hit in terms of people not buying or. Selling
not Just i'm not even just saying, Bars. DOUG i,
mean like the.
Speaker 3: They have reasons for that that the younger crowds are
doing gummies or edibles AND i don't have to go
to a. BAR i can just pop this and sit
at home and be numb or high for two hours
and not.
Speaker 1: Drink but that's that's where there are liquor.
Speaker 3: Companies somebody Said Jim beam's going under because of all the,
tariffs and they're not coming in A us. Anymore i'm, like,
WELL i just saw this. Report there's seven thousand whiskey
companies and at the bar you're selling the same. Seven
that's why somewhere going. Under they're not trying as.
Speaker 1: Much.
Speaker 3: Now you go to bigger cities Like miami And, atlanta
they have tequila, bars bourbon, bars and there are a
few people that come in and try different, Bourbons but
we only have six or, Seven so where are the
other seven thousand, selling you, know across the. Nation and
then if you don't sell you get a fold.
Speaker 1: Up it's, right but we. DON'T i think a lot of,
times and even my.
Speaker 3: Drinking i'm, sorry BUT i mean the older people used
to go out for a happy hour after work and
then go. Home that's. Dwindled that's. Gone you know the
day Before thanksgiving where everybody went out and partied because
they got everybody's got the day off, after that's gone
down That it was used to. Be The friday Before
christmas was a top four day to, drink but that's
when everybody get Their christmas bonus and we go spend
a little, bit drink and then go. Home that's. Gone
there's no More kodak. Bonuses, well stuff like that are big, companies.
Speaker 1: Factories AND i understand it, too BECAUSE i think another
factor in there that we're not really addressing is the
loss right for drinking and. Driving they've gotten much stricter
over the years and much more, expensive and so maybe
so absolutely. So, Yeah so maybe some people have gone,
like WELL i can't go. Here here would be my b. Uber,
yes one hundred per.
Speaker 3: And that's a save if even forty dollars their way
six grand on the, lawyer it is six you're talking
ten to twelve. Minimum, yeah and then getting this thing
in your car you have to blow into every, time.
Speaker 1: Right and you got to pay for.
Speaker 3: That you got to pay for that and your classes
and to go through the tests all over.
Speaker 1: Again. YEAH i thought the whole thing Was i've gone
not me, personally BUT i have been through it with
someone and, UH i, KNOW i just know what the lawyer,
costs and then all the additional things have. Right BUT
i would say on the other, side there's also lots
of studies that come out now that, say, uh drinking
is you, know so? Bad and even just one and
it leads to cancer and. All there's a lot of.
Studies there's a lot of. Things and by the, way
whether these studies are legit or, NOT i haven't looked into,
them BUT i hear people saying them on social, media
where most of us are getting our information and not
double checking. It just like the doctor that was given
the stretch test because he's got a lab, coat like we, go,
OH i don't fucking. Know maybe he's. Right my point
is kind of questioned these, things and even if it,
is you know, what young, people your fucking liver's, fine
go out and meet and talk and don't do. This
and because it was all third party places where you
met and made, friends, bowling, leaks, hobbies, churches, right all
those things are. Down why are churches? Down, well probably
because The Catholic church did a wonderful job of pr
on how they just fucked over, everybody, Right and SO
i think a lot of people were turned off by. That,
Absolutely And i'm not just saying The Catholic. CHURCH i
think churches in, general every faith is. Down but you
could still go and meet people, there and those are
the things THAT i.
Speaker 3: Think, WELL i think one of the things, is well
the pedophiles or whatever you hear the story is taking
my kid there and then your parents make you go
there for twenty, years and then you get out of the.
House you're, Like i'm not going to, church and there's
so much to the point you don't want to keep doing.
Speaker 1: It, YEAH I i did this for twenty. Years i'm.
Speaker 3: Good, no my parents made, me, yes you, know and
that's the thing they made.
Speaker 1: Me But i'll tell you, what like, dude going back
to school right for grad school and being one of the,
oldest if not now the, Oldest i'm not. Sure in
there has been a spank in your. Erasers, NO i told,
YOU i told you off how hard this has been for,
me not, academically but just.
Speaker 3: Learning, yes it's not even the, learning, duggets it's going Through,
no it's.
Speaker 1: Learning how how what went? On? Right AND i wait
for it went trauma and all that, stuff and how
you carried it forward and the damage that you did
to the people that you brought to the. Planet it's
like it HAD. I i had to just like back
away for a brief minute and then, go oh, God
i'm fucking losing. HERE i got to get back in the,
race you know WHAT i? Mean BECAUSE i was falling
behind on. Stuff and it wasn't LIKE i. WAS i
was still going to the classes and, things but, man
it fucked me. Up AND i think, that but just
being around other people that are also in the same,
boat realizing it's a shared human. Experience whatever you're, in
everybody's sort of feeling the same. Way and just BECAUSE
i think in my life and probably yours as, well
you always like the, message whether it was really worded
this way or, not was everybody's got. Problems no one
who wants to hear. Yours so you put on a
face and you just go about your life and people,
say how are you going? Great we're, fine you, know,
hey how's it going? Good and you don't say, anything And.
Speaker 3: I'll say something of the right, person, right but also
having a good, Listener like some people just start spewing
stuff on me AND i don't say, anything LIKE i
can't believe you're listening like. It sometimes you just need
a good. LISTENER i get. It, Yeah i'm not changing your, world,
no you, Know i'm. NOT i don't have all the.
Answers you just got to release a.
Speaker 1: Steam yes you, do because, otherwise, yeah you can. Explode
you got, It AND i JUST i don't. Know i'm,
like you, know we we say things like the new
term that is often uses self, care self, care take
care of, yourself go to the, gym do these. Things
i've heard, them but well it might help you cope with.
Things but it's the infrastructure of a third party. Place
it doesn't have to be a. Bar it could be
a club or. Hobby there. Is but here's the weird
part is like a lot of these things are just
sort of, online and we're a little turned off by
your haircut. Online that's a perfect. Place, yeah you. Know,
hey good, point, dude really good. Point i'm just saying
THAT i think that there's.
Speaker 3: Options and if it drops you to use those options or,
not you. Know and it's the same way with losing,
weight quit, smoking quit drinking if you want, to you,
know go on vacation if you want to stop gambling
and do something, different. RIGHT i MEAN i was down
there AND i do gamble a, lot And i'm, like,
Gosh i'm wasting WHAT i could go to a cruise
or something so some new you, know just to get
out even by.
Speaker 1: Myself do they still do things like singles?
Speaker 3: CRUISES i think, so But i've heard it's a sausage.
Fester it's all guys or you, KNOW i don't know
if they even it.
Speaker 1: Out, Yeah but what about Like i'm hearing like there's
more singles outings because people are sick of even like
the online, dating because you're kind of fishing from the same.
Pool and by, THAT i mean you see the same
pictures on all of. Them, well here's What i'm exactly
because Those i'm not saying that there are more single
people out. There those are the brave ones to put
themselves out. There it takes some moxie to do. THAT
i THINK i really, do because you face rejection and. Judgment,
yeah and it's not even fun, no, right just that feeling,
it just in terms Of i'm putting. IT i, go
that's not even that's a little fucked. Up SO i
think they're starting to do things where you get to
actually talk with.
Speaker 3: People i'll tell you somebody liked me on one of
the dating sites this within the last two. WEEKS i
saw Your. Robbies you're really. FUNNY i, go thanks a.
