• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Pickupball Tournament. This is the fourth annual. This year. I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: actually have to sign every time I know we're not
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: filming this one. I had some glitches of my cameras.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I haven't filled a couple in the last few months,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: but it was always that sign was always behind my
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: big fat head. So wow, they probably don't see it
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: behind my big fat head. But welcome back and thank you.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Glad to see this thing is still going strong. And
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I think we were on for the first annual I remember.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Right, No, you were No, you were great, because, yeah,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: you helped me out and gave me some great advice
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: besides being on a podcast. Yeah yeah, and we got
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: some support out of that. But you told me, you know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: chrest first year is always tough. Yeah, after that you
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: kind of figure out what's going on and from where
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: it went from that June third, twenty twenty three, which
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: was more of a party, kind of thanking people for
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: teaching me how to play pickleball there in Covid, right,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and we raised a little money for the city. The
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: next year we decided, well that sounds good, let's try
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: to raise a little bit more, and we raised about
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: seven thousand dollars for Camp Happiness, which is just a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: great Milford public I mean Milford recreation event or seasonal camp.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I mean what they do is really great. It was
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: great because we had them all, some of them come
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: down that were in the camp and all get them
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to pick the pickle ball paddles they wanted to take home,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and then we taught them a little bit how to play,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: so it was really.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: A special day.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but to raise seven thousand dollars for that, I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: didn't know all that much about it, except and then
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the next year, because each year I bring back who
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: we gave the charity to to tell us the people
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: that helped raise the money.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: That what it achieved.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And according to Marlene who runs it, I think she
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: gave out like one hundred scholarships for partial.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: And complete or something like that for that money.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: That was really good to hear that because it's right
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: in town and we have a lot of fun in
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the tournament, but to.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Give back it's a really cool thing.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And then the next year we did prepared to help,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: which has got to do with the Boy Scouts also,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: it's the food drive here and that went really well.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: We were able to raise five fifteen thousand dollars for them.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: That really helped because of the problems we had with
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the government shutdown again every other week. But yes, last
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: year they were able to pre buy a lot of
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the stuff, so it helped because people needed it more.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: But again it stayed within the community and it's helping
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: people that need a leg up, right. And then this year,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I mean last year I learned that I was doing
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: all this wrong. When a nice lady said to me,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: you know how much money are you looking to raise
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: last year? Chris, and I said basically whatever I get
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: because it I don't know that much about it, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: she goes, no, you have to say what you're going
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to raise.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: So this year I went out on the.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: List thermometer right right, yeah now.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Because you know, she said, people might help you at
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the end, but if you don't know what you want
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: to raise, people aren't going to help you.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: So she was LORI price. She was great.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And this year I stated that I was going to
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: raise twenty thousand dollars dollars and somebody I played pickleball
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: with called me and said told me last year that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: he has a foundation that he's on and they look
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to give money.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: So I wrote a solicitation letter.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: To the foundation, and uh, it was well received because
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: we're doing it this year for Bethel and we're going
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to raise twenty thousand dollars and they were nice enough
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to give us five thousand dollars, which is just a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: real good beginning spot. Kickstart right, it's I'm sorry I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: got out of my email, all right, be right there.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, five thousand dollars is a great, great start to that.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Oh and I always feel like when you know, there's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that that big donation and you know other people would
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: mean see it, and you know they kind of it's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: like a snowball effect, like oh, they left that much,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you know, and I'm like, yeah, you know, I actually
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: we have a friend that is funny. He was on
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a group text message about selling Zuo Party's pizzas for
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: his kids, like little League team, and it started with
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: one guy buying one and then one guy buying two,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and then I'm hopping on buying four and everyone was
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: like outdoing each other.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It was just ten dollars a pie. But that's how
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of these charities, you know, build and grow
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: is also competition. I think people like to be a
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: high bidder almost.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And the nice thing is is someone reached out to
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: me seeing that we were doing a good thing. Yeah,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: not looking for anything. And I got to be a
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: person to write a letter of solicitation, which was great.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: But it got me more to learn about Bethel because
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I asked the question to Bethel, and you know Bethel, well, yeah, okay,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And I wrote to Peter and Thomas the Petro Fond
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Trade Dation, and Peter was a Milford person that lived
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: here did a lot of good things, and his son asked,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: and they did this foundation that gives away money to
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: very good medical things, I mean medical places. They did
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: tunnels to tunnels to towers, they did wounded warriors, they
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: do things so to be able to, you know, get
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: five thousand dollars from there, because within I asked Jennifer
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: over at at Bethel what that would five thousand dollars
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: contribution could do for her, And it can shelter five
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: families for the year.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Wow, it could supply one hundred and fifty meals.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Per day for three weeks, and it could support outreach
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: for the transition of homeless veterans into housing. So that's
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: really stuff that you know, touches my heart to besides
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: us to charity, because they're helping people that need a
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: leg up, you know what I mean. And what I
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: found one than the pick a ball community is that besides,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: they're pretty competitive, right, and they're fanatical on like other
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: people on golf and on tests and all that. They're
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: pretty fanatical. They're a very nice group of people that
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: do want to give back and help people. So from
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three when I was here saying.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Oh Jesus, I mean right.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: My hardest time now is to get players to play,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: to believe it or not.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: But raising the money part is easier for me than
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: getting setting up.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Setting up the tournament as wow, and the tournament's I
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: got my cutoff. I think on Sunday, I want twenty teams.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: It's different now it's it's still co ed right, and
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: it's over forty I had to bring it down to
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: forty five from forty five and this year because last
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: year we had it indoor at Shoreline because they're very
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: nice support of me. When it rains, they'll let me
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: have it that day because instead of a rain date,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I won't get very many people there because there's vacations.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: And everything in June. So Shoreline's great.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: And we looked at things and I was watching people
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and people would come off and say, Chris, we need
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: a better competition, or other people come off and say,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Chris the security event.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: We're here. We're gonna having fun.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: But I brought somebody and she doesn't want to keep
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: getting hit in the chest with the ball so hard
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: every single time, we're not going to win.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: So this year I'm splitting it up to I call it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I think it's the flame.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Thrower the heart not harder one, but it's I'm telling
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: people that that's where you want to play really hard. Right,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you don't mind getting hit in the chest because that's
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: a lot of the game that now, right, besides dnking,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: it's changed a lot of launching it and if you're
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: not expecting it, it's not a fun, charitable experience.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I might start playing now, but that's so fun.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Oh no, it's launching, man, I tell you.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: And then we have a dink and play, which is
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: just as competitive, but the understanding strategy and here you
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: can play without worrying about it.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: So I'm looking for some more players. But it's really
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: going well, and I want to come back.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Two divisions, the flame throwers and the DN and dunkers.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, something like that exactly. Yeah. And it's for
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: a great cause.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And yeah, Bethel Center is one of the one of
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: my favorites. They've been on the show a few times.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: They do really good work. And I mean Paul Heally
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: was an alderman in town. I asked him because I
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: want to try to give it to different charities. Course,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and now that I'm getting some larger dollars, it's easier
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: to go with a real a charity.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: That's a five years I know what you mean.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: You know I wanted to not because people can move
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: money from different places without tax consequences.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: That's really what it is. So it's just great.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Paul told me about it, and I met with Jennifer
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and I was like, wow, this is great, and my
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: wife and I discussed it and it's like, okay, this
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: We want to continue to do what we do and
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: this will just make it easier for people to donate.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: So it's been a great experience and I think we're
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: almost ten thousand dollars now.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, what's the date?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: The date is We do it like a golf tournament,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: except pickleball players can't drink and play.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: So we do a Friday night.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Why can't you drink and play because.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Court rules, it's not no, it's not court rules. You
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: can do it, but you're moving.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't recommend it, or the date can play those
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: people can play too, But so we do a Friday
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: night mixture, right that we get everybody around I have.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: The charity people come in and talk and stuff like that,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: because it's important to know why we're raising money and
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: where it's going. And all the money goes to the charity.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: There is no any in between. It's all raised, all
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: goes and then on Saturday the thirteenth is the actual
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: tournament up at Eisenhower.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Bill Garfield and Mike Doing were great with me on that.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it really helped me a lot on that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome. So I did a little research on
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: pickleball because I haven't really thought about it since you
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: left four years ago. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: you know this, but it's for the fifth consecutive years
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the number one growing sport in America. I was actually
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: going to ask you before I researched it, you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: is it still growing sport? You know, I know it's
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: on you know, some of the major networks. Now there's
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: obviously professional leagues and stuff, and you can also see that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know when the last you
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: were here. I don't think I had all the sports cards.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: So I started, I started.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I know you had a lot of sports.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I got back in in like
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and the collecting cards and trading and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you know, selling and whatever. So I'm like, I wonder
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: what the most expensive pickleball card is, So I googled it.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Of course, the easiest to find out.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: The new shoe was Joe Jackson.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Well, so it's a it's a twenty twenty three Leaf
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Pickleball Premiere Edition. So Leaf is kind of like the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: junior leagues of Tops and Pinkang. Okay, they don't really
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: how's the gum uh of tops? No of the no,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: they don't put them are now, you know, we cissified America.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: We can't do that. Her name is you may know her.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I've never heard of her. Her name is Annelie Waters
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Annalie Wallders.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I think was like twelve years old or fourteen years
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: old when she started kidding. She is unbelievable and an
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: extremely wealthy young lady.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Wow. So she her card. It's an auto an autograph.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: It's a one of one, which basically is the only
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: card that exists of that. You know, certain card sold
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: at an eBay auction for forty five thousand dollars.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I mean four years ago.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I think I mentioned this that I told my wife
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: that you'll start seeing people playing pickleball in commercials instead
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: of them playing tennis.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Or golf or whatever. You see it all dr And
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you a story.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: My good friend of mine. It was just a coincidence,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: but he did get me in the pickleball a little bit.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: His son is James Ignatowitch. He's one of masters and
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: all that. And you mentioned yes, and he's like I said,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: was he the shoeless Joe Jackson card. Yes, he's the
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: first p PA, i mean pro pickleball player to be
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: banned from the sport because he played in an unsanctioned
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: tournament in China. And now he's he is in control
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: of you know, he makes the fastest growing pickleball paddle
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: in the country. No, that's why he was in China
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: and stuff setting up, setting up all the labor.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: And all that.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: So it's kind of funny he can't pickleball in the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: pros right now because he's you know, just you know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: kind of asked.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Not to play.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: But his battle is like the fastest growing thing out there,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: and he's making a ton of money.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Pickleball is serious.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: With twenty four point three million players, and the reason
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: why it grows the year after year, and this is
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: kind of easy to understand, is if the players are
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: getting younger and younger.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: So I think.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: You're literally you're you were forty five and over when
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: you started this, right right now, you've already gone down
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: to forty. Right.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I went down to forty because people were, you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: the first time we had it over forty five.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: And then the night.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Of the social app the plate, a woman came up
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: to me and said, Kres, my husband got diagnosed from COVID.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: I'm clean. I need to play with somebody.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: And a guy that I know, James, he's like thirty
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: one and he's good at pick a ball.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: But I go, okay, you're in James. He came and
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: second in the tournament, so I could have been tired
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: and feathered.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: So I had to bring it down the forty to
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: try to let but I can't.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: My kids love pickle ball.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, uh, three of my three boys, well he
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: just one of my boys just moved to the other
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: side Delray Beach, but two of them live in Tampa
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and the one that just moved to Delray Beach and
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: my other younger son who has played with Tino Martinez
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: like a half a dozen times, which is and he
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: just signed up for professional old age pickleball.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Which is over what.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: It's I don't think it's celebrities pickle ball, Tino Martinez,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Tino Martinez, Oh, I think about your son, No, not
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: my son, Tino Martinez.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll probably probably fifty five right, the old yankey first,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: of course.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's kind of fun that they've got the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Masters Tour going now. Yea, you know they've already got
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: the Agacy thing going, you know where you know he
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: plays a lot.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: In uh events, Yeah, I know.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: It's so this is I actually wanted to bring this up,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: like when they started showing it on ESPN or whatever,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: it was always like these ex tennis guys and I
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know why I rubbed me the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: wrong way, but I'm like, I'm sure there's some fucking
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: characters out there that are really good at this sport,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and I feel if you just bring in Agasy for
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: ratings or whatever. I was like, just bring in bringing
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: like showcase the.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Guys that are playing. It's all marketing, man.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: No, I'd understand that, but I literally, Agassy, I'm good,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: turn it off. But if I you know, I've watched
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: a couple late night and it's it's the guys in
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the league. But like that, I would never watch Agassy
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: playing fucking whoever. I don't care.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Like but what you're seeing now, And again I'm not one.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: That's just me.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not one to do the YouTube and the watch games.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: And once in a while I flipping on. I don't
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: flipping on nearly as much now because James isn't playing.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: I would always like to catch this. Yeah, and I
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: have a life.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Is that the kids that are coming up are twelve, fourteen,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: fifteen years old now, so they're skipping the whole tennis
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: thing and they're going into the pickleball thing.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: And again there's ups and downs in sports.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: But with the numbers you just spun off, I mean,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: it's a dollar making machine right now and it's going
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: to continue because it's a social game. But on the
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: you know, and you see it's a social game by
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the advertisements that you're seeing now with every other kind
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: of you know, they're on a lot. But more importantly,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the younger kids are getting involved in it too, and
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: it's kind of because we're a big pickleball town.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: We've got lots of pickleball.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Courts, so you'll see, you know, kids that have never played,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: or older people that have never played starting to play now.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I mean I've played I don't know, about three months
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: ago with a ninety year old guy.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Who hit the ball really hard.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and he was enjoying and he picked
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: it up like six months ago, and then he got
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: a little you know, nutty.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: So he's there, you know, maybe playing six hours a day.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know, hey, but keeps them going right.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: A lot of people, I mean I must know, at
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: least from just the people I know through the association
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: that they have in the mornings, I probably know at
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: least nine people that are ninety years old that regularly
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: play this game because again, you know, you don't have
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: to move around a lot, and it's fun and most
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: of the time you shouldn't be hitting a you know,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: really hard at somebody like that. But you know, I mean,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: it's just a social thing more than how good they are.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: But in the four years that I've been playing now,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: because I didn't know anything about pick a ball until
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: about I don't know August of twenty two.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: People are getting better too.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, just like in tennis, and just I mean
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: people take lessons now. I mean Shoreline is thriving with
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: not just when it rains, not just in the winter time.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: People go there now because they can film their games. Yeah,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: they can hit cleaner shots. They want to play more
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: competitive so and then they have pizza socials and things
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: of that sort. So it's just the new thing that
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: is social and it's outside.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And I think also like the with the growth of
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the game and the younger the people are getting. You know,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the younger people are saying wow. I mean if I
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: get good at this, you know there is money to
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: be made somewhere. Or I think it's like any other
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: professional league. You have to be elite of elite, but
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's something. If you're good at tennis
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: and you can't make it, maybe try that instead. I
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I mean there's always been young people in sports, tennis,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: not as much because you know, pick a ball though,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I mean you've got guys that are in their thirties
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: and stuff still playing on the pros. I mean Ben Jones,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: who's the best player, probably he's in his mid late
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: late twenties, right, and he's they're already saying he's.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Old, because that's in any sport. I mean that's prime,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that's prime.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: He's still at the prime.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Thirty three to thirty four is kind of when is
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: unless you're Lebron James. That's when you're heading back down.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: And the opportunity.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Because the coolest thing about pickleball, I mean I've got
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: the inside luck I've met them, you know, not them,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: but the pro pickleball players. They're just the old surfers
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: of the seventies.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean honestly, they they're having the time of
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: their lives because there really isn't a lot of rules yet,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I e yeah, everybody, you know, I guess there must
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: be some rules because James James no longer can play
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: on the turn.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: On brim the MVP.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: But but marketing wise, kids make their own outfits.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Now and sell them.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: So it's with college sports, I mean with the nil
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I mean it's insane now how much.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a wild wild West.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: So I mean they've got this new one that looks
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: out outstanding. It's plattle paddle, I mean something. It's where
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: you play like a pick in a larger glass racquetball
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: place and you're playing pickleball against it and.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: You're hitting it off walls.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: And I've watched it and I'm like, oh my god,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: that would kill me. I mean kill me.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I actually play racketball all the time when I was younger.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then you get to a point where, you know,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: pickleball used to be where everybody sat at the net
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: and danked. But now because the pros and that they're
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: learning that being up at the net, there's a lot
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: in the I hand coordination that are out there on
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: pickle not not even the pros, just people that are
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: consistently playing it is really good.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: So that might help cognitive ways. I don't know.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: But they have a lot of fun because Eisenerhouer on Monday, Wednesdays,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Friday and Saturdays from eight to twelve.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: I have about seventy five to eighty people playing there
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: throughout that period of time. I heard they had four hundred.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: People sign up this year for that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Thursday for twenty five dollars really, and then out of
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: town it's one hundred dollars.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's a lot of money. The wreck
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: gets out of that.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: That's good for good. Yeah, I know it's real good.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Paint it or whatever. But that was like not that
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: was an idea from like.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Bill Wizanowski and that where and then the town took
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: it over.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: But that's how the whole thing started.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: People that were playing there said hey, look, more people
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: are coming. Let's organize this charge charge something town, right,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: And now the town runs it and everything like that.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: I mean they're making good money off of it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Like how there are times and four on the out
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: of towners too. Oh no, hey, buddy coming to Milford.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: And that's the nice thing. Well, the nice thing about
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: it is Eisenhower. Right, he's got eight courts and the
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: competition is good and people want to come so and
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: for one hundred dollars for six months, that's not bad.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's the thing too. I was just about
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: to bring up like it's a it's a relative. I mean,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: it's a cheap sport. It's an extremely cheap You need
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: a racket, a couple of balls, you know, get yourself
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: some nice shoes. You know that you're gonna for the.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Nice Yeah, I've learned what planter fascia.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to say, Oh my goodness, that's so
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: so painful.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it's I mean it's seriously, even
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: if you're out of town, you're paying one hundred dollars
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: for six months, you buy two dollars pair of shoes,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a racket for one hundred and fifty couple balls and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: you're good to go.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Right, and the balls break once in a while.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: But other people, there's probably plenty floating around, right.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: And what and again that whole Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturdy, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Thing up there. I mean, that's where I started.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I didn't know three eighty year old ladies would school
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: me and laugh at me. Yeah, and they're friends with
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: me now, I mean honestly, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: you know, they've gotten better.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I've gotten better. But you know, they're there every morning
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: at eight.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: O'clock during that thing, just having fun, and they're you know,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: their average age is probably.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Eighty one eighty two.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of the ones that's got a ninety.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I mean she's great, yeah, I mean, and she she
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: just has fun and it gets them out.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Of the house. I feel, I feel, I feel like,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure when i'm you know, if
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I make it God blessed to that age, that I
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: stay active like that and it could be golf or whatever,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: just get out of the house, you know. I just
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I know too many people at that age that just
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like when you lose the social aspect of anything,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you didn't necessarily have to be athletic and going out
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: and doing that. But even if you're just walking with
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: your friends and walking the dog and getting out and
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: staying active that way, your your mind stays focused and sharp.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: And what a great sport for something like that, you know,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: especially when it doesn't always have to be flamethrowers. You know,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: you just kind of sit there and get.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Back and you and any reasonable person isn't gonna you know.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, people want to win. I'll give them that, yeah,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: but it's just the pickleball game, you know what I mean.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: You can't take it too seriously or not.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: And I mean the greatest thing, just going about what
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: you said, is once you lose physical contact, humans aren't
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: like that. We need touching, We need verbal seeing, you know,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: verbal talk seeing.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Just talking on the phone and doing video.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Simulation is great, but it's you need that, you know
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: that thing.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: So I honestly think it makes people look forward to
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: doing stuff.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: So now the town does a really good job on
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: their recreation department.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: They do, Yeah, I mean, I don't.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Know how they do all the stuff they do.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: That's just not even the rec department, this whole town.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: There's always something going on. Uh, It's it's crazy. I
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: talk about all the time in this show, and especially
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: when I have the local guys on that you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: are supporting something like yourself. I just I can't keep
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: up with how many things go on in this town,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: you know, I know all the ones that are every year,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: you know, like from the tree lighting to the you know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the Pirate Day or whatever flowing. Yeah, yeah, the duck
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: but yeah, the ducks, and that was.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: A very good idea that yeah, yeah duck floating. Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: You know you get one hundred ducks going down or
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: a thousand ducks and it's five dollars.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty good deal. Yeah, it's easy.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the kids like it. Yeah, it's really good.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: It's fine to watch.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Them dump it over the over the wall there. But yeah,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: but back to that point, it's it's really It's one
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: of the reasons why, like, I don't think I'll, you know,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: ever move away or not have a residency here, you know,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: just because especially in the summertime, it's just so it's
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: just a great town. Milford really is. I'm glad I
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: ended up here.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I moved here ten years ago from Woodbridge. I'm very
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: happy I moved here. And it checks a lot of
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: my box is I get to see the waterp I mean,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: we got lots of restaurants.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Yep, you know what I mean.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, traffic's not bad most of the time.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I mean you got you know, the bus road, which
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: is everything you need.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: And we live in a pretty safe environment.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like coyotes and then you know, yeah, well.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: We do live in some wilderness, you know what I mean.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, are there bears?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: There might be beers orange.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Milford's a big town.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Milford's big. It's amazing how big Milford is.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Milford.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: My wife told me that Milford has the most exits
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: for its town than any other place on ninety five.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, is that true.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I believe so. And it also has the longest coastline
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: of any town in New England.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: That like the first year I did beaches reports, I
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: can't imagine.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: I couldn't imagine how.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Many beaches we haven't even and then you find out
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: ones that are like this big, yeah, about twelve feet
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: that have their own name to So it's kind of weird.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of beaches and uh it's cool though,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I mean it's I think we have the the second
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: largest green in New England.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: My wife told me that.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, just recently I learned that sitting at the police
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: department reading a magazine. I wasn't there for anything that.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, good. I wasn't gonna go there, Jeremy, I wasn't
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: gonna go there.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: But I remember why I was there. Maybe to get
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: my gun permit or something. I forget.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: That's a good thing to do.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, shotgun or pistol.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just picked up a block the other day
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: used but they're banning them. So I'm like, you know what,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: it was a good price. It was somebody had, you know,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: somebody somebody knew uncle passed away and it was in
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: probate and you know registered it though, right Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, that's.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: What I'm saying.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's a cliss probate. They you have to pay them,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: they give you a receipt and then they ship it
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: to a gun shop and you fill out all the paperwork.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: That's I mean, that's the right way to do it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, yeah, you gotta do it that way.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: And there's no there's no nothing.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not like taking the serial numbers off
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: or anything.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to make people sure I was helping
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: you out on that one.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I got a block.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: They're getting there, They're they're good, They're they're getting.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: To do October October first, is it really?
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Why? Is that because of the rapid action?
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the modification abilities. But you know, all nine millimeters
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: pretty much are the same. I've just never had one.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: My brother prefers them. I have a Ruger nine millimeter
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: that I like. But I just like, I'm one of
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: those guys like you fucking tell me I can't have one.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get one.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: You know, like you can still get them used.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: But starting October first, no new blocks.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: It's amazing, because you know, I'm a wealth manager. When
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: people start talking about banning guns, gun prices, I mean,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: gun gun companies go right through the road, and then
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: when they don't talk about banning it, gun companies come
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: down a little bit. So gun companies really do like the.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Whole Yeah, clock the absolutely.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, because people rush out and get.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Them because they're going to sell their whole stock of
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: them in this state now, and then they're just gonna
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: they're you know, it's like anything else. They're going to
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: adapt to it, and then they're gonna make them non
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: modificationable or whatever they got to do to make sure
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: they can keep selling it. It's just, you know, again,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: it's I think it's just government overreach as usual. And
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know, look.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: As long as I think as long as you're not
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: gonna shoot yourself, right, that might be me. But you
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: have a permit, you've I mean, you've got a license,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: you you issue them, you register them, and you know
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: how to protect yourself.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Man, That is our right.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: That is Yeah.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Guns don't kill.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: No, no, and you know it is. I don't want
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: to get in a whole gun conversation. But my action,

  Speaker 2: a little battle battle.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm here in Point is going to do pretty
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: good this year.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So last year was the first year wasn't down there.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I was. My friends bought a house in Laurel View.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, yea, they hit a jackpot with its home
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: is beautiful and that's very hard to do.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's like a family lives there, they stay there.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and their kids.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Well, this house was new and it's I guess it
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: was some lady that just you know, built it and
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: this is what she does, and she lives over for
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: two years and she says it she moves up the
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: coast and does it up there. So it's pretty brilliant. Yeah.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: So we were there. We had a great time. But
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: you know, part of me is like looking up the shoreland,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: like I missed the Bayview area where I used to live.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: The Bayview area is the best with the parade and
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the parade is the parade or something.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: The parade is something. Yeah, it's a nice here. Milford's
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: like we said, milf it's a really nice town. It's done,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: you know it. You know, the pickleball tournament and meeting
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: these people, it's changed the way I think about things.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: So it's been really rewarding. I mean was awful again
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: going back. Yeah, but it's the only reason why, and
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: that's a real reason why pick a ball is gaining
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: so much, because.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: You know, tennis and golf and all that.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, COVID saved golf, yeah right, Uh see, I
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: don't know if it saved golf. A lot of a
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: lot of golf courses almost went out of business before
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: COVID because because there just wasn't as much playing. Now
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: golf is bigger than it was.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe I didn't really think about it that way. I mean,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I know golf was suffering because there was a well
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of issues, you know, price.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Non deductibility of country clubs and stuff like that.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Well, the country club side of it, yes, I think
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: the the you know regular you know country clubs, the
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: you know, the grassy hills of the world, the orange
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I think they were fine.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Well, no, they'd always be fine, just because there's.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Only some tournaments and stuff. But you know, like yeah,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: like Racebrook used to be you know, thirty thousand dollars
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: a joint and now it's five thousand if you're under
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: forty or something.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I mean honestly, yeah, but you know,
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: I mean it's a nice thing.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: They had to address that, y yeah, no, yeah, I
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: mean you drive down a Fairfield and Grantwich. It's still
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: one hundred two hundred thousand dollars a joint.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Right, you know, because it's you know again it which I.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Think is an absolute ridiculous but you know, people have
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: that kind of money.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: So I had a buddy that's fathered belonging to wing Foot. Yeah,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: at twenty five, he was able to go in one
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year until he was thirty five. Wow,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: and then he became a full member on that. Because
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: you know, it's if you're thinking generationally kind of thing, yeah,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: I guess you do, you know what I mean. But
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: and if you have that much money anyway to do that,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: then I don't think it's going.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: To kill you. And I think with like places like that,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: because I had a friend that had a membership somewhere
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: out in Long Island and.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: US you I mean, what US opens there this year?
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Right? Yeah? Yeah, but this was just a what's the bitch? No, no,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: what's the really ritzy town over there? The uh, the Hamptons.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: So some course in the Hamptons, and you know, he
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: got to pass down from his dad and just kept it. It
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: was he was grandfather did into like this really low price,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: and then the place filled and they went reached out
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: to him and said, hey, you know, for two hundred
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars, would you give up your spot?
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: And he's like what He's like, yeah, He's like, I
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: don't even know that worked that way. He goes, yeah,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: we have it. We have to limit our guests and
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: we're at the limit, so we're just canvas saying everybody.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: He kept it.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Good for him.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like he didn't need the money, but he's like, fuck,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: this will be worth two million dollars and you know,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: ten years who knows.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: That's how Giants takes.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: It's like real real estate, you know, That's how Giants
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: stick has used to be.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: But now you got.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart now supporting President Trump, so you never know.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: I've had a lot of friends that are Giants fans, right,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: and it's just tougher and tougher.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I'm older, I'm.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it sucked.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Well, when they first opened that stadium, they went to
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: the PSL licenses, which were rocket shit. And you know,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: you think a PSL license. Okay, that's my seat, right,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I paid twenty thousand dollars per seat. That's my seat.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: And then the food fighters come to town. Nope, that's
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: not your seat right now, you know, And that's like
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: door dash.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Kids order a taco bell, Cerrero or whatever and it

  Speaker 2: costs them eight dollars to get it and it's only
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: a dollar.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they don't care. They don't care. I don't
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: get it.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: I don't get it.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I mean I could see, you know, food delivery in
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: a pinch. I haven't done DoorDash or whatever Uber eats
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: in a long time. Like the only thing we order
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: out from that's delivered is Silver Sands pizza. But they
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: deliver it themselves.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Right right right, so it always I don't mind delivering. Yeah,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: it's a very brilliant thing because that's what people do.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's like I don't think I've already excuse me
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: since COVID, Oh yeah, yeah.

• 40:07
  Speaker 1: glass of wine. Now we're doing like five dollars pints,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: which are usually eight or nine dollars any point. You know,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: they just donet rolled it out last weekend. I don't
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I don't have all the details that it got rained.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: I got rained out last week and so I didn't work.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: But and I just I've been seeing you know, a
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: lot of people are posting their happy hours. Now.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: I think it's you gotta get people in the sea.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got it, because you know what the main
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: and happy hour ends. They're not getting up and leaving. No,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: they're gonna stay, or they're gonna go to another bar.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: They're not in you know, three to six. They're not
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: going home at six.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: Well, right, and if they go there, they feel good.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: They got two beers or whatever.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Seven dollars. You just mentioned a seven dollars.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Seven dollars burger and they smile. It's a good thing. Yeah,
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, uh yeah. A lot of things are coming
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: back just because.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: And it should. The economy is weird, you know, and it's.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: Just it's it's it'll be all right.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Now you're you're in the money business, right, So the
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: way I kind of look at the economy now differently
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: than ten years ago when inflation was hitting is I
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: think it's a pylon kind of thing. I think it's
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: almost like it's it's collusion. I think, you know, the
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: price of gas goes up, or you know, they shut down,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: the Straits of Horror moves, there's a war and I ran,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: and like, you know, thirty seconds later, gas prices jump
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: a dollar. Well, I'm pretty sure we still had gas
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: in our reserves. And I feel when gas goes up
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: it's a free for all to oh my god, gas
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: is up. We can raise our prices now. Like, I
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: just think it's just this trickle down effect that it
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: justifies fucking making these business making more money. I don't
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: know if that's how it works. That's just a feeling
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: of mine recently. I don't think that's how it worked
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: in the past.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: But gas prices go up faster than they come down, right,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: always has been there, No, Yeah, the gas I'm I
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: just use that oil prices themselves are all based on risk, Okay,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I mean since the seventy to embargo, when you know,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: started our whole problem with gas in this country and
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: all of that, the Straits of hormos have been under
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: constant parage of course, okay, and the insurance companies like
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Lords of London printed money for years and years and
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: years by guaranteeing that safe passage on.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: Billion dollar boats.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of money, right, So when the Iran
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: thing happened, Lloyd's of London just said, oops, we're going
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: to raise our insurance.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: Prices like ten that automatically do it? Does it?
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: But short term you got to look out to November
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: and December spot oil prices they're lower.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: So again, this.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Whole thing could take a little bit longer, right, But
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: once we get the Straits under control and oil starts
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: to come through, and we make sure.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: The whole new thing.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: That people are saying we're going to charge tolls in
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: international waters, there's other countries that are saying that. Once
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: that gets taken care of, because you can't have that,
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: it's not the way the world works, oil prices will
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: come right down.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: Lloyd's of London's insurance will go lower than it was
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: before because there isn't a toll and there's no threat
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: of bombing hopefully. But more importantly, the Straits have had
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: to do with.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Making like Saudi Arabia and another country right there that's
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: on that side of the other side of the other
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: side of Iran. They're starting to finish or build pipelines
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: to the other side of their country in case this continues.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: So we're pumping more oil in the United States than
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: we ever have before.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: Joe baby drill is working, right.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Oil goes up because of political problems all the time
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: when it's got to do with military or especially the
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Middle East. So if we have one president, so if
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: his at a time, if his goal, well no, well
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: whatever he is, but it's just one at a time.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: There was one before him, there'll be one after him.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: It's an administration, right they want to have you know,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: the Middle East appeace.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: You saw that on his first trip. He went to
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: the Middle East. Because the Middle East, unlike Europe, right, which, right.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: They sleep a lot, well, they drink in the afternoon.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, but I'm just saying that what kind of
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: technology is There a lot of technology coming out of Europe,
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: but the Middle East got a lot.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Of money and they got the technology.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: They need the technology, and in this AI race we're going,
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: they want to pay for it because they want diverse away.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: From oil, right, So you look at it. If we
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: get the Middle East set.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Right, we're taking oil prices are gonna come down.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: Taiwan's gonna be.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Safer for us, not for their country, but for us
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: because we're on shoring all that stuff.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Look at Intel, it was twenty dollars eight months ago.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: It's one hundred and twenty today, closed or something like that.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're doing it here. That all is going
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: to help oil prices come down. It's gonna take a
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: little bit of time, right, but as soon as the
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: straits are open, right and rockets aren't flying and you
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: can see tankers go in there, yeah, I mean we'll
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: probably float back to seventy five eighty.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: And then as each day goes by.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Because guitar or was it guitar and it's it's one
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: of them. It's either the Emirates or the guitar left Opek.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: So now we don't have Venezuela and Opec. Now we
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: don't have another country in Opak. So the world of
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: the control of what oil prices are for the Middle
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Eastern oil is going to be effected because they're like, wait,
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: I can make more money doing this myself. Why am
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: I paying you to see what prices I should sell at?
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: So supply and demand, that's going to help oil prices
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: come down. So if the administration is able to end
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: this correctly, right, which is opening the straits and not
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: having a nuclear bomb, right, and other things, But that's
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: not my thing. It's concerned about the Straits and not
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: the nuclear bomb because that's never good for business. Is
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: oil prices will come down. It'll come down not simply
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: because the straits are open.
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: America is pumping more oil than we ever have before.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: We're a net exporter. We haven't been like that for
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: a long time. You know, remember I mean in the
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: nineties it was like ninety nine cents, then it went
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: up to you know, in two thousand and five it
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: went to four fifty or whatever.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: It all depends because of the Middle East. So here
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: if we can resolve that, and hopefully we do, because
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: A lot of movies I watched throughout my entire life,
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: and a lot of toasts I've heard all say, piece in.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: The Middle East, the piece in the Middle East.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Right, If we can get that, oil's gonna come down. Productivity,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: and we need energy prices energy because all the stuff
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: we're doing right now gobbles up so much energy it's unbelievable.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: And having it oil wind whatever, right, nuclear coal because
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: it's clean whatever, we need all of that. Or China
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: who puts in a new coal fat I mean new
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: coal burner right every other day practically, so they're not
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: polluting the world we are and come over our.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Head, does it right? It doesn't it.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: We don't have domes do well, well, the iron dome,
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: but other than that, we don't have the smoke goes
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: through wherever.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: So we're going to lose to them because we don't
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: have the energy.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: So once our politicians realize this, and I think a
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: lot of them are realizing it, that we can't go
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: without fossil fuel. Right, it's not like the seventies when
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: it was really dirty. You drive down Beachport, right, the
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: smoke stacks still might come out, but it's not dirty.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Naugatuck River and the Who's a Tonic aren't glowing at
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: six o'clock at night. I mean, as bad as we've
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: screwed up a lot of things, we've made things better also,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: So energy is very important to us not becoming under
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: a different control of another country, right, Yeah, I mean
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: it's because we can't win the tech race without the power, right, No,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: we can't. And you know, China is I don't know
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of things I read. You know, they own
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of our farmland. You know, they've infiltrated our country.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: They just arrested people. I heard today on the news a.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: Full outfitted Chinese illegals in full gear. I'm like, wait,
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: what was that in Chinese gear?
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: I didn't, it was just a passing day.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: But I heard that, and I'm like, wow, I mean yeah,
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: I mean it's like we got spies over there, We
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: do things there.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: It's been like that ever since the First War. But
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: they're getting real old, right.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: They're having more of a problem with their economy than
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: we are because COVID did.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: A lot worse to them, No matter what anybody wants to.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Say, it started it.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: They well, yeah, I would think so.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, but oil itself, China needs oil. They just
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: lost they're going to lose Iran getting it thirty percent cheaper,
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: and they already lost Venezuela going thirty percent cheaper. So
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: if we're doing more oil and we're now going to
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: ship natural gas and oil to Europe. I mean, energy
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: is what's going to fuel America's re industrialization. If we
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: don't have it right, all the things that we want
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: to do will be like the dot com bubble?
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah do you? I mean do you see these data
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: centers they're building and.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: I own I own some very good data center stocks. Yeah,
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: I've done very well for me.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Have you seen the energy these things consumed?
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: No, so AI is this power chips, hardware, software and
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: that stuff, right, applications and all that. And then the
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: fifth step is all the stuff like medicine that's.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: Going to get so good. But we're in the we're
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: not even out of batting.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: No, it's empathy emphasy stages right now.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: I mean what And everybody's worried that it's going to
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: take over.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Jobs it but still someone needs to run it, you know.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: But it's like this what And I've done a lot
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: because I invest money is from my families, right, I
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: have to know the research. I might not know where
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: the cloud is, but I know what it is, Okay,
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: I just I still don't know where it really is.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: I know it's on servers, just making a joke, but
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: to know AI, it's real quick.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: I'll teach AI real quick, simple.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, you've heard of tokens, you think bitcoin, right, Okay,
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: tokens are what it's created with, like the library of
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Alexandria on it.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: Then the other one is all your favorite Celtics games,
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: just only the.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: Shots you want to watch.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it, all those tokens right that where
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: the money is is breaking those tokens because there's not
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: visual on those tokens.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: They break into zeros and ones.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: Which the AI can read and they're able to condense
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: it through the cloud and neo cloud like core weave
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: to make it larger, larger, larger, smaller, smaller, smaller, smaller.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: Because AI is not artificial intelligence, there is no robot
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: that can think by itself yet or anything else.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: It's what we teach it.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: It's the large language that a lot of that data
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: centers need to do the energy. But if you follow
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: like in the video, because that the gentleman that runs
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: that owns I mean, the CEO of it just from.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: Long is really amazing.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Breaking it down is that as tokens are very expensive
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: to make, each day they become cheaper to make and break,
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: so that means people are going to buy more tokens.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: So in the world of AI, it is going to
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: be instead of entering stuff on the keyboard to make decisions,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: all you're gonna have to do is ask that to
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: already be done. That information is going to be done. However,
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: that person that used to be on the typewriter, I
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: mean the keyboard, is.
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: Still going to have to make a decision.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: So the people that are going to win the AI
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: race are people that can win, that can work with
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: their hands. Because we are in a re industrialization of America.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: We might not see it in Connecticut. Besides, like I said,
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: the apartments, right, but in the Midwest to south I
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: mean Louisiana, right, they're getting all these data centers. Now
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: people are upset with them. It's kind of like people
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: are upset with refineries. Nobody wants them in the backyard.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: But we now know we need more of them, right
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: to support the data centers that will be up in
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: the sky one day, right, but not tomorrow. But you
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: just look at the token process and the tokens are
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: being made cheaper. As that goes, it's going to get
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: easier and more more more of the AI getting more
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: information at a quicker place. And then it after the
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: compression of the of all that large learning information and
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: the zeros and ones are broken and stuff, then it's
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: got to go through all that stuff that you've seen
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: for twenty years of your life. Anytime you go buy
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: an empty building that wasn't done all that fibre optic.
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, now it's in use.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Now we can use that from two thousand because we
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: didn't have the energy or the technology for it then.
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: But now it's kind of like, uh am I boring you.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: No, It's kind of like a prism, right, like a kaleidoscope.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: It's broken up in the different lights. So you and I, right,
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: well you might be a little bit me. I'm a yellow, right,
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: I'm just I don't need my I need my information
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: in eight seconds, not negative five, right, Okay, so I'm
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: gonna pay a little bit less.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: I'm the same way. Right.
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: Then you have a.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: Blue line, then you have a then you have the
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: ultraviolet redline, which is the United States government. All of
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: that can go through the same fiber optics.
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: And because of.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: AI and the way they do it right, and like
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: a pollunteer software system, right, it can get there faster
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: and you can charge different rates because.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Of fiber optics.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: Is actually it was great in the early twos but
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: we didn't know we didn't have the energy or the
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: or what we needed to show how we could break
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: it up into cheaper levels to very light speed. Pay
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: me a lot of money for that information really quickly,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: right in the same tubes. So old telephone companies are
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: going to come back, and not the ones that are
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: doing not snat but like the old the old centritwel
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: century it was, they're called Lumen now Lumen right, they've
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: done nothing forever because they were a phone company. Now
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: what they own those cables and but they own them
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: to a lot of cities, yeah right, that's where and
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of places in the Midwest that.
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: Are going to Yeah.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, but they're gonna make money on getting the
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: stuff there quick and then they're gonna be like a pipeline.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: Oil is always going to flow through the pipeline. It
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: just goes up and down with people's feelings. If oil
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: is higher or lower, it's still the same.
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: Amount of oil. You know, I never understood that still
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: the same amount of oil.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: So, but the technology for anybody that's worrying about oh
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: college kids aren't getting a job. I totally agree. I
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: had children. I had a son that graduated two years ago, right,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: you know, he got lucky and moved to Florida and
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: got a real good job. I mean a lot of
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: his friends may be not right now because it's tough,
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: but AI is not taking away someone's job. The people
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: that are going to make tons and tons of money,
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: besides people that work with their hands for the next
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty twenty five years, think of space right, Well,
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: there's I mean, it's all over, you know. I mean,
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: are the people that are able to use AI better
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: than the next person. So our kids that are two
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: to twenty eight, thirty thirty.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: Two, their entire life has been on the internet ring.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I was just about to go to.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: They're the ones that are in their pocket being able
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: to type. I have to go like this, and I
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: make so many mistakes, but they can type.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: And if they and they've been using AI, they're the
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: first cord cutters.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm following you. Here's where I divert a
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: little bit. I'm not I'm not disagreeing with anything said.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: You can disagree with me, but my problem, no My
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: problem is is, yes, this generation has done that, but
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: I also think it's a detriment to them to not
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: go through what we went through, like this is a
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: given to them and everything, like everything is at their fingertips.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: We had to go out and search for it, you know.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk said, you know, by you know, twenty years,
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: no one's going to be working and everyone's gonna be
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: paid through the government and blah blah blah. Well, you
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: know what, how do you build character and relationships? And
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: I see it in the bar and I hate to
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: always bring it back to that, but that's my life
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: for the last thirty years. I don't the bar is
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: a dying breed, Chris. I mean, these kids come in,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: they won they don't drink anymore. That's not that's not
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: the issue. The issue.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: They do a pre party.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, or they're doing the gummy I'm having
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: a pre party, you know, or they're doing the gummies
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: or you know, there's a lot of anxiety in the
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: world with young kids. There's a lot of you know,
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: insecurities because they didn't grow up like you and me, everybody, right, right,
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: and and and and think about these kids as they
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: come in and they're not even they're not even looking
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: at the girl across the bar. They're texting a girl
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: or swiping right on their phone at a girl while
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: they're at a bar. And this may seem minuscule and stuff,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: But in the grand scheme of things, I know, I
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: see exactly what you're saying with AI. But just because
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: they have a phone and they can type, I don't
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: think it. How do they learn it? How do they
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: get the con how do they meet people? How do
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: they find the right person? Like maybe your son found
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: the right person in Florida and got the job he needed.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: And that's a life skill that where do these kids
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: learn it?
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: Now? It's not in school. I am not the biggest fan.
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of college for the social development.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: That's all I got out of it. It's all I
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: got out of the University.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: Of that it is you know, you got to understand
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: when something needed to be done, you did it well.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: I mean they say the college now is the reason
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: why you go there? Or for the people that are
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: recruiters for companies, if you went to a four year school,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: you know, they want to know that you went you
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: committed to something for four years that you had deadlines,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: that you met, you know, a structure in your life.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Now we get kids out of high school and they
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: don't know fucking it's you know, I don't know. I mean,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: this is a whole nother podcast.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'd love to come back to do this,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: but I'm sixty two years old. I can take so
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: early social security now, right, I'm not. But so I've
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: seen a lot, right, And I like old TV. It's
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: a It's a calmer place for me.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: I like new TV too, yeah, meng, Yeah, I don't.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm a I'm a Dexter fan. I'm you know,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: I'm a lot of different fans.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I consider it Dexter Old TV.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: Well, it keeps coming back on.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: Right, So you look at our kids, it's kind of like,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: you know, my parents thought differently of me.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: They didn't.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: They lived a different life than I did. I lived
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: a better life than my parents did, just because of technology.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: Because there was a few extra dollars. Right, We had
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: a house, you know what I mean. It wasn't a
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: rich life or anything, but you grow.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: Kids are truly and again, you can't use an entire
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: population of children or young adults. But some of these
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: young adults, man, are are got a lot going for
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: them now. I mean the whole thing about going back
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: to the church, A lot of people are doing that
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: because they're looking for answers. Because this is not an answer, right,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: it's not a babysit or the phone.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: They're looking for answers. I got all the hope in life.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: I think they're looking for answers because they're watching reels
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: on there that can ask them questions. I think that
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: influences them more. I think the religious like almost like
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: revival in this country. A lot of it was because
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk got us fascinated because a lot of
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: people watch Charlie before he got killed, whether what side
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: they were on, and when he got killed, they you know,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Christianity all of a sudden made it big and then
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden there's ads on TV about it
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: and all this. And I'm not saying it's a bad thing, no, And.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: I agree with you that they did get a lot
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: of publicity and an awful, awful thing. But even before that,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know because my kids are that age,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: you know, the older you know what I mean. And
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: I have friends that have younger kids, right, and they
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: seem to be going back to church too. So I
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: don't know what it is. But all I'm saying is
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: I think scoop for it and society and what you
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: were saying about not having the guts to go talk
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: to somebody.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: But you think it's the same thing, it's not. It's
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: nowhere even as fun. Right. No, you don't get to
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: see the smile when you say something.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: I learned to like have that pit in your stomach
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: of what is she going to say?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: Right? It's easy to hide away. Again.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: Every generation has had the high away time so far
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: in America. I still bet myself that most of us
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: will do okay. Those kids will do okay because life
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: doesn't change much.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: Man. You gotta get a job, you fall in love,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: you have kids, and you get a mortgage.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: But where do you The last show I did on
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: my other podcast, we talked about the American dream. You know,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: is it's still attainable with the with the way that
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: you know in Milford, is it attainable for a kid
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: that just moved here from college? Like, can you can't
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: afford a house? There are people that can't.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: Many kids afforded a house just out of college.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: No, well, fifty years ago they did.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Well, but that was different because they had they they
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: had GI bills, and they had things of that.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, I bought my first house in twenty ten
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: on Orland Street for two hundred and dollars and the
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: neighborhood it is twenty twenty six and a friend of mine,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: I bought it two years ago for five hundred and
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: fifteen thousand. Oh, that is one hundred and fifty percent
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: increase in fifteen years.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: Well, you had COVID, I know.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that this is this is right, this
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: is where our our basis came from. Like I guess
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: what everything goes up must come down.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know with housing, but until the next doorm,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: I don't think housing prices on the coast of Melford.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Are coming down, right, That's what That's what I'm saying,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: or even any coastline or even where I mean, where
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: are you gonna find a house that's three hundred thousand
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: dollars Waterbury?
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, but on that I think there's a lot.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Of three hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: I do too.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, I bought my first house for one hundred
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars. But I was only making like
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: thirty thousand dollars. Yeah, my kids make a lot more
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: than I did when I bought my first house.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: But you're not getting a hundred fifty thousand dollars home. Well, no,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: and the interest rates suck. No.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: I bought my first home in nineteen ninety eighty nine,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: ninety one and something like that. My interest rate was
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: ten percent in the day before it went to nine
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: and seven a's. I thought it was the greatest thing
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: that I rabbed in my life, that I had a
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: single digit thing. Yeah, I mean, the average mortgage rate
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: in our history is about five percent. We had the
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: whole financial crisis that blew everybody out of proportion, right
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: because we were stupid then before of it and saying,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: you know, can you write your name on this piece
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: of paper?
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: You say you work, right, It's okay, Oh.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: Well I don't have to see any income from you,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: and then it just became all crooked.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: Hopefully we don't go back to that.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: But there's a lot of places in Milford that you know,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking like by foreign in all that area and
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: other places like Lorel beach Man, you're not going to
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: find the three hundred thousand dollars four hundred thousand dollars home.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know in other places you're not.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: But you know, there's a lot of places in Milford
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: that used to be you know, not capes, but yeah,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: like capes, or they're the or the gi billhouses. You
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: know what I mean that people are going to be selling,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: and believe it or not, they're really not selling for
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: huge amounts of money for what everything Milford gives. It's
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: still hard to do, but it was hard for me
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: to do it at a one hundred and fifty thousand, right,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: and it was hard for you.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: I think there's more. I think there's more obstacles now
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: though well I got lucky the first time because it
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: was a rent to own with a family member. But
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: you know there's obstacles of you know, Blackrock or these
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: big companies. They're saying they're not buying up single family homes,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: but they are.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: No, they are, but they're not buying up.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on in Milford. How do you know?
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: You don't know that? And then when something goes up
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: in Milford or Orange or anywhere along the shoreline. You know,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: it's almost like, say something goes up for three hundred thousand,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: it's a joke. It's like, you know, it's not going
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: to be three hundred thousand. Everyone's overbidding and people are losing.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: I had a friend that moved to Stanford. It took
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: him two years to get down there. And the kid
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: has money. It took him two years to get a house.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: He ended up overbidding by one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: You know, That's why I commuted for Yeah, I just
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: think years of my life. I think the challenge.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying they can't do it. I just think
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: the challenge could be a little harder than it used
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: to be to attain the American dream. However you want
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: to perpetrate the American dream being I don't care why
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: pick of fence, two and a half kids, whatever, But
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: is it harder now than it was in my generation?
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: And you're like a half a generation older than me.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: My parents. You know, my dad built his first house,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: you know, so yeah, so you know he built his
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: house for seven thousand dollars in nineteen seventy two. I believe,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: you know, we just sold it. He passed away. A
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago. My brother and I sold it
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: for of course, and this is my luck.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: It was that year.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: We yeah, we put it on the market for five
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand, and we didn't even get one offer over that,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: and we actually had to sell it for less.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: I'm like, why everything's going?
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's in South Yarfield, Massachusetts. It's not a
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: coastline or whatever. But I just, you know, it was
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: just a conversation. I really hope this generation it doesn't
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: see just this trend of everything just going up and
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: up and up and up and up, because I think
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: it's it's creating a bigger divide in wealth.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: And but I had these same conversations with my grandparents
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: and my fat parents when they my grandparents bought their
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: first fun guy, no, I know, no, but I mean
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: they bought their first house for like ten thousand dollars. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: what it means, right, and they sold it later for
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: all you hear all the grand path you know, no,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: but bred you know, like shit like that.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: But but you have.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: To look at how much money you're making, right if
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: you have a job, and you can I know, I.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: Know it's all percentages of what you make to what
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: you can afford.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: Right, And the biggest problem that you have is that
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: people are thinking that mortgage rates are gonna go pack
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: to three.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: They're not.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: We're in a lot of trouble.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: Right in the United States if we go back to three,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: because that means we're not producing anything.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: We're in a recession, right. We don't want that. You know,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: my rate in.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: Twenty ten was to two point five five percent.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: Because because we we we invented money.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: Then yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, then the big housing.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, well it's just we and who knows, We're
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: still not out of that problem because now thirty seven
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: trillion dollars a debt.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I mean we're ever going to tackle that?
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: Who knows that? Honestly, that whole debt thing. I just
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: I remember when I was a kid, you know, they
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I think they still have the clock in
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: times square?
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: Oh I get that clock right, Yeah, that might be
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: all of time square.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes just.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: Because there's a lot of zero. Yeah. Did you go
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: to school, Did you go to a like a it was.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: Like a class like a class trip. Yeah, yeah, there
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: was Yeah.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: That was Carey yeah, I know. It's like she was
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: like trillion dollars, but then I liked that.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a second, we're America as a kid growing,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: We're we print our own fucking money.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: We do, we still do, and people going.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: To attack us Like back then, you know, I'm twelve, sixteen,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: twenty years old. I'm like, wars were always foreign, nothing
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: was ever on our soil. Then two thousand and one hit,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, wait a second, they can actually get
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: to us, you know, And it's like, oh, that makes
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: a big difference. And that's why I think this whole
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: Iran thing is was necessary. It's dragging on a little
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: too much, I think, But but whatever, just so yeah,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, see here's the problem. Trump never should
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: have said how long it was gonna take. He did
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: this with fucking you know, fourteen days to you know,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: flatten the curve, you know, like just we're gonna attack
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: it head on, let's do this. We're not sure how
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: long it's gonna take. But I'm behind them, like we
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: still definitely.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: Might have made not a mistake, but we definitely misjudged
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: the difference between Venezuela, how big I ran is how zealous.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: They really are. Yeah, oh yeah, I mean they live
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: in the eighth century. The clerics.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: They believe that, you know, Armageddon will come and then
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: their general that died then will come back and lead
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: them to take over the world. Who wants to take
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: over the world.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: And they all believe that they're gonna be banging virgins
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: when they die, so they don't care to die. And
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: that's a scary thing. What I'm saying.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: People want God blessed me, and I'm hoping they're a
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: good place out there.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: You know, it's supposed to be heaven, right, I guess so,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know, But I.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: Mean I'm a very strong supporter because I mean, I'm
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: third generation American. I did not grow up with a
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: silver spoon in my mouth. I've worked really hard. I've
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: made mistakes. Kids are afraid to make a mistake. You
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: have to make a mistake. Consequences you have to if
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: you make a decision, you have to live with that consequence.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: But in America, and it's you know, Morgan Freeman once
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: said on a television show it was a great qub
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: they were talking about, you know, racism, and he just
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: basically said, I don't believe in that if we stopped
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: talking about it, there won't be because and they go,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: what do you mean? And he goes the bus leaves
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: every day. So if you want, I still think in America,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: I do that. If you want to get to where
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: you need to be, and you find a way to
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: do it and you really want to do it, and
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: you get.

• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: the day and the sun rises, and you have to
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: appreciate that, right, and working hard is not a sin.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: Right, you know, if you get paid to do a job,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: do it right and try to elevate yourself. Don't say
• 1:12:30

  Speaker 2: when it's hot, you know what I mean, in the
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: summer making good money.
• 1:16:36

  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's you know yeah, no, I mean I
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: started in the restaurant business.

• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: crashed in eighty seven.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: But you know it's again, it's all about do you
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: see the trees right in front of you. If you
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: see the trees and nobody else does, keep going toward them. Man,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, don't allow yourself to be put down again.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: That quote by.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: Norman Freeman, just there's a bus that goes every you
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: know that leaves every day, has always made me say
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: to myself, wait, I mean you got to get up,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: you got to go to work. There's lots of stuff
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: in life. There are no rule books in life. They
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: want rule bucks, they're not. You know, you have to
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: learn to fail to succeed.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: And the biggest thing that what you have is you
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: have the need to be social.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: Right, you have the ability to strike up conversations. You
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: built a profitable bartending gig. And now look what you're doing,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: you know, with what you're doing now and your kids
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: and everything.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: That's the American dream, my friends.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: So I mean, the American dream isn't going from you know,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: not having a penny to being the richest man.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: In the world.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: An American dream is hopefully you're able to put do,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: have fun in certain parts of your life, work hard,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: and get the things that we want most human beings want,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: which is companionship, a wife or a husband or whoever, right, children,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: if that's what you want. But you need to own
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: something in America to make you feel that you've accomplished
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: the American dream and just going real back to the
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: whole buying renting again. Americans are great human beings.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: For the whole part of the world.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: It's the East coast to west coast, and the middle
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: part of the country counts too, right. They're hard workers
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: for the most part, right, And they get along and
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: they work hard, and they go to church together or
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: they play pickleball. But you know, like any other society,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: there's people that want it the easy way, right.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: I believe that America gives you the opportunity the hard
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: way most of the time, right, because a lot of failure,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: but if you keep pushing every day and you have
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: a purpose, you're gonna win in this country, it becomes easier.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: It becomes easier.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, and you know new math, old math, what
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: they teach, whatnot they teach. It's really about understanding what
• 1:19:17

• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: and making sure you just aren't guessing that, oh I
