- 4:05Speaker 2: So yeah, I always thank you for that.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Of course. So you know you own a liquor store now,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and you're you're moving on from that, right, Yeah.
- 4:14Speaker 3: So I left the wine business and got into I
- 4:16Speaker 3: had this opportunity with my business partner. He's great guy.
- 4:20Speaker 3: We grew up together in Farmington and he owns four
- 4:23Speaker 3: restaurants out in Central Oregon, out and Bend. So he's
- 4:27Speaker 3: kicking butt out there, and we were looking to do
- 4:29Speaker 3: something on the East coast. I was still in the
- 4:30Speaker 3: wine business, and originally we wanted to open one of
- 4:34Speaker 3: his concepts here. And then the pandemic hit and we
- 4:38Speaker 3: all know what happened with the restaurants. I mean, you
- 4:40Speaker 3: chief among them, and it was like, okay, we're not
- 4:43Speaker 3: doing that. So we started looking for a wine shop,
- 4:45Speaker 3: you know, we wanted to do a wine shop boutique
- 4:47Speaker 3: kind of thing. And this opportunity came along where we
- 4:51Speaker 3: actually had the ability to purchase a property. It's a beautiful,
- 4:55Speaker 3: old three story building in East Adam kind of get
- 4:58Speaker 3: beautiful town and it's an no warehouse and it was
- 5:02Speaker 3: opportunity for ustone real estate rather than you know, most
- 5:05Speaker 3: liquor stores are in strip malls and right next day,
- 5:08Speaker 3: always paying rent and stuff like that. So we're our
- 5:09Speaker 3: own landlords, which is good. So we kind of control
- 5:11Speaker 3: our own destiny there.
- 5:13Speaker 1: That's good.
- 5:13Speaker 3: So yeah, but the nature of uh, you know, the
- 5:15Speaker 3: liquor business now is you know, since it's twenty twenty,
- 5:19Speaker 3: when at its height, I mean I was sitting in pajamas,
- 5:22Speaker 3: you know, writing orders, send sending stuff to package stores.
- 5:25Speaker 1: And I was just going out with jams, drinking, not
- 5:28Speaker 1: even working.
- 5:28Speaker 3: That's what everybody was doing. Business was good.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, what a wacky time that was.
- 5:33Speaker 3: It was a wacky time. The masks and distancing and it's.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Just the total irony of everything. And you know, I
- 5:40Speaker 1: love watching those videos online, other shows that show how
- 5:44Speaker 1: crazy really people tried to talk to us, you know
- 5:47Speaker 1: it didn't wear a mask or didn't get vaccinated like
- 5:49Speaker 1: we were that. I'm not vaccinated. I don't know if
- 5:51Speaker 1: you got vaccinated.
- 5:52Speaker 3: I'm not. I just, uh problem. I wasn't into it.
- 5:56Speaker 3: I didn't let my children get back. I didn't let them.
- 5:59Speaker 3: I just avoid tried to. Yeah, no, it's uh. And
- 6:02Speaker 3: you're seeing stuff coming out now where there's stuff that's
- 6:07Speaker 3: coming out. Yeah, you know, hard conditions. I mean tomorrow Hamling.
- 6:11Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if that's related, but I mean,
- 6:13Speaker 3: these these professional athletes.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Really.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm weird though, I'm a weird.
- 6:18Speaker 1: I mean everything I followed that like to the next
- 6:22Speaker 1: like when he came back and the next game, he
- 6:24Speaker 1: was like in Buffalo and it was snowing and he
- 6:27Speaker 1: walked in with a hoodie on, and then well there's
- 6:29Speaker 1: the mar Hamblin in the fucking luxury box and everyone's cheering.
- 6:32Speaker 1: You can't tell because there's a fucking blizzard out. You
- 6:34Speaker 1: can't see anything in there. And me and my friends
- 6:36Speaker 1: at work were all question it, like you know, And
- 6:38Speaker 1: then there was online conspiracy ship that the tattoos were
- 6:42Speaker 1: different than he used to have.
- 6:44Speaker 3: I was weird diving down the rabbit hole.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Man, you have no idea what I'm fucking crazy the box? Yeah,
- 6:53Speaker 1: So what's the You brought a good point pre show,
- 6:56Speaker 1: like the State of the Union, And I've talked about
- 6:57Speaker 1: this a little before on the show. In the liquor
- 6:59Speaker 1: business self, the liquor industry, I think it's a lot.
- 7:03Speaker 1: And I'm sure you have your own opinions, but I'm
- 7:06Speaker 1: probably gonna be similar to mine. Uh, what's going on?
- 7:10Speaker 1: And I think number one is gen Z they just
- 7:14Speaker 1: don't drink like we did. Number two is the weed
- 7:19Speaker 1: drinks and weed in general being legal coming into the industry.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I mean Connecticut modified their rules like in the beginning
- 7:28Speaker 1: you could actually sell the weed products and bars and
- 7:30Speaker 1: they just said no. So only the liquor stores. Actually
- 7:34Speaker 1: talked about this last week with with Julian on who's
- 7:37Speaker 1: selling the weed sodas you know, and I think pricing
- 7:43Speaker 1: is huge too for the gen Z crowd, you know,
- 7:47Speaker 1: and and and and fourth is these.
- 7:50Speaker 2: The phones and and that takes.
- 7:52Speaker 1: The whole social aspect out of a life. Well, I
- 7:54Speaker 1: mean that's.
- 7:55Speaker 3: Why you go to a bar, right, that's why you
- 7:57Speaker 3: go when you socialize. And I mean, you know my
- 7:59Speaker 3: family from Ireland.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Where I met ninety my girlfriends there you go. Yeah,
- 8:03Speaker 1: it's outside of my high school seriously.
- 8:05Speaker 3: You know now, and there's there's dating apps. You know,
- 8:07Speaker 3: it's it's different. You don't normally go socialize and everything else,
- 8:10Speaker 3: and that's what it's supposed to be. But I think, yeah,
- 8:13Speaker 3: I mean, well kids are younger, kids are living with
- 8:15Speaker 3: their parents longer, and the graduating college with degrees, but
- 8:18Speaker 3: they're not like there's no jobs really for them, you know,
- 8:21Speaker 3: if you're in some wacky field rather than I I
- 8:26Speaker 3: mean to me, like trade schools are the way to go.
- 8:28Speaker 3: If you're going to be graduating high school, go learn
- 8:30Speaker 3: the trade, Go do something like that with your hands
- 8:33Speaker 3: that you can actually make money doing college work, actually work. Yeah,
- 8:37Speaker 3: you're gonna come out with the you know, one hundred
- 8:39Speaker 3: and six thousand actually work.
- 8:41Speaker 1: You're gonna want to fuck it with a hard k Yes,
- 8:43Speaker 1: you're gonna want to beer. You're gonna want to shout
- 8:45Speaker 1: a whiskey. Yeah.
- 8:46Speaker 3: Well, then you're also of an appreciation for like what
- 8:48Speaker 3: stuff costs, and yeah, rent and everything else.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I think I've seen some numbers. I don't have them
- 8:54Speaker 1: in front of me, but h yeah, the trend is
- 8:57Speaker 1: very downward in the in the liquor industry, and you know,
- 8:59Speaker 1: the big wigs like you know, the Diagios of the
- 9:02Speaker 1: world and Anheuser Bush or whoever in BEV and all
- 9:05Speaker 1: those guys like they're feeling it, you know.
- 9:08Speaker 2: So when like you know in BEV and.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Anheser Bush makes that mistake with bud Light, I mean
- 9:14Speaker 1: it just they haven't rebounded, not completely. No, they'll never
- 9:19Speaker 1: get back to what I mean. I like to look
- 9:22Speaker 1: at Stonebridge, and I'm not bragging about Stonebridge, but it's
- 9:25Speaker 1: you know, we've seen sales dip. You know, we've seen
- 9:29Speaker 1: you know, we're not crazy crazy late night you know
- 9:31Speaker 1: on Fridays anymore. You know, it's it's this younger generation
- 9:35Speaker 1: or almost like picking a night to go out instead
- 9:37Speaker 1: of going out every night, right, you know. And I
- 9:40Speaker 1: think it's uh, you know, I just think it's like
- 9:47Speaker 1: but like bud Light was, you know, three hundred cases
- 9:50Speaker 1: a week huge. Now it's maybe every other work five.
- 9:56Speaker 3: I mean for endbev too. And I talk to my
- 9:58Speaker 3: our salesman, you know you should shall lowery star whoever
- 10:00Speaker 3: you get from down here is so so you know,
- 10:05Speaker 3: they felt it, but they're a billion dollar company. You know.
- 10:08Speaker 3: People would come into my store and say, well, I'm
- 10:10Speaker 3: not drinking but light anymore. I'm gonna drink this bush.
- 10:12Speaker 1: It's better.
- 10:14Speaker 3: Like it's the same same people right now.
- 10:16Speaker 1: So they have so many skews.
- 10:17Speaker 3: It's like they really they felt it, but they didn't
- 10:20Speaker 3: do an Ultra And I'm like, you know, realize it's
- 10:21Speaker 3: the same things the same exactly. And Ultra is like
- 10:23Speaker 3: one of their biggest sellers right now.
- 10:25Speaker 1: It's huge, you know, And it's just it's they are huge.
- 10:29Speaker 1: But I think it's more of you know, it's it's
- 10:34Speaker 1: more of well overall that no one's drinking.
- 10:38Speaker 3: Yeah, no one's drinking.
- 10:39Speaker 1: I think do you you're seeing breweries close?
- 10:40Speaker 3: Yes, the restaurants I mean Stony Creek.
- 10:45Speaker 1: I mean it's I mean, I'm not saying it's ever
- 10:47Speaker 1: gonna go.
- 10:47Speaker 3: You're seeing consolidation from the bigger companies. You know, Hartley
- 10:50Speaker 3: and Parker is no more. You know, Martinettie took them over.
- 10:54Speaker 3: And there's rumors as southerns moving into the state. So
- 10:57Speaker 3: you're just consolidating these companies. And I don't think that's
- 11:00Speaker 3: going to stop. You know, there's lots of rumors swirling around,
- 11:02Speaker 3: but you know, and then eventually you're going to get
- 11:05Speaker 3: wine and grocery stores. I mean, that's gonna.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Happening to happen. It sucks. Not for a consumer, no,
- 11:11Speaker 1: I think it's for the consumer.
- 11:12Speaker 3: To be perfectly honest, it is. I think you know,
- 11:15Speaker 3: you're going to get limited selection, You're gonna get grocery
- 11:18Speaker 3: store brands, but you're the convenience is there?
- 11:21Speaker 1: Oh yeah?
- 11:21Speaker 3: They have it all over Florida when you go down
- 11:23Speaker 3: Public yeah oh yeah, yeah.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Even Walgreens has liquor stores attached to them. You know,
- 11:30Speaker 1: we'll think about it.
- 11:30Speaker 3: I mean Stu Leonards, I mean they're thinking about moving
- 11:33Speaker 3: up here. Wegman's just moved into the state. It's bev
- 11:38Speaker 3: Max Total wine. I mean, it's going to happen eventually,
- 11:40Speaker 3: the very powerful lobbyists.
- 11:41Speaker 1: There, so which is again, you know, I know a
- 11:45Speaker 1: lot of people that own liquor stores, so it's it's
- 11:47Speaker 1: I feel for them, you know.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Yeah, like you're going to lose a lot.
- 11:51Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you still sell liquor and the grocery
- 11:54Speaker 1: stores won't be able to. But like you said, beer
- 11:56Speaker 1: and wine is.
- 11:57Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just going to take a chunk out. And
- 11:59Speaker 3: then the industry my old job. You know, you're you're
- 12:03Speaker 3: going to be changing how you do that. I mean
- 12:05Speaker 3: there's thousands of salespeople on the road now that's just
- 12:07Speaker 3: going to consolidate because once when goes in the grocery stores,
- 12:10Speaker 3: you're going to lose forty percent of your package stores.
- 12:14Speaker 3: They're just going to close. That's sad, sad, right, any yeah, anyone.
- 12:18Speaker 1: That's good, But that's where you know, people need to survive,
- 12:21Speaker 1: adapt and figure stuff out. Correct.
- 12:23Speaker 3: Yeah. Then there's stores, I mean you talk about Corey
- 12:26Speaker 3: all the time, stores like Winds and more in places
- 12:28Speaker 3: like that that are standalone, that that are that are
- 12:32Speaker 3: going to do well. They've already got a customer base.
- 12:34Speaker 3: People want to go there. You know, like the home
- 12:37Speaker 3: depot thing or the local hardcore.
- 12:39Speaker 1: I just spent fifty that's good, Winds and More. I'm
- 12:43Speaker 1: looking for a sponsor, maybe Winds and More. Yeah, and
- 12:47Speaker 1: I don't want free booze though I like to pay
- 12:49Speaker 1: for my booze. I feel like, you know, I feel
- 12:52Speaker 1: like whenever I spend that, like a store like that,
- 12:57Speaker 1: I just I feel like I don't care about how
- 12:58Speaker 1: much money I spent because like, I feel like I'm
- 13:01Speaker 1: supporting the owners who I like, right, they're paying the
- 13:05Speaker 1: employees any jobs, and you know, but you know, it's
- 13:07Speaker 1: just like it's like when you have those small business
- 13:10Speaker 1: Saturdays and stuff like that. But on the same hand,
- 13:13Speaker 1: you know, I I do differ from a lot of
- 13:16Speaker 1: people who are always like, you know, shop local and
- 13:19Speaker 1: blah blah blah, like don't go to the chain restaurants.
- 13:21Speaker 1: And I'm always like, listen, a lot of these chain
- 13:24Speaker 1: restaurants are franchised by local people who employ local people
- 13:29Speaker 1: who are working. I mean like, yeah, like Chili's is
- 13:32Speaker 1: still going to get their fucking you know money from
- 13:35Speaker 1: the name on the store. Yea, Like you can't stop that.
- 13:38Speaker 1: But you know, I just like every subway is franchised,
- 13:42Speaker 1: every single one of them. So if you're going to
- 13:44Speaker 1: Subway and you think you're shopping at a chain, you're
- 13:46Speaker 1: really not. You're kind of shopping local.
- 13:48Speaker 3: And I think, you know, I think the food movement
- 13:51Speaker 3: is uh is going to be is a big thing
- 13:53Speaker 3: and is going to be a big thing. You know,
- 13:55Speaker 3: people drinking less. I think people are trying to be healthy.
- 13:59Speaker 1: That's that's another killer.
- 14:01Speaker 3: Absolutely, the fuck's wrong with people, uh as far as
- 14:04Speaker 3: being healthy, Like they just drink beer and eat pizza.
- 14:08Speaker 1: It's so much easier. Well we will talk about wings
- 14:10Speaker 1: in a minute. But yeah, yeah, that's what I like.
- 14:14Speaker 1: I know. I actually, uh, I'm at the stage in
- 14:17Speaker 1: my life where I'm like, all right, I gotta i
- 14:20Speaker 1: gotta make a change, Like you know, I gotta start
- 14:22Speaker 1: losing weight. Like I'm just I don't think this is
- 14:24Speaker 1: the heaviest I've been, but I'm getting back. I'm just
- 14:26Speaker 1: like comfortable and even the new job, I eat good
- 14:29Speaker 1: at lunch, but then I just, you know, on the weekends,
- 14:31Speaker 1: are just eat stupid.
- 14:32Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I'm in the same boat. I mean, you
- 14:34Speaker 3: got to push yourself. That's really the thing. It's easy.
- 14:36Speaker 1: It's easy to fifty one. I'm gonna be fifty two.
- 14:39Speaker 1: So all right, let's you know, start more with.
- 14:40Speaker 3: The same age.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:41Speaker 3: Yeah, well before it was you know, we were active
- 14:43Speaker 3: as it was golfing and yeah, I used to play hockey, baseball,
- 14:47Speaker 3: that stuff, and like when you get older, you just
- 14:48Speaker 3: don't do that stuff anymore.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You ache.
- 14:51Speaker 2: And I fucking pulled my back point.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Well, I played golf in the middle of the winter.
- 14:54Speaker 1: But we played like the Saturday after Thanksgiving at Grassal
- 14:58Speaker 1: for some stupid like turn yep little Jack Frost tournament.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I like thirteen holes in. I fucking just couldn't even moves.
- 15:07Speaker 3: Like a hard sneeze.
- 15:10Speaker 1: When I sneeze, I feel like my yeah, I just
- 15:12Speaker 1: feel like fucking cardial is moving around. Absolutely, don't get
- 15:16Speaker 1: old people, That's what it's. Young listeners.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Don't just keep moving, That's really what it is.

- 16:52Speaker 3: has just moved into town. Very good. They've won awards
- 16:55Speaker 3: in Buffalo. But a place we go with the with
- 16:59Speaker 3: this kids every year said kids are all grown now camping.
- 17:02Speaker 3: We went a place around the state and we were
- 17:04Speaker 3: up near Watertown. This year. I went to this little
- 17:07Speaker 3: place called Ordinary Joe's and hole in the wall dive
- 17:11Speaker 3: bar looking from the outside, which I love. I'll tell
- 17:14Speaker 3: you what. The wings are fantastic. That's some of the
- 17:17Speaker 3: best in the state. If you don't know, you got
- 17:20Speaker 3: an ordinary Ordinary jos Ojo's they call them. There's Watertown.
- 17:24Speaker 3: There's another location too, and I forget where it is,
- 17:25Speaker 3: but we're at the trip Great Sports Bar.
- 17:31Speaker 1: I should see him.
- 17:34Speaker 3: My son took that. I was gonna cry.
- 17:36Speaker 1: Good. Uh my faves so my favorite, you're gonna laugh
- 17:44Speaker 1: at me, and well it's not my favorite anymore. Uh.
- 17:48Speaker 1: East Shore Pizza right, it's in Milford by Adams, in
- 17:53Speaker 1: that little plaza across the street. It's Greek style pizza,
- 17:56Speaker 1: which a lot of people. You know, there's some good
- 17:59Speaker 1: Greeks pizzas out there. Sorry, but anyway, one years ago
- 18:03Speaker 1: I ordered like wings too, you know pizza wings. Can't
- 18:05Speaker 1: beat that on a Saturday football And their wings were
- 18:09Speaker 1: nice and like big. They were breaded, which some people
- 18:14Speaker 1: are like totally against, right, not.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Not with I would never get them that way.
- 18:19Speaker 1: That's the only way they had them. They were right,
- 18:22Speaker 1: I'm not lying, fall off the bone sauce perfect perfectly.
- 18:26Speaker 1: The only thing I had to fucking The only downside
- 18:28Speaker 1: is they give you like a little uh like Ken's yeah,
- 18:34Speaker 1: but it's seen the little fucking squeezed you know, little
- 18:36Speaker 1: squeeze bag and it's like not first of all, no
- 18:39Speaker 1: way enough yeah yeah yeah, and they put it in
- 18:43Speaker 1: with the pizzas, so it's all fucking warm whatever. That's
- 18:46Speaker 1: that's a little grape right, but me all excited and yeah,
- 18:49Speaker 1: well all right, blue cheese is a big factor when
- 18:51Speaker 1: it comes to wings. So anyway, so whatever, So I
- 18:53Speaker 1: would get them all the time, Like I would get
- 18:55Speaker 1: to the point where we would get New Haven pizza,
- 18:58Speaker 1: Like we live on that side of town. We'll get
- 18:59Speaker 1: New Have and uh we having pizza place, awesome pizza.
- 19:02Speaker 1: We get pizza from there. And I'd order wings from
- 19:04Speaker 1: across the street. Okay, I was gonna ask it because
- 19:07Speaker 1: I've heard my pizza pizza.
- 19:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 19:11Speaker 1: So anyway, so like, I don't know, three four weeks ago,
- 19:15Speaker 1: I went there, I like lunch or something. I know,
- 19:17Speaker 1: I got out of work early, and I'm like, you know,
- 19:18Speaker 1: I was on that side of the town, and I'm like,
- 19:21Speaker 1: you know what, let me fucking get some wings and
- 19:23Speaker 1: of pizza bring it home. So I do the wing
- 19:27Speaker 1: The wings were half the size they used to be,
- 19:30Speaker 1: undersauced and you know, same blue cheese and a fucking
- 19:34Speaker 1: squeeze bag. And I'm like, I was like so disappointed.
- 19:38Speaker 1: Pizza was still good, and I'm like, whatever did I'm
- 19:42Speaker 1: never getting wings from there again because or I'm like,
- 19:44Speaker 1: well maybe they just ran out of them and they've
- 19:47Speaker 1: just scrambled, but they were still the predit ones. So
- 19:51Speaker 1: fucking like two days later, I'm reading ever review about
- 19:55Speaker 1: it just happened to pop up in my timeline. It's
- 19:56Speaker 1: like my phone knew I went there obviously, and uh
- 20:00Speaker 1: somebody said they have new ownership and like the new
- 20:03Speaker 1: owners are really nice. I'm like, well that makes sense, like.
- 20:05Speaker 3: They since you got them or no, it was no,
- 20:08Speaker 3: it was no before Okay.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Yeah, they took over before I got them, so they
- 20:13Speaker 1: must have changed the wind up.
- 20:14Speaker 3: It must have changed it up. Was a good thing.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love my bars wings.
- 20:21Speaker 3: I haven't tried those yet, great things.
- 20:24Speaker 1: Really good sauce. Well uh and their bonus are actually
- 20:28Speaker 1: really good too. Yep, I I this is a homer call.
- 20:33Speaker 1: But Stonebridge's wings they're fucking really yeah, they're really good. Yeah,
- 20:38Speaker 1: they are one we you know, we par bake them,
- 20:41Speaker 1: we season them really well. They don't have to sit
- 20:43Speaker 1: in a fry later for fucking ten minutes, but they
- 20:46Speaker 1: still have a good crisp to them, you know. And
- 20:48Speaker 1: our blue cheese is housemaid is probably one of the
- 20:50Speaker 1: best in the States, you know. So that's my.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Yes, wood Fire.

- 22:10Speaker 3: and there was an old bar there on Farmington Avenue
- 22:12Speaker 3: called the Cypress Arms. In fact, they played softball for
- 22:15Speaker 3: them years later. But yeah, one of my buddies ordered
- 22:17Speaker 3: Buffalo Wings and I was like, what the hell are
- 22:19Speaker 3: you talking about? And little chicken wings whatever sauced tried
- 22:24Speaker 3: one and that was it. Lifelong love. I was hooked, yeah,
- 22:28Speaker 3: you know, just I wanted him every time I went there. Yeah,
- 22:31Speaker 3: and then just subsequent grew from that.
- 22:33Speaker 1: I was freshman or sophomore year University of even So
- 22:39Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two, ninety three, somewhere in there, never heard
- 22:42Speaker 1: of them, and I roommated and hung out with like
- 22:48Speaker 1: a lot of the football players, you know whatever, a
- 22:52Speaker 1: lot of like ninety percent black guys just hanging out.
- 22:55Speaker 1: You know. I came from Handheig Madison that had you know,
- 22:59Speaker 1: two black people, and they were basically part of a
- 23:01Speaker 1: program from New York City. So I had no real
- 23:04Speaker 1: like interaction with you know, these kind you know, black
- 23:07Speaker 1: guys really in general, like you just didn't, right, And
- 23:10Speaker 1: then I met these guys and we all hit it
- 23:11Speaker 1: off and we all had different backgrounds. And in the calf,
- 23:16Speaker 1: you know, we had a pretty decent calf there back
- 23:17Speaker 1: in the day. Every day these guys are just it
- 23:20Speaker 1: was like every Tuesday or something was all you can
- 23:22Speaker 1: eat wings or something in the calf, and these guys
- 23:24Speaker 1: are just load up and I'm looking on these little
- 23:26Speaker 1: dinky things. I'm like, what the fuck. And they're dipping
- 23:29Speaker 1: in blue cheese, and I'm like, what are you guys eating? Yeah,
- 23:32Speaker 1: they're like buffalo wings. Man, I'm like, I've never had one.
- 23:36Speaker 2: They're like, you know, they.
- 23:37Speaker 3: All know what.
- 23:39Speaker 1: I'm like, never, I swear, Yeah, try one. He got
- 23:43Speaker 1: dip it in the sauce, you know, I go, Wow,
- 23:45Speaker 1: that's pretty fucking good, little spicy. That was it.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Same thing hooked too, And then we used to start going. Yes,
- 23:52Speaker 2: there was a bar.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Called Yesterday's in westdaven Okay. It's all the way down
- 23:56Speaker 1: by the beach, a little like hole in the wall,
- 23:58Speaker 1: and every Tuesday night it was ten cent night, and
- 24:00Speaker 1: me and three four other guys missed those days would
- 24:03Speaker 1: go in. I know right now it's dollar so easy.
- 24:06Speaker 3: Everything expensive, I know.
- 24:08Speaker 1: And we fucking went. We would go down every fucking
- 24:10Speaker 1: Tuesday and just house right off the rip. We'll take
- 24:12Speaker 1: one hundred. Yeah, you know, forty bucks divided by pictures.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Remember pictures. Able to get pictures anymore? No, it's like taboo.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Well, now you know they're drinking the fucking you know,
- 24:24Speaker 1: the Seltzers and other stuff.
- 24:26Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not chugging pictures of you know.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Dude, like like like Stonebridge in the summer, it's all
- 24:31Speaker 1: high noon's in fucking surf sites like that.
- 24:34Speaker 3: That's the only thing that's doing well. Pretty much everything
- 24:37Speaker 3: else is down.
- 24:37Speaker 1: But that's a trend and that'll fade away too again
- 24:40Speaker 1: if these liquor companies don't adapt or sell or you know,
- 24:44Speaker 1: it's it's I remember, I remember talking. I went to
- 24:47Speaker 1: Thimble Island Brewery who closed and the years ago, like
- 24:52Speaker 1: seventy years ago, and did a little tour with a
- 24:55Speaker 1: do you remember tom Ammick sounds from brand plan B
- 24:58Speaker 1: and Milford and Milford, Yeah, it's whatever, it's Milford anyway,
- 25:03Speaker 1: So he knew the guys because they camera no no, no, no,
- 25:07Speaker 1: no different. Yeah, the southern drawl guy good. His wife
- 25:11Speaker 1: worked at Dive Bar and uh we went there and
- 25:16Speaker 1: I remember, like we did the little tour. Now back
- 25:18Speaker 1: then before they got the building next door. It was all,
- 25:22Speaker 1: you know, just fucking like five guys working this thing,
- 25:25Speaker 1: you know, and it's they're delivering the beers and their
- 25:27Speaker 1: pickup truck kind of thing. Cool like like blue collar ship,
- 25:31Speaker 1: which I appreciate. And the beers were solid, you know,
- 25:34Speaker 1: I just like the dark beers. I'm the IPA guy
- 25:36Speaker 1: and we're just sitting down and we're just shooting the
- 25:38Speaker 1: ship with the owner, and I remember asking him, I'm like, like,
- 25:42Speaker 1: what's your end game? And he's like what. I'm like, like,
- 25:44Speaker 1: if Anheuser Busch came in today and I offered you,
- 25:47Speaker 1: you know, five million dollars for the company, we just
- 25:48Speaker 1: sell it.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Oh, no way, no way, no way. This passion is love.
- 25:51Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know, this is eight nine years ago,
- 25:54Speaker 1: before the pandemic and all these things are booming and.
- 25:57Speaker 3: Tends to go away with the zeros.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And I'm like, I think, think of what
- 26:04Speaker 1: you could do with five million though, Think of the
- 26:05Speaker 1: fucking equipment you could buy for your next brewery, you know,
- 26:08Speaker 1: like it's true and name it thimble thimble To or something,
- 26:13Speaker 1: you know, like whatever to the sequel. Yeah. So, and
- 26:18Speaker 1: then they're gone, you know, and it's I'm not trying
- 26:20Speaker 1: to say I told you so, nothing.
- 26:21Speaker 3: Like that, but that's a trend. I mean Stony Creek
- 26:24Speaker 3: we talked about, you know, Nepko went in there, that
- 26:27Speaker 3: whole saven Rock deal.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Stony Creek beer sucked. It wasn't very good.
- 26:31Speaker 3: I don't like to disparage anyone, but I think That's
- 26:33Speaker 3: That's another thing too, is like working in you know,
- 26:35Speaker 3: having a store that I do. People drop off samples
- 26:38Speaker 3: all the time. Yeah, And I got to tell you
- 26:40Speaker 3: most of the time, I'm just like mah, you know,
- 26:43Speaker 3: they're just okay. You know, I'm an I p a guy.
- 26:47Speaker 3: You look at Counterweight, you look at Nepko, you look
- 26:49Speaker 3: at even Tribe Us, you know, places like that, and
- 26:52Speaker 3: they're making really good beer, really good fresh local beer.
- 26:55Speaker 3: And a lot of places are just making beer.
- 26:58Speaker 1: You know. I think I think a lot of likes
- 27:00Speaker 1: with a place like Timble Island too, is you have
- 27:02Speaker 1: to like, I think the white tribes will will never
- 27:05Speaker 1: really go anywhere because one of the three guys are smart.
- 27:08Speaker 1: They make good beer, and they have a beer garden
- 27:10Speaker 1: and they do events and you know they're basically a bar.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Keep it simple, right and they know how to promote it.
- 27:15Speaker 3: Cool space.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a really table. You got me? Yeah, yeah,
- 27:19Speaker 1: yeah right, I got him play ping pong in a while.
- 27:21Speaker 1: I'm pretty good though.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Next next show, maybe I can rock a ping pong table.
- 27:28Speaker 3: Fuck Yeah, put like little like head.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Go And there was a guy that was semi pro like,
- 27:36Speaker 1: played like a pro, held it just y. We were
- 27:40Speaker 1: up in the cafeteria. They had a ping pong table
- 27:42Speaker 1: upstairs at the University aven and I went up there
- 27:46Speaker 1: and I beat him, and like he was so angry,
- 27:50Speaker 1: like he would be like nineteen times out of twenty.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I mean, the guy was just fucking brilliant.
- 27:55Speaker 2: But I just you know, I was missing some shots.
- 27:57Speaker 1: He was hitting the net. I get a couple of
- 27:59Speaker 1: past him, and he was like so angry. I'm like, dude, relax,
- 28:02Speaker 1: you're better than me. You're better than me. I'm not
- 28:05Speaker 1: that good.
- 28:05Speaker 3: He's like, sorry, just best two out of three.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Yeah, it was best the nineteen out of the thirty
- 28:12Speaker 1: eight or thirty seven. But yeah, so ping pong's fun.
- 28:16Speaker 1: But when were talking about breweries and stuff.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's uh, just the nature of the landscape
- 28:22Speaker 3: of the business is changing. Everything's changing. I mean five
- 28:26Speaker 3: years ago, ten years.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Ago, wineries too up here.
- 28:30Speaker 3: You know another thing that.
- 28:31Speaker 2: I lose a whole season, you know when they do.
- 28:34Speaker 3: Not met many good Connecticut wineries.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just when I was out was actually in Watertown.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Okay, I think I know which one you're talking about.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Up on a hill. Holy kind of are all are right?
- 28:47Speaker 3: Those vines growing.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Yeah, they had like trees. It was good though. We
- 28:52Speaker 1: had a good time. It was it was a it
- 28:54Speaker 1: was like a beautiful barn that they made in a
- 28:57Speaker 1: little bar area and they served like light food like
- 29:00Speaker 1: charcoutie boards and stuff.
- 29:02Speaker 3: That's all you need. Was it Stoppa Vineyards that we
- 29:04Speaker 3: have an orange stop an orange good stuff. I think
- 29:07Speaker 3: the same guy's own the New Tide, the new wedding venue.
- 29:12Speaker 3: The same same people's autiful.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Gorgeous, beautiful what they did there.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Our son's getting married there in June.
- 29:20Speaker 1: Oh kid, oh yeah, wow, that's exciting. It is. I
- 29:24Speaker 1: don't have to go far, it's better. Yeah, right, sleep
- 29:27Speaker 1: on the beach I've got He doesn't have to drive anywhere.
- 29:31Speaker 1: It's pack of cooler and sit out there and pass
- 29:33Speaker 1: out on the towel. Yeah absolutely. Oh man. All right,
- 29:38Speaker 1: so that's the state of the liquor industry, the wing industry,
- 29:40Speaker 1: and the uh brewery industry. Let's get into a little
- 29:46Speaker 1: more serious note. What's been going on. We're gonna start
- 29:49Speaker 1: with Rob Ryan or obviously just tragedy all around. Now
- 29:52Speaker 1: all this stuff's coming out like he was at like
- 29:54Speaker 1: Coln O'Brien's party, and just acting weird. The sun got
- 29:58Speaker 1: into a fight with I guess he kind of do
- 30:01Speaker 1: a verbal altercation with a man. I forget the actor's name.
- 30:07Speaker 1: I know you're talking about. Yeah, he was what the
- 30:10Speaker 1: hell's his name? Kind of like a comedian guy, right anyway,
- 30:13Speaker 1: so yeah, you know, and he's asking all these weird
- 30:15Speaker 1: questions are you famous? And that obviously guys a drug
- 30:19Speaker 1: addict and well documented drug addict. They actually did a
- 30:23Speaker 1: documentary back at like twenty eighteen or nineteen with him
- 30:26Speaker 1: his dad.
- 30:27Speaker 3: It wasn't he on like doctor phill or something probably,
- 30:29Speaker 3: but everyone now is like, you know you could see
- 30:32Speaker 3: it in his eyes?
- 30:32Speaker 1: Yeah, killer right, everyone knows that. Yeah, Hindstein's twenty twenty.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Right, smiling, isn't it. Yeah, it's weird. The whole thing
- 30:40Speaker 3: is weird.
- 30:41Speaker 2: It's just it's it's weird. It's sad.
- 30:45Speaker 1: And so obviously Trump comes out literally the next day
- 30:50Speaker 1: and does one of his truth social posts, and basically
- 30:57Speaker 1: it was probably ill timed. I just want your thoughts
- 31:01Speaker 1: on like when you first I'm sure you read it.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Yeah I did, Okay, Yeah, I agree with you. I
- 31:07Speaker 3: think it was well time, ill times, right, you know.
- 31:09Speaker 1: What what like, now we've had a couple of days
- 31:12Speaker 1: to digest that whole thing and seeing you know, obviously
- 31:14Speaker 1: how the left reacted and some of the right. What
- 31:17Speaker 1: was your first thoughts on that one. If you have
- 31:20Speaker 1: you changed your mind about it? No, I really haven't.
- 31:22Speaker 3: I mean I think you know, I go by a
- 31:27Speaker 3: simple standard.
- 31:28Speaker 1: For me.
- 31:28Speaker 3: It's just don't talk ill of the dead. You know,
- 31:31Speaker 3: Rob Reiner, famous, whatever, doesn't matter the backstory. But you know,
- 31:35Speaker 3: it's just like, okay, give it, give it a day.
- 31:38Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. My My thing is, you
- 31:40Speaker 3: don't speak ill will of the dead. I mean it's
- 31:42Speaker 3: there's there's a certain respect there that you have to
- 31:46Speaker 3: pay despite the fact that you don't like him, or
- 31:48Speaker 3: you don't like his politics or anything like that. I
- 31:51Speaker 3: just I think there's no need for it. You know,
- 31:53Speaker 3: you're the president of the United States. You don't you
- 31:55Speaker 3: don't need to comment on everything, you know. So that's
- 31:58Speaker 3: my stance. You know, it's you could have just said nothing.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Right, or just say, you know, with terrible tragedy. Right.
- 32:06Speaker 1: I agreed with you wholeheartedly in the beginning, Like right
- 32:09Speaker 1: when I read it, it's funny, Like when I read it,
- 32:13Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, this is you know, fake,
- 32:15Speaker 1: somebody fucking just you know AI And I was like,
- 32:20Speaker 1: oh wait, I'm reading it to my boss at work.
- 32:22Speaker 1: I'm like and he's like, are you serious? And he's
- 32:24Speaker 1: a Trumper two and he's like, I'm like, yeah, it
- 32:26Speaker 1: looks real. I mean now all the mainstream is starting
- 32:28Speaker 1: to report it, so I don't think it's fake fake
- 32:31Speaker 1: and uh. And then I took a day and I'm like,
- 32:35Speaker 1: not that I think a lot about this ship. I
- 32:36Speaker 1: really don't. But I'm like, I remember I unfollowed Rob
- 32:40Speaker 1: Reiner on Twitter. I used to follow him because I
- 32:44Speaker 1: like following some adversaries. I want to see what their
- 32:46Speaker 1: opinion is on some stuff, and he became so vile
- 32:50Speaker 1: and crazy against Trump that I was like, I'm not
- 32:54Speaker 1: following this guy anymore. It's like over the tops, like
- 32:56Speaker 1: Keith Oberman. Now, like I stopped following him, like I
- 32:58Speaker 1: can't even It's like it's everything Trump does. It's just
- 33:00Speaker 1: that's all it's about. It's all literally has dds. So
- 33:05Speaker 1: then I reread it and I'm like, again, still ill timed.
- 33:09Speaker 1: You could have just told your you know, cabinet. This
- 33:12Speaker 1: is how I feel probably should have put it out.
- 33:15Speaker 1: But then I think, again, you know, it's comments that
- 33:18Speaker 1: Rob Ryner made, or Keith Olberman's or you know, MSNBC
- 33:23Speaker 1: is a huge factor in why he was tried to
- 33:27Speaker 1: They tried to kill him twice, you know, they you know, impeached, uh,
- 33:32Speaker 1: you know, arrested, fucking you know, trial for bullshit. And
- 33:38Speaker 1: it's like and then I thought back to when rush
- 33:41Speaker 1: Limbaugh died, and now he died in natural causes, not
- 33:43Speaker 1: in some horrific thing, but the left just I hope
- 33:47Speaker 1: he rots in fucking hell. It was.
- 33:49Speaker 3: It was like the Great Witch of White, Witch of
- 33:51Speaker 3: the North or whatever it was. Yeah, ding dong whatever again,
- 33:54Speaker 3: same philosophy, right, And then Charlie Kirk.
- 33:57Speaker 1: I thought, Charlie Kirk, and like, how you know people
- 34:00Speaker 1: were making t shirts and mocking him, and you know,
- 34:02Speaker 1: no one really knew, Charlie. They didn't fucking watch them all.
- 34:05Speaker 1: They just caught the tidbits that they thought he was,
- 34:07Speaker 1: you know what he what they thought he was. And
- 34:11Speaker 1: then I'm like, you know what, knowing who Trump is,
- 34:14Speaker 1: I just started laughing. I said, you know what, this
- 34:17Speaker 1: makes perfect sense. I'm still not saying it's right, but
- 34:20Speaker 1: I'm not shocked by it. He probably he doesn't drink,
- 34:23Speaker 1: but if he did, he probably would have had a glass.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Then there's you know, another adversary gone, because that's what
- 34:28Speaker 1: this has turned into. It's turned into a civil war.
- 34:30Speaker 1: And you know, when one of your adversaries is destroyed,
- 34:33Speaker 1: you fucking celebrate. And unfortunately that's where we are again.
- 34:37Speaker 1: He should have just been like, you know, what a tragedy.
- 34:41Speaker 1: You know, I know he had his you know, opposition
- 34:44Speaker 1: towards me, but you know, God, and that's kind of.
- 34:47Speaker 3: What I hope for too, is like I've noticed the
- 34:49Speaker 3: last few presidents. You know, it's just there's multiple opportunities
- 34:55Speaker 3: for people just kind of quell the noise. Just you know,
- 34:59Speaker 3: be a man for the people, warned for the people, whatever,
- 35:02Speaker 3: and just quell the noise and actually do what you're
- 35:05Speaker 3: talking about in your campaign trail United Country. Bring everybody together.
- 35:09Speaker 3: It's been decades since that's really happened. And unfortunately, what
- 35:12Speaker 3: what tragedies are what bring people together? Nine to eleven
- 35:17Speaker 3: being the most recent, you know, and it's a shame
- 35:19Speaker 3: that that has to happen, right for people to come together,
- 35:23Speaker 3: you know, one stance now, it's just it's so it's
- 35:26Speaker 3: so bad, it's so toxic on both sides. It's it's terrible.
- 35:30Speaker 1: It is it's it's it's getting to the point where
- 35:33Speaker 1: I mean, if if civil war were to break out,
- 35:35Speaker 1: and it's not you know, rifles in the streets civil war.
- 35:38Speaker 1: But I think we're amos already there. I mean, I
- 35:40Speaker 1: think there's such a divide now, like what's the path
- 35:43Speaker 1: to come together in the middle, even like ten.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Percent each side? Like I just don't I just don't
- 35:48Speaker 2: think there's a path.
- 35:49Speaker 1: I think the.
- 35:50Speaker 2: Media has played this perfectly.
- 35:52Speaker 1: They on both sides, Fox, MSMB like they want to
- 35:55Speaker 1: vis the fire. Yeah, it's rating for them. They wanted
- 36:00Speaker 1: Trump in office. They fucking lie to you, they want
- 36:02Speaker 1: him in office. Yeah, you know, it's just ratings bands
- 36:05Speaker 1: if you get to talk about Yeah, And I just
- 36:09Speaker 1: you know, again, it was ill timed, but it's it's it.
- 36:14Speaker 1: That's the more I thought about it, this is this
- 36:15Speaker 1: is so trong.
- 36:16Speaker 3: Well, so the point you were saying before you you
- 36:18Speaker 3: raised your phone, you know, and it's true. And I
- 36:19Speaker 3: think that's you have a lot of keyboard warriors. You
- 36:21Speaker 3: have people that are that are spouting really vicious things online.
- 36:26Speaker 3: But if you. Actually, if you and I, you know,
- 36:28Speaker 3: sit down, whatever, you sat down with someone who's extremely left,
- 36:31Speaker 3: I'm sure you would find something.
- 36:33Speaker 1: You know.
- 36:33Speaker 3: May it sound like a campaign slogan, but it's actually true.
- 36:36Speaker 3: You can saying shit you want to online. If you're
- 36:39Speaker 3: sitting there eye to eye with somebody, I guarantee you're
- 36:41Speaker 3: going to find common ground. You're not gonna want to
- 36:43Speaker 3: kill that person. You know, silvil would be the last
- 36:46Speaker 3: thing to happen. People just need to sit down and
- 36:48Speaker 3: talk together.
- 36:49Speaker 1: That's it. I watched this video about a syop. It
- 36:52Speaker 1: was like this X Navy guy and he ran a
- 36:54Speaker 1: lot of syops, and you know, he said basically what
- 36:58Speaker 1: you're saying. He's like, you know, you may be far
- 37:02Speaker 1: right living at home, and your neighbor may be far left,
- 37:05Speaker 1: and you don't really see each other that often but
- 37:07Speaker 1: wave in the street, but you walk over to their house.
- 37:11Speaker 1: They invite you over for dinner and you guys, you know,
- 37:13Speaker 1: spend two hours and you know, you all want the
- 37:15Speaker 1: same things and you can fight, you can debate spring day.
- 37:19Speaker 1: You want to make money, you want to retired, you
- 37:21Speaker 1: want your kids to grow that stuff and it's all
- 37:24Speaker 1: the same, you know, all that extra stuff is what
- 37:27Speaker 1: the media wants you to to fight over.
- 37:30Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because if you're not paying attention to what's
- 37:32Speaker 3: really important. You know, if you divide people, then you're
- 37:35Speaker 3: not going to get a United States against something that's
- 37:37Speaker 3: going wrong, you know. I mean you see all the
- 37:39Speaker 3: stuff coming out now. I mean there's there's money is
- 37:43Speaker 3: being stolen from us in every aspect really every federally,
- 37:47Speaker 3: locally control. You guys just touched on that when Julian
- 37:53Speaker 3: was here. But it's so true. Everything is so expensive
- 37:56Speaker 3: kind of gets now the fourth highest you know, expensive
- 37:59Speaker 3: I think tax place to live in the United States.
- 38:02Speaker 3: So why people are moving down south Just it's it's
- 38:05Speaker 3: becoming unaffordable.
- 38:06Speaker 1: It doesn't need to be right, Like I'm at the
- 38:08Speaker 1: point now, like I just you know, bought my house
- 38:10Speaker 1: about a year ago, and it's like my tax is
- 38:13Speaker 1: just they're going to go up.
- 38:14Speaker 3: You know the assessments we just got.
- 38:15Speaker 1: Yeah, they're ridiculous. Mine went up forty No, mine almost
- 38:20Speaker 1: went up. I went from two twenty two to three
- 38:24Speaker 1: ten sons almost.
- 38:28Speaker 3: It's it's a huge increase both.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Of our own and the and the mayor, the new
- 38:34Speaker 1: mayor elect. Well he's in office now came out this
- 38:40Speaker 1: is this is like, this is now he's a Democrat,
- 38:42Speaker 1: but this is such a democrat thing to say, as
- 38:45Speaker 1: he said, uh yeah, I know you're all alarmed by
- 38:48Speaker 1: the assessments and the average, you know, increase, but I
- 38:53Speaker 1: can assure you that your taxes will not go up
- 38:56Speaker 1: comparable to what your assessment went up percentage wise. So
- 39:01Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, so right there, you admitted they're going up. Okay, great,
- 39:05Speaker 1: well what does that mean? There's no choice? I understand that,
- 39:08Speaker 1: but what does that mean? So okay, mine went not
- 39:11Speaker 1: forty percent? So I could you you could be correct
- 39:15Speaker 1: if my taxes go up thirty five percent? You're you're
- 39:18Speaker 1: right in your statement. They didn't go up as much
- 39:20Speaker 1: as it's mitigating. Yeah, it's just like dude, stop, I know. Stop.
- 39:26Speaker 3: Well my thing is like, okay, all right, so what
- 39:28Speaker 3: are you gonna use that money for?
- 39:29Speaker 1: I don't fucking know, that's what.
- 39:31Speaker 3: But that's my point. It's like, okay, so now we're
- 39:33Speaker 3: all paying into the kitty? Is there a breakdown?
- 39:37Speaker 1: Do you fixed my road? I mean seriously, yeah, I
- 39:41Speaker 1: got a bloody dose from a pothole the other day, right,
- 39:43Speaker 1: so you know, I think I think my I think
- 39:45Speaker 1: my house if it was in west Haven, I think
- 39:47Speaker 1: my west Haven taxes would be less. And that's saying
- 39:50Speaker 1: something because Milford has the ma all Milford has you know,
- 39:55Speaker 1: you look at Behave and a lot of that stuff.
- 39:57Speaker 1: They don't pay taxes to the town to west Haven.
- 40:00Speaker 1: You know, Milford has all of Route one that all
- 40:02Speaker 1: those businesses and and the mall is the biggest taxpayer.
- 40:06Speaker 1: You just and we have the fucking mansions and you know,
- 40:08Speaker 1: and the you know, the the nice neighborhoods. People are
- 40:12Speaker 1: paying ridiculous amounts.
- 40:13Speaker 3: Tons of apartments that they're building.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Yeah, all this new fucking multilah blah blah blah. Like
- 40:18Speaker 1: like I don't like. I know, we have a lot
- 40:20Speaker 1: of schools, and our police departments solid, and the fire
- 40:22Speaker 1: departments great, but I don't like. I just I want
- 40:27Speaker 1: to see the books almost.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Like right, everyone should be able to see the books, right,
- 40:30Speaker 3: it should be online. Nine items like what are your
- 40:33Speaker 3: education and fire, fire, police force? You know, all that
- 40:35Speaker 3: stuff that you everyone and people. Someone will come back
- 40:39Speaker 3: and say, well, we do do that, you know, but
- 40:41Speaker 3: how how much is that really transparent to the public?
- 40:44Speaker 1: Right? You know, do you have to go to like
- 40:46Speaker 1: they're gonna, they're gonna. Yeah, it's not you're gonna. It's
- 40:50Speaker 1: not gonna be broken down like you just said. No, No,
- 40:52Speaker 1: it's be that easy to look at because well, you
- 40:54Speaker 1: can put anything you want and ninety pages you want
- 40:56Speaker 1: to rifle through it.
- 40:58Speaker 3: It's like that's like the bills that they passed one
- 41:00Speaker 3: thousand pages. We gotta pass it before you read it.
- 41:03Speaker 1: Come on, no one's reading this, yeah, oh man, but yeah,
- 41:07Speaker 1: it's fucking I don't know how we got on this book.
- 41:10Speaker 3: Oh, we're talking about something. We're talking about Rob Reiner, and.
- 41:14Speaker 1: We got taxes. We went from Rob Reiner getting murdered
- 41:19Speaker 1: by his son got off the taxes in Milford. But
- 41:23Speaker 1: and then another new story of last week was the
- 41:25Speaker 1: shooting at Brown last Saturday. I believe it was now.
- 41:29Speaker 2: I'd been following this a little bit, but I like to.
- 41:32Speaker 1: Watch The Five on Fox. I just liked to I
- 41:34Speaker 1: like Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Waters and uh each week
- 41:40Speaker 1: every day this week they had to cut away to
- 41:42Speaker 1: go to the press conference with the Mayor of Providence,
- 41:47Speaker 1: the police chief of Providence, and some wacky fucking sign
- 41:51Speaker 1: language person. Do we still need that? Every fucking TV
- 41:55Speaker 1: has fucking.
- 41:56Speaker 3: I was distracted by her, I know before she looked
- 41:59Speaker 3: like she was looking for their ring or something like.
- 42:02Speaker 1: These weird facial gestures.
- 42:04Speaker 3: By the way, I'm trying to follow her lips and stuff.
- 42:06Speaker 3: I'm like, she's not saying the same ship.
- 42:08Speaker 1: Just turn on the fucking something whatever button you got
- 42:13Speaker 1: a hit for fucking text Anyway, this has been bosched
- 42:17Speaker 1: from the beginning. The University of Brown president. She is
- 42:20Speaker 1: a fucking moron.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Well, they don't know anything. They well they're claiming they
- 42:23Speaker 3: don't know.
- 42:24Speaker 1: Yeah, they're claiming they don't know anything, and they're they're
- 42:27Speaker 1: declaring that the town is safe. There's no immediate threat
- 42:31Speaker 1: to this is How the fuck do you know that
- 42:33Speaker 1: you didn't know what the guy is, you don't know
- 42:34Speaker 1: his name is.
- 42:35Speaker 3: There was a I was listening to the radio today
- 42:37Speaker 3: and they were talking about businesses, you know, local restaurants
- 42:39Speaker 3: around Brown University, which are normally you know, packed right
- 42:42Speaker 3: before the kids leave and even some kids stick around,
- 42:45Speaker 3: you know, and they were ghost town, like nobody's know
- 42:48Speaker 3: what's going on, no one's All those business are gonna
- 42:50Speaker 3: suffer now because about it.
- 42:52Speaker 1: We were talking about the Boston bombing a little bit,
- 42:54Speaker 1: like go get those guys and fucking investigator. They got
- 42:56Speaker 1: those guys in a couple of days. Yes, Boston shut
- 43:00Speaker 1: down on a Friday night. Yeah they shut down, or
- 43:03Speaker 1: no it wasn't a Friday, but the marathon was a Monday,
- 43:06Speaker 1: right whatever night it was at night during the week,
- 43:09Speaker 1: they like like stay in your homes, shelter in place,
- 43:12Speaker 1: and fucking brownivers like now we're clear, no no threat here.
- 43:16Speaker 1: Oh you got them, Oh no, you don't have them.
- 43:18Speaker 1: So you know his motives. You know, a lot of
- 43:21Speaker 1: these criminals don't go very far right. They like to
- 43:23Speaker 1: see what they've caused, the action.
- 43:26Speaker 3: The kids in the study hall. There must have been
- 43:28Speaker 3: thirteen fifteen kids in the study hall. So they let
- 43:31Speaker 3: them all go, hey, you're good. Swat teams here, you're good.
- 43:34Speaker 3: They didn't sip and detain them and question each one
- 43:36Speaker 3: of them.
- 43:37Speaker 1: What did you see? What did you hear?
- 43:38Speaker 3: What did he say? They still nobody said before he started.
- 43:42Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of people fired after this. Well,
- 43:45Speaker 1: I hope that police chiefs should be the first one.
- 43:47Speaker 1: The Brown University president should be second. You know, they
- 43:50Speaker 1: have fucking they never had any cameras until recently. How
- 43:55Speaker 1: are you, like, one of the most prestigious universities, it
- 43:58Speaker 1: probably has fucking twenty billion dollars in endowments.
- 44:03Speaker 2: Can't fucking secure your campus at least with video.
- 44:06Speaker 1: I'm not saying you could have prevented what happened, but
- 44:09Speaker 1: we definitely could have fucking followed the shooter, got them
- 44:11Speaker 1: identified a facial recognition. I mean, christ target has fatal
- 44:15Speaker 1: facial recognition. I can't steal anymore from time, not that
- 44:19Speaker 1: I ever did.
- 44:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, especially this day and age. I mean
- 44:22Speaker 3: we're talking, you know how many years it was? Just
- 44:25Speaker 3: was it the anniversary of Sandy Hook? I mean yeah,
- 44:29Speaker 3: you know, in this day and age, I mean, column
- 44:30Speaker 3: buy and all these all these things happened like these
- 44:32Speaker 3: schools don't take Percy building was also wide open, like
- 44:36Speaker 3: there is a pass key to get in, but the
- 44:37Speaker 3: building was wide open. And this cat that got in there,
- 44:40Speaker 3: apparently or allegedly, went to a spot where there was
- 44:44Speaker 3: an old side of the building where there was no cameras,
- 44:46Speaker 3: got in, did his business, and got out, and nobody
- 44:49Speaker 3: knows where the fuck he is.
- 44:50Speaker 1: Right, that's it. And to me, like, fact, dude wearing
- 44:54Speaker 1: a mask. Right, There's a guy I work with and
- 44:57Speaker 1: he wasn't around last week earlier this week, and I
- 45:00Speaker 1: was waking the video. You're like, wait, can I go
- 45:03Speaker 1: wait a second? Is that so and so? And I like,
- 45:05Speaker 1: I took a picture of the TV and I said
- 45:07Speaker 1: it to all my buddies at work.
- 45:08Speaker 2: I'm like, Yo, we haven't seen.
- 45:09Speaker 1: This guy know that walk?
- 45:11Speaker 3: Wait? Is that a wing in his hand?
- 45:12Speaker 2: That gate they call it.
- 45:14Speaker 1: I've seen this all over Like, I've never heard it
- 45:16Speaker 1: called that a certain walk they call a gate g A.
- 45:19Speaker 3: I t yeah, you familiar with that through I've heard
- 45:22Speaker 3: of it. Yeah, I've never heard of that. I think
- 45:23Speaker 3: it started with like John Wayne or something. I don't
- 45:25Speaker 3: know that that's a certain way, but like I've heard
- 45:28Speaker 3: it like.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Four different instances in the last month, and I'm like, God,
- 45:31Speaker 1: like what gate? Right? And I'm like, this is really
- 45:34Speaker 1: this is gonna be the new word. This is the
- 45:35Speaker 1: new six seven coming out. I didn't even know what
- 45:37Speaker 1: that is. It probably sounds stupid saying I did never
- 45:39Speaker 1: really heard of that word, but I was always like
- 45:42Speaker 1: the way the person walks and kind of see.
- 45:43Speaker 2: It super gate, super super gay, super gay.
- 45:48Speaker 1: I can't say that, but apparently no breaking news they
- 45:51Speaker 1: caught the shooter or they know they didn't catch them.
- 45:54Speaker 1: They identified them, and now they're trying to uh now
- 45:58Speaker 1: they're trying to uh go located. I guess like he's
- 46:01Speaker 1: just gonna be sitting at the local BELI. I mean,
- 46:04Speaker 1: that guy had so much time to get away. They
- 46:06Speaker 1: didn't know his name. He could have fucking fled their country. Yeah,
- 46:09Speaker 1: like gone far away.
- 46:11Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't know what the facial recognition and
- 46:15Speaker 3: stuff that they have now the FBI has now, I
- 46:18Speaker 3: mean not to bring up sore subject, but January sixth,
- 46:21Speaker 3: they found every single solitary person that went into the Capitol,
- 46:27Speaker 3: every one of them, every single one, and most of
- 46:29Speaker 3: them spent time in jail as they should. I mean,
- 46:33Speaker 3: it was breaking and entering. I mean whatever, it's our capital.
- 46:37Speaker 3: But you're telling me, what's that That's fine? Well, right, no,
- 46:41Speaker 3: we could we could go down that road too, right.
- 46:43Speaker 1: Well, you do see.
- 46:46Speaker 3: Videos that you see there's the Capitol police walking alongside
- 46:50Speaker 3: people going, hey look at this. This is it was
- 46:52Speaker 3: almost like a tour, but it was Yeah, it was terrible.
- 46:56Speaker 3: But again, every single person was was recognized and prosecuted. Basically,
- 47:02Speaker 3: you're telling me you can't find one maybe two dudes
- 47:05Speaker 3: they just did apparently, but we'll see who else fucking crazy.
- 47:09Speaker 1: Well, we'll see what comes with it. But you know
- 47:12Speaker 1: you're pushing. Uh you know, tomorrow's day seven. Yeah, it
- 47:15Speaker 1: was last Saturday. So yeah, I don't know. I think
- 47:18Speaker 1: I think it's well, let's see. My guess is it's
- 47:20Speaker 1: lip service.
- 47:21Speaker 3: What about the thing in Australia? If you want to
- 47:26Speaker 3: run the show, please, I have no laptop in front
- 47:29Speaker 3: of me.
- 47:31Speaker 1: Yeah, look at our pretty faces on the internet. Yeah,
- 47:34Speaker 1: let's get right into a Bonnie Beach in Australia again. Uh,
- 47:39Speaker 1: this is another anti Semitic attack. It was a honka
- 47:43Speaker 1: celebration on the beach and two crazy gunmen just like
- 47:50Speaker 1: brazenly opening fire. Cops were there, didn't respond, didn't do
- 47:55Speaker 1: a thing, and it took civilians to basically thwart this.
- 47:59Speaker 1: Fucking Yeah, the Gray Mass motherfucker. You see the other
- 48:01Speaker 1: video of the old couple that were in the street
- 48:04Speaker 1: and tackled the other guy. They were like sixty year
- 48:06Speaker 1: old couple that fucking tackled the other guy. Awful though,
- 48:10Speaker 1: I mean, it's awful. Yeah, fifteen Now, I don't know,
- 48:13Speaker 1: might might climbmight be sixteen. It's just imagine just going
- 48:17Speaker 1: to the beach. Yeah, you know, celebrating Honker or whatever Christmas.
- 48:21Speaker 1: You're in a warm area the middle of the winter
- 48:23Speaker 1: and you're on a beach. And just the crazy thing
- 48:26Speaker 1: about gunfire too. And I've never been around, you know,
- 48:28Speaker 1: any kind of attack or anything.
- 48:30Speaker 2: But there's that delay you have.
- 48:35Speaker 1: You don't believe, you don't know what's going on, right, Like,
- 48:37Speaker 1: what's that noise? You know, Oh it's a car backfired?
- 48:41Speaker 1: Oh they're shooting fireworks fires, So the gunman almost get
- 48:44Speaker 1: that ten seconds. No one really knows what's going on.
- 48:48Speaker 1: Thing to really fucking do damage people.
- 48:50Speaker 3: Jason concert with the in Las Vegas loud Music.
- 48:55Speaker 1: I like, I did a podcast on that with a
- 48:57Speaker 1: gentleman that was there. Unbelievable, he was right there. I
- 49:00Speaker 1: saw a lot of people die. Yeah, it's it's it's
- 49:04Speaker 1: you know, so no one really knows what's going on.
- 49:05Speaker 3: And I mean the thing that's going on to be honest,
- 49:08Speaker 3: I mean, you have radicalized individuals that are running loose,
- 49:14Speaker 3: you know, and you could talk politics all you want,
- 49:17Speaker 3: you know, I think that you have to be tolerant,
- 49:19Speaker 3: you have to be understanding of people, but you also
- 49:22Speaker 3: have to be cautious.
- 49:23Speaker 1: And you have to be real.
- 49:25Speaker 3: You have to be a realist of what you're dealing with.
- 49:29Speaker 1: You know.
- 49:31Speaker 3: You know, we did let a lot of people in
- 49:32Speaker 3: this country. I'll come on and say it. You know,
- 49:34Speaker 3: there's twenty five million, whatever the number is.
- 49:37Speaker 1: You know, you don't know everybody.
- 49:38Speaker 3: I mean I have to you know, young kids. My
- 49:41Speaker 3: daughters graduated college. I mean, you know, I was always
- 49:45Speaker 3: scared of campuses things like I was in the back
- 49:47Speaker 3: of my mind. She'd stay scared, but in the back
- 49:49Speaker 3: of my mind. So I mean that you have to
- 49:51Speaker 3: be real about it. Yeah, you have people that have
- 49:54Speaker 3: a certain belief in religion that that don't jibe. You know,
- 49:58Speaker 3: they come right out and say they want to kill
- 50:00Speaker 3: kill Jews.
- 50:02Speaker 1: They're not they're not shy about it.
- 50:03Speaker 3: No, it's they're not shy about it. I mean, you
- 50:04Speaker 3: have to be cautious. You should not have to walk
- 50:08Speaker 3: around anywhere in this country or any other country and fear.
- 50:12Speaker 1: You just shouldn't. And this is where like the pro
- 50:14Speaker 1: palest any and people have really just escalated it to
- 50:18Speaker 1: a you know, Jews have been you know, obviously since
- 50:22Speaker 1: you know we can remember, just vilified for just being Jewish,
- 50:28Speaker 1: Like it's not a choice, you know, I.
- 50:31Speaker 2: Mean they're born, you know, I mean, yeah they could
- 50:33Speaker 2: I guess.
- 50:35Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 50:35Speaker 3: It's just yeah, it's like there's a sickness.
- 50:38Speaker 1: I really fear. Like, you know, you look at Minnesota,
- 50:42Speaker 1: Minneapolis and and you know a lot of Somalians taken
- 50:46Speaker 1: over and they're they're posting tiktoks now that you know,
- 50:51Speaker 1: one one kid was posting you know, you know, funk,

- 51:01Speaker 1: free shit. You know, they're like gloating about it. And
- 51:04Speaker 1: that's unfortunately, that's the TikTok world we live in, where
- 51:08Speaker 1: you know, there's never it's amazing, you know. I I
- 51:11Speaker 1: once got like banned from Facebook for like somebody posted

- 51:41Speaker 3: or something like?
- 51:43Speaker 1: What the fuck? It was? It was a joke.

- 51:51Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, are you fucking serious.
- 51:53Speaker 3: I have a special set of skills butter and cutter.
- 51:59Speaker 1: And like, my girlfriend she's not on Twitter, and uh,
- 52:02Speaker 1: we were watching the uh the Patriots pre game on Sunday,
- 52:05Speaker 1: and she's in love with Will Campbell, so he would
- 52:08Speaker 1: happen to walk in with the iHeart Drake mayshirt on
- 52:11Speaker 1: so she saw it. I'm like, I'm like, she follows
- 52:13Speaker 1: him on Instagram, my stuff. She goes, We'll you see it?
- 52:15Speaker 1: What name I saw on the TV. But I'm like, no,
- 52:16Speaker 1: it's all over Twitter. She was, I'm not on that.
- 52:19Speaker 1: I'm like, just start an account. I just follow who
- 52:23Speaker 1: you want. It's that simple, right, and just go to following,
- 52:26Speaker 1: not the four you tab because that's gonna be everyone
- 52:28Speaker 1: you hate. So go to that and she did, and
- 52:31Speaker 1: she sends me a text he to their screenshot that
- 52:33Speaker 1: she was banned for. She's like, jer I never even
- 52:37Speaker 1: commented on anything. I follow five people and they're banning me.
- 52:40Speaker 1: I'm like, the algorithms are all fucked up today. I go,
- 52:43Speaker 1: just just thought was supposed to fix that show. Yeah,
- 52:45Speaker 1: he didn't do a good job of it. I think
- 52:47Speaker 1: it's it's probably what was it Jack? What's his name, Jack,
- 52:50Speaker 1: Jack Smith? Jack Smith, the former CEO. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 52:54Speaker 1: is it Smith?
- 52:55Speaker 3: I think so, yeah, Jack, we'll call him Jack Smith.
- 52:58Speaker 1: Jack Jack Smith. Probably fucking put some bugs in there before.
- 53:01Speaker 3: You probably did screwed them.
- 53:04Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh yeah another you know these these I
- 53:08Speaker 1: said this a long time ago, these social media actually
- 53:11Speaker 1: said when the iPhone came out, like these are going
- 53:12Speaker 1: to ruin people's lives and the internet is gonna I mean,
- 53:17Speaker 1: it's you can blame I. I I'm pretty sure you're
- 53:20Speaker 1: pro gone. I don't want to put that words in
- 53:22Speaker 1: your mouth.
- 53:24Speaker 3: Pro Second Amendment, Yeah, okay, I don't know if I'm
- 53:26Speaker 3: pro gune. I'm not a big gun fan personally.
- 53:28Speaker 1: Yeah, so Second amendments.
- 53:32Speaker 3: In the second Amendment.
- 53:34Speaker 1: I just laugh when you know these these shootings happen,
- 53:37Speaker 1: and I'm just like, I don't think people realize, like,
- 53:42Speaker 1: if you take away our rights to own a firearms,
- 53:45Speaker 1: and I just became an owner in the last year,
- 53:48Speaker 1: and you know, just sitting in my safe at home,
- 53:51Speaker 1: print got to get in it. You know, somebody breaks in. Sorry,
- 53:54Speaker 1: someone's gonna win. And you know it's like, if you
- 53:59Speaker 1: take way the right to own a gun, do you
- 54:03Speaker 1: think the gun industry is going away? Do you think
- 54:06Speaker 1: that there's all these illegal guns are going to magically
- 54:08Speaker 1: disappear from the streets and we're just gonna be safe communities. Wo.
- 54:12Speaker 2: No, Look at Australia. Look a look at Rob Reiner.
- 54:15Speaker 1: Look at Australia.
- 54:16Speaker 3: Though you get killed by a knife, Australia had a
- 54:18Speaker 3: mass shooting. I think seven place. They are the strictest.
- 54:21Speaker 3: I mean, they basically banned guns. There was something like
- 54:24Speaker 3: seven or eight thousand guns that were turned down.
- 54:26Speaker 1: Some old dude had to tackle the guy instead of
- 54:28Speaker 1: put the fucking nine millimeters.
- 54:29Speaker 3: If you ever get a chance, there's a comedian out there.
- 54:32Speaker 3: This is a while ago. It's probably ten ten years ago.
- 54:34Speaker 3: So for Jim Jefferies is Australia. Yeah, it does a
- 54:37Speaker 3: whole Democrat too, but yeah, fair enough. But he does
- 54:40Speaker 3: a clip on the whole Australian thing and it's pretty
- 54:42Speaker 3: damn funny, like no more guns, that's fair, all right?
- 54:48Speaker 3: But yeah, I know, so your strictest gun laws ever.
- 54:50Speaker 3: And you see that in our cities here, the strictest
- 54:53Speaker 3: gun laws. You know, you're basically what do they call
- 54:55Speaker 3: them easy targets or something like that or target rich environment,
- 54:58Speaker 3: which is a horrible thing to say, but it's true
- 55:01Speaker 3: movie theaters shoot ups and things.
- 55:03Speaker 1: I mean, well, look at New York City, right man. Yeah,
- 55:06Speaker 1: so my girlfriend's going tomorrow with her son. He's almost sixteen,
- 55:10Speaker 1: big big boy now. And I told them like a
- 55:15Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, when they decide they do it
- 55:17Speaker 1: every year, they take the train in and I said, guys,
- 55:20Speaker 1: I'm not telling you don't go. You guys, use your tradition,
- 55:24Speaker 1: do what you gotta do. But literally, head on a
- 55:29Speaker 1: fucking swivel. You hear anything, run the other way, like
- 55:32Speaker 1: don't be like you know, you hear five like whatever?
- 55:35Speaker 1: Not a fact, right, but you know you here's some
- 55:36Speaker 1: somebody arguments, you know, but she's like, we won't go.
- 55:40Speaker 1: We won't no go because they go to Brian Parks.
- 55:43Speaker 1: It's not like they're going on great, but don't go
- 55:44Speaker 1: to Times Square. Please don't get off the train, go
- 55:48Speaker 1: to Brian Park, do your little shopping and just get
- 55:50Speaker 1: on the train home, which is a shame. And he's
- 55:52Speaker 1: like why, And I'm like, listen, you're probably gonna call
- 55:56Speaker 1: me racist because you sitting in school. But like there's
- 55:59Speaker 1: a lot of bad chicking on down there. There's a
- 56:00Speaker 1: lot of Jewish hate. There's a lot of Somalians, there's
- 56:02Speaker 1: a lot of people taking over Times Square. There are
- 56:04Speaker 1: stabbings almost daily in Times Square. It's not I don't
- 56:08Speaker 1: particularly think it's safe. And one of my biggest gripes
- 56:12Speaker 1: is I can't carry I cannot bring my gun into
- 56:15Speaker 1: the city. Right, technically I could if I went to
- 56:18Speaker 1: town Hall at six in the morning and registered it
- 56:21Speaker 1: for the one day past I think you get drove
- 56:24Speaker 1: home cost you right, right? Yeah, yeah whatever, but seventy
- 56:29Speaker 1: five bucks over saving my own life making something. Yeah,
- 56:32Speaker 1: But like that's why don't like a metro card, right,
- 56:35Speaker 1: That's why no one carries guns in the city, because like,
- 56:38Speaker 1: if you get caught, you're going away like they're they're
- 56:41Speaker 1: strict in the city New York, not as much but
- 56:43Speaker 1: the city itself. And uh, because she has a license,
- 56:48Speaker 1: I would just give her my carry and she's like, no,
- 56:50Speaker 1: well I can't. I wish I wouldn't want to get arrested.
- 56:53Speaker 2: But it's like, I don't know, Like I'm not fearful for.
- 56:59Speaker 3: You're saying it. You're not just like hoping for the
- 57:01Speaker 3: best right, You're You're You're basically saying about what you're
- 57:05Speaker 3: concerned about. And I think that's the right way to
- 57:07Speaker 3: go about it.
- 57:07Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't step foot in that fucking cesspool. I
- 57:10Speaker 1: haven't since COVID. I'm like, I'm not going to It's
- 57:12Speaker 1: such a shame.
- 57:13Speaker 3: I mean, you look at San Francisco and New York
- 57:15Speaker 3: and you know.
- 57:16Speaker 1: Cago, but Chicago's different. Chicago is like, yes, they have
- 57:20Speaker 1: a lot of their crime, but you go to like
- 57:22Speaker 1: Madison Ave and all that. You're fine in those areas,
- 57:25Speaker 1: you know, but you go it's a lot of seas.
- 57:27Speaker 1: Baltimore is the same way, you know. I remember I
- 57:30Speaker 1: remember going to an Orioles game first time ever.
- 57:32Speaker 3: I wanted to go to Camon yard's never beautiful.
- 57:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard, but I was dating girl at the
- 57:38Speaker 1: time and we did the weekend down there and they're
- 57:40Speaker 1: playing the Red Sox obviously, and uh we were just
- 57:44Speaker 1: happened to talk to a couple of guys behind us,
- 57:46Speaker 1: and there's a bar across the street called uh oh fuck,
- 57:51Speaker 1: I just saw the other day. It's like the local
- 57:53Speaker 1: water called everything Casting Flag and an old one. But
- 57:56Speaker 1: you know, they don't have as many bars like we
- 57:58Speaker 1: have around dead Way, so sure.
- 58:00Speaker 2: The ship and I'm like, yeah, where do you go
- 58:01Speaker 2: after the game? He's like, well, you know, stop.
- 58:03Speaker 1: There, of course, you know. And then what you want
- 58:05Speaker 1: to do though, is don't take a left. You're gonna
- 58:09Speaker 1: want to go right because if you take a left,
- 58:11Speaker 1: two things are gonna happen. One if two things are
- 58:13Speaker 1: gonna happen. He goes, you're either what did he say,
- 58:18Speaker 1: You're either gonna get pulled over. What did he say?
- 58:22Speaker 1: He goes, You're gonna get pulled over by cops. Yeah,
- 58:24Speaker 1: it's going a little wacky for being white or something
- 58:27Speaker 1: like that. Or you're gonna get killed, like it just
- 58:29Speaker 1: it just gets really bad if you take a left.
- 58:32Speaker 1: Some weird shit. He said, I can't remember. You take
- 58:35Speaker 1: it right? You know, you can go to Fell's Point,
- 58:36Speaker 1: you can go to fucking all these different areas. I'm like, okay,
- 58:39Speaker 1: all right, So we did a drink and we went right.
- 58:43Speaker 1: At least you remembered. Yeah, right, and like, go left,
- 58:47Speaker 1: I think you said. I definitely said go left.
- 58:49Speaker 3: Follow the yellow brick road.
- 58:50Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh yeah, it's sucking. Uh place is crazy.
- 58:54Speaker 1: We got a little camera issue here going on fucking thing.
- 59:00Speaker 1: No worries were good. I'm just a little off camera
- 59:03Speaker 1: and no one watches this ship anyway. What do I care?
- 59:05Speaker 3: What are you talking about with?
- 59:06Speaker 1: You want it? They will? Do you want it? They will?
- 59:09Speaker 3: I'm a transplant. No one knows who I am.
- 59:14Speaker 1: All right, So we've talked most Oh and the one

- 59:33Speaker 1: and his wife and family perished in that crash today.
- 59:37Speaker 1: Like I was reading an article that it was near
- 59:40Speaker 1: a golf course, and uh, there were guys golfing and
- 59:43Speaker 1: they laterally like the plane was so fucking low when
- 59:46Speaker 1: it flew over their head on like the ninth green
- 59:48Speaker 1: that when the plane crash, debris from the fucking plane
- 59:51Speaker 1: landed on the green and they were running crazy.
- 59:54Speaker 3: And they were pissed. They're like, I'm trying to put

- 1:00:03Speaker 3: don't know why I may think of this, but who
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: was the the Yankee pitcher? Was a Corey Little? Remember
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: he was like, yeah, amateur pilot.
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: Yeah, and you crashed in Manhattan And this was I
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: think it was actually.
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: After nine eleven, which is terrible because people were like,
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: oh my god, you know what's happening. Yeah, it was
- 1:00:20Speaker 3: just random stuff thurmon months and then when we can.
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: Go on and on you it's crazy about Corey Little.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: He was on my fantasy team.
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: Really that year, and you're still pissed this day.
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: No, I actually kept him on my team, like I
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: can't drop him.

- 1:00:33Speaker 1: Put him on the respect.
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: Dead you know why I.
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: Asked you if you lived in north Aven, not knowing
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: you lived in Milford, like an asshole that I am. Don't.
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: Through my research, I've lived many places.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: You know the Lab is. I've heard of it. So
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: the Lab is that high end sports car like boutique.
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: It's on the left before getting off the exit somewhere Northaven,
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: like where uh Longhorns is. I see it from the highway.
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: It's called the Lab. It used to be a gym,
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: like a fitness edge or something, not an edge. But
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And I could be completely wrong.
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: If anyone's listening, you can correct me. I think the
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: guy might have made some crypto money or something, or
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: got some money from his family and they bought the thing,
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: and it is fucking beautiful. My kid, fucking he would

- 1:01:28Speaker 1: loves cars, so he goes a plate Tex so he's
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: doing automotive and stuff and excellent. He would go to
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: the car shows and all this and loved it. But

- 1:01:48Speaker 1: last Sunday, okay, And I follow him on Instagram and
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: he's like, oh, do you see the lab closed? He's
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: like all upset. I'm like no, and I went online
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: I saw it, and so then I'm like, what happened.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: He's like, I know he's going to make a statement,
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: and uh he.
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: Did, like a little later, he made a statement. He's
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: basically like, you know, this was great.
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: But fucking I'm so like just bleeding money. So I'm like, well,
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: what did he do a lot? You know, like what
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: what what was his sales there? Because I mean this
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: guy gave away like a Lamborghini or something like a
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: contest or maybe he never did, but something like that.
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: And he's like, oh, he does a lot of headlights.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, what else would keep it going? I'm like,
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: like this place would be perfect, Like no, no, it
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: was just bad decisions in the business. And he admitt
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: it to it, like he was very up forward with
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: it up front, and uh. Then I then we started
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: talking about it and I'm like, well, think about it.
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: You know, we're in you know, like Connecticut, New Haven area.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: You know how many you know, Ferrari, Porsches, Lamborghini's fucking
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: whatevers are around. You know, Coona's Eggs, all the ship
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: that I only know the names of him because I
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: play a racing game on fire Field. Well that's what
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: I said. I said, Greenwich, maybe Westport, Litchfield or then
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: you gotta go just go south, you know, and build
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: year round.
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: I think the guy that owns the wind van up
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: there speaking Craig like Morris Are or something like that,
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: has like a collection. Yeah it's like McLaren's and.
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: Like, yeah, shit like that.
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: I'm not a car guy, but yeah, impressive.
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: You know, I mean, Brandon noise the fuck out of
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: your cars. Because we'll be driving. I'm like, oh, look
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: at that fucking like I'll just say something, you know,
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: and he's just like, that's not what that is, Like
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: that's a Volvo, damn Volvo when.
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: I know it.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: But uh but anyway, so uh yeah, so the lab closed.
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: I just wanted people shout out at the lab like
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: they my kid really really love those guys and sucks
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: that they closed. But let's uh, let's wrap it up
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: on a little sports lettle. Let's let's uplift ourselves over here. Yeah,
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: let's bring it up on they sucked. Yeah for the Patriots.
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: The Patriots, it was fun for a while. We were
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: up twenty one nothing. I am of the ILK my
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: whole life, even during the Tom Brady era. I don't
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: care what the score is. I'm never happy until you
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: know the last few minutes, when you know it's really
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: out of reach, when you know I'm like, dude, this
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: is just watching Josh Allen the week before against Cincinnati,
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, this isn't over, you know. And and
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: and my.
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: Biggest gripe in that game.
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: Besides letting up five straight touchdowns, was the last drive
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: of the half where we kicked the field goal. We
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: had no urgency. I wanted a touchdown there, like, let's
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: just get that touchdown back then you just scored on us.
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: Let's go up in twenty one because they're getting ball
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: at the half, so the least they get the ball.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: And I actually thought, even when we kicked the field goal,
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, because I didn't think they could
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: stop us. So I think we built it. I felt
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: we built a big enough lead where we can absorb,
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: we can go touchdown for touchdown.
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're safe for the second right.
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: And all we did in the second half was that
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: fucking run that you know they couldn't tackle them, and
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: and he you know, Henderson ran six yards down the
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: left side for a touchdown. Other than that, we did
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: nothing on offense in the second half.
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: I remember as well. I watched the whole game, and
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: I don't have like one of those photographic memories. But
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: what I do remember, or a few drinking All that's
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: because I'm slamming Counterweight's usually delicious, by the way, shout
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: out very weight. But uh no, I mean I'm watching
- 1:05:23Speaker 3: the game, and I mean I paused the TV at
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: one point. The father in law was watching the game
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: with me. I'm like, that is holding guys coming.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: Out on the corner.
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: I mean, just blatantly. He's wrapped around his neck, he's
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: hauling him to the ground. There probably was about four
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: or five calls in that second half. I'm not, you know,
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: one of those just whatever, it's all the ref's fault.
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: But and as patients fans, you can't say that because
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: they're just gonna throw Tom Brady's error in your face,
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: you know.
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: But the refs helped.
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: The refs were awful.
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: I still don't understand the interception call that they made.
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: They called it a reception and a.
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: Pass interference, right, I'm like, wait a second, he turned
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: his head, which is the cardinal rule. You turned your
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: head right and you make the interception, They're not gonna
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: call p I. And then when the ref announced it,
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: and he's like the play and the result of a
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: play was a catch and I'm like, what, Like it
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: hit the guy in the chest, he never had his
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: hands on it, and Marcus Jones caught the got the
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: ball rebounded that off of them. Are you one of
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: those like people that are you? Do you think the
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: NFL is fixed? Uh? I think I think there's a
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: little I don't know. I'm not one of those huge
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: conspiracy theories in the NFL. Like it's like it's, uh,
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: what are they called scripted any of that stuff. There's
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: no way you can script this shit, not with this
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: oblong football that gets fucking bounced around. However, I think
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: there might be just like the NBA, there might be
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: a bit of a call from the big guys like, hey,
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: you just you know, if you see this happen late
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: in the game, let it go or maybe fucking toss
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: the flag like we want, you know. And with gambling now.
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: Everywhere, it's everywhere.
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills were favored by two and a
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: half in that game and they won by amazing.
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: Yeah, and people are like pulling their hair out whatever
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: for that.
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, yeah, there's there's definitely a lot to it,
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: so trust a lot of it.
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: But you're gonna hate me for this, But I I
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: grew up a Cowboys fan still am always have been.
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: And it's sad you no, I thank you.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: You're the only one.
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: Everyone else just hates me.
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:07:19Speaker 3: You know, I'm a Red Sox fan too, and I
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: know what it's like to be like a Yankee fan.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: But uh yeah, Cowboys haven't won anything thirty years and
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: they look like they're not gonna win anything for the
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: next thirty years. Just the way it is now, you know,
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: they had to like glimmers of hope. It's almost like
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: I remember HARKing back to being like a harperd Whaler fan,
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: which was my favorite team of all time. You know,
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: Red Sox close second, but uh, you know you, the
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: state of the team is terrible. But I when my
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: son was was young, I actually pushed him to be
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: a Patriots fan for the reason that local team I
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: can bring him to Foxborough. I had been to May.
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: I've been to probably thirty Patriots games, some with our
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: friends Joseph Goffa, Bobby and Joey Bobby.
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: Babby uh Bobby, Uh No, he gave those up.
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: But we get tickets all the time. Yeah, but I
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: saw you had two Patriots AFC championships. It's tough for
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: me as a local kid too not to just fall
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: in love with the Pats. I mean, they were so
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: successful for so long. But I made sure I kind
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: of pushed my son to be a Pas fan, And
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: now he is a rabbid pass fans and like so
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: he got to watch like the Red Sox rise from
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: four as a young kid.
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: So he's he's had a fucking he's had a great run,
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: great life.
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: Doesn't care about the bronze really cel Nicks, No, but
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: he's paid Patrick Red Sox patriotsball. No. No, he went
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: to Eastern for some reason. He doesn't like I don't
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: know why, but whatever I like, I love you come basket.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: Whenever I get in arguments with people, I'm like, all right,
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: you gotta understand, we'll take out the.
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: Nineties, eighties and.
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: Seventies when I was younger, because we really we had
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: three Celtics Championships and that's pretty much it, right, right,
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: But since two thousand third era, yeah right, well since
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: two thousand and one, it's six four, two and one.
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: So it's six Pats, four Red Sox, two Celtics, one Bruins.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: That's thirteen titles in twenty six years. That's one every
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: other year. Yeah, that's insane, especially when I Yeah, so
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: it's like they, uh, well, I'm trying to say, oh,
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: like the New York fans, you know, they are like
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: the fight with them, and then and then and I'm
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: just like, you guys literally have like eight teams. We
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: have four, you have eight franchises.
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: The Giants and Jets are horrible, right, They're horrible.
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: And then I go, oh, you really want to go
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: into like my fandom, you can throw in the six
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: Yukon Championships. Okay, that brings us up to twenty two
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: and if I really want to be a dick, the
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: thirteen that the Women of one because I've watched every
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: one of them. I'm not like a die hard fucking
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: women's basketball fan.
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: Copp bought Champs a champ.
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: That's it twenty two and thirteen, it's thirty five, So
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: I'm one point three every year? Right?
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: Can we throw it in like a Whaler's Adam's Division?
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: Is that? Oh? Well?
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: Yeah, Stanley Cup, But I don't know.
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, Carol Hurricanes Tagger through the Heart.
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's true.
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: It's uh. They went in like right after they left
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: to it was a few years, yeah, but I mean.
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: It was I still kind of watch with one eye.
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: I sort of sort of follow the Islanders now, but
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: not really.
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: Yeah, so how do you how do you?
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: How do you? So? What do you give the Patriots
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: after the loss? I mean, I think here's here's I
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: was actually looking at today. ESPN did a whole thing
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: about like scenarios leading up to the playoffs, like going
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: the game through game of every team. So they had
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: the Patriots actually losing this week and then winning the
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: last two, finishing thirteen and four.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: They had Buffalo winning out like.
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: Every days, losing this week this week to Baltimore.
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: Baltimore okay, yeah, and then winning Jets Miami, which are
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: they in Baltimore? Yeah, okay, but like Lamar hasn't practiced
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: all week, he's sick. I think it's a winnable game
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: for us. I'm not too worried about it. Yeah. So
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: they have us going thirteen to four and then have
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: the Bills winning out. They have the Bills beating Philly
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: like thirty five and nothing or something stupid. It's like, okay, whatever, right,
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: and they're thirteen and four. However, we can lose to
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: Baltimore and went out and still win in the Vision
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: because we'd have a better AFC East record because they
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: have two loss in the AFC East, we only have
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: the one against them, so we'd be the two seed.
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: So they'll be the wild card and have to play
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: on the road basically every game, which they can win on.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: But I just Denver just for some reason.
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: They actually looked good last week, but they really scare me.
- 1:11:40Speaker 3: Their defense is really good. It is, but Denver is
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: kind of like Miami. It's hard to go to Denver
- 1:11:45Speaker 3: and win to Denver and win Miami. It's hard to
- 1:11:47Speaker 3: go anywhere else.
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: But if we wouldn't have to play until the championship
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: game and you could lose the first round.
- 1:11:52Speaker 3: I mean, for me like watching, you know, having the
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: Patriots' success, Tom Brady being you know, best ever whatever.
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: My business partner, my best friend, huge, huge Pats fans,
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: and he's in Oregon. He's just got banners and chip
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: It's right, it's great. But it's just so fun to see,
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: like the resurgence of the Pats. They have a great coach,
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: they have their offensive coordinator back, they have.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: The rest quarterback. So pissed right now, I would be
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: surprised if we won Super Bowl this year.
- 1:12:20Speaker 4: But when I did the when I did the preseason
- 1:12:23Speaker 4: NFL show, me and my buddy, they're relevant again, right, Oh,
- 1:12:26Speaker 4: they're relevant that the ship isn't the right direct the
- 1:12:29Speaker 4: coaching quarterback and now they're going to have a quarterback
- 1:12:31Speaker 4: that wide receivers are going to want to come to
- 1:12:33Speaker 4: and play.
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: And play with it.
- 1:12:35Speaker 3: And you're gonna get a Randy Moss again, right, You're
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: gonna get someone like can deep threat Wes Welker. You know, sure, yeah,
- 1:12:42Speaker 3: but so an awesome defense.
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: When I'm actually gonna record it and post it on
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: Facebook again, my show I did before the season started,
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: and me and my buddy went down game for game
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: and I ended up at thirteen and four and like
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: everyone laughed at me. Yeah, thirteen and four, and I'm like, oh,
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: I mean, like listen, you know. And then they lose
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: to the Raiders and then Pittsburgh and they're one and two.
- 1:13:05Speaker 3: I'm like, all that, right, I looked like So I
- 1:13:08Speaker 3: was at the Pittsburgh game. Yeah, and they looked terrible. Yeah,
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: and that was the last time they looked terrible.
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: I think very bull like, you know.
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: Like even like last Sunday, Like, dude, they lost thirty
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: five thirty one, Like if the defense gonna make one
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: stop on those five years you said you were at
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: the Giants game.
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: My son was at that game. It was a Monday
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: night game. And when the Giants are the Giants, I
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: mean they're decimated.
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: The fucking toe kick, What the hell was that? So
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: where we were sitting, it's kind of like where Bobby sits,
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: but we were were used to sit in the end
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: zone kind of corner, but we were a level up
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: in the two corner section, yep. And we thought it
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: was a block kick because you couldn't see, like you
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: just saw the players and they're all like and then
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: they tackled the guy and we're like, so we're sitting
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: there like, yeah, I got the ball back. And then
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: they show the replay of the jumpo John.
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: And the whole section was like what it wasn't even close.
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: No, that's like my golf shot.
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: I was gonna say, yeah, like not even your worst
- 1:13:57Speaker 3: golf shot would never be twelve inches.
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: Yeah, and I could swing through.
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: It, you know, at least. But this is what I'm
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: doing for Christmas. And Nicole is so we I brought
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: her to one well, she drove us that night, so
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: I took her son and her stepfather. They're both Giants fans.
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: It was like a Christmas thing for the three of us.
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: And I was supposed to get a room up there
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: and we drive up, but he his team, Plaate Tech
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: made the playoffs, so he had to be at school Tuesday.

- 1:14:40Speaker 1: we did nice.
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: I brought her a one game a couple years ago.
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: They played Cleveland and it was a literal monsoon like monsoon,
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: and it was just brutal. The tailgate was brutal. Yeah,
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: It's just one of those things. And I'm like, all right,
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: So I said, I figured, I figured, I've never thought
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: about doing this before until fucking this game. So they
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: played my amy last week of the year. They play
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: in January fourth Sunday. So I'm like, wait a second,
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: I go, why don't we get a room at Patriot
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: Place Saturday night at either the Renaissance or the Hilton
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: Garden End. She's like, oh, she doesn't know what I'm
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: talking about. She's like, sure, whatever. I'm like, no, you
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: love the shops when we're up there, right, Well, we
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: go up Saturday, we can have dinner up there, shop
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: walk around, and then Sunday we don't have to worry
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: about the traffic.
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: We're there, We check.
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: Out eleven, we leave our car in Valet or wherever
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: the fuck we leave it, and we just go to
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: the game and we'll leave like a mid third quarter
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: and beat the traffic and get home. Wouldn't she like,
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: what a fucking great idea I came up with. I
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: don't know why, I've never done that before. And we
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: don't have to get up to the ash crack at
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: dawn to drive up there and then sit in that traffic.
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: It's fucking brutal. They're good again.
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: That traffic is so sad. It is so this.
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: I mean you typically we tailgate, right, and you light
- 1:15:53Speaker 3: the grill up again after the game and grill, and
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: you watch everybody sitting in their cars all mad because
- 1:15:58Speaker 3: they're waiting in traffic. Yeah, you're grilling, you're eating, and
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: then you go out when the traffic is lightened up.
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: I wonder if the hotel would be mad at you
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: if you like set up a little tiny grill like
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: right outside, right in the room you vented.
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: You know Johnny Pool, right, I don't think so. Oh,
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: he was a Friday's guy. He works at Citrus now,
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: but he's taking his family up. He got a room
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: at the other hotel, the Hilton Garden and Saturday, and
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: so they're staying Sunday too. Okay, it's not cheap, but
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: actually he got a good rate because he booked it
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: a long time ago. I just booked mine now. But
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: it's so cool staying in these hotels. I did for
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: the two back to back AFC Championship games against the
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. We were in the hotel both days and
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: it was fun. We're both games it was fuck cold, yeah,
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: and we're just like sitting in the room drinking. Look
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: looking at all these assoles freezing on something. We'll get
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: room service.
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: Surely you're in like a robe with hot cocoa.
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: Like it's a little chilly. Oh man. So so you know,
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: like obviously Bobby pended a lot of games with him
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: and then and we used to take Bobby's tickets a
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: lot me and joke off of and go up there.
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: And uh, I mean dating back to you know, before
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: the Tom Brady era. Oh yeah, this is a wild ago.
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: Did you know the old stadium?
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: I was at the last game there. Uh well, yeah
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: it was something, Yeah, it was it was Sullivan. But
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: that's when the Sullivan's on the team. It was just
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: called it was just called Foxborough Stadium. Before they built
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: a new one.
- 1:17:23Speaker 3: It's just called the stadium.
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: Yeah, high school Bleacher Stadium. So fucking I mean, I
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: got a million stories, but one of them that involves
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: both of them is. Uh. We were in two separate cars,
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: and we parked in one of the lots on the right,
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: you know, well a private lot, not the the owned
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: by the by the Patriots lot. And me and Joey
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: pull in and we've had a couple on the ride up.
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: And remember we had this bottle of Jacob's well bourbon,
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: heard of it, okay, So we had a bottle of that,
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: and I smoked some weed and I don't I don't smoke,
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: but Joey does. So I took a couple of hits
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: and I'm flying. So I'm just fucking and we can't
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: find Joey or Bobby. We don't know where he is.
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: And he's like, we're on I think we had cell phones,
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: but not like iPhones back then, you know, so no texting, nothing.
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: So he's, Bobby, where are you?
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: I'm over see the flag. There's like a hundred flags,
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: the patron flag. It's funny, right, So I'm just swinging this.
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: Fucking bourbon, I said Joey.
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: I turned her. Joey to go, I know how we
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: find him? He's like, how, I'm like, Bobby, So we
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: just start walking around the parking lot. Yo, Bobby for
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: like ten minutes and finally.
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: Here, Joey, there's Bobby right over here.
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: So we finally find him. We're fucking tailgating, you know, Joe.
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: Bobby brings like the little portable Habachi grill kind of thing. Yep,
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: and uh I've never seen this before and it's fucking brilliant.
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: So if you're ever going out tailgating with one of
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: those charcoal little grills, yeah one, they're probably thirty bucks.
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: We've left them before, like fucking we're not even gonna
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: bring them home. Yeah. And uh so I see Bobby
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: with with four potatoes and he's wrapping them up in tinfoil,
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: like right well, about to go in the game. I'm like,
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: what are you doing.
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: He's like, dude, put these on the grill in there.
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: Yep, just throw them right on there. We get back,
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: we got baked potatoes, baby, I'm like, get the fuck
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: out of it. Was like wizardry. And then he brings
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: out this tub out of his cooler with all the fixings,
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: sotur cream to bacon bits, the butter. Fucking unbelievable, this
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: shred of cheese and we're fucking sitting there bombed and
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: everyone's like you know, waiting in the car, but we
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: a lot of times we wait out the traffic to
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: get Outah, just wait, you're not going anywhere anywhere, so
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: fucking we're sitting there were eating baked potato. Like I
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: it's one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: in my life. A three hour on a grill. I mean,
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: it was, it was perfect. It was perfect.
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: Now he's graduated, I mean we you know, we just
- 1:19:49Speaker 3: actually went to the Yale Harvard game recently a couple
- 1:19:52Speaker 3: of weeks ago, and I mean, man.
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: It's uh, there's really sixty thousand people there.
- 1:19:57Speaker 3: It felt like it did. Yeah, it was pretty full.
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: It was.
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: It was, yeah, it was full. In the nineties, it
- 1:20:04Speaker 3: was you know, yeah, it was like whatever. But I
- 1:20:06Speaker 3: mean that's the big game of the year. You had,
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: you know, tons of people tailgating. But I mean tailgating
- 1:20:12Speaker 3: now is not like tailgating thirty five years ago. Thirty
- 1:20:15Speaker 3: years ago. You just tables, grills, everything, booze, setups, mimosas.
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: But the coolest thing was like there was a there
- 1:20:22Speaker 3: was like a band. There was like three kids in
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: the back of a pickup truck with like a drum
- 1:20:27Speaker 3: set ample fires and a bass and a guitar, like
- 1:20:30Speaker 3: putting on a little show.
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: It was great.
- 1:20:33Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fantastic.
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: It is next year? Is it? Is it Harvard right? Well?
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: I mean it's a Harvard home Yeah? Oh no, kidding, Yeah,
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: I want to go.
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: I want to go too.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: I think that'd be awesome.
- 1:20:46Speaker 3: Can we grills a friendly like Yockey Way, which is.
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: We go to the bars? Well, we can probably get
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: in a lot where we could grill, but no, we'd
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: probably just it's like going to a Red Sox game,
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: you know, the bars, right, but a little more. But
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: it's fun.
- 1:21:01Speaker 3: It's gonna be great.
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's finish on this. You're a Red
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: Sox fan.
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: Yes, If you had to grade their off season so
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: far on a scale of F to.
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: D, which would you give them?
- 1:21:14Speaker 3: I would say F and D like funk. I don't know, no,
- 1:21:19Speaker 3: I just say it's the same thing as last year was,
- 1:21:22Speaker 3: like you know, I mean higham Bloom didn't do much.
- 1:21:26Speaker 3: You know, now we have our new guy.
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: I'm Bloom did well and a lot of people will
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: be like, well that the players were there?
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: Is he drafted well?
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: Yes? And he left Dombrowski his Bookie Bets trade was awful. Yeah,
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: Stokowski is the guy. Dombrowski is the perfect g e
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: for an owner that wants to spend.
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: Yes, well, he brought us the World Championship. We got
- 1:21:46Speaker 3: Chris Sale, all that good stuff. So yeah, I mean
- 1:21:49Speaker 3: I think that most Boston fans are burnt about the
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: pe Alonzo thing.
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:21:53Speaker 3: I think, you know, people kind of perfect. So I
- 1:21:56Speaker 3: think he would have been. But the thing is he's
- 1:21:59Speaker 3: terrible defensively. That's the one drop. It's batting, I mean,
- 1:22:02Speaker 3: home runs. Everything else he's going to hit you, I
- 1:22:06Speaker 3: mean Schwarber. I mean, I don't know why they give
- 1:22:07Speaker 3: up Shorber in the first place. I don't think. I
- 1:22:11Speaker 3: don't think that Tristan Cossas was quite ready. People forget
- 1:22:14Speaker 3: that Tristan Costas is still on the team right. Uh,
- 1:22:17Speaker 3: one of the top prospects in the country when he
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: came up, and yeah, he's been hurt.
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: If I think it would have been different, yeah, I
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: really do.
- 1:22:27Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so people forget about the guys that
- 1:22:29Speaker 3: we have coming back, and people easily forget that. So me,
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: I'm okay. I mean, they just picked up an arm
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: from Pittsburgh. Not really familiar. But yeah, the good news
- 1:22:39Speaker 3: is that dun BROWSKIMPI the farm system. I think that
- 1:22:41Speaker 3: they've been building that back and they're actually generating some
- 1:22:44Speaker 3: good talent. I want Duran Duran to stay. I think
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: William Bray was really talented. Yeah, it's just a matter
- 1:22:50Speaker 3: of finding what we need is a right hand and
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: bet we need like a solid right hand. Bet Ragman
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: would be great. I don't think he's going to stick
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: around six years.
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think he's going.
- 1:22:59Speaker 3: To stick around. He's going for his end contract, you know.
- 1:23:02Speaker 3: And I think Boston was like just crazy.
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: He's going to make less aav than he would if
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: he just kept his contract with him. He was making
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: forty million a year. He's going to get thirty now,
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: so he's losing ten years. He'll get the years.
- 1:23:15Speaker 3: Maybe, yeah, no, maybe There's the thing is like there's
- 1:23:18Speaker 3: not a lot of right handed bats out there. There
- 1:23:20Speaker 3: just isn't. So to me, what are they going to do?
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: I mean, I'm always up for getting pitchick. You know,
- 1:23:25Speaker 3: we have one of the best closers in the league.
- 1:23:27Speaker 3: That's pretty good. Yeah, we have a lot of guys
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: that pitchers that were hurt last year. You know, it's
- 1:23:32Speaker 3: almost like the same old story last couple of years.
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like, how how many years are we
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: going to go? And not like make a splash? Would
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: you see that they sold the Penguins?
- 1:23:41Speaker 3: Yes, I did see that.
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: So when I first read it, I, oh god.
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: They sold the team, that all the Penguins, you know, like,
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: damn it. I wish they sold our team.
- 1:23:49Speaker 3: I wish they sold the soccer team.
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: You wish, I know.
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: I mean they're selling it because they want that.
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: They want the Vegas NBA team when they expand, and
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: that's what they're going for. And I can't stand our
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: ownership the Winner Fest, the Fenway Fest or whatever you
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: call it. Uh, they just announced, uh the second year row,
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: not any ownership is going to show up because two
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: years ago they got booed off the stage, rightfully. So
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: I think last year's off season, you know, kind of
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: started a similar uh. And then we got Bregman and
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: Crochet in the trade. They still have time to you know,
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: say face here, Yeah.
- 1:24:24Speaker 3: It's not over.
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: We're early in the we are early. But but if
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: you know, you're a realist and you're looking at what's
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: out there, and if we lose Bregman, all right, we're
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: not going after Kyle Tucker. You know, we could still
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: sign Boba Shat, but again, he's not you know, I'm
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: not a big bow guy and he's gonna get paid
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: a lot. That's just me personally. I'm not a big
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: bow guy. But I don't know, like they got to
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: do something. I just don't think they care. I think
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: John Henry is so loof to really what's going on. Like,
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: you know, you could boom to his face. He'd be like, oh,
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: that's so nice to meet you. You know, he's just
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: the way the guy iss like cold. Yeah, its cold,
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: little fucking dead hand come out at you. But I
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: last year was the first year since in like four years,
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: almost like the Patriots, like where I actually enjoyed the
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: season and and I thought it would will be one
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: game one and I'm like, but I really felt that.
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: You know, Roman anthonyapp being in that lineup, he's going
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: to terrorize the Yankees if he can stay healthy. It
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: was just a weird, you know, he was swinging at
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: a pitch and he tweaked his back. I'm like, that's
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: not a good sign. Tristan Cashes has always hurt my
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: best friend Chris. He fucking can't stand the guy. I
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: keep giving him the benefit of the doubt that you know.
- 1:25:35Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's coming back unless they move him. He's
- 1:25:37Speaker 3: coming back this year, and you gotta at least give him.
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: He's a big he's moving right now. But he's left.
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: Were desperate at this point just re signed Bragman and
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: and I guess I'd have to be fine with that.
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: The only other thing, the only sleeper is that they
- 1:25:55Speaker 3: have a ton of arms. They have a ton of
- 1:25:57Speaker 3: guys in the farm system. They have a huge farm system. Know,
- 1:26:00Speaker 3: they're actually talking about getting Kyle Teel back from Chicago.
- 1:26:03Speaker 3: We'll see. I don't know that we need that, like this.
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: Thing, right, I mean, I'm not saying we've take him back,
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: but what.
- 1:26:11Speaker 3: Yez has been a wonderful months.
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: And then he's good defensively though he is, but you
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: got to have a good enough offense where you don't
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: need offensive of your catcher. He's perfect, right, but you're right,
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: he's you know. And then o Connor Wong didn't even
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: have a home run last year.
- 1:26:25Speaker 3: Like, yeah, he had, he had a tough year after
- 1:26:28Speaker 3: a pretty good year. But my thing is like there's
- 1:26:30Speaker 3: still like they have so much stuff to offer. You
- 1:26:33Speaker 3: never know. I don't know how much this left out there.
- 1:26:35Speaker 3: I mean, we don't want Cody Bellinger. He's just not
- 1:26:37Speaker 3: gonna fit on the table. Lefty right, another lefty.
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: I was thinking like Paul Goldschmid or something like, he's
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: not going to knock your socks off, but you know
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: he's power wrighty that can bash the wall. I don't know, like,
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: I just they got to do something. They have. So
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: there's two teams in the League Baseball and have not
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: signed a free agent this offseason.
- 1:26:58Speaker 3: Yeah, the Red Sox and the.
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: Cubs. No nothing else for clothes is the White No?
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: I mean like not.
- 1:27:08Speaker 3: There was I forget do they still have a team?
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: Well, think about that. They are you would expect it
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: from them right there, Like we just have to come
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: to the fact that we are not a big market
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: team anymore. We'll never get the show Haze or the
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: or you go back to, we will never get a
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: Mania Rammers again. You know, like that kind of player.
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: We're just not like unless they're homegrown.
- 1:27:30Speaker 3: Back when the Yakies owned the team and they were
- 1:27:32Speaker 3: just owned by a trust and you know they can't
- 1:27:35Speaker 3: spend money.
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: Right, It's like we have this like like fear of
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: signing these long. I I argue with people all the time.
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't care what they sign these people
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: for because they never stay. They get traded away, and
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: we could pay the money. I don't care. Fen White
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: makes handover fist. It's like my friend said, it's an
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: it's an ATM for John Henry. It is. That's why
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: he will never sell it. And he's right, he will
- 1:27:59Speaker 1: never sell it. Like what valuation would he be? Like,
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: all right, the fifteen billion, Sure, maybe find it for
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: that much, right, No, I agree with you.
- 1:28:07Speaker 3: It's it's a little grim. I mean, I'm one of
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: those like optimistic sports fans.
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna have to be.
- 1:28:14Speaker 3: I'm not one of the fucking sports They were at
- 1:28:16Speaker 3: least in the mix last year. Yeah, I think without
- 1:28:19Speaker 3: the injuries, they probably could have done damage. I don't
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: know if they would have beaten Toronto. They definitely were
- 1:28:24Speaker 3: not going to beat the Dodgers.
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: Well, Roman, Anthony, you never know.
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: I mean, you got crochet three games.
- 1:28:29Speaker 3: That's the other thing no one really talks about you.
- 1:28:31Speaker 3: You lean legitimate number two. You have to have it,
- 1:28:34Speaker 3: I would take I would be more excited.
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: You know, I'd sell the farm right now for Scoogle.
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: Well yeah, if you could sign them.
- 1:28:40Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's the thing is that they don't want
- 1:28:42Speaker 3: to have those two left back to back. That'd be crazy. Yeah,
- 1:28:46Speaker 3: I mean you'd have to give up the farm. That's
- 1:28:48Speaker 3: the thing.
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: You literally have to give up everything if they're willing
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: to spend. Give up the farm, rebuild the farm, and
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: then spend.
- 1:28:55Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean that's another can't say automatic win, but
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: that's that's pretty automatic with one two, right.
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't even in the regular season. I
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: wouldn't even put him back to back. I'd space them. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: because like you'll never have a fucking three game losing streak.
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean yeah, they've made moves that just baffle me.
- 1:29:13Speaker 3: Alasi means I can go back to John Lester. I
- 1:29:15Speaker 3: just don't understand, you know, letting uh, who was the
- 1:29:19Speaker 3: guy that went to the Rangers the picture? Let him
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: where you let him go? I know he's a study.
- 1:29:27Speaker 3: It's just that's the stuff that baffles me. Just let
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: these guys leave and I still can't see him Mookie
- 1:29:32Speaker 3: just dance seeing Mookie Bets and the Dodgers.
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: V trade. I wasn't so upset we traded Devers because
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: he was being a douche. But we had nothing for him.
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: We had nothing for Mooki. We have nothing left than
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: the team from Woki. It was Jeter Downs and obviously
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: Alex uh Erdugo Verdugo, who was awful. Who would we
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: get for Devers? I don't even fucking know, like, like just.
- 1:29:56Speaker 3: We got a couple of the couple of pictures Hamilton, Yeah, yeah,
- 1:30:00Speaker 3: come on, the fireball.
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: Or fleeced from two Fay, California. You know what that is.
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: They just wanted him the hell out of town.
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: Yeah, they wanted o town. They want to pay hm anymore.
- 1:30:08Speaker 3: I mean, listen, as Sox fans, it's like, you know, hey,
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: if you and I had an opportunity to play Major
- 1:30:12Speaker 3: League baseball and they were like, hey, go play for
- 1:30:13Speaker 3: ast Space, you'd be like, sure, yeah, can't wait. Oh yeah,
- 1:30:16Speaker 3: you know He's just like I'm not doing They didn't
- 1:30:17Speaker 3: ask me in the beginning.
- 1:30:18Speaker 1: I have to ask you.
- 1:30:20Speaker 3: Right, you're on a baseball team. You do whatever you
- 1:30:22Speaker 3: need to to get to win. That doesn't sit well
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: with me.
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: The dumbest comment he made was when they asked them
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: to play first and he said, well, I'm not changing
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: positions twice in a season. You didn't change a position
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: going from third base to dh asshole. Yeah.
- 1:30:34Speaker 3: Meanwhile, you were terrible at third pace.
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: Right, that's another thing we're gonna miss. Pregnant doesn't come back. Yeah,
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: he's a fucking hot corner man. He is good. Yeah,
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: he's very you know in stories, do you think if
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: we so moving forward, let's just say we get Pregnant
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: back and maybe another bat or whatever. I mean, I
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: still like our chances in the al. I mean, everyone's
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: high in Toronto, but Toronto's still weird to me, Like
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, they're just they they
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: don't frighten me. I don't know why. But I think
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: we're good. I mean, we're a good team. If Story
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: can stay healthy. I don't know what we're gonna do
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: at first base. But if Cash is back, and I
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: guess this would be it for him. This is his
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: last last chance.
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: Yeah, he has like a hangnail on his thumb, his black.
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: Finger painted thumb. You know, but you got a great outfield,
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: You got decent infield.
- 1:31:23Speaker 3: There's pose. It's a young team, it's a team you
- 1:31:25Speaker 3: can build on.
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: I mean, Roman Anthony I think is he's just perennial
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: All star. Absolutely, yeah, he's once he starts getting the
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: power going.
- 1:31:34Speaker 3: And he's gonna be stay down, Raphaela. If you can
- 1:31:37Speaker 3: figure out, you know, some major league pitch.
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: And then you got Christian Campbell contract.
- 1:31:43Speaker 3: I mean, you have you have depth, you do, so
- 1:31:47Speaker 3: we'll see, we'll see.
